PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYS AMERICA
DESERVES A RAISE
By Samantha Weigel

This November, Half Moon Bay voters
will have the option to extend a half-cent
sales tax that ofcials say will allow the
city to continue to make vital infrastructure
improvements and build a new library.
Measure O is a three-year extension of
Measure J, which voters approved in
November 2012 and was estimated to raise
about $870,000 annually.
Opponents, however, say the citys
nances are in better shape than when the
initial measure was passed and it already has
too high of a tax rate.
Mayor John Mueller said much of the tax
will be paid by visitors since Half Moon
Bay is a tourist destination.
If you think about Half Moon Bay, we
host thousands and thousand of visitors,
and they help pay for services through the
sales tax. And thats really key for the city,
Mueller said.
The citys sales tax is currently 9.5 per-
cent and Measure O funds would go into the
citys general fund. The money would con-
tribute to a prioritized list of projects such
as substantially funding a new library,
upgrading Smith Field, improving city
parks and repaving streets, according to the
measure.
Since 2008, the city has made $3.5 mil-
lion in cuts including eliminating its local
police department by contracting with the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce, reducing
full-time staff and deferring infrastructure
maintenance, according to the measure.
Half-cent sales tax extension on November ballot

In-law units
may receive
new guides

Redwood City homeowners
wanting to build in-law units in
the future may nd the city less
restrictive about size, parking and
residency under a series of recom-
mendations coming before the
Planning Commission for consid-
eration.
Any changes to the existing
ordinance governing accessory
dwelling units the proper name
for buildings more commonly
referred to as in-law or granny
units is still a ways away but
the city is narrowing down possi-
bilities based on public feedback.
The city held a community work-
shop and collected more than 350
comments on 25 topics about
ADUs. On Tuesday night, the
Planning Commission will dis-
cuss that input, dene its primary
objects and give its own direction.
If the outcome is proposed amend-
ments to the current rules, the
Planning Commission will look
at a draft ordinance at a later meet-
ing to make a formal recommenda-
tion to the City Council.
The city began looking at ADUs
earlier this year to gure out if its
code was the reason why the num-
ber of illegal in-law units greatly
outweigh those permitted.
Although the city anticipated see-
ing 132 new units over a 10-year
planning period, only 30 went up
between 2000 and 2010. In the
last year, only one to three per-

With raising height limits in a stretch of
area north of San Brunos downtown on the
November ballot, those for and against the
measure are expressing their concerns and
support.
Measure N would modify 1977s
Ordinance 1284, which limits building
heights, potentially raising them from the
current maximum of 50 feet to 90 feet near
the San Bruno Caltrain station. The ordi-
nance was the result of a voter initiative,
which was intended to preserve the existing
character of San Bruno by requiring voter
approval for high-rise developments,
increased density in existing neighbor-
hoods and projects encroaching upon scenic
San Bruno to decide on height limits

Police: Utah suspect
swallows stolen ring
OREM, Utah Two people were
arrested on suspicion of felony theft
after police said one of them swal-
lowed a stolen ring in an attempt to
hide it.
Police say an X-ray clearly showed
the ring inside the stomach of 25-
year-old Christina Schlegel.
Investigators say 29-year-old
Bryan Ford had been examining a
ring worth several thousand dollars
at a Zales jewelry store on Friday
night in Orem, about 45 miles south
of Salt Lake City, when he allegedly
left with it.
Police say he was chased by an
employee as he got into a car driven
away by Schlegel. Officers stopped
the car and arrested both suspects a
short time later.
Police say they were baffled as to
the rings whereabouts until the X-
ray of Schlegels stomach was taken.
Shaun the shaggy Aussie
sheep finally shorn smooth
SYDNEY Shaun the shaggy
Australian sheep has at last been
shorn smooth. But the woolly wan-
derer wasnt the wooliest of them all.
The sheep apparently had been hid-
ing for years on a farm on the island
state of Tasmania and had never been
shorn. The Australian Broadcasting
Corp. reported Thursday that Shaun
lost 23.5 kilograms (52 pounds) of
wool at his first haircut.
Owners Peter and Netty Hazel had
hoped Shaun would beat a record held
by a now-deceased New Zealand
sheep named Shrek.
Shrek rose to fame in 2004 after he
was found hiding in caves on his
farm, having evaded the annual
shearing roundups for seven years.
He had 27 kilograms (60 pounds) of
wool shorn off his body.
Third tourist cited for
flying drone in Yellowstone
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK,
Wyo. For the third time this sum-
mer, Yellowstone National Park
rangers have cited a tourist for ille-
gally flying a drone in the park.
Park officials said Friday that
Donald Criswell of Molalla, Oregon,
flew an unmanned aircraft over
Midway Geyser Basin and near bison
on Aug. 19.
In early August, rangers charged
Theodorus Van Vliet of the
Netherlands after his drone allegedly
crashed into Grand Prismatic Spring.
Andreas Meissner of Germany is
accused of flying a drone that crashed
into Yellowstone Lake on July 17. He
was charged earlier this week.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide
reports Grand Teton National Park
has had at least one drone citation.
Rangers say a man crashed a drone
into a tree in late June, possibly
while trying to get aerial photos of
wildlife.
Community service eyed
for Brooklyn Bridge stunt
NEW YORK A judge is suggest-
ing a Russian tourist who climbed
the Brooklyn Bridge be sentenced to
community service like cleaning a
bridge.
Yaroslav Kolchin was arrested
Sunday after he climbed to the top of
the bridge to take pictures. He was
charged with reckless endangerment,
trespassing and disorderly conduct.
The Daily News reports a judge said
Friday she wasnt condoning
Kolchins actions but didnt think
they were malicious.
Prosecutors are seeking a guilty
plea to trespassing and a 90-day jail
sentence.
Judge ShawnDya Simpson suggests
a bunch of community service
instead.
Defense lawyer Rovshan Sharifov
says hell talk with prosecutors to
bridge their differences.
The case will be called again Sept.

After removing two controversial facets
of an ordinance aimed at protecting the pub-
lic from secondhand smoke, the Foster City
Council will reconvene Tuesday night to
discuss regulations for restaurants and
multi-unit residential buildings.
Before passing a new ordinance July 21,
the council set aside decisions on smoking
in outdoor restaurant seating areas and
whether to ban smoking in apartments,
condos or townhomes.
After more than a year of debate, the new
ordinance took affect Sept. 1 and prohibits
smoking on city-owned property such as
parks and streets, at public events and with-
in a 50-foot-buffer zone from entrances to
commercial spaces. The regulation allows
single-family home owners to smoke on
their properties.
We are going to protect our children and
our families from random exposure to smok-
ing. So a mobile person with a cigarette
walking around haphazardly, to the detri-
ment to everyone, we have precluded them
from smoking, Councilman Herb Perez
said. I think the bigger message for smok-
ers is your days are numbered. Get anoth-
er habit.
On Tuesday night, the council will discuss
further amending its new ordinance.
Private versus shared
residential properties
For councilmembers, protecting against
secondhand smoke is a priority, but some
are concerned with regulating what people
do in their homes and whether those who
own or rent should be treated differently.
I just personally think theres a limit to
what government should be regulating,
Councilman Gary Pollard said. At what
point do we draw the line? People have to
take care of themselves and they have to
make smart decisions. Government cant
protect people all the time.
Throughout hearings, Mayor Charlie
Bronitsky and councilmen Pollard and Art
Kiesel have leaned toward prohibiting
smoking in rental apartments but not in pri-
vately owned properties.
Despite the fact that those who live in
apartments, condominiums or townhomes
share walls and common areas, renters and
owners could be treated differently.
Perez said whether one rents or is able to
afford a home in a multi-unit dwelling,
smokers shouldnt infringe on their neigh-
bors.
Smoking in multi-unit dwellings should
be illegal and it should be no different
between a renter and an owner because thats
part of your contract. Youve entered into a
contract where youre part of a community,
Perez said.
Councilman Steve Okamoto said he
prefers smoking be banned in all shared
homes and at minimum in rental units.
But what I think were going to be com-
fortable doing is any rental unit and if an
owner of a condo or townhouse rents or leas-
es the property and theyre not living there,
than that rental agreement should include no
smoking [provisions], Okamoto said.
Foster City is not alone in its efforts to
ban smoking in shared residential units.
According to a city staff report, 26 cities
and counties ban smoking in shared residen-
tial units, including condominiums and
townhomes, and 12 cities and counties pro-
hibit smoking in apartments only.
Eating and smoking outdoors
Waterfront Pizza, a long-standing
Mediterranean restaurant and hookah bar, is
Foster Citys only establishment currently
using the citys provision to allow smok-
ing in up to 50 percent of outdoor seating
areas.
The restaurants owner previously said
they recently invested nearly $400,000 to
expand and remodel, have a long-term lease
and their business relies heavily on the
ability to serve hookah.
To appease the city, Waterfront Pizza has
offered to install fans and air curtains, rail-
ing on either side of its dining area to better
dene the restaurant and place additional
signs warning hookah smoking is allowed
on the premise, according to the report.
In my opinion, they have put forward a
proposal that has both signage and barriers
so people can make a choice whether to go
into that area; so its not to the detriment of
everyone. And thats consistent with our
policy, Perez said.
Initially, the council proposed grandfa-
thering in Waterfront Pizza, but according
to the staff report, it has since received a
request from a new nearby Edgewater Place
Shopping Center restaurant owner. The
owner of Le Burgeon expressed interest in
allowing smoking in part of its outdoor
seating as well, according to the report.
Perez said Le Burgeon occupies a corner
lot and is more isolated than Waterfront
Pizza. When the council creates policies,
they apply equally, Perez said.

Bicyclist robs man at gunpoint
A man was robbed at gunpoint in South
San Francisco early Monday morning,
police said.
The robbery was reported at 1:26 a.m. in
the 1000 block of Mission Road, where the
49-year-old victim was approached by a
suspect who pointed a black semi-automat-
ic handgun at him and demanded his wallet
and cellphone, according to police.
The victim handed over the items to the
suspect, who rode away on a black bicycle.
He is described as a Hispanic man around
20 years old who had short hair, was clean-
shaven with a light complexion and wore
dark clothes, police said.
The victim was not injured in the robbery
and the suspect remains at large Monday
morning. Anyone with information about
the case is asked to call South San
Francisco police at (650) 877-8900 or an
anonymous tip line at (650) 952-2244.
More than a dozen arrests,
citations in weekend DUI checkpoint
More than a dozen people were arrested
or cited in a DUI checkpoint held over the
weekend in Burlingame, police said.
The checkpoint was held between 6 p.m.
Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday in the 400
block of California Drive, where officers
screened 744 vehicles.
The operation netted three arrests for
people driving under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs Gary Vangiersbergen, 67,
of Pacifica, Jesus Barajas, 20, of Millbrae,
and Christopher Bucks, 29, of Millbrae,
according to police.
Alejandro Diaz, 38, of Oakland, was
arrested on suspicion of felony possession
of narcotics and drug paraphernalia, police
said.
Officers also cited or arrested 12 drivers
for operating a vehicle while unlicensed or
with a suspended or revoked license.
The checkpoint was funded by a grant
from the California Office of Traffic Safety
through the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
Bicyclists collide,
shut down Highway 84
Two bicyclists were hospitalized after
colliding with each other near state
Highway 84 in Woodside Monday morn-
ing, shutting down the highway for more
than two hours, according to San Mateo
County sheriffs officials.
The crash was reported at 10:48 a.m. near
Highway 84 at Friars Lane, sheriffs
spokeswoman Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt
said.
The bicyclists, a man and woman in their
50s, were taken to a hospital and are
going to be OK Rosenblatt said.
The investigation into the crash shut
down Highway 84 in both directions in the
area until about 1:20 p.m., when sheriffs
officials said the road reopened.
Police issue 61
citations on three city streets
Police in South San Francisco issued 61
citations Friday during a saturation patrol
of three city streets plagued by speeding
and many injury and fatal accidents, the
police department reported.
The department flooded Sister Cities,
Hillside and Westborough boulevards,
where a significant number of collisions
have occurred recently, with specially
trained officers targeting speeders, police
said.
The officers used high-tech Lidar devices
equipped with infrared lasers to measure the
speeds and distances of passing motorists,
according to police.
Police issued 61 citations over the one-
day saturation patrol, mostly for speed vio-
lations but one unlicensed driver and one
person driving with a suspended license
were cited and their cars confiscated, offi-
cers said.
The goal of the patrols is to get drivers to
slow down and other saturation patrols will
be conducted in the city for the remainder
of this and next year, police said.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco will
soon become the first city to enact a
California law giving owners who turn
empty lots into gardens the chance to get a
tax break.
The measure lets cities and towns lower
the assessed value and therefore the prop-
erty taxes on parcels of land if owners
dedicate them to growing food for at least
ve years. Among its aims is reducing urban
blight.
San Francisco will be the rst to put the
state law into effect beginning Sept. 8
because the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors already approved a local ordi-
nance. Other cities, including Fresno and
Sacramento, are watching how the law plays
out.

residents who would like to have the oppor-
tunity to farm, but the waiting lists for a lot
of our community gardens are over two years
long, said Supervisor David Chiu, who
wrote the local legislation. There is sim-
ply not enough space.
Alot must be at least one-tenth of an acre,
no larger than three acres and have no per-
manent structures to qualify for the tax
break. The property would be reassessed at
the average price for irrigated farmland in
California.
San Franciscos ordinance limits individ-
ual property owners tax savings to
$25,000 per year. Anything higher requires
an ofcial review.
Aaron Roland expects the annual $6,000
tax bill on his double lot-turned-demonstra-
tion garden to drop signicantly.
Roland said he gets offers to buy the prop-
erty but wants to hold on to it for his chil-
dren. He also likes the garden.
Its this marvelous garden in the middle
of the city thats growing food, he said.
Hopefully there are other people like me
that eventually might want to do some
development on their land but arent in a big
rush, and meanwhile want to let it be used
for this kind of public purpose.

Birds on old Bay
Bridge pose challenge
SAN FRANCISCO Crews
demolishing the old eastern span of
the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge have run into an unusual chal-
lenge: birds that wont leave.
The California Department of
Transportation says cormorants that
call the defunct bridge home have
not gone away despite encourage-
ment from workers. So the agency is
switching to a new tactic that
attempts to attract the dark-colored
birds to other areas.
Caltrans spokeswoman Leah
Robinson-Leach tells KCBS the
attraction strategy is part of a con-
tract that is currently out for bid.
The birds have not delayed the
demolition so far, but Robinson-
Leach says that will change if they
are not gone by the end of the year.
The work is expected to be complet-
ed in 2018.
Minor quake hits near Gilroy
GILROY The U.S. Geological

quake in Northern California.
The magnitude-3.5 quake struck
around 9:10 a.m. Monday about six
miles southeast of Gilroy. Gilroy is
about 30 miles south of San Jose.
A Gilroy police dispatcher says
she felt a jolt from the quake, but had

Ten Sequoia Union High School
District students are seeing what its
like this week to live with very little,
while helping install a water puri-
cation system for those less fortu-
nate than them.
The students, seniors part of
Woodside High Schools Green
Academy and Redwood High
Schools REAL (Redwoods
Environmental Academy of
Leadership) cohorts, will travel to
Redwood Citys sister city, Ciudad
Guzman in Mexicos state of Jalisco
during Labor Day week. The
Peninsula Sunrise Rotary
Foundation program H2OpenDoors
is donating the SunSpring water
purication system, which will ulti-
mately benet a district of 4,000 of
the poorest citizens who receive
water from a highly chlorinated and
undrinkable city water system.
The four students and teacher
from Redwood High and the six stu-
dents and teacher from Woodside
High said they were looking for-
ward to being exposed to a new cul-
ture. The students started fundrais-
ing last year for the trip and raised
about $5,000 through car washes,
bake sales, family friends, door-to-
door solicitations and other events.
For some, its their rst time on a
plane. Others will be leaving the
United States for the rst time.
Ive never been out of the coun-
try, said Woodside student Keely
Camp. Its a great opportunity.
Water is a big issue.
This population center currently
spends 10 pesos per liter on bottled
water each day. That is about 77
cents, or more than $1 million per
year, on bottled water. This should
be alleviated with the SunSpring,
which can purify more than 20,000
liters per day from virtually any
contaminated water source, accord-
ing to Jon Kaufman, the director of
the project, who is going on the trip.
Kaufman has taken other students
on a similar trips to install purica-
tion systems in the past, including a
trip to Northern Thailand.
It was transformative, he said.
One student asked, Im thirsty, is
there a drinking fountain? There
was a pond infested with E. coli
(from which to drink). Theyll be
meeting their peers over there and
painting a mural with the theme of
water education. I hope they come
back seeing the world is bigger than
what they think.
SunSprings are solar- and wind-
powered water purication plants
that require no electricity or fuel,
and remove all bacteria, viruses and
other contaminants using mem-
brane technology. With a design life
of over 10 years, they require only
one hour of downtime for simple
maintenance procedures each
month. Manufactured in Rocky
Ford, Colorado, by Innovative
Water Technologies, the systems are
up and running within three hours.
Following the installation, the
students will tour the city govern-
ment, including the metropolitan
water company facilities which
serve more than 110,000 residents.
Mayor Jose Luis Orozco Aldana
will hold a water party to celebrate
the installation.
During the nal three days in
Mexico, the students will travel to

plex headed by former Mexican
president Vicente Fox.

world needs to grow global citizens,
people of high character who care
about the poorest among us.
Woodside student David Bejar
noted that even though the United
States and Mexico share a border,
there is a huge barrier between the
two countries.
We just see a bunch of poverty
and can see they have a completely
different lifestyle over there, he
said. We (the U.S. and Mexico)
dont really have a great relation-
ship in my opinion. To go and see
their perspective is a great learning

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. One set of
elections ends in early November as
another begins when presidential
hopefuls cross the unofficial starting
line in the 2016 race for the White
House.
With control of the Senate at stake,
the months leading up to the mid-
term elections offer a clearer window
on a crowd of potential presidential
candidates already jockeying for
position from Nevada to New
Hampshire. Their cross-country tour-
ing will intensify this fall under the
gaze of voters who will pick their
parties nominees.
Look for the would-be contenders
to road-test rhetoric, expand coali-
tions, and consider their own politi-
cal flaws-while keeping close watch
on each other.
Democrats want Hillary Rodham
Clinton to carry their flag; the
Republican field remains crowded,
and wide open.
The presidential jousting will be
most apparent in states like New
Hampshire, home to the first-in-the-
nation presidential primary and the
site of closely-watched races for
governor, Senate and the House.
Whichever party controls the
Senate after the November 4 ballot-
ing-Republicans need a six-seat gain
to win the majority-will say much
about what President Barack Obama
can accomplish in the final two years
of his presidency and the tone of the
race to succeed him.
The end of the 2014 general elec-
tion does, in a sense, commence a
beginning of the presidential pri-
mary phase, says New Hampshire
Republican operative Rich Killion.
But an informal, unofficial opening
to the process already is underway.
Presidential hopefuls jockey even
before congressional elections
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON:
The former secretary of states every word will be
parsed for her future plans. But Clinton has been
offering plenty of hints that shes preparing for
another campaign.
Her biggest splash could come in Iowa,where shell
join her husband at Sen.Tom Harkins annual steak
fry fundraiser in Indianola on Sept. 14. The event is
billed as a tribute to Harkin, but will generate wide
interest as Clintons rst visit to Iowa since losing the
2008 caucuses.
Clinton has limited her campaign activity since
leaving the State Department, but this fall should
give voters a more concrete look at how she might
present her candidacy.Her allies are wary of a third
Obama term label, so Clintons speeches and
appearances offer a chance to distinguish herself
from the president.
She will raise money for Democrats four major
campaigncommitteesandcouldhelpseveral Senate
campaigns where Obama remains a liability.
JOE BIDEN:
Vice President Joe Biden has not ruled out a third
presidential bidandexpectstobeanactivesurrogate
for Democrats this fall. Whether hed challenge
Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination
remains the big question.
Biden headlined high-prole meetings with young
voters,liberalsandAfrican-Americans.Hesalsoraised
money for congressional candidates in Nevada and
incumbent governors in Connecticut and Illinois.
Biden is expected to visit New Hampshire,where he
maintains ties to party activists,and Iowa,where Rep.
Bruce Braley faces Joni Ernst in one of the top Senate
battlegrounds.
OTHER DEMOCRATS:
Several Democrats are building for a national
campaignincaseClintondoesntrun- orconsidering
a longshot challenge.
Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley has been the most
active,raisingmoneyforcandidatesinIowaandNew
Hampshire and traveling to states with active mid-
term contests.
Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb recently traveled to
Iowa.Vermont Sen.Bernie Sanders,an independent
who caucuses with Democrats, plans to visit the
Hawkeye State in mid-September. Massachusetts
Sen.ElizabethWarrenhasdeniedinterestintheWhite
House but would face pressure to run if Clinton
doesnt.
JEB BUSH
More than seven years out of ofce, former Florida
Gov.JebBushhasbeenquieterthansomeof hisGOP
colleagues as he focuses on his private business
dealings.
He recently said hed begin a more aggressive
schedule to help Republicans this fall. Hes set to
headline a Florida fundraiser in late September to
benet top Republican Senate candidates, a group
expected to include Cory Gardner in Colorado,Ernst
in Iowa, Monica Wehby in Oregon and Tom Cotton
in Arkansas.
RAND PAUL
Kentucky Sen.Rand Paul has been perhaps the most
aggressive prospective candidate.
The ophthalmologist recently squeezed in a mission
to perform eye surgeries in Guatemala-and invited
newsorganizationstocoverit-betweenstopsinIowa
and South Carolina. Hes conrmed September
appearances in California and Virginia,and October
visits to North Carolina and New Hampshire,among
dozens more possible stops.
The libertarian-leaning Paul,the son of former Texas
Rep. Ron Paul, is trying to build on the small but
passionate coalition assembled by his father. The
elder Paul wasnt taken seriously by many
Republicans,butRandPaul hasemergedasaleading
GOP voice on foreign and domestic policy.
CHRIS CHRISTIE
Working to move past a bridge-clogging scandal
that shadowed his plans, New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie continues an aggressive travel schedule this
fall as chairman of the Republican Governors
Association.
Having already visited New Hampshire, hes
announced a trip to South Carolina,where hell have
a chance to test his message with more conservative
voters. Hes also planning trips to Ohio, Wisconsin
and Florida.
Christie leads a delegation of New Jersey business
and political leaders to Mexico in early September,a
trip that gives him a chance to bolster his appeal
with Latino voters and burnish his foreign policy
chops. And at home, Christie will unveil a budget
plan that is sure to draw fury from Democrats and
union leaders.
RICK PERRY

MILWAUKEE President Barack Obama
renewed his push for Congress to raise the
minimum wage Monday in a buoyant
accounting of the economys revving
performance, delivered on behalf of
Democrats opening their fall campaigns for
the midterm congressional elections.
America deserves a raise, he told a
union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep
a hard sell on Congress in much the way he
once courted his wife. I just wore her
down, he cracked.
Timing his push to Labor Day, the tradi-
tional start of the autumn campaign, Obama
aggressively drew attention to recent eco-
nomic gains, setting aside past caution on
that subject.
By almost every measure the American
economy and American workers are better
off than when I took ofce, he said, rat-
tling off a string of improving economic
indicators even while acknowledging not
all people are beneting. The engines, he
said, are revving a little louder.
It was, at least indirectly, a pep talk for
Democrats facing tough races in a nation
still gripped with economic anxieties.
The emphasis on the minimum wage is
designed to draw campaign contrasts with
Republicans, many of whom maintain that
an increase would hurt small businesses and
slow down hiring. No one expects
Congress to act on it before the November
elections.
Despite the absence of a federal increase,
13 states raised their minimum wages at the
beginning of this year. Those states have
added jobs at a faster pace than those that
did not raise the wage, providing a counter-
point to a Congressional Budget Office
report earlier this year that projected that a
higher minimum wage of $10.10 an hour
could cost the nation 500,000 jobs.
Until now, Obama and his White House
aides had been reluctant to draw too much
attention to positive economic trends, wor-
ried that some may prove illusory or that,
even if they hold, many working Americans
continue to live on the edge of poverty and
take no comfort in the upswing.
But in Milwaukee, Obama dared to say of
the job picture, Were on a streak.
White House aides still insist they are not
declaring full victory over the lingering
effects of a recession that ended ve years
ago.
But White House ofcials believe it is
time to highlight recent improvements, in
part to strengthen a difcult political envi-
ronment for Democrats and to counter pub-
lic perceptions that are eroding the presi-
dents public approval. Officials say
Obamas most compelling case is to com-
pare the economy now to what he inherited
in 2009 in the aftermath of a near Wall
Street meltdown.
Obama, whose public approval is at about
40 percent, has also been cautious about
making appearances in states with close
midterm political contests and where his
popularity might be even lower.
But in coming to Wisconsin, he brought
his Labor Day message to the state that was
the epicenter of a ght over the collective
bargaining rights of public employees.
Labor Secretary Tom Perez and several
national labor leaders came with him.
In Wisconsin, Republican Gov. Scott
Walker, who pushed through a law that
stripped most public sector union members
of their ability to collectively bargain, is
now in a tight re-election campaign and has
been mentioned as a potential GOP presi-
dential candidate in 2016. Polls nd that
Walker and Democrat Mary Burke are dead-
locked with the election just over two
months away.
Walker was at General Mitchell
International Airport to greet Obama upon
his arrival in Milwaukee. Walker also greet-
ed the labor leaders accompanying Obama,
including Mary Kay Henry of the Services
Employees International Union and Leo
Gerard of the United Steelworkers Union.
The White House is encouraging
Democrats to draw attention to the recovery
as they head into the November mid-term
elections.
In an August memo to House and Senate
Democrats, Obamas top two economic
advisers underscored the positive news:
more than 200,000 jobs created per month
for six consecutive months, a six-year high
in auto sales, second-quarter economic
growth that exceeded expectations and an
expanding manufacturing sector.
The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 per-
cent, dropping 1.1 points over the past
year, and the stock market has nearly tripled
in ve years.
Even so, there is still signicant weak-
ness in the labor market, underscored by the
long-term unemployed. Labor participation
has dropped. As well, real hourly wages fell
from the rst half of 2013 to the rst half of
2014 for all income groups, except for a 2-
cent increase for the lowest income level,
according to the liberal Economic Policy
Institute.

WASHINGTON A surly electorate that
holds Congress in even lower regard than
unpopular President Barack Obama is willing
to keep the bums in, with at least 365
incumbents in the 435-member House and 18
of 28 senators on a glide path to another term
when ballots are counted Nov. 4.
With less than 10 weeks to the elections,
Republicans and Democrats who assess this
falls midterm contests say the power of
incumbency the decennial process of
reconguring congressional maps and hefty
fundraising trumps the sour public mood
and antipathy toward gridlocked Washington.
Despite the incredibly low polling, favor-
able ratings for Congress, its still an incum-
bents world, said Sheila Krumholz, execu-
tive director of the nonpartisan Center for
Responsive Politics that tracks political
money.
That leaves many voters angry, not only
with the political reality but their inability to
change it.
I cant get over where they say people are
going to be able to keep their seats when
theyre not doing their jobs. I just dont
understand it, said retired teacher Pauline
Legendre after voting in Minnesotas
Democratic primary last month.
The voter disgust is palpable, evident in
blistering comments at summertime town
halls and middling percentages for incum-
bents in primaries. Yet no sitting senator has
lost and only three congressmen got the pri-
mary boot. Come Election Day, only a frac-
tion of the electorate will be motivated
enough to vote if history is any guide.
Congressional hopefuls are whipsawed by
the two dynamics.
Its going to be a challenge for any candi-
date running for Congress to suggest that
they have all the answers or that somehow
theres something about them thats so
inspiring that voters are going to forget
how disenchanted or disaffected they are with
government at the federal level, said Ryan
Costello, a Republican seeking an open
House seat in southeast Pennsylvania where
just 12 percent of GOPvoters turned out in the
May primary.
Still, the candidates press ahead, with
Republicans laser-focused on gaining the six
seats necessary to grab the Senate majority
and control Congress for the remainder of
Obamas presidency. Five Democratic retire-
ments give the GOP a clear shot to capture
control. So do races in conservative-leaning
states such as Louisiana, North Carolina and
Arkansas, where white Southern Democrats
are nearly extinct.
The GOP gures its half-way to its goal,
with a solid advantage in open contests in
South Dakota, West Virginia and Montana.
Republicans are optimistic about the open
seat in Iowa, less so about Michigan, and
energized by their prospects in Colorado and
Alaska. If a GOPwave materializes, it could be
in the Senate.
In the House, Republicans are expected to
pad their majority currently 233-199 with
three vacancies with the goal of matching
or surpassing the 246 seats the GOPheld from
1947-49.
Fueling the battle is whats expected to be a
record-breaking ow of campaign cash. The
parties campaign committees and their allied
outside groups are spending at a rate certain to
exceed the $3.6 billion price tag of the 2010
midterm elections.
Surly 2014 electorate seem
poised to keep the bums in
Despite the
incredibly low polling,
favorable ratings for Congress,
its still an incumbents world.

BAGHDAD Iraqs outgoing prime
minster pledged Monday to turn his
country into a big grave for Sunni
militants from the Islamic State group
and commended security forces who
achieved a rare victory over insurgents
by ending the siege of a Shiite town.
Nouri al-Maliki made the comments
during an unannounced visit to the
northern community of Amirli, where
he was greeted with hugs. Aday earlier,
Iraqi forces backed by Iran-allied Shiite
militias and U.S. airstrikes broke a
two-month siege of the town where
some 15,000 Shiite Turkmens had been
stranded.
In footage aired on state TV, al-
Maliki was shown sitting at a wooden
desk in front of a large poster of Shiite
leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistsani,
ordering promotions and awards for
those who fought in the battle.
I salute you for your steadfastness
and patience against those beasts and
killers, he told a gathering of ghters
in a large hall as they chanted Shiite
religious slogans. He vowed to root out
Sunni militants from areas they control
in the country.
All Iraq will be a grave for those
indels, and we will send all the IS
(Islamic State) gang to death, he
added.
Hours before the visit, humanitarian
aid began owing to the town.
Four trucks loaded with food and med-
icine arrived after being sent by the
Iraqi government and the Iraqi Red
Crescent, according to Ali al-Bayati,
who heads the aid organization called
the Turkmen Saving Foundation.
Soldiers began bringing food to fami-
lies in their houses Sunday night.
The situation is getting back to nor-
mal, but gradually, al-Bayati told the
Associated Press. Some people have
come out from their houses and walked
in the street. Shops are still closed, but
people are happy to see their city
secured by Iraqi security forces.
Shiite Turkmen lawmaker Fawzi
Akram al-Tarzi said the U.S. airstrikes
and Iranian support for Iraqi forces
have played a positive role in defeat-
ing the terrorists, although he said the
airstrikes came late in the battle.
On Monday, Iraqi security forces and
Shiite militiamen retook the nearby
town of Suleiman Beg following erce
clashes with Sunni militants, Al-Tarzi
said.
The brave people of Amirli have
made their town a new Stalingrad, he
added, referring to the former name of

Iraqi prime minister pledges to root out militants
U.N. backs inquiry of Islamic
State groups alleged crimes
By John Heilprin
GENEVA The U.N.s top human rights body on Monday
overwhelmingly approved the Iraqi governments request
for an investigation into alleged crimes against civilians
committed by the Islamic State group in its rampage across
northeastern Syria and parts of Iraq.
Diplomats agreed by unanimous consent to approve a
nearly $1.2 million U.N. fact-nding mission at a daylong
special session of the 47-nation Human Rights Council
about Iraq and the extremist group.
Iraqs request for the U.N. to investigate alleged abuses by
the IS was included in a resolution that more broadly con-
demns the groups severe tactics but also calls on Iraqs
government to protect human rights.
Its aim is to provide the Geneva-based council with a
report and evidence next March that could shed further light
on Iraqi atrocities and be used as part of any international
war crimes prosecution.
The session Monday focused on the threat posed by the
militants, who have seized cities, towns and vast tracts of
land and carried out a number of massacres and beheadings.

Belmont schools and tutoring
Editor,
The Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District has been
seeking voter support for a $48 mil-
lion bond issue. The district main-
tains our schools require additional
classrooms, science labs and updated
classroom technology to address
school overcrowding and to protect
high-quality education.
However, why hasnt the district
adopted a virtually free program to
improve student performances
through volunteer tutoring? Avolun-
teer tutoring program works. As a
volunteer tutor at Central Middle
School in San Carlos in my third
year, I often wonder why Belmont is
not a part of the Healthy Cities
Tutoring Program. At a San Carlos
City Council meeting in June, the
mayor congratulated the 235 volun-
teer Healthy City tutors who work
with 265 students.
When I asked the executive director
of the Healthy Cities program why
the Belmont school district was not
part of the program, she stated that
the school district never asked to take
part.
In early June, at a Belmont city
meeting, I approached a Belmont
councilmember and asked how to
encourage the school district to adopt
a volunteer tutoring program. The
councilman referred me to the princi-
pal of a Belmont middle school. I
called and left a voicemail requesting
an interview with him, and he never
returned my call.
The proceeds from a $48 million
bond issue could do wonders for the
education of our students. So would a
volunteer tutoring program that sup-
plements the high-quality education
of our Belmont students.

What Harbor
District dysfunction?
Editor,
I served on the Harbor Districts
board of commissioners for seven
months in 2012. During this time, all
of the commissioners, as well as the
staff, worked well together. I was
reappointed June 5, 2013. Four of the
ve commissioners, as well as the
staff, continue to work well together.
The word dysfunctional is one that
has only been used in relation to the
Harbor District since Sabrina Brennan
took ofce in 2013.
The so-called dysfunction has
occurred because Brennan nds it dif-
cult to transition from being a citi-
zen activist and protester (coming out
of the Occupy America movement) to
being one member of a governing
body. For Brennan to make this tran-
sition, she needs to learn how to
work collaboratively with others,
even when there is disagreement.
While her abrasive approach may
have been effective in getting her
elected, it is unworkable as a style of
governance. She had a similar experi-
ence when she was appointed to the
Midcoast Community Council two
years before; causing her to not seek
re-election in what would otherwise
have been an uncontested race.
There is a difference between being
a progressive Democrat protesting
from the outside and being an elect-
ed representative serving on a public
body. The San Francisco Board of
Supervisors and the Berkeley City
Council are good examples. If, and
when, Sabrina Brennan learns to
work with others in a more appropri-
ate way, the dysfunctional label that
followed her to the Harbor District
will fade away.

TSA assistance
Editor,
In her Aug. 28 column, Michele
Durand makes many good and inter-
esting points about the obvious
problems TSAis facing trying to
keep away persistent security violator
Marilyn Hartman from boarding
planes without valid tickets.
Ms. Hartman has earned her creden-
tials to become a highly paid security
advisor to TSA.
Allowing her access and ying
privileges to every airport in the
United States to discover weakness
would be a win-win solution for all.
In two or three years, after serving
her country, she could retire with a
full pension and paid health insur-
ance. It would be money well spent
instead of incarcerating and drugging
her.

Viva Mexico, Gov. Jerry Brown
Editor,
California Gov. Jerry Brown and
President Obama should jointly pro-
pose a new law that gives sovereign
authority over California back to the
country of Mexico and be done with
i t .
Not surprisingly, many Democrats
would actually vote for that law. The
Democrats selsh power-hungry
strategy to win future federal/state
elections by giving as much free U.S.
taxpayer-paid benets as possible to
illegal Mexicans (education, health
care, college money, drivers licens-
es, etc.) and not enforce border securi-
ty so that Hispanics vote Democrat is
essentially the same thing. At
Browns recent ceremony praising
Mexican President Nieto, Nieto said
California is the other Mexico;
Brown turned to illegals and said it
doesnt matter [that] you dont have
permission to be here with
Mexicans chanting Viva Mexico,
Viva Mexico at him while waiving
the Mexican ag. Nieto said free
California-paid college money and
drivers licenses for Mexicans sent a
very clear message to the U.S. and the
entire world that Mexicos recon-
quest of California has occurred. Way
to go Democrats.

Meteors are serious business
Editor,
This is open letter to county of-
cials regarding sea level rise plan-
ning. You need to put more emphasis
on planning for the expected devas-
tating meteor strike which will cause
an un-surfable tidal wave if the meteor
strikes the ocean. The tsunami direc-
tion signs along Highway 1 that are
unreadable unless you park your auto-
mobile within 15 feet of them will be
swallowed in a nanosecond. Did some
benefactor pay for those ridiculous
signs or did our tax payments cover
the bill?
If it strikes land, the debris eld
will extinguish sunlight, and thus
solar power, as well as your big gov-
ernment. Professional government
ofcials, elected and appointed, will
be in dire straits. Asignicant meteor
strike is a real emergency compared
to the momentary sea level rise that
follows the meteor strike.
Please dont hide under your desks
in Cold War fashion like when you
were just kiddies; address the coming
meteor strike.
Oh yes, dont forget to make plans
for the next Yellowstone eruption.

Following suit
T
he clothes may make the man, but they also
make the news. Look no further than the recent
buzz around the fact that President Barack
Obama wore gasp a tan suit. Forget Ukraine.
Forget Iraq. Things are getting real back home when
the commander-in-chief dare stray from his traditional
black and navy ensembles.
Today, this Tuesday after Labor Day, is a fitting time
to talk about fashion. Etiquette for reasons that escape
most dictates that we put away the white shoes until
next Memorial Day and pity on the folks who dont
get that memo.
But Obama did not wear white shoes or even a bit of
eyebrow-raising seer-
sucker. Instead, during
a very serious press
briefing last week he
lightened up his regu-
lar somber look with a
more summery color.
Nobody remembers
what Obama talked
about because all any-
body else talked about
was what he wore.
Call the briefing a
insert snicker pres-
idential a-dress.
What shade was it
really? Tan? Beige?
Brown? Khaki? Dark
sand or even clay? Many pundits are going with the
oddly spelled and pronounced taupe in the myriad news
stories calling into question why exactly Obama is
shaking up his wardrobe and also analyzing the suit
color choices of presidents past. Side note: I fear the
day Im assigned to parse out the fashion choices of
Peninsula mayors present and past. Call the notion
ridiculous but remember that very squarely here in
reality educated people have given up understanding
ISIS and ISIL so they can figure out the presidential
color palette.
Id nod in agreement if Obama opted for, say, a zoot
suit. Or top hat and tails. Heck, the avalanche of com-
mentary would make sense if he stole Mark
Zuckerbergs hoodie look or had gone off the deep end
and opted for no pants at all. That in itself would be
newsworthy. This just shows that to a grand majority,
presidential fashion is more widely appealing than
how the president fashions policy.
Unfortunately, head member of the fashion police
Joan Rivers is currently out of commission so cant
chime in on the political and pop culture ramifications
of Suit-gate. But everybody else is pretty chatty.
One social media analytic firm noted more than
13,800 tweets on that single subject in a 24-hour
period following the Thursday appearance. Admittedly,
some of the hashtags and comments are worth at least
a smile, The audacity of taupe and Yes we tan
among them. The suit even merited a few spoof Twitter
accounts of its own.
Thanks to the public fascination and coverage of
both the suit and the suits coverage, the public has
also been privy to important information such as the
fact that Obama also wore tan on Easter. Obama is in
good company. Seems tan and brown fans include for-
mer presidents Bush One and Two, Bill Clinton,
Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower. FDR favored
white. Who knew? Maybe now we can formulate a
spreadsheet documenting pinstripes.
Dissection of political wardrobes isnt particularly
new but is usually reserved from the female contingent
or first lady. Jackie Kennedys pillbox hats. Barbara
Bushs ever-present string of pearls. Michelle
Obamas enviable guns in sleeveless shifts. Hillary
Clintons headbands and later her power pantsuits.
The closest scrutiny most male politicians ever
received was the grilling of Clinton over boxers or
briefs. Guess Obama should count himself lucky
nobody is inquiring what came between him and those
now infamous tan slacks. Of course, dont be surprised
when thats the next question being fashioned.

BUSINESS 10
Exp. 9/15/14
LONDON Ahead of a raft of economic
developments this week, nancial markets
started the week on a lackluster note
Monday as Wall Street was closed for the
Labor Day holiday.
KEEPING SCORE:
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading
British shares closed up 0.1 percent at
6,825.31 while Germanys DAX rose the
same rate to 9,479.03. The CAC-40 in
France ended a tad lower at 4,379.73.
Earlier in Asia, Chinas Shanghai
Composite rose 0.8 percent to 2,235.51
points and Tokyos Nikkei 225 added 0.3
percent to 15,476.60. Hong Kongs Hang
Seng was marginally higher, adding 0.04
percent to 24,752.09.
UKRAINE:
In Europe, the crisis in Ukraine remains
a key source of interest for traders. On
Monday, there were signs that a break-
through may be in the offing as pro-
Russian rebels appeared to soften their
demand for full independence, saying they
would respect Ukraines sovereignty in
exchange for autonomy. The insurgents
platform, released at the start of
Mondays negotiations in Minsk, the
Belarusian capital, represented a signifi-
cant change in their vision for the future
of Ukraines eastern, mainly Russian-
speaking region.
GLOBAL MANUFACTURING:
There were some worrying signs howev-
er that the global manufacturing sector is
waning. Two surveys showed Chinas
manufacturing growth slowed in August as
export demand and investment weakened,
raising expectations Beijing might
launch more stimulus. HSBC Corp. said its
purchasing manufacturers index fell to
50.2 from Julys 18-month high of 51.7
on a 100-point scale on which numbers
above 50 show an expansion. An official
industry group, the China Federation of
Logistics and Purchasing, said its separate
PMI declined to 51.1 from 51.7. Asimilar
picture emerged for the 18-country euro-
zone, with the August PMI from financial
information company Markit down at a
13-month low of 50.7. On Tuesday, the
Institute for Supply Management publish-
es its estimate for the U.S. economy.
EUROPE:
Whether the weak economic indicators
coming out of the eurozone will prompt
the European Central Bank to enact further
stimulus measures at its monthly policy
meeting on Thursday remains open to
question. Bank chief Mario Draghi called
in a speech last month for fiscal policies
to support growth, a departure from the
ECBs implicit support for austerity. No
immediate steps are expected but the bank
has begun work on a program to buy asset-
backed securities.
EURO IN RETREAT:
The crisis in Ukraine and weak eurozone
economic data have combined to hurt the
euro currency over the past few months. On
Monday, it fell to a near year-low of
$1. 3119.
U.S. ECONOMY:
After Thursdays ECB meeting, traders
will be fully focusing on the U.S. nonfarm
payrolls report for August. The release
often setts the market tone for a week or
two after its release as traders try and work
out when the Federal Reserve will start rais-
ing interest rates. Investor condence over
the U.S. economy has risen following sev-
eral months of strong growth in hiring and
corporate prots and a series of major cor-
porate acquisitions.
ENERGY MARKETS:
U.S. benchmark crude for October was
down 25 cents at $95.71 in electronic trad-
ing on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Markets drift as Wall Street has day off
By Emery P. Dalesio
RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina busi-
ness recruiters offered Toyota more than
$100 million in incentives for the worlds
largest carmaker to move its North
American headquarters to Charlotte rather
than a Dallas suburb, but still lost out to a
Texas offer half that size.
Only about a quarter of the nearly 3,000
jobs paying an average of $105,000 a year
were expected to move from Southern
California, meaning a golden but missed
job-creating opportunity for the region,
according to North Carolina recruiting docu-
ments and emails released to The Associated
Press last week in response to a public
records request.
State law requires the release of recruiting
documents after a company has announced a
decision on its preferred location, which
Toyota did four months ago. Since Gov. Pat
McCrory took ofce last year, state agen-
cies often take many months to comply.
North Carolinas offer had to be signi-
cantly larger than Texas to be competitive
because the Lone Star State has no corporate
or income tax, Commerce Secretary Sharon
Decker said in an interview last week.
Companies on the move compare the total
cost of its new site and the total nancial
package offered to coax them, Decker said.
Incentives were just one of many consid-
erations Toyota considered including geog-
raphy, transportation, the cost of living and
educational opportunities, Mike Michels, a
spokesman for Torrance, California-based
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., said in an
emailed statement. Toyotas manufacturing
plants are in Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi
and Indiana.
We chose a location that better supports
our diverse geographic footprint, in a time
zone that allows us to communicate better
with most of our operations, and has direct
flights to all our operations, Michaels
said.
The availability of direct ights between
the U.S. and Japan was a key element.
Toyota executives travel to and from Asia
hundreds of times a year, Decker said.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport has
no direct ights to Asia.

U.S.eating habits improve a bit except among poor
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Americans eating habits have improved -
except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap
when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, food
choices remain far from ideal, a 12-year study found.
On an index of healthy eating where a perfect score is
110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000,
climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found.
Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average
and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged
almost four points lower than those for high-income adults
at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six
points in 2009-10.
Higher scores mean greater intake of heart-healthy foods
including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats,
and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic ill-
nesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Low
scores mean people face greater chances for developing
those ailments.
The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and
will have important public health implications, said
study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public
Health. Diet-linked chronic diseases such as diabetes have
become more common in Americans in general, and espe-
cially in the poor, he noted.
Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the
gap between the poor and the rich, Hu said.
Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the
healthy diet index used for the study. It is similar to federal
dietary guidelines but features additional categories includ-
ing red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and
alcohol.
The study authors used that index along with government
estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in
1999-2010 national health surveys that included interviews
with people about their eating habits. The results are pub-
lished Monday in JAMAInternal Medicine.
Hu said the widening diet gap reects an income gap that
deepened during the recent nancial crisis, which likely
made healthy food less affordable for many people. Hu also
noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often
widely available in low-income neighborhoods.
The overall diet improvement was largely due to decreased
intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing
results point to a need for policy changes including better
nutrition education, Hu said.
In recent years the government and manufacturers have
moved to phase out use of articial trans fats in foods
including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and mar-
garines. Trans fats contribute to unhealthy cholesterol lev-
els and can increase heart disease risks. These fats are made
by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to improve texture and
shelf life.
The study authors say their results are consistent with an
earlier report showing that nearly the entire U.S. popula-
tion fell short of meeting federal dietary recommendations.
The federal guidelines are updated every ve years and new
ones will be issued next year. The current recommendations
emphasize limiting intake of trans fats, sodium, processed
foods and added sugars. They dont specify amounts but
encourage diets high in whole grains, vegetables and fruit.
In recent

and
manufacturers

and can see they have a completely differ-
ent lifestyle over there, he said. We (the
U.S. and Mexico) dont really have a great
relationship in my opinion. To go and see
their perspective is a great learning experi-
ence.
Students at Woodside apply to be part of
the Green Academy, which offers smaller
class sizes and a science-based, project-ori-
ented learning with an interdisciplinary
approach to subjects beginning their soph-
omore year. Theres even a student garden
on campus, complete with chickens, that
replaced a vacant lot. It acts as an outdoor
classroom for horticulture lessons. The 3-
year-old program has resulted in higher
GPAs and lower suspension rates, said
Principal Diane Burbank. Green Academy
English teacher Erica St. John said she gets
to really know the students in the program.
Its really like a family, she said. Its
more student interest-based.
The students and teachers are being
joined on the trip by six Rotarians and oth-
ers. H2OpenDoors also installed systems
in the Philippines in 2013, and will be
bringing a unit to a large clinic in central
Guatemala in December.

Pizza continuing to offer hookah was it
was vital to its business model, which
i snt the case with Le Burgeon that seeks
to permit cigar smoke.
Pollard said hes interested in hearing
from Waterfront Pizza at the meeting and
the council will need to decide if new
restaurant restrictions apply to all.
I dont think we should limit the ordi-
nance to identify one place. Either its
50 percent smoking and nonsmoking and
provide signage and make that the guide-
lines for other places. We want this to be
thoughtful, Pollard said.
According to the staff report, 73
California municipalities prohibit
smoking in all outdoor dining areas and
46 entities limit the ban to less than 100
percent of the outdoor areas.
Okamoto said hes hopeful to move for-
ward with strengthening the citys smok-
ing ordinance. With the councils direc-
tion, staff would return with the proposed
amendments for adoption at a later meet-
i ng.
I feel confident weve studied it and
discussed it amongst the council and
weve given ample time to the public to
give us their opinion, Okamoto said.
So I think we will be able to make some
resolution [Tuesday] night.

to the community in September and ulti-
mately the Board of Supervisors in late
October.
The goal is creating a commercial corridor
that is walkable, safer and a draw to visitors
from those outside the largely Latino area.
The favored changes include having three
trafc lanes on Middleeld Road with bike
lanes. During a walking tour of the area in
July, business owners and Supervisor
Warren Slocum, who represents the district,
pointed out the safety challenges of bike
riders sharing space with cars speeding
down the street.
Whether to have four or three lanes of traf-
c was a pretty tough decision and the coun-
cil split, said Ashley Quintana of North Fair
Oaks Forward which is implementing the
North Fair Oaks Community Plan and work-
ing on the revamp.
The biggest concern with three lanes was
that it may stop emergency vehicles. But
one of the biggest things were striving for
is a more vibrant downtown feel and three
lanes gives us the ability to make the side-
walks much wider and have bike lanes,
Quintana said.
The wider sidewalks from the existing
5.5 feet up to as much as 12 feet will
accommodate benches, trash and recycling
receptacles, street and pedestrian lighting
and public space. The sprucing up doesnt
stop there; the plan also suggests greenery
and street art.
Along with bike lanes, the renovated road
will also use parallel parking rather than the
diagonal spaces that jut out. The change
helps accommodate the sidewalks and bike
paths but also does away with 30 percent of
the parking stock, said Deputy County
Manager Peggy Jensen.
The hope is identifying an off-street lot
that can be used for parking or even
although a more expensive option build-
ing a garage.
Along with developing the draft design,
the North Fair Oaks Community Council
asked staff to prepare a report on possible
parking solutions to make up the difference.
Two other reports were also requested: one
on trafc management and another on local
business sustainability.
The next step is actually creating the
design. Although components like the num-
ber of trafc lanes is set, public comment
can still help shape elements like exactly
how wide the new sidewalks will be,
Quintana said.
Adesire to renovated Middleeld Road has
been on the county wish list for the last ve
to six years but only became a reality after
voters passed the Measure Ahalf-cent sales
tax increase.
If the Board of Supervisors signs off on
the recommendation, county ofcials esti-
mate conservatively that design and con-
struction will happen between November
2014 and 2019.
The redesign community meeting is 7
p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23 at the Fair Oaks
Community Center, 2600 Middleeld Road,
Redwood City. The Board of Supervisors
meeting on the nal recommendation is 9
a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 in Board Chambers,
400 County Center, Redwood City. More
information on the redesign including traf-
fic analyses is available at
nf of orward.org/ nf o-f orward/middlefield-
road-redesign.

mits were actually issued by the city.
Meanwhile, nearly 20 percent of all code
enforcement cases involved illegal units
which can take up to six months to resolve.
City staff thought perhaps the current
regulations were too prohibitive but want
to balance flexibility with a neighbor-
hoods existing character, Associate
Planner Michelle Littleeld told the Daily
Journal prior to the last study session.
What they heard most from residents at
the previous study sessions were concerns
about parking, setbacks, homeowner resi-
dency requirements, height and the number
of bedrooms allowed. However, not every-
body agreed. For example, although 96 per-
cent of those commenting wanted the park-
ing requirements changed, they were fairly
evenly split between those who wanted
them tightened and those who prefer them
loosened. A similar split happened with
height limits.
In response, planning staff recommends
continuing to require on extra parking
space for the ADU but allowing it to be in
the front, side and rear yard or tandem in the
driveway.
Setback are recommended to change from
20 feet to 6 feet for one-story units but stay
at 20 feet for two-story buildings.
Currently, the homeowner is not allowed
to live in the ADU a restriction for those
who may wish to rent out the primary resi-
dence instead but the recommendation
Tuesday night will allow residency in
either.
Staff recommends keeping the 2.5-story
height limit intact for attached ADUs but
increasing it to 20 feet for detached units.
After advocates for increasing the bed-
room count to allow caregivers to live with
their elderly charges in the ADU were coun-
tered by those worried about density and
overcrowding, city staff suggested a change
to two bedrooms only for properties greater
than 10,000 square feet. Along those lines,
ADUs might get a 10 percent lot coverage
bonus if provided as housing for the elderly
or individuals with special needs.
The Planning Commission may also con-
sider the possibility of an amnesty pro-
gram for already built illegal units but
Littleeld, in her report to the council, is
not recommending the idea. Instead, she
wrote that if parking requirements are
relaxed the city should instead monitor how
that and any other changes impact the num-
ber of unpermitted structures built.
Any new ordinance will require an envi-
ronmental impact review because it is con-
sidered a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act. The city hopes
to have a draft, if desired, back before the
Planning Commission later this year.

Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2

A marijuana high generally peaks within a half hour and
dissipates within three hours, but THC can linger for days in
the bodies of habitual smokers.
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON As states liberal-
ize their marijuana laws, public of-
cials and safety advocates worry that
more drivers high on pot will lead to a
big increase in traffic deaths.
Researchers, though, are divided on
the question.
Studies of marijuanas effects show
that the drug can slow decision-mak-
ing, decrease peripheral vision and
impede multitasking, all of which are
critical driving skills. But unlike with
alcohol, drivers high on pot tend to be
aware that they are impaired and try to
compensate by driving slowly, avoid-
ing risky actions such as passing
other cars, and allowing extra room
between vehicles.
On the other hand, combining mari-
juana with alcohol appears to elimi-
nate the pot smokers exaggerated cau-
tion and seems to increase driving
impairment beyond the effects of
either substance alone.
We see the legalization of marijua-
na in Colorado and Washington as a
wake-up call for all of us in highway
safety, said Jonathan Adkins, execu-
tive director of Governors Highway
Safety Association, which represents
state highway safety ofces.
We dont know enough about the
scope of marijuana-impaired driving to
call it a big or small problem. But any-
time a driver has their ability
impaired, it is a problem.
Colorado and Washington are the
only states that allow retail sales of
marijuana for recreational use. Efforts
to legalize recreational marijuana are
underway in Alaska, Massachusetts,
New York, Oregon and the District of
Columbia. Twenty-three states and the
nations capital permit marijuana use
for medical purposes.
It is illegal in all states to drive
while impaired by marijuana.
Colorado, Washington and Montana
have set an intoxication threshold of 5
parts per billion of THC, the psy-
choactive ingredient in pot, in the
blood. A few other states have set
intoxication thresholds, but most
have not set a specific level. In
Washington, there was a jump of near-
ly 25 percent in drivers testing posi-
tive for marijuana in 2013 the rst
full year after legalization but no
corresponding increase in car acci-
dents or fatalities.
What worries highway safety
experts are cases like that of New York
teenager Joseph Beer, who in October
2012 smoked marijuana, climbed into
a Subaru Impreza with four friends and
drove more than 100 mph before los-
ing control. The car crashed into trees
with such force that the vehicle split in
half, killing his friends.
Beer pleaded guilty to aggravated
vehicular homicide and was sentenced
last week to 5 years to 15 years in
prison.
A prosecutor blamed the crash on
speed and weed, but a Yale
University Medical School expert on
drug abuse who testied at the trial said
studies of marijuana and crash risk are
highly inconclusive. Some studies
show a two- or three-fold increase,
while others show none, said Dr.
Mehmet Sofuoglu. Some studies even
showed less risk if someone was mari-
juana positive, he testied.
Teenage boys and young men are the
most likely drivers to smoke pot and
the most likely drivers to have an acci-
dent regardless of whether theyre
high, he said.
Being a teenager, a male teenager,
and being involved in reckless behav-
ior could explain both at the same time
not necessarily marijuana causing
getting into accidents, but a general
reckless behavior leading to both con-
ditions at the same time, he told
jurors.
In 2012, just over 10 percent of high
school seniors said they had smoked
pot before driving at least once in the
prior two weeks, according to
Monitoring the Future, an annual
University of Michigan survey of
50,000 middle and high school stu-
dents. Nearly twice as many male stu-
dents as female students said they had
smoked marijuana before driving.
A roadside survey by the National
Highway Trafc Safety Administration
in 2007 found 8.6 percent of drivers
tested positive for THC, but its not
possible to say how many were high at
the time because drivers were tested
only for the presence of drugs, not the
amount.
A marijuana high generally peaks
within a half hour and dissipates with-
in three hours, but THC can linger for
days in the bodies of habitual smok-
ers.
Will traffic deaths rise as states legalize pot?

corridors and open spaces.
Proponents of the change say it will
help growth in development in San
Bruno, while others argue it will gen-
trify a working class area, while
increasing congestion and causing
water shortages.
One of the people in support of the
ballot measure is Mayor Jim Ruane
who said the ordinance is outdated and
increasing height limits in that partic-
ular area will allow for more develop-
ment.
Times have changed and the eco-
nomic outlook is much brighter,
Ruane said. We have had a lot of inter-
est from developers, but [the height
limits] really restrict what we can do.
On the advent of (Caltrain) grade sepa-
ration, its the perfect time.
He added that the change only affects
that area and residents arent going to
be moved for development.
Its just a reasonable thing and will
help the economic vitality of San
Bruno.
On the other side, Millbraes Doug
Radtke, the campaign chair against
Measure N, calls San Brunos
Downtown and Transit Corridors
Economic Enhancement Initiative a
thinly veiled attempt to promote the
Plan Bay Area goal of expanding areas
of high density pack and stack hous-
ing, eroding neighbors property val-
ues, according to his ballot argument.
Radtke lived half of his childhood in
San Bruno before moving to Millbrae.
I noticed a lot of the supporters
were business owners, he said. Its
just targeting a specic working class
area. Growing up there, its been a
working class neighborhood. I just see
the plan as arbitrarily picking a zone
for gentrication to benet the devel-
opers. Why not just repeal it? Allow
the free market to decide what gets
built and what doesnt get built. I
feel like the measure goes to benet
companies.
Some local business leaders say the
height limits need to change to give
downtown a boost, with Dennis
Sammut, CEO of the Artichoke Joes
Casino on Huntington Avenue, noting
that a lot of the buildings in the down-
town 1600 block of San Mateo Avenue
are 100 years old.
The downtown is tired; its old, he
previously said. Someday youve got
to bite the bullet. I think theyre (the
council) kind of caught. Theres a lot
of resident concerns. Its a very dif-
cult decision for the council; its
dynamic. If they want the town to
move into the next century, it has to
be an intelligently planned develop-
ment. Looking for the future of San
Bruno, the way to help move it forward
is increase height limits. You cant
go crazy and put up a 90-story building
though.
This is a turning point for San
Bruno, Radtke said.
Whatever they (voters) choose,
that wont impact my daily life, but
folks need to educate themselves on
both sides to decide what type of city
they want to live in. I dont think you
can transform San Bruno into
Burlingame Avenue overnight.
The Yes on N campaign responded to
Radtkes argument with a rebuttal that
noted the process to craft the measure
included two years of public outreach,
changes and engagement.
Unfortunately, the one individual
who signed the opposing argument did
not participate in any of our public dis-
cussion plus he lives in Millbrae,
it stated. His solution to remove all
limits in the entire city is ridiculous
and inconsistent with the thoughtful
community process that produced
Measure N.
Conversely, residents like Marty
Medina, want to see a nice, bustling,
pretty downtown, but is primarily con-
cerned adding more water users to the
city will result in a more expensive
water system for San Bruno.
Everybody else would like to have
another Burlingame Avenue, but were
not in Burlingame, he said. The
biggest issue I think I have besides the
water issue is how our council is sell-
ing this to the public. Why they are
silent on the issue? They could have
stepped down and said, Im not vot-
ing, but here is my public comment.
They (the council) keep saying we
need this because developers arent
going to come to San Bruno, but thats
a lie. Developers are going to come
here because theres no more land in
the area to build. The council should
be more upfront with whats going on
and not do the legal minimums.
Two councilmembers, Rico Medina
and Michael Salazar, recused them-
selves from the vote to put the measure
on the Nov. 4 ballot because they own
properties in close proximity.
Councilwoman Irene OConnell also
owns property in the vicinity, but
voted for the measure to get the third
vote needed for it to pass.
HEIGHTS
Opponents of Measure O say the city
has found ways to cut back through
sharing services and the city is no
longer in a dire budget decit that war-
rants Half Moon Bay having one of the
highest sales taxes in the state.
Half Moon Bay has already raised
the hotel tax to 12 percent. So tourists
are already paying their share. So this
is a sales tax ... which will impact
everyone in Half Moon Bay when they
shop downtown, buy a car, order
things online, Harland Harrison,
chair of the Libertarian Party of San
Mateo County.
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk said
the tax rate is consistent with those in
the area and Mueller said the increased
funds improve life on the coast. Even
after the election, the community
would have some discretion as part of
the measure is establishing an inde-
pendent body to ensure the funds are
spent wisely, Mueller said.
The oversight committee monitors
where this sales tax funds can go, so
whether its street improvements or
whatever projects we undertake, it will
denitely be accounted for. And were
just going to continue to make great
progress with our city, Mueller said.
Measure J was approved during the
midst of a city budget decit, deferred
infrastructure maintenance and the
Beachwood Development lawsuit, in
which the city had a $30 million bond
to settle.
Harrison said the extension is
unnecessary since the lawsuit was pri-
marily paid off through insurance.
Theyre much better off now.
Theyre paying off their long-term
debt about 10 years early, their losses
were covered by insurance and they
never really needed this tax in the rst
place, Harrison said. Basically
theyre spending all this money any
way they want because its going into
the general fund. Theyre not required
to do those projects at all.
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk said
the city outlined important community
improvement projects in Measure J,
and Measure O would do the same.
Previously, we passed Measure J to
allow the city, for the rst time, to
implement some infrastructure proj-
ects that were much needed. And we did-
nt have any exibility, Kowalczyk
said. And we said we would do certain
things and we did all of them.
Due to Measure J, Kowalczyk said
the city was able to boost tourism,
repave 17 miles of its poorly degrad-
ing streets and, with the help of
Measure O, can nish off the remain-
ing 10 miles of its street maintenance
project, Kowalczyk said. But most
importantly, he said it will assist in
building a new library.
Were faced with a new opportunity.
Measure O will fund, what I think is the
most important project in the last 30
years for the city, which is to substan-
tially fund our new library,
Kowalczyk said.
The citys aging library is the only
one on the coast between Pacica and
Santa Cruz, Kowalczyk said. After out-
reach to more than 2,000 citizens, the
common theme was a need for a desir-
able gathering place,
Kowalczyk said.
This community-driven
project is estimated to cost
about $25 million and would
include a maker lab, large
meeting room and higher vol-
ume of resources and books,
Kowalczyk said. The county
will contribute a major por-
tion and Measure O is current-
ly the citys only mechanism
to largely fund its portion of
the new library, Kowalczyk
said.
Its critical that we have
the ability to teach from a
point of innovation and col-
laboration for our kids. So the
library will be the hub of the
community for meetings, for
classes, for innovation, for
all kinds of things,
Kowalczyk said. Its impor-
tant that the community con-
nect the dots between a new
library and yes on O.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Frederick Allen Pabst
Case Number: 124793
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Federick Allen Pabst. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
John F. Sherwood, Sr. in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
John F. Sherwood, Sr. be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 12,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
203 Public Notices
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

WORLD 28

ISLAMABAD Ahead of a joint session of parliament,
Pakistans prime minister and army chief held marathon meet-
ings Monday over violent anti-government protests that
could force the premier of this nuclear-armed country to
resign.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif again vowed he would not step
down under duress, even as protesters briey took over the
countrys state-run television broadcaster and battled security
forces in the streets. But the pressure from three days of vio-
lent protests on Sharif has intensied amid reports later
denied by the military that the countrys powerful army
chief advised him to resign.
The parliamentary session Tuesday appears to be an attempt
to rally political support to the prime ministers side. While
many politicians have backed him so far, many in the coun-
try increasingly have grown worried about the protests and
the direction of the nascent democracy in the country of 180
million people.
The turmoil comes as part of the mass demonstrations led
by cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri and opposition politician Imran
Khan, who both demand Sharif step down over their allega-
tions of fraud in last years election. Their protests, which
have been peaceful for weeks, turned ugly this weekend when
clashes between protesters and security forces killed three
people and wounded some 400 in running street battles in
Pakistans capital, Islamabad.
Monday began with more violence.
Demonstrators briey took over Pakistans state television
station, forcing the channel off the air. Senior ofcial Athar
Farooq said 20 cameras went missing as protesters overran
the station, armed with sticks and screaming. The intruders
also destroyed equipment and fought with employees.
Several protesters also took down a portrait of Sharif from
a wall, threw it on the oor and stomped on it in anger.
Soldiers and paramilitary Rangers later reached the building
and began to clear it of protesters. Some private television
stations showed footage of protesters embracing the Rangers
and agreeing to leave.
The rallies against Sharif constitute the biggest threat to
his government. Several rounds of negotiations between rep-
resentatives of Khan and Qadri and the government have
failed to resolve the crisis.
