South City pushes for linkage fees
Contributions sought from developers to address affordable housing concerns
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco officials support
establishing fees paid by developers inter-
ested in building new workspaces to offset
the affordability crunch, but uncertainty
lingers over the preferred rates.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission recommended implementing
commercial linkage fees during a meeting
Thursday, July 19, to beef up the city’s
affordable housing fund.
But commissioners offered divergent
opinions on the costs developers should
pay, as some suggest the recommended fee
levels are too low while others are reticent
to push them higher for fear of discouraging
future development.
City staffers are recommending the City
Council approve charging builders $5 per
square foot of new hotel space; $2.50 for
restaurant or retail square footage and $15
for the same amount of office, medical or
research and development space.
Commission Chair Mark Nagales advo-
cated for seeking higher fees in an effort to
generate more revenue for the city’s fund
which could be applied to facilitating con-
struction of more affordable units.
“We need to step up. So this is a perfect
opportunity for us to show our residents
that we do care about what is happening
here. And that we want them to stay,” he
said, according to video of the meeting. “So
I feel like we should be aggressive about
this.”
LOCAL
No decision was made at the commis-
sion’s meeting, and the issue will continue
onto the City Council for further considera-
tion next month.
Vice Chair JulieAnn Murphy suggested
she supported Nagales, and pointed to the
hotel industry as one which could perhaps
endure facing higher fee rates.
“The hotel fee seems pretty low, especial-
ly given our proximity to the airport and the
opportunities we have to potentially have
more hotels in South San Francisco,” she
said.
Other commissioners help opposing per-
spectives on the matter though, suggesting
the rates should be limited in recognition of
the burden already placed on builders
through a slate of previously established
fees.
“I would just like to caution that we don’t
fee our developers to death, ” said
Commissioner Michelle Evans. “Even if
it’s a small amount in our mind, the percep-
tion out there for a developer may be that
this is the last straw of fees. So you need to
kind of balance that.”
She noted South San Francisco already
charges builders fees for child care and other
public services, which are not established
in other nearby cities.
Commissioner Alan Wong shared a simi-
lar perspective.
“We have additional fees that other cities
don’t have, so that could be why we have a
tradeoff,” he said.
Linkage fees have grown increasingly

Existing-home sales fell 0.6 percent in June

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. sales of existing
homes fell 0.6 percent in June, the third
straight monthly decline, as higher prices
and a limited supply of listings have side-
lined many would-be buyers.
The National Association of Realtors
said Monday that homes sold last month at
a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 5.38
million. Over the past year, home sales
have tumbled 2.2 percent.
Many Americans searching for homes
face prices that are climbing at roughly
double the pace of wages. Sales of entry-
level homes worth less than $250,000
have fallen amid a constrained inventory
— and the decline accounts for nearly all of
the annual drop in home sales. Still, the
number of homes for sale in June rose on
an annualized basis for the first time since
the middle of 2015, a sign that the 3-year
downward spiral in inventories may be
ending.
Sam Khater, chief economist at mort-
gage buyer Freddie Mac, said the lack of
meaningful pay raises could weigh on the
housing market.
A real estate sign advertising a new home for sale is pictured in Vienna, Va.
“This ongoing issue will likely lead to
more affordability headwinds for those try-
The number of homes on the market
increased a scant 0.5 percent from a year
ago to 1. 95 million. But the slight
improvement comes as prices have
climbed beyond the reach of many
Americans. The median sales price in June
increased 5.2 percent from a year ago to
$276,900.
Higher costs are most pronounced in the
West, where the median sales price has
jumped 10.2 percent over the past year to
$417,400. Those increased prices have
corresponded with a 5 percent drop in sales
in the West during the same period. Home
prices in the West have increased at rough-
ly three times faster than other parts of the
United States, reflecting the higher costs
of land and booming local economies such
as San Francisco, Denver and Seattle.
In June, sales fell in the West and South,
but they rose in the Midwest and
Northeast.
Sales of homes worth less than
$250,000 have declined nationwide over

Administration says nearly
1,200 family reunifications
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — The Trump adminis-
tration said Monday that nearly 1,200
family reunifications have occurred for
children 5 and older who were separat-
ed at the U.S.-Mexico border, still
leaving hundreds to go before this
week’s court-imposed deadline.
There have been 1,187 reunifica-
tions “or other appropriate dis-
charges” by the Health and Human
Services Department’s Office of
Refugee Resettlement, which took cus-
tody of the children, the Justice
Department said in a court filing. It
was not immediately clear what “other
appropriate discharges” referred to.
The administration has identified
2,551 children 5 and older who have
been separated from their families.
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw has
set a deadline of Thursday for the gov-
ernment to reunite all older children
with their parents. He set an earlier
deadline for dozens of children under 5.
More than 1, 600 adults were
believed eligible for reunification,
including 217 who have been released
by immigration authorities into the
United States, according to the filing.
More than 500 were vetted and await-

No, Twitter will
not ban Trump
and here’s why
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Calls to ban Donald Trump from Twitter
are at least as old as his presidency. But it’s not going to
happen, at least not while he’s in office.
The latest strive involves an all-caps tweet sent late
Sunday warning Iran of “CONSEQUENCES THE LIKE OF
WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUF-
FERED BEFORE.”
So, does threatening nuclear annihilation upon an entire
country get you the boot from the social network? Twitter’s
policy states that threats of violence can get you kicked off.
For instance, if somebody were to tweet a threat to kill his
neighbor with a sawed-off shotgun, they could easily be
kicked off for violating Twitter’s policies.
But not if you are Trump — or another world leader. Here’s
why:
Twitter treats Trump differently than a “regular” user.
In January, Twitter published a blog post publicly codify-
ing what had already been company policy, saying that
“Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their
controversial Tweets would hide important information
people should be able to see and debate.”
Twitter’s view is that keeping up political figures’ con-
troversial tweets encourages discussion and helps hold lead-
ers accountable. The comments, the company argues, can
either happen in the open, on Twitter, or behind closed
doors.
The blog post, written a year after Trump became presi-
dent, does not reference him. But it’s a clear response to
calls to remove him, by liberal activists, writers and Twitter
users even before he became president. And it nods to criti-
cism that Twitter is only keeping on Trump because as
arguably the world’s best-known tweeter he’s made the serv-
ice more visible.
“No one person’s account drives Twitter’s growth, or
influences these decisions. We work hard to remain unbi-
ased with the public interest in mind,” the policy says.
So what about regular users?
Twitter bans “specific threats of violence or wishing for
serious physical harm, death, or disease to an individual or
group of people.” It also prohibits users from affiliating
with organizations that “use or promote violence against
civilians to further their causes.” This policy is in part to
keep what Twitter calls “extremist groups” off its service. It
defines them as groups that subscribe to violence to
advance their cause.
But there’s a big exception: “This policy does not apply
to military or government entities.”
Since the president is obviously a government entity,
and, as commander in chief, a military entity as well, a
nuclear threat won’t get him kicked off Twitter.
That leads some to wonder if there is anything Trump
could say on the platform to get himself banned.

His late Sunday tweet warning of

surprise, sparked a fresh day of for-
eign policy confusion, and trig-

tweet was reminiscent of Trump’s
brash warning of “fire and fury” for
North Korea last year, part of an
exchange of bravado in which he
and Kim Jong Un’s government
compared the relative size of their
nuclear buttons.

think he’s very clear about what

place.”
The Iran tweet, responding to the
latest threat from Iranian President
Hassan Rouhani, came on the heels
of a frustrating week for a White
House reeling from denunciations
of Trump’s treatment of Russia’s
Vladimir Putin during their summit
in Helsinki. The president initially
refused to say whether he believed
the U.S. intelligence community’s
conclusion that Russia interfered
in the 2016 election, instead giv-
ing equal weight to Putin’s denials.
Critics were quick to seize upon
his Iran threat as an attempt to
change the subject. Sanders retort-
ed: “I think the president has the
ability, unlike a lot of those in the
media, to actually focus on more
than one issue at a time.”

Donald Trump considers yanking
security clearances from his critics
By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
is considering revoking the security clear-
ances of six former top national security
officials who have been critical of his
administration, a move that opponents and
experts say would be an unprecedented
politicization of the clearance process.
White House press secretary Sarah

Police are seen near the scene of a mass shooting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
By Rob Giles and Tamara Lush
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — A man whose family said he
suffered from psychosis and depression fired
a handgun into restaurants and cafes in a
lively Toronto neighborhood, killing a 10-
year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman and
wounding 13 others in an attack that has
shaken the confidence of many in the nor-
mally safe city.
Authorities on Monday evening identified
the suspect as Faisal Hussain, 29, of
Toronto, who died in an exchange of gunfire
with police. It was not immediately clear
whether he killed himself or was killed by
police.
The mass shooting in Toronto’s
Greektown district Sunday night came just
three months after a van struck and killed 10
people in an apparent attack directed at
women.
A statement from the family of Hussain
said their son had severe mental health chal-
lenges that the struggled with psychosis
and depression. They said medications did
not help him and the interventions of pro-
fessionals were unsuccessful.
“While we did our best to seek help for
him throughout his life of struggle and pain,

we could never imagine that this would be
his devastating and destructive end,” the
Hussain family said.
“Our hearts are in pieces for the victims
and for our city as we all come to grips with
this terrible tragedy. We will mourn those
who were lost for the rest of our lives.”
Police Chief Mark Saunders earlier said he
would not speculate on a motive but did not
rule out terrorism.
“It’s almost inconceivable that these
things can happen,” said Mayor John Tory.
“We were so used to living in a city where
these things didn’t happen and as we saw
them going on in the world around us (we)
thought they couldn’t happen here.”
“This is an attack against innocent fami-
lies and our entire city.”
The slain 18-year-old was identified as
Reese Fallon, a recent high school graduate
who volunteered for Canada’s Liberal party
and was due to attend McMaster University
in the fall. Her family said in a statement
they were devastated.
“She was ... smart, passionate and full of
energy. It is a huge loss,” said Canadian
Member of Parliament Nathaniel Erskine-
Smith, who knew Fallon.
Flags at Toronto City Hall as well as at
Fallon’s former high school, Malvern CI,
were lowered to half-staff.

Letters to the editor
Zero tolerance is not American
Editor,
Regarding the suggestion to abol-
ish ICE, a reader asked the absurd ques-
tion: “Why do Democrats hate
America and U.S. citizens so much?”
I’m a Democrat and U.S. citizen and
I love this country (although a bit less
so lately). But, I find the “zero-toler-
ance” immigration policy of the
Trump administration and ICE to be
reprehensible. Where is the compas-
sion stated on the base of the Statue of
Liberty: “Give me your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free?” Zero-tolerance is not in
accordance with the principles of this
country, which has been largely built
by immigrants. Trump’s shameless
fear-mongering has many believing
that immigrants, whether legal or ille-
gal, are taking jobs and putting us in
danger of increased crime. Data indi-
cates, however, that there is no more
crime committed by immigrants than
by any other cross-section of the pop-
ulace. And they take jobs that U.S. cit-
izens don’t want, and yet need to be
filled. Most of these people are simply
desperate to leave a place where they
face poverty or threats of violence.
Of course, they should enter the
country legally if they can, but they
may not have that option, and who’s
to say any of us would do any differ-
ently if we were in their position?
They deserve at least to be treated with
compassion and respect. If ICE is not
abolished, it must at least be
reformed.

Protecting Sign Hill
Editor,
The July 21, 2018, front page story
about Sign Hill land acquisition is
indeed great news for the city of South
San Francisco and a symbol for the
city: the federally listed endangered
Mission Blue butterfly. However, this
tells only tells a part of the story.
Omitted from the story of this great
victory was the advocacy of Friends of
Sign Hill, San Bruno MountainWatch,
plus scores of individuals. Without the
decadeslong pressure of these players,
I doubt there would have been the
civic will for this accomplishment.
This was a long, hard, exhausting bat-
tle, folks.
That being said, the acreage could
not been purchased without our coun-
cil, especially one particular member,

Special interests
Editor,
I wish to commend John Ebneter for
his comments at last week’s San
Mateo City Council meeting. We are
long overdue for a discussion of how
our current housing crisis effects com-
munities of color, and how develop-
ment restrictions have an outsized
impact on the displacement and segre-
gation of those communities. John’s
words were brave and clearly hit their
mark. They are also backed up by
decades of political science research.
From Richard Rothstein’s “The Color
of Law” to the cutting edge research
on land-use ballot measures just pub-
lished by Jessica Trounstine of UC
Merced, the academic world is in
agreement that downzoning and devel-
opment restrictions enforce segrega-
tion and negatively effect people of
color.

Manager/Files/Papers/Trounstine_pol
meth.pdf]
The group pushing height and den-
sity limits in San Mateo, SMRG, pur-
ports to represent us San Mateans. But
they should take a long look in the
mirror and take John’s words to heart.
I was at that council meeting, and the
people representing SMRG were
almost entirely older white homeown-
ers, wearing white to show solidarity,
of all things. Maybe they don’t under-
stand the poor optics, maybe they
don’t care. But if they get their way it
will only make San Mateo whiter (it’s
already whiter than the county at
large) and more segregated.
SMRG supporters like to accuse
their opponents of being paid actors
and special interests. However, to my
mind, defending the property values
of white homeowners at the expense
of people of color is the ultimate spe-
cial interest.

OPINION
Smearing
Editor,
Not content with making San
Mateo unaffordable for teachers, fire-
fighters and their own children, not
content with sending threatening let-
ters to the employers of people who
don’t share their policy views, sup-
porters of height limits have now
stooped to smearing a mom who
appeared before the City Council with
a baby in her arms (“City Council
speakers,” July 20).
Fundamental to the American dream
is the idea that if you work hard and
save, you can afford to buy a home.
Thanks to decades of underbuilding,
the median San Mateo home is $1.4
million, the median rent for a 2 bed-
room is $41,400 per year, and the
median after tax income is just
$75,000. We are increasingly becom-
ing a county of haves and have nots,
and as Caroline — the mom in ques-
tion — pointed out last Monday
night, a society where your ability to
afford a home depends on having
homeowning parents is a society that
betrays American values.
You don’t need to look far to find a
group with a clear financial interest in
downzoning. Thanks to downzoning,
rents have quadrupled since 1991 and
homeowners have become wealthy.
The average person who submitted a
written comment in favor of a
Measure P extension owns a home
worth $1.58 million and pays proper-
ty taxes like it’s worth just
$521,000.
The people who oppose downzon-
ing don’t have dreams of becoming
that wealthy; mostly they want to
help their friends and family afford to
stay in the Bay Area.

An American Despot
Editor,
I do not know if Trump will be a
one term president or win again in
2020 but he has already secured for
himself a place in American history
as a cruel despot, like the dictators he
admires so much. His order to rip lit-
tle children from their mother’s arms,
distribute them all over the country
and make it very difficult to be reunit-
ed with their parents will be his lega-
cy, and the stench of this act will fol-
low him for the rest of his miserable
life.

Amazing Grace
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I am found.
T’was blind, but now I see.”
It is a song each of us know all too well. Like many of
you, I have heard the hymn performed by countless musi-
cians, choirs and bands. I have seen the melody performed
in some of the most majestic churches and auditoriums.
Last year, I witnessed an unforgettable performance of
that song on Easter Sunday. This time, the performer was
not dressed in a choir robe or luxurious garments. This
time, the song was not performed in a luminous auditorium
or welcoming environment. This time, the performer did
not have the luxury of any instrument beyond her voice to
carry the melody for the live audience. Dressed in an orange
jumpsuit, the performer was a young woman imprisoned at
a county jail. The auditorium was nothing more than a lofty
hall on the fourth floor of the facility. It was a Sunday serv-
ice conducted by volunteers and local churches. No one
could have anticipated the performance that awaited us.
The young woman sang with a
stirring conviction and passion
that pierced every stone heart
occupying the room, including
mine. One by one, every
onlooking inmate and church
member were brought to tears of
unspeakable joy and broken-
ness. With tears streaming down
her face, a hopeful and over-
whelming presence began to
flood the hall. Through those
moving lyrics, she told her
story. A story of a lost young
woman finding within her hour
of darkness a light by which to
Jonathan Madison
return home. The story of how one’s sight was restored after
a lifetime of being blind. It is no secret that this story
belongs to each of us. At some point in our lives, we have
all been given a grace that we did not deserve and could not
earn. A grace that opened our eyes and gave us an opportu-
nity to reposition our lives.
Whenever I find myself reaching for judgment on those
imprisoned, I think of that heavenly voice — a bright light
shining in the darkness of a county jail. That young woman
is certainly not the first inmate I have witnessed possess a
world-changing talent or gift. I have witnessed musicians,
authors, poets and orators — many with the capacity to
change the world, and yet confined behind bars.
Lest we forget history’s lesson about those who found the
courage from a prison cell to completely change the world.
It took 27 years of confinement in the world’s most ruthless
prison facility for Nelson Mandela to find the wisdom and
strength to become South Africa’s President. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. wrote his most famous expressions entitled,
“Letter from the Birmingham Jail,” from a prison facility
in Birmingham. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a young German
priest confined in 1942 for leading a resistance against
Germany’s extermination of the Jewish people, wrote his
most famous discussions from an internment camp just
before his execution. The Apostle Paul wrote 13 books of
the Bible from a prison facility.
I am a firm believer that victims of crime deserve justice
to the highest degree. Nonetheless, I am convinced that our
nation’s leaders have become apathetic to those confined in
our nation’s prison industrial complex. Consider the evi-
dence. While our nation holds only 5 percent of the world’s
population, we imprison 25 percent of our world’s popula-
tion — or approximately 2.5 million individuals. It boils
down to an unnerving reality — 1 in every 100 Americans
is behind bars or on parole. California has more prisons
than any other — 33.
Realizing that our government’s lack of leadership on the
issue would not change, in the 1970s and 1980s, communi-
ties began to engage in the rehabilitation process, birthing
an entirely new concept of rehabilitation called restorative
justice. It is an approach to criminal justice that engages
both victims and the community at large in rehabilitating
offenders.
I am pleased that the city of San Mateo has local partici-
pants contributing to the restoration of offenders. The
Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo County has
offered restorative justice and rehabilitation services for
inmates since its inception in 1931. The organization
offers inmates returning to the community with an opportu-
nity to make amends and restore relationships in the com-
munity. The services they offer range from housing, feed-
ing and clothing.
One thing is certain. Without community participation in
our nation’s rehabilitation efforts, there is virtually no
chance of our government effectively addressing the prob-
lem. We should remember that each of us have fallen short
of perfection in every aspect of our lives. No matter how
great one’s offense or fateful their mistake, through grace,
we all have a chance to find a meaningful life free from
crime.

Stock indexes end unevenly

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. stock indexes capped a day
of listless trading with a mixed
finish Monday, as gains by banks
and technology companies were
offset by losses in other sectors.
Bond yields rose, pointing to a
pickup in interest rates on con-
sumer loans, which helped drive
bank shares higher. Technology
stocks also posted solid gains,
adding to the sector’s market-lead-
ing showing this year. Alphabet,
Google’s parent company, surged
in aftermarket trading after it
reported its latest quarterly
results.
Those gains were overshadowed
by losses in industrial stocks,
consumer goods companies and
energy, among other sectors.
More stocks fell than rose on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Stocks mostly drifted in a nar-
row range for much of the day as
investors sized up the latest batch
of corporate quarterly results at the
start of the busiest week in the
reporting season.
“Earnings are coming in better
than expected, but you’re not get-
ting much of a reaction from the
marketplace,” said Tom Martin,
senior portfolio manager of
Globalt Investments. “People are
biding their time.”
The S&P 500 index rose 5.15
points, or 0. 2 percent, to
2, 806. 98. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average fell 13. 83
points, or 0. 1 percent, to
25, 044. 29. The Nasdaq gained
21.67 points, or 0.3 percent, to
7,841.87. The Russell 2000 index
of smaller-company stocks picked
up 1.61 points, or 0.1 percent, to

Tesla investors again worry about carmaker’s finances

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Tesla’s finances
rather than its cars were once again
in focus Monday following a report
that the company asked suppliers
for refunds to help it turn a profit.
A memo provided to The Wall
Street Journal showed the electric
car maker asked one supplier to
return what it calls a meaningful
amount of money on its payments
since 2016. The memo came from a
global supply manager and said the
request was essential to Tesla’s con-
tinued operations, the Journal said.
The report also said it’s not clear

The company said it is also talk- only two quarterly profits in its his-
tory and has never made a profit for

Efraim Levy, a senior equity ana-
lyst for CFRA, said he found Tesla’s
request unusual.
“I haven’t heard of this being
done before and I’ve been follow-
ing the industry for 20 years,” he
said. “It sounds like something that
happens when you’re struggling.”
Itay Michaeli, an analyst for Citi
Investment Research, said
automakers sometimes ask for dis-
counts from suppliers, but those are
relatively minor matters. He said
it’s more serious if the company
needs more cash to continue operat-
ing, noting that investors are like-
ly to be concerned if Tesla has to
take unusual steps to shore up its
finances. Tesla had $2.7 billion in
cash on hand at the end of the first
quarter and many experts think it
will need to raise money soon. One
way to do that is by selling stock,
which could send its share price
lower still.
CEO and top shareholder Elon
Musk has said that Tesla intends to
become profitable in the second
half of 2018, and analysts said
Monday that the memo is an
attempt to meet that goal. But they
said if Tesla has to try this hard to
meet its target, it might be a self-
defeating effort.

Veracyte reports a loss of $6.2M in 2Q Business briefs

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO — Veracyte
Inc. on Monday reported a loss of $6.2 mil-
lion in its second quarter.
On a per-share basis, the South San
Francisco-based company said it had a loss
of 18 cents.
The results surpassed Wall Street expecta-
tions.
The average estimate of four analysts sur-
veyed by Zacks Investment Research was
for a loss of 27 cents per share.
The molecular diagnostic company posted
revenue of $22.8 million in the period,
which also topped Street forecasts. Four
analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $20.7
million.
Veracyte expects full-year revenue in the
range of $87 million to $89 million.
NY Daily News slashes staffing in half
NEW YORK — The New York tabloid
Daily News cut half of its newsroom staff
Monday including Jim Rich, the paper’s
editor in chief.
The paper was sold to Tronc Inc. last year
for $1, with the owner of the Chicago
Tribune assuming liabilities and debt.
In an email sent to staff Monday, Tronc said
the remaining staff at the Daily News will
focus on breaking news involving “crime,
civil justice and public responsibility.”
The newspaper has been a key fixture in
New York City for the last century. It has
won 11 Pulitzer Prizes, including last year
for its work with ProPublica on the abuse of
eviction rules in New York City.
Alphabet’s Q2 profit triggers
rally, despite $5.1B EU fine
By Ryan Nakashima
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MENLO PARK — Google parent Alphabet
on Monday reported second-quarter earnings
that pleased Wall Street, even as it booked a
$5.1 billion charge to cover a fine levied by
European regulators.
The company reported a profit of $3.2 bil-
lion for the three months that ended June 30.
Google has said it will appeal the
European fine but Alphabet accounted for it
on its books nonetheless. Excluding that
amount, the Mountain View company’s
earnings came to $11.75 per share, which
topped the $9.45 per share expected by ana-
lysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research.
Alphabet Inc.’s stock jumped 3.6 percent
in after-market trading.
Europe’s Competition Commission last
week accused Google of unfairly forcing
handset makers to take its Chrome, Search
and Play Store apps when using its free
Android mobile system. While Google has
said it will appeal, it has until mid-October
to adjust its behavior.
Some observers speculated the ruling
might make it impossible for Google to
continue to make Android available for
free, which lowers the price of smart-
p h o n es an d en ab l es Go o g l e t o mak e
more money from ads.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai dismissed
those fears on a call with investors.
“I’m confident we can find a way to make
sure Android is available at scale to users
everywhere,” he said.
Last week’s European fine came about a
year after Google was stung by a similar
$2.7 billion fine that the EU said was for
favoring its shopping listings in search
results. The EU has one other case against
Google regarding its AdSense advertising
platform for publishers that is still ongo-
ing.
“There is no end in sight, I feel like, for
fines from the European Union for compa-
nies like Google and Facebook, ” said
Forrester analyst Collin Colburn. “That’s
going to raise more and more questions
about Google’s business.”
The internet search leader posted revenue
of $32.66 billion in the period, up 26 per-
cent, driven by ad revenue from mobile
searches. After subtracting Alphabet’s
advertising commissions, revenue was
$26.24 billion, also exceeding Street fore-
casts of $25.64 billion.
Through the close of regular-session trad-
ing Monday, Alphabet’s stock had risen 15
percent since the beginning of the year,
while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has
risen 5 percent.

A dazzling debut
Cardinals rookie fires
seven no-hit innings
By Joe Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Daniel Poncedeleon wasn’t
going to let a sore neck ruin his major league
debut, not after all he’s come through in the
last year. The Cardinals’ determined rookie
shook it off and made St. Louis history.
Poncedeleon was sensational 14 months
after suffering a severe head injury, throwing
no-hit ball for seven innings Monday night
before Eugenio Suarez led the Cincinnati
Reds’ rally in the ninth for a 2-1 victory.
The 26-year-old right-hander was hit on
the right temple by a line drive while pitch-
ing for Triple-A Memphis on May 9 last
year, fracturing his skull and causing bleed-
ing in the brain. He had emergency surgery
followed by months of slow recovery.
Poncedeleon was one of the top pitchers
in the Pacific Coast League when St. Louis
called him up Monday to help their injury-
depleted rotation. With 10 family members
cheering from the stands, he walked three
and struck out three , threw 116 pitches and
gave way to a pinch-hitter in the eighth with
St. Louis up 1-0.
“I don’t know if words can describe that,”
interim manager Mike Shildt said. “It’s
what’s magical about this game and what we
love about this game — stories like that.”
Poncedeleon prayed for calmness before
his debut, went to the bullpen to warm up
and hurt his neck on one pitch.
“I tweaked my neck in the bullpen and had
a hard time looking toward home plate,” he
said. “I was a little nervous then.”
The neck was fine once the game began.
Poncedeleon joined the Dodgers’ Ross
Stripling as the only major leaguers to
throw at least seven no-hit innings in their
debuts since 1908.
Given his high pitch count, Shildt had no
thought about leaving him in.
Jordan Hicks gave up a one-out single up
the middle by pinch-hitter Phillip Ervin in
the eighth for Cincinnati’s first hit.

There were flags of

Not surprisingly, the Stars and Stripes

And fanny packs. Tons of fanny packs.
I haven’t seen as many fanny packs since
the late 1980s, early 1990s.
Flag waving, however, is quaint com-

Lochte suspended until July ’19 for use of IV
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Ryan
Lochte posted a photo for the world to see,
and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency noticed.
It got him suspended — again.
The longtime U.S. swimming star has
been banned from competition until July
2019, which means the 12-time Olympic
medalist cannot compete as planned in the
national championships that start this week
in California. Lochte will also be ineligible
for other top meets, including the Pan
Pacific Championships later this year and
next year’s world championships.
“This is devastating,” Lochte said.
He did not take a banned substance. But he
got an intravenous injection of vitamins in
May — and since it exceeded 100 milli-
liters, no matter what was involved, he
broke anti-doping rules. The 14-month ban,
retroactive to May 24 and announced
Monday by USADA, is his second in less
than two years following his 10-month sus-
pension for his behavior during a drunken
incident that created widespread scorn at the
2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics .
“A rule is a rule and I accept that there is a
technical violation,” Lochte said. “I am
hopeful other athletes will learn from my
mistake and be mindful of this rule, as well
as others.”
Lochte said he took the IV because both
his wife and his son were ill and had recent-
ly visited hospitals, and that he didn’t want
to get sick as well. He said the IV contained
B-12 and other vitamins that could be pur-
chased at any pharmacy.
He and his wife both got IV infusions in
Sparano died of heart disease
MINNEAPOLIS — A county medical
examiner says Minnesota Vikings offen-
sive line coach Tony Sparano died of heart
disease.
The Hennepin County medical examiner’s
office said Monday that the 56-year-old
Sparano died of arteriosclerotic heart dis-
ease, or hardening of the arteries. The man-
ner of death is listed as natural.
Sparano died Sunday in Eden Prairie, a
Minneapolis suburb. He had been the
Vikings’ offensive line coach since 2016.
Sparano began his NFL coaching career in
1999 and had stints as a head coach with the
Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders.
He was the Dolphins’ head coach from 2008-
11 and went 29-32. He went 11-5 and won the
AFC East in his first season with Miami.
Sparano also spent time with the Browns,
Redskins, Jaguars, Cowboys and 49ers.

Ryan Lochte’ yearlong suspension prevents him from competing in Irvine later this week.
Gainesville, Florida, he said, to bolster
their immune systems.
“I’ve been swimming my whole life and
I’ve been monitored by USADA for my
entire competitive career,” Lochte said. “I
have never taken a prohibited substance. I
have never attempted to gain any advantage
over my competition by putting anything
illegal in my body. I would never do that.”
In Brazil, he there were questions about
his version of what happened.
This time, he revealed what happened —
obviously unaware of the ramifications it
would bring.
Lochte’s violation came to light when he
posted the photo of him getting the IV on
his social media accounts. That triggered
the USADA investigation, one that Lochte
“fully cooperated” with according to U.S.
officials.
NFL briefs
49ers sign first-round draft pick
SANTA CLARA — The San Francisco
49ers said Monday that they have signed
first-round draft pick Mike McGlinchey to a
four-year deal.
The 49ers drafted McGlinchey, the con-
sensus top tackle available in the draft, with
the ninth overall pick in April.
The 6-foot-8, 315-pound McGlinchey
played both tackle positions at Notre Dame
before settling in at left tackle as a junior.
He was projected to be one of the top left
tackles in 2017 but he returned to Notre
Dame and improved his stock.
He will most likely play on the right side
in the NFL since San Francisco already has
six-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley,
who is the longest-tenured player on the
49ers.
ROB SCHUMACHER/USA TODAY SPORTS
“Lochte received an intravenous infusion
of permitted substances at an infusion clin-
ic,” the USADA announcement of the sus-
pension said. Under most circumstances,
athletes cannot receive IVs unless related to
a hospitalization or when allowed under the
terms of a USADA-approved exemption —
and Lochte fell into neither of those cate-
gories.
Suspensions for use of an IV are extreme-
ly rare: The USADA database shows only
two other athletes being sanctioned for
using such a method, one of them getting a
six-month suspension and the other a 14-
month ban, just like Lochte. That same
database shows that before Monday, no
other U.S. swimmer in the last 10 years, for
any reason including actual positive tests,
had been suspended for more than one year
by USADA.

Rays shut down
ace pitcher Snell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay
Rays have put All-Star left-hander Blake
Snell on the 10-day disabled list with
fatigue in his throwing shoulder.
Snell pitched 1 2/3 innings in the All-Star
game on July 17, five days after his last
start for the Rays.
Snell had an MRI on Monday that showed
no structural issues. The team is hopeful that
Snell will miss just one start.
“I think it’ll be quick, I honestly do,”
Snell said. “It might be just fatigue from the
first-half workload, and I’m hoping all I
need is a little extra rest.”
The 25-year-old Snell had been scheduled
to make his first post-All-Star appearance
Tuesday night against the New York
Yankees. No replacement had been named as
of late Monday afternoon.
Snell is 12-5 with a 2.27 ERA in 20 starts.
He is tied for second in the AL in wins, third
in ERA and eighth in strikeouts with 134 in
119 innings.
Melvin said.
The Rangers used two position players to
pitch in the same game for the first time.
They have used 14 different position players
on the mound. It was the first career pitch-
ing appearance Tocci and Rua.
Short hops
The A’s (58-43) are a season-best 15
games over .500, and their 24-7 stretch
since June 16 that is the best in the majors
during that span. They still trail Houston
and Seattle in the AL West. ... Davis has 22
homers and 49 RBIs in 47 career games
against the Rangers.
Trainer’s room
Melvin said RHP Daniel Gossett, out
since June 4 with a strained right elbow,
“had a little bit of a setback” and has
stopped throwing. Gossett will see another
doctor soon after again feeling some tight-
ness.
Up next
Rangers lefty Mike Minor (6-6), who
pitched only 77 2/3 innings as a reliever for
Kansas City last year after missing two full
seasons because of shoulder surgery, will
reach 100 innings this season when he
records two outs in his 19th start for Texas.
The A’s will recall RHP Frankie Montas (5-
2) from Triple-A Nashville.

Brailsford blames French cycling culture for abuse of Sky
By Samuel Petrequin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARCASSONNE, France — Team Sky
principal Dave Brailsford blames the French
cycling culture for fans abusing his Tour de
France leaders Geraint Thomas and Chris
Froome.
Spectators have been taunting four-time
champion Froome since he was cleared of
doping just before the race started, while
Thomas has been whistled and booed at for
being Froome’s teammate.
Sky has been the dominant team at the Tour
since Bradley Wiggins became the first rider
to win the three-week race in 2012. With six
stages left of this race which ends in Paris on
Sunday, Team Sky is in an excellent position
to achieve a 1-2 and to secure a sixth win in
seven years. Thomas, chasing his first Tour
win, leads Froome by 1
minute, 39 seconds over-
all.
At a news conference
during the race’s second
rest day on Monday,
Brailsford took umbrage
at the treatment inflicted
on his riders, who have
Chris Froome been verbally abused and
spat at over the past two
weeks.
“I don’t think it’s going to stop,” he said.
“I’m not too optimistic on that front. We
accept it and we have to make a decision
about how to behave. We’re trying to remain
dignified, we’re trying not to react, and we’re
trying not to get distracted by it.”
Brailford’s lack of diplomacy is likely to
add fuel to the fire as the race enters the
Pyrenees, where fans generally show up in
large numbers along twisting and narrow
roads, often getting over-excited in a booze-
fueled atmosphere.
Froome raced all season under the cloud of
a potential ban after a urine sample during his
victory at the Spanish Vuelta in September
showed a concentration of the asthma drug
salbutamol that was twice the permitted
level. The International Cycling Union ruled
just before the Tour that his sample results
did not constitute a breach to the anti-doping
rules.
The Tour threatened to bar Froome until
that ruling, which still upset French fans.
Brailfsord said he has witnessed this type
of angry reaction only in France.
“We raced in Italy and Chris’ case was open
when we were at the Tour of Italy and the
Italians were fantastic, to be fair to them,”
Brailsford said. “The Spanish, fantastic. It
just seems to be a French thing. Like a
French cultural thing. I’m not sure they’d
have liked their football players being spat
at in Russia (at the World Cup). I’m sure there
would have been a word or two about that.”
Brailsford added the fans’ lack of respect
could eventually lead foreign teams to stay
away from the Tour de France.
“The Tour is promoted as the world’s great-
est annual international sporting event and if
that’s what you want to host and if you want
the best riders in the world to come to your
country to take part, then maybe treat them
with a little more respect,” he said.
“If you don’t want them to come then
maybe race only with French teams, that
might work. But if you want them to come
then treat them with the same respect that
you’d want for your team.”

matching gray and black striped tops and

common sights, as well.
There were the bathing suit people who
wore little more than that, along with crazy
suit fans. You know those “Loudmouth”

play consisted of a repeating pattern of
“Star Wars” stormtrooper helmets.
Then, of course, there were the ubiquitous
blue-wig wearing Fiji supporters, who are
by far, the most represented fan base in
attendance. When the Fiji team takes the

While the action on the field is the focus,
the fan experience is just as good. If you

A couple weeks ago, AT&T Park
announced it was selling $19.25 beer,
which of course sent people into a frenzy
of complaints.
I’m here to tell you: it’s the best value in
the park. These are no ordinary, 12-ounce
or 16-ounce drinks. No, these nearly $20
beers are what are affectionately referred to
by beer connoisseurs as “bombers” – large,
22-ounce beers. Good beers: Lagunitas,
Stone, legitimate “craft” brews.
But $20 bucks? When you consider a 10-
ounce “regular craft beer” at AT&T which
was nearly $15 and an eight-ounce cocktail
is $16.25, a $20, 22-ounce beer is a down-
right bargain. That’s double the amount of
liquid for about five dollars more.
Look, it’s all super expensive at the ball
park. Water is $5.75 and “fancy” nachos are
$15. There is no such thing as affordable.
But, if you feel the need to have beer, you
can’t find a better deal than 20 bucks.

Nowitzki officially signed for record 21st season with Mavs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki is officially
signed for a record 21st season with the
Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavericks announced Monday that
they had re-signed the 13-time All-Star. That
was their plan when they declined a team
option on Nowitzki’s contract at the start of
free agency to create more room under the
salary cap before signing DeAndre Jordan.

Due to pitch-count limits, HMB’s three

minor league arms. In 2017, Cyr saved 18
games at Double-A Richmond. This year, he
saved three more at Richmond to start the

Ray Black and Caleb Simpson.
After pitching two innings against
Altoona on May 1, though, Cyr was shut
down for the year. The injury was related to

HMB’s offense exploded for a six-run
third to front Vazquez’s gem. And the right-
hander did almost all the rest, save inning
of relief from Charlie Underwood in the
sixth to preserve the shutout.
Luca Scatena led off the breakthrough
inning with a double. He moved to third on
a passed ball only to get cut down at the
plate on a grounder by Cleary. The next five
HMB batters reached base though, with
Jaden Hutchens doubling, a single by Liam
Harrington, a single by Ian Armstrong,
Vazquez reaching on an error, and Ryan
Harrington tripling. Moss Michaelson
capped the rally with a double.
a fracture in his elbow with which he con-
tended for years, though it had never
become an issue until this season.
“It’s something that I’ve always had, even
growing up,” Cyr said. “But it never caused
me any problems or discomfort. As of late
… my arm didn’t’ feel great like it always
does.”
Cyr was rehabbing Monday while watch-
ing his old collegiate buddy’s big league
debut on the television, lifting light
weights and shouting at the television.
Poncedeleon provoked Cyr’s attention by
enjoying the debut of a lifetime, firing
seven no-hit innings before exiting due to a
high pitch count in St. Louis’ 2-1 loss in
forward Maarty Leunen and cash from the
Los Angeles Clippers for two-way forward
Johnathan Motley and the rights to guard
Renaldas Seibutis.
Leunen has spent the past 10 seasons
playing professionally in Turkey, Italy and
Germany, most recently with Italy’s S.S.
Felice Scandone. A native of Washington
state, Leunen was drafted by Houston in the
second round out of Oregon 10 years ago.
His rights were traded to the Clippers in
2016.
Don Scatena said Michaelson’s double
would have been a home run in most parks,
but the 225-foot gap at Alta Mesa proved
too spacious.
“It’s probably the furthest ball he’s ever
hit in a game,” Don Scatena said. “And it
would have been out of every field we’ve
played on previously.”
Vazquez faced just one perilous inning in
the fifth. Turlock had runners at second and
third with one out. But HMB recorded the
second out on a liner to Ryan Harrington at
second base. Then a soft popup into foul ter-
ritory saw right fielder Luca Scatena race
over for a foot-first sliding catch to end the
Cincinnati.
“I watched every single pitch,” Cyr said.
“Excited was a understatement. I was yelling
at the TV. … Just him being my mentor and
my old throwing partner, it was so excit-
ing.”
A graduate of Kennedy High School-
Fremont, Cyr pitched at Skyline in 2012
alongside another current minor leaguer,
right-hander Julian Merryweather.
Merryweather, a Serra graduate, is also out
for the year following arm surgery prior to
the season; he reached Triple-A last year
where he started 16 games for Cleveland
affiliate Columbus.

Motley signed a two-way contract with
Dallas after going undrafted out of Baylor
last year. He appeared in 11 games as a rook-
ie, averaging 8.7 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Seibutis was a second-round pick by the
Mavericks in 2007. The Lithuanian has
been playing professionally overseas for
16 years. Seibutis spent this past season
with Spain’s Basket Zaragoza.
Dallas also signed guard-forward Ding
Yanyuhang, who has played professionally
in China for seven years. Ding was with the
inning.
“I just knew I had to put my best stuff out
there and I’m lucky I have a good defense
behind me,” Vazquez said. “That helped me
out a lot.”
Cleary paced HMB at the plate with a 2-

fourth.
HMB need win two more games through
the elimination bracket to reach Thursday’s

twice to earn the Nor Cal banner.

“Yeah,” Cyr said. “I should be ready come

Cyr said he wasn’t surprised by
Poncedeleon’s dominance. In 2014, the
right-hander posted a 9-2 record with a 1.60
ERA for Embry-Riddle before becoming the
ninth-round draft pick of the Cardinals.
“Every time he touched the ball for us it
was like that,” Cyr said.
The following year, Cyr was drafted in the
10th round by the Giants.

Lion Dave Van Wart,
2017-2018 Millbrae Lions
Club President
“We Serve”
The Millbrae Lions Club
Proudly serving the community since 1938
Celebrating
Youth Week 2018
President’s Message
One of the prime reasons I became
a Millbrae Lion back in 2011 was
for all their continued support to
programs and causes, not only in
our city but also to other local
communities and still others that had
a reach internationally. As this years
President I wanted to focus on our
youth programs and especially our
schools.
Early in my term the tragic North
Bay fires erupted and our club rallied.
We took immediate action – the club
membership quickly focused on our
upcoming crab feed annual fundraiser
and put it on steroids. The end result
was that we took all the proceeds and
partnered with other local contributors
and funneled $45,000 to North Bay fire
victims.
The clubs efforts again focused
back on youth programs. This year
we decided to involve all the Millbrae
Schools in our holiday giving plan for
struggling families vs. our previous
years focus of just one school. The
club also made sure we helped as many
schools as possible with their internal
fundraisers – usually that involved our
famous pancake breakfast or financial
donations to cover the food costs for
the events.
As a dedicated Boy Scout leader
for years I made sure we continued to
participate in the success of both our
city Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout
troop. The community also associates
the club with our youth baseball
league. This year we put the finishing
touches on a three-year overhaul
of the program with a new website,
electronic sign up and payment,
remodeled snack shack and a scripted
opening day ceremony for all of the
community to enjoy.
The past few months as the school
year starts to wind down we sponsored
the Peace Poster Contest, Student
Speaker competition and finally Youth
Week activities that awarded our top
essay writers along with awarding our
top educator of the year.
I am so blessed and honored to be
this past year’s leader of such a fine
organization.

3 Millbrae Lion’s Club Youth Week 2018

Congratulations and a big round of applause were

given to each of these excellent students for a job well
done!
Along with a beautiful trophy each student
received a certificate of participation, a $50.00 cash
award for Second Place winners or $100.00 cash award
for First Place winners, and all were photographed for
the Newspaper. The students were then given time at
the microphone to introduce their guests and give the
title of their essay.
A special plaque of appreciation and certificate
was given to Taylor Middle School Principal Phil
Hophan (accepted by Millbrae School District Assis-
tant Superintendent Clarie Beltrami).

Regarding the “Excellence in Mentoring Award”:

In 2009 I was President of the Millbrae Lions

Club and wanted to create a way for us to show appre-
ciation to community leaders who give of themselves
to educate our youth. That year we enthusiastically
bestowed a brand new “Excellence in Mentoring
Award” upon Millbrae educator Robert Silva. Keep-
ing up with that original spirit it has been an honor
each year to acknowledge, admire and say thank you
to an extraordinary individual who has made positive
impacts on the lives of our Millbrae students.
Earlier this year EXCELLENCE IN MENTOR-
ING AWARD Nomination Forms were distributed to
the schools giving the community an opportunity to
nominate an individual by writing up to 300 words on
why he or she should be selected to receive this pres-
tigious honor. Each submitted nomination form was
reviewed and a winner was selected in confidentiality.
The final decision was difficult since each nominee had
unique and deserving qualities, but based on the sub-
mitted criteria it was obvious that one special person
stood out.
In brief: The 2018 EXCELLENCE IN MENTO-
RING AWARD, which is also known as the EDUCA-
TOR OF THE YEAR AWARD, honors a well known
Taylor Middle School 6th Grade Teacher. The fol-
lowing excerpts were written by Taylor Middle School
Students Jisu and Jinu Chang:
Jisu: “Mrs. Siguenza (SIG-GWEN-ZA) is known
for spending her time to find new, innovative fun ways
to teach. She is nice and funny and is different from
other teachers because she makes her own slideshows
from multiple sources, making learning much more
fun for her students. For Mrs. Siguenza teaching is
more than just a job, it’s an opportunity for her to
make an impact on her students”.
Jinu: “Mrs. Siguenza IS the perfect amount of

BOB
Continued from page 1
Navy during World War II and relocated to
the Bay Area after the war. He graduated
from University of California, Berkeley, in
1949 then took his first teaching job at
Gustine High School in Merced County in
1950 before relocating to South San
Francisco four years later.
At South City, he was a longtime physi-
cal education teacher, and also taught sci-
ence classes. Brian’s first love, though,
was baseball. And he not only innovated a
unique style of play in the high school
game, but helped build little league base-
ball throughout the city. In 1960, he found-
ed the South San Francisco Pee-Wee League
for ages 7-10, and later did the same with
the SSF Midget League for ages 11-12.
The longtime coach became synonymous
with an aggressive brand of baseball on the
high school diamond.
“You had to prepare to play his style,”
said Carlos Roman, former manager at El
Camino, who coached against Brian for
many years. “He didn’t change, regardless
of his players, what type of players he had,
he had his style — ‘You have to stop me.’
… It was very aggressive. Sometimes
unorthodox, and I mean that in a very good
way. His philosophy was to put pressure on
high school players and make them play.”
Known as “Mr. Brian” to his players,
LOCAL
Orange Park was his home away from
home. It was a common sight to see Brian
in a safari hat pushing a wheelbarrow of
baseballs to the pitchers mound, where he’d
set up his pitching machine for daily bat-
ting practice.
“He loved the game so much,” said Lou
Zuardo, Roman’s predecessor as El Camino
manager. “You go down to Orange Park and
he’d be on that field every day.”
And his players loved him for it.
When Brian set out to retire five numbers
of South City baseball greats, the first one
to be honored was Lou Lucca, Tony Lucca’s
older brother, who graduated in 1988. Lou
Lucca was brought up to the varsity team as
a wide-eyed sophomore and was immediate-
ly thrust into the top of the batting order.
He went on to become one of Brian’s prized
pupils, and one of the finest players South
City ever produced.
Lou Lucca said Brian’s brilliance was in
his teaching players how to compete. It’s
something of a bygone era now, but in
Brian’s heyday, he would employ games
within the game during practices. His
reward for the winners of various games?
Watching the losing side clean up after
practice.
“He taught us the game,” Lou Lucca said.
“He taught us a lot about manners, about
punctuality. He taught us how to be men. He
made us all want to play at the next level,
sure, but he impacted our lives. Especially,
so many guys, we played together all year.
You could see the average players become
good players.”
Brian brought his share of new-school
conventions to the diamond, as well. He
coached year-round, modeling his offsea-
son teams through the summer and fall after
the Gordon Realty team in San Francisco
founded by former Los Angeles Dodgers
scout Dick Murray. Brian — between high
school and the offseason — would coach up
to 160 games per year.
His insistence that players should play
baseball year-round was controversial in
many circles, but he was diligent in this
approach. It molded generations of players.
“And they were terrific players, funda-
mentally sound,” Roman said. “And if you
were on the bases in front of them, on any
passed ball or wild pitch, you had to look
out or you’d have some guys running up
your backside.”
Brian is a member of the California
Baseball Hall of Fame, the American
Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame and the San
Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame. He was
an avid baseball storyteller, and was adept
at cataloging each of his years, and each of
his players, throughout his legendary
career.
Brad Brian, the youngest of Brian’s two
sons, recalled a banquet for South City
baseball in which approximately 125 play-
ers attended.
“He talked about every single one of them
and had something specific to say about
everyone from when they played at South
City High,” Brad Brian said.
Tuesday • July 24, 2018 19
Robert E. Brian was born Nov. 3, 1925,
in San Diego. He is survived by Leona, his
wife of 70 years, sons Bruce and Brad,
daughter-in-law Claire, four grandchildren
Jeff, Lisa Leone, Allison and Leslie, and six
great-grandchildren Tori, Brian, Michael,
Caitlyn, Elena and Sean.
Brian was also a lover of jazz music,
specifically the works of pianists Duke
Ellington and Count Basie, and also had an
affinity for rhythm-and-blues virtuoso Ray
Charles.
When Brian retired in 2001, it was former
South City Athletic Director Matt
Schaukowitch who took over the team.
“Bob had a lot of wind and a lot of legacy
behind him and to try to take over a pro-
gram that he left was an honor, ”
Schaukowitch said. “And, no doubt, a chal-
lenge in the same aspect. It was a bless-
ing.”
Brian was still a familiar sight at Orange
Park for many years, sitting in his lawn
chair beyond the left-field fence on the
sidewalk of Orange Avenue, until he could
no longer do so in recent years due to health
reasons. He attended the South City base-
ball alumni game every year without fail,
though, including the most recent one prior
to the 2018 season.
Brian lived in his South San Francisco
home through his last days, with family
thanks going to caregiver Ira Aure “for her
dedication and love.”
A private burial service will be held for
immediate family. A memorial service for a
future date has yet to be announced.

Health care industry branches
into fresh meals, rides to gym
By Tom Murphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
That hot lunch delivered to your door?
Your health insurer might pick up the tab.
The cleaning crew that fixed up your
apartment while you recovered from a
stroke? The hospital staff helped set that
up.
Health care is shifting in a fundamental
way for millions of Americans. Some insur-
ers are paying for rides to fitness centers
and checking in with customers to help ward
off loneliness. Hospital networks are hir-
ing more workers to visit people at home
and learn about their lives, not just their ill-
nesses.
The health care system is becoming more
focused on keeping patients healthy instead
of waiting to treat them once they become
sick or wind up in the hospital. This isn’t a
new concept, but it’s growing. Insurers are
expanding what they pay for to confront
rising costs, realizing that a person’s
health depends mostly on what happens
outside a doctor’s visit.
“For many people, taking care of their
blood pressure or their diabetes is not par-
ticularly high on their list when they don’t
know where their next meal is coming
from,” said Dr. Lori Tishler, vice president
of medical affairs with the nonprofit insurer
Commonwealth Care Alliance.
Some of this shift is driven by how health
plans pay doctors and other care providers.
For decades, they’ve reimbursed mainly
for each procedure or service performed,
which limits the type of help a doctor can
provide. But insurers are shifting more to
reimbursement that centers on the patient’s
health. That often involves paying

Health care workers display protective gear, which hospital staff would wear to protect them from Ebola infection, inside an
isolation room as part of a media tour in the emergency department of Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, N.Y.
Doctors: Woman may spread
Ebola a year after infection
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A Liberian woman who
probably caught Ebola in 2014 may
have infected three relatives a year
after she first fell sick, doctors report-
ed in a study published Monday.
There have been previous instances
of men spreading Ebola to women via
sexual transmission — the virus can
survive in semen for more than a year
— but the new case is the first time sci-
entists have suggested that Ebola was
spread from a woman after such a pro-
longed period.
The rare possibility of Ebola spread-
ing long after infection highlights the
importance of monitoring survivors,
especially with the imminent end of
the most recent flare-up of the disease
in Congo. That country’s latest out-
break, announced in May, has so far
recorded 38 confirmed cases, including
14 deaths. It is due to be declared con-
tained on Wednesday, which will mark

42 days, or two incubation periods,
since the last case was recorded.
“The Ebola virus hides in places
where it can escape the antibodies
from a body’s immune system, so there
is a need for vigilance,” said Dr. David
Heymann, a professor of infectious
diseases at the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who
was not linked to the new research.
The unusual cluster of cases in
Liberia was identified after the
woman’s 15-year-old son was diag-
nosed with Ebola in November 2015.
Scientists then tested the rest of his
family: the woman, her husband and
their three younger sons.
The 15-year-old died a few days later.
The father and an 8-year-old boy were
positive for Ebola, but both recovered.
The couple’s 5-year-old son wasn’t
infected.
Doctors found Ebola antibodies in

month-old baby, suggesting a previ-

ous infection and the possibility she
passed on protection to her infant son
through breastfeeding.
Researchers reported genetic simi-
larities between the viruses taken from
the father, the two boys and the strain
circulating during the 2014-15 out-
break across Liberia, Guinea and Sierra
Leone, which ultimately killed more
than 11,000 people in the biggest
Ebola epidemic in history.
Scientists discovered the woman had
cared for her brother in July 2014, who
died after suffering Ebola-like symp-
toms but before being tested for the
disease. The woman later experienced a
similar illness, but never sought care.
Several weeks after giving birth to a
baby in September 2015, the woman
developed problems including fatigue
and breathing difficulties. Doctors say
that because pregnancy lowers the
body’s immune defenses, that may
have allowed for the Ebola virus to re-
emerge.

Melania Trump to be briefed
on babies born addicted to drugs
WASHINGTON — Melania Trump will receive a briefing
on babies born addicted to drugs when she visits a
Tennessee children’s hospital this week.
The first lady’s Tuesday visit to
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at
Vanderbilt in Nashville is tied to her “Be
Best” initiative. Mrs. Trump unveiled the
initiative at the White House in May to
focus on childhood well-being, social
media use and opioid abuse.
The White House says the first lady
Melania Trump will participate in a roundtable discus-
sion on neonatal abstinence syndrome,
which occurs when a baby withdraws from drugs — usually
opioids — that they were exposed to in the womb. The pow-
erful class of painkillers is driving the deadliest drug over-
dose epidemic in U.S. history.
She’ll also tour a neonatal intensive care unit and visit
with patients.
Chinese premier orders
investigation of vaccine makers
BEIJING — China’s No. 2 leader has ordered an investi-
gation of its vaccine industry after violations by a maker of
rabies vaccine for humans prompted a public outcry.
Premier Li Keqiang’s order followed the disclosure that
Changchun Changsheng Life Sciences Ltd. was accused of
fabricating production and inspection records for its rabies
vaccine.
Li promised to “resolutely crack down” on violations that
endanger public safety. He said the incident “violated a
moral bottom line of the people and must be explained
clearly to the public.”
There were no reports of injuries due to the rabies vaccine
but the disclosure prompted an outpouring of criticism
online.
China has suffered a series of deaths and injuries due to
fake or shoddy drugs, milk and other products blamed on lax
oversight or corruption by regulators.

measure intended to help offset construc-
tion costs for the proposed facility.
The tax, which would cost property own-
ers about $8.70 per $100,000 of assessed
value for 30 years, would be combined
with insurance payments and additional
funds to replace the center lost in 2016.
Mayor Gina Papan said she believes the
tax measure, if approved, would help
finance establishment of a safe, modern
center designed to serve the entire
Millbrae community.
“This is a long-term benefit which pro-
vides safety and security, and a remodeled
facility would meet earthquake and suit-
ability standards as well as offer program-
ming for seniors, youth and children of all
ages,” she said.
The measure would need a supermajority
voter approval to pass. If approved, the
$12 million generated would address a sig-
nificant portion of the $30 million esti-
mated for a new center. The rest of the
financing would stem from $6.2 million

“The top priority of Verity’s board and

More than 1,500 employees and 400 staff

Francisco and San Mateo counties at the

more than 350 licensed beds, the hospital is
more than twice as large as its 116-bed sis-

in insurance, $2.8 million in developer
contributions and about $8 million of
income from anticipated sales of surplus
city property, according to a city report.
Regarding the timing of the initiative,
Papan referred to a community survey
showing voters would likely support a tax
designed to restore a modern community
center with space for senior and youth pro-
grams and those with disabilities, among
other features.
“The community outreach has been such
that the input we’ve received from the
community suggests this is the right
time,” she said, noting the desire to break
ground on the new facility next year.
The new facility would fill the void by
the loss of the previous center, which was
destroyed when teen arsonists accidentally
started the four-alarm blaze.
Officials have been working to design a
replacement facility to be built over the
footprint of the previous center. Plans
include separate buildings housing inde-
pendent gym, community center and
kitchen facilities on a platform configura-
tion overlooking the adjacent park. In all,
the building is expected to span nearly
26,000 square feet.
Officials have pushed for rapid develop-
ter hospital, Seton Coastside, which is a
skilled nursing facility and offers the only
standby emergency department along the
55-mile coastal stretch between Daly City
and Santa Cruz, according to Verity Health’s
website.
Noting the county’s long-standing sup-
port of the two facilities, David Canepa,
who represents north county’s District 5 on
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, emphasized the role they have
played in making health care available to
low-income county residents for decades.
Verity Health confirmed some 27, 000
patients receive care annually through the
emergency department at Seton Medical
Center, which also offers cardiovascular
services, oncology and wound care, among
other services, and some 3,000 are seen at
the coastside facility’s standby emergency
room.
“Having Seton Medical Center in our
community as well as [Seton] Coastside is
important,” said Canepa. “It provides …
services that are desperately needed.”
The two facilities were among six in the
state that garnered attention from the state’s
ment, for fear of already-high construction
costs continuing to rise. The project budg-
et estimates $3 million for escalation
costs through the building timeline, with
an additional $1.8 million in contingen-
cies.
To help offset costs beyond the bond,
officials are eyeing selling Schultz Park.
The land between Taylor Middle School
and Hillcrest Boulevard was gifted to the
city prior to its incorporation, said Papan.
Should officials continue to pursue selling
the site, as well as two other smaller prop-
erties, she suggested voter approval may
be required as well.
With an understanding that so much of
the financing plan hinges on voter sup-
port, Papan said residents will be included
in the city’s planning through an inten-
sive outreach effort.
“The public will be participants in this
process as we try to remodel the recreation
center,” she said.
Yet despite the variety of challenges
ahead for officials as they seek to gather
the community support needed to pass the
tax measure, Papan said councilmembers
are enthusiastic over the prospect of mov-
ing the process ahead.
“It’s an exciting opportunity,” she said.
attorney general when its former operator
Daughters of Charity sought to sell the
group. In late 2015, then attorney general
Kamala Harris laid out terms of agreement
when BlueMountain Capital struck a deal
with the nonprofit operator. Aimed at ensur-
ing the safety-net hospitals continue offer-
ing services for at least 10 years, the trans-
action was considered by some to be the
largest and most complex nonprofit hospi-
tal transaction in California’s history.
Part of those obligations included a $65
million project to seismically upgrade the
Seton Medical Center by 2020, to which the
county dedicated $15 million in 2017,
according to a previous county staff report.
According to terms outlined by the state,
BlueMountain has the option to purchase
the hospitals between 2018 and 2030, then
potentially run them for a profit. Based on
the county’s contract, if the hospitals were
to lose their nonprofit status before 2030,
BlueMountain must repay the county. The
reimbursement amount decreases over the
years, so the longer the hospital is main-
tained as a nonprofit, the less
BlueMountain would have to repay should it

In other business at the meeting, coun-
cilmembers could approve regulations
aiming to address community concerns
regarding the short-term rental industry
hosted on platforms such as Airbnb.
In the wake of an unruly party hosted at
a property rented online, officials have
been attempting to rein in such behavior
while also respecting the wishes of those
who responsibly patronize the industry.
As a means of balancing the two inter-
ests, officials are interested in collecting
hotel tax from the rentals, requiring per-
mits to list rental properties and define
enhanced authorities for police officers
responding to complaint calls.
A staff report addresses the deft touch
officials are attempting to administer.
“Staff recognizes the distinct and unique
challenges that arise in developing appro-
priate policy for allowance and regulation
of [short-term rentals]. The draft [short-
term rental] ordinance takes these chal-
lenges into consideration and has been
crafted in order to best provide the mecha-
nisms and tools needed to address tran-
sient habitation activities that can nega-
tively affect the welfare of the communi-
ty,” said the report.

When Patrick Soon-Shiong, a surgeon,
professor, scientist, entrepreneur, business-
man and philanthropist who purchased the
Los Angeles Times this year, stepped in as a
majority stake owner in 2017,
BlueMountain Capital contributed addition-
al funding to continue Verity’s revitaliza-
tion initiatives.
County spokeswoman Michelle Durand
said in an email county officials are moni-
toring the status of the health care
provider’s situation as it weighs its
options. For his part, Canepa said he could
not see the county stepping forward to pur-
chase the hospitals at this time, but was
confident officials would be focused on
ensuring the terms and conditions set forth
years ago are followed by whomever owns
the hospitals.
“I will hold that owner to the conditions
because they made a commitment to our
community that they were going to provide
quality accessible care,” he said. “We just
have to be vigilant and make sure that they
hold up their end of the agreement whether
it’s this group or the next group.”

cials said.
An anonymous tip from a rider on a
Bay Area Rapid Transit train led to the
arrest of John Cowell, 27, BART
Police Chief Carlos Rojas said at a
news conference.
Cowell — a paroled felon — was
arrested at another BART station in the
San Francisco Bay Area. He had no
weapon and was arrested peacefully,
Rojas said.
“This is the first step to achieving
justice for Nia and her family,” Rojas
said.
A manhunt had been underway for
Cowell since the Sunday night attack
that killed 18-year-old Nia Wilson and
wounded her sister on the platform at
the MacArthur BART station.
Asked how a wanted man could have
gotten back into the BART system,
Rojas said he didn’t immediately know
but said the public transportation sys-
tem is “porous” and large, serving four
counties.
Surveillance video on the train and at
the station’s platform showed Cowell
had been riding the same car as the sis-
ters Sunday, but they did not interact,
Rojas said.
As the group got on the platform,
Cowell attacked, the police chief said.
“It looks like it was an unprovoked,
unwarranted, vicious attack,” Rojas
said.
Rojas didn’t provide any motive for
what he called a “prison-style attack”
in which Nia was stabbed twice in the
neck.
Rojas said Cowell hasn’t been con-
nected with any white supremacist
groups but added that “we are going to
explore all options and all possibili-
ties.”
Nia and her sister, Lahtifa Wilson,
26, are black and Cowell is white.
Cowell was released from state
prison on May 6 after completing a
sentence for second-degree robbery,
said Vicky Waters, spokeswoman for
the California Department

Wildfires near Athens kill 20, gut vacation resorts By Derek Gatopolous
and Elena Becatoros
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Gale-fanned wildfires
raged through holiday resorts near Greece’s
capital, killing at least 20 people by early
Tuesday and injuring more than 104, includ-
ing 11 in serious condition, in the deadliest
blaze to hit the country in more than a
decade.
Greece sought international help through
the European Union as the fires on either
side of Athens left lines of cars torched,
charred farms and forests, and sent hundreds
of people racing to beaches to be evacuated
by navy vessels, yachts and fishing boats.
Winds reached 80 kph (50 mph) as author-
ities deployed the country’s entire fleet of
water-dropping planes and helicopters to
give vacationers time to escape. Military
drones remained in the air in the high winds

“We were unlucky. The wind changed and
it came at us with such force that it razed the
coastal area in minutes,” said Evangelos
Bournous, mayor of the port town of
Rafina, a sleepy mainland port that serves
Greek holiday islands.
The dock area became a makeshift hospi-
tal as paramedics checked survivors when
they came off coast guard vessels and pri-
vate boats. The operation continued
through the night.
The fire posed no immediate threat to
Greece’s famed ancient monuments, but as it
raged inland children’s’ summer camps and
holiday homes were hastily abandoned.
Fleeing drivers clogged highways into
Athens, hampering the firefighting effort.
It was the deadliest fire season to hit
Greece in more than a decade. More than 60
people were killed in 2007 when huge fires
swept across the southern Peloponnese
region.
“It’s a difficult night for Greece,” Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras said after flying
back to Athens from a trip to Bosnia that
was cut short.
