Train bridge project on track

Street closures begin as Caltrain replaces 100-year-old bridges
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The first in a months-long series of

street closures began in San Mateo over
the weekend as Caltrain plans to replace
four more than 100-year-old bridges to
meet current seismic safety standards.
Tilton Avenue from B to Claremont
streets will be closed for up to eight
weeks as part of Caltrains San Mateo
Bridge Replacement Project slated to
culminate in October 2016.
Strategically scheduled to avoid
affecting thousands of the transit
agencys commuters, the Tilton Avenue
bridge will be swapped out with a seismically safer version overnight Nov. 7.

Once the Tilton Avenue bridge is

replaced and the road reopened, similar
structures at Monte Diablo, Santa Inez
and Poplar avenues will also be replaced
and the roads closed one at a time for up
to eight weeks a piece, according to
Caltrain.
The $38 million project includes new
retaining walls and the new steel bridges
are being manufactured out of state
before being assembled on site, according to Caltrain.
The bridges are over 100 years old
and theyre aging and they no longer
meet the current seismic safety standards. So we have to upgrade these
bridges for the safety of our passengers
that ride on the train and for safer rail

operations, said Caltrain spokeswoman

Tasha Bartholomew.
Not only do these four outdated
bridges not meet todays earthquake
safety standards, they dont provide for
modern vehicles as large trucks frequently become stuck under the lowhanging structures, Bartholomew said.
Weve had many issues where trucks
have gotten stuck thinking they could
make it. So were hoping that by raising
the tracks by up to 4 feet in some areas,
depending on which bridge, that it will
help with that issue which has been a
concern for residents, Bartholomew
said.

Timber & Salt celebrates citys history

New bar and restaurant opens in downtown Redwood City
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Redwood City is booming, transforming into a cultural hub for the

Peninsula, and a new bar and restaurant downtown aims to capitalize on
the new prosperity by reminding
people of the citys roots timber
and salt.
Timber & Salt opened quietly on
Middlefield Road two weeks ago
and is definitely a cocktail forward
bar but its artisan comfort foods by
chef and owner Derek Burns are
sure to be a draw.
Burns and bartender Brian

Matulis are all about sustainability

and they both concoct their own ferments and pickles for the food and
syrups, bitters and tinctures for the
bars cocktail list on site.
The restaurant sources much of its
food from local and sustainable
farmers, ranchers and fisherman.
Its name celebrates the citys colorful past when its hillside timber
rolled down Woodside Road to the
port which was then bordered by
dozens of salt ponds.
Burns makes sure many of his
dishes, especially the bar bites,
reflect the citys salty past.
The decor reflects the citys past

as a center of timber.
The core group, including Stewart
Putney and Chef de Cuisine Joshua
Regal, are all about the details and
mixing ingredients together in
unique ways that will take its customers by surprise.
Putney handles the restaurants
marketing and Regal, from South
Carolina, will take over the day-today operations of the restaurant,
Burns said.
Putney and Burns happen to be
old surfing buddies in Pacifica

A controversial housing development proposed for the San Mateo

Highlands that was once shelved
and now refined will face a third
review by the San Mateo County
Planning Commission later this
month.
The Ascension Heights subdivision project was first proposed in
2002 and called for 26 houses and
one 40-unit condominium on 97
acres. It was then scaled back to 25
homes on 13 acres at Water Tank
Hill but that plan was also rejected.
The new plan has been scaled

back to 19 single-family homes at

the northeast corner of Bel Aire
Road and Ascension Drive near
College of San Mateo. But nearby
residents are still complaining about
the size of the project and grading
needed in the areas steep slopes.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the project to hear from the applicant, San
Mateo
Real
Estate
and
Construction, Jan. 28. It was continued again to Feb. 25 to hear more
from the public and then again to
Monday, Oct. 14.

UC campuses and high schools around

and whether they hurt or help the
chances of public school students.
Supporters say a recommendation letter can boost the chances of a deserving
student whose test scores dont fully
reflect his or her achievements and who

consultants in writing personal statements.

nected students and those who attend

private high schools with small classes
and ample counseling staff.
Adding even optional recommendations to all UC applications would be a
sea change, said Stephen Handel, UCs
associate vice president for undergraduate admissions. Upcoming deliberation
will have to measure the usefulness in
admissions decisions against concerns
that a change might inadvertently disenfranchise certain students from even
applying, he told the Times.
UC generally has not asked for recommendations in its main undergraduate applications. It relies instead on high
school grades, standardized test scores,
personal essays and a review of students accomplishments and personal
challenges.
UC Berkeley had planned to ask, but
not require, all undergraduate applicants
this fall to submit two letters of recommendation, including one from a
teacher. But that idea sparked opposition
statewide and was reduced in scope.
A committee of UC admissions officers is studying various changes to the
online application that all nine undergraduate campuses share, including
whether letters should be implemented
systemwide. A report is expected this
fall, and proposed policy changes face
review by faculty and top UC administrators, the newspaper said.

When San Francisco was a city that knows how

Police reports
Honey, Im home!
A sign and two trash stands were broken

driveway on the 1100 block of El Camino
Real in Millbrae before 6:27 p.m.

MILLBRAE

The site of the Hassler Health Farm just north of Edgewood Road in San Carlos.

et if you called San Francisco the

city that knows how people would
ask: Knows how to what? There
was a time, however, when that was an apt
motto for a city that seemed capable of doing
just about anything right, including health
care.
Today foundation remnants in the popular
Pulgas Ridge hiking area just north of
Edgewood Road in San Carlos are about all
that remains of the Hassler Health Farm, an
enclave of 17 buildings that was part of a
unique San Francisco story that was once
admired throughout the nation but is now all
but forgotten.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft

bestowed the city that knows how title on
San Francisco, then recovering from the 1906
earthquake. A few years later that pat-on-theback compliment could have applied to the
health care system of the city to the north: it
featured Laguna Honda hospital for the indigent, an ambulance service, a system of emergency hospitals spread throughout the city,
and Hassler, which housed tuberculosis
patients in a climate judged best by government test. All this was free to all, which is
a word spinners way of saying tax supported.
The 300-acre Hassler facility opened in
1927 as the San Francisco Health Farm. It was
renamed Hassler Health Farm in 1931 to
honor San Francisco Public Health Director

William Hassler, who was instrumental in

controlling the bubonic plague outbreak that
followed the 1906 earthquake. The sanatorium closed in 1964 but it was converted to a
hospital for the indigent which shut down in
1972. The buildings were demolished in the
1980s, but not without a fight. Those who
wanted to preserve the buildings said that the
Hassler facility achieved international significance during the reign of the white death, as
many called tuberculosis. Changes in the
method of fighting TB and reduced funding
led to the closing of Hassler.
The cold air treatment went out in the
30s, Dr. James Greenwell told reporters.

Mann on a mission
Burlingame filmmaker focus of TV series on HBO
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL

A Burlingame native, ushered into

Hollywood through the endorsement of Ben
Affleck and Matt Damon, is the star of a
national television show documenting the creation of his first major film.
HBOs weekly reality-based series Project
Greenlight is focusing this season on film
director Jason Mann, who grew up locally and
attended public schools in Hillsborough and
Burlingame.
Mann, 30, said he is thrilled with the opportunities that have been presented to him since
being selected for the show after a nationwide
talent search.
Ive spent so many years trying to make
feature films, he said. Its really exciting for
it to be coming to fruition, and for it to really
be possible.
But making it onto the show was not always
part of Manns plan, he said.
A series of happy accidents led to his being
picked for the show which documents the

process upcoming filmmakers take in navigating the challenges of creating a major

movie.
Mann was coerced into heeding the networks call for ambitious upstarts at the
behest of a colleague who said the opportunity could be parlayed into a chance to meet an
executive with deep pockets willing to
finance an original production.
I was happy to go along with the program
if it would mean making a film, after trying so
long to raise financing for another film, he
said.
Little did he know that path would eventually lead to an opportunity to work side by
side with two of the worlds most notable
superstars, who co-produce the show.
The plot of this season revolves around
Mann, working with his crew, cast, Damon,
Affleck and the rest of the production team to
bring to life his original screenplay for a film
titled The Leisure Class.
And though the process was enjoyable and
enlightening, Mann said the show is not an
entirely accurate depiction of events as he
remembers them.
Mann said he finds himself
vexed by the application of
traditional reality television
machinations to sensationalize
the interaction between characters
on
Project
Greenlight.
At first I was convinced it
was a docu-series and not a
reality show, and not about
battling filmmakers but more
about the process of making
film, he said. Now that Ive
seen some of the episodes, Im
not sure I agree.
He said producers and editors worked to synthesize 10
months worth of footage
down to oversimplified story
lines revolving around traditional
reality
television
themes of conflict and tension.
Its fascinating to see, he
said. I definitely get frustrated with the way they just
change things.
But despite the occasional

Burlingame native Jason Mann works on set for the HBO weekly reality-based series Project
Greenlight.
bout of exasperation, Mann said he was grateful for the opportunity to be on the show, and
the avenues it has presented.
After the eight-episode season of Project
Greenlight finishes airing, The Leisure
Class will show in its entirety on HBO in
November.
Mann said he is thrilled to have a chance to
see his creation broadcast on a platform with
millions of subscribers, and is astounded at
how quickly his exposure on Project
Greenlight has granted him new opportunities.
Its pretty amazing the way doors open up
for you as a filmmaker once you have the validation of something like this, he said.
He is now working with the prolific entertainment company William Morris Agency,
and his career is beginning to flourish.
It looks very possible for raising money
for another film right away, as opposed to just
searching out for people who would want to
get involved, he said.
And as he ascends toward success in film
industry, Mann credits his time growing up in
San Mateo County for nurturing his passion
for creativity.
Its just a very fertile place for making art
in a way that isnt focused on commerce, he
said. Its a great place to begin and experiment with things.
Music was Manns initial outlet for expression, as he played in bands that toured

throughout the region and into San Francisco.

Around the time he began attending
Crocker Middle School in Hillsborough,
before moving onto Burlingame High School,
Mann turned his focus to film.
He said he found the transition from music
to film natural, as he could easily identify parallels between recording his band and producing his movies.
From there, Mann went to attend Loyola
Marymount University, where he studied film
and began working as a writer, cinematographer and editor after graduation. Eventually,
he was accepted into a masters degree program at Columbia University, where he began
writing the script which ultimately became
the foundation for The Leisure Class.
As Project Greenlight has been on the air
for roughly a month, Mann said he finds himself being contacted by friends who he has not
heard from in years.
And most of the reviews hes heard, including those from his parents who still live in
Burlingame, are favorable, he said.
From the outside perspective, it seems to
be positive, he said. Its fascinating the way
to see the show causes so many reactions.

airs Sunday, Oct. 4 on HBO. The show begins
at 10 p.m.

Local briefs
Four alleged burglars arrested
after silent alarm activated
Deputies arrested four people Saturday
morning after deputies saw them running
from the scene of a burglary at a San Carlos
camera rental store.
At 5:47 a.m., deputies responded to a report
of
a
silent
burglary
alarm
at
BorrowLenses.com, located at 1664 Industrial
Road, according to sheriffs officials.
As deputies arrived on scene, deputies witnessed four people running away from the
back of the closed business, sheriffs officials
said.
Deputies were able to quickly detain three
of the suspects. Deputies found the fourth suspect hiding underneath a nearby parked van,
sheriffs officials said.
Deputies determined the suspects had been
driving the van, which was reported stolen out
of Sunnyvale. Inside the van deputies found
burglary tools and laptops that had been taken
from a Fremont business during a burglary
that went unreported, according to sheriffs
officials.
Deputies arrested all four on suspicion of
burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of a stolen vehicle, conspiracy and
gang enhancement.
Deputies identified the suspects as Los
Angeles residents Ryan Macias, 23, Victor
Parra, 31, Marco Beltran, 25, and Roberto
Calderon, 33.
All four suspects were booked into the
Maguire Correctional Facility in Redwood
City, sheriffs officials said.

Judge orders evaluation of

driver in Devils Slide fatal crash
A 24-year-old man on trial for driving his
car while drunk and causing a fatal car crash
in 2013 was committed to San Quentin State
Prison Friday for a diagnostic evaluation, San
Mateo County prosecutors said.
Ryan Riesenberger, of El Cajon, will be
brought in front of Judge Leland Davis again
on Jan. 8, 2016, for a recommendation on sentencing. Riesenberger faces a maximum of 7
years, 8 months in state prison.
According to prosecutors, Riesenberger on
Nov. 23, 2013, was driving south on Highway
1 at high speeds with three friends after a
night of drinking in San Francisco.
He drove at around 80 miles per hour,
almost twice the speed limit, near the Devils

Slide tunnels, prosecutors said. When he lost

control and crashed, his front-seat passenger,
23-year-old Sanjeev Joshi of Visalia, was
killed, and the other passengers were injured.
Riesenbergers blood alcohol level was
later determined to be 0.12 percent, over the
legal limit, prosecutors said.
On July 20, Riesenberger pleaded no contest to felony counts of vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence and
drunk driving causing injury. He also admitted a great bodily harm enhancement.
The defendant has been out of custody on
$250,000 property bonds, but he was remanded Friday to begin the 90-day evaluation at
San Quentin State Prison.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said the stay isnt likely to take the
full three months. He added that this isnt an
option judges pursue very often.
State-licensed psychologists at San Quentin
will conduct interviews with Riesenberger to
assist in determining whether prison is appropriate, Wagstaffe said.
The defendant is asking for a probationary
period instead of time in state prison.

Citys last gun store

is closing its doors
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The only gun store

in San Francisco is shuttering for good, saying
it can no longer operate in the citys political
climate of increased gun control regulations
and vocal opposition to its business.
Its with tremendous sadness and regret
that I have to announce we are closing our
shop, High Bridge Arms manager Steve
Alcairo announced in a Facebook post on
Sept. 11. It has been a long and difficult ride,
but a great pleasure to be your last San
Francisco gun shop.
Alcairo said the breaking point came this
summer when a local politician proposed a
law that would require High Bridge Arms to
video record every gun sale and submit a
weekly report of ammunition sales to the
police. If passed, the law would join several
local gun control ordinances on the books in a
city still scarred by the 1993 murder of eight
in a downtown high-rise and the 1978 assassination of Mayor George Moscone and gay
rights activist Harvey Milk.
Im not doing that to our customers.
Enough is enough, Alcairo said. Buying a
gun is a constitutionally protected right. Our
customers shouldnt be treated like theyre
doing something wrong.
The announcement prompted an outpouring
of sympathy and anger online from gun
enthusiasts and a steady stream of customers eager to take advantage of going-outof-business prices.
The new rifles lining the stores walls are

quickly dwindling, and the handguns in the

glass cases are going fast. So are T-shirts that
boast in English and Chinese that High Bridge
is The Last San Francisco Gun Store.
For years, the High Bridge Arms weathered
mounting restrictions imposed by local lawmakers and voters, who passed a handgun ban
in 2005 that a judge later struck down. The
gun store increasingly stood out in the gentrifying Bernal Heights neighborhood of hot
restaurants, trendy bars and a chic marijuana
dispensary, while weathering organized campaigns calling for its closure.
High Bridge will close Oct. 31, Alcairo
said.
Supervisor Mark Farrell said he introduced
the latest bill to help police combat violent
crime in the city. Anything that makes San
Francisco safer, I support, he said.
Farrell said the bill hasnt been voted on,
and he doesnt understand why the store is
closing now. He said it was comical that the
High Bridge is blaming its closure on a proposed law still months away from taking
effect.
Alcairo said news coverage of the bills
introduction in July slowed sales considerably
because customers wrongly believed their
purchases would be recorded and turned over
to police. He said he had to lay off three clerks
and that sales slumped throughout the summer. The stores summer slump comes amid
an overall gun sales surge in the state, according to California Department of Justice statistics. The California DOJ reported 931,000
guns sold last year three times the number
sold in 2004.

Bay Bridge designer fears leaks are damaging main cable

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The lead

designer of the Bay Bridge has
warned Caltrans that the cable that
holds up the new bridges eastern
span is vulnerable to corrosion
because of rainwater leaking into its
anchorages.
Bridge officials have been preoccupied with the possibility that rods
at the base of the spans tower could
be corroded by water but lead
designer Marwan Nader of the T.Y.

Lin International design firm in San

Francisco said the bigger concern is
the cable specifically, the twin
steel boxes where the cable is
anchored inside the spans deck, the
San Francisco Chronicle reported
Sunday.
On the span, the cable is protected from the elements by a steel
jacket.
But in the anchorages on either
side of the eastern end, the strands
fan out and are exposed, and if
water gets to them, they can cor-

rode and fail.

The corrosion danger is very real
on the $6.4 billion project, Nader
told a Caltrans-convened peer
review panel in July.
According to minutes of the
meeting, released only recently,
Caltrans officials acknowledged
that rainwater has been flowing into
the two anchorages because of
design problems with the guardrail
system.
He noted that the cable structure
is the most important element in this

bridge and needs to be protected,

the minutes say. Although each
anchorage has a dehumidifier, that
system cant handle water flooding
in from rain, Nader said.
The dehumidification is not
effective if rainwater is allowed to
seep into the east anchorage,
Nader told the Caltrans panel,
according to the meeting minutes.
Nader did not respond to requests
for comment.
Caltrans has yet to say how it
plans to deal with the leaks. Brian

Maroney, the bridge projects chief

engineer, has said the idea is to wait
for a storm that lasts several days
and exposes all the spots where
water is getting into the deck and
anchorages.
Whats going on right now is not
acceptable to us, and were going to
fix it, Maroney said in March. He
said at the time that he had only
recently learned that a key element
of the bridge drainage system had
been dropped, contributing to the
leaks.

New legislation closes Violence will not have the last word says
loophole in ivory sales pastor whose daughter survived massacre
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry

Brown has signed a bill to close a
loophole in the states ban on
importing, buying or selling elephant ivory or rhinoceros horns.
Supporters said California is a
major market for ivory, and the ban
would help dry up demand.
The measure by Assembly
Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego,
aimed to end the states exemption
for selling ivory imported before
1977. She said clamping down on
the illegal ivory trade would help
bring an end to the poaching of elephants and rhinoceros.

Extinction
Ninety-six elephants die every
day for their ivory. Elephants and
rhinos are being slaughtered at a
faster rate they are being born,
which will result in their extinction
if we dont step up, Atkins said in a
statement Sunday. The governors
signature on AB96 strengthens
enforcement against the illegal
ivory trade in California, which
will, in turn, help put an end to
poaching.
Brown announced Sunday he
signed the bill.
Critics said the legislation would

do little to help
if other countries and states
continue allowing sales of
ivory products.
But supporters
a r g u e d
California can
Jerry Brown make a difference by serving
as a model for other states. The
measure includes exemptions for
musical instruments made before
1975 that are less than 20 percent
ivory; antiques over 100 years old
that are less than 5 percent ivory;
and sales or imports of ivory for
educational or scientific purposes if
the item was acquired before 1991.

In San Francisco
San Francisco and Los Angeles
make up two of the countrys top
three hubs for ivory sales. New
York, which wildlife officials call
the countrys biggest ivory market,
banned the sale of most elephant
ivory, mammoth tusks and rhinoceros horns last year.
On Saturday, the governor vetoed
separate legislation by Sen. Ricardo
Lara, D-Bell Gardens, to ban the use
of bullhooks to guide and discipline
elephants starting in 2018.

ROSEBURG, Ore. A pastor

whose daughter survived last
weeks deadly rampage in a college
classroom told his congregation on
Sunday that violence will not have
the last word in this southern
Oregon timber town.
More than 100 people gathered to
hear pastor Randy Scroggins speak
at New Beginnings Church of God,
including his daughter 18-year-old
Lacey, who sat in the front row and
wiped away tears.
Scroggins said hes been asked
whether he can forgive Christopher
Sean Harper-Mercer, who killed
nine when he opened fire Thursday
at Umpqua Community College.
Can I be honest? I dont know.
Thats the worst part of my job. I
dont know said Scroggins, his
voice cracking with emotion. I
dont focus on the man. I focus on
the evil that was in the man.
Harper-Mercer killed himself
after police arrived on the scene.
Scroggins told those gathered at
his church that his daughter survived because she was lying on the
floor and partially covered by the
body of a fellow student. The gunman thought his daughter was dead.
Scroggins said the community has

Now we use drugs, primarily three of

them, and we also do better surgery, not
so drastic.
By 1965, the switch from tuberculosis
to chronic disease treatment was completed with the vast majority of 156
patients stroke, heart and arthritic geriatrics cases. All patients were removed
by the end of 1972 with some going to
Laguna Honda, others to a convalescent
hospital in Burlingame or to other facilities throughout the Bay Area. The
patients ranged in age from 70 to 102.
Calling the closure a crying shame,

come together with strength and

courage and compassion. As if to
say, we will not be defined by violence ...Violence will not have the
last word in Roseburg.
Religious faith is an important
part of many peoples lives in this
rural part of Oregon, called by some
the Bible Belt of Oregon. In
Roseburg alone, there are dozens of
churches, and Christian billboards
and crosses dot area highways and
roads.
Pastors have been at the forefront
of helping victims families cope
with a grief that can seem unbearable.
When pastor Jon Nutter got a text
message last Thursday about the
shooting and realized how many
had been killed or injured, he immediately formed a prayer circle at
Starbucks where he was sitting.
He then rushed to open his church
in Roseburg to anyone in need of
counseling, and drove to the
Douglas County Fairgrounds, where
officials were reuniting students
with family members.
As bus after bus rolled into the
fairgrounds on Thursday carrying
students, faculty and staff, Nutter
and about two dozen other local
pastors held uncontrollably crying
students, formed prayer circles, lis-

Dr. Francis Curry, the director of the San

Francisco Health Department, was quick
to blame cuts in funding caused by the
Medi-Cal Reform Act of 1971.
Hassler was in the news a decade later
when the vacant buildings became a
party place for Peninsula teenagers and
young adults who turned to vandalism
for entertainment. Authorities estimated
that hundreds of windows were shattered, some with hospital furniture used
as missiles. Many of the windows
became shooting ranges. Fires were set
in some of the buildings and broken beer
bottles and crushed beer cans littered the
site. One weekend night in 1981,
deputies arrested 74 people on charges
of trespassing, drug possession, public
drinking and weapons possession.

tened to eyewitnesses recount the

rampage that killed nine and
watched tearful reunions with parents and spouses.
The pastors also comforted parents and spouses who waited for the
last bus of students. Five hours after
the shooting rampage, a dozen
remaining family members were
ushered into a room at the fairgrounds, said Nutter, who was also
in the room. Officials notified them
there would be no more buses coming.
They had been waiting for a long
time, hoping, praying, said Nutter,
pastor of Hucrest Community
Church of God. People were crying, yelling, some families were
angry, others going into denial and
shock.
At Sunday services, many pastors
planned to talk about the shootings.
Its important for us to just listen, said Grant Goins, an associate
pastor at Roseburg Alliance Church.
We dont know how to grieve; we
want to pretend death is not coming.
We tell people its OK to cry, to give
others a hug, to sing Amazing
Grace.
Over the past four days, Nutter
and the other pastors have organized
a web of support for victims families and the wider community.

Charges were dropped on a technicality

the officers didnt give the partygoers sufficient warning that they could
be arrested if they didnt leave Hassler.
While Hassler cared for San Francisco
residents, San Mateo County patients
were in an adjacent facility at the foot of
the hill below Hassler, with which it was
often confused. The San Mateo County
Sanatorium opened in 1952 with 105
beds, a figure that was down to around
60 in 1961. Today, the area is home to
the Cordilleras Mental Health Center.

Heavy rains cause major flooding

COLUMBIA, S.C. Hundreds

were rescued from fast-moving
floodwaters Sunday in South
Carolina as days of driving rain hit
a dangerous crescendo that buckled
buildings and roads, closed a major
East Coast interstate route and
threatened the drinking water supply for the capital city.
The powerful rainstorm dumped
more than a foot of rain overnight
on Columbia, swamping hundreds

businesses
and
homes.
Emergency workers waded into
waist-deep water to help people
trapped in cars, dozens of boats
fanned out to rescue people in

were plucked from rooftops by helicopters.

Inmates slip away on

way to halfway houses
By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON More than 240 inmates

have slipped away from federal custody in the
past three years while traveling to halfway
houses, including several who committed
bank robberies and a carjacking while on the
lam, according to documents obtained by the
Associated Press.
Some of the inmates who absconded from
2012 through 2014 were reported by prison
officials to have histories of violence and misconduct while in prison, the records show.
The federal Bureau of Prisons each year
permits thousands of inmates it considers low
risk to serve the final months of their sentences at halfway houses where counseling,
job placement and other services are offered.
These inmates travel unescorted, often by bus,
as part of the process of transitioning back
into the community.
Records obtained through the Freedom of
Information Act show that 327 inmates were
placed on escaped status during those years.
About 65 of them were simply late arrivals,
though the circumstances of their tardiness
are not detailed. Most of the escapes occurred
as inmates were traveling without escort from
a prison to a halfway house. The remaining
few took place during travel for social, medical or other purposes that were not specified.
The bureau could not say how many who
fled have since been apprehended.

The escapees are a fraction of the roughly

30,000 who travel unescorted to halfway
houses each year. But the data nonetheless
expose lingering imperfections in a system
thats come under scrutiny from the Justice
Departments watchdog and that relies on
trust that inmates nearing the end of their sentences will arrive at their destinations as
scheduled.
Its an unfortunate reality that a number of
these individuals are not going to succeed,
agency spokesman Ed Ross said. But they
have certainly been given the opportunities to
prepare themselves the entire time while
theyre in prison.
Inmates permitted to travel from minimumsecurity prisons to halfway houses are placed
on a strict travel schedule and required to report
at a specific time, Ross said. Those failing to do
so could face criminal charges, disciplinary
action and relocation to a higher-security facility. Assigning escorts for the inmates would be
unnecessarily costly for the government, especially given the minimal security requirements
of these offenders, he said.
The real issue is whether youve made the
right judgment about who to trust and who not
to trust being unaccompanied in a situation
like that, said Republican Rep. Ken Buck of
Colorado, a member of the House Judiciary
Committees crime subcommittee.
Crimes committed by inmates on furlough
are rare, according to quarterly escape reports
that the AP reviewed.

Law firm labeled hate group

leading Kim Davis crusade
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Kim Davis lawyer

stood onstage in a Washington D.C. hotel and
pointed to a photo on the screen. It showed
100,000 people packed into a Peruvian soccer
stadium, Mat Staver told the crowd, all there
to pray for the Kentucky clerk battling against
gay marriage.
The crowd erupted.
It wasnt true.
Stavers firm, the Liberty Counsel, which
revealed Davis secret meeting with Pope
Francis, has been accused by advocacy groups
of peddling misrepresentations in the past. Yet
it has become the main source of details about
the controversial pope meeting.
Online sleuths quickly debunked the Peru
story Staver told at the Values Voter Summit,
a conference for the conservative Family
Research Council. The photo was from a year-

old gathering unrelated to

Davis, who spent five
days in jail for defying a
court order and refusing
to license gay marriages.
Staver could provide no
evidence of a massive
Davis rally. On Monday,
he called it a mistake and
blamed miscommunicaKim Davis
tion with the Peruvian
authorities who gave him the photo.
The next day, the firm dropped a bombshell.
It said Pope Francis, on his celebrated visit to
America, secretly met with Davis. The pope
hugged her, thanked her for her courage and
told her to stay strong, Liberty Counsel
said.
The Vatican on Friday said the pope had a
brief meeting with Davis that should not be
seen as support for her stance.

around the state. Several interstates

around Columbia were closed, and
so was a 75-mile stretch of
Interstate 95 that is a key route connecting Miami to Washington, D.C.
and New York.
This is different than a hurricane
because it is water, it is slow moving and it is sitting. We cant just
move the water out, Gov. Nikki
Haley said at a news conference.
One death was reported in the
area on Sunday, bringing weatherrelated deaths to seven since the
storm began days earlier.
People were told to stay off roads
and remain indoors until floodwaters recede, and a curfew was issued
for Columbia and across two surrounding counties. The capital city
told all 375,000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking
because of water line breaks and the
threat of rising water to a treatment
plant. Nearly 30,000 customers

were without power at one point.

State forecasters said another 2-6
inches could fall around the state,
and it could be Tuesday before skies
are sunny. The rainstorm around the
Southeast has drawn tropical moisture from offshore thats linked up
with an area of low pressure and a
slow-moving front.
Local officials counted several
hundred water rescues by midmorning before Columbia Fire
Chief Aubry Jenkins said in an
interview that there were too many
rescues to keep count.
Were just trying to get to everyone, Jenkins said. But there are
places we just havent gotten to.
One of the hardest hit areas in
Columbia was near Gills Creek,
where a weather station recorded
more than 18 inches of rain or
more than a third of the citys average yearly rainfall nearly all of it
in 24 hours.

Hope dims for finding mudslide survivors

SANTA CATARINA PINULA,

Guatemala Hope faded Sunday
for finding any survivors of a mudslide that killed at least 96 people as
the smell of rotting bodies spread
across the enormous mound of earth
and rescuers reported the buried
dwellings they reached were filled
with water, suggesting anyone
trapped inside would have drowned.
Rescue workers on Sunday pulled
more than a dozen corpses from the
mound created when a hillside collapsed and covered about 4 acres
(1.7 hectares) with mud and dirt as
deep as 15 yards (meters).
Fifty-nine bodies, some of which
were found in pieces, remain
unidentified, said Julio Sanchez,
spokesman for Guatemalas volunteer firefighters.

have been identified included at

least 26 children and teenagers.
Rescuers decided to keep individual emergency workers, relatives
and reporters off the increasingly
foul-smelling mound of dirt. Instead
of digging by hand and listening for
survivors, crews planned to use
mostly backhoes and bulldozers to
speed up the search for bodies.
The people who could have been
alive have drowned, said services
coordinator
Sergio
Cabanas,
explaining that rescue personnel on
foot would be sent out mainly when
a backhoe turns up a corpse.
Ninety percent of it we will do
with heavy machinery.
Authorities said about 300 people
may still be missing. But they left
open the possibility that many of
them had simply fled and taken
refuge with relatives without contacting authorities, or that they were

not in the 125 buried homes when

the mudslide struck.
It was discouraging news for
those who still held out hope of
finding relatives buried by
Thursday nights disaster, which
inundated much of the Cambray
neighborhood in Santa Catarina
Pinula, a middle-class community
of government workers, salesmen,
taxi drivers and cooks.
As time went on, hope of finding
anyone alive dwindled.
Only a miracle can save them,
rescue worker Ines de Leon said.
But family members who had
already identified their dead at the
improvised morgue resigned themselves to the grim task of burying
them in the crowded local cemetery.
City workers rapidly prepared
burial niches in a large crypt wall
for the dead, with dozens of square
holes awaiting coffins.

No end in sight to migrant wave Green Zone in Iraq

By Danica Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZAGREB, Croatia One month

after the body of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi
washed up on a Turkish beach and a
week after the European Union agreed
to secure its borders the migrant crisis has largely fallen off the front pages
and reporters are going home.
But the human tide keeps rolling northward and westward, and aid agencies are
preparing for it to continue through the
winter, when temperatures along the
migrant trail will drop below freezing.
They fear the crisis may get worse.

One thing is clear, the movement is

not going to die down, said Babar
Baloch, the U.N. refugee agencys representative in the Balkans. What we are
seeing right now ... its just the tip of the
iceberg.
While over a half million people have
crossed the Mediterranean to Europe
this year, more than double the figure
for all of 2014, that is only a fraction of
the people who are on the move. Some 4
million have fled Syria after more than
four years of civil war, and 8 million
have been displaced inside the country.
And its not just Syrians. Its Iraqis and
Iranians, Afghans and Eritreans.

The EU acknowledged the scale of the

problem last week, even after it
approved a plan to toughen border controls and provide at least 1 billion euros
($1.1 billion) to help Turkey, Lebanon
and Jordan care for refugees living in
their countries. The first new border
measures wont take effect until
November, and a proposal for strengthening the EU border agency is due in
December.
Recently I visited refugee camps in
Turkey and Jordan and I heard only one
message we are determined to get to
Europe, European Council President
Donald Tusk said.

Spike in Palestinian attacks raise fears of another Intifada

By Daniel Estrin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM A series of grisly

Palestinian attacks that killed several
Israeli civilians has prompted the government to take unprecedented security
measures amid growing public debate
over whether the specter of another
Palestinian Intifada, or uprising, is on
the horizon.
Israels prime minister vowed a
harsh offensive to counter rising violence that has focused in recent weeks

over Jerusalems most sensitive holy site

sacred to both Muslims and Jews, in a
series of so-called lone wolf
Palestinian attacks against Israelis. On
Sunday, Israel announced that
Palestinians would be temporarily
barred from Jerusalems Old City, the
first time Israel has taken this step since
it captured the Old City in the 1967
Mideast War.
The latest spike in violence comes at a
time when many Palestinians no longer
believe statehood through negotiations
with Israel is possible. Israeli commen-

tators have raised the possibility of a

third uprising, though Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas has so far
prevented major outbreaks of violence
despite his growing friction with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israels leading newspaper commentator, Nahum Barnea, called the recent
violence the Third Intifada, referring
to Palestinian uprisings in the 1980s and
the early 2000s. Not calling it by name
allows the political and military establishment to evade, repress, shirk responsibility, he wrote in a newspaper.

open to all citizens

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqs Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi

declared the heavily fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad
open to all of his citizens for the first time in 12 years Sunday
amid efforts to cut spending and appease citizens who have
been protesting for basic public services.
Al-Abadi referred to the opening of the Green Zone as part
of the measures promised to our citizens and this opening
that we are witnessing points to continued plans to reform
actions which we will not back down from, a statement from
his office said, adding that al-Abadi was the first to pass
through the newly-opened Green Zone, or the International
Zone as it is officially known.
The four square mile (10 square kilometer) compound, on
the west bank of the Tigris River, was declared off-limits to
the public in the wake of the 2003 U.S.-led occupation. The
complex, with its high concrete walls lined with barbed wire,
and heavily guarded checkpoints, is home to several palaces
once belonging to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein,
and was turned into the administrative headquarters for the
U.S.-led coalition following the 2003 invasion. Today, it contains a number of residential apartment buildings and homes,
including those of many senior Iraqi government officials. A
number of foreign embassies are also there, including the
U.S. embassy, which, at 104 acres, is the largest and most
expensive embassy in the world.
The zone has continued to be a target for bombings and
rockets over the years, despite the concrete walls that surround it.
A senior Green Zone security official told The Associated
Press that much of the restrictions on movement inside the
Green Zone will still remain in place, particularly on streets
leading to high-level government buildings and embassies,
including the U.S. embassy.
The official spoke anonymously because he is not authorized to brief the media.

Guest perspective

Our students heroic journey

By Kevin Skelly

hen my son was a sophomore in high school, his

wise English teacher asked
each student to describe how he or she
was on a heros journey. Even though
they had been reading The Odyssey for
inspiration, the project weighed on my
son and his peers. Exemplary work
required an honest, articulate, vulnerable, hopeful description of the hardest
person for teenagers to critique
themselves.
I have reected a lot on this assignment, particularly when I read Harry
Potter books or look forward to the
next Star Wars movie. It seems to me
that a heros journey is an effective lens
through which to see our wondrous
young peoples coming-of-age in our
schools. The formative four years of
high school are a journey in which our

students carry the

weight of the collective dreams of those
who love them.
They grow to understand deeply both
their potential and
their limitations.
Ironically, as they
grow in stature and
physical strength, they are most vulnerable to mental health challenges such as
anxiety and depression. And they
inevitably encounter disappointments
and obstacles, take the wrong path, and
make bad decisions.
Those of us who serve as guides give
our emerging travelers gifts for their
journey. First, our fervent support
assures them that they are not alone
and, no matter how arduous, we are
there to help them. When we are at our
best, we also give our young people the
right measure of independence, for it is

from their mistakes that they develop

the condence they need when confronting their personal demons. Finally,
our young pilgrims are best outtted
when we assure them that their struggles and failures are their best preparation for lifes unavoidable disappointments and a necessary ingredient to
what makes lifes successes that much
sweeter.
Its easy for us in the school business
to forget the sense of heroism present
in all of our students. As the years go
by, we can grow inured to the drama of
our students courageous struggle
because we see the beautiful results of
the most strenuous efforts. And yet, it is
our chance to travel with and to provide
guidance to our young people that gives
our work its greatest meaning.
Kevin Skelly, Ph.D., is the superintendent
of the San Mateo Union High School
District.

Relief needed for
92/101 interchange

Implement a just

The Daily Journal received a copy of

this letter sent to the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority CEO and
Board,
On behalf of all of us commuters,
especially those who travel and are
negatively impacted daily by the horrendous backup at the Highway 101
and State Route 92 interchange, when
will this nightmare be dealt with?
Quite frankly, I am shocked it did not
receive priority in the most recent
round of funding. Is it not a priority for
the Transportation Authority board?
Have either one of you taken the time
to travel this route during commute
hours and experience it for yourself?
Reading the Oct. 2 Daily Journal article Highway projects get OK makes
me both happy and sad ... are our county leadersso politicized that they allow
this embarrassment to continue unabated?
With all due respect, whatare your
plans to remedy this trafc nightmare
and when?I and many, many others,
are of the opinion that the 101 and 92
interchange will provide more countywide and regional benet than all listed
in the latest allocation of funding.

Playing games with the

truth in Burlingame
Editor,
It has been reported to our group, the
Burlingame Advocates for Renter
Protections, that a current
councilman and a candidate for council are going
door to door and telling
homeowners that candidate
Nirmala Bandrapalli is
going to try and pass rent
control if she is elected.
This is untrue.
We wish to make it crystal clear to voters that our
group never asked any of
the candidates if they
would try and pass rent stabilization. We know very
well that renters have to put this issue
on the ballot in 2016 and let the voters
have their say. We have experienced
Nirmala Bandrapalli to be the candidate
who is the most sensitive, responsive
and open-minded to renters issues.
That is why she has our endorsement.
Homeowners are being lied to about
the truths of rent stabilization and lied
to about Nirmala Bandrapalli. We
expect better from people who profess
to want to be leaders in our city.

The
Newbies
I

ts a challenge to know about new people running for

ofce, those who dont already hold leadership positions in the community. The election guide and Daily
Journal provide information but often some voters want
more. A recommendation from a friend. An introduction to
the candidate. A review of the candidates endorsements.
And best of all, a chance to see the newbie in action at a coffee or at a candidates night.
***
Last Monday evening, I attended a St. Bartholomews candidates forum for the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District and the San Mateo City Council. The turnout
was huge. Often these events have sparse attendance. It is
the only candidates night for
the school board. There will
be others for the City
Council.
The school board has two
open seats. Audrey Ng of
Foster City is the current
president of the board and
she is running for re-election. One incumbent decided not to run. The two newbies are Nancy Kohn Hsieh
and Bryan Williams. Hsieh
is a San Mateo Highlands
resident and has children in
district schools. She led a
group of parents in ghting
the districts implementation
of a new math curriculum
which removed geometry from middle school. She told me
she is now satised with the districts program, although her
own son attends a private school to supplement his math
education. She has not been active in the PTA or on a school
site council but is involved in a statewide education organization. She works part time for a foster child mental health
nonprot.
Williams is a denite newbie. So I was surprised at how
well he did at the forum. He has been a teacher in California
schools for the past 12 years, most recently at Evergreen
Elementary School in San Jose. There he has served on
budget committees and school site councils and has been a
coach and middle school band teacher. His take on education
issues, both national, state and local was impressive. And he
had some innovative ideas. He lives with his wife and young
daughter in Baywood near the citys main library and has
been a resident for four years. In a phone call, Williams told
me equal and fair, frequent words used in education circles,
are not the same. Fairness is not giving each student the
same but what each needs. Williams is a long shot because
he is not running a real campaign and does not have a statement in the Voters Guide.
***
The San Mateo City Council has two positions on the ballot. Incumbent Jack Matthews is termed out. Mayor Maureen
Freschet is running for re-election. Also in the race are
Diane Papan, Tom Morgan and Karen Schmidt. Papan is not
really a newbie. She has been actively involved in the community as head of the Baywood Homeowners Association,
vice chair of San Mateo United Homeowners Association
and the school PTA. Her experience showed at the forum.
She was well-versed on city issues and had some good ideas
in dealing with exorbitant rent increases.
Both Schmidt and Morgan took the citys citizens academy, a free course on San Mateo city government and its various departments. Both were inspired to get involved.
Schmidt ran for council two years ago and wasnt sure about
another run. But she told me that at the last minute a voice
told her this was something she should do. She applied for
three city commissions (graduates of the citizens academy
are encouraged to do so) and was turned down for each.
Morgan applied unsuccessfully for the Parks and Recreation
Commission. He is running because his Sunnybrae neighbors are upset about the increase in new building and trafc.
He is urging a moratorium on all new construction. None of
the other candidates seemed to embrace that idea.
***
In the Millbrae City Council race, Ann Schneider has
achieved what few newbies can. She is in a position to
defeat a well-known incumbent. She is in a race with three
incumbents seeking re-election: Robert Gottschalk, Wayne
Lee and Gina Papan. Gottschalk was rst elected in 2001,
served two terms, sat out two years and was re-elected in
201l. He is well-liked but is not running an aggressive campaign and is the incumbent most vulnerable. Schneider ran
two years ago and narrowly lost. She attended Millbrae public schools and Capuchino High School in San Bruno. She
has also been an active community volunteer.
***
Lesson for newbies and incumbents. If you really want the
job, you have to campaign hard for it.

More jobs, fewer people, limp raises

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Companies
have posted a record number of job
openings just when a diminished
proportion of Americans are either
working or looking for work.
That combination ought to push
up pay. Yet it hasnt worked out that
way, at least not yet. Wage growth
actually dipped in September.
The ongoing mystery of sluggish
pay growth is important to everyone
who wants a raise. Its also frustrating for the Federal Reserve, which

wants to see the steady job gains of

the past several years translate into
higher pay. This would boost the
Feds confidence that the economys growth is sustainable and that
inflation will return to the central
banks 2 percent target.
U.S. businesses certainly seem
interested in hiring. There were
nearly 5.8 million open jobs at the
end of July, the most since recordkeeping began in 2000. At the
depths of the recession in 2009, that
figure was barely above 3 million.
Yet on Friday, the governments
monthly jobs report showed that the

percentage of people in the workforce those who either have a job

or are looking for one reached a
38-year low of 62.4 percent.
Why? Because many Americans
who were once unemployed have
become discouraged, returned to
school or chosen to stay home, in
some cases to care for relatives.
Their exodus has helped shrink the
unemployment rate to a seven-year
low of 5.1 percent. Thats because
people who arent actively looking
for a job arent counted as unemployed.
So with fewer Americans on the

WASHINGTON Volkswagens
pollution-control chicanery has not just
been victimless tinkering, killing
between five and 20 people in the
United States annually in recent years,
according to an Associated Press statistical and computer analysis.
The software that the company
admitted using to get around government emissions limits allowed VWs to
spew enough pollution to cause somewhere between 16 and 94 deaths over
seven years, with the annual count
increasing more recently as more of the
diesels were on the road. The total cost
has been well over $100 million.
Thats just in the United States. Its
likely far deadlier and costlier in
Europe, where more VW diesels were
sold, engineers said. Scientists and

experts said the death toll in Europe

could be as high as hundreds each year,
though they caution that it is hard to
take American health and air quality
computer models and translate them to
a more densely populated Europe.
Statistically, we cant point out who
died because of this policy, but some
people have died or likely died as a
result of this, said Carnegie Mellon
environmental engineer professor Peter
Adams. He calculates the cost of air
pollution with a sophisticated computer
model that he used in its analysis.
Computer software allowed VW
diesel cars to spew between 10 to 40
times more nitrogen oxides (NOx) than
allowed by regulation, making this
clearly a concern for air quality and
public health, said Janet McCabe, acting air quality chief for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.

number of advertised jobs, should
be feeling pressure to raise pay. But
average wages in September rose
just 2.2 percent from a year earlier,
a tepid pace far below the 3.5 percent gain typical of a healthy economy.
One likely reason pay isnt growing faster, economists say, is that the
low unemployment rate overstates
the job markets strength. That is,
some people who the government
thinks have dropped out and
whom it no longer counts as unemployed would actually take a good

San Francisco (1-3), off to its worst start

rookie returner Jarryd Hayne was trying to
catch a punt on the sideline when he was run
into by two teammates, first L.J. McCray and
then Jaquiski Tartt, and the ball bounced off
the pile of 49ers before teammate Dontae

A helmetless Fou Polataivao emerged from

a second-quarter scrum. But with the play still
going, the College of San Mateo defensive
tackle didnt miss a beat in chasing down
American Rivers quarterback.
No. 5-ranked CSMs pursuit of the opposing quarterbacks was a theme throughout the
Bulldogs 42-10 win over No. 8 American
River Saturday at College Heights Stadium.
We came in ready for a battle, Polataivao
said. This is a good team we played today and
we just came out to battle.
Last year, when American River handed
CSM its first loss of the season, it was
Beavers quarterback Tanner Trosin who stole
the show. With the transfer Trosin gone, and
American River utilizing three different quarterbacks Saturday, the Bulldogs (4-1) were not
about to allow history to repeat itself.
Polataivao and sophomore middle linebacker Mikias Alipate were on the warpath
after having to digest that pivotal loss a year
ago. And the interior tandem led a defensive
effort that kept the end zone on lockdown for
the American River offense.
The defense played a heck of a game,
CSM head coach Bret Pollack said. [Four]
turnovers they caused. They kept them out of
the end zone. Heck of an effort against a
good offense and a good team.
The second-quarter play in which
Polataivao lost his helmet created equipment
issues for the sophomore all day long. He was
forced to come off the field several times
throughout the game to contend with it, during which times American River bit off a good
portion of its 202 total yards of offense.
But the Bulldogs continued to come up with
big stops. CSM jumped out to an early 7-0
lead when freshman quarterback Dru Brown
capped a 10-play, 57-yard drive with a 16-yard
touchdown pass to slot receiver David Rango.
But after the Bulldogs defense came up with

Nova, Gordon surpassed the 500-yard
plateau just once. That performance came
Oct. 31, 2014 in a 56-35 win over Menlo
School, as Gordon threw for 513 yards.
Despite his fast start this season, Gordon
said it hasnt been all gravy in establishing
one of the best community college passing
arsenals in the state.
At first it was a lot to take in, just playing at Terra Nova last year and going to college this year, Gordon said. Its grown
men out there. Its a different kind of game.
In high school you could pick on guys,
but here its different. Everybody is here for
a reason and trying to get to the next level.

Cain finishes strong, Giants bullpen not so much

By Rick Eymer

SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain needed

this kind of outing. The former Giants ace
has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness since throwing his perfect game more
than three years ago.
Cain started for the first time in six weeks

in the ninth inning to beat

Cain finished 2012 with a 16-5 record and a

2.79 ERA. He did not miss a start through his
first eight years. Hes endured injuries and
command problems ever since, recording a
12-21 record with an ERA hovering near 4.50.
That might have changed with one good
outing, his first start in six weeks.
He should take away that hes back,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. What a
great job he did against that lineup. He
should be really encouraged. An outing like
that should do so much for him.

Corey Dickerson hit a three-run homer and

Justin Morneau and Charlie Blackmon each
delivered two-run hits to spoil Cains day.
It was a crazy day with everything happening, Cain said of a pregame ceremony to

Mustangs march to first win of year CSM

Capuchino football is finally in the win

column.
The Mustangs (1-3 overall) not only triumphed Saturday afternoon at Carl Reyna
Field, their offense erupted for a 42-6
thrashing of winless Soquel (0-4).
After scoring just five touchdowns in
three previous games, Capuchino got into
the end zone six times, four via the run game
and two by way of air. Five different
Mustangs scored on the day, with senior
tailback Tarik Moore leading the way with a
pair of rushing touchdowns.
Everybody was happy, but we cant

Other than that, a third-quarter field goal is

Polataivao had two fast first-quarter pursuits

tackle for back-to-back first-downs of 10 and

more productive had Polataivao not reacted off
the line to pursue the speedy Mitchell-Ford
from behind for downfield tackles.
Polataivaos foot-speed has seen marked
improvement from last season, according to
Pollack, who noted the sophomores energy,
effort and discipline in dropping 50 pounds
over the offseason. Polataivao now lists at 62, 290 pounds.
He did a great job of losing the weight,
Pollack said. He wouldnt have made those
plays at 340.
The drive ended when the Bulldogs forced a
punt with Alipate blitzing effectively to
hurry an incompletion on third-and-long by
American River starting QB Jihad Vercher.
Then, with CSM getting the ball back to start
the second quarter, Brown started working
some magic reminiscent of American Rivers
quarterback act of a year ago.
Brown connected with sophomore wide
receiver Johnny Niupalau four times for 59
yards on the day. Two of those came in the

SEATTLE In an otherwise forgettable

season, Mark Canha became one of the few
bright spots of optimism for the Oakland
Athletics.
Canha hit his 16th home run of the season
on Sunday as Oakland closed the season

Mariners. Seth Smith hit a solo home run
for Seattle with two outs in the eighth
inning as the Mariners rallied and kept the

save, a night after blowing a save opportunity.
Seattle lost nine of its final 11 games
after getting back within three games of
.500 on Sept. 22. The Mariners were a popular pick to win the AL West before the season, but now have the longest playoff
drought in the major leagues 14 years
since their last postseason appearance.
This club is in a much better position
now than the first day that I got here,
Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said.
Gordons most prolific target this season.
The freshman out of Serra paces the Rams
with 35 catches for 634 yards, including four
catches for 109 yards Saturday.
Antoine is as good as it gets, but Aesop
has been our go-to guy, Gordon said. Weve
been going to him on deep passes.
Gordons first completion to Porter came in
the first quarter on third-and-10 from the
Modesto 39-yard line. Preceded by a pair of
incompletions, Gordon actually got sacked
on the initial third-down play, though the
down was replayed after offsetting personal
fouls. Gordon cashed in with a 10-yard chuck
to Porter. Three plays later, running back
Elijah Dale who had 26 carries for 96 yards
and three touchdowns pounded the ball in
for a 1-yard score.
Gordon went on to throw first-half touchdowns of 43 yards to Erik Phillips, 56 yards to
Winston and 54 yards to Porter. He also threw
two interceptions. The Rams took a 27-13
lead into halftime, then traded single touchdowns with Modesto in each the third and
fourth quarters.
On the heels of Gordons epic passing performance, CCSF enters into a bye week. The
Rams open Bay 6 Conference play Oct. 17
against winless Foothill.

There are a lot of good things going on

with this club.

Changed delivery
Oakland starter Chris Bassitt threw six
innings, giving up just five hits and two
runs, but lost a chance for his first win since
early August when Jesus Sucres groundout
scored a run in the sixth to pull Seattle even
at 2-2.
Bassitts one issue was control. He
walked five and attributed that to changes in
his delivery.

One-run misery
The As finished with 35 one-run losses,
the most in the major leagues.
Its not a good feeling to lose period, let
alone another one-run loss, Melvin said.

No home run champ for Ms

Nelson Cruz did not play on Sunday after
straining a groin muscle in the ninth inning
of Saturdays loss. He missed out his final
chance to catch Baltimores Chris Davis for
the major league lead in home runs. Cruz
finished the season with 44 home runs, but
failed to become the second Seattle player
to lead baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. hit 56
homers in 1997 to lead the majors. The 44
homers are the most by any Seattle player
since Griffey hit 48 in 1999.

GIANTS
Continued from page 11
inning before the Rockies rallied.
This season, Carlos Gonzalez and third
baseman Nolan Arenado combined to hit 82
home runs and drive in 227 runs, the most
productive duo in Rockies history since Todd
Helton and Larry Walker combined for 87
homers and 269 RBIs in 2001.
Its unfortunate our record wasnt better
and him not being considered one of the
favorites for that MVP award, Morneau said
of Arenado. I still think he should be. What
he meant to this team both offensively and
defensively, I dont think theres anybody
who does what he does on both sides of the
baseball. Hes the best defensive third baseman Ive ever seen.
The Giants finished 84-78, a year after
winning 88 games in the regular season and
going on to take their third World Series title
in five seasons.
Rex Brothers (1-0) pitched a scoreless
eighth for the win. George Kontos (4-4)

MLB playoffs
Wild card playoff matchups set
All of the Major League Baseball playoff
matchups were set Sunday on a final day of
the regular season mostly devoid of drama.
The Texas Rangers helped locked in the
pairings by routing the Los Angeles Angels
to win the AL West.
The real intrigue begins Tuesday night at
Yankee Stadium. Thats
when the postseason
opens with All-Star lefthander Dallas Keuchel and
the Astros taking on New
York ace Masahiro Tanaka
in the AL wild-card game.
On Wednesday night,
22-game winner Jake
Arrieta and the Chicago
Dallas Keuchel Cubs still trying for
their first World Series championship since
1908 visit 19-game winner Gerrit Cole
and the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wildcard matchup.
Pittsburgh topped Cincinnati 4-0, ensuring it will host the Cubs.
The Astros-Yankees winner will play at
Kansas City in the best-of-five Division
Series on Thursday. The same day, Texas
visits AL East champion Toronto.
The NL Division Series begins Friday with
the New York Mets at the Los Angeles
Dodgers and the Cubs-Pirates winner at St.
Louis.
took the loss.
Buster Posey drove in
his 95th run for the
Giants, who won the NL
wild-card game last season.
Rockies closer John
Axford walked two, sandwiched around a double,
Jeremy Affeldt to load the bases in the
ninth. He struck out Matt
Duffy and got Posey to ground out to end the
game.
The Rockies finished the year with 68 victories, two more than last year. It was their
fifth straight losing mark.
Affeldt, who announced his retirement last
week, recorded the first two outs of the sixth
before leaving to a standing ovation.
Affeldt hugged manager Bruce Bochy and
the gathered infielders before heading off the
mound for the final time and acknowledging
the fans.
The Giants recorded their 408th consecutive sellout, the longest active streak in the
majors. They drew 3,375,882 this year,
7,285 more than in 2014.
San Francisco, which clinched the NL team
batting crown, started six rookies.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Unbeaten Cal off to Raiders foiled by last-second field goal

best start since 07
By Jay Cohen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY Jared Goff got off to a

shaky start and still threw for 390 yards and
four touchdowns to lead No. 24 California to
a 34-28 victory over Washington State
Saturday in the Golden Bears first game as a
ranked team in six years.
Goff threw an early interception and was
off target on a few throws
before
finding
his
groove. He threw two TD
passes in a span of less
than 2 minutes late in the
third quarter surrounding
a successful onside kick
to erase an eight-point
deficit and lead the Bears
(5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) to their
Jared Goff
best start since 2007.
Luke Falk threw two touchdown passes
and ran for another score for the Cougars (22, 0-1), who have lost 28 of their past 28
games against ranked opponents.
Washington State was in position to
reverse that trend after Falk threw a 4-yard
TD pass to Gabe Marks midway through the
third quarter and Kenny Lawler lost a fumble
on Cals ensuing possession.
Stefan McClure then changed the tide on a
safety blitz that gave Cal one of its seven
sacks on the day. Erik Powell then missed a
40-yard field goal wide right and Goff took
over from there.

Stanford 55, Arizona 17

STANFORD Christian McCaffrey ran for
156 yards and a touchdown, Remound Wright
scored three times and No. 18 Stanford overwhelmed Arizona 55-17 Saturday night.
Kevin Hogan threw for 217 yards and two
touchdowns to help the Cardinal (4-1, 3-0
Pac-12) win their fourth straight after an
opening loss to Northwestern. Hogan also
moved into fifth place on Stanfords career
passing yardage list.
Barry Sanders added a 65-yard touchdown
run for Stanford, which scored 40 or more
points in third straight games for the first
time in 14 years. The Cardinal have scored
at least 37 points in five straight against
the Wildcats (3-2, 0-2).

Auburn 35, San Jose State 21

AUBURN, Ala. Peyton Barber rushed for
five touchdowns, including a decisive 36yarder, and Auburn rolled to a 35-21 win over
San Jose State (2-3) Saturday to snap a twogame losing streak.
The Tigers (3-2) forced four turnovers to help
overcome Tyler Ervins 160 rushing yards.

CHICAGO David Carr was just OK on

Sunday. Amari Cooper was shut out in the
second half, and Latavius Murray made two
big mistakes.
A little road success had a bitter aftertaste
for the Oakland Raiders.
Charles Woodsons interception set up
Sebastian Janikowskis go-ahead field goal
with 2:05 left, but Oakland was unable to
stop Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears on a
12-play drive to Robbie Goulds winning
49-yard field goal with two seconds remaining in a 22-20 victory.
It was a return to normal for the Raiders
(2-2) after they stopped an 11-game road
slide with a 27-20 win at Cleveland last
Sunday. They were held to 243 yards on
offense after they rolled to 469 yards in the
victory against the Browns.
Its a fight every week, Woodson said.
Last week was a great win, to go on the
road and get a victory in Cleveland. But the
name of the game is consistency.
Cooper had 134 yards receiving against
the Browns, and Murray rushed for a career-

49ERS
Continued from page 11
for 160 yards and a 55.4 passer rating. Carlos
Hyde was held to 20 yards on eight carries.
All of this on a day home run king Barry
Bonds and the NBA champion Golden State
Warriors were in attendance.
Weve got to collectively on offense have
11 guys going in the same direction, coach
Jim Tomsula said.
In the third, Green Bay capitalized shortly
after San Franciscos Reggie Bush was stuffed
for no gain trying to go up the middle on
third-and-11 in a play call that was immediately scrutinized.
On the ensuing drive, James Jones caught a
38-yard pass on the left sideline by barely staying in bounds. Rodgers then scrambled 17 yards
to set up John Kuhns 1-yard scoring burst.
Green Bay made just enough plays. The
Packers sacked Kaepernick on consecutive
snaps late in the first half, and the Niners settled for Phil Dawsons 33-yard field goal in
their best scoring opportunity of the day.
Were an offense that can run the ball and
throw the ball, Smith said. Were not doing
either well right now.
Clay Matthews added his own flair to this
one. When he sacked Kaepernick in the third
quarter, he kissed his right biceps

field goal with just seconds remaining to beat
the Raiders 22-20 Sunday at Soldier Field.
high 139 yards. But they struggled against
the Bears (1-3), who got their first win
under coach John Fox.
Cooper was double-teamed for much of the
Kaepernick-style to punctuate the play
one of Green Bays six sacks to give the team
13 in the past two games.
The Packers certainly hope their trip to
Levis Stadium will be the first of two this
season. The Super Bowl comes to the secondyear, $1.3 billion Bay Area venue in four
months for its 50th year celebration.
Rodgers passed for 224 yards and a touchdown, ran 17 yards to set up a key secondhalf score to lead the Packers to their first 40 start in four years.
Green Bay went on the road after a Monday
night game for just the fifth time since 2006,
improving to 4-1 in those games. The
Packers also improved to 10-2 during the regular season in California since 1990.
Were 4-0, were first in the division and
were playing the kind of ball we want to
play in most of the phases, Rodgers said
matter-of-factly when asked to assess his
team. It was a grind out there.
Richard Rodgers caught a 9-yard touchdown pass on the games opening drive
before Aaron Rodgers got his team going in
the second half after a slow start.
While methodical with nothing fancy, Green
Bay seemed unfazed with a short week and long
trip West after beating Kansas City last
Monday night. This is the teams first 4-0 start
since winning the initial 13 games in 2011.
Fortunately, we were able to wear them
down both offensively and defensively and
get a big road win, Matthews said.

day and finished with four receptions for 49

yards all in the first half. Murray juggled
a second-quarter pass from Carr right into
the arms of Bears linebacker Pernell
McPhee, who returned his first career interception 13 yards to the Oakland 15, setting
up the first of Goulds three field goals.
Murray also dropped a pitch for a costly
fumble in the fourth and finished with just
49 yards on 16 carries.
I think it starts with turnovers, said
Murray, who was benched toward the end of
the game. I was the root of two of those.
Its hard to win with that so I think thats
where it starts.
The Raiders still had a chance for their
third straight victory after Woodsons 62nd
career interception with about 7 minutes
left. Consecutive passes from Carr to
Michael Crabtree moved the ball to the
Oakland 47, and Roy Helu Jr. then broke off
a 12-yard run for another first down.
But Oakland stalled, and Janikowski connected from 41 yards with 2:05 left for a 2019 lead.
This was just one of those old-fashion

Continued from page 14

NFL fights, said Carr, who was 20 for 33 for 196 yards and two
touchdowns. Down to the wire. There was no lack of focus, or
lack of effort.
The Bears responded with a clutch 48-yard drive to Goulds
ninth field goal in nine tries this season. Martellus Bennett had
a 7-yard reception on fourth-and-5 from the Chicago 25, and
Eddie Royal had a 12-yard drive to get the Bears into Oakland territory.
We end up with a couple turnovers, Raiders coach Jack Del
Rio said. We werent very efficient on third down. Defense
couldnt get off the field. Those are a couple of areas that will
stand out. Well take ownership of what happened and look to
make corrections and move on.
Gould also connected from 54 yards, and Bennett finished with
11 catches for 83 yards and a touchdown. Cutler was 28 of 43 for
281 yards after missing a game because of a strained hamstring.
Cutler helped the Bears get off to a fast start with a 7-yard
touchdown pass to Royal on the first drive of the game, but the
extra point was blocked. Oakland then scored the next 14
points.
Carr threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Cooper that was initially ruled an incompletion, and then overturned by a replay
review. It was the second touchdown of the season for the rookie receiver.
The Raiders turned a botched exchange by the Bears into a goahead TD with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Helu scored on
a 4-yard reception.
NOTES: Janikowski matched Hall of Fame WR Tim Brown for

The Martian lands with $55M debut

By Jake Coyle

announced it had found evidence of

water on the surface of Mars a
cosmically fortuitous tie-in for a
movie that celebrates NASA ingenuity. Adapted from the Andy Weir
novel, The Martian more science-fact than science fiction
relishes pragmatic scientific problem solving and NASAs spirit of
exploration.
What separates this movie it
has the backdrop of science but
all of the science is presented in a
way thats very approachable for
all, said Chris Aronson, head of
distribution for Fox.
Aronson noted that the shift in
release date from Nov. 25 to early
October gave the film a more open
path at the box office, where it
could play well through the month.
The film added $45.2 million internationally.

REVIEW
Continued from page 1
Members of the Baywood Park
Homeowners Association contend that
building on a steep area with a history of
landslides is not safe and that a proposed
storm water collection system is untested
in residential conditions.
The Planning Commission is considering the final environment impact report
and whether to green light the project to
be built on slopes averaging 40 percent.
Many residents say the project will be
too disruptive to the neighborhood in
unincorporated San Mateo County.
One resident complained that the developer is planning to build a 15-foot retaining wall next to his backyard pool and
will be basically grading and removing
dirt just inches from his property.
The biggest difference between the previous proposal and the latest version is the
amount of grading needed and the
requirement of an emergency fire access
road because of the reduced number of
homes.
Aside from the project itself, some
neighbors have expressed frustration with
working with the developer, Dennis
Thomas, president of San Mateo Real
Estate, Inc. His name is absent on the
agenda item for the next hearing, however, replaced by John ORourke.
Neither could be reached for comment
Thursday.
The Planning Commission asked residents and Thomas to work together following the last attempt at approval and
have met at least 10 times to work out a
compromise.
At the Feb. 25 hearing, the Planning
Commission continued its discussion of
the project to a future hearing to allow the
applicant to present additional materials
to consider, as well as directing staff to
draft proposed findings for denial.
A staff report addendum which will dis-

cuss the submitted materials, as well as

include the draft proposed findings for
denial, will be posted online about a week
before the next hearing.
Originally, the plan first submitted in
2002 called for 26 houses and one 40-unit
condominium on 97 acres but residents
worried about landslides like one that
happened on Rainbow Drive. Another
proposal denied in June 2010 by the
Board of Supervisors sought 25 singlefamily dwellings on 27 parcels.
The applicant requested that deliberation of the project be continued to a future
hearing to allow an opportunity to make
revisions to the proposal and present additional materials to address some of the
initial concerns raised by the Planning
Commission.
Planning staff have prepared both findings for denial and findings for approval
the commission will consider.
One of the findings for denial is that the
site is physically unsuitable for the proposed density of residential development
due to the topography and that the design
of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements could potentially cause
substantial environmental damage.
One of the findings for approval, however, is that the site is physically suitable
for residential development. The 19
parcels proposed for development are of
sufficient size and shape to support single-family residences.
Another finding for approval is that the
design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat as none are located within 100 feet of a creek or stream.
The Planning Commission meets 9 a.m.
Oct. 14, Board of Supervisors Chambers,
400 County Center, Redwood City. The
final environmental impact review and
associated documents are available
online at planning.smcgov.org/ascensionheights-subdivision-project.

Matulis handled the bar at Station 1 in
Woodside before finding his way to downtown
Redwood City.
At Timber & Salt, the ice becomes part of the
show behind the bar.
His day starts by freezing water to make large
ice blocks that will be cut and shaved behind the
bar for the cocktails Matulis will serve including
Jalisco collins, Rio stars, early autumns, martinis,
Manhattans and the Zissous.
Most of the liquor behind the bar is 100 proof,
the best for making cocktails, he said.
The bar also has an extensive beer and wine list
that will also grow, he said. It now serves on draft
Firestone Pivo Pils and Almanac Dry Hopped
Sour Blonde among a few others. The wine list is
more extensive although it is only served by the
glass now. Bottle service is coming soon.
The restaurant also doesnt open up until 3 p.m.
In the future, brunch service is planned for the
weekends.

Take a peek into the kitchen and you will find

very little freezer space because they dont store
food. Fresh comes first.
With outdoor seating, Redwood Citys perfect
weather, downtown location and new developments being built right at its doorstep, Putney said
he hopes locals and out-of-town office workers
soon to flood the area both find their way to
Timber & Salt.
When they do, they can sample the pickled
potato chips made on site and the kimchee they
make in house.
They also bake bread, produce charcuterie, cure
the bacon and make soup stocks on site.
The restaurant caters, too.
The group at Timber & Salt hopes it becomes a
destination where people can come in and take
the stress off the day by connecting with other
people over a drink and bite.
The restaurant is located at 881 Middlefield
Road in downtown Redwood City.

The Tilton Avenue structure wont gain
any clearance since its the closest to San
Mateos downtown train station where the
tracks grading must remain the same.
However, the other three sites will be
raised allowing larger vehicles to pass
under the tracks, according to Caltrain.
In California, and particularly with the
bustling Peninsula crossing various fault
lines, many believe its only a matter of
time before the next quake hits. Seismic
upgrades to the long-standing bridges will
provide benefits to residents and those
driving through the neighborhoods,
according to San Mateo City Manager
Larry Patterson.
The Caltrain project will result in safer
bridges when the next major earthquake
occurs. Additional clearance over the

Continued from page 1
should it receive a majority of voter
approval.
The tax revenue would be spent to
address infrastructure maintenance needs
postponed during the Great Recession, as
well as improving the citys outdated public safety offices and other service facilities, officials claim.
The Municipal Services Building, at 33
Arroyo Drive, is no longer equipped to
serve as the home to police and fire
departments, plus accommodate the
demand of housing City Council chambers and a variety of other public services,
said Vice Mayor Mark Addiego.
Should the tax pass, the money could be
used to build a new police and fire station,
as well as library and recreation center
and pay for about $18 million in deferred
street maintenance and pothole repair. The
city does not currently have a local sales
tax in place.
Addiego said even as the economic
health of the city has improved in recent
years, due in part to improved sales, hotel
and property tax revenue, there is not
enough money to finance the substantial
cost of the needs set to be addressed by
Measure W.
Every year we can balance the budget,
but when it comes to these big ticket
items, we need another way to pay for
them, he said.
But Mark Hinkle, head of the Silicon
Valley Taxpayers Association, claimed
officials should work harder to address the
demands through the city budget, rather
than to look to taxpayers for additional
assistance.
He said since the maintenance has not
been addressed through the city budget,
he assumes it is not to be considered a priority, and claims residents should not face
additional taxes to finance projects which

will reduce disruptions to train service that
occurs whenever a tall vehicle bumps one
of the low bridges, Patterson wrote in an
email.
As part of the project that officially
started with site and vegetation clearing in
early 2014, retaining walls are being constructed to support the new higher and
thicker structures.
Residents were concerned clearing vegetation around the bridges would unearth
some unwanted vermin, which prompted
Caltrain to require its contractor include
vector control as part of its work,
Bartholomew said.
Residents surrounding the San Mateo
bridges have also experienced construction related to Caltrain installing positive
train control, a state-mandated upgrade
that will help prevent train-on-train collisions. That $231 million project is part of
the Caltrain Modernization Program a
massive system overhaul slated to electrify the tracks between Gilroy and San

Francisco.
San Mateos bridge replacements, while
not directly affiliated with the modernization program, is part of Caltrains ongoing
effort to update its infrastructure to
account for current standards as it experiences consistent monthly ridership
growth.
The regional transit agency is continuing to consider its San Mateo assets and is
also in the midst of seeking a partner to
construct a transit-oriented mixed-use
housing development atop its Hayward
Park Caltrain Station.
For now, the rotating street closures
along Tilton, Monte Diablo, Santa Inez
and Poplar avenues is officially underway
and will include portions of Railroad
Avenue also being shut to vehicle traffic.

are not a top concern of officials.

He also alleged officials have purposefully postponed maintaining the buildings
and infrastructure, with an eye to eventually asking taxpayers to finance their
reconstruction.
They could have funded these maintenance repairs, but those chose to fatten
their pensions and salaries, he said.
City Manager Mike Futrell disagreed,
and said the city has been responsible in
its fiscal management, which is a reason
why residents should feel confident in
supporting the tax measure.
He said he believed the tax would be the
least impactful way to help residents
address the needs of aging infrastructure,
which the city could not afford to maintain when revenue dipped with the economy.
Roughly half of the revenue generated
tax would come from purchases by visitors to South San Francisco, said Futrell,
and the tax would not be applied to groceries or services such as auto repair.
And as the tax money would be spent to
offer services residents have called for in
the past, Futrell said, the onus is now on
voters to approve a source of revenue to
supply them.
They have the ultimate decision and
need to ask themselves am I willing to
put my money where my mouth is? I
think they will, he said.
Hinkle though said he believes the city
should trim from its budget to make more
space to address the needs of residents.
The tax hike would not be necessary,
said Addiego, if the city still had access to
funds from its Redevelopment Agency,
which was among all those in California
disbanded by the state in 2011.
I dont think wed be here if we still
had redevelopment, he said.
But in light of the considerable needs of
the police and fire station at the Municipal
Services Building, as well as the emergency command center housed there, the
tax revenue is required to help keep resi-

dents safe, said retired deputy police chief

Mike Brosnan.
The building is not seismically sound,
which could be a tremendous source of
concern for police and firefighters housed
at the building who would be needed to
protect South San Francisco residents in
the case of a natural disaster, such as a
massive earthquake, said Brosnan.
And beyond the structural integrity of
the building, it is no longer fit to address
the demands of a current police and fire
department, he said, as a few cells are
being repurposed to hold evidence and the
locker rooms for female officers are
entirely inadequate.
The challenges posed by the building
also create an obstacle for the department
when trying to attract new officers to join
the force in South San Francisco, said
Brosnan.
As police departments are competing to
for new hires, South San Franciscos antiquated facilities put the city at a disadvantage when attempting to lure new officers
who are also being offered state of the art
amenities at other agencies.
Retention and recruitment are difficult
on the housing and facilities side, he said.
But according to Hinkle, officials
should have been more vigilant in managing their money to address the concerns
proposed to be financed through the tax
measure, before asking voters to approve
a fee hike.
And considering claims that current
buildings are in a state of disrepair due to
deferred maintenance, which Hinkle
attributed to poor decision-making, he
questioned whether South San Francisco
officials should be trusted with revenue
from the proposed tax measure.
He asked, If they let maintenance slide
over all these years, do we want to reward
that bad policy?
