Shrinking enrollment drives school budget gap

County officials advise Redwood City educators to be cautious with limited funding
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An exodus of students is costing Redwood

City school sizable sums of money, according to a recent county report examining the
grim state of the districts finances.
The Redwood City Elementary School
District Board of Trustees will receive
Wednesday, Oct. 19, a report from the San
Mateo County Office of Education looking

into a nearly $2.6 million operating deficit
and more projected budget hardships in
coming years.
The primary driver of the financial woes,
according to the report, is a dwindling population shrinking ever smaller as more district students leave traditional comprehensive schools in favor of local charter
schools.
With fewer students comes less money

allocated to the district by the state according to average daily attendance rates, causing county officials to urge fiscal conservatism.
The county superintendent strongly
encourages school districts to continue to
prudently manage district resources and
maintain healthy reserves to ensure fiscal
stability and prevent disruption of school
operations and educational programs for

students, according to the letter signed by
county deputy superintendents Denise
Porterfield and Gary Waddell. The office of
the county superintendent is mandated under
state law to review and approve each local
districts adopted budget for the year.

how large should single-family homes be?
City Hall is expected to draw a crowd Tuesday night as the
Planning Commission reviews a proposal to increase the
cap on maximum single-family home sizes. Its the fourth
installment of Belmonts controversial changes to rules on
how property owners can remodel.
The proposal is to increase the citywide maximum to
allow 5,000-square-foot homes, depending on the size and
slope of a property. Currently, the city has 3,500-squarefoot and 4,500-square-foot caps depending on locale,
according to a staff report.
The issue has roused opposition from some residents who
are concerned increasing the maximum home size could lead

Barack Obama greets students after speaking about education during a visit to Benjamin Banneker Academic High School.
U.S. high school graduation rate

hits record high of 83.2 percent
By Kevin Freking
WASHINGTON The nations high

school graduation rate has reached a
record 83. 2 percent, continuing a
steady increase that shows improvement across all racial and ethnic
groups, according to federal data
released Monday.
President Barack Obama welcomed
the higher rate as good news, but the
gains come against a backdrop of
decreasing scores on national math
and reading tests.
Education Secretary John B. King Jr.
acknowledged worries about sagging
achievement. A higher graduation
rate is meaningful progress, but certainly we share the concern that we
have more work to do to make sure
every student graduates ready for
whats next, he said.
Obama visited Benjamin Banneker
Academic High School, a magnet
school in the District of Columbia, to
tout the graduation rate for the 201415 school year.
More AfricanAmerican and Latino students are grad-
uating than ever before, he said.

Gains also were seen for disabled students and those from low-income families.
The District of Columbia made the
most progress in the U.S. in 2014-15
compared to the previous year,
improving its graduation rate by 7 percentage points.
Obama applauded the high school
for graduating all its seniors. Its
been a while since I did math, but 100
percent is good. You cant do better
than that, Obama told the audience,
which included King, former Education
Secretary Arne Duncan, Mayor Muriel
Bowser and former Secretary of State
Colin Powell.
At the same time, he also warned the
students they would need more than a
high school diploma to succeed in
todays job market. He said that repetitive work done in factories or offices
can now be done by machine. They
would need critical thinking skills.
We live in a global economy,
Obama said. And the best jobs are
going to go to the people who are the
best educated, whether in India or

China, or anywhere in the world.

Before the president spoke, King
said the graduation rate was more than
just a number. It represents real students in real cities, towns and rural
communities who are better prepared
for success in college and careers,
King said during a conference call with
reporters.
The administration said the graduation rate has increased by about 4 percentage points since the 2010-2011
school year. Obama frequently cites
the increase when he talks to groups
about progress made during his presidency.
Despite the increase in the graduation rate, test scores are declining.
Last year, math scores for fourth and
eighth graders dropped for the first
time in 25 years on the 2015 National
Assessment of Educational Progress
also known as the Nations Report
Card. Reading scores were not much
better: flat for fourth graders and lower
for eighth graders compared with
2013. Average scores on SAT and ACT
college entrance exams have also
shown declines.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. Authorities are investigating

after a local Republican Party office in North Carolina was
vandalized and set on fire in what a state GOP official called
an act of political terrorism.
A bottle filled with flammable liquid was thrown through
the window of the Orange County Republican Party headquarters overnight, damaging the interior before burning
out, according to a Sunday news release from the town of
Hillsborough. The office was empty and no one was injured.
Also, someone spray-painted Nazi Republicans leave
town or else on a nearby wall.
There were no new developments overnight in the investigation, Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton said in
an email Monday morning.
The violent act in the key battleground state has been
condemned by public figures across the political spectrum.
A tweet from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton on Sunday said the attack is horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful that everyone is safe. An hour later,
Trump tweeted: Animals representing Hillary Clinton and
Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in
Orange County because we are winning.
The North Carolina GOP tweeted thanks to both Clinton
and Trump for their words of support.
In tweets of their own, North Carolinas Republican Gov.
Pat McCrory and his Democratic challenger, state Attorney
General Roy Cooper both described the violence as a threat
to democracy.
I will use every resource as governor to assist local
authorities in this investigation, McCrorys added, and
Coopers said the culprits must be caught and brought to
justice.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
was working with local investigators to solve the crime,
which was discovered Sunday morning by another business
owner.

A woman struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in
Millbrae Saturday morning has been identified as 73year-old Lillian Garcia of San Mateo County, according to
the San Francisco medical examiners office.
Garcia died at San Francisco General Hospital after
being struck by a motorist on Rollins Road near Adrian
Road at about 7 a.m., according to San Mateo County
sheriffs officials.
Deputies were not able to find the vehicle they suspect
of hitting Garcia, but they believe there were at least five
other vehicles in the area at the time whose drivers or passengers might have seen something.
Additionally, investigators found surveillance images
showing two vehicles may have been in a good position
to witness the incident.
The first was described as possibly a white Chevrolet
pickup truck with a camper shell and business markings
on the tailgate and rear of the camper shell. The second
vehicle was described as possibly a Toyota or similar
white midsize king cab pickup truck with black bed liner,

The Half Moon Bay City Hall closed its doors for renovations Monday but city staff will continue to work out of

The renovations include a new layout that will end the
use of hallways and common areas for storage, allow
some workers to move out of a conference room into a
permanent office space and upgrade the front counter to
provide disabled access, among other things, according
to city officials.
City staff will operate out of the citys emergency operations center at 537 Kelly Ave. until the renovations are
complete, likely by the end of November, according to
city officials.
Currently, staff from the citys Finance and

but the clerks office will move back to City Hall once it
reopens.
People who have business with the Building, Planning

Melania Trump does not

believe husbands accusers
By Jonathan Lemire
NEW YORK Melania Trump on

Monday dismissed her husbands sexually aggressive language as boy
talk, insisting his remarks do not
reflect the man I know, and said she
does not believe that he has assaulted
any women.
Trumps wife, in a series of media
interviews, said she has accepted her
husbands apology and the couple is
moving on. The comments come
more than a week after the release of a
2005 video in which Trump brags
about kissing women and grabbing
their genitals without their permission.
I said to my husband that, you
know, the language is inappropriate.
Its not acceptable. And I was surprised, because that is not the man
that I know, she told CNN.
She suggested that Trump may not
have known his microphone was on,
calling it kind of a boy talk that
Acces s Ho l l y wo o d h o s t Bi l l y

claimed in recent days that Trump

Al was born Jan. 13, 1925, in
Franklin, Kansas. His family moved to
Highwood, Illinois, where he grew up

earning a Silver Star. Upon his discharge, he reunited with Betty and they
were married in 1948.
In 1960, he moved his family to

very active in St. Pius Parish, earning
the Ralph Luchessi award for his service. Al worked as a cement mason and a

Clinton expands campaign to red states

Hillary Clinton is advancing into
states the Democrats havent won in
decades, confidently expanding her
offensive against Donald Trump and
aiming to help her party win back control of Congress.
Theres a new $2 million push in
Arizona, aides said Monday, including
a campaign stop in Phoenix by first
lady Michelle Obama, one of
Clintons most effective surrogates.
An additional $1 million is going into
efforts in Missouri and Indiana, both

new signs of confidence, she faced

fresh revelations about her use of a private server as secretary of state and
hacked emails from a top campaign
officials personal account. FBI
records released Monday show that a
senior State Department official unsuccessfully sought to lower the classification level of an email found on the
server, a move Trumps campaign
labeled collusion.
The new questions highlight a dual
reality of the presidential race: Even as
Clinton has a growing advantage,
shes been unable to put the biggest
controversy of her campaign behind
her.
With her lead increasing, Clinton is
unlikely to need any of the normally
solid-red states to win the White
House. But her team believes that a
wide presidential margin of victory
would help end Trumps political
movement and undermine his intensi-
fying claims that the election is

rigged.
On the other side, Trumps campaign
dramatically expanded its ad buys in
seven battleground states and
announced plans to launch a $2 million advertising blitz in long-shot
Virginia.
Donald Trump is becoming more
unhinged by the day, and that is
increasing prospects for Democrats
further down the ballot, said Clinton
campaign manager Robby Mook, who
cited early voting and registration
numbers to predict record voter turnout
Democrats arent the only targets of
Trumps rhetoric about the legitimacy
of the election system.
In a Monday morning blitz of
tweets, he lashed out at Republicans
who have tried to tone him down, calling his own partys leaders so naive
and claiming without evidence that
major fraud is real.
WASHINGTON A senior State Department official

asked the FBI last year to help reduce the classification of
an email from Hillary Clintons private server, according to
FBI investigative files made public Monday. It was to be
part of a bargain that would have allowed the FBI to deploy
more agents in foreign countries, according to the files.
It was not immediately clear whether the State
Department official or someone at the FBI first raised the
prospect of a bargain over the emails classification.
The bureau records, citing an FBI official whose name was
censored, said Undersecretary for Management Patrick F.
Kennedy sought assistance in exchange for a quid pro
quo.
But the FBI said Monday it was the now-retired FBI official who first asked Kennedy about deploying more agents
overseas. The State Department said the same.
This allegation is inaccurate and does not align with the
facts, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said
Monday. He said Kennedy had been trying to understand the
FBIs classification decisions, and added that there was
never an increase in the number of FBI agents assigned to
Iraq as a result of the conversations.
The FBI ultimately rejected the idea, which would have
allowed the State Department to archive a message related
to the 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in
Benghazi, Libya, in the basement of its Washington headquarters never to be seen again, according to the FBI
files.
The email described reports in November 2012 that
Libyan police were arresting suspects in the attack. It had
been forwarded to Clintons private email address by Jake
Sullivan, one of her top aides and the departments director
of policy planning, who was using his government email
account.
Republicans seized on the report as collusion within the
Obama administration to protect Clinton, now the
Democratic presidential nominee.

Mosul is more than

just a military battle
By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON More is riding on the

battle for Mosul than the recapture of the
Islamic State groups main stronghold in
northern Iraq. Also on the line is the
Obama administrations theory that the
extremists can be defeated in Iraq, Syria
and elsewhere without American ground
troops doing the fighting.
For more than two years, the administration has stuck to its argument that the only
path to a sustained victory over the Islamic
State group is for locals, not Americans or
other outsiders, to bear the main responsibility for the fighting and for governing
after the extremists are removed.
President Barack Obama has taken a lot
of political heat for that approach, which
critics say has allowed IS to expand its
international reach and influence.
The viability of Obamas strategy has
been widely doubted. In May 2015, after
months of U.S. bombings in Iraq and while
in the midst of Americans training and
advising Iraqi ground troops, the Iraqis
lost the city of Ramadi. Defense Secretary

By the end of the day Kurdish forces had
retaken some 200 square kilometers (80

Iraqs Kurdistan region. Peshmerga commanders on the ground estimated the offensive retook nine villages and pushed the

Mosul is different, not least because it is
the place where Islamic State leaders in
2014 announced their intent to create an
Islamic-run state after taking a large swath
of Iraq and Syria in a lightning surge.
White House press secretary Josh
Earnest on Monday called Mosul a new

And though some troops were less than
30 kilometers (20 miles) from Mosuls
edges, it was unclear how long it would
take to reach the city itself, where more
than 1 million people still live. Aid groups
have warned of a mass exodus of civilians
that could overwhelm refugee camps.
Iraqs second-largest city, Mosul fell to
IS in the summer of 2014 as the militants
swept over much of the countrys north and
central areas. Weeks later the head of the
extremist group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,
announced the formation of a self-styled
caliphate in Iraq and Syria from the pulpit
of a Mosul mosque.
If successful, the liberation of the city
would be the biggest blow yet to the
Islamic State group. After a string of victories by Iraqi ground forces over the past
year, IS now controls less than half the territory it once held, and Iraqi Prime
Minister Haider Al-Abadi has pledged the

fight for Mosul will lead to the liberation
of all Iraqi territory from the militants this
year.
Al-Abadi announced the start of the operation on state television before dawn
Monday, launching the countrys toughest
battle since American troops withdrew
from Iraq nearly five years ago.
These forces that are liberating you
today, they have one goal in Mosul, which
is to get rid of Daesh and to secure your dignity, al-Abadi said, addressing the citys
residents and using the Arabic acronym for
IS. God willing, we shall win.
In Washington, Defense Secretary Ash
Carter called the Mosul operation a decisive moment in the campaign to defeat IS.
The U.S. is providing airstrikes, training
and logistical support, but insists Iraqis
are leading the campaign. On Monday,
Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said a

Yes on Q
Editor,
First, let me say I have great landlords; I have many friends whom rent
from the LLCs or property management rms. Those folks do not have
any checks or balances, and they raise
rents, in some cases, every six months
and have no problem doing so. I have
lived here my whole life, I just think
there should be some fairness with us
renters. As far as affordable housing
goes, that will not help anyone at this
stage. Where are we going to build it?
Lets be sensible and vote yes on Q.

Measure Q is
selfish and irresponsible
Editor,
The Oct. 1 Daily Journal article The
divide of Measure Q: San Mateos rent
control tenant protection initiative
draws debate, makes one thing perfectly clear: Measure Q isnt a product
of our community or the result of collaboration.
Daniel Saver and Jennifer Martinez
made it obvious the initiative was written and promoted by out of town paid
activists exploiting our regions housing shortage to further the political
strength of themselves and their organizations. Lets not be fooled by these
outsiders telling us how to manage San
Mateos housing market or solve our
housing crisis.
Measure Qs advocates claim they
know whats best for our city. I question if its in our citys best interest to
have Saver, an East Palo Alto lawyer
and activist, draft, promote and force a
awed and punitive initiative with a
high price tag.
Measure Q will jeopardize our citys
budget, put our citys safety at risk and
put senior citizens in danger. Are the
risks worth the so-called rewards? The
answer is no. The opposition to
Measure Q is broad San Mateo residents, San Mateo civic leaders, San
Mateo community leaders, San Mateo
businesses and San Mateo community
organizations oppose Measure Q.
The article made it clear that there is
no broad community support for
Measure Q beyond paid activists looking to force their own agenda and
vision on our city. San Mateo is better
than this. Lets reject Measure Q.

Measure K confusing to voters

Editor,
My voter information pamphlet
arrived via U.S. Postal Service the
other day, and I just had the chance
review it. I found the argument in favor
of Measure K to be confusing. It states
that the proposed extension of the
countys half cent sales tax will help
low income families by providing
them with housing. Yet, not even an
outline of how that will happen is laid
out in the text of the measure, nor is it
made clear by the proponents in their
arguments.
The proponents of the tax also
insist, The time to address San Mateo
Countys affordability crisis is now.
How does continuing a sales tax, the
most regressive form of taxation that
there is, help the poor to live more
affordably? Thats just the government
taking money out of the pockets of the
poor to turn around and give it back to
them, after, of course, the government
has taken out its administrative and
overhead costs.
Ive already marked my sample ballot with a no for Measure K.

No on Measure I
Editor,
In response to Josh Powells letter to
the editor published Oct. 3, Powell
states that the Belmont city government is careful steward of our taxes,
frugal with its spending. Apparently
Josh has not seen the almost $1 million sidewalk x on Ralston Avenue. If
spending about $1 million to repair a
small section of sidewalk on Ralston
Avenue is frugal, maybe I should look
up the denition of frugal. I would only
hope the sidewalk is now ADA compliant and usable by the handicap citizens.This sidewalk repair is but one
exampleof why Belmont is in the
nancial mess it is in.
Vote No on Measure I. The citizens
of Belmont deserve toknow exactly
where every dollar of tax money is to
be spent.

Editor,
I am voting yes on Measure I because
I care about our aging infrastructure,
older roads and outdated storm drains,
not just locally in Belmont, but
nationally as well.
As someone who has been following
the presidential race closely, Mrs.
Clinton has saidif she is elected president, her administrationwill seek to
spend $250 billionover ve years on
repairing and improving the nations
infrastructure, including ports, roads,
bridges, energy systems and highspeed broadband and would put an additional $25 billion toward a national
infrastructure bank to spur related business investments. It is apparent that
our nations infrastructure has deteriorated. Now, the United States has more
people and a bigger economy. But relative to its gross domestic product, the
nation spends only about half as much
on infrastructure as it did during the
1950s and 60s.
The result is that, like the population
itself, Americas roads, bridges and
power plants are aging. Thats one reason the American Society of Civil
Engineers, in its most recentreport
card on infrastructure, gave the United
States a D-plus despite the extra infrastructure spending that owed from the
big 2009 economic recovery act.
Locally, our City Council in
Belmont inherited a $150 million
decaying infrastructure issue. Our roads
are rated the worst in San Mateo
County.No one likes to pay taxes;
however, we need to do our part in
Belmont to repair our aging infrastructure. Please vote yes on Measure I to
help repair Belmonts roads, x dilapidated deteriorating storm drains, maintain 911 response times and help manage trafc congestion.

Measure Ks vagueness
Editor,
Have you ever met a tax you did not
love? How can you recommend voting
for K given the vagueness of its purpose, and the huge amount of revenue
to be generated by a tax that, rightfully, should die a quiet death?
There should be no surprise that people can no longer remain in Northern
California with distorted thinking like
this. Give us taxpayers a break for a
change. Try it you might like it.

Choose empathy
I
magine a world in which fatal air strikes constantly

threaten the place you call home; a world in which
sleep is all but impossible under sporadic and deafening explosions; a world in which bright lights and impenetrable gun smoke blind any vision of starlight. Aware that
any moment could be your last, overwhelming fear and anxiety become chains of despair.
I wish I could tell you this was a ctional experience. In
fact, it is quite reective of Syrian-born 8-year-old Ayas
experience in war-torn Syria. Last week, a horric image
surfaced of young Aya, shocking the conscience of many
throughout the world. The image depicts a helpless, innocent and panicked young girl exerting every effort to
scream. Red streams journey from her forehead to her lips.
Covered in dust, her eyes appear to say that which she could
not express a cry for help to anyone who would listen.
The caption below the picture
explains that Aya cries out for her
missing father moments after an
air strike upon her home in
Talbiseh. Ayas tragedy is sadly
commonplace for her fellow
peers in Syria today.
I draw your attention to Ayas
horric experience for one purpose empathy. Empathy is
one of the single greatest virtues
of the human spirit. The term is
derived from t he Greek word
pathos. In its simplest translaJonathan Madison
tion, pathos is the ability to
share the emotional experience of another without actually
experiencing their reality. It is the idea that, on some level,
we can consciously discern anothers state of being through
solicitude the compassionate concern for others.
This explains our emotional gravitation to anothers joy;
such as witnessing a close friend or family member marry
their partner. Through pathos, we may also experience deep
pain or remorse for a beloved friend who has lost a loved
one. The fact that we need not actually experience the pain
of another and can nevertheless share their emotion on
some level is what makes us living, breathing, conscious
human beings. Without empathy, we are merely unconscious beings living blind to the concerns of others.
Contrary to popular opinion, vulnerability does not make
us weak; it is the strength that makes us most human.
I have never been more convinced that our societys
growing lack of empathy for human beings is the root
cause of many of the issues we face today. War-torn Syria is
only one of many nations we overlook as a lost cause.
The reality is that attacks perpetrated in wealthy, industrious societies in the Western world receive far more attention because they are far more rare. Freedom of expression
and basic safety from terrorist attacks are far better protected in the United States and amongst our Western allies than
in the war-torn regions of Africa and many developing
nations. As such, to witness the Sept. 11 attacks or to see
cartoonists brutally murdered in France is jarring and disrupts the daily, peaceful life that many of us have grown
accustomed. The Boston Marathon, Orlando shooting and
Newtown massacres are more recent, highly symbolic
examples of this for us. Few of us know what it is like to
live in constant fear in countries such as Syria, so we do
not know how to comprehend brutal attacks apart from
merely reading numbers on a page.
The lack of media coverage on such events should pose a
grave concern for us all as history has a crude way of repeating itself.
In 1994, you may recall a crisis that claimed the lives of
almost 1 million people within 100 days the Rwandan
genocide. For a grueling four-month period, an unfathomable number of innocent women and children were continuously murdered for one reason human indifference on
a global scale. Thats right. In large part due to the lack of
media coverage, hundreds were exterminated every day.
For more examples, look no further than Bangladesh,
East Timor and Cambodia in the 1970s; Guatemala in the
1980s; and most recently in Syria. In each instance, thousands of individuals have been exterminated for their identity. Thus, our world community has yet to come together to
mitigate the more recent acts of genocide that plague our
consciences and will continue to stain our history in the
years to come.
While I do not know that it is possible for us to prevent
the next genocide or humanitarian crisis abroad, I do know
that religious persecution is allowed to escalate when those
who witness it fail to do their part to identify and eliminate
it immediately. Let us remember that young Ayas experience could happen anywhere. We must remain collectively
conscious to empathize with every human life not just
those of the Western world.

Stock close modestly lower as energy prices fall

Major U.S. stock indexes closed modestly lower Monday, with some of the biggest
declines coming in oil and gas companies

Netflix tests limits of price

increases for original shows
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Netflix is testing the

financial limits of its streaming video service as the rising cost of producing original
programming pushes up subscription
prices.
The latest reminder came Monday with the
companys third-quarter earnings report,
which revealed that Netflix added 370,000
U.S. subscribers. That marks its second consecutive quarter of slowing U.S. growth
since lifting a two-year rate freeze and
increasing prices by as much as 20 percent
for more than 20 million existing subscribers.
While the latest quarterly subscriber gain
exceeded managements modest projections, it fell far below the 880,000 U.S. customers that Netflix picked up at the same
time last year. The deceleration occurred
even though the latest period included the
July debut of Stranger Things, which
turned into one of the summers surprise
hits.
Netflix is now faring far better overseas
as it tries to diversify its video library to
suit the tastes of 189 other countries. The
company added 3.2 million international
subscribers in the third quarter, surpassing
the 2.7 million it gained at the same time
last year when it was operating in about
Netflix beats
3Q forecasts
LOS GATOS Netflix Inc. on Monday

reported third-quarter profit of $51.5
million.
On a per-share basis, the Los Gatosbased company said it had net income of
12 cents.
The results topped Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of 16 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for earnings of 6 cents per
share.
The internet video service posted revenue of $2.29 billion in the period,
which also beat Street forecasts. Twelve
analysts surveyed by Zacks expected
$2.28 billion.
Netflix shares have fallen 13 percent
since the beginning of the year, while
130 fewer countries.
Investors were thrilled with the international progress and the better-than-expected
showing in the U.S. Netflixs stock surged
nearly 20 percent to $119.91 in extended
trading.
Factory production rebounded in September

WASHINGTON U. S. manufacturers
boosted output modestly last month, led by
greater production of construction supplies,
autos and petroleum products.
Factory production rose 0.2 percent in
September, following a decline of 0.5 percent in the previous month, the Federal
Reserve said Monday. The broader industrial
production category, which includes mining
and utilities, ticked up 0.1 percent.
Even with the gain, manufacturing output

has been flat in the past year. Factories have
been hit by several headwinds: weak business spending on machinery and other
equipment, a strong dollar that has made
U.S. goods more expensive overseas, and
sharp cutbacks in oil and gas drilling that
have lowered demand for pipeline and other
supplies.
Manufacturing output showed signs of life
in June and July but then fell back sharply
in August.

Vegas governor signs bill clearing way for NFL stadium

By Michelle Rindels
LAS VEGAS Nevadas governor signed

a bill Monday clearing the way for a Las
Vegas stadium that could be home to the
Raiders, although NFL owners still need to
approve the teams move from Oakland
before Sin City becomes a football town.
Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval and
Raiders owner Mark Davis joined hardhatwearing construction workers and mask-
wearing Raiders fans for

the ceremony at UNLV,
whose football team
would also use the
65,000-seat domed stadium. Cheerleaders shook
pompoms and a marching band launched into
Viva Las Vegas after
Sandoval inked the deal.

Las Vegas is ready for
this. Nevada is ready for this, Sandoval
said in an interview afterward. The best

brand on the planet is coming together with
one of the best brands in professional
sports. It is truly one of those situations
where 1+1(equals)3.
Nevada lawmakers narrowly approved a
deal in a special session last week that
increases hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area
to raise $750 million for a stadium and more
than $400 million to expand and upgrade
the Las Vegas Convention Center. In raw
dollars, its the largest public contribution
Smoot a smashing success

Athlete of the Week
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In the wake of Notre Dame-Belmont volleyballer Katie Smoot recording a seasonhigh 26 kills in last Thursdays sweep of
Menlo School, all she could do was be critical
of her performance.
A mere .288 hitting percentage matching her career high with 11 errors in
Smoots mind, there was a lot to improve
upon.
Because I was off my game, the rest of the
team stepped it up, Smoot said.
With the bad, however, came overwhelming good. Smoot had already recorded a
career-high 7.7 kills-per-set earlier in the
week in a three-set sweep at Mercy-San
Francisco. Against Menlo, the 6-foot senior
re-upped her career high with 8.7 kills-perset, earning her Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week honors.
Shes obviously an awesome player,
NDB setter Kristine Gese said. So off her
game is still pretty awesome.
Entering her fourth varsity season as a senior, Smoot set a lofty goal. After totaling 515
kills last year in leading the Tigers to the
Division IV state championship, she raised
the bar in setting out to surpass 600 kills this
season.
With three league matches and a tournament
still on the regular-season schedule, and with
as many as seven postseason matches to follow, Smoot is already three-quarters of the
way to reaching that goal with a current total
of 450 kills. Not only does that figure rank
first in the Central Coast Section, according
to MaxPreps.com, it is the second best in the
state. She also ranks first in CCS with 5.5
kills-per-set.
Such proficiency was the goal when NDB
head coach Jennifer Agresti moved Smoot to
the outside hitter position prior to last season. The front-row force began her varsity
career as a freshman middle blocker then
moved to opposite hitter as a sophomore.
The sheer power Smoot generates was tailor
made for the left side though, the reason
Agresti felt she had to move her to the outside.
Because she terminates the ball and I want
ever toward an NFL stadium, although the

publics share of the total costs 39 percent is on par with stadiums in other similarly sized cities.
Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon
Adelson is putting $650 million toward the
project, while the Raiders and the NFL will
kick in $500 million. Critics called the deal
a total scam, saying it prioritizes the
legacy project of one of the worlds richest

fter voting to add three-quarters

of a billion dollars to the construction of a football stadium
that would lure the Oakland Raiders to
town, Las Vegas has gone the route of far
too many municipalities that bend over
backward and sign bad deals to bring professional sports to town. As if the addition of a pro sports franchise raises the
value of the community.
Ha. If the city of Las Vegas and the
state of Nevada want to eece its citizens
to bring an NFL team to town, go for it.
Better you than me, thats for sure. As a
resident of Alameda County, Im still on
the hook for when the Raiders moved
back to Oakland.
Raiders fan or not,
it was a bad deal
then and continues
to be a bad deal. So
if there is a way I
can get away from
under paying for
professional football in Oakland
(and after typing
that sentence, I
realize just how
ludicrous it is. I
dont live in Oakland and Im not a particularly big fan of the team, yet money
is coming out my pocket to support it),
Im all for it.
Its not the amount I have to pay. From
what I can tell, its only a few bucks. But
its the principle of it. Why should I pay
for something that is of absolutely no
benet to me?
I just dont understand billionaires asking cities, counties and even states to
build Taj Mahals for these owners. I get
it, you dont get mega-rich by spending
billions of dollars on what amounts to a
really expensive toy, but asking communities to give up money for just about
anything else that is more important
than a football team is just galling.

Sharks flounder amid offensive fireworks vs. Rangers

By Denis P. Gorman
NEW YORK When the New York Rangers

selected Chris Kreider with the 19th pick in the
2009 draft, stardom was expected.
Entering his fourth NHL season, the left
wing may be beginning to live up to the projections as he lead the Rangers past the Sharks
7-4 Monday night.
Tied 1-1 early in the second period, New
York took the lead for good on Ryan Nashs
first of the season 4:15 of the period. The
sequence began when Rangers captain Ryan
McDonaghs shot ricocheted off the end
Rangers 7, Sharks 4
boards to Nash, who was in front of Martin
Jones net.
Jones finished with 22 saves.
The lead grew to 3-1 6:06 later when
Kreiders off-wing drive ticked off Jones stick
and into the net.
New York was 1 for 3 on the power play, and
San Jose was 1 for 4.
We are finding our way, Sharks coach Pete
DeBoer said of his specialty units. I probably
like our penalty kill better than our power
play.
Marc Staals one-timer 12:06 into the game
put the Rangers ahead 1-0.

Following Staals goal, though, the Sharks
outshot the Rangers 7-2 for the remainder of
the period, culminated by Logan Coutures 5on-3 power-play tap-in with 57.5 seconds left.
San Jose, which lost for the first time in
three games this season, cut the deficit to 3-2
on Brent Burns second of the season at 9:13 of
the third.
We had it early, then we didnt, said San
Jose captain Joe Pavelski, who finished with a
goal and three assists. We were chasing it a
little bit too much.
New York struck back quickly as Kevin

Hayes and Jimmy Vesey scored 21 seconds
apart to push the lead to 5-2. The goals were
the first of the season for both, and for Vesey,
the first of his NHL career.
The tack-on goals were significant as Burns
scored his second of the game 1:20 after Vesey
scored, followed by Pavelskis first of the season at 15:31.
Despite watching his team score three thirdperiod goals, DeBoer wasnt enthralled with
the Sharks performance.
We got what we deserved, DeBoer said.
The team that competed the hardest won and
thats the way it should be.

Kaepernick to remain starter

for 49ers despite shaky start
By Josh Dubow
KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman tackles Falcons receiver Taylor

Gabriel during Sundays game at CenturyLink Field.
Richard Shermans tirade

overshadows Seattles win
By Tim Booth
RENTON, Wash. In the future,

Seattle coach Pete Carroll would
prefer if Richard Sherman handled
his frustrations in a way that did
not result in an emotional eruption
on the sideline in the middle of a
game.
Shermans shouting match with
players and coaches became a
teaching moment for the Seahawks
on Monday, a day after Seattle rallied for a 26-24 win over Atlanta .
Carroll spent most of his
Monday availability talking about
emotions, philosophy and what
exactly transpired on Seattles
sideline that became as much of a
story as the Seahawks improving
to 4-1.
What I told the guys today was
theres going to always be things
that happen and were going to
learn if we can from the experiences that we have and those that
we draw from and get smarter and
more aware, were going to get better, Carroll said. It wound up
being an extraordinary positive for
our team that we could hang
through the rigors and the challenges against a terrific team and
find a way to win a football game.
Shermans tirade happened after
a blown coverage in Seattles secondary that allowed Julio Jones to
run uncovered down the sideline for
a 36-yard touchdown in the third

quarter. Sherman was livid, screaming at anyone within earshot on
the sideline and getting in the face
of anyone who tried to calm him
down. Earl Thomas, Michael
Bennett, Kam Chancellor and
Bobby Wagner all took turns trying to calm Sherman with little
success.
Carroll mostly stood back and
watched how his players handled
the situation.
I thought it was a marvelous job
of our guys showing who they are
and their resolve to make sure they
do what is right for our team,
Carroll said. It was impressive.
Carroll said it was miscommunication between Sherman and backup safety Kelcie McCary playing because Chancellor was injured
that led to Jones being wide
open. There were times last year
when the Seahawks had communication issues in their secondary
that led to uncovered receivers, but
they never resulted in a public
eruption like Shermans.
What was clear, to me, was that
Kam is a big factor, Carroll said.
We dont see that stuff. I cant
even remember a game where Kam
was playing. He has such a connection and the skill in communicating and all that. (Kelcie) couldnt
have that. He hasnt played enough
with our guys. Hes been there, but
its not the same.
SANTA CLARA Colin

Kaepernick showed flashes of the
quarterback he used to be in his first
start in nearly a year.
He used his athleticism to turn a
possible safety into a 10-yard run ,
connected on a deep touchdown
pass to Torrey Smith and scrambled
when he had no open receivers for a
29-yard gain .
But far too often in Sundays 4516 loss at Buffalo, Kaepernick
looked more like the quarterback
who lost his starting job a year ago
to Blaine Gabbert than the one who
went to a Super Bowl and NFC title
game in his first two years as
starter.
Kaepernick completed just 13 of
29 passes for 187 yards and missed
a handful of open receivers with offtarget throws as the 49ers (1-5)
scored a season-low 16 points on
the way to their first five-game losing streak in six years.
Despite all that, coach Chip
Kelly said he saw enough bright
spots to give Kaepernick another
shot on Sunday against Tampa Bay.
I think there are some things he
did on Sunday that you can build
upon, Kelly said Monday. For his
first extended playing time since
last year, I thought there were some
real positives there that we need to

continue to kind of try to build with
him and get him going.
After a promising start that
included scores on three of his first
four drives, including the 53-yard
touchdown pass to Smith,
Kaepernick generated very little
against a Buffalo defense content to
let him try to win from the pocket.
Kaepernick got worse as the day
went on, completing just 5 of 18
passes for 52 yards in the second
half and taking all three sacks as a

close game got out of hand in the
fourth quarter.
We didnt finish our drives,
Kaepernick said after the game. A
lot of those drives were finished
with field goals. If we finished
those with touchdowns, the outlook of the game is different and it
plays out differently. So that is

Oakland mayor still working Had a bad day yesterday, says Del Rio
tokeepRaiders from moving
By Josh Dubow
By Jeff Shuttleworth
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Oakland Mayor Libby

Schaaf says shes still working to build a new football
stadium for the Raiders in her
city even though Nevada
Gov. Brian Sandoval signed a
bill today thats aimed at luring the team to Las Vegas.
At a ceremony at the
University of Nevada at Las
Vegas, which would share a
proposed $1.9 billion stadium with the Raiders if its
built and the team moves,
Sandoval signed into law
legislation that authorizes
spending $750 million in
hotel room tax revenues to
help build a new stadium.
Nevadas Assembly voted
28-13 in favor of the bill on
Friday and the Nevada Senate
passed it by a 16-5 margin on
Thursday.
Raiders owner Mark Davis
has pledged to contribute
$500 million toward the cost
of building the stadium and
casino
owner
Sheldon
Adelson has promised to contribute an additional $650
million.
However, three-fourths of
the
National
Football
Leagues 32 owners must

approve a possible Raiders
move to Las Vegas, as they
must approve any proposal
to move a team.
The Nevada vote and the
governors signing was
something we expected,
Schaaf said in a statement.
But she said, It does not
mean that this is a done deal.
Schaaf said, The final
decision about where the
Raiders play in the future
will be made by the league
and its owners.
She said, Like so many of
the teams diehard fans, I
believe the Raiders and
Oakland have a shared identity and destiny, and keeping
the team in Oakland where
they were born and raised has
immeasurable value to the
fans, the team, the league and
the city.
Schaaf, who has vowed
not to spend any public
money for a new stadium,
said, Thats why I will
continue to work to provide
the Raiders and other NFL
owners a viable, responsible stadium option to consider in Oakland, regardless
of Nevada lawmakers decision.
ALAMEDA A thorough beating

by the Kansas City Chiefs did little to
change coach Jack Del Rios opinion
of his Oakland Raiders team.
We have a real good team, he said
Monday. Had a bad day yesterday.
Boy, did they ever.
For the first time since Del Rios
first game as coach, the Raiders (4-2)
never really had a chance late as they
played their first fourth quarter without
being within one score at any point
since a 33-13 loss to Cincinnati to
open the 2015 season.
The defense got gashed by Spencer
Ware and Alex Smith in the latest in a
run of bad performances, Derek Carr
and the offense managed just one field
goal after scoring a touchdown on the
opening drive, usually reliable kicker
Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52yard field goal and the punt coverage
unit allowed Tyreek Hill to have a 50yard return that set up a Kansas City
score.
Add it all up and the Raiders fell 2610 to the Chiefs and failed in their
opportunity to take sole possession
of first place in the AFC West.
When things dont go the way you
want, each man looks and sees what he
can do better, Del Rio said. Were
going to ask each

guy, every play,
every coach to do
something, do one
thing better this
week than you did
last week.
Del Rio said he
believes it is easier
Jack Del Rio to make corrections following a
loss instead of a
win, when players
might get complacent.
It all starts with a
defense that is on
pace to allow the
most yards per play
(6. 9) in the NFL
since the 1970
Derek Carr
merger. It has been
an equal opportunity defense that
ranks 30th in yards per carry allowed
(4. 81) and 31st in yards per pass
attempt (8.9).
Del Rio said the issues start with
communication: getting the play from
the sideline to the huddle quickly
enough and then passing that information on to the 11 defenders on the
field. The Raiders are using three rookie starters on defense defensive
lineman Jihad Ward, linebacker Cory
James and safety Karl Joseph and

When that cleans up, it will alleviate a lot of the issues were having,
Del Rio said. Thats why I remain
very confident in this football team

goes on. There are young players.
Thats not an alibi, thats just reality. I
think as they gain confidence, theyll
continue to grow and our communication will be better and better.
Despite the myriad problems, the
Raiders head into a two-week road trip
to Florida tied for first with Denver, a
half-game ahead of the Chiefs. The
offense has frequently bailed out the
struggling defense with Carr leading
second-half comebacks to beat New
Orleans, Baltimore and San Diego.
Carr just couldnt deliver on Sunday ,
committing two turnovers in the loss.
We cant dismiss the fact that yesterday didnt go the way we wanted,
Del Rio said. But we are after six

I made a commitment to the governor of Nevada, he said
after the ceremony. Ive never used another city as leverage.
Beyond the Raiders, a stadium close to the Las Vegas Strip
would be a boon for UNLV, which now plays at a field seven
miles from campus. UNLV has been trying to break out from
its reputation as a commuter school and elevate its academic and sports programs.
Were entering into a renaissance here for the university,
and you could definitely feel that here today, UNLV
President Len Jessup said.
The deal faced headwinds in the Nevada Legislature, but it
cleared that hurdle with persuasion from workers in the
Laborers Union, who are eager for some of the 25,000 construction jobs expected to come from the stadium and convention center. The construction industry tanked during the
recession, and it hasnt fully rebounded.
It means the world for our families, said union organizer Kenneth McLin, who wore a hardhat and fluorescent shirt

Bullpen great again, Tribe

tops Jays for 3-0 ALCS lead
By Noah Trister

Neymar during Brazils World Cup

qualifier at Dunas Arena Stadium.
Barcelona to resign
Neymar though 21
By Tales Azzoni
MADRID Neymar will sign a

three-year contract extension with
Barcelona on Friday, a deal that will
keep the Brazil forward with the
Spanish club until 2021.
Barcelona and Neymar had made
the announcement of the agreement
in July.
The previous contract was to end
in 2018. The new deal will run
through June 2021, Barcelona said
Monday.
The clubs announcement in July
ended speculation that Neymar was
unhappy in Spain and was looking
to move to another club. Paris
Saint-Germain was among the clubs
reportedly trying to sign him.
At the time, the club said the contracts buyout clause would be fixed
at 200 million euros (around $220
million) for the first year of the new
contract, 222 million euros for the
second, and 250 million euros for
the final three years. The buyout
clauses reportedly match the ones
on Lionel Messis contract.
The 24-year-old Neymar has been
with Barcelona since moving from
Brazilian club Santos in 2013. He
has scored 90 goals in 149 matches, including five goals in eight
matches this season.
A key player in Barcelonas
potent attack along with Messi and
Luis Suarez, Neymar helped the
team win nine titles.
TORONTO Andrew Miller and the Cleveland

bullpen pulled off their most impressive feat yet in these
American League playoffs, taking over after Trevor
Bauers bloody exit and holding off the Toronto Blue
Jays in a 4-2 victory Monday night that moved the
Indians within one win of their first pennant since 1997.
Jason Kipnis and Mike Napoli homered for the
Indians, who took a 3-0 lead in the AL Championship
Series. They are unbeaten in six
playoff games this year and can complete their second consecutive sweep
on Tuesday.
Six relievers combined for 25 outs
and 128 pitches, limiting Toronto to
two runs and seven hits. Miller got
four outs for the save.
If anybody has a hiccup, we probably lose, Cleveland manager Terry
Andrew Miller
Francona said.
Indians ace Corey Kluber is scheduled to start Game 4
on short rest after Bauers drone-related finger injury created more upheaval in a rotation thats been short-handed all postseason. Bauer faced only four batters before
getting pulled in the first inning after his stitched-up
right pinkie began dripping blood.
Enter the stingy Cleveland relievers, who pitched the
Indians to a Division Series sweep over Boston and have
them on the verge of another.
Its a good feeling, Kipnis said. Weve still got one
more to get there, and its going to be tough. We know
these guys. Just kind of like the Boston series we
dont want to wait around for them to figure it out. We
want to get to them now.
After Bauer left with two down and two on in the first,
the final 25 Toronto outs were distributed as follows: four
each for Dan Otero and Jeff Manship, three for Zach
McAllister, five each for Bryan Shaw and Cody Allen,
and four for Miller.
Boxing brief
Hopkins says Dec. 17 fight vs. Smith is his last
LOS ANGELES Bernard Hopkins plans to end his
three-decade boxing career on Dec. 17 with a light
heavyweight bout against Joe Smith Jr. The 51-yearold Hopkins announced his plan Monday for a final
fight at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
Hopkins (55-7-2, 32 KOs) hasnt fought since
November 2014, when Sergey Kovalev took his
two light heavyweight title belts with a one-sided
decision.
Hopkins famously made a record 20 defenses of his
middleweight titles over a 10-year stretch before
moving up in weight and winning more titles deep
into his 40s.
Tribe 4, Jays 2
Were having a blast. Just watch us play. Watch all the
smiles. Guys are loose. Guys are having a good time, and
youre seeing the play out there kind of reflect that attitude, Kipnis said.
The Blue Jays have never led in the series. And when
Kipnis led off the sixth with a home run to right-center
field, Cleveland went up 3-2 and was suddenly just a few
outs from being able to turn the game over to Allen and
Miller.
They appeared in that order, yet another instance in
which Francona has maneuvered his bullpen unencumbered by the idea of rigid roles. Allen, who usually closes for the Indians, came on in the seventh with a runner
on and nobody out. A two-out walk to Jose Bautista put
the potential tying run on, but Josh Donaldsons liner to
left field stayed up long enough for Coco Crisp to make
a sliding catch.
Miller, who struck out 10 in 3 2/3 innings through the
first two games of the series, fanned three batters this
time.
Cleveland has won nine straight games dating to the
regular season.
Napoli entered 2 for 18 this postseason and in an 0for-25 slump against right-handers dating to the regular
season. He opened the scoring with an RBI double off
righty Marcus Stroman in the first Napolis long fly
popped out of Bautistas glove before both the ball and
Bautista bounced off the wall in right field.
Bauer made it through only 21 pitches. Hed been
pushed back two days to Game 3 after cutting his finger
last week repairing one of the drones he enjoys flying as
a hobby. He received stitches and tried to pitch, but
couldnt make it through the first inning without blood
dripping from his hand.
Trevor got a little leak, Kipnis said. A couple of us
had seen the wound kind of inside and knew it was a possibility of happening. He can deal with the pain, but its
getting something like that to close up. Its hard to do in
a short amount of time.

Kelly also praised Kaepernicks

ability to extend plays with his
legs as most of his 66 yards rushing
came on scrambles rather than
designed runs. Kaepernick also did
not commit any turnovers.
Theres room there where I think
he can grow and Im sure as he
watches the tape with us tomorrow
and we get a chance to sit down and
visit with him and go through
everything, hell see some things
and get a chance to get a little bit
better and thats the thing that were

really good things, Kelly said. I
think we just need to try to build
upon that as we move forward.
Kaepernick will get that shot
Sunday in his first home game as
starter since losing the job last
year. It figures to be a friendlier
environment than last year when he

was booed late in his tenure and in
Buffalo , where his public protest
over the national anthem made him
a target of many fans throughout
the game.
The Niners offense was actually
slightly more productive in the first
game with Kaepernick than in the
previous five games with Gabbert,
averaging 5.0 yards per play up
from a league-low 4.5 yards per
play the first five games. Gabbert
ranked last in the NFL in yards per
attempt (5.9) and had the secondworst passer rating (69.6) in the
league when he lost his job.
But it looked nothing like the
offense Kaepernick led in 2012 and
13, when he helped make the
Niners one of the top teams in the
NFL.

Pot for kids? Maine official warns of loophole in referendum

By Patrick Whittle
PORTLAND, Maine Supporters of

a referendum to legalize marijuana for
recreational use have touted the proposal as applying only to adults 21 and
older, but it could actually legalize marijuana for everyone even children,
Maine Attorney General Janet Mills
warned.
The interpretation by the states top
prosecutor, a Democrat, provided a late
gift to marijuana opponents and put
referendum supporters on the defensive.
Scott Gagnon, who directs anti-legalization group Smart Approach to
Marijuana, said the organization will
have new TV and radio ads next week
playing up Mills concerns about kids
and pot.
There would be nothing in Maine to
prevent a young person from having
marijuana. Were asking, was it purposeful, or was it just gross negligence? he said. If its gross negligence, Im not sure I want those people
writing drug policy.
Pro-marijuana forces hope Maine and
Massachusetts will become the first
two states in New England and the
East Coast to legalize pot for more
than medical use when voters cast ballots on Nov. 8.
In Maine, referendum supporters say
the language in the proposal clearly
states that it would legalize marijuana
only for those 21 and older, but Mills
came to a different conclusion.
Mills said the referendum removes

existing legal language that makes
possession of small amounts of marijuana a civil infraction for both adults
and children. That means there would be
no penalties for children who consume
or smoke marijuana, she said.
Scott Anderson, an attorney who represents the pro-legalization Campaign
to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol,
disagrees with the attorney generals
interpretation and is encouraging voters to read the text of the proposal ahead
of the vote.
The referendum language says
approval would allow a person 21
years of age or older to use, possess or
transport marijuana accessories and up
to 2 ounces of prepared marijuana.
Anderson questioned why Mills didnt raise her concerns sooner.
This is a very last-minute change
that we were neither expecting nor can
explain, Anderson said. Were
encouraging folks to read the voter
guide.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who previously admitted trying marijuana when
he was younger, took to social media
with a statement denouncing the referendum.
LePage warned that passage of the
proposal could lead to more highway
fatalities, and he said the active ingredient in pot could harm children and pets.
Pot snacks, like cookies, candy,
gummy bears and soda, children cant
tell if theres marijuana in them, he
said.
A recent poll commissioned for the
Pro-marijuana forces hope Maine and Massachusetts will become the first two states in New England
and the East Coast to legalize pot for more than medical use when voters cast ballots on Nov. 8.
Portland Press Herald indicated 53 percent of respondents supported the referendum, while 38 percent opposed it.
Its unclear whether Mills comments
will sway referendum supporters or voters whore undecided.
A spokesman for Mills said the attorney general was not available for comment Friday. Timothy Feeley said Mills
is concerned that nothing in the bill
makes it unlawful for a child to possess
marijuana, and that there are no penalties for those younger than 21.

character of the small town. The controversy peaked last year when a group of residents passed a citizens referendum that led
the City Council to overturn previously
approved changes to the zoning codes.
Since then, the city embarked upon gathering public input on what types of
changes should be made.
Zoning change proponents, which
include the City Council and numerous residents, argue easing Belmonts overly-burdensome and subjective restrictions will
assist property owners who wish to upgrade
their homes to account for growing families, while at the same time improving the
citys housing stock.
Tuesdays meeting is another installment
in the yearslong process of updating
Belmonts Zoning and Tree ordinances.
Thus far, the city has made changes to its
design and review standards, parking regulations and eased rules related to construction of secondary or in-law units.
Allowable home size is predicted to be
one of the more controversial topics and
the Planning Commission is expected to
host two meetings to consider the changes.
On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the public will be
given an opportunity to comment on the
proposal and, depending on how many

with an abundance of caution as the district
stands to receive $5.9 million less from the
state than the previous year, largely
because 521 students are expected to enroll
in local charter schools. The district plans
to cut roughly $1.7 million in spending in
the next two years to address the diminish-
speakers wish to weigh in, the commission

may postpone a decision on whether to recommend the changes until Monday, Oct.
24. Those wishing to speak in person
about the changes during the Planning
Commissions review are urged to attend
Tuesdays meeting, as the Oct. 24 meeting
will likely not include opportunity for further public comment.
The City Council has the ultimate say in
whether to amend an ordinance and is
expected to take up the matter in November.
Whats being considered

The proposal would be to increase the
maximum home size to 5,000 square feet,
based on a sliding scale for lot size and
slope.
The steeper the lot, the larger it must be
to support a bigger home.
For example, a property owner could construct a 5,000-square-foot home on a relatively flat lot thats at least 9,381 square
feet. A lot on a 25 percent slope must be at
least 11,442 square feet and ranges up to a
45 percent sloped lot that must be at least
18,727 square feet, according to the report.
A common metric used to determine maximum home size is called floor area ratio,
or the ratio between the total size of a home
and the lot size. As the slope of a lot
increases, the floor area ratio decreases,
meaning steeper lots are typically allowed
smaller homes.
The majority of Belmont lots are less
ing student population, according to the
report.
The county office understands that these
reductions are related to the anticipated
decline in student enrollment due to anticipated transfer to the charter schools,
according to the report.
Though the district has about $3 million
available in reserves, the report indicates
county officials maintain strong reservations regarding the economic well-being of
the district.
The county office is highly concerned

than 10,000 square feet. However, there are

areas of the city that have very large lots,
although its a small percentage of the
citys total number of parcels zoned for residential, according to the report.
Another
option
the
Planning
Commission will be asked to consider is
whether to create a sliding scale for floor
area cap based on lot size. As the lot size
increases, so might the home size. For
example, lots 10,000 square feet or smaller
could be permitted homes up to 3, 500
square feet while lots at least 25,000 square
feet could construct a 5,000-square-foot
home, according to the report.
In developing the proposed changes,
staff compared Belmonts ordinances to
other cities, noting most dont have floor
area caps while Burlingames is 8, 000
square feet and neighboring San Mateo has
a 6,000-square-foot cap.
But resident Kristin Mercer, a former
planning commissioner and member of the
group Ask Belmont Citizens that led the
referendum effort, said most other cities do
have floor area ratios that in effect cap
home sizes. She contends the proposed
changes could result in Belmont allowing
larger homes than other cities, particularly
on 7,000-square-foot lots.
She noted theres an exemption process
through which owners can build larger
homes if they meet certain criteria.
Mercer also argued that building larger
homes is environmentally unsustainable
and questioned staffs assertion that trends
show family size has decreased while typical home sizes have increased over the
decades.
Residents moved to Belmont for its
small scale and un-ostentatious character,
and its connection with nature, Mercer
said in an email, later adding Belmonts
allowances are already generous compared
to similar cities.
Staff and the council have argued that the
citys current regulations are arbitrary and
not equitable to residents, particularly
those who have large lots. Staff has also
suggested supporting new construction or
remodels will result in more energy-efficient homes that meet updated building
codes.
With the cost of construction high in the
region and a survey of recent applications
showing many property owners didnt maximize their allowable space, its unclear
what type of demand there may be, according to the report.
But the goal of the changes is to make
sure the new rules are objective, that the
level of review is commensurate with the
scope of a project and that the ordinances
address identifiable development impacts,
about the fiscal status of the district,

School board President Alisa MacAvoy
said in an email Redwood City officials recognize the potential fiscal difficulty facing
the local school system.
Our budget continues to be tight given
that we are not provided adequate funds from
the state and federal government to provide
the educational programs our students
deserve and the community expects, she
said.
To backfill the funding gap, MacAvoy
said the district must lean on the generosity
of the local community, foundations,
organizations and more.
Without the support of local ballot
measures and the support from individuals,
PTA/PTO/[Redwood
City
Education
Foundation], nonprofit and government
partners, we would not be able to provide
the services to our students and families that
they deserve, she said.
In an attempt to solidify the districts
financial footing, MacAvoy and her fellow
trustees approved floating to voters a ballot
measure proposing an extension and hike of
the existing parcel tax.
Measure U, an $85 parcel tax, is expected
to generate roughly $1.9 million annually

to be split between the districts 16 traditional sites and three charter schools, if
approved. The measure set to go before voters on Election Day is an $18 hike from the
existing parcel tax, slated to expire in June.
Looking ahead, county officials expect
the financial hardships tied to enrollment
declines to continue, as they project 63 students to leave over the next two subsequent
years, according to the report.
Though charter schools can leach some
students, district officials have said the rising cost of living can also be attributed to
pushing away some families.
Ultimately, looking ahead, MacAvoy said
district officials will remain vigilant in
addressing fiscal concerns over the coming
years.
We will continue to monitor our budget
closely and we will make adjustments in
future years as needed to maintain a balanced
budget while educating our local students,

Doctors hail Chinas pledge to

stop harvesting inmate organs
By Nomaan Merchant
BEIJING Surgeons from around the world
gathered at a conference in Beijing on
Monday in Chinas latest effort to fight persistent skepticism about whether its hospitals have stopped performing transplants
with the organs of executed prisoners.
Doctors from the World Health
Organization and the Montreal-based
Transplantation Society who were invited to
the conference by China praised Chinese officials for reforms they have made in the transplant system, including a ban put in place last
year on using organs from executed inmates.
Forty medical experts successfully separated conjoined twins attached at the head.
Doubts persist that China is accurately
reporting figures or meeting its pledge given
its severe shortage of organ donors and
Chinas long-standing black-market organ
trade. By its own figures, China has one of
the lowest rates of organ donation in the
world, and even the systems advocates say it
needs hundreds of additional hospitals and
doctors.

numbers of transplants.
Dr. Jose Nunez, an adviser on organ transplants to the World Health Organization, told
the audience that he believed China was building the next great system.
You are taking this country to a leading
position within the transplantation world,
he said.
Others offered praise for Chinese officials,
but stopped short of saying whether they
could confirm China had stopped using executed inmates organs.
Its not a matter for us to prove to you that
its zero, said Dr. Francis Delmonico, a longtime surgeon and a professor at Harvard
Medical School. Its a matter for the government to fulfill what is the law, just as it is in
the other countries of the world that we go
to.
China is believed to perform more executions than any other country, though the government does not disclose how many.
The former vice minister of health, Dr.
Huang Jiefu, publicly acknowledged in 2005
that China harvested executed inmates
organs for transplant, and a paper he coauthored six years later reported that as many
as 90 percent of Chinese transplant surgeries
using organs from dead people came from
those put to death.
Huang has also responded to a report earlier
this year that a Canadian patient apparently
received a kidney from an executed inmate by
announcing that the doctor and the hospital
in question were suspended from performing
more transplants.
A key impediment is that members of a

veto any transplant once the person is dead.

monetary gain.

TAX
sometime in 2017. The measure
would also set up a citizens advisory
committee to monitor how the funds
are spent.
The proposal is now pitting city
officials and proponents for the tax
against critics who either dont trust
the money will be spent as suggested
or argue its unnecessary.
Proponents, including the council,
contend the city has $100 million in
unmet infrastructure needs and
Measure I would help by generating
an estimated $1.3 million in annual
revenue. Proponents say Belmont
has the worst streets in San Mateo
County, aging storm drains and the
community has prioritized supporting emergency responders.
Opponents call Measure I a blank
check, arguing the general tax funds
wouldnt be earmarked for a specific
purpose. They also believe its not
necessary as the city is in sound fiscal standing with new development
projects, such as two new hotels and a
digital billboard, slated to generate
new revenue. At least one opponent
contends the citys repair estimates
are inflated and the tax completely
unnecessary.
Is there a need?
City officials cite estimates that
Belmonts average pavement index
score of 54 is one of the lowest in the
Bay Area and they must find a way to
begin tackling nearly $40 million in
street repairs. They also say
Belmonts nearly 50-year-old storm
drain system is in need of $57 million worth of repairs; both of which
require new revenue.
Belmont has been very fiscally
conservative and maybe too much so,
and thats the reason why the roads
are in the state that theyre in now,
said resident Josh Powell, who is
campaigning in favor of Measure I.
Were at a precipice, if we dont start
now, theyre going to get much much
more expensive to fix.
Powell said the poor-quality streets
are an obvious problem to anyone
who drives through the city and letting them deteriorate further will
increase the cost of repairs later.
Opponent Tim Strinden, a retired
federal auditor, said the city is overestimating the problem. He contends
much of the storm drain system still
has ample life left and isnt in need of
immediate repairs. He also questions
whether the city is spending what it
claims on current repairs.
Revenues are enough without
taxes, theyve exaggerated the infrastructure needs and theres a lot of

secrecy and false information thats
been given out, Strinden said.
Strinden said 30 years is too long
for a tax increase and argues the city
has exaggerated actual infrastructure
needs to garner political support.
I think its manipulation of residents, Strinden said.
Former mayor Dave Warden is also
against the measure and said the city
should have a comprehensive analysis of what needs to be repaired.
Having a thorough capital improvement plan outlining priorities would
also provide transparency to residents, Warden said.
Strinden argues the tax is completely unnecessary as city reserves have
increased and new development projects are expected to contribute an
estimated $2 million to $3 million
more a year more than the $1.3
million Measure I would generate.
Councilman Warren Lieberman and
Planning
Commissioner
Tom
McCune support Measure I and said
truly tackling the citys vast infrastructure needs requires a multifaceted approach.
McCune said adequately tending to
street repairs is an ongoing process
and the best solution is to work on a
certain percentage every year. He said
improving streets to a higher pavement condition index score makes
upkeep more affordable.
Lieberman agreed Belmonts revenue is increasing from the new projects, but that the sales tax would
allow the city to tend to more needs.
Personally, Id rather not use
every piece of revenue we get to do
our roads, I think the community
wants other services too, Lieberman
said.
Is a general sales
tax the best approach?
Warden said hes opposed to
Measure I for a variety of reasons, but
primarily argues it would be a blank
check with no guarantee on how funds
would be spent. Hes not opposed to
new taxes. Instead, he suggests the

city seek a special tax which would
require two-thirds voter approval and
the revenue from which would be
guaranteed toward specific projects.
Measure I has absolutely no
accountability whatsoever. That
money cannot be earmarked for any
purpose whatsoever. They could
spend it on salaries, benefits, pet
projects, whatever they want,
Warden said.
Resident Gordon Seely agreed,
adding the sales tax increase could
harm businesses and may be a burden
to those already struggling to afford
the areas high cost of living.
Strinden said hes opposed to any
new tax, citing his believes that the
citys estimates are inflated and
Belmont will soon have revenue from
new developments.
Lieberman said the council has long
considered the proposed tax measure
and two sets of polling data showed
support for addressing community
concerns through a sales tax increase.
Previously, the council opted not to
place a measure on the 2015 ballot as
the city was facing an unrelated citizens referendum concerning zoning
amendments. Some proponents now
contend those opposing the measure
are critics of the city that simply
object to what the council does.
McCune, a member of the citys
infrastructure subcommittee, said
they considered various revenue generators such as a parcel tax or
bonds. He and Warren noted the general tax was considered the best option
as the burden wouldnt solely fall on
residents. Those who work or shop in
Belmont would also contribute toward
fixing city infrastructure, they said.
We thought this was a good way of
sharing responsibility, Lieberman
said.
Warren said local businesses and the
chamber are in support of the measure
and said the increase would be incremental.
Proposition 30, a statewide quartercent sales tax, is expiring in 2017 so
the base sales tax will be reduced to
8. 75 percent. With Measure I,
Belmonts sales tax would hit 9.25
percent.
Warren said opponents concerns
about not having the money
absolutely dedicated to certain projects was perhaps the most legitimate
argument against what he believes is
the best way to raise revenue for
infrastructure. However, he said the
council is dedicated to ensuring the
funds are spent wisely on infrastructure and the citizens advisory committee would oversee expenditures.
Ultimately, its up to the voters and
a general tax will allow the majority
to decide, Lieberman said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Stephen R. Miller aka Stephen Roy Miller
aka Stephen Miller
Case Number: 16PRO00405
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Stephen R. Miller aka
Stephen Roy Miller aka Stephen Miller. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Terry P. Miller in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Terry
P. Miller be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent. The petition requests authority
to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.
(This authority will allow the personal
representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and
shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: NOV 14, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

BEIRUT Airstrikes on rebel-held areas

in the northern province of Aleppo Monday
killed at least 36 people, including children, opposition activists said, as violence
in Syria continued while a major operation
began against the Islamic State group in
neighboring Iraq.
Most of the deaths were in the village of
Oweijel just west of the city of Aleppo,
where at least 23 people were killed in an
airstrike that also wounded dozens, according to the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights. Another
monitoring group, the Local Coordination
Committees, said the air raid was carried out
by Russian warplanes and put the death toll
at 30.
More than a dozen people were also killed
in a besieged eastern rebel-held neighborhood in Aleppo. The eastern parts of the
city, Syrias largest, have been subjected in
recent weeks to the worst aerial attacks in
years. The airstrikes have claimed hundreds
of lives, wounded many others and demolished entire buildings. Opposition activists
have blamed Russian and Syrian government warplanes for the strikes.
The Observatory said Mondays airstrikes
hit in the Marjeh neighborhood. The
Aleppo Media Center, an activist collective, said those killed included 11 people
with the same family name of Qabs ranging
from a month-and-a-half-old baby girl to a
25-year-old man.
Mondays airstrikes coincided with the
launch in neighboring Iraq of a major operation by Iraqi and Kurdish forces, backed by
the U.S.-led coalition, to retake the city of
Mosul from the Islamic State group. There
have been concerns the government in
Damascus could use the timing of the Mosul
offensive to press its onslaught in Aleppo
while world attention is diverted to developments in Iraq.
Also Monday, Syrian state media claimed
49 rebels were killed and wounded in fighting in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Saeed
and Shurfa on the southern edges of
Aleppo.

BEIJING Two Chinese astronauts began the countrys

longest crewed space mission yet on Monday, blasting off
on a spacecraft for a 30-day stay on an experimental space
station as China steadfastly navigates its way to becoming
a space superpower.
Ahead of the launch, one astronaut shouted: We are
ready! Please give instructions! in front of dozens of people dressed in colorful dress representing Chinas ethnic
minorities, in footage shown prominently on Chinese TV.
The commander-in-chief of the manned space program,
Gen. Zhang Youxia, replied: Proceed! followed by blaring
marching music as the astronauts boarded a bus to take them
to the launch pad.
China, Russia and the United States are the only countries
that have independently launched humans into space, and
while the others have more experience in manned space
travel, Chinas military-backed program has made methodical progress in comparatively short time.
The launch is Chinas sixth manned mission, the previous longest being about two weeks.
For this mission, the astronauts will dock their spacecraft
with the Tiangong 2 station within two days, conduct
experiments in medicine and space-related technologies,
and test systems and processes in preparation for the
launching of the stations core module in 2018. A fully
functioning space station is on course to begin operating
six years from now and slated to run for at least a decade.
