Planners consider mixed-use near downtown

Prometheus looks to relocate to Trags Market site, near Caltrain
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo planners had a clear mes-
sage for Prometheus Real Estate Group
as it looks to develop new corporate
headquarters in downtown we want
you to be part of the community, but
your architectural style should pay
homage to the historic surroundings
and neighbors.
The Planning Commission this
week reviewed a preliminary proposal
to demolish a long-standing grocery
store and replace it with a mixed-use
housing, office and retail development
strategically located across the street
from the downtown Caltrain station.
Representatives from Prometheus
announced the family-owned company
is eager to move from its Norfolk
Street space to the property it seeks to
build at 303 Baldwin Ave.
Were very excited to relocate to the
downtown and take advantage of the
transit opportunities along with the
restaurants in this area, said
Prometheus Executive Vice President
Jon Moss, according to video of the
meeting.
While residents and planners were in
general support of the concept, they
urged more refinement is needed before
Prometheus returns with a formal
application.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Everyone can agree that there is
a lot of construction going on at
the San Carlos Caltrain station.
The apartment building frames of
the Transit Village development are
rising quickly to the north and
south of the train station, which is
also seeing improvements and
adjustments to its parking lots,
while questions continue about
how the area will be affected by rail
electrification and high-speed rail.

San Mateo commission heeds concerns at Santa Inez Avenue

Citing San Mateo as a residen-
tial community and the citys val-
ues of preserving neighborhood
character, the Planning
Commission Tuesday moved to
deny a 10-unit condominium proj-
ect along El Camino Real.
Residents spoke in opposition
of the four-story redevelopment
proposed at 4 Santa Inez Ave.,
prompting the commission
Tuesday night to vote 3-1 against
the project arguing it wasnt
appropriate for the neighborhood

ly homes. Commissioner Pamela

Gangmember receives life Local briefs prosecutors.

sentence for Sunny Day murder
A Menlo Park gangmember convicted of
murdering 21-year-old Christopher Baker in
East Palo Alto in an act of
gang retaliation was sen-
tenced to life in prison
without parole Thursday,
according to the San
Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Jerry Coneal, 22,
received a consecutive
sentence of 25 years to
Jerry Coneal life in prison for using
the firearm that shot and killed Baker while
he was attending an Oct. 5, 2012, memorial
for another murdered gangmember, according
to prosecutors.
A jury allegedly deliberated for two and a
half days before delivering Coneals guilty
verdict in August, ending a 29-day trial,
according to prosecutors.
Though Coneals case has come to a close,
three more murder trials in the complex crim-
inal case dubbed Operation Sunny Day
remain. With crimes spanning September
2012 through December 2013, the Sunny
Day indictments focused on 16 people with
charges ranging from first-degree murder and
drug trafficking to robbery and conspiracy,
according to prosecutors.
Also accused of killing Baker, Miguel
Rivera, 26, pleaded no contest to second-
degree murder and was sentenced to 49 years
and four months in state prison in July,
according to prosecutors previously.
Coneal will be required to pay restitution
to Bakers mother in an amount yet to be
determined, in addition to $10,000 toward a
restitution fund. Bakers mother attending

reported that Coneal winked at her as he was

ICE targets immigrants
with previous convictions
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement officials announced Thursday
that agents arrested 27 allegedly undocu-
mented immigrants in San Francisco and
Santa Clara County in a four-day operation
that ended on Wednesday.
Twenty-three of those arrested had previ-
ous criminal convictions for offenses such
as driving under the influence, drug traffick-
ing and assault, the agency said.
ICE spokesman James Schwab said the
operation targeted San Francisco and Santa
Clara County because they are so-called
sanctuary jurisdictions that do not honor ICE
detainers or allow ICE agents to enter jails to
interview suspected immigration violators.
Detainers are requests by ICE to local
authorities to hold a person for two more
days after release from jail.
The operation, known as Bay Area Safe
City, was carried out by agents of ICEs San
Francisco field office, whose territory
stretches from Bakersfield to the Oregon
border.
The home countries of those arrested are
Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras, Schwab
said.
Missing teen located
after Daly City school shutdown
A teenage girl whose disappearance
prompted the shutdown of a Daly City high
school Thursday because police thought she
might have been armed with a gun, has been
located.
At about 4:45 p.m., police said on social
media that Elvina Lynn Guillory, 17, was
found safe in Vallejo, adding that there was
no weapon involved in the case.
The girl was reported missing at 9:30 a.m.
Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Daly City police said
that Westmoor High School at 131
Westmoor Ave. had been shut down as a pre-
caution because Guillory was thought to be
in possession of a handgun.

Courts, interpreters reach deal
Salary increase averts strike, though fair pay concerns remain
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After more than a year of negotia-
tions and several walkouts in courts
across Northern California, inter-
preters and a committee representing
courts in a 15-county region agreed
on a three-year labor contract
Monday.
By agreeing on a 21 percent
increase in the overall wages for
court interpreters over the three-year
term and wage steps based on years of
service, the groups avoided a strike
by court interpreters. Largely repre-
sented by the union California
Federation of Interpreters, the group
has been advocating for fair pay for
months, saying its members have
not been granted wage increases in
line with recent increases granted to
other court employees.
For Mary Lou Aranguren, the inter-
preters lead negotiator, the agreed-
upon salary increase was one step in
the right direction. But she and oth-
ers involved in the negotiations are
still disappointed by the deals fail-
ure to address long-standing concerns
about whether interpreters are com-
pensated competitively for providing
critical and highly-skilled services.
The long-term issues are not at all
resolved, she said. The dysfunction
of our regional bargaining and the
failure of the courts to really address
[interpreters] recruitment problem
remains an issue.
Aranguren said interpreters voted
to agree to the terms to give union
members relief on wages and avoid
further disruption for the courts. She
said they plan to revisit outstanding
issues halfway through the contract,
one of the terms included in the
agreement.

tem of courts negotiating with the
interpreters union, said in a press
release the courts are pleased that
their interpreter employees will
receive a well-deserved wage pack-
age.
These professionals ensure that
non-English speakers are able to
access justice in our courts, he said.
They are an essential part of our
commitment to access to justice for
all Californians.
The courts indicated in the press
release the total wage package would
bring interpreters from an annual
wage of $76,419 to $92,888 over
three years in addition to paid time
off and generous benefits.
Aranguren acknowledged the salary
range and steps included in the deal
helped to recognize interpreters
should be treated like other court
employees, who she said have been
recognized for experience and years
of service to the courts.
But she said the deal does not
address other inequities, such as the
courts refusal to grant interpreters a
wage offset aimed at compensating
employees for recent increases in
pension contributions some counties
have implemented. Though inter-
preters are affected by this change
differently depending on where they

work in the region, Aranguren said
the average cut interpreters have
experienced in their paychecks is 4
percent to 6 percent, which she said
reduces the increase in pay they
achieved in the deal.
They lost money to these pension
contributions, she said. So their
take-home pay is not as good as it
sounds.
Camille Taiara, chair of the
California Federation of Interpreters
Language Access Research and
Advocacy Committee, said in an
email the issue is currently in litiga-
tion after the Public Employment
Relations Board issued a complaint
about the courts refusal to bargain
with interpreters over those cuts.
Aranguren said some counties in
the region have hired contract inter-
preters and paid them up to 42 percent
more than employees paid at the fed-
eral court rate in the past year as
negotiations took place. Combined
with the fact that many of the con-
tract interpreters expenses were paid
for, she said she and other court-
employed interpreters are concerned
the terms of the deal theyve reached
with the courts will not be enough to
recruit new court-employed inter-
preters.
Thats not going to likely lead to
more people becoming employees,
she said.
But at least for now, the deal has put
any possible plans for a strike on
hold. Aranguren and Taiara said they
will be prepared to advocate for better
pay, especially for entry-level inter-
preters, when the topic is next visit-
ed in mid-2019.
Theres still a lot to do to bring us
up to pay parity and equal treatment,
said Taiara.

Around the nation
Iowas proposed Medicaid
cut could signal new GOP strategy
DES MOINES, Iowa Iowa is seeking permission from
President Donald Trumps administration to cut a key bene-
fit for all its Medicaid recipients, a move that could fore-
shadow other state-level efforts to change the safety net
program after Congress repeatedly failed to repeal the
Affordable Care Act.
Federal health officials could decide soon whether to back
Iowas proposal, which would cut retroactive payments for
poor or disabled residents for medical needs incurred up to
three months before they registered for or re-enrolled in
Medicaid. The state wants a decision by Oct. 1, though such
a timeline appears unlikely.
Should the state successfully roll back retroactive pay-
ments a provision included in the latest repeal bill,
which never got a Senate floor vote it could signal a new
Republican strategy for altering health care rules without
congressional action. Iowa says its just looking to save
money.
The Trump administration has yet to approve any major
changes some proposed months ago to state Medicaid
programs, but federal officials encouraged states in a letter
earlier this year to keep suggesting them.
I would suspect that at least now in the short term that it
looks like the repeal and replace efforts are in the rear view
mirror, that that kind of opens up the door for some of these
conversations to really start to ramp up, said Matt Salo,
executive director for the National Association of Medicaid
Directors.

Federal regulators have approved the first continuous
blood sugar monitor for diabetics that doesnt need backup
finger prick tests.
Current models require users to test a drop of blood twice
daily to calibrate, or adjust, the monitor.
The discomfort of finger sticks and the cost of testing
supplies can discourage people from keeping close tabs on
their blood sugar.
Abbotts new FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring
System uses a small sensor attached to the upper arm.
Patients wave a reader device over it to see the current blood
sugar level and changes over the past eight hours.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the device
Wednesday. Abbott isnt disclosing the price for the reader
or the sensors, which should be available in pharmacies
within months.

Climber: Rock fall strikes Yosemite for a second day
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A massive new rock
fall hit Yosemite National Park on
Thursday, cracking with a thundering roar
off the iconic El Capitan rock formation and
sending huge plumes of white dust surging
through the valley floor below.
It was not immediately clear if there were
new casualties, a day after another slab
dropped from El Capitan, killing a British
climber and injuring a second.
Ken Yager, president and founder of the
Yosemite Climbing Association, said he
witnessed the most recent rock fall that
appeared to be substantially bigger than
the earlier one.
Driving past the base of El Capitan, Yager
said he saw the dust cloud and emergency
workers rushing to the scene. Images post-
ed on social media showed a massive cloud

of thick dust spreading across Yosemite
Valley. Climber Ryan Sheridan had just
reached the top of El Capitan, a 7,569-foot
(2,307 meter) formation, when the rock
slide let loose below him Thursday.
There was so much smoke and debris, he
said by cellphone from the top of El
Capitan. It filled the entire valley with
smoke.
Sheridan had also climbed up El Capitan a
day earlier, when the first rock slide
occurred and said this one was huge in com-
parison.
It was in the same location of the previ-
ous rock fall. A larger rock fall let loose,
easily three times the size, Sheridan said.
Yosemite said on its Twitter page that the
park was closing a road on the north side of
the park because of the rock fall. Officials
advised visitors to use the southern access
road.

Wednesday was seen as a rare event but
only because the rock fall turned deadly,
longtime climbers said Thursday.
Rocks at the world-renowned parks
climbing routes break loose and crash down
about 80 times a year. The elite climbers
who flock to the park using ropes and their
fingertips to defy death as they scale sheer
cliff faces know the risk but also know its
rare to get hit and killed by the rocks.
Its a lot like a lightning strike, said
Alex Honnold, who made history June 3 for
being the first to climb El Capitan alone
and without ropes. Sometimes geology
just happens.
The last time a climber was killed by a
rock falling at Yosemite was in 2013, when
a Montana climber fell after a rock dis-
lodged and sliced his climbing rope. It was
preceded by a 1999 rock fall that crushed a
climber from Colorado. Park officials say

California regulator admits
to anxiety as legal pot nears
By Michael R. Blood

LONG BEACH In about three months,

It could take until late November for the
state to issue regulations that will govern

Meanwhile, growers and sellers are won-

Thursday. Its not going to be perfect.

chunk of granite about 12 stories tall broke
free and plunged, said park ranger and
spokesman Scott Gediman. He died, she was
seriously injured and authorities did not
identify them Thursday pending notifica-
tion of their relatives.
The slab that fell Wednesday was about
130 feet (40 meters) tall and 65 feet (19
meters) wide and fell from the popular
Waterfall Route on the East Buttress of El
Capitan, Gediman said. There were at least
30 climbers on the wall of the formation
when the rock fell.

returning to Congress for the first time since being shot and seriously wounded in June.
Cheers, tears, hugs as wounded
Steve Scalise returns to Capitol
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Greeted by hugs,
tears and a roaring standing ovation, a
hobbling Majority Whip Steve Scalise
returned to the House on Thursday,
more than three months after a gunman
sprayed fire at a baseball practice and
left the lawmaker clinging to life.
You have no idea how great this
feels to be back here at work in the
peoples house, the 51-year-old
Louisiana Republican said to a cham-
ber packed with lawmakers, including
senators who had crossed the Capitol
to welcome him back.
Scalise limped into the chamber on
crutches, wearing sneakers, smiling
broadly and blowing kisses in his first
public appearance since the June 14
shooting.
Our prayers have been answered,
declared Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
The moment marked a joyfully
bipartisan departure from the bitter
divisions that have dominated
Congress this year between two par-
ties battling over President Donald
Trump and the GOP agenda.
It does show the warm side of
Congress that very few people get to
see, Scalise said. Trump spoke to

Supreme Court, new
term near, to hear
challenge to unions
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Its conservative majority restored, the
Supreme Court said Thursday it will return to an issue with
the potential to financially cripple
Democratic-leaning labor unions that
represent government workers.
After the justices deadlocked 4-4 in a
similar case last year, the high court will
consider a free-speech challenge from
workers who object to paying money to
unions they dont support.
The court, with conservative Justice
Neil Gorsuch on board, could decide to
Neil Gorsuch overturn a 40-year-old Supreme Court rul-
ing that allows public sector unions to
collect fees from non-members to cover the costs of negotiat-
ing contracts for all employees.
The union fees case is among nine new cases the justices
added to their docket for the term that begins on Monday.
Others deal with a defendants right to direct his own defense,
police searches of vehicles and overtime pay for service
advisers at car dealerships.
Labor unions have been under sustained attack at the high
court in recent years. The latest appeal is from a state employ-
ee in Illinois. It was filed at the Supreme Court just two
months after Gorsuch filled the high court seat that had been
vacant since Justice Antonin Scalias death.
The stakes are high. Union membership in the U.S.
declined to just 10.7 percent of the workforce last year, and
the ranks of private-sector unions have been especially hard
hit. About half of all union members now work for federal,
state and local governments, and many are in states like
Illinois, New York, and California that are largely Democratic
and seen as friendly toward unions.
Labor leaders criticized the court for taking up the case.
This case is yet another example of corporate interests using
their power and influence to launch a political attack on work-
ing people and rig the rules of the economy in their own
favor, said Lee Saunders, president of the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

How tax-cut plan could benefit

president and wealthy staffers
By Josh Boak and Jeff Horwitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The White House
insisted Thursday that the tax cuts President
Donald Trump has proposed wouldnt bene-
fit the rich. But the blueprint suggests that
wealthy Americans, including several in
Trumps administration, would likely enjoy
a financial windfall.
Much of their income tends to come from
investments and business profits, which
stand to benefit from the proposed tax
changes.
The presidents claim that rich Americans
like him would actually pay more under his
plan rests largely on how hes keeping
score of a plan still short on key specifics.
Speaking in Indiana on Wednesday, Trump
said he expected that wealthy taxpayers
might phone him to complain but that hed
rebuff them.
They can call me all they want not
going to help, the president said. Im A protester holds a sign during an event at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center Farm
doing the right thing, and its not good for
me, believe me.
Voters will have to take Trump as his word
that his tax bill would rise under his plan,
because the president has broken a decades-
long tradition among presidents by refus-
ing to release his tax returns.
Without fuller details about the Trump tax
proposal, its difficult to say just how much
the president and his advisers would gain.
Gary Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs execu-
tive who is Trumps top economic adviser,
insisted in an interview Thursday with ABC
News that the wealthy are not getting a tax
cut.
But tax experts say several provisions in
the plan including lowering the top per-
sonal tax rate to 35 percent from 39.6 per-
cent make it likely that the wealthiest
would enjoy the biggest bounty. Those pro-
visions include a lower corporate tax rate;
favorable rates for business profits used as
personal income; and the elimination of
both the estate tax and the alternative min-
imum tax, which was designed to ensure
that the richest Americans pay at least some
income tax.
Based on what we know, this will be an
enormous tax cut for people in the top 1

percent, said Howard Gleckman, a senior
fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
Estimates by the liberal Center on Budget
and Policy Priorities show that fully half
the total tax cut would go to the top 1 per-
cent of earners, saving them an average of
$150,000 a year. Here are some reasons
why:
PASS-THROUGHS
The Trump plan would sharply reduce the
taxes paid by businesses whose income is
taxed at the owners personal rate. These are
known as pass-through companies. Many
are wealthy partnerships, hedge funds, real
estate companies or so-called limited liabil-
ity companies. Instead of paying at a top
rate of 39.6 percent, theyd be taxed at 25
percent in the Trump plan.
Cohn said the administration would find
ways to prevent wealthier taxpayers from
abusing the lower rates and would write
those restrictions into law. But the adminis-
tration hasnt said how. And Democratic
lawmakers see this as a major loophole for
the wealthiest earners.
This provision is a Grand Canyon-sized
REUTERS
rates would likely swell profits and possi-
loophole that allows hedge funds and high
fliers to convert ordinary income into low-
rate pass-through income, said Oregon
Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the
Senate Finance Committee.
The reduction of taxes on pass-through
income would be of enormous value to
Trumps family. The presidents daughter
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared
Kushner, listed stakes in more than 200
limited liability companies in a filing with
the Office of Government Ethics. One
example: A cluster of LLCs involving the
historic Puck Building in Manhattan, a
property Kushners family bought when he
was 5. Kushner, who helped add penthouses,
received more than $5 million from the
companies last year.
Trump himself could also benefit from the
lower rates on pass-through companies. He
owns roughly 500 such entities, according
to his lawyers, making the Trump
Organization less a single entity than a
grab-bag of sole proprietorships and limit-
ed liability partnerships. Determining how
much Trump himself would gain is hard to
say, however, without knowing how much
he pays in taxes.
CORPORATE RATES
The Trump administration plans to reduce
the corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 35
percent. Treasury Secretary Steven
Mnuchin, worth an estimated $300 million,
has said most of the tax savings will flow to
workers in the form of pay increases and
additional hiring. This is one argument
disputed by many economists that the
administration uses to claim that its plan
would mainly serve the middle class.
But an analysis by Mnuchins own
Treasury Department indicates that the vast
majority of the savings would actually ben-
efit investors, stockholders and top execu-
tives in other words, wealthier
Americans.
The richest 10 percent of Americans own
nearly 94 percent of all stocks, with hold-
ings that average $1.37 million, according
to the Federal Reserve. Lower corporate tax
bly the dividends paid to shareholders. The
Standard & Poors 500 stock index has
soared 17.3 percent since Trumps election,
partially reflecting the expected profits
from lower corporate taxes.
Many Trump administration officials sold
their stock after joining the administration.
But just the possibility of tax cuts and
deregulatory changes enabled many of their
stock holdings to rise beforehand.
AMT
Eliminating the alternative minimum tax
would also remove a significant source of
Trumps past tax bill. Tax policy experts on
both sides say the AMT is flawed: Only a
fifth of people with earnings above $1 mil-
lion pay it. But a copy of Trumps 2005
taxes that were made public anonymously
show that the AMT accounted for most of
his tax payments.
Without the AMT, Trump would have paid
just $7 million in federal income and self-
employment tax on $153 million in
income a rate of under 5 percent. The
AMT added $31 million to Trumps bill,
leaving him with an effective tax rate of 25
percent.

We support the Gateway at Millbrae Station project
By Don Horsley and Warren Slocum
T
hroughout California, the housing
shortage crisis is taking an adverse
toll on both the quality of life of
residents and local economies. San Mateo
County is no exception to this trend.
But unlike other parts of our state, in our
county, there are projects in the pipeline
that have the ability to help alleviate hous-
ing pressures and contribute to our econo-
my.
One such example is the Gateway at
Millbrae Station project, a mixed-use proj-
ect that would include 80 units of affordable
units with a preference for veterans.
Additionally, the project would generate
more than $1.2 million in net revenue
directly into Millbraes general fund for
city services. It also will create more than
1,400 jobs.
A unique aspect of this community bene-
t housing project is the partnership and
contribution of BART. As part of their com-
mitment to affordable housing, BART is
contributing 2 acres of land at $1 per year;
essentially, providing the project with
$7.9 million of land value to assist the
affordable housing component.

Strinden the right choice for
Measure I advisory committee
Editor,
On Sept. 12, the Belmont City Council
appointed ve members out of the nine nal
applicants that applied for positions on the
Advisory Committee for Measure I a gen-
eral sales tax, which was passed last year.
According to the City Council, the purpose
of this committee is to report on the accura-
cy of the auditors ndings regarding the
collection and expenditure of Measure I rev-
enue.
For this job of auditing the auditors, a
background in accounting and auditing would
be desirable, to discern irregularities. Yet,
three of the ve candidates selected have no
auditing or accounting experience.
Some councilmembers claimed they were
seeking candidates with no prior city serv-
ice, to provide new perspectives on the com-
mittee. Yet three of the ve candidates cho-
sen are insiders, having already served on
city commissions or committees.
The only applicant who met all the coun-
cils criteria accounting qualications and
no prior city service was Tim Strinden, a
retired federal auditor. Was he rejected
because he was one of the leading opponents
of Measure I? Or because he has been critical
of the citys lack of transparency on this and
other issues?
The Belmont City Council and city of-
cials have not been receptive to Strindens
suggestions; including itemizing paving
expenditures within the larger street mainte-
nance account, for more transparency, and
expanding the scope of the Advisory
Committee to make it more effective.

Gains for drugmakers help stocks reach new records
By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK U.S. stocks fin-
ished slightly higher Thursday,
led by technology companies and
drugmakers. After a big move the
day before, that was enough to
take stocks back to record highs.
After a slow start, stocks gradu-
ally moved upward in afternoon
trading as companies in technolo-
gy, basic materials, real estate and
finance contributed modest gains.
Drugmaker AbbVie jumped after it
reached a deal with a competitor
that would delay competition for
its anti-inflammatory treatment
Humira, the biggest-selling drug
in the world. Industrial firms took
small losses as big names like
Boeing and General Electric
declined.
September is historically the
weakest month of the year for
stocks, but the Standard & Poors
500 has risen 1.6 percent this
month. The third quarter ends
Friday, and the index has climbed
12 percent this year. That has
some investors wondering if other
markets are poised to do better
than U.S. stocks in the months to
come.
The U.S. economic cycle is so
much further along than the

Economic growth
revised up to 3.1
percent rate in Q2
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The U. S.
economy grew at an upgraded
annual rate of 3.1 percent in the
spring, the fastest pace in more
than two years. But growth is
expected to slow sharply this
quarter in the wake of a string of
devastating hurricanes.
The April-June expansion in the
gross domestic product the
economys total output of goods
and services is up slightly from
a 3 percent estimate made a month
ago, the Commerce Department
reported Thursday. It is the
strongest performance since the
economy grew at a 3.2 percent
pace in the first quarter of 2015.
The upward revision reflected larg-
er farm stockpiles.
The year started with a lacklus-
ter 1.2 percent gain in the first
quarter. Economists believe
growth has slowed again to around
2 percent in the current quarter.
The revised figure was the gov-
ernments third and final look at
GDP for the April-June period, and
left GDP rising at an average 2
percent pace over the first six
months of the year. That matches
the lackluster average annual
growth rates seen since the recov-
ery from the Great Recession
Why Facebook keeps stepping in it
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Years of limited
oversight and unchecked growth
have turned Facebook into a force
with incredible power over the
lives of its two billion users. But
the social network has also given
rise to unintended social conse-
quences and theyre starting to
catch up with it:
House and Senate panels inves-
tigating Russian interference in
the 2016 elections have invited
Facebook along with Google
and Twitter to testify this fall.
Facebook just agreed to give con-
gressional investigators 3, 000
political ads purchased by
Russian-backed entities, and
announced new disclosure policies
for political advertising
Facebook belatedly acknowl-
edged its role purveying false
news to its users during the 2016

began in mid-2009.
Analysts have been busy trim-
ming their forecasts for the cur-
rent July-September quarter to
reflect the adverse effects of hurri-
canes Harvey, Irma and Maria that
have hit in recent weeks. But
many are optimistic that growth
will bounce back quickly as
rebuilding gets underway.
Estimates over how much the
hurricanes will trim from growth
vary from a high of perhaps a 1.7
percentage point reduction in
growth this quarter to those who
see a smaller impact of around 0.5
percentage point.
Gus Faucher, chief economist at
PNC, said he had reduced his third-
quarter forecast to 2.7 percent,
down by 0.5 percentage point. He
noted that various readings on the
economy from retail sales to auto
sales and industrial production
have been weaker since the hurri-
canes hit but he said the declines
have so far been moderate.
While some analysts see third-
quarter growth slowing to perhaps
1.5 percent, many believe growth
will rebound in the final three
months of the year to perhaps as
high as 3 percent.
By the middle of 2018, the
economy will be back to its pre-
hurricane path, Faucher predict-
ed.

measures to curb it. Founder and
CEO Mark Zuckerberg even just
apologized more than 10
months after the fact for calling
the idea that Facebook might have
influenced the election pretty
crazy.
The company has taken flack
for a live video feature that was
quickly used to broadcast violent
crime and suicides; for removing
an iconic Vietnam War photo for
child pornography and then
backtracking; and for allegedly
putting its thumb on a feature that
ranked trending news stories.
Facebook is behind the curve in
understanding that what happens
in their system has profound con-
sequences in the real world, said
Fordham University media-studies
professor Paul Levinson. The
companys knee-jerk response has
often been none of your busi-
ness when confronted about these
consequences, he said.

Sea critters hitchhiked
across the Pacific on tsunami debris
WASHINGTON Nearly 300 species of
fish, mussels and other sea critters hitch-
hiked across the Pacific Ocean on debris
from the 2011 Japanese tsunami, washing
ashore alive in the United States,
researchers reported Thursday.
It is the largest and longest marine migra-
tion ever documented, outside experts and
the researchers said. The scientists and col-
leagues combed the beaches of Washington,
Oregon, California, British Columbia,
Alaska and Hawaii and tracked the species to
their Japanese origins. Their arrival could
be a problem if the critters take root, push-
ing out native species, the study authors
said in Thursdays journal Science.
Its a bit of what we call ecological
roulette, said lead author James Carlton, a
marine sciences professor at Williams
College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
It will be years before scientists know if
the 289 Japanese species thrive in their new
home and crowd out natives. The researchers
roughly estimated that a million creatures
traveled 4,800 miles (7,725 kilometers)
across the Pacific Ocean to reach the West
Coast, including hundreds of thousands of
mussels.
Invasive species is a major problem
worldwide with plants and animals thriving
in areas where they dont naturally live.
Marine invasions in the past have hurt
native farmed shellfish, eroded the local
ecosystem, caused economic losses and
spread disease-carrying species, said Bella
Galil, a marine biologist with the
Steinhardt Museum of Natural History in Tel
Aviv, Israel, who wasnt part of the study.

Feeling old? DNA supports

early evolution of our species
NEW YORK For the second time this
year, scientists are reporting evidence that
our species is a lot older than had been
shown before.
A study of ancient DNA from Africa says
Homo sapiens is at least 260, 000 to
350,000 years old. That fits with a report in
June about fossils from Morocco that indi-
cated our species had emerged by around
300,000 years ago.
Previously, the oldest known fossils
clearly from our species were a bit less than
200,000 years old, from Ethiopia.
The new work was reported Thursday in
the journal Science. Researchers used DNA
extracted from seven fossils from South
Africa, ranging from about 300 years to
about 2,000 years old. They compared it to
other ancient and modern-day genetic mate-
rial.
IS reclusive leader rallies followers in purported new audio
By Hamza Hendawi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO The leader of the Islamic State
group urged followers to burn their enemies
everywhere and target media centers of the
infidels, according to an audio recording
released Thursday that the extremists said
was by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The reclusive leader of IS, who has only
appeared in public once, also vowed to con-
tinue fighting and lavished praise on his
jihadis for their valor in the battlefield
despite the militants loss of the northern
Iraqi city of Mosul in July.
The recording was released by the IS-run
al-Furqan outlet, which has in the past
released messages from al-Baghdadi and
other top figures of the extremist group.
The voice in the over 46-minute-long audio
sounded much like previ-
ous recordings of al-
Baghdadi. His last previ-
ous purported message
was released in
November, also in an
audio recording.
You soldiers of the
caliphate, heroes of
Islam and carriers of ban-
Abu
al-Baghdadi ners: light a fire against
your enemies, said al-
Baghdadi, a shadowy cleric who has been
surrounded by controversy since the Sunni
terror group emerged from al-Qaida in Iraq,
its forerunner.
Russian officials said in June there was a
high probability that al-Baghdadi had
died in a Russian airstrike on the outskirts
of the Syrian city of Raqqa, the groups de
facto capital. U.S. officials later said they
believed he was still alive.
Al-Baghdadis whereabouts are unknown
but he is believed to be in IS dwindling ter-
ritory in eastern Syria. The IS-held cities of
Raqqa and Deir el-Zour are under siege and
likely too dangerous for him to hide in.
Some IS leadership is believed to have gone
to the nearby town of Mayadeen, and the
group still holds a stretch of the Euphrates
River from Deir el-Zour to the Iraqi border,
as well as remote desert areas along the bor-
der.
You soldiers of Islam, supporters of the
caliphate everywhere, step up your attacks
and include the media centers of the infidels
and the headquarters of their ideological war
among your targets, he said in the record-
ing, apparently alluding to Western news
outlets and research centers.

the Hillsdale Knights (6-0 PAL Ocean, 7-
3 overall) scored their biggest victory of
the year, downing Westmoor 28-26, 25-
12, 16-25, 25-15 to take sole posses-
sion of first place.
Hillsdales freshman middles paced the
attack, with Audrey Gilbert scoring a
match-high 11 kills and Alexandra
Sprowls adding nine. After a Game 3
loss, though, Eng got cooking from the
service line, scoring three of her match-
high seven aces in the final set. Yuen,
who totaled six kills in the match, saved
four kills for Game 4.
I think I just woke up a little bit after
we lost that one, Yuen said.
It was a tough matchup for Westmoor
(5-1, 12-7) as the Rams were without
senior setter Megan Ho for the second
time in their last three matches. The four-
year varsity senior injured an ankle two
weeks ago, and sat out last Thursdays

Jeff Scheller. Playing competitively with
the teams who are going to compete for the
top are good for me.
Jefferson coach Will Maddox has a similar
mindset.
The winner of this game will control its
own destiny, he said.
Despite Jeffersons propensity for putting
up points the Grizzlies are scoring nearly
40 points a game it could be facing two
San Mateo defenses. One being the Bearcats
regular defensive unit, which has allowed a
total of 28 points combined through four
games.
But the Bearcats offense will also be criti-
cal in providing defense, as in, preventing
Jeffersons spread offense from getting the
ball. To that end, San Mateo will have to
prove that it can run the ball effectively and
efficiently. That can be hard, however, as
Scheller has had a revolving door at the run-
ning back spot for most of the season,
mostly due to injury, leaving Scheller still
searching for that one player to be a work-
horse.
Weve been cycling through running
backs, Scheller said. We need that (fea-
tured back) guy. Were still trying to figure
out who that guy is.
As it stands, DHay Allen leads San Mateo
with 180 yards on 48 carries, but he missed
the Bearcats last game with an injury.

Saunders had 13 birdies and a bogey.
Opening on No. 10, he birdied the first three
holes and added a birdie on 14. He bogeyed

Melvins contract extended through 2019

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics have
long appreciated Bob Melvins ability to bal-
ance the challenges of an ever-changing ros-
ter with keeping a competitive lineup on the
diamond day after day.
Now, he is set to manage the As at least two
more years, with his latest extension
announced Thursday set to take him through
the 2019 season.
He had been signed through 2018 in a deal
he reached in September 2015. In late July,
the 55-year-old former catcher earned his
1,000th managerial win.
Excited to continue being part of a great
organization, Melvin said. With our
younger group of players, I believe we are
headed in the right direction. Very apprecia-
tive to Billy (Beane), David (Forst) and own-
ership for their continued support.
The As have repeatedly expressed their
commitment to having the Bay Area native as
their on-eld leader, and he has handled the
challenge of an ever-changing young team
and a rash of injuries during his tenure.
Bob deserves this extension. Hes done a
great job going through this transition, hes
been fully supportive not just from an organi-
zational standpoint but hes also been sup-
portive to a new group of young players that
have entered onto the roster, said Beane,

But defensive coordinator Robert

NBA commish expects players to stand during anthem
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Adam Silver
expects NBA players to continue
standing for the national anthem.
Not only because its a league
rule, but because they are aware of
what it means in what the commis-
sioner believes is a divided America.
Many of our players have spo-
ken out already about their plan to
stand for the anthem, Silver said
Thursday. And I think they under-
stand how divisive an issue it is in
our society right now.
Silver said the playing of the
national anthem has always been a

the players are not American and

The Cardinals are dealing with

man DeForest Buckner said. Im
definitely excited to get after it this
week and just be more dominant as

Buckner has yet to get a sack, but
is becoming one of the leagues
best young linemen. But of the
teams trio of first-round picks
along the defensive line the past
three seasons, only Arik Armstead
has a sack this season.
DeForest is dominating. And
those sacks are going to come in
bunches for him, Saleh said. I
know he hasnt gotten the sacks
yet, but if he keeps doing what hes
doing and he keeps operating the
way he is, theres no doubt in my
mind that hes going to flood the
gates open.
Buckner tied San Franciscos

ie. He didnt get his first until Week

Carr looks to bounce back
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA Derek Carr hasnt
had to bounce back from a rough
performance too often the past
couple of years.
This week he will want to put the
dud he had against Washington
last week in the past and perform
at a much higher level when the
Oakland Raiders (2-1) visit the
Denver Broncos (2-1) on Sunday
in an AFC West showdown.
You guys know how prideful of
a worker he is. Hes worked really
hard this week to clean up some
things and do his part, offensive
coordinator Todd Downing said.
Thats permeated our whole
offense. Nobody has looked at that
game as I said, and thought, Man,
Im really pleased with what I put
on tape. Everybody from Derek
all the way down to quality control
coaches has looked for ways to
improve. Thats going to be what
propels us going forward.
Little went right offensively for
the Raiders in the 27-10 loss at
Washington last Sunday night
when Carr threw an interception
on his first pass and finished the
day 19 for 31 for 118 yards and two
interceptions.
It was the second-fewest yards
for Carr in a game he didnt get hurt
in and the 52.9 passer rating was
the third worst in 50 starts.
ing games on purpose in an effort to
improve draft odds. The
Philadelphia 76ers relied on the tac-
tic heavily in recent years and the
league felt it needed to step in and
urge teams to always be competi-
tive.
Silver felt teams had even begun
feeling pressure to use the strategy
of fielding poor squads and building
through the draft.
I felt it was corrosive to this
league, he said.
The second-worst team has a 19.9
percent to win the lottery and the
third seed a 15.6 percent chance
under the current format that will
remain through next Junes draft.

Carr had plenty of company in
having an off night. The usually
reliable offensive line allowed
four sacks in a game for the first
time since 2015. The running
game generated just 32 yards on 13

third down chances in a perform-

Bruce Maxwell took to a knee in the Oakland bullpen during
the national anthem. The catcher was warming up Manaea, out
of view from many fans and cameras. One fan near the Oakland
dugout said boo in a normal voice, and a small number of fans
booed when Maxwell batted in the second inning. Maxwell has
been the only major league baseball player to take to a knee,

In 2012, Oakland became the rst team in major league histo-

fewer than 10 to play, sweeping three games against Texas to win
the division over the Rangers.
Oakland lost to Detroit 3-2 in a best-of-ve AL division series

drought without a winning record or playoff berth, nishing 94-

Oakland faces one of its toughest tests of the season play-

defense led by Von Miller and perhaps the games best sec-

Carr has just a 73.5 passer rating in five starts against the
Broncos, getting his only wins thanks to a five-sack per-
formance by Khalil Mack in Denver in 2015 and a 218-yard
rushing performance at home last year.
I would just say dont press. I dont need to make every

HOW DO LAWYERS B ECOME
JUDGES? In order to become a judge, a
lawyer must have been a member of the
State Bar of California for at least 10 years
and either be appointed by the governor or
run for election against a judge or for a par-
ticular judicial position. A lawyer who seeks
an appointment from the governor must fill
out an extensive application. Most candi-
dates also submit letters of support from
other lawyers, friends, judges, law school
professors and others who know about the
candidates qualifications. If the governors
office thinks the applicant has sufficient
merit, it forwards the application to the
State Bar of California Commission on
Judicial Nominees Evaluation, which solic-
its additional information and recommenda-
tions from lawyers and judges who are
familiar with the applicant. If the applicant
receives high scores, the application is
resubmitted to the governor, who then
decides whether to grant the appointment.
The governor will appoint a new judge when
there is a vacancy at a particular court. In the
alternative, a lawyer may seek a judicial
position by running for election against a
current judge or for an open position on a
courts bench. Candidates for judicial elec-
tion are usually evaluated by a committee of
the local bar association. Superior court
judges are elected by each countys voters to
six-year terms.

Scratch the itch of Asian takeout craving with kung pao cod
By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Eating healthy doesnt mean there isnt
room for occasional treats like Chinese
takeout or a drive-thru for our favorite one-
of-a-kind cheeseburger. As long as we keep
these kinds of meals reserved for true crav-
ings, not convenience, then I can probably
keep our healthy eating in check.
For regular weeknights, building up a
repertoire of fast, tasty and healthy ver-
sions of the familys favorite dishes is the
best strategy to avoid ordering fast food
simply because Im so hungry I no longer
care what you eat as long as its quick.
(Nothing worse than scarfing down a pizza
that I didnt truly enjoy!)
What if there was a way to incorporate
some of these drool-worthy indulgences
into a normal weeknight menu? Kung pao
cod scratches the itch of the Chinese take-
out craving, but for a fraction of the calo-
ries, fat and cost. I keep the main flavors of
traditional Kung Pao, but swap out fried
chicken or shrimp for pan-seared cod,
which means lots of protein comes with
healthier fat. I keep the cod in whole fillet
form, which means the fish stays together

protect individual freedom and to promote
the welfare of the people. The judges preside
over matters that decide who takes custody
of children after a divorce, who is evicted,
who inherits property and who goes to jail.
These jurists are some of the more than
2, 000 judicial officers of the Superior
Courts of California, about 1,500 Superior
Court judges, assisted by 380 commission-
ers and 35 referees. Californias judicial
system is one of the largest court systems
in the United States. But just exactly how is
this court system organized?
As mandated by the California
Constitution, each of the 58 counties in
California has a superior court with jurisdic-
tion to hear and decide civil or criminal
actions not specially designated to be heard
in some other court or before a governmen-
tal agency. The superior courts are the low-
est level of state courts in California hold-
ing general jurisdiction on civil and crimi-
nal matters. Above the Superior Courts are
the six California Courts of Appeal, each
with appellate jurisdiction over the superior
courts within their districts, and above the
Courts of Appeal is the Supreme Court of
California.
Each countys superior court is organized
to reflect the type and volume of cases
better, and no time is lost on cubing meat. I
pan-sear the fillets and then pour the sauce
over the fish just before serving. The mild
fish takes on the complex flavors readily,
even without the typical marinating of
Kung Pao.
To add even more nutrients, I bulk up the
dish with quick-cooking and healthy mush-
rooms and peppers. And the sauce is simpli-
fied to save time: I whisk all the ingredients
into one bowl and dump it all at once into
the pan, and cook it only for a minute or so.
Small tweaks make this recipe weeknight-
speedy and weeknight-healthy, too.

CRUISE
Continued from page 19
from beneath you and reveals the B-movie
Cruise weve been missing. Its a fiendishly
perfect vehicle for Cruise that returns him to
the cockpit, 31 years after Top Gun, and it
simultaneously reminds us of his preternat-
urally winning movie-star charisma while
subtly deconstructing it.
Doug Liman, the films director, has
shown a rare knack for intelligently pack-
aging A-list personas in kinetic kaleido-
scopes. He did it in Mr. & Mrs. Smith
with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in
Bourne Identity with Matt Damon and in
his last film with Cruise, Edge of
Tomorrow, the time-warped science fiction
that proved a movie maxim: You just cant
kill Tom Cruise.
In American Made, a loosely true tale
set in the late 70s and early 80s, Cruise
plays Barry Seal, a TWA pilot whose on-the-
side smuggling of Cuban cigars brings him
into the orbit of the CIA. An officer named
Shafer (Domhnall Gleeson) turns up, and
offers him a job taking surveillance photos
and making government payoffs to the
likes of Panamas Manuel Noriega in
Central America. Were building nations
down there, says Shafer, giddy.
Seal, eyeing his own plane and eager to
permanently switch off auto-pilot, jumps
at the chance and doesnt stop giggling at
his good luck. I do tend to leap before I
look, he says in a video diary that plays
occasionally through the film. Maybe I
should have asked a few more questions.
Blithely, even charmingly ignorant of
the dangerous and ethically questionable
terrain hes entering, Seal is soon cheerful-
ly smuggling enormous amounts of cocaine
back to Arkansas for Pablo Escobars
Medellin Cartel. On both sides of the law,
things escalate quickly. Seal and his family
(Sarah Wright Olsen plays his wife), cant
spend their money fast enough. They run
out of closet space and backyard holes for
all the cash coming in.
The CIAs missions grow more audacious,
too. Seal becomes the governments clan-
destine exporter of AK-47s to the
Nicaraguan Contras, who in turn are eventu-
ally flown back to Seals Arkansas base for
military training. Seal greets them all with
an easygoing grin: Hola, amigos!
Its an increasingly absurd circle of drugs,
guns and money, all ostensibly for the fight
against enemies of democracy. The
ironies mount, topping out with Nancy
Reagans war-on-drugs plea to say no
while her husbands secret efforts to arm
militants is fueling one of the most power-
ful drug cartels in the world.
Like a handful of recent movies such as
War Dogs and War Machine, American
Made is a farce of American international
ambition run amok. Here are the comical
on-the-ground results of ill-considered poli-
cies from all the way up the command chain.
Presidents, beginning with Jimmy Carter
and running up to Arkansas Governor Bill
Clinton make cameos throughout
American Made.
Its both a tribute to and a joke on
American opportunism that the cavalier
decisions of politicians can so easily and so
overwhelming benefit (up to a point) a
thrill-seeking pilot who cant say no. The
crescendo comes with Seal, fleeing the
DEA, crash lands in a suburb and escapes on
a kids bike, all the while covered in a white
powder of coke. Finally, a fresh and unfa-
miliar method of escape for Cruise.
American Made, written by Gary
Spinelli, has glossed up the story, of
course. Seals life wasnt nearly so shiny as
it is as played by Cruise. But then again,
whose is?
American Made, a Universal Pictures
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for language
throughout and some sexuality/nudity.
Running time: 117 minutes. Three stars out
of four.

much as all the other things that
attracted me to the movie, I was attract-
ed to the idea of doing really exciting
sequences with real airplanes and what
I did with cars in Bourne, I wanted to
do with airplanes, kind of car chases
with airplanes. And no one is more
safety conscious than Tom Cruise. On
Edge of Tomorrow we walked on to
our drop ship set and the first thing he
said was can we have a fire drill? Sure
enough a few weeks later there was a
little fire and the fire drill paid off.
(This) accident wasnt on set so I dont
know that much about it, but those of
us who are pilots are acutely aware of
how dangerous this thing we love is.
Flying small airplanes is not like
being on airlines.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
CONDO
Continued from page 1
I think the architectural design is
wonderful, its a very pleasing build-
ing, and its well thought out.
Unfortunately, I think its on the
wrong lot and, when I start to look at
a project, I always go to the site and of
course try to imagine how it would
impact me if I lived in that neighbor-
hood, said commission Chair John
Ebneter, according to a meeting video.
The proposal would have included
demolishing two single-family homes
to make room for a 15,322-square-
foot building with 25 bedrooms and a
23-stall underground mechanized
parking system.
The commission had held off on
considering the project last month
when the applicant and neighbors
engaged in some last-minute negotia-
tions to address concerns. Despite the
additional month and a lengthy list of
conditions the applicant would have
to meet, several neighbors werent
swayed.
This development at this particular
site simply cannot be constructed as
proposed without infringing on the
rights of so many other San Mateo cit-
izens, said James Cravalho, who
lives immediately next door.
It was that sentiment that instilled
MILLBRAE
Continued from page 1
Initiating the public review process
answers the calls of developers and
housing advocates who have repeatedly
attempted to push ahead the projects
they consider essential to Millbraes
future.
A long time coming finally comes,
said Vincent Muzzi, who is proposing
the Serra Station development com-
prised of two 10-story and one nine-
story buildings primarily on land his
family has owned for nearly eight
decades.
Serra and Republic Urban representa-
tives began advocating for the projects
to go before public officials last year
following the City Council approving
the Millbrae Station Area Specific Plan,
which loosened development regula-
tions for the 116-acre site near the
intersection of El Camino Real and
Millbrae Avenue.
Republic Urban CEO Michael Van
Every said his company is also pleased
to see the project get rolling.
Were very excited to hopefully
complete this journey and excited the
council and Planning Commission
will hear the project and hopefully
move this forward, he said. Its

empathy in the commission and led
some to suggest the project be scaled
back.
I dont think its too much to ask
that it be scaled back, said
Commissioner Charlie Drechsler.
This is a tough one for me, because
Im an advocate for housing, but I
believe this project needs to be more
respectful of the general one- to two-
story feeling of this neighborhood.
Jack Matthews, the projects archi-
tect and a former mayor, said the
applicant was willing to meet the con-
ditions outlined by city staff but noted
reducing the size of the project would-
nt be financial feasible. Matthews
noted the sites history included it pre-
viously being approved for a six-unit
structure with larger homes that would
have resulted in a similar size build-
ing.
I really doubt if this project would
happen without the 10 units,
Matthews said.
Per the citys planning process, the
applicant is able to appeal the deci-
sion to the City Council. The commis-
sion must first vote on formal reasons
to deny the project, which is slated for
consideration on its Oct. 10 consent
agenda.
Commissioner Dianne Whitaker
said she was in favor of the project,
noting slight surprise in support for a
mechanized parking system.
Im usually accused of being some-
one who doesnt like change, but Ive
been a long time coming.
The City Council is slated to address
the projects following the Planning
Commission issuing recommenda-
tions. Van Every said he hopes the
process can finish by the end of the
year.
The path to approval may not be
seamless though, according to Mayor
Reuben Holober, who noted a develop-
ment agreement for either project has
yet to be reached.
Central to officials consideration
will be assuring each project includes
an adequate amount of affordable hous-
ing, said Holober, noting the issue is a
priority for Millbrae and surrounding
communities.
A contentious bout of development
agreement talk ground to a halt between
city officials and Republic Urban repre-
sentatives over fees tied to the below-
market rate units. Developers claim the
fees should be waived to ease the proj-
ect financing, while officials maintain
concerns regarding the builders com-
mitment to constructing the units.
Following declaration of a bargain-
ing impasse, City Hall elected to pass
the affordable housing deadlock over to
elected officials.
Holober said the public process
beginning without a completed devel-
opment agreement is not ideal while
also recognizing the desire for the proj-

been told if youre not open to
change, then youre just standing
still. And it probably needs a little
more fleshing out and study, but I do
think it is the wave of the future,
Whitaker said.
The city has recently seen an influx
of proposed redevelopment projects
using automatic systems as a way to
accommodate parking. Like another
recently approved housing project at
El Camino Real and Third Avenue, the
Santa Inez proposal included working
with CityLift.
Residents have raised concerns
about the systems and commissioners
this week noted it might be wise to
have the city conduct a policy discus-
sion around mechanized systems
which have been proposed at least
three projects in the last few months.
Commissioner Eric Rodriguez said
while the city is striving to meet the
demands of the housing crisis, higher
density proposals are more appropri-
ate in areas with more access to mass
transit.
What makes this project difficult is
this is a very high-quality design by a
very highly respected architect that I
admire and it technically meets all the
zoning requirements, Rodriguez said,
before explaining his opposition. I
really believe this project is out of
scale with the neighborhood. I cant
get around that. I think its a great
design, I just think its in the wrong
place.
ect review process to begin.
There may be a couple of con-
tentious issues that end up being policy
decisions for the commission and coun-
cil, and the goal is to optimize those,
he said.
Despite the sides differing opinions,
Van Every said company representa-
tives are ultimately satisfied the pro-
posal will receive its hearing date.
We are just pleased with the progress
and that the project is moving forward,
he said.
Muzzi suggested the development
agreement for his project is nearly com-
pleted, and expressed confidence the
issues could be hashed out through pub-
lic dialogue.
I dont think any of them are of great
significance, he said of the outstand-
ing development agreement terms.
Some of them are open-ended and
some of them are up for the council to
decide.
As the issues begin to work their way
before the City Council, despite his
reservations, Holober too expressed
his enthusiasm for the chance to review
the potentially transformative develop-
ments.
Both projects have long-term rami-
fications for the city. Whatever is built
there will be there for decades to come,
and this is our one opportunity to get
this right for the city, he said.

Senators question strategy for halting North Koreas nuke program
By Richard Lardner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A senior State
Department official acknowledged
Thursday that U. S. intelligence agencies
dont believe North Korea will ever pull
the plug on its nuclear program, raising
concerns among lawmakers over the
Trump administrations strategy for
bringing a mounting crisis to a peaceful
close.
Susan Thornton, the acting assistant
secretary of state for East Asia and the
Pacific, said her department and other fed-
eral agencies are testing the conclusion
reached by the intelligence agencies. The
administration, she told members of the
Senate Banking Committee, is ratcheting
up international isolation and pressure
on North Korea, with essential help from
China, which she called Pyongyangs
leading enabler.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. , said North
VILLAGE
Continued from page 1
All of it worries Dimitri Vandellos, presi-
dent of the Greater East San Carlos
Neighborhood Association.
Representingresidents who live just east of
the area, he hopes his neighborhoods con-
cerns will be resolved soon.
In particular, Vandellos is concerned
about how uncovered piles of soil at the
construction site where eight apartment
buildings, ground-floor retail space and a
reconfigured parking lot are planned will be
managed and how Caltrain electrification
and high-speed rail improvements will fit
into the two plans. But he said those ques-
tions have largely gone unanswered since
he lodged concerns with transit officials as
well as the developer of the Transit Village
in early August.
Though Vandellos acknowledged
Community Development Director Al Savay
addressed some of his initial concerns and
identified the agencies that would respond
to his remaining questions, he said his frus-
tration with navigating the many agencies
involved in the projects has been building
after weeks of waiting.
Its a drag, and I hope that theyll actual-
ly answer some questions, he said.
Savay said in an email city and project
planners are working on responses to
Vandellos remaining questions about the
site, which include concerns uncovered soil
on the site may blow into his neighborhood
TRAGS
Continued from page 1
pied by the family-owned Trags Market
would be reworked to accommodate a
mixed-use trifecta with new residents and
tenants. Prometheus is under contract to
purchase the site from the Tragoutsis fami-
ly, which decided to sell its land after oper-
ating the grocer for decades on the corner
of Baldwin Avenue and North B Street.
Prometheus initial redevelopment pro-
posal suggests a 63-unit residential com-
ponent, six of which will be offered as
affordable. The housing will be comprised
of studios and one-bedroom apartments in
a five-story building. Attached would a be a
four-story structure with just over 22,300
square feet of ground-floor commercial
space and about 63, 200 square feet of
office space on the upper floors, according
to plans submitted to the city.
In latching onto what appears to be a
growing trend, the developer proposed
installing an underground mechanized
parking system that would accommodate
274 stalls, according to the plans.
Moss indicated the company plans to
take up about half of the proposed office
space and emphasized its in Prometheus
benefit to make sure things like the auto-
mated parking system works smoothly.
Were making a serious long-term com-
NATION/LOCAL
Korean leader Kim Jong Un views nuclear
weapons as his ticket to survival and
theres virtually nothing to make him
turn back. Corker, who also chairs the
Foreign Relations Committee, asked
Thornton and Sigal Mandelker, the under-
secretary of Treasury for terrorism and
financial intelligence, what steps could
quickly steer North Korea from being able
to fire missiles at the United States.
Were trying to turn Chinas position
from looking at North Korea as some kind
of asset, to looking at them as a liabili-
ty, Thornton said. I think that
(Secretary of State Rex) Tillerson has
made a lot of progress on that front.
But Corker said that while he applauded
Tillersons efforts, the secretary is work-
ing against the unified view of our intelli-
gence agencies.
Echoing Corkers concerns, Sen. Mark
Warner, D-Va. , said there may be a con-
tradiction between the conclusions of the
intelligence community and what the sec-
and that two additional passing railroad
tracks, one idea recently floated by rail offi-
cials as a strategy for accommodating high-
speed trains through the Peninsula, could
alter the placement of buildings included in
the San Carlos Transit Village project,
approved in 2013.
We are committed to making sure the
community is informed and that the city is
doing its part working with all parties to
minimize disruption to the surrounding
community as the San Carlos Transit
Village is built, said Savay.
Jessica Baker, a spokeswoman for Transit
Village developer Prometheus, said all con-
taminated soil on the site has been covered
and disposed of properly throughout exca-
vation, and that some uncontaminated piles
of soil may remain uncovered at times as
construction crews may use it to fill holes
in other parts of the site.
Caltrain and SamTrans spokesman
Seamus Murphy said in an email an Oct. 26
meeting has been scheduled to discuss
Vandellos concerns and that he had
reviewed commitments made between the
city of San Carlos, high-speed rail and
SamTrans prior to the Transit Villages
approval.
In 2012, the city of San Carlos and
[high-speed rail] worked to identify a design
that would allow passing tracks and the
Transit Village to co-exist without resulting
in lane closures on Old County Road, he
said, adding that high-speed rail officials
said in writing that this design would be
included in the environmental assessment
for the project.
Murphy noted that SamTrans, which is
mitment because we want to be located
here, Moss said, while suggesting the
development itself was likely not going to
be profitable for Prometheus.
He added they often retain ownership of
their developments for years, and built the
nearby Metropolitan Apartments along
Fourth Avenue.
Tuesdays meeting was the first opportu-
nity the commission had to formally
weigh in on the pre-application for the
Trags site and, while supportive of the
new concept, urged Prometheus to tweak
its current design.
It seems like youre designing this
building from the perspective of what you
want your office to be like working there,
but youre not necessarily taking into
account how its going to change the feel
of our downtown, said Commissioner Eric
Rodriguez.
A main suggestion was in relation to the
architectural design and urging the vast
amount of glass lining the office portion
be reduced. Various commissioners also
noted an interest in having parts of the
building set back further, increasing the
size of the units to include more two-bed-
rooms that could accommodate growing
young families, and having Prometheus
strongly consider seeking a grocer as a
tenant for the ground-floor retail space.
While Prometheus has hosted a commu-
nity forum and several meetings with local
neighborhood and business associations,
commissioners said they want to see the
retary of state is trying to do.
Its a really thorny issue, said Warner, pieces say to the United States and
who also is vice chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee. He called the
findings of the intelligence agencies
fairly chilling.
Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said the
long-term objective of halting North
Koreas atomic arms program may not be
achievable at all.
Im with you on the strategic objective secure more aggressive action by Beijing.
of getting Kim Jong Un to change his cal-
culus, Schatz told Thornton. But I dont
see that happening in the next three to
six months, or even in the next, you
know, six to 18 months. And yet, we are
in a crisis right now.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. , rejected
cooperation from Beijing on North Korea
as illusory. He dismissed the assumption
that China wants a nuclear-free North
Korea because Beijing fears war would
lead to a massive refugee crisis on its bor-
der or a pro-American unified Korea.
managing the construction of the Transit
Center aimed at providing commuter park-
ing and designated drop-off zones for multi-
ple modes of transportation, previously
promised to advocate for efforts that do not
narrow Old County Road in a memorandum
of understanding with San Carlos and the
adjacent neighborhood.
We stand by our commitment to do that,
he said.
SamTrans spokeswoman Tasha
Bartholomew confirmed in an email work
on the main parking lot of the Transit
Center is finished and a new traffic signal
and left-turn pocket at the intersection of
Cherry Street and El Camino Real is expect-
ed to break ground in October.
Vandellos also has questions as to how
Caltrain electrification and high-speed rail
plans will affect the planting of some 70
trees promised by the developer when the
202-apartment Transit Village project was
approved to soften the look of the six three-
story buildings and two two-story commer-
cial buildings included in the project plans.
Vandellos said he and his neighbors
worked hard when the Transit Village was
approved to ensure that additional trees
would be planted on the east side of the berm
allowing passage of trains over Holly
Street. But he said plans included in
Caltrains electrification project suggested
the trees along the berm would have to be
cut down, which he felt was contradictory to
commitments made earlier.
We brought up those issues very clearly,
he said. And now we want to know, are these
guys actually going to follow up and provide
the mitigations that they promised?
communitys suggestions incorporated in
the final proposal.
Some members of the public expressed
concerns about gentrification as the large
building is proposed along North B Street,
where stores and businesses are typically
geared toward a Hispanic market. The city
itself has sought to promote the sleepy
stretch on the northern end of downtown
by highlighting its cultural diversity.
Some commissioners and members of the
public said the jobs-to-housing imbalance
should prompt the city to urge more resi-
dences and less office space on the site.
Resident Maxine Turner said San Mateo
shouldnt be approving thousands and
thousands of square feet of office space
without commensurate housing. While
appreciative of the street-level amenities,
retail and wider sidewalks, Turner said the
current architectural aesthetics dont seem
to fit in downtown.
It doesnt belong. Its an easy issue to
address if the applicant and architect will
really listen to the community we can have
a win-win. We dont have to fight about it,
said Turner, who helped author San Mateos
citizen-initiated height and density restric-
tions in the 1990s. She later added this
project can have a tremendously beneficial
or detrimental effect for that area.
Commissioner Charlie Drechsler said its
a unique opportunity on a large downtown
lot and urged Prometheus to collaborate
with the community in designing a build-
ing that will blend with its surroundings.

I know thats what Chinese mouth-
Western audiences, but I just cant agree
with it, Cotton said. A refugee crisis?
Say what you will about our country, but
Im pretty sure that the Chinese govern-
ment can build a wall on their border.
China, Cotton said, is a strategic com-
petitor of the United States and more
coercive pressure should be use to
Thornton said the Chinese change
slowly, but are becoming increasingly
concerned about the behavior out of North
Korea.
Its becoming clear to them, the impli-
cations for them, which they had maybe
not fathomed clearly enough earlier, she
said.
Thornton and Mandelker cautioned that
Congress shouldnt pass any legislation
that would undercut the Trump administra-
tions push for a diplomatic resolution
with North Korea.
Bartholomew confirmed in an email the
planting of 72 trees was included in the
Transit Village project approvals, and said
Caltrain agreed trees could be planted on the
berm as long as they are compatible with
the electrification project and all related
safety and operational requirements. She
said the developer of the Transit Village is
working on a plan to determine the number
and placement of trees within the require-
ments.
Councilman Ron Collins acknowledged
the high volume of plans that have been
presented for the site over the years, and
said he could understand why ideas to add
two tracks to allow trains to pass either
other or raise them above existing tracks to
facilitate high-speed rail service have
caused some consternation among those
living nearby.
Collins is looking to plans for how high-
speed rail service would be accommodated
through the San Carlos stretch of train
tracks to see how the two projects might be
affected, but he didnt think major changes
were likely. He said an idea floated by high-
speed rail officials to move the historic
train depot to accommodate changes could
cause the fewest problems, but the city
would have to wait and see what options
look likely when high-speed rail authori-
ties present new ideas later this year.
Its a fluid situation, he said, of how
high-speed rail service and Caltrain service
would be accommodated on the tracks.
Right now, were just focusing on getting
the electrification done.
I think this is really a chance to throw
some pasta on the wall with a couple differ-
ent designs at the next community out-
reach meeting and say how about this?
Drechsler said. I am equally concerned
that the presence of this building coming
in from the transit station should reflect a
little more of the eclectic nature of down-
town.
Commissioner Dianne Whitaker, an
architect, said she would prefer to see a
more integrated design, instead of the
sharp contrast between a large massing of
glass and dark brick on lower levels. But
instead of suggesting the property solely
focus on mimicking nearby historic prop-
erties, she said the building should consid-
er the breadth of downtown architecture.
Theres been a lot of talk about respect-
ing and being referential to the downtown
historic district, to be honest that doesnt
concern me as much as being a good fit
with the downtown in general, Whitaker
said.
A variety of studies, including on traffic
and shadows, will be conducted as part of
the environmental reviews. A robust trans-
portation demand management plan is also
expected as the proposal winds through the
entitlement process. The next steps will be
for Prometheus to return with a formal
application and conduct more outreach.
