The publics love affair with Martins
Beach and efforts to reopen the contested
property earned another supporter Tuesday
as Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law requiring
the wealthy owner to negotiate open access
or potentially face a piece of his land being
seized by the state.
Just hours before the
deadline Tuesday, Brown
signed state Sen. Jerry
Hills Senate Bill 968 to
force Vinod Khosla and
the State Lands
Commission to iron out
a compromise that will
reinstate access to the
crescent shaped strip of
coast south of Half Moon
Bay. If negotiations fail
by Jan. 1, 2016, the SLC
could use condemnation
to create an access road
to the beach off Highway
1.
Khosla, a venture capi-
talist who co-founded
Sun Microsystems,
bought the remote property for $32.5 mil-
lion in 2008 then closed it to the public
less than two years later.
Hill, D-San Mateo, said hes proud the
Legislature and the governor upheld the
publics long-established rights to enjoy
the coast.
By the governor signing this bill, it
affirms what weve already known and

Students at Compass High School in San Mateo take a Latin class, which the school says matches well with some of the
students math skills.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Compass High School, a Peninsula
school for students with mild to mod-
erate learning differences that launched
in August 2013, will celebrate the
grand opening of a bigger facility in
San Mateo this week.
The private school, founded to pro-
vide a college-preparatory program for
students with learning differences, relo-
cated to a 7,100-square-foot building at
2040 Pioneer Court in San Mateo near
City Hall this past June from Redwood
Shores, but is now commemorating the
move. Compass goal is to help stu-
dents achieve their full academic poten-
tial by developing critical learning
strategies, social competence and self-
advocacy skills. It grew from nine stu-
dents last year to 19 currently. There are
currently ninth-, 10th- and 11th-grade
classes at the school, along with three
full-time teachers.
Students love the communal areas,
said Executive Director Rachel Wylde.
It feels very welcoming and easy to
make friends and socialize.
One student said they enjoyed the
light in the building and that it feels
like learning in a treehouse. Another
said the school feels like a learning
sanctuary.
The space, which formerly func-
tioned as ofces, is in a good location
since it is centrally located for stu-
dents across the Bay Area, she said.
Compass is one of the only high
schools in the Bay Area specically
focused on students with learning dif-
ferences. The goal is to offer a sup-
portive environment to students with
challenges from traditional learning
disabilities to those who have high-
functioning autism, dyslexia and

The sun is starting to shine on Daybreak.
Thanks to a $100,000 matching gift from
San Mateo County, the residential house for
local homeless teens has enough money to
keep its doors open.
The nonprot is also nearing its nancial
goal to keep the house open during the day
and rehire a mental health counselor which
would essentially restore it to operations
before the loss of signicant federal funding
put its future and that of its teen occupants
in jeopardy.
News that county ofcials pledged up to
$100,000 is absolutely incredible, said
Miki Armstrong, director of development
and marketing for StarVista which runs
Daybreak.
Armstrong said the nonprot has raised
$51,000 so far which, doubled to $102,000
with the county money, is enough to keep
Daybreak from closing entirely. If another
$39,000 is raised, Daybreak will restore its
full daytime hours and the counselor which
both landed on the chopping block earlier
this year. If $49,000 is raised, Daybreak nets
the full county award.
By doing so, all the services that were
eliminated by the cut in federal funding,
including mental health counseling, can be
reinstated, and Daybreak can go back to
being a home, rather than a shelter,
Armstrong said.
Daybreak, which resides at an undisclosed
location, houses 10 participants for up to 18
months during which they are required to
attend school, hold a job and learn life skills.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park,
then executive director of Youth and Family
Assistance, and the Junior League of Palo
Alto-Mid-Peninsula founded it in 1990 after
realizing homeless teens couldnt go to adult
shelters and had no alternatives.
The program expanded, serving 20 teens
annually and roughly 500 minors since it
started but, earlier this year, the federal gov-
ernment changed its funding strategy. When
the money disappeared, the house lost about
half its $440,000 budget and had to shut its
doors every day at 8 a.m. including weekends
beginning in July.
On Sept. 7, Daybreak formally launched a
fundraising drive with a goal of donors pur-
chasing $1,000 annual memberships toward
a needed $100,000 for truncated service and
$180,000 for full restoration.
Speaking at the Board of Supervisors
meeting Tuesday morning, County Manager
John Maltbie urged members to approve the
matching grant as part of its mid-year budget
adjustments using Measure A sales tax rev-
enue.
I think its a good investment of money,
Maltbie said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The former high school football coach
accused of kissing a 15-year-old student and
rubbing her thigh during a ride home pleaded
not guilty Tuesday to three felony counts of
child molestation and trying to dissuade a
witness.
Mark Avery Turner, 41, of South San
Francisco, appeared in court with his
appointed attorney but postponed further
arraignment. Meanwhile, he is free from cus-
tody.
Turner, who served as
the El Camino coach for
several years and was also
recently hired as part of
the campus security team,
was red last Wednesday
following his arrest.
According to prosecu-
tors, Turner gave the girl
a ride home after basket-
ball practice July 1 and,
while parked in front of her home, rubbed her
leg several times. He allegedly asked if she
thought of him as more than just a coach and
kissed her cheek.
Turner made the girl promise not to tell
anyone about the incident but she did share
with several friends and word eventually
made its way to her parents who contacted
police, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said.
In a press release, the South San Francisco
Unied School District said Turners ring
will stand regardless of the cases outcome.
Defense attorney Ross Green could not be
reached for comment.

Beginning Oct. 5, Caltrain will adjust its
scheduling to account for growing ridership
and upcoming construction to replace four
aging bridges in San Mateo and increase
fares up to 50 cents for paper tickets pur-
chased at station machines.
The changes include adding up to two min-
utes to all weekday and weekend trains as
rail trafc through the San Mateo bridges
construction zone will be restricted to 30
mph, according to Caltrain. Some midday
trains will also be shifted up to 10 minutes
to eliminate trains meeting in the construc-
tion zone. Other time changes include addi-
tions to improve on-time performance,
adding a 22nd Street stop to ve trains and
up to one minute at some stations, accord-
ing to Caltrain.
Caltrain will spend about two years,
beginning in this fall, to replace four
bridges at Tilton, Monte Diablo, Santa Inez
and Poplar avenues. The bridges are more
than 100 years old and must be replaced to
meet current local, state and federal seismic
safety standards. The $38 million project
will be paid for through local, state and fed-
eral funds, according to Caltrain.
Fares purchased at stations for one-way
tickets will increase by 25 cents and day
passes by 50 cents, according to Caltrain.
Riders can avoid fare adjustments by using
Clipper cards rather than purchasing at sta-
tion ticket machines. The cost of monthly
passes and eight-ride tickets will remain the
same, according to Caltrain.
Beginning Dec. 21, the youth fare catego-
ry will include 18 year olds; allowing those
traveling to work or school to purchase
monthly passes at half of the regular cost,
according to Caltrain.
For more information about scheduling
changes visit www.caltrain.com/schedules.
For more information about fare adjust-
ments visit www.caltrain.com/fares.

A Redwood City man accused of beating
an acquaintance to death on a city sidewalk
in June is mentally unt to stand trial for
murder, according to two court-appointed
doctors.
The conclusion means Paul Robert Ahern,
53, will be committed to a state mental
facility rather than be prosecuted for the
death of Michael Gonzales, 46, around 8:25
p.m. June 9.
He remains in custody without bail pend-
ing a Nov. 12 placement hearing.
If hospital doctors ever nd Ahern to be
restored to competency,
he will be returned to San
Mateo County to stand
trial for Gonzales mur-
der.
Prosecutors say wit-
nesses reported that
Ahern, known to sher-
iffs deputies as an alco-
holic transient, got the
best of Gonzales as they
fought around 8:15 p.m. June 9 at
Middlefield Road and Fourth Street.
Authorities say the two men knew each
other and were possibly drinking together
prior to the ght but have not said what
they think sparked the altercation between
them.
Ahern reportedly screamed several times
he was going to kill Gonzales while rst
punching him in the head and then slam-
ming his head into a car four times. The
attack allegedly nished with a 10-minute
choke hold and responding deputies found
an unconscious Gonzales face down on the
sidewalk with Ahern 3 feet away. Gonzales
was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gonzales died from injuries inicted in
the attack, according to the Coroners
Ofce.

SANTAANA The Obama administration
is spending $4 million on lawyers for unac-
companied immigrant children in deporta-
tion proceedings, a move an influential
Republican lawmaker says is illegal and
will fuel an increase in illegal immigration.
Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the
Department of Health and Human Services
Administration for Children and Families,
said on Tuesday that it is the rst time the
ofce that oversees programs for unaccom-
panied immigrant children will provide
money for direct legal representation.
The grants to two organizations are part
of a bigger $9 million project that aims to
provide lawyers to 2,600 children. The
move comes after the number of unaccompa-
nied Central American children arriving on
the U.S.-Mexico border more than doubled
this past year, many of them eeing vio-
lence.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman
Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, said the funding
violates federal law and only makes the
problem worse by encouraging more illegal
immigration in the future.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed
legislation that gives California
consumers the ability to make
informed decisions about whether
to buy furniture containing unnec-
essary flame retardant chemicals.
Senat e Bi l l 1019, authored by
state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Franci sco, requires
disclosure of the use or absence of flame retardant
chemicals on existing furniture labels.
The bill is supported by furniture manufacturers and a
broad coalition of consumer, health, environmental

Fresh and sustainable food and the
movement to change state policy to
favor it will be the topic of a free pro-
gram in Burlingame Wednesday.
This program, which is open to the
public, is presented by the Citizens
Environmental Council Burlingame,
a nonprot group that seeks to provide
Burlingame residents with tools to live
more sustainably. Michael Dimock,
president of Roots of Change, a non-
prot working to assure healthy, eco-
logical and affordable food in
California, will share his perspective
on how every person has a stake in the
next phase of the food revolution.
Globally, he said agriculture con-
tributes approximately 20 percent of
the greenhouse emissions, so to the
extent that agriculture contributes or
mitigates global warming and climate
chaos, people are impacted. The big
systems that underlay civilization are
energy, water and food, which are all
connected, he said, so it is imperative
that citizens of the state and nation tell
our policy makers that they must act.
Simply put, the health and resilience
of the American people and all commu-
nities are directly dependent on our
farming systems, said Dimock, who is
the former chairman of Slow Food USA
and the strategic adviser to the
California Food Policy Council. To
the extent that farmers depend on or
eliminate use of toxic chemicals, we are
impacted. To the extent that agriculture
products are grown for use in concen-
trated animal feeding operations that
pollute water, air and depend on the use
of sub-therapeutic antibiotics, we are
impacted. The basis of human health is
the food we eat. So if the farms and food
are healthy, the better chance we have
for people and communities to be
healthy.
Dimock said hes always had an inter-
est in policy and politics, but his deep
interest in food and agriculture began in
the mid-1990s when he was working
with rural communities on regional
marketing identities and farming com-
panies developing sustainability pro-
tocols and marketing systems. It was
fully apparent to him that food and agri-
culture are highly regulated and shaped
by policies at the federal and state
level.
Despite that, I did not work much in
the policy realm until late 2008 after
the big Slow Food Nation event and we
asked [former San Francisco mayor]
Gavin Newsom to work with us on cre-
ating a sustainable food policy for his
city, he said. That spawned now six
years of increasing focus on the need to
reshape the rules that determine how
food and farming systems will operate
and evolve. Now all my focus is on the
policy and politics surrounding food
and farming.
Roots of Change, along with the
California Food Policy Council, are
gaining the focus and attention of those
who legislate, Dimock said.
Over this next two months, there
will be some candidate questionnaires
issued to candidates running for
Assembly, Senate, city, county and
statewide ofces, he said. This will be
even more impactful. Because in the
end, the food movement will not gain
real inuence until it can impact a race,
make winners and losers.
Dimock has a passion for improving
the food system and hes been doing it
for decades, so hes the person to hear
when it comes to learning about sus-
tainability and fresh food, said Peter
Ruddock, who is on the policy commit-
tee of the San Mateo County Food
System Alliance.
For the last 15 years, food has had an
increased awareness, he said. The
national organic law passed, the local
craze, Michael Pollans book. People
are very aware there are problems with
the food system. There has been this
momentum building for doing more
about it.
Everyone can help with the move-
ment, Dimock said.
We need funding from individuals
and businesses that will allow us to
organize and implement grass roots
lobbying, which foundations will not
fund, he said. They can tell their
friends to think about food and agricul-
ture, to become educated on the issues
to vote and communicate with elected
ofcial to let them know it is important
to work on transforming the food and
farming system. Finally, they can vote
with their dollars to build market
demand for those producers of food and
farm products created in ways that sup-
port health and resilience.
Changes need to come and they need
to be demanded, Dimock said.
We need climate smart, health and
water smart food and farming and it is
our duty to demand it be created, he
said.
The city is expressing its excitement
for having Dimock come to
Burlingame.
Our Citizens Environmental Council
decided to offer this program because
more and more people want fresh food
and realize that our current food system
makes it difcult for small farmers to
succeed, said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel.
The program takes place 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 1 in the Lane Room at
the Burlingame Public Library, 480
Primrose Road in Burlingame. For more

California requires extinguishers after limo fire
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill
requiring certain types of limousines to have two re extin-
guishers and undergo regular safety checks.
Brown announced Tuesday that he signed SB611 by
Democratic Sen. Jerry Hill of San Mateo.
The bill was in response to a limousine re that killed a
newlywed bride and four of her girlfriends on the San Mateo-
Hayward Bridge in 2013. Four other friends inside the limo
and the driver survived.
The California Highway Patrol concluded that the re was
caused by a catastrophic failure of the vehicles rear suspen-
sion system, igniting the carpet in the rear passenger com-
partment.
The bill requires modied limousines that seat up to 10 pas-
sengers to be equipped with two re extinguishers and be
inspected by the CHP every 13 months.
Law extends time for childhood sex abuse charges
SACRAMENTO Sex-abuse victims will have more time
to pursue criminal charges against offenders under a bill
signed by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Also Tuesday, the governor vetoed a related bill that would
have extended the amount of time victims have to le civil
lawsuits and seek nancial compensation.
Democratic Sen. Jim Beall of San Jose pushed both bills to
give victims more time to overcome their trauma before
deciding whether to pursue legal action.
SB926 raises the age ceiling from 28 to 40 for childhood
sexual abuse victims to le criminal complaints.
Brown rejected SB924 to give victims the same amount of
time to sue public agencies complicit in the abuse. He said in
a veto message he sees no compelling reason to allow more
time for civil claims against third parties.
Treatment to be mandatory for young sex offenders
SACRAMENTO Adolescents and teenagers convicted of
sexually assaulting an unconscious victim will face mandato-
ry sexual-offender treatment in California.
Gov. Jerry Browns ofce on Tuesday announced he had
signed SB838.
Democratic Sen. Jim Beall of San Jose introduced the leg-
islation after 15-year-old Audrie Pott committed suicide after
a photo of her assault spread online. Three teenagers con-
victed of assaulting the Saratoga High School student
received 30- to 45-day sentences.
Beall says Audries Law closes a loophole allowing less-
er penalties for juveniles if a victim is unconscious or devel-
opmentally disabled. The bill also allows public access to
court hearings in such cases.
Beall removed mandatory two-year sentences from SB838
civil liberties groups and youth advocates raised concerns.
Governor splits on bills aiming to reduce truancy
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has issued a split deci-
sion on a package of bills designed to help reduce
Californias dropout rate.
The governor announced Tuesday that he signed two bills
sought by Attorney General Kamala Harris while vetoing two
others.
He signed AB2141 requiring prosecutors to report back to
school ofcials whenever they are asked to charge parents
whose children miss too much school. He also approved
AB1643, adding law enforcement representatives to local
School Attendance Review Boards.
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO California will
become the first state that allows fam-
ily members to ask a judge to remove
firearms from a relative who appears
to pose a threat, under legislation
Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday he had
signed.
The bill was proposed by several
Democrats and responds to a deadly
rampage in May near the University
of California, Santa Barbara.
Supporters had said such a measure
could have prevented the attacks, win-
ning out over critics who said it would
erode gun rights.
Law enforcement authorities in
Connecticut, Indiana and Texas can
seek a judges order allowing them to
seize guns from people they deem to
be a danger.
The new California law gives law
enforcement the same option and
extends it to family members.
It continues Californias efforts to
lead the nation in preventing firearm
injury and death, said Amanda Wilcox,
an advocate for the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence, whose
daughter was a victim of gun vio-
lence.
The greatest effect might be in pre-
venting suicides or intervening where
there is a history of domestic vio-
lence, she said.
Its hard to know how much it will
be used or how much it will prevent,
Wilcox said. It only takes avoiding
one loss for this to be worth it.
Lawmakers approved the bill by
Democratic Assembly members
Nancy Skinner of Berkeley and Das
Williams of Santa Barbara amid pleas
that they act after the May 23 attack
in which six people were fatally
stabbed or shot and 13 others wound-
ed in the community of Isla Vista.
Relatives of the victims and other
supporters of the bill said the parents
of 22-year-old Elliot Rodger were
thwarted in their attempts to seek
help for their troubled son before the
rampage.
Weeks earlier, his parents had his
therapist contact Santa Barbara
County mental health officials.
Sheriffs deputies talked to Rodger but
never entered his apartment or
checked to see if he owned guns.
They decided he was not a threat to
himself or others and took no further
action.
Rodger later wrote that had deputies
searched his room, they might have
found guns that police said he used to
shoot three people after stabbing to
death three others. Rodger killed him-
self while being pursued by police.
Under the California bill, whoever
seeks the restraining order would have
to sign an affidavit under oath. If they
lie, they could be charged with a mis-
demeanor.
Acourt hearing would be held with-
in 14 days after the restraining order
is granted to give the gun owner a
chance to argue there is no danger.
Republican lawmakers and some
Democrats voted against the measure,
known as AB1014.
In Rodgers case, there is no evi-
dence his parents or anyone treating
him knew he had weapons.
Gov. Jerry Brown signs
California gun restriction
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Despite a series
of political scandals that marred the
California state Senate this year, Gov.
Jerry Brown said Tuesday he had vetoed
key ethics bills seeking to place new
restrictions on gift giving and cam-
paign spending.
The Democratic governor said
politicians should be subject to cam-
paign nance rules, but the general
activities addressed in the bills already
are subject to regulation and disclo-
sure.
The political ethics bills originated
in the state Senate, where lawmakers
have been under a cloud after federal
agents arrested two Democrats in unre-
lated corruption cases. Agents say sup-
porters lavished gifts and dinners on
Sens. Leland Yee of San Francisco and
Ron Calderon of Montebello to curry
favor.
Year after year, the same concerns
are raised about the same political
practices currently permitted by state
law, which these vetoed bills sought to
address, said Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, in a
statement. This was an opportunity
missed.
SB831 by Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, sought to ban elected ofcials
from requesting payments on their
behalf to nonprot organizations run
by family members.
Federal ofcials accuse Calderon of
directing an undercover agent to
donate $25,000 to a nonprot run by
his brother, former lawmaker Tom
Calderon, who also is facing charges.
Hills legislation also would have
placed restrictions on lawmakers try-
ing to spend campaign contributions
on personal perks, such as vacations,
utility payments, and gifts for family
members.
Brown, however, wrote in his veto
message, The additional restrictions
proposed by this bill would add more
complexity to the regulations govern-
ing elected ofcials, without reducing
undue inuence.
During the legislative session, law-
makers pushed Hill to remove more
stringent provisions from his bill,
including capping annual travel
expenses paid by donors at $5,000 and
banning the use of campaign money to
pay legal costs to fight criminal
charges.
Gov. Brown vetoes ethics bills
Its hard to know how much
it will be used or how much it will prevent. ...
It only takes avoiding one loss for this to be worth it.

NATION 8

DALLAS Federal health of-
cials on Tuesday conrmed the rst
case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S.,
a patient who recently traveled from
Liberia to Dallas and a sign of the
far-reaching impact of the out-of-
control epidemic in West Africa.
The unidentied patient was criti-
cally ill and has been in isolation at
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital
since Sunday, ofcials said.
Health authorities have begun
tracking down family and friends
who may have had close contact
with the patient and could be at risk
for becoming ill. But ofcials said
there are no other suspected cases in
Texas.
At the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom
Frieden said the patient left Liberia
on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to
visit family and started feeling ill
four or ve days later. He said it was
not clear how the person became
infected.
Frieden said there was no risk to
anyone on the airplane because the
patient had no symptoms at the
time of the ight.
Ebola symptoms can include
fever, muscle pain, vomiting and
bleeding, and can appear as long as
21 days after exposure to the virus.
The disease is not contagious until
symptoms begin, and it takes
close contact with bodily uids to
spread.
The bottom line here is that I
have no doubt we will control this
importation, or this case of Ebola,
so that it does not spread widely in
this country, Frieden told a news
conference.
It is certainly possible that
someone who had contact with this
individual, a family member or
other individual, could develop
Ebola in the coming weeks, he
added. But there is no doubt in my
mind that we will stop it here.
Frieden updated President Barack
Obama on the patient and the public
health investigation, the White
House said.
Frieden said he believed the case
also marked the rst time this strain
of Ebola has been diagnosed outside
of West Africa.
Four American aid workers who
became infected while volunteering
in West Africa have been own back
to the U.S. for treatment after they
became sick. They were cared for in
special isolation facilities at hospi-
tals in Atlanta and Nebraska. Also, a
U.S. doctor exposed to the virus in
Sierra Leone is under observation in
a similar facility at the National
Institutes of Health.
Government:
First case of
Ebola in U.S.
Health officials on Tuesday
announced the rst case of Ebola
diagnosed in the United States a
man isolated in intensive care at
Texas Health Presbyterian
Hospital in Dallas.
WHEN AND
HOW IT HAPPENED
Health ofcials say they dont
know how the man was infected
but he ew from the West African
country of Liberia, where the out-
break is ongoing, on Sept. 19 and
arrived to visit relatives in the
U.S. a day later. His symptoms
started around last Wednesday, he
sought medical care Friday but was
not admitted to the hospital until
Sunday.
RISK TO FELLOW TRAVELERS
Ebola doesnt spread till some-
one gets sick, and he didnt get
sick for four days after getting off
the plane, so ofcials are not seek-
ing out fellow passengers for
signs of illness, said Dr. Tom
Frieden, director of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
The virus does not spread through
the air only through close con-
tact with bodily uids from a sick
person, he stressed.
RISK TO PEOPLE IN DALLAS
Several family members and
maybe a few community people are
being monitored for possible risk
handful is the right characteri-
zation for how many, Frieden said.
HOW LONG RISK LASTS
People will be watched for fever
or other possible signs for 21 days.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU
THINK YOURE AT RISK
Contact the CDC, Frieden said.
Call (800) CDC-INFO. State and
local health officials in Texas
also are working to trace any pos-
sible contacts.

Concerns about auto classes
Editor;
As the former auto tech teacher at El
Camino High School, I was troubled
by trustee Phil Weises remark that the
closing of the auto program at El
Camino is a non-issue and that the
kids stopped attending the elective.
(Seven seeking seats on South San
Francisco School Board in the Sept.
16 edition of the Daily Journal). This
IS an extremely important issue to a
great number of South San Francisco
residents, El Camino parents and stu-
dents. Students were told by counsel-
ing that auto was not offered this fall
so, of course, they did not sign up. I
still would like an administrator help
me understand how I could have three
full sections of auto in the spring and
no sign-ups in the fall?
Due to board inaction, our auto pro-
gram was cut denying our students
many opportunities including earning
college credit.
This spring, I emailed all the board
members a detailed message outlining
the importance of the program to our
students, its benets and the resound-
ing support of our community in favor
of the program just before a crucial
board meeting. Only one board mem-
ber, Mr. Lucy, bothered to visit my
classes, interview me and my students
to assess our program. The others
obviously neglected to seek the opin-
ion of their constituents and acted on
the recommendation of administrators
who have their own agenda,21st-cen-
tury electives. Apparently, hybrid,
all electric, fully computer controlled
and autonomous vehicles are not 21st-
century enough.
I am hopeful that Mr. Lucy and oth-
ers who seek input from the residents
they represent will be elected to the
board and hopefully reinstate our auto
program.

The government shouldnt
meddle with the housing market
Editor,
There is a lot of press concerning
the high rents and lack of rentals in
the news today. Well, the reason for
the lack of rentals and high rental fees
is because of government rent con-
trols by local and state governments.
Also, when a landlord asks a tenant to
move for whatever reason the landlord
has to pay his former tenant huge
sums of money?
Would anyone I know I didnt
invest their money in a rental proper-
ty if they were going to be denied an
adequate prot from their investment?
The answer to that question is obvious
to any intelligent thinking person.
Add to the above the fact that one
cannot be removed from a rental prop-
erty if they do not pay their rent. To
remove a person from a rental proper-
t y, one has to get an attorney and the
process may take months to complete
and then the legal costs have to be
met.
The costs of federal properties to
the taxpayer are monstrous. So I say
that the government should get out of
the housing market and stay out and
let the free market meet the needs of
people who need a place to live. This
is what I experienced when I left my
parents house and went to work to
pay my way through college.

Letters to the editor
S
an Bruno, and the rest of the
Peninsula, was a far different
place in 1977. It was that year
that San Bruno passed ordinance
1284, which limited building heights
in certain areas to 50 feet or three sto-
ries while also prohibiting multi-
level, or above-ground, parking struc-
tures.
Fast-forward nearly 40 years and
much has changed. While other cities
are taking advantage of renewed
development opportunities to enliven
their downtowns, San Bruno is stuck
with an old set of rules that prohibit
many new opportunities from coming
to the city.
As the city is also enjoying the
recent completion of its new down-
town Caltrain station and grade sepa-
ration project, there is interest in
development that would bring new
customers downtown and provide a
more solid business base for the city
and its current merchants. For many
of these proposals to pencil out, how-
ever, there needs to be changes to
ordinance 1284, and Measure N, on
the November ballot, would do just
that.
While there is much talk about tran-
sit-oriented development as the cure-
all for cities trafc and housing woes,
the proof is in the development itself.
It can be done well, and it can be done
poorly. Measure N would not immedi-
ately give the green light to untram-
meled development in the citys
downtown area, but rather provide an
ability for the city to consider, the
key word here being consider, devel-
opments with above-ground parking
and at heights that would allow for the
property owner and developer to make
them work nancially.
One specic area right next to the
new Caltrain station will be allowed
to have heights of up to 90 feet, but
other areas are more modest with
heights of 70 feet on stretches of El
Camino Real south of Interstate 380
and portions of San Bruno Avenue
west of El Camino, while much of San
Bruno Avenue east of El Camino Real
could have heights of up to 65 feet.
The Central Business District of San
Mateo Avenue would be limited to
heights of 55 feet, just 5 feet higher
than current limits.
There is always concern about the
impact of new development on the
current environment, whether it be
trafc or business owners. All will be
studied thoroughly in any specic
new proposal and, in fact, there will
be an opportunity for the public to
weigh in before an application is
even submitted. San Mateo Avenue
itself has long needed some aesthetic
assistance though it is diverse and
interesting as a neighborhood and
city-serving retail area. If there is
more interest in the area, that can
only increase foot trafc and take care
of some of the vacancies that line the
street. Successful businesses will
have the opportunity to become more
successful. Change can be difcult for
some, but there is also a great oppor-
tunity in this area to provide housing,
jobs and city revenue while also
improving the area for the city and its
future.

O
ur most important job to provide a calm,
secure, loving haven for our children as they
go about the challenging business of grow-
ing up has been utterly compromised. Madeline
Levine, Ph.D., Teach Your Children Well, 2012.
One of my favorite books is one I have cherished since
1991, titled, When the Bough Breaks by Sylvia Ann
Hewlett, who is the mother of four and an economist. The
title of this book came to mind after I heard about Adrian
Peterson of the NFL whipping his 4-year-old son with a
tree branch until he bled from the wounds. Hewlett
wrote: If we take good care of children, they will add to
the productive capacity of the economy. If we fail to look
after our children, they will drag this nation down. In the
words of Lyndon B.
Johnson: Ignorance, ill
health, personality disor-
ders these destructions
often contracted in child-
hood, afictions which
linger and cripple the man
and damage the nation.
I dedicate this column to
all children, but especially
those who are violently
punished. Its very disheart-
ening to read that some
people say that it is just a
private matter that it is a
traditional method of some
cultures to discipline children. If it is, it needs to end as
soon as possible because studies have shown that children
who are severely punished are very likely to turn into vio-
lent teens and adults who become serious problems for
society.
Everything that a person comes to believe, advocate
and deem right is founded on the rst formative experi-
ences. Today we have conclusive evidence that this cost of
survival not only is much too high for the individual but
also turns out to be the greatest threat to all humanity. . . .
And we have statistics showing clear connections
between early neglect and abuse and subsequent adult vio-
lence. Alice Miller, Banished Knowledge, 1988.
Our children must grow up into well-functioning and
happy citizens if we want to reverse our nations decline
and again become a strong, positive inuence in the
world. Laurence Steinburg states it succinctly in Age of
Opportunity, 2014: When a countrys adolescents trail
much of the world on measures of school achievement, but
are among the world leaders in violence, unwanted preg-
nancy, STDs, abortion, binge drinking, marijuana use,
obesity and unhappiness, it is time to admit that some-
thing is wrong with the way the country is raising its
young people. That country is the United States.
We in this nation seem to have forgotten that children
are our most precious national resource. They have
become victims of a society that is so obsessed with the
almighty buck that in many ways they are getting short
shrift. More than ever, too many children have become
mere adjuncts to their parents cluttered lifestyles nec-
essary nuisances that must be dealt with somehow as the
parents go about their daily routines. Or, in some cases,
they are used by parents as status symbols to make the
parents look good. Or worse, they are too often left to
their own devices and not given any guidance at all.
Only a narcissistic culture has so little regard for the
developing self of others that children are left to fend for
themselves or are shuttled back and forth between
divorced parents like contraband. Maxine Schnall,
Limits, 1981.
There are many reasons that a young child may misbe-
have none of them deliberate. Consider such reasons as
a lack of the right kind of attention and concern from care-
takers, a situation that develops that the child cant han-
dle, a lack of sleep, nutrition and other needs not being
met, and/or living with parents (or others) who are bad
examples for children to emulate in order to grow into
healthy, well-adjusted teens and adults. Or, sadly, miscon-
duct can be caused by some inborn mental defect that the
child has absolutely no control over.
So what can be expected for young Petersons future?
First, this child has a father in a violent profession lauded
by fans. Add the brutality that he no doubt sees on TV and
in other media. Third, he is severely punished by his
father. What will his teens be like? Will he be empathetic
have a conscience? As one callous person noted in
excusing Petersons violence, We must toughen up our
boys.
Hewlett wrote hopefully in l991: As we head for the
21st century, we may well be ready to temper our
autonomous, self-absorbed drive with a concern for oth-
ers. Nothing is more worth doing than easing the path and
improving the life chances of vulnerable, blameless chil-
dren. So what have we accomplished in these 23 years?
Have things improved for our children? You tell me!

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK A suddenly stormy
month on the stock market came to a
quiet end on Tuesday. Major indexes
drifted to a slight loss, leaving the
Standard & Poors 500 down 1.6 per-
cent for September, its third monthly
drop this year.
The market spent Tuesday wavering
between minor gains and losses, but
there were big moves beneath the sur-
face. Crude oil prices plunged, drag-
ging down Chevron and other oil and
gas companies. Ford Motor fell after
cutting its prot forecast, while eBay
jumped after announcing plans to spin
off PayPal.
Trading has turned choppy over
recent weeks. Lingering concerns over
conicts around the world, corporate
prots and the strength of the global
economy have all played a role, said
Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist
at Banyan Partners. Investors are also
wary of the fact that some of the mar-
kets worst swoons have happened in
the months of September and October.
People are unsure at this time of the
year, Pavlik said. Were heading into
October. Like September, its another
typically bad month for the market.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
28.32 points, or 0.2 percent, to
17,042.90. The S&P 500 slipped 5.51
points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,972.29.
The Nasdaq composite lost 12.46
points, also 0.3 percent, to 4,493.39.
Despite its bad reputation,
September has actually been mostly
good to investors. Before this year, the
S&P 500 turned in a September loss
just twice over the past decade: during
the nancial crisis in 2008 and again
following a ght over raising the gov-
ernments borrowing limit in 2011.
This month looked to be different.
The S&P 500, the main benchmark for
mutual funds, reached a record high on
Sept. 18, supported by news of
stronger economic growth in the U.S
and reassuring words from Federal
Reserve ofcials about keeping inter-
est rates low. Turbulence hit the follow-
ing week as investors began question-
ing whether the stock market was over-
priced. Some warned that the market
had been calm for too long.
Its like when warm currents and
cold currents converge, you get a lot of
waves and turbulence, said Jack Ablin,
chief investment officer at BMO
Private Bank. Were now at a point
where we have sharply different opin-
ions in the market. Its a tug of war.
EBay jumped 8 percent on Tuesday,
the biggest gain in the S&P 500, fol-
lowing news that it plans to spin off its
PayPal payment service into a publicly
traded company next year. Carl Icahn,
the billionaire investor, had been
pushing eBay to make just such a
move. EBays President and CEO John
Donahoe will step down after oversee-
ing the split. Ebay jumped $3.97 to
$56.63.
Benchmark U.S. crude plunged
$3.41, or 3.6 percent, to settle at
$91.16. More evidence of plentiful
supplies have pushed prices down. Oil
has also been dropping as the value of
the U.S. dollar rises against other cur-
rencies.
Pro-democracy protests continued in
Hong Kong, a major world nancial
hub. Thousands of peopled blocked
streets in the business district and sur-
rounding streets. They want the
Chinese government to allow open
elections for Hong Kongs top ofce,
whereas Beijing wants candidates to be
vetted by a panel dominated by sup-
porters of the mainland government.
Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index tum-
bled 1.3 percent. Tokyos Nikkei 225
was down as much as 1.5 percent before
ending the day with a loss of 0.8 per-
cent. Chinas Shanghai Composite
Index added 0.3 percent.
In Europe, a new batch of economic
reports furthered speculation that the
European Central Bank might provide
more support for the regions econo-
my.
Stocks slip, leaving S&P down for September
By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK PayPals impending split
from longtime partner eBay Inc. will ratchet
up its appeal to online retail competitors
such as Amazon.com and give it the freedom
to aggressively take on new mobile pay chal-
lenger Apple Pay. For eBay, the challenge
will be how to drive revenue without its
fastest-growing division.
The move marks a 180-degree turn for eBay
Inc. CEO John Donahoe, who had been
adamant in spurning activist investor Carl
Icahns call months ago to spin off PayPal.
Donahoe, who will step down after the split
is nalized in the second half of next year,
said he now agrees that its the right path for
both companies. With the launch of Apple
Pay next month expected to reshape the
mobile payments industry, Icahn said hes
happy eBay came around, perhaps a little
later than they should have, but earlier than
we expected.
Investors were happy too, sending eBay
shares up more than 7 percent to close at
$56.63 on Tuesday.
PayPal services $1 of every $6 dollars
spent online. It collects fees from over 150
million users who use the online service to
send money to other users and pay for goods
and services in more than 200 markets.
Acquired by eBay in 2002 for $1.3 billion,
its partnership with the popular site helped
expand PayPals reach worldwide. The service
posted 20 percent revenue growth in the last
quarter to $1.95 billion representing near-
ly half of eBays total revenue.
PayPal also has staked a claim in the small
but swiftly-growing mobile payment arena,
and is on track to process 1 billion mobile
payments this year. It launched PayPal Here
and acquired Braintree and its One Touch
mobile payment service, which compete
with players such as Square and Google
Wallet. The payoff is huge for whichever
player can own the space: mobile payments
could spike to $58.4 billion by 2017 from
just $1 billion last year, Citi Investment
Research analyst Mark May said in August.
And the pressure is on. Apple Inc., which has
800 million user accounts through iTunes,
threw down a gauntlet last month with the
announcement of its own digital wallet Apple
Pay, slated to launch in October.
So what might be PayPals rst solo move?
Courting major eBay competitors such as
Amazon.com Inc. and newly public Alibaba,
who might be more likely to partner with
PayPal now that its not married to a direct
competitor, says Cantor Fitzgerald analyst
Youssef Squali. The company also could be a
takeover target. Squali notes that Google and
Microsoft (not to mention Visa and
Mastercard), have tried to build online pay-
ment platforms with varying degrees of suc-
cess.
And with PayPal now essentially free to
focus on payment innovation, and standing
on the shoulders of a well-capitalized eBay,
they can act more aggressively to counter
new competitors, says R.W. Baird analyst
Colin Sebastian. He notes that PayPal will
end up with a sizable amount of cash and none
of eBays debt.
In a statement, Icahn asserted that PayPal
either needs to buy other digital payment
services or consider selling itself to another
strong player to prepare for an industry
shakeout that he believes will happen soon.
In light of the development of strong com-
petition such as the advent of Apple Pay, the
sooner these consolidations take place, the
better, Icahn said.
Whats PayPals first solo move?
EU says Apple gets
illegal tax benefits in Ireland
BRUSSELS Apple risks having to repay
Ireland tax rebates worth billions of dollars
after the European Unions competition
watchdog said Tuesday the company appears
to be beneting from illegal tax deals there.
In a preliminary report into the companys
overseas tax practices, the 28-nation blocs
executive Commission said the low tax
treatment Ireland is granting Apple counts as
state aid and could be illegal under EU law.
If the nding is conrmed, Apple Inc.
could face a huge repayment bill because it
funnels the bulk of its international sales
through subsidiaries in Ireland.
To keep market competition fair, the EU
forbids governments from helping individ-
ual companies. The EU rst announced the
tax probe in June, also targeting coffee
chain Starbucks and others as part of a crack-
down on multinationals exploiting tax
loopholes.
China approves iPhone 6
after security assurances
BEIJING Chinas phone regulator said
Tuesday it has approved Apple Inc.s iPhone
6 for use on Chinese networks after the com-
pany promised never to install backdoors
to give other governments access to users
information. Apple said sales start Oct. 17.
The Ministry of Industry and Information
Technologys announcement reflected
Chinese unease about the reliability of for-
eign communications technology following
disclosures about widespread U.S. govern-
ment eavesdropping.
China is one of Apples biggest markets
and any disruption to the availability of its
latest smartphone could be a serious com-
mercial setback.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California,
began delivering its new smartphone in the
United States and other markets Sept. 20 but
delayed its rollout in China without explana-
tion.
Viagra ads target
women for first time
TRENTON, N.J. The maker of the
worlds top-selling erectile dysfunction drug
on Tuesday will begin airing the rst Viagra
TV commercial that targets the less-obvious
sufferers of the sexual condition: women.
In the new 60-second ad, a middle-aged
woman reclining on a bed in a tropical set-
ting addresses the problems couples
encounter when a man is impotent.
So guys, its just you and your honey. The
setting is perfect. But then erectile dysfunc-
tion happens again, she says before encour-
aging men to ask their doctor about Viagra.
Plenty of guys have this issue not just
getting an erection, but keeping it.

When the Menlo-Atherton girls tennis
team traveled to Belmont to take on Carlmont
Tuesday, it represented the rst big showdown
in the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay
Division.
Both teams are perennial powers in the Bay
Division and Tuesdays winner would have a
leg up on not only each other but the rest of
the division as well.
M-A, with a 5-2 victory, is now in the dri-
vers seat to reclaim the crown it was denied
last season as the Bears improved their record
to 6-0 in the Bay Division, while Carlmont
fell to 4-1.
But Bears coach Tom Sorenson was careful
not to put too much stock in the win.
Being it was a rst-round match, it was
more of an exploratory match, Sorenson
said. I didnt put it to the girls it was a neces-
sity to win this match. Well play again and
our records will be really similar.
Carlmont coach Amina Doar Halsey also
knew it was a big match, but considering she
didnt have her full squad at her disposal
Tuesday, she also didnt put too much empha-
sis on the showdown.
We came in knowing the top of the league
will be us and M-A, Doar Halsey said. When
it comes to playing them again, well proba-
bly make some adjustments.
With just one player missing No. 3 sin-
gles player Pareesa Darafshi was out with a
back issue Doar Halsey was forced to jug-
gle to rest of her lineup, moving some dou-
bles players into singles spots and shufing
the rest of her lineup.
All the movement had an effect on the
Scots doubles teams, where they lost their
second and third matches of the entire season.
Were built from doubles [up], Doar
Halsey said. For us to win, doubles is pretty
vital.
M-As No. 1 doubles team of Taylor Noble
and Julia Chang held off Carlmonts Morgan
Watson and Zoe Wildman, 7-6, 7-6 (7-4). At
No. 3 doubles, M-As Caroline Kelly and
Sarah Tiemann dispatched Carlmonts Rachel
Chen and Ayesha Abbasi 6-2, 6-2.
Sorenson said those doubles wins were a
big boost for his team.
It was great for [our] doubles players to

The Kansas City Royals celebrate a 9-8, 12-inning win over Oakland in the American League
wild-card game Tuesday.
By Dave Skretta
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City
Royals had waited 29 years to reach the
postseason. They werent going down with-
out a ght .
Salvador Perez singled down the left-eld
line with two outs in the 12th inning,
allowing Christian Colon to score from sec-
ond base and giving the long-suffering
Royals a 9-8 victory over the Oakland
Athletics in a wild AL wild-card game
Tuesday night.
Quite a start to October baseball even if
this one appeared to be over in September
with plenty of time to spare.
The As raced out to a 7-3 lead by the sixth
inning, but the Royals countered with three
runs in the eighth. Nori Aokis sacrice y
off Sean Doolittle in the ninth forced extra
innings.
The teams kept trading blows over the
next couple innings, as midnight came and
went on the East Coast and the tension con-
tinued to build. Brandon Finnegan nally
cracked after tossing two scoreless innings,
but the Royals were there to pick up their
pitching one last time.
Eric Hosmer hit a rocket to the wall in left
eld off Dan Otero for a leadoff triple in the
12th, and Colon hit an ineld chopper that
he beat out for a tying single. That set the
stage for Perez, who lined a pitch from
Jason Hammel just inside the third-base line
to send the Royals pouring out of their
dugout in a mad celebration.
The long-suffering franchise hadnt
played in the postseason since beating St.
Louis in the 1985 World Series, and the
excitement the permeated the city might
best be summed up by a statement posted by
the Kansas City Police on Twitter in about
the 10th inning: "We really need everyone
to not commit crimes and drive safely right
now. Wed like to hear the Royals clinch."
They nally did it in a thrilling start to
baseballs playoffs.
For the Oakland, it was one nal collapse
K.C. KOs Oakland
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Reggie McKenzie believes
he put together a roster capable of competing
for a playoff spot. When that roster got off to
an 0-4 start and wasn't even competitive in
two games, the Oakland Raiders general man-
ager decided he needed to re coach Dennis
Allen.
McKenzie replaced his hand-picked coach
by promoting offensive line coach Tony
Sparano on an interim
basis Tuesday with the
hopes that can spark a
turnaround for a team that
has lost 10 straight games
dating to last season.
Yes, I do believe what
we put together this off-
season was a roster that
could win, McKenzie
said. Im not going to get
into all the particulars of why it didnt work
for Dennis. But the bottom line is it didnt
work. For whatever reason, not only the 0-4
start but our play did not represent what we
were capable of. Thats the bottom line.
Allen was the rst head coach hired by
Oakland after Al Davis death in October
2011. His 8-28 record is the worst for the
franchise since before Davis arrived in 1963.
His contract was set to run through next sea-
son.

Burlingames upset of Aragon Tuesday
afternoon is proof positive of the emer-
gence of the Peninsula Athletic League
girls golf scene this season.
The Lady Panthers scored a 212-215 vic-
tory over the Dons at the par-35 Poplar
Creek Golf Course to make quite a bottle-
neck at the top of the PAL Bay Division
standings. Burlingame (4-2) moves into a
second-place tie with Menlo-Atherton and
San Mateo. Aragon (5-2) remains in rst
place, having played one more match thus
far.
Burlingame No.2 Alicia Avalo medaled
with a match-best 1-over 36. The senior
twice scored birdies, one on the par-3 third
hole and another on the par-4 sixth. Avalo
was followed by her rotation mate, No. 1
Allie Economou, who matched her season-
best by scoring a 37.
Allie and Alicia have been leading us all
year, Burlingame head coach Jeff Dowd
said. But in golf, you need to have ve
players go out and they all did well today.
The surprise performance for Burlingame
was that of No. 6 Jordan Stanley. The junior
shot a season-best 49 to prove one of the
difference makers in the pivotal win.
Stanley has seen part-time duty this season,

On the Mills gymnasium hangs
a handmade sign reading, Do it
for Nabeela.
The sign is a tribute to the
Vikings senior setter Nabeela
Rizvi, who suffered an ACL injury
in the second week of the season.
With Rivzi likely lost for the year,
junior Emily Huang has settled in
at starting setter to help Mills to
an undefeated start in Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division
play.
The Vikings (3-0 in PAL Ocean,
9-4 overall) swept Half Moon Bay
(2-1, 7-9) Tuesday at Mills, 25-18,
25-21, 26-24.
With Nabeela, we were able to
run plays and we havent gotten
there yet to have it consistent,
Mills head coach Polly Wiard said.
But every game shes getting bet-
ter.
The staple of the Mills lineup,
though, is outside hitter Adrienne
Lee. The junior admittedly got off
to a slow start Tuesday, but caught
re in Game 2 with eight of her
match-high 15 kills.
The injury to Rivzi has caused
Mills to minimize its playbook
until the junior Huang can get up
to varsity speed. Huang and Rivzi
had been splitting time prior to
the injury. Since PAL Ocean
Division started last week though,
setting duties have fallen squarely
on the shoulders of Huang.
It was hard for the team because
[Rivzi] is a leader, Lee said. But
our other setter ... has really
stepped up.
Huang gave merit to that com-
pliment with the rst service of
Tuesdays game as she red an ace,
high into Half Moon Bays serve
receive, in the backcourt. The left-
hander went on a four-point serv-
ice run to start the match while
adding her second ace in the
process. Half Moon Bay never
recovered from the slow start,
trailing the entirety of the open-
ing two sets.
The falter at the outset dened
the tone of the game, as it has
been for the team the entire sea-
son, according to Half Moon Bay
head coach Ryan Havice.
If we get a point, were all high
and happy, Havice said. But if
we lose a point, we hang our
heads.
Half Moon Bay gave quite a per-
formance at net, with Ally
Longaker and Mia Cordes tabbing
six blocks apiece. But the Cougars
couldnt muster any momentum.
There were several junctures of the
match when it seemed they might
stage a comeback. In Game 2, the
score was deadlocked three times
including as late as 19-19. But
Half Moon Bay never gained an
advantage. And Lee scored a kill at
middle net to give the Vikings the
lead for good.
The match did not lack for excit-
ing rallies though. Half Moon Bay
saw some of the longest rallies of
its season, according to Havice.
For Mills though, scrapping
together a defensive approach to
prolong rallies is the teams bread-
and-butter.
I think our team is based off
defense, Lee said. Were really
good at getting balls up and were
really scrappy. I think thats what
our team relies on.
In Game 3, Half Moon Bay nal-
ly grabbed its rst lead, but had to
rally from behind to do so. Mills
committed nine hitting errors in
the set to open the door and
Cougars outside hitter Hailey
Merkes stepped up to give her
team the lead. The junior tabbed 10
service points in the set. Mills
held on though and with the game
tied 22-22, Vikings sophomore
Rachel Leung smoked a kill from
middle net to give her team a deci-
sive edge.
I think this team is getting
there, for sure, Wiard said.
Weve been drilling them a lot on
passing and coverage and blocks
on the net.
In other PAL Ocean Division
action, Aragon downed Westmoor
in straight sets, 25-17, 25-5, 25-
11. Randi Taylor paced the Dons
with 17 kills. Anna Joshi added
nine kills and three aces. Mel
Moore had ve blocks.
El Camino defeated Jefferson in
four sets, 25-22, 25-20, 17-25,
25-18. Jefferson had eight kills
apiece from Alanis Togiai and
Christi Boado, while Senara
Faleane added ve kills.
San Mateo defeated Capuchino
25-11, 25-21, 25-17. Kimi Marin
paced the Bearcats with 11 kills
and Val Mihalek tabbed 10 kills.
In PAL Bay Division action,
Menlo-Atherton swept Terra
Nova, 25-16, 25-21, 25-15.
Devin Joos notched 20 kills and
nine digs for the Bears. Kaitlin
Taveraz added 12 digs. Kirby
Knapp had 41 assists.
Carlmont won its sixth straight
overall match with a sweep of
Hillsdale, 25-18, 25-20, 25-16.
Mia Hogan paced the Scots with
nine kills. Lauren Tierney returned
to action after missing 12 matches
due to injury, tabbing 19 assists
and two service aces.
Sequoia downed Woodside in
four sets, 25-19, 19-25, 25-17,
25-21. Leanne Robinson totaled
14 kills, 21 digs, four aces and two
blocks. Rachel Fink added 10 kills
and 32 digs. Angela Hudelson
tabbed 35 assists.

Kings top Sharks 4-1
SAN JOSE Dustin Brown snapped a tie
44 seconds into the second period, and the
Los Angeles Kings beat the San Jose Sharks
4-1 in an NHL preseason game on Tuesday
night.
Drew Doughty, in his rst appearance of
the preseason, scored the tying goal mid-
way through the first period. Justin
Williams and Dwight King also scored for
the Kings (4-0-1).
Joe Thornton scored for the Sharks, who
lost in regulation at home for the rst time
in ve preseason games.
Los Angeles Jonathan Quick stopped 16
of 17 shots in two periods in his rst pre-
season game appearance. Martin Jones
saved all seven shots he faced in the third

came out of retirement this year with his
sights set on competing at the Rio Games.
Phelps issued an apology that sounded
very familiar to the ones he made after a
drunken-driving arrest a decade ago, as well
as when a British tabloid published a photo-

ijuana pipe.

Not only is the College of San Mateo
football team off to a perfect 4-0 start, it has
done so emphatically.
Through those four games, the Bulldogs
have outscored their opponents 185-42 and
are fth in the state in points per game at

This begs the question: Is CSM that good
or have their opponents been that bad?
To CSM head coach Bret Pollack, it does-
nt matter.
Who knows? Pollack said. I just know
weve been better than the four teams weve
played. We have to play six more teams to
nd out (how good we are).
There are high expectations and guys are
living up to those expectations.
There is an indication the answer is A
the Bulldogs are just that good. In a 52-7
win over Delta Saturday, they were without
ve starters, including the quarterback who
started the rst two games, along with a
front-line running back and several interior
linemen.
And CSM has yet to skip a beat.
We had ve guys who hadnt started,
starting in that game (against Delta). The
guys backing up are coming in and playing
well and keeping the thing going straight,
Pollack said. [Our season] hasnt been
injury free and were overcoming them,
which speaks volumes about our depth.
Every season youre going to have
adversity and how you handle that adversity
determines (your success). This team has
seen quite a bit of adversity and has done a
good job of handling it.
Post-season changes
At the end of last season, there was a lot
of disappointment for CSM, which nished
10-1, but did not receive a berth into the
Northern California championship game.
This year, there will be no politics in
determining who is the best. Northern
California got in line with Southern
California and both sections will now use a
four-team playoff to determine the Nor Cal
and So Cal representatives in the state
championship game.
There are now three, six-team A confer-
ences. The winner of each conference, along
with an at-large team, will play a pair of
seminal games and a title game to deter-
mine the Nor Cal champion and the Norths
representative in the state title match.
A group of coaches have been pushing
for it for years, Pollack said.
If the formula was in use last season, CSM
would have been the No. 2 seed behind No.
1 Butte, with Fresno No. 3 and American
River No. 4.
CSM made it case it should have been in
the Nor Cal title game last year, with a 75-9
pasting of American River in the 2013
Bulldog Bowl.
Up next: at American River
Saturdays tilt in the outskirts of
Sacramento is a matchup of the No. 1 team
in the state (CSM) against the No. 3 team in
California (American River).
American River comes into the game with
a 4-0 record as well and are averaging just
under 30 points per game, while putting up
365 yards of offense per contest 122
rushing and 243 passing which is middle
of the pack in the state.
Theyre a good, talented, well-coached
team, Pollack said.
Defensively, American River is giving up
under 20 points per game and is an oppor-
tunistic defense. Its 10 interceptions is sec-
ond in the state and it has scored four defen-
sive touchdowns this season.
Over the last couple of seasons, American
River has mirrored the rise of CSM. The
Beavers were a solid program that has taken
the next step and has become one of the
states elite squads.
They did a good job of building it,
Pollack said. They recruit their base well.
Theyre doing it the right way.

(earlier this year) to shooting a 49 today.
Yet, after posting her best round of the
season, the junior Stanley walked off the
course like it was no big deal, according to
Dowd.
She was just her normal self, Dowd said.
She just came in and said, I shot a 49 but I
think I can do better.
Burlingames scorecard rounded out with
No. 3 Sarah Downing shooting a 43, No. 4
Megan McEnerey shooting a 47 and No. 5
Claire Colson shooting a 54.
Now the Panthers nd themselves in unfa-
miliar territory. In years past, Aragon and
Menlo-Atherton have always been the class
of the PAL. This season though in the
leagues rst season being split into a Bay
Division and an Ocean Division due to the
addition of two new programs, Terra Nova
and El Camino Burlingame is right in the
thick of the Bay Division race.
Burlingame previously defeated M-A this
season in a 218-219 thriller.
Weve been third place the last couple
years, Dowd said. Its pretty much the
same group of girls. So, weve been able to
watch them grow. Its good to see them
get better and improve.
The parity across the league is the best
Aragon head coach Guy Oling has seen
since he began coaching at the outset of
PAL girls golf in 1997, he said. And the
depth of his Dons squad is uniquely strong
as well.
This is the rst time weve ever had ve
(players) that are really strong, Oling said.
Its really exciting.
No. 1 Kelly Fang paced the Dons Tuesday
with a 37. No. 2 Allie Chen shot a 43, while
the super sophomores as Oling calls
them of No. 3 Tessa Ulrich and No. 4
Emily Paras shot a 40 and 45, respectively.
No. 5 Lindsay Block shot a 50. No. 6
Caroline Digioacchino shot a 54.
[Fang] has been consistently shooting
between 36 and 38, Oling said. Valerie is
the same. Theyve been ip-opping medal-
ists from day to day, so its nice to have two
medal nalists on a regular basis.
Now a senior, Fang previously won a PAL
championship as a freshman in 2011 .
Senior Valerie Chen was the runner-up last
season as a junior to San Mateos Aman
Sangha.
All four of Aragons seniors are four-year
varsity players. The two sophomores are on
track to do the same, having both played
varsity last season as freshmen.
In PAL Ocean Division action, Capuchino
defeated South City, 270-297 at San
Franciscos Harding Park. With the win, the
Mustangs remain undefeated on the year.
Miki Solorzano medaled for Cap with a 50,
while Natalie Estelita and Liz Devlin each

By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Edinson Volquezs ren-
aissance began with a simple game of catch.
During his brief session with Pittsburgh
Pirates pitching coach Ray Searage on that
January day at the teams training facility in
Florida, the talented but erratic right-hander
listened as Searage outlined a plan to help
the 31-year-old regain the form that once
made him an All-Star.
He felt wanted, Searage said. That
builds trust.
Ten months later, Volquez will try to repay
that trust by sending the Pirates into the NL
Division Series for the second straight year
when he starts Wednesday nights wild-card
game against San Francisco.
The raucous scene that awaits Volquez at
PNC Park is in stark contrast to his igno-
minious exit from San Diego last summer,
when the oundering Padres released him
after a miserable stretch
in which his ERA bal-
looned to 6.01.
Its kind of sad a little
bit, Volquez said. You
feel like your career is
over.
He ended 2013 with the
Los Angeles Dodgers,
where he showed minor
improvement before hit-
ting the free-agent mar-
ket. But most teams hardly seemed interest-
ed in signing a pitcher who spent a half-
decade struggling with his command and
composure.
Yet he found a home in Pittsburgh, where
the clubhouse has become an Ellis Island of
sorts for players looking to regain some-
thing theyve lost.
A year ago it was left-hander Francisco
Liriano, who signed with the Pirates and put
together a 16-8 season that included a victo-
ry over Cincinnati in the wild-card game.
Liriano and Volquez are good friends, and
while the $5 million ier Pittsburgh took
on Volquez to be a back-of-the-rotation guy
raised eyebrows, he remained condent he
could make the changes necessary to
become competitive.
People (who) know about baseball, they
knew I was really close to getting ready to
go, Volquez said.
Searage tweaked Volquezs delivery.
Pirates catcher Russell Martin worked with
him to set a steady pace during games, often
hustling to the mound when Volquez starts
working too quickly. When Volquez gets out
of rhythm, his mechanics run amok.
Early on he couldnt control it. He had
elbows and knees ying all over the place,
Searage said. Now hes able to control it
better. Thats the biggest thing between a
major leaguer and a minor leaguer they
basically have the same stuff, but it all
comes up to (their mental approach).
Volquez responded by going 13-7 with a
3.04 ERAin a team-high 32 starts, the lone
constant in a rotation that saw Liriano,
Gerrit Cole and Charlie Morton spend a sig-
nicant amount of time on the disabled list.
Volquez went 5-0 with a 1.64 ERAin his last
11 starts, his consistency one of the main
reasons the Pirates sent Cole to the mound
in the regular-season finale against
Cincinnati in a last-ditch bid to win the NL
Central. Cole was brilliant but Pittsburgh
lost 4-1, putting its hopes of an extended
playoff stay in Volquezs maturing hands.
Its the biggest start of his career, but
Volquez isnt exactly sweating it. He spent
Monday laying around his house napping.
On Tuesday he traded jokes with other Latin
players before playing long toss and shag-
ging ies during batting practice.
Ive got to pitch my game and be
myself, he said.

in a season full of them. The club that once
had the best record in baseball wilted over
the second half of the season, and needed a
victory on the nal day of the regular sea-
son just to squeeze into the playoffs.
They had chances to put all that in the
past. Instead, it will be dragged up for years.
A much-anticipated pitching showdown
between Oakland ace Jon Lester and Kansas
City counterpart James Shields instead
turned into a high-scoring game and a battle
of attrition between their bullpens.
Brandon Moss helped the As strike rst,
belting a two-run homer in the rst inning
and a three-run shot in the fth. The Royals
countered by playing small ball, stealing
seven bases to tie a postseason record pre-
viously shared by the 1907 Chicago Cubs
and 1975 Cincinnati Reds, according to
STATS.
Kansas City clawed back from a four-run
decit over the nal two innings.
The impassioned play by a scrappy bunch
of Royals that have rarely tasted success
energized a sellout crowd that had been pin-
ing for postseason baseball since the 1985
World Series.
Then again, maybe it was the crowd that
energized the Royals.
Oakland had built a big lead after the fth
inning, and Lester long a thorn in the
side of Kansas City had started to hit his
stride. But As manager Bob Melvin opted to
send him out for the eighth inning, and the
Royals nally got Lester into a real jam.
Luke Gregerson entered in relief but failed
to provide much. By the time he struck out
Perez and Omar Infante to leave runners on
second and third, the As four-run lead had
become one.
Doolittle tried to nish the game off in
the ninth, but he served up a leadoff single
to pinch-hitter Josh Willingham. Pinch-
runner Jarrod Dyson was sacriced to sec-
ond, and then brashly stole third base,
allowing him to score on Aokis sacrice y
to right eld.
It was the third time in the last three sea-
sons Doolittle has blown a postseason
save.
By that point, a series of blunders by the
Royals and manager Ned Yost had become
moot.
Sean Doolittle tried to nish the game off
in the ninth, but he gave up a bloop single
to pinch-hitter Josh Willingham. Pinch-
runner Jarrod Dyson was sacriced to second
and then brashly stole third, allowing him
to score on Aokis sacrice y to deep right
eld.
It was the third time in the last three sea-
sons that Doolittle has blown a postseason
save.
By that point, a series of blunders by the
Royals and manager Ned Yost had become
moot.
The rst occurred in the rst inning, when
slow-footed designated hitter Billy Butler
was caught wandering off rst base on an
attempted steal with a runner on third. Eric
Hosmer broke late for the plate and was
thrown out easily to end the inning.
In the sixth, Yost yanked Shields the
ace of his staff and called on Yordano
Ventura. The rookie promptly served up
Moss go-ahead, three-run homer.
All that was forgotten as midnight
approached at Kauffman Stadium. And now,
none of it will be remembered after one of
the most dramatic games in franchise histo-
ry.

McKenzie made the decision to re Allen
and then let owner Mark Davis know his
plans. Davis supported McKenzies call but
now pressure turns to the general manager
whose additions have not led to a better
record.
Allen is the third coach red during the sea-
son by Oakland since Al Davis arrived. Mike
Shanahan was red after four games in 1989
and Lane Kifn was let go four games into the
2008 season.
In my analysis, I think we do have players
that can play in this game, Davis said. I just
think that there may be some changes in how
the schemes are utilized.
Sparano becomes Oaklands eighth coach
in the past 12 seasons. The Raiders have not
made the playoffs or had a winning record
since winning the 2002 AFC championship.
Sparano had a 29-32 record as head coach in
Miami from 2008-11. He took over a one-win
team in 2008 and led the Dolphins to an 11-5
record and an AFC East title. That was his
only winning season and he was red with
three games remaining in 2011.
Sparano said he was still working out par-
ticulars about play-calling and other details
and would talk to his players on Wednesday
about what changes he planned to make.
While he was not ready to offer specics on
Tuesday, he did say there would be a philoso-
phy change when the team returns from the
bye week to play its next game at home
against San Diego on Oct. 12.
We need to make sure were asking our
football players here as coaches to do the
things that they do best, Sparano said. We
have some good football players here, a lot
of them. They do a lot of good things. We
need to let them do what they do best.
Allen and McKenzie were hired after the
team nished 8-8 under coach Hue Jackson in
2011, falling one game short of a playoff
bid.They were expected to steady a franchise
that fell into disarray during Al Davis nal
years as owner. Instead, the team has only
gotten worse, posting back-to-back four-win
seasons before getting off to the 0-4 start this
year despite adding players like Justin Tuck,
LaMarr Woodley, Maurice Jones-Drew, Carlos
Rogers, Tarell Brown, James Jones, Antonio
Smith and Matt Schaub in the offseason.
Even worse, the Raiders have looked over-
matched at times. They fell behind 27-0 after
three quarters of their only home game
against Houston and trailed by 31 points after
three quarters against the Dolphins.
In all, Allen had more losses by at least 20
points (nine) than wins. It was performances
like those that Mark Davis said he no longer
wanted to see in Allens third season and that
ultimately led to his downfall.
To me, thats not what the Raiders are,
Davis said. And were still trying to get to be
what the Raiders are.
Davis cited this years draft class led by
linebacker Khalil Mack, quarterback Derek
Carr and guard Gabe Jackson as players who
could form the foundation.
But he was not willing to commit long-
term to McKenzie, who has two years remain-
ing on his contract, or Sparano. Davis said he
would have more involvement in the hiring
of the new coach than last time when he let
McKenzie pick Allen.
He also said he might reach out to former
coach Jon Gruden about a possible return.
Thats the future and Im not going to talk
about future coaches, Davis said.
Sparano has 12 games to show that he
should be that guy.
RAIDERS
know they can play with Carlmont,
Sorenson said. Because [the Carlmont dou-
bles teams have] been playing very well this
season.
Carlmont prevented a Bears doubles sweep
by picking up a point at No. 2 doubles, where
Cassidy Sobey and Sandra Strongin beat
Sally Carlson and Amanda Scandalios 7-6 (7-
5), 6-4.
M-A also won three of the four singles
matches and clinched the win with its fourth
point at No. 2 singles where Sami Andrews
beat Mar Burgueno, 7-5, 6-2.
The Bears Laney Van Linge had little trou-
ble in her No. 1 singles match as the fresh-
man cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 victory. Van Linge is
a junior tournament player and is already
among the best in the PALthis season.
She is absolutely committed to very seri-
ous tennis, Sorenson said of Van Linge.
She has all the skills. What shes working
on is being more of a grinder, more patient.
Amelia Tiemann gave the Bears their third
point in singles play with a 6-3, 6-3 victory.
Carlmont picked up its second point at No.
3 singles, where Shehal Pandey got past Laila
Volpe in three sets, 6-3, 0-6, 6-0.
Before last season, M-Ahad dominated the
Bay Division, winning what Sorenson esti-
mated to be 50 to 60 PAL matches in a row.
Last year, however, Carlmont and Hillsdale
tied for the Bay title. Sorenson said it would
be great to take his team back to the top, but
he did not want to put too much pressure on
his team.
There are teams that need goal setting and
there are some team that dont want that,
Sorenson said. Its match by match for us.
In other Bay Division action, San Mateo
pulled into a second-place tie with Carlmont
following a 7-0 win over Sequoia. The
Bearcats lost a total of nine games over seven
matches, with Michelle Kwon (No. 2 sin-
gles), Ilana Basman (No. 4 singles), Emily
Chan and Lauren Young (No. 1 doubles) and
Deanna Chan and Tiffany Lee (No. 3 doubles)
all won their matches 6-0, 6-0.
Burlingame held off Aragon 4-3. The
Panthers swept the doubles matches and got a
win at No. 1 singles to beat the Dons.
In a key Ocean Division tennis match, Half
Moon Bay stayed in a tie for rst with a 6-1
win over second-place Mills.
Natalie Barger and Annesha Gharpurey,
Half Moon Bays No. 3 and No. 4 singles
players, combined to lose only one game.
Barger won her match at love, while
Gharpurey won 6-1, 6-0.
All seven matches were won in straight
sets.
In the West Catholic Athletic League, Notre
Dame-Belmont dropped a 5-2 decision to
Sacred Heart Cathedral 5-2. The Tigers No. 1
singles player, Alivia Horsely, dropped a 6-3,
6-1 decision to Claire Perliss, while the No. 1
doubles team of Sophia La Herran and Bridget
Moriarty fell to Lea Ming and Jade Noguera 6-
0, 6-3.

SANTA CLARA Michael Wilhoite
knows he had important shoes to ll when-
ever he takes the eld.
NaVorro Bowman, out with a knee injury,
has been impressed with his replacement.
San Francisco opened the season without
two All-Pro linebackers in Bowman and
Aldon Smith. Wilhoite helped ease those
losses with solid play.
Its just condence in myself, Wilhoite
said Tuesday. Any time you step on the
eld, your pride is on the line. I want to go
out and play good football.
Wilhoite was one of the reasons the 49ers
held the Philadelphia Eagles to 22 yards
rushing on 12 attempts. Frank Gore and
Colin Kaepernick each
had runs of at least 23
yards.
Im very impressed,
Bowman said. He knows
Im working to get back
and he understands his
opportunities. This is his
chance to show he can
play in the NFL.
Wilhoite knows all
about taking advantage
of his chances. He went virtually unnoticed
at Division II Washburn University but
caught on with the Omaha Knighthawks of
the UFL, where he was moved from safety to
linebacker.
He signed with San Francisco following
his only season in the UFL, which featured
former NFL coaches, and has steadily pro-
gressed.
Mike is a good coverage linebacker,
Bowman said. Hes starting to get a feel
when he can take a chance or not. That
comes with experience.
For Wilhoite, the biggest adjustment is
getting comfortable playing next to Patrick
Willis. He says its an on-going process.
Well progress every week, Wilhoite
said. Its gotten better from Week 1 to Week
2. I get condence from knowing Patrick has
condence in me. Its about working togeth-
er, rep after rep, mistake after mistake, look-
ing at each other and communicating.
Plenty is going right for the 49ers, who
lead the NFC in rushing defense and are sec-
ond in the NFL in overall defense.
Sundays game against the Kansas City
Chiefs and former 49ers quarterback Alex
Smith, represents another challenge.
The Chiefs rank second in the AFC and
fourth overall in rushing offense.
Its only four games and its a long sea-
son, Wilhoite said. Were playing good
defense over the last three games and well
try to put on the same performance this
week.
In addition to his tackles, Wilhoite has
defended a pair of passes and forced a fumble.
NaVorro helps me a lot, Wilhoite said.
Hes always in my ear and pointing out
things to look for, things I may not see on
the eld. NaVorro loves this team and wants
to help in any way he can.

Its unlikely it can go any worse than his
other postseason start. The Philadelphia
Phillies tagged Volquez for four runs in 1 2-
3 innings during Game 1 of the 2010 NL
Division Series when he played for
Cincinnati. Phillies starter Roy Halladay
threw a no-hitter that day to start a three-
game sweep.
Four years later, Volquez faces another for-
midable task: beating a team that thrives
this time of year. The Giants have captured
two World Series titles this decade, includ-
ing a resilient run in 2012 when they won
six elimination games on their way to the
championship.
Most of the core that celebrated with a
champagne shower after sweeping the
Tigers in the World Series two years ago
remains intact, including left-hander
Madison Bumgarner. The 25-year-old is
coming off a solid regular season in which
he went 18-10 with a 2.98 ERA. He lost his
only start against Pittsburgh, giving up ve
runs in four innings on
July 28 at AT&T Park.
The vibe will be decid-
edly different this time
around on the other side
of the country. And thats
just ne by Bumgarner.
Hes been here before,
and so have most of the
other guys in the San
Francisco clubhouse,
including his manager.
I dont know whats going to happen,
but youre going to see guys who are com-
fortable playing in this type of game,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Theyre
all about winning. I dont think theyll be
affected by any kind of element or environ-
ment.
Including whatever Volquez might have in
store. He hardly resembles the enigma who
could never nd his footing in San Diego.
Now hes ourishing in Pittsburgh with a
chance to cement his transformation from
lost cause to something else entirely.
Hes become a complete pitcher,
Searage said. His evolution of becoming a
major league pitcher has been nothing but
forward.

Michigan students protest,
demand AD Brandons firing
ANN ARBOR, Mich. About 1,000
University of Michigan students have
marched to the home of school President
Mark Schlissel to protest against the per-
formance of athletic director Dave Brandon
and football coach Brady Hoke.
Tuesday evenings rally came shortly after
Schlissel apologized for the way the team
handled a head injury to quarterback Shane
Morris during Saturdays 30-14 loss to vis-
iting Minnesota.
The protest came as disappointments
mount for the 2-3 Wolverine and focused
on coaches failure to keep Morris out
of the game after his head injury. Brady
says he was unaware that Morris hurt his
head in a helmet collision.
The Michigan Daily reports that students
called for the athletic directors removal
with chants of re Brandon and down
with Dave.
The Ann Arbor News estimates that about
1,000 people participated.
Stow sues Dodgers again
LOS ANGELES An attorney for Bryan
Stow, the gravely injured Giants fan who
won a multimillion-dollar damage suit
against the Dodgers, has sued the team
again, claiming it is trying to recoup $3.4
million in insurance payments from Stow
for his medical care after a beating.
Attorney Tom Girardi said in the lawsuit
filed Monday in Los Angeles that the
Dodgers and its insurer want the money
returned from the $18 million awarded to
Stow this summer by a jury.

STANFORD The offense has
struggled enough through the rst
four games this season that even
Stanfords stoic coach vented in pub-
lic.
Three days later, David Shaw is
sticking to the critical assessment he
gave after the Cardinals 20-13 win at
Washington. He said the offense is
not playing up to its potential and
the team cant keep relying on the
nations best defense to bail it out.
The frustrating part is that theres
not one thing, Shaw said Tuesday.
It would be great if there was one
thing that we have to change.
Shaws sluggish offense will need
to x its problems fast. No. 14
Stanford (3-1) has a date at ninth-
ranked Notre Dame (4-0) on Saturday,
the teams nal non-conference
game.
Stanford has the nations top scor-
ing defense (6.5 points) and is allow-
ing a Football Bowl Subdivision-
low 198 yards per game. But the
Cardinals offense hasnt been able
to keep up, ranking 77th in scoring
(27.5 points) and 68th in total
offense (413.3 yards) per game.
Stanford also has nine turnovers,
is averaging nearly six penalties per
game and senior kicker Jordan
Williamson is just 4 for 8 on eld
goals.
Turnovers and penalties and
missed eld goals have crushed us in
the red zone, Shaw said. Its being
condent. Its being efcient. Its
being productive. Its always advanc-
ing, never retreating.
Unfortunately for the coach and the
Cardinal, it has been too much of the
latter lately.
Stanford has won three of four
games despite its offense, though a
13-10 home loss to Southern
California in which the defense dom-
inated still stings. The Cardinal near-
ly repeated that disaster last Saturday.
Six times Stanford drove inside the
Washington 30, but a missed eld
goal by Williamson and a fumble by
quarterback Kevin Hogan kept the
game close. The Cardinal committed
three turnovers, including Remound
Wrights fumble late in the second
quarter that Shaq Thompson returned
32 yards for a touchdown to pull the
Huskies (4-1) even at 13.
I think its just honing in on the
details and the little things, Hogan
said. Were putting together good
drives good, long drives and
its just one or two plays once we get
further down. So its just keeping
those long drives going and not
relaxing and not allowing those mis-
takes to happen.
Shaw said the mistakes are cor-
rectable and he will not change the
offenses schemes in the red zone
because they have been remark-
ably efficient with Hogan and
Andrew Luck at quarterback previ-
ously. Instead, he said he expects
his players to complete the plays
like they do in practice.
Shaw also will continue to use a
rotation of running backs Wright,
Kelsey Young, Barry Sanders and
Ricky Seale that has come under
scrutiny because, like the offense, it
has produced mixed results. Stanford
is averaging 165.5 yards rushing
after running for 207.4 yards per
game last season behind featured tail-
back Tyler Gaffney.
Part of that is also due to a talented
but young offensive line, which has
four new starters this season. The
unit has improved, Shaw said, but
needs to get better.
The challenge this week will be as
daunting as any Stanfords offense
faces all season.
The Fighting Irish play a similar,
physical front as Stanfords defense,
and the teams have matched up well
against each other recently. The
Cardinal beat Notre Dame 27-20 last
season at Stanford. In 2012, the Irish
stuffed Stepfan Taylor inches from
the end zone before a controversial
whistle blew the play dead on fourth
down, sealing a 20-13 overtime vic-
tory against the Cardinal in South
Bend.
Shaw compared Notre Dames
defense to the aggressive styles New
York Jets coach Rex Ryan and San
Francisco 49ers defensive coordina-
tor Vic Fangio employ because
everybody is a viable blitzer. He
said the communication between
Hogan and the offensive line will
need to be at its best.

income insurance plan including another
pain management clinic, a new managed
care ofce and treating the alcohol depend-
ent with a drug that has shown good results.
The additional revenue depends on the
number of actual Health Plan San Mateo
members and enrollment is volatile due to
Medi-Cal enrollment issues, said Health
System Chief Jean Fraser.
Since the advent of the federal Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, HPSM
enrollment has grown from 71,000 to
100,000 and with the new enrollees, more
money. While the county is currently chal-
lenged to provide adequate access to all, the
extra funds will be used to establish another
pain management clinic in the north county
because the existing southern facility does
not have enough appointments. A new
Ofce of Managed Care will reach out to
existing HPSM members assigned to the
San Mateo Medical Center to get them
involved in primary care, particularly those
moderate mental illness. The expected
prevalence is 30 percent of the population.
HPSM will also expand an existing pilot
using Vivitrol, a medication that eliminates
alcohol craving. Doing so has a domino
effect on emergency room visits, criminal
justice and social services that add up to sig-
nicant savings, said Steve Kaplan, direc-
tor of the countys Behavior Health and
Recovery Services.
The 18-month pilot served 17 people and
showed marked differences. In the six
months prior to starting the pilot, the par-
ticipants averaged five ER visits. Six
months after, the average was .2, Fraser
said.
Kaplan said the clients also reported seri-
ously declined alcohol cravings and the
department has heard heartwarming anec-
dotal stories of increased health and family
reunications. The medicine doesnt address
the recovery issues other than the physical
but gives them a real jump-start, Kaplan
said.
Kaplan said the expansion is projected to
serve 400 people annually and while not all
may end up on the medication they can still
be referred to other services.
Prior to the pilot, Vivitrol was not offered
to clients largely because it was originally
in a daily pill form which is challenging to
get users to take as directed. The manufactur-
er later came out with a monthly injection
which is what will be used in San Mateo
County.
The pills are pennies on the dollar but the
shot retails for $1,000 each. The Health
System was able to secure a pharmaceutical
discount of about half that cost.
The expectation is that people may be on
the injectable three to six months.
Even with a hefty shot price tag, Kaplan
said the savings are signicant because it
affects costs to areas outside health like
public safety social services.
This is just going to be a life changer,
Kaplan said.
HPSM will pick up the cost of the medica-
tion but the Health System will be responsi-
ble for outreach and hiring substance abuse
counselors to connect with potential
clients through probation or at the emer-
gency room and primary care clinics. The
systems contractor will also hire recovery
coaches.
The plan for the pilot expansion was one
component of Frasers presentation to the
Board of Supervisors Tuesday on her depart-
ments September budget changes. Others
include adding staff to the inpatient psychi-
atric unit to improve safety, helping the
Sheriffs Ofce create a psychiatric emer-
gency response team, remodeling an exist-
ing clinic to accommodate the pain manage-
ment piece and adding two temporary
recruiters to deal with a human resources
backlog.
Altogether, the board approved a budget 8
percent higher than recommended.
Other September revisions included $10
million for purchasing 2700 Middleeld
Road where the new Fair Oaks Health Center
was built and $1.3 million to settle a law-
suit over it with builders. The Human
Services Agency gets an extra $1.1 million
for facility renovations and $100,000 in
matching funds were approved for the
Daybreak homeless teen house.
With adoption of the nal $2.2 billion
budget including the September adjust-
ments, the general fund reserves stand at
$216 million or 16.9 percent.
County Manager John Maltbie said the
county is also making good headway on its
unfunded liability which is down $150.2
million to $803.9 million.
Were clearly moving in the right direc-
tion, Maltbie said.

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghanistan and
the United States signed a security pact on
Tuesday to allow U.S. forces to remain in the
country past the end of year, ending a year of
uncertainty over the fate of foreign troops
supporting Afghans as they take over the
ght against the Taliban insurgency.
Under the pact, along with a separate deal
signed with NATO, about 10,000 American
troops and several thousand more from other
NATO countries will stay to train and advise
Afghan forces, after the international combat
mission ends Dec. 31.
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai had
refused to sign it despite U.S. threats of a full
withdrawal in the absence of legal protections
for American forces. U.S. ofcials have said
that the delay in the deals signing does not
affect plans for next year.
President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, who was
sworn into ofce a day earlier, told a crowd
assembled at the presidential palace in the
capital Kabul for the signing ceremony that
the agreement signaled a fundamental shift for
the positive in the countrys relations with
the world.

BEIRUT U.S.-led coalition airstrikes tar-
geted ghters, vehicles and artillery pieces of
the Islamic State group on both sides of the
Syria-Iraq frontier Tuesday, including around a
beleaguered Kurdish town near the Syrian-
Turkish border that is under assault by the mil-
itants, activists said.
The aerial campaign, which began last
week in Syria and last month in Iraq, aims to
destroy the extremist faction known as the
Islamic State, which has seized control of a
huge chunk of territory stretching from north-
ern Syria to the western outskirts of the Iraqi
capital.
Despite the coalition airstrikes, the mili-
tants have pressed their offensive on the town
of Kobani, also known by its Arabic name
Ayn Arab, and surrounding villages near
Syrias border with Turkey. The ghting has
created one of the single largest exoduses in
Syrias civil war, now in its fourth year: More
than 160,000 ed the area into Turkey over
the past few days, the U.N. humanitarian chief
Valerie Amos said.
Their fear is so great that many people
crossed heavily mined elds to seek refuge,
she told the U.N. Security Council.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said Tuesdays strikes hit
Islamic State ghters east and west of Kobani.
The Local Coordination Committees, another
activist group, also conrmed the airstrikes
on the towns outskirts.

Much as we love a classic chicken
noodle soup, we decided to mess with
ours a bit.
The essence of the dish stayed the
same chicken and noodles swim-
ming in chicken broth. But for avor,
we went overseas, drawing inspiration
from two unrelated dishes African
peanut soup and spicy Thai peanut
noodles. The combination was won-
derful, assertive but still homey and
comfortable.
While you could use any cooked noo-
dle in this recipe, we liked the robust
flavor of soba noodles. These thin
noodles made from buckwheat cook
quickly and have a great texture that
works well in soups. You can nd them
in the Asian aisle of most grocers.
CHICKEN NOODLE
PEANUT BUTTER SOUP
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper akes
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless
chicken thighs, cut into bite-size
pieces
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup scallions
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Hot sauce, to taste
Cooked soba (or other) noodles, to
serve
Toasted sesame seeds, to serve
In a large pot over medium-high,
heat the olive oil. Add the onion and
red pepper akes and saute until the
onions are tender. Add the chicken and
cook until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
The chicken does not need to be fully
cooked at this stage. Stir in the chick-
en broth and peanut butter and simmer
for 10 minutes. Stir in the scallions,
then season with salt, pepper and hot
sauce.
To serve, place noodles in a bowl
then ladle the soup over them. Garnish
with toasted sesame seeds.

Pasta tends to be a dinnertime trap.
We get it. Feeding your family on a busy
weeknight requires the navigation of a
complicated matrix in which you must bal-
ance the competing demands of limited
cooking time, ingredient availability,
dwindling energy and patience, picky chil-
dren, ringing phones, ridiculous after-
school activity schedules and of course
homework.
So we understand how it happens. You
discover those two or three easy pasta
dishes that somehow can come together in
the midst of all that chaos and that every-
one or at least most of your family
will actually eat. And once you find those
dishes, you soon find yourself in the pasta
trap. You almost never make any other
pasta dish.
But we wanted to help spring you from
the trap. We came up with 10 fresh ideas for
serving up pasta for dinner. None is com-
plicated. All are versatile enough to adapt
to whatever you have on hand. And all can
be made with whatever pasta size or shape
you've got. Because who has time to fuss
over farfalle vs. penne when soccer prac-
tice is screaming down your neck?
10 FRESH WAYS TO
SERVE PASTA FOR DINNER:
Caprese: Toss a pint of halved grape
tomatoes, 2 cloves minced fresh garlic, a
container of pearl-sized fresh mozzarella

and black pepper, tossing well.
Thai peanut: In a blender, combine 1/2
cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 2
tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice wine
vinegar and a dash of hot sauce. Stir into

Lets talk about one of the seasons
most iconic vegetables canned
pumpkin.
Yes, canned, because thats how 99
percent of us get our pumpkin.
Which is fine except for one thing
Americans overwhelmingly associ-
ate canned pumpkin with just one
dish (pumpkin pie) and one day of
the year (Thanksgiving). But canned
pumpkin actually has all sorts of
uses in the kitchen, no matter what
the season.
Pumpkin purees rich flavor and
creamy sweetness work great in both
sweet and savory dishes. While we
are so busy topping our pies with
whipped cream, we have forgotten
what a nutritional bargain this bul-
bous squash actually is, packing
tons of fiber and vitamins. And while
it is naturally sweet, 1 cup has only
about as much sugar as milk.
One good part about canned pump-
ki ns association with
Thanksgiving. ... It often goes on
sale this time of year. Since it stores
so well, this is the time to stock up.
(True story: I just used my final can
of pumpkin from last fall this week
in order to make todays recipe.)
Some of my favorite uses for pump-
kin puree include:
Stirring 1/2 cup into brownie or
chocolate cake batter to add nutrients
and moisture.
Adding 1/4 cup to smoothies for
creaminess and vitamins.
Slimming down baked goods by
swapping out part of the fat for
pumpkin puree.
Whisking a bit into stews or
chilies for added richness and depth.
Layering it with Greek yogurt,
bananas, maple syrup and granola for
a super-charged morning breakfast
parfait.
Blending it with coffee, milk and
spices for a homemade fall latte.
And lets not forget that pumpkin
is, after all, a squash. Why not con-
sider making a pumpkin puree soup?
No laborious peeling and cubing
needed! The sweet flavor pairs per-
fectly with spices, but feel free to use
pumpkin puree in any of your
favorite winter squash soup recipes.
PUMPKIN
PEANUT CURRY BISQUE
Start to finish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil (or coconut oil)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
(about 3/4 cup)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small Yukon gold potato, peeled
and cubed (1-inch cubes)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled,
cored and cubed (1-inch cubes)
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken
stock or vegetable stock
1 cup water, plus more if needed
15-ounce can pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons smooth peanut but-
ter
Salt and ground black pepper
Chopped fresh mint or cilantro, to
serve
In a large saucepan over medium,
heat the oil. Add the onion and cook
until tender, but not brown, about 5
minutes. Add the garlic, potato,
apple and curry paste. Cook, stirring
constantly, until the curry paste is
very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to high, add the
stock and 1 cup of water.
Once the liquid boils, reduce the
heat to medium-low, partially cover
the pan, then let the soup cook until
the potato and apple are very tender,
about 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and
let cool slightly. Stir in the pumpkin
and peanut butter. Working in batch-
es, transfer the soup to a blender and
puree until smooth, about 1 minute.
The texture should be like heavy
whipping cream. If the soup is too
thick, whisk in a bit of water. Season
with salt and pepper. Divide between
4 serving bowls and top with mint or
cilantro.

believe, but some have tried to circumvent,
tired to go around the law and the
Constitution and the publics right to the
beach. This afrms that and thats a message
to not just Mr. Khosla, but others who feel
their right of property precludes the pub-
lics rights, Hill said.
The new law only applies to Martins
Beach, but proponents have argued it sets
an example to others who may wish to deny
access to coastal resources.
Browns signature was the second blow
against Khosla as a San Mateo County
Superior Court judge issued a temporary rul-
ing last Wednesday instructing him to
immediately reopen the beach until the
California Coastal Commission permits
otherwise.
The Surfrider Foundation led that law-
suit, alleging when Khosla locked the gate,
painted over a sign and hired security
guards, he altered the use of the land and
failed to garner mandated permits from the
Coastal Commission. Surfrider attorneys
have speculated Khosla may appeal the rul-
ing all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hill said he spoke with Khosla and lobby-
ist Rusty Areias who would only go so far as
to grant the public temporary access, likely
through the end of the year. Hill said any-
thing less than permanent access isnt a fair
solution and he hopes Khosla will now par-
ticipate in serious negotiations.
The bill easily passed the Senate but
encountered turbulence in the Assembly as
Khoslas lobbyists were able to amend it to
a watered-down version that encourages,
instead of requires, the SLC to use its
authority of eminent domain. Ultimately, it
carried in the Legislature 41-24 the exact
amount of votes needed to progress to the
governors desk.
The SLC has been in contact with Khosla
prior to the bill being passed and although
it hasnt ironed out a timeline, it will follow
the laws instruction, said SLC Executive
Ofcer Jennifer Lucchesi.
The SLC has long had the authority to
take private property in the interests of pro-
tecting public access to natural resources.
However, it has never done so.
Part of it is it hasnt gotten to that point
[in the past]. Weve had success with resolu-
tions through different avenues and using
different tools, said Sheri Pemberton, chief
of External Affairs for the SLC. I think that
the commission, staff would certainly do its
best to comply with the requirements of the
bill expeditiously.
Areias didnt return a request for comment.
However, Areias said previously Martins
Beach is a complex case and an ill-tted
property to test condemnation. Areias
argued the media created an inaccurate fairy
tale about Martins Beach and, when the pre-
vious owners decided to sell the property,
California State Parks, the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District and the Nature
Conservancy turned it down.
Yet coastal activists came forward in fer-
vent support of access to the property that
was once open to the public for more than
100 years.
Mike Wallace, Surfrider spokesman and
Half Moon Bay surf club coach, said the
lineup to surf Martins Beach has conse-
quentially grown with the notoriety, but it
was vital the public act to maintain it.
If you dont step up, you lose it. Id
rather share it with the crowd than not have
it, Wallace said. Publicity was the only
leverage that we had outside of court and in
fact, its gotten us to this point.
Wallace said Surfrider is thrilled with the
courts recent ruling and the governor now
supporting its cause to reopen the beach.
On a personal note, Wallace added he invites
Khosla and his family to join him in free
surng lessons and, instead of wasting state
resources, prefers to see the venture capital-
ist focus on using his talents for good.
I would encourage him to sober up to that
fact and come and negotiate with the State
Lands Commission for a reasonable right of
way thats acceptable for everybody and
keep that unique and beautiful beach open
for Californians. Thats why people ock to
the state and its very gratifying that the
governor, that the interests of the state, are
aligned with us in this issue, Wallace said.
Theres better things we can all be doing
and certainly Id rather see him saving the
world with his green ventures. He can be
a lot more productive doing that then ght-
ing a losing case in the courts. And to just
show that hes a good neighbor and a good
citizen.

learning disabilities. The school continues
to have more girls than boys, with females
making up 60 percent of the student popula-
tion, which is unusual, Wylde said.
Along with a new campus that only
required minor renovations like painting
and new furniture, the school has added new
classes and features. With its rst class,
which is an 11th-grade class getting ready
to apply to colleges, the school has hired
on a career counselor. The school has also
added a learning strategies class to help stu-
dents deepen their self-awareness, along
with music, graphic design and Latin class-
es. Honors classes are also new.
Technology has a big part in the class-
room, with Smartboards and e-textbooks.
This is like the school of the future,
one visitor told us, Wylde said. It has the
feel of a small college. Weve really
emphasized the idea one size does not t
all.
Another futuristic aspect of the school is
the fact classes dont begin until 8:45 a.m.
every day because of research that shows
teens need more sleep and as teens sleep
cycle changes to two hours later, its hard
for them to go to sleep earlier.
More changes will come to the two-story
facility, Wylde said. As the school grows,
the administration plans to add more class-
es both on the second oor and on the
ground oor, which the school is leasing
out space to tenants. This will allow for art
and science rooms to be added.
There really has been a need in the com-
munity to serve these kids, said Jean
Kovacs, vice chair of the schools Board of
Trustees.
The school hopes to grow to 10-15 stu-
dents per grade, reaching about 50-60 stu-
dents total.
Funding is something the administration
is working on and, as a nonprot, that
means it cant receive venture capital fund-
ing. Wyldes dream is to nd an angel donor.
The school does have several grants and has
raised about $500,000. With tuition at
$34,000 per year, the administration could
look into the possibility of applying to get
certified as a nonpublic school by the
California Department of Education so stu-
dents can get placed there. Tuition would be
paid for the students by the public school.
Thirty percent of students receive nancial
aid and tuition includes integrated services
such as speech therapy and support for stu-
dents as well as their families. The school is
focusing on getting Western Association of
Schools and Colleges, or WASC, accredita-
tion now.
The ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugu-
rate the new site is 9 a.m. Oct. 1 and Mayor
Robert Ross will give opening remarking.
Tours of the school will follow.
There will be an information session for
those interested in applying to the school 7
p.m. Oct. 28 at the school.

manufacturers immediately said it would
seek a voter referendum to repeal the law,
which is scheduled to take effect in July
2015.
Under SB270, plastic bags will be phased
out of checkout counters at large grocery
stores and supermarkets such as Wal-Mart
and Target starting next summer, and con-
venience stores and pharmacies in 2016.
The law does not apply to bags used for
fruits, vegetables or meats, or to shopping
bags used at other retailers. It allows gro-
cers to charge a fee of at least 10 cents for
using paper bags.
State Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles,
credits the momentum for statewide legisla-
tion to the more than 100 cities and coun-
ties, including Los Angeles and San
Francisco, that already have such bans.
The law marks a major milestone for envi-
ronmental activists who have successfully
pushed plastic bag bans in cities across the
U.S., including Chicago, Austin and
Seattle. Hawaii is also on track to have a de-
facto statewide ban, with all counties
approving prohibitions.
This bill is a step in the right direction
it reduces the torrent of plastic polluting
our beaches, parks and even the vast ocean
itself, Brown said in a signing statement.
Were the rst to ban these bags, and we
wont be the last.
Plastic bag manufacturers have aggres-
sively pushed back through their trade
group, the American Progressive Bag
Alliance, which aired commercials in
California blasting the ban as a cash-give-
away to grocers that would lead to a loss of
thousands of manufacturing jobs.
If this law were allowed to go into effect,
it would jeopardize thousands of California
manufacturing jobs, hurt the environment
and eece consumers for billions so grocery
store shareholders and their union partners
can line their pockets, Lee Califf, execu-
tive director of the manufacturer trade group,
said in a statement.
Padilla, the bills author, said
Californians would reject a referendum effort
and quickly adapt their behavior to help the
environment.
For those folks concerned about the 10
cent fee that may be charged for paper, the
simple elegant solution is to bring a
reusable bag to the store, Padilla said.
Shoppers leaving a Ralphs supermarket
Tuesday in downtown San Diego were divid-
ed as they weighed the legislations envi-
ronmental benets against its costs. San
Diego does not ban plastic bags.
With the amount of waste that we pro-
duce, we can try to help out by slightly
inconveniencing ourselves, said Megan
Schenfeld, 29, whose arms were full of gro-
ceries in plastic bags after leaving reusable
bags at home.
Robert Troxell, a 69-year-old former
newspaper editor, said the fees are more
than an inconvenience for retirees living on
xed incomes like him. He shops daily
because he has only a small refrigerator in
his hotel for low-income seniors.
It becomes a at tax on senior citizens,
said Troxell, who lives off social security
and other government assistance. I have
not disagreed with Jerry Brown on anything
until this.
The American Forest and Paper
Association, a trade group representing
paper bag makers, says the bill unfairly
penalizes consumers who use their com-
monly recycled products, while holding
reusable plastic bags to a lower standard for
recyclable content.
Responding to the concerns about job
losses, the bill includes $2 million in loans
for plastic bag manufacturers to shift their
operations to make reusable bags. That pro-
vision won the support of Los Angeles
Democratic Sens. Kevin De Leon and
Ricardo Lara, who had blocked earlier ver-
sions of the legislation.
BAGS
WHAT DOES THE LAW DO?
SB270 targets plastic bags provided at check-out counters at
grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores and liquor
shops.It does not apply to non-food retailers such as clothing
and electronics shops, nor does it apply to the plastic bags
provided at grocery stores for produce and meat. It will take
effect at larger stores July 2015 and expand to smaller
businesses in 2016.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
WITH PLASTIC BAGS?
Environmental groups and local governments say plastic bags
have been a vexing source of pollution. Because they dont
easily decompose, they end up littering parks, rivers, beaches
and oceans. Plastic debris can accumulate in the ocean and
ends up in the bellies of sh and other marine life. Cities and
countiesestimatetheyspendmillionsof dollarstocleanupthe
waste, according to an analysis of the bill.
WHAT ABOUT RECYCLING BAGS?
Some opponents of the legislation favor an approach that
encourages recycling plastic bags instead of banning them.
California set up such a program in 2006, but The Associated
Press found the state wasnt tracking how many bags were
recycled. The states last review of the data, in 2009, found a
recycling rate of only 3 percent, and ofcials doubt it has
improved much since then.
WHAT ABOUT PAPER?
The legislation allows stores to charge consumers at least 10
centseachfor paper bags,whichmanybusinessesnowprovide
for free.Opponentsof thelegislationhaveblastedtheprovision
as a cash-grab by grocers who supported the plastic bag ban.
The bills author Sen. Alex Padilla says existing bans show that
consumers quickly adapt and that the paper bag fees will not
be very lucrative for grocers.SB270 also limits how grocers can
spend the proceeds and requires stores to provide free bags
to people who are on public assistance.
WHO ELSE BANS BAGS?
Momentum has been picking up in recent years for plastic
bag bans in coastal communities and large cities across the
U.S, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin and Seattle. New
York City has been considering a ban, along with state
legislatures in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Hawaii alsoisontracktohaveade-factostatewidebanbecause
its four counties have adopted such ordinances.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The American Progressive Bag Alliance, a coalition of plastic
bag manufacturers, says it will seek a voter referendum to
overturnCaliforniaslaw.Thegrouphasthreemonthstogather
more than 500,000 valid signatures, the number needed to
place a referendum on the November 2016 ballot.The group
says it will push to make sure the law does not take effect until
voters have a say.

HOLY MOLE
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) By the time you explain
what you want done, you could have completed the
work yourself. Take time to do the things you enjoy
most. You deserve some fun.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Use your peers
as sounding boards to get feedback regarding
your next venture. Youll receive some worthwhile
contributions and suggestions. Use whatever
criticism you receive to your benet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Retreat to the
sidelines and watch what develops. You should delay
making any decisions or renements to your plans until
you are condent that you can achieve success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is a ne time to
move forward with a professional change that youve
been contemplating. A minor windfall or a surprising
reimbursement or gift can be expected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Excessive personal,
nancial or emotional upheavals need to be avoided.
Practice patience and learn to take gradual steps that
will lead to a steady and positive future.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Create an
opportunity to prove your value. You have the
knowledge and personality to be successful, but
your talents will go undiscovered if you dont display
what you have to offer.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep your creative ideas
under wraps. Its likely that you will nd a market for
your innovations, but this is not the right time to say
goodbye to your current employer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Love and romance will
be at the top of your list. Sharing your feelings and
dreams with someone special will strengthen your
bonds and give you insight into what the future holds.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Residential changes
are imminent. Get started redecorating or renovating.
Legal and real estate issues will come to a favorable
conclusion. Make your next move with condence.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are in a high
creative cycle. You will be able to make the most
of every situation if you let your intuition guide you.
Complete your plans.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) All work and no play is
unhealthy and unnecessary. Prepare something that
you can do with your peers, colleagues, friends or
family in order to reduce your stress level and build
closer relationships.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Stay on equal terms in
a personal relationship. If you are constantly making
concessions just to please someone, its time to start a
dialogue and share your grievances. Ease your mind by
voicing your concerns.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Leo W. Hess. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by George
James Allen and Ellen B. Haas in the Su-
perior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that George James Allen and Ellen B.
Haas be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the descedants will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
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: October 14, 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
203 Public Notices
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Luck, instinct determined
fates of volcano hikers
TOKYO Huge boulders falling from the
sky. Billowing gray smoke that cast total
darkness over the mountain. Volcanic ash
piling on the ground and fumes lling the air.
Some survivors of the eruption of Mount
Ontake made a split-second decision to hide
behind big rocks or escaped into lodges that
dot the mountains slopes. Outdoors, other
hikers fell, hit by rocks or possibly suffocat-
ed by gases, and quickly buried in ash. At
least 36 people were killed in Saturdays sur-
prise eruption.
For survivors such as mountain guide
Sayuri Ogawa, it was a near-death experience.
The experience she recalled on Tuesday and
the accounts of others suggest that luck and
instinct made the difference between life and
death for the hikers who were in harms way.
Despite its impressive plume, the eruption
was not a major one with lava ow. Yet, it
proved deadly, because so many people were
at the summit on a perfect day to enjoy hik-
ing and the autumn leaves.
Israel, Palestinians part
ways in dueling speeches
JERUSALEM In a pair of ery speeches
at the United Nations, the Israeli and
Palestinian leaders appear to have abandoned
any hope of reviving peace talks and instead
seem intent on pressing forward with sepa-
rate diplomatic initiatives that all but ignore
each other.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu called for an alliance with moder-
ate Arab countries against radical Islam,
while Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas, after accusing Israel of genocide,
plans on appealing to the U.N. Security
Council to endorse Palestinian independ-
ence.
Both plans offer novel attempts at break-
ing months of deadlock. Yet both appear
doomed to fail.

HONG KONG Hong Kongs leader
refused to meet with pro-democracy demon-
strators by their midnight deadline Tuesday,
despite their threats to expand the street
protests that have posed the stiffest chal-
lenge to Beijings authority since China
took control of the former British colony in
1997.
With tens of thousands of people clog-
ging the streets of the Asian nancial cen-
ter, protesters counted down to midnight
and cheered as the deadline passed.
Some then began crowding into areas near
the citys waterfront Bauhinia Square, where
they expected Hong Kong Chief Executive
Leung Chun-ying to attend a ag-raising
early Wednesday in honor of National Day,
the anniversary of the founding of commu-
nist China in 1949.
British Prime Minister David Cameron,
meanwhile, said he planned to summon the
Chinese ambassador to discuss the dispute,
saying it is essential that Hong Kongs peo-
ple have a genuine right to choose their top
leader.
China took control of Hong Kong under
an arrangement that guaranteed its 7 million
people semi-autonomy, Western-style civil
liberties and eventual democratic freedoms
that are denied to Chinese living on the
communist-ruled mainland.
The protesters want a reversal of a
recent decision by Chinas government
to screen all candidates in the territorys
first direct elections, scheduled for 2017
a move they view as reneging on a
promise that the chief executive will be
chosen through universal suffrage.
It is not for us to involve ourselves in
every dot and comma of what the Chinese
set out, Cameron said in England. But he
added: I think it is a critical question. Real
universal suffrage doesnt just mean the act
of voting; it means a proper choice.
Hong Kong leader refuses to meet with protesters

BEIJING Chinas government has
cut off news about Hong Kongs pro-
democracy protests to the rest of the
country, a clampdown so thorough that
no image of the rallies has appeared in
state-controlled media, and at least one
man has been detained for reposting
accounts of the events.
By contrast, media in semiautonomous
Hong Kong have been broadcasting non-
stop about the crowds, showing unarmed
students fending off tear gas and pepper
spray with umbrellas as they call for
more representative democracy in the
former British colony.
The contrast highlights the differences
in the one country, two systems
arrangement that Chinas Communist
Party agreed to when it negotiated the
1997 return of Hong Kong.
It also reflects Beijings extreme sensi-
tivity about any possible sparks of pro-
democracy protest spreading to the main-
land.
The authorities see this as a matter of
life and death, said Shanghai-based
columnist and independent analyst Zhao
Chu. They dont see it as a local affair
but a fuse that can take down their
world.
