Rough road for bike safety fixes

Riders claim more protections would increase ridership, but roadblocks still exist
By Austin Walsh

If you build it, they will come.
That is the call for safety improve-
ments from bicyclists who claim
additional protections would encour-
age commuters to trade four wheels
for two as their primary mode of
transportation.
More safety improvements for

Adina Levin, identifying her recom-
mendations for improving bike
access throughout San Mateo
County. If we had better infrastruc-
ture, that would enable many more
people to bike as part of their com-
mute and other daily trips.
But while transportation officials
acknowledge the opportunity to
clear traffic congestion by getting
commuters out of their cars, they
claim the path to successfully imple-
menting some of the suggested bik-
ing measures is no smooth ride.
Managing competing interests for
limited space on heavily-trafficked
roads, coordinating collaboration
between oversight agencies and
financing the improvements are
among the roadblocks identified by
officials.

Extra duties, late pay strain new union contract

In an effort to call attention to what they say is delayed

pay for work beyond a full-time teaching load, faculty mem-
bers at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont have
filed 15 unpaid wage claims with the state Labor
Commissioners Office.
The complaints were filed Friday after the recently-union-
ized group of faculty failed to receive pay for work they had
done outside of their regular teaching load this semester,
said union negotiator Nato Green.
The universitys alleged failure to include overload pay,

attempted murder after allegedly stabbing two
women who worked as caregivers at a San
Mateo senior living facility.
Police were called to the 1700 block of
Cottage Grove Avenue around 5 p.m. Oct. 14 on
a report of a stabbing and were given a descrip-

officers located Julio Omar Escamilla nearby,
according to police.
Escamilla reportedly lived at the home on
Cottage Grove Avenue where his girlfriend ran a
senior assistance business that involved care-
givers living and working out of the residence,
according to police.
Apparently unprovoked, Escamilla allegedly
stabbed the two women multiple times, accord-
ing to police. The 56-year-old and 64-year-old
victims were transported to the hospital with
injuries later determined to be not life threaten-
ing, according to police.
When apprehended, Escamilla was found in
possession of multiple knives, including one
believed to have been used in the alleged crime,
according to police.

Jury selection continues
in Steinle murder case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A key phase of jury selection began
Monday in the trial of a Mexican national accused of killing
a woman on a busy San Francisco pier in a case that set off a
fierce national debate on immigration.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who had been deported five times,
has acknowledged shooting 32-year-old Kate Steinle while
she walked with her father on the pier crowded with tourists.
Garcia Zarate has said the shooting was accidental and has
pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
Earlier this month, lawyers summoned hundreds of poten-
tial jurors to court to fill out questionnaires. Among other
things, they were asked if they could sit through a lengthy
trial or had moral qualms about the case.
Superior Court spokeswoman Megan Filly said 160 jury
candidates reported Monday for further questioning.
Media was not granted access to the courtroom due to lim-
ited space, Filly said. Court officials say media will be
allowed to rotate into the courtroom at an unspecified date.
Before the shooting, Garcia Zarate, 54, had been released
from the San Francisco Jail after the district attorney
dropped a minor marijuana charge. Zarate was freed despite a
request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to
detain him for further deportation proceedings.
The San Francisco sheriff, citing the citys policy of lim-
ited cooperation with federal immigration officials, ignored
the ICE request.
President Donald Trump referred to Steinles death while
campaigning as a reason to toughen immigration policies
in the country.

Bergdahl pleads Trump, McConnell

guilty to desertion downplay any rift
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT BRAGG, N.C. Army
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was cap-
tured and held by the Taliban for
five years after walking away from
his post in Afghanistan, pleaded
guilty Monday to desertion and
endangering his comrades
charges that
could put him
behind bars for
the rest of his
life.
I understand
that leaving was
against the
law, said
Bergdahl, who
Bowe Bergdahl admitted guilt
without strik-
ing a deal with prosecutors, mean-
ing his punishment will be up to a
military judge when he is sentenced
later this month.
The guilty plea brings the highly
politicized saga closer to an end
eight years after Bergdahl van-
ished.
President Barack Obama brought
him home in 2014 in a swap for
five Taliban prisoners at
Guantanamo Bay, saying the U.S.
does not leave its service members
on the battlefield. Republicans
roundly criticized Obama, and
Donald Trump went further while
campaigning for president, repeat-
edly calling Bergdahl a dirty, rot-
ten traitor who deserved to be exe-
cuted by firing squad or thrown out
of a plane without a parachute.
Bergdahl, 31, has said he walked
away from his remote post in 2009
with the intention of reaching
other commanders and drawing
attention to what he saw as prob-
lems with his unit.
He told the judge, Col. Jeffrey R.
Nance, that he now understands that
his actions prompted an intensive
search during which some of his
comrades were seriously wounded.
At the time, I had no intention
of causing search-and-recovery
operations, he said in court. I
believed they would notice me
missing, but I didnt believe they
would have reason to search for one
private.
Bergdahl, who received a promo-
tion due all missing-in-action sol-
diers while he was in captivity,
pleaded guilty to desertion and mis-
behavior before the enemy, a rela-
tively rare charge brought against
him for endangering comrades sent
to find him.
The misbehavior charge carries a
maximum penalty of life in prison,
the desertion charge up to five
years.
Bergdahls answers to the judges
questions represented some of his
most extensive public comments
yet.
He told the judge he tried to
escape from his captors 12 to 15
times with varying degrees of suc-
cess. Once, he was on his own for
about a week hoping U.S. drones
would spot him before he was
recaptured. He said he also tried to
escape on his first day in captivity.

White House: $4,000 more for
families with business tax cuts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON By slashing corporate tax rates, the
Trump administration said Monday, the average U.S. house-
hold will get an estimated $4,000 more a year.
This stunning 5 percent increase is likely to be met with
skepticism from tax experts and Democratic lawmakers.
Spread across every U.S. household, the White House analy-
sis claims it would generate conservatively an income jump
totaling $504 billion, or about $200 billion more than the
revenues currently generated by the corporate income tax.
With this new report, the White House is making a populist
argument for its proposal to cut the 35 percent corporate tax
rate to 20 percent. Trump has pitched his tax plan as support-
ing the middle class even though the details point to major
companies and the wealthy as the biggest winners. Polls sug-
gest that voters generally frown upon the idea of cutting taxes
for businesses essentially rewarding these firms for avoid-
ing taxes by exploiting loopholes and keeping profits over-
seas.
The analysis by Kevin Hassett, chairman of the White
House Council of Economic Advisers, said that the consider-
ably lower rate would spur more investment by companies,
which would then boost hiring and worker productivity. The
average income gains from the reduced rate would range from
$4,000 to as high as $9,000, the administration said.
LOCAL/NATION
FIRES
Continued from page 1
The improving weather and tightening containment of the
flames were tempered by the first death from the firefighting
effort a driver who was killed when his truck overturned on a
winding mountain road.
After days of wind gusts that constantly fanned the fires,
lighter wind offered a chance for crews to make greater gains, and
thousands more people were allowed to go home more than a
week after the blazes that have killed more than 40 people began.
Many of those who returned knew in advance whether their
homes were standing or reduced to ash. Satellite images, aerial
photos and news reports with detailed maps of entire neighbor-
hoods had given homeowners in populated areas a pretty clear
idea of the fires path. Some had seen the flames coming as they
fled. Some families in rural areas had to wait until they laid eyes
on their property.
The return home was emotional even for those whose proper-
ties were spared.
When we came up to check on it, we were amazed it was here,
said Tom Beckman, who credited his neighbors two sheep with
chomping vegetation surrounding his home and keeping the
fires at bay.
All the trivial things we have to work on cleaning up,
replacing the stuff in the fridge and freezer thats nothing com-
pared to my friends who lost their homes, Beckman said.

quality ratings deemed to be unhealthy, very unhealthy and
even hazardous in some areas, especially those in the North
Bay where the fires continue to burn.
Though he said Bay Area residents can expect to see
patchy smoke and continued advisories as long as the fires
are burning, Flannigan said a new weather system, com-
bined with a slight chance of rain later this week, could fur-
ther improve the regions air quality.
We have some improvement to look forward to
Wednesday to Thursday as a weather system moves into the
area, he said. Thats going to help improve air quality as
it brings pollution higher up in the atmosphere.
Flannigan described the air quality ratings in the past
week as unprecedented, spurring his agency to issue Spare
the Air alerts, which forecast unhealthy air quality and ask
residents not to contribute to pollution levels, for eight
days in a row. According to Flannigan, the fact that the high
level of particulates in the air from the wildfires and not
high pollution levels resulted in a series of the Spare
the Air alerts from the agency was highly unusual, as was
its simultaneous issuance of a health advisory related to the
smoke.
This has been a week solid of poor air quality, he said.
This kind of exposure is something Bay Area residents
arent familiar with, and their respiratory systems arent
familiar with it, either.

The smell of smoke remained thick in the air and spread to the
San Francisco area, but skies were clearer in some places.
The truck driver, who had been delivering water to the fire
lines, crashed before dawn Monday in Napa County on a roadway
that climbs from vineyards into the mountains. No other details
were available about the accident, which was under investiga-
tion, said Mike Wilson, a fire spokesman.
In the historic main square of the wine and tourist town of
Sonoma, a statue of the communitys 19th century founder was
draped with signs thanking firefighters who have saved the town
from disaster.
The love in the air is thicker than the smoke, read a sign on
the bench that displays the statue of Gen. Mariano Vallejo, which
was wearing a face mask.
Although the weather was still hot and dry, the calmer winds
and the possibility of rain later in the week should help crews
tamp down the deadliest, most destructive cluster of blazes in
California history.
Any sort of moisture is welcome at this point, said Scott
Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. In
terms of fire, the weather outlook is looking to be improving.
A fraction of an inch is predicted to fall late Thursday in
Sonoma and Napa counties, though fire officials noted that if
showers bring more wind than moisture, it could spell trouble for
firefighters.
Crews continued to battle flames that have crossed a mountain
from Sonoma County to Napa County. Three helicopters repeat-
edly dipped water buckets into a reservoir and made drops to stop
flames from crawling downhill toward historic wineries in the
Napa Valley.
Though the agency is calling off its Spare the Air advi-
sory for Tuesday, Flannigan said its smoke advisory is still
in effect, with officials continuing to monitor the regions
air quality hourly. Conditional on the changing patterns of
the wind and amount of smoke in the air, the air quality has
varied dramatically depending on where one is in the Bay
Area, according to Flannigan.
As long as these fires are burning and theyre still with-
in the Bay Area, we will run the chance of having periods of
poor air quality in different parts of the Bay Area, he said.
He said coastal communities have gotten some relief from
smoke when sea breezes pick up during the day, which has
at times exacerbated conditions in cities further inland,
such as Vacaville or Antioch, where the pollution is getting
pushed. He said smoke is expected to stay largely in the
North Bay in the coming days, with some exceptions, as
wind patterns shift.
Even though ratings are expected to improve, residents
are still advised to check air quality ratings in their area
hourly and reduce their exposure to air deemed to be
unhealthy, said Flannigan.
Youre really just going to have to check in on air quali-
ty hour by hour and check in with your own personal health
hour by hour, he said.

ity index for your location. Visit smchealth.org/post/be-
aware-smoke-air for more information on what you should

Bringing transparency to campaign ad funding
By Kevin Mullin
T
he recently completed legisla-
tive session in Sacramento
was one of the most produc-
tive and consequential in years. The
Legislature passed and Gov. Jerry
Brown signed bills that will provide
funding to pay for much needed trans-
portation infrastructure and road
repairs, protect our environment,
advance our states clean energy goals
and will begin to address our afford-
able housing crisis. In addition to co-
authoring these critical pieces of leg-
islation, I am also pleased that the
governor signed my Assembly Bill
249, the California DISCLOSE Act, a
first-of-its-kind law which will funda-
mentally improve how funding for
campaign advertisements are dis-
closed to the public.
It is no secret that since the 2010
Citizens United decision by the U.S.
Supreme Court, voters have struggled
to figure out the actual funders of the
wide range of television, radio and
social media ads for candidates and
ballot measures. It was all too easy
for the big-money interests to use and
hide behind misleading, vague names
like Californians for a Better
California. So-called dark money
was able to easily pour into cam-
paigns without voters being aware of
its true source.
In fact, campaign spending in
California increased exponentially in
recent years. More than $1 billion
was spent on ballot measures between
2012 and 2016. Prior to AB 249,
donors could hide behind layers of
misleading organization names and

This legislation was not new to
Sacramento. Variations of AB 249
have been run seven years in a row,
falling just short each time. This year
was different and bipartisan support
in both houses carried the day, as it
did on many other critical issues this
session.
Another key component to this leg-
islations success was the passionate
grassroots support of good govern-
ment groups like the California Clean

and testified at committee hearings
making sure their voices were heard
and their dedication to these reforms
were understood.
Election reform and strengthening

Congress should defend public trans-

current administrations proposal to

Public transportation isnt just for
city dwellers. Communities of all sizes
benefit from public transportation and
new innovations are helping suburban

Public transit is essential for people
who cannot drive. It is also beneficial
for people who choose not to drive or
want to be able to live without being
completely car dependent.
Congress has traditionally shown
strong bipartisan support for public
transportation. Lawmakers should
recommit to expanding and improving

should reject the Trump administra-

Beyond our control
I
previously wrote about the extreme turbulence I
experienced aboard my first flight on an airplane as a
child. My immediate reaction was to panic, tightly
clasping the armrests as we encountered several drops.
The fierce crashes of thunder repeatedly reminded me that
my fate lied in the hands of God and nature. In that
moment, it was deeply fearful and humbling to accept the
fact that I was not in control.
It is human nature to take pride in controlling our life
circumstances. History confirms that humans struggle
more than anything with idea that circumstances are
beyond our control. Most of us spend the vast majority of
our lives tirelessly making efforts to ensure that we have a
fair amount of control over our
future. Many of us work daily to
attain monetary wealth to sup-
port our loved ones as well as
ourselves. Thus, it is fair to say
it is a socially acceptable and
virtuous concept to ensure we
each have a fair amount of say
over our lives through our own
individual efforts.
However, history tells us that
human beings have created
unfathomable atrocities by the
means of an insatiable thirst
for control. Tyrants and dicta- Jonathan Madison
tors throughout history have waged wars that claimed
countless lives in the name of asserting their control.
Human beings have waged genocide on innocent lives in
the name of exerting dominance over a minority or sub-
group. Today, governments possess weaponry with the
means to fundamentally wipe out all human life on our
planet, in large part, to maintain control over the safety
of civilians.
Needless to say, it comes as no surprise that raising the
white flag of surrender is unbearably difficult and hum-
bling for many of us. The term surrender often carries with
it the stigma of a cowardly response, or an unquestionable
lack of courage. Resistance is often our second nature
response to circumstances that appear beyond our control.
This is why it is often deeply difficult to face life circum-
stances completely beyond our control, such as the loss
of a loved one, the loss of an employment profession,
financial shortfalls, physical ailments and many other
challenges. As many of us can attest, our resistance to
that which we cannot change results in inner suffering.
Fighting what cannot be changed is not only useless,
but can cause deep emotional pain and suffering through-
out our lives. We can then view surrender through a much
more useful lens when employed under the right circum-
stances. After all, if we were to resist everything beyond
our control, we would quickly lose to every challenge we
faced. As much as we enjoy taking pride in what we can
control, it is deeply humbling to reflect on the countless
circumstances we cannot.
Far too seldom do we reflect on the awe-inspiring work-
ings of the universe, of which we have no control. For
example, we often take for granted the power of the sun
a blazing cosmic fire without which we would quickly
cease to exist. Nor do we appreciate the gravitational pull
of the moon, the composition of the countless stars in our
galaxy. As we in California can attest, the rain comes by
chance and chance alone not by our control.
As if that is not humbling enough, we have no more
control over the life term of the universe than we do on
many aspects of our personal lives. While we can take
various measures to live healthy lifestyles, we cannot for-
ever guarantee the involuntary beat of our hearts. Many of
us struggle to let go of the past something we will
never be able to control. We are not in control of the
place, time or family into which we are born. Put simply,
we are not in control of our birth or death two
inevitable events that mark the beginning and end of our
life journey.
For this reason, I suggest that surrender can be a power-
ful means by which we can live with an inner peace.
Acceptance of that which we cannot change is often
viewed as cowardly, but in many respects, it takes more
courage than resistance. It is often the case that with sur-
render comes the only real control we have over our lives
an honest perspective on many of the challenges we
face in life.
I do not suggest that we should not fight for what we
believe in, nor do I suggest that we should stop working
to support our families as well as ourselves. I suggest
that in reality, we are in control of much less than we
think. We are only in full control of our capacity to cher-
ish every moment in life and loving one another to our
fullest extent. Acceptance of that reality comes with real
control.

U.S. stock indexes post slight gains

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. stocks posted modest gains
Monday, extending a record-set-
ting run into a sixth straight week.
Financial and technology com-
panies notched some of the biggest
gains. Energy stocks also rose as
crude oil prices closed higher.
Health care companies declined the
most. Bond prices fell.
The three major stock indexes
closed at new highs, despite a day
of mostly listless trading as
investors looked ahead to a slew of
company earnings reports over the
next few weeks.
Today is a sort of wait-and-see
market as investors are really look-
ing for the direction of earnings
and whether companies continue to
report strong results, said Kate
Warne, investment strategist at
Edward Jones. That will be a cata-
lyst for stocks to move higher.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
added 4.47 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 2,557.64. Last week marked the
indexs fifth-straight weekly gain.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age rose 85.24 points, or 0.4 per-
cent, to 22,956.96. The Nasdaq
composite gained 18.20 points, or
0.3 percent, to 6,624. The Russell
2000 index of smaller-company
stocks inched up 0.02 points to
1,502.68.
Trading was subdued for most of
the day Monday. Stocks edged up
early on and wavered somewhat by
afternoon but ultimately held on to
their slight gains as traders awaited
for more quarterly results from
companies to pour in.

Weinstein Co., mired in sex scandal, may be up for sale

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The Weinstein Co., mired in
a sex scandal, may be putting itself up for
sale.
The company said Monday that it will
receive an immediate cash infusion from
Colony Capital and is in negotiations for the
potential sale of all or a significant portion of
the company responsible for producing films
such as Django Unchained, The Hateful
Eight and Lion.
Co-founder Harvey Weinstein was fired by
the company last week following allegations
of sexual harassment and assault. The allega-
tions span decades.
The fallout has been swift after Weinstein
issued a lengthy and seemingly tone-deaf
apology. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences has revoked his membership as
has the British Academy of Film and
Television Arts.
Amazon Studios, the growing film arm of
Amazon, cut ties with the Weinstein com-
pany last week. Showtime has threatened
to pull out of an Oliver Stone drama in
development, Guantanamo, because
Weinstein Co. is a producer.
Law enforcement in the U.S. and Europe
are taking a new look at past allegations.
Word of a potential sale comes just three
days after Bob Weinstein, Harveys broth-
er, said that selling the company was not
an option.
We are pleased to invest in The Weinstein
Company and to help it move forward,
Colony said Monday. We will help return the
company to its rightful iconic position in the
independent film and television industry.
The list of women alleging harassment and
assault by Harvey Weinstein continues to
grow. More than 30 women, including
actresses Angelina Jolie, Ashley Judd and
Gwyneth Paltrow have spoken out.

Business in brief been paying off.

Netflix sinking deeper into

SAN FRANCISCO Netflix is sinking

Armstead to have surgery on broken hand
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Defensive line-

man Arik Armstead broke his hand
during the 49ers loss in
Washington and will need surgery,
coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday.
Armstead, a first-round pick in
2015, will miss significant time
for a second straight season after
having shoulder surgery that cost
him the final eight games of
2016. He may go on injured
reserve, where he would join fel-
low defensive ends Tank Carradine
(ankle) and Ronald Blair (wrist).
The injury is a significant hit to
San Franciscos depth along the
defensive line.
The more guys you lose, the less
you like that depth, Shanahan said.
Armstead is one of the teams
three consecutive first-round draft
choices along the defensive front.
The other two, DeForest Buckner
and Solomon Thomas, remain
available, and should see their
workloads increase with Armstead
on the shelf.

The 49ers (0-6) became the first
team in NFL history on Sunday to
lose five straight games by 3 points
or fewer. Theyll return home Sunday

host the Dallas Cowboys (2-3).

BOWMAN
Continued from page 11
He is joining a team that needs
some help after four straight loss-
es have turned the Raiders from a
potential Super Bowl contender
into a last-place team.
Bowman brings a veteran pres-
ence to Oaklands young linebacker
group that started rookie Marquel
Lee and second-year player Corey
James for most of the year.
Undrafted rookies Nicholas Morrow
and Xavier Woodson-Luster got
most of the snaps in Sundays 17-
16 loss to the Chargers with Lee out
with an ankle injury and James lim-
ited to seven snaps by a sore knee.
The decision on whether Bowman
plays this week will depend on how
quickly he learns the defense as well
as the health of the other linebackers.
Bowman was once one of the top
inside linebackers in the league,
earning first team All-Pro honors
four times, achieving it from 2011-
13 and then again in 2015 after
coming back from a devastating
knee injury. Bowman then tore his
Achilles tendon early last season
and missed most of the year before
coming back again this year.
While he lacks some of the
speed he had when he was younger,
Bowman still can help a team at
age 29 with his play on the field
and leadership skills.
Very impressive young man to
me, Del Rio said. Kind of a mans
man. Hes been a tough player, been
part of a really good defense for his
entire career. Had a chance to talk a
little bit today and talk about the
veteran leadership that would be
nice to have, so hes here.
Bowman started the first five
games of the season with the 49ers,
recording 38 tackles and one pass
defensed. He had been upset about
being taken out for stretches of
games after being an every-down
player most of his career.

Excel Sports Management, says
Woods received a good report from
doctors who performed fusion sur-
gery on his lower back in April.
On Sunday, Woods posted a video
in a red shirt, no less of him
hitting a driver. Making
progress, he tweeted.
Woods has not played since
withdrawing from the Dubai Desert
Classic on Feb. 3 because of back
spasms. He had his fourth back
surgery two months later.
Steinberg says even though
Woods has full clearance, he plans
to take it cautiously. He says they
have not even discussed playing
tournaments.

Yet Golden State still remembers
its flop on opening night a year
ago, following a loss in the 2016
Finals to Cleveland after its record-
setting 73-win regular season. The
Warriors lost at home to San
California; each had assistant
coaches arrested as part of the sting.
The list also includes Alabama,
where a review led to the resignation
of basketball administrator Kobie
Baker but unearthed no NCAA viola-
tions, according to school officials.
A representative from one school,
St. Johns, told AP the NCAA direct-
ed all Division I programs to exam-
ine their programs for potential
rules violations after the federal
complaints were filed. The NCAA
declined to comment when asked
about that specific directive.

How many? Maybe Ill be proven
wrong, but I cant believe theres
too much of that going out there.
Michigan, 35 other schools and
the Big East Conference said they
were not specifically responding to
the federal probe. But many of the
no responses came with the
caveat that the schools athletic
department is always reviewing its
compliance.
Four conferences and 20 schools
declined to respond to the APs sur-
vey, including one university that
declined to respond on the record but
acknowledged privately that it was
reviewing its program because of
the probe.
The vast majority of schools sur-
veyed have shoe deals with Nike,
Adidas or Under Armour. A top
Adidas marketing executive was
among the 10 people arrested, after
authorities spent two years untan-

with money from the apparel com-

accused of doing anything illegal,
but any recruits found taking any
improper benefits could lose eligi-

Questions and answers about Kaepernicks grievance
By Jimmy Golen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lets assume that Colin
Kaepernick is better than several
quarterbacks backups, and even
starters who have managed to
find jobs on NFL rosters this sea-
son.
(He is.)
And lets also say that teams
refused to sign Kaepernick not
because he isnt good enough, but
because he decided to kneel during
the national anthem to protest
racial injustice in America.
(That, too.)
It still isnt enough for the for-
mer San Francisco 49ers quarter-
back to win the grievance he filed
against the NFL on Sunday. To
prove collusion, Kaepernick will
need hard evidence that owners
worked together rather than
decided individually to keep
him out of the league.
We come to the distinction
between collusion and what each
individual team does as a matter of
its business interests, said Alfred
Yen, who teaches sports law at
Boston College Law School.
If it turns out that all (32) teams
have it in their business interest
to do the same thing, so be it, he
said. After all, all teams have it in
their interests not to employ me
as their starting quarterback. And
thats OK.

Raw sewage affecting waters in Puerto Rico

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAGUAS, Puerto Rico Raw sewage is
pouring into the rivers and reservoirs of Puerto
Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
People without running water bathe and wash
their clothes in contaminated streams, and
some islanders have been drinking water from
condemned wells.
Nearly a month after the hurricane made land-
fall, Puerto Rico is only beginning to come to
grips with a massive environmental emergency
that has no clear end in sight.
I think this will be the most challenging
environmental response after a hurricane that
our country has ever seen, said Judith Enck,
who served as administrator of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency region that
includes Puerto Rico under President Barack
Obama.
With hundreds of thousands of people still
without running water, and 20 of the islands 51
sewage treatment plants out of service, there are
growing concerns about contamination and dis-
ease.
People in the U.S. cant comprehend the
scale and scope of whats needed, said Drew
Koslow, an ecologist with the nonprofit Ridge
to Reefs who recently spent a week in Puerto
Rico working with a portable water purification
system.
EPA officials said that of last week they still
had not been unable to inspect five of the
islands 18 Superfund sites highly contami-
nated toxic sites targeted for cleanup because of
risks to human health and the environment
including the former U.S. Navy bombing range
on the island of Vieques.
I just wish we had more resources to deal with
it, said Catherine McCabe, the EPA deputy
regional administrator.
Puerto Rico has a long history of industrial
pollution, and environmental problems have
worsened due to neglect during a decade-long
economic crisis. A dozen over-packed landfills
remain open despite EPA orders to close them
because local governments say they dont have
the money.
With homes damaged or destroyed, power
lines obliterated and traffic chaotic, many of the
EPAs own island-based personnel were unable
to report for work immediately after the hurri-
cane tore across the island on Sept. 20.
Twelve days after Maria made landfall, the
EPA said it had 45 people in Puerto Rico. By
Hurricane Maria victims fill up water jugs from a mountain drain in Puerto Rico. Raw sewage
is contaminating streams and reservoirs throughout the island.
Sunday that number stood at 85 a force that
Enck said was still insufficient.
Less than 20 percent of the islands power
grid was back online, and while hundreds of
large generators have been brought in, the U.S.
territorys out-of-service sewage treatments
plants include several that sit upstream of drink-
ing water supplies.
One of Puerto Ricos biggest treatment plants
discharges into a river that feeds Lake Carraizo,
a reservoir that provides drinking water for half
of the metropolitan San Juan area. Several of
the plants pumping stations remain out of
service due to lack of diesel for generators, leav-
ing sewage running into the lake.
Were not going anywhere near it, resident
Edwin Felix, 46, said, nodding toward the
greenish brown river coursing past his hillside
home.
That puts an extra strain on the filtration
plants that give a final treatment to the water
reaching the capital.
Officials say running water has been restored
to 72 percent of the islands people. The water
authority says its safe to drink, though the
health department still recommends boiling or
REUTERS
disinfecting it.
In the town of Juncos on Thursday, EPA per-
sonnel warned people who were swimming in a
river by an overflowing manhole that it was
contaminated by sewage because a pumping
station had failed, said Jaime Geliga, chief of
the agencys local municipal water program
branch.
Thats the only water they get, he said.
Thats the difficult part.
Even the islands own water authority has dis-
tributed water from some wells at the Dorado
Superfund site, according to Gov. Ricardo
Rossello, who said that water has been tested
and complies with all federal health standards.
But the EPA said Sunday that some people
have ignored fences and warning signs and have
taken water for drinking from wells on other,
more dangerous parts of Dorado, which was
brought into the Superfund program due to dan-
gerous levels of industrial chemicals in ground-
water.
The agency put up new fences over the week-
end and said it had taken samples from those
wells, though the results of tests were not yet
available.
Islanders also have been urged to avoid drink-
ing or touching surface waters such as lakes or
rivers, particularly after a deadly outbreak of
suspected leptospirosis, a bacterial disease
spread by animals urine.
The EPA said it plans to dedicate more staff
this week to inspect the roughly 250 small
water utilities that serve remote, isolated com-
munities and are typically in poor repair.
Many Puerto Ricans fear other existing
threats could have grown worse.
In the southern coastal city of Guayama, resi-
dents long have protested the dumping of a sev-
eral-story-high mountain of coal ash on the
grounds of nearby power plant. The pile looks
intact after the hurricane, but many fear the
winds and flooding could have sent coal ash
laced with heavy metals into adjacent neighbor-
hoods.
Benjamin Planes Lugo, 70, lost the roof of
the house he built with savings from running a
gas station in New York, but he said hes more
concerned about the ash, which he already
blamed for his respiratory problems. The EPA
said Sunday that it had visited the site and was
awaiting test results.

Plague outbreak threatens Madagascars largest cities

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar As plague cases rose last

week in Madagascars capital, many city dwellers panicked. They
waited in long lines for antibiotics at pharmacies and reached
through bus windows to buy masks from street vendors. Schools
have been canceled, and public gatherings are banned.
The plague outbreak has killed 63 people in the Indian Ocean
island nation, Madagascars government says. For the first time,
the disease long seen in the countrys remote areas is largely con-
centrated in its two largest cities, Antananarivo and Toamasina.
Global health officials have responded quickly. The World
Health Organization, criticized for its slow response to the 2014
Ebola epidemic in West Africa, has released $1.5 million and sent
plague specialists and epidemiologists. The Red Cross is send-
ing its first-ever plague treatment center to Madagascar.
On Wednesday, Madagascars minister of public health rallied
doctors and paramedics in a packed auditorium at the countrys
main hospital, saying theyre not allowed to go on vacation.
Lets be strong, because its only us. Were at the front, like
the military, Mamy Lalatiana Andriamanarivo said. The out-
break could continue until the end of infection season in April,
experts warn.
Madagascar has about 400 plague cases per year, or more than
half of the worlds total, according to a 2016 World Health
Organization report. Usually, they are cases of bubonic plague in
the rural highlands. Bubonic plague is carried by rats and spread
to humans through flea bites. It is fatal about the half the time, if
untreated.
Most of the cases in the current outbreak are pneumonic
plague, a more virulent form that spreads through coughing,
sneezing or spitting and is almost always fatal if untreated. In
some cases, it can kill within 24 hours. Like the bubonic form, it
can be treated with common antibiotics if caught in time.

Continued from page 1
By teaching four classes this fall, one more than she nor-
mally teaches in a given semester, and taking on program
director responsibilities for the universitys Department of
Psychology and Sociology in addition to advising some 30
students, Nyland said the terms of the contract she agreed for
this academic year already didnt reflect the time she was
spending on her teaching duties.
But she said the paychecks she did receive from the univer-
sity this fall only compensated her for 12 units, what she said
is considered normal for full-time faculty members, and did
not include the two additional overload units meant to repre-
sent her additional duties. When Nyland took the issue up
with university administration, she was told she would
receive the overload pay after she had completed her contract
instead of while she was completing the work.
Nyland said several of the other faculty members shes spo-
ken with about their paychecks have been dissatisfied with
their fall paychecks as well. The alleged discrepancy comes
just months after the union representing full-time, part-time
and adjunct faculty members ratified a contract with universi-
ty officials for the first time in June, said Green.
Interim Provost John Lemmon said in an email the univer-
sity and the union are working hard at a new collective bar-
gaining relationship and that administrators are focused on
communicating directly with union counterparts and faculty
colleagues.
One small but important item in our work together is the
area of overload pay, he said. We have made constructive
compromise that I believe will lead to continued progress in
this new venture.
Though Green was encouraged by university administra-
tors pledge to work with faculty members and the union dur-
ing the negotiation process, he said their implementation of
the contract reached in June has called their intentions into
question. He expressed concerns the universitys actions are
a response to financial strain, which he said could be related
to decreased student enrollment in recent years, and unfairly
place the burden on faculty members, who he said became
unionized in 2016.

joked Louch, regarding the price tag for
some of the more significant projects such
as a grade separation at Woodside Road in

safer for bicyclists.
Current barriers
As it stands, most biking advocates agree
major thoroughfares connecting cars to
Highway 101 commonly stand as barriers
for those who may consider bicycles for
their commute, if not for safety reserva-
tions.
Because many avoid biking along similar
routes, Levin noted the path riders must take
is often more circuitous which can be anoth-
er deterrent for interested parties from aban-
doning their cars.
Considering the potential for increased
bike ridership to help clear worsening traf-
fic congestion, Levin questioned the logic
of the current philosophy guiding infra-
structure development.
Why make it more burdensome? asked
Levin, noting cars drivers enjoy more direct
routes despite being able to go faster, while
bicyclists who can contribute to solving
traffic and pollution issues often face longer
Levin also pushed back on Louchs con-
cerns regarding the need to track down such
sizable sums of money for improvements
and instead suggested a dogged commitment
to addressing the issue in smaller steps
could go far.
I think we are seeing gradual improve-
ments and I think with some good commu-
nication and leadership, we have the oppor-
tunity to step it up and have the level of
investment to match the places that are
being successful, she said.
Levin pointed to bike connectivity plans
in Mountain View which have been success-
ful in encouraging ridership as a model
which other local cities should aspire to
emulate.
To that end, Manzi identified a coalition
of officials from Menlo Park, Redwood City
and Palo Alto who are working with
Stanford University representatives to help
address access issues spanning north to
south along the countys border.
They are trying to make biking a more
viable choice for people, said Manzi.
Levin said though the health and social
benefits known to be associated with bicy-
cling already make it viable, and suggested
the challenge instead is offering an easy
enough ride for people to take advantage.
There are a lot of places that improve-
ment would make it possible for many more
people to bicycle, she said.

end, Holober suggested a tax measure
may be in order to close the financial
gap.
Nothing has been finalized yet, but
that is an avenue we are pursuing, said
Holober, in reference to a potential bond
measure. This is not something we
could afford to pay out of the general
fund. The costs are just too massive. Its
a big project and we have other big proj-
ects going on at the same time.
As officials examine the sizable proj-
ect cost, Holober said fees paid by
builders seeking to construct large devel-
opments near the citys train station
could help ultimately offset some of the
citys financial burden.
In the meantime, officials recently
approved a plan to establish a temporary
recreation center in a modular office
building in a parking lot near City Hall.
Of the $6 million in insurance money
already allocated, a majority will pay
toward construction costs. About
$778,000 will be reserved for assuring
building codes are met and nearly
$292,000 paid toward demolition and
cleanup of the former structure.
Holober said the general consensus in
survey feedback is the desire to rebuild
the new structure in a fashion similar to
the previous facility, emphasiz-
ing the buildings relationship

No clarity on Catalan Kurds withdraw; Iraqi forces move in
bid for independence
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARCELONA, Spain A Monday morning deadline came
and went without the president of the Catalonia region clari-
fying whether he had declared independence from Spain, and
the Spanish government says he now has until Thursday to
backtrack on any steps the region has taken toward secession.
Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and Spanish Prime
Minister Mariano Rajoy exchanged letters but made no head-
way in the conflict, one of the deepest political crises the
country has faced in the four decades since democracy was
restored.
Responding to a demand from Spains central government
to state explicitly whether he had declared independence,
Puigdemont instead sent a four-page letter seeking two
months of negotiations and mediation.
The priority of my government is to intensively seek a
path to dialogue, Puigdemont said in his letter. We want to
talk ... Our proposal for dialogue is sincere and honest.
Rajoys response came less than two hours later. The con-
servative prime minister lamented that Puigdemont had
declined to answer the question and said that he has until
Thursday morning to fall in line.
Otherwise, he faces the possibility of Spain activating
Article 155 of the Constitution, which would allow the central
government to rescind some of the powers that Catalonia has
to govern itself. The wealthy northeast region, which includes
Barcelona, is home to 7.5 million people and contributes a
fifth of Spains 1.1 trillion-euro ($1.3 trillion) economy.
Polls have shown about half of the people there dont want to
secede.
To extend this situation of uncertainty is only favoring
those who are trying to destroy civic concord and impose a
radical and impoverishing project in Catalonia, Rajoy wrote
in his letter.
It wasnt very difficult to say yes or no, Rajoys number 2,
deputy prime minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, told
reporters in Madrid. That was the question that was asked and
the response shouldnt be complicated.
Saenz de Santamaria said that Puigdemonts call for dialogue
is not credible and that Spains national parliament is the
place to talk.
Spain has repeatedly said that its not willing to sit down
with Puigdemont if calls for independence are on the table, or
to accept any international mediation at all.

KIRKUK, Iraq Two weeks after fighting together against
the Islamic State, Iraqi forces pushed their Kurdish allies out of
the disputed city of Kirkuk on Monday, seizing oil fields and
other facilities amid soaring tensions over last months
Kurdish vote for independence.
The move by the Iraqi military and its allied militias so soon
after neutralizing the Islamic State in northern Iraq hinted at a
country that could once again turn on itself after disposing of a
common enemy.
Civilians and federal troops pulled down Kurdish flags around
the city. Kurdish Gov. Najmaddin Karim, who had stayed at his
post despite being dismissed by Baghdad weeks ago, fled to
Irbil, the capital of Iraqs autonomous Kurdish zone.
Revelers waving Iraqs national flag and the flag of its
Turkmen minority flooded central Kirkuk in an evening cele-
bration. But it was the Shiite sectarian chants heard above the
din of the rally that underscored the coming political battles
between Iraq and its Kurdish region.
Iraqi forces were supported as they always are now in major
operations by the countrys Popular Mobilization Forces, a
predominantly Shiite militia coalition that the Kurds see as an
instrument of Iranian policy.
In their bid to keep Kirkuk and its oil-rich countryside,
Kurdish leaders whipped up fears that the central government in
Baghdad is dominated by Tehran and would oppress Kurds if
they recaptured the ethnically mixed city.
Their fears were further affirmed after Iran came out forcefully
against the Kurdish regions nonbinding referendum for inde-
pendence on Sept. 25 and then closed its official crossings to
the region on Sunday.
Iraqs Kurds, too, remember the brutal campaigns waged by
Saddam Hussein, himself an enemy of Tehran, against the
minority, including a poison gas attack on the town of Halabja
in 1988 that killed thousands.
Populism again casts shadow
over the eurozone economy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON For months, the outlook for the eurozone econo-
my has brightened thanks to a series of electoral defeats for polit-
ical parties that were critical of the euro currency. Now, votes in
Germany and Austria and uncertainty over the Spanish region of
Catalonia are reviving concerns about the unity of the bloc.
In Germany, the anti-immigration and anti-euro Alternative for
Germany received almost 13 percent of Septembers national
vote, putting it in parliament for the first time. Though the cen-
ter-right Christian Democrats came out on top, the authority of
Chancellor Angela Merkel was weakened by AfDs relative suc-
cess.
And in Sundays Austrian election, the right-wing Freedom
Party come second with around 27 percent of the vote enough
to possibly become part of a government.
Should the party, which has sought to downplay the countrys
Nazi past, become part of the government, it could hinder efforts
to further integrate the economies of the 19 countries that use the

Iraqi forces roll into Kirkuk as Kurds move out of the city.
As Arab and Turkmen revelers celebrated the change of power
in Kirkuk, thousands of Kurdish residents, fearful of federal and
militia rule, packed the roads north to Irbil.
But Baghdad was eyeing its Kurdish partners warily as well.
Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said he was reclaiming a city
that was never within the legal boundaries of the Kurdish
autonomous region.
When Iraqs armed forces crumbled in the face of an advance
by Islamic State group in 2014, Kurdish forces moved into
Kirkuk to secure the city and its surrounding oil wells. The city
is 32 kilometers (20 miles) outside the Kurds autonomous
region in northeast Iraq.
Baghdad insisted the city and its province be returned, but
matters came to a head when the Kurdish authorities expanded
their referendum to include Kirkuk. To the Iraqi central govern-
ment, that looked like a provocation that underscored what it
sees as unchecked Kurdish expansionism. The city of more than
1 million is home to a mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, as well
as Christians and Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
euro. Such measures, advocated for particularly by Frances new
president, Emmanuel Macron, are considered important to avoid
new financial crises, stabilize the banks and sustain growth.
Even though Austria is highly integrated and depends on the
eurozones structure and openness, a new Austrian government
will make the eurozones life harder, trying to push through self-
interests, ING economist Inga Fechner said.
The euro has edged lower in recent weeks as a result despite data
showing that the eurozone economy is enjoying one of its
strongest periods of growth since the global financial crisis
exploded a decade ago. On Monday, it was down 0.2 percent at
$1.1795, having been above $1.20 at the end of August for the
first time in two years.
Also of potential concern to the eurozone is the uncertainty
surrounding Catalonia following its disputed independence refer-
endum earlier this month. On Monday, there was still a lack of
clarity as to whether the regions leader, Carles Puigdemont, has
declared independence following the vote that Madrid has deemed
illegal.
