High-speed rail back on track?

Public considers Peninsula portion that shares Caltrain corridor
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For the first time since Caltrain and highspeed rail officials decided to share the tracks
running along the Peninsula, members of the
community were invited to Burlingame
Wednesday evening for a presentation about
whats changed in the two years since a
tremendous amount of local concern altered
the future of the states first bullet train.
Dozens of citizens gathered for a preview
of whats to come as the California High-

Speed Rail Authority seeks to complete a twoyear environmental review of the Peninsula
portion of its pricey plans to run its train from
San Francisco to Los Angeles with a second
phase extending to Sacramento and San
Diego.
This is round two for high-speed rail proponents after their initial proposal to run the
train on new, elevated tracks through the busy
Peninsula and its numerous cozy neighborhoods was met with harsh opposition.
Yet new challenges have arisen since
Caltrain welcomed $705 million in high-

speed rail money to share its tracks and help

pay for the electrification of 51 miles of corridor between San Francisco and San Jose.
Some opponents expressed concern over
the number of trains slated to traverse the
Peninsula tracks between the two agencies,
20 trains could run each hour in both directions during busy commute times.
This could impact wait times for automobiles at already busy intersections leading
many community members to advocate for
grade separations in which the road is separated from the tracks.

With just 30 to 40 minutes for public comment after the two-hour open house, a range
of concerns bubbled to the microphone such
as the removal of trees, potential delays in
ambulance response times, exacerbated noise
from the increased number of trains and even
warnings the corridor could become a terrorist target.
But high-speed rail officials sought to
assure the community that the changed plans
address previous concerns while a new con-

Celebrating Italian heritage

By Jeanita Lyman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

When conjuring an image of Queen Isabella

of Spain, one wouldnt necessarily picture her
riding in an antique Cadillac through the
streets of San Francisco. But thats just the
image a Redwood City woman will be presenting this Sunday.
Lifelong civil servant Tami Del Bene,
named San Mateo Countys honorary Queen
Isabella for this years Columbus Day festivities, will be celebrating her Italian heritage and
honored for her community involvement at the
Peninsula Italian American Social Clubs
Genovese Night this Saturday. On Sunday, she
will represent San Mateo County in San
Franciscos Annual Italian Heritage Parade.
Im really excited just being able to represent our Italian heritage and culture and show
my children and grandchildren, Del Bene
said. I think its special for them.
Del Bene currently works as a Waste Zero
manager at Recology San Mateo County and
serves as a board member for San Mateo
County Sheriffs Activities League and the
Sequoia Awards, which provides scholarships
to young people who actively volunteer in the
community.

This isnt a beauty pageant, said Terry Anderlini,

Peninsula Italian American
Social Club parliamentarian. Were looking for
women who have achieved
something, been good the
community and are civic
leaders.
Del Bene grew up in
Tami Del Bene San Franciscos Sunset
district and learned to
value community service at a young age. Her
father was a police officer and a firefighter,
as were her uncles. I really did learn from
my mom and dad, Del Bene said, regarding
community service. Its just something we
do. Its second nature.
She started working at Recology San Mateo
County after 10 years as a travel agent as a
result of her community involvement.
I joined a beautification task force in San
Bruno because I wanted to be involved in something to beautify the city, Del Bene said.
She was offered a position as a recycling
coordinator and was attracted to it because of
the potential to help beautify the city on a larger scale. Shes been with the company ever
since. Del Bene was surprised to be nominated

as this years Queen Isabella by San Mateo

Mayor Maureen Freschet, who was named
queen for the festivities in 2013.
It was just a thrill when I got the call to ask
if I could be nominated, Del Bene said.
The Peninsula Social Club has been hosting
Columbus Day celebrations annually since the
1950s. The festivities have evolved over the
years, and this years format will have Del
Bene addressing those at the clubs Genovese
night this Saturday.
We have a pageant with Isabella and
Columbus dressed in period costumes,
Anderlini said. From 7 [p.m.] to 7:30 [p.m.] is
the ceremony where she promenades around,
and then she gets on a chair and she will receive
roses, and then she gets resolutions from elected officials and she herself gets a chance to
thank the audience and thank her friends for
showing up. Then people sit down for dinner.
Genovese Night will feature dinner and live
music from the Joe Simoni band starting at 6
p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $60 and proceeds
will go toward Mission Hospice and the
Peninsula
Social
Club
Scholarship
Foundation. Del Bene will be driven through
the city streets by San Mateo Police Chief
Susan Manheimer in San Franciscos Italian
Heritage Parade starting at 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

Vehicle-train strikes up dramatically this year

By Keith Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A dramatic increase in the number of vehicles hit by Caltrain commuter trains this year
has transit police and at least one city police
department working together to increase
enforcement efforts, a Caltrain spokeswoman
said Thursday.
Caltrains have hit six vehicles since Aug.
1, most recently on Wednesday night near
Bayswater Avenue in Burlingame, Caltrain
spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew said.

That is more than the number of vehicles hit

by the agencys trains in all of 2014,
Bartholomew said.
Its been unusually high this year, she
said.
In a Feb. 23 incident, a 30-year-old woman
died on Ravenswood Avenue in Menlo Park
when her car was struck, the only vehicle
strike to kill someone this year, according to
Bartholomew.
Caltrain officials are not sure why theres
been such an increase, but police are taking
action to prevent future crashes, she said.
Theres a few things that are happening in

terms of enforcement and education, she said.

Transit police and Burlingame police have
started working together to give out warnings,
citations and educate people on safety around
train tracks, she said.
Along with the incident Wednesday near
Bayswater Avenue, two other strikes have
happened in Burlingame at Broadway
Avenue, according to Caltrain.
Bartholomew said Caltrain previously had a
close relationship with a driver education program and agency officials are talking about
bringing rail safety education back to local
driving schools.

Hotel murder suspect broke

James Haarer Goss, charged with murder
Monday for allegedly stabbing a man to death
at a San Carlos hotel, will
be granted a private
defender despite making
claims he earned $30,000 a
month, according to the
San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Goss, 61, told a judge
Thursday that his wife has
frozen his assets and is
James Goss

learning of her husbands
arrest, according to prosecutors.
Goss, a resident of
Arnold,
California,
claimed he doesnt recall
how his acquaintance
Robert Alan Lawless ended
up dead in a room they
Robert Lawless shared at the LiA Hotel
Thursday morning, Oct. 1.
The two men, both who have criminal
records and were reportedly drinking the night
of Lawless death, met about two months earlier at a casino. Lawless, who has family in the
area, came down from Sonora the day before

he was found killed by multiple stab wounds to

his upper body.
Based on video surveillance from the hotel, a
call to paramedics and the coroners initial
report, Goss is believed to have stabbed
Lawless several dozen times sometime
between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Lawless reportedly borrowed Goss car
Wednesday evening and went to a party where
he met a woman. He returned to the hotel room
the men were sharing with the woman around
3 a.m.
The woman was then seen on surveillance
video giving Lawless a hug before she left
around 5 a.m., according to prosecutors.
Several hours later, Goss reported to hotel
staff that he awoke to find Lawless bleeding
and perhaps dead in the bed next to him. When
medics and San Mateo County sheriffs
deputies arrived, they pronounced Lawless
dead around 10:05 a.m., according to prosecutors.

according to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Walter Mitchell, 26, allegedly pointed a
handgun at a police officer before fleeing into
a large apartment complex and getting into a
standoff with a SWAT team for most of the
night.
The second suspect, however, remains a
fugitive.
Andre Dupree-Lafleur Jr., 22, was also
arrested shortly after the two crashed while
fleeing from officers in San Mateo.
Mitchell and Dupree-Lafleur allegedly broke
into cars in the Central Parking Garage at East
Fourth and Ellsworth avenues at about 7:20
p.m. Jan. 7.
They fled the area in a silver Acura and
police spotted a car with that description nearby on East Fourth Avenue.
They attempted to stop the car, but the driver fled, lost control of the car and crashed into
another car, a tree and a pole, according to
prosecutors.
Both occupants ran from the crash scene and
Mitchell allegedly pointed a handgun at a
police officer as he fled. Dupree-Lafleur was
found walking nearby, prosecutors said.
Mitchell allegedly fled into a large apartment

Police sur-

The standoff lasted until about 12:30 a.m. the
next day, when Mitchell came out of the front
door and surrendered, prosecutors said.
Mitchell was released from jail and will be
back in court Dec. 4 for sentencing.

Former mobile home park

bookkeeper sentenced for theft
A former bookkeeper at a Daly City mobile
home park was sentenced to jail and probation
Thursday after pleading no contest to embezzling as much as $30,000 from her job in 2011
and 2012.
Alisi Kalamafoni-Gantt, 41, pleaded no contest to one count of embezzlement in August in
exchange for no prison time. Judge Leland
Davis sentenced her to 120 days in jail followed by 5 years of probation, San Mateo
County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
She was ordered to surrender to serve the jail
sentence on Dec. 5.
Kalamafoni-Gantt was the bookkeeper for
the Franciscan Mobile Home Park at 700
Hoffman St. in Daly City until she quit in May
of 2012 and moved to Oregon, prosecutors
said.
The company that owned the mobile home
park hired a former police officer as its new
property manager who uncovered that
Kalamafoni-Gantt had embezzled up to
$30,000 over the previous year.
She will also have to return to court on Jan.
15 to determine how much restitution she
owes, Wagstaffe said.

Clinton seeking a crackdown on

those breaking Wall Street rules
By Lisa Lerer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Just days before

the first Democratic debate, Hillary
Rodham Clinton released a series of proposals aimed at cracking down on bad
behavior by Wall Street, vowing that
individual bankers who violate the law
will be prosecuted and imprisoned.
A new proposal released by her campaign would impose a graduated risk
fee on financial companies with more
than $50 billion in assets that would
increase as companies hold greater
amounts of debt to discourage excessive
risk. Clintons campaign estimates that
banks and other institutions would pay
an annual charge of multiple billions of

dollars, according to a summary provided by the campaign.

A separate tax would be levied on
high-frequency trading, targeting trading
strategies that involve significant numbers of order cancellations, a practice
her campaign says makes markets less
stable and less fair.
There are risks in our financial system that could still cause another crisis,
Clinton wrote in an op-ed published in
Bloomberg View. To prevent irresponsible behavior on Wall Street from ever
again devastating Main Street, we need
more accountability, tougher rules and
stronger enforcement.
Liberal Democrats have spent months
calling on Clinton to take a more aggressive approach to regulating Wall Street.

In recent weeks, Vermont Sen. Bernie

Sanders has gained ground against her in
early primary states with a populist economic message that vows to take on the
billionaires.
Given the image of big banks today,
it is easy now to take on Wall Street. I
was there when it was not so popular,
Sanders said, in a statement.
Clintons close ties to Wall Street and
the centrist economic policies of the
administration of her husband, former
President Bill Clinton, make some in her
party skeptical of her populist credentials. Both Clintons have earned millions
in speaking fees, including some from
Wall Street banks, and daughter Chelsea
and her husband have worked at hedge
funds.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation

Thursday requiring California to phase out the use of microscopic exfoliating beads in personal care

that they are showing up in the bodies of
fish and other wildlife after passing
through water filtration systems without
disintegrating.
Assemblyman Richard Bloom, D-Santa
Jerry Brown
Monica, said his bill, AB888, seeks to

which can contain various toxins.
AB888 was carefully crafted to avoid any loopholes that

Measure to repeal California

vaccine law wont be on ballot
SACRAMENTO Proponents of an effort to repeal
Californias new stricter law requiring mandatory vaccines for
school children failed to submit enough signatures to qualify a
ballot initiative asking voters to repeal the law.
County election clerks reported receiving fewer than
234,000 of the 366,000 signatures needed to ask California
voters to repeal the law, according to figures provided to the
secretary of states office and posted online Thursday. The new
state law struck down the states personal belief exemption for
immunizations, a move that requires nearly all public schoolchildren to be vaccinated.
Six counties reported they received the petitions after the
Sept. 28 deadline for submission.

Rubios presidential bid boosted by secret-money commercials

By Julie Bykowicz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Voters are beginning to learn about Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio.
What theyre not learning, however, is
who is paying to promote his candidacy.
The Florida senator is benefiting in
unprecedented ways from a nonprofit
group funded by anonymous donors.
While other presidential candidates also

have ties to secretmoney groups, the

Rubio arrangement
is the boldest.
Every pro-Rubio
television commercial so far in the
early primary states
of
Iowa,
New
Hampshire
and
Marco Rubio
South Carolina has
been paid for not by his campaign or

even by a super PAC that identifies its

donors, but instead by a nonprofit called
Conservative Solutions Project. Its also
sending Rubio-boosting mail to voters in
those same states.
Rubio is legally prohibited from
directing the groups spending, and he
has said he has nothing to do with it. But
theres little doubt that Conservative
Solutions Project is picking up the tab
for critical expenses that the campaign
itself might struggle to afford.

Kevin McCarthy abruptly

withdraws his candidacy
for speaker of the House
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Confronting
insurmountable obstacles, Majority
Leader Kevin McCarthy suddenly
withdrew from the contest for
speaker of the U.S. House on
Thursday, shocking colleagues just
before they were to vote and producing ever-deeper chaos for a
divided Congress.
We need a new face, McCarthy
declared after a closed-door meeting where House Republicans were
prepared to nominate him as speaker but instead listened in disbelief as
he took himself out of the running.
If we are going to be strong, weve
got to be 100 percent united.
Allies said that even though he
would certainly have emerged the
winner from Thursdays secret-ballot election of Republicans,

McCarthy had concluded he did not

have a path to getting the needed
218-vote majority in the full House
later this month. A small but determined bloc of conservatives had
announced they were opposing him,
and they commanded enough votes
to block him on the floor.
These same lawmakers, members
of the hardline House Freedom
Caucus, pushed outgoing Speaker
John Boehner to announce his resignation just two weeks ago by threatening a floor vote on his speakership. Some of them cheered the
announcement by Boehners No. 2.
The establishment has lost two
speakers in two weeks. K Street
must be shaking in their boots.
Mitch McConnell must be shaking
in his boots, too, said Rep. Tim
Huelskamp of Kansas, naming the
Republican majority leader of the
Senate.
One immediate impact, however,

might be to prolong Boehners
tenure. The Ohio Republican, who
had intended to leave Oct. 30, said
he would stay on until the House
votes to elect a new speaker.
The man most widely seen as a

potential speaker in McCarthys

place immediately ruled it out.
While I am grateful for the
encouragement Ive received, I will
not be a candidate, said Rep. Paul
Ryan of Wisconsin, the former vice

presidential nominee who now

chairs the Ways and Means
Committee. But Ryan was under
intense pressure to reconsider,
including from Boehner and
McCarthy himself.

VW executive apologizes but says scandal not his fault

By Michael Biesecker
and Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Volkswagens top U.S. executive

offered deep apologies yet sought to
distance himself Thursday from the
emissions scandal enveloping the
worlds largest automaker, asserting
top corporate officials had no

knowledge of
the
cheating
s o f t w a r e
installed in 11
million diesel
cars.
Though
he
said he hadnt
been briefed on
Michael Horn the preliminary
findings of the
ongoing internal investigation,

Volkswagen of America CEO

Michael Horn told a congressional
subcommittee that a tiny group of
software developers in Germany
was responsible for the computer
code that enabled the cars to trick
U.S. government emissions tests.
Three lower-level managers have
been suspended.
To my understanding this was
not a corporate decision, this was
something individuals did, Horn

said, adding that he felt personally

deceived.
That explanation left members of
the House panel investigating the
scheme incredulous.
I agree its very hard to believe,
Horn conceded.
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., was
among the lawmakers who said he
couldnt accept VWs characterization that this was the work of a
couple of rogue engineers. Collins,

an engineer, suggested that such a

far-reaching cheating strategy
couldnt be pulled off without the
complicity of high-ranking supervisors across several parts of the company.
What Ive picked up here and I
hope you can relay back to your
board,
the
folks
running
Volkswagen back in Germany, is
that the response so far is inadequate, Collins said.

Airman who thwarted French

train attack stabbed in brawl
By Don Thompson and Julie Watson

People inspect a site hit by what activists said were cluster bombs dropped by the Russian air
force in Maasran town, in the southern countryside of Idlib, Syria.

Clashes grow in Syria from

Russian-backed offensive
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria Clashes intensified

Thursday between Syrian troops and insurgents
in central and northwestern Syria, part of what a
top general called a wide-ranging offensive
aided by Russian airstrikes and apparently
aimed at clearing positions near government
strongholds on the coast.
U.S. defense officials said as many as four of
the 26 long-range cruise missiles that Russia
said Wednesday it fired at Syria landed instead
in Iran, but it was unclear if they caused any significant damage. Russia said all of its missiles
fired from warships hit their targets.
Russias involvement in Syria, which began
with airstrikes Sept. 30 and escalated
Wednesday with cruise missiles, raises serious
concerns, NATO Secretary-General Jens
Stoltenberg said after a meeting of the alliances
defense ministers in Brussels.
Russia says its air campaign in Syria is aimed
against militants of the Islamic State and alQaida-linked groups, but the West accuses it of
intervening to support President Bashar against
even moderate rebels in the civil war.
The Syrian governments multipronged
offensive began Wednesday, and state-run

media said it seized several villages in central

Syria, with fighting continuing Thursday. The
government media and activists reported heavy
fighting in Sahl al-Ghab, a vital plain bordering
Assads stronghold of Latakia on the
Mediterranean.
The plain also lies between Hama and Idlib,
the northwestern provinces seized from government troops in September. Insurgents have been
advancing there since summer, threatening the
coastal region where Assads family and the
Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shiite Islam,
are concentrated. The Islamic State also
known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh has strongholds in Raqqa and Aleppo provinces, while
Syrias al-Qaida affiliate, the Nusra Front, has a
strong presence in Idlib.
Gen. Ali Ayoub, the Syrian armys chief of
staff, said Russias airstrikes had weakened the
Islamic State fighters and other insurgents so
that his troops could keep up the initiative.
Today, the Syrian Arab armed forces began a
wide-ranging attack with the aim of eliminating
the terrorist groups and liberating the areas and
towns that suffered from their scourge and
crimes, Ayoub said in rare televised remarks.
The government uses the term terrorists to
refer to all armed opposition groups in Syria.

SACRAMENTO Airman 1st Class

Spencer Stone, celebrated as a hero for helping to stop a terror attack on a French train
over the summer, was stabbed and seriously
wounded outside a bar in his hometown early
Thursday in what police said was an alcoholrelated brawl.
Stone, 23, was knifed three times in the
upper body but was expected to survive after
about two hours of surgery, said Dr. J.
Douglas Kirk, chief medical officer at UC
Davis Medical Center.
This incident is not related to terrorism in
any way, Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard
said. We know its not related to what
occurred in France months ago.
A grainy surveillance video from a camera
outside a liquor store showed a man who
appeared to be Stone fighting with several
people at an intersection. The group spilled

into the street as people

took swings at each other,
and one person got
knocked down.
Police
said
two
assailants fled in a car. No
immediate arrests were
made.
Bernard said Stone was
Spencer Stone out with four friends when
they got into a fight with
another group of people. The deputy chief
would not say what sparked the argument. He
said there was no evidence the assailants knew
who Stone was.
Bernard said he did not know whether Stone
was drinking, but others in his group were.
Kirk said Stone remained heavily sedated in
the hospitals intensive care unit. He declined
to discuss any details about the surgery or
whether any vital organs were damaged in the
stabbing, beyond saying Stone had significant injuries.

Nobel literature prize winner

transcends easy categories R
By Yuras Karmanau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINSK, Belaru With a reporters eye

and an artists heart, Svetlana Alexievich
writes of the catastrophes, upheaval and personal woes that have afflicted the Soviet
Union and the troubled countries that succeeded it. Her writings, characterized by plain
language and detail so visceral its sometimes
painful to read, won her this years Nobel literature prize.
She is an unusual choice. The Swedish
Academy, which picks the prestigious literature laureates, has only twice before bestowed
the award on non-fiction to Winston
Churchill and Bertrand Russell and had
never honored journalistic work with a Nobel.
Alexievichs work straddles the divide.
Much of her books are essentially oral history,
where the voice is not hers and she chooses
only what to include. Her narrative passages
are straightforward, free of literary conceits.

calm amid spiraling attacks
JERUSALEM Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu sought to calm Israelis Thursday
as a wave of Palestinian stabbing attacks
spread deeper into Israel and clashes erupted
across the West Bank, vowing to combat the
growing violence without alienating international allies.
Netanyahu has come under fire from hardliners within his own governing coalition as
well as opposition lawmakers for not putting
an end to the surging violence, which erupted
weeks ago over tensions surrounding a
Jerusalem site revered by Muslims and Jews.
The unrest began with clashes between
Palestinian protesters and Israeli police within

Nothing is more fantastic
than reality. I want to evoke

Svetlana
to zinc coffins in which the

bodies of Soviet soldiers
killed in Afghanistan were shipped home.
Her goal is to communicate the history of
human feeling. The very fact that it transcends
any easy category is part of what makes it
great, said Andrew Kaufman, a Russian literature scholar at the University of Virginia.
The 67-year-old Alexievichs books have
been published in 19 countries, with at least
five of them translated into English. She also
has written three plays and screenplays for 21
documentary films. She is the 14th woman to

Yes on Measure W

ts easy to say no to sales tax increases

especially when the economy is
turning around and a city just realized
jumps in its sales, hotel and property taxes.
Why not just wait to use the additional
money for needed improvements, one might
ask.
Such is the case in South San Francisco,
whose ofcials are asking for a half-cent
sales tax hike to raise about $210 million
over about 30 years while its city coffers
grew 11 percent from the previous year. But
the fact of the matter is that even with the
additional revenue the city is receiving, it is
not nearly enough to fund a wide swath of
capital improvements needed right away. If
the city still had a redevelopment agency,
which the state did away with in 2012, that
would be a tool to address its facility needs.
But that tool no longer exists and cities
across the state are scrambling to come up
with new ways to make facility improvements.
The main facility improvements needed are
new or rebuilt police and re stations, along
with a new civic center, currently housed in
an old department store. How it got there is a
long tale, but it was meant to be a temporary
situation in the 1970s. Other improvements
set to be made with Measure W include a
new library and recreation center, which are
sorely needed in the city. After those
improvements, there might be some money
left over, and that will likely go toward street
and parks improvement and to pay for city
programming for its residents. This measure
would enable the city to make wide-scale

Editorial
improvements and capitalize on several large
projects rather than spreading it out and eliminating the possibility for economies of scale.
The tax would generate about $7 million a
year and would also enable the city to borrow money now based on the anticipated revenue and take advantage of construction
costs now before they rise even more.
With the city in the midst of a plan to revitalize its downtown and nally move its train
station to a better location, South San
Francisco is poised to manage its growth
through a well-envisioned and inclusive
process. It is in the character of the city,
which successfully transitioned from farms
and dairies to an industrial city and then,
when those industries were no longer viable,
took advantage of its location to become the
birthplace of biotechnology. That took some
heavy lifting and foresight, and South San
Francisco was always able to make do with
its facilities. Now, however, is a chance to
reinvigorate the city with new facilities
brought forth after months of public planning
to create safe, seismically sound new or
refurbished buildings for its residents.
The council and city staff are trustworthy
and responsive and see a tremendous opportunity to have visitors to the city share in the
burden of paying a fraction more on each
purchase to create a new chapter for the storied city one that will see South San
Francisco refreshed and enlivened.
Vote yes on Measure W.

Vulnerable
community colleges
Editor,
I cringed Thursday when I read about
another shooting on a college campus. As a
former student and employee of the College
of San Mateo, the shooting at Umpqua
Community College and last months gangrelated murder on the campus of Sacramento
City College make me gravely concerned for
the safety of students and staff on the campuses of the San Mateo County Community
College District (SMCCD).
Until the mid-1990s, the college district
had its own campus police department.
Because of training costs and the naivete of
administrators, the district disbanded the
police department and transitioned to an
unarmed security force. The three colleges in
the district (College of San Mateo, Caada
College and Skyline College) are all located
in fairly remote locations with longer than
average response times from local law
enforcement. In an active shooter situation,
the only way to save lives is immediate
engagement with the shooter. This cannot be
achieved with long law enforcement

response times a tragedy like Umpqua

would likely be much worse if it occurred at
one of SMCCDs campuses. If college
administrators think that there are no guns
being illegally carried on their campuses, or
that there are no mentally ill people with ties
to their campuses who also have access to
guns, they are fools. While nobody likely
wants an enforcement-oriented campus
police department in a community college
environment, a service-oriented, well-trained
and properly equipped police department is
necessary to protect the staff and students at
San Mateo Countys three colleges.

Voter engagement
By Kevin Mullin

lection reform and boosting voter

turnout have been key legislative
priorities since I arrived in
Sacramento in 2012. To date, I have
authored eight bills designed to modernize
and reform the elections process, including
proposals to make sure every vote counts
and increase voter participation. One of those
bills, Assembly Bill
2028, has led to this
years All-MailedBallot election.
AB 2028 was implemented to examine the
effect of all-mail elections on voter turnout.
Given San Mateo Countys highly urban
and diverse population, the data available
for analysis will be critical in helping the
Legislature evaluate the programs effectiveness. Another benefit of all-mail elections is cost-savings, something we can all
appreciate.
I worked with Chief Elections Officer
Mark Church and his staff to ensure all
jurisdictions were comfortable with participating in the pilot program. Its a significant commitment, but one that has the
potential to shape the way elections are
conducted throughout California in the
future.
The countys Elections Office is doing a
tremendous job of making information
available to voters. As a matter of fact, ballots should be arriving in mailboxes soon if
they havent already. If your ballot doesnt
arrive, or if you have questions, you can
call the Elections office at (650) 312-5222
or visit www.shapethefuture.org.
I also introduced three additional elections related bills during the recently completed legislative session. If signed by Gov.
Brown, AB 44 and AB 477 will contribute
to voter engagement; both bills ensure the
voting process is fair and transparent and
that every vote counts.
AB 44, the recount bill, reforms the
states current recount law by creating a
state-funded recount process in very close
statewide elections. I introduced this bill in
response to the deep flaws exposed in the
existing process during last years state

Gap shares fall on poor sales at Banana Republic
NEW YORK The creative director for Gaps Banana
Republic brand is stepping down after 18 months in that role.
The move announced Thursday comes as the chain, which
also operates Old Navy and Gap stores, reported a sharp drop
for a key revenue measure in September for the upscale brand.
It marked the third-straight month of declines that were all in
the double digits.
Marissa Webb, who was hired to re-energize the Banana
Republic brand and is known for her oversized jackets, will
transition into a creative-adviser role affording her more
time to focus on her own collection, Gap Inc. said in a statement.

Amazon challenges Etsy with Handmade at Amazon

NEW YORK Amazon is launching its site for handcrafted goods called Handmade at Amazon on Thursday, hoping to
capitalize on shoppers appetite for homemade goods ahead of
the holiday season.
The move throws down the gauntlet to craft-selling site
Etsy. But at least at the time of launch, the two sites will have
a very different seller base, fee structure and stances on manufacturing.

Netflix raising U.S. price for most popular video plan by $1

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Netflix is raising the price of its Internet video service
by $1 for new customers in the U.S.,
Canada and some Latin America countries to help cover its escalating costs for
shows such as House of Cards and
other original programming.
The new price of $10 per month for
Netflixs standard plan its most popular marks the second time in 17
months that Los Gatos company has
boosted its U.S. rates by $1. The trend
reflects the financial pressure that
Netflix is facing as it competes against
Amazon.com, HBO and other services
for the rights to TV series and movies
that will expand its audience.
Netflixs 42 million existing U.S. sub-

scribers are being insulated from the

price bump. Thats a move CEO Reed
Hastings is taking in an effort to avoid a
repeat of the customer backlash that
stung the company four years ago when
it raised rates by as much as 60 percent
for subscribers who wanted Internet
video and DVD-by-mail rentals.
The abrupt price increase in 2011 triggered an exodus that cost Netflix more
than 800,000 subscribers and caused its
stock to lose 80 percent of its value in a
tumultuous 13-month period.
The experience taught Netflix to
reward its existing subscribers as higher
prices are phased in on new customers.
Subscribers who have been with
Netflix since May 2014 will still pay $8
per month under a two-year rate freeze
adopted when the company last raised its
U.S. prices by $1. Customers who

signed up since the last price increase

will pay $9 per month until October
2016. Netflixs audience continued to
expand after last years price increase, a
pattern that investors appear confident
that will be occur again with the latest
uptick in rates. Netflixs stock surged
$6.83, or 6.8 percent, to $114.93
Thursday.
Wall Street has been hoping Netflix
would increase its prices because its
profit margins have been shrinking as
the companys expenses climb for programming and an aggressive international expansion.
Netflix Inc.s programming costs are
expected to rise from $3 billion this year
to $5 billion next year. The research firm
Ampere Analysis predicts Netflix will
be paying $6 billion annually for its lineup by 2018.

NEW YORK Signs that the

pushed stocks broadly higher on
Thursday, adding to what has been a

The Dow Jones industrial average

Stocks spent most of the morning little changed, but moved steadily higher
after investors had a chance to work
through the minutes from the Feds
September policy meeting.
In the minutes, Fed officials
expressed confidence that the U.S.
economy was improving, citing the
improving job market. But policymakers had concerns that inflation continues to remain abnormally low, noting
the recent drop in commodity prices,
which were a major reason why the

Fed did not raise interest rates.

The Fed has kept interest rates near
zero for nearly seven years now. The
Fed has repeatedly signaled it wants to
raise interest rates, but it has held off
on doing so.
The Federal Reserve is waiting for
the ideal time to raise rates. But, for
those who live in the real world, we
know that there is not a perfect time
to raise interest rates, said David
Libovitz, global market strategist at
JPMorgan Funds.
Scott Clemons, chief investment
strategist
for
Brown

Harrimans wealth management business, said investors no longer expect
rates to go up this year, even though
Chair Janet Yellen has said thats likely
to happen. He added that the central
bank is beginning to falter in communicating to investors what its plans
are.
The market has begun to conclude
that theyre the boy who cried wolf
where raising interest rates are concerned, Clemons said.
The price of oil rose Thursday as the
dollar weakened, making oil more
attractive to overseas buyers, and on

withkeywin
Game of the Week

By Nathan Mollat

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A new wrinkle has added renewed interest in

one of the best football rivalries in the
Peninsula Athletic League.
With Aragons newfound reliance on the
passing game, it changes the type of pressure
the Dons will put on defenses. For the last couple of decades under coach Steve Sell, Aragon
has been a run first-, second- and third-down
team.
Burlingame is familiar with that style of play
because the Panthers still employ that kind of
offense.
Well find out which offense is more effective
when the Dons make the short trip to
Burlingame for the PAL Bay Division opener 7
p.m. Friday in the Daily Journals Game of the
Week.
Both come into the showdown having gone
4-0 in non-league play this season. Aragon
beat San Mateo 42-28 two weeks ago, while
Burlingame topped South City, 26-14. This is
the 11th time they have met since 2001.
Aragon won six straight matchups from 2001
to 2007, but Burlingame has since won four in
a row dating back to 2010, including a 21-7 win
in the first round of the Central Coast Section
Division III tournament last year.
The emergence of Aragon quarterback Tanner
Nguyen, along with receivers Davion Cox and
Devin Grant gives the Dons an offensive element they have not enjoyed in years: a quickstrike ability.
Theyre very athletic. Theyre more spread
out. Their QB is tall, can throw a good ball,
said Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos.
They have athletes who are a threat to score
whenever they put their hands on the rock.
They throw really well. They put a lot of pressure on you defensively. They attack almost all
areas of the field and they do it really well.
Nguyen, a first-year starter, should go over
the 1,000-yard passing mark Friday night and
the combination of Grant and Cox give the
Dons the makings of a great 4x100 relay team.
Cox is only a sophomore who shows the
moves of a seasoned vet.
And dont expect the Dons to get away from
their aerial attack.
I dont want to confuse our kids at the
expense of being clever, Sell said. There have

Sophomore wide receiver Davion Cox is part of a new-look Aragon offense that emphasizes
the passing game over the ground attck.

With sole possession of first place in the

Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, the
reigning champion Menlo-Atherton Bears
showed they are still the class of the league.
Entering into play Thursday night as one
of two unbeaten teams in PAL Bay Division
play, along with Carlmont, the Bears (6-0 in
PAL Bay, 12-3 overall) soldiered past the
Scots in straight sets 25-22, 25-20, 30-28.
This is awesome, M-A head coach
Fletcher Anderson said. This is a big win,
and especially to do it in three games
against a good team. What it speaks to is the
talent of this team is huge.
The always tenacious Bears were nails on
defense, putting on a back-row exhibition
with four players in double-figure digs.
Junior libero Alexa Roumeliotis had a
match-high 17 digs, while junior setter
Kirby Knapp added 15. Jacqueline DiSanto
and Kiana Sales also had 12 digs apiece.
M-As back-row prowess carried over to
offense as well, as DiSantos pipe shot was
dialed throughout. The high-flying junior
soared for a team-high 13 kills, including
setting the tone in Game 1 with five kills,
an ace and two blocks.
I knew it was going to be a really tough
game, DiSanto said. Both teams came in
undefeated and it was really an intense game.
We really kept [the intensity] up through the
game. That was a really big step for us.
Game 1 was the most intense of the night,
with Carlmont (5-1, 13-6) making its case
as M-As top Bay Division rival this season.
Without star middle blocker Alexis Morrow
on the court through the opening set due to
illness, the Scots still jumped out to a 1612. Senior opposite hitter Elena Mateus had
four of her 11 match kills in Game 1, while
sophomore outside hitter Maya McClellan
added five of her match-high 14 kills.
But with Game 1 deadlocked 21-21, senior
opposite Leanna Collins roasted a rightside kill to give the Bears the lead for good.

Donaldson did not

The Rangers also lost their third baseman, Adrian Beltre, to a strained lower back.
He left after hitting an RBI single in the
third.
Rangers manager Jeff Banister said he
wasnt sure whether Beltre would be available for Game 2. In an effort to stay in the
game, Beltre had a cortisone shot after he
was injured sliding into second base in the
first.

M-A tennis cruising in PAL Bay

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Menlo-Athertons top two girls tennis singles, while having plenty in

common, have one major difference.
Both Lanie Van Linge and Julia Marks
are talented, wiry strong sophomores.
But for all the exuberant emotion Van
Linge shows on the court, Marks is
stoic as they come.
And while the No. 1 single Van Linge
didnt need to get worked up in leading
M-A to a 6-1 home victory Thursday
over San Mateo breezing to a 6-1, 60 over Aida Lowe in just under 40 minutes the usually ery sophomore was
impressed with Marks cool demeanor
in the days longest match.
I admire the way you cant tell if
shes up or down, Van Linge said.
The No. 2 single Marks was able to
hold off San Mateos upstart Ksenia
Vasilyev for a 7-6 (0), 7-6 (8) victory.
The 5-11 Vasilyev was making her varsity debut, and showed she has the
chops to possibly content for San
Mateos No. 1 single position over the
nal three weeks of the season. But
while she gave M-As sophomore a run
for her money, Marks grace under re
won the day.
With the second-set tiebreaker deadlocked at 8-8, Marks red a brilliant
forehand down the sideline to force
match point. Then, she broke
Vasilyevs serve with something of a
desperation shot; the serve to the deep
corner looked to be a certain ace, but
Marks used all of her 5-5 frame to return
it with a lunging stab, which Vasilyev
couldnt return to end the match.
[Vasilyev] has a really good serve,
Marks said. I wasnt trying to get anything on it. I was just trying to return
it.
Reigning Peninsula Athletic League
champion M-A is now 9-0 through
league play and poised for a repeat.
Whats more impressive is the way the
Bears are doing it. With 17 core players,
M-A head coach Tom Sorenson has
worked every one of them into the rotation at some point this year.
Its going very, very well,

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

M-A No. 1 doubles player Sally Carlson shows off her backhand in Thursdays 6-1
victory over San Mateo. Carlson and partner Julia Chang won in straight sets.
Sorenson said. I think by the end of the
season, when we have to play at the
CCS tournament, well know our lineup
because weve played [all 17 of our
players].
The most recent addition to the rotation is No. 3 doubles Ellen Murphy and
Ashley Wall, who won 6-3, 6-4 over
Sethmi Kachchakaduge and Katherine
Arackaparambil. It was Murphy and
Walls rst win of the season in just
their second match. Their debut came at
the Battle of the Bay tournament last
Friday with a rst-round loss.
M-As No. 1 doubles Sally Carlson
and Julia Chang got redemption with a
6-2, 6-3 win over Lauren Young and
Emily Chan. Not that Carlson and
Chang didnt win when the two teams
met earlier this season, but in that faceoff, Young and Chan took the match to
three sets. And last year, when Young
and Chan were freshmen, they defeated
Chang and a different partner.
I think we might even have a better
team this year, Chang said. Were all
really strong and most of our players are
underclassmen.
Carlson was a game-changer up front.
San Mateos sophomore tandem is
admittedly quite short. Chan is 5-3, and

she towers over the 5-foot Young.

Carlson, at 5-10, dominated at net.
Plus, as the second leading scorer on MAs lacrosse team last season, Carlson
also features quite a strong forehand.
I also play lacrosse, Carlson said.
So, thats natural for me. Its my
shooting motion.
But Chan and Young still made a
match of it with their consistent returns
and strong court coverage. In the end,
they just didnt have an answer for
Carlson.
Today wasnt really our day, Chan
said. I dont know what happened.
That girl was just really tall.
San Mateo was without ve of its
players, according to head coach Ed
Schuler. No. 3 single Elisa Kratzer had
the Bearcats lone win with a 6-4, 6-0
victory over Tessa Cho.
Im very proud of the effort they
brought, Schuler said. And M-A
always brings a good effort, so they did
well. It shows when the bell rings,
youve got to step up, and they did.
M-A No. 4 single Maggie Dong
defeated Beata Brenner 6-1, 6-0. M-A
No. 2 doubles Libby Kirk and Laura Kirk
defeated Deanna Chan and Lian Ting 75, 2-6, (10-7).

Houston takes Game 1 from Kansas City

By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Collin McHugh and

the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City
Royals at their own game Thursday night,
relying on sharp pitching and stingy defense
for a 5-2 victory in the opener of their AL
Division Series.
McHugh (1-0) allowed four hits, including a
pair of solo homers by Kendrys Morales,
while pitching around a 49-minute rain delay.
The right-hander lasted six innings before
turning the game over to his bullpen, which
scattered three runners over the final three
frames.
Tony Sipp, Will Harris and Oliver Perez got
the game to Luke Gregerson, part of
Oaklands wild-card collapse in Kansas City

last year. He handled the ninth to earn the

save.
George Springer and Colby Rasmus went
deep for the homer-happy Astros, but they
also scored via the same sort of small ball the
Royals used in reaching the World Series last
season.
Yordano Ventura (0-1) yielded three runs on
four hits and a walk in two innings for Kansas
City, but did not come back following the
delay. Chris Young served up Springers home
run with one out in the fifth, but tossed four
otherwise solid innings of relief.
The Astros, who struggled so mightily on
the road this season, have apparently solved
their woes just in time. They beat the Yankees
3-0 in New York in Tuesday nights wild-card
game, then took care of a Royals club built
specifically for spacious Kauffman Stadium.

Sagrika Jawadi, playing at No. 1 singles for the Dons, was
equally impressive, winning her match 6-1, 6-1.
Jessica Westmont and Magali de Sauvage rounded out the

Houston also made it the first time since

1970 that visiting teams won baseballs first
four postseason games, STATS said. The other
two times it happened were 1906 and 1923.
The Astros wasted no time getting Ventura
in trouble, loading the bases with nobody out
in the first inning. The hard-throwing ace settled down to retire the next three batters, but
Rasmus and Evan Gattis provided RBI groundouts to give Houston a 2-0 lead.
Jose Altuve tacked on another run in the
second with a single to right.
The Royals answered in the bottom half,
just as rain started to fall, when Morales
ripped McHughs 89 mph fastball down the
right-field line.
The rain became a downpour as the inning
progressed, and lightning sent fans scurrying
for the concourse.

6-, 6-0 at No. 1 singles, but Knights won the war as they
swept the rest of the matches.
Menlo (4-0 WBAL, 13-1 overall) lost only seven more
games in the remaining three singles matches. Taylor
Gould, at No. 3 singles, and Elika Eshghi at No. 4 singles,
both won their matches 6-2, 6-2.

When the game resumed, the Royals sent

Astros manager A.J. Hinch stuck with
McHugh even though he hadnt thrown a
pitch for nearly an hour.
Morales got the better of McHugh again in
the fourth, driving a 1-1 pitch over the wall in
right. Morales became the first Royals player
with two homers in a postseason game since
George Brett against Toronto in the 1985 AL
Championship Series.
Unfortunately for the Royals, Morales was
the only hitter who could solve McHugh. That
left the darlings of last years postseason facing a crucial Game 2 on Friday, when another

Bautista is expected to play

Pitching on 11 days rest, Price
(0-1) allowed five runs and five
hits in seven innings. He dropped
to 1-6 with a 4.79 ERA in 11 postseason games, and is 0-6 in six
playoff starts.
I expect to have better results,
a subdued Price said.

Price hit Odor with pitches in

consecutive plate appearances in
the third and fifth, and the Rangers
second baseman came around to
score both times, the second time
on Chirinos homer.
I think he relaxed a little bit
with the people at the bottom of

And Collins was just getting warmed
up. She went on to tab 12 match kills,
seven of which came in a dominant
Game 2.
[Collins] kind of felt like she wasnt getting her due swings (early in
Game 1), Anderson said. So, I think
it was a personal thing for her.
Game 2 saw Morrow enter the match,
and the senior middle was an immediate defensive impact. The totaled
seven match blocks, including four in
the second set.
Collins, however, was up to the
challenge in extending the M-A offensive assault to the pins. The Bears
jumped out to an early lead and were up
23-15 late. The Scots, however, put
some heat on the Bears when Mateus
went on a four-point service run,
including an ace, followed by consecutive points by Morrow with a kill,
then a block, to close to within 23-20.
But Collins put an end to the run
with a crusher off the right side to force
set point. Carlmont then committed
its sixth error of the set to put M-A up
2-0 in the match.
The Scots got even more erratic in
Game 3, committing 10 errors.
Nonetheless, Carlmont stayed with MA into extra point. Knapp gave the
Bears an early 12-9 cushion as the junior team captain went on a three-point
run from the service line.
I really wanted to make sure we
werent dropping sets, because weve
been doing that this year, Knapp said.
So I wanted to make sure we had the
momentum, because were a momentum team.
But the Scots still made a run at it and
eventually forced set point at 26-25 on
an ace by senior setter Natalie
Stainton. But M-A quickly swung the
momentum back its way and forced a
pair of match points, before DiSanto
finally ended it with her 13th kill.
Weve been working on getting a
lot of our players back-row swings,
Anderson said. And tonight it paid
off.

ZURICH Sepp Blatter is out of a job at FIFA. Michel

Platini might never even get there.
Two of the most powerful men in soccer were handed 90day suspensions by the FIFA ethics committee on Thursday,
essentially ending Blatters 17-year reign as president and
likely stunting Platinis chances of replacing him.
Both Blatter and Platini, former allies who turned into
rivals in the buildup to the most recent FIFApresidential election, have become embroiled in a Swiss criminal investigation. Blatter has been labeled a suspect and questioned by
authorities, while Platini was said to be somewhere between
a witness and a suspect.
Both maintain their innocence.
UEFAs 54 member nations are due to meet in Nyon,
Switzerland, next Thursday to discuss the worst crisis in its
history and the bid by Platini to succeed Blatter.
The 90-day suspensions for Blatter and Platini were
imposed after the Swiss authorities started investigating a
payment from FIFA to the former France midfield great in
2011 for work carried out at least nine years earlier.

Johnson has 2 TD receptions,

leads Colts over Texans 27-20
HOUSTON Andre Johnson had two touchdown catches
against his former team to help the Indianapolis Colts beat the
Houston Texans 27-20 on Thursday night.
Johnson, who spent his first 12 NFL seasons in Houston
before he was released in March, pushed the lead to 27-17 with
a 2-yard touchdown reception from Matt Hasselbeck in the
fourth quarter. Johnson finished with six catches for 77 yards.
The Colts (3-2) extended their AFC South winning streak to
an NFL-record 16 games.
Brian Hoyer, who replaced Ryan Mallett for Houston (1-4)
in the second quarter, threw a pass up for grabs that was intercepted by Mike Adams with less than 2 minutes left.
The 40-year-old Hasselbeck was filling in for Andrew Luck,
who missed his second straight game with a shoulder injury.
Hasselbeck may not have been 100 percent either, after missing practice Tuesday with an illness.
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

M-A outside hitter Jacqueline DiSanto capitalized on back-row swings to pace

the Bears with 13 kills in Thursdays critical three-set win over Carlmont.
Mateus was the emotional leader for
Carlmont, bringing plenty vibrato to
the court after some of her critical
kills. Carlmont head coach Chris
Crader said the senior sometimes gets
too amped up for big matches, but not
Thursday.
Shes a gamer and she just found the
right balance, Crader said.

Carlmont trailed 21-18 last in Game

3, but Mateus brought her team back
from the brink. She scored a kill to tie
it 21-21. She also produced a kill at
match point to tie it 24-24 and force
extra points.
To come back, it was awesome,
Crader said. We just couldnt finish
it.

two weeks ago, 47-41. The Gators erupted
in a 76-55 victory over Carmel. Over the
last three years, the winner of this game has
gone on to win the Bay Division title. SHP

Nova comes into the game averaging 32

be growing into the role. After pedestrian numbers his first two starts, he has found a groove
over the last two games. After throwing for
just 298 yards through his first two games, he
has thrown for 548 over the last two. As
good as the Gators offense was last season
when it averaged nearly 32 points per game,
its even better this season, averaging 43
points. SHP is averaging 267 yards rushing

The Cherokees traveled all the way to the
Seattle area to suffer a 40-33 loss to Vancouver
Collegiate. Since Sequoia moved to the Bay
Division two years ago, Menlo-Atherton has
beaten the Cherokees twice, including 21-14
last season. The Bears defense appears to be
coming around. After allowing 103 points in
their first two games, they have given up 40
their last two games. With their 49 points

Bearcats couldnt get over the hump in a 42-28

posted a 49-20 win. San Mateo ran
roughshod over Aragon last week, churning
out 326 yards on the ground. Both Josh
Fakava and Anderson Perdomo went over the
100-yard mark against the Dons. Fakava
rushed for 193 yards, while Perdomo went for
134. Jefferson is a missed two-point conversion from being undefeated on the season.
The Grizzlies defense has held three of their
four opponent to under 10 points. Jefferson
may have the most balanced offense in the
PAL. The Grizzlies pass for 218 yards and rush
for an average of 215. Jeffersons offense is
led by QB Damari Cual-Davis, who may also
be the teams best rusher. He is averaging 308
yards of offense per game.

Both teams are coming off byes last week.

The Wildcats escaped with a 27-20 win over
Fremont-Sunnyvale two weeks ago. The
Knights blasted Carlmont 42-0. Menlo has
won three of the last four meetings between

threats in the PAL as he averages 166 yards of
total offense per game. The Knights appear
to be getting better as the season has gone

first two games, they have hung 42 on each of

Carlmont has struggled offensively this season. The Scots have been shutout twice this
season and have scored a total of 38 points
through four games. El Camino has been
even worse on offense, having scored only one
touchdown this season.

The Padres were beaten by Bellarmine last

week, 36-28. The Crusaders proved they are
for real with a 37-21 win over Mitty. Serra
has won the last seven meetings between these
teams, including 36-10 last season. The last
time Riordan beat the Padres was 2007, a 20-3
decision. The Padres turned the ball over four
times against Bellarmine last week. Serra
finished one yard shy of 500 yards of offense
last week. RB Kelepi Lataimua had a breakout game against the Bells, rushing for a season-high 183 yards on 19 carries. Riordan

Burlingames main trio of running backs
seniors Lapeli Palu, Joevani Garcia and Ben
Williams combine to average 167.6 yards
per game and have scored all 12 of the
Panthers rushing touchdowns. Palu leads the
pack with a per-game average of 89.3 and has
scored eight times.
Considering how San Mateo gouged Aragon
for over 300 yards rushing as a team two weeks
ago, Sell said he would be shocked if
Burlingame didnt attack the Dons in the same
manner.
Its not like they have to change anything, Sell said. We all see the same film.
They have to think its a pretty good matchup
for them.
But Sell believes it was shoddy play and not

the Bearcats simply overpowering the Aragon

defense.
That was [two weeks] ago. Things change.
Just because we couldnt stop the run
against San Mateo, doesnt mean we cant do it
against Burlingame, Sell said. [Against San
Mateo the problem] was guys not lining up in
the right place. [Details] that will get you
beat. We were trying to do some things, disguise some things in terms of alignment.
We may have outsmarted ourselves against San
Mateo and I think that caused some problems.
Thats part of [non-league play], finding out
what your kids can and cannot do.
While nowhere approaching the number of
times Aragon throws the ball, Burlingame
quarterback Cameron Kelaita has proven at
times this year he can get the job done through

the air. He has twice eclipsed the 100-yard

passing mark throwing for 118 yards in a
season-opening win over Capuchino and 166
yards on 13-of-16 passing in a win over
Alvarez three weeks ago.
They do enough in the pass game that you
cant put too many guys on the line because
they can throw, Sell said.
Philipopoulos is also confident in his
receivers winning one-on-one battles on the
outside. Cooper Gindraux leads the team with
14 catches for an average of nearly 20 yards a
catch. He has shown over the last two years to
have the ability to make the big catch when
given the opportunity.
I feel good about our playmakers,
Philipopoulos said.

Americans jump out to

lead in Presidents Cup
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INCHEON, South Korea Phil

Mickelson and Zach Johnson won
the only match that reached the
18th hole Thursday, the nal touch
on another dominant day for the
Americans in the Presidents Cup.
The rest of the
fo urs o mes
matches were
not much of a
contest as the
Americans built
a 4-1 lead after
the
opening
session.
It was the fth
Phil Mickelson straight time
the Americans
have taken the lead in the opening
round of this one-sided contest, and
the three-point lead was their
largest margin since they had a
four-point lead in 2007 in Canada.
The Americans are going for their
sixth straight victory, and after one
day at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club
Korea, there was a familiar feel to
the event.
The South African duo of Louis
Oosthuizen and Branden Grace won
the only
match
for the
International side, taking advantage of a few poor shots by Matt
Kuchar to seize control on the back
nine for a 3-and-2 win over Kuchar
and Patrick Reed.
It was the rst point for Grace,
who went 0-4 two years ago at
Muireld Village in Ohio.
I know were behind, Grace
said. But one point is better than
none.
Even so, this was another strong
display by the U.S., which never
trailed in the other four matches and
has lost only one time in the
Presidents Cup since it began in
1994.
Rickie Fowler and Jimmy
Walker, who halved all three of
their team matches at the Ryder Cup
last year, nally got their rst full
point in the shortest match of a
short day. They ran off three
straight birdies early and had three
more on the back nine to win, 5 and

4, over Anirban Lahiri of India and

Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand.
Jordan Spieth, the No. 1 player
in the world, and Dustin Johnson
proved as formidable as advertised
in a 4-and-3 win over New
Zealands Danny Lee and Marc
Leishman of Australia.
Perhaps the most pivotal match
was the rst one. Bubba Watson and
J.B. Holmes, two of the longest
hitters in golf, never trailed after a
birdie on the second hole, though it
was tight on the back nine against
Australias Adam Scott and Japans
Hideki Matsuyama.
By then, the Americans were
ahead in three other matches, and
the International team could have
used a win to at least keep it close.
The Americans were 1 up when
Scott missed a putt to win the hole,
and the U.S. pulled ahead 2 up when
Matsuyama left a downhill birdie
attempt short and Holmes rolled in
an 8-foot birdie on No. 15. Holmes
rolled in a birdie on the 16th from
about 15 feet to close out a 3-and-2
win.
Jason Day tried to give the
International side at least a little
momentum going into Friday. Day
and Australian compatriot Steven
Bowditch were 2 down to
Mickelson and Johnson with two
holes to play when Day poured in a
40-foot birdie putt to send the
match to the 18th. Bowditch hit a
long iron to about 18 feet for an
eagle chance, though Mickelson
pounded his tee shot so far that
Johnson was able to stick his
approach to 10 feet. Day narrowly
missed the eagle putt, and conceded
the eagle to the Americans for a 2up win.
Mickelson, who has never
missed a Presidents Cup, tied a tournament record with his 11th foursomes victory. Tiger Woods also
has 11 foursomes wins.
The format was changed this year
to eliminate one match a day and
reduce the total points from 34 to
30. That didnt help the
International side. The way
Thursday went, it might have kept
the score from being worse.

lion are perfectly legal for now in

most states and dumping millions
into advertising during college
games.
Many in the NCAA including
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby
have made their position crystal
clear.
A possible showdown is brewing
for after the season when NCAA and
conference executives are expected to
see how or even if they can curtail the advertising or keep the sites
from offering games that focus on
college athletics. Ole Miss athletic
director Ross Bjork said the avalanche of daily fantasy sports advertising has quickly turned the topic
into a pressing issue.
My 9-year-old son is asking me
every day about it, Bjork said. Its

all over television and even on his

iPad. Theyre obviously doing a great
job of marketing, but its a concern.
Participants on DraftKings and
FanDuel can compete in games
involving NFL or college players,
paying an entry fee that goes into a
larger pool. Then they try to assemble teams that earn the most points
based on real-life stats in a given
period of time with a certain percentage of top finishers earning a payout.
Entry fees on DraftKings range
from 25 cents to over $5,000. Some
prizes top $1 million. DraftKings and
FanDuel say the sites provide games
of skill and not of chance and are subsequently protected by the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
established in 2006, which has language protecting fantasy sports.

A scheme of three-act purity

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When is someone going to open a window in

Aaron Sorkins Steve Jobs? Alas, wrong
operating system.
Sorkin has dispensed with the traditional format of the biopic, instead framing the life of
the Apple co-founder and turtle-necked tech
deity in three backstage dramas ahead of major
product launches: the Macintosh in 1984, NeXT
in 1988 and the iMac in 1998. In the behindthe-scenes swirl, Jobs (Michael Fassbender) is
visited each time by ghosts of products past:
Apple engineer Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen),
Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels), and
Jobs daughter, Lisa (played by three actresses),
whose paternity Jobs initially disputes.
Its a scheme of three-act purity, as tightly
compacted as the circuitry of an iPod, and one
that few besides Sorkin would dare to attempt.
Though the script is adapted from Walter
Isaacsons book, it feels more like a play that
director Danny Boyle has transferred to the
screen. The stage must be the true home of
Steve Jobs; no one steps outside until a pivotal moment late in the film.
Like the tightly controlled aesthetics of Jobs,
himself, the movie is a closed system. Even in

RFK brings back memories of turbulent times

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Turbulent times in American history are vividly recalled in RFK, presented by San Jose Stage Company.
Jack Holmes one-man play features David Arrow as Robert F.
Kennedy mainly between 1964 and
1968.
It starts nine months after the Nov.
22, 1963, assassination of Kennedys
older brother, President John F.
Kennedy, when RFK says he wont
be President Lyndon Johnsons running mate.
He and Johnson never got along
during JFKs presidency, when RFK
was attorney general and his brothers
principal adviser. Therefore, rather
than campaign with Johnson, RFK
ran for and won a Senate seat from
New York.
While in the Senate, he gained a
reputation for ruthlessness, especially
in his pursuit of ties between labor
leader Jimmy Hoffa and the Mafia.
He also became increasingly

opposed to the escalating war in

Vietnam, declaring privately that JFK
should never have allowed the United
States to become involved.
He was appalled by Southern
efforts to thwart desegregation and by
the increasingly violent protests by
blacks and others.
When Johnson announced that he
wouldnt run for re-election in 1968,
RFK jumped into the race. He gave
impassioned speeches about the price
of the war and the plight of poor people. He wanted to galvanize young
people.
Much of the second act takes place
between 1967 and 1968, but theres a
wrenching scene when he recalls his
brothers assassination and the aftermath. He had to make all of the key
decisions for the funeral, comfort
Jackie Kennedy and break the news
to his children.
Interspersed with the politics and
social unrest are touching moments
about life with his family and his
wife, Ethel.
Finally, theres that awful final

scene when he was assassinated in

Los Angeles just after celebrating his
victory in the California primary.
Ethel was pregnant with their 11th
child.
Directed by Randall King and
somewhat resembling RFK, Arrow
captivates the audience as he
describes both harrowing and humorous moments. Its a tour de force.
Running about two hours and five
minutes with one intermission, the
experience becomes even more vivid
with David Murakamis projections
of historic photos and with Cliff
Caruthers sound design. It includes
60s protest songs and rock music.
For those who lived through those
times, this play brings back a flood of
memories. For those who werent
around then, it offers a dramatic history lesson and insights into what that
era was like.
RFK will continue at San Jose
Stage Company, 490 S. First St., San
Jose, through Oct. 25. For tickets and
information call (408) 283-7142 or

Paul Prudhomme: Cajun spices and a love of local ingredients

By Janet McConnaughey
and Rebecca Santana
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS Paul Prudhomme, the

Cajun who popularized spicy Louisiana cuisine and became one of the first American
restaurant chefs to achieve worldwide fame,
died Thursday. He was 75.
Tiffanie Roppolo, the CFO of Prudhommes
businesses, told The Associated Press that he
died early Thursday after a brief illness.
Prudhomme became prominent in the early
1980s, soon after opening K-Pauls Louisiana
Kitchen, a French Quarter diner that served
the meals of his childhood. He had no formal
training, but sparked a nationwide interest in
Cajun food by serving dishes gumbo,
etouffee and jambalaya that were virtually
unknown outside Louisiana.

The distinctly American

chef became a sensation at
a time when the countrys
top restaurants served virtually
nothing
but
European food.
He was always on a
mission and nothing was
impossible for Paul. He
did things his way and let
Paul
Prudhomme the food speak for itself,
said chef Frank Brigtsen,
who worked for Prudhomme for seven years.
He changed the way we eat in New Orleans
in a major way, by bringing Acadian or Cajun
cuisine to the restaurants of the city.
Prudhomme was known for his innovations.
His most famous dishes used the technique he
called blackening: fish or meat covered with
spices, then seared until black in a white-hot

skillet. Blackened redfish became so popular

that Prudhomme lamented over customers
who stopped ordering the traditional Cajun
dishes that he loved.
We had all this wonderful food, we raised
our own rabbit and duck, and all anyone wanted was blackened redfish, he said in a 1992
interview.
Prudhomme was raised by his sharecropper
parents on a farm near Opelousas, in
Louisianas Acadiana region. The youngest of
13 children, he spent much of his time in the
kitchen with his mother, whom he credited for
developing his appreciation of rich flavors and
the fresh vegetables, poultry and seafood that
she cooked.
With her I began to understand about seasoning, about blending taste, about cooking so
things were worth eating, he said.
After high school Prudhomme traveled the

country cooking in bars, diners, resorts and

hotel restaurants.
He returned to New Orleans in the early
1970s and found a job as chef in a hotel restaurant. In 1975, he became the head chef at the
esteemed Commanders Palace restaurant.
Prudhomme and his wife opened K-Pauls
four years later.
K-Pauls was inexpensive and unassuming
formica tables, plywood walls and drinks
served in jars but it was soon the most popular restaurant in New Orleans.
Prudhommes bearded face and oversized
frame became familiar on television talk
shows in the 1980s, where he encouraged
Americans to spice up their meals. He expanded K-Pauls and turned it into an upscale operation. He published bestselling cookbooks and
created a business that sold his spicy seasoning mixtures around the country.

ELEMENTS
AT
THE
MAIN
GALLERY IN REDWOOD CITY SHOWCASES NEW ARTISTS. The Main
Gallerys newest artists, Everett Alatsis, Ed
Bellinger, Pia Brandt, Tom Haines, Kerith
Lisi, Shang Ma and Jean Thrift, invite the
public to view their intriguing spectrum of
creativity. This fresh show is not only an
exploration of the elements of line, color,
shape, form, value, space and texture, but a
collection of work that spans a variety of
media: photography, sculpture, colored pencil, mixed media, ne oil painting and woodturning. Photographer Everett Alatsis strongly believes in experimentation. His natural
curiosity leads him to research new ideas and
content from all facets of his life. In
Elements, Alatsis uncovers interesting geographical surprises from architecture to
Mother Nature. Bronze, ceramic and aluminum are the elements that allow sculptor
Ed Bellinger to engage his imagination to the
fullest. Bellinger explains: Like most artists,
I prefer to speak to all that makes us laugh,
cry or think, through the magic of visual
form. Mixed media artist Pia Brandt
explores the female aspects of God and
Nature using images inspired by Christian
iconography. Brandts work includes a series,
Marias Roses, which incorporates in abundance the owers that are often used to symbolize the Madonna. Artist Tom Haines
showcases his celebration of the beauty of
wood. In turning objects on his lathe, Haines
enhances the beauty of wood by creating
shapes that are complimentary to its magical
qualities. Haines said: Wood has had a spe-

cial lifelong impact on me. I grew up surrounded by furniture and other makings from
my fathers shop. I was pounding nails by age
5, built my rst boat by age 16, built two racing sailboats by age 28 and built all of my living room furniture for my rst home. Mixed
media artist Kerith Lisi displays her series of
assemblages, each piece of work a conversation on how seemingly unrelated fragments
can be pieced together to create an unexpected composition. Lisis work invites the viewer to draw closer and inspect the beauty,
detail and texture found in what is weathered
and worn. Through his expressive gure and
portrait painting, ne art oil painter Shang
Ma explores the relationship between two
different elements in his work: abstraction
and realistic nude gures and faces. The combination of these two elements serves to create movement and also to reect his ideas
pertaining to the life state and emotion. To
capture the theme of this exhibit, Jean Thrift
shows her color pencil drawings of stones.
Stones are worshipped and they are weapons,
monumental or as microscopic as beach sand.
They are everywhere in our landscape and
our language: touchstone, keystone, brimstone, stonewall, milestone, stone cold. In
small drawings, Thrift explores the wide
range of visual, emotional and metaphoric
possibilities of stones, each stone seen as
unique and beautiful in timeless, elemental
elegance. The Main Gallery, an artists cooperative with some 20 members, is located at
1018 Main St. in the historic yellow Victorian
Cottage in Redwood City. Gallery hours are
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Ant-Man sequel set for 2018, The Incredibles 2 for 2019

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Marvel and Disney

are going microscopic again.
Ant-Man and the Wasp, a sequel to this
summers Ant-Man, will be released on
July 6, 2018, the studio announced
Thursday.
In addition, Disney and Pixar have set a
June 2019 release date for The Incredibles
2, 15 years after the release of Brad Birds
beloved original film.
Disney, which crossed the $4 billion box
office mark for 2015 this week, set dates and
a few titles involving 19 films through 2020
in a gigantic announcement that included
four live-action fairy tales.
We are set to deliver some fantastic
movies well into the future, said Dave
Hollis, Disneys Executive Vice President
for Theatrical Distribution.
The Ant-Man sequel will mark the first
time a Marvel movie will include the name

JOBS
Continued from page 18
the first scenes, Jobs is trying to have the
Exit signs covered for the show. Tell the
fire marshals, he says, Were in here changing the world.
Cloistered inside its claustrophobic casing,
the movie hums with the high processing
capacity of Sorkins dialogue. In dressing
rooms and the bowels of theaters, Jobs,
flanked by his right-hand woman Joanna
Hoffman (an excellent Kate Winslet), is the
egomaniacal mind amid the media storm of
his making.
Hes in virtually perpetual argument:
strong-arming his engineers to get the first
Mac to say Hello in his presentation;

of a female character in a title after the studio was criticized over the issue.
The next will be Captain Marvel, which
has been pushed back to March of 2019.
Evangeline Lilly portrayed the Wasp in
the first Ant-Man film, which earned $409.8
million worldwide.
The announcement did not specify
whether she or Paul Rudd, who played AntMan, would be reprising their roles for the
sequel, but most actors in Marvel films are
signed for multi-year, multi-film contracts.
Also coming in the summer of 2018 is
Toy Story 4, which has been delayed a
year.
Walt Disney Animation Studios and John
Lasseter, CEO of Pixar, said in August at the
D23 fan convention, that the film will be a
love story between Woody and Bo Peep,
who have been voiced in previous films by
Tom Hanks and Annie Potts.
Disney also announced six untitled films
for 2020, including three Marvel films, two
Pixar releases, and one Disney Animation
offering.

Ant-Man and the Wasp, a sequel to this summers Ant-Man, will be released on July 6, 2018,
however, the announcement did not specify whether Evangeline Lilly, who portrayed the
Wasp, or Paul Rudd, who played Ant-Man, would be reprising their roles for the sequel.

lamenting a Time magazine cover that dared

to make the computer, not him, man of the
year; sneering at PC hobbyists who resist
the end-to-end control he demands for the
Mac.
What does Steve Jobs do? Thats the question Wozniak (the arguably more important
inventor and computer programmer), puts to
him, and the one the film, itself, is an answer
to. Jobs is the big-picture visionary, the bullheaded narcissist and, above all, the knowing
conductor of talent and ideas. Its not a hard
metaphor to grasp by the way Sorkin, the
master of multitasking, juggles Jobs in an
asteroid storm of turmoil, including, oh yes,
one scene set in an orchestra pit.
Every interaction bears the tension of tolerance: How much do we accept from a man
of some genius? Its not much fun being
around a guy who compares himself to Julius
Caesar and sees assassins all around. How to

reconcile someone who can refuse to pay for

his daughters college tuition, but who can,
like magic, put a thousand songs in her pocket?
Hes as puny as he is mighty, a flawed man
who made perfect machines.
Steve Jobs hangs heavily, melodramatically, on his relationship with Lisa. But as
fraught as life is backstage, the thundering,
foot-stopping audiences lurk outside.
Why has Sorkin, an acknowledged technology neophyte who also penned The
Social Network, become the go-to for some
of the greatest tech minds of our time?
Perhaps because his rat-tat-tat exchanges
gives us some sense of the computing power
of elite minds, just as his morality tales render them in the binary codes of good and bad
rather than ones and zeroes.
Boyle, whose greatest talent is in his slick
manipulation of time (127 Hours, 28

Days Later ...), is in firm control of the

screenplays high-velocity rhythm. And he
does his best to bring a visual component to
the stagy screenplay, most notably filming
each act different: first grainy 16mm, then
35mm and finally in the hard reality of highdefinition digital.
The adventurous Boyle feels a little
hemmed in here, as does the naturally mischievous Fassbender. But Fassbender captures the thin-skinned sensitivity and
detailed obsessiveness of Jobs. In his hands,
Sorkins dialogue crackles.
The film often does too: the Full Sorkin
Treatment has electrified a well-trod subject.
But it also smothers it in artifice. In Steve
Jobs, Sorkin does the conducting.
Steve Jobs, a Universal Pictures release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for language. Running time: 122
minutes. Three stars out of four.

ers did so by mail, he said. Mullin said
the all mail election will also reduce the
possibility of human error.
If participation increases, as we are
hoping, it could be a model for the
state, Mullin said.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, county Supervisor Dave Pine and
League of Women Voters President
Kathee Tyson also touted the pilot at
Thursdays press conference.
Hill carried the bill in the state Senate.
The major problem is getting people
to vote, Hill said about the way elections are currently conducted.
Hill said that a greater effort needs to
be made to get younger people to vote.
We have to do something, he said.
Its an easy, convenient way to cast ballots.
Gordon praised the outreach taking
place to inform voters that the election
will be conducted differently this year.
Sending a ballot to every voter will
absolutely improve voter turnout and
participation, he said. This is the way
we will vote in the future.
Pine, who won his supervisors seat in
a 2011 special election conducted by
mail, said voter participation was greater
that year compared to traditional elections.
It also saved the county about 50 percent of the cost of a traditional election,
Pine said.
We have experience with all mail and
weve been very successful, Pine said
Thursday at the press conference. A
democracy without robust voting is not a
democracy we want.

by Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Voters who do not want to participate
by mail can vote at two voting centers in
the county now and at 32 additional universal polling places on Election Day
itself.
And voters who do wait to cast their
ballots on Election Day will receive a
ballot specific to them regardless of
where they cast their vote, Church said.
In the county now, 57 percent of registered voters are permanent vote by mail.
With no precinct ballots to count on
Election Day, a greater portion of ballots
should be tallied that night with the first
results available to view at 8:05 p.m.
Church said voter turnout is typically
10 percent higher when conducted by
mail.

Teresa Thompson, out of the Menlo
Park office.
Arbeed is a specialist when it comes
to selling high-end homes but mostly in
Burlingame.
He said even though the San Carlos
home is worth every penny he wasnt
sure it would sell for so high because
other homes in the San Carlos neighborhood appraise for more in the $2 million
range.
The house was on the market for
about seven months before a buyer
made a cash offer, Arbeed said.
On record, Arbeed said the previous
high for a home sale in San Carlos was
in the $3.5 million range.

This hillside home in San Carlos sold last

month for $5.38 million.
The house features smart-home technology and has five and one-half bathrooms. The two-level open floor plan
has high ceilings, columns and windows
with views from every room. It has
hardwood floors and multiple fireplaces. The foyer has a sweeping staircase and living room with greenbelt
views, according to a statement from
Maita Communications.

Yolo and San Mateo counties are participating in the pilot, which was
approved by state lawmakers last year.
Yolo is participating because it is a rural
county.
Mullins legislation gives both counties the authority to conduct up to three
all-mail ballot elections until the end of
2017. Presidential elections, however,
are excluded from the pilot.
Under AB 2028, every voter gets a
ballot in the mail; return envelopes are
postage paid; voters can still vote in person; and the county provides a report to
the state on the outcome.
Voters can also drop off their ballots at
any City Hall up until Election Day.
Go to shapethefuture.org to learn
more.
The formal dining room is large and
can cater to big crowds for entertaining.
It also has a chefs kitchen, with top-ofthe-line appliances, furniture-grade cabinets and a breakfast room.
The adjoining family room has a fireplace and has expansive windows and
glass doors that open to a veranda with
views of Devonshire Canyon and the
San Francisco Bay.
The master bedroom suite has a sitting area with fireplace, huge walk-in
closet and a spa-inspired bath; while a
second bedroom or office with full bath,
complete the upper level.
The lower level features a media
room that leads to a large patio and
deck, a wet bar, huge gym, billiard room
with remote-controlled skylights, 750bottle temperature-controlled wine
room and three additional bedroom
suites with rear patio access, according

trol system and quieter electrified trains would
reduce impacts. Moving forward, public input
as well as working with local municipalities
will be a priority, said Ben Tripousis, northern
regional director with the High-Speed Rail
Authority.
This is a continuation of the process that
was began several years ago and its about
ensuring we create as many opportunities for
public comment and input on a regular basis.
And contrary to some misinformation that went
around, this is the first of many public meetings
and opportunities for public input, Tripousis
said. Giving the community the opportunity to
help us ensure were delivering the best project
we could possibly bring forward.
But many at Wednesdays meeting remained
skeptical if not surprised that officials had
returned particularly as funding for the estimated nearly $68 billion project hasnt been
solidified. An issue Tripousis noted was being
addressed through investigating the possibility
of finding private partnerships 35 firms
from around the world have shown interest.
Betsy McGinn, one of the founders of the citizens coalition group High Speed Boondoggle,
said the public is still raw and untrusting of
high-speed rail officials since their last go-

Continued from page 1
not dedicate the energy and focus to the
Harbor Commission that it deserves, David
wrote in an email, adding shes also been on
disability from her day job with the San
Francisco Estuary Institute for several weeks.
Its been an honor to serve on behalf of the
people of San Mateo County and I am happy
that we were able to make good progress with
efforts that I could help lead.
Board President Tom Mattusch said Davids
intelligence, experience and professionalism
have been extremely valuable to the district.
Ultimately, he empathizes that her health must
come first, Mattusch said.
Nicole is tremendous. She brings a very
levelheaded balanced approach to everything.
She was truly an asset to the board. Her scientific training was a very valuable asset to decision-making processes weve went through,
Nicole was a tremendous balance for the
whole board, Mattusch said.
During her tenure with the district, David
worked on the districts water quality committee to design a new monitoring approach for
bacteria in the harbor. David was also responsible for arranging the Sustainable Seafood
Saturday, a recent educational event with lecturers highlighting the importance of buying
local seafood.
She also served on the committee to hire a
new general manager a tedious process that
culminated during her final meeting after the
board officially announced theyve chosen
Steve McGrath, manager of the Port San Luis
Harbor District.
Oversight for the special district, which
owns Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay
and manages Oyster Point Marina/Park in
South San Francisco, has undergone significant change in the last year and officials have
yet to determine how to fill Davids recently
vacated seat.

around. I think theres a long history here that

weve experienced with the High-Speed Rail
Authority thats been very dismissive and at
times arrogant of the communitys needs and I
think there were a lot of very vague promises
made in there, McGinn said immediately after
Wednesdays meeting.
A main concern related to the increased number of trains brought on by both electrification
and high-speed rail as it could worsen the
already problematic Burlingame crossings.
While safety remained a high priority for
everyone, more immediate action may be needed as noted when a car was struck on the
Burlingame tracks shortly after the meeting
ended. Caltrain has hit a total of six vehicles
since Aug. 1 alone.
Tripousis emphasized the authority would
actively work with communities that would
share in the cost or supporting grade separation
projects. Quad gates are being considered,
which would help meet federal safety zone
standards and also allow conductors to avoid
having to honk horns in residential communities, Tripousis said.
Yet as officials are just beginning the environmental review process, there were few
answers as to exactly when or how such costly
improvements would be funded which
prompted more criticism from the community.
I think that what youre hearing tonight
here, is that the costs that are being imposed on
the community here along the proposed pathway are not commiserate with the benefits

these particular communities will get, said

Burlingame resident Chris Bush, who noted it
didnt seem appropriate to cut public comment
off before all had a chance to speak.
McGinn said she attended a similar meeting
in San Francisco and was pleased political
pressure convinced transit organizers to provide time for public input during the
Burlingame meeting something that wasnt
initially planned.
I felt that they were so much more responsive to citizens than we have experienced in
years past. So to me, I think thats a positive
sign. But I just think theres so many unanswered questions about this project that are
going to negatively impact all of us, that its
scary for people, McGinn said.
Burlingame resident Mary Griffith said she
attended the community meetings during the
first go-around and many had hoped their preference for the tracks to run underground would
be taken up. She, like many others, remained
concerned the tracks would divide the east and
west parts of various communities due to the
gates and walls that could coincide with 110mph bullet trains.
Ive been in this room and we drew diagrams and broke into small groups, Griffith
said. So now theyre back and just as a regular Joe citizen, I dont trust them.
Still, some members of the public showed
support for the bullet train touted to have significant environmental benefits while accounting for the states growing population. High-

speed rail representatives sought to appeal to

the community as local citizens themselves
while highlighting the benefits of sharing the
Caltrain tracks.
The Peninsula is in a better position than
many areas in California. You have been
actively engaged in shaping the direction that
high-speed rail is going to go in your area, and
by that in particular, I mean Caltrain electrification. Youre kind of the first, and in some
ways maybe the furthest, along in terms of
knowing where things are going, said San
Francisco resident Thea Selby, a member of the
High-Speed Rail Authoritys Board of
Directors. This high-speed rail is not being
built in a vacuum. Its not being built by just
engineers or by people in Sacramento, its
being built with the input of people across
California.
David Harris, another co-founder of High
Speed Boondoggle, said getting to the present
required immense effort from local politicians
and citizens. While encouraged by
Wednesdays forum that provided for public
comment, he urged the community to stay
involved.
There was a lot of anger and political pressure to make [the blended system] happen,
Harris said. Theres going to have to be more
of that to get something thats acceptable.

David, along with Mattusch, were elected

last year after running on a platform promoting change and new leadership the duo
ousted appointed incumbent Will Holsinger
and longtime commissioner Jim Tucker.
The districts 17-year general manager
Peter Grenell also retired at the start of the
year, prompting two temporary leaders to
step in while David and Mattusch reviewed
dozens of candidates.
Hiring Steven McGrath as the new general manager was a long but rewarding process
and I am sure he will represent the Harbor
District and the board professionally and
address important and immediate priorities,
David said.
David stepped down just as she helped with
another major accomplishment. After years
of bureaucratic stagnation while trying to
identify a solution to erosion at Surfers Beach
in Half Moon Bay reportedly exacerbated
by the man-made jetties at Pillar Point Harbor
that are overseen by numerous agencies such
as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers the
board recently secured support.
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan said she
was surprised by her peers departure and
Wednesdays meeting was an example of
Davids dedication to public service.
I did not see this coming. This is very sad
news and a big loss for the district and the
people the district serves, Brennan wrote in
an email. David identified a consultant who
will design a grant funding proposal for a
sand replenishment demonstration project at
Surfers Beach. The board unanimously
approved a contract with that consultant
[Wednesday] night. The consultant is working on a contingency per [Davids] recommendation and he is confident that he will get
the project fully funded with his fees included in a grant.
Brennan also noted Davids expertise as
a marine biologist served the community
and district extremely well, particularly in
her proactive roles to support sustainability amongst the districts large commercial

fishing industry.
The board has not outlined a process for
filling Davids seat, which runs through 2018.
Whether it opts to appoint a new commissioner or hold a special election will likely be
discussed at its next meeting Oct. 21.
Whoever steps in, will face the wake of
recent scrutiny since a scathing San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury report and the Local
Agency Formation Commission suggested
the special district be dissolved and its swath
of duties from managing an RV park to
maintaining a recreational trail near
Mavericks be absorbed by the county or
other agencies.
Some of Davids ideas and actions, such as
seeking to bring more decorum to district

meetings by suggesting a code of conduct

and ways to guide public participation,
werent always met well by opinionated constituents some who lashed out with
vicious emails.
But the marine biologist remained steadfast
that her intentions were positive and in keeping with her desire to keep the district afloat
by promoting new policies to support the
environment as well as her community.
I had the opportunity to move some of the
issues that I deeply care about forward and I
am grateful for that, David said. Its been a
hard and often stressful year but my passion
for the issues concerning the harbors gave me
plenty of energy to focus on this, on top of
my day job.
