San Carlos is the next city moving

toward charging developers a linkage

Redwood City has already adopted

the fees after a countywide nexus study

The council will receive a presentation on establishing the fee at its

The fees could generate up to $23.7

The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office
may be one of the first law enforcement
agencies statewide to
provide its deputies with

Lagging California Senate

candidate gets buzz with dab
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Californias U.S. Senate

candidates debated for an hour Wednesday,
dueling over topics from crime rates to terrorism. But it could be a brief, theatrical gesture near the close of the matchup that gets
remembered.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez has tried for months
to generate buzz in her uphill U.S. Senate
campaign against Attorney General Kamala
Harris. She finally did, but not for anything
she said.
Sanchez capped an hourlong debate with
her fellow Democrat on Wednesday by mimicking a celebratory gesture popularized by
NFL star Cam Newton, known as the dab.
Standing behind a lectern, she suddenly
thrust out her left arm, while tucking her
head into the crook of right arm, then holding the pose for a moment before picking
her head up with a flourish.
Her rival Harris initially looked puzzled,
then a smile gradually creased her face and

she began laughing.

So theres a clear difference between the candidates in this race,
Harris chuckled.
There definitely is,
Sanchez snapped back, in
a rare moment of agreement in the debate.

Officers trained to deal with

mental illness in short supply
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Many police

departments have specially trained
officers and mental health professionals whose job is to help defuse the
sometimes-volatile 5150 calls that
involve people in the throes of mental
illness.
But those officers are in short supply, and often they are unavailable in a
crisis, as happened in Sacramento and
the San Diego suburb of El Cajon,
where police encountered men with
mental problems and ended up shooting them to death.
Both cities would like to add additional resources but neither has the
money.
Funding for mental health services
has been cut, and we are responding to
more of those types of calls, El Cajon
police Lt. Rob Ransweiler said.
El Cajon, a city of 100,000, and

We cant really expect that they can

Sacramento
police
spokesman
Matthew McPhail said.
The National Alliance on Mental
Illness, the nations largest grassroots
mental health advocacy organization,
estimates that only 3, 000 of the
nations 18, 000 law enforcement
agencies have mental health response
teams like those in Sacramento and El
Cajon. The alliance is calling on more

departments to adopt so-called crisis

intervention teams, often called CITs.
Even in cities where a CIT is in
place, you have no guarantees, said
Ron Honberg, a researcher with the
alliance known as NAMI. But its
always better to have the advanced
training than not having it.
In Sacramento, state grants pay for a
specially trained officer and mental
health professional who respond
together to 5150 calls. But the pair is
limited to working in areas deemed to
have the greatest need for mental
health services.
Even departments with multiple
intervention teams still struggle to
answer every call with trained officers
and mental health workers.

Sheriff: Los Angeles County sergeant shot execution-style

LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles
County sheriffs sergeant was the victim of a calculated execution by a
parolee with a long history of arrests
who pumped bullets into his body as
he lay wounded, Sheriff Jim
McDonnell said Thursday.
Sgt. Steven Owen, 53, was shot
Sunday as he responded to a report of a
burglary in progress at an apartment
building in Lancaster.
Owen went behind the building,
where the gunman shot him with a
stolen gun then stood over his body

and fired four more

times, McDonnell
said at a news conference.
He then unsuccessfully searched
the body for the
sergeants weapon,
with the intent to
Steven Owen use it to murder the
first
responding
deputy, the sheriff said.
Trenton Trevon Lovell, 27, of
Lancaster was arrested in the killing.
Authorities said he pointed a gun at a
deputy who responded and was shot in

the shoulder before stealing Owens

patrol car, backing up and ramming
another patrol car with it.
He then ran into a house where two
teenagers were cowering before SWAT
team members rescued them and forced
Lovell to run out the back, McDonnell
said.
Lovell was treated for his wound and
remained jailed without bail. It was not
clear if he has an attorney.
McDonnell was asked whether the
sergeant, a 29-year veteran of the
Sheriffs Department, may have tried
to avoid shooting the suspect, possibly deciding not to use his own gun.

Report faults top Pentagon

aides behavior at overseas clubs
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Ash Carters former
senior military aide used his government credit card at strip
clubs or gentlemens clubs in Rome and
Seoul, drank in excess and had improper
interactions with women during business travel with Carter, according to a
report released Thursday by the Defense
Department inspector general.
The 50-page report describes in detail
two strip clubs or show clubs where the
aide, Maj. Gen. Ron Lewis, spent more
than $1,000 on champagne and drinks.
Ron Lewis
It includes conflicting statements that
Lewis made to investigators explaining the outings, and on
several occasions quotes his acknowledgement that he was
drunk or drank to more than moderation.
Lewis, whom Carter fired nearly a year ago, submitted a
written rebuttal slamming the investigation, saying the IG
assembled an inaccurate and inflammatory case based on
innuendo and had failed to find the truth.

Report: State pension funding gap at $1.2 trillion

State-run pension systems across the country were underfunded by $1.2 trillion last year and are expected to be in
even worse shape in the years ahead, according to a report
released Thursday from a top credit rating agency.
Moodys Investors Service said it expects the gap to hit
$1.7 trillion with the next round of state audits, largely
because investment returns have been far below expectations for the funds.
The report is among the first to aggregate state government pension liabilities under new accounting rules that are
intended to provide a more accurate picture of the funds fiscal health.
Moodys conclusions are similar to other recent reports
from experts in the field and Standard & Poors, another rating agency: The states with the largest gaps will have to
plow far more money into their pension systems each year
just to keep the problem from getting worse.

Debate minefield:
Town hall will test
candidates skills
By Julie Pace and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President George H.W.

Bush conspicuously checked his watch. Al
Gore got too close for comfort. Mitt
Romney strode across stage to confront
President Barack Obama face to face.
For presidential candidates, a town hall
debate is a test of stagecraft as much as substance. When Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump meet Sunday night in St. Louis,
theyll be fielding questions from undecided
voters seated nearby. In an added dose of
unpredictability, the format allows the candidates to move around the stage, putting
them in unusually close proximity.
Theres a lot more interaction, physical
interaction, says Judd Gregg, the former
New Hampshire senator who helped
President George W. Bush prepare for
debates. He said a candidate who is too

aggressive in a town hall, either with the

voters or a rival, can come across looking
really chippy, not looking presidential.
After an uneven showing in his first
debate, Trumps candidacy may rise or fall
on his ability to avoid falling into that
trap. The Republican repeatedly interrupted
Clinton in their opening contest and grew
defensive as she challenged his business
record and recited his demeaning comments
about women.
The GOP nominee has reviewed video of

aides have stressed a need to stay calm and

NSA contractor arrest highlights challenge of insider threat

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The arrest of a former

National Security Agency contractor
accused of stealing classified information
represents the second known case since
2013 of a government contractor being
publicly accused of removing secret data
from the intelligence agency.
The latest case comes as the NSA has
worked to reform security after the Edward

Snowden disclosures,
especially in regard to
insider threats.
Harold Thomas Martin
III, 51, of Glen Burnie,
Maryland, was arrested
by the FBI in August,
after federal prosecutors
say he illegally removed
Harold Martin highly classified information and stored the

material in his home and car. A defense

attorney said Martin did not intend to
betray his country.
The arrest was not made public until
Wednesday, when the Justice Department
unsealed a criminal complaint that accused
Martin of having been in possession of
top-secret information that could cause
exceptionally grave danger to national
security if disclosed.
Its not yet clear when the documents

were removed. But the fact that Snowden

and Martin both working for Booz Allen
Hamilton as contractors for NSA were
accused of leaving the NSA with highly
classified documents raises questions
about the effectiveness and adequacy of the
intelligence agencys internal security
controls. The NSA, which put security
upgrades into place following the
Snowden disclosures, has declined to comment.

Deadly Hurricane Matthew closes in on Florida

and Kelli Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People walk on a street next to destroyed houses after Hurricane Matthew hit Jeremie, Haiti.

Haiti death toll jumps as receding waters reveal more bodies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LES CAYES, Haiti Haitis

death toll jumped late Thursday after
rescue crews began reaching remote
corners cut off when Hurricane
Matthew slammed into the countrys southwest peninsula, the first
Category 4 storm to hit Haiti in
more than a half century.
At least 283 people died in just
one part of Haitis southwest, the
region that bore the brunt of the
storm, Emmanuel Pierre, an Interior
Ministry coordinator in Les Cayes,
told the Associated Press.
The overall death toll in Haiti is
not clear. Shortly before Pierre
spoke, the headquarters for Haitis

Civil Protection Agency had put the

number of confirmed deaths for the
whole country at 122.
Authorities expect the number of
deaths to rise, with mayors and
other local officials in marooned
areas reporting higher numbers.
Most deaths are thought to have
occurred in the southwest region.
Bodies started to appear as waters
receded in some places two days
after Matthews 145 mph (235 kph)
winds smashed concrete walls, flattened palm trees and tore roofs off
homes, forcing thousands of
Haitians to flee.
Those killed in Haiti included a
woman and her 6-year-old daughter
who frantically abandoned their

flimsy home and headed to a nearby

church to seek shelter as Matthew
surged in early Tuesday, said Ernst
Ais, mayor of the town of
Cavaillon.
On the way to the church, the
wind took them, Ais told the
Associated Press.
At least 12 people died in his
town, and Ais said he expected the
number to increase.
Officials were especially concerned about the department of
Grand-Anse on the northern tip of
the peninsula, where they believe
the death toll and damage is highest. The 283 deaths reported late
Thursday did not include GrandAnse or other nearby areas.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

Leaving more than 100 dead in its
wake across the Caribbean,
Hurricane Matthew steamed toward
Florida with potentially catastrophic winds of 140 mph
Thursday, and 2 million people
across the Southeast were warned
to flee inland.
It was the most powerful storm
to threaten the U.S. Atlantic coast
in more than a decade.
This storms a monster, Gov.
Rick Scott warned as it started
lashing the state with rain and
wind around nightfall. He added:
Im going to pray for everybodys safety.
As it moved north in the
evening, Matthew stayed about
100 miles or more off South
Florida, sparing the 4.4 million
people in the Miami and Fort
Lauderdale areas from its most
punishing effects.
We were lucky this time,
Miami-Dade
Mayor
Carlos
Gimenez said.
The hurricane was instead
expected to blow ashore or
come dangerously close to doing
so early Friday north of West
Palm Beach, which has about 1.1
million people, and then slowly
push north for the next 12 hours
along the Interstate 95 corridor,
through Cape Canaveral and
Jacksonville, according to the
National Hurricane Center.
Forecasters said it would then
probably hug the coast of Georgia
and South Carolina over the weekend before veering out to sea

perhaps even looping back toward

Florida in the middle of next week
as a tropical storm.
Millions of people in Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina were
told to evacuate their homes, and
interstate highways were turned
into one-way routes to speed the
exodus. Florida alone accounted
for about 1.5 million of those told
to clear out.
The storm has already killed
people. We should expect the same
impact in Florida, the governor
warned.
Many boarded up their homes
and businesses and left them to the
mercy of the storm.
Were not going to take any
chances on this one, said Daniel
Myras, who struggled to find
enough plywood to protect his
restaurant, the Cruisin Cafe, two
blocks from the Daytona Beach
boardwalk.
He added: A lot of people here,
they laugh, and say theyve been
through storms before and theyre
not worried. But I think this is the
one thats going to give us a wakeup call.
The hurricane picked up wind
speed as it closed in, growing from
a possibly devastating Category 3
storm to a potentially catastrophic Category 4. Forecasters said it
could dump up to 15 inches of rain
in some spots and cause a storm
surge of 9 feet or more.
They said the major threat to the
Southeast would not be the winds
which newer buildings can
withstand but the massive surge
of seawater that could wash over
coastal communities along a 500mile stretch from South Florida to
the Charleston, South Carolina,
area.

Professor: American killed in

Ethiopia had a bright future T
By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAVIS An American researcher killed in

a rock attack by protesters in Ethiopia this
week was a talented scientist with a bright
future, the chairman of her department at the
University of California, Davis said
Thursday.
Sharon Gray, 31, was a leader in the study
of how climate change affects plants, said
Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar, chair of the
plant biology department at UC Davis.
Shes really an always-smiling slip of
sunshine. Shes a smart, energetic scientist, Dinesh-Kumar said. She had a very
bright future ahead of her. And everyone
knew she was going to be the star in the
plant biology research area.
Gray, a post-doctoral researcher, was in
the East African country for a meeting to
kick off a research project when she was

killed Tuesday. She was

traveling in a car in the
outskirts of the capital,
Addis Ababa, an area that
has seen months of deadly protests.
Gray is the first foreigner killed in the massive anti-government
that
have
Savithramma protests
Dinesh-Kumar claimed the lives of hundreds of protesters since
November 2015. At least 55 were killed in a
stampede last weekend when police tried to
disrupt a demonstration amid a massive religious festival that has been followed by
clashes between security forces and protesters.
The circumstances of the attack that killed
Gray are still unclear, Dinesh-Kumar said.
Another UC Davis professor who was in
Ethiopia was shaken but not hurt and is
returning home, he said.

Lawmakers toughen penalties

for honor killings in Pakistan
By Kathy Gannon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISLAMABAD Despite objections from

religious hard-liners, lawmakers Thursday
took the first significant move to curb
mounting numbers of honor killings in
Pakistan, stiffening the penalties and closing a loophole that allowed such killers to
go free.
Public outrage has been growing in
Pakistan in the wake of a string of particularly gruesome slayings.
More than 1,000 women were killed last
year in so-called honor killings in
Pakistan, often by fathers, brothers or hus-

bands who believed the victims had tainted

the family name by marrying the man of her
choice or even meeting or being seen sitting with a man.
Those who carry out such killings are
almost never punished. In accordance with
Islamic Shariah law, Pakistans legal code
since the 1990s has allowed families of victims to forgive the killer. Since the killers
in these cases are usually close relatives, the
family almost always forgives them.
The measure passed Thursday imposes a
mandatory 25-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of killing in the name of
honor and bans family members from forgiving them.

No on measures R and Q
Editorial

oters of two core

Peninsula cities San
Mateo and Burlingame
will be facing a choice on two
ballot measures that seek to
introduce rent control, just cause
eviction and other tenant protection measures through creating a
rent board, the members of which
will be named by the city councils. The measures would also
charge rental property owners an
annual fee to run the commission
with a specific membership
depending on the city and all that
will entail through its life span.
For many facing escalating
rents, these measures are necessary to ensure the socioeconomic
diversity of the area. Opponents,
however, see the measures are farreaching and potentially troublesome for a number of different
reasons.
So what should voters do? The
short answer is to vote no on
both Measure Q in San Mateo and
Measure R in Burlingame. The
flaws of the measures outweigh
the benefits.
It makes sense for any tenant
facing a rent increase of $200,
$400, $600 or even higher with
no change to their rental unit and
likely stagnating wages to support rent control measures. It
makes sense for any tenant worried about their building selling
and being evicted for no reason
so that the units within can be
renovated and rented out at a
higher rate to support just cause
eviction measures. It makes sense
for any Peninsula resident concerned about the socioeconomic
diversity of this area to contemplate such measures. But there is a
matter of a problem at hand and
the appropriate solution. The
measures are not the appropriate
solution to the problem at hand.
While we do not support these
two rent control measures, we feel
deeply for the pain and instability rising rents and evictions have
on our community. It is one of
this countys saddest stories. And
make no mistake, the groups that
organized these efforts are not
going away. This is an issue with
which we will all contend for
years to come and though there
are flaws in these two measures,
they are a result of a series of
unfortunate events that indicate
the so-called prosperity of this
region does not come without a
significant cost to our very nature
and character.
While the factors in our current
situation are many, we are at the
confluence. It is unfair for one
segment of the population (in the
case of rent control, rental property owners) to bear the brunt of
myriad streams of factors beyond
their individual control. On the
other hand, it is also unfair for
the people who rent for whatever
reason to also bear the entire
brunt, which is proving to be the
case. Years and months of discussion has led us here without a true
solution merely a choice
between status quo and stringent
measures that limit flexibility and
are problematic to untie if the situation changes. But that doesnt
have to be the case if we are mindful of each others situation and
willing to listen and engage
respectfully through our current
channels of government.
So how did we get here? Many
point to the sheer volume of new
jobs in the area as the primary

driver for escalating rents, but it

goes deeper than that. First of all,
low interest rates set at the federal
level means there is less safe
investment in traditional mechanisms like U.S. Treasury bonds
rooted in the economic policies
set both during and after the Great
Recession. That means there is
more money flowing into the
stock market and into venture
capital, which means there are
more new companies financed
without having to make an immediate profit. Low interest rates
also makes real estate more
appealing since it is cheaper to
borrow money. Additionally,
there are more workers coming
into this area from around the
country and the world who let
others know there is potential
here for not only jobs, but
investments.
In addition to that, federal funding for HOME funding and
Community Development Block
Grants has essentially dried up,
meaning that housing projects
and programs that benefited from
that federal assistance were no
longer available. The dissolution
of redevelopment agencies at the
state level also removed an essential tool for creation of affordable
housing projects and programs.
Zoning and neighborhood concerns about growing traffic and
congestion also meant that office
building construction was more
palatable and easily penciled than
housing developments. Thus the
jobs/housing imbalance.
As the problem grew, city and
county officials were slow to react
since the economy moves in
cycles and there was constant talk
of a short-term correction or even
a bursting bubble in the conditions that led to this imbalance.
While business moves quickly,
particularly tech businesses, government tends to move a few
years behind the curve. In fact,
some housing and larger transitoriented developments envisioned during the dot-com boom
are just now moving to construction but to be fair, that is also
because of the larger economic
cycles.
In response, there has been a
dramatic call to action by many
local elected officials and, for the
most part, they are now strongly
on point when it comes to moving to solutions. For those facing
dramatic rent increases or evictions, in some part fueled by
greed or property owners pushing
market rates higher and higher for
the sole reason that they simply
can, this is too little, too late.
However, this burgeoning movement comes through the planning
process outlined in our local governance with full vetting by the
community, elected officials and
city staff to ensure it is the right
move for the community at this
time. It also comes on the heels
of decades of interest in creating
affordable housing opportunities
where and when possible, just not
to the level of the current need for
the reasons outlined above.
In San Mateo, where voters will
decide on Measure Q, there has
been significant movement to
establishing tenant protection
measures with a city task force
and several public meetings.

Mayor Joe Goethals has introduced an ordinance that would

provide tenant relocation assistance if rent goes up more than 10
percent annually. This proposal
has yet to be fully discussed
because of the ballot measure and
that is unfortunate because there
was a possibility it could have
moved forward already to provide
some immediate relief. The proposal came out of the citys task
force on this issue and there is
opportunity for additional discussion of ways to address concern
without a wide swath of new rules
the ballot measure describes.
Goethals proposal was still controversial as some rental property
owners dont like any restrictions
or rules, but a discussion, while
heated, can forge an immediate
solution. However, the discussion
at the city level was not quick
enough for the measures proposal, and they sought to get it on
the ballot when they saw the first
opportunity for discussion go
sideways. This is not wrong, just
unfortunate. Proponents of the
measure have boots-on-theground evidence of the hardships
many tenants are facing and are
seeking immediate remedies.
Unfortunately, there are too many
unknowns in Measure Q and while
a little wiggle room in language
can be seen as good for some in
public policy, its the vague
nature of the language that has
people scared by the envisioned
worst-case scenario. It would be
better to craft this in a council
chambers with input from all
community stakeholders and
staff, including the city attorney,
than at the ballot box.
And that is also the case in
Burlingame, whose voters are facing a decision on Measure R. That
measure is a 180-degree turnaround from the citys current policy, which states the City Council
cannot discuss price controls for
rental housing as mandated by
Measure T, passed in 1987.
Burlingame city officials have
shied away from the discussion of
tenant protections because of
Measure T, but there really has
been a certain amount of hiding
behind it.
Still, the city has a couple of
projects in the works including
using two public parking lots for
affordable housing and pursuing
additional ways to increase housing overall in certain areas of the
city where it makes sense.
Worthwhile for sure, but not
enough for many facing dramatic
rent increases. Proponents of
Measure R should have split the
measure into both a repeal of
Measure T and another measure
listing new regulations. With
that, at the very least, the city
could then begin a discussion of
tenant protection measures with
the repeal of another ballot measure from 1987 that perhaps is no
longer relevant.
Now to the point of rent control and its merits and flaws. Its
merits are simple. It will keep
rents below about 4 percent a year
as long as a tenant remains in the
unit. Just cause eviction typically
works in tandem with rent control
because, by itself, a property
owner can simply raise the rent to
get a tenant out so that is part of

the rationale of combining the

two into one new policy with a
rent control board to oversee it.
Proponents point to its ability to
create stability in the rental market, and that is true. However, it
is also flawed. It does not promote any new housing and actually provides a disincentive to
property owners to maintain their
properties since their rate of
return is artificially limited,
though proponents would argue
against that. It also provides a
disincentive to future investment
in property in an area for the
same reasons. Whether that is a
positive or negative also depends
on your situation. From a purely
economic standpoint, its bad.
Very bad. For many, property
investment is a way to save for
the future, whether it be for retirement or other family expenses.
To cap a return on investment is
not only unfair to those who have
invested in this community but
will discourage others in the
future from doing so as well.
From a renters standpoint, providing a disincentive for investment might be good since it
would cool down property speculation and the human cost associated with it. In doing so, it limits
a property owners ability to
make improvements and reduces
the quality of life for all. It is also
unfair for future renters who would
have to pay more than those
locked in at lower rates, which
could create tension within buildings and between property owners
and tenants.
Additionally, nobody on any
side of the argument actually suggests that rent control is a completely good answer. Proponents
say it is a tool to help stem the
displacement of a percentage of
our populace and that the ends
justify the means. Experts on
poverty also say it is a blunt and
relatively ineffective tool.
Opponents feel it is an infringement of personal property rights
and does more harm than good.
The measures are 22 pages in
Burlingame and 24 pages in San
Mateo. They are interestingly
both detailed and vague with no
escape clause or sunset in case the
economy turns and the only way
to change them would be through
another ballot initiative. Thats
dangerous and not good public
policy for something that affects
so many.
We didnt get to this situation
overnight, and opponents say its
simply a supply issue. That is
partially true yet there is still
construction taking place in
Manhattan and it is often pointed
to as the pinnacle of unaffordability.
So what should we do? Rather
than focus on either rent control
or merely supply, there should be
more of a joint and concerted
effort by both city and county
officials to find a full range of
solutions to the situation before
us with proper vetting and safeguards against the inevitable economic downturn. Proponents of
rent control point to the immediate need, and also the fact that
Proposition 13 provides some
security for property owners in
that they know what to expect in
their tax bill and that rent control

is the renters version of that

statewide policy that forever
changed California. However,
pointing to a proposition that
many see as flawed as a way to
also protect another group has its
own perils in that rent control
protects a group of current tenants without the same protections
for those in the future.
More to the point of a concerted effort is that the county is
looking for an extension of
Measure A, a half-cent sales tax,
into Measure K, with an increased
emphasis on affordable housing
solutions. We support Measure K
as we do thought-out and fully
vetted solutions that make sense
for the entire community. Home
sharing, secondary units, relocation assistance, new construction, renewed and emboldened
partnerships for capturing new
and older units at affordable rates,
inclusionary zoning that sets
aside a percentage of new construction at below-market rates,
commercial linkage fees for housing and loan programs for renovation of older buildings with
rents maintained as affordable are
all workable solutions that will
not just nibble away at the issue
but also provide incentives for
everyone to work together to
keep this county diverse and livable for all income levels.
In San Mateo, more should be
explored on protecting tenants
and continuing the long-held goal
of providing new housing for all
income levels. In Burlingame, it
is time the city stop hiding
behind Measure T which solely
limits the citys ability to restrict
prices on property sold, leased,
rented, transferred or exchanged
and work on alternatives to
protecting tenants through other
means while exploring current
and new ways to supply housing
for all income levels. The work at
the county level must also continue in earnest and other cities
should take note and get on board
as well. It will take leadership and
collaboration for this to happen
and it is time to take the energy
afforded to battling both for and
against these measures and put it
to arriving at the common good.
The work here has only just
begun.

With a host of leading tech companies now selling VR products,
Facebooks Oculus division is

Gunning for rival Lancers

Serra faces big test in
undefeated St. Francis

Game of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TC Lavulo returned the lineup last week as

the Serra Padres claimed their first victory of
the season. Coincidence?
Certainly not.
The senior linebacker is one of Serras
best players. And while the Padres took on
some premium talent over the course of his
four-week absence due to injury, last
Fridays 41-7 win over Sacred Heart
Cathedral is more in tune with what Serra
expected in terms of shutdown defense this
season.
Its safe to say were an extremely better
team with him on defense, Serra head coach
Patrick Walsh said.
After four straight loses to start the year
versus powerhouses St. Marys-Stockton,
De La Salle-Concord, Pittsburg and Valley
Christian the four teams currently have a
cumulative 18-2 record Serra at last gets
to see its defense at full strength against a
top-flight program as the Padres host archrival St. Francis at Brady Family Stadium
Saturday at 1 p.m.
The streaking Lancers are a tall order for
anyone. Currently unbeaten through five
games, St. Francis is riding a momentous
win after topping Bellarmine 21-12 last
week, snapping an 11-game losing streak to
the Bells in the process.
Serra is looking at the opportunity to turn
its season around. Not only does the road to
a West Catholic Athletic League title go
through the Lancers. But after going winless
through non-league play, the Padres must
concern themselves with finishing among
the top four teams in the West Catholic
Athletic League standings to earn one of the
leagues four guaranteed playoff berths.
I didnt put those guys on the schedule to
lose, Walsh said of the four non-league
losses. So, we need to prove we can beat a
team of that caliber.
To beat St. Francis, the Padres will need to
keep all three phases of the game in check.
Two weeks ago, in a 37-0 victory over

Toronto routs Texas in ALDS opener

By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas Marco Estrada took a

shutout into the ninth inning, Jose Bautista hit
a long, punctuating three-run homer and the
Toronto Blue Jays opened their AL Division
Series rematch with a 10-1 romp over the Texas
Rangers on Thursday.
Bautista, who had the emphatic bat flip after
his tiebreaking homer in the ALDS clincher
last October against the Rangers and got
punched the last time the Blue Jays played in
Texas in May, drove in four runs. He had an RBI
single in Torontos five-run third off All-Star
left-hander Cole Hamels.
Bautista added a 425-foot blast in the ninth
inning, and the Blue Jays slugger seemed to
deliberately drop the bat softly near home plate
after his second homer of this postseason.
Troy Tulowitzki hit a bases-loaded triple for
the Blue Jays. Toronto has won four straight
overall, including an 11-inning, 5-2 victory
over Baltimore in the AL wild-card game
Tuesday night.
Estrada, an All-Star this season, limited
Texas to four hits, the last Elvis Andrus leadoff
triple in the ninth. Manager John Gibbons
removed the right-hander after Shin-Soo
Choos RBI grounder ended the shutout bid.

Blue Jays 10, Rangers 1

Estrada has never pitched a complete game in
the majors and the Blue Jays didnt throw one
this season. No matter, Estrada gave them all
they needed to start this best-of-five series.
Last October, Estrada excelled to win Game 3 of
the ALDS at Texas.
Toronto had to win its last two regular-season games at AL East champion Boston just to
make the playoffs. The Blue Jays then won at
home this week when Edwin Encarnacion hit a
game-ending, three-run homer to beat
Baltimore.
Bautista was booed heartily during pregame
introductions and while he batted in the first
inning. There also were chants of Rougie!
Rougie! those were for Rougned Odor, the
second baseman who punched Bautista and
ignited a bench-clearing brawl in their last
meeting May 15. Odor was suspended seven
games.
By time Bautista led off the seventh with a
walk, the ballpark was quiet with the Rangers
down 7-0. After he homered, a fan threw the ball
almost back to the infield.
The only hit Estrada allowed in the first six
innings came when Adrian Beltre led off the
second with a soft grounder to the right side of
the infield, when the pitcher didnt get over to

cover the base.
Texas didnt have another hit until Carlos
Beltran singled in the seventh, but was
promptly erased by a double play.
Hamels, the MVP of the 2008 World Series
and NLCS for Philadelphia, threw 42 of his 82
pitches in the third. He allowed seven runs (six
earned) with three walks in 3 1/3 innings.
Ezequiel Carrera was on second base with two
outs in the third when Josh Donaldson hit a

liner toward third base. Donaldson had even

stopped running, assuming that Beltre would
catch the ball instead, the rising liner ricocheted off the mitt of the four-time Gold Glover
and into left field for an RBI double that made it
1-0.
Encarnacion then had a single on a liner off
Hamels outstretched glove, before Bautistas
run-scoring single and Russell Martins walk to
load the bases.
Tulowitzki followed with a triple deep into
the right-center gap on a ball that All-Star center fielder Ian Desmond might have lost when
running out of the sun and into the shadows
while getting close to the wall during the late
afternoon.
Melvin Upton Jr. homered starting the
Toronto fourth before Andrus one-out throwing error from shortstop allowed leadoff hitter
Devon Travis to reach.
Donaldson, who had four hits and walked,
then had an RBI double to chase Hamels. Alex
Claudio then pitched 3 2-3 scoreless innings.
When Texas had errors on three consecutive
plays in that shaky seventh inning of Game 5
last October, leading up to Bautistas homer,
Andrus had two of them. Andrus had misplayed
a grounder to start that frame, and dropped an
easy toss on what would have been a sure force
out.

Tribe tees off on 22-game winner Porcello

By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Boom! Bang! Pow! Nine

pitches, three homers, one devastating
inning.
Back in Octobers spotlight, the Cleveland
Indians rocked Rick Porcello for three long
balls in the third inning in their AL Division
Series opener. Francisco Lindors homer
capped the rampage off the 22-game winner,
and the Indians held on to beat the Boston
Red Sox 5-4 Thursday night.
Lindor, Jason Kipnis and Robert Perez went
deep in the third off Porcello, who lasted 4
1/3 innings in his shortest outing this year.
After skipping down the third-base line and
touching home plate, Lindor pointed toward
the starry sky.
If this is what Octobers like, I want to do
this every year, Lindor said. I didnt even
know where I was. I was just jumping and
screaming.
Before a sea of red-towel waving, screaming fans, the Indians got a jump in the best-

Indians 5, Red Sox 4

of-5 series against David Ortiz and the AL
East champions.
Andrew Miller, acquired by Cleveland in a
July trade for an October night like this,
pitched two scoreless innings for the win .
Summoned by manager Terry Francona earlier
than usual, the lefty struck out Ortiz with two
on to end the fifth and threw a season-high 40
pitches.
Bryan Shaw gave up a leadoff homer to
Bostons Brock Holt in the eighth that made
it 5-4 before Cody Allen struck out Xander
Bogaerts with the potential tying run at third
to end the inning. Boston put a runner on
with two outs in the ninth but Allen fanned
Dustin Pedroia on a full-count checked-swing
, his 40th pitch, for the save. Pedroia was
livid, and Farrell went onto the field to question plate umpire Brian Knight.
Pedroia had a few words for first-base
umpire Phil Cuzzi and then fired his helmet in
disgust on his way into the dugout.
Later, Bostons fiery second baseman

regretted his actions.

I went, but I just was frustrated with the situation, he said. Ill apologize to Phil
tomorrow for giving him a piece of my
mind.
Ortiz went 1 for 4 with a double in the first
game of his final postseason.
Rookie Andrew Benintendi and Sandy Leon
also homered for the Red Sox, who will start
David Price in Game 2 in the shadows Friday
afternoon against Cleveland ace Corey
Kluber.
Cleveland unloaded on Porcello in the
third, connecting for the three homers that
shook Progressive Field.
Perez started the salvo with just his second
homer in 82 at-bats at home this season. One
out later, Kipnis drove a pitch over the wall in
right-center, giving Cleveland a 3-2 lead and
sending the raucous crowd of 37,763 into
delirium. Kipnis had just finished getting a
celebratory ride through the dugout when
Lindors shot to right barely cleared a leaping
attempt by Mookie Betts.
After the first one it was exciting, Kipnis

said. After mine it was even kind of getting

nuts in there. And the third one our dugout was
kind of losing it. We played with a lot of energy. We played with a lot of emotion. Thats
the way our team goes. Weve got up and
down the lineup, 25 guys who are baseball
players who love to compete and we ride the
waves.
And that was a pretty high one.
Leons homer pulled the Red Sox to 4-3 in
the fifth. Francona, who won two World
Series with the Red Sox before coming to
Cleveland, pulled starter Trevor Bauer for
Miller, who hadnt come in earlier than the
sixth all season.
Miller gave up a double and walk before
getting Ortiz to swing at a low third strike .
Francona extended both Miller and Allen
knowing the importance of winning the
opener.
Well take inventory of what we got, he
said. Youre certainly not going to see the
same exact way tomorrow. But we wanted to
win the game tonight and we did. Tomorrow
might have to be a little bit different design.

Cueto, Giants set for Game 1 with Cubs

By Jay Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO It is October in an even-numbered year, and the San Francisco Giants

appear to be following their usual routine. The
Chicago Cubs think their time is now.
Welcome to one intriguing NL Division
Series.
Fresh off a dramatic wild-card victory in
New York, the Giants were brimming with
confidence when they arrived in Chicago on
Thursday, albeit a bit late due to travel problems. Madison Bumgarners four-hitter in
Wednesday nights 3-0 victory against the
Mets means he likely is pushed back until at
least Game 3, but the Giants have 18-game
winner Johnny Cueto ready to go for Friday
nights series opener at Wrigley Field.
San Francisco stumbled in the second half
of the season, then closed with five wins in
six games to hold onto the second NL wild
card. The Giants won the World Series in
2010, 2012 and 2014, and manager Bruce
Bochy and company feel this is their part of
the calendar again.
The moment wont bother these guys,
Bochy said.
The Giants sustained success is exactly
what the Cubs are hoping to string togeth-

er. It has been 108 years since the North
Siders last won the World Series in 1908
a number that will chase them around for as
long as they stick around in this years
playoffs but the Cubs made it to the NL
Championship Series in 2015 and led the

majors with 103 wins this season.

With a deep rotation and young sluggers in
Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, the Cubs are
positioned to challenge for titles for years to
come. They want to start right now, and the
Giants are standing in their way.

Every year theyre in it. Every year theyre

contending. Every year they have a chance to
win the World Series, said left-hander Jon
Lester, who will start Game 1 for the Cubs.
So I think thats what every team wants, not
just us. I think theyre an organization that a
lot of teams look after to figure out how, why,
how to get to that point.
Its a model of consistency. Its impressive
to see what they do.
The Cubs clinched the NL Central title way
back on Sept. 15, giving them a couple weeks
to rest a few bumps and bruises and get their
pitching staff ready for the playoffs. Even
manager Joe Maddon is interested to see how
they respond after four days off.
Yeah, were going to find out, Maddon
said. I thought we handled the last couple
days well.
One of the key moments in Chicagos run to
a wild card last season was a four-game sweep
of San Francisco in August. If this years
seven-game season series is any indication of
what the playoffs will look like, get ready for
a string of tight, low-scoring matchups.
The final five games were decided by one
run, including Chicago taking three of four at
home last month. The Cubs won four times
and outscored the Giants 23-17 this year, but
one of their wins was an 8-1 victory.

Baker, Roberts first opposing black managers in playoff series

By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The NL Division Series between Dusty

Bakers Washington Nationals and Dave Roberts Los
Angeles Dodgers is the first postseason matchup in major
league history involving two black managers.
It gives us some pride, in being African-American, to
show people that not only can we do the job, but we can do
the job better than most. Especially this year, Baker said
Thursday. Hopefully, it motivates other organizations to
get some African-American managers, also to motivate
other players that are playing now, and former players that
have managerial aspirations. It probably brings a lot of
pride across America and not only African-American people, but everybody.
When Baker was hired last November, baseball avoided
what could have been its first start to a season since 1988
with zero black managers. Roberts got his job later that
month.
In April, a study overseen by Richard Lapchick of The
Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University
of Central Florida gave baseball teams a grade of C-plus for
racial hiring practices for managers.
Asked about the bit of history he and Baker will make
when the NLDS opens Friday in Washington, Roberts said:
Its important, and it doesnt go unnoticed or underappre-

Dusty Baker

Dave Roberts

ciated, I think, speaking for Dusty,

myself, what it means to the game of
baseball, to society.
Roberts recently spoke about Baker as
a friend, a role model and said its a
lot to try to follow what hes done.
While this is Roberts postseason
debut as a skipper, Baker is participating
in the playoffs for the eighth time in 21
seasons with four clubs as a manager.
Baker ranks 17th in major league history in managerial wins and said this week
he aims to become the first black manager in the sports Hall of Fame.
On Thursday, Baker recalled playing
under manager Tommy Lasorda with the
Los Angeles Dodgers more than 30 years
ago and hearing Lasorda brag about
how many Italian skippers there were in
the majors at the time.
He says, Were taking over.
I said, What do you mean, youre tak-

ing over?
According to Baker, Lasorda then began listing managers
he said were Italian. When Lasorda mentioned Billy Martin,
Baker responded that he wasnt Italian. But, Baker said,
Lasorda retorted that Martins mother was Italian. Then,

Baker continued, Lasorda mentioned Chuck Tanner, drawing

another objection. And again, according to Baker, Lasorda
said Tanners mother was Italian. And the discussion continued in that vein, Baker said.
So we went on and on and on. There was some racial pride
in him. And he always was talking about being Italian. He
even told me to tell some of his friends I was Italian, Baker
recounted with a wide smile. And he says, If he asks you,
you tell them youre from Abruzzo, an Italian province.

Raiders turn to pair of rookie RBs

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA With running back Latavius

Murray nursing a toe injury that has prevented him from practicing, the Raiders will
be relying on a pair of rookies to keep the
ground game going
against San Diego on
Sunday.
Fifth-round
pick
DeAndre Washington and
undrafted Jalen Richard
have been splitting reps
with Oaklands rst-team
offense in practice this
week and will continue to
DeAndre
Washington share time against the
Chargers if Murray is
unable to play.
Murray who has
played in 31 games over
the past two seasons
watched Thursdays walkthrough and did not participate in the workout
while trying to heal his
sore toe.
We hope that Tay can
Jalen Richard
get back by Sunday,
Raiders offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave said. I know hes working
extremely hard at it. Theyre working with
his shoes and things like that to help him in
that regard. Well just have to wait and see.
If Murray is held out, Washington and
Richard will have to ll the void after play-

ing in reserve roles on offense and on special teams through the rst month of the
season.
The two have a combined 40 carries
between them, equaling Murrays total this
year. While Murray leads the trio with 172
yards, Washington is not far behind with
147. Richard has rushed for 144 yards,
including a 75-yard touchdown run on his
rst NFL carry that is the second-longest
scoring run in the league this season.
The backeld-by-committee has worked
well so far for the Raiders. Oakland is fth
in the NFL in rushing and third in overall
offense while averaging 126.8 yards on the
ground.
Washington, who is averaging six yards a
carry, said there are differences between him
and Richard but added that both have proven
to be effective in their limited time on the
eld.
Were both playmakers, we both do good
things and have good strengths,
Washington said. Its fun to watch him do
his thing. Its kind of just like a tag-team
deal. I get in, I do my thing. Just be ready
when youre number is called.
If there is a potential for a problem with
Murray not playing, it could come in the
passing game. Murray is recognized as
Oaklands best blocking back in pass protection, though Musgrave was quick to
point out that Washington and Richard have
done well in that facet.
Latavius is the smartest one weve got in
terms of pass protection, Musgrave said.

with its division opener. The Mustangs are
on a two-game winning streak. Over its
last two games, the Mustangs defense has
allowed a total of 15 points. San Mateo
had a pair of running backs top the 100-yard
mark last week. Anderson Perdomo led the
way with 141 yards, while Boris Mazin finished with 113. The Bearcats continue to
be opportunistic in the passing game. QB
Austin Salvail completed 5 of 9 passes last
week two of which went for scores, including a 53-yard strike to Jake Jeffries. Salvail
finished with 113 yards passing.

South City (1-0 PAL Ocean, 2-3 overall)

at Sequoia (1-0, 2-3), 7 p.m.
The South City Warriors whipped Kings
Academy last week, 40-7. The Cherokees
slipped past Woodside, 29-28. South City
topped Woodside last season, 23-14. The
Warriors appeared to have turned around a season that was going south in a hurry. After losing their first three games, the Warriors have
two dominating wins in a row. After scoring a total of 48 points in their first three
games, South City has scored 89 points the
last two weeks. Sequoia snapped a threegame losing streak with its win last week.
Cherokees QB Nick DeMarco had a big game
last week, passing for 283 yards and three
touchdowns, completing 21 of 34 passes.
The Sequoia defense had arguably its best performance of the season, holding Woodside to

Terra Nova (0-1 PAL Bay, 1-4 overall)

at Hillsdale (0-0, 3-2)
The Terra Nova Tigers were torched by M-A
last week, 28-8. The Knights were
knocked off by Mountain View, 21-20.
This will be the first meeting between these
teams in more than a decade. Despite being
known for having a prolific offense, Terra
Nova is averaging a little over 23 points per
game. The Tigers had just 238 yards of
offense last week. The Tigers defense, on
the other hand, had a solid game against M-A,
allowing just under 300 yards of offense.
Hillsdale will get its first-ever taste of Bay
Division competition. The Knights misfired on a two-point conversion to fall to the
Spartans last week. Knights QB Jeremy
Teteak passed for 155 yards and two touchdown passes, while Nate Rosas rushed for 140
yards and a score on 22 carries against
Mountain View.

Aragon (0-0 PAL Bay, 4-1 overall)

at Sacred Heart Prep (0-1, 0-5), 7 p.m.
The Aragon Dons had a bye last week. They
suffered their first loss of the season to Aptos,
49-21, two weeks ago. The Gators suffered
a heartbreaking 14-7 loss to Burlingame.
SHP posted a 31-10 win over Aragon in 2015.
After quickly falling behind 21-0, the
Dons hung tough with Aptos over the final
half of the game. Despite the loss, Aragon
is still averaging 38 points per game
which is tops in the Bay Division. SHP
was held to 7 points or less for the third time
this season. The Gators offense is averaging just 266 yards of offense per game.
Brendan Semien has been a force defensively
for SHP, averaging nearly 10 tackles a game.

Riordan in the WCAL opener, the Lancers showed
they are capable of scoring in any and every capacity.
St. Francis opened by scoring a safety, then added a
rushing touchdown, a 44-yard passing touchdown
from junior quarterback Reed Vettel to senior Jackson
Higley, a 73-yard interception return by sophomore
Maurice Wilmer and a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown by senior Garrett McCarthy.
Last week against the Bells, McCarthy added two
more long punt returns for touchdowns. And senior
running back Cyrus Habibi-Iikio totaled 115 yards on
18 carries to front St. Francis always dangerous rushing attack, a facet of the game Walsh said will define
the Padres success.
Its going to be tough if we dont stop that phase
of the game, which has been a challenge for us,
Walsh said.
The inverse may be an even bigger obstacle for
Serra. Even in racking up 41 points last week, the
Padres managed just 274 yards of total offense. Junior
running back Isiah Kendrick one of Serras only
true two-way players, who also starts in the secondary
broke out for 108 yards on five carries, including a
69-yard run.
But St. Francis boasts a formidable front between
the tackles in 6-4, 290-pound junior defensive tackle
Tyler Manoa.
Not only is Manoa a force at stopping the run, he
was consistently in the grill of Bellarmines quarterback last week, notching a key sack for a shutdown
stand after the Lancers jumped out to a first-quarter
lead. Sophomore linebacker Josh Pakola was also in
on a sack and several hurries with Manoa.
Their D-line is fast and intense, Walsh said. So,
weve been working hard on our pass protection.
Serra, of course, will look to reigning WCAL Player
of the Year Sitaleki Nunn as the equalizer. The senior
dual-threat quarterback had a modest week in the SHC
win, but two weeks ago against Valley Christian in
the WCAL opener racked up 236 total yards, including
a sharp aerial game at 11-of-13 passing for 180 yards
and two touchdowns.
And it is no secret Nunn has legs that can make
magic.
Thankfully, [Nunn] is elusive, Walsh said. That
always helps.

The Rest

Serra vs. St. Francis

Where: Brady Family Stadium at Serra High School
When: Saturday at 1 p.m.
Whats at stake: Serra has little chance for an at-large
postseason bid after losing all four non-league games
to start the year.The goal is a WCAL title, but the unfeated
Lancers at 5-0 are a major obstacle along that road.

Friday Oct. 7, 2016

FRIDAY
El Camino (0-1 PAL Lake, 1-4 overall)
at Jefferson (0-1, 2-3) , 7 p.m.
The El Camino Colts were tamed by
Carlmont, 28-6 last week. The Grizzlies
were muzzled by San Mateo, 35-26.
Jefferson topped El Camino 34-15 in 2015.
El Camino was held under 10 points for
the third time in five games. Jeffersons
quick-strike capabilities were on display
last week. Trailing San Mateo 14-0 midway
through the second quarter, the Grizzlies
scored twice to tie the game at 14 before
halftime. Despite not having any running backs finish with 100 yards rushing,
Jefferson still rushed for 204 yards as a
team, which is just off their season average.
WR Roshawn Livingston hauled in 10
passes for 113 yards, including a 40-yard
touchdown pass.

Menlo School (0-1 PAL Ocean, 4-1 overall)

at Kings Academy (0-1, 4-1), 7 p.m.
Menlo was stymied by Half Moon Bay
last week, 36-27. Kings Academy was
stunned by South City, 40-7. Kings beat
Menlo 35-21 last year. Menlo running
back Charlie Ferguson, who went into last
week as the No. 2 rusher in CCS, according
to MaxPreps.com, was held to just 22 yards
in the loss last week. The Menlo offense
was held to just 233 yards of total offense
against HMB. Kings Academys 7
points were the least amount it has scored
since the 2015 opener against Saratoga, a
22-7 loss. Kings QB Michael Johnson
Jr. had the worst outing of his high school
career, completing just 2 of 16 passes for 20
yards. The Kings defense gave up 40
points or more for the second straight
game.

Woodside (0-1, PAL Ocean, 4-1 overall)

at Half Moon Bay (1-0, 5-0), 7 p.m.
The Woodside Wildcats suffered their first
loss of the season last week, falling to rival
Sequoia, 29-28. The Cougars clawed their
way past Menlo School, 36-27. HMB
beat Woodside 28-6 last season. A 21point fourth quarter was not enough to carry
Woodside past Sequoia last week. The

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

Jefferson WR Roshawn Livingston had five

catches for 113 yards and a TD last week.
Wildcats, which were averaging over 330
yards of offense per game, was held to half
that against Sequoia. Woodsides
Marcelous Chester-Riley had 205 all-purpose yards last week, including over 100 on
kick returns. HMB running back Chase
Hofmann should go over the 1,000-yard
mark for the season this week. He comes
into the game with 960 yards after rushing
for 244 yards last week. The Cougars
scored 30 points or more for the fourth
game in a row.

Mills (0-0 PAL Lake, 4-1 overall)

at Carlmont (1-0, 2-3)
The Mills Vikings had a bye last week.
They were handed their first loss of the season, 45-6, by Mission-SF two weeks ago.
The Scots opened their Lake Division
campaign last week with a 28-6 win over El
Camino. Carlmont beat Mills 28-6 in
2015. Mills was held to its lowest point
total of the season last week. Going into
the Mission game, the Vikings were averaging 37.5 points per game. Carlmont has
won two of its last three games. Scots
running backs Charlie Haake and Devon
Sagon combined to rush for 224 yards and a
touchdown each. Both went over the 100yard mark last week.

with a 4-3 record, their three losses came to
three teams ranked top 25 in the nation,
according to MaxPreps. com No. 20
Dorman-South Carolina; No. 2 Sacred
Heart-Kentucky; and No. 1 Mater Dei-Santa
Ana, California.
The girls stepped it up and kicked it into
high gear, NDB head coach Jen Agresti
said. I think it was good they proved to
themselves they can play in that high
(level) a game. And so I think it carries over
when we came back home.
With Thursdays victory, NDB keeps its
perfect league record in tact. More importantly, having capped the first round of
league play, the Tigers seem quite capable of
running the table in their first year in the
league after transitioning from the West
Catholic Athletic League.
NDB outside hitter Katie Smoot turned in
another fine performance with a match-high
18 kills. But the senior smasher was far
from a one-woman show. The Tigers
marched out an array of attackers, totaling
16 team kills in Game 1 and 17 more in
Game 2.
Outside hitter Tammy Byrne fell one dig
shy of a double-double, pounding her way to
14 kills while tabbing a .458 hitting percentage and adding nine digs.
It has been an interesting season for
Byrne in that she has tempered her attacking to focus on other areas of her game. The
idea is the 5-11 senior projects more as a
back-row player at the collegiate level. And
she is intent on making strides to improve
her already solid defense and passing skills.
Tammy is just that ultimate great player
all the way around, Agresti said.
As an attacker, Byrne is averaging 2.8
kills per set this season, down from her 3.3
average of a season ago. Thursday, however,

she showed she is capable of throwing the

switch as she dominated from the left side.
That was a fun game, Bynre said. We
played extraordinary tonight for whatever
reason.
One of the reasons is a deeply personal
one for Byrne, whose mother died from
breast cancer when Byrne was 8-years old.
She can smile while talking about it now,
and even managed a laugh when she joked
about being bad at math while pretending to
not know it has been nine years since her
mother passed away.
Tonight was an emotional night but
we know how she feels, Agresti said.
Shes really passionate about it and I think
that really shows in her game.
For SHP, it was a frustrating night in
which the Gators fell for the second time in
their last three league matches. Menlo
School the team that took NDB to five
sets earlier this season downed SHP in
four sets last Tuesday.
NDB is a different caliber of opponent
though, having come from the powerhouse
WCAL in which virtually every team qualifies for the Central Coast Section playoffs.
The WBAL Foothill Division still features
three surefire contenders in NDB, Menlo and
SHP.
After a lopsided loss Thursday, Gators
head coach Ali Magner welcomed the topnotch competition.
Id want to be playing matches like that
all the time, Magner said.
The Gators got a team-high seven kills
from junior outside hitter Cate Desler.
Middle blockers Natalie Zimits and Alexa
Bartlett added six kills apiece. Desler ranks
second to Smoot (352) in the WBAL in kills
with 239. Zimits leads the league with a
.379 hitting percentage and in blocks with
87.
SHPs task this season has been replacing
graduated setter Lilika Teu now a freshman at the Academy of Art University
after she ran the offense for three varsity

seasons. This season, Magner has transitioned from a 5-1 offense to a 6-2, utilizing
tandem setters with senior Alexa
Thompson, a converted outside hitter, and
junior Haley Martella.
Honestly, both our setters have done a
great job, Magner said.
It was Byrne who was running the court
Thursday though. Her fluid passing was key
to NDB setter Kristine Geses big night
the senior scored a double-double with 41
assists and 10 digs with all NDBs attackers firing in double-digit kills. Senior middle Maddie Baumann added 10.
It hasnt been my main priority but if I
can get the kills Ill take them, Byrne
said. My goal is to play well at net and get
my offense opportunities. Thats all Im trying to do.

Menlo School 3, Mercy-SF 0

The second-place Knights (4-1, 17-5)
kept within one game of NDBs first-place
lead, scoring a 25-8, 25-15, 25-18 win over
Mercy-SF (0-5, 9-9). Menlo setter Selina Xu
posted a double-double with 27 assists and
10 kills, while junior Ashley Dreyer

The Bears (8-0 PAL Bay, 14-4 overall) got
another double-double from Jacqueline

Half Moon Bay (3-5, 11-10). DiSanto
totaled 11 kills and 18 digs while senior

digs and senior Kiana Sales had 10.

Carlmont 3, Hillsdale 0
The Scots (6-2, 21-4) cruised 25-15, 2520, 25-16 past Hillsdale (1-7, 5-14).
Carlmont junior Maya McClellan hit .333
en route to a double-double, recording 11
kills and 15 digs, while senior Makenna
Twisselman notched a match-high 17 digs.
Scots setter Sophie Srivastava added 10 digs
to go with 23 assists and six kills.

The Dons (6-2, 10-10) earned a pivotal
four-set win 25-21, 26-28, 25-23, 25-18
over Burlingame (5-3, 12-10) in a battle of
second-place teams. Panthers setter Edwena
Wong totaled 41 assists and nine digs,
while Caroline Smith and Natalie Ballout

as Burlingame falls to fourth place in the
Bay Division, with Aragon maintaining a
second-place tie with Carlmont.

to scoring more points and winning games.

He then had a pass deflected for
an interception late in the second
quarter, setting up a tying score for
Arizona and threw another interception in the fourth when he
stared down Jeremy Kerley on a
pass, leading to a second round of
chants for Kaepernick.
But right now the players know
there are more problems than just
at quarterback after the offensive
line was dominated for seven
sacks.
Sure I heard it, tackle Joe
Staley said. Im out there trying
to do my job to the best of my
ability. Thats what Im focusing
on.
Kelly has said that Kaepernick
is still not completely healed from
the surgeries on his non-throwing
shoulder, left knee and right
thumb. Kelly has said Kaepernick
is not back to the shape he was
back during his last good season
in 2013, but with 10 days off
before the next game at Buffalo, it
could be the time for a change if
the 49ers want to have any chance
of saving their season.

But Kelly opened the door a bit
to a possible change after the
game.
Were 1-4. Were going to look
at everything, he said. We have
to make sure were giving our team
the best chance to go out and win.
Gabbert isnt doing that right
now. He went just 18 of 31 for 162
yards against the Cardinals,
throwing two interceptions and
once again struggling to get the
ball down field. Gabbert ranks last
in the NFL in yards per attempt
(5.9) and his 69.6 passer rating is
second-worst in the league.
A week after badly underthrowing a deep pass to Torrey Smith
that turned a possible go-ahead
score in the fourth quarter into an
interception, Gabbert missed an
open Rod Streater on a deep ball in
the first quarter.
Its extremely frustrating,
Gabbert said. I let this team and
this organization down tonight

Russia strongly warns U.S.

against striking Syrian army
By Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.N. Syria envoy warns Aleppo could be destroyed this year

By Jamey Keaten and Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GENEVA The U. N. envoy for

Syria called on al-Qaida-linked militants to leave the embattled city of
Aleppo in exchange for an end to government and Russian bombardment,
warning Thursday that thousands of
civilians could be killed and the historic city destroyed by year end if
conditions do not soon change.
Special envoy Staffan de Mistura
urged fighters from Fatah al-Sham
Front to leave the city in exchange for
peace. The group was previously
known as Nusra Front and changed its
name after announcing it had split
from al-Qaida earlier this year. The

U.N. considers it a terrorist organization.

De Mistura entreated both sides to
look at my eyes before offering to
personally escort the fighters to a
refuge of their choosing, provided
they agree to lay down their arms.
The combined Syrian government
and Russian bombardment of the
citys rebel-held east has killed 376
people over the last two weeks, the
envoy said. While far fewer have
been killed in the western side, which
has a population of over a million,
presumed rebel shelling killed at least
eight people on Thursday, Syrian
state media and observers said. It
marked one of the bloodiest days in
recent memory for government-held

neighborhoods of the city.

De Mistura acknowledged that the
fighters would need some guarantees
before an evacuation to another rebelheld part of the country, but said these
would have to come from the government. He also called for the local
administration in opposition-held
eastern neighborhoods to remain in
place after Fatah al-Sham leaves, with
the U.N. establishing a presence there
to bring humanitarian supplies to the
besieged population.
His proposals marked the first major
initiative by the U.N. to help find a
way out of the Syria crisis after the
United States, citing in part the
Aleppo onslaught, suspended its joint
effort with Russia to stop the fighting.

MOSCOW The Russian military on Thursday strongly

warned the United States against striking the Syrian army,
noting that its air defense weapons in
Syria stand ready to fend off any attack.
The statement underlined high tensions between Moscow and Washington
after the collapse of a U.S.-Russia-brokered Syria truce and the Syrian armys
offensive on Aleppo backed by Russian
warplanes.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman
Maj.
Gen. Igor Konashenkov said any
Igor
Konashenkov U. S. strikes on areas controlled by
Syrian President Bashar Assads government could jeopardize the lives of Russian servicemen.
He said Moscow was worried by media reports alleging
that Washington was pondering the possibility of striking
Syrian army positions.
I would recommend our colleagues in Washington to
carefully weigh possible consequences of the fulfillment of
such plans, Konashenkov said.
In Washington, State Department spokesman John Kirby
said Were looking at the full range of options here and
those comments notwithstanding, we still have a responsibility as a government to consider all those options.
I dont find them (comments like the warning) helpful to
moving forward, to reach some sort of diplomatic solution
here. But the Russians should speak for themselves and why
theyre saying that kind of thing, he said.
Russia responded with dismay to the U.S.-led coalitions
air raid on Syrian army positions near Deir el-Zour that
killed 60 Syrian soldiers on Sept. 17, rejecting the U.S.
explanation that the attack was a mistake.
Konashenkov said we have taken all the necessary measures to prevent any such mistakes with regard to Russian
servicemen and military facilities in Syria.

Sony has a
worthy VR
experience
By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Sony isnt the first to make virtual reality a reality, but in waiting, the company has delivered a worthy experience thats
cheaper, more comfortable and more convenient than the two high-end systems
already out.
That could help boost a technology thats had a rocky start.
After four years of anticipation, Facebooks Oculus business finally shipped its high-fidelity
Rift VR headset in March, only to encounter massive delays in fulfilling orders. And Oculus still
hasnt said when it will ship motion controllers to enable VR experiences that dont require
users to sit down.
HTC and Valve, meanwhile, jointly came out with a more immersive system (with controllers)
in April, but their Vive system requires users to free up an entire room and hang annoying sensors on walls.
The goal of Sonys system isnt so much to broaden the appeal of VR beyond gamers; after all,
it comes from the companys PlayStation gaming business and requires a PlayStation 4 game console to work. But Sony delivers where it matters most to hard-core gamers. And PlayStation VR, which
comes out Oct. 13, retains the social aspect of gaming in letting friends watch on a television set what the VR
user sees in the headset.

CHEAPER AMONG THE PRICEY BUNCH

While VR can be experienced through a cheap headset like the $15 Google Cardboard or Samsungs $100 Gear VR,
those systems dont deliver the same level of graphics and realism as the Rift, Vive and now PlayStation. For one

Sonys new virtual-reality system, PlayStation VR,

is more focused on games than its competitors. The
company says there will be 30 titles at launch and 50
by years end impressive for a new technology.
Here are six notable games:
Batman: Arkham VR (Warner Bros.) is the
marquee title in the PlayStation VR lineup, and
its dazzling. From Batmans rooftop perspective, the decadent glamor of Gotham City has
never looked more vivid; just dont look down,
or you might get vertigo. The gameplay
isnt as satisfying as in Warner Bros.

ANS EL ADAMS : PHOTOGRAPHS

FROM MANZANAR WAR RELOCATION CENTER, AT THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. Fear of
espionage, coupled with escalating racial
prejudice after the bombing of Pearl Harbor
on Dec. 7, 1941, led President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to sign Executive Order 9066 in
1942, forcing more than 110,000 JapaneseAmericans to leave their homes in
California, Arizona, Washington and
Oregon. Japanese-Americans had only days
to decide what to do with their properties
and belongings before boarding militaryguarded vehicles. Internees took with them
only what they could carry to the makeshift
centers. Internees were sent to 10 remote
relocation camps, including the Manzanar
War Relocation Center in Inyo County,
California, on the eastern edge of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.
At Manzanar, internees faced a severe
desert climate where temperatures reached
up to 110F in the summer and often fell
below freezing in the winter. Within the
barbed-wire enclosed site, JapaneseAmericans lived in cramped barracks with
little privacy. Even under such dire circumstances, the internees persevered.
They published a newspaper and established churches, temples and recreational
clubs. Internees at Manzanar worked a
variety of jobs, from tending crops and
raising livestock to serving as doctors,
nurses and teachers. Many of the
internees lived at Manzanar for over three
years. At its most crowded, in September
of 1942, over 10, 000 Japanese-

Americans lived at the camp.

In 1943, renowned photographer Ansel
Adams (1902-84), famous for his western
landscapes, documented the daily life of
Japanese-Americans interned at Manzanar.
Photographs from that visit may currently
be seen at the San Francisco Airport

First lady going all-out to

save White House garden
By Nanacy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The cost of groceries is down an average of about 2 percent over the past year.

As food prices fall. How

are shoppers benefiting?
By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Food prices are falling,

but how is that translating to your grocery
bill?
The cost of groceries is down an average
of about 2 percent over the past year,
according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, including a nearly 9 percent
drop for raw ground beef and 4.3 percent
drop for roasted coffee. But how store
prices play out varies greatly, depending
on where you live and shop.
Heres a look at whats affecting how
much youre paying for groceries:

WHATS CHEAPER?
The biggest price drops are for protein
sources, according to government data; the
index for meats, poultry, fish and eggs was
down nearly 7 percent in August from a
year ago. Thats largely a reflection of how
high prices had previously climbed
because of tighter supplies.
Egg prices, for instance, reached alltime highs last year following an avian flu
outbreak that led to a sharp reduction in
hens. The average wholesale price for a
dozen eggs shot up to $2. 29 last
September, from $1.29 the previous year,
said Russ Whitman, a senior editor at commodities research firm Urner Barry.
That dampened demand, which has persisted even as production recovered,
Whitman said. As a result, the average
wholesale price for a dozen eggs was 79
cents in September.
Similar factors have affected beef and
pork, where supplies are being rebuilt after
being hurt by a drought and pig virus,
respectively, Whitman said.
Record availability of items including
pork, eggs and chicken into next year,
Whitman said, means prices will likely
stay low for the near future. Costco Chief

Financial Officer Richard Galanti said the

company expects food deflation to persist
for five or six more months.
Other items may cost more, though. The
price of fresh fruits overall rose 1.7 percent in August from a year ago, and butter
and margarine increased 2.1 percent.

SALES, SALES, SALES

Its not just that food costs are falling.
Supermarkets could easily keep prices
steady and pocket the savings. But because
of how competitive the industry has
become, grocers are using those lower
costs as a chance to run sales and promotions trying to steal customers away
from rivals.
There is a greater availability of food in
different locations, I think, than there has
ever been before, Supervalu CEO Mark
Gross said at the Goldman Sachs Global
Retailing conference in September.
Even Whole Foods has been working on
affordability to appeal to a broader customer base as natural and organic products
become more widely available.
Sprouts Farmers Markets CEO Amin
Maredia told of a rival grocery store deepening its discounts on meat as costs have
remained low, from buy one get one free,
buy one get two free, buy one get three
free. Its a situation where the winner is
the consumer, he said at the same conference.
That said, theres great variance in what
shoppers see. Grocery store operators
often adjust pricing based on what local
competitors are doing. Some regions are
far more competitive than others
Maredia cited Houston as one of the most
competitive areas.

MEAT, ITS WHATS FOR DINNER

Shoppers seem to be taking advantage of
the meat promotions. Kroger CEO Rodney

WASHINGTON MEMO
From: Michelle Obama
To: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
Subject: Dont mess with the garden.
Theres no actual memo, but first lady
Michelle Obama is going all-out to make
sure the White House kitchen garden that
she created in 2009 and expanded twice
doesnt get plowed under by the next first
family.
With less than four months left in the
Obama administration, the first lady on
Wednesday dedicated an expanded and
improved garden with the hope that it will
continue regardless of who takes office
come January.
This little garden will live on as a symbol of the hopes that we all hold of growing
a healthier nation for our children, Mrs.
Obama told a crowd gathered at the garden to
celebrate the dedication. I am hopeful that
future first families will cherish this garden
like we have, and that it will become one of
our enduring White House traditions.
The gardens size has grown from an original 1,100 square feet to 2,800 square feet. It
has a new wooden arbor for an entrance,
wider bluestone walkways, wooden tables
and benches.
Theres even an inscribed stone that reads:
White House Kitchen Garden, established
in 2009 by First Lady Michelle Obama with
the hope of growing a healthier nation for
our children.
And, to bat away any pesky questions
about how to pay for the garden, the first
lady announced private donations of $2.5
million to maintain and preserve it.
This collection of raised beds is much
more than a garden to Mrs. Obama: Its her
legacy, at the heart of her years-long quest

join the first lady on
Thursday for the Obamas final fall harvest,
bringing in eggplant, okra, tomatoes,
herbs and much more. Then, in coming
weeks, the beds will be covered with plastic
hoop houses to allow vegetables such as
broccoli, kale and collard greens to grow
right through the winter and into the next
administration.
Much as the first lady wants to see the garden endure, the next first family can decide
whether to keep it or go in a different direction.
Neither campaign responded to a request
for comment on what a Trump or Clinton
administration might do with the kitchen
garden.
But its fair to speculate that it might be a
higher priority for Clinton than Trump.
Clinton is known for eating lots of fruits
and vegetables. Trump, not so much.
As first lady, Clinton directed chef Walter
Scheib to bring contemporary American
cuisine and nutritionally responsible food
to the White House, Scheib later wrote.
There was even a small garden on the White
House roof for growing produce, according
to Scheib, who died in 2015.
Trump, for his part, loves red meat and is
proud to patronize McDonalds and KFC.

simple kitchen garden in 2009 grew into her

rather than just swivel around in a chair.
The PlayStation VRs $400 package
comes with the headset, cables, crappy
headphones and a disc filled with demos.
Another $100 gets you a required camera for
motion tracking and a pair of Move motion
controllers. A PlayStation 4 is necessary
and starts at $300, so if youre starting from

By contrast, the other systems require
high-end PCs that already cost more than
$1,000. The general-purpose laptop you
may already own wont be fast enough. The
Rift itself is another $600 without its
Oculus Touch controllers, and the Vive costs
$800 with controllers.
Of course, none of this includes games.
Theyre extra.

around the top of the head. The different

dont consider myself prone to motion sickness, but I cant handle more than 30 minutes or so in VR at a time.

VISION QUEST
The Rift and the Vive have better screen
resolution, while Sonys system boosts
more frames per second for smoother video.
But dont get bogged down on specs. The
differences are negligible.
And the PlayStation VR preserves the
social aspect of gaming. What you see
inside the headset is replicated on a TV
screen, so others in the same room can follow along. The Rift and the Vive can simulcast on a computer monitor not quite the
same as a big-screen TV.
The TV also can be used for multiplayer
experiences, with the VR user battling players looking at the screen. Sony throws in

remotes, but they get the job done of mimicking hands in virtual space.
The Vive offers the most immersive experience given that it uses two sensors mounted on opposite corners of a room. But I was
pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the
PlayStation camera. I was able to fluidly
execute a 180-degree spin as the Dark
Knight in Batman: Arkham VR.
The Sony system is also way easier to
install. You just plug it into the PS4.

A NEW REALITY

You can dodge obstacles in a street luge

controllers in the spatial puzzler Super

Despite all its strides, PlayStation VR

wont be for everyone . Besides gawking at
the whimsical animated VR movie
Allumette or streaming Netflix on a virtual screen that looks way bigger than your
actual TV, theres little available for nongaming fans. Thats a limitation with the
Rift and the Vive, too.
Even most average gamers wont need the
PlayStation VR. The available experiences
arent on par with what gamers have come to
expect from countless hours of Grand Theft
Auto or Call of Duty.
But for anyone whos been excited about
the lofty promises of VR, Sony has delivered a worthy wired experience thats comfortable for both your noggin and your wallet.

Halloween treat.
SuperHyperCube (Polytron) and
Tumble VR (Sony) are elegant brainteasers. Cube asks you to rotate geometric
shapes to fit into holes; Tumble is a
Jenga-like tower-building exercise. Both
are so hypnotic that they caused me to lose
track of time and forget about the heavy helmet on my head.
Job Simulator (Owlchemy Labs) is the
silliest use of VR Ive seen so far. It puts you

in the shoes of a short-order cook, an auto

mechanic, an office worker and a convenience store clerk. But because the simulations were designed by robots from 2050,
they have peculiar ideas about how we get
things done in 2016. (Apparently, the
robots think just about anything slipped
between two slices of bread makes an adequate sandwich.) Its nowhere near lifelike,
but theres something drolly meta about
using such high-powered tech to simulate
such mundane activities.

domestic sales growth, and Wendys CEO
Todd Penegor cited cheaper groceries for the
industry softness. Its gotten a lot more
cheaper, relatively speaking, to go get fresh
beef at your local butcher and go home and
grill it, Penegor said this summer.
But the big savings on meat dont necessarily mean overall groceries are a lot
cheaper. Kurt Jetta, CEO of consulting firm
TABS Analytics, said grocers often reduce
prices on items that bring in shoppers, then
try to make up for it elsewhere.
McMullen, the Kroger CEO, also noted a
counterintuitive finding from the companys research: Most people are saying their
groceries cost more, not less even
though that isnt the case.

McMullen told analysts in September that
people are buying beef and pork in a very,
very strong way, because of the lower
prices and called volume growth in those
areas incredible.
In other cases, he noted that lower prices
havent spurred more buying. If you think
about eggs, for an example, people only eat
a certain number of eggs, he said.
The availability of cheaper beef may even
have shifted peoples behavior. McDonalds

Sarah Jessica Parker wedded

to new HBO comedy, Divorce
NEW YORK In August 2000, a Time
magazine cover story touting singles
life displayed Sarah Jessica Parker and
her three Sex and the City co-stars
with the headline: Who Needs a
Husband?
That question could apply, in spades,
to Parkers new HBO comedy, a piercingly honest yet droll exploration of a
marriage on the rocks titled, brazenly,
Divorce.
Premiering Sunday at 10 p.m.
EDT, Divorce returns Parker
to series TV in a role that
will inevitably be judged
against her Sex and the
City portrayal as selfdescribed
sexual
anthropologist Carrie
Bradshaw.
But, odds are, only
fleetingly. Divorce
reintroduces
the
actress
as
Frances, a suburban wife
a n d
mo t h er
g azi n g
into the
b at h ro o m
mirror in the
series first scene as if
to wish away encroaching
signs of age, whereupon
husband Robert (co-star
Thomas Haden Church)
interrupts to beef about
how Frances hogs the bathroom.

Hike and Trail Cleanup. 10 a.m. to

noon. Gray Whale Cove, Half Moon
Bay. Focus on geography and history, but there are cleanup opportunities along the way. Tickets are $20.

would offer 7.4 million shares starting
at $18, above its earlier $16 proposal,
with an option for underwriters to buy
another 1.1 million shares. The additional shares and bump in price means
Coupa could raise a total $153 million
with its IPO.
Coupas portfolio of nearly 460 customers includes household names like
Toyota North America, Coca-Cola
Bottle Company, AAA Insurance, various hospitals and banks, as well as its
neighbor Salesforce.com. Its helped
companies track more than $250 billion in spending and saved its customers an estimated $7 billion,
according to Coupa.
Support for these savings is under-

Then, his back turned to exit, Frances,

fuming, flips him a bird. With that fedup move, Parker leaves Carrie Bradshaw
far behind.
I just improvised that, says Parker,
looking pleased. Im so glad they used
it!
But make no mistake, very little about
Divorce wasnt carefully thought out,
if you believe Parker. She says she and
producing partner Alison Benson spent
four years crafting the shows concept
while recruiting other off-screen talent
that includes series creator Sharon
Horgan (already winning acclaim as
a star and creator of the dark romantic comedy Catastrophe, available on Amazon Prime) and
showrunner Paul Simms
(whose credits include The
Larry Sanders Show,
Flight
of
the
Conchords and
Girls).
Then they
mo b i l i zed
a supporti n g
cast
includi n g
M o l l y
Shannon,
Talia Balsam and
Tracy Letts.
It all adds up to a
project Parker was,
well, married to
and not as an acting
showcase for herself;
at first, she had no
way at the companys headquarters, the
former Siebel Systems office building
now marked by Coupas prominent
sign near the intersection of State
Route 92 and Highway 101. It joined
the Crossroads business park area
where Salesforce.com occupies a complex next door, after expanding out of
its downtown San Mateo location in
2014.
Although it competes with other
software-as-a-service companies such
as SAP and Oracle, Coupa refers to its
mission of savings-as-a-service.
The companys applications assist
corporate finance teams in analyzing
what they pay for a wide range of items
necessary to conducting their business. For example, when a hospital
needs to order supplies like scrubs,
beds, lab coats or medical equipment,
Coupa provides information about
suppliers and how to spend more wise-

plans to appear in it.

What made it so important to her?
A lot of people I knew were at a very
interesting point in their relationship,
she explains. Its a reckoning of where
we are, versus where we thought we
would be, with people contemplating
affairs, having affairs, surviving affairs
or with marriages destroyed. I knew
women who came out of divorces feeling triumphant, and others who felt it
wasnt at all like they thought the liberation would be.
True, Parker, 51, has famously been
wed for two decades to actor Matthew
Broderick.
But even if youre not experiencing
it, divorce is swirling around us all, she
says. I felt strongly that this story
should be told because its so many peoples story.
Frances and Robert are a middle-aged,
middle-class couple with two children
living in New Yorks Westchester
County. Their marriage is sputtering yet
stuck in place. Then a seismic event
thrusts divorce into the picture.
Fortunately for the audience, if not for
this couple, theres no easy or quick resolution in sight, despite the series
seemingly self-limiting, blunt title.
Divorce for Frances and Robert, as for
others in their social circle, can inflict
itself as a protracted condition.
This would be a good time to mention
that Divorce, while weighty, isnt
Bergmanesque, nor is it Whos Afraid
of Virginia Woolf? With sufficient frequency, the prism of Divorce refracts
its raw, all-too-familiar truths into wellearned laughs. (I am divorcing you,
Frances tells Robert in desperation. I
just got to get the kids to school first.)
ly, Bernshteyn said previously.
Coupas offerings have grown over its
life span with the cloud-based applications assisting companies with procurement, payment, expense management and invoicing, according to the
company.
Financial experts praised Coupa for
helping to quench a sort of tech IPO
drought 2016 marked fewer companies going public as compared to years
past. The company has reportedly
raised in $169 million in funding from
investors to date; however, it wasnt
until recent quarters that it began trimming its losses, according to the
Silicon Valley Business Journal.
Within the first six months of this
year, it trimmed its losses by about 3
percent to $24.3 million, while revenue increased 75 percent to $60.3
million, according to the Business
Journal.

County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Brianna MaloneyAranda & Debra Maloney be appointed

Court of California, County of San Mateo,

facilities, as well as renovate existing
buildings which tax advocates claim are
aging and overdue for repair.
But Andrew Peceimer, a Burlingame resident who opposes the bond, said he
believes officials should have been more
fiscally responsible in preparing for the
more than 1,000 students who have joined
the district over the past decade.
There is a lack of leadership and financial accountability, so I cant support our
current board members handing $56 million of our money, said Peceimer, who has
unsuccessfully run for City Council and
opposed a previous school bond.
Alternatively, Superintendent Maggie
MacIsaac contended the proposed bond
funds are necessary to allow officials to
offer the best possible modern education.

mercial development has been added to San
Carlos, San Mateo County and the Bay Area
in recent years. The development of new
commercial space creates demand for new
employees, which in turn creates a demand
for additional housing stock. A proportion
of those new workers will likely require
affordable housing, which may not be available in the city, Romo wrote in the report.

The agency is currently contracting with
Direct Energy as its supplier for procurement. Eventually, PCE hopes to generate
its own power, said Chief Executive Officer
Jan Pepper.

The bond marks the third similar tax the
district has pursued over roughly the past
decade in a variety measures totaling more
than $150 million. Most recently, voters
approved Measure D in 2012, worth $56
million, paying primarily to the cost of
renovating and reopening Hoover
Elementary School to accommodate enrollment growth.
A group of neighbors sued to block the
schools reopening due to concerns the surrounding neighborhood would be overwhelmed with cars and traffic. Ultimately,
district officials and the community settled
the lawsuit, in favor of installing a variety
of traffic calming measures.
Peceimer said he believes the district is
too quick to seek more money from residents, and instead would prefer officials
looking to absorb the enrollment growth at
existing school campuses rather than build
new facilities.
Reopening Hoover Elementary School
was also unnecessary, said Peceimer, who
expressed concerns regarding members of
the Board of Trustees who approved the
project.
If there was a whole new board, I would

have more confidence we are headed in the

right direction, he said. But Im just not
that comfortable with giving them my
money, or other peoples money.
Advocates for the bond claim they have
pursued a variety of alternatives such as
installing portable learning spaces and
sharing classrooms as a means of making
the most with the limited existing campus
space, but the overcrowding has become
too severe to address through unconventional approaches.
Burlingame Intermediate School is perhaps the most affected by enrollment
growth, said MacIsaac, as the school population crept past 1,000 students and is slated to take on more students in coming
years.
That some of the districts school buildings are close to 100 years old compounds
the concerns for school officials and bond
supporters who claim the districts funds
for upkeep and modernization have run dry.
Safety and accessibility are a primary
concern, said Melissa Macko, a district
parent who is helping to rally support for
the tax.
The overcrowding has become so dire
that former gymnasium showers are being

used for equipment storage, said Macko,

while damaged windows and doors have
been unceremoniously fixed because
money for renovations are limited.
School officials have yet to identify a
specific plan for projects to finance with
the Measure M money, should it be
approved, and MacIsaac said ultimately
allocation will fall to the discretion of the
district Board of Trustees.
We are really fiscally conservative, and I
think the community appreciates that, she
said. People have faith in the board and
the decisions they make.
Alternatively, Peceimer said he believed
the absence of a map of projects to address
with the tax money raises a cause for concern.
I havent seen anything specific that
says we absolutely have got to have this
money and this is why, he said.
MacIsaac said district officials have managed revenue from previous tax measure
responsibly, and expressed confidence the
same will continue should voters approve
Measure M.
We are always doing the best job possible of spending resources in a thoughtful
way, she said.

program that requires an affordable housing

impact fee, which serves to mitigate
impacts of market rate residential development.
The city, however, does not require an
affordable housing impact fee for developers of commercial projects.
Since 2000, only 8 percent of development was multi-family residential, while 92
percent was non-residential commercial
development.

The fees may be reduced if developers offer
prevailing wages.
San Carlos business owners have
expressed concerns regarding their workforce, stating that their employees are
unable to find housing and are leaving their
positions to find employment opportunities closer to jurisdictions with less expensive rental markets, Romo wrote in the
report.
The 21 Element Nexus Study was an
undertaking by San Mateo County and 14
cities that takes into account the types of
housing being constructed, household
income, affordability gap and the link to

new jobs created when housing or offices

come online.
Buyers and renters of new market-rate
condominiums and apartments create new
spending which can be linked to new jobs,
many of which pay low wages, according to
the study.
When a city or county adopts a development impact fee, it must establish a reasonable relationship between the development
project and the fee being charged. Studies
undertaken to demonstrate this connection
are called nexus studies.

Early adopter Janet Creech said the move
will keep profits out of the pockets of
PG&E shareholders and lead to local job
creation.
The Sierra Clubs Gladwyn DSouza said
the switch will help save the environment
and move away from dangerous fuels.
This is our ticket to decarbonizing our
local grid, DSouza said.
The service officially launched Monday.
Customers are automatically enrolled in
the ECOplus option which provides 50
percent renewable at a cost just lower than

PG&E. The ECO100 option provides 100

percent renewable energy at a slight premium.
The agency provides local control in the
countys effort to combat climate change,
said Supervisor Carole Groom, who worked
with Pine to form the agency.
PCE is modeled after community choice
aggregation, CCA, programs in Marin and
Sonoma counties.
CCA is a state policy that enables local
governments to determine total electricity
demand within their jurisdictions to buy
alternative energy supplies.
San Mateo County is the fourth in the
state to start its own power buying agency.

Customers are automatically enrolled for

a 50 percent renewable option and may go
up to a 100 percent option, which will be
delivered by PG&E on its transmission
lines. They also have the option to opt out
and return to PG&E. The bills will still
come from PG&E and will remain the same
with the exception of one line that shows
the source of generation, which will be
PCE, Pepper said.
