Millbrae proposes huge sewer rate increases


Hike will pay for fixes required after San Francisco Baykeepers sued the city in 2009
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Millbrae residents are set to face


sewer bill hikes worth nearly $50
per month in the coming years,
which officials claim are necessary to pay for nearly $30 million
in required capital improvements.
The Millbrae City Council will

meet Tuesday, July 28, to discuss


imposing rate increases which
will push the average residents
bill from approximately $71 to
$86 per month beginning Aug. 1,
and will continue to rise until
reaching a maximum of $123 by
July 1, 2019, according to a city
report.
The rate hikes are needed to sub-

sidize more than $30 million in


infrastructure repairs and capital
improvements required under a settlement with the San Francisco
Baykeepers, which sued the city in
2009 alleging violations of the
Clean Water Act.
As part of the rate hike, residents will also face a surcharge to
generate revenue for the settle-

ment agreement, which begins at


$10.50 next year, and then jumps
to $23.90, where it is proposed to
stay through 2020, according to
the report.
A 6 percent increase for quantity of use will also be imposed
annually on residents, as rates
are ex p ect ed t o j ump fro m
$4.91 to $6.62 in 2020,

according to the report.


Under the settlement, reached in
2010, the city must improve its
wastewater collection and discharge systems to prevent sewer
overflows, which is intended to
reduce the amount of undesirable
material flowing to the Bay.

Officials: Use a car wash instead of doing it yourself during drought
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

To pay for hundreds of millions


of dollars worth of improvements
to Redwood City schools, district
officials are expected to approve
asking residents to pass a bond
measure in the coming fall election.
The Redwood City Elementary
School District Board of Trustees
is slated to consider Wednesday,
July 29, putting a bond measure
which would tax residents $30
per every $100,000 of assessed
home value on the Nov. 3 ballot,
to generate $193 million for cap-

ital improvements.
Board President Dennis McBride
said he would stunned if the board
elected to not move forward with
floating the tax measure to voters,
as the district faces substantial
demand for campus and classroom
improvements and the bond considered for the coming election
would only cover a portion of necessary construction costs.
Under a facilities master plan
approved by the board in May,
there are almost $400 million
worth of fixes necessary to update
district campuses, so another
future bond measure would likely

SolarCity shines light on small businesses


Local company seeks to make panels more affordable, accessible
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo-based SolarCity is rolling out


a new program aimed at making solar panel
installation more accessible and affordable
for small- and medium-sized businesses
looking to cut costs while going green.
The program is aimed at an untapped market and will launch in California before
going nationwide where the majority of
businesses are considered small to medium
sized, said Jonathan Bass, vice president of
communications for SolarCity.
Ninety-nine percent of the businesses in
the U.S. are small- to medium- size businesses, theres over 28 million of them. So
its really limited what we can do in the
solar industry by not having an offering for
that segment, Bass said. If you fly into
SFO [airport], you see a lot of empty
rooftops of warehouses and hotels and other
businesses in the area. They really wouldnt
have been able to go solar under a different
program.
With no upfront costs, some businesses
that own their properties may be able to pay
between 5 percent and 25 percent less than
they do for standard utility power. Plus, by
fixing payments for 20 years, customers
could save even more in the future if utility
rates rise, Bass said.
While solar has become increasingly
popular amongst homeowners, schools,
governments and big-box stores, many
smaller businesses have been left out of the
growing trend, Bass said.
The vast majority of commercial buildings in the U.S. are housing small- and
medium-size businesses so its a really, really big market opportunity for solar, Bass
said.
SolarCity already has an extensive client
list such as setting up systems for the U.S.
military, Google, Goldman Sachs, Honda,
Bank of America, Walmart, Safeway as well
as the cities of San Jose and Sacramento.
With an extensive residential base as well,
nearly one out of every three solar systems
in the country can be traced back to
SolarCity, Bass said.

Mother pleads for

where she lives with her

She was last seen riding her new, white scooter in the Tannery

5 p.m. her mother realized she was gone.
Madysons parents met with investigators
Sunday night and again Monday at police
headquarters before speaking with reporters
outside; her mother Laura Jordan they said
they were very worried and wanted Madyson
home.

Judge tosses lawsuit seeking


fatal drugs for terminally ill
SAN DIEGO A judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit against the state on behalf
of three terminally ill Californians seeking
doctor-prescribed fatal medication.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Gregory
Pollack said his court is not unsympathetic
to their plight but lawmakers not a judge
would need to change the law barring such
prescriptions.
Pollack said in his written ruling that the
current law that makes it a felony to assist a
suicide in any way is constitutional and so
he does not have the power to suspend its
enforcement.

The rooftop solar market is very significant. Were not using it for anything else so
its open real estate that you can use to produce electricity from the sun. And that production of electricity requires no water,
which is huge in California, Bass said. It
creates no greenhouse gas emissions, it creates no air pollution and it doesnt pollute
the water. And, its one of the biggest generators of job growth.
Headquartered in San Mateo, SolarCity
has expanded exponentially since the startup began out of a spare bedroom in 2006. In
less than two years, the company has grown
from about 4,000 employees to more than
12,000 across 18 states. Due to its marketplace presence, the local company is able to
offer services in all aspects of solar panels
including installation, financing and maintenance of its proprietary technology,
according to SolarCity.
As the upfront cost of solar panels can be
prohibitive, especially to small business
owners, SolarCity has established a special
financing program. It has partnered with the
Oakland-based Renewal Financing and will
utilize its own low-cost SolarCity structured
financing as well as Property Assessed
Clean Energy a program that allows
property owners to make payments for energy efficiency retrofits through their property tax bill.
Basically, SolarCity provides, owns and
maintains the solar system while small
business owners pay for their energy consumption through their property tax bill,
Bass said.
Solar often makes a property more desirable and the contract is transferable if an
owner decides to sell their building, Bass
said.
As a full-service company, SolarCity will
initially design the systems that range in
capacity between 30 kilowatts and 500
kilowatts for businesses that own buildings

Around the state


The unfortunate scenario alleged in the
complaint cries out for a legislative fix, not
a judicial nix, of Penal Code 401, Pollack
wrote.
A bill seeking such a right for doctors
stalled earlier this month in the Legislature.
One plaintiff, Christy ODonnell, a Santa
Clarita mom who was given only months to
live, said the lawsuit likely was her last
chance at avoiding a slow, painful death.
ODonnell said she is morphine intolerant.
After a hearing Friday, when the judge
strongly indicated he planned to dismiss the
case, ODonnell said the likely outcome
saddens me the most because I know there is
going to be people watching their wives,
their husbands, their children or their moms
suffer in palliative sedation.

Federal appeals court


upholds Californias shark fin ban
SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals
court Monday upheld a California law banning the sale, distribution and possession of
shark fins.
The legislation does not conflict with a
19th century law that gives federal officials
authority to manage shark fishing off the
California coast, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals said. It also does not significantly interfere with interstate commerce, the
court found.
The 2-1 ruling upheld a lower court decision tossing the lawsuit brought by the
Chinatown Neighborhood Association and
Asian Americans for Political Advancement,
a political action committee.
The groups argued the ban passed in
2011 unfairly targeted the Chinese community, which considers shark fin soup a
delicacy. Shark finning is the practice of
removing the fins from a living shark, leaving the animal to die.

with rooftop space of approximately 5,000


square feet to 50,000 square feet, Bass said.
By using a mounting system called ZS
Peak, SolarCity workers can install nearly
20 percent to 50 percent more panels on
each roof and do it significantly quicker.
Because it has installation crews across the
country, its able to use its own employees
instead of having to contract with other
providers. While many commercial solar
developers subcontract, SolarCity expects
to save small-business projects nearly 30
percent on installation costs, Bass said.
Ultimately, solar becomes viable and
attractive to consumers when it can be
offered cheaper than standard utility services. Plus unlike coal, natural gas and nuclear
power that require a large amount of water or
end up polluting the environment, solar is
better for more than just business, Bass
said.
Youre creating jobs, youre preserving
water, youre not polluting the air and
youre addressing climate change. So tapping into a market that is the vast majority
of commercial buildings in the U.S., its
just huge, Bass said. Its a combination of
things on the technology and the operations and the financing side. But the key is,
if you can give customers the chance
whether theyre businesses or homeowners
if you can give them a chance to pay less
for solar than utility power, then they
respond well to that.

Worldwide strengthening
El Nino giveth and taketh away
WASHINGTON In California, theyre counting on it to
end an historic drought; in Peru, theyve already declared a
pre-emptive emergency to prepare for devastating flooding.
Its both an economic stimulus and a recession-maker. And
its likely to increase the price of coffee, chocolate and sugar.
Its El Nino most likely, the largest in well over a decade,
forecasters say. A lot more than mere weather, it affects lives
and pocketbooks in different ways in different places.
Every few years, the winds shift and the water in the Pacific
Ocean gets warmer than usual. That water sloshes back and
forth around the equator in the Pacific, interacts with the
winds above and then changes weather worldwide. This is El
Nino. Droughts are triggered in places like Australia and
India, but elsewhere, droughts are quenched and floods replace
them. The Pacific gets more hurricanes; the Atlantic fewer.
Winter gets milder and wetter in much of the United States.
The world warms, goosing Earths already rising thermometer
from man-made climate change.
Peruvian sailors named the formation El Nino the
(Christ) Child because it was most noticeable around
Christmas. An El Nino means the Pacific Ocean off Perus
coast is warm, especially a huge patch 330 feet (100 meters)
below the surface, and as it gets warmer and close to the surface, the weather is just going to be a river falling from the
sky, said biophysicist Michael Ferrari, director of climate
services for agriculture at the Colorado firm aWhere Inc.

State seeing more wildfires,


but sustaining less damage
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO The number of


California wildfires so far this year is
up, but the acreage burned is smaller,
the result of favorable weather and
more firefighters who can quickly be
dispatched to corral flames, fire officials say.
Since Jan. 1, about 5,200 fires have
burned on state and federal lands,
according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Thats 10 percent more than last year,


but the 74, 000 acres is 6 percent

Spurts of unseasonably rainy weather combined with the availability of
hundreds of additional firefighters paid
for with emergency drought funding
have made a big difference, California
Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant
said.
Weve had more firefighters early,
he said. Thats allowed us to be more
aggressive.

Cal Fire oversees state land and private property between forests and
cities, while the Forest Service is
responsible for 21 million acres in 18
national forests.
So far this year, state firefighters
have responded to nearly 3,900 blazes
a 41 percent increase from the same
period last year, according to Cal Fire.
The fires have burned 28 percent less
area than last year.
Cal Fires map of fire activities

Boy Scouts of America end total ban on gay adults


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Boy Scouts of


America on Monday ended its blanket
ban on gay adult leaders while allowing
church-sponsored Scout units to maintain the exclusion for religious reasons.
The new policy, aimed at easing a
controversy that has embroiled the Boy

Scouts for years, takes effect immediately. It was approved by the BSAs
National Executive Board on a 45-12
vote during a closed-to-the-media teleconference. For far too long this issue
has divided and distracted us, said the
BSAs president, former Defense
Secretary Robert Gates. Now its time
to unite behind our shared belief in the

extraordinary power of Scouting to be a


force for good.
Initial reactions to the decision from
groups on both sides suggested the issue
would remain divisive.
The Mormon church, which sponsors
more Scout units that any other organization, said it was deeply troubled by
the decision.

NSA will stop looking at


old U.S. phone records
By Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said publicly and privately that a long-term
highway bill will be all but impossible to achieve. He wants to move legislation now to dispense
with the highway issue at least through next years elections, give certainty to states and avoid
repeated fights over the issue.

House and Senate clash over


highway bill ahead of deadline
By Erica Werner and Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON House Republicans


rebuffed their Senate counterparts Monday
over must-pass highway legislation, setting the two chambers on a collision course
days ahead of a crucial deadline in the midst
of the summer driving season.
As House members convened for their
final days of work before an annual August
recess, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
ruled out taking up the Senates highway
bill, which is headed for completion in the
next several days.
Were not taking up the Senate bill, the
California Republican told reporters at the
Capitol, adding that the Senate should
instead take up the bill already passed by
the House. My best advice to the Senate is
to get our highway bill moved forward, he
said.
The House bill is a five-month extension
of current programs while the Senates version authorizes $350 billion in transportation programs for six years, though only
three of those are paid for.
Authority for federal highway aid payments to states will expire Friday at midnight without action. At the same time, if
Congress doesnt act before then the bal-

ance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is


forecast to drop below a minimum cushion
of $4 billion thats necessary to keep aid
flowing smoothly to states.
House Republican leaders say their
approach would buy them time to try to
come up with a tax reform deal coveted by
the White House and some leaders in both
parties, and use that to pay for an even
longer-term highway bill. But Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said
publicly and privately that such a deal will
be all but impossible to achieve. He wants
to move legislation now to dispense with
the highway issue at least through next
years elections, give certainty to states
and avoid repeated fights over the issue.
Time is running out to get this bill
through Congress. Were up against a deadline at the end of week, McConnell, RKy., said on the Senate floor. Jobs are on
the line. Important infrastructure projects
are too. So we have to get the job done.
Despite the dispute between the two
chambers theres little expectation
Congress would let the Friday deadline
come and go without action, given pleas
from state and local transportation agencies, the construction industry and others.
But how the issue will get resolved before
then is unclear.

WASHINGTON The Obama administration has decided that the National Security
Agency will soon stop examining and
will ultimately destroy millions of
American calling records it collected under a
controversial program leaked by former
agency contractor Edward Snowden.
When Congress passed a law in June ending the NSAs bulk collection of American
calling records after a six-month transition,
officials said they werent sure whether they
would continue to make use of the records
that had already been collected, which generally go back five years. Typically, intelligence agencies are extremely reluctant to
part with data they consider lawfully
obtained. The program began shortly after
the September 2001 terrorist attacks, but
most of the records are purged every five
years.
The NSAs collection of American phone
metadata has been deeply controversial ever
since Snowden disclosed it to journalists in

Judge says she did not


involuntarily commit theater gunman
CARROLLTON, Ga. The gunman
responsible for last weeks deadly attack in a
Louisiana movie theater was delivered by
deputies to hospital for a mental evaluation
in 2008 after his family said he was a danger
to himself and others.
But the judge who ordered John Russell
Houser detained said Monday that she did not
have him involuntarily committed, which
may explain why he was able to legally purchase the gun he used to kill two people and
wound nine others before killing himself.
Funerals were held Monday in Louisiana

2013. President Barack Obama sought, and


Congress passed, a law ending the collection and instead allowing the NSA to request
the records from phone companies as needed
in terrorism investigations.
That still left the question of what to do
about the records already in the database. On
Monday, the Director of National
Intelligence said in a statement those
records would no longer be examined in terrorism investigations after Nov. 29, and
would be destroyed as soon as possible.
The records cant be purged at the moment
because the NSA is being sued over them,
the statement said.
The NSA queried the database around 300
times a year against phone numbers suspected of being linked to terrorism. But the
program was not considered instrumental in
detecting terror plots.
It later emerged that some officials inside
the NSA wanted to unilaterally stop collecting the records, both because they were concerned about the civil liberties information
and because they didnt believe the program
was effective. Many mobile phone records,
for example, were not collected.

Yemen airstrikes resume;
15 allied fighters killed
SANAA, Yemen The Saudi-led coalition
launched new airstrikes in at least two
Yemeni provinces on Monday, piercing a
humanitarian pause that started at midnight
the previous day, security officials said.
The U.S.-backed coalition of mainly Gulf
Arab countries has been waging an air campaign since March against the Iran-supported Shiite rebels, who control most of northern Yemen and the capital, Sanaa.
Two of Mondays airstrikes killed 15
fighters allied with the coalition in the
province of Lahj, security officials and field
commanders said. More than 40 fighters
were wounded in the apparently accidental
strikes, they said, adding that the death toll
was expected to rise.
The strikes happened near the strategic
military base of al-Anad, which is held by
the rebels known as Houthis, and which was
also hit by coalition planes Monday. The
coalition also struck north of the port city
of Aden.

Somalia hotel truck


bomb toll rises to 15
MOGADISHU, Somalia The massive

a Kenyan diplomat, and wrecked Somalias
premier hotel has stunned the capital and
raised fears Monday that the Islamic extremist al-Shabab rebels are escalating their violence.
Senior police official Capt. Mohammed
Hussein said the toll has risen to 15. This
is a very worrying situation, he said as he
stood outside the Hotel Jazeera near a dead
body. This happened despite all the security precautions in place.
In a visit to neighboring Ethiopia, U.S.
President Barack Obama said Monday the
bombing is a reminder we have more work
to do in stemming terrorism in the region
and that groups like al-Shabab offer nothing but destruction.

Obama calls GOP criticism


of Iran deal ridiculous, sad
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia President


Barack Obama unleashed a blistering and
belittling rebuke of Republican White
House hopefuls Monday, calling their
attack on his landmark nuclear deal with
Iran ridiculous if it werent so sad.
Standing before television cameras during a trip to Africa, Obama suggested the
bellicose rhetoric from some GOP candidates was an attempt to divert attention
from Donald Trump, the wealthy businessman-turned presidential contender whose
popularity is confounding the Republican
field.
Maybe it gets attention and maybe this
is just an effort to push Mr. Trump out of the
headlines, but its not the kind of leadership
that is needed for America right now,
Obama said during a news conference in
Ethiopia.
Obamas comments marked his most
direct engagement in the race to succeed
him. Until now, hes largely limited his
commentary to policy differences with
Republicans, often sidestepping the names
of specific candidates.
But the presidents unsparing criticism
Monday targeting candidates Mike
Huckabee and Ted Cruz, as well as Trump
underscored his sensitivity to efforts to
scuttle the Iran accord, which he hopes will
be his signature foreign policy initiative. It
also raised the prospect of an aggressive
role for Obama in the 2016 presidential
campaign.
In 18 months, Im turning over the
keys, Obama said. I want to make sure Im
turning over the keys to somebody who is
serious about the serious problems that the

Minister Hailemariam Desalegn hold a news conference after their meeting at the National
Palace in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
country faces and the world faces.
The president was asked specifically
about Huckabees assertion that Obama had
agreed to a nuclear deal that would take the
Israelis and basically march them to the
door of the oven, a reference to crematoria
in Nazi concentration camps during the
Holocaust. The Israeli government staunchly opposes the agreement and views an
Iranian nuclear program as a threat to its
existence.
Obama said the comments from Huckabee,
a former Arkansas governor, were part of a
broader pattern from Republicans. He also
singled out Cruz, the Texas senator, for say-

ing the nuclear deal makes Obama not


Iran the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
These are leaders in the Republican
Party, Obama said, seeming incredulous.
He suggested the GOP was breaking longstanding American tradition of not playing
fast and loose with facts during serious
foreign policy debates.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner
for the Democratic nomination, said she
was offended personally by Huckabees
comments. His remarks should be repudiated by every person of good faith, she said
during a campaign stop in Iowa Monday.

Letters to the editor


Parking fees, and
downtown San Mateo
Editor,
I am not opposed to new parking fee
structure in Downtown San Mateo
raising parking rates to encourage
alternative transportation; to increase
the citys revenue for maintenance;
and to help turnover parking spaces to
ease congestion. I am discouraged,
however, that the rst days of changing over the system have been less
than ideal.
On July 1, and a second time before
the end of that week, I paid for parking
in the Central Parking Garage. Instead
of paying for three hours as needed, I
had paid for parking until 9 p.m.: the
machines software had not been
changed over on at least two different
machines.
Regretfully, I must let you know that
virtually every lot downtown, after a
weekend of nightlife, is disgustingly
lthy: beer and liquor bottles in the
stairwells, garbage in the parking
spots. I am a 27-year-old male in the
wine business and am no stranger to
such partying. But we are fortunate
enough to have a city and administrators that care deeply about the sustainability of this city, from the
Sustainable San Mateo County program, to installing electric car parking. Surely there must be something
more that can be done: more frequent
downtown clean-up days, or an awareness program.
As an employee of Porterhouse
Steakhouse and Spiedo Ristorante, and
for a short time a volunteer with the
Downtown San Mateo Association, I
spend much time downtown. This city
has done an excellent job of balancing
our population explosion with controlled, sustainable growth and we are
blessed to be located in the most coveted place in the world: Silicon Valley.
But parking revenue should be better
spent on preserving and improving
the best parts of San Mateo, not just
on new parking enforcement vehicles.

Development means
demand on infrastructure
Editor,
I am one of the letter writers to
whom Noveed Sapour refers (New
dense housing doesnt impact drought
in the July 22 edition of the Daily
Journal). I cant help but challenge
every assertion Sapour makes.
The primary culprit for water usage
is ... landscaping. Really? In my
house we use more inside for hygiene,
cleaning and cooking than we do outside for landscaping, and are reducing
in all areas.

dents. Really? So who is moving


into the housing they have vacated?
This isnt a mass rotation; in the end
there is a net increase in population.
Sapour rightly describes the twohour commute from Livermore, which
is legitimate, but then goes on to plug
public transit. So, why dont those
workers from Livermore take mass
transit instead of polluting with their
cars?
As for the jobs/housing imbalance,
perhaps we should stop building so
many massive ofce buildings, as the
imbalance has two components. Yes,
occupancy rates are quite good right
now, but over-building is over-building. We cannot support this increased
demand on our infrastructure, and
weve seen in the past what happens
when economic bubbles burst.
Simple logic should say that adding
buildings for ofces or residences
adds demand on our water supply,
our roads and the rest of our infrastructure. Yes, they also bring in new taxpayers, but is that enough to offset the
true economic and social costs?

Religious groups should


not be allowed to solicit
Editor,
It was interesting to read the permit
criteria for door-to-door solicitors in
San Carlos. I believe Burlingame has a
similar code.I realize special benets
for religious organizations are almost
an automatic response by our lawmakers but the exemption in the permit
case does not appear to serve any
legitimate public interest. It really
only discriminates against non-religious organizations and individuals
and smacks of government endorsement of religion and, is a taxpayer
subsidy for fees even though the
amounts are small. I understand the
First Amendment free speech issue
for the public square but I dont
believe my private property and front
door are included in the public
square. If they are, then I need to have
a conversation with the county tax
assessor about all that property tax I
have been paying for years.

Quoting Plato and employing

Why Republican?
Editor,
Jonathan Madisons column A citizens responsibility in the July 14
edition of the Daily Journal cannot go
unchallenged. He is terribly misguided
about what his party stands for, and
the vision it has for the working people of this country. This slanted and
misleading piece would lead one to
believe that the Republican Party is
the standard bearer of ethics and
integrity a claim any reader of your
publication knows to be laughably
false.
Mr. Madison compares the
California Legislature with regimes in
North Korea and China while omitting
the fact that his own party enacts and
supports legislation to move us toward
exactly that type of system.
Witness the Republican agenda to
dismantle the Voting Rights Act of
1965, their advocacy of Citizens
United, and their never ending quest to
regulate a womans reproductive
rights. Small government indeed.
As a person of color (which I am as
well), I would ask him to consider why
the most extreme elements of our society (the KKK, John Birchers, Birthers,
etc) identify as Republicans? Why do
the clear majority of minority voters
consistently reject the rhetoric of your
party leaders (which now includes
Donald Trump) and other strident voices of hate, exclusion and fear? Why are
they almost exclusively Republican?
What attracts them, and you Mr.
Madison, to this party?
Mr. Madison states he believes in
the power of individuals over the federal government. So how shall that
power be wielded when approximately half of the electorate identies with
one philosophy or another, and by
extension, a political party? How do
we reconcile these divergent opinions,
passions and vision for, as he states
the collective best interest of our
country?
Might it be something called
government?

The universe that


is beyond our sight
N

atives of San Mateo County are quite familiar with


the pervasive and impenetrable fog that often blankets the Peninsula. The nebulous mist too often
blinds us from the unfathomable number of stars bringing
light to the night sky. As a boy, I was mind-boggled by the
sight of the seemingly endless number of stars. For a
moment or two, I felt as though I could see the universe in
its entirety.
Years later, I became frustrated in learning that my eyes
had deceived me. I could not have possibly seen everything
as I could not see the gravity that holds the stars in place.
Try as I might, I could not see the wind currents traveling
trillions of miles between the stars and myself. I was also
blind to the ghost-like particles of dark matter an invisible form of matter that scientists now credit with shaping
the entire universe around us and
driving its inevitable expansion.
As such, I humbly came to learn
that we only glean an understanding of the vast invisible forces
of our universe by witnessing the
effects it has on our visible
world.
Mankind has shared a similar
frustration with our limited
understanding of the universe
throughout its history. In spite
of the vast achievements and
advances of our ancestors, we
often nd that the more we know, Jonathan Madison
the less we actually comprehend
about our complex surroundings.
July 16 marked the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 11
spacecraft mission to the moon a journey more than 250
thousand miles from our planet. The world watched as citizens of our great nation achieved the unthinkable: successfully journeying to another destination in interstellar space
and placing the colors of our ag atop the gray satellite.
Just last week, we tested the limits of our understanding of
the universe once again. NASA successfully launched the
rst spacecraft to Pluto a planet more than 4.67 billion
miles from Earth. The missions chief scientist Alan Stern
suggests that humanity has nally completed the initial
renaissance of the Solar System an endeavor championed by President Kennedy more than 50 years ago.
Indeed, it is an extraordinary time for the scientic communitys pioneers of the universe. But imagine my surprise
when I read several articles from the scientic community
suggesting that humanity is reaching a point at which our
understanding of the universe no longer necessitates a belief
in God. While I have the highest reverence and admiration
for the scientic community and individuals who choose not
to believe in a divine entity, the topic warrants discussion.
Mankinds scientic journey to understand the universe
began long before the Pluto spacecraft. We cannot forget the
discovery of Nicolas Copernicus of the 15th century that
debunked the myth of our sun revolving around Earth. Nor
can we forget about Sir Isaac Newtons law of gravity and
the revolutionary ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, Albert
Einstein, etc.
Yet, in spite of our countless scientic and technological
advances since the dawn of humanity, we continue to live in
a world blinded to its most eternal and magnanimous forces.
It is a deeply humbling truth to bear.
Plato once said that the images we can physically see are
nothing more than a shadow cast by images for which we
are blind. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took it one step further
before a church congregation in 1962 when he suggested
that the most lasting and eternal things in our universe are
never seen.
Most insightful, King suggested to the congregation that
while they could physically see him, that they could only
see a shadow of the man he was. You can never see my mind
... the me that makes me me, said King.
While I fervently believe in humanitys capacity to make
tremendous scientic advancements, we cannot forget that
every nation and culture on the face of this Earth possesses
an age-old belief in a deity. My faith in God has guided me
through the darkest trials and tribulations in my life. Like
countless others, I have personally experienced an unseen
love and hope that cannot be explained in materialistic
terms.
I would argue that the very essence of who we are beyond
name and form our love, hopes, faiths and beliefs is
much more real than the temporary physical shells in which
we exist. And yet, we cannot see it any more than we can see
the invisible inter-workings of our universe. As such, in
spite of our human advancements spanning thousands of
years, we nd that those achievements cannot dispel the
possibility that God exists within our universe.

NEW YORK The worst drop in


Chinas stock market in eight years
helped drag down other markets
around the world Monday.
The tough day follows declines in
U. S. markets last week, when the
three major indexes fell more than 2
percent as a number of big companies
reported disappointing earnings.
Faced with a drop in stock prices in
Asia, Europe and the U.S., investors
moved into traditional safe havens.
The yield on the 10-year U. S.
Treasury note fell to 2. 22 percent
from 2. 26 percent on Friday. The
price of gold rose 1 percent.
Dividend-heavy stocks, like utilities, also gained. Investors favor
high-dividend companies during
times of volatility because they provide a reliable income stream.
There remain very few buyers out
there and there are some growing concerns that were looking at a slowdown in global economic growth,
said Sean Lynch, co-head of global
equity strategy with the Wells Fargo
Investment Institute.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 127.94 points, or 0.7 percent, to
17,440.59. The Standard & Poors
500 index lost 12.01 points, or 0.6
percent, to 2,067.64 and the Nasdaq

composite lost 48.85 points, or 1


percent, to 5,039.78.
It was the fifth straight loss for the
U.S. market. The S&P 500 is still up
about half a percent for the year. The
Dow is down 2 percent and the techheavy Nasdaq is up 6 percent.
ASIA
The worries for investors this week
started with an 8.5 percentage point
plunge on the Shanghai market, the
biggest one-day decline since
February 2007.
It was the latest big drop in the
Chinese stock market, which has
slumped since early June.
Some analysts said Mondays dive
was set off by brokerages restricting
credit used to finance stock purchases,
also known as margin trading.
Chinese authorities took aggressive
steps to stabilize the market after it
tumbled last month.
The continuous check on margin
trading by security companies has
triggered todays sell-off, said Xu
Xiaoyu, a market strategist at China
Investment Securities. In addition,
the recent economic data shows it
still takes time for the economy to
recover from its sluggishness.
The precipitous rise and fall of the
Chinese stock market has been one of
the bigger topics of conversation for
investors this summer.
By the time Chinas Shanghai

benchmark index peaked in early


June, it was up 150 percent in the last
year. The gains were originally driven
by commentary in state media that
called the stock market undervalued.
That led investors to believe the government would ensure that stock
prices gained.
When the Chinese stock market
started falling, many investors felt
the decline would bring a much-needed
correction to that countrys stock
market bubble. But many small
Chinese investors jumped into the
market near its peak and are now sitting on significant losses.
There are now concerns the 30 percent decline in the stock market is
starting to do damage to Chinas
economy. A closely watched Chinese
purchasing managers index fell to a
15-month low over the weekend, with
analysts blaming the drop partly on
the market.
Rightly or wrongly, people are
concerned about a global economic
slowdown, said James Liu, a global
market strategist with JPMorgan
Funds.
The Chinese sell-off ruffled other
markets in Asia, though the scant
amount of foreign investment in
Chinese shares limits the ripple
effects outside of Hong Kong, a semiautonomous Chinese territory that is
also a financial center.

Chrysler settlement with govt could prove costly


By Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Fiat Chrysler could be


required to lay out hundreds of millions of
dollars to get potentially defective Ram
pickups and older Jeeps off the road under a
deal with safety regulators to settle claims
that the automaker mishandled nearly two
dozen recalls.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration is requiring the company to
offer to buy back certain Ram pickup trucks
and Dodge and Chrysler SUVs with defective
steering parts that can cause drivers to lose
control. More than 579,000 vehicles were
initially recalled in 2013, but the company
would only be required to buy back a third of
those because many of the pickups have
already been repaired.
The Italian-American automaker must also
allow owners of more than a million older
Jeeps with vulnerable rear-mounted gas
tanks to trade them in at above market value
or give them $100 as an incentive to get a

repair. Fiat Chrysler also faces a record civil


fine of up to $105 million.
Fiat Chrysler shares dropped nearly 5 percent Monday afternoon following the weekend announcement of the deal.
The settlement is the latest sign that auto
safety regulators are taking a more aggressive approach toward companies that fail to
disclose defects or dont properly conduct a
recall.
Merely identifying defects is not
enough, U.S. Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx said Monday during a conference call with media. Manufacturers that
fail in their duty to fix these defects will pay
a price.
Nearly 1.3 million Rams, Chrysler Aspen
and Dodge Durango SUVs and Dodge Dakota
pickups from as far back as the 2003 model
year were recalled for the steering problem
in 2013. The government excluded around
700,000 of the oldest models from the buyback program because most have already
been repaired or are no longer on the road.
But it ordered the buyback for up to

As Fed meets, it edges toward


its first rate hike since 2006
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve is


getting close to raising interest rates for the
first time in nearly a decade, perhaps in
September. When it meets this week,
though, dont expect any timetable for a rate
hike to be spelled out in a post-meeting
statement. For now, the Fed wants to keep its
options open.
Yet Chair Janet Yellen has left little doubt
that the Fed is preparing to raise short-term
rates by years end from the record lows the
central bank set at the depths of the 2008
financial crisis. With the U.S. economy and
job market now steadily rising, the need for
ultra-low rates to stimulate growth is fading.
Our economy is in a much better state,
Yellen told Congress earlier this month.
Were close to where we want to be, and we
now think the economy can not only tolerate but needs higher rates.
The economy still faces an array of

threats, from subpar U.S. manufacturing and


business investment to troubles in Europe
and Asia, which have roiled financial markets. Inflation also remains below the Feds
target rate. And while the unemployment
rate, at 5.3 percent, is nearly normal, other
gauges of the job market remain less than
healthy. Pay growth remains generally sluggish, for example, and many people are
working part time because they cant find
full-time jobs.
But Yellen has stressed that when the Fed
begins to raise rates, it will do so only gradually. The idea is to avoid weakening an
economy thats still benefiting from low
borrowing rates resulting from the Feds
policies.
Yellen has suggested that raising rates in
small increments, followed by pauses,
would let the Fed assess the effects of slightly higher rates. Higher rates would also
allow the Fed to respond later to any weakening of the economy by cutting rates
again.

579,000 vehicles from the 2008 through


2012 model years. Of those, around
193,000 have not gotten the recall repairs
and are eligible for either a repair or a buyback, according to recall reports submitted
to the government by Fiat Chrysler.
In each case, Fiat Chrysler would be
required to pay the original purchase price
plus 10 percent, minus a certain amount for
depreciation.
The ultimate cost of the settlement
depends on how many pickup and SUV owners join in. According to Kelly Blue Book, a
2010 Dodge Ram 1500 one of the smaller, less-expensive trucks involved in the
recalls could fetch $20,000 in a dealer
trade-in, assuming the truck has 60,000
miles on it and is in good condition. At
that rate, FCA could spend $956 million to
buy back one-quarter of the vehicles at issue.
The company is allowed to repair and resell
the trucks it buys back.
The government knows of at least one
death attributed to the steering defect.
The older Jeeps have fuel tanks located

Nike offers partial


refund to end FuelBand lawsuit
NEW YORK Nike will give partial
refunds or gift cards to people who bought
FuelBand fitness trackers in the last 3 1/2
years, resolving a lawsuit that says the
products cant accurately tally how many
steps a user is taking or how many calories
theyve burned.
A website maintained by Gilardi & Co. ,
a firm that administers settlements, says
Nike Inc. will give $15 payments or $25
gift cards to people who bought
FuelBands between Jan. 19, 2012 and
June 17, 2015.
Nike and collaborator Apple deny the allegations in the lawsuit but agreed to settle to
avoid a continued legal tussle, according to
court documents.
Nike launched the FuelBand in 2012. Its a
wrist band that tracks movement and translates it into what Nike calls Fuel. Users
can set daily goals for how much movement
that they want to achieve. The band can connect wirelessly to a smartphone app and its
features include a pedometer and a clock.
Nike hasnt disclosed sales figures. Last
year, it laid off some employees who worked
on the devices but said it would continue to
make them.
The lawsuit said the companies engaged in

behind the rear axle, with little to shield them


in a rear crash. They can rupture and spill
gasoline, causing a fire. At least 75 people
have died in crash-related fires, although Fiat
Chrysler maintains they are as safe as comparable vehicles from the same era.
FCA must offer $100 to Jeep owners as an
incentive to get a repair or a trade-in incentive of $1,000 toward the purchase of another Fiat Chrysler vehicle. The repair consists
of adding a trailer hitch to the Jeeps. FCA
has already repaired around 441,000 of the
1.5 million Jeeps recalled.
The Jeep trade-ins could add to the tab, but
they also could generate more new vehicle
sales by getting customers into showrooms.
Still, the total could strain the parent company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. The
company posted a first-quarter net profit of
$101 million and had more than $20 billion
in cash and securities on March 31.
FCA said the amount it pays to repurchase
vehicles will be applied as a credit to the
$20 million it agreed to spend on outreach
efforts as part of its $105 million fine.

devices could not track steps, calories or

lawsuit also alleged breaches of the terms of

Apple Watch will be


sold at some Best Buy stores
NEW YORK The Apple Watch is heading to some Best Buy stores ahead of the
holiday shopping season.
Best Buy Co. says it will sell the Apple
Watch at 100 of its stores and on its website
on August 7. Another 200 Best Buy stores
will offer the smartwatch before the end of
the year. Best Buy, which has more than
1,000 stores in the U.S., says its the first
national retailer to sell the watch outside of
Apple Inc.s stores.
The retailer, based in Richfield,
Minnesota, will offer models of the smartwatch that cost between $349. 99 and
$699.99.
Apple unveiled the watch in September
and began taking orders in April. The
Cupertino, California, company hasnt

Ricks ready and raring for St. Francis


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It has been quite a summer for Pacificas


burgeoning baseball star Elijah Ricks.
Ricks is perhaps best known for his
standout performance last summer in leading the Pacifica American Majors All-Star
team to the West Regional playoffs. Since
committing to St. Francis last December,
the 13-year-old has been sharpening his
game for the high school diamond by playing for Zoots Baseball, an elite travel team

based in San Jose.


After Pacifica American fell one game shy
of the Little League World Series last year,
Ricks debuted with the Zoots 13-and-under
team. And just two weeks after returning
home from the 60-foot bases of the West
Regional playoffs in San Bernardino, the 511 slugger was playing in a wood bat tournament against 16 year olds on a regulation
diamond with 90-foot bases.
This year, Ricks contemplated playing
for the Pacifica PONY-13 squad, with friends
who have been his teammates since they

began playing as 7 year olds. But the caliber


of the travel-ball circuit was simply too
strong to pass up.
I was going to play for the Pacifica
team, Ricks said. I had the tryout and
everything. But at the end I just decided to
play travel ball all summer.
While Ricks took some grief from his former Pacifica teammates, refining his skills
for the regulation diamond was the priority
with his freshman year at St. Francis now

After six straight losing seasons and years
of rebuilding, the Mets are finally in position
to make a playoff run thanks to their stingy
pitching staff. The team trails first-place
Washington by two games in the NL East and
entered Monday 3 1/2 behind San Francisco
for the leagues second wild card.
Starved for offense and seeking their first
postseason berth since 2006, the Mets added

New Yorks payroll has gone up by about

urgen Klinsmann can thank his


resume for keeping his job as the
United States Mens National
Soccer Team coach. Because following
the Americans laughable showing in the
Gold Cup, which included losses to
Jamaica and
Panama, a coach
with a lesser pedigree would have
certainly been
shown the door.
Other than a 6-0
shellacking of Cuba
in the quarterfinals,
the U.S. hardly
looked good during
pool play of the
Gold Cup. That
lackluster play
finally caught up to
the Americans in the game against
Jamaica and they were definitely not mentally into the Panama game for third place.
After a demoralizing loss to Jamaica, you
would think Klinsmann would get his
team fired up for Panama and put together
a performance that showed what kind of
the team the U.S. really is.
The U.S. did and the conclusion is it is
simply not very good.
Klinsmann is the German legend who
was to be the savior of the mens team
when he was named coach in 2011. Four
years later, the U.S. is not appreciably
better than it was under former coach Bob
Bradley and it can be argued the team is
actually worse during Klinsmanns
tenure. At least under Bradley, expectations were low. Under Klinsmann, expectations were sky high and he has come
nowhere near meeting them.
The one thing Klinsmann has done
well is recruit many players who have
dual citizenship with the U.S. and another country and persuading them to play
for Team USA. Where Klinsmann has

As deal closer to Mets


By Mike Fitzpatrick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The active New York Mets


acquired first-rate reliever Tyler Clippard from
Oakland for a minor league pitcher Monday,
completing their second trade in four days and
sending another signal theyre serious about
contending this year.
The suddenly aggressive Mets shipped
Casey Meisner to the Athletics in a swap of
right-handers that increases New Yorks payroll by a little more than $2 million.
The 30-year-old Clippard, eligible for free
agency after this season, is 1-3 with a 2.79
ERA and 17 saves in 21 chances. The Athletics
obtained him from Washington in January.

Oakland also traded starting pitcher Scott


Kazmir to Houston last Thursday.
The fact of the matter is we are in last place,
and so it would probably behoove us to get
return on players who are going to be free
agents, general manager Billy Beane said on
a conference call. I would assume that a lot of
people agree with that approach.
A two-time All-Star, Clippard joins closer
Jeurys Familia and gives the Mets an imposing 1-2 punch in the late innings to support
their talented rotation.
With former closers Bobby Parnell and
Jenrry Mejia also back in the bullpen, manager Terry Collins now has a number of proven
relief options which should take some
pressure off the New York starters who have

Crawfords 15th homer powers Giants past Brewers

SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Crawford hit


a two-run homer to help rookie Chris Heston
win his fifth consecutive decision, and the
San Francisco Giants beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 4-2 Monday night for their sixth
straight victory.
Heston (11-5) allowed two runs and five
hits over seven innings as the defending
World Series champions moved a seasonhigh 11 games over .500 with their seventh
home victory in a row and 12th in 13 overall.

Milwaukee outfielder
Carlos Gomez was ejected
in the ninth after tossing
his helmet following a
replay reversal of what
had been a stolen base.
He later threw a batting
glove.
Brewers manager Craig
Counsell came out to
Brandon
argue and also got tossed,
Crawford
his first career ejection as
a player or manager.
Pinch-hitter Gregor Blanco had an RBI

double in the seventh and Brandon Belt added


a sacrifice fly to back Heston, who won his
third straight start. He induced inning-ending
double plays in the first, third and fifth to
take a share of the major league lead (22) with
Minnesotas Kyle Gibson and Mike Pelfrey.
San Francisco is 9-1 since the All-Star
break and pulled within a half-game of the
first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL
West. Its the closest the Giants have been
since June 29.
Milwaukee slugger Ryan Braun was a late
scratch because of lower back tightness,
forcing Counsell to shuffle his lineup short-

ly before game time.


Brewers starter Kyle Lohse (5-12) hung in
there through 6 2-3 innings. He allowed four
runs and five hits, walked three and didnt have
a strikeout while losing his second straight
start and dropping to 0-3 over his past four.
Matt Duffy had three more hits for the
Giants a day after hitting a two-run homer
and driving in three runs. Sergio Romo
pitched the ninth for his second save as manager Bruce Bochy stayed away from closer

Warriors, Celts
seal deal for Lee

SPORTS

Niners ready to put rebuild in motion


2015 San Francisco 49ers

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors


have completed the trade sending two-time
All-Star forward David Lee to the Boston
Celtics for Gerald Wallace and Chris Babb,
the teams said Monday.
They agreed to the trade July 7, but
Boston needed time to
sort out other moves in
free agency
before
acquiring Lee.
Lee was an All-Star in
2010 with New York and
2013 with Golden State.
But he injured his left
hamstring in the final
preseason game in
David Lee
October and his role
diminished with the emergence of
Draymond Green, the runner-up for defensive player of the year.
Lee played the fewest minutes of his
career and averaged just 7.9 points per
game last season for the NBA champion
Warriors, who were looking to trade Lee to
limit the teams luxury tax hit next season.
Lee is due about $15.4 million in the final
year of his contract, while Wallace is owed
about $10 million next season.
The Warriors believe Wallace could fit in
well in their versatile defense, where players routinely switch positions.
The 6-foot-7 forward, who was an All-Star
in 2010 with Charlotte, played sparingly
for the Celtics last season. Wallace averaged 1.1 points and 8.9 minutes in 32
games both were career lows, as were his
totals for the season of 11 assists, 57
rebounds and 286 minutes.
Its unclear if theres a role on the
Warriors for Babb. He has played mostly
for the Maine Red Claws of the NBA
Development League the past two seasons.

Colin Kaepernick settled for third place last


year after leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl
three seasons ago.

2 0 1 4 reco rd: 8-8, third place NFC West.


Camp o p e n s : Aug. 1, Santa Clara,
California.
Las t y ear: 49ers went 8-8 and missed
playoffs for first time in four years following three straight trips to NFC championship game and Super Bowl runner-up after
2012 season. San Francisco parted ways
with fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, now
coaching his alma mater at Michigan.
Ke y addi t i o n s : Head coach Jim
Tomsula; WRs Torrey Smith and Jerome
Simpson; RB Reggie Bush; DL Darnell
Dockett; OL Erik Pears; CB Shareece
Wright; former Australian rugby league star
RB/special teams Jarryd Hayne.
Ke y l o s s e s : Harbaugh; LBs Patrick
Willis and Chris Borland; RT Anthony
Davis; DE Justin Smith; RB Frank Gore; LG
Mike Iupati; WR Michael Crabtree; CBs
Chris Culliver and Perrish Cox; P Andy Lee.
Camp needs : QB Colin Kaepernick spent

much of offseason in Arizona working on his


craft under guidance of Kurt Warner. Now, he
will try to take on greater leadership role necessitated by departures of veterans Willis, Gore
and Justin Smith. New-look offensive line must
come together quickly and looks to find some
consistency during preseason with perhaps LT
Joe Staley only one playing in regular spot as
Alex Boone likely moves from RG to LG in
place Iupati. Veteran placekicker Phil Dawson
is helping groom rookie punter Bradley
Pinion. New coach Tomsula has had time with
players during organized team activities and
minicamps but still must get plenty done during camp to determine best combinations.
Ex pectati o ns : Lots of questions here.
Three-time All-Pro linebacker NaVorro
Bowman hopes to return to top form in hurry
after missing 2014 while recovering from
left knee surgery after injury in NFC championship game at Seattle. He wants to lead
defense after playing alongside close friend
Willis; group still includes pass-rusher Aldon
Smith and veteran secondary.

Raiders embarking on last year in Oakland?


2015 Oakland Raiders
2 0 1 4 reco rd: 3-13, last place AFC West.
Camp o pens : July 31, Napa, California.
Las t y ear: Raiders went through two
coaches and won just three games in 12th
straight season without winning record or
playoff berth. Dennis Allen was fired after
team lost first four games and interim coach
Tony Sparano lost his first six in charge
before Raiders finally won. Bright spots from
talented rookie class included Derek Carr, perhaps finally quarterback to end Oaklands
revolving door at position since Rich Gannon
left. LB Khalil Mack was one of NFLs top
rookies and has makings of being a star.
Key addi ti o ns : Coach Jack Del Rio;
WRs Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree; C
Rodney Hudson; S Nate Allen; LBs Curtis

Lofton and Malcolm Smith; DT Dan


Williams; RBs Trent Richardson and Roy
Helu Jr.; TEs Clive Walford and Lee Smith.
Ke y l o s s e s : WR James Jones; RBs
Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew;
C Stefen Wisniewski; CBs Tarell Brown and
Carlos Rogers; DTs Antonio Smith and Pat
Sims; LB Miles Burris; S Tyvon Branch.
Camp needs : Biggest holes to fill are on
right side of offensive line and at cornerback.
After disappointing debut season in Oakland
at right guard, Austin Howard is moving back
to natural right tackle position to compete for
starting job with 2013 second-round pick
Menelik Watson. That leaves utility lineman
Khalif Barnes, Matt McCants, JMarcus
Webb and rookie Jon Feliciano to battle at
guard. DJ Hayden, teams top pick in 2013, is
competing for starting cornerback role with
pair of second-year players, TJ Carrie and
Keith McGill. Trio has just 15 career starts.
Ex pectati o ns : Raiders enter what could
be final season in Oakland with another new
coach. Del Rio is teams ninth since 2003
and has brought enthusiasm and proven
staff headed by defensive coordinator Ken
Norton Jr. and offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave. Raiders hope simpler defense and
faster-paced offense will suit roster better
and help lead to needed improvement.
Oakland has 11-37 record in three seasons
under GM Reggie McKenzie, but team hopes
to have some building blocks in last years
top two draft picks, Mack and Carr. Carr has
many more options this year with additions

Rockies reportedly trade Tulowitzki to Jays


By Brian Sandalow

and is signed through 2017 on a six-year,


$106 million deal.
While word of that potential deal was
breaking, the Rockies were recovering from
one of their cruelest defeats.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The Colorado Rockies used a


four-run rally to take the lead in top of the
ninth inning, only to fall short after a
walkoff two-run home run in the bottom of
the inning.
Kris Bryants two-run homer off closer
John Axford with two outs lifted the Chicago
Cubs to a 9-8 victory over the Rockies 9-8 on
Monday night.
That might not be their most stunning loss
of the night.
Fox Sports reported late Monday night the
Rockies have traded five-time All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to the Toronto Blue Jays
in a deal for Jose Reyes and minor leaguers.
Tulowitzki, 30, was hitting .300 with 12
home runs and 53 RBIs this season for
Colorado, which fell 13 games below .500.
Considered the face of the Rockies,
Tulowitzki and his six-year, $118 million
contract that runs through 2020 had been the
subject of trade rumors.
Prior to the game, Rockies manager Walt
Weiss was asked if hes talked to Tulowitzki
about handling distractions before Fridays

The Oakland Athletics have lost four in a

They are nobodys idea of a contender.
Yet Oakland with the worst record in the

behind the second wild card.

The Angels announced the deal Monday.
The 34-year-old Victorino is a two-time
World Series champion, a two-time All-Star

spent the past three years in Boston, batting
.245 in just 33 games this season with two

much of a threat to reach triple digits. Even the

Beane remaining
optimistic about
new As ballpark
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Athletics general manager


Billy Beane remains optimistic Oakland will
get a new ballpark.
Someday, some way. Hes not sure how it
will happen, but hopes it occurs during his
tenure running the club.
Because like everybody
else, as much as everybody
else likes stability, I can
assure you nobody wants it
more than I do, Beane
said. I would anticipate it
happening at some point.
Beane spoke on a conference call to discuss
Billy Beane
Mondays trade that sent
reliever Tyler Clippard to
the New York Mets for minor league pitcher
Casey Meisner. The GM offered no specifics
on a new ballpark other than to say, maybe
the environment is, maybe its right. Beane
noted it would make it a lot easier to plan
from a baseball operations standpoint.
Former Commissioner Bud Selig repeatedly said the As couldnt sustain themselves in
the run-down Coliseum they share with the
NFLs Oakland Raiders. Last summer, the As
reached a 10-year lease agreement with the
Oakland-Alameda
County
Coliseum
Authority to stay in their current home.
The As would like to relocate to San Jose,
where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial
rights. As owner Lew Wolff has said proposed
locations to build in Oakland arent feasible.

just a month from beginning. He got plenty
of that experience with Zoots, as the 13U
team concluded its season in early July at the
14U USA Baseball West National
Championships in Goodyear, Arizona.
There comes a point in time where Elijah
is going to dominate Little League, Zoots
manager Joe Bettencourt said. At some point
in time, its about testing yourself against the
best players. So, he decided this year that he
was going to do it fulltime and test the waters
and see exactly where his skill level was at.
Ricks seems to have passed the test, as did
his entire team. Of the 64 teams playing at
the finale tournament in Goodyear, all but
Zoots were 14-and-under teams. Yet Ricks,
batting in his signature No. 2 spot in the
order all summer, helped the team to the
championship game going 4 for 6 over the
final two games of the tourney.
And on the mound, he dazzled in the semifinal game, firing three shutout innings of
relief to close out a 6-5 win over California
Baseball Academy. It turned out to be the
final win of the season for Zoots as they fell
in the championship game. Still, Ricks
made quite an impression in his first full

It was hardly the first time Ricks has been
in the spotlight though. Previously he played
for two seasons with the Lamorinda travel
team based in the East Bay. And two seasons
ago as part of the Team USA 12-and-under
squad, he traveled to Taiwan where the team
won the 12U gold medal.

Then, of course, there was last season, when


Ricks took the ball for Pacifica American
under the bright lights of San Bernardino and
ESPN3 and pitched a two-hit shutout in a 1-0
win over Hawaii in the semifinals.
Bettencourt agreed 1-0 games in Little
League are a rare sight.
Its super, super rare, Bettencourt said.
What makes it unique, nowadays kids are
getting so big and so strong that in Little
League, youre pitching from 46 feet, where
Elijah had just come from pitching from 54
feet. So, it becomes where kids can dominate from 46 feet.
Zoots founded in 2008 by Cal great and
ex-big leaguer Jon Zuber has a range of
squads based on various age groups.
Bettencourt coaches the 13U, 17U and Elite
Team. He said Ricks might play for the Elite
Team as early as next year.
Theres always the option for next year as
a freshman, just so he can get mentored by the
other players who are much older,
Bettencourt said. If not, he will go to the
[17U] squad for sure, and then his sophomore
year would be the latest he would come up.
For Ricks, his sights are set on the immediate future and building a foundation for a
strong career through the three-tier system of
the freshman, junior-varsity and varsity
teams at St. Francis.
Im going to go one by one, Ricks said.
My goal is Im going to make the J.V. team
as a freshman.

THE AS TRADE CAROUSEL


6/4/02 As select Nick Swisher with the 16th
overall pick of the MLB First-Year Player Draft.
1/3/08 As trade Swisher to White Sox for
LHP Gio Gonzalez, RHP Fautino De los Santos
and OF Ryan Sweeney.
12/23/12 As trade Gonzalez and a minor
leaguer to Nationals for RHP A.J. Cole, LHP
Tommy Milone, C Derek Norris and RHP Brad

1/16/13 As acquire C John Jaso from
left-handed batters to a .100 average this season (7 for 70) and a .183 mark throughout his
nine-year career with the Yankees, Nationals
and Athletics. Right-handed hitters have managed only .197, for that matter.
Clippard, who led the majors with 40 holds
last year, is the lone pitcher to appear in at
least 70 games in each of the past five seasons
(2010-2014).
When he reports Tuesday, there will be
$3,129,508 remaining from his $8.3 million
salary. Oakland will pay the Mets $1 million
as part of the trade.

and St. Lucie this season.
A guy that we think is going to be a starter
all the way through, and a guy that we liked out
of the draft, Beane said. One of our focuses
here, even as it relates to the Kazmir deal and
on this deal, was really focusing on some guys
that maybe are a little farther away, but maybe
had a little bit more upside, which is not necessarily how weve approached things maybe
in the more recent past. Hes 92-94 (mph) with
his fastball and still room for growth.
Beane said it was the first deal hes ever
made with Mets general manager Sandy
Alderson, his former boss in Oakland.
Meisner is expected to report to Class A
Stockton in the California League.

After Olympic dreams dashed, U.S. plays Aruba or St. Vincent


Bostonians wonder: Now what? in World Cup qualifying opener
By Philip Marcelo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Opponents are cheering the unceremonious demise of


Bostons bid for the 2024 Summer
Olympics, but some are wistfully
wondering what might have been.
The U.S. Olympic Committee
officially severed ties with Boston
on Monday, saying it was exploring
other options amid lackluster public
support and concerns from elected
leaders and organized opposition
about the impact to taxpayers.
For some supporters, the
announcement dashed hopes for billions of dollars in new investments
that would have dramatically remade
New Englands largest city and further tarnished Bostons image as a
city of cynics and curmudgeons with
a cant do spirit.
Im sad for Boston. I dont think
there are any winners here, said Ed
Lyons, a Boston resident who has
been among the most active on
social media defending the proposal. I think a lot of people had a lot
of hope and civic energy that they
were willing to put into Boston
2024...Thats going to be a wound
that hurts for a while.
But Rafael Mares, an attorney for
the Conservation Law Foundation,
an environmental group thats been
closely following the bids development, suggests that, if anything, the

ferocity of the local Olympics


debate showcased the ability of
Bostonians not to shy away from
tough questions.
Its a sign of how smart this
region is that it can delve into the
details, understand the numbers and
come to the conclusion that this
isnt good for us, he said. Does
that mean we dont want any development or any improvements? No.
Of course we do.
Jake Duhaime, a Mansfield resident who had been among the early
supporters of the games, blames
Boston 2024 organizers for turning
residents against the idea at nearly
every step since Boston was picked
over Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Washington, D.C. in January.
This bid started as truly grassroots. It had a heart and soul. But that
got stripped through the process,
he said. It became less about the
Olympics and more about people
cashing in.
Duhaime also feared that public
interest that seemed to be building
around finally addressing some of
the greater Boston areas most

intractable problems might evaporate, relegating those important topics to the back burner. Now these
stories move from page A-1 to page
B-6, he said. They become irrelevant, because theyre not attached to
the Olympic brand name.
Opponents argue just the opposite, suggesting the end of the bid
allows Boston to plan its future on
its own terms.
The Olympics were just a distraction from the types of discussions
we should be having, said Jonathan
Cohn, a Boston resident whos been
among the most active voices on
Twitter opposed to the bid. We
dont need the Olympics to talk
about fixing the (transit system) or
climate change or underfunded
schools or widening inequality.
Massachusetts politicians and
business leaders struck similar
themes Monday.
Boston is a great city. We have so
many strong attributes, said Mayor
Marty Walsh as he thrust one of the
final daggers into the heart of the
citys Olympics bid, declaring
Monday morning that he would not
sign a guarantee placing taxpayers
on the hook if the games went over
budget. We dont need the
Olympics to plan the future of
Boston, but the conversation of the
Olympics has helped us look at
things differently.

Arizona Cardinals name woman to training camp coaching position


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals have


hired Jen Welter to coach inside linebackers
through their upcoming training camp and preseason.
The Cardinals say Welter is believed to be
the first woman to hold a coaching position of
any kind in the NFL. Welter played running
back and special teams in 2014 for the Texas
Revolution of the Indoor Football League,
becoming the first woman to hold a non-kicking position for a mens professional sports
league.
I am honored to be a part of this amazing
team, Welter said on Twitter on Monday
night.

Welter coached linebackers and special teams


for the Revolution last
season, becoming the first
woman to coach in a mens
pro football league. Her
general manager with the
Revolution was 2015 NFL
Hall of Fame inductee Tim
Brown.
Jen Welter
Welter played linebacker for more than 14 seasons in the
Womens Football Alliance, mostly with the
Dallas Diamonds, where she helped the team
win four championships. Welter holds a masters degree in sports psychology. A rugby
player at Boston College, she also earned two

gold medals on Team USA at the International


Federation of Football Womens World
Championships in 2009 and 2013.
A news conference was scheduled for Tuesday
to introduce Welter and Levon Kirkland, a former Pro Bowl linebacker who is the inaugural
participant in the Bill Bidwill Coaching
Fellowship established to give recently retired
NFL players a chance to coach in the league.
He will work with outside linebackers for the
next two seasons.
Four months ago at the NFL meetings,
Arizona coach Bruce Arians was asked about
the possibility of a woman coaching in the
NFL.
The minute they can prove they can make a
player better, theyll be hired, Arians said.

Speaking to azcardinals.com on Monday,


Arians said: Coaching is nothing more than
teaching. One thing I have learned from players is How are you going to make me better? If
you can make me better, I dont care if youre
the Green Hornet, Ill listen.
I really believe shell have a great opportunity with this internship through training
camp to open some doors for her, Arians said.
Its the second such barrier to be broken in
the NFL this year. The league announced in
April that Sarah Thomas would be the first
woman to be a full-time NFL official.
In the NBA, Becky Hammon is an assistant
coach with San Antonio and served as the head
coach for the Spurs team that won the Las
Vegas Summer League championship.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NFL is preparing to send out instructions to


game officials and teams explaining new rules for
inspecting footballs.
Two people familiar with the leagues plans tell The
Associated Press on Monday that proper inflation of
the footballs will be documented as part of the new
policy. But those people, speaking on condition of
anonymity because the league has not released information on the new policy, say no instructions have
been sent out yet.
The first preseason game is Aug. 9, the Hall of
Fame game between Minnesota and Pittsburgh in
Canton, Ohio.
Among the details being considered for the new
policy: having game officials appointed by the referee inspect the 48 footballs for each game more than
two hours before kickoff. In the past, the referee
inspected the footballs.
Also under consideration is checking pressure readings for every ball before the game and then again at
halftime.
These changes stem from the use of underinflated
footballs in the AFC championship game, which led
to a four-game suspension for New England quarterback Tom Brady, a $1 million fine for the Patriots,
and two draft picks.
Brady has appealed the suspension and is awaiting
Commissioner Roger Goodells ruling. The Patriots
did not challenge their punishments.
Under the new guidelines, the official in charge of

Tom Brady, left, has appealed his Deflategate


suspension and is awaiting the commissioners ruling.
K balls used in the kicking game would handle all
footballs after they pass inspection by the two chosen game officials. Ten minutes before the game, a
member of the officiating crew and a security official
will bring 24 balls, 12 for each team, to the field. The
other 24 balls will remain in the officials dressing
room.
Those footballs would be used in the second half of
games in which the first 24 balls are inspected at
halftime. Those halftime inspections will be done
randomly.
Data for all inspected balls, including the amount
of air in each, will be sent to the league office for
evaluation.

failed miserably is in developing a solid,
sound, predictable lineup. Ive never seen a
soccer coach at any level mix and
match players almost on a whim as much
as Klinsmann has. Players who start one or

Granted, a coach needs to assess what


kind of players they have, but Klinsmann
seems to have his priorities backward.
Coaches evaluate during friendlies and go
for wins in tournaments. It wasnt too long
ago the U.S. picked up two of the biggest
wins in history by beating Holland and
Germany in the span of a couple of days.
Im sure Klinsmann put a lot of stock in
those two friendlies. Holland and
Germany? Im guessing not as much.
It can be argued that the losses to
Jamaica in the semifinals and to Panama in
the third-place match at the Gold Cup are
two of the worst U.S. losses in at least 20
years. The U.S. and Mexico are the big
dogs in CONCACAF, but the Americans
certainly didnt live up to that moniker in
the Gold Cup.
Klinsmanns other big problem is finding defined roles for the players. Seems
every time I watch the U.S. play, there are
a bunch of guys seemingly just running
around with no goal. Its good to have flexibility as a player, but its up to the coach
to put them in the best position to succeed
and I havent seen Klinsmann do that.
Granted, one of the biggest dilemmas
facing Klinsmann is the fact the U.S. just

Software turns phones into tools for medical research


By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Jody Kearns


doesnt like to spend time obsessing
about her Parkinsons disease. The 56year-old dietitian from Syracuse, New
York, had to give up bicycling because
the disorder affected her balance. But
she still works, drives and tries to live
a normal life.
Yet since she enrolled in a clinical
study that uses her iPhone to gather
information about her condition,
Kearns has been diligently taking a
series of tests three times a day. She
taps the phones screen in a certain
pattern, records a spoken phrase and
walks a short distance while the
phones motion sensors measure her
gait.
The thing with Parkinsons disease
is theres not much you can do about
it, she said of the nervous-system disorder, which can be managed but has
no cure. So when I heard about this, I
thought, I can do this.
Smartphone apps are the latest tools
to emerge from the intersection of
health care and Silicon Valley, where
tech companies are also working on
new ways of bringing patients and
doctors together online, applying
massive computing power to analyze
DNA and even developing ingestible
smart pills for detecting cancer.
More than 75, 000 people have
enrolled in health studies that use specialized iPhone apps, built with software Apple Inc. developed to help turn
the popular smartphone into a research
tool. Once enrolled, iPhone owners
use the apps to submit data on a daily
basis, by answering a few survey questions or using the iPhones built-in
sensors to measure their symptoms.
Scientists overseeing the studies say
the apps could transform medical
research by helping them collect
information more frequently and from
more people, across larger and more
diverse regions, than theyre able to
reach with traditional health studies.
A smartphone is a great platform
for research, said Dr. Michael
McConnell, a Stanford University cardiologist, whos using an app to study
heart disease. Its one thing that people have with them every day.
While the studies are in early stages,
researchers also say a smartphones

touchscreen can take precise readings

able than a doctors observations.
These can be correlated with other
health or fitness data and even environmental conditions, such as smog
levels, based on the phones GPS
locater.
Others have had similar ideas.
Google Inc. says its developing a
health-tracking wristband specifically
designed for medical
studies.
Researchers also have tried limited
studies that gather data from apps on
Android phones.
But if smartphones hold great promise for medical research, experts say
there are issues to consider when turning vast numbers of people into walking test subjects.
The most important is safeguarding
privacy and the data thats collected,
according to ethics experts. In addition, researchers say apps must be
designed to ask questions that produce
useful information, without overloading participants or making them lose
interest after a few weeks. Study organizers also acknowledge that iPhone
owners tend to be more affluent and not
necessarily an accurate mirror of the
worlds population.
Apple had previously created software called HealthKit for apps that
track iPhone owners health statistics
and exercise habits. Senior Vice
President Jeff Williams said the company wants to help scientists by creat-

ing additional software for more specialized apps, using the iPhones capabilities and vast user base estimated
at 70 million or more in North America
alone.
This is advancing research and
helping to democratize medicine,
Williams said in an interview.
Apple launched its ResearchKit program in March with five apps to investigate Parkinsons, asthma, heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer. A
sixth app was released last month to
collect information for a long-term
health study of gays and lesbians by
the University of California, San
Francisco. Williams said more are
being developed.
For scientists, a smartphone app is a
relatively inexpensive way to reach
thousands of people living in different
settings and geographic areas.
Traditional studies may only draw a few
hundred participants, said Dr. Ray
Dorsey, a University of Rochester neurologist whos leading the Parkinsons
app study called mPower.
Participating in clinical studies is
often a burden, he explained. You
have to live near where the studys
being conducted. You have to be able
to take time off work and go in for frequent assessments.
Smartphones also offer the ability
to collect precise readings, Dorsey
added.

cost of the improvement projects onto bill

We have looked at a lot of different
options, including not complying with the
settlement, he said. We are open to any
suggestions.
Millbrae resident Regina Barry expressed
frustration for the proposed rate hike, in an
email.
This particular increase is out of control
and will cause great financial difficulty for a
lot of Millbrae water customers, she said.
An online petition protesting the rate
hikes has collected 120 signatures from residents who have expressed their formal
opposition, and according to a city report,
staff has received 225 written protests.
Lee said the concerns of residents have
not fallen on deaf ears, but noted that they
are not unexpected.
Anytime you raise rates, you are going

to face complaints, he said. Its nothing


new, but it is not to be discounted.
He encouraged residents to attend the
council meeting, to give officials an opportunity to hear any creative solutions residents might have to raise the funds for the
required capital improvements.
I think we have got to give the public
more opportunities to speak about this, he
said.
Those who attend will likely face the
harsh reality of the terms of the settlement,
and perhaps become more amenable to the
rate hikes, he said.
We will give them the facts and hopefully they will realize we all live in a community and all have to pitch in, he said. I
think people will see we are in really bad
shape, and we are beating the bushes for
ways to pay this. But we knew this day
would come, so this day is coming.
He suggested residents might find some

solace in knowing Millbrae is only one of a


series of communities along the Peninsula,
such as San Carlos, that also faced substantial rate hikes due to a lawsuit from the
Baykeepers.
Lee added the council was receptive to
suggestions from residents who could generate innovate solutions to the rate hike
proposal.
We are open to good ideas, he said.
But ultimately, he said he understood the
exasperation some residents felt.
Im frustrated too, he said. This is

Cost of health care coverage increasing


By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The cost of private


individual health plans on Californias
state-run market will increase about 4 percent for the second straight year, evidence
the strategy of forcing insurers to compete
is controlling costs, program officials said
Monday.
The average premium will rise 4 percent
in 2016, a slight decrease from the 4.2 percent jump in 2015, said Peter Lee, executive
director of Covered California.
The average increase in Southern
California is 1.8 percent, for a total of $296
a month, compared to 7 percent, or a total
of $384 a month, in Northern California.
Southern Californians can get better rates
because the region has more provider competition.
The exchange also added two new participants for the first time UnitedHealthcare,
the nations largest health insurer, and a
New York startup called Oscar.
Lee said Californias 2016 rates are proof
that the Affordable Care Act is working in
the state. He credited Californias aggressive approach on haggling with insurers.
The health plans know that if they price
their products too high and consumers
know its too high, because its an apples-

to-apples comparison, they will not get


enrollment, Lee said in an interview.
The announcement was applauded by consumer groups and health advocates.
While any increase in premiums may be
hard on family budgets, this relatively
small jump means California made sound
decisions in establishing the structure and
powers of the exchange and requirement
that all plans meet Affordable Care Act standards, said Betsy Imholz of Consumers
Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer
Reports.
Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser
Family Foundation said Covered California
appears to be gaining momentum with several major insurers jockeying for market
share and substantial enrollment. Its
unclear how the rest of the private market
will look yet, he said.
This shows how a stable, competitive
individual insurance market can work,
Levitt said.
One of the main goals of President Barack
Obamas health overhaul was to slow
increases in health care costs and premiums.
There had been some concern that some
insurers around the country were requesting
rate increases above 10 percent, saying
their new customers turned out to be sicker
than expected.

Covered California officials say Southern California consumers can save nearly 10 percent by
moving to a lower-cost plan within the same benefit design.

Mental health experts respond carefully to mass killings


By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK One psychiatry professor calls it the conversation were


stuck with, a teachable moment growing out of horror.
Each time mental illness is cited as a
possible factor in a high-profile mass
killing, theres a collective sigh among
mental health professionals. Even as
they see an opportunity for serious discussions of problems and remedies,
they also worry about setbacks to their
efforts to destigmatize mental illness.
Most people who suffer from mental
illness are not violent, and most violent acts are committed by people who

are not mentally ill, said Dr. Renee


Binder, president of the American
Psychiatric Association.
If, hypothetically, everyone with
mental illness were locked up, you
might think you were safe, but you are
not, Binder said.
According to the National Institute of
Mental Healths latest estimate, from
2012, there were an estimated 9.6 million adults in the U.S. 4.1 percent of
the total adult population experiencing serious mental illness over the previous year.
If you look at that large pool of people, only a tiny proportion of them will
eventually commit violence, Binder
said. How are you going to identify

them? Its like a needle in a haystack.


Yet public perceptions can be hard to
shake. Of the mass shootings of the
past 10 years that are most ingrained in
Americas psyche, the mental health
problems of the perpetrator became a
central part of the narrative in several
cases notably the rampages at
Virginia Tech in 2007, at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut, at an Aurora, Colorado,
movie theater in 2012, and near the
University of California, Santa
Barbara, in 2014.
Just this month, a jury convicted
James Holmes of 12 murders in Aurora,
after a wrenching trial that delved
deeply into his mental problems.

be required, said McBride.
The bond likely going to voters in
the coming election, and any potential
subsequent similar bonds, would
finance the districts efforts to offer
students a state of the art education,
said McBride.
Our kids deserve a 21st century
learning environment, he said.
Under board approval to put the bond
on the fall election ballot, 55 percent
of residents would need to grant support for it to pass.
The district intends to conduct the
election using all mail ballots, as it
joins a growing movement across the
county, established by legislation
from Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, DSouth San Francisco, to move away
from the traditional election system.
Polling projections conducted in the
months prior have indicated nearly 70
percent of Redwood City residents
would be willing to vote in favor of the
bond.
McBride said he has received only
one letter from a resident asking the
board not to move forward with the
bond, but has heard substantial support
from members of the school community who feel the district has responsibly
administered funds generated by previous bonds, which gives them faith the
same will hold true for future measures.

WATER
Continued from page 1
taken root.
But officials with the San Mateo
County Health System are urging residents with dirty cars to drop the hoses
and drive on down to your local car
wash instead.
Why?
Car washes actually save water and
prevent pollution from entering into
the Bay and ocean.
And now San Mateo County is even
offering $5 discounts to residents to go
to the car wash rather than wash vehicles at home.
Using a professional car wash can
save about 150 gallons of water, which
is equivalent to three to four showers or
10 loads of dishes. In fact, most professional car washes use under 20 gallons of water per car, which is equal to
the amount used by new, water-saving
washing machines, according to a
press release from the countys Health
System.
Professional car washes trap and
recycle the water used. Washing a car in
the driveway or street sends pollutants
like oil, grease, copper, nickel, zinc

We have done what we have said we


would do, and we delivered on time and
under budget, he said. We know how
to manage these things.
Redwood City students deserve the
chance to enjoy modern school facilities, similar to those which other students in districts across San Mateo
County have access to, said McBride.
Our kids should not be in schools
that are less desirable than neighboring districts, he said.
Among the top priorities identified
in the previously approved facilities
plan, John Gill Elementary as well as
Garfield and Taft community schools
are slated to receive a majority of the
funds from the bond measure, as all
require about $20 million of more
worth of improvements.
A majority of the bond revenue,
should it pass, would be spent to modernize and reconfigure classrooms, as
well as pay toward structural upgrades,
safety improvements and new windows, door, floors, ceilings and paint,
according to a district report.
Some campuses also need better
sewer and plumbing systems, as well as
lighting and electrical upgrades, plus
improved student drop-off areas, fencing, fire alarms, public address systems, alarms and cameras, according to
the report.
Bond revenue would also be used to
upgrade school libraries, build classrooms for music and art programs,
upgrade student health service and
physical education facilities and
improve energy efficiency, according

to an official district summary of the


bond targets.
Many of the district schools are
between 50 and 80 years old, and are in
dire need of modernization and renovation, said McBride.
Should the bond be approved by voters, officials would be eligible to spend
roughly $140 million and the remaining dollars would be set aside to cover
potential cost escalations, interim
housing expenses for students displaced by construction and other contingencies, according to the report.
In coming years, the district also
expects to receive more than $6 million in fees from residential developers
who are required to pay for the impact
an influx of future students living in
recently constructed housing projects
will have on school facilities, which
would also be spent to improve campuses and classrooms.
McBride said district officials take
pride in the education offered to students, but renovations and improvements to campuses and classrooms are
necessary to continue the same standard of success.
We love our schools, he said. But
they are kind of dated.

which go directly into local creeks, the
San Francisco Bay and the Pacific
Ocean.
At Duckys, a state-of-the-art computer system ensures that each customers car gets exactly the right
amount of soaps, cleaners and waxes.
Its soft-cloth wash system uses recycled water which is thoroughly filtered
by a reclamation system to guarantee
clean water, free of any dirt or debris.
Residents who wash their own cars in
front of their homes or driveways,
however, are likely sending the dirty
water into the Bay.
Some cities will even fine residents
for allowing the soapy water to enter
storm drains.
Water is so vital to San Mateo
County; it is indispensable in our daily
lives and we have the good fortune to
be surrounded by beautiful water on
both sides. We all play a role in saving
and protecting water now and for future
generations, and were pleased to partner with 10 local car washes that are
committed to reducing water use and
preventing pollution, San Mateo
County Supervisor Don Horsley wrote
in a statement.
Tuesday, July 28, Horsely will be at
Duckys to give a behind-the-scenes
look at how it saves water and prevents

pollution from entering the Bay.


The county has a water pollution prevention program that offers pollution
prevention rewards to those who participate.
It also offers advice on the best
options to keep your car clean if you
cant make it to the car wash.
They include:
Wash your vehicle on the grass or
gravel or where water can be diverted to
nearby landscaping, away from the
street and storm drains;
Put a nozzle on the hose and use
rags to wipe brake dust off of wheels
before washing;
Reduce the amount of soap used.
Wash the car with plain water and use a
hose nozzle with a trigger to save
water;
Use soaps, cleaners and detergents
that are labeled phosphate free or
biodegradable. Any soap, even
biodegradable, is not allowed to flow
into the storm drain, because even
biodegradable soap depletes water of
oxygen which harms aquatic life;
Pour the bucket of soapy water
down the sink when you are done.

U.S., Turkey plan


for a safe haven
free of IS in Syria
By Zeina Karam and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Turkey and the


United States have agreed on the
outlines of a plan to rout the
Islamic State group from a strip of
Syrian territory along the Turkish
border a plan that opens the
possibility of a safe haven for tens
of thousands of displaced Syrians
but one that also sets up a potential conflict with U.S.-backed
Syrian Kurdish forces in the area.
The move further embroils
Turkey, a key NATO ally, in Syrias
civil war, and also catapults it into
a front-line position in the global
war against IS.
A senior Obama administration
official said Monday that U.S. discussions with Turkey about an ISfree zone focused on a 68-mile
stretch still under IS control. The
U.S. has been conducting
airstrikes there, which will accelerate now that the U.S. can launch
strikes from Turkish soil, the official said.
No agreement between Turkey
and the U.S. has yet been final-

ized, said the official, who spoke


on condition of anonymity under
regulations.
In
Washington,
State
Department spokesman John
Kirby said that any joint military
efforts with Turkey would not
include the imposition of a no-fly
zone. The U.S. has long rejected
Turkish and other requests for a nofly zone to halt Syrian government air raids, fearing it would
draw U.S. forces further into the
civil war.
While details of the buffer-zone
plan have yet to be announced,
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu said Ankara and
Washington have no intention of
sending ground troops into Syria
but wanted to see Syrias moderate
opposition forces replace IS near
the Turkish border.
Moderate forces like the Free
Syrian Army will be strengthened,
a structure will be created so that
they can take control of areas freed
from ISIL, air cover will be provided. It would be impossible for
them to take control of the area
without it, Davutoglu told

REUTERS

Smoke rises after what Kurdish Peoples Protection Units fighters said was shelling by them on locations controlled
by Islamic State fighters in Ghwayran neighborhood in Hasaka, Syria.
Turkeys A Haber television. ISIL
is an alternate acronym for the
Islamic State group.
The discussions came amid a
major tactical shift in Turkeys
approach to IS. After months of
reluctance, Turkish warplanes
started striking militant targets in
Syria last week, and allowed the
U.S. to launch its own strikes from
Turkeys strategically located
Incirlik Air Base.
Turkey has also called a meeting
of its NATO allies for Tuesday to

discuss threats to its security and


its airstrikes. Davutoglu said
NATO has a duty to protect
Turkeys border with Syria and
Iraq, and that Ankara will seek the
alliances support for its actions at
the meeting in Brussels.
But a Turkish-driven military
campaign to push IS out of territory along the Turkish border is likely to complicate matters on the
ground.
U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in
Syria, who have been the most

successful in the war against IS,


control most of the 910 kilometers (565 miles) boundary with
Turkey, and have warned Ankara
against any military intervention
in northern Syria.
The Islamic State controls
roughly a 60-mile stretch of that
border, wedged between Turkishbacked insurgents with Islamist
ideologies to the left and Kurdish
forces
from
the
Peoples
Protection Unit, known as the
YPG, to the right.

Turkish bombing of Kurds carries risk of instability


By Desmond Butler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL Turkeys unexpected move to launch raids against


Kurdish rebels at the same time it is
cracking down on the Islamic State
group risks ending a period of relative calm and stability for the country that has been a boon for the
economy.
The peace process launched in
2012 with the Kurdistan Workers
Party, or PKK, has been one of the
signature
achievements
of
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
ending decades of violence that has

left thousands dead. But that came


to a sudden end in recent days as the
Kurdish rebel group claimed
responsibility for the killing of
two Turkish policemen, and Turkish
jets slammed a Kurdish stronghold
in northern Iraq.
Turkish officials have portrayed
the airstrikes in Iraq against the
Kurds, and in Syria against IS, as a
decisive move to protect Turkish
democracy against terrorism and to
change an unfavorable dynamic in
its backyard. They say that the
move against the PKK was a necessary response to recent acts of violence. Prime Minister Ahmet

Davutoglu also accused the Kurdish


rebel group, which Turkey and the
U.S. consider a terrorist group, of
not keeping a pledge to withdraw
armed fighters from Turkish territory and to disarm.
But hitting the PKKs mountainous stronghold in Qandil, Iraq, in
two bombing runs was an escalation that could make it hard to put
the peace process back together
again. Already, the PKK has
declared the end of a cease-fire.
The developments follow major
political gains for Turkish Kurds,
whose main political party, the
HDP, for the first time cleared a 10-

percent threshold for entering parliament in June elections. The election of 80 Kurdish members of parliament from HDP upended Turkish
politics by ending the ruling
majority of Erdogans Justice and
Development Party, or AKP.
Kurdish leaders say Erdogans camp
secretly wants coalition talks
between AKP and other parties to
fail so that the longtime ruling
party can try again to reach a majority in repeat elections that could
come as early as November.
At the moment, the acting prime
minister is, step by step, taking
Turkey toward a war, HDP co-chair

Selahattin Demirtas said of


Davutoglu, adding that the bombings across Turkeys border are all
part of the government plan to save
themselves. Turkey could now face
a return to a guerrilla war with the
PKK that only months ago looked
likely to end for good in a peace
agreement even as IS is destabilizing Turkey with the threat of further violence.
The fact that Turkey is now
clamping down on IS, which is
liable to retaliate and at the same
time taking on the PKK, raises
great uncertainty for Turkey, said
Bulent Aliriza.
