Study: Students struggle with mental health


Experts say local trends mirror rise of uneasy feeling among state students
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Feelings of deep sadness,


depression and thoughts of suicide
are on the rise among students
across the state, according to a
recent report, and local school
mental health experts are witnessing the same trends take hold in
San Mateo County.
More than one third of
California students admitted they

had experienced feelings of chronic sadness and hopelessness,


illustrating an incremental rise in
such emotions from years past,
according to a report from the
state Department of Education
issued Monday, July 18.
Students experiencing pressure
to keep pace with the high rate of
academic achievement common in
many local classrooms, feeling
the pinch of the cost of living at
home or generally struggling to

make sense of existing global turmoil could contribute to the


heightened trepidation among students in San Mateo County, said
experts.
Of the more than 36,000 students surveyed between 2013 and
2015 in the state report, 31.7 percent of high school freshman said
they had experienced feelings of
severe sadness or hopelessness,
representing a 1 percent hike from
the previous survey taken between

2011 in 2013.
The same feelings were even
more common among older students, according to the report
showing 33.8 of high school juniors struggled with deep depressive symptoms, an uptick of .8
percent from the years prior.
Seventh-graders also experienced
a marginal uptick in such feelings,
from 25.3 percent to 25.6 percent
in the most recent study. Thoughts
of suicide for freshmen held firm at

19.3 percent since the previous


state report, but jumped from 17.5
percent to 18.7 percent among
juniors.
Jenee Littrell, director of Safe
and Supportive Schools for the
county Office of Education, said
she has witnessed a rise in such
emotions among local students
too.

Six of San Mateos 20 cities


oppose proposed legislation that
could lead to a drop in board members at the Mosquito and Vector
Control District from 21 to seven.
The legislation, Assembly Bill
1362,
was
introduced by
Assemblyman Rich Gordon-DMenlo Park, in early 2015 with an
original goal to allow all such districts in the state, there are 62, to
change governance if a majority
of cities in the district choose.
But the cities of Brisbane, Daly
City, East Palo Alto, Foster City,
San Bruno and Redwood City plan
to send letters to the Senate
Governance
and
Finance
Committee urging opposition to
the bill.
We were surprised by it,
Redwood City Mayor John
Seybert said of Gordons bill.
Seybert said that Gordons office

officials while

bill.
The proposal

proposal,
if
approved, would allow cities to
vote on whether they want to
change the governance of the
board. The bill has since been
amended, however, to only apply
to San Mateo County.
Currently, each city has a representative on the board, 20, and the
county has one.
AB 1362 would allow the Board
of Supervisors to appoint two
members to the board and a special
committee to appoint five others
from each supervisor district.

Headlined Women Pilots Make Moving
Targets, the sign honors three women who
flew airplanes that took part in target practice.
I wondered who was doing the shooting
and discovered there was a huge anti-aircraft
school that trained more than 320,000 men.
The bases land extended from the
Montara lighthouse to Half Moon Bay

called the Anti-Aircraft Training Center, the

when the Japanese resorted to using
kamikaze suicide planes during the latter
part of the war.
There is little on the internet about the
center, but, luckily for historians, the San

has a well-preserved copy of the final edition of The Ack Ack, the station newspaper which proclaimed that the centers mission was to train sailors to knock the

The newspaper reported that in 1944

of the few in the country, eventually included six barracks, an administration building,
eight ammunition magazines, a hangar and

manager. J.O. Oeswein who lives near the
site, called the area a historic place and
added that some residents fear developers
might wipe out what little remains.
According to Oeswein, some building
foundations are still evident and can be
identified from the site map, adding that it
would certainly be a shame to see these
foundations destroyed via development and
lose what is undoubtedly an important part
of our national and coastside history.

RWC police patrol on bikes, foot


New substation coming to downtown
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Downtown Redwood Citys continued growth has prompted the


Police Department to add more
officers to patrol the area both on
foot and bicycle.
Police Chief JR Gamez has
implemented a Downtown Service
Unit, comprised of five officers,
that will soon have its own substation across from Courthouse
Square on Broadway.
The unit is in response to the
growing number of residents who
now call downtown home, the
thousands of office workers who
flood the area during the day and
the high number of events that
downtown hosts, Gamez said
Thursday.
Downtown is now a neighborhood, Gamez said.
Getting officers out of their cars
to patrol on foot and bicycle is
meant to increase the community
engagement downtown, he said.

The unit will also strengthen


relationships with the business
community, he said.
The substation, next to the Fox
Theatre, is expected to open at the
end of this month and will be a
meeting place for residents and
officers to engage each other.
The unit will also focus on identifying the chronic homeless
downtown in an attempt to get
them off the streets and into shelters that will provide additional
wraparound services.
Its like a HOT team on
steroids, said Gamez about the
concept of homeless outreach
teams.
A single officer is in charge of
the departments homeless program who then works with patrol
officers weekly to discuss how
best to address the issue. The
department also partners with
local nonprofits to reach out to
the homeless and the downtown
unit will play a key part in that.

keep a keen eye on the Sequoia

Although there have been an
increase in calls from downtown,
overall violent crime has dropped
in the city by 8 percent, Gamez
said.
The increased calls downtown
are simply because there are more
people living there now, Gamez
said.
The city also got a good deal on
renting the office space for the
substation, Mayor John Seybert
said.
Adding more officers downtown
is also a natural progression,
Seybert said.
We had a vision long ago about
what we knew would be necessary, he said about increased
growth downtown and the addition
of more officers patrolling the
area.
The substation will allow police
to better connect to the community, he said.
Its about having healthy relationships with the community,

Like a freight train: Wildfire guts 18 homes


By Christopher Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Flames raced


down a steep hillside like a
freight train, leaving smoldering
remains of homes and warnings
that more communities should be
ready to flee the wildfire churning
through tinder-dry canyons in
Southern California, authorities
said Sunday.
Planes and more than a dozen
helicopters dropped water and

Friday that has destroyed 18
homes and blackened more than
34 square miles of brush on ridge-

lines near the city of Santa


Clarita. About 300 miles up the
coast, crews were battling another
fire spanning more than 16 square
miles outside the scenic Big Sur
region.
Near Santa Clarita, residents of
some 1,500 homes were evacuated, and authorities have found a
burned body in a neighborhood.
Shifting winds were pushing
flames northeast through Angeles

evacuations were ordered in the
city of Acton and other residents
were warned to prepare to leave,
authorities said.

Uber driver arrested on
suspicion of sexual assault
A Redwood City-based Uber driver was
arrested Saturday on suspicion of sexually
assaulting a female passenger as he was giving her a ride home Friday evening from
Palo Alto, police said.
Rodolf Vjerdha, 59, was arrested at 4 p.m.
in East Palo Alto after police saw him in a
burgundy 2014 Kia Optima that he was
allegedly driving Friday evening.
That evening, the victim was socializing
with friends in Palo Alto when she a requested a ride using the Uber app, according to
police.
She opted to use Uber Pool, which would
allow her to share the ride with other passengers.
Allegedly, Vjerdha arrived in the 200
block of University Avenue and picked up
the victim. Allegedly, Vjerdha told the victim to get in the front seat because he was
expecting other passengers.
She did not want to ride in the front but
finally did so, police said.
When she got in, allegedly Vjerdha called
the other prospective riders to tell them he
could not pick them up because they were in
the opposite direction from where he was
going.
While he was driving the victim home,
allegedly he locked the vehicle and touched
the victims leg several times.
The victim asked Vjerdha to stop the
vehicle, but allegedly he continued to drive.
Once he was at the victims home, he
allegedly kissed her and asked her to let him
into her apartment.
The victim turned down his request and
she could not exit the vehicle because

Sunday, breathing a big sigh of
relief, she said.
More than 1, 600 firefighters
were battling the flames threatening homes and commercial buildings. The blaze, whose cause is
under investigation, sent up a
huge plume of smoke visible
across the region.
The body of a man was discovered Saturday in a burned sedan
outside a home in the fire zone.

Sierra. An estimated 250 to 300 wolverines


survive in remote areas of Montana,
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington
state, according to wildlife officials.
Prior to the 2008 sighting, scientists
were convinced fur trapping during the early
1900s had wiped out the species in
California. Now, a warming planet is threatening to shrink the deep mountain snows
that wolverines need to den, scientists say.
The male carnivore near Lake Tahoe
apparently migrated from the Sawtooth
Range in Idaho, Stermer said.
Since then, the animal that scientists
nicknamed Buddy has been detected more
than 20 times over nearly 300 square miles,

2014, Stermer said.
Video from the remote cameras soon provided additional evidence. One clip recorded

Drought hits Northeast, could last months


By Michael Casey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. At Lavoies


Farm in New Hampshire, beans
and corn havent broken through
the ground yet and fields of strawberries are stunted.
The drought that has taken hold
in the Northeast is especially felt
at John Lavoies farm in Hollis,
presenting him with some tough
choices. Irrigation ponds are drying up, forcing him to choose
between tomatoes and berries or
apple and peach trees.
Lavoie decided to hold off watering the fruit trees so he could
quench the tomato and berry
plants before they succumb to the

heat.
We need some rain pretty
quick, Lavoie said. There is just
some corn that wont make it. A
lot of things we would like to give
water to, we cant.
The dry blast in New Hampshire
is being felt throughout the
Northeast, from Maine to
Pennsylvania, driven by a second
year of below-average rainfall.
Though not as dire as the West
Coast drought of five-years running, the dry, hot weather has
stressed farms and gardens,
prompted water restrictions and
bans in many towns and threatened to bring more wildfires than
usual.

Baton Rouge to continue to
mourn officers slain in ambush
BATON ROUGE, La. The city of Baton Rouge will continue to memorialize officers slain in a shoot-out outside a
convenience store just a week ago with funeral services
planned Monday for police officer Montrell Jackson.
Just days before he was shot and killed, Jackson posted an
emotional Facebook message saying he was physically
and emotionally tired and expressing how difficult it was
to be both a police officer and a black man.
All 1,500 seats were filled in Istrouma Baptist Church
Saturday, where a public funeral was held for Baton Rouge
sheriffs deputy Brad Garafola, 45. On Friday, hundreds
turned out for a funeral service for police officers Matthew
Gerald, 41. A multi-agency memorial service for the three
officers is planned for Thursday.

ern New York, Massachusetts and


southern parts of New Hampshire
and Maine, its been dryer than in
a decade or more. And national
weather experts predict the
drought will persist at least
through the end of October.
The Northeast is a little bit of a
mixed bag, but the bottom line is
that the conditions have deteriorated over the past several weeks
to a couple of months, said Rich
Tinker, a drought specialist at the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
If there were a drought epicenter,
it
probably
would
be
Massachusetts. More than 74 percent of the state, according to the
United States Drought Monitor, is

experiencing some degree of


drought and almost the entire state
is dry.
Many Massachusetts farmers are
hurting, said Katie CampbellNelson, a vegetable production
specialist with the UMass
Extension. Yields and quality are
down, and irrigation costs are up.
Some farmers are abandoning
crops because its not worth the
financial risk of harvesting
them, Campbell-Nelson said.
The dry conditions have raised
the risk of wildfires in
Massachusetts, said Dave Celino,
chief forest fire warden for the
state Department of Conservation
and Recreation. Typically, the
state records about 1,600 wildland

fires a year. But this year, its


already seen more than 1,000.
Meanwhile, some wells are
going dry in Connecticut. And the
blueberry crop in Maine will be
slightly smaller this year than the
past two, said Nancy McBrady,
executive director of the Wild
Blueberry Commission of Maine.
In New Hampshire, the Lavoies,
like their farming neighbors, are
spending twice as much and committing 90 percent of their labor
to watering. Theyve instituted
drip agriculture and other conservation measures to ensure every
drop of water goes farther and lasts
longer. Its a smart move, especially since it may be months
before they see any relief.

ABLE accounts help people


with disabilities save money
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new type of savings account is on


the scene, designed specifically for
people with disabilities: ABLE
accounts.
These tax-advantaged savings
accounts were made possible by a law
passed in 2014. Theyve been popping up across the country but because
they are fairly new and some terms
have recently changed, there is still a
learning curve.
We spoke to the National Disability
Institute to help clarify what you need
to know:
WHAT ARE THEY? ABLE
accounts are tax-free savings accounts
for individuals with disabilities. The
money in them can be used to cover
certain expenses such as education,
housing and transportation. While the
beneficiary is the account owner, contributions can be made by anyone with
post-tax dollars.
Any income earned by the accounts
will not be taxed. All withdrawals are

tax free as long as they are used for


qualifying expenses.
WHY ARE THEY NEEDED?
According to the NDI, millions of people with disabilities and their families
rely on public benefits for health care,
food and more. But eligibility for
some of these benefits is contingent
on not having more than $2,000 in
assets.
It forces them to live in a life of
poverty at all times, said Chris
Rodriguez, senior policy adviser at
NDI.
ABLE accounts let people hold savings without affecting their eligibility
for benefits. They are lower cost and
have different terms than previous
options, such as a Special Needs Trust
or Pooled Income Trust.
WHO IS ELIGIB LE: ABLE
accounts are open to people with significant disabilities as long as those
disabilities existed before the age of
26. If you meet the age criteria and are
already receiving benefits under
Supplemental Security Income or the

Social Security Disability Insurance


program, you automatically qualify. If
you do not receive SSI or SSDI, you
could be eligible if you meet certain
criteria and receive a physicians letter
certifying that.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE:
The total contribution is limited to
$14,000 a year. But the total amount
that can be contributed over the life of
the account is determined by each
state.
WHERE DO I GET ONE: The programs are established and operated at a
state level, much like 529 college savings plans.
While individuals once had to open
an account in their home state, this
provision has been eliminated. So
youre free to enroll in a program in
your own state or any other program
that accepts out-of-state residents.

accounts v isit the ABLE National
Resource Center operated by NDI at

Hacked emails complicate convention


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA On the heels


of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton hopes
her gathering in Philadelphia will
show off a forward-looking
Democratic Party united behind
her steady leadership. But to do
that, she must overcome lingering
bitterness among supporters of
defeated rival Bernie Sanders and a
political mess and last-minute
leadership shake-up of the partys
own making.
The
Democratic
National
Convention was set to kick off
Monday as a week of optimistic
celebration with high-powered
elected officials and celebrities reintroducing Clinton to a general
election audience. But the effort
was complicated by the publication of 19,000 hacked emails on
the website Wikileaks, suggesting
the
Democratic
National

Committee had
p l a y e d
favorites
for
Clinton during
the primary.
The
chairwoman of the
De m o c r a t i c
Na t i o n a l
Hillary Clinton C o m m i t t e e ,
D e b b i e
Wasserman Schultz, announced
abruptly Sunday afternoon that
she would step down at weeks
end. Sanders had called earlier
Sunday for her departure.
Wasserman Schultz has been a
lightning rod throughout the presidential campaign for criticism
from the partys more liberal
wing, with Sanders repeatedly
accusing the national party of
favoring Clinton despite officially being neutral.
Im not shocked, but Im disappointed, Sanders said of the

hacked emails, one of which questioned whether his religious


beliefs could be used against him,
on ABCs This Week.
Clinton and President Barack
Obama each released statements
praising Wasserman Schultzs
leadership. Theres simply no
one better at taking the fight to
the Republicans than Debbie,
Clinton said.
The self-inflicted wounds could
hamper the Clinton campaigns
effort to portray the partys convention in a different light from
the just-concluded Republican
gathering in Cleveland. Donald
Trump accepted the GOP nomination, but party divisions flared
when his chief rival, Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz, refused to endorse the
billionaire businessman.
Trump appeared to relish in the
Democratic chaos Sunday, writing, The Dems Convention is
cracking up.

At the Republican convention,


Trump cast himself as the law-andorder candidate in a nation suffering under crime and hobbled by
immigration, sticking to the
gloom-and-doom theme. As he
accepted the Republican nomination, Trump said: The legacy of
Hillary Clinton is death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.
In return, Clinton seized upon
what she called the fear and the
anger and the resentment from
Trump and Republicans, dismissing Trumps declaration that only
he could fix the problems that
afflict the nation.
Donald Trump may think
Americas in decline, but hes
wrong. Americas best days are
still ahead of us, my friends,
Clinton said during a campaign
event Saturday in Miami.
Sanders will address the convention Monday night, and Obama
will speak on Wednesday night.

Wasserman Schultz
goes from favored to
on the outs at DNC
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Five years ago, Debbie


Wasserman Schultz was put in charge of the
Democratic National Committee to usher in
a new era for the party. Now, Wasserman
Schultz is on the outs after an email scandal
is rocking the party on the eve of its convention.
Its a stunning fall for the tough-talking
Florida representative who became the first
woman elected to chair the DNC. Two other
women have served in the role but were
appointed, not elected.
On Sunday, the mother of three announced
she would step down as DNC chairwoman at
the end of the partys convention. Her resignation follows the leak of some 19,000
emails presumably stolen by hackers
and posted to the website Wikileaks that
suggest the DNC favored Hillary Clinton
over Bernie Sanders.
To Sanders supporters, the email scandal
proved what they long suspected: The
Democratic Party had become a clubby
establishment that was resistant to change
and reluctant to embrace a more progressive
agenda.
For years though, it seemed, Wasserman
Schultz was unstoppable.
At 26, she was the youngest woman elected to a seat in the Floridas House. Then
came the Florida Senate, and in 2005, she
was elected to the U.S. House to represent
South Florida. It was there Wasserman

Debbie
Wasserman
Schultz

Schultz earned her reputation as a workhorse


and outspoken liberal
willing to spar with
Republicans on television.
By
her
mid-40s,
Wasserman Schultz had
survived breast cancer
and was raising three
kids all the while
serving in the House and
raising millions for the

Democratic Party.
By 2011, President Barack Obama recommended she take control of the DNC, even
though she had backed Hillary Clinton in
the 2008 primary. Perhaps part of the calculation was that Wasserman Schultz represented South Florida, a Democrat-rich area
of a critical swing state in the upcoming
election. As a Jew and strong advocate for
Israel, she also provided a bulwark for
Obama against Republican efforts at the
time to paint him as anti-Israel.
Wasserman Schultz was born in 1966 on
Long Island, New York. According to her
online biography, she graduated from the
University of Florida. She married Steve
Schultz and resides with her family in
Weston, a Fort Lauderdale suburb.
Worth noting is whom Wasserman
Schultz replaced at the DNC five years ago:
Tim Kaine, who is now Clintons running
mate.

Boy Scouts faring well a year


after easing ban on gay adults
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK There were dire warnings


for the Boy Scouts of America a year ago
when the groups leaders, under intense
pressure, voted to end a long-standing blanket ban on participation by openly gay
adults. Several of the biggest sponsors of
Scout units, including the Roman Catholic,
Mormon and Southern Baptist churches,
were openly dismayed, raising the prospect
of mass defections.
Remarkably, nearly 12 months after the
BSA National Executive Boards decision,
the Boy Scouts seem more robust than they
have in many years. Youth membership is
on the verge of stabilizing after a prolonged
decline, corporations which halted dona-

tions because of the ban have resumed their


support, and the vast majority of units affiliated with conservative religious denominations have remained in the fold still
free to exclude gay adults if thats in accordance with their religious doctrine.
Catholic Bishop Robert Guglielmone of
Charleston, South Carolina, whose duties
include liaising with the National Catholic
Committee on Scouting, says he knows of
no instances where a Catholic unit there
are more than 7,500 has taken on an
openly gay adult leader since the policy
change. Gay sex and same-sex marriage are
considered violations of church teaching.
The Boy Scouts national leadership has

include first lady Michelle Obama,
former President Bill Clinton and

But party disunity is certain to
also be a factor in Philadelphia,
given Wasserman Schultzs departure and the general unhappiness
among many Sanders supporters,
intensified by both the emails and
by Clintons pick of Sen. Tim
Kaine of Virginia to be her running mate.
Norman Solomon, a delegate
who supports Sanders, said there
is talk among Sanders delegates
of walking out during Kaines
acceptance speech or turning their
backs as a show of protest.

Afghan forces on the offensive


After Obamas green light
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan After


two years of heavy casualties, the
Afghan military is trying to retake
the initiative in the war against
militants with a new offensive
against Islamic State group loyalists, an assault that will see
American troops back on the battlefield working more closely
with Afghan soldiers.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani
recently announced a major
assault against fighters loyal to
the Islamic State group, who over
the past year captured positions
along Afghanistans eastern border with Pakistan, mainly in
Nangarhar province. That goal to
uproot IS from Afghanistan has

taken on new urgency in the wake


of a deadly suicide bombing of a
protest march Saturday in Kabul
that killed at least 80 people.
The Islamic State groups Aamaq
online news agency quickly
claimed responsibility for the
attack, the first IS attack in the
Afghan capital and one of the
deadliest ever to hit Kabul. Ghani,
in a live televised address after the
bombing, told the nation, I
promise you I will take revenge
against the culprits.
The inexperienced Afghan
forces have largely stalled in the
fight against Islamic militants
ever since most international
combat troops withdrew in 2014.
American forces that remained

the Islamic State group has been

meant mounting losses among

are not officially released, but
according to figures provided by
military officials, at least 5,000
troops were killed in 2014, rising
to more than 6,000 last year. So
far in 2016, Afghan troop deaths
are 20 percent higher than the

Prosecutor: Venezuela first ladys


nephews confess huge drug deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS, Venezuela Two nephews of


Venezuelas powerful first lady confessed to
trying to smuggle 800 kilograms (1,763
pounds) of cocaine into the U.S., according
to prosecutors in the politically-charged
case.
The court filings Friday by prosecutors
shed new light on the case that has sounded
alarm bells about high-level corruption and
drug trafficking by Venezuelas political
elite at a time of increasing economic and
political turmoil in the South American
nation.
Efrain Campo and Francisco Flores were
arrested last November in Haiti in a sting
operation coordinated by the Drug
Enforcement Administration. They were
then flown to New York, where they are in
jail awaiting trial for conspiring to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. Both have pleaded
not guilty.
The documents filed Friday seek to refute
a motion by the defendants attorneys to

suppress their post-arrest statements to


DEA agents on their way to New York
because they allegedly hadnt been
informed of their rights and were coerced
after being taken into custody by armed
men in ski masks in what they at first
thought was a kidnapping.
Prosecutors allege Campo and Flores
hatched the drug deal in about two months.
They said it was first brought to the attention of the DEA by a wheelchair-bound
cooperating witness nicknamed El
Sentado, who met Campo and Flores in
Honduras and who wound up being killed
three weeks after their arrest.
As part of the DEA investigation, confidential sources were sent to Caracas to meet
with the two young men. The court documents include photographs allegedly taken
from a secret video of those meetings that
prosecutors say show Campo examining a
brick of cocaine with plastic gloves as
Flores looks on. Campo allegedly said the
narcotics came from the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia.

deteriorating security situation,


President Barack Obama last
month gave a green light to a
more assertive role for U. S.
troops, though still short of direct
combat. With that boost, Afghans
are shifting back on the offensive.
The upcoming anti-IS operation
announced by Ghani, dubbed
Shafaq or Dawn in Pashto
will see the head of U.S. and NATO
forces in Afghanistan, Gen. John
Nicholson, implementing an
aggressive new strategy. U. S.
airstrikes on Afghanistan are likely to become more frequent, as the
strategy shifts from using airpower only to defend U.S. and NATO
positions to striking in support of
Afghan offensives.

Jalalabad, 125 kilometers (76
miles) east of Kabul.
It is a gateway to Kabul, he
said. If Nangarhar falls, Kabul
will become a battleground every
day.
Ghani has said the operation,
expected to start before the end of
this month, aims to eliminate IS
fighters in Nangarhar, where they
have been active mainly in the
Shinwar, Kot and Achin districts.
The IS loyalists are believed to be
mostly disaffected Taliban fighters, as well as members of
Pakistani insurgent groups.

Munich shooter was bullied


loner, planned attack for year
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MUNICH The teenager behind the


deadly shooting rampage in Munich was a
withdrawn loner obsessed with playing
killer video games in his bedroom, a victim of bullying who suffered from panic
attacks set off by contacts with other people, investigators said Sunday, adding that
he had planned the attack for a year.
Law enforcement officials piecing
together a portrait of the 18-year-old shooter said he was seeing a doctor up to last
month for treatment of depression and psychiatric problems that began in 2015 with
inpatient hospital care followed by outpatient visits.
They said medication for his problems
had been found his room. But toxicological
and autopsy results were still not available,
so its not yet clear whether he was taking
the medicine when he went on his shooting
spree Friday, killing nine people and leaving dozens wounded.
The 18-year-old German-Iranian, identified only as David S. due to Germany privacy laws, had earlier been described by
investigators as being bullied by schoolmates at least once four years ago and being
fascinated by previous mass shootings. But
none of those killed were known to him,
investigators said.
Late Sunday police said they had taken in

for questioning a friend of the shooter who


might have known of the attack plan.
Further details were not immediately available, but Germanys dpa news agency
reported the 16-year-old boy had gone to
police himself after the act.
Some 1,500 people gathered at the scene
of the shooting Sunday evening, lighting
candles and placing flowers in tribute to the
victims.
The attack Friday took place on the fifth
anniversary of the killing of 77 people by
Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders
Behring Breivik, whose victims included
dozens of young people.
Investigators said the Munich shooter
had researched that slaughter online and had
visited the site of a previous school shooting in the German town of Winnenden last
year.
He had been planning this crime since
last summer, said Robert Heimberger,
Bavarias top official, citing a manifesto
linked to the shooting found in the gunmans locked room in the apartment he
shared with his parents and brother.
Heimberger said he could not reveal
details of the document yet because there
were many more terabytes of information
to evaluate, but described the gunman as a
devoted player of group internet killer
games pitting virtual shooters against
each other.

The aftermath in Turkey


Other voices

The Boston Herald

his is the way democracy dies


not in the streets of Turkey,
not because of a coup but in
its aftermath and in the halls of
power.
And our own nation is standing by,
watching it happen. Watching while
Turkeys president, who purports to
be a democrat, wipes out his nations
once free and independent judiciary,
just as he cowed much of its free and
independent media.
The attempted coup last week has
given the autocratic Recep Tayyip
Erdogan a pretext to decimate his
nations justice system a process
that had begun long before the events
of July 15. The president almost
immediately announced his intention
to purge 2,745 judges and prosecutors. By Sunday homes were being

searched, the arrests had begun.


In recent years, Turkeys
Constitutional Court has been the
only thing that has stood between
Erdogan and his continuing assault on
the news media those not already
jailed or terried into submission.
And what has been the U.S.
response thus far?
Try these words from Secretary of
State John Kerry on Sunday: I think
the Turkish government itself is trying to gure out who is involved and
how.
If only. Erdogan immediately came
up with the names of 2,745 judges
who needed to go. By Monday some
8,777 civil servants police, military police, 30 governors, 16 legal
advisers were added to the purge
list. That must have be one speedy

investigation.
On Monday Kerry added,
Obviously, a lot of people have been
arrested and arrested very quickly. The
level of (international) vigilance and
scrutiny is obviously going to be signicant in the days ahead.
Kerry is no naf. He knows the
game that is afoot here. Just as surely
as he knows that Turkey is a NATO
member and an important ally in the
ght against the Islamic State.
It wouldnt be the rst time the
United States has looked the other
way while a despot tightens his grip
on power because that despot remains
strategically important. But let there
be no mistake, this time it is happening on the Obama administrations
watch and watching democracy slip
away in Turkey is nothing short of
tragic.

Letters to the editor


Say thanks to a cop

San Mateo police

Editor,
Despite all of the chaos, confusion
and causalities, now is the time to
remember we need to have compassion for all. There are victims, murders, and now, what seems most
senseless, and can only cause more
loss and suffering, is assassinating
police ofcers who have nothing to
do with the murders of AfricanAmerican men. Our police ofcers put
on their blue uniforms daily; this
makes them sitting ducks, yet they
hit he streets and do their jobs. I fear
for them being walking targets for
some of the people they serve and
protect. These ofcers must have
their own questions about things, but
its their job to selessly serve us. I
believe they do their best. Please
make time to thank a cop, or a smile
and wave.
I may seem like the last person to
write this letter, as I believe young
men have been shot down needlessly
because they, too, are walking targets
with African-American skin. They
cannot be thanked, but remembered as
victims of others fears. I also agree
with the mayor of Oakland and her
views on a macho system. Ive had
my genuine police issues and we
make efforts to understand each other.
Im not the typical woman to write a
letter appealing to acknowledge a
police ofcer, but a smile and thanks
goes a long way to helping heal this
divide opening in our society.
Remember:
We are people who stick together in
hard times.

Editor,
The national news and local news
concerning law enforcement ofcers
is horrible for all and I must write this
in support of our San Mateo Police
Department.
Our police chief and her staff is one
of the best in the Bay Area. I personally either have worked with or know
many of the ofcers and the chief in
many capacities/venues. To a person,
they all are professional and caring in
their work. Both on duty and off duty,
Taught the neighborhood kids to
wave Hi! to patrol men/women and
hope others in the city will likewise
acknowledge the ne work they provide our city and citizens with a wave
of appreciation.

Terrorists and trucks


Editor,
The truck-based massacre in France
on July 14 has generated some predictable responses from the progun/anti-Obama gang. Case in point
is Scott Abramsons letter, No trucks
allowed, in the July 19 Daily
Journal.
That got me to thinking about the
differences between how we currently
regulate trucks and guns. Ironically,
Scott and his pro-gun cohorts accidentally have a point in support of
gun control.
While its true that anybody can
ignore a law, its equally true that
anybody can kill anybody else with
common objects (knives, bricks,

Lets look at regulations around
trucks and their drivers.
The truck:
Must be registered, with registration renewed annually;
Must have registration updated
after every sale, even between private
individuals and family members;
Must meet guidelines regarding
safety, emissions, etc.; and
May have registration revoked
(and therefore be grounded) for violation of the above.
The driver:
Must pass a written test, road test,
and competency tests (visual, etc.)
prior to obtaining license;
License must be renewed every few
years (4-5 in most states I am aware
of);
License may be revoked for violation of certain laws; and
License may be revoked for
incompetency (illness or other condition which renders the driver dangerous).
And then theres the general arguments that A). A trucks primary purpose is the hauling of people or
goods, not harming them, and B).
Nobody is trying to take guns (or
trucks) away from law-abiding citizens.
But in both cases, lets get the dangerous ones out of circulation.
So, Scott, thanks for agreeing that
we need to increase gun controls to at
least the same level as those in place

The changing
downtown scene

o many landmark downtown San Mateo restaurants


have shut their doors in the last few months
Osteria Coppa, Speido, Roti, Cappellini, Bella
Mangiata. Whats happening? To nd out I met with Ann
Fienman, executive director of the Downtown San Mateo
Association, recently.
The good news is that
these sites will not be
empty for long. In fact, the
good news for downtown
San Mateo is that there are
very few vacancies. A
restaurant closes, a new
one moves in, or reinvents
itself to serve a new clientele. So Osteria Coppa, one
of my favorites, familyowned by the same people
who own Sams Chowder
House in Half Moon Bay,
has sold its lease to Inchin
Bamboo Garden which has
a dozen locations across
the United States. 231
Ellsworth, a gourmet French restaurant, has been closed
for some time but will open as another Asian restaurant.
Cappellini, which shut then opened under new ownership,
then shut again, will now reinvent itself as the Golden
Gate Grill and Tap Room, a sports pub. Speido is renovating and is expected to open in the near future but in a different guise as Pausa.
***
According to Fienman, the economic challenges include
running a labor intensive business. Not only food, but
rent, and salaries take a big chunk out of prots. If food
prices go up too much, the restaurant will lose it clientele.
The competition is intense with more than 140 restaurants downtown vying for customers. Its hard to keep
employees because they cant afford to live here. Raising
the minimum wage, say to the currently proposed $15 an
hour, will not keep up with escalating rents. So some
restaurants are moving from full service to closing at
lunch to reducing hours and offering take-out or casual
dining where you order at a counter and pick up your food.
That cuts down on service staff but keeps the necessary
kitchen help.
***
The dining scene is certainly diverse. You cant really
say Asian food because it could be Japanese, Korean,
Malaysian, Indian or Chinese. And there is no shortage of
Mexican food or exotic Peruvian and Salvadoran restaurants in which to dine. These new trends reect the population of San Mateo itself, now approximately one third
white, one third Latino and one third Asian or the diverse
workforce employed by the may new tech startups.
***
Aside from changes in the dining scene, downtown is
also exploding with a number of tness studios including
yoga, Pilates, taekwondo and cycling. SoulCycle is moving into the new ofce building under construction at
Third Avenue and El Camino Real. Motif Investing is the
ofce tenant. A yoga studio is coming to the long-vacant
Rite Aid building on B Street.
Downtown San Mateo is on a roll, In a Rand McNally
national poll in 2013, it was ranked the best small town
for food because of the variety and ethnic diversity of its
restaurants and with a nod to the specialty market with a
must-visit bakery (Draegers). In another national poll, it
was ranked number two for best mid-sized cities for restaurants just behind Cambridge, Massachusetts. The lack of
fast food restaurants showed people would rather eat something unique rather than go to a franchise. San Mateo
ranked 12 in another national poll for most livable places
to live. Reasons: historic buildings, parks, restaurants,
sustainability and use of commuter rail (Caltrain). Strange
that no one mentioned the weather.
Downtown San Mateo has also become a magnet for
startups for all of the above reasons. And there is not
enough ofce space to keep them here when they are successful and expand. As for some residents who dont like
to see change in their beloved and historic downtown,
change is inevitable if the city is to remain viable. But
lets hope not too much change.
***
According to Fienman, I think the biggest change happening downtown is its emergence as a regional business
center. Companies choose downtown not only for San
Mateos central location, but also for the districts transit
access, walkability, food scene and amenities like Central
Park.
This change also creates a big challenge: increasing
demand for larger ofce space among startups that want to
stay and grow here.

Verizon to pay $5B for Yahoo


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Verizon has


agreed to buy online portal Yahoo
Inc. for roughly $5 billion,
according to multiple media
reports, each citing a single
unnamed source.
The deal is expected to be
announced formally on Monday
before markets open.

Verizon had emerged in recent


days as the front-runner for the
beleaguered internet company.
Yahoo is expected to sell its email
service and news, finance and
sports websites in addition to its
advertising tools under pressure
from shareholders fed up with a
downturn in the companys revenue during the past eight years.
The deal is likely to end the four-

year reign of Yahoo CEO Marissa


Mayer, a former Google executive
who flopped in her attempts to
turn around the Sunnyvale,
California, company.
Yahoo has been in a long, deep
slump even as advertisers have
been pouring more money into
what is now a $160 billion market
for digital advertising, according
to research firm eMarketer.

Most of that money has been


flowing to internet search leader
Google and social networking
giant Facebook. They are two of
several companies that have
eclipsed Yahoo, who slid from an
online sensation once valued at
$130 billion to a dysfunctional
also-ran. Yahoo attempted to buy
both companies while in their
infancy.

After the sale is completed,


Yahoo will become a holding company for its two stakes in Chinas
e-commerce leader,
Alibaba
Group, and Yahoo Japan, which is
where the majority of Yahoos
market value comes from.
Yahoo declined to comment on
the reports. A spokesman for
Verizon did not return requests for
comment.

Airbnb sues hometown over rental regulation


By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO San


Francisco wants people who rent
out their homes through Airbnb
and other online platforms to follow some rules, and it wants the
platforms to advertise only those
rule-abiding listings or face
steep fines.
That means Airbnb and others
must stick to advertising San
Francisco hosts who have registered with the city and havent
exceeded the number of nights
theyre allowed to rent. The penalty? Platforms can be fined up to
$1,000 a day per violation.
Now, Airbnb is suing its hometown, arguing that its not responsible for making sure hosts follow
city rules and that San Francisco,
the place that birthed some of the
worlds most innovative startups,
is undermining a bedrock principle that allowed those companies
to flourish in the first place.
In its federal lawsuit filed in

June,
Airbnb
states
San
Franciscos ordinance violates a
federal law that has long shielded
websites such as Facebook and
YouTube from responsibility for
information posted by users. In
this case, its the legality of vacation listings.
Legal experts say Airbnb has a
good shot at prevailing in court,
but that government also has a
legitimate interest in regulating
health and safety, which includes
housing in a city thats among the
most expensive in the country.
This is going to be the first of
many kinds of legal battles around
the platform economy. Im sure
that other companies are going to
mount similar kinds of defenses
when theyre in regulatory
crosshairs,
said
Vivek
Krishnamurthy, assistant director
of the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard
Law Schools Berkman Klein
Center for Internet & Society.
At some point, he said, governments are going to have to be
able to regulate these things.

Airbnb faces challenges elsewhere, including New York where


legislators last month approved a
bill making it illegal to advertise
online entire homes for less than
30 days. Last month, the Anaheim
City Council voted to phase out
and ban short-term rentals in the
home of Disneyland. This month,
the city council in Berkeley voted
to penalize landlords who list multiple units for less than two
weeks.
Eric Goldman, co-director of the
High Tech Law Institute and law
professor
at
Santa
Clara
University, said hes not surprised
the issue is playing out in San
Francisco, a city with a massive
housing shortage and little room
to expand.
Its easy to see how the combination of scarce housing units and
the health and safety issues associated with short-term rentals, or
short-term tenants, leads to San
Francisco potentially being at the
vanguard of regulatory efforts, he
said.

LARGEST SELECTION
Every day discount prices
Outstanding quality

Airbnb, the worlds largest


short-stay online rental company,
makes money by taking a cut of
peer-to-peer rentals. It says its an
intermediary connecting hosts
and travelers.
Advocates of San Franciscos
ordinance, however, say the new
regulation is no different than
requiring car rental agencies to
verify that a driver has a valid
license.
Critics of Airbnb have long
complained that the business
model encourages landlords to
take rentals off the market for
short-term use. Airbnb supporters
say they couldnt continue to live
in San Francisco without the extra
money they make renting out
space.
San Francisco started requiring
hosts in 2015 to register, but
more than a year later, only 1,500
people have done so out of thousands of listings. The Board of
Supervisors approved its latest
regulation in June.
The company filed a lawsuit

with the U.S. District Court of


Northern California, claiming the
ordinance not only violates its
First Amendment rights but is preempted
by
the
federal
Communications Decency Act of
1996.
The section of law cited by
Airbnb states that no provider or
user of an interactive computer
service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
Legal experts say the provision
is why Amazon can offer user
reviews, blogs can post comments and Facebook can repeat
defamatory remarks without fear
of being sued.
Supervisor David Campos, a
longtime Airbnb critic, said its
ridiculous to paint Airbnb as a
passive intermediary, when the
company actively recruits hosts
to populate its service.
Still, he introduced amendments
this month to make sure the city
prevails.

Maturing oyster recovery


projects bring calls money
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. Oysters


were once so abundant in New Jersey that
vacationers would clamber off trains, wade
into the water and pluck handfuls to roast
for dinner. Their colonies piled so high that
boats would sometimes run aground on
them, and they were incorporated into navigation maps. Even earlier, Native
American tribes would have oyster feasts
on the banks of coastal inlets.
But over the centuries, rampant development, pollution, overharvesting and disease drastically reduced the number of oysters, here and around the country; many
researchers and volunteer groups estimate
oyster populations are down 85 percent
from their levels in the 1800s.
That has sparked efforts throughout the
coastal United States to establish new oyster colonies, or fortify struggling ones.
Though small in scale, the efforts are
numerous and growing, and they have a unified goal: showing that oysters can be successfully restored in the wild, paving the
way for larger-scale efforts and the larger
funding they will require.
While a main goal is increasing the numbers of succulent, salty shellfish bound for
dinner plates, oysters also serve other useful purposes. They improve water quality; a
single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of
water a day. They also can protect coastlines; the hard, irregular oyster beds serve
as speed bumps that obstruct waves during
storms.
Its many years and millions of dollars
away, but it is attainable, said Steve Evert,
assistant director of the Marine Science and
Environmental Field Station at New
Jerseys Stockton University, one of hundreds of organizations working to start or
expand oyster colonies.

Most of the projects are small-scale,


funded by government grants and volunteer
donations. Helen Henderson, of New
Jerseys American Littoral Society, which
is growing an oyster reef in Barnegat Bay,
hopes successful demonstration projects
can lead to an exponential increase in funding for bigger projects.
Nature has shown us this can be done;
were just giving it a kick-start, she said.
Hopefully funding will flow from that
once we can show successful outcomes, and
we can really make a difference on a much
larger scale.
The Barnegat Bay Partnership put up
$52,000 for the oyster project Stockton is
undertaking in New Jersey; matching funds
came from the university, the Littoral
Society, and a shellfish business that has
invested many times that amount on equipment and oyster seedlings.
Fledgling oysters need to attach themselves to a hard surface in order to grow,
preferably a three-dimensional one with
plenty of nooks and crannies.
The projects usually involve dumping
shells onto the sea bed, where free-floating
oyster seed attaches to them, though some
projects pre-load the shells with tiny oyster
seedlings before dumping them at a reef site.
Some involve transporting more mature oysters from established colonies to new sites.
Oyster restoration projects are underway
or have recently been completed in San
Francisco Bay; Puget Sound near Seattle;
New York Harbor and the Hudson River; in
coastal salt ponds in Rhode Island and the
states Narragansett Bay; in the Carolinas,
as well as Florida and the other Gulf Coast
states; New Hampshire; and particularly in
Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Virginia,
where some of the nations biggest oyster
restoration programs have been underway
for years.

Froome wins third Tour de France title


By Andrew Dampf

JEAN-PAUL PELISSIER/REUTERS

Yellow jersey leader Chris Froome celebrates his third Tour de


France win at the finish line Sunday in Paris.

PARIS After the beer and champagne celebrations, Chris Froome delivered a sobering and emotional message
from the Tour de France winners podium
on the Champs-Elysees.
Ten days after the Bastille Day truck
attack in Nice that killed 84 people,
Froome a Kenyan-born British rider
who often trains on the French Riviera
reminded everyone what the Tour
stands for.

These events put sport into perspective but they also show why the values
of sport are so important to free society, Froome said on Sunday in a prepared
speech. We all love the Tour de France
because its unpredictable but we love
the Tour more for what stays the same
the passion of the fans for every nation,
the beauty of the French countryside and
the bonds of friendship created through
sport. These things will never change.
Thanks for your kindness in these
difficult times, Froome added, switching to French as he addressed the local

fans. You have the most beautiful race


in the world. Vive le Tour, Vive la
France.
Cheered on by thousands of fans
undeterred by the recent spate of violence across Europe, Froome celebrated his third Tour title in four years. He
finished safely at the back of the main
pack in the final stage, arm-in-arm
with his teammates during the mostly
ceremonial leg ending on the cobblestones below the Arc de Triomphe.

LARKSPUR With the Pacifica American 910 All-Stars having yet to face a losers bracket
through three tiers of the postseason, it was
going to take a serious effort to put them there.
Tri-City produced that effort, though it
took everything the Rocklin-based squad
could muster to do so in the Northern
California State Championship Tournament.
In the wildest, edge-of-your-seat ballgame
Pacifica has played this summer, the boys of PTown fell 16-15 in extra innings Sunday at Joe
Wagner Field as Tri-City scored a thrilling
walk-off victory in the bottom of the seventh.
With the loss, Pacifica drops to the losers
bracket to face Petaluma Monday at 2:30 p.m.
That was a crazy game, Pacifica American
manager Nate Uter said. That was a fun one.
Thats why you play.
One day after downing Cambrian Park 9-1
in the tourney opener, the back-and-forth
battle with Tri-City saw Pacifica lead most of
the way, only to surrender the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Tri-Valley got a perfect day out of the top
two hitters in its order. Leadoff hitter Troy
Ueltzen was 6 for 6 with a double, while No.
2 hitter Nathan Erickson went 4 for 4 with
two home runs and a pair of walks. And both
were in the middle of each the game-tying
rally in the sixth and the game-winning
rally in the seventh.
When you get on the bases with your 1 and
2 hitters, youre going to have the opportunity
to score a lot of runs, Tri-City manager Dave
Ueltzen said. And thats what we try to emphasize.
With Pacifica leading 15-13 going into the
bottom of the sixth the final regulation
inning in 9-10-year-old games Troy Ueltzen
led off the frame with a single and Erickson followed with a walk. Tri-City took the lead two
batters later on a two-run single by cleanup hitter Aiden Weisenberg.
Then in the seventh, with one on and one
out, Troy Ueltzen produced a key single
his sixth hit of the day to put runners at the
corners. And Erickson followed with the

STANFORD As Johanna Konta pounded


the ball from every spot on the court Sunday
and rarely missed, there were moments
Venus Williams could do little more than
applaud her opponents stellar day as winners whipped down the line and drop shots
fell perfectly.
With a crowd of 2,268 largely rooting for
the
American
icon
Williams, Konta regularly reminded herself to
breathe to keep her mind
on the match and not her
daunting task.
The hard-hitting Konta
outslugged top-seeded
Williams to capture her
Johanna Konta first career singles title at
last while playing for her
first championship, winning the Bank of
the West Classic 7-5, 5-7, 6-2.
Its actually quite an incredibly humbling
experience. Its a great validation of the hard
work youve been putting in and its a great
motivator on the things you want to keep
getting better at, she said. I played her
twice previously. I knew going into it I was
going to be playing against a magnitude of
experience. Venus Williams doesnt need an
introduction.
Her serve and return games equally solid
on another unseasonably hot day at
Stanford, Konta held on in the third set after
squandering a 4-1 lead in the second to open
the door for Williams to come back.
When Williams netted her forehand return
on the third match point, Konta dropped her
racket to the ground and covered her face in
triumph before heading to the net for a handshake. After receiving her trophy and
addressing Williams directly with a thoughtful compliment of the 36-year-old stars
grace and game, Konta posed for a round of
photos that this time will be all the more
special.
She played at such a high level today,
Williams said. She saved her best tennis for

Giants cap 1-7 road trip with loss in Bronx


By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Giants headed into the


All-Star break a major league-best 57-33.
They started the second half by skidding on
a 1-7 trip to San Diego, Boston and New York
that culminated in a 5-2 loss Sunday to the
Yankees.
Im very excited about to get home, Jeff
Samardzija said after dropping to 1-2 with a
7.29 ERA and nine home runs allowed in his

Yankees 5, Giants 2
last
six
starts.
Obviously, this road trip
didnt go the way we wanted it to, but you learn from
this. We got some guys
who got some playing
time. And you use this for
the future. The season
isnt always going to go
Jeff Samardzija the way you want it to

from start to finish. So, were going to go


home and regroup and put this behind us.
Right fielder Hunter Pence (hamstring),
second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) and
third baseman Matt Duffy (strained Achilles
tendon) are sidelined, first baseman Brandon
Belt was 2 for 33 (.061) on the trip and shortstop Brandon Crawford 6 for 33 (.182) with
no RBIs.
We had some guys cold with the bat, man-

ager Bruce Bochy said. Well go as they go.


San Francisco was 1 for 8 with runners in
scoring position Sunday, leaving the NL
West leader at 9 for 72 (.125) following the
break.
Ive got to find the approach to get back
on track, Belt said. I feel like a lot of these
losses that weve had are on me. Ive had
plenty of chances to drive in runs, didnt get
the job done.

Griffey, Piazza enshrined in Cooperstown


By John Kekis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. Staring out at


their families and tens of thousands of fans
who hung on every word, Ken Griffey Jr. and
Mike Piazza were inducted Sunday into the
Baseball Hall of Fame in a ceremony tinged
with tears all around.
I stand up here humbled and overwhelmed, Griffey said. I cant describe
how it feels.
The two became a piece of history on
their special day. Griffey, the first pick of
the 1987 amateur draft, became the highest
pick ever inducted. Piazza, a 62nd-round
pick the next year No. 1,390 is the
lowest pick to enter the Hall of Fame.
Griffey played 22 big-league seasons with
the Mariners, Reds and White Sox and was
selected on a record 99.32 percent of ballots
cast, an affirmation of sorts for his clean
performance during baseballs so-called
Steroids Era.
A 13-time All-Star and 10-time Gold
Glove Award winner in center field, Griffey
hit 630 home runs, sixth all-time, and drove
in 1,836 runs. He also was the American
League MVP in 1997, drove in at least 100
runs in eight seasons, and won seven Silver
Slugger Awards.
Griffey, who fell just three votes shy of
being the first unanimous selection, hit 417
of his 630 homers and won all 10 of his
Gold Gloves with the Seattle Mariners. He
played the first 11 seasons of his career with
the Mariners and led them to the playoffs
for the first two times in franchise history.
Thirteen years with the Seattle Mariners,
from the day I got drafted, Seattle,
Washington, has been a big part of my
life, Griffey said, punctuating the end of
his speech by putting a baseball cap on
backward as he did throughout his career.
Im going to leave you with one thing.
In 22 years I learned that one team will treat
you the best, and thats your first team. Im
damn proud to be a Seattle Mariner.
Dubbed The Natural for his effortless
excellence at the plate and in center field,
Griffey avoided the Hall of Fame until his
special weekend because he wanted his first
walk through the front doors of the stately
building on Main Street to be with his kids,
whom he singled out one by one in his 20minute speech.

others.
Selected in the draft by the Dodgers after
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, a
close friend of Piazzaa father, Vince, put in
a good word, Piazza struggled. He briefly
quit the game while in the minor leagues,
returned and persevered despite a heavy
workload as he switched from first base to
catcher and teammates criticized his erratic
play.
Mom and dad were foremost on his mind,
too.
Dad always dreamed of playing in the
major leagues, said Piazza, just the second
Hall of Famer depicted on his plaque wearing a Mets cap, after Tom Seaver in 1992.
He could not follow that dream because
of the realities of life. My fathers faith in
me, often greater than my own, is the single
most important factor of me being inducted
into this Hall of Fame. Thank you dad. We
made it, dad. The race is over. Now its time
to smell the roses.

Piazza played 16 years with the Dodgers,


Marlins, Mets, Padres and Athletics and hit
427 home runs, including a major league
record 396 as a catcher. A 12-time All-Star,
Piazza won 10 Silver Slugger Awards and
finished in the top five of his leagues MVP
voting four times.
Perhaps even more impressive, Piazza, a
.308 career hitter, posted six seasons with
at least 30 home runs, 100 RBIs and a .300
batting average (all other catchers in baseball history combined have posted nine
such seasons).
Though the Dodgers gave him his start,
Piazza found a home in New York when he
was traded to the Mets in May 1998.
Three years later, Piazza became a hero to
the hometown fans with perhaps the most
notable home run of his career. His two-run
shot in the eighth inning at Shea Stadium
lifted the Mets to a 3-2 victory over the
Atlanta Braves in the first sporting event
played in New York after the 9/11 terror
attacks.
Piazza paid tribute to that moment.
To witness the darkest evil of the human
heart ... will be forever burned in my soul,
Piazza said. But from tragedy and sorrow
came bravery, love, compassion, character
and eventual healing.
Many of you give me praise for the tworun home run in the first game back on Sept.
21st, but the true praise belongs to police,
firefighters, first responders that knew that
they were going to die, but went forward
anyway.
Attendance was estimated at around
50,000 by the Hall of Fame, tying 1999 for
second-most all time.

Sox suspend Sale for five days


By Andrew Seligman

CHICAGO The Chicago White


Sox suspended ace Chris Sale five
days without pay for destroying
collared throwback uniforms the
team was scheduled to wear.
The White Sox announced the
punishment on Sunday after Sale
was scratched from his scheduled
start and sent home the previous
night.
The suspension comes to
$250,000 of his $9.15 million
salary. He was also fined about
$12,700 the cost of the
destroyed jerseys according to a
person familiar with the penalty.
The person spoke on the condition
of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Obviously were all extremely
disappointed that we have to deal
with this issue at this time both
from the standpoint of the club as
well as Chris perspective, general manager Rick Hahn said. Its
unfortunate that it has become this
level of an issue and potential distraction taking away from what
were trying to accomplish on the
field.
Sale was not expected at the ballpark on Sunday. He is eligible to
return Thursday against the
crosstown Cubs at Wrigley Field,
though Hahn would not say if the
left-hander would start that game.
The Major League Baseball
Players Association declined comment, spokesman Greg Bouris
said. Sale could ask the union to
file a grievance.

2016 American League All-Star starting pitcher Chris Sale was suspended
by the Chicago White Sox for destroying the teams throwback uniforms.
was protesting the 1976-style jerseys, which were navy and sported
unusual collars on a hot and humid
night.
Sale then cut up an unknown
number of jerseys before the game
and was told to leave the stadium.
With not enough usable 1976 jerseys available, the White Sox wore
white throwback uniforms from the
1983 season.
The incident comes with the
White Sox in a tailspin after a 2310 start and Sales name circulating
in trade rumors.
The actions or behaviors of the
last 24 hours does not change in
any aspect, any respect, our belief
that Chris Sale can help this club
win a championship and win multiple championships, Hahn said. It
does not move the needle one iota
in terms of his value to this club,
his value to any other club that may
be interested in his services or the

likelihood of him being moved or


kept whatsoever. None of that stuff
is impacted at all by these events.
This wasnt the first flare-up
involving 27-year-old Sale, who is
known for his competitive streak
and strict training regimen.
He was openly critical of team
executive Ken Williams during
spring training when he said Drake
LaRoche, the son of teammate
Adam LaRoche, would no longer be
allowed in the clubhouse. Adam
LaRoche retired as a result, and Sale
hung the LaRoches jerseys in his
locker.
He was also suspended five
games by Major League Baseball
last season for his role in a brawl at
Kansas City that started with a
flare-up between teammate Adam
Eaton and the Royals Yordano
Ventura. Sale went to the Royals
clubhouse after he got tossed and
was seen pounding on the door.

Samardzija (9-6) gave up five


runs and eight hits in 5 2/3
innings. He allowed home runs to
Carlos Beltran in the first and
Mark Teixeira in the second, raising his season total to 19, as New
York built a 2-0 lead.
New York chased Samardzija in
the sixth, when Jacoby Ellsbury
grounded into a run-scoring double
play, Starlin Castro singled in a
run and Didi Gregorius hit an RBI
double.
Nathan Eovaldi (9-6) pitched
shutout ball into the seventh. With
the Yankees No Runs DMC trio
unavailable after two days of heavy

use, Chasen Shreve came in and


loaded the bases with a walk to
Belt, and Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right
against Chad Green, who retired
Brandon Crawford on a groundout.
New York turned a spectacular 41-5 inning-ending double play in
the eighth. Pena grounded past a
diving Teixeira at first but Castro
slid on his stomach to come up
with the ball on the outfield grass
between first and second, sat up
and threw to Green covering first.
The pitcher then threw to third,
where Chase Headley tagged a sliding Williamson.

Hahn handcuffs Rays

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND With a little more


playing time these past few days,
Athletics slugger Billy Butler is
finally getting comfortable at the
plate even in a rare appearance
against a right-hander.
It might not be enough to get him
out of a part-time role in Oakland.
Still, its a step in the right direction for the former All-Star first
baseman.
Butler hit a tiebreaking home run
off Erasmo Ramirez with one out in
the eighth inning and the As held
on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2
on Sunday.
Ive shown it my career, I can
come through in those situations
day in and day out, Butler said after
helping the As complete a 7-3
homestand. Its one of those
things where I really havent had
any opportunities to be frustrated. I
just havent had my number called a
lot. Coming through in those situations, maybe Ill get my number
called more.
Oakland lost the first game of this
series then won the next two on
walkoff hits. The As led 2-0 in the
finale until Logan Forsythes tying
two-run homer in the top of the
eighth.
Ramirez (7-8) retired Khris Davis
on a fly ball before Butler hammered an 0-1 pitch over the wall in
center. Its Butlers third home run
of the season and first since June 7.
Butler also had an RBI single in
the first, giving him 18 RBIs over

his last 35 games.


Its tough for a guy that plays
every day to try to get himself into
a rhythm if hes not, but thats a big
hit today, As manager Bob Melvin
said. Hes staying positive . but
this has been a tough year for him,
based on the fact hes asked to do
something hes not used to doing.
Davis added two hits while Jake
Smolinski doubled twice and scored
for the As.
Ryan Dull (4-2) retired two batters
for the win despite giving up
Forsythes home run. Ryan Madson
pitched the ninth for his 21st save.
Home runs have beat us up a lot
this year, Rays manager Kevin
Cash said. Obviously when you
give up that many, theyre coming
at the wrong time.
Forsythes home run in the eighth
ruined an otherwise stellar day for
As starter Jesse Hahn.
Called up from the minors before
the game, Hahn faced just two over
the minimum through six innings
and allowed only one runner to
reach second base before leaving
with a 2-0 lead with two outs in the
eighth. The right-hander walked
one and matched his season-high of
five strikeouts.
Oakland jumped on Tampa Bay
rookie left-hander Blake Snell early
and strung together four consecutive one-out hits in the first. Davis
had an RBI double and Butler added a
run-scoring single to put the As up
2-0.
Snell allowed two runs over 6 2-3
innings. He struck out four and
walked two.

Serena drops out


of Rogers Cup due
to shoulder injury
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTREAL Serena Williams has


pulled out of the Rogers Cup because of
shoulder inflammation.
The three-time Rogers Cup champion was
seeded first in the hard-court tournament and
was set to have a bye in the first round.
Due to inflammation in my shoulder, I
unfortunately must withdraw from the
Rogers Cup, Williams said in a statement.
I was looking forward to competing in
Montreal and I look forward to returning
soon.
Williams is coming off her seventh
Wimbledon title earlier this month. The win
tied Steffi Grafs record of 22 Grand Slam
titles.
Because this is an Olympic year, the
players have very full schedules, tournament director Eugene Lapierre said.
Sometimes your body needs rest. We hope
that Serena will recover quickly and wish her
much success for the rest of the season.

Konta is having a blast being part of
British tennis right now, everyone riding

Yeah, long live the Queen, guys, she

Over the 2-hour, 18-minute match, the
third-seeded Konta figured out Williams big
serve for the second time this year, standing some 10 feet behind the baseline to
return it and generating pace from
Williams regular serves of well higher than

Froome rode a yellow
bike to go with his yellow
jersey, helmet, gloves and
shoes. His teammates had
yellow stripes on their
jerseys and yellow handlebars on their bikes.
Froome also still had
Chris Froome bandages on his right
knee and elbow, the result
of a downhill crash two days ago.
Froome finished with an advantage of 4
minutes, 5 seconds ahead of Romain Bardet of
France, while Nairo Quintana of Colombia
placed third overall, 4:21 back.
Only four men five-time winners Jacques
Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and
Miguel Indurain now have more Tour victories than Froome.
Ive definitely grown to appreciate this
history of the sport a lot more, Froome said.
Being in the position that Im in now, Im
understanding how tough it is to win a race
like the Tour de France. To win back-to-back
editions and now to be a three-time winner is
incredible. Its beyond what Ive ever
dreamed.
While other big riders of his generation
like Alberto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali
have all three Grand Tours the Giro dItalia,
the Tour de France and the Spanish Vuelta
Froome plans to keep his focus on the Tour.
It would be my dream to keep coming back
to the Tour de France for the next five, six
years, he said. Ive already won it three
times and I wouldnt say the novelty is wear-

ing off. ... Its the biggest event we have on


our calendar and to be here in the yellow jersey, its every cyclists dream.
Compared to his wins in 2013 and 2015,
Froome has become more adept at handling
speculation that he is doping. After facing
constant accusations during last years race
including a spectator yelling doper! and
hurling a cup of urine at him Froome
released some of his training data at the end of
last year.
I think Ive put that to rest now, he said.
Ive really done a lot in terms of offering up
my physiological data and trying to be open
to people as much as I can while protecting a
competitive advantage at the same time.
Froome took the yellow jersey with a daring downhill attack in Stage 8, padded his lead
with a late breakaway in Stage 11, and overcame a motor bike crash on the legendary
Mont Ventoux and a fall on a slippery descent
in the Alps with two stages to go.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme complimented Froome for showing panache after
his downhill attack in the Pyrenees, and the
fans have treated him better, too.
The atmosphere on the roads has been fantastic, Froome said. The French public,
they make this race what it is.
Out of respect for the Nice victims, Froome
refused to discuss race details the day after the
attack. But he lauded Tour organizers for deciding to keep the race going.
Its been a really strong sign, he said,
that life goes on and its not going to be
stopped by these terrorist activities.

Williams was seeking her third tournament win at Stanford and denied career singles championship No. 50 while playing
for her 80th title. At 49 singles tournament
wins, she remains second among active
players only behind younger sister Serenas
71.
Of course I wanted to win, but I imagine
with any luck Ill have more chances to get
another title, she said.
Williams is projected to move up to No. 6
in the next rankings. She will play in
Montreal this coming week before the Rio
Olympics next month.
See you all in Rio, she told the crowd
before exiting the stadium.

Some Russians can Busch earns sweep with Brickyard win


compete at Games
By Michael Marot

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Graham Dunbar and Stephen Wilson


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland Olympic leaders stopped short Sunday of imposing a complete ban on Russia from the Rio de Janeiro
Games, leaving individual global sports federations to decide which athletes should be
cleared to compete.
The decision, announced after a three-hour
meeting of the International Olympic
Committees executive board, came just 12
days before the Aug. 5 opening of the games.
We had to balance the collective responsibility and the individual justice to which every
human being and athlete is entitled to, IOC
President Thomas Bach said.
The IOC rejected calls from the World AntiDoping Agency and many other anti-doping
bodies to exclude the entire Russian Olympic
team following allegations of state-sponsored
cheating.
Russias track and field athletes have already
been banned by the IAAF, the sports governing body, a decision that was upheld Thursday
by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and was
accepted by the IOC again on Sunday.
Calls for a complete ban on Russia intensified after Richard McLaren, a Canadian
lawyer commissioned by WADA, issued a
report Monday accusing Russias sports ministry of overseeing a vast doping program of
its Olympic athletes.
McLarens investigation, based heavily on
evidence from former Moscow doping lab
director Grigory Rodchenkov, affirmed allegations of brazen manipulation of Russian urine
samples at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi,
but also found that state-backed doping had
involved 28 summer and winter sports from
2011 to 2015.
But the IOC board, meeting via teleconference, decided against the ultimate sanction, in
line with Bachs recent statements stressing
the need to take individual justice into account.
An athlete should not suffer and should not
be sanctioned for a system in which he was not
implicated, Bach told reporters on a conference call after Sundays meeting.
Back acknowledged the decision might not
please everybody.
This is not about expectations, he said.
This is about doing justice to clean athletes
all over the world.

INDIANAPOLIS Kyle Busch heard all


about the potential to pull off a historic
sweep at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
On Sunday, he accomplished the feat.
Busch led a record 149 of 170 laps and beat
teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line in
a second overtime to win his second straight
Brickyard 400. Coupled with an Xfinity
Series victory a day earlier, Busch became
the first NASCAR driver to win both poles
and both races on the same weekend.
Ive never had a dominant car like this,
Busch said after celebrating his fourth win of
the season with his wife and son. This is
obviously a special day and a special car.
The impressive feat even overshadowed
two other major story lines Jeff Gordons
comeback and Tony Stewarts farewell.
Stewart finished 11th in his final race at
Indianapolis, while Gordon was 13th.
Gordon came out of retirement to replace

Ex-NFL coach Green dies at 67


By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Dennis Green, the


trailblazing coach who led a Minnesota
Vikings renaissance in the 1990s before a
less successful run with
the Arizona Cardinals,
has died. He was 67.
Greens family posted a
message Friday on the
Cardinals
website
announcing the death.
His family was by his
side and he fought hard,
Dennis Green the statement said. It did
not
disclose
other
details, though the Cardinals said Green had
died of a heart attack.
Green was the first black head coach in
Big Ten history when he took over at
Northwestern in 1981 and was just the third
black head coach in the NFL when the
Vikings hired him in 1992. Through it all,

Green worked hard to provide opportunities


for minorities on his coaching staffs and
was beloved by his players for the loyalty
he showed them.
Green spent 10 seasons in Minnesota,
leading the Vikings to eight playoff appearances and two NFC championship games.
He had only one losing season and compiled an overall record of 97-62, a mark second only to Bud Grant in franchise history.
That included a 15-1 regular season in 1998
spearheaded by a record-setting offense.
Greens leadership was never needed more
than during training camp in 2001 when
offensive tackle Korey Stringer collapsed
and died from heat illness, but his tenure in
Minnesota also was marked by controversy.
He penned a book in 1997 entitled No
Room for Crybabies in which he threatened to sue the ownership group if he didnt
obtain an ownership stake. And at the end of
the 2001 season, he was ousted with one
game left in the season after losing a power
struggle with owner Red McCombs.

Busch.
The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was so
strong that Roger Penskes drivers started
with a strategy of trying stretch their runs
long enough to make one fewer pit stop. It
didnt work Joey Logano finished seventh and Keselowski wound up 17th.
The only real challenge for Busch came
with a series of late crashes that delayed his
inevitable trip to victory lane.
The crashes began when Carl Edwards car
wiggled in the first turn on a restart with
seven laps to go. His car slid up the track,
hitting Keselowski, as well as Ryan Blaney,
Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick. The wreck
brought out a red flag for almost eight minutes.
On the ensuing restart, with three to go,
Busch again pulled away only to have a collision between Trevor Bayne and Clint
Bowyer behind him to send the race into
first overtime.
It happened again when Jamie McMurray
slid through the first turn and into the wall
on the next restart, but Busch pulled away
one more time for a historic win in a race
that actually took 425 miles.

[Tri-City] played an awesome
game and they didnt give up either,
Nate Uter said. It was one of those
games whoever was going to
flinch first. But Im really proud of
this team and they way they played.
Pacifica produced plenty of magic
throughout the game. First it was
the bats, as the evening contest
looked destined to yield plenty of
runs, which it did. But it was sturdy
pitching through the late innings,
plus a magic defensive play by
pitcher Dylan Uter that kept
Pacifica in the drivers seat through
the first five-and-a-half frames.
Pacifica opened by batting around
for five runs in the top of the first.
Then after Tri-City answered with
four runs in the bottom of the
inning including a loud two-run
bomb by Erickson that banged the
scoreboard in left field Pacifica
responded with a single tally in the
top of the second when Dylan Uter
went yard for a solo bomb, giving
the green-and-gold a 6-4 edge.
Tri-city scored four more in the
bottom of the second with
Erickson pounding his second
homer of the day, a three-run shot
but Pacifica responded with a massive eight-run outpouring in the top
of the third, sending 12 batters to
the plate in the inning to take a 148 lead.
But with each team burning

Pacifica finally did, but not before

TERRY BERNAL/DAIL;Y JOURNAL

Pacifica Americans Enzo Galligani slides home to score during an


eight-run rally in the third inning of a 16-15 loss to Tri-City.
Dylan Uter turned an unreal double
play.
Tri-City scored five in the fourth
to close it 14-13. But in the fifth,
Dylan Uter hung a zero on Pacificas
opponent thanks to a critical twin
killing that was anything but conventional.
With a runner on first, Tri-Citys
Tanner Dykstra ripped a comebacker
right at the head of Dylan Uter. The
play looked scary at first, until the
catlike hurler got his glove up to
snare the liner as he was falling
backward. He then was able to throw
to first to double up the base runner.
I just saw the ball coming and I
put my glove up to protect myself,
and it went in, Dylan Uter said.
Then I heard the second baseman
yelling to throw to first.
Nate Uter Dylans father was
stationed at the front of the thirdbase dugout and was as scared as
anyone as the screaming liner left
the bat.
It was scary, Nate Uter said.
Im just glad hes OK. Those comeback plays are as scary as they
come.

But Dylan Uter retrieved the ball


with a big smile after the play and
went back to work.
Right-handed reliever Ronin
Sargent entered in the sixth and
threw one-plus inning to take the
loss. The only run he surrendered
was unearned.
Dylan Uter and catcher Mason
Mini paced Pacifica with three hits
apiece. Amid the eight-run rally in
the third, Mini had two hits, two
runs scored and an RBI in the inning.
It was an emotional loss for
Pacifica, with just its second onerun game of the postseason.
I told them to be sad for now and
flush it and come back tomorrow,
Nate Uter said. That we still have a
chance to do this.
Pacificas only other loss of the
postseason came in the championship-round opener of the District
52 tournament.
Pacifica must now win three
games through the losers bracket
to advance to Fridays championship round of the state tourney
the final stage of the 9-10-yearold level.

Star Trek Beyond soars with $59.6M


By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Star Trek


Beyond has landed atop the weekend box office.
Paramounts latest outing with
the Starship Enterprise soared to
$59.6 million in domestic ticket
sales, according to studio estimates
Sunday,
knocking
Universals The Secret Life of
Pets from the No. 1 spot.
Pets fell to second place,
adding an additional $29.3 million to its stellar $260 million
earnings over the past three
weeks.
Star Trek Beyond is the third
film in the rebooted franchise that
kicked off with J.J. Abrams Star

Trek. This latest film opened $20


million behind that 2009 release,
but experts say the returns are still
promising for Paramount.
This is a solid enough debut to
tell them theres still enough
interest in Star Trek to keep this
franchise alive, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker
comScore.
Star Trek Beyond opened in
line with industry expectations,
he said, despite the unexpected
death last month of 27-year-old
actor Anton Yelchin, who played
Chekov.
The tragic passing of Anton
Yelchin made it bittersweet for
fans, Dergarabedian said. I dont

PLAYING FIELDS GET HELP

GLADIATOR WINNER

Multiple community organizations coordinated their efforts to dramatically improve the playing fields at Ralston Middle School in Belmont Saturday, July 16. The Boy Scouts came with owl nests to reduce the gopher
infestation and more than 30 people from AYSO soccer, Belmont United soccer and Little league pitched in to
fill the holes and spread new grass seed. The Belmont Parks and Recreation Department supplied the materials and tools.

Civil-rights marchers: US still needs to address inequality


By Emily Wagster Pettus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON, Miss. A half-century ago, thousands joined a march


across Mississippi to challenge a
system that condoned violence
against black people and suppressed their rights issues still
reverberating in todays national
debates about police violence.
The March Against Fear in the
summer of 1966 helped many find
a voice to protest the injustices of
the day, setting an example for
contemporary movements such as
Black Lives Matter.
The link between past and present was on the minds of participants in the march 50 years ago
who recently told their stories to
The Associated Press.
They say recent deadly encounters involving police show that
Americans need to engage in hon-

est dialogue about race even if


its uncomfortable for some people to acknowledge that black
lives have long been devalued.
They also lamented what they see
as a lack of progress on many
fronts.
Literally
nothing
has
changed, says James Meredith,
who launched the march. That is
not completely true. What has
changed the so-called civil rights
movement is completely at an
end. It is over.... Thats why we
have the crisis we have in the
nation today.
While Meredith declined to discuss specifics of the recent violence which has included fatal
shootings of black men by police
and deadly attacks on officers
he and his contemporaries say
much work still needs to be done.
The march started as a one-man
journey by Meredith, four years

goes, what we are seeing here is what the
trend is across the state, she said.

Expectations
A primary driver of such emotional strife
can be the expectation to earn good grades,
get into the top colleges and land the best
jobs, which is a set of perceived expectations placed by friends, family, classmates
and society that many local students battle,
said Littrell.
The stress of wanting to perform academically and balance a full schedule there
are a lot of variables depending on the student and their situation that can be part of
the trigger, she said.
Greg Quigley, principal of San Mateo
Middle College, who oversaw a San Mateo
Union High School District survey on student wellness, noted the housing crises can
be a challenge for students as well.
Some district students come from families
struggling to afford the escalating cost of
living on the Peninsula, often resulting in
them being forced to share housing with
many other relatives, or adapt to other, suboptimal residences.
The economy tends to be a challenge,
said Quigley.
To meet the increase in demand, the coun-

after he integrated the University


of Mississippi amid violent backlash. In June 1966, he wanted to
show that a black man could walk
through Mississippi without fear.
He set out to walk more than 200
miles from Memphis, Tennessee,
to the Mississippi capital of
Jackson.
But one day in, a white man shot
and wounded Meredith. Activists
including the Rev. Martin Luther
King took up his cause and eventually rallied thousands of marchers.
Now 83, Meredith wants the
black community to embrace education and mentorship as ways to
pay God back.
Citizenship is what the March
Against Fear was about, he says.
Citizenship. Not only rights and
privileges are part of citizenship.
Duty and responsibility are an
equal part, and thats the part the
black race has failed to pay any

ty Office of Education has been instrumental


in developing a cradle of resources which
can support local students and schools in a
variety of unique fashions, said Littrell.
One of the integral initiatives to addressing the mental and emotional needs of students offered by county officials, said
Littrell, is a professional development program designed to help educators identify
early signs of distress.
More than 1,600 local school staffers
have participated in a training offered by
the Office of Education which helps educators recognize warning signs of a student
struggling with mental health, said Littrell.

More teachers interested in training


A recent study of San Mateo Union High
School District staff showed more educators
are interested in taking professional development courses specializing in recognizing
mental and emotional issues among students, said Quigley, to address the growing
focus on such issues.
A district report last fall mirroring the
goals of the state survey showed 66 percent of staff in the local high school district said they would like more training in
meeting the developmental needs of students, an increase of 3 percent from the
year prior.
Quigley said the uptick in interest for student support is due to the increased need
among students for similar services in
recent years.

I see this country as a violent
country.... We shirk talking about
it, says Freelon-Foster, who was
15 when the marchers passed
through her hometown of
Grenada.
She says their courage gave
locals the confidence to challenge
segregation.
It opened something up for my

She and other black students
integrated Grenada schools the
following fall, and they were beaten by white men wielding baseball
bats and tree limbs.

ficult time in school, he said. Mental


health needs have been growing.
The district survey indicated the number
of freshmen feeling sadness and hopelessness dipped slightly last year from the year
prior, down from 28 percent to 21 percent,
but has increased among juniors over that
same period from 27 percent to 29 percent.
Quigley acknowledged the issue deserves
great care and attention from district educators and staff.
The numbers are concerning, both the
helplessness and sadness. I dont think it is
lost on our staff and our teachers and counselors, he said. We are addressing this as
best we can at every school site.

Emotional and psychological support


High school district officials have
focused on offering individualized learning
opportunities, such as implementing free
periods on some campuses during which
time students may work in the classroom of
their choice, Quigley said.
The periods are useful for allowing students to catch up on all of their assignments
and in the process reduce the stress they
may feel about potentially falling behind,
and also pay dividends in establishing a

own grandson was fatally shot by
deputies in Los Angeles in 1999.
Dion Goodloe, 19, was home in
a wheelchair with a broken leg
when officers came to investigate
a report of trouble at a nearby
store, says BrownWright. She was
told that her grandson was sitting
on his hands and that officers
thought he was hiding a gun. A
sheriffs spokesman said at the
time that he had a gun and pointed
it at deputies.
Whatever the reason was, it did
not justify them shooting a kid
sitting in a wheelchair who could
not walk, she says.
Still, she condemns any violence whether by police or
against them.
The Bible tells us ... you dont

sides, BrownWright says.

close relationship between teachers and students, said Quigley.


Fostering trust on a high school campus
can be valuable in helping students feel
safe, and offering them the emotional and
psychological support they need, said
Quigley.
The district has also ramped up the
amount of counselors, wellness coordinators and psychological support personnel
available at campuses, said Quigley.
Considering the seemingly ceaseless
stream of bad news which has developed
over the past few months, from strife
between residents and law enforcement to
instances of international and domestic terror, Littrell added support services may be
especially necessary to build the ability of
students to cope with challenging and
potentially confusing issues.
These are some crazy times that our students are aware of, she said.
But county officials will remain committed to working with local districts, as well
as other care organizations, to ensure the
wellness needs of students are met.
We are really bringing our school partners as close as we can with our community
to make sure there are no gaps in our services, she said.

Heat wave showing no signs of slowing down

PHILADELPHIA The heat wave


gripping parts of the country including Philadelphia, where tens of thousands are descending upon the city for

BOARD
Continued from page 1
Supervisor Don Horsley about problems with governance at the board
after the Local Agency Formation
Commission recommended the mosquito district be dissolved and
absorbed by the county after former
employees were convicted of embezzling nearly $600,000 from it.
One of the employees had been
accused of embezzling from a previous
agency before being hired by the district, Horsley said.
It was a comedy of errors, Horsley
said about the scandal.
During LAFCOs service review of
the district, Horsley said that none of
the boards 21 members took responsibility for any troubles at the district.
There is great difficulty in holding
anybody accountable. Seven is simply
a more manageable number, Horsley
said Friday.

the governance be changed but allows
for the cities to vote on it themselves.
Eleven votes would be needed to

The open pool will cost $5.50 for

formed to enter, said Pinnell.
City officials who will operate the
programs are enthusiastic about making the facility available to residents,
said Pinnell.
We are very excited to be able to

Northeast and continuing to fuel wildfires in California.
Its fair to say that the vast majority of the nation has been experiencing
above normal temperatures for the past
week, said David Robinson, New
Jersey state climatologist at Rutgers

University.
The dome of high pressure traps hot
air and is the basis for the critical
high temperatures the country has
been experiencing the past week,
Robinson said, even for being the
warmest time of the year.
Thunderstorms are common, as they

change the governance.


I dont know why cities wouldnt
want to have this option in their toolshed if there is a problem with the general manager or service, Horsley said.
Gordon notes, however, that his bill
does not require a change in governance but only allows for it.
Its not necessarily a piece of legislation that every jurisdiction will
like, Gordon said.
The Redwood City Council is set
Monday night to approve a letter from
Seybert to the committee where the
bill now sits.
There is no evidence to substantiate
the claim that the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District
currently needs special oversight or
that a change in state law is needed to
redefine the governance of this
agency, Seybert wrote in the letter to
the seven members of the Senate
Governance and Finance Committee.
Since the criminal behavior in
2011, the board has appointed a new
general manager, general counsel and
finance director, Seybert wrote in the
letter.
Many steps have been taken since
that time to improve operations and
ensure quality oversight, Seybert

wrote.
Having a representative from each
city on the board allows for greater
contact with the public, he wrote.
The district is a special tax district
supported by property taxes with a
mission is to safeguard the health of
residents from diseases carried by mosquitoes, rats and other pests.
The mosquito district board opposes
Gordons bill.
Board President Rich Wykoff called
Horsleys characterization of the
boards governance as insulting and
inappropriate.
Wykoff wrote his own letter to
Horsley.
While I have little argument with
the historical comments about the district, I do take great exception to your
comments indicating the current composition of the board of trustees has
proven itself both unwieldy and ineffective in providing the needed oversight. I think those comments are not
only incorrect but insulting to all
trustees and especially to those who
have been appointed to the board in
the last three to four years, Wykoff
wrote to Horsley. Wykoff is Foster
Citys former city manager who also
previously served on the City Council.

Shawnterra Moore, superintendent


of the South San Francisco Unified
School District, said in an email she
was pleased to work with city officials
on an initiative to benefit residents.
We will always to look for ways to
collaborate with the city and all of our
other partners, she said. We are glad
we are able to provide this as an
option for our community members.
The city has hosted programs at the
pool in the past, said Pinnell, but
budget cuts during the Great Recession
trimmed staff levels so low that the
services could not continue.
But as the citys economy has
rebounded over recent years, Pinnell
said officials have identified the
school pool programs as one of a variety of community enhancement initiatives they plan to pursue.
The city operates an indoor pool at
Orange Park, but space is limited and

demand is so high from residents, officials sought ways to improve the


aquatic offerings.
We want to expand and reach more
of the community that wants these
programs, she said. This is the best
way to see what the demand is, if we
were to open it up in the summer.
A successful pilot program could
breed more opportunities for collaboration between the city and school district on sharing the pool, said Pinnell.
They were very open and excited to
let us try this again, and then we will
come back to the table and go from
there for the future, she said.
But as the pool is officially open,
Pinnell said she looks forward to the
entire South San Francisco community
using it.
It seems like people are excited and
they are going to enjoy it for the
upcoming two weeks, she said.

been wonderfully supportive,
Guglielmone said.
Leaders of the Southern Baptist
Convention were unhappy with
the BSAs easing of the ban on gay
adults, but did not call on individual churches to disaffiliate with
troops that they sponsored.
A year later, the number of
Southern Baptist churches that did
cut ties with Scouting is in the
double digits, far outnumbered by
those who continued their sponsorships, according to Ted S.
Spangenberg Jr., president of the
executive board of the Association
of Baptists for Scouting.
We kind of like the way it

dent of the BSAs Greater New York


Councils, serving nearly 50,000
youths in the New York City area.
In April 2015, the NY Councils
played a key role in the BSA policy change, defying the ban by hiring an 18-year-old gay Eagle
Scout to work at one of its summer
camps.
Mason said the aftermath of the
change has been overwhelmingly
positive in New York. Some corporations and liberal religious
groups that cut ties with the
Scouts have restored them, he
said, while the Catholic archdiocese has remained fully active.
Until last year, the Boy Scouts
had adhered to a ban on gay adults
for more than three decades, even
taking a case to the U.S. Supreme
Court in 2000, when it won a 5-4
decision upholding its right to
have exclusionary membership
policies.
That ruling fueled protests
against the BSA by gay-rights
supporters.
After internal debate, the BSA
leadership decided in 2013 to
allow participation by openly gay

youth. But it faced continued pressure to ease its ban on gay adults
serving as paid staff or volunteers.
At the urging of Robert Gates,
the former defense secretary who
was BSA president at the time, the
Scouts National Executive Board
voted 45-12 on July 27, 2015, to
end the blanket ban on gay adult
leaders while allowing churchsponsored units to maintain the
exclusion for religious reasons.
About 73 percent of Scout units
are sponsored by churches, some
of them open to participation by
gay adults.
Like several other major youth
organizations, the Boy Scouts
have experienced a membership
decline in recent decades. Current
youth participation, according to
the BSA, is about 2.35 million,
down from 2.6 million in 2013
and more than 4 million in peak
years of the past.
However, Gates, in a speech in
May before stepping down as BSA
president, said there were encouraging trends, with the overall rate
of decline slowing and an increase
in the number of boys joining Cub

Scouts.
We are on the threshold of a
significant historical event a
return to positive national growth
for the first time in decades,
Gates said.
There are no official statistics
on how many gay adults have been
accepted as BSA leaders since the
ban was eased.
We do not inquire about the
sexual orientation of our youth
members, adult volunteers or
employees, said BSA spokeswoman Effie Delimarkos.
Though the policy change did
not trigger massive defections,
there were some emphatic departures.
The Catholic bishop of
Bismarck, North Dakota, David
Kagan, announced his diocese
would end its affiliation. In addition, about 20 individual Catholic
parishes around the country
dropped their sponsorship of
Scout troops, according to
Guglielmone.
In Appleton, Wisconsin, Faith
Lutheran Church severed its ties
with Boy Scout and Cub Scout

units it had sponsored for 60


years. Pastor Dan Thews said he
couldnt accept the idea of gay
adults having influence over boys
in the unit.
In Utah, where most troops are
sponsored by Mormon churches,
the change appears to have had
modest impact.
The Mormon Church, which
sponsors more Scout units that
any other organization in the
U.S., initially said it was deeply
troubled by the policy change but
later committed to sticking with
the Boy Scouts.
One of the groups that campaigned against the BSAs bans on
gay youths and adults Scouts for
Equality is trying to build a
national network of Scout units
that publicly identify as welcoming
gays. Zach Wahls, a co-founder of
Scouts for Equality, said this program is now active in 31 states,
with participation by more than
4,800 youths and 2,300 adults.
We still have a ways to go,
said Wahls, 24, an Eagle Scout
who was raised by lesbian mothers
in Iowa.

pushed for changes to the party


nominating process at a meeting
of the party rules committee
Saturday. They did not succeed in
an effort to pass an amendment
abolishing superdelegates, but
they did win a compromise deal
with the Clinton camp a unity
commission that will review the
overall procedures and will seek to

limit the role of superdelegates in


future elections.
On the hacked emails, Clintons
campaign manager, Robby Mook,
tried to shift blame away from
DNC officials to Russian state
actors who, he said, may have
hacked into DNC computers for
the purpose of helping Donald
Trump, the Republican presiden-

tial nominee. How the emails were


stolen hasnt been confirmed.
It was concerning last week
that Donald Trump changed the
Republican platform to become
what some experts would regard as
pro-Russian, Mook said.
Party wrangles aside, Clinton is
within just days of her long-held
ambition to become the partys

official presidential nominee.


After the DNC released a slightly trimmed list of superdelegates
those are the party officials
who can back any candidate it
now takes 2,382 delegates to formally clinch the nomination.
Clinton has 2,814 when including
superdelegates.
Sanders has

vulnerable to a warming planet.
