Choppy path to road upgrade

Belmont denied county TA grant, staged implementation plan in works
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After extensive study and outlining nearly $8 million in improvements aimed at improving mobility along Belmonts busy Ralston
Avenue, city officials are striving
to outline an implementation plan
after their grant application for
county highway funds was denied.
The city sought a share of the
San Mateo County Transportation

Authoritys recent allocation of

$108 million in Measure A funds,
the long-standing voter-approved
half-cent sales tax.
Although the award would have
funded a range of improvements
from new traffic lights to
improved sidewalks, its grant
application was dismissed earlier
this month as the TA turned its
attention to projects more directly
related to Highway 101.
Now, staff is continuing to work

Charles Stone

on preparing a
c a p i t a l
i mp ro v emen t
and implementation
plan,
enabling them
to potentially
do the work
piecemeal,
while considering other fund-

ing sources.
While Im disappointed that

Belmont didnt receive the grant,

Im very pleased that staff and the
council created a plan that can be
done
in
sections,
said
Councilman Charles Stone. That
enables us to continue to apply for
smaller grants that can fund the
work in sections.
The diverse east-west road connecting State Route 92 to
Highway 101 carries nearly
40,000 vehicles a day and numerous pedestrians as well as bicy-

clists who traverse the busy street

lined with schools, businesses
and churches.
Because there are various users
and projects, its important to outline an implementation plan and
direct attention to ways to fund
specific improvements, said
Public Works Director Afshin
Oskoui.

TITANS OF MAVERICKS

Fewer landlords in county

accepting Section 8 tenants
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

NICK ROSE/DAILY JOURNAL

Some of the world's top surfers descended on Pillar Point Harbor on the coast Saturday for the opening
ceremony of the annual Titans of Mavericks surf contest.

Mary Pritchett has lived in her

San Mateo home for 15 years but
its new owner wants her out
because she pays a portion of her
rent with a Section 8 housing
voucher.
She was asked to leave by Sept.
30 in a letter sent to her by attorney Donald Kirby on behalf of the
new owner Juei Kao. Kirby did not
respond to a request for comment.
But Pritchett cannot find another landlord to accept her voucher
and fears she will end up on the
streets.
Pritchett, 65, is on permanent
disability and will not be returning to the workforce.
In the meantime, she has sought

the help of the

Legal
Aid
Society of San
Mateo County
to help her
fight off the
eviction
as
long as possible until she
Mary Pritchett finds a new
place to live.
She lives alone now in a twobedroom
home
in
the
Beresford/Hillsdale
neighborhood.
The home sold this summer and
the new owner immediately asked
the county Housing Authority
whether it would allow a rent
increase on the Darcy Avenue

Antibiotics law, consumers shift livestock industry

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In the wake of a local legislators years-long efforts to curb the

proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria, California has
become the first in the nation to
enact strict regulations over how
its livestock industry administers
antibiotics.
With the public tuning in and

becoming more
informed
on
how their food
is
produced,
consumers are
also causing a
shift in the
market as several major fast

chains

serving antibiotic-fed meat.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, spent two sessions pushing bills to curb the overuse of
antibiotics in California-raised
livestock. For years, several
interest groups and even Gov.
Jerry Brown called for Hill to
strengthen his proposal before

theyd support his plan.

A sticking point related to
whether antibiotics can be used to
treat animals that arent sick
ultimately, changing the bill to
prevent regular and widespread use
on healthy animals pushed it into
law.
As Brown signed Hills legislation into law this month,

California will be the first in the

nation to require strict veterinary
oversight of antibiotics in livestock and forbid the pharmaceuticals from being used to promote
growth beginning January 2018.
With 70 percent of the nations
supply used on animals and 97
percent of that obtained over the

Pope at family synods end:
Today is a time of mercy
VATICAN CITY Declaring that
today is a time of mercy, Pope
Francis on Sunday closed a historic
meeting of bishops that approved an
important new direction in welcoming
divorced and civilly remarried
Catholics into the church.
The synods endorsement, by a single vote, of Francis call for a more
merciful, less judgmental church was a
clear victory for Francis and the progressive prelates who have been seeking wiggle room in church teaching to
allow remarried Catholics to receive
Communion. Conservatives had
objected, citing church doctrine, but
they couldnt muster the votes needed
to block passage of the final document.
With the badly divided church hierarchy before him in St. Peters Basilica,
Francis took veiled aim Sunday at
those in the church who place more
importance on doctrine and law than
on Gods mercy and forgiveness.
He warned them of the risk of
becoming habitually unmoved by
grace, of turning a cold shoulder to
Gods most wounded children and of a
spiritual illusion that doesnt let
them see the reality of their flock and

citing the role of discernment and

direction.
The key paragraph says a case-bycase approach is necessary when dealing with remarriage since not everyone bears the same responsibility for
the failure of the first marriage. It
passed with only one vote more than
the two-thirds majority necessary.
Its passage will give Francis the
room to maneuver if he wants to push
the issue further in a future document of
his own. German Cardinal Reinhard
Marx, who spearheaded the German
theological initiative that was decisive to getting the majority, said he
hoped that Francis would issue it during his upcoming Jubilee Year of
Mercy, which starts Dec. 8.
British Cardinal Vincent Nichols
said the synod marked a decisive
moment for the church in reasserting
the role that pastoral practice, more
than doctrine, must play in accompanying the faithful.
Not everything is a matter of doctrine. Not everything is decided by
doctrinal disputes, Nichols told
reporters Sunday. There is a richness
of the tradition of the church and its
pastoral practice, which we have to
recover and make central again.

Peninsula ghosts: Some old, some new

alloweens near, so its a good time

for this breaking news: San Mateo
County may have a new ghost. The
hint of a haunting at the Fox Theatre would
put the Redwood City building on a short
list of sites that includes the Kohl Mansion
in Burlingame, the Moss Beach Distillery
in Half Moon Bay and a convent that was
demolished decades ago.
I certainly have heard stories of an older
woman seen walking across our stage, said
Ernie Schmidt, spokesman for the Fox
where an urn containing human ashes was
discovered in an attic. Some would say it
was the lady whose urn was found, but,
funny thing, since returning her to her family we have not heard of any sightings
yet.
The urn discovered 10 years ago was
shown earlier this year to a group of middle
school children touring the movie house on
Broadway. The kids looked on wide-eyed as
Schmidt recounted some of the sporadic
sightings of something strange.

Beach restaurant. The coastal ghost has
been featured on the television shows
Unsolved Mysteries and Ghost Hunters.
According the Distillerys website, the
legend goes back more than 70 years and
involved an adulterous affair between the
beautiful lady in blue and a handsome dangerous man. The two were attacked while
walking along the beach below the restaurant. The woman was killed but the man
survived.
It is here at the Distillery you will find

The Kohl Mansion, which has been home
to Mercy High School in Burlingame since
1931, hosts one of the Peninsulas most
enduring legends, that of the ghost of
Freddie Kohl, who committed suicide in
1921. The Sisters of Mercy bought the redbrick, 63-room Tudor mansion in 1924 and
used it as a convent until 1931 when it

with hoods on, besieged the convent by
shouting, honking car horns and, according
to some reports, burning a cross on a hill.
It was about this time that some novice
nuns started to report a mysterious presence, including loud, disembodied footsteps. In 1927, the nuns conducted a ritual
blessing that seemed to work.

Another nuns story

Burlingame isnt the only Peninsula city
with a ghost story involving a mansion
converted to a convent. Redwood City has a
similar story. In 1921 (Yes, 1921, the year
of Kohls suicide) the Sisters of Notre Dame
took over the former mansion of lumber
baron Charles Hanson, a huge structure at
Brewster Avenue and Arguello Street that
has since been demolished and replaced by
an office building. Im not going to be flip
or overly skeptical about this yarn because
the nuns who reported the incident seemed
so sincere.
Sister Ann Maureen King swore the place

was haunted, according to a paper she wrote

that is in the orders archives.
She said at least six sisters, including herself, were all in different areas of the mansion in 1932 when each was called but
found herself unable to move. Someone
seemed to be blocking her way.
The call was a loud sister, sister, she
continued. No one was there. The paralysis
lasted but a few minutes. Naturally, we were
all frightened. The nuns said some prayers
and went about their work, but the haunting went on.
The nuns continued to be called.
Sometimes it was a prolonged sighing
sister, wrote Sister Ann Maureen. One
night we were in bed and the call came along
with three knocks, the drapes over the large
mirror fell to the floor, but, again, no one
was seen, she said in recounting the most
dramatic and almost last of the incidents.
In the final event, the nun was called by her
full name.
We did not hear or experience any further
callings, Sister Ann Maureen concluded.
Sister Ann Maureen, the youngest sister in
the convent at the time of the visits, died
in 2009 after a 50-year teaching career.
Despite the experience at the convent, she
described her life as a long blessed journey. She once said she felt that whatever or
whoever was involved needed our help.
Perhaps Freddie Kohl got his convents
confused.

Airbnb battles hostile ballot measure in San Francisco

By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Travelers

worldwide may love using Airbnb
to book vacation stays, but the
company that revolutionized
home-sharing faces a hostile ballot measure in the city where it
was founded.
Proposition F on the Nov. 3 San
Francisco ballot would limit
short-term rentals to 75 days a
year and require hosting companies such as Airbnb to yank list-

ings that violate the limit.

The city would be required to
notify neighbors when a person
registers to host. The measure
would enable pricey lawsuit damages against violators, including
the hosting platform. Current city
law limits un-hosted rentals to 90
days. There are no limits on hosted rentals.
Airbnb, by far the largest homeshare platform in the city and in
the world, has donated $8 million
and counting to defeat the proposed ordinance. It has saturated

television with ads, even trying to

sway voters last week with a
botched billboard campaign
reminding people of the hotel
taxes its service collects.
Backers of the measure say the
demand for vacation stays is sucking up scarce housing, adding to
the citys unaffordability and
destroying what makes San
Francisco neighborhoods unique.
Landlords, they say, have a
financial incentive to rent shortterm rather than take on long-term
tenants, especially in popular

neighborhoods such as the

Mission District. Proponents
have reported raising $350,000.
Airbnb and other opponents
argue the measure will pit neighbor against neighbor and drive out
residents who can stay in the city
only by sharing their homes
short-term. Ads feature warm shots
of happy families supposedly
home-sharers as well as cartoons of an elderly man snooping
on his neighbors and calling a
snitch hotline.
Both sides say they are fighting

Hotly contested race for Hillsborough school board

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Slate of three incumbents vie for re-election against challengers

In a district flush with assets and

rich with high-achieving students, finding how to push the
boundaries of learning for all children in the Hillsborough City
Elementary School District is a
primary concern for candidates
running for the Board of Trustees.
Incumbents Margi Power and
Greg Dannis are seeking re-election to a four-year term, while
being opposed by business consultant Andrew Wahl and physician Pearl Wu. Appointed incumbent Gilbert Wai is being opposed
by business owner Richard Lim in
pursuit of a two-year term.
Hillsborough students earned
the highest scores in San Mateo
County on the most recent round
of Smarter Balanced test scores, as
roughly 85 percent of students met
or exceeded their grade level
expectations in mathematics and
language arts. Those marks exceed
the county average by between
roughly 30 to 40 percent.
Power said she was proud of the
high standard of achievement students set on the first official year
of the Smarter Balanced tests,
which gauge how well lessons are
being retained under the recently
implemented Common Core state
standards.
We are ahead of the game, she
said. Our test scores were excellent this past spring. We are doing
a good job, which is reassuring.
Wai agreed, but noted the first
year of Smarter Balanced testing
scores should be considered in the
context of the districts long-term
goals.

It is the
baseline, but
we have done
well, he said.
Offi ci al s
should

down into the
data of each students

to see how Greg Dannis

district,
said
Wai.

they could do
better, and how
we can help

dents, he said.
We want to
ensure each student
has
a
chance for a

Dannis said
despite

achievement of
most students
recently, further challenges may
lie ahead as the district moves forward with implementation of
Common Core.
Under the emphasis of the
blended learning model promoted
through the new state standards,
lessons are taught across a variety
of disciplines, which may present
challenges for some teachers, he
said.

students to excel.
Common Core is not going to
get us to the same position that
the school system has been at in
the past, and is in at the current
moment, he said.
The incumbents in the race are
running for re-election as a slate
against the challengers. Wu and
Lim declined requests to be interviewed.
As the district continues to
search for opportunities to push
the boundaries of student achievement, Power said officials are considering innovative means of
grouping students, such as by
skill rather than grade level.
She said examining the possibility of such an unconventional
approach is born from a desire to
assist the learning of every student.
Its an ongoing effort to make
sure we are meeting the needs of
all kids, she said.
While considering innovative
means of education, Power noted it
is imperative the district work
closely with teachers to ensure
such opportunities are possible.
But collaboration with teachers
should not end at the work in the
classroom, said Power, as she suggested officials should continue
offering chances for professional
development, and perhaps even
examine joining a regional effort
to offer affordable housing for
those who are struggling to afford
the high cost of living in
Hillsborough.
Wai too agreed there is a challenge for some district employees
to cope with the expense of living

As the expectations
for

change, Dannis
said, so should

for
assessing their
quality.

Richard Lim though, he said
he
was
impressed with
how teachers
have handled

the way teachers

The housing situation is very
tough for everybody, he said.
He suggested the district also
consider developing a home sharing network for teachers who are
interested in renting rooms in
Hillsborough homes that offer
extra space.
This requires some innovation
and creativity, as well as sharing
ideas to figure out how to do it, he
said.
Though Dannis acknowledged
the difficulty for some teachers to
afford living locally, he noted
many district teachers are compensated better than most other
neighboring communities.
He said the district has been successful in its ability to attract and
retain quality educators, thanks to
the considerable resources and
additional support they enjoy
while working in Hillsborough.
Wahl echoed those sentiments.
We have never had trouble
retaining
teachers
in
Hillsborough, he said.
Considering the high rate of pay
comparable to other districts,
combined with the small class
sizes, opportunities for professional development, additional
financial support and community
engagement, among other perks,
Wahl said he believed officials had
created an ideal environment for
most teachers.
If you get a job offer from
Hillsborough, you have died and
gone to teacher heaven, he said.

Bullet train project looking more costly

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Californias

ambitious Los-Angeles-to-SanFrancisco high-speed rail project
will likely miss its 2022 deadline
and go over its $68 billion budget, a newspaper analysis concluded.
State ofcials underestimated
the projects challenges particularly punching 36 miles of tunnels through the geologically
complex mountains north of Los
Angeles, the Los Angeles Times
said Saturday.
It will be the most ambitious
tunneling project in U.S. history.

Crews will have to cross the tectonic boundary that separates the
North American and Pacic plates,
boring through rock formations
and earthquake faults, some of
which are not mapped.
State ofcials say the tunnels
will be nished by 2022, along
with 300 miles of track, dozens of
bridges or viaducts, high-voltage
electrical systems, a maintenance
plant and as many as six stations.
It doesnt strike me as realistic, said James Monsees, one of
the worlds top tunneling experts
and an author of the federal manual
on highway tunneling. Faults are
notorious for causing trouble.

The California High-Speed Rail

Authority hasnt yet chosen an
exact route through the mountains. It also is behind schedule on
land acquisition, nancing and
permit approvals, among other
crucial tasks, and is facing multiple lawsuits. The rst construction began in July 2 1/2 years
behind the target the authority had
set in 2012.
The newspaper analyzed project
documents and conducted interviews with scientists, engineers
and construction experts.
A condential 2013 report by
the states main project management contractor, New York-based

Parsons Brinckerhoff, estimated

that the cost of building the rst
phase from Burbank to Merced had
risen 31 percent to $40 billion.
And it projected that the cost of
the entire project would rise at
least 5 percent.
Parsons Brinckerhoff briefed
state ofcials on the estimate in
October 2013, according to the
document obtained by the Times.
But the state used a lower cost estimate when it issued its 2014 business plan four months later.
Jeff Morales, the rail authority
chief executive, said he was not
aware of the Parsons Brinckerhoff
projection. A spokeswoman for

the authority declined to discuss

the differences in the estimates.
Public opinion polls taken over
the years have shown that support
for the project has ebbed as costs
have risen and at $68 billion,
the budget is already more than
double the $33-billion estimate
made by the rail authority before
California voters approved bonds
for the project seven years ago.
Morales said he believes the
costs can be reduced below the projected $68 billion. The authority is
applying the best construction and
engineering methods in the world,
and initial contract bids have come
in below estimates, he said.

Early prison release will test drug felons, re-entry groups

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA She was the queen of

the OK Corral, a tot-toting grandmother
who stepped up to rent out street corners and
run the bustling cocaine trade in her north
Philadelphia neighborhood after her 20year-old son was gunned down.
By the time a younger son nished testifying against her in federal court in 1990,
Myrna Suren was sent off to serve a life sentence. She was 41 years old.
Now 67, Suren will soon leave the federal
prison in downtown Philadelphia where she
has spent the past 25 years. She is one of
the 6,000 drug felons set for release around

Nov. 1 as part of a national effort to reduce

what the U.S. Sentencing Commission now
deems to be overly harsh and expensive
drug laws enacted during the eras War
on Drugs.
Whatever their hopes and dreams, the
thousands of inmates returning to communities across the U.S. may nd re-entry
more difcult than they imagined. And its
unclear from Associated Press interviews
with lawyers, prisoner advocates, parole
ofcials and a federal judge how much
support theyll nd.
Some are coming out after three years,
some after 20, said Elizabeth Toplin, a federal public defender who reviewed about 800

drug cases in the Philadelphia region. Its a

different world. These guys come out of jail
and theyve never seen a cellphone. ...
Unless we intervene properly, when people
come home, they just dont have the
resources not to go back.
Many of those returning home expect a
smooth landing, according to their petitions for early release.
Jose Antonio Pagan plans to seek work,
possibly in marine mechanics, after his
sentence for smuggling hundreds of kilos of
cocaine by boat from the Bahamas to
Florida was cut from 14 to 11 years. Pagan
said his life derailed after he drifted to a
singular crime of monumental consequences. He and his wife are divorcing, but
he said his parents will take him in.
Youve got a bunch of people coming
back, and once theyre here they have very
basic human needs, and those are housing,
employment and the family reunication
factor, said Tina Naidoo, executive director
of the Dallas-based Texas Offenders Reentry
Initiative, which has 10 full-time employees and hopes to recruit volunteers to handle
the additional caseload.
About 50,000 federal inmates are typically
released from prison each year. The early
release program will save taxpayers millions, given the $30,000 annual cost of a
prison stay, compared with $3,900 for supervised release. About 2,000 of the 6,000
being released soon are set to be deported.
Most have already been moved to halfway
houses or home connement over the past
year, as their sentences were recalculated.
In Philadelphia, ve or 10 people of the

45 getting early release will be tapped for

an intensive probation program for at-risk
offenders known as Re-Entry Court. The
program which says it has cut recidivism
in half, to about 20 percent of the nearly
240 participants in the past ve years
offers a broad array of social services,
including counseling, tutoring, housing,
health care and job training, most provided
by volunteers.
They cant do it alone. And I think for
too long society really ignored that reality, said U.S. Magistrate Timothy Rice, a
former federal prosecutor who helped start
the program in 2007. The odds are stacked
against them unless somebody reaches out
to help walk them through this.
The concept is expanding nationwide, but
far more people are steered to traditional
probation.
All participants being released are drug
offenders. Prosecutors around the country
signed off on most petitions but had the
right to challenge those they considered a
danger to the community. Judges had the
nal say. Nationally, about three-quarters of
the petitioners have won early release.
Suren, now a great-grandmother, remains
illiterate in both English and her native
Spanish. Its not clear whether she will return
to the Hunting Park neighborhood, or
whether anyone there would welcome her
back. Shes spent the last quarter-century at
the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia,
just a few miles from home, where her familys Gray Tape posse once slugged it out
with rival gangs to control the $1.5 milliona-month neighborhood drug trade.

Sanders ups critique of Clinton policies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa Hillary

Rodham Clinton cast herself as
the heir to President Barack
Obamas agenda and the antidote
to Republicans before thousands
of Iowa Democrats at a highstakes party fundraiser.
Bernie Sanders took a much different approach on Saturday
night, calling himself a principled fighter even when it wasnt
easy a not-so-subtle critique of
Clinton.
Clinton, Sanders and former
Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley
made perhaps their most important pitches of the campaign so far
to an influential audience of about
6,600 Iowa Democrats who could
help determine the outcome in
next Februarys leadoff presidential caucuses.
Takeaways from the Iowa
Democratic Partys Jefferson-

Jackson dinner,
known to insiders as the J-J.
Clinton put
the
Vermont
senator on the
defensive at the
first debate earlier this month
in Las Vegas, Hillary Clinton
challenging his
mixed record on gun control and
implying that his brand of democratic socialism might work in
Denmark but not here.
Sanders essentially offered his
rebuttal, pointing to a litany of
issues trade deals, the Keystone
XL pipeline, the Iraq War and gay
rights where he took a principled stand and Clinton shifted her
positions.
At one point, Sanders borrowed
an argument that Obama used successfully in his 2008 primary
campaign against Clinton, declar-

ing, I promise you tonight, as

your president I will govern based
on principle, not poll numbers.
His cheering section roared in
approval.
As pop singer Katy Perry sat in
the audience, Clinton joked that
sometimes you just have to let
them hear you roar. But when it
came to Sanders, the former secretary of state was careful not to
alienate his supporters.
Clinton is taking the long view:
Shes building an organization to
rack up the delegates needed to win
the nomination and recognizes
she will need Sanders supporters
to win the general election.
Her speech included several nods
to Obama and Vice President Joe
Biden, but Clinton trained most of
her fire on Republicans, warning
that they would dismantle the
presidents achievements if the
GOP captures the White House.
This was the first time the field

took the stage since Biden said he

wouldnt run and two lesser-known
candidates Jim Webb and
Lincoln Chafee dropped out.
That gives OMalley a three-way
race, which he has sought for
months.
OMalley made a generational
appeal, saying Democrats must
cast aside the worn-out politics
of the past. He also showed he
could be a thorn in the sides of
both Clinton and Sanders.
OMalley said Democrats need
to stand like a rock and not turn
into a weather vane willing to
shift with the winds, an obvious
dig at Clintons evolving.
And he leaned into gun control,
directly urging Sanders and
Clinton to support a number of
gun-safety measures, including
the repealing a law that gives
most gun manufacturers immunity
in lawsuits. Sanders supported the
measure in 2005, a stance that

Texas spared destruction from

Hurricane Patricias remnants
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Drenching storms that

the remnants of Hurricane Patricia dragged
into Texas nally cleared Sunday without
leaving behind the death or devastation of
torrential rain and oods that hit the state
earlier in the year.
Some parts of Texas have been pounded
by more than a foot of rain since Friday,
shutting down busy highways and derailing
a train. But relentless showers were gratefully the only comparison to Memorial Day
storms that killed more than 30 people in

Texas and Oklahoma and stranded 2,500

cars around Houston.
One man remained missing near San
Antonio after authorities say he was caught
by oodwaters, but no deaths in Texas have
been conrmed. By Sunday morning, as
swollen bayous around Houston receded and
closed roads reopened in Austin, daybreak
also revealed scant damage.

Former President Bill Clinton
joked he was nothing more than a
warmup act for Perry at the predinner concert staged by Clintons
campaign. But his 15-minute
speech offered a look at how hed

Bill Clinton said Octobers
highlights the first debate, her
appearance before the Benghazi
committee showed voters how
she would lead the nation. And he
quipped that her recent appearance

He recalled her early days at the

Assad favors vote after defeating terrorists

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria President

Bashar Assad is willing to run in
an early presidential election,
hold parliamentary elections and
discuss constitutional changes,
but only after the defeat of terrorist groups, Russian lawmakers
said after meeting with the Syrian
leader on Sunday.
The meeting came as Russia, the
United States, Saudi Arabia and
Turkey were discussing new ideas
for a political transition to end
Syrias nearly ve-year civil war,
which has killed 250,000 people
and displaced half the countrys
population.
The Western-backed Syrian
opposition and other insurgent
groups have refused to back any
plan that does not include Assads
exit from power, and were unlikely to view any elections held by
his government as legitimate.
The Syrian government considers
the entire armed opposition to be

terrorists.
This is all
political equivocation,
Munzer Akbik,
a member of the
main opposition
Syrian
Na t i o n a l
Bashar Assad Council, told
the Associated
Press. There is no sense in talking about elections now before a
real transition of power.
Russian lawmaker Alexander
Yushchenko told the Tass news
agency that Assad is ready to hold
parliamentary elections on the
basis of all political forces that
want Syrias prosperity. He said
Assad is also ready to discuss constitutional reform and, if necessary, hold presidential elections,
but only after the victory over
terrorism.
Assad won re-election more
than a year ago by a landslide in a
vote dismissed as a sham by his

opponents. Voting did not take

place in areas controlled by the
opposition, excluding millions
of voters. Assads term expires in
2021.
Sergei
Gavrilov,
another
Russian lawmaker, told Tass that
Assad was ready to hold parliamentary elections that included
reasonable, patriotic opposition
forces. Parliaments term expires
in May 2016.
The latest push for a diplomatic
solution to the conict comes in
the wake of Russias military
intervention, which Moscow says
is aimed at helping the Assad government defeat the Islamic State
group and other terrorists.
But most of Russias airstrikes
have focused on areas where IS
militants do not have a major
presence, and have enabled a
multi-pronged
government
ground offensive backed by
Lebanons Shiite Hezbollah militia and Irans Revolutionary Guard
against other insurgent groups.

Assad told the Russian delegation that Moscows entry into the
conict is the writing of a new
history and will determine the
future of the region and the world,
Syrias state-run SANA news
agency said.
It quoted Assad as saying the
eradication of terrorist groups
would lead to a political solution
that pleases the Syrian people
and maintains Syrias sovereignty, independence and territorial
integrity.
After rst questioning the presence of the Western-backed Free
Syrian Army and calling it a
phantom structure, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
said Saturday that Moscow is
ready to aid the group in its ght
against IS militants. The FSA is
an amalgam of rebel groups, some
headed by defectors from the
Syrian army, and includes factions armed and trained by the
CIA and others backed by Saudi
Arabia and Turkey.

Two rebel members, including a

commander of a CIA-backed
group, said representatives of the
Russian government have reached
out to them to arrange for meetings.
Akbik, the opposition politician, conrmed he had learned of
such communications.
Jamil al-Saleh, leader of the
CIA-backed Tajammu Alezzah,
which has been targeted by
Russian airstrikes since the start
of the campaign in central Hama
province, said a man introducing
himself as a representative of the
Russian Foreign Ministry called
him last week to ask for a meeting
with Russian ofcials in a friendly country. Al-Saleh said the gobetween said the meeting was to
coordinate and prepare for the
future.
Al-Saleh said he had rejected the
Russian overture outright and
informed his backers, apparently
referring to the U. S and other
governments in the region.

Kerry announced the steps on Saturday
after several days of meetings with Israeli,
Palestinian and Jordanian leaders. The
highlight was a Jordanian proposal to
install surveillance cameras at the
Jerusalem holy site.
More than a month of violence has been
fueled by allegations that Israel is trying to
change the delicate status quo at the site, which

Measure X needs to be x-ed out
Editor,
Measure X asks us to pay back a
$148 million bond over 40 years to
build and upgrade schools because of
overcrowding caused by the San
Mateo City Council rubber stamping
redevelopment proposals and the former Foster City Council overdeveloping that master planned community
by approximately 15 percent. Is it
fair to ask the average property owner
to pay another $150 a year for 40
years for this problem, while developers walk away with their millions?
As for Foster City, the school district
once had properties in Foster City
they could develop into schools, but
the district sold them. Now the district wants us to buy property to build
a school.
My tax bill already lists three
bonds for the San Mateo-Foster City
School District totaling $650 per
year, and the bill insert indicates
school districts get 45 percent of the
regular property tax revenue. Now the
district wants to add a fourth bond
measure for approximately $150 a
year. Education is important, but I
dont support paying for capital
improvements for problems caused by
poor city council decisions, and I am
tired of hearing the upgrade mantra in
every bond measure. Didnt we
accomplish that in the previous
bonds? Perhaps I could be more supportive if the educational system was
more efcient and the powerful
teacher associations didnt continue
to block laws protecting our children,
because the law would make it easier
to discipline or terminate a teacher.
Its a two-way street folks.

School districts and politics

simply do not mix
Editor,
As voters in the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District may
remember, they have received a ier
from the district that looked very
much like a typical political campaign ier. It purported to give information on Measure X on the
November ballot. However, it only
included information based on the
districts perspective.
Molly Barton, assistant superintendent of student services, emailed
me that the mailing cost $11,942.80.
I believe that the mailing was an
inappropriate expenditure of district
funds. Campaigns should be conducted by advocates and opponents of the
bond issue and should not utilize public funds. This is a prosperous community and $12,000 could have been
raised from the advocates of this bond
issue to cover the mailing.

Community College District Board.
Ive known Dave for many years, and
I think he is extraordinarily well qualied to serve as our community college trustee.Hes got proven leadership and management skills from his
successful Silicon Valley business
career.During Daves 12 years on the
college board, our three local community colleges (Caada College,
College of San Mateo and Skyline

given the huge budget cuts that our
schools have faced in recent years.
Dave has the proven experience of
balancing the districts $130 million

three campuses.
I know that Dave will spend our tax

about rising cost on our weekly trash
pickup and some complain about
leaving a mess after pickup and I
notice it getting picked up later each
week. Ive complained to Recology
on several occasions and have gotten
quick response to my complaint.
Kudos to Recology. One way to keep
cost down and quick and clean pickup
is to follow there rules as Ive have
done from day one., First make sure
your containers are out on the curb by
6 a.m. and are 24 inches apart and are
not overlled as to spill on the street.
This slows the driver down as he has
to stop and correct the problem and
slows his schedule down. Lets all do
our part and this will help thing run
smoothly. No, I dont work for

Democratic
debate round one

y now we have read the press reports and editorials on the rst democratic debate. The consensus
is that Hillary Clinton won hands down, looked
presidential and cooled any desire for Vice President Joe
Biden to enter the race. There were three who didnt distinguish or help themselves. Former Rhode Island governor
Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia senator James Webb,
both former Republicans, looked uncomfortable. Maybe
they were asking themselves what in heck am I doing
here. Why were they running and why is former Maryland
governor Martin OMalley
in the race? James Webb
was a good senator, but a
poor presidential candidate. He is smart to have
pulled out. OMalley seems
like a decent sort but he
failed to make a presidential impression. As for the
Rhode Island governor, he
was just strange. And now
he too is out of the race.
On social media,
Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders is still a favorite.
His loyal fans thought he
did well. He was his usual
feisty self on economic
issues . He never strays from his principles, which to
some may seem too rigid and inexible. He denitely
scored points by not attacking but proclaiming The
American people are sick and tired of hearing about your
(Clintons) damn emails.
There were only ve candidates on stage versus the 11
in the second primetime Republican debate. It made it
much easier for the candidates to spend time on the issues.
Anderson Cooper of CNN asked tough questions but,
because the Democrats were not interested in insulting
each other, there was less incentive for a gotcha question.
In fact, compared to the Republicans, the Democrats
seemed nice, not nasty.
***
Hillary Clinton did well. She looked terric. Energetic,
smiling and seemed to be enjoying herself. Shes a well
honed debater, a skill she perfected in high school. She
was well prepared and probably won most points for her
defense of capitalism versus Sanders anti-capitalist pitch.
By tying the capitalist system to the nurturing of small
business, she showed Sanders biggest vulnerability. He
sounds good on the stump but his philosophy may be too
progressive for general election voters. That being said,
he is a breath of fresh air. The truth teller from Vermont
where voters have re-elected him to the Senate but refused
to choose him as governor.
I wasnt excited or elated about any one candidate after
the debate. I wished Joe Biden would opt in and regret he
didnt. Most of all, I wished President Obama could run for
a third term. On 60 Minutes when asked if he would like
another term, he replied it was bittersweet. He was looking forward to moving on, it was right for the country to
have a new face and a new outlook, but there was more he
would like to do. Unlike President William Howard Taft,

falling leaves, green lawns, hot showers without the need
to dump pails of gray water on the plants, washing dishes
with water instead of camp-style rinsing in a big pot, and
occasionally with a bit of guilt letting the water run while
brushing teeth. Unlike San Francisco, streets are clean in
tourist areas. The highlight was the new Whitney America
art museum located across from the Hudson River in a former meat packing district. What was once a grimy industrial area full of dirty red brick buildings has been rejuvenated as hip, gentried, full of expensive shops and
restaurants, with a fancy hotel with extraordinary views
and of course the new museum. The architect, Renzo
Piano, has used the expansive area to create a spectacular
indoor and outdoor experience. Each upper oor has a
huge balcony where on nice days visitors can enjoy a
view of the river, the new and old buildings, and the ever
changing skyline of old and new skyscrapers. There is an
outdoor staircase which links to the High Line and affords
more views. There is certainly nothing like autumn in
New York.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Can insiders fix Volkswagen?

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A DIFFERENT KIND
OF COMPANY

WOLFSBURG, Germany

Volkswagens effort to x its

emissions scandal will be largely
led by company insiders. Some
experts say its the only way,
given the German carmakers
unusually complicated structure
and power groups.
Others, however, argue the company is just compounding its risks
if it does not bring an outsider to
change its ways.
Volkswagen has named a new
CEO and chairman since the scandal became known Sept. 18. Both
are longtime employees.
The effort to nd the guilty and
prevent a recurrence is in the
hands of new CEO Matthias
Mueller, who has been with the
group for almost three decades.
Mueller, who previously led
Volkswagens highly protable
Porsche brand, took over when
Martin Winterkorn resigned.
The new board chairman, Hans
Dieter Poetsch, had been chief
nancial ofcer since 2003.
Theres no indication he knew
about the decision to cheat on the
U.S. diesel emissions tests with
software installed in engines. But
he was a member of the top management team in place when the
cheating took place, a group of
executives that hasnt yet been
formally cleared of involvement.
Mueller has promised a new,
more open approach.
The
question
is,
will
Volkswagen identify the guilty
but miss the chance to change the
culture that enabled the scandal in
the rst place?

Volkswagen can be a complicated place to gure out.

The billionaire members of the
Piech and Porsche families collectively control a majority of the
voting rights through their holding company, Porsche
Automobil Holding
SE. They include
Ferdinand Piech,
who served as
CEO
from
1993
to
2002
and
only left the
board chairmanship in
April.
And
the
local government and unions
hold a lot of
power, too.
Lower Saxony, the
Germany
state
where
Volkswagens Wolfsburg headquarters is located, holds a 20 percent voting stake, giving it the
legal right to block plant closures. Employee representatives
by law hold half of the board
seats, and can also veto important
decisions.
Dirk Toepfer, a member of the
parliament of Lower Saxony, presents a commonly heard argument
in Germany: that the peculiarities
of Volkswagen mean company
veterans are best positioned to
lead the clean-up.
Volkswagen is a different
world, says Toepfer. That means
this enterprise functions under different rules than other enterprises.

Thats why they need someone

that knows the structure.
Someone who comes completely from the outside and doesnt know how the rules of the
game go will fail at the cleanup.
The
management
under
Winterkorn also has been criticized as overly opaque and hierarchical. Employee representative Bernd Osterloh
lamented last month
the need for a culture in which its
possible and
permissible to
argue
with
your superior
about the best
way to go.
Some question whether
pressure to meet
Volkswagens target of passing
Toyota as the worlds
largest car maker led people to cut corners. Volkswagen
achieved that goal in the rst half
of this year, just before the scandal broke out.
Toepfer acknowledged that the
inside-outside question has two
sides: Before its known who was
involved and how, theres the danger that those put in charge of
clarifying matters were involved
themselves.

THE COMPANY VIEW

Volkswagen has made some
effort to reach outside, hiring U.S.
law rm Jones Day to nd out who
knew and did what in the scandal.
It has also brought in an executive
from competitor Daimler, a former
top judge, to oversee legal com-

pliance.
Volkswagen also sought legal
clarication about Poetschs move
to become chairman, said HansGerde Bode, the companys director of communications. Knowing
that these questions would come
up, we obtained a legal opinion
ahead of time, which made this
change possible to undertake,
because we knew, yes, that will
lead to multi-sided discussion.
Bode said the company cannot
predict what Jones Day will nd
but that its relatively sure that
the CFO and the very top management was not involved in this
decision to alter engine software
so that the cars evaded the U.S.
tests.
He added: Naturally, if at one
point or another possible conicts of interest are indicated with
anyone whatsoever, these people
will surely not be part of any
meeting where Jones Day reports
something and where decisions
are taken.

RISKS WITH INSIDERS

Carol Adams, a professor at
Durham University Business
School in Britain, questions the
idea that only an insider could x
Volkswagen. She says that may
stem from the scarcity of outside
directors on its board, which is
dominated by the owner families
and employee representatives: If
youve got a board with independent directors on it, youre less
likely to have that fear of questioning a particular culture.
Do they really mean that an
outsider couldnt understand the
culture, or that an outsider might
question that culture? she said.

Stephan Bratzel, director of the

Center
of
Automotive
Management at the University of
Applied
Sciences-Bergisch
Gladbach, says the Jones Day
probe will likely identify the individuals responsible.
But that could stop short of
changing Volkswagens culture.
The company, he says, should
appoint an outside commission
put together from experts,
researchers and non-government
organizations to investigate what
happened and how to prevent it
from happening again.
Fellow auto giants General
Motors and Toyota stayed with
insiders as CEOs as they faced
scandals over defective vehicles.
Toyota recalled millions of cars
after a crisis in 2009-10 over
unintended acceleration in some
cars and GM had to x vehicles
where faulty ignition switches
could shut off the engine and disable airbags.
But Siemens AG, a German engineering conglomerate, reached
outside the company for a new
CEO after it was hit with criminal
investigations for using widespread bribery to win business in a
number of countries.
Peter Loescher was brought from
pharmaceutical company Merck
and streamlined the companys
complex structure and, by his own
account, purged 80 percent of top
management.
Once the scandal was past,
Loescher ran into trouble in 2013
with missed prot targets.
He was ousted by the board and
replaced with chief nancial ofcer Joe Kaeser a longtime
Siemens insider.

Nuclear plants dip into dismantling

funds to pay for storage of waste
have to pay for indefinite storage of
spent fuel on the roughly 100 nuclear
plant sites around the country.
And long-term, on-site storage of
nuclear waste is a bad idea, said Arnold
Gundersen, a former nuclear industry
executive turned consultant who frequently criticizes the industry.
You build power plants near water
because you have to cool them, and
you build nuclear waste storage sites
away from water because of the threat
of radioactive materials reaching it,
Gundersen said.
It would be much better to get the
stuff underground where terrorists
couldnt fly a plane into it, he said.
The retirement fund raids have been
triggered by the failure to date of the
U.S. Department of Energy to open a
permanent disposal site for spent
nuclear fuel.

MONTPELIER, Vt. With a federal

promise to take highly radioactive
spent fuel from nuclear plants still
unfulfilled, closed reactors are dipping
into funds set aside for their eventual
dismantling to build waste storage onsite, raising questions about whether
there will be enough money when the
time comes.
It violates Nuclear Regulatory
Commission rules for the plants to
take money from their decommissioning trust funds to pay for building the
concrete pads and rows of concrete and
steel casks where waste is stored after
it is cooled in special storage pools.
But the NRC is granting exemptions
from those rules every time it is asked.
All of the plants that have permanently shut down in recent years have

sought, and been approved for, the use

of decommissioning funds for spent
fuel storage costs, NRC spokesman
Neil Sheehan wrote in an email in
response to questions from The
Associated Press this past week.
These include the Kewaunee plant in
Wisconsin, San Onofre 1 and 2 in
California, Crystal River 3 in Florida,
and Vermont Yankee in Vernon, in
Vermonts southeast corner, which closed
at the end of last year. The Zion 1 and 2
reactors in Illinois, which shut down in
the late 1990s, had gotten a similar OK to
use decommissioning money for spent
fuel storage, Sheehan said.
Ratepayers chipped in during nuclear
plants lives to set aside the money it
would take eventually to tear down
reactors, remove their radioactive
components and restore the sites. It
was not envisioned they also would

Carr throws 3 TDs to march Raiders past San Diego

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO For three quarters, the

Raiders embarrassed their possible future stadium mates, the San Diego Chargers.
Not only did Oakland practically run San
Diego out of its own stadium, but there were
enough Raiders fans to make it feel almost
like a home game.
Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes,
including a nifty 52-yarder to Amari Cooper,
and Oakland turned two interceptions of
Philip Rivers into 10 points on its way to a
37-29 victory over the Chargers on Sunday in

what could be the last

showdown between the
AFC West foes played in
San Diego.
It was the first meeting
of the Raiders (3-3) and
Chargers (2-5) since their
owners announced plans
to build a $1.7 billion stadium in an industrial Los
Derek Carr
Angeles suburb if they
cant get new stadiums in their home markets.
Coming off a bye, the Raiders looked
quicker and more efficient. They scored on
their first seven drives and kept the Chargers

out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.

Thats the longest we have sustained really good football as a team in all three phases, first-year coach Jack Del Rio said. Im
really happy for our guys.
Veteran safety Charles Woodson said allowing 23 points in the fourth quarter was
almost like a blueprint for how not to finish
games.
Del Rio didnt seem perturbed about that.
Thats not going to be the focus. The focus
is going to be that we got a win that we needed, Del Rio said.
Cooper, the first-round draft pick out of
Alabama, caught a short pass from Carr on an

inside screen and raced through the defense to

give the Raiders a 30-3 lead just before halftime. He finished with five catches for 133
yards.
Carr, the second-year pro out of Fresno
State, also threw touchdown passes of 23
yards to Clive Walford and 25 yards to
Michael Crabtree. Carr was 24 of 31 for 289
yards.
The Raiders didnt have to punt until midway through the third quarter.
Coming out of the bye was big for us to
come out hot, come out rolling, Carr said.

With a little help from their friends, the

College of San Mateo Bulldogs are for all
intents and purposes back in control of
their own postseason destiny.
CSM (1-1 in Bay 6, 5-2 overall) rolled to
a 28-10 win over the De Anza Dons Saturday
at College Heights Stadium. Coupled with
City College of San Franciscos 26-16 victory over Santa Rosa Junior College, the
Bulldogs are within striking distance of
first place in the Bay 6 Conference.
If we win out, were the wild car or we win

our conference, CSM head coach Bret

Pollack said. But it doesnt feel like our
guys believe that.
Despite CSMs victory Saturday, Pollack
said he was frustrated with his teams play
against unranked De Anza (0-2, 2-5). The
Bulldogs got off to a fast start, scoring 21
points in the first quarter. It was their best
first-quarter tally of the season, a total they
last reached Nov. 1, 2014 in a 63-10 win
over Foothill.
Its pretty important, CSM running
back Ramiah Marshall said. Most of the
games weve come out flat. So we had to
come out and make a statement today.

Unlike last years Foothill rout, however,

CSM took its foot off the accelerator and
managed just one more score on the day. The
Bulldogs actually got outgained 380-330 in
total yards by De Anza.
We turned off the gas and couldnt turn it
back on, Pollack said.
But where the offense was a source of frustration, the CSM defense performed well
against turnover-plagued De Anza, especially the Bulldogs secondary. De Anza
entering into play with 27 turnovers on the
year committed four turnovers on the day,

Hamilton wins U.S. Grand Prix and F1 crown Logano wins

at Talladega

By Jim Vertuno
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Lewis Hamilton took off

his racing helmet and bent low in a moment
of quiet reflection after winning a tight race
and another Formula One championship.
Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg sat nearby, slumped in a feeling of disgust revealed
when Hamilton tossed him his second-place
cap and the German flipped it right back,
nearly hitting Hamilton in the face.
Hamilton ignored the gesture, turned and
walked to the victors podium to celebrate
winning the United States Grand Prix to
secure his third Formula One season title.
In the final laps I was thinking about my
family and my dad standing in the rain watching me race, as a crazy parent thinking someday he might be a good driver, Hamilton
said. Its hard to believe Im here as a threetime champion.
It was Rosbergs mistake that helped make
this one happen. The German skidded off a
short straight out of the 12th turn with eight
laps to go at the Circuit of the Americas,
opening the gap Hamilton needed.
Hamiltons third U.S. win in four years
gave him 21 over two seasons and his 10th
this year. The 30-year-old is the first Formula
One driver to win 10 or more races in consecutive seasons.
For Rosberg, it was yet another race of frustration for a driver who enjoys the dominance
of his Mercedes car, but cant get the better of
his boyhood friend turned rival.
Not saying something wrong with the car,
for now I think its a mistake I made,
Rosberg said.
A third season championship earns
Hamilton a spot among the great drivers in
the sports history. Three matches his idol
Ayrton Senna and ties Jackie Stewart for most
championships by a British driver. Only
Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio,
Alain Prost and current Ferrari driver
Sebastian Vettel have won more.

Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain drives during qualifying for the U.S.
F1 Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.
the championship race to next week in
Mexico City if he had been able to pass
Rosberg on the final lap for second.
Hamiltons first world title in 2008 came
down to the final turn in the final race of the
season. The second and third have been much
more dominant.
His switch to Mercedes in 2013 put him in
Formula Ones dominant car after the engine
change from the screaming V8s to a V6
turbo hybrid. Hamilton and Mercedes have
been out front ever since. His closest rival
has been Rosberg.
Hamiltons title march seemed inevitable
entering the weekend until harsh weather
pounded the Austin area for three days, forcing drivers and teams to push their cars
through difficult conditions of a slick track
and low visibility.
Constant rain pushed qualifying all the way to
Sunday morning, the first time thats happened
since 2013 and just the fourth since 2004.
When Rosberg took the pole position,
Hamilton said hed be cautious from No. 2 and
wouldnt do anything crazy.
No chance.

Hamilton roared out of the start and forced

Rosberg wide into the first turn at the top of
the 130-foot incline and their cars touched
tires. By the time they were hurtling back
down hill, Hamilton had seized the lead.
The move gave Rosberg nowhere to go and
he soon found himself in fourth as Red Bulls
Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo jumped
into the gap on Hamiltons rear.
The Mercedes and Red Bull cars battled
through several lead changes and wheel-towheel racing over the first 20 laps. Vettel,
who started 13th because of an engine change
grid penalty, crept his way through the field
in hopes of keeping his own slim title
chances alive.
But the race and the season again boiled
down to Mercedes duel over the final 10 laps.
Rosbergs wobbly drift into the grass opened
the door for the world champion.
Rosberg set a scorching lap to catch
Hamilton but couldnt do it and had to fight
off Vettel just to stay in second.
There were so many times I thought I had
lost the race, Hamilton said. But I never for
one second thought I couldnt do it.

TALLADEGA, Ala. Joey Logano completed a sweep of the second round of

NASCARs playoffs by winning in a controversial finish Sunday at
Talladega Superspeedway.
NASCAR said earlier
this week it would make
just one attempt to finish
the race under green-flag
conditions, and Logano
was the leader on what was
supposed to be the final
restart. But a spin in traffic
Joey Logano behind him before he took
the green extended the caution and set up one
more chance for Dale Eanrhardt Jr. and others.
Instead, reigning Sprint Cup champion
Kevin Harvick sputtered on the restart to trigger a multi-car accident. Logano did pass
under the green flag, though, and NASCAR
quickly threw the caution.
It denied Earnhardt a chance to race for the
win, and he was eliminated from the playoffs.

Diminutive Marshall brings big-time speed

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

College of San Mateo is hoping Ramiah

Marshalls 66-yard first-quarter touchdown
Saturday serves as a metaphor for its entire
season.
Marshalls scoring run was one mean
impersonation of Lorenzo Cain, the Royals
baseball speedster whos mad dash from
first to home in Fridays ALCS Game 6 propelled Kansas City into the World Series.
Marshalls scoring run was a symmetrically
circular route as well, with the freshman
slot receiver flashing serious closing speed
to outhustle two De Anza defenders to the
end zone.
Hes very quick and explosive, CSM
head coach Bret Pollack said. He plays
hard.
Now, CSM is looking to flex its closing
speed in terms of the season playoff outlook, as the No. 10-ranked Bulldogs need to
win their final three games including a

regular-season finale against No. 3 City

College of San Francisco to earn a postseason berth.
And the Bulldogs arent going to find a
better underdog to rally around than
Marshall. At 5-7, 150 pounds, Marshall
wasnt exactly welcomed with open arms to
the world of college football. But his outstanding speed may just carry him beyond
the community college ranks.
Marshall last clocked a 40-yard split time
during his senior high school season last
year at San Lorenzo. He said he ran a 4.51second 40 then, but suspects hes improved
on it this season.
I think Ive improved, Marshall said.
Ive picked up a little bit of speed.
Originally from Donalsonville, Georgia,
Marshall grew up dreaming of playing
Division-I football at an SEC program.
After relocating to the East Bay in seventh
grade, however, the only four-year school
to offer him a roster spot out of San Lorenzo
where he played quarterback was the

CSM
Continued from page 11
with the CSM defense producing three interceptions, including two of De Anzas first three possessions.
We played great, CSM cornerback Andre Neal said of the
secondarys performance. With all our teams in conference,
theyre all good passing teams and weve played well. But
weve still got a lot to work on.
Neal produced the first interception of the day to stifle De
Anzas opening drive. CSM was throwing a three-man rush
at De Anza quarterback Ron Johnson, giving the sophomore
plenty of time in the pocket. And on second-and-18 from the
Dons 33-yard line, he had some time to look downfield
before defensive ends Cody Brown and Fou Polataivao
pushed through to apply pressure.
The CSM secondary didnt let up though, and when
Johnson finally committed to a secondary fade rout to the
left side, Neal beat the De Anza receiver to the spot to come
up with the pick.
I had to stay on my guy a long time, Neal said. Were
always taught, when the quarterback starts scrambling, just
man up.
The Bulldogs scored on the very next play. Taking over
from the CSM 40-yard line, slot receiver Miles Willis took
a play-action pitch around the right side for the touchdown.
CSM quarterback Dru Browns sell-job was so good on a fake
handoff to Isaiah Williams, that the draw rout was met by a
host of De Anza tacklers, with Willis motoring around the
pack before anyone was the wiser.
On De Anzas next drive, the CSM defense produced a stop
on the Dons best chance of the first half. On third-and-14
from the CSM 22-yard line, linebacker David Lavulo
notched the first of six team sacks on the day to stick the
Dons to a fourth-and-32. De Anza went for it, with Johnson

Division-II program at Western Oregon

University.
Hence, his arrival at CSM with hopes of
keeping the D-I dream alive.
His stature alone doesnt make him
unique. CSM freshman running back Isaiah
Williams is also 5-7, but weighs in at 185
pounds. And the two are quite a counterweight to CSM freshman Joey Wood, a 511, 225-pound fullback. Williams currently
leads the Bulldogs with 309 rushing yards
on the year, while Wood who has struggled with a shoulder injury this season
has 306.
While Marshall ranks third on the team
with 277 rushing yards, he has carried the
ball far less and currently leads the trio with
7.5 yards per carry. Williams averages 5.7
and Wood 5.4.
Marshall said his inspiration to continue
playing football comes from his mother,
Sharrion, who abides by the He Got Game
philosophy its the will of the man, not
the skill of the man.

throwing an incompletion while being hurried by a clean

blitz from defensive end Too Hamilton.
CSM took over at its own 30, and this time it took the
Bulldogs took two plays to strike pay dirt. Marshall came up
with the second score of the day, taking a pitch around the
right side and sprinting 66 yards for the touchdown.
Three plays into De Anzas next possession, the Bulldogs
secondary produced another pick. On third-and-15 from the
Dons 17, Johnson force a pass into double coverage. Safety
Joshua Clarke stuck with the Dons receiver and got a hand on
the ball to tip it to freshman Keenan Johnson for the interception. Johnson almost took it for a pick-6 before getting
pushed out of bounds at the De Anza 8-yard line.
CSM followed with a 7-yard run by Williams before the
freshman walked in for a 1-yard score, giving the Bulldogs
a 21-0 lead.
The Bulldogs recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff,
taking over at the De Anza 20-yard line. With Brown going
to the air for the first time in the game, though, the freshman
quarterback proved erratic despite his high-velocity throws.
Brown was 5-of-11 passing for just 49 yards on the day. And
after consecutive misfires to force fourth down, CSM
attempted a 38-yard field goal only to having placekicker
Jose Elizondo miss wide right.
De Anza scored its only points of the half with 15 seconds remaining when Pedro Comesana booted a 41-yard
field goal.
The Bulldogs would not score again until the fourth quarter, when Brown hit Willis on a secondary rout underneath a
left-side fly for a 23-yard touchdown pass.
De Anza answered with its only touchdown of the game.
Taking over at their own 39-yard line, the Dons got three
big plays, starting with a pass interference call on sophomore cornerback Keith Marcus to advance across midfield.
Johnson followed with completions of 23 and 24 yards
before scoring on a 2-yard bootleg run.
CSM punted the ball away after a three-and-out, and
Johnson again moved De Anza downfield with completions of
12, 8 and 28 yards. But, once inside the red zone, his fourth

Jem, Kasbah, Witch Hunter tank, Steve Jobs fizzles

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES It was a truly

outrageous weekend at the box
office, and not in a good way.
The pack of new releases proved
to be all out duds, some worse than
others,
leaving
room for
holdovers The Martian and
Goosebumps to stay in the top
spots with $15.9 and $15.5 million, respectively according to
Rentrak estimates Sunday. The
Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks Cold
War thriller Bridge of Spies also
held nicely in third place with $11
million.
Vin Diesels The Last Witch
Hunter tanked with $10.8 million, killing any hopes of a new
franchise. The Lionsgate film

opened in fourth place and cost a

reported $70 million to produce.
This is the latest disappointment
for Diesel who cant seem to find
consistent success outside of the
Fast & Furious franchise.
None of the weekends flops will
garner as much attention as Jem
and the Holograms, though, which
opened to $1.3 million to become
one of the worst debuts of all time
for a major studio movie opening in
over 2,000 locations. Based on the
1980s animated series, the film
opened on 2,413 screens, averaging $545 per screen, to take 15th
place.
The wide release numbers are
alarming, but it is worth noting
that Universal produced the PGrated Jem for only $5 million.
Overall, teens did not seem all that

the ingredient. The reporter was aware that
xylitol is found in chewing gum, but was
focusing on peanut butter, since he knew

to prevent dog owners from unknowingly

Bill Murrays Rock the

also cost three times as much as

antibiotic-resistant bacteria is
responsible for killing nearly
23,000 Americans a year and sickening another 2 million.
People are becoming conscious
and aware of the problem as more
publicity occurs and I think they
know we need to change our behavior, Hill said.

animals earned praise from many.

The California Public Interest
Group applauded Hills leadership
and was pleased to support the bill
once it set stronger parameters
around antibiotics used to prevent
diseases in animals that arent
sick, said Jason Pfeifle, a public
health advocate with CALPIRG.
We are hopeful that Californias
new law will set a model for other
states to follow and, with stronger
legislation in other states, then we
can begin to make significant
progress on curbing antibiotic
resistant bacteria, Pfeifle said.
Consumers and laws such as
Californias could help to reshape
the livestock industry and fast food
industry. This week, Subway
announced it would phase out
antibiotic-fed meats and earlier this
year, McDonalds said it would stop
serving chicken or poultry treated
with the drugs, Pfeifle said.
The marketplace is beginning
to change in that regard; more and
more consumers are demanding
food and meats that havent been

raised with antibiotics and because

of that, large fast food companies
like McDonalds and Subway are
beginning to meet consumer
demands. And those moves by
those companies will certainly put
additional pressure on the livestock industry, Pfeifle said.
The California Cattlemens
Association remained neutral on
the law and representatives noted
they support antibiotics being
used judiciously, said Justin
Oldfield, vice president of government relations with the association.
While industry practices must
change with new federal regulations requiring veterinary oversight for antibiotics administered
through
feed
and
water;
Californias law goes a step further
by regulating all antibiotics, such
as those administered through an
injection, Oldfield said.
Thats a pretty significant step.
No other state in the country will
have that type of regulation. Our
association does support all ranch-

ers having a relationship with a

large animal veterinarian. But
for those that do not and those that
live in very rural areas and may
have a hard time accessing pharmacies where these drugs are sold,
were concerned about having
antibiotics made available to them
on a timely basis, Oldfield said.
Ranchers will have to ensure
they have plans in place with their
veterinarians, particularly in
advance of certain seasons during
which cattle are more apt to
become ill, Oldfield said. For those
who have relied on their local feed
stores to buy antibiotics and may
be several hours away from pharmacies or vets, theyll undoubtedly
be impacted once the new law goes
into effect, Oldfield said.
Theres definitely going to be
an adjustment and thats why were
concerned about folks that are in
more rural areas, Oldfield said.
Were going to need to have a
plan, because letting animals suffer
or not dealing with those issues,
for us, thats not acceptable.

Hill agreed there are certain circumstances in which using antibiotics for preventative means, such
as after surgery, is reasonable
amongst both livestock and
humans.
While the Federal Food and Drug
Administration issued voluntary
measures on how antibiotics are
used in livestock in 2013, Hill said
its important to codify the rules.
Plus, it could ultimately improve
the way livestock are raised, he
added.
In many cases, its been argued
the reason they do use antibiotics
for preventative and prophylactic
use is because of the unsanitary living conditions for these animals
and thats promoting diseases and
microbial infections, Hill said.
So the fact that they cant use
antibiotics any longer, may cause a
healthier environment for the animals as well.

ty for residents.
In New York City, its generally
unlawful to rent an apartment for
less than 30 days unless the apartments resident also stays there,
but people do anyway. In May, the
city council of Santa Monica,
California, legalized home sharing the rental of an extra room
or couch but banned un-hosted
rentals for less than 30 days.
San Francisco had prohibited
rentals of less than 30 days, but in
February approved an ordinance to
legalize and regulate the practice.
Hosts must register with the city
and report how many nights they
rent their unit.
The coalition behind the measure, which includes landlord and
tenant associations, says the cur-

rent law is unenforceable. They

point to skimpy registration numbers for hosts: About 700 of an
estimated 5, 500 listings on
Airbnb alone.
The ballot measure would require
platforms, along with hosts, to
file quarterly reports on how many
nights a unit is rented. Airbnb and
other platforms can be fined up to
$1,000 a day if they list illegal
units.
Neighbors could sue hosts as
well as hosting platforms, collecting up to $1,000 a day in special damages.
Airbnb says the measure would
encourage frivolous lawsuits by
neighbors motivated by money.
Airbnb spokesman Christopher
Nulty said the measure itself does

nothing to address housing affordability.

On Wednesday, Airbnb rolled out
billboard and bus stop ads around
San Francisco cheekily suggesting ways the city could use the
$12 million it has collected in
hotel taxes: Keep the library
open later and build more bike
lanes. Annoyed tax-paying citizens took to social media. The
backlash was so strong the company was forced to apologize for
its wrong tone.
Michael Rouppet was evicted
from his rent-controlled home in
September 2012, after a new
owner bought the 1909 building.
He learned from former neighbors
that his place near the Painted
Ladies Victorians had been turned

into a short-term rental. In June,

he sued the owner, alleging violations of rent laws.
I would ask how many San
Francisco residents have to be
evicted to see the wisdom in regulating the industry, he said. The
landlords lawyer did not return
phone calls and email for comment.
On the flip side is Bruce
Bennett, who rents out a room in
the 3-bedroom midcentury modern
he owns with his husband. The
money allows the couple to pay
for emergency expenses, and
guests are able to enjoy a neighborhood far from tourist centers.
I, as a homeowner, should
absolutely have that right to do
with my property as I see fit,
Bennett said.

ROAD
Continued from page 1
glad the plan covering the expansive
road was broken down into smaller sections and though they city had hoped
for the TA grant, there was significant
competition for limited funds.
Its disappointing to hear we didnt
get the grant. But the Ralston Plan was
cleverly put together in sections so
that you can fund different pieces at different points in time and still get the
whole thing done, Reed said.
Now in Phase III of the Ralston
Avenue Corridor Study, the long-term
plan involved community outreach and
multiple workshops to try to address
the various users such as drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists each with different needs. The citys main east-west
thoroughfare was studied by breaking it
into three distinct segments with varying issues such as slope, surrounding
environment like schools or businesses, lack of bike lanes and more.
Further community outreach will be
held once staff and consultants make

PERIL
Continued from page 1
home.
The Housing Authority approved the
request and Pritchetts rent went up to
$2,350 a month. Her Section 8 voucher is worth about $1,500 a month and
with the recent rent hike, all of her
income is now going toward housing.
The Housing Authority approves the
requests as a way to incentivize landlords to stay in the program, said
Shirley Gibson, an attorney with
Legal Aid Society.
But the broad discretion the Housing
Authority has to raise the rents and
pass the cost off entirely to the tenant
undercuts the purpose of the program,
Gibson said.
She calls the program close to useless, especially as the county grapples with a jobs to housing imbalance
that has led to skyrocketing rents.
The average rent for a one-bedroom
apartment in the county is now
$2,516, a 50.2 percent increase in four
years, according to a housing indicators report released in July.
In a sit-down with the Daily Journal
in July, the then director of the
Housing Authority, Bill Lowell, said
residents in the county with Section 8
housing vouchers are being pushed out
of the rental market by prospective
tenants who have plenty of cash in
hand.
With fewer landlords accepting
Section 8 housing vouchers and the

more progress on breaking down the

extensive plan into smaller segments.
Yet as certain improvements may affect
another segment of the road, its almost
as if theyre trying to piece together a
puzzle while under the time constraints
of potential grants, Oskoui said.
Thats the challenge, its not uniform and weve got to start looking at
these distinct packages so we can compete for those types of grants. If its a
bike improvement, it has to be geared
toward those elements of the corridor.
But weve also got to make sure it functions within the corridor and how its
laid out, Oskoui said. We cant just
put in bike lanes, because that doesnt
necessarily work unless we do other
improvements related to roadway
geometry [also]. As much as specific
grants might come up, weve got to
have a plan that meets those grant
requirements to be competitive.
The city was successful in securing a
grant
from
the
Metropolitan
Transportation Commission to help
fund nearly $400,000 in pedestrian
improvements near Notre Dame de
Namur University, Oskoui said.
Outside of relying on the limited
number of highly competitive grants,

Oskoui said the city may also consider

working with various entities such as
the
Belmont-Redwood
Shores
Elementary School District. As the district plans to expand certain schools
nearby, it will likely be required to mitigate the increased traffic through road
improvements, Oskoui said.
Were going to be looking at a combination of funding options. Its a big
project and were going to have to work
at incrementally. The TA grant was really kind of a shot in the dark. But we
felt it was something we should at least
go for, Oskoui said. Be that as it may,
theyll be opportunities coming up in
the next couple years.
While fully implementing the plan
may take years, Oskoui and Stone noted
having a guideline for improvements
when grants do become available will
make the city more competitive.
Ultimately, its about ensuring everyone, whether theyre biking to school
or driving to work, can more safely traverse Ralston Avenue, Stone said.
I continue to be optimistic that we
can find a way to implement this excellent plan to improve safety and traffic
flow on Ralston, Stone said.

availability of rentals being virtually

zero in the area, Housing Authority
employees can have some long
depressing days listening to the woes
of families who cannot find a place to
live and the landlords who are rejecting them, Lowell said in July.
The county has roughly 4, 200
vouchers with 800 of them being in
the Move-to-Work program, which
provides case management and longterm goal setting for participants.
The Housing Authority received
another 1,356 applications for rental
assistance in the last quarter for a federal Housing and Urban Development
Move-to-Work program.
In total, the county has received
23,477 applications for the self-sufficiency program since it was expanded
in January 2014.
The Housing Authority is spread
thin, Gibson said.
A hot rental market, she said, is not
the place for people on fixed incomes
to be competing for housing with a
modest subsidy.
With Pritchetts eviction notice, she
may also be in jeopardy of losing her
voucher.
Only one in four with a voucher have
a chance to find a new residence if they
must move from their current location
for any reason, Gibson said.
The vouchers also expire if they are
not used.
Pritchett is bracing for the new
owner to seek a court order to have her
removed. Gibson will try to get the
landlord to allow Pritchett to stay until
she finds a new home.
Its frustrating. The best I can do is

hold her hand and hope, Gibson said

about her client.
Relocation assistance will also do
little to help Pritchetts situation, she
said.
It will not help Pritchett find permanent housing, she said.
The vouchers, authorized by Section
8 of the Federal Housing Act and provided by the U. S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, subsidize private rentals for low-income
people. Qualifying families must pay
30 percent of the rent and the vouchers
generally pay the rest.
In San Francisco, it is illegal to discriminate against Section 8 voucher
holders. That is not the case in San
Mateo County, however,
The state forbids discrimination
against an individuals source of
income but explicitly excludes
Section 8 vouchers from the law,
Gibson said.
Its a flawed system, she said.
Pritchett is not the only one going
through this either, she said.
It is becoming more the norm,
Gibson said.
About half of the countys voucher
holders are elderly or have disabilities
and the vouchers expire in five years,
although they can be extended.
When one of the vouchers become
available through turnover, applicants
are selected through a lottery system
and the average wait list time to get a
voucher once approved is about three
years.
Lowell has since retired as the
Housing Authoritys director, replaced
by Ken Cole.

Case Number: 126235
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Parker James Gillespie
Jr aka Parker J. Gillespie Jr, aka Parker
Gillespie Jr. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by Paige McKerral-Hanks in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Paige McKerral-Hanks be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: DEC 1, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
