County may up wages

Living wage proposal will hike minimum for contractors to $17 an hour by 2019
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo County will likely require

its contractors to establish a living
wage of $17 an hour by the middle of
2019 if the Board of Supervisors
approves an ordinance at its Tuesday
meeting.
Late last year, the board established
a subcommittee to study the impacts
raising the wage will have on its contractors, many of which are nonprofit
service providers.
Supervisors Dave Pine and Carole

Groom convened a
working
group
comprised of 12
nonprofit county
contractors,
one
for-profit contractor and a representative with the San
Mateo
County
Central
Labor
Dave Pine
Council.
If approved, the living wage will be
phased in over 30 months. It will jump
to $14 an hour starting Jan. 1, 2017,
when the states minimum wage will

increase to $10.50
an hour.
It will go up to
$15 an hour in the
middle of 2017; $16
an hour in mid-2018
and $17 an hour
July 1, 2019.
The ordinance the

new high-density

San Mateo council to consider Hillsdale Terrace
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Times are changing, and so must the city. Or at least

thats what San Mateo city officials argued while weighing
in on a contentious proposal to construct high-density
housing along El Camino Real.
The Planning Commission voted 4-1 Thursday to recommend approval of the transit-oriented Hillsdale Terrace; a
housing proposal to construct 74 condominiums on a 1acre site near the soon-to-be relocated Caltrain station.
The proposed five-story modern structure includes eight
below-market rate units and would be distinct from what cur-

San Mateo business owners concerned by payroll hike in coming months

In the coming year, San Mateos

lowest paid workers are guaranteed a
raise. But a group of local restaurant
owners ask, who will help them cover
the cost?
The city approved breaking from
state standards and raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2019 in an effort
to help those struggling with the
regions high cost of living.

Those currently making the lowest

wages can expect $12 an hour beginning Jan. 1, 2017; which will be
$1.50 more than the statewide standard.
But while several downtown San
Mateo restaurant owners say the new
rules may be well intentioned, they
remain concerned business like theirs
may struggle to absorb the increased
costs.
Owning a restaurant isnt easy work.
And its a passion for the industry that

keeps three local proprietors in the

business. Yet with notoriously slim
profit margins, fierce competition and
already having difficulty retaining
employees, some wonder if the wage
increase could shake San Mateos
downtown restaurant scene.
Its a nickel-and-dime business; its
going to become nickels and pennies, said Brad Goldberg, owner of

Rain, wind cause power

outages, flooded roads
By Keith Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Rain and wind knocked out power, delayed

flights, flooded roads and was at least partly
responsible for a highway crash that injured
two police officers Friday.
Precipitation started falling across the
North Bay at around 9 p.m. Thursday and
moved south into San Francisco and
Oakland by late Friday morning.
Around noon, the first potent storm of the
season had dropped just over 2 inches of
rain near Mill Creek Road northwest of
Guerneville and 2.2 inches on Mount Saint
Helena.
The Santa Rosa airport reported 0.62
inches while 0. 53 inches fell near
Richmond and 0.40 inches in the hills east
of Berkeley, National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Gass said.
Farther south, Hayward received only
0.02 inches and Redwood City reported
only 0.07 inches, but those totals were
expected to increase, Gass said.
San Jose is expected to get one-half to

Manson follower denied

parole for 1969 murder
SACRAMENTO California officials said
Friday that they have again denied parole for
a follower of cult leader
Charles Manson who is
serving a life sentence for
a murder he committed 47
years ago.
Parole officials decided
that Robert Beausoleil,
68, should remain in
prison for the 1969 death
of
musician
Gary
Robert
Hinman. He can seek
Beausoleil
parole again in three
years, said board spokesman Luis Patino.
Beausoleil was an aspiring musician and
actor before he joined the Manson family,
and he has written and recorded music while
in prison.
He originally was sentenced to die, but his
sentence was commuted to life in prison
when the California Supreme Court ruled the
death penalty unconstitutional in 1972.
He was in jail when other Manson followers killed actress Sharon Tate and four others,
then murdered grocer Leno LaBianca and his
wife Rosemary.

three-quarters of an inch by Sunday.

Its definitely a potent storm for this
early in October, Gass said. Though its
not out of the ordinary, he said.
The rainy season in the Bay Area started
Oct. 1.
Though residents of the North Bay were
the first to get wet and blown around, no
flooding had been reported in either Marin
or Napa counties, public works officials in
those two counties said.
Closer to the Bay, California Highway
Patrol officials reported flooded traffic lanes
and even whole roads flooded.
All lanes of northbound Interstate 880 at
Market Street in Oakland were flooded as of
about 1 p.m.
The power was out to 12,652 PG&E customers across the Bay Area as of 3 p.m.,
with most of those in the East Bay. Nearly
8,000 East Bay customers were in the dark,
while 4,365 were out in the North Bay.
Most of the roughly 1,300 customers
without power in San Francisco had their
power restored by 3 p.m. Fewer than 300
customers were out of power on the

Peninsula and fewer than 20 in the South

Bay.
PG&E spokeswoman Abby Figueroa said
the storm caused nearly all of the power outages.
An outage earlier in the day in Daly City
reeked havoc on BART, causing delays of 30
to 60 minutes for travelers heading south of
the Daly City BART station.
Rain in the Bay Area is expected to last
through Sunday.
Wind has also been part of the storm with
gusts of 52 mph at Atlas Peak in Napa
County, 40 mph in the Oakland Hills and 32
mph at San Francisco International Airport.
The key for pilots has been the wind, airport spokesman Doug Yakel said.
Usually the winds blow from the north,
but the storm is blowing from the south,
causing pilots to land and depart at 180
degrees from normal.
And that does add to our delays, Yakel
said.
Airport officials were reporting 102 cancellations and 200 flight delays as of about
2 p.m.

Around the state

California corrections officials sought the

external review after the state inspector general reported last year that High Desert State
Prison guards had created a culture of
racism and engaged in alarmingly frequent
use of force against inmates.

Report finds California

lacking in Latino doctors
SACRAMENTO A new report says
California is dramatically lacking in Latino
doctors despite the states growing population.
The report released Friday by the Latino
Physicians of California says although
nearly 40 percent of the states population
is Latino, just 5 percent of the states physicians are.
The nonprofit advocacy group says that
means there are not enough physicians who
are culturally prepared to take care of
Latinos gaining health coverage through
President Barack Obamas health insurance
overhaul.

Report: Some California guards

see inmates as wild animals
SACRAMENTO Employees at a remote
Northern California prison largely view
inmates as little more than wild animals
incapable of being rehabilitated, according
to the latest in a long series of critical
reports.

Redwood City teen

arrested for exposing himself

Local briefs

Police said theyve arrested a man who

repeatedly exposed himself to women he
would approach while driving his vehicle in
Redwood Shores.
Isaiah Diaz, an 18-year-old Redwood City
man, was arrested Thursday morning for
three incidents in which he encouraged
female pedestrians to approach his car
while driving, according to Redwood City
police.
The first incident occurred Sept. 11 when
Diaz was driving around Marlin Drive and
Davit Lane around 2:06 p.m. He pulled up to
a 36-year-old woman who was walking her
dogs and motioned for her to come over.
Once the victim approached, Diaz exposed
himself, according to police.
The second incident was reported Oct. 9
around 6:54 p.m. near Shearwater Parkway
and Canvasback Way. He pulled up to a 24year-old woman who was walking and
motioned for her to come over to his car,
then exposed himself, according to police.
The third incident was occurred Oct. 10
around 12:39 p.m. when Diaz drove up to a
47-year-old woman who was walking near
Redwood Shores Parkway and Egret Lane.
He motioned for her to come over and asked
for directions. When she looked into the car
she saw Diaz masturbating, according to
police.
It was the last alleged crime when Diazs
vehicle and license plate were caught on a
nearby surveillance camera. Detectives
investigated and Diaz was identified in the
three exposure cases. He is connected to a
1997 white Lexus and a 2003 silver Nissan,
according to police.
Diaz was arrested around 9:30 a.m. Oct.
13, in San Mateo and booked into jail,
according to police. The investigation is

ongoing and anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Diana
Villegas at (650) 780-7129.

Teacher in sex case gets trial date

A 40-year-old former Millbrae school
teacher accused of having an inappropriate
relationship with one of
her students has decided
to seek a jury trial,
according to the San
Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Heather Amanda Butts,
who was employed as an
English
and drama
Heather Butts teacher at Taylor Middle
School, was charged
with a second felony for committing a lewd
act upon a child and a misdemeanor for violating the courts no-contact order last
week, according to prosecutors.
Butts pleaded not guilty to all charges
Friday, which include two earlier felonies
for an incident Aug. 14, 2016, in which she
was reportedly seen kissing a teen girl in a
van.
The girl, 15, was a former student of Butts
at Taylor Middle School and the two had
continued seeing each other after the girl
started attending Mills High School,
according to prosecutors.
The Sheriffs Office received two reports
concerning Butts as early as October 2015.
In the August incident, police responded
to Lomita Park School around 5:39 p.m.
after an anonymous report from a student
that said an adult and teen were seen kissing
in a car. When officers arrived, Butts was
alone and the victim was located nearby.
The teen girl denied anything inappropri-

ate, but later admitted the two were in love

and explicit text messages found on the victims phone showed an ongoing relationship, according to prosecutors.
Since Butts was released on $85,000 bail
Aug. 17, another student allegedly transmitted messages between the victim and
Butts, leading to the misdemeanor charge,
according to prosecutors.
Her jury trial is slated to start Dec. 5.

Home under construction sustains

major fire damage in Brisbane
A single-family home that was under construction sustained major damage in a twoalarm fire in Brisbane late Thursday morn-

ing, according to firefighters.

Crews responded to the first block of
Thomas Avenue at 11:56 a.m. to find a single-story home with heavy smoke and
flames coming from the roof and sides of
the structure.
Firefighters surrounded the building and
contained the fire. The house didnt have
sheetrock on any of the interior walls or
attic space yet and it sustained major damage, fire officials said.
Crews were on scene for more than five
hours making sure the fire was out.
Since the home was still under construction, no residents were displaced. The
cause of the fire remains under investigation.
No injuries were reported.

Two residential
burglaries in Hillsborough
Hillsborough police are investigating
two residential burglaries that took place
Thursday.
The first burglary took place between 9

floor door to gain entry. The second burglary took place in the area of Skyfarm

GOP groups spend $10M

to protect 15 House seats
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Two major political groups that work

to elect House Republicans said Friday theyre pumping a
fresh $10 million into 15 congressional races all of it
to defend GOP-held seats.
The planned expenditures come as Republicans have
expressed concerns that GOP presidential candidate
Donald Trumps faltering presidential campaign could
hurt congressional candidates. While Republicans have
long seemed unlikely to lose House control in next
months elections, Democrats hopes have risen for big
gains, perhaps even picking up the 30 seats theyd need
to capture the majority.
The money is being spent to protect Republican-represented districts in Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa,
Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia.
Some of the expenditures are not unexpected, protecting seats in suburbs around Philadelphia and Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., plus districts with
significant Hispanic populations in California. Those are
the types of areas where many voters have shown hostility to Trumps comments on women, minorities and others.

Hillary Clinton greets people at a campaign office in Seattle, Wash.

Clinton says that she takes no

satisfaction in Trumps actions
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE With Donald Trump on

the defensive, Hillary Clinton says
she is taking no satisfaction in his
actions and promising to repair the
damage and project a message of unity
during the campaigns final weeks.
Hours after her Republican rival furiously defended himself against multiple allegations of sexual misconduct,
Clinton spoke Friday of the need for
national healing in a Seattle fundraising speech that also saw her call upon
Americans to help her govern if shes
elected president.
Theres a lot about this election
that is dispiriting, unsettling. I take
no satisfaction in seeing what Trump
does and says because it hurts it
hurts me and it hurts our country. It
hurts all of us, Clinton said at the
Paramount Theatre, where Trump backers gathered outside on a blustery day,

one bearing a sign that read, Hillary

The Democratic presidential nominee said that while she understands
many voters want to turn away, her
supporters need to help her win the
election to demonstrate the positive,
optimistic, confident, unifying vision
of America that I believe in and that I
think, together, we can demonstrate
Americas best days are still ahead of
us.
While President Barack Obama is
ending his two terms with high
approval ratings, Clintons struggles
with high unfavorability ratings and
questions about her honesty could
undermine any electoral mandate she
might achieve in November.
So as Trump has dealt with a
firestorm that started last week with
the release of an 11-year-old videotape
of him bragging about kissing and
groping women, Clinton is increasingly aiming her message not only at

Democrats
but
at
disaffected
Republicans and independents turned
off by the spectacle.
Clinton said in Seattle that she wanted people to start looking after each
other again, and that while she would
aim to pass laws and seek some real
national commitments, people needed to support each other at the end of
an acrimonious campaign season.
I will be asking for your help. I
need your help not just to win this
election but to govern and to heal the
divides that exist in our country right
now, Clinton said. I do believe there
isnt anything we cant do once we
make up our minds to do it.

Nearly half of young

adults lack retirement

Americans traveling to Cuba will be allowed to bring home more of the communist-ruled
islands coveted cigars and rum under new measures announced by the U.S. government on
Friday to further ease trade, travel and financial restrictions that have been in place for decades.

U.S. removes limits on travelers

bringing in Cuban rum, cigars
By Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Obama administration announced

Friday that it is eliminating a $100 limit on
the value of Cuban rum and cigars that
American travelers can bring back from the
island.
The administration is also lifting limits
on cargo ship travel between the U.S. and
Cuba and easing U. S. and Cuban
researchers ability to conduct joint medical
research. The measures are contained in a
new round of regulatory changes meant to
ease U.S. trade with Cuba.
The Obama administration has now made
six sets of changes loosening the U.S. trade
embargo on Cuba in the hopes that the normalization of relations with the island will

not be reversed by a future administration.

This round is expected to be the last before
President Barack Obama leaves office.
Cuban rum and cigars will now be subject
to the same duties as alcohol and tobacco
from other countries, meaning most travelers will be able to bring back as many as
100 cigars and several bottles of rum.
Because high-end Cuban cigars can sell for
more than $100 apiece outside Cuba, every
U.S. traveler can now legally bring back
many thousands of dollars of Cuban products, potentially generating hundreds of
millions of dollars in new annual revenue
for the Cuban state.
The change does not mean that Cuban rum
and cigars will be available for sale in the
U.S. the change is aimed at tobacco and
alcohol brought home for personal use.

NEW YORK Young Americans with even

just $1 saved for retirement are ahead of the
pack.
Forty-eight percent of all Americans aged
18 to 30 have zero in retirement savings and
no access to a traditional pension, according
to a GenForward poll by the Black Youth
Project at the University of Chicago with the
Associated Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research.
The youngest in that group are more likely
to still be in school, but the trend also holds
for those in their late 20s. More than 4 in 10
of those aged 25 to 30 have nothing for retirement.
These same Americans are part of a generation whose future retirements, if they happen
at all, will be more dependent on their personal savings. Thats because traditional pensions are becoming more and more rare. Only
7 percent of those surveyed say theyre in line
to get the coveted benefit, which promises to
pay a set amount monthly after retirement.
Plus, young Americans are likely to get less
in Social Security benefits than their parents
or grandparents. The age to receive full Social
Security benefits is climbing, up to 67 from
66. And most young Americans dont have

much faith in the Social Security system to

begin with. Only 5 percent say theyre very
confident in it, and 28 percent say theyre
somewhat confident.
Despite all that, a majority of young
Americans still say they are confident that
theyll have enough to retire when they want
to. African Americans, Asian Americans and
white Americans have similar levels of confidence, between 53 percent and 56 percent.
Latinos are an exception. Only 43 percent say
theyre very or somewhat confident.
I feel pretty good about our future, says
Shavonne Henry, a 26-year-old who lives in
Vancouver, Washington, with her 25-year-old
husband and children. They have some saved
up in a 401(k) through her husbands work and
a rolled-over 401(k) account from her old job.
The reason we got to saving at all was I
took a finance class in college, and part of the
course was: If you want to have the kind of
retirement you want to have, you should start
saving at 20, she says. I dont think thats
talked about enough.
More employers are looking to give their
workers, young and old, a nudge to start saving for retirement by automatically enrolling
them in 401(k) plans. At plans administered
by Vanguard, 41 percent of employers did so
last year, up from 27 percent five years earlier.

WASHINGTON The government ran a

Obama came to power after the 2008
financial crisis and as the economy was still
emerging from a deep recession, and the
deficit spiked to $1. 4 trillion, which
required Treasury to borrow 40 cents for
every dollar spent by the government. It
remained above $1 trillion for three more
years before declining to $439 billion last
year as the U.S. economy continues to slowly grow.

Im shocked that politicians Jerry Hill and

Its time for Measure I in Belmont

Editor,
Belmont hasnt asked for a general tax
increase since the 1970s. I look at all proposed taxes closely. Sometimes they make
sense, sometimes they dont. Belmonts
Measure I is a carefully thought-out, muchneeded measure. While federal and state dollars for local infrastructure have dried up,
Belmonts needs have increased. Our council
has taken a three-pronged approach to dealing with a massive deferred roads and storm
drain maintenance and replacement issue.
Keeping costs down at City Hall and solidifying innovative partnerships like sharing
aspects of re service with San Mateo and
Foster City, nally bringing in actual economic development, like the addition of
new hotels which will help produce muchneeded revenue down the road and letting the
citizens have their say on Measure I.
Measure I is a half-percent sales tax
increase. A reduction in the one-fourth percent sales tax from the state because of the
expiration of Proposition 30 means the net
increase is only one-fourth percent.
Groceries and medication are excluded from
this tax. On a $10 purchase, well only pay
an additional two-and-one-half cents. I particularly like the sales tax approach because
Belmont residents arent the only ones that
use our roads. Those who come to shop here
do, as well. It seems fair to share the burden
a bit. Since the tax is so low, businesses
arent going to feel an effect. Thats been
the case in San Mateo and South San
Francisco, both of which have similar
taxes.
Our roads are a mess and our storm drains
need major help. Its time to face our infrastructure issues head on; vote yes on I.

living in this area and have utilized all of
the facilities, such as the childrens park,

city-owned grassy eldwith soccer eld to

worked very hard to keep Bermuda Drive
closed to Saratoga Drive trafc to preserve
our quiet streets. We have endured numerous
construction projectsin thesurrounding
area and this year, we have really been feeling the squeeze of all the extra trafc and
congestion. With more to come in the near
future, the city has informed us that the cityownedpark in Fiesta Gardens is one location for a proposed sewage holding tank.
Enoughis enough. The holding tank that
the city is proposing can just as easily be
built on the corporation yard property
whichis already owned by the city. This can
truly be a win-win for all. Open parkspace
can be created in an increasing congested
area of our city; perhaps withplay area for

No on Belmont Measure I
Editor,
I vote no on Belmonts sales tax
Measure I for many reasons, including that
it is a 30-year General Fund blank check for
any use that future politicians want.
Heres another reason to vote no: the
city of Belmont is sitting on nearly $10
million in reserves over 33 percent of
operating expenses that could be used if
there were real needs. Why do they need
more when they already have the equivalent
of ve years of Measure I revenue sitting in
the bank?
Even the city manager conrms, in the
2017 budget, that revenues will exceed
expenses by 20 percent ($2.8 million) this
year. Plus there are several commercial
developments in construction right now
(Marriott and Hilton hotels, CSU School,
Clear Channel, two retail-condo projects on
El Camino Real and Autobahn expansion)
that will bring in an added $2 million tax
revenue yearly.

Measure Rs effects
on renters in Burlingame
Editor,
I received a piece of mail that appeared to
be from a nonpartisan source I recognize and
trust, the California Legislative Analysts
Ofce (LAO). The ofcial-looking mailer
displayed the LAO logo and the message,
Californias Legislative Analyst Shows
that Measure R Hurts Renters and
Burlingame, implying the LAO has
reviewed Measure R and published a report
on it. After careful inspection, I discovered
the dirty truth the mailer was produced by
the California Apartment Association
(CAA).
The LAO has publicly disavowed the
phony mailer. Their ofce has not published
a report on Measure R and does not take ofcial positions on ballot measures. Shame on
the apartment industry for trying to trick
voters by impersonating a government
ofce.
These deceptive tactics are old hat to the
tobacco industry, whose mailer arrived on
the same day with major funding by Philip
Morris and R.J. Reynolds. Listening to the
CAA tell me why they oppose rent stabilization is a lot like listening to the tobacco
industry tell me why a cigarette tax is bad.
Voters should follow the money the
CAA hires professional lobbyists and
spends millions of dollars to inuence elections in California. They represent the
interests of wealthy property owners, management corporations, developers and real
estate investors.
Demand for apartments will remain high,
whether or not Measure R passes the
industry is not under threat. Our concern
should be for the human beings who are
being displaced. I urge my neighbors to
vote yes on Measure R.

n San Mateo County, right between

San Francisco and Silicon Valley, 25
percent of Latino families cannot
afford a home computer, do not have internet
at home and are disconnected from the digital
economy that makes our region hum.
I know this because I am executive director
of the Chicana/Latina
Foundation, which since
1977 has worked to
empower Latinas through
education and training.
Although I have seen
great strides made in
internet connectivity and
digital literacy over the
past decade, Latinos are
still too far behind. Without home highspeed internet and computers, schoolchildren cannot to do their schoolwork, parents
cannot communicate with teachers, adults
cannot apply for jobs and seniors cannot
connect to health services.
And with every passing day, that digital
divide is widening because advances in technology invented right here in the Bay
Area are leading to socioeconomic opportunities in which the under-connected cannot
participate. Silicon Valley companies and
philanthropies should be ashamed that so
little attention is paid to this Latino digital
divide, which is right at their doorstep.
But there is much that can and should be
done quickly.
According to the California Emerging
Technology Funds 2016 Survey on
Broadband Adoption in California, the reason so many Latinos are under-connected is
cost. It is simply too expensive for families
making minimum and low wages to pay both
for a home computing device and high-speed
internet, along with a cellphone and a
monthly data service plan.
Think about it: Owning a computer and a
smartphone and paying for internet service
on both of them sets you back hundreds of
dollars per month. Now imagine if you were
making minimum wage working in a Bay
Area restaurant. After rent, food, commuting
and child care and health care costs would
you really be able to afford a Chromebook
and monthly broadband? Probably not.
The United Nations has declared access to
the internet a human right, but here in
California, one of the richest and most technologically innovative places in the world,
access is still a glaring problem.
Thats why Silicon Valley companies and
foundations must get in the habit of giving
away hundreds of thousands of free computers every year to the low-income people in
their backyards. The recent $10,000 donation, along with 400 laptops, from the Chan
Zuckerberg Initiative to Redwood City
schools is a small but important start.
Silicon Valley companies and foundations
must also reach out to the many communitybased nonprots working to provide lowincome Californians affordable computers
and broadband. Large internet service
providers like AT&T and Comcast offer lowcost monthly internet, but they also require
consumers to ll out many complicated
forms. Nonprots like the Chicana Latina
Foundation and Mission Economic
Development Association know how to help
low-income people take advantage of these
affordable offers, but they need staff and
resources to help navigate the process.
Community-based organizations are the
trusted messengers that can make a difference
in closing the digital divide.
The fact is getting Latino Californians
fully connected to our digital economy and
society is absolutely within our reach. But it
will require corporate benecence, smart philanthropy and funding for community-based
nonprots. Lets get this done and see more
boats rise on our increasingly digital sea.

activist and the executive director of the
California-based Chicana/Latina Foundation.

Stocks inch higher as banks rise, drugmakers fall

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks gave

up large gains and finished barely
higher Friday. Banks and technology companies traded higher,
while stocks that pay large dividends fell thanks to a jump in
bond yields.
Stocks were on track for large
gains early in the day as reports
showed consumers in both the
U.S. and China appeared to be
spending more. Banks rose after
JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup
disclosed solid quarterly results.
But the gains faded as the day wore
on. Drug company stocks continued to fall and energy companies
slipped.
The retail sales numbers on the
surface looked pretty good but
when you dig into them they were
not that great, said Mike Baele,
managing director at U.S. Banks
Private Client Reserve. It seems
like every good report we get, we
get an offsetting weaker report.

After the scandal, Wells Fargos damage becomes apparent

By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Its going to get

worse for Wells Fargo before it gets
better.
In the wake of the biggest scandal
in the banks 164-year history, distrustful customers are not opening
as many checking accounts or
applying for credit cards, and
branch visits and meetings between
customers and bankers are down,
too.
Wells has also been hit with sev-

eral lawsuits from customers,

employees and shareholders. There
are calls from politicians for fraud
charges against the bank. And
Wells almost surely faces settlements and fines way beyond the
$185 million it agreed to pay regulators when the scandal broke wide
open last month.
Or, as Wells Fargo executives put
it to Wall Street analysts, using
what has become a remarkably common term in this age of corporate
malfeasance, the banks legal
expenses are likely to be lumpy.

Wells Fargo executives, including newly appointed CEO Tim

Sloan, are having trouble quantifying what the long-term effect on the
bottom line will be.
Investors expect Wells to walk
away from this crisis mostly intact,
but it is apparent that the banks
recovery will be long and arduous.
For now, our immediate priority
is restoring trust in Wells Fargo,
Sloan said in a conference call with
investors Friday.
The San Francisco-based bank is
engulfed in a crisis that started in

mid-September,
when
Wells
reached a settlement over allegations that its employees opened up
to 2 million bank and credit card
accounts without customers
authorization in order to meet high
sales goals.
Under pressure from politicians
and investors, CEO John Stumpf
abruptly retired on Wednesday.
On Friday, Wells reported thirdquarter earnings of $5.6 billion,
down from $5.8 billion a year earlier. That is not a good measure of the
effects of the scandal, which didnt

break until the quarter was nearly

over.
But at Wells 6,000 U.S. branches, there are signs that customers
are backing away, even though the
bank says it clamped down on the
abuses over a year ago.
Wells reported a drop in what it
calls banker and teller interactions in September from both a
year ago and from August. Also,
consumer checking account openings dropped 25 percent in
September from a year earlier and
30 percent from August.

Yellen: Slow recovery from Recession

confounds economists expectations
By Pail Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federal Reserve Chair

Janet Yellen said Friday that the slow recovery from the Great Recession has surprised
economists, confounding long-held beliefs
about growth and inflation. Her remarks
could help explain why the Fed has been
reluctant to raise U.S. interest rates.
Speaking to an economic conference at
the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Yellen
did not address the Feds timetable for rates.
The central bank is widely expected to
resume raising rates in December, a reflection of an improved economy.
Yellen said sluggish worldwide growth
would likely keep global interest rates low,
making it harder for central banks to combat
the next recession with rate cuts.
As with the aftermath of the Great

ATLANTA When Tamika Cross tried to

was dismissed by a flight attendant who
doubted that the black woman was actually a

Cross, an OB-GYN based in Houston,
chronicled the incident on Facebook on

more than 15,000 comments, and sparked
the Twitter hashtag (hash)whatadoctorlook-

Recession, Yellen noted

that economists have at
times been baffled by the
economys refusal to
comply with their expectations during the
Great Depression of the
1930s, for example, and
the stagflation of the
Janet Yellen 1970s when high unemployment
co-existed
with high inflation.
The aftermath of the 2007-2009 crisis has
revealed limits in economists understanding of the economy, the Fed chair suggested. Tumbling home prices reduced consumers willingness to spend more than
economists had envisioned. And a steady
decline in the unemployment rate has failed
to lift wages and inflation as much as economic models would indicate.

Business brief
slike. The incident highlights the daily
slights felt by many black women because
of their race and gender, despite their accomplishments.
Im sure many of my fellow young, corporate America working women of color can
all understand my frustration when I say Im
sick of being disrespected, Cross wrote in
her post.

are troubled by any accusations of discrimination and take them very seriously.

Are lagging ratings an issue for NFL?

By Eddie Pells

Overall, for the first four weeks of the season,

ratings across the league were down 11 percent.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The slide in NFL ratings could be as much

a trend as a blip.
The presidential campaign, the growing
move away from cable, the increase in live
streaming sports and competition from
compelling baseball have all been given as
reasons for a double-digit decline in viewership through the first five weeks.
All legitimate explanations, experts say.
But one of the main selling points of live

sports to the networks theyre appointment viewing that most people dont like to
record and watch later could be eroding,
as the fan base fragments, even for
Americas most popular sport.
Its not to say that less than the majority
of people are going to sit down and watch
the game at a certain time, said Dennis
Deninger, who teaches sports management
and sports media courses at Syracuse. Its

just to say its retreating, and that retreat

puts into question the value thats been
attached to TV rights that were locked up for
the long-term.
According to Sports Media Watch , viewership for last weeks games was down 26
percent for Monday night, 15 percent for
Sunday night (against the second presidential debate) and 20 percent for Thursday
night. Overall, for the first four weeks of

the season, ratings across the league were

down 11 percent.
The decline was concerning enough that
league executives recently sent an internal
memo to the NFL media committee, comparing this years slide to a lesser decline during the 2000 election cycle and conceding
that, While our partners, like us, would
have liked to see higher ratings, they
remain confident in the NFL and unconcerned about a long-term issue.

Mateo takes charge

Bearcats down Scots
to take outright lead
in Lake Division race

San Mateo 38, Carlmont 23

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The way the San Mateo Bearcats are running

away with the Peninsula Athletic League Lake
Division may simply be unfair.
Through three league games, the Bearcats (30 PAL Lake, 5-2 overall) have outscored the
three best opponents the league has to offer
108-56. San Mateo claimed its most recent victim Friday night with a 38-23 win over
Carlmont (2-1, 3-4) at Usher Memorial Stadium.
The Bearcats out-gained the Scots in total
offense 408-245. The San Mateo defense kept
Carlmont out of the end zone until the end of the
third quarter. The dominant defensive performance allowed the versatile Bearcats offense to
open up a 38-9 lead midway through the fourth
quarter before Carlmont capped the night with a
pair of late touchdowns.
The defense, they brought it, San Mateo
quarterback Austin Salvail said. Were the kind
of team that our offense rallies around our
defense.
Salvail showed calm and precision in the
pocket, completing 6 of 9 passed for 146 yards
and a touchdown. But it was the runaway freight
train that is Anderson Perdomo that gave the
Carlmont defense fits.
Once they had to respect [Perdomo] running
the ball, it opened up things for me on the passing side, Salvail said.
Like every defense that goes up against the 57, 250-pound fullback, the Scots resorted to putting three or four bodies at a time on Perdomo to
bring him down, and still the senior rushed for a
game-high 158 yards on 20 carries and three
touchdowns.
Its tough to stand in front of someone like
that and square him up, San Mateo head coach
Jeff Scheller said. Well keep running him until
someone does.

The Peninsula gridiron hasnt seen gameday rain in a number of years. So it was not surprise that some first-half showers at Palatella
Field on the Menlo-Atherton campus wreaked
havoc on Menlo-Atherton and Sacred Heart
Prep in Friday afternoons Peninsula Athletic

The wild and rainy first quarter featured four
fumbles, two by each team in the opening
nine minutes, including three lost fumbles in
the span of four plays. But it was M-A (3-0 PAL
Bay, 5-2 overall) that regained its ball control
in the second half to roll to a 35-13 win over
the Gators (1-2, 1-6).
I was disappointed we turned the ball over
so much, M-A head coach Adhir Ravipati

Burlingame holds off Hillsdale in battle of running backs

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A couple of MASH units took the field when

the Hillsdale football team visited Burlingame
in a Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
meeting Friday night.
The Panthers were missing seven starters,
while the Knights were without their top two
quarterbacks.
It all added up to a tense, taught game that
wasnt decided until the final minutes. With
Burlingame clinging to a 21-13 lead, Hillsdale
was trying to put together a game-tying drive.
Starting at their own 30 with 8:38 to play, the
Knights methodically drove the ball down the
field, with running back Nate Rosas doing the
bulk of the work.
But facing a fourth-and-4 at the Panthers 7yard line, the Burlingame defense stiffened and
stopped Rosas short of the first down on his
29th carry of the game.
Burlingame took possession with just over
two minute left, picked up three first downs and
ran out the clock to preserve the win.
While
Burlingame
coach
John
Philipopoulos said he will look at game film
to find out where his team can improve, but
after the tough game he was just grateful to
pick up the victory.
Thats where were at, Philipopoulos said.
For our kids to respond and get that lat stop
that was clearly the difference in the game.
Hillsdale would be on the other end of spectrum, just trying to find a way to pick up its
first-ever PAL Bay Division win. For the second week in a row, however, the Knights came
up short.
We just have to find a way to finish games,
said Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi. At some
point, we just need to get over the hump.

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Burlingames Sean Saunders rushed for 153

yards and a TD on 15 carries.
The fact the Knights were even in the game
is a testament to their grit. They were without
Week 1 starting quarterback Ben Frame, who is
still out with injury, and the player who
stepped in for him in Week 2, Jeremy Teteak,
was out of town to walk his sister down the
aisle for her wedding.
Instead of anointing a third-string player,
Parodi went with a quarterback-by-committee
approach. Joey Sabel and Ben Carrithers each
spent time behind center, but the bulk of the
snaps went to running back Nate Rosas in
Hillsdales version of the Wildcat offense.
Parodi has known for a few weeks that he
would be without his top two quarterbacks, so
he started implementing Friday nights game
then.
We had a good time practicing this week.

We did our best to make it fun and interesting,

Parodi said. We put [Rosas] at the head of the
table and gave him 13 courses to eat.
Rosas did everything in his power to will
the Knights to the win. He carried the ball 29
times for 192 yards and touchdown. He also
threw a touchdown pass to Isaiah Cozzolino
on a running back option pass.
He was a great athlete tonight, Parodi said.
In the end, however, it wasnt quite enough
as the Hillsdale defense had its hands full trying to slow Burlingames ground attack, most
notably Sean Saunders, who rushed for 153
yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
Three times during the game Saunders kept
drives alive, and twice they resulted in touchdowns. In the first quarter of a scoreless game,
Burlingame faced fourth-and-6 from the
Hillsdale 28. Saunders took a toss from quarterback Carlo Lopiccolo, turned upfield a slithered his way to a 28-yard score, after nearly
having the ball stripped away from at the 15yard line.
In the third quarter, he bobbled a punt snap,
but scooped it up and raced 16 yards for a first
down. The Panthers would fumble the ball
away later in the drive.
On the second play of the fourth quarter,
Burlingame again went for it on fourth down,
needing a yard to keep the drive alive. Saunders
took the pitch and appeared to be hemmed into
the backfield by the Hillsdale defense. But
Saunders slipped the first two defenders and
ended up gaining three yards on the play. With
a fresh set of downs, Burlingame would go to
score on Cole Friedlanders second touchdown
of the game to give the Panthers a 21-13
advantage.
Hes fast. Hes got good moves,
Philipopoulos said of Saunders. Hes not
lacking confidence.

Saunders 28-yard scoring run put

Burlingame up 7-0 with 4:46 left in the first
quarter to cap a eight-play, 63-yard drive.
Hillsdale was hampered by some bad snaps
that resulted in some big losses in the first
quarter and hampered an already stripped-down
offense.
But the Knights defense was there to pick up
their offensive teammates. They stiffened
early in the second quarter and forced
Burlingame into a field goal attempt that it
missed.
But another bad snap on the Knights next
drive forced them to punt and this time the
Panthers took advantage with Friedlander
eventually bulling his way into the end zone
from 3 yards out to put Burlingame up 14-0
with 6:15 left in the first half.
Hillsdale responded with its best drive of the
night. Starting from its own 29, Hillsdale
moved the length of the field and struck pay
dirt when Sabel pitched the ball to Rosas on
what initially looked to be a sweep play. But
Rosas stopped and lofted a pass to a wide open
Cozzolino in the back of the end zone to cut
the Burlingame lead in half, 14-7, at the break.
The Knights appeared to have tied the game
on their first possession of the third quarter
after recovering a Burlingame fumble. Rosas
carried the ball six times on the seven-play
drive, the last of which he blasted into the end
zone for an 8-yard touchdown.
But the Knights failed to tie it up when the
holder on the extra point couldnt handle the
snap and his pass fell incomplete.
The Panthers would tack on an insurance
touchdown on a Friedlander 1-yard plunge to
give Burlingame a little more breathing room.
Even though we werent as clean as I wanted us to be, we played for four quarters,
Philipopoulos said.

M-A one win from Bay Division three-peat

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Menlo-Atherton all but wrapped up a threepeat as Peninsula Athletic League Bay

Division champions Thursday with a sweep
of second-place Carlmont.
With the 25-22, 25-18, 25-16 win, the
Bears (10-0 PAL Bay, 16-4 overall) increased
their lead to three games atop the division
standings with four to play. M-A can clinch at
least a tie for the league crown Tuesday
against last-place Sequoia, with matches
against Hillsdale (tied for last place with
Sequoia), sixth-place Terra Nova and
Burlingame rounding out the regular-season
slate.
Throughout M-As reign atop the Bay
Division starting in 2014, the team has
dropped just one league match, that coming
in 2015 to Carlmont. The Bears went undefeated in league in 2014 and are on track to do
the same this season.
It was business as usual for the Bears, who
continue to produce positive results in their
transition to a 6-2 offense. It has been an
ambitious move with one of the PALs 2015
assist leader, senior setter Kirby Knapp, having run the 5-1 offense for the previous three
years. Tuesday, Knapp and senior setter

The Bearcats may have pulled off the upset
of the water polo season by knocking off the
second-place Dons in PAL Ocean Division

It was San Mateos first win over Aragon in
six years.
After a tight first period that saw each team
score one goal apiece, San Mateo exploded in
the second and third quarters, outscoring the
Dons 9-2.
Nick Peeters led the way for San Mateo, finishing with eight goals. He led Bearcats
attack in the middle periods, scoring four
goals in the second quarter and three more in
the third. Jay Ward added three goals for the
Bearcats, while goaltender Nick Poelinger had
his best performance of the season, making

The homecoming-game crowd saw the
home-side stands at Usher Stadium packed on
the Carlmont campus. And the spirited pep
band directed by band leader John Dabaldo
and assistant director Brian Switzer, along
with its rocking 25-man drum corps, gave the
venue the vibe of a college game. And the
spirit exhibited in the Scots play while it
didnt show on the scoreboard followed
suit.
The physical game soon took its toll on
the field though. Carlmonts leading rusher
Demarii Blanks ran for 79 yards on 10 carries, but departed near the end of the first half
with concussion symptoms. While Blanks
had a massive performance last week with a
career-high 260 rushing yards against Mills,
he missed the previous game due to concussion symptoms.
Carlmont head coach Jake Messina wasnt

optimistic about the remainder of Blanks

junior year.
I think that will be it for the season,
Messina said.
To make matters worse, Scots running back
Devon Sagon had to be helped from the field
with an ankle injury in the second half.
Sagon had been enjoying a career night, rushing for a team-best 140 yards on 15 carries
and a touchdown.
They have some home run hitting offensive guys and its scary, Scheller said.
Theyre a good team. Next year, a lot of
those guys are coming back. Theyre going
to be a good team.
Carlmont opened the game with an uptempo pace in the wing-T offense, and got
within 2 yards of a touchdown but ultimately
settled for a field goal. The costly mistake
came after a third-and-2 run was halted at the
line of scrimmage and Carlmont was called
for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Scots place kicker Henry Reich still banged
through a 35-yard field goal. But it was a miscue that haunted Carlmont, according to
Messina.

kinds of mistakes, Messina said.
San Mateo responded by grinding down the

the night to spread the Scots thin. Then
Perdomo showed surprising acceleration for a

move the ball to the Carlmont 1-yard line.
Perdomo pounded it in on the following play

Las Vegas stadium plan clears Legislature

By Michelle Rindels
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARSON CITY, Nev. The

Nevada Legislature has signed off on
a plan that would use $750 million
in public money to build an NFL stadium in Las Vegas, despite opposition to a project partly funded by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon
Adelson.
A cadre of lobbyists for the project
worked hard to firm up enough of the
shaky votes to meet the necessary
two-thirds threshold and scraped by
with the minimum amount of support Friday when lawmakers called
for a quick vote without the customary speeches. Republican Gov.
Brian Sandoval, whos been supportive of the project, is expected to
sign the deal Monday in Las Vegas.
Its exciting, said Andy Abboud,
chief lobbyist for casino mogul
Adelsons Las Vegas Sands, after the
sudden vote. But this is really about
jobs, and I think at the end of the day
people saw this as a fantastic economic stimulus package.
The Nevada Senate gave final
approval to some minor changes,
after the Assembly voted 28-13 and
the Senate voted 16-5 in favor of the
bill. The measure would raise hotel
taxes by up to 1.4 percentage points
in the Las Vegas area to fund a convention center expansion and build
a 65,000-seat domed stadium back-

Stanford-Notre Dame loses some of its luster

By Tom Coyne
THE ASSSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Stanford vs. Notre

Dame looked like a marquee game before the
season began.
Its not drawing much midseason interest.
Not with the Fighting Irish (2-4), who started
the season ranked No. 10, trying to avoid losing three straight at home for the first time
since 2007, and the Cardinal (3-2), ranked No.
8 in preseason, trying to avoid their first
three-game losing streak since 2007.
Stanford also could be without Heisman
Trophy runner-up Christian McCaffrey
because of an unspecified injury . So instead of
a game with playoff implications, like last
year when the teams traded leads twice in the
final 30 seconds, both head into Saturday
struggling.

I still believe were a good football team

trying to find its way, Stanford coach David
Shaw said. We have these things that are correctable and guys who are capable.
The Cardinal have been blown out in backto-back games, losing 44-6 to Washington
and 42-16 to Washington State. Stanford,
known for its dominant offensive lines, has
struggled up front. The Cardinal rank 100th in
the nation in rushing, averaging 140.8 yards,
and 106th in sacks allowed.
Shaw said the offensive line is not the only
unit not playing consistently well.
We have been inconsistent one through
11. It looks like the offensive line because we
didnt run with any efficiency early in the
game and because of the sacks. We all have a
hand in it, he said.
The problem for the Irish is their defense.
Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder was

fired three weeks ago, and the offense hasnt

been able to come up with enough big plays
late. Kelly believes the Irish need a win to get
things going.
They just have to break through. Theyre
doing all of the things I am asking them to do.
Theyve just got to go win, he said.
It will be the first time since 2009 the
Cardinal and Irish have played where neither
is ranked.
Other things to know about the StanfordNotre Dame:

Slowing McCaffrey
The Irish were successful in slowing
McCaffrey last season, holding him to 94
yards on 29 carries with no touchdowns.
If you can control the line of scrimmage or
win the match-ups up front, you can definitely
slow him down, said Kelly, who expects

opening possession courtesy of a pair of big gainers, one by
air and one by ground. With the Bears at their own 29, senior
quarterback Aajon Johnson connected with Mekhi Blackmon
for a 43-yard completion into SHP territory. On the following
play, senior running back Jordan Mims bounced off left tackle
to dash for a 28-yard score, giving M-A a 7-0 lead.
But in the second half, SHP misfired for three interceptions on
its first four possessions. And M-A rode the momentum wave to
a runaway win.
We know were a second-half team, Blackmon said. We
always come on a little slow.
Johnson had a big day under center for the Bears. While senior running back Jordan Mims who entered the day ranked in
the top five among PAL rushers ran for 104 yards on 18 carries, it was the dual-threat quarterback Johnson who stole the
show.
Johnson was not detoured by the elements, taking to the air
for 177 yards on 7-of-12 passing and two touchdowns. He also
rushed for a game-high 131 yards on 12 carries and another
score.
Aajon showed some of that big play ability, Ravipati said.
While [Mims] gets a lot of the headlines, we have a lot of ways
of attacking on offense.
SHPs rash of second-half interception throws started when
M-A senior defensive lineman Leo Cucinell stifled the opening
drive of the second half, nabbing an interception near midfield.
Johnson responded with two big pass completions, a 12yarder to Spencer Corona to advance a third-and-6. Three plays

later, Johnson connected with a wide-open Blackmon on a fade
route up the sideline for a 23-yard score, giving M-Aa 21-7 lead.
Less than a minute later the Bears struck again. This time
Blackmon produced an interception on an underthrown pass,
giving M-A possession smack dab at midfield. But Johnson got
greedy and cashed in, hitting senior Marquise Reid downfield for
a 50-yard scoring pass, putting the Bears sternly in control 287 midway through the third quarter.
We felt really comfortable throwing the ball in the rain,
Ravipati said. Our quarterback is comfortable in those situations. When those opportunities came we were able to execute.
M-A didnt stop there. After an SHP three-and-out, Bears backup quarterback Miles Conrad entered the game and quickly got

Injury update
Both teams expect to get key contributors

to have running back Tarean Folston, who
missed the past two games.

faced with a fourth-and-2. Conrad delivered in the clutch though,

completing a 9-yard throw to Corona to sustain the drive.
Conrad later hit senior Michael Mooring for a 23-yard screen
pass to move to the SHP 2-yard line. Mims blasted in for the
score on the following play, giving the Bears a 35-7 advantage.
SHP turned to backup quarterback Brad Yaffe. The junior has
been a defensive mainstay this season, splitting time between
defensive end and linebacker. Friday marked his varsity debut
under center.
While Gators starting WB Thomas Wine was just 1-of-9 passing with two interceptions, Yaffe completed 8 of 13 passes for
167 yards with a touchdown, though he too was plagued by two
interceptions.
The SHP ground game was paced by senior running back Isoa
Moimoi in his third game back from a hamstring injury.
Moimoi rushed for 86 yards on 21 carries.
Im getting better every week, Moimoi said. That first
game (two weeks ago) against Burlingame I was a little rusty.
But now Im feeling good. It was just a great game by [M-A].
Theyre a great team.
Following the flurry of first-half turnovers, M-A still held the
7-0 edge. But SHP evened the score in the second quarter with
fantastic field possession thanks to an M-A turnover on downs
with a botched punt turning into a sack at the M-A 26-yard line.
Seven plays later, Wine banged in a 1-yard QB sneak to tie it 77.
It took M-A just three plays to retake the lead though, with
Johnson bolting untouched right through the middle of the line
on a quarterback keeper to score a 51-yard TD, giving the Bears
the lead for good at 14-7.
With the win, first-place M-A remains the only PAL Bay
Division team to remain unbeaten in league play.

Continued from page 1
the Grand Avenue library, 306 Walnut Ave.,
to honor the reopening of the facility under
construction for roughly the past year.
The $3.1 million project included building a 1,171-square-foot patio, an outdoor
seating area and new bathrooms, adding
improved technology, as well as a variety of
structural fixes, according to library director Valerie Sommer.
The building, financed for construction
more than 100 years ago by philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie, was due for the variety of
fixes designed to improve library services
for South San Francisco residents, said
Sommer.
We are giving this jewel back to the
community with new and exciting
upgrades, she said.
The city financed about $2 million of the
improvements, and $900,000 was granted

county.
Starting July 1, 2020, the living wage
rate will increase annually by no more than
3.5 percent.
By the five-year sunset date, the hourly
wage will be $18.03.
The total wage increase for contract
workers will be $7.53 an hour by Dec. 31,
2021, when the pilot sunsets.
A public hearing and board action will be
required to extend the living wage beyond
Dec. 31, 2021.
This is not just a bump in salaries but
will hopefully allow people to live closer
to work and help nonprofits to keep their
good employees, Groom said Friday.
Weve got good people working for our

Supervisors with money from the Measure A
half-cent sales tax fund. The rest of the
money was contributed by local family
foundations or friends of the library.
The work will enhance the capacity of the
library, and better prepare the site to host
the variety of enrichment programs it hosts
such as after-school services for local students as well as computer literacy classes
and art and crafts workshops, said Sommer.
The improvements were selected based on
the feedback received during a thorough
community outreach program, said Sommer,
guaranteeing the work will address the needs
and desires of those who use the library
most often.
What we are giving back to the community is what they requested, she said.
The site is the citys smaller, neighborhood library downtown and a branch to the
main facility, 840 W. Orange Ave.
Sommer said the Grand Avenue library is
particularly popular among those shopping
downtown who swing by while out patronizing local businesses. Research showed

those who frequent the downtown library

walk there much more frequently, and driving is the most common method of traveling to the main site.
She said the foot traffic is indicative of
the Grand Avenue library being an amenity
for those living nearby.
It is really a community destination
space, she said.
The downtown site is also a popular place
for students to congregate after school or
attend education programs over the summer.
Some of the enhancements will address the
demands of such services, said Sommer.
The new library will have 28 public
access computers, 14 more than the previous site, as well as new tablets and laptops.
During the construction, crews recognized infrastructure improvements needed to
be addressed, so the renovated library will
feature a new plumbing as well as heating,
air conditioning and ventilation systems.
This 100-year-old building will be operating like it is brand new, she said.
The additional work caused the project to
be completed a few months later than the

date initially anticipated, but Sommer said

following the upcoming ceremony the
library will be back and ready to function
better than ever before on its regular schedule.
Im so happy and proud and appreciative
of the high level of community support and
the library staff cannot wait to continue the
proud tradition of service to South San
Francisco, she said.
Though her enthusiasm was left unaffected
by the expected storm this weekend,
Sommer said the services planned for the
grand opening ceremony will be a bit
watered down.
Rather than offering free hot dogs to
those who attend the event, which had been
originally planned, the only food available
will be cookies, coffee and lighter snacks.
Yet still, Sommer said she is thrilled for
the community to get its first glance at the
renovated library.
Its like a whole new building, she said.
The grand opening ceremony will begin
10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at the Grand
Library, 306 Walnut Ave.

nonprofits and we want to keep them

there.
The working group included Bart Charlow
with Samaritan House, Bruce Ives with
LifeMoves, Arne Croce with Peninsula
Family Service and Anita Rees with the
Pacifica Resource Center among others, all
agencies with which the county partners.
Existing contracts cannot be required to
comply with the ordinance until they come
up for renewal or renegotiation.
To allow contractors ample time to negotiate the cost of the living wage into new
contracts, compliance with the ordinance is
voluntary until April 1, 2017.
After that, all covered contracts must
comply with the living wage ordinance.
The wage is being raised as the cost of
living in San Mateo County is one of the
highest in the nation, with the top 5 percent of households earning $614,990 annually, according to a subcommittee report
the board will hear Tuesday.

As the economy strengthened after the

Great Recession, higher wage earners have
seen their incomes recover and keep pace
with, or exceed, inflation but lower wage
earners have not seen the same level of
recovery, according to the report.
The federal minimum wage is just $7.25
an hour and at least 29 states and the District
of Columbia have adopted minimum wages
higher than the federal minimum.
In California, the minimum wage will
increase to $15 an hour Jan. 1, 2022.
The San Mateo City Council adopted a
minimum wage ordinance that incrementally raises the wage to $15 an hour by Jan. 1,
2019, for for-profit businesses. Nonprofits
have an additional year, until January
2020, to comply with the city ordinance.
The cost to the county to implement its
living wage ordinance will be $4.2 million.
Contractors found to be out of compliance with the ordinance could have their

contracts terminated.
The subcommittee recommends a simple
enforcement process that provides a single
point of contact in the county Purchasing
Division for contractor employees with
complaints. Purchasing will forward complaints to the contracting department for an
initial review. Complaints with merit will
be referred to an outside auditor for analysis, according to the subcommittee report.
Based on the average of the implementation costs provided by Samaritan House and
LifeMoves, boosting the wage to $17 an
hour could increase contract costs 3.3 percent. The Health System and the Human
Services Agency have a total of $68 million in current contracts with nonprofit
agencies. A 3.3 percent increase in all of
these contracts would be $2.1 million,
according to the subcommittee report.
The board meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18,
400 County Center, Redwood City.

Difference between
stress and anxiety
By Megan Tao

productions and dog shows

but lacks the spark of Guests
previous films. Mascots
never really gels, with only a
few notable skits and characters.
In the film, the lovable
weirdos under the microscope

wo students dont turn in their

homework. One of them freaks out
over their grade. The other student
freaks out over their grade and how this
will destroy their college prospects, which
determines their future happiness and success. That one missing homework assignment constantly eats away at the other student because their whole world depends on
it.
Both students are under
a considerable amount of
stress, one is purely academic while the other is a
form of anxiety.
Can you spot the difference?
Stress stems from the
external pressures we feel
in life such as a deadline or a test grade, but
how we react to the stress can cause anxiety. Anxiety is an overwhelmingly negative response to stress that is constant and
can feel like impending doom.
As a high school senior dealing with college apps, advanced classes, extracurricular
activities and still trying to enjoy my last
year of high school, stress is normal.
I am definitely not the only high school
student who has felt stressed out or overwhelmed because of school.
According to a survey by the American
Psychological Association, 45 percent of
teenagers said they were stressed out
because of school.
Since more and more high school students have been experiencing academic
stress, its harder for the students who
experience the anxiety beyond academic
stress to receive help. With more students
feeling stressed out, it has also become
harder to differentiate between stress and
anxiety.
Its worse when the student who has anxiety doesnt know its more than just stress
theyre experiencing because they dont
understand how other students are easily
coping with stress, which makes them even
more anxious and invokes more negative
responses.
As a result of this lack of differentiation,
there havent been many initiatives to
combat academic-related anxiety because
too many students are feeling stressed out,
which makes the students with anxiety
afraid to come forward.
Not only have we done nothing to com-

Key pretrial hearing in Cosby criminal case set for November

By Maryclaire Dale
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA A crucial pretrial hearing set for next month in Bill Cosbys
criminal sex-assault case will determine
whether jurors hear from 13 other accusers
and see the damaging testimony he gave in
a 2005 civil case.
Prosecutors in suburban Philadelphia
hope to call the other women to try to show
that the actor-comedian has been drugging
and molesting women since the 1960s.

Defense lawyers have

promised a showdown
over their testimony,
arguing that the blind,
79-year-old Cosby can
no longer even recognize the women, least yet
recall details of any
encounters.
Because of the comBill Cosby
monwealths delay, Mr.
Cosby can no longer defend himself,
defense lawyers Brian McMonagle and

Angela Agrusa wrote last week in a motion

to dismiss the charges. Compounding the
problem are the vague allegations of many
of the accusers about the time and place of
the alleged incidents.
The criminal case involves only a single
2004 encounter with Andrea Constand, who
met Cosby at Temple University in
Philadelphia, where he was a famous booster and trustee and she managed the womens
basketball team. Her lawyer said she was
dating a woman at the time and went to
Cosbys home for advice about a career

change.
Cosby, in a 2006 deposition, said they
engaged in consensual petting that
included digital penetration. Cosby also
acknowledged giving her three unlabeled
blue pills for stress. Constand said she
thought it was herbal medication until they
left her in a stupor.
Cosbys felony sex-assault trial is scheduled for June 5 in Norristown, about 20
miles northwest of Philadelphia. The pretri-

Billy Bob Thornton

takes outsider role
to heart in Goliath
By Mike Cidoni Lennox
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Marcus Fenix is too old for this ...

well, you know the drill.
Fortunately, the hero of Microsofts
Gears of War franchise has a son, JD,
whos more than happy to pick up
dads old weapons. So as Gears of War
4 (Microsoft, for the Xbox One, PC,
$59.95) begins, its fresh-faced JD and
friends fighting the dictatorial
Coalition of Governments on the
planet Sera.
Sera may look at lot different to
Gears fans who are used to seeing it
swarming with Locusts, the insectoid
killing machines that Marcus and company wiped out in earlier games. Not to
worry: You cant keep a good monster
down, and before long JD and his team
are trying to rescue their loved ones
from fresh mutations.
There are some creatively vicious
critters in this new batch: One will
swallow you whole and start digesting
unless your squad-mates bust you out.
And there are fresh weapons, like a gun
that fires razor-tipped discs that

bounce from foe to foe.

But Gears 4 quickly falls into a
familiar rhythm of firefights, initially
against COG droids, then against the
reawakened, increasingly powerful
bugs. Veterans know the routine: find
cover, shoot, reload, move to the next
cover, repeat.
Its a somewhat stale formula, broken up by the occasional mission
where youre defending a village rather
than taking the fight to the monsters.
I found the single-player campaign
tedious and repetitive until the very
end, when it finally picks up some
momentum only to end rather
abruptly.
Still, Gears aficionados will regard
the campaign as a mere appetizer to
multiplayer action. Gears 4 delivers
a beefy menu of online competition,
with
reliable
standbys
like
Deathmatch and King of the Hill.
There are some nifty new twists: In
Dodgeball, a downed warrior can return
to the battlefield if an opposing player is killed, while in Arms Race, your
weapons are upgraded after every three
kills.

If youre in a more cooperative

mood, Horde mode lets you team up
with four other humans to fight off 50
waves of droids and beasts, with a particularly nasty boss every 10th round.
Gears 4 adds classes to the mix, so
you can focus on long-range sniping,
building defensive turrets and barricades, or leaping into the fray with
your chain saw-equipped gun.
Beyond the Marcus-JD family drama,
Gears 4 represents a changing of the
guard in other ways. Franchise creator
Epic Games has moved on, leaving the
series in the hands of a Microsoftbased development team called The
Coalition.
The new generation has done a worthy job upholding Epics legacy. The
weapons have distinctive heft and
power, the enemies feel suitably
squishy and the entire project looks
spectacular.
Still, this is real meat-and-potatoes
gaming that doesnt evolve much
beyond go there and shoot that.
Gears fans will be satisfied; anyone
seeking a brainier challenge can move
along. Two-and-a-half stars out of four.

WEST HOLLYWOOD Billy Bob Thornton was honored

with an Oscar nearly 20 years ago, but he still feels like a
Hollywood outsider.
Thats one of the reasons the actor
says he took on the role of down-and-out
lawyer Billy McBride in the latest drama
from executive producer David E. Kelley
(Boston Legal, The Practice),
Goliath, debuting Friday on Amazon.
I feel like theres a parallel (to Billy)
in my own life, in some ways, Thornton
said in a recent interview.
Billy Bob
Ive never really been much of a part
Thornton
of Hollywood. Im either at home or Im
working, thats about it, and so I kind of kind of responded
to a guy like this because Ive always felt like I was a little
guy against the system, to a degree.
Goliath casts Thornton and William Hurt as former lawfirm partners on the opposite sides of a major trial.
This was the type of character that I was looking to play.
... someone who was kind of down-and-out, looking to
reclaim his life, seeking redemption and trying to get his
dignity back, said the actor, who won an Oscar in 1997 for
the Sling Blade screenplay.
Thornton, who appeared in the big-screen legal drama
The Judge, said he learned a lot about the law on the
Goliath set.
I learned ... that there are ways that you can insult a
judge, you can do all kinds of things and not necessarily be
carted off in a straitjacket, said the actor.
Later this year, Thornton will return to movie theaters
with Bad Santa 2, a sequel to the 2003 comedy that was
something of a four-letter-word, live-action, gin-soaked
Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
I think this one is a little more emotional than the first
one was, Thornton said.
Its got more of the story arc, but we still have the nastyfunny stuff and some of that went even further. But we didnt
go out and make a goofy sequel where we just pulled out
everything, including the kitchen sink. ... We stayed in the
world of the first one with a new story.
At age 61, Thornton has already triumphed in film and television, and also found success as a recording artist. And
yet he continues to dream.

HOUSING
Continued from page 1
rently exists along San Mateos portion of
El Camino Real. But, it could one day
become the norm, according to various commissioners citing planning documents for
the heavily used corridor.
The regional housing crisis was the underlying theme as planners reviewed what some
referred to as one of the most complex, and
highest-density proposals the city has considered as of late.
Despite considerable public backlash
from nearby residents who advocated for a
less dense proposal commissioners contend citywide pros outweigh possible perceived neighborhood cons.
We have a serious housing problem here
in San Mateo, Vice Chair Eric Rodriguez
said, according to a live video of Thursdays
meeting. If we cannot justify putting a fivestory building on a six-lane highway El
Camino across the street from the soonto-be Caltrain station, on a SamTrans bus
line; if we cannot justify that, then were in
serious trouble here.
While many residents cited common concerns such as impacts to already limited
parking and traffic congestion, officials
noted theres long-planned for changes on
the horizon.
The City Council will have the ultimate
say, likely in 2017, as to whether it will
approve the five-story development on El
Camino Real between 27th and 28th
avenues. The state-owned highway has
long been considered for higher-density

developments as part of the Grand Boulevard

Initiative a multi-jurisdiction planning
document formed with prior public input.
El Camino has only started to change and
evolve in the last 10 years. Its taken a long
time, Planning Commissioner Charlie
Drechsler said. This applicant is responding to those modernized plans.
Developers seek to create 74 for-sale
units, which include two-, three- and fourbedroom units, as well as nearly 13,400
square feet of ground-floor commercial
space. In exchange for the high 51 percent
density bonus, the developer would offer
eight below-market-rate units some to
very-low income earners.
Commissioners noted the project, per
state laws, is legally entitled to build 67
units under a 35-percent density bonus. The
applicant is also seeking an allowable
height increase to 55 feet that would be
the majority of the plate line although a few
portions of the structure would rise up to 71
feet tall.
The public commented at length during a
Sept. 27 meeting that dragged on past midnight, prompting the commission to postpone their decision until this week. A large
stack of printed emails from residents was
on the dais and several commissioners
defended themselves against allegations
such as city officials are in the pockets of
the developers.
I take my role very seriously, said Chair
Dianne Whitaker, responding to those comments. She ultimately voted against the
project citing design concerns and building
height.
Residents remained concerned by the size
and density of the project that would be a
substantial change from the existing vacant

lot and Taxis Hamburgers building, which is

being used by a used-car dealer.
Walter Schwartz lives nearby and helped
organized a group known as Livable San
Mateo. The group advocates for a four-story,
less-dense proposal with setbacks and
Schwartz has emphasized their opposition
isnt about NIMBYism.
The meeting was one step in the process.
Livable San Mateo and I will continue to
look for a reasonable accommodation to
overwhelming input from the neighborhood. There were over 500 petition signers, Schwartz said after the meeting while
citing traffic, parking, height and density
concerns.
We want an attractive mixed-use development on that site and we want as many lowand moderate-income units as the developer
is willing to include within the citys own
zoning, Schwartz said. We will not be
positioned as anti-growth or anti-affordable
housing. Were not.
He also expressed concern by commissioners comments these kinds of larger
developments would become the norm along
El Camino Real.
While the commission expressed sympathy with the Beresford neighborhoods concerns, officials noted the public was often
citing existing problems such as limited
parking and traffic impacts. Instead, they
suggested the neighborhood take up a residential parking permit program.
They also noted that by todays metrics,
the project should generate substantially
fewer vehicle trips, could help cut down on
the new residents commutes and expressed
optimism about the transit-oriented wave of
the future.
We are seeing more people use bikes, use

the railroad. We are at a critical point with

transportation, Drechsler said.
The proposed Hillsdale Terrace, just north
of the Hillsdale Shopping Center, would be
across from the future relocated Caltrain station. The potential residents might also
have an easier time traversing to the massive Bay Meadows mixed-use development,
as new grade separations are planned for
25th, 28th and 31st avenues at the train
tracks.
Commissioners also praised the project as
providing ownership opportunities to people making very low incomes, which are a
rare commodity. Although the city has an
inclusionary ordinance, most developers
create units for low- or median-income earners, not for those making the very lowest
wages.
The developer will contribute $400,000;
which was originally supposed to go toward
the $650,000 cost of making median and
crosswalk improvements along El Camino
Real. As part of its recommendation to the
council, the commission suggested the
funds go toward road improvements or to a
city child care fund.
While the commissioners and existing
neighbors considered the future of the site,
there was a sense that, despite disagreements, things are changing.
Change is difficult and not many people I
know like it, Drechsler said, noting higherdensity transit-oriented developments will
help house millennials and future generations. It behooves all of us to be a part of
that movement. This is a step in the right
direction.

this wage increase, thatll eat it up.

Restaurants are also not exempt from the
Bay Areas rising costs. Commercial rents
increase, food and beverage prices go up and
retaining employees already means paying a
decent wage, said Goldberg and Alicia
Petrakis, owner of Three Restaurant.

person receives a raise, restaurateurs say others will want one too. Plus, many making
minimum wage are tipped employees, who
actually bring home the most at the end of a
night. In the end, giving multiple raises
leaves less money to spend on those who
need it most, which tend to be kitchen staff or
those in the back, they said.
Like a rock thrown into a pond, increasing
wages entails related costs such as workers compensation, payroll tax and more.
Petrakis, who said she employs about 50,
expects the wage increase will translate to
about $150,000 to $250,000 a year for her
restaurant. Staying on budget could mean she
needs to increase sales by nearly 20 percent.
If we knew of something else we could do,
we would already be doing it. This is a very
challenging business on a good day,
Petrakis said. Do you think people are just
going to say god, we love our community
and San Mateo restaurants; were going to
pay 20 percent more for a burger in San
Mateo?
They also argue it puts them at a disadvantage as they compete with neighboring cities
to attract customers. San Mateo isnt alone in
hiking wages, others have done so in Santa
Clara County while Belmont officials have
broached the topic. But none in San Mateo
County currently has a higher-than-the state
minimum wage.
So in the meantime, San Mateo restaurants
may be at a disadvantage, the owners argue.
The playing field is no longer level,
Goldberg said. Its a lot of money when you
dont have it.

for the increase in labor costs. Its similar to

what other cities have seen in response to the
health care-related costs, Goldberg said.

Impacts resonate
And then theres the ripple effect; if one

YOUR ONE-STOP TRAVEL CENTER!

Prompted by rising costs

With Bay Area rents higher than the state
average, some contend a geographical wage
adjustment is appropriate. The Raise the
Wage Coalition has supported similar initiatives throughout the region and the San
Mateo City Council agreed to act.
The restaurant owners dont disagree people
are struggling, small businesses included.
Instead, they sought a slower implementation schedule before the council approved the
increase in July after considering the changes
for more than a year.
The current statewide $10 minimum wage
will increase by 50 cents next year and continue until it hits $15 in 2022. San Mateo has
a two-step increase with the minimum hitting
$12 Jan. 1, 2017, then $13.50 the following
year and $15 by 2019. Charitable nonprofits
have an extra year to adapt.
Layoffs are out of the question, as it would
be bad business to cut back on quality of service. Instead, its likely the increase will trickle down to customers. The three local restaurant owners are floating the idea of having a
percentage fee on customers bills to account

Visit city ofsanmateo.org for more information.

Questioning the consequences

Dave Hunsaker, who employs about 18
people at his restaurant 31st Union, noted a
surcharge could make customers less inclined
to leave servers as much of a tip. Hunsaker,
who opened his business in 2012, said he
wants whats best for his employees, but
wonders how hell be able to make up to
$4,000 more a month.
Im going to have to figure out a way to
increase sales or take home less money, said
the Burlingame resident and father of three
young children.
With people across the region struggling
to afford rents, its also had an impact on their
customer base, Petrakis said.
People are paying so much in rent, they
dont have this immense amount of disposable income to then go spend on going out to
eat, Petrakis said.
Less flexible income also means it will be
harder for small businesses to support local
nonprofits or participate in community
events, Hunsaker added.
San Mateo prides itself on being named the
best small town for food thanks to a
Rand McNally internet contest. But Hunsaker
said if they want downtown to be full of corporate restaurants, chain restaurants, the
route theyre going right now is going to
solidify that in the future.
Overall, one of their major fears is the
unknown such as exactly how much it will
cost and whether customers will be willing to
continue supporting local businesses.
I dont think anyone really knows how
adversely it affects everybody until the first
few months, Hunsaker said. I do think by
June, you are going to see other restaurants or
businesses that just say, forget it.
But none of them got into the business for
an easy ride. Petrakis has 20 years of experience under her belt and opened her restaurant
in 2003. Goldberg said hes been running his
downtown locale for about five years now and
expects the increase will cost him between
$75,000 and $150,000 more a year.
Each agreed losing restaurants means losing jobs, and hope the community will rally
behind them to help them stay in businesses.
For some, their restaurants, customers and
employees are equivalent to family.
I enjoy taking care of people, having
camaraderie with the employees. But its a
grind, I work probably six days a week,
Hunsaker said. I dont mind working a lot of
hours and being away from my kids at times.
Alicia and Brad and I really put forward our
support behind downtown San Mateo and
looking for it to succeed.

Danson in a good place as star of The Good Place

By Frazier Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK While prepping for his

role on NBCs The Good Place, Ted
Danson stopped by Wardrobe to get his
character outfitted.
I was kind of floundering. I wasnt quite
sure how to do this. Then the costume
designer said, I dont know how you feel
about bow ties, but I have some. And I
said, Oh! THATS who I am!
Bow ties make a real statement, he
observes, flashing his bright smile.
Theyre always slightly overeager. My
bow tie gave me permission to be as silly
as I needed to be.
On The Good Place (Thursday at 8:30
p.m. EDT), he plays Michael, a bow-tiesporting celestial supervisor who, indeed,
is a bit overeager, sometimes overwrought
and clearly in over his head. Despite his
eagerness to prove himself to a certain
Higher-up, things dont always go smoothly in the sector of the afterlife that Michael
oversees.
For instance, unbeknownst to him, he is
harboring an undeserving soul named
Eleanor (co-star Kristen Bell) who, through
a screw-up, has landed in the Good Place
rather than the Bad Place, where she
belongs.
Eleanors challenge: to masquerade as
good enough to keep Michael from catching on to this major snafu, even as her
presence disrupts the all-pervasive bliss in
various chaotic ways.
For Danson, The Good Place has been
a good time.
Heres the hardest part: to not talk

about the entire season. I just want to giggle and tell you the whole story, he says.
The Good Place is a serialized comedy
with a story arc stretching across the seasons 13 episodes as crafted by the shows creator, Michael Schur
(Brooklyn NineNine, Parks and
Recreation and
Master of None),
who has likened its
evolving, anythinggoes essence to
Lost-with-laughs.
I wanted to do
another comedy, says
Danson, who made sitcom
history
a
quarter-century ago in

Cheers and since then has scored with

Becker, Bored to Death and Curb Your
Enthusiasm.
I listened to Mike pitch his idea for an
hour, he says. He had the entire first season nailed down, and it was so strange! I
signed on without seeing a script, which is
kind of unheard of.
Though production wrapped last month,
Danson was just getting started.
Shooting was fun, but watching it has
been very scary, he confides. The first
time I watch an episode, Im devastated
that Im just me, Ted, and Im picking
myself apart. The next time, I go, Ah, I
guess Im not that bad. And around the
third time, I think, There are OTHER
actors in this piece and arent they wonderful! And oh, look theres a
STORY! He chuckles.
It takes me that
long to really see
it.
My wife
fellow
actor
M a r y
S t e e n b urg e n
gets so
mad at me!
For all its
a b s ur di t y ,
The Good
P l a c e
does have
a serious
undercurrent. As
Michael
i n fo rms
n e w
arri v al s ,

everything a person has done in life has a

ripple effect that puts a certain measure of
good or bad into the universe.
Maybe there isnt really a quantifiable
scoring system that determines if youre a
Good Place candidate (and only one out of
every 450-odd cases are, as Michael
explains), but Danson believes theres a
lesson here nonetheless.
A lot of times we forget that everything
we do has an impact, he notes.
In this Twitter world, we sometimes
behave as if it doesnt matter how we act.
And it does.
Danson, who turns 69 in December, has
come a long way since his breakout performance in the 1981 film Body Heat
(with water spritzed on him and his co-stars
to look like sweat when, in fact, their
Florida location was chilled by a mid-30s
cold snap) and his decadelong Cheers run
as the Boston barkeep who knew everybodys name.
Life these days is good, he reports. There
are grandchildren to spoil. Steenburgen is
having fun of her own on the Fox comedy
The Last Man on Earth.
And our friend Hillary is running, he
adds. So its a very scary time and a
vibrant time.
He doesnt mention Hillarys last name
or bring up her rival, Donald Trump, in this
bruising presidential race.
Theres just so much fear and anger out
there, he muses instead, and its easy to
get sucked into that. Its OK to be critical of
what needs to be changed. But we need to
come at it with a positive attitude. The
worlds not falling apart. Theres a lot to
do, but its not falling apart.

Nearly six months later,

Prince fans still mourning
By Leanne Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Have you ever missed someone so much

that even the thought of them made you burst into tears?
Now imagine that feeling drenched in
purple rain.
Nearly six months after the shocking
death of Prince, some superfans are still
grieving hard, creating tearful memes,
snapping up I Still Miss Prince T-shirts
featuring a despondent Charlie Brown,
sharing photos and seeking solace in an
explosion of fresh concert videos and
unreleased music on YouTube.
Prince
They see no end in sight to their sadness, especially with regular Prince developments in the
news details on the death investigation, his house being
turned into a museum and Thursdays official tribute concert
in his hometown of Minneapolis among them.
Maria Newport still cries regularly over the loss. She
broke up with her boyfriend soon after Prince was found
dead April 21. When she heard about it, I just started wailing. Like, fetal position, in my bed.
As for the boyfriend, she said he didnt get it, in the raw
moment or in the weeks that followed.
He could not understand. He couldnt understand the
pain, Newport said of the guy she had been seeing for
about a year and thought she would marry. He would say,
This is the dumbest thing ever. Like, youve never met this
man.
Ron Worthy, who lives in Brooklyn, runs a music-focused
website, Soulhead.com, and recalls his first encounter with
Princes music, listening to the naughty Soft and Wet on
the radio when he was a tender 7 years old. He knew it was
about stuff grown folks do, but that and Princes numerous
other sex songs basically gave you instructions on some
level on how to be vulnerable with women, how to be a
competent and giving and unselfish lover.
He said of the death, I just walked around in a daze for
weeks. I still cry when I hear certain songs like
Breakdown and Adore.
Jazz buff Cheryl Emerson, at 66, doesnt fit the traditional Prince demographic but she, too, is still profoundly saddened by the loss. She wouldnt let her Prince fan of a
daughter, Rana Emerson, see the Oscar-winning Purple
Rain at age 13 in San Antonio, Texas, shipping her off
with her little brother to their grandparents house so she
and her husband could go alone opening weekend.
Emerson redeemed herself years later, when Rana now
45 was in her 20s. The two went to see Prince together
twice, and Rana three more times on her own.

Theres no pep.
Missing are Guest regulars like

Even Guest himself, who makes an

In previous films, Guests actors
somehow stammered their way into

heavy with bodily functions vomiting, yeast infections, even toilet
waste. The filmmaker at one point
stoops low to get a laugh at the
expense of blind kids, and a potential
comedy goldmine by having the mascots mix with Furries is abandoned.
There are some bright spots,
notably the excellent Irish actor
ODowd as the brutish mascot The Fist

almost as if she was in another movie.
Lynch, as a brittle judge, is perfect, as

their college prospects.

Getting good grades seems to be the
main priority students have in high
school because having good grades
means a better chance at getting into
a better college, and going to a better
college means getting a higher-paying job, which then leads to a better
life. Therefore, the grades students get
in high school determine the course
of their life.
The pattern I just described seems
eerily close to the idea that perpetuates anxiety. The immediate jump
from getting good grades to determining the course of ones life is too
close to the idea that creates the constant feeling of impending doom. It
feeds the idea that everything is a fac-

tor that could ruin the perfect course

of life.
Stress, in some cases, is healthy
and can even motivate students.
Anxiety hinders students from being
able to perform and lead a normal life
inside and outside the classroom.
Obviously, people dont treat a broken arm the same as a sprained finger
because a broken arm is much more
severe. It should be just as obvious as
to not treat anxiety the same as stress
for the same reason.

binding immunity agreement.

Cosby has pleaded not guilty to the
charges and remains free on $1 million
bail. He has appeared relaxed so far at
the pretrial hearings, as he is led into
court by a team of lawyers and handlers.
In his deposition, the long-married
Cosby acknowledged a string of
affairs, rendezvous and one-night
stands with young women over the
years, but insisted they were all consensual. He said he gave many of the
women drinks beforehand, and a few
drugs or pills, although he remained
sober.

the course of his lifetime, in a pattern

Attorney Kevin Steele wrote in asking

ONeill to allow prior bad act evidence.
Constand, and the 13 women who
may testify, told authorities they were
too impaired to give consent. Cosby
settled Constands lawsuit for an
unknown sum after his deposition.
Constand had sued Cosby for sexual
battery and defamation after the prosecutor at the time declined to press criminal charges.
Prosecutors reopened the criminal
case last year after a federal judge
unsealed portions of the deposition
and dozens of other accusers stepped
forward. They filed charges Dec. 30,
weeks before the 12-year statute of
limitations expired.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Russia: Syria meeting aims

to isolate Nusra extremists
By Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Iraqi counterterrorism forces gather on the outskirt of Mosul during preparations to attack Mosul.

Presence of Turkish troops in

northern Iraq angers Baghdad
By Susannah George
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZELKAN CAMP, Iraq Tucked

behind Bashiqa Mountain in northern
Iraq, some 500 Turkish troops stationed alongside a local militia say
they are training and arming Iraqi
fighters to help defeat the Islamic
State group. But their presence has
strained relations between Iraq and
Turkey and further complicated plans
to retake the militant-held city of
Mosul.
Turkish heavy artillery sits along
the bases outer perimeter. Past rows of
blast-walls and barbed wire, dozens of
trailers house some 1,000 men armed
with assault rifles and outfitted with
new body armor and boots.
Everything you see here is thanks
to Turkey, we didnt receive any single
thing from the central government,
said Iraqi Maj. Gen. Saadi Obeidi, the
bases commander, sitting beside a
Turkish captain to brief visiting jour-

nalists. Obeidi and the captain outlined the groups military achievements and boasted of occasionally
receiving U.S.-led coalition air support.
On a scale diorama dotted with toy
soldiers, the men traced the front line
with IS just 5 kilometers (3 miles) to
the south. Obeidi, who is no longer in
Iraqs conventional military, but
served as an officer in former Iraqi
leader Saddam Husseins army, blamed
sectarianism for the Shiite-dominated
governments refusal to arm his mostly Sunni fighters.
The controversy over the Turkish
forces began late last year when a few
hundred Turkish troops, tanks and
heavy artillery moved into Iraqs
north, sparking repeated calls from
Baghdad to withdraw. Ankara has
insisted that they entered Iraq with permission from Baghdad to help train
anti-IS forces, citing comments from
Iraqs prime minister in 2014 thanking Turkey for their support against IS
as proof. Iraqs central government

denies those claims.

Initially, the central government
invited us here, said the Turkish captain at Zelkan Camp, who spoke on
condition of anonymity as he was not
authorized to talk to the media. Some
things have changed since then, but
we are already here, so we wont leave
until Ankara tells us to.
Now, as Iraqi forces gear up for the
long-awaited Mosul operation, Turkey
says the troops, initially described as
trainers, cannot be barred from having
a role in retaking the city.
This week, the rhetoric between
Baghdad and Ankara escalated into a
personal war of words between the two
countries leaders.
Turkeys army hasnt lost enough
of its quality to take orders from you,
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said Tuesday in a speech that
directly insulted Iraqi Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi.
You are not at my level, you are not
my equivalent, you are not of the same
quality as me, he added.

UNITED NATIONS A key aim of this weekends highlevel meeting on Syria is to get countries that support moderate opposition groups to use their influence to work for a
new cease-fire, Russias U.N. ambassador said Friday.
Vitaly Churkin said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will be
joined in Lausanne, Switzerland on Saturday by ministers
from a small group of countries that have a lot of influence
with opposition fighters.
He named Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Reports from the
region said Iran and Qatar would attend. And Russian deputy
foreign minister Mikhail Bogdanov, told RIA Novosti news
agency that Moscow wants Iraq and Egypt to participate.
Lavrov has said a major reason the Sept. 9 cease-fire
agreement that he reached with Kerry failed was the inability of the U.S. and other countries trying to oust Syrian
President Bashar Assad to separate the moderate opposition
groups they support from the former al-Qaida affiliate once
known as the Nusra Front.
Following last months collapse of the cease-fire, the
Obama administration cut off diplomatic talks and
Washington-Moscow ties deteriorated sharply. The
Lausanne meeting, initiated by Kerry, is the first attempt to
try to find a new viable strategy to stem the violence which
continues to mount in Aleppo and elsewhere.
I dont have any particular expectations, Lavrov said
Friday in Moscow, putting a damper on prospects for a positive outcome. So far, we havent seen our partners to make
any steps to get closer to fulfilling the agreements that we
have.

Around the world

Russian city inaugurates
statue to bloody Ivan the Terrible
OREL, Russia Despite protests and court battles, the
Russian city of Orel has unveiled the countrys first monument to Ivan the Terrible, the bloody 16th-century czar who
massacred his subjects by the thousands and even reportedly killed his own son.
At a ceremony Friday, officials inaugurated the statue of
Ivan on horseback, wielding both a sword and a cross, in
the city 350 kilometers (225 miles) south of Moscow. The
regions governor likened the brutal czar favorably to
current Russian President Vladimir Putin.
We have a great, powerful president who has forced the
whole world to respect and defer to Russia just like Ivan
the Terrible did in his time, Vadim Potomsky said at the
ceremony.
Ivan, who reigned from 1547 to 1584, was responsible
for violence including the Novgorod Massacre, which
killed thousands.
But he is also respected as both key to Russias establishing itself as an empire and as a patron of the arts,
including commissioning the landmark St. Basils
Cathedral, which dominates Red Square in Moscow.
