County snubs Law Library

Civil grand jury urged ongoing funding; San Mateo County says no
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The San Mateo County Law Library

will not get any extra money from the
Board of Supervisors to stave off its
fiscal crisis, according to a report by
County Manager John Maltbie.
The San Mateo County Civil Grand
Jury issued its own report in June that
urged the board to provide supplemental funding to the Law Library since its
primary source of funding from civil

court filing fees has steadily decreased

since 2010.
The grand jury report stated that the
library, near the Hall of Justice in
downtown Redwood City, is in serious jeopardy and a unique resource.
But in a response letter to the grand
jury, the Board of Supervisors states
that there are cheaper ways to provide
services such as expanded use of
online legal resource systems and public libraries.
The Law Library served nearly 8,000

patrons in fiscal year 2014-15. About

half were members of the general public, county employees and students and
the other half were members of the
legal community.
Library revenue have decreased 52
percent in five years.
The grand jury wanted supervisors to
promptly adopt a formal policy to mitigate the Law Librarys fiscal crisis and
establish ongoing supplemental funding immediately.

Blind voters to
get more access
Legal deal allows visually impaired
in county to vote remotely, privately
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A recent legal deal will make it easier for visually

impaired voters in San Mateo County to privately participate in upcoming elections, said an attorney representing
blind voters who sued alleging discrimination.
Software designed to accommodate blind voters who seek
to vote by mail will likely be fully available next year and
the remote voting devices can be brought to the homes of
those who request them to vote in the fall election, under an
implementation agreement signed last week by a district
court judge.
County officials agreed to work toward making the technology available in the wake of two blind Menlo Park residents James Gump and Lynda Johnson filing a lawsuit last
year alleging they were not granted equal access to private
absentee voting.

The Pescadero Country Store was nearly unrecognizable Sunday after a two-alarm fire destroyed the business.

Pescadero Country Store destroyed in fire

Coastside business known as community heart, jobs lost
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The coastside community is looking

to rise from the ashes of Sundays devastating fire that destroyed the
Pescadero Country Store, one of the
secluded towns few grocers known as a
bustling community hub.
The two-alarm fire, which caused an

estimated nearly $1 million in damages, also caused at least 19 people to

lose their jobs in a town where
employment options are already
scarce, according to locals and fire
officials.
Located at 251 Stage Road in the
quaint coastal town, the long-standing business combined a grocery
store, bar and a restaurant praised for

its artisan pizzas.

Definitely its a big loss. The country store has been for a long time the
heart of the community, said Rita

Millbrae school tax talks resume

School officials seek clarity in discussion of potential bond or parcel tax
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Millbrae school officials interested in

raising revenue will seek more clarity
regarding whether to pursue a facilities bond
or parcel tax during an upcoming meeting.
The Millbrae Elementary School District
Board of Trustees will again discuss during a
Tuesday, Sept. 20, meeting opportunities to
ask for voter support of a tax measure in an
upcoming election.
Though no decision is set to be made at the
meeting, the discussion is slated to serve as
the next chapter in a series of talks designed
to identify the types of school projects
deemed most deserving of financing.
Superintendent Vahn Phayprasert said he
anticipates a thorough discussion regarding
the merits of each potential measure, as parcel taxes pay toward funding operations
while a bond measure would help address
school facility concerns.
We are truly just at the beginning
stages, he said.
The district has never had a parcel tax,
said Phayprasert, so much of the conversation at the upcoming meeting will be
focused on examining the details of such an
initiative.
It takes a whole village to pass something like this and we want to get the pulse
of the community and see whether they have
any questions or concerns, he said.
Officials earlier this year began talks
indicating interest in pursuit of a potential
tax, but it remains unclear which measure is
needed more. In an effort to gain some clarity, trustees in the past have advocated for
hiring a pollster to gauge public interest in
supporting a new revenue stream for the
school district.
The school districts decision will likely
be influenced by the moves of city officials,

Comment on

Phayprasert said, as residents could soon be
asked to vote in favor of a tax paying toward
reconstruction of the citys Community
Center, said Phayprasert.
Our collaboration with the city is very
important and that is something our board
truly considers when making these big decisions, he said.
City officials are in the process of identifying the amenities which could be offered
at the facility once it is rebuilt, and some
have suggested a tax measure may be necessary to finance the construction of a project
offering the variety of modern services
sought by residents.
School officials have expressed concerns
regarding placing competing tax measures
before voters in an upcoming election, so
as to not overwhelm local residents with
requests for financial support.
The Millbrae City Council also recently
started examining a revision to the citys
general plan, which stands to impact development throughout the city and could ultimately affect the schools enrollment patterns.
School officials raised issues earlier this
year when city officials approved a policy
laying the groundwork for the development
of new homes and offices near the citys
joint Bay Area Rapid Transit and Caltrain
station.
At the behest of the school district,
city officials agreed to encourage developers interested in building near the rail
station to meet with education officials
and discuss offsetting the potential costs

resulting in more students.

The district Board of Trustees has also
agreed to hike the fees charged to developers building projects establishing new
homes or jobs in Millbrae, but officials
have said the money generated is likely
insufficient to finance the construction of
new classrooms.
An influx of development may result in a
wave of new students filling district classrooms, claimed school officials, leading to
discussions regarding the potential need for
more campus building possibly financed
through a bond initiative.
Trustees have also said in the past they
would like to offer district teachers higher
pay rates, and a parcel tax would increase the
revenue available to spend on attracting and
retaining quality educators.
School district officials and teachers
needed a mediator to help quell tensions during contract negotiations last year, but relations have improved since and culminated
earlier this year when both sides amicably
agreed to a new two-year labor deal and raise
for teachers.
Ultimately the direction the school district takes in potential pursuit of its public
financing will likely become more clear in
the coming weeks and months, said
Phayprasert.
Our kids deserve the best, he said. We
cant control our funding formula from the
state, but we can control our local funding
and a parcel tax is an avenue to look at
that.

Brown backs rules on cow, landfill emissions
SACRAMENTO California will begin regulating greenhouse-gas emissions tied to dairy cows and landfills under
legislation signed Monday by Gov. Jerry
Brown, escalating state efforts to fight
climate change beyond carbon-based
gases to include methane and other pollutants.
The law targets a category of gases
known as short-lived climate pollutants,
which have an outsize effect on global
warming despite their relatively short life
in the atmosphere. Environmentalists
Jerry Brown hope that tackling short-lived pollutants
now would buy time to develop new and
more affordable technology to reduce carbon emissions.
California has stoked a global reputation for its attempts
to slow climate change through a combination of strict mandates against pollution and financial incentives for green
technology.
The new law requires steep reductions in a variety of pollutants, including methane; HFC gases used in aerosols and air
conditioning refrigerants; and soot, known as black carbon.
Its tied to $90 million in funding for the dairy industry and
garbage collectors.
This bill curbs these dangerous pollutants and thereby
protects public health and slows climate change, the
Democratic governor said in a statement.

California wildfire becomes

costliest ever to fight at $200M
BIG SUR A wildfire burning for nearly two months on
Californias scenic Big Sur coast has surpassed $200 million
in firefighting costs, becoming the costliest to fight in U.S.
history, according to date released Monday.
The fire has cost $206.7 million to fight so far, the
National Interagency Fire Center said in a report. And with
the blaze at only 67 percent containment, there could be
weeks left before the firefight is done.
That puts it well past the previous high of $165 million
established by a blaze that burned in California and Oregon
in 2002.
The figure does not include the actual damages done by the
fire like destroyed homes, only the costs of extinguishing
and containing it.
It also is not adjusted for inflation, which would put the
2002 fire and others ahead of it.

California prison medical

facility provides inadequate care
SACRAMENTO Inspectors say a major California
prison medical center still is providing inadequate care to
inmates despite 10 years of oversight intended to improve
care.
The state inspector general says in a report released
Monday that the California Medical Facility in Vacaville
failed on half of 14 key benchmarks.
He cites poor nursing care and a recent policy change that
means there are no doctors at the facility after normal hours.
The 61-year-old facility provides medical and psychiatric
care to more than 2,500 sick inmates, including hospice care
for the terminally ill.

Police capture man sought

in New York-area bombings
By Deepti Hajela and Jake Pearson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LINDEN, N.J. A New Jersey police

officer responding to a call about a
hoodied vagrant curled up asleep in the
doorway of a bar roused him and quickly
recognized his bearded face as that of
perhaps the most wanted man in
America.
Ahmad Khan Rahami identified in
an FBI bulletin just hours earlier as a
man wanted in the weekend bombings
in New York City and New Jersey
pulled a gun, shot the officer and triggered a running gun battle in the street
that ended with Rahami wounded and in
custody Monday, authorities said.
A bloodied Rahami was loaded into
the back of an ambulance, just 50 hours
after the first blast that started it all.
Rahami, 28, a naturalized U.S. citizen
from Afghanistan who lived with his
family in Elizabeth, New Jersey, underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the
leg as authorities began drawing up
charges in a case that spread fear across
the New York area and revived anxiety
about homegrown terrorism.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said
officials have every reason to believe
the series of bombings was an act of
terror, though investigators said
Rahamis exact motive isnt yet clear.

REUTERS

A still image captured from a video from WABC television shows a conscious man
believed to be New York bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami being loaded
into an ambulance after a shoot-out with police in Linden, N.J.
With Rahamis arrest, officials said
they have no indication there are more
bombs or suspects to find, though they
cautioned that they are still investigating.
Still, after a whirlwind investigation
that put Rahami in custody in just two
days time, Im a lot happier today than
I was yesterday, New York City Police
Commissioner James ONeill said.
The probe started when a pipe bomb
blew up Saturday morning in Seaside

Park, New Jersey, before a charity race

to benefit Marines. No one was injured.
Then a shrapnel-packed pressurecooker bomb similar to those used in
the Boston Marathon attack exploded
Saturday night in New Yorks Chelsea
section, wounding 29 people, none
seriously. An unexploded pressurecooker bomb was found blocks away.
Late Sunday night, five explosive
devices were discovered in a trash can at
an Elizabeth train station.

Victim: Mall attacker emotionless; leaders urge rise above

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. CLOUD, Minn. One of the

victims wounded in a stabbing at a central Minnesota mall says the man who
carried out the attack showed no emotion and his eyes looked blank.
Ryan Schliep, one of 10 people who
suffered wounds that were not lifethreatening before the attacker was
fatally shot, told WCCO-TV that the
man just walked right at me before
striking quickly and penetrating the
skin of his scalp.

He looked just blank in the eyes

like he wasnt even there, Schliep
said shortly before being released from
a St. Cloud hospital.
Authorities are treating Saturdays
stabbings at Crossroads Center Mall
as a possible act of terrorism, in part
because an Islamic State-run news
agency claimed that the attacker was a
soldier of the Islamic State who had
heeded the groups calls for attacks in
countries that are part of a U.S.-led
anti-IS coalition.
But it wasnt immediately known

whether the extremist group had

planned the attack or knew about it
beforehand. St. Cloud Police Chief
Blair Anderson said Monday the attack
appeared to be the work of a single
individual and there was no sign that
the attacker, identified by his father as
20-year-old Dahir Adan, was radicalized or communicated with any terrorist group.
President Barack Obama said the
stabbings had no apparent connection
to weekend bombings in New York and
New Jersey.

Man pleads no
contest to bank robbery
A man who turned himself in to a mall
security guard in May 10 days after robbing a Daly City bank pleaded no contest to robbery on Friday on the condition
that he serve two years in prison, San
Mateo County prosecutors said Monday.
Nadeem Deiseh, 19, went to the First
National Bank at 6600 Mission St. at
about 9:30 a.m. on May 18 and handed a
teller a note that said, Give me all the hundreds. Not the exploding dye pack. B---h,
according to prosecutors.
The teller gave him $2,100 and he ran
from the bank. Investigators released his
photo to media and the FBI announced it
was joining the search in the days after the
robbery.
On May 28, Deiseh surrendered to a guard
at the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton and
said he was the suspect in the robbery.
Investigators never recovered the cash he
stole.
In a plea deal with prosecutors, Deiseh
agreed to plead no contest to robbery on
the condition that he get a sentence of two
years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 21 and remains in custody
on $50,000 bail.

Driver killed on highway

of Mountain View, died after being struck
in the neck by what appears to be a large
metal screw-on nozzle cap that came off the
back of a Caltrans water truck, Caltrans
spokesman Myeast McCauley said.

right lane near Willow Road, flew across
several lanes of traffic and broke through
Schaefers windshield as he was driving in
the northbound fast lane, McCauley said.
These kinds of caps are usually secured
by a metal chain, McCauley said, and its
still unclear how it got loose.
After being struck, Schaefer struck the
center divider before eventually coming to
a stop. No other vehicles were involved.
Caltrans offers its deepest condolences
to Mr. Schaefers family and friends,
McCauley said.
The CHP investigation into the death is
still underway, McCauley said.

highway collision identified
Two women who died after the car they
were in collided with a truck on Highway 1
near Pescadero Saturday afternoon have
been identified as 22-year-old Audrey
Jimenez and 22-year-old Madeline Halluin,
according to the San Mateo County
Coroners Office.
Jimenez, a San Jose resident, and
Halluin, a Campbell resident, were both
pronounced dead at the scene following the
collision, California Highway Patrol officials said.
The collision was reported around 4 p.m.
on Highway 1 at Pigeon Point Road in
unincorporated San Mateo County, according to the CHP.
A Dodge pickup truck was traveling south
on Highway 1 when a Mazda CX-5, occupied by Halluin and Jimenez, tried to pull
out onto the highway from Pigeon Point
Road.
The Mazda, however, came right into the
path of the Dodge and the two vehicles collided, CHP officials said.
No one inside the Dodge was injured,
according to the CHP.
Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a
factor in the crash, CHP officials said.

Clinton: Trump gives aid,

By Catherine Lucey and Jill Colvin

ESTERO, Fla. Hillary Clinton accused

Donald Trump of giving aid and comfort
to Islamic terrorists Monday, declaring his
anti-Muslim rhetoric helps groups such as
ISIS recruit new fighters. Trump showed no
sign of changing and insisted the U.S.

available to get information from the

New Jersey and stabbings at a Minnesota

point.

Donald Trump how to do this.
The possibility of a
home-grown terrorist plot cast a new shadow over the presidential race, diverting
both candidates attention from the daily
controversies of the campaign and giving
them a high-profile opportunity to make
their case to undecided voters.
Clinton and her team see her experience
and what they say is her steady judgment as
key selling points for her candidacy. On the
campaign trail, she frequently invokes her
role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin
Laden, describing to voters the tense atmosphere in the White House alongside
President Barack Obama at that moment.
But while much of the foreign policy
establishment has rallied around Clinton,
Trumps anti-immigrant rhetoric, promises

World leaders approve

plan for refugee crisis
By Michael Astor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS World leaders on

Monday approved a declaration aimed at providing a more coordinated and humane
response to the refugee crisis that has
strained resources and sparked divisions from
Africa to Europe.
The issue of what to do about the worlds
65.3 million displaced people took center
stage at the U.N. General Assembly with
leaders from the 193 member states taking
part in the first-ever summit on Addressing
Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants.
Advocacy groups worried that the New York
Declaration on Migrants and Refugees an
outcome document which contains no concrete commitments and is not legally binding falls short of what is needed, while
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, himself a refugee during the Korean War, hailed it
as historic.
Todays summit represents a breakthrough
in our collective efforts to address the challenges of human mobility, Ban said.
Around the world, there are currently
about 21.3 million refugees, 3.2 million
asylum seekers, and 40. 8 million
migrants, according to the U.N. Refugee
Agency. The agency defines refugees as
people forced to flee due to armed conflict
or persecution, while migrants choose to

move in search of a better life.

Philippe Bolopion, deputy director of
global advocacy for Human Rights Watch,
said the international community still had a
long way to go in dealing with the crisis.
I would say if you measure this document
by what is at stake here, it certainly falls
short of the mark. Were facing an historic
crisis and the response is not historic,
Bolopion said on the sidelines of the meeting. He added that in many areas refugee protections were backsliding with a growing
number of countries trying to turn back
refugees in violation of international law.
Is the outcome document up to the challenge? No, unquestionably its not. Does that
mean the summit is pointless? No, because
its precisely at moments like this that you
need to regroup, Bolopion added.
The declaration seeks to standardize
responses to refugee situations and provide
better education prospects for the children
who make up over half of the worlds
refugees.
It also looks to improve working opportunities for refugees who are now spending
nearly 20 years in exile on average.
There are also plans for a campaign to combat xenophobia.
All of this may prove an uphill struggle at
a time when refugees and migrants have
become a divisive issue in Europe and the
United States.

Obama, Iraqi leader vow

rapid offensive to retake Mosul
NEW YORK President Barack Obama
and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi put
the Islamic State group on notice Monday
that they plan to recapture the city of Mosul
within months. If successful, the operation
could mark a major turning point in the campaign to defeat the extremist group.
Neither leader glossed over the immense
difficulty of the battle ahead as they met in
New York on the sidelines of a U.N. summit.
Still, Obama said he and Abadi were confident that Iraqs military and the U.S.-led
coalition could make progress in Mosul
fairly rapidly, adding that he was hoping
for progress by year-end.
This is going to be hard. Its going to be
challenging. It will require resources,
Obama said. But he professed confidence
that more territory can be wrested from the
militants, in part because he said the Iraqi
forces are getting more confident.

immigrants by name, but Inspector General

John Roths auditors said they were all from
special interest countries those that
present a national security concern for the
United States or neighboring countries
with high rates of immigration fraud. The
report did not identify those countries.
DHS officials identified an additional 953
people who had been naturalized despite outstanding deportation orders, though auditors
couldnt determine if those immigrants had
digital fingerprints on file or not.
Roths report said fingerprints are missing from federal databases for as many as
315,000 immigrants with final deportation
orders or who are fugitive criminals.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has
not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants files to add fingerprints to the digital record.

Letters to the editor

Rent stabilizations
does not create criminals
Editor,
I am writing in response to Mike
Browns letter, No to rent control
(in the Sept. 14 edition of the Daily
Journal), where he wrote: Rent
Control results in unkempt rental
units and low-income Section 8
housing zones where illegal drugs,
gangs and crime flourish. ... East
Palo Alto has rent-control ... it was
labeled Murder Capital of the
World in the 1990s.
Browns insinuation is clear
rent stabilization supposedly results
in poor people running amok, leading to crime-infested communities.
My son and his wife live in
Burlingame, one of the cities
attempting to pass rent stabilization. He teaches at the community
college and serves on the Library
Board. His wife is a writer who has
published two best-selling books
and has volunteered for numerous
causes in their city. They also rent.
But unlike Brown, they believe that
everyone in a community no matter the color of their skin, the
amount of money in their pocket or
whether they rent or own a home
should have a voice in that community. They believe that a community
should always be reaffirming what it
means to be responsible for everyone else in that community.
Rent stabilization will not turn
my son and his wife into criminals.
Thats preposterous. What it will do
is protect giving members of our
communities workers and families from being driven from the
towns they have given so much to.
When I served on the San Mateo
Elementary School Board years ago,
I worked to institute integration in
the schools. I personally dealt with
the same sort of abject fear-mongering that is now being perpetrated by
Brown and others like him about
anyone renters and homeowners
alike who may support rent stabilization. It is deplorable.

Many folks are loyal to the pop

music of their high school days. It
is the familiarity with those old
tunes, no matter how you learned to
love them. Swing bands and crooners from the 40s, 50s and 60s
were ultimately displaced by jazz,
rhythm and blues and then rock.
Then came folk music and country
sounds. Now electronic arts have
changed the sounds of our music
once again, including world music
from Cuba, Brazil, India and other
cultures.
Those who are still stuck in their
high school memories of bobby sox
and pegged pants should listen to
the millennials of today. Theyhave
a lot to offer to our generations and
to our future. And, everyone can continue to adore their own music from
those long past high school days.

Profit over all

Editor,
At a recent Burlingame City
Council meeting, councilmembers
approved a plan to demolish affordable housing and build a high-priced
condo tower on the site. Since there
is a serious shortage of affordable
housing, and Burlingame is seeking
some method to finance the construction of affordable housing, this
was a very bad decision.
The council put the developers
profit over the need for affordable
housing.This was an immoral decision.The council should be concerned with the present residents of
the city, not the developer.
Residents living in the building will
likely be forced out of our city, and
they will most likely lose their jobs
as well if they have to move far
away.
There has been a great deal of
opposition to this development by
the nearby residents but it seems
our City Council is not really concerned with anything but getting
higher tax payments from the new
owners. They stated that they
approved this new construction
because the developer owned the
property and had the right to do
what ever he wanted to with this
property. It seems a case of profit
over all other concerns.

Saving drowning renters

Editor,
A recent letter writer spoke of the
need to enact tenant protection policies of rent stabilization and just
cause for eviction while we pursue
the longer term objective of building more housing on the Peninsula
(Housing: A Complex Problem in
the Sept. 16 edition of the Daily
Journal). This immediately brought
to mind New Orleans in the wake of
Hurricane Katrina. When Katrina hit,
its trail of devastation made it
apparent that the levees needed to be
strengthened and the wetlands
restored. But do you remember the
desperate people standing on their
rooftops with the water level rising
all around them? Were we as a society going to let them drown while we
identified and pursued long-term
solutions? Of course not. Building
more units will help the local housing problem over the long term, but
it does nothing for people now living in our community who are at
risk of being inundated by doubledigit rent increases or abrupt evictions. Voting for Measures Q and R
is our way of saying that, as a community, we do not intend to let these
residents drown.

With all the traffic in the Bay

Area, a new bridge across the Bay is
definitely needed. My idea would be
between Oyster Point in South San
Francisco to the city of Alameda
across the Bay. This is the widest
part of the Bay, and it is a very commercialized area especially around
the city of South San Francisco. If
there were a bridge built here it
would take traffic off of San
Franciscos antiquated highways
leading to the Bay Bridge, and all of
the traffic coming off of the Bay
Bridge heading south. It would also
help people to get to work at businesses in the Oyster Point area like
Genentech. Additionally, it would
help with traffic between the
Oakland and San Francisco airports.
Right now there is so much traffic
on the San Francisco and San Mateo
bridges; it is really overwhelming.
A new bridge would definitely be
beneficial and it doesnt have to be
named after a foolish politician
either. It can simply be called the
Oyster Point Bay Bridge. Build it
and they will come.

will never forget the rst magic show I witnessed as a

child during a school assembly. Clothed in the classic
black tuxedo and bow tie, the magician smiled,
winked and announced that he would proceed to perform his
rst magic trick. He then requested the help of a willing
volunteer to hand him a coin. Quite eager, I pushed and
shoved my way to the front of the auditorium, capturing his
attention.
Offering him my one and only quarter, he took the coin
and told me to watch his left hand. Now, I will make the
quarter disappear before your eyes, he said. The room fell
silent. On the edge of my seat, I watched closely as he proceeded to conduct his trick. Holding high the coin for all to
see, he quickly adjusted his sleeves as he prepared. When he
raised his left hand again, behold, the coin was gone. It was
the rst time in life I truly
believed my eyes had deceived
me. After a short silence, the
assembly room erupted with
cheers. I, however, held my
applause for two reasons. First, I
was bafed at how he managed to
make my quarter disappear.
Secondly, I very much wanted
my quarter back.
With maturity, I discovered
how the magician managed to
perform such a trick. The vanishing coin is among the most
classic of magic tricks. Believe Jonathan Madison
it or not, the trick is not very difcult. In fact, the most
difcult part is the deception. As the magician rolled up
his sleeves, he cleverly exchanged from his left hand the
coin in his right hand. The act is so deceptive that it literally fools the onlooker into thinking the coin never
left the magicians left hand. The bottom line is that if
you do not closely observe the magicians hands, you
will be fooled into looking in the wrong place, thus
missing his transfer of the coin. Ultimately, you will
believe what he wants you to think that magic made
the coin vanish.
As I observe the mainstream media today, I am mindful of
the magicians trick when I feel drawn into a false narratives perpetuated by the news industry. The industrys selective focus on the most controversial and divisive stories
often blinds us to other far more signicant topics affecting
the state of our nation.
Take for example the recent and unrelenting coverage of
Colin Kaepernicks controversial refusal to stand for the
national anthem. For more than two weeks, the mainstream
media isolated much of its coverage to those reacting to
Kaepernick. Meanwhile, several very important newsworthy topics were, in large part, completely ignored and
unreferenced.
Take for example the fact that banks are reportedly
preparing for an economic nuclear winter, according to a
leading European investment banker. Fears about several
recent developments, including Britains departure from the
European Union, have recently increased due to uctuating
nancial markets in 2016. Additionally, European nancial
markets fear a possible currency collapse.
Beyond that, the deadly Zika virus continues to spread
throughout Miami, despite the efforts of the Center for
Disease Control. Whats more, the CDC has stated that,
without additional congressional funding, its resources for
vaccine research and development will be depleted by the
end of the month.
Finally, intelligence ofcials recently reported that the
Islamic State Terrorist Organization continues to grow
despite losing signicant territory in Iraq and Syria, vowing to mount many more devastating attacks on our
beloved soil.
After conducting further research, I learned that I am only
one of many registered voters concerned that the news
industry has increasingly become a forum for opinion
rather than a fact provider. In fact, negative opinions about
the performance of the news industry is at an all-time high,
according to a 2011 study by the Pew Research Center. The
study revealed that 66 percent of viewers agree that news
stories are often misleading. More importantly, 80 percent
suggest that the news industrys narrative is driven by the
nations most powerful individuals and organizations.
For this reason, I applaud the Daily Journal for consistently and unbiasedly covering news stories that impact the
county, state and nation, rather than mere controversy for
viewer entertainment.
The purpose of the news media should not be to deceptively control our narratives about our world. Its purpose
should be to reference newsworthy information by which
we can each create our own narrative, opinion and insight.
The bottom line is that, like the magicians trick, if you are
not mindful of the news medias content, you may not realize your narrative has become nothing more than the narrative the industry wants you to adopt.

Stocks cant maintain gains, finish lower

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U.S. stocks wobbled and finished mostly lower

Monday as investors waited for
central bank meetings in the
United States and Japan. Health
care and technology companies
took some of the biggest losses
while banks rose.
Investors were indecisive as
leaders of the Federal Reserve and
Bank of Japan prepared to meet,
and stocks swung several times
between gains and losses. The
Dow rose as much as 131 points
early on, then fell as much as 30
points in the afternoon. Banks,
utility companies and machinery
makers rose. Bond yields edged
higher and the dollar weakened.
Russ Koesterich, head of asset
allocation with BlackRocks
Global Allocation Fund, said
investors dont expect the Fed to
raise interest rates. However he
said investors have more questions about the Bank of Japans
plans.
They could decide to introduce
more stimulus, but it could take a
lot of different forms, he said.
One of the questions ... is not
only what will they do, but what
would the market like to see?

With economic outlook hazy,

Fed likely to leave rates alone
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Again and again in

recent months, the Federal Reserve has signaled that its edging closer to resuming the
interest-rate hikes it began in December.
It just doesnt seem to be there quite yet.
When the Fed ends its latest policy meeting Wednesday, its expected to leave the
short-term rate it controls at the low level
where its been for 10 months. In the view
of most economists, the Fed wants more
time to assess the health of the U.S. economy, the risks from overseas and the
prospect that low inflation will soon reach
the central banks 2 percent target rate.
Many think the next rate increase will
come in December.
Until recently, many Fed watchers had
thought a rate hike was likely this week.
They believed that the Fed, starting with a
late-August speech by Chair Janet Yellen in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was preparing
investors for an imminent rate increase. In

that speech, Yellen suggested that given the job

markets solid gains and
the Feds outlook for the
economy and inflation,
the case for an increase
in the federal funds rate
has strengthened in
recent months.
Other Fed officials,
Janet Yellen
including Vice Chairman
Stanley Fischer, made similar observations,
seemingly part of a collective signal that a
September rate hike was probable if not definite.
Accordingly, Eric Rosengren, president of
the Feds Boston regional bank, suggested
early this month that a reasonable case can
be made for further gradual increases in
rates. That comment, from someone who
has generally taken a cautious stance toward
rate increases, alarmed investors that higher
borrowing rates were about to hit the economy. It sent the Dow Jones industrial average
tumbling nearly 400 points that day.

Banks focus on new accounts

and the fees that they bring
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK When Wells Fargo CEO

John Stumpf testifies before a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, it wont be just his
bank under fire for turning friendly branches
into high-pressure sales centers. Itll be the
entire industry.
Wells Fargo is in the spotlight now after
its employees allegedly opened up to 2 million bank and credit card accounts, transferred customers money without telling
them and even created fake email addresses
to sign people up for online banking in an
effort to meet lofty sales goals.
But cross-selling, as it is called, is the
lifeblood of the entire retail banking industry. Other banks dont face allegations of

fraud, like Wells Fargo is,

but experts say the industry as a whole engages in
high-pressure sales tactics. Once customers
open a basic savings or
checking account, banks
give them the hard sell to
sign up for even more,
John Stumpf whether thats a credit
card or a mortgage or a
retirement account.
Overdraft protection was one common
tactic, former Wells bankers said, telling
customers to open an additional savings
account to put aside money to cover overdrafts even though the customer didnt have
the resources to fund the account. Or getting
the customer to open a new credit card just
for overdraft protection.

along the first base line and threw him out

to end the inning. The left-hander punched
his glove emphatically and said something
that didnt appear to be cordial.
Puig glared back and responded, and soon
both teams massed near first base before the

The late-game theatrics overshadowed the

Stavro saves the day Bulldogs D

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Prior to the 2016 football season, MenloAtherton had traditionally run a two-back
West Coast style offense, depending on fullback Stavro Papadakis to balance the field
for star tailback Jordan Mims.
This year, that offensive scheme changed
when Bears head coach Adhir Ravipati simplified things by instituting a one-back
spread offense. Its an approach that hasnt
slowed down Mims one bit as the senior currently ranks second among Central Coast
Section rushers.
For Papadakis, however, his utility on
offense has changed quite a bit.
In last Fridays dramatic 35-28 non-league
home win over Los Gatos, the Bears saw
Papadakis carry the ball seven times for 34
yards, though he did blast through for a pair
of second-half touchdowns. Its a markedly
lesser role on offense for Papadakis, who
was M-As second leading rusher last season
with 558 yards on the year.
We have Jordan Mims at running back,
so we dont really need much more than
him, Papadakis said. So I cant be worried
about it.
Papadakis hardly has time to worry about
it as the returning All-Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division linebacker has stayed
busy bursting into opponents backfields
this season, with his most recent performance against Los Gatos earning him Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week honors.
Against the Wildcats, Papadakis racked up
13 tackles, including 10 solo tackles and
two tackles for losses. One of those tackles
was a sack of Los Gatos quarterback Kyle
Reid, who also had three hurried passes courtesy of M-As 5-11, 205-pound middle linebacker. M-As other middle linebacker, senior Christian Wiseman, was also a force
ranking second in the game with 11 tackles.
[Papadakis and Wiseman] are as formidable a linebacker crew as youre going to find
in the area, Ravipati said.
[They] are two guys that we built our
defense around. We expect those guys to be
in on plays and to be playmakers for us. And

three penalties on the next four plays, they
made their way to the 1-yard line for a thirdand-goal look with just over one minute
remaining.
Thats when Papadakis made the play of
the game. Los Gatos swept to the right side
with its leading rusher Will Fordyce looking for daylight to which Papadakis

linemen game over.
When we needed to dial up the defense on
those last two plays and he delivered,
Ravipati said.
Still, the defensive heroics are but one
dimension of Papadakis multi-faceted

South City coach carving niche as comeback kid

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In his third year as South City footballs

head coach, Jay Oca is swiftly making a
name for himself as the comeback kid.
Oca was handpicked by former head coach
Frank Moro to take over prior to the 2014
season. That season set the tone for what has
become Ocas trademark of overcoming catastrophic starts with fantastic finishes.
After dropping his first five games at the
varsity helm in 2014, the then rookie head
coach led South City to four wins in its final
five games, including a shot at the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division championship with a showdown with the Dons in
the final league game of the season, a game
Aragon narrowly escaped with a 25-17 victory.
This season has run parallel to Ocas rookie campaign, with the Warriors dropping
their first three games of the year. But last
Friday at Burlingame, South City overcame
an early 21-7 deficit to rally for a 49-40 win,
its first of the year, and against a PAL Bay
Division opponent no less.
Its just a good win for our program and
Im just hoping to continue, Oca said.
After trailing at the half, the Warriors
scored five times in the second. It was a backand-forth battle with the Panthers that saw
senior running back Carlos Solis rush for
four touchdowns and senior Jeremiah Lupe
rush for three.
Solis gave South City its first lead of the
game at 28-27 with a 1-yard run. After
Burlingame answered right back, Lupe
capped a drive with a 22-yard dash to put the
Warriors up 36-28. The two teams traded
scores once more to put the Warriors up 4240 before they recovered a critical
Burlingame fumble, then got some breathing
room on a 20-yard score by Lupe to close out
the nights scoring.
South City had just 23 players on its active

roster, compared to 44 for Burlingame. The
Warriors low turnout has been one of their
biggest obstacles this season in that the
endurance simply wasnt there through the
first three weeks. But striking a balance to
find the right game-day endurance is something Oca was able to institute in 2014; and
he was is confident the team will only
improve in this respect going forward this
season.
Were just in better shape, Oca said.
After that game the kids really focused on
conditioning. Were looking for that fine
line and we found it. It just took some time.
The comeback momentum South Citys
teams have established under its third-year
coach is the result of a bigger issue, according to Oca.

With two outs, Eduardo Nunez reached on
an infield single to second. Kershaw dived
and tried to backhand the ball, but it got by

Nunez stole second and was safe at third

City thing because its just the kind of problems we have I have a lot of kids that dont
really believe in themselves, Oca said. Ive
said it before, Im not really coaching football here. Its about teaching them that
they can go on, that they can succeed.
A special education teacher for history and
government as well as a physical education
teacher at South San Francisco High School,
Oca said the family stability of many of his
students is devolving in a hurry. Many of his
students and student-athletes come from broken homes, he said.
Oca pointed to a recent murder at Orange
Park one block from the SSF campus in
which 20-year-old Nicholas Gomez was shot
and killed Monday, April 25. Nineteen-yearold Cristian Cruz-Partida was arrested and
charged with the murder and has a court date
with the San Mateo County Superior Court
scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 27, according to
country records.
Both Gomez and Cruz-Partida are former
students at SSF. Cruz-Partida even tried out
for South City football but quit the team and
stopped going to school in the spring of
2014, according to Oca.
Our kids are either killing people or getting killed, Oca said. Its kind of crazy.
Oca said the backdrop of dysfunctional
families from which many of his players
come is one of the main factors in why his
teams tend to start slow. The home situations
shift his role from being a mere coach, he
said. He instead many times finds himself
playing the role of mentor, big brother and
even father figure.
It takes time and thats what Im combatting, Oca said. Ive got kids who are 400
pounds, who can run 4.6 (second) 40s and
can block someone. Its more a problem of
them believing in themselves. A lot of these
kids dont have the support at home. But
thats what were dealing with. Theyre
believing in themselves now and thats
whats similar to the 2014 team.

OAKLAND A big pinch-hit double by

seldom-used Tyler White in the eighth
inning and little discipline at the plate by
Marwin Gonzalez in the ninth provided
just enough to keep the Houston Astros on
the fringe of the AL wild card race.
Manager A.J. Hinchs ballclub might be
down three games, in fact but theyre
certainly not out.
White hit a game-tying double in the
eighth and Gonzalez followed with a two-run single off Ryan Madson in
the ninth and the Astros
came from behind to beat
the As 4-2 on Monday
night.
Houston remains three
games behind Baltimore
and Toronto in the race
Ryan Madson for the AL wild card
spots. Two other teams, Detroit and Seattle,
are also in front of the Astros.
The Astros trailed 2-1 going into the
eighth inning but tied it on Whites RBIdouble then they scored twice in the ninth to
keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa opened the
inning with singles. After Evan Gattis was
intentionally walked, Gonzalez lined the
first pitch from Madson (5-7) into center
field to drive in Altuve and Correa.
Correa finished with two hits while Gattis
hit his 28th home run of the season to help
the Astros to their fifth straight win over
the As.
Former Oakland reliever Luke Gregerson
(4-1) retired three batters for the win. Ken
Giles pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
Ryon Healy and Bruce Maxwell hit solo
home runs for the As, who had won six of
seven before the bullpen allowed three runs
in two innings and wasted a strong start by
rookie Jharel Cotton.
Cotton allowed one run over six innings.
The right-hander retired 18 of the 20 batters
he faced, allowing Gattis home run in the
second. He struck out six.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

This week Scullys swan song at Dodger Stadium

By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES As an 8-year-old in the

Bronx, Vin Scully would grab a pillow, put it
under his familys four-legged radio and lay
his head directly under the speaker to hear
whatever college football game was on the air
in 1936.
With a snack of saltine crackers and a glass
of milk nearby, the red-haired boy was transfixed by the crowds roar that raised goosebumps. He thought about how much hed like
to be at the game. As time went on, he
thought hed like to call the action himself.
His youthful aspirations came true at 22
when he was hired by a CBS radio affiliate in
Washington, D.C. The following year, he
joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the
Brooklyn Dodgers radio and television

Soccer brief
World Cup qualifier back to Columbus
CHICAGO The United States will play
its home World Cup qualifier against Mexico
in Columbus, Ohio, for the fifth straight
time.
After four consecutive 2-0 home wins at
Columbus in qualifiers against El Tri, the U.S.
Soccer Federation announced the decision
Monday on the site of the Nov. 11 match.
Seeking its eighth straight World Cup
berth, the U.S. opens the final round of the
North and Central American and Caribbean
region at home, then plays four days later at
Costa Rica in its second match of the
Hexagonal.
The top three nations advance to the 2018
tournament in Russia, and the fourth-place
team meets the No. 5 Asian team in a playoffs
for a berth in the 32-nation field.
The USSF prefers Columbus, with a capacity of about 25,000, because it can try to limit
sales of many tickets to Columbus Crew season ticket holders and USSF members.

booths. In 1953, at age

25, Scully became the
youngest person to broadcast a World Series game,
a mark that still stands.
Now 88, Scully is heading into his final week
behind the mic at Dodger
Stadium before concluding his career on Oct. 2 in
Vin Scully
San Francisco, where the
Dodgers end the regular season against the
rival Giants. His 67 years with the Dodgers
make Scully the longest-tenured broadcaster
with a single team in professional sports.
I will miss it, he said Monday. I know
that dramatically.
Scully discovered his lifelong love of baseball walking home from grade school. He
passed a Chinese laundromat and saw the

score from Game 2 of the 1936 World Series:

Yankees 18, Giants 4.
My first reaction was, Poor Giants, he
recalled, noting he lived near the teams home
at the Polo Grounds and attended many games
for free after school. Thats when I fell in
love with baseball and became a true fan.
Fittingly, his last game will be 80 years to
the day he saw that score in the window.
It seems like the plan was laid out for me
and all I had to do was follow the instructions, Scully said.
Has he ever.
Though the years, Scully has entranced
generations of baseball fans with his dulcet
tones as he spins stories about the game and
its players while working alone on the air. He
still relishes the crowds cheers, a sound he
says is like water out of a showerhead.
Scully credits the birth of the transistor

radio as the greatest single break of his

career. In 1958, he accompanied the Dodgers
when the franchise relocated to Los Angeles.
Fans had trouble recognizing the lesser players during the teams first four years in the
vast Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
They were 70 or so odd rows away from the
action, he said. They brought the radio to
find out about all the other players and to see
what they were trying to see down on the
field.
That habit carried over when the team
moved to Dodger Stadium. Fans at the games
held radios to their ears and those not present
listened from home or the car, allowing
Scully to connect generations of families
with his words.
God has been so good to me to allow me to

OTL

I think the big thing was the momentum shifts, Ahoia said. We made a lot of
mistakes but Im glad of how hard we
fought.
CSM jumped out to a 31-21 lead in the
opening minute of the fourth quarter on an
explosive 97-yard touchdown return by
Rahsaan Fontenette. Explosive kickoff
returns in recent memory have come courtesy of 2015 All-American kickoff returner
Ramiah Marshall, who actually levied the
clinching block just inside the 30-yard
line on Fontenettes big touchdown return.
Midway through the fourth quarter, however, a fumble near mideld by Marshall
gave Fresno second life. The resulting
Rams drive was a gritty one. But on the
seventh play of the drive, including a 15yard pass completion by quarterback
Andrew Zimmerman on fourth-and-10,
Zimmerman completed a 34-yarder to
advance the ball to the CSM 1-yard line.
Thats when Ahoia dug in to lead two
consecutive stops. Both were draw plays to
sophomore Nate Jones, Fresnos rushing
leader; but both were met by Ahoia. First
the 6-foot, 330-pounud freshman teamed
with sophomore defensive back Kevin
Powers to drill Jones for a 2-yard loss.
Then on second-and-goal from the 3,
Ahoia and sophomore safety Josh Clarke
stopped Jones at the line of scrimmage for
no gain, with Ahoia emerging from the
pile energized and seeming determined to
prove the immovable object at the middle
of the Bulldogs defense.
Thats all my backers, Ahoia said of
the tandem stops. Today all our backers
solidied us pretty well.
Then two things went haywire for the
Bulldogs. First, Ahoias helmet came jarred
loose in the second-half scrum, forcing

him off the eld until he could repair it.

Then, the ensuing replacements running
onto the eld caused some confusion,
which led to CSM being slapped with a 12men-on-the-eld penalty, moving the ball
inside the 2-yard line.
That penalty, all those penalties in the
fourth quarter were key to [Fresnos] success, Ahoia said.
With Ahoia forced to the sidelines, and
half his work negated by the yellow ag,
Fresno powered into the end zone on third
down with a dive by fullback Elgin Austin,
setting the stage for a Rams comeback as
they nished the game by scoring 13 unanswered points.
***
Speaking of a tradition of Division I
linemen, Woodside has another promising
prospect in sophomore two-way lineman
Christian Ochoa.
Currently making Woodside proud in the
Division I collegiate ranks is Kiola
Mahoni, a junior guard in his second year
with No. 3-ranked Louisville who also
transferred from CSM following his freshman season.
Ochoa also plays guard for Woodside, but
has been making a name for himself more
as a defensive tackle. Through the
Wildcats 4-0 start, Ochoa has totaled ve
sacks, including one of 10 sacks notched
by Woodside in last Fridays 39-9 win over
Christopher-Gilroy.
Ochoa currently ranks second among
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
defenders in the category. Menlo School
junior defensive end JH Tevis leads not
only the Ocean Division but the entire
Central Coast Section with eight sacks.

revamped CSM defensive line. CSM saw
three defensive linemen transfer after last
season, the highlight of which was defensive tackle Ratu Maleo, who departed
after his freshman season to commit with
three years of Division I eligibility he
initially committed at Texas A&M, but
then changed his mind and transferred to
the University of Oregon two weeks prior
to the start of the fall semester, according
to The Oregonian.
The beneciary in the Bulldogs ranks
was Ahoia, a grayshirt freshman two years
removed from graduating from St. FrancisMountain View in 2014. And he was right
in the middle of the scrum that nearly
proved the panacea for awed CSM performance that included four turnovers and
127 yards in penalties in an eventual 3431 loss to Fresno City College.

Cutler injured

CHICAGO Carson Wentz followed up

an impressive NFL debut with another solid
performance, throwing for 190 yards and a
touchdown, and the
Philadelphia Eagles beat
the Chicago Bears 29-14
on Monday night.
Wentz completed 21 of
34 passes without an
interception.
Ryan Mathews ran for

third quarter to break open a 2-point game.
While Philadelphia was pulling away,
Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler walked to
the locker room with a right hand injury and
did not return for da Bears (0-2).
Cutler, who completed 12 of 17 passes for
157 yards, walked to the locker room following an interception by Nigel Bradham
late in the third quarter. Cutler was seen having his right hand examined on the sideline
early in the third following a strip-sack by
Destiny Vaeao.

Raiders first-rounder Joseph tabbed to start

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA After watching his defense

give up more yards in the first two weeks
than any team in NFL history, Oakland
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio has seen
enough.
Del Rio said Monday he wants to see
rookies Karl Joseph and Cory James get
more playing time, defensive calls get made
quicker, and players to follow their assignments properly after the defense cost
Oakland in a 35-28 loss to the Atlanta
Falcons on Sunday.
Del Rio did not say whether he will take
over more of the play-calling duties on
defense for the Raiders (1-1) from coordinator Ken Norton Jr. after taking that role in
the final drive against the Falcons.
Who sends the call in is not whats most
important, Del Rio said. Priority No. 1
has to be getting our guys to stop having
eye violations. Get your eyes where they
belong and do your job.
The changes Del Rio will make for this
weeks game at Tennessee (1-1) will be to
insert first-round draft pick Joseph at safety
in place of Keith McGill, and fellow rookie
James at linebacker in place of Ben Heeney.
Joseph has had no defensive snaps
through two games, while James got some
action late against the Falcons.
I think if you dont make plays and
Davis said in early December 2014 he was
able to drive home following a cross-country
flight from New York in November that year
despite feeling loopy from a concussion he
didnt initially realize was so severe.
He took an elbow to the head during that
Nov. 16, 2014, victory against the Giants.
He missed the next four games before returning for San Franciscos last two contests of
the season.
He was reinstated by the NFL on July 30 and
returned to the team for the start of training
camp. He was San Franciscos first-round
draft choice, taken 11th overall in 2010 out
of Rutgers.
I have not had a chance to talk to A.D.
since this occurred. It happened in Thursdays
training session and then Friday morning we
were notified that he wasnt going to travel
with us, Kelly said. So, I havent talked to
him. I havent seen A.D. since Thursday, so
well see where he is with it and whats going
on. And obviously, hell go into the league
concussion protocol and well go through all
the process there. Theres a system in place to
make sure that hes not going to be put in
harms way, so well see how that goes.

youre in there, you leave

the door open for other
guys to get opportunities
to play, Del Rio said.
At the end of the day,
were just looking for
production.
The defense has had little of that so far this season, allowing 507 yards
Karl Joseph
in a season-opening 3534 win at New Orleans
and 528 in the loss to the
Falcons. Oakland is the
first team since the 1967
Falcons to open the season allowing at least 500
yards in two straight
games, and the 1, 035
total yards allowed are
the most after two games
Cory James
since at least 1940,
according to Pro Football Reference.
The Raiders have allowed opponents to
complete 71.1 percent of their passes, are
giving up 8.0 yards per play, and have just
two sacks through two games.
While Oakland has faced two top quarterbacks in Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, has
been missing defensive lineman Mario
Edwards Jr., and has been breaking in new
starters in cornerback Sean Smith, safety
Reggie Nelson, linebacker Bruce Irvin and
defensive lineman Jihad Ward, Del Rio is

not seeking excuses.

There are a lot of different alibis that are
possible, he said. Im not really interested in alibis. For us, were looking for
answers. Were all accountable. It starts
with me. ... Well get this thing headed in
the right direction on defense.
There were issues beyond the defense. The
special teams allowed a 73-yard punt return
by Eric Weems that set up a score, and the
offense failed to convert a key fourth-and-2
late in the game that Del Rio would like to
have run differently.
After an apparent tying 51-yard touchdown to Amari Cooper was called back
because Cooper went out of bounds before
making the catch, the Raiders went for it
with a run to rookie Jalen Richard that
gained only 1 yard. Del Rio said he should
have used one of his bigger backs like
Latavius Murray or Jamize Olawale on the
play, but didnt want to burn a timeout to
make the change.
Weve got a couple of hammerheads who
might have been a little better between
Maze and Latavius, he said. We come out
of there saying Id like to have that one
back.
No t e s : RT Menelik Watson (groin)
worked out Monday, but Del Rio didnt
know whether hed be able this week. ... CB
David Amerson left the game early with a
concussion and Del Rio will know more
about his status for this week on Wednesday.

Seahawks fined for excessive contact

NFL brief

NEW YORK Seattle coach Pete Carroll

has been fined $200,000, the Seahawks have
been fined $400,000 and will lose a fifthround draft choice for violating the NFLs
work rules on contact in the offseason.
The Seahawks will forfeit the draft pick in
2017 and also lose a week of organized team
activities for allowing excessive contact in
an OTA on June 6. That is prohibited by the
labor agreement with the players union.
Seahawks players will be paid for the can-

celled sessions in 2017.

The league on Monday cited Carroll as
responsible for maintaining appropriate
control over practices and intervening if prohibited conduct occurs.
The decision was made after the league and
the NFL Players Association independently
reviewed the on-field practice video for June
6. Both sides agreed the Seahawks violated
the no live contact rules.

came to pass and then giving me 67
years to enjoy every minute of it.
Thats a pretty large thanksgiving
day for me.
The Dodgers plan to honor their
second-longest tenured employee
(behind former manager Tom
Lasorda) starting Tuesday night with
a Scully bobblehead giveaway.
Friday is an appreciation day for
Scully with a pregame ceremony featuring speakers from his career and a
postgame fireworks show set to the
top calls of his career.
The first 50,000 fans at Saturdays
game against Colorado will receive a
limited edition solid bronze coin. On
the front is an image of Scully with
his signature greeting of Its time
for Dodger baseball.
In San Francisco, the Giants will
honor Scully at his final game. Two
Bay Area TV stations will carry an
inning of his broadcast as stations in
other cities have done this season.
All the hoopla is a little embarrassing to Scully, who reluctantly
allowed the Dodgers to rename the
street leading to the stadiums main
gate in his honor in April.
Ive never wanted to get out in

front of the game, he said.

Scully was adamant about not having an extended farewell. To his surprise and delight, players and managers have come to him. Throughout
the season, theyve made the long
trek from the visiting clubhouse in
right field to his fifth-floor broadcast
booth in the press box named for
him, bringing gifts.
He is just a different human
being, Cubs manager Joe Maddon
recently said. Thats like the window to the world up there, just sitting
in his booth. He is really kind and
gracious. You have to be all of that to
survive that many years and you have
to be good.
At the start of each series, the
umpires turn to face Scullys booth
and tip their caps to him.
Im deeply touched and overwhelmed with gratitude, he said.
For the last time at home on
Sunday, Scully will open his broadcast with the same reassuring greeting: Hi everybody, and a very pleasant good afternoon to you wherever
you may be.
I dont think Im going to stress
anything about me, he said. I will
concentrate on Denver as if theyre
challenging the Dodgers for first
place. I think Ill be OK.
When he walks away next month,
Scully will go home to his wife,
Sandi, and delight in the company of
his 16 grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Hell still watch some
baseball because a couple of his
grandsons play.

MDs strengthen advice against

codeine for kids coughs, pain
By Lindsey Tanner

sleep apnea a common condition involving breathing pauses

while sleeping. The condition has
been linked with obesity and Cote
said children with sleep apnea are
particularly
vulnerable
to
codeine-related breathing difficulties.
The academy report cites an
FDA review that found 21 codeinerelated deaths in children younger
than 12 and 64 cases of severe
breathing problems over five
decades.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The American

Academy of Pediatrics has
strengthened its warnings about
prescribing codeine for children
because of reports of deaths and
risks for dangerous side effects
including breathing problems.
The academys advice, published
in a report Monday in its medical
journal, Pediatrics, mirrors warnings from the Food and Drug
Administration about using
codeine for kids coughs or pain.
Studies suggest it is still commonly prescribed by doctors and
dentists despite the risks and lack
of evidence that it works to relieve
coughs.
Doctors and parents should
choose another remedy when possible, including acetaminophen
and ibuprofen for pain and simple
remedies such as ice or popsicles
after tonsillectomies, said Dr.
Charles Cote, a Boston anesthesiologist and coauthor of the report.
Maybe a little pain is better
than the alternative, he said.

counter cough syrups and as a
painkiller, particularly after surgery.
But the report notes that a rare
genetic variation makes some
people metabolize it too quickly,
potentially resulting in excessive
sleepiness and difficulty breath-

ing. A different genetic variation

makes the drug ineffective for
pain relief in as many as a third of
patients.
It is available by prescription,
including in cough syrup sold in
pharmacies in 28 states, Cote
said.

THE RISKS
Codeine has often been prescribed for pain relief after tonsillectomies but the FDA has advised
against this use. These operations
are sometimes recommended to
treat enlarged tonsils that cause

Better education of parents and

doctors is needed, along with
additional research on risks and
benefits of codeine and non-opioid painkillers for children, the
report says.
A previous academy report
highlighted codeines risks and
lack of benefit in treating coughs.
The new report is more comprehensive, adding concerns about
using codeine for pain along with
information on deaths.
Opioid drug safety issues and
the need for better opioid research
in children were among topics
raised last week at a two-day FDA
advisory committee meeting.

Everybody is trying to figure out whats the

A range of ideas from a hosting a block

need to be coordinated based on what the
owners prefer, Mancera said.
As Pescaderos community resource center, Puente will be assisting the employees

expected a community meeting could be

expressed sincere concerns about their

preliminary list identified 19 employees,

most of whom reside in Pescadero.
Nestled amongst San Mateo Countys
agricultural lands, Mancera said the store
hosted weekly farmers markets and various
community events.
The country store was first reported to
have caught fire around 5:30 a.m. Sunday
morning in Pescaderos historic downtown.
The cause of the blaze remains under
investigation and authorities are still trying to rule out potential causes, including
whether it was accidental or arson, said Cal
Fire Deputy Chief Jake Hess.
Its also not yet clear when the fire started
as it had spread to the roof by the time emergency responders arrived. Crews remained
on scene putting out smoldering hot spots
for more than 12 hours and construction
equipment was brought it to level most of
the remaining structure, which could have
been considered a danger to the community,
Hess said.
The entire site, including a large outdoor
seating area, was fenced off after the blaze

destroyed the building. In a town without a

large chain grocery store, the Pescadero
Country Store along with a neighboring
bakery served as vital shopping destinations for locals.
Pescadero is rich in history with businesses such as Duartes Tavern having been
there for over 100 years. The rural town is
also a popular destination for tourists and
Hess said the effects of the damage rippled
through the community and beyond.
This is a huge loss to not only the
Pescadero community, but to the greater
Bay Area with people coming from all over
the state and the world for that matter, Hess
said. The store was kind of the center of
town, literally on the street as well as a
gathering place for the community. It was a
huge loss to the community as a gathering
point and as a fixture in the Bay Area. Were
just as devastated and our hearts go out to
everybody.
Owners Cindy and Steve Simms were
reportedly out of town when the fire broke
out and Hess said fire crews turned the scene

over to the family and their insurance company Monday afternoon.

The Simms could not be reached for comment.
Between the loss of the structure and its
contents, Hess estimates the fire caused
upwards of $1 million worth of damage.
It wasnt yet clear what type of efforts
were underway to consider reconstructing
the building. Mancera said Puente will be
discussing with the owners how to best support the family business and their employees.
Shes a very caring employer and she is
just thinking about how to support her people and thats the first thing she wants to
focus on, so yeah, many of them are going
to have to figure out a different opportunity
for work, Mancera said. People want to
know how to best support them. Theres a
lot going on and I think what were trying
to do next is see that all of those efforts get
coordinated so we can do something as a
community. But it all depends on [the
owner] and what she needs.

In Zika-stricken Miami,
aerial pesticide spray
adds to residents fears
By Jason Dearen and Jennifer Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. In the only U.S.

city confirmed to have mosquitoes carrying
the Zika virus, some residents say theyd
rather be bitten than be exposed to droplets
of chemicals sprayed from planes to kill the
bugs.
No assurances from health officials would
calm some 200 people packing a Miami
Beach
City
Commission
meeting
Wednesday. They cursed elected officials and
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention for mixed messages about aerial
spraying over South Beach and refusing to
detail all locations where adult mosquitoes
have been isolated with the virus.
At first they said they couldnt do aerial
spraying, but then they said yes, said Sadie
Kaplan, a fitness trainer who fled her home
twice to avoid the spraying. Pick a side.
Dont flip-flop.
Some argued the mild flu-like illness that
Zika causes in most people doesnt warrant
aggressive pesticide use, even booing a doctor presenting evidence of Zika-related birth
defects to city commissioners.
I dont want to be sprayed with pesticides
for what I believe is a hoax, said Kiro Ace,
a graphic designer who was shirtless but
wore a gas mask as he joined protesters
chanting, If youre going to spray, we want
a say!
At issue is the use of naled, an insecticide
sprayed since the 1950s for mosquito control in the U.S. Its currently being used in
Miami Beach at levels deemed safe by the
CDC and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. Its banned from personal use in
homes, but the EPA says theres no evidence
it causes cancer.
An EPA fact sheet on naled says people
exposed to high concentrations can experience nausea, dizziness and confusion. At

extremely high concentrations it can be

fatal. Ten naled-related calls have been
reported to the Florida Poison Control
Information Network since Aug. 1, but
theres no confirmation of any pesticide
exposure or illness, Florida Department of
Health spokeswoman Mara Gambineri said
in an email.
EPA said a review of its records found only
a handful of cases over the past 15 years
where naled harmed people. EPA said the
majority of incidents included minor burns,
skin irritation or headaches with no deaths.
Agency spokeswoman Nancy Grantham said
the numbers are low, considering Florida
sprayed about 338,000 pounds of naled on
about 6 million acres in 2014.
Not everyone in the community agreed
that naled should be ruled out, and on Friday
officials confirmed a fifth mosquito sample
was found with Zika in the same area of
Miami Beach.
Dr. Christine Curry, a University of Miami
OB-GYN who is treating Zika-infected
women in the affected area, reminded the
skeptical audience that theres real health
risk.
There are four women I have spoken to in
the last several weeks who have not left
Florida and who are suspected to have gotten
their infection in our community, she said
to boos and jeers. I frankly dont care which
compound we decide to use or not use for
mosquito control. I care that we choose an
option that this community agrees on.
However, naled use can harm the environment. About 2 million honeybees died last
month in South Carolina after some beekeepers werent notified about aerial spraying, the South Carolina Department of
Pesticide Regulation confirmed.
Puerto Ricos governor has refused to
authorize the CDC to use naled to fight Zika
there, despite widespread infections on the
island, amid outrage over its potential effects

on people and wildlife.
Officials did say children should stay
inside during spraying.
We dont think this poses a big risk, but
people need to avoid unnecessarily being
exposed to it. If aerial applications are occurring ... dont let your kids out to play, said
Jack Housenger, director of EPAs Office of
Pesticide Programs. If toys are outside, be
sure to wash them off. Use common sense.
So far, no beekeepers or conservationists
have complained about naled spraying over
Miamis Wynwood district last month and
over South Beach since last week, MiamiDade County mosquito control spokeswoman Gayle Love said in an email.
Florida health officials say those are the
only areas where mosquitoes have been
actively transmitting the Zika virus.
Aggressive pesticide spraying could extend
beyond the urban neighborhoods, though, if
another outbreak is confirmed elsewhere.
The only beekeeper registered in Miami
Beach, attorney Darius Asly, said hes still
concerned about the governments handling
of the fight against Zika. He wants better
coordination among agencies.

Still, hes prepared to lose bees to help

protect people from Zika.
If I must lose my bees in order to prevent
that some poor mommy should have a sick
child - Id have to be a real jerk to be opposed
to that, Asly said.
City commissioners appear to be listening, even though they admit naled may be
their most effective tool. Amid the shouts at
Wednesdays meeting, they passed two resolutions urging county and state officials to
investigate alternative mosquito-control
methods.
Spraying in South Beach is scheduled to
continue this weekend. City officials said
they didnt want it, but their hands were tied
by a public health emergency declared by
Gov. Rick Scott in February.
Florida health officials now have reported
650 travel-related infections, 86 infections
involving pregnant women and 77 cases of
Zika contracted within the state.
Were getting sprayed because the rest of
the country sees this as a public health
threat, Miami Beach Commissioner Kristen
Rosen Gonzalez said. Were getting sprayed
whether we want to or not.

BLIND
Continued from page 1
Lisa Ells, an attorney representing
Gump and Johnson, said she believed
the agreement was a landmark step to
assuring all local residents have adequate privacy when casting their ballots.
The litigation and settlement is a
process toward moving forward to
make sure blind and visually impaired
voters dont get left behind, she said.
Deputy county counsel Glenn Levy
expressed a similar sentiment.
Mark Church, the countys chief
elections officer, and the county are
excited to be in collaboration with the
plaintiffs on this, as it is a great step
forward for all the voters, he said.
While using the software downloaded onto a personal computer in
tandem with screen-reading technology, visually impaired residents will no
longer need the assistance of another
sighted person to read and cast their
vote on an absentee ballot, which the
lawsuit had alleged was tantamount to
a violation of state and federal voting
laws.
Given the rise in popularity of voting by mail, Ells said the agreement
addresses a growing concern throughout the blind community regarding the
ability to preserve confidentiality
when participating in the democratic
process.
Attorneys hired by the California
Council of the Blind filed a preliminary injunction earlier this year seeking an immediate resolution to their

LIBRARY
Continued from page 1
But the county responded that it is
time for the Law Library, which turns
100 this year, to explore other less
expensive models for delivering services such as expanded use of online
tools Westlaw and LexisNexis.
Per state law, California County Law
Libraries are funded by a portion of a
litigants fee on their first filing in
court, whether a complaint or answer,
which amounts to $38.50 per filing. A
small claims court filing, however,
only generates $3 for the libraries.
The San Mateo County Law Librarys
income in 2010-11 was $841,000 but
dropped to $549,544 for the 2014-15
fiscal year, according to library
Director Andrew Gurthet.

legal challenge so as to assure the concerns of their clients would be

addressed by the fall election.
Ells though said both sides agreed it
would likely be impossible for the
county to fully implement the new
system by the November election, so a
deadline next year was seen as a reasonable compromise.
We are certainly disappointed it
couldnt occur more quickly but we are
committed to working together and are
pleased the county and state are committed to expediting the process, she
said.
County officials are dedicated to
finding a swift resolution too, said
Levy.
We dont know how long this will
take, and we dont know if there will be
implementation challenges, he said.
But we are committed to having
something in place by November
2017.
He said officials will move ahead
with a request for proposals from companies offering the service, before
Gurthet has been forced to suspend
updating the librarys book collection, layoff four part-time employees,
cut evening and weekend hours and
suspend some of its electronic databases to reduce the budget.
The library has had to dip into its
reserves to cover recent budgets,
Gurthet previously told the Daily
Journal.
In 2014-15, the library was funded
through 14,165 filings, the lowest
number of filing since 1974.
In 1988, the library was funded by a
record number of filings at 27,800.
It is unclear why there is a drop but
there is speculation, Gurthet previously said.
Some theories include that more
people are opting to take the mediation or arbitration route rather than
solving disputes through the courts.
Court consolidation, the increase of

ultimately selecting one and then

going before state officials for certification that such a program is acceptable.
County officials had said previously
they were compassionate to the issues
raised in the lawsuit, but expressed
potential security concerns regarding
the use of remote devices possibly
opening the door for voter fraud.
Ells though expressed confidence
the software which could be installed
on the home computers of voters who
need visual assistance was not a potential target for fraud.
We are very confident that the technology that we are talking about is
very secure, she said.
The county had offered some remote
voting machines to blind residents
who needed assistance but Ells said the
devices were unreliable and suboptimal
in granting residents the type of service they deserved.
She cited remote voting software
systems currently used in other states
such as Oregon and New Hampshire as
more ideal options to be employed in
San Mateo County.
Some of the programs are available
on open sourced platforms and could
be used for free, amounting to a likely
limited implementation cost for the
county, she said.
Ultimately, Ells said she believed
the agreement marked a success for disabled voters who otherwise would have
not be able to enjoy the same access as
their fellow county residents.
We are pleased to be moving forward in a cooperative manner, and I
think all parties are committed to getting this in place, she said.
small claims limits to $10,000 and an
improving economy may also be a factor.
The county, however, maintains that
the Law Library needs to cut costs.
When the county is satisfied that
the Law Library has exhausted all reasonable means to cut costs while
maintaining adequate resource materials and services, the county will at that
point consider the possibility of providing
supplemental
funding,
Maltbie wrote in a report to the board.
The county does provide the library
its space and facility maintenance for
free, a requirement by the state.

Foundation is a nonprofit agency that
is seeking tax-deductible donations to

Aid convoy attacked as Syria calls cease-fire finished

By Sarah El Deeb
and Vladimir Isachencov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT A U.N. humanitarian

aid convoy inside Syria was hit by
airstrikes Monday, U.N. officials
said, as the Syrian military
declared that the weeklong U.S.Russian brokered cease-fire had
failed.
With the truce apparently teetering, the U.S. brushed off
Damascus assertions and said its
prepared to extend the agreement,
while Russia after blaming
rebels for the violations suggested it could still be salvaged.
U.N. officials said the U.N. and
Red Crescent convoy was delivering assistance for 78,000 people
in the town of Uram al-Kubra, west
of Aleppo city. Initial estimates
indicate that at least 18 of the 31
trucks in the convoy were hit, as
well as the Red Crescent warehouse
in the area.
The
Britain-based
Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said
at least 12 were killed in the attack,
mostly truck drivers and Red
Crescent workers. The Syrian Civil
Defense, the volunteer first
responder group also known as the
White Helmets, confirmed that
casualty figure.
Jan Egeland, humanitarian aid
coordinator in the office of the
U.N. envoy for Syria, told the
Associated Press in a text message
that the convoy was bombarded.
Egeland added, It is outrageous
that it was hit while offloading at
warehouses.
U. N. Humanitarian Chief
Stephen OBrien called on all parties to the conflict, once again, to
take all necessary measures to protect humanitarian actors, civilians,
and civilian infrastructure as
required by international humanitarian law.
The convoy, part of a routine
interagency dispatch operated by
the Syrian Red Crescent, was hit in
rural western Aleppo province. The
White Helmets first responder
group posted images of a number of
vehicles on fire in the dead of the
night. A video of the attack showed
huge balls of fire in a pitch black
area, as ambulances arrive on the
scene.

U.S.: Russia must step up if Syria truce is to be salvaged

By Matthew Lee
NEW YORK Secretary of
State John Kerry scrambled
Monday to try to salvage Syrias
fractured week-old truce after the
Syrian military announced it was
over amid numerous violations,
including an attack on an aid convoy, and apparent Russian unwillingness to press Damascus on the
point.
Two senior U.S. officials
blamed the convoy attack on an
airstrike by either Russia or Syria
and said it called into question the
viability of the truce going forward. The officials, who spoke to
reporters on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak publicly on
the matter, said Russia must take

i mmedi at e
action
to
demonstrate its
seriousness in
applying pressure for Syrian
Pres i den t
Bashar Assads
government to
comply with
John Kerry
the ceasefire.
One of the
officials said the attack had dealt
a serious blow to our efforts and
it is up to the Russians to demonstrate seriousness of purpose.
The latest developments placed
added importance on a meeting
Tuesday of the International
Syria Support Group, or ISSG,
which is comprised of countries
with a stake in the conflict and
endorsed the truce, to be led by
Kerry and Russian Foreign

Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Despite the setback, the State
Department said it was prepared to
extend the cease-fire window in
the hopes that if it held, the U.S.
and Russia could then turn to their
planned military cooperation
against the Islamic State militants
and al-Qaida-linked groups in
Syria.
Well, the Syrians didnt make
the deal, Kerry told reporters in
New York. The Russians made the
agreement. So we need to see what
the Russians say; but the point,
the important thing is the
Russians need to control Assad,
who evidently is indiscriminately
bombing, including of humanitarian convoys. So lets wait and see,
collect the facts. We need to see
where we are, and then well make
a judgment. But we dont have all
the facts at this point.

A Red Crescent official in Syria

confirmed the attack, but said no
further information was available.
Elsewhere at least 20 civilians,
including a 1-year-old girl, were
killed in fresh airstrikes on rebel-

held Aleppo city and the surrounding areas, according to the

Observatory. And Russia said government positions in southwestern
Aleppo came under attack from militant groups, including a massive

barrage of rockets.
With the week old cease-fire in
danger of unraveling, both
Moscow and Washington have
indicated a desire to try and salvage
the agreement which had

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

brought a brief respite to at least

some parts the war-torn country.
In the wake of the Syrian military declaration, U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry acknowledged
that the first stage of the truce
which called for a week of calm and
the delivery of humanitarian aid to
several besieged communities
had never really come to fruition.
Earlier in the day, Kerry told
reporters on the sidelines of the
U.N. General Assembly that the
truce was holding but fragile.
The State Department said that it
was ready to work with Russia to
strengthen the terms of the agreement and expand deliveries of
humanitarian aid. Spokesman John
Kirby said Russia, which is responsible for ensuring Syrias compliance, should clarify the Syrian
position.
A Russian Foreign Ministry
statement late Monday night
appeared to signal that the deal
could still be salvaged, saying that
the failure by the rebels in Syria to
respect the cease-fire threatens to
thwart the agreement.
The cease-fire came into effect on
Sept. 12. Under terms of the agreement, the successful completion of
seven days of calm and humanitarian aid deliveries would be followed
by an ambitious second-stage plan
to set up a joint U.S.-Russian coordination center to plan military
strikes against the Islamic State
group and a powerful al-Qaidalinked militant faction.
But from the start, the truce has
been beset by difficulties and mutual accusations of violations.
Aid deliveries to the besieged
eastern districts of Aleppo have
not reached their destination. The
U.N. accused the government of
obstructing the delivery while
Russian officials said rebels
opened fire at the delivery roads.
Rebel forces and activists say
government planes have bombed
areas that are under the truce agreement, including rebel-held parts of
Aleppo. At least 22 civilians were
killed in government bombings
over the last week, according to the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights, an opposition
monitoring group. The group said
four civilians were killed in government-held areas.
