Hillsdale station nears move

San Mateo secures another $65M toward Caltrain grade separation project
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Commuters catching Caltrain at

the Hillsdale station could soon be
hopping aboard further north as
San Mateo has officially secured
the vast majority of its funding for
a $165.3 million grade separation

and station relocation project.

Traversing the tracks should
become safer and easier as the
project includes raising the railroad above street level at three key
intersections a long-planned
improvement near Bay Meadows,
one of the states largest transitoriented developments where hun-

dreds of new residents now live.

The San
Mateo
County
Transportation Authority board
agreed Thursday to allocate $65.3
million
in
voter-approved
Measure A transportation sales tax
money toward the project.
Officials tout it could keep traffic
flowing by helping the area pre-

pare for more trains and possible

gate downtimes as an electrified
Caltrain, and potentially highspeed rail, are slated to traverse
the Peninsula corridor.
The project includes new grade
separations at 25th, 28th and 31st
avenues, as well as relocating the
Hillsdale Caltrain station further

north. The new station, which

would also be raised above street
level, will be nestled in between
the tracks somewhere between
28th and 31st avenues.

The City/County Association of Governments is looking for public input on the San Mateo Countywide Transportation Plan, which will explore how to reduce congestion on main thoroughfares such as Highway 101.

In the interest of helping teachers and staff feeling squeezed by

the cost of living, San MateoFoster City Elementary School
District officials are taking on a
discussion of developing affordable workforce housing.
The district Board of Trustees
approached the issue during a
meeting Thursday, Oct. 6, after
years of employees expressing
concerns regarding the affordability crisis.
Though no decision was made

during the most recent meeting,

board Vice President Chelsea
Bonini said she believed discussion of the initiative is merited in
an attempt to preserve and recruit
the most talented workers.
I think that we need to retain
our teachers and that our teachers
cannot afford to live in our community, she said. And if we want
to keep them here, we need to be
proactive.
District officials are in the midst

Preparing for future mobility Recycled water treatment

Countywide Transportation Plan considers 2040
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Whether you drive, walk, bike or

take public transit, chances are
moving around San Mateo County
has changed over the last 15 years.
Between astronomical job growth,
a rise in commuter culture and technological advancements, local
transit officials are seeking to prepare for the next decade.
The City/County Association of
Governments is looking for public input on the San Mateo
Countywide Transportation Plan
a comprehensive document that
aims to create consistent planning
goals through 2040.
Its the second rendition of the

2010 plan that was issued in 2001,

and provides keen insight into
how mobility patterns of those
who live or work in San Mateo
County have changed, said C/CAG
Executive Director Sandy Wong.
Last week, public workshops
were held and input is still being
sought on a draft report that covers
everything from bike paths to
ferry service and transit-oriented
land use policies to ways employers can help.
Obviously
things
have
changed quite a bit in the last 10,
15 years in the transportation
world. Not only the travel patterns
have changed; the economy has
grown a lot, employment in San
Mateo County has grown and the

population has grown steadily

over the years, Wong said. And
technology has grown quite a bit.
So it gives transportation another
opportunity to use technology to
manage traffic that we didnt have
back in 2001.
By 2040, total travel in San
Mateo County is expected to
increase by 22 percent from 2015
levels. Although transit and biking are projected to grow by 67
percent and 64 percent respectively, and the document has chapters
dedicated to each mode, the automobile is predicted to continue
reigning supreme, according to
the draft plan.

One of the largest potable water

users in Half Moon Bay could soon
benefit from the flush of a toilet.
Years in the making, officials on
the coast are getting closer to
designing a recycled water treatment plant to reduce the amount of
potable water being used for landscape irrigation. Instead of discharging millions of gallons of
treated sewage into the ocean
every month, recycled water would
be used to nourish a local golf
course.
The project is a collaboration

between the city of Half Moon

Bay, the Coastside County Water
District and the Sewer Authority
Mid-Coastside, which serves
about 30,000 people from Half
Moon Bay, El Granada, Miramar,
Montara, Moss Beach and
Princeton.
The three agencies agreed to
begin updating a shelved 2010
plan by including the process of
reverse osmosis which up until
recently was considered too costly. Over the coming months, consultants will outline about 25 percent of the design work as the

Redwood City schools seek tax hike

Officials justify parcel tax extension, increase but critic proposes alternatives
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Despite criticism from a stalwart tax

opponent, Redwood City school officials
said an extended and increased parcel tax is
necessary to preserve essential programs in
a district historically strapped for cash.
Voters in the Redwood City Elementary
School District will be asked to approve in
the fall election an $85 parcel tax expected
to generate roughly $1.9 million annually
to be split between the citys 16 traditional
and three charter schools.
The proposed measure, an $18 hike from
the districts existing measure, has drawn
the ire of committed tax critic Jack Hickey,
who claims district officials should seek
more creative forms of financial savings
rather than look to voters for more money.
Alternatively, Superintendent John Baker
said the tax generates an integral source of
revenue for Redwood City schools to spend
toward vital educational services the district
would not otherwise be able to afford.
When you look at other districts parcel
taxes, its the icing on the cake, he said.
But for us it isnt the icing on the cake, it
is part of the cake.
As is the case from the existing measure,
revenue is slated to be divided between each
district school according to enrollment size
and site officials are trusted to allocate the
money to sponsor programs and staff needed to best fit the need of the local students.
District enrollment has declined over the
past decade by about 1,500 students, not
including the nearly 600 students who have
enrolled in the charter schools, said officials. With fewer students comes less money

Woodside man gets prison for
structuring bank transactions
A Woodside man was sentenced Friday to
31 months in prison and ordered to pay a
$10,000 fine for structuring banking transactions to avoid reporting requirements,
federal prosecutors said.
Per Alftin, 52, pleaded guilty June 24 to a
single count of structuring financial transactions to avoid reporting requirements.
According to a plea deal, Alftin admitted
to skimming nearly $1.5 million in cash
from the gross receipts of his business,
Alftin Construction.
Between 2009 and 2012, he structured his
bank transactions to hide those activities,

allocated to the district by the state, making

the tax measure even more necessary to supplement the lost income, said Baker.
But with a shrinking student body across
the district, attributed by officials partially
to the climbing cost of living locally,
Hickey suggested alternatives such as examining the feasibility of consolidating
schools and staff to save money.
They have all this surplus land, they
cant sell it and use it for general purposes,
he said. But they can lease it, and if they
lease it, they can bring in money.
Hickey, a member of the Sequoia
Healthcare District Board of Directors and
Redwood City resident, is a committed tax
opponent and has a long track record of
fighting proposed measures throughout the
county.
Beyond recognizing opportunities for
saving funds, Hickey also claims school
officials have been less than transparent in
their pitching of the tax as merely as extension to voters and not doing enough to
emphasize the cost hike.
He said he has reached out to district officials in an attempt to revise the ballot language, only to have his efforts rebuked.
The Measure U labeling is deceptive. It
doesnt say it is an increase, but it is an
increase, said Hickey. I tried to get them
to change it, but they werent interested.
District officials though believe they
have been adequately forthcoming in sharing the real cost of the tax with voters.
For most people it hasnt been an issue,
said Alisa MacAvoy, the district Board of
Trustees president, of the ballot language.
Should the tax be approved by voters, it
would generate roughly an additional $200
according to prosecutors.
Alfin admitted that he knew banks have an
obligation to report certain cash transactions and he made and effort to prevent
those reports. Alftin must also be under
supervision for a year once he is released
from prison, prosecutors said. He will begin
his sentence on Feb. 2, 2017.

Small quakes strike

Two small earthquakes struck Saturday
morning off the coast of San Mateo County,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
At 6:11 a.m., a magnitude-2.4 earthquake
occurred less than four miles west-northwest
of Broadmoor, in unincorporated San Mateo
County. Less than three minutes later, a
magnitude-1.4 earthquake took place nearby, 3.7 miles west-northwest of Daly City.

per student.
The district has struggled in the past to
pass tax measures, but voters last fall supported a bond to finance construction of
new school facilities. The most recent bond
only addresses a portion of the necessary
work identified by officials, who have suggested another measure to build additional
facilities may be floated in the coming
years.
Parcel taxes can pay toward financing
school operations, while revenue from
bonds may only be used to build more classrooms and school buildings.
District parent Zeke Mead, who has spearheaded the campaign rallying support for
the parcel tax, said he especially appreciates the proposed design allowing site officials to allocate the revenue in the fashion
they see best fit to accommodate the needs
of students.
The genius of the design is you do
what is right for your school and your
neighbors, he said.
Hickey though said he believed the district is funded well enough to serve its students already, and should look to operate in
a more efficient fashion.
There are a lot of people out there who
think the schools dont have enough
money, but Im not one of them, he said.
Considering the budget struggles the district has traditionally faced, MacAvoy said
she believed request for more money is justified.
There is a real need, she said. We have
been underfunded for years.

Boy revived after boat

capsizes near Pier 45
By Olga Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Two children

pulled out of the San Francisco Bay in
critical condition after a recreational
sailboat carrying 30 people capsized
are doing well, and one has been
released from the hospital, officials
said Sunday.
A child who was not breathing when
he was pulled from the water Saturday
and required CPR remains hospitalized
in stable condition, the San Francisco
Fire Department said. A third child and
five adults were also hospitalized.
The 34-foot sailboat named Khaleesi
was carrying 27 adults and three children capsized for unknown reasons
Saturday afternoon about 100 yards off
Pier 45, San Francisco Police Officer
Giselle Talkoff said.

One 5-year-old boy, who was unconscious and not breathing when he was
pulled out of the water, was eventually
revived, said Jonathan Baxter, a public
information officer for San Francisco
Fire Department. Another 5-year-old
boy was also initially listed in critical
condition but was later downgraded to
stable, he added.
All eight people who were hospitalized were expected to survive, Baxter
said.
Video and photographs posted on
social media showed people floating
near a capsized boat while good
Samaritans threw red life vests into the
water. Other photographs shoed
youths and adults barefoot and wrapped
in thick gray blankets on shore after
being rescued. The boat was fully submerged in the water.
Fisherman David Griffiths told the

San Francisco Chronicle he tossed life

jackets to the people in the water. He
was taking off his shoes and getting
ready to jump in when the first rescue
teams arrived, Griffiths said.
Fire Department Assistant Chief
Bob Postel said rescue teams from the
fire and police departments and the
U.S. Coast Guard all rushed to the
scene.
There were lots of rescue boats on
the water because of Fleet Week, so we
were fortunate, he said. We were able
to get everybody out and accounted for
quickly.
Griffiths said it was jarring to see the
boat upend during what had been an
otherwise beautiful day on the water.
Seeing the bottom of it, thats not a
normal thing, he said.
Authorities were investigating the
cause of the accident.

Father: Suspect in officers slaying wanted to shoot police

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. In the

minutes before three Palm Springs
officers were shot, two fatally, the
suspected gunmans father told a
neighbor his son was armed, acting crazy and wanted to shoot
police.
John Felix, 26, was apprehended early Sunday after a lengthy
standoff and will be charged this
week with murder.
Police said Felix emerged wearing soft body armor and carrying
ammunition but no weapon after
police shot a chemical agent into
the home where he had holed up.
A neighbor, Frances Serrano,
told The Associated Press that the
suspects panicked father, Santos
Felix, earlier said his son, an
admitted gang member, had a gun.
My son is inside and were
scared, hes acting crazy, Serrano
said the older Felix told her. When
it was suggested they call the
police he said, Yeah, he already
knows they are coming, and he is
going to shoot them.
Serrano said she went back
inside her house and within min-

utes police cars

arrived and gunfire erupted.
Police said
John Felix suddenly pulled out
a
gun
and
opened fire on
the
officers
who
had
John Felix
responded to a
family disturbance call Saturday
afternoon at the home he shared
with his parents in a quiet neighborhood of single-story ranch
homes this desert resort city.
Palm Springs police Chief
Bryan Reyes identified the slain
officers as Jose Gil Gilbert Vega
and Lesley Zerebny.
Zerebny, 27, had been with the
department for about 18 months
and had recently returned early
from maternity leave after giving
birth to a daughter. Vega, a married
father of eight, was a 35-year veteran who planned to retire in
December. He had been working
overtime Saturday on his scheduled day off.
The wounded officers name was
not released but Reyes said he was

alert, speaking with investigators

and was expected to be released
from a hospital later Sunday.
Police arrested John Felix after
shooting him with non-lethal
rounds when he finally exited
through the back door, unarmed
but wearing body armor and carrying ammo. SWAT officers using
bullhorns had tried through the
night to establish contact with
him, but got no response. He was
taken to a hospital for treatment
of injuries that did not appear to
be life-threatening.
District Attorney Michael
Hestrin said John Felix would be
charged Tuesday with first degree
murder and several other felony
counts.
Prosecutors would decide within
two weeks whether he could face
the death penalty, he said. It wasnt known Sunday if he has an
attorney.
Reyes indicated police have had
previous dealings with the suspect, but he declined to elaborate.
Court records show John Felix
is a gang member who was previously sentenced to four years in
prison in a failed murder plot in

2009. Documents cited by the

Desert Sun newspaper reveal he
was charged with attempted murder
but pleaded down to assault with a
firearm and admitted his gang connection.
Documents also show John
Felix was the subject of a forceful
arrest three years ago at the same
house where Saturdays shootings
occurred.
It had been 54 years since an onduty uniformed police officer was
killed in Palm Springs, a city of
45,000 residents about 100 miles
east of Los Angeles, known for its
desert views, boutique hotels and
golf courses.
In front of police headquarters,
scores of local residents gathered
to leave flowers, balloons and
cards.
Vega had submitted his paperwork to retire at the end of the year
after a long and decorated career,
Reyes said.
Here he is, 35 years in, still
pushing a patrol car for our community to make it better on a
day he wasnt even scheduled to
work, the chief said.
Reyes said Zerebny pressed for-

ward every day to make it better

for everybody else. She and her
husband, a sheriffs deputy, were
new parents to a four-month-old
baby.
To see her laying down with her
eyes open and to witness her husband in full Riverside County
sheriffs uniform ... kiss her on
the forehead for the last time...
its tough, Reyes said.
Palm Springs resident Heidi
Thompson called the killings
vicious and cruel.
These officers are responding
to a domestic call for somebody in
need that they dont even know.
They put their life on the line for
us, the community, Thompson
said. I dont understand it.
The shooting occurred just three
days after a popular Los Angeles
County sheriffs sergeant was shot
and killed in the high desert town
of Lancaster. Sgt. Steve Owen was
answering a burglary when he was
shot.
A paroled robber has been
charged with murder.
Hundreds of residents held a candlelight vigil Saturday night in
his honor.

Gun or stun gun? Different police responses raise questions

By Julie Watson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO When Alfred Olango

pulled out an object from his right pocket
last month and assumed a shooting stance
in a strip mall parking lot in a San Diego
suburb, one officer opened fire with his pistol.
The other officer simultaneously stunned
Olango using his Taser.
Civil rights advocates say the different
response by officers facing the same suspect illustrates a breakdown in police training and communication and shows that
some officers are too quick to turn to deadly
force.
The Sept. 27 shooting death of the 38year-old Ugandan refugee who turned out to
be wielding an electronic cigarette device
came 11 days after another unarmed black

man, 40-year-old Terence Crutcher, died in

Tulsa, Oklahoma after being shot by two
officers also simultaneously firing a gun
and a Taser.
I think when one police officer feels it is
appropriate to use a less lethal weapon like
a Taser, and the other officer feels like the
person has to be killed it suggests a real
divergence in training, said Ezekiel
Edwards, director of the American Civil
Liberty Unions criminal law reform project.
He added: I think it highlights that we
have a serious problem in this country,
which has been seen played out over and
over again with police using lethal force in
circumstances where it is not necessary and
not justified.
Law enforcement experts, however, say
its not that simple because different officers dont necessarily have the same reac-

tions for handling potential threats.

The decisions they make, the experts say,
can be influenced by factors ranging from
what officers see of suspects based on where
they are standing, the extent of their police
experience and information received from
police dispatchers.
Officers increasingly work alone in
patrol cars without partners and the sharp
electric sound made by the Taser when fired
could prompt other officers with guns to
pull the trigger in what is known as a sym-

pathetic firing.
And once an officer chooses to use a Taser
instead of a gun, there often is no time to
switch to a firearm if the dangerous situation escalates quickly, said Tim Dees, a
retired police officer and police trainer who
writes a column for the PoliceOne.com website.
If there is a deadly threat to officers, you
dont want bring in something less lethal,
because by the time you transition you
could be dead, Dees said.

Rescues and worry after Matthew inundates North Carolina

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. When

Hurricane Matthew dumped torrential rains on North Carolina, thousands of people found themselves
suddenly trapped in homes and
cars. Rescuers in Coast Guard helicopters plucked some of them
from rooftops and used military
vehicles to reach others, including a woman who held on to a tree
for three hours after her car was
overrun by flood waters.
In another dramatic rescue, a
woman with her small child
perched on the roof of her car had
to be helped to safety as the waters
rose around them, underscoring
how quickly Matthew wreaked
havoc 100 miles or more inland
after sparing much of the
Southeastern coast the catastrophic damage once feared.
The storm killed more than 500
people in Haiti and at least 18 in
the U.S. nearly half of them in
North Carolina. Most were swept
away by flood waters.
Gov. Pat McCrory said authorities were searching for five people
and feared they may find more victims. The problems were far from

the same places devastated by a
similar deluge from Hurricane
Floyd in 1999.
Hurricane Matthew is off the
map. But it is still with us. And it

Around the nation

is still deadly, McCrory said.

Princeville, a town of 2,000
that disappeared in the waters of
the Tar River during Floyd, was
evacuated Sunday as the river was
expected to rise to 17 feet above
flood stage by late Monday a
level not seen since Floyd.
McCrory expected more evacua-

tions as some rivers were predicted

to crest next Friday.
David Bullocks sister called
him as he bought lottery tickets to
tell him police were knocking on
doors saying they had to go. He
rebuilt his home after the 1999
flood.
If I get flooded again, I cant
take it. I cant go back and take the
expense. If I get flooded again Im
going to say, its yours, Im
gone, Bullock said.
More than a million people in
South Carolina and North
Carolina were without power, and
at least four separate sections of
Interstate 95 the main artery
linking the East Coast from
Florida to Maine were closed in
North Carolina.
The ferocity of the rain caught
people by surprise. Ezekiel
Crowe, 10, escaped the floods in
Fayetteville on Saturday with his
parents and seven brothers and
sisters when a police boat plucked
them from an apartment as the
waters rose.
I was scared. I was scared. And I
thought, I thought the world was
going to end. But it didnt, he
said.

In Wilson County, rescuers were

called when a 63-year-old woman
didnt make it home from work.
They heard her cries for help while
riding on top of a Humvee, and
when they couldnt get her with a
rope, a National Guard soldier
swam to her, staying until a rescue
boat
arrived,
Emergency
Management Director Gordon
Deno, said.
Even animals had to be saved.
WRAL-TV showed a dog swimming around floodwaters Saturday.
McCrory said he and his wife were
riveted by the coverage and
relieved to find out from the Coast
Guard that the dog managed to get
into a tree and rescue it.
The rainfall totals were staggering: Nearly 15 inches in
Fayetteville and 8 inches in
Raleigh. McCrory warned that
cities along rivers in eastern
North Carolina needed to be prepared for days of flooding. The
Lumber River in Lumberton was 4
feet above its record level Sunday
afternoon and was forecast to
remain there for at least five days.
Shortly before daybreak, the
hurricane was downgraded to a
post-tropical cyclone.

Bail practices in Texas biggest county under scrutiny

Pope taps Chicago, Indianapolis

in first U.S. cardinal picks

By Juan A. Lozano

CHICAGO Pope Francis looked to the American

Midwest when picking his first U.S. cardinals.
The Vatican announced Sunday that Chicago Archbishop
Blase Cupich and Archbishop Joseph Tobin of
Indianapolis, Indiana, will become cardinals in a Rome ceremony Nov. 19. Francis also picked Bishop Kevin Farrell
for the honor. Farrell has led the Diocese of Dallas, but is
leaving for a prominent Vatican post.
The three men are moderates who follow Francis emphasis on mercy over rules.
Tobin drew national attention this year for rejecting a
request from Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for the church to stop
settling Syrian refugees in the state. Pence is the
Republican nominee for vice president and running mate of
Donald Trump, who has proposed deporting illegal immigrants and banning entry of Muslims from other countries.

HOUSTON For university student

Bryan Sweeney, the three days he
spent at the Harris County Jail in
Houston before he could pay his
$10,000 bail for two misdemeanor
charges, including for driving with a
suspended license, cost him a chance
to register for classes and graduate this
summer. But Sweeney, an accounting
major at Texas Southern University,
said hes lucky, as others in a similar
situation might never have been able
to pay.
Its pretty mentally difficult to
fight a misdemeanor from inside of
jail, said Sweeney, 27, who described
the tough choice many poor defendants face. I can get out and all I got
to do is say, Im guilty, or I can sit in
jail, sacrifice my freedoms and fight a
misdemeanor case for the next six
months that I cant afford, he said.
Criminal justice reform advocates

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

say U.S. bail systems unfairly keep

low-income defendants many of
whom are minorities arrested for nonviolent crimes in jail for too long,
which not only leads to overcrowding
but can affect the outcome of their
cases. In Harris County, the nations
third most populous, local officials
say they are aware of the problems and
recently implemented a $5.3 million
plan, including a $2 million grant
from the MacArthur Foundation, to
jumpstart reforms.
Low-level, nonviolent offenders
should not be rotting in jail waiting
for a trial. Thats just wrong, Harris
County District Attorney Devon
Anderson said.
However, some advocates are skeptical. They say previously discussed
reforms have never come to fruition
and they are now focusing on litigation as the best way to address the
problem.

their case, many of them due to their
inability to post bail, according to a
July study by the University of
Pennsylvania Law School. The study
also found that misdemeanor defendants who remained jailed pretrial were
25 percent more likely to plead guilty.
County data shows that of the 20 percent of pretrial defendants charged
with low-level, non-violent crimes
like drug possession and theft, 51 percent are African-American and 21 percent are Hispanic.
Among the initiatives Harris County
is working to implement is a new pretrial risk assessment tool judges will
use in determining bail decisions. An
algorithm helps identify if a person is
at risk of committing a new crime or
failing to return to court if released on
bail. The system, which judges will
start using later this month, is intended to ensure low-risk defendants are
diverted from the system as early as
possible.

Poll: Half of black youth face job discrimination

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Qymana
Botts saw white colleagues with
the same amount of experience
getting promoted to cashier ahead
of her at the Indiana discount store
where she worked. When she asked
her supervisors why, they told her
she didnt project the image that
they wanted from their cashiers:
straight hair not her natural
Afro and more makeup.
When it came time for promotions and raises and things like
that, I was told I need to fit into a
more European kind of appearance, Botts said of her 2010
experience. They wanted me to
straighten my hair, but I wasnt
willing to do that.
Botts, 25, is not alone.
Almost half of young AfricanAmericans say theyve experienced racial discrimination while
looking for a job and while on the
job, and one-third of young

women of all races and ethnicities

say theyve faced employmentrelated gender discrimination.
This information comes from a
GenForward survey of young
adults conducted by the Black
Youth Project at the University of
Chicago with The Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research. The first-of-itskind poll pays special attention to
the voices of young adults of
color, highlighting how race and
ethnicity shape the opinions of
the countrys most diverse generation.
The poll, taken in September,
showed that 48 percent of blacks
age 18-30 say theyve experienced discrimination while looking for a job or at work, which was
higher than all other races and ethnicities. About one-third of AsianAmericans and Latinos also said
they experienced discrimination
at work or while looking for a job.
Just 10 percent of whites say

they experienced employmentrelated racism.

Joy Holloway, 24, of Durham,
North Carolina, said she clearly
has seen racism during job interviews. Holloway, who is biracial
and identifies as black, said she
usually does well getting through
the application phase and the
phone interview phase.
I can get called in for an interview, and everything will be perfect but as soon as they see me, I
can see it in their face: Oh, no,
she isnt who I thought she was.
And then I never get a call back,
Holloway said.
On top of facing discrimination,
young blacks are more likely to
think their race has made it more
difficult to get ahead economically.
Fifty-four percent say being
black makes it harder, the highest
among those polled. Thirty-nine
percent of Asian-Americans and
34 percent of Latinos say their

race or ethnicity has made life

harder.
Young whites are the only group
more likely to say their race has
made life easier at 31 percent. But
more than half, or 53 percent, say
their race has made no difference.
Still, most young people across
racial and ethnic lines say whites
in general have at least some
advantage getting ahead economically.
According to the Economic
Policy Institute, black mens average hourly wages were 31 percent
lower than white men in 2015, and
black womens average hourly
wages were 19 percent lower than
white women that same year.
In addition to racism, the
GenForward poll also showed that
31 percent of young women say
theyve experienced gender discrimination in looking for a job
and in the workplace itself.
In 2015, women made about 80
cents for every dollar made by

men, according to the Institute for

Womens Policy Research.
Holly Berkey, 18, of Lincoln,
Nebraska, said she experienced it
firsthand while working in an ice
cream shop. Her male co-workers
would make sexist, disparaging
remarks in her presence, she said
for example, that Berkey
should be the one doing the washing and the cleaning instead of
them because shes a woman.
Berkey said when she complained to a manager, she was
told, its just boys being boys.
The final straw, Berkey said, came
when she complained about a male
co-worker she had trained, who
then began acting rudely toward
her after a leave. I was told to just
tough it out, she said. So she
quit.
Berkey said she hears similar
stories from her female friends. I
know a lot of boys who are like
this, she said. I wish it wasnt
like that but it is.

United States turns up heat

on Russia as ties deteriorate
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration is turning up the rhetorical heat on

Russia, accusing senior Russian officials of
ordering the hacking of American political
sites to try to interfere in the upcoming
presidential election and suggesting that
Russias military is committing war crimes
in Syria.
Fridays barrage of allegations from
Washington coupled with angry denials
from Moscow marked a descent to yet
another low point in increasingly poor relations between the former Cold War foes,
who are deeply divided over key international issues of war and peace and appear on
a path of one-upsmanship perhaps not seen
since the collapse of the Soviet Union in
1991.
The hacking allegations, made publicly
for the first time since cyberattacks on the
Democratic National Committee and the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee earlier this year, came amid pressure on the administration to call Russia out
for the hacking, which has produced the
release of embarrassing internal emails.
We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russias
senior-most officials could have authorized
these activities, the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence said in a joint
statement with the Department of Homeland
Security.
It said recent disclosures of alleged
hacked emails on websites like
DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks, and by the
Guccifer 2.0 online persona, are consistent with the methods and motivations of
efforts directed by Russia, which has
denied involvement.
These thefts and disclosures are intended
to interfere with the U.S. election process,
the statement said. Such activity is not
new to Moscow. The Russians have used
similar tactics and techniques across Europe
and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there.
The White House declined to say whether
the formal attribution would trigger sanctions against Russia and senior officials
said the U.S. would respond at a time and
place of its choosing, but stressed that any
retaliation may not take place in the open.
Part of the difficulty with responding to
cyberattacks is the lack of an official rulebook for doing so.
Fridays announcement blaming Russia
publicly appears to be continuing precedent, and the acknowledgement of at least
one rule or line in the sand, under the Obama
administration.
These are core values, said Michael

Morell, the former deputy director of the

Central Intelligence Agency. It doesnt get
any more core than this, and when you get
countries starting to mess around, you need
to send a very powerful signal that we are
not going to allow this to happen.
The U. S. has worked with countries
around the world over the last five years to
cultivate a set of voluntary norms, or guidelines, for cyberspace. Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations as
nonsense, but didnt deny Russian
involvement.
Every day there are tens of thousands of
attacks on (Russian President Vladimir)
Putins website. Many of the attacks can be
traced to the U.S., Peskov was quoted as
telling Russias Interfax news agency.
Were not blaming the White House or
Langley every time, he added, referring to
Langley, Virginia, home of CIA headquarters.
The U.S. statement stopped short of linking attempted hacks or probing of U.S.
state electoral systems directly to Russia
although intelligence officials say many of
these originated from servers operated by a
Russian company.
The accusation came just hours after
Secretary of State John Kerry called for a war
crimes investigation into Russian and
Syrian military strikes in Syria, particularly
in Aleppo where they are alleged to have hit
civilian targets, including hospitals and
medical workers. The Russian Foreign
Ministry said Kerry was trying to divert
attention from U.S. failure to uphold a
cease-fire it he negotiated with Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last month
in Geneva.
Russia and the regime owe the world
more than an explanation about why they
keep hitting hospitals and medical facilities, and children and women, Kerry told
reporters at the State Department alongside
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault,
who was in Washington after meeting
Lavrov in Moscow on Thursday.
These are acts that beg for an appropriate
investigation of war crimes, Kerry said.
Theyre beyond the accidental now, way
beyond, years beyond the accidental. This
is a targeted strategy to terrorize civilians
and to kill anybody and everybody who is in
the way of their military objectives.
The U.S. has little chance of being able to
initiate a war crimes probe of either Russia
or Syria. Russia has veto power at the U.N.
Security Council and has blocked repeated
attempts over the last 5 1/2 years to put
pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assads
government or hold it accountable for the
widespread allegations of indiscriminate
killing, torture and chemical weapons
attacks.

American forces increasing presence near Mosul

By Susannah George
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMP SWIFT, Iraq Thirteen

years ago, Chase Snows father
was among the American troops
who moved into the Iraqi city of
Mosul during the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
Now Snow, a U.S. Army specialist, is deployed in Iraq to help in
the fight to retake the city from
the Islamic State group.
The assault on Mosul, Iraqs second largest city, is bringing
American forces into their most
significant role in Iraq in years, in
terms of numbers and presence on
the front lines.
The lead-up to the assault has
already brought some U.S. forces
into combat with the militants.
Special forces carry out raids
alongside Iraqi troops inside IS-

held territory around Mosul. And

now as Iraqi forces prepare for the
operation to retake the city, those
raids have increased in frequency,
according to a coalition official,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity as he was not authorized to brief the media.
The U.S. has also sent Apache
helicopters to aid in the Mosul
fight, according to the Pentagon,
a step that was not taken when
Iraqi forces retook the western
cities of Ramadi and Fallujah.
The number of U.S. troops in
Iraq has steadily grown over the
past two years to now nearly
6,000 service members, up from
almost none following the 2011
withdrawal from Iraq. The latest
group, numbering nearly 600,
began to deploy in September to
Qayara air base, the facility 30
miles south of Mosul that is to be

the main staging ground for the

assault on the city. Trucks have
been rolling in the base for weeks
with supplies and equipment,
preparing it so coalition warplanes will be able to operate
there.
Youve got to look at Mosul as
the crown jewel right now, said
Maj. Gen. Gary Volesky, the head
of U. S ground forces in Iraq,
regarding the build-up of forces.
The deployments have all been
targeted to assist in the Mosul
attack.
Besides the hundreds of special
forces, most of the American personnel operate back from the front
lines, coordinating coalition
airstrikes, tracking Iraqi ground
troops, sharing intelligence and
helping plan operations.

Manhunt for German bomb plot suspect

By David Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN German police

searched nationwide Sunday for a
22-year-old Syrian man believed
to have been preparing a bombing
attack, who slipped through their
fingers as they were closing in on
him, and were questioning a second Syrian man on suspicion he
was involved in the plot.
The man in custody was one of
three apprehended in the eastern
city of Chemnitz on Saturday. He
was the renter of the apartment
that police raided in their search
for the main suspect, Jaber Albakr

from the Damascus area of Syria,

Saxony police spokesman Tom
Bernhardt told The Associated
Press. The other two men have
been released.
He said the man in custody was
Albakrs countryman, but
wouldnt give other details.
We believe he is a possible coconspirator, Bernhardt said.
Another man who knew Albakr
was taken into custody for questioning Sunday afternoon in a raid
on his Chemnitz apartment.
On Saturday morning, as police
prepared to raid the apartment
building, Albakr was observed
leaving the premises. Police fired

a warning shot but were unable to

stop him, Bernhardt said, confirming German media reports. They
thought he had turned back into
the building but wasnt the case,
he said.
Bernhardt
also
confirmed
reports that Albakr had come to
Germany in the flood of 890,000
migrants who entered the country
in 2015 and had been granted asylum.
Nobody was in the apartment
when police SWAT teams blew
down the door Saturday, but investigators found several hundred
grams of a volatile explosive
hidden in the flat.

Airborne Division, is advising

Iraqi officers carrying out the
Mosul operation. His father was
also with the 101st in Mosul in
2003. Now on Snows Iraq deployment, he carries the same
American flag his father kept with
him on all of his tours and his
fathers good luck charm: a St.
Michael prayer card.
I know my father never thought
I would be coming to Iraq, Snow
said
U.S. presence at bases closer to
Mosul in the lead up to operation
is essential to the advise-andassist mission, said U.S. Army
Col. Brett Sylvia, the commanding officer at Camp Swift, a small
coalition base outside Makhmour,
some 73 kilometers (45 miles)
southeast of Mosul.
If youre not there, then you
dont have a voice, Sylvia said,

standing in front of the bank of

televisions and desktop monitors
that he says constitutes the forward edge of the battle for his
men.
As of last week, there were
4,565 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. That doesnt
include another 1,500 troops considered there on temporary duty,
whose number changes daily,
according to the U.S. officials
U.S. troop levels in Iraq peaked
at 157,800 during the 2008 surge
under then-President George W.
Bush, according to the Pentagon.
More than 140,000 U.S. troops
were in Iraq when President Barack
Obama took office in 2009.
Obama drew down the forces until
the complete withdrawal of late
2011 removed all combat troops
from the country, leaving behind
only a few hundred U.S. trainers.

Thousands march in Yemen

after 140 killed in airstrike
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Thousands of

Yemenis marched in the capital
Sanaa on Sunday to protest a
Saudi-led coalition airstrike a day
earlier that hit a funeral hall
packed with hundreds of mourners,
killing over 140 people.
The casualty toll, given by a
U.N. official, also mentioned over
525 wounded in what was one of
the deadliest single attacks of the
countrys civil war. The rebel-controlled Health Ministry gave a
lower figure, saying that 115 bodies had been counted but that the

number will likely rise because

charred remains were still being
identified. Of the 600 wounded it
tallied, it said many cases were
serious and at least 300 would need
treatment abroad.
Some of the demonstrators who
marched outside the U.N. building
in southern Sanaa blamed the
organization for not ending the
conflict and urged an independent
investigation.
Some protesters brandished
automatic weapons and rebel supporters in the crowd called on people from the region to rise up and
attack Saudi Arabia.

Yes on R
Editor,
Burlingame renters are our friends
and our neighbors. They are our seniors and our young families. They are
our teachers and our child care workers. They are our pharmacists, our
nurses, our dental assistants, our artisans, our shop workers and our librarians. They are our pensioners and our
parents. They are a part of
Burlingame.
Renters are being pushed out of
Burlingame by spiraling rents. A 90plus-year-old woman was being evicted and died. Renters found no help
at City Hall. So, they explained their
case to citizens and collected enough
signatures to put their measure on the
ballot.
The well-nanced campaign to vote
No on R speaks for the interests of
landlords and apartment owners. We
hear their message loud and clear.
Costly and Misleading. Costly to
whom? Misleading, how? They call
themselves The Coalition of
Housing Equality. This is Orwellian
language. A No-On-R sign says,
Save Burlingame. From whom?
We live in an uncertain time. Miss a
few mortgage payments and the bank
forecloses your home. Work two
jobs, pay your bills, send your children to Burlingame schools and suddenly the landlord raises the rent.
Where do you go?
What kind of community do we

Think about this when you vote on

Measure Q, rent control

Editor,
I have worked in San Mateo since
1973 and moved here in 1976. None of
my parcels will be affected by this
Measure Q. I have closely followed the
arguments made in favor of and against
Q, attending some of the contentious
meetings at City Hall and watching
others on TV. I have carefully read the
early version of the measure and
engaged signature solicitors in discussions, familiarizing myself with its
provisions. Solicitors were never put
off when turned down; instead, with a
big smile, they offered an assortment
of other petitions to sign.
I recently received my sample ballot for the Presidential General
Election and spent a couple of hours
reading, once more, this incredulously written ordinance. It completely
reinforced my rst impression of how
poorly written this law is. A onesided, poorly written law with little
or no wiggle room. It is an assault on
the rights given to us citizens by our
forefathers through those magnicent
documents we call the U.S.
Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

to promote neighborhood and community stability, healthy housing and
affordability for renters in the City of
San Mateo by controlling excessive
rent increases and arbitrary evictions
to the greatest extent allowable under
California law, while ensuring
Landlords a fair and reasonable return
on their investment and guaranteeing
fair protections for renters, homeowners and businesses, according to
the City of San Mateos ofcial
description of Measure Q.
My rent has increased at an annual
rate of 7.1 percent for the last nine
years. Meanwhile the cost of living
index has increased just 1.7 percent
annually during that time.
The city has had a good many years
to come forth with their own proposal, but they have not. They should be
working with developers to increase
the supply rentals in San Mateo
County.
Measure Q may not be perfect, but
in the meantime, it is a renters best
hope.

Create housing opportunities

at every income level
Editor,
The San Mateo County Economic
Development Association (SAMCEDA) represents a contingent of leading Bay Area businesses, institutions, organizations and entrepreneurs. We are recognized for our experienced, impact-driven approach as a
business advocacy organization.
Rent control legislation serves to
restrict housing supply and in the
long term is both counterproductive
and detrimental public policy.
Therefore the Board of Directors of
SAMCEDA unanimously opposes
Measure Q in San Mateo and Measure
R is Burlingame.
SAMCEDA is proud that the Silicon

Misleading facts
Editor,
Signs posted by opponents of
Measure Q urge a no vote, claiming
the measure is costly and misleading.
Misleading would be a perfect adjective for the yer I received in the mail
recently from these people purporting
to give the facts about Measure Q.
The rst fact listed is: Costs San
Mateo taxpayers millions of dollars
each year. This is blatantly untrue as
was pointed out in the Daily Journals
Oct.1 article which reported, The
commission would be funded by a
rental housing fee landlords would be
required to pay per unit.

Keep our trades working

vote no on Q and R
Editor,
Housing opportunities will become
scarcer because measures Q and R
make it easy for tenants to stay and
hard for landlords to improve the
property and the neighborhoods.
When housing doesnt turnover
improvements arent made to properties. When improvements to property
are made employment for our tradespeople increases. If no improvements
results in NO work for carpenters,
painters, plumbers tile installers,
carpet installers, window installers
etc., etc.
Please Lets keep everyone
working. Vote no on Q and R.

It is that diversity, which contributes

as the biggest threat to the regional

at all levels of affordability has
become a major threat to the economy
of the Bay Area.
The regions employers are nding
it increasingly difcult to attract and

The [San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce]
Leadership Program was the best way to meet the leaders of
our local community. No other networking opportunity has
helped me develop my network of professional colleagues
like Leadership. The friendships and collaborative relationships Ive built through Leadership help me do a better job
of strengthening community.
As a newly appointed San
Mateo Planning
Commissioner, Eric
Rodriquez said he, quickly
realized that many of the
challenges San Mateo faces:
trafc/parking, housing
costs, environmental, sustainable economic growth,
etc. are all highly interrelated. Each land use decision
requires balancing these
concerns and often making
difcult trade-offs. I wanted
to participate in the
Leadership Program to deepen my understanding of each of these challenges, so I could
make more effective planning decisions.

On Oct. 20, the Leadership Program of the San Mateo Area
Chamber of Commerce, which has spawned many elected
ofcials and community leaders, will celebrate its 25th
anniversary. It began in 1989-90 when Anne LeClair headed
the chamber. She and chamber members Monte Dayton,
Dave Altscher, Paul Gumbinger and Carole Groom wanted to
connect local business with civic participation. Then former
councilman Tom Mack and Jerry Hill, who was soon to be
elected to the council, were also involved. They approached
then-city manager Dick DeLong who knew of a similar program in Denver. He gave the idea his blessing, a board was
formed chaired by Mack and the rst program began in
1991. The rst class had about a dozen members from business, government, public and nonprot agencies and the
community at large. In the last 10 years, classes have averaged about 35 participants.
Over the years, the program has continued to grow,
mainly due to the excellent content of the classes and the
enthusiastic endorsements of Leadership graduates. We
expanded the program to Burlingame, Foster City and
Hillsborough years ago, understanding that regional problems require regional solutions, explained LeClair, who
now heads the countys convention and visitors bureau.
The goals and framework have remained the same over 25
years but the content has changed to keep up with changing
times. Program Days explore topics such as health, education, business, environment, arts and culture with local
experts including mayors, city managers, state and county
ofcials, school board members and superintendents, nonprot CEOs and business leaders.
Tuition is $1,500, usually paid by the sponsoring business or agency. The 700-plus graduates read like a list of
whos who in San Mateo County. Current and former councilmembers include (from Burlingame) Ann Keighran,
Michael Brownrigg, Emily Beach and Terry Nagel; (from
Hillsborough) Shawn Christianson, Marie Chuang, Kitty
Mullooly and Chris Krolik; (from Foster City) Herb Perez,
Gary Pollard, Sam Hindi, Pam Frisella and Steve Okamoto;
(from San Mateo) Rick Bonilla and Brandt Grotte. San
Mateo City Manager Larry Patterson and Burlingame City
Manager Lisa Goldman are also graduates as are Joan Rosas,
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District superintendent, and her predecessor Cynthia Simms.
According to Tish Buselle, the Leadership Program has
been referred to as a back stage pass and front row seat
to decision-makers, community leaders and current issues
whether today or 25 years ago. Leaderships 25th
Anniversary past, present and future will be celebrated
Oct. 20 at the Bay View Dining Room at College of San
Mateo. Details and ticket information can be obtained
online at leadershipprogram.net.

There are so many new principals in the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District, its hard to keep track of
who is where. George Elliott, who is new to the district, is
the new principal at Brewer Island Elementary School. Lori
Fukumoto, a past principal at Parkside Elementary School is
now principal at Laurel Elementary School; Steven Chuang,
uent in Mandarin, is the new principal at College Park
Elementary School, which is a Mandarin immersion school;
Melinda Fore, who has served as a principal in other county
school districts is the new principal at Parkside Montessori
School; John Cosmos, former principal at Borel Middle
School and Brewer Island elementary is the new principal at
Bayside STEM Academy and is on track to become a superintendent somewhere one of these days; Amy Snow, who formerly worked at Abbott Middle School is the new principal
at Beresford Elementary School. A principals job is 24/7
with a lot of trauma in between. So good luck to the new
administrators.

New incidents defy Samsungs

efforts to end smartphone woes
By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Samsung

Electronics seemed to have its
smartphone troubles under control
until authorities had to evacuate
a Southwest Airlines flight in
Kentucky last week for an incident
that involved a replacement
phone.
The reason: Authorities said a
Samsung smartphone started
smoking and making popping
noises, just moments after its
owner had boarded the plane and
turned off the device.
Passenger Brian Green, 43, says
the device was a Galaxy Note 7 he
had picked up from an authorized
AT&T retailer Sept. 21 as a
replacement for another Note 7
phone he returned when Samsung
announced a global recall a week
earlier. The recall came after a
series of incidents last month in
which Note 7 batteries overheated
or caught fire. But Samsung had
promised that the replacement

models were safe.

Reports of more replacement
phones catching fire are trickling
in, and the South Korean tech
giant faces more scrutiny after earlier criticism for being slow to
react and sending confusing signals in the first days of the recall.
Theyre in a really tricky
spot, said Ben Bajarin, a tech
industry analyst with the Creative
Strategies research firm. Theres
such a stigma around this device
now that its hard to see how sales
can do well going forward.
Consider Greens reaction: I
really liked the device. It had a lot
of nice features, he told The
Associated Press in an interview
Friday. But after the incident on
the plane, he bought a new iPhone
7 from Apple, rather than take his
chances with yet another Samsung
Note. At this point, I dont want
to mess with it anymore.
Authorities havent confirmed
what model of Samsung phone was
involved in last weeks incident. A
spokeswoman for the Consumer

Product Safety Commission said

Friday that her agency is still
investigating and had no further
information.
AT&T, one of the nations
largest phone retailers, said
Sunday that it will stop giving
customers
the
replacement
phones.
Were no longer exchanging
new Note 7s at this time, pending
further investigation of these
reported incidents, A&T said in a
statement.
AT&T encouraged customers
with Note 7 phones to exchange
them for other products. The company says it hasnt sold Note 7
phones since the initial recall was
announced.
Verizon, another major seller of
smartphones, said it doesnt have
any Note 7 phones but they are on
back order. Sprint said customers
can exchange their replacement
Note 7 phones for any other
device while the situation is being
investigated.
Meanwhile, other customers

World finance officials pledge

more resources to aid growth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON World finance leaders

pledged Saturday to use more resources to try
to bolster economic gains as they confront
stubbornly slow growth and a rising backlash against globalization.
The policy committee for the 189-nation
International Monetary Fund said the world
has benefited tremendously from globalization but that protectionism is a threat.
Increasing anger over globalization dominated the annual meetings of the IMF and
its sister lending agency, the World Bank.
The unhappiness is evident in Britains
vote in June to leave the European Union
and in the U.S. presidential campaign of
Republican Donald Trump. Trump has said
millions of Americans have lost jobs or
seen wages stagnate because of unfair trade

practices of countries such as China and

Mexico. He is vowing to impose penalty
tariffs if those practices are not halted.
The British vote sent shockwaves through
financial markets this summer, and there
were further troubles Friday when the British
pound plunged by 6 percent against the dollar before recovering. Investors worry
whether there will be more turbulence if the
British exit proves to be messy and prolonged.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde
said growth has been too low for too long,
benefiting too few, and thats what officials need to address.
French Finance Minister Michel Sapin
said global leaders must address concerns of
inequality and injustice caused by globalization, such as tax evasion by big corporations and job losses by workers.

have reported problems with their

replacement phones.
A Minnesota father says his
daughter suffered a minor burn to
her thumb when her replacement
Samsung smartphone melted in
her hand last week.
Andrew Zuis of Farmington, a
Twin Cities suburb, said his
daughter, Abby, was holding the
Galaxy Note 7 in her left hand
Friday when it melted. Zuis told
the Associated Press on Sunday
that the family had acquired the
new phone on the day the
replacement
phones
were
released. There had been no problem with the original phone, he
said.
Its very fortunate Abby was
not injured and was holding the
phone, Zuis said. If it was in her
pocket, I think it would have been
a whole different situation. Im
just very disappointed in Samsung
and their product.
Zuis provided KSTP-TV with
receipts showing that the family

MadBum aims to make Game 3 stand vs. Cubs

By Janie McCauley

NLDS Game 3, Cubs vs. Giants; 6:30 p.m. on FS1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Sure, Jake Arrieta and

Joe Maddon know all about what Madison
Bumgarner has done on the postseason stage
in recent years.
Just how good the big lefty has been and his
San Francisco Giants, too. Theyre 9-0 in
elimination games under manager Bruce
Bochy, rallied from improbable deficits to
win it all three times this decade every
other year, and this is one of those even years.
San Franciscos October theme this time:
Beli-EVEN.

As the Chicago Cubs

arrived Sunday in the Bay
Area with a 2-0 NL
Division Series lead and
chance to close out the
home team, Maddon
knows theres plenty that
still must go right for his
Madison
club to move closer to endBumgarner
ing its World Series curse.
Wed be foolish to be overconfident about
this situation, Maddon said. Theyre really
good, theyve done this before. That is a

group that is just dripping with tested veterans

and a manager thats outstanding. So you
never take the Giants for granted. Never.
The Cubs were in for an unexpected treat
Sunday: The Blue Angels regularly buzzed by
out over the bay during Fleet Week as the Cubs
wrapped up their afternoon work, with a few
players and coaches stealing a glance up at the
blue sky.
Maddon found himself reflecting to his
youth when Bumgarners name was brought

The Serra Padres entered Saturdays showdown with archrival St. Francis needing a
statement win.
They got it.
With a wild finale that saw St. Francis
overcome a 10-point deficit in the final
seven minutes including the unlikeliest of
game-tying field goals with no time remaining on the regulation clock Serra
answered back in overtime, converting on a
gutsy two-point conversion on the games
final play to send the crowd at Brady Family
Stadium into a frenzy with a 41-40 victory.
It has been a season of slow beginnings
for the Padres (2-1 WCAL, 2-4 overall), who
opened the year with four straight losses to
an array of powerhouse programs. Saturdays
game started no different, as Serra fell behind
14-6 in the second quarter. St. Francis went
on to extend the lead to 23-13 by the midway
mark of the third quarter, but Serra went on a
20-point run to turn the tables.
Weve been through a lot of pain, Serra
head coach Patrick Walsh said. The first
[four] games were very painful. The Padre
brothers though, we were getting our butts
kicked (Saturday) and they hung together.
The outcome marked the first loss of the
season for St. Francis (2-1, 5-1), which
entered the much-anticipated annual rivalry
game riding a five-game win streak. Padres
senior quarterback Sitaleki Nunn proved the
Kryptonite to the Lancers super start, racking up 373 total yards and five touchdowns.
Hes been bettering all year long too,
Walsh said. Hes a tough kid. Any college

up, and seeing Bob Gibson do what he did in
the 60s and then Mr. Koufax, what he did. So
you have to kind of draw the parallels or the
comparisons from when you were a kid,
Maddon said.
So I look at it as, wow, its just like what

Jays sweep into ALCS

By Ian Harrison
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Josh Donaldson raced home

from second base after Rougned Odor bounced
a double-play relay in the 10th inning and the
Toronto Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 7-6
to sweep their AL Division Series on Sunday
night.
Donaldson, the reigning AL MVP, led off
the 10th with a double into the right-center
eld gap, and then Matt Bush intentionally
walked Edwin Encarnacion.
After Jose Bautista struck out, Russell
Martin hit a grounder to shortstop Elvis
Andrus, and Andrus tried to start a double play
with a feed to second baseman Odor. Odor
short-hopped his throw to rst baseman
Mitch Moreland and the ball skipped away,
allowing Donaldson to dash home and beat
Morelands throw with a dive across the plate.
Toronto is headed back to the AL
Championship Series after beating Texas in
an ALDS for a second straight year and will
face the winner of the Cleveland-Boston
series. The Indians lead 2-0, with Game 3

scheduled for Monday following a postponement Sunday.

The umpires huddled to review the play at
second base. After a brief delay, the crowd of
49,555 went wild when crew chief Joe West
signaled the run was good.
Donaldson had two doubles among his three
hits and is batting .538 through four postseason games, all wins for the Blue Jays, who
had to beat Baltimore in a wild-card game to
get to the ALDS.

championship run rolling.
Arrieta already has said he has no fear
about this matchup, giving his respect to
Bumgarner while also noting hes beatable.
Hes been one of the best in the postseason for the last several years. We have got a
challenge ahead of us, but we put ourselves
in a really good position, obviously taking
care of business at home with the opportunity to close the series out in three games and
get back to Chicago and prepare, Arrieta
said. He is tough, but at the same time we
have got pretty potent offense that he has to
try and neutralize.
Trailing in a postseason series or being on
the brink of going home for the offseason has
hardly seemed to faze Bochys teams in recent
history. In 2012, the Giants became the first
team to win three straight road games in a
best-of-five series after dropping the first two
in the division series at home to the Reds. San
Francisco then rallied from a 3-1 deficit to
beat St. Louis.
As brilliant as Bumgarner might be against
the Cubs slugging lineup, the Giants must
find a way to score runs or a run if thats all
it takes in a likely pitchers duel to extend
their season by at least one more day. Arrieta
won 22 games in 2015 and another 18 this
season.
Both pitchers are capable hitters, adding to
the intrigue of Mondays matchup.
I feel like well attack each other accordingly, Arrieta said, and not take it lightly.

CHICAGO Like too many ballplayers

with interesting and sometimes controversial
pasts, Aroldis Chapman would prefer that his
game do the talking. If so, its always going
to be a short conversation.
Chapmans game involves throwing 100plus-mph fastballs past hitters, rarely for
more than an inning.

Chapman
New York stood still
long enough to field a handful of questions.
I love the responsibility. I love that it falls
on my shoulders, Chapman said through a
translator after closing out both of Chicagos
NL Division Series wins at Wrigley Field to
pick up his first two postseason saves. Yet a
city desperate to break a century-and-counting
World Series drought is already counting on
even more.
The pressure is on, but I can handle that. I
understand the city and the fans are up and
hyped up, Chapman added, but thats fine,
too.
To describe Chapmans arrival in July as
rough does not do it justice.
He came in a trade with the Yankees barely
two months after serving a 30-game suspension as the first violator of MLBs new domestic violence policy. He was accused of choking his girlfriend and then firing a gun during
an argument late last year in his Florida home,
though charges were never filed.
Making matters worse, his welcome-totown news conference was a disaster. Theo
Epstein, the Cubs popular president of baseball operations, went to great lengths to
explain that the front office made clear the
importance of his off-field behavior.
Chapman said that was news to him. If so, it
didnt affect his reception in the clubhouse.
You notice when guys fit in, said backup
catcher David Ross, the Cubs unofficial clubhouse judge. With him it was seamless. He
doesnt speak great English, but hes always
smiling. He made friends quick.
It didnt hurt, of course, that Chapman posted 16 saves in 18 opportunities, with a 1.01
ERA heading into the postseason. Or that he

Anticipated return from Deflategatesuspension

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Tom Brady claimed there

was no extra motivation when he took the
field Sunday.
His actions spoke otherwise.
The arm pump toward the Patriots fans in
the Cleveland stands as he began warmups.
The mini-Usain Bolt celebration on the sideline after running for a first down. Oh yeah,
the 406 yards passing and three touchdowns,
all to Martellus Bennett, a tight end hed never
thrown to in a real game.
It might not have been vintage Brady after
four weeks suspended for his role in the
Deflategate scandal, but it was plenty good
in a 33-13 victory over Cleveland.
In Rob Gronkowskis estimation, Tom
always brings the ampness to the table.
Maybe he was bringing a warning to the
rest of the NFL, too. From the beginning, it
was pretty much the same Brady who has terrorized the league for 17 seasons and won four
Super Bowls. Yet he recognized how much
better it can be.
I try to go out and do my best. I know my
teammates expect that out of me and I expect
that out of them, he said before admitting
there were mistakes. Absolutely, there definitely were a few of those and they are the ones
you learn from. I can do better in a lot of
areas.
On his first series, Brady listened to a loud
ovation from the thousands of Patriots fans
on hand. He then hit his first three throws and
four of five, with the incompletion a drop by
James White.
The capper was a 1-yard run by LeGarrette
Blount to make it 7-0, after which Brady

sideline, hugged Gronkowski, then bumped
helmets with Blount.
Brady went right back to work on the next
two New England possessions, looking as
sharp as if this were a Super Bowl. His throws
were crisp, particularly on a perfect spiral to
Chris Hogan that gained 63 yards. Twice he
found Bennett for scores, from 7 and 5 yards.
By halftime, the two-time NFL MVP had
New England in front 23-7, going 18 for 25
(with three drops) for 271 yards, and looked
somewhat frustrated because the Patriots didnt score on every drive.
Weve got to be able to finish drives off,
he said.
It was a more workmanlike second half for
New England. He came out with 6:02 remaining to more cheers from the remaining fans,
few of whom were in Browns colors. He went
28 of 40 and also rushed for 14 yards.
Thats his first game back and he goes
406, Edelman said. Thats pretty special.

Brady sat patiently next to Edelman on the

bench while Cleveland (0-5) went three-andout to begin his first meaningful game since
losing the AFC championship in Denver in
January. Naturally, he connected immediately
on a quick out to Edelman for 10 yards and a
19-yarder to another old friend, tight end
Gronkowski.
A weaving 34-yard journey by Gronkowski
set up the Blount touchdown, and the Patriots
looked whole again.
Super great, Gronk said of having his
quarterback back. Hes our leader, hes our
guy.
Hours earlier, dozens of fans, many in No.

entrance from the tunnel. When their returning hero trotted onto the field with backup
Jimmy Garoppolo, a huge cheer and chants of

emphatically pumped his right arm.

to a 10th straight division loss.

Big-play rookie

Just when you think youve seen it all,

something like that happens, McCoy said.

Cooper scores
Raiders receiver Amari Cooper hadnt
scored a touchdown in four games before
breaking through against the Chargers. He
scored on a 64-yard pass from Carr in the
third quarter and added a 2-point conversion
after Crabtrees TD. Cooper also nearly had
three more scores, but couldnt get both feet
down inbounds on two throws into the end
zone and was unable to re-establish himself
after being interfered with on a third play.
First one is always the hardest, no matter
what it is, Carr said. Im just happy for
him because he works his tail off.

LAS VEGAS Nevada lawmakers convene Monday to consider raising taxes in

the Las Vegas area to help fund a $1.9 billion football stadium, a $1.4 billion convention center expansion and more police

Here are things to know about the deal.

teams owner, Mark Davis, said hes serious
about moving the team to Las Vegas in time

also house UNLV football. The largely commuter school wants to elevate its reputation
and play in a venue closer than its current

Sparks outshoot
Lynx in Game 1
of WNBA Finals

SPORTS

THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS In a championship series

filled with stars, Alana Beard sometimes can
get lost with so much attention on
Minnesotas four Olympians and the two
MVPs in Los Angeles.
Thats exactly what happened in the closing
moments of Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, and
Beard hit a jumper from the baseline just before
time expired to lift the Sparks to a 78-76 victory over the defending champion Lynx.
With the defense collapsing on Candace
Parker and Nneka Ogwumike in the paint,
Beard found herself all alone in the corner. She
took the pass from Chelsea Gray and knocked
down jumper with Maya Moores in her face.
As the ball splashed through, Moore put her
head in her hands, and the Sparks celebrated a
thrilling victory, their second on Minnesotas
court this season.
You may not recognize the importance of
her statistically for us a lot of times, Sparks
coach Brian Agler said. But her presence, her
leadership, obviously how disruptive she can
be defensively, and then for her to hit a shot
like that, it was incredible.
Kristi Toliver scored 19 points to lead Los
Angeles and Parker had 14 points and nine
rebounds in her finals debut. League MVP
Ogwumike added 19 points for the Sparks in
the opener of the best-of-five series.
Sylvia Fowles had 18 points and 13
rebounds and Lindsay Whalen scored 18 points
for top-seeded Minnesota. Moore scored all 18
of her points in the second half to move into
first place on the WNBAs career finals scoring
list, but the Lynx committed 16 turnovers and
got caught scrambling on the final possession
of the game.

Years final throw of the game on the
games final play an 8-yard strike in
overtime to junior slot receiver Shane
Villaroman on a slant route over the middle
to convert a winner-take-all, two-point
conversion attempt.
The throw was right on my hands,
Villaroman said. I couldnt ask for a better
ball.
After not committing a penalty through
the entire first half, Serra was plagued by
yellow flags in the games final minutes.
The first major blow came at the close of
regulation with St. Francis trailing 33-30.
With three seconds remaining, the Lancers

took a shot at a 47-yard field-goal attempt

but had the kick blocked by Serra senior TC
Lavulo.
Lavulo, however, drew a 15-yard leaping
penalty for jumping through the offensive
line. And as St. Francis lined up again with
no time remaining on the regulation clock,
Serra was slapped with an offside penalty to
march the Lancers closer for what ultimately
became a chip-shot, 26-yard field goal by
senior Matt Keeth to tie it 33-33 and force
overtime.
In California high school overtime, each
team is given possession at the oppositions 10-yard line with four downs to try
and score. St. Francis took the opening possession in overtime and went to running
back Cyrus Habibi-Likio three times, with
the senior after a moderate day of 83 rushing yards on 24 carries with three touchdowns capping his performance with a 7yard score; with the ensuing extra-point by
Keeth, the Lancers took a 40-33 lead.
Serra looked to Nunn to answer back. With
the game on the line, the senior quarterback
threw two consecutive incompletions. Then
on third down, he seemed to miss his mark
again, but St. Francis was flagged for pass
interference. Nunn then went to the ground
and scored on a 5-point dash off right tackle
to draw the Padres to within a point.
With the Padres converting on just 1 of 3
extra-point attempts to that point, Walsh
opted to play for all the marbles with a twopoint conversion attempt. Walsh said he
made up his mind he would play it that way if
necessary the moment St. Francis booted
the game-tying field goal.
The Padres lined up from the 3-yard line
but suffered yet another offside penalty. So,
from 8 yards out, Serra was forced to go to

the air, trusting in its most utilized target on

the afternoon in Villaroman.
The junior had a game-high six catches for
72 yards and had already scored twice previously; his 32-yard scoring catch with 9:59
remaining in the fourth quarter gave Serra its
first lead of the game at 27-23; three minutes
later he added a 14-yard scoring catch to up
the lead to 33-23. And Villaroman needed
just one step in a one-on-one matchup to get
the advantage on the two-point try and haul
in a perfect pass from Nunn as he crossed the
goal line.
Ive always had faith in Shane and he
came up big time, Nunn said.
Serra outgained St. Francis 394-329 in
total yards, with both teams using limited
ground resources. In addition to Nunns
game-high 114 rushing yards on 19 carries
and two touchdowns, the Padres utilized just
one other ball carrier in junior Isiah
Kendrick, who gained 43 rushing yards on 10
carries but finished with 133 total yards. By
air, Nunn was 14-of-31 passing for 230 yards
with an interception three TDs, including a
pair of 45-yard scoring strikes to Kendrick.
St. Francis was paced by junior quarterback Reed Vettels 17-of-31 passing for 247
yards and a touchdown.
Keeping in check the formidable running
game of Habibi-Likio who also totaled 72
receiving yards on five catches and a touchdown was much in part to Lavulos presence. The senior middle linebacker missed
the first four games of the year. Since his
return Sept. 30 against Sacred Heart
Cathedral, the Padres have won two straight.
Being on the sidelines, not being able to
do something because I was hurt, it was disappointing, Lavulo said. I felt like I could
be a big game-changer for this defense.

CONCACAF to overhaul World Cup qualifying format Sharks sunk on Anaheims

By Rob Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON World Cup qualifying in

North America is set to be overhauled to
avoid shutting out the majority of countries in the CONCACAF region so early.
CONCACAF
President
Victor
Montagliani has instigated a review of
an archaic format that leaves only six
out of the regions 35 teams still in with
a shot at qualifying for Russia in 2018.
Alongside a potential new name to
replace the corruption-tainted CONCACAF brand, revamping qualifying to be
more inclusive has emerged as a key
objective for Montagliani after five
months in charge of the confederation
covering North and Central America and
the Caribbean.
Something needs to change because
you cant have 85 percent of your members who are on the outside looking in
two years before the World Cup,
Montagliani told The Associated Press.
It doesnt make sense.
Since qualifying for the 1998 World
Cup, CONCACAF has used a system
where teams play home and away in early
rounds. Once 12 nations are remaining
there are three groups of four, which produces six teams for a final round.

lawmakers on the basis that the tax
increase would hit tourists, not locals,
and that the hotel tax has always been
aimed at increasing tourism southern Nevadas most important industry.
Two-thirds of each Republican-controlled house must approve any tax
increase.

Deal for a billionaire

Behind the deal is Las Vegas Sands
casino owner and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, whos worth
about $32 billion and ranks as the 14th
richest person in the U.S. on Forbes
latest rankings. Opponents say he, of
all people, can afford to fully finance
the stadium on his own. Adelson is
committing $650 million to the project, while asking for $750 million
from hotel tax revenue to cover bonds

Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Trinidad

chasing three of CONCACAFs automatic
qualification places. Starting next month,
they play each other twice in a league.
Its great for those six teams over the
next year and a bit but how about the other
ones? Montagliani said. Its hard.
Hard for players to raise their standard
and hard for teams to generate revenue to
fund soccer development.

climbing the FIFA rankings, just because
we are not able to play as many international games as you want to, John
Krishnadath, president of the Suriname
soccer federation, told the AP earlier this
and $500 million from the Raiders and
the NFL. Proponents argue the two
projects could bring 14,000 permanent
jobs and make a $620 million annual
economic impact, while opponents
fear the projections are too optimistic
and worry the deals structure could
leave taxpayers holding the bag in
case of another recession. They also
say the publics share 39 percent of
the estimated total cost is higher

supporters say thats on par with the
breakdown at recently built Dallas and

cost of traveling to matches.
Surinames World Cup journey ended in
June 2015 immediately after entering in
the second round of CONCACAF qualifying. The first seven CONCACAF teams
were eliminated back in March 2015. Its
so long ago that Montagliani is the third
president CONCACAF has had during
qualifying for the 2018 tournament.
Former CONCACAF head Jeffrey Webb
was first arrested as part of the sprawling
American investigation into soccer corruption in May 2015 and his temporary
replacement, Alfredo Hawit, was indicted
seven months later. Montagliani said
CONCACAF competitions and the interests of teams were neglected in an era
when the leadership was motivated by
corruptly extorting money from the confederation and its commercial backers.
Can you imagine you are a country trying to find a sponsor and they say, Im all
for it, whens your next big game? And
its three years from now, Montagliani
said during an interview in London. ... So
we seriously need to look at our World Cup
qualifying system that is a bit archaic. We
need to be a bit more all-encompassing.
Were looking at how we balance competitions with our commercial (priorities)
without putting too much stress on
already too busy calendars as well.

OT goal in preseason action

In Anaheim, California, Corey Perry scored unassisted at

Ducks a 3-2 victory over the Sharks.
Jakob Silfverberg scored twice for the
Ducks, including the tying goal at 10:18

David Schlmeko added a goal, and Aaron
Dell stopped 22 shots.

Adelson has resisted unionization

efforts at his casinos. But theyre
going against other labor supporters,
including the Laborers Union, which
is eager for the thousands of construction jobs the projects are expected to

Nevadas 63 lawmakers are supposed
to meet in a special session starting

Tongas arrival at Sequoia has

lost both their standout defensive
ends from a year ago James
Lilomaiava and PAL Lake Division
Defensive Lineman of the Year
Lani Mauisa each of whom were
juniors, but moved out of the area
prior to this season, leaving
White to only dream about the
possibilities this season.
And if we would have had
[Tonga] at DT, are you kidding
me? White said.
I was upset (about Tongas
departure), White said. I liked
him a lot. It was too bad. The
guy is a really good football
player. Hed be really helping us
both sides of the ball right now.
Both Tongas fumble recovery

and sack Friday came at critical

times as well. With South City
taking a 14-7 lead into halftime,
the Warriors opened the second
half by driving into Sequoia territory. On third-and-5 from the
Cherokees 46, however, the
Warriors lost the handle on a
sweep play and Tonga was there
to pounce on the loose ball.
Sequoia turned around and marched
seven plays for a score to tie the
game 14-14.
Then with the Warriors attempting to mount a last-ditch comeback effort trailing 28-14 with
4:05 to play, senior defensive
tackle Jackson Hohe opened the
possession with a batted pass.
And with South City able to
advance only on a 15-yard pass
interference penalty, Tonga nished the possession with a sack,
with junior linebacker PJ Lopez
leading the way.
[Lopez] pushed him out of the
pocket and I just followed him
and got the sack, Tonga said. I
feel that sealed the deal.

where anybody else is looking, Im

focusing only on home plate.
Aroldis, he looks at the hitter,
Rondon added, like hes showing
who is in charge.
Chapman comes by that toughness honestly. Hes the son of a
boxing coach who didnt take up
baseball until he was 13. But he was
selected to Cubas vaunted national
team at age 17 and was a bona fide
star soon after, thanks to a breakout
performance at the 2007 Pan Am
Games. A year later, he made his first
attempt to defect.
The Chicago Tribune reported last
week that after Chapman was caught
trying to escape, he cooperated with
the Cuban government in the prosecutions of four men accused of offering to smuggle him out. All four

were convicted of human trafficking

and sent to prison; two alleged in a
2013 lawsuit that Chapman was an
informant for Fidel Castro and
should be held responsible for their
torture while in prison.
The newspaper also said
Chapmans cooperation allowed
him to return quickly to the national
team. In the summer of 2009, while
in Netherlands for a game, he took
advantage of that reprieve and
defected. Chapman hasnt addressed
the newspapers report, but he told
The New York Times earlier this year
he isnt interested in rehashing the
past.
That likely includes Game 2 of the
2010 NLDS, when Chapman
allowed 3 runs all unearned,
thanks to miscues by the Reds out-

fielders against the Phillies in

what turned out to be a three-game
sweep. Ditto for the skull fracture he
suffered after being struck by a line
drive in a March 2014 spring training game against the Royals.
Few things serve a closer better
than a short memory. Chapman
checks that box, too. Big as the
moments he experienced this weekend and in postseasons past may
have seemed, he cant wait to find
out whats next.
In Cincinnati, maybe the crowds
werent the same, Chapman said
finally. But already, I love this.

Girl on the Train steamrolls Parkers Birth of a Nation

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Propelled by the

popularity of Paula Hawkins bestseller, the fast-tracked big-screen
adaptation of The Girl on the
Train led North American theaters
in ticket sales with $24.7 million,
according to studio estimates
Sunday. Less successful was Nate
Parkers Nat Turner biopic The
Birth of a Nation, which moviegoers largely greeted with a shrug

after a 17-year-old rape allegation

resurfaced against its star and
director.
The Girl on the Train, a psychological thriller starring Emily
Blunt, appealed significantly to
female moviegoers, who made up
68 percent of the audience, according to the films distributer,
Universal Pictures. The film,
directed by Tate Taylor (The
Help), is about an alcoholic suburbanite woman who becomes

signals anything from fear to
anger to territoriality. And a spitty

is clear warning of nails and teeth
soon to follow (I suggest paying
heed).
Chirrups are those rolling purrs

an economically feasible, and environmentally
beneficial, project.
Although a treatment plant was initially
considered almost a decade ago, the yearslong drought may be bolstering renewed
interest in making the most of the scarce
resource.
As all things in California, when water
is plentiful we dont always plan ahead. So I
think the drought is bringing it up again;
how important it is to use whatever
resources we have more effectively. So that
is, perhaps, why the conversation is starting up again. But the water industry as a
whole, has always been looking at how do
we use this valuable resource, said Beverli
Marshall, general manager of the sewer
authority.

From the toilet to the putting green

Under a joint powers agreement, a recycled water treatment plant would be located
next to the sewage treatment plant on the
authoritys Half Moon Bay property. The
water district would be responsible for a
conveyance system and selling as well as
distributing the treated reuse to customers,

PLAN
Continued from page 1
An estimated 70 percent of those who commute to work in the county drive alone and by
2040, there will be an increase of an estimated 116,000 car trips from those commuting
solo or via a rideshare. Outside of heading to
work, only about 47 percent of people drive
when traveling around San Mateo County,
according to the draft.
It tells me, as someone who works in a
transportation agency, that we should target
or focus on reducing congestion by reducing
commute trips, Wong said.
The plan suggests engaging employers to
implement trip-reduction programs, allow
more workers to telecommute and even charging more for parking or carpool lanes during
peak travel times.
Expanding highways to account for cars is
neither economically nor geographically feasible throughout most of the county.
Therefore, promoting mass transit and using
technology to improve mobility is key,
according to the draft.
The plan seeks to outline policies other
cities can draw from when seeking to get drivers out of their cars. Suggestions include identifying priority development areas near
mass transit where an increase in density can
reduce automobile use, implementing transportation demand management plans and
resolving that last mile connection that
frequently discourages commuters from using
public transit.
Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit,
SamTrans, shuttles and ferry service are all
modes the plan hopes to promote in an effort
to curb trips generated by an increase in population and jobs. New options are also mentioned, such as high-speed rail joining an
electrified Caltrain, having dedicated bus
lanes along El Camino Real, and fixing up the
Dumbarton rail bridge.
But with the average San Mateo County
household owning 2.7 cars and there being
more registered vehicles than licensed drivers, streets and highways remain in high
demand. In 2013, the countys estimated
2,100 miles of roads accommodated nearly
18.7 million vehicle miles traveled every
day, according to the plan.
Based on 2015 monitoring, almost a dozen
high-traffic road segments received an F grade
during peak travel times. Perhaps unsurprisingly to regular commuters, many of the segments are along Highway 101 and connector
freeways that lead to Interstate 280 and the
East Bay.
With the countys population expected to
increase by 159,000 residents and another
70,000 jobs added by 2040, the plan recommends cities and the county continue to consider denser housing and employment centers
as a way to address transportation.
Given the severity of existing imbalances
in jobs and housing in San Mateo County and

Marshall said.
Currently, Ocean Colony Partners, owner
of Half Moon Bay Golf Links, is looking to
buy the recycled water to irrigate its expansive green next to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Using an average of 500,000 gallons per
day, the pristinely manicured grass could be
fed by a portion of the nearly 1.2 million
gallons of sewage the authority treats every
day.
Ideally, the plant operations will be flexible enough to reduce output when demand is
lower, Marshall said.
Since the agencies last considered the
project, advanced technologies have
become more affordable. Microfiltration,
UV treatment, reverse osmosis and possibly
other treatment options will be studied.
Although reverse osmosis was initially
determined to be cost prohibitive, the
growth in recycled water markets has made
the technology more affordable in recent
years. And, its now a requirement of Ocean
Colony Partners, according to a Half Moon
Bay city staff report.
A lot of agencies, if theyre not already
doing it, theyre looking into it, Marshall
said. Its sort of the cost effectiveness of it
is what its driven by, and are there end
users?
Ensuring the treated water is available at a
cheaper rate, or at a minimum the same price
as traditional potable water, is critical to
the projected growth, achieving a better balance may yield transportation benefits,
according to the plan. And an imbalance in
housing prices and worker incomes has contributed to some of the highest levels of inand out-commuting in the Bay Area.
By 2040, an estimated 448,000 people will
travel into or out of San Mateo County every
day, a 24 percent increase, according to the
plan.
While the plan uses historic averages and
future predictions, there may also be technological advancements that impact the way
people move.
Ridesharing such as Uber or more informal
carpooling is becoming more popular.
Younger generations are opting not to own
cars while a growing senior population may
rely more on mass transit. Plus, autonomous
vehicles, albeit some years away from largescale adoption, will also influence commuters
habits, according to the plan.
Shared mobility, autonomous vehicles
all that is up and coming and we want to at
least recognize that that is a potential technology that is going to be evolving and may
be available in the next few years, said John
Hoang, project manager for the countywide
transportation plan.
But while a future of connected driverless
vehicles is on its way to becoming more than
a pipe dream, Wong and Hoang said there are
other technologies already being implemented on San Mateo County roads.
The countywide transportation plan does
not lay out specific capital improvement
projects, but one example of a recently completed initiative that drew from the last plan
is C/CAGs Smart Corridor Project.
The $35 million project is wrapping up and
focused on using technology to enhance
mobility along El Camino Real, Wong said.
Although most of the improvements are
invisible to the general public such as
installing underground fiber optics and
upgrading traffic lights to allow remote control based on real-time needs theyre
improvements that will allow transit engineers to adapt to future conditions, Wong
said.
As officials get ready to celebrate the completion of the Smart Corridor Project, the public is encouraged to weigh in on how to best
support future transportation needs. C/CAG
will incorporate the community input into a
final countywide transportation plan expected
for release early next year, Hoang said.
Although the document is inherently based on
transportation, it could one day have broader
influence on how San Mateo County grows.
The more overarching goals are to integrate different modes of transportation,
improve mobility, reduce congestion and
speak to how transportation and land use need
to sync up with each other, Wong said, also
noting C/CAGs role is to promote a more
consistent approach.

securing customers.
This week, the Half Moon Bay City
Council agreed to offer up more money to
fund the initial 25 percent design phase that
will help determine the financial feasibility
of treating recycled water on the coast.
During a meeting last month,
Councilwoman Marina Fraser noted while
questions remain as to how the project
would ultimately be funded, its critical that
other ratepayers dont end up on the hook.
But with the golf course serving as a critical
economic driver for the city and residents
having done their best to adapt to the
drought, recycled water is the next logical
step.
I think the whole coastside community
has done a wonderful job with conservation.
Were all doing so much and theres a
finite amount that can be done, so the next
piece is, where is the biggest piece of
grass? Fraser said, according to a video of
the meeting.
Councilman John Muller, a local pumpkin farmer, noted he hopes recycled water
might one day be available and affordable
for use on local agricultural lands a
prospect considered during the 2010 plan.

authority board are expected to receive the

25 percent design report with opportunities
for public comment and to provide feedback
before further work is conducted.
But so far, officials with the three agencies are eager to proceed. Marshall said
costs will be determined through the design
phase. However rough estimates are
between $5 million to $10 million, likely
not including the water districts costs related to construction of a delivery system. The
agencies will have to try and secure grant
funding or loans to support construction,
she said.
Theres also the fact that recycling water
promotes self-sufficiency a major benefit
to a region thats on the very tail end of the
regions supply chain.
As most in San Mateo County are served
by the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commissions Hetch Hetchy Reservoir system, water travels vast distances before
coming out of a Half Moon Bay faucet.
Were so dependent on outside
resources, Marshall said. For the ability
to be sustainable, it would be really beneficial to have access to our own water source,
which recycled water would give us.

STATION
Continued from page 1
Mayor Joe Goethals said he expects the
new station to be a benefit to the city
and the region.
The future Hillsdale Caltrain Station
will be sight to see. Its really going to
[support] a huge increase in ridership,
Goethals said. Its near the intersection
of [State Route] 92 going across the Bay
and the access to other freeways, and
SamTrans along El Camino Real. I certainly hope that it becomes that transit
hub for the mid-Peninsula, because the
more people that take public transit, the
better off traffic patters can be.
Engineers are continuing to finalize
the design of the project where ground is
expected to be broken in early 2017 and
construction completed by 2019,
according to the city.
What will happen to the existing station once the new one opens for business? Its not yet clear but officials will
evaluate it as part of Caltrains real
estate assets, according to April Chan,
the chief officer of planning and grants
with the TA.
Its not out of character for the transit
agency to reuse its sites. The transit
agency is currently in the process of
planning for a housing redevelopment
atop a portion of its surface parking lot
at the Hayward Park station and is pursuing a transit village project in San
Carlos.
The existing 25th Avenue intersection was listed by the California Public
Utilities Commission as number eight

Continued from page 1
interest in a workforce housing initiative and results from the poll are expected to be released later this month.
Bonini though said early indications
show support for the proposal from
members of the district teachers union
and other workers.
We are just exploring options that
might exist and wanted to know whether
our teachers are interested in that, and
the initial impressions have been positive, she said.
The districts examination of affordable workforce housing joins the ongoing effort of a variety of other school
systems such as the San Mateo Union
High and South San Francisco Unified
school districts.
High school district officials are
exploring the opportunity to build
housing developments on the campuses
of Mills and Peninsula Alternative high
schools, while a recent survey of district

projects, and will also create new crossings at 28th and 31st avenues. Goethals
said the project will not only enhance
safety, it will help connect neighborhoods to shopping and recreation
such as tying the massive Bay Meadows
mixed-use redevelopment to the
Hillsdale Shopping Center and the
Beresford neighborhood to the new park
at the former race track.
With the transit-oriented redevelopment of Bay Meadows expected to bring
increased traffic to the area, the grade
separations will improve local circulation and eliminate the possibility for
cars and trains to collide at these crossings, Chan said.
San Mateos project which has
been touted as a model for how these
costly grade separations should be funding draws from various city, county
and state sources. The California HighSpeed Rail Authority agreed in August to
offer up $84 million, San Mateo is kicking in $6 million, and another $10 million is sought from the California
Department of Transportation, or
Caltrans.
With job and population growth surging in the Bay Area and the Peninsula
struggling to keep up with housing,
more and more local officials as well as
transportation experts have urged for
congestion relief projects to proceed.
Caltrain, which is already experiencing
record-breaking ridership with an average of almost 60,000 daily commuters,
is hoping its electrification will help
ease the crunch. That nearly $2 billion
project could also help set the stage for
the states bullet train, which is slated to
share 51 miles of track between San
Jose and San Francisco.
Caltrain has awarded engineer design

contracts, but is still awaiting word on

its application for $647 million in federal funding before giving the green
light to begin construction. On
Thursday, it received some positive
news from the state, as it was awarded a
$20 million grant set aside for projects
that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Once electrification is complete, and
if the controversial high-speed rail
makes its debut here, commuters could
be riding an estimated 10 trains per hour
in each direction.
The increase has cities segmented by
the rail line hoping they can pursue
their own grade separation projects. But
cost can be an impediment and its not
yet clear how much high-speed rail will
allocate.
Representatives with the high-speed
rail authority have praised San Mateos
approach, which included cobbling
together funding and having the city
take the initiative or lead on the project.
Goethals noted the project has been
nearly 15 years in the making and took
the dedication of city staff to gathering
funds from various state and county partners.
He praised cities that have made similar improvements in the past and
expressed support for those seeking
future grade separations.
I commend any community that had
the foresight to already get their grade
separations Belmont, South San
Francisco, San Bruno. They acted at the
right time and their success should be
commended, Goethals said. Because I
know how hard it is and how miraculous
it is when you get all these funding
sources together. Grade separations are
incredibly expensive.

showed a majority of those polled would

be interested in living in such a development.
The local leader in the field though is
the San Mateo County Community
College District, which has built workforce housing on two campuses and
plans for a third in the works.
Community college district officials
have said they believe the projects to be
a tremendous asset in attracting and
retaining local educators and staff who
may be inclined to seek jobs in other
areas, if not for being offered workforce
housing.
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District officials are set to attend
a conference later this month hosted by
the community college district designed
to illustrate the details of constructing
such projects.
Bonini acknowledged the districts
interest is part of a larger, regional
effort to make housing affordable for
public employees as other public agencies have also discussed similar initiatives.
Should the opportunity be presented,
Bonini said should would favor the
opportunity to collaborate with another

local agency in the development of a

staff housing project, but the district
should make its best effort to appeal to
the housing needs of its workers.
It could be that this is a collaborative
effort, but in lieu of that, we feel we have
to take action if we can, if it is supported, said Bonini.
The affordability crisis plaguing the
area has wreaked havoc on attempts by
the school officials to hire quality educators, said Bonini, as some who
intended to join the district have backed
out of their contract at the last minute
after dipping into the expensive local
housing market.
She said the affordability concern is
so widespread for teachers, many are
picking up and heading to other states
rather than fighting to survive along the
Peninsula.
In all, with the expectation of the district to offer the best education to local
students, Bonini said she felt it is the
obligation of the officials to take the
steps necessary to address the concerns
of talented teachers and other workers.
It would behoove us to help us retain
our teachers, she said. That is one of
our highest goals as a district to have.

into how you earn your living. Be aggressive, but

interests. Getting together socially with peers will help

good. Dont wait for someone else to start things when
you can become the instigator and lead the way. Less
talk and more action will pay off.

San Mateo Daily Journal

The future of local news content is actually
right here in the present, as it has been for
centuries The local community newspaper.
We ignore the naysayers and shun the
"experts" when it comes to the "demise" of the
newspaper industry.
The leading local daily news resource for the
SF Peninsula seeks an entreprenuerial
Advertising Account Exec to sell advertising
and marketing solutions to local businesses.
We are looking for a special person to join our
team for an immediate opening.
You must be community-minded, actionoriented, customer-focused, and without fail, a
self starter. You will be responsible for sales
and account management activities associated
with either a territory or vertical category. You

Experience with print advertising and online

marketing a plus. But we will consider a
candidate with little or no sales experience as
long as you have these traits:
- Hunger for success
- Ability to adapt to change
- Prociency with computers and comfort
with numbers
- General business acumen and common
sense marketing abilities
Join us, if you check off on these qualities and
also believe in the future of newspapers.
Please email your resume to
ads@smdailyjournal.com
A cover letter with your views on the newspaper
industry would also be helpful.

Trump denies actions he bragged about on tape

By Julie Pace and Lisa Lerer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS In a debate filled with tension, Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton
of attacking women involved in her husbands marital affairs and declared she would
be in jail if he were president. Staring
icily at her Republican rival, Clinton said
Trumps own aggressively vulgar comments about women had revealed exactly
who he is.
Sunday nights debate was the culmination of a stunning stretch in the race for the
White House, which began with the release
of a new video in which Trump is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to do
anything to women. A flood of
Republicans revoked their support, with
some calling for him to drop out of the race.
Answering for his words for the first time,
Trump denied that he had ever kissed and
grabbed women without their consent. He
said repeatedly that his words in 2005 were
merely locker room talk and paled in comparison to what he called Bill Clintons
abuse of women.
She should be ashamed of herself,
Trump declared. Ahead of the debate, the
businessman met with three women who
accused the former president of sexual
harassment and even rape, then invited
them to sit in the debate hall.
Bill Clinton never faced any criminal
charges in relation to the allegations, and a
lawsuit over an alleged rape was dismissed.
He did settle a lawsuit with one of the
women who claimed harassment.
On the debate stage, Clinton did not
respond directly to Trumps accusations
about her husband or her own role, but was
blistering in her condemnation of his
predatory comments about women in the
tape released Friday.
I think its clear to anyone who heard
him that it represents exactly who he is,
she said, adding that she did not believe

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reacts as Republican presidential nominee

Donald Trump responds to a question about his remarks about women during their presidential town hall debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri Sunday.
Trump had the fitness to serve as commander in chief.
The second debate was a town hall format,
with several undecided voters sitting on
stage with the candidates. The voters, all
from the St. Louis area, were selected by
Gallup.
The tension between Trump and Clinton
was palpable from the start of their 90minute debate, the second time they have
faced off in the presidential campaign. They

did not shake hands as they met at center

stage.
Trump, who is nearly a foot taller than
Clinton, stood close behind her as she
answered questions from the voters. At
other times, he paced the stage and repeatedly interrupted her.
Ahead of the event, Trump brazenly met
publicly with several women who have
accused Bill Clinton of unwanted sexual
advances and even rape.
Trump refused to answer questions from
reporters about his own aggressive sexual
remarks about women during the meeting in
a hotel conference room with Paula Jones,
Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey.
Kathy Shelton, a fourth woman who
appeared with Trump, was a 12-year-old
Arkansas sexual assault victim whose
alleged assailant was defended by Hillary

Clinton.
Some of the women seated alongside him,
however, were graphic in their accusations
against the Clintons.
Mr. Trump may have said some bad
words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary
Clinton threatened me, Broaddrick said. I
dont think theres any comparison.
Broaddrick, a former Arkansas nursing
home administrator, first claimed 17 years
ago that Bill Clinton raped her during a
meeting in Little Rock in 1978. Her lawsuit
against him was dismissed in 2001 and
criminal charges were never filed. Clinton
has denied the allegations.
Trump is trying to change the subject
from his own conduct. Even before Fridays
new revelations of his sexual remarks about
women, his campaign was slumping. But
the release of the 2005 video has some leading Republicans convinced the damage is
insurmountable.
The political firestorm was sparked by a
2005 video obtained and released Friday by
The Washington Post and NBC News. In the
video, Trump, who was married to his current wife at the time, is heard describing
attempts to have sex with a married woman.
He also brags to Billy Bush of Access
Hollywood about women letting him kiss
them and grab their genitals because he is
famous.
NBC said Sunday that it had indefinitely
suspended Bush, now a Today show personality, for his role in the crude conversation with Trump.
Trumps own running mate, Indiana Gov.
Mike Pence, has declared he could neither
condone nor defend the remarks in the video
revealed on Friday.
Other Republicans have taken the
extraordinary step of revoking support for
their partys nominee. Among them: Ohio
Sen. Rob Portman, New Hampshire Sen.
Kelly Ayotte both are running for re-election and the partys 2008 nominee,
Arizona Sen. John McCain. Some called on
Trump to quit the race.
Trumps troubles have almost completely
overshadowed the release of hacked emails
from the Clinton campaign that revealed
the contents of previously secret paid
speeches to Wall Street. Clinton told
bankers behind closed doors that she
favored open trade. Such remarks were at
odds with her tough public comments.
