OBAMA GAINS GROUND IN DRIVE FOR CONGRESSIONAL BACKING

The private nonprofit agency
that stands up for cities when the
state raids their coffers has reached
a compromise with state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, on gut
and amend legislation he recent-
ly took up that would have limited
ballot advocacy
by local gov-
ernment organ-
izations.
The League of
C a l i f o r n i a
Cities pushed
for several
amendments to
Hills Senate
Bill 594 and were able get them
approved in an Assembly
Appropriations Committee Friday
before the long holiday weekend.
Hill claimed the league and other
nonprots have commingled pub-
lic and private funds for campaign
purposes through a loophole in
the law leading up to Fridays
vote.
Nonprots have nanced politi-
cal activities through anonymous
campaign accounts originally
sourced from public agencies,
Hills ofce contended.
The league, however, disagreed
and got the definition of public
funds narrowed and also was
able to remove schools from the
list of public agencies the legis-
lation would impact.
The amendments codied our
traditional practice, the leagues
Executive Director Chris
McKenzie told the Daily Journal
yesterday. The league had opposed
the bill but is expected to back it
this week when the Assembly

With the three-year anniversary
of the San Bruno re and explo-
sion on the horizon, the city held
a press conference yesterday to
update the public on rebuilding the
Crestmoor neighborhood.
So far, of the 38 homes
destroyed by the explosion, 16
have completed construction and
are occupied, according to the
city. Five homes are actively
under construction with active
building permits, while one home
is preparing plans for a building
permit submittal. Sixteen parcels
remain vacant.

A temporary restraining order
meant to return Advanced Placement
Test scores from the College Board
to Mills High School students was
denied last Friday.
Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, the
rm representing the San Mateo
Union High School District, led a
lawsuit against College Board and
Educational Testing Service, their
test security provider that adminis-
ters the AP Exams, on Aug. 5. The
suit, originally led in San Mateo
County Superior Court, stated there
is no evidence of misconduct by
the students and no evidence that
the testing irregularities materially
affected the test scores. The main
objective of the suit was to get the
641 scores returned to the students.
Still, the U.S. District Court con-
cluded Friday that the plaintiffs
failed to demonstrate a likelihood
of success on the merits or that
they would suffer irreparable harm
in the absence of the temporary
restraining order.
Defendants, and the College
Board especially, have a strong
interest in maintaining the validity
of the test scores that are reported,
wrote U.S. District Judge Saundra
Brown Armstrong. Forcing defen-
dants to validate AP exam scores
resulting from improperly adminis-
tered tests would place them in the
untenable position of having to act
contrary to their obligations in the
AP Bulletin, and also would result
in colleges and universities being
less likely to rely on the integrity
of such scores.
The ofcial statement from
Armstrong goes on to say the risk
that test scores were subject to

The San Mateo City Council
opted last night to stay in-house to
ll the interim city managers job
by giving it to Larry Patterson, the
citys public works director and 13-
year employee.
Patterson will take over the job
from Susan Loftus, who retires from
the city after
serving it for 25
years, the last

ager. Loftus
retires Nov. 1
and Patterson
will start his
new job Oct. 15.
Patterson will
work alongside
Loftus for two weeks to help facili-
tate a smooth transition as he pre-
pares for his new role.
Hes a dynamic leader and per-
sonable individual. He has a vision
on how to take the city through the
interim and maybe beyond. I can
think of no one better for the job,
said Mayor David Lim last night.
The council approved the
appointment on a 4-0 vote with
Councilman Brandt Grotte being
absent from last nights council
meeting.
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet
said she was pleased someone
internal would lead the city

Beverly Beasley Johnson, the countys
human services agency director the last
seven years, is stepping down at the end of
the year.
Johnson has been quietly alerting depart-
ment heads of her pending retirement but
has not yet made a formal public announce-
ment, said county spokesman Marshall
Wilson.
San Mateo County is currently recruiting
a replacement, according to a job bulletin
on its human resources website that also
notes final interviews will be in early
November.
The position is advertised to pay
$158,953.60 to $198,702.40 annually.
Johnson joined HSA in November 2006,
bringing with her 30 years of experience
including time in Kern County as its human
services director. In San Mateo County,
Johnson took over from interim director
Glenn Brooks who served about a year after
the retirement of the last permanent ofce
holder Maureen Boland.
Johnson earned a bach-
elors degree in psychol-
ogy from Michigans
Oakland University and a
law degree from
Michigan State
Universitys Detroit
College of Law. She
worked as a social worker
before managing adult
services and economic
self-sufficiency pro-
grams for the state of Michigan. She served
as chief deputy director of the Michigan
Department of Civil Rights from 1999 to
2002 before joining the Kern County
Department of Human Services.
HSAprovides much of the countys safety
net through programs including those that
help individuals and families with econom-
ic self-sufficiency, foster care and adop-
tions, nutrition and food stamps, career
training and housing.

Man jailed for sending child porn to dispatcher
A26-year-old Dublin man was sentenced to a year in jail
and sex offender treatment for sending pornographic images
of children to a Colma police dispatcher.
Jason Neil Judkins must surrender Nov.
2 to serve the year term followed by ve
years of supervised probation, a mini-
mum year-long sex offender management
treatment program and a prohibition on
associating with minors. He must also
register as a sex offender for life.
Judkins pleaded no contest in June to
two felony counts of possessing child
pornography which is half of the origi-
nal counts charged. The other two were dropped as part of
the negotiated settlement.
Prosecutors said Judkins had a sexual texting relationship
with the dispatcher and in September texted about his inter-
est in young girls. In September 2012, Judkins reportedly
sent the dispatcher four images leading her to notify her
supervisors and launch an investigation.
Judkins is free from custody on a $100,000 bail bond.
Three armed men rob pair in parked car
Two men in a parked car were robbed at gunpoint in South

No one was injured, and the suspects ed on foot.
The three suspects were described as Hispanic males and
each wore a black hoodie, a black ski mask and black pants,
according to police.
One suspect stood about 6 feet tall, had a thin build and
weighed about 180 pounds. The second was also around 6
feet tall, with a stocky build, and weighed around 250
pounds.
The third man was around 5 feet 10 inches tall with an
average build.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to
call South San Francisco police at 877-8900.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Faced with a list of projects and a
nite amount of resources, the San
Carlos City Council and members of its
Economic Development Advisory
Commission will put their heads
together today to update the citys eco-
nomic plan.
Since the state dissolved all redevel-
opment agencies, the citys economic
activities require general funds which
can drive up revenue for the city but also
leave projects pitted against each other
for nancial backing.
With that in mind, EDAC Chair
Cameron Johnson said it is crucial the
council, staff and other city ofcials are
aligned about core priorities. Since
2007, the city has had two formal eco-
nomic development plans listing long-
term commitments include a July 2012
reset of priorities in response to lim-
ited staff and money.
Weve had an economic plan for a
number of years and no shortage of good
ideas. We just havent had the resources
to fund them, Johnson said.
Even so, the city did hit some of its
long-term benchmarks including the
completion of an environmental impact
report for Wheeler Plaza, visits to ve
of the largest businesses in the city to
learn what employers want and adoption
of a strategic property acquisition
reserve policy.
Johnson hopes the joint study ses-
sion Wednesday night results in picking
the top handful of priorities to continue
such as Wheeler Plaza and business
attraction and retention.
While San Carlos has made economic
achievements, the city is still chal-
lenged by a lack of opportunity for new
development space in the built-out com-
munity, wrote Mark Sawicki, economic
development and housing manager, in a
report for the meeting. Sawicki and
Community Development Director Al
Savay also noted that San Carlos must
encourage properties to redevelop into
higher and better uses with bigger eco-
nomic returns.
The meetings with businesses,
according to Savay and Sawicki,
revealed employers have trouble attract-
ing and retaining skilled workers
because of a lack of affordable housing
and transit options and ooding issues
for many eastside businesses.
As part of its discussion tonight,
EDAC and councilmembers will look at
activities the city should continue to
pursue encouraging a hotel, transfer-
ring Wheeler Plaza, considering the
Transit Village proposal, creating a new
housing element and identifying busi-
ness opportunities. Members will also
be asked to brainstorm other ideas like a
public/private shuttle service, forma-
tion of a business improvement district
and incentives. The caveat for this cate-
gory is that staff resources might not
allow for looking at the initiatives,
according to the staff report.
The joint City Council/Economic
Development Advisory Commission
meeting is 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4 in
the San Carlos Library Conference
Room, Second Floor, 610 Elm St., San
Carlos.

Family Owned & Operated

MILLBRAE
Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

Motorists drive on the new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
By Sudhin Thanwala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO New bridge, same
trafc.
The gleaming white and newly built $6.4
billion eastern span of the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge handled its rst morn-
ing commute Tuesday with few problems
other than the trafc snarls that were com-
mon around the old span.
California Highway Patrol Officer Sam
Morgan said traffic heading into San
Francisco on the bridge around noon was a
little heavier than usual, possibly because
of excitement about the new bridge.
Some are making it a recreational
event, Morgan said.
Officers have not encountered any
instances of people pulling over on the
road to take pictures of the span, Morgan
said.
But Ofcer Daniel Hill told San Jose-
based KNTV-TV that some drivers were
warned or cited for taking photos and cell-
phone video while driving. He did not have
exact numbers.
One person also received a warning for
driving and taking pictures on the closed
section of the old bridge, Morgan said.
While everybody is excited about the
new bridge, please remember it is still a
roadway designed to get you from Point At o
Point B, Morgan warned.
Man who went missing at
Coyote Point dies after being found
An at-risk man who went missing from
the Coyote Point area of San Mateo on
Monday was found in South San Francisco
early Tuesday morning but died at a hospital
a short time later, police said.
Runfa Wang, 50, had last been seen in the
Coyote Point area early Monday morning.
Police said Wangs speech resembled that of
a small child, but that a medical condition
left him unlikely to speak at all, police said.
Wang was discovered in South San
Francisco shortly after midnight Tuesday
morning and was taken to a hospital because
of his medical condition, police said. He
died at a hospital shortly afterward. Police
said his death is not considered suspicious.
Federal court upholds
oyster farm closure
A federal appeals court on Tuesday
upheld a decision by former Interior
Secretary Ken Salazar not to renew the
lease of a popular oyster farm operating in
the Point Reyes National Seashore in
Northern California.
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of
the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
that Salazar had the authority to allow
Drakes Bay Oyster Co.s lease to expire.
While the farm was slated to close for
good in February, it continued operating
after the court issued a preliminary injunc-
tion while the case was pending.
New Bay Bridge handles first rush hour

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
AMoss Beach man who sawed at the neck
of his female roommate with a serrated knife
because she reported him for drunk driving
was immediately sentenced yesterday to 15
years in prison for attempted murder and
assault.
David Jon Vanalstine, 59, was to begin a
jury trial Tuesday morning but instead
changed his mind and pleaded no contest to
the two felonies. He was immediately sen-
tenced but also returns to court Oct. 16 for a
restitution hearing.
Sheriffs deputies arrested Vanalstine at
his Pillar Ridge Estates residence Dec. 2,
2010 after responding to a call by the then-
56-year-old victim. The woman and
Vanalstine had been romantically involved
in high school but were then living togeth-
er as roommates.
She told dispatchers she had been stabbed
by Vanalstine, who was still inside the
home, after returning home from work in
Montara. Vanalstine allegedly held the
woman down on the couch by her hair and
began sawing at her neck with a serrated
knife from her carotid
artery to her ear, accord-
ing to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
He allegedly only
stopped when the
womans friend arrived
and she was able to grab a
phone and run outside to
call 911. Vanalstines
blood alcohol level three
hours after the attack
tested .59 percent.
The attack came days after Vanalstine was
sentenced to 45 days in jail for an earlier
2010 misdemeanor drunk driving convic-
tion with priors. Police believe the victim
turned Vanalstine in on the charge. Ajudge
stayed the sentence until the end of January
2011, leaving Vanalstine free from custody
and still living with the victim.
In December 2012, Vanalstines attorney
questioned Vanalstines competency but a
judge ruled he was able to aid in his own
defense. Competency is a persons ability
to stand trial while sanity is the mental state
at the time of an alleged crime.

A Daly City woman accused of pepper-
spraying a grocery store employee who ques-
tioned her leaving with a cart of unpurchased
beer and liquor wants to withdraw her no con-
test plea to robbery.
Jessica Danielle Louise Jackson, 21, set-
tled the case in April in return for up to a year
in jail. She was due to be sentenced yesterday
but instead indicated a desire to withdraw her
plea, said Assistant District Attorney Al
Serrato.
The motion will be heard Oct. 4.
Jackson was arrested for the April 7, 2012
incident at Safeway inside Westlake Center
after police linked security camera footage
and her license plate to her
parents home where she
lives.
Prosecutors say that
afternoon Jackson loaded
up a basket with a 30-pack
of beer and several bottles
of hard alcohol that still
had the security caps
intact. As an employee
alerted by the presence of
the caps followed her out of the store and
asked for a receipt, Jackson allegedly pulled
out a canister of pepper spray and shot it at
the worker before eeing in a car.
Jackson is free from custody on $50,000
bail.

The owner of a San Bruno-based travel
company will pay more than $25,000 to set-
tle claims that despite having a Better
Business Bureau rating of F he misled
Internet customers by claiming to be in good
standing and failed to give consumers infor-
mation about cancellation and payment poli-
cies.
Andre Rusanoff, owner and chief execu-
tive officer of At Cost Flights Corp. which
does business as WayToFly.com, agreed to
settle the case without admitting wrongdo-
ing by paying $13,000 in civil penalties and
$12,412.16 in restitution for 15 specific cus-
tomers.
The stipulated judgment was signed last
week and filed Tuesday in San Mateo
County Superior Court.
Rusanoff was authorized as a travel busi-
ness but he and the people working for him
got kind of sloppy, said prosecutor Chuck
Finney of the District Attorneys Office
Consumer and Environmental Protection
Unit.
For instance, the site www.WayToFly.com
claims to be a licensed and BBB-accredited
travel agency but the business had not
belonged to the bureau since Aug. 12, 2011
and had an F rating.
Rusanoff claimed it was an oversight,
Finney said.
Of course, that doesnt help, he said.
The complaint also claimed Rusanoff and
the company made untrue or misleading
statements to travel customers and didnt
comply with all provisions of the California
Seller of Travel Law business code.
The company, according to the civil com-
plaint, failed to share information about the
total amount to be paid by the consumer
passenger, provide clear statements about
cancellation policies and disclosures about
the company having a trust account or bond.
By violating the travel laws, the company
engaged in unfair competition, the suit
claimed.
Rusanoff could not be reached for com-
ment.
WayToFly.com advertises itself as selling
deeply discounted business class fares
unavailable elsewhere. At Cost Flights Corp.
makes a similar claim about international
travel. According to a Better Business
Bureau alert, the company appears to no
longer be in business and has 37 complaints
on file including 14 about advertising and
17 about problems with its products and
service.

A Brisbane man charged with keeping a
large stash of dynamite in his home after offi-
cers responded to a domestic disturbance call
faces up to two years in prison after pleading
no contest to illegally possessing explosives,
marijuana for sale and an assault weapon.
William Myle Harrell, 47, took the deal on
the three counts rather than stand trial on sev-
eral more charges, including child endanger-
ment, stemming from the initial incident and
his alleged maintenance of a marijuana grow
house on the coast.
Harrell returns to court Sept. 25 for sen-
tencing.
Harrell was arrested Oct. 1, 2012 after
police went to his Cliff Swallow Court resi-
dence on reports of a domestic disturbance
with his live-in girlfriend. Authorities found
no cause to arrest Harrell for the disturbance
and he was set to leave in a taxi for his par-
ents Montara home until the girlfriend asked
officers to follow her back inside. She told
them Harrell kept a closet locked but she had
a key made and grew concerned for the safe-
ty of her children, ages 11 and 20, once she
discovered the contents.
Inside, police reported finding 145 pounds
of commercial-grade explosives in the form
of dynamite sticks, a gallon-size bag of mar-
ijuana and $37,000 in cash.
Experts estimated the explosives were
enough to destroy the neighborhood, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Office.
Authorities have not said why they think
Harrell had the stash but believe he has ties to
extremist groups.
Harrell is free on $500,000 bail.

LOS ANGELES California communities
are spending $428 million dollars a year to keep
plastic and other trash off the streets and keep it
from polluting waterways and beaches, an envi-
ronmental group said in a new report. For many,
soda bottles, food wrappers and cigarette butts
are just forgotten bits of muck that hit the street
and wash away, forgotten. That waste doesnt
just disappear though, and it is very expensive to
clean up, the Natural Resources Defense
Council said in an issue brief about the litter
problem.
The study, released on Aug. 28, was based on
information supplied by 95 communities around
the state on how much they spent on street
sweeping; litter pickup; waterway and beach
cleanup; storm drain cleaning and maintenance;
installation of devices to trap trash that ows
down storm drains with runoff, and public edu-
cation programs about litters impact on water-
ways.
The communities ranged in size from around
700 residents to nearly 4 million and at various
distances from rivers, streams, lakes and water-
ways. Together, they spent an estimated $428
million on litter management and debris reduc-
tion, or around $10.71 per resident, the study

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama gained ground Tuesday in his
drive for congressional backing of a
military strike against Syria, winning
critical support from House Speaker
John Boehner while key Senate
Democrats and Republicans agreed to
back a no-combat-troops-on-the-
ground action in retaliation for a chem-
ical weapons attack.
Ofcials said the emerging Senate
measure would receive a vote
Wednesday in the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. Approval is
likely.
Youre probably going to win
Congress backing, Sen. Rand Paul of
Kentucky, a conservative and likely
opponent of the measure, conceded in a
late-afternoon exchange with Secretary
of State John Kerry.
The leader of House Republicans,
Boehner emerged from a meeting at the
White House and said the United States
has enemies around the world that
need to understand that were not going
to tolerate this type of behavior. We
also have allies around the world and
allies in the region who also need to
know that America will be there and
stand up when its necessary.
Boehner spoke as lawmakers in both
parties called for changes to the presi-
dents requested legislation, insisting
it be rewritten to restrict the type and
duration of any military action.

BEIRUT As the Obama administration tries to prod
Congress into backing armed action against Syria, the
regime in Damascus is hiding military hardware and
shifting troops out of bases into civilian areas.
Politically, President Bashar Assad has gone on the
offensive, warning in a rare interview with Western
media that any military action against Syria could spark
a regional war.
If the U.S. undertakes missile strikes, Assads reac-
tion could have a major effect on the trajectory of
Syrias civil war. Neighboring countries could get
dragged into a wider conflict, or it could be back to busi-
ness as usual for a crisis that has claimed the lives of
more than 100,000 people over 2 1/2 years.
The main Western-backed opposition group says that
during the buildup last week to what seemed like an
imminent U.S. attack, the army moved troops as well as
rocket launchers, artillery and other heavy weapons
into residential neighborhoods in cities nationwide.
Three Damascus residents, speaking on condition of
anonymity for fear of reprisals, confirmed such move-
ments.
One man said two members of the elite Republican
Guards broke into an empty house he owns and showed
him an official document stating they were authorized to
do so because Syria is at war. Awoman in another area
said soldiers moved into a school next to her house.
A U.S. official confirmed there are indications that
the Syrian regime is taking steps to move some of its
military equipment and bolster protection for defense
facilities.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio correc-
tions ofcials say Ariel Castro who
held three women captive in his home
for nearly a decade has committed sui-
cide at a state prison facility.
Spokeswoman JoEllen Smith says
53-year-old Castro was found hanging
in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at
the Correctional
Reception Center in
Orient. Prison med-
ical staff performed
CPR before Castro
was transported to a
hospital, where he
was pronounced
dead.
The three women
disappeared separately between 2002
and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and
20 years old. They escaped May 6,
when one of the women broke part of a
door and yelled to neighbors for help.
Castro was arrested that evening.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life
in prison plus 1,000 years on his
guilty plea to 937 counts including
kidnapping and rape.

Increasing communication
while contending with changes to
the states funding formula and
new Common Core standards are
among the top issues for the seven
candidates for three open seats on
the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees.
With incumbents Brian
Matthews and Andy Stulbarg opt-
ing not to run for re-election, the
only incumbent in the race is
Charles Velschow, who was
appointed in 2011 to replace
Michael Parker. The other candi-
dates are Suvarna Bhopale,
Rakesh Hegde, Amy Koo, Herb
Neuman, Naomi Nishimoto and
Kelly Redmon.
An in-ofce forum was held to
help the Daily Journal determine
endorsements. To allow each can-
didate a forum to express their
opinions on the issues discussed,
candidates were given the same
questions and asked to answer each
in 50 words or less. Answers are
arranged alphabetically by the
candidates last name.
Do you support the exten-
si on of the di stri cts parc e l
taxes on the November bal-
l ot ?
Suvarna Bhopal e: Yes.
Renewal of existing parcels, with-
out raising taxes, will prevent cuts
in funding, lessen our dependence
on state aid and retain local con-
trol over budgetary decisions.
Defeating the measure now and
revisiting the issue later, as some
suggest, will result in funding
uncertainty at a time when we need
stability.
Rakesh Hegde: Absolutely. I
support Measure R renewal of the
funding for local schools without
increasing taxes. It is essential for
high-quality education and smaller
class sizes, that we do not lose
existing funding. Our school dis-
trict has seen enormous growth in
enrollments but our revenues have
been fairly at.
Amy Koo: Yes. It makes sense
to pass the parcel tax measure now
to create funding source stability,
since long-term budgets look out
three years. This funding stability
would enable change by allowing
the board to focus on issues like
creating capacity for increasing
enrollment and improving com-
munication with stakeholders.
Herb Neuman: I support fully
funding our public schools. The
district is seeing revenue increas-
es and measures G and U do not
expire until mid-2015 and 2016.
There will be new trustees this
year and prematurely extending
the parcel taxes now will impair
their ability to analyze and opti-
mize revenue sources.
Naomi Ni shi mot o: Wi t h
growing enrollment, the districts
passion for excellence and high
expectations from the community,
I support the extension of the par-
cel tax.
Kelly Redmon: Absolutely. I
think a secondary focus in this
campaign and election season will
be to also support and help pass
the parcel-tax extension. With a
growing district and schools
already at capacity, we need to
ensure we maintain a current
stream of guaranteed funding,
while looking for other ways to
bring in revenue.
Charl es Vel s chow:
Denitely, its $2 million annually
the district cannot afford to lose,
we are currently spending down
our reserves to maintain services
and by all accounts we run a very
lean operation with more than 85
percent of our budget allocated for
classroom instruction.
How do you feel the dis-
trict has balanced the needs
of bot h t he Bel mont and
Redwood Shores community?
Suvarna Bhopale: BRSSD is
best served with representation
from Belmont and Redwood
Shores on the board, though
trustees must make decisions with
the best interests of the whole dis-
trict in mind. An impartial, trans-
parent process with appropriate
community input will result in
balanced decisions and create

OPINION 9
Syrian chemical attack
Editor,
Who would Dr. King bomb?
Remember the refrain, Assad must
go? The Syrian conict had barely
started, yet Secretary Clinton and
President Obama repeated that state-
ment many times. Of course we would
like to see him go but replaced by
whom and what? Now, chemical
weapons appear to have been used.
Our track record as a nation through
many different administrations has
been anything but consistent.
Knowing what eas in store, we sup-
plied Saddam with the very chemicals
needed for his weapons program but
later called him a war criminal.
Saddam must go was the refrain a
few years later.
As horrible as the chemical attack
was, we must bare witness to realities
and not create more chaos by pretend-
ing to be the worlds disciplinarian.
We have backed some dictators with
arms and cash as well as excuses and
vetos in the United Nations yet
demanded that others must go. War
criminals must be held accountable,
but careful accounting is needed. The
best examples were the Nuremberg
proceedings after World War II. Oh,
and we need to hold to the very same
rules, by the way.

Letter to the editor
T
he Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District
has a unique feature in that it
serves students in one city, Belmont,
and a portion of another city,
Redwood Shores, which is part of
Redwood City. Separating the two
areas is Highway 101, and though
there are differences between the two
communities the school district is a
powerful common characteristic. In
years past, there has been a divide
between the two communities but
much has been done in recent years to
bridge that gap. Communication has
been lacking at times and all seven
candidates for three open seats on the
Board of Trustees point to the need for
improvement in that critical compo-
nent.
Each candidate brings an important
point of view and each would serve
the district well on the board.
However, the three who deserve your
vote are Rakesh Hegde, Amy Koo and
Charles Velschow.
Velschow was appointed in 2011 to
replace Michael Parker, when Parker
stepped down. At the time of his
appointment, his experience as an
educator was touted as bringing a
much-needed point of view to the
board. He has three children in the
district and was co-chair of a previous
parcel tax campaign. With two incum-
bents opting out of re-election,
retaining some amount of experience
on the board is important. Besides,
Velschow was on the board that named
a new superintendent, Michael
Milliken, who just started in July. It
is appropriate to allow Velschow to
work with the new district head he had
a hand in hiring. Velschow also pro-
vides an enthusiastic energy, com-
mon-sense know-how and unique per-
spective as both a teacher in another
district and a parent in the district.
Koo is best known for her advocacy
in trying to create a new language
immersion program within the dis-
trict. Though her effort ultimately fell
short, it is evidence of her willing-
ness to try new things and reect a
growing need in the district. She also
shows a rm grasp of the districts
nances, need for renewed communi-
cation channels, issues with capacity
and need to determine the best path
for new Common Core curriculum
readiness. We look forward to seeing
her work within the district to meet
its needs and identify future needs.
Hegde has been an involved parent
for a while through fundraising and
the parcel tax renewal campaign. He
brings a no-nonsense approach to
any discussion and focuses on the
need to provide the best educational
opportunities for all students. His
experience in the district provides a
certain amount of base knowledge
that can only serve all the schools
well. He also understands the chang-
ing nature of both school nance and
curriculum and will likely hit the
ground running while keeping a con-
stant ear on the community to ensure
that every board decision has every-
one in mind.
Voters in both Belmont and
Redwood Shore have other great can-
didates from which to choose, and we
hope the others continue to be
involved to ensure the district always
moves forward in the most responsive
and responsible way. But Hegde, Koo
and Velschow are the right choices for
the three vacant seats on the Board of
Trustees.

because I forget they are there or where I put them.
This time I found quite a few
most of them too good to
throw out so, adding some
that were scribbled in the mar-
gins or my notebooks and
tossing in some that Ive used
in columns way back in the
80s, I offer you this collec-
tion of thought provoking tid-
bits to stir up your imagina-
tion. Some of the authors are
listed, and with others, well,
the author will remain a mys-

old science to confront reality, so a country must keep chal-

renewal. Marilyn Ferguson.

proverb.
Those who arent looking for happiness are the most
likely to nd it, because those who are searching forget that
the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is igno-
rance. Socrates.
To keep your marriage brimming/ With love in the lov-
ing cup/ Whenever youre wrong, admit it/ Whenever youre
right, shut up. Ogden Nash.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of people
and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty; to leave the world a bit better whether by
a healthy child, a job well done or a redeemed social condi-
tion; to know even one life has breathed easier because you
lived: this is to have succeeded. Fosdick.

U-T San Diego
T
he Department of Veterans
Affairs deserves its rotten rep-
utation. For years, stories
have documented how it can take ago-
nizingly long for wounded veterans
returning to civilian life to have their
claims processed by the VA. Reviews
of nearly two-thirds of the current
pending 780,000 claims are at least
125 days behind.
But guess who thinks the VAi s
doing an amazing job? The people
running the department.
Anew report says that in 2011, VA
executives approved giving about 70
percent of claims processors $5.5
million in bonuses for their allegedly
excellent work for a year in
which the claims backlog soared 155
percent.
Incredibly, the bonuses were based
on job-performance standards that
encouraged processors to put aside
more difcult claims and focus on the
easiest ones. No wonder some claims
take years to process.
Unfortunately, theres still more
news on the anti-veterans front. The
American Legion and its 2.4 million
members are now being forced by the
Internal Revenue Service to comply
with onerous bureaucratic require-
ments for the rst time since the vet-
erans-support group was formed by a
1919 act of Congress. The IRS says
the Legion must maintain much more
comprehensive records on its mem-
bers military service.
Why? Is there any evidence the
Legion has abused its tax-exempt sta-
tus?
The IRS is mum. The White House
shouldnt be.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
rose modestly Tuesday as renewed wor-
ries about a U.S.-led attack on Syria
dampened an early rally.
Stocks surged in the opening min-
utes of trading as traders felt that a U.S.
attack on Syria wasnt imminent after
President Barack Obama announced
over the weekend that he would seek
congressional approval for a strike.
But the early rally faded after the top
Republican in Congress said he would
support President Obamas call for the
U.S. to take action. Speaking in the
late morning, House of
Representatives Speaker John
Boehner said the use of chemical
weapons must be responded to.
Key Republicans seem to agree
with Obama on Syria, said JJ
Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist
for TD Ameritrade. It puts us in a dif-
cult situation as to what might happen
from here.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up 23.65 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 14,833.96. The index had
climbed as much as 123 points in early
trading.
The Dow was also held back by
Microsoft and Verizon, which both
slumped after announcing deals.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 6.80 points, or 0.4 percent, to
1, 639. 77. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 22.74 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 3,612.
The stock market also got an early
boost from a report showing that U.S.
manufacturing expanded last month at
the fastest pace since June 2011. The
report was better than economist had
expected, according to estimates com-
piled by data provider FactSet.
In corporate news, CBS surged
$2.40, or 2.7 percent, to $53.50 after
the broadcaster and Time Warner Cable
reached an agreement that ended a
blackout of CBS and CBS-owned chan-
nels such as Showtime.
Other corporate news was disap-
pointing. Microsoft fell $1.52, or 4.6
percent, to $31.88 after the software
company said it would acquire Nokias
smartphone business and a portfolio
of patents and services. Microsoft is
trying to capture a slice of the lucrative
mobile computing market that is dom-
inated by Apple and Google, and
investors are concerned that Microsoft
wont succeed.
Verizon fell $1.37, or 2.9 percent, to
$46.01 after the company agreed to
pay $130 billion for Vodafones stake
in Verizon Wireless.
After a tough August, stocks may
struggle to rally in September because
of a string of events that could shake
investors, said Randy Frederick, man-
aging director of active trading and
derivatives at the Schwab Center for
Financial Research.
The S&P 500 logged its worst per-
formance since May 2012 last month
as investors fretted about when the
Federal Reserve will cut its economic
stimulus. The Feds next meeting,
which starts Sept. 17, is when many
on Wall Street think the central bank
will begin winding down its massive
bond-buying program.
Lawmakers in Washington may also
throw investors a curve ball.
To keep the government running,
Congress needs to pass a short-term
spending bill before the scal year
starts Oct. 1. Then theres the govern-
ments $16.7 trillion borrowing limit.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned
that, unless its raised soon, the gov-
ernment would lose the ability to pay
all of its bills by the middle of
October.
Political wrangling in Washington
shook financial markets in August
2011, when lawmakers fought over
raising the debt ceiling. That led the
rating agency Standard & Poors to
strip the U.S. of its triple-A credit rat-
ing.
All these catalysts out there ... are
still there, said Frederick. Theres
just not enough upside catalysts, and
theres plenty of downside catalysts.
Stocks end slightly higher after rally fades
By Michael Liedtke
and Matti Huuhtanen
SAN FRANCISCO Microsofts
acquisition of Nokias troubled smart-
phone business represents a daring
$7.2 billion attempt by the software
giant and a once-inuential cellphone
maker to catch up with the mobile
computing revolution that threatens
to leave them in the technological
dust.
The deal announced late Monday
offers both companies a chance to
make up for lost time with a strategy
to meld their software and hardware
into a cohesive package, like rival
Apple has done. But there are plenty
of reasons to question whether the
copycat approach will pay off.
Unlike Apple, Microsoft Corp.
makes most of its money from soft-
ware for personal computers a still-
protable franchise that has gradually
been crumbling as smartphones and
tablets supplant laptop and desktop
machines. By some estimates, more
than two-thirds of the computing
devices being sold now are either
smartphones or tablets, and there are
few signs that trend will change during
the next decade.
To complicate Microsofts transi-
tion, the Redmond, Wash., company
is being led by a lame duck. Microsoft
CEO Steve Ballmer, who negotiated
the Nokia deal, recently announced
plans to retire within the next year in
a tacit admission that the company
needs a different leader to blaze new
trails.
In Nokia acquisition, Microsoft tries to catch up
Gimme a break: New
Android system named KitKat
NEWYORK Gimme a break, Google. Break me off a
piece of that Kit Kat bar.
The tech giant, which is known for nick-naming its
Android mobile operating systems for smartphones and
tablets after desserts, has for the rst time chosen a brand-
name candy for its 4.4 version thats expected to launch this
fall: Kit Kat.
Thats right, the new version shares a name with the
chocolate candy bar with the well-known Gimme a Break
jingle. Kit Kat packaging will show Androids green robot
mascot breaking a Kit Kat bar.
Financial terms werent disclosed for the sweet deal
between Google and Hershey Co., which makes Kit Kat. But
the deal shows that naming a stadium or sponsoring a TV
show can be seen as old school. The latest marketing craze
may be to slap a brand name on a tech product.
Apple event invitation hints at new phone colors
NEWYORK Apple has sent a colorful invitation for an
event next week amid speculation that it may debut new col-
ors for the latest iPhone.
The invitation, emailed Tuesday, has a picture of the
Apple logo surrounded by multi-colored polka dots and the
sentence: This should brighten everyones day.
The iPhone 5, which went on sale in September of 2012,
comes only in black or white.

achieved one of the goals he had when he rst took over
the Cherokees program: to eld two, separate offensive
and defensive units comprised of one-way players.
Unlike a lot of teams that have many of their best

the depth and talent to keep a two-platoon system in
place.
Last year, we were a one-and-a-half platoon (team),

Penalties
for Oracle
are severe
By Bernie Wilson
SAN FRANCISCO Defending champi-
on Oracle Team USA has been docked two
points in the Americas Cup match against
Emirates Team Zealand and a key sailor was
expelled in the harshest penalties levied in
the 162-year history of sailings marquee
regatta.
The penalties were announced Tuesday by
an international jury that has spent four
weeks investigating illegal modications
of prototype boats used in warm-up regattas
last year and earlier this year.
Oracle Team USA, owned by software bil-
lionaire Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp.,
essentially starts the match at minus-2,
meaning it must win 11 races to retain the
oldest trophy in international sports. Team
New Zealand must still win nine races to
claim the silver trophy.
The match begins with two races Saturday
and two on Sunday on San Francisco Bay.
Dirk de Ridder, who trims the wing sail on
the high-performance, 72-foot catamaran,
is barred from sailing in the regatta, and two
shore crew members also have been
expelled. Grinder Matt Mitchell has been
barred from the first four races. Kyle
Langford, a wing trimmer on the B crew, was
given a warning, and another sailor, identi-
ed only as Sailor X, had his case dismissed.

Oaks get off
to rough start
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Mark Grieb era at Menlo College was-
nt necessarily expected to start in
grandiose fashion.
Heading into this rst game as the head
coach for the Oaks, the schedule gods hand-
ed the former Arena Football League super-
star a date with Washingtons Carroll
College, the No .12 team in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
And in return, the Saints handed Grieb and
the Oaks a 51-7 shelling.
Carroll found the end zone in four of its
seven rst-half drives (including three of its
rst four) to take a 28-0 lead into the half.
The scoring kept coming in the second half
with four more touchdowns and a botched
punt attempt that resulted in a safety.
On the ip side, Oaks struggled to produce
on the offensive side of the ball and tallied a
total of five three-and-outs and three
turnovers two interceptions and a lost
fumble.
The lone bright spot for the Oaks offense
came in the third quarter when sophomore
running back Brandon Bell last seasons
leading rusher found an opening and ran
up the sideline for a 67-yard touchdown.

schedule stacked with tough opponents

Menlo College opened its 2013 schedule
in disappointing fashion, dropping a 2-1
decision to Hope International University
in double overtime.
Hope Universitys Lizzy Rivas knocked
in a rebound off Oaks goalkeeper Whitney
Galindo with 30 seconds to play to clinch
the victory.
Menlo played well in the rst half, press-
ing the attack, but could not click in the
offensive third of the field. Danielle
McCarthy was taken down from behind in
the penalty box and Jocelyn Aguilar con-
verted the penalty kick for a 1-0 Menlo lead
in the second half, but Hope equalized in the
71st minute when Cindy Cisneros headed
home a cross from Brandi Neilan.
Menlo earned a trio of corner kicks in the
rst 10-minute overtime period, but could
not convert to extend the game into the sec-
ond overtime period.
Skyline College got a pair of goals from
Ileana Moncada as they played Shasta to a
2-2 draw last week.
Iris Clavel and Jennyfer Prudencio each
assisted on Moncadas goals, while goal-
tender Staci Garcia kept her team in the
game by making 10 saves.

Skyline traveled to the East Bay to begin

assist.
The Caada mens soccer team opened the
2013 season Saturday with a 1-1 tie with
Cosumnes River, before falling to local
power Foothill Tuesday.
Angel Mejia scored off a Mark Lopez
assist in the opener with Cosumnes River,
while goalkeeper Victor Meraz made ve
saves for the Colts.
Foothill, however, proved to be too much
in a 3-0 shutout.

Menlo College, the defending Cal Pac

The Lady Oaks opened with a hard-fought,

before falling to host Southern Oregon.
Menlo closed out the tournament with
another grueling win, this one a ve-set
victory over Lewis-Clark State College.
Menlos Courtney Calicdan, defending

25-13 victory over Northwest. Nicole Yap
chipped in with 11 kills and 18 digs, while
setter Haley Webb dished out 44 assists.
Menlo struggled in a 25-17, 25-14, 25-23
loss to national power Southern Oregon,
but rallied to beat Lewis-Clark. Menlo
dropped the rst two sets to LCSC, 26-24
and 25-18, but came back to win the nal

SANTACLARA As Kyle Williams suits
up for his rst game in more than nine
months, he will pull his No. 10 San
Francisco 49ers jersey over a new No. 81
tattoo on his inner left forearm honoring a
former teammate.
Williams added the fresh ink during the
offseason as a tribute to an Arizona State
teammate, Tyrice Thompson, who died Feb.
2 from injuries suffered when he was stabbed
Jan. 27 while working at a popular
Scottsdale, Ariz., nightclub. Williams will
play in Thompsons honor this year the
fourth-year pros return from a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee that
required surgery and ended his 2012 season
in late November.
He was family to everybody, Williams
said. Hes a guy I played with at ASU, and kind
of like a big brother to me. When he was here
(alive) he was always looking over me and
there for me, always sharing wisdom.
Now that he is healthy at last, the 25-year-
old Williams has a chance to be San Franciscos
No. 2 wide receiver opposite Anquan Boldin.
Williams also will handle some kick return
duties for the NFC champions.
Williams, Colin
Kaepernick and Co. open
the season Sunday at
home against Green Bay
in a rematch of the NFC
divisional playoffs last
January at Candlestick
Park won 45-31 by the
49ers.
Kyle Williams, we feel
like we know what Kyle
can do and weve been a little bit cautious
there, coach Jim Harbaugh said of pushing
him too hard early.
Hanging up in Williams locker is a regu-
lar reminder of his dear friend the program
from the late 27-year-olds service Tyrice
Allen Thompson. April 2, 1985, to Feb. 2,
2013.
The former tight end and wide receiver died
a day before Williams and the 49ers lost the
Super Bowl to Baltimore in New Orleans.
Thompson was stabbed ve times in the
back, hip and arm after an early morning
altercation at Martini Ranch near
Scottsdales hip Old Town neighborhood,
and only a few miles from Williams high
school.
Ian MacDonald of Tempe is accused in
Thompsons killing and faces a charge of
second-degree murder.
Williams last saw Thompson in the
Phoenix area during San Franciscos bye
week after the 49ers played at Arizona on
Oct. 29. The two played together for the Sun
Devils for two years.
When I saw him he kind of pulled me
aside and we talked for about 20 minutes,
Williams said. It was kind of crazy because
I told another one of my friends, those two
had always been like older brothers to me
and watched out for me, I told him, Its crazy
because whenever I talk to Tyrice he talks to
me like its the last time hes going to see
me. And then that happened. Ive always
looked at him as somebody whos looked
over me. Hes always trying to prepare me
and always trying to get me ready for whats
coming. So, I know hes still got me, hes
still looking over me.
For Williams, this season is one he has
been waiting months to begin. He had to sit
out the Super Bowl along with fellow injured
receiver Mario Manningham one of the
toughest moments in their careers despite
their immense pride in San Francisco being
back there for the rst time in 18 years.
Just when Williams was on a nice roll last
season, he got hurt in a Nov. 25 win at New
Orleans. A sixth-round draft pick in 2010,
Williams had 13 catches for 212 yards and a
touchdown in the rst 11 games of 2012.
Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg
Roman expect a big year from Williams,
who has shown signicant improvements in
the offense and with his strength after such a
serious injury.
Kyle is a dynamic player, Roman said.
Hes got great short area change of direc-
tion. I think he can work a defender to get
open and we can give him some different
options on routes. And Kyles going to be a
big part of what we do. Hes an ascending
football player, got a great attitude and hes
meant a lot to this team and will in the
future, more importantly.
Hes denitely playing stronger, and we
would expect it. I think his whole games
improved, his understanding of the game,
all the little nuances that go into the posi-
tion. And hes a competitive guy that I think
is coming into his own.
Thompson, Williams insists, will be with
him each moment the 49ers wideout spends
on the eld, for practice or game day. And
when he runs out of the tunnel on Sunday for
Week 1.
Absolutely, Williams said. Every time
you lose somebody, you want to honor them
in any way you can, especially him. I played
with him and he was our leader when I was
there.

other. We have very few kids who started on
both sides of the ball. Its hard with [our] no-
huddle system
Why the obsession with have fresh play-
ers? Given his teams up-tempo offense,
Poulos doesnt want his offensive players
burning their energy on defense unless
absolutely necessary. Poulos no-huddle sys-
tem puts the pressure on opposing defenses to
keep up with the Cherokees go-go style.
We can adjust on the y, Poulos said.
Were trying to nd ways to be faster and
keep the defense on their heels. You denitely
can see the kids who have been in the system,
who are moving faster and getting faster.
While a lot of spread offenses rely on the
pass, the Cherokees at their heart want
to run power football. They denitely have
the power with running back Matt Jenkins, an
ultra-rare four-year varsity player.
I think hes going to be a load at running
back, Poulos said. Teams are going to have
to have an answer for him. I think its going
to trigger a domino effect.
Jenkins is also one of a handful of players
Poulos has tabbed to play both ways this sea-
son.
Jenkins work will hopefully take the pres-
sure off the quarterback, who also serves as a
de facto halfback in the Cherokeessystem, in
addition to making the right reads in the pass-
ing game.
Poulos said there was still competition for
the starting spot between Cameron
Greenough and Saave Brown. Greenough, a
senior, appeared in eight games for the
Cherokees last season, accumulating 362
yards of total offense 173 yards passing,
189 yards rushing.
Cams been there before. He got some seri-
ous reps with varsity (last year), Poulos said.
Hes got a strong arm and he has an explo-
sive step this year didnt have last year.
Brown, a junior, guided the junior varsity
team to a 5-5 record. The only thing he lacks
is varsity experience.
[Brown] has size (6-1, 250 pounds) and he
throws a solid ball, Poulos said. He can run
our stuff.
Just by the nature of the offense, the
Cherokee receiving corps will get a lot of
looks and this year the task of catching pass-
es falls on a returning senior wideout Bobby
Sehl, who caught 20 passes for 231 yards last
season, and a couple of newcomers: senior
Liam Clifford and junior Brady Stubbleeld.
The offensive line is anchored by Ed Tatola.
Defensively, the Cherokees should be every
bit as fast and explosive as their offense. The
anchor to the unit is junior safety Tommy
Lopiparo, who was in on 57 tackles last sea-
son as a sophomore, with a sack, three inter-
ceptions and a fumble recovery.
I think hes going to dominate from his
position. Hes going to be able to react and
come downhill with a purpose, Poulos said.
Hes one of the guys who impressed us last
year.
Dylan Anderson is another key defender
returning at defensive back, giving the
Cherokees a potent 1-2 punch in the defensive
secondary. Eduardo Alvarado will hold down
the linebacking unit.
Defense comes along faster than the
offense. Offense is always a work in
progress, Poulos said. I like what Im see-
ing on the defensive side of the ball. Theyre
ying around. Theyre starting to get a feel for
their assignments.

Denoras hit lifts
Padres to 3-2 win over Giants
SAN DIEGO Chris Denora hit a go-
ahead RBI single in the seventh inning to
lift the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 victory
over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday
night.
Nick Hundley drew a leadoff walk in the
seventh from rookie reliever Jake Dunning,
who was called up earlier in the day from
Triple-A Fresno. Ronnie Cedeno followed
with a single to send Hundley to third and
bring on reliever Javier Lopez.
Denora lined a 1-2 pitch to left for the
single that broke a 2-all tie.
Dunning (0-2), who made his major
league debut in June, took the loss. Tim
Stauffer (3-1) got the win with 1 2-3 innings
of shutout ball.
Huston Street pitched the ninth for his
26th save in 27 chances.
Defending World Series champion San
Francisco (61-77) dropped into last place in
the NL West, one game behind San Diego.
San Francisco catcher Buster Posey was
pinch hit for in the seventh after he
appeared to hurt his right hand on a wild
pitch thrown by Madison Bumgarner in the
sixth inning.
Rangers beat As 5-1
for sole possession of 1st
OAKLAND Martin Perez allowed one
run in seven innings to win his sixth
straight start and Mitch Moreland homered
to move the Texas Rangers back into sole
possession of rst place in the ALWest with
a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on
Tuesday night.
After falling into a tie for rst with the As
when they lost the series opener, the
Rangers bounced back behind another
strong performance from Perez (9-3) and are
assured of leaving Oakland for the nal time
in the regular season with at least a share of
the division lead.
Bartolo Colon (14-6) allowed three
unearned runs in the fth inning following
his own error and missed an opportunity to
become rst pitcher to reach 20 career wins
against Texas. Colon is winless in ve
starts since July 26 with a DL stint in the
middle of that stretch.
The highlight of the game for Oakland
came in the sixth inning when third base-
man Josh Donaldson raced across the vast
foul territory at the Coliseum and leaped
over the tarp to make a backhand catch to
rob David Murphy.

I think of us as being competitive (this
year). I think we have a chance to win every
game, but I dont think were going to be
dominant, said SHP coach Pete Lavorato.
Defense, I think, will be a little behind
where we were last year. We lost a lot of sen-
iors. But I think our athleticism is just as
good. We might have a bit of a slow start
but, as the year goes on, hopefully we get
better and better.
One of the biggest positions the Gators
need to fill is at starting quarterback.
Lavorato said two players are vying for the
spot: junior Cole Marsh, last years backup,
and sophomore Mason Randle, who started
for the frosh-soph team in 2012.
Theyre pretty even. They can both get
the job done. Theyll both play, Lavorato
said. Mason is a sophomore, so that is the
only reservation, but he is a leader and a
very heady player. Theres something about
him. He can play.
Cole, hes at-out good.
The quarterback position in SHPs
offense, while critical, is not the focal
point of the Gators attack. That would fall
on the shoulders of the Gators running
game and they should be solid in the back-
eld this year with the return of Andrew
Segre and Chris Lee. Joining them will be
junior Grifn Kraemer.
Hes a dynamic yback, Lavorato said
of Kraemer. He could be a game changer for
us.
Leading the way up front is Patrick
Finnigan, rst-team, all-league selection
last year, along with Alex Castro.
The Gators may have lost a lot to gradua-
tion on the defensive side of the ball, but
have its anchor returning in defensive back
Noah Kawasaki, rst-team, all-league selec-
tion last season. Ben Burr-Kirven, who saw
plenty of time on the offensive side of the
ball last season, will be the leader of the
linebacking corps, while Paul Westcott will
lead the defensive line.
Lavorato said his biggest concern is
depth as the Gators roster is only about 30-
players deep. Buoying Lavorato, however,
is the fact he is condent in the ability of
nearly every one of those nearly three-
dozen players.
The area I have concern is our overall
depth. We just dont have a lot of players,
Lavorato said. But when you look at our
team, there isnt one kid who cant play.
Were fortunate that way. Our development
teams, we started a freshman team four years
ago, that really helped. We run the same
stuff on three teams (freshman, junior varsi-
ty and varsity). By the time they get to be
juniors, they know how to play.

Four ex-NFL players le
new suit on concussions
NEWORLEANS Four former NFLplayers
have sued the league and its helmet maker,
claiming they hid information about the dan-
gers of brain injury. They want medical care for
past, current and future NFLplayers.
The ex-players Jimmy Williams, Rich
Mauti, Jimmy Keyes and Nolan Franz led
the federal lawsuit in New Orleans on Sunday.
Last week, the NFLtentatively agreed to pay
$765 million to past players with health prob-
lems that can be caused by concussions, but
some said the amount should have been more.
James Dugan II, the attorney for the former
players bringing the new suit, did not immedi-
ately return a call and email seeking comment.
Neither the league nor helmet maker Riddell,
Inc. would comment Tuesday about the new
suit, which claims they failed to protect play-
ers from brain injuries. Riddell isnt part of the
proposed settlement.
The players say they have suffered one or
more traumatic brain injuries. They want the
NFLand Riddell to set up and pay for a medical
monitoring and treatment program for all for-
mer, current and future NFLplayers.
Valley City State University), its safe to
say Menlo will take its lumps in the years
initial stages. But if anything, theyll be
battle-tested by the time the conference
schedule kicks off.
Despite the harsh loss, the fact that Bell
found the end zone is a good thing. Bell had
a breakout freshman campaign and will be
expected to carry a big load for Griebs new
west coast offense. Bell ran for 561 yards on
65 carries for an 8.4 yards per carry average.
He also scored four touchdowns.
Joining him in the backeld is Michael
Alexander, who accounted for 11 of the
Oaks 38 touchdowns last season. Alexander
racked up 350 yards on the ground and 399
yards receiving.
Also looking to build off a solid 2012-13
campaign is junior running back Jake Fohn,
who appeared in all 10 games as a sopho-
more and scored a pair of touchdowns.
Returning to the backeld following a knee
injury last season is senior Thomas
Reynolds. In 2011-12, he was the Menlo
workhorse with a team-high 56 touches for
320 yards and three touchdowns.
The importance of the Menlo backeld
cannot be overstated as 2013-14 season
marks the beginning of the non-Matt
Pelesasa quarterback era.
Erik Peterson was the leader in the QB
clubhouse following camp. In 2012-13,
Peterson saw action in six games connect-
ing on 12 of 23 attempts for 139 yards and
a pair of touchdowns. Grieb is on the record
saying there are up to ve different quarter-
backs competing for time with Peterson
inching ahead because of his experience
with the head coachs offensive system.
The offense fueled the Oaks last season to
a 4-1 start with scoring outputs of 41, 55
and 59 points in three of those games. But
they lost a lot of their magic down the
stretch, which led to ve straight losses.
The same can be said about a defense that
needs to regain its form.
Gone is leading tackler Devon Jonsson,
but in his place is senior linebacker James
Yoder, who led the returning group with 49
total tackles, including six for loss. Right
behind Yoder is fellow senior Camyar
Meshkaty. The Beverly Hills native was a
stalwart on the Oaks defensive line with 42
tackles (eight for loss) and a team-best 4.5
sacks last season. Also huge for the Oaks
will be Angel Jimenez and Michele Canali,
who return nearly 40 tackles from a defen-
sive line that needs to be a major strength of
this Menlo team.
Unfortunately for the Oaks, the defense
didnt quite show up last weekend.
With the loss, Menlo falls to 0-1 while
Carroll improves to 1-0. The Oaks return to
action Sept. 7 when they travel to Grand
Junction, Colo. for a meeting with Mesa
State College. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

NFL WEEK 1 SCHEDULE
CEO Russell Coutts, skipper Jimmy
Spithill and tactician John
Kostecki, were not implicated in the
scandal, which involved 45-foot
catamarans that were prototypes for
the 72-footers being sailed in the
Americas Cup regatta.
Coutts, a New Zealander who has
won the Americas Cup four times,
told The Associated Press it was an
outrageous decision by the jury.
It sets an unbelievable precedent
ongoing, Coutts said. You could
think of lots of analogies. Think of
Olympic athletes on a team break-
ing the rules and a whole team get-
ting penalized. Its completely out-
rageous.
Coutts said de Ridder has been a
fantastic team member and a fantas-
tic sailor for many, many years. I
think all the decisions are incredi-
bly harsh. I dont think the evidence
supported the jurys decision.
Langford will replace de Ridder
trimming the 131-foot wing sail,
which looks and performs like an
airplane wing, helping to power the
boat to speeds in excess of 50 mph.
Hes 22 years old but Im sure
hes going to do a ne job, Coutts
said. We have four days to get him
ready.
According to the jury report,
Langford became aware last year
that weight had been added to two
boats, but that he did not consider
whether it might be a breach of the
rules.
The jury said Langfords testimo-
ny was honest and that the panel
didnt doubt his integrity.
However, not knowing the rules
relating to a one-design manufac-
turers class is not the conduct
required of a professional sailor,
the jury said.
Coutts said having to win 11 races
to keep the Cup obviously is
going to make it more difcult. The
fact that we have to rearrange crew at
last moment makes it more difcult.
But were going to be focused from
now on in the remaining four days
to get ready for this and get ready for
Saturday.
SAILING
NEWYORK From an ace on the
rst point to a stinging return on the
last, Serena Williams was close to
perfect in the U.S. Open quarter-
nals.
The score said it all: 6-0, 6-0.
Yes, Williams is looking better
and better with each match at the
years last Grand Slam tournament.
With two more wins no matter the
exact scores shell earn a fth title
at Flushing Meadows and 17th major
championship overall.
The No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded
Williams shut out 18th-seeded Carla
Suarez Navarro of Spain, winning 53
of 71 points and dominating pretty
much every statistical category
Tuesday night. The rst set took all
of 19 minutes. The second was slow-
er, lasting 33 minutes, but no less
lopsided.
In Fridays seminals, Williams
will play 2011 French Open champi-
on Li Na of China.
Asked in an on-court interview if
her game is peaking, Williams
replied: No. Not yet. I hope not. Im
just trying to do the best that I can.
Well, that just happens to be rather
good. Through ve matches,
Williams has dropped a total of 13
games so far. For comparisons sake,
know this: Suarez Navarro lost more
games than that in her previous
match alone, 15, while eliminating
No. 8 Angelique Kerber.
That victory, and her seeding,
should have demonstrated that Suarez
Navarro is quite capable of playing
well, too. But not on this evening.
Not against Williams, who is 65-4
with eight titles in 2013. Going back
to the start of Wimbledon last year,
the 31-year-old American is 96-5
with 13 trophies, including from
three of the past ve Grand Slam tour-
naments plus the London Olympics.

community trust in the decision-makers.
Rakesh Hegde: Both Belmont and
Redwood Shores communities have unique
challenges, but on the whole all the seven
schools in the district provide quality educa-
tion that our kids deserve. The capacity issue
due to high enrollments needs to be solved
to ensure that the kids go to their neighbor-
hood schools.
Amy Koo: The message of seven schools
one district is a unifying theme, but
Belmont and Redwood Shores are two differ-
ent communities and more should be done to
acknowledge the differences and account for
them in district policies, communication
messages and methods and task force selec-
tion criteria.
Herb Neuman: The district seeks to treat
both communities fairly and frequently
achieves that goal. The recent surprise
announcement targeting certain Shores
kindergartners for displacement from a
neighborhood school followed by an equal-
ly surprising reversal serve to undermine our
residents trust in the fairness and thought-
fulness of the trustees decision-making.
Naomi Ni shi moto: As a school district,
we are one community. However, because the
district has made decisions based on short-
term solutions and then failing to clearly
communicate its decisions, both communi-
ties have felt neglected. Envisioning long-
term goals and improving communication
should be a top priority for any prospective
board member.
Charles Vel schow: Given that huge
mistakes were made years ago (the selling of
district land in the 80s when enrollment
dropped), fairly well. The district and com-
munity has built two schools, received
matching funds to expand Redwood Shores
Elementary, with room for growth. We need
to communicate better with all community
members.
Kelly Redmon: I think the district has
done a decent job balancing the needs of
both of these communities, but I believe
theres a lot more work to be done. One way
to help strengthen the bond between these
two communities would be to improve com-
munication and transparency with all com-
munities.
Do you agree with the Common
Core standards?
Suvarna Bhopale: Yes. The Common
Core curriculum is designed to teach students
skills relevant to succeed in higher educa-
tion, career and life. These K-12 learning
standards delve deeper into key concepts in
math and English language arts and require
students to apply acquired knowledge, rather
than master multiple-choice tests.
Rakesh Hegde: I think Common Core
standards, if implemented correctly, ensure
that no matter where the students live, they
are equally skilled and equipped to compete
with their peers globally. It is also impor-
tant that the transition phase is coupled with
well-equipped instructional materials and
adequate training for the staff.
Amy Koo: Yes. I believe Common Core
will enable everyone who has an inuence
on a childs education to be on the same page
regarding expectations no matter where they
live, but allows local jurisdictions and
teachers themselves to create the content
and curriculum that best ts their students
needs.
Herb Neuman: Since 1997, California
has led the country in adopting statewide
academic content standards for English-lan-
guage arts and mathematics. These standards
have helped our students succeed academical-
l y. I anticipate the Common Core standards,
once fully implemented, will similarly be
leveraged by teachers and families to the
benet of our children.
Naomi Ni shi moto: I agree with the
concept of the Common Core Standards
because students are required to think and
reason more than before. The new standards
emphasize the need for students to under-
stand and explain their answers.
Charl es Vel s chow: Yes, they are a
marked improvement over the previous state
standards. Common Core requires more crit-
ical thinking, cross curricular analysis and
align with international benchmarks. The
board must support professional develop-
ment to ensure their implementation, they
will be a welcome challenge for our students.
Kelly Redmon: Yes. Finally standards
that make sense, are achievable, increase
rigor, prepare students for college and
careers and allow for teacher creativity.
These are a breath of fresh air compared the
other standards weve had to use.
What curriculum changes would you
like to see at the district?
Suvarna Bhopale: We must ensure that
students at all levels, from those who have
special needs to those in the GATE (gifted
and talented) program, receive a high-quali-
ty education. Though the state has eliminat-
ed funding for GATE, teachers must be
encouraged to provide differentiated instruc-
tion to GATE students within the mainstream
classroom.
Rakesh Hegde: While we are in the tran-
sition phase to the Common Core standards
and a new curriculum is being rolled out, I
would like to see a larger emphasis on
engaging the students in the STEM areas,
which will build a solid foundation for quali-
ty education.
Amy Koo: I would like to see more sup-
port for specialized programs such as GATE
or language immersion. Children are pas-
sionate about different things and should be
given an opportunity to excel in the areas
they are passionate about; these programs
can be located at one school to serve the dis-
tricts students.
Herb Neuman: Our children will compete
in a global economy and the district must
focus on math, science and engineering. The
district talks about 21st Century
Education, but in 2011, only 4 percent of
the $2 million from measures G and U was
spent on these areas. That is not good
enough.
Naomi Ni shi moto: In general BRSSD
has a great curriculum, in part due to the sup-
port of the PTA, education foundation and
general public. But theres always room for
improvement and thats a discussion I would
love to start with the teachers.
Charles Vel schow: Long term: further
implementation and strengthening of STEM
programs, an organized GATE program,
summer enrichment for EL and at-risk stu-
dents and a districtwide standard for second
language development for all students
beginning in elementary school.
Kelly Redmon: With Common Core,
there will be some curriculum changes. But
this is a question that needs the input of the
teachers, the masters of curriculum. They
should be the ones telling us whats work-
ing, what isnt working and what additional
resources they need.
Do you think the Local Contro l
Funding Formula will have a positive
or negative impact on the district?
Suvarna Bhopale: Unclear. LCFF pro-
vides districts with greater control over their
budgets and more money to districts with
high numbers of economically disadvan-
taged, English-learners or foster children.
Because LCFF will replace the basic aid/rev-
enue limit distinction, the budgetary impact
on BRSSD is undetermined another rea-
son to renew the parcels.
Rakesh Hegde: LCFF will shift control
over spending and budgeting from state to
districts. While this gives more control to
the district, it is designed to give more
money to disadvantaged schools. This may
mean lesser funds for BRSSD. As the
specics of LCFF are rolled out, the impact
will be clearer.
Amy Koo: The impact can be positive.
As a basic aid district where per pupil fund-
ing is decreasing as enrollment increases,
the district may revisit the decision to
remain basic aid. Involving all stakeholders
in creating an annual accountability plan per
LCFF priorities will improve transparency
in decision making and stakeholder engage-
ment.
Herb Neuman: Simply by replacing the
current funding system, LCF could be a net
positive. LCF increases state spending for
education with potentially more money for
our district in the coming years. Overall
state funding will not fall below 2012 lev-
els. The required Local Accountability Plans
could drive meaningful community involve-
ment.
Naomi Ni shi moto: I think it will have a
positive impact on the district since it gives
the district exibility and more control on
how to best use the funding for our schools
needs.
Charles Vel schow: If enrollment con-
tinues to grow, in ve years or more we
should benet from LCFF, as we move out of
basic aid status and revenue limit districts
are funded appropriately. However, one pro-
jection has BRSSD second to last in per
pupil spending countywide under LCFF in
the short term.
Kelly Redmon: Overall, I believe the
LCFF will help lift California up from our
low ranking. It is exciting that our own
community will have the freedom and
responsibility to make decisions about
where our money should be spent. That
being said, the new formula probably will
reduce current funds. No matter what the out-
come, I think it will be important to truly
involve all members of our community;
there must be public transparency.

Patterson currently oversees a department of about 130
employees with a budget of about $25 million annually or
more depending on capital projects the city undertakes.
The city has about 500 employees with a total budget of
about $160 million. Pattersons appointment comes shortly
after the hiring of Rory Walsh as the citys interim communi-
ty development director and a council decision to hire an audi-
tor to probe the citys CDD. Walsh replaces Lisa Grote, whose
last day with the city is today.
The CDD has hit some bumps of late, including Grotes
departure, the resignation of two other key Planning Division
employees and the decision to conduct a management audit.
Both came after the City Council ruled that the controversial
7-Eleven on San Mateo Drive was erroneously permitted to
operate and the city was sued.
Patterson studied civil engineering and has an extensive

Rosh Hashana typically is a solidly
autumnal holiday, falling sometimes as late
as October. But this year, the Jewish New
Year comes early the first week of
September, a time when summers bounty is
still fresh for much of the country.
Its a gift, says kosher chef Laura
Frankel, executive chef for Wolfgang Puck
Kosher Catering in Chicago. The holiday
falling at the height of the harvest season
presents an abundance of culinary opportu-
nities for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur
cooking, she explains.
The timing presents cooks with com-
pletely different choices in terms of what
foods particularly produce are in the
markets.
Frankel says her cooking theme this year
is clean and simple because the produce will
be fresh and ripe. Rather than the tradition-
al cooked borscht soup made with late sea-
son beets, shell be serving salads with
thinly sliced raw beets. For desserts, shell
do simple fresh fruit galettes with an olive
oil and egg yolk pastry crust. Whatever
looks best in the markets will help guide her
in developing the menu.
Because the holiday is early, for example,
there will be fewer varieties of apples (a sta-
ple of the holiday) than usual, but more
stone fruits, tomatoes and eggplants, she
says.
The careful choice of Rosh Hashana foods
is signicant, because like most Jewish
holidays, which are all in some way tied to
the agricultural calendar, foods are an impor-
tant part of the celebration and are loaded
with symbolism.
The typical Rosh Hashana meal is lled
with sweet foods, such as apples and honey,
to represent the hope for a sweet year to
come. Enjoying newly harvested fruits is
also important, as is offering a round chal-
lah loaf studded with sweet dried fruit, which
some think symbolizes the cyclical nature
of life or perhaps the crown that marks God
as the king of the world.
This high holiday has come to represent
the beginning of the new harvest year. And
that has deep meaning for David and Jamie
Baker, who gave up a high-end lifestyle on
the North Shore of Chicago to start
Primrose Valley Farm in South Central
Wisconsin. The organic farm, which also
has a kosher cooking facility, sells commu-
nity sustained agriculture (CSA) shares to
locals and provides over 5,000 pounds of
produce a year to The Ark in Chicago, which
offers assistance to members of the citys
Jewish community.
David Baker said that their lives always
have been centered around the kitchen and
the cycles of the holidays; family life and
planting and growing food have always
been a signicant part of his familys spiri-
tual life.
Baker and his wife watched as the coun-
trys trend toward eating healthier foods
grew into a system of corporate farms and
high-priced natural food markets that
depended on huge amounts of resources. So
what started as an interest in backyard gar-
dening to grow their own food turned into a
mission to repair the world through com-
munity sustained agriculture, says Baker.
The Bakers celebrate Rosh Hashana with
several families in their community, includ-
ing a rabbi, by having a seder (a celebra-
Rosh Hashana comes early with fresh possibilities

tory meal more often associated with
Passover) at which a symbolic plate of
foods is at the center of the table. As with
Passover, these foods help tell the story
of the significance of the holiday.
Few Jewish families celebrate Rosh
Hashana with this kind of seder, but for
the Bakers it helps close the circle on
their agriculturally centered lives. The
seder plate will hold many foods typically
included at Rosh Hashana, such as leeks,
spinach and potatoes, but also will have
some vegetables that were particularly
abundant in this years harvest at
Primrose Valley Farm.
The rabbi, says Baker, will say a tradi-
tional prayer over each food, then offer
his thoughts on how the food fits into
their lives running the farm and nourish-
ing members of the community.
Laura Frankel also sees the Jewish high
holy days which start with Rosh
Hashana and end with Yom Kippur (a day
of atonement) as a time for reflection,
new beginnings and always an opportuni-
ty for learning something new.
This year, rather than relying on culi-
nary creativity to turn late harvest pro-
duce into a great meal, shes committed to
letting the foods speak for themselves.
She sees this holiday as an opportunity
for cooks to learn to do less to their foods
rather than rely on complicated recipes.
Her Rosh Hashana lamb or brisket will
be roasted and served with a butter made
by cooking down fresh beets and apples.
To break the Yom Kippur fast she might
offer an heirloom tomato gazpacho soup.
Frankel encourages home cooks to take
advantage of whatever fruits, vegetables
and herbs are at the height of freshness in
their area.
This caramelized onion, eggplant and
heirloom tomato tart is made with an
olive oil crust and can be served alongside
meat or poultry for Rosh Hashana, or
served cold or at room temperature as part
of a Yom Kippur fast breaking.
Date and honey zucchini bread has dual
holiday suitability as well. Serve it as a
Rosh Hashana dessert, or perhaps spread
with a little cream cheese as part of a light
Yom Kippur break-fast dairy meal.
CARAMELIZED ONION, EGGPLANT
AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART
Start to finish: 2 hours
Servings: 8
For the crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, chilled in
the freezer for 1 hour
4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
Olive oil cooking spray
1 3/4 pounds small eggplants, peel and
cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced red onions (about 3
large)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 heirloom tomatoes (multiple colors),
cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Fresh basil leaves, to garnish
To make the crust, in a large bowl whisk
together flour and salt. Add chilled olive
oil and using clean hands or a fork, mix
until the oil is incorporated and the mix-
ture is the consistency of small peas. Add
the ice water and mix until dough has just
formed. Shaped into a 6-inch disk, wrap
tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for
at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
Position an oven rack in the middle of the
oven. Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a large
baking sheet with olive oil cooking
spray.
Mist the eggplant rounds with cooking
spray, then season both sides of each
slice with salt and pepper. Arrange the
eggplants slices in a single layer on the
prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 min-
utes, or until soft and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the eggplant cooks, in a large
saucepan over medium, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions and saute until softened
and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1
teaspoon salt and the thyme, then reduce
heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally
so the onions dont burn, until very soft
and browned, about another 30 minutes.
Stir in the vinegar and remove from heat.
Mist an 11-inch springform tart pan (or
a tart pan with a removable bottom) with
cooking spray.
On a clean, floured surface using a
floured rolling pin, roll the chilled dough
into a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough
to the tart pan and fold in and press
together the overhanging dough to build
up the edges. If the dough tears or breaks,
simply piece it together and press it into
the pan.
Spread the onion mixture in an even
layer over the bottom of the tart. Add an
even layer of the eggplant. Top with
tomato slices arranged in an overlapping
circular pattern. Spray the top of the tart
with olive oil cooking spray, then season
with salt and pepper.
Bake until the crust is golden and the
tomatoes are slightly browned, about 45
minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a
rack. Remove the outer ring of the pan and
transfer the tart to a serving plate. Slice
into 8 wedges and serve warm, at room
temperature or chilled. Serve garnished
with torn basil leaves.

Most people know challah a
Jewish egg bread as a braided loaf.
But truth is, it can take on a variety of
shapes. And at Rosh Hashana it often
is formed into a spiral, which is meant
to symbolize the circle and continuity
of the Jewish new year.
To make this delicious celebratory
bread a little easier, we gave our ver-
sion of spiral challah a boost thanks
to a bit of help from baking powder.
And to make it easier to shape and
faster to bake we divided the large
loaf into mini rolls shaped in mufn
tins. The result tastes like challah, but
looks like a beautiful popover.
If desired, you can add raisins to the
spirals, then drizzle them with honey
after they come out of the oven for a
great breakfast.
SPEEDY CHALLAH
MUFFIN SPIRALS
Start to nish: 2 1/2 hours (30 min-
utes active)
Servings: 16
2/3 cup warm water
4 whole eggs, room temperature
3 egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons instant yeast
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose our
For the egg wash:
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
In the bowl of a stand mixer, com-
bine the water, 4 whole eggs, 3 egg
yolks, oil, honey, salt, baking pow-
der, yeast and 4 1/2 cups of our. Mix
on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or
until the dough is smooth and elastic.
The dough should be very soft and
slightly sticky. If it feels too sticky,
add the remaining our 2 tablespoons
at a time.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
allow to rise in a warm place for 45
minutes.
Dump the dough out onto the counter
and divide into 16 even pieces. Roll
each piece into a 12-inch long snake.
Spray a muffin tin with cooking
spray. Spiral 1 dough snake into each
mufn cup. Cover the mufn tin loose-
ly with plastic wrap and allow to rise
again in a warm place for another 45
minutes, or until puffy.
After the dough has risen for 30 min-
utes, heat the oven to 375 F.
To prepare the egg wash, in a small
bowl beat together the egg and water
until frothy. Brush gently over the spi-
rals, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or
until cooked through and golden
brown. Transfer to a rack to cool.
Traditional challah
in fast-bake format
A baked apple that is
healthy, fast, festive
By Alison Ladman
Like many Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashana the
Jewish new year is rich with delicious, symbolic
foods. Rounds of challah bread, for example, signify
continuity, while apples and honey represent wishes for
a sweet year to come. Of course, just as important is
spending time with loved ones.
So we created a dish to satisfy both the traditional
food customs and the desire to spend time with family.
Baked stuffed apples have the both the honey and the
apples for the sweetness, yet take little effort to make.
The method is so simple, even the children can help.
Adults can core the apples while the kids make the fill-
ing and stuff them. Let them get their hands dirty by
breaking the walnuts, chopping the dates (if theyre old
enough), and mixing the filling by kneading it togeth-
er in a bowl. The result is a sweet and satisfying dessert
that isnt laden with butter.
Taking cues from the Mediterranean, we flavored the
filling with orange and mint. It makes for a great con-
trast to the otherwise sweet blend of honey and dates. If
you dont have (or dont like) dates, other dried fruit will
work just as well. Try dried chopped apricots or raisins.
The same goes for the walnuts. Substitute another vari-
ety of nut or leave them out altogether.
BAKED HONEY-DATE APPLES
Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active)
Servings: 6
6 baking apples, such as Fuji or Gala
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and broken
3/4 cup chopped dates
Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Heat the oven to 350 F. Mist a 9-by-9-inch baking
pan with cooking spray.
Core the apples using an apple corer or a melon baller,
leaving the apple otherwise whole. Scoop out a little
bit of extra apple at the center to create a cavity inside
about the size of a walnut. Arrange the apples standing
upright in the prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, dates, orange
zest, honey and mint. Knead the mixture together with
your hands until it is well combined. Spoon some of the
mixture into the cavity of each the apple, packing it
into the center. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the
apple is tender when pierced with the tip of a paring
knife.

votes on it. Hills ofce claimed taxpay-
er-nanced nonprot groups have lax
transparency and nancial disclosure
rules that leaves the public in the dark.
The goal of this legislation is and
has been to ensure that taxpayer dollars
are not being used for campaign activity
and to increase transparency of cam-
paign contributions from taxpayer
nanced nonprot organizations, Hill
wrote the Daily Journal in an email yes-
terday.
The League of California Cities mis-
sion is to expand and protect local con-
trol for cities and is supported by fees
from its members.
It has challenged the state in court in
recent years over its dismantling of
redevelopment agencies and has raised
money to support ballot measures that
protect city money.
CITIPAC, the Leagues political
action committee established in 2003,
supports the ballot measure and other
advocacy activities of importance to
cities, according to the league.
In 2004, CITIPAC helped raise private
funds needed to support the leagues
effort to pass Proposition 1Aand again
in 2010 with the passage of
Proposition 22. Both propositions
amended the state Constitution to end
state raids on local funds.
The amendments will continue to
allow nonprots to have political
action committees and to support ballot
measures or candidates with funds from
those committees, although the League
of California Cities does not support
candidates.
Nonprot organizations such as the
league that receive 20 percent or more of
their annual operating budgets from
public resources and that participate in
campaign activities must le reports
detailing sources of funds for campaign
activities with the Franchise Tax Board,
not the attorney general as originally
proposed in Hills union-backed legis-
lation.
The reports must be led under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
When expenditures on state meas-
ures/candidates exceed $50,000 in a
quarter or $100,000 in a calendar year;
When expenditures on local meas-
ures/candidates that exceed $2,500 in a
quarter or $10,000 in a calendar year
quarter.
The Franchise Tax Board may conduct
discretionary audits under the legisla-
tion and mandatory audits occur after an
annual expenditure in excess of
$500,000. Violations are subject to
civil nes of $10,000 per violation.
Cities and counties spent nearly $100
million last year on lobbying, accord-
ing to Hills ofce.
In response to a similar allegation
made by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association against the league and oth-
ers, the Fair Political Practices
Commission ruled in November 2009,
after a one-year investigation, that
there was no evidence that public funds
were used to make political contribu-
tions by the organizations, according
to the league.
The league challenged the bill because
it would have prevented it from speak-
ing out on potential ballot measures
that may harm or even help cities and
prevent it from taking positions on bal-
lot measures introduced by the
Legislature.
If we dont stand up for cities, who
can? the leagues McKenzie said.
BILL
safety regulations and reforms at the
California Public Utilities
Commission.
We had to step up, even as a small
town, Ruane said at the event. This
could have been prevented.
Eight people died as a result of a
Pacic Gas and Electric pipeline explo-
sion and re, while 66 people were
injured on Sept. 9, 2010 in the
Crestmoor neighborhood. The explo-
sion and resulting shock wave regis-
tered as a magnitude 1.1 earthquake and
forever changed the city.
In late August, it was revealed that
PG&E used awed documents to improp-
erly declare two Peninsula natural-gas
pipelines safe, according to state regu-
lators. Last fall, when regulators dug up
the connector line in San Carlos,
known as Line 147, to repair a minor
leak, workers discovered that the pipe
was of lesser quality than company
records indicated. There were several
stretches of pipe that had a problematic
type of welded seam.
When I heard, I thought, here we go
again, Ruane said. Its disgusting. A
lot of this stuff is coming to the surface
now and its frustrating because were
the ones who lost eight people and are
rebuilding a neighborhood.
Moving forward, the maximum ne
and penalty against PG&E is $3.8 bil-
lion, which is $2.45 billion after-tax
dollars.
We cannot bring back the innocent
lives tragically lost at the hands of
PG&E and the CPUC, but we can make
sure the legacy of the tragic disaster in
San Bruno becomes an opportunity to
prevent future negligence by PG&E and
stronger, active oversight by the
CPUC, Ruane said in a statement. The
PG&E disaster in San Bruno, and the
failure of state regulators, must serve as
a wake-up call for PG&E, the CPUC and
state elected leaders to put public safety
rst over utility prots and cozy rela-
tionships between utilities and those
responsible to regulate them.
Additionally, of the 17 homes that
were badly damaged, 15 have completed
repairs, one is nearly complete after a
total rebuild and one home has complet-
ed repairs but has not nalized the build-
ing permit. The city hopes reconstruc-
tion of homes in vacant lots owned by
San Bruno and PG&E will begin next
year.
The city is also completing full recon-
struction of the infrastructure in the
entire neighborhood. Replacement of
water, sewer and stormwater infrastruc-
ture in the immediate re damaged area
was completed last spring. The under-
ground infrastructure replacement is
expected to be completed in spring
2014. All the infrastructure work is
being funded by the Crestmoor
(Glenview) Trust Fund established by
the city and PG&E.
The last piece of reconstruction work
will be replacement of the curb, gutter
and sidewalk throughout the neighbor-
hood. There will also be repaving of the
streets and a new streetlight system.
There will be a remembrance service at
the explosion site on Monday, Sept. 9
from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. at Claremont and
Glenview drives. Light refreshments
and beverages will be served in celebra-
tion of families who have completed
reconstruction and are returning home.

effort visit rebuildcrestmoor.org.
FIRE
invalidation in the event of testing
irregularities was fully disclosed to
MHS students and their parents, the
School District and MHS ofcials, in
the AP Manual, the AP Bulletin and the
AP Participation Form. For their part,
Defendants investigated the MHS stu-
dents allegations of seating irregulari-
ties and conrmed through discussions
with MHS ofcials that such irregulari-
ties did, in fact, occur.
The case moved from San Mateo
County Superior Court to federal court
because College Board and ETS feared
bias against New York corporations in a
California court of law.
College Board offered students the
opportunity to retake the APexams this
summer, but some were staunchly
against the retake based on principle.
Jennifer Kao, one of the Mills APstu-
dents who is now attending University
of California at Berkeley, helped lead
the ght to get scores back, said leader-
ship has mostly been passed on to par-
ents. She didnt retake the six AP tests
that were thrown out this past spring
and she said she is going to be retaking
a lot of classes. I know for a fact that I
didnt cheat; they cant just arbitrarily
treat schools differently, Kao said,
adding that she and others are looking
into emergency legislation
for an appeals process to get
scores back through the polit-
ical route. We worked so hard
for those AP tests. What kind
of lesson are they [College
Board] trying to teach us stu-
dents? Theyre just trying to
protect their own interests.
Back on July 17, the dis-
trict reported that ETS invali-
dated tests in 11 AP subjects
taken by 286 students this
past May because of seating
irregularities. The Mills
investigation stemmed from a
complaint issued by a student
on May 13.
Mills High School parent
and former Millbrae council-
man Paul Seto said the parents
havent formally discussed
further actions at this point,
and with some of the students
already off at college, the par-
ents really havent gotten
together. He said he himself
needs some time to think a
lawsuit, or other further
action, through.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nida Corpus Patalot
Case Number: 123661
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: NIDA CORPUS PATA-
LOT. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by DANILO C. PATALOT, SR. in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that DANILO C. PATALOT, SR.
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 30,
2013 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Dennis Rodman
in North Korea to
visit friend Kim
PYONGYANG, North Korea Former
NBAstar Dennis Rodman landed Tuesday in
North Korea and said he plans to hang out
with authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, have
a good time and maybe bridge some cultural
gaps but not be a diplomat.
Rodman was greeted at Pyongyangs air-
port by Son Kwang Ho, vice-chairman of
North Koreas Olympic Committee, just
days after Pyongyang rejected a visit by a
U.S. envoy who had hoped to bring home
Kenneth Bae, an American missionary
jailed there. The North abruptly called off
the ofcial visit because it said the U.S. had
ruined the atmosphere for talks by holding a
drill over South Korea with nuclear-capable
B-52 bombers.
Rodman said the purpose of his visit was
to display his friendship for Kim and North
Korea and to show people around the world
that we as Americans can actually get along
with North Korea.
Speaking to reporters in Beijing ahead of
his ight to Pyongyang his second trip
to the North Rodman declined to say
whether he would seek Baes release. Baes
health is poor, and he was recently trans-
ferred to a hospital.
I just want to meet my friend Kim, the
marshal, and start a basketball league over
there or something like that, said Rodman,
wearing rings through his lower lip and
each nostril. I have not been promised
anything. I am just going there as a friendly
gesture.

CAIRO An Egyptian doctor once close
to Osama bin Laden is bringing together
multiple al-Qaida-inspired militant groups
in Egypts Sinai to ght the countrys mili-
tary, as the lawless peninsula emerges as a
new theater for jihad, according to Egyptian
intelligence and security ofcials.
There have been other signs of a danger-
ous shift in the longtime turmoil in the
peninsula bordering Israel and the Gaza
Strip since the militarys July 3 ouster of
Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, the
ofcials say. With the shifts, Sinais insta-
bility is becoming more regionalized and
threatens to turn into an outright insur-
gency.
Sinai has seen an inux of foreign ghters
over the past two months, including several
hundred Yemenis. Several militant groups
that long operated in the area to establish an
Islamic Caliphate and attack their tradition-
al enemy Israel have joined others in declar-
ing formally that their objective now is to
battle Egypts military.
Also, Sinai has become the focus of atten-
tion among major regional jihadi groups. A
leader of al-Qaidas Iraqi branch, Abu
Mohammed al-Adnani, last weekend called
on Egyptians to ght the military, as did al-
Qaidas top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. The
militant considered the most dangerous man
in the Sahara one-eyed terror leader
Moktar Belmoktar, a former member of al-
Qaidas North Africa branch joined forces
with a Mali-based jihadi group last month
and vowed attacks in Egypt.
Topping the most wanted list in Sinai is
Ramzi Mawafi, a doctor who joined al-
Qaida in Afghanistan in the 1990s.
Mawafi, 61, escaped from an Egyptian
prison in 2011 in a massive jailbreak that
also sprung free Morsi and more than a
dozen Muslim Brotherhood members dur-
ing the chaos of the uprising against auto-
crat Hosni Mubarak.
Mawa is now believed to be in Sinai
coordinating among militant groups and
helping arrange money and weapons, secu-
rity ofcials told the Associated Press. The
four officials were from military intelli-
gence, the military and the security forces
and spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to speak to
the press.
Egypts Sinai emerging
as new theater for jihad

BEIJING The sharks n, birds nest
and abalone are gone from the offerings at
Beijings Xiang E Qing restaurant a
favorite of Communist Party cadres just
months ago. Diners are now left with less
exotic fare such as shredded beef, pickled
turnip and fried peanuts.
Chinas high-end restaurants have gone
into crisis under leader Xi Jinpings cam-
paign to crack down on the kinds of party
extravagances that have angered ordinary
Chinese, such as dining on the public dime.
To stem big losses and avoid the now-tar-
nished image of VIP banquet halls, these
restaurants have been busy reinventing
themselves.
We dont do high-end! We just serve fam-
ily-style food! a jittery manager at Xiang E
Qing told a visitor who wanted to see the
dramatic, near-overnight transformation of
one of the capitals most prestigious eater-
ies.
The Xiang E Qing restaurant in downtown
Beijing part of a national chain that has
been among the hardest hit no longer has
the expensive liquors, minimum spending
requirements or special fees for the private
banquet rooms where government ofcials
and business executives once gathered in
seclusion. Its calling cards have been rewrit-
ten to promote a joyful, family atmosphere.
Restaurants serving exquisite delicacies
in banquet rooms long ourished under the
lavish spending habits among all levels of
public ofcials, who spent about 300 bil-
lion yuan ($50 billion) a year on food and
drinks in recent years, according to state
media. But new party rules since the begin-
ning of this year curb spending on food and
drink, and Xi himself has set the example by
having a work meal of four simple dishes
and one soup.
