Half Moon Bay voters will decide by Nov. 4 if they want
to continue with a 9. 5 percent sales tax for three years that
proponents say will substantially fund a new library and
improve city properties while opponents argue the City
Council should just spend its money more wisely instead of
burdening locals.
Measure O proposes the continuation of a half-cent sales
tax estimated to raise between $3 million and $4 million
over the next three years. Its an extension of Measure J,
which was approved by voters in November 2012 and
bumped the city up to one of the highest sales taxes in the
state.

As proposals to redevelop three blighted sites of former

The three corners site at Third Avenue and El Camino

Man wakes up to find
stranger in bed with him
CLINTON, Conn. A Connecticut
man was arrested after police say he
wandered into the wrong home drunk
and got in bed with a stranger, who
woke up startled and called 911.
Police say the incident happened
early Saturday morning at an apart-
ment complex in Clinton. Officers say
26-year-old Tyler Sullivan of Haddam
told officers he thought he was at his
mothers apartment, which is in the
same complex.
A man in the home said he told
Sullivan to leave, but Sullivan refused.
Police say Sullivan was still there
when officers arrived.
Sullivan was charged with trespass-
ing and disorderly conduct. He was
released on $1, 000 bail and ordered to
appear in Middletown Superior Court
on Nov. 4.
Its not clear if Sullivan has a
lawyer. A phone listing for him could-
nt be found.
Horse rescued from pool
at suburban Phoenix home
MESA, Ariz. A horse in suburban
Phoenix needed rescuing after it led
itself to water and did more than just
drink.
Mesa firefighters say the horse was
wandering outside of its pen Saturday
when the animal somehow fell into
the backyard swimming pool and
became stuck.
Mesa Fire Capt. Forrest Smith says
firefighters, with the assistance of a vet-
erinarian, tranquilized the horse before
pulling it out using several straps.
Smith says the horse was not
injured.
Cockroach disrupts
pest control chiefs testimony
CHICAGO A cockroach embar-
rassed a Chicago official in charge of
pest control when it took a stroll near
him in full view of some aldermen, and
its stunt just might have cost it and its
buddies their lives.
After Thursdays hearing in the City
Council chambers, Fleet and Facilities
Management Commissioner David
Reynolds had his office call a private
contractor to come down to City Hall
and do some exterminating.
The cockroach couldnt have picked
a worse time to show its antenna on
the wall of the City Council chambers:
just as Reynolds was testifying during
a budget hearing. Alderman Brendan
Reilly wondered aloud how much
money in Reynolds department budg-
et was devoted to pest control.
I was mortified, Reynolds told
reporters after the laughter died down.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported
that Reynolds said hes proud of the
condition of the citys facilities,
before adding that there is no way a
103-year-old building with lots of
places for bugs to hide is ever going to
be pest free.
It doesnt help that City Hall attracts
scores of visitors every day. Many
workers bring lunches that they eat at
their desks or in the hallways. The
cockroaches are more than happy to
dine on whatever people leave behind
or drop on the floor.
We often just end up chasing them
around, Reynolds said.
Custom urns courtesy
of companys 3-D printer
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. A
Minnesota startup is using a 3-D
printer to create custom urns shaped
like objects that were important to the
person whose remains they hold.
The Eden Prairie-based Foreverence
offers urns that are made with a ceram-
ic material that looks different than
the plastic material typically produced
by a 3-D printer. The process takes
nearly an entire day, starting with
about nine hours of printing, and then
followed by several hours of touchups,
the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
Each urn is unique and can take the
form of just about anything, including
ballet slippers, cars and instruments.
Im fascinated by the endless possi-
bilities, company CEO Pete Saari said.
It has even made an urn shaped like
the signature hats worn by rock band
Devo when co-founder Bob Casale died
earlier this year.

W
hen Spain heard of the discovery
of the San Francisco Bay by the
expedition party of Gaspar de
Portola, it envisioned its entire maritime
fleet anchoring in it. It was huge. The
Spanish explorers and pioneers were, how-
ever, land-lubbers and the water held little
interest in utilizing the Bay. The Indians
utilized the unstable tule-boats for crossing
the Bay when they needed to visit the other
side, but mostly the edges of the Bay were
all that was used.
In 1826, the first man to establish a sail-
boat ferry service was a man named John
Reid. He sailed his boat to the Oakland
Estuary, an inlet of San Francisco Bay and
berthed by what is now Jack London Square.
A creek flowed from Lake Merritt to Jack
London Square and therefore the stop was
known as the Creek for many years.
Others developed a ferry service begin-
ning in the 1850s. Capt. Thomas Gray,
grandfather of the famous dancer, Isadora
Duncan, began service from San Francisco
to Oakland in 1851 with a stern-wheel
Sacramento packet General Sutter and a
small steam iron ferry Kangaroo. A number
of ferry services began from this site from
1852 on. In 1865, the San Francisco and

San Carlos 33-year-old Adult Community
Center will get wood flooring, mirrors for
fitness classes and a demonstration kitchen
island for cooking classes if councilmem-
bers agree to expand an improvement plan
beyond just the critical renovations needed.
The city already plans to improve the
Chestnut Street center and make it ADA
compliant but budget constraints capped
the makeover to interior-only projects
rather than constructing a new building on
the same site. After a series of community
meetings with the public and its architec-
ture firm, the city decided to enhance the
plan, according to Public Works Director
Jay Walter and Parks Director Christine
Boland.
Predominantly, the message received
was to fix what was broken and enhance the
facility to the best of the citys ability, the
pair wrote in a proposal to the City
Council.
The council at Monday nights meeting
will consider adding $891, 429 worth of
improvements to the $1. 58 million worth
of renovations approved in May. The new
additions would improve center programs
and the surrounding site.
The funding for the $2, 474, 000 total
comes from the capital improvement budg-
ets of fiscal years 2013-2015 plus $30, 000
from the Friends of the San Carlos Adult
Community Center and $40, 000 from an
Elaine Farmkis Estate bequest.
The Friends funds was initially projected
at $10, 000 but they came through with a
official pledge of $30, 000 Thursday, said
Boland who called the extra money and pos-
sible renovations good news.
Boland said only the design component
is coming up for vote now and the construc-
tion funding piece will come back after bids
open in April or May.
The existing centers space includes a
lounge area, library, computer lab, commer-
cial kitchen and other rooms for projects
and classes. The citys facilities master
plan ticks off 203 items for improvement
like counter heights, doorknobs, lighting,
the outdated restrooms and ramps for com-
pliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
The ADA component is on the critical list
alongside repairing all code compliance
issues, the heating and air conditioning,
upgrading the lighting, recarpeting the
entire interior and repairing exterior walls.
The second set of improvements includes
the installation of wood flooring in the
mutli-purpose room, mirrors in the fitness
room and the kitchen island.
A third level of non-critical renovations
to the surrounding area include replacing
the outside patio concrete, building a rear-
accessible ramp outside and replacing the
patio trellis.
If approved and the anticipated timeline
holds, construction will start in May 2015
with completion the following October or
November.

Adult center makeover
plans may be expanded
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starting Monday, millions of people who
have avoided colon cancer screening can
get a new home test thats noninvasive and
doesnt require the icky preparation most
other methods do.
The test is the first to look for cancer-
related DNA in stool. But deciding whether
to get it is a more complex choice than ads
for the breakthrough test . . . thats as easy
as going to the bathroom make it seem.
On one hand, the test could greatly boost
screening for a deadly disease that too few
people get checked for now.
On the other hand, it could lure people
away from colonoscopies and other tests
that, unlike the new one, have been shown
to save lives.
It might even do both.
It looks promising, but its impact on
cancer risk and survival isnt known, said
Dr. Barnett Kramer, a National Cancer
Institute screening expert.
David Smith, 67, a retired teacher from
Northfield, Minnesota, shows the tests
potential. He has never been screened for
colon cancer and his doctor ran through the
options, including a barium enema or a
scope exam.
He pulled out one of those really colorful
brochures they have for all those proce-
dures, Smith said, but he had suffered an
infection from a prostate biopsy years ago
and didnt want another invasive test. When
the doctor mentioned the new DNA test, I
said, well, sign me up.
The test was approved by the Food and
Drug Administration last month and will be
offered by prescription at the Mayo Clinic
in Minnesota, where it was developed, and
soon nationwide. Its called Cologuard and
is sold by Exact Sciences Corp. of
Madison, Wisconsin. Mayo Clinic and one
of its doctors get royalties from the test.
Here are some things to know about it:
How it works
Many current stool tests look for blood
that could suggest a tumor. Cologuard does
this plus detects DNA that could be a sign of
cancer or precancerous growths called
polyps. People send a stool sample to a lab
where it is tested.
If the test is positive, the next step is a
diagnostic colonoscopy. A thin tube with a
tiny camera is passed through the large
intestine and growths can be removed and
checked for cancer. When this is done for
screening and precancerous polyps are
removed, it can prevent cancer, not just
detect it. It requires drinking laxatives the
day before to clean out the bowel.
A sigmoidoscopy is a similar scope exam
but only looks at the lower portion of the
bowel and does not require full sedation.
Advertised by not endorsed
The best measure of a screening tests
worth is whether it lowers the risk of death
from a disease, and its too soon to know
whether Cologuard will. The U. S.
Preventive Services Task Force, which sets
widely followed screening advice, has not
yet considered it.
For healthy adults age 50 to 75 at average
risk for colon cancer, the task force backs
three methods: annual stool blood tests, a
sigmoidoscopy every five years plus stool
tests every three years, or a colonoscopy
once a decade.
Accuracy
Cologuard was not directly tested against
colonoscopy for screening but now is
being marketed as an alternative. A large
study compared Cologuard to one of the
older stool blood tests and found it detected
92 percent of colorectal cancers and 42 per-
cent of advanced precancerous growths
compared to 74 percent of cancers and 24
percent of growths for the older test.

SAN DIEGO Luis Enrique Monroy-
Bracamonte had a lot to hide. He was living
in the United States illegally, had been con-
victed in Arizona for selling drugs and twice
deported to Mexico.
How he escaped detection was a mystery
on Sunday.
His background would have almost cer-
tainly flagged him to be expelled from the
country again, but he stayed under the radar
until his arrest Friday on suspicion of mur-
der, attempted murder and carjacking in the
deaths of two sheriffs deputies during a
shooting rampage in Northern California.
More than 2 million deportations have
occurred under the watch of President Barack
Obama, whose administration has laid out
three priorities for people to be deported:
Anyone who poses a public safety threat;
anyone with a serious immigration history;
and recent border crossers. Monroy-
Bracamonte would appear to be a prime can-
didate on the first two counts.
The suspected shooter told investigators
that he was 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez of
Salt Lake City, but his fingerprints matched
biometric records of Monroy-Bracamonte
in a federal database, said U. S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman
Virginia Kice. He was first removed from
the country in 1997 after a conviction for
possession of drugs for sale in Arizona,
then arrested and repatriated to Mexico
again in 2001.
Sacramento County
Sheriff Scott Jones told
The Sacramento Bee on
Sunday that he may have
lived under multiple
identities and that he
may have had troubles
with the law under anoth-
er name.
Were not convinced
we have a full picture of
his identity, Jones told
the newspaper. Immigration has come up
with one identity. We are not entirely con-
vinced that is his only identity.
Mauro Marquez, his father-in-law, told the
Los Angeles Times that he always knew him
as Luis Monroy and said his son-in-law
worked as a house painter. He said the cou-
ple moved to Utah a couple years after mar-
rying about 14 years ago in Arizona.
Marquez told the newspaper that and he
and his wife spent a couple days around
Christmas with them each year at their
home in West Valley, a suburb of Salt Lake
City.
Janelle Marquez Monroy, 38, was arrested
on suspicion of attempted murder and car-
jacking after the attack on Friday that left
two deputies dead and a sheriffs deputy and
an attempted carjacking victim wounded.
No attorneys were listed for either suspect
in jail records.
A search of Utah court records for Marcelo
Marquez shows a history of about 10 tickets
and misdemeanor traffic offenses between
2003 and 2009, which typically dont trig-
ger a fingerprint check against immigration
records. The records list one speeding tick-
et in 2009 and three small claims filings
attempting to collect outstanding debts.
Monroy-Bracamonte appears to have
avoided work for government contractors or
other employers that might have exposed
him to extra scrutiny.
Krista Sorenson of Salt Lake City said he
and his brother mowed her lawn and fixed
her sprinklers about four years ago, describ-
ing them as just super nice, decent hard-
working, trying to figure out how to make a
living. They distributed handbills that said
Brothers Landscaping.
Hector Monroy told KXTV in Sacramento
that his brother assumed another name
because he got into some kind of trouble.
He said he gave his brother $400 early last
week and, under threat, returned a bag of his
brothers weapons that he had hid.
Monroy said his brother called through-
out the week to demand more money and on
Friday afternoon to say he was in the
woods after killing a police officer and that
he needed to be picked up. Monroy said his
brother hung up when he refused and that he
called his brother again, but he didnt pick
up the phone.
Sacramento County sheriffs Deputy
Danny Oliver, 47, was shot in the forehead
with an assault rifle at close range as he
checked out a suspicious car in a motel park-
ing lot.
Two deputies who approached the pickup
while it was parked alongside a road were
shot with an AR-15-type assault weapon,
police said. Homicide Detective Michael
David Davis Jr. , 42, died at a hospital.
Peter Nunez, a former U. S. attorney in San
Diego and chairman of the Center for
Immigration Studies, which advocates for
tighter immigration policies, said the inci-
dent exposes shortcomings in border secu-
rity and interior enforcement. He questioned
how the suspect was apparently able to
assume another identify.

Early releases from county jails and state
prisons in California have accelerated since
the state gave counties responsibility for
locking up lower-level offenders under a law
that took effect in October 2011. At the
same time, capacity to hold inmates has
been increasing and statewide crime rates

State prisons:
Nearly 3, 300 second-strikers serving
sentences for nonviolent, non-sex crimes
were released early from prison from
January through September this year
because federal judges ordered the state to
reduce prison crowding. The 607 inmates
freed in September were released an average
of 51 days earlier than they previously
would have been.

The state has held early parole hear-
ings this year for more than 200 long-term
inmates whose crimes were committed
while they were juveniles, as well as for
inmates age 60 and older and those who are
medically incapacitated. State officials
could not say how many were actually
paroled.
State prisons have added about 3, 800
beds through contracts with private prison
operators and by opening a new inmate
medical center in Stockton.
Crime rates:
Crime dropped in all cate-
gories statewide in 2013.
Compared to the previous

NEW YORK The gulf between
politicians and scientists over
Ebola widened on Sunday as the
nations top infectious-disease
expert warned that the mandatory,
21-day quarantining of medical
workers returning from West Africa
is unnecessary and could discour-
age volunteers from traveling to
the danger zone.
The best way to protect us is to
stop the epidemic in Africa, and we
need those health care workers, so
we do not want to put them in a
position where it makes it very,
very uncomfortable for them to
even volunteer to go, said Dr.
Anthony Fauci, director of the
National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases.
Meanwhile, Kaci Hickox, the
first nurse forcibly quarantined in
New Jersey under the states new
policy, said in a telephone inter-
view with CNN that her isolation at
a hospital was inhumane,
adding: We have to be very careful
about letting politicians make
health decisions.
Saying the federal health guide-
lines are inadequate, the governors
of New York and New Jersey
announced a mandatory quarantine
program Friday for medical work-
ers and other arriving airline pas-
sengers who have had contact with
Ebola victims in West Africa, and
Illinois soon followed suit.
Twenty-one days is the incubation
period for Ebola.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
on Sunday defended quarantining as
necessary to protect the public and
predicted it will become a nation-
al policy sooner rather than later.
I dont believe when youre
dealing with something as serious
as this that we can count on a vol-
untary system, said Christie,
who is expected to run for the
Republican nomination for presi-
dent in 2016. He added: I
absolutely have no second
thoughts about it.
The Obama administration con-
siders the policy in New York and
New Jersey not grounded in sci-
ence and has conveyed its con-
cerns to Christie and New York
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a senior
administration official told The
Associated Press. The official was-
nt authorized to comment by name
and insisted on anonymity.
Fauci made the rounds on five
major Sunday morning talk shows
to argue that policy should be
driven by science and that sci-
ence says people with the virus
are not contagious until symp-
toms appear. And even then,
infection requires direct contact
with bodily fluids.
He said that close monitoring of
medical workers for symptoms is
sufficient, and warned that forcibly
separating them from others, or
quarantining them, for three weeks
could cripple the fight against the
outbreak in West Africa an argu-
ment that humanitarian medical
organizations have also made.
If we dont have our people vol-
unteering to go over there, then
youre going to have other coun-
tries that are not going to do it and
then the epidemic will continue to
roar, Fauci said.

ORLANDO, Fla. Florida A &
M Universitys Marching 100 had
played at a Super Bowl and before
U. S. presidents. But one of the
nations most-celebrated march-
ing bands had a dark secret: mem-
bers were occasionally beaten
with mallets, fists and drumsticks
in a hazing initiation known as
crossing Bus C.
The trial of four band members
is scheduled to start Monday on
charges of felony hazing and
manslaughter, almost three years
after drum major Robert
Champion died from being beaten
during that ritual. His death shone
a spotlight on hazing at FAMU
and other colleges, caused the
band to be suspended for over a
year and contributed to the resig-
nation of FAMUs president.
Hours after a football game in
Orlando in November 2011, band
members boarded Bus C parked
outside a hotel. They pummeled
Champion, 26, and two other band
members as they tried to wade
their way through a pounding
gauntlet of fists, drumsticks and
mallets from the front to the back
of the bus.
After making it to the back,
Champion vomited and complained
of trouble breathing. He soon fell
unconscious and couldnt be
revived. He died from hemorrhagic
shock and his autopsy showed
extensive internal bleeding.
Fifteen former band members
originally were charged with
manslaughter and hazing in the
death of Champion, of Decatur,
Georgia. All but the four remaining
defendants have had their cases
settled, and several of them will be
called as witnesses to describe
what happened on the bus.
Darryl Cearnel, Aaron Golson,
Benjamin McNamee and Dante
Martin have pleaded not guilty.
But a late challenge by the attor-
neys for Cearnel , Gol son and
McNamee about the inclusion of
an addi t i onal hazi ng charge
coul d del ay t ri al s for t hose
defendants. Once it begins, the
trial could last two weeks.
State Attorney Jeff Ashton said
he wants jurors to learn about the
history of hazing in FAMUs
marching band so they understand
that what happened on the bus was
a consistent pattern.
Besi des crossi ng Bus C,
j urors l i kel y wi l l l earn about
ot her hazi ng ri t ual s by band
members. Those include the hot
seat, when band members sit in
bus seats with heads between legs
as other band members beat them,
as well as prepping when a
shirtless band member is slapped
on the back and chest.
Hazing trial starts for 4 FAMU band members

MARYSVILLE, Wash. Tribal
members played drums and sang
songs in a gymnasium as students
and parents gathered to support
each other following a deadly
shooting by a popular Washington
state high school student.
Young people hugged each other
and cried and speakers urged peo-
ple to come together during a com-
munity meeting Sunday afternoon
at Marysville-Pilchuck High
School. On Friday, a 14-year-old
homecoming prince opened fire in
the school cafeteria, killing one
girl and badly wounding four other
teenagers.
We just have to reach for that
human spirit right now, said
Deborah Parker, a member of the
Tulalip Indian tribes.
The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, was
from a prominent tribal family. He
died of a self-inflicted gunshot.
Three of the injured students
fought for their lives in Seattle-
area hospitals Sunday.
Of the wounded students, only
14-year-old Nate Hatch showed
improvement, though he remained
in serious condition in intensive
care at Harborview Medical Center
in Seattle. Fifteen-year-old
Andrew Fryberg also remained in
critical condition in intensive
care. Both are cousins of Jaylen
Fryberg.
Meanwhile, 14-year-olds
Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia
Soriano remained in critical con-
dition in intensive care at
Providence Regional Medical
Center Everett.
The girl killed in the shooting
hasnt been officially identified.
Fryberg died in the attack, after
a first-year teacher intervened. Its
unclear if he intentionally killed
himself or if the gun went off in a
struggle with a teacher.
The close-knit community,
meanwhile, on the nearby Tulalip
Indian reservation struggled with
the news that the shooter was a
popular teenager from one of their
more well-known families.
A tribal guidance counsellor said
no one knows what motivated
Fryberg.
We cant answer that question,
said Matt Remle, who has an
office at Marysville-Pilchuck
High School, which is 30 miles
north of Seattle. But we try to
make sense of the senselessness.
In the nearby community of
Oso, where a mudslide this spring
killed dozens, people planned to
gather to write condolence letters
and cards.

NEW YORK After Superstorm
Sandy, officials in New York and
New Jersey vowed to make sure the
unprecedented destruction would-
nt happen again.
Two years later, would it?
There are some concrete signs of
tougher protections, from a near-
ly-finished sea wall protecting two
devastated New Jersey towns to a
Long Island boardwalk rebuilt to
serve as a retaining wall. New
floodgates protect a power plant
where Sandy plunged miles of
Manhattan into darkness and some
homes sit higher while other
buildings boast new flood barriers.
Enhanced preparedness has
hardened backup power systems at
hospitals, forged new systems to
flood-proof subway vents,
installed generators at dozens of
gas stations to run pumps in a
power outage, redrawn evacuation-
zone maps and reshaped emer-
gency plans for managing prob-
lems from debris to traffic.
But many planned projects are
still years off and some ideas still
under study. Thousands of home-
owners await repair aid, some of it
coupled with steps to make homes
safer. Some efforts to buy out
flood-prone homes havent gotten
takers in the worst-hit areas. And
across the coast, a patchwork of
protections leaves some areas
more vulnerable than others.
Still, officials and disaster-pre-
paredness experts see meaningful
movement on a complicated problem
that could take decades to remedy.
The region is better prepared
for a storm like Sandy, said
Rockefeller Foundation President
and resilience expert Judith
Rodin. I could never say that
everyone is or should be satisfied
with the rate of progress, but
things are progressing.
It feels that way to Bill Burns as
he watches city-paid contractors
boost his Brooklyn home up
about four feet, on a new founda-
tion with conduits for water to
flow underneath. He and his wife
couldnt afford to do that after fix-
ing the interior.
This is going to make this
house a lot safer to live in, he
says.
But on Long Island, Anna
Ervolina feels more vulnerable,
not less. Architects have said she
cant elevate her Long Beach
home, and though the city has
some new protections, she fears it
remains fragile two years after
Sandy flooded nearly 2/3 of its
homes.
I dont think it will take anoth-
er Sandy to cause damage, says
Ervolina, who has yet to move
back to her house.
As Sandys second anniversary
approaches Oct. 29, its tough to
analyze preparedness gains, ver-
sus goals.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey A
Syrian activist group said Sunday
that the death toll in 40 days of
fighting in and around the north-
ern Syrian border town of Kobani
has reached 815, as Kurdish fight-
ers battled Muslim militants for a
hill west of the town.
The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
said the death toll includes 21
Kurdish civilians and 302 fighters
with the main Kurdish force
known as the Peoples Protection
Units, or YPG. It said 481 fighters
with the Islamic State group have
been killed since the battles
began.
IS fighters launched a wide offen-
sive on Kobani in mid-September
capturing dozens of Kurdish vil-
lages and entering parts of the
town. The attack has displaced
more than 200, 000 people who
crossed for safety in Turkey.
On Saturday, IS launched an
attack on a Kurdish-held neigh-
borhood in Kobani without suc-
ceeding in advancing, the
Observatory said. It added that
seven IS fighters were killed as
well as several YPG fighters.
An Associated Press reporter on
the Turkish side of the border said
occasional mortar fire could be
heard in the center and west of the
town as well as occasional gun-
fire. At least one airstrike was car-
ried out by the U. S. -led coalition.
The U. S. Central Command said
in a statement that five airstrikes
near Kobani destroyed seven IS
vehicles and an IS building. It said
the five airstrikes were conducted
on Saturday and Sunday.
Last week, the U. S. Central
Command said that its forces con-
ducted more than 135 airstrikes
against the militants in and around
Kobani, killing hundreds of IS
fighters.
Idriss Nassan, a Kurdish official
from Kobani, said the fighting
concentrated Sunday on the Izaa
hill west, of the town. That area is
close to the strategic Tel Shair hill,
which overlooks parts of the town.
Kurdish fighters recently regained
control of the Tel Shair hill.
The units (YPG) are advancing
slowly on the eastern and southern
fronts, Nassan said. The situa-
tion is relatively calm compared
with yesterday.
The Observatory said YPG fight-
ers attacked two IS vehicles west
of Kobani Sunday inflicting casu-
alties among jihadis.
Also Sunday, state news agency
SANA reported that rebels in the
northern Syrian city of Aleppo
fired two mortar shells, killing an
adult and a child and wounding
several others when they hit a
school.
The Observatory said one of the
shells hit the Hoda Shaarawi
school, while the second fell in
front of it.
Syria activists say Kobani death toll passes 800

OPINION 9
Proposition 46
editorial response
Editor,
Your editorial against Proposition
46 in the Oct. 24 edition of the
Daily Journal incorrectly states that
random testing of doctors for sub-
stance abuse is unwarranted because
there is already sufficient protocol
in place for the reporting of doc-
tors on drugs or alcohol. In fact,
researchers report that up to 2 per-
cent of doctors at any one time are
likely having substance abuse prob-
lems. In California, that equates to
2, 600 physicians with a problem
right now. Would you want one of
those substance-abusing MDs as
your doctor? In addition, research
has found that fellow doctors and
nurses rarely report suspicions of
doctor substance abuse. Physicians
fear offending colleagues or ruining
a career. Nurses work for doctors and
fear being fired. In contrast, random
testing would have a deterrent effect
as well as help put substance-abus-
ing physicians back on the path to
resuming successful careers.
You also suggest that raising the
states cap on malpractice pain-and-
suffering damages to account for four
decades of inflation would cause doc-
tor insurance premiums to rise.
There is no evidence that this would
occur. In three states that recently
abolished such caps, malpractice
premiums stayed level and the num-
ber of physicians in each state actu-
ally increased. Given the fact that
the malpractice insurance industry is
very profitable in California, it is
unlikely that the states insurance
commissioner would allow any sort
of premium increase. Doctors would
be safe. And their patients would be
safer and have a better chance at jus-
tice and accountability if maimed or
killed by malpractice.

Hospitals and insurance companies
are businesses that make decisions
based on their bottom line. They
know the cap forecloses children (as
well as the elderly and stay-at-home
moms) from suing for medical negli-
gence. As a result, they have no eco-
nomic incentive to invest in the
staffing, training and infrastructure
that would reduce errors and save
lives.
My daughter was mistakenly
administered a double dose of a
strong medication that induced acute
heart failure when a nurse relied
upon an outdated doctors order.
Similarly, for two days, my daughter
received no nutrition because a doc-
tor forgot to modify an order for IV
nutrition. Better training and com-
puter systems would have prevented
those deadly errors.
Those mistakes cost my daugh-
ters life. But, because of the outdat-
ed cap, they cost the hospital noth-
ing. The opponents of Proposition
46 are trying to scare voters by
claiming that their health care costs
will increase. The truth is that
Proposition 46 will reduce costs by
reducing errors. The three prongs of
Proposition 46 are about patient
safety. That is why I support
Proposition 46.

Support our cops
Editor,
The police and members of the
armed forces of the United States and
Canada are now facing brazen, brutal
and unprovoked terrorist attacks
within our borders. This is in addi-
tion to the numerous threats they
encounter during the course of a rou-
tine day. I wish to express my deep-
est support for the ongoing good
work of police ofcers everywhere
who commit to enforce the law, even
when doing so can place their own
welfare in jeopardy.
Many among us are quick to con-
demn any police officer who is
involved in a controversial
encounter. I would like to suggest
that those folks take a deep breath
and allow the system to uncover the
facts and truth of what actually
occurred before reaching conclu-
sions. Being open-minded is impor-
tant.
My thoughts and prayers go to the
family, friends and colleagues of
rookie New York police Officer
Kenneth Healey who was attacked
with a hatchet in the back of the
head while posing for a tourist
photo. He remains in critical condi-
tion. I invite you to join me in
praying for his full recovery.
Many relish any opportunity to
vilify police officers. I am not one
of them. I am very grateful that they
are on duty and ready to respond to
whatever situation awaits them.

Re-elect Robert Bernardo
to the Harbor Commission
Editor,
I am urging all readers of the
Daily Journal to support Robert
Bernardo in his re-election to the
San Mateo County Harbor District
Board of Commissioners Nov. 4.
Roberts re-election will continue
the important work he began four
years ago. As a resident of San
Mateo County for over 35 years, he
truly cares about the county. He has
the background and experience to
make him the strongest candidate in
this election, because of both his
experience as a former planning
commissioner, and because he is the
current port manager at the Port of
Oakland, the fifth biggest seaport
in the country.
San Mateo County has two har-
bors, Pillar Point Harbor and Oyster
Point Marina. Bernardo will ensure
that these harbors will continue to
provide visitors with boating facili-
ties, waterfront restaurants, recre-
ational activities, and a commuter
ferryall of which contribute to our
local economy. Because of
Bernardo, the following important
programs and initiatives at the
Harbor District have been accom-
plished:
A comprehensive plan to pay off
San Mateo Harbor District debt
one year ahead of schedule;
Environmental sustainability
resulting in the first-ever Clean
Marina certification for environ-
mental stewardship;
Improved search-and-rescue
operations, which saves over 100
lives annually;
Planning discussions for sea-
level rise preparedness; and
The development of a Harbor
District Strategic Business Plan as a
blueprint for future development at
Pillar Point and Oyster Point.
San Mateo voters: please support
Robert Bernardo this Nov. 4 to con-
tinue serving the residents of our
county. For more information,
please visit www. robertbernar-

Letters to the editor
Pesky propositions
T
he voters guide has arrived as has your sample bal-
lot. Its a typical mid-term November election with
a number of bafing ballot measures and conict-
ing ads on television and radio.
We know the doctors and lawyers are at each others
throats over Proposition 46. One ad tells us our medical
costs will go up (to pay for malpractice insurance). The other
that doctors need drug testing. But it is really about raising
the malpractice cap. California now has one of the lowest
medical caps. Opponents have raised nearly $57 million to
defeat this measure versus $9.1 million for supporters.
Then there is Proposition 45. This is a tough one to g-
ure out. On one hand are
the ads warning that if this
passes, health care will be
in the hands of one politi-
cian (unnamed in the ads).
That would be Dave Jones,
the state insurance com-
missioner, who is there to
protect consumers. Health
insurance companies are
against this because it
would give power to the
insurance commissioner to
control rate increases. I am
voting yes.
Proposition 47, the sen-
tencing reform initiative,
to reduce sentences for
non-violent crimes, has split the law enforcement com-
munity. But with the prison population continuing to
grow even with crime rates low or static , this proposition
makes sense. Proposition 48 on casinos deserves a big
NO. The two bond issues seem less controversial even
though some environmentalists are not happy with the
water bond. It represents a compromise and does not have
everything everyone wanted but, with the state running
out of water and people getting tired of withering land-
scaping and food prices escalating, voters will go for this
one. And equally popular, except for the education lobby,
is the second bond to provide for rainy-day funds.
Locally, there is little excitement. The Harbor
Commission has some internal reworks but most dont
know the people involved. If we do know them, we will
cast a knowledgeable vote. If not, we will rely on endorse-
ments or just skip it. Then, there is the long list of
judges. Most will either skip or vote afrmatively when
we should know and care more. In some states, there are
partisan elections for judges, complete with party money
and partisan endorsements. Luckily, this is not true in
California.
Then there is the community college bond opposed by
Maxine Terner, a former San Mateo planning commission-
er. She has written a letter to the Daily Journal explaining
her views. This is the second time in a short span the dis-
trict has asked voters for funds to improve and expand
facilities. But the community college population is grow-
ing as more students nd four-year colleges beyond their
nancial or academic reach. And more skilled training
opportunities in appropriate facilities will, hopefully,
help students nd jobs. But Terner has touched a nerve
about increased school taxes. The San Mateo United
Homeowners is also wary of more school funding meas-
ures especially as the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District prepares to put another measure on the
ballot. Yet San Mateo County voters are usually dedicated
supporters of education and Terner is not always right.
While on the Planning Commission, she voted against
the movie theater in downtown San Mateo, saying it was
too big for its location. Very few residents would agree
with her now. Even members of the business community
who sued the city to stop the movie theater now agree its
good for business and has revitalized the downtown.
Even though we dont have a vote, we will be watching
the congressional election in our neighboring county to
the south where newcomer Ro Khanna is challenging
longtime Congressman Mike Honda. Khanna has youth
and tech on his side; Honda has elected ofcials and
unions. Still the race is very close and it is possible
Khanna could put an upset.
Less likely for an upset is the election of the state
superintendent of instruction. Tom Torlakson, former
assemblyman and state senator, is the incumbent and
heavily backed by the California Teachers Association. He
has numerous ads on TV and in very small almost unread-
able print is the sponsor. You guessed it. The California
Teachers Association. They do not like the challenger,
Marshall Tuck because Tuck agrees that teacher tenure laws
need to be modied. Tuck has a few ads on radio, but its
hard to compete with CTA. They are a major player in
Sacramento and can put their money where their mouth is.
CTA has also become a powerhouse at the local level.
Where in the past local teacher unions were in charge of
negotiations with their respective districts, now CTA
often has a signicant place at the bargaining table or is
the rep for the district.

umn runs every Monday. She can be reached at sue@smdai-

WHERE THE READY GET READY
Every Battery For Every Need
By Audrey McAvoy
HONOLULU Dozens of Maui mothers
are going door-to-door to urge voters to back
a ban on the cultivation of genetically engi-
neered crops because they think they are
unsafe.
Agroup backed by companies growing the
crops counters with ads playing heavily on
the airwaves that urge rejection of what they
are calling the farming ban.
The dueling campaigns over a Nov. 4 bal-
lot measure that would prohibit the growing
of genetically modified organisms until stud-
ies show theyre safe isnt just a local issue
in a county of only 160,000 residents in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Experts say the bans effects could ripple
across the nation because some of the worlds
largest corn-seed producers research and
develop new varieties of genetically engi-
neered seeds at their farms in the county.
Kendall Lamkey, chairman of the agrono-
my department at Iowa State University, said
the initiative, if passed, could potentially
make seed development more expensive for
Monsanto Co. and a Dow Chemical Co. sub-
sidiary, Dow AgroSciences.
Its not going to stop it but it will slow it
down, Lamkey said. The companies will
adapt. I mean, there will probably be
workarounds for this that may or may not
cost more money and may or may not raise
the cost of goods to our farmers.
About 90 percent of all corn grown in the
U.S. is genetically engineered and has been
developed partially at farms in Hawaii.
There has been little scientific evidence
showing foods grown from GMO seeds are less
safe than their conventional counterparts. But
fears persist in Hawaii and elsewhere.
In the islands, those concerns are com-
pounded by worries about the companies use
of pesticides.
Whats at stake is whether corporations
can come in here and run our island as a
chemical experiment where they ship out the
profits and we have to deal with the pollu-
tants? said Mark Sheehan, a leader of the
anti-GMO group behind the ban.
Maui to decide whether to ban GMO crops

Drugmakers are racing to develop vac-
cines and drugs to address the worst out-
break of Ebola in history. Its unclear who
will pay for their products, but companies
are betting that governments and aid groups
will foot the bill.
There are no proven drugs or vaccines for
Ebola, in large part because the disease is so
rare that up until now its been hard to
attract research funding. And the West
African nations hardest hit by the outbreak
are unlikely to be able to afford new Ebola
vaccines and drugs.
But governments and corporations now
are shifting millions of dollars to fight
Ebola in the wake of the outbreak that has
infected nearly 10, 000 people and killed
over 4, 800. Experts say drugmakers are
wagering that international groups and
wealthier governments like the U. S. will
buy Ebola vaccines and drugs in mass quan-
tities to stockpile them for future use once
theyre deemed safe.
The political bet is that the U. S. and
World Health Organization have been so
embarrassed and burned by this event that
they will be willing to change the way they
do business, said Professor Lawrence
Gostin of the Georgetown University Law
School, who studies global health issues.
Drugmakers have benefited from stock-
piling before. During the bird flu pandemic
of 2009, Western governments spent bil-
lions to stock up on drugs and vaccines that
mostly went unused. Shelf-life varies by
product, but can be as little as a year.
Still, its unclear who will pay for the
Ebola vaccines that are in development,
even after a WHO meeting on Thursday that
included government officials, drugmakers
and philanthropic groups.
Something concrete needs to be developed
soon, said Dr. Manica Balasegaram of Doctors
Without Borders, who attended the meeting.
This needs to done in tandem for us to prepare
for when these vaccines are deployed in the
larger scale beyond clinical trials.
Even with the uncertainty, drug compa-
nies are rushing to begin testing in
patients.
Johnson & Johnson said last week it will
begin safety testing in early January of a
vaccine combination that could protect
against an Ebola strain that is highly sim-
ilar to the virus that triggered the current
outbreak.
The New Brunswick, New Jersey, compa-
ny is spending up to $200 million to speed
up production of the vaccine, which it
licensed in part from a Danish company last
month. If safety tests are successful, the
company hopes to begin large clinical tri-
als in May 2015.
The two leading Ebola vaccines in the
pipeline have largely been funded by gov-
ernment efforts, but their testing is being
completed by a combination of corporate
and public financing.
Human trials of a vaccine co-developed
by the U. S. National Institutes of Health
and GlaxoSmithKline are being funded by
the company, its charitable trust and funds
from the U. S. and U. K. governments. It is
being tested for safety in the U. S. , U. K. and
Mali. GSK said it might be able to make
about 1 million doses of its vaccine per
month by the end of 2015, assuming that
some logistical and regulatory hurdles can
be overcome.
A small U. S. drugmaker, NewLink
Genetics, holds the license on the second
front-runner vaccine, which was initially
developed by the Public Health Agency of
Canada and has been sent to the U. S. Walter
Reed Army Institute of Research in
Maryland for testing on healthy volunteers,
with preliminary safety results expected by
December.
Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny from the U. N.
health agency told reporters last week that
millions of doses could be available in
2015 in West Africa if early tests proved
that the two leading experimental vaccines
are safe and provoke enough of an immune
response to protect people from being
infected with Ebola. Kieny also said five
other possible Ebola vaccines should start
being tested in March, but she gave no
details about who is making them, or where
those five vaccines would be tested.
Virologist Ben Neuman said the unprece-
dented focus on Ebola also will benefit
smaller companies that are developing
drugs that can slow the diseases, such as
MAPP Pharmaceuticals of San Diego and
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals of Canada.
Drugmakers bet on Ebola vaccines, treatments
By David McHugh
FRANKFURT, Germany The European
Central Bank says 13 of Europes 130
biggest banks have flunked an in-depth
review of their finances and need an extra
10 billion euros ($12. 5 billion) to cushion
themselves against any future crises.
Although the landmark review identified
only a handful of weak banks, ECB officials
said Sunday that it was tough enough to
ensure Europes banks will be purged of the
bad investments that have made some of
them hold back on lending.
That means the banks will be ready to
lend to businesses when the economy final-
ly picks up, they said.
The results guarantee that going forward
the economic recovery will not be ham-
pered by credit supply restrictions, said
ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio.
Yet after months of talk about banks that
were zombies walking dead, too weak
to lend it appeared unlikely that any
would be put out of business by the reviews
results.
The ECB, working with the European
Banking Authority, checked the worth of
banks holdings in a so-called asset quality
review and subjected the banks to a stress
test that simulates how their finances would
fare in an economic downturn.
The ECB said 25 banks were found to need
25 billion euros. Of those, 12 had already
made up their shortfall during the months in
which the ECB was carrying out its review,
which was based on bank finances at the
end of 2013. They found money by issuing
new shares, or by shedding risky invest-
ments or loan businesses that reduced the
amount of capital needed to backstop those
holdings.
The remaining 13 now have two weeks to
tell the ECB how they plan to increase their
capital buffers and up to nine months to
actually carry out the plan.
The hope is that by then, the banking
system will be healthy enough to support,
not hinder, the economy of the 18-country
eurozone. The currency bloc did not grow at
all in the second quarter, after four quarters
of weak recovery.
As it prepares to become the eurozones
banking regulator, the ECB is under pres-
sure to show its review will be more effec-
tive than similar tests carried out by the EU
in 2010 and 2011 that gave a pass to banks
that later needed bailouts. It had more infor-
mation because it started with a thorough
review of bank holdings, and used tougher
financial definitions. For example, it found
136 billion euros in previously unidenti-
fied loans and other assets that were shaky
and not being paid back on time.
Its good to have the most obvious dead
bodies brought up out of the basement,
said Michael Koetter, professor at the
Frankfurt School of Finance &
Management.
He added it was only a start: I think it
would be naive to believe that one diligence
exercise is going to get us to a clean slate
and a new era.
Koetter said it remains to be seen how
Europes new banking oversight system
will work when it actually has to shut down
a bank, a painful process that can provoke
political opposition from the banks home
government. A new agency to do that,
called the single resolution board, will
come fully on line only in 2016.
Nicolas Veron, senior fellow at the
Bruegel think tank in Brussels, noted that
the review accomplished much by forcing
banks to take steps ahead of time.

Menlo-Atherton has had its ups and
downs this season, but the silver lining has
been the teams ability to utilize such a
youthful backfield.
The Bears have rushed for 600-plus yards
over their past three games, with a new run-
ning back emerging each week. And the
consistent attack, with a rotating cast of
characters, is attributed to M-As solid
offensive front, especially its right side of
guard Api Mane and tackle Bryce Rodgers.
I think theyre playing well together,
M-A head coach Sione Taufoou And I
think the backs are hitting the holes and
doing a good job with their eyes.
It was after a 35-14 loss to Burlingame
on Oct. 10 when
Taufoou point-
ed out the secret
to his teams
ground game.
Despite the loss,
Bears sophomore
Stavro Papadakis
had a career night, rushing for 158 yards on
28 carries. But Taufoou insisted the credit
belonged to the offensive line.
So the following week the Bears launched
another ground attack featuring yet another
sophomore, Jordan Mims. The tailback
went to town in his varsity debut, netting
181 yards on 26 carries in a 21-14 win over
Sequoia, marking M-As only victory of the
season to date in Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division play.
Last Friday, while Mims gave another
solid effort by carrying 20 times for 107
yards, M-A saw another debut from running
back Maua Teo and the junior tabbed 76
rushing yards on 14 carries.
Yet, with all the interchangeable parts,
M-A has kept the approach simple, featur-
ing the same playbook for the 5-10, 225-
pound Papadakis as it has for the 5-9, 150-
pound Mims.
We consistently run the same plays,
Mane said. Our sophomores are really
young and we dont want to put a lot on
their plate.
Mane and Rodgers both know about hav-
ing a lot on their plate as underclassmen.
Each transferred to M-A following their
respective freshman seasons. For Mane, the
transition was a little easier. He came in
from Milpitas High School, where he
played right tackle for the varsity squad as a
freshman. In fact, Milpitas almost collided

Bumgarners
four-hitter has
Giants one win
away from title
By Howard Ulman
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Nearly every
time Tom Brady dropped back, he hit his tar-
get.
In one of the best performances of his bril-
liant career, the New England Patriots quarter-
back threw five touchdown passes and com-
pleted 30 of 35 passes. And four of the incom-
pletions were drops.
The Patriots stayed on their roll with their
fourth straight win Sunday, 51-23 over the
sputtering Chicago Bears. So did Brady, who
has thrown for 1,268 yards, 14 touchdowns
and no interceptions in those games.
I love coaching Tom. Ive been fortunate
to have him the whole career since hes been
here, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. He
does a great job of executing the team game
plan.
He certainly did on Sunday with three
touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski and
one each to Brandon LaFell and Tim Wright.
And he did it against a Bears team trying to
rebound from a tumultuous week that began
with a 27-14 home loss to the Miami
Dolphins. Afterward, wide receiver Brandon
Marshall was heard screaming in an emotion-
al locker room. Coach Marc Trestman and
quarterback Jay Cutler downplayed the
postgame scene during the week.
Whatever happened, it didnt help the Bears
play better.
After Sundays defeat, Marshall told
reporters waiting to enter the locker room,
put your ears closer to the door. But no out-
bursts were heard.
Brady was meticulous, Trestman said and
the Patriots did everything on offense beau-
tifully.
New England (6-2) scored on all five of its
possessions in the first half and one of
Chicagos. The Bears (3-5) fell behind 45-7
early in the second half and lost for the fourth
time in five games.
Brady passed for 354 yards with a comple-
tion percentage of 85.7, third best in his 227
games during the regular season and playoffs.
His passer rating of 148.4 was his eighth
highest in his 15-year career.
Theres a lot of (defensive) looks Ive seen
over the years, he said, so its hard to really
surprise me with certain things.
Defensive end Rob Ninkovich scored with
55 seconds left in the first half on a 15-yard
return of Cutlers fumble, the Patriots third
touchdown in 57 seconds.
That stretch was agonizing, said Cutler.
I think everyones surprised. You dont
expect to get out and beat like that.
Since losing to the Bears 46-10 in the
Super Bowl ending the 1985 season, the
Patriots are 7-1 against them.
Chicago was 3-1 on the road and had hope
after last weekends implosion. So imagine
how the coming week will be after the
blowout.
On their first five possessions, the Patriots
scored on a 6-yard pass to Gronkowski, a 23-
yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski, and
passes of 1 yard to Wright, 2 yards to
Gronkowski and 9 yards to LaFell.
The defense got into the act when Darrelle
Revis intercepted Cutlers desperation pass
on the last play of the first half.
Were a team on a mission, said Revis,
looking ahead to next Sundays home game
against Peyton Manning and the Denver
Broncos. This is going to be two great
teams going out there.
The Patriots started the second half with an
80-play drive capped by Bradys 46-yard
touchdown pass to Gronkowski.
The tight end is a big, physical guy,
Bears linebacker Sean McClellin said. He
can run well. He had great hands. And when
you put that with a quarterback like tom
Brady, hes going to be tough to defend for
anyone.
Gronkowski had nine catches for 146 yards
before leaving midway through the third quar-
ter with dehydration, and LaFell had 11 recep-
tions for 124 yards.

Sammy Fanua rushed for four touchdowns
and College of San Mateo ran for eight
scores overall as the Bulldogs (2-0 in Bay 6
Conference, 6-1 overall) routed winless
Dons 61-14 Saturday at De Anza.
De Anza (0-2, 0-7) led for six minutes fol-
lowing a first-quarter touchdown to take a 7-
6 advantage. Then the Bulldogs unleashed a
ground game which accounted for 288 rush-
ing yards as a team. Not one CSM player,
however, gained over 100 yards. Nine dif-
ferent Bulldogs carried the ball, with fresh-
man Michael Allen totaling a game-high 76
yards on seven carries with two touch-
downs.
We were rotating quite a bit at the run-
ning back position so a lot of the guys got
touches, CSM head coach Bret Pollack
said.
Allen entered the game midway through
the third quarter with CSM enjoying a com-
fortable lead. But Fanua and halfback
Michael Latu paved the way. Latu ran for 68
yards on nine carries, his highest rushing
total since returning the previous week after
missing three games due to injury.
Weve got quite a bit of quality depth, so
that (performance by Latu) was encouraging
to see, Pollack said.
CSM got on the board in the first quarter
after its defense provided excellent field
position for the teams second possession.
Bulldogs defensive end Adam Sagapolu and
linebacker Taylor Mashack teamed for a big
third-down stop to force De Anza to punt
from its own 9-yard line. Three plays later,
after Latu rambled for 27 yards into the red
zone, Fanua punched in a 3-yard score to
give CSM a 6-0 lead.
A blocked extra-point attempt by the
Dons opened the door for their only lead of
the game, when Milo Small connected with
James Rose for a 5-yard touchdown strike to
give De Anza a 7-6 edge.
We didnt come out ready to play but after
some poignant conversation, we got on
track, Pollack said. The defense had some
poignant discussion on the sideline about
giving up the first score. They responded to
the talks by [defensive coordinator Tim
Tulloch].
The Bulldogs responded with eight unan-
swered touchdowns, beginning midway
through the second quarter. Latu and Fanua
had two apiece in the second quarter, all
from close range. Fanua capped the opening
drive of the second half with his fourth
score of the game, a 6-yard run which was
set up by a pair of passes from Justin
Burgess to Kevin Kutchera for 44 and 10
yards.
Allen entered the game and tallied two
rushing scores in the third quarter, with a
defensive score sandwiched between when
sophomore defensive back Jordan Sheppard
produced his first interception of the year
and returned it 39 yards to the end zone.
De Anza accounted for the games final
score with 44 seconds remaining on the
clock, when Nathaniel Facciolla hit Eric
Adair for a 15-yard touchdown pass.
CSM outgained De Anza in total yards
374-152. The Bulldogs were 5 for 7 on
third-down conversions. CSM sophomore
linebacker Randy Allen tabbed one sack to
improve his season total to 8 1/2 sacks,
currently ranking seventh in the California
Community College Athletic Association.
After the first quarter we were fine,
Pollack said. I didnt like we played the
football game early on but hopefully well
fix that next week.
In other Bay 6 Conference action, City
College of San Francisco walloped Santa
Rosa 70-0. CCSF totaled 434 yards of
offense, including quarterback Anthony
Rodriguezs 388 yards passing on 22-of-34
completions including six touchdown
throws. Diablo Valley won its fourth
straight 35-7 over Foothill. CCSF, Diablo
Valley and CSM remain tied atop the Bay 6
with identical records at 2-0 in conference,

Hoyer threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to
Andrew Hawkins early in the fourth period,
shortly after safety Whitners big hit on
Oakland running back Darren McFadden forced
a fumble that was caught in the air by Haden
and returned 34 yards.
Once he hit Hawkins, Hoyer, who bounced
back from the worst game of his career, head-
ed to the bench and slapped hands with
Whitner and Haden.
I was just pumped up,
Hoyer said. We finally
got a touchdown off one of
their turnovers and to
finally capitalize on
something the defense did
felt good. I wanted to make
sure I celebrated with those
guys.
The Browns matched
their win total from last season. They also
dodged what would have been an historic loss.
Cleveland fell at Jacksonville last week, giv-
ing the Jaguars their first win. According to
STATS, no team in NFL history has lost con-
secutive games to winless teams in Week 7 or
later.
It was hardly a perfect performance, but the
Browns, held to 39 yards rushing and able to
convert only 2 of 12 third downs, will take it.
Youre not always going to win, and its
not always going to be pretty, Hoyer said.
But sometimes you have to win the game that
way, and we were able to, and it took a total
team effort.
Ben Tates 5-yard run, set up by rookie quar-
terback Derek Carrs fumble, put the Browns
ahead 23-6 with 2:26 left.
Hoyer finished 19 of 28 for 275 yards and no
interceptions. He quieted the growing calls for
the Browns to switch to rookie Johnny
Manziel for at least another week.
Good enough to win, Browns coach Mike
Pettine said, assessing Hoyers game. He
made the plays when he needed to make them.
The Raiders have lost 13 straight dating to
last season. Oakland has dropped 16 games in
a row played in the Eastern time zone a
streak that started in 2009.
Anytime you come out on the road and you
turn the ball over three times, youre not
going to win, interim coach Tony Sparano
said. Youre not going to win anywhere.
Carr showed poise and his powerful arm in
completing 34 of 54 passes for 328 yards and
a TD with 7 seconds left.
Clevelands Billy Cundiff kicked field goals
of 52, 33 and 26 yards. Sebastian Janikowski
made two field goals for the Raiders, who
havent won since Nov. 17, 2013, at Houston.
Clevelands defense saved the Browns.
With Oakland down 9-6 and driving,
Whitner came up with his biggest play since
joining his hometown Browns. McFadden
broke free for a 9-yard run when Whitner deliv-
ered his hit at the Cleveland 20. Haden returned
it to the Oakland 47.
I lost sight of the ball and the next thing I
know I see Joe running towards me, Pettine
said. I heard the crowd, so I knew something
good happened.
On the next play, Hoyer found Hawkins for a
32-yard gain. Three plays later, Hoyer rolled
left and threw his TD pass to the undersized
wide receiver, who had seven catches for 88
yards.
Already sputtering, the Browns offense,
missing Pro Bowl center Alex Mack, lost Pro
Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron to a concus-
sion.
Cameron was injured when he was struck in
the head by safety Brandian Ross while mak-
ing a diving catch for 21 yards. Ross was
assessed a personal foul for his blow to a
defenseless receiver.
Early on, Clevelands main problem was an
inability to finish drives. Twice the Browns
moved the ball inside the Oakland 20, but set-
tled for Cundiffs 3-pointers.
But the Browns had enough to win.

with M-A in the Central Coast Section
Division I championship game that season,
but was eliminated by Serra the week previ-
ous in the semifinals.
Two years later, a year after Mane arrived
at M-A as a sophomore transfer, Rodgers
moved transferred from Lancaster where he
attended Paraclete High School as a fresh-
man. As reserved as was Rodgers, not
knowing anyone in town upon his arrival,
he and Mane made quick friends.
Ive known [Mane] since the first day I
got to M-A, Rodgers said. He was one of
the leaders at that time as well. So, he
introduced himself and helped me get assim-
ilated into M-A both in school and on the
football field.
Along with left tackle Casey Gernaat,
Mane is one two team captains on the M-A
offensive line. He and Rodgers have helped
create a steady environment for their up-
and-coming backfield. And even if the
results dont show this season the Bears
are off to a 2-5 overall start and are just 1-2
in PAL Bay Division play the leadership
from Mane has served as a major building
block.
Hes a passionate, true
leader, Rodgers said. I
love playing next to
him. Hes made me
more mature, for sure.
Its a characteristic
Rodgers hopes to carry
over into next season.
I think everybody has
to step up to be one of
those leaders, but Im
trying to be one of those
people who people look
up to, Rodgers said.
Im trying to be one of
those people right now.
Its something Mane
takes pride in as the
Bears attempt to gain
momentum going into
the final three weeks of
the regular season. They have their tough-
est test coming this week, with Fridays
Halloween matchup against undefeated
Sacred Heart Prep. But the potential to fin-
ish strong thereafter against Terra Nova and
rival Woodside each of which currently
own identical records to M-A is certainly
on the table for the maroon-and-gold.
I think a lot of the offensive linemen,
they really look up to me when it comes
down to the wire, Mane said. They expect
me to be the one to keep my head up. When
were having hard times on the line, theyre
looking to me to stay positive and move
on to the next play.
The tandem of Mane and Rodgers showed
the ability to move as the first half wound
down last Friday at Menlo. After Menlo
jumped out to a 21-14 lead, the Bears took
over at their own 20-yard line and quickly
soldiered down the field. M-A executed
seven plays all running plays five of
which went to the right side, including a
32-yard gain by Mims to move across mid-
field. The following play was a 4-yard
advance to the left side by Mims, with
Mane and Rodgers pulling left to lead the
charge.
Two plays later, Mane and Rodgers
opened up a big hole on the right side
which Teo exploited for a 28-yard touch-
down run.
Had it not been for a blocked point after
attempt, the score would have tied the game
heading into the second half. Insofar as the
performance of the O-line though, it was
mission accomplished.
The offensive line is working hard to
push the whole defensive line back into the
secondary, Rodgers said. We were just try-
ing to be one unit and I thought we did
pretty well.

Earnhardt wins
at Martinsville
By Jenna Fryer
MARTINSVILLE, Va. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
recognized the emotional impact his win at
Martinsville Speedway had on Rick Hendrick
when he met his boss in Victory Lane.
The team owner embraced the driver who
delivered the win at the track that has caused
so much heartbreak and joy. Martinsville
was Hendricks home track as a child grow-
ing up in Virginia, the place where Hendrick
Motorsports had it first career victory.
But it was 10 years ago this weekend that
an HMS plane on its way to the race crashed,
killing all 10 on board. Lost on that day were
Hendricks son, brother, twin nieces, the
team general manger, head engine builder, a
key sponsor representative, two Hendrick
pilots and a pilot for Tony Stewart.
His four drivers try desperately to win at
Martinsville for Hendrick, for the organiza-
tion, for those who died that October day.
I could feel how important it was to him
and his embrace when he hugged me,
Earnhardt said. Theres a genuine hug and
theres a hug. His was the real deal. This is
the 10th anniversary. Its more difficult. The
10th anniversary sort of has you reflecting
and remembering.
It was fitting that it was Earnhardt who car-
ried the Hendrick banner on this difficult day.
He lost his father, Hall of Famer Dale
Earnhardt, in a fatal accident on the final lap
of the 2001 Daytona 500.

ANAHEIM After two weeks of mediocre
play, the San Jose Sharks unleashed their frus-
tration on the Anaheim Ducks, filling the net
and the penalty box during a fight-filled rout
that just might put them back on track.
The Ducks responded with plenty of punch-
es, but not nearly enough solid play to keep up
with their unfriendly Pacific Division rivals.
Joe Pavelski and Tommy Wingels scored
power-play goals, and the Sharks emphatical-
ly snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-
1 victory Sunday night.
Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also
scored for the Sharks, who ended Anaheims
seven-game winning streak with just their sec-
ond victory in seven games. They also traded
punches with the Ducks in several fights and
numerous scrums, leading to 165 combined
penalty minutes and the team togetherness
that still seems to result from old-time hockey
fisticuffs.
Its nice to see guys
step up for one another,
Vlasic said. Guys love it.
Doesnt matter who it is
when guys step up and get
in somebodys face and
fight.
Antti Niemi made 33
saves as San Jose rebound-
ed aggressively from an
embarrassing home loss
to lowly Buffalo on Saturday, taking a 3-0 lead
after two dominant periods. The third turned
into a prolonged brawl featuring 127 penalty
minutes and ending with Ryan Getzlaf and
Corey Perry in the Ducks dressing room.
Thats hockey, I guess, said San Joses
Adam Burish, who got a misconduct penalty
for scrapping with Nate Thompson with 6:04
to play. Its a rivalry. Its two good teams that
dont like each other, two elite teams, and
those things can happen.
Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture had two
assists apiece for the Sharks.
Niemi believes a bruising victory can bring
a team together: I think for sure. I hope thats
what it does. I think thats what it should do.
Matt Beleskey scored for the Western
Conference-leading Ducks, who hadnt lost
since opening night on Oct. 9.
Frederik Andersen stopped 33 shots, but his
10-start winning streak ended as Anaheim
wrapped up a five-game homestand in unim-
pressive fashion.
The whole game was pretty deflating for
us, said Getzlaf, who got sent off after fight-
ing James Sheppard with 3:06 to play. Weve
been playing pretty good hockey as of late,
and youre going to play one of these kinds of
games once in a while. It just (stinks) that it
has to be against these guys.
Although the Ducks are off to another strong
start, they couldnt match last October.
Anaheim won its first eight home games last
season and went 20-0-2 before its first regula-
tion defeat in late January.
Andersen also wasnt exceptional in his first
loss since March 29 last season, yielding two
first-period goals and failing to stop Vlasics
unassuming backhand in the second. The
Danish netminder had been 6-0 this season
with a 1.32 goals-against average, becoming
the first goalie in NHL history to win 26 of his
first 31 decisions.
We werent ready from the beginning,
Andersen said. They lost last night, so they
came out strong, and we werent ready for
that. Thats just not good enough. We got
the two points the last seven games, but I
think we started thinking it was probably a
little bit too easy.
Shortly after Perry and Justin Braun left with
misconducts in the third period, a multiplayer
brawl broke out in the corner. The officials
ruled that San Joses John Scott left the bench
to engage, possibly earning a suspension in a
fight that ended with Andersen pulling players
off the pile.
I dont know how they came up with that,
but that was a mistake, San Jose Coach
Todd McLellan said, asserting Scott was on
the ice legally.

only 12 hits in 31 innings, along with 27
strikeouts, and that adds up to the very defini-
tion of Big-Game Pitcher.
Hes so fun to watch. Hes always fun to
watch, teammate Brandon Crawford said. In
the postseason, you could look at him and he
looks like hes just pitching in the middle of
June, like its no big deal. He takes the pres-
sure off of everybody else. We just feed off of
him.
On this evening, he fanned eight without a
walk and never was in trouble, becoming the
first pitcher to toss a World Series shutout
since Josh Becketts clinching gem for the
Florida Marlins in 2003 at Yankee Stadium.
The Giants work isnt done yet. To lock up
their third crown in five years, theyll need to
win in Kansas City.
Jake Peavy gets the first chance to seal it for
San Francisco when he starts Game 6 at
Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night against
rookie Yordano Ventura.
If the Giants dont win then, there was
always this possibility: Bumgarner out of the
bullpen in Game 7.
Hunter Pence once again was in the middle of
things for Giants. He singled off James
Shields in the second and scored on a ground-
out by Crawford, who finished with three
RBIs.
Later, the enigmatic Pence accidentally
threw his bat past the mound while striking
out, and seemed to apologize to Shields. Pence
added another hit in a three-run eighth, making
him 9 for 19 in the five games.
Postseason star Pablo Sandoval also singled
twice. Juan Perez broke it open with a two-run
double off the top of the center-field fence in
the eighth off Wade Davis and scored on a sin-
gle by Crawford.
Since trailing 4-1 in Game 4, the Giants
have responded with 15 straight runs. San
Francisco won that game, putting aside con-
cern that Bumgarner shouldve been moved up
to pitch on short rest.
Bumgarner won for the fourth time in this
postseason, and this blanking bookended the
four-hit shutout he threw at Pittsburgh in the
NL wild-card game. Durable, hes thrown 47 2-
3 innings this October, trailing just
Schillings 48 1-3 in 2001 for the most in a
single postseason.
Given an early lead, Bumgarner was in con-
trol. He surely didnt need much of a cushion,
and looked even better than he did in winning
the opener in Kansas City.
And on the rare occasion when the 6-foot-5
Bumgarner made a mistake, failing to cover
first base on a grounder to the right side, his
defense bailed him out.
Toward the late innings, it appeared that
only a lightning strike could rescue the
Royals, perhaps a home run out of nowhere.
Not happening this was the third straight
game without either team hitting a homer, the
longest streak in the World Series since 1948
when the Boston Braves and Cleveland began
with a three-game drought, STATS said.
Exactly why the man nicknamed MadBum is
so dominant isnt easily apparent. Royals
cleanup man Eric Hosmer said before the game
that Bumgarners cross-body delivery is
tough to pick up.
Bumgarner definitely has an impressive
whip, along with an imposing WHIP in the
World Series. His walks-plus-hits ratio per
inning is incredible.
Bumgarner certainly excels at keeping hit-
ters swinging at shadows by changing speeds.
Kansas City batters chased balls that bounced
as well as high ones out of the strike zone.
After Salvador Perez led off the second with a
single he homered in Game 1 for the lone
run off Bumgarner the slow-walking lefty
who never seems to be in a hurry made quick
work of the Royals.
Bumgarner struck out the next three batters,
all swinging. He was at his best against pesky
Omar Infante on three pitches: a 76 mph curve,
a fastball at 91 and a slider at 86.
About the only thing Bumgarner didnt do
was get a hit. He takes pride in his plate
prowess and launched four home runs this sea-
son, including two grand slams. Bumgarner
went 0 for 4, leaving him hitless in 22 post-
season at-bats.
Yep, hes still got some work to do.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras, a
22-year-old slugger who was regarded as one
of the majors top prospects, died Sunday in a
car accident in his native Dominican
Republic.
Taveras was driving a 2014 Chevrolet
Camaro at the time of the crash on a highway
between the beaches of Sosua and Cabarete in
Puerto Plata, about 215 miles north of the cap-
ital of Santo Domingo, said Col. Diego
Pesqueira of the Metropolitan Transportation
Agency.
He wasnt carrying document at the time of
the accident, but his body was identified by
family members, Pesqueira said.
National police spokesman Jacobo Mateo
Moquete said he was told by the mayor of
Sosua that Taveras lost control of his vehicle
and went off the road. Edilia Arvelo, 18, who
was in the car with Taveras, also died in the
accident, said Pesqueira.
Taveras made his major league debut this year.
He hit .239 with three homers and 22 RBIs in
80 games for the NLCentral champions.
I simply cant believe it, Cardinals gener-
al manager John Mozeliak said in a release. I
first met Oscar when he was 16 years old and
will forever remember him as a wonderful
young man who was a gifted athlete with an
infectious love for life who lived every day to
the fullest.
Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said the
organization was stunned and deeply sad-
dened by Taveras death.
Oscar was an amazing talent with a bright
future who was taken from us well before his
time, DeWitt said. Our thoughts and prayers
are with his family and friends tonight.
Taveras was a teenager when he signed with
St. Louis as an international free agent in
2008. Before this season, Taveras was ranked
as the No. 3 overall prospect by MLB.com and
Baseball America, and had a.321 average over
six minor league seasons.
He homered against the Giants Yusmeiro
Petit in his major league debut on May 31. He
also had a big solo drive in the seventh inning
of Game 2 in the NL Championship Series
against San Francisco.
All of us throughout Major League Baseball
are in mourning this evening, baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig said in a release.
Oscar, a young member of the baseball
family, was full of promise and at the dawn of
a wonderful career in our game, evident in his
game-tying home run against the Giants
exactly two weeks ago.
It looked as if Taveras was headed to the
majors in 2013, but he had surgery for a high
right ankle sprain last August for an injury that
did not respond to treatment. He then got off
to a nice start at Triple-AMemphis this sea-
son, earning a promotion by batting .325
with seven homers in 49 games.
Oscar had a very promising future, on and
off the field, and this news is heartbreaking on
many levels, Tony Clark, the leader of the
players association, said in a statement. Its
never easy to lose a member of our fraternity,
and to lose one so young is devastating news.
Several of Taveras Cardinals teammates
took to Twitter to express their condolences.
Last 30 minutes Ive been sick to my stom-
ach. Keep thinking about Oscars big smile in
the dugout whenever we made a big play/got a
big hit, All-Star reliever Pat Neshek posted.
Rookie second baseman Kolten Wong
tweeted: RIP you will be missed buddy.

Cards rookie Taveras dies in car accident in Dominican Republic
JASON VINLOVE/USA TODAY SPORTS
Cardinals rookie Oscar Taveras,who hit a home run in his rst major league game against the
Giants in May, then again here in Game 2 of the 2014 NLCS, died Sunday at age 22.
SAN FRANCISCO Juan Perez
heard an upsetting rumor from a
baseball official in the dugout dur-
ing Game 5 of the World Series
then hurried up the steps to the San
Francisco Giants clubhouse to lis-
ten to the television broadcast for
the news.
I just overheard behind my back,
Oscar Taveras has had a car acci-
dent. He has died, Perez said, get-
ting choked up as he recalled the
memory still fresh in his head.
Wiping away tears, Perez provid-
ed the biggest moment of his young
career. The left fielder entered as a
pinch runner in the sixth inning and
broke the game open with a two-run
double off the top of the center-field
wall in the eighth, helping the
Giants beat the Kansas City Royals
5-0 on Sunday night to take a 3-2
lead in the best-of-seven series.
Perez dedicated the double to his
fallen friend and fellow countryman.
It took me probably three
innings to think over it. I knew I
just had to regroup, Perez said. I
took everything away and focused
on the game.
Perez met Taveras in 2009 and the
two later played winter ball togeth-
er for Aguilas Cibaenas in the
Dominican Republic.

NDB rallied in the champi-
onship game to sweep Harker 26-
24, 25-17. The Tigers fell behind
23-19 in Game 1, but got service
runs from McDonald and Katie
Smoot to outscore Harker 7-1 to
force overtime to win it.
It was just a great battle, NDB
head coach Jen Agresti said.
[Harker] is a phenomenal team
but geez, what a great win.
Facing the four-point deficit in
the first set, Agresti called a time-
out to settle down her team. The
fan turnout for the championship
match was a good one, according
to Agresti. And the Tigers were
feeding off the energy of the
crowd, which caused them to get a
little over-amped.
They just clamped down, Agresti
said. There was so much energy in
the gym as a coach I was nervous,
and Im not even playing.
McDonald went on to steady her
team with nine kills throughout.
Morabe totaled 29 assists and jun-
ior Katie Warburton had 12 digs.
The Tigers dropped just one set
on the day to improve their over-
all record to 28-4. NDB topped
Fortuna, Lynbrook and Head-
Royce in pool play before sweep-
ing Sequoia in the semifinals.
It was the second big tourna-
ment showing in as many weeks
for the Tigers, who took third
place at the Stockton Classic Oct.
18 at San Joaquin Delta College.
Smoot was named to the all-tour-
nament team in Stockton after
totaling 45 kills to help NDB to a
4-2 tourney record.
For Smoot who at 6-1 is still
a sophomore the Stockton
Classic was a chance to see one of
her prep idols in action, Mitty
senior Alexa Dreyer. While NDB
and Mitty didnt cross paths in
Stockton, the two teams matched
up last Tuesday in West Catholic
Athletic League play, as the
Monarchs swept NDB behind
Dreyers match-high 11 kills.
For me, that was really cool
because all [Mittys] players go
Division I, Smoot said. But to
me, Alexa Dreyer, shes just really
strong and puts up an awesome
blocks thats almost impossible to
get around for me.
Smoot managed just four kills
against Mitty, but noted the
Tigers played exceptionally well
in the 25-19, 25-16, 25-14 loss.
It was the best match we played
this year, Smoot said.
For Sequoia, Saturdays 3-2
Tiger Cup tournament record was
something of a moral victory con-
sidering the team has been struck
by the injury bug. In addition to
star outside hitter Leanne
Robinson playing through a bout
with the flu, sophomore middle
Julia Carlson did not play after
sustaining a sprained ankle in
practice last Wednesday. She could
be out for the year.
Also, senior setter Angela
Hudelson bound for New Yorks
St. Francis College in the fall was
out of action with a shoulder injury.
Hudelsons injury, however, has
opened the door for a sophomore
call-up in Emma Cheatham. And after
just two previous varsity matches
this season, Cheatham stepped in to
make a seamless transition in her
first varsity tournament.
Shes a good hustler, Hudelson
said of her replacement. She goes
for everything; and shes a lot bet-
ter at defense than I am.
Sequoia head coach Dustyn
Woropay didnt entirely agree with
Hudelsons humble assessment of
her own defense. But Woropay is
equally as pleased with
Cheathams performance, and said
he is considering keeping the
sophomore on the varsity roster
even after Hudelson returns, which
will likely happen this week. It is
the longest stint on the injured list
of her four-year varsity career.
Woropay could have opted for
senior Camille Louie to return to
the setter position. Louie garnered
two all-league nods at the position,
first as an honorable mention as a
freshman in 2011 then as a second-
team selection as a sophomore.
She has since transitioned to the
Cherokees top libero though. And
Woropay, who describes Louie as
the scrappiest player weve got,
did not want to weaken his starting
lineup at two positions.
Hudelson said the injury has an
upside, giving her a fresh perspec-
tive on the game.
Sometimes I just want to get in
there, Hudelson said. But its
good for me to sit back and watch.
Its kind of a learning experience.
So, its not all that bad.

I
ve faced reality. Im the old guy at work
(though I can still lead our softball team). Of our
115 employees, just two an ofcer and our
nance manager have longer continuous tenures.
When supporters and adopters relay stories of their
adoption experiences, the obedience class they loved
or the special event they attended, these experiences
always fall into my 16 years at PHS/SPCA. That is,
almost always. This past week, we heard from an
adopter who took home one of our cats 18 years ago.
She wrote to let us know her cat is doing well and
they are about to celebrate her 19th birthday in a few
months. Amazing! No need for me to give this advice
to her, but I hope it can help others help their cats
live long lives. First, spay or neuter! This can great-
ly reduce or eliminate the risk of some forms of can-
cer. Second, keep your cat indoors where they are not
at risk of being hit by cars, ingesting something
toxic or being attacked by other cats, dogs or
wildlife. Regular grooming can lead to fewer ingested
hairballs and subsequent intestinal issues. Make sure
to change your cats diet as he or she ages. Senior
cats need food that helps them keep weight off while
also offering them extra nutrients they need. Also,
dont free feed (leave the food out all day) as this can
lead to obesity, a leading cause of serious health
issues and death among older cats. Monitor dental
health, as dental disease can be a serious health prob-
lem for cats in their older years (and cause a serious
dent in your pocketbook!). Keep your older cat stimu-
lated with indoor activities, toys and your attention,
as this will help maintain her mental health. And,
schedule an annual trip to your vet. Our friend with
the soon-to-be 19-year-old kitty visits her vet twice
annually!

NEW YORK The spirits moved
Ouija to No. 1 at the box office,
with the board-game adaption lead-
ing the weekend with a $20 million
debut, according to studio estimates
Sunday.
The horror movie release, timed to
Halloween, attracted more moviego-
ers at the North America box office
t han t he vi ol ent Keanu Reeves
thriller John Wick. The R-rated
hit-man revenge tale from Lionsgate
opened with $14. 2 million in second
place.
Last weeks top film, the Brad Pitt
World War II action film Fury, slid
to third with $13 million. In two
weeks, the Sony Pictures release has
made $46. 1 million.
Board-game adapt i ons such as
Ouija have had a checkered history
at the box office, with the big-budg-
et Battleship the last Hasbro
game turned into a movie famous-
ly flopping in 2012. But Ouija,
made by Blumhouse Productions and
released by Universal Pictures, was
made for just $5 million, and scared
up moviegoers with a micro-budget
summoning of brand-name occult.
Universal also could claim the top
spot in the worlds other top market,
China, where the Scarlett Johansson
sci-fi film Lucy opened with $19
mi l l i on. Si nce openi ng i n Jul y,
Lucy has made $434 mi l l i on
worl dwi de, provi ng t he gl obal
appeal of Johansson.
Two Fox releases rounded out the
domestic top five. David Finchers
marital noir Gone Girl, starring
Ben Affleck, made $11. 1 million in
its fourth week, bringing its cumula-
tive total to $124 million. It will
soon pass Finchers The Curious
Case of Benjamin Button ($127. 5
million) to mark the directors top
box office hit.
In its second week of release, the
animated fantasy The Book of Life
earned $9. 8 million.
As Hol l ywoods awards season
begins to heat up, limited-release
titles also made noise at the box
office. Easily leading all films in
per-screen average were Alejandro
Inarritus black comedy Birdman (or
The Unexpect ed Vi rt ue of
Ignorance), st arri ng Mi chael
Keat on, and t he Edward Snowden
documentary Citizenfour.
Laura Poitras Citizenfour drew a
$25, 000 average opening in five

The 2014 San Mateo County Association of Realtors Annual Charity Spaghetti Feed Auction and Casino to benefit the SAMCAR
Foundation was Thursday,Sept.18 at the Peninsula Italian American Social Club.Two-hundred Realtors and affiliate members
along with their families enjoyed an evening of casino fun, raffle and a spaghetti dinner. The event raised $12,000 for the
SAMCAR Foundation,which benefits individuals in the community to enhance their quality of life through financial programs,
education and housing-related initiatives throughout San Mateo County.Past grant recipients have included CORA,Caminar,
Mission Hospice, HIP Housing, InnVision/Shelter Network and the Housing Endowment and Regional Trust.
LOCAL 21
includes Half Moon Bay and San Mateo
County each receiving 1. 5 percent and the
state taking 6. 5 percent.
Councilmembers Rick Kowalczyk and
Marina Fraser argue there wont be a sales
tax increase and without the extension the
city would have a hard time financing its
portion of a proposed $22 million library.
The sales tax ensures visitors contribute,
it doesnt apply to groceries or prescription
medications and the revenue would be spent
on community-identified projects such as
improving streets, parks and more, Fraser
said.
Public input has told us what they want
us to spend the money on and weve
proven weve spent wisely because were
climbing ourselves out of this huge debt,
Fraser said. Were spending exactly what
the community has asked us to do and all
this money stays in Half Moon Bay and is
controlled in Half Moon Bay.
Opponent George Gipe, a Half Moon Bay
resident whose wife owns a downtown busi-
ness, said the city is in solid financial foot-
ing and owns valuable real estate like the
Beachwood property. The council has spent
wastefully, such as hiring design consult-
ants during the Main Street Bridge debacle
and the sales tax is burdensome to residents
and merchants, Gipe said.
Their approach to the budget is always
to increase taxes, [propose] paid parking
downtown, shifting sidewalk liability to
residents; but they took no action to market
their [valuable real estate] properties, Gipe
said.
Funding mechanisms
While Measure O has been touted as a
solution to building a new library in Half
Moon Bay, Gipe said the tax will only gen-
erate around $3 million and theres no way
Measure O can fund all thats been prom-
ised.
It doesnt substantially fund the library,
they also mentioned they would do other
things, which makes it even more prepos-
terous, Gipe said.
Kowalczyk agreed Measure O will not
completely fund the citys $10 million to
$11 million portion of the library, but it
will provide the council with ability to
secure financing. The annual income from
Measure O will help the city secure a gener-
al fund lease.
Gipe said sales taxes are burdensome on
local shoppers and Half Moon Bay has one
of the highest rates in Northern California.
It means residents have to pay more,
Gipe said. Sales taxes in general arent
good. What you want people to do, espe-
cially if youre in a recession, is you want
consumption. Youre penalizing people
for doing what you want them to do. It does-
nt make sense.
Gipe added the city already increased its
hotel occupancy tax to have visitors help
pay for city services.
Kowalczyk and Fraser said the city is lim-
ited in other funding options and it receives
a minimal portion of property taxes. Due to
Proposition 13, Fraser said the citys por-
tion of the 1 percent annual property tax is
set at just 7 percent, extremely low in com-
parison to other cities that go as high as 35
percent.
We talked about different ways to do this
and what the council came up with was a
sales tax. If we extend that, the sales tax is
shared with our visitors, Fraser said. We
will have to go out for a loan at some point
[for the library] and having the visitors
help pay for some of this really helps. We
have hundreds of thousands of visitors
come to our coast and theyre using our
resources and our roads.
City spending
Kowalczyk and Fraser said the city used
Measure J funds to repair 17 miles of dam-
aged city streets, spent $100, 000 toward a
new skate park, $100, 000 on Smith Field
and was extremely fortunate to have the
funds to contribute toward fixing the failed
Pilarcitos Creek Bridge.
Gi pe argued t he ci t y has been wast eful
by spendi ng money on desi gn consul t -
ant s for t he Mai n St reet Bri dge before
earni ng t he communi t ys approval ,
spendi ng on an emergency operat i on

Kehoe Avenue di t ch l awsui t .
Beachwood fallout
Measure J was originally proposed in the
midst of the citys Beachwood lawsuit
whereby it had to take a $30 million bond
to settle a court case claiming the city was
responsible for leaving the large property
unable to be developed. Soon after Measure
J was passed, the citys insurance company
contributed $13 million.
Gipe argues the city never needed Measure
J and its unnecessary for the council to ask
for a continuation when it promised it
would only be temporary.
It was very disingenuous to get Measure
J passed whereby promising it would only
be temporary when they had no intention of
keeping it temporary, Gipe said.
Fraser and Kowalczyk said the city is still
paying off its debt from the lawsuit and con-
tinuing the current sales tax rate will allow
it to invest in roads, trails, parks and a
library until it settles its debt.
Adding this for another three years
bridges us to 2019 when those bonds are
paid off and that frees up $1. 2 million (each
year), Fraser said. Thats the big differ-
ence, so we wont need to ask for this
increase anymore.

engaging artists to submit proposals to
enhance the 6-foot-tall plain white fencing
along the northeast lot at 221 S. El Camino
Real.
The workshop was really held to create
some relief on the corners there, two of
them have been vacant for quite a long time,
those are on the east side, Councilman
Jack Matthews said. And to produce some
excitement, some interest, as a gateway to
our downtown.
About 50 people attended the meeting and
discussed preliminary ideas from concepts
to content, Matthews said. Some discussed
the method of painting something that
would appear different from various angles
or distance, such as detailed images up close
making a pixilated image from further away,
Matthews said. Others focused on content
and how to depict a historical narrative of
the city, Matthews said.
The northeast lot, as well as the southeast
lot at 2 E. Third Ave. , have long been
shielded by white fencing while the former
76 gas station on the northwest corner at 2
W. Third Ave. was recently demolished.
To the citys delight, within just three
weeks in September, proposals to redevelop
all three properties were submitted to the
citys Planning Division.
Redevelopment proposals
The approximate 12, 000-square-foot
northeast corner site is proposed to become
a mixed-use three-story building with
11, 000 square feet of retail on the first
floor, 11, 000 square feet of office space on
the second and 10, 000 square feet of office
on the third.
The 8, 600-square-foot southeast lot is
proposed to become another three-story
mixed-used retail and office building with
19, 949 square feet of office space and 3, 950
square feet of retail space on the ground
floor.
The final 11, 460-square-foot northwest
site proposal is for a four-story mixed-use
retail and housing development made up of
11 apartments, 4, 200 square feet of retail
space on the first floor and a 39-car base-
ment garage.
As former gas stations that dispensed haz-
ardous waste materials, each site must have
remediative cleanup or receive clearance
through the Environmental Health Division
of the San Mateo County Health System.
The southeast lot was found to need remedi-
ation measures, which it completed in
2005, Heather Forshey, director of
Environmental Health Services for the
county, said previously. The northeast lost
had a case opened and is currently working
to close it, Forshey said previously. The
northwest lot, where residences have been
proposed, was never issued a case, Forshey
said previously.
Citys interests
During its goal setting session in
February, the City Council identified revi-
talizing this key intersection as a priority
and Mayor Robert Ross considered enacting
an ordinance requiring property owners to
improve vacant lots.
The city has since committed $5, 000 to
help support the upcoming art project on
the northeast lot, said Rebecca Zito, senior
management analyst with the City
Managers Office.
Although the city finally receiving pro-
posals for the sites is a big step forward, it
will likely be at least a year to 18 months
before any of the sites see construction.
Having artwork displayed on at least one of
the vacant lots will help bridge that gap
with something more engaging in the inter-
im, Zito said.
A l ot of peopl e t hi nk about Thi rd and
El Cami no as bei ng a gat eway i nt o t he
downt own, so i f t heres someway t o
beaut i fy t he area unt i l t hese propert i es

opport uni t y and t ake some t i me t o do
t hat and begi n t he process of act ual l y
seei ng i t as a gat eway, Zi t o sai d.
Thus far, a range of ideas has been gener-
ated and, once proposals are turned in by the
Nov. 14 deadline, the community will have
a chance to vote online, Zito said. From the
top three vote earners, community stake-
holders from the city, Economic
Development Growth Enterprise, the
Chamber of Commerce and others may make
the final choice, Zito said.
Unfortunately, only the northeast proper-
ty owner has responded to the citys request
but Zito and Matthews said theyd like to
see others inspired.
One of our hopes is if they see some-
thing interesting and engaging happening
at one property, maybe theyll be more
open to the idea of installing some art on or
around their properties in the interim, Zito
said. Artwork definitely brings more inter-
est, visual interest to a community. Its
something that can be used to engage peo-
ple. It can make a downtown area, neighbor-
hood unique and just creates that edge. Its
more interesting and [encourages] people to
explore.

ners site and art submissions, visit

Minturns Contra Costa Steam Navigation
Company. Railroad ferries were established
by SF&O and the San Francisco and Alameda
Railroad (SF&A) which then became taken
over by the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR)
in 1870 and this became part of the First
Transcontinental Railroad. The previously
established ferry pier at Oakland Point was
greatly enlarged to form the Oakland Long
Wharf. These railroad ferries carried mostly
passengers from Oakland to San Francisco.
When, in 1876, the Transcontinental
Railroad from Sacramento to Oakland was
rerouted, a ferry across the Carquinez Strait
was established and the largest ferryboat,
the Solano, was built. This ferry carried
whole trains. Later, this ferry system
became part of the Southern Pacific (SP)
system. This service was idled when the
Carquinez Strait railway bridge was built in
1930.
In 1903, the Key System transit system
established service from San Francisco to
its pier, the Mole, on the Oakland shore-
line, just south of the eastern approach of
the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
Wealthy Francis Marion Borax Smith,
settled in Oakland and began consolidating
several streetcar lines in Alameda County
with a four-car train and 250 passengers
leaving downtown Berkley to the ferry site
in Alameda. His company eventually
became called the Key System, named after
the shape of the streetcars lines in his terri-
tory. During World War II, Smith ran a line
to Richmond to service the workers in
going to work in the shipyards.
Numerous businesses were attracted to
Alameda when transportation became avail-
able. One of the most popular businesses
was a recreation area at Crab Cove. Starting
in 1917, Neptune Beach, became the rave
for citizens of Oakland and the East Bay. It
cost only a dime to have a day full of swim-
ming, rides, picnics and dancing. When the
Great Depression hit in 1939, it folded like
so many other businesses.
In 1946, National City Lines acquired
major stock in the Key System and institut-
ed a policy of making buses the major
means of transportation in the area. The
National City Lines stockholders were
General Motors, Firestone Tires and
Phillips Petroleum. The same year, E. Jay
Quinby wrote a publication alerting the
public to the attitude of National City Lines
and eventually the group was indicted in the
federal District Court of Southern California
on two counts pertaining to the attempt to
monopolize sales of buses and supplies and
conspiring to acquire control of and monop-
olize the bus lines. They were proven guilty
of the count of monopolizing the sales of
buses, but found not guilty on the other
count. Ridership fell. Due to the declining
ridership, the newly formed, publicly
owned A. C. Transit took over the Key
System facilities.
After 1869, the Oakland Long Wharf
became the western terminus of the Pacific
Railroad, as well as carrying passengers for
the Key System. The Central Pacifics oper-
ations were taken over by the Southern
Pacific in the 1880s and they moved their
train operation a half-mile east. After the
Bay Bridge was completed, the Key System
ran across the bridge to the Transbay
Terminal. In 1958, Southern Pacific ferry
service from the Ferry Building to Oakland
was discontinued, replaced by buses over the
Bay Bridge from Oaklands 16th Street
Station. The Long Wharf then became the
site of the Port of Oakland container ship
facilities.

email list and 48 non-parent voters by the
Internet survey. There are likely 7, 572 vot-
ers likely to cast ballots in June 2015.
Godbe was worried it wouldnt get 400 inter-
views if it only did a telephone survey since
a lot of people dont check their landlines
regularly anymore.
The district now needs to decide if itd like
to bundle the taxes, for what length itd like
to extend the tax and if itd like to increase
the tax. An important piece of data would be
to figure out the level of expected intensity
and passion from community members for
helping to pass a higher tax or for renewing
the tax, Trustee Seth Rosenblatt said. The
Burlingame Elementary School District
rolled its two parcel taxes together and
passed that and now its third one is its
increase, Godbe said.
I would roll them together, Godbe said.
If you dont have the energy to do the
increase, roll them together.
The bundle option seems like a clear
choice, said Trustee Kathleen Farley.
The bundle and increase requires a certain
level of campaigning and we dont have data
on which duration would do better, she said
at the meeting. Maybe we should study it a
little bit. My initial take after this presenta-
tion. My gut is telling me not to jump to
the increase.
It would be best for the district to engage
the community until the end of January,
then make a decision, said Jared Boigon of
TBWB, an advisor to the district on the
Measure A parcel tax. He is recommending
increasing the tax to $98 for a six-year peri-
od. The district wont gain anything by
untangling the two parcels, he noted when
Rosenblatt asked if the district should con-
sider the idea of not combining the two
measures.
If you put a campaign together at a lower
level of intensity, you could still renew
both of the existing ones, Boigon said.
Increasing the tax amount might be wise
since the district is trying to raise an addi-
tional $1 million, said Superintendent
Craig Baker.
We set a goal we would aggressively pur-
sue additional funds, Baker said. Ill put it
out there, if Im going to put energy out to
somewhere, I cant imagine something we
could do that would somehow require less
work.
Meanwhile, board President Adam Rak
noted that if the district isnt going to go
for a higher tax, and is just bundling the
measures, it should probably not do a 12-
year extension.
Additionally, in the surveys question of
if the district is providing a quality educa-
tion, 85 percent of parents said they were
favorable of the quality, while 11 percent
said it was unfavorable and 4 percent were
not sure. Of non-parents, 66 percent were
favorable, 7 percent were unfavorable and
27 percent were not sure.
In terms of the districts ability to effec-
tively manage public funds, 67 percent of
parents were favorable of the districts man-
agement, 23 percent were unfavorable and
10 percent were not sure. For the same ques-
tion, 45 percent of non-parents were favor-
able, 19 percent were unfavorable and 35
percent were not sure.
The district has until Feb. 6, 2015, to
compose a resolution for a May 5, 2015,
mail ballot if it wants to take that route. If
the district selects May 5 as the election
date, ballots would be mailed out April 6,
2015, and voters would have 29 days to sub-
mit their ballots.
At the same meeting, the board unani-
mously approved $17, 500 in incentive
compensation for Baker for the 2013-14
fiscal year as part of the consent agenda.
Teachers expressed concern about the item,
including Shannon Wolf, co-president of
the San Carlos Teachers Association, or
SCTA.
At the Oct. 9 meeting, you called SCTAs
bargaining method antiquated and you had
serious concern about financial viability
raised, she said. If you approve tonights
spending, increase teachers to a competi-
tive salary on the Peninsula.
Another teacher, English teacher Jay
Richards of Central Middle School, noted
the teachers should have the same salary
increase teachers received a 2 percent
increase as management. Management
doesnt have a direct impact on students and
shouldnt get perks, he said. Finding money
for management, but not teachers, causes
strain for the relationship between teachers
and administrators, he said.

Burlingame DUI
patrol nets two arrests

according to police.
Police stopped 19 vehicles during the
patrol, administered two field sobriety tests
and arrested two drivers on suspicion of DUI.

46 people have died and 374 people were
injured as a result of DUI collision, police said.

adjacent to the countys juvenile hall
in San Mateo.
My voice. My hair. My inde-
pendence. My heart. My love for
my siblings. My helpfulness. My
ambition. My passion.
These girls, some as young as 12,
arrived at the juvenile camp through a
combination of trauma, chaos and
poor choices in their outside worlds.
Davalos made them peek inside.
Davalos was the keynote speaker at
Thursday nights teen dating violence
and healthy relationships workshop
coordinated by the multi-agency
Coordinating Response Committee
which grew from the San Mateo
County Domestic Violence Council.
She was more than halfway through
her presentation before she even men-
tioned the word violence. The point,
she said, is for young women to start
by loving themselves and knowing
how they want to be loved. People who
know their worth are less likely to
become victims, to continue cycles
they may have already seen played out
in their lives.
Often the needs of teen victims and
aggressors gets overshadowed by their
adult counterparts, said Rhonda
Collins, probation services manager
with the domestic violence unit and
CRC member.
A juvenile-specific approach, she
said, focuses on reaching them earlier
into or before entering a cycle of vio-
lence and giving them the skills to
thrive. A similar dating violence work-
shop was held for boys at the juvenile
hall earlier this year; the girls camp
event coincided with Domestic
Violence Month.
Davalos pointed out to the girls that
with her poems and writing assign-
ments she hadnt specifically gone
into domestic violence.
But really I did. Because where does
it start? she said.
Before long, earlier hesitations were
replaced by eager volunteering to
share as the teens were asked to
describe love.
You cant even define it. Its like
a feeling with a title. You feel a
vibe. Its like when youre on a
swing or a roller coaster.
Only a few hands shot up when asked
if they have ever felt that way about
themselves.
In many ways, the teens could have
been a group of girls in any school
instead of those working their way
through the juvenile justice system.
They played with their hair and punctu-
ated conversations with giggles. They
love beauty night although for them
nail polish and flat ironing is only
allowed on that weekly occasion when
theyre good, according to camp staff.
An assignment to write a letter to
something they loved, especially
themselves, showed the differences.
One girl reminded herself that she is a
good person with a big heart. But
another apologized to her father for
making him worry shed end up on the
nine oclock news. As she choked up
saying he is now gone behind bars, the
others rubbed her back and box of tis-
sues appeared.
Thats deep, one said.
A reading of another poem also cut
deep.
But when a man loves a woman who
wont love him back/What if his first
instinct is to attack? Davalos asked
one girl why she mentioned that pas-
sage as striking a chord.
Because thats my experience, she
said.
The nights creative self-expression
about personal love and respect was
tempered by Sandy Trujillo who pro-
vided a very real face to domestic vio-
lence. Trujillo, now with a masters
degree and affiliation with nonprofit
StarVista, recalled being a 16-year-old
girl pressured into a relationship by
friends who liked the boys car and
who felt she had no choice but to go
with him when she found herself preg-
nant.
Thats where my nightmare start-
ed, she said.
He locked her in the bedroom when
he went to work. He slapped her in
front of his mother who did nothing
and isolated her from her family.
Nothing she did was right and Trujillo,
who unsuccessfully jumped from a car
while three months pregnant as an
escape, said she saw no end.
Id think Id rather be dead. If thats
what hes going to do, I just want it to
be over, Trujillo.
Instead of dying, though, Trujillo
said she finally fled with the help of
her sister and built her life back with
the help of a caseworker. First an AA
degree. Then a BA. Then a masters
degree and a job.
You are able to do whatever you set
your mind to, she told the group,
many who a camp employee said have
never felt like they ever had choices.
Perhaps they were the ones picking
their parents up off the ground or hear-
ing that school isnt necessary. Maybe
they saw their relatives in abusive
relationships and thought that was
how life works. The concept of just
using common sense to avoid trouble
doesnt apply, said camp employe
Tanganyika Adams.
Trujillo, though, told the teens that,
despite her experience, there is a lot of
good men still out there and she found
one.
You have to be responsible for who
you choose, she said.
Teens also have to be responsible if
they are the aggressor, the speakers
said.
About 15 percent of domestic vio-
lence victims are men, according to
Collins.
No matter what side of the domestic
violence situation youre on, there are
consequences, Deputy Probation
Officer Cherlene Wright said.
Probation Officer Tequila Webb
ticked off standard punishments: 104
hours of counseling at a minimum cost
of $25 to $50 a week, court appear-
ances, jail time, search and seizure
conditions that might prove embar-
rassing when friends and loved ones
find their car or home upended because
of their association.
Webb urged the audience to keep
their hands to themselves and not to do
so much as toss an object in anger.
One of her clients was convicted for
throwing a box of pizza.
Wright, who is the domestic vio-
lence court officer, said just that morn-
ing four convicted offenders had less
than stellar showings at their progress
reviews. Two left in handcuffs, one for
90 days because he snuck into his vic-
tims home and beat her again, she
said.
Teen A. (the Daily Journal is with-
holding her name) said she was moved
by the speakers and the exercises in
finding her own sense of self.
I found it motivational because it
made me realize I still have a voice,
she said. Sometimes I forget who I am
in here.
A. said shes seen abuse in her own
life.
This is a good reminder that its not
OK, she said.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2014
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your intriguing way of
looking at things continues to surprise those around
you. Just when someone thinks they have you gured

sides of the story. Once youve had time to dissect
whats going on, you will be able to make the best
decision.

yourself. Someone may be trying to undermine
your reputation and steal your thunder. Make sure
everyone knows the truth about the contributions
and plans that youve made.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You are sure to do
well today and will stand out at any gathering. Those
around you will be drawn to your unusual, off-the-
wall antics and ideas.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dont let the secrets
weighing on your mind affect your productivity, or you
will end up in a vulnerable position. Take a moment for
some quiet, uninterrupted time to mull things over.

fun. A day trip or an interesting event will put a spring
in your step. Make plans and invite a close friend
along for the ride.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take inventory of what
you own, what you need and what you can part with.
Make donations or offer to help a worthwhile cause. A

Trying to please everyone else is an exercise in futility.
Do the best you can with what you have, and dont get
upset if someone objects.

board if a travel opportunity arises. The information
you gain will have a positive effect on your future. A

There is more going on in your community than you
think. Its time to be a participant and get to know
people who share your interests.

by the responsibilities given to you. There is a limited
amount of time, so plan and organize carefully to
avoid falling short of your goal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Do something totally
different. A trip to the zoo, aquarium, museum or
science center will provide plenty of entertainment. A
family fun day will encourage everyone to get along.

WORLD 31
By Peter Leonard and Yuras Karmanau
KIEV, Ukraine Ukrainians overwhelm-
ingly backed several pro-Western parties in
a landmark parliamentary election Sunday,
another nudge in the former Soviet repub-
lics drift away from Russia.
Two exit polls released as voting closed
indicated that President Petro Poroshenkos
party will secure a narrow win in the parlia-
mentary election, falling substantially
short of an outright majority. Prime
Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuks Popular
Front followed close behind.
Although they lead rival parties,
Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk share pro-
Western sentiments and have campaigned
on reform agendas aimed at pulling Ukraine
back from the brink of economic ruin. The
parties are expected to join forces with
other reform-oriented groups to form a
broad pro-European coalition.
Talking to supporters at his party head-
quarters, a visibly ebullient Poroshenko
said coalition talks will start Monday and
will last no longer than 10 days.
Almost three million people were unable
to vote in eastern regions still gripped with
unrest as government troops continue to
wage almost daily battle against pro-
Russian separatists.
The vote on Sunday will substantially
overhaul a legislature once dominated by
loyalists of ousted former president Viktor
Yanukovych.
We are seeing a triumph of pro-European
forces and a collapse among pro-Russian
parties, said Mikhailo Mischenko, an ana-
lyst with the Razumkov Center think tank.
Ukrainian people see their future in
Europe, and this is something that all
Ukrainians politicians will have to account
for.
The Rating Group Ukraine exit poll said
the Poroshenko Bloc won 22. 2 percent of
the votes and that the Popular Front came in
second with 21. 8 percent. Another exit
poll, organized by three Ukrainian research
groups, saw the Poroshenko Bloc with 23
percent of the vote and Popular Front at
21. 3 percent. A recently formed pro-
European party based in western Ukraine,
Samopomich, was third in the poll with
around 14 percent of the vote.
In an address published on the presidents
website, Poroshenko said the authorities
had received an unprecedented show of sup-
port from the Ukrainian people.
A constitutional majority more than
three-fourths of voter taking part in the
election have powerfully and irre-
versibly supported a European course for
Ukraine, he said. Any delay in reform
will spell a certain death. So I expect the
quick formation of a new coalition.

KAYES, Mali After 2-year-old Fanta
Kones father died in southern Guinea, the
toddlers grandmother took her from the
forested hills where the Ebola outbreak
first began months ago to bring her home
to Mali. It wasnt long, though, before the
little girl started getting nosebleeds.
By the time the pair made their way back
more than 600 miles (1, 000 kilometers) to
the heat-baked town of Kayes several days
later, the toddler had a high fever and was
vomiting blood. Doctors swiftly diag-
nosed Fanta with Ebola, but she soon suc-
cumbed to the virus already blamed for
killing nearly 5, 000 people in the region.
Her grandmother, quarantined with a cou-
ple dozen others, could only watch from a
distance in an isolation tent over the
weekend as health workers in hazmat suits
prepared the tiny corpse for burial.
There has been panic and fear in this
town of 128, 000 since news first spread of
the girls death, which was the countrys
fi rst confi rmed Ebol a case about 10
months after the epidemic began in neigh-
boring Guinea.
We are in a panic - everyone is talking
about Ebola, said Bruno Sodatonou, a 35-
year-old restaurant worker in the town of
128, 000. We dont know how to protect
ourselves. Some are now wearing gloves,
while others are trying to avoid hand-
shakes with people.
Mali - which shares a porous land border
with Guinea - has long been seen as vul-
nerable to Ebola because of the large num-
ber of peopl e movi ng back and fort h
between the two countries. Fantas case
has especially alarmed health authorities
because she is believed to have been in a
contagious state of Ebola as she traveled.
The childs symptomatic state during
the bus journey is especially concerning,
as it presented multiple opportunities for
exposures - including high-risk exposures
- i nvol vi ng many peopl e, t he Worl d
Health Organization said in announcing
the Malian case.
Dr. Koumare Toumani, director-general
of the Kayes hospital, said the little girl
and her grandmother though were quickly
isolated upon arrival. A dozen of Fantas
family members are now being observed
along with 11 health care workers, he said.
Its true in the initial hours after the
announcement of the Ebola case confirma-
tion people were afraid, including health
care workers, he said. But calm has
returned after religious and administrative
offi ci al s carri ed out publ i c awareness
efforts.
Health authorities now though can only
imagine how many people little Fanta may
have come into contact along the way.
Ebola is spread through direct contact with
the bodily fluids of people showing symp-
toms of the disease, such as Fantas bloody
nose or potentially her soiled clothing.
Public transport buses in Guinea and
Mali are often overcrowded, with children
sitting on laps and passengers standing in
the aisles.
Already they are making a list of the
towns that Fanta and her grandmother
passed through: Keweni, Kankan, Sigouri,
Kouremale and the capital of Bamako.
Health officials there are rushing to finish
an i sol at i on faci l i t y t hat can be used
should additional cases emerge.
Cont i nued hi gh-l evel vi gi l ance i s
essent i al , as t he government i s ful l y
aware, WHO said.
