Builders fire back against bond audit

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Company claims it is unfairly blamed for money mismanagement

City deems Burlingame unit a public

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A Burlingame woman has been

homeless for nearly two months as
the Murchison Drive apartment she
rents has been deemed a public nuisance and uninhabitable by the
citys chief building official.
The landlords, a trust controlled
by Erica, Christopher and Marisol
Dunning, were ordered Sept. 11 to
immediately submit a building permit application and complete

repairs by Sept. 25.

The tenant, Donna Gibson,
requested that city building inspectors take a look at her unit after her
bathroom was gutted in August and
not fixed in a timely manner.
They determined that the unit
was substandard, due to the lack of
a functioning bathroom and openings to another unit that had been
created as part of initial repairs,

School Farm promotes healthy eating

HEAL Project offers experiential learning for county students
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Efforts to promote healthy eating

by teaching children about the life
cycle of the produce they consume
received a boost this week as the
HEAL Project earned a long-term
commitment from the countys
Board of Supervisors.
The Health, Environmental,
Agriculture and Learning or
HEAL Project provides a rare
experiential learning opportunity
for school children to visit Half
Moon Bay to plant, harvest and
taste a range of organically grown
fruit and vegetables at the nonprof-

its School Farm.

Last week, the county approved a
contract allocating $280,000 over
the next three and a half years to
support the 2.5-acre farm and its
programs offered for free or at a discount to low-income students. The
HEAL Project has managed the program for nine years and is in its fifth
year of collaborating with the county.
Students throughout San Mateo
County visit the HEAL Projects
School Farm, ideally in the spring to
plant seeds then again in the fall for
harvest, said Executive Director
Amy Bono-Kruckewitt.
It teaches them stewardship of

their world around them, their own

bodies, the environment and about
shopping locally. It touches on so
many different elements, BonoKruckewitt said. The fact that the
kids get to use their own hands to
plant the plants and harvest the
plants months later, really closes the
loop for them and brings home the
importance of what they put in their
bodies and how far food has to travel.

Main Street Bridge in

HMB can be repaired
Structural test settles contentious debate
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After years of considering, debating and campaigning over the fate of

the Main Street Bridge in Half
Moon Bay, experts have released
the results of structural tests that
indicate the 100-year-old structure
can be repaired.
The bridge elicited a contentious
election whereby citizens passed a
measure to hinder the City Council
from its initial plans to replace the
80-foot long structure that serves as

a key entryway into downtown.

More than a year since Measure F
was passed, the results from the site
investigation and structural report
were presented during a council
meeting Wednesday night.
The long-awaited analysis
which involved penetrating radar

be replaced; instead, repairs that
could total between $1 million and

Thought for the Day

The want of logic annoys. Too much
logic bores. Life eludes logic, and
everything that logic alone constructs
remains artificial and forced.
Andre Gide, French author and critic (1869-1951).

This Day in History

English nurse Edith Cavell was executed by a German firing squad for helping
Allied soldiers escape from occupied
Belgium during World War I. (The
night before the sentence was carried
out, Cavell met with chaplain H. Stirling Gahan, who later
quoted her as saying: I realize that patriotism is not enough. I
must have no hatred or bitterness towards any one.)

1915

On this date:
In 1492 (according to the Old Style calendar), Christopher
Columbus arrived with his expedition in the present-day
Bahamas.
In 1870, General Robert E. Lee died in Lexington, Virginia, at
age 63.
In 1915, former President Theodore Roosevelt, speaking to the
Knights of Columbus in New York, criticized native-born
Americans (as opposed to naturalized citizens) who identified
themselves by dual nationalities, saying that a hyphenated
American is not an American at all.
In 1942, during World War II, American naval forces defeated
the Japanese in the Battle of Cape Esperance. Attorney General
Francis Biddle announced during a Columbus Day celebration
at Carnegie Hall in New York that Italian nationals in the
United States would no longer be considered enemy aliens.
In 1964, the Soviet Union launched a Voskhod space capsule
with a three-man crew on the first mission involving more than
one crew member (the flight lasted just over 24 hours).
In 1973, President Richard Nixon nominated House minority
leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan to succeed Spiro T. Agnew
as vice president.
In 1994, the Magellan space probe ended its four-year mapping mission of Venus, apparently plunging into the planets
atmosphere.
In 2000, 17 sailors were killed in a suicide bomb attack on the
destroyer USS Cole in Yemen.

More cities recognize Native
Americans on Columbus Day
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. More
cities are recognizing Native Americans
on Columbus Day this year as they
revive a movement to change the name
of the holiday to celebrate the history
and contributions of indigenous cultures
around the country.
As the U.S. observes Columbus Day
on Monday, it will also be Indigenous
Peoples Day in at least nine cities for the
first time this year, including
Albuquerque; Portland, Oregon; St.
Paul, Minnesota; and Olympia,
Washington.
Encouraged by city council votes in
Minneapolis and Seattle last year,
Native American activists made a push
in dozens of cities in recent months to
get local leaders to officially recognize
the second Monday of October as
Indigenous Peoples Day. Their success
was mixed.
The campaigns say the federal holiday
honoring Christopher Columbus and
the parades and pageantry accompanying it overlook a painful history of
colonialism, enslavement, discrimination and land grabs that followed the
Italian explorers 1492 arrival in the
Americas. The indigenous holiday takes
into account the history and contributions of Native Americans for a more
accurate historical record, activists have
argued.
Columbus Day supporters say the hol-

around Columbus Day have faced

protests that are known for being confrontational, especially in Denver. Anna
Vann, a longtime member of the Sons of
Italys Denver Lodge, recalls protests
during the 1992 parade, which marked
the 500th anniversary of Columbus
voyage, as the most unnerving and pivotal.
That year, protesters blocked the
parade route for several hours, she said.
After that, the parade wasnt held again
until 2000, and it has been difficult to
make it the draw it once was, she said.
Its been a struggle to even get people to come and attend the parades as
spectators, Vann said. Its a celebration of when the Europeans came over
and started their lives here. We wouldnt
be where we are today if it werent for
this history.
The renewed push for Indigenous
Peoples Day carries the sentiment of
past
decades protests
against
Columbus, but it has proven less confrontational, with advocates instead
finding traction at City Hall.
They really didnt prove anything,
Rey Garduno, an Albuquerque city
councilman and longtime community
organizer, said of the confrontational
protests.
Whatever victory people took from
them, you still ended up at the end of the
day in the same place or even worse,
Garduno said.

For the Native community here,
Indigenous Peoples Day means a lot. We
actually have something, said Nick
Estes of Albuquerque, who is coordinating a celebration Monday after the City
Council recently issued a proclamation.
We understand its just a proclamation,
but at the same time, we also understand
this is the beginning of something
greater.
Native Americans are the nations
smallest demographic, making up about
2 percent of the U.S. population. In
recent decades, a significant number of
tribal members have moved from reservations to urban areas, where a large
majority live today. The shift makes the
cities resolutions and proclamations
more meaningful, Estes said.
Congress set aside the second
Monday of October as a federal holiday
honoring Columbus in 1934. Over the
years, Native Americans have slowly
begun winning more recognition around
the day.
South Dakota renamed Columbus

ever since. Berkeley, California, has

Diversity a top issue facing Sequoia board

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL

Five seek three open seats on high school Board of Trustees

Developing curriculum which

best serves a diverse community is
one of the most pressing challenges
facing the Sequoia Union High
School District, according to the
candidates running for three seats
on the Board of Trustees.
Incumbents Allen Weiner and
Carrie Du Bois are seeking re-election, along with appointed incumbent Laura Martinez, and they are
being opposed by education specialist Georgia Jack and Noria Zasslow
on an all-mail election ballot due
Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The districts four comprehensive
sites Woodside, Sequoia,
Carlmont and Menlo-Atherton high
schools educate a wide variety of
students from different backgrounds
who have an assortment of different
learning needs, said Jack.
In many cases, the learning
demands of students stem from their
socioeconomic status, said Jack,
which educators have limited ability to control.
We cant just solve that problem
in the classroom, she said. Its
really a community focus.
She said schools can offer programs which allow students to feel
supported, and may help them focus
on their education when life outside
of the classroom may be hectic.
Weiner concurred the district has
limited ability to solve the financial
or lifestyle challenges facing some
students.
I dont see how we become a
substitute for social service agencies that are failing, he said.
Du Bois said the district has more
work to do in helping students who
may be struggling academically due

to personal reasons.
We havent figured out how to
support our most at-risk kids to the
best of our ability, she said.
She said officials should focus on
truancy rates as a means of finding
out more about why some students
are struggling, with an eye to offering
them more resources.
Candidate Noria Zasslow did not
participate in the article.
Martinez said identifying challenged students as early as possible
to intervene and keep them engaged
is integral to improving their
chances for success.
Collaboration with elementary
schools that feed in to the Sequoia
Union High School District, as well
as the rest of the community and parents, said Martinez, could be a good
way to improve achievement.
If we focus on these things, well
be on the right track, she said.
Outreach to local businesses could
be an additional asset to the district
while developing visions for the small
high school proposed to be established in Menlo Park, said Martinez.
The district has plans to build small
schools in Menlo Park and San Carlos
to address concerns of growing
enrollment.
Martinez said officials should look
to develop internships at companies
near the Menlo Park campus which
would help students pursue opportunities beyond high school.
Weiner said he was excited to offer
cutting-edge curriculum to students at
the Menlo Park campus, which has
been proposed to be focused on science, technology, engineering and
mathematics.

Man gets seven years in
prison for trio of robberies
An 18-year-old man was sentenced to seven
years in state prison for a series of armed robberies he admitted to committing last year in
Redwood City, prosecutors said Friday.
Febronio Mendoza, 19, pleaded no contest
in June to two counts of felony robbery with
enhancements for firearm use and prior strikes
in return for an agreed-upon sentence of five
to 10 years in state prison, San Mateo County
District Attorneys officials said.
Prosecutors said Mendoza began by robbing
a 7-Eleven store of $120 at 1700 Broadway in
Redwood City around 3 a.m. on Feb. 19,
2014. His second attempt at a robbery later
that day failed, as he attempted to rob a
Subway sandwich shop at 1926 El Camino
Real but the employee refused to hand over
money, according to prosecutors.
This final robbery, at another Subway at 768
Woodside Road around 10:40 a.m., was successful. Prosecutors said Mendoza showed the
store employee a handgun tucked into his
waistband.
When Mendoza later came to the Redwood
City Police Department to report an unrelated
hit-and-run incident, police said he made
admissions to all three robberies.
Prosecutors said he still owes restitution to
robbery victims, but the amount hasnt yet
been determined.

approaches, he
said.
Jack said she
hoped the Menlo

school
would also offer
a focus on creative arts, to offer Carrie Du Bois
a broader education that would
appeal to a wider
variety of students.
She said she
anticipates the
chance to collaborate between
the new school
and local com- Laura Martinez
munity colleges,
as a means of granting an opportunity
to engage students who are looking
beyond the traditional education path.
Du Bois said she is concerned the
focus of the Menlo Park campus,
should the curriculum revolve around
science, technology, engineering and
math, would be too narrow to address
the needs of all students.
I do worry about the STEM
topic, she said. It doesnt excite me
as much as having a wide range of
experiences.
Making sure all students are served
equally, including those who attend
the districts continuation program, is
a top priority for Du Bois, she said.
Offering a seamless transition for
students leaving middle school and
entering the district will help them
remain successful throughout high
school, despite the personal chal-

Westfield Mall, where Saddozai and the victim worked, to her home in Daly City.
He took the victim to a hot tub and tanning
business instead, where prosecutors said he
undressed the victim, kissed her and performed sex acts on her.
After his arrest, San Mateo County Deputy
District Attorney Sean Gallagher said
Saddozai fled to the Philippines while his case
was pending, but was eventually apprehended
by authorities there.
Saddozai allegedly jumped from his threestory condominium in Cebu, hopped multiple
fences and bit the ear of a U.S. marshal during
his January arrest. In connection with that
attack, Saddozai has another case pending.
In August, after his U.S. extradition,
Saddozai pleaded no contest to a sex acts
charge on the condition that he would serve no
more than 32 months in prison. He was sentenced today to a 32-month state prison term.
Because he was granted 821 days of credit
for time already served, Saddozai will only
have to serve a couple months for this sentence before he is potentially released on
parole, Gallagher said.

And though
the diversity of

Georgia Jack is also one of the
character traits
she appreciates
most about the
district.
She said it is
imperative for
officials to ensure
the district keep
its unique identity, despite culturAllen Weiner al shifts such as
the local housing
crisis, which is affecting the lives of
many students and teachers.
I want to make sure we maintain
our diversity so we can offer the best
education for our students, Jack said.
As development thrives and the
community continues to change, said
Martinez, it is a priority for her to
ensure students remain protected on
their way to and from school sites.
I think the health and wellness of
our students is an issue, Martinez
said.
Community issues are a concern to
Weiner, he said, but are not as pressing as what officials can do to ensure
students are receiving a high-quality
education while in the classroom.
He said it is the responsibility of
the board, administration and teachers to guarantee students are prepared to succeed at the next level

After fleeing country, man sentenced

MILLBRAE
for sexually asaulting teen girl
After attempting to escape to the
Philippines while his case was still pending, a
Daly City man was sentenced today to 32
months in state prison for sexually assaulting
a teen girl, prosecutors said.
Shikeb Saddozai, 37, was facing a string of
charges, including forcible sex acts with
minor, kidnapping and sexual battery, in connection with 2012 allegations made by a 17year-old victim.
Prosecutors said Saddozai offered to give a
teen victim a ride from San Franciscos

beyond high school, and anything

short of achieving that goal should
be considered a failure.
A top priority for Weiner is offering
teachers an opportunity for professional development and further
implementation of Common Core
standards to develop the critical thinking skills of students which will serve
them on their path beyond high
school. As officials attempt to implement these strategies, and others, the
effectiveness of the board will be
determined by the success of students,
said Weiner, not the relationships
between trustees.
He said he believes despite occasional hurdles, the board has been
largely successful in serving students.
Some days it is fun, some days
there is disagreement or conflict, he
said. But I feel pretty good about the
boards record of achievement,
Martinez agreed, and said she feels
the board has run efficiently since she
was appointed in March.
Overall since Ive joined I think
its been a smooth transition and it has
been pleasant, she said.
Du Bois said though she wishes
the board was more productive at
times, and has tried to implement
policy which could serve as guidelines for operations, but that effort
has been met with a lukewarm
reception by the current members.
I do not believe our board is as
high functioning as it could be, she
said.
Jack agreed, and said she believed
more attention should be paid to
improving the boards efficiency.
There could be a more broad discourse, she said. That is something
the board needs to work on.

Three race for two school board seats

Facilities and curriculum remain priorities in San Mateo-Foster City
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While the San Mateo-Foster City

Elementary School District is faced
with the need to accommodate a
growing student population and
implement modern curriculum,
three candidates for the Board of
Trustees are looking to help the district navigate these challenges, and
more.
Two incumbents are up for reelection, and while Colleen Sullivan
has decided not to run, Audrey Ng

decided to pursue another four-year

term on the five-member board.
Also running are educator Bryan
Williams and parent Nancy Kohn
Hsieh on an all-mail ballot due
Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.
With Measure X, a $148 million
facilities bond, on the same ballot
slated to finance construction of 50
new classrooms across the district,
the candidates espoused the value of
the tax which will help accommodate future enrollment growth.
Measure X is complete and carefully considered, said Ng. We are

confident with this bond measure.

The current bond proposal, which
aims to tax home owners roughly
$15 per $100,000 of assessed home
value, was brought forth two years
after the failure of Measure P, which
voters shot down.
Since 2013, district officials have
conducted a thorough outreach
campaign to address the failures of
the previous bond initiative, and
gauge the demands of the community to bring forward a more assiduous proposal, said Ng.
Hsieh said she agreed Measure X

is the superior
bond proposal to
suit the needs of
the district.
Measure X is
more comprehensive,

by requiring mandatory vaccination for day

community by vetoing two bills on the
Chamber of Commerce list of so-called job
killers as he took action on dozens of pieces
of legislation Sunday.
Brown rejected lawmakers efforts to

vetoing legislation by Sen. Hannah-Beth
Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, that would have
expanded the pool of workers who can take
up to 12 weeks off to care for grandparents,
grandchildren, siblings and parents-in-law. He
agreed with CalChambers argument that
SB406 conflicts with federal law and could
require employers to provide up to 24 weeks

mandatory employment arbitration agreements, which CalChamber warned would
significantly drive up litigation costs and
lawsuits for employers. Brown called AB465
by Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, D-West
Covina, a far-reaching approach that has
been consistently struck down in other states
for conflicts with federal law.
The California Labor Federation, AFLCIO, which sponsored the bill, said the proposal would have put employees and employers on equal footing in negotiating employment contracts, and called the veto a slap in
the face of working Californians.
The legislation was among bills targeted by
the business community and one of 18 Brown
vetoed Sunday.
He also rejected a so-called right to try
law that would
have allowed
terminally ill
patients to
petition
d r u g
companies for
access to
experimental
treatments
t h a t
h a v e
not yet

approved
for use by

Administration
but have already
cleared the first
phase of testing.
That decision
c a m e

just days after the Democratic governor

signed a law allowing terminally ill patients to
end their own lives with a physicians help.
He said the FDAs rules should be given a
chance to work.
In the wake of Californias adoption of one
of the strictest school vaccination laws in the
country, Brown moved to further tighten the
rules, signing SB792, legislation requiring
day care centers and homes to maintain
immunization records proving their workers
and volunteers have been vaccinated for the
flu, pertussis and the measles. They already
are screened for tuberculosis.
If this new law can prevent the loss of even
one child due to a communicable disease, then
it will be considered a success, said the bills
author, Sen. Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia.
The issue of mandatory vaccinations was
among the most heated at the capital this year,
following an outbreak of measles at
Disneyland. Opponents of the new school law
last week failed in their efforts to collect
enough signatures to place a referendum on it
on the ballot.
Brown also took action on these bills:
Wage theft: Brown signed SB588 by
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, DLos Angeles, making it easier for the state
labor commissioner to collect unpaid wages
on behalf of workers.
Ridesharing: He signed AB229 by
Assemblywoman Ling-Ling Chang, RDiamond Bar, to allow state employees to use
ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft
and use short-term rentals such as Airbnb.
Taxi driver and hotel employee unions
opposed the legislation.
Smokeless tobacco: He signed AB768 by
Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, D-Richmond,
to prohibit using or possessing smokeless
tobacco products on the playing field at professional baseball parks; he also signed AB216
by Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Bell
Gardens, which prohibits the sale of vapor
products to anyone under age 18, even if
they dont contain nicotine.
Franchisee rights: Brown signed
AB525 by Assemblyman Chris
Holden, D-Pasadena, giving franchise owners greater rights to
challenge mandates from corporate owners.

Confederate
names:
Brown rejected SB539 by
Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda,
which would have banned
naming schools, parks, buildings and other public property
after Confederate leaders, saying its an issue quintessentially for local decision makers.
Glazer said local governments
have had decades to remove
Confederate
names
and
havent done so.

its both San Mateo and Foster City equally.

He said officials have done well to draft a
bond program which addresses future growth
and equity concerns.
The district is thinking ahead, he said.
He noted the additional benefit the bond
stands to offer through a proposal to build a
small school on the campus of College Park
Elementary School to serve students from the
North Central neighborhood of San Mateo.
The College Park campus is currently home
to the districts Mandarin immersion program,
which will share facilities with the 250 students
in the North Central school, should it be built.
There had been some skepticism regarding
whether to proceed with the proposal to build
a school in North Central, as a previous iteration had suffered academically, but ultimately
officials elected to pursue the new site at the
behest of community residents who wanted
more school options for neighborhood residents.
The district has not always efficiently communicated with residents or communities,
admitted Ng, which was evidenced in the
shortcomings of the previous bond measure, as
well as the lack of available information from
officials regarding the recent expansion of the
districts Montessori and STEM programs.
Williams said because school districts typically utilize a very deliberate decision-making
process, it is imperative to be as open and
transparent as possible to avoid the opportunity for misinformation to spread.
Community outreach has to be involved,
he said. You have to be very clear about your
intentions to not have rumors start.
Hsieh said she believed more could be done
to be more communicative with parents and
students, but believes new Superintendent
Joan Rosas has improved the districts accessibility since being hired in June.
I feel like they are doing a good job, but it
can be built upon, she said.
As the district faces challenges with communications and the bond, officials must also
maintain focus on implementing the Common

Monday Oct. 12, 2015

Core curriculum, said Hsieh.

The recently mandated standards require a
different type of instruction, which increases
the need for district teachers to feel supported
in seeking professional development opportunities, said Hsieh.
But the new standards present another set of
difficulties in gauging how well the students
retain their lessons, she said.
State students officially took the Smarter
Balanced exam, designed to test lessons taught
through Common Core curriculum, for the
first time this year.
Ng said she supported the disciplines taught
through Common Core, as many are focused
on developing the critical thinking skills of students, and said the new testing system will be
necessary to understand how well those lessons are being absorbed.
We need the assessment test to know how
good we are doing, she said.
Williams said he too supported the new curriculum and testing system, but felt more information was necessary to glean a better understanding of how the lessons resonated with students.
I think we need a couple years of data, he
said. Theres nothing we can do with it yet.
But as standards and assessments change,
Williams said he is focused on ensuring students are still able to receive traditional lessons
which emphasize developing a broad base of
skills. As the district, and schools throughout
the state, ramp up their focus on science, technology, engineering and math curriculum,
Williams said it is important all types of lessons are still available.
If you push STEM too much, you push
away the things that make our culture rich, he
said.
Hsieh also noted the value of offering a wellrounded education, while catering to the evolving modern educational landscape. We value
educating the whole child, she said.
And though the role of technology can be a
valuable asset in education, there is still
tremendous value in the relationship between
students and their teachers, she said.
Ng said technology should not be the sole
focus of education, but can be used to supplement lessons in creative fields such as arts and
music. Technology is just another piece of the
education arsenal, she said.

Supporters of the legislation by
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, say

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California
has adopted the toughest limits in
the nation on the use of antibiotics
in healthy livestock, barring their
routine use to prevent illness or promote growth.
Calling the overuse of antibiotics
an urgent public health problem,
Gov. Jerry Brown announced
Saturday that he signed the legislation. The bill, SB 27, will curb the
overuse of antibiotics in livestock,
which limits the effectiveness of the
medicines in both animals and people and contributes to the spread of
dangerous, drug-resistant superbugs.
The science is clear that the
overuse of antibiotics in livestock
has contributed to the spread of
antibiotic resistance and the undermining of decades of life-saving

healthy animals such as cows, pigs

and chickens to make them grow
faster and prevent disease in crowded industrial farms.
Widespread use of antibiotics by
humans and animals reduce their
effectiveness in treating illnesses
because the diseases adapt by
mutating, creating superbugs.
Once-treatable
illnesses
can
become dangerous infections when
antibiotics are no longer effective.
The lifesaving potential of
antibiotics is quickly diminishing,
and people are dying because the
drugs are less effective, Hill said in
a statement.
Opponents argued that the
California legislation does not go
far enough to restrict preventive or
routine use of antimicrobial drugs.
Groups such as the California
Cattlemens Association remained
neutral on the bill.
Michael Hansen, a senior scientist

at Consumers Union, the policy

division of Consumer Reports, said
many companies have voluntarily
agreed to stop using antibiotics to
promote growth after guidance from
the Food and Drug Administration.
No state yet has been able to
pass a bill that is stronger than the
one in California, and the fact that
California is an important ag state,
that makes this an important
action, Hansen said.
The antibiotics are different from
the growth hormones used by many
food producers that have drawn criticism and that some grocery stores
and food chains have phased out.
Companies including McDonalds,
Chipotle and Panera also have
begun promoting their chicken as
raised without antibiotics.
Brown, a Democrat, vetoed a
similar version of the bill last year,
urging the state Department of Food
and Agriculture to work with law-

Prosecutor, police at odds in boys death

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio The Cleveland

police union and the local prosecutor
remain at odds even after the release of
expert reports that found a white officer
was justified in fatally shooting a 12year-old black boy last year.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim
McGinty accuses the Cleveland Police
Patrolmens Association of failing to
cooperate with the investigation into the
death of Tamir Rice. The union counters
that McGinty is just grandstanding.
It is the latest clash between a prosecutor and union who fought over the
prosecution of another officer in a racially-charged case in a city under federal
scrutiny for how its police force interacts
with the public.
The union operates by a double standard, McGinty said. It rightly asks the
general public to have the courage to cooperate with police in serious criminal investigations, yet when the conduct of officers
is being investigated, refuses to help.

Union President Steve Loomis said

McGinty is ignoring the rights that officers have to not give statements during
such investigations.
What he expects us to do, because
were police officers, is just ignore the
Constitution, Loomis said Sunday. He
added: We have rights like every other
American citizen out there. We have
rights just like the bad guys that were
interviewing.
The angry words come despite the
release of reports by McGinty that one
legal expert said appear to lay the groundwork for a grand jury to not indict any
officers in the death of Tamir, who was
shot and killed last year outside a recreation center while holding a pellet gun.
He can come in and hold a press conference, and say, Ive given the grand
jury everything, the grand jury declined
to indict, the case is now closed, Case
Western University law professor
Michael Benza said Sunday.
McGintys office on Saturday released
the reports from two outside experts into

the Nov. 22 shooting of Tamir by rookie

Patrolman Timothy Loehmann.
A retired FBI agent and a Denver
prosecutor both found that Loehmann,
who shot Tamir moments after the cruiser driven by his partner pulled up beside
the boy, exercised a reasonable use of
force. They concluded that Loehmann
had reason to perceive Tamir
described in a 911 call as man waving
and pointing a gun as a serious threat.
The expert reports came just a few
months after another white officer was
acquitted in the deaths of two black
motorists.
In May, a judge acquitted Michael
Brelo on voluntary manslaughter
charges in the November 2012 shooting
of Timothy Russell and Malissa
Williams after Russells beat-up car
backfired outside police headquarters,
prompting a high-speed chase with officers who mistook the sound for gunfire.
Brelo was accused of firing the final 15
shots of a 137-shot barrage while standing on the hood of Russells car.

makers on the issue. His office

helped make changes to this years
measure to strengthen protections
against using antibiotics to prevent
disease.
The bill allows exemptions when
a licensed veterinarian determines
antimicrobial drugs are needed to
treat a disease or infection, to control the spread of a disease, or in
relation to surgery or a medical procedure, according to an analysis
prepared for the Legislature.
The
California
Veterinary
Medical Association expressed
concern that veterinarians might
not be able to prescribe the drugs
preventively to treat diseases for
which there is no test available to
determine which animals are carriers.
The law, which takes effect in
2018, also eliminates the availability of livestock antibiotics for overthe-counter sales.

Salt Lake City may

name road for gay
civil rights leader
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY Salt Lake City could soon have a

street named after pioneering gay leader Harvey Milk, an idea
that reflects the progressive bent of the city thats home to the
Mormon church and capital of a conservative state.
City officials say they have been working with LGBT leaders on the initiative, which would place Harvey Milk
Boulevard near thoroughfares named for civil rights icons such
as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.
If approved, the name would go on 900 South, about a mile
and half from the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. Temple Square was the site of protests in
2008, after the Mormon church supported efforts to pass a
short-lived gay marriage ban in California.
But Salt Lake City also has supported an active lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender community. An annual gay pride
parade is the second largest in the state second only to a
yearly celebration of Mormon pioneers. When a judge overturned Utahs gay marriage ban in December 2013, Mayor
Ralph Becker presided over unions of same-sex couples who
flocked to wed in the hours after the ruling.
Weve had so many tremendous victories this year alone,
and I think Harvey really set the tone for the LGBT movement
how to be successful and organize us politically, said Troy
Williams, executive director of Equality Utah.

House GOP could support for Ryan for speaker

By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON If rebel conservatives

and
establishment
Republicans in the House can agree
on anything, its likely supporting
Paul Ryan for speaker.
Across the Sunday talk shows,
members of the Freedom Caucus
that helped drive Speaker John
Boehner toward retirement said
they could swing behind Ryan in the
wide-open race for a successor.
Thats what Boehner and his allies
want, too. But the fragile, theoretical consensus falls apart over just
how the speaker should wield
power.
Freedom Caucus members want
major changes in how the House
works, including shifting some
power from their speaker to committee chairmen. The ideal speaker,
these conservatives say, would
answer to Republicans, even if that
leads to such consequences as gov-

ernment shutdowns. Others

see the speaker
as responsible,
ultimately, for
governing
the minimum,
s e n i o r
Republicans
say, required to
Paul Ryan
maintain GOP
majorities in Congress and win the
presidency in the 2016 elections.
The
debate
tangles
the
Constitution with obscure House
rules and palace intrigue. But the
answer could help Ryan decide
whether to steer a caucus that many
say cant be led. The path forward
seemed to rest on Ryans answer,
which on Sunday remained, no
thanks.
Paul Ryan is a good man. Hes a
great communicator, the kind of
messenger I think our party needs,
Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim
Jordan, R-Ohio, said on Fox

News Sunday. And certainly, if

he gets in the race, I think our
group would look favorably on
him.
The prospect of Ryan as speaker
arose after a rollicking two weeks
on Capitol Hill, in which Boehner
announced his resignation and his
heir apparent, Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy, abruptly withdrew his candidacy. Freedom
Caucus members had presented
McCarthy with a list of demands
he and top aides concluded could
be next to impossible to meet,
including a seat at the leadership
table, a role in selecting committee
chairs and members, and more
votes on their legislative proposals.
A leadership crisis resulted, with
Ryan the only person widely
deemed acceptable to fill it
under certain conditions. He has
said repeatedly he doesnt want the
job, but is said to be thinking about
it.
One Republican close to Ryan

said that the only scenario in which

Ryan might end up as speaker is if
he were to be selected by unanimous acclamation, not subject to
bargaining with the Freedom
Caucus. This Republican demanded anonymity to discuss private
considerations.
Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho
agreed that its possible that he and
other members of the House
Freedom Caucus would support
Ryan or others. But first, Labrador
said, any candidate needs to talk to
the caucus and address the concern
that the speaker should more effectively push the Republicans agenda before making deals.
Its not about the who, its about
the what, Labrador told CNNs
State of the Union on Sunday.
What are we going to do in the
House to change the culture? What
are we going to do so we can get
247 Republicans together on the
same page?
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C.,

Aerosmiths Tyler asks Trump

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Aerosmith frontman

Steven Tyler is asking Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to stop using the
power ballad Dream On at campaign
events.
Attorneys for Tyler sent a second ceaseand-desist letter to Trumps campaign committee on Saturday.
The letter says that Trump does not have
our clients permission to use Dream On or
any of Tylers other songs and that it gives
the false impression that he is connected with

or endorses Mr. Trumps

presidential bid.
Tyler, who is a registered Republican, attended the GOP contenders
first debate in August.
Attorney Dina LaPolt
said in a statement that the
letter is not a political
Donald Trump or personal issue with
Mr. Trump, but its one
of permission and copyright.
Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to request for comment.

said he, too, would consider voting

for Ryan. First, hes got to make a
decision to run, Mulaney said.
And then I think hes got to convince me and some other folks that
if he were in charge, that the place
would be different.
Even Rep. Jason Chaffetz, RUtah, who launched a bid for speaker late last week, said he could be
open to the prospect of Ryan as
speaker.
We allow these good bills and
ideas to percolate from the bottom
up, rather than the top down-driven
process where the speaker is telling
the body what to do, Chaffetz, the
chairman of the House Oversight
and
Government
Reform
Committee, said on ABCs This
Week.
I think the speaker works for the
conference,
the
House
Republicans, he said.
Members of the GOP establishment remained squarely behind
Ryan.

Suicide bombers kill dozens at peace rally

By Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey Thousands

mourned the 95 victims of Turkeys
deadliest attack in years as state
inspectors tried Sunday to identify
who sent suicide bombers to a rally
promoting peace with Kurdish
rebels.
The government said Kurdish
rebels or Islamic State militants
were likely responsible, while
mourners accused President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan of fomenting violence to gain votes for the ruling
party.
No one has claimed responsibility, but the attack bears similarities
to a suicide bombing the government blames on the Islamic State
group that killed 33 Turkish and
Kurdish peace activists near a town
bordering Syria in July.

REUTERS

Police use tear gas and water cannon to disperse people marching to
protest the double suicide bombing in Ankara that killed up to 128
people in Diyarbakir, Turkey Sunday.

Police detained 14 suspected

Islamic State members Sunday in
the central Turkish city of Konya,
but it wasnt clear if they were related.
Some Turkish media declared that
peace itself was under attack. The
bombers struck hours before
Kurdish rebels battling Turkish
security forces followed through
with plans to declare a unilateral
cease-fire, to reduce tensions leading up to Nov. 1 elections.
Turkeys government rejected the
declaration, saying the rebels must
lay down arms for good and leave
the country. Turkeys military
meanwhile carried out more crossborder airstrikes against Kurdish
shelters and positions in the Zap and
Metina regions of Iraq.
While no one group has been
ruled out in the bombings, government opponents blamed security

forces for failing to protect the

peace rally.
The state which gets information
about the bird that flies and every
flap of its wing, was not able to prevent a massacre in the heart of
Ankara, said Selahattin Demirtas,
co-chairman of the pro-Kurdish
Peoples Democracy Party.
On Sunday, police fired tear gas
and scuffled with the mourners
some
chanting
Murderer
Erdogan! who tried to reach the
blast site to lay carnations. A group
of about 70 was eventually allowed
to enter the cordoned off area.
More than 10,000 also gathered in
Turkeys mostly Kurdish southeastern city of Diyarbakir, holding a
moment of silence for the victims,
including hundreds of wounded.
Thousands also demonstrated in
Istanbul on Saturday, blaming the
government.

Palestinians killed, Israelis Europe sees record surge of child refugees

wounded in latest violence
By Sylvia Hui

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM A wave of
Israeli-Palestinian violence showed
no signs of abating Sunday, as three
Palestinians, including a 2-year-old
and a 13-year-old, were killed by
Israeli forces, and four Israelis were
wounded in an evening stabbing
attack.
The attacks have been primarily
stabbings and shootings, but a
Palestinian woman seriously injured
herself when she detonated a gas
canister on Sunday. The attack,

which lightly wounded a police officer, was the first in the current round
of violence to involve such an
explosive device.
The unrest erupted last month
around the Jewish New Year, with
clashes beginning at a contested
holy site in Jerusalem and quickly
spreading to other parts of the city,
across Israel and into the West Bank
and Gaza Strip. At least 24
Palestinians, including eight attackers, have been killed by Israeli
forces, while five Israelis have been
killed in attacks.

KENT, England The bags are

packed, the goodbye hugs done. The
Afghan, Eritrean and Sudanese boys
are on the move again, but this time
its a happy occasion: After months
of hardship traversing continents,
the teenage refugees are finally on
the way to English homes where
they can settle down for a long
dreamed-of life in Europe.
The dozens of boys are unaccompanied child refugees who
have come to the end of a long,
risky journey by boat, foot, truck
and train. Upon reaching the

shores of Dover they were brought

to a reception center in Kent,
southern England, where they were
given temporary shelter. As the
teenagers leave for more permanent social housing or foster
homes, they are seen off by another group of boys who are eagerly
awaiting their turn.
Europes migrant crisis has seen
a record surge of unaccompanied
child asylum seekers fleeing civil
war, conscription and poverty at
home to countries including Britain
and Sweden, which have scrambled
to provide care for thousands of
newly arrived minors. Most are
boys aged between 14 to 18 hailing

from Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea

and Sudan.
Im happy to leave today, said
Sadiq, a shy 17-year-old Sudanese,
who said he wanted to become an
engineer. Like all the refugees
interviewed at the center, his full
name cannot be reported because
they are minors under government
care.
Like the other youngsters, Sadiq
had made it to Europe alone after
leaving behind his family, and may
never see his loved ones again. He
lowered his head when asked about
his homeland, where a years-long
conflict has killed thousands and
driven millions from their homes.

Examining new solutions to the housing shortage

By Steve Blanton

n Sept. 21, the San Mateo

City Council opened a dialogue with the community
regarding the severe housing shortage
facing the city. The situation is not
unique to San Mateo, but affects practically every community in the Bay Area.
Theres no silver bullet. No one
approach can solve the housing shortage while nurturing the character and
sense of place that makes us want to
live and work here, but there are things
we can do.
The San Mateo County Association
of Realtors, or SAMCAR, was present
on Sept. 21 and offered numerous suggestions to assist in solving the problem. We also continue to examine other
innovative ideas providing quality
affordable housing options for all of
our residents. One we are particularly
excited about is a concept called
Communities Together, developed by
incoming SAMCAR Boardmember
Ricardo Archila.
Communities Together can function
under the umbrella of a nonprot corporation, making it eligible to receive
grants from various government entities, other nonprots and donations
from private parties and corporations.
Cities which participate could require
that preference be given to existing residents who otherwise qualify when it

comes time to
selecting tenants.
The remainder of
the funding can be
raised through private investors who
will earn a secure
rate of return at 2
percent. This return
is many times better
than what can be obtained through an
investment in a certicate of deposit,
and is secured by the building. Tenants
can also invest if they wish (though
they are not required to), allowing them
to hold an ownership interest in the
building. Tenant deposits would also
earn the same 2 percent annual return
as investors.
Since there is no debt to service,
units in a subject building can be
offered at below-market prices. Since
the rate of investor return is xed at 2
percent, future rent increases would be
minimal and related to the maintenance
needs of the property. A pro forma
analysis of a six-unit property in San
Mateo selling for roughly $2 million
and assuming 100 percent investor
funding indicates that a studio apartment could be offered at $900 per
month, a one-bedroom apartment at
$1,600 and a two-bedroom apartment at
$1,900 per month. Based on advertised
rental rates, this represents at least a
$10,000 per year savings in rent for the

residents of these units, potentially

even more. If the project attracts grant
or donation funding, the rents could be
lowered further or additional properties
could be acquired.
An exciting component of the
Communities Together is that 10 percent of each months rent is set aside
for the tenant. Tenants will work with
an investment counselor to make
progress toward a nancial goal of their
choosing such as saving for a down
payment on a home, buying a business,
or sending a child to college. The
choice is entirely up to the tenant.
When the tenant chooses to leave, the
money is theirs. This concept has
already drawn the interest of the city of
Millbrae.
This is the type of innovative solution that makes communities better by
providing options that solve real problems for real people and helps them to
build bright futures. Through solutions
like the one outlined above, we can
give hard working people with families
and roots in the community the opportunity to improve their lives, to contribute to the life of that community, to
collaborate on an exciting venture that
benets all parties and to set them on
the path of the American Dream.
Steve Blanton is the CEO of the San
Mateo County Association of Realtors.
He lives in San Mateo.

Editor,
I am writing today to address
Measure S, the extension of voterapproved, locally-controlled funding
currently on the Nov. 3 all-mail ballot.
I want to take a moment to provide
facts regarding the impacts of Measure
S on the San Mateos public safety programs.
The San Mateo Police Department
and the city are committed to protecting our community and providing the
services that keep our neighborhoods
safe. The number of sworn ofcers in
San Mateo has stayed relatively at

The athome ballot

B

y now, your mail in ballot should have arrived.

Hopefully you have put it in a safe place, one you
will remember. I always put mine in a kitchen
drawer. If its on my desk with other papers, it wont be
found. So even if you are complaining that you liked the old
ways of going to your voting place to cast a ballot, when
Tuesday, Nov. 3 rolls around you wont have to get up early
to get to the polls before work, or take your lunch hour to
vote, or rush home from work. Instead, you will have
enjoyed the luxury of voting
at home. With plenty of
time to research the candidates and issues. Just
remember to mail in your
ballot on time. No stamp
needed!
***
For voters in San Mateo
and Foster City, the elementary school district has an
important measure on the
ballot. Measure X is needed
to provide space for the
growing school population.
This is a bond issue based
on your property assessment, $14.80 per $100,000
of assessed valuation. It has
taken two years of extensive community input to put this
measure together. It deserves your support. The ballot argument against from the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association
is absurd. They should just say we dont like taxes or bonds
so vote no. Instead they give a false set of reasons. In a
recent Daily Journal article, they talk about cutting operating
expenses of administrators. But the measure specically prevents this and in fact a bond is a capital expense, meant for
capital improvements. You could cut out all administrative
expenses and it wouldnt pay for the new classrooms needed
to accommodate growing enrollment in both cities. And yes,
having too many students in a class does negatively hurt
learning. Just ask any parent. Or student.
The city of San Mateo also has an important measure on
the ballot. This is the extension of a quarter-cent sales tax for
30 years. Measure S is needed to meet the demands of
FEMA ood water control (and in this age of rising sea levels, more important than ever), to repair the citys aging
streets and other necessary services. Hopefully, the city will
use some of these funds to work with downtown property
owners and restaurants to clean up those streets. And yes, the
Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association is against this, too.

Have you forgotten about the mass murders in Roseburg,
Oregon? If you followed the press coverage carefully one
interesting item was the experience of Australia which had a
shocking mass shooting in 1996 35 people were killed in
Tasmania. The newly elected conservative president acted
quickly to reform gun laws. High-powered ries and shotguns were banned. Uniform gun licensing requirements were
imposed for legally bought guns. A buyback program saw
the destruction of more than a million rearms. For the last
19 years, no mass shooting has occurred in Australia.
The campaign to get people behind this was Lets not be
like America. Thats a new wrinkle. I always thought we
were the poster child for other countries. As an editorial in
the Brisbane Times said: America prides itself on being a
light in the world for democracy and liberty. Yet within its
borders it is armed to the teeth. This is a tyranny borne on a
historical anomaly that must end. Surely, if the phrase land
of the free stands for anything, it is ensuring the freedom not
to have to live in fear of guns.
Everyone wants to be like the United States. We have the
best country, the best people, the best economy, the best culture, the best scenery. But our friends, Australia, the United
Kingdom and Canada, dont want to be like us when it
comes to guns and mass murder. They have parliaments
lled with politicians with guts. They dont have a business
lobby like the National Rie Association which owns
Congress. As a result, mass murders have gone down while
ours continue on a regular basis.

Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy was a bully. He ruined
many lives. But elected ofcials including President Dwight
Eisenhower were afraid to challenge him. Then during the
televised and widely watched McCarthy-Army hearings,
attorney Joseph Welch confronted and destroyed the senator
when he asked: Havent you done enough? Have you no
sense of decency, sir, at long last? Will someone in the
Republican Party, preferably someone running for president,
please be brave enough to stand up to the NRA and say
enough is enough?

No Social Security increase next year

By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For just the

third time in 40 years, millions of
Social Security recipients, disabled
veterans and federal retirees can
expect no increase in benefits next
year, unwelcome news for more
than one-fifth of the nations population.
They can blame low gas prices.
By law, the annual cost-of-living
adjustment, or COLA, is based on a
government measure of inflation,
which is being dragged down by
lower prices at the pump.
The government is scheduled to
announce the COLA or lack of
one on Thursday, when it releases the Consumer Price Index for
September. Inflation has been so
low this year that economists say
there is little chance the September
numbers will produce a benefit
increase for next year.
Prices actually have dropped
from a year ago, according to the
inflation measure used for the
COLA.
Its a very high probability that it
will be zero, said economist Polina
Vlasenko, a research fellow at the
American Institute for Economic
Research. Other prices other
than energy would have to jump.
It would have to be a very sizable
increase that would be visible, and I

dont think thats happened.

Congress enacted automatic
increases for Social Security beneficiaries in 1975, when inflation was
high and there was a lot of pressure
to regularly raise benefits. Since
then, increases have averaged 4 percent a year.
Only twice before, in 2010 and
2011, have there been no increases.

70 million Americans
In all, the COLA affects payments
to more than 70 million Americans.
Almost 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children
get Social Security benefits. The
average monthly payment is
$1,224.
The COLA also affects benefits
for about 4 million disabled veterans, 2.5 million federal retirees and
their survivors, and more than 8
million
people
who
get
Supplemental Security Income, the
disability program for the poor.
Many people who get SSI also
receive Social Security.
Carol Mead of Montrose,
Pennsylvania, said she and her husband were counting on Social
Security COLA to help them with
their finances.
My husband is working just so
we can pay our bills, said Mead, a
retired land-use administrator.
Hes 70 years old, and hes still
working in a stone quarry. Hes told

me a number of times that he thinks

hes going to have to work until the
day he dies.
More bad news: The lack of a
COLA means that older people
could face higher health care costs.
Most have their Medicare Part B
premiums for outpatient care
deducted directly from their Social
Security payments, and the annual
cost-of-living increase is usually
enough to cover any rise in premiums. When that doesnt happen, a
long-standing federal hold harmless law protects the majority of
beneficiaries from having their
Social Security payments reduced.
But that leaves about 30 percent
of Medicare beneficiaries on the
hook for a premium increase that
otherwise would be spread among
all.
Those who would pay the higher
premiums include 2.8 million new
beneficiaries, 1.6 million whose
premiums arent deducted from
their Social Security payments and
3.1 million people with higher
incomes.
Their premiums could jump by
about $54 a month; more for those
with higher incomes.
States also would feel a budget
impact because they pay part of the
Medicare premium for about 10
million low-income beneficiaries.
All beneficiaries would see their
Part B annual deductible for outpa-

tient care jump by $76, to an estimated $223. The deductible is the

annual amount patients pay before
Medicare kicks in.
This would affect all beneficiaries, said Tricia Neuman of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.
This kind of an increase is
unprecedented.
Senate Democrats have introduced legislation that would freeze
Medicares Part B premium and
deductible for 2016, but its
prospects are uncertain.
White House spokeswoman Katie
Hill said, We share the goal of
keeping Medicares premiums
affordable, are exploring all
options.
By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a
broad measure of consumer prices
generated by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It measures price changes
for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care,
recreation and education.
The COLA is calculated by comparing consumer prices in July,
August and September each year
with prices in the same three
months from the previous year. If
prices go up, benefits go up. If
prices drop or stay flat, benefits stay
the same.
The numbers for July and August

Beer brewers balance drafts and drought

By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FALLBROOK, Calif. Amid severe

drought, the water board in this Southern
California town imposed restrictions on
Fallbrook Brewing Co., just as the tiny
brewer doubled capacity to meet
demand for its craft beers.
To cut monthly water use by about 10
percent, owner Chuck McLaughlin
bought an extra 310-gallon tank to catch
water used in the brewing process to
reuse it for cleaning equipment. His new
brewhouse includes a chiller that uses
two-thirds less water than his old one.
As a small business, theres no extra
money to pay potentially thousands in
fines if he exceeds the limit.

So far, its been very close, said

McLaughlin, whose brewery is run out
of a former consignment shop in
Fallbrook, a town of 30,000 people
about 60 miles north of San Diego.
California has more craft breweries
small, independent beer makers that use
traditional ingredients than any other
state. More than 570 are in operation and
another 240 are slated to open, according
to the California Craft Brewers
Association. Craft breweries contributed
$6.5 billion to the state economy last year
alone, producing 3.5 million barrels.
A typical craft brewery uses up to 7
gallons of water to make 1 gallon of
beer. Some in California have decreased
that ratio to less than 5-to-1, but they are
still being asked to cut back to meet the

state mandate, which aims for

Californias overall urban water use to
go down by 25 percent when compared
with 2013.
No other state in the drought-plagued
West has taken such action.
Breweries are digging wells, installing
wastewater treatment plants and seeking
exemptions from local water boards that
control water use and can impose fines.
Some are shelving planned expansions.
Some breweries may be forced to
leave the state.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and other
established California breweries, such as
Stone Brewing Co., recently opened
plants on the East Coast. But they say
the motive was not the drought but to cut
transportation costs to those markets.

show that, overall, consumer prices

have fallen since last year. Fuel
prices are down by 23 percent from
a year ago, according to the August
inflation report. But prices for some
other goods and services, such as
health care and housing, are up.
Advocates argue that the governments measure of inflation doesnt
accurately reflect price increases in
the goods and services that older
Americans use.
The COLA is determined by the
buying power of younger working
adults, said Mary Johnson of The
Senior Citizens League.

Senior advocates
Many advocates for seniors want
Congress to adopt an experimental
price index that seeks to capture the
inflation experienced by Americans
62 and older. The Social Security
Administration estimates it would
increase the annual COLA by an
average of 0.2 percentage points
which still might not be enough to
generate a COLA for next year.
Lee Marshall of Greenville,
California, said the current inflation
index isnt good enough.
They have a formula that they
use that doesnt reflect the actual
cost of living, said Marshall, 68, a
retired laborer and casino dealer.
Just because the price of gas is
going down, that doesnt mean anything.

Southwest: Technical issues

delay hundreds of flights
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Southwest Airlines says hundreds of flights

have been delayed by technical issues that are forcing it to
check in some customers manually at airports and causing
long lines.
The Dallas-based company is asking travelers to arrive at
least two hours before their scheduled departures as the problems that began Sunday morning continued into the evening. It
is also asking customers to use airport kiosks to print boarding
passes and tags for luggage.
At Los Angeles International Airport earlier in the day, several dozen people crowded the Southwest terminal waiting to
be issued hand-written tickets. By late afternoon, Southwest
said about 450 of the 3,600 flights scheduled for the day had
been delayed.
E.J. Schultz, a reporter for Ad Age who was taking a
Southwest flight from Chicagos Midway International
Airport, said the airline was telling people at the gate that travelers with paper boarding passes were fine. But those who had
downloaded their tickets onto their mobile phones were told
they had to stand in line, he said.
Schultz said he didnt understand why Southwest didnt
announce that people should print out their boarding passes at
home before getting to the airport.

49ers foiled in final minute on Elis TD pass

Manning had a career-best 41 completions
in 54 attempts and his perfect throw to
Donnell finished off an 82-yard drive with a
12-yard touchdown. He passed for 441 yards
and became the winningest quarterback in
team history with 102.
This win is special, Manning said.
Donnell was between Antoine Bethea and
NaVorro Bowman, two of the 49ers best
defenders, when he leaped to snag the pass
in the back of the end zone before falling on
his back, the winning catch secured.
Thats a tough way to lose, Hyde said.
Battling back and being able to take the

lead and then they come up with the late

score to win is tough, but there were a lot of
good things we did out there.
New York (3-2) has won three straight and
leads the NFC East.
There were 20 plays of at least 15 yards in
the game, and San Francisco had three on its
late drive. Giants running back Shane Vereen
had the last long play, a 24-yarder. And
Manning, without his best weapon, Odell
Beckham Jr., for much of the final series,
engineered his 27th comeback victory in the
fourth quarter or overtime.

Riordan routs Serra

Gold-en finish
for Menlos D

The last time Archbishop Riordan defeated

Serra was in 2007.
Since that time, the Crusaders had dropped
seven straight to the Padres, totaling just 56
points during that span from 2008-14.
Saturday, Riordan bettered that meager total
by 10.
Despite jumping out to an early lead, Serra
(0-2 in WCAL, 2-3 overall) ultimately got
walloped by upstart Riordan 66-45 Saturday
at City College of San Francisco. The Padres
committed six turnovers, including five
fumbles four coming in the first half.
Riordan (2-0, 5-0) responded generating
600 total yards of offense via two big playmakers. Senior quarterback Jacky Luavasa
was 10-of-16 passing for 312 yards, with
four touchdown strikes of 64, 58, 56 and 76
yards. Senior tailback Raymone Sanders had
13 carries for 178 rushing yards.
Were striving for that, and obviously taking more risks than the past, Serra head
coach Patrick Walsh said. The catch is were
taking the chance of turning the ball over.
The Padres who gained an impressive
488 yards of total offense kept pace
through an explosive first quarter in which
the two teams combined for 61 points. Serra
held a 29-24 lead with two seconds remaining in the opening quarter, but the initial
fumble with by quarterback Leki Nunn
opened the floodgates.
Riordan capitalized on the ensuing play
when Luavasa threw a 58-yard touchdown
strike to Aiden Verba-Hamilton with no time
remaining on the clock. A two-point conversion to follow gave Riordan a 32-29
lead. The Crusaders never trailed again.
I think we were ready and, of course, they
were too, Walsh said. Riordan simply
played better.
Riordan has seen an amazing turnaround
this season under first-year head coach
Kevin Fordon. During their seven-year losing streak to Serra, the Crusaders never won
more than one game in West Catholic
Athletic League play. This year, they are

COURTESY OF NOEL SY

Menlo School senior Alex Gold took a circuitous route to landing the starting defensive
end gig this season. But, from there, he has
found a direct route to opposing quarterbacks.
The banged-up Knights finished strong for
a 35-20 win over Woodside in last Fridays
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
opener. While Menlo clung to a 21-20 entering into the fourth quarter, from there the
Knights defense went on lockdown.
Not only was Woodside shut out in the final
quarter, the Knights
defense forced three
turnovers
and
totaled five sacks
during the closing
12 minutes. All
told, Menlo had
eight sacks on the
day, with 3 1/2 sacks from each Gold and fellow defensive end, sophomore J.H. Tevis.
We were getting to the quarterback a lot
early in the game, but werent able to sack
him, Gold said. I think it was more a matter
of just keep on getting after it and we
finally were able to get to him.
This is Golds first season as a full-fledged
varsity starter. He was in line for a first-string
job last season, but played sparingly after
suffering a painful stress fracture in his back
while playing lacrosse his sophomore year.
He then got off to an injury-riddled start this
season with a bout of bursitis.
After missing Menlos opening game
against Carmel, though, he has gathered quite
a head of steam. Gold initially started at defensive tackle in his debut Week 2 against
Mission-SF. But the following week, when
senior defensive end Charlie Roth suffered an
ankle injury, Gold shuffled back to his natural
defensive end position.
Since then, the 6-foot, 185-pound Gold has
totaled 6 1/2 sacks on the year for the undefeated Knights.
Yeah, we like getting to the quarterback,
Gold said. We like forcing turnovers. Were a
pretty aggressive bunch.

Dodgers Utley suspended two games

By Mike Fitzpatrick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK This much is certain: Anyone

who bemoans that baseballs gone soft never
covered second base with Chase Utley bearing
down on a potential double play.
Whats not so clear is whether Utleys takeout slide Saturday night, the one that broke the
right leg of New York Mets shortstop Ruben
Tejada and created all this postseason clatter,
was a dirty play.

Its hard baseball, man, said closer

Kenley Jansen, Utleys teammate on the Los
Angeles Dodgers. The game has started to
become too sensitive.
Of course, thats not how the seething Mets
viewed it after Tejada was carted off in an air cast.
Before he could get the ball out of the
glove, hes getting tackled, infielder Kelly
Johnson said.
Slide would be generous, snarled an irritated Daniel Murphy.
Umpires on the field ruled it a legal play. But

after reviewing it from all conceivable

angles, Major League Baseball executive Joe
Torre called it an illegal slide and suspended
Utley for two playoff games Sunday night.
The infielder plans to appeal, according to
his agent, which could keep Utley eligible to
play this week.
The Mets released a statement saying they
completely support the decision and feel
this was the appropriate course of action.

No matter where your allegiance might
lie, it was a flash-point play that immediately dropped jaws and grabbed attention for
several reasons.
First, runners rarely go in that hard at second

earned a notable reputation for it.
Second, it led to a serious injury.
And third, it was the turning point in a playoff game that millions were watching.

Tulo keeps Jays alive in ALDS; Astros go up 2-1

Astros down K.C., take 2-1 series lead

ARLINGTON, Texas Troy Tulowitzki

drove in four runs, including a three-run
homer for his first hit this postseason, and
the Blue Jays avoided elimination in the AL
Division Series with a 5-1 win over the
Rangers in Game 3 on Sunday night.
The Blue Jays cut their deficit to 2-1 in the
best-of-five matchup.
Marco Estrada limited the Rangers to one
run and five hits over 6 1/3 innings, with four
strikeouts and no walks.
Texas has another chance Monday to clinch
the series at home. If not, a deciding Game 5
will be played Wednesday in Toronto, where
the Rangers won the first two games.
Tulowitzkis drive to left with two outs in the
sixth inning put the Blue Jays up 5-0. That was
two innings after he drew a bases-loaded walk.
He missed most of the final three weeks of the
regular season because of a cracked shoulder
blade and bruised muscles in his upper back.

Holland and Colby Lewis,

The Blue Jays had their leadoff hitter at second base to start each the third through fifth

In the sixth, the Rangers turned their fourth
double play in an as many innings when first
baseman Mitch Moreland fielded Chris
Colabellos hard-hit hopper with the bases
loaded, threw home for the first out and got
back to the bag to take the return throw.

And this one had all the qualities of a sports
injury that wont soon be forgotten like
Rose running over Ray Fosse at home plate, or
Lawrence Taylor snapping Joe Theismanns
leg on Monday Night Football.
Thus, the debate raged on.
I hate the fact that people keep saying he
plays the game hard. Everybody on the field
plays the game hard, said ESPN analyst Alex
Cora, a middle infielder during his playing
days. Theres a way you should play the game,
and this is not the way.
Theres no way you can do that, he added.
If Chase Utley doesnt retire and hes playing
next year, hes going to get drilled. Hes going
to get one in the ribs.
By now, most everyone with any interest
has seen a replay of the violent collision that
swung Game 2 of the NLDS in L.A.s favor.

With the Dodgers trailing by a run in the

seventh inning, Utley slammed into Tejada at
second base to make sure the Mets could not
complete a double play that would have kept
them ahead. Utley went in high and hard,
crashing into Tejadas legs and flipping the
shortstop head over heels.
The tying run scored, Tejada was wheeled off
with a fractured fibula and the Dodgers rallied
for three more runs in the inning, going on to
a 5-2 victory that evened the best-of-five
series at one apiece.
I feel terrible that he was injured. I had no
intent to hurt him whatsoever, said Utley,
an All-Star second baseman who knows
firsthand the perils of turning two. You
have to try and break up the double play.
Thats winning baseball.
But did it cross the line?
Takeout slides are an accepted part of the
game always have been. The general guideline is theyre within the rules as long as a runner doesnt go so far out of the basepath that he

cant reach second base.

But theres also an etiquette to it because the
later the slide, the more dangerous it can be.
Utley went down late, twisting himself
beyond the bag to clip Tejada rather than
attempting to touch second base. Tejada was in
a vulnerable position, with his back to the
oncoming runner, after reaching behind his
own body to glove an off-target toss from
Murphy and trying to make a spinning pivot.
A comment in the Official Baseball Rules
indicates umpires could have called an inningending double play if they determined Utley
interfered with Tejada.
They did not.
While I sincerely believe that Mr. Utley had
no intention of injuring Ruben Tejada, and was
attempting to help his club in a critical situation, I believe his slide was in violation of
Official Baseball Rule 5.09(a)(13), which is
designed to protect fielders from precisely this
type of rolling block that occurs away from the
base, Torre said.

HOUSTON Dallas Keuchel remained perfect at home with seven gutsy innings and
Chris Carter homered Sunday, leading the
Astros to a 4-2 win over the Royals to take a
2-1 lead in the ALDS.
The Astros could wrap up the best-of-five
series with a win over the defending AL champions in Game 4 on Monday.
Keuchel (2-0) worked out of jam after jam,
allowing five hits and one run with seven
strikeouts after going 15-0 at home this season, a modern major league record.
Luke Gregerson gave up a leadoff homer in
the ninth to Alex Gordon before finishing off
the Astros first playoff game in Houston in
10 years with a four-out save. It was save of
more than three outs in three years.
Jason Castro drove in two runs with a single
in the fifth that made it 2-1. Carlos Gomez, who
has a rib muscle strain, started for the first time
in the series and had an RBI single in the sixth.

The Cowboys (2-3) lost their third

straight without Romo and his top
receiver, and backup Brandon Weeden
lost his 11th in a row as a starter.

NINERS
Continued from page 11
Kaepernick was 23 of 35 for 262
yards and two touchdowns.
Its good offensively to get in a
rhythm like that, he said. Its
something that we can build off
moving forward, but we have to win
games. Thats why we play.
Beckhams speed and moves were
too much for the 49ers. He set up
New Yorks first touchdown by
using his elusiveness for a 31-yard
reception down the middle. His 15yard catch led to a 17-yard score on
which he spun neatly and sped down
the left sideline.
The touchdown was his last reception; he left with a hamstring
injury, something that has plagued
his short pro career, and returned
only briefly on the winning series.
Beckham finished with seven catches for 121 yards a week after he was
fined for punching a Bills player in
a win at Buffalo.
Anquan Boldin had eight receptions for 107 yards and a TD for the
49ers.
Both teams staged long drives all
night. In an opening half filled

with field goals, New York had possessions of 76, 81, and 66 yards,
San Francisco had a 76-yard series.
Aside from Vereens 2-yard TD
reception in the second quarter,
though, it was all field goals. Josh
Brown made 22- and 41-yarders for
the Giants, and Phil Dawson countered from 43 and 22.
The 49ers put together another
long march, covering 88 yards in
the third quarter, with Boldin
sparking the drive on a 37-yard
catch and run. He finished it with a
3-yard reception from Kaepernick
for a 13-13 tie.
Beckham gave the Giants the lead
with his final heroics of the night,
only to have San Francisco answer
with an 80-yard drive helped by a
28-yard pass-interference call
against safety Landon Collins.
Garrett Celek capped it with a 5yard reception.
Those lengthy series had become
more fruitful in the second half, but
the Giants had to settle for Browns
24-yarder with 4:29 remaining for a
23-20 lead. He tied his team record
with a 17th consecutive successful
field goal, but it left room for the
49ers to rally.
And, ultimately, for the Giants to
do the same.

INT return does in Raiders

against Broncos, Manning
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND After spending most of his career carrying

his team to wins, Peyton Manning is just along for the ride
this year with Denver.
Chris Harris Jr. returned a fourth-quarter interception 74
yards for a touchdown and the Broncos overcame a shaky day
from Manning to beat the Oakland Raiders 16-10 on Sunday.
You never know who its going to be, but weve got a team
full of play-makers on defense, Harris said. If we got to win
on D, we feel we can do it.
Theyve done it so far with 22 sacks, 14 turnovers and three
defensive touchdowns as Manning and the offense have struggled for long stretches.
Manning has more interceptions (seven) than TD passes
(six) through five games for the first time since his rookie
season. He was intercepted twice by 1998 draft classmate
Charles Woodson and failed to lead the Broncos (5-0) to an
offensive touchdown for the second time in five games.
We want to play better offensively, Manning said. We
want to do our job. Somehow, some way its about getting the
Denver Broncos a win. Theres no question offensively we
want to play better. ... Everybody wants to do a better job and
that starts with me.

Woodside opened the fourth quarter on the

verge of taking the lead back. The Wildcats
were looking at third-and-goal from the Menlo
3-yard line and ran a draw play to 6-2, 235pound senior fullback Sione Halaapiapi.
While Halaapiapi was held in check with 17
yards on 13 carries on plays from scrimmage,
he had gotten into the end zone with the same
draw play on a critical two-point conversion run
at the end of the first half to tie the game 14-14.
But this time Menlo was up to the challenge,
stacking the strong side with three tacklers
Gold, junior linebacker Charlie Ferguson and
junior defensive back Hayden Pegley who
stopped Halaapiapi for a 1-yard gain. Then on
fourth-and-2, Woodside tried to throw for the
touchdown; but as the Menlo rush converged
on Stockwell, the Wildcats QB started to throw
a desperation pass. It never left his hand, however, as Roth surged towards him to strip the
ball away for a turnover.
Menlo went on to score two touchdowns
over the next five minutes, with a 60-yard scoring run by Ferguson followed by a 45-yard pcik

6 by sophomore defensive back Robert Lopez.

And on the play prior to the interception,
Gold and Tevis sacked Stockwell for a 12yard loss. Gold and Tevis both emerged from
the pile with charismatic sack dances on that
one. When Gold again got to Stockwell on
the first play of the following drive, the
fiery defensive end came up with an entirely
new sack dance fingers pointed down,
fists pumping upwards.
After a talk with Menlo head coach Mark
Newton, however, Gold said that will be the
last time Menlo fans see the sack dance.
I kind of let the emotions get the best of
me, Gold said. Coach Newton talked to me
about that and I probably wont be doing the
sack dances anymore. But it was exciting.
Menlo intends to keep it exciting, though,
travelling to Half Moon Bay this Friday. The
battle of unbeatens will feature the most efficient defense in the PAL Ocean Division, as the
Cougars are coming off back-to-back shutouts
after doing a fair share of sacking themselves
last Friday in a 31-0 win at South City.

It was like is anybody going to stop
anybody? Fordon said. Ive never seen a
first quarter like that.
The Padres made some fireworks of their
own, opening the game with a five-play,
79-yard scoring drive capped by Nunns 45yard touchdown scramble.
Nunn totaled 159 rushing yards on 16
carries and threw for another 90 yards. And
the threat of his one-man ground attack
opened up the air show.
[He was] being patient, Serra wide
receiver Brandon Monroe said. What made
it better is [Riordan was] afraid of Lekis
legs. So, it opened up passing lanes.
While Monroe made two impressive
tightrope catches in the game, it was running back Kelepi Lataimua who caught

Nunns first TD pass. Riordan had closed

the lead to 8-6 with 7:33 remaining in the
first quarter, but Nunn fired right back with
a 31-yard screen to Lataimua for the score,
making it 15-6.
On Riordans next play from scrimmage,
Luavasa hit Verba-Hamilton for a 64-yard
TD. Monroe returned the ensuing kickoff
89 yards for a Serra score, making it 22-12.
After a Padres onside attempt gave
Riordan favorable field position, the
Crusaders took three plays to score on an
11-yard end-around run by Verba-Hamilton,
closing Serras lead to 22-18. The Padres
marched 65 yards on the next drive to score
on a 40-yard run by Lataimua, extending
the lead to 29-18.
Then Riordan scored on a kickoff return
with Jamarian Caston dashing 73 yards to

cut Serras lead to 29-24 with 44 seconds

left in the opening quarter. Serra looked
poised to keep the pressure on until Nunns
momentum-altering fumble with two seconds remaining in the quarter.
It was the first of three consecutive Serra
series to result in a fumble, and Riordan
took advantage with a 14-6 edge through
the second quarter. Then in the second half,
the Crusaders bettered the Padres 20-10,
including two stunning flea-flicker passes
from Luavasa, one to Cedric McAfree and
the other to Verba-Hamilton.
Serra sophomore quarterback Jack
Damelio came on in the second half and
completed eight straight passes for 136
yards. But he ended the day by throwing an
interception, Serras sixth turnover of the
game.

One of the secrets to Menlos defensive-line
success is third-year varsity senior John

Hes a great leader, Gold said. He has very

Hes the full package. Hes the real deal.
While Guiragossian wreaks havoc on the

his proficiency at getting to Woodside quarterback Scudder Stockwell that proved a gamechanger. He assisted on a big third-down stop

Its hard. Its really hard because we feel like
we left something on the field, Carr said. We
feel like we left wins out there.
Manning finished 22 for 35 for 266 yards but
was sacked twice and had two interceptions.
Denver ran for only 43 yards but used Harris
interception return and a sack-fumble by Von
Miller that set up a field goal to beat the Raiders.
This was Denvers second-lowest scoring regular
season with Manning as quarterback, ahead of
only a seven-point effort last year against St.
Louis.
We got to get better offensively, coach Gary
Kubiak said. The sad thing is we do some good
stuff and we dont finish anything. Thats whats
disappointing. Then it all keeps going back to

(Manning). Thats not fair.

The Broncos have now won eight straight in
this series but the Raiders had plenty of chances
in this one. Janikowski missed a pair of field
goals before Carrs late gaffe ended Oaklands
hopes.
Before Harris big play, the highlight of the
game had been the play of Woodson, who turned
39 on Wednesday. Woodson, who beat Manning
out for the Heisman Trophy in 1997, talked earlier in the week about wanting to get his first
interception against Manning.
He ended up with two, becoming the oldest
player in NFL history with more than one interception in a game.
Those things are the shiny things, the shiny
toys that you like, but its about wins and losses, Woodson said. Our mission is to win our
division and the only way we can do that is to
beat the team thats won it the last few years.
Today we dropped the ball on that.
Janikowski, who set a Raiders record by playing in his 241st career game, missed his second
field goal of the game from 40 yards after
Woodsons second interception, costing
Oakland a shot at the lead. Janikowski also had a
38-yard attempt blocked by Sylvester Williams
in the first quarter.
Hes had many great games and today wasnt
one, coach Jack Del Rio said.
The Broncos managed just two field goals on
three trips into the red zone. Brandon McManus
added a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter to
give Denver the lead for good.

Pan lacks magic at the box office

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Pan produced no Neverland magic at the

box office.
The fantasy, which cost an estimated $150 million to produce,
earned $15.5 million in its opening
weekend, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday making it one of the
worst bombs of the year. Early
tracking did not look promising for
the Joe Wright-directed film but still
predicted that Pan would open at
least in the $20 million range.
The PG-rated epic, sold as a Peter
Pan origin story and a lavish visual
feast, has had a bumpy ride from the
beginning, starting when actress
Rooney Mara, who is white, was
cast as Tiger Lily, who is historical-

ly Native American. The film, starring Hugh Jackman and Garrett

Hedlund, also had been pushed
from July to October. It has not been
well-received by critics, either.
Pan now ranks among 2015s
biggest flops, including Fantastic
Four
and
Tomorrowland.
International earnings dont look
promising either. The film brought
in a weak $20.5 million. For comparison, The Martian earned
$58.1 million.
This had a lot going against it,
said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior
media analyst for Rentrak.
He also believes competition in
the family market from the
Halloween-themed animated feature Hotel Transylvania 2 hurt
Pan.
Family films always have an

Biggest Loser, the popular reality show which tracks the dra-

matic journey people take on their very public quest to lose weight. We see their grueling physical challenges and emotional highs
and breakdowns. They laugh, sweat, cry,
hug a lot and swear at their trainers. At
PHS/SPCA, its all about one contestant,
Velma, an orange tabby who looks like a
pumpkin with fur, whiskers and four stumpy
limbs. We didnt make her that way she
arrived large and in charge, a touch over 25
pounds and its been a challenge helping
her shed weight. Most likely, she was simply overfed and her calories consumed
exceeded calories burned. We poke fun at
her, but this is a serious matter for cats and

audience, but that audience is

extremely fickle and hard to please,
just like the kids who go to these
movies, Dergarabedian said. You
just never know whats going to resonate.
Sonys high-wire spectacle The
Walk also stumbled in its first
weekend in wide release, after
debuting on IMAX screens last
week. The tale of Philippe Petits
tight-rope walk between the towers
of the World Trade Center earned
$3.7 million this weekend, bringing
its total to $6.4 million. Joseph
Gordon-Levitt stars in film directed
by Robert Zemeckis.
Not all was bleak at the box
office, though. Ridley Scotts space
adventure The Martian earned a
solid $37 million in its second week
in theaters, nabbing the top spot

once more. Its domestic total now

stands at $108.7 million.
Hotel Transylvania 2 took second place in its third weekend with
$20.3 million, bumping its total to
$116.8 million. Pan came in at
No. 3.
Nancy Meyers workplace comedy The Intern earned $8.7 million, and the border thriller
Sicario brought in $7.4 million,
rounding out the top five.
Outside the top 10, Steve Jobs,
the biopic of the late Apple CEO
directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, opened in four
theaters in New York and Los
Angeles to a powerful $520,942. Its
$130,000 per-theater average ranks
as the best of the year and should
bode well for the films expansion
across the next two weeks.

UConn mac and cheese incident spawns fundraisers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. UConn

students are trying to use an embarrassing video about macaroni and
cheese to raise a little cheddar.
The video of a fellow student
berating food service workers who
refused to sell him jalapeno-bacon
mac and cheese prompted a group
of students to start an online
fundraiser to give the beleaguered
employees a well-deserved night
out.
A top-20 research university
shouldnt have to be redeeming its
name after one bad egg goes and
ruins our reputation, said freshman
Sadie Rumsey.
Rumsey and her friends set up a
page
on
GoFundMe.com
(https://www.gofundme.com/vs5yv

ngw) to show their support for the

workers abused in the video captured inside the universitys student
union last week. As of Sunday, the
page had collected more than
$1,300.
The 9-minute, obscenity-laced
video clip posted online shows
freshman Luke Gatti arguing with
and eventually shoving Dave
Robinson, a food service supervisor. Police and the manager said
Gatti was refused service on Oct. 4
for carrying an open alcohol container.
The video, which became fodder
for late-night talk show hosts,
shows the 19-year-old questioning
why in America he cant have beer
in the building. He uses a gay slur
against Robinson and repeatedly
demands, Just give me some

BRIDGE
Continued from page 1
$2 million are suggested.
The council had originally pushed for a
replacement after Caltrans graded the bridge
poorly and the city secured nearly $7 million
in grants. But proponents of preserving the
bridge urged the city evaluate the structural
integrity before demolishing the historic arch.
The tests also unveiled a historical narrative. The structure, touted as the first concrete
reinforced bridge in the county, was actually
built with the support of six cables previously
used in San Franciscos cable cars, said
Interim Community Development Director
John Doughty.
A more technical revelation impacting the
status of the bridge, Caltrans changed its standards for evaluating bridges. This resulted in
the Half Moon Bay structure faring better
during the states latest biannual evaluation in
April, according to a staff report.
The 2015 results included a score of 49.1
for sufficiency and 81.9 for health index; an
overall better score than the 2013 ratings of
24 for sufficiency and 89.4 for health, according to the staff report.
Between the increased Caltrans score and
the consultants tests, the city has a stronger
change of repairing the bridge to a level that
could still meet some of the state and federal
requirements for funding, Doughty said.
The city was originally awarded grants to
bring the bridge up to modern standards so
staff must now apply for an extension and

(expletive) bacon-jalapeno mac and

cheese.
After shoving Robinson, Gatti is
tackled by another employee, is
arrested by a police officer and spits
at the manager before being led out
of the building.
Gatti, of Bayville, New York, has
not returned phone calls or an email
seeking comment. He is due in
court Tuesday on charges of breach
of peace and criminal trespass.
Rumsey, 19, of Exeter, Rhode
Island, said she is in discussions
with the school about how to make
sure the food service workers legally benefit from the donations. State
law and UConn policies restrict
workers from receiving gifts related
to their employment.
There is another potential problem: The school confirmed Sunday

seek exemptions to certain requirements that

cannot be met due to Measure F.
For example, the citizens measure prevents
the historic nature of the bridge from being
altered meaning it cant be widened
without approval of the voters.
Yet state and federal transportation officials
want to ensure improvements meet modern
standards and the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Currently, the northern approach angle to
the bridge doesnt meet modern standards, the
vehicle lanes are too narrow and cannot
account for bicycle paths, and the pedestrian
walkways which were added later on do
not meet ADA standards, Doughty said.
Its possible the bridges historic status will
encourage Caltrans to allow for an exemption
for these functional limitations to allow the
city to preserve the bridges width while still
being eligible for federal funding, Doughty
said.
Its unclear what limitations Measure F will
have over the bridges sidewalks which are
recommended to be renovated as the retaining
joints are corroded and the wooden deck isnt
in compliance with ADA. The pedestrian
paths were added much later on, in the late
1940s and 1990s, therefore its not a historic
attribute, Doughty said.
While engineers have recommended both
structural and functional repairs like the
pedestrian walkways are conducted at the
same time, Measure F poses challenges and it
will be important for the community to work
together on a solution. Since Measure F, a
Main Street Bridge Committee was composed
of 10 community members and they will play
an important role moving forward, Doughty
said.

that Robinson had already planned

to move out of state and was working his final shift that night.
But university officials have been
moved by the outpouring of support, said Stephanie Reitz, a school
spokeswoman.
They are discussing ways to do
something special to recognize the
dining services workers, not just
for the handling of this incident, but
also for the ongoing hard work and
great service they provide our students, employees and guests, she
said.
The school has also been contacted by three other groups, some from
out of state, who inquired about
fundraising campaigns, Reitz said.
Reitz said one of them is now
working on a giant thank you card
for the food service workers

Another alternative would be to create a

separate pedestrian and bicycle bridge into
downtown but environmental restrictions
are immense as the city has learned during its
recent work on the Pilarcitos Creek Bridge,
Doughty said. However, the city was awarded
a nearly $500,000 grant from the San Mateo
County Transportation Authority specifically
for bicycle improvements which could go
toward a project like this, Doughty said.
The engineers originally reported estimates
for repairs could be as low as between
$500,000 and $1 million. However, that didnt take into account design costs, whether it
will include walkway improvements and the
lengthy environmental and permitting process
as well as mitigation efforts, according to the
report.

Can the gap be bridged?

Some had hoped time would help to repair
the rift amongst the council and citizens who
sought a replacement versus those who wanted to preserve the historic structure. Doughty
said some may be inclined to offer an I told
you so as members of the community urged
testing be done sooner, but he noted Caltrans
previous reports played a key role in why officials assumed replacement would be better.
Mayor Marina Fraser said its important for
the city to proceed with making the bridge
safer and ADA accessible while preserving its
historical nature as part of Measure F. She
emphasized the council was facing increas-

instead.
And a local franchise of the D.P.
Dough restaurant chain has already
donated $600 in proceeds to a childrens cancer charity after adding
jalapeno to its bacon mac and
cheese calzones.
The franchise owner, Cory Hill,
said he went through 125 pounds of
macaroni and cheese in the last
week, compared to the normal 20
pounds.
I felt a little weird profiting from
this situation, he said. Thats
when I decided to donate the proceeds to charity. Were probably
going to keep it going.
Reitz said Gatti is still enrolled in
the school, and federal law prohibits
her from discussing his specific
case, which could lead to a hearing
and eventually expulsion.

ingly poor news from state transportation

officials when they initially voted to replace
the structure.
My concern was originally from the
Caltrans report, and thats what had us going.
Because for 20 years, no council touched this
and as each year went on, the rating got lower
and lower, Fraser said, noting many sought
to relieve the burden on taxpayers by seeking
grants and complying with federal standards.
Obviously, the bridge was very emotional
for many people and I completely understand
that. But given the information at the time,
and making safety and ADA accessibility [a
priority], that was what I based my decision
on, Fraser said.
Moving forward, Fraser said the community spoke clearly during Measure F and shes
hopeful theyll still be able to receive grants
to conduct repairs.
Others seem less convinced that the issues
the Main Street Bridge highlighted concerning the citys governance have subsided.
The results of the bridge testing are clear:
Half Moon Bays big problem is not a failing
bridge. Our big problem is unaccountable
government,
Councilwoman
Debbie
Ruddock, who was motivated to run for election after the bridge debacle, wrote in an
email. The good news is we can fix the
bridge and City Hall if we want to.

rms partners.
Sultan said the construction company has
called for the district and auditing rm to
rescind the report, but Leavitts letter indicates
the auditor is unwilling to entertain such a
notion.
Part of the reason the district fell into a spending shortfall for the bond, according to the audit,
is an extensive amount of amendments to the
original contract agreed upon by the district and
the contractor.
These agreements happened behind closed
doors, according to the audit, under the direction of former district bond director Larry Scott,
who was granted unprecedented levels of
autonomy to control the bond fund.
Representatives from USS Cal Builders did
not feel comfortable taking some meetings with
Scott, according to the construction companys
audit response letter, and felt pressure to offer
the district discounted work rates under the
threat of potentially losing additional projects.
The auditor said such an relationship is
indicative of exactly the kind which would lead
to a mismanaged facilities spending plan.
USS Cal describes a hostile negotiating
environment that would seem more typical of a

dictatorship than a public school district, complete with unreasonable demands and threatening ultimatums, according to Leavitts letter.
Trustee Maurice Goodman had called Scott
by far one of the best in the region at what he
does, last June after the district had completed
its rst stage of construction on the bond project.
Measure J, worth $162 million, was approved
by district voters in 2010. The nal phase of
construction is expected to begin in the summer
of next year.
Under the recommendation of former superintendent Alejandro Hogan, trustees granted
Scott authority to manage the bond fund without much, if any, oversight, according to the
audit, which was one of the primary reasons the
spending plan was botched.
Hogan and Scott are no longer employed by
the district.
In response to the audit, the district has established new policies which require the board to
approve any future change orders or bond
money allocation.
But Sultan said the new regulations, as well
as the unfamiliarity of recently hired ofcials
with intricacies of the bond, has slowed down

the construction process which may ultimately

cost the district more money as crews hired to
work are held at a standstill while waiting for
approval from the board.
It is costing us more money to perform the
same job, he said.
Sultan contends USS Cal Builders has actually saved money for the district, limiting some of
the potential loss the bond fund may have faced,
which is unjustiably being met with a report
which harms its reputation.
Our main concern is that the district should
give the truth to the public, he said. Its not
fair after all the saving and the work we did for
the district to be shown in this way.
He said he is optimistic the new district leadership, under Moore and Assistant
Superintendent Michael Krause, will help mend
the relationship between the district and the
builder.
Hopefully, the new team will get a little bit
familiar with the system to avoid extra delays
and cost to the district and move on to nish up
the project, he said. We are almost there and
we want to nish up the work on as good of a
note as we started.

ground, a lot of the students are really excited to

be out in open space trying the food and making the connection between what they eat and
how its grown. Theres a lot that can happen
when you build that connection, Markham
said, noting they offer a sliding scale for field
trip fees based on the number of students that
qualify for the free or reduced priced meals program.
San Mateo County Supervisor Don Horsley,
who represents the coast, said he remembered
what it was like to be restless in school and was
pleased to support kids ability to get outdoors,
visit a farm and witness how much work goes
into farming.
Many kids just think everything comes out
of a store. But its grown out in a field, requires
a lot of work, a lot of tender loving care to produce the food that goes into our supermarkets
and kitchens and dinner tables. It also introduces kids to healthy eating, Horsley said. I
learned better by hands-on and I think a lot of
kids do too. I think by taking kids out of a class-

room to learn something kind of re-energizes

them and gets them interested in school.
Horsley and HEAL Project staff noted their
appreciation for Dave Lea, who owns Cabrillo
Farms and set aside the land on which the
School Farm is located.
San Mateo County Health Officer Dr. Scott
Morrow initiated the countys involvement in
the program years ago and said hes thrilled
youth will continue to be given this vital opportunity.
Perhaps most impressively, Morrow said parents of the children who visit the HEAL
Projects farm frequently note how their picky
eaters are suddenly interested in fruit and vegetables.
Morrow said opportunities like working in a
school garden or a visit to the farm can be
extremely influential in a childs life.
What we really want to do is coordinate the
curriculum theyre getting in the classroom to
their experience on the farm, Morrow said,
noting a field trip such as this extends beyond

promoting health eating. All the studies suggest that kids who are able to have experiential
learning like this have much better academic
achievements overall.
For many children, particularly those who
come from low-income families, a chance to
visit a farm or even leave their city is rare
making the countys support of the program
pivotal in the lives of many youth, Morrow
said.
We have a lot of kids in our community who
have actually never left their neighborhood.
They never get to visit the redwoods, they never
get to the beach, Morrow said. So this is an
attempt to really allow kids who may not have
opportunities in their whole childhood experience, to be on a farm. Be away and in a safe
environment.

pleted as soon as possible; and the landlord

owes relocation benefits to its tenants during the
period of uninhabitability, Goldman wrote in
the email.
The initial dispute with the landlord was the
likely result of a complaint Gibson made about
a bad smell in her closet from mold, she said.
It has since spiraled into a nightmare that triggered the landlords to seek a restraining order
against her Wednesday, she said.
A Burlingame police officer phoned Gibson
and allegedly requested that she no longer text,
email or phone her landlords.
Goldman confirmed that the landlord called
the police.
Our officer was dispatched at the request of
the landlord, who wanted police response about
the possibility of getting a restraining order. Our
officer advised about the process of getting a
restraining order, which would be the sole
responsibility of the landlord. The landlord
asked our officer to call Ms. Gibson to relay his
request that she not contact him further, and that
he (the landlord) would reach out to her with

any money that she is owed. Our officer did

suggest that she might want to seek legal counsel regarding this matter. There is no further
investigation or action by the Burlingame
Police Department, Goldman wrote the Daily
Journal in a second email.
Gibson wonders why the landlords havent
evicted her and now just wants the relocation
assistance she is entitled to so she can move out.
She doesnt have the money now to move
and recently lost her job as a nanny. If the landlords do pursue a restraining order against her,
it could jeopardize her Trustline certification as
a nanny in the future, Gibson said.
She also applied to live somewhere else but
her current landlords allegedly gave her a bad
reference, Gibson said.
She has sought the help of Burlingame
Mayor Terry Nagel and has even met with staff
members of Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, DSouth San Francisco.
Nagel told the Daily Journal Wednesday that
the city has offered Gibson all the help it can.
Gibson also said shes had a hard time find-

ing legal assistance. The city cannot act as

Gibsons lawyer in securing the various rights
and penalties she may be entitled to, Goldman
wrote.
The Daily Journal contacted two of the buildings owners by telephone, one refused to comment but the other did.
We dont want to get into specifics. This is
really about miscommunication between a tenant and landlord and unfortunately Donnas
communication is so poor, Christopher
Dunning said.
We would not indicate whether the bathroom
would be fixed soon but said the family takes
good care of the building at 2005 Murchison
Drive. He also said the story was not newsworthy.
The city also deemed the adjoining apartment
to Gibsons a public nuisance and uninhabitable.
Gibson was under the impression the work on
her unit would be complete in two weeks and
that she would return home to a beautiful new
bathroom. She was wrong.
