Local, state, federal reps collaborate


Levee improvement project to address FEMA, sea level rise
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Preparing to take on one of Foster


Citys most significant projects in the
Bayside communitys history prompted
federal, state, county and local officials
to gather Friday to discuss a levee project aimed at adapting to sea level rise.
The catalyst of the multi-million effort
is to meet the Federal Emergency
Management Agencys standards for a
100-year-storm and prevent nearly 9,000
properties from being subject to costly
flood insurance.
FEMAs pending coastal flood map
indicates the citys nearly 8-mile levee

system is no longer adequate and officials are moving toward extensive


upgrades estimated to cost between $35
million and $65 million.
With nearly a dozen permitting as well
as environmental agencies involved,
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, held a meeting at Foster
City Hall.
Striving to bring everyone to the table
to air any concerns upfront and format a
collaborative process that will ideally
result in a new levee by 2020, also
brought officials from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife, California Department of Fish


and Wildlife, the San Francisco Bay
Conservation
and
Development
Commission and more.
We have a responsibility to showcase
Foster City as the way to do levee projects around the state and around the
country. And I for one, want this to be an
example that we can point to, Speier
said, noting the value of collaboration
and consulting with agencies early on.

Voice of the Prairie harks back to early radio days


By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

A farmer becomes a celebrity by


telling stories to early radio audiences in John Olivers The Voice
of the Prairie, presented by Dragon
Productions.
Davey Quinn (Robert Sean
Campbell), an orphan, apparently
inherited his story-telling ability

from the 70-year-old Irish relative


who looks after him. After the man
dies in 1895, young Davey has only
his wits to help him survive.
Taking to the road, he rescues a
young blind girl, Frankie (Maria
Giere Marquis), from her abusive
father. She becomes his companion,
riding the rails and sharing great
adventures for several months before
theyre inadvertently separated.

Some years later, Davey has


become a farmer who talks to
friends about those adventures. A
slick New Yorker, Leon Schwab
(Tom Gough), overhears him and
convinces him to tell his stories on
Leons pioneering radio station,
which he also uses to sell radios.

Trying not to learn the hard way


Restorative justice program comes into focus at alternative high school
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Students at Peninsula Alternative High


School received valuable lessons on developing
effective communication methods and strategies for coping with the wide range of difficult
emotions experienced in formative years,
through a new program the school is implementing.
Eric Butler, a restorative justice expert, lectured to a crowd of roughly 100 gathered at the
continuation school in San Bruno for nearly an
hour Thursday, Aug. 27.
Butler, a former professional football player
turned educator, tried to convey the value of
establishing clear lines of communication
between students and administration at the
school, with a keen understanding of the inherent distrust that lies between the two groups.
Through sharing his journey, which circulated largely around the murder of his sister, Butler
preached the necessity of being able to express
emotions to others while trying to work through
a variety of stressful and difficult scenarios.
If you knew your story would save a life,
would you tell it? he asked, to a response of
cheers from students. Because it can. You
never know how your story will change another persons life, he said.
Restorative justice programs have recently
been a focus at Peninsula Alternative High
School, according to an official, and Butlers
lessons fall in line with the schools new
emphasis.
Restorative justice programs are designed to
focus on the needs of mending the relationships
between victims and offenders, by emphasizing
the accountability of both parties, with an eye to
helping improve a broader community.
Butler applies these general principles toward
attempting to reduce recidivism rates among
students who have struggled in traditional education settings, by teaching them how to develop life skills which are applicable in the real
world.
To establish a common ground with his subjects, Butler channels his life experiences into
his lessons, which helps them resonate across
cultural barriers with students from a variety of
different backgrounds.
Butler aims to encourage students to communicate freely, by illustrating that it is acceptable
to be vulnerable in front of peers, he said.
Bettina Graf, an administrator at the school
who heads the restorative justice program, said
the practices such as encouraging students to sit
in a circle and discuss their feelings are
designed to build community throughout the
school.
Butler said the discussion circles can be a
valuable tool in teaching students to work
through awkward emotions of talking publicly

AUSTIN WALSH/DAILY JOURNAL

Eric Butler addresses a crowd of students assembled at Peninsula Alternative High School in
San Bruno during a speech about the value of free and open communication.
about their emotions.
The high school has implemented 15 minutes
of daily restorative justice programming after
lunch, according to Graf, and there is another
50-minute session every Tuesday.
She said the curriculum has successfully resonated throughout the student body, since
becoming a focus of the curriculum.
Students are more open and honest in the
classroom, and they feel have found new ways
to discuss their feelings to each other and the
school staff through the programming, said
Graf. Butler said similar courses have had a profound impact at Bunche Academy, a continuation high school in Oakland where he works.
Since restorative justice programming
became a focus of the curriculum at his school,
he said there have been no fights, suspension
rates dropped precipitously and the amount of
students graduating skyrocketed.
Butler hopes to return to Peninsula to give
further training to staff members on how to
effectively implement more restorative justice
practices, he said.
During the seminar, Butler passed his microphone around the crowd of assembled students
to grant them the opportunity to publicly
address their needs to school staff and administration.
Students were encouraged to keep an open
mind to the unconventional methods of restorative justice education, said Butler, but he also
emphasized the importance of teachers and staff
understanding not every student is going to
want to talk publicly about their emotions on a
regular basis.
Other students said they felt they needed to be
addressed as an adult by the staff at Peninsula,
which would be more conducive toward them
communicating freely.
Butler pressed students to communicate their

concerns to teachers and administrators as much


as possible during the discussion Thursday
because that enhanced the opportunity for transparency.
When you say this in a public forum, you
can hold them accountable, said Butler.
Many of the communication methods he
preaches helped Butler persevere through what
he calls one of his greatest challenges, coping
with the murder of his sister. The lessons he
learned aided him in becoming more compassionate, and understanding the people who
caused him so much pain, so now he is trying to
share the power of those lessons with others.
We are all connected by our stories, he said.
And the way we learn from each other is to tell
our stories.

Firefighters prepare to head out during the Okanogan Complex Fire near Tonasket, Wash.

Firefighters holding their


own against giant wildfire
By Rachel La Corte
and Nicholas K. Geranios
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHELAN, Wash. Firefighters were


holding their own Thursday against the
largest wildfire on record in Washington
state, even as rising temperatures and
increased winds stoked the flames.
The National Weather Service had
issued a red-flag warning earlier in the
day for the fires near Okanogan, saying
weather conditions had the potential to
spread the flames.
All the lines are holding, Bernie
Pineda, spokesman for the 450-squaremile fire, said Thursday afternoon.
He said winds were actually pushing
portions of the giant fire back on itself.
The blazes killed three firefighters last
week and have burned at least 40 homes

and 40 outbuildings.
Heavy smoke that had grounded aircraft lifted a bit and helicopters were
able to drop water on the flames, fire
spokesman Rick Isaacson said.
More than 1,150 square miles of
Washington have burned, nearly the size
of Rhode Island, the state Department of
Natural Resources said.
Gov. Jay Inslee visited firefighters on
the lines.
They know theyre in danger and this
danger is persistent, Inslee said.
Inslee said the fires were more spread
out across the state than last year.
This is not just a local fire, its a
statewide slow-motion disaster, he said.
The governor met with about 20 members of the National Guard fighting a fire
near Lake Chelan. They worked to protect about a half-dozen homes.

Trying to predict what the fire is


going to do is one of the hardest things,
guardsmen Casey Stockwell said.
Homeowner Jake Kneisley, 41, leaned
against a car down a hill from his twostory home. Kneisley said he was up all
night watching the fire near his home.
I feel incredibly lucky these people
are here for us, Kneisley said as firefighters worked nearby.
Elsewhere in the West, people in westcentral Idaho near Riggins have been
told to evacuate due to a wildfire that
expanded to 40 square miles. Nearly 600
firefighters were working to protect
structures along U.S. Highway 95 and
the Salmon River.
In Oregon, a large wildfire near John
Day had increased in size, and firefighters were concerned about explosive
growth.

A 63-year-old San Mateo resident may spend life in prison


after pleading no contest Tuesday to a sex crime against a
small child, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Office.
Steven Hurd pleaded no contest to
felony sexual acts with a child 10 years old
or younger on the second day of a jury
trial, resolving the case before jurors were
chosen, prosecutors said.
The investigation began in early January
2009 when an undercover San Mateo
police officer called Hurds massage busiSteven Hurd ness near the Hillsdale Shopping Center to
make an appointment, prosecutors said.
The officer negotiated a price and set up a one-hour massage
with Hurd, who directed her to meet him at his apartment,
according to prosecutors.
Inside the apartment, the officer undressed and got on the
massage table. During the massage, Hurd said yummy and
oh yeah, prosecutors said.
Two times, Hurd massaged the side of the officers breast
and three times took her hand and moved it across his erect
penis, according to prosecutors.
Police then came to the door and arrested Hurd for sexual
battery, prosecutors said.
Officers searching Hurds cellphone found several photos of
him massaging other women, prosecutors said.
Another video on the phone showed a 2-year-old girl putting
her mouth on Hurds penis three times. Hurd filmed the video
himself and told the girl to do it one more time, prosecutors
said.
Hurd admitted to the acts and admitted they were wrong,
according to prosecutors.
Police also found six photos in his apartment of underage
girls in sexual positions, prosecutors said.
Hurd will have to register as a sex offender for life, according to prosecutors. A judge will impose Hurds sentence Oct.
20, prosecutors said.
The attorney for Hurd, Paul Demeester, was not immediately available for comment.

Trump proposals risk deepening


Republicans rift on immigration
By Julie Pace and Bill Barrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Donald
Trump has exposed anew the deep
rift inside the Republican Party on
immigration, a break between its
past and the countrys future that the
party itself has said it must bridge if
the GOP ever hopes to win back the
White House.
As they headed into the 2016
election, Republicans thought they
had a strategy for moving past their
immigration woes. Outlined in a socalled autopsy of 2012 nominee

Mitt Romneys loss to President


Barack Obama, it called for passing
comprehensive
immigration
reform shorthand for resolving
the status of the estimated 11 million people living in the country
illegally.
Those plans ran aground in the
GOP-controlled House, falling victim to the passionate opposition
among conservatives to anything
they deem amnesty for such
immigrants.
Some Republicans then hoped
candidates with more moderate positions on immigration such as Jeb

Bush, the Spanish-speaking former


Florida governor, or Sen. Marco
Rubio, a Miami native and son of
Cuban parents would rise during
the 2016 campaign and boost the
partys appeal to Hispanic voters.
Instead, its Trump with his
call to deport everyone living in the
U.S. illegally and eliminate
birthright citizenship who has
surged to the top of the summertime
polls, reinforcing the lasting power
of white, conservative voters who
the GOP has courted for decades
and continue to dominate the partys
presidential primaries.

MINNEAPOLIS In ways both


subtle and blunt, Hillary Rodham
Clintons campaign is sending a message to Vice President Joe Biden
about his potential presidential campaign: This wont be easy. While
Clinton and her team speak warmly
of Biden in public, they have taken
steps to make clear how theyve
taken control of the partys establishment in hopes of discouraging the
vice president from entering the race.
The latest came Friday in the most
public of settings: the Democratic
National Committee summer meetings. In a speech to the partys most
committed activists, Clinton cast herself as its standard-bearer and vowed
to win the presidential race and
rebuild the party from the ground up.
We are building something that
will last long after next November,
Clinton told party officials gathered
in a Minneapolis ballroom. Other
candidates may be fighting for a particular ideology, but Im fighting for
you and your families.
The speech came after her team
rolled out a string of high-profile
endorsements in early-voting states
and scheduled an onslaught of
fundraisers across the country in the
effort to ice a Biden bid before he
even gets started.
Behind the scenes, theyre pressuring donors and delegates to pledge

their loyalty to
Clinton.
Her
team sent a slate
of top aides to the
meeting
this
weekend armed
with pledge cards
asking party delegates to commit
to Clinton.

run have later

spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized
to discuss the private conversations.
Even Clinton herself has made a few
calls, they said, to express her disappointment in the defector.
Clinton said the over-arching strategy was based on the lessons she
learned from her last run, attributing
her 2008 primary loss to a failure to
capture enough backing from the
partys important super delegates
the party and elected officials who are
empowered to select the presidential
nominee at the Democratic national
convention, regardless of what happens in the 2016 primaries.

is a risk.
The proposed project involves driving sheet
piles to create a retaining wall along its current
levee, then using fill to reinstate the Bay Trail.
Yet while desperate to meet FEMAs standards,
the City Council last month noted it also wants a
design to which they can easily increase the
height of the wall and account for projections
that the sea could rise 3 feet by the end of the
century.

Executive Director Leslie Hatamiya said the

of forming an endowment with a portion of the
restitution fund, while looking for potential
smaller investment opportunities that can begin
to serve San Bruno residents in a more immediate fashion.
The board must balance the communitys

a new community center or library, against the
benefits of investing the fund, while also recognizing the need to begin spending some of the

Sea level rise has been discussed quite a bit.


This is not just a project for the next few years;
this is a project for a very long time. We need to
be able to adapt and adjust for sea level rise,
Anderson said.
Yet building so close to the Bay is challenging, as numerous regulatory agencies must agree
to the project. By gathering officials early on and
planning regular meetings as well as conference
calls to keep an open dialogue with those
involved, the city is hoping to avoid any future
derailments particularly as FEMA wants to
see progress while providing the city with a
seclusion zoning to prevent homeowners from
being subject to insurance.
Without the project, the entire city would be
pulled into FEMAs Flood Insurance Rate Map
and property owners with federally-backed
mortgages would be mandated to purchase
insurance. Even for those who dont have mortgages, not undertaking the levee project could
impact property values as future buyers would
likely be strapped with costly flood insurance. In
San Mateo, some in the North Shoreview neighborhood have reported rates as high as $8,000 a
year.
We believe this is one of the most important
public works projects in the history of the city,
basically since it was built. It impacts every single residence, it has a significant financial

impact, City Manager Kevin Miller said. We


want you to know that were committed to introducing and developing a process that addresses
issues and listens to people. But were hoping
that this process can be the model process that
people look to.
Financing the project, while not extensively
discussed during Fridays meeting with regulatory agency representatives, will likely involve a
citywide assessment district.
Each property owner businesses and residences alike would contribute through a tax.
Properties will likely be assessed based on their
value, however, what owners will actually pay is
unlikely to be determined until the majority of
the design process is finalized, officials said previously.
Public outreach and ensuring Foster City residents as well as businesses understand the facts
as well as significance of the project is critical,
Miller and Public Works Director Jeff Moneda
said.
While the permitting process is estimated to
take two years alone, public outreach through
meetings as well as mailers and via online is
kicking off. A fact sheet about the project has
been posted to the citys website and outreach
will increase starting in January with workshops
proposed for March, Moneda said.

The city is working with a consultant familiar


with the regulatory permitting process, will consider hiring a financing expert to prepare for the
expensive project and have a dedicated staff
member to answer residents questions.
Those who attended the meeting were pleased
at being consulted early on and expressed a willingness to continue the collaboration.
You can never start too early. And one thing
I learned in the Bay Area, nothing is easy. But on
the flip side of the coin, nothing is impossible,
said Lt. Col. John Morrow, San Francisco district manager with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
While challenging work lies ahead, advocates
for San Mateo County were pleased at the regulatory kickoff meeting.
The one thing that we know in this county, in
San Mateo County, this is a very unique
place. This is a place that gets things done.
When we see a problem, we embrace it, we find
a solution and we work those solutions to success, Hill said. With all of your help, with
every agency involved in this project, we will
see success. Because we know the big one is
coming. We know sea level rise is real, and we
know its affecting our communities.

received the money and we do want to start


moving forward to benefit the city, said
Hatamiya. One of the smaller projects the
money could fund immediately is a memorial
college scholarship which would be awarded to
high school students from San Bruno.
Hatamiya said the scholarship could serve as
a living testament to the eight residents who
died in the blast, as well as the 66 others who
were injured, while helping the future of San
Bruno prosper. It would be a living memorial
that would invest in our youth, said Hatamiya.
No concrete investment decisions were made
at the meeting Monday, Aug. 24, but Hatamiya
said the foundations board is looking to spend
the rest of the year gathering information on
potential projects, with an eye toward allocating
some of the fund as soon as possible.
The board also discussed other potential
smaller investments, such as converting a piece
of a residential property which was donated to
the city on Florida Avenue into a park, contributing to an annual city festival, or offering

small loans to local residents and businesses,


among other proposals, said Hatamiya.
The goal is to begin spending a portion of the
fund in the near future, while developing a
longer term vision of how to properly manage
the majority of the money, she said.
We know we are trying to benefit the community, so we want things that can be accomplished relatively quickly that are visible, said
Hatamiya.
Also during the meeting Monday, Aug. 24,
the foundation board received a presentation
from financial advisor Mark Hayes on what
type of financial gains could be made by investing the fund.
The foundation board is seriously considering
setting aside some of the money and treating it
as an endowment, under which the principal is
preserved and the investment payout is used to
fund programs and operations, said Hatamiya.
Hatamiya said the board will consider those
potential benefits as members look toward
developing a more definite direction of how to

allocate the money. Previous reports to the foundation show large capital projects identified on a
wish list by the community, such as a new
library, swimming pool, community center, fire
station or playing fields accumulate to between
$133 million and $166 million, or more than
double the value of the fund currently.
There is not an abundance of pressure from
the community to begin making decisions on
how to spend a portion of the fund, said
Hatamiya, but a prevailing desire exists to begin
serving San Bruno residents. It is the boards
charge though to invest and spend the money in
the most responsible fashion, which requires an
abundance of deliberate planning, said
Hatamiya.
We want to be thoughtful in the way we do
this, she said.
The fund that the foundation controls is distinct and separate from the $50 million trust
agreement to specifically benefit the Crestmoor
neighborhood, which suffered the brunt of the
blast Sept. 9, 2010.

Despite volatility,
on-air rampage is

Dominica prime minister:


20 dead following Erika
By Carlisle Baptise
and Danica Coto
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican


Republic Tropical Storm Erika began
to lose steam Friday over Haiti and the
Dominican Republic, but it left behind a
trail of destruction that killed at least 20
people on the small eastern Caribbean
island of Dominica, authorities said.
Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt
Skerrit said in a televised address late
Friday that the island has been set back
20 years in the damage inflicted by the
storm.

This is a period of national tragedy,


he said, adding that hundreds of homes,
bridges and roads have been destroyed.
We have, in essence, to rebuild
Dominica.
Tropical Storm Erika dumped 15 inches (38 centimeters) of rain on the mountainous island before it cut Friday into
Haiti and the Dominican Republic,
where it topped trees and power lines.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in
Miami said the system was expected to
move north across the island of
Hispaniola, where the high mountains
would weaken it to a tropical depression
on Saturday and possibly cause it to dissipate entirely.

Theres a chance it could regain some


strength off northern Cuba and people in
Florida should still keep an eye on it and
brace for heavy rain, said John
Cagialosi, a hurricane specialist at the
center. This is a potentially heavy rain
event for a large part of the state, he
said.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a
state of emergency for the entire state,
which could begin seeing the effects of
the system late Sunday and early
Monday and officials urged residents to
prepare by filling vehicle gas tanks,
stockpiling food and water, and determining whether they live in an evacuation zone.

ROANOKE, Va. Living alone in a world of perceived


slights, Vester Lee Flanagan II festered and fumed. His hair-trigger temper directed at a random collection
of people he encountered never seemed to
stray into the type of violent behavior that
would have put him on the radar of police or
mental health professionals.
By not crossing that line, he avoided
doing anything that would have made it illegal for him to purchase the gun he used to
kill two former co-workers on live TV in
Virginia.
Vester
Flanagan, 41, had never been arrested for
Flanagan
a felony and had no criminal record. There
are no records indicating he was ever committed for psychiatric care or had been the subject of a restraining order. Hop-scotching around the country for work, he rarely
stayed anywhere longer than a year and didnt appear to socialize much. The people on the receiving end of his anger shifted
from day to day.
Instead, he left lasting impressions of a man who lashed out
at others for imagined offenses. He lived alone in an apartment
near the TV station that had fired him two years ago, across the
country from his family and California hometown.
How can anyone stop a massacre when no one seems to be
close enough to notice hints of looming violence?
We all wish we could predict human behavior accurately all
the time, said Clint Van Zandt, a former FBI behavioral profiler. The behavior doesnt cross the line until he shows he presents a realistic, immediate threat to himself and others.
Flanagan fatally shot himself while fleeing police and cant
explain why he killed WDBJ-TV reporter Alison Parker, 24,
and 27-year-old cameraman Adam Ward. In a fax to ABC
News, Flanagan wrote that he had been mistreated for being
black and gay, and the tipping point was the shooting that
killed nine black people at a church in Charleston, South
Carolina, in June.

The design software company reported better-than-expected secondquarter earnings, but revenue fell short of forecasts.

Well, that was exciting.


Days after China threw the biggest
scare into Wall Street in years, U.S.
stocks have come surging back and ended
the week Friday on a placid note that suggested the worst may be over for now.
Even so, investors are buckling their
seat belts for more turbulence ahead.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell a
scant 11.76 points Friday, or 0.1 percent,
to 16,643.01, capping a week that saw
stomach-churning losses and gains of
around 600 points per day. The Standard
& Poors 500 index rose 1.21 points, or
0.1 percent, to 1,988.87. The Nasdaq
composite added 15.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,828.32.
U.S. stocks went into their swoon last
week, mostly over signs of a slowdown in
China, the worlds second-biggest economy. Before the six-day losing streak had
ended, the Dow had plummeted 1,900
points and the S&P 500 was undergoing
its first correction, a decline of 10 percent or more, in nearly four years.
But stocks soared at midweek, cutting
the Dows losses nearly in half, in a
rally analysts attributed to bargain-hunting, signs that the Federal Reserve may
hold off raising interest rates this fall,
and a new report that said the U.S. economy is growing at a more robust rate

than previously believed.


Still, the concerns that triggered the
sell-off remain: slumping oil prices, a
slowing Chinese economy, weak corporate earnings forecasts and uncertainty
over interest rates.
That means theres likely to be more
market volatility ahead, something that
history backs up. September has been the
worst month for stocks.
For the last few years, lets face it,
theres been very little volatility, said JJ
Kinahan, TD Ameritrades chief strategist. Weve had a very impressive rally.
Not that we cant go higher, but its not
going to be an easy path to get there.
The S&P 500 is still nearly three times
higher than its post-2008 financial crisis
low in March 2009. The Dow is up
roughly 2 1/2 times higher.
Despite the bounce-back this week,
stocks are on course for their worst
monthly performance in more than three
years. The S&P 500 is down 5.5 percent
in August, and the Dow is down 5.9 percent.
That kind of volatility is pretty scary,
said Hans Chang, 33, who was visiting
New York on Friday. Because he recently
left his job, Chang has to sell investments
he bought with stock options within 90
days something he cant do now without taking a big loss.
But for other investors like James Day,
a data management specialist in Ferndale,

Michigan, the stock market swoon was a


signal to buy low and boost his contributions to his 401(k).
Im not looking to retire tomorrow, so
as far as Im concerned, I have time, said
Day, 43. If I dont think Im staring
down the barrel of some long-term recession or unemployment, I look at these
dips as an opportunity.
Investors can expect the volatility to
continue at least until the market gets a
better idea from the Fed on the timing of
an interest rate increase, something many
investors fear could put a damper on the
U.S. economy.
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman
Stanley Fischer said Friday that before
the recent turbulence, there was a pretty
strong case for raising rates in
September. But he said the Fed is watching how events unfold.
Traders and strategists have often
described the U.S. stock market as overbought. Even with the wild swings this
week, investors are paying close to $18
for every $1 of earnings in the S&P 500
above the $15 investors have historically paid for stocks after World War II.
Its still an expensive market, said
Kevin Dorwin, managing principal of
San Francisco-based Bingham, Osborn &
Scarborough. We still need to see earnings growth or valuations improve, and
absent that, its hard to see how the market can move up.

Fed vice chair in spotlight as markets seek rate hike clues


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON What once seemed a


sure bet that the Federal Reserve would
raise interest rates in September suddenly
appears less certain following a wild week of
stock market turbulence.
The markets ride and how the Fed will react
provide the backdrop for the annual high-profile economic conference in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. Fed Chair Janet Yellen decided to
skip this years meeting, so Vice Chairman
Stanley Fischer is commanding top attention,
with investors eagerly parsing his every word.
Fischers message: Incoming economic data

and market developments


over the next two weeks
will play crucial roles in
determining whether the
Fed raises interest rates at
its September meeting.
In an interview Friday
with CNBC, Fischer
acknowledged that before
Janet Yellen the recent market volatility, there was a pretty
strong case for a rate hike at the Sept. 16-17
meeting, though it wasnt conclusive. Now,
the jury is out because the Fed needs to assess
the economic impact of events in China and on
Wall Street.

Twitter sets modest goals


to diversify its workforce
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Twitter is setting


modest goals to diversify its workforce while
it fights a proposed class-action lawsuit that
says the online messaging service discriminates against its female employees.
The hiring targets were released Friday
along with data showing that Twitter primarily employs white and Asian men in high-paying technology jobs, like most of its industry
peers.

Twitter is aiming to fill 16 percent of its


technology jobs with a woman next year, up
from 13 percent currently. The San Francisco
company also wants women to make up 25
percent of its leadership roles, from 22 percent
now, and is promising to hire more blacks and
Hispanics.
Former Twitter engineer Tina Huang filed a
lawsuit in March attacking the companys
treatment of women. The complaint says
Twitter has a history of bypassing qualified
women for promotions.

But Fischer said Fed officials realize that


they need to act before data requires them to
hike rates to alleviate inflation.
When the case is overwhelming, if you
wait that long, you will be waiting too long,
Fischer said. There is always uncertainty, and
we will just have to recognize that.
Fischer tried to reassure markets, as Yellen
has, that when the Fed begins to raise rates, it
plans to do so very gradually. The Feds key
rate has been at a range of zero to a quarterpoint since late December 2008.
Fischer said the first move would nudge that
up by a quarter-point to a range of 0.25 percent
to 0.5 percent and then pausing to monitor the
impact. He said with that small increase, rates

Apples music service losing


key player as exec resigns
SAN FRANCISCO Apples online music
subscription service is losing a key player as
millions of listeners near the end of a free threemonth trial period that has drawn mixed
reviews. Ian Rogers, part of a team acquired
last year, is leaving Apple to take a job at an
unidentified company in Europe. Apple confirmed Rogers departure Friday without providing additional details.
Apples $3 billion acquisition of Beats last
year was driven in large part by the iPhone
makers desire to draw upon the musical chops
of Rogers, longtime recording executive
Jimmy Iovine and hip hop artist Dr. Dre. Both
Iovine and Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre

will still be historically low, continuing to provide support to consumer and business borrowers.
We will be adjusting the knob slightly, he
said.
Fischer said his confidence is pretty high
that low levels of inflation will head toward
the Feds target of 2 percent as temporary
effects from a big drop in energy prices fade.
A government report Friday showed that the
Feds preferred measure of inflation is up just
1.2 percent over the past 12 months. It has
been below 2 percent for the past three years.
Fischer will deliver more comments on
inflation in a formal speech to the conference
on Saturday.

Menlo has talent, Bears return to Bay


just not a lot of it with experienced lot
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Since Mark Newton took over the Menlo


School football program in 2004, the
Knights have consistently been one of the
better teams in the Peninsula Athletic
League.
Last year, however, the Knights took a
small step backward. Their 4-6 overall
record and 1-4 in the Bay Division was
Newtons first losing season as Menlo
coach. Having only one Bay Division win
in 2014 means the Knights are back in the
Ocean Division for the first time since 2012

not that it means things get easier for the


Knights.
Menlo should always be an Ocean team,
Newton said, citing his teams perennially
small rosters. Its not quite the Bay, but
[the Ocean] is still a tough league. The
Ocean has been pretty darn good the last
couple of years.
Making things even tougher for Menlo
this season is not only is it breaking in a
new starting quarterback, Newton has the
smallest roster hes ever had. He said he has
about 29 players on the roster, but only

Two weeks prior to the beginning of the

Bears first-year head coach Adhir Ravipati
was dealt his first personnel crisis.
Ravipati who returns to MenloAtherton as the man in charge after serving
as a varsity assistant coach from 2011-13
was informed last seasons starting quarterback Robby Beardsley would not return
to M-A after transferring to Oceanside High
School in San Diego. Fortunately for

Ravipati, the QB position becomes one of


the few skill positions he is tasked with
replacing from last year.
We had eight sophomores that were up on
the varsity team last year, Ravipati said.
It was a very young team. Its still going to
be young but the lessons learned have
helped motivate the kids and I think
weve grown up.
In the wake of Beardsleys departure, M-A
is holding a classic quarterback competition
for the varsity job. But with the junior running back tandem of Jordan Mims and

Ohio football team gets live tiger mascot for season opener
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MASSILLON, Ohio A high school football team that has had a live tiger cub at
games for decades started the season with its
traditional mascot on hand, even though the
district hasnt proved to the state that the
mascots display would meet stricter rules for
possessing exotic animals.

cage across the end zone before kickoff, The


(Massillon) Independent reported. Club president Matt Keller wouldnt say where the animal came from, who paid for its appearance or
whether it was a donation, and he told the
newspaper it would be premature to assume

the tiger will be at future games.


Its one tradition we were able to continue,
even if just for one game, Keller said.
Boosters typically lease a cub called Obie
each year as the mascot, and a limited exemption for the school was included when Ohio

tightened regulations on ownership of exotic


animals. That law was enacted after a suicidal
man released dozens of bears, tigers and other
creatures that authorities ended up killing out
of fear for public safety.
The school was asked to attest that the
Massillon cubs wouldnt have contact with
the public, would live at an accredited facility
when theyve outgrown their job as mascots
and would be cared for throughout their lives.

Tomlinson stars again as Giants down Cards D-Backs rally late


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Rookie Kelby


Tomlinson has been called upon out of necessity for the injury-plagued Giants, and he
keeps delivering. Veteran Marlon Byrd has
been called upon for big moments like this
down the stretch, and is doing his part since
coming to San Francisco this month in a trade
from the Cincinnati Reds.
Tomlinson lined a bases-loaded single up
the middle with one out in the ninth against
previously unbeaten Kevin Siegrist, and the
Giants topped the Cardinals 5-4 on Friday
night to snap St. Louis five-game winning
streak.
He just seems comfortable here, Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said. Hes hit everywhere hes gone, Double-A, Triple-A and hes
continuing to do that.
Left fielder Brandon Moss grabbed another
glove from the dugout and moved in to make a
five-man infield, then Tomlinson found a hole
against Siegrist (5-1).
Byrd hit a grand slam off 15-game winner
Michael Wacha in the third inning for the

MLS brief

Giants, who kept pace 2 12 games behind NL Westleading Los Angeles.


Javier Lopez (1-0) got
Moss to line out to second
in

ninth
and
Tomlinson quickly fired to
first to double up Stephen
Piscotty, who was off the
bag.

Byrds eighth career
Tomlinson
grand slam gave the
Giants eight for the season, a franchise record.
Byrd last hit one on July 9, 2013, while with
the Mets facing the Giants at AT&T Park.
The scoreboard went out for about four minutes and the ballpark lights briefly flickered
twice.
Byrd, previously 0 for 17 against Wacha,
sent the first pitch he saw in the third over the
wall in center field moments after Buster
Posey was hit on the left elbow to load the
bases against the team with baseballs best
record.
Wacha surrendered an even more memorable
shot more than 10 months ago.
Travis Ishikawas improbable walkoff

three-run homer clinched the NL pennant for


the Giants with a 6-3 Game 5 win against the
Cardinals in the NLCS at AT&T Park last
October.
Mike Leake retired the first nine batters in
order but is still missing his first win after
three starts since joining the Giants in a trade
from Cincinnati on July 30.
Josh Osich relieved Leake with runners on
first and second and one out in the seventh,
then retired pinch-hitter Jason Heyward and
Matt Carpenter.
Cardinals rookie Piscotty, who played at
Stanford and grew up in nearby Pleasanton,
hit a two-run double in the fourth as St. Louis
pulled back within 4-3. The right fielder
robbed Matt Duffy in the sixth with a diving
catch that took him over the bullpen mound.
The Cardinals tied it on Leakes wild pitch
in the top of the sixth.
St. Louis, which turned nine double plays in
its recent four-game sweep at Arizona, committed two errors in the Giants big third that
made all four runs unearned.

Giants lineup after missing two games with a
left hip strain.

Mariners fire GM Jack Zduriencik

Earthquakes win fourth straight

By Tim Booth

SAN JOSE Shea Salinas scored on a header in the first half and the Earthquakes beat the
10-man Galaxy 1-0 in the California Clasico
Friday for their fourth straight victory.
David Bingham recorded his fourth clean
sheet in a row.
Salinas got his third goal of the season in
the 18th minute for San Jose (11-10-5).
Quincy Amarikwa headed a cross that was
blocked by goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts,
but Salinas pounced on the rebound for an
easy finish.
Chris Wondolowski had a header hit off
the post in the 38th. He collided with A.J.
DeLaGarza on the play and left the game
briefly.

SEATTLE The Seattle Mariners fired general manager Jack Zduriencik on Friday after
seven disappointing seasons during which
the club failed to end its playoff drought.
Team President Kevin Mather announced
the decision to fire Zduriencik, with assistant general manager Jeff Kingston taking
over on an interim basis. Kingston joined
the Mariners front office in 2009 after
spending seven years as the director of
baseball operations with San Diego.
We have reached the point when change
of leadership of our baseball operations is
needed for the Seattle Mariners to reach our

goal of winning championships, Mather


said in a statement. We are very disappointed with the results this season, and are
not satisfied with the current operation. The
search for a permanent general manager will
begin immediately, and while there is no
deadline, we expect to have a new GM in
place as soon as practical.
Zduriencik came to Seattle before the
2009 season, arriving from Milwaukee as
one of the top talent evaluators in baseball
and with the task of rebuilding a thin farm
system while putting a winning product on
the field at the major league level.
But Seattle missed too often both in player development through the draft and in free
agency under Zdurienciks watch.

double produced the go-ahead run in the seventh inning off Oakland ace Sonny Gray,
Paul Goldschmidt homered and the Arizona
Diamondbacks rallied for a 6-4 victory over
the Athletics on Friday night.
Hill drove in Chris Owings, who led off
the inning with a double, to put the
Diamondbacks in front 3-2. The As, ahead
2-0 until the sixth, lost their third straight
and are 4-12 over their last 16 games.
Goldschmidt crushed an offering from
switch-pitcher Pat Venditte for a two-run
homer in the seventh as Arizona scored four
runs in the inning.
Gray (12-6) lasted 6 1/3 innings and
allowed four runs, two earned, with five
strikeouts and two walks. He had been 8-2
on the road this season before Friday.
Randall Delgado (5-3) pitched one inning
of scoreless relief for the win.
Oakland took a 2-0 lead on doubles by
Marcus Semien and Mark Canha sandwiching
Billy Burns run-scoring single. Burns and
Canha drove in a run each with two outs against
Diamondbacks starter Chase Anderson.
Anderson, however, settled down and left
with a no-decision after six innings, allowing
five hits, striking out three and walking one.
The Diamondbacks didnt score until the
sixth, as two passed balls by catcher
Stephen Vogt helped put runners on the corners with one out. Then David Peralta laced
a double into right field to drive in Inciarte,
and with runners at second and third,
Welington Castillos sacrifice fly drove in
Goldschmidt to tie the score at 2.

Raiders still seeking to identify backup RB


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA With a starting running back


that hasnt had more than 100 carries in a season since entering the NFL, the Oakland
Raiders know they will likely have to count on
some of their backups to generate a consistent
running game this season.
The race to be Latavius Murrays backup
remains wide open heading into the third exhibition game Sunday against Arizona, with no
one able to seize the job either because of
injuries or ineffectiveness.
Trent Richardson and Roy Helu Jr. were
signed in the offseason to fill that role. But
Richardson is averaging just 2.3 yards per
carry and lacks the burst that made him the
third overall pick in the 2012 draft. Helu finally returned to practice this week after missing
more than three weeks with an injury.
That has helped open the door for undrafted
free agent Michael Dyer to make his case for
the job. After struggling in the preseason
opener, Dyer ran for 45 yards on 12 carries last

49ers in turmoil as they face Broncos


Peyton Manning hasnt had his pair of Pro
Bowl receivers on the field with him since the
playoffs. Emmanuel Sanders (hamstring) is
sitting this one out and Demaryius Thomas is
still working his way into football shape
after missing the entire offseason program in
a contract dispute. In his debut last week,
Mannings four drives all ended in punts
thanks to drops and flags.
Ronnie Hillman loves Denvers new zone
blocking scheme. He leads the league with a

week in Minnesota.
I feel like I got my confidence up because I was
able to get into a rhythm
and up to game speed,
Dyer said. Going from the
first game to second game
you try to build confidence
and get the offense down.
Michael Dyer By the third game you
should be able to have control of the game and play hard and fast.
Its been quite a road for Dyer, a freshman
star at Auburn who helped the Tigers win the
2010 national championship game by rushing
for 143 yards in the title game against Oregon
to the NFL.
Dyer had a pair of 1,000-yard seasons at
Auburn before being suspended for the bowl
game his sophomore year and then transferring to Arkansas State. He got dismissed from
the team before ever playing at Arkansas State.
Dyer earned his associate degree at Arkansas
Baptist College before playing his final two
years at Louisville, where he rushed for 704

yards in 17 games. Dyer was not drafted and


didnt earn an NFL contract until after impressing the Raiders enough on a tryout at rookie
minicamp in May.
He runs hard and is very determined, coach
Jack Del Rio said. He has a little juice to him.
He is showing up, making people miss and
accelerating through some tackles and doing a
pretty good job. He has come an awful long
way from when he first came in here in the
spring as a late addition.
Richardson had a much easier entrance into
the NFL after starring at Alabama, but is with
his third team in four years and could be running out of time after already being traded by
Cleveland and cut by Indianapolis.
Richardson has gotten most of the secondteam work so far. He is far from assured of staying in that role once the season begins.
Hes got to earn it, Del Rio said. Hes got
to be good enough as a backup. Weve got to
see some of the explosiveness that he had
when he was a young man playing for the
Crimson Tide there. Hes got to have a role on
special teams and hes got to be able to help us

win on Sundays. Thats the challenge for him


right now.
Despite missing most of training camp,
Helu figures to have a role because of his skill
as a third-down back able to pick up blitzes and
make big plays as a receiver out of the backfield.
Helu has 129 catches in 48 career games and
was tied for fourth in the league among all running backs with 31 third-down catches the
past two seasons. He hopes for a bigger role in
Oakland, but knows Murray will be the lead
back.
I think most everybodys desire as a running back is to get involved with a rhythm
because thats such a big part of the position,
he said. At the same time, my last couple of
years Ive been in the NFL I was designated in
that role. Whatever role Im playing and whatever that looks like Ill do my best at it.
The wild card at the position is Taiwan
Jones, who brings electrifying speed to the
position after spending the past two seasons
at cornerback. Jones has rushed for 27 yards on
five carries in two preseason games.

IndyCar drivers find comfort in getting back to work


By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA IndyCar drivers got back to


work Friday, climbing into their cars as a distraction albeit a temporary one from their
grief over Justin Wilsons death.
Wilson died Monday of a head injury suffered
a day earlier when he was stuck by debris from
another car at Pocono Raceway. The 37-yearold British driver left behind a wife and two
young daughters.
The loss of one of the most popular drivers
in the paddock has been difficult for his peers,
but many said Wilson would have wanted
Sundays season finale at Sonoma Raceway to
go on.
People dont realize for us, weve been
doing this a long time. Its our most comfortable position, said three-time Indianapolis
500 winner Helio Castroneves. Weve still
got to remember its racing. There is the unfortunate danger factor of it. I do feel its the best
place ever where Im in control, that I feel I can
do whatever I want. Thats why its the best
way to be here today.

Castroneves is one of six drivers in mathematical contention for the championship,


although Team Penske teammate Juan Pablo
Montoya has the title within his reach.
Montoya takes a 34-point lead over Graham
Rahal into the race, which is worth double
points.
Even if Rahal wins, Montoya only has to
finish third to deny the American his first
major championship.
Although the championship contenders tried
Friday to put the focus on the title race,
Wilsons death hung heavy on the paddock.
Decals honoring Wilson have been distributed to teams to place on the cars, and T-Shirts
were creating with the same logo with 100 percent of the sales proceeds going to a fund for
Wilsons daughters.
Both Honda and Firestone have made resultsbased pledges for the weekend, with a combined $95,000 potentially going to the fund.
Oriol Servia will drive Wilsons car at his
familys request in Sundays season finale at
Sonoma Raceway. The family initially wanted
NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger, one of
Wilsons closest friends and a former team-

thing would happen to me. I dont want anyone


to slow down. Keep doing your thing, enjoy it,
love it. I think racers all feel like that universally. Its the best medicine.
The series is still confronted with questions
about safety, though, particularly in a season
that has been marred with various accidents.
Three cars went airborne in the preparation for
the Indianapolis 500, James Hinchcliffe suffered a life-threatening injury in his own crash
at Indy, and Ryan Briscoe went airborne during
the race at California that drivers complained
was too dangerous.
Now the series is being questioned about the
safety of open cockpits following Wilsons
death.
Its something obviously that needs to be
looked at, reigning champion Will Power
said. I dont know whether a closed cockpit
would ever be possible. I think its the last big
step in safety for open-wheel racing, what do
you do with an exposed head?
But Montoya insisted most drivers feel safe
in a race car, and that the probability of getting
hurt is far lower than an incident occurring on
their drive home.

Allmendinger passed.
I have known and raced Justin for more than
10 years, said Servia. I have an enormous
amount of respect for him as a racer, but his
qualities as a human were definitely an inspiration to anyone who ever met him.
I truly feel he was one of those souls who
has evolved a lot more than the rest of us. He
will be greatly missed.
The drivers will do their best to honor
Wilsons memory, and the return to the track
was cathartic in their healing process. The last
fatality was Dan Wheldon in the 2011 season
finale, and the drivers had nothing but idle time
on their hands to mourn the two-time
Indianapolis 500 winner.

on the line, was exactly what most of them n

EDISON, N.J. Jordan Spieth lost out on a


chance to play the weekend at The Barclays.
He also lost his No. 1 ranking.
Bubba Watson, momentarily distracted by a
rare warning for taking too long to play a
shot, recovered with a birdie on the 18th hole
at Plainfield Country Club for a 2-under 68 and
a one-shot lead going into the weekend at the
opening FedEx Cup playoff event.
On an otherwise sleepy afternoon at a course
where no one could get some separation, two
peculiar moments stood out a bad time for
Watson, bad golf from Spieth.
Trying to rally to make the cut, Spieth hit
into a hazard on the 12th hole, and a bogey
later became a double bogey when he was
penalized one shot for stepping on his ball
during the search. He had a 73, the first time
since the Tour Championship last year that he
had consecutive rounds over par.
He missed the cut by five shots. That means
Rory McIlroy, who isnt playing this week,
returns to No. 1.
Ive reached that peak already and I know
its going to be close enough to where if I just
get the job done next week, Ill be back in that
ranking, Spieth said. But again, that rank-

ing, its great once you reach it but its not


something that Im going to live or die on
each week.
McIlroy becomes the 14th player since the
world ranking began in 1986 to get to No. 1
without playing that week.
Watson is in good shape through 36 holes
to claim his own No. 1 ranking a victory
would move him to the top of the FedEx Cup.
Much like the world ranking right now, that
figures to change by the week.
Ultimately, what matters to Watson, Spieth
and others is winning the Tour Championship
to capture the $10 million bonus.
Halfway through this event, no telling what
else will happen over the next two days.
PGA Tour rookie Justin Thomas had a few
late bogeys for a 69 and shrugged when asked
if he was happy with his score. He was seven
shots back.
This is a course where if you make the cut,
you have a chance to win, Thomas said.
Watson was at 7-under 133.
British Open champion Zach Johnson made
five birdies to go with four par-saving putts
from outside 8 feet for a 65. He was one shot
out of the lead, along with Henrik Stenson
(66), Tony Finau (69) and Jason Dufner (68).

Menlo-Atherton Bears

Continued from page 11


Stavro Papadakis, the quarterback position
may be incidental.
Stavro Papadakis and Jordan Mims are just
a really dynamic backfield, Ravipati said. I
think those two guys are going to have a huge
year for us and then you think about it, we
still have those guys for another year.
The Bears finished at the bottom of the pack
of the stacked Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division last season posting a 1-4 league
record and tying for last place with Menlo and
Sequoia but still managed to qualify for the
Central Coast Section playoffs by virtue of an
at-large bid.
Papadakis and Mims were a big reason for
the relative success. As sophomores, they finished 1-2 in the team rushing lead. Papadakis
grinded out a team-best 562 yards on 120 carries. It took Mims just six games to nearly
match his counterpart though, gaining 559
yards on 91 carries over just six games.
Mims may be tasked with a brunt of the
backfield responsibilities if Papadakis
emerges as the starting quarterback. He is
competing with Beardsleys backup from last
season, senior Ben Spindt. But the competition may be a short-term proposition, as
sophomore Miles Conrad a transfer from
St. Francis will be activated in Week 5 after
sitting out the nonleague schedule as per CCS
transfer rules.
Senior wide receivers Ben Stanley and
Justin Friedsam also lend experience to the MA offense. A third senior, last years receiving
leader Chase DelRosso, is still a question
mark this season. But Stanley was a staple of
the passing game in 2014, ranking second in
the squad with 238 yards on 22 catches.
[Stanley and Friedsam] are smart, theyre
physical and they have big-play ability on
the offensive side of the ball, Ravipati said.
M-As mix of experience carries over to the
offensive line as well. Senior Bryce Rodgers,
who is verbally committed to UC Davis as a
defensive lineman, will play both sides of the
line as an offensive tackle/defensive end.
Hes obviously a very physical player and
hes smart, Ravipati said. I think he represents everything our program stands for, so
were excited about him.
Rodgers was also the only non-senior in the
league to earn All-PAL Bay Division honors as
a defensive lineman last season. But this year,
a mighty foursome of junior linebackers could
change that trend. Papadakis, J.P Gray and
Chrystopher Echeverria all started as varsity
sophomores last year. Incoming junior Bryan
Kang rounds out the linebacker corps of the
base 4-4 defense.
Were really excited about that group,
Ravipati said.

HOME GAMES IN CAPS
New defensive coordinator Drew Ryan has
plenty of other weapons. Previously the
Bears defensive backs coach since 2010,
Ryan has a barrage of track stars to round out
the secondary. First-year junior Marquise Reid
is an early favorite to claim one of the safety
positions. A qualifier for the CCS track and
field finals as a sophomore last year, Reid
brings more than mere dashing speed to the
Bears defense.
Hes a track guy but hes physical,
Ravipati said. If he gets you out in the middle, hell pop you. So we love that about
him.
On special teams, M-A should have a rangy
field-goal option with place kicker Dylan
Calderon. Ravipati said the senior is regularly
booming 40-yard field goals in practice. And
the returner is now under the guidance of new
assistant coach Vince Damato, a former kicker at Cal.
[Calderon] is honestly one of the hardest
workers on our team, Ravipati said.
Just to add a bit more experience to the mix,
Ravipati not only started his M-A coaching
career in 2010 he was the frosh-soph head
coach for one year before moving up to varsity as an assistant he has also served as
assistant coach of the M-A boys basketball
team for the past two years.
This year marks his first year as a varsity
head coach.
Im pretty excited about it, Ravipati
said. I think Ive had a chance to play for
some really good coaches, and coach alongside some good coaches. So, I think Im
ready for it.

Illinois fires coach Tim Beckman


one week before season opener
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. A week before the
start of the football season, a difficult summer for the University of Illinois became
chaotic as coach Tim Beckman was fired
after an investigation found he tried to influence medical decisions and pressure players
to play with injuries.
Beckmans firing follows the unexpected resignations this month of the top two officials
on campus, revelations that theyd used private
emails accounts to avoid public scrutiny of

about 26 available players. A number of guys will playing both ways,
which never bodes well on the
injury front.
I just hope we have the same roster lined up on the sideline once
league starts that we start with at the
beginning of the season, Newton
said.
Despite a lack of numbers, the
Knights still have a number of
players who Newton expects to
help lead the team to success this
season. Senior Charlie Roth may be
the most important player on the
roster. A three-year varsity player,
Roth plays on both sides of the ball
as a running back and defensive
end. He was the Knights leading
ground gainer last season rushing
for 644 yards and scoring five
touchdowns on the ground. He had
four 100-plus yards games last season and averaged 6.1 yards a carry.
Hes a great high school football
player. He can catch the ball, he can
block, he can run, Newton said of
the 6-1, 205-pound Roth.
Other running backs who figure
in the Knights rotation are junior
Charlie Ferguson and sophomore
Robert Lopez one of three or four
sophomores Newton plans to carry
this season.
Ferguson will also be counted on
to man a linebacker spot, while
Lopez will see time at safety.
Depsite his offensive prowess,
Roth may be even more important
on the defensive side of the ball.
Were hoping he can be one of
the best defensive ends weve ever
had, Newton said.

Newtons biggest problem, however, is finding a rotation at nearly


every position. Because many will
be playing both ways, he has to
guard against tiring them out
especially on defense.
The defense looks good,
Newton said. Its just a matter of us
putting together an offensive line,
and rotating receivers and running
backs to keep them fresh.
Senior John Guiragossian is the
only returning starter on the offensive line. Carson Gampell, another
senior and a standout on the Menlo
baseball team, is back after not
playing football last season.

[The offensive line is] coming


together, Newton said. Its definitely been a work in progress.
As anyone who follows Menlo
football knows, the key to the
offense is the quarterback and
receiving corps in Newtons runand-shoot offense. This year, the
Knights will be starting their third
quarterback in three years in senior
Mackenzie Morehead. He was the
presumptive backup to Austin
DAmbra last season, but missed
the entire year with a broken wrist.
He would have seen (playing)
time last year, Newton said.
Morehead, however, is on the
opposite spectrum of the lithe
DAmbra. Morehead is listed at 6-6,
210 pounds.
Hes a big pocket passer. Hes a
pretty good basketball player so he
has decent feet, Newton said. He
just needs to get live reps to see
what he can do. He did well this
summer. He did well in 7-on-7
(passing camps) and has done well
so far in practice. Its going to be a
quick learning curve. Hes up to the
task, for sure.
In addition to breaking in a new
quarterback, Newton will also be
looking for a new group of
receivers. The Knights lost 2,160
yards and 21 receiving touchdowns
to graduation. Roth is the leading
returning receiver, while RJ
Barbiera and Antonio Lopez, both
seniors, are the only two returning
receivers who saw any kind of
action last season. Jack McNally,
Jared Lucian and sophomore Aidan
Israelski add to the receiving depth.
We have several wide receivers,
its just a matter of finding the right
combination, Newton said. Were
trying to isolate routes that best utilize their body types.

College at
COSMOS
By Cindy Zhang

t has been four weeks since I came


back home from my month-long stay at
the University of California at Davis,
where I spent what was perhaps the best
summer of my 16 years. I realize that I have,
in a sense, gained a genuine taste for what
college has in store for me. When I first landed on the sprawling college campus to attend the
California State Summer
School for Mathematics
and Science (COSMOS), I
was not sure what to
expect all I knew for
certain was that being
away from home for four
weeks would test my ability to function independently (and my ability to withstand the unforgiving, 100 degree Central Valley weather).
When I first arrived at my dorm, the door
was already ajar and the sound of unfamiliar
voices floated through the air, assuring me
that I was the last person to show up
exactly what I had hoped would not happen.
Luckily for me though, all of my roommates
turned out to be welcoming, friendly souls.
Over the somehow not long enough four
weeks, they became part of my family and
the last day of camp, where goodbyes were
inevitable, was memorialized with our tears.
Over the course of my month at COSMOS,
I got the chance to experience the freedom
that college life brings. Instead of relying on
my parents to drive me here and there, I
biked wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted
(most of the time at least), and the feeling of
being independent was exhilarating in a completely new way. Instead of eating whatever
my parents had decided to cook for dinner or
whatever was the easiest to whip up for
breakfast, I was allowed to choose from a
wide array of cuisines at the dining commons, sharing food and laughs with roommates and other friends.
That doesnt mean that there werent any
drawbacks to college life though. After all, as
the saying goes, with great freedom comes
great responsibility. And I will admit that

We Are Your Friends is an


entertaining musical romp
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Part electronic dance music


tutorial and part love letter to
Los Angeles San Fernando
Valley, We Are Your
Friends is a surprisingly
accessible and sweet story of a
group of friends standing on
the cusp of adulthood with big
ambition and little direction.
Regardless of your taste for
pulsing electronic music or
actor Zac Efron, both are
undeniably appealing in this
feature debut from director

and co-writer Max Joseph.


Though the plot may be predictable, Joseph energizes his
coming-of-age
musical
romance with creative animation, explosive dance scenes
and a vibrant soundtrack thats
like an entree to the EDM
genre. And Efron brings such
heart to the main character,
hes easy to root for.
For Cole (Efron) and his
buddies, the glittery promise
of Hollywood is so close, they
can practically see it from
their hometown 10 miles
away in the Valleys suburban

sprawl. Cole is an aspiring DJ,


and his three childhood
friends are his associates and
entourage. Theres his best
friend and would-be manager,
Mason (Jonny Weston), drug
dealer and acting hopeful
Ollie (Shiloh Fernandez), and
the requisite quiet, sensitive
guy, Squirrel (Alex Shaffer).
All of them dream of escaping
the Valley and finding success
over the hill.

And although it was tempting to go shopping downtown or go eat out, living with a
budget at COSMOS made me realize that
perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects
of college is the fact that most students are in
debt, meaning that they have to set and
stick to a reasonable budget.
But by the time COSMOS came to a close
and those four weeks flew by much too
quickly, I had already realized that I would
miss my college experience much more than

I had previously thought possible. After

Washington for several weeks, said
Healy, who also oversees the Belmont
and Foster City fire districts.
Local firefighters from San Mateo,
Colma Fire Protection District and
Pacificas North County Fire Authority,
were given just hours notice last weekend before packing up and making their
way to Washington. These particular
agencies have contracts with Californias
OES in which the local departments
house a state-supplied fire engine and,
when called upon, agree to staff it with
their own personnel.
As of Monday, 12 local firefighters
arrived at the Okanogan Complex, where
a group of raging wildfire has burned
more than 250,000 acres just south of the
Canadian border.
This year to date, a total of 3,382 fires
have burned in Oregon and Washington
with 93 of those categorized as large
fires. Currently, more than 10,900 firefighters in the region are battling 11 large
blazes, according to the Associated
Press.
While drought-parched California has
had its fair share of battles this season,
none have come close to reaching the
size of those in Okanogan County,
Washington. For example, the Rocky
Fire in Lake County, where several San
Mateo County firefighters were sent earlier this month, burned nearly 70,000
acres and destroyed at least 43 residences, according to Cal Fire.
Earlier this month, nearly 90 firefighters along with more than 15 engines
were dispatched across Northern
California to help combat the raging
wildfires fueled by years of minimal
rainfall.
Now, the three OES engines staffed by
Pacifica, Colma and San Mateo firefighters are contributing to a strike team a
unit comprised of five engines each
staffed with four personnel as well as one
or two chiefs in a separate vehicle.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
four strike teams two comprised of
Cal Fire teams and two from OES
were sent to Washington. Joining San
Mateo County firefighters are those from
the neighboring Santa Clara County Fire
Department, East Bay Regional Park
District Fire Department and several others from across the state.
OES may have chosen San Mateo
County because more urban settings,
such as along the Peninsula, have lower
risk of wildfires and often can more easily call upon fire resources from neighboring jurisdictions, Healy said.
Wildfires are, Healy said, not as common here. And since were so dense,
when fires do break out here, were usually able to put a lot of resources on them
right away and keep them small. They
dont have long travel times where the
fires getting a head start. All the fires in
the northern, more remote part of the
state, sometimes it takes four or five
hours just to get to the fire.
Contending with these massive wildfires is not only dangerous, its extremely costly. Even after the flames are extinguished, personnel must often stick
around to clean up or restore habitats.
Many of the recent fires have each been
estimated to cost tens of millions of dollars between personnel costs and damages, according to Cal Fire. Funding a
strike team alone can cost upward of
$20,000 to $30,000 a day, Healy noted.
These events are very significant and
big and take a lot of resources and a lot
of people with different specialties from
beginning to end, Healy said.
The state reimburses jurisdictions for
their staffing costs and if someone is
pulled from duty, another is quickly sent
to replace them to ensure there isnt a gap
in service to the local community, Healy
said.
Assisting others in their time of need is
a vital component of the profession and
reciprocity is key.
We understand the devastating
impacts of wildfires here in California
and our hearts go out to the residents and
first responders on the front lines in
Washington, Mark Ghilarducci, director
of the states OES, said in a press release.

Our mutual aid system is built upon the


concept of neighbor helping neighbor,
and this is another great example of helping our neighbors in a time of dire need.
The state of Washington aided
California in 2008 when there were more
than 2,000 fires burning simultaneously,
according to Cal Fire Director Chief Ken
Pimlott. Currently, California is also
receiving assistance from departments in
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico,
according to Cal Fire.
During wildfires on federal land,
which is overseen by the U.S. Forest
Service, various out-of-state or county
agencies assist as well.
San Mateos OES engine had little rest
as it returned from working an incident
in Humboldt County just days before
being sent to Washington with another
team of local firefighters.
The county has seen the benefit of the
states mutual aid system, most poignantly during the San Bruno explosion and
fire in 2010.
Worldwide, people try to model
Californias system. Because its very
effective, we can move a lot of resources
to handle numerous incidents at the same
time. So our state mutual aid system is
pretty much second to none, Healy said.
While forecasted rain over the weekend was anticipated to help slow the fires
in Washingtons Okanogan Complex,
local crews are there pulling 12-hour
shifts helping to either protect buildings,
lay line or ensuring intentionally lit
backfires were spreading as planned,
Healy said.
Literally given just a few hours notice
before packing up and hitting the road,
Healy said firefighters frequently sign up
for these types of missions.
Its challenging and exciting and its
part of the adrenaline rush that a lot of
them are in the profession for, Healy
said. Plus, its very rewarding because
they always go out and eventually,
theyre successful. Its bringing that back
that theyve helped people in their
highest time of need.

farmer. Hes terrific in all these roles.


Directed by Dragons founder and
artistic director, Meredith Hagedorn, this
production starts slowly as Daveys relative, Poppy, tells a story. His narrative is
often interrupted by Daveys highpitched giggles, which become off-putting because theyre repeated so often.
The pace gradually picks up during
the first act, and the second act, which
takes place mainly in 1923, becomes
more rewarding and satisfying.
Aside from his early scenes with
Poppy, Campbell makes a likable
Davey, whose life is forever altered
through his adventures with Frankie.
For her part, Marquis is convincing as
the blind Frankie, making her a strong,

resolute character.
This three-actor play is well suited to
Dragons intimate space. The simple set
by Jesse Ploog, lighting by Jeff Swan,
costumes by Brooke Jennings and sound
by Martyn Jones facilitate the action.
Mostly its the skill of the playwright
and the talent of the actors that fill in the
details of time and place.
The Voice of the Prairie runs just
under two and a half hours with one
intermission.
It continues through Sept. 13 at
Dragon Theatre, 2120 Broadway,
Redwood City. For tickets and information call (650) 493-2006 or visit

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE


NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the San Bruno City Council held a public meeting on Tuesday,
August 25, 2015 at 7:00 P.M. at the San Bruno Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San
Bruno, CA, took action on the following item:
Waive Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance Adding Chapter 11.34 to the San Bruno Municipal
Code Relating to Expedited Permitting Procedures for Small Residential Rooftop Solar Systems.
The ordinance will go into effect 30 days after adoption.
On July 28, 2015, the City Council held a public hearing, waived the first reading and introduced
the subject ordinance. The ordinance is designed to implement an expedited permitting process
for small residential rooftop solar photovoltaic and thermal systems as required by State law (AB
2188). The proposed expedited permitting process includes application forms, a review process
and inspection procedure; provides a checklist for expedited plan review, which will be posted on
the Citys website; offer same-day over the counter plan reviews; and reduce field inspections to
one inspection, including scheduling an inspection within 24 hours of request.

Please call Mark Sullivan at (650) 616-7053, or email at msullivan@sanbruno.ca.gov with any
questions. A full copy of the ordinance is available during business hours in the City Clerk's Office, 567 El Camino, San Bruno, Ca 94066 (650) 616-7058, or on the City's website at:
http://www.sanbruno.ca.gov in the 2015 agenda packets, from City Council meetings.

San Bruno City Clerk

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, September 8,
2015 at 7:00 P.M. at its regular meeting, at the Senior Center,
located at 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, the San
Bruno City Council will hold a Public Hearing to take action on
the following item:
Hold Public Hearing and Adopt Resolutions 1) Certifying the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the U.S.
Navy Site And Its Environs Specific Plan Amendment, and
Adopting Environmental Findings and a Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program, and 2) Approving an Amendment to
the U.S. Navy Site and Its Environs Specific Plan Related to
The Crossing Hotel Site.
The Specific Plan Amendment proposes to reduce the size of a
hotel that would be allowed on the 1.5-acre hotel site within
The Crossing, adjacent to the El Camino Real/I-380 interchange. It is the last undeveloped site within The Crossing.
The build out of The Crossing has resulted in a smaller development site, which can now reasonably accommodate a hotel
of up to 152 rooms with underground parking. The City has
prepared a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report which
determined that, with implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, all potential impacts would be reduced to a
less-than-significant level. The current action would not approve a specific development project, and any proposal to build
a hotel would be required to follow the Citys normal planning
approval process.
All interested persons are invited to attend. Project documentation is available for public review on the Citys website
(http://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/comdev_planningMain.html) and
at City Hall, 567 El Camino Real, San Bruno, during regular
business hours. Please call Mark Sullivan at (650) 616-7053,
or email at msullivan@sanbruno.ca.gov with any questions.

Lebanon: Shiny on
the outside, rotting
from the inside out
By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT To the casual visitor,


Lebanon may seem like a tiny slice
of Mediterranean modernity and
coexistence in a turbulent region
plagued by violence and extremism.
But for many Lebanese, its a rotting state eaten away by a political
class that has long used the countrys sectarian power-sharing system to perpetuate corruption and
nepotism.
And while recent protests over
uncollected trash have challenged
an arrangement almost universally
denounced by Lebanese, they also
cant seem to shake it. Many argue
that system is what has allowed the
country of 4.5 million people from
18 recognized and often rival sects
to survive.
You Stink, the main activist
group behind the protest movement,
has called for a massive demonstration on Saturday. Its campaign started over the fetid piles of trash
mounting in Beiruts streets after
the government closed the countrys
main landfill, but it has mushroomed into a movement against the
entire political structure.
At the heart of Lebanons problems, some say, is an unwritten
arrangement since Lebanons 1943

independence which stipulates that


the countrys president must be a
Christian, the prime minister a
Sunni Muslim and the speaker of
parliament a Shiite Muslim the
three largest communities.
The agreement was further
enshrined in the Taif Accord, which
ended Lebanons 1975-90 civil war,
and requires that the parliament and
Cabinet must be half Muslim and
half Christian. The sectarianism
trickles down to other posts, including the army commander and central bank governor, who are traditionally Christians, and the deputy
prime minister, who has to be Greek
Orthodox.
Critics contend its a recipe for a
weak
central
government.
Politicians largely act as the voices
of their sect and engage in cronyism
and patronage for their communities.
What we have in Lebanon is a
consortium of sectarian networks
operating as social welfare
providers in various regions under
religion auspices, with sectarian and
local leadership substituting almost
everything that the government
should be providing, said Imad
Salamey, associate professor of
political science at the Lebanese
American University.
At the same time, the system creates a delicate balance of power that

REUTERS

Residents cover their noses as they walk past garbage piled up along a street in Beirut, Lebanon.
no side is prepared to disrupt as the
key to Lebanons tenuous stability.
The
Iranian-backed
Shiite
Muslim Hezbollah movement is a
prime example.
By far the strongest political force
in Lebanon, its on the U.S. State
Departments list of terrorist organizations, has engaged in several
devastating wars with Israel and has
sent thousands of fighters to shore
up President Bashar Assads forces
in Syria all controversial moves
in Lebanon. Its guerrilla army is at
least as well-armed and trained as
the Lebanese military, and for
Shiites it provides an elaborate

social welfare network that includes


schools, hospitals and clinics.
It dominates local politics and
came close to carrying out a coup in
2008. But it has also been meticulously mindful not to go too far and
spark a backlash from other sects
that would wreck a status quo it
benefits from.
Lebanon has managed to avoid
drifting toward total collapse and it
has also avoided moving toward
dictatorship largely because of this
balance of power between the various sects, Salemey said.
That balance has an impact
beyond politics. Hezbollah has a

fundamentalist Shiite ideology and


Lebanon has plenty of Sunni conservatives, but no faction is strong
enough to try to impose strict
Islamic mores on Lebanons freewheeling society. With no one force
totally in charge, Lebanon has perhaps the freest media in the region.
That, along with its Mediterranean
beaches, bars and a renovated
downtown in Beirut, gives the
country an air of liberal modernity.
Others say the problem lies not in
the governing system, but in the
political class itself, which never
rose above the warlord-style governance of the civil war.
