SYRIAN REFUGEES RUSH TOWARD TURKEY

The owner of a key parcel on
Delaware Street just north of State
Route 92 in San Mateo is looking
to break ground by the end of the
year on 292,400 square feet of
ofces which will result in a
longtime tenant's relocation.
The 3.3-acre location at 1830 S.
Delaware St. and 470 Concar Drive
is near the Hayward Park Caltrain
station and at the center of a num-
ber of new development proposals
in the city as outlined in its Rail
Corridor Transit-Oriented
Development Plan adopted in
2005. The Delaware portion of the
proposal is the location of
TeleCenter, a family-owned appli-
ance store that's been in San
Mateo since 1974, said owner Jeff
Stern, whose father started the
company.
Stern said he understands that
growth in San Mateo is a good
thing, but fears he'll struggle to
nd a new location.
I recognize that the project that
is being proposed is benecial in
the long run for San Mateo. It's
progress and it's going to bring
businesses in one way, shape or
form and the corridor is prime for
it. It's a location that makes
sense, Stern said. From my
standpoint, I like to believe that
TeleCenter has a little bit of an
identity in San Mateo. We've been
here for so long. I guess some-
times the most economic sense
can take away a little bit of the
identity from the community and
for me, there's a little bit of sad-
ness in that.
The Hayward Park Caltrain sta-
tion has become the center for
several transit-oriented develop-
ment proposals including the
nearby residential 599-unit
Station Park Green, which is com-
prised of 12 acres at the former
Kmart and Michaels Arts and
Crafts site, and Caltrain's plans to
transform 2.7 acres of its surface
parking lot into a mixed-use com-
plex. Several apartment buildings
are either constructed, or in stages
of construction to the south.

Ten-year-old Brandon Wong

to help students
who suffer from
a serious ana-

when Gov. Jerry Brown signed
Senate Bill 1266. The story goes

A $48 million facilities bond
measure will help the Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary
School District contend with over-
owing classrooms, according to
ofcials touting it for the Nov.
ballot, but opponents contend its
unnecessary.
The Board of Trustees approved
the measure to address the fact the
district is expected to grow 20 per-
cent in the next six years. Right
now, the most substantial part of
the proposed bond is adding two-
story modulars to some campuses
at a cost of $1 million each.
Modulars have a 50-year lifespan
compared to portables that have a
25-year lifespan, according to the
district.
Were starting to have to build
up, not just out, Superintendent
Michael Milliken said. Its only
getting more expensive to acquire
land.

Police: Man caused $14K
damage by doing doughnuts
BUTLER, Pa. Police say a
Pennsylvania man caused more than
$14,000 damage to several other vehi-
cles when he took a dare to do a
doughnut with his pickup truck in a
bar parking lot.
Police say 35-year-old Brett
Whitmires truck kicked up damaging
stones as it spun in a tight circle in the
parking lot of the Beer Garden in
Washington Township on Aug. 18.
Butler County prosecutors tell the
Butler Eagle theyre willing to drop a
felony criminal mischief charge if
Whitmire, of Butler, pays for the damage.
Whitmire was arraigned by video
Tuesday as hes in a state prison on a
parole violation. His attorney called
the incident a mistake. He says
criminal mischief requires prosecutors
to prove the damage was intentional,
not just an accident.
Police: Lonely man
made repeated 911 calls
HARRISON CITY, Pa. A
Pennsylvania man has been charged
with making three 911 calls to report
bogus emergencies simply because he
was lonely and wanted paramedics to
show up.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
reports 52-year-old Gregory Shaffer
was jailed after his arraignment
Wednesday on charges of making false
reports to authorities.
Penn Township police say Shaffer
called Westmoreland Countys 911
center three times over about four
hours on July 30 with various false
complaints. The first time, Shaffer
claimed he had fallen down some stairs
and injured his head and neck.
Paramedics say they found him intoxi-
cated but otherwise well and calmly
waiting inside his home.
Online court records dont list an
attorney for Shaffer. Hes in the coun-
ty jail and faces a preliminary hearing
Tuesday.
Ig Nobel winner:
Using pork to stop nosebleeds
BOSTON Theres some truth to
the effectiveness of folk remedies and
old wives tales when it comes to seri-
ous medical issues, according to nd-
ings by a team from Detroit Medical
Center.
Dr. Sonal Saraiya and her colleagues
in Michigan found that packing strips
of cured pork in the nose of a child
who suffers from uncontrollable, life-
threatening nosebleeds can stop the
hemorrhaging, a discovery that won
them a 2014 Ig Nobel prize, the annu-
al award for sometimes inane, yet
often surprisingly practical, scientic
discoveries.
This years winners honored
Thursday at Harvard University by the
Annals of Improbable Research maga-
zine included a team of researchers
who wondered if owning a cat was bad
for your mental health; Japanese sci-
entists who tested whether banana
peels are really as slippery as cartoons
would have us believe; and Norwegian
biologists who tested whether reindeer
on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard
were frightened by humans dressed to
resemble polar bears.
As has become the custom, real
Nobel laureates handed out the prizes
and winners were given a maximum of
60 seconds to deliver their acceptance
speech,
Sticking pork products up the
patients nose was a treatment of last
resort when conventional treatments
had failed, Saraiya said, and was only
used for a very specific condition
known as Glanzmann thrombasthe-
nia, a rare condition in which blood
does not properly clot.
We had to do some out-of-the-box
thinking, she said. So thats where we
put our heads together and thought to the
olden days and what they used to do.
The 4-year-old childs nostrils were
packed with cured pork twice, and
according to their study, the nasal
vaults successfully stopped nasal hem-
orrhage promptly (and) effectively.
The method worked because there
are some clotting factors in the pork
... and the high level of salt will pull
in a lot of uid from the nose, she
said.

Wont you be my neighbor
A man was reported for going door to

on Oxford Road in Burlingame before
8:16 p.m Sunday, Sept.14.
I
wasnt born in California. I was born
in the conservative Midwestern semi-
rural town of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
The area was settled by mainly Germanic
and Norwegian stock in the mid-1800s.
They were conservative people and they
were conservative for a good reason they
had nothing when they left Europe and still
had nothing when they entered the Midwest
to farm on land that the government had
promised them. They began farming the vir-
gin prairie land that makes up South
Dakota. It was hard work.
The temperature was hot in the summer
and cold in the winter. To live there, they
had to make do with only what they could
make or produce. In this out-of-the-way
region of the Midwest, the industrial revolu-
tion only penetrated far enough to sell the
goods that were made in factories in the
east. These conservative, dedicated, hard-
working, faithful people of labor believed
that hard work would make them succeed in
this new land.
I was born in a room above a mom and
pop grocery store with my aunt acting as a
mid-wife. She was our doctor. Within a few
months, we moved to a detached, one-room,
two-bedroom house on Eighth Avenue. My
dad rented. It had a yard of sorts, mostly of
weeds. Four of my brothers and sisters went
with me, plus my dad and mom. It was
crowded but we at least had a roof over our
heads. The kitchen pantry was made into a
bedroom for my brothers and I slept on the
oor. One bedroom went to my sisters and
the other bedroom was my parents room.
Dad went off during the day to his 10-cent
an hour job shoveling coal into houses
(natural gas was not yet available) and mom
took care of the kids.
Food was hard to come by with only $20 a
week coming in so my dad did like everyone
else, he dug up the vacant lot next to our
house and planted a garden. Potatoes, car-
rots, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce,
etc. were planted and the kids weeded it (or
were supposed to) when dad was working.
There was a Morrells Meat Packing Plant in
town but my father never went there for his
meat. He knew a number of farmers and he
bargained for a quarter of a pig or cow when-
ever he could and kept the meat in the girls
room (in the winter) as we had only an ice-
box. The ice-box was used mainly in the
summer when we went to the icehouse for 25
pound blocks of ice, which we put on the
front bumper of the car and took home. The
temperature of the ice-box did not get low
enough to keep food edible very long but
that was no problem in our household as
almost all food was eaten within a day of the
folks bringing it home. I could never gure
out how my parents ever had enough money
to feed the large family.
When the garden began producing food,
any excess was canned by my mother. The
potatoes kept well in the dirt basement of
the house so we always had plenty of
"spuds for eating.
When Wednesday evening came, Mom and
Dad, as well as many of their friends would
go to the movie. My oldest sister would
baby-sit the rest of the kids. It cost 10 cents
and Wednesday was "dish night. With a pur-
chase of a ticket, you were eligible for the
drawing between features and the prize was a
glass or a dish. Winning a dish was a big
item in their lives and they would talk about
it for weeks if they won. After the show, my
parents gave themselves a treat by stopping
at the Hamburger Inn and purchasing a 10-
cent hamburger and they would split a malt-
ed milk shake.
Saturday night was a big night for my dad.
He worked six days a week but he got Sunday
off. My parents used Saturday night to go
shopping for the weekly goods that we did-
nt raise. They would dress up in their best
clothes and drive downtown to Piggly
Wiggly one of the rst supermarket of
Those were the days ...

If youre looking for a chance to truly
relax, the Mercy Center in Burlingame has
the event for you Sept. 26.
Elizabeth Murray of Monterey is visiting
the center for a daylong retreat called
Harvesting The Gifts of Autumn focused on
mindfulness. Murray wrote the book Living
Life in Full Bloom, which was released in
April and covers 120 daily Practices to deep-
en your passion, creativity and relation-
ships. She suggests gardening, art and other
paths to happiness.
Its a time to slow down and go
inward and spend some time in the gar-
dens, she said.
Activities for the retreat include making
wind wishes, making positive afrmations,
walking in silence, drawing, poetry reading
and gardening.
What I have found is when we have really
busy lives, if we can have some time in
silence in a quiet place thats beautiful it
makes time go longer and deeper; its really
healing, she said. Im hoping we will have
some humor, reections, a combination of
play, spontaneity and delight. Whether
someone is a busy execu-
tive, a mother or retired,
its good to give our-
selves time to have spiri-
tual renewal.
Meditation is going
mainstream, she said.
Being busy even
online, its very different
than relaxing by unplug-
ging and sitting in
nature, she said. It real-
ly gets us more attuned.
Even Google is offering meditation; the most
high-strung people are realizing how silence
and time in nature really helps them reboot
themselves. Alot of times people are so
tense and cramped up and they dont even real-
ize their bodies are in pain. Its kind of like if
you want to put owers in a vase; you want to
clean it up rst.
Murray lives in a historic house in
Monterey with cottages on her property that
she rents out to artists. She teaches work-
shops on photography, painting and life
mapping and hosts an art show every year.
She also travels around lecturing.
Additionally, in 1985, she helped restore
Monets garden in France. For the past 30
years, shes gone back to France every year
and photographed it. She wrote the best-sell-
ing book Monets Passion: Ideas,
Inspiration, and Insights from the Painters
Gardens featuring these photographs.
Murray has local ties to the area. Although
she grew up in Tiburon, her cousins lived on
the Peninsula. She was raised Catholic and
her uncle Frank is a retired priest in
Burlingame. Shes explored different reli-
gions since.
The tradition of Catholicism gives you a
lot of ritual, she said. Ive also had a lot of
death in my life. It teaches you about the cycle
of life and teaches you to live fully.
As a child, she said she was taught to gar-
den by little old ladies.
I grew up in Marin County and was able to
run around as a kid, she said. It becomes a
sanctuary for you and I used it for renewal and
for a spiritual place.
The upcoming retreat is the perfect time of
year, she said, as everyone is getting ready for
the harvest. Even though it is a workday,
Murray says its a way of giving oneself a
mini vacation to renew and get in touch with
his or her soul.
Its a time for someone to give them-
selves a gift of reection, she said. As they
prepare to go into the holidays, rather than
go into it with franticness, they can go in
with a little more depth and clarity. Its a time
to really reect on the gifts given and
received.
The Mercy Center is pleased to have
Murray onboard for the retreat. Mercy Center
Director Suzanne Buckley notes the Sisters of
Mercy opened their doors to everyone 33
years ago.
Even though its a Catholic retreat center,
we welcome people from all faith traditions
and no faith traditions, Buckley said. What
Elizabeth is about - creativity, art, nature -
those are the values of the Sisters of Mercy.
Its about nding the creative part of you as a
way to be enriched. We made short pro-
grams because we know the Bay Area is really
fast paced and we are trying to accommodate
people who want a break.
The event is 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Friday,
Sept. 26 at 2300 Adeline Drive in
Burlingame and is $25. Sign up at mercy-cen-
ter.org/Flyers_2014/0926ElizabethMurray/r
etreat.html. Bring a bag lunch if attending.
Space is still open and the event should be
around 35 people. She also plans to have a
weekend long retreat in May 2015.

Police searching for man possibly
involved in 2 robberies
Officers are searching for a suspect
allegedly involved in two Brisbane rob-
beries on Thursday, police said.
Around 8:40 a.m. on Thursday, a 40-
year-old woman was standing at a bus stop
in the 2800 block of Bayshore Boulevard
when a man reached into her purse and fled
towards Geneva Avenue with her wallet,
according to Daly City police.
The victim described the suspect as a
Hispanic man, about 25 years old with a
tall, slender build and no facial hair. He
was wearing black sweats, a black jacket,
a black sweatshirt with red writing, a
black beanie and tan Timberland-style
boot s.
At 11:50 a.m., a woman in her mid-50s
was walking on Geneva Avenue towards
Bayshore Boulevard when a man
approached her and said excuse me
before grabbing her purse and fleeing
towards Talbert Street, causing her to fall
forward on her face, Daly City police said.
The suspect was described
as a light-skinned male in
his mid 20s, standing about
six feet tall with a slender
build, black hair, no facial
hair, and wearing a gray
hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with any information about the
suspect or the robberies is asked to con-
tact the Daly City Police Department at
(650) 991-8119 or the Brisbane Police
Department at (415) 467-1212.
19-year-old woman
killed in Hwy 1 crash
A 19-year-old woman who died early
Sunday morning in a crash on state
Highway 1 near Half Moon Bay has been
identified by the San Mateo County coro-
ner's office as Hayward resident Karina
Benavides.
Benavides was driving a 1991 Honda
Accord north on the highway, just south of
Tunitas Creek Road around 5 a.m., accord-
ing to the California Highway Patrol.
According to the CHP, the woman
allowed her vehicle to drift into the south-
bound lane of traffic, and then onto the
dirt road shoulder.
The Honda then hit a traffic sign, rolled
several times, and the impact of the crash
ejected the driver who died at the scene,
the CHP reports.
Investigators are trying to determine the
cause of the crash, and are not yet certain
whether drugs or alcohol was a factor.
Fatal collision between pedestrian
and vehicle
The California Highway Patrol has
reported a fatal collision between a vehi-
cle and a pedestrian in South San
Francisco Saturday morning.
The accident was first reported at 1:39
a.m. at the intersection of Westborough
Boulevard and Junipero Serra Boulevard,
according to CHP officials.
No details of road closures or the vic-
tims identity were available.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos is taking stock stock of its
inventory, that is.
At the prompting of Councilman Ron
Collins, city staff will compile an invento-
ry of the recreation facilities it owns to
assess how theyre currently being utilized
and if there is the potential for better, and
possibly more nancially benecial, use in
the future.
Collins was inspired to seek such a sum-
mary after the city and elementary school
district struggled with a potential land trade
of their respective properties to accommo-
date a new charter learning center campus
and possibly eld space.
It got me thinking. After the whole land
swap issue, people asked if we were using
our facilities well and I thought maybe we
ought to nd out what we have and what we
need, Collins said.
The city-owned parcel on Crestview Drive
suggested for the swap was an underutilized
lot zoned as park land but ofcials consid-
ered seeking a vote to allow its use for the
school or potentially other residential
development. During the often testy public
meetings on the proposal, some questioned
why the city had never done anything with
the land before and its real economic value.
Having that type of information updated
and handy for all the citys recreation facili-
ties will make future conversations more
efcient because ofcials and the public
wont need to ask for further study or argue
more information is needed prior to deci-
sion-making, Collins said.
For example, he said, if
the city wants at some
point to build a new recre-
ation center or nd eld
space, it would be nice
to know what we could
use it for.
City Manager Jeff
Maltbie said the facilities
usage report will take
about four to six weeks
with a small amount of staff time. Most of
the information already exists; its just a
matter of putting it together and lling in
any gaps, Maltbie wrote in an email to the
Daily Journal.
Many of the facilities saw hours cut dur-
ing darker nancial times so there may be
the possibility of expanding programming
and raising more revenue with what already
exists, Maltbie said.
At the council meeting where Collins rst
broached the idea, Mayor Mark Olbert asked
to broaden the scope beyond existing facil-
ities to possible locations for new ones.
Olbert is specifically interested in field
space because, after the city declined the
trade of its Crestview Drive property for a
parcel adjoining Tierra Linda Middle
School, the district decided to build the new
campus there.
That basically means one of its two elds
will be taken out and the city moves back-
wards in terms of our eld capacity, Olbert
said.

Authorities catch all 5 jail escapees
All ve men have been recaptured after
their escape from a central California jail on
Friday, authorities said.
A pair of special sheriffs units caught
four of the men Saturday night, about 24
hours after they broke out of the Madera
County lockup, sheriffs spokeswoman
Erica Stuart said. No further details on where
or how they were caught were immediately
available.
Juan Lopez, 33, Jorge Lopez-Diaz, 26,
Abel Ramos, 25, Ricardo Cendejas, 19, all
of Madera, were back in custody, Stuart said.
The fifth escapee, Roel Soliz, 29, of
Chowchilla was apprehended in Fairmead
shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday after receiving
an anonymous phone tip, Madera County
Sheriff John Anderson said.
The men were being held in custody on
various charges including attempted murder
and armed robbery, Stuart said. Its unclear
how they escaped, but they were gone for
about an hour before they were discovered
missing, she added.
We dont know how they got away. All
we know is that they took off on foot,
Stuart said.
The jail is operated by the Madera County
Department of Corrections, Stuart said.
The Madera County Sheriffs Major
Crimes Unit and Madera Special
Investigations Unit made the capture, she
said.
Gov. Brown signs
clean-air vehicle legislation
Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law several
bills designed to boost use of clean-air
vehicles in California.
One bill signed Sunday allows 15,000
additional electric and partial zero-emis-
sions vehicles, or 70,000 total vehicles, to
get green stickers that allow driving in car-
pool lanes even when solo.
Another requires freeway high-occupancy
toll lane operators to allow clean air vehi-
cles to drive for free or reduced rates. Such
roads exist in Orange and Riverside coun-
ties, and the San Francisco area.
Another bill requires a property owner,
rather than the person leasing it, to install
an electric vehicle charging station and its
infrastructure in most cases.
California makes up 40 percent of the
nations electric vehicle sales and the gov-
ernors press ofce says it surpassed more
than 100,000 sold earlier this month.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Aman was arrested for exposing himself
to teenage girls on at least two occasions
and is suspected of third incident, after he
showed up to the San Mateo police station
on an unrelated matter.
Belsasar Quiran, a 32-year-old San
Mateo resident, was arrested Friday after 8
p.m. on four counts of annoying and
molesting a child, Sgt. Rick Decker said.
The first incident occurred Thursday,
Sept. 11 around 8 a.m. when Quiran began
following a 15-year-old girl while driving
in his Mitsubishi Lancer on Delaware
Street, according to police. Quiran mas-
turbated while making eye contact with
the girl who was walking just north of San
Mateo High School, according to police.
On Friday, Sept. 19 around 7:30 a.m.,
Quiran was parked in the Woodlake
Shopping Center a block north of the
school and was seen masturbating in his
vehicle by a group of
teenage girls, according
to police.
Later that evening,
Quiran was at the police
station on an unrelated
civil matter when an on-
duty officer recognized
Quiran and his vehicle
as matching the
description of the lewd
suspect, Decker said.
Police quickly contacted the victims
who came to the station and were able to
positively identify Quiran, Decker said.
Athird incident was also reported Friday
and police are investigating whether
Quiran is involved as well, Decker said.
Even though on the surface, he wasnt
touching people it can be a gateway crime
to other things, Decker said. So it was
import to get him off the streets soon as
possible.

WHERE THE READY GET READY
Every Battery For Every Need
By Terry Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Nearly three-dozen
structures were destroyed in a massive
Northern California wildre that continues
to spread more than a week after it started,
ofcials said Sunday.
According to preliminary gures, 10 resi-
dences and 22 outbuildings were lost in the
King Fire as the structures were discovered
in the White Meadows area of Pollock
Pines, said Capt. Tom Piranio, a state re
spokesman.
Assessment teams were headed back in the
rugged, steep terrain to survey more dam-
age, he said.
It has been very challenging to get
access to those burn areas because theres a
lot of inaccessible terrain, Piranio said.
We had to make sure it was safe enough to
enter.
Smoky conditions from the fire also
forced a last-minute cancellation of two
popular Ironman events in nearby Lake
Tahoe Sunday morning, Ironman operations
manager Keats McGonigal said. About
3,000 athletes from around the world were
expected to participate, but couldnt due to
poor air quality as the re spread to the
Tahoe National Forest northwest of Lake
Tahoe over the weekend.
The fast-moving blaze located about 60
miles east of Sacramento that started Sept.
13 grew to more than 128 square miles
Saturday despite periods of rain overnight.
Aman charged with starting the re, Wayne
Allen Huntsman, 37, pleaded not guilty to
arson Friday and remains in the El Dorado
County jail on $10 million bail.
More than 21,000 structures remain
threatened as the blaze remains at 10 percent
contained. More than 5,000 reghters
from as far as Florida and Alaska are help-
ing California crews battle the blaze that
has not only consumed grass and brush, but
swaths of extremely dry tall timber.
Timber that could topple as crews try to
construct more contingency and control
lines while attacking the blaze from multi-
ple spots, state re Battalion Chief Scott
McLean said Sunday.
We need to get in there and make sure that
all of our hot spots and those hazardous
trees are taken care of and dont across our
lines, McLean said. We cannot become
complacent. We have to continue to work as
hard as possible to get this under control.
About 100 evacuees have been allowed to
return home, but some 2,700 remain under
evacuation orders, state fire spokesman
Daniel Berlant said. The re also continues
to threaten a key University of California,
Berkeley research station that is home to
scores of experiments on trees, plants and
other wildlife.

EAST PORTERVILLE Hundreds of
domestic wells in Californias drought-
parched Central Valley farming region have
run dry, leaving many residents to rely on
donated bottles of drinking water to get by.
Girl Scouts have set up collection points
while local charities are searching for
money to install tanks next to homes.
Ofcials truck in water for families in great-
est need and put a large tank in front of the
local rehouse for residents to ll up with
water for bathing and ushing toilets.
About 290 families in East Porterville
a poor, largely Hispanic town of about
7,000 residents nestled against the Sierra
Nevada foothills have said their shallow
wells are depleted. Ofcials say the rest of
Tulare County has many more empty wells,
but nobody has a precise count.
Other Central Valley counties also report
pockets of homes with wells gone dry and
no alternative water service.
When you have water running in your
house, everything is OK, said East
Porterville resident Yolanda Serrato. Once
you dont have water, oh my goodness.
With California locked in its third year of
drought and groundwater levels dropping,
residents and farmers have been forced to
drill deeper and deeper to find water.
Lawmakers in Sacramento passed legisla-
tion to regulate groundwater pumping,
which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law
this past week.
Three days later, Brown signed an execu-
tive order that provides money to buy drink-
ing water for residents statewide whose
wells have dried up, while also directing key
state ofcials to work with counties and
local agencies to find solutions for the
shortages.
The State Water Resources Control Board
had already allotted $500,000 to buy bot-
tled water for East Porterville residents, said
Bruce Burton of the boards Drinking Water
Program.
But many East Porterville residents, like
Serrato, say all they want is to get a glass of
water from the kitchen sink. Her well dried
up nearly two months ago, she said, making
life challenging for her husband and three
children.
To bathe, they each have to ll a bucket
from a 300-gallon tank in the front yard,
carry it inside and pour water over their
heads with a cup. Theyve lived in their
home for 21 years, she said. Its not that
easy to say, Lets go someplace else.
East Porterville sits along the Tule River,
which starts high in the mountains and runs
through the unincorporated town.
Typically, river water permeates the sandy
soil under the community, lling up wells as
shallow as 30 feet deep. Not this year.
Drought has caused the river to run dry,
along with the wells.
Tulare County spokeswoman Denise
England said East Porterville needs to get
connected to the nearest water main in
neighboring Porterville. That could cost
more than $20 million and take up to ve
years, if the project didnt hit political
snags, she said.
England said counting the number of dry
wells is difcult because people dont come
forward fearing their children will be taken
away if their home lacks a safe water source,
or they believe that their home would be
condemned, making them homeless.
Ofcials have had to combat these rumors,
she said, adding, Were blindly feeling our
way through this.
In the meantime, charities have stepped
up. Local schools, businesses and a reli-
gious group in Cincinnati, Ohio, donated
water to the community.
Elva Beltrans Porterville Area
Coordinating Council has provided 46
homes with 300-gallon tanks, which are
lled each week. The group has pallets of
donated bottled water and stacks of blue
buckets waiting to be distributed.

NEW YORK Tens of thou-
sands of activists walked through
Manhattan on Sunday, warning
that climate change is destroying
the Earth - in stride with demon-
strators around the world who
urged policymakers to take quick
action.
Starting along Central Park
West, most came on foot, others
with bicycles and walkers, and
some even in wheelchairs. Many
wore costumes and marched to
drumbeats. One woman played the
accordion.
But their message was not enter-
taining:
Were going to lose our planet
in the next generation if things
continue this way, said Bert
Garskof, 81, as a family member
pushed his wheelchair through
Times Square.
He had rst heard about global
warming in 1967, when no one
was paying much attention, said
Garskof, a native New Yorker and
professor of psychology at
Connecticuts Quinnipiac
University.
Organizers said more than
100,000 marched in New York,
including actors Mark Ruffalo and
Evangeline Lilly. They were
joined in midtown Manhattan by
United Nations Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon, former Vice
President Al Gore and New York
City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
On Tuesday, more than 120
world leaders will convene for the
United Nations Climate Summit
aimed at galvanizing political
will for a new global climate
treaty by the end of 2015.
My sense is the energy you see
on the streets, the numbers that
have amassed here and in other
cities around the world, show that
something bigger is going on,
and this U.N. summit will be one
of the ones where we look back
and say it was a difference maker,
de Blasio said.
Ban agreed.
Climate change is a dening
issue of our time and there is no
time to lose, he said. There is no
Plan B because we do not have
planet B. We have to work and gal-
vanize our action.
The New York march was one of
a series of events held around the
world to raise awareness about cli-
mate change.
In London, organizers said
40,000 marchers participated,
while a small gathering in Cairo
featured a huge art piece represent-
ing wind and solar energy.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. There
has only been one prosecution
under the Emmett Till Act, even
though the law was passed with
the promise of $135 million for
police work and an army of fed-
eral agents to investigate
unsolved killings from the civil
rights era. Some deaths aren't
even under review because of a
quirk in the law.
Still, proponents are laying the
groundwork to extend and expand
the act in hopes it's not too late
for some families to get justice.
In nearly six years since the
signing of the law, named for a
black Chicago teenager killed
after irting with a white woman
in Mississippi in 1955, only one
person has been prosecuted: Afor-
mer Alabama trooper who pleaded
guilty in 2010 to killing a black
protester in 1965.
The government has closed the
books on all but 20 of the 126
deaths it investigated under the
law, finding many were too old
to prosecute because suspects
and witnesses had died and mem-
ories had faded. And Congress
hasn't appropriated millions of
dollars in grant money that was
meant to help states fund their
own investigations.
Perhaps most frustrating, an
unknown number of slayings
haven't even gotten a look
because the law doesn't cover any
killings after 1969. That saddens
people like Gloria Green-McCray,
whose brother James Earl Green
was shot to death on May 14,
1970 by police during a student
demonstration at Jackson State
University in Jackson,
Mississippi.
The family never learned the
name of the shooter, and no one
was ever prosecuted.
"We've never really got any clo-
sure because of the investigation
not being thorough and every-
thing just being kicked out," said
Green-McCray. "It was like, `Just
another black person dead. I mean,
so what?'"
In a January report to Congress,
the Justice Department said prose-
cutors are still continuing their
work.
Hoping to spur more action, the
NAACP and the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference
have passed resolutions asking
the federal government for more
thorough reviews and to spend the
money that was authorized in
2007.
SCLC President Charles Steele
Jr. called the Till Act a major dis-
appointment and said it may be
time for marches.
"We can never let people think
they can get away with these types
of horric crimes," he said.
The law expires in 2017 unless
Congress extends it. The
NAACP's vice president for advo-
cacy, Hilary Shelton, said sup-
porters have had "informal discus-
sions" about expanding the law,
partly to allow for the review of
deaths that happened after 1969.
Passed with bipartisan support
and signed by then-President
George W. Bush in October 2008,
the Till Act gave new hope to fam-
ilies that lost loved ones during
the civil rights era, when
Southern authorities and juries
often looked the other way when a
black person was killed.

KUCUK KENDIRCILER, Turkey The 19-
year-old Kurdish militant, who has been
ghting the Islamic State group in Syria,
brought his family across the border into
Turkey to safety Sunday. But in the tranquili-
ty of a Turkish tea garden just miles from the
frontier, Dalil Boras vowed to head back after
nightfall to continue the ght.
Pulling a wad of Syrian bills from his
pocket, the young ghter - who has already
lost a 17-year-old brother to the Islamic mil-
itants brutal advance - said that if the
Turkish border guards tried to stop him,
money would persuade them.
Boras and his relatives are among some
100,000 Syrians, mostly Kurds, who have
ooded into Turkey since Thursday, escaping
an Islamic State offensive that has pushed
the conict nearly within eyeshot of the
Turkish border.
The al-Qaida breakaway group, which has
established an Islamic state, or caliphate,
ruled by its harsh version of Islamic law in
territory it captured straddling the Syria-Iraq
border, has in recent days advanced into
Kurdish regions of Syria that border Turkey,
where eeing refugees on Sunday reported
atrocities that included stonings, beheadings
and the torching of homes.
On Sunday, heavy clashes broke out
between the Islamic State militants and
Kurdish ghters only miles from the Syrian
border town of Kobani, where the Islamic
State group was bombarding villagers with
tanks, artillery and multiple rocket launch-
ers, said Nasser Haj Mansour, a defense of-
cial in Syrias Kurdish region.
They are even targeting civilians who are
eeing, Haj Mansour told The Associated
Press.
At a border crossing where Turkish author-
ities were processing the refugees, Osman
Abbas said he and 20 relatives were eeing a
village near Kobani when Islamic State
ghters shot one of his sons. The 35-year-
old had tried to return to their home to recov-
er valuables while the rest of the family ed.
They took our village, they took our
house, they killed my son, Abbas said. I
saw it with my own eyes.
As refugees ooded in, Turkey closed the
border crossing at Kucuk Kendirciler to
Turkish Kurds in a move aimed at preventing
them from joining the ght in Syria. Aday
earlier, hundreds of Kurdish fighters had
poured into Syria through the small Turkish
village, according to the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Clashes broke out as Kurds trying to
approach the crossing from inside Turkey
scufed with security forces, who responded
with tear gas, paint pellets and water can-
nons. The state-run Anadolu Agency said the
Kurdish protesters had hurled stones at the
security forces.
Two people were seriously injured in the
clashes, including one Kurdish legislator
who was hospitalized, the pro-Kurdish
Democratic Regions Party said, adding that
the Kurds were protesting the Islamic State
groups attacks as well as the border closure.
The sound of gunre could be heard from
the Syrian side of the frontier, where
refugees were piling up after authorities shut
the crossing. It wasnt immediately clear
whether they were unable to cross or simply
waiting to see what would happen.
Despite the huge number of new refugees,
Turkish authorities said they were ready to
deal with the inux. The conict has pushed
more than a million Syrians over the border
in the past 3 1/2 years.
We have been prepared for this, said
Dogan Eskinat, a spokesman for Turkeys
disaster management agency. We are also
prepared for worse.

KABUL, Afghanistan Ending months
of vote-related tension, Afghanistan's elec-
tion commission named a new president
Sunday only hours after the leading candi-
dates signed a power-sharing deal that
names one of them as the country's new
chief executive.
The commission named Ashraf Ghani
Ahmadzai as the winner and next president
and noted that his one-time rival, Abdullah
Abdullah, will ll the newly created posi-
tion of chief executive, a post akin to prime
minister. But it pointedly did not release
nal vote totals amid concerns that doing so
could iname tensions.
The deal brings to a close an election sea-
son that began in April, when millions of
Afghans first went to the polls despite
threats from Taliban militants, and ended
when the two leading candidates signed a
national unity government agreement and
embraced in a hug. In between, the Abdullah
camp alleged that its cause was cheated by
massive vote fraud.
Anation long tired of election bluffs and
threats seemed to accept the electoral deal
with a shrug. There were no mass celebra-
tions in the streets of Kabul, and Afghan
journalists reacted angrily when the elec-
tion commission declined to release nal
results, abruptly ending a brief news confer-
ence without taking questions.
The United States applauded the deal and
the White House said that "respect for the
democratic process" is the only viable path
forward for Afghanistan. But to many here,
the next Afghan government appeared to be
more a product of negotiation than vote tal-
lies, especially given the fact a nal count
wasn't even released.
"I don't think anyone will vote again,"
said Masie Hajizada, a 26-year-old business-
man. "They will have to do a lot of cam-
paigning to get us to vote."
U.S. ofcials said they believed Ghani
Ahmadzai would sign a security agreement
soon after taking his oath of ofce that
would allow some 10,000 American forces
to remain in Afghanistan next year. After 13
years of war following the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks, all combat troops are to withdraw
by the end of 2014.

Caltrain bikes on board
Editor,
I was turned away from the south-
bound bullet train out of San Francisco
(6:14) every day in one week. Bike
capacity has been at a maximum the
past couple of months making trans-
portation to and from work (Mountain
View to San Francisco) extremely
unreliable. I am voicing my concern
and advocating to expand bicycle stor-
age capacity for this growing sector of
commuters. I hope my voice can
count. I appreciate this service that
Caltrain offers and hope to see it
expand to become more reliable.

Boots on the ground
Editor,
Why are we even discussing boots
on the ground to ght the Islamic
State when the most threatened Islamic
countries, like Turkey, Iran and espe-
cially Saudi Arabia, are reluctant to
ght to protect their own interest?
Havent we learned anything from
more than a decades experience of war
in Iraq?
Has everyone forgotten the trillions
of dollars of taxpayer money that has
been poured into the Iraq war, not to
mention the thousands our dead and
maimed young men and women now
languishing in veterans hospitals.
Why not ask George W. Bush if we
should go back to Iraq? Why not ask
former vice president Dick Cheney
about the prots his Halliburton gob-
bled up from the several billion-dollar
no-bid contracts in Iraq?
Was it Cheney or Rumsfeld who qui-
etly hired Blackwater USA, the power-
ful private army to operate in interna-
tional war zones and on American
soil? This armys lowliest foot soldier
was paid about $100,000 a year.
Twenty-ve-thousand men of this mer-
cenary army were unleashed in Iraq
where its soldiers committed several
atrocities and war crimes. These hired
guns, with their black uniforms and
automatic weapons, also appeared on
the streets of New Orleans following
Hurricane Katrina. They operated at

of legal constraints.
The media had exposed the mountain
of lies that led us to invade Iraq. But
now, why are the pundits reluctant to
point out that our experience in Iraq,
Afghanistan and also Vietnam should
demonstrate that fanatical ideologies
cannot be defeated militarily?
When will we ever learn?

Burlingames City Hall
Editor,
I was reading your article about
Burlingames need to re-do City Hall
(Ofcials discuss moving City Hall
in the Sept. 18 edition of the Daily
Journal). The article also noted other
priority projects, one being the com-
munity center. Why not combine these
into one?
Burlingames Recreation Center is
conveniently located close to down-
town without taking away prime shop-
ping space. Why not relocate City
Hall within a new build-out of the
Recreation Center?
As noted, City Hall is a valuable
piece of land. Proceeds from a sale of
that lot will help fund the new building.

Editor,
If only President Obama hadnt with-
drawn from Iraq, George W. Bush had-
nt attacked Afghanistan and Iraq in
the rst place, George W. Bush hadnt
been re-elected in 2004, the Supreme
Court hadnt selected George W. Bush
in 2000, the Bush administration had
been awake and prevented predictable
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, we hadnt
sided with Sadam Hussein in the Iran-
Iraq conict of the 80s, we hadnt sup-
ported the Afghanistani Taliban
against the Soviets during the 79 con-
ict, if only McCain or Romney had
been elected instead of Obama oh,
my goodness, a thought too scary to
contemplate.
Oh, well.
Perhaps we should think ahead more
and consider the consequences, instead
of looking back in regret.
If only we could learn from history.

T
he Ebola virus is one of the
least understood but most
deadly viruses on the African
continent, spreading rapidly if not
checked in its early stages. The cur-
rent outbreak threatens to become a
continental pandemic.
Initially, health ofcials thought
the outbreak was contained along the
Liberia-Guinea border, but with peo-
ple traveling to escape it or to con-
duct business, the virus has spread to
other regions. Now, African nations
are asking for greater assistance from
the West.
The United States and United
Kingdom are ramping up assistance in
the form of medical equipment and
military aid, including setting up
clinics.
The Obama administration is
preparing to assign 3,000 U.S. mili-
tary personnel to the aficted region
to supply medical and logistical sup-
port to overwhelmed local health care
systems and to boost the number of
beds needed to isolate and treat vic-
tims of the epidemic.
The virus exact origins remain a
mystery, but scientists believe Ebola
is transmitted from certain animals,
including bats. It is spread among
humans by contact with bodily uids,
either through broken skin of mucus
membranes.
The symptoms are horrifying:
fever, vomiting and massive internal
bleeding.
As is often the case in remote areas,
Doctors Without Borders has been on
the front line trying to contain the
outbreak, but the humanitarian aid
group has been overwhelmed.
The France-based organization
thought the outbreak had been con-
tained early, but the movement of
people in the region allowed it to
spread. Many African nations have
imposed travel restrictions and quar-
antines in an effort to control it. Part
of the U.S. and British military assis-
tance will be in containing movement
of people.
Studies show more and more people
are migrating globally in search of
better lives, and diseases will travel
with some of them.
Amore coordinated and well-funded
response to easily spread diseases is
becoming mandatory. The risks of
piecemeal responses are too danger-
ous to consider.
The Ebola outbreak has claimed at
least 2,000 lives, and that number is
certain to rise.
This is not the rst time Ebola has
appeared in Africa, and much has been
learned about how to contain and treat
it. But those lessons are of limited use
if the response is not swifter and bet-
ter coordinated.
Containing the Ebola outbreak
Women: Beware
the star athlete
I
went to the same high school as Ray Rice. We
were, of course, years apart and I never knew who
he was until I started receiving a flurry of emails
before last years Super Bowl. They were from my New
Rochelle High School classmates who periodically
send emails about reunions and pleasant memories of
the New York suburban town (which has seen better
days) and the outstanding high school we were privi-
leged to attend. As you all know by now, Ray Rice
was a celebrated running back for the Baltimore
Ravens, the team which defeated the San Francisco
49ers in last years Super Bowl. I admit I rooted for
Rice every time he received the ball in loyalty to my
old high school.
Funny thing is since
the feeding frenzy on
Rice, there have been no
zero emails from
classmates about our
famous, now infamous
alum. He has become the
poster boy for how too
many star athletes treat
their women. Lets start
with O.J. Simpson and
Oscar Pistorius who were
accused of murdering in
one case a wife, in the
other a girlfriend. O.J.
was acquitted and
Pistorius has avoided the
most serious charges.
Then there is Kobe Bryant, still a beloved basketball
star, who was accused but then acquitted of raping a
woman he met in Colorado. Most everyone has forgot-
ten about that.
Add to the list Brent Myers, pitcher for the
Philadelphia Phillies, who was accused of assaulting
his wife on a Boston street he hit her and pulled her
hair. This was in 2006. Like Kobe Bryant, he remains
a star athlete. Seymond Varlamov, goaltender for the
National Hockey Leagues Colorado Avalanche, was
arrested for kicking and then stomping on his girl-
friend. Closer to home, and still in the news, is Ray
McDonald of the 49ers who is accused of messing up
his pregnant fiance.
According to the New York Times, In the NBA
alone, a starting lineup could be made of former first-
round draft picks who since 2012 have faced legal
troubles connected to domestic abuse. Guards Ty
Lawson and Terrence Williams; forwards James
Johnson and Jared Sullinger and center Jordan Hill.
But why go on? You get the point.
***
Why do woman want to get mixed up with these
guys? They are certainly rich celebrities and physical-
ly strong, (but maybe mentally and morally weak?).
Are they attracted to the athletes fame and fortune?
Somehow as a group, they dont seem like nice guys.
Yet most of these women stick to their men even
though they are victims of many beatings. In Ray
Rices case, his girlfriend, Janay Palmer, married him
after the incident where he hit her in the casinos ele-
vator and then dragged her unconscious body out. She
has been sending messages that she still loves him
and complains about the interference from concerned
citizens who are jeopardizing her husbands career.
Domestic violence experts will tell you this is not
unusual behavior for victims who must be gluttons for
punishment. Buyer beware! Those contemplating a
relationship with a hunk of a football, basketball or
baseball star, better check out his behavior off the
field first.
***
The one exception to this is my favorite famous ath-
lete, Roger Federer. I cant imagine him beating up
any woman. His wife and twin daughters watch his
matches and we watch them on television. I have
never seen a scar on them. Of course, tennis is not
quite as brutal as football, etc. although newer rac-
quets enable players to hit balls harder and faster and
it has become more of an endurance sport. Still it is a
more or less civilized game. One of Federers main
weapons is that he retains his cool on and off the
court. And he is very handsome. Anyways, if we were
both free, I think Roger would be fun to spend some
time with.

SYDNEY Finance chiefs from the
20 largest economies said on Sunday
they are close to reaching their goal of
boosting world GDP by more than $2
trillion over the next ve years, and
will focus on infrastructure investment
to help reach the target.
Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey,
who hosted the Group of 20 meeting in
the northern Australian city of Cairns,
said the G-20 nance ministers and
central bankers had agreed to more
than 900 policy initiatives to meet
the goal they set in February during a
gathering in Sydney.
The G-20, which represents about
85 percent of the global economy,
said an analysis of those initiatives
show they should boost the combined
gross domestic product of member
countries by 1.8 percent above levels
expected for the next ve years - just
short of the group's target of 2 per-
cent.
In July, the International Monetary
Fund downgraded its economic fore-
cast, estimating the world economy
would expand 3.4 percent this year,
rather than the 3.7 percent it had pre-
viously predicted, due to weaker
growth in the U.S., Russia and devel-
oping economies.
Last week, the lending organization
amped up pressure on the G-20 to take
action on its global growth commit-
ment, calling for decisive structural
reforms. On Sunday, IMF Managing
Director Christine Lagarde said the G-
20 would need to concentrate on labor
market measures and infrastructure in
order to reach its 2 percent growth
goal by 2018.
"They are almost done, but need to
do a bit more," Lagarde told reporters
after the meeting.
Hockey said the group had agreed to
shift its focus from government-led
growth to private sector-led growth,
particular from additional investment
in infrastructure. In a communique
issued after the meeting, the G-20 out-
lined a Global Infrastructure Initiative,
which would include the development
of a database to help match potential
investors with projects.
The group also warned that while
economic conditions had improved in
some key economies, global growth
remained uneven and below the pace
necessary to generate critically needed
jobs.
Hockey said the group would deliver
"concrete outcomes" by the time the
main G-20 summit is held in
November in the Australian city of
Brisbane.
"We will now redouble efforts and
hold each other to account on meeting
this target as we go forward," he said.
The G-20 represents the world's
major industrialized and developing
countries. Its members are Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada,
China, France, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico,
South Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
South Africa, Turkey, the U.S. and the
European Union.

of $2 trillion in growth

NEW YORK Data breaches at retailers
arent going away but there are ways con-
sumers can protect themselves from future
heists of their payment card information.
Home Depot said Thursday that malicious
software lurking in its check-out terminals
between April and September affected 56 mil-
lion debit and credit cards that customers
swiped at its stores. Target, Michaels and
Neiman Marcus have also been attacked by
hackers in the past year.
More breaches are likely. The Department of
Homeland Security Department warned last
month that more than 1,000 retailers could
have malware in their cash-register computers.
Here are ways to protect yourself:
CONSIDER ANOTHER WAY TO PAY
Try newer ways to pay, such as PayPal or
Apple Pay. Any technology that avoids you
having your credit card in your hand in a
store is safer, says Craig Young, security
researcher for software maker Tripwire.
Those services store your credit card infor-
mation and its not given to the retailer when
you make a payment. Many big retailers,
including Home Depot, accept PayPal at
their stores, but many others dont. Apple
Pay, which was only introduced this month,
has even more limitations: It is available in
just a small number of stores so far and only
people with an iPhone 6 can use it.
Stored-value cards or apps, such as the
ones used at coffee chains Starbucks and
Dunkin Donuts, are also a safer bet, says
Gartner security analyst Avivah Litan. Thats
because they dont expose credit card infor-
mation at the register.
SIGN IT, DONT PIN IT
If youre planning on paying with a debit
card, sign for your purchase instead of typing
in your personal identication number at the
cash register. You can do this by asking the
cashier to process the card as a credit card or
select credit card on the display. Not entering
you PIN into a keypad will help reduce the
chances of a hacker stealing that number
too, Young says. Crooks can do more dam-
age with your PIN, possibly printing a copy
of the card and taking money out of an ATM,
he says. During Targets breach last year, the
discount retailer said hackers gained access
to customers PINs. Home Depot, however,
said there was no indication that PINs were
compromised in the breach at its stores.
BEWARE OF EMAIL SCAMMERS
After big data breaches are exposed, and
get a lot of media attention, scammers come
out of the woodwork looking to steal per-
sonal information. Some emails may men-
tion Home Depot or offer free credit monitor-
ing, but you should never click on the links.
Many are for fake sites that try to steal bank
information or passwords. Avoid these
entirely, Young says. If an email looks cred-
ible, go to Home Depots site directly
instead of clicking on links.
Ways to protect yourself from data breaches

NEWYORK Chinas e-commerce giant
Alibaba began trading its shares Friday on
the New York Stock Exchange. Here are ten
things to know about Alibaba, and why its
initial public offering made history:
THE BIGGEST
Alibaba raised $21.8 billion in its debut,
making it the biggest U.S.-listed IPO in his-
tory after the IPO of credit card processing
company Visa in 2008. If Alibabas invest-
ment banks were to exercise their option to
sell an additional 48 million shares, it could
make Alibabas IPO the biggest in the world,
beating out the $22 billion IPO of
Agricultural Bank of China in 2010.
DONT FORGET YAHOO
It may have been a big day for Alibaba
and its founder Jack Ma, but Yahoos
investors are feeling pretty good after
Alibabas IPO. Yahoo was an early
investor in Alibaba, paying $1 billion
for a stake in the company in 2005.
Yahoo likely made $8.3 billion to $9.5
billion in Alibabas IPO, and will still
own a 16 percent stake in the company
worth $37.7 billion.
ALIBABA ECLIPSES SILICON VALLEY
Alibaba now has a market capitaliza-
tion of roughly $219.8 billion, accord-
ing to FactSet. That makes the company
bigger than some of the U.S. technology
industrys most successful names, such as
Facebook, eBay, and even Amazon.com.
ALL IN ONE
Investors are interested in Alibaba because
the company dominates many businesses in
China that, here in the U.S., are run by indi-
vidual companies. Alibaba owns the web-
sites Tmall and Taobao, which are similar to
Amazon.com and eBay, respectively. The
company also earns money from transaction
fees related to its various businesses through
Alipay, which is like PayPal. Thats just
three of Alibabas many subsidiaries.
BIG PROFITS
Unlike the U.S. e-commerce giant
Amazon, Alibaba has been consistently
protable. The company had $8.5 billion in
sales in its latest scal year ending in March,
with net income of $3.8 billion. The year
prior, Alibaba had $5.4 billion in sales and
$1.4 billion in profits. In comparison,
Amazon sold $74.4 billion in goods in
2013, but made only $274 million in prot s
that year. In 2012, Amazon reported a net
loss of $39 million.
RISKS
If Alibaba does well for investors, it will
be the exception to what has been the trend
for Chinese companies. When Chinese
companies have listed stocks on American
markets, their shares have lost an average 1
percent a year for the next three years, com-
pared with an average 7 percent annual gain
for other U.S. IPOs, according to research
by Jay Ritter, a nance professor at the
University of Florida.
With Alibabas big debut, 5 things to know

GLENDALE, Ariz. The San Francisco
49ers have struggled in the second half this
season.
A week ago against Chicago, it was
turnovers, mainly by quarterback Colin
Kaepernick.
This time, penalties helped do the 49ers
in and, yes, it was ugly.
Dominating early, the 49ers fell apart in
the second half under a wave of penalties
and undisciplined mistakes, leading to a 23-
14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Weve got to do a better job players
and coaches of not getting those penal-
ties, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Against the Bears, San Francisco blew a
13-point lead after Kaepernick threw two of
his three interceptions in the fourth quarter
and lost a fumble.
The 49ers (1-2) led Arizona 14-6 at half-
time after two long scoring drives to open
the game.
Once the second half started, San
Franciscos offense sputtered and its defense
began giving up big chunks of yards
much of it on penalties.
Arizona (3-0) scored on its rst drive of
the second half, moving 85 yards in seven
plays for a 24-yard touchdown pass from
Drew Stanton to John Brown.
The 49ers didnt have any penalties on
that drive, but they had two big ones on the
next one.
The rst was an unnecessary roughness
call on linebacker Dan Skuta for hitting
Stanton in the head while the quarterback
was trying to slide. Next play, linebacker
Patrick Willis was called for roughing the
passer after hitting Stanton a call the
49ers were furious about to move the
Cardinals 15 more yards closer to the end
zone.
Arizona found it three plays later, when
Stanton shook off the hits and Brown
hooked up for another touchdown on a 24-
yard pass over the middle to put the
Cardinals up 20-14.
Hes tough as nails, Arizona coach
Bruce Arians said of Stanton.
San Franciscos offense got into the
penalty act after that.

Mills senior running back Kendric Meleisea-Smith bulls through the San Leandro Valley defense
at the goal line to score a game-winning two-point conversion Saturday.The Vikings edged
the Cougars 42-41 in a game which saw the lead change hands six times.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Awildly entertaining game between Mills
and San Leandro Valley came down to one
crucial decision play it safe or go for all
the marbles?
With the lead changing six times through-
out, Mills scored a touchdown with less than
19 seconds remaining in regulation to close to
within one point of San Leandro. Wherein
Mills head coach Mike Krieger had to decide
between forcing overtime with an extra-point
or going for the win with a two-point conver-
sion attempt.
The Vikings went for the win, and win they
did, as senior running back Kendric Meleisea-
Smith punched in a two-point conversion to
give Mills (3-0) a dramatic 42-41 victory over
San Leandro (1-1) Saturday at Jim Cox Field.
Before the play even started, our coaches
got us together and got us prepared for the two-
point conversion, Meleisea-Smith said.
And we were ready.
AMills win looked improbable after the tide
turned in San Leandros favor midway through
the third quarter. With 5 minutes, 5 seconds
remaining in the quarter, Mills got some
breathing room when quarterback Marquis
Adkins scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to
stake his team to a 21-13 lead.
But San Leandro responded with one of the
wildest minutes of football imaginable, scor-
ing three times in the span of 49 seconds.
Just two plays from scrimmage after Adkins
score, San Leandro quarterback Isaac Newberry
connected on a quick in-route which receiver
Shaden Pias took 70 yards for a score to close
Mills lead to 21-19.
Then San Leandro capitalized on back-to-
back kickoff recoveries to overtake Mills on
the scoreboard.
The Cougars rst kickoff recovery came by
way of a squib kick which bounded deep into
Vikings territory virtually untouched before
San Leandros Brian Robbins pounced on it at
the 12-yard line. Two plays later, running back
Brighton Hart ran a sweep around right end
before turning the corner and jetting for the

The fourth annual Chris Chandler
Invitational Tournament at Menlo School
couldnt have featured a better champi-
onship matchup.
The daylong event, featuring 12 Bay Area
volleyball teams, wrapped up with a battle of
unbeatens as Notre Dame-Belmont (8-0) swept
Menlo-Atherton (9-1) in the Gold Bracket
championship game 19-25, 25-23, 15-12.
Sophomore outside hitter Katie Smoot
brought the Tigers back from an early decit
with 13 match kills. NDB struggled at net
early against Menlo-Athertons formidable
blocking tandem of Leanna Collins and Katie
Wilcox. After navigating away from the mid-
dle, however, NDB was able to exploit the
corners of the court and gain a tempo.
I gave the kids a pep talk and they decid-
ed on their own that they were going to
come out and they just clamped down, NDB
head coach Jennifer Agresti said. They got
their serves in. They just cleaned it up and
came together as a team.
After the teams split the rst two sets, M-
Astormed out to a 4-0 lead in Game 3. But
NDBs back-row defense of Katarina
Warburton and Tammy Byrne buckled down
to help turn the tide. The two combined for
30 digs in the match. Meanwhile, senior
opposite hitter Maggie McDonald blazed
the comeback trail for the Tigers at the
service line.
It was a team effort, but [McDonald] led the
way with her serving, Agresti said.
Throughout the Tigersve wins on the day,
McDonald totaled nine aces. Smoot matched
McDonald for a team-high nine aces and also
totaled 36 kills and six blocks throughout the
tourney. Jessica Beering had nine blocks
through the ve matches, while Byrne tabbed
29 kills and Warburton totaled 57 digs.
The Tigers posted four previous wins on
the day. They swept through pool play with

SAN DIEGO The San Francisco Giants
are reeling, having lost six of eight games, a
streak in which theyve scored only 14 runs.
And yet theyre still inching toward a play-
off berth, thanks to the fact there are two
wild-card spots.
The Giants managed just six hits off Ian
Kennedy and three relievers, losing 8-2 to
the San Diego Padres on Sunday to fall 4 1/2
games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the
NLWest race.
Its definitely not
ideal. But the bottom line
is we need to win some
games, losing pitcher
Ryan Vogelsong said.
Everybody knows what
were playing for and
everybody knows whats
at stake. You prepare the
best you can and go out
and see what happens.
The Giants chances of
winning the division were dealt a serious
blow by the three-game sweep at the hands of
the lowly Padres. The Giants open a three-
game series at Dodger Stadium on Monday
night.San Francisco is still in good shape to
clinch a wild-card berth, although it dropped
into a tie with Pittsburgh in the race for the
top spot. The Giants and Pirates are 4 ? games
ahead of Milwaukee. The Giants magic num-
ber for clinching a wild-card spot is three.
The division is still there until they
clinch, as far as Im concerned, Vogelsong
said. Until their magic number is zero,
theres still a shot. We need to go in there and
play well and have some things go our way.
Yasmani Grandal had three RBIs while Rene
Rivera and Cameron Maybin each drove in
two runs for the Padres, who improved to 9-6
against the Giants this year. The teams will
nish the season with a four-game series in
San Francisco starting Thursday night.
Kennedy (12-13) struck out ve, giving
him a career-high 201 and making him the

DOG DAY AFTERNOON: CSM FOOTBALL ROUGHS UP DEFENDING STATE CHAMPION BUTTE >> PAGE 12

What a difference a year makes especially
in community college football.
Last season, despite having the second best
record in the state, College of San Mateo did
not qualify for the playoffs. The reason? Butte
College captured the NorCal Conference title
en route to a California Community College
Athletic Association championship while
knocking the Bulldogs into second place and
out of the postseason.
This year, with the two playing in different
conferences due to the CCCAA realignment,
and each team experiencing vast roster
turnover since last season after each transferred
a slew of freshmen, the Bulldogs got their
revenge with a 51-6 blowout in nonconference
play Saturday at Orovilles Cowan Stadium.
I was happy from the standpoint of we
came out and followed our process and did
what were supposed to do, CSM head coach
Bret Pollack said. We played hard, we played
physical, limited turnovers and the defense
played very, very well.
CSM (3-0) dominated in overall yards,
outgaining Butte 484-309 while limiting
the Roadrunners (1-2) to 173 rushing yards
on 46 carries. The Bulldogs balanced their
offensive attack despite losing starting
quarterback Jeremy Cannon to injury on the
second series of the game.
Amid a scoreless tie, Cannon was knocked
out on the rst play of CSMs second series
with a knee injury. Pollack classied the injury
as unlikely having long-term repercussions,
but it was serious enough to withhold Cannon
from any further action Saturday. The freshman
will be reevaluated Monday by a physician,
according to Pollack.
The injury opened the door for backup quar-
terback Justin Burgess, however, and the fresh-
man rose to the challenge. Burgess was 11-of-
19 passing for 265 yards the best single-
game total for CSM this season with two
touchdown throws.
He did a great job of running the offense
and managing the game, Pollack said. We
threw the ball pretty well. He did a really
good job without making a turnover and
made some plays.
Burgess emerged on the second play of a
series which saw the Bulldogs
start with their backs against
the wall at their own 8-yard
line. After a 3-yard run by
Cannon which knocked him
from the game, Burgess engi-
neered the remainder of the
10-play, 92-yard drive,
including three big third-down plays.
Facing his rst third-down scenario from the
CSM 12-yard line, Burgess hit Raeshawn Lee
for a 24-yard strike and a rst down. CSM later
faced third-and-long from its own 27-yard line,
but a pass interference penalty on a route to
Lee gave the Bulldogs a rst down at their own
42-yard line. Then on third-and-4 from the
Butte 25-yard line, Burgess hit Kevin Kutchera
for 23 yards and a rst down.
On the ensuing play, sophomore running
back Sammy Fanua rushed into the end zone to
get the Bulldogs on the board.
I think that series was pretty representative
of the whole game, Pollack said. We were
able to get some plays from the passing game
and move the ball and then run it effectively.
CSM extended its lead to 21-0 by halftime
with a 16-yard touchdown strike from
Burgess to Kutchera, followed by a 7-yard
scoring run by Michael Latu.
In the second half, CSM ran its lead to 42-0 on
touchdowns by D.J. Peluso (6-yard run), Elias
Vargas (48-yard reception from Burgess) and
Dewone Young (11-yard run) before Butte got on
the board. Even when the Roadrunners scored on
a 4-yard run by Quinta Thomas, the Bulldogs
used it to cash in on the scoreboard when
Anthony Hines returned a blocked point after try
for an 85-yard defensive two-point conversion.
CSM capped the days scoring less than a
minute later on a quick strike set up by a 50-
yard kickoff return by Fanua. Michael Allen
then ran the ball for carries of 38 and 4 yards,
the latter of which he rushed into the end zone
to push the Bulldogs across the 50-point
threshold for the second consecutive week.
Kutchera continues to be a force as a receiv-
er, surpassing the 100-yard mark for the third
straight week. The sure-handed sophomore
had six catches for 132 yards. He currently
has 372 yards receiving on the season rank-
ing sixth in the state.
[Kutchera] had a good game, Pollack said.
We had a good matchup on their corner that
they were playing on him. [Lee with four
catches for 85 yards] had a good game too.
The issue was we just liked the matchup of
[Kutchera] on the other guy better.
Pollack credited his defense with an out-
standing effort, especially CSMs cornerback
tandem which includes redshirt freshman
standout Mister Marshall-Cotton.
We put a lot of pressure on the corners,
Pollack said. Theyre playing man-to-man,
and when you can do that it allows you to have
more guys playing other areas of the eld.
Weve put them on an island and theyre step-
ping up to the challenge.
CSM sophomore linebacker Mosa Likio
paced the squad with nine tackles. Linebackers
Darius Henton and and Semisi Paea tabbed one
sack apiece.
After two straight weeks on the road, CSM
returns home Saturday to host winless San
Joaquin Delta. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

OAKLAND Oakland needed a big hit in
the 10th inning against Philadelphia.
Fortunately for the Athletics, they had Josh
Donaldson at the plate.
Donaldson hit a two-run homer to lift the As
to an 8-6 victory over the Phillies on Sunday.
Those are the moments I always want to
be in, Donaldson said after his third game-
ending homer of the year, matching, among
others, Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson for
the franchise mark in a season.
Nate Freiman singled with one out against
Miguel Gonzalez (0-1) before Donaldson
hit a towering drive into the left-field
bleachers for his 28th homer.
Hes a tough customer in big at-bats, As
manager Bob Melvin said. He embraces it.
Sean Doolittle (2-4)
pitched two innings for
the victory, striking out
four. It was the closers
longest outing since he
recorded four outs at
Seattle on July 13.
Geovany Soto drove
in three runs for the As ,
who have won two of
three to remain atop the
AL wild-card race.
Marlon Byrd drove in three runs for the
Phillies, who have lost six of eight.
As starter Scott Kazmir was charged with
six runs and 11 hits in 5 1-3 innings. Since
Aug. 3, Kazmir has an ERAof 6.67. It was at
2.37 through July.
A.J. Burnett lasted just 4 1-3 innings for
Philadelphia. He walked six and allowed six
runs and three hits.
Burnett also struck out three, tying him with
Charlie Hough for 43rd on the career strikeout
list with 3,360. Sandy Koufax is next at 2,362.
I didnt get anything done today, man.
Its very frustrating, Burnett said. I didnt
make any pitches from the get-go. Its
embarrassing.
Byrd drove in Philadelphias rst three runs,
one in the rst and two in the second, each
with a double. Freddy Galvis, Carlos Ruiz and
Ben Revere also drove in runs for the Phillies.
Soto recorded his rst three-RBI game since
July 30 of last year, walking with the bases
loaded in the third and doubling home two
runs in the fth. Josh Reddick, Brandon Moss
and Adam Dunn also drove in runs for the As .
Notes: Ooutelder Craig Gentry (concussion)
and catcher John Jaso (concussion) are still not
able to participate in baseball activities.
Hes still having a little bit of a tough time
with it, As manager Bob Melvin said of
Gentry. I think yesterday he went and saw
another doctor. I havent heard anything yet.
Melvin added: With eight games left,
theres always that possibility hell miss
the rest of the season. Same thing, obvi-
ously with Jaso,
Inelder Jed Lowrie left with a left foot
contusion, the result of a hit by pitch in the
rst inning.
Right-hander Jeff Samardzija (4-5, 3.13
ERA) makes his third career start against the
Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. He is
0-2 with a 7.11 ERA against them. OF
Jonny Gomes is a lifetime .318 hitter (7 for
22 with three extra-base hits and six walks)
against Angels starter C.J. Wilson.

130 Shoreline Dr. Suite #130 - Redwood City
fourth Padres pitcher to fan 200 in a season.
He held the Giants to two runs and ve hits in
6 2-3 innings, with one walk.
Kennedy retired the rst 11 Giants before
Buster Posey beat out an ineld single.
We ran into three really good pitchers
who were on top of their game, Giants man-
ager Bruce Bochy said. Youve still got to
nd a way.
Kennedys outing followed strong starts
by Odrisamer Despaigne and Andrew
Cashner.
It was a good series, manager Bud Black
said. I thought we played really sound base-
ball. We pitched really well from Despaigne
to Cash to Ian. We had a leg up there. The key
was the starting pitching.
Vogelsong (8-12) held the Padres hitless
until Seth Smith doubled into the gap in
right-center leading off the fifth. Smith
advanced on Riveras single to left and scored
on Amaristas sacrice y.The Padres piled
on in the sixth with four runs, three
unearned, off three pitchers.
Yangervis Solarte and Will Venable singled
opening the sixth and a throwing error by
third baseman Pablo Sandoval on Jedd
Gyorkos grounder loaded the bases and
chased Vogelsong. Javier Lopez allowed a
sacrice y by Grandal and walked Seth
Smith to again load the bases. George
Kontos came on and allowed Riveras RBI
groundout. Alexi Amarista was intentionally
walked and Maybin hit a two-run single.
Grandal hit a two-run double in the seventh.
Vogelsong allowed four runs, two earned,
in ve innings while striking out ve and
walking one.
Giants rookie Chris Dominguez hit a two-
run homer to left off Kennedy with two outs in
the seventh for his rst career big league hit.
He was called up from Triple-AFresno on Sept.
1. Brandon Crawford was aboard on a single.
Dominguez got his home run ball back,
with a little extra. An 8-year-old girl celebrat-
ing her birthday ended up with it, and her sis-
ter wrote Happy Birthday on it. Thats all
right. Its a good memory, Dominguez said.
All he had to trade for the keepsake was
another ball.
Notes: Bochy said its doubtful that CF
Angel Pagan and INF-OF Michael Morse will
be able to play in the Dodgers series. Pagan
has a bulging disc in his back and will be
examined again on Monday. Bochy said
Morse likely will go to San Francisco to get
an MRI on his strained side muscle.
Right-hander Jake Peavy (6-4, 2.16 ERA)
will make his 11th start with Giants when they
open a three-game series against Dan Haren
(13-11, 4.14) and the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

With the 49ers on Arizonas 12-yard line,
Anquan Boldin was called for unnecessary
roughness for head-butting an Arizona play-
er. Three plays after that, right tackle
Jonathan Martin was called for clipping,
backing San Francisco up to the 34.
Making matters worse for the 49ers,
Arizonas Tommy Kelly was able to get a
hand up and block Phil Dawsons 45-yard
eld-goal attempt.
San Francisco later had a pass interference
penalty to keep an Arizona drive alive and was
agged nine times for 107 yards overall. The
49ers have been outscored 52-3 in the second
half this season, including 17-0 by Arizona.
We have to come out of halftime with our
mind right and stay focused, and not let
penalties bother us, Skuta said. We have
to stay together.
The 49ers had hoped to take advantage of
the Cardinals, who were playing with a
backup quarterback for the second straight
week and could potentially be distracted
after backup running back Jonathan Dwyer
was arrested on a domestic abuse charge ear-
lier in the week.
And San Francisco looked sharp early.
With Kaepernick hurting the Cardinals
with his arm and legs, the 49ers went on a
pair of methodical, 80-yard scoring drives
in the rst half. Kaepernick capped the rst
one with a 2-yard touchdown pass to
Michael Crabtree and Carlos Hyde scored on
a 6-yard run in the second quarter.
San Franciscos defense held Stanton and
the Cardinals pretty much in check during
the rst half, holding Arizona to a pair of
eld goals by Chandler Catanzaro.
Just about everything ip-opped in the
second half.
Arizonas offense started to hum behind
Stanton, who played more condently than
the week before while throwing for 244
yards and two touchdowns on 18-of-33
passing.
The Cardinals defense stiffened after
some halftime adjustments, most of which
centered on containing Kaepernick.
San Franciscos athletic quarterback hurt
Arizona by keeping plays alive with his
legs and rushing for 45 yards on nine car-
ries. Arizona accounted for Kaepernick bet-
ter in the second half, sacking him a couple
of times and holding him to ve yards on
four carries.
Kaepernick also found little throwing
room downeld in the second half, relegated
to shorter to underneath throws to nish
with 245 yards and a touchdown on 29-of-
27 yards passing.
I really cant say one thing, Kaepernick
said of San Franciscos second-half strug-
gles. We just have to execute the way we
should.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The New
England Patriots had trouble getting into
the end zone.
Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork made sure
the Oakland Raiders stayed out of the end
zone in the nal minute.
An interception by the 325-pound
Wilfork near his goal line gave the heavily
favored Patriots the ball with 51 seconds
left, and they ran out the clock to hold off
the Raiders 16-9 on Sunday.
It was a team play, Wilfork said after his
third career interception. I just happened to
catch it.
The ball deected off Logan Ryan after Rob
Ninkovich jarred it loose from intended
receiver Denarius Moore. On the previous
play, Darren McFaddens 6-yard potential
tying run into the end zone was nullied by a
holding penalty against guard Gabe Jackson.
When I turned around and everybody wasnt
coming to celebrate with me, I knew some-
thing wasnt right, McFadden said said.
Jackson didnt think he held. The penalty
gave Oakland rst-and-goal from the 12.
Then Ryan redeemed himself for a pass
interference penalty on the play before
McFaddens run. Just as Raiders coach
Dennis Allen disagreed with the holding
call, the Patriots Bill Belichick questioned
the pass interference.
In spite of a sluggish offense that settled
for three eld goals by Stephen Gostkowski
and just one touchdown pass from Tom
Brady to Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots (2-
1) won their home opener for the 12th time
in 13 seasons.
The Raiders (0-3) lost their 15th straight
game in the Eastern time zone. They were
held to three field goals by Sebastian
Janikowski and nished with no intercep-
tions despite several opportunities.
We are moving in the right direction,
Oakland defensive end LaMarr Woodley
said. When we have an opportunity to
catch the ball we need to catch it.
Brady completed 24 of 37 passes for 234
yards and became the third quarterback with
150 regular-season wins behind Brett Favre
(186) and Peyton Manning, who came into
Sunday with 169. And Brady is 57-5 in his
last 62 home games, including the playoffs,
posting another win despite a mediocre
offensive performance.
The Patriots scored 10 points in the last
4:14 of the second quarter to take a 10-3 lead
but it could have been 14-3. Brady
capped a 15-play, 84-yard drive with a 6-
yard touchdown pass to Gronkowski, who
shook off linebacker Kaluka Maiava and
caught the ball as he went over the middle.
We did just enough to get the victory,
Gronkowski said. Sometimes its frustrat-
ing, but what we did today is not always
going to get the job done.
The Patriots had a chance for another
touchdown when they reached the 2-yard line
with 8 seconds left in the half. But Dan
Connollys snap was low and Brady picked
it up and quickly threw an incompletion,
stopping the clock with 3 seconds remain-
ing. Gostkowski then kicked a 21-yard eld
goal.
We have rst-and-goal on the 1 1/2-yard
line and settle for a eld goal, Brady said.
You just cant do that.
Derek Carr completed 21 of 34 passes for
174 yards for Oakland. But with running
back Maurice Jones-Drew sidelined for the
second straight week with a right hand
injury, the rookie remained winless as a pro.
McFadden started in Jones-Drews spot and
rushed for 59 yards on 18 carries.
The Patriots relied on their running game
early against the NFLs worst rushing defense
and picked up 63 yards on the ground in the
rst half but just 16 the rest of the way.
Sometimes you got to grind them out,
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman said.
An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.
The Raiders planned to leave after the
game for London, where they face the Miami
Dolphins in Wembley Stadium next Sunday
I was looking forward to it being after a
win, Oakland safety Charles Woodson
said. Its a great opportunity to represent
the NFL, but its a business trip.
Janikowskis eld goals were from 49, 37
and 47 yards.
Oakland wide receiver Rod Streater and
safety Tyvon Branch each left the game with
a broken foot.
Edelman had 10 catches for 84 yards,
extending his streak to nine regular-season
games with at least six receptions.

LOUDON, N.H. Raised in Connecticut,
Joey Logano always considered New
Hampshire his home track, the one where he
dreamed of being bathed in confetti in Victory
Lane and ocked by family and friends.
For Logano, the track about 75 miles out-
side of Boston was his version of Daytona.
Winning at New Hampshire could mean a
bit more to him than a boyhood fantasy ful-
lled when the season ends it could be
Loganos launching pad for his first
NASCAR championship.
Logano helped Team
Penske strengthen its grip
as the organization to beat
for the championship,
pulling away on an over-
time restart to win Sunday
at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway and advance to
the second round of the
Chase for the Sprint Cup
Championship.
Make it 2 for 2 for Team Penske in the
Chase.
Were doing what weve got to do to win
this thing right now, Logano said.
Logano and teammate Brad Keselowski,
who won the Chase opener at Chicagoland,
have both advanced to the next round. Four
drivers will be eliminated after every third
race, and a win guarantees a driver an automat-
ic berth into the next round. The rst cutoff
race is next week at Dover International
Speedway.
Team Penske will be playing with house
money at the Monster Mile. Roger Penskes
crew is rolling, winning four of the last ve
races dating to Bristol and snagging the early
lead on the scorecard against Hendrick
Motorsports.
Condence is high through the 22 team
right now, all of Team Penske, Logano said.
All of Team Penske. We feel like weve got
some championships to win, not only on the
Cup side, but Nationwide side. And youve got
IndyCar. Were just trying to catch up to them.
Will Power won the IndyCar Series champi-
onship for Penske last month.
Logano raced to his fourth victory of the
season, leading 73 laps and surviving a
NASCAR season-high 15 cautions that
wrecked results for several Chase drivers.

BEAVER DAM, Wis. Sprint
car driver Scott Semmelmann was
killed in a wreck during practice
for a race Saturday night at Beaver
Dam Raceway.
Beaver Dam Raceway general
manager Carolyn Mueller and
Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw
Sprint Car Series President Steve
Sinclair conrmed the death.
Beaver Dam police later con-
rmed that a 47-year-old driver was
killed, but did not provide a name.
Semmelmanns car made contact
with another car during the second
practice session, flipped three
times and hit the outside concrete
wall. The 47-year-old
Semmelmann, from Brookfield,
was racing for the rst time this
season.
This incident appears to be (a)
tragic accident at this time, the
police statement said.
The race was canceled.
Beaver Dam Raceway is a 0.33-
mile clay oval about 75 minutes
northwest of Milwaukee. Mueller
said it was the rst on-track fatali-
ty at the track since the facility re-
opened in 1993.
Last month, Kevin Ward Jr. was
killed in a sprint car race at a dirt
track in upstate New York when he
left his car and was struck by a car
driven by NASCAR star Tony
Stewart.

RENO, Nev. Ironman races in
Lake Tahoe were canceled on
Sunday due to smoke and
unhealthy air quality from a north-
ern California wildre.
Ironman Lake Tahoe and
Ironman 70.3 Lake Tahoe opera-
tions manager Keats McGonigal
said the mood was somber when
the decision was announced.
McGonigal says it was made for
the safety of 3,000 entrants, as
well as spectators and volunteers.
There were no plans to reschedule.
World Triathlon Corp. says the
cancellation followed recommen-
dations from California and Placer
County health ofcials.
Placer County air pollution of-
cer Tom Christofk says in a state-
ment that sensors in Squaw Valley,
Tahoe City, Kings Beach and

O
ne of the truly fantastic parts of my work is
that I get to play matchmaker every now
and then. This past week, I introduced
neighbors and a friends mom to the new loves of
their lives. My neighbors adopted a poodle mix
puppy who was part of a litter found stray in Daly
City with the mom. For my friends mom, it was a
4-year-old Cocker Spaniel, surrendered to us by his
former family when they had to move and couldnt
find pet-friendly housing. His new owner, a die-hard
San Francisco Giants fan, named him Buster. I
received this text from my friend (her daughter),
which I took as a great sign: He sat on moms feet
while she was using the toilet this morning. Thats
true love and it beats radiant heated floors! In
both situations, they went about the adoption
process in a careful, responsible way. My neighbors
were really excited to adopt a dog this summer, but
waited until after they took their final summer week-
end trip. They didnt want to adopt a dog, and then
have to turn around and leave him with a dog sitter
shortly after the adoption. My friends mom had
been looking for a Cocker for more than a year. We
had a few candidates, but they were more than she
knew she could handle at her age. We had an older,
bonded pair of Cockers, weve had a few pups and
mature dogs with some minor medical issues. All
were adopted, of course, but not the right match for
my friends mom, who kept her excitement and
interest, but waited for the right situation for her
lifestyle and activity level. And, when it came time
for the actual adoption process, she brought her
other daughter, a dog expert, to help her and make
sure our counselor covered all the key points in a
way her mom could understand.

NEW YORK The young-adult
adaptation The Maze Runner raced to
the top of the box-ofce with $32.5
million, giving a budding franchise a
quick start out of the gate.
The 20th Century Fox release easily
outpaced the $13.1 million debut of
Liam Neesons hardboiled private eye
thriller A Walk Among the
Tombstones and the $11.9 million
opening for the ensemble-cast drame-
dy This Is Where I Leave You,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
The strong opening for The Maze
Runner, adapted from James
Dashners science-fiction YA novel,
is a big success for a movie that cost
$34 million to make and was released
in the normally quiet month of
September. Fox aimed to make the
film about a group of teenage boys
mysteriously locked inside a giant
maze the first post-summer event
movie, putting it on IMAX and large-
format screens.
Our little $34 million-budgeted lm
is pretty darn strong, said Chris
Aronson, head of distribution for Fox.
No one had launched a YA title in
September. We took a risk, but it paid
off.
Aronson said attracting young
moviegoers has been the Achilles
heel of Hollywood in recent years.
But the studio has recently found suc-
cess with relatively low-budget YA
releases, like The Fault in Our Stars,
the Shailene Woodley melodrama that
made $125 million earlier this year
despite a budget of just $12 million.
It shows the pitch-perfect strategic
planning of Fox, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for box-office tracker Rentrak.
Teenagers are probably the most
fickle creatures on the planet to figure
out. So marketing to this particular
group is tricky, and there have been a
lot of casualties in this YAwar.
But The Maze Runner, which drew
a 51 percent female audience despite
an almost all-male cast, is now a
promising franchise. Its opening was
further boosted by $37.6 million
internationally. Aronson announced
Sunday that the planned sequel, The
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, will
bow Sept. 18 next year.
Whi l e Neesons box- offi ce
strength has been hard to beat in
recent years, Universals darker,
R-rated A Wal k Among t he
Tombstones came in well below
the track record established by his
Taken series or, from earlier this
year, Non-Stop. Neeson stars as
a justice-seeking former NYPD
detective.
Warner Bros. This Is Where I
Leave You, about a large suburban
family sitting Shiva for the funeral of
their patriarch, boasted an A-list
ensemble cast including Tina Fey,
Jason Bateman and Jane Fonda.
But such adult fare rarely lights up
the box office, even when directed by
a filmmaker with a proven record of
attracting crowds. The film, adapted
from Jonathan Troopers best seller,
was directed by Shawn Levy, who is
best known for broader comedies like
the Night at the Museum franchise.

Commission will hold an annual develop-
ment agreement review on the project
Tuesday night and Hines, the property
owner, is currently awaiting the city to
approve its building permits.
Development of the site has been pro-
posed for more than a decade but has
stalled for a number of reasons, most
recently because of the glut of office space
in the area. Hines bought the site in 2008
and in 2010, the City Council had
approved the environmental review docu-
ments and a development agreement. That
agreement stretched the approval window
in exchange for some future public benefit
so it would not expire and allow for the
office market to return.
Hines now plans to develop the office
building site with possibly some retail
space spread between two four-st ory
buildings, said Mark Clegg, Hines' direc-
tor of media relations and communica-
tions. The new buildings have also been
pre-certified to receive LEED, or
Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design, Gold certification by the U.S.
Green Building Council, Clegg said.
I think this is a key area. There's been
growth and [we] know there is more
growth to come. And we look forward to
being a part of that, Clegg said. We're
always excited about a new project, espe-
cially in this area. This part of San Mateo
I think it's going to be an exciting project
for us and it's going to be a real benefit to
this area and we're looking forward to
beginning construction by the end of the
year.
TeleCenter's Stern said he understands
that growth in San Mateo is a good thing,
but fears he'll struggle to find a new loca-
t i on.
I recognize that the project that is
being proposed is beneficial in the long
run for San Mateo. It's progress and it's
going to bring businesses in one way,
shape or form and the corridor is prime for
it. It's a location that makes sense, Stern
said. From my standpoint, I like to
believe that TeleCenter has a little bit of
an identity in San Mateo. We've been here
for so long. I guess sometimes the most
economic sense can take away a little bit
of the identity from the community and
for me, there's a little bit of sadness in
that.
Stern said although TeleCenter's busi-
ness model hasn't changed much over the
years, they prefer meeting clients in per-
son to simply selling products online,
his company has remained competitive
due to its relationships. Stern said he'll
look for an alternate and affordable loca-
tion, hopefully in San Mateo.
I recognize the fact that I'm not going
to find that perfect space, but the real
problem is the fact that San Mateo is
where I think we need to be. That's where
people know who we are. But there are
challenges when you pay so much for so
little cubic feet here, Stern said. I really
want to be part of San Mateo but most
important for me at this point is just try-
ing to get my employees a paycheck
through the holidays.
Clegg said growing pains can be part of
redevelopment and wishes the Stern fami-
ly the best. As with other projects, Hines
seeks to revitalize the areas and support
the communities in which it invests,
Clegg said.
Hines is coming in and wanting to
bring new lifeblood into the area and
sometimes that does involve some dis-
placement. But in the end, we're hoping,
we want to see a stronger community in
each market that we're in, Clegg said.
This is one we see we can provide a value
to the neighborhood and this community.
By our investment in the long run, we feel
we can bring life back into the communi-
t y.
The San Mateo Planning Commision
will meet to discuss the Hines develop-
ment agreement, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept.
23 at City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., in San
Mateo. For more information about the
Hines project visit www. cityofsanma-

last fall. Brandon, who suffers from multi-
ple allergies, including peanuts and tree
nuts, told his mom, Sharon, about his
idea.
People need to have access and need to
know its life threatening, said Sharon
Wong, who is co-founder of California
Advocates for Food Allergies. It needs to
be taken seriously.
Brandon, now 11 and a sixth-grader at
Borel Middle School, has very severe
allergies to the point where he doesnt
even have to eat the food himself to react.
One time, a friend who had eaten nuts sat
next to him and Brandon had a reaction.
His allergic reactions have included his
eyes puffing up, hives, throwing up and
eczema. Between her two sons, Sharon
Wong is dealing with 32 different aller-
gies. She said she has to make special
accommodations for both of the boys go
to restaurants and even fly on airplanes to
make sure they wont be exposed to nuts.
Residue on clothes is enough to trigger
a reaction, so imagine if he ate something
(hes allergic to) by accident, she said.
About 25 percent of first time allergic
reactions that require epinephrine happen
at school, according to Food Allerg y
Research & Education. Epinephrine, com-
monly known as adrenaline, is the first
line of treatment for anyone who suffers
from an anaphylactic allergic shock as
many as 15 million Americans suffer from
life threatening allergies. It is estimated
that nearly 6 million of these people are
children under the age of 18 one in
every 13 children or two in every class-
room, according to Food Allergy Research
& Education.
With a first time reaction, students
dont have their own prescription,
Sharon Wong said. Every minute
counts.
Hill found that state Sen. Bob Huff, R-
Diamond Bar, had already authored a bill
aiming to stock epi-pens at every school
and decided to co-author that legislation.
Hill said hes glad Brandon Wong brought
the idea to his mother and she ran with it.
The California Teachers Association
opposed the bill, fearing it could put
teachers in a position beyond their train-
ing and that more school nurses should be
hired instead.
Its wonderful to see the bill signed
into law especially based on the opposi-
tion out there. All you have to do is look
at the fact that every class has a kid with
some allergy that could cause death. One
epi-pen at a school is the least we can do
to protect students, Hill said.
What Sharon Wong would really like to
see is more inclusion for her sons.
Have celebrations be food-free for kids
with diabetes and other sensitivities, she
said.
The next phase of advocacy would be to
have stock epi-pens in restaurants, malls,
gyms and other space.
Having it in strategic places, where
you might have an AED, she said. We
need to have more awareness. When peo-
ple are more aware, theyll be more inclu-
sive. People need to understand its an
epidemic and theres no cure. It can hap-
pen at any age.
Sharon Wong said shes heard people
say things like survival of the fittest,
why should we accommodate these peo-
ple? or these people should have their
own epi-pens.
Still, she is glad about the new law.
I think its really cool Jerry went to the
school and we took it another to see a bill
become a law from beginning to end, she
said. I hope when they (her kids) grow
up, they will always feel empowered.

the 30s. There were mom and pop grocery
stores in the neighborhood, but we only
bought from them in an emergency. Their
prices were too high for us and Piggly
Wiggly had lower prices and a better over-
all selection of merchandise. This trip out
for the day allowed him to go to the caf
counter and buy a good fresh cup of coffee
and two doughnuts for a nickel. What a
bargain. He could sit at the counter and
wait for mom who usually took about an
hour to shop. Because the men worked all
week, 10-hour days, most didnt have the
time to socialize so it was also an occa-
sion for dad to get together with other
husbands and "shoot the breeze.
Actually, their sessions were very benefi-
cial to the men because they found out
where a job might be found, who may need
help fixing their car/truck, when he could
find parts for his car or material to fix
things in the house, etc.
All of this conservative living made an
impression on me and I retained much of
their attitude and habits in my life when I
broke away from the Midwest and made
my home in California in the late 1950s.

For example, she said groups are
pushing NFL teams to wear purple in
October for Domestic Violence
Awareness Month and blanketing the
Bay Area with calls to bench McDonald
pending the outcome of his case.
CORA is one of 17 organizations
belonging to the Bay Area Domestic
Violence Shelter Collaboration. In a
written statement on behalf of its mem-
bers, the collaboration said on the 20th
anniversary of the Violence Against
Women Act, the NFLtook an important
rst step in introducing a new domestic
violence policy but is looking forward
to seeing its terms claried and a zero-
tolerance stance implemented.
Meanwhile, it is imperative that the
49er organization and every sports
organization that holds the attention
and awe of millions of fans makes it
clear that domestic violence will not be
tolerated, the collaboration stated.
Following the release of the graphic
footage of Rice knocking his then-
ancee unconscious in a casino elevator
and dragging her body from it, social
media hashtags #whyileft and #whyis-
tayed exploded as victims began speak-
ing up. Some states and organizations
report seeing signicantly large spikes
some more than 80 percent in
calls to domestic violence hotlines in
the days after the second video leaked.
Lukin said a preliminary look at
CORAs hotline volume shows no sta-
tistically relevant change in the number
of calls over the last weeks of the Rice
situation over this time last year. Bay
area-wide there are almost 100,000 calls
a year, she said.
And unlike the Rice case, she said
most dont have video footage to back
up claims.
From what Ive seen, it wasnt until a
video went viral that the public sort of
believed what happened. People dont
believe this stuff happens which is what
makes it difcult to prosecute, Lukin.
Lukin said its hard to say if Janay
Rices support of her husband is a set-
back to encouraging CORAs clients to
come forward but that it could theoreti-
cally send a message, especially when
coupled with his not receiving jail time,
that there is a very good chance of not
seeing justice.
The focus on her may make some
empathize with her situation and perpet-
uate survivors feeling blamed, shamed
and fear they are misunderstood or
trapped, Lukin said.
But while the Rice and McDonald case
itself may not have shown a direct effect
on San Mateo County cases, the
response to abuse has changed with
time. Lukin said she sees a marked dif-
ference in how the public is approach-
ing domestic violence centered around
these players compared to another NFL
player who displayed violence toward
his wife several decades ago O.J.
Simpson.
The difference here is there is much
more dialogue about it and more men are
stepping up publicly in support of a
redenition of masculinity, Lukin said.
I think thats very promising.

seven years and it is projected to add
between 719 and 1,400 students in
the next seven years, according to a
spring study by demographic firm
Lapkoff and Gobale. With this data,
the Enrollment and Facilities Task
Force found that the additional 719
students requires about 30 more class-
rooms, while 1,400 more students
would mean 60 more classrooms. The
staff proposes to plan construction in
phases over several years to allow for
facilities development to adjust to
actual enrollment growth, according
to a staff report.
In addition, the charge of $19.98
per $100,000 assessed property value
would provide more classrooms for
core academics such as science, math,
reading and writing and preparing stu-
dents for high school, college and
21st-century careers, officials said.
This is something we dont take
lightly, Milliken previously said.
Its something we feel compelled to
do.
Meanwhile, Mark Hinkle, president
of the Silicon Valley Taxpayers
Association, wrote the argument
against the measure and believes the
measure is suspect.
In 2010, they had a bond for
repairing aging schools and roofs,
he said. In four years, the roofs dete-
riorated to a point where it needs to
get redone. Come on, get creative.
In 2010, two bond measures were
also approved by district voters,
totaling $60 million for repairs, tech-
nology upgrades and bringing build-
ings up to code.
Hinkle notes there are commercial
firms that coach school districts on
bond measure language and do polling
to see what will sell. The companies
make money coming and going, he
said.
Hinkle suggests the district look
into doing split schedules or have
year-round schooling. He suggests
schools could have one group of stu-
dents attend September to June and
another attend October to July.
There used to be an infinite number
of schools that didnt have a rigid for-
mat, he said. We seem to be in this
very narrow paradigm.
The district has considered these
programmatic changes to accommo-
date growth, but they would ultimate-
ly be educationally harmful, Milliken
said. Aside from year-round school-
ing, the district could increase class
sizes or do a.m./p.m. kindergarten.
We want quality kindergarten to
get great returns on investment, he
said. Were hooked up to a high
school district thats not on a year-
round schedule. Year round is very
hard on facilities and staffing could be
tricky.
He also notes the district is switch-
ing in the next couple of years from a
basic aid district funded by local tax-
payers to a revenue limit district that
receives state funding. If the district
were to increase class sizes, it could
face big financial hits for class size
reduction funding. With Ralston
Middle School already at 1,100 stu-
dents, the district will be changing
Nesbit Elementary School to a K-8
school to accommodate the growth of
344 new middle schoolers in the next
several years, while offering a small-
er middle school setting, Milliken
said.
A district survey showed support
from 65 percent of voters for a bond
of $18 per $100,000 assessed proper-
ty value. The Nov. 4 ballot measure
requires 55 percent voter approval.
Last fall, Measure R, a consolida-
tion of two parcel taxes, received 70
percent voter approval. The cost is
$174 per parcel a year. Measure G, a
$96 a year parcel tax for 10 years,
passed in 2004. It generates about
$1.2 million annually. In 2008, vot-
ers passed Measure U, a seven-year
$78 annual tax that brings in about
$950,000 per year. Measure R is a 10-
year parcel tax starting consolidating
both prior parcel taxes July 1, 2015.
Meanwhile, voter opinion research
conducted in June indicates that com-
munity support for a bond to address
school overcrowding is nearly 70 per-
cent.
In the worst-case scenario, the dis-
trict will implement the programmat-
ic changes and use money it has in a
facilities fund to put up portables,
Milliken said.

and Highways Code (Chapter 29) pursuant to which WRCOG and the owners of property locat-
ed within those cities and counties that have elected to participate in the California HERO Pro-
gram may enter into contractual assessments to finance the installation of distributed generation
renewable energy sources, energy and water efficiency improvements and electric vehicle
charging infrastructure (Authorized Improvements) that are permanently fixed to real property.
The Program Report. In establishing the California HERO Program, the Executive
Committee confirmed a report (the Program Report) pertaining to the California HERO Pro-
gram containing, among other information:
A map showing the boundaries of the territory within which voluntary contractual as-
sessments are proposed to be offered (the Program Area):

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Joyce Ane Shomar
Case Number: 124790
(Corrected Notice)
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Joyce Ane Shomar. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Jerri Anne Berg in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Jerri
Anne Berg be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 23,
2014 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Columbia, SCIn a 2002 issue of Neurosurgical
Focus, a peer-reviewed article was published by a
Dr. Michael D. Martin, MD et al. in which the third
sentence states: The disc itself is active tissue that
contains signincant mcchanisms for sclf-rcpair.
That article was published by a neurosurgeon and
written directly for neurosurgeons.
The Disc Itself Is Active Tissue
So what does that really mean to us? It tells us
that the disc itself does have a God-given ability to
heal and repair if provided the proper mechanisms
for sclf-hcaling. Thcrc is a spccinc mcchanism
inherent in each of the spinal discs called the pump
mcchanism of disc nutrition (scc Iig 1). Whcn this
mechanism is not working properly, the spinal discs
will begin to die causing bulges, herniations, and
eventually spinal stenosis.
The spinal disc is one of the very few tissues in
the body that does not have a direct blood supply
for circulation. The only way that the disc gets the
circulation of water, oxygen and nutrients for self-
rcpair is via this spccinc disc pump mcchanism.
What happcns whcn you dccrcasc circulation in
any type of tissue, whether it be animal tissue, plant
tissue or human tissue? Exactly, it begins to become
weak and begins to degenerate.
Symptoms Are NOT The Problem
Now the symptoms of pain, numbness, and
tingling that most experience with bulging,
herniated or degenerative discs are NOT the
problcm. Thc dcnnition of a symptom: somcthing
that indicatcs thc cxistcncc of somcthing clsc. It is
just like the dashboard of your car telling you that
somcthing is wrong (brakc lights out, cnginc nccds
chcckcd, ovcrhcating, ctc.) Thosc lights that appcar
in your car dash are NOT the problem. You can
remove the lights surgically or put a piece of duct
tape over the lights but the problem will NOT be
nxcd...thc problcm is still prcscnt.
Lets take a look at a plant for example...if the
leaves on a plant begin to turn brown, would you
say that the brown leaves are the plants problem?
Of course not, the leaves turning brown is just a
condition that is telling you that there is something
wrong with the plant. The plant is unhealthy and
needs water and nutrients. You could spray paint the
leaves green but it just covers up the condition. The
underlying problem still exists and will continue
to producc brown lcavcs until you nx thc actual
problem.
In your spine, when the pump mechanism of disc
nutrition fails, the disc will begin to degenerate and
become weak. This weakness in the disc is what
produces the bulging, herniated, and degenerative
discs.
The treatment that is provided at Bay Area Disc
Ccntcrs is rcvolutionary and is spccincally dcsigncd
to artincially rc-crcatc thc pump mcchanism in
the discs which allows the spinal discs to heal
and repair. The best part of the treatment is that it
uses no drugs, no injections, and no surgery. Plus
its painless and many patients fall asleep while
undergoing the treatment.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the discs
to heal and repair varies from person to person and
can only be determined after a detailed neurological
and orthopcdic cvaluation. Wc do NOT acccpt
everyone for treatment and will let you know if we
can accept your case for treatment.
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC at Bay Area Disc
Centers in Campbell, San Mateo and Palo Alto
will do a complimentary spinal disc severity
examination to determine the extent of your disc
damage. This examination will consist of a detailed
neurological evaluation, extensive orthopedic
testing, X-ray / MRI review and a detailed analysis
of thc nndings of your cvaluation. Hc will sit down
with you and go over your condition with you in
complete detail. You will know exactly what is
causing all your pain (or othcr symptoms).
Call onc of our ofnccs bclow to makc an
appointment with Dr. Ferrigno to determine if your
spinal discs can be treated.
