Shoreview: Where everybody knows Ralphs name

San Mateo neighborhood rallies to support injured neighbor
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Ralph Cole is well known by his

neighbors. He was an active volunteer at
the local Boys and Girls Club, a frequent
speaker at San Mateo City Council
meetings and always offers a friendly
hello while making his way through the
Shoreview neighborhood in which he
lives.
So when the 72-year-old paraplegic
recently took ill, it came as no surprise
that his community rallied behind him.
Janet and Tom Vaughan started a

GoFundMe campaign and within five

days reached their goal of raising $3,000
to help with their neighbors medical
expenses.
While Cole and his wife insist theyre
neither looking for nor are they in need
of any charity, the longtime resident said
he was honored to know hes cared for.
The idea that everybody rallied
around me to give me a hand makes me
feel really good. To know that my neighbors and people around are willing to
reciprocate and come out and help, its
really nice. To know that we have neighbors that are willing to step up and be

heard and help their fellow man, its

great. Especially in the world we live in
today where everything is so hectic. It
makes me feel really proud to be part of
this society, Cole said.
His most recent health condition an
infection caused by gallstones hes slated to have removed later this month
required a costly ambulance ride after a
nurse told him he could die if he didnt
hurry to the hospital after days of not
being able to eat. But its just the latest
incident in a long history of complica-

WASHINGTON A sagging global economy has finally

caught up with the United States.
Nervous employers pulled back on hiring in August and

be weakening.

Bob worked as a plasterer

Three in running for high school district

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Continuing to ensure all San Mateo Union

High School District students are given an
opportunity to succeed amidst an education
landscape which is constantly evolving presents myriad challenges, according to candidates running for the district Board of
Trustees.
Two seats on the five-member board are up
for grabs, but incumbents Marc Friedman and
Stephen Rogers are running for re-election,
while educator Greg Land is also seeking
voter support on the all-mail ballot due
Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Achievement is on the rise at the districts
seven schools, and a few have gained national recognition for their success, but still more
work can be done to ensure the district is
offering a top-notch education to all students,
said Friedman.
Im trying to get re-elected to move forward and build on the successes weve
already achieved, he said.
Rogers shared similar sentiments, and said
he too would appreciate the opportunity to
help further the achievements of districts students and staff.
While serving on the board throughout the
Great Recession, Rogers cited his guidance in
aiding the district to navigate the financial
challenges caused by the economic downturn
as one of his greatest accomplishments.
Land, who works as a principal in the Los
Altos School District and serves currently on
the Burlingame Elementary School District
Board of Trustees, said he believes though the
district has enjoyed a recent stretch of success, there is more that can be done.
I think they have done a good job, but I
think they can do better, he said, of the current board.
He said the district should focus on pushing
its highest achieving students, as well as those
who are struggling to succeed, in an attempt
to engage all its young learners.
Part of the challenge officials face when
looking to improve student achievement is
negotiating changes in education, brought
forth in part by the implementation of a new
Common Core curriculum, said Rogers.
The standards demand a new style of
instruction, said Rogers, which requires offi-

cials to ensure the

resources are available to
offer opportunities for
professional
development, so educators can
use the most current
teaching methods.
And as the districts
economic position has
Marc Friedman improved in recent years,
the new learning standards have been implemented in a relatively
seamless fashion, he said.
The process we have in place is the best
road map to get us there, Rogers said.
Friedman concurred, and said the district is
well served to have the resources at its disposal to offer teachers the training needed to
effectively instruct students under the new
curriculum.
Land, a former teacher and lifelong education professional, said the implementation of
Common Core has forced both teachers and
students to view learning through a fresh lens.
The focus on critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity has been a
new perspective to consider for many, both
locally and throughout the state, said Land.
The challenge is the paradigm shift, and to
really look at things differently, he said.

Student assessment
But as the curriculum has changed, so have
the methods of effectively assessing student
learning, as state legislators recently did away
with the high school exit exam, which had
been used to gauge the ability of students to
grasp essential learning requirements before
graduating.
In the wake is left a vacuum, and education
officials are without a standardized method of
examining student learning.
But Land suggested the new Smarter
Balanced tests, implemented this year, can
begin to serve as a baseline for assessment.
He also said he favored establishing an
environment which offered students increased
authority in shaping their education.
Id like to see us empowering students to
take initiative, he said.
Examining graduation rates are another
method of ensuring students are retaining
their lessons, said Rogers, who said he felt
some sort of standardized test was necessary

to ensure basic standards

are being met.
Friedman noted the district enjoys graduation
rates higher than much of
the rest of the state, and
said assessment through
testing can be an effective
strategy, but added he did
not support high-stakes
Stephen
testing similar to the exit
Rogers
exam.
Rather than focus on testing, the most effective way the district can ensure it is offering
students a quality education is attracting and
retaining top-notch teachers, which has long
been a district focus, said Rogers.

Support for teachers

District teachers are offered a very competitive salary compared to their counterparts
across the state, said Rogers, which is indicative of the commitment by officials to ensure
the best talent is at the front of the classroom.
This has been a clear focus for us, he said.
Land agreed teacher compensation should
be a primary concern of officials when trying to maintain
the high standard of teaching
talent in the district.
Friedman pointed to the
recommendation
by
Superintendent Kevin Skelly
to build affordable housing
for teachers and district staff
in San Bruno on the former
campus of Crestmoor High
School as an additional effort
to make the district more
appealing for educators.
He said there likely isnt
enough money in the budget
to keep teacher salary competitive with the constant pay
hikes enjoyed in the technology and innovation sectors,
which are partially responsible for pushing the cost of living locally higher.
So creative ideas such as
the proposed affordable housing project, which will be
addressed during the board
meeting Thursday, Oct. 8, are

necessary, Friedman said.

We have got to think
outside the box and come
up with things like that to
help teachers to afford to
live in our community,
he said.
The board previously
addressed the affordable
housing
proposal
Greg Land
Thursday, Sept. 24, but
was unable to move forward with taking
action due to concerns regarding whether the
recommendation from Skelly was properly
publicized and communicated to the public.

Communication
Land said the communication concern is
indicative of a larger issue the district has
struggled with in the past.
We could do a better job of communicating, he said.
The district has received pushback from
various communities on issues related to

High-speed rail seeks private investors, input

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The California

High-Speed Rail Authority has received
35 responses from private companies
interested in financing, building and
operating the first 300-mile segment of
the controversial rail project. Officials
say the responses are a positive sign of
private interest after lawmakers last
year dedicated a long-term funding
source.
Chief Executive Jeff Morales declined
to provide details Friday about what the
companies told the agency or make public the responses, saying officials are
still reviewing them and plan to meet
with the companies over the next two
months.
The authority provided a list of 35
firms that replied, including Londonbased Barclays Bank, a group called the
Chinese High Speed Rail Delivery Team
and several large international construction and engineering firms with offices
in the United States, such as Bechtel

Infrastructure Corporation, Siemens

Industry Inc. and AECOM.
Laura Mason, business development
manager for Bechtels North America
public infrastructure division, said the
company offered its expertise in publicprivate high-speed rail partnerships in
the United Kingdom and Korea.
It will take new model of contracting
that hasnt been seen before, she said of
the California project.
Several other firms contacted Friday
did not immediately respond to requests
for comment from the Associated Press.
Facing criticism from opponents for
the lack of private investors lining up to
finance the $68 billion project, the rail
authority asked private firms to respond
to a list of questions on how to reduce
costs, speed up construction and attract
more private-sector investment for a
segment from Merced to Burbank,
which is scheduled to start operating in
2022.
Until now we have been saying
There will be private sector interest.
Now the private sector is saying There

will be private sector interest, Morales

said Friday.
He said the responses allow the rail
authority to benefit from the collective
experience of firms whove delivered
big projects who can help us determine
the best path forward.
The state Legislature agreed last year
to provide the first ongoing source of
financial support to the project: a quarter
of all revenues from the states greenhouse gas emissions program in which
companies buy and sell pollution credits.
That amounted to $250 million last year
and could eventually total $3 billion to
$5 billion a year.
The authority will be holding an open
house meeting at the Burlingame
Recreation Center, 850 Burlingame Ave.
4 p.m.-7 p.m. Oct. 7, with a formal presentation beginning at 6 p.m.
A variety of engineers, right-of-way

Obama challenges Clinton and

other 2016 candidates on Syria
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Jeb Bush answers a question from the audience at a campaign town hall meeting in Bedford, N.H.

Bush donors embrace new mantra: Hes built to last

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Jeb Bushs

challenge in the first half of the year
was daunting yet simple. To be considered a fundraising success, the
Republican presidential candidate
had to hit the magic number of
$100 million, an ambitious goal set
by some in his campaign. And he
did.
As another fundraising period
ends, what now constitutes success

for Bush isnt as clear cut. No

longer the front-runner in preference polls, Bush wont repeat as the
champion at raising money in the
GOPs 2016 field, topped in the
past three months by retired surgeon Ben Carson and perhaps by
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, too.
They created such a high bar,
said Spencer Zwick, a top
Republican donor who was 2012
GOP presidential nominee Mitt
Romneys finance chief. Now

anything less than $100 million in a

quarter seems small.
But Bushs financial team and
strategists argue that he should now
be judged by a different benchmark.
Their mantra: Hes built to last.
Using phrases like go the distance, marathon and long
haul, they argue that the former
Florida governor is uniquely positioned to outlast other candidates,
regardless of the fundraising number he posts for the third quarter.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Friday accused
White House hopefuls of concocting half-baked ideas for solving
the crisis in Syria, appearing to even
dismiss his former Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clintons call
for a no-fly zone before later clarifying his view of the Democratic
front-runner.
The idea of a no-fly zone a
region of Syria that the United
States would protect from bombing
to create a safe corridor for refugees
has emerged as a favorite option
for Democratic and Republican candidates. Its a plan that allows them
to stake out a more aggressive military posture than Obama, while
stopping short of the kind of largescale combat troop deployments the
U.S. engaged in for years in Iraq and
Afghanistan and of which voters
have wearied.
Obama, who opposes such a
move, said hed like critics of his
Syria policies to be asked,

Oregon gunman was

an Army dropout who
studied mass shooters
By Jeff Barnard and Martha Mendoza
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROSEBURG, Ore. The 26-year-old gunman who opened fire on fellow students in his
community college English class, killing nine
people, was an Army boot camp dropout who
studied mass shooters before becoming one
himself.
A day after the rampage in this Oregon timber town, authorities said Christopher Sean
Harper-Mercer wore a flak jacket and brought
at least six guns and five ammunition magazines to the school. Investigators found another
seven guns at the apartment he shared with his
mother.
Officials on Friday also released the names of
the dead, who ranged in age from 18 to 67 and
included several freshmen and a teacher. They
were sons and daughters, spouses and parents.
One of the students was active in the Future
Farmers of America and loved to play soccer.
Another was on only his fourth day of college.
One was a 59-year-old student whose daughter
was enrolled in the same school but not injured
the shooting. Grieving families began sharing
details of their loved ones.
We have been trying to figure out how to tell
everyone how amazing Lucas was, but that

would take 18 years, the

family of Lucas Eibel, 18,
said in a statement released
through the Douglas
County Sheriffs Office.
Eibel, who was studying
chemistry, volunteered at a
wildlife center and animal
shelter.
Quinn Glen Coopers
Christopher family said their son had
Harper-Mercer just started college and
loved dancing and voice
acting.
I dont know how we are going to move forward with our lives without Quinn, the
Coopers said. Our lives are shattered beyond
repair.
Seven other people were wounded in the
attack in Roseburg, about 180 miles south of
Portland.
Harper-Mercer, who died during a shootout
with police, was armed with handguns and a
rifle, some of which were military grade. The
weapons had been purchased legally over the
past three years, some by him, others by relatives, said Celinez Nunez, assistant field agent
for the Seattle division of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Veteran who tried to stop

gunman was shot five times
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROSEBURG, Ore. When the gunshots

started at Umpqua Community College, some
people mistook them for falling books. But
Army veteran Chris Mintz quickly recognized
the threat.
He was in the military and knew what it
was, said Mintzs aunt, Wanda Mintz.
Her 30-year-old nephew, a student at the
college, told classmates to remain calm and
went to the door as the shooter came across
the hallway. He tried to stop the gunman from
entering the classroom and was shot three
times, his aunt said.
After Chris Mintz fell, he told the suspect:
Its my sons birthday today. Dont do this,
she said. The gunman then shot him at least

twice more and went into

the classroom, where he
kept firing. Nine people
were killed before the
shooter died in a shootout
with police. Wanda Mintz
said her nephew tried to
crawl away but could not
move because of his
wounds. He was recuperChris Mintz
ating Friday at a hospital
in Roseburg and was expected to survive.
Hes lucky to be alive, and were grateful
hes alive, his aunt told the Associated Press
on Friday. In an interview with ABC News,
the younger Mintz said: I just hope that
everyone else is OK. Im just worried about
everyone else.

Shooting victims: Teens just starting out, teacher

Kim Saltmarsh Dietz, 59, loved the outdoors, her 18-year-old
daughter and her two Great Pyrenees dogs, said Robert Stryk,
the owner of Pyrenees Vineyards in Myrtle Creek, where Dietz
worked as a caretaker for many years.
Dietz was taking classes at the same college as her daughter,
who was unhurt in the shooting, Stryk said.
Thats really the tragedy here, is that this is a woman who was
just trying to better herself, he said.
Dietzs ex-husband, Eric, is the vineyard manager, and both
were still close friends, Stryk said.
Eric Dietz, who had posted updates on his Facebook page
while searching for news of his daughter and ex-wife, on Friday posted a picture of Kim and confirmation of her death
with deep grief in my heart.
Stryk said that the two had met in Southern California, but that
Kim Dietz was originally from England.
She was a very energetic, very kind, kind soul,he said.Kim was
an exceptional woman.

The father of 19-year-old Lucero Alcaraz fought back tears
and anger outside of his Roseburg home Friday.
There is no sense in talking about it. Its in vain, Ezequiel Alcaraz said in Spanish.Whats the point in showing our pain?
Luceros sister, Maria Leticia Alcaraz, posted to Facebook that
her sister was missing, then broke the news that she was dead.
Never in a million years would I have imagined going through
something like this. She was my best friend and my sister, she
wrote. I cant begin to describe how I feel. Im full of anger,
pain, sadness, regret that I didnt get the chance to see her or
prevent this from happening.
Maria Leticia Alcaraz wrote of being proud of her sister for getting scholarships that would cover the entirety of her college
costs, and for the fact that she was in college honors and wrote
that she would have been a great pediatric nurse.
You were going to do great things, she wrote.
***
Jason Johnson had just started his first week at the college,
his mother told NBC News Friday.
Tonja Johnson Engel said that her son had struggled with drug
abuse, but decided to continue his education after completing
a six-month rehab program with The Salvation Army in Portland.
The other day, he looked at me and hugged me and said,
Mom, how long have you been waiting for one of your kids to
go to college? And I said,Oh, about 20 years, Engel told NBC
News.
She said that her son kissed her before he left for class Thursday morning.
Love ya, Engel told NBC her son told her
(http://nbcnews.to/1VsXTDZ ).Ill see you this afternoon.
In a family statement read by police Friday, Jasons mother said
that Jason was proud of himself for enrolling in school, and so
was his mom.They felt that Jason had finally found his path. His
family says that he will be loved and missed.

Chaffetz chairs the

who
shocked Capitol Hill a week ago by announcing his resignation under conservative pressure.
Yet its not clear the hardliners who ousted
Boehner and view McCarthy with suspicion
would flock to Chaffetz instead.

He always stood up for people, the statement reads. He was

going to take his brown belt test next week, and loved dancing and voice acting and playing Ingress with his older brother,
Cody.
Our lives are shattered beyond repair, his family wrote. We
send our condolences to all the families who have been so
tragically affected by this deranged gunman. No one should
ever have to feel the pain we are feeling. Please remember the
victims and their families. Please remember Quinn.

Lucas Eibel of Roseburg, 18. A statement by his family says
that Eibel, who was studying chemistry, loved Future Farmers

He was an amazing soccer player, a family statement reads.
His family also noted his academic achievements, including
graduating Roseburg High School with high academic marks,
receiving a Ford Family Foundation scholarship, and receiving
an Umpqua Community College scholars award.

Lawrence Levine of Glide, 67, was an assistant professor of
English at the college. Levine was a member of Steamboaters,
a fly fishing and conservation group.
Dale Greenley, a fellow member of the group said Levine was
an avid fisherman who used to be a guide on the north
Umpqua River.
He was kind of quiet and laid back, he didnt say much,Greenley said.But he was a good writer.

Treven was larger than life and brought out the best in those

Rebecka Ann Carnes of Myrtle Creek, age 18. U.S. Sen. Jeff
Merkley, D-Oregon, said that Carnes is the great-granddaughter
of his first cousin. In a written statement, Merkley wrote: Rebeckas beautiful spirit will be enormously missed.
A GoFundMe site has been set up for Carnes by her cousin,
Lisa Crawford at http://bit.ly/1ON5WHD. As of Friday afternoon,
the site had raised more than $1,200 to help Carnes parents
with Beckas final expenses.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have watched
Becka grow up, Crawford wrote on the site. She had just
started a new job and college classes.This isnt how life is supposed to work and I am struggling to wrap my mind around
the entire situation.
Crawford asked said that the people in Carnes life loved her
fiercely and are devastated.
Dont let life ever become so busy that you dont have a moment to stop and be kind to someone, Crawford wrote. Let
love and gentleness shine in the wake of this violence.

Around the state

Some evacuees return to
homes looted in California wildfire
MIDDLETOWN More than a dozen
homeowners who evacuated during a devastating California wildfire returned to find
their homes had been burglarized, authorities
said.
At least six people were arrested on suspicion of looting or planning to loot homes after
the wildfire that started Sept. 12, destroying
1,300 homes and killing four people in Lake
County.
A total of 14 homeowners reported burglaries, Lake County Sheriffs Lt. Steve Brooks
told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat on
Thursday.
One burglar broke into a home and spraypainted a car in the garage to make it look like
a police vehicle, so the thief could get away
easier, Brooks said.
The wildfire north of San Francisco was 97
percent contained after burning more than 118
square miles and sending thousands of people
fleeing homes.
Residents and businesses in the county have
filed more than 2,100 claims involving the
fire, Madison Voss, a spokeswoman for the
California Department of Insurance, told the

NEW YORK News of slower hiring

last month jolted markets early Friday,
driving government bonds up and the dollar down. The stock market, after slumping in early trading, finished the day with
a solid gain.
A jump in crude oil helped turn things
around, as Chevron, Exxon Mobil and
other oil giants charged higher. But the
swing was also a result of traders speculating that the weak jobs report will prevent the Federal Reserve from raising its
benchmark interest rate anytime soon.
The Fed has only two meetings left to
make a move this year: one later this
month and another in December.
It looks like October is clearly off the
table, said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global
Advisors. I think it puts into question
December, too.
The government reported that employers added 142,000 workers last month,
much lower than the 200,000 anticipated
on Wall Street, and hired fewer people in
July and August than previously thought.
The unemployment rate stayed at 5.1 percent, but only because many Americans
have stopped looking for work and are no
longer counted as unemployed.
Theres just no positive spin you can
put on it, said Russ Koesterich,

BlackRocks global chief investment

strategist. Combined with other reports,
it really raises questions about the
strength of the recovery.
Major indexes fell hard at the opening
of trading, with the Dow Jones industrial
average losing as much as 258 points,
then reversed course and charged higher
throughout the afternoon.
The Dow gained 200.36 points, or 1.2
percent, to close at 16,472.37.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
surged 27.54 points, or 1.4 percent, to
1,951.36. The Nasdaq composite rose
80.69 points, or 1.7 percent, to
4,707.78.
Sometimes, bad news looks like good
news for investors. Its been a confusing
theme ever since the Fed cut its benchmark rate to near zero during the financial
crisis in 2008, helping to set off a stockmarket rally.
In the upside-down logic of Wall
Street, discouraging economic reports

49ers face Packers; Raiders get Bears

Green Bay not overlooking San Francisco Old friends Del Rio, Fox are now foes
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Sure, the Green Bay

Packers know exactly where the Super Bowl
will be played four months from now.
They will take the field at Levis Stadium
on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers
with high expectations of returning to the
Bay Area for a second time come February to
play for the Lombardi Trophy.
Not that coach Mike McCarthy is mentioning anything of that nature. Nor does he
need to.
Thats not really my style or my
approach, McCarthy said. Were aware of
where the Super Bowl is and the 50th
anniversary and all those things.
The unbeaten Packers (3-0) are more concerned with keeping a good thing going and

making key strides on both sides of the ball

especially considering they have lost
their last four to the 49ers, including two
playoff defeats.
Yet this is hardly the same San Francisco
team. It has a drastically different defense
and a struggling offense that will be hardpressed to turn things around from a 1-2
start that includes giving up 90 points the
past two weeks. Colin Kaepernick threw a
career-high four interceptions in last weeks
47-7 beating at Arizona.
Yet Aaron Rodgers realizes Kaepernick
has been at his best against Green Bay, and
the MVP quarterback certainly isnt getting
ahead of himself even as others say hes
playing his best football yet.
Its early in the season, but were happy
with the way it started, he said.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. Jack Del Rio is

ready to match up with old friend and former
boss John Fox.
Oakland visits the Chicago Bears on
Sunday and instead of the usual collisions of
helmets and pads, the Raiders coach had an
unusual idea.
I wish it could be him and I wrestling on
the 50 (yard line), Del Rio said, tongue in
cheek. But thats not going to come down.
I think Foxy might still take me, hes a pretty tough guy.
Del Rio has a long history with Fox, having served as his defensive coordinator in
Carolina in the early 2000s and again in
Denver from 2012 to 2014. That included a
3-1 stint as interim coach in 2013 when Fox

had heart surgery.

Now, here they are, ready to meet as the
Raiders (2-1) take on the winless Bears (03).
You want to beat the guys you know real
bad, Del Rio said. Thats just how it is.
Fox praised Del Rio and said he was glad
to see him get another opportunity as a head
coach after a nine-year run in Jacksonville.
When Ive looked on, Jack and his staff
have done an outstanding job, really, in all
three phases, he said.
The Raiders come in with back-to-back
wins over Baltimore and Cleveland after a
season-opening loss to Cincinnati. The
Bears are at what might be their lowest point
in years.

Auburn hopes to get back on

track against San Jose State
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUBURN, Ala. The Auburn Tigers cant afford to overlook any opponent.
Sure, its the standard coach speak spiel from any heavily
favored team but this time it rings especially true.
The struggling Tigers (2-2) face a San Jose State team
Saturday that they presumably should be able to handle with a
bigger, faster, deeper Southeastern Conference-style roster.
An overtime scare against FCS Jacksonville State, followed by back-to-back SEC losses, should curb any tendency
to presume a victory over the Spartans (2-2). The Tigers are
20-point favorites and won last seasons meeting 59-13, but
that Auburn team was ranked fifth.
This group is looking to fix glaring problems offensively
and defensively heading into an open date. And to avoid
absorbing a loss that could give a disastrous turn to a disappointing season
Our focus is on us getting better and us getting a victory,
and thats what were focused on, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn
said.
With that in mind, hell start quarterback Sean White for the
second straight game. White faces a defense that is holding
opposing quarterbacks to less than a 50 percent completion
rate and is averaging six tackles for loss per game.
San Jose State has started quarterbacks Joe Gray and Kenny
Potter two games each, with Gray listed as the starter for this
one. Auburns inconsistent defense will face prolific tailback
Tyler Ervin, who already has 641 rushing yards and nine
touchdowns while catching 16 passes.
The Spartans do have the benefit, as coach Ron Caragher
said, of having been there, done that at Jordan-Hare
Stadium.
Its not as eye-opener of an experience because they have
been there, Caragher said.
Here are some potential story lines for the game:

Whites encore
Auburn could open up the playbook more for White in his

49ers brief
49ers tight end Davis doubtful
for Sunday with knee injury
SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon
Davis is listed as doubtful for Sundays game against the
Green Bay Packers.
Davis left last weeks 47-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals
with a right knee injury and did not return. He attempted to
practice on Thursday and Friday but left the field at the start of
team drills to work on the injury with the training staff.
Davis, 31, has eight catches for 109 yards and no touchdowns through three games. He missed two games in 2014
while dealing with leg and back injuries, marking the first
time he didnt appear in at least 15 games since 2007.

second college game or at least focus more on speeding up

the tempo as Malzahn favors. If the Tigers do manage a big
lead, former starter Jeremy Johnson might get a chance to get
back on the field and rebuild his confidence.

Top runner
Pummeled by LSUs Leonard Fournette two weeks ago,
Auburn faces another running threat in Ervin. He ran for 300
yards on 42 carries last week against Fresno State. Its the
highest total of the season for an FBS back. The 5-foot-10,
177-pound Ervin is much less physically imposing than
Fournette but has impressed the Tigers. Coach is like, He
could be an SEC back, Auburn defensive tackle Montravius
Adams said.

Borges returns
San Jose State offensive coordinator Al Borges held the
same position at Auburn, including the Tigers unbeaten season in 2004 with quarterback Jason Campbell emerging as a
star and NFL first-round pick. He worked under Tommy
Tuberville at Auburn from 2004-2007.

SEC environment
Given recent events, its not clear how full Jordan-Hare will
be, though its homecoming and Auburn has sold out every
home game this season. Caragher, a former Kentucky assistant, has an idea of what to expect in an SEC stadium. There
wasnt a game that I went to that wasnt frenzied, spirited and
festive leading up to it, said Caragher, who worked for the
Wildcats from 2003-2006. Its part of the culture, and I
respect that. Theres some very strong football enthusiasts
down there.

Auburn playmakers
The Tigers would love to get receiver Duke Williams going,
and maybe tailback Jovon Robinson or Roc Thomas, if
theyre healthy. Freshman tailback Kerryon Johnson is also
an emerging threat trying to build experience.
I was blocking on the play and someone accidentally
bumped into my leg, kind of rolled into my leg and kinda
caused my leg to strain, Davis said.
Despite being listed as doubtful, Davis didnt rule himself
out of Sundays game against the undefeated Packers.
Depends on how I feel. Feeling good? Why not? Davis
said.
The last time Davis saw the Packers he made a go-ahead 28yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter of a playoff game in
January 2014. The 49ers won that game 23-20 on a 33-yard
Phil Dawson field goal as time expired.
NOTES: RB Reggie Bush (calf) and WR Bruce Ellington
(ankle) are listed as probable for Sunday after missing the last
two weeks. San Francisco was outscored 90-25 in those
games, with the offense entering Sunday as the leagues lowest-scoring unit, averaging 15.0 points per game.

Cormier awaits UFC light

heavyweight title defense
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Daniel Cormier is learning

it was never the chase for the UFC light
heavyweight championship that motivated
him.
It was something much simpler.
I used to think this was the motivation,
Cormier said, looking to his left at the title
at UFC 192 Media Day on Thursday. I really did. Until I got it and nothing changed.
Because at the bottom of it, theres still
competition. Thats what Im here for.
Thats whats driving the champion ahead
of his first title defense against Alexander
Gustafsson at UFC 192 on Saturday at the

Boxing brief
Matthysse looks for his
next KO in showcase vs Postol
LOS ANGELES Lucas Matthysse fought
his way out of Argentine club shows and into
North Americas biggest rings over the past
decade, building a reputation among smart boxing fans as an unmissable brawler with a dramatic flair.
Matthysse seems long overdue to wear a
world title belt for the first time in his ascendant
career. The fighter known as La Maquina can do
it Saturday night when he meets Viktor Postol
in the famed outdoor ring in Carson, California.
The WBC super lightweight belt is on the line

187 in May.
Now he stands to face a hungry Gustafsson
(16-3), who last lost to Johnson via TKO.
Gustafssons training camp focused on
wrestling among other things, and hes confident his takedown defense he blocked
10 of Jones 11 takedown attempts in their
fight at UFC 165 is key.
You can talk a lot but lets see what happens inside, Gustafsson said. I know Ive
turned every stone in my training camp. Ive
been training with the best guys out there
when it comes to the wrestling part.
Cormier has somewhat become a polarizing figure since winning the title. He spoke
openly about lack of respect from fans and
spectators Thursday, but has come to terms
with the fact he can worry about only what
happens inside the octagon.
I think people like you when youre on
your way up, Cormier said. But the time
you accomplish stuff, its easier to dislike
somebody at the top than the guy trudging
along constantly.
for Matthysse (37-3, 34 KOs) and Postol (27-0,
11 KOs), the Freddie Roach-trained Ukrainian
with his own reputation to polish. Danny
Garcia, who beat Matthysse in 2013 to win the
same WBC 140-pound belt, has moved up to
welterweight and vacated his title, leaving it to
Matthysse and Postol, long the mandatory
challenger.
Matthysse has stopped eight of his last 10
opponents in violent fashion. His knockout
power and relentless style have won many fans,
but hasnt yet turned him into an irresistible
attraction for the sports big-name opponents.
He still dreams of a fight with Floyd

focused first on winning a title belt in this HBO

Kaepernick, who ran for a quarterback playoff-record 181 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his playoff debut against Green
Bay in January 2013.
San Francisco will have to keep an eye on
Matthews, too. His specialty is rushing the
passer, but Matthews has been playing a lot
more at inside linebacker to help stop the
run. Then, on Monday night, he was turned
loose on the quarterback again and had two
of Green Bays seven sacks against Kansas

I think the thing we generally like is the
fact that not only do we put our 11 best
players on the field, but we have plays
where Ill have an outside rush, me on the
inside, as well as dropping into coverage,
Matthews said.

Which team will catch his passes?

Kaepernick has played two of his best
games against Green Bay, winning one with
his legs and the other with his strong arm.
Yet the biggest question now is: will he
throw to his own team or the opponent.
Kaepernick is coming off his worst game as

Jack Del Rio said. Its always good to have
people healthy.
Oakland heads into the Chicago game with
the 13th-ranked run defense, giving up 275

yards on the ground in the first three games.

Almost half of that (127) came in the Week 1
loss to the Bengals when the Raiders got down
early then fell apart defensively.
Ellis, a fourth-round pick in 2014 who started 14 games as a rookie, was injured on the
seventh play of the game when his foot got
stuck in the ground during a goal-line play. A
pile of players rolled up on his ankle, and Ellis
initially thought his season might be over
before it really began.
I know it comes with the game but sometimes it throws you off a little bit, Ellis said
It makes you discouraged a little bit because
you worked so hard during the offseason and
then, bam, its gone just like that.
Hes back and fully healthy to rejoin a
defense that has given up just 83 yards in its
last six quarters.
Ellis credits McGee and Wilson for holding
down the fort in his absence.

Its a long season, run downs are tough and

were going to need those guys, Ellis said.
Theyre playing well.

Giving up the big play

RAIDERS

would have sidelined him anyway.

Ben
Roethlisberger
burned
San
Franciscos defense at every chance in Week
2, then Arizonas Carson Palmer did so last
Sunday. The 49ers have given up 90 points
over two games for the first time since
1980. The combined 65 points the 49ers
have lost by in those also is the largest margin over a two-game stretch since that 6-10
year in 80 a 48-26 loss to the Los
Angeles Rams followed by a 59-14 debacle
against Dallas.
Aaron Rodgers is obviously dangerous if
hes comfortable in the pocket, so thats
something we have to do this week, safety
Eric Reid said. It seems like every play
theres something we could have tweaked
that would have given us a better chance on
that play.

Reggies return
San Francisco might get a boost in the
running game to complement Carlos Hyde if
Reggie Bush returns for the first time since
injuring his left calf in the Sept. 14 season
opener against Minnesota. He returned to
practice this week.

Continued from page 11

that came on the heels of a 48-23 embarrassment at home by Arizona.
Chicago matched its worst start since 2003.
And another loss would put the Bears at 0-4 for
the first time since the 2000 team dropped its
first four.
Getting quarterback Jay Cutler back after he
sat out last week with a hamstring injury
would help. But the Bears issues extend
beyond the quarterback position.
Here are some things to look for as Oakland
goes for its third straight win and Chicago
tries to pick up its first under Fox.

Streaking Raiders
A week after snapping an 11-game road losing streak and a 16-game skid in the Eastern
time zone by winning in Cleveland, Oakland
is looking to end another drought. The Raiders
havent won three straight since beating San
Diego, Minnesota and Chicago in succession
in November 2011.

Coming, going

Go West
What a roller coaster of a month for
Packers wide receiver James Jones. He was
released by the Giants at the end of the preseason before getting picked up days later
by Green Bay to help replace injured Jordy
Nelson. Through three games, Jones has 12
catches for 219 yards and four touchdowns.
The native of San Jose is headed back to the
Bay Area as a go-to guy for Rodgers.
Its been amazing having him back,
Rodgers said. Hes a great teammate. He
has a lot of talent. We were really surprised
he was out there after last cuts. We felt like
we had a need there and Im glad we brought
him in.

Whether Cutler returns or Jimmy Clausen

starts his second straight game, the Bears
lineup will have a different look.
Chicago traded pass rusher Jared Allen to
Carolina after he was largely ineffective the
past two years. That along with the presence
of Lamarr Houston, Willie Young, Pernell
McPhee and Sam Acho at outside linebacker
made Allen expendable.
The Bears also traded oft-injured linebacker
Jonathan Bostic to New England and cut safety Brock Vereen.
Chicago might be getting defensive tackle
Jeremiah Ratliff back. The NFL suspended him
the first three games for violating its substance abuse policy, although an ankle injury

COYOTE POINT ARMORY

scopes, accessories, hunting accessories, knives.

341 Beach Road, burlingame

650-315-2210

The Raiders will need all the help they can

get against the Bears.
Chicago running back Matt Forte is the second-leading rusher in the NFL with 276 yards
while the Bears own the leagues sixth-ranked
running game.
When you look at his stats, hes running
the ball well, hes catching the ball well, hes
a high target for them, Oakland defensive
coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. Its good to
have our good players back to match with their
good players.
No tes : K Sebastian Janikowski will tie
Hall of Fame wide receiver Tim Browns team
record for most games played on Sunday at
Soldier Field. Brown played in 240 games during his career with the Raiders.

Terrific trio
The Raiders hope they just witnessed the
first of many big days from the combination
of Derek Carr, Amari Cooper and Latavius
Murray. Carr threw for 314 yards, Cooper
caught eight passes for 134 yards and Murray
ran for 139 yards against Cleveland. That
marked the first time since Jason Campbell,
Darren McFadden and Darrius Heyward-Bey did
it in 2010 that the Raiders had players reach
300 yards passing, 100 yards rushing and 100
yards receiving in the same game. Only one
other time in franchise history did the Raiders
reach those marks with their own draft picks.
Marc Wilson threw for 346 yards and Marcus
Allen had 102 yards rushing and 102 yards
receiving in the 1986 season opener against
Denver.

Nothing special
The Bears keep getting stung by big returns.
Arizonas David Johnson ran back the opening kickoff 108 yards two weeks ago. Against
Seattle, the Bears gave up a 105-yard kickoff
return to Tyler Lockett and a 64-yard punt
return by Richard Sherman on a trick play that
set up a field goal.
It does not help that the bottom of the roster
keeps changing, although special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers did not want to hear that.
There is an expectation and standard that
we expect to play on game day regardless of
who is out there, he said.

Run stoppers
The Raiders took the run away from
Cleveland last week and held the Browns to 39
yards after giving up more than 100 in each of
the first two games. They are facing a stiff
challenge with Chicagos Matt Forte second
to Minnesotas Adrian Peterson with 276
yards rushing.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Draftpot enters daily fantasy universe

By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

World headquarters for the daily

fantasy site Draftpot is a bedroom
in a New York City apartment a few
blocks from Columbia University.
Joey Levy and his two fellow
Draftpot co-founders sleep in the
apartment, too, making for an
easy commute.
Its very convenient and very
cost effective, Levy said. And it
allows us to work day and night.
The story is a familiar one:
College student with an idea creates a website and the money starts
rolling in. Draftpot may not be the
next Facebook, but in the first few
weeks of the NFL season there was
money rolling in and out.
We paid out $220,000 in prizes
our first football weekend, Levy
said. Were well on our way by the
end of December of paying a million dollars.
Levys company is doing it by
tapping into a daily fantasy sports
market dominated by DraftKings
and FanDuel, which both spent
huge amounts of money leading to
the opening of football season
promising to make millionaires of
some of their best players.
Draftpot at least so far is
promising no such thing. The
company does believe, however,
that the niche it has found in the
marketplace essentially games
with no salary caps gives players a far better shake than contests
that are dominated by the bigger
and more sophisticated players.
It levels the playing field and
gives casual players more of a
chance, Levy said. That
$220,000 we paid out the first
week didnt just go to five people.
Paying out $220,000, of course,
means the company took in more
than that. Draftpot charges a
rake of between 8 percent to 10
percent, so there is some room for
profit, even after paying rent and
utilities at the companys apart-

Theres a lot of operators out there trying to get a

piece of the pie. Ultimately, most of them will fail.
Cory Albertson, a top fantasy player who studies the industry

ment headquarters.
Not bad for a 20-year-old fantasy
sports junkie who just a few
months ago was quietly pursuing a
history degree at Columbia.
Ive promised my mother that I
will go back to school when this
is over, Levy said by phone.
Levy hopes to postpone that
return after taking an idea and turning it into an operating company
in such a short time. It was in
January when he and fellow students Joshua Hughes and Jessica
Vandebon launched a prototype
and went on the social media app
Reddit to ask people to test it.
Within 15 minutes, a Reddit user
was asking how he could invest in
the company, eventually putting
in $20,000. A few months later,
with help mostly from angel
investors, Draftpot has raised
$2.2 million to fund operations.
With only 7, 200 registered
users, Draftpot is tiny compared to
the industry powerhouses, which
spend tens of millions of dollars
to get customers. Its also in a
business where customer loyalty
is fleeting and theres no guarantee
the next week will be better than
the last or the company will survive at all.
Theres a lot of operators out
there trying to get a piece of the
pie, said Cory Albertson, a top
fantasy player who studies the
industry. Ultimately, most of
them will fail.
But Levy believes Draftpot can
succeed by enticing players to
stay longer than on the major
sites, where player churn is
high. The main reason people
stop playing fantasy sports, he
said, is they dont like losing
money to players who may flood
contests with multiple entries
and use computer algorithms to

turn profits.
Those big players win a big
majority of the money in daily
fantasy play, forcing the daily
sites to keep replacing the smaller
players who drop out after losing.
Casual players will consistently lose money in that system,
Levy said. And losing money
consistently is not good for user
retention.
By eliminating the salary cap,
Draftpot allows players to pick
whomever they want on their
teams. The contests are still a
game of skill, Levy contends, but
not so much tilted in favor of big
players who might win other contests by consistently finding
obscure players who might add a
few points to their scores.
High-volume players still may
have a little bit of advantage with
us because they put more time in
studying players, Levy said. But
casual players have more of a
chance.
Draftpot may have a chance,
too, though the daily fantasy market can be a treacherous one. A
number of companies have already
gone belly-up, with some taking
customer money with them.
Unlike sports betting in
Nevada, there is no regulation and
no guarantee that any of the sites
are entirely transparent with players.
Levy said he believes his company has a chance to become one
of the top five to six sites once the
daily fantasy industry shakes out.
Right now hes in for the long
haul, despite his promise to his
mother to finish school.
Columbia is good for this
because if youre successful they
will still give you readmission,
he said. Right now, were all just
taking time off to do this.

Sports briefs
Arizonas haka coming to an end
TUCSON, Ariz. Arizonas football players will no longer perform a pregame haka
dance after a New Zealand expatriate in
California started a petition to stop it.
The haka, a Maori ancestral war dance from
New Zealand, became popularized at sporting
events by New Zealands national rugby team,
the All Blacks.
Arizona has been performing the dance
before football games since 2009, when a
group of Polynesian players introduced it to
share an aspect of their culture and fire up the
team.
Christina Campbell started a petition to
stop Arizonas haka after a video of the
Wildcats doing a haka before a game went
viral in New Zealand.
Arizona said it will seek alternative ways for
Polynesian athletes to share their heritage.
BYU and Hawaii also perform a pregame haka.

NYC teacher gets community

service for U.S. Open drone crash
NEW YORK A New York City high
school teacher who accidentally crashed his

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown
said Friday that Daniel Verley has cooperated
fully with investigators. The charges will be
dismissed in six months if he completes his
service and stays out of trouble.
Verley had gone to photograph a park
sculpture on Sept. 3. The drone lost signal
and ended up at the nearby Louis Armstrong
Stadium. It plummeted into an unoccupied
part of the stadium during the next-to-last
game of a second-round match. No one was

THE DAILY JOURNAL

VOLLEYBALL
Continued from page 11
word-of-mouth, which is how she landed the
quartet of Bearcats. Ho was integral to
bringing the nucleus of her former high
school teammates to Foothill. Camila
Mauricio, who is a year older than Ho, initially attended Cuesta College-San Luis
Obispo in 2013. When Ho decided to attend
Foothill, Camila Mauricio transferred, and
the rest of the gang followed.
Ho was a four-year varsity setter for Tigno
at San Mateo. Her senior year was cut short,
however, after she broke her ankle during
pregame warm-ups at Menlo-Atherton in
October 2013.
Now, the sophomore has forced Foothill
to reinvent itself of the court, and for the
better. Ripp said the Owls have always run a
5-1 set. With the emergence of Ho heading
into this season, Ripp decided to change the
structure to a 6-2 dual-setter lineup, with Ho
complimenting sophomore setter Gabriella
Firpo.
Teams usually run 5-1s because 6-2s
dont really work out, Ho said.
Fortunately for Foothill, Firpo and Ho
have bucked convention. Along with boasting the state kills leader in sophomore outside hitter Riana Brennan (5.29 kills per
set), the Owls rank third in the state with
12.12 assists per set. Only College of the
Canyons and Orange Coast College both
from Southern California are better.
Youre talking about different tempos
and people getting used to those tempos,
Ripp said. But weve been doing really
well with it and we hope to keep it going.
The synergy, as Ripp calls it, has much to
do with the bond between Firpo and Ho. The
two met when they arrived at Foothill last
year and, instead of falling into any sort of
competitive rivalry, struck up a fast friendship.
Its funny because were actually best
friends, Ho said. We spend a lot of time
together. Its a pretty strong relation-

FROM

SEPTEMBER 12TH

ship. And we always give

each other good advice.
Last season, Firpo was
a solo act at setter. But
during the offseason, Ho
sharpened her skills as a
member of the upstart
Foothill sand volleyball
team. The Owls added the
program for the 2015
Morgan Ho
spring season and, with
Foothill not having sand
volleyball courts, the
team used West Valley
College-Saratoga.
Ho paired with Camila
Mauricio and the team
was among eight finalists to advance to the
state championships at
Irvine Valley College.
Gabriella Firpo Ho and Camila Mauricio
won their first game to
advance to the state final four, before being
eliminated by Grossmont College-El
Cajon.
It was amazing, Ho said. The caliber is
just so high there.
Now, Ho has upped her game on the traditional volleyball stage as well. At 5-5, she
currently paces the Owls with 7.15 assists
per set, and also plays six rotations. The 53 Firpo plays nearly exclusively on the
back row, averaging 5.58 assists per set.
What makes the duo so dynamic is their
differing personalities. Ho said she considers herself the intense one. Firpo is more
mindful of keeping all of Foothills offensive hitters in the loop.
She will try to please any hitter, Ho
said. So theres not tension between any
hitters. She compliments them really
well.
And with Hos increased playing time this
year gives the Owls a floor general that has
the team playing better than it ever has.
She is a person that has leadership and
makes people better by being on the court,
Ripp said. She is very committed. Shes
good that way.

Afghan Taliban leader claims victory in city

By Mirwais Khan and Lynne ODonnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan The new leader of

the Afghan Taliban boasted in a phone call
with the Associated Press on Friday that the
groups three-day occupation of the northern
city of Kunduz was a symbolic victory
demonstrating the insurgents strength, even
as his fighters were fleeing under fire from
Afghan government troops.
The Taliban takeover of Kunduz was an
embarrassing blow to the government of
President Ashraf Ghani, which was trying to
determine how a force of several hundred
insurgents were able to cause the collapse of
several thousand troops defending the city.
Still, in the end, the Taliban were unable to
hold their ground as the Afghan military rallied in a counterattack, a sign of how the
insurgents lack the manpower or firepower to
carry out much more than short-term sorties
into large urban areas.
The dramatic Taliban assault on Kunduz, a
city of some 300,000 and the boasts of
Mullah Akhtar Mansoor appeared aimed in
part at boosting Mansoors legitimacy as
leader in the face of opponents within the
movement. He was formally elevated to the
post in August, after the Afghan government

revealed that longtime Taliban leader Mullah

Mohammed Omar had died two years earlier.
His appointment caused a large public rift
in the Taliban, whose leadership is said to be
based in neighboring Pakistan, when Mullah
Omars family objected to him as leader.
Though they later rallied behind Mansoor,
some factions are yet to be convinced. The
takeover of Kunduz was reportedly run by
one of Mansoors own appointees, Mullah
Abdul Salam, which could help shore up his
legitimacy.
Mansoor spoke to the AP by telephone from
an unknown location.
The victory is a symbolic victory for us,
he said. Moreover, it is also a historical event
which will be remembered.
People who said we were a small force
with an unchosen leader can now see how
wrong they were about the potential and
strength my people have, he said.
As he spoke, Taliban gunmen were still
leaving Kunduz after what residents said was
a spree of looting government offices and
international charities, and terrorizing citizens
as they went house to house looking for civil
servants and human rights defenders. The
U.N. said around 6,000 people had managed
to flee the city before militants closed off
most exits.

Another view of
vegetarianism
By Karan Nevatia

Villeneuve, Deakins talk

light and dark in Sicario
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO The Prince

of Darkness was the nickname of cinematographer legend Gordon Willis, but Roger
Deakins, too, has shown a
kingly command of shadows.
Recall the sleek Shanghai
skyscraper scene of Skyfall,
the desperate moonlit horse

ride of True Grit, or the

early dawn dog chase of No
Country for Old Men. In
Denis Villeneuves drug war
thriller Sicario, Deakins
adds to his nighttime reel with
a memorable border tunnel
pursuit, seen through night
vision and infrared perspectives.
Sicario, which expanded
nationwide Friday, could be

the film that finally rights one

of cinemas greatest wrongs,
and lands the 66-year-old
British cinematographer his
first Oscar. Deakins has been
nominated 12 times and is
generally acknowledged as
one of the movies greatest
visual minds.
The regular director of photography for the Coen brothSee SICARIO, Page 24

like to think that everyones life is

made up of passing events and people,
yet marked by a few constants family, close friends, etc. For me, one of those
constants is vegetarianism. I was born into a
family of vegetarians,
which was partially a
religious matter, but
mostly based on morals,
perhaps best summarized
by this quote from the
Dalai Lama: Life is as
dear to a mute creature as
it is to man. Just as one
wants happiness and
fears pain, just as one wants to live and not
die, so do other creatures.
My parents dont force me into vegetarianism they always tell me that I can eat
meat if Id like to, but whether its a subconsciously ingrained principle or my own moral
viewpoint, I choose not to eat meat, mainly
for ethical reasons.
Being vegetarian can be hard Im lucky
to be living near San Francisco, the third
most vegetarian city in America. In other
places around the country and world, finding
vegetarian food can be a chore. I clearly
remember one summer when I visited France
with my family we werent able to find
any food until 4 p.m., due to the obtrusive
lack of vegetarian options. In the end we
were reduced to eating soggy French fries
from the nearest McDonalds.
I wont bore you any further with my personal experience with vegetarianism, or even
tell you about the numerous health benefits
or horrendous animal abuse cases that are
usually associated with vegetarianism.
Instead, Id like to propose an argument
you probably havent heard the environment. Lets start with water. With the severe
California drought that has lasted almost four
years, this issue is becoming increasingly relevant. Water is integral to the meat production process, necessary to hydrate the animals, produce the crops needed to feed the
animals, and to process the animals into
supermarket-ready products.

Davis Guggenheim transformed by making Malala documentary

By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Davis Guggenheim has

made movies about world leaders (Barack
Obama, Al Gore) and rock stars (U2, Jimmy
Page, Jack White), but its his new film about
a girl and her dad that affected him most.
Of course, Malala Yousafzai is no ordinary
girl. Guggenheim spent a year and a half with
the Nobel Peace Prize winner and her family
to make the documentary He Named Me
Malala, opening Friday. He came away
deeply moved.
Shes my favorite, the Oscar-winning
documentarian (An Inconvenient Truth)
said. Youre not supposed to have favorites,
but shes incredible. Ive fallen in love with
this family.

more
than

Guggenheim was inspired
by the Yousafzai family
dynamic, how they value
tradition, education and
fun.

tions. Coles been in a wheelchair since he broke his back while

on a motorcycle ride with his wife in 1980.
The accident left him paralyzed, but it hasnt seemed to hold
back the U.S. Navy veteran and former longtime MJB Coffee
employee.
I volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club, I would work at the
city as a volunteer with Public Works making sure we had
access for wheelchairs, Cole said. We dont know what the
needs for a wheelchair are until youre in one. And now that I
was in one, I went to the city and worked with them.
Outside of helping to note sidewalk and curb improvements
within city limits, Cole said he was also active with the San
Mateo County Transit District and advocated for the countys
Redi-Wheels paratransit program.
Now, a fractured rotator cuff preventing him from raising his
arm above his head and constant back pain for which hes
saddened to say the Department of Veterans Affairs wont offer
another surgery have deterred him from being as active of a
volunteer as he was in years past. But it hasnt seemed to weigh
too heavily on his spirits.
I worked with the kids and at City Hall and stuff like that;
and now, I do a lot of reading and drawing because right now,
my back is yelling at me because of the pain, Cole said. You
think of other things to do. Other things. Youre not just sitting
at home watching TV, youre getting around. Ive met hundreds
of people.
One of his favorite pastimes is to visit the VA hospital in Palo
Alto during the winter holidays. There he meets with and draws
portraits of some of the patients, leaving them with a gift they
can send to their families for Christmas, Cole said.
Its just something that I can do to give back to the community. And now, it really has turned out nice because everybody
has heard of me and when I needed them, they came and rallied
around me, Cole said.
Janet Vaughan said she and her family have definitely been
affected by Coles infectious spirit for life. Hes taught her son
how to draw, always seems to have a candy to pass out or a treat
to give their dog and his enthusiastic hello! made the neighborhood seem welcoming, Vaughan said.
Literally, hes one of the first neighbors we met when we
moved in and hes just the most positive, encouraging, friendly
person Ive ever met. Especially for someone in his situation.
He never seems to be down about anything and hes always giving to others, Vaughan said. Hes just an amazing man and I
cant imagine what his medical bills have been throughout his
life. And the reason I started the GoFundMe was we always
wanted to do something to help him in some way.
Appropriately entitled Everybody Loves Ralph! Vaughan
said shes pleased to know others care for him as much as her
family does.
Im not surprised because Ralph knows so many people and
everybody loves him, just like the tagline said, Vaughan said.
But I was very humbled and it makes me feel very proud to live
in this neighborhood.

Avenue. Hola! General Manager

Vanessa Beale, whose parents Richard
and Denise Beale owned the restaurant,
said the family opened their doors Oct.
2, 1990, the exact day theyll be closing
after they opted not to continue when
faced with a large rent increase.
Weve put a lot of our heart and soul
into this business and we tried really
hard. We had a really good time, we
were successful, even through the hardest of times when the economy was
down. We all pulled together as a family
and we pushed through and came out. So
I feel very successful that were leaving
with success and not failure, Beale said.
Carlmont Village Operations Manager
Mike Picone said while its sad to see
established tenants go and the Beales
will be missed, new opportunities are
afoot.
Its good stuff. Its exciting for us, the
city of Belmont and the community. Its
time for change and were happy,
Picone said, adding theyre striving to
preserve the character of the site off
Ralston Avenue. Carlmont Village is all
about keeping the flavor and the
ambiance of a neighborhood shopping
center.
Those previously served by the Tylerfamily run Carlmont Nursery, which
operated a lush corner of the shopping

center marked by a small river for nearly 50 years before the owners opted to
retire, wont have to look much further.
The site will soon be updated and
taken over by the Navarros, a family
with 35 years of experience seeking to
open a second nursery similar to their
Portola Valley-based Ladera Garden and
Gifts.
Its a new challenge for us and also
exciting because we have a couple of
kids that want to get more involved in
the business, said co-owner Juan
Navarro. We really want to bring a
whole bunch of fresh new ideas [to
Carlmont], so I think its going to be
exciting.
Picone said the challenging goal was
to find another nursery that could continue the long-standing service at
Carlmont. Ladera, a more diverse establishment that also sells unique gifts and
outdoor art along with its nursery business, is an ideal tenant to take over,
Picone said.
Our feeling was we really had to find
a nursery that was a good fit. We
were looking for the mom-and-pop that
was going to be on-site management and
run a strong business. And thats what
we found in Ladera, Picone said, noting
they opted not to go with larger chain
stores. We had a really tough time with

my professional opinion, small familyowned nurseries, theyre kind of a dying

competition. The Tylers really did a fantastic job.
While finding a specialty tenant like
Ladera may have had its challenges,
Picone noted theyre closing in on a new
tenant for the neighboring Hola! locale
as well.
While not at liberty to disclose whos
at the top of the list, Picone noted there
were several others also considering the
site that will likely remain a restaurant.

Mad Max takes a bumpy

ride beyond apocalypse
By Lou Kesten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Theres a reason Mad Max is so peevish.

Ever since the original movie blasted out of
Australia in 1979, designers of post-apocalyptic video games like Fallout and
Borderlands have drawn inspiration from
its bleak vision. But all weve seen of Max
himself has been one crummy 1990 Nintendo
game.
Mad Max (Warner Bros., for the
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, $59.95) at long
last puts us behind the wheel with the wandering maniac. Its not quite as satisfying as
this years film reboot, Mad Max: Fury
Road, but it does a good job of re-establishing Max in his proper place in the postnuclear age.
As the game begins, Max is attacked by a
warlord named Scabrous Scrotus and his gang
of War Boys, a fight that leaves the hero
bruised, bloodied and carless. Fortunately,
hes rescued by a hunchbacked mechanic
named Chumbucket who wants to help Max
build a powerful new vehicle: a monstrosity
so overloaded with armor, spikes,
flamethrowers, harpoons and other weaponry
that its worthy of being called his Magnum
Opus. Maxs job is to scavenge the wasteland
in search of enough scrap metal and spare

parts to make that dream come true.

The four areas of Maxs world are each
controlled by a leader who has good reasons
to want Scrotus and his minions dead. Theyll
help the drifter out, but only if hell go out and
hunt down the equipment they need to reinforce their fortresses.
Those open-world missions make up the
bulk of the 40-hour-plus running time. Some
are simple, like tearing down the garish skeletons paying tribute to the warlord. More challenging are attempts to infiltrate and sabotage
his fuel-pumping facilities. And of course,
you can hop in your car and race other road
warriors.
The most exciting missions involve chasing
down convoys, disabling enemy cars one by
one and hijacking the lead vehicle. Heres
where Mad Max feels most like Fury
Road, mixing white-knuckle driving with
explosive mayhem. Throw in blinding sandstorms and you have some of the most
thrilling racing sequences since the Burnout
games of the previous decade.
Unfortunately, Mad Max bogs down with
some of the problems endemic to sprawling,
open-world games. Too many of the missions
feel like busywork, with dozens of sites that
appear worthy of exploration until you discover the only reward is a couple chunks of
metal. The overarching story falls flat, too,
Animals, those 2,500 gallons produce just 1

Every pound of meat produces over 33

transportation emissions and an end to
deforestation, but fail to acknowledge that
the main contributor to global warming is
meat production.

I dont expect that you will become a vegetarian after reading this article, but I hope it
leaves you conscious about the food you are
eating, and I encourage you to begin eating
less meat, if not abandon it completely.

With Mario Maker, Nintendo relinquishes control

By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Nintendo is

giving players the keys to the
Mushroom Kingdom.
After three decades of releasing
Super Mario video games, the
notoriously protective Japanese
gaming giant is inviting players to
create their own levels in the bouncy plumbers homeland with the
user-generated Wii U title Super
Mario Maker, out Friday.
I thought after 30 years, it would
be perfect to reward creative players with the ability to build their
own levels and be able to engage in
the type of communication where a
player and a creator can share the
results, said Super Mario creator
Shigeru Miyamoto during an interview translated by Nintendo of
America product marketing manager Bill Trinen.
Similar to LittleBigPlanet,
Minecraft and Disney Infinity,
Mario Maker serves as a robust
construction kit allowing players to
virtually place such items as bashable bricks, floating coins and
deadly Koopas in the style of past
games in the franchise: Super
Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.
3, Super Mario World and New
Super Mario Bros. The levels can
then be uploaded and played by
others online. Technologically, its
a huge leap from the original
Super Mario game released in
1985.
We were only able to have five
Koopas on screen at one time, said

Miyamoto. As the technology has
evolved, weve gone on to having
more enemies, 3-D technology and
analog sticks. Ive been fortunate
that at every phase of new technology, weve been able to introduce a
new Mario game that leverages it
without having to think too deeply
about a new story. Its kept Mario
fresh and exciting for people
throughout the 30 years of the
series.
Miyamoto said the developers

focused on creating a game that

would make building a Mario
adventure a comprehensive but
accessible experience. For instance,
if players wish to share creations
online, they must first be able to
play through their level themselves
no matter how many Bowsers or
Bullet Bills stand in the way.
Mario Marker marks a decidedly progressive approach for the
Kyoto, Japan-based company thats
been strongly particular about its

intellectual properties. By giving

up control of Mario to players, does
that mean the princess-rescuing
plumber will finally go into retirement?
I think this might actually be
motivation for us, said Nintendo
senior producer Katsuya Eguchi.
Those of us in the industry will be
like, Really? Youre going to
throw that down? Well be jealous,
and then well show them how to
really do it.

For the creator of Super Mario,

the characters evolution from 8-bit
protagonist to gaming icon over the
past 30 years is exactly as he
intended.
I really wanted him to make my
Mickey Mouse, said Miyamoto. I
wanted to use him in all the different games I made. My hope was
that 10 or 20 years down the road,
he would be the iconic character of
video games. I feel tremendously
fortunate thats what came to pass.

Its the only movie Ive made with two cinematographers. Because I always had you in
my mind saying, Dont put the camera there.
Dont do that. Move faster.
Deakins: Nag, nag, nag.
Villeneuve: People are always asking what
is your biggest influence from other filmmakers? Its always Roger for me. Honestly, its a
massive privilege for me. Im missing you a
lot, sir.
Deakins: Im missing you, too. We did hit it
off straight away, didnt we? The first time we
met we seemed to hit it off. Were both very
honest with each other, which is good. Denis
has got such a sensitive take on the script, on
the subject, such a personal point of view.

AP: What was your

approach to shooting in
the desert?
Villeneuve: There was
the idea to embrace
nature, to inspire ourselves from the desert, to
work with the brutality of
the sun. We were working
with a tight schedule and
Denis
I was aware Roger would
Villeneuve
have to shoot sometimes
in bad light, not having the luxury to shoot in
perfect light. I remember saying should we
try to embrace that, to have actors with shadows, to have silhouettes in the sun. There was
a photographer that Roger loves, Alex Webb,
that was an inspiration in the color of
Mexico.
Deakins: That script on Prisoners, it
could have become so melodramatic. But it
was a matter of stripping it down and getting
to the sense of it. To me, the whole film ends
up being about: How far do you go? What is
right? To me, Sicario relates to so much
more than just drug trafficking. It relates to
Guantanamo Bay and the whole bit.
Villeneuve: We really insisted, Roger and I,

to shoot in Mexico. We didnt want to recreate

the Mexican culture in the United States
we thought that would be impossible. Luckily,
we were able through time and a lot of meetings to convince them.
Deakins: A LOT of meetings.
Villeneuve: I remember Roger (slams hand
on the table): What are we talking about?
Were talking about Mexico. Lets shoot in
Mexico!
Deakins: You can talk so much, but in the
end, you have to say, No, theres nothing else
we can do. Its in the script.
AP: Was it challenging to shoot in lowlight situations like the tunnel scene?
Deakins: Nightmare to shoot. Endless days
in prep, endless nights staying awake wondering: How the hell am I going to do that?
Thats part of the fun, isnt it? I love the challenge. What I love about filmmaking, theres
the intellectual challenge, but theres also a
technical challenge which is much more
methodical, seeing how youre going to do
something. Nuts and bolts. I love the combination of those things. Ones artsy-fartsy, the
others down to Earth.
Villeneuve: You need to bring some challenge to the man! Otherwise he gets bored.

daughters gender didnt limit her potential.

I have two daughters, and my daughters
are mysterious to me, Guggenheim said. I
want to know what he did, what she did in
that relationship. I want to unpack that relationship somehow.
He learned about Malalas family history of
public speaking: Her grandfather was a cleric
and her dad has long defended education and
liberty in the face of religious extremism. The
filmmaker learned about the Pashtun heroine
shes is named for: Malalai of Maiwand, a
brave young woman who rallied Afghani

troops against the British Army in 1880 and

was killed for being so outspoken.
He followed Malala and her father as they
traveled to Kenya, Nigeria and Jordan to support childrens rights. Guggenheim also
filmed Malala at home, where she does her
homework, teases her brothers and blushes as
she looks at pictures of Roger Federer online.
But even after hundreds of interviews and
countless hours spent with the Yousafzai family, Guggenheim says 18-year-old Malala is
still a complete mystery to me.
Clearly, shes a combination of all these

wonderful things: her fathers dream for her,

her mothers intense spirituality, he said.
But also (its) just who she is.
A world icon and a regular teenage girl,
shes Guggenheims favorite.
This movie has been my favorite movie
because it really has changed my life. It
blows me away, he said. I want what they
have. I want to be the father that Zia is. I want
my daughters to feel the love that he gives
Malala. I want them to feel that love and
respect.

Time of progress,
dramatizing gay
rights landmark
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Freeheld, the story of a landmark victory in an ongoing battle for LGBT rights, is part celebration, part inspiration.

Moving performances bring

an authenticity to Freeheld
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Few actresses bring the simple

authenticity to the screen that Julianne
Moore does; its virtually impossible to
imagine this actress sounding a false
note. And so its hardly a surprise that
she is deeply convincing indeed,
heartbreaking at times in the reallife role of Laurel Hester, a dying
woman who fought to her last breath to
give her domestic partner rights to her
pension benefits.
If Freeheld, directed by Peter
Sollett, packs much less of a punch than
did Moores shattering Alzheimers
drama Still Alice, which justly won
her an Oscar, its not because of the acting Ellen Page and Michael Shannon
also turn in admirable work but
because the film (and the script by Ron
Nyswaner) doesnt give these characters, or their relationships, enough
detail and depth to really bring us in
below the surface. Instead, its a wellmade but matter-of-fact account of a
gripping story, one made more poignant
by the advances made in gay rights in
the decade since.
We begin in 2002. Laurel Hester is a
devoted police detective in Ocean
County, New Jersey, with two decades
of work under her belt and the goal of
becoming the first female lieutenant on
her force. With this goal in mind, she
hides her sexuality from colleagues,

even from her longtime partner, Dane

(Shannon). Indeed, she goes all the way
to Pennsylvania to find a date. At a volleyball game, she meets Stacie Andree
(Page), a much younger auto mechanic.
A year later, theyre an established
couple, renovating a home and becoming official domestic partners. But then
tragedy hits. A persistent pain in
Laurels torso turns out to be advanced
lung cancer. Stacie vows the couple
will beat the disease. Laurel, never one
for sugarcoating a situation, knows how
bleak the odds are.
The movie then takes an abrupt turn
into a legal drama. Laurel requests in
writing that her pension benefits be
transferred to Stacie, who otherwise
will have to leave their beloved home,
upon her death. The decision falls to the
Ocean County freeholders, a body of
five Republicans, and they turn her
down, despite the existence of a state
Domestic Partnership Act. One of the
freeholders worries: People could just
make anybody their partners. Only
one member is sympathetic to Laurels
cause, but joins in a unanimous vote.
The fight escalates when Laurel
appears at a freeholders meeting, but
the decision remains the same. The case
gets into the media, though, and pressure grows. Meanwhile, we watch
Laurel endure the ravages of chemo,
see her get violently ill, see her hair fall
out. Weve watched this sad trajectory
in countless movies, but Moore has a

way of making most anything seem like

we havent quite seen it before.
The film changes tone yet again when
Steve Carell enters the picture as
Steven Goldstein, a larger-than-life
activist who urges Laurel to broaden
her fight to include gay marriage.
Laurel, ever the pragmatist, says thats
not her battle. Carell makes Goldstein
brash, passionate and broadly funny,
and though his entertaining characterization might well be accurate (the real
Goldstein was sitting in front of me at
my screening, and seemed to greatly
enjoy the portrayal), the sudden influx
of humor is somewhat jarring, given the
tone until then.
The final scenes are both cathartic
and, in the case of Laurels final
moments, hard to watch Moore is
frail, white and completely bald. Its
impressive to see the photos of real-life
scenes at the end, and realize how carefully the filmmakers recreated the story.
And its hard not to get swept up in
the moment when an onscreen epilogue
reminds us that in June, the Supreme
Court ruled that same-sex couples can
marry. Which makes Freeheld an
important lesson in how quickly times,
and attitudes, can change.
Freeheld, a Lionsgate release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for some thematic elements, language and sexuality. Running time: 103 minutes. Two
and a half stars out of four.

TORONTO Freeheld, a gay-rights drama about the

turning tide of social justice, was shaped by the same currents
of change it depicts.
In the course of making the true story about New Jersey
police detective Laurel Hesters fight for pension benefits for
her domestic partner, Stacie Andree, the Supreme Court ruled
in favor of marriage equality and one of the films stars, Ellen
Page, came out.
Freeheld, the story of a landmark victory in an ongoing
battle for LGBT rights, is part celebration, part inspiration.
Whenever you have these really amazing moments of
progress or advancement, there can be a backlash to that, says
Page, also a producer of the film. Its nice to have this film
now to celebrate the joy and celebrate the progress, mixed with,
of course, the backlash that comes from people that struggle
with the LGBT community.
Freeheld, which opens in theaters Friday, dramatizes the
events of Cynthia Wades 2007 Oscar-winning short documentary of the same name. Hester, a 23-year police veteran played
by Julianne Moore, was dying of terminal lung cancer when
she sought to have her pension transferred on her death to
Andree (Page), as would be the case for a married couple. A
panel of county legislators freeholders initially refused,
and the case became a national story.
The film, directed by Peter Sollett and penned by Ron
Nyswaner, is about the reluctant entry of Hester and Andree
both humble, private people into the public struggle of the
gay rights movement. It occurred simultaneously with the rapid
onset of Hesters cancer; she died in 2006 at age 49, shortly
after the freeholders reversed their ruling.
It is so personal, so, so incredibly personal, says Moore.
We were really entrusted with an awful lot.
Such are the terms all involved with Freeheld use to
describe an unusually emotional movie experience. Andree was
involved with the film, meeting with Moore and Page, visiting
the set and attending the films moving premiere at the Toronto
International Film Festival.
It was also especially personal for Page, who joined the project several years before she, herself, came out in 2014. The 28year-old actress credits Freeheld with helping her in her own
struggles with being closeted.
Laurel and Stacie are really incredible people who did
something really extraordinary that created a profound ripple
effect for change, says Page. To be part of a story thats
inspiring and also personally meaningful, of course, is a pretty
wonderful opportunity to have.
Moore said witnessing Pages experience gave her a new perspective.
Here was this young person whos been dealing with this
tremendously probably isolating experience, and how liberating it was for her to finally be playing someone in a same-sex
relationship, Moore says. Ive had plenty of friends who have
gone through it, but it was personalized for me. I was touched
by her and her vulnerability and her openness.
Sollett, the director of Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist,
went into production on Freeheld knowing the Supreme
Court would likely take up the issue of gay marriage, with different results yielding much different climates for the movies
release.
If they rule against it, we thought, well have a film that
reminds people why its so important to continue to fight for
this cause, says Sollett. And if they rule for it, wed have a
film that reminded people how critical it is to defend that cause
and push even harder and further for equal rights.
Freeheld also arrives at a time when progress is being
measured on screen in Hollywoods embrace of LGBT stories.

ECONOMY

Calendar

Continued from page 1

growing far more slowly. And emerging
economies, from Brazil to Turkey, are
straining to grow at all.
A result is that economists now expect
the Federal Reserve to delay a longawaited increase in interest rates, possibly until next year.
Employers added just 142,000 jobs in
September, and the government sharply
lowered its estimate of gains in July and
August by a combined 59,000. Monthly
job growth averaged a mediocre 167,000
in the July-September quarter, down
from 231,000 in the April-June period.
The unemployment rate remained a
low 5.1 percent, but only because many
Americans have stopped looking for
work and are no longer counted as
unemployed. The proportion of adults
who either have a job or are looking for
one is at a 38-year low.
U.S. stock prices have tumbled as
fears of a global slowdown have intensified. Volatile financial markets can make
businesses too anxious to expand and
hire.
Were back to a period of what I call
corporate caution, says Nariman
Behravesh, chief economist at IHS. Its
wait and see. If things stabilize, we
could see hiring come back.
On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial
average fell about 200 points soon after
the jobs report was issued before recovering to close up 200. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note dipped below 2
percent, a sign that investors anticipate
sluggish growth and low inflation.
Over the past year, the dollar has risen
about 15 percent against overseas currencies, making U.S. goods costlier
overseas and imports cheaper. Declining
exports have led many analysts to slash
their growth estimates for the JulySeptember quarter to a subpar 1.5 percent annual rate or less.
Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar
has said it will cut up to 5,000 jobs by
years end. Lower oil prices have hurt its
sales of drilling equipment, and overseas
sales of its construction machines have
fallen.
Hershey has said it will shed 300 positions in the U.S. this year after sales in
China plunged.

An advertisement for job openings is seen outside a Burger King franchise in Port
Washington, N.Y.
A host of other companies have
announced layoffs in recent weeks,
including Wal-Mart, the worlds largest
retailer; ConAgra Foods, which makes
Chef Boyardee and Slim Jims; and
Chesapeake Energy, which has been hurt
by lower oil prices.
The tepid pace of hiring clouds the
picture for the Fed, which is considering
whether to raise rates from record lows.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said that the
job market is nearly healed. But shes
also said she wants to see further hiring
and pay growth for reassurance that
inflation is edging toward the Feds 2
percent target. Average hourly wages are
up just 2.2 percent in the past year far
below the 3.5 percent or 4 percent considered healthy.
Many economists now expect no rate
hike until 2016, though some still think
the Fed will begin raising rates in
December a step that would eventually send consumer and business borrowing rates up.
Some analysts, like Michael Gapen,
chief U.S. economist at Barclays
Capital, say they remain confident in the
economys resilience. Gapen notes that
the threats from overseas resemble earlier periods in the economic recovery
when anxiety about Europes financial
crisis slowed hiring and roiled U.S. markets.
He says he thinks underlying drivers
of the U.S. economy are healthier now

and can power through overseas pressures.

The consumer is in much better
shape, and the housing sector is in better
shape, Gapen said. This is something
that is more of a soft patch, rather than
a meaningful recession risk.
Some Americans are still willing to
splurge out on pricey goods: Auto sales
surged to the highest level in a decade
last month, and sales of new homes
reached a seven-year high in August.
The disparity between overseas weakness and solid consumer spending was
evident in the September jobs report:
Manufacturers shed jobs for a second
straight month while retailers, restaurants and hotels all added positions.
Central banks in China and Europe
could take further steps this year to stimulate growth. And most expect growth in
Germany to pick up next year. That
could lessen the threat from overseas.
Still, the sluggish growth of the U.S.
labor force the number of people
either working or looking for work
poses a headwind for job growth. The
aging population means more baby
boomers are retiring.
The decline in the proportion of
Americans in the workforce also signals
that many remain discouraged about
their job prospects. Modest growth and
steady, if unspectacular, hiring havent
encouraged lots more people to look for
work.

The latter issue came to a head when
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,

perceived mismanagement of finding

school.
Rogers admitted initially he was perplexed and caught off guard by Hills
comments when they were made in

their lesson and made a concerted effort
to be more communicative, he said.
He said the district has since hired a
communications director to help
address public outreach concerns.
Friedman concurred, and said the

an ongoing focus for officials, based on
the hard lessons learned in the past.
Weve got to keep trying and learn

Syria: Airstrikes useless unless coordinated

By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS Syrias

foreign minister said Friday that
airstrikes against the Islamic State
group are useless unless they are
coordinated with the Syrian government, as the international community scrambled to respond to Russias
airstrikes in his country.
Addressing the summit of world
leaders at the U.N. General
Assembly, Walid al-Moallem said
Russias decision to start bombing
targets was based on the Assad governments request and is effective
because it supports Syrias efforts to
combat terrorism.
Terrorism cannot be fought only
from the air, and all of the previous
operations to combat it have only
served its spread and outbreak, alMoallem said.
Airstrikes are useless unless they
are conducted in cooperation with
the Syrian army, the only force in
Syria that is combating terrorism,
he added.
Moscow, a longtime ally of
Syrian President Bashar Assad,
began launching airstrikes in Syria
this week, adding another layer of
tension over the war. The Syrian
army had already been joined by
fighters from Lebanons Shiite
Hezbollah group and other Iranianbacked militias.
The United States, which opposes
Assad and is firing its own airstrikes
against extremists in Syria, has
questioned Moscows assertion that
it is targeting Islamic terrorists
there, saying the areas hit close to
Homs are strongholds of the mainstream Syrian opposition to Assad.
Allies in the U.S.-led coalition have
called on Russia to cease attacks on
opposition forces and to focus on
fighting Islamic State militants.
He pledged to continue the war
against terror while also committing to a political track to end
Syrias civil war, which is now in its
fifth year and has killed more than a
quarter of a million people. An estimated 4 million people have fled.
Despite severe losses on the battlefield and his countrys growing
reliance on Iran and Russia, alMoallem also said that his countrys
army is capable of cleansing the
country of those terrorists and
warned about the threat of a growing caliphate state, which as you

Obama: Putin wrong on Syria but no proxy war

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Friday vehemently rejected Russias military
actions in Syria as self-defeating
and dismissed the idea that
Moscow was strengthening its
hand in the region. He vowed not
to let the conflict become a U.S.Russia proxy war.
At a White House news conference, Obama pledged to stay the
course with his strategy of supporting moderate rebels who oppose
Syrian President Bashar Assad, but
he dodged questions about whether
the U.S. would protect them if they
came under Russian attack.
Russias dramatic entry into the
Syrian civil war, after a year of
airstrikes by the U.S. and its coalition partners, has raised the
specter of dangerous confronta-

tions in the
skies
over
Syria. And it
prompted
a
question at the
news conference as to
whether Putin
was outfoxing
Barack Obama the U.S. at a
time when the
American-led military campaign
in Syria has failed to weaken the
Islamic State.
Obama dismissed that idea with
an expression of disdain.
This is not a smart strategic
move on Russias part, he said,
referring to Putins decision to
double down on his support for
Assad by stationing warplanes, air
defenses, tanks and troops in
Syria. Moscow says it is targeting
Islamic State forces and fighting
terrorism, but U.S. leaders are
skeptical of that and Obama said

the Russian president has overplayed his hand.

Its only strengthening ISIL,
and thats not good for anybody,
Obama contended. He said he
hoped Putin would come to realize
that allying Russia with Iran to try
to keep Assad in power is just
going to get them stuck in a quagmire, and it wont work. And they
will be there for a while if they
dont take a different course.
Obama said Putin has stepped
deeper into a conflict that cannot
be solved by military power alone,
and that his approach is misguided
in not distinguishing between
Syrian rebels who want Assad
ousted and those who are terrorists.
From their perspective theyre
all terrorists, and thats a recipe for
disaster, Obama said in his most
extensive comments on the topic
since Russia began its airstrikes on
Monday.

know, will not be limited to Syria or

Iraq.
Al-Moallem announced Syria
will participate in U.N.-led working

groups toward a third round of

peace talks in Geneva.
The U.N.s envoy to Syria,
Staffan de Mistura, has proposed

four working groups on Syria as

part of his latest efforts to bring
Syrias parties together toward a
long-elusive agreement to end the

By Lolita C. Baldor
and Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

conflict. The groups are to hold

simultaneous discussions among
Syrian parties on issues such as protection of civilians, combatting terrorism and political issues.
Al-Moallem stressed that the
working groups proposed de
Mistura are non-binding. The foreign minister described them as
brainstorming sessions meant to
prepare for new peace talks sometime in the future.
But he added: How can we ask
the Syrian people to head to the ballot box while they are not safe in the
streets?
He also said no one should think
that ... they will achieve at the negotiating table what they failed to
achieve on the ground.
A U.N. spokeswoman said no
date has been set yet for the beginning of the working groups sessions.
Asked about al-Moallems comments about the discussions being
non-binding, the spokesman for the
U.N. secretary-general, Stephane
Dujarric, told reporters that I
wouldnt interpret that as taking it
not seriously.
World leaders also tried to
address the crises in Libya and
Yemen with high-level meetings on
Friday.
U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry and U.N. Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon urged Libyas two
rival governments to come together
and make the final step toward a
peace deal.
But talks between representatives of the two governments on
the sidelines of the U.N. gathering
of world leaders have not yet
resulted in a signed agreement,
even as a U.N.-set deadline of Oct.
2 approaches.
Ban said a final draft is in the two
sides hands, and the time for
reopening the text has passed. He
said the U.N. envoy for Libya,
Bernardino Leon, has assured him
that the parties remain committed
and will not go back on their word.
Kerry told the meeting that he
hopes the process can be completed in a very small number of days,
and he urged the two sides to agree
on who will lead a national unity
government.
The oil-rich north African country
has slid into turmoil since the 2011
overthrow and killing of longtime
dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Joaquin batters Bahamas; fate of cargo ship uncertain

By Ben Fox
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ELEUTHERA, Bahamas
Hurricane Joaquin destroyed houses, uprooted trees and unleashed
heavy flooding as it hurled torrents
of rain across the Bahamas on
Friday, and the U.S. Coast Guard
said it was trying to reach a disabled
cargo ship with 33 people aboard
that lost contact during the storm.
The Coast Guard said the 735foot (224-meter) ship named El
Faro had taken on water and was
listing at 15 degrees near Crooked
Island, one of the islands most battered by the hurricane. Officials said
the crew includes 28 U. S. citizens
and five from Poland.
This vessel is disabled basically
right near the eye of Hurricane
Joaquin, said Capt. Mark Fedor.
Were going to go and try and save
lives. Were going to push it to the
operational limits as far as we can.
Officials said they hadnt been
able to re-establish communication
with the vessel, which was traveling

The U.S. Coast Guard said on Friday it was searching for the 735-foot cargo ship with 33 crew members aboard
reported to be caught in the powerful Hurricane Joaquin near Crooked Island, Bahamas.
from Jacksonville, Florida, to San
Juan, Puerto Rico. The Coast Guard
said the crew earlier reported it had
been able to contain the flooding.
Fedor said there were 20- to 30foot (up to 9-meter) waves in the
area, and that heavy winds could
have destroyed the ships communications equipment. The ship went
missing when Joaquin was a

Category 4 storm. The hurricane has

since lost strength and become a
Category 3 storm.
On Friday evening, Coast Guard
spokesman Petty Officer Jon-Paul
Rios said the planes and helicopters
involved in the search had returned
to base because of darkness and
would resume the search for the
ship at first light.

Messages left with Florida-based

TOTE Services, the ships owner,
were not returned. The company
said in a brief statement that it was
working with the U.S. Coast Guard
and trying to establish communication with the ship.
The U.S. National Hurricane
Center said Joaquins threat to the
U.S. East Coast was fading as new

forecasts showed it likely to curve

out into the Atlantic while moving
north and weakening in coming
days.
But the slow-moving storm continued to batter parts of the
Bahamas, cutting communication to
several islands, most of them lightly
populated. There had been no
reports of fatalities or injuries, said
Capt. Stephen Russell, the director
of
the
Bahamas
National
Emergency Management Agency.
Officials were investigating
reports of shelters being damaged
and flooded, as well as two boats
with a total of five people that
remained missing.
About 85 percent of homes in one
settlement of a couple dozen houses
on Crooked Island were destroyed,
said Marvin Hanna, an Acklins representative. He said he has had no
communication with Acklins since
late Thursday morning.
At that time, vehicles were floating around and the water level was
up to the windows of some homes,
he said.
