High-speed rail considers committing to Caltrain

State authority to vote on $713M for electrification, $84M for San Mateo
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Peninsula could receive a big

boost in state funding as the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
considers committing nearly $800
million to electrify the Caltrain line
and provide three new grade separations in San Mateo.
On Tuesday, the authority is slated to
consider formalizing its commitments
to the local transit agency by provid-

ing $713 million toward the Peninsula

Corridor Electrification Project, as
well as $84 million to the city of San
Mateo.
Caltrain and high-speed rail have
been intertwined since the two decided
to share nearly 51 miles of tracks
between San Jose and San Francisco.
Known as the blended system, electrification is the linchpin in high-speed
rails ability to one day traverse the
Peninsula corridor. Vice versa, state
funding is necessary to electrification

becoming a reality.
Were very excited about it and very
committed to both projects, said Ben
Tripousis, northern regional director
with the High-Speed Rail Authority.
Certainly on the Caltrain electrification program, weve been partnering
with Caltrain for several years now
[and] weve been working on, in many
ways, getting to this point.
Electrification is the foundation for

The 19 were hospitalized Sunday, but
all of them were released by Monday.
The unit is interviewing people to
see if the candies were intentionally
placed at the party to target children,
which would be a serious crime, officer
Grace Gatpandan said at a news conference.
But she said there could have been
various ways the candies could have
ended up at the San Francisco quinceanara, a traditional 15th birthday party.
We dont want to rush the assumption that this was an intentional act,
Gatpandan said.

Thirteen of the patients were 18 or

Police did not name the Oakland

The prices of the candies vary widely, but they typically can be bought
for about $25 for a pack of 10.
Dr. Craig Smollin, co-director of the
San Francisco branch of the California
Poison Control Center, said ingesting
edibles is not fatal.
Authorities are concerned about
making sure marijuana edibles that are

Shuttles to access parks

By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In an effort to increase park access to

communities that lack them, the county will
provide free weekend shuttles starting next
month to Edgewood and Wunderlich parks.
The program starts next month and is
available to residents in East Palo Alto,
eastern Menlo Park and North Fair Oaks.
Some communities are park poor with
very few acres per resident. Its hard to create green space in dense urban areas, said
Marlene Finley, director of the San Mateo
County Parks Department.
The two shuttles will give residents without vehicles a chance to explore, she said.
Public transportation is also lacking to
some of the countys pristine parks.
The department operates 20 separate
parks, totaling more than 17,000 acres and
190 miles of county and local trails, including three regional trails.
One of the weekend shuttles will serve the
remote Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve,

famous for its displays of wildflowers each

spring and located east of Interstate 280 via
Edgewood Road.
It has 467 acres of woodlands and grasslands with hiking trails with sweeping
views, according to the parks department.
It is home to 10 rare or endangered plant
species including the San Mateo
Thornmint. Deer, coyote, bobcat, skunks,
rattlesnakes and raccoons also call the park
home.
A second shuttle will service Wunderlich
Park, which is a mostly wild hillside area of
redwood forest and open meadows. A large
system of trails caters to hikers and many
are also open to horses. The century-old
Folger Stable is located near the front
entrance. It is located off Woodside Road in
Woodside.
Originally belonging to the Folger family, of Folgers Coffee fame, the estate was
used as a warm country getaway from San
Franciscos cold summers, according to the
parks department. In 2010, the Folger
Stable and surrounding buildings opened to

the public after extensive renovations.

Wunderlich comprises 942 acres of steep
mixed forest and meadowland. It features
boarding stables, riding facilities and a
horse ring that was the Folger Ranch complex.
It also has an open meadow midway up the
slope of the park.
The parks department plans to also provide programming to those who access the
two parks by shuttle, Finley said.
Self-guided trails are planned and guided
walks and talks are also planned, she said.
The department is hiring greeters and will
provide pop-up tents on weekends for orientation.
Finley hopes the shuttles will attract seniors and children to the parks who otherwise
could not access them.
Its a two-year pilot that will start Sept.
10 and run through Aug. 31, 2018.
Tuesday, the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors is set to approve a $252,000
contract with MV Transportation to provide
the two shuttles.

Police search for witnesses in fatal shooting

By Sara Gaiser
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Investigators are searching for possible

witnesses to the fatal shooting of a man who
was playing the popular Pokemon Go
smartphone game at San Franciscos Aquatic
Park over the weekend.
San Mateo resident Calvin Riley was found
suffering a gunshot wound to his torso shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday at Aquatic Park

Massachusetts, and graduated from Junipero
Serra High School in San Mateo in 2015, the
school confirmed.
Since then, he attended San Joaquin Delta
College, where he played for the schools

baseball team, according to the school. In

addition to his parents, he leaves behind a
younger brother and sister.
A cousin from Massachusetts, Gabriel
Antonio Morales, set up a GoFundMe page to

this afternoon.

in San Bernardino county near Hesperia.

Seven square miles burn in

latest big California wildfire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CRESTLINE Smoke plumes roiling

from flaming ridges of the San Bernardino
Mountains blew all the way across the
Mojave Desert to Las Vegas as Californias
latest big wildfire chewed through timber
and brush Monday.
Hundreds of firefighters, aided by 16 aircraft, battled flames that spread across 7
square miles on the northern side of the
rugged mountain range east of Los Angeles.
Dozens of homes were ordered evacuated,
and authorities recommended voluntary
evacuations for more than 5,000.
Helicopters sucked loads of water from
nearby Silverwood Lake to douse flames
leaping across slopes. Air tankers swooped
low to paint the dry vegetation with pink
fire retardant.
The fire, which erupted for an unknown
reason Sunday, was just 5 percent contained.
Across the Mojave, officials in southern
Nevada issued an air quality advisory
because of smoke from the fire more than
200 miles away.
The Clark County Department of Air
Quality said the air was unhealthy for sensitive groups, including young children, senior citizens and people with respiratory

problems and cardiac disease.

Like some of the states other fires this
summer, the blaze burned near a popular
recreation area. But Silverwood Lakes
waters had been closed to swimming, fishing and boating since Aug. 4 because of an
algae bloom.
On the central coast, meanwhile,

than 94 square miles north of scenic Big Sur.
An army of more than 5,000 firefighters
and an air force of tankers and helicopters
made progress, however, surrounding 45
percent of the 18-day-old blaze.
Firefighters set fires to burn out vegetation between the main body of the fire and
prepared control lines.
Long-suffering residents of Palo Colorado
who had been under evacuation orders since
late July were finally being allowed to
return. Some evacuation orders remained in
place, while others were reduced to warnings.
Five state parks on Highway 1 between
San Francisco and Los Angeles remained
closed.
The fire, which has destroyed 57 homes,
damaged three others and led to the death of
a bulldozer operator in an accident, was
caused by an illegal campfire.

Hillary Clinton
attacks Trumps
economic plan
By Cathereine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KISSIMMEE, Fla. Hillary

Clinton offered a simple reply to
Donald Trumps economic address
Monday: Dont let a friend vote
Trump.
At a rally in St. Petersburg,
Florida, Clinton said the plans
Trump outlined earlier in Detroit
would push the country back into
recession, warning that his plans
benefit the rich and do little to create jobs or boost the economy.
His tax plans would give super
big tax breaks to large corporations and the really wealthy,
Clinton said, characterizing the
proposals, which include substantial tax cuts, as trickle-down economics.

hotel on the site, marking potentially another keystone project for
the ongoing rejuvenation effort
surrounding Grand Avenue.
Alex Greenwood, the citys director of Economic and Community
Development, said he believed the
hotel and condominium projects
could be the best fit for the site.
Both projects have their advantages, both would be extraordinarily positive outcomes for the downtown, he said. Both would
advance our goal of enhancing the
citys economic vitality.
Officials are slated to address a
narrowed list of potential projects
proposed by interested development companies, according to a
city report.
Rahm Investments, of Texas,
submitted a proposal to build a

You know that old saying: Fool

me once, shame on you, fool me
twice, shame on me, she said.
Clinton countered with her own
economic proposals, saying she
wants to invest in public works
projects and more educational
opportunities and will tax top
earners to pay for her plans. She is
expected to speak to the Detroit
Economic Club on Thursday.
I have said throughout this campaign I am not going to raise the
taxes on the middle class, but with
your help we are going to raise it
on the wealthy, said Clinton.
At a rally later in the day in
Kissimmee, Florida, Clinton continued her criticism, saying that
Trump hasnt offered any plans on
infrastructure besides building a
wall and having Mexico pay for

it. She also stressed her commitment to small businesses, asking

would you rather have a president
who says youre fired or youre
hired?
Earlier Monday, Clinton toured a
brewery as a way of highlighting
her commitment to small businesses. She plans to campaign in

Miami Tuesday, as part of a twoday tour through battleground

Florida, home of 29 electoral
votes.
Clinton is focusing on jobs and
the economy at campaign events.
Aides say they hope to build on
polls showing Clinton gaining
ground on economic issues, which

have made up the core of Trumps

campaign message.

hotel spreading 175 rooms over

six floors in a 70-foot building
with between 115 and 125 parking
spaces, according to the report.
The hotel would reserve half of
the rooms for extended stays, and
the facility would also include a
meeting area for 200 people as well
as a business center and indoor
pool.
Such a project could be relatively
unique to South San Francisco,
Greenwood said, as there are not
many similar developments downtown.
If you have people staying in a
high-quality hotel downtown, they
will be shopping and eating in
downtown, he said. We are finding a lot of people love to stay in
South San Francisco, but all our
hotels are on the other side of the
highway.
Tourists staying overnight at
local hotels has been a boon for
the South San Franciscos budget
in recent years, as revenue generat-

ed by transient occupancy tax has

reached record levels and continues
to climb, primarily due to the citys
proximity to San Francisco
International Airport.
The city collected $13 million in
hotel tax last year, up from the $12
million taken in the year prior,
which had marked the most ever
received through the tourism industry.
Another company, Proferian, had
expressed interest in building a
boutique hotel at the Linden site as
well, but the development team
withdrew its application, according to the report.
Officials are focused on breathing new life into downtown South
San Francisco, under a plan
approved last year by the council
designed to facilitate construction
of new jobs, homes and other
developments easily accessible
from the citys Caltrain station.
Beyond interest in building a
hotel, a Chinese development

company has also applied to build

87 condominium units spread
across a 65-foot building, above a
ground floor retail space, according to the report.
The applicant, Qingdao Hisense
Real Estate Company, has an
extensive portfolio of residential
projects in China, but the firm has
yet to complete a U.S. project,
according to the report.
BayRock Multifamily, a housing
development company from
Oakland, has applied to build a luxury apartment complex at the site.
The applicant expressed interest
in building approximately 80
units, each roughly 950 square feet,
in a 65-foot tower. The project
would also set aside 6,000 square
feet for retail uses, and could
include an outdoor plaza as well as
fitness and meeting rooms.
Should officials opt to pursue
housing at the site, the project
would join other similar near by
residential developments in the
works such as a 260-unit upscale

apartment complex to be built by

Sares Regis and an 81-unit affordable housing building for seniors
also proposed on the outskirts of
downtown. DNA Design and
Architecture recently proposed
building an apartment holding
roughly 100 units at 150 S. Airport
Blvd. as well.
In all, the city has about 500
units of housing in the works
toward construction, officials have
said, in an attempt to help address
the regional housing crunch.
As officials approach considering the projects standing to breath
new life into downtown South San
Francisco, Greenwood said he was
excited to see the project move
ahead.
We are thrilled to reach this
point in the process, he said.
The joint housing standing committee of the City Council and the
Planning Commission meets 6:30
p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10, in the
Municipal Services Building, 33
Arroyo Drive.

Trump critics urge RNC to replace Trump in special meeting

By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Desperate conservatives have circulated a petition calling for the Republican
National Committee to host a special meeting where Donald Trump
could be replaced as the partys
presidential nominee.
Organizers some of the same
Republicans who tried to prevent
Trump from winning the GOP nomination acknowledge the effort
is a long shot at best. But fearing
an Election Day disaster, they have
appealed to RNC members across
the nation in recent days to intervene.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, Regina Thomson,

executive director of a political
action committee known as the
GOP Accountability Project, wrote
in an e-mail distributed to RNC
members over the weekend and
obtained by the Associated Press.
Donald J. Trump is a disaster,
Thomson wrote, attaching a copy
of the petition in the message.
His post-convention behavior
has been deplorable.
Trump has worried many leading
Republicans in recent weeks with a
string of controversies and fights,
notably with the Muslim American
parents of an Army captain killed
in Iraq and prominent Republicans

up for re-election. Trump reversed

course and ended up endorsing
House Speaker Paul Ryan of
Wisconsin and Sens. John McCain
of Arizona and Kelly Ayotte of New
Hampshire.
Still, Thomson and other antiTrump Republicans are concerned.
Party rules allow RNC members
to replace a presidential nominee
in the event of death, declination,
or otherwise language Trump
critics say allows for his replacement soon after he formally captured his partys presidential nomination at the national convention.
To force a meeting to discuss
Trumps ouster, however, organizers must submit signatures by at

least 16 RNC members from 16

states.
Should they do so, GOP chairman
Reince Priebus has 10 to 20 days to
convene the full, 168-member
Republican National Committee.
This is the same story over and
over again, said RNC spokesman
Sean Spicer, dismissing the latest
effort. He suggested that the Trump
rebels have a credibility problem
after repeated failed attempts to
block Trumps nomination at the
convention.
Even after Trump ended his feud
by endorsing Ryan last Friday
night, a fresh wave of Republican
operatives and even a handful of
elected officials vowed to vote

for someone else or even leave the

GOP altogether.
Were concerned hes on a path
to destruction and were trying to
avert that, Thomson said in a
Monday interview.
The Colorado Republican, the
former state chairwoman for Texas
Sen. Ted Cruzs presidential campaign, said she has received verbal
commitments from party officials
willing to sign the petition, but
declined to say how many or who
they are.
Several RNC members, reached
by the AP on Monday, acknowledged deep frustration with Trumps
candidacy, but said they would not
sign the petition.

Donald Trump tries to right

campaign, talks of tax cuts
By Jill Colvin and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Promising to jumpstart America to a new era of prosperity, Donald Trump announced a
revamped economic plan Monday
aimed at revitalizing a stagnant U.S.
economy by cutting taxes for workers
and businesses. He assailed Hillary
Clinton as a candidate who would merely extend a Democratic period of old
ideas and weakness.
Trying to move past recent stumbles,
Trump proposed a simplified threebracket income tax system that hewed
closely to what House Republicans
have recommended, the latest indication the GOP presidential nominee is
working to put infighting with his
partys leaders behind him. In a shift
from the plan he proposed during the
primary season, he increased the tax
rate
that
the
highest-earning
Americans would pay.
With few exceptions, Trump provid-

ed more of a philosophical basis for an

economic plan than a series of
specifics.
He did spell out proposed tax brackets and called for greater child care
deductions for families.
As he called for urgent change away
from Democratic policies, he envisioned a nation refocused on manufacturing at home and wary of trade deals
abroad a country bearing little
resemblance to the globally focused
economy of recent years.
Americanism, not globalism, will
be our new credo, he said in his address
at the Detroit Economic Club. Our
country will reach amazing new
heights maybe heights never
attained before.
Delivering his speech from a
teleprompter, Trump was interrupted
repeatedly by protesters who stood on
chairs and shouted at him before being
pulled out of the room by security
guards. He did not react harshly as he
often has in the past, either quietly

thanking the guards or simply powering ahead in his speech.

Only days ago, Trump triggered
panic within the GOP when he declined
to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryans
re-election or that of other leading
Republicans. He sought to put the dustup to bed Friday by finally backing
those candidates while also trying to
move past other controversies like his
verbal attacks on a Muslim-American
family whose son died fighting in Iraq.
Republicans inside and outside of
Trumps campaign have implored him
to shift the conversation back to
Democrat Clintons perceived shortcomings. On Monday, he obliged,
accusing her of jilting American workers and coming up short on promises to
constituents.
The one common feature of every
Hillary Clinton idea is that it punishes
you for working and doing business in
the United States, Trump said. He said
he wants to jump-start America and
added, It wont even be that hard.

NEW YORK Republican Donald Trump is suggesting

that rival Hillary Clintons emails may be responsible for
the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed
for spying for the United States.
Clintons campaign says hes making up those people.
Hours after an unusually disciplined speech on his economic plan for the country, Trump, using the people are
saying sentence structure he often favors to make accusations, tweeted Monday night:
Many people are saying that the Iranians killed the scientist who helped the U.S. because of Hillary Clintons
hacked emails.
He didnt say which people he meant. The FBI has said
there is no evidence that Clintons emails were hacked due
to her use of a private account and server during her tenure
as secretary of state.
Tweeted back Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill:
Many people are saying(equals)I made this up.
Merrill added that after Trumps morning speaking to the
Detroit Economic Club and sticking closely to his script,
the muzzle was bound to come off.
Trumps speech was designed in part to reassure
Republicans unnerved by a disastrous week of self-inflicted
feuds with an assortment of people, from grieving Muslim
American parents to the leaders of Trumps own party.
Clintons campaign cast his tweet Monday night as evidence that, in the words of spokesman Josh Schwerin,
Theres just no resetting Donald Trump.
Trump isnt the first to suggest there could be a link
between Clntons emails on her private server and the execution of Shahram Amiri.
Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said on CBSs
Face the Nation Sunday that there were on Hillary
Clintons private server, there were conversations among
her senior advisers about this gentleman.
That goes to show just how reckless and careless her
decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server, he said.
Amiri, an Iranian scientist, defected to the U.S. at the
height of Western efforts to thwart Irans nuclear program.
When he returned in 2010, he was given a heros welcome
and greeted with flowers by government leaders. Then he
mysteriously disappeared.
Amiris case indirectly found its way into the spotlight
last year with the release of State Department emails sent
and received by Clinton.
One email forwarded to Clinton by senior adviser Jake
Sullivan on July 5, 2010 just 10 days before Amiri
returned to Tehran appears to reference the scientist.
We have a diplomatic, psychological issue, not a legal
one. Our friend has to be given a way out, the email by
Richard Morningstar, a former State Department special
envoy for Eurasian energy, read. Our person wont be able
to do anything anyway. If he has to leave, so be it.

Poll shows young peoples fear of

white extremism varies by race
By Melinda Deslatte
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BATON ROUGE, La. The

threat of violence by people
inspired by foreign extremists
invokes fear in a majority of
young Americans across racial
groups. But for young people of
color,
particularly
AfricanAmericans, that fear is matched or
surpassed by worries about violence from white extremists.
A new GenForward poll of
Americans age 18-30 shows widespread anxiety among young people about attacks from both inside
and outside the United States.
Sixty-two percent of young
African-Americans and 55 percent
of Hispanics surveyed said they
were very concerned about the
threat of violence committed by
white extremists, compared to
one-third of whites and 41 percent
of Asian-Americans.
GenForward is a survey by the
Black Youth Project at the
University of Chicago with the
Associated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research. The poll
is designed to pay special attention to the voices of young adults
of color, highlighting how race
and ethnicity shape the opinions
of a new generation.
Gregg Higgins, 27, was one of
the whites who said he was very
worried about violence by extrem-

ists in his own race. In fact, he

said he was more concerned about
the homegrown white extremists than the threat of violence
from people outside the United
States or people inspired by foreign extremists.
A social worker in Pittsburgh,
Higgins said the growing political
tension during the current election
cycle has shown a really ugly part
of our past coming through and
being more heard. He described it
as white males who are angry and
who arent now afraid to show that
anger.
That fear of loss of control and
loss of privilege is whats inspiring this vitriol and this hate,
Higgins said.
Worry about attacks from people
currently living in the U.S. who
are motivated by foreign extremists spreads more evenly across
racial groups, with at least half of
whites, blacks, Asians and
Hispanics describing themselves
as very concerned about that
threat.
Violence committed by people
from outside the country also
caused unease, especially among
Hispanic young adults. Fifty-six
percent of Hispanics polled said
they were very concerned, compared to 49 percent of AfricanAmericans, 40 percent of AsianAmericans and 41 percent of
whites.

Cars travel through a flooded street as Mexicos Baja California peninsula braced for tropical storm Javier in
Mazatlan, Mexico.

Storm aims for Mexicos Baja;

45 dead from earlier storm
By Ignacio Martinez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico

Tropical Storm Javier pushed
closer to the resort city of Cabo
San Lucas on the tip of Mexicos
Baja California Peninsula on
Monday as the death toll from
former Hurricane Earl rose to 45
in the countrys eastern mountains.
Communities in two states were
digging out from weekend mudslides during heavy rains brought
by remnants of Earl, which hit
Mexicos Gulf coast as a tropical
storm. Three more bodies were
found amid the mud and floodwaters in central Puebla state, bringing the toll there to 32. Two more
dead were found in neighboring
Veracruz, raising the death toll in
that state to 13.

Javier was expected to stay

slightly out to sea as it passed by
Cabo San Lucas late Monday or
early Tuesday, and continue on a
more northerly track, raking the
Pacific coast of the Baja peninsula.
Javier was centered about 55
miles (90 kilometers) southeast
of Cabo San Lucas at midday, with
maximum sustained winds of 50
mph (85 kph), according to the
U.S. National Hurricane Center.
The center said heavy rains were
starting to spread over southern
Baja California.
Javier was moving northwest at
about 10 mph (17 kph) on a path
that could brush land around
Puerto San Carlos, farther up the
peninsula, on Wednesday, and
again around Laguna San Ignacio
later in the week.
Authorities in Cabo San Lucas

prepared 10 storm shelters, mostly at local schools, for families

who live in low-lying areas. The
resort was closed to navigation,
and some owners of smaller fishing boats could be seen pulling
them onto shore and hauling
them away on trailers.
A tropical storm warning was in
effect for the southern part of Baja
California.
Among the casualties of Earl
were at least 32 people killed in
multiple mudslides in the mountainous north of Puebla state,
state Interior Secretary Diodoro
Carrasco said. He said rain
amounts equivalent to an entire
month of normal precipitation
fell in one night in some areas.
Of the victims, 25 were killed
in different parts of the township
of Huauchinango and three died in
the hamlet of Tlaola.

My survey results on Belmonts zoning changes

By Coralin Feierbach

s a former 15+ year member

of the Belmont City Council,
and having been against the
current council loosening of our zoning ordinances (increasing maximum
house and secondary unit sizes), I really wanted to see how a portion of
Belmont residents felt. Through the
years, I had collected a considerable
number of email addresses, comprised
of people who were not necessarily
supporters of mine.
I sent out my survey not really
knowing how the recipients would
respond. Even though this was not a
scientic survey, it gave some indication of how people felt. The list started with 701 email addresses. A surprising 228 (33 percent) responded to
date, and 128 respondents commented
on these changes.
The rst question was: The average
Belmont house is 2,350 square feet.
Current zoning allows for a maximum
of 3,500-square-foot house (with few
exceptions). [The City] Council wants
to potentially raise this to a maximum
of 5,000 square feet, over double the
average current home size. [The] city
already has an exception process that
allows a larger house if there is no
impact to neighbors views, privacy
and compatibility.
Do you agree that the maximum
house size should be kept at 3,500
square feet?
Responses: Yes: 176 (78 percent
agree), No: 51 (22 percent disagree)
My second question was: Most of
the mid-peninsula cities cap their secondary units (rental, in-law, etc.) at
640 square feet (with limited exceptions). [The City] council wants to
allow up to a 1,000-square-foot unit,
comparable to a small house, in addition to the main house.
Do you agree that secondary units

should be kept at
640 square feet?
Responses: Yes:
163 (72 percent
agree), No: 63 (28
percent disagree)
Some comments
on maximum house
size were:
Belmonts character will be dramatically changed
from reasonably sized houses that
(mostly) blend with the surroundings
to showier McMansions which might
tower over their neighbors. Extralarge, 5,000 square-foot homes belong
in Hillsborough or in Atherton.
Thirty-ve-hundred square feet is
way more than enough, particularly
when there is an exception process.
The size should depend on each
individual. If a lot has room and doesnt impact the view of any neighbor,
or intrude on any neighbor it can be
whatever the owners can afford.
The real problem is parking. Larger
houses, mean more occupants and
more parked cars. ... Additionally larger houses simply get (illegally) split
into duplexes, meaning more and more
people.
There are few lots that are adequate
for that size home and provide for
parking. I can also see it resulting in a
re hazard similar to Oakland Hills
with more cars crowding narrow
streets.
Let those who can afford more
enjoy investing in Belmont! Belmont
needs diversity in our city!!
It could be higher if the lot allows
it and does not impact neighbors view,
etc.
Raising the oor cap to 5,000
square feet means neighbors views
and privacy will no longer be respected! Better to keep the maximum at
3,500 square feet and ask for a oor
area exception if warranted.
Some comments on secondary unit

Guest
perspective
size were:
Six-hundred-and-forty square feet is
plenty large enough for an in-law unit.
Any larger will surely become a rental
at some point.
Anything over the current limit is
essentially another house.
If it ts on lot why shouldnt it be
allowed. People keep complaining
about lack of housing.
There is no need for this in
Belmont, 650 is ample for one to two
people, 1,000 was the average size of
the main house when most of Belmont
was built. This is essentially two main
houses.
I think the secondary could go a bit
higher than 640 square feet, but
depending on overall lot size for a
smaller lot, 640 may be a good max.
One-thousand-square-foot secondary unit is too large and will only
encourage Airbnb-type businesses to
ourish all over Belmont creating
street parking, trafc, overcrowded
classrooms and strains on services and
infrastructure.
In conclusion, the Belmont City
Council will be considering these
changes in the next few months. Its
decision will affect all of us one way or
another, be it trafc, parking, school
enrollment, air quality, infrastructure
or neighbors views and privacy. This
is too important for any ve-member
council to decide. Voters should have
the right to determine what maximum
home size and maximum secondary
unit size are appropriate for Belmont.

False and absurd claims
Editor,
In a letter that appeared in the Aug.
3 edition of the Daily Journal, Paul
Tappan made a number of false and
absurd claims about the proposed rent
stabilization ordinance for San Mateo
and the signature-gathering effort
associated with it.
He claimed that it would hurt homeowners. The reality is that this measure specically excludes single-family homes and condominiums from all
coverages. Mr. Tappan claimedthat
the ordinance will discourage people
from wanting to purchase here. Does
he not know that the market for all
types of residential property in San
Francisco and San Jose both of
which have had rent stabilization for
years are doing just ne? Finally,

he claims that the signature gathering

was done by paid people from outside
the county. In the nal days of the
effort, there were about ve people
who were paid to gather signatures to
help close the gap on the target goal
of 11,000. But there were nearly 200
volunteers working alongside them.
I am a school teacher in the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District and I was one of these volunteers. I spent countless hours working for this effort. Mr. Tappan claims
that the support for this measure
and the effort that went into it are
not local. This is the biggest absurdity of all.

Editor,
In the Aug. 1 edition of the San
Mateo Daily Journal, I read on page
nine two columns that I enjoy by two
writers who I have always admired for
their intelligence.
I agree with Quentin Kopp that the
county should keep the private
defender program to provide defense
lawyers for people who are charged
with a crime, but the cant afford an
attorney.
I always enjoy the variety of subjects that Sue Lempert writes about.

Two good
opinion pieces

Stuck in the zone

I

magine, if you will, a democracy where your voice

doesnt count, where regional unelected bureaucrats
make decisions for you, and where your city is shaped
by Sacramento and not your city council. You are traveling
through another dimension, a dimension not of responsible citizens but of faceless bureaucratic control. A journey
into a land restricted on all sides. Your next stop, the Plan
Bay Area zone.
Thats right; when it comes to the shape of your city,
development, roads, density, land use and other decisions
about the quality of your life, your voice no longer counts.
Instead, an unelected regional bureaucracy is in charge. Its
an eye-glazing, alphabet soup of government agencies
designed with one thing in mind take control over cities
and towns.
Their mandates arent secret;
in fact, they are laid out in
glossy publications available
from the Plan Bay Area website.
However, what is described with
beautiful pictures of smiling
people and sweeping vistas is a
one-size-ts-all mandate that
demands that Menlo Park,
Millbrae, Milpitas and Mill
Valley look the same, local residents be damned.
Plan Bay Area is the spawn of
John McDowell
Assembly Bill 32 and Senate
Bill 375, which mandate super regional planning agencies
draw up plans to reduce so-called greenhouse gasses. The
result is that Association of Bay Area Governments, the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District and the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission now decide how you and
your family will live, travel and in some cases, work.
Youve noticed the rampant building of high-density
buildings in downtown areas of our countys suburban
cities. Moreover, youve noticed the massive increase in
local trafc generated by these stack and pack, out of
local character monstrosities. What you may not have
noticed is that Plan Bay Area mandates this type of building, irrespective of what the citizens of our towns want to
see built.
Thats because Plan Bay Area lays out what can and cannot be built and where that building must occur. The glossy
brochures make that plain to those who take the time to
read them. Essentially, the plan divides the nine Bay Area
counties into Priority Development Areas, or PDAs, and
Priority Conservation Areas, or PCAs.
The plan mandates that development take place in the
narrowly prescribed PDAs, which include city centers,
mixed-use corridors and transit town centers. In San Mateo
County, that means a narrow strip around El Camino Real
and the Caltrain tracks will be expected to absorb almost
94,000 new households in the next 25 years. No wonder
they are stack and pack.
The rest of the county, and approximately 95 percent of
all land outside of the transit corridors in the Bay Area, is
designated as a PCA. This means it is policy protected
and only a limited number of uses allowed.
We expect that local citizens will be able to make decisions about the shape of their cities, land use and development. Unfortunately, thats no longer true. Due to the laws
implemented by Sacramento politicians, bureaucrats who
are far away from where we live and work now make these
decisions.
Take the MTC, the agency that decides where roads will
be built, which ones are allowed to be repaired, and whether
you should pay tolls on roads your taxes have already built.
Included on its board is one, and only one, representative
of the citizens of San Mateo County. Thats the same voice
as a federal government agency (U.S. Department of
Transportation) and only half that as the collection of local
government agencies (ABAG and BCDC).
A dedicated group of citizens is pushing back against this
regional, bureaucratic overreach. They call themselves the
Nine County Coalition; their website explains they are an
informal diverse assemblage of ordinary citizens who
share a mission to oppose the relentless trend towards the
governance by bureaucrats that obliterates the government
[by citizens] so that, regional challenges can be met
without abdication of our constitutional right to vote in or
out the ofcials who make decisions for us.
We are living in a world that is far away from that of citizen control and responsibility for local decisions.
Fortunately, there is a way out. This November, ask your
city council candidates where they stand on retaking control over our lives. Listen carefully to their answers, then
decide if they are willing to stand up to the regional bureaucrats, or if theyre stuck in another dimension, that of the
Plan Bay Area zone.

Stock indexes close slightly lower; oil rises

By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A mostly listless day of trading

left U. S. stock indexes little
changed Monday, hovering just
below the record highs they set
late last week.
Drug company and consumerfocused stocks weighed on the
market, while energy companies
surged, getting a lift from a pickup
in crude oil prices.
The slight pullback came as
investors took advantage of the
milestones reached Friday by the
Standard & Poors 500 index and
Nasdaq composite to pocket some
gains. Strong U.S. jobs data left
traders feeling more confident in
the economy heading into this
week.
Its a little bit of profit-taking, said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. Were coming off a good employment number and we know the consumers
been strong.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 14.24 points, or 0.1
percent, to 18,529.29. The S&P

0. 1 percent, to 2, 180. 89. The

Nasdaq shed 7.98 points, or 0.2

The stock market hit record

Department said U.S. employers
added 255,000 jobs in July far
more than investors expected. The
hiring spree, which followed an
even bigger surge in June, gave
investors more confidence that
the economy is still growing.

Wal-Mart buying Jet.com

By Anne dInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Wal-Mart is buying fast-growing online retailer

Jet.com for $3 billion in cash
plus $300 million in stock,
scooping up a newcomer that
launched a year ago with the
intention of challenging online
leader Amazon.
The hefty price underscores how
Wal-Mart is trying to compete
more aggressively and effectively
for younger and more affluent customers as it has seen its online
business growth slow, even with
big investments in distribution
centers and expanding services.
As part of the deal, Jet. com
cofounder and CEO Marc Lore will
oversee both that site and walmart.com, and will report to Wal-

Doug McMillon. Lore brings to
the role a rich e-commerce resume
as founder of Quidsi, the parent of
Diapers.com, which was bought
by Amazon for $500 million in
2010.
Analysts say the acquisition
still wont enable Wal-Mart to
catch up to Amazon in sales, but it
will help narrow that gap and
should widen the distance between
Wal-Mart and other online retailers. The deal also reflects the difficulties for startups like Jet.com of
making it on their own in a sphere
Amazon dominates with its network of distribution hubs and the
powerful asset of its Prime membership program.
The move follows a series of
acquisitions by major traditional
retailers of online startups, with

Hudsons Bay, which owns Saks

Fifth Avenue, purchasing flashsales site Gilt Group and Bed,
Bath & Beyond buying One Kings
Lane. While not a startup, WalMart itself announced in June that
it announced it was forming a
partnership with JD.com in China
to bolster its presence in that market.
This acquisition in tandem
with its joint venture in China
with JD.com, demonstrates that
Wal-Mart is attacking online
retail with significant zeal, said
Moodys lead retail analyst
Charlie OShea. As we believe
catching Amazon online is an
unrealistic goal for any brick-andmortar retailer, Wal-Mart now has
a definite leg up on its competitors in the very important race to
be No. 2 online.

Complexity makes airline

computer systems vulnerable
DALLAS Twice in less than a
month, a major airline was paralyzed by a computer outage that
prevented passengers from checking in and flights from taking off.
Last month, it took Southwest
days to recover from a breakdown
it blamed on a faulty router. On
Monday, it was Deltas turn, as a
power outage crippled the airlines
information technology systems
and forced it to cancel or delay
hundreds of flights. Delta employees had to write out boarding passes by hand, and at one airport they
resurrected a dot-matrix printer
from the graveyard of 1980s technology.
Why do these kinds of meltdowns keep happening?
The answer is that airlines
depend on huge, overlapping and
complex IT systems to do just
about everything, from operating

panies higher.
Marathon Oil added 38 cents, or
2. 7 percent, to $14. 25, while
Tesoro rose $2.76, or 3.7 percent,
to $77. 47. Chesapeake Energy
gained 12 cents, or 2.5 percent, to
$5.01.
Benchmark U. S. crude rose
$1.22, or 2.9 percent, to close at
$43.02 per barrel in New York.
Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained $1.12, or 2.5
percent, to close at $45.39 per
barrel in London.
Investors also had their eye on
some corporate deal news.
Wal-Mart Stores slipped 0. 6
percent after the retail giant agreed
to buy fast-growing online retail
newcomer Jet.com for $3 billion
in cash and another $300 million
in stock. The deal underscores how
serious Wal-Mart is about challenging online leader Amazon.

These systems are also being

Crawfords historic seventh hit wins it in 14th for Giants

By Christopher Stock
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Brandon Crawford became the

first major leaguer in 41 years to get seven
hits in a game, finally putting the Giants
ahead to stay with an RBI single in the 14th
inning of an 8-7 victory over the Miami
Marlins on Monday night.

Stennett set a modern-era record by

accomplishing the feat in a nine-inning
game. The only other player to do that was
Wilbert Robinson for the old Baltimore
Orioles of the National League in 1892.
Johnny Burnett holds the major league
mark for an extra-inning game with nine
hits for Cleveland in a 1932 contest that
lasted 18 innings.
George Kontos (3-2) pitched two scoreless innings to earn the victory for the
Giants, who were without manager Bruce

Bochy after he was hospitalized in the

morning with an illness.
The Giants went 6 for 21 with runners in

4.93 seconds. Efimova settled for the silver,
more than a half-second behind. The bronze
went to another American, Katie Meili.
Efimova was booed by many in the crowd
when introduced before the race, though a
smattering of Russian fans cheered her on.
I really dont know how I even reached the
final, Efimova said, her face red from crying. It would have really been the end of a
fairytale, a horrible dream, if Id won gold.
But that was all I could do right now.

y wife and I were watching

Olympic table tennis Sunday
afternoon when she blurted
out, How is Ping-Pong a sport?
After I corrected her, telling her the
politically correct term was table tennis, she asked me what sports should be
in the Olympics.
You may not like the answer. Im of a
notion that only sports in which you
score more points, run faster or jump further should be Olympic sports. Sports
that use judging as a basis of deciding
who wins? Those would be out. So say
goodbye to the glamour sports of gymnastics and diving
in the summer
games, and ice
skating and snowboarding halfpipe
in the winter
games. I dont want
the fate of gold,
silver and bronze
medals based on
something as subjective as someones opinion.
Not that those
arent sports. They
have their own merits and I truly enjoy
many of the sports I propose cutting.
But to me, the essence of sports is
beating the competition one on one
whether its a 100-meter sprinter or a
water polo team. The person who runs
faster than everyone else is the winner.
The team that scores the most goals and
wins the most tournament games takes
home the gold.
So that means baseball and softball are
back in the Olympics after a 12-year hiatus. And even though I love surng and
skateboarding which will both be in
the 2020 Tokyo Games for the rst time
Im sorry, theyre out in my Olympic
Games.

Lilly King swims the 100-meter breaststroke in 1 minute, 4.93 seconds to capture the gold medal for the U.S. Monday in Rio.

King is queened
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO This one will surely

be seen as a victory for clean athletes over
the dopers.
No doubt, that was Lilly Kings take.
The feisty American stared down Yulia
Efimova, a swimmer at the center of Russias
doping scandal, and then beat her in the pool
Monday night.
King could hardly contain her satisfaction
at capturing gold in the 100-meter breaststroke especially given who was in the
next lane.
It just proves you can compete clean and
still come out on top with all the hard work

you put in behind the scenes, behind the

meet, at practice and weight sessions, the
19-year-old Indiana University student said
giddily. There is a way to become the best
and do it the right way.
Efimova arrived in Rio as one of the symbols of the massive Russian doping operation,
an athlete who had already served a 16-month
suspension and tested positive again this year
for the now-banned substance meldonium.
Efimova was initially banned from the
Olympics, but that decision was overturned
on appeal. King took umbrage at Efimovas
No. 1 finger wag during the semifinals, and
the bad blood carried over to the final.
After glaring at Efimova in the ready room
and giving her a look of disdain on deck, King

Karolyi leaves lasting legacy for USA Gymnastics

By Will Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO The Martha Karolyi

Way is a pinch on the neck. A tilt of the head.
A purse of the lips. A nod of approval. A
series of directives, most of them blunt, all
designed for maximum impact.
It is a compound tucked in the Texas woods
where the rest of the world slips away so the
foundation of a gymnastics dynasty can be
laid.
For the last 15 years, the U.S. womens
national team coordinator has methodically
molded a once floundering program into a

globe-trotting, podiumtopping machine. The

group of five young
women Karolyi will lead
into Rio Olympic Arena
on Tuesday night for the
Olympic team final is perhaps her greatest creation, and a fitting tribute
Martha Karolyi to all she has built before
she heads into retirement.
Judging by their showing during qualifying when the U.S. posted the top score by
a staggering 10 points the question may
be not if the Americans will win the gold but

by how much. Yet its in keeping with the

Karolyi Way that all that dominance was met
with only a small smile and a reminder that
their work is not yet finished.
I always tell the girls, were competing
against ourselves, Karolyi, 73, said in her
distinct Eastern European accent. We dont
want to beat this or that. But we want to come
as close as possible to perfection.
No team, perhaps in any sport, comes as
close to it as the U.S. womens program.
Looking back, this is exactly what Martha
and husband Bela Karolyi had in mind when
they defected from Romania in 1981 after
helping Nadia Comaneci reach perfection in

Montreal during the 1976 games.

That was the goal, to build something
which works for USA and not try to install a
copy of the Romanian system, Karolyi said.
I think that was the key because you cannot
copy an original.
Though the Karolyis and USA Gymnastics
enjoyed periods of success in the 1980s and
90s helping Mary Lou Retton become the
first American woman to win the Olympic
title in 1984 and reaching the top of the
podium with the Magnificent Seven in
Atlanta in 1996 it wasnt until Martha

U.S.mens gymnasts settle for fifth place

By Kristie Rieken
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO It was 2012 all over

again for the Americans on Monday in the
Rio Games.
Just as in London, they followed a great
performance in the preliminaries of the team
competition with a terrible start to the finals
and finished fifth.
In a lot of ways, these guys performed better than I feel we did in London, coach Mark
Wiliams said. We fought through everything
and theres no giving up. Gymnastics is hard
and there are a lot of good teams out there on
the mens side.
Four years ago things went wrong when
they started on the pommel horse and two of
them fell. On Monday it was the floor exercise that put the team in a big hole early with
both Alex Naddour and Sam Mikulak stepping
out of bounds during their routines.
Its obviously tough whenever you start
from behind, but thats kind of the Team USA
motto to never give up, never quit, fight until
the end, Chris Brooks said. So we just tried to
rally together and get the ball rolling.
They were able to do that,
turning in solid performances
on the rings, vault and parallel
bars to put them within striking distance of a medal. Only
the uneven bars were left and
Danell Leyva knew he had to be
aggressive to give the team a
chance.
But instead of sticking his routine, he missed a connection, leaving the Americans in fifth place once more.
We started it off a little rough but we were
picking it up toward the end, Leyva said. I

was the one who messed it

up at the end. I just slipped
on the bar. I really tried
grabbing on and holding
on as much as I could but
my grip was off, like it
was not on the bar, and
thats why it slipped off.
It was a day that illusDanell Leyva trated the rapidly increasing gap between the U.S.
mens and womens teams. While the women
are overwhelming favorites to win their second straight team gold, the men have slipped
to the middle of the pack after winning team
medals in both 2004 and 2008. Williams
watched the American women dominate the
field in qualifying on Sunday night and hoped
it would give his group a boost.
Looking at the results obviously theyre
doing the right
things and they
looked fantastic last

night, Williams said. That was one of the

best gymnastics meets Ive ever watched.
Weve got to come out and be on fire as well.
The gymnasts werent really interested in comparing what happened in London to Mondays
performance. But Leyva summed up the feelings
of most of the guys rather succinctly.
It feels equally bad, he said.
Despite the disappointing finish the men
were happy with their effort and looking forward to better results in the individual events.
Even though we didnt get the placement
that we wanted it was fun. We had fun down
there, Brooks said. We were supporting
each other. We were competing with everything we had. Its gymnastics sometimes it
doesnt go your way, sometimes you need a
little bit of luck. But I had a great time.
Naddour completely agreed with his teammate and had a smile on his face as he
described the day.
Fifth in the world, he said. Its
still pretty good.

Famed soccer rivalry takes international stage

By Carlos Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO The sports rivalry

between Argentina and Brazil has moved
from the soccer field to the Rio Games.
Fans from both nations, always willing to
taunt each other, have put on a show in the
Olympic stands in the first days of competition in Rio.
When Argentina faced Nigeria in the basketball tournament, fans from both countries ignored the game to taunt each other.
Something similar happened a few hours earlier at the Olympic Tennis Centre, where the
local fans openly rooted for Novak
Djokovic of Serbia in his match against

Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.

A couple of days earlier, the Brazilians
also cheered for every opponent from eventual judo gold medal winner Paula Pareto, as
well as every Portugal goal in its 2-1 win
over Argentina in mens soccer.
I think its dumb to hear the Brazilians
cheering for a team thats not even in their
continent, said Argentina basketball player
Luis Scola of the local fans cheering for
Nigeria. But its also dumb that we
(Argentines) are insulting them when they
treat us so well when we are here.
The Argentines chanted a popular song
making fun of Brazils 7-1 loss to Germany
in the 2014 World Cup.The Brazilians
responded with a song making fun of

Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona and

his drug problems.
I dont like when we insult the Brazilians
because Brazil is not playing, besides they
are celebrating seven goals from two years
ago in a sport that we are not even playing
right now, Scola said.
The Brazilians responded with a song
making fun of Argentina soccer star Diego
Maradona and his drug problems.
I love that everybody is supporting us,
but Id rather not hear chants against
Brazil, said Argentina star Manu Ginobili.
I prefer that they chant for us.
Brazil and Argentina share the same group
in mens basketball and will face each other
on Saturday.

Monday in 10-meter synchronized diving.

take diving silver
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO China easily won its

second gold medal in diving at the Rio
Olympics, dominating the mens
10-meter synchronized event
while showing the rest of the world
how to barely make a splash.
Chen Aisen and Lin Yue totaled
496.98 points on Monday, cruising
to victory by 39.87 points.
American teammates David Boudia
and Steele Johnson took silver at
457.11. Tom Daley and Daniel
Goodfellow of Britain rallied to
claim bronze in 445.45.
In the last round, the Americans and
Chinese did the same dive, a back 2 1/2
somersaults with 2 1/2 twists pike only
slightly less difficult than their previous
one.
Boudia and Johnson went first, scoring
95.04 points with marks as high as 9.0.
Chen and Lin did even better, hitting the
water in unison and being rewarded with 9.5s
and 9.0s.
Boudia and Johnson controlled second
place throughout, leaving only the bronze
medal up for grabs. Four years ago in London,
Boudia earned bronze in platform synchro
with a different partner and gold in the individual 10-meter competition.
In 2009, Johnson struck his head on the
platform and was saved from bleeding out by
his coach, who jumped in the pool and held
his head together. He received 33 stitches and
a tube in his head to drain the chlorine.
It all worked out in the end, Johnson
said, the silver medal around his neck. The
fact that Im still alive is just more than I can
ask for.

Kevin Durant slams home two of his game-high 16 points as the U.S. mens
basketball team rolls past Venezuela 113-69 Monday in Rio.

U.S. men slam Venezuela

By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Red, white

and blase for one quarter, the U.S.
Olympic team woke up and won
with ease.
Shaking off a sluggish, sloppy
start and maybe some Brazilian
boredom, the Americans regrouped
in the second quarter and romped
over Venezuela 113-69 on Monday,
taking another step toward a possible third straight gold medal.
Kevin Durant scored 16 points
and Carmelo Anthony 14 for the
U.S. squad, which may have grown
a touch overconfident following a
57-point blowout of China in its
tournament opener.
The Americans were tied after one
quarter, but turned up their defensive intensity, outscored Venezuela
30-8 in the second period and
improved to 82-1 under coach Mike
Krzyzewski.
I think once we settled down,
made our adjustments to the way
they were calling the game, the way
that Venezuela wanted to play the
game, that second quarter we picked
it up defensively and turned it
around, Anthony said.
It was similar to the meeting
between the teams in Chicago on
July 29, when the U.S. shot poorly
and still won by 35 on their preRio exhibition tour. Maybe this

was a reminder that no team can be

taken lightly and there is little
margin for error once the
Olympic flame is ignited.
The game of basketball, everythings not going to be easy,
Durant said. We know that, even
with this great team.
The Americans continue pool
play on Wednesday against unbeaten Australia. The Aussies, featuring
five NBA players, four of them
league champions, improved to 2-0
on Monday with an impressive 9580 win over Serbia. Australia has
never won an Olympic medal in
mens basketball.
Anthony,
the
four-team
Olympian and two-time gold
medalist playing in his record 25th
game for the United States, provided a much-needed spark in the second quarter.
With the Americans leading just
28-22 and looking anything but
golden, Anthony came across the
lane and stripped the ball away
from Venezuelan center Gregory
Echenique and passed it to Kyrie
Irving. Anthony then trailed Irving
up the floor, accepted a feed on the
wing and knocked down a 3-pointer
that lifted some of the pressure
and fog off Team USA.
Anthony moved past Michael
Jordan on the U.S. career scoring
list and now only trails LeBron
James and David Robinson.

took over the program in 2001 when Belas
contract was not renewed after a disappointing
showing at the Sydney Olympics that the U.S.
finally took flight. The proof lies in the 88
world championship and Olympic medals the
Americans have captured during her tenure, a
number that could be near 100 by closing ceremonies in Rio.
She turned the sprawling ranch she and Bela
own on the border of the Sam Houston
National Forest about an hour north of
Houston into an incubator. Where the national team was once a nominal description for a
group of factions that came together only for
international events, she created a sense of
cohesion.
Everyone was very combative and competitive, said Rhonda Faehn, who trained
under the Karolyis in the 80s and now
serves as the senior vice president of the
womens program. We were expected to
compete as a team overseas and youre still
an individual. Its an incredible byproduct

KING
Continued from page 11
their lanes in the middle of the pool, King
took off in the other direction to congratulate
Meili. The medalists all climbed out of the
pool together, but the Americans quickly got
back to celebrating on deck. Efimova walked
away by herself.
Finally, as the swimmers were picking up

of what she has set in place.

Team members and their coaches visit the
ranch regularly to receive specialized instruction and produce a true sense of camaraderie.
The athletes become roommates during camp,
staying in comfortable if rustic suites
where cell reception can be spotty at best.
Its almost like camping out, said Laurie
Hernandez, at 16 the youngest member of
Team USA in Rio. Theres camels and horses
and there are bunk beds. We get very close
when were there.
Its the same for the coaches, who gather
after hours to play cards with Martha or hang
out at Belas lodge. Theres just one rule: keep
the shop talk to a minimum. That time away to
decompress helps them stay primed for what
happens when they get back to work, a
process that feels collaborative rather than
competitive.
Now there are a lot of coaches I could call
and say Hey, Im having trouble with this
skill, do you have any ideas to help out, said
Olympic national team coach Aimee
Boorman, who is also the personal coach of
three-time world champion Simone Biles. Its
been an emotional support and a technical support ... and its Martha. She knows what shes
doing.

Each session begins with the athletes lining

up according to height, tallest on the left,
shortest on the right. Then a brief pep talk
from Karolyi. No wasted time with pleasantries.
Very short, to the point, this is how she
works, Bela Karolyi said of his wife of over
50 years. Two or three things to work on,
then go.
And go they do. Training sessions are quiet
and intense. There is no wasted movement.
While coaches line each apparatus, Karolyi
will wander about, offering advice where she
sees fit. If the way its delivered occasionally
comes across as a little cold, thats not her
problem.
She is a very intimidating lady, Biles said.
Shell tell you how it is. She wants you to succeed. She never wants you to look back and say
I could have given it more.
Karolyi stopped measuring the U.S. against
the rest of the world long ago. They havent
lost a major international meet in six years and
are the model of efficiency when theyre on the
road. During podium training a dress
rehearsal on the event floor held before the
meet the Americans do a couple of sets on
each apparatus and then theyre done while
their competitors continue to tinker.

We used to say that we win our meets in the

training gym because all of the other countries
sit and watch us train and we dont watch them
train, said three-time Olympic medalist Aly
Raisman. You focus on yourself and your
teammates and thats the best you can possibly
do.
The Americans best typically ends in gold.
For the women Karolyi coaches, there is something nearly as valuable: a pinch on the back
of the neck.
To get that was huge, Faehn said. Bela
was all bear hugs but Martha, shes the only
one you always wanted to please.
There will be a few more to go around in Rio
but the next chapter for Karolyi and the empire
she built beckons. The Karolyis will officially
hand over the keys to the training facilities at
the ranch to USA Gymnastics later this month.
Then the search for her successor will begin in
earnest while she travels back to Romania to
spend time with family.
Its a decision shes at peace with, even if the
idea of her walking out of her house one morning during a training camp and going for a
walk instead of the gym seems unfathomable.
Its hard to replace her, said longtime
friend and coach Mihai Brestyan. It will be
the hardest job because of the shoes to fill.

their Olympic credentials, King gave

Efimova a quick pat on the shoulder.
Nothing more.
I basically said what everybodys thinking, King said, adding that other swimmers
were glad I spoke out and had the guts to say
that and I appreciate their support.
Efimova said shes been treated unfairly,
having already served a penalty for a doping
violation that occurred while she was training in Los Angeles with one of Americas
most prominent coaches, Dave Salo. As for
the second positive test, any possible sanctions were put on hold while the World Anti-

Doping Agency does more research on meldonium, which was only put on the banned
list at the beginning of the year.
Athletes used to be outside politics,
Efimova said. Its really painful for me that
a lot of athletes dont understand that and
just watch the TV and accept everything
thats said there. She called on them to
swap places with me and understand how I
feel.
Kings victory highlighted another big
night for the Americans, who also extended
their domination in the mens 100 backstroke with Ryan Murphys victory and

wound up with six medals in all.

Murphy was fourth at the turn, but rallied
on the return lap to give the Americans their
sixth straight gold medal in the 100 back.
Their last loss came at the 1992 Barcelona
Games.
For good measure, David Plummer a 30year-old Olympic rookie claimed the
bronze.
Hungarys Katinka Hosszu became the
first two-time gold medalist at the Olympic
Aquatics Stadium, adding the womens 100
backstroke title to her world-record victory
in the 400 individual medley.

With no clear favorite, Pac-12 promises memorable fall race

By Greg Beacham

in USCs long lineage, but he has a chance

to get everybodys attention this fall.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Stanford coach David

Shaw only needed a few words to epitomize
why his Cardinal are the Pac-12 football
favorites this fall and also why that distinction doesnt mean much.
I think we have a chance to be a good
team, but were a team in flux, Shaw said
after learning his Cardinal had won the preseason media poll.
The West Coasts top
league is wide open heading into the fall, with a
half-dozen legitimate
title contenders and no
overwhelming favorite.
Every team has major
questions at key positions, but nobody seems
David Shaw better prepared to answer
them than the ever-resourceful Cardinal.
Stanford is the defending champion of the
conference and the Rose Bowl, and running
back Christian McCaffrey might be the
nations top player. Its still not enough to
make them prohibitive favorites to repeat
in a conference that could end up without a
playoff representative again despite several
quality teams.
Parity is the enemy of excellence, and the
Pac-12 is full of teams with big positives
and big question marks. Two-thirds of the
league began training camps with uncertainty at quarterback, and the league doesnt
appear to possess any dominant defenses.
It could be a recipe for tight division
races, memorable Saturday finishes and a
crackerjack conference title game.

Simone Biles is explosive. The

she nearly ipped out of my television screen. You could actually

Katie Ledecky has lived up to
the hype. It may have been only
her rst of what many are predicting many gold medals, but the
American swimmer certainly set
the bar high with her performance

Florida officials go into damage-control mode over Zika

By Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Thank goodness

its the slow season in Florida.
At least thats what officials and
representatives of the states multibillion-dollar tourism industry are
thinking in the wake of the news that
16 people have been infected with
Zika in a small, trendy neighborhood
in Miami.
The outbreak has sent another chill
through the Sunshine States allimportant tourism industry just
weeks after the Orlando nightclub
massacre and the killing of a 2-yearold boy by an alligator at nearby
Walt Disney World.
Florida officials have gone into
damage-control mode, with Gov.
Rick Scott insisting, We have a safe
state! during a tour of the Zika hot
zone in Miamis Wynwood district.
Tourism is Floridas biggest industry. Visitors spent some $89 billion
here last year. And Disney is
Americas No. 1 tourist attraction.
Outside of a few business owners in
the affected square-mile neighborhood, however, Zika appears to have
done little damage to tourism so far.
We have not had anyone cancel a
trip to Florida because of Zika, said

Jenny Cagle, vice president of Elm

Grove Travel in Wisconsin. Its definitely a conversation. People are
talking about it.
Demetra Prattas, vice president of
Turon Travel, a New York-based company that books art tours and trips,
including the annual Art Basel festival that includes events in Wynwood,
said: I dont think its a factor in
deciding where to go. Weve had no
cancellations.
The governor has been on something of a statewide Zika tour, meeting with county health officials and
business owners in Miami and along
the Interstate 4 corridor that runs
through Orlando. He said tourists
should use caution and not worry
about mosquitoes, adding that Florida
knows how to prepare for crises
because of its hurricanes.
We will make sure all the tourists
feel comfortable coming to Florida,
he said Thursday in Wynwood, site of
the first mosquito-transmitted cases
of Zika on record in the continental
U.S. Weve got to continue to support these businesses because, why?
They have employees and those
employees need their jobs.
He said the state is doing everything it can to test people, spray
against mosquitoes, get rid of the

standing water in which they breed,

and encourage people to use insect
repellent.
The Visit Orlando tourism board
issued a statement noting that no
locally acquired cases of Zika have
been reported in the Orlando area,
which is over 200 miles from Miami.
The board gave assurances that safety is the top priority for our region.
The next few months will be crucial, said Henry Harteveldt, founder
of
the
San
Francisco-based
Atmosphere Research Group, a travel-industry watcher.
If Florida is able to address this
efficiently and quickly and be able to
pronounce with confidence that
theyve been able to eradicate, there
wont be long-term consequences,
he said. If Zika remains a long-term
challenge, its possible some potential tourists might think twice.
Federal health officials have

CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
future high-speed rail service on the
Peninsula.
Caltrain officials hope to run electric
trains along the Peninsula by 2020, with
high-speed rail possibly joining as early as
2025.
In 2012, the authority agreed to expend
$600 million in Proposition 1A funds
the nearly $10 billion in voter-approved
bonds toward Caltrains electrification.
But as costs for the local Caltrain project
have ballooned over the years to nearly $2
billion, high-speed rail along with other
funding partners are being asked to bolster
their contributions. Its now seeking an
additional $113 million from high-speed
rails cap-and-trade allocations.
The authority is expected to formalize its
commitment by approving a memorandum
of understanding to up its support to $713
million at its monthly Aug. 9 meeting.

Grade separations
As part of Tuesdays move, the authority
is also considering allocating $84 million
toward San Mateos grade separation project.
The city has spent years planning to raise
the Caltrain tracks above street traffic at
25th, 28th and 31st avenues while seeking
support from the High-Speed Rail
Authority. The entire $180 million project
also includes relocating the Hillsdale
Caltrain station further north and creating
new grade separated crossings at 31st as
well as 28th avenues currently the roads
dead-end at El Camino Real and do not intersect the tracks.
The 25th Avenue intersection was ranked
number seven on the California Public

Utilities Commissions list of crossings

that should be grade separated and officials
have noted the projects operational as well
as safety benefits.
Tripousis agreed San Mateos projects
could be considered a model of how such
projects should be planned and funded. With
more than 40 graded crossings along the
Peninsula, he emphasized the importance of
communities advocating for their own projects.
San Mateo has taken the initiative to
take the lead on the grade separations here
and more importantly, have invested their
own money. The city has invested funds, the
county is investing funds and its a much
more positive approach. Rather than the
state initiating the lead with all the
Peninsula cities on grade separation projects that are very local and very personal
projects, Tripousis said.
San Mateo has also been accommodating
as the authority considers part of the area as
a possible locale for future passing tracks,
Tripousis said.
Moving forward, the authority is advocating for a more regional approach and may
work with the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, among others, to study possible grade separation projects along the
corridor, Tripousis said.

Bumps along the way

High-speed rail has not been without controversy as the cost estimates jumped to
nearly $64.5 billion with no clear path to
closing the funding gap. Numerous community members and even transit advocates
have questioned whether Caltrain electrification is too closely tied with the states
project. Some also expressed concerns
whether Caltrains environmental impact
report was adequate, and have sued the transportation agency. Both Caltrain and the
authority have emphasized a separate environmental review of high-speed rail will be

THE DAILY JOURNAL

conducted.
As a state agency investing in the project, the authority will consider concurring
with the findings of Caltrains environmental impact report at Tuesdays meeting.
Caltrain electrification is expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions
as it plans for 75 percent of its diesel fleet
to be replaced by early 2021.
In seeking to stay on track with its schedule, last month the Caltrain Board of
Directors approved contracts to hire designbuild engineering firms that would electrify
the tracks and supply new electric trains.
But without all funds currently in hand, it
could only issue a limited notice to proceed. This will allow design work to begin
while the agency awaits word on nearly
$647 million in federal grants and the commitment from high-speed rail before construction commences.
According to legislation, high-speed
rails funding contribution is supposed to
come from the voter-approved Proposition
1A funds money that has been tied up
while the state agency fended off various
lawsuits. Existing laws require the funds be

spent on segments that would be suitable

and ready for high-speed rail operations.
Some opponents note transit officials
have repeatedly emphasized electrification
does not explicitly clear the way for highspeed rail, therefore, they contend it would
be illegal for the authority to provide funding. Some have also questioned whether it
can provide interim funding while it awaits
sale of the bonds.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, has proposed legislation
that would clarify the suitable and ready for
high-speed rail requirement to essentially
permit funds being spent on bookend
projects such as Caltrain.
Unaware of specific conversations related
to the authority providing bridge or interim
funding until bonds are sold, Tripousis said
officials are waiting for confirmation that
federal funds will be awarded to Caltrain. He
assured high-speed rail would be ready to
contribute by that time.
Caltrain officials have also emphasized
confidence in the authority and note the significance the local project has on the
statewide bullet train. Along with the
authority, a variety of local agencies and
counties must sign on to increase their support for the project at part of the updated
memorandum of understanding.
Approval of the seven-party MOU, and
the bilateral agreement between Caltrain
and High-Speed Rail, will provide funding
that is essential to the Peninsula Corridor
Electrification Project, Caltrains Chief
Communications Officer Seamus Murphy
said in an email. This project will deliver
long overdue improvements that will facilitate the next generation of Caltrain service
and will help connect the region with
statewide high-speed rail service.
The High-Speed Rail Authority meets 10
a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 1500 Capitol Av e.,
Sacramento.

Phelps touting the benefit of

cupping but does it work?
By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Michael

Phelps woke up on the morning of
the first race of his fifth Olympic
Games with some soreness in his
right shoulder.
At 31 years old, the swimming
superstar could not afford to have
anything slowing him down. So
he went to a Team USA athletic
trainer for some cupping therapy, a
treatment he has been receiving
for years to help relax his muscles
and ease soreness.
The trainer hit me pretty hard
with one and left a couple of bruises, Phelps said.
With large purple circles dotting
his shoulder and back, Phelps
delivered a performance for the
ages to lead the 4x100-meter
freestyle relay team to victory,
giving him his 19th career gold
medal. Phelps swam the fastest
100 meters of his life, a blazing
47.12 seconds on the second leg
of the relay that turned a slim
deficit in the race against France
into a comfortable lead that teammates Ryan Held and Nathan
Adrian were able to hold the rest of
the way.
The stirring victory televised
in prime time back home in the
United States = put Phelps back
on the podium and thrust cupping
therapy into the spotlight. It dates
back centuries and has enjoyed a
bit of a renaissance over the past
decade after athletes like Phelps
and NFL star DeMarcus Ware and
actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and
Jennifer Aniston started touting
its benefits.
Researchers have traced cuppings origins back to China and

B.C., and Team USA gymnast Alex
Naddour was among other
Olympians who have been seen
with the purple marks in Rio. And
its not just for star athletes.
Health spas often offer the service
for a few hundred dollars and the
cups can be purchased online for
as little as $15 and applied at
home.
Some in the medical community
believe its nothing but hocus
pocus, the latest form of snake oil

that tricks patients into paying for

it again and again. Others insist
that it aids recovery, relaxes muscles and helps an athlete maximize
performance.
Phelps certainly believes in it.
In the end, that may be all that
matters.
Ive done it before meets at
pretty much every meet I go to, he
said.
The treatment involves applying glass or plastic cups to the area
of discomfort and either applying

heat or suction to create a vacuum.

The suction pulls the skin away
from the muscle and draws oxygenated blood to the area. The suction also is what causes the bruising, like giant hickey without the
fun that comes with it.
I havent had bad ones like this
in in a while, Phelps said on
Sunday, a day after the relay.
Steve Hamilton, a massage therapist for the Denver Broncos, has
used the technique for years in
working with players. He said the

biggest benefits include increased

circulation, decreased muscle tension, decreased inflammation,
increased range of motion and
improved blood flow.
Its effectiveness is because its
all part of the bodys natural healing process, Hamilton said. But
cupping helps the body recover
faster by keeping the process
moving forward. Its awesome
because its all natural.
But there is a scarcity of accredited studies to prove cuppings efficacy, which has led to a fair
amount of skepticism. Many doctors have called it nonsense, and
others believe it is no more effective than a placebo.
Russian state TV, after watching
more than 100 of its athletes
become embroiled in a doping
investigation that excluded them
from the Rio Games, took a dig at
Phelps when it branded cupping
as-yet legal doping in a lengthy
feature on the treatment.
Hamilton said cupping is no
such thing.
It helps enhance the bodys natural neurological and circulatory
function, thus allowing the body
to be pushed and perform at a higher competitive level, he said.
Phelps even included the
process, which can be painful, in a
commercial he did for Under
Armour on the rigorous training he
puts his body through to get ready
to compete. When he is competing
in an event where victory is measured in fractions of a second, any
little edge could make the difference.
If he feels like he feels better,
Hamilton said, thats never a bad
thing.

MERGER
Continued from page 1
and try to work through them, said
firefighter Andy Martinez, a district
vice president representing the association under the umbrella of the Local
2400 union. The biggest thing is
always wages, benefits and working
conditions. Those are always key
items for labor, thats kind of what
were always trying to work on.
San Mateo Fire Chief John Healy,
who also leads the Belmont and Foster
City departments, acknowledged some
union members are concerned about
the unknown, but urged patience noting the details will be thoroughly vetted over the coming year.
The three cities began a shared-service model in 2010 and have slowly
been moving toward creating a larger,
more sustainable department that could
better handle bumps in the economy.
To promote cost savings and parity
amongst the agencies, they already
share command staff and fire prevention services, have personnel undergo
the same training and use an integrated
software system.
But with a slew of details still needing to be worked out, many of the
union members remain hesitant citing
the 2011 failure of the South County
Fire Authority a merger between the
Belmont and San Carlos departments
that ended bitterly after the two city
councils couldnt agree on the funding
arrangement.
A representative with Belmonts
union did not immediately return a
request for comment.
When the South County agency dissolved, many longtime fire department
employees were handed pink slips and
forced to essentially reapply for their
jobs. Then when it came to negotiating their contracts, many were left taking less pay or fewer benefits, said
firefighter Matt Turturici, a district
vice president also representing the
San Mateo association.
I swore to my members that we
would never have the same outcome as
South County Fire did. They joined,

they had disagreements, squabbled

over the contracts and at the end of the
day, they said to hell with it and they
dissolved, Turturici said. Its really
the fear of the unknown and what can
happen if this thing was to fall apart.
While the JPA could benefit from
being a larger and more sustainable
organization, especially for future
generations hired through a new
agency, Turturici questioned the
impacts of dissolving San Mateos
more than 100-year-old fire department. There are also concerns as to
how it would play out for existing and
retired employees, Turturici said.
Martinez noted the union is in the
midst of negotiating contracts with
the city and having an agreement in
place is an important step before they
feel comfortable proceeding with the
JPA.
Chief Healy said he understands
existing employees and retirees are
concerned, but the JPA has been years
in the making.
Right now, their fear is am I going
to lose vacation or seniority or this
and that? No, wed never put
together a package that theyre going
to lose something thats a part of their
current [job, ] Healy said. The
biggest thing that might change is the
name and the governance. Beyond
that, most is going to be very similar
to what it is today other than its a single model that would be more cost
effective then the three departments we
have today.
Healy pointed to the demise of the
South County Fire Authority as an
example from which to learn.
Outlining details, including a costsharing arrangement, that all three
cities can agree upon, will be key to
the proposed new departments success, Healy said.
Turturici said while they association
has been very appreciative of the San
Mateo City Council, he worries the
voice of their advocates would be diluted under the JPA a new governance
would likely be made up from members
of each cities councils.
San Mateo Deputy Mayor David Lim
and Councilman Rick Bonilla noted
they have heard concerns from the
union and met with representatives to

further understand their issues.

Lim said he couldnt form an opinion
on the JPA until details are outlined and
brought forward for consideration.
They want to make sure the quality
of employees and the security to the
employees are kept in mind, Lim
said. Theres not always been a
smooth transition for consolidation of
services on the Peninsula so first and
foremost we want to think about the
safety of our citizens.
Lim said the JPA board must be
accountable to the residents and firefighters. While each council considers
whether to sign on, Lim said his job
will be to make sure every concern is
addressed.
Healy said he anticipates specialists
and legal counsel will be hired to formalize the agreements, adding the
unions as well as city councils will be
updated along the way. Brian Kelly,
former fire chief of the San Mateo,
Millbrae and Union City fire departments who has expertise in fire service
administration, is expected to work as
a consultant as well, Healy said.
But before any future steps are taken,
Healy noted San Mateo voters must
first consider a charter amendment to
eliminate a requirement that the city
have its own, standalone department.
The City Council last week agreed to
place a measure on the November ballot.
All agreed that dissolving San
Mateos 100-year-old department is
not something to take lightly.
For the firefighters, theres also a
matter of pride and dedication
Turturici noted the local employees
contributed pay cuts during the recession to keep the department afloat
while avoiding layoffs and Martinez
said the department has invested in
being an integral part of the city.
[Dissolving the department] is a
big concern of ours. We take a lot of
pride in our department. Weve done a
lot of things in our community, weve
taken an active approach with who we
are with the community, Martinez
said, noting hell reserve final judgment until details of the proposed JPA
are presented. Its part of the process
and its always been about sustainability.

The contract will allow LifeMoves

to hire six full-time outreach managers, said Brian Greenberg, the
agencys vice president of programs
and services.
The countys unsheltered homeless
population has dropped in the past
few years and Greenberg credits the
partnerships between nonprofits and
government to make it happen.
The main goal is to get people off
the street, Greenberg said.
He also notes that currently there
are no unsheltered homeless with
children living on the street.

It says a lot about the commitment

of the county, he said.
LifeMoves is opening a shelter for
homeless families in Daly City to
accommodate 14 families and is doubling the size of its Maple Street
Shelter in Redwood City.
The HOT program is conducted in
partnership with local law enforcement to address the unmet needs of the
chronically homeless and transition
them into transitional housing.
Many have addictions and others
behavioral health issues. Different
clients need different types of interventions, Greenberg said.
HOTs goal is to provide
services and support to the
homeless population and
remove barriers to housing,
according to a staff report
by Human Services Director
Iliana Rodriguez.
Services include matching
a homeless individuals
strengths and preferences
with available housing
services,
documenting
homelessness and disabilities, making referrals to the
Housing Authority, connecting them to support
services and offering shelter, according to the report.
It is anticipated that 157
unduplicated clients will
receive
outreach
and
engagement during fiscal
year 2016-17. About a third
of these new clients will
likely access emergency,
transitional or permanent
housing, according to the
report.

Afghan official: Gunmen abduct

American, Australian in Kabul
By Rahim Faiez
and Lynne ODonnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan Five gunmen wearing Afghan military uniforms

have abducted an American and an
Australian in Kabul, a security official
said Monday. No group immediately
claimed responsibility for the abduction.
The two foreigners were taken from
their SUV while driving on Sunday
night on a main road near the American
University of Afghanistan, according
to Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the
Afghan Interior Ministry. They are
believed to be employees of the university and were traveling between the
university and their residence in the
Afghan capital, he said.
Sediqqi added that initial reports say
up to five armed men stopped the foreigners vehicle. The two abducted are
both men, he said. He did not reveal
any more details except to say that an
investigation is underway.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a
brief statement confirming the kidnapping of an American citizen but gave
no further details due to privacy concerns.
U.S. Embassy security officials are
working closely with Afghan law
enforcement and security colleagues
and AUAF to assist in the investigation into the kidnapping, it said,
referring to the American University
of Afghanistan.
Australias Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade also issued a statement confirming the apparent kidnapping of an Australian in Kabul. No
further details were released, also for

Kabul, Afghanistan.
privacy concerns.
We continue to advise Australians
not to travel to Afghanistan because of
the extremely dangerous security situation, including the serious threat of
kidnapping, it said.
Senior staff at the university in
Kabul could not immediately be
reached for comment. Students were
sent an email from the universitys
Office of Student Affairs telling them
the campus will be closed tomorrow
and until further notice.
Kidnappings are not uncommon in
Afghanistan. Three other foreigners
who were kidnapped in Kabul over the
past year have all been released,
including an Indian woman, Judith
DSouza who was freed last month after
being held for more than a month.
An Australian woman, Kerry Jane

Wilson, was abducted in the eastern

city of Jalalabad in April. Her whereabouts are unknown.
Sediqqi said that kidnappers in all
the Kabul cases, including Mondays,
had been wearing military uniforms,
establishing a pattern and hinting at
some form of organized gang activity.
Most of the thousands of foreigners
living and working in Kabul are largely confined to their embassies or, in
the case of those working for the
United Nations or other non-government organizations, to their residential compounds, with limited movement permitted.
The abductions heighten the risk for
the few foreigners, including journalists, who move with relative freedom
across the Afghan capital in order to do
their work.

Around the world

Turkey detains 10 foreigners
over suspected ties to Gulen
ANKARA, Turkey Turkish authorities have detained at
least 10 foreign nationals suspected of ties to a U.S.-based
cleric whom Turkey accuses of masterminding the July 15
failed coup, a senior official said Monday.
At least four of them had been formally arrested pending
trial while a fifth person had been released, Deputy Prime
Minister Numan Kurtulmus told reporters after a Cabinet
meeting. One of the suspects was detained on Saturday after
entering Turkey illegally from Syria, the deputy premier said.
Kurtulmus said at least one wanted foreign national was on
the run.
He didnt provide details on their nationalities, but said the
number of foreigners detained could increase as the investigation deepens.
Turkeys government launched a sweeping crackdown targeting followers of U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah
Gulen, who is accused of behind the coup attempt by renegade
soldiers within the military. Gulen, who lives in selfimposed exile in Pennsylvania, has denied involvement.
Nearly 18,000 people have been detained or arrested in the
crackdown, mostly from the military. Tens of thousands of
people have been suspended or dismissed from jobs in the
judiciary, media, education, health care, military and local
government.

Suicide attack targets

lawyers at Pakistan hospital, 70 dead
QUETTA, Pakistan Pakistani militants struck at the
heart of the countrys legal profession on Monday, killing a
prominent attorney and then bombing the hospital where
dozens of other lawyers had gathered to mourn. The twin
attacks killed at least 70 people, most of them lawyers,
authorities said.
A breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban claimed
responsibility for the attacks in Quetta, the capital of restive
Baluchistan province, which also wounded dozens of others.
In a statement, Ahsanullah Ahsan, spokesman for the
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar militant group, said its fighters killed Bilal
Kasi, the president of the Baluchistan Bar Association, then
as dozens of lawyers gathered at the government-run Civil
Hospital, a suicide bomber targeted the mourners.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has been behind several attacks in
Pakistan in recent years, including a deadly March bombing
on Easter Sunday in a park in the eastern city of Lahore that
killed at least 70 people.
