Addressing sea level rise, preserving
a vital stretch of road and promoting
coastal access is prompting a joint
project between San Mateo County,
Half Moon Bay and the state to restore
the seawall and pedestrian path at
Surfers Beach.
Caltrans predicts the bluffs at
Surfers Beach, just south of Pillar
Point Harbor, are eroding by about 1. 5
feet a year and its imperative measures
be taken to prevent
Highway 1 from
being undermined,
said San Mateo
County Supervisor
Don Horsley, who
represents the
coast.
The bluffs just
get eroded away,
its just a fact of life
in the state of California. Thats just
something we have to deal with. But
the erosion of the bluffs will probably
get worse with sea level rise, Horsley
said. We figured we should get on this
(Surfers Beach project) and make sure
it gets fixed before theres a crisis.
Horsley is leading an effort, along
with help from Half Moon Bay staff
and Caltrans, to create a shoreline pro-
tection device and a stairwell down to
the beach while repairing about 400
feet of the coastal trail path.
The public will have an opportunity
to provide feedback on the projects

The city of Burlingame is weighing its
options about if it wants to continue a con-
tract with its local high school district for a
shared pool after conflict over its mainte-
nance and financing broke out last summer.
And one option includes ceasing to oper-
ate a city pool.
The city is considering various options
for the Burlingame High School pool owned
by the San Mateo Union High School
District that was built in 1999 through $1. 2
million from an anonymous donor, $1. 6
million from the city and $300, 000 from
the district. Right now, the city pays for
some of the 50-meter pools costs in

A class action lawsuit by workers against
the Daughters of Charity Health System
the hospital chain currently selling off six
hospitals including two local facilities
claims the cash-strapped organization has
been underfunding its pension program.
Nine employees at St. Francis Medical
Center in Lynwood, California, filed the
suit on behalf of themselves and nearly
9, 000 workers at the chains six hospitals
similarly invested in the health systems
pension plan. The suit claims the system
evaded federal pension law requirements and
underfunded its plan by an estimated $229
million by erroneously claiming to have a
church plan exempt from certain laws
requiring adequate funding and obligations
to the participants rather than the man-
agers.
A previous court ruling that Dignity
Healths retirement plan is not an exempt
church plan serves as a basis for the claims
DCHS does not qualify either, according to
the suit filed Tuesday, which seeks to
remove the health system and its executives
as the plans fiduciaries.
The suit claims the health system has
inadequately funded its obligations every
year since at least 2010 and as of Dec. 31,
2013, was underfunded by more than $229
million. Simultaneously, operating losses
have grown to $107 million as of June 30,
2013, and as of Dec. 31, 2013, only had 36
days worth of cash on hand, the suit states.
As DCHS moves forward with a pending
sale to Prime Healthcare of its six proper-
ties, including Seton in Daly City and Seton
Coastside in Moss Beach, one union repre-
senting workers said the financial futures of
current and retired employees is further at
risk.
This lawsuit will ensure that the obliga-
tions to people who have devoted their
lives to serving the sick and poor at
Daughters facilities, and who have done
their life planning around receiving a pen-
sion, do not have the rug pulled out from
them, Dave Regan, president of SEIU-
United Healthcare Workers West, said in a
prepared statement.
The SEIU-UHW said Prime has not com-
mitted to operate the pension plan as one
protected by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 or to tackle its
funding shortfall.
But DCHS said that as part of its agree-
ment, Prime Healthcare is accepting 100
percent responsibility for past and current
pension obligations which no other bidder
would fully do. A DCHS spokesman said
those behind the litigation are the ones
actually endangering workers finances.
The lawsuit filed today by the SEIU is
nothing more than an unfortunate scare tac-
tic by a union waging a corporate campaign
against Prime Healthcare that will do what-
ever it can to stop its purchase of Daughters
of Charity Health System, including jeop-
ardizing the pensions of its own members,
DCHS said in an issued statement.
DCHS called the action dangerous and
unacceptable and expressed confidence the
suit will be tossed quickly.
The fate of the DCHS and its impact on
San Mateo County is being closely watched
by officials both locally and in Sacramento.
Seton is Daly Citys largest employer and
delivers a significant amount of health care
to northern residents and low-income popu-
lations. County officials allocated nearly
$19 million in Measure A half-cent sales tax
funds for seismic upgrades at the aging hos-
pital. Seton Coastside is a 116-bed skilled
nursing facility with the only 24-hour emer-
gency department along the 55-mile coastal
stretch between Daly City and Santa Cruz.
DCHS announced in January it was selling
its six hospitals and earlier this month con-
firmed Prime Healthcare was the sole bidder.
Prime Healthcare and the Prime Healthcare
Foundation own and operate 29 acute-care
facilities in nine states.
The news was met with opposition by
SEIU-UHW and others who claim the
Southern California hospital chain priori-
tizes profits over patient care, overbills
Medicare and has threatened to take DCHS
hospitals into bankruptcy.
DCHS and Prime say it is committed to
operating the hospitals for a minimum of
five years, uphold pension obligations and
pour up to $150 million into capital
improvements over the next three years.
The sale must still be approved by the
Vatican and California Attorney General
Kamala Harris.

A convicted felon prosecutors say fatally
shot a naked man in his parents Daly City
backyard and fired into the mothers abdomen
before fleeing with a prostitute did not enter a
plea yesterday to charges that could send him
to prison for life.
Demond Anthony Spikes, 34, of Hayward,
is charged with premeditated murder and
attempted murder n the April 13 death of
Marcus Brackenridge in the 500 block of
Skyline Drive. He also faces charges for
using a firearm and shooting into an inhabit-
ed dwelling.
Spikes appeared in court Tuesday afternoon
for a second time since his Oct. 9 arrest in
Sacramento but postponed further arraign-
ment until Oct. 28. Meanwhile, he remains in
custody without bail.
The District Attorneys Office believes the
murder happened during an argument over
money but have released few other details
about the relationship of all allegedly
involved.
Spikes, Brackenridge and the woman were
reportedly in the backyard
of Brackenridges par-
ents. As the argument
escalated, a man later
identified as Spikes stood
over Brackenridge with a
gun and shot him first in
the abdomen and then the
head, according to prose-
cutors.
Brackenridges mother,
watching from the home,
yelled out and was shot herself when the gun-
man fired through the glass sliding door.
Daly City police responded at 5:50 a.m.
After a lengthy investigation tied Spikes
to the crime, he was arrested earlier this
month. His mother could not identify her
sons killer because it was too dark outside,
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti said.
If convicted, Spikes could receive a life
term because he has two prior violent felony
convictions.
The woman alleged to have accompanied
Spikes was killed in Oakland a few months
ago, Guidotti said.

Theres a stark divide between the five can-
didates running for three seats on the Sequoia
Healthcare District as two incumbents seek
to continue the work they say benefits the
community while three are running on a plat-
form of dissolving the district.
The district, formed in 1946 to oversee the
construction of Sequoia Hospital, relin-
quished its control over the hospital in 2007
but continues to collect property tax revenue
to fund health care related initiatives in and
outside district boundaries.
The districts approximate $9 million to
$9.5 million in annual tax revenue is used to
fund school wellness programs, nursing
school programs, nonprofits and more.
The district was also the focus on two San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury investiga-
tions whether it was using its tax money
appropriately.
Voters in Atherton, Belmont, Redwood
City, San Carlos, Woodside, Portola Valley
and portions of Menlo Park will choose from
incumbents Arthur Faro, former CEO of the
Sequoia Hospital; Dr. Jerry Shefren, a physi-
cian with experience in hospital administra-
tion; and Jack Hickey, a libertarian who
argues the Board of Directors has exceeded its
mission and wants the public to vote in dis-
solving the district.
John McDowell and Mark De Paula agree
with Hickey and are first-time runners in the
districts election.
Interviews were held with the candidates to
help the Daily Journal determine endorse-
ments. To allow each candidate a forum to
express their opinions on the issues dis-
cussed, candidates were given the same ques-
tions and asked to answer each in around 50
words. Answers are arranged alphabetically
by the candidates last name.
What i s the bi gges t accompl i s h-
ment of the board i n the l as t four
years ?
De Paul a: Sequoia Healthcare District
board has given grants (money from the San
Mateo County taxpayers) to special interest
groups. In the past, there has been money
given to a group in Santa Clara County. The
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury ques-
tions such funding.
Faro: A major accomplishment of the
board has been to allocate 100 percent of all
tax revenue to go to grants and programs to
benefit the health of the citizens of our dis-
trict. Thousands of residents have benefited
from our subsidies including school children
who are developing good lifelong health
habits.
Hi ckey: Sidestepping questions posed by
the 2013 civil grand jury, i.e. 1). Is Sequoia
Healthcare District providing services out-
side of its boundaries? 2). Should the district
continue to exist and/or continue to receive
public funds or could another entity provide
the districts services more efficiently?
McDowel l : The board acts as a private
foundation, distributing largess to favored
nonprofits, special interests and govern-
ment entities. The question is whether voters
have had a chance to approve this. The civil
grand jury says no I agree with them. We
must renew voter commitment to this use of
taxes.
Shefren: Primary accomplishments
include development of a new strategic plan
with input from over 50 community mem-
bers including local elected officials of
almost every community in the district. The
result was a reaffirmation of our vision and
mission as well as a commitment to preven-
tive health strategies for our grants program.
What do you s ee as the rol e of the
board now and i nto the future?
board should halt funding to special interest
groups, until the public can vote on the next
election cycle. The district should send out
information to the voters on the current mis-
sion and granting since selling Sequoia
Hospital in 1996. Awareness to the public is
essential.
Faro: Continue to work with the staff to
promote healthy alternatives and assist
organizations, including hospitals, to treat
the underserved.
Hi ckey: Facilitating a voter-approved
transition, from the status quo, to either con-
solidation and expansion to include the
entire county or dissolution.
McDowel l : The board should carry out
the wishes of the residents of the district. I
believe that voters, given the chance in a
district-sponsored referendum, would consid-
er closing or merging the district to be the
best options, since the district has fulfilled
its original mandate to build Sequoia
Hospital.
Shefren: The district has a present and
future role to fill gaps in our health care sys-
tem by funding programs that increase
access to health care, prevent poor health
outcomes and educate our residents on how to
live healthier lives. This will clearly reduce
the cost of health care to all of us.
Is there a parti cul ar deci s i on the
board has made i n the pas t four years
you woul d l i ke to have s een made di f-
ferentl y?
board has elevated the CEOs pay to surpass
that of the governor of the state of
California. I say this was a very bad deci-
sion, and again, no hospital to manage.
Faro: I cant think of any significant deci-
sions the board has made in the last four
years that I would do differently.
Hi ckey: Yes. The decision in December of
2013 to increase compensation for board
members to $1,500/month for health insur-
ance premium reimbursement. Thats $3,000
per regularly scheduled meeting. Our counter-
part, Peninsula Health Care District, com-
pensates its directors with a small meeting
stipend.
McDowel l : The board retroactively raised
the executive directors pay to more than that
of Gov. Jerry Brown. However, the executive
director only supervises one full-time
employee and three part-timers. That was a
bad decision and I would have opposed it. Its
time to reform board governance and provide
greater public transparency.
Shefren: I believe the board could have
been more forceful in requiring outcomes
reporting from our grants recipients.
Outcomes are often more difficult to measure
especially short term but we could have
worked with our grantees to help them with
this process.
Woul d you cons i der a merger wi th
another heal th care di s tri ct s uch as
Peni ns ul a?
De Paul a: Absolutely, if the voters agreed
on the consolidation. Also do not leave out
the other cities that are currently not covered
under either district. As I stated in my answer
to question two, educate the taxpayers.
Awareness to the residents on how the dis-
trict has changed the original mission.
Faro: We have discussed merging with
Peninsula Healthcare District in the past and
concluded that our community would be bet-
ter served by concentrating our efforts local-
ly. I can see working collaboratively with
them on specific projects, but do not think a
merging would be in the best interests of our
residents.
Hi ckey: I support enabling legislation to
allow a countywide election in which voters
could choose between a countywide health
care district, not requiring new taxes, and dis-
solution of the Sequoia and Peninsula health
care districts.
McDowel l : Amerger would make sense if
the new district covered the entire county,
not leaving out coastside and north county
residents, as is currently the case. This merg-
er would need to stay within the 1 percent ad
valorem rate and not raise taxes on current or
new constituents.
Shefren: I would only consider a merger
with an entity that shared the vision and mis-
sion of the Sequoia Healthcare District.
Local control of the districts tax dollars
ensures that our residents our
best served.
How wel l has the
board s hi fted i ts mi s -
s i on of provi di ng a
heal th care faci l i ty to
provi di ng heal th care
res ources to the communi ty?
De Paul a: The mission was completed,
Sequoia hospital was built and sold. Sequoia
Healthcare District board has changed the
mission without approval of the district res-
idents/voters. Special interest groups are the
only ones that benefit from the current
spending. The allotment to the district is
about $9.5 million a year.
Faro: Having been the hospital CEO who
led the transition to health care district, I
think the changing role has been extremely
effective and productive. It was the right tim-
ing to change from hospital to health care in
accordance with the changing legislation
and our board and staff did a wonderful job.
Hi ckey: The board has done an excellent
job of avoiding voter approval. Both
Sequoia and Peninsula health care districts
have avoided substantive public discourse on
their transitional status. Their anecdotal
PR activities and constituency building
grant programs are aimed at sustaining the
districts in the face of critical challenges to
their legitimacy.
McDowel l : As the civil grand jury points
out, voters never approved this shift. The
board spends $9.5 million a year on pro-
grams targeting narrow slices of our commu-
nity. If voters renew district support, it must
refocus spending on benefiting more resi-
dents, and shift away from benefiting those
outside the district.
Shefren: The health care district has
always had the vision of building a healthier
community. Moving away from owning a
hospital allows the district to focus exclu-
sively on preventive health activities,
which will result in reduced need for hospi-
talization. We now actively support outpa-
tient facilities and institutions with an
emphasis on prevention.

Obituary
Market turmoil: A gift for mortgage refinancers?
A sudden plunge in mortgage rates last week raised an
urgent question for millions of Americans:
Should I refinance my mortgage?
Across the country, homeowners and would-be homeown-
ers eager for a bargain rate fired off inquiries to lenders.
The opportunity emerged from the tumult that seized
financial markets and sent stock prices and bond yields tum-
bling. Rates on long-term mortgages tend to track the 10-
year Treasury yield, which fell below 2 percent for the first
time since May 2013.
Accordingly, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mort-
gage, mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported, dipped below 4
percent to 3. 97 percent a tantalizing figure. As recently
as January, the average was 4. 53 percent.
Ultra-low rates do carry risks as well as opportunities.
Charges and fees can shortchange refinancers who are
focused only on the potential savings. And falling rates are
often associated with the broader risk of an economic slow-
down that could eventually reduce the income that some
people have to pay their mortgages.
Big slump is no cause to ditch stock market
NEW YORK After more than five years of stock market
gains, investors could be forgiven for worrying that big
sell-offs may be the harbingers of bigger slumps.
But, even as stocks were plunging last week, strategists
and professional investors were telling their clients that the
volatility was no reason to abandon the market.
Worries about a slowdown in global growth drove oil
prices and global stock indices sharply lower. Headlines
about the spread of Ebola and the deepening conflict with
Islamic State fighters in the Middle East also turned
investors cautious.
Still, many investment strategists pointed out that the
key factors supporting stocks during their current bull run
market remain in place. The U. S. economy is still growing,
and so are corporate earnings.
Most strategists say investors should take advantage of
the opportunities that come with a stock sell-off.

County supervisors Tuesday unani-
mously backed a $12.5 million over-
haul of Middlefield Road meant to make
the North Fair Oaks community safer,
more walkable and more visually
appealing.
The Board of Supervisors provided
the final stamp of approval for the plan
which includes converting the road
to three lanes and adding bike lanes and
parallel parking which paves the
way to nail down the design details and
get to work.
In choosing the makeover plan it did,
the North Fair Oaks Community
Council participated in a very historic
moment, said Supervisor Warren
Slocum whose district includes the
neighborhood of approximately
18,000.
They had a chance to make history
and make a significant difference in the
future of that community, Slocum said,
according to a video of the meeting.
A report on parking solutions was
compiled last August and future reports
are due on signalization and a local
business sustainability plan, Deputy
County Manager Peggy Jensen said.
The business plan is particularly key
because even when the plan was first
being looked at there were gentrifica-
tion concerns that development, espe-
cially of Middlefield Road, would push
out business owners, said Linda Lopez,
member of the North Fair Oaks
Community Council.
Although a consensus agreed that
Middlefield Road needed a makeover,
divides existed over the number of traf-
fic lanes. However, during public work-
shops and meetings, Slocum said peo-
ple were very clear on a desire for a
safer neighborhood, safer crossings,
trees and benches. Bike lanes were also
a big part of the conversation, he
said.
In response, the plan calls for three
lanes of traffic between Pacific and
Fifth avenues which allows for bike
lanes and wider sidewalks to better
accommodate benches and pedestrians.
The parallel parking reduces the avail-
able spaces by 30 percent which is why
the county is looking at possible solu-
tions.
If the anticipated timeline holds, the
design and construction process will
begin in November and conservatively
run through 2019.

A Surete du Quebec officer investigates an overturned vehicle in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
By Benjamin Shingler and Rob Gillies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Quebec
A young convert to Islam who killed a
Canadian soldier in a hit-and-run had been
on the radar of federal investigators, who
feared he had jihadist ambitions and seized
his passport when he tried to travel to
Turkey, authorities said Tuesday.
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said
the attack Monday was clearly linked to
terrorist ideology. Quebec Police
spokesman Guy Lapointe said the act was
deliberate and that one of the two soldiers
was in uniform.
Police said the suspect, Martin Couture-
Rouleau, called 911 to report his hit-and-run
as police chased him in the Quebec city of
Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu. He later was shot
dead by police after his car flipped over into
a ditch and he brandished a knife as he exit-
ed his car. A second soldier suffered minor
injuries in the attack.
Couture-Rouleau, 25, was one of 90 peo-
ple in the country suspected of intending to
join fights abroad or who have returned from
overseas, according to Royal Canadian
Mounted Police Commissioner Bob
Paulson.
He fi rst came t o at t ent i on of aut hori -
t i es i n June because of Facebook post -
i ngs t hat showed he had become radi cal -
i zed and want ed t o l eave t he count ry t o
fi ght , sai d Royal Canadi an Mount ed
Pol i ce Supt . Mart i ne Font ai ne.
Police seized his passport at the airport in
July when he tried to travel to Turkey,
Fontaine said. He was arrested and ques-
tioned but there wasnt enough evidence to
charge him with a crime, she said.
Fontaine said police subsequently met
with him several times, including as recent-
ly as Oct. 9, when she said he indicated that
wanted to take steps to change. They also
met his parents and the imam of his mosque
and tried to exert a positive influence over
him.
Many interventions with him were car-
ried out to try and avoid the tragic events,
Fontaine said. Its very difficult when
someone is planning an act alone and there
is no obvious preparation involved and used
a vehicle as a weapon.
She said they couldnt arrest him for hav-
ing radical thoughts.
It was not known whether Couture-
Rouleau had any ties to Islamic militant
groups.
He was part of our investigative efforts
to try and identify those people who might
commit a criminal act travelling abroad for
terrorist purposes, Paulson said.
Canada raised its domestic terror threat
level from low to medium Tuesday due to an
increase in general chatter from radical
Islamist organizations like ISIL, al-Qaida,
al-Shabab and others who pose a clear threat
to Canadians, said Jean-Christophe de Le
Rue, a spokesman for the public safety min-
ister.
North Korea frees U.S.
man; two more still detained
WASHINGTON North Koreas reclusive
government abruptly freed an American man
Tuesday, nearly six
months after he was
arrested on charges of
leaving a Bible in a
nightclub, but
Pyongyang refused to
hand over two other U. S.
citizens who are still
being held.
There was no immedi-
ate explanation for the
release of Jeffrey Fowle,
who was quickly whisked to the U. S. territo-
ry of Guam before heading back to his wife
and three children in Miamisburg, Ohio.
Relations between Washington and
Pyongyang, never warm, are at a particular-
ly low point, and the U. S. has sought unsuc-
cessfully for months to send a high-level
representative to North Korea to negotiate
acquittals for all three men.
Fowles wife, Tatyana, screamed when I
told her, said family attorney Timothy
Tepe, who received a call from the State
Department with word of the release. Tepe
said Fowle himself called his wife soon
afterward.
Total CEO killed in
Moscow runway crash
MOSCOW Christophe de Margerie, the
charismatic CEO of Total SA who helped
establish the multinational oil company as
one of the worlds biggest, was killed at a
Moscow airport when his private jet collid-
ed with a snowplow whose driver was report-
edly drunk.
As well as questioning the driver, Russian
investigators said Tuesday they were also
assessing whether any mistakes were made
by air traffic controllers in the crash which
also killed three French crew members.
The crash occurred at 11. 57 p. m. Monday
local time when the French-made Dassault
Falcon 50 burst into flames after hitting the
snowplow during takeoff from Vnukovo air-
port, which is used by Russian government
officials, including President Vladimir
Putin, and visiting foreign leaders.
We lost a true friend of our country,
Putin said.
Video from the scene showed the charred
plane lying on a grassy field. Though it had
snowed earlier in the day, it was unclear how
much snow remained at the airport at the
time of the crash.
Terrorist ideology blamed in
Canada hit-and-run attack

DENVER Three teenage girls from sub-
urban Denver may have been trying to join
Islamic State militants in Syria after steal-
ing their parents money and flying to
Germany, authorities said Tuesday.
The girls two sisters, ages 17 and 15,
and their 16-year-old friend were reported
missing after they skipped school Friday,
but the families had no indication of where
they might have gone, said Glenn
Thompson, bureau chief of the Arapahoe
County Sheriffs Department
They were stopped at the Frankfurt,
Germany, airport over the weekend by FBI
agents and returned to Colorado where they
were reunited with their families, FBI
spokeswoman Suzie Payne said.
A U. S. official said the girls were headed
toward Turkey en route to Syria and that
investigators were now reviewing evidence,
including the girls computers.
Another U. S. official called the case con-
cerning both to the community and to the
country in general. The official said the evi-
dence gathered so far made it clear that the
girls were headed to Syria, though the offi-
cial said investigators were still determin-
ing what sort of contacts they had in that
country. The official said investigators
would be trying to figure out whether there
were like-minded friends and acquaintanc-
es in the girls social circle.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to discuss the ongoing investigation by
name.
The Arapahoe County missing persons
report contains details of the girls move-
ments.
They said they stayed in the Frankfurt air-
port for an entire day before being detained,
questioned and returned to Denver, where
they were further questioned by the FBI and
sent home.
They told authorities they had gone to
Germany for family but wouldnt elabo-
rate.

of weapons airdropped by U. S. -
l ed coal i t i on forces t hat were
meant to supply Kurdish militia-
men bat t l i ng t he ext remi st
group in a border town, activists
said Tuesday.
The cache of weapons included
hand grenades, ammunition and
rocket -propel l ed grenade
launchers, according to a video
uploaded by a media group loyal
to the Islamic State group.
The video appeared authentic
and corresponded t o The
Associ at ed Press report i ng of
the event.
The Bri t ai n-based Syri an
Observatory for Human Rights,
which bases its information on a
net work of act i vi st s on t he
ground, said the militants had
seized at least one cache.
The caches were ai rdropped
early on Monday to Kurds in the
embat t l ed Syri an t own of
Kobani that lies near the Turkish
border.
The militant group has been
trying to seize the town for over
a month now, causing the exo-
dus of some 200, 000 peopl e
from the area into Turkey. While
Kurds are bat t l i ng on t he
ground, a U. S. -led coalition is

On Tuesday, IS l oyal i st s on

But the lost weapons drop was
more an embarrassment than a
great strategic loss. The Islamic

when the group seized swaths of
Iraq in a sudden sweep in June.

On Tuesday, the U. S. Central

near Kobani that destroyed IS
fighting positions, an IS build-

Also Tuesday, Syrian govern-

town along the countrys south-

at least eight people.
Act i vi st s wi t h t he Local
Coordi nat i on Commi t t ees and

of those killed was likely to rise
as there are more victims under
the rubble.
The LCC said Syrian govern-

The airstrikes are part of bat-

BEIRUT Syrian President
Bashar Assad is taking advantage
of the U. S. -led coalitions war
against the Islamic State group to
pursue a withering air and ground
campaign against more main-
stream rebels elsewhere in the
country, trying to recapture areas
considered more crucial to the
survival of his government.
As U. S. and allied jets swoop
freely over towns and cities under
control of extremists in northern
Syria, the Syrian army has scaled
back its air activity over areas of
IS control, doing as little as pos-
sible there to avoid confronta-
tion. Instead, Assads troops are
now focusing their energies on
the countrys two largest cities,
Damascus and Aleppo.
Whereas previously the
Syrian regime had some interest
or some level of obligation to
take direct action against ISIS, to
the extent that the American mil-
itary is now doing this, the
Syrians dont have to do it, said
Christopher Harmer, senior naval
analyst at the Washington-based
Institute for the Study of War.

OPINION 9
Dont split the
health care district vote
Editor,
I hope by now enough voters are
aware of how our taxes continue to go
to what is renamed a health care dis-
trict renamed because the hospital
district for which the taxes were
granted was sold. A civil grand jurys
recommendation over 10 years ago
was that voters should approve any
new purpose of a hospital district.
This has yet to happen. The directors
of that district, Sequoia Healthcare
District, would rather use the taxes as
they see t, and decide with only one
dissenting vote to their four to whom
they bestow the grants.
The dissenting director, Jack
Hickey, has been elected to three four-
year terms by voters who continue to
question the validity of this health
care district and are unhappy he has
never changed anything. But he is
only one vote of disapproval and can-
not even get a motion seconded.
This election must get Jack the sup-
port of two other candidates whose
purpose would also be to bring this
decision to the voters. If your vote
for Jack Hickey also includes a vote
for Mark De Paula and John
McDowell, together they plan to do
that. If you split your vote with
another candidate, we will have lost
the opportunity again to have voters
make the decision for our health care
districts tax collection.
All the time voters have been
denied this decision there have been a
great many beneciaries of this
boards generosity of our taxes. They
certainly want to keep those dona-
tions coming. Is it too late already to
stop this controversial tax collection

O
nce again, the mission of the
Sequoia Healthcare District,
in the past, now and into the
future, is the primary focus of a cam-
paign for three open seats on its
board.
For 12 years, Jack Hickey has made
it his cause to dissolve the Sequoia
Healthcare District because it no
longer serves its original purpose of
ensuring a hospital for the area it
serves. Hickey has long brought up
valid points and his resolve on this
issue is impressive. However, his
tenure has been marked by a certain
lack of productivity.
Founded in 1946, the Sequoia
Hospital District was formed to build
and operate Sequoia Hospital. The
hospitals operation was turned over
to Catholic Healthcare West, now
Dignity Health, in 1996 and an agree-
ment was reached about a decade later
for a new hospital. The district has
since been renamed Sequoia
Healthcare District and distributes
roughly $9 million a year to various
organizations its board of directors
believe fulll the health care needs for
the people from San Mateo south to
Portola Valley. In doing so, the dis-
trict has remade itself into a govern-
mental foundation of sorts, providing
money for programs such as school
nurses, community debrillators and
dental assistance.
The crux of this election is not
whether the board has done a good job
on doling out that money or making
proper plans for the future, but rather
if it should be doing that at all. And
that has been Hickeys goal for the
last 12 years. However, Hickey has
been largely unsuccessful with this
tack. By lumping together two new
cohorts every election onto his disso-
lution ticket, he brings the issue to
the forefront, but has been unable to
imbue his teammates with the ability
to get enough votes to gain a board
majority. And thus, his role has been
relegated to a thorn in the side of the
other elected members and the dis-
tricts administration.
After 12 years, it has been clear
voters want Hickey to continue with
his watchful eye but dont want two
other board members to support his
ultimate task. Or maybe its just that
voters remember his name.
Regardless, a better option for Hickey
has always been to engage in an ini-
tiative process to see if voters, in
fact, want the district to be dissolved.
Since voters have yet to be present-
ed with that option, the current path
seems best served by the two incum-
bents, Arthur Faro and Gerald Shefren.
Both Faro and Shefren take their roles
seriously and are contemplative and
inclusive in their decision-making.
Since there are three open seats,
another good candidate is John
McDowell. In the spirit of full disclo-
sure, McDowell was a columnist for
the Daily Journal up until his cam-
paign announcement this summer.
While he sticks with Hickeys plat-
form of wanting to dissolve the dis-
trict, he is also a smart and savvy cit-
izen who would bring a sense of scal
reform to the table. Special districts
have a reputation of sometimes going
without oversight since they are not
in the publics eye at all times.
McDowell would bring a scally con-
servative viewpoint to the board with
reform in mind. Hickey has had his
chance to bring about change using
his current methodology. While his
tenure could be considered successful
in that he brings up topics no one
else will, he has burned bridges with
his fellow board members and staff.
McDowell will bring the same sense
of reform-minded attitude with a fresh-
er and more collaborative approach.
In the meantime, Hickey should focus
his effort on an initiative process if
he truly wants to bring about the dis-
tricts dissolution.
With that in mind, the best choices
for the Sequoia Healthcare District are
incumbents Art Faro and Gerald
Shefren and challenger John
McDowell.

Lost cause?
S
ome parts of the past must be preserved, and
some of the future prevented at all costs.
Ashleigh Brilliant.
One summer, when our 26-year-old grandson was in
high school, he decided that he wanted to learn to prepare
some of the vegetarian dishes I served when he and his
family came for dinner. So he and I had some cooking ses-
sions. I doubt if he has used any of those recipes, though
he took them when he went off to college, but at least he
knows something about preparing food. And, of course,
there was a lot to learn in a short time.
How many young people are learning anything about
preparing food and cooking? How many have the inclina-
tion to ask Grams to give them lessons? Theyre not
going to learn it in school. Often parents come home tired
and spend a lot of time doing other things like going
for a jog, getting on Facebook, etc. Even though they
may know many of the rea-
sons it is important to
avoid highly processed and
junk foods, when their day
is so full and there are so
many other things that
make demands on them, its
very easy to suppress any
guilt that may arise, and go
with what is most conven-
ient. They grab something
from a pizza or fast-food
place on the way home or
slip some frozen dinners in
the microwave.
When you think about it, preparing food from scratch is
more complicated than many people may want to even
consider. First, you have to have a plan what to eat
when. And then theres the shopping involved, reading
labels, knowing how to store fresh foods and keeping
track of whats in the refrigerator. If you havent learned
the basics of cooking, education is in order, and learning
how to interpret a recipe may be daunting. And then
theres the mess to clean up afterward.
Besides, for anyone who is aware of precautions to take
when purchasing food at the market that have been publi-
cized over the past several years, the task of making that
grocery list can be daunting. For instance, is that beef
corn or grass fed? How much BPA is in that can of tomato
sauce? How many chemicals have those potatoes
absorbed? What about the dangers of the genetically mod-
ied corn and soy products? What about all of those arti-
cial colors, avors and other additives in processed foods?
Todays consumers have been thoroughly immersed in
the junk food age. By the time they realize that they
should eat better and have learned anything about eating
healthfully and preparing food, they often will have
developed poor eating habits that have compromised their
health all along the way and which are difcult to break.
They may make an attempt to feed their children better,
but far too often good intentions fall by the wayside as
life gets more complicated. The kids get older and they
become bombarded with commercials for just the foods
that they should avoid. Then, when the parents reach mid-
dle age and realize that they need to eat healthier to try to
stave off possible future ailments, bad habits have been
rmly entrenched.
Its too bad that the food issue has become so compli-
cated and confusing that many who may have had an inter-
est in eating nutritiously just give up. Is it too much to
hope that more than just a few of the most dedicated will
make the effort and take the time to prepare food that is
free of contaminants and conducive to health? As corpo-
rate interests, in the name of free enterprise, have so adul-
terated our food and so successfully brainwashed the aver-
age consumer, are we up against a no-win situation? Is it
possible that the health of most human beings will
become so compromised by their eating habits that the
resulting ailments will be considered simply a part of life
and human beings will gradually morph into a pathetic
variant of our species?
Whether its because were scared, or lazy, or time-
pressed, or simply that we dont think the food we cook
wont taste as good as the junk we buy, we have allowed
others to feed us, rather than taking charge of feeding our-
selves. For the sake of our health, our palates and the
environment, that has to change. How to Eat Now,
Mark Bittman, Time magazine, Oct. 20, 2014.
Oct. 24 has been designated as Food Day. According
to the sponsors, Food Day inspires Americans to change
their diets and our food policies since the foods we eat
should promote, not undermine, our good health. Have
you heard about Food Day? Is it too little, too late? Is
this, as Eric Schlosser wrote, truly a Junk Food Nation?

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The U. S. stock mar-
ket marched higher Tuesday, giving
the Standard & Poors 500 index its
best day of the year.
Investors rallied behind an encour-
aging report on the Chinese economy
as well as strong quarterly results from
Apple and other big companies.
The market continues on its recov-
ery from last weeks swoon and has
now erased much of its losses over the
last two weeks.
I think its too early to call to call
this a new rally, but I think there are
definite signs that investors are gain-
ing confidence again after last weeks
volatility, said Kristina Hooper, head
of U. S. investment strategies at
Allianz Global Investors.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
added 37. 27 points, or 2 percent, to
1, 941. 28. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 215. 14 points, or 1. 3
percent, to 16, 614. 81. The Nasdaq
composite rose 103. 40 points, or 2. 4
percent, to 4, 419. 48.
This week so far has been a contrast
to last weeks turbulence in many
ways. Volatility is down, the S&P 500
index is on pace to have its best week
of the year and the price of crude oil
has stopped sliding. The bond market
has also stabilized, with the 10-year
Treasury note remaining around 2. 20
percent for the last several days.
Last week the main thing driving
the market was the decline in oil, the
Ebola scare and the rally in the 10-year
Treasury note. All of those items have
stabilized, said Ian Winer, director of
equity trading at Wedbush Securities.
That said, theres still a chance for
bumps ahead given that a meeting of
the Federal Reserve is coming up next
week where the central bank is expect-
ed to end its bond-buying economic
stimulus program for good. Growth
worries in Europe and China are still
top of mind, and with U. S. corporate
earnings season underway, the mar-
kets direction could change quickly,
traders and strategists said.
Investors are likely to see more
volatility, not less. We expected this
to happen now that the Feds quantita-
tive easing program is ending,
Hooper said. We are in unusual times,
so expect to see more of an outsized
reaction in the market.
Since falling to a six-month low last
week, the stock market has now basi-
cally recovered nearly all of its losses.
After closing at 1, 862. 49 on Oct. 15,
the S&P 500 index has rallied more
than 4 percent in four days.
One notable part of the market
investors have been moving back into
is smaller, riskier companies. While
the S&P 500 and Dow are still down
1. 6 percent to 2. 5 percent this month,
respectively, the Russell 2000 is up 1
percent for October.
Thats an important sign that
investors are regaining their confi-
dence, Hooper said.
Apple gave a boost to the overall
market. The maker of iPhones and
iPads rose $2. 71, or 2. 7 percent, to
$102. 47 after its quarterly results easi-
ly beat analysts expectations. Apple
said it earned $1. 42 a share last quarter,
helped by strong sales of the latest
version of the iPhone.
Investors also had an encouraging
report out of Asia. Chinas economy
expanded by 7. 3 percent in the third
quarter from a year earlier. Although
growth slowed slightly from the previ-
ous quarters 7. 5 percent, analysts had
expected a more marked slowdown, to
6. 9 percent.
China has been a worry spot for
investors for many weeks, and has
been a key reason why financial mar-
kets have been volatile lately. Signs
of a slowdown in Europe have also
been worrying investors.
After last weeks volatility in the
financial markets, the last thing
investors needed was bad news out of
China, said Neil MacKinnon, global
macro strategist at VTB Capital.

McDonalds CEO outlines
changes as sales slide
NEW YORK After posting yet another
disappointing quarter, McDonalds CEO
Don Thompson said Tuesday the company
hasnt been keeping up with the times and
that changes are in store for its U. S. restau-
rants.

tions, Thompson conceded during a con-
ference call outlining the changes.
The remarks came after McDonalds said
sales at established locations fell 3. 3 per-
cent globally and in the U. S. division,
marking the fourth straight quarter of
declines in its home market. Profit sank 30
percent.
Yahoos 3Q earnings
soar on Alibaba windfall
SUNNYVALE Yahoos third-quarter
earnings soared as the Internet company
collected a huge windfall from Alibabas
recent IPO. Revenue also rose slightly from
the previous year, a welcome change for a
company that has been posting quarterly
declines for most of the past five years.
The uptick included more than $200 mil-
lion in revenue from mobile devices. That
represented 17 percent of Yahoos total rev-
enue for the three months that ended in
September, an indication that CEO Marissa
Mayers emphasis on designing sleeker
applications for smartphones and tablets is
starting to pay off.
Daimler sells stake
in Tesla for $780 million
Daimler AG says it has sold its 4 percent
stake in electric car maker Tesla for $780
million.
The buyer was not disclosed.
The Germany-based parent of Mercedes-

Inc. is unaffected. Tesla made the battery
packs and chargers for the two-seat electric
smart and developed part of the electric

Gov. Snyder signs law
to ban Tesla direct sales
LANSING, Mich. Gov. Rick Snyder on
Tuesday signed a law clarifying that
automakers can only sell through fran-
chised dealers, a move electric car maker
Tesla Motors said puts Michigan in the
rare minority of states to ban stores where
consumers can buy vehicles directly from
manufacturers.
Snyder, who had been under pressure from
Tesla to veto the bill backed by mainline
auto companies and their dealerships, said
it was approved 38-0 by the Senate and 106-
1 in the House.

The Aragon and Mercy-Burlingame girls
water polo teams met at the Serra aquatic
center in a crucial Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division matchup Tuesday evening.
Both teams came into the match in a vir-
tual tie for first place with one loss apiece
but, when the final horn sounded, it was the
Dons who stood alone atop the standings
following a 12-7 victory.
Its important to win the Ocean Division
title because it means an automatic berth
into the Central Coast Section playoffs.
[Weve] been working hard all season,
said Aragon coach Roxanne Tursi. When
they play together as a team, theyre hard to
beat.
Aragon (7-1 PAL Ocean) had been a Bay
Division stalwart until being moved into
the Ocean Division this season. Tursi said
she believes the Dons have played this sea-
son with a chip on their collective shoul-
ders and are in line not only to earn a CCS
berth, but a promotion back to the Bay next
season.
It was Mercy (5-2), however, that was
looking to take control of the division by
scoring a pair of quick goals on its first two
shots of the match. Maddy Gomes fired
home a shot from the hole set just over a
minute into the match. Forty seconds later,
the Crusaders took a 2-0 lead when Nina
Moutoux received a pass on the wing near
midpool and drove all the way to the cage
without a defender on her and buried her
shot.
It took a while for Aragon to find its range
but, once the Dons did, they were deadly.
When Tessa Draper scored off an assist from
Monika Kepa with 4:33 to play in the first
period, it jump-started a run that saw the
Dons score eight unanswered goals.
A game like this helps our girls be aware
that defense is just as important as offense,
said Mercy coach Rocio Medina.
Thirty seconds after the first of Drapers
four goals, the Dons were awarded a man-
advantage and tied the score when Kepa con-
verted a pass from Rachel Downall for a
power-play goal with 3:57 to left in the
opening period. The Dons took the lead for
good with 1:30 left in the first period when

Hunter Pence hits a two-run homer during the Giantsthree-run first inning on their way to a
7-1 win over the Royals in Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday night.
By Ben Walker
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Madison
Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants put
a sudden stop to the Kansas City Royals
perfect postseason roll.
Bumgarner pitched shutout ball into the
seventh inning, Hunter Pence homered early
and the Giants showed off their October
poise, shutting down the Royals 7-1
Tuesday night in the World Series opener.
Our team is concentrating on what were
doing, not what the Royals are doing,
Bumgarner said.
From the get-go, the Giants simply did
everything right to win their seventh
straight World Series game. Theres a reason
Bumgarner and this bunch in black and
orange are trying for their third title in five
years.
I cant say Im surprised by these guys,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
The Royals, meanwhile, looked nothing
like the fresh team that had become base-
balls darlings by starting the playoffs with
eight wins in a row back on the field after
a five-day layoff, their pitching, hitting and
fielding all deserted them.
The fates seemed to change from the very
first batter, in fact. Gregor Blanco led off
with a soft line drive to center field and AL
Championship Series MVP Lorenzo Cain
charged, then backed off as the ball fell for a
single. It wouldve taken a near miracle to
catch it, but thats the kind of play the
Royals had been making on a routine basis.
Moments later, Pences two-run homer
highlighted a three-run burst in the first
inning against James Shields. Nicknamed
Big Game James, he once again failed to
live up to that billing and left in the fourth
when the Giants made it 5-0.
It just wasnt my night tonight, Shields
said.
By then, Royals fans who had waited
since 1985 for the Series to return to town
A giant victory
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Although special teams is one of the three
phases of a football team along with
offense and defense its the one unit that
is most often overlooked.
The worst-case scenario is, special teams
costs a team a victory. Best-case scenario?
The unit simply does its job.
But every now and again, special teams
plays can be the difference between winning
and losing and for the College of San Mateo
football team, special teams proved to be a
deciding factor in the Bulldogs 24-21 win
over Santa Rosa Saturday afternoon.
I think we won the game on special
teams, to be honest, said CSM head coach
Bret Pollack. [Special teams play is] very
important. Its 30 minutes of practice a day
(for us) and its a two-hour practice. We put a
lot more attention on it in the last couple of
years.
The Bulldogs kick return team helped set
up short fields for the offense, with an aver-
age starting point of roughly midfield.
Returner DJ Pelusos 40-yard return set up
the Bulldogs game-tying touchdown in the
third quarter and kicker Justin Watts 49-
yard field goal early in the fourth quarter,
which gave the Bulldogs a 24-14 lead at the
time, turned out to be the difference in the
game. The punting team also had a strong
game, with four CSM punts being downed

OAKLAND Any time a team fires a
coach after a 51-win season and back-to-
back playoff appearances the message from
ownership is clear: good is not good
enough.
Thats the situation the Golden State
Warriors are in now.
Mark Jackson is gone, Steve Kerr has
taken over and the Warriors are hoping the
coaching change is the
final ingredient to put
them in the NBA champi-
onship mix.
These guys are already
really good, said Kerr,
who left the TNT broad-
cast table to sign a five-
year deal worth about $25
million with the Warriors
in May. Were not try-
ing to change everything. All were trying
to do is help them get even better.
Basketball is all about how the pieces fit,
and the pieces already fit pretty well here.
Two seasons ago, the Warriors made a sur-
prising run to the second round of the play-
offs under Jackson. Last spring, they took
the Pacific Division champion Los Angeles
Clippers to a decisive Game 7 in the first
round despite center and defensive leader
Andrew Bogut sitting out with a fractured
rib.
Golden State returns all five starters
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre
Iguodala, David Lee and Bogut from that
team, which finished 51-31 to earn the
Western Conferences sixth seed. The
Warriors also signed free agent guard Shaun
Livingston to bolster a bench that includes
blossoming young forwards Draymond
Green and Harrison Barnes.
Players believe theres enough talent in
place to win a title.
Were all excited about taking advantage
Warriors hoping
Kerr is the final
piece for title run

San Mateo 4, Carlmont 3
The Bearcats pulled off one of the biggest
upsets of the season when they knocked off
the second-place Scots Tuesday afternoon.

Local sports roundup
By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD David Shaw has answered
questions about Stanfords ability to remain a
football powerhouse since he succeeded Jim
Harbaugh as coach in January 2011, and the
debate fires up any time his team begins to
slide.
The outside noise, as Shaw calls it,
might be at the loudest level of his tenure.
The Cardinals third loss of the season a
26-10 defeat at Arizona State last Saturday
took the program out of The Associated Press
poll for the first time since 2010, ending a
school-record 72 weeks in the rankings.
Some are wondering where the program is
headed, and others are criticizing Shaws
schemes.
With the two-time defending Pac-12 cham-
pions at another crossroads, Shaw is trying
to remind everybody that all is not lost.
Stanford (4-3, 2-2) still controls its destiny
in the North Division needing to win its
final five games to reach the conference
championship game and is focused first on
facing Oregon State (4-2, 1-2) on Saturday.
The sky is falling
every single year, Shaw
said. Coaches and play-
ers dont do that. Fans can
do that. Talking heads can
do that. We go back to
work and we try to solve
our problems.
Theres no shortage of
those right now on The
Farm.
Stanford has the conferences lowest scor-
ing offense (24 points per game) and has
committed more turnovers (14) than any
team in the league. Kevin Hogan has been
inconsistent at quarterback and the power
running game that was once a staple has
evaporated.
Most of the struggles are due to a young
offensive line showing more holes than its
opening, and the running backs have been
nowhere near as punishing as Toby Gerhart,
Stepfan Taylor or Tyler Gaffney before them.
Playmakers such as Ty Montgomery, Kelsey
Young and Barry Sanders are getting less
room to roam as a result.
Whats really eating me is, with the per-
sonnel we have, theres no reason to score 10
points against anybody we play, Shaw said.
Shaw shouldered the blame for the
offenses ineptitude and promised to make
dramatic changes, though he said a complete
overhaul is not necessary and a quarter-
back change is not even being considered.
Without mentioning specifics, he said he has
to maximize his players skills better and
take a different approach to move the ball.
Theres a lot of criticism of our offense,
and I deserve it, Shaw said.
The defense is giving up a league-low 12.3
points per game and has been good enough to
win, Shaw said. But, he said, the offenses
struggles have put more pressure on every-
body citing Montgomerys muffed punt
against Arizona State as one example of the
teams best assets trying to do too much.
Cornerback Alex Carter finally admitted as
much. He said the defense feels like it has to
take more chances to create turnovers with
the offense continuing to struggle.
Interceptions are what were after right
now, Carter said. I feel like weve been
doing our job, weve been doing like the
minimal of what we can do. But in order to
really get to that next step, we have to really
start pushing.
Shaw said the teams goal winning a
Pac-12 title has not changed, and he does-
nt need to remind his players that they still
have the opportunity to reach the conference
championship game.
If anything, Shaw said, the criticism from
some fans and media over three losses shows
how far his alma mater has come.
The silver lining to that is weve created a
program where everybody has high expecta-
tions, Shaw said. Thats not a negative
thing. Its not. It feels like it when you dont
reach those expectations. For us, we have
high expectations on our own that were try-
ing to meet.
NOTES: Shaw said NT David Parry (leg) is
doubtful and WR Devon Cajuste (undisclosed
injury) is questionable leading to probable
to play against Oregon State. ... Harrison
Phillips and Nate Lohn are expected to play
more on the defensive line in Parrys
absence. ... Shaw said RG Johnny Caspers
has played well enough to keep his starting
spot but Brendon Austin will get more oppor-
tunities to play at the position.

BOSTON Bostons power play finally
came through with two early goals Tuesday
night.
The other side of the Bruins special teams
unit delivered in the end.
Gregory Campbell netted the game-winner
with less than 10 minutes remaining and the
Bruins fended off a late four-minute San Jose
power play to earn a wild 5-3 win over the
Sharks.
Our special teams tonight were really
good for us and we really needed that against
that team, said Boston coach Claude Julien.
After twice squandering one-goal leads and
overcoming a late deficit, the Bruins took
the lead for good when Campbell tipped a
pass from Daniel Paille through the legs of
San Jose goaltender Antti Niemi with 9:18
left to play.
But Patrice Bergeron drew a double-minor
penalty with 4:09 remaining, leaving the
Bruins short handed against one of the best
power play units on the road this season.
San Jose had converted on five of 15
chances entering the game, and added anoth-
er one in the first period Tuesday.
Bergy kills enough penalties for us,
Campbell said, so its important for us to
do that for him.
Goaltender Tuukka Rask and Boston
staved off the Sharks attack before David
Krejci added an empty-netter with 24. 5 sec-
onds to go to seal the Bruins third win in
four games.
Its pretty huge from our group, especial-
ly when one of your best penalty killers is
in the box for the last four minutes, Julien
said. I thought our guys the last four min-
utes did an unbelievable job of battling
through.
Boston got contributions from nearly half
of its roster, as nine different players record-
ed at least one point.
Brad Marchand and Torey Krug scored
power-play goals, Seth Griffith netted his
first career NHL goal and Milan Lucic had
three assists. Rask made 31 saves.
Youve got to have everybody going
because thats a deep team, a team that com-
petes in a pretty tough conference,
Campbell said. It helps when everybody
can chip in.
Logan Couture had two goals and Joe
Thornton scored against his former team as
San Jose finished its East Coast road trip at
2-2-1.
Patrick Marleau added two assists and
Niemi made 28 saves.
We moved it around we just didnt get
many good looks, Couture said of the final
four minutes. When we had a shot, the puck
bounced on us. We didnt get pucks through
and I dont even know if we got a good qual-
ity scoring chance.
The power play needed to get us one there
and it let the team down.
The Bruins came into the game ranked
20th in the league on the power play, con-
verting on just three of 22 opportunities,
but capitalized on their first one Tuesday
when Marchands wrist shot sailed over
Niemis glove for his first goal of the season
at 13:57 of the opening period.
Sharks cant rally
from early deficit
had gone silent. Or, worse, they were boo-
ing while small Lets go, Giants! chants
echoed through Kauffman Stadium.
Just like that, what many figured would be
a tight matchup had turned into a mismatch.
And it was a good omen for the Giants the
Game 1 winner has won 15 of the last 17
World Series.
The Royals will try to get even in Game 2
on Wednesday night when rookie Yordano
Ventura starts against veteran Jake Peavy.
We didnt expect to come in here and
sweep the San Francisco Giants, Kansas
City manager Ned Yost said. We knew that
this was a series that was going to go deep.
We know how tough they are.
Bumgarner added to his sparkling World
Series resume, improving to 3-0 and extend-
ing his scoreless streak to 21 innings
before Salvador Perez homered with two
outs in the seventh.
I would tell you I wasnt thinking about
it, but you know, Bumgarner said. Theres
no way around it. You know. Theres so
much talk about it. Obviously, a World
Series game is not something you tend to
forget.
The 25-year-old called MadBum by his
teammates was in trouble only once. Down
3-0 in the third, the Royals loaded the bases
with a two-out walk and cleanup man Eric
Hosmer stepped to the plate, but grounded
out on the first pitch.
Bumgarner went on to stretch his road
postseason scoreless streak to a record 32
2-3 innings as the Giants cruised. He
pitched three-hit ball for seven innings,
struck out five and walked one.
Hes special. Hes got that flair for the
spectacular, Pence said. He never makes it
bigger than it is. He just gets out there and
competes.
Michael Morse, getting to play as the des-
ignated hitter in the AL park, had an RBI
single that finished Shields, and reliever
Danny Duffy walked Blanco with the bases
loaded.
Rookie Joe Panik hit an RBI triple that
bounced past usually reliable right fielder
Nori Aoki in the seventh and scored on a
single by October force Pablo Sandoval.
The MVP of the 2012 World Series triumph,
Sandoval also had an RBI double in the first
that extended his postseason streak of
reaching base to 24 straight games.
Pence also doubled and walked.
Were ready to move on tomorrow,
Shields said. Were upbeat. This team came
in here and said, Were going to get them
tomorrow. We have a lot of positive attitude
right now, were tracking at an all-time
high. We just faced a good pitcher tonight.
Before the game, the mood at the ballpark
was positively giddy. Ushers greeted fans
with Welcome to the World Series! and
some hot-dog vendors high-fived each other
behind the counter.
Yet the Giants wrecked that fun, and won
for the 16th time in their last 18 postseason
games.
The Royals had won 11 straight in the
postseason dating to their 1985 champi-
onship run, one short of the record held by a
pair of New York Yankees clubs.
But it was clear from the start that this
would not be their night, and not even the
little things went well.
Early in the game, Kansas City third base
coach Mike Jirschele retrieved a foul ball
and tried to flip it into the stands. Instead,
his toss fell well short of reaching the seats.
Up next
Gi ants : Peavy lost 12 straight decisions
this season, spanning his July trade from
Boston to the Giants. . . . The 33-year-old is
1-3 with a 7. 03 ERA in seven postseason
starts, including an outing for the Red Sox
in last years World Series. He beat
Washington in the NL Division Series and
was pulled after four innings vs. St. Louis in
the NL Championship Series. . . . Royals DH
Billy Butler is 14 for 33 (. 424) with three
HRs off Peavy.
Royal s : The 23-year-old Ventura will
become the first rookie to start a World
Series game at any position for the Royals.
No Giants hitter has ever faced the right-
hander with a 100 mph heater. . . . Ventura
pitched well in an ALDS start against the
Angels and struggled vs. Baltimore in the
ALCS, leaving with a tight shoulder.
No replay needed
The first Series game in the expanded
replay era didnt require a single video
review. But all six umpires quickly huddled
to discuss a foul ball that glanced off Perezs
bat on a bounce, and got it right.

Draper scored on a 5-meter penalty shot for a
3-2 advantage.
In the second period, Aragon blitzed the
Crusaders, scoring on their first five shots of
the quarter. Olivia Tobin gave the Dons a 4-2
lead when she scored following a Mercy
turnover at midpool. She found the back of
the cage again when she drove toward the
goal and Downall delivered a perfect pass
right into Tobins path, who then floated
home a shot with a defender draped on her for
a 5-2 lead.
It was 6-2 when Draper scored her third
goal of the first half off an assist from Tobin
with 5:04 left before halftime. Tobin then
scored her third goal of the period off an
assist from Angela Bonanni for 7-2 Aragon
lead. Draper rounded out the first-half scoring
for the Dons with another power-play goal
with under a minute remaining.
The Crusaders, however, did not pack it in.
A Gomes power-play goal with 34 seconds
left in the second period gave Mercy some
momentum going into the second half.
In the third period, Mercy got back into
the match by outscoring Aragon 3-1 and
closing its deficit to 9-6.
We started to relax and got comfortable,
Tursi said.
Vanessa Kibblewhite got the Mercy rally
started with a goal of an assist from Grace
Casdo, but Aragon answered with a goal from
Downall on a power play.
Kibblewhite found the back of the cage
again when her shot slipped through the
hands of the Aragon goaltender and the
Crusaders trailed by just three when Gomes
scored the third of her four goals from the set.
When Gomes scored from the point on a
power play early in the final period, the
Crusaders were down just two, 9-7.
When they get on a roll, they get on a
roll, Medina said of her team.
The Dons, however, responded and held the
Crusaders at bay the rest of the way. Olivia
Cosca gave Aragon some breathing room
when she scored off an assist from Draper.
Tobin then scored her fourth goal of the
match off an assist from Kepa and Cosca
rounded out the scoring when she walked in
from the wing and put a shot away to put the
Dons up 12-7.

getting a shot off, but scoring one of her four goals during the Dons 12-7 victory. Gomes led
the Crusaders with four goals of her own.
Michael Sam released from
Cowboys practice squad
IRVING, Texas Michael Sam will have
to wait for a third team to give the NFLs
first openly gay player a chance to appear
in a regular-season game.
The Dallas Cowboys released Sam from
the practice squad Tuesday, dropping the
rush end as they prepare for several poten-
tial reinforcements to return to the defen-
sive line.
Sam spent seven weeks with the Cowboys
after joining their practice squad Sept. 3,
four days after he was among the final cuts
by the St. Louis Rams at the end of the pre-
season. He was never placed on the 53-man
active roster.
The Rams drafted the former SEC defen-
sive player of the year from Missouri late in
the seventh round in May. He was pick No.
249 out of 256. Sam had three sacks in the
preseason with St. Louis playing mostly
against second- and third-stringers.
Sam thanked the family of Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones on Twitter, along with
friends, family, teammates, and fans for
their support.
While this is disappointing, I will take
the lessons I learned here in Dallas and con-
tinue to fight for an opportunity to prove
that I can play every Sunday, Sam wrote.
The signing of Sam by the Cowboys
brought an overflow crowd to coach Jason
Garretts daily news conference, and he was
surrounded by about two dozen reporters in
the only interview he conducted on the same
day.

WORLD SERIES GAME 1
CHARLESTON, S.C. Ahigh school foot-
ball coach was fired because of postgame vic-
tory celebrations the district superintendent
said involved players smashing watermelons
and making ape-like sounds.
Superintendent Nancy McGinley said
Tuesday she was contacted last week by a
board member who said the parent of an
opposing player was offended by the celebra-
tions by the mostly white Academic Magnet
High School football team in Charleston
County. The Raptors were smashing water-
melons with smiling faces drawn on them and
eating the fruit as a postgame snack.
The district announced that Bud Walpole
will no longer coach the football team or the
girls basketball team. He is still a teacher at
the school.
A phone listing for Walpole could not be
found. On online petition had 1,500 names
late Tuesday seeking his reinstatement.
McGinley said the district met with players
and students, the head coach and the two assis-
tant coaches last week. She said the coaches
told district officials they were aware of the rit-
ual and they did not observe cultural insensi-
tivity.
She said after victories the team would gath-
er and a face was drawn on a watermelon with
eyes and a nose and a smile showing a mouth-
ful of teeth. While two players smashed the
watermelon, McGinley said the others made
chanting sounds.
It was our conclusion that the accountabil-
ity lies with the adults that the perceptions
and practices that were part of this ritual were
not something that adults should have sanc-
tioned, she said.

of the window we have as a team, Curry said. Coaches
change, but when you have a unit and a core thats sticking
together, its our job to take advantage of it, regardless of
the situation. Thats kind of our motivation. Weve tasted a
little bit of success in the playoffs the last two years, and we
want more.
Here are some things to watch with the Warriors this sea-
son:
Staying healthy
Avoiding major injuries is the key for every team. For the
Warriors, who rely so heavily on their starters, its para-
mount. Golden State was 30-13 when Curry, Thompson,
Iguodala, Lee and Bogut started last season, the best win-
ning percentage of any team in the league.
Bogut said his rib has healed, though his injury history
has some fans uneasy. Several players had offseason proce-
dures, including Iguodala (platelet-rich plasma injection in
right knee), Lee (muscle in his midsection) and Livingston
(right big toe), the only player who has yet to play in the
preseason. Backup center Festus Ezeli, who missed all of
last season recovering from right knee surgery, also has
dealt with soreness in his shin.
Superstar Curry
Curry made his first All-Star team as a starter last season
and will need to continue to evolve as one of the NBAs best
players if the Warriors want to contend in the West. Curry
averaged career-highs of 24 points and 8. 5 assists but also
3. 8 turnovers last season as defenses game planned around
him.
Bench production
The biggest problem for the Warriors other than
injuries last season was their bench, which constantly
wasted leads and forced Jackson to play his starters heavy
minutes. The Warriors signed Livingston and Leandro
Barbosa to shore up the backcourt depth. Theyre hoping
Ezeli can stay healthy and, along with Marresse Speights
and reserve center Ognjen Kuzmic, provide more frontcourt
options. Green and Barnes also will play both forward posi-
tions as Kerr tries to stretch the floor more.
Ball movement
Kerr is trying to inject some energy into the offense this
season with more ball movement, breaking away from the
isolation-heavy style Jackson used. Kerr said his style has
flavors of the triangle offense from his days playing for
Phil Jackson in Chicago, the pace-and-space attack of
Gregg Popovich in San Antonio and the up-tempo schemes
assistant coach Alvin Gentry employed in Phoenix. How
the Warriors deal with the change and how the new phi-
losophy impacts the defense, which ranked fourth in over-
all defensive rating last season will go a long way in
deciding how the season turns out.
Thompsons time
The Warriors refused to include Thompson in any trade
talks with Minnesota for Kevin Love in the offseason,
believing all along that Thompson and Curry could carry
them to a title on their streaky shooting strokes.
Thompson began to validate the decision this summer, daz-
zling during the FIBA World Cup in Spain to help the U. S.
win gold. There will be more expected out of him now, espe-
cially with fans still split about losing Love to Cleveland.
WARRIORS
inside the Bear Cubs 20-yard line.
The biggest special teams play of the day, however, was
Watts onside kick that was successfully recovered by
CSM, which led to the Bulldogs go-ahead touchdown, put-
ting them up 21-14.
While the end result of the onside kick was a positive for
CSM, its execution left something to be desired. The CSM
coaching staff saw something on film during preparation
for the Bear Cubs that led them to think a pooch kick
beyond the first line of defense would allow the Bulldogs to
recover the ball.
The play was put into place hours before the game and
after Pollack asked his defense if it was OK with it, because
if the play failed, the onus would be on the CSM defense to,
shut the door, Pollack said.
What you dont want is not tell the [defense] about it
and we dont get it and they are out there with their tails
between their legs, Pollack said. It can be deflating if
you dont get it.
The kickoff team practiced the pooch kick during prac-
tice last week, to varying degrees of success. Pollack said
Watts was kicking the ball out of bounds about 40 percent
of the time in practice. So when Pollack called for the
onside kick in a tie game, associate head coach Tim Tulloch
told Watts, Just keep it inbounds, Pollack said.
What a lot kids think is that means to take something
off of [the kick], Pollack said. It (the kick) is supposed
to be up above head level, so it basically ended up [a typi-
cal] onside kick.
On top of that, turns out the play was illegal. The games
referee, who was reviewing the video from the game
Monday during a critique session all officials go through
after games, informed Pollack that the CSM player who
recovered the onside kick did not allow Santa Rosa a first
attempt at catching the ball.
He caught it on the fly and the [Santa Rosa] player was
waiting to catch it, Pollack said. They (the Santa Rosa
coaching staff) lodged a complaint on that and I countered
with the block in the back on their 71-yard screen for a
touchdown. That would have been called back, too.
The Bulldogs now turn their attention to De Anza, which
they will face at 1 p. m. Saturday in Cupertino. The Dons
are 0-6 this season and are coming off a 45-21 loss to
Diablo Valley.
They mix it up quite a bit on offense: multiple forma-
tions, very diverse. Theyre everything (offensively) right
now, from wishbone to five wide. I think in their heart of
hearts they want to be four and five wide, Pollack said.
Theyve done a pretty good job up front (defensively). Do
a good job of putting up some resistance up front.
They provide a little bit of a challenge.
CSM water polo
The Lady Bulldogs are entering the final stretch of the
regular season and coach Randy Wright is already prepar-
ing for the Coast Conference tournament, which will deter-
mine the conferences representatives in the Northern
California regional tournament.
While CSM will still have some big matches, none will
be much bigger than todays matchup at Merced. The win-
ner will have a leg up on third place in the conference.
This is for third place. You want third place so you have
an easier path to the conference final, Wright said. You
dont want to be fourth.
CSM has already beaten Merced once this season, in
overtime during the West Valley tournament.
Weve seen Merced. We know what they do. I like to
think weve transitioned to a more dynamic style of
offense (since the first time we played). Theyre more set,
Wright said. We have three different offenses we can go
with. They have a dominant center. If we neutralize their
center, their Plan B is not as good as our Plan B. We have
to disrupt their center and force their other girls to beat us.

PRETORIA, South Africa Oscar Pistorius
was sentenced to ve years in prison Tuesday
for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, com-
pleting a transformation from an acclaimed
sprinter at the 2012 Olympics to a convicted
criminal led away in a police van with barred
windows.
Wearing a dark suit, the double-amputee ath-
lete was subdued when Judge Thokozile
Masipa announced the punishment in a
Pretoria courtroom, ending a televised trial
that was closely followed at home and abroad
by those who once admired him.
The man known as the Blade Runner
because of his carbon-ber running blades
will have to serve 10 months, or one-sixth of
his sentence, in prison before he is eligible to
be moved to house arrest, legal analysts say.
South Africans seemed torn between accept-
ance of the ruling, touted by some as an exam-
ple of judicial accountability in a nation that
shed white racist rule 20
years ago, and nagging
concern that Pistorius
received leniency because
he was rich and famous.
Crime is crime and
youll pay for it, said
Petrus Lekota, a
Johannesburg resident
who noted that Pistorius
well-paid legal team was
unable to keep him out of jail.
However, law student Yazeed Mia was sur-
prised that Masipa had earlier acquitted
Pistorius of murder and instead convicted him
of the lesser crime of culpable homicide, or
negligent killing.
Hes now set a precedent for future crimes,
Mia said. If a man wants to kill his wife, all
he has to do is wait for her to go to the bath-
room and shoot her through the door.
Even if he leaves prison early, his running
career is in doubt. The 27-year-old Pistorius,
who has won six Paralympic gold medals, will
be ineligible to compete in those events dur-
ing the entirety of his ve-year prison sen-
tence, regardless of where it is served, the
International Paralympic Committee said.
Pistorius still could challenge that decision.
The sight of Pistorius racing around the
track on his blades was one of the enduring
and inspirational images of the London
Olympics. Born without bula bones due to a
congenital defect, he had his legs amputated at
11 months old, but grew up playing sports
with prosthetics.
Pistorius won his rst gold medal at the
2004 Paralympics but was banned from com-
peting against able-bodied athletes because it
was argued that his blades gave him an unfair
advantage. He successfully appealed that ban
and later qualied for the London Olympics.
Although he did not win an Olympic medal,
Pistorius was cheered for his achievement, and
he reveled in his appearance. Even though he
nished last in a seminal heat of the 400
meters, he said: To step out in front of a
crowd this massive, its a mind-blowing expe-
rience. Ive had support in the last couple of
days like I have never felt before.
Millions around the world and in South
Africa saw Pistorius as a symbol of determina-
tion over adversity, and he enjoyed lucrative
sponsorship deals, all of them now canceled.
His work with charity, including disabled
children, burnished his image, and people
warmed to his easygoing, charismatic side.
But he also took personal risks with fast cars
and motorbikes, and he said in a 2012 inter-
view with The Associated Press that a 2009
high-speed boat crash made him realize that I
need to make some changes, and some of them
need to be with my lifestyle.
In reaching the verdict against Pistorius last
month, Masipa accepted his account that he
accidentally shot Steenkamp, a 29-year-old
model and television personality, through a
closed toilet door in his home after mistaking
her for an intruder on Valentines Day 2013.

LOCAL/NATION
exchange for use of the pool for its recre-
ation programs and neither side seems satis-
fied with how the arrangement is going. The
district wants to up the citys maintenance
payments for the pool from 70 percent to
90 percent.
If we were to look for new space, theres
not a lot of vacant land in the city, said
City Manager Lisa Goldman at a Monday
night study session. Bayside [has land],
but is not conducive to a pool and an indoor
pool is expensive. A wide open pool up
there would be pretty unpleasant most of the
day.
The Rollins Road area is also a possibili-
ty and theres nothing downtown that would
work for the city, she said. There is no
money set aside to buy property for a pool
though, since its not on the list of unfund-
ed infrastructure projects. A public/private
partnership for funding could work though,
Goldman said.
If staff is going to be looking at an alter-
native site, we need to do that now, said
City Attorney Kathleen Kane.
The city and district have been meeting
both formally and informally to try to
resolve conflicts regarding pool payments.
The current contract expires in 2022 and the
city is trying in good faith to find a good
agreement, Kane said.
There is the possibly of the city not run-
ning an aquatics program as well.
We have the option of not doing it, said
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz. I think its a
great program, but as were going through
this exercise we have to say is it worth
$200, 000 a year? Its a very expensive pro-
gram. What happens if we simply just dont
have a pool? We have to ask if its worth it.
Theres going to be pushback no matter
what the city decides to do, Goldman said.
Still, the city could continue its current
contract with the district, which it has
accused of poor upkeep of the pool and
nickel-and-diming the city. The district,
on the other hand, has said the city is over-
using the pool and the Burlingame Aquatic
Club, or BAC, that operates the pool, is not
doing a good job. The crux of the issue most
recently, and $32, 000 cost, was heaters that
had gone out on the pool. The heater was
replaced in February 2013, with the district
installing state-of-the-art, energy-efficient
Lochinvar heaters, according to the district.
Close to day one, this pool has had a lot
of problems, said Parks and Recreation
Director Margaret Glomstad. Theres going
to be a sizable commitment to fix some of
the problems (deck, equipment and updates
to changing rooms).
Another possibility is changing the
terms of the contract. Currently, the city and
district divide capital costs 50/50. The dis-
tricts use of the pool is minimal, with it
using the pool about 10 percent of the time,
according to an independent audit by the
district.
Were basically waiting to come up with
some type of agreement that works for both
parties, said Liz McManus, deputy superin-
tendent of business services for the district.
If you look at the actual hours used, they
use the pool 91 percent of the time; in many
instances we would not even have the pool
turned on during these hours.
The districts interest is getting full use of
the pool during the different athletic sea-
sons, so after school the athletes could use
the pool.
We are looking to use more hours from
the city of Burlingame; were very hopeful
that that will happen, she said. Were
hopeful well come together with a cost-
sharing calculation that works for both
agencies. Swimming pools are extremely
expensive, require a lot of maintenance
staffing.
Its been a stalemate on negotiations
though, said Mayor Michael Brownrigg.
This agreement, everybody acknowl-
edges, needs to be fixed and we cant agree
with how it needs to be fixed, Brownrigg
said. I would vote for finding alternatives.
We need to set a fish or cut date with the dis-
trict.
It will be important to explore the ques-
tion of if the city needs to have its own
pool, he added. One has to be a person of
means to go to a private pool in the area,
which is one of the benefits of having a
public pool, he said.
Still, it would make the most sense to
negotiate an agreement, as it seems the
most cost effective, said Vice Mayor Terry
Nagel. A professional negotiator could be
worth a try, she added.
I wonder if the district could afford to
operate the pool, Nagel said.
Pool costs wouldnt be a problem for the
district if it was left as the sole financier,
McManus said. She also noted that it would
afford students at the school more program-
ming opportunities.
Another possibility is talking to the
donor who helped finance the pool 15 years
ago on ideas for funding a new pool, said
Councilwoman Ann Keighran.

buildings for 14 months after its final
approval.
Supervisor Don Horsley was the lone dis-
senter, saying he felt it was a private prop-
erty rights issue and did not feel comfortable
telling people they could not use a legal
product within their personal space. Board
President Dave Pine also voiced some con-
cerns but ultimately sided with the majority.
The prohibition only affects multi-unit
housing in the unincorporated areas which
accounts for 1, 069 apartments. Smoking is
banned within 30 feet of the complexes,
including decks, patios and other common
areas. The ban also includes owner-occupied
units which Supervisor Carole Groom, one
of the ordinance co-authors, said was a
sticking point with the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors.
Motels, hotels and single-family homes
with attached or detached in-law units are
exempt from the rules as is medical marijua-
na.
Landlords and building managers must
post no smoking signs in prohibited
areas and include the clause in leases.
However, they are allowed to designate spe-
cific smoking areas as long as the spaces are
30 feet from any door, window or vent.
Groom and Adrienne Tissier began look-
ing at such a ban back in the spring because
they said secondhand smoke can creep
through vents and wall cracks. The supervi-
sors also pushed to include electronic smok-
ing devices in county code, citing studies on
their vapor still releasing nicotine and not
being established as a safer alternative.
The county has a responsibility to pro-
tect the health of our residents, Tissier
said.
The county already has some smoking
bans like a 30-foot radius around any coun-
ty-owned or county-leased building.
Belmont and Daly City also have anti-
smoking housing regulations.
The Health System will be in charge of
enforcing the ban.
At the same meeting, supervisors
approved several steps toward combating
homelessness and increasing affordable
housing. The board approved an immediate
$150, 000 appropriation for the motel
voucher program for homeless families and
agreed that staff should develop a rapid
rehousing pilot program for consideration
next year. Rapid rehousing prioritizes mov-
ing families from shelters as soon as possi-
ble and into permanent housing. The federal
Department of Housing and Urban
Development is expected to change its fund-
ing policy toward rapid rehousing and a
local pilot puts the county in a better posi-
tion to receive money.
Other items included using Measure A
sales tax revenue for two years of the coun-
tys Affordable Housing Fund and finding
land and facilities where affordable housing
might be established.

Former Washington
Post editor Ben Bradlee dies
WASHINGTON In a charmed life of
newspapering, Ben Bradlee seemed always
to be in just the right place.
The raspy-voiced, hard-charging editor
who invigorated The Washington Post got
an early break as a journalist thanks to his
friendship with one president, John F.
Kennedy, and became famous for his role in
toppling another, Richard Nixon, in the
Watergate scandal.
Bradlee died at home Tuesday of natural
causes, the Post reported. He was 93.
Ever the newsman and ever one to chal-
lenge conventional wisdom, Bradlee imag-
ined his own obituary years earlier and found
something within it to quibble over.
Bet me that when I die, he wrote in his
1995 memoir, there will be something in
my obit about how The Washington Post
won 18 Pulitzer prizes while Bradlee was
editor. That, he said, would be bunk. The
prizes are overrated and suspect, he wrote,
and its largely reporters, not newspapers or
their editors, who deserve the credit.
Yet the Posts Pulitzer-winning coverage
of the Watergate scandal is an inextricable
part of Bradlees legacy, and one measure of
his success in transforming the Post from a
sleepy hometown paper into a great nation-
al one.

Cecilia Chiang:
Root of Chinese
food in America
By Suzette Laboy
MIAMI BEACH, Fl a.
Cecilia Chiang is credited with
i nt roduci ng Ameri cans t o t he
taste of authentic Chinese food,
though that wasnt her initial
plan.
Chiang wasnt a chef and had-
nt intended to be an American
restaurateur. It was a case of an
investment falling apart. As the
story goes, in the early 60s she
loaned friends some money to
open a rest aurant i n San
Francisco. Except they backed
out at the last minute and in order
to save the deal, Chiang decided
to do it herself. Maybe it was
my destiny, she said during a
recent interview.
In t i me, t hat busi ness grew
into the citys famed Mandarin
rest aurant , forever changi ng
Chinese food in America. Its a
story few Americans know, but
many more soon will. Chiangs
life is the subject of a new docu-
ment ary fi l m, Soul of a
Banquet , di rect ed by Wayne
Wang (who also directed The
Joy Luck Club).
The film follows Chiang as she
prepares a banquet to honor the
40t h anni versary of Al i ce
Waters Chez Panisse restaurant.
The film an unfinished ver-
sion of which was screened dur-
i ng t he weekend at t he Sout h
Beach Wine and Food Festival
weaves i n det ai l s of Chi angs
life in China before she came to
the U. S. , as well as her familys
struggles while she was running
the Mandarin.
Chiang, 94, grew up in China
at a time when servants did the
cooking. She attended college in
Beijing, but thought shed never
need to work. When the commu-
nists came to power, Chiang and
her family fled to Japan.
A few years later around 1960,
she visited her sister in the U. S.
She had no plans to stay, but
whi l e t here made a l oan t o

NEW YORK America has rejected the
idea of cappuccino-flavored Lays potato
chips.
Frito-Lay says Wasabi Ginger won its
contest that gives people a chance to create
a new flavor, beating out the coffee-flavored
chips and the two other finalists Mango
Salsa and Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese.
Parent company PepsiCo Inc. says about 1
million total votes were cast online for the
Do Us A Flavor promotion, a sales driver it
has launched in more than a dozen countries.
In the U. S. , bags of the four finalist fla-
vors hit shelves in late July and people were
able to vote on Facebook and Twitter for
their favorites through this past weekend. It
was the second year for the U. S. contest,
which is designed to send customers to
stores in search of the flavors. Last years
winner, Cheesy Garlic Bread, is still on
shelves.
The winner, Meneko Spigner McBeth,
was informed at a dinner for finalists
Monday night in New York City. McBeth, a
registered nurse from Deptford, New Jersey,
will get $1 million or a set percentage of a
year in sales, whichever figure is larger.
Ram Krishnan, Frito-Lays chief market-
ing officer, said this years winner is evi-
dence Americans want more ethnic flavors,
even though the top four Lays flavors
remain Original, Barbecue, Cheddar & Sour
Cream and Sour Cream & Onion. He said he
couldnt have imagined Lays selling a
Wasabi Ginger flavor when he joined the
company eight years ago.
Were kind of getting into a new flavor
territory, Krishnan said. When I went to
school, Mexican food was exotic.
As for the cappuccino flavor which was
described as NASTY and gross in some
comments on Lays Facebook page
Krishnan defended its performance,
although he wouldnt say how many votes it
got.
America says no to cappuccino potato chips
The cappuccino flavor chip was described as NASTY and gross in some comments on Lays
Facebook page.

If you want to keep this dish lean serve it as is or over brown rice.
By Alison Ladman
Flank steak isnt particularly Chinese in
origin, but we decided to pretend by dressing
it up with classic Asian flavors.
We start by marinating it in five-spice
powder, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Then
while the steak is absorbing all those rich
flavors, we grate a daikon radish (they
resemble giant white carrots, but have a mild
peppery bite) and toss it grated fresh ginger,
scallions and red bell pepper for a simple
slaw with just enough assertiveness to cut
through the savory heft of the steak.
If you want to keep this dish lean serve it
as is or over brown rice. But if you are will-
ing to embrace carbs, try it slapped on a bun.
PAN-SEARED FLANK
STEAK WITH DAIKON SLAW
Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)
Servings: 4
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 pound flank steak
1 cup shredded daikon radish, patted dry
with paper towels
1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced into thin
matchsticks
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
Pinch of salt
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
In a large zip-close plastic bag, mix
together the black pepper, five-spice pow-
der, red pepper flakes, 3 tablespoons of the
vinegar and soy sauce. Add the flank steak,
seal the bag, then turn to coat evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2
hours.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together
the daikon radish, bell pepper, ginger, salt,
the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar
and the scallions. Set aside.
When you are ready to cook the steak, in a
large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil.
Add the steak and sear for 4 minutes per side,
or until desired doneness. Allow the steak to
rest on a cutting board for 8 minutes. Slice
the steak thinly across the grain, then serve
with the slaw.

Second guilty plea in
California tainted beef case
SAN FRANCISCO A second defendant
has pleaded guilty in a case alleging that a
Northern California slaughterhouse at the
center of a massive recall processed and
distributed tainted beef.
Eugene Corda, an employee of Petaluma-
based Rancho Feeding Corp. , entered the
plea to one count of aiding and abetting in
the distribution of adulterated, misbranded
and uninspected meat earlier this month.
A co-owner of t he sl aught erhouse,
Robert Singleton, also pleaded guilty to
the same charge in August.
The t wo ot her defendant s, co-owner
Jesse Amaral Jr. and Felix Cabrera, are
still facing charges. They have pleaded
not guilty.
Federal prosecut ors say t he owners
schemed wi t h empl oyees t o sl aught er
about 79 cows with skin cancer of the eye.
The plants operations were halted in
February after a series of beef recalls.

changes to the council protocol. Changes
included adding a section that states no one
shall serve as mayor more than one time in
a four-year period. Last year, the council
broke protocol in that it normally selects
the vice mayor based on who garnered the
most votes in the previous election, in this
case Colapietro, and went with Robert
Gottschalk, who is now in line to be mayor.
I was entitled to be vice mayor this year
and I am entitled to be vice mayor in 2015,
she said, according to a meeting video. I
would think the people who cast their vote
in obvious ways would want their person to
be a mayor. If they did not, they would not
cast that many votes that way.
No ones ever been mayor more than once
in year four-year term, said Mayor Wayne
Lee. The city did this to rotate the mayor
position to another person since vice
mayor becomes mayor after the next elec-
tion and Colapietro has more recently
served as mayor in 2012, he said. The next
person in line to be vice mayor would be
Councilwoman Anne Oliva, who had the
most votes in her November 2013 election
cycle, Lee said. This vice mayor and mayor
for the coming year will not be discussed
until the next council meeting though.
Still, Colapietro clearly disagreed with
Lees rationale.
The process was established; it wasnt
broken, it was fair, she said. Other people
have been mayor three times, two times, and
youre saying that you want to deprive a per-
son who won an election by the voters from
being mayor more than once in four years.
Although Oliva and others didnt see a rea-
son for waiting on a vote on the amendment
change, Colapietro strongly pushed for her
request to have the vote moved, which
according to guidelines states that if the
councilmember asks a question or seeks a
clarification that can be easily addressed at
that meeting, the council may determine to
proceed with a confirmation of the rota-
tion.
I have the right to have it pulled; youre
now going to break the rules you afforded to
Councilmember Gottschalk, she said. I
obviously dont think this is easily
addressed. There was not enough informa-
tion to look at the situation and prepare for
the situation. As you recall, this same situa-
tion happened last year and the coun-
cilmember (Gottschalk) asked and received
the OK to have that item pulled and it was
scheduled at the next October meeting, then
a special meeting.
She also noted that she was swamped with
meetings and the staff report for the items
were not released until a few days before the
council meeting.
The consensus was to keep the items on
the agenda, as the request was not strongly
felt by the rest of the council, Lee said. Lee
sparred with Colapietro at times during the
meeting, telling her to not speak out of turn
and told her she should have come prepared
to the meeting.
At the same meeting, the council voted 4-
1 to replace the word citizen with public
in council communications to be less exclu-
sive.
The council will next meet 7 p. m.
Tuesday, Oct. 28 at Council Chambers, 621
Magnolia Ave. in Millbrae, to discuss the
vice mayor and mayor selections for the
coming year.

Midcoast Community Council meet-
ing.
The three-part project seeks to pre-
vent further erosion by repairing the
seawall, ensure safety by construct-
ing a ladder from the road to the beach
and promote coastal access through
repairing the trail, Horsley said.
Currently, the seawall running par-
allel to Highway 1 is made of boulders
and, over the years, erosion has taken
its toll and a portion of the coastal
t rai l foot pat h has col l apsed, sai d
Dant e Hal l , Hal f Moon Bays
Community Development director.
Sometimes people just think those
[boulders] are just decorations, but
the purpose of those are to actually
protect the waves or water from erod-
ing under the road. So whats hap-
pened over time, the seawall thats
there is not sufficient enough to pro-
tect the road from eroding. So this is
an attempt to repair that seawall, that
first barrier from the waves, and also
repai r t he part i al col l apse of t he
road, Hall said.
About 100 feet to 150 feet of the
seawall will be repaired and there are
currently two conceptual designs offi-
cials are considering, Horsley said.
The first is to use similar boulders and
create whats known as riprap retain-
ing wall, the other is to use metal to
create a sheet pile retaining wall,
Horsley said.
An approximate 400-foot segment
of t he coast al t rai l j ust nort h of
Coronado St reet headi ng t oward
Surfers Beach is degraded and sloping
toward the coast. Currently, surfers
and beachgoers climb down the rocks
to access the beach, which can be haz-
ardous, Horsley said.
There will also be a stairway down
to the beach to make sure theres safe
access to the beach. So its meant to
provide really an extension of the
coastal trail, Horsley said. It makes
this walkway safer and more reliable
instead of the way it is now, its pret-
t y much degradi ng and event ual l y
youll have a breach in the roadway
and have to walk into [Highway 1. ]
Ensuring Highway 1 remains viable
is essential to the state and those who
travel to and from the San Mateo
County coast, Caltrans spokeswoman
Gidget Navarro wrote in an email.
[Highway 1] is the main regional
highway serving thousands of people
traveling along the coast and is vital
to the sustainability of the local com-
munity and economy, Navarro wrote.
Sea level rise has played a part in the
acceleration of the erosion of the
beach and roadway embankment. The
design of the improvements will take
into consideration projected sea level
rise in the future.
Multiple funding sources
The project area crosses multiple
jurisdictions and will be undertaken
by the city, county, Caltrans and the
Cal i forni a Coast al Commi ssi on,
Horsley said.
The county and city will work to
secure permits and finalize a design
that passes environmental reviews
and is approved by Caltrans, Horsley
said.
Although various sources offered
different funding amounts, Horsley
said Caltrans is taking responsibility
for the projects construction and will
primarily fund the more than $1. 5
million in improvements.
At its Aug. 19 meeting, the City
Council authorized $20, 000 for the
Mirada Avenue seawall, which is with-
in Half Moon Bays jurisdiction, Hall
said.
The count y wi l l spend about
$350, 000, the Coastal Commission
will add $15, 000 toward the repairing
trail and Caltrans and grants will pick
up the rest, Horsley said. Funding
from the State Highway Operation and
Prot ect i on Program wi l l be used
t oward Cal t rans cost s, Navarro
wrote.
Public involvement
Although the city and county have
agreed on the two preferred design
concepts for the retaining wall, the
details will be narrowed down with the
publ i cs i nvol vement , Hal l and
Horsley said.
We believe in transparency and the
Midcoast Community Council, weve
worked with them frequently and they
were one of t he fi rst peopl e who
talked to us about the needs around
Surfers Beach, as well as some of the
other businesses that asked to be part
of t he process, Horsl ey sai d.
[Well] present these two different
options and get some feedback from
the community. . . . That way we make
sure when we actually do this, its an
alternative that people essentially
feel they had some input on and they
recognize there were some limita-
tions on what we could do.
Horsley said the current seawall has
been in place for decades and although
they hope these repairs will last for
many years, due to sea level rise, this
ultimately will only be a temporary
fix. As Highway 1 is an invaluable
road to everyone who travels along
the San Mateo County coast, Horsley
said its imperative the government
agencies begin to make preparations
for the future.
Its a good temporary fix until such
time the state can decide on realign-
ment (of Highway 1) and we also have
to continue to study sea level rise,
Horsley said. What are the long-term
and short-term impacts and how do we
protect coastside properties?
The Midcoast Community Council
will meet to discuss the Surfers Beach
projects 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. Wednesday,
Oct . 22 at t he Granada Sani t ary
Di st ri ct of f i ce, 504 Av enue

Brown meets with health
care experts about Ebola
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown met with state agency
heads, labor unions and leaders in the health care industry
Tuesday to address Ebola preparedness at
hospitals and other medical facilities
throughout California.
RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of
the states largest nurses union and
National Nurses United, said hospitals
have been slow in responding to the Ebola
threat. The union wants the type of gear
used at premier institutions as well as prac-
tice on how to remove it after caring for an
Ebola patient.
We hope to God that it never comes to
California. But if it does, we want to make sure our nurses
have every safeguard, DeMoro said after the nurses separate
meeting with Brown.
While the administration has not issued any mandates, the
union praised the Democratic governor for his leadership.
The governor also convened meetings with emergency
responders, local health directors and medical providers.
DeMoro said hospitals have inadequate equipment, refer-
ring nurses to websites rather than deploying teams to inter-
act with them. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention announced new guidelines Monday that in part
called for health care workers caring for Ebola patients to
wear face shields, hoods, boot covers and other clothing,
leaving no part of the body exposed.
The association representing hospitals says its members
are working with Californias workplace regulatory agency
to implement the new guidelines.
The safety of patients, hospital employees, first respon-
ders, providers and the public is paramount, according to a
joint statement from the California Hospital Association,
the Association of California Nurse Leaders and the American
Nurses Association-California. Californians can be reas-
sured that universal precautions are in place to screen and
identify infectious diseases.
