Poll:Voter
focus on
economy
By Jennifer Agiesta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Its not Obamacare or climate change.
Its not yet terrorism or fear of the Islamic State group.
Those issues are on the minds of voters as they begin cast-
ing ballots in this years midterm elections, but nothing
matters to American voters as much the economy.
In a new Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday, 9
in 10 of those most likely to go to the polls or mail in a bal-

extremely or very important issue.

New Mexico hopes
singing road curbs speeding
TIJERAS, N.M. New Mexico
transportation ofcials are hoping a
singing road along historic Route 66
will curb speeding.
Tigress Productions is creating the
road between Albuquerque and the
mountain community of Tijeras for a
new National Geographic Channel
series dubbed Crowd Control that
will debut in November.
The road uses a series of rumble strips
to create music. The driver will hear the
tune as long as the speed limit is
obeyed.
There are only a few such singing
roads in the world.
Aside from getting drivers to slow
down, state Transportation Secretary
Tom Church says the rumble strips will
keep drowsy drivers from falling asleep
at the wheel.
He says the goal of the experiment is
to change driver behavior in a fun way
by giving them a reward for obeying
the speed limit.
Oregon cops: Suspect
drove fast, had strong smell
LEBANON, Ore. Ofcers in west-
ern Oregon say a suspect they tried to
collar at a trafc stop drove too fast for
pursuing ofcers, but eventually he was
just too fragrant.
The Albany Democrat-Herald reports
that the driver gave ofcers in Linn
County the slip in a high-speed chase
before dawn Sunday, doing better than
100 mph in a red Honda Prelude whose
hood ew off.
But Lebanon police later saw the car
parked and launched a search by foot.
Thats when ofcers caught a strong
scent of cologne in the darkness and
soon found their suspect hiding in
shrubbery.
Thirty-five-year-old Charles V.
Agosto was jailed on charges including
probation violation and trying to elude
ofcers. Ofcers said he told them he
regretted using the cologne.
There was no immediate indication
he had a lawyer.
Reports: China
body-searched 10,000 pigeons
BEIJING The 10,000 doves
released in a ceremony Wednesday for
Chinas National Day underwent unusu-
al scrutiny, each having its feathers and
anus checked for dangerous materials,
state-run media reports said, reecting
government jitters over possible
attacks.
The symbols of peace were released at
sunrise in Beijings symbolic heart of
Tiananmen Square in a ceremony for the
Oct. 1 holiday to celebrate the 65th
anniversary of the founding of the
Peoples Republic of China.
Beijing domestic security police of-
cer Guo Chunwei was quoted in the
Jinghua Times as saying workers
checked the wings, legs and anus of
each pigeon ahead of time to ensure
they were not carrying suspicious
material. The entire process was
videotaped, and the birds were then
loaded into sealed vehicles for the trip
to Tiananmen Square, the newspaper
said.
A similar report appeared in the
Beijing News, and the Peoples Daily
tweeted about it in English: 10,000
pigeons go through anal security check
for suspicious objects Tue, ready to be
released on National Day on Wed.
The reports which did not say what
the suspicious materials might be
drew amused and derisive responses
from some Chinese readers, and many
news sites, including the Beijing News
website, later deleted the reports.
However, the Jinghua Times report and
the Peoples Daily tweet were still visi-
ble as of midday Wednesday.
Members of the Chinese public
responded with sarcasm because they
see in the pigeon body searches their
own plight in what they consider an
oppressive society with tight surveil-
lance, censorship and judicial injus-
tice, independent columnist Zhang
Ping said in an editorial that was circu-
lated on social media under his pen
name, Changping.
The liberty and dignity of citizens
are increasingly vulnerable, and can be
expropriated at any time, like with the
pigeons, Zhang wrote.

assaulted an underage victim multiple
times over the last two years during sleep-
over parties at his South San Francisco

Heat advisory issued
for Thursday and Friday
Forecasted temperatures approaching
100 degrees in the Bay Area on Thursday
and Friday have prompted the National
Weather Service to issue a heat advisory
for the region.
The advisory for the San Francisco Bay
and Monterey Bay areas takes effect
Thursday at about noon and lasts until
Friday evening but may be extended into
Saturday.
Temperatures are expected to be highest
on Friday, with coastal areas climbing to
the mid- to high-80s and potentially
reaching the mid-90s in Santa Cruz, weath-
er service forecasters said.
Inland areas are expected to get even hot-
ter, with temperatures in cities like
Concord, Livermore and San Jose expected
to approach 100 degrees Friday afternoon.
Thursdays temperatures are expected to
reach the mid-80s in coastal areas and the
mid-90s in inland areas. Saturday is
expected to see some cooling, with tem-
peratures similar to Thursdays .
The hot weather, dry air and light winds
could pose a potential fire danger, fore-
casters said.
Email scammer tries to
access victims bank account
A South San Francisco resident nearly
became the victim of an email scammer
who tried to gain access to his bank
account Tuesday, police said.
The victim received an email claiming to
be from South African Attorney Peter
Lawrence that said the victim had inherit-
ed $7.5 million from someone named
Allen Cooper in South Africa, South San
Francisco police said.
The victim replied to the email with his
contact information and the scammer
called him and told him he would need to
pay a small amount of money for probate
fees, police said.
The scammer also told the victim he
would need to provide his bank account
numbers in order to transfer the money
into his account, police said.
The victim refused to provide his bank
information after the scammer became
angry and demanding when he hesitated,
according to police.
The victim reported the incident to
police. Had he provided his bank account
information, the scammer would likely
have been able to access and drain his
account, police said.
Police advise residents never to give
personal information, bank account infor-
mation or send money in response to sim-
ilar emails. If anyone ever calls demanding
money from cash cards, residents should
contact their local police departments.

The San Mateo County Transit District
Board of Directors Wednesday voted to select
First Transit, Inc. as the new $42.9 million
ve-year paratransit service provider for the
Redi-Wheels program, the transit agency
announced.
Redi-Wheels provides paratransit services
to customers with disabilities who cannot
independently use SamTrans bus service. The
ve-year base contract includes ve one-year
options at an additional cost, according to
the agency.
For the past 10 years, the districts para-
transit services have been provided by MV
Transportation Inc.
Both MV and First Transit submitted bids
for the new contract. The proposals were
considered based on a broad mix of criteria
that included experience and technical
skills, staff and training, operating plans
and cost, according to the transit agency.
The two transportation providers were
brought in for panel interviews before a nal
determination was made. The panel included
representatives from SamTrans Accessible
Services and Bus Contracts Administration
and the San Mateo County Paratransit
Coordinating Council, a citizens panel that
advises SamTrans on its Redi-Wheels serv-
ice, according to the transit agency.
First Transit has committed to recognizing
Amalgamated Transit Union 1574 as the bar-
gaining unit for the employees who work on
the Redi-Wheels contract and to retaining all
qualied employees working under the previ-
ous contract who wish to continue their serv-
ice to Redi-Wheels customers, according to

A house under construction outside of Boulder, Colo.
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. construction
spending fell in August, the second decline
in the past three months, with housing,
non-residential and government projects all
showing weakness.
Construction spending dropped a season-
ally adjusted 0.8 percent after a 1.2 percent
increase in July, the Commerce Department
reported Wednesday. The July increase fol-
lowed a 1.6 percent June decline.
The weakness was apparent in all sectors.
Housing construction declined 0.1 percent,
reecting a big drop in spending on remod-
eling. Non-residential construction fell 1.4
percent while spending on government
projects dropped 0.9 percent.
In addition to the August decline, the gov-
ernment revised lower its estimates for
activity in the previous two months. While
this could call into question expectations
that building activity will support econom-
ic growth in the second half of the year,
economists at Barclays said they were leav-
ing their forecast for third quarter growth
unchanged at 3 percent.
Barclays economist Michael Grapen said
while the report signaled a softer start to the
third quarter, he was still encouraged with
gains shown in single-family and apartment
construction.
Overall construction spending totaled
$960.96 billion at a seasonally adjusted
annual rate in August, 5 percent higher than
a year ago.
Judge: Stockton must
treat pension like other debt
SACRAMENTO Striking at the sanctity
of public pensions in California, a federal
judge ruled Wednesday that U.S. bankruptcy
law allows the city of Stockton to treat pen-
sion fund obligations like other debts,
meaning the city could trim benet s.
Stockton argued that it must make its pen-
sion contributions for public employees
before its creditors are paid the entire
amount they are owned.
The case is being closely watched because
it could help clarify who gets paid rst by
nancially strapped cities around the nation
retirement funds or creditors.
The ruling was prompted by a key credi-
tors contention that pension obligations
should be treated like other debts. Franklin
Templeton Investments said the pension
payments are fair game as it tries to collect
on an unsecured $32.5 million claim
against the city.

criminated against those morally opposed
to abortion and requests an investigation.
The complaint is under review, said
Rachel Seeger, spokeswoman for the fed-

er layover of nearly three hours, he then ew
Flight 822 from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, the airline conrmed.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Duncan sought
medical care Sept. 25 in Dallas after falling
ill the day before.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the
National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious
Disease at the National Institutes of Health,
told the Associated Press that even though
Duncan took several ights to reach the
U.S., his lack of symptoms at the time made
it extraordinarily unlikely that he infected
anyone else on the planes.
Still, the incident spooked airline
investors. Shares of United and other lead-
ing U.S. airline companies dropped 2.8 per-
cent or more. Shares of European carriers
fell by similar margins.
The fear is if this gets worse, it would
affect peoples travel behavior, said
Joseph DeNardi, an analyst with Stifel,
Nicolaus & Co. Health ofcials sound con-
dent that theyve got it under control.
Hopefully theyre right.
The CDC typically notifies an airline
when it learns that an infectious person
traveled on that carrier. The airline then
turns over the ight manifest to the CDC,
and health ofcials notify other passengers
while the airline deals with crew members.
In this case, the CDC told United but not
the public what ights the man took. In an
interview Wednesday with the AP, Dr.
Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, sug-
gested that doing so would divert public-
health resources away from controlling an
outbreak of the virus. He said the CDC was
focused on nding and tracking anyone who
came in contact with Duncan after he began
showing symptoms.

Q: Wheredidthetraveler comefrom?
A: Liberia,thehardest-hit countryintheWest Africanepidemic.
The patient left Africa on Sept. 19 and ew to Brussels, then to
the Washington area and arrived the next day at the Dallas-
Fort Worth International Airport for a visit.
Q: Whendidthepatient get sick?
A: Last Wednesday.Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said he
initially sought care late last Thursday night for fever and
abdominal pain. He told a nurse he traveled from Africa but
that information wasnt passed along,and he was released.He
returned Sunday by ambulance and admitted under strict
isolation.Tests conrmed Ebola on Tuesday.
Q: Howdoes Ebolaspread?
A: Onlythroughclosecontact withthebodilyuidsof someone

arent contagious until symptoms begin. And Ebola cannot
spread through the air.
Q: Howis Eboladiagnosed?
A: Someof thesymptomsof Ebolaaresimilar toother ailments;
a blood test is done to conrm an infection.Frieden explained
that tests done early may miss the virus.Even in the initial
phases of illness, when theyve got a fever, the most sensitive
tests in the world dont detect it because theres so little virus,
he said.
Q: Sowhosat risk?
A: Ofcialsaremonitoring12to18peoplewhomayhavebeen

transmission and thats where our focus has to be, Frieden
said.
Q: CouldEbolahavespreadontheairplane?
A:No,Frieden said,because the man wasnt sick then.The CDC
said there is no need to monitor anyone else on those ights

Q: Couldtherebemoretravelers withEbola?
A:Noonesrulingit out.Peopleboardingplanesintheoutbreak

infected person wont get through. Airlines are required to
report any deaths on a ight or ill travelers meeting certain
criteria to the CDC before arriving in the U.S. If a traveler is
infectious or exhibiting symptoms during or after a ight, the
CDC will conduct an investigation of exposed travelers and
take any necessary public health action.

Q&A about the U.S. Ebola case
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON Same-sex couples in 11
more states would win the right to marry,
but the issue would remain unsettled nation-
wide if the Supreme Court were to surprise
everyone and decline to take up gay mar-
riage right now.
A decision by the justices to reject calls
from all quarters to take up same-sex mar-
riage would lead to gay and lesbian unions
in 30 states and the District of Columbia, up
from 19 states.
Couples in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah,
Virginia and Wisconsin could begin getting
married almost immediately. Rulings in
their favor have been put on hold while the
Supreme Court considers their cases.
And if the high court leaves those rulings
in place, same-sex couples almost certainly
would win the right to marry in six other
states in short order because those states
Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, South
Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming
would be bound by the same appeals court
decisions.
But rejection of pending appeals by the
Supreme Court would leave untouched the
laws in the other 20 states that still enforce
same-sex marriage bans.
This affects peoples lives. Literally,
people are dying before they can get mar-
ried, said James Esseks, a gay rights expert
with the American Civil Liberties Union.
That is one reason that almost everyone
who follows the issue for a living or other-
wise thinks the Supreme Court will step in
and decide gay marriage cases this term. The
cases were on the agenda when the justices
met in private Monday to decide new cases
to hear this term. The court could announce
a decision as early as this week.
Both sides in the dispute also say the jus-
tices have an obligation to settle an issue of
such national importance, not abdicate that
responsibility to lower court judges. Opting
out of hearing the cases would leave those
lower court rulings in place.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to
be addressing that concern when she said in
July that the court would not duck the issue,
as it did for years with bans on interracial
marriage.
High court weighs same-sex marriage cases

WASHINGTON Secret Service Director
Julia Pierson abruptly resigned Wednesday in
the face of multiple revelations of security
breaches, bumbling in her agency and rapidly
eroding condence that the president and his
family were being kept safe.
President Barack Obama concluded new
leadership of that agency was required, said
spokesman Josh Earnest.
High-ranking lawmakers from both parties
had urged her to step down after her poorly
received testimony to Congress a day earlier
and revelation of yet another security
problem: Obama had shared an elevator in
Atlanta last month with an armed guard who
was not authorized to be around him.
That appeared to be the last straw that crum-
bled trust in her leadership in the White
House. Earnest said Obama and his staff did
not learn about that breach until just before it
was made public in news reports Tuesday.
Today Julia Pierson, the director of the
United States Secret Service, offered her resig-
nation, and I accepted it, Homeland Security
Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement. He
announced that Joseph Clancy, retired head of
the agencys Presidential Protective
Division, would come out of retirement to
lead the Secret Service temporarily.
Taking further steps to restore trust in the
beleaguered agency, Johnson also outlined an
independent inquiry into the agencys opera-
tions.
That trust was shaken by a series of failures
in the agencys critical job of protecting the
president, including a breach Sept. 19, when a
knife-carrying man climbed over the White
House fence on Pennsylvania Avenue and
made it deep into the executive mansion
before being stopped.
Republicans quickly served notice that
Piersons resignation and the inquiry ordered
by Johnson would not end their investiga-
tion.
The Oversight Committee will continue to
examine clear and serious agency failures at
the Secret Service, said the panels chair-
man, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas escalating military campaign in
Iraq and Syria has drowned out the econom-
ic pitch he hoped would help salvage a
midterm election that has been favoring
Republicans. But the airstrikes against
Islamic State extremists have also intro-
duced a new complicating factor into the fall
campaign, forcing both sides to reassess
their closing political messages.
Obama is drawing new attention to the
nations recovery from the Great Recession
with a speech Thursday at Northwestern
University, linking U.S. stature abroad to
economic strength at home. It is a delicate
argument for a president whose handling of
pocketbook issues remains unpopular and
who acknowledges many have not beneted
from the upturn.
Senior administration ofcials insist that
unlike George W. Bush in 2002, Obama
does not plan to make national security and
the threat of Middle East extremism the cen-
terpiece of his message for the homestretch
of the fall campaign. Yet they acknowledge
the matter will be impossible for Obama and
Democrats to ignore.
Youd like to be able to be talking about
the economy in September, but this is a
really important piece of business for the
president of the United States to do, said
Jennifer Palmieri, the White House commu-
nications director.
Obama seeks traction on economy amid foreign tests
es that may not thrill everybody, but at least
please people, Penrose said.
Don Prestosz, a retired high school
teacher, said his education in nance and
public administration could help manage
city funds. He also wants to address water use
through implementing wastewater irrigation
programs.
Finance is a big issue for me. I think were
spending money not wisely, Prestosz said.
I think [the council] micromanages some-
times. I see the City Council as a policy-
making body and the city staff should be car-
rying it out every day.
Harvey Rarback, director on the Coastside
Fire Protection District board, said he saved
taxpayers millions of dollars by contracting
with the California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, and wants to
use his experience in a more inuential posi-
tion.
Im doing something I think is more
important, and that is to change the direction
of City Council because, among other
things, theyre very wasteful of our money,
and thats taxpayer money, Rarback said.
Deborah Ruddock, who served on the coun-
cil from 1992 to 2003, said elected ofcials
have a duty to follow governmental proce-
dures, be more attentive to the public and
produce a transparent budget.
Im concerned about an approach to run-
ning the city, an attitude if you will, that I
have found not to be as thoughtful as it
should, to be dismissive of concerns and the
decision-making process insular, Ruddock
said.
David Eblovi, a ve-year Half Moon Bay
resident, opted not to participate in the Daily
Journal endorsement interview process.
Alifano said the city needs representatives
that care about the coast and will make deci-
sions aimed to heal the division among the
community.
The reason I ran [previously] was to try to
ensure that responsible people were making
the right decisions for our community and
the same things holds true to today, Alifano
said. You cant run for city ofce if you have
a personal agenda, ... thats not fair to the
city.
Alifano and Kowalczyk said they helped
restore the citys nances and have projects
theyd like to see through.
I want to nish what we started. We turned
the city around from near nancial insolven-
cy to solid footing again, Kowalczyk said.
Kowalczyk said he wants to continue plans
to renovate parks and construct a new library.
Kowalczyk added hes concerned the citys
Latino population feels disenfranchised and
hell promote efforts to unite the diverse
constituency.
Recovering from
the Main Street Bridge
Following the June election when voters
opted to regain control on whether to replace
or repair the 100-year-old bridge leading into
downtown by approving Measure F, all of the
candidates agreed planning should have pro-
ceeded differently.
When part of the community became
adamant about preservation, the council
should have taken a step back, Alifano said.
Its one of those difcult things where as
youre civic leaders, you think youre going
down the right path and before you know it,
it becomes a cause. And its hard sometimes
when you get all this push back to say OK,
youre right. Were going to rethink this.
And thats what really should have hap-
pened, Alifano said.
Alifano and Kowalczyk stressed the coun-
cil acted with good intentions in considering
safety, funding and the advice of engineers.
When youre an elected ofcial, you have
to make a decision based on the data in front
of you ... and its difcult with high emo-
tions, Kowalczyk said. I think I also under-
estimated the value of the bridge to the com-
munity. They made that clear and I accept
that.
Penrose said she supported Measure F but
stayed out of the controversy. Now, its time
to evaluate the bridge and hopefully nd a
way to avoid disrupting Main Street busi-
nesses, Penrose said.
Prestosz said safety is top priority and he
voted against the citys and the citizens bal-
lot measures since neither side was fully
informed without proper testing.
It might be historic, but its old. Anyway
we do it, whether we x the bridge or build a
new one, we have to do it for future genera-
tions, Prestosz said.
Rarback and Ruddock said the city failed to
follow laws that govern historic structures
and wasted money by not testing the bridge
rst.
They should have asked for a forensic
analysis on whats wrong with the bridge,
Rarback said. Then, based on that analysis,
they should have decided the best way to
repair the bridge with the least impact on the
community.
Ruddock said shed like to see a peer review
committee oversee an independent evalua-
tion.
I think the way the bridge was handled
was somewhat emblematic of the councils
not listening to the public, Ruddock said.
Its also emblematic of the citys failure to
actually maintain its infrastructure.
Balancing growth and traffic
Ruddock said the city needs a comprehen-
sive approach to growth and trafc that
includes better intersections, synchronized
trafc signals, extended turn lanes and park-
ing lots from which visitors can take shut-
tles. Ruddock expressed concern over widen-
ing roads as accommodating more cars wont
reduce congestion.
Rarback agreed more roads is not the
answer and suggested communicating with
SamTrans for more frequent bus schedules and
possibly prohibiting people from crossing
State Route 92 near Lemos and Pastorino
farms where trafc congests on the week-
ends.
Prestosz said the state, county and city
need to be engaged and proposed better turn
lanes or crossings at Surfers Beach and Sams
Chowder House on Highway 1.
Penrose said more parking lots and shuttle
service could help during the weekend and the
citizens need to be involved.
Penrose, Rarback, Kowalczyk and Alifano
said working with the school district to rein-
state bus services would help by getting par-
ents off the road.
Kowalczyk and Alifano said its critical
the city coordinate with outside transit
agencies and participate in studies, as the
city must support tourism.
Kowalczyk suggested implementing
strategic turn lanes into neighborhoods as
well as promoting public transit in town and
for commuters.
Alifano said extending merge lanes would
address areas that bottleneck during trafc
times, such as near nurseries, pumpkin
patches and entertainment facilities on State
Route 92.
Continuing to improve
Alifano said the citys nances and credit
score have improved. The council must con-
tinue to balance hiring qualied staff versus
contracting when appropriate. The city must
encourage the formation of new businesses
and focus on sustainability such as using
recycled water for golf courses, he added.
After the death of Yanira Serrano, who was
shot by a sheriffs deputy in June,
Kowalczyk said he heard concerns from com-
munity members and plans to engage the
Latino constituency through an advisory
council and consider hiring an outreach coor-
dinator. Kowalczyk said he also wants to
solidify projects like improvements to Mac
Dutra Park, construct a new skate park and
build a new library.
Ruddock said shed like to diversify the
citys housing stock with apartments and
more affordable units, possibly downtown,
as well as ease property owners ability to
expand their homes.
Penrose agreed, adding the citys building
and permitting process is laborious. Both
said encouraging local businesses to move to
Half Moon Bay is also vital.
Penrose, Rarback and Ruddock shared frus-
tration about the city saddling property own-
ers with sidewalk liability and failing to ade-
quately communicate the new law to the pub-
lic. All stressed the need for a council thats
responsive to the community.
With the city working on updating its
General Plan and Local Coastal Program,
Rarback said the November election will
have a lasting effect.
Thats in the tenure of the City Council,
Rarback said. Thats going to inuence
what Half Moon Bay is going to look like in
25 years and its really important we head in
the right direction.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Orange County Register
G
ov. Jerry Brown signed legisla-
tion last week prohibiting the
sterilization of state prisoners
without their consent. In a reection of the
sorry state of Californias prison system,
prison health providers have sterilized
dozens of female inmates without consent.
It is a disgrace that the reproductive abili-
ties of these women were taken from them
due to the negligence of government enti-
ties that are supposed to know what theyre
doing.
The legislation was prompted by allega-
tions of nonconsensual sterilizations rst
raised by the nonprot Center for
Investigative Reporting.
Next came a June 2014 state audit report,
which concluded that, during the scal
years 2005-06 and 2012-13, approximate-
ly 144 female inmates were sterilized. Of
them, auditors found that 39 were improp-
erly sterilized without lawfully providing
consent. In 19 cases, neither the
California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation nor the California
Correctional Health Care Services ensured
that the informed consequent requirements
were followed ... in which their employees
obtained inmates consent.
The auditors noted that the true number
of inmates improperly sterilized may be
higher. The auditors noted that one hospi-
tal had destroyed records pursuant to its
records retention policy.
It is troubling that, despite the layers of
bureaucracy overseeing the state prisons,
so many women have been wrongly
deprived of the ability to have children. In
addition to the state corrections depart-
ment, the federal government has appoint-
ed an expert to oversee and direct reforms
in how medical care is delivered in the state
prison system.
The federal intervention followed years
of lawsuits culminating in a nding that
medical care in the crowded prison system
failed to meet constitutional standards.
The consistent failure of government
employees to ensure that women consented
to a life-changing procedure hopefully will
be corrected by the new state legislation.
However, in the bigger picture, it is clear
that the state of California must look for
ways to ensure that correctional health
services arent so bureaucratized that they
hinder, rather than facilitate, proper health
services.
Reply to Measure N
San Bruno endorsement
Editor,
I am the primary author of the argument
against Measure N of San Bruno. I
thought the Daily Journal endorsement
supporting Measure N brought up a lot of
fair points; I just wanted to contribute
some additional thoughts I think were
missed.
Measure N to amend Ordinance 1284 is
not an absolute requirement to have
height restrictions lifted I am of the
understanding that a waiver was granted to
the condominium development across the
street from the Shops at Tanforan. What
Measure N does undoubtedly is relax and
speed up the Planning Commission
process for those targeted areas without a
waiver necessary for better or worse,
depending on your perspective of the
issue.
The Plan San Bruno packages include
revenue enhancement options that will
undoubtedly be considered once Measure
N is approved, which includes considera-
tions for special assessment districts,
various taxes and other strategies that
will pay for the downtown San Bruno
improvements.
Certainly, as the endorsement states,
nothing is guaranteed I just present
food for thought for the residents of San
Bruno. I still stand behind my argument
against the measure and feel if height
restrictions were the issue, Ordinance
1284 should be repealed. The ordinance
was the issue that limited San Brunos
growth in the first place. The Planning
Commission still can exert significant
influence in development regardless of
the ordinance in place.
Thank you San Mateo Daily Journal for
considering both sides of the proposal.
Its up to San Bruno residents to decide
now.

Victim of judicial overreaching
Editor,
The court decision pertaining to the road
to Martins Beach abundantly demon-
strates a total lack of law understanding
(Judge rules for beach access in the Sept.
25 edition of the Daily Journal).
If a man erects a gate on his property to
keep villains, strangers or the public from
disturbing his peace, that is his lawful
right under any law. The court decided, that
if a property owner fails to ask permission
to erect a gate from a government agency,
he or she loses the right to keep the vil-
lains, strangers and/or public from using
or crossing his property.
This decision is absurd. San Mateo
County citizens should be irate. From the
beginning, the envious plaintiffs have
demonized Mr. Khosla, the innocent
property owner, by constantly referring
to his wealth. What if the property owner
happened to be a poor dirt farmer who
felt that the beach crowd was interfering
with his desire to live peacefully on his
property? Suppose this farmer was tired
of the hassle of collecting fees from
those who willingly paid to pass over his
property to reach a beach. The problems
of maintaining his private road for oth-
ers, the debris cleanup, providing rest-
rooms and the payment of premiums for
liability insurance to protect himself
from lawsuits are all good reasons for the
farmer to close this area with a gate.
Remember that this is a private road to
the beach. In this case, the property owner
needed no permission or excuse from any-
one to decide to close his property to the
public. If I were a property owner within
the coastal zone, I would be lost as to how
to protect myself from activists. Who
would ever think that one would be com-
pelled to ask the Coastal Commission for
permission to put up a gate? Or is this a
case, where for the rst time, a citizen
nds himself a victim of judicial over-
reaching?

Lets listen to Israel
Editor,
President Obama said to the United
Nations that too many Israelis are ready
to abandon peace. There are reasons to do
so.
Hamas controls Gaza. Hamas might take
control of the West Bank Palestinians by
election or by force, and Hamas are terror-
ists who want Israel destroyed.
The U.S. Department of State said
President Abbas speech to the United
Nations included offensive characteriza-
tion that were deeply disappointing and
which we reject. He once again showed
his hatred for Israel. Israel cannot approve
creating a Palestinian state with the pres-
ent Palestinian leaders; they can only
approve it if there are new peaceful leaders
in the future.
President Obama should better under-
stand Israel, now that he said ISIS is not a
state, and he has ordered the U.S. Air Force
to attack ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Out of order
U
sed to be the most eyebrow-rais-
ing thing at restaurants were the
alarming calorie counts posted
next to the menu items. But step aside
artery-clogging super-sized burgers, mys-
tery meat buried under secret sauce and
wonders of molecular gastronomy. There
are some new kids on the freaky food
block.
The rst newcomer might be legitimate-
ly marketed as health food. After all, the
pizza sauce from Podey Pizza is labeled
contains med-
ical cannabis.
Thats right.
Have your
weed and your
munchies all
in one with
this $20 jar
now available
at marijuana
dispensaries in
the United
States. Each
jar contains a
300 mg dose
enough for one large pizza and a
company employee was quoted in news
reports about the new edible as saying that
about three slices is good to be fully med-
icated. Gives new meaning to the term
pizza joint. And why not? Not every-
body likes brownies.
Over in China, one restaurateur upped
the drug ante by lacing his trademark noo-
dles with opium so that customers would
keep coming back for more. Guess that
beats that college trick of elevating ramen
by scrambling in an egg.
After a customer tested positive for the
drug during a trafc stop, the shop owner
nally admitted how he got his supposed
edge. He had been grinding poppy buds in
the food to make it criminally good.
Unfortunately for him and maybe his
customers his plan actually failed
because tests showed that the quantity used
was not enough to be habit forming.
Other chefs are spicing up their dish not
with drugs but with a hefty dose of sex
appeal. Or, rather what they might think is
sexy but is in actuality a turnoff. How else
do you describe a recipe book entitled
Condom Meals I Want to Make For You.
Thats right. The chef author uses actual
contraceptives as cooking devices to cre-
ate such delicacies as and I quote
condom snails cooked with butter, condom
cookies and condom meat stufng.
Whos hungry now?
The chef says the book promotes safe
sex and demonstrates condoms durabili-
t y. Just leave a few for after the meal.
Over in Copenhagen, a burger restaurant
is selling adult toys and products along-
side its food. What else can you expect
from a place called Hot Buns? From the
description of hot pants-clad waitresses,
the restaurant sound like the Danish equiv-
alent of Hooters so it isnt all that surpris-
ing to hear it is putting the two vices
together. Its not exactly El Bulli were
talking about.
The owner says on Friday and Saturday
nights those are the only two things peo-
ple want. Probably true. But still does any-
one really want the same spud technician
grabbing ones food to also be picking out
the right adult gizmo?
Of course, they could be on to some-
thing. The best toy one can hope for here
stateside is some sort of Frozen-themed
gadget tucked in a Happy Meal. Maybe the
American restaurant industry should stop
being so prudish. After all, theres already
a fast food chain with an appropriate name
for such a saucy tie-in: In-and-Out.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Financial markets
got off to a rough start in October as
disappointing economic news and
Ebola fears drove stocks lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slumped more than 200 points
Wednesday, the rst day of trading in a
month known for big market swings.
Nervous investors shifted their money
to havens like bonds and gold.
At first U.S. stocks were driven
lower by word that German manufac-
turing had slowed last month. The
selling accelerated after a separate sur-
vey indicated U.S. manufacturing
slowed as well.
A lot of people thought this eco-
nomic data was going to be robust, so
when it was weak, everyone moved to
reposition, said Tom di Galoma, head
of rates and credit trading at ED&F
Man Capital.
Investors also were skittish follow-
ing news that the rst case of Ebola
had been diagnosed in the U.S. They
dumped airlines on concerns that trav-
el will decline and bought a handful of
drug companies working on experi-
mental treatments for the deadly dis-
ease.
The blue chip Dow index lost
238.19 points, or 1.4 percent, to
16, 804. 71. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 26.13 points, or 1.3
percent, to 1,946.16 and the Nasdaq
composite lost 71.30 points, or 1.6
percent, to 4,422.09.
The declines follow a weak perform-
ance in September, just the third
monthly loss for the stock market this
year. Geopolitical worries, a weaken-
ing European economy and the
prospect of higher interest rates have
weighed on stocks, even though cor-
porate earnings and the economic out-
look remain healthy in the U.S.
The report that set off most of the
selling in the U.S. was the Institute
for Supply Managements monthly
manufacturing survey, one of the more
closely watched economic indicators
that investors look for each month.
The ISM index came in at 56.6, below
the 58.5 economists expected.
In Germany, Markit reported that
manufacturing contracted in
September, the latest sign that Europe
is being affected by the economic
sanctions on Russia. It was the rst
slowdown in 15 months.
The report came a day before Naples,
Italy hosts the European Central
Banks latest policy meeting.
Investors will follow closely what
ECB President Mario Draghi says
about possible stimulus from the cen-
tral bank following recent weak eco-
nomic news in Europe.
In European markets, Germanys
DAX finished 1 percent lower,
Frances CAC 40 lost 1.2 percent and
the U.K.s FTSE 100 ended down 1
percent.
Were in a global economy these
days, and U.S. companies get a lot of
their revenue and earnings from out-
side the U.S., said Matthew Rubin,
director of investment strategy at
Neuberger Berman. Investors have
valid concerns that the European
slowdown could hit companies bot-
tom line.
Traders moved quickly into U.S.
government bonds. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note dropped to 2.39
percent from 2.49 percent late
Tuesday, a big move. Gold prices rose
$3.90, or 0.3 percent, to $1,215.50
an ounce.
Utility stocks, which investors
favor during times of volatility
because of their higher-than-average
dividends, were among the few that
rose Wednesday. The Dow Jones utili-
ty index, a collection of 15 utility
companies, increased 0.4 percent.
Investors are looking ahead to
Friday, when the U.S. government
will release the monthly job gures.
Economists are expecting that
employers added 215,000 workers last
month and no change in the unem-
ployment rate, which stands at 6.1
percent.
Stocks start October with a drop
Facebook apologizes
to drag queens for name policy
NEWYORK Facebook is apologizing to drag queens
and the transgender community for deleting accounts that
used drag names like Lil Miss Hot Mess rather than legal
names such as Bob Smith.
The worlds biggest online social network caught heat
recently when it deleted several hundred accounts belong-
ing to self-described drag queens, other performers and
members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community. Facebook has long required its users to go
by their real names on the site for security purposes, to
stand out from other social networks and so it can better
target advertising to people. Now, the company says the
spirit of its policy doesnt mean a persons legal name
but the authentic name they use in real life.
For Sister Roma, thats Sister Roma. For Lil Miss Hot
Mess, thats Lil Miss Hot Mess, Chris Cox, Facebooks
vice president of product wrote in a blog post Wednesday.
General Mills plans to cut about 700 to 800 jobs
NEW YORK General Mills plans to cut approxi-
mately 700 to 800 jobs, the second time its trimmed its
work force in a month, as the food company adjusts for a
shift by U.S. consumers away from boxed or frozen
meals.
The Minneapolis company that owns Betty Crocker
and Green Giant brands said in a regulatory ling that the
job cuts will take place mostly in the U.S. It expects
about $135 million to $160 million in restructuring
charges and foresees annual cost savings of approxi-
mately $125 million to $150 million, starting in scal
2016.
General Mills Inc. anticipates the current restructuring
to be completed by scal 2015s end.
Business briefs

and Tom Krisher
DETROIT Big discounts on pickup
trucks kept U.S. auto sales strong in
September.
General Motors Co. and Chrysler
Group led the industry with 19-percent
sales increases over last September.
Toyota sales rose 2 percent; Ford and
Volkswagen were down.
U.S. sales rose 9 percent to 1.2 mil-
lion cars and trucks, according to
Autodata Corp. The sales pace slowed
after a blistering August, which was the
best month for the industry in eight
years. But Septembers annualized pace
of 16.4 million vehicles down from
17.5 million in August is closer to
what analysts are predicting for the full
year.
While August was fueled by Labor
Day promotions and incentives on mid-
size cars, September saw good deals on
pickup trucks. Chevrolet was advertis-
ing up to $8,500 off the price of a crew
cab Silverado with a trade-in, while
Chryslers Ram was offering zero-per-
cent interest.
The second half of the year is usually
stronger for pickup sales, and stable
gas prices, employment gains and
higher consumer condence have more
people shopping for trucks, automak-
ers said.
But GM and Chrysler were also hop-
ing to take advantage of Ford, which
has temporarily closed a truck factory
to retool for its new aluminum-clad F-
150. Ford cut back on discounts in order
to keep more trucks in stock during the
shutdown. As a result, GM said its light-
duty Silverado outsold Fords F-150 for
the rst month since 2011, and for only
the second time in the last ve years.
Pickup truck owners are the most
loyal in the industry, but they also have
come to expect big discounts, said
Larry Dominique, president of the ALG
auto forecasting rm. Full-size truck
buyers may spend their entire annual
income on a truck, Dominique said, so
theyre sensitive to price.
Truck deals boost September U.S. auto sales
By Tom Krisher
MILFORD, Mich. General Motors
CEO Mary Barra told investors
Wednesday that GM plans a raft of new
models and a big push to sell more cars
in China to drive prots in coming
years, as the biggest U.S. automaker
tries to shift the spotlight from a mis-
handled recall of older small cars.
Barra needed to reassure investors
that GM has a strong plan going for-
ward. The stock has dropped about 18
percent this year. It rose 1.7 percent in
afternoon trading.
GM recalled 2.6 million small cars
worldwide earlier this year to x faulty
ignition switches that are now blamed
for at least 23 deaths nationwide. Barra
said suppliers have built all the
replacement switches, but only about
1.2 million small cars have had the
repairs so far.
GM has admitted knowing about
the problem for a decade, but only
recalled the cars this year. The
switches can cause the engine to
stall, deactivating the air bags.
Barra said GM still expects to pay
out $400 million to $600 million to
compensate ignition switch crash vic-
tims. The company has hired compen-
sation expert Kenneth Feinberg to pay
victims. He made his rst offers last
week.
The plan Barra outlined Wednesday
emphasizes growth in China. GM
plans to invest $14 billion through
2018, including five new assembly
plants to support estimated sales of
about 5 million per year.

As Notre Dame-Belmont hitter Katie
Smoot set up for an attack, Tigers coach
Jennifer Agresti calmly told her, Hit it.
Smoot swung through the ball, sent is
screaming toward a Presentation defender
who dug it up, but sent it sailing out of
bounds.
And just like that, Notre Dame-Belmont
(1-0 WCAL, 12-0 overall) erased three years
of frustration as the Tigers beat the Panthers
in ve sets in the 2014 WCAL opener: 25-
18, 20-25, 20-25, 26-24, 15-11.
It is the Tigers first West Catholic
Athletic League win in three years. Their
last WCAL win came Oct. 6, 2012 a 3-2
decision over Valley Christian.
We worked so hard for this, said Notre
Dame senior Maggie McDonald, one of two
Tigers co-captains. We had to get this win
for us, for our coach, for Notre Dame-
Belmont, to give us some street cred.
The Tigers, however, were this close to
seeing their WCAL 15-match losing streak
extended as things started to fall apart for
them in Game 4. Down 2-1 in sets, Notre
Dame was trailing 16-11 and having a hard
time in all aspects of the game passing,
setting and hitting.
Our passing broke down and our setter
struggled, Agresti said.
The frustration began to show and Agresti
called timeout. The minute-long pep talk
paid off as the Tigers turned things around.
They went on an 8-2 run to tie the game at
19.
They eventually took a 22-20 lead before
Presentation pushed back, winning three of
the next four points to tie the game at 23
and when an attack by the Panthers fell
between a pair of Tiger defenders, the
Panthers were one point away from closing
out the match.

PITTSBURGH Brandon Crawford gured
the San Francisco Giants needed one run, maybe
two, the way ace Madison Bumgarner was deal-
ing.
A grand slam provided all that and more,
silencing a revved-up crowd and propelling San
Francisco into the meat of the playoffs.
Streaking in May and slumping in September,
the Giants are back to their old resilient selves
in October.
Hey, its what they do this time of year.
Crawfords slam off Edinson Volquez in the
fourth inning led the Giants to an 8-0 victory
over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National
League wild-card game Wednesday night, send-
ing San Francisco on to Washington for the
best-of-ve Division Series starting Friday.
We thrive in these situations, Crawford said.
I dont know what it is. We just keep ghting
no matter what the circumstance.
The Giants won their eighth consecutive
postseason game and seventh straight with their
season on the line, a streak that dates back to
their run to a World Series title in 2012. While
much work remains before they can start think-
ing about the franchises eighth championship,
there was certainly a familiar feeling at PNC
Park as San Francisco dismantled the Pirates.
Weve been through it before, a lot of this
team has, Brandon Belt said. We used that
experience tonight. We know when we get in
these situations were going to have a good ball-
club.
Particularly when Bumgarner is on the mound.
He tossed a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts, need-
ing 109 pitches to put a quick end to
Pittsburghs second straight playoff appear-
ance.
Mixing his fastball with a slider and curve the
Pirates rarely touched, Bumgarner was in com-
plete control and looked very much like the ace
who won 18 games during San Franciscos
bumpy regular season.

hen Sacred Heart Prep football
coach Pete Lavorato arrived in
Atherton to take over the foot-
ball program in 2003, the Gators were
hardly a juggernaut.
Heres what I thought: great school,
but I knew it would take some time (to
build a program), Lavorato said. The
kids were great, but the program itself
was what I would call a rec program.
Fast forward 12 years and the Gators are
now among the elite
in the Central Coast
Section.
As is Lavorato,
who picked up his
100th win with
Sacred Heart Prep
following a 35-21
win over Kings
Academy last
Saturday to improve
to 4-0 in 2014.
You wont, howev-

patting himself on the back.
I think its a testament to more than
me, its a testament to the kids who have
been through the school. All those
kids who have come through (the pro-
gram) have been a part of the process.
Its a testament to them, its a testament
to the coaching staff, Lavorato said.
Lavorato passed the 100-win plateau as
a coach years ago, as he has served as the
head man at Gilroy for three seasons
before spending 11 years coaching in
Canada as both a high school coach, as
well as college and pro assistant.
Anative Canadian, Lavorato spent 10

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith arrived in
San Francisco with the pressure of being the
No. 1 overall draft pick. He got called a draft
bust, then turned the tide to win back those
same fans who had booed him out of
Candlestick Park.
Smith got hurt, bounced back, started and
was benched, then regained his job and lost
it once more. All the while as he adjusted to
a new offensive coordinator and system
nearly every year.
Smith will be the rst
to say his up-and-down
tenure with the 49ers
hardly went how he
hoped when he left Utah
as the NFLs top choice in
2005. When he takes the
eld at Levis Stadium in
the other uniform Sunday
with Kansas City, there
will be mixed emotions
for everybody involved.
No bitterness at all, Smith said. What
happened there the end of the (2012) year,
losing my job, you get to that point and I
say this a lot, worrying about anything that
was outside your control and dwelling on
any of that stuff is only going to have a
negative impact.
He is coming off a statement game in a
41-14 Monday night win by the Chiefs (2-
2) against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Smith threw for 248 yards and three touch-
downs.
I cant wait to see him. Me and Alex came
in together, and Im so happy for him, said
running back Frank Gore, a staunch sup-
porter of Smith over the years. Hes doing
a great job. Weve got to go out there and try
to get a win. But Im happy for Alex and I
love him, man.
Smith considered leaving the Bay Area for
good after the 2010 season. He stuck
around, then in 2011 led teammates through
their own practices at nearby San Jose State
during the lockout.
He had unnished business, and then it
was time to go.
I felt like it was complete. I felt like we
had rebounded, Smith said. It took a lot

Caada head coach Rick Velasquez calls
this a rebuilding year, but the Colts are still
in the thick of the Central Valley
Conference mix, currently tied with Reedley
College for rst place with 21 points at the
halfway juncture of the season.
Last Thursday, Caada won in Conference
Tournament No. 6 by 14 strokes at
Hollisters Ridgemark Golf Course.
Freshman Miranda Wiss, out of Mercy-
Burlingame, medaled with a 79 on the par-
72 course. It is Wiss third medal of the sea-
son.
She really hits the ball a long way,
Velasquez said. Shes tall but she is really
consistent in the short game. Shes going
to be a really good golfer.
Velasquez knows about producing good
golfers. Six Caada alumnae are currently
playing at four-year schools, including
three from last years Northern California
champion team. Sarah Rotter is on scholar-
ship at Sonoma State; Shannon Wong is on
scholarship at Cal State Bakerseld; and
Michelle Wong, out of San Mateo High
School, is at Cal State East Bay. A fourth
from last years team, Laura Arrellano, is
nishing her associates degree at Caada
and plans to play at a four-year school next
season, Velasquez said.
Three 2012 Caada grads are also playing
as transfers. Annika Nousininan is at San
Diegos Point Loma Nazarene University;
the team twice shot a single-round school-
record 300 last week at the Western New
Mexico Invitational. Mehreen Raheel is
playing at Menlo College and Hannah
Murray is at Michigans Hope College.
Caada also competed Sunday and
Monday at the North/South Invitational at
Morro Bay Golf Course, taking sixth place
in the 17-team eld. Last season, Caada
won the tourney.
Next up for the Colts is Thursdays
Conference Tournament No. 7 hosted by
West Hills College in Leemore.
Volleyball
The Colts fell to Chabot in four sets
Wednesday to even up their record at 6-6.
Freshman setter Julie Ann Docena totaled
39 sets while Yasmin Crociani (El Camino)
had a team-high nine kills and Ariel
Magnum (Aragon) had 22 digs.
The Colts were coming off a sweep of
Monterey Peninsula last Friday. Up next,
they open Coast Conference South play
after a two-week sabbatical at Ohlone on
Oct. 15.
Mens soccer
The Colts dropped their Coast Conference
Central opener Tuesday with a 1-0 loss to
Hartnell.
Caada freshman goalkeeper Carl
Rodriguez, a Serra graduate, matched a
career-high with eight saves. With the score
tied 0-0, however, Hartnells Julio Varela-
Serrite scored a goal off an assist from Luis
Orendain in the 65th minute. The Colts
managed just two shots on goal in the con-
test.
With the loss, Caada has lost six
straight and falls to 1-6 overall. The Colts
host Chabot Friday at 2 p.m.
College of San Mateo
Womens Water Polo
Coming off their rst winning streak of
the season with two straight wins, the
Bulldogs (3-5) host the CSM Mini
Tournament Saturday. CSM will play a twin-
bill against a pair of teams from the power-
house Big 8 Conference, facing Sacramento
City (2-3) at 10 a.m. followed by Sierra (3-
3) at 2:40 p.m.
Then with Coast Conference play starting
next Tuesday at Foothill (4-2), followed by
a trip to West Valley (4-4) Wednesday, the
Bulldogs will look to put themselves on the
map early for on of the four available post-
season spots. CSM last qualied for the
playoffs as the Northern California wild
card in 2012, before being dismissed in the
rst round by American River.
Sierra and West Valley, those are two
teams that are just one step ahead of us,
CSM head coach Randy Wright said. It
would be nice to move up the chart in terms
of competitiveness and getting the job
done.
The Bulldogs got rolling at Cabrillo for
the Bockman Memorial Tournament last
Friday and Saturday. After falling to Cuesta
11-2, CSM tabbed two straight wins with a
14-12 victory over Modesto Friday, fol-
lowed by the Bulldogs most productive
offensive output with a 17-9 win over
Pasadena Saturday.
CSM got goals from six different players
in each of the two victories, including the
teams season high of seven goals from
freshman sensation Tayler OConnor
against Pasadena. Sophomore driver Shelby
Chung added four goals and seven assists.
Teams are going to start to center around
Tayler and Shelby, so the other girls are
going to have their openings now that the
teams are focusing on those two players,
Wright said. So, its imperative those
other players step up.
Coast Conference play will go by like a
bullet, as the schedule consists of just six
matches, concluding Oct. 29 against
Cabrillo.
The season is fast, Wright said. I tell
that to the girls every year. Live for every
day and make the most out of each moment
because in the blink of an eye, this thing is
over.
Skyline College
Womens soccer
In their only match over a 10-day span,
the Trojans fell 3-2 to Cabrillo in a non-
conference matchup last Friday at Skyline
College. Skyline jumped out to an early lead
with a goal by Melissa Escamillia on an
assist from Deandra Thomas in the 13th
minute. Cabrillo rattled off three straight
goals though. Tied at 1-1, the Seahawks got
two scores from Leslie Calixto in the 32nd
and the 61st minute, respectively. Thomas
netted a goal in the 75th minute on an assist
from Iliana Cabral for Skyline.
The Trojans (2-0 in Coast Conference
North, 6-4 overall) are currently tied atop
the Coast Conference North with Ohlone (2-
0, 4-4). Skyline resumes play Oct. 7, host-
ing City College of San Francisco in a con-
ference match at 1 p.m.
Volleyball
The Trojans tabbed win No. 10 on the sea-
son with a sweep of Monterey Peninsula
Wednesday night, 25-21, 25-21, 25-16.
Makaia Best and Sahara Clay (Oceana)
totaled a team-high 10 kills apiece. Trista
Laeha had 21 digs and setter Kimberley Tang
had 22 assists.
With the win, Skyline improves to 10-6
on the season. Last Friday, Skyline split a
pair of matches with a sweep of Shasta and a
3-1 loss to Butte. Best has recorded 39 kills
over her last three games.
Judy Viduya (El Camino) suffered a knee

Community college roundup
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Support his big moves or not,
Billy Beane made one thing perfectly clear: The
Oakland Athleticsseason probably would have
ended sooner without Jon Lester a part of it.
Oakland had the man on the mound it traded
for to shine in these very moments, and the As
summed up their topsy-turvy season in a single
game, over a span of innings and extra
innings.
Aroster of tired, banged-up bodies that owned
baseballs best record as recently as mid-August
and stumbled through September is now headed
into the offseason after a 9-8, 12-inning loss to
the Kansas City Royals in Tuesdays wild-card
game.
Beane went all in on July 31, dealing slug-
ging left elder Yoenis Cespedes to the Boston
Red Sox for Lester, the veteran left-hander who
seemed poised to pitch his team into the divi-
sion series before Oakland collapsed once more
late this season.
Simply put, if we dont have Jon Lester, I
dont think we make the playoffs, Beane said
Wednesday as players packed up their belong-
ings in a quiet clubhouse.
The small-budget As beat out the big
spenders in the Lester sweepstakes. Then
Wednesday, Beane bid Lester a likely farewell as
he heads off for a big-money contract else-
where.
An offense that had been prolic to that point
almost immediately went into a long funk,
sparking questions and scrutiny about Beanes
decision to part ways with someone as dynamic
in the middle of the order as Cespedes, the two-
time reigning Home Run Derby champ. The
Cuban defector signed a $36 million, four-year
contract before the 2012 season.
Manager Bob Melvin handed the ball to
Lester on Tuesday with the season on the line
and Oakland built him a nice lead that appeared
would be plenty, and the recent struggles might
all be forgotten as things started fresh. Yet that
7-3 cushion wouldnt last against a determined
Royals team, a starved franchise and fan base
celebrating the organizations rst playoffs
since 1985.
The As went 88-74 to get back to the play-
offs, failing to stay with the red-hot Angels
down the stretch after Oakland won the previous
two ALWest crowns.
Amicrocosm of that game was a microcosm
of our year, theres some truth to that, Melvin
said.
The September collapse bafed all involved,
Melvin and his players alike were regularly at a
loss for words in describing the various ways
they were failing to come through or, like
Tuesday night and some many others recently,
to nish off an opponent when the opportunity
arose.

By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Andrew Bogut saw Marreese
Speights driving to the rim during a pickup
game at the Golden State Warriors practice
facility a couple weeks ago and never sec-
ond-guessed what to do next.
Bogut moved in Speights path, held his
position and took a charge.
Im not going to change the way I play,
Bogut said. The way I play is I take
charges, I block shots, I set hard screens.
Unfortunately, we dont wear padding or
anything like that, and every now and then
were going to get a knock.
Golden States center and big difference
maker has taken more than a few knocks in
his career. Hes healthy again for training
camp, and he knows that the Warriors will
need him to stay that way to contend for
anything this season.
The fractured rib that sidelined him for the
rst-round loss to the Los Angeles Clippers
is healed, he said, but the mental anguish
of missing the playoffs has left another
kind of scar.
Since Milwaukee made him the No. 1
overall pick in the 2005 draft, Boguts
injuries include a dislocated right elbow,
broken right hand, sprained right wrist,
broken left ankle and
fractured rib. He also has
battled back discomfort on occasion.
Bogut has never been bothered by those
who believe hes injury prone. The only
thing that bugs Bogut is not being able to
play when his teammates need him most.
The 7-foot Australian center said he did
everything he could to return sooner from
his latest freak injury, which started after
he took a hit against Denver and worsened
when he was sandwiched by two Portland
defenders a few days later. He said he had
trouble breathing and could barely move,
let alone battle Blake Grifn and DeAndre
Jordan under the basket.
Bogut popped pain-killing pills and laid
on his stomach for nearly 24 hours a day
following the fracture. He had a rib-protect-
ing vest made in case he could return, but he
was unable to even sit on the bench.
Bogut said the rib might have calcied
enough for him to play at some point in the
second round had the Warriors advanced.
Instead, they lost in a decisive Game 7
against a Clippers team that controlled the
paint.
I did everything like I was going to play.
But in reality, Id rather be called soft and
injury prone by every fan, blogger and
media person out there than puncture my
lung, Bogut said. Because they wouldnt
be sending me a get-well card when Im in
the hospital.
When Bogut has played, he has played
well.
He dominated down low to propel the
Warriors to the second round of the playoffs
two seasons ago, even while nursing a sore
left ankle that had him limping out of the
locker room each time. He played 67 of 82
games last season, averaging 10 rebounds,
7.3 points and 1.7 assists.
But his biggest impact has come on
defense. Bogut has ranked among the NBAs
best in defensive ratings and is the primary
reason a franchise long known for offense
has been transformed into a defensive
leader, which makes the times he injured so
difcult to overcome.
Its having one of the best defensive cen-
ters in the league there versus not having
him there. Its daylight and darkness,
Warriors forward Harrison Barnes said.
When hes healthy, he can pass, he can
move. It just changes our whole dynamic.
Unlike during Mark Jacksons tenure, new
Warriors coach Steve Kerr is leaning on
Bogut to be a focal point on both sides of
the oor.
During a visit to Australia this summer,
Kerr brought a video that featured clips of
offensive plays for Bogut. Some highlights
were from Boguts time in Milwaukee.
Others came from Kerrs days playing in the
triangle offense for Phil Jacksons Chicago
Bulls in the 1990s, when another Australian
center, Luc Longley, often helped initiate
the offense.
Andrews one of the best passing centers
in the league. Hes one of the best Ive ever
seen, and so for us to get him the ball on the
elbows as a dribble-handoff guy, backdoor-
pass guy, that will be emphasized, Kerr
said.
Warriors Bogut hoping for a healthy season

every fan, blogger and media person out there
than puncture my lung. Because they wouldnt be
sending me a get-well card when Im in the hospital.
Andrew Bogut,Warriors center on
broken rib that kept him out of playoffs last season
If you dont want to pitch in these games,
you probably need to nd something else to
do, he said.
No chance of that for Bumgarner or the rest of
a roster that ourishes once the calendar ips
past September. Crawfords grand slam was the
rst in postseason history by a shortstop
and he wasnt aiming for the fences.
With the bases loaded in the fourth and
nobody out in a scoreless game, Crawford
turned on Volquezs hanging breaking ball and
sent it to right. Pittsburghs Travis Snider wait-
ed to play it off the wall. He never got the
chance, instead slumping his shoulders as the
ball landed a couple of rows deep to give the
Giants a 4-0 lead that felt considerably larger.
I was in shock a little bit, Crawford said.
So were the Pirates, who never recovered.
One night after Kansas City edged Oakland in a
thrilling start to baseballs postseason, this
one was over by the middle innings.
Overpowering one of the NLs best lineups,
Bumgarner walked one and threw 79 strikes in
his latest stellar October performance. The big
left-hander, who allowed only four singles, has
thrown 15 scoreless innings in two World
Series starts.
We got outplayed tonight, Pittsburgh sec-
ond baseman Neil Walker said. Bumgarner
went out there, he did what he wanted to do. He
put up the strike zone and he made it tough on
us.
Belt drove in three runs as the Giants padded
the lead late. By then the black-clad crowd that
began the night in a frenzy was watching in dis-
mayed silence.
Weve been there before, Belt said. Its a
lot of fun when youre on the road. ... You know
youre doing something good when the crowd
goes silent.
Volquez was trying to cap his comeback sea-
son by sending Pittsburgh to the NLDS for the
second straight year, but he couldnt match
Bumgarner.
The right-hander cruised until the fourth,
when a pair of singles and a walk loaded the
bases with none out. Hed retired Crawford 19
of the 22 times hed faced him during his career.
Its the 24th that hell remember.
I tried to bounce it down, back foot, and the
ball just kept going, Volquez said. Bad spot.
That was more than enough for Bumgarner.
Pittsburgh, fourth in the majors in extra-base
hits this season, rarely hit the ball hard.
Bumgarner was helped by his defense, too.
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval all 245
pounds of him ipped over the railing in
front of the Pittsburgh dugout to track down a
foul popup off the bat of Russell Martin.
Sandoval landed on his feet, a perfect symbol
of San Franciscos seemingly endless resilien-
cy when October rolls around.
Back in the playoffs after winning the World
Series in 2010 and 2012, the Giants are look-
ing to continue their every-other-year success.
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was unable to
duplicate last years victory over Cincinnati in
the wild-card game that followed a 21-year
playoff drought. Playing before raucous crowds
at PNC Park, the Pirates pushed St. Louis to a
decisive Game 5 before losing their NLDS.
This year, Pittsburgh went 17-9 in
September while taking the Cardinals to the
nal day of the season in an attempt to win the
NLCentral.
There will be no extended playoff stay this
time after Crawfords grand slam, the fourth in
Giants postseason history.
Shortstop had been the only position
including pitcher without a slam in postsea-
son play.

American and Canadian versions of the
game, but as Lavorato
said: Football is foot-
ball. I coached my kids
in Canada the same as I
do now. The offense I
run now is the same
offense I ran back then.
During his time with
the Gators, Lavorato has
not had a losing record.
In fact, the closest he
has come was a 5-5 mark in 2006. He has
averaged eight wins a season since 2003
and Lavoratos teams have averaged 10.5
wins per season since the Gators entered
the Peninsula Athletic League for the 2008
season. With Lavorato at the helm, the
Gators have made four CCS championship
games, winning it all in 2010, 2012 and
2013.
Since 2008, the Gators have won 11 or
more games four times.
The guess is Lavorato wont stop at 100
wins either. While he doesnt know how
long he plans to keep coaching, he thinks
he knows when it will be time to leave, but
that seems to be a ways off.
As long as theyll have me and it
remains fun, Ill stick around, Lavorato
said.

Pete Lavorato
however, sailed wide and the
Tigers were given new life. Tammy
Byrne swung through an attack
that came straight back at her from
the Presentation block.
Well, not right back at her. The
ball oated just a little left and fell
just inches wide of the sideline to
give set point to the Tigers.
Unlike the Panthers, Notre
Dame did not squander it as a
Panthers hitting error gave the
Tigers the 26-24 win and force a
fth and deciding set.
I said (during a timeout) we
needed to bear down and simplify
the game, Agresti said. Im con-
stantly reminding them to relax.
Notre Dame maintained its
momentum in Game 5 as the Tigers
jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead
when the Panthers misfired on
three straight attacks.
Presentation settled down, how-
ever, and won ve of the next six
points to close to 8-6.
But a kill from Byrne, a
Presentation hitting error and a
service ace from McDonald pushed
Notre Dames lead to 11-6. The
Panthers got as close as 14-11
before Smoot ended things with
her 23rd kill of the match.
It was huge to come back and
get that (fourth) game, Agresti
said. It almost didnt happen.
The Tigers came out with lots of
energy to start the match. They
trailed only once in Game 1 1-0
and while they didnt steam roll
the Panthers, they did maintain a
lead most of the way on their way
to a 25-18 win.
The Panthers, however, stabi-
lized things in Game 2 and started
to take control of the match. There
were 15 ties in the second set, the
last coming at 17-all. But the
Panthers asserted themselves
down the stretch, winning eight of
the nal 11 points to tie the match
at one set apiece.
The Panthers kept the momen-
tum on their side in Game 3, build-
ing a lead of 19-13. Notre Dame
rallied a bit, winning six of the
next seven points to close to 21-
19. But Presentation held them at
bay, taking a 25-20 lead.
Presentation was poised to take
the match as it controlled Game 4
before the Tigers late-game surge.
We still have a lot of things to
work on, but Im extremely proud
of my team, Agresti said. They
did the two things I told them to
do: give 100 percent effort and
dont give up.

Wilt Chamberlain to
appear on postage stamp
PHILADELPHIA Wilt
Chamberlain has been cut down to
size. Wilt The Stilt is now Wilt The
Stamp.
The Hall of Famer and the only NBA
player to score 100 points in a game
is set to appear on a commemorative
U.S postage stamp. Chamberlain died
in 1999 at age 63.
The U.S. Postal Service and the
Philadelphia 76ers, with cooperation
from the NBA, will formally dedicate
the Wilt Chamberlain Forever stamps
in a halftime ceremony at a Dec. 5
game against Oklahoma City.
The stamps are just over 2 inches
tall. One is based on a photograph of
Chamberlain in a Philadelphia
Warriors uniform; the other is based
on an image of Chamberlain in a Los
Angeles Lakers uniform.
The word Wilt is featured in either
the top right or left corner of each
stamp.
The cause was started in 2008 by
sports writer Donald Hunt of The
Philadelphia Tribune, a 129-year-old
newspaper that primarily targets the
black community. Hunt believed The
Big Dipper had the credentials to
join Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth,
Joe Louis and Jesse Owens among the
sports legends with their own stamps.

TRANSACTIONS
longer than I thought, got the
organization back where it needed
to be.
That 2011 year, Smith rallied
his team from behind ve times,
including four away games, as the
Niners went 6-2 on the road. His
14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon
Davis with 9 seconds remaining in
the NFC division playoffs lifted
the 49ers to a 36-32 victory
against the favored Saints.
And Smith was rewarded with a
new three-year contract in March
2012 with the idea he would carry
the offense again. A concussion
and a strong-armed guy named
Colin changed all that.
Colin Kaepernick took over for
good in November and Smith
never regained his job even when
healthy. He was stung, angry at
times, and didnt agree with the
decision. But he kept his mouth
shut.
One of the classiest people Ive
ever been around, just an all-
around great guy. I dont think
anyone could have handled it any
better than he did, Kaepernick
said Wednesday. He definitely
made things go a lot smoother.
The way he handled things, he did-
nt turn it into a controversy in the
locker room. That just shows the
character he has not just as a play-
er but as a man.
Smith nds it funny this week
to be watching 49ers defensive
stars Justin Smith and Patrick
Willis on tape.
Defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula was among Smiths sup-
porters. It was Tomsula who start-
ed him over Troy Smith, which
made him a winner in a one-game
stint as interim head coach to end
the 2010 season after Mike
Singletary was red.
I have a tremendous amount of
respect for Alex Smith as a
man, a father, a husband, a person,
and a football player, Tomsula
said. I think hes extremely intel-
ligent, extremely gifted, I think
hes a winner. I dont have a nega-
tive about Alex Smith, I just really
think the world of him.
In 2011, Smith thrived under 15-
year quarterback-turned-first-year
NFL head coach Jim Harbaugh and
helped lead the franchise to its
rst postseason berth and winning
record in nine years.
Largely because of Smiths lead-
ership then, the 49ers have
emerged as a regular contender
again. He threw for 3,150 yards
and 17 touchdowns with only ve
interceptions in 2011 as arguably
the biggest surprise in San
Franciscos 13-3 run to its rst
division title since 2002.
We have great respect for his
game. Ive never seen Alex Smith
not be good, Harbaugh said. Im
sure that adds to it, adds to the
competitiveness the fact Alex did
play here. Very happy for his suc-
cess, not rooting for success for
him this week.
Andy Reid, who returned to
Philadelphia in his rst season
coaching the Chiefs last year,
offered his own insight to Smith.
What I did was I just ordered a
cheesesteak and went and
coached, Reid said. You elimi-
nate the clutter. You focus in on
what you do. All that stuff, going
home, that doesnt mean any-
thing.
SMITH
FALL RIVER, Mass. Lawyers
for ex-New England Patriot Aaron
Hernandez continued their effort
Wednesday to have cellphone evi-
dence thrown out, and a judge began
hearing testimony on what the
defense claims was an unlawful
interrogation of him at his home.
Judge E. Susan Garsh issued no
immediate ruling after considering
testimony over two days on whether
the seizure of the ex-players
BlackBerry was illegal.
The defense also maintains
Hernandez was unlawfully ques-
tioned while state police executed
search warrants at his North
Attleborough house. In a prior af-
davit, he said he felt helpless in the
face of the occupation of my house
by the police. He also said he wor-
ried what would happen to his
ancee and baby if he didn't answer
questions, though he had directed
police the day before to speak to his
lawyers.
Under questioning Wednesday in
Fall River Superior Court, state
police Sgt. Paul Baker said
Hernandez did not appear frightened
or raise any concerns about his fam-
ily when authorities arrived with the
warrants. He described the scene as
low key.
Hernandez, 24, has pleaded not
guilty to rst-degree murder in the
2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd,
a Boston semi-professional foot-
ball player who was dating the sister
of Hernandez's ancee.

Where fashion goes, decor follows.
And this fall, the fashionistas are
inspired by Scotland.
Plaid capes, kilts and coats hit the
fall 2014 catwalk for Saint Laurent and
Stella McCartney. Marchesa showed
tartan-printed lace, argyle and fur, and
deconstructed kilt patterns into a dress
collection. Brazilian label Animale
used Celtic and druid patterns, and shot
their ad campaign against a rocky,
Braveheart-esque background.
Maybe its Scotlands referendum on
independence thats drawn designers
attention.
If youre ready to add a little Highland
ing to your living space this season,
there are lots of options.
Rich woods, squooshy sofas, rubbed
bronze and landscape prints evoke the
Caledonian country manor. The look,
traditional and tasteful, can be dressed
up or down.
And modern interpretations also
abound, with oversize or edited classic
patterns, layering of aged items with
new, and playful versions of iconic
Scottish elements.
Scottish style is rich with clan tar-
tans and evocative motifs drawn from a
long and tempestuous history. The
color palettes equally rich: deep lichen
greens, rainy grays, cranberry, moat
blue, malt and butterscotch. In paints,
check out Devine Colors Oat, Thunder
and Juniper; Sherwin Williams Loch
Blue and Salute; Farrow & Balls
Pigeon. (www.devinecolor.com;

herringbone, plaid, tweed, lace and
argyle. Pottery Barns Alana lace print-
ed bedding; Targets Threshold Paisley

pouf; and Graham & Browns argyle
wallpapers are at AllModern.

Additions that make the
yard a winter hangout
By Diana Marszalek
As fun as summer at the lake is, Sue Vanderwiel and fami-
ly also make the most of their Apple River, Illinois, vaca-
tion home in the winter. Thats when it is much quieter, and
we can just hang out, play games and chill, literally and g-
uratively.
The family gathers around a big stone re pit (15 feet in
diameter) often with smores, hot chocolate and pepper-
mint schnapps for Mom and Dad even when those
Midwestern temperatures drop.
We have been out there with snow on the ground, the
Chicago-area resident says. Regardless of the season, we
stargaze and watch satellites travel across the sky.
Refusing to become shut-ins during the winter, many
homeowners are making their outdoor spaces warm and
comfy for year-round use. Builders cite increasing demand
from clients trying to maximize their homes potential by
adding everything from DIY ice rinks to elaborate outdoor
kitchens.
We are working harder, we are working longer hours, and
we dont necessarily want to get in the car and travel
through trafc on weekends, says landscape designer and
builder David Veron, owner of The Veron Company in
Marlborough, Massachusetts. People want to stay home
and make the most of their time there.
Making outdoor spaces usable in chillier months, Veron
says, requires only that they are comfortable (i.e. warm),
safe and pleasing to the eye.
Features that lend themselves to an activity cooking in
an outdoor pizza oven, sipping wine next to an outdoor re-
place or watching the kids play, for instance are a plus.
If youre warm and the space is visually appealing, thats
great. But what are you doing out there? Veron says.
You could easily spend tens (even hundreds) of thousands
of dollars on such projects how about that three-sided
kitchen with heated oors and ceilings? but there are also
cost-efcient ways to make outdoor space usable year-
round.
If youre a hockey fan, putting in a nice ice rink (which
costs around $400) and re pit (which start at about $500),
is absolutely a home run, Veron says. Youve just bought
another season.
Mike Marler, general manager of Outdoor Solutions, a
Jackson, Mississippi-area company that specializes in cre-
ating outdoor living areas, says there are also ways to warm
up structures. Most of the structures his company builds
include some sort of roof or walls pavilions, pool hous-
es or outdoor kitchens, for example. Installing roll-up shut-
ter or louvered doors helps keep the chill out, especially in
a relatively mild place like Mississippi, where winter tem-
peratures rarely dip below the 20-degree mark.
Were not trying to climate-control those spaces as much
as make them comfortable, he says.

By Lee Reich
The edges of woods in eastern North
America are occasionally redolent with a
sweet aroma reminiscent of jasmine. Wild
grapes, dangling in ripe clusters from low-
hanging vines, are what perfume the air.
That scent begs a taste which you
quickly discover pales by comparison with
the perfume. Wild grapes are downright
sour.
Now go to your grocers shelf and take a
deep whiff of the grapes there. Hardly a hint
of aroma, unless the grapes happen to be
Concord, a commercial variety that captures
the essence of our wild grapes. And
Concords berries are much larger and sweet-
er that their wild counterparts.
FOXY GRAPES
Concord is not the only grape variety that
captures that unique aroma known as
foxiness of wild grapes. But it is the
most common one. With its tough skin that
slips off to release a layer of sweetness, its
jellied esh and its foxy avor, Concord is
the archetypal American grape. Contrast it
with Thompson Seedless, whose mild a-
vor, sweetness, and crunchy esh are charac-
teristic of European, or vinifera, grapes.
No one is quite sure how the strong avor
of grapes like Concord came to be called
foxy. The term probably signied a cer-
Concord: Americas foxy
grape tastes good too
Among Concords qualities is its adaptability to varying soils and climates.

tain earthy aroma, or it might be that fox
grapes were called that because foxes
enjoyed them.
The chemical responsible for the aroma

Commercially, it has been used as a natural

MR. BULLS SUCCESS
The man we have to thank for Concord
grapes is Ephraim Bull, a retiring soul who
resided in Concord, Massachusetts, from
his birth in 1805 until his death in 1895.
He planted the seed that was to become
Concord in 1843; the vine bore its rst
fruits in 1849. That fruit was exhibited
before the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society in 1852, was introduced by a nurs-
ery in 1854 and the rest is, as they say, his-
tory.
By 1865, Concord was awarded a prize by
the American Institute of the City of New
York as the best grape for general cultiva-
tion. Horace Greeley, donor of the prize,
declared Concord the grape for the mil-
lions.
And planted by the millions it was.
Among Concords qualities is its adaptabil-
ity to varying soils and climates. Youll
find its vines growing in almost every
state, even California, where European
grapes thrive. For that matter, youll even
nd Concord planted in Europe, as a back-
yard variety.
And while we may pooh-pooh those
sweet wines made from Concord, they are
popular in Italy even though, or perhaps
because, it can be illegal there to sell
Fragolino, as wines made from American-
type grapes are called. (The legality is ques-
tionable and depends on just how the bottle
is labeled.)
EASIER TO GROW
Concord and some other American grapes
got a foothold in Europe after diseases and
insects almost wiped out the European grape
industry. These pests actually came from
here, hitch-hiking over on American grapes
that were being tried out in Europe begin-
ning about the middle of the 19th century.
This highlights another quality of
Concord: its relative resistance to insect
and disease pests. Add to this list of quali-
ties its relatively late blossoms, rarely
nipped by late spring frosts; the fruits
ability to hang well, and the rich, deep
color the berries develop.
Its true some people just dont like that
foxy avor. But for an adaptable, avorful
and useful grape, plant Concord. Eat the
fruit fresh, squeeze it into juice, ferment it
into wine. Let the ripening berries perfume
the air in your backyard. You will have no
trouble nding a place to buy a Concord
vine, for its still one of the most widely
sold grape varieties.

hotline number and links to local,
regional and national resources,
according to Caltrain.
Talking about mental health can be
uncomfortable for many, but its vital
to shed light on the issue, reduce the
stigma and share ways to help,
Ackemann said.
Many people who are considering
thoughts of suicide are despondent for
a long time before they take any
action, Ackemann said. Its not just
about stopping someone, its about
becoming a part of the national con-
versation and looking for ways we can
do things as a community.
Victor Ojakian and his wife Mary
lost their 21-year-old son to suicide.
Ojakian now co-chairs the Santa Clara
County Mental Health Departments
Suicide Prevention Oversight
Committee and strives to promote sui-
cide prevention resources. Last year,
the Ojakians were the recipients of the
Bay Area Jefferson award and honored
for their years of work helping stu-
dents receive mental health services.
The Ojakians joined Ackemann and
others who have been affected by sui-
cide at a press conference Wednesday
at the downtown San Mateo Caltrain
station to announce the transit
agencys new efforts and encourage a
dialogue about mental health issues.
Ackemann said she lost two loved
ones to suicide.
We know, part of this is communi-
cation, Ojakian said. One of the
things we need to do is take the boo
out of taboo. That, in fact, people are
afraid to talk about suicide because its
quote, scary. But we need to remove
that notion.
National studies show about 40,000
people die by suicide every year; one
tenth of those occur in California,
Ojakian said.
California has a public health cri-
sis. People dont want to talk about it
that way, but thats what it is. You
dont lose that many lives and just
cavalierly go by without recognizing
the magnitude of how many people
died. In this corridor, the corridor that
Caltrains train runs along, we lose
over 300 people on average per year,
Ojakian said.
Caltrains corridor crosses Santa
Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco
counties. Although suicides on
Caltrains right-of-way only account
for 3 percent of the total number in the
Peninsula region, Ackemann said they
receive heightened attention because
of the amount of people it affects.
In 2013, Caltrain transit police
intervened and made referrals to 23
people in danger of harming them-
selves on the tracks, according to
Caltrain.
San Mateo County sheriffs Deputy
Sal Zuno is assigned to the Caltrain
Transit Police Bureau and said his
intervention training was invaluable.
Zuno said he and his partner encoun-
tered a man standing on the tracks
looking at an oncoming train. After
forcefully being removed from the
tracks, the man broke down crying,
Zuno said.
Ultimately, the man needed some-
one to talk to, Zuno said. Just being
there to support and communicate
with the troubled man then recom-
mend resources made a life-changing
difference, Zuno said.
Ojakian said a recent study showed
more than 50 percent of Californians
have had their lives affected by suicide
in some way. Ojakian said as an
agency unrelated to mental health
services, Caltrain is taking lead in
broadening the discussion.
To go back to Caltrain, why are
they important? Because this isnt
their line of work, and they said that
initially when young people were los-
ing their lives on their train tracks.
But then they came to the realization
that, its in fact all of our responsibil-
ities and that you cant address that
issue just by pulling someone off the
train tracks, Ojakian said. You have
to do something way up front,
upstream, way before someone gets to
the point of getting on the train
tracks, if you really want to be pre-
ventative and save lives.
If you or someone you know needs
help, call the crisis hotline at (800)
784-2433. To visit Caltrains suicide
prevention page go to
www.caltrain.com/ThereIsHelp or the
Safety and Security section under the

SUICIDE
there is no legitimate debt, according
to the lawsuit led Monday in San
Mateo County Superior Court.
Jill Fox, attorney for Sojourn, said
the organization appreciates the
Sterns service and has offered to reim-
burse any legitimate business expens-
es but needs proper documentation.
Sojourn also asked that the Sterns
show they werent using the expenses
as a charitable contribution, Fox said.
Neither Fox nor the Sterns attorney
Dov Grunschlag could say if Sojourn
made a habit of having board members
or others within the group front it
money but that the couple had done so
for some time.
I think they did it both to get the
mileage credit and to help with cash
ow, Grunschlag said.
Sojourn to the Past, created by for-
mer Capuchino High School teacher
Jeff Steinberg, who serves as execu-
tive director, takes students on a 10-
day tour through the past by visiting
civil rights landmarks and hearing
rsthand from participants. Thousands
of students have participated since its
inception. The nonprofit is funded
largely on donations and Fox said no
student is denied access for inability to
pay.
The Sterns served the board two
years, with Lawrence Stern acting as
chair, and departed in June, Fox said.
On May 23, 2014, two credit card
statements came due for expenses
including hotel lodging. Sojourn was
to pay the charges directly but told the
Sterns it had insufficient funds
although it did pay three other bills
that were due, according to the suit.
The Sterns paid the bills to avoid
interest charges and Sojourn agreed at
its June board meeting to repay them
but now refuses, Grunschlag said.
Fox said she is still familiarizing
herself with the suit but she has not
seen any written agreement between
Sojourn and the Sterns.
Grunschlag said the couple thought
Sojourn would have the money by late
May or early June based on nancial
information it gave them but later
learned that the signicant amount of
accounts receivable were instead
comped trips.
Had the Sterns known this, they
wouldnt have used their cards,
Grunschlag said.
The Sterns were not going to be
advancing money without being com-
fortable about being reimbursed, he
said.
Acase management conference is set
for Feb. 6.

base near their home. Wednesday was his rst day without
work. The couple has ve children.
Kamischke said the economy is her top concern, and
shes focused on national security only if it helps get her
husbands job back.
The poll found that concerns about the spate of foreign
policy challenges facing the U.S. have grown since July,
with 6 in 10 Americans now calling the U.S. role in world
affairs an important issue, up from 51 percent in July.
And most people remain dissatised with those in power.
Just 7 percent of likely voters approve of the way Congress
is handling its job, 42 percent approve of President Barack
Obamas job performance.
Asked how they feel about his administration, 58 percent
are dissatised or angry, while 74 percent were dissatised
or angry with the Republican leadership in Congress.
Few see change coming once voting closes Nov. 4. A
majority of likely voters, 52 percent, expect the
Democratic Party to retain control of the Senate, with 68
percent saying the GOP will keep the House.
About 8 in 10 likely voters deemed several issues impor-
tant, including the threat posed by the Islamic State group,
terrorism, and the issue many thought would come to domi-
nate this years electoral contests, health care.
But all told, 92 percent of likely voters called the econo-
my an extremely or very important issue.
Persistent concerns about the economy are fueled by per-
ceptions that things arent getting better. Just 38 percent of
likely voters describe the economy as good, and half as
many think theres been any improvement in the last
month. The outlook for the future is dim, with only 34 per-
cent expecting any improvement in the coming year.
Wayne Savage, of Allegan, Michigan, who turns 55 on
Friday and works in manufacturing, said his top priority in
the voting booth will be the economy and national securi-
t y, followed by immigration. He says that the economy is
slowly improving in his part of southwestern Michigan.
Manufacturing is starting to do a little better here, he
said. We still have a long way to go, but things are mov-
ing in the right direction.
Ashift in focus toward the threat of terrorism could bene-
t the GOP, the poll suggests. About 4 in 10 likely voters
trust the Republicans more to protect the country while just
a quarter prefer the Democrats. On handling the economy,
however, the GOP holds a much smaller edge, 36 percent to
31 percent for the Democrats.
Neither party holds a clear advantage in the coming elec-
tion, which has already started as early voting begins in
some states.
Asked which party theyd like to see win control of
Congress, 45 percent of likely voters prefer Republicans
and 42 percent the Democrats. In their own districts, those
surveyed are evenly split: 33 percent back a Democratic
candidate, 33 percent a Republican, 10 percent another can-
didate and 23 percent are undecided.
In those places where Senate campaigns are nearly impos-
sible to avoid, voters arent bullish on the GOPs chances of
taking the Senate. Among likely voters in 10 states with
competitive Senate races, 52 percent think the Democrats
will hold the Senate while 49 percent think the Republicans
will take control. These voters are also evenly split on
which party ought to control Congress, 44 percent favor
each party.
That neither side has grabbed a clear edge is unsurprising
given the publics take on those currently in power.
Among all likely voters, majorities have unfavorable
opinions of each party 96 percent say they are dissatis-
ed or angry with the leadership of one side or the other.
Among those who prefer a GOP-controlled Congress, 52
percent say theyre dissatised or angry with the current
Republican leadership.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted September 25-29, 2014,
using KnowledgePanel, GfKs probability-based panel
designed to be representative of the U.S. population. It
involved online interviews with 1,845 adults, and has a
margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage
points for all respondents. Among 958 likely voters, the
margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 points.
Respondents were rst selected randomly using phone or
mail survey methods, and later interviewed online. People
selected for KnowledgePanel who didnt otherwise have
access to the Internet were provided with the ability to
access the Internet at no cost to them.

Palestinians say that Israeli
occupation must end in 16
UNITED NATIONS The Palestinians are asking the U.N.
Security Council to set a deadline of November 2016 for an
Israeli withdrawal from all Palestinian territory occupied
since 1967 including East Jerusalem in a new push to
achieve independence. The circulation of the draft resolution
to council members follows Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas announcement to the U.N. General Assembly last
Friday that he would ask the council to set a deadline for a
pullout and dictate the ground rules for any talks with Israel.
The draft resolution, obtained Wednesday by the
Associated Press, would afrm the Security Councils deter-
mination to contribute to attaining a peaceful solution that
ends the Israeli occupation without delay and fullls the
vision of two states an independent, sovereign, demo-
cratic, contiguous and viable state of Palestine living side
by side with Israel in peace and security in borders based on
those before the 1967 Mideast war.

Russia halts student exchange program with U.S.
MOSCOW The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has voiced
regret about Russias decision to cancel its participation in a
major high school student exchange program.
U.S. Ambassador John F. Tefft said in a statement that the
Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program has brought more
than 8,000 Russian high school students to the United States
to live with American families, attend high school and expe-
rience community life.
Tefft added we deeply regret this decision by the Russian
government to end a program that for 21 years has built deep
and strong connections between the people of Russia and the
United States.
Russia said Wednesday it had halted the program after one of
its students had failed to return home. The move comes amid
serious strains in U.S.-Russian ties over Russias actions in
Ukraine.
The public outcry weve seen among Russians who either
participated in the program or wanted to participate speaks to
the powerful and lasting, positive impact these kinds of
exchange can have on peoples lives. The FLEX program was
vital in building those kinds of bonds between young
Russians and Americans that we need in order to overcome
challenges in our bilateral relations, U.S. State Department
Spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters in Washington.
Ukraine rebels close in on Donetsk airport
DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Russian rebels in eastern
Ukraine advanced Wednesday on the government-held airport
in Donetsk, pressing to seize the key transportation hub even
as the two sides bargained over a troop pullout under a much-
violated truce.
Fighting for the airport has raged for months as the insur-
gents have tried to dislodge the government forces using it to
shell rebel positions in Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city.
At least nine people were killed in the crossre Wednesday in
residential areas near the airport.
Civilian and military casualties have continued to rise in
eastern Ukraine despite a cease-re Sept. 5 and a second agree-
ment Sept. 20 that spelled out how to create a buffer zone.
While that helped to enforce the cease-re in areas where
Ukrainians troops and rebels chose to retreat, non-stop ght-
ing has continued at the airport and other strategic locations.
While the Donetsk airport building has been gutted by
shelling, its long runway would let the rebels handle heavy
cargo planes carrying supplies, instead of relying solely on
truck convoys from Russia.

MAHMOUDIYAH, Iraq The
exhausted Kurdish fighters leaned
against a pair of antiquated green can-
nons on a hill overlooking this
northern Iraqi village, the ground
around them littered with shrapnel
from fierce battles with Islamic State
militants.
One of them, Moustafa Saleh,
tapped the cannon with his mud-caked
boots. Russian-made, he said, with
a smirk. My grandfather used the
same one.
Iraqi Kurdish fighters on the front
lines of battle say they have yet to
receive the heavy weapons and train-
ing pledged by the United States and
nearly a dozen other countries to help
them push back the Sunni militants.
U.S.-led airstrikes have forced the
militants to retreat or go into hiding
in towns and villages across northern
Iraq, paving the way for ground forces
to retake territory seized by the mili-
tant group in its lightening advance
since June across western and north-
ern Iraq.
But without more sophisticated
weaponry, the Kurdish fighters,
known as peshmerga, have had to rely
on aging arms like the Soviet-era can-
nons, a centerpiece of the offensive
Tuesday to retake Mahmoudiyah and
the nearby strategic towns of Rabia
and Zumar.

HONG KONG Raising the stakes
in their standoff with the authorities,
Hong Kongs pro-democracy protest-
ers threatened to occupy key govern-
ment buildings unless the territorys
top official resigns by the end of the
day Thursday.
The Chinese government, mean-
while, appeared to be losing
patience. An editorial solemnly read
Wednesday on state TV said all Hong
Kong residents should support
authorities in their efforts to deploy
police enforcement decisively and
restore the social order in Hong
Kong as soon as possible.
And the Communist Party-run
Peoples Daily warned of unimagin-
able consequences if the protests
persist.
In the biggest challenge to
Beijings authority since China took
control of the former British colony
in 1997, thousands of demonstrators
have clogged the streets of the Asian
financial center since Friday, demand-
ing freer elections in Hong Kong.
Storming government buildings
would risk inviting another clash
with police like the one over the
weekend.

economy
By Jennifer Agiesta
WASHINGTON Its not Obamacare or climate change.
Its not yet terrorism or fear of the Islamic State group.

New Mexico hopes
singing road curbs speeding
TIJERAS, N.M. New Mexico
transportation ofcials are hoping a
singing road along historic Route 66
will curb speeding.
Tigress Productions is creating the
road between Albuquerque and the
mountain community of Tijeras for a
new National Geographic Channel
series dubbed Crowd Control that
will debut in November.
The road uses a series of rumble strips
to create music. The driver will hear the
tune as long as the speed limit is
obeyed.
There are only a few such singing
roads in the world.
Aside from getting drivers to slow
down, state Transportation Secretary
Tom Church says the rumble strips will
keep drowsy drivers from falling asleep
at the wheel.
He says the goal of the experiment is
to change driver behavior in a fun way
by giving them a reward for obeying
the speed limit.
Oregon cops: Suspect
drove fast, had strong smell
LEBANON, Ore. Ofcers in west-
ern Oregon say a suspect they tried to
collar at a trafc stop drove too fast for
pursuing ofcers, but eventually he was
just too fragrant.
The Albany Democrat-Herald reports
that the driver gave ofcers in Linn
County the slip in a high-speed chase
before dawn Sunday, doing better than
100 mph in a red Honda Prelude whose
hood ew off.
But Lebanon police later saw the car
parked and launched a search by foot.
Thats when ofcers caught a strong
scent of cologne in the darkness and
soon found their suspect hiding in
shrubbery.
Thirty-five-year-old Charles V.
Agosto was jailed on charges including
probation violation and trying to elude
ofcers. Ofcers said he told them he
regretted using the cologne.
There was no immediate indication
he had a lawyer.
Reports: China
body-searched 10,000 pigeons
BEIJING The 10,000 doves
released in a ceremony Wednesday for
Chinas National Day underwent unusu-
al scrutiny, each having its feathers and
anus checked for dangerous materials,
state-run media reports said, reecting
government jitters over possible
attacks.
The symbols of peace were released at
sunrise in Beijings symbolic heart of
Tiananmen Square in a ceremony for the
Oct. 1 holiday to celebrate the 65th
anniversary of the founding of the
Peoples Republic of China.
Beijing domestic security police of-
cer Guo Chunwei was quoted in the
Jinghua Times as saying workers
checked the wings, legs and anus of
each pigeon ahead of time to ensure
they were not carrying suspicious
material. The entire process was
videotaped, and the birds were then
loaded into sealed vehicles for the trip
to Tiananmen Square, the newspaper
said.
A similar report appeared in the
Beijing News, and the Peoples Daily
tweeted about it in English: 10,000
pigeons go through anal security check
for suspicious objects Tue, ready to be
released on National Day on Wed.
The reports which did not say what
the suspicious materials might be
drew amused and derisive responses
from some Chinese readers, and many
news sites, including the Beijing News
website, later deleted the reports.
However, the Jinghua Times report and
the Peoples Daily tweet were still visi-
ble as of midday Wednesday.
Members of the Chinese public
responded with sarcasm because they
see in the pigeon body searches their
own plight in what they consider an
oppressive society with tight surveil-
lance, censorship and judicial injus-
tice, independent columnist Zhang
Ping said in an editorial that was circu-
lated on social media under his pen
name, Changping.
The liberty and dignity of citizens
are increasingly vulnerable, and can be
expropriated at any time, like with the
pigeons, Zhang wrote.

South City man arrested
for underage sexual assault
ASouth San Francisco man was arrested
Thursday for various sex crimes against an
underage female, according to police.
Ronald Somoza Lauron, 42, a technolo-
gy assistant, is alleged to have sexually
assaulted an underage victim multiple
times over the last two years during sleep-
over parties at his South San Francisco
home, according to police.
Police believe there may be other
unidentified sexual assault victims. Police
said he commonly hosted sleepover par-
ties at his residence during which underage
girls would spend the night.
Any victims or anyone else with evi-
dence is asked to contact the South San
Francisco Police Department Criminal
Investigations Bureau at (650) 877-8910.
Lauron posted $750,000 bail and is
scheduled to make his first court appear-

Heat advisory issued
for Thursday and Friday
Forecasted temperatures approaching
100 degrees in the Bay Area on Thursday
and Friday have prompted the National
Weather Service to issue a heat advisory
for the region.
The advisory for the San Francisco Bay
and Monterey Bay areas takes effect
Thursday at about noon and lasts until
Friday evening but may be extended into
Saturday.
Temperatures are expected to be highest
on Friday, with coastal areas climbing to
the mid- to high-80s and potentially
reaching the mid-90s in Santa Cruz, weath-
er service forecasters said.
Inland areas are expected to get even hot-
ter, with temperatures in cities like
Concord, Livermore and San Jose expected
to approach 100 degrees Friday afternoon.
Thursdays temperatures are expected to
reach the mid-80s in coastal areas and the
mid-90s in inland areas. Saturday is
expected to see some cooling, with tem-
peratures similar to Thursdays .
The hot weather, dry air and light winds
could pose a potential fire danger, fore-
casters said.
Email scammer tries to
access victims bank account
A South San Francisco resident nearly
became the victim of an email scammer
who tried to gain access to his bank
account Tuesday, police said.
The victim received an email claiming to
be from South African Attorney Peter
Lawrence that said the victim had inherit-
ed $7.5 million from someone named
Allen Cooper in South Africa, South San
Francisco police said.
The victim replied to the email with his
contact information and the scammer
called him and told him he would need to
pay a small amount of money for probate
fees, police said.
The scammer also told the victim he
would need to provide his bank account
numbers in order to transfer the money
into his account, police said.
The victim refused to provide his bank
information after the scammer became
angry and demanding when he hesitated,
according to police.
The victim reported the incident to
police. Had he provided his bank account
information, the scammer would likely
have been able to access and drain his
account, police said.
Police advise residents never to give
personal information, bank account infor-
mation or send money in response to sim-
ilar emails. If anyone ever calls demanding
money from cash cards, residents should
contact their local police departments.

The San Mateo County Transit District
Board of Directors Wednesday voted to select
First Transit, Inc. as the new $42.9 million
ve-year paratransit service provider for the
Redi-Wheels program, the transit agency
announced.
Redi-Wheels provides paratransit services
to customers with disabilities who cannot
independently use SamTrans bus service. The
ve-year base contract includes ve one-year
options at an additional cost, according to
the agency.
For the past 10 years, the districts para-
transit services have been provided by MV
Transportation Inc.
Both MV and First Transit submitted bids
for the new contract. The proposals were
considered based on a broad mix of criteria
that included experience and technical
skills, staff and training, operating plans
and cost, according to the transit agency.
The two transportation providers were
brought in for panel interviews before a nal
determination was made. The panel included
representatives from SamTrans Accessible
Services and Bus Contracts Administration
and the San Mateo County Paratransit
Coordinating Council, a citizens panel that
advises SamTrans on its Redi-Wheels serv-
ice, according to the transit agency.
First Transit has committed to recognizing
Amalgamated Transit Union 1574 as the bar-
gaining unit for the employees who work on
the Redi-Wheels contract and to retaining all
qualied employees working under the previ-
ous contract who wish to continue their serv-
ice to Redi-Wheels customers, according to
the transit agency.

A house under construction outside of Boulder, Colo.
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. construction
spending fell in August, the second decline
in the past three months, with housing,
non-residential and government projects all
showing weakness.
Construction spending dropped a season-
ally adjusted 0.8 percent after a 1.2 percent
increase in July, the Commerce Department
reported Wednesday. The July increase fol-
lowed a 1.6 percent June decline.
The weakness was apparent in all sectors.
Housing construction declined 0.1 percent,
reecting a big drop in spending on remod-
eling. Non-residential construction fell 1.4
percent while spending on government
projects dropped 0.9 percent.
In addition to the August decline, the gov-
ernment revised lower its estimates for
activity in the previous two months. While
this could call into question expectations
that building activity will support econom-
ic growth in the second half of the year,
economists at Barclays said they were leav-
ing their forecast for third quarter growth
unchanged at 3 percent.
Barclays economist Michael Grapen said
while the report signaled a softer start to the
third quarter, he was still encouraged with
gains shown in single-family and apartment
construction.
Overall construction spending totaled
$960.96 billion at a seasonally adjusted
annual rate in August, 5 percent higher than
a year ago.
Judge: Stockton must
treat pension like other debt
SACRAMENTO Striking at the sanctity
of public pensions in California, a federal
judge ruled Wednesday that U.S. bankruptcy
law allows the city of Stockton to treat pen-
sion fund obligations like other debts,
meaning the city could trim benet s.
Stockton argued that it must make its pen-
sion contributions for public employees
before its creditors are paid the entire
amount they are owned.
The case is being closely watched because
it could help clarify who gets paid rst by
nancially strapped cities around the nation
retirement funds or creditors.
The ruling was prompted by a key credi-
tors contention that pension obligations
should be treated like other debts. Franklin
Templeton Investments said the pension
payments are fair game as it tries to collect
on an unsecured $32.5 million claim
against the city.

U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services. It contends that Californias
Department of Managed Health Care dis-
criminated against those morally opposed
to abortion and requests an investigation.
The complaint is under review, said
Rachel Seeger, spokeswoman for the fed-
eral agencys Office for Civil Rights.

Thousands lose power after
vehicle hits pole in San Mateo
About 5,000 San Mateo residents and

after a vehicle crashed into a power pole at a
construction site, police said.
The vehicle hit a power pole at low speed
in a construction site near the corner of
Pacic Boulevard and South Delaware Street
at about 1:30 p.m., according to San Mateo
police.
The crash caused a power outage for about
5,000 PG&E customers, mainly in the
Fiesta Gardens neighborhood, police said.
PG&E crews responded to make repairs
and power was restored to the neighborhood
by 3:15 p.m., according to police.

The rst reported case of Ebola in the
United States is spooking airline investors
and raising the prospect that some fright-
ened travelers might stay home despite
repeated reassurances from public-health
experts.
Details of the mans 28-hour trip from
western Africa emerged Wednesday. He ew
on two airlines, took three ights, and had
lengthy airport layovers before reaching
Texas on Sept. 20.
Still, federal ofcials say other passen-
gers on the ights are at no risk of infection
because the man had no symptoms at the
time of his trip.
Thomas Eric Duncan left Monrovia,
Liberia, on Sept. 19 aboard a Brussels
Airlines jet to the Belgian capital, accord-
ing to a Belgian ofcial. After layover of
nearly seven hours, he boarded United
Airlines Flight 951 to Dulles International
Airport near Washington, D.C. After anoth-
er layover of nearly three hours, he then ew
Flight 822 from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, the airline conrmed.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Duncan sought
medical care Sept. 25 in Dallas after falling
ill the day before.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the
National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious
Disease at the National Institutes of Health,
told the Associated Press that even though
Duncan took several ights to reach the
U.S., his lack of symptoms at the time made
it extraordinarily unlikely that he infected
anyone else on the planes.
Still, the incident spooked airline
investors. Shares of United and other lead-
ing U.S. airline companies dropped 2.8 per-
cent or more. Shares of European carriers
fell by similar margins.
The fear is if this gets worse, it would
affect peoples travel behavior, said
Joseph DeNardi, an analyst with Stifel,
Nicolaus & Co. Health ofcials sound con-
dent that theyve got it under control.
Hopefully theyre right.
The CDC typically notifies an airline
when it learns that an infectious person
traveled on that carrier. The airline then
turns over the ight manifest to the CDC,
and health ofcials notify other passengers
while the airline deals with crew members.
In this case, the CDC told United but not
the public what ights the man took. In an
interview Wednesday with the AP, Dr.
Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, sug-
gested that doing so would divert public-
health resources away from controlling an
outbreak of the virus. He said the CDC was
focused on nding and tracking anyone who
came in contact with Duncan after he began
showing symptoms.

Q: Wheredidthetraveler comefrom?
A: Liberia,thehardest-hit countryintheWest Africanepidemic.
The patient left Africa on Sept. 19 and ew to Brussels, then to
the Washington area and arrived the next day at the Dallas-
Fort Worth International Airport for a visit.
Q: Whendidthepatient get sick?
A: Last Wednesday.Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital said he
initially sought care late last Thursday night for fever and
abdominal pain. He told a nurse he traveled from Africa but
that information wasnt passed along,and he was released.He
returned Sunday by ambulance and admitted under strict
isolation.Tests conrmed Ebola on Tuesday.
Q: Howdoes Ebolaspread?
A: Onlythroughclosecontact withthebodilyuidsof someone
whohassymptoms,suchasfever,vomitinganddiarrhea.People
arent contagious until symptoms begin. And Ebola cannot
spread through the air.
Q: Howis Eboladiagnosed?
A: Someof thesymptomsof Ebolaaresimilar toother ailments;
a blood test is done to conrm an infection.Frieden explained
that tests done early may miss the virus.Even in the initial
phases of illness, when theyve got a fever, the most sensitive
tests in the world dont detect it because theres so little virus,
he said.
Q: Sowhosat risk?
A: Ofcialsaremonitoring12to18peoplewhomayhavebeen
in contact with the man, including three members of the
ambulance crew that transported him to the hospital and ve
schoolchildren. Ofcials will check them for symptoms every
day for 21 days.Thats how were going to break the chain of
transmission and thats where our focus has to be, Frieden
said.
Q: CouldEbolahavespreadontheairplane?
A:No,Frieden said,because the man wasnt sick then.The CDC
said there is no need to monitor anyone else on those ights
and didnt reveal ight information. United Airlines on
WednesdaysaidthemantookFlight 951toDullesInternational
Airport and Flight 822 to Dallas-Fort Worth.
Q: Couldtherebemoretravelers withEbola?
A:Noonesrulingit out.Peopleboardingplanesintheoutbreak
zone are checked for fever,but that does not guarantee that an
infected person wont get through. Airlines are required to
report any deaths on a ight or ill travelers meeting certain
criteria to the CDC before arriving in the U.S. If a traveler is
infectious or exhibiting symptoms during or after a ight, the
CDC will conduct an investigation of exposed travelers and
take any necessary public health action.
Q: What if Imworriedabout exposure?
A: Call the CDC for more information at 800-CDC-INFO (800-

Q&A about the U.S. Ebola case
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON Same-sex couples in 11
more states would win the right to marry,
but the issue would remain unsettled nation-
wide if the Supreme Court were to surprise
everyone and decline to take up gay mar-
riage right now.
A decision by the justices to reject calls
from all quarters to take up same-sex mar-
riage would lead to gay and lesbian unions
in 30 states and the District of Columbia, up
from 19 states.
Couples in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah,
Virginia and Wisconsin could begin getting
married almost immediately. Rulings in
their favor have been put on hold while the
Supreme Court considers their cases.
And if the high court leaves those rulings
in place, same-sex couples almost certainly
would win the right to marry in six other
states in short order because those states
Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, South
Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming
would be bound by the same appeals court
decisions.
But rejection of pending appeals by the
Supreme Court would leave untouched the
laws in the other 20 states that still enforce
same-sex marriage bans.
This affects peoples lives. Literally,
people are dying before they can get mar-
ried, said James Esseks, a gay rights expert
with the American Civil Liberties Union.
That is one reason that almost everyone
who follows the issue for a living or other-
wise thinks the Supreme Court will step in
and decide gay marriage cases this term. The
cases were on the agenda when the justices
met in private Monday to decide new cases
to hear this term. The court could announce
a decision as early as this week.
Both sides in the dispute also say the jus-
tices have an obligation to settle an issue of
such national importance, not abdicate that
responsibility to lower court judges. Opting
out of hearing the cases would leave those
lower court rulings in place.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to
be addressing that concern when she said in
July that the court would not duck the issue,
as it did for years with bans on interracial
marriage.

WASHINGTON Secret Service Director
Julia Pierson abruptly resigned Wednesday in
the face of multiple revelations of security
breaches, bumbling in her agency and rapidly
eroding condence that the president and his
family were being kept safe.
President Barack Obama concluded new
leadership of that agency was required, said
spokesman Josh Earnest.
High-ranking lawmakers from both parties
had urged her to step down after her poorly
received testimony to Congress a day earlier
and revelation of yet another security
problem: Obama had shared an elevator in
Atlanta last month with an armed guard who
was not authorized to be around him.
That appeared to be the last straw that crum-
bled trust in her leadership in the White
House. Earnest said Obama and his staff did
not learn about that breach until just before it
was made public in news reports Tuesday.
Today Julia Pierson, the director of the
United States Secret Service, offered her resig-
nation, and I accepted it, Homeland Security
Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement. He
announced that Joseph Clancy, retired head of
the agencys Presidential Protective
Division, would come out of retirement to
lead the Secret Service temporarily.
Taking further steps to restore trust in the
beleaguered agency, Johnson also outlined an
independent inquiry into the agencys opera-
tions.
That trust was shaken by a series of failures
in the agencys critical job of protecting the
president, including a breach Sept. 19, when a
knife-carrying man climbed over the White
House fence on Pennsylvania Avenue and
made it deep into the executive mansion
before being stopped.
Republicans quickly served notice that
Piersons resignation and the inquiry ordered
by Johnson would not end their investiga-
tion.
The Oversight Committee will continue to
examine clear and serious agency failures at
the Secret Service, said the panels chair-
man, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Obamas escalating military campaign in
Iraq and Syria has drowned out the econom-
ic pitch he hoped would help salvage a
midterm election that has been favoring
Republicans. But the airstrikes against
Islamic State extremists have also intro-
duced a new complicating factor into the fall
campaign, forcing both sides to reassess
their closing political messages.
Obama is drawing new attention to the
nations recovery from the Great Recession
with a speech Thursday at Northwestern
University, linking U.S. stature abroad to
economic strength at home. It is a delicate
argument for a president whose handling of
pocketbook issues remains unpopular and
who acknowledges many have not beneted
from the upturn.
Senior administration ofcials insist that
unlike George W. Bush in 2002, Obama
does not plan to make national security and
the threat of Middle East extremism the cen-
terpiece of his message for the homestretch
of the fall campaign. Yet they acknowledge
the matter will be impossible for Obama and
Democrats to ignore.
Youd like to be able to be talking about
the economy in September, but this is a
really important piece of business for the
president of the United States to do, said
Jennifer Palmieri, the White House commu-
nications director.
Obama seeks traction on economy amid foreign tests
es that may not thrill everybody, but at least
please people, Penrose said.
Don Prestosz, a retired high school
teacher, said his education in nance and
public administration could help manage
city funds. He also wants to address water use
through implementing wastewater irrigation
programs.
Finance is a big issue for me. I think were
spending money not wisely, Prestosz said.
I think [the council] micromanages some-
times. I see the City Council as a policy-
making body and the city staff should be car-
rying it out every day.
Harvey Rarback, director on the Coastside
Fire Protection District board, said he saved
taxpayers millions of dollars by contracting
with the California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, and wants to
use his experience in a more inuential posi-
tion.
Im doing something I think is more
important, and that is to change the direction
of City Council because, among other
things, theyre very wasteful of our money,
and thats taxpayer money, Rarback said.
Deborah Ruddock, who served on the coun-
cil from 1992 to 2003, said elected ofcials
have a duty to follow governmental proce-
dures, be more attentive to the public and
produce a transparent budget.
Im concerned about an approach to run-
ning the city, an attitude if you will, that I
have found not to be as thoughtful as it
should, to be dismissive of concerns and the
decision-making process insular, Ruddock
said.
David Eblovi, a ve-year Half Moon Bay
resident, opted not to participate in the Daily
Journal endorsement interview process.
Alifano said the city needs representatives
that care about the coast and will make deci-
sions aimed to heal the division among the
community.
The reason I ran [previously] was to try to
ensure that responsible people were making
the right decisions for our community and
the same things holds true to today, Alifano
said. You cant run for city ofce if you have
a personal agenda, ... thats not fair to the
city.
Alifano and Kowalczyk said they helped
restore the citys nances and have projects
theyd like to see through.
I want to nish what we started. We turned
the city around from near nancial insolven-
cy to solid footing again, Kowalczyk said.
Kowalczyk said he wants to continue plans
to renovate parks and construct a new library.
Kowalczyk added hes concerned the citys
Latino population feels disenfranchised and
hell promote efforts to unite the diverse
constituency.
Recovering from
the Main Street Bridge
Following the June election when voters
opted to regain control on whether to replace
or repair the 100-year-old bridge leading into
downtown by approving Measure F, all of the
candidates agreed planning should have pro-
ceeded differently.
When part of the community became
adamant about preservation, the council
should have taken a step back, Alifano said.
Its one of those difcult things where as
youre civic leaders, you think youre going
down the right path and before you know it,
it becomes a cause. And its hard sometimes
when you get all this push back to say OK,
youre right. Were going to rethink this.
And thats what really should have hap-
pened, Alifano said.
Alifano and Kowalczyk stressed the coun-
cil acted with good intentions in considering
safety, funding and the advice of engineers.
When youre an elected ofcial, you have
to make a decision based on the data in front
of you ... and its difcult with high emo-
tions, Kowalczyk said. I think I also under-
estimated the value of the bridge to the com-
munity. They made that clear and I accept
that.
Penrose said she supported Measure F but
stayed out of the controversy. Now, its time
to evaluate the bridge and hopefully nd a
way to avoid disrupting Main Street busi-
nesses, Penrose said.
Prestosz said safety is top priority and he
voted against the citys and the citizens bal-
lot measures since neither side was fully
informed without proper testing.
It might be historic, but its old. Anyway
we do it, whether we x the bridge or build a
new one, we have to do it for future genera-
tions, Prestosz said.
Rarback and Ruddock said the city failed to
follow laws that govern historic structures
and wasted money by not testing the bridge
rst.
They should have asked for a forensic
analysis on whats wrong with the bridge,
Rarback said. Then, based on that analysis,
they should have decided the best way to
repair the bridge with the least impact on the
community.
Ruddock said shed like to see a peer review
committee oversee an independent evalua-
tion.
I think the way the bridge was handled
was somewhat emblematic of the councils
not listening to the public, Ruddock said.
Its also emblematic of the citys failure to
actually maintain its infrastructure.
Balancing growth and traffic
Ruddock said the city needs a comprehen-
sive approach to growth and trafc that
includes better intersections, synchronized
trafc signals, extended turn lanes and park-
ing lots from which visitors can take shut-
tles. Ruddock expressed concern over widen-
ing roads as accommodating more cars wont
reduce congestion.
Rarback agreed more roads is not the
answer and suggested communicating with
SamTrans for more frequent bus schedules and
possibly prohibiting people from crossing
State Route 92 near Lemos and Pastorino
farms where trafc congests on the week-
ends.
Prestosz said the state, county and city
need to be engaged and proposed better turn
lanes or crossings at Surfers Beach and Sams
Chowder House on Highway 1.
Penrose said more parking lots and shuttle
service could help during the weekend and the
citizens need to be involved.
Penrose, Rarback, Kowalczyk and Alifano
said working with the school district to rein-
state bus services would help by getting par-
ents off the road.
Kowalczyk and Alifano said its critical
the city coordinate with outside transit
agencies and participate in studies, as the
city must support tourism.
Kowalczyk suggested implementing
strategic turn lanes into neighborhoods as
well as promoting public transit in town and
for commuters.
Alifano said extending merge lanes would
address areas that bottleneck during trafc
times, such as near nurseries, pumpkin
patches and entertainment facilities on State
Route 92.
Continuing to improve
Alifano said the citys nances and credit
score have improved. The council must con-
tinue to balance hiring qualied staff versus
contracting when appropriate. The city must
encourage the formation of new businesses
and focus on sustainability such as using
recycled water for golf courses, he added.
After the death of Yanira Serrano, who was
shot by a sheriffs deputy in June,
Kowalczyk said he heard concerns from com-
munity members and plans to engage the
Latino constituency through an advisory
council and consider hiring an outreach coor-
dinator. Kowalczyk said he also wants to
solidify projects like improvements to Mac
Dutra Park, construct a new skate park and
build a new library.
Ruddock said shed like to diversify the
citys housing stock with apartments and
more affordable units, possibly downtown,
as well as ease property owners ability to
expand their homes.
Penrose agreed, adding the citys building
and permitting process is laborious. Both
said encouraging local businesses to move to
Half Moon Bay is also vital.
Penrose, Rarback and Ruddock shared frus-
tration about the city saddling property own-
ers with sidewalk liability and failing to ade-
quately communicate the new law to the pub-
lic. All stressed the need for a council thats
responsive to the community.
With the city working on updating its
General Plan and Local Coastal Program,
Rarback said the November election will
have a lasting effect.
Thats in the tenure of the City Council,
Rarback said. Thats going to inuence
what Half Moon Bay is going to look like in
25 years and its really important we head in
the right direction.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Orange County Register
G
ov. Jerry Brown signed legisla-
tion last week prohibiting the
sterilization of state prisoners
without their consent. In a reection of the
sorry state of Californias prison system,
prison health providers have sterilized
dozens of female inmates without consent.
It is a disgrace that the reproductive abili-
ties of these women were taken from them
due to the negligence of government enti-
ties that are supposed to know what theyre
doing.
The legislation was prompted by allega-
tions of nonconsensual sterilizations rst
raised by the nonprot Center for
Investigative Reporting.
Next came a June 2014 state audit report,
which concluded that, during the scal
years 2005-06 and 2012-13, approximate-
ly 144 female inmates were sterilized. Of
them, auditors found that 39 were improp-
erly sterilized without lawfully providing
consent. In 19 cases, neither the
California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation nor the California
Correctional Health Care Services ensured
that the informed consequent requirements
were followed ... in which their employees
obtained inmates consent.
The auditors noted that the true number
of inmates improperly sterilized may be
higher. The auditors noted that one hospi-
tal had destroyed records pursuant to its
records retention policy.
It is troubling that, despite the layers of
bureaucracy overseeing the state prisons,
so many women have been wrongly
deprived of the ability to have children. In
addition to the state corrections depart-
ment, the federal government has appoint-
ed an expert to oversee and direct reforms
in how medical care is delivered in the state
prison system.
The federal intervention followed years
of lawsuits culminating in a nding that
medical care in the crowded prison system
failed to meet constitutional standards.
The consistent failure of government
employees to ensure that women consented
to a life-changing procedure hopefully will
be corrected by the new state legislation.
However, in the bigger picture, it is clear
that the state of California must look for
ways to ensure that correctional health
services arent so bureaucratized that they
hinder, rather than facilitate, proper health
services.
Reply to Measure N
San Bruno endorsement
Editor,
I am the primary author of the argument
against Measure N of San Bruno. I
thought the Daily Journal endorsement
supporting Measure N brought up a lot of
fair points; I just wanted to contribute
some additional thoughts I think were
missed.
Measure N to amend Ordinance 1284 is
not an absolute requirement to have
height restrictions lifted I am of the
understanding that a waiver was granted to
the condominium development across the
street from the Shops at Tanforan. What
Measure N does undoubtedly is relax and
speed up the Planning Commission
process for those targeted areas without a
waiver necessary for better or worse,
depending on your perspective of the
issue.
The Plan San Bruno packages include
revenue enhancement options that will
undoubtedly be considered once Measure
N is approved, which includes considera-
tions for special assessment districts,
various taxes and other strategies that
will pay for the downtown San Bruno
improvements.
Certainly, as the endorsement states,
nothing is guaranteed I just present
food for thought for the residents of San
Bruno. I still stand behind my argument
against the measure and feel if height
restrictions were the issue, Ordinance
1284 should be repealed. The ordinance
was the issue that limited San Brunos
growth in the first place. The Planning
Commission still can exert significant
influence in development regardless of
the ordinance in place.
Thank you San Mateo Daily Journal for
considering both sides of the proposal.
Its up to San Bruno residents to decide
now.

Victim of judicial overreaching
Editor,
The court decision pertaining to the road
to Martins Beach abundantly demon-
strates a total lack of law understanding
(Judge rules for beach access in the Sept.
25 edition of the Daily Journal).
If a man erects a gate on his property to
keep villains, strangers or the public from
disturbing his peace, that is his lawful
right under any law. The court decided, that
if a property owner fails to ask permission
to erect a gate from a government agency,
he or she loses the right to keep the vil-
lains, strangers and/or public from using
or crossing his property.
This decision is absurd. San Mateo
County citizens should be irate. From the
beginning, the envious plaintiffs have
demonized Mr. Khosla, the innocent
property owner, by constantly referring
to his wealth. What if the property owner
happened to be a poor dirt farmer who
felt that the beach crowd was interfering
with his desire to live peacefully on his
property? Suppose this farmer was tired
of the hassle of collecting fees from
those who willingly paid to pass over his
property to reach a beach. The problems
of maintaining his private road for oth-
ers, the debris cleanup, providing rest-
rooms and the payment of premiums for
liability insurance to protect himself
from lawsuits are all good reasons for the
farmer to close this area with a gate.
Remember that this is a private road to
the beach. In this case, the property owner
needed no permission or excuse from any-
one to decide to close his property to the
public. If I were a property owner within
the coastal zone, I would be lost as to how
to protect myself from activists. Who
would ever think that one would be com-
pelled to ask the Coastal Commission for
permission to put up a gate? Or is this a
case, where for the rst time, a citizen
nds himself a victim of judicial over-
reaching?

Lets listen to Israel
Editor,
President Obama said to the United
Nations that too many Israelis are ready
to abandon peace. There are reasons to do
so.
Hamas controls Gaza. Hamas might take
control of the West Bank Palestinians by
election or by force, and Hamas are terror-
ists who want Israel destroyed.
The U.S. Department of State said
President Abbas speech to the United
Nations included offensive characteriza-
tion that were deeply disappointing and
which we reject. He once again showed
his hatred for Israel. Israel cannot approve
creating a Palestinian state with the pres-
ent Palestinian leaders; they can only
approve it if there are new peaceful leaders
in the future.
President Obama should better under-
stand Israel, now that he said ISIS is not a
state, and he has ordered the U.S. Air Force
to attack ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Out of order
U
sed to be the most eyebrow-rais-
ing thing at restaurants were the
alarming calorie counts posted
next to the menu items. But step aside
artery-clogging super-sized burgers, mys-
tery meat buried under secret sauce and
wonders of molecular gastronomy. There
are some new kids on the freaky food
block.
The rst newcomer might be legitimate-
ly marketed as health food. After all, the
pizza sauce from Podey Pizza is labeled
contains med-
ical cannabis.
Thats right.
Have your
weed and your
munchies all
in one with
this $20 jar
now available
at marijuana
dispensaries in
the United
States. Each
jar contains a
300 mg dose
enough for one large pizza and a
company employee was quoted in news
reports about the new edible as saying that
about three slices is good to be fully med-
icated. Gives new meaning to the term
pizza joint. And why not? Not every-
body likes brownies.
Over in China, one restaurateur upped
the drug ante by lacing his trademark noo-
dles with opium so that customers would
keep coming back for more. Guess that
beats that college trick of elevating ramen
by scrambling in an egg.
After a customer tested positive for the
drug during a trafc stop, the shop owner
nally admitted how he got his supposed
edge. He had been grinding poppy buds in
the food to make it criminally good.
Unfortunately for him and maybe his
customers his plan actually failed
because tests showed that the quantity used
was not enough to be habit forming.
Other chefs are spicing up their dish not
with drugs but with a hefty dose of sex
appeal. Or, rather what they might think is
sexy but is in actuality a turnoff. How else
do you describe a recipe book entitled
Condom Meals I Want to Make For You.
Thats right. The chef author uses actual
contraceptives as cooking devices to cre-
ate such delicacies as and I quote
condom snails cooked with butter, condom
cookies and condom meat stufng.
Whos hungry now?
The chef says the book promotes safe
sex and demonstrates condoms durabili-
t y. Just leave a few for after the meal.
Over in Copenhagen, a burger restaurant
is selling adult toys and products along-
side its food. What else can you expect
from a place called Hot Buns? From the
description of hot pants-clad waitresses,
the restaurant sound like the Danish equiv-
alent of Hooters so it isnt all that surpris-
ing to hear it is putting the two vices
together. Its not exactly El Bulli were
talking about.
The owner says on Friday and Saturday
nights those are the only two things peo-
ple want. Probably true. But still does any-
one really want the same spud technician
grabbing ones food to also be picking out
the right adult gizmo?
Of course, they could be on to some-
thing. The best toy one can hope for here
stateside is some sort of Frozen-themed
gadget tucked in a Happy Meal. Maybe the
American restaurant industry should stop
being so prudish. After all, theres already
a fast food chain with an appropriate name
for such a saucy tie-in: In-and-Out.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK Financial markets
got off to a rough start in October as
disappointing economic news and
Ebola fears drove stocks lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slumped more than 200 points
Wednesday, the rst day of trading in a
month known for big market swings.
Nervous investors shifted their money
to havens like bonds and gold.
At first U.S. stocks were driven
lower by word that German manufac-
turing had slowed last month. The
selling accelerated after a separate sur-
vey indicated U.S. manufacturing
slowed as well.
A lot of people thought this eco-
nomic data was going to be robust, so
when it was weak, everyone moved to
reposition, said Tom di Galoma, head
of rates and credit trading at ED&F
Man Capital.
Investors also were skittish follow-
ing news that the rst case of Ebola
had been diagnosed in the U.S. They
dumped airlines on concerns that trav-
el will decline and bought a handful of
drug companies working on experi-
mental treatments for the deadly dis-
ease.
The blue chip Dow index lost
238.19 points, or 1.4 percent, to
16, 804. 71. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 26.13 points, or 1.3
percent, to 1,946.16 and the Nasdaq
composite lost 71.30 points, or 1.6
percent, to 4,422.09.
The declines follow a weak perform-
ance in September, just the third
monthly loss for the stock market this
year. Geopolitical worries, a weaken-
ing European economy and the
prospect of higher interest rates have
weighed on stocks, even though cor-
porate earnings and the economic out-
look remain healthy in the U.S.
The report that set off most of the
selling in the U.S. was the Institute
for Supply Managements monthly
manufacturing survey, one of the more
closely watched economic indicators
that investors look for each month.
The ISM index came in at 56.6, below
the 58.5 economists expected.
In Germany, Markit reported that
manufacturing contracted in
September, the latest sign that Europe
is being affected by the economic
sanctions on Russia. It was the rst
slowdown in 15 months.
The report came a day before Naples,
Italy hosts the European Central
Banks latest policy meeting.
Investors will follow closely what
ECB President Mario Draghi says
about possible stimulus from the cen-
tral bank following recent weak eco-
nomic news in Europe.
In European markets, Germanys
DAX finished 1 percent lower,
Frances CAC 40 lost 1.2 percent and
the U.K.s FTSE 100 ended down 1
percent.
Were in a global economy these
days, and U.S. companies get a lot of
their revenue and earnings from out-
side the U.S., said Matthew Rubin,
director of investment strategy at
Neuberger Berman. Investors have
valid concerns that the European
slowdown could hit companies bot-
tom line.
Traders moved quickly into U.S.
government bonds. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note dropped to 2.39
percent from 2.49 percent late
Tuesday, a big move. Gold prices rose
$3.90, or 0.3 percent, to $1,215.50
an ounce.
Utility stocks, which investors
favor during times of volatility
because of their higher-than-average
dividends, were among the few that
rose Wednesday. The Dow Jones utili-
ty index, a collection of 15 utility
companies, increased 0.4 percent.
Investors are looking ahead to
Friday, when the U.S. government
will release the monthly job gures.
Economists are expecting that
employers added 215,000 workers last
month and no change in the unem-
ployment rate, which stands at 6.1
percent.
Stocks start October with a drop
Facebook apologizes
to drag queens for name policy
NEWYORK Facebook is apologizing to drag queens
and the transgender community for deleting accounts that
used drag names like Lil Miss Hot Mess rather than legal
names such as Bob Smith.
The worlds biggest online social network caught heat
recently when it deleted several hundred accounts belong-
ing to self-described drag queens, other performers and
members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community. Facebook has long required its users to go
by their real names on the site for security purposes, to
stand out from other social networks and so it can better
target advertising to people. Now, the company says the
spirit of its policy doesnt mean a persons legal name
but the authentic name they use in real life.
For Sister Roma, thats Sister Roma. For Lil Miss Hot
Mess, thats Lil Miss Hot Mess, Chris Cox, Facebooks
vice president of product wrote in a blog post Wednesday.
General Mills plans to cut about 700 to 800 jobs
NEW YORK General Mills plans to cut approxi-
mately 700 to 800 jobs, the second time its trimmed its
work force in a month, as the food company adjusts for a
shift by U.S. consumers away from boxed or frozen
meals.
The Minneapolis company that owns Betty Crocker
and Green Giant brands said in a regulatory ling that the
job cuts will take place mostly in the U.S. It expects
about $135 million to $160 million in restructuring
charges and foresees annual cost savings of approxi-
mately $125 million to $150 million, starting in scal
2016.
General Mills Inc. anticipates the current restructuring
to be completed by scal 2015s end.
Business briefs
By Dee-Ann Durbin
and Tom Krisher
DETROIT Big discounts on pickup
trucks kept U.S. auto sales strong in
September.
General Motors Co. and Chrysler
Group led the industry with 19-percent
sales increases over last September.
Toyota sales rose 2 percent; Ford and
Volkswagen were down.
U.S. sales rose 9 percent to 1.2 mil-
lion cars and trucks, according to
Autodata Corp. The sales pace slowed
after a blistering August, which was the
best month for the industry in eight
years. But Septembers annualized pace
of 16.4 million vehicles down from
17.5 million in August is closer to
what analysts are predicting for the full
year.
While August was fueled by Labor
Day promotions and incentives on mid-
size cars, September saw good deals on
pickup trucks. Chevrolet was advertis-
ing up to $8,500 off the price of a crew
cab Silverado with a trade-in, while
Chryslers Ram was offering zero-per-
cent interest.
The second half of the year is usually
stronger for pickup sales, and stable
gas prices, employment gains and
higher consumer condence have more
people shopping for trucks, automak-
ers said.
But GM and Chrysler were also hop-
ing to take advantage of Ford, which
has temporarily closed a truck factory
to retool for its new aluminum-clad F-
150. Ford cut back on discounts in order
to keep more trucks in stock during the
shutdown. As a result, GM said its light-
duty Silverado outsold Fords F-150 for
the rst month since 2011, and for only
the second time in the last ve years.
Pickup truck owners are the most
loyal in the industry, but they also have
come to expect big discounts, said
Larry Dominique, president of the ALG
auto forecasting rm. Full-size truck
buyers may spend their entire annual
income on a truck, Dominique said, so
theyre sensitive to price.
Truck deals boost September U.S. auto sales
By Tom Krisher
MILFORD, Mich. General Motors
CEO Mary Barra told investors
Wednesday that GM plans a raft of new
models and a big push to sell more cars
in China to drive prots in coming
years, as the biggest U.S. automaker
tries to shift the spotlight from a mis-
handled recall of older small cars.
Barra needed to reassure investors
that GM has a strong plan going for-
ward. The stock has dropped about 18
percent this year. It rose 1.7 percent in

GM recalled 2.6 million small cars
worldwide earlier this year to x faulty
ignition switches that are now blamed
for at least 23 deaths nationwide. Barra
said suppliers have built all the
replacement switches, but only about
1.2 million small cars have had the
repairs so far.
GM has admitted knowing about
the problem for a decade, but only
recalled the cars this year. The
switches can cause the engine to
stall, deactivating the air bags.
Barra said GM still expects to pay
out $400 million to $600 million to
compensate ignition switch crash vic-
tims. The company has hired compen-
sation expert Kenneth Feinberg to pay
victims. He made his rst offers last
week.
The plan Barra outlined Wednesday
emphasizes growth in China. GM
plans to invest $14 billion through
2018, including five new assembly
plants to support estimated sales of
about 5 million per year.

As Notre Dame-Belmont hitter Katie
Smoot set up for an attack, Tigers coach
Jennifer Agresti calmly told her, Hit it.
Smoot swung through the ball, sent is
screaming toward a Presentation defender
who dug it up, but sent it sailing out of
bounds.
And just like that, Notre Dame-Belmont
(1-0 WCAL, 12-0 overall) erased three years
of frustration as the Tigers beat the Panthers
in ve sets in the 2014 WCAL opener: 25-
18, 20-25, 20-25, 26-24, 15-11.
It is the Tigers first West Catholic
Athletic League win in three years. Their
last WCAL win came Oct. 6, 2012 a 3-2
decision over Valley Christian.
We worked so hard for this, said Notre
Dame senior Maggie McDonald, one of two
Tigers co-captains. We had to get this win
for us, for our coach, for Notre Dame-
Belmont, to give us some street cred.
The Tigers, however, were this close to
seeing their WCAL 15-match losing streak
extended as things started to fall apart for
them in Game 4. Down 2-1 in sets, Notre
Dame was trailing 16-11 and having a hard
time in all aspects of the game passing,
setting and hitting.
Our passing broke down and our setter
struggled, Agresti said.
The frustration began to show and Agresti
called timeout. The minute-long pep talk
paid off as the Tigers turned things around.
They went on an 8-2 run to tie the game at
19.
They eventually took a 22-20 lead before
Presentation pushed back, winning three of
the next four points to tie the game at 23
and when an attack by the Panthers fell
between a pair of Tiger defenders, the
Panthers were one point away from closing
out the match.
Presentations serve on match point,
Tigers win first WCAL match since 2012

PITTSBURGH Brandon Crawford gured
the San Francisco Giants needed one run, maybe
two, the way ace Madison Bumgarner was deal-
ing.
A grand slam provided all that and more,
silencing a revved-up crowd and propelling San
Francisco into the meat of the playoffs.
Streaking in May and slumping in September,
the Giants are back to their old resilient selves
in October.
Hey, its what they do this time of year.
Crawfords slam off Edinson Volquez in the
fourth inning led the Giants to an 8-0 victory
over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National
League wild-card game Wednesday night, send-
ing San Francisco on to Washington for the
best-of-ve Division Series starting Friday.
We thrive in these situations, Crawford said.
I dont know what it is. We just keep ghting
no matter what the circumstance.
The Giants won their eighth consecutive
postseason game and seventh straight with their
season on the line, a streak that dates back to
their run to a World Series title in 2012. While
much work remains before they can start think-
ing about the franchises eighth championship,
there was certainly a familiar feeling at PNC
Park as San Francisco dismantled the Pirates.
Weve been through it before, a lot of this
team has, Brandon Belt said. We used that
experience tonight. We know when we get in
these situations were going to have a good ball-
club.
Particularly when Bumgarner is on the mound.
He tossed a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts, need-
ing 109 pitches to put a quick end to
Pittsburghs second straight playoff appear-
ance.
Mixing his fastball with a slider and curve the
Pirates rarely touched, Bumgarner was in com-
plete control and looked very much like the ace
who won 18 games during San Franciscos
bumpy regular season.

hen Sacred Heart Prep football
coach Pete Lavorato arrived in
Atherton to take over the foot-
ball program in 2003, the Gators were
hardly a juggernaut.
Heres what I thought: great school,
but I knew it would take some time (to
build a program), Lavorato said. The
kids were great, but the program itself
was what I would call a rec program.
Fast forward 12 years and the Gators are
now among the elite
in the Central Coast
Section.
As is Lavorato,
who picked up his
100th win with
Sacred Heart Prep
following a 35-21
win over Kings
Academy last
Saturday to improve
to 4-0 in 2014.
You wont, howev-
er, nd Lavorato

patting himself on the back.
I think its a testament to more than
me, its a testament to the kids who have
been through the school. All those
kids who have come through (the pro-
gram) have been a part of the process.
Its a testament to them, its a testament
to the coaching staff, Lavorato said.
Lavorato passed the 100-win plateau as
a coach years ago, as he has served as the
head man at Gilroy for three seasons
before spending 11 years coaching in
Canada as both a high school coach, as
well as college and pro assistant.
Anative Canadian, Lavorato spent 10

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith arrived in
San Francisco with the pressure of being the
No. 1 overall draft pick. He got called a draft
bust, then turned the tide to win back those
same fans who had booed him out of
Candlestick Park.
Smith got hurt, bounced back, started and
was benched, then regained his job and lost
it once more. All the while as he adjusted to
a new offensive coordinator and system
nearly every year.
Smith will be the rst
to say his up-and-down
tenure with the 49ers
hardly went how he
hoped when he left Utah
as the NFLs top choice in
2005. When he takes the
eld at Levis Stadium in
the other uniform Sunday
with Kansas City, there
will be mixed emotions
for everybody involved.
No bitterness at all, Smith said. What
happened there the end of the (2012) year,
losing my job, you get to that point and I
say this a lot, worrying about anything that
was outside your control and dwelling on
any of that stuff is only going to have a
negative impact.
He is coming off a statement game in a
41-14 Monday night win by the Chiefs (2-
2) against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Smith threw for 248 yards and three touch-
downs.
I cant wait to see him. Me and Alex came
in together, and Im so happy for him, said
running back Frank Gore, a staunch sup-
porter of Smith over the years. Hes doing
a great job. Weve got to go out there and try
to get a win. But Im happy for Alex and I
love him, man.
Smith considered leaving the Bay Area for
good after the 2010 season. He stuck
around, then in 2011 led teammates through
their own practices at nearby San Jose State
during the lockout.
He had unnished business, and then it
was time to go.
I felt like it was complete. I felt like we
had rebounded, Smith said. It took a lot

Caada head coach Rick Velasquez calls
this a rebuilding year, but the Colts are still
in the thick of the Central Valley
Conference mix, currently tied with Reedley
College for rst place with 21 points at the
halfway juncture of the season.
Last Thursday, Caada won in Conference
Tournament No. 6 by 14 strokes at
Hollisters Ridgemark Golf Course.
Freshman Miranda Wiss, out of Mercy-
Burlingame, medaled with a 79 on the par-
72 course. It is Wiss third medal of the sea-
son.
She really hits the ball a long way,
Velasquez said. Shes tall but she is really
consistent in the short game. Shes going
to be a really good golfer.
Velasquez knows about producing good
golfers. Six Caada alumnae are currently
playing at four-year schools, including
three from last years Northern California
champion team. Sarah Rotter is on scholar-
ship at Sonoma State; Shannon Wong is on
scholarship at Cal State Bakerseld; and
Michelle Wong, out of San Mateo High
School, is at Cal State East Bay. A fourth
from last years team, Laura Arrellano, is
nishing her associates degree at Caada
and plans to play at a four-year school next
season, Velasquez said.
Three 2012 Caada grads are also playing
as transfers. Annika Nousininan is at San
Diegos Point Loma Nazarene University;
the team twice shot a single-round school-
record 300 last week at the Western New
Mexico Invitational. Mehreen Raheel is
playing at Menlo College and Hannah
Murray is at Michigans Hope College.
Caada also competed Sunday and
Monday at the North/South Invitational at
Morro Bay Golf Course, taking sixth place
in the 17-team eld. Last season, Caada
won the tourney.
Next up for the Colts is Thursdays
Conference Tournament No. 7 hosted by
West Hills College in Leemore.
Volleyball
The Colts fell to Chabot in four sets
Wednesday to even up their record at 6-6.
Freshman setter Julie Ann Docena totaled
39 sets while Yasmin Crociani (El Camino)
had a team-high nine kills and Ariel
Magnum (Aragon) had 22 digs.
The Colts were coming off a sweep of
Monterey Peninsula last Friday. Up next,
they open Coast Conference South play
after a two-week sabbatical at Ohlone on
Oct. 15.
Mens soccer
The Colts dropped their Coast Conference
Central opener Tuesday with a 1-0 loss to
Hartnell.
Caada freshman goalkeeper Carl
Rodriguez, a Serra graduate, matched a
career-high with eight saves. With the score
tied 0-0, however, Hartnells Julio Varela-
Serrite scored a goal off an assist from Luis
Orendain in the 65th minute. The Colts
managed just two shots on goal in the con-
test.
With the loss, Caada has lost six
straight and falls to 1-6 overall. The Colts
host Chabot Friday at 2 p.m.
College of San Mateo
Womens Water Polo
Coming off their rst winning streak of
the season with two straight wins, the
Bulldogs (3-5) host the CSM Mini
Tournament Saturday. CSM will play a twin-
bill against a pair of teams from the power-
house Big 8 Conference, facing Sacramento
City (2-3) at 10 a.m. followed by Sierra (3-
3) at 2:40 p.m.
Then with Coast Conference play starting
next Tuesday at Foothill (4-2), followed by
a trip to West Valley (4-4) Wednesday, the
Bulldogs will look to put themselves on the
map early for on of the four available post-
season spots. CSM last qualied for the
playoffs as the Northern California wild
card in 2012, before being dismissed in the
rst round by American River.
Sierra and West Valley, those are two
teams that are just one step ahead of us,
CSM head coach Randy Wright said. It
would be nice to move up the chart in terms
of competitiveness and getting the job
done.
The Bulldogs got rolling at Cabrillo for
the Bockman Memorial Tournament last
Friday and Saturday. After falling to Cuesta
11-2, CSM tabbed two straight wins with a
14-12 victory over Modesto Friday, fol-
lowed by the Bulldogs most productive
offensive output with a 17-9 win over
Pasadena Saturday.
CSM got goals from six different players
in each of the two victories, including the
teams season high of seven goals from
freshman sensation Tayler OConnor
against Pasadena. Sophomore driver Shelby
Chung added four goals and seven assists.
Teams are going to start to center around
Tayler and Shelby, so the other girls are
going to have their openings now that the
teams are focusing on those two players,
Wright said. So, its imperative those
other players step up.
Coast Conference play will go by like a
bullet, as the schedule consists of just six
matches, concluding Oct. 29 against
Cabrillo.
The season is fast, Wright said. I tell
that to the girls every year. Live for every
day and make the most out of each moment
because in the blink of an eye, this thing is
over.
Skyline College
Womens soccer
In their only match over a 10-day span,
the Trojans fell 3-2 to Cabrillo in a non-
conference matchup last Friday at Skyline
College. Skyline jumped out to an early lead
with a goal by Melissa Escamillia on an
assist from Deandra Thomas in the 13th
minute. Cabrillo rattled off three straight
goals though. Tied at 1-1, the Seahawks got
two scores from Leslie Calixto in the 32nd
and the 61st minute, respectively. Thomas
netted a goal in the 75th minute on an assist
from Iliana Cabral for Skyline.
The Trojans (2-0 in Coast Conference
North, 6-4 overall) are currently tied atop
the Coast Conference North with Ohlone (2-
0, 4-4). Skyline resumes play Oct. 7, host-
ing City College of San Francisco in a con-
ference match at 1 p.m.
Volleyball
The Trojans tabbed win No. 10 on the sea-
son with a sweep of Monterey Peninsula
Wednesday night, 25-21, 25-21, 25-16.
Makaia Best and Sahara Clay (Oceana)
totaled a team-high 10 kills apiece. Trista
Laeha had 21 digs and setter Kimberley Tang
had 22 assists.
With the win, Skyline improves to 10-6
on the season. Last Friday, Skyline split a
pair of matches with a sweep of Shasta and a
3-1 loss to Butte. Best has recorded 39 kills
over her last three games.
Judy Viduya (El Camino) suffered a knee

Community college roundup
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Support his big moves or not,
Billy Beane made one thing perfectly clear: The
Oakland Athleticsseason probably would have
ended sooner without Jon Lester a part of it.
Oakland had the man on the mound it traded
for to shine in these very moments, and the As
summed up their topsy-turvy season in a single
game, over a span of innings and extra
innings.
Aroster of tired, banged-up bodies that owned
baseballs best record as recently as mid-August
and stumbled through September is now headed
into the offseason after a 9-8, 12-inning loss to
the Kansas City Royals in Tuesdays wild-card
game.
Beane went all in on July 31, dealing slug-
ging left elder Yoenis Cespedes to the Boston
Red Sox for Lester, the veteran left-hander who
seemed poised to pitch his team into the divi-
sion series before Oakland collapsed once more
late this season.
Simply put, if we dont have Jon Lester, I
dont think we make the playoffs, Beane said
Wednesday as players packed up their belong-
ings in a quiet clubhouse.
The small-budget As beat out the big
spenders in the Lester sweepstakes. Then
Wednesday, Beane bid Lester a likely farewell as
he heads off for a big-money contract else-
where.
An offense that had been prolic to that point
almost immediately went into a long funk,
sparking questions and scrutiny about Beanes
decision to part ways with someone as dynamic
in the middle of the order as Cespedes, the two-
time reigning Home Run Derby champ. The
Cuban defector signed a $36 million, four-year
contract before the 2012 season.
Manager Bob Melvin handed the ball to
Lester on Tuesday with the season on the line
and Oakland built him a nice lead that appeared
would be plenty, and the recent struggles might
all be forgotten as things started fresh. Yet that
7-3 cushion wouldnt last against a determined
Royals team, a starved franchise and fan base
celebrating the organizations rst playoffs
since 1985.
The As went 88-74 to get back to the play-
offs, failing to stay with the red-hot Angels
down the stretch after Oakland won the previous
two ALWest crowns.
Amicrocosm of that game was a microcosm
of our year, theres some truth to that, Melvin
said.
The September collapse bafed all involved,
Melvin and his players alike were regularly at a
loss for words in describing the various ways
they were failing to come through or, like
Tuesday night and some many others recently,
to nish off an opponent when the opportunity
arose.

OAKLAND Andrew Bogut saw Marreese
Speights driving to the rim during a pickup
game at the Golden State Warriors practice
facility a couple weeks ago and never sec-
ond-guessed what to do next.
Bogut moved in Speights path, held his
position and took a charge.
Im not going to change the way I play,
Bogut said. The way I play is I take
charges, I block shots, I set hard screens.
Unfortunately, we dont wear padding or
anything like that, and every now and then
were going to get a knock.
Golden States center and big difference
maker has taken more than a few knocks in
his career. Hes healthy again for training
camp, and he knows that the Warriors will
need him to stay that way to contend for
anything this season.
The fractured rib that sidelined him for the
rst-round loss to the Los Angeles Clippers
is healed, he said, but the mental anguish
of missing the playoffs has left another
kind of scar.
Since Milwaukee made him the No. 1
overall pick in the 2005 draft, Boguts
injuries include a dislocated right elbow,
broken right hand, sprained right wrist,
broken left ankle and
fractured rib. He also has
battled back discomfort on occasion.
Bogut has never been bothered by those
who believe hes injury prone. The only
thing that bugs Bogut is not being able to
play when his teammates need him most.
The 7-foot Australian center said he did
everything he could to return sooner from
his latest freak injury, which started after
he took a hit against Denver and worsened
when he was sandwiched by two Portland
defenders a few days later. He said he had
trouble breathing and could barely move,
let alone battle Blake Grifn and DeAndre
Jordan under the basket.
Bogut popped pain-killing pills and laid
on his stomach for nearly 24 hours a day
following the fracture. He had a rib-protect-
ing vest made in case he could return, but he
was unable to even sit on the bench.
Bogut said the rib might have calcied
enough for him to play at some point in the
second round had the Warriors advanced.
Instead, they lost in a decisive Game 7
against a Clippers team that controlled the
paint.
I did everything like I was going to play.
But in reality, Id rather be called soft and
injury prone by every fan, blogger and
media person out there than puncture my
lung, Bogut said. Because they wouldnt
be sending me a get-well card when Im in
the hospital.
When Bogut has played, he has played
well.
He dominated down low to propel the
Warriors to the second round of the playoffs
two seasons ago, even while nursing a sore
left ankle that had him limping out of the
locker room each time. He played 67 of 82
games last season, averaging 10 rebounds,
7.3 points and 1.7 assists.
But his biggest impact has come on
defense. Bogut has ranked among the NBAs
best in defensive ratings and is the primary
reason a franchise long known for offense
has been transformed into a defensive
leader, which makes the times he injured so
difcult to overcome.
Its having one of the best defensive cen-
ters in the league there versus not having
him there. Its daylight and darkness,
Warriors forward Harrison Barnes said.
When hes healthy, he can pass, he can
move. It just changes our whole dynamic.
Unlike during Mark Jacksons tenure, new
Warriors coach Steve Kerr is leaning on
Bogut to be a focal point on both sides of
the oor.
During a visit to Australia this summer,
Kerr brought a video that featured clips of
offensive plays for Bogut. Some highlights
were from Boguts time in Milwaukee.
Others came from Kerrs days playing in the
triangle offense for Phil Jacksons Chicago
Bulls in the 1990s, when another Australian
center, Luc Longley, often helped initiate
the offense.
Andrews one of the best passing centers
in the league. Hes one of the best Ive ever
seen, and so for us to get him the ball on the
elbows as a dribble-handoff guy, backdoor-
pass guy, that will be emphasized, Kerr
said.
Warriors Bogut hoping for a healthy season

Andrew Bogut,Warriors center on
broken rib that kept him out of playoffs last season
If you dont want to pitch in these games,
you probably need to nd something else to
do, he said.
No chance of that for Bumgarner or the rest of
a roster that ourishes once the calendar ips
past September. Crawfords grand slam was the
rst in postseason history by a shortstop
and he wasnt aiming for the fences.
With the bases loaded in the fourth and
nobody out in a scoreless game, Crawford
turned on Volquezs hanging breaking ball and
sent it to right. Pittsburghs Travis Snider wait-
ed to play it off the wall. He never got the
chance, instead slumping his shoulders as the
ball landed a couple of rows deep to give the
Giants a 4-0 lead that felt considerably larger.
I was in shock a little bit, Crawford said.
So were the Pirates, who never recovered.
One night after Kansas City edged Oakland in a
thrilling start to baseballs postseason, this
one was over by the middle innings.
Overpowering one of the NLs best lineups,
Bumgarner walked one and threw 79 strikes in
his latest stellar October performance. The big
left-hander, who allowed only four singles, has
thrown 15 scoreless innings in two World
Series starts.
We got outplayed tonight, Pittsburgh sec-
ond baseman Neil Walker said. Bumgarner
went out there, he did what he wanted to do. He
put up the strike zone and he made it tough on
us.
Belt drove in three runs as the Giants padded
the lead late. By then the black-clad crowd that
began the night in a frenzy was watching in dis-
mayed silence.
Weve been there before, Belt said. Its a
lot of fun when youre on the road. ... You know
youre doing something good when the crowd
goes silent.
Volquez was trying to cap his comeback sea-
son by sending Pittsburgh to the NLDS for the
second straight year, but he couldnt match
Bumgarner.
The right-hander cruised until the fourth,
when a pair of singles and a walk loaded the
bases with none out. Hed retired Crawford 19
of the 22 times hed faced him during his career.
Its the 24th that hell remember.
I tried to bounce it down, back foot, and the
ball just kept going, Volquez said. Bad spot.
That was more than enough for Bumgarner.
Pittsburgh, fourth in the majors in extra-base
hits this season, rarely hit the ball hard.
Bumgarner was helped by his defense, too.
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval all 245
pounds of him ipped over the railing in
front of the Pittsburgh dugout to track down a
foul popup off the bat of Russell Martin.
Sandoval landed on his feet, a perfect symbol
of San Franciscos seemingly endless resilien-
cy when October rolls around.
Back in the playoffs after winning the World
Series in 2010 and 2012, the Giants are look-
ing to continue their every-other-year success.
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was unable to
duplicate last years victory over Cincinnati in
the wild-card game that followed a 21-year
playoff drought. Playing before raucous crowds
at PNC Park, the Pirates pushed St. Louis to a
decisive Game 5 before losing their NLDS.
This year, Pittsburgh went 17-9 in
September while taking the Cardinals to the
nal day of the season in an attempt to win the
NLCentral.
There will be no extended playoff stay this
time after Crawfords grand slam, the fourth in
Giants postseason history.
Shortstop had been the only position
including pitcher without a slam in postsea-
son play.

American and Canadian versions of the
game, but as Lavorato
said: Football is foot-
ball. I coached my kids
in Canada the same as I
do now. The offense I
run now is the same
offense I ran back then.
During his time with
the Gators, Lavorato has
not had a losing record.
In fact, the closest he
has come was a 5-5 mark in 2006. He has
averaged eight wins a season since 2003
and Lavoratos teams have averaged 10.5
wins per season since the Gators entered
the Peninsula Athletic League for the 2008
season. With Lavorato at the helm, the
Gators have made four CCS championship
games, winning it all in 2010, 2012 and
2013.
Since 2008, the Gators have won 11 or
more games four times.
The guess is Lavorato wont stop at 100
wins either. While he doesnt know how
long he plans to keep coaching, he thinks
he knows when it will be time to leave, but
that seems to be a ways off.
As long as theyll have me and it
remains fun, Ill stick around, Lavorato
said.

Pete Lavorato
however, sailed wide and the
Tigers were given new life. Tammy
Byrne swung through an attack
that came straight back at her from
the Presentation block.
Well, not right back at her. The
ball oated just a little left and fell
just inches wide of the sideline to
give set point to the Tigers.
Unlike the Panthers, Notre
Dame did not squander it as a
Panthers hitting error gave the
Tigers the 26-24 win and force a
fth and deciding set.
I said (during a timeout) we
needed to bear down and simplify
the game, Agresti said. Im con-
stantly reminding them to relax.
Notre Dame maintained its
momentum in Game 5 as the Tigers
jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead
when the Panthers misfired on
three straight attacks.
Presentation settled down, how-
ever, and won ve of the next six
points to close to 8-6.
But a kill from Byrne, a
Presentation hitting error and a
service ace from McDonald pushed
Notre Dames lead to 11-6. The
Panthers got as close as 14-11
before Smoot ended things with
her 23rd kill of the match.
It was huge to come back and
get that (fourth) game, Agresti
said. It almost didnt happen.
The Tigers came out with lots of
energy to start the match. They
trailed only once in Game 1 1-0
and while they didnt steam roll
the Panthers, they did maintain a
lead most of the way on their way
to a 25-18 win.
The Panthers, however, stabi-
lized things in Game 2 and started
to take control of the match. There
were 15 ties in the second set, the
last coming at 17-all. But the
Panthers asserted themselves
down the stretch, winning eight of
the nal 11 points to tie the match
at one set apiece.
The Panthers kept the momen-
tum on their side in Game 3, build-
ing a lead of 19-13. Notre Dame
rallied a bit, winning six of the
next seven points to close to 21-
19. But Presentation held them at
bay, taking a 25-20 lead.
Presentation was poised to take
the match as it controlled Game 4
before the Tigers late-game surge.
We still have a lot of things to
work on, but Im extremely proud
of my team, Agresti said. They
did the two things I told them to
do: give 100 percent effort and
dont give up.

Wilt Chamberlain to
appear on postage stamp
PHILADELPHIA Wilt
Chamberlain has been cut down to
size. Wilt The Stilt is now Wilt The
Stamp.
The Hall of Famer and the only NBA
player to score 100 points in a game
is set to appear on a commemorative
U.S postage stamp. Chamberlain died
in 1999 at age 63.
The U.S. Postal Service and the
Philadelphia 76ers, with cooperation
from the NBA, will formally dedicate
the Wilt Chamberlain Forever stamps
in a halftime ceremony at a Dec. 5
game against Oklahoma City.
The stamps are just over 2 inches
tall. One is based on a photograph of
Chamberlain in a Philadelphia
Warriors uniform; the other is based
on an image of Chamberlain in a Los
Angeles Lakers uniform.
The word Wilt is featured in either
the top right or left corner of each
stamp.
The cause was started in 2008 by
sports writer Donald Hunt of The
Philadelphia Tribune, a 129-year-old
newspaper that primarily targets the
black community. Hunt believed The
Big Dipper had the credentials to
join Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth,
Joe Louis and Jesse Owens among the
sports legends with their own stamps.

TRANSACTIONS
longer than I thought, got the
organization back where it needed
to be.
That 2011 year, Smith rallied
his team from behind ve times,
including four away games, as the
Niners went 6-2 on the road. His
14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon
Davis with 9 seconds remaining in
the NFC division playoffs lifted
the 49ers to a 36-32 victory
against the favored Saints.
And Smith was rewarded with a
new three-year contract in March
2012 with the idea he would carry
the offense again. A concussion
and a strong-armed guy named
Colin changed all that.
Colin Kaepernick took over for
good in November and Smith
never regained his job even when
healthy. He was stung, angry at
times, and didnt agree with the
decision. But he kept his mouth
shut.
One of the classiest people Ive
ever been around, just an all-
around great guy. I dont think
anyone could have handled it any
better than he did, Kaepernick
said Wednesday. He definitely
made things go a lot smoother.
The way he handled things, he did-
nt turn it into a controversy in the
locker room. That just shows the
character he has not just as a play-
er but as a man.
Smith nds it funny this week
to be watching 49ers defensive
stars Justin Smith and Patrick
Willis on tape.
Defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula was among Smiths sup-
porters. It was Tomsula who start-
ed him over Troy Smith, which
made him a winner in a one-game
stint as interim head coach to end
the 2010 season after Mike
Singletary was red.
I have a tremendous amount of
respect for Alex Smith as a
man, a father, a husband, a person,
and a football player, Tomsula
said. I think hes extremely intel-
ligent, extremely gifted, I think
hes a winner. I dont have a nega-
tive about Alex Smith, I just really
think the world of him.
In 2011, Smith thrived under 15-
year quarterback-turned-first-year
NFL head coach Jim Harbaugh and
helped lead the franchise to its
rst postseason berth and winning
record in nine years.
Largely because of Smiths lead-
ership then, the 49ers have
emerged as a regular contender
again. He threw for 3,150 yards
and 17 touchdowns with only ve
interceptions in 2011 as arguably
the biggest surprise in San
Franciscos 13-3 run to its rst
division title since 2002.
We have great respect for his
game. Ive never seen Alex Smith
not be good, Harbaugh said. Im
sure that adds to it, adds to the
competitiveness the fact Alex did
play here. Very happy for his suc-
cess, not rooting for success for
him this week.
Andy Reid, who returned to
Philadelphia in his rst season
coaching the Chiefs last year,
offered his own insight to Smith.
What I did was I just ordered a
cheesesteak and went and
coached, Reid said. You elimi-
nate the clutter. You focus in on
what you do. All that stuff, going
home, that doesnt mean any-
thing.
SMITH
FALL RIVER, Mass. Lawyers
for ex-New England Patriot Aaron
Hernandez continued their effort
Wednesday to have cellphone evi-
dence thrown out, and a judge began
hearing testimony on what the
defense claims was an unlawful
interrogation of him at his home.
Judge E. Susan Garsh issued no
immediate ruling after considering
testimony over two days on whether
the seizure of the ex-players
BlackBerry was illegal.
The defense also maintains
Hernandez was unlawfully ques-
tioned while state police executed
search warrants at his North
Attleborough house. In a prior af-
davit, he said he felt helpless in the
face of the occupation of my house
by the police. He also said he wor-
ried what would happen to his
ancee and baby if he didn't answer
questions, though he had directed
police the day before to speak to his
lawyers.
Under questioning Wednesday in
Fall River Superior Court, state
police Sgt. Paul Baker said
Hernandez did not appear frightened
or raise any concerns about his fam-
ily when authorities arrived with the
warrants. He described the scene as
low key.
Hernandez, 24, has pleaded not
guilty to rst-degree murder in the
2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd,
a Boston semi-professional foot-
ball player who was dating the sister
of Hernandez's ancee.

Where fashion goes, decor follows.
And this fall, the fashionistas are
inspired by Scotland.
Plaid capes, kilts and coats hit the
fall 2014 catwalk for Saint Laurent and
Stella McCartney. Marchesa showed
tartan-printed lace, argyle and fur, and
deconstructed kilt patterns into a dress
collection. Brazilian label Animale
used Celtic and druid patterns, and shot
their ad campaign against a rocky,
Braveheart-esque background.
Maybe its Scotlands referendum on
independence thats drawn designers
attention.
If youre ready to add a little Highland
ing to your living space this season,
there are lots of options.
Rich woods, squooshy sofas, rubbed
bronze and landscape prints evoke the
Caledonian country manor. The look,
traditional and tasteful, can be dressed
up or down.
And modern interpretations also
abound, with oversize or edited classic
patterns, layering of aged items with
new, and playful versions of iconic
Scottish elements.
Scottish style is rich with clan tar-
tans and evocative motifs drawn from a
long and tempestuous history. The
color palettes equally rich: deep lichen
greens, rainy grays, cranberry, moat
blue, malt and butterscotch. In paints,
check out Devine Colors Oat, Thunder

Additions that make the
yard a winter hangout
By Diana Marszalek
As fun as summer at the lake is, Sue Vanderwiel and fami-
ly also make the most of their Apple River, Illinois, vaca-
tion home in the winter. Thats when it is much quieter, and
we can just hang out, play games and chill, literally and g-
uratively.
The family gathers around a big stone re pit (15 feet in
diameter) often with smores, hot chocolate and pepper-
mint schnapps for Mom and Dad even when those
Midwestern temperatures drop.
We have been out there with snow on the ground, the
Chicago-area resident says. Regardless of the season, we
stargaze and watch satellites travel across the sky.
Refusing to become shut-ins during the winter, many
homeowners are making their outdoor spaces warm and
comfy for year-round use. Builders cite increasing demand
from clients trying to maximize their homes potential by
adding everything from DIY ice rinks to elaborate outdoor
kitchens.
We are working harder, we are working longer hours, and
we dont necessarily want to get in the car and travel
through trafc on weekends, says landscape designer and
builder David Veron, owner of The Veron Company in
Marlborough, Massachusetts. People want to stay home
and make the most of their time there.
Making outdoor spaces usable in chillier months, Veron
says, requires only that they are comfortable (i.e. warm),
safe and pleasing to the eye.
Features that lend themselves to an activity cooking in
an outdoor pizza oven, sipping wine next to an outdoor re-
place or watching the kids play, for instance are a plus.
If youre warm and the space is visually appealing, thats
great. But what are you doing out there? Veron says.
You could easily spend tens (even hundreds) of thousands
of dollars on such projects how about that three-sided
kitchen with heated oors and ceilings? but there are also
cost-efcient ways to make outdoor space usable year-
round.
If youre a hockey fan, putting in a nice ice rink (which
costs around $400) and re pit (which start at about $500),
is absolutely a home run, Veron says. Youve just bought
another season.
Mike Marler, general manager of Outdoor Solutions, a
Jackson, Mississippi-area company that specializes in cre-
ating outdoor living areas, says there are also ways to warm
up structures. Most of the structures his company builds
include some sort of roof or walls pavilions, pool hous-
es or outdoor kitchens, for example. Installing roll-up shut-
ter or louvered doors helps keep the chill out, especially in
a relatively mild place like Mississippi, where winter tem-
peratures rarely dip below the 20-degree mark.
Were not trying to climate-control those spaces as much
as make them comfortable, he says.

SUBURBAN LIVING 21
By Lee Reich
The edges of woods in eastern North
America are occasionally redolent with a
sweet aroma reminiscent of jasmine. Wild
grapes, dangling in ripe clusters from low-
hanging vines, are what perfume the air.
That scent begs a taste which you
quickly discover pales by comparison with
the perfume. Wild grapes are downright
sour.
Now go to your grocers shelf and take a
deep whiff of the grapes there. Hardly a hint
of aroma, unless the grapes happen to be
Concord, a commercial variety that captures
the essence of our wild grapes. And
Concords berries are much larger and sweet-
er that their wild counterparts.
FOXY GRAPES
Concord is not the only grape variety that
captures that unique aroma known as
foxiness of wild grapes. But it is the
most common one. With its tough skin that
slips off to release a layer of sweetness, its
jellied esh and its foxy avor, Concord is
the archetypal American grape. Contrast it
with Thompson Seedless, whose mild a-
vor, sweetness, and crunchy esh are charac-
teristic of European, or vinifera, grapes.
No one is quite sure how the strong avor
of grapes like Concord came to be called
foxy. The term probably signied a cer-
Concord: Americas foxy
grape tastes good too
Among Concords qualities is its adaptability to varying soils and climates.

tain earthy aroma, or it might be that fox
grapes were called that because foxes
enjoyed them.
The chemical responsible for the aroma

Commercially, it has been used as a natural

MR. BULLS SUCCESS
The man we have to thank for Concord
grapes is Ephraim Bull, a retiring soul who
resided in Concord, Massachusetts, from
his birth in 1805 until his death in 1895.
He planted the seed that was to become
Concord in 1843; the vine bore its rst
fruits in 1849. That fruit was exhibited
before the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society in 1852, was introduced by a nurs-
ery in 1854 and the rest is, as they say, his-
tory.
By 1865, Concord was awarded a prize by
the American Institute of the City of New
York as the best grape for general cultiva-
tion. Horace Greeley, donor of the prize,
declared Concord the grape for the mil-
lions.
And planted by the millions it was.
Among Concords qualities is its adaptabil-
ity to varying soils and climates. Youll
find its vines growing in almost every
state, even California, where European
grapes thrive. For that matter, youll even
nd Concord planted in Europe, as a back-
yard variety.
And while we may pooh-pooh those
sweet wines made from Concord, they are
popular in Italy even though, or perhaps
because, it can be illegal there to sell
Fragolino, as wines made from American-
type grapes are called. (The legality is ques-
tionable and depends on just how the bottle
is labeled.)
EASIER TO GROW
Concord and some other American grapes
got a foothold in Europe after diseases and
insects almost wiped out the European grape
industry. These pests actually came from
here, hitch-hiking over on American grapes
that were being tried out in Europe begin-
ning about the middle of the 19th century.
This highlights another quality of
Concord: its relative resistance to insect
and disease pests. Add to this list of quali-
ties its relatively late blossoms, rarely
nipped by late spring frosts; the fruits
ability to hang well, and the rich, deep
color the berries develop.
Its true some people just dont like that
foxy avor. But for an adaptable, avorful
and useful grape, plant Concord. Eat the
fruit fresh, squeeze it into juice, ferment it
into wine. Let the ripening berries perfume
the air in your backyard. You will have no
trouble nding a place to buy a Concord
vine, for its still one of the most widely
sold grape varieties.

base near their home. Wednesday was his rst day without
work. The couple has ve children.
Kamischke said the economy is her top concern, and
shes focused on national security only if it helps get her
husbands job back.
The poll found that concerns about the spate of foreign
policy challenges facing the U.S. have grown since July,
with 6 in 10 Americans now calling the U.S. role in world
affairs an important issue, up from 51 percent in July.
And most people remain dissatised with those in power.
Just 7 percent of likely voters approve of the way Congress
is handling its job, 42 percent approve of President Barack
Obamas job performance.
Asked how they feel about his administration, 58 percent
are dissatised or angry, while 74 percent were dissatised
or angry with the Republican leadership in Congress.
Few see change coming once voting closes Nov. 4. A
majority of likely voters, 52 percent, expect the
Democratic Party to retain control of the Senate, with 68
percent saying the GOP will keep the House.
About 8 in 10 likely voters deemed several issues impor-
tant, including the threat posed by the Islamic State group,
terrorism, and the issue many thought would come to domi-
nate this years electoral contests, health care.
But all told, 92 percent of likely voters called the econo-
my an extremely or very important issue.
Persistent concerns about the economy are fueled by per-
ceptions that things arent getting better. Just 38 percent of
likely voters describe the economy as good, and half as
many think theres been any improvement in the last
month. The outlook for the future is dim, with only 34 per-
cent expecting any improvement in the coming year.
Wayne Savage, of Allegan, Michigan, who turns 55 on
Friday and works in manufacturing, said his top priority in
the voting booth will be the economy and national securi-
t y, followed by immigration. He says that the economy is
slowly improving in his part of southwestern Michigan.
Manufacturing is starting to do a little better here, he
said. We still have a long way to go, but things are mov-
ing in the right direction.
Ashift in focus toward the threat of terrorism could bene-
t the GOP, the poll suggests. About 4 in 10 likely voters
trust the Republicans more to protect the country while just
a quarter prefer the Democrats. On handling the economy,
however, the GOP holds a much smaller edge, 36 percent to
31 percent for the Democrats.
Neither party holds a clear advantage in the coming elec-
tion, which has already started as early voting begins in
some states.
Asked which party theyd like to see win control of
Congress, 45 percent of likely voters prefer Republicans
and 42 percent the Democrats. In their own districts, those
surveyed are evenly split: 33 percent back a Democratic
candidate, 33 percent a Republican, 10 percent another can-
didate and 23 percent are undecided.
In those places where Senate campaigns are nearly impos-
sible to avoid, voters arent bullish on the GOPs chances of
taking the Senate. Among likely voters in 10 states with
competitive Senate races, 52 percent think the Democrats
will hold the Senate while 49 percent think the Republicans
will take control. These voters are also evenly split on
which party ought to control Congress, 44 percent favor
each party.
That neither side has grabbed a clear edge is unsurprising
given the publics take on those currently in power.
Among all likely voters, majorities have unfavorable
opinions of each party 96 percent say they are dissatis-
ed or angry with the leadership of one side or the other.
Among those who prefer a GOP-controlled Congress, 52
percent say theyre dissatised or angry with the current
Republican leadership.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted September 25-29, 2014,
using KnowledgePanel, GfKs probability-based panel
designed to be representative of the U.S. population. It
involved online interviews with 1,845 adults, and has a
margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage
points for all respondents. Among 958 likely voters, the
margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 points.
Respondents were rst selected randomly using phone or
mail survey methods, and later interviewed online. People
selected for KnowledgePanel who didnt otherwise have
access to the Internet were provided with the ability to
access the Internet at no cost to them.

Palestinians say that Israeli
occupation must end in 16
UNITED NATIONS The Palestinians are asking the U.N.
Security Council to set a deadline of November 2016 for an
Israeli withdrawal from all Palestinian territory occupied
since 1967 including East Jerusalem in a new push to
achieve independence. The circulation of the draft resolution
to council members follows Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas announcement to the U.N. General Assembly last
Friday that he would ask the council to set a deadline for a
pullout and dictate the ground rules for any talks with Israel.
The draft resolution, obtained Wednesday by the
Associated Press, would afrm the Security Councils deter-
mination to contribute to attaining a peaceful solution that
ends the Israeli occupation without delay and fullls the
vision of two states an independent, sovereign, demo-
cratic, contiguous and viable state of Palestine living side
by side with Israel in peace and security in borders based on
those before the 1967 Mideast war.

Russia halts student exchange program with U.S.
MOSCOW The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has voiced
regret about Russias decision to cancel its participation in a
major high school student exchange program.
U.S. Ambassador John F. Tefft said in a statement that the
Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program has brought more
than 8,000 Russian high school students to the United States
to live with American families, attend high school and expe-
rience community life.
Tefft added we deeply regret this decision by the Russian
government to end a program that for 21 years has built deep
and strong connections between the people of Russia and the
United States.
Russia said Wednesday it had halted the program after one of
its students had failed to return home. The move comes amid
serious strains in U.S.-Russian ties over Russias actions in
Ukraine.
The public outcry weve seen among Russians who either
participated in the program or wanted to participate speaks to
the powerful and lasting, positive impact these kinds of
exchange can have on peoples lives. The FLEX program was
vital in building those kinds of bonds between young
Russians and Americans that we need in order to overcome
challenges in our bilateral relations, U.S. State Department
Spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters in Washington.
Ukraine rebels close in on Donetsk airport
DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Russian rebels in eastern
Ukraine advanced Wednesday on the government-held airport
in Donetsk, pressing to seize the key transportation hub even
as the two sides bargained over a troop pullout under a much-
violated truce.
Fighting for the airport has raged for months as the insur-
gents have tried to dislodge the government forces using it to
shell rebel positions in Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city.
At least nine people were killed in the crossre Wednesday in
residential areas near the airport.
Civilian and military casualties have continued to rise in
eastern Ukraine despite a cease-re Sept. 5 and a second agree-
ment Sept. 20 that spelled out how to create a buffer zone.
While that helped to enforce the cease-re in areas where
Ukrainians troops and rebels chose to retreat, non-stop ght-
ing has continued at the airport and other strategic locations.
While the Donetsk airport building has been gutted by
shelling, its long runway would let the rebels handle heavy
cargo planes carrying supplies, instead of relying solely on
truck convoys from Russia.
Around the world

MAHMOUDIYAH, Iraq The
exhausted Kurdish fighters leaned
against a pair of antiquated green can-
nons on a hill overlooking this
northern Iraqi village, the ground
around them littered with shrapnel
from fierce battles with Islamic State
militants.
One of them, Moustafa Saleh,
tapped the cannon with his mud-caked
boots. Russian-made, he said, with
a smirk. My grandfather used the
same one.
Iraqi Kurdish fighters on the front
lines of battle say they have yet to
receive the heavy weapons and train-
ing pledged by the United States and
nearly a dozen other countries to help
them push back the Sunni militants.
U.S.-led airstrikes have forced the
militants to retreat or go into hiding
in towns and villages across northern
Iraq, paving the way for ground forces
to retake territory seized by the mili-
tant group in its lightening advance
since June across western and north-
ern Iraq.
But without more sophisticated
weaponry, the Kurdish fighters,
known as peshmerga, have had to rely
on aging arms like the Soviet-era can-
nons, a centerpiece of the offensive
Tuesday to retake Mahmoudiyah and
the nearby strategic towns of Rabia
and Zumar.

State with aged weapons
HONG KONG Raising the stakes
in their standoff with the authorities,
Hong Kongs pro-democracy protest-
ers threatened to occupy key govern-
ment buildings unless the territorys
top official resigns by the end of the
day Thursday.
The Chinese government, mean-
while, appeared to be losing
patience. An editorial solemnly read
Wednesday on state TV said all Hong
Kong residents should support
authorities in their efforts to deploy
police enforcement decisively and
restore the social order in Hong
Kong as soon as possible.
And the Communist Party-run
Peoples Daily warned of unimagin-
able consequences if the protests
persist.
In the biggest challenge to
Beijings authority since China took
control of the former British colony
in 1997, thousands of demonstrators
have clogged the streets of the Asian
financial center since Friday, demand-
ing freer elections in Hong Kong.
Storming government buildings
would risk inviting another clash
with police like the one over the
weekend.
