Lilian Garcia and her three children must find a new place to call home after the building she lives in was sold and new ownership
announced major renovations. Four families had their leases terminated at the complex at 1824 El Parque Court in San Mateo.

Apartment complex sold, new owners evict every tenant


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

All the families living in a four-unit


apartment complex in San Mateo have had
their leases terminated so new owners can
remodel the aging building.
Tenants at 1824 El Parque Court have
until Aug. 24 to move or face legal action,
according to a letter sent by Raymond Ong
with RWC Property Services.
Longtime owner Eduardo Suarez recently
sold the building to Poyuen and Shulin
Cheng, who plan to start renovating the
building in September.
Ong wouldnt comment on whether the

Chengs would offer the


families any assistance
or more time to move,
for which they are pleading.
Several of the tenants
showed up to a San
Mateo City Council
meeting July 20 to share
their stories and ask for

help, including Reyna
Gutierrez
Gonzalez, an organizer
with the San Francisco Organizing
Project/Peninsula Interfaith Action, a nonprofit that fights for tenant and immigrant
rights.

Gonzalez has advocated on behalf of families who have been evicted from their
homes without reason but never expected to
get an eviction notice herself.
She works in Redwood Shores, attends St.
Matthew Catholic Church in San Mateo and
has lived at El Parque for 12 years.
I have been fighting displacement very
hard and now I am the one being displaced.
It angers me and my family. My grandchildren will have to leave the area, she said at

A unique WWII naval battle


T

he keel of the unique World War II


saga of the SS Stephen Hopkins was
literally laid in the Bay Area: The
ship was built in Richmond, its homeport
was San Francisco and a crew member whose
death in battle became a legend was trained
on the Peninsula.
The lightly armed cargo ship battled two
German warships in the South Atlantic in
1942, sinking one and damaging another
before it went to the ocean bottom, taking
with it Midshipman Cadet Edwin OHara
who was fresh from the temporary merchant
marine college at Coyote Point. A painting
depicting OHaras last moments is a treasured icon at the merchant marine academy at
Kings Point New York where the athletic
hall bears his name. The painting shows
OHara loading the last shell in to the stern
gun of the Hopkins. OHara, who was from
Lindsay in Tulare County and was awarded
the Distinguished Service Medal posthumously, slams the shell while standing near
the bodies of fallen sailors.
It wasnt until 1996 that San Francisco
honored the crew by declaring an SS
Stephen Hopkins Day at the urging of a
woman whose father went down with the
ship. The first and last voyage of the liberty ship reads like a Hollywood script. The
freighter faced two German ships, one the
heavily-armed raider Stier, in the South
Atlantic on Sept. 27, 1942. The Stier had

According
to

42, plus 15 Navy sailors to work its guns,

survived after a 31-day voyage in an open
lifeboat that brought them to Brazil. The
Merchant Marine said the battle marked the
only time a freighter sank a raider.

called San Mateo Point by the federal government, was needed because Merchant

November of 1944 there were 528 cadetmidshipmen enrolled at Coyote Point,


where there is a monument to the sailors
who passed through the classrooms.
According to the Merchant Marine website,
the school consisted of 14 barracks, classrooms, a gym and a machine shop. There
also was a swimming pool and diving tower,
really a jumping tower. Lifejacket-wearing
cadets where taught to drop feet first from
the tower to break any debris from an abandoned ship. The pool was also used to teach
sailors how to survive a blazing oil fire,
which many would soon face.
Those who jumped off the tower included
John Cattermole who remembers jumping
in to a lot of mud at low tide. He went on to
sail in the Pacific, bringing supplies to
Guadalcanal, Leyte and Makin Island where
a Japanese torpedo plane attacked his ship.
The torpedo passed under the ship without hitting it, he said. Good thing because
we were loaded with high octane fuel.
We learned important things at Coyote
Point but most of our training was on the
job aboard ship, he said. There was a lot
of classroom time about seamanship, standard rules of the road, things like that. I
ended up in the engine room.
The cadets seamanship skills needed
work, Cattermole said. We hit the
Dumbarton Bridge while learning how to
row a lifeboat.

Flood-prone creek to be dredged


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The ood-prone Belmont Creek


and another channel along Holly
Street near Highway 101 in San
Carlos are set for some major
dredging work as they are currently lled with sediment, vegetation
and debris that cause water ows to
choke when moving through
the channels.
The San Carlos City Council is
set to approve a $1.7 million contract at its Monday night meeting
to remove the sediment that has
caused some big oods on
Industrial Road when the channels
overow.

A portion of the 101-Holly


East/West Channel is in Redwood
City, which will chip in approximately $200,000 for the sediment
removal.
The city has experienced ooding and drainage issues at multiple
locations along Industrial Road,
according to a staff report by
Public Works Director Jay Walter.
Cleaning the channel and restoring the section of the channel will
greatly reduce the ood risk at
upstream inlets in the industrial
area, according to Walters report.
City staff is working with all
the regulatory agencies and
Caltrans to secure the necessary

permits prior to start of the sediment removal operation.


California Department of Fish
and Wildlife rules limit the sediment removal between Aug. 30
and Oct. 3, according to Walters
report.
Flooding has been so bad in the
area over the years that private
pharmaceutical rm Novartis has
spent millions of dollars repairing and preventing damage from
water overows.
While the creek ooding is
problematic for multiple businesses neighboring the creek,
Novartis is particularly hard hit
because of the extra stringent

cleanliness standard required in its


line of business.
In 2010, Novartis had to shut
down manufacturing for more than
two weeks when the water overowed near Old County Road and
traveled along Quarry Road to the
Novartis property. The company
spent $615,000 on repair costs.
In 2012, Novartis spearheaded a
watershed study to see what else
besides dredging every 10 years
could be done.
The studys result is a series of
options, including a preferred proposal for an upsized bypass culvert along Harbor Boulevard that
would discharge the creek just

Air district may chip in for Caltrain electrification


Bay Area Air Quality Management District set to give $20 million for transit project
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making room for more


commuters on the increasingly
popular Caltrain line could get a
nancial boost from air quality
ofcials who are considering allocating $20 million toward the
transit agencys plans to ditch the
diesel and go electric.
Next Wednesday, the Bay Area
Air Quality Management Districts
Board of Directors will discuss a
ve-year deal to help fund
Caltrains Modernization Program
which seeks to electrify the
track between San Francisco and
San Jose, purchase electric trains
and increase capacity.
Theres a nexus between
Caltrains nearly $1. 5 billion
effort and the air districts goals,
said Deputy Air Pollution Control
Ofcer Damian Breen.

Advantages for commuters


While the project is anticipated
to have signicant advantages for
commuters, communities along
the entire rail line are also slated
to benet, Breen said.
Theres a direct health impact
from the emissions in our region;
diesel particulate matter is the
highest source of cancer health
risk in our region, Breen said.
By taking diesel trains off ...
tracks and by reducing the number

of vehicles that have to travel on


our roads, were improving the air
quality for everybody in the
region.
Drivers are helping to fund the
proposed grant as 2004 legislation added a $2 vehicle registration surcharge that contributes to
the states Air Districts Mobile
Source Incentive Fund, which supports programs aimed at reducing
emissions and particulate matter,
according to a staff report.
With Caltrain often at capacity
and ridership anticipated to
increase, the regional transit
agency has an opportunity to
make a huge impact on air quality
and the general health of Bay Area
residents, said David Canepa, a
Daly City councilman who represents San Mateo County on the air
districts Board of Directors.
The capacity issue is really sort
of holding us back in terms of
really unleashing people into the
system. So with electrication,
this will create a tremendous,
tremendous amount of capacity,
Canepa said. What we essentially
have now is dirty locomotives.
What we are doing [with electrication] is we are saying this is
the cleanest way to move people.
So were moving from locomotives that heavily pollute the air
to a system thats electric and will
reduce our GHGs (greenhouse
gases) signicantly.
Caltrain seeks to replace 75 percent of its eet with electric trains

by 2020, thereby reducing nearly


235,000 vehicle miles traveled
per day. Full electrication by
2040 will reduce an estimated
619,000 vehicle miles traveled
per day, according to the report.
Were very pleased to have the
support of the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District on
this project. It is probably one of
the most impactful environmental
projects that our region will take
on in the next 10 years. With the
introduction of electrication, we
will be cutting greenhouse gas
emissions along the rail corridor
by up to 97 percent by 2040, said
Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann.
As its current diesel eet consumers an estimated 3.4 million
gallons per year, Breen said electrication will signicantly
improve air quality throughout the
region.
Eighty-three percent of the
health risks from toxic air contamination in the Bay Area region
comes from diesel particulate matter and thats emitted by trucks,
trains, agricultural tractors, construction equipment, ships and
cargo handling equipment and
some of the largest sources of that
are obviously trains, Breen said
noting some of the largest trucks
on the highway top off at 575
horsepower while typical diesel
trains are around 3,000 horsepower.
Air district and Caltrain staff

will work out a funding schedule


whereby Caltrain receives the $20
million in various annual amounts
through 2020 which may uctuate based on the amount of revenue
the district receives through the
vehicle registration surcharge
fund. As part of the deal, Caltrain
will have to agree to scrap some of
its existing locomotives after
theyre taken out of service, Breen
said. However, because the corridor between San Jose and Gilroy
will not be electried, Caltrain
must keep a portion of its diesel
eet.

Funding gap
The entire modernization program is slated to receive funds
from a variety of sources and currently, theres an approximate
$450 million funding gap,
Ackemann said.
While the $20 million may only
make a slight dent in that amount,
it will provide leverage as the
agency seeks other grants,
Ackemann said.
Every bit helps. We do have a
funding gap of around $450 million and there are some federal
programs that we can apply for to
help close that gap. But they will
require that we have local matching funds and that money the Bay
Area Air Quality Management
District is providing can be used
as local matching funds to help
leverage even more money,

Ackemann said.
The transit agencys customer
base has exploded in seeing a 71
percent increase in ridership over
the last ve years alone and its
current 58, 000 boardings per
weekday is expected to increase to
110,000 daily boardings by 2040,
according to the report.
With cities across the region
moving toward transit-oriented
development plans, Canepa said
supporting projects that will
make riding the rail more convenient is a benet to the entire
region.
This comes down to livable,
walkable communities and people
are not going to use public transportation if it is not convenient,
Canepa said. So if were able to
make it easier for people to move
throughout the system, obviously

New superintendent comes full circle


Joan Rosas returns to San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When Joan Rosas accepted an


offer to become the new superintendent of the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District,
it marked a homecoming for the
lifelong educator.
Rosas signed on to become the
districts top administrator last
month, replacing former superintendent Cynthia Simms, who
retired at the end of the school
year.
She is three weeks into her
return to the local elementary
school district where she established herself, prior to leaving in
2011 to be assistant superintendent of Student Services in the
office of San Mateo County
Superintendent Anne Campbell.
And though she appreciated the
time working at the county Office
of Education, when granted the
opportunity to return to the elementary school district from
where her four grandsons graduated , she jumped at it.
This is a very innovative and
exciting place to work, said
Rosas.
The 55-year-old San Mateo resident was born in Denver, but graduated from Hillsdale High School,
before going on to get her undergraduate degree in Spanish from
California State University East
Bay.
Initially, she said it was not her
intention to pursue a career in education, but eventually developed a

sense that she


might
have
something to
offer
young
learners,
so
she went back
to get a secondary degree
from
the
University of
Joan Rosas
San Francisco
which allowed her to teach.
Rosas, who now has more than
three decades of working in education, said she has an insatiable
desire to positively impact the
lives of the local community.
This is the greatest opportunity I have to support students and
families, she said.

From teacher to
administrator
As she rose through the ranks of
the education system from teacher,
to principal, to administrator and
eventually superintendent, Rosas
said that same outlook has guided
her.
In applying her expertise,
Rosas was able to combine her
love for foreign language and passion for education in founding
Fiesta Gardens International
School in San Mateo, while working for the local elementary
school district, where she served
as principal prior to accepting a
promotion into an administrative
role.
In returning to the district, she
said she has appreciated the

opportunity to see how the programs she helped found or develop


during her previous tenure have
grown to fill the needs of students.
Its a pleasure to see the work
put into place years later, she
said.
Nearly 75 percent of the staff
Rosas worked with during her previous time at the district are still
employed, which has helped ease
the transition back into her former
workplace, said Rosas.
During her time away, Rosas ran
the Student Services department
for the county Office of Education,
which has helped her develop a
vision of the types of the services
she hopes can be implemented at
the elementary school district.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education serves students who are
incarcerated, expelled, require special education or want career technical training, which Rosas said
broadened her perspective on the
needs of local students.
She said her exposure to serving
such a diverse population of students aided her in creating concepts for programs which might
prevent some students in San
Mateo and Foster City elementary
schools from derailing their education.
Catering to the social and emotional needs of students is one of
her primary goals as superintendent, said Rosas.
Other points of emphasis
include meeting the demands of
constantly evolving state education requirements, developing

early literacy programs for young


students and creating more innovative curriculum, said Rosas.
Perhaps the most pressing and
immediate issue though is leading
the district through its quest to
find more classroom space to
accommodate growing enrollment, said Rosas.
Officials are leaning toward asking residents in San Mateo and
Foster City to support a tax on the
November ballot which would
finance the construction of new
classrooms throughout the district.

Overcrowding
A subcommittee formed to
investigate the variety of available options to increase classroom space has developed a strategy to solve most of the districts
capacity and equity concerns, with
the exception of how to fix overcrowding in Foster City elementary schools.
The district Board of Trustees
recommended officials negotiate
with owners of Charter Square
Shopping Center in Foster City in
an effort to purchase the site and
build a fourth elementary school.
Representatives from Westlake
Realty, which controls Charter
Square, have been open and receptive to negotiations, but no agreement has been reached, said
Rosas.
Should the two sides not be able
to come to an agreement, Rosas
said it is likely the district would

No injuries when plane crashes
An aircraft crashed Saturday evening after
leaving a San Carlos airport, according to
the San Mateo County Public Safety

still need to pursue a bond measure, which would subsidize construction of new classrooms on
existing Foster City elementary
school campuses.

Tax measures
And though San Mateo residents
can expect to be asked to support
tax measures on the same ballot to
benefit both the city and school
district, Rosas said she believes
there is a general willingness to
subsidize efforts to improve the
education of local students.
The San Mateo and Foster City
communities have also been
extremely supportive, she said.
Beyond her role as an administrator, Rosas said it may not be
uncommon for people to see her
pulling away from the district
office wearing a cowboy hat, in a
big red pickup truck on her way to
visit her four horses.
Rosas husband Tom recently
died, and she has taken up care of
his horses to maintain his legacy.
She said the past seven months
have been filled with opportunities to expand her knowledge of
how to care for, exercise and enjoy
owning three quarter horses and
one Arabian horse.
So even as the educator returns
to familiar stomping grounds, she
continues to learn, same as the
students she serves.

A Daly City resident has been arrested on
suspicion of vehicular manslaughter after a
fatal collision on state Highway 1 in
Pacifica Saturday evening, according to
police.
Ana Reepen, 41, was taken into custody
on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and
felony DUI causing death after Pacifica
police responded to the scene of a head-on
collision on northbound Highway 1 north
of Crespi Drive at roughly 6:45 p. m.
Saturday.
Both drivers were taken to a hospital for
medical treatment. One of them, a 54-yearold Pacifica resident, later died. The victims identity is being withheld pending

Pedestrian killed on Highway 101


A man was fatally struck by a vehicle on
U.S. Highway 101 after getting out of his
vehicle near South San Francisco Sunday
morning.
The incident was first reported as a vehicle stopped in the northbound lanes of the
highway around 5:20 a.m., south of the
Sierra Point Parkway off-ramp. Shortly
after that dispatchers began receiving
reports of a body lying in the roadway in the
southbound lanes, according to the CHP.
It was not clear whether the driver climbed
over the guard rail himself and was struck by
a southbound vehicle or if he was struck by
a northbound vehicle and thrown into the
southbound lanes, according to the CHP.
The victim has been identified only as a
resident of San Mateo County in his late
30s, according to the CHP. His name has
not yet been released, and his city of residence is still in question.
A Sig-alert was issued for Highway 101 at
5:30 a.m., but the roadway had cleared by
7:55 a.m., according to the CHP.

Obama: Kenya sits between peril and promise


By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, Kenya Declaring


Kenya at a crossroads between
promise and peril, President
Barack Obama on Sunday pressed
the nation of his fathers birth to
root out corruption, treat women
and minorities as equal citizens,
and take responsibility for its
future.
Closing his historic visit with
an address to the Kenyan people,
Obama traced the arc of the countrys evolution from colonialism
to independence, as well as his
own familys history here. Today,
Obama said, young Kenyans are
no longer constrained by the limited options of his grandfather, a
cook for the countrys former
British rulers, or his father, who
left to seek an education in
America.
Because of Kenyas progress
because of your potential you

can build your


future
right
here,
right
now, Obama
told the crowd
of
4, 500
packed into a
sports arena in
the capital of
Barack Obama Nairobi. But he
bluntly warned
that Kenya must make tough
choices to bolster its fragile
democracy and fast-growing economy.
Obamas visit here, his first as
president, captivated a country
that views him as a local son.
Thick crowds lined the roadways
to watch the presidential motorcade speed through the city
Sunday, some climbing on
rooftops to get a better view. The
audience inside the arena chanted
his name as he finished his
remarks.
The president left Kenya Sunday

afternoon, pausing longer than


normal atop the stairs to Air Force
One to wave to the crowd, a huge
grin on his face. He arrived two
hours later in Addis Ababa, the
Ethiopian capital, where he met
with diplomats at the U. S.
Embassy in the evening.
Obama has written emotionally
about his first visit to Kenya as a
young man nearly 30 years ago,
and he recounted many of those
same memories in his remarks
Sunday. The battered Volkswagen
his sister drove. Meeting his
brothers for the first time. The airport employee who recognized his
last name.
That was the first time that my
name meant something, he said.
The president barely knew his
father, who died in 1982 after
leaving the U. S. to return to
Kenya.
However, Obama has numerous
family members in the country,
including his half-sister Auma

Assad admits manpower shortage


By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT In his first public


address in a year, embattled Syrian
President Bashar Assad vowed
Sunday to win his countrys longrunning civil war while acknowledging his troops had lost territory to rebel forces and were running
short on manpower.
Assads speech, while confident, came in the fifth year of a
conflict pitting his forces against
rebels, Islamist insurgents and the
extremist Islamic State group.
Turkey, which has long backed the
rebels, has begun striking the IS
group and Kurdish fighters battling the extremists, adding a new
layer of complexity to a brutal war
with no end in sight.
Assads televised speech Sunday

morning, given
to local dignitaries in the
Syrian capital,
Damascus, was
his first public
address since he
was sworn in for
a third, sevenBashar Assad year term in
July last year.
Assad has given interviews to several Arab and international media
outlets in the meantime.
Assad acknowledged that his
generals have had to move forces
from one front to another in order
to protect areas that are militarily,
politically or economically more
important. He added that the loss
of some areas to insurgents has led
to frustration among Syrians.
Syrian forces have suffered sev-

eral setbacks since March, including the loss of the northwestern


city of Idlib, the capital of a
province that borders Turkey. In
May, the government lost the historic central town of Palmyra to IS
extremists, who also captured
parts of the city of Hassakeh.
Those losses could be partially
offset by greater support from the
governments key ally, Iran, now
that Tehran has agreed to a nuclear
deal with world powers that would
see international sanctions lifted.
We are not collapsing. We are
steadfast and will achieve victory.
Defeat does not exist in the dictionary of the Syrian Arab army,
he said. Assad tried to justify the
loss of some areas, including
Idlib. Assad-allied forces, including fighters from the Lebanese
militant group Hezbollah.

Obama, who introduced her brother Sunday.


Hes one of us, she said. But
were happy to share him with the
world.
The bulk of Obamas address was
a candid commentary on the East
African nations future. He spent
considerable time warning about
the risks of government corruption, calling it an anchor that
could weigh down the countrys
promising future.
Too often here in Kenya corruption is tolerated because thats
how its always been done, he
said. Here in Kenya, its time to
change habits.
Kenyan
President
Uhuru
Kenyatta has taken steps to tackle
corruption by suspending four
Cabinet secretaries and 16 other
senior officials amid an investigation into allegations of dishonesty. But the action has been met
with skepticism by the public
because in the past, suspensions

of senior officials havent resulted


in anyone being convicted of a
crime. Some officials even
returned to their jobs before investigations were complete.
Kenyatta has been under public
pressure to address corruption following reviews of his two-yearold government that claimed his
administration is more corrupt
than previous administrations.
Obama urged an end to old tribal
and ethnic divisions that are
doomed to tear our country apart.
He spent significant time imploring Kenyans to respect the rights
of women and girls, saying that
marginalizing half of a countrys
population is stupid. And he
called for an end to forced marriages for girls who should otherwise be attending school and the
tradition known as genital mutilation.
These traditions may date back
centuries. They have no place in
the 21st century, he said.

State-run health insurance


markets struggle with cost
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON State-run
health insurance markets that offer
coverage under President Barack
Obamas health law are struggling
with high costs and disappointing
enrollment. These challenges
could lead more of them to turn
over operations to the federal government or join forces with other
states.
Hawaiis marketplace, the latest
cautionary tale, was awarded $205
million in federal startup grants. It
has spent about $139 million and
enrolled 8,200 customers for individual coverage in 2015. Unable
to sustain itself, the state marketplace is turning over sign-ups to
the federal HealthCare. gov for
2016.

Twelve states and the District of


Columbia fully control their markets. Experts estimate about half
face financial difficulties. Federal
taxpayers invested nearly $5 billion in startup grants to the states,
expecting that state markets would
become self-sustaining. Most of
the federal money has been spent,
and states have to face the consequences.
The viability of state health
insurance exchanges has been a
challenge across the country, particularly in small states, due to
insufficient numbers of uninsured
residents, said a statement from
the office of Hawaii Democratic
Gov. David Ige, announcing last
month that his states sign-ups
were being turned over to the federal government.

Guest perspective

Big Data is good, Smart Data is better


and signify an
even more promising future.
So, we know Big
Data is progressing, but is it prospering? The quick
answer is that
without transforming into Smart

By Jahan Alamzad

or ages, people observed the


sun rising from the east and
setting on the west, everyday
with no interruption. They then concluded from that very large volume of
data that the Earth was at and the sun
circled the Earth daily.
That was not necessarily one of the
early failures of what we now call Big
Data. For many purposes, even today,
the Earth being round or at really
doesnt matter. The daily work attorneys, accountants, bankers, farmers
and some others perform does not
depend on the Earths roundness.
But, if you are in the business of
long-haul transportation, or sending
satellites to the orbit to monitor
weather patterns, then it is vitally
important for you to get that shape
right. And thats what Galileo argued
in the 17th century. That the large
volume of daily observations for sunrise and sunset leading to the conclusion that the sun circles the Earth,
does not explain certain other facts
and events.
People can repeatedly go to various
bars and order their favorite liquor
with water, and then get drunk.
Collecting that data in large volume,
and do simple analysis, can mislead
us to believe drinking water gets you
drunk! An example of why correlation
is not always causation.
Big Data is real and good. The contributions of Big Data in health care,
nancial services, retail, transportation, etc., are enormous and irreversible. Data is cheap these days,
and is getting cheaper. Sources of data
are so varied now, and are expanding
via awesome technologies, e.g.,
speech, photo and video recognition.
Powerful sensor capabilities have
opened a new frontier in automated
data collection. Technologies to store
and retrieve quickly large volumes of
data are also making leaps forward,

Data, it is not.
Ginni Rometty, chairman and CEO
of IBM, has surmised it the best. She
has compared Big Data to natural
resources. Abundance of natural
resources would not make any country
rich and prosperous unless those
resources are further rened and
processed into commodities that can
be utilized in making, or used by,
industrial products. The same is true
for Big Data. Holding on to massive
amounts of data does not create benet, until the data is processed into
information that helps making better
decisions.
It is easy to make this argument in
the Bay Area as not only our lives are
touched by colossal amount of data
every day, but the Bay Area has made
those touches possible, and will continue to lead the charge.
Sophisticated decision technologies, often referred to as advanced
analytics, have also been pioneered
in the Bay Area. Combining breakthroughs in computer science with
analytical methods for decision making creates that awesome power that
data can unleash. And, thats Smart
Data!
The human mind is exceptionally
adept in recognizing patterns. It continually strives to put a pattern paradigm on observations. Thats useful,
and is what we commonly term intuitive once the mind has learned the
pattern and can associate observations with it.
However, the mind is notoriously
inept in processing probabilities.

Hardly a person can be found to buy a


lottery ticket that includes all the
same digit or letter. While that has
the same probability of winning as
any other combination, since it
sounds not quite that random, then
most likely no one would go for it.
The fact that if just 23 people are
randomly selected, there is a 50 percent probability that two of them
have the same birthday is not something that the mind can process without analytical help. So is the case
when difcult decisions in face of
uncertainties need to be made.
Relying on intuition rather than analytical methodologies can only bring
ruins for organizations.
It then behooves us to differentiate
between simple data analysis and
advanced analytics, between data and
information, and ultimately between
Big Data and Smart Data. It is not
easy or straightforward to do that.
But, not doing so beholds only perils.
Distinguished contemporary psychologist Steven Pinker has said,
Cognitive psychology tells us that
the unaided human mind is vulnerable
to many fallacies and illusions
because of its reliance on its memory
for vivid anecdotes rather than systematic statistics. George Bernard
Shaw said the same even more simply, It is a mark of a truly intelligent
person to be moved by statistics.
Of course, bad or incomplete analysis can lead to wrong conclusions,
pushing many to dismiss analytical
approaches. Mark Twain famously
said, There are lies, damn lies, and
statistics. Thats revelation of frustration for trivialization via statistics. It is bad and dangerous.
So the next time someone is selling
Big Data, ask wheres the beef?

Has Belmont
avoided civil war?

aybe civil war is a little strong but with a proposed


referendum to undo City Council actions lessening
restrictions on house size and tree protection,
many citizens were eager for battle at the ballot box. Instead,
Belmont Councilman Charles Stone and his colleagues introduced measures to repeal the controversial zoning revisions
and meet citizen concerns half-way. The proposed referendum
is now null and void. The council will be forming modied
regulations in the coming months with citizen input.
Whether this process will satisfy the more than 2,000 who
signed the referendum
remains to be seen. But it
avoids a nasty city brawl
between those who want
strict restrictions on growth
and those who want to
expand their homes.
It is also unclear how this
recent battle will impact the
upcoming November election
where there are two council
vacancies. Mayor David
Braunstein and
Councilwoman Cathy Wright
are not seeking re-election.
Douglas Kim and Davina Hurt
have already taken out
papers. They are more aligned
with the present council
majority of Stone, Eric Reed
and Warren Lieberman. Kim is the chair of the citys Planning
Commission and director of planning for SamTrans. Hurt, an
attorney, is the vice chair of the Planning Commission and a
former Chamber of Commerce board member.
Kristen Mercer, former planning commissioner and former
council candidate, is also considering a run. She is more in
line with those who signed the referendum. And there may be
others who take the plunge before the August deadline.
I asked former mayor Coralin Feierbach, who helped with
the referendum signature collection, if she would be interested. Feierbach, known for her feisty and passionate defense of
keeping Belmont small and open space large, has no wish to
revisit old wounds. Her last term on the council was marked
with bitterness which affected her health. She feels the present council is more interested in meeting the needs of new and
young residents and not those of the old-timers who like the
village style of hilly Belmont just as it is. Belmont politics
can get personal. For years, the city had a history of revolving city managers and council feuds. But that changed as more
like-minded councilmembers were elected. The present ve
have worked well together. It will be interesting to see what
November brings.

Stacey Wagner, director of Public Affairs for Kaiser
Permanente in San Mateo County, invited me to tour their
new Redwood City medical center some months ago. Its still
bright and shiny after opening in December 2014. Like all
modern hospitals, its architecture and furnishings are meant
to soothe and entertain. No more drab halls and crowded hospital rooms. The new structures are more like fancy hotels.
This Kaiser has 145 private rooms with extra space for a family member to sleep over. Theres room service to order
meals, WiFi and an interactive large screen where patients can
watch movies and TV on demand, review their care plans,
play electronic games and connect to the Internet.
Wagner said the hospital is pursuing LEED Silver certication for being sustainably built. They received a $500,000
rebate from PG&E for energy efciency efforts and use of natural light and thicker glass windows. Every Kaiser hospital

Kaiser opened an ofce in Oakland to provide care for its
20,000 workers who built ships during World War II. The
Permanente Health Plan included preventive medicine and education for members about maintaining their own health, a
model which most health institutions try to emulate today.

According to Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, his Assembly Bill

Brain disorder center closes


By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. When Tyler


Richardsons son hit puberty, the
combination of hormones and
new strength from a growth spurt
added an element of danger to a
long history of unpredictable
behavior because of autism and
severe anger problems.
He wandered outside one day
after his aides left his grandmothers home, where he was living.
Grandma tried to bring him back
inside, and he eventually followed. But once in the kitchen, he
attacked her, latching on and taking her to the ground.
Then, he bit off her finger.
Richardson loved his son, but
something had to give. After a
long, nationwide search and
episodes of trial and error, the
northern Colorado man contacted
Lakeview NeuroRehabilitation
Center in Effingham, New
Hampshire, an 88-bed facility
near the Maine border for people
with traumatic brain injuries and
other developmental disabilities.
It was the only such center he
could find with an available bed
that would take his son.
Its probably one of the toughest things that I think anyone has
to go through, Richardson said.
Just to find somebody to help us
find a program was really hard.
About a year later, Richardson is
back where he started. Lakeview is
preparing to close after months of

scrutiny over allegations of abuse


and neglect, including a client
death and reports of chronic understaffing. The paucity of such centers for people with extreme brain
disorders and related behavioral
problems means the closing is
sending national ripples through
the industry and stressing out families who need to move their love
ones from Lakeview, as well as
others who have lost yet another
option.
During the past year, 19 states
and Washington, D.C., sent people to Lakeview, a private facility
which has been home to male and
female residents ranging from age
8 to their late 40s. Just a quarter of
the 140 people who have lived
there in the past year came from
New Hampshire.

Path to closure
As of 2013, 13 states had shut
down state-run developmental
centers, and many more are on the
path to closure.
The shutdowns are partly a
reflection of a trend of states moving away from placing people in
institutions and focusing instead
on caring for them within their
homes and communities. But
sometimes,
like
with
Richardsons son, institutionalization makes more sense.
Lakeview and only a handful of
other centers serve people who
exhibit high-risk, often violent
behaviors coupled with develop-

mental or intellectual disabilities,


meaning they require constant
care, often from multiple people.
Community care, such as a home
with a few other residents and caregivers within a neighborhood,
works for most people with developmental or intellectual disabilities, said John Finn, a former
treatment expert for the New York
government who now does consulting work for New Hampshire
agencies. But that type of setting
doesnt work in the most extreme
cases, in which five or six aides
might need to control a violent
outburst.
As they close those developmental centers, if they dont create
an alternative place for those really high risk people ... then the
problem the parents have
becomes very real, said, Finn,
who couldnt offer an exact number of centers that serve such
patients.
New Hampshire Gov. Maggie
Hassan put a moratorium on sending new clients to Lakeview after a
damning investigation from the
Disability Rights Center, the
states federally designated protection and advocacy system for people with disabilities. Hassan initiated daily monitoring of Lakeview
and hired a consultant to examine
licensing for similar facilities.
The state education commissioner
also ordered the school at
Lakeview shut down in part
because it lacked a curriculum and
failed to meet other state require-

ments.
The state did not order Lakeview
to shut down. That was the decision
of its owner, who said it would be
too costly to keep it running with
the school closed and the moratorium on new patients. It costs about
$800 to $1,500 a day to send someone to Lakeview, a cost covered primarily through Medicaid. The rates
for residents in other states vary.
State health officials said Lakeview
was also at risk of losing its license
as administrators struggled to correct problems.
Lakeview has made strides in
care quality, and news reports have
been preoccupied by a handful of
extreme problems in the past, said
Tammy Baxter, who was hired
eight months ago to improve quality assurance. She worries that
some of Lakeviews clients could
end up in psychiatric wards or jail
if they dont find a new home
base.
You didnt make it to Lakeview
because you had a negative outcome in the community one time,
Baxter said. People had to fail in
multiple group homes and multiple facilities before they ever
became a client at Lakeview.
Since the announcement, residents have been trickling out on
their way to other placements in
New England and across the country. The tentative closing date is
Aug. 1, but administrators say
they plan to stay open until everyone has somewhere to go.
Just 10 clients remain.

Richardsons son is one of them,


and hes been looking for another
placement for nearly three
months.

No answers
Whats the worst-case scenario? I ask that question all the
time, and no one can really tell me
what the worst-case scenario is,
he said. He has to have intense
help every day for every area, and
theres just not a lot of places that
can do it or are willing to do it or
want to do it.
Kimie
Hirabayashi,
of
Honolulu, sent her teenage son to
Lakeview after trying a number of
placements at public and private
schools in her home state. He has
attention deficit-hyperactivity
disorder, Aspergers syndrome,
high anxiety and intermittent
explosive disorder, she said. The
family needed to hire a private
transportation company to fly
him to New Hampshire because he
cant travel on a commercial airline.
Hirabayashi describes her sons
experience at Lakeview as positive. His behavior had improved
there, and she was preparing to
move him to another school with
bigger classrooms and more interaction with other students when
news came that Lakeview would
close. After submitting at least 20
applications, she found an allboys school in Massachusetts to
take her son.

On-demand doctor apps bring Uber approach to medicine


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON It was 8
oclock on a weeknight and
Brooklyn resident Sarah Sheehan
was reeling from a painful earache.
She wouldnt be able to see her
doctor until the next morning, and
that would require a 45-minute subway ride uptown. Thats when
Sheehan, co-founder of an education technology business, remembered receiving a promotional
code for a new company called
Pager, an Uber-like service that
sends doctors to patients homes.
Pager and similar companies
like Heal and Medicast aim to
streamline medical care -- cutting

out waiting rooms, receptionists


and trips to the doctors office.
Its a completely different
experience when youre sick and
able to stay in your pajamas,
says Sheehan. Someone comes
to your home, theyre kind to you,
they answer all your questions and
give you all the time you need.
But some doctors warn there
could be drawbacks to convenience-driven medical care, especially if it disrupts an already complex, fragmented health care system. As the app makers search for
a sustainable business model,
however, it appears they are more
likely to end up working with traditional medical providers, than

against them.
House calls were once commonplace in the U.S. Today, 9 out of
10 general practitioners say they
do not typically make house calls,
according to the American
Academy of Family Physicians.
But new phone apps may signal
a comeback for house calls. Pager
is currently only available in New
York City but it will expand to San
Francisco in coming weeks.
A rival company on the West
Coast, Heal, already operates in
San Francisco.
Gaspard de Dreuzy, one of
Pagers three co-founders, says
the services typical customers are
working mothers ages 30 to 45.

Its really an urban population


that is busy and values its time,
he adds.
So much so that they are willing
to pay a premium. Like other services, Pager is not currently covered by insurance. Customers pay
a $50 fee for their first visit and
$200 for subsequent visits from
one of the companys 40 health
practitioners, including doctors,
nurses and physician assistants.
That fee is about 10 times more
than the typical $15 to $25 doctor
co-pay for patients with insurance.
But there are situations where a
Pager visit might be cheaper than
conventional care. For instance,
$200 is significantly cheaper than

25 years on, disabilities act has changed lives of millions


By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Five days before he was to


start college, Fred Maahs world turned upside
down. Off the Delaware coast in 1980, on the
last day of summer vacation, the 18-year-old
took a dive from his familys boat into an
unseen sandbar barely a foot below the surface,
sustaining injuries that paralyzed him from the
chest down.
After months of medical care, he had to find a
new college to attend the one at which he
enrolled said its campus was not accessible to
wheelchairs. One of his first jobs was on the
second floor of a building with no elevator;
two friends carried him up and down the stairs.
For those first couple of years, I was really
dependent on family or friends, said Maahs.
Back then, people with disabilities were primarily kept at home.
Were that diving accident to happen now, the
campus and workplace would be accessible
with ramps, curb cuts, elevators, designated
parking spots. A blind or deaf person, or anyone with a host of other disabilities, also
would find accommodations enhancing their

independence and engagement all of this the


legacy of the sweeping Americans with
Disabilities Act, which was signed into law 25
years ago, on July 26, 1990.
Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally
come tumbling down, declared President
George H. W. Bush as he prepared to sign the
legislation. Some 2,000 people with disabilities elated after years of activism gathered on the South Lawn of the White House for
the ceremony.
The act is monumental in scope, intended to
protect people with disabilities from discrimination and enable them to participate fully in
the workforce and their communities. Its protections, which now cover an estimated 55 million Americans, extend to five key areas:
employment, state and local government facilities and services, public accommodations,
telecommunications, and transportation.
Even before the ADA was signed, Fred Maahs
was well on his way to a successful career as a
businessman and disability-rights activist. He
is now an executive of Comcast Corp. and
recently ended a term as chairman of the
American Association of People with
Disabilities.

By bringing attention to physical barriers,


the ADA has made a quantum difference, he
says. And yet the law like the 1964 Civil
Rights Act that helped inspire it remains a
work in progress, with some of its goals still
unfulfilled.
The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is outrageous, Maahs said. And a
law isnt going to change the attitudinal barriers. Probably at some point in their life, every
kid today with some form of disability will
encounter discrimination or stereotyping or
bullying.

The ADA did not come about easily it took


decades of work by people with disabilities and
their allies. Among the most passionate was
Justin Dart, Jr., the vice chair of the National
Council on Disability, who traveled nationwide in the 1980s to hold public hearings and
collect testimonials of disability-related discrimination.
In Congress, where the act was introduced in
1988, its champions included several lawmakers personally affected by disabilities, including Rep. Tony Coelho of California, who had
epilepsy.

the median cost of an emergency


room visit: $505, according to federal figures. The ER is often the
only medical option for people
without insurance.
Were trying to move forward
to a model where the Pager service
will be as affordable as any other
care option for people who are
insured or not, de Dreuzy says.
But Some doctors are skeptical.
Dr. Robert Wergin of Milford,
Nebraska says on-call services
could be useful for one-time medical needs. But treating chronic
conditions like diabetes, arthritis
or Alzheimers requires careful,
consistent attention over many
years.

Giants sweep as Hudson finally beats As


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Tim Hudson knows


almost nobody around the ever-changing
Oakland Athletics anymore. That didnt make
defeating his former team for the first time
any less sweet.
Hudson earned a win against the only team
he had never beaten in a 17-year big league
career, pitching the San Francisco Giants
past the struggling As 4-3 on Sunday for a
sweep in the Bay Bridge Series.
Matt Duffy hit a two-run homer in the first

and drove in three runs,


and Brandon Belt added an
RBI single in the initial
inning to back Hudson,
who became the 15th
pitcher to defeat all 30 current teams in the majors.
Its a pretty cool thing
to be able to say youve
Tim Hudson done, he said. I spent a
lot of fun years over there
... a lot of great memories, a lot of great success. The only familiar faces over there now
is the front office and the medical staff. It is

nice to finally have beaten them.


He also won his first game since turning 40
on July 14.
Buster Posey had a season-high four hits in
the Giants sixth straight home win, fifth in a
row overall and 12th in 14.
The reigning World Series champion
Giants recorded their seventh sweep of the
season and first against the As since May 2022, 2011, at AT&T Park. The clubs play again
at Oakland from Sept. 25-27.
Hudson (6-8) faced Oakland for the third
time after losing the first two. The right-hander was a sixth-round draft pick by Oakland in

1997 and pitched his initial six major league


seasons for the As from 1999-2004.
Hudsons wild pitch in the second allowed
the As to get one run back after Josh
Reddicks leadoff double. Brett Lawrie and
pinch-hitter Billy Butler had consecutive runscoring singles in the fourth.
Fourth reliever Santiago Casilla gave up a
leadoff walk and a single with none out before
finishing for his career-high 26th save.
We couldnt get that one last run again,
As manager Bob Melvin said.

Arms over each others shoulders, linked
together in a long line of happiness, Tour de
France winner Chris Froome and his teammates pedaled slowly over the finish line,
soaking up the applause Sunday on the
Champs-Elysees.
Three weeks of furious racing, of beating
back both a tenacious Colombian, Nairo

Lance Armstrongs poisonous legacy to
cycling, were over.
Time for the winners speech.
The Maillot Jaune is special, very special, Froome said, using the yellow jerseys French name.
I understand its history, good and bad,
he said. I will always respect it.
The Tour is still French. But British riders
have won three of the last four: Bradley
Wiggins in 2012 and now two for Froome,
following his first win in 2013. That puts

Britain equal with the United States, with


three from Greg LeMond and minus seven

Under suitably British weather, on rainslickened roads, Froome took it easy on the

Hamels gearing up for


next start after no-hitter
By Sarah Trotto
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Fresh off baseballs


third no-hitter of the season, Cole
Hamels is preparing to start for the
Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.
That could change in a hurry.
Hamels could be on the move after
he dominated the Chicago Cubs in a
5-0 victory on Saturday afternoon,
striking out 13 in the 13th no-hitter
in franchise history for the Phillies.
The 31-year-old left-hander has been
mentioned prominently in trade
talks ahead of Fridays non-waiver
deadline.
Hamels threw a season-high 129
pitches in his first win since May 23,
but said Sunday he was feeling good.
Everything felt more in sync
than it had, he said. I dont feel
like I threw as many pitches as I did.
Thats a good sign. It means I was
throwing correctly.
Hamels said he celebrated the nohitter with family and friends, and
received congratulations from Roy
Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and
Brett Myers.
That was nice because those guys
all helped impact me, Hamels said.
Hamels also was part of
Philadelphias previous no-hitter,
teaming with three relievers for
another gem last Sept. 1 at Atlanta.
It was the first no-hitter against
Chicago since Sandy Koufax
pitched a perfect game at Dodger

Stadium
in
1965.
The no-hitter
stopped all talk
about
what
might be wrong
with
Hamels
after he went 0-4
with a 5.56 ERA
Cole Hamels during a ninegame winless
streak, which matched a career high.
The 2008 World Series MVP allowed
14 runs and 20 hits over 6 1/3
innings in his previous two starts.
Hamels said after the game that he
had been working on his mechanics
the last couple of days. He even made
an adjustment during the no-hitter by
staying over the rubber longer,
pitching coach Bob McClure said.
The good ones are able to adapt,
McClure said. Its fun to watch.
First baseman Ryan Howard said
he had a feeling Hamels could complete the no-hitter when center fielder Odubel Herrera made the first of
his two diving catches in the
eighth. Herrera also made a falling
catch for the final out of the game.
Anytime you can be a part of history of the game, thats always going
to be special, Howard said. To see
him do it in the fashion he did and
having Odubel going out there and
making two crazy catches, especially
the one to end the game - you could
ask for a better finish, but that was
pretty much icing on the cake.

Hughes still enriching game he loves


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

NAPA Surrounded by the


baseball generations of his family, it is clear Mike Hughes is at
home on the diamond.
For years, Hughes made that
home in Pacifica, coaching scores
of Little League and Colt teams.
But as former manager of the
Pacifica Gamecocks, he is more
synonymous with the Joe
DiMaggio League.
In the late 1990s, Hughes took
over Pacifica Joe D. from longtime manager John Vallero, and
coached the team through the
2007 season after relocating to
Sacramento. During his tenure,
Hughes led Pacifica to its last two
Joe DiMaggio World Series championships in 2004 and 06.
Now back in the Joe D. World
Series as general manager of the
River City Outlaws, Hughes took on
his former Pacifica team Saturday at
Justin-Siena High School. Hughes
founded the Outlaws in 2009, previous to which Sacramento had no Joe
D. affiliates. Two of Hughes three
sons coach River City, including
his middle son Doug, who serves as
the teams skipper.
Despite staying busy as the junior-varsity coach at Sheldon High
School he later took over as the
varsity coach from 2011-13
Hughes jumped at the opportunity
to return to the Joe D. League in
2009 after a one-year layoff.

game, Powers said. You dont want to
put the pressure on a kid like that, but
hes just a bulldog out there. Ill roll
with him on the mound any day.
Also Pacificas regular center fielder,
Berghammer got some help when
Saturdays center fielder Jacob Martinez
opened the game with a nice running
catch to track down a long fly ball of
the bat of Johnny Savage on the warning track.
Honestly, I thought that was going
to be an easy, routine play,
Berghammer said. But the wind was

I missed it,
Hughes said. I
missed coming
to the tournament and the
good baseball. I
also missed the
good people.
Its fitting
Mike Hughes Hughes son
Doug
now
serves as River Citys manager, as
it was because of him Hughes first
got involved with Joe D. baseball
to begin with. He had already
coached Pacifica Little League
baseball with his oldest son David
taking up the sport.
Once he got involved in baseball,
thats all I ever did, Hughes said.
When his son Doug started playing the game, though, is when
Hughes met Pacificas longtime
baseball ambassador Carl Vallero.
According to Hughes, Carl Vallero
a former professional baseball
scout approached him about
Dougs noteworthy baseball talent. And the two struck up a fast
friendship.
Carl was the guy, Hughes said.
Everybody would always look up
to Carl ask ideas about their kid
from Carl and he would never
say no to anyone.
So, when Carl Valleros son John
Vallero stepped down as Pacifica
Joe DiMaggios coach after a prestigious career John took the
team to a World Series title in 1983
after Carl led Pacifica to its first in

carrying out; it was not my friend.


[Martinez] had my back today though.
River City went on to rally for a twospot in the first, but Pacifica got it right
back in the bottom of the inning.
Martinez produced a clutch two-out RBI
single and later scored on knock by
Falk to tie it. Pacifica added single runs
in the second, fourth, fifth and sixth.
I was happy we gave up two runs
and we got two runs back really
quick, Powers said. Thats just the
way we play.
Martinez was 3 for 4 with two RBIs.
Berghammer, Manny Thompson and
catcher Mills Notmeyer added two hits
apiece. Berghammer handled the rest
with a spirited performance on the
mound.
After they scored those two, he
started hitting his spots well,

1970 Hughes couldnt say no to


taking up the Valleros mantle.
Hughes proved the right man for
the job, as he became the only
Pacifica manager to win multiple
World Series titles. The run was led by
a pair of World Series tournament
MVP performances by former Serra
standout and Pacifica legend Jimmy
Parque, who was integral to the
Gamecocks championship-game
win in 2006, a 2-1, 11-inning thriller
over Bud Papadakis San Carlos team.
Current Pacifica manager Bryan
Powers also played for those
championship squads.
Even after relocating to
Sacramento, Hughes managed
Pacifica for one more season in
2007, but he decidedly stepped
down due to the long commute.
I was commuting back and
forth because I didnt want to give
them up, Hughes said. But it
finally just got to be too much.
Now, Hughes is focusing his
efforts on the next generation of
his baseball family. His 3-year-old
grandson Kane, who last year was
diagnosed with juvenile diabetes,
is at the forefront of his efforts.
During Saturdays game, Hughes
made an announcement to ask for
support of the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation by participating in 2015 One Walk fundraiser Oct. 4 in Sacramento.
For more information about the
JDRF One Walk fundraiser, v isit
www.norcal.jdrf.org/ev ents/walk .

Notmeyter said.
Composed as he was, Berghammer
showed plenty of emotion when he had
the chance, most notably slapping his
glove in frustration after issuing a twoout walk to load the bases in the fourth.
He bounced back to strike out the next
batter on four pitches to end the inning,
and went on to retire 10 of the last 11
batters he faced, six via strikeout.
I felt really confident, Berghammer
said. [River Citys players] were chirping at me for a few innings and it didnt
get to me. It just helped me pick it up.
The start may be Berghammers last
one ever, as he intends to refocus as an

Royals finally
acquire Cueto

Four get call from Baseball Hall of Fame

THE ASSOICIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City


Royals are hoping Johnny Cueto can help
them win one more playoff game than they
did a year ago.
The Royals acquired Cueto in a trade with
Cincinnati on Sunday, sending three
prospects to the Reds for a legitimate ace for
the front of their beleaguered rotation.
Kansas City has the best record in the
American League after it lost to San Francisco
in Game 7 of the World Series last October.
Cincinnati got minor league left-handers
Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody
Reed in the trade for Cueto, who was one of
the top starters on the market.
Cueto pitched eight scoreless innings in
Cincinnatis 5-2 victory at Colorado on
Saturday night. The right-hander was initally informed he was traded prior to Saturdays
game, but the deal hit a snag and was not
made until Sunday.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. Three pitchers


who became dominant after trades and a rocksolid catcher-turned-second baseman entered
the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.
Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John
Smoltz and Craig Biggio basked in the
moment, with at least 40,000 fans cheering
them one more time.
Many waved Dominican flags for one of
their own. Martinez joined former Giants
great Juan Marichal as the only Hall of
Famers from the Caribbean nation.
We waited 32 years another Dominican,
Martinez said. I hope all Dominicans
remember this.
Playing through an era tainted by steroids
and ruled by offense compliments of
bulked-up sluggers, a smaller strike zone and
smaller ballparks Johnson, Martinez and
Smoltz proved indomitable. They combined
for 735 wins, 11,113 strikeouts and nine Cy
Young Awards.
Biggio, who played four positions in his
20-year career, all with the Houston Astros,
was indefatigable, becoming an All-Star at
second base and behind the plate.
Martinez, 219-100 for his career, was the

Third base umpire and crew chief Joe West
checked the ball Hudson was throwing in the
third the first time the pitcher has ever had
that happen drawing boos from the sellout
crowd of 42,034. Hudson then hit his 19th
career double in the bottom half.
I guess I went to my mouth and didnt wipe
my hand before I went to the ball, Hudson
said of Wests explanation. If I was cheating
Id hope Id have a little better stuff than I was

The Giants recognized West on the main

Tommy Connolly.
Combined with his nine home runs, Duffy has

Michelle Obama opens Special Olympics


By John Rogers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Michelle Obama welcomed thousands of athletes with intellectual


disabilities to the Special Olympic World
Games on Saturday during a festive opening
ceremony filled with cheers, songs and
praise for their courage and determination.
My husband and I, we are so proud of you,
so incredibly proud of you, and we love you
all from the bottom of our hearts, the first
lady said. She said the athletes were an example to the millions of people watching the
event on television.
She was introduced by Special Olympian Tim
Harris, who owns a restaurant in New Mexico
that he said serves breakfast, lunch and hugs!
Mrs. Obama knows the power of a hug,
he said, and shared one with the first lady.
Earlier, President Barack Obama welcomed
the athletes by video.
About 6,500 athletes from 165 countries
streamed into the Los Angeles Memorial

Coliseum to cheers and roars. The athletes


will participate in 25 sports over nine days,
ranging from weightlifting to the triathlon.
L.A. also hosted the Special Olympics in
1972.
Applause greeted the athletes, from some
400 in the United States contingent to a
handful each from smaller countries.
It was the largest gathering of athletes in Los
Angeles since the 1984 Summer Olympics.
The groups wore distinctive colors but carried no national flags. However, Special
Olympics athletes and Olympic gold medalists including swimmer Michael Phelps,
diver Greg Louganis and skater Michelle
Kwan together carried in the Special
Olympics flag.
A flaming torch carried from Greece was
used to light the Coliseums Olympic beacon.
The three-hour ceremony, broadcast on
ESPN, included Special Olympians at every
level. Global ambassadors partnered with
celebrities onstage and TV commentators.
There were fireworks and musical performanc-

es by Avril Lavigne, Stevie Wonder, Colombian


reggaeton artist J Balvin and others.
You are the special people of the world,
Wonder told them. You are the ones that will
make a difference every single day. Your
courage, your desire to make the world better
by showing your love ... (and) in the way
that you carry yourself.
At the beginning of the show, late-night
television talk show host Jimmy Kimmel
thanked the competitors and the international crowd of spectators for coming and joked
about Californias long drought, saying he
hoped they brought water.
That Olympic flame theyre going to
light will truly burn forever because we dont
have the water to put it out, Kimmel said.
The games were the brainchild of President
John Kennedys sister Eunice Kennedy
Shriver, who held informal backyard competitions at her home before deciding to take
the competition international in 1968. She
said she believed everybody should have a
chance to feel special.

Kyle Busch has done

weeks just another big,
fat kiss at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
Buschs triumphant return
following a horrible crash
the day before the seasonopening Daytona 500 continued Sunday with one of
the biggest wins of his
career. He grabbed an elusive victory at Indy, where
Busch won the Brickyard
400 for a weekend sweep at
the historic track.
Busch missed the first 11
races of the season with a
broken right leg and broken
left foot. He returned in late
May and has won three consecutive Sprint Cup Series
races and four of the last five.
His latest win was celebrated with the traditional
kissing of the Yard of
Bricks, where he was accompanied by his wife and son,

who was

May.
Now he
has

Darlington Raceway as the
biggest of his career.
Busch, who also won the
second-tier Xfinity Series
race
Saturday
at
Indianapolis, moved 23
points away from cracking
the top 30 in the standings.
NASCAR granted him a
waiver that will make him
eligible for the Chase for the

The win for Joe Gibbs

Mexico triumphs for Gold Cup championship


By Rachel Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA Andres Guardado


scored his fourth goal of the knockout
rounds, not needing a penalty kick this
time, and Mexico won its seventh CONCACAF Gold Cup title Sunday with a 3-1 victory over upstart Jamaica.
Jesus Corona and Oribe Peralta added
goals as El Tri scored twice early in the second half to ensure this match wouldnt come
down to any calls in the final minutes. It
was a convincing performance for coach
Miguel Herrera and his team after some
shaky play and contentious moments in the
previous two games.
Jamaica had made a rousing run to the
final, stunning the U.S. in the semis to
become the first Caribbean nation to reach
the Gold Cups championship match. And
the Reggae Boyz looked as though they
belonged in the opening minutes, keeping
the pressure on Mexico with several promising scoring chances but never putting a
shot on goal.
Jamaica hadnt trailed since early in the
second half of its Gold Cup opener before a
yellow card helped lead to Mexicos first
goal. Darren Mattocks scored in the 80th
minute to pull the Reggae Boyz within 3-1.
El Tri will face the U.S., the 2013 Gold
Cup champ, on Oct. 9 for CONCACAFS
spot in the 2017 Confederations Cup in
Russia.
The only way Mexico had been able to
score in the knockout rounds before Sunday
had been on penalty kicks, all three by
Guardado. And two of those came on late,
questionable calls.

Dragons ousted by Seattle in


Western Conference playoffs
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The playoff run of Burlingame Dragons came


to an end last Friday, as the Seattle Sounders
prevailed 1-0 in the Western Conference semifinals at Arizonas Kino Stadium.
The Sounders back row proved a wall from
the opening kickoff, but ultimately, it was
Seattles front that turned in the pivotal defensive play to produce the games only goal.
Amid a scoreless tie in the second half,
Seattle missed on an outstanding chance
when striker Guillermo Delgado took a long
pass up the right side and threaded a pass
into the box to David Olsen. Only a gutsy
diving save by Dragons goalkeeper Josh
Cohen denied the Sounders.
But Seattle kept up the pressure with a quick
steal by Florian Valot deep in Dragons territory. Valot found Delgado in the box, and the
busy forward did not miss, angling a short
shot clean into the left side of the goal to give
the Sounders a 1-0 lead in the 61st minute.
With the win, the Sounders advanced to the
Western Conference finals Saturday, where
they defeated FC Tucson to advance to the USL
PDL final four next week to play for the
national championship.
Burlingame striker Fredy Razo played an

active game, and locked up with Seattle goalkeeper Paul Christiensen early in the first
half. After Seattle controlled the tempo early,
Razo got two good looks in the 15th minute.
Dragons defenseman Shawn Preddie took the
ball off a breakaway and got a through ball
into Razo, but his shot from 15 yards out
through tight defense went right into hands of
Christensen. A minute later, Razo produced a
turnover at close range but could not control it
for a missed opportunity.
Seattle shored up its efforts throughout the
remainder of the first half. And Delgado
almost made some magic in the 36th minute,
as the Sounders star led the charge on a breakaway and placed a chip shot over the reach of
Cohen, only to have the high lofting attempt
hit the crossbar.
Just before the half, Seattle missed another
chance on a 3-on-2 breakaway. After a steal by
Kissima Bojang, Olsen led the three-man
front with a crisp shot that Cohen denied with
a diving save.
In the 90th minute, Dragons midfielder Ugo
Uche nearly scored a dramatic goal, pentrating
into the box to receive a long pass just missed
the head of Preddie, who outleaped his defender. In the 90th minute, Uche almost scored on
a long pass from midfield, but his attempt
missed just over the crossbar.

Mexico had been the better team that day,


but that wasnt the case in the semifinals.
Down to 10 men, Panama was on the verge

Earthquakes beaten handily in


Vancouver, fall 3-1 to Whitecaps
VANCOUVER, British Columbia
Mauro Rosales and Kendall Waston scored
in the first half to help the Vancouver
Whitecaps beat the San Jose Earthquakes 31 on Sunday.
Octavio Rivero added another from the
penalty spot in the 56th minute.
Vancouver (11-8-3) moved into second
place in the Western Conference.
Quincy Amarikwa scored a late goal for

of victory when a disputed hand ball set up a


penalty for Guardado in second-half stoppage time, and he scored on another for the
winner in extra time.
Mexico had gone 272 minutes since one
of its players scored on anything other than
a penalty when Guardado put El Tri ahead for
good Sunday. Jonathan dos Santos found
Paul Aguilar out wide on a free kick, and
Aguilar crossed it to Guardado, whose leftfooted volley made it 1-0 in the 31st
minute. It was his sixth goal of the tournament, one behind Clint Dempsey of the
U.S.
Guardado, voted top player of the tournament, had also been the last Mexico player
to score on anything other than a penalty
with his goal in the 88th minute against
Trinidad and Tobago in the final group stage
match.
Any chance of a Jamaica comeback quickly evaporated after halftime. Just over a
minute in, Jesus Corona, who had failed to
convert two good chances in the first half,
stole the ball from Michael Hector and
pushed forward. The 22-year-old forward slid
his left-footed shot from the edge of the area
under the legs of Wes Morgan for a 2-0 lead
in the 47th minute. Corona was selected top
young player of the tournament.
Another mistake by Hector in the 61st
minute put Mexico up 3-0. He whiffed on an
attempted clearance, and the ball went right
to Peralta for an easy goal.
Shortly after, Guardado came off to a thunderous ovation from the pro-Mexico crowd
of 68,930 at Lincoln Financial Field, home
of the NFLs Philadelphia Eagles.
NOTES: Brad Guzan of the U. S. won
Golden Glove as top goalkeeper.

largely flat 110-kilometer (68mile) ramble from Sevres, in the
French capitals southwest.
To minimize risk of crashes,
Tour organizers stopped the clock
early, on the first of 10 laps up and
down the Champs-Elysees cobblestones.
That locked in Froomes lead to
guarantee victory. He smiled
broadly as he pedaled past flagwaving spectators. He still had to
ride the laps to complete the full

But knowing the title was his,
he didnt have to panic when a

his teammates, wearing yellow

stripes on their shorts and helmets, linked together for their


slow-motion, chorus-line finish.
This is your yellow jersey as
much as it is mine, Froome said.
Their powerful riding, chasing
rivals in the mountains and protecting Froome on flats, was vital.
So, too, was the meticulous planning of Dave Brailsford, the organizational brains at Froomes
Team Sky, which has far surpassed
its goal in 2009 of nurturing
Britains first Tour winner within
five years.
In a repeat of 2013, Quintana
was again runner-up. But the margin was much smaller this time: 1
minute, 12 seconds, the tightest
win since 2008.
Third-placed Alejandro Valverde,
Quintanas Movistar teammate
from Spain, made the podium for
the first time, moving up from
fourth last year.
For all the pre-Tour talk of a
possible four-way battle between
Froome, Quintana, 2014 champion Vincenzo Nibali and two-time
winner Alberto Contador, only the
25-year-old Colombian who
again won the Tours white jersey
as best young rider gave the
yellow jersey a run for his
450, 000 euros ($494, 000) in
prize money.

Hes a great rival, Quintana


said. He suffered a lot to win.
With more experience and more
smarts in the first week when he
lost too much time, Quintana
would have posed a bigger threat
and perhaps come closer to
becoming the first Colombian
winner.
This Tour was mountain-heavy,
suiting Quintanas climbing
strengths. Future Tours could have
more time trials, which Froome
excels at. Their developing rivalry, with youth on Quintanas side
against the 30-year-old Froome,
could help the sport win back fans
disgusted by the systematic deceit
of Armstrongs era.
I have lots of years ahead of
me, Quintana said.
Totaled up, Quintana took more
time off Froome on the Tours
high mountain climbs than the
other way around.
Yet the Colombian didnt have
to contend with the scrutiny,
doubt and thinly-veiled suggestions of doping that Froome was
forced to respond to on an almost
daily basis, mostly with patience
but also with bristle as the race
wore on.
Such was his strength, its no
longer a stretch to imagine
Froome soon joining the elite
group of seven riders who won
three Tours or more. The record of
five wins achieved by Jacques
Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard
Hinault and Miguel Indurain is
still far off.
Froome says he would like to
keep competing as long as my
body will allow me. His aim is at
least another six years.
I love the sacrifices, the training, the hard work. Thats what
gets me out of bed in the mornings. Im not trying to do it for a
specific amount of Tour titles or
fame, he said after sealing his
win in the Alps. I love riding my
bike. I love pushing my body to
the limit. I love the freedom that
cycling gives you.

Ant-Man inches past Pixels


By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

e have a shelter cat in our care,


8-year-old Sixer, who is quite a
load! Our guy is not only big,
but also polydactyl. He has six toes on
each front paw, hence the name. Sixer is
on a special diet; volunteers arent
allowed to give him treats. I havent seen
this, but apparently hes spent time walking on a treadmill. We didnt hang a fake
mouse on a string in front of him; he was
a willing participant! I really need video.
This could be social media gold and help
the Round Mound of Pounce get adopted. Whoever adopts him will need to
monitor his weight and encourage exercise. If you have a cat who has packed on
a few pounds, get him back to his healthiest weight by setting up activities that
appeal to his love for hunting. Take a
Ping-Pong ball and put it and your cat in
an empty bath tub; hell love batting the
ball around and trying to catch it on the
slippery surface. You can also try a cat
dancer. These wands, which mimic the
action of a y shing pole, have been
around for a long time. Cats love the
unpredictable, icks of the dancer and
will enjoy pouncing on the furry or feathery tip. And, who doesnt love playing
with a laser pointer? Make sure that this
isnt the only game you play with your
cat; he will get frustrated if he can never
catch the object of his game of chase. For
starters, play twice daily for 10-15 minutes each time. There are additional benets to play, besides weight loss or maintenance. Play maintains muscle tone and
improves circulation, can displace tension between companion cats, motivates
sedentary cats, eliminates boredom and
discourages depression, helps control
aggression, and stimulates a healthier
appetite for nicky eaters. Interactive
play also strengthens the bond between
you and your kitty.

LOS ANGELES Ant-Man crept past


new opener Pixels to claim the top spot at
the box office this weekend by an ant-sized
margin. The Disney and Marvel superhero
pic brought in $24.8 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic total to $106.1
million according to Rentrak estimates
Sunday.
Pixels, meanwhile, just barely missed
first place with a $24 million debut. While
studios always hope for the bragging rights
of a No. 1 debut, the real issue here is
whether or not the Adam Sandler end of the
world comedy will make up its $88 million
production budget.
Its been a little competitive in the marketplace when you consider the extent of
the performance of Jurassic and Inside
Out, said Sonys President of Worldwide
Distribution Rory Bruer. To get to where
we opened to was quite good.
Critics were not fond of Pixels, which
shows 1980s video arcade game characters
attacking Earth, but younger audiences still
turned out to theaters an estimated 62 percent were under the age of 25.
Paul Dergarabedian, Rentraks senior
media analyst, said Sandler can still attract
an audience, but the expensive film has a lot
of ground to make up.
Theyre really going to have to count on
the international component. Thats going
to be key, he said.
Overall, the box office is down 3 percent
from the same weekend last year, when

Top 10 movies
1.Ant-Man, $24.8 million
($35.4 million international).
2.Pixels, $24 million
($21.4 million international).
3.Minions, $22.1 million
($44 million international).
4.Trainwreck, $17.3 million
($220,000 international).
5.Southpaw, $16.5 million
($3.5 million international).
6.Paper Towns, $12.5 million
($8 million international).
7.Inside Out, $7.4 million
($28.3 million international).
8.Jurassic World, $6.9 million
(47.6 million international).
9.Mr. Holmes, $2.8 million.
10.Terminator Genisys, $2.4 million
($10.7 million international).

Paul Rudd stars in Ant-Man, the nations top movie for the second straight week.
Lucy opened particularly strong.
Dergarabedian said that though some are
attempting to link last weeks theater
shootings to any dip in the box office this
weekend, the numbers just dont bear it
out.
Holdovers Minions and Trainwreck
took the third and fourth spots with $22.1
million and $17.3 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, the R-rated boxing drama
Southpaw surpassed expectations and
landed a place in the top five with its $16.5
million opening.
Dergarabedian said that its performance is
likely due to star Jake Gyllenhaals enthusiastic promotion of the film and also the fact
that it provides an alternative to the standard summer blockbuster fare.
Southpaw felt like a really good fall
movie, he said.
Paper Towns, an adaptation of John Greens coming-of-age novel, opened in
sixth place with $12.5 million. The Fox film only
cost $12 million to produce,
but
considering
Greens fan base and last
years massive $48 million
debut of The Fault in Our
Stars, which Green also
wrote, its a bit disappointing.
A straight comparison
isnt entirely fair, though.
The Fault in Our Stars had
a much bigger following
and transcended age and
gender groups with its story
of two teens dying of cancer
and falling in love. Paper

Towns is a more narrow and lighthearted


high school tale.
According to exit polls, 71 percent of the
Paper Towns audience was female and 78
percent were under age 25.
Also, Shailene Woodley was a much bigger name when The Fault in Our Stars came
out, whereas Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff
are somewhat lesser known.
Woodleys Divergent association took
the modest film to another level,
Dergarabedian said.
I think we have a job ahead of us in the
coming weeks to find more of our potential
audience who we werent able to reach this
weekend. But I think we can do that, said
Chris Aronson, Foxs domestic distribution
president.

Wildfire watching: Rangers in towers are out, cameras are in


By Scott Sonner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. For decades, forest rangers in wooden towers


across the West scanned the horizon with binoculars for smoke
that could signal the start of a
wildfire.
Now, scientists in Nevada and
California are helping federal land
managers develop technology to
expand a network of high-definition cameras to do the job, including one in northern Nevada that
recently captured a blaze in realtime more than 100 miles away in
Oregon.
The latest project led by the
Nevada Seismology Laboratory
began two years ago at Lake Tahoe
in conjunction with the Forest
Service and other local agencies.
In recent weeks, the Bureau of
Land Management has mounted

CRISIS
Continued from page 1
rents theyve gone up 50 percent in four years she has been
unable to find somewhere else to
live.
Another tenant, Jose Navarrete,
said his family already spends
two-thirds of its income on rent.
It is unfair to me that families
have to pay 100 percent of their
incomes for rent. The housing crisis is dashing our American
Dream, he said at the council
meeting.
Tenant Lilian Garcia is a stay-athome mom with three children
whose husband earns about
$2,800 a month at a local restaurant.
A two-bedroom is renting for
$3,000. We dont make enough to
cover the rent. My husband and I
are desperate right now. My son is
sad. He asks where will we go and
why do we have to leave, Garcia
said.
She also has a daughter who is
gradually going deaf and just had a
cochlear implant at Lucile Packard
Children's Hospital Stanford
Thursday.
Garcia spent years trying to

four cameras on remote mountain


peaks stretching from central to
northeast Nevada about 100 miles
from the Utah line.
With the system we have developed here in Nevada and eastern
California, I think we are on the
cusp of a new era in the way we
fight fires, said Graham Kent,
director of the lab at the
University of Nevada, Reno which
tied the communication network
into the system it uses to monitor
seismic activity and climactic
conditions.
The goal is to detect fires faster,
especially in unpopulated areas
where they can burn several hours
or even days before anyone
reports them. The cameras with
pan-tilt-zoom capability provide
a 360-panoramic view with
infrared night vision and specialized software to track smoke.
Basically we are developing

21st century fire tower watchers,


Kent said. Because we have this
on-demand time lapse, you can
look at the last 15 minutes or hour
or six hours and it makes it easy to
see the fire go poof. We can get
on top of these things a lot more
quickly.
Paul Petersen, BLMs acting
state fire management officer for
Nevada, said the cameras provide
incident commanders better intelligence when allocating air
tankers and other precious
resources,
especially
when
stretched thin during peak fire season.
We had a fire last week just
south of Battle Mountain and we
were able to move fast and send a
heavier aircraft response than we
would have, Petersen said. At
that time, there was only one fire,
so that was easy. But there are
times weve got fires all over.

The camera that picked up that


fire from the top of the 6,500foot Midas Peak 40 miles north of
Battle Mountain, Nevada is the
same one that gave BLM officials
a look at the smoke billowing 104
miles north in Oregons Jordan
Valley along the Idaho line.
Last month, a camera at Lake
Tahoe picked up the first wisps of
smoke an hour before anyone
reported a fire that eventually
burned about 25 square miles of
forest
near
Markleeville,
California.
Kent believes some of the 254
homes destroyed in south Tahoes
2007 Angora fire may have been
spared if cameras were in place.
You still have to go put the fire
out, but the fact that it smoldered
all morning and into the afternoon, it would have been very
easy to see, he said.
Kent said theyre working with

researchers at the University of


California, San Diego, which
began utilizing cameras for firefighting intelligence in 2002.
The new push is to speed detection
by not only providing the video
feeds to dispatchers but to the public via the Internet.
The more eyes the better, said
Ken Smith, the UNR labs associate director.
California and some other parts
of the West still use manned towers, but many have found them to
be too costly in remote areas, and
Nevada only has one remaining
near Caliente, Petersen said.
The Tahoe network includes ski
resort cameras used to provide
real-time looks at mountain conditions. Fire agencies in other
states also utilize private cameras
near urban areas, Kent said, but the
expansion into such remote areas
is unprecedented.

She worries now that her daughter may not get the follow-up care
needed if she is forced to leave the
area.
Her biggest worry is her daughter but the eviction notice has
made her life more chaotic.
Its too much, she said.
She has signed up for housing
assistance but said its a nearly
three-year wait and that there are
currently no affordable apartments
to rent in the area.

Palo Alto, spoke on behalf of the


evicted tenants to the City
Council last week.
He told the council that a pattern
has evolved in which buildings are
sold and new owners evict for renovations and then boost the rents.
He mentioned the 73-unit Park
Royal apartment complex in San
Mateo that is being renovated
now. Every tenant had their leases
terminated and only a handful
signed new leases after the rents
went up, in some cases, nearly
$1,000 a month.
Too often I have to say they are
allowed to do this, Saver said
about landlords. Its unjust but
not illegal.
Saver represents many families
who have been evicted and tries to
get owners to help their tenants
move by giving them more time
or offering relocation assistance.
Its not just a few bad apples
engaging in this sort of conduct,
Saver said about landlords who
have raised rents drastically. You
have an entire barrel full of bad
apples. Im not saying every landlord is a bad landlord and we dont
want to put landlords out of business but speculating on the lives
of families represents repugnant
business values.
He called on the City Council to
act with a sense of urgency related

to the housing crisis.


Councilman David Lim was

He has even offered to speak to a

She has had no luck finding a

Gutierrez hopes the areas
elected officials start speaking
out on behalf of residents who
are increasingly being displaced
as housing costs continue to
climb.
Gutierrez spoke through interpreter Aracely Mondragon, who
works for SFOP/PIA.
Mondragon has been front and
center in the nonprofits recent
push to protect low-income and
immigrant tenants from being
evicted for no cause.
She is hoping the crisis puts
pressure on the areas elected leaders to adopt some protections for
renters.
The stories of woe she hears on
a daily basis dont depress her,
however.
They make me mad, she said.
She uses that anger to advocate
on behalf of the working poor
who are increasingly being priced
out of the area as keep rents going
up.
This is about justice, she said.

Rents up, wages not


They say your income should
be three times the rent but we
dont have that, she said. The
rents shot up but our wages didnt.
Its a bad feeling not to be able to
live here.
She and the rest of the tenants at
El Parque want just one thing, to
be able to stay in their apartments.
It doesnt make sense to have
housing for only people who
make a certain income. We are on
minimum wage, it doesnt seem
fair, she said.
The familys current rent is
$1, 727. 50 and theyve always
paid it on time, she said.

Herb Perez said. People in most cities,

obstacle, people dont necessarily do

While officials from both cities say
they already have helpful policies in
place, these ordinances will conform
with state legislation. Cities are required
to adopt ordinances that create an expedited and streamlined process for small
residential rooftop solar systems by
Sept. 30, according to a San Mateo staff
report.
The San Mateo City Council introduced its ordinance Monday, July 20 and
Foster City will consider its own Aug.

ing trustees based on the region in
South San Francisco where they live.
Such a change would save the district
from potentially being sued by residents asserting they are unable to elect
trustees who represent their communities, said Soldani, during a board meeting Thursday, July 23.
Currently, trustees are elected on an atlarge basis, which awards seats on the
board to those who receive the most
votes in a districtwide election.
The district should consider switching
to a by-district election, said Soldani,
which requires candidates to reside in
specific neighborhood boundaries, and
be elected to their seat by residents of
that region.
It is becoming increasingly common
for civil rights groups across the state
to rally the support of residents who do
not feel their best interests are represented on school boards and sue districts, frequently resulting in large settlements for the plaintiffs, said Soldani.
And though no other school districts
in San Mateo County elect trustees via
by-district elections, Soldani said it is
only a matter of time before a local
agency is challenged.

The suspect was transported to San

police said.
The shooting took

place on a segment of highway that


falls within a narrow strip of unincorporated San Mateo County, between
the City of San Bruno and SFO.
Police said the incident is being
investigated by the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office and the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Office.

for the Peninsula Sunshares Program, a


multi-city effort leveraging economies
of scale to provide residents with the
best price for solar systems. Residents
looking to install solar can typically
expect about a three-day turnaround of
their applications, said Community
Development Director Curtis Banks.
Basically this ordinance is to put us
in compliance with recent legislation,
Banks said. We generally streamline
those [permits] anyway and for several
years, we havent charged any fees for
these types of systems in order to
encourage them.
San Mateo staff has also suggested the
City Council consider evaluating its
permit fees and possible reducing them
as an incentive a suggestion made in
its Climate Action Plan, according to
the report.
San Mateo Councilman Rick Bonilla,
whos long been a proponent of more
people and developments going solar,
said easing the process will help the
city achieve its targets to be greener.
I see it as a great improvement for
the people of the city because many
people are putting solar on their
rooftops and this is going to cut the red

tape, make the process simpler and give


them better access to a product that they
want, Bonilla said. Itll also help with
our Climate Action Plan. We really do
have big goals to reduce our greenhouse
gas emissions citywide. Its a win win.
San Mateo approved its Climate
Action Plan earlier this year and Foster
City is in the midst of finalizing its own
both are in response to state mandates for cities to reduce their 2005
greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent
by 2020.
Foster City Vice Mayor Gary Pollard
said he plans to propose at the councils
next goal-setting session in January
that officials consider other means to
incentivize conservation efforts,
whether it be going solar or saving
water.
A program that looks at conservation on a more global perspective. So if
we can make anything easier, whether it
be to ease permits or reduce fees, something to entice them, I think it would be
a good thing, Pollard said. If its
something to help the environment,
then we should be able to make that
accessible and easy for residents.

It is not a question of if, but a question of when, he said.


The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors transitioned to by-district
elections in 2012, following a lawsuit
which disputed its previous at-large system.
The countys community college district had looked into potentially switching from an at-large system, but did not
pursue it.
Groups challenging the election system of a school district typically rely on
the California Voting Rights Act, which
states at-large systems may not impair
the ability of minorities to elect candidates of their choice.
School districts across the state have
doled out millions of dollars in settlements or legal fees to parties questioning the fairness of their election system, said Soldani.
These are expensive cases, he said.
Typically, residents who intend to sue
will examine the past compositions of
the board and compare those elected
against the communities they serve, to
ensure there is an accurate reflection of a
districts racial diversity among
trustees, said Soldani.
The biggest hurdle in the transition is
subdividing the city into regions which
will define from where the districts candidates hail, said Soldani, which can
cost roughly $20,000 and take about
four months to complete.

To change the district election system, the board could approve the transition, and then apply for a waiver to
instate it without voter consent, said
Soldani.
He said the expense of proactively
electing to shift election style is much
cheaper than facing long, expensive
legal battles defending the current system in the courtroom.
Trustees presented limited questions
to Soldani, but gave no direction to district staff to move forward with an effort
to further examine switching election
systems.
Soldani though encouraged trustees to
take seriously the nature of the threat of
litigation.
The issue here is that you dont want
to get sued, he said.
In other business, the board unanimously approved hiring Shawnterra
Moore as superintendent.
Moore, who served previously as an
assistant superintendent, replaced
Alejandro Hogan, who resigned in
March.
Under her promotion, Moore will
accept an annual salary of $185,000,
along with 25 days of vacation, a
$4,800 expense budget for district business and a $300 monthly reimbursement for transportation costs, among
other perks.
Moore thanked the board, and said she
was humbled for the opportunity.

solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy


Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.
