Moving Burlingames City Hall is one
option being discussed while city ofcials
determine how to tackle unfunded infrastruc-
ture needs that add up to approximately
$100 million.
There are 11 unfunded infrastructure proj-
ects. There was public outreach in the
spring and summer of this
year, which included an
online survey ranking
the infrastructure needs as
very critical, some-
what critical and not
critical. The rankings
are based on the very
critical votes cast. The
council was asked to pri-
oritize such projects in August using the
same questionnaire.
Vice Mayor Terry Nagel discussed moving
City Hall, currently located at 501 Primrose
Road, to another location and selling the
land.
To rebuild [City Hall at this location]
would be horrendously expensive, she
said.
City Hall is not a sexy building, but has
to be taken care of since its seismically
unsound, said Councilman Ricardo Ortiz.
The building has asbestos in the ceiling,
Nagel added.
I believe the public/private partnership
is realistic, Ortiz said. We should pursue it
as much as possible.

police vacancies
City officials looking at new recruits
to account for retirees, resignations
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With an improving economy and securing qualied police
ofcers becoming more competitive, San Mateo will hire
three additional cops to account for upcoming vacancies,
employees on long-term disability and those moving in
response to the high cost of living in the area.
The number of lateral resignations, or ofcers whove left
the San Mateo police force to work for alternate law
enforcement agencies, has doubled in the last decade and six
ofcers have resigned in 2014 alone, according to a city
staff report.
With outside agencies drawing from its police force, the
City Council approved spending $230,000 to hire three
new full-time ofcers at a meeting Monday night. The
department is also shifting toward seeking entry-level of-
cers early on in anticipation of vacancies.
Aminimum of 25 on duty ofcers are required to adequate-

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 18th annual Wine Walk is hit-
ting the streets of San Mateo this
weekend as local merchants team up
with Bay Area wineries to offer the
public a taste of what downtown has to
offer.
The Downtown San Mateo
Association is presenting Saturdays
event where 18 local businesses will
serve as sampling rooms for 18 winer-
ies with restaurants contributing food
pairings, said DSMA ofce manager
Kathleen Bednarik.
Downtown merchants act as mini
tasting rooms and we pair them up with
wineries from all over the Bay Area and
truly the idea is for folks not only to
enjoy the Wine Walk and wines from
all over the Bay Area, but also give
them the opportunity to have a leisure-
ly stroll through downtown San Mateo
and see some businesses they didnt
know were here. And we have new busi-
ness popping up all the time,
Bednarik said.
The annual crawl is one of the areas
largest events and a DSMA tradition
aimed at offering an entertaining after-
noon while promoting San Mateo mer-
chants, DSMA board President Nancy
Bush wrote in an email.
This is downtown San Mateos sig-
nature event in an intimate setting
where people can enjoy wine tasting
and learn more about what downtown
has to offer, Bush said.
Many of the 18 businesses are loyal
participants and Saturdays event will
be similar to last years Wine Walk,
Bednarik said.
It is truly back to the traditional
format of no street closings and really
getting the downtown merchants
involved, Bednarik said. Many of
our merchants tasting rooms have par-
ticipated since the inception of the

Mayor offers to help
McGraw find Portland, Maine
PORTLAND, Maine Portland,
Maine? Tim McGraw doesnt know
where it is. And he doesnt want to
know, either.
The country singer included a song,
Portland, Maine, on his latest
album, Sundown Heaven Town,
which came out Tuesday.
Its a breakup song in which
McGraw laments that his love has left
for Portland. During the chorus, he

dont know where that is and adds I
dont want to know.

beer can stuck on its head had to be
rescued near a fraternity house in
southwestern Ohio.
Oxford police said a resident called
them about the skunks predicament

control ofcer was able to free the
skunk without getting sprayed
The animal was then released.
Varley says police in the city about
an hours drive northwest of
Cincinnati have received calls before

But he says this was the rst one he
knew of that had to be rescued from a
beer can.

by the animals.
Authorities say the man claims he
and a passenger were drinking the
night before but didnt remember what
happened next.
Police say the driver suffered
injuries to a shoulder and his hands and
the passenger suffered back injuries.
The driver was issued multiple cita-
tions, but the charges havent been

Michigan woman holds
off thief, then gives birth
FLINT, Mich. Police in Flint,
Michigan, say a woman gave birth

the woman was putting groceries in
her car Tuesday on the city's east side
when an unarmed man grabbed her
purse. Police say she ran after him, and
he pushed her down.
The Flint Journal reports two
bystanders stopped the man and
retrieved the woman's purse. The man

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Drivers for ride-sharing
companies such as Uber and Lyft must carry
minimum levels of insurance under legisla-
tion that will take effect next July.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday
that he had signed AB2293 by
Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-
Concord.
Supporters of the legislation said ride-
sharing companies were operating in an
insurance gray zone by using personal cars
for commercial purposes. Bonilla said the
case of an Uber driver who struck and killed a
6-year-old girl while looking for passengers
in San Francisco highlighted gaps in insur-
ance requirements that she wanted to close.
Her legislation prompted one of the
biggest public relations and lobbying bat-
tles of the legislative session, pitting insur-
ers and consumer groups against high-pro-
le transportation start-
ups.
AB2293 requires drivers
to carry a basic policy
that includes liability
insurance of $50,000 for
killing or injuring a per-
son, $100,000 for dam-
age from a single accident
and $30,000 for property
damage. Uber and Lyft
supported Bonillas bill
after she agreed to reduce the required amount
of excess insurance from $500,000 to
$200,000 when drivers do not have passen-
gers in their vehicles.
Bonilla said the law will help protect con-
sumers.
This legislation also reinforces corporate
responsibility, safeguarding taxpayers from
subsidizing the costs of commercial activi-
t y, she said in a statement.

West Nile infected
mosquitoes found, multiple
cities to be fogged Thursday
Portions of Belmont, Foster City,
Redwood City, Redwood Shores and San
Mateo will be fogged Thursday night after
mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus
were found Tuesday.
The fogging will occur between 9 p.m.
and 5 a.m. in a primarily residential area
bounded by Regan Drive to the southwest,
Belmont Slough to the east and Beach
Park Boulevard to the north, according to
the San Mateo County Mosquito and
Vector Control District.
Fogging will also take place on the
Oracle campus and at the Bayshore
Technology Park, according to the dis-
trict.
The affected areas include portions of
zip codes 94404, 94065 and 94403,
according to the district.
The district will use the adulticide
Zenivex, which the Environmental
Protection Agency has determined is safe
for urban use. The upcoming fogging is in
response to mosquitoes testing positive
for West Nile having been found in the
county over the past few months for the
first time in the districts history, accord-
ing to the district.
Reports of dead birds are an early indica-
tion that the virus is circulating in the
environment and residents are encouraged
to help by reporting fresh carcasses of
birds or squirrels to the West Nile virus
hotline online at www.westnile.ca.gov or
by calling (877) 968-2473.

ing truck-mounted fogging contact the

Eleven-year-old girl
killed in Burlingame
crash Sunday identified
An 11-year-old girl who died in a crash
on Interstate 280 in Burlingame early
Sunday morning has been identified by the
San Mateo County Coroners Office as 11-
year-old Iliyah Porter.
The crash was reported around 12:55
a.m. Sunday on northbound Interstate 280
south of Trousdale Drive, according to the
California Highway Patrol.
A black Chevrolet SUV was heading
north on the highway when the driver lost
control, went off of the road and down an
embankment. The vehicle crashed into a
tree and Porter, a San Francisco resident,
was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP
officials said.
The driver was hospitalized with major
injuries but is expected to survive. Other
passengers in the car were taken to the
hospital with minor injuries, according to
the CHP.
CHP officials said it appears that every-
one was wearing seat belts at the time of
the crash and that it does not appear that
alcohol played a role.
CHP Officer Art Montiel said Tuesday
that investigators are looking into the
sleepiness of the driver as a possible cause
of the crash.
Family members set up a page on the
crowdfunding website GoFundMe to raise
$15,000 in funeral expenses for Iliyah.
The campaign at
http://www.gofundme.com/ejr55g had
raised $6,475 as of this morning.
Teen found dead in
Belmont apartment identified
A teen found dead in a Belmont apart-

according to the San Mateo County

Motryuk was found in an apartment in
the 2200 block of Lake Road at about 8:20

He was unresponsive and despite life-
saving measures, he was pronounced dead
in the apartment, police said.
Investigators found evidence of drug use
in the apartment but have not said whether
it is believed to have contributed to
Motryuks death.
The Coroners Office is still determin-
ing the cause of death.

Medi-Cal patients
sue over backlog
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Medi-Cal patients and
health care advocates led a lawsuit against
the state Wednesday for leaving hundreds of
thousands of low-income and disabled people
waiting months for care.
The suit led in Alameda County Superior
Court aims to get the California Department
of Health Care Services to process applica-
tions within a required 45-day time frame.
One plaintiff, 68-year old Frances Rivera of
Visalia, said she lost her adult son, Robert,
who died from a pulmonary embolism while
waiting to hear back about his Medi-Cal
application. The application was approved
two months after he died.
Its not easy watching someone you love
go through this, and theres nothing you can
do, Rivera said in a statement. I just want to
cry when I think about all the times we said,
He has this problem, and nobody did any-
thing.
The health care services department does
not comment about pending litigation,
spokesman Norman Williams said.
Medi-Cal is the states version of Medicaid,
the state-federal health insurance program for
poor, disabled and low-income people. The
programs ranks have swelled nationwide
under President Barack Obamas Affordable
Care Act, which allows more people to quali-
fy in the states that decided to expand it.
California was among the states that opted
to expand Medicaid but also has the largest
application backlog. It stood at 900,000 in
May, out of 1.9 million people who enrolled.
The state Department of Health Care Services
reported the backlog had been reduced to
350,000 as of Sept. 1.
We will continue our joint work with the
counties to process these cases, and we
expect more progress in the coming weeks,
Williams said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A South San Francisco man
accused of raping two different
women in 2001 pleaded not
guilty to several charges of sex-
ual assault.
After entering his plea, Boris
Emmanuel Chavez, 33, waived
his right to a speedy preliminary
hearing and
set the matter
for Nov. 6. He
remains in
custody on
$1. 5 mi l l i on
bai l .
Chavez was
identified as
the suspect in
the attacks earlier this year after
his DNA was entered into a
nationwide crime database fol-
lowing an arrest on suspicion of
felony robbery in South San
Francisco. The District
Attorneys Office declined to file
charges in that case but the data-
base turned up a hit for the sexu-
al assaults.
In the May 4, 2001, case, a
woman found half naked and
bleeding on a South San
Francisco street told investiga-
tors she recalled nothing other
than running into some friends
and partying. On Nov. 1, 2001,
a second woman reported being
carried from a Halloween party
to a car by two men after first
feeling strange and losing
bodily control. She reported
being assaulted by both as she
drifted in and out of conscious-
ness.
If convicted of the kidnapping
charge alone, Chavez faces up to
life in prison.

Over 2K homes
threatened in
California fire
By Jeff Barnard
WEED Teams of reghters
went house-to-house on
Wednesday to pin down damage
done by a wildre that ofcials
estimated had destroyed 110
homes and damaged another 90 in
the small town of Weed while
another Northern California blaze
east of Sacramento was threaten-
ing more than 2,000 homes as it
burned out of control, officials
said.
The new figures from Weed
brought a marked increase from
the initial estimate that a total of
150 structures had been destroyed
or damaged in the blaze that began
Monday and rapidly swept across
the town. Four firefighters lost
their homes.
In the re east of Sacramento, a
total of 2,500 firefighters were
now taking on the blaze that was
threatening 2,003 homes and
another 1,505 smaller structures,
the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection said.
Its been an explosive couple
of days, CalFire spokesman
Daniel Berlant said.
The re has burned nearly 44
square miles of trees and brush and
is just 5 percent contained.
We are faced with a large and
dangerous fire, Laurence
Crabtree, a U.S. Forest Service
supervisor for the Eldorado
National Forest, told the
Sacramento Bee. We have had
signicant losses of public timber
land, private timberland and
watershed.
Most of the threatened homes
were in Pollock Pines, 60 miles
east of Sacramento. Hundreds of
them are under evacuation orders,
but it wasnt immediately clear
exactly how many.
In Weed, two churches, a com-
munity center and the library also
burned to the ground, while an ele-
mentary school and the citys last
wood products mill were damaged
by ames that had been pushed by
40 mph winds.
On Wednesday, firefighters
braced for more wind as they bat-
tled the 375-acre re, and insur-
ance companies worked to find
places to live for the people who
lost their homes.
The cause of the blaze was under
investigation. It was 60 percent
contained.
Burned neighborhoods remained
off-limits, but people have been
nding ways in since the re start-
ed.
The Rev. Bill Hofer, pastor of
Weed Berean Church, said power
was back on in his home, which
was still standing on the edge of

We were in the middle of its

ident of human resources for the

lost homes in the blaze.
The temporary closure of the
mill came as another blow to a
town still suffering from logging
cutbacks in the 1990s intended to
protect fish and wildlife, said
Siskiyou County Supervisor
Michael Kobseff.
With 170 workers, the mill is
the second largest employer in
Weed, a blue-collar town of 3,000
people in the shadow of Mount
Shasta. He said some residents are
anxious to rebuild.
Then there are others still pret-
ty well devastated, he said. But I
think the community is just trying
to pull together and get back on
track.

WASHINGTON A doctor who
rst exposed serious problems at
the troubled Phoenix Veterans
Affairs hospital said Wednesday
that a report on patient deaths there
is a whitewash that minimizes
life-threatening conduct by senior
leaders at the hospital.
Dr. Samuel Foote, a former clinic
director for the VAin Phoenix, said
a report by the departments inspec-
tor general appears designed to
minimize the scandal and protect
its perpetrators rather than to pro-
vide the truth.
At best, this report is a white-
wash, Foote told the House
Veterans Affairs Committee. At its
worst, it is a feeble attempt at a
cover-up. The report deliberately
uses confusing language and math,
invents new unrealistic standards of
proof ... and makes misleading
statements.
The Aug. 26 report said workers
at a Phoenix VA hospital falsied
waiting lists while their supervi-
sors looked the other way or even
directed it, resulting in chronic
delays for veterans seeking care.
The inspector generals ofce iden-
tied 40 patients who died while
awaiting appointments in
Phoenix, but the report said of-
cials could not conclusively
assert that delays in care caused the
deaths.
Acting Inspector General Richard
Grifn denied that the report sugar-
coated any information about the
Phoenix hospital or the VA, and he
disputed suggestions by several
Republicans that the report was
altered at the request of the VA.
The sentence declaring that
investigators could not conclu-
sively assert that delays in care
caused any patient deaths was not
included in a draft report, and some
lawmakers have suggested that
Grifns ofce added the language
in an attempt to soften an explo-
sive allegation that helped launch
the scandal in the spring that
delays in care may have resulted in
patient deaths. Grifn rejected that
idea out of hand.
This sentence was inserted for
clarity to summarize the results of
our clinical case reviews, he said,
adding that the change was by his
ofce on its own initiative.
Neither the language nor the
concept was suggested by anyone
at VAto any of my people, Grifn
said.

WASHINGTON Cuts to the
nations food stamp program
enacted this year are only affect-
ing four states, far from the sweep-
ing overhaul that Republicans had
pushed, an Associated Press
review has found.
As a result, its unclear whether
the law will realize the estimated
$8.6 billion in savings over 10
years that the GOP had advertised.
A farm bill signed by President
Barack Obama in February
attempted to save money by scal-
ing back what lawmakers called a
loophole in the food stamp pro-
gram that entitles low-income
families to more food aid if they
participate in a federal heating
assistance program. States were
giving some people as little as $1
a year in heating assistance so
they could get more food aid. Its
called heat and eat.
Among the 16 states that allow
the practice or some form of it, 12
governors have taken steps to
avoid the food stamp cuts.
Governments role is to help
people help themselves, and
these steps are necessary to help
our most vulnerable residents and
families meet their most basic
needs, Massachusetts Gov.
Deval Patrick said when he
announced his states move earli-
er this year.
The farm bill was held up for
more than two years as conserva-
tives insisted on cutting the
nations food stamp program,
which now serves 1 in 7
Americans at a cost of around $80
billion a year. The roughly 1 per-
cent cut was a compromise
between Republicans who had
hoped for far larger cuts and
Democrats who didnt want to see
any cuts at all.
The states workaround most-
ly by Democratic governors
has infuriated Republicans who
pushed the cuts. In March, House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
called the states moves fraud.
House Agriculture Chairman Frank
Lucas, R-Okla., and House Energy
and Commerce Chairman Fred
Upton, R-Mich., have asked the
Obama administration to hold
states accountable for dodging
the cuts.
The governors say they are fol-
lowing the law while preserving
crucial benets for their neediest
citizens.
Cuts to food stamp program will only affect four states

Local brief
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON One year ago, President
Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani came close to ending the decades-
long freeze on face-to-face meetings
between their countries leaders.
Next week both men are scheduled to
again be in New York for United Nations
meetings but expectations for even a hand-
shake are more muted than they were last
fall. While lower level ofcials from both
countries are now in regular contact, dead-
locked nuclear talks as well as the com-
plexities of the ght against militants in
the Middle East are clouding the
prospects for an elusive leaders meeting.
The state of play between the United
States and Iran is too fragile to endure what
would be the shock of a direct meeting,
said Robin Wright, a joint fellow at the
Wilson Center and the U.S. Institute of
Peace in Washington.
An in-person meeting between the two
leaders would mark a substantive shift in
the way the U.S. has dealt with Iran for
decades and could eventually open the door
for talks on matters beyond Tehrans disput-
ed nuclear program. It would also mark the
fulfillment of a pledge
Obama made as a presi-
dential candidate when he
said he would be willing
to talk to Americas
adversaries without pre-
conditions.
Obama spokesman
Josh Earnest said a meet-
ing with Rouhani is not
on Obamas dance card
next week, though the
White House has not ruled out the possibil-
ity that the two men could have an
encounter on the sidelines of the U.N.
General Assembly. Obama and Rouhani will
both arrive in New York early next week for
meetings with world leaders and speeches to
the U.N.
The White Houses public posture is
noticeably different than it was heading
into last years U.N. meetings, which came
on the heels of Rouhanis surprise victory
in Irans presidential elections. White
House ofcials said repeatedly that Obama
was willing to meet with the new, more
moderate-sounding Iranian leader. And
when plans for the meeting eventually fell
apart, U.S. ofcials made clear that it was
the Iranians who balked, not Obama.

WASHINGTON The Republican-con-
trolled House voted grudgingly Wednesday
to give the administration authority to
train and arm Syrian rebels as President
Barack Obama emphasized anew that
American forces do not and will not have a
combat mission in the struggle against
Islamic State militants in either Iraq or
Syria.
The 273-156 vote crossed party lines to
an unusual degree in a Congress marked by
near-ceaseless partisanship. Top
Republican and Democratic leaders backed
Obamas plan seven weeks before midterm
elections, while dozens of rank-and-le law-
makers in both parties opposed it.
The provision was added to spending leg-
islation that will ensure the federal govern-
ment operates normally after the Sept. 30
end of the budget year. Final approval is
expected in the Senate on Thursday.
Even supporters of the military plan
found little to trumpet. This is the best of a
long list of bad options, said Rep. Jim
Moran, D-Va.
One Republican supporter noted the meas-
ure includes strict limits on Obamas author-
ity. Members on both sides of the aisle are
very concerned that too much of Congress
warmaking power has gone to the presi-
dent, said Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma.
Obamas remarks and similar comments
Wednesday by House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi of California seemed designed
to reassure liberal lawmakers that the new
military mission would be limited.
In a statement following the vote, Obama
said the House took an important step for-
ward as our nation unites to confront the
threat posed by the Islamic State group,
showing bipartisan support for a critical
component of his strategy against the
extremists.
Only a day earlier, Gen. Martin E.
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, drew widespread attention when he
told Congress he might recommend the use
of U.S. ground combat forces if Obamas
current strategy fails to stop the militants.
Across the political aisle from the presi-
dent and Pelosi, Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, and House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy of California swung behind the
plan. Yet many other Republicans expressed
concerns that it would be insufcient to
defeat militants who have overrun parts of
Syria and Iraq and beheaded two American
journalists.
In all, 85 Democrats and 71 Republicans
voted to deny Obama the authority he
sought. The measure passed on the strength
of 159 votes from Republicans and 114
from Democrats.
GOP lawmakers took solace in the short-
term nature of the legislation. It grants
Obama authority only until Dec. 11, giving
Congress plenty of time to return to the
issue in a postelection session set to begin
in mid-November.
While the military provision was given a
separate vote in the House to tack it onto
the spending bill it seemed unlikely
there would be a yes-or-no vote in the
Senate on Obamas new military strategy to
train rebel forces in Saudi Arabia to be used
in conjunction with potential U.S.
airstrikes.

BAGHDAD Iraqs new prime minister
ruled out stationing U.S. ground troops in
his country, chiding the international com-
munity Wednesday for inaction in Syria and
lamenting the puzzling exclusion of
neighboring Iran from the coalition being
assembled to ght the Islamic State group.
Haider al-Abadi has been embraced by the
West as a more inclusive leader who might
heal the internal rifts that have dismem-
bered Iraq. But his forthrightness in an
interview with the Associated Press his
rst with international media suggested a
man capable of parting ways on vision and
holding his ground.
Al-Abadi praised the U.S. aerial campaign
targeting the militants who have overrun
much of northern and western Iraq and
carved out a proto-state spanning the Syria-
Iraq border, saying it has helped efforts to
roll back the Sunni extremists.
But he stressed that he sees no need for the
U.S. or other nations to send troops into
Iraq to help ght the Islamic State.
Not only is it not necessary, he said,
We dont want them. We wont allow them.
Full stop.
Instead, al-Abadi urged the international
community to expand its campaign against
the extremists in neighboring Syria, noting
that militants coming under pressure in Iraq
are retreating back into Syria.

New IS video warns
U.S. over Iraq deployment
BEIRUT The militant Islamic State
group released a video warning the United
States that its ghters are waiting for it in
Iraq if President Barack Obama sends troops
there, as his top general said may happen if
the current strategy of airstrikes fails.
The slick 52-second video entitled
Flames of War shows militants blowing
up tanks and images of wounded U.S. sol-
diers. It then shows a clip of Obama saying
that combat troops will not be returning to
Iraq, ending with a text overlay that reads
ghting has just begun.
The videos timing, released late Tuesday,
suggested it was a response to Gen. Martin
Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, who said in testimony to the Senate
Armed Services Committee that if the cur-
rent Iraq strategy doesnt prevail, he may
recommend the use of ground troops.
To be clear, if we reach the point where I
believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi
troops on attacks against specic ISIL tar-
gets, I will recommend that to the presi-
dent, Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, declared in testimony to the
Senate Armed Services Committee. He
referred to the militants by an alternative
name.
Iran rules out
cooperating with U.S. in Iraq
NEWYORK Irans foreign minister is
ruling out cooperating with the United
States in helping Iraq ght Islamic State
militants and warning that the terrorist
group poses a much broader global threat
that needs new thinking to eradicate.
Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday
that Iran has serious doubts about the will-
ingness and ability of the United States to
react seriously to the menace from the
Islamic State group across the board, not
just choosing where to confront it as it has
just started doing in Iraq.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Seattle Times
T
he United States should recognize
the limited scope of what it can
achieve as it returns military advis-
ers to Iraq and plots strategic airstrikes in
Syria to curb the growing terrorism threat
in the two volatile nations.
No matter how many smart bombs are
dropped or megalomaniacal leaders are
killed, the twisted ideology that birthed
Islamic State the terrorist group previ-
ously known as al-Qaida in Iraq wont be
totally eradicated. Its physical compe-
tence, however, can be severely maimed.
President Obama outlined his measured
military strategy to accomplish that goal
Wednesday by putting a muted U.S. mili-
tary advisory presence on the ground, and
by aiding the moderate forces opposing the
militant Islamic group.
This show of detached U.S. strength and
resolve, bolstered by United Nations part-
nerships, will check Islamic States ability
to threaten the United States and its allies,
Obama argues.
Clearly, the U.S. must do more to cripple
a group so bloodthirsty that it has brazenly
beheaded two American journalists in
recent weeks and posted videos of that bar-
barism online.
But the additional effort should involve
new tactics because the old and often-used
military-intervention tool has routinely
exacerbated problems in the Middle East
instead of resolved them.
All you can do in these situations is
learn from history, said U.S. Rep. Adam
Smith of Bellevue, the ranking Democrat
on the House Armed Services Committee.
Afull-scale U.S. military presence is not
going to be the answer.
Ravaging terrorists who justify their
cowardice by provoking the very reprisals
they decry only continues the cycle of
compounded intervention Obama has tried
to avoid.
Even though House Speaker John
Boehner is legitimately skeptical that
Obamas tactics can achieve an ideal out-
come and Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid worries about acting in haste, mem-
bers of Congress have signaled a willing-
ness to give the president the support he
needs.
Thats the proper course. But Obama and
Congress should be explicit in redening
what victory means and the metrics to get
there. That will help reassure the war-weary
American people.
Still, military intervention has never
changed the hearts, minds or politics of the
Middle East. So, the president who cam-
paigned as an anti-war U.S. senator is
forced to choose from an assortment of bad
options.
In such cases, lowering expectations
makes a lot of sense.
Solar energy water waste?
Editor,
Regarding the letter by Mr. Chase in the
Sept. 16 edition of the Daily Journal,
please give some facts about the amount of
water wasted by solar power generation
(More useless water wasting). Ive had
solar on my house for seven years and it
hasnt used a drop of water; and I havent
paid anything for power from the grid
either. Exactly how much water is wasted?
If you want to look at water-wasting
energy, look up hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking. The term hydraulic tells you
that the process depends on uid pressure.
That uid is clean water mixed with chemi-
cals and injected into gas-bearing rock to
break it out. Its not only a huge water-
waster, but it also makes the water used
unt for any other use. Or nuclear, which is
the most subsidized and protected energy in
history, and our progeny will be paying (in
every sense of the word) for the mess left
behind. And by the way, nuclear is a nite
resource and will run out surprisingly soon
look it up.
Any other energy source is nite, and the
potential energy they release when heated
originates in the sun. The most efcient
use is to go straight to the source, and save
the oil left to be used responsibly by the
generations to come.

Water bond and the Bay Area
Editor,
This letter responds to Foster City Vice
Mayor Art Kiesels Op-Ed regarding the
recently passed water bond. Assemblyman
Rich Gordon and I represented the Bay Area
on the Water Bond Working Group. Vice
Mayor Kiesel correctly points out; this
bond is far from perfect; however, it is a
vast improvement to the alternatives.
The ongoing historic drought, aging
water infrastructure and degraded watersheds
present an environmental and economic
crisis that must be addressed; so doing
nothing wasnt an option. Reaching a
compromise between both houses is chal-
lenging and I believe we struck the right
balance.
From my perspective, if voters pass the
water bond in November, it provides sig-
nicant regional and statewide benets in
water supply reliability, recycling, conser-
vation, sustainability, ood control and
ecosystem restoration.
Kiesel suggests San Mateo County does-
nt benet from the bond. In fact, of the
$810 million dedicated to regional water
security, climate and drought preparedness,
the San Francisco Bay Area (including San
Mateo County) is eligible to receive $65
million in allocations to regional agencies
via competitive grants.
Of the $1.495 billion available to pro-
tect rivers, lakes and watershed, the
Coastal Conservancy is eligible for over
$100 million for ecosystem protection and
restoration.
Other funding opportunities include com-
petitive grants for infrastructure improve-
ments for clean, safe, reliable drinking
water, agricultural and urban water conser-
vation, water recycling and signicant
funding for ood management and Delta
levees. Another $2.7 billion provides for
statewide operational improvements,
drought preparedness and important water
infrastructure improvements.
The drought is serious and pervasive
throughout the state and I believe what the
Bay Area will receive is fair and reasonable
and I will continue working to ensure our
needs and interests are represented.

San Carlos LED street lights
Editor,
The recent installation of LED street
lamps in San Carlos has cast an eerie pall
over our neighborhoods at night (San
Carlos converting street lights to LED in
the Sept. 11 edition of the Daily Journal.
I looked down our block one evening and
realized that I could no longer see much of
anything past about half-way down the
street whereas, in the past, I could even dis-
cern a cat strolling down the sidewalk.
Ajogger ran by and I wondered how he
could safely nd his way without a ash-
light. I certainly would not venture out at
night now without one.
What was the city thinking? Long-term
cost cutting at the expense of public safe-
ty? Did they even do any studies on how
dimly-lit streets, sidewalks and driveways
will impact crime?
I certainly never got word of any public
meetings regarding this change. I guess
The City of Good Living translates into
residents powerless to govern them-
selves.

Alibaba, Box
making news
A
libaba, the Chinese e-commerce
giant set to launch Friday what
some say may be the largest ini-
tial public offering ever, is also setting
its sites on San Mateo.
The Silicon Valley Business Journal,
which covers local real estate and busi-
ness better than any publication, reports
that numerous industry insiders say
Alibaba just signed a lease for 20,000 or
25,000 square feet at 400 S. El Camino
Real in San Mateo. That building, the tall
glass brown one at the edge of downtown,
is one of the nicest in the city. Its sur-
prising it had
that much
space avail-
able.
Its location
is perfect for
such a compa-
ny and should
bring addition-
al foot traffic
downtown,
which has seen
a renaissance
of sorts in
recent years
with a number
of startups,
maturing companies and the burgeoning
Draper University.
It also helps the city plant a new com-
pany flag just days after it was announced
that Redwood City landed cloud giant Box
in its 334,000-square-foot Crossing/900
project downtown. Box moving to
Redwood City is a big deal. Its a growing
company that itself has been planning an
IPO but put it off when the market for
technology stocks swooned in the spring.
How Alibaba does on Friday may have
an impact on when Box pulls the trigger
on its IPO. People are excited about
Alibaba and it priced its IPO modestly at
under $70 a share. Considering Google
was priced at $85 a share in 2004, there is
a very heavy chance that Alibabas will
rise considerably even if it doesnt on the
first day. And with a presence in San
Mateo, that could spell a benefit to this
area.
Cheryl Angeles, president and CEO of
the San Mateo Area Chamber of
Commerce, was thrilled when she learned
of Alibabas plans.
I couldnt be happier. It adds clout.
Were all competing for these companies
just to help with our economics, she
said.
San Mateo County has been considered a
part of Silicon Valley for a number of
years but, with the growing technology
presence in San Francisco, that is becom-
ing more apparent. After several changes
to downtown Redwood City to make it
more fun for its residents, city officials
there set the stage for a complete revamp
with more housing and office space close
to transit. And with the appeal of location
half way between San Jose and San
Francisco, it was a matter of time before
the city became a hot spot for big new
companies looking for a headquarters. San
Mateo has built a reputation as being an
incubator for companies the example
most pointed to is YouTube that then
move to bigger digs when they expand.
The plans for the Bay Meadows redevelop-
ment include 800,000 square feet for
offices and at one time Siebel Systems
was reportedly interested in headquarter-
ing there. Siebel has been absorbed by
Oracle so thats no longer on the table,
but perhaps the site will be ready for a
growing company when its time to say
Open Sesame.

NEW YORK The stock market
got the reassurance it wanted from the
Federal Reserve Wednesday.
The U.S. central bank signaled that
it would keep its short-term interest
rate near zero for a while yet, and
investors pushed the Dow Jones
industrial average to a record high.
Low rates have been a boon to the
market by helping stimulate the
economy and making stocks more
attractive compared with bonds.
The Fed is not going to take the
punch bowl away, said Brad
McMillan, chief investment officer
for Commonwealth Financial. They
didnt want to spook the market.
Major indexes drifted before the
Fed released a statement at 2 p.m.
Eastern time signaling little change
in its interest rate policy. Stocks in
all three U.S. major indexes rose. The
gains were small, but broad. Seven of
the 10 industry groups of the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose, led
by materials stocks.
In its statement following a two-
day policy meeting, the central
bank retained language that it plans
to keep short-term rates at a record
low for a considerable time after it
ends its monthly bond purchases in
November. Many investors inter-
pret that to mean the first hike
wont come until the middle of next
year.
The Dow gained 24.88 points, or
0.2 percent, to end at 17,156.85
its 16th record high this year. The
S&P 500 edged up 2.59 points, or 0.1
percent, to 2,001.57, falling short of
its own closing high of 2,007.71
from Sept. 5.
The Nasdaq composite finished
higher by 9.43 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 4,562.19, still well below
its dot-com era peak.
Shares of home builders jumped
after an index of builder confidence
for new homes rose to its highest
level in nearly nine years. Lennar
Corp. rose nearly 6 percent, the most
in the S&P 500 index.
The S&P 500 has risen 8 percent in
2014, extending the bull market into
a sixth year. Companies have been
hiring at a solid pace and manufactur-
ing and construction have picked up.
Dow at record after Fed keeps rates intact

WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve
signaled Wednesday that it plans to keep a
key interest rate at a record low because a
broad range of U.S. economic measures
remain subpar.
The Fed said it intends to keep its bench-
mark rate near zero as long as ination
remains under control, until it sees consis-
tent gains in wage growth, long-term unem-
ployment and other gauges of the job mar-
ket.
The central bank retained language sig-
naling its plans to keep short-term rates
low for a considerable time after it ends
its monthly bond purchases after its next
meeting in October.
In the Feds mind, the economy still has
work to do, but its improving, said Mike
Arone, an investment strategist with State
Street Global Advisors.
Stock prices rose after the Fed issued a
statement at 2 p.m. Eastern time after a two-
day policy meeting, and the Dow Jones
industrial average closed up about 25 points
to a record high.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
edged up to 2.62 percent from 2.59 percent
late Tuesday.
In its statement, the Fed said it will make
another $10 billion cut in the pace of its
Treasury and mortgage bond purchases,
which have been intended to keep long-
term borrowing rates low.
It also claried the process by which it
will eventually unwind its low-rate poli-
cies. The Fed said it would rst increase its
key short-term rate before it stops reinvest-
ing its bond holdings, which have driven
the Feds balance sheet to a record of nearly
$4.5 trillion.
On Wednesday, the central bank also
issued updated forecasts for growth, ina-
tion and interest rates.
The median short-term rate supported
by Fed policymakers at the end of 2015 is
now 1.38 percent, up from 1.13 percent
at its June meeting. This suggested pres-
sure from some Fed officials for a faster
rate increase than the Feds statement
implied.
The Fed also expects slower growth this
year and next than in its last projections
issued in June. It predicts that the economy
will grow about 2.1 percent this year, down
from its June forecast of roughly 2.2 per-
cent. That reduction likely reects the sharp
contraction in the rst quarter of this year.
The economy has rebounded solidly since
then.
On the eve of the Feds meeting this week,
the nancial world had been on high alert
for whether the Fed would reiterate that it
expects to keep its key short-term rate near
zero for a considerable time after the bond
buying ends.

Apple iOS 8 software
bug affects health apps
NEWYORK Abug in Apples new iOS 8
software for mobile devices is prompting
the company to withhold apps that use a
highly touted feature for keeping track of t-
ness and health data.
Apple says it hopes to have HealthKit
apps restored to its app store by the end of
the month. Affected apps include Carrot Fit,
WebMD and AskMD. Apple didnt provide
details on what went wrong.
The iOS 8 software became available
Wednesday. HealthKit is supposed to create
a central repository for health and tness
data, so that apps have a better picture of
your overall wellness and can even recom-
mend trips to the doctor.
Wells Fargo pays
$290,000 in sex harassment case
RENO, Nev. Wells Fargo Bank has
agreed to pay $290,000 to four tellers in
Nevada to settle a same-sex sexual harass-
ment case brought by the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.
The lawsuit led last year in U.S. District
Court in Reno accused a female manager and
female teller at a Reno bank branch of sub-
jecting the four women to a sexually hostile

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco drag
queens are sparring with Facebook over its
policy requiring people to use their real
names, rather than drag names such as Pollo
Del Mar and Heklina. But the worlds biggest
social network is not budging from its rules.
In recent weeks, Facebook has been delet-
ing the proles of self-described drag queens
and other performers who use stage names
because they did not comply with the social
networking sites requirement that users go
by their real names on the site.
On Wednesday, Facebook declined to
change its policy after meeting with drag
queens and a member of the San Francisco
board of supervisors. The company said is
usually deletes accounts with fake names after
investigating user complaints.
This policy is wrong and misguided, said
Supervisor David Campos, who was anked
by seven drag queens during a press confer-
ence at San Francisco City Hall.
The drag queens and others in the lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender community say
many Facebook account holders fear using
their real names for a variety of reasons,
including threats to their safety and employ-
ment.
I have crazy family members who I
dont want contacting me through
Facebook, said a self-described drag
queen who calls herself Heklina.
Facebook said it temporarily restored hun-
dreds of deleted accounts for two weeks. After
that theyll have to either change their name
to their real name, or convert their prole to
a fan page.
Campos and the drag queens, led by the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence a San
Francisco group of drag performers and
activists thats been around since 1979
say they plan another meeting with
Facebook and are hopeful that the company
will ultimately alter its policy.
If Facebook doesnt change its policy, the
drag queens at San Francisco City Hall
Wednesday said they would organize protests
and boycotts.
Abused women, bullied teens, transgender
people... (there are) a million different peo-
ple with a million different reasons to use
fake names, said Sister Roma, a member of
the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Facebook says it policy helps prevent
bad behavior, while creating a safer and more
accountable environment.
The company says performers and others
have other ways of keeping their stage iden-
tities on the site, including creating pages
that are meant for businesses and public g-
ures.
Many in the drag queen community are pro-
fessional performers who rely on Facebook
to publicize gigs. They said a fan page isnt
the same as a regular Facebook page.

With this seasons major roster changes and
the recent California Community College
Athletic Association realignment, the dynam-
ic between College of San Mateo and Butte
College is vastly different than it was a year
ago.
For CSM head coach Bret Pollack, that
dynamic doesnt undermine the importance of
the game albeit a nonconference matchup
for the rst time in over a decade between
the two CCCAApowerhouses.
If youre going to be good enough, youre
going to play them anyway, Pollack said.
Youll meet in the [playoffs].
While the Bulldogs and the Roadrunners
played out of the same NorCal Conference last
season as a result, they met in Week 8 with
Butte winning a 28-20 thriller their pairing
was essentially the community college ver-
sion of last years 49ers and Seahawks rivalry,
arguably the two strongest teams in the NFL
both playing out of the same division. Butte
went undefeated en route to a 2013 state cham-
pionship. CSM posted the second best record
in the state; at 10-1, the Bulldogs only loss
came at the hands of Butte on Nov. 2.
The teams did not meet in the playoffs how-
ever. By nishing in second place in the
NorCal, CSM did not qualify for the postsea-
son. Prior to this season, the conferences
were realigned with Butte remaining in the
NorCal North and CSM moving to the Bay 6.
While the two teams have much in common
in the way of roster turnover since last year,
the strength of schedules is vastly different.
Since opening the year with a 31-3 over
College of the Siskiyous, the Bullsdogs
schedule has gotten gradually stronger. They
faced Modesto Junior College (0-2) Saturday
in Week 2, handling the Pirates 51-26.
Butte, meanwhile, traveled to perennial
powerhouse Santa Rosa (2-0) last week, where
the Roadrunners lost Saturday 24-17. After
CSM to face defending state champ Butte
T
his is supposed to be the year.
After being in so-called salary
cap hell for the rst two seasons
of the Reggie McKenzie-Dennis Allen
era, 2014 was to be the season the
Oakland Raiders turned the corner and
start moving back toward respectability.
So far, however,
2014 has looked a
lot like 2012 and
2013. The Raiders
are off to a 0-2 start
and have not looked
good at all in
doing so. The
offense is struggling
to nd any kind of
rhythm, while the
defense has not
stopped either the
New York Jets in
Week 1 or the Houston Texans this past
weekend.
There have been very few positives for
the Raiders to this point and those rst
two performances have turned up the heat
on both Allen, the head coach, and gener-
al manager McKenzie.
Raider Nation, inevitably, will come up
with a silver lining, but objective
observers wont see much. The offense
was expected to have some issues with a
rookie starting at quarterback. But a lack
of any kind of effective running game has
forced Derek Carr to go to the air more
often.
The main reason running backs Darren
McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew have
had a hard time nding running lanes is
the very fact Oakland is starting a rst-
year player at quarterback. Defenses are
loading up to stop the run, daring the
Raiders to beat them through the air.
Unfortunately, the Raiders have very
few wide receivers who can actually catch
Raiders are
no closer to
contending

PHOENIX Someone had been to the cos-
tume shop, and Matt Duffy was about to put on
faux leather boots, chaps and a pink cowboy
hat to complete his travel ensemble.
The annual ritual of making rookies wear
unattering outts on one of the last road trips
of the season was underway in the Giants
clubhouse, but it hardly bothered Duffy.
I told them I feel so good right now, they
can dress me up in whatever they want, Duffy
said Wednesday after his pinch-hit single in
the ninth inning sent San Francisco to a 4-2
win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Duffy snapped a tie with a two-run single
and the Giants narrowed their gap in the NL
West, pulling within two games of the rst-
place Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost 16-2 at
Colorado. The contenders both have 10
games left.
Duffys hit came on a full count with the
bases loaded against closer Addison Reed (1-
6). Pablo Sandoval walked with one out,
Brandon Crawford singled and pinch-hitter
Brandon Belt walked, setting up Duffy.
Crawford had four hits.
Now 4 for 10 as a pinch hitter, Duffy did not
play in Triple-A this season and was called
straight up from Double-A on Aug. 1. Giants
manager Bruce Bochy showed faith in him in
a key situation during a playoff race.
When he shows condence in you, you
have condence in yourself, Duffy said. Its
a good feeling, denitely.
Bochy said Duffy has shown good compo-
sure since his call-up.
Thats not the rst time hes gotten a big
hit for us, Bochy said. I like him in that sit-
uation.
Sergio Romo (6-4) pitched one inning, and
Duffy batted for him. Santiago Casilla got his
17th save.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said
Reed was overworked.
This was his fth day in six either in the
game or heating up. He just didnt have it,
Gibson said.
Crawford hit an RBI double in the second for
a 1-0 lead.

Half Moon Bays Jackson Crane, left, who scored a team-high three goals, defends Woodsides Leo Franco-Muoz during a 13-7 Cougarswin.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Justin Ferdinand preaches defense to his
Half Moon Bay boys water polo team. The
team responded with a 13-7 victory
Wednesday at Woodside.
The Cougars improved their overall record
to 6-1 with a commanding rst-half effort.
The defensive backfield prowess of
Malcolm Feix and Garrett Kern helped Half
Moon Bay goalkeeper Michael Provinceo
deal a near shutout through the rst half of
play, until Woodside got on the board 18
seconds prior to halftime.
In the second half, Half Moon Bay emp-
tied the bench as Woodside rallied to make a
game of it. Mitchell Martin scored a match-
high four goals for the Wildcats while
Jackson Crane paced the Cougars with
three. Ferdinand estimated his defense
allowed just four shots on goal throughout
the rst half.
The style we play is defense first,
Ferdinand said. So, I wanted to dictate the
tempo. And the way we do that is to work
the high, hard press and try to steal the ball
as much as we can.
Provinceo is coming into his own as a
new varsity goalkeeper. With Half Moon
Bay losing two keepers from last years
team to graduation, Provinceo was promot-
ed from the junior-varsity ranks, where he
served as a field player last season.
Ferdinand said he worked through the sum-
mer with Provinceo to get him up to speed
for his junior season.
That was his fth game of the season.
So, hes come a long way, Ferdinand said.
Half Moon Bay has set a good tempo
heading into Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division play beginning next Wednesday at
Menlo-Atherton. Now seven games into its
season, a mismatch against Woodside was a
given. Not only are the Wildcats playing in
the lower Ocean Division this season,

Cardinals RB Dwyer arrested on assault charges
PHOENIX Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan
Dwyer was arrested Wednesday on aggravated assault
charges in connection with two altercations at his home in
July involving a woman and their 18-month-old child, the
latest in a string of such cases involving NFL players.
The Cardinals said they became aware of the situation on
Wednesday and are cooperating with the investigation.
Dwyer has been deactivated from all team activities. The
NFL said the case will be reviewed under the league's per-
sonal-conduct policy.
One of the counts was aggravated assault causing a frac-
ture involving the 27-year-old victim, whom they did not
identify. Police said they were carrying out a search warrant
of his residence in pursuit of more evidence.
Panthers remove DE Greg Hardy from active roster
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Panthers nally made a decision
on Greg Hardy: the Pro Bowl defensive end will not play any-
more games for Carolina until his domestic violence case is
resolved.
The team removed Hardy from its active roster Wednesday,
ending three weeks of indecision regarding his playing status.
He played Week 1, sat out Week 2 and there was uncertainty
about this week.
Hardy was convicted July 15 of assault on a female and com-
municating threats after the victim said the 6-foot-4, 275-
pound player threw her in the bathtub and onto a sofa covered
with guns before threatening to kill her. Hardy is appealing
the ruling and a jury trial is set for Nov. 17.
He will continue to be paid his weekly salary of
$770,588.23. Hardy also is allowed to be at the team facility,
but will not practice.
To get it right, Vikings put Peterson on leave
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Minnesota Vikings star running
back Adrian Peterson was declared out, back in, then out again
as he faces a felony child-abuse charge in Texas.
This time, he could be gone for the season.
We made a mistake, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said, and we
needed to get this right.
Vikings executives emerged Wednesday from a late-night
deliberation to voice regret of their initial decision to let
Peterson play this week after sitting him for a game once he
was charged with injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him
with a wooden switch.
During a 17-minute news conference at Vikings headquar-
ters, the word right was used a total of 34 times by the Wilfs,
vice president Kevin Warren and general manager Rick
Spielman. They expressed concern about child welfare, recog-
nized their role as public gures and reminded the audience of
the community service work done regularly by players.
Welker back on the eld after suspension lifted
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes
Welker was reinstated after the NFL agreed to a new perform-
ance-enhancing drug policy.
The widely respected 11-year NFLveteran had been suspend-
ed for four games but can return Sunday under the new rules in
which players who test positive for banned stimulants in the
offseason will no longer be suspended right away. Instead,
they will be referred to the substance-abuse program, where it
takes multiple positive tests before being banned.

OAKLAND Sean Doolittle allowed a
three-run homer to J.P. Arencibia during a six-
run ninth inning, and the Oakland Athletics
lost 6-1 to the last-place Texas Rangers on
Wednesday night.
It was the fourth blown save in 25 chances
for Doolittle (1-4) this season.
The bearded closers meltdown on the
mound negated a stellar start by Jeff
Samardzija and ended Oaklands two-year
reign as ALWest champions. The Los Angeles
Angels clinched the division with a 5-0 win
over Seattle and the loss by the As .
Oakland dropped into a tie with Kansas City
for the ALs top wild card. Seattle is two games
behind the As and Royals for the second and
nal berth.
Sam Fulds single in the fth drove in
Oaklands only run. Robbie Ross (3-6) got the
nal ve outs for the win.
Samardzija outpitched Derek Holland to put
the As in position to win. Samardzija struck
out 10 and allowed just four hits in eight
innings.
The hard-throwing righty has a 16-inning
scoreless streak, the longest of his career. As
well as he pitched, though, it wasnt enough
for the As to overcome another underwhelm-
ing performance at the plate.
Oakland left 10 runners on base. That
included loading the bases with no outs in the
eighth only to come up empty.
Elvis Andrus singled and scored on Rougned
Odors double to start the Rangers rally in the
ninth. After Adrian Beltre was intentionally
walked, Arencibias 10th home run silenced
the crowd of 17,530 at the Coliseum.
Doolittle was charged with ve of the six
runs.
Holland continued his remarkable return for
the Rangers after missing ve months follow-
ing offseason knee surgery. He gave up one
run, four hits and three walks in 6 1-3 innings.
In four starts this season, Holland has
allowed just three runs. But his latest outing
wasnt enough to outlast Samardzija, who pro-
vided a much-needed performance on the
mound after Oaklands sloppy 6-3 loss to
Texas on Tuesday night.
Samardzija stranded a runner on second in
the rst, third and fth. He worked fast and
looked in command from start to nish, even
enduring a brief delay for an umpire change.
Plate umpire Kerwin Danley took a foul tip
from Nick Punto off his facemask in the fth.
Danley was replaced by second base umpire
Mark Ripperger to start the sixth.
Samardzija has allowed no runs in ve of his
starts with the Cubs and As this season. He
hasnt won any of them.
Up next
Rangers: RHP Nick Martinez (3-11, 4.93
ERA) starts Thursdays series nale. Hes 2-5
with a 4.72 ERAin his last 10 starts.
Athl eti cs: RHP Sonny Gray (13-8, 3.18)
takes the mound for Oakland. He has allowed
four earned runs in 15 innings over his last
two starts.

SPORTS 13
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA As a rookie quarterback
seeking his first NFL win against Bill
Belichicks New England Patriots, Derek
Carr has too much to worry about himself to
focus on questions about his coachs job
security.
But if the Raiders dont start winning
soon, those questions about Dennis Allens
job will only get louder.
Instead of showing the progress that owner
Mark Davis had hoped to see this season in
the rst two games, the Raiders have shown
few signs of improvement in losing to the
New York Jets and Houston.
I dont get into those things, Carr said
about Allens job status.
I dont even talk about
them even to my family.
If it even tries to come up,
people want to ask ques-
tions, I dont even talk
about it, because my sole
focus is taking what
Coach Allen says, apply-
ing it to what I need to do,
and then spreading it out
and leading the offense. So as long as thats
going on, whatever the head man says, thats
what I go by.
Allen is in his third year as coach, having
won just four games in each of his rst two
seasons as the Raiders tore down the team he
and general manager Reggie McKenzie
inherited from late owner Al Davis.
But with more than $60 million in salary
cap room and a near full complement of draft
picks this offseason, the Raiders were hop-
ing to be able to rebuild quickly.
Instead they opened the season with a 19-
14 loss to the Jets that wasnt as close as the
nal score indicated and then fell behind 27-
0 after three quarters of a 30-14 loss to
Houston in the home opener.
That last game led veteran defensive back
Charles Woodson to say the team sucked
and he was embarrassed by the perform-
ance.
We need to go out and prove it on the
eld, Allen said. Talk is cheap. Weve got
to go out and play well. I think weve got
more talent on this football team and we need
to go out there and play like it on Sunday.
With a home game in London against
Miami following this weeks trip to New
England, Allen could be running out of time
to get things changed. He said he has not
talked with Davis this week, reporting as
usual to McKenzie in the normal chain of
command. He also said his only focus is on
getting ready for the Patriots.
Receiver Rod Streater said the only way to
deal with the questions is to silence them by
winning games.
We want to win, Streater said. We feel
like we have the right coaches, the staff. We
just have to continue to make the progress.
Stop killing ourselves making little mis-
takes and hurting ourselves. Once we do that,
I feel like we can be a really good team.
Raiders rookie Derek Carr focuses on job at hand
Derek Carr
Wednesdays matchup was their rst overall
game of the year. Woodside dropped its rst
scrimmage of year 9-3 Saturday against
Mills.
Were using this game to set the standard
for the season and to see what is expected of
us, Woodside head coach Raffi Alapont
said.
Alapont is in his rst year at Woodside.
He previously served as the girls head
coach at Saratoga High School. The
Wildcats open PAL Ocean Division play
Thursday against Hillsdale at Mills. Then
they travel to the Patriot 8 Tournament
Saturday at Brentwoods Heritage High
School.
We have a lot of work to do on offense
and defense, Alapont said.
In other PAL boys action, the Menlo
School boys topped Sequoia 20-6. Nikhil
Bhatia tabbed a match-high three goals for
the Knights (1-0 in PAL Bay Division, 2-0
overall) while goalkeepers Spencer Witte
and Will Crouch totaled 12 saves. The
Knights received goals from 12 different
players while Andreas Katsis paced the team
with ve assists.
Woodside girls rally late
The Lady Wildcats trailed most of the way
in Wednesdays PAL Bay Division opener,
but junior Mia Montalbano rallied
Woodside with two late goals to overtake
Half Moon Bay 12-10.
Montalbano scored a season-high four
goals and saved the best two for last.
Woodside trailed by as many as three goals
early on, but rallied back to tie it in the
fourth quarter. Terez Touhey scored her lone
goal of the match to tie it at 10-10 just
before she received a major-foul ejection.
Then Montalbano stepped up with back-to-
back midrange goals inside the last ve
minutes of the game. But Montalbano took
charge after the ejection of Woodsides best
player in Touhey.
I told the girls, Weve still got this,
Montalbano said. I just
tried to get us red up.
Yet the third-year var-
sity junior Montalbano
was still frustrated with a
shot she had blocked in
the waning seconds when
Half Moon Bays keeper
denied her the magic
number of five match
goals.
Her hands were so
long and she blocked it, Montalbano said.
Montalbanos mood of frustration is by
design; specically, the design of Woodside
head coach Laura Reynolds. Entering her
seventh year at the Wildcats varsity helm,
Reynolds earned Central Coast Section
Girls Water Polo Coach of the Year honors
last season after leading Woodside to its
second straight PAL Ocean Division title.
Despite her teams 4-1 overall record,
Reynolds is still intent on motivating her
squad after almost letting Wednesdays game
slip away.
Im trying to gure out how to kick our
girls butts, Reynolds said.
Reynolds was content with the mindset of
her team despite facing a decit throughout
the rst three quarters.
Its the rst time my girls have kept their
cool and not panicked, she said.
Woodside is relying on a new goalkeeper
this season in senior Cole Alves, who
tabbed 11 blocks and three steals. At 5-foot-
4, Alves isnt a prototypical goalkeeper,
but she was needed to replace graduated
2013 PALOcean Division Goalie of the Year
Emily Dunlap.
Our goalie rocked it today, Reynolds
said. Cole has been really nervous about
lling Emilys shoes, but she was amazing
today.
In non-league action, The Castilleja girls
downed Sequoia 8-1. Anna Yu had a match-
high four goals for Castilleja. In PAL Ocean
Division play, Aragon improved its league
record to 2-0 by downing Menlo 12-3. In
West Catholic Athletic League play, Sacred
Heart Prep (1-0 in WCAL, 7-0 overall)
defeated Presentation 15-2. Maddy Johnson
red a match-high ve goals for the Gators.

hosting CSM this week, Butte travels to
last years Valley North Conference champi-
on Fresno City College (2-0).
We usually play our best football at the
end of October, Butte head coach Jeff
Jordan said. Obviously, Id love to be play-
ing some of those schools later on. But I
think overall, the way is the structure is
now, I think it will be a positive thing in
the long run for all the programs.
Last season, Butte met CSM and Santa
Rosa in conference play. The isolated
Oroville-based school relies on many out-
of-area recruits to man its roster. Many of
its players do not arrive on campus until
August and privy to summer practices. It
doesnt give the Roadrunners a lot of time to
prepare for some of the states best teams.
With a barrage of freshman transfers,
Butte could certainly use the time. The road-
runner exported the 2013 NorCal
Conference Offensive Player of the Year,
quarterback Thomas Stuart, to Boise State.
The Roadrunners also transferred corner-
back Denzel Conyers to the University of
Maryland. And the teams top returning run-
ning back, Kendall Williams, was lost for
the season when he sustained a fractured hip
in the teams second scrimmage of the year.
When you lose three freshmen of that
caliber, theres some voids that need to be
lled, Jordan said. I think were in the
process of lling those. But were just not
to that stage yet.
The Roadrunners got a breakout perform-
ance from running back Marvel Harris in
their opening-week win 34-21 over Chabot
College. The sophomore totaled 134 yards
and a touchdown on 17 carries. However,
last week, he managed just 15 rushing
yards.
He brings some speed to it, Jordan said.
Hes a smaller back, and he runs very hard
but I dont know if he can hold up to being
that 24-25-carries-a-game type of running
back. So, were going to have to move the
ball around a little bit to keep him from
being injured.
Butte ultimately utilized four backs, run-
ning for 103 yards in the game. Santa Rosa
triumphed in total yards, outgaining Butte
500-260.
CSM has relied on a surprise rusher
through the opening weeks as well in quar-
terback Jeremy Cannon. The freshman
motored for a team-high 99 running yards
last week, with most of his carries coming
via designed runs, according to Pollack.
He looked strong and explosive in the
game, Pollack said. I thought he looked
better than he did against Siskiyous running
the ball.
Pollack welcomes going up against Butte
in nonconference play some ve weeks
earlier than last year.
I want stronger opponents early,
Pollack said. I think thats good for us
early. Its what I wanted.
CSM
PATRICK NGUYEN
CSM quarterback Jeremy Cannon rushed for a team-high 99 yards in the Bulldogs51-26 win
over Modesto last Saturday night. CSM improved to 2-0 with the win.
the ball. James Jones, a free agent pickup
from the Green Bay Packers, is the teams
most procient pass catcher. After that,
tight end Mychal Rivera could develop into
a decent weapon.
The rest of the receiving corps? It
appears the only thing at which they are
good is dropping passes.
As bad as the Raiders offense has been
averaging 14 points per game the
defense has been even worse. Despite
spending millions trying to shore up the
defensive side of the ball with a slew of free
agent signings, teams are still basically
doing whatever they want. Most distress-
ing is the Raiders inability to stop the
opposing teams run game. The Jets shred-
ded them for 212 yards, while the Texans
gouged them for 188. Not stopping the run
means the opposition controls the clock
and keeps the Raiders offense off the eld.
Not an ideal way to win ball games.
And things have a chance to get worse.
Sunday, Oakland travels to New England to
face an angry Patriots squad. Oakland is 0-
14 in games in the Eastern time zone. That
is followed by a home game in London
against the Miami Dolphins. There is a
good chance the Raiders could start the sea-
son 0-4.
If that happens, look for at least one
change that being the ring of Allen,
who built a reputation as a defensive coor-
dinator with the Denver Broncos, which
makes the Raiders defensive deciencies
even more ironic.
The Raiders have a former NFL head
coach on staff, Tony Sparano, who was the
head man at Miami. It would be very easy
to just slide him into the head spot in
Oakland.
Two more losses could also mean the end
of McKenzies tenure as well, although that
move probably would not happen until the
end of the season. McKenzie learned the
player personnel game under former Green
Bay Packers G.M. Ron Wolf.
Apparently he didnt learn much because
hes swung and missed more often than
not, not only in the draft but in free agency
as well. The last two years, he has traded
for a veteran quarterback who was to come
in and be the savior. Last year, it was Matt
Flynn. This season, it is Matt Schaub. Not
only has neither panned out, the two com-
bined for only one start.
To take some of the pressure off, Oakland
needs to be at least competitive over the
next two weeks. But if the last 34 games
are any indication, dont hold your breath.

The Half Moon Bay community lost a
beloved member of the family when Half
Moon Bay High School defensive line
coach Rocky Perry passed away Saturday.
He was 58 years old.
According to reports, Perry suffered an
apparent heart attack before the Cougars
game against Monterey two weeks ago. A
source told me last week that he was
improving, but the Half Moon Bay Review
reported he suffered another heart attack
last Thursday and passed away two days
later, hours after the Cougars posted their
rst win of the season, a 59-27 win over
Santa Clara.
The Review also reported a Memorial

Fan heckling Harper in
Atlanta ejected by umpire
Umpire Tim Welke heard a foul-mouthed
fan heckling Bryce Harper and decided it was
time for the man to go.
Welke took off his mask, pointed to the
fan and ejected him from Turner Field in
Atlanta during Tuesday nights game
between the Washington Nationals and
Braves.
Theres no place for that, Welke told the
Associated Press on Wednesday. Forget
that it was directed at that player. Enough is
enough.
The longtime crew chief said he saw the
fan come down to the backstop and start
shouting in the sixth inning. Welke turned
around, identied the man and had an usher
escort him away.
Hey! Hey! Get rid of that guy! Welke can
be heard on video from the game. Get rid of
him now! Get rid of him!
Welke said Harper thanked him the next
time he came up. The umpire said he told the
Nationals star: Its OK to boo ya, but its
not OK to use that kind of language.

Andrew Chan, making his second
major league start, tied it in the
Arizona second with an RBI single
off Madison Bumgarner. The hit came
in Chans rst big league at-bat.
Bumgarner labored through six
innings, allowing at least two
baserunners in the rst three. Trying
for his 19th win, he gave up seven
hits and struck out six.
I was having to battle and try to
make pitches and keep us in the
game, Bumgarner said. Fortunately,
I was able to do it.
The Giants took the lead in the fth
thanks to an ineld hit, a walk, a wild
pitch and a pair of sacrices that pro-
duced one run.
Bumgarner gave up the tying run in
the bottom of the fth, when A.J.
Pollock ran home on a thrown third
strike that bounced to Giants catcher
Andrew Susac.
Susac threw out Mark Trumbo at
rst base, but Pollock hustled to the
plate on the throw and beat Buster
Poseys return throw to Susac.
Chan allowed two runs on three
hits with four walks and two strike-
outs in six innings.

Extended warranties a big
sell. But are they worth it?
By Carole Feldman
WASHINGTON Offers of
extended warranties or service
contracts are becoming the norm,
whether you buy a big-ticket item
like a car or kitchen appliance or a
less expensive one like a televi-
sion or phone.
The plans basically are insur-
ance policies in case something
goes wrong, but they come at a
price.
Federal Trade Commission staff
attorney Svetlana Gans says con-
sumers should research a service
plan before deciding whether to
buy an extended warranty. But she
acknowledges that could be dif-
cult, since many of them are
offered at the same time the prod-
uct is purchased.
The FTC says on its website that
a service contract might not be
worth the price.
And Anthony Giorgianni, asso-
ciate nance editor of Consumer
Reports Money Adviser newslet-
ter, says, You can go broke basi-
cally insuring everything you
buy.
So how do you decide whether to
purchase one?
I would definitely look at
the duration and when the cov-
erage act ual l y st art s, Gans
says. If it begins immediately,
does it overlap with the manu-
facturers warranty?
Also, consider whether the serv-
ice plan costs more than repairs
would, she says.
Find out whats covered and
whats excluded, Gans advises.
Does it cover spilling coffee on
your computer keyboard, for
example, or just defects in the
device itself?
And if something goes wrong,
where do you le a claim or bring
the product for repair? This is
important since many service-
contract providers are third par-
ties, not the stores where the item
was purchased, she says.
One of those providers is
SquareTrade, which offers protec-
tion plans for a range of smart-
phones, computers, electronics,
home appliances and other prod-
ucts. Ty Shay, the companys
chief marketing ofcer, says pur-
chasing a protection plan is an
individual decision how you
feel about the item and whether
you can live without it.
Shay said the company has sold
tens of millions of protection
plans, working with retailers like
Costco, Sams Club and Amazon;
you can also buy its plans online.
SquareTrades plans are for prod-
ucts bought within the previous
30 days.
They cover accidents, drops,
spills and other malfunctions, but
not loss or theft. If you have a
problem with an iPhone, for
example, SquareTrade gives you
the option of getting a replace-
ment phone overnight or taking
the phone to an Apple store for
repairs and then being reimbursed
for the cost to x it.
For repairs on appliances,
Square Trades protection plans
provide in-home service, Shay
says.
Consumer Reports Giorgianni
doesnt think service contracts are
worth the money.
Youre basically paying a fee
on the possibility that the thing
may malfunction, break or other
ways go bad in ways that will con-
form to the ne print in that cov-
erage, he says.
Consumers would be better off,
he says, amassing a repair fund
should something go wrong. I
love extended warranties and serv-
ice contracts but only the ones
you sell yourself, he says. Look
at the price of that contract and put
the money in the bank and hold it
there.
Some consumers might have
another option: extended cover-
age through home insurance.
All personal property under the
homeowner policy could be cov-
ered, as well as the main systems
of the home, says Rebecca
Galovich, assistant vice president
of personal lines at Hartford Steam
Boiler, which provides home-sys-
tems protection coverage.
Insurance coverage is designed
for the accidents regardless of the
cause, she says. It could be
human error. It could be improper
maintenance.
For example, she says, a at-
screen TV might fall off the wall.
Your warranty is not going to
cover that type of event.
Galovich says HSB works with
more than 200 property and casu-
alty companies to provide cover-
age, but the company wouldnt
identify them. She suggested that
consumers ask their insurance
providers whether the coverage is
available.
For repairs on appliances, Square Trades protection plans provide in-home service.

Although the thought of sleeping with
millions of dust mites microscopic
arachnids that feast on akes of skin is
just plain gross, its something most peo-
ple can handle without worry. After all, our
bodies are inhabited by multitudes of bacte-
ria, to which we seldom give a thought.
For the many people who suffer from
allergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite
feces and body parts can lead to chronic
sinus problems and coughing, among other
symptoms. If gone untreated, the problem
can escalate to eczema and asthma, particu-
larly in children, according to James
Sublett, president-elect of the American
College of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology.
The sooner you intervene, the less like-
ly the problems are to escalate, he said.
Luckily, homes can be made more livable
for allergy-sufferers and less amenable to
dust mites in just a few steps.
About a quarter of Americans suffer from
some sort of allergy and of those one-half
to two-thirds are sensitive to dust-mite
allergens, according to Sublett, making it
one of the most common causes of aller-
gies.
Around the world, dust mites are the most
common indoor allergen, said Robert
Wood, director of the pediatric allergy and
immunology division of Johns Hopkins
University.
If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the
rst step is to get tested by an allergist.
While periodically replacing all your bed-
ding might seem to make sense, experts say
its unnecessary for those without allergies
and insufcient for allergy sufferers.
Instead, these tips from allergists can
help make any home friendlier to those with
indoor allergies, dust mites included:
1. Keep It Dry. One of the biggest and
most common mistakes people make is to
install vaporizers and humidiers, Sublett
said. Moisture can and does cause all kinds
of problems. Dust mites cant survive in
Making the indoors safer for allergy sufferers

As the bumper sticker on my truck
reads, Compost Happens.
Sometimes, however, it doesnt hap-
pen fast enough.
That problem usually can be traced to
some limiting factor in what a pile is
fed, or to issues of moisture or aera-
tion.
FEED YOUR PILE
Compost piles work most quickly if
the two most important foodstuffs
carbon and nitrogen are in balance.
Old, usually brown and dry plant mate-
rials, such as autumn leaves, straw, hay
and sawdust, are rich in carbon. The
older the plant material, the more car-
bon it has. Nitrogen-rich materials
include succulent, green plant parts,
such as tomato stalks, vegetable waste
from the kitchen and grass clippings,
as well as manures. Nitrogen fertilizers
are concentrated sources of nitrogen,
and are the active ingredient of com-
mercial compost activators.
As autumn approaches, an excess of
compostable materials rich in carbon
build up, so the way to speed up com-
posting of piles built in the next few
weeks is to add supplemental nitrogen.
No need to balance nitrogen and car-
bon materials exactly, because
microorganisms will eventually do it
for you, albeit slowly if the excess is
of carbon foods.
Also, theres more at play than just
carbon and nitrogen ratios. Particle
sizes, for instance. Chopping the raw
materials gives microorganisms more
surface area to chew on initially. A
machete is a handy, cheap and satisfy-
ing tool for this job.
QUENCH YOUR PILES THIRST
Another frequent cause of a sluggish
compost pile is insufcient moisture.
Sun and wind dry out piles that are free-
Compost Happens: Tips for making it happen right
If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the rst step is to get tested by an allergist.
Any pile of living or once-living materials will eventually turn to compost.

less than 50 percent humidity, so buy a
humidity meter and, if needed, a dehumidi-
fier to keep humidity to between 35 per-
cent and 50 percent. Just three hours
above that level of humidity, though, is
enough to keep the dust mites alive, he
said.
2. Rip out the rugs and ditch the drapes.
Carpet and heavy drapes are a reservoir for
allergens like dust mites and should be
removed, particularly in bedrooms. If
removing them isnt an option, the
American College of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology recommends frequent vacu-
uming using a HEPA (high-efficiency par-
ticulate air) filter.
ALLERGY
standing or enclosed by wire mesh. Asolid-
walled bin speeds things along by holding in
moisture and generated warmth.
Theres often not enough water when you
gather together quantities of dry materials,
such as autumn leaves. The cure, of course, is
to add water, and an effective way to do this is
by adding raw materials in layers, watering
each layer as the pile grows.
LET YOUR PILE BREATHE
The opposite condition, too much water,
also slows composting. And soggy ingredi-
ents lead to another common composting
problem a pile that gives off offensive
odors or attracts ies. When too much water
gets into a compost pile, air is displaced and
a new set of microorganisms go to work, ones
that work slowly and malodorously.
The cure for a waterlogged pile is aeration,
accomplished either by stirring the pile, or
by turning and rebuilding it. Rotating drum
bins make it especially easy to stir ingredi-
ents.
Odors due to poor aeration also result when
piles contain too many dense, succulent, raw
materials, such as grass clippings or kitchen
waste. These materials compound the odor
problem because they are rich in nitrogen,
which is vented off as ammonia. In this case,
turning the pile and adding some uffy, high-
carbon material, such as straw, puts things in
order.

number one by the council and would cost
$10 million to $20 million. The Community
Center was ranked number two and would cost
$35 million to $40 million. City Hall safety
improvement ranked third and would cost
$11.5 million. Number four was the $4 mil-
lion Bayview Park, while a $1.6 million
police station improvement ranked fth.
Sixth was the $25 million downtown
streetscape that would expand the streetscape
of Burlingame Avenue to the rest of down-
town. The councils preferences combined
with results from an online survey, show a
parking structure is being a number one need,
Bayview Park as being the number two need
and the downtown streetscape as being the
third most critical need. Additionally, operat-
ing costs can go up when new facilities are
built, according to a staff report.
The city wants to move forward as quickly
as possible with City Hall and City Manager
Lisa Goldman said she believes the particular
piece of property is valuable. Ross Bruce, of
AVR Realty on Broadway, said hed like to
see a City Hall plaza with parking below and
housing above, increasing height levels
might be way to get parking.
It would be really cool place to live,
Bruce said. It would be really fun.
I personally wouldnt agree with City Hall
being ranked third, said Councilwoman Ann
Keighran. I like the idea of doing one big
project and one small project. I feel like
theres so many factors; Im not exactly sure
where to start.
Councilmembers threw out the idea of a
public/private partnership for building some
of the infrastructure needs. Keighran noted
the city needs to keep in mind that the public
may not be interested in increased density.
Some are interested in a public/private part-
nership for City Hall, Goldman said.
Funding is one of the number one concerns
for council. Aside from public/private part-
nerships, nancing options include debt
nancing, a pay-as-you-go approach, tax
revenue increases such as parcel taxes, utili-
ty user taxes, sales tax increases or a busi-
ness license ordinance overall and various
bonds.
I dont advocate for raising sales taxes,
but the county is at its limit, so I dont think
its an option, said Mayor Michael
Brownrigg. We do have a proposal to build
the city a parking structure for free; we could
explore that approach.
One developer approached the city during a
study session and said if the city gave him
two parking lots, he would then build a park-
ing structure and mixed-use project on anoth-
er parcel, Nagel said.
There are a lot of variables on deciding how
to nance and choose which projects to pri-
oritize, Nagel said.
When were shaping any kind of proposal
that requires public approval, were going to
have to mix and match a little bit to make it
attractive, she said. I do think we should
try to explore the partnerships as rapidly as
possible. Lets face it, were not going to get
much of this done unless we get creative.
In terms of adding needed parking down-
town, Nagel said two structures on different
sides might better serve the public.
Meanwhile, Ortiz noted the rankings for
project priorities may change as time goes
on, so its important to stay flexible.
Brownrigg agreed.
I dont want to be locked into this priori-
ties list, Brownrigg said. It has taken us a
pretty long time to get here and I want to
keep the momentum.
One way of keeping this momentum going
is to put out a request for proposals for the
City Hall and a parking structure, Goldman
said.
PROJECTS
said. With about nine ofcers now on long-
term disability, an increasing number opting
to take positions in other cities and an aver-
age of 3.5 employees retiring each year, these
stafng changes should help keep the depart-
ment ahead of the curve, Decker said.
A lot of things have changed, the market
has changed. In 2012 staff in the police
department did what we had to do to support
the nancial situation of the city. It was the
right thing to do, Decker said. Now, other
agencies are doing things, giving incentives
and doing what they can to retain their of-
cers. ... What it comes down to, we want to
have the most competitive packages we can
because we want to attract top-tier candi-
dates.
The competition is exacerbated by the San
Francisco Police Department looking to hire
500 new ofcers and the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce seeking 50 new deputies, in
part to staff the new jail, Decker and City
Manager Larry Patterson said.
As the cost of living has increased and hir-
ing lateral employees has become more com-
petitive, San Mateo can prepare for expected
vacancies by seeking men and women who are
entering the police academy, Patterson said.
Weve had some recent success from brin-
ing ofcers over as laterals, but theres a lim-
ited pool of ofcers prepared to make a move
and theres still other agencies out there com-
peting for them. So what weve found, in
essence, it was better to nd and train our own
ofcers, Patterson said.
The entire process from when an ofcer
enters the academy and completes eld train-
ing typically takes more than a year and by
approaching trainees in advance, the city can
readily ll vacancies when they arise,
Patterson said.
Hiring ofcers early on can also strengthen
and mold the police culture in San Mateo,
Patterson and Decker said.
We get to go vet the top recruits in the
academy, we get them early on as opposed to
late in the game, Decker said. We essential-
ly get San Mateo patches on their shoulders as
soon as possible. The advantage is essential-
ly getting them committed to the city of San
Mateo and the police department at the very
onset of their career and we can probably get
them in here and hopefully have them for 25
years.
Patterson agrees the new stafng model of
approaching younger recruits could help the
city prepare for the future.
In the time between when we extend the
offer and when they get into work, theyll be
lling a vacancy that [we] would otherwise be
waiting a year to ll, Patterson said.
Another factor fueling San Mateos reevalu-
ation of how it staffs its police department is
the lack of affordability growing in the Bay
Area and along the Peninsula.
Weve lost ofcers because of the com-
mute, because agencies closer to them offered
competitive packages. Its difcult certainly
with the cost of living, thats been the case for
the 16 years Ive been here, and certainly
within the last few years ... its been exagger-
ated, Decker said.
Patterson said the police department sacri-
ced two full-time positions during the reces-
sion and Decker said ofcers continued to
remain dedicated to the force. But with the
economy improving and the competition
intensifying, Decker said he hopes the citys
expenditures for three new positions will ease
the departments stafng crunch.
We have ofcers that stay late or come in
early and theyre willing to do what they can
to keep the city safe. ... But what were look-
ing to do is get ahead of the vacancies,
Decker said. I hope this gets us ahead of the
game and I hope this gets us caught up.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Color and decorative pieces can improve
the look of a home outside as well as in. Add
trim boards, columns or porch accessories
and you can dress up the facade of a house,
improving its value and curb appeal.
Just be sure to consider the homes style,
age and location.
The style of the house drives the type of
materials you might add, said architect
Carolyn Dias of Lampert Dias Architects in
San Clemente, California. A cottage cant
be transformed to a Spanish Colonial.
Neighborhood associations or local build-
ing departments also might impose restric-
tions on what can be done to a homes exte-
rior and what paint colors can be used.
In any case, pay attention to how neigh-
boring homes look when changing yours.
You want your house to look like it belongs,
said Shari Hiller of PBS Around the House
with Matt and Shari.
She recommends scouting nearby streets
for inspiration.
PAINT
See what paint colors the neighbors have
chosen, what features they are highlighting
and how many colors they have used.
Hiller typically recommends just two to
four colors for a houses exterior. Often,
homeowners choose one color for the bulk
of the house; similar or complementary col-
ors for windows, gutters and other trim
pieces; and a pop of contrasting color on the
door or shutters.
Highlighting the door or shutters with
color is an easy way to make a big impact,
said Hiller.
And drawing attention to the front door is
always a good idea. You want people to
notice where guests generally enter your
home, she explained. Its nice to make a
statement there.
Consider the roof color as well, she added.
Roofs tend to be in either cool or warm col-
ors, and your paint choice should be in the
same family.
Where you live could drive your choices.
Florida houses tend to be painted in a differ-
ent palette often shades of peach, beige
and gold than homes in New England or
the Midwest, for example, said Hiller, who
lives in Sarasota. Some colors, such as
maroon and other earthy shades, make more
sense on Colonial homes than coastal cot-
tages, which are often painted in ocean-
inspired blues and greens, she said.
Paint stores can provide ideas about what
colors are right for different building styles.
TRIM AND OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS
Veneers layers of material added after
construction that do not offer structural sup-
port are another way to change the out-
side of a home. Adding a wood, brick or
stone veneer creates color and texture, Dias
said. Veneers cost about $10 to $20 a square
foot.
There are many kinds of veneers and they
are fairly easy to apply, Dias said.
Exterior wainscoting panels are another
way to add interest to a facade. The panels,
usually embellished with a raised or recessed
design, can draw attention to a window,
porch or other architectural detail.
If you have a front porch, you can create a
new look by adding or embellishing its
columns, said Dave Morris of Nashville,
Tennessee, who operates the website
www.front-porch-ideas-and-more.com .
Changes can be simple, like hanging
decorative brackets where the columns
meet the roof, or complex, like installing
columns or adding stone or brickwork to
them. Morris, too, emphasizes staying true
to the architectural style of your home. For
example, dont add Victorian-style ginger-
bread trim to a modern house.
Brackets and balusters come in a variety
of materials and styles.
Think about what effect you want to
have something subtle or something
that really stands out, Morris said.
When Lynn and Dennis Zawie decided to
add rails and balusters to the porch that runs
around two sides of their 1925 Dutch
Colonial house, they wanted the trim
pieces to look as original as possible. The
Stony Brook, New York, residents visited
lumber yards and big-box stores, and
looked at dozens of photos of houses
online.
I really wanted it to look like it had been
here forever, said Lynn Zawie. I was very
concerned about changing the look and the
feel of the house.
The couple nally decided to go with
wood balusters, even though they would
require more upkeep. The addition of 300
white balusters and a stained-wood top rail-
ing dramatically improved the look of the
home, they say.
It just adds to it, she said. It makes it
stand out more.
Exterior decorating: Updating with paints, trims
Pay attention to how neighboring homes look when changing yours. You want your house
to look like it belongs.

EHC took a step back from its plans
in March after the owners of the
blighted Charter Square retail site were
confronted by negative community
feedback while presenting a proposal
at a City Council study session early in
the year, Councilman Herb Perez said.
When they watched what happened
with Charter Square, they realized they
should probably go out and get com-
munity input, Perez said. Thats
responsible development. Those are
guys that want to be community part-
ners.
EHC has adjusted its preliminary
proposal to include 59,300 square feet
of retail space with 272 parking
spaces, 150 waterfront townhomes and
ats with 244 parking spaces and a res-
idential rooftop pool and garden,
Community Development Director
Curtis Banks said.
The new proposal has recongured
the site by having the commercial and
housing spaces primarily separated
with only a small portion of the retail
below a few residential units, Banks
said.
Currently, the shopping center at
Edgewater and Beach Park boulevards
covers about 123,300 square feet split
between about 35 stores and business,
which includes a Lucky Supermarket, a
nail salon, two tutoring centers, two
dry cleaners, a bank and several restau-
rants.
Many of the businesses at Edgewater
have long-term leases and the hope is
some will be able to remain after the
redevelopment, Perez said.
Perez, who runs a martial arts studio
at Edgewater, said he will have to
recuse himself from voting on any
proposal but was happy with the way
EHC is incorporating outside input and
hosting meetings.
In general terms, whether its [EHC]
or someone else, the very rst thing
they should do is community outreach
and the reason is, Foster City is a
small community that values its quali-
ty of life, Perez said. Why would you
come up with a plan in a vacuum and
hope that it passes?
Thus far, EHC has held at least one
meeting with a neighboring
Homeowners Association and will
hold another this Friday and the fol-
lowing, said Stan Lew, lead architect
on the project.
We think its good that the immedi-
ate neighbors know so far what the
plans are for the center and whats
being discussed and considered, Lew
said.
The plans are conceptual and prelim-
inary and although the recent meetings
are geared toward neighboring resi-
dents and businesses, EHC welcomes
communitywide feedback and will like-
ly come before council in October, Lew
said.
EHC declined to comment further on
the project until the process is farther
along.
Perez said he attended one of the
meetings and tenants were concerned
about which would be able to stay after
the redevelopment. The public com-
ment varied, but generally residents
expressed concerns about the impacts
of additional housing such as the
effects on the already overcrowded
schools, Perez said.
How many more units of housing
can we reasonably absorb before it
affects our quality of life? And thats a
huge concern I hear from our residents
every time housing is proposed,
Perez said. Smart growth is vertical,
thats environmentally sound. But in
this city, were horizontal, nobody
wants more people, nobody wants the
trafc that goes along with it.
Perez noted the city has received
numerous redevelopment proposals in
recent years, including the Marina
Center, Charter Square, the 15-acre-
site and Pilgrim Triton. With the
expansion of Gilead and 800,000
square feet of ofce space proposed at
Chess-Hatch, new employees will need
places to live, Perez said.
The quality of Foster Citys life
comes at a cost and the question is how
do we maintain that quality of life
without maintain revenue sources. And
the only thing we have left is property
taxes and redevelopment property
taxes, Perez said. The most success-
ful [retail] is Edgewater Plaza. But even
there, what it gets is property taxes
from 30 years [ago]. Anything that
gets redeveloped we get infinitely
more property tax from.
As EHC is requesting a land use
amendment from commercial to mixed
use, the proposal is bound by the
citys new gatekeeper ordinance by
which it will rst be heard by the City
Council before the developer turns in a
formal application, Banks said.
Although there is no rm timeline,
EHC could come before the City
Council with its proposal as early as
October, Banks said.
EHC will hold its next neighbor-
hood meeting 2:30 p.m. Friday, at
Chevys Fresh Mex Restaurant at 979
Edgewater Blvd., Foster City.
INPUT
event.
Tasting opportunities are hosted by a
range of businesses such as a coffee
shop, jewelry store, bank and book-
store. The typically non-alcohol serv-
ing establishments are available by the
DSMAsecuring a one-day liquor license
for each of the 18 participants, Bednarik
said.
However, unfortunately per the
California Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control, Saturdays tastings
cannot be held at downtown restaurants
unless theyre willing to trade in their
regular liquor license for a temporary
Wine Walk one, Bednarik said.
In past years, they really werent
able to participate. So last year we just
reached out and said hey, why dont you
team up with one of the merchants and
offer some sort of food pairing?
Bednarik said. People get to learn more
about downtown restaurants and restau-
rants can take the opportunity from any-
where from 800 to 900 people strolling
downtown and being hungry after sip-
ping wine for three hours.
Fusion Peruvian Grill, 31st Union,
Block 34 and Vault 164 have donated
food pairings and there will three hydra-
tion stations with complimentary water
bottles set up at businesses during the
event.
Bednarik has been the primary organ-
izer of this years event since the
DSMAs previous executive director
Jessica Evans unexpectedly resigned in
July. Currently, the DSMAis still nal-
izing its desired qualications for a new
director and will be accepting applica-
tions soon, Bush said.
More than 80 volunteers, including
people from College of San Mateo and
city staff, are supporting the Wine
Walk, said Donna Divodi, who works in
the city managers ofce and is a volun-
teer coordinator for the Wine Walk.
We have a great volunteer spirit here,
theres no question, in the city of San
Mateo, Divodi said. Community
engagement is really what volunteering
is all about, it brings the community
closer together.
The proceeds from the event go back
to the community by helping fund other
annual DSMA events such as the free
Halloween Fun Fest and Christmas on
North B Street, Bednarik said. Overall,
the event draws people from all over the
Bay Area to enjoy a unique and intimate
afternoon celebrating what downtown
San Mateo has to offer, Bednarik said.
The merchants that are participating
have participated for years and they
look forward to this event, theres
wineries from all over the Bay Area.
Its just a fun, relaxing three-hour event
and way to spend your day, Bednarik
said. And we encourage people to stay
after the Wine Walk and either dine
downtown, go see a movie or take a
stroll through Central Park.
The 18th annual Downtown San
Mateo Wine Walk is 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 20. Tickets are $30 in

box. You will be pleasantly surprised by a new or
unusual venture presented to you. Dont be afraid

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) An unexpected
change will result in an exciting venture. Find a way to
incorporate the old and the new into your plans for the
future, to better suit your needs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will need to
take good care of nancial matters. A joint venture
will have an unfavorable outcome. An in-depth look at
your documents and records will ensure that nothing
has been overlooked.

relationship will cause dissatisfaction. Dont get
sidetracked from your professional duties. Once you
are outside the workplace, you will have more time to
do some soul-searching.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Social activities, love
and romance are all highlighted. Dont be afraid to
show your romantic side. An escape from your regular
routine will contribute to a happier personal life.

will shine in dealings with those you care about. Feel
condent to enable benecial changes to take place.

active role and see your commitments through to
completion. A leadership position will be offered and

others dont see things your way. Keep on top of your
professional responsibilities. Maintain your focus, be
diligent and accept the changes that lie ahead.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep busy and avoid
trouble. If you are too idle, you will end up stressing
over personal problems that you cannot x. Avoid
emotional scenes by pursuing your own projects.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can show generosity
without opening your wallet. Offer your time and
advice rather than money. Your nancial situation will
deteriorate if you are too free with your cash.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California at its regu-
lar meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, starting at 7:00 p.m. at 1555 Crystal Springs Blvd (the
Senior Center), San Bruno, held a Public Hearing regarding adoption of three ordinances to
amend the Municipal Code to implement Housing Element programs pursuant state housing ele-
ment law, Government Code (section 65580-65590). The City Council considered taking the fol-
lowing actions, summarized as follows:
(1) add Chapter 12.240 to establish a Reasonable Accommodation Process for persons with dis-
abilities; (2) add Chapter 12.250 to establish a Density Bonus Program; and (3) amend Section
12.80.445 to add Transitional Housing and Supportive Housing as permitted uses within the defi-
nition of Special Residential Care Facility. The City Council waived the first reading and intro-
duced the ordinances for adoption by the following vote: Ibarra, Medina, OConnell, Salazar,
Mayor Ruane, all ayes. Then at the City Councils regular meeting on September 9, 2014, they
waived the second reading and introduced the ordinances for final adoption by the following vote:
Ibarra, Medina, OConnell, Salazar, Mayor Ruane, all ayes.
Ordinance Summary:
The Citys current 2007-2014 Housing Element includes three programs designed to implement
state law requirements and to support the City goal to plan for decent housing and a suitable liv-
ing environment to meet the existing and project housing needs of all economic segments of the
community. State law requires the City to adopt these changes during the current Housing Ele-
ment cycle. The three ordinances are summarized below:
Reasonable accommodations. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to establish
a procedure to make reasonable accommodations (i.e., modifications or exceptions) that afford
disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
Density bonus. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to incorporate State Densi-
ty Bonus Law into the land use code, including defining incentives such as reductions in open
space and setbacks, etc. The law allows developers who offer affordable units in their develop-
ments a density bonus, enabling the construction of more units than the zoning ordinance would
typically permit, as well as incentives and waivers for reductions in development standards to fa-
cilitate the construction of affordable units.
Transitional and supportive housing. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code
defini-
tion of special residential care facilities to include transitional and supportive housing, allowed
by right in residential zones. Transitional housing is defined as rental housing, which may be des-
ignated for homeless individuals or families transitioning to permanent housing, for stays of at
least six months and re-circulated to another program recipient after a set period. Supportive
housing has no limit on the length of stay, is linked to onsite or offsite services, and is occupied
by a target population such as low income persons with physical or mental disabilities.

JERUSALEM A deal reached on war-
battered Gazas reconstruction is set to be
implemented in the coming months, with
the amount of building materials entering
the territory expected to quadruple, a U.N.
ofcial said Wednesday, in the rst details
of the agreement to emerge.
James Rawley, a U.N. Mideast envoy,
said that under a mechanism agreed to by
the Palestinians, Israel and the U.N., up to
800 truckloads of construction materials
will enter Gaza per day a jump from the
200 or so trucks that enter now, he said.
This facilitates recovery and reconstruc-
tion of Gaza and were hoping that this step
in the right direction will set the stage for
an even more meaningful opening of the
crossings, Rawley, the deputy U.N. envoy
for the Mideast peace process, told the
Associated Press.
The details of the deal are a crucial part of
Gazas rebuilding after the 50-day war this
summer that pulverized parts of the territo-
ry, flattening entire neighborhoods and
reducing houses to rubble. The agreement
comes ahead of a donor conference in
Egypt next month, where international
benefactors will be looking for guarantees
that their pledges materialize into actual
construction. Palestinian officials esti-
mate rebuilding Gaza could cost $6 bil-
l i on.
The U.N. says some 18,000 homes were
destroyed or severely damaged in the ght-
ing. More than 2,100 Palestinians were
killed in the war, about three-fourths of
them civilians, according to Palestinian
and U.N. ofcials. On the Israeli side, 66
soldiers and six civilians were killed. Israel
and Hamas agreed to a cease-re last month.
Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on
Gaza after Hamas overran the territory in
2007. The embargo was meant to isolate
the Islamic militant Hamas and perhaps
loosen its grip on power.
Trade and travel has been severely
restricted, and the entry of goods includ-
ing construction materials has also been
limited. Israel says Hamas has in the past
diverted cement and steel imported for
schools and homes for military purposes,
including to build underground tunnels used
in attacks against Israel.
Rawley said the U.N. will monitor the
goods from their point of purchase to the
end user in Gaza, addressing Israeli security
concerns that the materials could be used by
Hamas militants.
He said that building in Gaza requires
Israel to approve some 100 million dol-
lars worth of projects, something that the
new deal does not address, although talks
are taking place on the issue.

MONROVIA, Liberia People critically
ill with Ebola languishing in an ambulance
for hours as paramedics seek a place for
them. Treatment centers lling up as soon
as they are opened. The situation is so dire
in Liberia that its president welcomed a U.S.
pledge to send troops and treatment centers,
but said much more needs to be done.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on
Wednesday urged the world community to
redouble efforts to battle the disease, which
could spread into other countries after
already hitting ve West African nations.
Our American partners realize Liberia
cannot defeat Ebola alone, Sirleaf said in a
written statement. We hope this decision
by the United States will spur the rest of the
international community into action ... The
entire community of nations has a stake in
ending this crisis.
Even as the promises of aid came, the
risks of such help were underscored as yet
another international health care worker fell
ill while trying to help sick patients in
Liberia. Doctors Without Borders also
known by its French acronym MSF said
the female French employee would be evac-
uated to a special treatment center in France
after being placed into isolation on Tuesday.
The infection marks the rst time an inter-
national MSF worker has contracted Ebola.
Six local staff have been infected, three of
whom died, though it was not clear that they
had become sick at work and may have con-
tracted the virus from the communities
where they lived.
More than 300 health workers have
become infected with Ebola in Guinea,
Liberia and Sierra Leone. Nearly half of
them have died, according to WHO. At least
seven international health care and aid
workers already have been taken abroad for
treatment, and concerns over health worker
infections have made it difcult to recruit
the foreign help needed to combat the epi-
demic.
Pakistan airstrikes kill
40 militants, army says
ISLAMABAD Pakistans military
launched airstrikes on ve militant hideouts
in a troubled tribal region near the border
with Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing 40
suspected ghters as part of a massive oper-
ation that began this summer.
In a statement, the military said precise
air strikes were carried out in Datta Khel, a
Taliban stronghold in North Waziristan,
where Pakistan launched a long-awaited
offensive on June 15. The region has long
been home to local and foreign militants
who carry out attacks in Pakistan and
against NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The military said it also destroyed ammu-
nition depots, and those killed included
foreigners.
It gave no details about the identity and
nationality of those killed in the strikes,
but authorities in Pakistan usually use the
term foreign militants to refer to Arabs,
Uzbeks and al-Qaida ghters. Since launch-
ing the operation, the military says it has
killed more than 1,000 local and foreign
militants, while it lost more than 80 sol-
diers.
East Ukraine casualties
rise as rebels reject deal
DONETSK, Ukraine Shelling in rebel-
held parts of east Ukraine killed at least 12
civilians on Wednesday, as a top leader of
pro-Russian rebels rejected Ukrainian legis-
lation meant to end the unrest by granting
self-rule to large swaths of the east.
The city council of Donetsk, the largest
rebel stronghold, said that shelling killed
two people in the city Wednesday and
wounded three others. In a separate state-
ment published online, the press center for
Kievs military campaign in the east said
that at least 10 civilians in the town of
Nyzhnya Krynka, 20 kilometers east of
Donetsk, had been killed by shelling.
Since a cease-re imposed on Sept. 5, the
ghting in Donetsk has been primarily lim-
ited to the north of the city, where many res-
idential neighborhoods have been caught in
the crossre of battles centered on the gov-
ernment-controlled airport.
On Wednesday, an AP reporter in that area
of Donetsk saw the remains of what
appeared to be a Grad rocket in a burned-out
building.

Moving Burlingames City Hall is one
option being discussed while city ofcials
determine how to tackle unfunded infrastruc-
ture needs that add up to approximately
$100 million.
There are 11 unfunded infrastructure proj-
ects. There was public outreach in the
spring and summer of this
year, which included an
online survey ranking
the infrastructure needs as
very critical, some-
what critical and not
critical. The rankings
are based on the very
critical votes cast. The
council was asked to pri-
oritize such projects in August using the
same questionnaire.
Vice Mayor Terry Nagel discussed moving
City Hall, currently located at 501 Primrose
Road, to another location and selling the
land.
To rebuild [City Hall at this location]
would be horrendously expensive, she
said.
City Hall is not a sexy building, but has
to be taken care of since its seismically
unsound, said Councilman Ricardo Ortiz.
The building has asbestos in the ceiling,
Nagel added.
I believe the public/private partnership
is realistic, Ortiz said. We should pursue it
as much as possible.

City officials looking at new recruits

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With an improving economy and securing qualied police
ofcers becoming more competitive, San Mateo will hire
three additional cops to account for upcoming vacancies,
employees on long-term disability and those moving in
response to the high cost of living in the area.
The number of lateral resignations, or ofcers whove left
the San Mateo police force to work for alternate law
enforcement agencies, has doubled in the last decade and six
ofcers have resigned in 2014 alone, according to a city
staff report.
With outside agencies drawing from its police force, the
City Council approved spending $230,000 to hire three
new full-time ofcers at a meeting Monday night. The
department is also shifting toward seeking entry-level of-
cers early on in anticipation of vacancies.

and Donna Divodi, citywide volunteer coordinator, prepare for Saturdays 18th annual Wine Walk in downtown San Mateo.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 18th annual Wine Walk is hit-
ting the streets of San Mateo this
weekend as local merchants team up
with Bay Area wineries to offer the
public a taste of what downtown has to
offer.
The Downtown San Mateo
Association is presenting Saturdays
event where 18 local businesses will
serve as sampling rooms for 18 winer-
ies with restaurants contributing food
pairings, said DSMA ofce manager
Kathleen Bednarik.
Downtown merchants act as mini
tasting rooms and we pair them up with
wineries from all over the Bay Area and
truly the idea is for folks not only to
enjoy the Wine Walk and wines from
all over the Bay Area, but also give
them the opportunity to have a leisure-
ly stroll through downtown San Mateo
and see some businesses they didnt
know were here. And we have new busi-
ness popping up all the time,
Bednarik said.
The annual crawl is one of the areas
largest events and a DSMA tradition
aimed at offering an entertaining after-
noon while promoting San Mateo mer-
chants, DSMA board President Nancy
Bush wrote in an email.
This is downtown San Mateos sig-
nature event in an intimate setting
where people can enjoy wine tasting
and learn more about what downtown
has to offer, Bush said.
Many of the 18 businesses are loyal
participants and Saturdays event will
be similar to last years Wine Walk,
Bednarik said.
It is truly back to the traditional
format of no street closings and really
getting the downtown merchants
involved, Bednarik said. Many of
our merchants tasting rooms have par-
ticipated since the inception of the

Police: Video shows man
used banana to rob store
PHILADELPHIA Police in
Philadelphia say a man used a banana
he swiped from a convenience store
counter to simulate a gun while he
robbed the place.
Police on Wednesday posted surveil-
lance video of the holdup reported in
the East Parkside neighborhood. The
footage shows a man entering the cor-
ner grocery store on Tuesday.
He waits in line and then takes a
banana from the counter by the cash
register. The suspect then sticks the
banana in a front pocket of his
sweatshirt and points it toward the
cashier.
Police say the man demanded money
and cigarettes, and made off with an
undetermined amount of cash. The
video shows him riding off on a bicy-
cle.

PORTLAND, Maine Portland,
Maine? Tim McGraw doesnt know
where it is. And he doesnt want to
know, either.
The country singer included a song,
Portland, Maine, on his latest
album, Sundown Heaven Town,

Its a breakup song in which
McGraw laments that his love has left

repeats the phrase Portland, Maine: I
dont know where that is and adds I
dont want to know.
Skunk with head stuck
in beer can rescued in Ohio
OXFORD, Ohio A skunk with a
beer can stuck on its head had to be
rescued near a fraternity house in
southwestern Ohio.
Oxford police said a resident called
them about the skunks predicament
on Sunday. Police found the animal
banging around trying to get the can
off and running into shrubs.
Skunks are known for the offensive
spray they can emit when threatened.
But Sgt. Jon Varley says an animal
control ofcer was able to free the
skunk without getting sprayed
The animal was then released.
Varley says police in the city about
an hours drive northwest of
Cincinnati have received calls before
about skunks and other wild animals.
But he says this was the rst one he
knew of that had to be rescued from a
beer can.
Missing driver says he
woke up in field of donkeys
ROSWELL, N.M. A driver who
went missing after a one-car rollover
in New Mexico says he later woke up
in a eld of donkeys.
KOAT-TV reports New Mexico State
Police say the driver called 911 seven
hours after investigators failed to nd
any victims from the crash in Roswell
late Friday.
The driver, whose name has not been
released, told 911 dispatchers that he
was lost and found himself surrounded
by the animals.
Authorities say the man claims he
and a passenger were drinking the
night before but didnt remember what
happened next.
Police say the driver suffered
injuries to a shoulder and his hands and
the passenger suffered back injuries.
The driver was issued multiple cita-
tions, but the charges havent been
released.
Michigan woman holds
off thief, then gives birth
FLINT, Mich. Police in Flint,
Michigan, say a woman gave birth
after she and her family captured a
purse snatcher in a grocery store park-
ing lot.
The Flint Police Department says
the woman was putting groceries in
her car Tuesday on the city's east side
when an unarmed man grabbed her
purse. Police say she ran after him, and
he pushed her down.
The Flint Journal reports two
bystanders stopped the man and
retrieved the woman's purse. The man
tried to keep running but the woman's
family held him until police arrived.

SACRAMENTO Drivers for ride-sharing
companies such as Uber and Lyft must carry
minimum levels of insurance under legisla-
tion that will take effect next July.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday
that he had signed AB2293 by
Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-
Concord.
Supporters of the legislation said ride-
sharing companies were operating in an
insurance gray zone by using personal cars
for commercial purposes. Bonilla said the
case of an Uber driver who struck and killed a
6-year-old girl while looking for passengers
in San Francisco highlighted gaps in insur-
ance requirements that she wanted to close.
Her legislation prompted one of the
biggest public relations and lobbying bat-
tles of the legislative session, pitting insur-
ers and consumer groups against high-pro-
le transportation start-
ups.
AB2293 requires drivers
to carry a basic policy
that includes liability
insurance of $50,000 for
killing or injuring a per-
son, $100,000 for dam-
age from a single accident
and $30,000 for property
damage. Uber and Lyft
supported Bonillas bill
after she agreed to reduce the required amount
of excess insurance from $500,000 to
$200,000 when drivers do not have passen-
gers in their vehicles.
Bonilla said the law will help protect con-
sumers.
This legislation also reinforces corporate
responsibility, safeguarding taxpayers from
subsidizing the costs of commercial activi-
t y, she said in a statement.

West Nile infected
mosquitoes found, multiple
cities to be fogged Thursday
Portions of Belmont, Foster City,
Redwood City, Redwood Shores and San
Mateo will be fogged Thursday night after
mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus
were found Tuesday.
The fogging will occur between 9 p.m.
and 5 a.m. in a primarily residential area
bounded by Regan Drive to the southwest,
Belmont Slough to the east and Beach
Park Boulevard to the north, according to
the San Mateo County Mosquito and
Vector Control District.
Fogging will also take place on the
Oracle campus and at the Bayshore
Technology Park, according to the dis-
trict.
The affected areas include portions of
zip codes 94404, 94065 and 94403,
according to the district.
The district will use the adulticide
Zenivex, which the Environmental
Protection Agency has determined is safe
for urban use. The upcoming fogging is in
response to mosquitoes testing positive
for West Nile having been found in the
county over the past few months for the
first time in the districts history, accord-
ing to the district.
Reports of dead birds are an early indica-
tion that the virus is circulating in the
environment and residents are encouraged
to help by reporting fresh carcasses of
birds or squirrels to the West Nile virus
hotline online at www.westnile.ca.gov or
by calling (877) 968-2473.

ing truck-mounted fogging contact the

Eleven-year-old girl
killed in Burlingame
crash Sunday identified
An 11-year-old girl who died in a crash
on Interstate 280 in Burlingame early
Sunday morning has been identified by the
San Mateo County Coroners Office as 11-
year-old Iliyah Porter.
The crash was reported around 12:55
a.m. Sunday on northbound Interstate 280
south of Trousdale Drive, according to the
California Highway Patrol.
A black Chevrolet SUV was heading
north on the highway when the driver lost
control, went off of the road and down an
embankment. The vehicle crashed into a
tree and Porter, a San Francisco resident,
was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP
officials said.
The driver was hospitalized with major
injuries but is expected to survive. Other
passengers in the car were taken to the
hospital with minor injuries, according to
the CHP.
CHP officials said it appears that every-
one was wearing seat belts at the time of
the crash and that it does not appear that
alcohol played a role.
CHP Officer Art Montiel said Tuesday
that investigators are looking into the
sleepiness of the driver as a possible cause
of the crash.
Family members set up a page on the
crowdfunding website GoFundMe to raise
$15,000 in funeral expenses for Iliyah.
The campaign at
http://www.gofundme.com/ejr55g had
raised $6,475 as of this morning.
Teen found dead in
Belmont apartment identified
A teen found dead in a Belmont apart-

Motryuk was found in an apartment in
the 2200 block of Lake Road at about 8:20

He was unresponsive and despite life-
saving measures, he was pronounced dead
in the apartment, police said.
Investigators found evidence of drug use
in the apartment but have not said whether
it is believed to have contributed to
Motryuks death.
The Coroners Office is still determin-
ing the cause of death.

Medi-Cal patients
sue over backlog
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Medi-Cal patients and
health care advocates led a lawsuit against
the state Wednesday for leaving hundreds of
thousands of low-income and disabled people
waiting months for care.
The suit led in Alameda County Superior
Court aims to get the California Department
of Health Care Services to process applica-
tions within a required 45-day time frame.
One plaintiff, 68-year old Frances Rivera of
Visalia, said she lost her adult son, Robert,
who died from a pulmonary embolism while
waiting to hear back about his Medi-Cal
application. The application was approved
two months after he died.
Its not easy watching someone you love
go through this, and theres nothing you can
do, Rivera said in a statement. I just want to
cry when I think about all the times we said,
He has this problem, and nobody did any-
thing.
The health care services department does
not comment about pending litigation,
spokesman Norman Williams said.
Medi-Cal is the states version of Medicaid,
the state-federal health insurance program for
poor, disabled and low-income people. The
programs ranks have swelled nationwide
under President Barack Obamas Affordable
Care Act, which allows more people to quali-
fy in the states that decided to expand it.
California was among the states that opted
to expand Medicaid but also has the largest
application backlog. It stood at 900,000 in
May, out of 1.9 million people who enrolled.
The state Department of Health Care Services
reported the backlog had been reduced to
350,000 as of Sept. 1.
We will continue our joint work with the
counties to process these cases, and we
expect more progress in the coming weeks,
Williams said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A South San Francisco man
accused of raping two different
women in 2001 pleaded not
guilty to several charges of sex-
ual assault.
After entering his plea, Boris
Emmanuel Chavez, 33, waived
his right to a speedy preliminary
hearing and
set the matter
for Nov. 6. He
remains in
custody on
$1. 5 mi l l i on
bai l .
Chavez was
identified as
the suspect in
the attacks earlier this year after
his DNA was entered into a
nationwide crime database fol-
lowing an arrest on suspicion of
felony robbery in South San
Francisco. The District
Attorneys Office declined to file
charges in that case but the data-
base turned up a hit for the sexu-
al assaults.
In the May 4, 2001, case, a
woman found half naked and
bleeding on a South San
Francisco street told investiga-
tors she recalled nothing other
than running into some friends
and partying. On Nov. 1, 2001,
a second woman reported being
carried from a Halloween party
to a car by two men after first
feeling strange and losing
bodily control. She reported
being assaulted by both as she
drifted in and out of conscious-
ness.
If convicted of the kidnapping
charge alone, Chavez faces up to
life in prison.

Over 2K homes
threatened in
California fire
By Jeff Barnard
WEED Teams of reghters
went house-to-house on
Wednesday to pin down damage
done by a wildre that ofcials
estimated had destroyed 110
homes and damaged another 90 in
the small town of Weed while
another Northern California blaze
east of Sacramento was threaten-
ing more than 2,000 homes as it
burned out of control, officials
said.
The new figures from Weed
brought a marked increase from
the initial estimate that a total of
150 structures had been destroyed
or damaged in the blaze that began
Monday and rapidly swept across
the town. Four firefighters lost
their homes.
In the re east of Sacramento, a
total of 2,500 firefighters were
now taking on the blaze that was
threatening 2,003 homes and
another 1,505 smaller structures,
the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection said.
Its been an explosive couple
of days, CalFire spokesman
Daniel Berlant said.
The re has burned nearly 44
square miles of trees and brush and
is just 5 percent contained.
We are faced with a large and
dangerous fire, Laurence
Crabtree, a U.S. Forest Service
supervisor for the Eldorado
National Forest, told the
Sacramento Bee. We have had
signicant losses of public timber
land, private timberland and
watershed.
Most of the threatened homes
were in Pollock Pines, 60 miles
east of Sacramento. Hundreds of
them are under evacuation orders,
but it wasnt immediately clear
exactly how many.
In Weed, two churches, a com-
munity center and the library also
burned to the ground, while an ele-
mentary school and the citys last
wood products mill were damaged
by ames that had been pushed by
40 mph winds.
On Wednesday, firefighters
braced for more wind as they bat-
tled the 375-acre re, and insur-
ance companies worked to find
places to live for the people who
lost their homes.
The cause of the blaze was under
investigation. It was 60 percent
contained.
Burned neighborhoods remained
off-limits, but people have been
nding ways in since the re start-
ed.
The Rev. Bill Hofer, pastor of
Weed Berean Church, said power
was back on in his home, which
was still standing on the edge of
the devastation zone, and he was
planning to return Wednesday
night despite the evacuation
order to deter vandalism.
The more people home with the
lights on, the better, he said.
At the Roseburg Forest Products
veneer mill, workers looked for
structural damage to the main man-
ufacturing facility. Amaintenance
shed was reduced to twisted sheet-
metal.
We were in the middle of its
path, said Kellye Wise, vice pres-
ident of human resources for the
company based in Dillard,
Oregon. He said employees also
lost homes in the blaze.
The temporary closure of the
mill came as another blow to a
town still suffering from logging
cutbacks in the 1990s intended to
protect fish and wildlife, said
Siskiyou County Supervisor
Michael Kobseff.
With 170 workers, the mill is
the second largest employer in
Weed, a blue-collar town of 3,000
people in the shadow of Mount
Shasta. He said some residents are
anxious to rebuild.
Then there are others still pret-
ty well devastated, he said. But I
think the community is just trying
to pull together and get back on
track.
Near Yosemite National Park, a
320-acre fire that damaged or
destroyed 71 structures, including
37 homes, around Oakhurst was 70
percent contained and all remain-
ing evacuations were canceled.
More than 4,000 wildres have
burned in California this year.

WASHINGTON A doctor who
rst exposed serious problems at
the troubled Phoenix Veterans
Affairs hospital said Wednesday
that a report on patient deaths there
is a whitewash that minimizes
life-threatening conduct by senior
leaders at the hospital.
Dr. Samuel Foote, a former clinic
director for the VAin Phoenix, said
a report by the departments inspec-
tor general appears designed to
minimize the scandal and protect
its perpetrators rather than to pro-
vide the truth.
At best, this report is a white-
wash, Foote told the House
Veterans Affairs Committee. At its
worst, it is a feeble attempt at a
cover-up. The report deliberately
uses confusing language and math,
invents new unrealistic standards of
proof ... and makes misleading
statements.
The Aug. 26 report said workers
at a Phoenix VA hospital falsied
waiting lists while their supervi-
sors looked the other way or even
directed it, resulting in chronic
delays for veterans seeking care.
The inspector generals ofce iden-
tied 40 patients who died while
awaiting appointments in
Phoenix, but the report said of-
cials could not conclusively
assert that delays in care caused the
deaths.
Acting Inspector General Richard
Grifn denied that the report sugar-
coated any information about the
Phoenix hospital or the VA, and he
disputed suggestions by several
Republicans that the report was
altered at the request of the VA.
The sentence declaring that
investigators could not conclu-
sively assert that delays in care
caused any patient deaths was not
included in a draft report, and some
lawmakers have suggested that
Grifns ofce added the language
in an attempt to soften an explo-
sive allegation that helped launch
the scandal in the spring that
delays in care may have resulted in
patient deaths. Grifn rejected that
idea out of hand.
This sentence was inserted for
clarity to summarize the results of
our clinical case reviews, he said,
adding that the change was by his
ofce on its own initiative.
Neither the language nor the
concept was suggested by anyone
at VAto any of my people, Grifn
said.

WASHINGTON Cuts to the
nations food stamp program
enacted this year are only affect-
ing four states, far from the sweep-
ing overhaul that Republicans had
pushed, an Associated Press
review has found.
As a result, its unclear whether
the law will realize the estimated
$8.6 billion in savings over 10
years that the GOP had advertised.
A farm bill signed by President
Barack Obama in February
attempted to save money by scal-
ing back what lawmakers called a
loophole in the food stamp pro-
gram that entitles low-income
families to more food aid if they
participate in a federal heating
assistance program. States were
giving some people as little as $1
a year in heating assistance so
they could get more food aid. Its
called heat and eat.
Among the 16 states that allow
the practice or some form of it, 12
governors have taken steps to
avoid the food stamp cuts.
Governments role is to help
people help themselves, and
these steps are necessary to help
our most vulnerable residents and
families meet their most basic
needs, Massachusetts Gov.
Deval Patrick said when he
announced his states move earli-
er this year.
The farm bill was held up for
more than two years as conserva-
tives insisted on cutting the
nations food stamp program,
which now serves 1 in 7
Americans at a cost of around $80
billion a year. The roughly 1 per-
cent cut was a compromise
between Republicans who had
hoped for far larger cuts and
Democrats who didnt want to see
any cuts at all.
The states workaround most-
ly by Democratic governors
has infuriated Republicans who
pushed the cuts. In March, House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
called the states moves fraud.
House Agriculture Chairman Frank
Lucas, R-Okla., and House Energy
and Commerce Chairman Fred
Upton, R-Mich., have asked the
Obama administration to hold
states accountable for dodging
the cuts.
The governors say they are fol-
lowing the law while preserving
crucial benets for their neediest
citizens.
Cuts to food stamp program will only affect four states

Local brief
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON One year ago, President
Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani came close to ending the decades-
long freeze on face-to-face meetings
between their countries leaders.
Next week both men are scheduled to
again be in New York for United Nations
meetings but expectations for even a hand-
shake are more muted than they were last
fall. While lower level ofcials from both
countries are now in regular contact, dead-
locked nuclear talks as well as the com-
plexities of the ght against militants in
the Middle East are clouding the
prospects for an elusive leaders meeting.
The state of play between the United
States and Iran is too fragile to endure what
would be the shock of a direct meeting,
said Robin Wright, a joint fellow at the
Wilson Center and the U.S. Institute of
Peace in Washington.
An in-person meeting between the two
leaders would mark a substantive shift in
the way the U.S. has dealt with Iran for
decades and could eventually open the door
for talks on matters beyond Tehrans disput-
ed nuclear program. It would also mark the
fulfillment of a pledge
Obama made as a presi-
dential candidate when he
said he would be willing
to talk to Americas
adversaries without pre-
conditions.
Obama spokesman
Josh Earnest said a meet-
ing with Rouhani is not
on Obamas dance card
next week, though the
White House has not ruled out the possibil-
ity that the two men could have an
encounter on the sidelines of the U.N.
General Assembly. Obama and Rouhani will
both arrive in New York early next week for
meetings with world leaders and speeches to
the U.N.
The White Houses public posture is
noticeably different than it was heading
into last years U.N. meetings, which came
on the heels of Rouhanis surprise victory
in Irans presidential elections. White
House ofcials said repeatedly that Obama
was willing to meet with the new, more
moderate-sounding Iranian leader. And
when plans for the meeting eventually fell
apart, U.S. ofcials made clear that it was
the Iranians who balked, not Obama.

WASHINGTON The Republican-con-
trolled House voted grudgingly Wednesday
to give the administration authority to
train and arm Syrian rebels as President
Barack Obama emphasized anew that
American forces do not and will not have a
combat mission in the struggle against
Islamic State militants in either Iraq or
Syria.
The 273-156 vote crossed party lines to
an unusual degree in a Congress marked by
near-ceaseless partisanship. Top
Republican and Democratic leaders backed
Obamas plan seven weeks before midterm
elections, while dozens of rank-and-le law-
makers in both parties opposed it.
The provision was added to spending leg-
islation that will ensure the federal govern-
ment operates normally after the Sept. 30
end of the budget year. Final approval is
expected in the Senate on Thursday.
Even supporters of the military plan
found little to trumpet. This is the best of a
long list of bad options, said Rep. Jim
Moran, D-Va.
One Republican supporter noted the meas-
ure includes strict limits on Obamas author-
ity. Members on both sides of the aisle are
very concerned that too much of Congress
warmaking power has gone to the presi-
dent, said Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma.
Obamas remarks and similar comments
Wednesday by House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi of California seemed designed
to reassure liberal lawmakers that the new
military mission would be limited.
In a statement following the vote, Obama
said the House took an important step for-
ward as our nation unites to confront the
threat posed by the Islamic State group,
showing bipartisan support for a critical
component of his strategy against the
extremists.
Only a day earlier, Gen. Martin E.
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, drew widespread attention when he
told Congress he might recommend the use
of U.S. ground combat forces if Obamas
current strategy fails to stop the militants.
Across the political aisle from the presi-
dent and Pelosi, Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, and House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy of California swung behind the
plan. Yet many other Republicans expressed
concerns that it would be insufcient to
defeat militants who have overrun parts of
Syria and Iraq and beheaded two American
journalists.
In all, 85 Democrats and 71 Republicans
voted to deny Obama the authority he
sought. The measure passed on the strength
of 159 votes from Republicans and 114
from Democrats.
GOP lawmakers took solace in the short-
term nature of the legislation. It grants
Obama authority only until Dec. 11, giving
Congress plenty of time to return to the
issue in a postelection session set to begin
in mid-November.
While the military provision was given a
separate vote in the House to tack it onto
the spending bill it seemed unlikely
there would be a yes-or-no vote in the
Senate on Obamas new military strategy to
train rebel forces in Saudi Arabia to be used

House grudgingly vote to approve

BAGHDAD Iraqs new prime minister
ruled out stationing U.S. ground troops in
his country, chiding the international com-
munity Wednesday for inaction in Syria and
lamenting the puzzling exclusion of
neighboring Iran from the coalition being
assembled to ght the Islamic State group.
Haider al-Abadi has been embraced by the
West as a more inclusive leader who might
heal the internal rifts that have dismem-
bered Iraq. But his forthrightness in an
interview with the Associated Press his
rst with international media suggested a
man capable of parting ways on vision and
holding his ground.
Al-Abadi praised the U.S. aerial campaign
targeting the militants who have overrun
much of northern and western Iraq and
carved out a proto-state spanning the Syria-
Iraq border, saying it has helped efforts to
roll back the Sunni extremists.
But he stressed that he sees no need for the
U.S. or other nations to send troops into
Iraq to help ght the Islamic State.
Not only is it not necessary, he said,
We dont want them. We wont allow them.
Full stop.
Instead, al-Abadi urged the international
community to expand its campaign against
the extremists in neighboring Syria, noting
that militants coming under pressure in Iraq
are retreating back into Syria.

New IS video warns
U.S. over Iraq deployment
BEIRUT The militant Islamic State
group released a video warning the United
States that its ghters are waiting for it in
Iraq if President Barack Obama sends troops
there, as his top general said may happen if
the current strategy of airstrikes fails.
The slick 52-second video entitled
Flames of War shows militants blowing
up tanks and images of wounded U.S. sol-
diers. It then shows a clip of Obama saying
that combat troops will not be returning to
Iraq, ending with a text overlay that reads
ghting has just begun.
The videos timing, released late Tuesday,
suggested it was a response to Gen. Martin
Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, who said in testimony to the Senate
Armed Services Committee that if the cur-
rent Iraq strategy doesnt prevail, he may
recommend the use of ground troops.
To be clear, if we reach the point where I
believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi
troops on attacks against specic ISIL tar-
gets, I will recommend that to the presi-
dent, Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, declared in testimony to the
Senate Armed Services Committee. He
referred to the militants by an alternative
name.
Iran rules out
cooperating with U.S. in Iraq
NEWYORK Irans foreign minister is
ruling out cooperating with the United
States in helping Iraq ght Islamic State
militants and warning that the terrorist
group poses a much broader global threat
that needs new thinking to eradicate.
Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday
that Iran has serious doubts about the will-
ingness and ability of the United States to
react seriously to the menace from the
Islamic State group across the board, not
just choosing where to confront it as it has
just started doing in Iraq.

Members on both sides of the aisle

NEW YORK The stock market
got the reassurance it wanted from the
Federal Reserve Wednesday.
The U.S. central bank signaled that
it would keep its short-term interest
rate near zero for a while yet, and
investors pushed the Dow Jones
industrial average to a record high.
Low rates have been a boon to the
market by helping stimulate the
economy and making stocks more
attractive compared with bonds.
The Fed is not going to take the
punch bowl away, said Brad
McMillan, chief investment officer
for Commonwealth Financial. They
didnt want to spook the market.
Major indexes drifted before the
Fed released a statement at 2 p.m.
Eastern time signaling little change
in its interest rate policy. Stocks in
all three U.S. major indexes rose. The
gains were small, but broad. Seven of
the 10 industry groups of the
Standard & Poors 500 index rose, led
by materials stocks.
In its statement following a two-
day policy meeting, the central
bank retained language that it plans
to keep short-term rates at a record
low for a considerable time after it
ends its monthly bond purchases in
November. Many investors inter-
pret that to mean the first hike
wont come until the middle of next
year.
The Dow gained 24.88 points, or
0.2 percent, to end at 17,156.85
its 16th record high this year. The
S&P 500 edged up 2.59 points, or 0.1
percent, to 2,001.57, falling short of
its own closing high of 2,007.71
from Sept. 5.
The Nasdaq composite finished
higher by 9.43 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 4,562.19, still well below
its dot-com era peak.
Shares of home builders jumped
after an index of builder confidence
for new homes rose to its highest
level in nearly nine years. Lennar
Corp. rose nearly 6 percent, the most
in the S&P 500 index.
The S&P 500 has risen 8 percent in
2014, extending the bull market into
a sixth year. Companies have been
hiring at a solid pace and manufactur-
ing and construction have picked up.
Dow at record after Fed keeps rates intact

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve
signaled Wednesday that it plans to keep a
key interest rate at a record low because a
broad range of U.S. economic measures
remain subpar.
The Fed said it intends to keep its bench-
mark rate near zero as long as ination
remains under control, until it sees consis-
tent gains in wage growth, long-term unem-
ployment and other gauges of the job mar-
ket.
The central bank retained language sig-
naling its plans to keep short-term rates
low for a considerable time after it ends
its monthly bond purchases after its next
meeting in October.
In the Feds mind, the economy still has
work to do, but its improving, said Mike
Arone, an investment strategist with State
Street Global Advisors.
Stock prices rose after the Fed issued a
statement at 2 p.m. Eastern time after a two-
day policy meeting, and the Dow Jones
industrial average closed up about 25 points
to a record high.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
edged up to 2.62 percent from 2.59 percent
late Tuesday.
In its statement, the Fed said it will make
another $10 billion cut in the pace of its
Treasury and mortgage bond purchases,
which have been intended to keep long-
term borrowing rates low.
It also claried the process by which it
will eventually unwind its low-rate poli-
cies. The Fed said it would rst increase its
key short-term rate before it stops reinvest-
ing its bond holdings, which have driven
the Feds balance sheet to a record of nearly
$4.5 trillion.
On Wednesday, the central bank also
issued updated forecasts for growth, ina-
tion and interest rates.
The median short-term rate supported
by Fed policymakers at the end of 2015 is
now 1.38 percent, up from 1.13 percent
at its June meeting. This suggested pres-
sure from some Fed officials for a faster
rate increase than the Feds statement
implied.
The Fed also expects slower growth this
year and next than in its last projections
issued in June. It predicts that the economy
will grow about 2.1 percent this year, down
from its June forecast of roughly 2.2 per-
cent. That reduction likely reects the sharp
contraction in the rst quarter of this year.
The economy has rebounded solidly since
then.
On the eve of the Feds meeting this week,
the nancial world had been on high alert
for whether the Fed would reiterate that it
expects to keep its key short-term rate near
zero for a considerable time after the bond
buying ends.

Apple iOS 8 software
bug affects health apps
NEWYORK Abug in Apples new iOS 8
software for mobile devices is prompting
the company to withhold apps that use a

ness and health data.
Apple says it hopes to have HealthKit
apps restored to its app store by the end of

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco drag
queens are sparring with Facebook over its
policy requiring people to use their real
names, rather than drag names such as Pollo
Del Mar and Heklina. But the worlds biggest
social network is not budging from its rules.
In recent weeks, Facebook has been delet-
ing the proles of self-described drag queens
and other performers who use stage names
because they did not comply with the social
networking sites requirement that users go
by their real names on the site.
On Wednesday, Facebook declined to
change its policy after meeting with drag
queens and a member of the San Francisco
board of supervisors. The company said is
usually deletes accounts with fake names after
investigating user complaints.
This policy is wrong and misguided, said
Supervisor David Campos, who was anked
by seven drag queens during a press confer-
ence at San Francisco City Hall.
The drag queens and others in the lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender community say
many Facebook account holders fear using
their real names for a variety of reasons,
including threats to their safety and employ-
ment.
I have crazy family members who I
dont want contacting me through
Facebook, said a self-described drag
queen who calls herself Heklina.
Facebook said it temporarily restored hun-
dreds of deleted accounts for two weeks. After
that theyll have to either change their name
to their real name, or convert their prole to
a fan page.
Campos and the drag queens, led by the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence a San
Francisco group of drag performers and
activists thats been around since 1979
say they plan another meeting with
Facebook and are hopeful that the company
will ultimately alter its policy.
If Facebook doesnt change its policy, the
drag queens at San Francisco City Hall
Wednesday said they would organize protests
and boycotts.
Abused women, bullied teens, transgender
people... (there are) a million different peo-
ple with a million different reasons to use
fake names, said Sister Roma, a member of
the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Facebook says it policy helps prevent
bad behavior, while creating a safer and more
accountable environment.
The company says performers and others
have other ways of keeping their stage iden-
tities on the site, including creating pages
that are meant for businesses and public g-
ures.
Many in the drag queen community are pro-
fessional performers who rely on Facebook
to publicize gigs. They said a fan page isnt
the same as a regular Facebook page.

With this seasons major roster changes and
the recent California Community College
Athletic Association realignment, the dynam-
ic between College of San Mateo and Butte
College is vastly different than it was a year
ago.
For CSM head coach Bret Pollack, that
dynamic doesnt undermine the importance of
the game albeit a nonconference matchup
for the rst time in over a decade between
the two CCCAApowerhouses.
If youre going to be good enough, youre
going to play them anyway, Pollack said.
Youll meet in the [playoffs].
While the Bulldogs and the Roadrunners
played out of the same NorCal Conference last
season as a result, they met in Week 8 with
Butte winning a 28-20 thriller their pairing
was essentially the community college ver-
sion of last years 49ers and Seahawks rivalry,
arguably the two strongest teams in the NFL
both playing out of the same division. Butte
went undefeated en route to a 2013 state cham-
pionship. CSM posted the second best record
in the state; at 10-1, the Bulldogs only loss
came at the hands of Butte on Nov. 2.
The teams did not meet in the playoffs how-
ever. By nishing in second place in the
NorCal, CSM did not qualify for the postsea-
son. Prior to this season, the conferences
were realigned with Butte remaining in the
NorCal North and CSM moving to the Bay 6.
While the two teams have much in common
in the way of roster turnover since last year,
the strength of schedules is vastly different.
Since opening the year with a 31-3 over
College of the Siskiyous, the Bullsdogs
schedule has gotten gradually stronger. They
faced Modesto Junior College (0-2) Saturday
in Week 2, handling the Pirates 51-26.
Butte, meanwhile, traveled to perennial
powerhouse Santa Rosa (2-0) last week, where
the Roadrunners lost Saturday 24-17. After
CSM to face defending state champ Butte
T
his is supposed to be the year.
After being in so-called salary
cap hell for the rst two seasons
of the Reggie McKenzie-Dennis Allen
era, 2014 was to be the season the
Oakland Raiders turned the corner and
start moving back toward respectability.
So far, however,
2014 has looked a
lot like 2012 and
2013. The Raiders
are off to a 0-2 start
and have not looked
good at all in
doing so. The
offense is struggling
to nd any kind of
rhythm, while the
defense has not
stopped either the
New York Jets in
Week 1 or the Houston Texans this past
weekend.
There have been very few positives for
the Raiders to this point and those rst
two performances have turned up the heat
on both Allen, the head coach, and gener-
al manager McKenzie.
Raider Nation, inevitably, will come up
with a silver lining, but objective
observers wont see much. The offense
was expected to have some issues with a
rookie starting at quarterback. But a lack
of any kind of effective running game has
forced Derek Carr to go to the air more
often.
The main reason running backs Darren
McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew have
had a hard time nding running lanes is
the very fact Oakland is starting a rst-
year player at quarterback. Defenses are
loading up to stop the run, daring the
Raiders to beat them through the air.
Unfortunately, the Raiders have very
few wide receivers who can actually catch
Raiders are
no closer to
contending

PHOENIX Someone had been to the cos-
tume shop, and Matt Duffy was about to put on
faux leather boots, chaps and a pink cowboy
hat to complete his travel ensemble.
The annual ritual of making rookies wear
unattering outts on one of the last road trips
of the season was underway in the Giants
clubhouse, but it hardly bothered Duffy.
I told them I feel so good right now, they
can dress me up in whatever they want, Duffy
said Wednesday after his pinch-hit single in
the ninth inning sent San Francisco to a 4-2
win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Duffy snapped a tie with a two-run single
and the Giants narrowed their gap in the NL
West, pulling within two games of the rst-
place Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost 16-2 at
Colorado. The contenders both have 10
games left.
Duffys hit came on a full count with the
bases loaded against closer Addison Reed (1-
6). Pablo Sandoval walked with one out,
Brandon Crawford singled and pinch-hitter
Brandon Belt walked, setting up Duffy.
Crawford had four hits.
Now 4 for 10 as a pinch hitter, Duffy did not
play in Triple-A this season and was called
straight up from Double-A on Aug. 1. Giants
manager Bruce Bochy showed faith in him in
a key situation during a playoff race.
When he shows condence in you, you
have condence in yourself, Duffy said. Its
a good feeling, denitely.
Bochy said Duffy has shown good compo-
sure since his call-up.
Thats not the rst time hes gotten a big
hit for us, Bochy said. I like him in that sit-
uation.
Sergio Romo (6-4) pitched one inning, and
Duffy batted for him. Santiago Casilla got his
17th save.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said
Reed was overworked.
This was his fth day in six either in the
game or heating up. He just didnt have it,
Gibson said.
Crawford hit an RBI double in the second for
a 1-0 lead.

Half Moon Bays Jackson Crane, left, who scored a team-high three goals, defends Woodsides Leo Franco-Muoz during a 13-7 Cougarswin.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Justin Ferdinand preaches defense to his
Half Moon Bay boys water polo team. The
team responded with a 13-7 victory
Wednesday at Woodside.
The Cougars improved their overall record
to 6-1 with a commanding rst-half effort.
The defensive backfield prowess of
Malcolm Feix and Garrett Kern helped Half
Moon Bay goalkeeper Michael Provinceo
deal a near shutout through the rst half of
play, until Woodside got on the board 18
seconds prior to halftime.
In the second half, Half Moon Bay emp-
tied the bench as Woodside rallied to make a
game of it. Mitchell Martin scored a match-
high four goals for the Wildcats while
Jackson Crane paced the Cougars with
three. Ferdinand estimated his defense
allowed just four shots on goal throughout
the rst half.
The style we play is defense first,
Ferdinand said. So, I wanted to dictate the
tempo. And the way we do that is to work
the high, hard press and try to steal the ball
as much as we can.
Provinceo is coming into his own as a
new varsity goalkeeper. With Half Moon
Bay losing two keepers from last years
team to graduation, Provinceo was promot-
ed from the junior-varsity ranks, where he
served as a field player last season.
Ferdinand said he worked through the sum-
mer with Provinceo to get him up to speed
for his junior season.
That was his fth game of the season.
So, hes come a long way, Ferdinand said.
Half Moon Bay has set a good tempo
heading into Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division play beginning next Wednesday at
Menlo-Atherton. Now seven games into its
season, a mismatch against Woodside was a
given. Not only are the Wildcats playing in
the lower Ocean Division this season,

Cardinals RB Dwyer arrested on assault charges
PHOENIX Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan
Dwyer was arrested Wednesday on aggravated assault
charges in connection with two altercations at his home in
July involving a woman and their 18-month-old child, the
latest in a string of such cases involving NFL players.
The Cardinals said they became aware of the situation on
Wednesday and are cooperating with the investigation.
Dwyer has been deactivated from all team activities. The
NFL said the case will be reviewed under the league's per-
sonal-conduct policy.
One of the counts was aggravated assault causing a frac-
ture involving the 27-year-old victim, whom they did not
identify. Police said they were carrying out a search warrant
of his residence in pursuit of more evidence.
Panthers remove DE Greg Hardy from active roster
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Panthers nally made a decision
on Greg Hardy: the Pro Bowl defensive end will not play any-
more games for Carolina until his domestic violence case is
resolved.
The team removed Hardy from its active roster Wednesday,
ending three weeks of indecision regarding his playing status.
He played Week 1, sat out Week 2 and there was uncertainty
about this week.
Hardy was convicted July 15 of assault on a female and com-
municating threats after the victim said the 6-foot-4, 275-
pound player threw her in the bathtub and onto a sofa covered
with guns before threatening to kill her. Hardy is appealing
the ruling and a jury trial is set for Nov. 17.
He will continue to be paid his weekly salary of
$770,588.23. Hardy also is allowed to be at the team facility,
but will not practice.
To get it right, Vikings put Peterson on leave
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Minnesota Vikings star running
back Adrian Peterson was declared out, back in, then out again
as he faces a felony child-abuse charge in Texas.
This time, he could be gone for the season.
We made a mistake, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said, and we
needed to get this right.
Vikings executives emerged Wednesday from a late-night
deliberation to voice regret of their initial decision to let
Peterson play this week after sitting him for a game once he
was charged with injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him
with a wooden switch.
During a 17-minute news conference at Vikings headquar-
ters, the word right was used a total of 34 times by the Wilfs,
vice president Kevin Warren and general manager Rick
Spielman. They expressed concern about child welfare, recog-
nized their role as public gures and reminded the audience of
the community service work done regularly by players.
Welker back on the eld after suspension lifted
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes
Welker was reinstated after the NFL agreed to a new perform-
ance-enhancing drug policy.
The widely respected 11-year NFLveteran had been suspend-
ed for four games but can return Sunday under the new rules in
which players who test positive for banned stimulants in the
offseason will no longer be suspended right away. Instead,
they will be referred to the substance-abuse program, where it
takes multiple positive tests before being banned.

OAKLAND Sean Doolittle allowed a
three-run homer to J.P. Arencibia during a six-
run ninth inning, and the Oakland Athletics
lost 6-1 to the last-place Texas Rangers on
Wednesday night.
It was the fourth blown save in 25 chances
for Doolittle (1-4) this season.
The bearded closers meltdown on the
mound negated a stellar start by Jeff
Samardzija and ended Oaklands two-year
reign as ALWest champions. The Los Angeles
Angels clinched the division with a 5-0 win
over Seattle and the loss by the As .
Oakland dropped into a tie with Kansas City
for the ALs top wild card. Seattle is two games
behind the As and Royals for the second and
nal berth.
Sam Fulds single in the fth drove in
Oaklands only run. Robbie Ross (3-6) got the
nal ve outs for the win.
Samardzija outpitched Derek Holland to put
the As in position to win. Samardzija struck
out 10 and allowed just four hits in eight
innings.
The hard-throwing righty has a 16-inning
scoreless streak, the longest of his career. As
well as he pitched, though, it wasnt enough
for the As to overcome another underwhelm-
ing performance at the plate.
Oakland left 10 runners on base. That
included loading the bases with no outs in the
eighth only to come up empty.
Elvis Andrus singled and scored on Rougned
Odors double to start the Rangers rally in the
ninth. After Adrian Beltre was intentionally
walked, Arencibias 10th home run silenced
the crowd of 17,530 at the Coliseum.
Doolittle was charged with ve of the six
runs.
Holland continued his remarkable return for
the Rangers after missing ve months follow-
ing offseason knee surgery. He gave up one
run, four hits and three walks in 6 1-3 innings.
In four starts this season, Holland has
allowed just three runs. But his latest outing
wasnt enough to outlast Samardzija, who pro-
vided a much-needed performance on the
mound after Oaklands sloppy 6-3 loss to
Texas on Tuesday night.
Samardzija stranded a runner on second in
the rst, third and fth. He worked fast and
looked in command from start to nish, even
enduring a brief delay for an umpire change.
Plate umpire Kerwin Danley took a foul tip
from Nick Punto off his facemask in the fth.
Danley was replaced by second base umpire
Mark Ripperger to start the sixth.
Samardzija has allowed no runs in ve of his
starts with the Cubs and As this season. He
hasnt won any of them.
Up next
Rangers: RHP Nick Martinez (3-11, 4.93
ERA) starts Thursdays series nale. Hes 2-5
with a 4.72 ERAin his last 10 starts.
Athl eti cs: RHP Sonny Gray (13-8, 3.18)
takes the mound for Oakland. He has allowed
four earned runs in 15 innings over his last
two starts.

SPORTS 13
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA As a rookie quarterback
seeking his first NFL win against Bill
Belichicks New England Patriots, Derek
Carr has too much to worry about himself to
focus on questions about his coachs job
security.
But if the Raiders dont start winning
soon, those questions about Dennis Allens
job will only get louder.
Instead of showing the progress that owner
Mark Davis had hoped to see this season in
the rst two games, the Raiders have shown
few signs of improvement in losing to the
New York Jets and Houston.
I dont get into those things, Carr said
about Allens job status.
I dont even talk about
them even to my family.
If it even tries to come up,
people want to ask ques-
tions, I dont even talk
about it, because my sole
focus is taking what
Coach Allen says, apply-
ing it to what I need to do,
and then spreading it out
and leading the offense. So as long as thats
going on, whatever the head man says, thats
what I go by.
Allen is in his third year as coach, having
won just four games in each of his rst two
seasons as the Raiders tore down the team he
and general manager Reggie McKenzie
inherited from late owner Al Davis.
But with more than $60 million in salary
cap room and a near full complement of draft
picks this offseason, the Raiders were hop-
ing to be able to rebuild quickly.
Instead they opened the season with a 19-
14 loss to the Jets that wasnt as close as the
nal score indicated and then fell behind 27-
0 after three quarters of a 30-14 loss to
Houston in the home opener.
That last game led veteran defensive back
Charles Woodson to say the team sucked
and he was embarrassed by the perform-
ance.
We need to go out and prove it on the
eld, Allen said. Talk is cheap. Weve got
to go out and play well. I think weve got
more talent on this football team and we need
to go out there and play like it on Sunday.
With a home game in London against
Miami following this weeks trip to New
England, Allen could be running out of time
to get things changed. He said he has not
talked with Davis this week, reporting as
usual to McKenzie in the normal chain of
command. He also said his only focus is on
getting ready for the Patriots.
Receiver Rod Streater said the only way to
deal with the questions is to silence them by
winning games.
We want to win, Streater said. We feel
like we have the right coaches, the staff. We
just have to continue to make the progress.
Stop killing ourselves making little mis-
takes and hurting ourselves. Once we do that,
I feel like we can be a really good team.
Raiders rookie Derek Carr focuses on job at hand
Derek Carr
Wednesdays matchup was their rst overall
game of the year. Woodside dropped its rst
scrimmage of year 9-3 Saturday against
Mills.
Were using this game to set the standard
for the season and to see what is expected of
us, Woodside head coach Raffi Alapont
said.
Alapont is in his rst year at Woodside.
He previously served as the girls head
coach at Saratoga High School. The
Wildcats open PAL Ocean Division play
Thursday against Hillsdale at Mills. Then
they travel to the Patriot 8 Tournament
Saturday at Brentwoods Heritage High
School.
We have a lot of work to do on offense
and defense, Alapont said.
In other PAL boys action, the Menlo
School boys topped Sequoia 20-6. Nikhil
Bhatia tabbed a match-high three goals for
the Knights (1-0 in PAL Bay Division, 2-0
overall) while goalkeepers Spencer Witte
and Will Crouch totaled 12 saves. The
Knights received goals from 12 different
players while Andreas Katsis paced the team
with ve assists.
Woodside girls rally late
The Lady Wildcats trailed most of the way
in Wednesdays PAL Bay Division opener,
but junior Mia Montalbano rallied
Woodside with two late goals to overtake
Half Moon Bay 12-10.
Montalbano scored a season-high four
goals and saved the best two for last.
Woodside trailed by as many as three goals
early on, but rallied back to tie it in the
fourth quarter. Terez Touhey scored her lone
goal of the match to tie it at 10-10 just
before she received a major-foul ejection.
Then Montalbano stepped up with back-to-
back midrange goals inside the last ve
minutes of the game. But Montalbano took
charge after the ejection of Woodsides best
player in Touhey.
I told the girls, Weve still got this,
Montalbano said. I just
tried to get us red up.
Yet the third-year var-
sity junior Montalbano
was still frustrated with a
shot she had blocked in
the waning seconds when
Half Moon Bays keeper
denied her the magic
number of five match
goals.
Her hands were so
long and she blocked it, Montalbano said.
Montalbanos mood of frustration is by
design; specically, the design of Woodside
head coach Laura Reynolds. Entering her
seventh year at the Wildcats varsity helm,
Reynolds earned Central Coast Section
Girls Water Polo Coach of the Year honors
last season after leading Woodside to its
second straight PAL Ocean Division title.
Despite her teams 4-1 overall record,
Reynolds is still intent on motivating her
squad after almost letting Wednesdays game
slip away.
Im trying to gure out how to kick our
girls butts, Reynolds said.
Reynolds was content with the mindset of
her team despite facing a decit throughout
the rst three quarters.
Its the rst time my girls have kept their
cool and not panicked, she said.
Woodside is relying on a new goalkeeper
this season in senior Cole Alves, who
tabbed 11 blocks and three steals. At 5-foot-
4, Alves isnt a prototypical goalkeeper,
but she was needed to replace graduated
2013 PALOcean Division Goalie of the Year
Emily Dunlap.
Our goalie rocked it today, Reynolds
said. Cole has been really nervous about
lling Emilys shoes, but she was amazing
today.
In non-league action, The Castilleja girls
downed Sequoia 8-1. Anna Yu had a match-
high four goals for Castilleja. In PAL Ocean
Division play, Aragon improved its league
record to 2-0 by downing Menlo 12-3. In
West Catholic Athletic League play, Sacred
Heart Prep (1-0 in WCAL, 7-0 overall)
defeated Presentation 15-2. Maddy Johnson
red a match-high ve goals for the Gators.

hosting CSM this week, Butte travels to
last years Valley North Conference champi-
on Fresno City College (2-0).
We usually play our best football at the
end of October, Butte head coach Jeff
Jordan said. Obviously, Id love to be play-
ing some of those schools later on. But I
think overall, the way is the structure is
now, I think it will be a positive thing in
the long run for all the programs.
Last season, Butte met CSM and Santa
Rosa in conference play. The isolated
Oroville-based school relies on many out-
of-area recruits to man its roster. Many of
its players do not arrive on campus until
August and privy to summer practices. It
doesnt give the Roadrunners a lot of time to
prepare for some of the states best teams.
With a barrage of freshman transfers,
Butte could certainly use the time. The road-
runner exported the 2013 NorCal
Conference Offensive Player of the Year,
quarterback Thomas Stuart, to Boise State.
The Roadrunners also transferred corner-
back Denzel Conyers to the University of
Maryland. And the teams top returning run-
ning back, Kendall Williams, was lost for
the season when he sustained a fractured hip
in the teams second scrimmage of the year.
When you lose three freshmen of that
caliber, theres some voids that need to be
lled, Jordan said. I think were in the
process of lling those. But were just not
to that stage yet.
The Roadrunners got a breakout perform-
ance from running back Marvel Harris in
their opening-week win 34-21 over Chabot
College. The sophomore totaled 134 yards
and a touchdown on 17 carries. However,
last week, he managed just 15 rushing
yards.
He brings some speed to it, Jordan said.
Hes a smaller back, and he runs very hard
but I dont know if he can hold up to being
that 24-25-carries-a-game type of running
back. So, were going to have to move the
ball around a little bit to keep him from
being injured.
Butte ultimately utilized four backs, run-
ning for 103 yards in the game. Santa Rosa
triumphed in total yards, outgaining Butte
500-260.
CSM has relied on a surprise rusher
through the opening weeks as well in quar-
terback Jeremy Cannon. The freshman
motored for a team-high 99 running yards
last week, with most of his carries coming
via designed runs, according to Pollack.
He looked strong and explosive in the
game, Pollack said. I thought he looked
better than he did against Siskiyous running
the ball.
Pollack welcomes going up against Butte
in nonconference play some ve weeks
earlier than last year.
I want stronger opponents early,
Pollack said. I think thats good for us
early. Its what I wanted.
CSM
PATRICK NGUYEN
CSM quarterback Jeremy Cannon rushed for a team-high 99 yards in the Bulldogs51-26 win
over Modesto last Saturday night. CSM improved to 2-0 with the win.
the ball. James Jones, a free agent pickup
from the Green Bay Packers, is the teams
most procient pass catcher. After that,
tight end Mychal Rivera could develop into
a decent weapon.
The rest of the receiving corps? It
appears the only thing at which they are
good is dropping passes.
As bad as the Raiders offense has been
averaging 14 points per game the
defense has been even worse. Despite
spending millions trying to shore up the
defensive side of the ball with a slew of free
agent signings, teams are still basically
doing whatever they want. Most distress-
ing is the Raiders inability to stop the
opposing teams run game. The Jets shred-
ded them for 212 yards, while the Texans
gouged them for 188. Not stopping the run
means the opposition controls the clock
and keeps the Raiders offense off the eld.
Not an ideal way to win ball games.
And things have a chance to get worse.
Sunday, Oakland travels to New England to
face an angry Patriots squad. Oakland is 0-
14 in games in the Eastern time zone. That
is followed by a home game in London
against the Miami Dolphins. There is a
good chance the Raiders could start the sea-
son 0-4.
If that happens, look for at least one
change that being the ring of Allen,
who built a reputation as a defensive coor-
dinator with the Denver Broncos, which
makes the Raiders defensive deciencies
even more ironic.
The Raiders have a former NFL head
coach on staff, Tony Sparano, who was the
head man at Miami. It would be very easy
to just slide him into the head spot in
Oakland.
Two more losses could also mean the end
of McKenzies tenure as well, although that
move probably would not happen until the
end of the season. McKenzie learned the
player personnel game under former Green
Bay Packers G.M. Ron Wolf.
Apparently he didnt learn much because
hes swung and missed more often than
not, not only in the draft but in free agency
as well. The last two years, he has traded
for a veteran quarterback who was to come
in and be the savior. Last year, it was Matt
Flynn. This season, it is Matt Schaub. Not
only has neither panned out, the two com-
bined for only one start.
To take some of the pressure off, Oakland
needs to be at least competitive over the
next two weeks. But if the last 34 games
are any indication, dont hold your breath.
***
The Half Moon Bay community lost a
beloved member of the family when Half
Moon Bay High School defensive line
coach Rocky Perry passed away Saturday.
He was 58 years old.
According to reports, Perry suffered an
apparent heart attack before the Cougars
game against Monterey two weeks ago. A
source told me last week that he was
improving, but the Half Moon Bay Review
reported he suffered another heart attack
last Thursday and passed away two days
later, hours after the Cougars posted their
rst win of the season, a 59-27 win over
Santa Clara.
The Review also reported a Memorial
Mass will be held at 3:30 p.m., Oct. 2 at
Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church in
Half Moon Bay.

Fan heckling Harper in
Atlanta ejected by umpire
Umpire Tim Welke heard a foul-mouthed
fan heckling Bryce Harper and decided it was
time for the man to go.
Welke took off his mask, pointed to the
fan and ejected him from Turner Field in
Atlanta during Tuesday nights game
between the Washington Nationals and
Braves.
Theres no place for that, Welke told the
Associated Press on Wednesday. Forget
that it was directed at that player. Enough is
enough.
The longtime crew chief said he saw the
fan come down to the backstop and start
shouting in the sixth inning. Welke turned
around, identied the man and had an usher
escort him away.
Hey! Hey! Get rid of that guy! Welke can
be heard on video from the game. Get rid of
him now! Get rid of him!
Welke said Harper thanked him the next
time he came up. The umpire said he told the
Nationals star: Its OK to boo ya, but its
not OK to use that kind of language.

T3:35. A19,272 (48,633).
Andrew Chan, making his second
major league start, tied it in the
Arizona second with an RBI single
off Madison Bumgarner. The hit came
in Chans rst big league at-bat.
Bumgarner labored through six
innings, allowing at least two
baserunners in the rst three. Trying
for his 19th win, he gave up seven
hits and struck out six.
I was having to battle and try to
make pitches and keep us in the
game, Bumgarner said. Fortunately,
I was able to do it.
The Giants took the lead in the fth
thanks to an ineld hit, a walk, a wild
pitch and a pair of sacrices that pro-
duced one run.
Bumgarner gave up the tying run in
the bottom of the fth, when A.J.
Pollock ran home on a thrown third
strike that bounced to Giants catcher
Andrew Susac.
Susac threw out Mark Trumbo at
rst base, but Pollock hustled to the
plate on the throw and beat Buster
Poseys return throw to Susac.
Chan allowed two runs on three
hits with four walks and two strike-
outs in six innings.

Extended warranties a big
sell. But are they worth it?
By Carole Feldman
WASHINGTON Offers of
extended warranties or service
contracts are becoming the norm,
whether you buy a big-ticket item
like a car or kitchen appliance or a
less expensive one like a televi-
sion or phone.
The plans basically are insur-
ance policies in case something
goes wrong, but they come at a
price.
Federal Trade Commission staff
attorney Svetlana Gans says con-
sumers should research a service
plan before deciding whether to
buy an extended warranty. But she
acknowledges that could be dif-
cult, since many of them are
offered at the same time the prod-
uct is purchased.
The FTC says on its website that
a service contract might not be
worth the price.
And Anthony Giorgianni, asso-
ciate nance editor of Consumer
Reports Money Adviser newslet-
ter, says, You can go broke basi-
cally insuring everything you
buy.
So how do you decide whether to
purchase one?
I would definitely look at
the duration and when the cov-
erage act ual l y st art s, Gans
says. If it begins immediately,
does it overlap with the manu-
facturers warranty?
Also, consider whether the serv-
ice plan costs more than repairs
would, she says.
Find out whats covered and
whats excluded, Gans advises.
Does it cover spilling coffee on
your computer keyboard, for
example, or just defects in the
device itself?
And if something goes wrong,
where do you le a claim or bring
the product for repair? This is
important since many service-
contract providers are third par-
ties, not the stores where the item
was purchased, she says.
One of those providers is
SquareTrade, which offers protec-
tion plans for a range of smart-
phones, computers, electronics,
home appliances and other prod-
ucts. Ty Shay, the companys
chief marketing ofcer, says pur-
chasing a protection plan is an
individual decision how you
feel about the item and whether
you can live without it.
Shay said the company has sold
tens of millions of protection

SquareTrades plans are for prod-

They cover accidents, drops,

not loss or theft. If you have a

the option of getting a replace-

the phone to an Apple store for
repairs and then being reimbursed
for the cost to x it.

Consumer Reports Giorgianni
doesnt think service contracts are
worth the money.
Youre basically paying a fee
on the possibility that the thing
may malfunction, break or other
ways go bad in ways that will con-
form to the ne print in that cov-
erage, he says.
Consumers would be better off,
he says, amassing a repair fund
should something go wrong. I
love extended warranties and serv-
ice contracts but only the ones
you sell yourself, he says. Look
at the price of that contract and put
the money in the bank and hold it
there.
Some consumers might have
another option: extended cover-
age through home insurance.
All personal property under the
homeowner policy could be cov-
ered, as well as the main systems
of the home, says Rebecca
Galovich, assistant vice president
of personal lines at Hartford Steam
Boiler, which provides home-sys-
tems protection coverage.
Insurance coverage is designed
for the accidents regardless of the
cause, she says. It could be
human error. It could be improper
maintenance.
For example, she says, a at-
screen TV might fall off the wall.
Your warranty is not going to
cover that type of event.
Galovich says HSB works with
more than 200 property and casu-
alty companies to provide cover-
age, but the company wouldnt
identify them. She suggested that
consumers ask their insurance
providers whether the coverage is
available.

SUBURBAN LIVING 17
By Katherine Roth
Although the thought of sleeping with
millions of dust mites microscopic
arachnids that feast on akes of skin is
just plain gross, its something most peo-
ple can handle without worry. After all, our
bodies are inhabited by multitudes of bacte-
ria, to which we seldom give a thought.
For the many people who suffer from
allergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite
feces and body parts can lead to chronic
sinus problems and coughing, among other
symptoms. If gone untreated, the problem
can escalate to eczema and asthma, particu-
larly in children, according to James
Sublett, president-elect of the American
College of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology.
The sooner you intervene, the less like-
ly the problems are to escalate, he said.
Luckily, homes can be made more livable
for allergy-sufferers and less amenable to
dust mites in just a few steps.
About a quarter of Americans suffer from
some sort of allergy and of those one-half
to two-thirds are sensitive to dust-mite
allergens, according to Sublett, making it
one of the most common causes of aller-
gies.
Around the world, dust mites are the most
common indoor allergen, said Robert
Wood, director of the pediatric allergy and
immunology division of Johns Hopkins
University.
If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the
rst step is to get tested by an allergist.
While periodically replacing all your bed-
ding might seem to make sense, experts say
its unnecessary for those without allergies
and insufcient for allergy sufferers.
Instead, these tips from allergists can
help make any home friendlier to those with
indoor allergies, dust mites included:
1. Keep It Dry. One of the biggest and
most common mistakes people make is to
install vaporizers and humidiers, Sublett
said. Moisture can and does cause all kinds
of problems. Dust mites cant survive in
Making the indoors safer for allergy sufferers

As the bumper sticker on my truck
reads, Compost Happens.
Sometimes, however, it doesnt hap-
pen fast enough.
That problem usually can be traced to
some limiting factor in what a pile is
fed, or to issues of moisture or aera-
tion.
FEED YOUR PILE
Compost piles work most quickly if
the two most important foodstuffs
carbon and nitrogen are in balance.
Old, usually brown and dry plant mate-
rials, such as autumn leaves, straw, hay
and sawdust, are rich in carbon. The
older the plant material, the more car-
bon it has. Nitrogen-rich materials
include succulent, green plant parts,
such as tomato stalks, vegetable waste
from the kitchen and grass clippings,
as well as manures. Nitrogen fertilizers
are concentrated sources of nitrogen,
and are the active ingredient of com-
mercial compost activators.
As autumn approaches, an excess of
compostable materials rich in carbon
build up, so the way to speed up com-
posting of piles built in the next few
weeks is to add supplemental nitrogen.
No need to balance nitrogen and car-
bon materials exactly, because
microorganisms will eventually do it
for you, albeit slowly if the excess is
of carbon foods.
Also, theres more at play than just
carbon and nitrogen ratios. Particle
sizes, for instance. Chopping the raw
materials gives microorganisms more
surface area to chew on initially. A
machete is a handy, cheap and satisfy-
ing tool for this job.
QUENCH YOUR PILES THIRST
Another frequent cause of a sluggish
compost pile is insufcient moisture.
Sun and wind dry out piles that are free-
Compost Happens: Tips for making it happen right
If dust-mite allergies are suspected, the rst step is to get tested by an allergist.
Any pile of living or once-living materials will eventually turn to compost.

less than 50 percent humidity, so buy a
humidity meter and, if needed, a dehumidi-
fier to keep humidity to between 35 per-
cent and 50 percent. Just three hours
above that level of humidity, though, is
enough to keep the dust mites alive, he
said.
2. Rip out the rugs and ditch the drapes.
Carpet and heavy drapes are a reservoir for
allergens like dust mites and should be
removed, particularly in bedrooms. If
removing them isnt an option, the
American College of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology recommends frequent vacu-
uming using a HEPA (high-efficiency par-
ticulate air) filter.
ALLERGY
standing or enclosed by wire mesh. Asolid-
walled bin speeds things along by holding in
moisture and generated warmth.
Theres often not enough water when you
gather together quantities of dry materials,
such as autumn leaves. The cure, of course, is
to add water, and an effective way to do this is
by adding raw materials in layers, watering
each layer as the pile grows.
LET YOUR PILE BREATHE
The opposite condition, too much water,
also slows composting. And soggy ingredi-
ents lead to another common composting
problem a pile that gives off offensive
odors or attracts ies. When too much water
gets into a compost pile, air is displaced and
a new set of microorganisms go to work, ones
that work slowly and malodorously.
The cure for a waterlogged pile is aeration,
accomplished either by stirring the pile, or
by turning and rebuilding it. Rotating drum
bins make it especially easy to stir ingredi-
ents.
Odors due to poor aeration also result when
piles contain too many dense, succulent, raw
materials, such as grass clippings or kitchen
waste. These materials compound the odor
problem because they are rich in nitrogen,
which is vented off as ammonia. In this case,
turning the pile and adding some uffy, high-
carbon material, such as straw, puts things in
order.

number one by the council and would cost
$10 million to $20 million. The Community
Center was ranked number two and would cost
$35 million to $40 million. City Hall safety
improvement ranked third and would cost
$11.5 million. Number four was the $4 mil-
lion Bayview Park, while a $1.6 million
police station improvement ranked fth.
Sixth was the $25 million downtown
streetscape that would expand the streetscape
of Burlingame Avenue to the rest of down-
town. The councils preferences combined
with results from an online survey, show a
parking structure is being a number one need,
Bayview Park as being the number two need
and the downtown streetscape as being the
third most critical need. Additionally, operat-
ing costs can go up when new facilities are
built, according to a staff report.
The city wants to move forward as quickly
as possible with City Hall and City Manager
Lisa Goldman said she believes the particular
piece of property is valuable. Ross Bruce, of
AVR Realty on Broadway, said hed like to
see a City Hall plaza with parking below and
housing above, increasing height levels
might be way to get parking.
It would be really cool place to live,
Bruce said. It would be really fun.
I personally wouldnt agree with City Hall
being ranked third, said Councilwoman Ann
Keighran. I like the idea of doing one big
project and one small project. I feel like
theres so many factors; Im not exactly sure
where to start.
Councilmembers threw out the idea of a
public/private partnership for building some
of the infrastructure needs. Keighran noted
the city needs to keep in mind that the public
may not be interested in increased density.
Some are interested in a public/private part-
nership for City Hall, Goldman said.
Funding is one of the number one concerns
for council. Aside from public/private part-
nerships, nancing options include debt
nancing, a pay-as-you-go approach, tax
revenue increases such as parcel taxes, utili-
ty user taxes, sales tax increases or a busi-
ness license ordinance overall and various
bonds.
I dont advocate for raising sales taxes,
but the county is at its limit, so I dont think
its an option, said Mayor Michael
Brownrigg. We do have a proposal to build
the city a parking structure for free; we could
explore that approach.
One developer approached the city during a
study session and said if the city gave him
two parking lots, he would then build a park-
ing structure and mixed-use project on anoth-
er parcel, Nagel said.
There are a lot of variables on deciding how
to nance and choose which projects to pri-
oritize, Nagel said.
When were shaping any kind of proposal
that requires public approval, were going to
have to mix and match a little bit to make it
attractive, she said. I do think we should
try to explore the partnerships as rapidly as
possible. Lets face it, were not going to get
much of this done unless we get creative.
In terms of adding needed parking down-
town, Nagel said two structures on different
sides might better serve the public.
Meanwhile, Ortiz noted the rankings for
project priorities may change as time goes
on, so its important to stay flexible.
Brownrigg agreed.
I dont want to be locked into this priori-
ties list, Brownrigg said. It has taken us a
pretty long time to get here and I want to
keep the momentum.
One way of keeping this momentum going
is to put out a request for proposals for the
City Hall and a parking structure, Goldman
said.
PROJECTS
said. With about nine ofcers now on long-
term disability, an increasing number opting
to take positions in other cities and an aver-
age of 3.5 employees retiring each year, these
stafng changes should help keep the depart-
ment ahead of the curve, Decker said.
A lot of things have changed, the market
has changed. In 2012 staff in the police
department did what we had to do to support
the nancial situation of the city. It was the
right thing to do, Decker said. Now, other
agencies are doing things, giving incentives
and doing what they can to retain their of-
cers. ... What it comes down to, we want to
have the most competitive packages we can
because we want to attract top-tier candi-
dates.
The competition is exacerbated by the San
Francisco Police Department looking to hire
500 new ofcers and the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce seeking 50 new deputies, in
part to staff the new jail, Decker and City
Manager Larry Patterson said.
As the cost of living has increased and hir-
ing lateral employees has become more com-
petitive, San Mateo can prepare for expected
vacancies by seeking men and women who are
entering the police academy, Patterson said.
Weve had some recent success from brin-
ing ofcers over as laterals, but theres a lim-
ited pool of ofcers prepared to make a move
and theres still other agencies out there com-
peting for them. So what weve found, in
essence, it was better to nd and train our own
ofcers, Patterson said.
The entire process from when an ofcer
enters the academy and completes eld train-
ing typically takes more than a year and by
approaching trainees in advance, the city can
readily ll vacancies when they arise,
Patterson said.
Hiring ofcers early on can also strengthen
and mold the police culture in San Mateo,
Patterson and Decker said.
We get to go vet the top recruits in the
academy, we get them early on as opposed to
late in the game, Decker said. We essential-
ly get San Mateo patches on their shoulders as
soon as possible. The advantage is essential-
ly getting them committed to the city of San
Mateo and the police department at the very
onset of their career and we can probably get
them in here and hopefully have them for 25
years.
Patterson agrees the new stafng model of
approaching younger recruits could help the
city prepare for the future.
In the time between when we extend the
offer and when they get into work, theyll be
lling a vacancy that [we] would otherwise be
waiting a year to ll, Patterson said.
Another factor fueling San Mateos reevalu-
ation of how it staffs its police department is
the lack of affordability growing in the Bay
Area and along the Peninsula.
Weve lost ofcers because of the com-
mute, because agencies closer to them offered
competitive packages. Its difcult certainly
with the cost of living, thats been the case for
the 16 years Ive been here, and certainly
within the last few years ... its been exagger-
ated, Decker said.
Patterson said the police department sacri-
ced two full-time positions during the reces-
sion and Decker said ofcers continued to
remain dedicated to the force. But with the
economy improving and the competition
intensifying, Decker said he hopes the citys
expenditures for three new positions will ease
the departments stafng crunch.
We have ofcers that stay late or come in
early and theyre willing to do what they can
to keep the city safe. ... But what were look-
ing to do is get ahead of the vacancies,
Decker said. I hope this gets us ahead of the
game and I hope this gets us caught up.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Color and decorative pieces can improve
the look of a home outside as well as in. Add
trim boards, columns or porch accessories
and you can dress up the facade of a house,
improving its value and curb appeal.
Just be sure to consider the homes style,
age and location.
The style of the house drives the type of
materials you might add, said architect
Carolyn Dias of Lampert Dias Architects in
San Clemente, California. A cottage cant
be transformed to a Spanish Colonial.
Neighborhood associations or local build-
ing departments also might impose restric-
tions on what can be done to a homes exte-
rior and what paint colors can be used.
In any case, pay attention to how neigh-
boring homes look when changing yours.
You want your house to look like it belongs,
said Shari Hiller of PBS Around the House
with Matt and Shari.
She recommends scouting nearby streets
for inspiration.
PAINT
See what paint colors the neighbors have
chosen, what features they are highlighting
and how many colors they have used.
Hiller typically recommends just two to
four colors for a houses exterior. Often,
homeowners choose one color for the bulk
of the house; similar or complementary col-
ors for windows, gutters and other trim
pieces; and a pop of contrasting color on the
door or shutters.
Highlighting the door or shutters with
color is an easy way to make a big impact,
said Hiller.
And drawing attention to the front door is
always a good idea. You want people to
notice where guests generally enter your
home, she explained. Its nice to make a
statement there.
Consider the roof color as well, she added.
Roofs tend to be in either cool or warm col-
ors, and your paint choice should be in the
same family.
Where you live could drive your choices.
Florida houses tend to be painted in a differ-
ent palette often shades of peach, beige
and gold than homes in New England or
the Midwest, for example, said Hiller, who
lives in Sarasota. Some colors, such as
maroon and other earthy shades, make more
sense on Colonial homes than coastal cot-
tages, which are often painted in ocean-
inspired blues and greens, she said.
Paint stores can provide ideas about what
colors are right for different building styles.
TRIM AND OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS
Veneers layers of material added after
construction that do not offer structural sup-
port are another way to change the out-
side of a home. Adding a wood, brick or
stone veneer creates color and texture, Dias
said. Veneers cost about $10 to $20 a square
foot.
There are many kinds of veneers and they
are fairly easy to apply, Dias said.
Exterior wainscoting panels are another
way to add interest to a facade. The panels,
usually embellished with a raised or recessed
design, can draw attention to a window,
porch or other architectural detail.
If you have a front porch, you can create a
new look by adding or embellishing its
columns, said Dave Morris of Nashville,
Tennessee, who operates the website
www.front-porch-ideas-and-more.com .
Changes can be simple, like hanging
decorative brackets where the columns
meet the roof, or complex, like installing
columns or adding stone or brickwork to
them. Morris, too, emphasizes staying true
to the architectural style of your home. For
example, dont add Victorian-style ginger-
bread trim to a modern house.
Brackets and balusters come in a variety
of materials and styles.
Think about what effect you want to
have something subtle or something
that really stands out, Morris said.
When Lynn and Dennis Zawie decided to
add rails and balusters to the porch that runs
around two sides of their 1925 Dutch
Colonial house, they wanted the trim
pieces to look as original as possible. The
Stony Brook, New York, residents visited
lumber yards and big-box stores, and
looked at dozens of photos of houses
online.
I really wanted it to look like it had been
here forever, said Lynn Zawie. I was very
concerned about changing the look and the
feel of the house.
The couple nally decided to go with
wood balusters, even though they would
require more upkeep. The addition of 300
white balusters and a stained-wood top rail-
ing dramatically improved the look of the
home, they say.
It just adds to it, she said. It makes it
stand out more.
Exterior decorating: Updating with paints, trims
Pay attention to how neighboring homes look when changing yours. You want your house
to look like it belongs.

EHC took a step back from its plans
in March after the owners of the
blighted Charter Square retail site were
confronted by negative community
feedback while presenting a proposal
at a City Council study session early in
the year, Councilman Herb Perez said.
When they watched what happened
with Charter Square, they realized they
should probably go out and get com-
munity input, Perez said. Thats
responsible development. Those are
guys that want to be community part-
ners.
EHC has adjusted its preliminary
proposal to include 59,300 square feet
of retail space with 272 parking
spaces, 150 waterfront townhomes and
ats with 244 parking spaces and a res-
idential rooftop pool and garden,
Community Development Director
Curtis Banks said.
The new proposal has recongured
the site by having the commercial and
housing spaces primarily separated
with only a small portion of the retail
below a few residential units, Banks
said.
Currently, the shopping center at
Edgewater and Beach Park boulevards
covers about 123,300 square feet split
between about 35 stores and business,
which includes a Lucky Supermarket, a
nail salon, two tutoring centers, two
dry cleaners, a bank and several restau-
rants.
Many of the businesses at Edgewater
have long-term leases and the hope is
some will be able to remain after the
redevelopment, Perez said.
Perez, who runs a martial arts studio
at Edgewater, said he will have to
recuse himself from voting on any
proposal but was happy with the way
EHC is incorporating outside input and
hosting meetings.
In general terms, whether its [EHC]
or someone else, the very rst thing
they should do is community outreach
and the reason is, Foster City is a
small community that values its quali-
ty of life, Perez said. Why would you
come up with a plan in a vacuum and
hope that it passes?
Thus far, EHC has held at least one
meeting with a neighboring
Homeowners Association and will
hold another this Friday and the fol-
lowing, said Stan Lew, lead architect
on the project.
We think its good that the immedi-
ate neighbors know so far what the
plans are for the center and whats
being discussed and considered, Lew
said.
The plans are conceptual and prelim-
inary and although the recent meetings
are geared toward neighboring resi-
dents and businesses, EHC welcomes
communitywide feedback and will like-
ly come before council in October, Lew
said.
EHC declined to comment further on
the project until the process is farther
along.
Perez said he attended one of the
meetings and tenants were concerned
about which would be able to stay after
the redevelopment. The public com-
ment varied, but generally residents
expressed concerns about the impacts
of additional housing such as the
effects on the already overcrowded
schools, Perez said.
How many more units of housing
can we reasonably absorb before it
affects our quality of life? And thats a
huge concern I hear from our residents
every time housing is proposed,
Perez said. Smart growth is vertical,
thats environmentally sound. But in
this city, were horizontal, nobody
wants more people, nobody wants the
trafc that goes along with it.
Perez noted the city has received
numerous redevelopment proposals in
recent years, including the Marina
Center, Charter Square, the 15-acre-
site and Pilgrim Triton. With the
expansion of Gilead and 800,000
square feet of ofce space proposed at
Chess-Hatch, new employees will need
places to live, Perez said.
The quality of Foster Citys life
comes at a cost and the question is how
do we maintain that quality of life
without maintain revenue sources. And
the only thing we have left is property
taxes and redevelopment property
taxes, Perez said. The most success-
ful [retail] is Edgewater Plaza. But even
there, what it gets is property taxes
from 30 years [ago]. Anything that
gets redeveloped we get infinitely
more property tax from.
As EHC is requesting a land use
amendment from commercial to mixed
use, the proposal is bound by the
citys new gatekeeper ordinance by
which it will rst be heard by the City
Council before the developer turns in a
formal application, Banks said.
Although there is no rm timeline,
EHC could come before the City
Council with its proposal as early as
October, Banks said.
EHC will hold its next neighbor-
hood meeting 2:30 p.m. Friday, at
Chevys Fresh Mex Restaurant at 979
Edgewater Blvd., Foster City.

event.
Tasting opportunities are hosted by a
range of businesses such as a coffee
shop, jewelry store, bank and book-
store. The typically non-alcohol serv-
ing establishments are available by the
DSMAsecuring a one-day liquor license
for each of the 18 participants, Bednarik
said.
However, unfortunately per the
California Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control, Saturdays tastings
cannot be held at downtown restaurants
unless theyre willing to trade in their
regular liquor license for a temporary
Wine Walk one, Bednarik said.
In past years, they really werent
able to participate. So last year we just
reached out and said hey, why dont you
team up with one of the merchants and
offer some sort of food pairing?
Bednarik said. People get to learn more
about downtown restaurants and restau-
rants can take the opportunity from any-
where from 800 to 900 people strolling
downtown and being hungry after sip-
ping wine for three hours.
Fusion Peruvian Grill, 31st Union,
Block 34 and Vault 164 have donated
food pairings and there will three hydra-
tion stations with complimentary water
bottles set up at businesses during the
event.
Bednarik has been the primary organ-
izer of this years event since the
DSMAs previous executive director
Jessica Evans unexpectedly resigned in
July. Currently, the DSMAis still nal-
izing its desired qualications for a new
director and will be accepting applica-
tions soon, Bush said.
More than 80 volunteers, including
people from College of San Mateo and
city staff, are supporting the Wine
Walk, said Donna Divodi, who works in
the city managers ofce and is a volun-
teer coordinator for the Wine Walk.
We have a great volunteer spirit here,
theres no question, in the city of San
Mateo, Divodi said. Community
engagement is really what volunteering
is all about, it brings the community
closer together.
The proceeds from the event go back
to the community by helping fund other
annual DSMA events such as the free
Halloween Fun Fest and Christmas on
North B Street, Bednarik said. Overall,
the event draws people from all over the
Bay Area to enjoy a unique and intimate
afternoon celebrating what downtown
San Mateo has to offer, Bednarik said.
The merchants that are participating
have participated for years and they
look forward to this event, theres
wineries from all over the Bay Area.
Its just a fun, relaxing three-hour event
and way to spend your day, Bednarik
said. And we encourage people to stay
after the Wine Walk and either dine
downtown, go see a movie or take a
stroll through Central Park.
The 18th annual Downtown San
Mateo Wine Walk is 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 20. Tickets are $30 in
advance and $40 the day of the event.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California at its regu-
lar meeting on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, starting at 7:00 p.m. at 1555 Crystal Springs Blvd (the
Senior Center), San Bruno, held a Public Hearing regarding adoption of three ordinances to
amend the Municipal Code to implement Housing Element programs pursuant state housing ele-
ment law, Government Code (section 65580-65590). The City Council considered taking the fol-
lowing actions, summarized as follows:
(1) add Chapter 12.240 to establish a Reasonable Accommodation Process for persons with dis-
abilities; (2) add Chapter 12.250 to establish a Density Bonus Program; and (3) amend Section
12.80.445 to add Transitional Housing and Supportive Housing as permitted uses within the defi-
nition of Special Residential Care Facility. The City Council waived the first reading and intro-
duced the ordinances for adoption by the following vote: Ibarra, Medina, OConnell, Salazar,
Mayor Ruane, all ayes. Then at the City Councils regular meeting on September 9, 2014, they
waived the second reading and introduced the ordinances for final adoption by the following vote:
Ibarra, Medina, OConnell, Salazar, Mayor Ruane, all ayes.
Ordinance Summary:
The Citys current 2007-2014 Housing Element includes three programs designed to implement
state law requirements and to support the City goal to plan for decent housing and a suitable liv-
ing environment to meet the existing and project housing needs of all economic segments of the
community. State law requires the City to adopt these changes during the current Housing Ele-
ment cycle. The three ordinances are summarized below:
Reasonable accommodations. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to establish
a procedure to make reasonable accommodations (i.e., modifications or exceptions) that afford
disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
Density bonus. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code to incorporate State Densi-
ty Bonus Law into the land use code, including defining incentives such as reductions in open
space and setbacks, etc. The law allows developers who offer affordable units in their develop-
ments a density bonus, enabling the construction of more units than the zoning ordinance would
typically permit, as well as incentives and waivers for reductions in development standards to fa-
cilitate the construction of affordable units.
Transitional and supportive housing. This ordinance amends the Municipal Code
defini-
tion of special residential care facilities to include transitional and supportive housing, allowed
by right in residential zones. Transitional housing is defined as rental housing, which may be des-
ignated for homeless individuals or families transitioning to permanent housing, for stays of at
least six months and re-circulated to another program recipient after a set period. Supportive
housing has no limit on the length of stay, is linked to onsite or offsite services, and is occupied
by a target population such as low income persons with physical or mental disabilities.

JERUSALEM A deal reached on war-
battered Gazas reconstruction is set to be
implemented in the coming months, with
the amount of building materials entering
the territory expected to quadruple, a U.N.
ofcial said Wednesday, in the rst details
of the agreement to emerge.
James Rawley, a U.N. Mideast envoy,
said that under a mechanism agreed to by
the Palestinians, Israel and the U.N., up to
800 truckloads of construction materials
will enter Gaza per day a jump from the
200 or so trucks that enter now, he said.
This facilitates recovery and reconstruc-
tion of Gaza and were hoping that this step
in the right direction will set the stage for
an even more meaningful opening of the
crossings, Rawley, the deputy U.N. envoy
for the Mideast peace process, told the
Associated Press.
The details of the deal are a crucial part of
Gazas rebuilding after the 50-day war this
summer that pulverized parts of the territo-
ry, flattening entire neighborhoods and
reducing houses to rubble. The agreement
comes ahead of a donor conference in
Egypt next month, where international
benefactors will be looking for guarantees
that their pledges materialize into actual
construction. Palestinian officials esti-
mate rebuilding Gaza could cost $6 bil-
l i on.
The U.N. says some 18,000 homes were
destroyed or severely damaged in the ght-
ing. More than 2,100 Palestinians were
killed in the war, about three-fourths of
them civilians, according to Palestinian
and U.N. ofcials. On the Israeli side, 66
soldiers and six civilians were killed. Israel
and Hamas agreed to a cease-re last month.
Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on
Gaza after Hamas overran the territory in
2007. The embargo was meant to isolate
the Islamic militant Hamas and perhaps
loosen its grip on power.
Trade and travel has been severely
restricted, and the entry of goods includ-
ing construction materials has also been
limited. Israel says Hamas has in the past
diverted cement and steel imported for
schools and homes for military purposes,
including to build underground tunnels used
in attacks against Israel.
Rawley said the U.N. will monitor the
goods from their point of purchase to the
end user in Gaza, addressing Israeli security
concerns that the materials could be used by
Hamas militants.
He said that building in Gaza requires
Israel to approve some 100 million dol-
lars worth of projects, something that the
new deal does not address, although talks
are taking place on the issue.

MONROVIA, Liberia People critically
ill with Ebola languishing in an ambulance
for hours as paramedics seek a place for
them. Treatment centers lling up as soon
as they are opened. The situation is so dire
in Liberia that its president welcomed a U.S.
pledge to send troops and treatment centers,
but said much more needs to be done.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on
Wednesday urged the world community to
redouble efforts to battle the disease, which
could spread into other countries after
already hitting ve West African nations.
Our American partners realize Liberia
cannot defeat Ebola alone, Sirleaf said in a
written statement. We hope this decision
by the United States will spur the rest of the
international community into action ... The
entire community of nations has a stake in
ending this crisis.
Even as the promises of aid came, the
risks of such help were underscored as yet
another international health care worker fell
ill while trying to help sick patients in
Liberia. Doctors Without Borders also
known by its French acronym MSF said
the female French employee would be evac-
uated to a special treatment center in France
after being placed into isolation on Tuesday.
The infection marks the rst time an inter-
national MSF worker has contracted Ebola.
Six local staff have been infected, three of
whom died, though it was not clear that they
had become sick at work and may have con-
tracted the virus from the communities
where they lived.
More than 300 health workers have
become infected with Ebola in Guinea,
Liberia and Sierra Leone. Nearly half of
them have died, according to WHO. At least
seven international health care and aid
workers already have been taken abroad for
treatment, and concerns over health worker
infections have made it difcult to recruit
the foreign help needed to combat the epi-
demic.
Pakistan airstrikes kill
40 militants, army says
ISLAMABAD Pakistans military
launched airstrikes on ve militant hideouts
in a troubled tribal region near the border
with Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing 40
suspected ghters as part of a massive oper-
ation that began this summer.
In a statement, the military said precise
air strikes were carried out in Datta Khel, a
Taliban stronghold in North Waziristan,
where Pakistan launched a long-awaited
offensive on June 15. The region has long
been home to local and foreign militants
who carry out attacks in Pakistan and
against NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The military said it also destroyed ammu-
nition depots, and those killed included
foreigners.
It gave no details about the identity and
nationality of those killed in the strikes,
but authorities in Pakistan usually use the
term foreign militants to refer to Arabs,
Uzbeks and al-Qaida ghters. Since launch-
ing the operation, the military says it has
killed more than 1,000 local and foreign
militants, while it lost more than 80 sol-
diers.
East Ukraine casualties
rise as rebels reject deal
DONETSK, Ukraine Shelling in rebel-
held parts of east Ukraine killed at least 12
civilians on Wednesday, as a top leader of
pro-Russian rebels rejected Ukrainian legis-
lation meant to end the unrest by granting
self-rule to large swaths of the east.
The city council of Donetsk, the largest
rebel stronghold, said that shelling killed
two people in the city Wednesday and
wounded three others. In a separate state-
ment published online, the press center for
Kievs military campaign in the east said
that at least 10 civilians in the town of
Nyzhnya Krynka, 20 kilometers east of
Donetsk, had been killed by shelling.
Since a cease-re imposed on Sept. 5, the
ghting in Donetsk has been primarily lim-
ited to the north of the city, where many res-
idential neighborhoods have been caught in
the crossre of battles centered on the gov-
ernment-controlled airport.
On Wednesday, an AP reporter in that area
of Donetsk saw the remains of what
appeared to be a Grad rocket in a burned-out
building.
