District puts bond on ballot

San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District will ask voters to pass tax for new school buildings
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo-Foster City

Elementary School District Board
of Trustees unanimously approved
putting a bond measure on the
upcoming fall election ballot,
which ofcials claim is necessary
to build additional classrooms.

District voters will be asked to

pass a bond that will tax homeowners $15 per $100, 000 of
assessed home value to generate
about $148 million for construction of new school buildings needed to house a growing student population.
Ofcials targeted using the
potential bond revenue to add

classrooms to campuses throughout the district, which would likely include an effort to purchase
portion of Charter Square
Shopping Center in Foster City to
be the site of construction for a
fourth elementary school, while
the proposal to build a small
neighborhood school for students
living in the North Central com-

TRUMP JOLTS FIRST GOP DEBATE

munity of San Mateo continues to

hang in the balance.
The decision Thursday, Aug. 6,
was the culmination of roughly 18
months worth of extensive outreach by ofcials to collect community input and rally support for
the bond, in the wake of the failure
of Measure P, which voters shot
down in 2013.

Trustees debated for close to four

hours Monday, Aug. 3, regarding
the potential cost of the bond, as
well as whether to move forward
with the North Central neighborhood school, before seemingly
agreeing on the size and scope of
the tax measure.

After emotional pleas and steadfast determination from the local

surfing community, the San Mateo
County Harbor District unexpectedly opted to guarantee the reins to
the legendary Mavericks surf competition to Cartel Management for
the next five years.
Cartel, along with longtime
organizers and Mavericks maven
Jeff Clark, sought guaranteed permits for the invite-only big wave
battle that draws some of the
worlds best surfers and eager
crowds to Pillar Point Harbor in

Half Moon Bay.

At the districts Board of

Wednesday night, a crowd that
included representatives from the

extension instead of postponing a
decision until next year which
staff had originally recommended.
It was a great night I think for

everybody involved. From a commissioning board, to the agencies

Stolen Stradivarius violin

is recovered after 35 years
WASHINGTON Renowned violinist Roman Totenberg left his beloved
Stradivarius in his office while greeting well-wishers after a concert in
1980. When he returned, it was gone.
Its case was later found in the basement of the Longy School of Music in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he
taught. But Totenberg, who died three
years ago at age 101, never saw the
instrument again.
Totenberg thought he knew who
stole the violin, but there was never
enough evidence to pursue a suspect.
The trail went cold until this June,
when his eldest daughter, Nina
Totenberg, got a phone call from an
FBI agent.
The agent said he was looking at the
violin, which was in federal custody.
I really could hardly believe it at
the time, Nina Totenberg, the legal
affairs correspondent for NPR, told the
Associated Press in an interview
Wednesday. I said, I have to call my
sisters. Ill tell them not to get their
hopes up, but he said, You dont have
to do that. This is the violin.
The violin, known as the Ames
Stradivarius, was made in Italy in
1734 by Antonio Stradivari and is one
of roughly 550 Stradivarius instruments known to exist. They can fetch
millions of dollars at auction, including a record $15.9 million in 2011.

Grants support county health programs

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The Sequoia Healthcare Districts Board of

Directors has awarded two grants to the
county totaling about $1.3 million to provide care to the uninsured and medically
indigent who live in the southern part of
San Mateo County.
The Board of Supervisors approved a
memorandum of understanding with
Sequoia, a special tax district, to implement
the Community Care Transitions program at
the San Mateo Medical Center and for the
expansion of the Ron Robinson Senior
Care Center at the Fair Oaks Health Center
in Redwood City.
The grants will support the programs
through 2018.
The first grant totaling $429,000 helps
cover the cost of expanding the senior center at Fair Oaks, which Sequoia helped fund
the building of with a $4.3 million grant. It
opened near the end of 2013.
The Ron Robinson Senior Care Center is

a primary care clinic and geriatric assessment unit where seniors of all income levels
and all levels of independence and health
can receive one-stop medical care tailored
exclusively to meet their needs, according
to the county Health System.
The second grant totaling $917,750 supports the implementation of the San Mateo
Medical Centers Community Care
Transitions program.
The Community Care Transitions program works to improve the quality of
patient care by improving the transition
from an inpatient hospital setting to other
care settings, resulting in improved quality
of care, reduced cost and improved patient
experience, according to the Health System.
The grant will help the Health System

improve the quality of care for older Sequoia

Healthcare District residents it is serving,
such as ensuring an office visit occurs within seven days of hospital discharge, helping to meet its quality and patient experience goals, and adding additional staff to
serve patients being discharged to go home.
It is estimated 18 percent of the San
Mateo Medical Centers patients living
within the boundaries of the health care district will be funded by Sequoia, according to
a staff report by the Health Systems Chief
Louise Rogers and Susan Ehrlich, the chief
executive officer at the medical center.
Expenses at the medical center are covered
by fees for services or third-party payors
whenever possible. The portions of expenses for services provided to the medically
indigent or to those covered by programs
that do not meet the full costs of care are
covered by contributions such as grants
from the Sequoia Healthcare District and the
countys general fund contribution to medical center, according to the report.

Applications for U.S. jobless aid rise to still-low 270,000

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Slightly more Americans

filed for unemployment benefits last week,
but their numbers remain near historic lows
in a sign that the job market is healthy.
The Labor Department said Thursday that
applications for jobless aid rose 3,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 270,000. The four-week
average, a less volatile measure, dropped
6,500 to 268,250. That average has fallen
nearly 10 percent over the past year, close to
levels last seen in 2000.
Initial claims for unemployment insurance have been below 300,000 for 22
straight weeks, the longest such stretch since
1973, said Gus Faucher, senior economist at

PNC Financial Services. Claims are running

at a pace consistent with monthly job growth
of better than 200,000.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Their
steady decline suggests that employers are
confident about the health of the economy
and prospects for continued growth.
On Friday, the government will release its
July employment report. Economists expect
that employers added another 225,000 jobs
last month as the unemployment rate was
unchanged at 5.3 percent, according to data
firm FactSet.
The drop in people seeking unemployment
benefits has corresponded with the solid pace
of hiring.
Employers have added an average of
221,000 jobs a month in the past three

months, driving down the unemployment

rate to a seven-year low of 5.3 percent. The
economy has created 2.9 million jobs over
the past 12 months, gains that helped boost
spending on housing and autos.
The July jobs report will influence when
the Federal Reserve decides to raise interest
rates from near-zero levels. Fed Chair Janet
Yellen has said that it may hike rates later this
year, which would end an economic stimulus
in place since late 2008 that was designed to
boost borrowing, spending and investing in
the economy.
Many economists say that job gains at the
current level should cause the Fed to raise
rates in September, although other economists expect the rate increase to begin in
December.

Some who fled wildfire find their home destroyed

By Janie Har and Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEARLAKE OAKS Several hundred of

the thousands of people driven from their
homes by a massive Northern California
wildfire began to trickle back to their
neighborhoods Thursday, and some saw
what they most feared: nothing.
All of it is gone. Its so surreal, Layna
Rivas said through tears just after she discovered her home in Clearlake Oaks had
burned to the ground. It looked like a bomb
went off everywhere. Its all black.
Rivas had eight chickens when she left
but found only one walking through the rubble.
Forty-three homes were destroyed and
13,000 people were ordered or warned to
evacuate as the blaze chewed through nearly
109 square miles of dry brush.
About 800 evacuees were allowed to
return home Thursday, and the number could
increase in the next 24 hours as firefighting
operations wind down.
We have crews coming in and out of
those tiny roadways, state fire spokeswoman Blanca Mercado said. Its not just
the fire, theres still a lot of things behind
the scenes logistically.
Residents were anxious to check on their
pets and possessions, but many were stuck
camping in cars and trailers, drinking coffee from Styrofoam cups and hoping their
houses had not been reduced to ash.
Cassandra Raffaelli and others were staying in the parking lot at a Moose Lodge, a
fraternal organization that was serving food
to evacuees.
She had been there since Sunday and does-

Bernie Sanders brings

campaign to West Coast
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Vermont Sen. Bernie

Sanders is taking his presidential bid to
the West Coast, with rallies planned in
the coming days in Seattle, Portland
and Los Angeles.
During a conference call Thursday
ahead of his Saturday events in Seattle,
Sanders said that his focus on issues
like the middle class, climate change
and criminal justice reform is resonating with voters, and sets him apart from
Democratic primary front-runner
Hillary Clinton.
I think there is growing unhappiness with establishment politics, with
politics that just nibbles around the
edges of issues rather than having
courage to tell it like it is, Sanders
said.
In addition to advocating a $15-anhour minimum wage and raising taxes
on the rich, he also supports a massive
government-led jobs program to fix

roads and bridges, a

single-payer health
care system, an
expansion of Social
Security benefits and
debt-free college.

Portland Trail Blazers. The event had
originally been scheduled at Veterans
Memorial Coliseum, which can handle

Health Officials: Child camping
in Yosemite contracts plague
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
California officials say a child camping in Yosemite National Park fell ill
with plague and was sent to a hospital.
The states Department of Public
Health said Thursday that the family
from Los Angeles County camped at
Yosemites Crane Flat Campground in
mid-July and visited other places in
the Stanislaus National Forest. No
other family members became sick,
and the child is recovering.
Plague is carried by rodents such as
squirrels and spread when fleas carry
the disease from a dead rodent to other
animals or people.
Officials say it is not transmitted
between humans, except in the rare
cases. Plague can be fatal if left
untreated.
Symptoms include fever, chills, nausea and swollen lymph nodes.
Since 1970, 42 people in California
have contracted plague resulting in
nine deaths.

Amid the destruction, crews were gaining
ground, getting the blaze close to halfway
contained after more than a week fighting
its erratic behavior. Its the largest of 23
fires statewide and has the attention of nearly a third of the 10,000 firefighters dispatched to blazes in drought-stricken
California.
Wildfires throughout the West have fed off
dry conditions in Washington state,
Montana, Arizona and elsewhere.
California Gov. Jerry Brown visited fire
crews and said the state is hotter and drier
than its ever been, making blazes more
severe and extending fire season.
This is the beginning of the fire season,
and its acting like its the end, Brown
said.
Thomas Tompkins, of Spring Valley,
which so far hasnt been affected by the fire,
has been living in an RV with his wife,
Beth, since Saturday. They packed their
belongings, grabbed their two dogs and two
cats, and got out quickly.
Hopefully today theyll let us back in,
he said. This is nice, but after a while, I
have to go back to work.
At the Moose Lodge, there was a sense of
safety. The club has been feeding breakfast,
lunch and dinner to about 80 people and was
stocked with water, snacks and bedding.
The overwhelming response from the
community would bring a tear to your eye,
said Joe Welz, a retiree from Spring Valley
who evacuated. This is humanity at its
best.

McConnell to Obama:
Stop demonizing
Iran deal opponents
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama is treating his
drive to win congressional
approval for his nuclear deal with
Iran like a political campaign,
making attacks on opponents
that need to stop, Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell said Thursday.
McConnells comments came
as the Senate left town for a summer recess that both sides in the
dispute plan to use to try lining
up support for showdown votes
next month. The remarks also
followed a tumultuous early
debate over the nuclear agreement in which Republican opponents of the agreement have used
strong language to criticize
Obama.
Obama so far is treating this
like a political campaign,
McConnell,
R-Ky. ,
told
reporters. Demonize your opponents, gin up the base, get
Democrats all angry and, you
know, rally around the president.
To me, its a different kind of
issue.
The majority leader has said he
wants senators to spend next
months debate over the Iran deal
planted in their seats an
unusual step underscoring the
issues gravity.

McConnell also said that:

Congress will pass no major
immigration overhaul through
next year, which he blamed on
anger over Obamas efforts to
unilaterally ease restrictions;
He will not allow fights this
fall over spending and cutting
federal money for Planned
Parenthood to lead to a govern-

ment shutdown;
Pope Francis first-ever
papal address to Congress on
Sept. 24 has sparked the most
requests for invitations hes
aware of for any speech to
Congress.
Lawmakers are required to vote
on whether to accept the Iran
agreement
by
Sept.
17.
Opposition is overwhelming
from Republicans arguing that
the U.S. gave away too much in
negotiations and from many
Democrats sympathetic to Israel,
which considers the pact a disaster.
Its nearly certain that the
GOP-controlled Congress will
reject the deal, and that Obama
will veto that bill. That means
the suspense is over whether
Obama can corral enough
Democratic support to sustain
his veto and keep the agreement
alive.
Its those hard-liners chanting
Death to America who have
been most opposed to the deal,
Obama said of Tehran demonstrators in a speech Wednesday
defending the multi-nation agreement. Theyre making common
cause with the Republican caucus.
McConnell pointedly objected
to those remarks, saying, The
president ought to treat this like
a serious national security debate
rather than a political campaign
and tone down the rhetoric and
talk about the facts.
Yet in recent weeks, some
Republicans have pulled no
punches to criticize Obama over
the agreement, which would lift
sanctions on Iran in exchange
for Tehran mothballing its ambitions to build a nuclear weapon
for at least a decade.

REUTERS

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, center, speaks during a news conference accompanied by, from
left, Sen. Roger Wicker, Sen. John Thune, Sen. John Barrasso and Sen. John Cornyn.
Presidential hopeful Sen. Ted
Cruz, R-Texas, said the pact
would make the Obama administration the worlds leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism because lifting the sanctions would restore money to
Iran that it could use to support
terrorist groups it sponsors.
Another GOP presidential contender, former Arkansas Gov.
Mike Huckabee, said Obama is
marching Jews to the door of the
oven a reference to both the
Holocaust and Israels strong
opposition to the agreement.
On Wednesday, Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz., said of Obama,
Hes carrying on in the finest
traditions
of
Neville
Chamberlain, the British prime
minister best known for unsuccessfully trying to appease
Germanys Adolf Hitler before
World War II.
As the White House continued

trying to win votes for the deal,

three more House Democrats
announced support for the agreement: Reps. Gerry Connolly of
Virginia, Joe Courtney of
Connecticut and Donald Payne Jr.
of New Jersey.
So
did
two
additional
Democratic senators: Jeanne
Shaheen of New Hampshire and
Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
Sen.
Chuck
Schumer,
Gillibrands New York colleague
and
likely
future
Senate
Democratic leader, has yet to
declare his position.
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said
hed discussed the deal with
Obama at the White House
Wednesday night. Cardin, who
has not said whether he will support the agreement, said he is
considering whether it will put
us on a path to make it less likely or more likely that Iran
becomes a nuclear weapons

state.
When Congress returns after
Labor Day, lawmakers will face a
fall packed with do-or-die deadlines, including a September
abbreviated by the Jewish holidays to just 10 days when both
chambers are simultaneously in
session.
Federal agencies budgets
expire Oct. 1, so Congress will
likely pass legislation keeping
the doors open for several weeks
while leaders negotiate an overall spending package.
Failure to do that would mean a
federal shutdown, which GOP
leaders want to avoid because the
public faulted them the last time
it happened. Two years ago, government offices closed for 16
days after conservatives insisted
on using the deadline to try forcing Obama to roll back his health
care law a confrontation
Republicans lost.

A look at GOP candidates statements

Trump refuses to
rule out third-party
run in GOP debate
By Julie Pace and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND A combative Donald

Trump, the billionaire businessman-turnedpresidential candidate, jolted the first
Republican debate of the 2016 campaign by
warning he might run as an independent if
denied the GOP nomination. His startling
declaration left his onstage rivals scrambling to compete for attention the rest of
the night.
Asked in the debates opening minutes
whether he could rule out a third-party run,
Trump declared Thursday night, I will not
make the pledge at this time. He also
refused to apologize for making crude comments about women, defended his changing
policy positions and repeatedly tangled
with the debate moderators.
While Trump was characteristically bombastic, most of the contenders standing
alongside him clamored for their piece of
the spotlight without engaging him directly. They quarreled over immigration, terrorism and gay marriage, each casting himself
as the strongest to take on Democratic
front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The closest former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush,
a favorite of the partys moderate, establishment wing, came to tangling with
Trump was a gentle critique of the businessmans over-the-top rhetoric.
Mr. Trumps language is divisive, Bush
said. Were not going to win by doing
what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do
every day dividing the country.
On immigration, one of the main topics

of the night, Bush defended his call for a

path to legal status for some of the people
living in the U.S. illegally, an unpopular
position among some Republican voters
who equate legal status with amnesty.
The great majority of people coming
here have no other option, Bush said.
Trump in particular has pushed the issue
of immigration throughout the summer,
drawing criticism for saying Mexican
immigrants are rapists. He said Thursday
that he had been told that by border patrol
agents, and he took credit for immigration
being an issue in the campaign.
If it werent for me, you wouldnt even be
talking about illegal immigration, he said,
despite the fact that immigration has been a
hot-button issue in presidential campaigns
for years.
Trumps blunt style was in line with the
approach hes taken to his campaign
throughout the summer, appealing to voters
frustrated with career politicians and perplexing his rivals. He entered the first
debate leading the polls in a field filled with
governors and senators.
Seventeen Republicans are seeking the
partys nomination, but only 10 were invited by debate host Fox News to participate in
the main event based on their showing in
recent polls. The remaining seven were relegated to a pre-debate forum.
On stage in his home state, Ohio Gov.
John Kasich sought to raise his profile by
striking an optimistic tone on the economy, saying all Americans need an opportunity to share in this great American
dream.

Will Be At Our Store Thursday & Friday Aug. 20 & 21

"2 Days Only" Thursday 12-5PM & Friday 10-5PM

DONALD TRUMP: If it werent for me, you wouldnt

even be talking about illegal immigration.
THE FACTS: Republicans have been talking about
immigration for at least 30 years, including former
President George W. Bush and the Republican field
in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. In 2013,
an immigration overhaul seeking to address illegal
immigration passed the Senate with strong
Republican support, although the House never took
it up. And Republican debate about immigration
has only intensified in the wake of President Barack
Obamas sweeping executive action shielding from
deportation millions of immigrants in the U.S.
illegally.
JEB BUSH, on his goal of 4 percent economic
growth:We can do this.
THE FACTS: Most economists say the U.S. under any
president is unlikely to grow consistently at even
close to 4 percent, largely due to the difficulty of
overcoming decades-long trends.
Current forecasts put growth averaging half the rate
of Bushs goal. To grow the economy faster, the
country must either add more workers or increase
their efficiency so their time on the job generates
more income. The retirement of the baby boom
generation will shrink the number of workers in the
economy, making a huge increase of new employees
unlikely.
Only four of the 16 presidential terms since World
War II have experienced annual economic growth
averaging more than 4 percent after inflation,
according to research published last year by
Princeton University economists Alan Blinder and
Mark Watson.
TRUMP:I built a net worth of more than $10 billion.
THE FACTS: Trumps precise net worth has long been
a moving target.
Federal documents filed with the Federal Election
Commission calculated his wealth at $8.7 billion. But
the form requires disclosures of value ranges rather
than precise sums. The government also doesnt
specify how to value real estate, leaving Trump free
to assess many of his proprieties in the highest
bracket over $50 million.
Trump argues that many of his properties are worth
even more, a claim that cannot be verified without
access to his private documents.Hes put his personal
brand and marketing deals at $3.3 billion. Other
assessments put his wealth at far less. Forbes
Magazine, for example, valued his brand at just $125
million. Last month, Bloomberg News estimated his
total worth at $2.9 billion.
JEB BUSH: You get rid of Obamacare and replace
it with something that doesnt suppress wages and
kill jobs.
THE FACTS: According to the Labor Department,
the unemployment rate was 9.9 percent in March

2010, when Obama signed the Affordable Care Act.

In June of this year, it had fallen to 5.3 percent. The
economy has added more than 12 million jobs since
March 2010.
While the health care law doesnt seem to have had
a major impact on jobs, some lesser consequences
are likely.The Congressional Budget Office projected
that the availability of government subsidized health
insurance will prompt some people to drop out of
the labor market, since they can get coverage
without holding down a job.
On replacing Obamacare, Republicans may be able
to repeal Obamas law, but its unclear if and how
they would replace it. The party has yet to rally
behind a plan of its own, partly because of internal
ideological differences. Some Republicans say it
would be the job of the 2016 presidential nominee
to forge a consensus.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: We brought the budget into
balance with no tax increases.
THE FACTS: Not exactly.
As New Jerseys governor, Christie in his first term
cut the earned income tax credit, which largely
benefits low-income workers, from 25 percent of
the federal credit to 20 percent. He surprised
Democrats this summer by proposing to bring it up
to 30 percent. Democrats quickly approved the
change.
Christie also repeatedly delayed implementing the
Homestead credit program, which grants property
tax relief, angering elderly and low-income
homeowners, even as he capped property tax
increases overall. He also extended the sales tax on
online purchases to out-of-state retailers and pushed
for higher taxes on e-cigarettes, but failed.
To be sure, Christie has vetoed a number of proposed
tax increases, but his record is not free of raising taxes
or their close cousin, fees.
JEB BUSH: During my eight years in office, 1.3
million jobs were created, and we left the state better
off.
FACT CHECK: Yes, but by December 2009, 900,000
of those 1.3 million jobs had been eliminated.
During Bushs tenure as Floridas governor, the state
benefited from a huge housing bubble that then
burst just as he left the governors mansion. Florida
was one of severalsun and sandstates where home
prices soared during last decades housing mania
even more than they did nationwide. Home prices
jumped 160 percent in Florida from 1999 through
2006, more than double the national increase of 74
percent, according to real estate data provider Zillow.
That growth fueled a 50 percent jump in
construction jobs, and the boost to home values
made many Floridians feel wealthier, leading them
to spend more. Home prices started to fall in 2006,
Bushs last year in the governors mansion.

Police say suspect in custody

in Louisiana officers death S
By Janet McConnaughey and Bill Fuller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A man accused of killing a Shreveport

police officer was arrested Thursday after a
round-the-clock manhunt, police said.
Grover Cannon, 27, was in a backyard
detached garage not far from the house where
Officer Thomas LaValley was killed
Wednesday when officers acting on a tip
arrested him shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday,
Shreveport police spokesman Cpl. Marcus
Hines said.
He was sitting in the back of the garage,
just hanging out. ... He may have been consuming a hard beverage. Im not sure what it
was, Hines said.
He said Cannon was taken into custody
without incident.
The capture was the result of efforts by the
FBI, the Shreveport Police Department, the
U.S. Marshals Service, Caddo Parish
Sheriffs Office and Louisiana State Police.
The FBI offered a reward of up to $25,000 for
information leading to Cannons arrest.
LaValley, 29, was shot multiple times
about 9 p.m. Wednesday while answering a
call about a suspicious person at a home in
the citys Queensborough neighborhood.
Shreveport Police Chief Willie Shaw said
neighbors told the officer that the man
inside the home was wanted. The officer didnt know the man was armed, and he went
inside and was shot, Shaw said.
Police already had a warrant for Cannons

arrest on a charge of attempted second-degree

murder in the shooting of Darren Williams
on July 15. Long story short, he gets into
an argument with one guy, pumps him full of
led and runs off, Hines said.
A four-year member of the force, LaValley
began working as a lawman after more than
three years as a television news photographer. Shaw described LaValley as the top
graduate in his police academy class and a
hero who will never be forgotten.
He was doing what he loved, Shaw said.
He did not hesitate to confront a bad person.
Casey Habich said he and other friends
were sure LaValley went into the house
thinking he was going to help someone.
Thats what he went to do, Habich said.
He described LaValley as just a good old
south Louisiana boy who wants to drink and
watch the Saints play on Sunday and lose his
shoes and a man who would help anyone,
any time.
LaValley was originally from St. Amant,
southeast of Baton Rouge, and joined a television station after graduating from
Northwestern State University with a major
in biology and a minor in journalism,
Habich said.
Habich, who was a news photographer for
the station when LaValley was hired, said he
thought working the night crime beat, running with first responders every night,
made LaValley decide he wanted to become a
police officer.

Tobacco legislation
Other voices

The San Diego Union Tribune

ix tobacco-related bills were

shifted last month from the
Legislatures regular session
to the special session on health care
called by Gov. Jerry Brown, scheduled
to begin Aug. 17. The shift was less a
reection of the bills import than a
tactical maneuver needed to keep a
couple of them alive. Only one of
them can be considered a major policy
change. Still, all six merit ultimate
approval.
Of the six bills, SB 7 X2, is easily
the most signicant. It would increase
the minimum legal age to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products from
18 to 21. This is key because an estimated 90 percent of tobacco addicts
start smoking before the age of 21.
The hope is that raising the minimum
age will prevent some young people
from starting to smoke at all.
The other bills seek to put electronic cigarettes under the same statewide
regulation as regular tobacco products; close loopholes in smoke-free
workplace laws; require all public

schools to be tobacco-free; allow

local governments to tax tobacco,
subject to two-thirds voter approval;
and establish a new tobacco licensing
fee program under the state Board of
Equalization.
Other than the minimum-age bill,
the proposals hardly represent the
historic opportunity to save lives
that legislative leaders declared them
to be in a joint news release. Many
cities, for example, including San
Diego, already treat e-cigarettes the
same as regular tobacco products. And
are there really any public schools
now that are not tobacco-free?
So why the special session?
Because two of the bills, the e-cigarette regulation bill and the increase
in the minimum age for tobacco, were
either gutted or about to be killed in
the Assembly Governmental
Organization Committee.
According to the California
Healthline, a daily digest published
by the California Healthcare
Foundation, the e-cigarette bill was

so heavily amended by the committee

on July 8 that its author, state Sen.
Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, disassociated himself from the amended legislation. The same day, Hernandez
pulled the minimum-age bill from the
committee docket when it became
clear the panel would kill it.
A week later, Senate and Assembly
leaders announced that Lenos original e-cigarette bill, the minimum-age
bill and the four others would be taken
up during the special session. On the
verge of death, they magically sprang
back to life.
The process was hardly pretty. But
in the end, ugly process is trumped by
the benet, however limited, they
could produce.
As is often said because its true
tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the
United States. It kills more than
480,000 Americans every year, puts
many others into a down spiral of disease, and raises the public costs of
health care.
If these bills can help reduce the
problem, and they can, they deserve
passage.

SPI should reopen the ice rink
Editor,
We miss skating at the ice rink in
the Bridgepointe Shopping Center
in San Mateo.SPI Holdings, LLC
bought the shopping center, knowing that it was required to keep an
ice rink or similar recreation facility.Now SPI is seeking permission
from the city of San Mateo to tear
down the rink and build stores
instead.Why did SPI close the rink
before they had permission to
change the use?Why would they prefer an empty building to a viable
business while waiting for
approval?What about the possibility that the city would not approve
the change? The only conclusion is
that SPI figured that keeping the
rink closed would reduce opposition
to the change and make it harder to
reopen in the future.SPI should
show good faith by reopening the
ice rink while they wait for permission to change the use.

Letter writer Robert Lingaas wants

to know when those on food stamps
are going tostop taking advantage
of him and other working people
(in the Aug. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal). Probably never, since the
program is intended to assist those
who need help, something Bob, not
a sharp dresser by his own admission, has a problem with. It seems a
mystery to him that a person who
qualifies for food stamps, which by
the way, many in the military do,
would also get a break on a grocery
bag that he has to pay a quarter for,
the poor guy. A headline in this
paper this week made the point that
though the economy is not only
recovering, it is doing very well,
wages are not. In fact, the article
that goes with that headline points
out wages havent improved in a
decade. If Bob needs something to
whine about, that would probably be
better.

business as usual, a never ending

money grab and no restraint in
spending.Let me offer some advice
for the readers.
There are four ways in which you
can spend money. You can spend
your own money on yourself. When
you do that, why then you really
watch out what youre doing and you
try to get the most for your money.
Then you can spend your own money
on somebody else. For example, I
buy a birthday present for someone.
Well, then Im not so careful about
the content of the present, but Im
very careful about the cost. Then, I
can spend somebody elses money
on myself. And if I spend somebody
elses money on myself, then Im
sure going to have a good lunch!
Finally, I can spend somebody elses
money on somebody else. And if I
spend somebody elses money on
somebody else, Im not concerned
about how much it is, and Im not
concerned about what I get. And
thats government.
My business is in San Mateo, the
city with the highest sales tax rate,
but not for long.

Leveraging public money

for public/private benefit

n the quest to help those facing the ever-rising

rents in this county, government officials are
treading carefully between intervention and assistance. The idea of rent control has issues with overall
effectiveness and property owners who are less than
keen on the idea. Additionally, it would be a fairly big
step that would be extremely difficult to untake.
City officials facing calls for it have either said their
hands are tied, like in Burlingame that has a voterapproved ordinance prohibiting it, or are waiting for
results of a county investigation into solutions.
In the meantime, rents continue to go up and more
and more apartment dwellers are seeing their cost of
living rise dramatically as owners either decide to bring
them up to market rate (now higher) or rehabilitate
aging buildings to modernize
them so they can capture
higher rents closer to market
rate.
In Redwood City, city officials passed a unique law that
would solve two problems.
One, recent apartment building fires have literally
destroyed units that are needed for the citys affordable
housing supply. Two fires in
2013 at complexes on
Woodside Road led to the loss
of 147 residential units.
Neither building had fire
sprinklers. This month, the
council passed a law that requires properties with four
or more units built before 1989 to install sprinklers
which have the potential to save lives, property and
valuable living units. Property owners who volunteer
to install the sprinklers can get a loan from the city
which may be forgiven if they agree not to raise rents
more than 5 percent a year for at least five years.
Installing sprinklers not only helps save lives and
property, but also can help protect the property
owners investment. Put simply, this is a win-win.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors also
made a move this week to funnel Measure A half-cent
sales tax money into a housing program that would provide forgivable rehabilitation loans for smaller multifamily buildings in exchange for a period of rent control on improved units. A mere $300, 000 was allocated
for this program, but its a start. Rents tend to go up
when property owners invest new money into a building to improve it. There are many aging buildings
throughout the Peninsula that are ripe for this type of
activity and having forgivable loans for those
improvements while ensuring rents stay lower is a real
opportunity to not only increase property value but
also keep tenants in place at more affordable levels of
rent. It creates an incentive for the property owner in
that improvements can be made without having to take
out a bank loan that has to be paid back. It improves
neighborhoods, creates a safer living environment for
tenants and keeps working class people in the communities in which they currently live.
While $300, 000 is a small amount, more can be
done. The county had estimated that Measure A would
bring in $60 million a year but new estimates have that
amount closer to $80 million. The Board of Supervisors
has spent a significant amount of time exploring how
best to spend that money, including funding for street
improvements, parks and even health care. However,
there is not a more pressing matter here for those in the
working class who do not own their own homes than
rising rents. Taking more money from that sales tax
revenue to leverage it for building improvements while
maintaining lower rents is a sure-fire way to keep community stability, improve buildings and keep more
people safe.
When redevelopment agencies were in effect, one of
its more effective yet relatively silent benefits were
housing rehab loan programs. Those programs would
enable home owners to make improvements and stay in
place while paying back the money when the home was
sold. The original loan would then go back into the
program for someone else to use.
Doing more of this type of creative leverage of public
money for both public and private benefit will help
assuage the calls for rent control and its equal cousin
rent stabilization, and all the controversy and murkiness of their efficacy.

Media companies lead broad decline in stocks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Media stocks slammed as pay

TV bundle starts unravelling
By Ryan Nakashima
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Signs that pay TVs pricy

bundles of channels are starting to unravel
finally took a toll on major media companies.
Media stocks were hammered for a second
day Thursday as Viacoms underwhelming
earnings gave investors another reason to
sell, after industry bellwether Disney earlier
in the week trimmed a profit outlook due to
more people cutting the cord on pay-TV packages.
While there have long been signs consumers love online video distributors like
Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, its the first time
that signs of trouble for the traditional cable
and satellite TV business have sent such a
powerful shudder through the stock market.
Disneys stock dropped 11 percent since
Tuesday, when it reported that it was trimming
its forecast for TV subscriber-fee profit
growth through next year because of subscriber losses at its flagship ESPN sports network.
Over two days, Viacom fell 21 percent,
Time Warner dropped 10 percent, Discovery
Communications slumped 9 percent, TwentyFirst Century Fox fell 13 percent and Comcast
fell 6 percent. CBS was down just 1 percent
after mostly recovering from a slump on
Wednesday.
Questions around the death of pay TV are

Oreo-maker latest Big Food

company targeted for shakeup

now front and center even if the size and pace

of declines are likely being overstated by
press and Street commentary, wrote analyst
Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson
Research.
Dish said Wednesday its satellite TV subscriber losses accelerated in the quarter
through June, falling 81,000 to 13.9 million, nearly double the loss of 44,000 a year
ago. Viacom Inc., which owns Comedy
Central and Nickelodeon, reported Thursday
that its profit fell in the most recent quarter.
While that is largely due to a lack of big films
this year, there have been questions about
how it will handle a shift in how people consume media. Its shares have fallen 41 percent
this year.
There is no question that our industry is in
the midst of significant change, Viacom
CEO Philippe Dauman told investors
Thursday.
Analysts say that popular channels like
ESPN would likely survive any dramatic shift
in consumer preference toward online channel
packages like Sling TV, which at $20 a
month, is far cheaper than traditional pay TV
packages.
The question, wrote analyst Martin
Pyykkonen of Rosenblatt Securities, is
whether the revenue substitution from skinnier bundles and/or a la carte channel plans
will at least approximate the traditional cable
bundle revenue over time.

NEW YORK The maker of Oreo cookies

may again be the target for a shake-up as
Big Food companies scramble to transform amid changing tastes.
Activist investor Bill Ackmans
Pershing Square said it took a 7.5 percent
stake in snack maker Mondelez
International Inc. that was worth about
$5. 5 billion. The disclosure comes as
Mondelez, which also makes Ritz crackers,
Cadbury chocolates and Trident gum, had
already been slashing costs to offset weak
growth.
Such cost-cutting has become common
for major packaged food companies, which
are up against volatile economic conditions overseas and shifting tastes that
favor foods marketed as fresher or more natural. To appease investors, companies
including Campbell Soup, Coca-Cola,
General Mills, Kellogg and PepsiCo have
said they would trim costs and free up more
money for marketing, which is intended to
drive up sales of their flagship brands.
The struggles have also led a flurry of corporate restructuring and deal-making that is
reshaping the industry.

Nvidia rises

SANTA CLARA Shares of chipmaker
Nvidia jumped in aftermarket trading
Thursday as its second-quarter results were
stronger than Wall Street expected.
The maker of graphics chips and processors for phones and tablets said its profit

fell to $26 million, or 5 cents per share,

from $128 million, or 22 cents a share, a
year earlier. But excluding charges related
to the ending of its Icera modem business
and other special items, the company said it
earned 34 cents per share. Its revenue rose 5
percent to $1.15 billion.
Analysts expected net income of 11 cents
per share on $1.01 billion in revenue,
according to Zacks Investment Research.
The companys fiscal second quarter ended
on July 26.
Nvidia Corp. shares added $1.95, or 9.5
percent, to $22.40 in aftermarket trading.
Nvidia shares have risen 2 percent in
2015 and closed at $20.45 on Thursday.

Zynga reports 2Q loss

SAN FRANCISCO Zynga Inc. on
Thursday reported a loss of $26.9 million
in its second quarter.
On a per-share basis, the San Franciscobased company said it had a loss of 3 cents.
Losses, adjusted for one-time gains and
costs, came to 1 cent per share.
The results topped Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of eight analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for a loss of 2 cents per share.
The maker of FarmVille and other
online games posted revenue of $174.5
million in the period, which also beat
Street forecasts. Six analysts surveyed by
Zacks expected $157.2 million.
In the final minutes of trading on
Thursday, the companys shares hit $2.45.
A year ago, they were trading at $2.79.

Investors are looking ahead to the
Labor Departments monthly jobs
report on Friday. Economists forecast
the government report will show
employers added 225,000 jobs and
the unemployment rate held at 5.3

year its going to be a disappointment, Eschweiler said. It would be a

NEW YORK Big media companies led the stock market lower
Thursday as investors fretted over fading revenue from cable television.
Viacom and 21st Century Fox were
among the hardest hit.
Major indexes headed higher in the
first few minutes of trading before
pulling a quick U-turn. The selling
gained momentum until the afternoon, when the indexes recovered
some of their losses.
Walt Disney and other media giants
sank following signs that more people are cancelling their cable TV.
Viacom, the company behind Comedy
Central and Nickelodeon, reported
Thursday that its sales and profit fell
in the most recent quarter. 21st
Century Fox, which owns MTV, also
reported a drop in television revenue.
Viacoms stock plunged 14 percent,
and 21st Century Fox lost 6 percent.
You dont usually see media names
move like this, said Rob Eschweiler,
a global investment specialist at J.P.
Morgan Private Bank in Houston.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell 16.28 points, or 0.8 percent, to
2,083.56, and the Nasdaq composite
lost 83. 50, or 1. 6 percent, to
5,056.44. The Dow Jones industrial
average lost 120.72, or 0.7 percent,

to 17,419.75, the sixth day in a row

the Dow has finished with a loss.
Over the past month, the market
has been in the habit of making gains
one week and losing them all the
next. Weve been moving nowhere
fast, said Terry Sandven, senior equity strategist at U. S. Bank Wealth
Management in Minneapolis. The
market just lacks any direction.
Sandven said he thinks things will
change once investors get a clear picture of how quickly the Federal
Reserve will raise interest rates for
the first time in more than nine years.
Hes hoping the Fed will make its first
move in September.
It will mean that the Fed thinks the
economy is strong enough to handle
something other than crisis-level
rates, Sandven said.
Among other companies in the
news, Keurig Green Mountain plummeted 30 percent, the biggest drop in
the S&P 500, after reporting falling
sales of its packaged coffee and brewing products. The company said it
plans to lay off 5 percent of its workforce in a bid to cut costs. Its stock
dropped $22.31 to $52.67.
With the bulk of big companies
already handing in results, analysts
project that second-quarter earnings
at big U.S. companies edged up 0.2
percent, according to S&P Capital IQ.

Co-coaches to lead Mercy volleyball

Chris Balestrieri and Nicole Rathman are longtime volleyball fixtures on the Peninsula
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When Charlie Dougherty took over as

Mercy-Burlingames athletic director in
early July, one of his first major tasks was
hiring a new volleyball coach.
What he ended up doing was hiring two
Chris Balestrieri and Nicole Rathman, a
pair of longtime Peninsula volleyball
coaches. Both coached at the club level with
the Peninsula Juniors for several years.
Balestrieri coached Serra varsity for three

years, from 2006 to 2008. He later served as

assistant for both the boys and girls programs at Sacred Heart Prep through the 2013
season. He has also worked as an official on
the Peninsula for eight years, ending in
2014.
This will be Rathmans first high school
head coaching job, but she served as an
assistant for the Sacred Heart Prep girls program from 2008 to 2014, during which time
the Gators won four Central Coast Section
title in five years and advanced to the state
championship game twice.

They want to grow a program, which is

what excited me so much someone to
grow the program with me, Dougherty said.
Whats exciting for us is, were moving up
into the higher division (the Foothill
Division of the West Bay Athletic League).
Theyre taking this as their own personal
challenge to make sure [the Crusaders] are
competitive in that division.
Both Balestrieri and Rathman are volleyball lifers, having both played and coached
the sport. Balestrieri, a 2002 graduate of St.
Ignatius, essentially began his coaching

Richardson returns to field

career during his senior season with the

Wildcats.
I got hurt and became a de facto coach,
said the 31-year-old Balestrieri.
At 21, he took over the Serra junior varsity squad before assuming the varsity coaching duties the following year.
Balestrieri said his time as a game official
actually helped him become a better coach.
I understood the officials perspective of
things, Balestrieri said. Ive been coaching since I was 18 years old. Ive come a

NAPA Trent Richardson looked at his

opportunity in Oakland as a fresh start after
the once-heralded running back prospect
struggled for two years in Indianapolis.
So missing the first week of training
camp because of a bout with pneumonia
wasnt exactly the best way to impress his
new team.
Richardson practiced with the Raiders for
the first time this summer after being taken
off the non-football illness list Thursday.
The coaching staff threw him right into the
mix, giving him second-team snaps in a
padded practice that featured Richardson
delivering a few hard hits of his own to
defenders.
It feels good, Richardson said. Its
probably been the most eager Ive been to
go to practice for a long time. Its been a
long time coming for me. I havent been out
there practicing.
Richardson said he first started feeling
sick a few weeks ago and then was diagnosed with pneumonia shortly before arriving in Napa for training camp. The coaches
and training staff told him to recover fully
before returning to the practice field.
Richardson was able to run on the side the
past few days and get plenty of time in his
playbook while waiting to recover.
I just wanted to be out there with my
guys, he said. Everybody is and were
growing together. I felt like I was missing
time on that. I was going hard in the classroom. I was going hard sitting here on the
iPad. Thats one thing I was doing. ... I
came out here today and didnt have any
missed assignments. I felt good.
Richardson entered the NFL as one of the
most promising running backs in years
after a successful college career at Alabama.
Richardson is one of three backs since 1996
to go in the top three picks in the draft,
joining No. 2 overall picks Reggie Bush in
2006 and Ronnie Brown in 2005.
But after a somewhat promising rookie
year in Cleveland when he rushed for 950

OAKLAND Jason Thompson stepped off

the elevator with his parents to a grand Golden
State welcome, featuring some 50 cheering
Warriors employees who are ready to watch him
contribute to the defending NBA champions.
Wow, thats all I got to say, wow, his mother, Sharyn, said to him.
After a crazy July that briefly took him to
Philadelphia and his hometown 76ers after a
trade from the Kings and then back to Northern
California in yet another
swap, Thompson is eager to
stay put and get settled with
his new team only about
90 minutes down the freeway from where he spent
his first seven seasons with
Sacramento.
Now, he will chase the
first playoff berth of his
career with a team deterJason
mined to do it again. And
Thompson
hell be sporting the No. 1
Warriors jersey last worn by swingman Stephen
Jackson.
Theres stability here, too, something
Thompson never had in the state capital.
I want to be smiling and winning,
Thompson said, sporting that signature grin.
Im probably going to be smiling more and not
having to worry about those types of things.
The 6-foot-11 Thompson first was traded July
9 to the Sixers, then again July 31 after Golden
State sent Gerald Wallace to Philly shortly after
acquiring him from Boston to complete the
David Lee deal.
Its definitely a bittersweet situation. I was
traded to a team, growing up in Philly and I didnt play a game, then coming to an organization
coming off a title, I havent been around much
winning this past seven years, said
Thompson, sitting in the Warriors downtown
practice facility Thursday. A lot of instability
with seven coaches in seven years, 180 teammates and things like that. That doesnt ever
lead to winning. To come to an organization

Shaky Heston start costs Giants

By Andrew Seligman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Rookie bopper Kyle

Schwarber homered in his second consecutive
game and the Chicago Cubs beat the San
Francisco Giants 5-4 Thursday night.
The Cubs, playing meaningful baseball in
August for the first time in years, won for the
seventh time in eight games. They also
moved a half-game ahead of the Giants in the
race for the second NL wild card.
Jorge Soler drove in the games first two
runs with a bases-loaded single in the first
inning, and Schwarber made it 5-0 with a
three-run drive off Chris Heston (11-6) in the
second. But instead of an easy win, the Cubs
had to hang on.
San Franciscos Brandon Belt hit a two-run
homer off Jason Hammel in the fourth and
Brandon Crawford added another one off
Tommy Hunter in the sixth to make it 5-4.
Jason Motte and Pedro Strop each worked a
scoreless inning for the Cubs. Hector Rondon

pitched the ninth for his

17th save in 20 chances.
Hunter Pence had two
hits and scored two runs,
but the Giants lost for just
the sixth time in 22
games.
Neither starter lasted
long, with Heston going
Chris Heston only four innings and
Hammel getting lifted
after he walked the first two batters in the
fifth.
Heston, tops among major league rookies
in wins, took the loss after going 5-0 in his
previous eight starts for San Francisco. He
gave up five runs and five hits, walked two and
hit a batter with a pitch.
Hammel allowed two runs and three hits. He
exited after walking Ehire Adrianza and Hector
Sanchez.
Justin Grimm (2-3) got out of that jam, but
the game got tight after Hunter gave up
Crawfords two-run drive in the sixth.

Oakland wastes rally, lose in 10

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Jed Lowrie hit an RBI double off Edward Mujica with two outs in the
10th inning to make up for a costly error,
and the Houston Astros beat the Oakland
Athletics 5-4 on Thursday night.
Carlos Correa launched a go-ahead homer
in a three-run eighth that gave the Astros a 42 lead. But the AL West leaders had to rally
again after the As scored two unearned runs
off closer Luke Gregerson in the ninth.
Lowrie aided the Oakland comeback with a
throwing error at third base. But the former
Oakland shortstop, who drove in Houstons
first run with a sacrifice fly, came through an
inning later.
Jose Altuve led off the 10th with his third
hit. He stole second on a pitchout and was
sacrificed to third by Carlos Gomez. Mujica
(2-4) retired Correa on a popup before
Lowrie doubled to left field.
Gregerson (5-1) was credited with the win
after his fourth blown save in 26 chances.

Will Harris got three outs for his first major

league save, helped by a fine play from
Altuve at second base.
It was the fourth time this season Houston
won when trailing going into the eighth.
Stephen Vogt and Brett Lawrie homered for
Oakland, which wasted a strong outing by
rookie Aaron Brooks.
Both teams blew late leads.
The As were up 2-1 heading into the
eighth before Correa hit a two-run homer off
reliever Felix Rodriguez.
It was Correas second home run in four
days and sixth in the last 10 games. The 20year-old rookie is the youngest position
player in the majors and the only shortstop
in the last century to hit 14 home runs in his
first 51 games.
After Correas drive gave Houston a 3-2
lead, Lowrie walked and scored when Colby
Rasmus singled softy to left-center and the
ball got past Billy Burns for an error.
Gregerson couldnt make it hold up.
He issued a leadoff walk before Lowries
throwing error put runners at the corners

with none out. Ike Davis hit an RBI single,

and Burns drove in the tying run when he
barely beat out a potential double-play
grounder.
Brooks, part of the July 28 trade that sent
Ben Zobrist to Toronto, gave up four hits
and had a career-high seven strikeouts in
seven innings. He allowed only two runners
over his final five innings and left with a 21 lead.
Vogt homered off Houston starter Scott
Feldman in the second. Feldman gave up two
runs and five hits in six innings.
Lawrie homered leading off the fifth.

Up next
As tro s : LHP Dallas Keuchel (13-5) seeks
his AL-leading 14th win Friday when he
faces the As for the third time this season. In
his previous two starts against Oakland this
year, Keuchel has allowed only one unearned
run in 16 innings.
Athl eti cs : RHP Sonny Gray (11-4) has a
1.17 ERA over his past three starts but just
one win and two no-decisions to show for it.

Few changes at Chelsea as rivals spend big

By Rob Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After a summer of a sleaze at

FIFA, its time for an even richer
force in world soccer to take center
stage: The English Premier
League.
For all the turmoil at FIFA since
Chelsea lifted the Premier League
trophy in May, its been a relatively sedate off-season in England
with little of the upheaval of recent
years at the big clubs.
All but three clubs will go into
another Premier League with the
same managers.
Brendan Rodgers job security
seemed precarious but the
Liverpool manager survived a
postseason inquest into the teams
decline, and had to oversee the
summer transfer windows most
fraught move.
Raheem Sterlings switch from
Liverpool to Manchester City left
an unpleasant taste at Anfield but
was resolved with relative haste.
The $76 million forked out by City
was the most ever paid for an
English player, a gamble on
Sterlings future development
given that the winger has been a
topflight regular for only a couple
of years.
The move represented a return to
the heavy spending that Citys Abu
Dhabi ownership was restricted
from embarking on the previous
year as a consequence of breaching
UEFAs Financial Fair Play rules.

Across Manchester, the breathless pace with which Uniteds

squad is being reconstructed under
Louis van Gaal continued. Its
barely recognizable from the titlewinning side that Alex Ferguson
bequeathed to David Moyes two
years ago, with more than $350
million spent in the last year.
There has been a clear-out at Old
Trafford, with forwards Robin van
Persie, Radamel Falcao, and Angel
Di Maria going, and an attempt to
rebalance the squad. Midfielders
Bastian
Schweinsteiger
and
Morgan Schneiderlin, defender
Matteo Darmian, forward Memphis
Depay, and Argentina goalkeeper
Sergio Romero have joined the 20time English champions.
Last season was about Van Gaal
repairing the rot of Moyes brief,
ill-fated reign, and returning
United to the Champions League
albeit with a playoff still to
negotiate this month. Now the
Glazer family that owns United
will be expecting silverware
again, rather than just a top-four
finish.
But such was the ease Chelsea
strolled to the title in May by
eight points, the west London club
is likely to be a formidable force
again.
Mourinho is entering the third
season of his second spell at
Chelsea, with Stamford Bridge far
more harmonious than in 2007
when the Portuguese manager exited barely a month into his third

Sports brief
Former champ Lennox Lewis
looks to revive Canadian boxing
MONTREAL Lennox Lewis wants to
revive pro boxing in Canada.
The former heavyweight champion is the
frontman and one of a group of promoters
that hopes to take a sport that has faded
everywhere in the country expect Quebec and
put it back in the national consciousness.
Montreal has carried the flag for the rest

Jose Mourinho

campaign.
In this moment I dont think I
am the champion, Mourinho said
ahead of this weekends opener
against Swansea. Saturday starts
that fight for the points.
While chiding rivals for their
spending, Mourinho has been relatively parsimonious so far in this
transfer window. The principal
arrival has been Falcao on loan
from Monaco despite the forward being so ineffective at United
while goalkeeper Petr Cech was
surprisingly allowed to join
London rival Arsenal, which is
chasing its first league title since
2004.
Other teams are going to
improve for sure because they
invest a lot in their squads, and
their squads are obviously much
better, Mourinho said. We are the
same. We have to be better.
Cech joins an Arsenal side that is
growing in confidence after a thirdplace finish and a successful
defense of its FA Cup trophy last

of Canada, Lewis said Thursday. Now Im

coming on board because I want the rest of
Canada to come on board. I want to give an
opportunity to young kids to box as professionals.
Canadian boxing was in the doldrums in
the late 1980s and early 1990s. Even
Montreals Arturo Gatti headed to the United
States to turn pro in 1991.
Lewis group will start with a fight card
Sept. 11 at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto
featuring Adonis Stevensons sixth defense
of his WBC light heavyweight title against
unheralded American Tommy Karpency.

season, helped by the inspired

form of Chile striker Alexis
Sanchez. However, it needs to
avoid the kind of injuries that
blighted last season for Theo
Walcott, Jack Wilshere, and Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Arsenals north London rival,
Tottenham, will similarly be hoping that striker Harry Kane remains
injury-free and as prolific after
being the revelation of the league
last season and scoring 31 goals in
all competitions.
May witnessed some high-profile farewells, with Steven Gerrard
and Frank Lampard leaving to see
out their careers across the Atlantic
in Major League Soccer.
However, some faces from the
past are returning to the worlds
most-watched domestic soccer
competition.
Claudio Ranieri, the so-called
tinkerman ditched at the start of
Roman Abramovichs Chelsea revolution for Mourinho in 2004, was
the shock appointment at
Leicester. Out of work since being
fired by Greece, the Italian replaced
Nigel Pearson, who was dismissed
despite unexpectedly keeping
Leicester in the topflight.
At West Ham, Slaven Bilic
replaced Sam Allardyce as manager
18 years after playing for the east
London club, which is preparing
for its last season at Upton Park
before moving into a revamped
Olympic Stadium.
The Croatian takes his first job

in English management just as

Steve McClaren embarks on the
latest step in his managerial rehabilitation since his dismal 18month England reign ended in
2007 with a loss to Bilics
Croatia.
Almost a decade after leaving
Middlesbrough, McClaren left
Derby to return to the topflight by
filling the void left by the firing of
John Carver, who came close to
relegating Newcastle.
The league newcomers are
Norwich, Watford and, for the first
time, Bournemouth.
The trip to the southern seaside
town will see teams playing in
front of barely 11,000 fans
almost seven times smaller than
Old Trafford.
We have to use it as an advantage, Bournemouth manager Eddie
Howe said. Its a small stadium,
hopefully the atmosphere will be
very good, potentially clubs wont
enjoy coming.
Just getting the opportunity to
host Aston Villa in Saturdays
league opener is remarkable.
Bournemouth came close to going
out of business and narrowly
avoided dropping out of the fourth
professional division six years
ago before being rescued by
Russian investor Maxim Demin.
Staying in the league will be a
colossal achievement, but another
Russian-owned team Chelsea
is likely to be the team to catch at
the top once again.

Ledecky, Lochte golden at swim championships

By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAZAN, Russia Katie Ledecky just

keeps winning at the world swimming
championships.
Ryan Lochte is back on top, too, and
together he and Ledecky carried the United
States to its first two-gold medal night of
the eight-day meet Thursday.
Ledecky anchored a 3.04-second comeback victory in the 4x200-meter freestyle
relay for her fourth gold. Lochte won a
record fourth consecutive title in the 200
individual medley.
We had a great night, Ledecky said.
Were really getting some momentum and
showing what we can do.
Missy Franklin led off the relay for the
Americans, and Leah Smith and Katie
McLaughlin kept them within striking distance of Sweden, which was under worldrecord pace for much of the 16-lap race.
Ledecky dived in and quickly pulled even
with Swedish anchor Ida Marko-Varga. The
American teenager opened a slight lead at
700 meters and extended it to a body length
before powering home in 7 minutes, 45.37
seconds.
I knew I could bring it home and get this
thing done, said Ledecky, who climbed out
of the pool and into an embrace with her
teammates. We had a blast out there. We
were so relaxed.
It was the third straight victory in the
4x200 relay for the U.S. at the worlds.
Italy earned silver in 7:48.41. China took
bronze in 7:49.10. The Swedes faded to
fourth.
Ledecky won the 200 free on Wednesday,
to go with victories in the 400 and 1,500
freestyles. She set two world records in the
longest distance race for women.

REUTERS

Ryan Lochte captured his fourth straight world title in the 200 individual medley.
Shes phenomenal. Shes a beast,
Lochte said of his 18-year-old teammate.
Between my win and her world records,
hopefully it got Team USA on a roll.
Michael Phelps put in his two cents from
half a world away, texting Lochte and urging
him to be more of a leader with the U.S.
team. Phelps qualified for the worlds but
wasnt in Kazan as part of his punishment
by USA Swimming for a second drunk-driving arrest. Hes competing at the U. S.
nationals in Texas this week.
Hes right, Lochte said. Ive got to be
the team leader, whether its in the pool or
out of the pool, cheering, getting them
going.
After a fourth-place finish in the 200 free,
Lochte made history in the 200 IM. He
trailed through the first three legs but came
home strong on the freestyle lap and won in

Stewart still struggling

a year after fatal wreck
By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As he ran out of gas on the final lap

Sunday at Pocono Raceway, Tony Stewart
wearily asked his team where he finished.
Ninth, he was told.
Hell, Ill take that, he replied.
It was a curiously calm reaction considering only minutes before Stewart had been
poised for a top-five finish. Maybe even
top three. Stewart didnt
complain about the lost
opportunity. He takes
what he can get on the
race track these days,
which are often bleak and
embarrassing for the
three-time
NASCAR
champion.
But thats the way the
Tony Stewart
last two years have gone
for Stewart, who is to race Sunday at
Watkins Glen International Raceway for the
first time since 2012. He missed the 2013
race with a broken leg, then skipped the
race last season following the accident in
which his sprint car struck and killed Kevin
Ward Jr. the night before the race.
Sunday, the day Stewart is scheduled to run
NASCARs road course race, is the anniversary of Wards death.
Nothing has been the same for Stewart
since the 20-year-old was killed when he
climbed from his wrecked race car and
walked down the track at Canandaigua
Motorsports Park to confront the NASCAR
star. Ward was struck and killed by Stewart,
who called it 100 percent an accident. A
grand jury declined to indict Stewart.
Hes not the same person he was before
Wards death, and hes not the same driver,
either. Hes acknowledged several times the
last few months that his confidence has
been shattered, his comfort level in a race
car is questionable and its a struggle to find
much joy in his profession.

I dont think Ill ever be the same from

what happened the last two years, Stewart
said Wednesday in Texas. I dont know how
you could be, I dont know how anybody
ever could be back to exactly the way they
were.
But not being back exactly the same that
I was doesnt mean that I havent become
better in some way. I think theres always
positives that come out of every scenario.
The easiest way to move forward and not
linger on the tragedy is to put together a
strong weekend on the track.
Those are hard to come by these days. The
44-year-old driver hasnt won in 62 races, a
streak that dates to Dover in June 2013,
before he broke his leg.
But Watkins Glen is a specialty race and
Stewart has won five previous times on the
road course. And theres been some hope the
last two weeks he qualified well at
Indianapolis and ran OK until pit strategy
blew his shot at a good finish.
He also had another good qualifying run
last weekend at Pocono before running out
of fuel dropped him to ninth.
Its been a decent couple of weeks, he
said. I think its a little early to put judgment on whether weve got it figured it out
or not, but at least we qualified well the last
two weeks. That definitely has been a bonus
for sure.
Despite the bad memories now associated
with Watkins Glen, Stewart is headed to the
track with a positive attitude in what will be
his first race there in three years. Hes hoping for rain Sunday so NASCAR will use
rain tires, something he believes would
give him an edge.
Im looking forward it. Its definitely
one of my favorite tracks. Weve had really,
really good luck there, he said. Im actually praying for rain on Sunday. I dont know
why, but I have my heart set on racing in the
rain at the Glen, so Im hoping somewhere
in the equation we can figure out how to
make it rain.

1:55.81.
Thats the coolest thing, Lochte said.
He joined Grant Hackett of Australia as
four-time champions of their respective
events. Hackett once dominated the 1,500
free.
Im definitely really humbled, Lochte
said.
Thiago Pereira of Brazil finished second
in 1:56.65, and Wang Shun of China was
third in 1:56.81.
It was Lochtes 24th world championships medal second only to Phelps
career total of 33 and his 16th gold.
The U.S. has won the event seven consecutive times, starting with Phelps three
titles in 2003, 2005, and 2007. Lochte
picked up the mantle with previous victories in 2009, 2011, and 2013.
Lochte kept it low-key after hitting the

wall, exchanging a hand clasp with Pereira,

who was in the lane next to him. Lochte had
just two individual events, although he
could be selected for the remaining relays.
Pereira led the backstroke and breaststroke legs before Lochte overtook the
Brazilian midway through the final lap.
I thought I could break 1:56 but I couldnt, Pereira said. Im happy with a medal,
and right now this is just good training. Im
looking forward because we have a year to
go to the Olympics in Rio, in my country.
Ning Zetao of China led all the way to win
the 100 freestyle in a race missing two key
competitors. He touched in 47.84 seconds.
This evening is the night I will never
forget, Ning said through a translator. It
is a dream of Asia, of China, to get gold
medals in sprint distances, so I will have
more confidence to prepare for the Rio
Olympic Games.
Ning swept the 50 and 100 freestyles at
last years Asian Games, becoming the first
Asian swimmer to break the 48-second barrier.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia finished
second in 47.95.
Federico Grabich of Argentina was third in
48.12, earning his countrys first medal at a
long-course worlds.
Olympic champion Nathan Adrian of the
United States tied for seventh, Vladimir
Morozov of Russia was disqualified for a
false start in the semifinals, and defending
champion James Magnussen of Australia
was home with a shoulder injury.
The Olympics will be completely different, Grabich said. Magnussen will be
swimming, Adrian will be in better form. It
will be much, much more difficult.
Natsumi Hoshi of Japan rallied on the last
lap to win the womens 200 butterfly, and
Fu Yuanhui of China won the womens 50
backstroke, a non-Olympic event.

The 29-year-old Thompson played
in 81 games last season with 63
starts, averaging 6.1 points, 6.5
rebounds and 24.6 minutes with
seven double-doubles.
He was drafted by the Sacramento
Kings with the 12th overall pick of
the 2008 draft. Thompson was traded
along with Carl Landry and Nik
Stauskas to Philadelphia, where
Thompson spends most of the offseason anyway. He does still have a
house in Sacramento, but will now
be house hunting around San
Francisco.
Thompson has been playing the
Warriors four times a year, and thats
going to make it that much sweeter
when I play Sacramento this year.
With a fairly set starting lineup
going into the season under secondyear coach Steve Kerr, led by NBA
MVP Stephen Curry and NBA Finals
MVP Andre Iguodala, Thompson
hopes to take on as big a role as possible to help this team keep winning.
Thats kind of for Coach Kerr to
decide and me to go with it, he said.
Its a little different approach when
a team comes off a championship.
They have that format that works, so
you obviously you dont want to
come in expecting to do too much,
you want to see how the system is. I
know I can do things offensively and
defensively and then just see how
that works in their system and keep
the ball rolling like it was last season for them.

long way. I used to be the hot [head]

coach, always yelling at the officials.
I definitely enjoy coaching
more.
Rathmans coaching career started
in much the same way. After spending her first two years at Notre
Dame-Belmont, earning a call-up to
the varsity team midway through her
freshman year, Rathman daughter
of former San Francisco 49ers running back and current running backs
coach Tom Rathman and her family moved to Michigan when her dad
got a job coaching with the Detroit
Lions. She spent her final two years
at Bloomfield Hills Lahser High
School and also played with the
Michigan Elite club program, winning the U18 USA Juniors Girls
Invitational Tournament in June
2005, earning all-tournament honors.
She went on to earn a scholarship
to San Diego State, but got hurt
before ever playing a match for the
Aztecs. After graduating, she moved
back to the Peninsula and started
coaching at Peninsula Juniors.
I decided to go into coaching
because Im super passionate about
the sport of volleyball, said
Rathman, 28. I love teaching, love
being around kids.
The fact that her famous dad is also
a former player and coach is not lost
on Rathman.
Its kind of funny, playing the
sport and then taking the coaching
route, Rathman said. [My dad has]
been a big part of where I learned my

coaching style, my philosophies

(on coaching). He loves to be
hands on, so Ive always admired
that.
Balestrieri said he believes working as co-coaches will actually be
beneficial for the team because each
brings something different to the
table.
Nicole, her strong points are
skills and teaching and lot of the
physical aspects (of the game),
Balestrieri said. Some of my
strengths are game management,
more of the mental side of the
game.
Mercy has had a steady history of
volleyball success over the last
decade or so, having only two losing seasons in the last eight years,
the last coming in 2011 when it finished 14-20.
The Crusaders have won 20 games
five times over that span and were
18-15 last season. Playing in the
WBALs Skyline Division the
lower of the two-division league
the Crusaders have won nine WBAL
games in each of the last three years,
going 9-1 in Skyline Division play
last season.
This year, the Crusaders will play
in the WBALs Foothill Division,
where they will face the likes of
Castilleja, Menlo School and Sacred
Heart Prep, perennial CCS-caliber
teams.
Balestrieri admitted he wasnt
very familiar with the Mercy program, but just during his time at
Sacred Heart Prep which would
play Mercy every season he
knew there was something there.
We saw the community Mercy
had behind those teams and it was
very impressive, Balestrieri said.
The limited view we had (of Mercy)
was very positive.

the Colts.
He averaged just 2.9 yards per
carry with Indianapolis in the
final 14 games of the 2013 season
and was not much better last season when he ran for 519 yards,
averaging 3. 3 yards per carry
before being released.
I have a lot to prove to
myself, he said. Everybody
wants to put pressure on me. That
pressure is nothing but greatness.
People want me to be great out
here. They can say I was overweight or out of shape. But if they
saw me in that conditioning test, I
killed it. That was fun.
The Raiders hope Richardson

can help improve a running game

that was the least productive in the
NFL last season. He is in the mix
with Roy Helu Jr. and undrafted
rookie Michael Dyer as backups
behind Latavius Murray.
Dyer and Helu are currently sidelined by injuries, leading to
Richardson getting extra time on
Thursday as the Raiders try to
determine what his role will be.
I think that will evolve as we
get going, offensive coordinator
Bill Musgrave said. We have a
number of weeks left. We want him
to contribute. We want to devise
some plays that fit his strengths
as well.

most could have imagined.
This fire behavior is almost unprecedented at this point, the fire behavior is living
up to its billing based on the drought and
the conditions out there, said Stan Maupin,
deputy fire chief with the Redwood City Fire
Department.
To help combat the extreme hazards billowing throughout California that prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of
emergency last week, various San Mateo
County fire departments are lending extensive resources through the master mutual aid
system.
This is the great thing about the master
mutual aid system for the state of
California, said Menlo Park Fire Chief
Harold Schapelhouman. Essentially, we
function as one fire agency during disasters
like wildland fires. The California model
is the most sophisticated, versatile and
arguably the best fire response system in
the world. ... Everybody gives a little and a

BOND
Continued from page 1
But the boards decision Thursday indicated a possible shift in direction, electing
to focus solely on enrollment growth,
while making no clear statement on
whether to address what officials had identified as an issue of equitable access to
neighborhood schools throughout the district.
North Central resident Myesha Brown,
who has a 4-year-old daughter, advocated
for the board to move forward with the
small neighborhood school that had been
proposed.
I would like her to have pride not only in
her school, but the neighborhood she is
from, Brown said of her daughter.
The district needs to build roughly 40
classrooms to accommodate the more than
12,200 students in the coming year, which
is more than 250 students than the previous
year. An additional 400 students are projected to enroll by 2019.
Under previous recommendations of dis-

little from different agencies equals a lot.

With various counties and departments
opting to participate in the reciprocal system that in essence creates the largest fire
station in the world, those who give are
guaranteed to get back, Schapelhouman and
Maupin said.
San Mateo County has been the beneficiary of this shared services agreement, most
poignantly during the San Bruno explosion
and fire in 2010.
While personnel are being deployed
across the state to battle the drought-fueled
fires, Maupin and Schapelhouman noted the
local communities are never left unattended.
As soon as individuals are deployed, others
are called in to ensure theres no gap in service.
The county has three active Type 1 Strike
teams each comprised of five fire engines
staffed with four firefighters as well as one
chief and a trainee. Through an agreement
with the governors Office of Emergency
Services, three state-supplied fire engines
that are typically housed in and staffed by
local personnel from San Mateo, Pacifica
and Daly City, have also been called to
action. With another 12 single-resource
firefighters out, the county is contributing a

total of 90 firefighters and 18 engines.

The majority of these county resources are
in Humboldt County with two strike teams
fighting the cluster of fires known as the
Mad River Complex. The third strike team
is at the Rocky Fire in Lake County.
The Rocky Fire spread at a rapid pace earlier this week while burning more than
69,000 acres and destroying 43 residences
as of Thursday morning, according to the
California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection.
This is probably the fastest fire spread
weve ever seen, Schapelhouman said. I
worry about that, we just need to make sure
we dont needlessly put our guys in harms
way.
Despite the associated dangers, many are
more than willing to rise to the occasion
and in turn, come home with more advanced
training, experience and knowledge to benefit the communities in which they serve,
Schapelhouman and Maupin said.
Everybody that goes out, they generally
want to go out because its a different experience than the day to day working in the
county. It can be exciting, theres no doubt
about it, said Maupin, who took the north
countys strike team on an assignment last

year. Theres kind of a camaraderie around

it, when you work with a group of people
together, and they really kind of zero in on
their situation and work together.
The teams typically go out from 10 to 21
days at a time and depending if theyre
fighting on state-owned or federally-owned
land, will work in 12-hour or 24-hour
shifts.
As the states now near year-round fire
season continues, its likely county
resources and those who risk their lives for
the betterment of their communities will
continue on these deployments, Maupin
and Schapelhouman said.
Everybody wants to go if youre working
in a firehouse because their craft is fighting
fire and these are great opportunities to go
practice your craft. And its rewarding, its
rewarding to go out and save peoples property and sometimes save peoples lives,
Schapelhouman said. These are phenomenal experiences for them to bring that
knowledge back and bring it here and make
them better at their craft.

trict staff, bond money would be used to add

classrooms in San Mateo at George Hall
and Sunnybrae elementary schools, as well
as Abbot, Bayside STEM and Borel middle
schools. New gyms will be built at the middle schools too.
Middle school enrollment growth in
Foster City will be addressed by renovating
the campus at Bowditch, and adding capacity with new buildings as well as relocatable
classrooms, under previous recommendations.
However, the future of addressing increasing enrollment in Foster City elementary
schools is a bit murkier.
According to Sunny Tong, of Westlake
Realty which owns Charter Square, negotiations with the school district to purchase
the site are still merely in the early stages
and are largely contingent on whether the
bond passes.
Everything we talk about is very preliminary and very conceptual, he said. There
are numbers being thrown around, but there
has been no commitment.
Private developers have also expressed
interest in building a mixed-use project at
Charter Square, said Tong.

The school district is competing against

what private enterprise thinks is the highest and best use for the site, he said.
Should district ofcials and owners of
Charter Square not be able to strike a deal,
the district would likely set its sights on
constructing new buildings at Brewer Island
and Audobon in Foster City, according to
previous recommendations.
The alternative, which is expected to cost
considerably less than between $50 million and $60 million likely required to buy
land at Charter Square and build a school,
would drive the population of the Foster
City elementary schools to more than
1,000 students.
Foster City Councilman Herb Perez,
speaking as a private citizen, encouraged
the board to delay approving the bond, to
grant additional time to conduct what he
believed would be a more robust and effective campaign.
He also advocated for the board to move
forward with the proposal to establish a
school in the North Central community.
Ofcials expect it would cost roughly
$23 million to build a small neighborhood
school for 250 students of the community

on the campus of College Park Elementary

School.
The campus is currently home to the districts Mandarin immersion program, and
students from the North Central community
are bused elsewhere in the district. A previous, larger neighborhood elementary
school in North Central closed, due in part
to academic failures.
The bond will be oated to voters in an
all-mail ballot election, as all voting jurisdictions in San Mateo County recently
approved a pilot program altering the election style, drafted by Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D- South San Francisco. More than
55 percent of voter approval would be
required to pass the tax.
The ballot measure will compete during
the fall election with a proposal by the
City of San Mateo to extend a current quarter-cent sales tax.
Trustee Lory Lorimer Lawson advocated
for voters to support the measure.
We need your help, and anticipate your
help, she said.

the Fantastic Four have floun-

Ill admit it. About an hour

into Fantastic Four, the

Wouldnt it be nice, I
thought, as I watched these

nobody seemed to care much

about anyway, to see Ethan

with a clear and immediate

OK, enough wistfulness.

Jon Stewart says farewell as The Daily Show host

By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Jon Stewart said an emotional goodbye on Thursday, after 16 years
on Comedy Centrals The Daily Show that
established him as Americas foremost
satirist of politicians and the media.
Those who scored a ticket to the 6 p.m.
taping said they were sworn to secrecy about
the details of Stewarts final show, which
brought together Daily Show alumni and
staff. Stephen Colbert was there. Bruce
Springsteen and The E Street Band played a
set. From start to finish, it was fantastic,
said audience member Randy Gunnell, 29, of
Westchester, New York. It was emotional,
people crying all over the place.
Stewart, 52, announced last winter that he
was getting restless and it was time to move
on. Trevor Noah replaces him as host next
month. The final show airs at 11 p.m. EDT.
The ending was an unusual one, said
Michelle Light, who also was in the
audience.

It was definitely not a regular show. It was

not at all the show where you are going
to see all the headline news and hes
doing his normal shtick, said Light,
of New York. They sort of hinted and
gave you a nibble ... and then it was
on to everything else to sort of commemorate this last moment.
Armed with a razor-sharp wit and
research team adept at finding
video evidence of hypocrisy
or unintentional comedy
among the nations
establishment,
Stewart turned a
sleepy basic-cable
entertainment show
into a powerful cultural platform.
Stewart turned the
spotlight on himself
during his penultimate
show Wednesday, noting
how institutions he had
supposedly eviscerated

were stronger than ever.

The world is demonstrably worse
than when I started, Stewart wailed.
Have I caused this?
His only solace was that his
beloved New York Mets were in first
place on the day of his last show.
Fellow comic Louis C.K., his guest
Wednesday, noted that Stewart was able
to keep his show fresh and funny for a
long time, keeping up with the
worlds changes. It really is
one of the great comedy accomplishments of all time, he
said.
A line of people hoping to
get in to the taping gathered
outside of the Comedy
Central
studio
on
Manhattans far West
Side. First in line was
Chad Lance, a 27-yearold
musician
from
Philadelphia who said he
arrived at 2:30 a.m., who said he

couldnt wait to see what happened.

No one knows whos going to come, no
one knows whats going to happen, he
said. I think this is going to be one of the
most exciting TV tapings ever.
Twenty-one-year-old Jessica Vitovitch
was anxiously waiting to see if shed get a
seat.
I think Stewart has contributed so much
to the political consciousness, especially
... my generation, she said. For this to be
his finale, its a huge cultural moment.
Stewarts fans will be forced to navigate
the first presidential election since 1996
without his commentary, a loss that felt particularly acute with the first Republican candidates debate taking place less than three
hours after the taping of his final show.
Its the third major farewell for a latenight television personality in eight
months. Stewarts Comedy Central colleague, Stephen Colbert, ended The Colbert
Report in December. David Letterman
signed off from CBS in May, to be replaced
this fall by Colbert.

The Fantastic Four are among Marvels
longest-running series and most beloved
groups. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby,
the scientists-turned-superheroes were relatable and wry in their interactions as a team
even when they werent fighting
supervillains. When it debuted in November
1961, it was a refreshing revelation that
helped inform the Marvel voice and set a
path for Iron Man and Spider-Man.
The family aspect is derived from the
brother and sister pairing of Sue and Johnny
Storm, the bond between the four after they
get powers, and the fact that Sue and Reed
Richards eventually become Marvels most
stable couple.
But the movies have yet to get them right,
or devise a structure to introduce them to
fans and potential fans.

reboots, Fox is trying again to resurrect the

final scene IS terrible. But well get to that.)
Its not that the raw materials arent there.

first family with a cast of fresh faces in

Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara,
and Jamie Bell, and a promising but essentially untested director at the helm in Josh
Trank. The film opens Friday.
Tranks breakout, the found footage sci-fi
thriller Chronicle was the kind of sleeper
hit that can make a novice filmmakers name
in Hollywood. Produced for a mere $12 million by Fox, Chronicle ended up making
$126 million worldwide in 2012.
It would also be the unintentional tryout
that made Trank a no-brainer to revive the
thematically similar Fantastic Four. Fox
set Simon Kinberg, whod already succeeded
in helping craft the worlds of X-Men: First
Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, to
produce and co-write the origin story.
Trank cast his Chronicle star Jordan as
Johnny Storm/Human Torch, who suggested
his That Awkward Moment co-star Miles
Teller for the part of the genius scientist
Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic. Mara and
Bell came aboard too as Sue Storm/Invisible
Woman and Ben Grimm/The Thing and they
were off, each knowing that success could
mean a multi-film, multi-year commitment.
Bell said Trank promised his cast a small,

human approach to the larger-than-life

story about a these humans who get superpowers after a violent accident. Mara said
she latched on to the proposed tone and his
ambitions to make a completely different
and a modern take on the comics.
Teller, who has been transitioning
between the indie and studio world with roles
in Whiplash and the Divergent films
was intrigued by the opportunity to be part
of something this size. Hed also been
impressed with Chronicle.
(Trank) talked about the body horror of it
and how these kids were going to have to
deal with this trauma before they could harness it. Before they could combat evil
Doctor Doom, they were going to have to
transition to that place. I was interested in
the transition of it, said Teller.
Late game reshoots caused some speculation that the film had problems. But,
reshoots are fairly standard for big films.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation and
Mad Max: Fury Road are just two examples
from this year of films that required them and
ended up working for critics and audiences in
the end. It was mostly a headache getting the
cast all of whom were off shooting other

films into the same room.

In the midst of this, eyebrows were further
raised after Tranks mysterious no-show at
the fan event Star Wars Celebration, and his
subsequent abrupt departure from the Star
Wars anthology film he had been slated to
direct. His statement referenced wanting
time to pursue some original creative
opportunities. Though Trank did appear at
Comic-Con, hes not been a fixture on the
promotional circuit for Fantastic Four, and
was not made available for this article.
The cast are both diplomatic and unspecific about Trank, citing his vision, his intensity and his preciseness as a director.
From Chronicle to Fantastic Four he
had the workload quadruple. Chronicle is
not an (Intellectual Property). There were no
boundaries to the world that he could create,
said Jordan. When youre dealing with a
property thats been around for 40 years, you
have to kind of stay true to that history.
Fantastic Four is probably one of the hardest comic book properties to develop into
an actual movie because there are so many
different story lines and each character needs
its own attention and arc. It makes it very
hard to make that into a film.

take a test spin.

Oops! They end up on Planet Zero, aka the
other dimension, but well just call it PlanetVery-Bad-CGI. (Are these really the best special effects money can buy? And heres
another question: If the other dimension is
so, um, one-dimensional, why do we want to
get there so badly?) The idea is just to plant a
flag, but Reeds curiosity leads him close to a
mysterious energy force, and havoc ensues.
When the group returns, theyre forever
changed.
The best scene is where everyone discovers
their new forms. Reed (Mister Fantastic) has
limbs that stretch indefinitely. Johnny
(Human Torch) is a blaze of flames. Sue
(Invisible Woman) can disappear. Poor Ben
(The Thing), is unrecognizable, a powerful
mass of rocks.
If you know the story, created more than a
half-century ago by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby,
you know that the four must fight their erst-

while colleague, now Dr. Doom, to save

Earth. The fight is energetic but feels rather
perfunctory. And then theres the final scene,
where the team stands together, and the dialogue suddenly becomes so silly, people
erupted in laughter at my screening.
This movie isnt the first attempt to make
this story into a profitable franchise.
Previous efforts failed, and the thought here
must have been to re-energize things with a
young and appealing cast. But these actors
unlike, say, Andrew Garfield and Emma
Stone in the recent Spider-Man films are
not well used, and their charisma remains
largely untapped.
The result? Something much less than fantastic.
Fantastic Four, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sci-fi action
violence, and language. Running time: 100
minutes. One star out of four.

But the precocious lad has already developed a mini-version of said teleporter. Years
later, Reed (now Teller) is back with his
invention at the high school science fair.
Here, he and Ben meet Dr. Franklin Storm
(Cathey) and daughter Sue (Mara), who realize what Reed has a better teleporter than
their own. Storm gives Reed a scholarship at
his science institute to pursue his dream.
There, Reed meets Storms son Johnny
(Jordan), a reluctant scientist but expert
builder, and the disaffected but talented
young scientist Victor von Doom (Toby
Kebbell). Soon, theyre a team. And eventually, the full-blown teleporter is ready. One
night, the youngsters get tipsy and decide to

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

FIND OUT ALL THE REASONS WHY:

I LOVE YOU, CALIFORNIA, AT THE
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. California. It seems to have it all. And
specimens of the all it has may be seen displayed in I Love You, California, at the San
Francisco Airport Museum. Within its
160,000 square miles, California has the
greatest variety of natural areas, flora and
fauna in North America. Many of the plants
and animals that are found here are indigenous and found nowhere else. Rocks, minerals and fossils abound within the states borders. Gold, the state mineral, attracted
legions of new settlers to California during
the Gold Rush of 1849. The state gemstone
benitoite, a rare blue crystal resembling sapphire, appears only in San Benito County.
The La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles yields
species such as the dire wolf, which became
extinct about 10,000 years ago. I Love You,
California, drawn from the collections of the
California Academy of Sciences, presents an
intriguing cross-section of these natural categories. Invertebrates from abalone to deep
sea squid, birds such as acorn woodpeckers
and tufted puffins, plant pressings including
the state flower, the California poppy, land
and marine mammal skulls, fossils and myriad minerals all illustrate the diversity of the
Golden State. I Love You, California is on
display at San Francisco Airports
International Terminal through Jan. 3, 2016.

Edgerton makes
a deft directing
debut with Gift
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nobody likes a bully. Especially a past

victim with a long memory.
Figuring out whos the bully and whos the
victim is part of the mystery in The Gift, a
satisfying directorial debut from writer, producer and star Joel Edgerton. While it doesnt break any new ground, the first feature
from new studio STX Entertainment succeeds
as the kind of unsettling psychological
thriller that could inspire one to doublecheck the locks on the front door.
Simon (Jason Bateman) and wife Robyn
(Rebecca Hall) just relocated from Chicago
to a picture-perfect house in his hometown
of Los Angeles, where he has a great new job
and an impending promotion. Simon insists
his wife not start working right away so
they can focus on starting a family.
While out shopping, the couple bumps
into Simons old high school classmate,
Gordo (Edgerton). Shy and awkward, he reintroduces himself to Simon, who didnt recognize him. They exchange pleasantries and
innocuously part ways.

Suddenly, a bottle of wine appears on the

couples doorstep, a gift from Gordo, though
they hadnt given him their address. Then he
pops by unannounced, ostensibly to be
helpful. More spontaneous gifts follow
he fills their pond with koi along with a
dinner invitation.
To Robyn, Gordo seems lonely. To
Simon, he seems delusional. He remembers
they called him Weirdo back in high school.
When Simon insists they cut ties, Gordo
responds with an ominous reference to their
shared history, which inspires Robyn to
examine what happened between them as
teenagers.
She becomes the protagonist in the films
second half, an amateur detective investigating her husbands past.
The more she discovers, the more she distrusts him. Gordo doesnt seem so solid,
either.
Along the way theres a pond of dead fish,
a disappearing dog and a scary shower
sequence; nerves ratcheted to the max for
each by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans
doom-heralding score.

polished, stylized thrillers of the 1980s and
90s, when things went bad for Yuppies. Its
even set close to the period, as evidenced by
characters reliance on landlines and CDs.
The sprawling, glass-walled, pond-fronted house Robyn and Simon live in is so gorgeously aspirational, its practically a character in the film, an ever-present symbol of
wealth and promise. Gordos class envy
shows when he tries to outshine their home
with his own.
Edgerton keeps his screenplay timely by
using bullying as a backdrop, imagining
what happens to teenage tormentors and
their targets years later. He also draws a modern wife whos equally empowered to stand
on her own.
The three leads make their performances
look effortless, a credit to Edgertons direc-

tion. Hes eerily on point as a quiet lurker

with a menacing side. Hall is commanding
as a confident yet vulnerable wife, conflicted about the man she married. Bateman deliciously plays against type as a manipulative, back-slapping executive who will step
on anyone to get ahead.
The Gift takes a leap at its conclusion
thats a little hard to believe, but it doesnt
undo the storys main theme, which Gordo
might creepily sum up as what happens
when you poison other peoples minds with
ideas.
Like it might be a good idea to check the
locks.
The Gift, a STX Entertainment release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for language. Running time: 108
minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

with
Mavericks, Cartel CEO Griffin Guess
said Thursday.
Since Cartel struck a deal with the
local event organizers including
Clark, his wife Cassandra Clark and
local business owner Brian Overfelt
the group has worked to bolster the
revamped Titans of Mavericks competition. But when representatives from
the World Surf League threw its own
permit application in the ring earlier
this year, the Harbor District suddenly
appeared to have authority over who
would control the renowned competition.
Controversy, lawsuits and allegations of wrongdoing began to unravel
but ultimately Cartel maintained the
contest for the 2015-16 season, however, there were no guarantees for the
subsequent years. Now that Cartel and
the local governing board are committed to remaining in charge through
2021, officials said they can offer
assurances while seeking long-term
sponsorships
and broadcasting
rights.
Now we can absolutely look forward to a long-term relationship with
the San Mateo County Harbor District
and thats very comforting to see that
relationship further build out, definitely five years and beyond, said Cartel

the principals office, according to San
Mateo County District Attorney Steve

The San Mateo resident claimed she
needed the $8,030 taken from a safe in
the front office and $1,930 in cash
from the principals office to cover
debts from a gambling addiction, said
Wagstaffe.
Wagstaffe did not know the nature of
the gambling activity, but said the
money was found missing after
McDaniel had left a note in the bank
box saying she took the cash, with
intention to pay it back.
After having not returned the money
over an extended period of time, the

accounting the smaller cash box
reported McDaniel to an assistant

Chief Operating Officer Brian Waters.

The matter was brought up
Wednesday on the districts consent
calendar with staff recommending the
commissioners postpone a decision
on future permits to see how Cartel
handles this years event.
Instead, the item was pulled for discussion with various members of the
community showing support for the
contest to remain with local management. Ultimately, the board voted 3-0
with board President Tom Mattusch
recusing himself and Commissioner
Sabrina Brennan abstaining.
Brennan said while she supports a
contest, she wasnt comfortable voting on a five-year contract that wasnt
drafted or provided to the board.
District Interim General Manager
Glen Lazof said the boards action will
extend the same terms of the current
permit through 2021, which includes
an annual $5,000 application fee as
well as an approximate $11, 000
retainer thats used to pay for staff and
associated expenses.
Overall, Lazof said hes glad to see
local government in action as the
community was able to impart change.
It was very impressive. It was a big
crowd. It was emotional because if
you know how the surfing community
is, they care deeply for what they do,
Lazof said. Its good to be reminded
how broadly it impacts the community
and the value of a successful event.
One proponent was Charise
McHugh, CEO of the Half Moon Bay
Chamber of Commerce, who noted
how people from across the world are
drawn year round to seek out the
famous spot, said Lazof and
Commissioner Robert Bernardo.
This is such an important event to
this whole area. She was urging the

commission to remember how important it was. She told some tales about
how it used to be the Pumpkin Festival
that put us on the map; but now, everybody that comes wants to see where
Mavericks is, Lazof said.
Bernardo agreed adding it was the
right decision, particularly as the
Clarks, who run a surf shop at Pillar
Point Harbor and maintained the permits for years, are close to the community and the districts tenants.
Its really important to send a very
clear message to all of our tenants that
this is how we treat the people who do
business in our harbor, Bernardo said.
When Mavericks is there right now
actively getting sponsors, getting
news affiliates, getting people excited
and wanting to advertise for this huge
sports event, you cant delay [a decision] like that to 2016. That is just
ludicrous. All of that legwork has to
start now. Its just good business for
Mavericks and its good business for
the Harbor District and the whole
coastside.
Event organizers were thrilled with
the districts show of confidence and
are gearing up to prove themselves
worthy. While last season passed without an event due to lackluster conditions during the open window period,
forecasters are predicting a powerful El
Nio is brewing.
By allowing all of us together, on
all sides, this only elevates and
strengthens our community.
Because its no easy day out there, so
why not do it with a smile on your face
and with people you care about doing it
with? Guess said. We are excited in
the fact that El Nio has aligned itself
for a significant display of oceanic
conditions that most likely, will pay
dividends for all these fans.

trict administration, said Wagstaffe.

McDaniel did repay the school the
full amount, prior to her appearance in
court, which Wagstaffe said will be
reflected in the courts case against
her.
When I look at something like this,
the amount is not overwhelmingly
high, she did pay it back and she had
led a rather exemplary career, he said.
This doesnt call for a prison type of
sentence, but we will learn more.
McDaniel is set for preliminary
hearing Wednesday, Aug. 26.
Embezzlement of public funds can
only be charged as a felony, according
to a report from the office.
Prior to joining the high school district, McDaniel served as principal of
Sandpiper Elementary School in
Redwood Shores, and later as an
administrator at Ralston Middle
School in the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary School District.
McDaniel was assigned to her post at
El Camino High School last year in the
wake of former principal David Putney

being put on administrative leave, following a wave of allegations he acted

inappropriately toward insubordinates
at the school.
Following her resignation, Jim
Murphy, former principal of Baden
Adult School, finished the end of the
semester before the South San
Francisco Unified School District
Board of Trustees approved in May
assigning Daniel Lunt to the position
for the upcoming school year.
District spokesman Ryan Sebers
said the administration could not provide a comment on the case.
Attorney Eric Hove, who is defending McDaniel, could not be reached for
comment.
McDaniel faces up to four years in
state prison if she is prosecuted to the
fullest extent, said Wagstaffe, but her
career commitment to educating local
children could influence the prosecutions case.
She was really, really liked and
respected. She felt guilty, he said.
But a crime is a crime.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be sensitive to the needs
of those around you. What you consider harmless
irtation will be easily misinterpreted. Take precautions
to avoid sending the wrong signals.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Shake up your routine
a little. Plan a day trip. The change of scenery will be
inspiring, and its likely that you will meet new and
interesting people along the way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Charity begins at home.
An older relative is in need of your assistance. Your
generosity will be rewarded and your sense of pride

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Physical activity will

help get you up and out of a slump. Stewing about past
disappointments will lead to depression and a lack of
productivity. Get moving.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Eating healthy
and maintaining an exercise regimen will help
you face your day-to-day trials. Fast food and an
indulgent lifestyle will not get you closer to a higher
standard of living.

incorporate an enjoyable activity into your life. Its
possible to turn a fun hobby into a moneymaker. Follow
through with your plans.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Being too demanding
or pushy will not help you gain ground with friends or

relatives. Compromise and a willingness to step aside

once in a while will help everything run smoothly.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you are unsure of
the future, look into the past. Fascinating tidbits of
information can be gained through discussions with

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you have been
careless with your spending habits, now is the time to
rectify the situation. Keep meticulous records of your
expenditures in order to nd a way to cut corners.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Accept social

Afghan military helicopter crashes, kills 17

By Lynne ODonnell and Amir Shah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan An Afghan

military helicopter crashed in a remote
region of the southern Zabul province
on Thursday, killing 17 people on
board 12 soldiers and five crew
members, officials said.
President Ashraf Ghani offered his
condolences to the families of those
killed, while the Taliban claimed they
had shot down the aircraft.
In the capital Kabul, a suicide car
bomb exploded in a residential area
near a government complex early
Friday, killing four people and wounding dozens of others, an Afghan health
ministry spokesman said.
Provincial police chief Mirwais
Noorzai said the cause of the helicopter crash was not yet known and was
under investigation. The Defense
Ministry said the crash appeared to
have been caused by a technical problem, without elaborating.
Afzal Aman, the Defense Ministrys
chief of operations, described it as
the worst calamity to hit the air
force. He confirmed the casualty figure, and said the dead included a unit
commander and 11 soldiers, as well as
the crew.
The Afghan military has been fighting the Taliban-led insurgency alone
since U.S. and NATO forces concluded
their combat mission at the end of last
year, shifting to a support and training
role instead.
Aman said the helicopter was a
Russian-made M-17, and was flying
between Zabuls capital of Qalat and
the town of Shinkay, 20 kilometers
(12 miles) away.
The Taliban statement, posted on
their website, said the helicopter was
shot down with a rocket launcher.

Afghan security forces keep watch after a suicide attack in Logar province,
Afghanistan.
The claim was impossible to verify
and the insurgents regularly exaggerate their battlefield gains.
Meanwhile, in eastern Logar
province, a suicide bomber driving an
explosives-laden truck detonated his
payload outside provincial government offices, killing eight people and
wounding another 12.
Din
Mohammad
Darwish,
spokesman for the governor of Logar
province, near Kabul, said the dead
from Thursdays attack included three
police officers and five civilians. Five
police were among the wounded.
The massive blast, in the provincial
capital of Puli Alam, blew out windows
in buildings 500 meters (1,600 feet)
away, he said.
The Taliban also claimed responsibility for that attack, saying in a statement that they targeted military and
paramilitary units.
The Taliban have been in turmoil

following confirmation of the death of

their leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar.
Afghan authorities say he died in a
Pakistani hospital more than two
years ago.
In Kandahar city, meanwhile, two
police stations came under attack from
gunmen wearing suicide vests, according to officials.
Rahmatullah Atrafi, the provinces
deputy police chief, said two police
officers died while five attackers were
killed.
The Taliban claimed responsibility
for the Kandahar attack as well.
Wahidullha Mayar, spokesman for
the Health Ministry, said 147 people
were wounded including 10 children in
the car bomb attack in Kabul. The
explosion took place in a residential
area next to a government complex.
Dr. Fida Mohammad in the emergency unit of Ibnisina Hospital said
the bomb injured at least 20 women.

Egypt unveils Suez Canal
extension with pomp-filled ceremony
ISMAILIA, Egypt In a defining moment of his young
presidency, Egypts Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi presided Thursday
over the unveiling of a major extension of the Suez Canal
that he hailed as a historic feat needed to revive the countrys ailing economy after years of unrest.
Upbeat and clearly relishing the pomp-filled occasion,
el-Sissi nevertheless conceded that the $8.5 billion project
will not bring a quick economic windfall to a country roiled
by violence and unrest since 2011. Its completion, he said,
was but the first of a 1,000-step journey Egyptians must
take toward economic recovery.
Egyptians have made a huge effort so as to give humanity this gift for development and construction, el-Sissi
said, his words interrupted at times by the horns of container ships using the new extension a sound that
brought a smile to his face and cheers from those in attendance
The magnitude of the project, its completion on schedule
13 months into his presidency and the large high-level foreign representation at its unveiling were likely to bolster
el-Sissis already high standing among many Egyptians
pushing aside, at least for a time, his reputation as an
authoritarian leader with little regard for human rights or
liberties.

Islamic State affiliate claims

responsibility for Saudi police bombing
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia An allegedly new Islamic State
affiliate in Saudi Arabia claimed responsibility for a suicide
bombing at a mosque inside a police compound in the countrys southwest on Thursday that killed at least 15 people,
most of them members and recruits of the kingdoms special
forces.
It was the deadliest attack against Saudi security personnel in years and one that is likely to pull the kingdom deeper into the regional war with IS extremists.
The blast took place in an Interior Ministry compound in
the city of Abha, the provincial capital of Asir, which lies
along the border with war-torn Yemen. The troops killed
were members of an elite counter-terrorism force.
The attack was stunning in its timing and target, coming
just weeks after the Saudi Interior Ministry announced the
arrest of more than 400 suspects in an anti-terrorism sweep.
In April, they announced the arrest of more than 90 suspects.
