Cities, county consider building regional ice rink

Collaboration begins on effort to support skating community in San Mateo County
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Ice skating in San Mateo County

could receive a wave of political
momentum as officials from multiple jurisdictions have begun collaborating on ways to address the
communitys pleas for a facility
since two rinks shut down.

Enthusiasts have fought for

years to reopen the shuttered
Bridgepointe Shopping Center ice
rink and the recent closure of
Belmont Iceland forged a greater
call for action.
Although the circumstances
around closure of the two rinks
varied, officials have found common ground in their desire to con-

sider creating a new rink.

This week, officials with the
county Board of Supervisors and
the cities of San Mateo, Belmont
and Foster City met to discuss
what it would take to build a
regional ice rink.
The informal meeting included
supervisors Dave Pine and Carole
Groom, San Mateo Mayor Joe

Goethals, Belmont Councilman

Warren Lieberman, Foster City
Councilman Sam Hindi and community advocates.
I think theres a huge demand
for an ice rink. Its a unique amenity for the region, Goethals said.
If we could have an ice skating
facility for the Peninsula, I know
parents would love it, kids would

love it. I just dont want to see

something like that die when we
have such a great history here.
While having only started preliminary discussions, Goethals
said we are in the phase where I
would say we are desperately trying to identify a piece of property.

Nonprofit Jasper Ridge Farm welcomes visitors to new site

Its a place where children with

life-threatening illnesses, families struggling with homelessness
and military veterans go for an
emotionally comforting session
with a furry companion. And for
the first time, the nonprofit Jasper
Ridge Farm has a permanent
home.
This Saturday, the public at large
is invited to an open house celebration at the Portola Valley farm
where the nonprofit has constructed a new facility and is now housing its friendly barnyard animals.
The nonprofits mission of service to others began seven years

ago
when
Ex ecut i v e
Director Wendy
Mattes saw the
positive effects
of bringing a
miniature pony
to comfort a 12year-old
girl
Wendy Mattes suffering from a
terminal brain
tumor. Years later, the programs
have grown to assisting more than
1,500 children and veterans every
year, Mattes said.
Having herself been diagnosed
with multiple sclerosis almost 20
years ago, Mattes said she left a
corporate career and became a
horse riding instructor before

starting the nonprofit.

I felt like it was really time to
give back to others. So I thought
about making a difference in the
lives of children. While I could not
cure them of the life-threatening
illnesses, I couldnt change the
homeless childrens situation, but
for a very short time I could share
with them just the unconditional
love and acceptance of an animal
and help them to be care-free kids,
even for a short time, Mattes
said. Before we knew it, we had
more requests for visits than we
were able to manage with the number of animals we had, so we needed to expand.

SAN FRANCISCO Regulators

on Thursday proposed leaving
more water for struggling native
fish and pumping less to farms
from the overtapped San Joaquin
River system, in what could be one
of the most significant overhauls
of water allocation this century in
California.
The change is overdue and vital
to salvaging salmon and other
native fish species in the Central
California farming region, said
Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the

state Water Resources Control

Board.
Current standards, last updated
in 1995, allow farms and cities to
divert 80 percent or more of the
water from tributaries of the lower
stretch of the river.
The proposal calls for leaving
40 percent of normal flow to help
more fish survive spawning and
their journey back and forth from
the Pacific Ocean on the southernmost native salmon run in the
nation.

Redwood City schools

face enrollment woes
Student population falls short of projections
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Redwood City Elementary

School District officials continue
to grapple with enrollment woes,
as a recent district report showed a
shrinking student population is
cause for financial concern.
The district Board of Trustees
addressed a report Wednesday,

Sept. 14, illustrating 130 fewer

students than expected enrolled in
local schools this year, likely
resulting in a $1.2 million loss of
daily attendance funds from the
state.
In a district already strapped for
cash, the reduced funding could
mean staffing adjustments at campuses where the enrollment

Sanchez Adobe
gets makeover
Groundbreaking takes place at Rancho Day Fiesta
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Pacificas annual Rancho Day Fiesta

Saturday will host a groundbreaking for a
renovation project at the historic Sanchez
Adobe.
The $1.57 million renovation project is
designed to make the 5-acre Sanchez Adobe
site in the Linda Mar neighborhood a
regional attraction and educational center.
Among the improvements is the conversion of the present rangers residence into a
new interpretive center, exterior restoration
of the adobe house and implementation of a
furnishing plan to return the interior of the
adobe house to its appearance as it was during its historic era in the 1840s.
The project also added new restrooms to
the site.
The Board of Supervisors approved $1.3
million for the renovation and the
Historical Association is committing
$200,000 toward the renovation.
Supervisor Don Horsley will conduct the
groundbreaking.
The county is proud to be part of developing a major historic site into a draw for
locals and visitors from around the world,
Horsley wrote in a statement. It is about
time that this site be recognized for its

Alleged dog killer appears in court
A man accused of killing his girlfriends 2-year-old dog
named Sprocket by allegedly lowering it into scalding liquid, made his first court appearance in San Mateo County
Superior Court Thursday.
Paul Souter has been charged with two felonies for inflicting harm on the animal and failing to provide care after the
April incident. Souter was arrested in Bend, Oregon, and
was extradited to San Mateo County.
Souter did not enter a plea and his case was continued to
Sept. 20, during which his attorney will also argue his
$100,000 bail should be reduced, according to Assistant
District Attorney Al Serrato.
Souters girlfriend Shelby Lujan has also been charged
with one felony count of animal cruelty for failing to provide care to her 2-year-old Maltese/poodle mix, or
Maltipoo. Lujan pleaded not guilty and is out on a $1,000
bail bond, according to prosecutors.
Lujan, 22, brought Sprocket to an emergency veterinary
clinic on May 1, about 12 days after she claimed it was
injured when a cup of boiling water accidentally spilled
onto the dogs crate, according to prosecutors.
The dog was suffering from third-degree burns on more
than 40 percent of its body and investigators with the
Peninsula Humane Society believe the burn pattern was
consistent with it being lowered or placed in scalding liquid. Although the emergency clinic attempted to save
Sprocket, the dog died a few hours later, according to prosecutors.
Lujan is due to return to court for Oct. 6 for a Superior
Court review.

Woman struck by car

High School, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
A silver Honda Fit was traveling east on Highway 84
when it struck another vehicle and went onto the gravel
shoulder where it hit a woman in her mid 50s.
The woman suffered head trauma and was unresponsive
when she was taken to Stanford Hospital, Montiel said.
The driver of the Honda went to Stanford Hospital with
lower back pain. CHP officers dont know yet why the
Honda driver went off the road.

Man arrested in

A 20-year-old Antioch man was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of committing a residential burglary in

Senate approves bill for water

projects and millions for Flint
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate

approved a $10 billion water projects
bill Thursday that includes emergency
funding for Flint, Michigan nearly
a year after officials declared a public
health emergency because of lead-contaminated water.
Senators approved the bill 95-3. The
measure now goes to the House, where
approval of a similar bill minus the
Flint provision is expected as soon
as next week.
The Senate measure would authorize
29 projects in 18 states for dredging,
flood control and other projects overseen by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
The bipartisan bill includes $100
million in grants and loans to replace
lead-contaminated pipes in Flint and
other cities with lead emergencies, as
well as $50 million to test water for
lead in schools and $70 million for
water infrastructure loans.
Michigans Democratic senators,
Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, welcomed the Flint measure, but said it
comes months too late, with city residents still using bottled water.
The people of Flint have waited way
too long for help from the state and
federal governments, Stabenow said.
This should never have happened.
And we know it happened because of

decisions made bad decisions at
the state level.
Flints drinking water became tainted when the city switched from the
Detroit water system and began drawing from the Flint River in April 2014
to save money. The impoverished city
was under state control at the time.
Regulators failed to ensure the water
was treated properly and lead from
aging pipes leached into the water supply. Elevated lead levels have been
found in at least 325 people, including
221 children. Lead contamination has
been linked to learning disabilities
and other problems.

Senators have twice reached a bipartisan deal to help Flint but were
blocked after Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah,
objected. Lee voted against the bill,
saying it increases spending without
offsetting budget cuts.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., chairman of the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee, said the
water-projects bill was crucial, not just
for Flint but for the rest of the nation.
Among other projects, the bill
would authorize $1.9 billion to help
restore Floridas Everglades and combat algae blooms that have fouled the
states beaches and rivers.

Suspicious backpack fire on 280

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The San Mateo County Sheriffs bomb squad investigated

a suspicious backpack that caught fire on Interstate 280
near Redwood City, according to the California Highway
Patrol.
The fire was first reported around 6:43 p.m. on northbound Interstate 280 near Edgewood Road.
The CHP said the fire was out, but the backpack needed to
be X-rayed to ensure that it could be safely removed from the
road.
A Sig-alert was issued at 7:04 p.m. for all northbound
lanes of the road.
Traffic was diverted at Farm Hill Boulevard and motorists
were advised to avoid the area.

Behind health laws growing pains, more serious problems?

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar

where most consumers qualify for

subsidies. More customers would
help stabilize premiums.
Prognosis: Slower progress;
risk of relapse.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama told insurers this
week his health care overhaul has
had some growing pains. But with
premiums rising and marquee
insurers bailing, could the real
diagnosis be failure to thrive?
The medical term refers to when
patients, often youngsters but
also adults, fail to achieve or
maintain proper weight. This is
the fourth election cycle in which
the Affordable Care Act has been
in play, struggling for political
traction and a healthy level of
acceptance from a divided public.
Progress has not been without
challenges, Obama wrote insurers. Most new enterprises have
growing pains and opportunities
for improvement. He asked for
help with the fourth sign-up season, which starts Nov. 1.
Heres a look at key indicators
for the health of Obamacare,
now and in the future:

UNINSURED: IN REMISSION,
BUT NO FULL CURE
The uninsured rate is 8.6 percent, a historic low, according to
the most up-to-date government
numbers. That means at least 21
million fewer people uninsured
since the law passed in 2010,
reversing decades-long coverage
losses. Experts credit the law for
nearly all the progress.
Thats to be expected when the
government requires most people
to have health insurance, provides tens of billions of dollars a

Covered California small business prices to jump 5.9 percent

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Small business employees who get health

coverage through the Covered
California health insurance
exchange will see an average
price increase of 5.9 percent next
year.

The figure announced Thursday

affects about 28,000 people who
work for companies with up to
100 employees.
The 5.9 percent rate increase is
smaller than last years increase
of 7.2 percent for small businesses. Its also smaller than the 13.2
percent increase in average pre-

miums for Covered Californias

employees can then pick from

year to subsidize premiums, and

imposes fines on holdouts
remaining uninsured. The law
also bars insurers from turning

away those in poor health.

The concern now is that so
many remain uninsured about
27 million people. Of those, the

administration has estimated that

nearly half would be eligible for
private coverage through insurance markets like HealthCare.gov,

So far, the Affordable Care Act

has actually cost taxpayers less
than what nonpartisan congressional experts estimated when it
passed. Thats because fewer people than expected are covered, and
also the average subsidy has been
lower than originally projected.
But the story on costs looks different from the perspective of the
11 million customers in the laws
insurance markets. Premiums in
many communities are expected to
go up significantly for 2017. Not
a big worry, says the administration, because subsidies will also
rise, shielding most consumers.
Yet some may have to switch
plans, or settle for a higher
deductible.
Medicare chief Andy Slavitt,
who oversees the health care law,
says part of the problem is that
insurers set their premiums too
low and are now having to correct
that. Once these one-time effects
kick in, our expectation is we will
see a very normalized rate of
growth, Slavitt said.
But if higher premiums cause
some consumers to drop out, or
turn off prospective customers,
the remaining pool will be more
expensive to cover. That could
start a vicious cycle.
The cost of covering lowincome beneficiaries through the
laws Medicaid expansion also has
increased faster than expected.

Obama: Oceans key to protecting planet from climate change

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Creating the

Atlantic Oceans first marine
national monument is a needed
response to dangerous climate
change, oceanic dead zones and
unsustainable fishing practices,
President Barack Obama said
Thursday.
The new Northeast Canyons and

Seamounts Marine National

Monument consists of nearly
5,000 square miles of underwater
canyons and mountains off the
New England coast. Its the 27th
time that Obama has created or
enlarged a national monument.
If were going to leave our children with oceans like the ones that
were left to us, then were going to
have to act and were going to
have to act boldly, Obama said at

a State Department conference.

More than 20 countries represented at the meeting were also
announcing the creation of their
own marine protected areas.
Monument designations come
with restrictions on certain activities. The White House said the designation will lead to a ban on
commercial fishing, mining and
drilling, though a seven-year
exception will occur for the lob-

ster and red crab industries.

Others, such as whiting and squid
harvesters, have 60 days to transition out. Recreational fishing will
be allowed within the monument.
Supporters of the new monument say protecting large swaths
of ocean from human stresses can
sustain important species and
reduce the toll of climate change.
Fishermen worry it will become
harder for them to earn a living as

a result of Obamas move.

This is deplorable, said Grant
Moore, president of the Atlantic
Offshore
Lobstermens
Association, in describing the
designation.
White House officials said the
administration listened to industrys concerns, and noted the monument is smaller than originally
proposed and contains a transition period for companies.

Hillary Clinton speaks at a campaign rally in Greensboro, N.C.

Reflective Clinton returns to

campaign trail after pneumonia
By Julie Pace and Lisa Lerer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO, N.C. Back on

the campaign trail, a reflective
Hillary Clinton said Thursday her
three-day, doctor-mandated break
gave her new perspective on why
shes running to be president. She
vowed to close her campaign against
Donald Trump by giving Americans
something to vote for, not just
against.
Clinton made no apologies for
keeping her pneumonia diagnosis
from the public until a video emerged
showing her stumbling and being
supported by aides. She also repeatedly sidestepped questions about when
her running mate Tim Kaine was
informed.
An upbeat Clinton walked onstage
at a rally in North Carolina to James
Browns song, I Feel Good. She said
that while sitting at home this week
was pretty much the last place I
wanted to be, the time helped clarify
how she wants to close her campaign

against Trump.
Were offering ideas, not insults,
she said in a jab at her Republican
rival. A plan that will make a real difference in peoples lives, not prejudice and paranoia.
The rally marked Clintons first
public appearance since Sunday, when
she abruptly left a 9/11 memorial
service after getting dizzy and dehydrated. She had been diagnosed with
pneumonia Friday, but the campaign
informed the public only after the
video of an ill Clinton emerged.
The incident prompted fresh questions about both candidates openness regarding their health. Trump
released a new letter from his doctor
Thursday detailing his blood pressure, cholesterol and medications,
one day after Clinton made public a
letter from her physician with similar
information. Both candidates doctors
declared them fit to serve as president.
Trumps letter said the Republican
is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds giving
him a body mass index falling into
the overweight range. The 70-year-

old has blood pressure of 116 over 70,

and his total cholesterol is 169, his
doctor says.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of
100 over 70, and her total cholesterol is 189, according to her doctor.
Her letter made no mention of her
weight, a key part of a medical exam;
nor did a similar letter released last
year.
Trumps team took a swipe at
Clintons brief absence from the campaign trail in a statement accompanying the new health information.
We are pleased to disclose all of
the test results which show that Mr.
Trump is in excellent health, and has
the stamina to endure uninterrupted
the rigors of a punishing and
unprecedented presidential campaign
and, more importantly, the singularly
demanding job of president of the
United States, the campaign said.
Until Thursday, the only information on Trumps health had come in a
widely ridiculed letter from his doctor
declaring he would be the healthiest
person to ever serve as president.

NEW YORK Donald Trump attached a price tag for the

first time Thursday to an economic vision promising what
many economists say is impossible: lower taxes, a dramatic
expansion in some federal programs and a
slimmer government running a smaller
deficit.
In a speech to the Economic Club of New
York, Trump said that his plan a mix of
tax cuts, regulation elimination and new
spending would reduce the nations tax
burden by $4.4 trillion over 10 years and
create 25 million new jobs.
Trump and his advisers say that would
Donald Trump
lead to booming economic growth of as
much as 4 percent a year, which would make up for most of
that lost tax revenue along with an infusion of new money
from trade, energy and regulatory reforms.
The rest would come from almost $1 trillion in spending
cuts made over the next decade, which Trump would accomplish by cutting one penny from every dollar from certain
segments of the government each year.
My plan will embrace the truth that people flourish under a
minimum government burden and will tap into the incredible,
unrealized potential of our workers and their dreams, Trump
said.
For Trumps plans to succeed, they would have to overcome
forces in the economy, such as rising automation, an aging
population and low-wage competition overseas, that have led
even conservative economists to call 4 percent growth an
improbable goal.
The U.S. economy is already creating 2.5 million jobs a
year, the same pace promised by Trump over the next decade.
Earlier in his campaign, Trump proposed a $10 trillion tax
cut over 10 years that was so large and costly that several
Republican economists laughed when asked about it. He later
tacked on a series of spending proposals that promised even
larger deficits, including a push against illegal immigration
that analysts estimated could cost up to $600 billion, a $500
billion investment in the nations infrastructure and a vow to
restore $450 billion of existing cuts in military spending.
Trump took the budgetary criticism seriously, and made a
case that it actually adds up, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who
was John McCains economic policy director in the 2008
campaign and now is president of the American Action Forum.
Holtz-Eakin said that Trumps economic plans are now
roughly equivalent to those of Democratic nominee Hillary
Clinton, at least in scope, namely by proposing several
ambitious initiatives and making a plausible, though not necessarily conclusive, argument on how to pay for them.

Safety recommendations unfulfilled

seven years after Flight 1549 accident
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON More than seven years

after an airline captain saved 155 lives by
ditching his crippled airliner in the Hudson
River, now the basis of a new movie, most
of the safety recommendations stemming
from the accident havent been carried out.
Of the 35 recommendations made by the
National Transportation Safety Board in
response to the incident involving US
Airways Flight 1549, only six have been
successfully completed, according to an
Associated Press review of board records.
Fourteen of the recommendations issued to
the Federal Aviation Administration and its
European counterpart, EASA, are marked by
the NTSB as closed-unacceptable. One
has been withdrawn, and the rest remain
unresolved.
The movie Sully, which opened in theaters last week, celebrates how veteran
pilot Chesley Sully Sullenberger, played
by Tom Hanks, along with his copilot,
flight attendants, air traffic controllers,
ferry boat operators and first responders did
their jobs with professionalism and competence, averting a potential tragedy. The
plane lost thrust in both engines after colliding with a flock of Canada geese shortly
after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport in New
York. No one died, and only five people
were seriously injured.
The FAA was very upset back then that
we made any recommendations at all,
recalled Tom Haueter, who was the NTSBs
head of major accident investigations at
the time. They thought this was a success
story.
But to investigators, the event turned up
problems. This could happen again and we
want to make sure that if it does, there are

river as an emergency crew attempt to hoist it with a crane in New York on Jan. 17, 2009.
some better safety measures in place,
Haueter said.
Recommendations that got an unacceptable response deal with pilot training,
directions for pilots facing the loss of
power in both engines, equipping planes
with life rafts and vests and making it easier for passengers to use them, among other
issues.
The untold story of the Miracle on the
Hudson was the part luck played in preventing catastrophe on that freezing afternoon in January 2009. The wind chill was 2
degrees and the water temperature was 41
degrees, raising the risk of cold shock, a
condition in which people lose the use of

their arms and legs, usually drowning within 5 minutes.

It was sheer chance that the plane, an
Airbus A320, was equipped with rafts, life
vests and seat cushions that can be used for
flotation. The equipment is only required
on extended overwater flights, and not
on Flight 1549s New York to Charlotte,
North Carolina, route.
The NTSB recommended requiring life
vests and flotation cushions on all planes,
regardless of the route. But the FAA
responded that it was leaving that up to the
airlines.
The board also recommended that vest
storage be redesigned for easier retrieval.

The NTSBs investigation found that only

10 passengers retrieved their life vests and
not all of them put them on correctly.
Despite some changes by the FAA, the
board says it still takes more than a few
seconds to retrieve vests, which is as much
time passengers are willing to take when
exiting a plane filling with water.
Because Flight 1549s descent was faster
than the plane is designed to handle for a
ditching, the underside of the aircraft was
damaged when it hit the water. The two rear
rafts were submerged and unusable. That left
only the two forward life rafts, which are
designed to hold a maximum of 110 people
well short of the 155 on board. Many of
the passengers wound up standing on the
wings as the plane gradually sank into the
river.
The NTSB recommended changing the
location of rafts and slides that double as
rafts to ensure capacity for all passengers,
since its unlikely the rear rafts would be
available. The FAA rejected that, saying
that if Sullenberger had followed Airbus
directions on descent speeds for ditching,
the rear rafts would have been usable. The
NTSB replied that the ability of pilots to
achieve those descent speeds has never
been tested and cant be relied on.
Some passengers wound up using the
inflated ramps as rafts even though theyre
not designed for that. But passengers
werent able to release the ramps from the
plane, running the risk that the ramps
would be pulled underwater along with it.
The NTSB recommended requiring quickrelease attachments for the ramps. The FAA
rejected the advice, saying its analysis
showed that the attachments were likely to
be fully or partially underwater. NTSB said
its investigation showed that wasnt the
case.

Griffin, Kane for Sequoia Healthcare District

or more than a decade, every

election for members of the
Sequoia Healthcare District
Board of Directors is about its mission in the past, now and into the
future. And this election in 2016 is no
different.
Running for re-election are longtime incumbents Kim Grifn and
Kathleen Kane. Challenging them are
Harland Harrison and Lois Garcia,
whose sole philosophy is that the
district should not exist. They are following the lead of Jack Hickey who,
for 14 years, has made it his mission
as an elected member of the board to
dissolve the district because it no
longer serves its original purpose of
ensuring a hospital for the area it
serves.
Founded in 1946, the Sequoia
Hospital District was formed to build
and operate Sequoia Hospital. The
hospitals operation was turned over
to Catholic Healthcare West, now
Dignity Health, in 1996 and an agreement was reached about a decade later
for a new hospital. The district has
since been renamed Sequoia
Healthcare District and distributes
roughly $9 million a year to various
organizations its board of directors
believe fulll the health care needs for
the people from San Mateo south to

Editorial
Portola Valley. In doing so, the district has remade itself into a governmental foundation of sorts, providing
money for programs such as school
nurses, community debrillators and
dental assistance.
Throughout it all, Hickey has
fought the district at every turn
because he believes it should not
exist. His cohorts share the philosophy and have relied on it as the sole
plank of their platform. But while
Hickey has been able to retain his
seat, he has been unable to get likeminded people on the board and there
has been a certain lack of productivity
because of it.
So once again, the crux of this election is not whether the board has been
doing a good job in providing money
to various health care services, or on
what it should focus in the future, but
rather if the district should exist. Its
tiring for many, but Hickey is committed to the cause regardless of his
lack of popularity with other board
members or even members of the
community.
Time and again, we have proposed
that rather than just being an elected
thorn in the districts side, that he

take the argument to the people

through an initiative process to see if
voters actually want the district dissolved. Voters have yet to be presented with that option, so what we have
now is a sort of ad hoc referendum
through two candidates who care not
what the district does, or will do, but
rather what they want it not to do.
Grifn and Kane support the districts funding of meals on wheels
programs, support for Samaritan
Houses free clinic in Redwood City
and working with Apple Tree Dental
to provide services to the poor. It
would be nice to get into a discussion
about future needs, including the
aging population and necessary services for seniors with low incomes as
that only seems to growing.
However, the discussion remains
trenched in the basest of base existential arguments.
Hickeys tenacity is admirable, if
only it seemed to have any modicum
of success for more than 10 years. We
would rather focus on the merits of the
candidates ideas about the present and
future and determine ways to best provide services to this ever-changing
community. Thats why we support
Grifn and Kane, who show a real passion for the work they do and are willing to work for progress.

Just cause eviction: Good
concept, terrible policy
Editor,
I am deeply concerned that voters
do not have the necessary information to make an informed decision
about Measure Q in San Mateo and
Measure R in Burlingame this
November. I am a tenant and a property manager in San Mateo County, so I
believe I have a balanced view.
I am most concerned about the just
cause eviction clause in these measures, because if I did not know better,
I would vote for it: landlords must
have a good reason to evict tenants,
sounds fair. Unfortunately, this is not
how it works in practice. After managing property in San Francisco for
several years, I have enough rsthand
experience to know that the consequences of just cause eviction can be
devastating.
Most tenants, like most rental
property owners, are good people.
But occasionally, you get a bad tenant. Someone who is extremely loud
or drives recklessly or sublets to
strangers, or even engages in violent
or threatening behavior. Just cause
eviction puts these tenants in a position of real power, because the legal

and expensive. It is NOT as simple as

I do not think tenants should be

Housing: A complex issue

Editor,
In the letter Long-term housing
solutions, in Sept. 7 edition of the

current housing crisis as a multifaceted problem. I believe there is a
lot of wisdom in that, and I believe,
as the writer suggested, a problem
this complex requires multiple solutions.

2014 there were 55,000 new jobs created in San Mateo County and only
2,000 new housing units. The severe
imbalance between jobs and housing
creation explains why home prices
and rents have risen so steeply in the
past few years. Yes, we need to create
new housing, but the reality is that
this will take time to accomplish.
In the meantime, what about our
neighbors who are at risk for displacement due to rising rent costs?
Do we want to be a community that
overlooks this crisis? Additional
solutions of rent stabilization and
just cause eviction protections are
reasonable ways to stabilize our community as well. Measure Q enables
families to remain in their homes and
protects them from the unfair and life
disrupting displacement that has been
taking place. In the face of a complex
and multi-pronged problem, it is not
appropriate to think in terms of one
solution or another, as many advocates of new construction tend to do.
Rather than looking upon the solutions as an either/or, the problem
requires a both/and collaboration.

Child care shortage

cries for attention
By Dave Pine and Kitty Lopez

ou cant go far these days without hearing heated

discussions about the areas affordable housing
crisis and ever worsening trafc congestion. These
are important and interrelated issues that require cross-sector solutions. But missing from the conversation is the
connection between these problems and the severe shortage of child care and early learning programs for children
under the age of 5.
Many people regard child care as a
social issue. Yet it has signicant links
to housing, employment and transportation in terms of land use planning and
community development. With the market not able to meet the need, child care
should be considered a public infrastructure that requires community support and
investment.
Dave Pine
We participate in the San Mateo
County Early Care and Education
Facilities Task Force, a group of leaders
from various public and private sector
organizations working to address the
shortage of facilities for quality early
care and education programs. Findings
from a recent needs assessment show a
shortfall of 10,789 child care spaces in
the county 32 percent of demand is
not being met and projections show
Kitty Lopez
this gap increasing as the population
grows. And to make matters worse, this year the owners of
four San Mateo County child care sites have reported they
are facing closure or displacement due primarily to the insatiable demand for real estate, resulting in a potential loss of
259 spaces at a time when 68 percent of the countys facilities have waiting lists.
Compounding the problem for many families is the high
cost of child care and where it is located. Parents are prime
members of the workforce, and some families are spending
approximately 31 percent to 34 percent of their net income
on child care. In addition, many parents who take their
children to and from existing care facilities are unable to
nd sites close to their home or work. At a recent task force
meeting, one parent spoke about residing within blocks of
her ofce but having to drive 45 minutes or more both
before and after work to drop off and pick up her child each
day adding to trafc congestion and its associated
adverse environmental impacts.
What are some of the barriers to increasing child care
facilities in the county? Fierce competition for real estate,
limited nancing for child care facilities construction and
complicated planning and permitting processes are just a
few of the challenges facing child care providers. The facility shortage caused by these barriers has resulted in the
county turning down approximately $1 million annually in
state funding because there is simply no room to accommodate additional children. This missed opportunity would
support the 4,600 children residing in the county who qualify for subsidized care but arent able to nd a space in a
child care program.
The task force is considering a variety of strategies and
tactics to address the child care facility shortage, including
reusing and re-designating existing space, incorporating
child care into new development, removing zoning and permitting barriers, securing public nancing for new child
care facilities and creating child care-friendly policies in
cities general plans. We need all sectors of our community
helping to ensure that children have quality care.
As you continue discussions with coworkers, neighbors,
friends or family about the skyrocketing cost of housing or
excruciating trafc, we urge you to advocate for quality
child care in the same way you would support improved
roads, expanded public transit and more affordable housing.
If local city councils and county supervisors hear a consistent message in favor of policies and investments that will
increase the availability of child care then new options will
be developed.
Quality child care must be part of our civic dialogue to
ensure that our families are supported and our communities
thrive.

Stocks jump as Apple pulls tech companies up

By Marley Jay

NEW YORK U. S. stocks

changed course again Thursday
and climbed as Apple led a big
gain for technology companies
and energy companies recovered
some of their recent losses.
Investors looked over a series of
mixed economic reports as they

health of the economy.
Technology companies made
the largest gains as Apple rose for
the fourth consecutive day. Its up
12 percent this week on growing
optimism about early sales of its
newest iPhones.
Energy companies bounced

the price of oil rose only a small

Flurry of tepid economic data could lead Fed to delay hike

By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON U.S. factory

output fell, consumers cut back at
retailers and wholesale prices
went nowhere in August, the latest
evidence of a less-than-robust
economy. The weak numbers could
give the Federal Reserve further
reason to hold off on raising interest rates when it meets next week.
All the data seem to say the
same thing: Not much is happen-

ing in the economy, said Joel

Naroff of Naroff Economic
Advisors. We have no inflation,
not a lot of consumer spending,
not much production ... The data
dont demand that the Fed do anything right now.
The Fed reported Thursday that
factory production fell 0.4 percent
last month. Overall industrial production which combines manufacturing, mines and utilities
dropped by an identical amount.
A second report Thursday sug-

gested that the factory weakness

may be extending into September.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York said that manufacturing in
New York shrank in September for
a second straight month. New
orders and shipments fell sharply.
Earlier this month, a survey by
the
Institute
for
Supply
Management showed that U. S.
manufacturing contracted in
August for the first time since
February. Still, the Philadelphia
Fed reported Thursday that its

manufacturing gauge climbed in

September for a second straight
month, suggesting greater factory
output in the mid-Atlantic region.
In reporting its closely watched
measure of retail spending, the
Commerce Department said that
retail sales fell in August for the
first time in five months.
Consumers spent less on building
materials, furniture and cars.
Americans did spend more at
clothing retailers, restaurants and
bars.

Oracle misses Street first quarter forecasts

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REDWOOD CITY Oracle

Corp. shares slipped in afterhours trading Thursday after the
software company posted disappointing quarterly profit and revenue.
The Redwood City-based company said it earned a profit of

$1.83 billion, or 43 cents per

share, in its fiscal first quarter.
Earnings, adjusted for amortization costs and stock option
expense, were 55 cents per share.
The results missed Wall Street
expectations.
The average estimate of 15 analysts
surveyed by
Zacks
Investment Research was for

earnings of 58 cents per share.

The business software maker
posted revenue of $8.61 billion
in the period, which also fell
short of Street forecasts. Eleven
analysts surveyed by Zacks
expected $8.72 billion.
A year earlier Oracle posted net
income of $1.75 billion, or 40
cents per share, on revenue of

$8.45 billion.
After the release of the report,
Oracles stock slipped $1.34, or
3 percent, to $39.52.
Through the close of Thursdays
regular-session trading, Oracle
shares have increased 12 percent
since the beginning of the year,
while the Standard & Poors 500
index has increased 5 percent.

panies also rose. Microsoft

gained 93 cents, or 1.7 percent,
to $57.19 and Intel picked up 94
cents, or 2.6 percent, to $36.56.
Strong gains for technology
and health care companies have
the Nasdaq on pace for its best
week since late June.
Benchmark U.S. crude rose 33
cents to $43.91 per barrel in New
York. It fell almost 6 percent in
the last two days. Brent crude,
used to price international oils,
added 74 cents, or 1.6 percent, to
$46. 59 a barrel in London.
Among energy stocks, Marathon
Petroleum rose $1.87, or 4.5 percent, to $43. 74 and Chevron
gained $1.08, or 1.1 percent, to
$99.50.
Investors pored over a series of
economic reports. The Labor
Department said producer prices
fell in August as gas and food
prices declined. Lower producer
prices reduce inflation, and the
Fed has said it wants to see evidence inflation is edging upward
before it raises rates. Inflation
has remained consistently low in
recent years.

Business brief
Truckers warn speed caps will
cause crashes, jam highways
DETROIT Truckers are warning
that a government plan to electronically limit the speed of tractortrailers will lead to highway traffic
jams and possibly an increase in
deadly run-ins with cars.
More than 150 people, most
identifying themselves as independent truckers, have filed comments recently with the government about the proposed rule,
unveiled last month by two federal
agencies. There were only a few
comments in favor.
The government has proposed
requiring electronic speed limiters
on all trucks and buses over 26,000
pounds (11,794 kilograms) manufactured after the regulation goes
into effect. Speeds could be limited
to 60, 65 or 68 miles per hour
(96.56, 104.6, or 109.43 kilometers per hour) when the rule is finalized after a comment period that
ends Nov. 7.

Woodside looks to keep rolling

Game of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The impact Woodside senior Marcelous

Chester-Riley has every time he touches the
ball is no secret. Despite his 302 all-purpose yards in last Fridays 40-34 upset of
Hillsdale, it was his defensive heroics that
preserved the win.
A cornerback on the defensive side of the
ball, Chester-Riley produced a touchdownsaving tackle in the red zone on a nearbreakaway sweep play on Hillsdales final
possession of the game. The Wildcats ultimately stifled the potential game-winning
drive to earn their third straight win to start
the season.
Having scored 109 points in three games,
Woodside plays its final non-league warmup before the start of Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division play, hosting
Christopher-Gilroy at 7 p. m. The two
teams, who have never played before, are
fairly evenly matched despite Christophers
1-2 start, according to Woodside head coach
Justin Andrews.
We dont put so much emphasis on their
record or our records, Andrews said. The
teams theyve lost to are some good, heavyhitting team. And theyve got some good
athleticism that jumps out. Its going to be
a good game.
Indeed, Christophers two losses have
come to Live Oak and Carmel, two teams
that have posted a combined record of 5-0
this season. The Cougars are coached by
second-year head coach Jubenal Rodriguez,
who took over midseason in 2015 for Tim
Pierleoni, who founded the program in
2009.
Rodriguez has had a tough go of it through
his young career. The Cougars went winless
through six games in Monterey Bay
Gabilan Division play last year. He has just
two career non-league wins to his credit thus
far. Christopher, however, is two years
removed from its first-ever outright league
title.
The matchup came to be late in the schedule-making process. Woodside was initially
supposed to play Mountain View and
Fremont, though both teams cancelled,
leaving Woodside with schedule openings.
So, Andrews had to track down teams with
game availability and found Christopher.

teams heads to Vegas
for elite tournament

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball is on the

road again.
For the second straight year, the Tigers
are travelling to Las Vegas to play in the
Durango Fall Classic, a two-day tournament
featuring some of the top teams from the
western United States. Guaranteed six
matches in the tourney, NDB opens play
Friday against Palo Verde-Vegas, and takes
on Flintridge Sacred Heart-La Caada
Flintridge and Villa Park
later in the day.
Its a really high caliber of players, NDB
head coach Jennifer
Agresti said. There are
great teams that go to
this from all over a lot
of good teams. It should
be quite a challenge for
Kat Ho
us.
Last season, NDB
posted a 3-3 record at the Durango Classic.
It was a disappointing showing at the time,
but an effective primer against top-flight
competition for a Tigers team that went on
to capture the Division IV state championship, the first state title in program history.
The Durango tournament was great for us
last year, Agresti said. We played the No.
1 team from Utah. We played the No. 1 team
from Hawaii. It was a great challenge for us
and it prepared us for those big games that
were coming down the line.
While NDB returns the core of its offense
this season outside hitters Katie Smoot
and Tammy Byrne, middle blocker Mele
Fakatene and setter Kristine Gese all return
to the starting lineup the defensive back
row has seen a dramatic change with the
graduation of star libero Katarina
Warburton.

Stanford violates NCAA rules in football, softball

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD Stanfords football and

softball teams were found guilty of NCAA
violations, including more than $3,000 in
impermissible benefits to a football player
and excessive practice time by the softball
team.
Athletic director Bernard Muir said
Thursday these are the first major violations committed by the school. The NCAA
did not find a lack of institutional control.
The university will continue to be dili-

gent about educating student-athletes and

supporters, monitoring its programs and,
when a potential violation is discovered,
vigorously reviewing the matter and selfreporting to the NCAA any findings, Muir
said in a statement . Stanford will continue
to work toward a tradition of excellence and
hold itself to the highest standards of conduct and compliance.
Stanford self-reported these violations in
2014 and took corrective actions that included ending the summer offseason housing program that led to the football violation.
Softball coach John Rittman was asked to

resign and his assistants were not brought

back after those violations were discovered.
The school also imposed limits on practice
time.
The NCAA accepted those punishments ,
fined Stanford $5,000, issued a public reprimand and gave a one-year show-cause penalty against Rittman that place restrictions on
his ability to be hired by another school.
The football violation stemmed from a
program that allowed athletes live with community homeowners over the summer to
allow them to train, take classes or have
internships in the area.

Receiver Devon Cajuste received benefits

from his landlord in 2014 including about
$400 in meals and movie tickets with the
family and a loan of about $3,000 for a bicycle. Cajuste repaid the loan, donated money
to charity and served a one-game suspension.
I unknowingly accepted impermissible
benefits from my summer landlord, Cajuste
said in a statement. I look forward to moving on from this incident and to supporting
my alma mater for many years to come.
In softball, the school found that the program held excessive practices that violated
the 20-hour per week participation rules.

Panthers rebound to open Bay play with 2nd straight win

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Burlingame has gotten darn near pugilistic

through its first two wins of the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division volleyball
schedule.
The Panthers opened league play Tuesday
with a dramatic five-set slugfest that they
won in extra points in the final set against
Aragon. And while Thursdays matchup at
Sequoia only went four sets, the showdown
still proved epic with long rally after long
rally.
In the end, Burlingame (2-0 PAL Bay, 7-7
overall) narrowly escaped having to play a
fifth set for the second straight match,
bouncing back after facing set point in Game
4 to close out the match on a three-point run
in an 18-25, 25-21, 25-21, 26-24 defeat of
Sequoia (0-2, 3-3).
With Burlingame playing a non-league
match Friday against Convent of the Sacred
Heart-San Francisco, the Panthers players
were breathing a sigh of relief that they didnt have to endure yet another five-set
marathon.
Im pretty happy about it, Burlingame
senior Siobhan Healy said. We had to go to
five in our last game, and we have a game
tomorrow. So, not having to stress ourselves
was nice.
While Burlingame fifth-year head coach
Nilo Mauricio has never lost at Sequoia
the Panthers havent lost to the Cherokees in
over 10 years he said the venue has always
been a grueling place to play. And he has a
fairly convincing theory about why, that
being how hot and muggy it gets in the
Sequoia gym, especially on the south side of
the court.
For some reason we just dont play well
here, Mauricio said. Its been that way
every single year.
Sure enough, Burlingame started on the
south half of the court and struggled mightily in Game 1. The Cherokees jumped out to a
domineering start paced by the communication between setter Emma Cheatham and senior outside hitter Julia Carlson, who went on
to lead all scorers with 17 match kills.
Sequoias defense, led by a stellar back-row
effort by senior libero Olivia Stubblefield,
set the tone for the match. Stubblefield and
company refused to let much of anything hit
the floor in the opening set, staking the
Cherokees to an early 11-4 lead from which
they walked to a Game 1 win.
We played the scrappiest defense we ever
have as a team, Cheatham said. I think we
played the best defense we have in three
years.
In Game 2, however, with Burlingame

Panthers four-set win at Sequoia Thursday.
moving to the north side of the court, the
two teams seemed to switch roles, with the
Panthers dialing it in to play definitively
sharper defense. Junior middle back Ally
Langlinais who has specialized in the
position since she started playing club volleyball in the sixth grade anchored the
back row with sophomore libero Samantha
Stuart (15 digs) and senior right back Katie
Karson (13 digs) to take over the match.
Once we get going in the rally, we really
get going, Langlinais said. We start communicating more and it makes it easier.
Burlingame swung the advantage 7-6 early
in the second set on a kill by middle blocker
Amber Moss, who scored a team-high 11
match kills. After running the lead to 20-16,
Sequoia closed to within a point at 21-20 but
the Sequoia attack began wearing down and
sending shots long after prolonged rallies.
The Cherokees committed 10 errors in the
set, with the Panthers holding the fort to end
on a 4-1 run.
Game 3 saw more of the same, with the
Cherokees committing 13 errors. Theyd go
on to commit 38 in the match.
Their offense was different every time,
Stubblefield said. So, I didnt know what to
expect. But honestly, their offense was so
good. They were able to place it where we
werent.
Sequoias first-year head coach Felipe
Gonzalez said the miscues were more a matter
of assignments than execution.
I think it was more we werent always in
the right position, Gonzalez said. But we
transitioned well with our passing. That was

the reason for the long rallies.

Sequoia battled to overcome an early
deficit in the decisive Game 4 to take the lead
12-11 on a three-point service run by
Cheatham, including a pair of aces.
Meanwhile, the senior was playing a ferocious all-around game. The setter totaled 34
assists and also relied on a consistent dump
shot to rack up seven kills.
Anything close, she was going to dump
the ball, Mauricio said. So, we made sure
she didnt beat us.
After Sequoia went up there were four lead
changes, including the Cherokees forcing
set point at 24-23 thanks to the dig of the
match, a diving pancake save by junior
Jada Herbert to allow Carlson a kill shot.
But Sequoia got stung by two consecutive
errors a wide shot followed by a doublehand setting violation called on Cheatham,
one of several such calls on the senior in
the match.
I didnt agree with many of them,
Cheatham said. I dont usually double the
ball but they called the game fair. You just
have to get over it and keep going.
Then Langlinais closed out the win with a
service ace, one of eight Panthers aces in the
match. Healy, who paced the team with three
aces, was jazzed about Burlingames two-game
win streak to open its Bay Division schedule.
Its a good start, so it feels nice, Healy
said.

Carlmont 3, Terra Nova 2

Carlmont (2-0, 7-2) went the distance to
remain unbeaten in Bay Division play with a
29-31, 25-9, 23-25, 25-15, 15-11 win over
Terra Nova (1-1, 3-1). The Scots trailed 11-9
in Game 5, but a Maya McClellan kill
sparked a six-point run to close out the victory. McClellan had a career night, totaling
30 saves with a .410 hitting percentage. The
junior added eight digs and four aces. Tai Mei
Chang added career-highs with 12 digs and
eight aces.

Menlo-Atherton 3, Aragon 0

Vegas stadium passes major vote Raiders
rush shows up

By Michelle Rindels

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS A plan to build an NFL stadium in Las Vegas and lure the Raiders from
Oakland crossed a major hurdle Thursday
when a Nevada oversight committee voted
unanimously to recommend $750 million in
public funding for the project.
The
Southern
Nevada
Tourism
Infrastructure Committee recommended raising the hotel tax in the Las Vegas area to help
pay for a 65,000-seat domed venue that was
promoted and would be partially nanced by
billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.
Proponents still need to win over the governor, the Legislature and three-quarters of NFL
owners to make the project a reality, but its
a signicant milestone for a city thats never
had a professional football team and has
been hammering out the particulars of the
Raiders deal for months.
We get an NFL team, and that is a signicant step forward for Las Vegas and the community, committee chairman Steve Hill said
about the projects potential. Those teams
bring the community together. Were going
to have people wearing Raiders jerseys and
high-ving each other ... Thats not something you can put a number on.
The Adelson family plans to put $650 million toward the stadium, which would also be
home to UNLV Football, while the Raiders
plan to kick in $500 million. Ofcials with
the Las Vegas Sands, Adelsons company,

said they dont want to return any prots to

the public because theyd be making little or
no money on the stadium. Theyre also committing to fund construction cost overruns
and infrastructure improvements at the yetundetermined site.
Sands representative Andy Abboud said the
Adelsons were in China to open a $2.9 billion Parisian Macao casino and probably
asleep when the vote came, but he texted
them the news and said theyll be excited.
I never dreamed of or hoped for a unanimous vote, Abboud said. But a unanimous
vote, I think, sends a very strong signal to
the Legislature.
Opponents question whether its appropriate to put public dollars toward a project
spearheaded by one of the richest men in the
world. Theyre also wary of the bonds used to
nance the project, which could put taxpayers on the hook to cover stadium debt in a
downturn.
Hill said the deals structure would shield
taxpayers even in a recession as deep as the
most recent one, when hotel tax revenues fell
33 percent. He also addressed arguments that
tax hikes should prioritize Nevadas bottomranking public school system.
Im not going to argue that a room tax
couldnt be used for other things, Hill said,
noting that the increase will mostly affect
tourists, not locals. I will say this is an
entirely, very appropriate use for room tax.
Stadium proponents drove a hard bargain
with the committee, which included casino

leaders and elected ofcials. The Las Vegas

Sands said theyd walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750 million, and the company fought to protect
themselves from any future taxes targeting
the team.
Public pressure mounted, too. Union members wearing Raiders gear held tailgate parties outside the committees meetings, and
cheerleaders in silver and black anked the
entrances to the meeting on Thursday.
Electronic billboards along the interstate
urged people to hold politicians accountable on the stadium deal and recommended
the hashtag Dont Screw This Up NV.
It was unclear when Republican Gov. Brian
Sandoval might call lawmakers into special
session to consider the deal, although proponents want it as soon as possible so they can
pitch the deal to NFL owners ahead of their
January meeting and potential team relocation vote.
I will not move forward until all questions
have been resolved, he said. I am hopeful
the work completed by this committee will
serve as a roadmap to Southern Nevadas unrivaled and continued success.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, meanwhile,
said her city is neither rolling over, nor giving up and continues work on a deal with the
team.
Now is the time for everyone in our region
to pull together to show the NFL and the
Raiders that their future is in Oakland, she
said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The longer hes in the

NFL, the quicker Blaine Gabbert wants to get
rid of the ball.
After being battered too many times as a
young quarterback in Jacksonville, Gabbert
has made it a priority to avoid sacks as he
tries to revive his career in San Francisco.
I think at times, young quarterbacks tend
to try and do too much, especially on third
down, trying to hold onto the ball, force it
past the sticks, he said. But, when youre
in max-drop zones, sometimes your best
throw is underneath for catch and carries and
let the guys go to work underneath.
Gabbert did that frequently in a seasonopening 28-0 win over the Los Angeles
Rams on Monday night when he took no
sacks, choosing to throw it quickly or scramble if no one was open rather than wait for a

big play.
According to gametracking by Pro Football
Focus, Gabberts average
time from snap to release
in the opener was 2.03
seconds second fastest
in the league in Week 1.
For the most part I felt
Blaine Gabbert like I was in rhythm all
game, going through my
reads, taking off when I needed to take off
there on third down, he said. So, I would
say that Im just trying to execute our offense
and thats it.
Gabbert struggled dealing with pressure in
the pocket early in his career. He was sacked
40 times in 15 games a rookie with the

opener that was solid more than spectacular.

He went 22 for 35 for 170 yards and a touchdown, while adding 43 yards on nine runs.
While Gabberts running proved effective,
one thing he wants to work on this week is
avoiding hits on the scrambles. He took one
especially hard shot from Mark Barron in the
first half and will need to be more careful if he
wants to make it through the entire season
healthy.
Blaine knows that wed like him to get
down, offensive coordinator Curtis
Modkins said. Wed like him, if he can,
score. If cant, get a first down and if not,
slide. So, he knows what he needs to do. Am
I worried about it? No, because hes smart.
Hell get that done.
Gabbert did enough to get a win over the
offensively challenged Rams but he will
likely need to improve on when the competition is tougher, like this week when the

ALAMEDA It hasnt taken long for the

Raiders to get a pretty good feel for how
teams plan to counter the tandem of Khalil
Mack and Bruce Irvin.
Mack faced a steady stream of double
teams from New Orleans offensive linemen
along with constant chip blocks by running backs and tight ends.
Irvin, who had Oaklands only sack of the
game when he stripped
the ball from Drew Brees
and forced a fumble in
the first quarter, received
the same kind of attention while also being
effectively muted by the
Saints
blocking
schemes.
Because that figures to
Bruce Irvin
be the norm for the two
outside pass rushers, the
Raiders need to get pressure elsewhere.
Thats what were stressing, defensive
tackle Justin Ellis said. We know how people are going to have to block the edge
guys because we have two elite edge guys,
so we just need to put pressure up the middle
more consistently.
Ellis is primarily a run-stopper and didnt
play much in the season-opening win over
the Saints, nor did 315-pound Dan
Williams.
Rookies Jihad Ward and Darius Latham
filled in the gaps along with Denico Autry,
but the trio combined for just seven tackles
and one quarterback hurry.
That worked right into the Saints hands,
too.
New Orleans kept Mack, who had 15
sacks in 2015, quiet most of the game
while Irvin had two tackles and three hurries.
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said the
Saints plan for Mack and Irvin wasnt surprising.
If youre not doing things like that then
youre going to have a hard time, Del Rio
said. I think people have to do that. When
youre doing that then theyre short other
place and we have to make sure were taking
advantage of that.
Irvin said as much earlier this week when

Football hazing
scandal may grow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DOS PALOS A small farming city in

Central California that fiercely supports its
high school team is bracing for the fallout of
widening hazing scandal that has led to the
arrest of three varsity players.
Dos Palos Police Chief Barry Mann said
Thursday that he has asked the local district
attorney to help his department of seven officers investigate hazing at the citys only high
school.
Investigators said they have confirmed
abuse by three varsity players of a younger
player but Mann said dozens of students still
need to be interviewed as police investigate
reports of other alleged hazing incidents.
I am fearful that it is bigger than it is right
now, Mann said.
Police arrested two 17-year-olds a 16-yearold boy Tuesday in the city of 5,000 residents
about 60 miles northwest of Fresno. They were
not identified because of their ages.
Mann described the confirmed hazing incident as serious, saying residents should prepare themselves to be shocked before details
are made public.
The Dos Palos Broncos first started playing
in football in 1923 and have been a successful
program in the states Central Valley for
decades, racking up 46 league titles the
most in the state, according to the Merced Sun
Star.
But the team struggled after the retirement of
long-time head coach Mike Sparks following
the 2010 season until last year, when the
school promoted assistant coach Rob Calvert
to take over the team. It lost in the Central
Section Division V semifinals last year.

I was intrigued with the matchup,
Andrews said. I didnt know too much
about Christopher but I know in the past
theyve had some good playoff teams. So it
should be a challenge for us.
The Woodside offense has generated 109
points through three wins, spurred by the
rushing exploits of Chester-Riley. The senior tailback has gained 421 yards on 56 carries and seven touchdowns. He also has 153
receiving yards and a touchdown, while on
special teams he has 207 kickoff return
yards and 52 punt return yards. In essence,

Best bets
FRIDAY
Aragon (3-0) at Jefferson (2-1), 7 p.m.
The Aragon Dons drubbed South City 300 last week. The Grizzlies mauled Monta
Vista-Cupertino, 33-6. These teams last
met in the 2014 opener, a 34-7 Aragon victory. Jefferson is the Dons second opponent this season from the Lake Division.
They opened the season with a 57-23 win
over Carlmont. Aragon RB/LB Siua
Tongamoa has lived up to the hype so far
this season. The senior broke off a 60-yard
touchdown run on offense and followed that
with a 54-yard pick-6 against the Warriors.
Jefferson went over the 300-yard rushing mark as a team for the third straight
time last week, finishing with 338 yards,
led by James Sanders, who had 187 yards on
nine carries. The Grizzlies are averaging
just over 10 yards a carry this season.

Los Gatos (1-2) at

Menlo-Atherton (1-2), 7 p.m.
The Los Gatos Wildcats were whipped by
San Benito last week, 35-14. The Bears
battered Sacred Heart Cathedral, 49-0.
These teams last met in 2014, a 35-7 rout
by Los Gatos. This is the second straight
year Los Gatos has opened the season 1-2.
The Wildcats are averaging 340 yards of
offense so far this season, but are scoring
an average of just over 20 points. Will
Fordyce is the Wildcats leading rusher, but
is averaging under 50 yards per game.
Thirteen players have carried the ball for
Los Gatos. M-A is averaging over 500
yards of offense per game. The Bears
rushed for 436 yards as a team last week.
Jordan Mims had the bulk of those, finishing with 284 yards and four TDs on 18 carries.

Woodside game, Chester-Riley is a factor.

Hes been very important, Andrews
said. Weve been putting up some decent
points these last few games and its not just
his direct contributions, but hes been
opening up stuff for some other players. So
far weve been pretty balanced.
Much of that balance has come courtesy
of sophomore quarterback Joseph King. The
first-year varsity player has etched a 103.7
quarterback rating through three games,
going 33-of-58 passing for 555 yards and
five touchdowns.
On defense, the Wildcats have yielded 62
points over the past two weeks after a Week
1 shutout of Capuchino. Andrews said the
Woodside Dis just getting warmed up
though.
Im not too concerned about the points
given up, Andrews said. Weve been able

Burlingame (2-1) at South City (0-3), 7 p.m.

The Burlingame Panthers pounded
Alvarez last week, 48-7. The Warriors
were wiped out by Aragon, 30-7.
Burlingame beat South City 26-14 in 2015.
Despite last weeks lopsided final score,
Burlingame led Alvarez just 14-7 at halftime. The Panthers used seven runners
who racked up 402 yards rushing last week,
led by Sean Saunders 158 yards on 13 carries. In Burlingames two wins, it has
allowed a total of 23 points. South City
is averaging just 16 points on offense,
while allowing more than 32 on defense.

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

Burlingames Sean Saunders rushed for 158

yards and two TDs in a 48-7 win over Alvarez.

Menlo School (3-0) at

Carlmont (1-2), 7 p.m.
The Menlo School Knights knocked off
Harker last week, 48-0. The Scots
smoked Yerba Buena, 46-19. Menlo
buried Carlmont 42-0 last season. The
Knights defense has allowed a total of 26
points over three games so far this season.
Offensively, theyre averaging 41 points
per game. Menlo is averaging less than
80 yards a game passing, but are rushing for
nearly 170. Against Harker, Menlo
passed for a season-high 168 yards and
three TDs. RB Charlie Ferguson has carried the ball 51 times. The rest of the team,
combined, has 25. Carlmont rushed for
more than 300 yards for the second straight
week. RB Demarii Blanks continues to
shine in the shadows. Last week, the junior
rushed for 225 yards on just 17 carries and
four TDs. Through three games, Blanks has
450 yards rushing and is averaging a first
down a carry.

Half Moon Bay (3-0), 7 p.m.
The El Camino Colts were smothered in a
9-6 loss to Sonoma Valley last week. The
to get to the quarterback. ... Were still
learning here early in the season. Im still
very, very pleased with how the defense has
performed.
The defenses learning curve has been
accelerated by the loss of middle linebacker
Sione Halaapiapi, who finished last season
with a torn Achilles tendon requiring offseason surgery, likely sidelining him for
his senior season.
Junior middle linebacker Chris Brugger
has proved a solid understudy though,
emerging as the Wildcats leader in tackles
this season. He also had a sack and a fumble
recovery against Hillsdale.
A lot of guys have been able to step up,
Andrews said. Our defensive line has been
playing so well for us, its been able to transition to the new linebackers for us.
Sophomore defensive tackle Christian

Cougars steamrolled Capuchino, 32-3.

Half Moon Bay blanked El Camino 39-0 in
2015. El Camino was held to just six
points two weeks after opening the season
with 38 in a win over Gunn. Half Moon
Bay is averaging 34 points scored per
game.

Mission-SF (0-3) at San Mateo (1-2), 7 p.m.

The Mission Bears were beaten up by
Redwood-Larkspur last week, 56-26. The
Bearcats were bested by Los Altos, 21-17.
The Bears are the defending Academic
Athletic Association defending champion.
San Mateo will be Missions third PAL
opponent in four weeks. The Bears opened
the season with losses to Jefferson (43-20)
and Menlo School (35-15). San Mateo
has lost two straight since beating South
City 41-28 in its opener. Bearcats QB
Austin Salvail threw for a season-high 171
yards last week, with two TDs. San
Mateo had more first downs, more total
plays and less penalty yards than Los Altos
last week, but the Bearcats turned the ball
over five times.
Ochoa was the standout up front last week,
totaling two sacks and a forced fumble.
Last season, Woodside also got off to a
hot start, winning its first four games. Then
the roof caved in, as the Wildcats went winless through five PAL Ocean Division
games and got trounced by Menlo-Atherton
in the non-league season finale to close the
year on a six-game losing streak.
Andrews said this years team is looking
to learn from the excruciating season.
Thats the plan, Andrews said. Last
year we got off to a hot start as well. This
years feels like its a lot more solid a foundation than it was last year. Were still
going to take it game by game, but were
still very aware of what happened to us last
year.

Ranier-Oregon (2-0), 7 p.m.
The Sequoia Cherokees were chopped

Through three games, Mills leads the

Tigers picked up their first win of the year
week, as well. Terra Nova QB Nate

Knights were stunned by Woodside, 40-34.
Hillsdale hammered Lincoln 58-12 last
season. Lincoln is averaging 200 yards
rushing per game as a team. Josiah

The Cardinals loss clinched the NL
Central title for the Chicago Cubs.
Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Cueto
(16-5) had a go-ahead sacrifice fly and
Angel Pagan followed with an RBI single.
Denard Span added a two-run single in the
seventh for San Francisco.
The Giants gained a game on the NL Westleading Los Angeles Dodgers, who are ahead
by four after losing at Arizona.
San Francisco also moved a game in front
of the idle New York Mets and two up on the
Cardinals in the chase for the two NL wild
cards.
St. Louis opened a 10-game road trip, its
last of 2016.
Cueto struck out seven and walked one in
his fifth complete game, tying Chris Sale of

the White Sox for most in the majors. Cueto

threw 105 pitches in a game that was done
in 2 hours, 33 minutes.
He outdueled fellow right-hander Adam
Wainwright (11-9), and the offense delivered a day after the Giants were swept by the
San Diego Padres in a lackluster three-game
series.
Cueto allowed Randal Grichuks RBI single in the fourth. But with the Giants closer-by-committee struggles, he gave the
bullpen a much-needed break.
This marked the fourth regular-season
matchup between Cueto and Wainwright dating to the San Francisco right-handers time
in the NL Central with Cincinnati. Cueto
beat Wainwright for the second time this
season after a June 3 win.
San Francisco skipped batting practice as
manager Bruce Bochy gave his club a mental break and some time off tired legs in midSeptember.
Span was dropped to eighth in the order in
an effort to get his bat going.

Witness: Philippine
president ordered
killings of criminals
By Jim Gomez and Teresa Cerojano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines A former Filipino militiaman

testified before the countrys Senate on Thursday that
President Rodrigo Duterte, when he was
still a city mayor, ordered him and other
members of a liquidation squad to kill
criminals and opponents in ganglandstyle assaults that left about 1,000 dead.
Edgar Matobato, 57, told the nationally televised Senate committee hearing
that he heard Duterte order some of the
killings, and acknowledged that he himself carried out about 50 deadly assaults
Rodrigo
as an assassin, including a suspected kidDuterte
napper fed to a crocodile in 2007 in
southern Davao del Sur province.
Rights groups have long accused Duterte of involvement
in death squads, claims he has denied, even while engaging
in tough talk in which he stated his approach to criminals
was to kill them all. Matobato is the first person to admit
any role in such killings, and to directly implicate Duterte
under oath in a public hearing.
Human Rights Watch late Friday urged the Philippine
government to order an independent investigation into the
very serious allegations of direct involvement by Duterte
in extrajudicial killings.
Brad Adams, the rights groups Asia director, said:
President Duterte cant be expected to investigate himself,
so it is crucial that the United Nations is called in to lead
such an effort. Otherwise, Filipinos may never know if the
president was directly responsible for extrajudicial
killings.
The Senate committee inquiry was led by Sen. Leila de
Lima, a staunch critic of Dutertes anti-drug campaign that
has left more than 3,000 suspected drug users and dealers
dead since he assumed the presidency in June. Duterte has
accused de Lima of involvement in illegal drugs, alleging
that she used to have a driver who took money from detained
drug lords. She has denied the allegations.
Matobato said Duterte had once even issued an order to
kill de Lima, when she chaired the Commission on Human
Rights and was investigating the mayors possible role in
extrajudicial killings in 2009 in Davao. He said he and others were waiting to ambush de Lima but she did not go to a
part of a hilly area a suspected mass grave where they
were waiting to open fire.

Syrian military withdrawing

from major artery to Aleppo
By Jamey Keaten and Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrias military began

withdrawing from a major artery to
Aleppo late Thursday as the U. N.
envoy accused President Bashar
Assads government of obstructing aid
access to the contested city.
A monitoring group reported three
civilian fatalities, the first since the
U.S.-Russian-brokered cease-fire took
effect three days ago.
Meanwhile, Russia was expected to
deploy its forces along Aleppos
Castello Road to ensure safe passage
for humanitarian convoys to the citys
opposition-held quarters. It would be
the most overt participation by
Russian ground forces in the Syrian
war, underscoring Moscows position
as power broker in the conflict. Russia
intervened with its air force on the side
of the Assad government last year,
turning the tide of the war in his favor.
As part of the truce deal, the rebels
and the Syrian government are supposed to agree to the deployment of a
security force to protect checkpoints
along the route to Aleppo to ensure aid
delivery to the citys opposition sec-

tor, which has been besieged by

Russian-backed government forces
since July. The U.N. estimates about a
quarter million people are trapped
inside.
However, the U.N. envoy to Syria,
Staffan de Mistura, said despite the dramatic drop in violence since the ceasefire took effect on Monday, the humanitarian aid flow that was supposed to
follow had not materialized.
Speaking in Geneva, de Mistura
blamed Assads government for the
delay.
He said the Syrian government had
not provided the necessary facilitation letters, or permits, to allow the
aid convoys to reach opposition areas,
disappointing even Russia, the Syrian
presidents key backer.
De Mistura said 40 aid trucks were
ready to move and the U.N. would prioritize delivery to the embattled rebelheld eastern neighborhoods of
Aleppo.
That is what makes a difference for
the people, apart from seeing no more
bombs or mortar shelling taking
place, he said of the aid deliveries that
are supposed to be part of the truce
deal.

It is particularly regrettable. ...

These are days which we should have
used for convoys to move ... because
there is no fighting, he said.
Jan Egeland, the top humanitarian
aid official in de Misturas office, said
the U.N. could reach its target areas in
the country within a few days once it
received authorization.
Our appeal is the following,
Egeland said. Can well-fed, grown
men please stop putting political,
bureaucratic and procedural roadblocks
in the way of brave humanitarian
workers who are willing and able to go
to serve women, children and wounded
civilians in besieged and cross-fire
areas?
Activists reported the cease-fire was
holding despite some violations,
though the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights monitoring group
warned the rate of violations had escalated and three civilians were killed,
including two children.
The Britain-based Observatory,
which relies on a network of activists
on the ground, said one girl was killed
when missiles fired by rebels hit a village in the southern province of
Quneitra.

Lots to hear as classical season kicks off

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The 2016-17 classical season on the

MidPeninsula starts off with a bang next
Saturday, Sept. 24, with the Redwood
Symphonys semi-staged production of the
jazz and ragtime-inspired opera The Rise
and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, by
Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, the caustic
writer-composer team who bought you The
Threepenny Opera. Redwood is giving this
brutal satire of unbridled Wild West capitalism now, conductor Eric Kujawsky said: to
make explicit the parallels of the operas
theme and the state of America today, before
the November election. Director Phil
Lowerys staging wont be set in an explicit time period, but Kujawsky expects that
Brechts point and its contemporary relevance should be clear.
The cast, featuring Redwood favorite
Raeeka Shehabi-Yaghmai as the prostitute
Jenny and Steve Guggenheim as her lover
Jimmy, will sing in English underneath
subtitles. This is a grittier and more sexually explicit show than Sweeney Todd,
Redwoods historic 2013 production, also
directed by Lowery, so parents are advised
to use discretion for children under 12. Its
also a long show, so the performance at
Caada Collage begins at 7:30 p.m.
The Redwood Symphony, which won San
Francisco Classical Voices best new music
performance award for giving Mason Bates
Alternative Energy last April, has another typically interesting season to follow
up. Attractive concertos by contemporaries
Arvo Prt and Jennifer Higdon are on the
programs for later concerts this year, as are
such colorful orchestral showpieces as
Richard Strauss Alpine Symphony and
Saint-Sans Organ Symphony. See redwoodsymphony.org for details.
Our other local community orchestras

From left, Michael Mohammed, Susan Gundunas, Ben Brady, Raeeka Shehabi-Yaghmai and Steve Guggenheim perform in The Rise and Fall

will also be busy. Each concert of the
Peninsula Symphony (peninsulasymphony.org) this year will feature a work by a
living American female composer, includ-

ing local notable Nancy Bloomer Deussen

in May, and Anna Clyne, whose works have
been sparkling the Cabrillo Festival, in
March. Januarys program will be a jazz and
blues influenced concert with a piece by
Gwyneth Walker. Other concerts will feature
favorites
like
Rimsky-Korsakovs
Scheherazade and Holsts The Planets.
The Master Sinfonia Chamber Orchestra
(mastersinfonia.org) will be highlighting
winners of its concerto competitions with
special concerts in December and May.
Other concerts will feature unusual concertos, Carl Nielsens Clarinet Concerto with
Steve Sanchez in late October and Bela
Bartoks Violin Concerto No. 1 with
Natalie Lin in February. The New
Millennium Chamber Orchestra (nmchamberorchestra. org) begins its season on
Saturday, Oct. 1, at Woodside High School,
with a pop-influenced program featuring
tributes to Prince and the band Green Day, a
solo by jazz saxophonist Don Pender, and
fiddler Colyn Fischer in a classical-folk
crossover concerto by Mark OConnor.
The Masterworks Chorale (masterworks.org) begins its season in November
with performances of Rachmaninoffs
Vespers, also known as the All-Night Vigil.
Its not that long, but it is an hourlong work
of great beauty for unaccompanied choir.
After a holiday concert with an accompanying crafts and cookies market in December,
Masterworks will continue with Verdis dra-

matic Requiem in March. For its concluding

musical theater concert in June,
Masterworks will offer a collection of
songs by Kander and Ebb, the authors of
Cabaret, Chicago and other glittery
musicals.
Also in the choral department, Ragazzi
Boys Chorus (ragazzi. org) and the
Peninsula Womens Chorus (pwchorus.org)
are both giving varied holiday programs in
December with music ranging from Haydn
to contemporary masters.
Chamber music locally begins with the
Jasper String Quartet playing Mozart,
Brahms and Bartok in the first Kohl
Mansion series concert in Burlingame on
Oct. 16. The Kohl season also includes
local favorites the Alexander Quartet in
March (musicatkohl.org). Also of note is
Music@Menlos three-concert winter season, opening with the Pacifica Quartet in
Beethoven, Ravel and Shostakovich in
January (musicatmenlo.org).
Music lovers should also look to Stanford
Universitys Bing Hall, where an impressive season, including the resident St.
Lawrence Quartet playing the complete
string quartet works of John Adams over the
course of the season, plus visits from the
Kremerata Baltica and the Academy of St.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

FROM PRINT TO PLATE: VIEWS

OF THE EAST ON TRANSFERWARE,
AT THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT
MUSEUM. Blue-and-white transferware
reached its peak in production and popularity in the first half of the 19th century.
Staffordshire potters in central England first
developed a successful method for transferring designs onto wares using handengraved copperplates as early as the mid18th century. Previously, potters laboriously applied decoration by hand, which consumed a great deal of time. The process of
printing designs on paper and then transferring them directly onto wares transformed
the ceramics industry and became a hallmark
of the Staffordshire pottery industry. In the
early 19th century, a wealth of images
became available to potters as illustrated
books made by European travelers and
artists introduced British viewers to scenes
of exotic lands such as India, the Middle East
and China. Pottery makers freely adapted
images, which appeared on dishes, platters
and soup tureens. Households prominently
displayed their finest blue-and-white wares
on sideboards for guests to admire. From
Print to Plate: Views of the East on
Transferware, at the San Francisco Airport
Museum, assembles a selection of blue-andwhite wares made by Spode and a number of
other British potters. Scenes range from
famous architectural views of India, such as
the Taj Mahal, drawn from A Picturesque Tour
along the Rivers Ganges and Jumna in India
(1824), to scenes of Turkey and China,
taken from Views in the Ottoman Empire
(1803) and A Picturesque Voyage to India by

the Way of China (1810). There is no charge

to view this exhibit, which may be found at
the San Francisco Airport International
Terminal, Departures Level 3 PreSecurity, through March 19, 2017. SFO
Museum, the first of its kind in the United
States and a widely imitated model for museums operating in public arenas, features
approximately 20 galleries throughout the

Continued from page 19
ABC (8 p.m. EDT). Two big changes in TV
academy rules could combine to bring
upsets to a field of contenders from broadcasting, cable and streaming services,
including Netflix and Amazon.
More to watch for in the ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel:
Whether the Emmys will continue to outpace the much-criticized Academy Awards
when it comes to diversity. Each of the
major acting categories includes at least one
minority nominee, including last years
best-drama actress winner, Viola Davis.
How much of an irresistible topic the
incendiary presidential campaign will
prove for presenters and winners. With
Kimmel, the question is how many punchlines it provides.
Whether the broadcast networks can
achieve any reversal of their dwindling
share of Emmy gold. Network shows that
once dominated the awards have been
reduced largely to onlookers, especially in
the top drama series category where theyve
been shut out of the nominations since a
nod for The Good Wife in 2011. A salute,

Jimmy Kimmel rolls out

red carpet as Emmy host
By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Jimmy Kimmel isnt

planning to use his superpowers at the
Emmys. When the talk show host first
emceed the ceremony four years ago, he
pranked folks not watching the live telecast by bringing Tracy Morgan on stage
to pretend to be unconscious.
The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
urged viewers to post OMG Tracy Morgan
just passed out on stage at the Emmys on
social media. A few years later, the 30
Rock co-star was seriously injured in a
car crash.
I have to be careful because I obviously
have powers that no one ever anticipated, joked Kimmel after ceremoniously
rolling out the red carpet Wednesday
morning in anticipation of Sundays ceremony. Im hoping to be on the next season of (the Marvel superhero series)
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The massive red carpet more like a red
sidewalk, really will cover the entire
plaza surrounding the Microsoft Theater
in downtown Los Angeles. Kimmel teased
Americans, and from sophomore sitcom
black-ish just some of potential beneficiaries of revisions in Emmy voting.
The streaming services, which have
begun to make inroads with shows including Transparent, might also reap more
honors for shows including House of
Cards.

the television academy for boasting that

this years red carpet will be the longest in
the ceremonys history at 1,325 feet.
Isnt that the least impressive thing
youve ever heard? said Kimmel. The red
carpet didnt even roll all the way out.
How do we know its the longest? We saw
no evidence of that today! I dont necessarily believe it.
Inside the theater, stagehands were hard
at work on erecting the sweeping circular
set around a giant Emmy statue. The stage
has been accented with silver globes,
sculptures and textured walls.
The place cards positioned on chairs in
front of the glittery get-up illustrated that
Tina Fey, Sarah Paulson, Bryan Cranston
and Kerry Washington will have the best
seats in the house: front-row center.
Other nominees with front-row seat
assignments include Viola Davis, Tony
Hale, Anthony Anderson, Kevin Spacey
and Robin Wright.
However, not Beyonci. The pop superstar, who is nominated for outstanding
direction for the HBO special for her visual album Lemonade, is assigned to the
second row behind Liev Schreiber.
This year, the academy revised how votes
are cast and counted, switching from a ranking and points system to letting voters simply check off their top choice. That sharpens the selection process and perhaps
affects past winners who managed to collect
enough second-place votes to overcome the
competition.

In another change, this one implemented

last year, voting was expanded from blueribbon panels to depending on the award
giving substantially more or all of the
academys 20,000-plus members the chance
to vote for finalists.
Best actors, for example, had been decided
by panels made up of 75 to 250 people in
the academys acting branch, said Tom
ONeil, author of The Emmys reference
book and editor of Gold Derby, an awards
handicapping website.
Now, all 2,500 branch members can jump
in if so inclined but they have to agree to
view all episodes in contention before voting, as the panels did. In the program categories, including best comedy and drama,
all academy members are eligible to vote.
Last years Game of Thrones top-drama
victory might have been a sign of the difference the new approach made: Voters in the
past have been stubbornly resistant to honoring fantasy or sci-fi shows, with Lost a
rare exception. The rules change could also
make hacking thriller Mr. Robot a Game
of Thrones spoiler. It can claim both
momentum, with this years Golden Globe
for best drama series in hand, and thematic
timeliness.
But the possibility that not all new voters
are doing their homework by faithfully
watching DVDs of the nominees is cause for
concern, said awards maven ONeil, giving
buzz the potential to sway uninformed voters. In the 1960s, he recalled, the TV academy was forced to call in respected writerproducer Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone)
to overhaul a voting approach that had similarly veered off course.
Im looking for any upset by an underdog that tells me that the integrity of the
award is still intact, ONeil said. If not, if
its just all the popular stuff that prevails,
then the Emmys are in trouble.

While theyre continuing some of

their mobile programs, this summer
marked the first time Jasper Ridge
Farm found a permanent home courtesy
of Webb Ranch, Mattes said.
Now, Jasper Ridge Farm occupies
2.5 acres at the long-standing ranch at
2720 Alpine Road, where theyve been
graciously guaranteed a permanent
spot rent free, Mattes said.
We started operating in 2009 and
we were leasing a small little footprint
of land from another organization in
Woodside and our programs grew so
quickly and beyond our wildest dreams
that we soon ran out of space, Mattes
said. Webb Ranch, when they heard of
our dilemma, they offered us a really
beautiful 2.5-acre site. It was just an
amazing blessing that we needed just
at the right time.
After receiving county approvals,
they secured enough funds to construct
a new barn and are hoping to raise
another $100,000 to create a covered
riding arena where they could hold programs year-round, Mattes said.
The Jasper Ridge Farm is now permanent home to three miniature horses,
two Nigerian dwarf goats, two baby
doll sheep, three rabbits and two
guinea pigs. Being located at Webb
Ranch has also enabled them to partner with the nonprofit for their horseback riding programs, Mattes said.

FISH
Continued from page 1
before any board vote is taken.
California is in a five-year drought
that has made water an even more hotly
contested resource than usual. The
amount of water left in the lower San
Joaquin River system for fish is just
one in a series of issues pitting fisheries and conservation groups against
farmers, including politically influential corporate farms.
State Farm Bureau Federation president Paul Wenger said the reduced water
for irrigation from the change could
idle as many as 240,000 of the 9 million irrigated acres in California, the
countrys top agriculture state.
This is going to make a huge
impact, Wenger said. We cant keep
up this craziness of just releasing this
water, with the population continuing

Having officially moved their animals over the summer, Mattes said
theyre pleased to welcome the entire
community for a visit and to learn
about their influential programming.
They work with children with lifethreatening illnesses or special needs,
families at local homeless shelters and
veterans. As part of their mobile programs, Jasper Ridge brings animals to
women at the Elmwood Correctional
Facility and makes monthly visits to
the Ronald McDonald House, Mattes
said.
Along with three part-time employees and a crew of wonderful volunteers,
Mattes said she knows firsthand about
the soothing power of working with
animals. Diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis in the late 1990s, Mattes
wasnt sure for how long she would be
able to remain physically active.
Its really been a blessing for me
and sometimes I joke that Im one of
my repeat customers. Theres just
something about being there with
these gentle animals thats just really
calming and comforting. I think being
physically active in the outdoors has
to grow, and the population counting
on food to continue to grow.
Conservation groups pointed to a
2013 study by the state Department of
Fish and Wildlife that said salmon and
other native species need at least 50
percent of normal flow in the river system.
Based on what weve seen, this proposal falls short, said Doug Obegi of
the Natural Resources Defense Council
environmental group.
The draft proposal applies to the
lower San Joaquin River, three of its
tributaries and the southern end of the
San Joaquin delta with the Sacramento
River.
The delta is part of the largest estuary on the West Coast, home to dozens
of threatened native species and a
water source for two-thirds of
Californias 39 million people and
millions of acres of farm land.
Long stretches of the upper San
Joaquin River have been dry for

been helpful to me as well, Mattes

said. I also think when you stop
thinking about yourself and your own
challenges and focus instead on those
around you, it makes a huge difference
in life.
All of their programming is free to
those who participate and Mattes said
Jasper Ridge Farm is always grateful
for donations. At Saturdays celebration, San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos
Bolanos, a longtime supporter, will
also be speaking, Mattes said.
Visitors will be able to tour the
grounds, meet the animals and learn
more about Jasper Ridge Farm. While
attributing the nonprofits success to
the volunteers and animals, Mattes
said she sees consistencies in the different demographics they serve.
Probably the single greatest benefit to the kids and the veterans, anyone
we visit, first of all they see there are
other people that care, Mattes said.
And the gift the animals give is pure,
unconditional, nonjudgmental acceptance. Whether its a bunny sitting on
the lap of an inmate at Elmwood, or a
goat running around with a child from
the homeless shelter, or a miniature
horse getting groomed by a child at
Ronald McDonald House, the gift is
the same. These animals accept us
wherever we are in our life.
The Jasper Ridge Farm open house
runs 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday,
Sept. 17, at 2720 Alpine Road,
Portola Valley. Visit jasperridgefarm.org for more information.
decades because of heavy pumping.
Salmon populations have survived in
the drought only because of intervention by wildlife agencies, which raise
the young salmon in hatcheries and
carry them in trucks past dry stretches
of the river.
The proposal by regulators calls for
leaving 30 percent to 50 percent of
normal flows in the river system, with
40 percent as a benchmark.
While reducing the amount of water
available for farms, increased river
flows would benefit farmers and city
dwellers by reducing salinity in water
and sweeping away some of the algae
blooms plaguing California waterways, said Les Grober, a state waterright official.
John McManus, executive director
of the Golden Gate Salmon
Association fishing group, said leaving more water in the river would also
benefit people by making salmon
catches more plentiful.

RINK
Continued from page 1
Creating a new rink may not be an easy
feat. They anticipate needing at least 2.5
acres of municipally-owned land, between
$12 million and $15 million to cover
costs, a nonprofit to oversee construction
and an operator, Goethals said. To ensure
the rink stays open, the intent is to build
on publicly-owned land a main hitch in
the recent Belmont and San Mateo closures.
The private ice rinks in the Bay Area
generally go away because theres a more
lucrative use, and so they end up getting
redeveloped, Goethals said.

History behind closures

Recreation is a hot topic in San Mateo
and the fervor over skating heightened
after the Bridgepointe rink closed in 2013.
Although the rink is explicitly called for
in the sites master plan, shopping center
owner SPI Holdings sought to amend the
document to create more retail instead. The
community rallied to preserve the rink and
in April, the City Council turned down
SPIs $4 million offer in exchange for the
amendment.
SPI has remained steadfast that there are
no plans to reopen the facility.
Im not going to sit around and wait in

SCHOOLS
Continued from page 1
declines are the sharpest, according to the
report.
Though no decision was made at the most
recent board meeting, the issue may bring
difficult choices ahead for officials seeking
to spend limited resources in the most efficient fashion.
Because we are funded on a per-student
basis, it is very important to the financial
health of our district that we have the correct balance between the number of students
and the number of teachers, according to
the report. Less students means less money
from the state, and if attendance falls short
of enrollment projections we do not receive
the amount of money we are expecting from
the state.
Property taxes in Redwood City do not
generate enough revenue to surpass the
threshold for the school system to be funded locally, so district officials must rely on
money paid by the state to account for a
majority of the annual budget. State funding
levels are largely influenced by the size of
the student body, so accurate enrollment
projections are integral to districts crafting
an appropriate spending plan.
Redwood City officials had anticipated
8,100 students would enroll this year, but
attendance over the first 10 days of classes
in the new school year indicated projections
overshot the actual size of the student body,
according to the report.
The amount of money paid by the state
stands to shrink as a result of the erroneous
projection, forcing district officials to
reconsider initial school staffing levels.
When enrollment falls short of projections, officials must take creative approaches to assure the needs of students are met,
according to the report.
In order to compensate for this loss of
funding, we have had to make a small num-

this stalemate. I dont want to see another

generation of kids playing hockey and figure skating to go by without having another local facility. So I think our best chance
is if we as a region collaborate to find the
right piece of land, Goethals said.
While not ready to identify a specific
piece of property, Goethals said he wants
to consider city, county and even school
district land.
Skaters have also coalesced in neighboring Belmont since owners of the Belmont
Iceland closed and sold the facility citing
their age and ongoing maintenance
expenses.
The Belmont council formed an ice rink
subcommittee and Lieberman attended this
weeks joint meeting. Noting there has
also been some concern expressed about
how long the privately owned rink in
Redwood City would remain, Lieberman
said a collaborative multi-jurisdictional
approach is ideal.
There is concern about the loss of rinks
in the mid-Peninsula and we clearly know
that there is a high level of demand,
Lieberman said.
He agreed the challenge is finding land
and while funding is not trivial, also
expressed confidence in the publics and
cities ability to secure financing.

A regional approach
Lieberman said the county and local
cities have a history of working together,
and pointed to Belmont, Foster City and
ber of classroom changes at a few schools
across the district to ensure that we do not
spend more money than we receive, according to the report.
District spokeswoman Naomi Hunter said
some teachers were transferred to different
assignments to accommodate the shifts
brought on by the enrollment fluctuations,
but none were released.
Board President Alisa MacAvoy said she
appreciated the flexibility of district teachers in adjusting to the necessary shifts.
We have incredibly talented, dedicated
teachers and staff who professionally help
us move through these changes as quickly
as possible for the benefit of our students,
she said in an email.
The district has faced similar difficulties
in the past, but in a different fashion, as last
year officials scrambled to appropriately
staff schools which took in more students
than anticipated.
Class sizes in some grades grew in the
year prior to accommodate the unexpected
enrollment hike, while some extra teaching
jobs needed to meet the additional demand
were funded with enrichment money rather
than the general fund, so as to not overburden the districts budget, according to the
report.
The required readjustment to match enrollment with funding levels shines a light on
the importance of accurate student population projections, according to the report, as
a shift in the amount of students may make
a considerable impact on a districts bottom
line.
But the increased cost of living along the
Peninsula makes it more difficult for forecasters to hit their enrollment projections,
according to the report, as the tight and
expensive housing market has pushed out
many locals living on the fringe of affordability.
Enrollment challenges in Redwood City
are compounded by the increased popularity
of local charter schools, according to the
report, as families are opting to take their
kids out of traditional district schools in

Friday Sept. 16, 2016

San Mateo currently considering a merger

of their fire departments.
Theres no doubt that if we can work
together, there are more opportunities for
us to make something happen, Lieberman
said. Will there be particulars to work out
to make sure each jurisdiction is comfortable? Absolutely. But when theres a will,
theres a way.
Supervisor Pine, who reminisced about
skating as a child, agreed its concerning
to see two of the three rinks in the county
having closed over the last few years.
It would be a great benefit to the county
to have a regional facility, Pine said. I do
think it needs to be looked at as a regional
need and I think it was helpful for Mayor
Goethals to pull together representatives
from different cities in the county.
Goethals said the location will ultimately depend upon where they find suitable
land with at least two sheets of ice to
ensure its economically viable. One possibility would be to have whichever city
owns the property to receive a below-market rate rent for the site, and a successful
operator run the facility for a profit.
A successful fundraising campaign will
be critical. Goethals said he would be willing to encourage San Mateo and other partner cities to contribute funds, however the

rink community will also need to step up.

I am confident that the skating community and that a lot of the local businesses
will donate significant funds to building a
rink, Goethals said.
Yet creating the regional rink will likely
mean certain supporters must accept that
the facility may not be within their citys
borders.
Members of the Save the Bridgepointe
Ice Rink advocacy group, whove gathered
hundreds of supporters to attend public
meetings, also participated in this weeks
meeting. Dina Artzt said she remains disappointed by SPIs actions and although
theyve been focused on the San Mateo
rink, said theyve begun to collaborate
with advocates for the Belmont rink
who formed the nonprofit Silicon Valley
Ice Skating Association.
Artzt thanked officials for recognizing
the need for this recreational amenity, noting just one rink is now serving 1 million
residents.
I think its promising that the city officials from several neighboring communities have come together to work together
toward this regional solution. But its really a shame that the current rink that exists
at Bridgepointe is not open to serve the
community at a time when its very difficult to find land; and especially where we
live where land is at a premium, Artzt said.
I think its great that [officials are] making an effort to help the community and
bring back ice to the Peninsula.

favor of specialized programming offered at

alternative sites.
There are no easy answers for officials facing a variety of tough choices stemming
from the enrollment issues, according to the
report.
Leaving classes small by absorbing
extra staff requires drawing on the districts
reserve fund, according to the report.
After years of budget cuts, the district has
made salary increases and class size reduction its top priority during these years of
recovery, but that has been at the expense of

building up the reserve fund, which can provide relief in a situation like this.
MacAvoy said officials will keep a close
eye on enrollment shifts in the future to
best staff schools and manage the districts
finances.
We will continue to monitor enrollment
this year and hope that we can continue to
offer the array of educational programs we
offer to our students, she said. Much
depends on local and state funding and on
our enrollment so we will be keeping close
watch on these items.
