KERRY STRIKES TOUGH TONE IN SYRIA ENCOUNTER WITH

SACRAMENTO Californias minimum
wage would rise to $10 an hour within three
years under a bill passed Thursday by the
state Legislature, making it one of the high-
est rates in the nation.
Washington state currently has the top
minimum wage at $9.19 an hour, an amount
that is pegged to rise
with inflation. Some
cities, including San
Francisco, have slightly
higher minimum wages.
The state Senate
approved AB10 on a 26-
11 vote and the
Assembly followed hours
later on a 51-25 vote,
both largely along party lines. Gov. Jerry
Brown indicated earlier this week that he
would sign the bill, calling it an overdue
piece of legislation that would help work-
ing-class families.
The bill would gradually raise Californias
minimum wage from the current $8 an hour
to $10 by 2016.
It would be the rst increase in the states
minimum wage in six years and comes amid
a national debate over whether it is fair to
pay fast-food workers, retail clerks and oth-
ers wages so low that they often have to
work second or third jobs.
Democrats said the bill by Assemblyman
Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, would help
workers left behind during the recent reces-
sion.

Parents concerned
with redrawing of
school boundaries
Sequoia considers open enrollment,
boundaries to address student growth
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Concerned Menlo Park parents showed up in numbers at a
school board meeting to contest a potential shift that could
send their children to different high schools and bring more
students from East Palo Alto to Menlo-Atherton High
School.
At Wednesday nights Sequoia Union High School
District board meeting, parents cited separation from a
school they moved to the area to have their kids attend, dis-
connect from their home school, decreased property values
and having to travel farther to get to school as reasons they
oppose adjusting the districts boundaries and revising the
current open enrollment policy.
The solution for enrollment should not be at the expen-
sive of my community, parent Laura Redmond of the North
Fair Oaks neighborhood said at the meeting. We bought
our house 10 years ago for Nativity [Catholic School] and
Menlo-Atherton. I hope we can nd another solution.
Latest try at jail funding fails

Docktown tackles
open space measures
Proponents on both sides of the
brewing open space controversy in
Redwood City gathered the week of
Sept. 13, 2008 in an attempt to
sway members of the citys Floating
Community Association one
of the groups possibly
affected if plans for
development of open
space is shifted to vot-
ers rather than elected leaders.
The gathering, held at the
Docktown Marina, was the rst panel
discussion since measures Wand V
were placed on Nov. 4, 2008 ballot.
Measure W, initially known as the
Open Space Vote, was to change the
city charter so a two-thirds majority
was needed to approve development
on lands deemed open space. The
measure needed only a simple majori-
ty to pass, leading opponents and
councilmembers to condemn the idea
as letting a minority control develop-
ment decisions.
After weeks of meetings and discus-
sion, the City Council decided to
place an alternative initiative
known as Measure V on the ballot
which was specically tailored to the
Cargill Saltworks site. The site was
the primary target of the original ini-
tiative and city leaders believed it
was better to address the elephant in
the room rather than risk the unin-
tended consequences of a broader pro-
posal.
Transient gets 11
years prison for killing
The transient accused of fatally
beating a fellow homeless man in the
fall of 2007 at a Half
Moon Bay encampment a
day after biting a chunk
from the ear of the mans
friend was sentenced the
week of Sept. 13, 2008 to 11
years in prison on one count of vol-
untary manslaughter.
The 11-year term was expected after
being reached as part of a plea bar-
gain that spared Brian David Ruckel,
48, trial for murder and the possibili-
ty of a 33-years-to-life sentence if
convicted. Prosecutors offered Ruckel
a negotiated plea in July 2008 after
acknowledging they couldnt prove
what exactly caused the death of Karl
Stevens.
Brothers get life
for fatal shooting
The two brothers convicted of mur-
dering a South San Francisco man in a
chaotic shootout that left three others
injured including the dead man's
girlfriend who broke her back eeing
from a second-story bathroom win-
dow were sentenced to life in
prison the week of Sept. 13, 2008.
Brian Dean Hedlin, 28, of San
Bruno, received 96 years and eight
months to life in prison. Shawn Paul
Hedlin, 32, of Hayward, received 162
years to life in prison. Both men were
second strikers, doubling their sen-
tences on rst-degree murder.
Judge Stephen Hall imposed the
sentence after rst denying the
Hedlins' requests to fire their
attorneys and delay imposi-
tion.
About 3:05 a.m. Jan. 31,
2005, South San Francisco
police responded to a report of shots
red at an apartment in the 600 block
of Third Lane and discovered Gregorio
Chicas, 22, dead and another man and
a woman suffering from gunshot
wounds. They survived their injuries.
Asecond woman suffered a broken
back after jumping out a window to
escape the attack.
Deficit running at record level
The federal budget fell further into
the red in August 2008, pushing the
decit with one month left in the
budget year to an all-time high, it was
reported the week of Sept. 13, 2008.
The Treasury Department reported
that week the decit through the rst
11 months of the budget year totaled
$483.4 billion, up 76.2 percent from
the same period a year prior.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
School board unity, new curriculum, scal
solutions and enrollment issues are all of
concern to those running for the San Bruno
Park School District Board of Trustees.
There are three seats open on the board.
Patrick Flynn was appointed to replace
longtime trustee Skip Henderson, who
retired. Trustee James Prescott is not run-
ning for re-election since he retired for
health reasons. Flynn, incumbent Henry
Sanchez, John P. Marinos and Charles
(Chuck) Zelnik are all running.
Interviews were held to help the Daily
Journal determine endorsements. To allow
each candidate 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 fewer. Answers
are arranged alphabetically by the candi-
dates last name.
What curriculum changes would you
like to see at the district?
Patrick Flynn: We are already switch-
ing to the Common Core standards, which I
truly support. Common Core to me is teach-
ing children how to use their knowledge in
real world applications. We know that chil-
dren can acquire knowledge, but testing and
applying that knowledge in a working envi-
ronment will make them more valuable in
the working world. Having El Crystal as our
science, technology, engineering and math
school is a good start.
John P. Mari nos: Full alignment to the
common core, actual professional develop-
ment, increasing technology and moderniz-
ing textbooks.
Henry Sanchez: The complete adaption
of the California Common Core standards
would be a needed change to our current cur-
riculum. CCCS provides the opportunity to
embed technology in a systematically and
thoughtful approach through K-12 grades
for English/language arts, mathematics and
content specic subject matter.
Charl es (Chuck) Zel ni k: The new
Common Core curriculum will create some
delivery changes. I would like to see new
and/or additional electives at Parkside
Middle School; resources and possible
financial assistance for PTA/PTO-funded
programs such as elementary music and art
and nancial support for our administrators,
teachers and staff. I will work with other
board members to enhance the quality of
learning at our schools.
Do you think Superintendent David
Hutt is provi di ng sol i d l eadershi p?
Patrick Flynn: No. Public opinion of
the district is pretty low even though our
API scores are not too bad considering our
challenges. The reasons are we sold a
school site. We closed a school site. We
havent had a balanced budget in 10 years.
Distrust of the administration probably
caused the failure of two ballot measures for
the district.
John P. Mari nos: The current board
must of felt so since they just renewed his
contract for four years.
Henry Sanchez: He has constantly
demonstrated solid leadership in a multitude
of scal, instructional, infrastructural and
personnel issues that the SBPSD has had to
face with integrity and honesty to the San
Bruno community. During his tenure, the
student educational achievement district-
wide has steadily risen.
Charl es (Chuck) Zel ni k: No.
Examples of his disastrous leadership
include, but are not limited to, school clo-
sure, attendance boundary area changes and
lack of scal management for the last four
years, which is evident by furlough days and
decit spending.

San Bruno school candidates respond to district issues
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Redwood City construction firm
owner whose former wife allegedly attacked
him while wrapped in bubble wrap claims
she planned to torch the ofce to destroy
business records and hide evidence of her
Taser and knife assault.
In a civil suit filed this week, Randy
Wenke claims the Sept. 15, 2011 attack by
former wife, Laura, has cost him nancially
because of both his physical injuries and
that no one wants to hire him due to her
actions. Randy Wenke said he is also left the
sole caretaker of the couples son because of
her incarceration.
Wenke and Wenke Construction, Inc., are
suing Laura Jean Wenke, 52, for battery,
assault and emotional distress. They alleged
negligence, fraud and breach of duciary
trust. The suit also goes after an unnamed
list of medical professionals treating her
who Wenke said knew she was mentally ill
and dangerous.
Wenkes defense attorney Geoff Carr said
the medical claims actually bolster his
clients defense of not guilty by reason of
insanity to attempted murder.
He apparently now admits that he knew
she was mentally ill as did the shrinks,
Carr said. In a strange way, were now allied
against the same people.
Wenke begins jury trial in November and
Carr said while he is not representing her in
this civil matter the claims made within are
admissions that can be used in court.
At the time of the alleged attack, Wenke
was vice president and chief nancial ofcer
in charge of all record and book-keeping at
the company, according to the suit. She was
also in the midst of a divorce from Randy
Wenke, living separately but continuing to
work for Wenke Construction.
On the night in question, Laura Wenke
allegedly arranged a fictitious meeting
between him and a potential client at the
ofce. While he waited,
Laura Wenke allegedly
arrived around 7 p.m.
claiming she needed to
show him a new program
on the computer server.
She was dressed in a
mechanics jumpsuit over
bubblewrap that prosecu-
tors later said was meant
to protect her from injury
during the attack.
The two went into an adjacent ofce and
she stood behind him under the guise of not
seeing him enter the server password. As he
typed, Laura Wenke stunned him with a stun
gun, stabbed him in the torso and sliced his
neck from left to right ear. As Randy Wenke
grabbed her and tried to get the stun gun, she
reportedly stabbed him in the chest.
He called 911 and was treated for serious
injuries including a punctured lung and
slashed neck.
The suit claims Wenke had also removed
business records from a storage facility to
the ofce with plans at the time of the
assault to destroy them and evidence of the
attack by torching the business.
At the time of arrest, Wenke possessed
linseed oil, two five-gallon buckets and
shop rags.
Carr said the claims of potential arson and
record destruction is news to him but theo-
rized that the suit is a way to recoup money
lost in the couples divorce which was nal-
ized days prior to its ling.
Randy Wenkes attorney Janet Brayer was
out of the ofce but told the Daily Journal
via email she led the civil complaint to
avoid any statute of limitation issues. The
attack hits its two-year anniversary on
Sunday.
During a preliminary hearing in the crim-
inal case, a police ofcer said a to-do list
of activities related to the crime was found

Man arrested for stealing Porsche
A man was arrested Wednesday night in Belmont after
allegedly stealing a pricey Porsche 991S from a home in
Portola Valley earlier in the day, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce.
Police arrested 24-year-old Juan Ortega-Ramos, a Redwood
City resident, after nding the car in Belmont and the sus-
pect close by. Police also discovered stolen items from the
Portola Valley home on Hillbrook Drive, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
Property thought to be associated with a number of other
burglaries currently under investigation by the Sheriffs
Ofce and surrounding jurisdictions was also discovered.
Wildfire destroys 68 homes
Investigators have determined that target shooting
sparked a re that burned nearly 5 square miles in a San
Francisco Bay Area wilderness park.
State re spokeswoman Tina Rose said Thursday the news
serves as a reminder that even the tiniest spark from a rico-
chet can grow into a massive re.
The so-called Morgan Fire began near the town of Clayton
on Sunday and spread to Mount Diablo State Park in Contra
Costa County. It forced the evacuation of about 100 homes
and spewed a plume of smoke, prompting air quality ofcials
to issue health warnings for three neighboring counties.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City woman once found
mentally unfit but later competent to
stand trial for allegedly attempting to
kill her father by torching his home
and attacking a responding police
officer is headed back to Napa State
Hospital.
Min Kyung Bang, 34, was supposed
to have a judge decide yesterday if she
is not able to aid in her own defense
against charges of attempted murder,
arson, battery on a peace officer and
battery on a vehicle operator. Instead,
Napa medical staff sent the court an
addendum with-
drawing their earli-
er conclusion she
was restored to
competency. Bang
was recommitted
for treatment.
Bang had been at
Napa State Hospital
since May 2012
two months after
she refused to come to court to enter a
plea and doubts were raised about her
mental competency and March of
this year when she returned to San
Mateo County. Competency is a per-
sons ability to aid in his or her own
defense unlike sanity which is a per-
sons mental state at the time of an
alleged crime.
Bang lived with her father in Daly
City and, on Feb. 21, 2012, prosecu-
tors say she set fire to the residence
along with another unit. The arson
was reportedly captured on a neigh-
bors surveillance tape. When Daly
City police officers arrived at the
scene approximately 20 minutes
later, Bang allegedly struck one with
an umbrella and kicked and punched at
the others. Police reported Bang was
rambling and incoherent.

murder found incompetent again

SACRAMENTO California would
become the latest state to grant immigrants
who are in the country illegally the right to
a drivers license under a bill that passed the
Legislature late Thursday and that Gov.
Jerry Brown supports.
The success of the legislation in the state
with the nations largest immigrant popula-
tion comes after years of setbacks for
Democratic lawmakers and Latino activists.
The state Assembly approved the bill on a
55-19 vote late in the evening, hours after
the Senate passed it on a 28-8 vote. The
Democratic governor issued a statement
indicating he would sign it into law, which
would make California the 10th state to
allow immigrants to apply for licenses.
This bill will enable millions of people
to get to work safely and legally, Brown
said in his statement, issued immediately
after the Assembly vote. Hopefully, it will
send a message to Washington that immi-
gration reform is long past due.
The approval on the nal day of this
years legislative session was a surprise.
The author of AB60, Democratic
Assemblyman Luis Alejo of Watsonville,
was prepared to put his legislation on hold
until next year because of opposition from
immigrant-right groups. They had objected
to a provision that calls for the licenses to
be given a special designation, fearing the
different look could lead to discrimination.
The legislation was revived after lawmak-
ers persuaded some of the activists to drop
their objections.
Alejo was elated as he presented the bill
on the Assembly oor.
This is a very historic night for all
immigrant communities, he said, as a
crowd of Latino senators and Assembly
members gathered behind him. They hugged
and cheered when the measure sailed
through on the nal vote.
We have had far too many families who
have been divided, far too many workers
who have been deported, for not having
something so basic, so simple, as a drivers
license, Alejo said.
Several other attempts had passed the
Legislature only to be vetoed by previous
governors. Alejo said the author of most of
those, former state lawmaker Gil Cedillo,
had asked him to continue pushing the
issue.
The bill could allow some 2 million peo-
ple in California to drive legally by allow-
ing immigrants with proper identication
to apply for a license.
In the Assembly, Republican lawmakers
who opposed the bill said granting a license
with special markings to undocumented
Californians would put employers and land-
lords in a conict between complying with
state and federal laws.
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana
Point, pointed to the cards notice, which
will state that it is only an ID for driving
and that it does not establish eligibility for
employment, voting or seeking public ben-
et s.
In essence, it puts a big ag on the card
that this is not for a person that is in this
country legally, Harkey said. So I kind of
question the purpose of the bill.
Bill eases path for firing
teachers for misconduct
SACRAMENTO The state Legislature has
passed a bill intended to speed and streamline
the process for dismissing teachers accused of
misconduct, despite the opinion of some that
the measure should be improved, possibly
next year.
AB375 by Democratic Assemblywoman
Joan Buchanan of Alamo adds homicide
charges to the list of offenses that can prompt
a teachers removal. But it removes posses-
sion of marijuana and some other drugs from
the list of offenses that can trigger immediate
removal from the classroom.
The legislation responds to last years
arrest of a Los Angeles elementary school
teacher who was charged with 23 counts of
engaging in lewd conduct with students.
Legislation to ban
high-capacity magazines fails
SACRAMENTO A proposal that would
have banned ammunition magazines that hold
more than 10 bullets failed Thursday in the
state Legislature.
SB396 by Democratic Sen. Loni Hancock
of Berkeley was placed in the inactive le, a
day after it failed to gain enough votes to pass
the Assembly.
State law already prohibits the sale, gift and
loan of large-capacity magazines that hold
more than 10 rounds. Hancocks bill would
have forced gun owners who already had such
magazines to dispose of them by July 2014.
During the oor debate on Wednesday,
Republican Assemblywoman Melissa
Melendez of Lake Elsinore spoke against the
bill, saying it would take away opportunities
for mothers such as herself to protect their
families.
Bay Bridge to be named
after former mayor Willie Brown
SACRAMENTO The state Legislature
on Thursday approved naming the iconic
western span of the San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge for former Assembly Speaker
and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, a
towering California political gure who is
both revered and reviled.
Brown was the Assemblys first black
speaker and the longest-serving speaker in
state history, presiding over the 80-member
house from 1980 to 1995.
His tenure, political acumen and ironclad
grasp on one house of the Legislature made
him the most powerful state politician of
his time, next to the governor.

Emergency personnel work to rescue a man trapped in his vehicle during a ooding of Rock
Creek in Lafayette, Colo.
By P. Solomon Banda
LYONS, Colo. Heavy rains sent walls
of water crashing down mountainsides
Thursday in Colorado, cutting off remote
towns, forcing the states largest university
to close and leaving at least three people
dead across a rugged landscape that included
areas blackened by recent wildres.
After a rainy week, up to 8 more inches
fell in an area spanning from the Wyoming
border south to the foothills west of Denver.
Flooding extended all along the Front
Range mountains and into some cities,
including Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort
Collins, Greeley, Aurora and Boulder.
Numerous roads and highways were
washed out or made impassable by oods.
Floodwaters poured into homes, and at least
a few buildings collapsed in the torrent.
Boulder County appeared to be hardest hit.
Sheriff Joe Pelle said the town of Lyons was
completely cut off because of ooded roads,
and residents were huddling together on
higher ground. Although everyone was
believed to be safe, the deluge was expected
to continue into Friday.
It is not an ordinary disaster, Pelle said.
All the preparation in the world ... it cant
put people up those canyons while these
walls of water are coming down.
Jason Stillman, 37, said he and his ancee
were forced to evacuate their home in Lyons
at about 3 a.m. after a nearby river began to
overow into the street.
Women outrun men in
regaining jobs since recession
WASHINGTON The slowly recovering
U.S. job market has helped women rebound
faster than men: Theyve now regained all the
jobs they lost to the Great Recession. Men
are still 2.1 million jobs short.
And the gender gap is expected to persist
until the job market is much healthier.
To understand why, consider the kinds of
jobs that are, and arent, being added.
Lower-wage industries, like retail, educa-
tion, restaurants and hotels, have been hiring
the fastest. Women are predominant in those
areas. Men, by contrast, dominate sectors
like construction and manufacturing, which
have yet to recover millions of jobs lost in
the recession.
Its a segregated labor market, and men
and women do work in different industries,
and even in different areas within industries,
says Heidi Hartmann, an economist and pres-
ident of the Institute for Womens Policy
Research.
Economists have long known that the
recession hit men the hardest. A man-ces-
sion, some have called it. Or a she-cov-
ery.
Scathing obit about
abusive mother goes viral
RENO, Nev. The children of an abusive
woman whose horror stories prompted
Nevada to become one of the rst states to
allow children to sever parental ties wrote a
scathing obituary that was published in the
local newspaper and has since become an
Internet sensation.
The obituary opened with a harsh state-
ment about the legacy of Marianne Theresa
Johnson-Reddick: On behalf of her children
who she abrasively exposed to her evil and
violent life, we celebrate her passing from
this earth and hope she lives in the after-life
reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and
shame that she delivered on her children.
Katherine Reddick said she wrote it about
her mother, who died at a Reno nursing home
Aug. 30 at the age of 78.
Now a psychology consultant for a school
district outside Austin, Texas, she said she
decided to share the story of their painful
physical and mental abuse after consulting
with her brother, Patrick Reddick. They said
they grew up with four siblings in a Carson
City orphanage after they were removed from
their mothers home and had been estranged
from her for more than 30 years.
Everyone she met, adult or child was tor-
tured by her cruelty and exposure to violence,
criminal activity, vulgarity, and hatred of the
gentle or kind human spirit, the obit said.
Our greatest wish now is to stimulate a
national movement that mandates a purpose-
ful and dedicated war against child abuse in
the United States of America.

Barack Obama speaks during a cabinet meeting in the West Wing of the
White House.
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON With a military
strike against Syria on hold,
President Barack Obama tried
Thursday to reignite momentum for
his second-term domestic agenda.
But his progress could hinge on the
strength of his standing on Capitol
Hill after what even allies acknowl-
edge were missteps in the latest for-
eign crisis.
It is still important to recognize
that we have a lot of things left to
do here in this government,
Obama told his Cabinet, starting a
sustained White House push to refo-
cus the nation on matters at home
as key benchmarks on the budget
and health care rapidly approach.
The American people are still
interested in making sure that our
kids are getting the kind of educa-
tion they deserve, that we are put-
ting people back to work, Obama
said.
The White House plans to use
next weeks ve-year anniversary
of the 2008 nancial collapse to
warn Republicans that shutting
down the government or failing to
raise the debt limit could drag down
the still-fragile economy. Wi t h
Hispanic Heritage Month to begin
Monday, Obama is also expected to
press for a stalled immigration
overhaul and urge minorities to
sign up for health care exchanges
beginning Oct. 1.
Among the events planned for
next week is a White House ceremo-
ny highlighting Americans work-
ing on immigrant and citizenship
issues. Administration officials
will also promote overhaul efforts
at naturalization ceremonies across
the country.
Syria debate on hold, Barack
Obama refocuses on agenda
By Matthew Lee
and Nancy Benac
GENEVA Striking a tough
tone, U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry opened swiftly convened
talks with Russia on Syrias chemi-
cal weapons Thursday by bluntly
rejecting a Syrian pledge to begin a
standard process by turning over
information rather than weapons
and nothing immediately.
That wont do, Kerry declared at
an opening news conference, a
stone-faced Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov at his side.
The words of the Syrian regime in
our judgment are simply not
enough.
This is not a game, Kerry said
of the latest developments in a
series that has rapidly gone from
deadly chemical attacks to threats
of retaliatory U.S. air strikes to
Syrian agreement with a Russian
plan to turn over the weapons and,
nally, to the crucial matter of
working out the difcult details.
We believe there is nothing
standard about this process at this
moment because of the way the
regime has behaved, Kerry
declared. And he kept alive the
threat of U.S. military action, say-
ing the turnover of weapons must
be complete, veriable and timely
and nally, there ought to con-
sequences if it
doesnt take
place.
Kerry strikes tough tone in
Syria encounter with Russia
GENEVA Say what?
Something got lost in transla-
tion between U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry and Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
on Thursday and it served to
illustrate the level of distrust in
U.S.-Russian relations.
It happened when the two diplo-
mats delivered opening statements
before their high-stakes talks
about how to inventory and dis-
mantle Syrias chemical weapons.
As their joint appearance ended,
Kerry asked a Russian translator to
repeat the end of Lavrovs remarks,
saying his headset had cut out
briey.
When it was clear that Kerry was-
nt going to get an immediate
retranslation, Lavrov tried to
assure him that he hadnt missed
anything controversial.
It was OK, John, dont worry,
Lavrov said.
You want me to take your word
for it? Kerry said. Its a little
early for that.
Say what? Kerry loses something in translation

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
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

An urgency bill preventing
millions of unspent dollars
used by
local hous-
ing trust
funds to
c r e a t e
affordabl e
units from
b e i n g
swept into
a state program heads to the
governors desk for signature.
The bill by Assembl yman
Ri ch Gordon, D- Menl o
Park, will give existing local
housing trust funds access to
$8.8 million set aside for
establishing new funds but not
yet spent. The money in ques-
tion stems from Pro po s i t i o n
1C which California voters
passed in 2006 to provide more
than $2 billion in bonds for the
development of affordable and
emergency housing.
As s e mbl y Bi l l 1235,
authored by Gordon, would
ensure that local officials
receive training in general
financial management princi-
ples and finance management
laws relevant to their public
service.
Current law requires local
officials to receive ethics train-
ing; however, there is no such
required training surrounding
fiscal management. With assis-
tance from the state treasurer
and controllers offices, AB
1235 would allow an entity
(such as a local government or
an association of local govern-
ments) to develop curriculum to
meet their relevant needs. Once
the curriculum is developed,
local officials will be required
to attend financial management
training once per term in
office, according to Gordons
office.
The bill passed the Senat e
Tuesday and went through the
As s e mbl y on concurrence
Wednesday. It now heads to the
governors desk.

OPINION 9
Making safety
a top priority
By Rosanne Foust
P
erhaps more than any other
part of the state and the
country, San Mateo County
is reliant on a sound infrastructure
that fosters innovation and entre-
preneurship. Our communities,
employers
large and
small, our non-
prots, educa-
tional institu-
tions and so
many others
rely on a stable
infrastructure of
transit
options, water
systems and energy to move peo-
ple, activate ideas and power our
growth.
In 2010, we learned rst-hand
just how important our energy
infrastructure is. Atragedy defying
denition happened in San Bruno
and the community will never, ever
be the same. This tragedy should
not have happened. The critical
role Pacic Gas and Electric
Company plays in our energy
infrastructure became clear. It is
PG&Es role as our chief energy
infrastructure steward that causes
me to write today.
I strongly believe that since
2010, PG&E has revamped and
revitalized their commitment to
maintaining a safe and reliable
energy infrastructure. Since the
tragedy in San Bruno, I have
watched rsthand the efforts made
to change the culture within PG&E;
to better communicate with our
cities, elected ofcials and most
importantly their customers. San
Bruno will never be the same com-
munity and we, collectively, need
to ensure that PG&E will never be
the same company. I want a com-
pany that has the leadership, the
intelligence, the commitment and
the character to ensure a safe and
reliable energy infrastructure for
future generations.
The California Public Utilities
Commission is in the process of
levying a ne on PG&E for the San
Bruno accident. While the CPUC is
well within its rights to levy a
large ne, I am concerned with
news last week that the size of the
ne being discussed may do irrevo-
cable harm to PG&Es nances.
PG&Es CEO mentioned the possi-
bility of another bankruptcy if
PG&E is unable to access capital in
the marketplace as a result of the
ne. The nancial markets reacted
accordingly and PG&Es rating
dropped on several major credit
agencies.
Let me be clear: The state of
California and San Mateo County
can ill-afford to have a major
employer, a key infrastructure
steward and one of Californias
most generous and consistent cor-
porate partners enter bankruptcy.
The CPUC should levy a ne that
achieves the dual goals of recoup-
ing costs from the San Bruno acci-
dent and assures that utilities in the
future know they are accountable
for their infrastructure mainte-
nance. Intentionally bankrupting
PG&E achieves neither goal and
should be rethought.

Letters to the editor
F
or the past several years,
the San Bruno Park
School District has suf-
fered from chronic decit spend-
ing, inghting and poor commu-
nication.
And just this year, the decision
to close Crestmoor Elementary
School was nally made but after
months of confusion and concern.
While the decision to close the
school had merit, because only 65
of its 157 students lived within
its borders, the opportunity to
have an inclusive and productive
process leading up to its closure
was lost.
In May, State Superintendent
Tom Torlakson released a status
report that showed San Bruno
Park was on a list of districts in
the state they may not meet its
nancial obligations in the cur-
rent or two upcoming years.
We could not support a parcel
tax on the November 2012 ballot
that aimed to raise about $2 mil-
lion a year for ve years because
of the districts poor communica-
tion and policy of decit spend-
ing. Others in the community
could not support it either and it
failed.
The board now needs to focus
on its communication with each
other and the community as a
whole before it can instill con-
dence that it can solve its issues
and meet new and vast challenges
head on. Anew state funding for-
mula and signicant curriculum
changes cannot be absorbed by a
board that cannot communicate
well.
Longtime trustee Skip
Henderson stepped down earlier
this year and, with that decision,
there is an opportunity for
progress. The remaining trustees
unanimously appointed active
parent volunteer and education
foundation leader Patrick Flynn to
the board. That they could all
agree on this choice is telling.
Though new to the board, Flynn
has long been involved in educa-
tion and should provide a calming
presence and a practical communi-
ty-rst sensibility.
There are four candidates for
three open seats. The others are
incumbent Henry Sanchez, former
trustee Chuck Zelnik and John
Marinos. Marinos is a straight-
shooter who believes the board
emphasis should be on the class-
room and not on outside issues.
He deserves your vote. So then
the choice comes down to
Sanchez and Zelnik. While Zelnik
represents a point of view in the
community and has long ques-
tioned the boards actions since
he left in 2006, his strident style
may not be a match for the new
board and Marinos and Flynn may
be able to express similar points
of view in a more productive way.
Sanchez is familiar with the board
and is interested in creating a new
sense of collaboration.
If the district is to move forward
and take on its myriad challenges
with a collaborative spirit that is
responsive to and inclusive of the
community it serves, the best
choices for the three seats on its
Board of Trustees are Flynn,
Marinos and Sanchez.
Conflicting
stories are confusing
Editor,
Conicting stories are confus-
ing. Ashort time ago, Secretary
of State John Kerry and President
Obama told us that chemical and
biological weapons in the hands
of Assad are unacceptable. Now
we are turning these very same
chemicals to the head of the
KGB? Am I the only one con-
fused?

Appropriate
checks and balances
Editor,
Sue Lempert stated in her Sept.
9 column Areal contest in San
Mateo that an audit of
Community Development
Department in San Mateo only
adds to the costs of the 7-Eleven
debacle. What does Sue not
understand? San Mateo city
ofces are accountable to the tax-
payers who fund those ofces.
City, county and state ofces
should have controls in place,
and those controls should be
independently tested to ensure
they are operating effectively.
That includes audits of all signi-
cant departments. Sue should have
done more research. Examine the
department audits that are a regu-
lar occurrence in Palo Alto and
other cities in our state and see
the signicant weaknesses that
have been uncovered and corrected
as a result of department audits.
Many of us were surprised that
such audits have not been in place
already. Kudos to the members of
the City Council Robert Ross,
David Lim and Maureen Freschet
who voted yes for audit of
the Community Development
Department in San Mateo. Robert
Ross and David Lim are both up
for re-election. They deserve to be
re-elected for many reasons,
including recognizing that City
Hall should not operate
unchecked.

San Mateo
City Council meetings
and online technology
Editor,
I am glad the upcoming
Burlingame City Council candi-
dates forum Sept. 19 will be
streamed and archived on the
citys website via Granicus, a
technology platform Burlingame
began using several years ago to
make City Council meetings, and
now Planning Commission meet-
ings, accessible online and easy
to search by agenda topic.
To that, Id be very interested to
hear the nine candidates thoughts
on how Burlingame can continue
to harness technology to bolster
efciencies, transparency and cit-
izen engagement, particularly
since Burlingame is literally
located at the doorstep of Silicon
Valley. For example, two intrigu-
ing platforms which I recently
came across in the national press
are www.opengov.com, which
makes budget and nancial data
even more accessible and user
friendly, and
www.seeclickx.com, a website
and app that lets citizens report
broken infrastructure. Im not sure
I can make the candidates forum
due to back-to-school night, but
at least I can watch it online after-
wards, thanks to the citys ongo-
ing collaboration with Granicus.

Too many cooks in
middle school kitchen
Editor,
The November election for
three of ve seats on the
Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School Board of
Trustees cant come soon enough.
After years of non-contested elec-
tions, it is apparent that a chang-
ing of the guard is needed. School
district ofcials are being scruti-
nized for apparently not taking
appropriate steps to protect stu-
dents from a coach/custodian with
prior sexual misconduct com-
plaints at Ralston Middle School
(San Mateo County Times Sept.
6). This school has had ve prin-
cipals in two years. Redwood
Shores families have been ght-
ing over the districts moveable
boundaries that result in their
children having to travel over
eight lanes of Highway 101 to
attend school. In addition, the
district has put a new parcel tax
on the ballot to replace two cur-
rent parcel taxes that dont expire
for one and a half and two years
respectively.
Did I mention the San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury report
from 2007-08 questioning the
legality of the districts costly
Cash Out Refunding or renanc-
ing of a $12 million bond with-
out voter approval or knowledge?
BRSSD taxpayers pay ve addi-
tional school bonds annually.
Oh, and by the way, one recently
remodeled school in the district
added a commercial size kitchen
even though school lunches are
prepared off sight. The Times
notes that the district has hired a
$150 an hour public relations
expert to deal with some of these
issues. Looks like too many
cooks in the kitchen and taxpayer
money going down the drain. Can
we speed up the election?

NEW YORK September was sup-
posed to be ugly for nancial markets.
The prospects of a U.S. attack on
Syria and less economic stimulus from
the Federal Reserve only added to
investor worries going into September,
which historically is the worst month of
the year for stocks.
Instead, the Dow Jones industrial
average is up 3.3 percent so far this
month, even after it slipped 26 points,
to 15,300.64 on Thursday. The Standard
& Poors 500 index is up 3.1 percent
this month, after falling six points
Thursday to 1,683.42.
The S&P 500 rose for seven straight
days before Thursday, its longest win-
ning streak since July. The Dow climbed
three straight days before Thursdays
loss.
Another positive sign for markets is
the CBOE Volatility Index, sometimes
referred to as Wall Streets fear gauge.
When the VIX, as it is better known,
moves higher, it means investors
expect more volatility in the next 30
days. It is down more than 15 percent
this month. Gold, another signal of
investor fear, is down more than 5 per-
cent.
What happened to gloomy
September?
The recent de-escalation of the U.S.-
Syria crisis combined with a calming in
the bond market has provided fuel to lift
stocks, market strategists and investors
said. Expectations of stronger corporate
earnings are also helping out stocks,
investors said.
While the ultimate fate of a U.S.
attack on Syria is unknown, it looks
like an immediate missile strike isnt
happening soon.
Syrian President Bashar Assad said
Thursday his government has agreed to
surrender its chemical weapons in
response to a Russian proposal.
Syria is still there as a concern, but
its starting to de-escalate, said Richard
Sichel, chief investment ofcer at
Philadelphia Trust Co., which manages
$1.9 billion in assets.
While Syrias economy is too small
to have an impact on the global econo-
my, the country is important for oil mar-
kets since a conict there could escalate
and jeopardize the ow of crude from the
Middle East.
Were no longer looking at the
worst-case scenario, said Burt White,
chief investment ofcer with LPL
Financial.
Its also important to look at whats
happened in the bond market the last
couple of weeks, said J.J. Kinahan,
chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.
Investors had been dumping bonds
most of the summer, Kinahan said, as
investors prepared for the Fed to quickly
wind down a bond-purchase program
that had kept interest rates low for so
long. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note soared from 1.63 percent in early
May to 3 percent last week. Bond prices
fall as yields rise.
Nearly every major debt investment
in the U.S. is pegged to the 10-year
note, from rates on corporate loans and
home mortgages to student loans. When
yields rise, it raises the cost of lending
for everyone potentially cutting into
corporate prots, weighing down the
stock and housing markets, and ulti-
mately affecting the economy.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
may be the most important number in
the entire world, White said.
But after the 10-year note struck that
psychologically-important three per-
cent mark, the selloff of the notes
slowed, along with the rise of the yield.
Most investors have become more
comfortable with the Feds plan and do
not believe the central bank will reduce
its bond purchases as much as original-
ly anticipated, several investors said.
The Fed is buying $85 billion of bonds
each month. It could limit purchases to
$75 billion or $80 billion a month,
instead of $55 billion.
The bond market got ahead of itself
and expected a big exit by the Fed and
frankly that hasnt happened and its
unlikely its going to happen, White
said.

Big movers
By Barbara Ortutay
and Michael Liedtke
NEW YORK Twitter has decided to go
public. The company aptly announced on its
short messaging service Thursday afternoon
that it has led documents for an initial pub-
lic offering of stock.
The documents Twitter led with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are
sealed, as Twitter is taking advantage of fed-
eral legislation passed last year that allows
companies with less than $1 billion in rev-
enue in its last scal year to avoid submitting
public IPO documents.
The condentiality will likely help Twitter
avoid the public hoopla and intense scrutiny
that surrounded the initial public offerings of
other high-prole social networking compa-
nies, including Facebook Inc., which went
public in May 2012.
The San Francisco-based company
posted on its official Twitter account
that it has confidentially submitted an
S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. A
subsequent tweet said simply: Now,
back to work. Its accompanied by a
blurry photo of the companys offices.
Under the law, Twitters nancial state-
ments and other sensitive information con-
tained in the IPO ling must become publicly
available at least 21 days before companys
executives begin traveling around the coun-
try to meet with potential investors a
process known as a road show.
Twitters IPO has been long expected. The
company has been ramping up its advertising
products and working to boost ad revenue in
preparation. But it is still tiny compared with
Facebook, which saw its hotly anticipated
IPO implode last year amid worries about its
ability to grow mobile ad revenue.
Founded in 2006 and named after a sound
tiny birds make, Twitter has since grown into
a communications medium of remarkable cul-
tural signicance despite its relatively small
size. In seven years, Twitter has grown from a
few thousand users to more than 200 million.
Its users include heads of state, celebrities,
revolutionaries and journalists. Unlike
Facebook, which insists that its users go by
their real names, Twitter leaves room for par-
ody and anonymity. As such, there are
accounts for Jesus Christ and Lord Voldemort,
Harry Potters mortal enemy.
Twitter tweets it has filed for an initial public offering
Yahoos stock tops $30 for
first time in over five years
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is get-
ting closer to propelling its stock
beyond the price that Microsoft
offered to buy the Internet company in
2008, a feat that seemed unattainable
until Yahoo hired Marissa Mayer as its
CEO last year.
The stock crossed a symbolically
important milestone Thursday when it
topped $30 for the rst time since
February 2008, when Yahoo co-
founder and then-CEO Jerry Yang was
drawing up ways to fend off an unso-
licited takeover bid from Microsoft
Corp. The bid was later withdrawn after
several months of fruitless negotia-
tions.
Yang insisted that Yahoo Inc. would
be worth more than the $31 per share
that Microsoft initially offered, and
didnt waver even after the bid was
raised to $33 per share. After
Microsoft scrapped the proposed deal,
Yahoos stock went into a prolonged
slide. It fell as low as $8.94 under the
direction of ve different CEOs before
Mayer defected from a top executive
job at Google Inc. in July 2012.
Disney plans to boost
buybacks to $6-$8 billion
NEWYORK The Walt Disney Co.
will buy back between $6 billion and
$8 billion of its shares next year, the
media companys chief nancial of-
cer said Thursday.
Thats up from the $4 billion a year
that Disney has been spending on
repurchasing its shares, CFO Jay
Rasulo said during an investor confer-
ence.
Given our condence in the overall
company and where our share price sits
in the marketplace we intend to signif-
icantly increase our buyback next
year, Rasulo said. The company may
borrow some money to fund the buy-
backs toward the end of the year, but
not enough to bring its credit rating
down, he said.
Disneys shares spiked following
Rasulos comments, and gained more
than 2.4 percent, or $1.55, to close at
$65.49 Thursday.
FDA panel backs drug for
early stage breast cancer
WASHINGTON A biotech drug
from Roche moved one step closer
Thursday to becoming the rst medi-
cine approved to treat breast cancer
before surgery.
The Food and Drug Administrations
panel of cancer experts voted 13-0,
with one abstention, that the benet s
of Perjeta as an initial treatment for
breast cancer outweigh its risks. The
recommendation is not binding, but
sets the stage for the FDA to clear the
drug as the rst pharmaceutical option
approved to shrink or eliminate
tumors before surgery.
A study by Swiss drugmaker Roche
Holding AGs Genentech unit showed
women who received Perjeta as initial
treatment were 18 percent more likely
to be cancer-free after 12 weeks than
women who received older drug combi-
nations.
Ray Dolby, founder
of Dolby Laboratories, dies
PORTLAND, Ore. Ray Dolby, an
American inventor and audio pioneer
who founded Dolby Laboratories, has
died at the age of 80.
The company said Thursday that
Dolby died in his home at San
Francisco. He had been living with
Alzheimers disease for several years
and was diagnosed with acute leukemia
this summer.
Dolby founded his namesake com-
pany in 1965 and grew it into an
industry leader in audio technology.
His work in noise reduction and sur-
round sound led to the creation of a
number of technologies that are still
used in music, movies and entertain-
ment today.
Today we lost a friend, mentor and
true visionary, Kevin Yeaman,
President and CEO of Dolby
Laboratories, said in a statement.
United Airlines accidentally
posts $0 to $10 fares
For a little while on Thursday,
United Airlines was giving away air-
plane tickets for free, or close to it.
Passengers reported buying tickets
for $5 to $10. United says it acciden-
tally led fares for $0, although air-
port charges might have resulted in a
small cost.
United stopped taking bookings
through its website and phone centers
to prevent more of the tickets from
being sold or given away. The website
was accepting reservations again
around 2:45 p.m. Central time.

Capuchino will need a big game from linebacker Royal Ale,right,if the Mustangs have a chance to beat SouthCity.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Any high school football coach
will tell you Week 1 of the new
football season is full of ups and
downs.
More downs, actually, than ups.
And heading to the rst Daily
Journal Game of the Week, South
San Francisco and Capuchino high
schools are teams that took those
swings and did very different
things with them last week.
South City eeked out an over-
time win against Santa Clara,
while the Mustangs fell hard to
Homestead.
But we are now in Week 2. Now
we look forward.
Last week was tough, against a
tough team that is considered a
contender every year, said
Capuchinos rst-year coach Josh
Horton. Thats a good measuring
stick. And kind of giving them a
run for their money was a good
thing to see. Of course, the penal-
ties and all that was bad. But this
is a game that, without a shadow a
doubt, we feel like we can do a ton
better than last week and the week
before (in a scrimmage against
Balboa).
South City head coach Frank
Moro, despite his win over the
Bruins, echoed a similar thought.
We had a hard time stopping
them early, he said. We made
some adjustments that worked for
us. But the good thing is, we used
a little bit of everything in that
game. Our hands team, our dime
package, our nickel package. We
learned to play from behind and we
learned how to play an overtime
game.
Its all a learning experience
right now and going into Friday
afternoons game (3:15 kickoff at
Capuchino in San Bruno), the
Warriors and Mustangs will con-
tinue that trend as we inch closer
to the Peninsula Athletic League
season.
The biggest thing on our end
this week is, we needed to push the
tempo, Horton said. Were look-
ing to convert a lot of what we do
on offense to a no-huddle system.
And, thats something that weve
working with this entire week.
Actually, the execution shows bet-
ter results than us trying to huddle.
It can work and show good
results.
They have a couple of good ath-

have to do a good job of contain-
ing them, of containing the quar-
terback and just play our game.
Stay in our lanes and not chase. We
have to play football and not get
into a chase match.
Horton said hes looking to uti-
lize his players abilities to their
utmost. Against a team like South
City, with a fast and hard-hitting
defense, the task is a lot tougher.

Bill Smith, long time head ten-
nis coach for Burlingame High
School, ashed a bit of a smile
when recounting his girls team
latest victory a 4-3 decision
over Aragon.
Its an old-school Panther
win, Smith said. Its the way I
would want us to play.
In a week that began with losses
to Central Coast Section and
Northern California powerhouses
Monte Vista and Menlo School
(by a combined 14-1), the
Panthers started the new Peninsula
Athletic League season not
dwelling on the defeats. Instead,
down 3-2, Burlingame scratched
and fought its way to a 4-3 win
sweeping the doubles and getting
a win at No. 1 singles to seal the
deal.

Avolleyball team can do all the
little things correctly defend,
serve, dig, block but it matters
little if a team cant end points.
That, in a nutshell, was the dif-
ference in San Mateos three-game
loss to visiting Castilleja
Thursday evening. The Bearcats
did everything else right, but just
could not put balls away in a 25-
23, 25-14, 25-17 loss to the
Gators.
We couldnt terminate
(points), said San Mateo coach
Chris Tigno. Were young and our
best hitter from last year trans-
ferred out. Were not very tall this
year.
San Mateo (1-1) was even more
shorthanded without the services
of outside hitter Amanda Crosetti,
who twisted an ankle last week.
When [Crosetti is] out, it caus-
es us to have change around our
system, Tigno said.
The way Castilleja was putting
balls down, its questionable how
much difference Crosetti would
have made. The Gators finished
with 40 kills for the match
double the Bearcats output of 20.
Castillejas Jessice Norum led
all hitters with 16 kills. She also
added a pair of service aces.
Madeline Johnson, just a sopho-
more, added 10 kills for the
Gators, while Katya Scocimara
chipped in with seven kills.
San Mateo was paced by middle
blocker Bella Mauricio, who n-
ished with eight kills.
The Bearcats did OK defensively,
with Mauricio finishing with a
team-high 17 digs, forcing the
Gators to earn every point. But

MINNEAPOLIS With Josh Reddick back and hitting
home runs, the Oakland Athletics are bringing some
more muscle and a bigger lead into a crucial weekend
series.
Reddick homered and had three RBIs, A.J. Grifn
allowed just two hits in seven innings, and the As beat
the Minnesota Twins 8-2 Thursday afternoon to increase
their division lead to 3 1/2 games over idle Texas in the
American League West. It is Oaklands largest lead over
the Rangers since Aug. 3. The teams are to scheduled play
a three-game series this weekend in the Lone Star State.
We know its an important series, but were not going
to sweat about it, Reddick said. We know we can beat
those guys.
Reinstated from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday
after missing time with a sprained right wrist, Reddick
hit an eighth-inning pitch from Brian Duensing into the
right eld seats for an 8-1 Oakland lead. It was his 11t h
homer of the season in his 99th game. He hit 32 in 156
games last year.
Being able to hit it hard ... without my wrist hurting
really felt good, said Reddick, who was also on the dis-
abled list May 7-30 with the same injury. Watching
these guys the last two weeks it kind of stung not being
able to be a part of it, but I was just hoping to come back
and just jump on board and not screw up the rhythm.
Hopefully, more days like this are coming.
Adding Reddick to a lineup that already has 26 home
runs from Brandon Moss, 22 from Yoenis Cespedes, 21
from Josh Donaldson and 19 from Coco Crisp makes
things much easier for manager Bob Melvin.
Weve got a lot of options right now, a lot of guys
that are heating up offensively, Melvin said.
In winning his fourth straight start, Grifn (14-9)
struck out eight and walked just one batter.
I was working well, I was working quick, I had a good
rhythm, he said.

SAN FRANCISCO Even with the most successful sailor
in Olympic history on board, defending Americas Cup
champion Oracle Team USA simply cant catch Emirates
Team New Zealand.
The plucky Kiwis beat Oracle Team USA twice more on
Thursday, moving closer to taking the Americas Cup Down
Under for the second time in 18 years.
The Kiwis turned a close Race 6 into a 47-second victory.
They then put a whitewashing on Larry Ellisons syndicate
in the seventh race, leading the whole way for a victory of
1 minute, 6 seconds.
Team New Zealand leads 6 to minus-1 and needs three
more victories to claim the oldest trophy in international
sports for the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
The way the Kiwis are sailing, the clincher could come
Sunday afternoon on San Francisco Bay. Friday is a lay day,
with Races 8 and 9 on Saturday. Two more races are sched-
uled for Sunday.
Oracle Team USA, owned by software billionaire Ellison
of Oracle Corp., was docked two points in the biggest
cheating scandal in the 162-year history of the Americas
Cup. It still needs to win 10 races to keep the Auld Mug at
the Golden Gate Yacht Club.
The American syndicate which has only one American
on its 11-man crew couldnt catch Kiwi skipper Dean
Barker even after replacing tactician John Kostecki with
British star Ben Ainslie, the most successful sailor in
Olympic history.
Even though the ve-leg course has just one upwind leg,
the Kiwis are simply too good and too quick when the 72-
foot catamarans are zigzagging toward the Golden Gate
Bridge.
After a erce tacking duel in Race 6 that left the grinders
gasping for air, the seventh race turned into a laugher.
Barker sped across the starting line ahead of rival Jimmy
Spithill and kept his 72-foot catamaran ahead the whole
way. The Kiwis led by 7 seconds at the second gate after the
downwind second leg and then raced away sailing past
Alcatraz Island toward the Golden Gate Bridge. At the third
gate, the Kiwi lead was 56 seconds.
In Race 6, Spithill led by 12 seconds at the downwind sec-
ond gate before the Kiwis reeled in the American syndicate
during a erce tacking duel past Alcatraz Island that left the
grinders struggling. Among the men who turn the winches
that power the hydraulic system on the 72-foot catamarans
are Rob Waddell, an Olympic rowing gold medalist and for-
mer two-time world champion, and Grant Dalton, the 56-
year-old syndicate head.
Kiwi tactician Ray Davies called for an extra gybe sailing
the downwind second leg, which allowed Team New Zealand
to split from Oracle on the upwind third leg and gain star-
board tack advantage.
After two lead changes, the boats crossed for a third time.
Barker pulled an aggressive move and pointed his cat at
Oracle, forcing it to do a deeper turn. The Kiwis began
pulling away sailing in light wind and led by 44 seconds at
gate three.
On Thursday morning, Spithill replaced Kostecki with
Ainslie, who won four straight Olympic gold medals as well
as a silver for Britain. The 36-year-old Ainslie was knight-
ed in March.
Until Thursday, Ainslie had served as helmsman of the
backup boat, helping to prep Spithill for the regatta. The
move had been expected since Kostecki called for a foiling
tack that the American syndicate failed to execute in a pun-
ishing loss in Race 5 on Tuesday.
Oracle played its one postponement card of the regatta
and delayed Race 6 until Thursday.

LOS ANGELES Adrian Gonzalez
singled home the winning run in the
10th inning to give the Los Angeles
Dodgers a 3-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
The Dodgers reduced their magic
number to ve for clinching their rst
NLWest title since 2009. They won for
the seventh time in eight games
against the rival Giants, a stretch that
began with a three-game home sweep
June 24-26.
The loss ended last-place San
Franciscos streak of four consecutive
winning seasons.
Carl Crawford opened the 10th with
a single off Jeremy Affeldt (1-5).
Pinch-hitter Nick Punto sacrificed
Crawford to second before Gonzalez
stroked a single into center eld for
the Dodgers eighth walk-off win of
the season.
Brian Wilson (2-1) earned the win
after pitching against his former team-
mates for the rst time since spending
seven seasons in San Francisco, where
he was part of two World Series cham-
pionship teams. He tossed one score-
less inning of relief.
Affeldt was activated from the dis-
abled list before the game.
Gregor Blancos RBI single off
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen tied the
score 2-all in the ninth. Jansen
allowed a leadoff single to Pablo
Sandoval.

SAN JOSE The San Jose
Sharks opened training camp
looking to play like the fast,
aggressive team that had a strong
playoff run last season rather than
the plodding one that struggled for
much of the lockout-shortened
campaign.
The Sharks started Thursday
with a very similar look on the
roster to the team that ended last
season with a Game 7 loss to Los
Angeles in the second round of the
playoffs. The only newcomer on
the top four lines and three defen-
sive pairings on the rst day of
practice was forward Tyler
Kennedy, who was acquired in the
offseason from Pittsburgh.
The core of the team led by long-
time stalwarts like captain Joe
Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Logan
Couture, Joe
Pavelski and
Dan Boyle is
back for anoth-
er run in a clear
sign that man-
a g e m e n t
believes the
pieces are in
place to get the
Sharks over the
hump and to the Stanley Cup nals
for the rst time in franchise his-
tory.
We were pleased about how we
played last year from the deadline
on and into the playoffs. The big
key for us is to continue that and
build upon that, general manager
Doug Wilson said. The players we
have are the ingredients were
looking for to match up with the
system we want to play. We want
to play a north-south game, attack
people, make them defend, and
youve got to have players that
have that skill set to be able to do
that. Were coming back, and if
were ready to build on what we did
last year, were very excited about
this team.
The Sharks return players who
accounted for more than 85 per-
cent of the teams goals and points
last season and almost all the key
contributors from that group that
won 12 of the nal 16 regular sea-
son games and swept Vancouver in
the opening round.
That success followed a stretch
of 17 losses in 23 games that led
to a roster re-set by general man-
ager Doug Wilson as he tried to put
together a faster team that he
hoped could have postseason suc-
cess.
Weve talked a little already in
camp about nding that new iden-
tity here in the playoffs and now
nding a way to just, boom, pick
that back up and go, forward
Adam Burish said. It took six
months just to nd it, and we found
it, so now we know what it is. We
found it, we got it, and now after a
couple months off, you kick the
rust off and lets go pick up right
where we left off.
The biggest questions for the
Sharks to answer during training
camp are guring out line combi-
nations and deciding whether Alex
Stalock or Harri Sateri will back
up Antti Niemi in goal.
Neither gures to get a lot of
time as Niemi has started more
than 80 percent of the games since
joining San Jose in 2010-11 ,
including all but ve games in the
lockout-shortened 2012-13 sea-
son.
As far as the lines, coach Todd
McLellan wants to keep Marleau
and Couture together on one line,
with Thornton and Brett Burns
together on another after their
strong success as a pair last sea-
son.
The Sharks went to those com-
binations late last season with TJ
Galiardi joining Thornton and
Burns and a variety of players
teaming up with Marleau and
Couture.
Kennedy got the rst chance to
work with Thornton and Burns,
while Raffi Torres teamed with
Marleau and Couture after playing
well on that line in the postseason
before a suspension for an illegal
hit on Los Angeles Jarret Stoll in
Game 1 of the second round ended
his season.
We really stress talk, communi-
cate and thats how you nd each
other early on, Thornton said.
Hopefully, by the rst week of
October well all know where each
other are and be all familiar with
each other.

SANTACLARA As safety Eric
Reid exited the tunnel to take the
eld for his NFL debut, he received
some words of wisdom from All-Pro
defensive mate Justin Smith: Stay
back.
As in, Smith and the defensive
line would do their part up front and
Reid only needed to stick to his
duties in the secondary. All worked
well for both groups in the 49ers
season-opening victory against
Green Bay.
Reids rst game as a rookie for
San Francisco came against one of
the leagues best quarterbacks in
Aaron Rodgers. Reid shined, mak-
ing an interception and six tackles.
The next task is equally tough for
the rst-rounder: Defending another
dynamic quarterback, Russell
Wilson, in the hostile, ear-piercing
connes of CenturyLink Field,
where Seattles raucous fans will try
to set a Guinness World Record for
stadium noise Sunday night.
The 21-year-old Reid says bring it
on. He lives for game day on the big
stage, and hardly considers the pres-
sure but rather
sees this as an
opportunity to
get better and
not make the
same mistake
twice.
I always
would like to say
that I step up.
Thats some-
thing I always try to do, no matter
what the game is, Reid said. Im
used to the quote unquote pressure. I
think pressures what you make of
it. To me, I just try to make it like
any other game. Its just a football
game, something Ive been doing
for a long time.
Coach Jim Harbaugh has been
stressing improved tackling this
week as his team prepares for an
NFC West showdown with the
Niners biggest rival, but he was
pleased with Reids open-eld tack-
ling against the Packers though
Reid said he missed a couple of
plays he would like back.
On Sunday, Harbaugh happened to
follow Reid and Smith into the sta-
dium and hear their exchange.
And the coach was pleased with
Reids adjustments on game day.
Hes been really diligent, on it
from the time he got here. Its just
the way hes wired, Harbaugh said.
Hes not an error repeater. He takes
great pride in his own personal per-
formance and hes really smart. Ever
since hes been here hes picked
things up extremely fast, and its
early on.
Reid, drafted with the 18th overall
pick out of LSU, identied a couple
of missed tackles he would have
liked to add to his total. On Sunday,
stopping Marshawn Lynch in the
open eld will be a daunting task.

Jefferson, but turned into quite a receiver. After Damari Davis
replaced Blandino at QB, Blandino caught three passes for 55
yards.
Half Moon Bay (0-1) at Wilcox (1-0), 7:30 p.m. Friday
The Cougars were upset by Hillsdale last week, 31-28. the
Chargers outlasted Manteca in overtime, 28-27. Delshawn

The Spartan were skewered by Burlingame 45-0. The
Gators grabbed a 48-0 win over visiting Branham.
Mountain View managed just 195 yards of offense. SHP
churned out 366 yards of offense last week 266 rushing, 100

go 5 for 5 passing, throwing a touchdown apiece.
Hillsdale (1-0) at Lincoln-SF (0-1), 2 p.m. Saturday
The Knights knocked off Half Moon Bay, 31-28. The
Mustangs hung tough in a 28-19 loss to Riordan. Hillsdale
QB Cole Carrithers earned Daily Journal Athlete of the Week
honors following a 196-yard, three-touchdown performance in
last weeks win. RB Hollon James had 128 yards of total
offense for the Knights 88 rushing and 4 yards receiving.
Lincoln rushed for more than 300 yards last week. Two dif-
ferent runners, Tyree Marzetta and Davion Telfor, each went
over the 100-yard rushing mark.
The rest
With the type of players we got, Horton said, I know
the type of athletes I have and they t the system. Its just
trying to gure out what is the best way to get into our set
quicker and be more effective. I think that with us, going
more uptempo, more no-huddle, thats what is going to be
our nal piece thats missing from our offense.
For South City, its a matter of cleaning things up, espe-
cially up front.
We have to do a better job of protecting our quarterback,
Moro said. And it wasnt just our line, its our running
backs, tight ends protecting the edges and even our quarter-
back. So we spent a little time with that this week.
Moro added South City renewed its emphasis on defensive
discipline. Against Santa Clara, Moro felt they were overly
aggressive and rushed out of their lanes this allowed to
the Bruins to do most of the damage between the tackles.
Its something he said wont happen Friday against Cap.

NFL GLANCE
regards to our doubles play,
Smith said about the Monte Vista
and Menlo matches. Our second
and third doubles learned how to
play against teams that would be
pressing them the entire time.
They took something out of it.
Instead of retreating in their
minds, being scarred by it I
wrote the team, That which does-
nt destroy you makes you
stronger, so we didnt a little
Nietzsche the last couple of days.
Were young, but I think the
seniors did a good job with the
leadership today, said Aragon
head coach Linda Brown. They
had a tough match against Palo
Alto yesterday (Wednesday) so I
think the singles players were a
little tired. I think a little of that
showed today. Our doubles teams
are still young so Im hoping as
the season goes on theyll devel-
op and keep getting better and bet-
ter.
Matches dont come much better
than the back-and-forth affair that
culminated the day. Tied 3-3, the
fate of both teams rested on their
No. 1 singles players. At the end,
Alex Harrigan broke Kaede
Ishikawas serve a pair of times to
come away with a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3
win.
Ive worked a lot on getting
myself out of my head, Harrigan
said. So, out there it was really
me against her. She was playing
really well. She was hitting those
lines, being very aggressive and
hitting a lot of those drop shots
which I dont like. I needed to stay
consistent and stay aggressive
because thats when Im playing
my best.
Before Harrigan, Sara Arfania
and Lindsey Schloetter picked up a
big win in No. 2 doubles. Also
victorious for the Panthers were
Lisa Patel and Haley Shaffer (No. 1
doubles), and Madeline Somers
and Christina Monisteri (No. 3
doubles).
Vickie Sun, Aislinn Oka and
Melissa Ma won singles matches
for Aragon.
Its always good to start off
winning. Its good to win no mat-
ter when it is in the season,
Harrigan said. I think our team,
because we are so young, its like
Oh, OK, well see how this goes.
Were really not sure. We have a
lot of good players that are young.
Today, we proved to ourselves that
were better than we thought we
would be.

points was its undoing.
Game 1 was the closest of the
three. Castilleja jumped out to a
quick 5-2 lead, but a Gators set-
ting error tied the game at 5 and a
kill from San Mateos Katrina
Andersen put the Bearcats up 6-5.
There were seven ties in the rst
game, the last coming at 19,
before the Gators put the game

an ace gave the Gators game
point, 24-21, but the Bearcats did
not go quietly. They got kills from
Morgan Ho and Paloma Monesi to
close to 24-23, but a Bearcats vio-
lation gave the game to the
Gators.
In Game 2, San Mateo got off to
the quick start, taking a 3-0 lead
on a pair of Mauricio kills and a
Castilleja hitting error, but the
Gators went on to tie the game at
5. ASan Mateo hitting error jump-
started a Castilleja 6-0 run, turn-
ing a 5-4 Gators decit into a 10-5
advantage. The Gators then slow-
l y, but surely, pulled away for a 25-
14 win.
Game 3 saw the Bearcats take a
3-0 lead early again, but the
Gators, again, came back to tie the
game at 5. It appeared San Mateo
might have nally found an offen-
sive groove as the Bearcats went
on a 6-0 spurt to take a 12-6 lead.
The Gators, however, answered
with a 5-0 run of its own to cut
their decit to 12-11.
Aserve into the net only briey
slowed the Gators roll but, down
13-11, Castilleja won six of the
next eight points to take a 17-15
lead. The Gators nished the game
by winning eight of the next nine
points to close out the match.
We have a lot of young players
who are talented, Tigno said.
They just need a little season-
ing.

Lexus GS is top fuel mileage luxury sedan
By Ann M. Job
The 2013 Lexus GS 450h offers the best
of two worlds best-in-class gasoline-
electric hybrid fuel economy when youre
not in a rush, and pedal-stomping accelera-
tion when you are.
The newly revamped-for-2013 GS 450h
mid-size sedan also has an aggressive,
sporty sedan look and retains the rear-wheel
drive conguration that many sports car a-
cionados prefer.
In fact, many people dont realize the GS
450h is a hybrid unless they see the hybrid
badges on the cars exterior.
Technology, handling, styling and quiet
ride are all noteworthy in this middle-of-
the-Lexus-line sedan that slots between the
larger Lexus LS and entry ES sedans.
The 2013 GS hybrid is the rst car to com-
bine rear-wheel drive/front-engine layout
with an efcient Atkinson cycle V-6.
Buyers can even get a distinctive bam-
boo-covered steering wheel and interior
trim on the GS hybrid, in a nod to environ-
mental concerns about using renewable
resources.
The Lexus GS is a recommended buy of
Consumer Reports magazine, which nds
its reliability above average.
The GS 450h is the top model of the GS
line in both horsepower and price. Starting
manufacturers suggested retail price,
including destination charge, is $60,360
for the 338-horsepower GS hybrid; this
does not include navigation system, trunk
cargo net or front passenger seat memory.
The 2013 GS hybrid is the rst car to combine rear-wheel drive/front-engine layout with an efcient Atkinson cycle V-6.

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. The big
SUV rolls on.
Five years ago, when gas hit $4 per gal-
lon, auto industry analysts boldly predicted
that enormous SUVs would vanish like the
automobile tail n.
On Thursday, General Motors is unveiling
a completely redesigned lineup of its truck-
based SUVs, three-ton behemoths that are
still popular with drivers hauling around
boats, campers and large families, or who
like to sit high or feel safer in a heavy vehi-
cle. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and
Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac
Escalade will hit showrooms in either late
winter or early spring.
There are some people, especially in our
market, who want a product in that seg-
ment, says Ed Williamson, part-owner of
two GMC and Cadillac dealerships near
Miami, where people often use the V8-pow-
ered SUVs to tow boats to the ocean.
In recent years, buyers have ocked to
crossovers, which are car-based sport utili-
ties that are easier to drive, carry just as
many people and get better gas mileage. Yet
theres still a lucrative U.S. market for the
truck-based SUVs, and GM controls more
than 70 percent of it.
Americans bought more than 132,000
big SUVs from GM from January through
August, compared with around 114,000 in
the same period a year ago, even though the
sticker price can top $50,000 and a ll-up
can cost close to $100. With gas mileage
around 17 mpg in city and highway driving,
those ll-ups come more often than with
many other vehicles.
GM executives arent sure if this genera-
tion of SUVs will be its last. Government
pollution limits and stricter fuel-economy
requirements in the future could force the
companys hand.
ENTHRALLED WITH TRUCKS
The giant SUVs became the rage in the
late 1990s. Gas mileage was of little con-
cern with fuel at just over $1 per gallon.
Nissan and Toyota joined the market with
the Armada and Sequoia SUVs, trying to
take a piece of Detroits action. By 2001,
big SUV sales hit a record of just over
917,000, according to Wards Automotive.
The SUVs accounted for about 5 percent of
all car sales that year, driven mostly by
people who werent going off-road or tow-
ing something.
We were really in sort of a truck craze at
that time, said Bill Visnic, senior analyst
with the Edmunds.com auto website.
Sales were fairly stable until 2005, when
gas spiked over $3 per gallon as hurricanes
pounded Gulf Coast reneries. About the

By comparison, the base, 2013 GS
350, which is powered solely by a
306-horspower V-6, has a starting
retail price of $48,150.
Competitors to the GS hybrid are
the major luxury brands with hybrid
powertrains. For example, the 2013
Mercedes-Benz E400h is a luxury,
mid-size sedan with 302-horsepower,
gasoline-electric hybrid power.
Starting MSRP, including destination
charge, is $57,625. Infinitis 2013
M35h hybrid starts at $55,655 and
has a 360-horsepower V-6 mated to an
onboard electric motor system.
None of these luxury hybrids is a
plug-in. Rather, drivers generate elec-
tricity while driving, and it is stored
in the onboard battery pack. In the GS
450h, the battery pack is the older-
style nickel metal-hydride. Battery
packs in the M35h and E400h are the
newer lithium ion.
The GS hybrid is tops among luxury
branded hybrid sedans in fuel mileage,
according to the U.S. government. It
is rated at 29 miles per gallon in city
driving and 34 mpg on the highway.
These numbers, which are a 35 per-
cent increase from the previous GS
hybrid, are not far-fetched. The test
car, with uplevel 18-inch wheels, eas-
ily averaged 28.4 mpg in driving that
was mostly in the city and included
constant use of air conditioning.
This translated into a single-tank
range of nearly 500 miles.
All the driver did to achieve the
mileage was activate eco mode,
which changed throttle mapping and
made other adjustments to conserve
fuel. It is one of five selectable modes
on the car.
The Infiniti M35h fuel economy
rating by the government is 27/32
mpg, and the Mercedes E400h is rated
at 24/30 mpg.
The most memorable part of driving
the GS 450h is how quiet the ride is
conversations can be held in nearly
hushed tones inside and how
smoothly power comes on.
Virtually all transitions among
engine, the two electric motors and
the battery pack were seamless in the
tester. Indeed, if a driver didnt notice
the word ready in green in the
instrument cluster after pushing the
start button, the lack of engine sound
and engine vibration could make it
seem as if the GS 450h hadnt turned
on.
In eco mode, power came on gradu-
ally and steadily. But in sport-plus
mode, throttle response was quick and
engine sounds were prominent.
In just 5.6 seconds, according to
Lexus, the GS hybrid can go from 0 to
60 miles per hour.
The V-6 is 3.5 liters, which is the
same displacement as the engines in
the E400h and M35h. But only the GS
has an Atkinson cycle V-6, which is
designed for fuel efficiency, and its
mated to a fuel-conserving continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT)
that sounds and acts mostly like a reg-
ular automatic.
LEXUS
same time, companies gured out ways to put big people-
haulers on car underpinnings. The new vehicles became
quick hits.
As the Great Recession arrived, the truck-based vehicles
also drew scorn from environmentalists who viewed them
as icons of excess. Gas topped $4 nationwide in the sum-
mer of 2008. Hummer, the poster child for gas-guzzling
waste, went out of business. By 2009, large SUV sales had
plummeted to 228,000.
A COMEBACK, OF SORTS
Sales of big SUVs hit 237,000 last year, up 4.5 percent
from the 2009 trough but still only a quarter of what they
were in the boom years. Experts suspect drivers have
become accustomed to high gas prices, which have aver-
aged around $3.50 nationwide since 2011. Because they
carry up to eight people, Suburbans and Yukons are more
efcient than driving two cars, said Chris Hemmersmeier,
CEO of a 10-franchise dealership chain in Salt Lake City,
where theres an abundance of big families and people who
travel into nearby mountains.
When you look at it in miles per passenger, its pretty
good, Hemmersmeier said.
There are still buyers who just want something big. GMs
own data show that more than half of Tahoe buyers never
tow anything, and only 1.3 percent go off the road at least
monthly. Only 35 percent have children in their homes.
THE NEXT STEP
For GM, the business case for updating the SUVs makes
perfect sense. They sell to high-income households for an
average of $47,000 each, about $20,000 above last years
average price of a new vehicle in the U.S. Analysts say GM
makes at least $10,000 per SUV.
GM had already designed new engines, transmissions and
suspensions for its full-size pickup trucks. Those will be
used in the SUVs. All it took was a minimal amount of engi-
neering to make the SUV bodies a little sleeker, update the
interiors and add third-row seats that fold into the oor.
GM says the new models will be more efcient than the
current ones. Actual mileage wont be announced until a
later date. The company unveiled the Chevy and GMC mod-
els Thursday, with the Cadillac to follow. No prices were
announced.

Insidious: Chapter 2
has scares and laughs
By Sandy Cohen
Three years after Insidious intro-
duced moviegoers to the Lambert fam-
ily and its troubling connection to the
spirit world, the stars and lmmakers
have reunited for another install-
ment. Insidious: Chapter 2 picks
up where the rst story ended, but
the sequel has enough scares,
laughs and a story of its own to
stand alone.
Like its 2010 predecessor,
Insidious 2 is a haunted-
house tale with supernatural
elements. The typical horror-
movie tropes are at play here:
Creaky doors, creepy appari-
tions and long, dark hallways
explored by flashlight.
Theres also a haunted
piano that repeats
the same eerie
melody and an
outrageously
loud and col-
orful baby
walker that
s p o n t a -
n e o u s l y
lights up and
m o v e s
around.
P a t r i c k
Wilson and
Rose Byrne
return as Josh and
Renai Lambert,
wel l -
meaning parents who moved into a new
home after fearing their last one was
haunted. Their eldest son, Dalton (Ty
Simpkins), has recovered from a myste-
rious coma (a reference to the rst lm),
but hes still plagued by nightmares. He
doesnt just see dead people; they want
something from him. When the frights
become too much for Renai, the family
decides to stay with grandma for a
while.
Lorraine Lambert (Barbara Hershey)
has been through this kind of thing
before, when her own son, Josh, was
haunted as a child. She knows who to
call. Josh was treated by ghost special-
ists as a child, and a ashback to his
youth reveals even more about the
source of his troubles.
Carl (Steve Coulter) is a serious ghost
hunter, while his assistants, Specs
(screenwriter Leigh Whannell) and
Tucker (Angus Sampson), provide
much of the comic relief, including the
always-amusing tranquilizer mishap.
Directed by James Wan (The
Conjuring, Saw) from a story creat-
ed by Wan and Whannell, Insidious:
Chapter 2 deftly juggles various
responsibilities: It offers a good dose of
non-gory scares, tells a story of super-
natural time travel that recalls elements
of Inception, and pays homage to the
genre Wan and Whannell love. In a
tribute to its horror lineage, look for
thematic and visual nods to Pyscho,
Poltergeist and The Blair Witch
Project in Insidious: Chapter 2.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Playwright Amy Herzog looks at
what happens when an idolized
ancestor turns out to have been
human in After the Revolution,
staged by Aurora Theatre Company
to open its 22nd season in
Berkeley.
This two-act play focuses on
three generations of the Joseph
family, who proudly call them-
selves Marxists. Their venerated
ancestor is the late Joe Joseph, a
Marxist who worked for the Ofce
of Strategic Services, a World War
II forerunner of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
When he testied at a congres-
sional hearing during the infamous
communist witch hunts during the
early 1950s, he denied passing
U.S. secrets to Russia and refused
to name possible communists,
thus being blacklisted.
Now his 26-year-old granddaugh-
ter, Emma (Jessica Bates), a freshly
minted law school graduate in
1999, has started the Joe Joseph
Foundation dedicated to ghting
injustice.
When she learns that what she
had been told about her grandfather
isnt entirely true, she triggers a
major family crisis aimed mostly at
her father, Ben Joseph (Rolf
Saxon), for having withheld the
information from her.
His partner Mel (Pamela Gaye
Walker), his brother Leo (Victor
Talmadge), Emmas sister Jess
(Sarah Mitchell), their stepgrand-
mother Vera (Ellen Ratner) and
Emmas boyfriend Miguel (Adrian
Anchondo) all get involved in the
father-daughter rift.
The person who seems to be the
most helpful is an outsider, 77-
year-old Morty (Peter Kybart), a
major donor to Emmas foundation.
Director Joy Carlin keeps the
action moving briskly and has a
solid cast. Bates as Emma is
onstage through most of the two-
act play and carries the heaviest
load in a role that temporarily
devolves into depression that can
seem self-indulgent.
Saxon is convincing as the car-
ing father who has to admit he
made mistakes. Talmadge as Leo
and Walker as Mel come across as
reasonable and caring as they try to
serve as peacemakers.
Mitchells Jess is refreshingly
blunt as a young woman trying to
get through rehab. Ratner as Vera
is feisty as she portrays an aging
woman beset by difculties hear-
ing, walking and remembering
words.
Kybart embodies Mortys gen-
erosity, wisdom and sense of
humor, while Anchondo is caring
and then conicted as Miguel.
Because the plot tends to be
detailed, one must listen carefully.
This is especially true in Auroras
intimate space, where the audience
sits on three sides of the stage. If
an actor is turned away from one
side, he or she might be difcult to
hear.
The play makes extensive use of
telephone calls, especially in the
second act when Ben is trying to
get through to Emma. J.B.
Wilsons set design plays up this
device with telephone poles and
wires upstage.
For the most part, After the
Revolution is an involving drama
with believable characters and cir-
cumstances.
It will continue at Aurora
Theatre, 2081 Addison St.,
Berkeley, through Sept. 29. For
tickets and information call (510)

atre.org.

It simply gives hardworking
Californians the dignity and respect to pro-
vide for their families with their own hard-
earned wages, Alejo said in arguing for the
bill before his Assembly colleagues.
Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, said rais-
ing the minimum wage will stimulate the
economy by giving lower-wage workers
more money to spend.
Theyre not going to put it into a hedge
fund, he said.
But Republican lawmakers said it would
do the opposite, encouraging businesses to
cut jobs and automate.
This is a classic example with how out-
of-touch state leaders are, said Sen. Jim
Nielsen, R-Gerber.
Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Rocklin, said liberals
want to raise the cost of tobacco to discour-
age its use without realizing the same prin-
ciple applies to labor: If you make some-
thing more expensive, people will buy less
of it.
The California Chamber of Commerce
opposed the bill, saying it will drive up
businesses costs by ratcheting up other
wages and workers compensation pay-
ments.
We have it tagged as a job killer, given
the increased costs businesses will be faced
with, Jennifer Barrera, an advocate for the
chamber, said before the vote.
Federal law sets a minimum wage of $7.25
per hour, but California is among 19 states
and the District of Columbia that set a high-
er state minimum wage.
The federal minimum provides $15,080 a
year assuming a 40-hour work week, which
is $50 below the federal poverty line for a
family of two. More than 15 million work-
ers nationally earn the national minimum,
which compares to the median national
salary of $40,350, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
President Barack Obama has sought an
increase of the federal minimum wage to $9
an hour. San Francisco currently has the
nations highest minimum wage at $10.50
an hour.
Californias minimum wage would
increase to $9 an hour next July 1 and to
$10 on Jan. 1, 2016. The bill does not
index the rate to ination, however, mean-
ing it would remain at $10 per hour unless
the Legislature raises it again in the future.
Washington and other states that index
minimum wage rate hikes to ination each
year would, over time, outpace Californias
rate unless the state made an adjustment.
A$10 minimum wage would increase earn-
ings for a projected 2 million Californians
by $4,000 a year and put $2.6 billion into
the economy, Assembly Speaker John
Perez, D-Los Angeles, estimated in a state-
ment supporting the increase.
Opponents say businesses would suffer
because owners also face voter-approved
increases in sales and income taxes, and
because of the uncertain costs of the federal
Affordable Care Act.
Businesses are likely to cut jobs, increase
consumer prices or both, they argue, citing
a study by the National Federation of
Independent Business. The group projects
that mean the loss of between 46,000 and
68,000 jobs by 2023, depending on other
factors including ination.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21

MATISSE JAZZ AT THE CANTOR ARTS CENTER
AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Henri Matisse, one of
the most inuential artists of the 20th century, refused to
leave France after the outbreak of World War II, even as the
Germans occupied Paris and his children began working for
the Resistance. In 1941, Matisse underwent radical surgery
for cancer and thereafter was obliged to work either from a
wheelchair or from bed. Despite these circumstances, in
1943, at the age of 74, Matisse began Jazz, a much-cele-
brated portfolio of works characterized by brilliant colors,
poetic texts and joyful circus and theater themes. The works
represent the artists lifelong unflagging creativity.
Limited in his mobility, Matisse could not paint or sculpt.
Instead, he cut out forms from colored papers that he
arranged as collages. His assistants then prepared the col-
lages for printing in a stencil process referred to by the
French term pochoir. Matisse worked on the series for
two years, with the act of cutting shapes from brightly col-
ored sheets of paper linking in a single process both draw-
ing and color, two important elements in Matisses work.
In 1947, Matisses publisher Triade issued the prints in an
artists portfolio that included 20 color prints, each about
16 by 26 inches, with handwritten texts by Matisse
expressing his thoughts as he created the images. The
bright colors and lively subject matter, combined with the
text, evoke a joie de vivre that mark this project as one of
the most beautiful artists books of the 20th century.
Triade came up with the title Jazz, which Matisse liked
because it suggested a connection between art and musical
improvisation.
In 1948, Matisse gave an edition of Jazz to Sarah Stein,
sister-in-law of author Gertrude Stein, an important patron.
Sarah Stein, Matisses condante and also his patron,
donated the edition, along with numerous prints by
Matisse, to Stanford University after she moved to Palo
Alto from Paris. The works then joined the major collection
of rare books and works of art on paper under the care of the
Stanford Library. This exhibition presents all 20 prints
from the edition of Jazz held in the Gunst Collection in
Special Collections at the Stanford University Library.
Connie Wolf, the John and Jill Freidenrich Director of the
Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, said, The Jazz
series by Matisse is truly extraordinary. Matisse so beauti-
fully displays his ability to combine color and shape to cre-
ate images that are compelling, enlightening and full of
energy. It is a delight to see the original works and be able
to look closely and directly experience the lively forms and
beloved style typical of Matisses later career. These works
are the perfect complement to our other special exhibitions
of French art now on view. We invite the community to
come to the Cantor, enjoy these works and discover all the
Cantor has to offer.
MORE ABOUT POCHOIR. Pochoir, a stencil-based
printing technique popular from the late 19th century
through the 1930s, was primarily used by illustrators and
designers to create patterns and architectural design prints.
It was used during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, and
at the peak of its popularity in the early 20th century there
were as many as 30 graphic design studios in France using
this technique, each employing up to 600 workers. Pochoir
was used by artists, in conjunction with other media such as
engraving, lithography or photography, as a means of
adding color to a print. Each print is unique because it is
done by hand and each remains vivid in both tactile and
visual sense. Artists in addition to Matisse who used
pochoir as a printing technique included Man Ray, Georges
Braque, Pablo Picasso, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris, Fernand
Lger and Sonia Delaunay.
MUSEUM PARTICULARS. Matisse Jazz joins ve
other exhibitions this season, presenting a special oppor-
tunity for visitors to experience French art at the Cantor
Arts Center. The other exhibitions feature prints from the
School of Fontainebleau; graphic arts by Edouard Manet
and his contemporaries; 400 years of French drawings from
the Blanton Museum of Art; old master gure drawings from
the Cantors collection; and lithographs by Symbolist
artist Odilon Redon. The Cantor is open Wednesday to
Sunday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Thursday until 8 p.m. and is
located on the Stanford campus, off Palm Drive at Museum
Way. Parking is free on weekends and after 4 p.m. on week-
days. Information can be obtained by calling 723-4177 or
visiting museum.stanford.edu. Matisse Jazz is on display
through Sept. 22.

Fox ending Smiths
nightly newscast
By David Bauder
NEW YORK Fox News Channel is eliminating one of
Shepard Smiths two daily newscasts and putting him in
charge of a news team designed to quickly break in to other
Fox shows when something big is hap-
pening.
Smith, the networks top news anchor,
signed a new multi-year contract, the net-
work said Thursday. He will keep his 3
p.m. Eastern newscast while the 7 p.m.
show is eliminated.
We dont have to wait til 7 anymore,
said Smith, named managing editor of the
breaking news unit. When its ready,
well put it on the air. When its breaking,
Im ready to do it.
Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes described
Smiths new role as a quarterback able to call an audible when
news is happening and get it on the air quickly. Except for
Smiths show and Bret Baiers Washington report, Foxs
evening schedule is driven by opinionated, personality-driv-
en programming.
Fox is building a new studio, calling it the Fox News
Deck, for Smith to operate. The changes are likely to take
place in October.
This is the way news should be presented in todays world
with the equipment and the amount of technology that is
available, Ailes said. Were making a major investment in
journalism here and its going to require journalists to be bet-

The changes are among several taking place at Fox, the
top-rated cable news network and the one with the most per-
sonnel stability. This summer, Fox said that Megyn Kelly
would move into the networks prime-time lineup when she
returns from maternity leave, but hasnt said where she will
go and who she will displace.

We tend to associate pulled pork with
Southern-style barbecue. But for this hearty
fall soup, we decided to take our favorite
moist and tender pork in a decidedly
Japanese direction.
We started by marinating medallions of
pork tenderloin in garlic and oil. Time is
your friend here, so dont hesitate to let it
go overnight. Then we saute onions and
shiitake mushrooms until brown, and bring
that and the pork to a simmer in chicken
broth. Once the pork is tender, we use forks
to pull it into delicious strands.
Add some fresh ginger and soba noodles
and you have a fresh, warming take on
pulled pork.
SHIITAKE GINGER NOODLE
SOUP WITH GARLIC PORK
Start to nish: 3 hours
Servings: 8
1-pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch
medallions
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Two 6-ounce containers shiitake mush-
rooms, stalks discarded, sliced
1 large yellow onion, sliced
6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium chicken
broth
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
6.2 ounces soba noodles (two-thirds of a
9.3-ounce package)
3 scallions, sliced
Salt and ground black pepper
In a zip-close plastic bag, combine the
pork medallions, garlic and 1 tablespoon of
the vegetable oil. Shake to coat evenly,
then refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to
overnight.
When ready to cook, in a large saucepan
over medium-high, heat the remaining 2
tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the mush-
rooms and onion and cook until lightly
browned, stirring frequently, about 10 min-
utes. Add the pork and garlic from the bag,
along with the chicken broth. Bring to a
boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and
cook for 30 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to
a plate. Using two forks, shred the pork
pieces, then return the meat to the pot. Add
the ginger and bring to a boil. Add the noo-
dles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the scallions and adjust the season-
ing with salt and pepper.

inside Wenkes purse.
Prosecutors also contend that, aside
from a contentious custody battle with
her husband, Wenke stood to benet
from $2 million in life insurance if he
died and was quite jealous of his new
girlfriend. Carr has dismissed both
claims as untrue and the civil suit makes
no mention.
Wenke actually began a jury trial in
May but, just days into jury selection,
Judge Stephen Hall declared a mistrial
after Carr indicated his clients intent to
claim insanity based on a defense-hired
psychiatrists late conclusion that she
was mentally compromised at the time.
Wenke remains in custody without
bail.
WENKE
The district pursued a parcel tax
in November 2012. It was unsuc-
cessful, do you think it should
try again?
Patrick Flynn: Yes. We need the
money to help our schools get back to
class size reduction. At least in the lower
grades, 31 kids per teacher is too much
to ask in K-1. We also need to reduce
split classes to zero. That will take
ongoing income.
John P. Marinos: Depends on the
new state funding formula.
Henry Sanchez: The SBPSD has
lost $4-$5 million in state funding
since 2007 and the district is considered
a poor small basic aid district, which
has forced the district to take drastic
measures including school closure, etc.
Therefore, we should pursue again an
educational parcel tax for the children of
San Bruno.
Charles (Chuck) Zelnik: Wi t h
no opposition to the last parcel tax,
voters showed they do not trust the
current board and superintendent. If
three new board members are elected,
it will re-establish community trust
and if the uses of the parcel tax are
spelled out clearly, in other words,
specicity is applied to the parcel tax
language, then it may stand a better
chance of passing.
What is your stance on enro l l-
ment issues and school closures?
Patrick Flynn: It wasnt the clos-
ing of a school that got me to run, it was
how it was done. Crestmoor wasnt just
closed, it was tortured and slain. By that
I mean that over ve years there were
committees that scared families at
Crestmoor into leaving the school. The
Crestmoor issue needed better communi-
cation. Why are you closing our school?
Do you plan on selling it? Where will
my children go? These questions needed
answering a year prior to closing the
school.
John P. Marinos: We need to do
more things to make them more attrac-
tive so students come here.
Henry Sanchez: Recently, the
SBPSD has been having an increasing
enrollment, and has had one school clo-
sure to save money and reduce combina-
tion classes throughout the district.
School closure is only used as a method
to address scal issues and improve the
quality of education of the children and
professional staff experience.
Charles (Chuck) Zelnik:As far as
school closures and enrollment issues
are concerned, scal management drives
them. We need to quit decit spending,
develop and implement a ve-year plan.
Then school closures and enrollment
will not be issues in the near future.
What qualities would you like
to see brought to the Board of
Trustees?
Patrick Flynn: Honesty and clear
concise communication are most impor-
tant. Stop decit spending. Support the
San Bruno Education Foundation. I wish
the board would realize that we, as board
members, represent the public as the
leadership of this school district. Too
many times have I seen the board
attempting to lead the public. For
instance, did the public ever ask for
solar on the roofs of our schools?
Shouldnt we have nished our middle
school rst? Where exactly did the $30
million from the sale of the Sandburg
site go?
John P. Marinos: Open communi-
cation and knowing the difference
between understanding and agreeing.
Henry Sanchez: The needed quali-
ties of the Governing Board of Trustees
are honesty, integrity, transparency,
consistent messaging, good self-gover-
nance practices and full participation of
all ve governing board members.
Charles (Chuck) Zelnik: Trust,
forthrightness, quality of listening and
hearing the school staff and parents who
are the rst and foremost teachers of our
children. I want to break down the ani-
mosity barrier between the district ofce
administration/trustees versus the par-
ents and school staff. This can only be
accomplished if three new board mem-
bers are elected.
ISSUES
show his hand just yet.
The last jail funding effort was a gut-
and-amend bill that would have relin-
quished state money declined by San
Joaquin County to Monterey and
Sonoma counties, allowed Colusa, Yuba
and Sutter counties to collaborate on
regional detention facilities for juve-
niles and the piece crucial to Hill
prevent San Mateo County from being
disqualied from funding simply
because it has already broken ground on
its new $165 million jail.
The now-defunct bill would not have
moved San Mateo County ahead of
other counties based on its shovel-
readiness which was the crux of Hills
previous bill which also failed to
move from committee. However, late
Wednesday night it fell flat in the
Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Hill has led the charge, albeit unsuc-
cessful so far, in Sacramento to secure
the county money by contending the
funds awarded to conceptual rather than
actual jail plans elsewhere are simply
collecting dust because they arent
required to prove a need or site until
2017.
In 2008, the state awarded San Mateo
County $100 million from a new facil-
ities bill aimed at easing prison over-
crowding but passed on the money
because it refused the requirement to
house state inmates. The state
revamped its funding requirements and
issued another round of grants but San
Mateo County was not even invited to
apply because other counties had larg-
er populations and inmate pools. The
third round excludes San Mateo County
because jail construction is already
underway the technicality Hill
hoped to remedy with this weeks
Senate Bill 611.
Regardless of the state subsidy, San
Mateo Countys new 576-bed jail is
expected to open in 2015. The county
spent $17 million for land in Redwood
City on which it will construct a three-
story hybrid jail topped by 40 feet of
unnished space for future use if neces-
sary. The price tag is estimated at rough-
ly $165 million for construction and
another $40 million annually in opera-
tions. The county expects to issue
bonds and County Manager John
Maltbie is expected to soon bring for-
ward a nancing plan.
On Tuesday, Sheriff Greg Munks will
ask the Board of Supervisors to author-
ize his asking the state for $80 million
in jail funding. While Hill believes the
county will receive a conditional award,
he also thinks the Department of
Finance will disqualify it because the
project is already underway.
Despite the jail appearing to be a real-
i t y, opponents like Redwood City
Council candidate and activist James
Han continue ghting both it and Hills
attempts to secure state dollars. In a
Sept. 11 letter to the committee Chair
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San
Francisco, Han said reimbursing the
county for money it already spent with-
out a state allocation rst on the jail sets
a very bad precedent for state agencies
and their funding methods.
Han also questioned the gut-and-
amend process which turned a public
utilities bill about the Division of
Ratepayer Advocates into a piece about
jail funding.

The board, in turn, said this is all part of a
larger process to address growing enroll-
ment in the district, along with addressing
long-standing equity issues that date back
to the desegregation of the district which
brought some students in the Ravenswood
City Elementary School District in East
Palo Alto to high schools farther away than
nearby Menlo-Atherton. According to a
study, the district will grow from 8,200 stu-
dents currently to 10,000 students in 2020.
The board said there is a need to adopt a
revised open enrollment policy by no later
than early October to adequately alert fami-
lies to the proposed changes for the 2014-
15 school year. A facilities task force will
also meet beginning Sept. 27 to explore
options such as boundary changes, open
enrollment or even opening a new school to
discuss enrollment growth. Other tasks
ahead include the development of a tentative
boundary map and the scheduling of more
community meetings to give input into the
map. The board has also discussed the pos-
sibility of seeking a construction bond to
go on the June 2014 ballot that would pay
for the additional classrooms and site infra-
structure.
For now, the issue is balancing what dis-
trict ofcials see are the needs of students
with community concern over what the
changes may mean.
An interim revised open enrollment poli-
cy would grant preference for Ravenswood
students to attend Menlo-Atherton, North
Fair Oaks neighborhood students assigned
to Menlo-Atherton the preference to attend
either Sequoia or Woodside, and the prefer-
ence for Tierra Linda Middle School students
in San Carlos assigned to Sequoia to attend
Carlmont. Currently, travel times to
Carlmont from the Ravenswood area are
upwards of 45 minutes.
Potential school boundary changes are
also part of the package, most directly
affecting three communities within the dis-
trict: Ravenswood City and North Fair
Oaks, both of which sends its students to
three different high schools, and Tierra
Linda, which send the majority of its stu-
dents to Carlmont High School and a small-
er number of students to Sequoia High
School.
North Fair Oaks residents expressed their
concern for the new boundaries, including
that Sequoia and Carlmont would mean
longer travel times for their students and
less academic and athletic options.
At the meeting, parent and North Fair
Oaks resident John Lukas said there was
inadequate notice regarding the meeting and
other aspects of the redrawing.
Prior to community meetings,
Superintendent Jim Lianides said the dis-
trict sent 8,000 letters out to every parent
that has a child in the district and that the
times of the meetings are certainly out
there.
On the other hand, Kendra Gragg, a social
studies teacher in the Ravenswood district,
said she encourages the board to consider
making decisions based on what is equitable
and good for all students, not just on prop-
erty values.
Trustee Carrie DuBois is looking for more
of that type of perspective.
My concern right now is theres been
this heavy weight in getting feedback from
parents that are heavy advocates for chil-
dren, DuBois said. Every time I see a yel-
low bus I get sad, I see many kids in East
Palo Alto not served. I want to x those
problems. I want to hear all those perspec-
tives before we make a really big decision.
The issue of proximity to schools was a
major concern for Trustee Olivia Martinez.
Its hard for me to reconcile changes if
Menlo-Atherton families went to school
elsewhere, Martinez said. I am comfort-
able with making changes to the existing
open enrollment policy.
Parents said during past community meet-
ings that keeping communities intact and
keeping the options available for open
enrollment were the priority, Lianides said.
The superintendent plans to bring back
further information on open enrollment
policy at the next board meeting Sept. 25.
CONCERN
ronment. People need to realize there isnt
an unlimited supply of resources that will
last forever, said Meriwether, which is on
what the fair will educate.
Since 2008, the Burlingame Green Street
Fair has been providing resources for citi-
zens, businesses and institutions through
local green efforts. With the help of volun-
teers, Burlingame was one of the rst cities
to hold a green fair in the Peninsula,
Meriwether said. It is organized by the
Citizens Environmental Council
Burlingame and sponsored by nonprofit
project of Acterra: Action for a Healthy
Planet. The events primary focus is to
encourage environmental awareness for
future generations.
Burlingame High Schools environmental
and ecology club will volunteer for the chil-
drens activities as well as counting the
attendance. The arts and crafts will be pre-
pared by the Burlingame Department of
Parks and Recreation with free activities for
the children such as face painting and spin-
art.
The spin-art is where kids will do pedal-
powered art by using bicycles to generate
something mechanical, said Meriwether.
Families will have a look at all the latest
in green technology and green cars while
learning about living sustainable and being
more concise, she said.
Representatives from the University of
California at Berkeley will hold a seminar
on Sudden Oak Death and the importance of
trees to the environment. The San Mateo
County Bottle Monster will make its debut
at the fair.
The Bottle Monster is on a war path to
get rid of bottles clogging up the Bay,
Meriwether said.
Last year, the San Mateo County Bag
Monster had retired with the adoption of
San Mateo Countys Reusable Bag
Ordinance, said Meriwether.
If interested in doing more than just learn-
ing, parking lot W will have the two-day
recycling event Sept. 14 and 15 from 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m. It is a drive-through recycling
event where individuals can drop off
unwanted household items.
Anything you bring is not going into
some dumpster, its going to be recycled,
said Meriwether.
Books, CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes will go
to the Burlingame Library Foundation, an
organization that raises funds for the
Burlingame library. All electronics will be
recycled by the Universal Waste
Management.
Universal Waste Management was voted
greenest business in Oakland for properly
recycling and disposing off harmful prod-
ucts from ending up in landfills, said
Meriwether.
There will be no charge for small items,
but a small fee for larger ones. Recycled
items will be reused locally in compliance
with U.S. and state standards; nothing will
be shipped to landlls or overseas.
Even with the streetscaping project on
Burlingame Avenue, Meriwether hopes
attendees will stop by and see the cities
local businesses. The fair will be on Park
Road, between Howard and Burlingame
avenues, next to the Burlingame Fresh
Market 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14.
All in all it is a great opportunity to go
downtown and have a pleasant day with the
family and see new things, said
Meriwether. People are going to learn how
to live more sustainably.
