Officials scrutinize community center plan

Financial, design concerns plague proposed project
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A vision of the new community

center in Burlingame is beginning
to take shape, but some officials are
uncertain about the design of the
proposed project, and how the city
will pay for its construction.
The Burlingame City Council met
for an hour study session Monday,
Aug. 18, with city staff, architects
and members of the community to
discuss the project which is slated to

be built at the site of the citys current recreation center, 850

Burlingame Ave.
The firm hired to gather input
from residents and transform those
perspectives into a proposed project
presented renderings of the center,
which is estimated to cost $15 million, but is currently unfunded.
Dawn Merkes, a representative
from Group 4 Architecture, presented illustrations of a mission-style,
residential influenced building
which she said drew inspiration

from community input and other

local landmarks.
The architecture firm, city staff,
members of various commissions
and residents have engaged in
roughly one years worth of discussions to develop a sense of how the
project should look.
This is what really resonated in
our meetings, said Merkes, of the
proposed building design.

Growing old together

Woman, 92, adopts 14-year-old cat from humane society

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Peninsula Humane Society

has done it again its made a
purrfect match!
Nestled together in a cozy
Burlingame home, 92-year-old
Anastasia Sky and her recently
adopted 14-year-old cat named
Jenny are enjoying growing old
together.
A longtime animal lover, Sky said
she decided to adopt Jenny five
weeks ago after her last cat passed
away at the ripe age of 19 years. An

elderly and apparently feral cat with

significant health problems when
she was first turned in to the PHS,
Jenny is the type of cat most shy
away from when visiting the shelter.
But that wasnt the case for Sky
who said Jenny has been a heartwarming addition to the home she
shares with her daughter and two
other cats.
People are really cautious about
getting an elderly cat thinking they
might be a lot of trouble. I find an
older cat is much less trouble than a
younger cat because shes quieter
and doesnt have as much energy,

Sky said. So an old cat for an old

person is ideal! I thought Id give
her a home and wed grow old
together.
Acknowledging the inevitable,
Sky said its important for anyone
whos elderly and considering
adopting a pet to ensure they have a
suitable arrangement in the event
the animal outlives its owner.
The thing that an elderly person
thinking of adopting a cat has to
take into consideration is he or she
might die before the cat. So they

buildings lifts citys revenue
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL

The recent sale of two corporate

landmarks in San Bruno has brought
forth a boon for the city in tax revenue from the purchases.
The Shops at Tanforan sold for
$174.4 million to Australian investment fund QIC, according to a press
release Monday, Aug. 17, and
Google spent $88 million to purchase the YouTube headquarters in

twin office buildings at 900 and

1000 Cherry Ave. earlier this month,
according to the Silicon Valley
Business Journal.
The sales generated about
$68,400 combined in property transfer tax revenue for San Bruno,
which splits the tax proceeds roughly in half with San Mateo County
each time a property changes hands,

Jimmy Carters cancer fight puts
new meaning in old message
PLAINS, Ga. The Sunday school
lesson was familiar: When your burden
grows heavy, ask God for strength. But
the message carried a more powerful
and personal meaning than usual
because of who delivered it: Jimmy
Carter.
The 90-year-old former president
taught Sunday school in his hometown
for the first time since he disclosed on
Thursday that his cancer had spread to
his brain.
With easygoing humor and his usual
toothy smile, Carter gave two back-toback Bible lessons to unusually large
crowds totaling more than 700 people
some of whom had traveled hundreds
of miles just three days after undergoing radiation treatment.
He spent less than five minutes recapping his illness before saying, Thats
enough of that subject and beginning
the lesson on faith, love and relationships.
Carter said he and his wife of 69
years, Rosalynn, resolved never go to
sleep without settling their differences.
Just being able to admit you MIGHT
be mistaken and that the other person
MIGHT be right will improve a relationship, he said, prompting laughter
from the crowd at Maranatha Baptist
Church.
He encouraged his listeners to consider God a partner in their lives.

Indian Joe and the Junipero Serra controversy

few years ago Indian Joe was a

mere footnote in the history of the
World War II Merchant Marine
school at Coyote Point where he became collateral damage. Today, with the controversy
surrounding the approaching canonization of
California mission founder Junipero Serra, he
could become a much larger part of history.
Unfortunately, little is known about Indian
Joe, who pretty well lived off the land at
Coyote Point but disappeared into the night
when he was displaced by the merchant
marine training facility. More is known about
his father, the last full-blooded Indian on the
Peninsula. Joes mother was reportedly of
Spanish descent.
It is assumed that he is now dead, historian Frank Stanger wrote about Indian Joe in
South from San Francisco, which was published by the San Mateo County Historical
Association in 1963. It appears that, with his
passing, the race that first inhabited the
Peninsula, the people whose rising smokes
attracted the attention of the first white
explorers, became extinct.
Joe, whose full name was Jose Evencio, was
referred to as a well known character in an
article in the Burlingame Advance on May 14,
1928. The newspaper reported that he was
injured in a car accident in San Francisco and
was found in his shack on the point in an
apparently helpless condition yesterday by a
hiker. Police officers said Joe sustained an
ugly scalp wound that was treated by a doctor. The Advances account said Joe has

The statue of California mission founder Junipero Serra on Interstate 280.

been keeper of the yacht harbor on the east
shores of Coyote Point for several years.
A story in the 1930 Burlingame High
School Annual by student Jane Taylor
recounted the harrowing tale of two brothers
and their encounter with Joe who took a shot
at them. Taylor described Joe as a half wit
who guarded the point with his gun and dog
and used methods crude and simple.
If someone on horseback should happen to
ride through the woods, Joe would merely
dash out with his gun and dog and shoot at the
ground under the horses hoofs, Taylor
reported, adding that it was considered wisest to keep out of Injun Joes range.
The bestowing of sainthood on Serra is
scheduled for Sept. 23 when Pope Francis visits the nations capital. Among other things,
critics blame Serra and his fellow missionaries for ending a culture centered on nature, a
venue Joe favored. It is interesting to speculate what todays Department of Fish and

Wildlife, until recently Fish and Game, would

think about Joes lifestyle.
Joe was the son of Pedro Evencio, who testified in an 1869 court case involving title to
Rancho San Mateo. Except for visits to
Mission Dolores in San Francisco, Evencio
spent his entire life on the ranch.
In the 1890s, Mary Barnes, a professor from
Stanford, interviewed Pedro Evencio in his
small San Mateo home. Barnes described him
as a reserved, dignified man who told her
about the days when Mission Indians hauled
lumber from the Peninsula to San Francisco.
Evencio, the offspring of a tribelet of the
Costanoans, was killed a few years later when
he was struck by a train.
In his court testimony, Evencio said he
could remember back to the days when there
were about 80 Indians at San Mateo, including
boys.
I was raised there, he said, referring to the
ranch that was once part of a mission outpost.
There are only myself and an uncle of mine
still alive of the San Mateo Indians. He testified that he helped plant wheat, beans, and
corn. In her report, Stanford professor Barnes
said Pedro lived in a little white-washed house
neat within and without, the garden full of
pinks and stocks and all sweet bright flowers
As for Serra, his legacy is everywhere on
the Peninsula. Theres Serra High, Serra
County Park, a mural in Sequoia High School
that was the work of students in the 1920s and
a statue on 280 that, in my humble opinion,
the critics might want to take a look at.

One year after San Francisco Bays biggest quake in decades

By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The 6.0 magnitude quake that

woke the placid wine town of Napa
at 3:20 a.m. on Aug. 24, 2014 was
the strongest quake to hit the San
Francisco Bay area in a quarter-century. It killed one person and injured
200 as bricks and furniture and
wine bottles - toppled onto sleeping
families. One year later, the signs of
lingering damage are minimal a
wobbly winery building here, a
shrouded, Victorian-era downtown
facade awaiting repairs there.
Some of the lessons and memories to come out of the quake are

more lasting, however. The

Associated Press talked to a seismologist, a city leader and a historic
wine family about key things to
know about the Napa quake, one
year on.

UNUSUALLY ROBUST
Earthquake experts call the Napa
quake the little quake that could,
said David Schwartz, a Bay Area
seismologist with the U.S.
Geological Survey. Cracking the
earth for nearly 8 miles, the quake
caused the longest, most complex
rupture of the surface of any earthquake of its size, among other
unusual movement. It really kind

of stands out, sort of, on the spectrum, Schwartz said.

QUAKE TECHNOLOGY
An earthquake early-warning system in the San Francisco area,
though still incomplete, picked up
the shaking in Napa several seconds
in advance - enough warning to
have given other Bay Area residents
time to duck and cover, if they had
needed to, Schwartz said. Other
new technology came into play as
seismologists studied the quake
afterward. Scientists used laser
imagery, radar imagery and drones
to help gather data on the quake site.
Smartphones, which developed

since the last major quake here, let

them share information in real time
from the field.

$500 MILLION IN DAMAGE

At Napas Trefethen Winery,
Hailey Trefethens family and their
employees are running their tasting
room out of a tent - the quake
knocked the 1886, old-growth redwood building that housed their old
tasting room 4 feet off-center. Its
one of a handful of damaged buildings still evident in Napa a year
after the shaking. Getting the landmark Napa winery building back on
center and steady will take about
another year, said Hailey Trefethen,

whos helping oversee repairs at the

family winery. We will be very
excited to have a party when everything is done, she said.

ADVICE FROM NAPAS MAYOR

Napas quake emphasized that outsides of buildings have to be
strengthened along with the insides,
Napa Mayor Jill Techel said. Old
buildings stood up, but the masonry
falling off their facade could have
hurt more people, if the quake had hit
during the day, Techel said. Other lessons in the first hours after a disaster, smartphones have become peoples main source of information and
impromptu flashlights.

Boaters mapping Pacific garbage arrive in SF

By Olga R. Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Far away from

Californias coast, where the Pacific Ocean
currents swirl, the blue of the sea was
replaced by fishing nets, buckets, buoys, laundry baskets and unidentifiable pieces of plastic that floated past the Ocean Star, a ship carrying a team of scientists and volunteers gathering data on plastic garbage.
We were surrounded by an endless layer of
garbage, sad Serena Cunsolo, an Italian
marine biologist who works for The Ocean
Cleanup. It was devastating to see.
Cunsolo, 28, was one of a team of 15
researchers and volunteers aboard the Ocean
Star who a month ago set out from San
Francisco to study the plastic waste as part of
the Mega Expedition, a major step in the
organizations effort to eventually clean up
whats known as the Great Pacific Garbage
Patch.
The 171-foot mother ship returned on
Sunday to San Francisco, carrying massive
white bags filled with plastic garbage along
with two sailing boats with volunteers who
helped collect the garbage samples.
Most of the trash they found, including a 1ton fishing net, is medium to large-sized
pieces, as opposed to confetti-like plastic
shards that are often ingested by fish and
birds, said Boyan Slat, who founded The
Ocean Cleanup and has developed a technology that he says can start removing the
garbage by 2020.
It was a good illustration of why it is such
an urgent thing to clean up because if we
dont clean it up soon then well give the big
plastic time to break into smaller and smaller

The boaters are using GPS and a smartphone app to search for and record the plastic.
pieces, Slat said. The minuscule particles can
easily enter the food chain after being eaten
by small fish and birds and are extremely difficult to clean up, he said.
Volunteer crews on 30 boats have been
measuring the size and mapping the location
of tons of plastic waste floating between the
West Coast and Hawaii that according to
some estimates covers an area twice the size
of Texas.
Slat said the group will publish a report of

its findings by mid-2016 and after that they

hope to test out a 1-mile barrier to collect
garbage near Japan. The ultimate goal is construction of a 60-mile barrier in the middle of
the Pacific.
The expedition was sponsored by The
Ocean Cleanup, an organization founded by
Slat, a 21-year-old innovator from the
Netherlands who has envisioned using longdistance floating barriers that will attach to
the seabed and target swirling ocean currents

full of waste and skim garbage from the surface while aquatic life and the currents themselves pass underneath.
He first became passionate about cleaning
the oceans of plastic while diving in the
Mediterranean Sea five years ago. I was diving in Greece and realized that there were
more plastic bags than fish, and I wondered
why cant we clean this up, Slat said.
After dropping out of university after his
first six months, Slat dedicated his life to
developing the technology the group will start
testing next year.
After a 2012 Ted Talk about his idea was
viewed more than 2 million times, Slat decided to launch a kickstarter campaign and raised
$2 million euros (about $ 2.27 million) that
helped to launch his organization. Soon, his
innovative solution got the attention of major
philanthropists in Europe and Silicon Valley,
including Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff,
who are helping pay for the data-gathering
efforts and the technologys development.
The Pacific expedition, which will end in
mid-September, will gather data that will be
more extensive than what has been collected
in the past 40 years.
It also will give a better estimate of the how
much plastic waste is in the Pacific Ocean,
Slat said.
The boaters are using GPS and a smartphone app to search for and record the plastic.
They take samples and ship them to the
Netherlands, where the plastics are counted
and recorded.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was discovered by Charles J. Moore in 1997 as he
returned home from the Transpacific Yacht
Race, which starts in Los Angeles and ends in
Honolulu.

Fire crews gain ground against wildfire

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Firefighters were gaining

ground Sunday against a California
wildfire that led to the evacuation of
thousands of people and destroyed a
lodge in Kings Canyon National Park.
Despite relentlessly high temperatures, fire crews increased the blazes
containment to 7 percent, the U.S. Forest

Service said. The wildfire has burned

across more than 73 square miles of timber and brush left parched by the states
extended drought.
At least 2,500 campers, hikers,
employees and residents fled the area
last week, including staffers and summer
campers at The Hume Lake Christian
Camp.
Nobody was hurt when the Kings

Canyon lodge, which bills itself as a

folksy getaway for tourists, was burned
to its foundation.
The lightning-sparked blaze has been
burning for three weeks. It is one of 15
wildfires burning across California.
Smoke from the huge fire was expected to degrade air quality, especially in
valley areas to the northeast, officials
said Sunday.

Out of juvie and into nature

California youth run wild webcams
By Linda S. Zhang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES
Harry
Grammer, the CEO of a Los
Angeles-based nonprofit that works
with young adults, wanted to give
kids recently out of the juvenile justice system real jobs and marketable
skills.
Three years ago, a chance meeting gave Grammer what he wanted.
Explore.org, a philanthropic
media branch of the Annenberg
Foundation, has a network of more
than 50 high-definition web cameras streaming live images of
wildlife around the clock. The
organization offered to fund a program that would hire his alums,
regardless of their previous offenses, as camera operators earning
hourly wage between $10 and $15
with benefits.
Since then, New Earth has

employed more
than 30 camera
operators, given
them technical
training
and
taught them film
editing, production and multimedia
skills.
More than a milHarry Grammer lion
people
watch the feeds online every month
to get a glimpse of the most remote
regions of the world, but few know
that behind those cameras are young
Los Angeles offenders, some of
whom have never even been down
the road to Disneyland.
But now they virtually step into
the beehives in Bavaria, Germany,
stand in the rough waters of Alaska
where brown bears fish for salmon
or watch pandas clumsily wrestling
each other in China.
Brandon Monroe was stabbed 15

times when he was 15 years old. He

said the attack and robbery in a dark
Los Angeles-area alley turned him
from a good person to pure cold.
Yet after years of crime and serious
time in juvenile hall, at age 19 hes
come in from the cold to spread
warmth in the form of penguins
and brown bears, walruses and
chipmunks.
From his desk in Culver City,
Calif., and with simple shifts of a
joystick, Monroe guides people to
watch exotic animals around the
world, remotely controlling cameras that capture the wonders of
wildlife.
Nature has no judgment,
Grammer said. I always tell my
kids, when you go into nature, you
dont see gang graffiti on the walls,
you dont hear police sirens, you
dont see people being violent with
each other, you dont hear loud
noises of hate, aggression, and
racism.
Grammers organization works

with young men and women from

15 detention centers in Southern
California during and after incarceration. Grammer, who once served
time on residential burglary
charges, founded the organization in
2004 to keep juvenile offenders off
the streets and out of trouble.
For teens with a history of incarceration, finding employment
especially jobs that lead to successful careers proves to be an unsurmountable challenge. Many fall into
unemployment, poverty, and crime.
Theres also a program called
Dog Bless You with shots from
domestic animal shelters, whose
great Danes Monroe says he favors
over all the exotic competition.
Many New Earth camera operators saw animals treated with cruelty in their neighborhoods, where
pit-bull brawls and razor-bladed
cockfights were considered entertainment.
Monroe said he never gave his
own future, much less the welfare

of animals, any thought before joining New Earth. He always had a

roof over his head as a child, but
said he never got the kind of support
he needed. His mother was in-andout-of-prison, leaving his father to
raise five children after his own
incarceration. Two of his younger
siblings and all of his uncles are still
in jail.
Committing petty crimes easily
turned into a habit and Monroe
became a frequent visitor to juvenile jail.
Eager for another chance but
unsure of where to begin during his
seventh and final jail visit, Monroe
decided that if he didnt get better,
he would go all out.
The animals led him on a different path. He said he has grown more
affectionate, more nurturing.
It makes me see things Ive
never seen before, Monroe said.
The animals give me a perspective on how to take care of people,
he said.

10K volunteers to help with papal visit to Philadelphia

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA An army of
about 10,000 volunteers will be on
hand when Pope Francis visits
Philadelphia during the Vaticansponsored World Meeting of
Families and holds the biggest
events of his first trip to the U.S.
Volunteers will greet and direct
pilgrims, provide translation services, aid guests with special needs and
perform a variety of other roles,
including posting images and mes-

sages on social
media, organizers from the
World Meeting
of Families said.
Six
weeks
before
the
popes
visit,
nearly 8,000 had
already passed
Pope Francis criminal
and
employment background checks.
The checks would have cost the
World Meeting of Families more

than $300,000 if the nonprofit were

paying for them all.
But in many cases, volunteers are
covering the costs, said Tom Klein,
executive director of Verified
Volunteers, the company handling
the work.
Mary Sisti, 23, will be coming
from nearby Princeton, New Jersey,
and staying with a friend who lives
downtown. She said paying the $28
fee was the least I could do.
Shell be working in guest services on the Benjamin Franklin

Parkway on Sept. 26, when the pope

attends a closing ceremony of the
family meeting. Organizers expect
about 750,000 people for that event;
a papal Mass the next day is expected to draw up to 1.5 million.
A 2014 graduate of St. Josephs
University in Philadelphia, Sisti
said volunteering would allow her
to give back to her school - run by
the Jesuit order, the same one Pope
Francis belongs to - and experience
a once-in-a-lifetime event.
No cheesesteaks or museums

this trip, she said.

Volunteers must be 18 or older,
though the average age of those in
the current pool is 50. About 6,000
are female. Many chose not to indicate their religious beliefs and
organizers said they were not surprised by indications people of
other religions are volunteering.
This is a moment not only for
Catholics, but for people of all faith
traditions, said Ken Gavin, a
spokesman for the archdiocese.
Every state is represented.

Obama sheds summer curse in time for daunting fall

By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDGARTOWN,
Mass.

President Barack Obama may have

finally shed his summer curse
just in time for a daunting fall.
After a string of sunny seasons
gripped by controversy, crises and
plummeting popularity, the summer
of 2015 has been among the most
productive stretches of Obamas
presidency. Late June victories in
the Supreme Court on health care
and gay marriage, along with a win
for his trade agenda on Capitol Hill,
were followed by the landmark Iran
nuclear deal in July and the raising
of the U.S. flag over a new embassy
in Cuba in August.
Instead of being overshadowed
by the 2016 presidential campaign,
Obamas agenda has often been
driving the debate among the candidates running to replace him.
And yet to the president, one of
his summers biggest successes may

simply be making it through

his annual vacation on the tony
Massachusetts
island
of
M a r t h a s
Vineyard largely
uninterrupted.
Barack Obama While his summer
troubles
have often trailed him on previous
vacations, hes poised to close out
this years trip Sunday without any
statements to the press or public
appearances, beyond a few
glimpses of him on the golf course
and biking with his family.
The president has absolutely
appreciated the opportunity to take
these two weeks outside of the hustle and bustle of Washington and
spend some time with family and
friends, White House spokesman
Eric Schultz said. Once we return
to Washington, our agenda is
packed, so the president is grateful

for some rest and relaxation in

advance of what will be a very busy
fall.
Indeed, the president returns to
Washington with a full schedule and
confrontations with Congress that
will help determine whether his
summer momentum is sustained or
sputters.
Atop the presidents priorities is
preventing Congress from blocking
the Iran deal, which curbs Tehrans
nuclear program in exchange for
billions of dollars in sanctions
relief.
Obama will likely have to veto a
resolution of disapproval by lawmakers, blemishing his signature
foreign policy initiative, but he
appears on track to garner enough
from support from Democrats to
hold off Republican override
efforts.
Obama is also hoping to avoid the
second government shutdown of his
presidency. Some conservative
Republicans have threatened to hold

Two attorneys banned

from detention center
By Seth Robbins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN ANTONIO Attorney Kim Hunter

received a letter earlier this month from
immigration authorities telling her shed been
banned from a family detention center in
South Texas for being belligerent in
demanding the release of her clients one late
July night.
Andrew Free learned Aug. 3 that hed also
been banished from the countrys largest such
facility after the attorney marched into a
courtroom trailer 10 days before to ask why
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
officials were meeting with his clients without his knowledge.
ICE says the two violated visitation standards, but a coalition of immigration attorneys says the bans are unprecedented and is
fighting to rescind them as part of its ongoing
effort to improve access to the immigrant
mothers and their children who are in the U.S.
without legal permission and being held at the
facility.
I have never encountered the constant
unrelenting drum beat of ways to interfere
with access, said Hunter, who arrived in late
July from St. Paul, Minnesota, to perform pro
bono work.
She is one of about 500 lawyers from

around the country who have volunteered a

week at a time at the 50-acre, 2,400-bed facility in Dilley, which currently holds some
1,000 immigrants. The center has faced
intense political and legal opposition after the
U.S. government opened it and another Texas
center in response to tens of thousands of
Central American mothers and children who
illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last
year. On Friday, a federal judge ordered the
rapid release of the children, along with their
mothers when possible something lawyers
for Homeland Security had been fighting and
could appeal.
The volunteer attorneys say their representation is vital in helping the women pass interviews that are the first hurdle in seeking asylum. Stephen Manning, an attorney involved
in the pro-bono projects, says that of the
5,000 immigrants whove had representation,
hes seen only 10 denials.
But the lawyers say immigration authorities
are increasingly hindering their ability to represent clients. They gave examples such as
citing security concerns as a way to deny
access to counsel, limiting access to courtrooms, keeping out psychologists whove
received clearance and sudden rule changes,
such as not allowing cellphones to be left in
lockers, meaning the lawyers must keep the
phones locked away in hot cars.

up funding bills to keep the government open after Oct. 1 unless federal money for Planned Parenthood is
cut.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., has dismissed
the prospect of a shutdown, saying
Weve been down this path
before. Still, the issue has spilled
into the 2016 presidential campaign, which will likely intensify
the debate over linking government
funding to the womens health
organization.
Seeking to bolster his legacy
abroad, Obama will also be pushing
for a global climate treaty and finalization of a free trade agreement
with Asia-Pacific nations.
His string of summer successes
began with Congress agreeing to a
fast-track approval process for the
trade pact when negotiations are
complete.
September also holds a White
House meeting with Pope Francis, a
state visit for Chinese President Xi

Jinping, where Beijings high-profile hacking will be on the agenda,

and the presidents annual trip to
New York for the United Nations
General Assembly.
For Obama, now deep in his second term, a busy, high-stakes agenda sure beats the alternative. His
presidency appeared to be quickly
slipping into lame-duck territory
last year, but began to rebound after
Democrats defeats in the midterm
election and picked up momentum
this summer.
Summer has previously been
Obamas cruelest season: the hostile
health care town halls in 2009, the
debt ceiling crisis in 2011, the presidents waffling on Syrias chemical
weapons use in 2013. Last summer
was consumed by the swift rise of
the Islamic State and the groups
gruesome beheading of Americans,
as well as tensions in Ferguson,
Missouri, after a white police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old black
man.

Islamic State destroys temple at Syrias Palmyra

By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Islamic State militants have destroyed a temple at

Syrias ancient ruins of Palmyra,
activists said Sunday, realizing the
worst fears archaeologists had for
the 2,000-year-old Roman-era city
after the extremists seized it and
beheaded a local scholar.
Palmyra, one of the Middle Easts
most spectacular archaeological
sites and a UNESCO World
Heritage site, sits near the modern
Syrian city of the same name.
Activists said the militants used
explosives to blow up the
Baalshamin Temple on its grounds,
the blast so powerful it also damaged some of the Roman columns
around it.
The
Britain-based
Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said
Sunday night that the temple was
blown up a month ago. Turkeybased activist Osama al-Khatib,

the hands of Islamic State militants and the ongoing war across most the
country.

who is originally from Palmyra,

said the temple was blown up
Sunday.
Both said the extremists used a
large amount of explosives to
destroy it.
Both activists relied on information for those still in Palmyra and
the discrepancy in their accounts
could not be immediately reconciled, though such contradictory
information is common in Syrias
long civil war.
The fate of the nearby Temple of
Bel, dedicated to the Semitic god
Bel, was not immediately known.
Islamic State group supporters on
social media also did not immediately mention the temples destruction.
The Sunni extremists, who have
imposed a violent interpretation of
Islamic law across their selfdeclared caliphate in territory
they control in Syria and Iraq, claim
ancient relics promote idolatry and
say they are destroying them as part

of their purge of paganism.

However, they are also believed to
sell off looted antiquities, bringing
in significant sums of cash.
Al-Khatib said the Baalshamin
Temple is about 550 yards from the
Palmyras famous amphitheater
where the group killed more than 20
Syrian soldiers after they captured
the historic town in May.
The temple dates to the first century and is dedicated to the
Phoenician god of storms and fertilizing rains.
The head of UNESCO, Irina
Bokova, said Friday that Islamic
State extremists in Syria and Iraq
are engaged in the most brutal,
systematic destruction of ancient
sites since World War II a stark
warning that came hours after militants demolished the St. Elian
Monastery, which housed a fifthcentury tomb and served as a major
pilgrimage site. The monastery was
in the town of Qaryatain in central
Syria.

US airman says train attacker ready to fight to the end

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Three American travelers say they relied on gut instinct

and a close bond forged over years
of friendship as they took down a
heavily armed man on a passenger
train speeding through Belgium.
U.S. Airman Spencer Stone,
recounting for the first time on
Sunday how a likely catastrophe
was averted two days earlier, said
the gunman, an assault rifle
strapped to his bare chest, seemed
like he was ready to fight to the

end. But he added, So were we.

Without a note of bravado but a
huge dose of humility, the three
described Fridays drama on an
Amsterdam-to-Paris fast train.
His arm in a sling, Stone, 23, said
he was coming out of a deep sleep
when the gunman appeared.

Guardsman recently back from
Afghanistan, just hit me on the
shoulder and said Lets go.

Francois
Hollande and a bevy of officials are

presenting the Americans with the

prestigious Legion of Honor on

A French citizen who first came
across the gunman near a train
bathroom and a British man who

also are being honored with the
award, according to the presidents
office.
The gunman, identified as 26year-old Moroccan Ayoub ElKhazzani, is detained and being
questioned by French counterterrorism police outside Paris. French and

Spanish authorities say El-Khazzani

is an Islamic extremist who may
have spent time in Syria. ElKhazzanis lawyer said on Sunday
that he was homeless and trying to

him or free him.

BEIRUT Lebanese riot police battled in
the streets of downtown Beirut for a second

Guest perspective

An excise tax on marijuana could make sense

By George Runner

alifornia lawmakers are nally

considering legislation to regulate medical marijuana, which
has been legal under state law for nearly two decades. Among the proposals is
a bill calling for an excise tax on marijuana that could raise nearly $60 million in revenue each year.
As a scal conservative and opponent
of recreational marijuana, Im an
unlikely voice in the cannabis tax policy debate. Yet after speaking with parties on all sides of the issue, Im convinced an excise tax on medical marijuana could make sense, and if done
correctly, would help ensure California
taxpayers are treated fairly.
Im the rst to admit that government
is too bloated and that Californians are
overtaxed. But the fundamental question here is who should pay the steep
costs of marijuana-related activities that
include trespass on public lands, water
theft and unregulated use of pesticides.
Simply put: Why should those who
dont use marijuana pay the environmental costs associated with growing
marijuana?
More funding is needed. Law
enforcement ofcials are urging
California to bolster its efforts to
address the unintended consequences of
legalizing marijuana for medical use at

the state level. The

rampant spread of
unregulated marijuana grows have
stretched local law
enforcement thin in
many communities
around the state.
An excise tax on
marijuana would
provide local law enforcement with the
revenue needed to combat these crimes.
Local governments would be better
able to respond to complaints related to
cannabis grown and sold in their communities.
Revenue collected from a marijuana
excise tax should not go to the states
general fundwhere lawmakers can
spend those dollars on their pet projects. The revenue should be placed in a
special fund where monies would be
protected and only spent to combat
marijuana-related crime, corruption and
environmental damage.
While curbing crime is a worthy
goal, lawmakers shouldnt overreach.
Setting the tax too high could backre
by harming industry participants willing to play by the rules. An unreasonable tax rate would cause an increase in
the marijuana black market and drive
the industry further underground.
As an elected tax ofcial, its my job
to make sure taxpayers are treated fairly. An excise tax on medical marijuana

would ensure the medical marijuana

industry and its end usersrather than
ordinary California taxpayerspay the
costs of combating marijuana-related
crimes.
Medical marijuana is already subject
to sales taxthats been a settled issue
for quite some time. Excise taxes are
imposed on a specic good, typically at
the wholesale or distributor level. The
Board of Equalization currently collects
excise taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and
tobacco products, but not on marijuana.
Some might resist the call for a new
tax, and normally Id be with them.
However, we as a society have agreed
that certain shared priorities like police,
schools and roads should be a government priority. Taxes provide funding
for these shared priorities.
The question is who should pay for
needed enforcement efforts? I think the
cannabis industry and its users should,
not California taxpayers who dont use
marijuana.
George Runner represents more than
nine million Californians as a taxpayer
advocate and elected member of the
State Board of Equalization where he
serves as Vice Chair. For more information, visit boe.ca.gov/Runner.

Equalization vice chair.

Why we shouldnt elect Board of
Education members by districts
Editor,
The July 27 account (Attorney
warns of likely election system lawsuit in the July 27 edition of the Daily
Journal) of some lawyer threatening to
sue the South San Francisco Unied
School District if it doesnt adopt a system electing Board of Education members by district motivates me to recommend publicly that the District ignore
the legal bullying.
I note that the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors caved in to a similar demand, and the San Mateo
Community College District did not do
so. If you want dysfunction, examine
the San Francisco system of now electing 11 supervisors by districts.
Instituted rst in 1977, it was repealed
three years later in a special election
after the assassination of the thenmayor and a supervisor. Restored by
impetus from so-called activists in
1995 and coupled with ranked choice
voting, it has produced winners representing the choice of as few as two
thousand voters, who then became

If you want a project in any San

oppose a project in contravention of

San Francisco is a well-run city in all

alone its redoubtable City Council.
Lets hope District Trustees arent

interest to have a city clerk who is

hired based on knowledge, skills, abilities, experience and education. I
believe the position should be a department head manager at the executive
team level so they can stand their
ground on a ruling or opinion if it is in
the interest of maintaining integrity,
transparency and the publics trust.
The qualications of being 18, a U.S.

paltry compared to the responsibilities
and training required to perform such
responsibilities and do them
well.Elections should be for policy
makers. The clerk position is administrative in nature and mostly directed by
statute. Being the city clerk should not
be based on a popularity contest, rather
a skill-set commensurate with the position.
The appointed city clerk has more
accountability and less chance of an

embarrass the profession.

Surprises
on the ballot
N

ow that the ling period has ended and we know

what candidates will be on the ballot in November
there are a few surprises.
It was expected that in Belmont several candidates who
helped with or supported the referendum would challenge
the council majority. But thats not going to happen. There
are three vacancies and two of the candidates, Doug Kim
and Davina Hurt are more in line with current councilmembers Charles Stone, Warren Lieberman and Eric Reed. Kim
and Hurt have also picked up the support of state Senator
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin,
D-South San Francisco.
Dwight Looi, a product
developer, is also in the race.
It was not that long ago that
a referendum to curtail housing sizes and to lift some
restrictions from tree protection was bound for the ballot
until the council decided to
undo the controversial ordinances and try for more
moderate ones.
***
In Foster City, Councilman
Steve Okamoto, in a surprising op-ed piece in the Daily
Journal, announced he was
not seeking a second term because of dysfunction on the
present council. Too many valued staff members were leaving and it sounded as if the council was an unpleasant place
to be.
An unhealthy environment has been created on the
council which has caused, in my opinion, many good staff
members to leave or nd employment elsewhere. Our civic
leaders should be setting good examples of responsible
behavior. It is my opinion that some have not. The actions of
those members, again in my opinion, are an embarrassment
to the city. I have lived with this shameful behavior for the
past four years, he wrote. Assistant city manager Steve
Toler moved to Oregon after working in Millbrae briey,
Brad Underwood left to become San Mateos Public Works
director and City Manager Jim Hardy retired early.
According to a knowledgeable resident, the past few
years have been ugly. Hopefully the election will bring a
candidate who can start some healing and some positive outcomes. There are two seats to be decided. The candidates
are small business owner Sam Hindi, attorney Catherine
Mahanpour, business owner Patrick Sullivan and incumbent
Herb Perez.
***
Five people had indicated interest in running for the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District board. But
only two led for the vacancy created by Colleen Sullivans
decision not to seek re-election. And one was not even on
the original list. That is Bryan Williams, who lists himself as
an educator but I have not found anyone who knows about
him. Highlands parent Nancy Kohn Hsieh is in the race and
Audrey Ng, the incumbent, is too. This election is especially
important because the district is also asking voters to support
a bond measure in November.
***
Burlingame is losing two experienced and dedicated public ofcials with the announcement that Mayor Terry Nagel
is not seeking re-election and for many of her fans that was a
surprise and disappointment. She has served the city well
these past 12 years. John Root who was appointed to a oneyear position and was not expected to run is a longtime
Burlingame and county school board member. So two seats
are up for grabs and there is no shortage of candidates. They
include Emily Beach, Nirmala Bandrapalli (this is her second run for council), Eric Storey and Donna Colson.
***
Not a surprise but interesting that there will be two Papans
on the ballot. Gina Papan is running for re-election in
Millbrae. The city has eight-year term limits and it is common practice for councilmembers who have served two
terms to wait and bit and run for another term. Gina has
served eight years and will be seeking to rejoin the council.

As China slows, so do American companies

By Stephen Singer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. As
Chinas economy has grown and
skyscrapers sprouted in cities
extending ever westward from the
Pacic coast, Otis Elevator Co.
went along for the ride.
But with China now in a slump
and the value of its currency the
most recent casualty, Otis and other
manufacturing companies staking
much on Asias biggest economy
now face a moment of reckoning.
After saying for years that increased
urbanization would propel growth
in China, parent company United
Technologies Corp., based in
Hartford, cut its expected revenue
and prot for the year, due partly to
the slowdown across the Pacic.
Its tough to get this bad news
out, Greg Hayes, chief executive
of United Technologies, said in a
call with investor analysts July 21
when second-quarter prot and revenue results were released. The
slowdown in China is worse than
what we had expected.

Executives at Otis, based in

Farmington, Connecticut, declined
to comment for this article.
Construction in China in recent
years was dramatic, with cranes
everywhere, driven by national
pride demanding ever-taller skyscrapers, said Siva Yam, president
of the United States of AmericaChina Chamber of Commerce. The
result, he said, was price speculation for land that could not be sustained, particularly as growth
slowed.
For Otis, the fall has been steep
and embarrassing.
Otis was founded in 1853,
installed its rst elevator in
Shanghai in 1900, has six factories
that make elevators and escalators
for markets in China and elsewhere,
and operates engineering research
and development centers in two
Chinese cities.
Sales have slowed this year over
2014, falling 7.5 percent in the rst
six months of the year compared
with the same period in 2014. In
contrast, revenue had jumped 4 percent, to about $13 billion, last year

over 2013.
Other manufacturers relying on
construction also report a tougher
reception in China. Caterpillar cut
its revenue forecast for the year.
Lower construction-related sales in
China and Brazil are among the
problems. Elevator and escalator
manufacturer Schindler said Aug.
14 it expects limited strength in the
global market this year, with China
at most expected to achieve minimal growth in 2015.
Most companies doubled down
on China, thinking it was going to
be a huge market for them, and now
theyre stuck, said Lawrence T. De
Maria, an analyst at William Blair
& Co. nancial services who follows Caterpillar.
More than 60 percent of companies that belong to the American
Chamber of Commerce in China
reported increased revenue in China
last year, but down from 71 percent
in 2013 and 2012; 42 percent
reported increased prot margins in
2014, down from 48 percent in
2013. And 31 percent said they had
no plans to increase investment in

China this year, the most since the

recession year 2009.
Growth is clearly slowing in
China, said John Frisbie, president
of the U.S.-China Business Council.
Companies are seeing a slowdown
in their revenue growth.
For Otis, rising competition, particularly for the lucrative repair and
maintenance business, also is
undermining its Chinese market.
Just this May, Hayes told investor
analysts that Otis maintains and
repairs 1.9 million elevators worldwide, creating a phenomenal
stream of income and making Otis
the jewel of the UTC portfolio.
But European elevator manufacturers are coming on strong in
China, followed by Japanese and
Korean competitors, said Lee Gray,
who studies elevators and escalators
as an architectural historian at the
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte. Rivals have learned from
Otis, which became a household
name by aggressively marketing
itself and absorbing competitors in
the 19th century.
Where in the early 20th century

Otis was making signicant inroads

in Europe, in this century its the
reverse, Gray said.
The competition and other factors
are taking a toll. Hayes told analysts
last month that in the past 10 or 15
years, weve seen a continued erosion of Otis market share in the
pursuit of wider prot margins.
The decline in Otis market share
in China, to about 15 percent from 25
percent a decade ago is shocking,
particularly because until recently
China represented as much as 75 percent to 80 percent of all new global
elevator sales, Nicholas Heymann, an
analyst at William Blair & Co., said
in a July 21 note to clients.
Often this type of extended gradual erosion of a companys business
franchises takes more than cost
reduction to x, he said.
The competition was brought into
focus in late July in the central city
of Jingzhou when a platform at the
top of a shopping mall escalator not
made by Otis collapsed, killing a
woman and raising questions about
Chinas rapid growth at the expense
of product safety and quality.

Key factors to consider on interest-only mortgages

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dont call it a comeback.

Interest-only mortgages got a bad
reputation in the aftermath of the
housing bust, but theyve managed
to stick around as an option for
homebuyers who can meet stricter
lending guidelines enacted by the
government in recent years.
The loans can lower monthly
mortgage payments by letting borrowers put off paying the principal
on their loan for several years.
When the interest-only period ends,
the borrowers monthly payment
spikes as they begin to pay a combination of principal and interest until
the loan is paid off.

That monthly payment shock,

often accompanied by a higher
interest rate on adjustable-rate interest-only loans, is what got many
borrowers in trouble a decade ago.
One reason is that many of those
borrowers qualified for their loans
on the basis of their ability to repay
the lower, interest-only payment.
When their monthly payment reset
higher, many couldnt keep up.
Thats no longer the case. Now
lenders are required to determine
whether borrowers qualify for any
interest-only loans, or other
adjustable-rate mortgages, based on
whether they can afford to make the
eventual bigger monthly payments
that await them once the initial
interest-only period ends.

As a result, such interest-only

loans now make up only about 0.2
percent of all adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, which account for
about 4 percent of all home loans
for purchase and refinancing,
according to data from CoreLogic.
Use of interest-only mortgages
peaked 10 years ago at the height of
the housing bubble at around 10
percent of all ARMs.
The big difference here is interest-only loans are back to being the
niche product that they traditionally
had been, said Greg McBride,
chief
financial
analyst
at
Bankrate.com. The go-go days of
the housing boom were the exception.
Still, rising home prices can make

interest-only loans a tempting

option for borrowers who are interested in a lower mortgage payment
and can qualify for such a loan
under todays stricter guidelines.
At least one lender is looking to
expand access to interest-only loans
to a broader range of homebuyers,
not just the affluent buyers who typically take advantage of such loans.
Last month, United Wholesale
Mortgage began making interestonly home loans through its network of mortgage brokers. The loan
program covers mortgages as low as
$250,000. Thats just above the U.S.
median home price of $236,400, but
well below the recent median price
in Southern California of $426,000.
Even with todays stricter guide-

lines aimed at ensuring borrowers

can handle interest-only loans, they
carry potential financial risks. Here
are some things to consider when
weighing whether such a loan is
right for you:
Interest-only mortgages can come
with a fixed or variable interest rate
and an initial period when the borrower only pays interest on the loan.
Thats usually three, five, seven or
10 years.
After the interest-only period, the
monthly payment can increase
sharply as the borrower begins to
also pay down the principal on their
loan.
In addition, the borrower is left
with 20 years to pay off the balance
of the loan.

Casey Anthony prosecutor: No crime committed on Ashley Madison

By Mike Schneider
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. The prosecutor who gained national attention

as a key player in the unsuccessful
murder prosecution of Casey
Anthony said Sunday that he committed no crime and never followed
through with an affair on the cheating website, Ashley Madison.
Jeff Ashton, the State Attorney for
Orange and Osceola counties in
central Florida, said he wouldnt
resign his post.
Ashton choked up several times

during a news
conference
while publicly
apologizing to
his wife, their
three children
and his four
adult children
from previous
marriages. He
Jeff Ashton
wouldnt say
what impact the revelation has had
on his marriage.
While I indulged my curiosity
about the site, it never went beyond
that, Ashton said. They were

incredibly stupid choices. I ask the

publics forgiveness for my shortcomings but those shortcomings have
had absolutely no impact on the performance of my official duties.
Ashton said he signed up for the
site two years ago because he was
curious. But when asked why he
never used it to cheat, he said he just
couldnt go through with it.
He used his personal lap top on an
office wireless network that is available to anyone who is at the courthouse complex in downtown
Orlando, Ashton said.
The veteran prosecutor was at the

center of the case against Anthony,

who was acquitted in 2011 of the
murder of her 2-year-old daughter
three years earlier. Back in 1987,
Ashton was the first prosecutor in the
nation to introduce DNA-based evidence in a case. Ashton first joined
the State Attorneys Office in 1981.
The prosecutor isnt the only
Florida elected official who has had
to acknowledge using Ashley
Madison. Last Friday, state Rep.
Ritch Workman said in a statement
that he had clicked on the site three
years ago when he was single.
Workman said he never met anyone

from the site.

Ashton called the news conference after the East Orlando Post
online newsletter revealed that he
had been on Ashley Madison.
Ashton said he regretted giving
ammunition to those who oppose
him and said he hopes his three
decades of service outweighs his
transgression.
Today, Im not very proud of
myself, Ashton said. The post
may have been political motivated
but they had every right to do it. I
did something incredibly stupid and
I should have been called on it.

Giants drop four-game series in Pittsburgh

By Will Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH Andrew McCutchen hit

his 19th homer and Pedro Alvarez made up for
some shaky defense by adding his 20th of
the season as the Pittsburgh Pirates held off
the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Sunday
night.
Francisco Liriano (9-6) gave up two
unearned runs and struck out five in 5 1/3
eventful innings to win his fifth straight
decision. The Pirates are 10-0 in Lirianos
last 10 starts dating back to June 26.
Alvarez committed a pair of errors that led

directly to both San

Francisco runs but atoned
with a solo shot in the
seventh
that
gave
Pittsburgh some breathing room.
Mark
Melancon worked a perfect ninth for his major
league-leading 39th save.
Matt Duffy had three
Ryan
hits for the Giants. Ryan
Vogelsong
Vogelsong (9-9) failed to
make it out of the fourth inning as San
Francisco finished 2-5 on a seven-game
road trip.

The Pirates remained within 3 1/2 games of

St. Louis in the hotly contested NL Central
after beating the Giants for the sixth time in
seven tries. While Pittsburgh was hardly
crisp committing three errors and allowing the Giants to hang around by leaving 10
men on base it still didnt matter.
Vogelsong spent six largely forgettable
seasons with the Pirates from 2001-06 and
PNC Park continues to give him trouble. He
came in 6-13 with a 6.06 ERA at his old
home, numbers that didnt improve during
another rocky outing. Struggling with the
command didnt help. The Pirates touched
Vogelsong for three runs in the first thanks

to a bases-loaded walk to Jung Ho Kang, an

RBI-single by Neil Walker and a sacrifice fly
by Pedro Alvarez.
It could have been worse, but Pittsburgh
which left no runners on base in a 3-2
walkoff win on Saturday couldnt convert
numerous chances to put the Giants away.
The Pirates stranded at least one man in each
of the first five innings, though Vogelsong
left with one out in the third after needing 77
pitches to retire 10 batters.
Liriano worked in and out of trouble until
the fifth when Alvarezs spotty defense

Iran coach says visa hassles nothing to do with soccer

By John Duerden

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Iran coach

Carlos Queiroz says the frustrations faced
by the tiny Pacific island of Guam in
obtaining visas to travel to Tehran for a
World Cup qualifier next month give just a
glimpse of the problems long faced by his
team in negotiating international soccer.
Iran, Asias top-ranked soccer team, has
been dealing with the effects of American-

led sanctions for years.

Those sanctions may
eventually be eased
under a United National
Resolution passed in
July, but Queiroz says
there is no end in sight
to the complications
involved with being in
Carlos Queiroz charge of Irans soccer
team.
As well as the absence of some western

embassies in Tehran, the Iranian Football

Federation has struggled to gain access to
international funds, hold overseas training
camps and play warm up matches.
Iran also has visa problems ahead of its
Nov. 17 World Cup qualifier in Guam.
Guam is an unincorporated U.S. territory
and entry requirements are the same as for
any other U.S. destination. However, in a bid
to boost tourism, the U.S. federal government has implemented a Guam-only visawaiver program for most Asian countries.

The situation is very complex because

Guam play under the umbrella of the United
States, but this is football, Queiroz told
The Associated Press. It is very difficult for
us to find a way to get visas for our players
because Guam demands the list 60 days in
advance.
Not only that, all the players must go the
American Embassy but there is none in
Iran, he added. So the question is: how can

NEW YORK Jorge Posada, the fiery one of the Yankees
Core Four from their most recent dynasty, had his No. 20
retired and a plaque dedicated in Monument Park prior to
Saturdays game to honor his 17-year career all in navy pinstripes in which he was a key part of four World Series titles.
Manager Joe Torres No. 6 was retired last year, center fielder Bernie Williams No. 51 was hung up in May. Riveras number was retired in 2013, and Tino Martinez and Paul ONeill
have also been given plaques. All thats left is a big bash for

Love wins Wyndham; Tiger struggles in final round

By Joedy McCreary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO, N.C. Davis Love III

won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday
to become the third-oldest winner in PGA
Tour history, while Tiger Woods season came
to an abrupt end.
The 51-year-old Love closed with a 6-under
64 for a one-stroke victory over Jason Gore.
The dominant storyline all week at
Sedgefield Country Club was the mere presence of Woods, who needed a win to earn a
spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs opener next
week.
He was poised to challenge Sunday, starting just two strokes off the lead. But he only
had one birdie during his first 10 holes, dropping way off the pace with a triple bogey on
the par-4 11th. Woods shot a 70, finished four
strokes back and ended at No. 178 in the
standings, well outside the top 125.
Love who started at No. 186 played
himself into The Barclays by earning 500
FedEx Cup points and $972,000 in prize
money. At 51 years, 4 months, 10 days, Love
trails only Sam Snead and Art Wall on the
tours age list. Snead won the last of his
eighth Greensboro titles in 1965 at 52 years,
10 months, 8 days, and Wall took the 1975
Greater Milwaukee Open at 51 years, 7
months, 10 days.
Love has 21 career victories, three in
Greensboro. His previous two wins came
across town at Forest Oaks Country Club in

IRAN
Continued from page 11
I find a way to release players from their club
duties to spend three or four days in a foreign
country to get the visas? We are in trouble.
Queiroz, who took Portugal to the 2010
World Cup and Iran to Brazil 2014, wants the
Asian Football Confederation to step in and
find a resolution to the problem.
The AFC should come across and, once
they accept Guam to play in this competition, they must be clear with the rules, the
Portuguese coach said. Guam must find a
way not to force the Iranian players to spend
three or four days to get a visa in a period
when the clubs dont release the players so
this is a very difficult situation for us.
If no other solution presents itself,
Queiroz, a former coach of Real Madrid, is
ready to use what should be training time
before an October qualifier against Oman to
secure the visas.
This is what we have at the moment.

1992 and 2006, and he

had just one win since
then at the 2008
Childrens
Miracle
Network
Classic
in
Florida.
Love finished at 17under 263.
Gore, the third-round
Davis Love III leader, shot a 69. Scott
Brown
(68),
Charl
Schwartzel (66) and Paul Casey (67) were two
strokes behind Love.
Love, who was four strokes back after three
rounds, started strong with four birdies and an
eagle on Nos. 2-6. He moved to 17 under with
an eagle on the par-5 15th the first of his
career during a competitive round on that
hole.
He closed with three straight pars, walked
off the 18th green with a two-stroke lead over
Brown and Gore, and headed to the range to
rest for a possible playoff.
Brown pulled within one stroke of Love
with a birdie on 15, and Gore made things
even more interesting with an eagle on that
hole.
Neither got any closer.
Brown hit his approach on the 18th to
about 60 feet, left his putt about 10 feet short
and three-putted for bogey. Gore needed to
make a 50-foot birdie putt on 18 to force a
playoff, but he left it about a foot short to
wrap up the victory for Love.
There was quite a crowd near the top of the

leaderboard for a while. Midway through the

afternoon, five players shared the lead at 15
under.
None of them was Woods.
Chasing his first victory since 2013, he
opened with six straight pars, including one
on the easiest hole on the course the par-5
fifth, which he birdied in each of the first
three rounds.
Woods sent his tee shot on the par-3 seventh into the huge gallery that had been waiting for him to reel off some birdies and make
his move, then two-putted for his first bogey.
And when he made the turn, he was three
strokes behind co-leaders Gore and Brown
his playing partner.
Brown, who had a hole-in-one on the par-3
third, joined Love at 17 under with a birdie on
11 the same hole that pretty much sank
Woods.
Woods chip-and-run on the 11th ran all the
way off the green. He couldnt keep his ensuing chip on the green and wound up three-putting for triple bogey. Not even three straight
birdies on Nos. 13-15 could help him recover.
Woods was far from the only player who
needed to play well at Sedgefield to advance to
next week. Defending champion Camilo
Villegas finished at 10 under good enough
to move him from No. 129 to No. 123 and put
him in The Barclays.
But Scott Langley, who arrived at No. 126
on the points list, dropped a spot after
bogeys on four of his final six holes.

Instead of preparing for the game with Oman

we will instead have to go to Turkey or the
(United Arab Emirates) instead and go to get
the visas to play against Guam which is a
bizarre situation.
Guam has similarly complained of its
problems obtaining the proper documentation to enter Iran for its Sep. 3 qualifier
despite, according to the Guam Football
Association, starting the visa application
process in June.
Any visa or logistical matters are being
handled by my executive and president
Richard Lai and they are capable of dealing
with it, Guam coach Gary White told
Associated Press. As far as Im concerned,
we are playing in Iran on September 3 until
told otherwise. My focus is on the team and
the preparation of the team. We are excited
and motivated and are looking forward to
what should be a great test.
Guam, under its English coach, has won
both games so far in the second round of qualification and sits on top of its group.
The island of just 170,000 people has
climbed to 146 in FIFAs world rankings and is
one of Asias most improved teams, but playing Iran is as testing off the field as on.

DeChambeau
of Clovis wins
U.S. Amateur
By Tim Cronin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. SMU senior

Bryson DeChambeau won the U.S. Amateur
on Sunday to become the fifth player to win
the tournament and NCAA individual title in
the same year.
DeChambeau, from Clovis, California,
beat Virginia junior
Derek Bard of New
Hartford, New York, 7 and
6 in the 36-hole final at
Olympia Fields.
Jack Nicklaus (1961),
Phil Mickelson (1990),
Tiger Woods (1996) and
Ryan Moore (2004) are
the only other players to
Bryson
sweep the NCAA and
DeChambreau Amateur titles in a season.
I cant believe what I just did, DeChambeau
said. Im in golf history. I dont understand it
yet. Its an honor to be in that field.
It was the widest margin in a title match
since Byeong-Hun Ans 7-and-5 victory over
Ben Martin in 2009.
I didnt make anything and he made all the
putts he had to, Bard said.
Bard didnt make a birdie after the sixth
hole of the morning round, while
DeChambeau had nine birdies in the 30 holes
and was 20 under in six matches.
DeChambeau had a 2-up lead after the morning round. He lost the 19th hole after snaphooking his drive and making a bogey 6.
I thought, Keep pressing the pedal to
the metal now, play Bryson golf,
DeChambeau said.
DeChambeau won the next three holes with
birdies and seven of nine holes.
A par-saving 20-footer on the 25th hole of
the match, the par-3 seventh, allowed
DeChambeau to salvage a halve after Bard had
already made par.
He didnt have the same step,
DeChambeau said about Bard after the parsaving putt. I just made everything.
Even a caddie switch didnt bother
DeChambeau. Regular caddie Mike Schy complained of blisters and plantar fasciitis, so
was replaced for the afternoon round by
Brooke Price, a former teammate at SMU.
He was positive, encouraging the whole
time, DeChambeau said.
Bard believed the turning point was
DeChambeaus chip-in for a birdie on the
eighth hole in the morning, shortly after a
one-hour thunderstorm delay.

first-place votes in a preseason poll.
In 2013, Alabama, which had won
two straight championships,

Compton stays straight, again leads box office

Sunday.

much buzzed-about hit, dominated
over the late August releases that

claims of Dr. Dres abuse of
women.
In a statement Friday, the rapper

to ensure proper care for their loved family

member when they need to hire a dog walker or pet sitter. We urge local residents to
hold pet care professionals to high standards. Someone walking dogs should tell
clients exactly where they are walking them.
Someone boarding dogs should have cameras on site that allow clients to view their
animals remotely and see whats happening
on the property and they should allow you
to see all areas pets can access.Pet owners
should ask the pet care professional if they
know pet CPR, where they received their
dog handling training and what kinds of dog
behavior courses or seminars theyve attended. Owners should know how the dog sitter

they are considering corrects unwanted

behaviors and know about their training
philosophies in general, and be comfortable
with the answers before entrusting a pet in
their care. If your dog is usually comfortable
around strangers but reacts negatively to a
dog walker or pet sitter you are considering,
pay attention and trust your gut.

decent, her parents fled during the
communist revolution and it was as
a 22-year-old living in London that
she met her husband who was
enlisted in the U.S. Air Force.
By 1961 they ended up in
Burlingame where they raised their
three children. From the beginning,
Sky said she wanted each child to
grow up learning how to care for
both a cat and a dog.
It was to teach them responsibility. And all of my family loves animals. I myself, just find a lot of joy
having a cat purring in my lap or
sleeping at my feet or meeting me at
the door, Sky said. Now that Im
older, I dont drive anymore, my

daughters at work and Im home

alone most of the day. [The cats]
keep me busy. They give me the
responsibility of taking care of
something instead of just sitting and
vegetating. It forces me to get up in
the morning.
Sky said shes long been a supporter of the PHS and is grateful for
the nonprofits work that saved
Jennys life. Even after being introduced at the Burlingame Center for
Compassion, Sky said she had to
wait a week until she could bring
Jenny home due to the cats ongoing
medical treatment. Ultimately, the
PHS waived the adoption fee and
provided a free follow up appointment with a veterinarian, Sky said.

PHS spokesman Scott Delucchi

said he and Sky have become email
pals since she adopted Jenny. In a
recent exchange, Delucchi said seeing photos of the pair brightened his
day.
We have this wonderful opportunity to foster second chances for
animals and connect great, deserving pets with people we know they
will impact immeasurably. We do
this daily multiple times but
there are certain adoptions that really get to us and this was one of
them, Delucchi wrote in an email.
We all want to be like Anastasia
when we are in our 90s! We cant be
happier for her and for Jenny. If all
our available cats and dogs could

find homes half as good as

Anastasias, wed be lucky and so
would our animals.
In a home filled with a lifetime of
photographs, mementos from across
the world and now Jenny, Sky said
shes happy to have a new companion.
Being old, its nice to have a
creature that loves you and doesnt
demand anything except to be taken
care of, Sky said. So I figure, we
have a couple years together.
Maybe more, maybe less; thats up

have begun to rebound thanks to a

thriving local economy, as officials
passed a $40 million budget in June.
Under reassessment of the property values during the sale, the city
stands to receive increased annual
payments from property taxes as
well, said Ruane.
Tanforan is one of the citys
largest employers, and sources of
revenue, contributing heavily to the
$8.1 million officials have budgeted
to receive in sales tax proceeds this
fiscal year.
There are 108 stores and services
in the two-story shopping center,
located at 1150 El Camino Real,
between Highway 101 and
Interstate 280.
The location of the shopping center is one of the reasons the
Australian investment company felt
comfortable in purchasing it from
Breevast, an international commer-

cial real estate company.

Were delighted to have been
able to secure an asset of Tanforans
quality for our client and build on
our real estate presence in the
United States and in this Northern
California market, said Matthew
Strotton, head of U.S. fund and
investments for QIC in a prepared
statement.
The company holds billions of
dollars worth of investments for
clients across the globe.
YouTube, owned by Google, is
the largest sole employer in San
Bruno, offering 800 jobs to workers
last year, many of who are spread
across the floors of the large office
buildings on Cherry Avenue now
owned by the company.
The two buildings sit on 8.5 acres
of land in the Bayhill Office Park,
nestled between Interstates 280 and
380 and just west of El Camino

Real. Google had leased the entirety of both buildings through 2022,
according to a press release from
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.,
which brokered the deal.
The three- and six-story buildings
offer a variety of exclusive amenities which are commonly associated
with high-tech office culture, such
full-service cafeterias, lounge areas,
a fitness center, locker room, and a
conference room for corporate
events.
There is also an immersion
room which simulates a 360degree video stream, to serve the
workers and clients of the company
which was integral in broadening
access to streaming video across the
Internet.
But as YouTube sets its roots in
San Bruno, and the city becomes a
more desirable location for big
businesses, Ruane noted the value

of maintaining the citys quality of

life, especially with regards to
affordable housing.
Ruane said as the price of housing
locally continues to climb, driven
higher in part due to the desire of
technology companies to set up
shop along the Peninsula, it
becomes an obligation of officials
to work toward ensuring residents
can afford the cost of living.
Affordable housing has to be
worked on very, very hard, Ruane
said.
Despite the challenges associated
with becoming a target of corporate
investment, Ruane said there is an
overall benefit for the city.
This is very good for San
Bruno, he said.

CENTER
Continued from page 1
intended to offer 35,700 square feet of
space for activities and gatherings, at the
site of the current recreation center near
Washington Park, which officials claim
is outdated and is due to be replaced.
The proposed look of the new project
did not appeal unanimously across the
council though.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg said
he felt the proposed designs were uninspired, and encouraged the architect to
take a more creative approach.
Brownrigg suggested the building
styles looked dull, which is likley a
byproduct of crowdsourcing design suggestions.
When you have a bunch of people it
always comes down to the lowest common denominator. You cant expect
something really interesting to come out
of the democratic process he said. I
just find this boring.
He said the building in many ways
looked too similar to some school buildings in Burlingame, and suggested the
planners draw inspiration from the
architecture found on Burlingame
Avenue for a more creative and interest-

BILL
Continued from page 1
their school community, officials claim.
Alisa MacAvoy, vice president of the
Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees, expressed
support for the intent of Hills bill.
Im very pleased Senator Hill has
moved forward with this legislation,
she said. My preference would be that
there is no cap on reserves, but this is a
really good move in the right direction.
MacAvoy was one of a group of local
elected officials who joined a rally held
by the California School Boards
Association in San Francisco last month
opposing the reserve cap being agreed
on during the most recent state budget.
Hill had hoped Gov. Jerry Brown
would remove the cap entirely during
the most recent round of budget negotiations, according to a prepared statement, but he considers nearly tripling
the size of the existing cap as a compromise.
Legislation requiring the cap went
into place last year as a trailer bill,
Senate Bill 858, to the state budget, and
education advocates have been outspoken in their disdain for it ever since.
Hill, in a prepared statement, advocated for his bill to gather wide support.
This legislative fix is necessary
because of a late addition to last years
budget package undermined local control and fiscal prudence by discouraging
districts from maintaining adequate sav-

ing vision.
Mayor Terry Nagel echoed those sentiments, and said the building struck too
strong a resemblance to Burlingame
High School for her preference and suggested she might enjoy a more innovative look as well.
Maybe we could do something a little bit more fun, she said. Some pizzazz is missing.
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz disagreed
though, and said the proposed style
agreed with his architectural preference.
I do like what we ended up with, he
said. I think it fits the city.
Vice Mayor Anne Keighran noted when
trying to create a vision drawn from
public input, frequently it is best to take
a measured first step, then work toward
eventually integrating more creative or
unique characteristics.
The initial step will be on the safer
side because we do want to please the
broader public, she said.
But Keighran noted there needs to be
more work done to give the building a
distinctive appeal.
Its not magical yet, she said.
Merkes agreed, and said the initial
renderings are conservative by design,
but there is intent spruce up the look of
the project in the future.
We are playing it safe, she said.
There are other concerns regarding the

center which span beyond how it may

look though, as officials also discussed
how the building may be financed for
construction.
The center is slated to offer residents a
variety of services such as a 4,000
square-foot multipurpose room, enrichment and education classes for adults, a
meeting room, active lounge, maker
space for students and teens, a visual
and fine arts lab, dance studio and other
opportunities for community gatherings.
But there is not sufficient money in
the citys general fund to build the project, so officials have bandied the possibility of floating a tax measure to voters
which would finance the construction
cost, along with a variety of other
desired community amenities such as a
park at the Bayfront, and other infrastructure improvements.
City Manager Lisa Goldman said the
city is still in its initial phases of discussing whether to move forward with
the project, and identifying a source of
revenue which may be spent to build it.
Nagel noted though that as officials
put their efforts into considering the
look and design of the project, there is a
pending need to identify how the city
can afford to build it.
We havent figured out how to pay
for this yet, she said.

ings to protect classroom instruction and

jobs during economic downturns, Hill
said.
Despite her wishes that local school
districts would have uninhibited control
of their finances, MacAvoy said she
believes Hills willingness to keep a
raised cap in place may make the bill
more palatable and give it a broader
appeal to politicians from both parties.
It seems like something that hopefully
a variety of different perspectives will
be able to get behind, she said.
Bipartisan support already exists for
the bill, as it is co-authored by Assembly
Minority Leader Kristin Olsen, RModesto.
Education advocates and other organizations such as the California School
Boards Association, the California State
Parent-Teacher Association, League of
Women Voters and more have publicly
expressed support for the bill as well.
Trudy Schafer, a senior director with
the League of Women Voters, said in a
prepared statement that the bill works to
give officials a greater degree of necessary autonomy in controlling their local
finances.
Allowing districts to keep adequate
reserves protects classroom programs
and services and local education jobs.
Marc Friedman, president of the San
Mateo Union High School District
Board of Trustees, echoed those sentiments.
All our local school districts do a
really good job of managing their
resources, he said. And this reserve
cap has threatened our ability to do the
good job that districts in this county

have been doing.

The bill has been referred to the
Assembly Rules Committee, which will
consider referring it to the Assembly
Education Committee for a hearing in
the final weeks of this years legislative
session which ends Sept. 11, according
to a press release from Hills office.
During the depths of the Great
Recession, MacAvoy said the Redwood
City Elementary School District relied
heavily on its reserves to withstand the
substantial financial challenges it faced.
And had there been a similar cap in
place at the time of the downturn, there
is no telling what officials might have
had to do to survive, she said.
Though funding for schools has
improved under the economic rebound
in recent years, MacAvoy said she still
believes officials know how to best
manage their revenue, and should be
allowed to exercise that control to the
fullest extent.
I think the important message is that
local school districts ought to be making
these decision with their local communities, she said. Im pleased with the
direction we are moving, because this
will give much more flexibility.
Friedman said he is hopeful the bill
will eventually make its way to Browns
desk, and ultimately gain his approval,
as it would allow those most knowledgeable about local school finances to
exercise their expertise.
If this passes, we will be able to do
the excellent job I feel we do in managing our reserves, and making sure there
is appropriate funding for all students,
this year and in the future.

The Solution: The DRT Method, (Disc Restoration Therapy)

The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional
Support, Exercise Rehabilitation.
The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy

Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.
