5K RUN FOR MILLBRAE
State allocates previously delayed funds,

but neighbors fear construction impacts

More than 350 runners and walkers participated in the 5K Fun Run for Millbrae Saturday, Oct. 29. Proceeds from
the event goes to raise funds for the Millbrae Community Center that burned down in July. The run was
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Millbrae with collaborative efforts from the Millbrae Community Foundation,
the city of Millbrae, the Millbrae Elementary School District and many community sponsors.
The long-awaited reconstruction

of the debatably dangerous highway interchange at State Route 92
and El Camino Real is proceeding
after state officials voted to offer
up previously delayed funding.
Realigning the juncture of these
two major state-owned highways
in San Mateo received the green
light in October when the
California
Transportation
Commission approved its final $5
million funding component.
The city of San Mateo and
Caltrans have long planned the

$22 million interchange and with

Bay mussels have toxin

Study reveals it could cause liver damage
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
San Francisco Bay mussels contain high

levels of a toxin that can cause liver damage, according to a study announced last
week from the University of California at
Santa Cruz.
The toxin called microcystin is produced
by a type of cyanobacteria, or blue-green
algae, that thrives in warm, nutrient-rich
water. It has also been found in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, which
flow into the San Francisco Bay Delta, and
in Lake Anza and Lake Temescal.
Researchers in UC Santa Cruz professor of
ocean health Raphael Kudelas lab tested
mussels collected from five sites in the Bay,
and did experiments with mussels and oysters in tanks to test how quickly the shellfish take up the toxin, as well as how long it
takes to clear it from their tissue.
We found that this freshwater toxin accumulates in shellfish, both mussels and oysters, and that in San Francisco Bay, the
toxin levels in some mussels exceed the recommended guidelines for consumption by
quite a bit, Kudela said in a statement.
Microcystin was also found in commercial oysters from Tomales Bay, but at low
enough levels that it did not pose a risk,
according to university officials.
There is monitoring of shellfish for
marine-derived toxins, but because this is a
freshwater toxin, no one has been looking
Comment on
or share this story at
for it. Now it seems microcystin is something we should be monitoring as well,
environmental scientist Corinne Gibble,
who worked on the study as a graduate student, said in a statement.
Typically a state quarantine on harvesting
mussels for human consumption is put into
place from May to October.
The agencies have been very responsive.
There is potential for this toxin to affect
humans, but most of our samples are still
below the recommended limits for human
consumption, so people shouldnt panic
and think they cant eat shellfish, Kudela
said.
However, sea otters and other marine
mammals are at risk because of the large
amount of shellfish they eat.
This really highlights the connectivity
between what people do on land and what
happens in the ocean. A lot of shellfish
farms are downstream from freshwater
sources, so we want to raise awareness of
this issue, Kudela said.
The rains help by flushing things out.
Warm, dry conditions favor these blooms,
so weve been seeing more of them lately
than we would without the drought, he said.

Do candy, soda makers belong

at a dietitians conference?
By Candice Choi
BOSTON The blinking game show

wheel spins past logos for Triscuits, Wheat
Thins and Honey Maid before the needle settles at Fig Newtons.
Newtons are made with real fruit and
whole grains. True or false? a Nabisco representative asks onlookers, who are among
10,000 attendees at a conference where
dietitians can earn credits for continuing
education.
The answer, the Nabisco representative
says, is true.
Among the hundreds of exhibits, many
focused on items like beans, eggs, strawberries and leafy greens. But big packaged food
makers and trade groups also had a presence,
emblematic of the complex ties between the
food industry and nutritionists and a push by
critics to bring greater awareness to corporate influence on the profession.
PepsiCo brought a vending machine
stocked with Quaker bars, Naked juices and
reduced-fat Doritos. Unilever showcased
Hellmanns spreads and offered samples of
Breyers ice cream. Nestle displayed bottled
water, Nesquik chocolate drinks and
Butterfingers candies. A Sugar Association
pamphlet suggested sprinkling sugar on
vegetables for picky children.
While the influence of food corporations
on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
and its 75,000 members has come under

greater scrutiny, some see growing sensitivity to ethical and conflict-of-interest issues.
Its been an important topic in the pharmaceutical world, and now its becoming a
much more important topic in the nutrition
world, said David Wiss, a member of
Dietitians for Professional Integrity, which
has called on the academy to show greater
independence from the food industry.
Wiss feels there is a huge, inherent
industry influence some may not realize
exists. He said a bigger problem than the
expo hall is the influence that sponsors
have with continuing education sessions for
dietitians, and recalled a previous class
where he was taught about salt by Frito-Lay.
Lucille Beseler, president of the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics, said in an email
that academy members know the difference
between marketing and science, and use
their professional judgment to evaluate
exhibitors products and programs.
She said nutrition professionals do not
dictate what people eat, and must therefore
be familiar with all foods and products in the
marketplace.
The academy noted that sessions sponsored by companies or industry groups were
distinct from regular educational sessions
because they required a $10 donation from
session attendees to the academys foundation, which provides scholarships and
research grants.

Election Day promises

to be a real marathon
By Nancy Benac
WASHINGTON Grab some toothpicks to prop open your eyelids

because Election Day promises to be a
marathon.
Polls open before dawn on Tuesday,
Nov. 8, and it will be Wednesday on
the East Coast before the last votes are
cast.
It will be strictly a spectator sport
for the estimated 46 million people
who are likely to vote in advance.
Oregon, Washington and Colorado are
mostly vote-by-mail states.
The
presidential
nominees,
Democrat Hillary Clinton and
Republican Donald Trump, are expected to vote the old-fashioned way,
trooping to their polling places in
New York and undoubtedly trailed by
cameras.
Their running mates, Tim Kaine of
Virginia and Mike Pence of Indiana,
are likely to vote at home, later heading for New York to team up with their
principals after spending much of the
last three months promoting their
respective tickets on their own.
Its a curtain-closer on one doozy of
a presidential election and on House
and Senate races that will determine
which party controls Congress for the
next two years.
A look at how Election Day

unfolds, using Eastern time:
6 a. m. : The earliest polls open in
scattered states along the East Coast.

Already, though, a few hardy folk in
three tiny New Hampshire towns will
have gathered just after midnight to
win bragging rights as the first to
cast Election Day ballots.
7 p. m. : Polls close in Georgia,
Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina,
Vermont and Virginia. This will be
the first opportunity to read tea
leaves about how things are going.
Watch Virginia for an early indication
in the presidential contest. Watch
Indiana for an early indicator in the
Senate; if Evan Bayh can manage a
comeback, thatll be a good sign for
Democrats who are hoping to retake
the Senate.
7 :3 0 p. m. : North Carolina, Ohio
and West Virginia polls close. North
Carolina is a good state to watch on
the presidency. It tends to be quickcounting but the race is also close.
On the Senate side, if Democrat
Deborah Ross wins her Senate race
there, it will help put her party on
track to regain the Senate. Currently,
the Senate has 54 Republicans, 44
Democrats and two independents who
caucus with the Democrats.
8 p. m. : Polls close in 16 states and
the District of Columbia, including
New
Hampshire,
Florida
and
Pennsylvania. Lots of states crucial to
control of the Senate are among the 8
p.m. states, too. If Democrats were to
win in Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Missouri and New Hampshire, as well
as Indiana, that would point them
toward possible control of the chamber.

8 :3 0 p. m. : Arkansas chimes in,
considered a solid state for Trump.
9 p. m. : Polls close in 14 states,
including Arizona, Colorado, Texas
and Wisconsin. Among the 9 p.m.
states, Wisconsin offers Democrats
their best chance to pick up a Senate
seat. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is
in a close race against former
Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold.
1 0 p. m. : Polls close in four states,
including Utah, which is an improbable toss-up this year despite its reliably Republican history. Thats
because Trump is deeply unpopular
with Utahs Mormons, who are giving
a serious look to third-party candidates
Evan McMullin and Gary Johnson.
11 p. m. : Polls close in five states
including
solidly
Democratic
California with its 55 electoral votes.
Be warned: It can take a while for the
presidential picture to clarify. In 2012,
Republican Mitt Romney was still
ahead in the electoral and popular vote
at 10:30 p.m.; an hour later, President
Barack Obama was on the brink of reelection.
Mi dn i g h t : It could well be
Wednesday before its clear who will
control the House next year.
Democrats would need a daunting 30seat gain to take over the 435-seat
chamber.
1 a. m. Wednes day : Polls close in
Alaska, which controls three presidential electoral votes.

mall at 727 El Camino Real, fire officials said.
The fire got into the interior of the business, but
remained mostly contained to the back of the building,
which is where fire officials believe the fire started.
Several businesses are immediately adjacent to
Sodinis, but the fire remained within the building of origin.
One residential building was briefly evacuated but residents have since been allowed to return, Deputy Fire
Chief Dave Pucci said.
El Camino Real was briefly shut down in both directions between Broadway and Brewster Avenue at around 5
a.m.
Firefighters were able to move their operation to the
back of the building in an alleyway just in time for the
morning commute and El Camino Real reopened around 7
a.m., according to Pucci.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
County voter registration hits record high

San Mateo County voter registrations hit an all-time
high on Thursday, elections officials said.
The number of registrations reached 394,396 for the
upcoming Nov. 8 presidential General Election and that
number is expected to rise as more registrations are
received from the Secretary of States office.
The county election office is also receiving registrations that were postmarked on or before Oct. 24, which
will add to the increasing record number. Oct. 24 was the
last day to register for the Nov. 8 election.
The previous record for registrations was 389, 718
before the 2008 presidential General Election.
Election officials attribute the new record to a heated
presidential race, the large number of candidates running
for state, federal and local offices and the large number of
propositions and measures on the ballot.

FBI review involves

thousands of newly
discovered emails
By Eric Tucker
WASHINGTON The FBI will

have to sort through thousands of
newly discovered emails in its
renewed examination of the practices of Hillary Clinton and her
aides, a U.S. official said Monday,
raising questions about whether
any findings might be released
before Election Day.
The Justice Department, moving to address concerns over the
timing of the revelation of the
emails and a potential post-election spillover, said Monday it
would dedicate all necessary
resources to concluding the
review promptly.
The timing matters because
Donald Trump has been assailing
Clinton ever more vigorously
since FBI Director James Comey
revealed the existence of the
emails in a remarkable and
ambiguous letter to Congress last
Friday. He said agents would take
steps to review the messages,
which were found on a computer
seized during an unrelated investigation involving the estranged
husband of a Clinton aide.
Rep. Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former New York congressman, is being investigated in
connection with online communications with a teenage girl. He
was separated this year from Huma
Abedin, one of
Clintons closest advisers.
At the White
H o u s e ,
spokesman
Josh Earnest
said he would
neither defend
James Comey nor criticize
the timing of
Comeys disclosure. But he also
said President Barack Obama does
not believe Comey was trying to
influence the election, or strategizing to benefit one candidate or
party.
Hes in a tough spot, and hes
the one who will be in a position
to defend his actions in the face of
significant criticism from a variety of legal experts, including
individuals who served in senior
Department of Justice positions
in administrations that were led
by presidents in both parties,
Earnest said.
It was not immediately clear
exactly how many emails have
been recovered or what significance, if any, they might have.
But the U.S. official who spoke to
the Associated Press said the trove
numbers in the thousands and the
FBI, which had a warrant to begin
the review, would be focusing on
those deemed pertinent to its earlier Clinton email server investigation.
REUTERS
Hillary Clinton visits Angies Soul Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio.

In its letter to lawmakers, the
department promised to continue to work closely with the FBI
and together dedicate all necessary resources and appropriate
steps as expeditiously as possible.
The FBI and Justice Department
closed that investigation, which
looked into whether Clinton and
her aides had mishandled classified information, without charges
in July.
The official who spoke to the
AP was not authorized to discuss
an ongoing investigation by
name and spoke on condition of
anonymity.
The fact that another cache of
emails potentially important to
the investigation has only recent-
ly been discovered raises an

immediate question: How could
Abedin have been unaware of their
existence.
The answer is not yet clear, but
its possible that either she did
not know about the emails on the
computer of her estranged husband, forgot about them or for
some other reason did not turn
them over.
In a sworn deposition taken in
June as part of a lawsuit filed by
the conservative legal group
Judicial Watch, Abedin was asked
about what devices she had used to
send or receive messages from her
account on the clintonemail.com
server. As part of the process in
2015 of returning her work-related emails to the State Department,
Abedin said she looked for all

the devices that may have any of
my State Department work and
provided two laptops and a
Blackberry to her lawyers for
review.
Abedin made no mention of
there being additional devices
where her emails might have been
saved.
I was not involved in the
process, Abedin said. I provided
them with the devices and the
materials and asked them to find
whatever they thought was relevant and appropriate, whatever
was their determination as to what
was a federal record, and they did.
They turned materials in, and I
know they did so. I couldnt tell
you from what device.

Donald Trump sticking with attacks and

insults, hoping to overtake Hillary Clinton
By Jonathan Lemire and Steve Peoples
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Donald Trump

plunged into his final-week sprint to
Election Day Monday decidedly on his
terms: unleashing a harsh new attack
against Democrat Hillary Clinton in
Michigan, a state that hasnt favored a
Republican for president in nearly three
decades.
His message was welcomed by supporters,
but his location frustrated anxious
Republicans who fear their nominee is riding his unorthodox political playbook too
long even as Clintons developing email
problems offer new political opportunity.
Her election would mire our government
and our country in a constitutional crisis
that we cannot afford, Trump declared in
Grand Rapids, pointing to the FBIs renewed
examination of Clintons email practices as
evidence the former secretary of state might
face a criminal trial as president.
National polls show a tightening race.
But with more than 23 million ballots
already cast through early voting, its
unclear whether Trump has the time or capacity to dramatically improve his standing
over the next week in states like Michigan,
where few political professionals in either
party expect a Republican victory on Nov.
8.
Clinton, defending herself from the new
FBI examination, focused Monday on battleground Ohio, a state Trumps team concedes he must win.
There is no case here, Clinton insisted.
Most people have decided a long time ago
what they think about all this.
Later in the day, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook decried what he called a
blatant double standard following a CNBC

report that the FBI director opposed releasing details about possible Russian interference in the U.S. election because it was too
close to Election Day. Comey issued a letter
to congressional leaders on Friday about the
FBIs renewed interest in Clintons email.
The AP has not confirmed the CNBC
report, and the FBI declined comment on
Monday.
Amid the attacks and counterattacks, the
race for the White House remains at its core
a test of a simple question: Will the conventional rules of modern-day campaigns apply
to a 2016 election that has been anything
but conventional?
For much of the year, Clinton has pounded
the airwaves with advertising, assembled an
expansive voter data file and constructed a

nationwide political organization that
dwarfs her opponents.
The Democratic presidential nominee and
her allies in a dozen battleground states have
more than 4,800 people knocking on doors,
making phone calls and otherwise working
to support her candidacy. Clintons numbers, as reported in recent campaign filings,
tripled those of Trump and the national and
state Republican parties.
The New York businessman over the past
year has largely ignored the key components of recent winning campaigns, depending instead on massive rallies and free media
coverage to drive his outsider candidacy.
This week, hes devoting his most valuable
resource his time to states where polls

suggest hes trailing Clinton by significant
margins.
Trump had two rallies on Monday in
Michigan, a state that last went for a
Republican presidential nominee in 1988.
The day before, he appeared in New Mexico,
which has supported the GOP just once over
the last three decades. And on Tuesday, hes
scheduled to appear with running mate Mike
Pence in Wisconsin, which hasnt backed a
Republican for president since Ronald
Reagans re-election in 1984.
It makes no sense to me, Republican
pollster Frank Luntz said of Trumps strategy.
Michigan-based Republican operative
Saul Anuzis described Michigan as a creative opportunity for Trump.
The demographics in Michigan are perfect for Trump, Anuzis said of the states
large white working-class population. That
doesnt mean hell necessarily win here.
Trumps campaign hopes that frustrated
working-class voters across the Midwest
will tip states like Michigan or Wisconsin
his way, especially if he benefits from
reduced enthusiasm for Clinton in AfricanAmerican strongholds like Detroit and
Milwaukee. New Mexico is seen as a longer
shot, with Trumps hard line immigration
stance a harder sell in a state with the
nations highest percentage of Latino voters.
Adding to Trumps challenge: Millions
have already voted by mail and at polling
stations across 37 states. They include critical states such as Florida, Nevada and
Colorado, where one third of the expected
ballots have already been cast.
The breakdown of those voters by party
affiliation, race and other factors point to an
advantage for Clinton.

Justices sympathetic to girl

suing school over service dog
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
appears sympathetic to a 12-year-old
Michigan girl with cerebral palsy who
wants to sue school officials for refusing to
let her bring a service dog to class.
Most of the justices hearing arguments in
the case Monday seemed to agree that federal disability laws allow Ehlena Fry to pursue
the case in court.
Lower courts ruled against her, saying the
dispute over the fluffy white goldendoodle
named Wonder first had to go through a
lengthy administrative process.
The issue is important to disability
groups that want to remove cumbersome
hurdles that they say discourage people
from pursuing their legal rights.
Fry and her parents say federal laws allow
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Around the nation

them to bypass administrative hearings and
go directly to court. The school district
claims the family is trying to evade a
process that Congress put in place that
encourages parents and educators to informally resolve educational disputes.
But Chief Justice John Roberts said it
would be kind of a charade to force the
family through administrative proceedings
if they cant get the relief they want. He
noted that the Frys are seeking money damages for the emotional harm Ehlena suffered;
they are not trying to work out a compromise with school officials.
Justice Stephen Breyer said he was concerned about gutting the informal process
Congress planned, but said allowing the
lawsuit made sense if exhausting administrative remedies would be futile.

Study blames low 2015 Western

snowpack on high temperatures
By Nicholas K. Geranios
THEASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. The western United

States set records for low winter snowpack
levels in 2015, and a new report blames
high temperatures rather than low precipitation levels, according to a new study.
Greenhouse gases appear to be a major
contributor to the high temperatures,
according to the study published Monday in
the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Scientists looked at snow-measurement
sites in California, Oregon, Washington,
western Nevada and western Idaho. They
found that in 2015, more than 80 percent of
those sites experienced record low snowpack levels as a result of much warmer-thanaverage temperatures.
Most of the previous records were set in
1977, a drought year, said Philip Mote, lead
author of the study and director of the
Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
at Oregon State University.
The 2015 snowpack season was an
extreme year, Mote said. But because of
the increasing influence of greenhouse
gases, years like this may become common-
place over the next few decades.

Winter snowpack in the mountains is
important in the arid West because the melting snow provides precious water in dry
months. The snow drought last winter led
the governors of California, Oregon and
Washington to order reductions in water use.
California has been in a drought since
2011. Oregon and Washington experienced
much higher-than-average temperatures during the 2014-15 winter, but they were not as
dry overall as California, the report said.
The story of 2015 was really the exceptional warmth, said Dennis Lettenmaier of
the University of California at Los Angeles,
co-author of the study.
Historically, droughts in the West have
mostly been associated with dry winters,
and only secondarily with warmth,
Lettenmaier said. But in 2015, the primary
driver of the record low snow packs was the
warm winter.
For 111 of the snow-measurement stations in the region, the April 1 reading was
zero for the first time ever, essentially indicating that there was no snow left, the study
found. The overall snowpack level on April
1 in California and Oregon was 90 percent
below average, the report found.

In support of Gateway
at Millbrae BART station
Canepas fundraising
Editor,
I live in Millbrae with my young children, and we have chosen to live car-free.
We enjoy walking and biking around
town, but Millbrae can be a hazardous
place for pedestrians and cyclists. The
Gateway would bring much-needed revenue
into the city, which could be used to
improve bike lanes, widen sidewalks and
make our lives much safer. I understand
that the proposal would also include a
bike bridge over Highway 101.
I also support this proposal because it
will create 76 units of below-market-rate
housing. The Bay Area is experiencing a
housing crisis to preserve a diverse
population, we should build new affordable units of housing.
Because Millbrae Station is a major
regional transit hub, its an ideal place to
build housing. Since the project will
incorporate office and retail, these new
residents will also become less dependent
on cars.While housing issues will always
be an ongoing discussion, Millbrae has
an exceptional opportunity to act now and
improve the quality of life for its residents.

Editor,
As narrated by Bill Silverfarb in the
article Sprint to the finish (in the Oct.
17 edition of the Daily Journal), supervisorial candidate David Canepa has raised a
total of $367,000 since he launched his
candidacy two years ago.During the same
period, his opponent, Mike Guingona,
raised only $4,098.
One might think that such a ridiculously
lopsided fundraising contest deserves a bit
of an explanation since Canepa is not as
wealthy as Trump. An obvious question is
the sources of such funds. Today,
Guingona only has $5,000 left to spend
on his campaign compared to
Canepas$45,000. It seems Canepa has
learned well the techniques of the trade
from his last employer and mentor, former
state senator Leland Yee, who is now serving time at a Federal Correctional
Institution for corruption.
Here is one bit of information for the
lopsided fundraising contest.One of
Canepas powerful contributors is Allied
Waste, among others. Another is the San
Mateo County Central Labor Council.
Some local residents remember that in
November 2014, the Daly City Council,
over a period of three consecutive nights
of public testimony and council deliberations, awarded Allied Waste a $14 million
annual contract over the objections of

Immortality is
within our reach
f you ever want to look back in time,

look to the stars. From your vantage
point, it will appear as though countless blazing cosmic bodies burn bright in a
sky of darkness. Do not be fooled.
According to world-renowned cosmologist
Neil deGrasse Tyson, a majority of the
starlight we can see is nothing more than
light from stars that perished some billion
years ago. That is because the light from
stars can take centuries to reach us. As such,
the light emanating from stars transcend and
continue to travel
the cosmos.
Although we
can no longer see
these heavenly
bodies in physical form, we can
nevertheless see
that which matters most their
everlasting light.
We can see the
essence of
deceased stars
burning bright in
Jonathan Madison
a vast cosmic
ocean of darkness. The physical existence of
these stars have perished under the laws of
impermanence. The light from these stars,
however, have proven immortal.
This phenomena is not limited to our distant cosmic cousins in the sky. In many
ways, we experience this phenomena in our
lives. How else is it possible to carry with
us the love for one who is deceased many
years after they have died? Through our
shared memories and experiences, it is the
idea that on some level, we can experience
their essence long after their existence.
Long after a loved one leaves us, our fond
memories of their smile, laughter and warm
touch remain with us. Beyond the loss of a
loved one, we see evidence of this phenomena daily.
Consider the classic and moving musical
notes of Beethovens Moonlight Sonata
an instrumental composed by its deceased
author more than 200 years ago. Many years
after Beethovens death, we continue to
grasp from his rhythmic and euphoric tunes
an unspeakable joy, inspiration and nostalgia. Consider Michelangelos masterful
painting preserved on the great walls and
ceiling of Romes Sistine Chapel, or
Shakespeares stirring poetry written centuries ago. Each of these individuals have
made lasting and memorable accomplishments forever preserved in lyrics and artwork
that have spanned far beyond their time, and
will ultimately outlive each of us.
Those accomplishments are the reason we
continue to honor and commemorate those
who have come before us. It is the reason we
strive to be the nation envisioned by
President Abraham Lincoln when he proclaimed in his Gettysburg Address that we are
forever enshrined in liberty and dedicated to
the proposition that all are created equal. The
same reason we continue to pursue Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.s vision of a postracial society nearly 50 years after his death.
Beyond our mundane day-to-day challenges and schedules, I truly believe that
each of us want more than anything to preserve something here that will remain long
after we have passed on. This is what King
David meant in Psalm 90:12 when he cried
out, urging that God teach humanity to number our days that we may truly live for something far greater and lasting than our temporary human experiences.
Just as ghostly lanterns bring light to our
night sky long after their stars have perished, the human spirit has proven its ability to produce from our short life experience
virtues which will live beyond us.
As King David prayed, let us be mindful
that our days here as physical beings have
an end. More importantly, may we strive
daily to leave something here that can never
be lost or forgotten the essence of who
we are.

Raiders overcome record 23 penalties in Tampa

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Whether it was lining up

with too many people or in the wrong
place, holding too much or hitting too late,
the Oakland Raiders spent nearly the entire
game on the wrong side of the NFL law.
The fact that they managed to overcome a
record 23 penalties to beat the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers 30-24 in overtime on Sunday was
a credit to another sterling performance by
Derek Carr and a defense that tightened up late.
I thought we earned some and I thought
some were questionable, coach Jack Del
We tried to play with 12 (players) a couple of times,

we tried to play with 10 once. ... Were going to see if
we can go ahead and play with 11 all the time.
Thats what were looking for.
Jack Del Rio
Rio said. But what I like about our guys is

were resilient, we continue to fight and we
work our way through whatever obstacles
present themselves and yesterday we dealt
with a large number of infractions that we
dont want to see and we fought our way
through it and came home with a win.

The 23 penalties for the Raiders (6-2)
came in all varieties, with 13 committed on
offense, six on defense and three on special
teams. There were even three additional
penalties that were either declined or offset-
ting. That broke the NFL record of 22 last

achieved by San Francisco in 1998
Seven of the penalties occurred before the
snap, including a pair of 12-men in defensive formation flags that gave Tampa Bay
first downs on 3rd-and-1 on a go-ahead
fourth-quarter drive. That was an issue Del
Rio addressed with defensive coordinator
Ken Norton Jr. on Monday.
We tried to play with 12 a couple of
times, we tried to play with 10 once, Del
Rio said. Talked with Kenny today. Were

Tribe home with 2 chances to win World Series

By Tom Withers
CLEVELAND Terry Francona viewed the

mass of humanity from high above.
Four months ago, the Indians manager
watched on a TV in his office at Progressive
Field as Clevelands streets overflowed during
a joyous celebration honoring LeBron James
and the Cavaliers for winning the NBA championship and stopping the citys 52-year title
drought.
There were fans hanging from street signs,
clinging to the walls of parking garages
everywhere. Francona wanted another look.
I went up to the upper deck just because I
wanted to watch the parade, he said Monday
as the World Series returned from a weekend in
Chicago. From that vantage point, I think
they were expecting 700,000 and they about
doubled it. And from up in the upper deck you
could see the people coming across the bridge
in droves.
Francona wants to see them come again.
After missing Sunday night on their initial
swing, the Indians are home with two cracks at
winning their first championship since 1948.
Down 3-1 and desperate, Chicago manager
Joe Maddon used fire-balling closer Aroldis
Chapman to get the final eight outs in Game 5
as the Cubs beat the Indians 3-2 at raucous
Wrigley Field to extend their season and send
this Series packing.
The Indians, who have been cast as underdogs throughout the postseason, can complete a remarkable run with one more win.
Its the one Cleveland fans have waited 68
years to see, and would cap a year like no other
in the citys sports history, which has been
filled with more torment than triumph.
Josh Tomlin, the longest-tenured player on
Clevelands roster, starts Tuesday night in
Game 6 against Cubs right-hander Jake
Arrieta, who held the Indians without a hit
until the sixth inning of Game 2, a 5-1
Chicago victory.
Tomlin will be starting on just three days
DENNIS WIERZBICKI/USA TODAY SPORTS
Josh Tomlin is slated to take the ball for

Cleveland against Cubs right-hander Jake
Arrieta Tuesday in Game 6 of the World Series.
rest for only the second time in his career, but
adrenaline and a home crowd of more than
35,000 screaming fans should help him overcome any fatigue.
The right-hander was terrific in Game 4,
allowing only two hits in 4 2/3 innings as his
dad, Jerry, who is paralyzed from the chest
down and confined to a wheelchair, watched
from behind home plate in noisy Chicago as
Cleveland won 1-0.
Tomlin threw just 58 pitches, so his arm
should be fine. The bigger issue will be stifling the Cubs, who have momentum and will
get slugger Kyle Schwarber back in the lineup
as the designated hitter after he was reduced to
one pinch-hitting appearance during three
games played under National League rules.
The only other time Tomlin pitched on
short rest was in his 2010 rookie season,
when he gave up one run over 5 1/3 innings
against Toronto.
On the eve of the biggest start of his career,
the 31-year-old Tomlin said hes approaching
Game 6 like any other even though he knows
it isnt.
I know the atmosphere of this game is not
the same, but its still the same game, he
said. Between the lines its still 60 foot, 6
inches. Its still 90 feet to first base. Its still

baseball. In the grand scheme of things its
still the baseball game whenever the umpire
says Play ball! So thats how you have to
treat it.
Like any manager, Francona has his
favorites and Tomlin is near the top of that
list. They play cribbage together and as
Francona turned the dais over to his starter following his news conference, Clevelands
skipper couldnt pass up a chance to have
some fun at Tomlins expense.
If you guys have questions, he said to
reporters, just use pictures.
On a more serious note earlier, Francona
said hes confident Tomlin will give the
Indians everything he has.
If Tomlin doesnt win, he wont beat himself, and he wont back down, he said. All
the things we talk about, not backing down
from a challenge and valuing winning and
things like that being a good teammate, he
embodies all those better or as good as anybody Ive ever seen.
When the Cavs won their title in June, it
was perhaps no coincidence the Indians took
off on a 14-game winning streak that propelled them to the AL Central title. Cleveland
players and fans fed off the vibe created by
James and his teammates, who will be forever
remembered as the team that changed the
citys sports fortunes.
Francona watched the Cavs win Game 7 at
Golden State, and found himself cheering
wildly at the games climactic moments
Kyrie Irvings 3-pointer and James chasedown block in the final seconds.
I had to kind of remind myself Im 57, he
said with a laugh.
Then Francona watched as Cleveland united
as never before, 1 million people converging
as one to rejoice for a team that lifted a trophy
and then a town.
There was sheer joy, he said. I just
thought it was really cool. It was hard not to
get caught up in it.
Hed love to see it happen again.

Investigators say Edem struck the Jeep and
the pedestrians.
Police say 22 people ranging in age from
12 to 65 were injured, including 17 people
who were taken to hospitals with injuries

T-wolves announce contract

extension for big man Dieng
By John Krawczynski
MINNEAPOLIS Gorgui Dieng would

have been one of the most sought after big
men on the open market if he had become a
restricted free agent next summer.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had no interest in seeing it get that far.
The team announced Monday night that
Dieng had signed a four-year contract extension. The deal is worth $64 million, a person
with knowledge of the contract told The
Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not
publicly announce the terms.
Keeping Dieng was a crucial first move for
the Timberwolves, who will have to spend
millions in the coming two years if they want
to keep their core of Andrew Wiggins, Zach
LaVine and Karl-Anthony Towns who all
are on affordable rookie contracts intact.

13. 0 points and 13. 5
rebounds in the first two

his ability to play both
power forward and center,
defend multiple positions and knock down the
Gorgui Dieng midrange jumper make
the 26-year-old a perfect
fit with what the Wolves want to do.
Dieng was the 21st overall draft pick in 2013
by the Utah Jazz, who traded him and Shabazz
Muhammad for Trey Burke on draft night. It was
a masterful decision by the late Flip Saunders,
who ended up getting two rotation players for
Burke, a scoring point guard who has struggled
to find his fit in the NBA to this point.
Diengs contract also gives the
Timberwolves flexibility going forward to
be able to pay the premium they will need
to pay for Wiggins and Towns, and perhaps
LaVine as well.

State, Louisville, Gonzaga, Purdue, UCLA,
Saint Marys, Connecticut, Syracuse and
West Virginia.
The last five ranked teams are Texas,
Creighton, Rhode Island, Iowa State and
Maryland.
The first time Duke was a preseason No. 1
was 1978-79 and the most recent was 201011.
It is always an honor to be ranked No.
1, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. We
understand that no teams have played a regular season game at this point, so many
things can and often do change throughout
the course of a college basketball season.
Certainly, were excited that people think
highly of our team, and the ACC as a
whole.
The Atlantic Coast Conference and Big
Ten are tied with five

ranked teams each while
the Big 12 has four. Nine
conferences have at least
one team ranked in the
preseason poll.
Duke, which was 19th
in last seasons final
poll, lost to Oregon in
the regional semifinals
Mike
of
the
NCAA
Krzyzewski
Tournament. The No. 1
ranking is Dukes 128th, six behind alltime leader UCLA.
North Carolina was No. 1 in last seasons
preseason Top 25 and the Tar Heels reached
the national championship game, losing to
Villanova on a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Kansas extended the nations longest
consecutive poll streak with its 143rd
straight Top 25, a run that started on Feb. 3,
2009. Arizona is next with 79 followed by
Iowa State with 57 and Villanova with 55.
The first regular-season poll will be
Monday, Nov. 14. The first of the top early
season matchups will be the following day
when Duke faces Kansas and Michigan State
plays Kentucky in the State Farm
Champions Classic at Madison Square
Garden.
of the CCS Open Division.

Last year, only one Ocean Division team
qualified for the CCS playoffs, that being
league-champion Terra Nova by virtue of the
B-leagues one automatic bid. This year,
four Ocean Division teams made the cut. In
addition to league-champion Woodside and
second-place San Mateo qualifying for the
Division II bracket, fourth-place Mills earned
its first CCS playoff berth since 2008 in the
Division III bracket.
Of the eight teams that qualified for the
Open Division bracket, two Mitty and St.
Francis-Mountain View are Division II
programs. With Westmoor qualifying as the
No. 15 seed out of 16 teams in the Division II
bracket, neither the Rams nor Mills would

have qualified without Mitty and St. Francis
getting bumped to the Open, as fourth-place
Mills could not have earned a playoff spot if
third-place Westmoor was denied one.
Division II is really tough, Mauga-Head
said. Weve always had the private schools
that dominate the division. So, thank God for
the Open.
On paper, however, Westmoor seemed
pound-for-pound deserving of a playoff berth.
At 22-12 overall, this season marks the highest single-season wins total of Mauga-Heads
career. The Rams twice won 20 flat, in 2011
and 12.
And at 11-3 in Ocean Division play,
Westmoor was not eliminated in the chase for

the league title until the final week of the season.
Our first goal is to win league, MaugaHead said. Its always hard for us. With
volleyball, the talent level fluctuates. Its
unpredictable. We got pretty lucky this year
with the young talent and the solid returners.
The Rams travel to No. 2-seed Branham
Wednesday for a 7 p.m. start. In the meantime, all in the Westmoor ranks are floating
on cloud nine, especially Mauga-Head.
Its just a good feeling, Mauga-Head said.
I just couldnt believe it. It was just one of
those unexplainable feelings like watching
the Giants win the World Series.

Rookie lets Cowboys

push Tony Romo QB
question down road
By Schuyler Dixon
ARLINGTON, Texas Dak

Prescott will start against
Cleveland after the rookie quarterback looked like Tony Romo in
rallying Dallas past Philadelphia
in the fourth quarter and overtime
for his sixth straight win.
Thats what Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones said after the 29-23
victory against the Eagles that
put Dallas two games up in the
NFC East.
Hold on a minute, though.
Jones wasnt saying Prescott is
taking Romos job. The owner
simply said the Cowboys 10-year
starter wont be ready Sunday at
Cleveland as he works his way
back into shape after breaking a
bone in his back in the preseason.
My opinion is that we would
want him to have more strength
and work done, Jones said
Sunday night. Hes really doing
well, probably as well as anytime
last year as far as aspects of
strength in his back is concerned,
but hes got some more to do.
So the Cowboys (6-1) can continue to delay the question of what
happens when Romo is ready. But
with Prescott having a good shot
at a seventh straight victory
against the winless Browns, its
unlikely that the issue will get
any less complicated.
Prescott has won games coming
from behind and comfortably
leading. He played well in his
only loss, by a point to the New
York Giants in the opener.

been winning many games by the skin of
their teeth this year. If a few plays go the
other way, the Raiders could easily be 2-6.
Now, the sign of a good team is overcoming adversity and pulling out wins, and
Oakland has certainly deserved its six victories. But has there been one game this
season in which the Raiders were the clearcut, no-doubt-about-it favorite? Can you
say that about any opponent over the second-half of the season?
Because thats the other thing about an
ascending team: its never easy. The
Raiders have had to scrape and claw to their
6-2 record, one in which it must feel like
theyve already experienced a seasons
worth of drama. A team doesnt simply
miss the playoffs for 14 years and then
waltz into the postseason.
Oakland cannot afford to lose focus or
take a play off during any of the next eight
weeks, because the second they do, its
going to cost the Raiders. As good a start
as the Raiders have had this season, theyre
only as good as their previous game,

because each week forces them to do it all
over again.

How much longer can Cal stick with
football coach Sonny Dykes? Sure, his
offense is prolic but so is every
offense the Cal defense faces.
And when the defense isnt clicking, like
it wasnt against USC last Thursday night,
you get a 45-24 loss. The Golden Bears are
now 4-4 overall and 2-3 in Pac-12 play.
The Golden Bears will need to nish strong
if they are to qualify for a bowl game,
something Cal has done only once in
Dykes previous three seasons.
Dykes is renowned for his offense. He
always had one of the best units in the
nation when he coached at Louisiana Tech.
He is also known, however, for never elding much of a defensive unit. Ive never
seen a head coach have so much going for
him offensively and be completely clueless
defensively. Cal allowed nearly 500 yards
to USC in the rst half!
Say all you want about the fact Cal was
playing on a short week and the Trojans
were coming off a bye. No matter when that
game was played, the Golden Bears defense
was going to be shredded because thats
what every offense does to Cals defense.

The Bucs got four first downs by penalty on
that drive alone, and had six of their 18 first
downs for the game come on penalties by the
Raiders. But Oakland forced three straight
three-and-outs after that drive to set up the win
that came on Carrs 41-yard TD pass to Seth
Roberts.
With 86 penalties through eight games,
Oakland is on pace to break the record of 163
penalties in a season the franchise set just five
years ago. Of those, 29 of the infractions have
come on pre-snap penalties.

manage to avoid infractions. The Jaguars were

tied for the 22nd most penalties during his
tenure there from 2003-11. But in his two seasons with the Raiders, Oakland has the most
penalties in the NFL.
That has long been a problem for the
Raiders, who have had an outlaw image since
the 1970s and are often at or near the top of the
charts when it comes to penalties in the NFL.
But it hasnt stopped Oakland from getting
off to its best start since 2001 as the Raiders
look to end a 13-year playoff drought.

corrections and then were going to move on.
No tes : Del Rio had no update on the status of
CB Sean Smith, who left the game after injuring
his left shoulder on the second play of the game.
... Del Rio lost a challenge in the first quarter
when he questioned the spot after a Bucs reception. Replays showed Adam Humphries stepped
out at the 16 where the play was marked but Del
Rio challenged anyway. I get really good

Zika ravages the testes of mice;

study raises concern about men
By Malcolm Ritter
NEW YORK Zika virus ravages the testes of male mice,

sharply reducing sperm counts and fertility, says a study
that raises a new specter about its threat to people.
Experiments found testes of infected mice shrank about
90 percent by weight, while their output of useful sperm fell
by three-quarters on average, and often more.
Now its time to find out if Zika causes similar damage in
men, experts said.
We just dont know that yet, said Michael Diamond of
the Washington University School of Medicine in St.
Louis, a senior author of the study. The virus is known to
infect a mans reproductive system and persist in sperm and
semen, so its in the right place, he said.
Diamond said he suspects that in mice, the damage is permanent.
But mice are not men, and experts unconnected with the
study agreed that it cant be assumed that the mouse results
apply to people.
Shannan Rossi, who studies Zika in mice at the
University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, noted
that the researchers had suppressed the animals immune
system defense against the virus. Thats a standard step in
such experiments but it adds another level of difference
from humans, she said.
Zika, which is transmitted by the bite of a tropical mosquito, is such a mild disease in people that most who get it
dont even know they are sick. But it can cause serious birth
defects if women are infected while pregnant, so health officials have been concerned mostly with helping women who
are pregnant or about to become pregnant avoid the disease.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland, said
the study alerts researchers to look for effects in men.
Dont jump to the conclusion right off that this is definitely what is happening to the human, he said. But the
mouse finding is a red flag you need to pursue.
The mouse results appear in a paper released Monday by
the journal Nature. They show the virus attacks the anatomical structure where sperm are made and reach maturity.
Testosterone levels also fell.
The infected mice were able to impregnate females at only
about one-fourth the normal rate. And in females that got
pregnant, the number of fetuses was less than half of normal.

dation, report card scores would only span

from one, for students performing significantly below grade level expectations, to
two, for those who inconsistently show
the expected skills and up to a top score of
three, for those who are consistently proficient.
The board agreed to move away from traditional letter grades on report cards last
year, and are continuing to refine their
search for an appropriate scoring system,
said Phayprasert.
We are just cleaning up the process to
make it even better, he said.
For students who are performing above
their grade levels, rather than issue a
numerical score, Phayprasert said a comment section is left on the card for teachers
to share their assessment.
If a kid is working above the proficiency standards, it can be indicated by notes,
he said.
Revisions to the report card were vetted
by school officials, teachers and parents
before going before the board, said
Phayprasert. Since adopting numerical
report cards, he said the community has

been supportive of the transition.
I think it was an amazing first step to
move from a grade system to a standardsbased system, he said.
On the new report card, there are nearly
50 fields in which students can be assessed
for proficiency on a scale of one through
three. Categories run the gamut from traditional English lessons, such as determine
the main idea of a text and explain how the
main idea is supported by key details, to
more detailed analysis of math skills in
areas such as gauging a students ability to
find whole number quotients and remainders with up to 4-digit dividends and 1digit divisors.
A category addressing social skills and
work habits scoring a students ability to
work independently, accept responsibili-
ty, use time productively, participate in

group activities and 10 other specific
assessments are included in the report card
as well.
In all, Phayprasert said he believed the
new assessment system is better suited to
address the tenants of Common Core,
which offer a deeper and fuller examination
of a students abilities.
He said under the new format, there will
be a greater emphasis on teachers sharing
their analysis of a students ability in the
comments portion of the report card rather
than relying on the traditional letter grade
system.
The teachers comments would provide
a better indication of the students performance, he said.
In other business at the meeting, school
officials stand to approve a contract with
Millbrae Community Television to begin
broadcasting select school board meetings.
The Millbrae Elementary School District
Board of Trustees meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Nov. 1, at City Hall, 621 Magnolia Ave.
Rocsana Enriquez, a Redwood City resident who participated in the community

meetings, said she favors expanding the
board.
Im interested in redistricting because I
feel like, and our community feels like,
there is no one representing the best interest of the community, said Enriquez, who
is the mother of elementary students at the
KIPP Excelencia charter school in
Redwood City.
The decision to switch from to by-district elections was brought on by the threat
of a lawsuit from the Mexican American
Legal and Educational Defense Fund claiming residents from East Palo Alto and
Redwood City felt their interests were not
adequately represented on the all white
board.
Under the new alignment, trustees will
run according to the area in the district
where they live and the board is in the
process of selecting a map dividing the
electorate into new districts.

A majority of the maps currently proposed will divide the district into five
areas, in an attempt to preserve the current
five-member board. Officials have discussed expanding the board by two
trustees, and a vocal portion of the community has supported such an alignment.
Sarver said the board is now charged with
balancing the calls from an organized
group for expanding the board against
their obligation to serve the best interest
of the entire community and students who
may not be as coordinated or participatory.
We understand a sense of focus and
urgency when we hear from the community,
but we need to be able to put that in the
context of what is in the long-term best
interest of the district and its ability to
serve the public with effective representation, he said.
Sarver in the past has said he does not
believe the district is large enough to justi-
fy expanding to seven members, but said

he is open to hearing alternative perspectives from the community.
I do have concerns about the impact that
a change to a seven-member board would
have on the overall district operations, he
said.
District officials will discuss the community input during the upcoming board
meeting and work toward identifying the
preferred alignment before the end of the
year, said Sarver.
Ultimately, Enriquez said she believed
expanding the board would be productive
in assuring her communitys needs would
be addressed by school officials.
We want someone to be interested in our
community, she said. Right now there is
no one who lives in our community.

Study: Skin patch could help

kids with peanut allergies
WASHINGTON A wearable skin patch
may help children who are allergic to peanuts
by delivering small doses of peanut protein,
according to a new study that calls for the
therapy to be further explored.
The study, published in the Journal of
Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found that
nearly half of those treated with the Viaskin
Peanut patch for one year were able to consumer at least 10 times more peanut protein
than they were able to prior to treatment.
The biggest benefit came for those from 4

Medical marijuana is displayed in Los Angeles.
Pot ballot drives put medical

and recreational users at odds
By Patrick Whittle
PORTLAND, Maine A handful of recreational marijuana legalization drives has the

medical pot industry bracing for something
it never expected to deal with: competition.
Legalization is on the ballot in five states
this November, and all five currently allow
some form of medical marijuana already.
Growers, medical professionals and users
of medical marijuana say they worry that
people who want medical marijuana will buy
it on the open market instead of going
through the hassle of getting a doctors recommendation.
This is being structured for big corporations to come in and in a very short period of
time wipe out the caregivers, said Lori
Libbey, a board director of a Maine group
campaigning against legalization and a
nurse who administers cannabis. I wonder
who is going to be able to provide for pediatric patients.
But in Maine and the other states considering legalization, others in the marijuana
business are very much looking forward to
the possibility of legalization. And some
proponents believe medical marijuana professionals just dont want to lose their
monopoly.
Recreational legalization measures are
also on ballots in Arizona, California,
Massachusetts and Nevada. Concerns from
medical marijuana professionals have also

cropped up in those states, and they have
echoed similar struggles in states that have
already legalized recreational marijuana,
such as Oregon and Colorado.
Competition in the marijuana market has
become part of the landscape in Colorado,
which saw nearly $1 billion in sales of medical and recreational marijuana last year. The
state went legal in 2012.
Paul Armentano, spokesman for the leading marijuana legalization group NORML,
said some medical users and advocacy groups
worry about potential corporatization of
marijuana as the market expands. Tension
between medical and recreational marijuana
supporters, he said, has already become an
issue in California.
NORML is sensitive to the concerns of
medical marijuana users, Armentano said,
but also understands some of the consternation is about angst over free-market competition.
There is a concern among individuals who
largely have the marijuana market solely to
themselves that the advent of broader legalization will introduce competition into the
existing market and that competition will
pose a threat to their existing business
model, he said.
Some advocates of medical marijuana feel
state regulations are the key to making sure
medical marijuana survives in the age of
legal pot.
Health brief
years old to 11 years old. Participants older
than 12 didnt see as much of an effect, the
study found.
The therapy works by training the immune
system to tolerate small amounts of peanuts,
said Dr. Daniel Rotrosen, of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
part of the National Institutes of Health,
which is funding the ongoing clinical trial.
Other recent advances have relied on an
oral route that appears difficult for approximately 10 to 15 percent of children and adults
to tolerate, Rotrosen said.

just four throughout California to have
funds advanced earlier than expected
since the CTC announced it must delete
$754 million in projects and delay
another $755 million in allocations.
The local interchange project will
provide safety as well as operational
benefits by reconfiguring the on- and
off-ramps. The current short weaving
distance between cars entering and
exiting State Route 92 is problematic
and traffic from those trying to merge
onto El Camino Real frequently backs
onto the westbound highway blocking
one of just two lanes. The improvements also entail pedestrian as well as
bicyclist improvements along El
Camino Real and the addition of two
new traffic lights.
The 92 interchange has seen such
an increase in traffic over the last few
years with a booming economy and an
increase in the number of cars on the
road. The changes that are planned
have been planned for literally decades
and they primarily will serve safety,
said Mayor Joe Goethals. Its not the
increase in capacity some of us would
like to see, but its a start.
The interchange is often affected by
congestion overflow from the larger
intersection at Highway 101 and State
Route 92s San Mateo-Hayward
Bridge, which is located just east and
serves as a main juncture for East Bay
commuters. Improvements to that
intersection will likely have to wait,
since previously allocated STIP funding for studies was cut earlier this year.
In the meantime, Caltrans, which is
coordinating the city-sponsored project, has put the State Route 92/El
Camino Real improvement out to bid
and the 18-month construction period
is expected to commence next year,
said San Mateos Public Works
PROP. 51
schools and renovating older ones, as
well as $1 billion for charters and vocational schools and $2 billion for community colleges. Principal and interest
payments would be paid off over 35
years and cost a total of $17.6 billion if
sold at an average 5 percent interest
rate.
The demand is enormous, said Tom
Torlakson, the state superintendent of
public instruction, who is supporting
Proposition 51. The state ran out of
money two and a half years ago. There is
a long line of school projects.
Despite bipartisan support from elected officials, though, a Public Policy
Director Brad Underwood.

We were very pleased that the state
came through with the STIP funds for
this project. Its a very needed project
not only for San Mateo, but just in
general for traffic flow through the
Peninsula, Underwood said.
Neighbor concerns
But while Caltrans and San Mateo
officials are pleased funding for the
local improvement has aligned, neighbors of the interchange hope the state
and city can coordinate to ensure their
homes will be protected.
The project includes moving some
of the ramps closer to existing homes,
particularly in the northeast quadrant
affecting residences along Ivy Street.
A years-old environmental impact
report for the project isnt requiring
Caltrans to protect these neighbors
with a sound wall or replace any of the
mature oak trees that will be removed
as part of the project, said resident
Dino Antoniazzi.
Having lived on Ivy Street for 25
years, Antoniazzi said he and the 15 to
20 residents near the project are concerned their property values and quality of life will be diminished.
We feel theres going to be an
increase in emissions, increase in
noise and headlights. Everything
thats going to be brought to our little
quiet neighborhood, Antoniazzi said.
Were not against the project, we just
want our neighborhood to be left the
same or better when they leave.
He thanked the city officials whove
stepped up to represent neighbors
concerns, but acknowledged the city
may not have much leverage in negotiating with Caltrans to fund further
improvements.
Caltrans has agreed to conduct preliminary cost estimates for constructing a new sound wall and funding landscape improvements, after which officials will meet with city staff to discuss next steps, Underwood said.
Institute of California poll this week
found the measure with just 46 percent
support among likely voters, leaving it
on shaky ground.
Notable opponents include Gov. Jerry
Brown, a Democrat who called the
proposition the developers $9 billion
bond in an interview with The Los
Angeles Times.
We think the kids needs should be
paramount, and if they need something
we can go out and hire the contractors,
not have the contractors and the school
officials who hire them drive the whole
thing, said Rick Marshall, director and
chief financial officer for the California
Taxpayers Action Network, a non-partisan organization which is opposing the
proposition.
Since 1998, voters have approved
$40 billion in K-12 and community college facility bonds, though none have
However, since the improvements

arent required by the environmental
impact report and the state agency currently has a ban on landscaping due to
the drought, the city could be on the
hook for these new expenses.
Caltrans Spokeswoman Gidget
Navarro said while the agency always
works with local government agencies
to address community concerns related
to traffic issues, funding for landscaping or the additional sound wall must
come from the city.
Underwood noted it could be challenging to negotiate for the state to
help pay. Still, he and Goethals
emphasized the city would continue to
advocate for neighbors of the interchange who spoke out during recent
council meetings.
Funding shuffle
Prior to the CTCs October vote, the
city was looking to take out a loan
from the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority while its $5
million in STIP was delayed.
About $71.5 million from the STIP
recently became available due to updated right-of-way costs, prompting officials to look for shovel-ready projects
like San Mateos interchange, said
CTC Deputy Director Mitch Weiss.
But delays for other improvements,
such as the Highway 101 and State
Route 92 interchange, will likely
remain until legislators resolve the
multi-million dollar transportationfunding deficit a crisis that arose
from a combination of the state altering how it collects gas tax revenue
paired with an increasing number of
electric vehicle owners ditching the
pump.
While there may be benefits to the
economy of lower gas prices, the
lower gas tax revenue certainly has a
negative impact in the construction
projects we could fund to build and
maintain our road system, Weiss said.
been approved since 2006, according to
the independent state Legislative
Analysts Office. The four previous
bond measures were placed on the ballot
by the Legislature, with support from
the governor, whereas this years measure was organized through a signature
drive.
An analysis by the LAO warned that
the existing system fails to treat
school facility costs as an ongoing
expense despite the recurring nature of
facility needs and deepens inequities
between school districts, among other
concerns.
The construction bonds are provided
on a first-come, first-serve basis, which
critics say gives larger and wealthier
districts that have facilities staffs dedicated to obtaining new funding for construction and renovation projects an
advantage over smaller, less affluent
districts. Opponents of
Proposition 51 contend that
bond money for school construction projects should be
doled out based on need.
Schools that are approved
for state grant funding to buy
land or build a new school are
typically required to share 50
percent of the cost, though
there is a provision that
allows schools facing financial hardship to have all their
expenses covered. According
to figures provided by the
state Department of General
Services, the state has provided $3.4 billion in financial
hardship money for school
construction projects since
1998.
It really works out for the
haves and the have nots in
terms of a balance, said
Jenny Hannah, chief facilities
officer for the Kern County
Superintendent of Schools
Office and chairwoman of the
Coalition for Adequate School
Housing.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald England
Case Number: 16PRO00366
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Donald England. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jubal
England in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Jubal England
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: NOV 11, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the

Iraqi special forces poised on eastern edge of Mosul

By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
REUTERS
Smoke rises at Islamic State militants positions outside of Mosul, Iraq.
BAZWAYA, Iraq Iraqi special forces stood poised to

enter Mosul in an offensive to drive out Islamic State militants after sweeping into the last village on the citys eastern edge Monday while fending off suicide car bombs without losing a soldier.
Armored vehicles, including Abrams tanks, drew fire from
mortars and small arms as they moved on the village of
Bazwaya in an assault that began at dawn, while artillery
and airstrikes hit IS positions.
By evening, the fighting had stopped and units took up
positions less than a mile from Mosuls eastern border and
about 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the center, two weeks
into the offensive to retake Iraqs second-largest city.
We will enter the city of Mosul soon and liberate it from
Daesh, said Brig. Gen. Haider Fadhil of Iraqs special
forces, using an Arabic acronym for the extremists. He
added that more than 20 militants had been killed while his
forces suffered only one light injury from a fall.
Three suicide car bombers had tried to stop the advance
before the army took control of Bazwaya, but the troops
destroyed them, he said. The army said another unit, its 9th
Division, had moved toward Mosul and was about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from its eastern outskirts, the neighborhood
of Gogjali.
At one point, a Humvee packed with explosives raced
ahead and tried to ram the approaching forces, but Iraqi
troops opened fire, blowing it up. Plumes of smoke rose
from IS positions hit by artillery and airstrikes that the
army said came from the U.S.-led coalition.
State TV described the operation as a battle of honor to
liberate the city, which was captured by IS from a superior
yet neglected Iraqi force in 2014.
Some residents hung white flags on buildings and windows in a sign they would not resist government troops,
said Maj. Salam al-Obeidi, a member of the special forces
operation in Bazwaya. He said troops asked villagers to
stay in their homes as Iraqi forces moved through the
streets a precaution against possible suicide bombers.
As night fell, broken glass in the streets glistened from
the light of some burning houses, with several buildings
suffering collapsed roofs from airstrikes. The army estimates hundreds of families are in the village, but few ventured out.
Since Oct. 17, Iraqi forces and their Kurdish allies, Sunni
tribesmen and Shiite militias have been converging on
Mosul from all directions. Entering Gogjali could be the
start of a new slog for the troops, as theyll be forced to
engage in difficult, house-to-house fighting in more urban
areas. The operation is expected to take weeks, if not
months.
Around the world

Pope on Reformation:
Forgive errors of past, forge unity
LUND, Sweden Pope Francis urged Catholics and
Lutherans on Monday to forgive the errors of the past and
forge a future together, including sharing
the Eucharist, as he marked the 500th
anniversary of the Protestant Reformation
by traveling to secular Sweden with a message of Christian unity.
Francis and the leaders of the Lutheran
World Federation presided over an ecumenical prayer service in the Lund cathedral, the first time a pope has commemoPope Francis rated the anniversary of Martin Luthers
revolt with such a symbolically powerful
gesture.
Francis quoted Luther and praised him for having restored
the centrality of Scripture to the church.
The spiritual experience of Martin Luther challenges us to
remember that apart from God, we can do nothing, Francis
said.
Nigerian governor accuses

U.N., NGOs of misusing aid money
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria The governor of the Nigerian state
most devastated by Boko Harams Islamic uprising is accusing some U.N. and international aid agencies of misusing
funds meant for refugees.
Borno Gov. Kashim Shettima claimed the UN has spent $50
million on unnecessary bulletproof cars. A spokeswoman for
the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
in Nigeria, Orla Fagan, said the vehicles were provided by
donors, not funds for refugees. A UNICEF armored car saved
the lives of several aid workers when Boko Haram attacked it
with a rocket and sprayed it with gunfire in July.
I was quite amazed that about $334 million was spent on
Borno state but, mind you, out of that maybe $50 million was
used to procure bulletproof vehicles, Shettima said. If you
give me something with one hand and you turn to collect it
with another hand, why are you saying you have given me
anything?
