New building in works for Aaron Brothers site
Developer aims to boost office, retail with mixed-use project in downtown San Mateo

Rehab for Main Street Bridge starts
Design work underway, construction not expected to begin until 2021
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Design work is underway for the
rehabilitation of Half Moon Bay’s
over-100-year-old Main Street Bridge,
but the project is still years away from
construction.
The goal is to seismically retrofit
the structure without compromising its
historic integrity.
“It will basically look the same, but
function better,” said Public Works
Director John Doughty.
Caltrans has awarded the city $2.2
million to move forward with the first
ing would provide more than 3,500
square feet of ground-floor retail and
office space in the basement, second
and third floors at the intersection of
East Third and South Ellsworth
avenues.
Marcus Gilmour, principal with Lane
Partners, said the city’s central loca-
tion between San Francisco and
Silicon Valley and connections with
public transportation sparked the
developer’s interest in the site. By
constructing a project with more than
phase of the project, which also
includes preliminary engineering work
and environmental review, Doughty
said.
That initial phase should take about
two years, Doughty said, with the final
design ready to go out to bid by
October 2021. He hopes construction
will be underway in 2022 and that
phase of work will last about 12 to 15
months.
But these are just estimates,
Doughty stressed. Numerous federal
and local agencies will be involved in
the project, permits will have to be
obtained from many of them and

space among the growing companies

move to other Peninsula cities or out-

“We’ve just seen and have heard of
several tenants in the San Mateo mar-

timeline of the project.
Doughty added that a temporary dam
may have to be constructed upstream
from the bridge during construction
and the National Marine Fishery may
impose additional protections for

Creek, to name a couple of other
potential hurdles.

Hospital merger triggers concerns
Hearing addressing potential impacts of union
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A proposed merger between Dignity
Health and Catholic Health Initiatives has
raised concerns about job security for nurses
and access to health care for women, low-
income and transgender residents through-
out the system but also Redwood City’s
Sequoia Hospital.
The nonprofit hospital systems
announced the merger in December and the
proposal is currently under review by the
California Attorney General’s Office, which
has organized 17 hearings throughout the
state for feedback on potential impacts.
One of those hearings occurred on Friday,
Sept. 14 in Redwood City, which is also
home to Sequoia Hospital, the only San
Mateo County hospital affected by the
merger.
Dignity Health representatives insisted
that all services currently offered at Sequoia
Hospital will remain intact after the merger
and they attempted to reassure nurses as
well.
“Do not expect any jobs to be reduced at
Sequoia as a result of our alignment,” said
Sequoia Hospital President Bill Graham,
adding that collective bargaining agree-
ments will remain in place and there will be
no consolidation.
But Sequoia Hospital nurses and represen-
tatives from the American Civil Liberties
Union remain skeptical. They specifically
called for a 15-year commitment by the new
ownership group to maintain services and
keep hospitals open; the current merger
agreement entails a five-year commitment.
“There’s been a five year commitment to
no reduction in force, but that’s just five

years,” former nurse Heidi Voellger said,
adding that there were “massive layoffs” at
Catholic Health Initiatives a couple of years
ago. “There is no assurance that pensions
for the nursing staff will remain and there’s
no agreement that the bargaining agreement
will continue with the union after the five-
year time period ... so you’ll have a lot of
very loyal nurses who’ve been working at
Dignity Health for 20 to 30 years and
they’ll lose everything.”
Some nurses pointed to past mergers to
illustrate their concerns.
“I’ve been through a merger with Sutter at
San Leandro hospital and watched them pull
all the equipment out and they basically
closed the hospital — the county had to take
over, and it’s my concern that with the
merger this way, unless there’s an extended
commitment of at least 15 years, the same
thing can happen in our community,” said
Carole Schrader, a nurse at Sequoia Hospital.
Much of the concern with the merger also
has to do with Catholic ownership and a fear
that women’s health services will be com-
promised and that patients will be denied
physician-assisted suicide or gender affirm-
ing surgery, for example.
“We’re concerned that this proposed
merger could exacerbate the denials of care
that we are already witnessing, ” said
Phyllida Burlingame, reproductive justice
and gender equity director at the ACLU of
Northern California. She said her organiza-
tion is currently in litigation on two cases
with Dignity Health because of denials of
care. “This promise that they’re going to
maintain levels of care for five years is one
we can’t count on. These hospitals receive

Flooding fears surge as rivers rise; Wilmington cut off
By Chuck Burton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Catastrophic flooding from

Florence spread across the Carolinas on Sunday, with
roads to Wilmington cut off by the epic deluge and muddy
river water swamping entire neighborhoods miles inland.
“The risk to life is rising with the angry waters,” Gov.
Roy Cooper declared as the storm’s death toll climbed to
17.
The storm continued to crawl westward, dumping more
than 30 inches of rain in spots since Friday, and fears of
historic flooding grew. Tens of thousands were ordered
evacuated from communities along the state’s steadily ris-
ing rivers — with the Cape Fear, Little River, Lumber,
Waccamaw and Pee Dee rivers all projected to burst their
banks.
In Wilmington , with roads leading in and out of the city
underwater and streams still swelling upward, residents
waited for hours outside stores and restaurants for basic
necessities like water. Police guarded the door of one
store, and only 10 people were allowed inside at a time.
Woody White, chairman of the board of commissioners
of New Hanover County, said officials were planning for
food and water to be flown into the coastal city of nearly

Woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct comes forward
By Darlene Superville
and Lisa Mascaro
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s nomination
of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court was thrust into tur-
moil Sunday after the woman accusing him of high school-
era sexual misconduct told her story publicly for the first
time. Democrats immediately called for a delay in a key com-
mittee vote set for this later week and at least one
Republican panel member said he’s willing to hear from the
woman, but that the confirmation process must not be
derailed.
The woman, Christine Blasey Ford, told The Washington
Post in her first interview that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed
at a Maryland party they attended in the early 1980s, clum-
sily tried to remove her clothing and put his hand over her
mouth when she tried to scream.
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” Ford said. “He
was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”
Ford, 51 and a clinical psychology professor at Palo Alto
University in California, says she was able to get away after
a friend of Kavanaugh’s who was in the room jumped on top
of them and everyone tumbled.
Kavanaugh, 53 and a federal appeals judge in Washington,
on Sunday repeated an earlier denial of Ford’s allegation.
Grim warnings for White House, Republicans ahead of election
By Julie Pace,
Catherine Lucey and Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The prognosis for President Donald
Trump and his party was grim.
In a post-Labor Day briefing at the White House, a top
Republican pollster told senior staff that the determining
factor in the election wouldn’t be the improving economy or
the steady increase in job creation. It would be how voters
feel about Trump. And the majority of the electorate, includ-
ing a sizable percentage of Republican-leaning voters, does-
n’t feel good about the president, according to a presentation
from pollster Neil Newhouse that spanned dozens of pages.
Newhouse’s briefing came amid a darkening mood among
Republican officials as the November election nears. Party
leaders were already worried that a surge in enthusiasm
among Democrats and disdain for Trump by moderate
Republicans would put the House out of reach. But some
Republicans now fear their Senate majority is also in peril
— a scenario that was unthinkable a few months ago given
the favorable Senate map for the GOP.
“For Republican candidates to win in swing states, they
need all of the voters who support President Trump, plus a
chunk of those who do not,” said Whit Ayres, a GOP pollster.
“That is threading a very narrow strategic needle.”
Operatives in both parties say Republicans still have the

“I categorically and unequivocally deny
this allegation. I did not do this back in
high school or at any time,” Kavanaugh
said through the White House.
The allegation first came to light late
last week in the form of an anonymous
letter that has been in the possession of
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the
top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary
Brett Committee, for some time.
The committee recently concluded four
Kavanaugh
days of public hearings on the nomina-
tion and the panel’s Republican chairman, Chuck Grassley
of Iowa, scheduled a Thursday vote on whether to recommend
that the full Senate confirm Kavanaugh for a lifetime
appointment to the nation’s highest court.
Democrats, led by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, immedi-
ately called for the vote to be postponed, though
Republicans gave no indication Sunday that they would
accede to the calls by Democrats, most of whom already pub-
licly oppose Kavanaugh.
A spokesman for the Senate Judiciary Committee said late
Sunday that Grassley is trying to arrange separate, follow-up
calls with Kavanaugh and Ford, but just for aides to Grassley
and Feinstein before Thursday’s scheduled vote.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a committee member, said
edge in the fight for control of the Senate. But GOP officials
are increasingly worried that nominees in conservative-
leaning states like Missouri and Indiana are underperform-
ing, while races in Tennessee and Texas that should be slam-
dunks for Republicans are close.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell raised an alarm
last week, warning that each of the competitive Senate races
would be “like a knife fight in an alley.”
Some of the public fretting among Republicans appears to
be strategic, as party officials try to motivate both voters

he’s willing to hear from Ford provided that it’s “done imme-
diately” so the confirmation process can continue as sched-
uled. Graham said he’d compare her story against all the
other information the committee has so far considered about
Kavanaaugh.
Critics have accused Republicans of fast-tracking the
process to get Kavanaugh seated on the court ahead of the
first day of the fall term, Oct. 1.
Senate Republicans, along with the White House, see no
need to postpone voting over what they consider uncorrob-
orated and unverifiable accusations, according to a person
familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak pub-
licly.
In considering their options Sunday, Republicans largely
settled on the view that Ford’s story alone was not enough to
delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
Grassley could invite Ford to testify, likely in closed ses-
sion before Thursday. Kavanaugh would also probably be
asked to appear before senators. The panel would also likely
seek testimony from Mark Judge, Kavanaugh’s friend and
classmate. Ford identified Judge as the friend who jumped on
top of her and Kavanaugh. Judge has denied that the incident
happened.
Republicans have not settled on the strategy, the person
familiar with the situation said, but were weighing options,
including doing nothing.
and donors. Many moderate Republican voters “don’t
believe there is anything at stake in this election,” accord-
ing to the documents Newhouse presented to White House
officials. He attributed that belief in part to a disregard for
public polling, given that most surveys showed Democrat
Hillary Clinton defeating Trump in the 2016 presidential
election.
Newhouse and the White House would not comment on the
early September meeting. The Associated Press obtained a
copy of Newhouse’s presentation, and two Republicans with
knowledge of the briefing discussed the details on the condi-
tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak
about the matter publicly.
At the White House, anxiety over the midterms has been
on the rise for months as polls increasingly show a chal-
lenging environment for the GOP and heightened
Democratic enthusiasm. The sheer number of competitive
races in both the House and Senate is stretching cash
reserves and forcing tough calculations about where to
deploy resources and surrogates. And there are growing fears
that the coalition of voters that delivered Trump to the White
House will not come out for midterms.
Even if those voters do show up in large numbers,
Republicans could still come up short. The polling present-
ed to White House officials, which was commissioned by the
Republican National Committee, showed that Trump’s loyal
supporters make up about one-quarter of the electorate.

Manafort plea deal raises key question: What does he know?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As Trump associates

the pressure of federal investigators, there

Donald Trump’s former campaign chair-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Trump administra-

“the numbers are all over the place” from

Typhoon pounds south China after killing 64 in Philippines

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONG KONG — Typhoon Mangkhut bar-
reled into southern China on Sunday,
killing two people after lashing the
Philippines with strong winds and heavy
rain that left at least 64 dead and dozens
more feared buried in a landslide.
More than 2.4 million people had been
evacuated in southern China’s Guangdong
province by Sunday evening to flee the mas-
sive typhoon and nearly 50,000 fishing
boats were called back to port, state media
reported. It threatened to be the strongest
typhoon to hit Hong Kong in nearly two
decades.
“Prepare for the worst, ” Hong Kong
Security Minister John Lee Ka-chiu urged
residents.
That warning came after Mangkhut’s dev-
astating march through the northern
Philippines, where the storm made landfall
Saturday on Luzon island with sustained
winds of 205 kilometers (127 miles) per
hour and gusts of 255 kph (158 mph).

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — As alleged Russian plots,
conspiracies and crimes unfold against the
West, prosecutors and pundits routinely
blame Vladimir Putin or a circle of Kremlin
insiders said to be acting on direct orders
from the president.
Putin may indeed have involvement in
some shadowy schemes, but is he micro-
managing every suspected poisoning, com-
puter hack and influence campaign?
Experts say not necessarily. Instead, they
say Putin and his entourage may be sending
out signals about what he wants, and ambi-
tious officials and individuals scramble to
interpret and fulfill them to win his favor.
The motley mix of Russians accused of
meddling in U.S. politics seems to illustrate
this. Gun activist Maria Butina, who is jailed
in Washington on charges that she tried to
infiltrate U.S. political organizations as a
covert Russian agent, is among those on the
margins of power who seemed to seize an
opportunity to advance their own interests
and potentially please their rulers by manip-
ulating gullible Americans.
of Butina’s activities. But the initiative —
like Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya’s
efforts to meet with Donald Trump’s cam-
paign team, or online trolling credited to
“Putin’s chef” Yevgeny Prigozhin — dove-
tailed with the Kremlin’s dual goals of desta-
bilizing Western democracy and ending sanc-
tions against Russia.
Only Putin can say for sure what strings he
pulls. But some projects — such as the attack
in Britain with a military-grade nerve agent
in March — appear more likely to have his
blessing. British authorities say the poison-
ing of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal was
sus on Russia.

afternoon, dozens of people, mostly miners
and their families, rushed into an old three-
story building in the village of Ucab.
The building — a former mining
bunkhouse that had been transformed into a
chapel — was obliterated when part of a
mountain slope collapsed. Three villagers
who managed to escape told authorities
what happened.
“They thought they were really safe
there,” the mayor said. He expressed sad-
ness that the villagers, many of them poor,
had few options to survive in a region where
big corporations have profited immensely
from gold mines.
Rescuers were scrambling to pull out the
body of a victim from the mound of mud and
rocks in Ucab before Tacio, the police offi-
cial, left the area Sunday.
“I could hear villagers wailing in their
homes near the site of the accident,” Tacio
said.
The tragedy came as Florence, another
major storm, unleashed catastrophic flood-
ing across the Carolinas in the United
States, where more than 30 inches of rain
since Friday threatened a deluge of historic
proportions as the storm slowly crawled
inland from the coast.

“Russia is not as centralized as people
sometimes think,” said Alexander Baunov of
the Carnegie Moscow Center. Incidents of
election meddling abroad weren’t part of “a
single planned event, but separate people
and actions” operating loosely under the
same anti-Western banner.
Such efforts don’t always coalesce.
Observers describe rivalries among Kremlin
insiders as they jostle for favors or influence.
Prigozhin’s supposed financing of mercenar-
ies in Syria, for example, is reportedly at
odds with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu
but helps Russia maintain a foothold in the
Middle East.
“Putin’s state is like a court,” said Mark
Galeotti, a Russia security expert at the
Institute of International Relations in
Prague. “You have the people above making
it clear what it is they are looking for, and
then you have people below either looking
to find ways they can leverage their existing
opportunities and contact base to potentially
provide value, or look to package what
they’ve already got and sell it to advance
their agenda.”
The gun activist
Butina, ordered Monday to remain in a U.S.
jail while she awaits trial, seems to be a
fringe figure, whose gun activism started in
Siberia, far from Russia’s decision-making
core in Moscow.
As Trump pursued the presidency, she and
influential patron Alexander Torshin alleged-
ly used their connections with the National
Rifle Association to cultivate a back channel
to Republican politics. They tapped a vulner-
ability on the American right: the growing

Opening safe injection facilities
Los Angeles Times
About 72,000 Americans died from
drug overdoses in 2017. That’s nearly
200 people per day — more than the
number of people killed in car acci-
dents. Fatal overdoses have been on the
rise in recent years, due in large part to
the proliferation of tremendously dan-
gerous synthetic opioids such as fen-
tanyl, and it’s a safe bet that the daily
death rate will be higher again by the
end of this year.
This escalating crisis has forced state
and local governments to think about
new approaches to the problem, includ-
ing harm-reduction strategies that will
help keep people alive and expand
treatment options. That has included
equipping police officers and emer-
gency medical staff with naloxone, a
medication that can reverse opioid
overdoses. And thank heaven for that,
or the overdose rate would have likely
been higher.
Another promising way to reduce
fatal drug overdoses is by opening so-
called safe injection facilities, where
addicts can self-administer illicitly
obtained drugs, including heroin and
fentanyl, under medical supervision.
Dozens of safe injection sites, also
known as drug consumption sites, have
been operating successfully for years in
Europe and Canada, and authorities in a
handful of U.S. cities — San Francisco,
Seattle and New York, among them —
are either considering or planning to
open facilities.
Last month, the Legislature gave its
blessing to a proposal under which San

Francisco would be allowed to open one
safe injection facility on a three-year
trial basis. It was a scaled-back version
of a controversial bill that gave the
same permission to seven other coun-
ties, including Los Angeles. That bill
stalled a year earlier after a contentious
legislative battle.
The narrower bill is now on the desk
of Gov. Jerry Brown. He should sign it,
despite the threat leveled by Deputy
U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
in an op-ed in the New York Times in
August, the day after the Legislature
approved the bill.
“Because federal law clearly prohibits
injection sites, cities and counties
should expect the Department of Justice
to meet the opening of any injection
site with swift and aggressive action,”
Rosenstein wrote.
What a waste of taxpayer money that
would be. Sure, it’s a bit strange for
government to be in the business of
helping people consume drugs. Some
people think that it’s immoral to “nor-
malize” drug use that way; others fear
that government-sanctioned drug use
will merely encourage the problem.
But surely, given the breadth of the
problem, it’s worth a try to see if it
reduces deaths.
Despite Rosenstein’s assertions to
the contrary (which he bases on one
person’s observations and the treat-
ment rate at a year-old safe injection
site), there are data showing that the
facilities reduce overdoses and direct
great discovery was not how easy it
was to decieve the public, but rather
how much the public enjoyed being
deceived as long as it was being
entertained.
Donald Trump is the P.T. Barnum of
our times , a carnival barker looking
to sell “snake oil” tho those who are
willing to buy into his sales pitch.
By the way, Virgil and Christopher,
I have a bridge to sell. Any takers?
If both of you are willing to believe
a “flim-flam” man like Donald Trump,
you are both just as gullible to fall for
my phony sales pitch.

addicts into treatment. These aren’t
dirty drug dens but sterile health facili-
ties staffed with medical professionals
who can recognize and reverse deadly
overdoses, provide clean needles to
reduce infection and help addicts con-
nect with treatment providers. One
study of Canada’s first safe injection
facility, which has been open since
2003 in Vancouver, found that drug
overdoses decreased by 35% in the sur-
rounding community, prompting the
Canadian government to develop more
such facilities across the country.
Why wouldn’t we at least try out a
program with such promise?
Of course, the ideal way to lower fatal
drug overdoses is for people to stop
using dangerous drugs. But helping
people kick opioid addictions requires
public investment in treatment
options, and often time for treatment to
work. Meanwhile, we should be doing
everything possible to help addicts
stay alive. That’s where harm-reduction
strategies such as naloxone, needle
exchanges and safe injection facilities
can help.
We hope that Rosenstein’s threat was
an empty one, not an indication that
the Department of Justice is planning
to waste its crime-fighting resources
prosecuting social workers and nurses
trying to help addicts. Instead, the fed-
eral government should be supporting
desperate cities and counties as they
work to develop strategies to cope with
the effects of the overdose crisis.

Elections 2018, 2020 and 2022
W
hile we are all focused, as we should, on the mid-
term congressional elections, there are important
local, county and state races coming up in
November, and the next two and four years.
The most interesting City Council race where there are
three openings, with only one incumbent, veteran Diane
Howard, seeking re-election, is Redwood City. Candidates
are: 1). Giselle Hale, planning commissioner with a big
political bio. She was field director for the 2008 Obama cam-
paign and also a former campaign manager for U.S Rep.
Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto; 2). Rick Hunter, former planning
commissioner with a long history in Redwood City; 3).
Christine Umhofer, small business
owner; 4). Diana Reddy, communi-
ty activist and rent control advo-
cate; 5). vice chair of the Planning
Commission Ernie Schmidt and
Jason Galisatus, Stanford
University community relations
professional. Not running again
are incumbents John Seybert and
Jeff Gee. It was a surprise when
Gee decided to opt out. He was
considered a rising star among
county elected officials, was head
of the SamTrans board, and well
respected by his peers. A big loss for Redwood City.
***
San Carlos also has three openings because of the retire-
ment of three incumbents. Bob Grassilli and Matt Grocott
had announced earlier they would not run but the big and sad
surprise was that Cameron Johnson is not seeking re-elec-
tion. Johnson was also considered a rising star and a poten-
tial for higher office. Adam Rak, former member of the San
Carlos school board and currently vice president of a small
consulting firm and vice president of the city’s Chamber of
Commerce, was the first to announce. Laura Parmer-Lohan,
who runs a business which help companies launch various
medical products, was the second. Now there are three other
candidates, two of whom have the same last name but are
not related. Sara McDowell is a well-known community vol-
unteer while John McDowell is a small businessman. Sara’s
lawn signs just say SARA so there is no confusion (The last
time two people with the same last name ran was in San
Mateo when Claire Mack defeated Tom Mack). The fifth con-
tender is Ken Castle, a business development consultant.
In Foster City, with eight-year term limits, councilmem-
bers Charlie Bronitsky and Gary Pollard are not on the bal-
lot. Six people are vying for those seats. In South San
Francisco, Mark Nagales looks like a winner for an open
seat. In Half Moon Bay, three challengers are on the ballot.
Two incumbents are running for re-election and there is one
vacant seat. In the other cities which have elections this
November, there are challenges to incumbents but all look
safe unless they get lazy and take things for granted.
***
One of the contests which shouldn’t be happening is for a
seat on the San Mateo County Community College District
Board for District 4. The fallout from moving to district
rather than countywide elections means that two incum-
bents, veteran educator Tom Mohr and longtime trustee
Richard Holober (who formerly represented District 3) will
be facing each other for the same seat. I always opposed dis-
trict elections and then changed my mind because of the
expense of running countywide. Now even some cities are
venturing down this dangerous path. I should have stuck
with my original instincts. That being said, Mohr, a long-
time San Mateo resident, is well known in the district where
he was a popular and well-respected high school superin-
tendent. Holober, formerly of Millbrae who recently moved
to San Mateo, is a longtime labor leader and consumer advo-
cate, and has the endorsement of the Democratic Party and
local labor leaders.
***
In the beginning, it was curious that officials weren’t lin-
ing up for state Sen. Jerry Hill’s seat to be open in 2020.
Shelly Masur, Redwood City councilwoman and former
school board member, was first out of the box. And has that
advantage. Now two others have joined the race, Burlingame
Mayor Michael Brownrigg and Josh Becker, of Menlo Park
who has run for state Assembly in the past. Becker is well
connected in south county and the parts of Santa Clara
County which are in Hill’s district and also in Sacramento.
Meanwhile Brownrigg has his former council colleague,
Terry Nagel, on his side. Nagel was active in getting Nancy
Magee (county superintendent) and Sandie Arnott (county
treasurer) elected.
Finally, county supervisor Dave Pine decided not to run for
Hill’s seat but instead will go for Kevin Mullin’s Assembly
seat when Mullin is termed out. Carole Groom will be termed
out of the Board of Supervisors in 2022. Charles Stone,
Belmont councilman, has declared for her seat. It will be a
challenge for a non San Mateo official to pull this off, but
Stone, chair of the SamTrans Board, is full of energy, enthu-
siasm, experience and contacts, so he has a real chance.
Especially if he starts walking San Mateo precincts now.

Shortage of truckers has
industry considering teens
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A nationwide shortage of truckers
has some industry officials and national lawmakers sup-
porting a plan to allow 18-year-olds to become long-haul
drivers, while others in the industry say it’s a bad idea that
will decrease safety on the nation’s road.
Apex CDL Institute in Kansas City, Kansas, trains truck-
ers and would likely have more students if federal proposals
to allow those under 21 to drive big rigs across the country.
But institute director Jeffrey Steinberg thinks most 18-
year-olds would make bad long-haulers.
“Sure, I’d make money” if the law was changed, Steinberg
said. “But is it going to create more problems than it would
solve? In my opinion, yes. I don’t think it’s safe.”
Bills before the U.S. House and the Senate — co-spon-
sored by U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas — both propose
that people under 21 who have commercial drivers’ licenses
be allowed to take their cargo across state lines. Federal law
now requires truckers to wait until age 21 to get a CDL per-
mitting them to drive big rigs across the country, The
Kansas City Star reported .
Steinberg is not alone in his objection to dropping that
minimum age to 18. The 160,000-member Owner Operator
Independent Drivers Association, headquartered in Grain
Valley. Missouri, has joined more than a dozen traffic safe-
ty groups in writing protest letters to a congressional com-
mittee that will hear the idea. The federal proposals set
training requirements for young CDL holders.
“Younger drivers both lack overall experience and are less
safe behind the wheel than their older counterparts,” their
April 17 letter said. “In fact, CMV (commercial motor vehi-
cle) drivers under the age of 19 are four times more likely to
be involved in fatal crashes.”
Republican-led proposals before the U.S. Committee On
Transportation and Infrastructure would affect Kansas City,
a central trucking hub, and other communities long state
borders. Both Kansas and Missouri allow 18-year-olds to
obtain CDLs, but only for travel within one state.
Some industry analysts with deliveries surging because of
Amazon, eBay and Fed Ex, it’s long past time to relax inter-
state restrictions.
“What isn’t interstate commerce these days?” asked

Brown announces
sister relationship
with German state
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry Brown has
announced a sister-state relationship with a German state
that furthers strengthens climate and
economic ties between the two entities.
Brown signed the agreement on
Saturday with the minister-president of
Baden-Württemberg, a state in south-
western Germany that is the country’s
third-largest.
The minister-president of the German
state is Winfried Kretschmann.
In 2015, California and Baden-
Jerry Brown Württemberg launched the Under2
Coalition, an international climate part-
nership committed to battling global warming.
The announcement comes on the heels of a global climate
summit organized by Brown in San Francisco.
The conference, which attracted thousands of politicians,
activists, business leaders and others from around the
world, served as a rebuke of President Donald Trump.
Trump announced last year that he was withdrawing from
a historic 2015 climate accord reached in Paris.

WASHINGTON — Time Magazine is

Sunday.
Meredith announced that it was sell-

Apple, Firefox tools aim to thwart tracking
By Anick Jesdanun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facebook and other
companies routinely track your online
surfing habits to better target ads at
you. Two web browsers now want to
help you fight back in what’s becom-
ing an escalating privacy arms race.
New protections in Apple’s Safari
and Mozilla’s Firefox browsers aim to
prevent companies from turning
“cookie” data files used to store sign-
in details and preferences into broader
trackers that take note of what you
read, watch and research on other sites.
Lance Cottrell, creator of the priva-
cy service Anonymizer, said Apple’s
effort was particularly significant, as
it takes aim at a technique developed
by tracking companies to override
users’ attempts to delete their cookies.
Safari makes these protections auto-
matic in updates coming Tuesday to
iPhones and iPads and a week later to
Mac computers. Firefox has similar
protections on Apple mobile devices
and is rolling out them out to person-
al computers in the coming months.
To get the protections, you’ll have
to break your habit of using Google’s

Meredith said that the Benioffs would
not be involved in the day-to-day
operations or journalistic decisions at
Time. Those decisions will continue
to be made by Time’s current executive
leadership team, the announcement
said.
“We’re pleased to have found such
passionate buyers in Marc and Lynne
Benioff for the Time brand,” Meredith

statement. “For over 90 years, Time

Even then, Safari and Firefox can’t
entirely stop tracking. For starters,
they won’t block tracking when
you’re using Facebook or Google
itself. Nor can they help much when
you use phone or tablet apps, unless
the app happens to embed Safari, as
Twitter’s iPhone app does.
But Will Strafach, a mobile security
expert who is designing data security
tools for phones, said imperfect pro-
tection is better than no protection.
He notes that burglars can still break

you shouldn’t bother locking it.

Meredith, the publisher of such
magazines as People and Better
Homes & Gardens, had put four Time
Inc. publications up for sale in March.
Negotiations for the sale of the three
other publications — Fortune, Money
and Sports Illustrated — are continu-
ing.
The prospective sale is expected to
close within 30 days. In an interview
with The Wall Street Journal, Benioff
said he and his wife were investing “in
a company with tremendous impact on
the world, one that is also an incredi-
bly strong business. That’s what
we’re looking for when we invest as a
family.”

News, video and other third-party
sites use Google and Facebook cook-
ies to customize ads to your hobbies
and interests, rather than hawking
products you might never buy. That’s
why you might see an ad for shoes
soon after searching for them else-
where.
Apple says its tests show that some
popular websites are embedded with
more than 70 such trackers. Many of
these are from Facebook and Google,
which are expected to command a com-
bined 57 percent of the $107 billion
U.S. digital advertising market this
year, according to the research group
eMarketer.
Though general awareness of data
collection has grown in the wake of
Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica pri-
vacy scandal , how trackers work
behind the scenes remains a mystery
to many people.
Ghostery and other products have
long offered tracking protection. The
browsers are now trying to incorpo-
rate that directly so you don’t have to
go looking for browser add-ons.
Safari will try to automatically dis-
tinguish cookies that are useful from
ones that are there just to track you.

SANTA CLARA — Another mis-

another game-altering intercep-
tion for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Only this time, the San Francisco
49ers got bailed out by a flag and
held on to beat the Detroit Lions.
Garoppolo threw two touchdown
passes and caught a break when a
defensive holding call negated a
late interception as the 49ers held

Sunday.
“Very happy,” Garoppolo said of

Canelo’s close win could mean rematch with GGG

By Tim Dahlberg

LAS VEGAS — The fight was so close at the final bell that
no one in the arena — including Gennady Golovkin and
Canelo Alvarez — knew who would leave the ring with the
middleweight title belts.
It was Alvarez, though by the slimmest of margins. He
won the last round on two scorecards Saturday night on the
Las Vegas Strip to hand Golovkin the first loss of his career
in a fight that more than lived up to its advance billing.
To settle who is really the best, though, they may just
have to do it a third time. And that’s fine with both fighters,
who have now gone 24 rounds together with little but a few
points on the scorecards to separate them.
“If the people want us to do it again, let’s do it again,”
Alvarez said.
“It would be great to have a third fight,” Golovkin said.
A third fight will almost certainly happen, and for that
fight fans have to be grateful. Alvarez and Golovkin show-
cased their skills — and their sport — at the highest level
in a fight that one judge scored a draw and two others had

Broncos rally past Raiders on McManus’ winning FG
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Raiders quarterback
Derek Carr had the hot hand on a
sweltering afternoon, throwing
strike after strike in a nearly flaw-
less display.
The one thing he couldn’t deliver:
the first win in coach Jon Gruden’s
return to the sideline.
Despite Carr’s record-setting day,
the Raiders fell 20-19 to the Denver
Broncos on Sunday when Brandon
McManus hit a 36-yard field goal
with 6 seconds remaining.
It was the only lead of the game
for the Broncos (2-0).
Carr finished 29 of 32 for 288
yards and a touchdown for the
Raiders (0-2). His 90.6 completion
percentage is the best mark in fran-
chise history — with a minimum of
20 attempts — topping the record
of 89.5 set by Rich Gannon on
Nov. 11, 2002, in Denver.
“(Carr) did what we asked him to
do, protect the ball, move the foot-
ball,” Gruden said. “He’s a great
player. He’s going to be an out-
standing player. I look forward to
the days ahead. Hopefully, there’s
several.”

“Obviously, you want to end
with the ball in your hands. You
want to end taking a knee,” Carr
said. “You wanted to waste their
timeouts and, ‘Hey, let’s get that
first down. ’ I still thought we
moved the ball decently and took
some time off the clock to help the
defense and then the last play they
just brought a pressure and we had
to throw it hot to Martavais (short
of the first down). We were one
missed tackle away from the game
really being over. That’s how
close this game is.”
The performance of Carr certainly
didn’t surprise Broncos pass rusher
Von Miller.
“We already know how fast he
throws the ball,” said Miller, who
had the only sack of Carr. “You can
never lose faith.”
Gould sets franchise record
The 49ers had three drives stall
after getting inside the red zone in
part because Detroit sacked
Garoppolo three times on plays
that started inside the 20. That led
to three field goals for Robbie
Gould, giving him 29 straight
makes, two more than Phil
Dawson’s franchise record set in
2013.
Good returns
Rookie D.J. Reed started the sec-
ond half with a long kickoff return
that initially appeared to go for a
touchdown. But he was called for a
facemask penalty while giving a
stiff arm and was only credited with
a 90-yard return, the longest for the
Niners since Kyle Williams had a
94-yarder in 2012. San Francisco
still managed to get a TD with a 26-
yard drive capped by Garoppolo’s
pass to Celek.

Senzatela, Rockies top Giants to hold playoff position
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Leave it to Antonio
Senzatela to end Colorado’s longest scoring
drought this season with his first hit in
nearly five months.
The right-hander pitched a pretty good
game, too.
Senzatela pitched shutout ball into the
sixth inning and also hit a two-run single as
the Rockies topped the Giants 3-2 on
Sunday and moved back into first place in
the NL West.
Colorado jumped a half-game in front of
the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost 5-0 at
St. Louis on Sunday night.
“I knew they were big moments but I just
really tried to stay in the moment and exe-
cute my pitches and then roll with it,”
Senzatela said. “That at-bat I just tried to put
the ball in play and I did. I got a good result
and I helped the team to win.”
The Rockies, blanked the previous two
days, avoided a three-game sweep.
Colorado also improved to 41-34 on the
road this season, tying the franchise record
for wins away from Coors Field set in 2009
and matched in 2017.
A’s fall short despite Davis’ grand slam
By Mark Didtler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The A’s missed
out this weekend on gaining ground to host
the AL wild-card game.
Khris Davis hit a grand slam in the ninth
inning but the Athletics again came up short,
beaten by the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Sunday.
“It was good to see on a day that looks
like we’re dragging a little bit or a little bit
flat to be able to put up a four-spot like
that,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.
The A’s remained 1 1/2 games behind the
New York Yankees for the top AL wild-card
spot. Oakland lost for the second straight
day at Tropicana Field — the Yankees fell to
Toronto both days.
Oakland dropped 4 1/2 games behind AL
West-leading Houston, which beat Arizona.
Tampa Bay trails Oakland by seven games
with 14 games left.
C.J. Cron and Willy Adames homered off
A’s starter Mike Fiers. Eight Tampa Bay
pitchers combined on a four-hitter.
“Oakland came in here as hot as any team
and we pitched like we needed to,” Rays
manager Kevin Cash said.

“He’s still growing as a pitcher, ”
Colorado manager Bud Black said. “He’s
still learning a lot. What we like about him
is just the competitive streak he has and the
toughness.”
Four relievers finished, with Wade Davis
retiring three batters for his NL-leading
40th save.

one-out error by first baseman Austin Slater.

homer before getting the final two outs for
his 21st save.
Davis’ second career slam gave him 115
RBIs, second in the majors to the 122 for
Boston’s J.D. Martinez.
Fiers (12-7) dropped to 5-1 over eight
starts since being acquired from Detroit on
Aug. 6. He gave up three runs and four hits
in four innings. The righty worked out of a
bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second.
“Put the guys behind early,” Fiers said. “Just
too many jams, too many errant pitches.”
Cron had a two-run drive in the first and
Adames hit a fourth-inning solo shot. The
Rays (82-66) secured their first winning
season since reaching the playoffs in 2013
(92-71) as an AL wild-card team.
Diego Castillo worked the first inning for
the Rays, then Andrew Kittredge (3-2),
Hunter Wood and Jaime Schultz all went two
innings apiece.
Kittredge also got the win in the Rays’ 7-
5 victory Saturday night by retiring his
lowed with his second hit of the season, a sin-
gle to left. After Charlie Blackmon walked,
LeMahieu hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.
Black called Senzatela’s single the
biggest hit of the series for Colorado.
Senzatela’s only other hit this season was
on April 27 at Miami.
“We had those opportunities on Friday
and Saturday but we couldn’t capitalize,”
Black said. “Today we did and ironically it’s
just the pitcher.”
Chris Shaw had a two-out RBI single in
the sixth for the Giants.
Slater singled in Joe Panik in the eighth
to make it 3-2.
Rodriguez allowed five hits and one
earned run in six innings.
“It’s a tough one to lose when you’re get-
ting pitching like that,” San Francisco
manager Bruce Bochy said. “We had some
chances but we took a series. You try to take
something from that and hopefully carry
that into the next one.”

extremely hard and we know it’s going to
take some time.”
With CSM totaling just 308 yards of
offense, Carter accounted for a majority of
them. The 6-2, 195-pound freshman out of
Madison High School-San Diego was 7-of-
19 passing for 167 yards and three intercep-
tions, and also rushed for a team-high 66
yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
“He’s got a lot of talent,” Tulloch said.
“He’s got arm talent. He’s got a live arm, he
throws a really good ball and makes good
decisions, especially on the run. He just
needs to get caught up and get up to speed
with what we’re doing. But we expect him to
do a great job.”
All told, however, CSM managed just
nine first downs in the game.
“[American River’s defense] did a good
job,” Tulloch said. “They were stout up
front. They do a good job. Knowing we had
a new quarterback on deck, it was something
we wanted to be able to do was take some
pressure off him running the ball. So, they
loaded up the box and did a good job.”
American River gained 414 total yards,
including 22 first downs. Heading into the
fourth quarter, however, the Bulldogs held a
7-6 lead. Then the fireworks started, with

tion of the day.
With the Bulldogs leading 7-6, the pick
by Justin Houlihan gave American River the
ball at the CSM 41-yard line with 9:47 to
go.
Beavers running back Evyn Holtz — 29
carries for a game-high 155 yards — rattled
the fight close, only to listen in disbelief
once again as he wasn’t declared the winner.
“I feel like I’m a champion but he’s also a
champion,” Golovkin said. “It was a fight
of two champions tonight.”
Indeed it was, as Alvarez abandoned his
strategy from the first fight to box moving
forward against Golovkin. It was a risky
strategy but paid off — though just barely.
Though Triple G and his handlers were
careful not to criticize the decision, promot-
er Tom Loeffler admitted later that it was
tough to win a decision in an arena packed
with Alvarez fans on Mexican Independence
Day weekend.

Unlike many close decisions in boxing,
though, there was no huge outcry, largely
because the fight was almost too close to
call.
“It was me who pushed him back, me who
was most aggressive,” Alvarez said through
an interpreter. “Unfortunately we didn’t get
the knockout, but we got the victory.”
Alvarez said before the fight that he was
angry with Golovkin over his beliefs that
Alvarez was juiced for their first fight, and
would try and knock him out. But few
believed he would be the aggressor in a
fight against a boxer with big power in
both hands.

Tulloch said of Ahoia’s performance. “He
did a great job.”
A roughing the passer penalty on third
down gave American River second life.
Three plays later, Cruz scored on a 6-yard
keeper to give the Beavers a 12-7 lead.
CSM answered right back, driving 58
yards on eight plays. Sophomore running
back Cam Taylor opened with a 19-yard
carry into Beavers’ territory. Carter’s legs
ate up the bulk of yards from there, as the
quarterback ran for gains of 17 and 10 yards
before dancing in to the end zone on a 2-
yard carry to give the Bulldogs a 13-12 lead
with 2:05 to go.
The ensuing kickoff pinned American
River at its own 8-yard line. But Cruz solved
that problem with two big completions,
starting with a 46-yarder to Donovan
Hawkins to advance to the CSM 46. Then,
facing third-and-5 with 51 seconds to go,
Cruz aired it out to Davis for a 41-yard strike
for the game-winner.
“I don’t think it was a fatigue thing,”
Tulloch said of the defensive letdown. “It
was one of those games that, at the end,
could have gone either way.”
CSM has one more non-conference game to
go, hosting Fresno City College this coming
Saturday at Bulldog Stadium at 2 p.m.
Tulloch said his team is ready to hit the
reset button after Saturday’s grueling loss.
“You could see it,” Tulloch said. “The look
in their eye was one of resolve and they
can’t wait to get back to work Monday.
They know we’re improving … we’re head-
ing in the right direction. We’re a young
team growing every game and they can see
the results on the field.”

action. Alvarez controlled the middle rounds

first-round knockout over Ireland’s Gary

For now, though, Alvarez can celebrate
his biggest win at a crucial time in his career
as he tries to cement his status as a storied

“It’s very important for me to have a vic-

THE DAILY JOURNAL
The most recent Predator film was the weekend’s biggest box office draw.
’The Predator’ gobbles up competition at box office
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “The Predator” is at the top of the food
chain in its first weekend in theaters.
20th Century Fox said Sunday that the film earned an esti-
mated $24 million from more than 4,000 North American
theaters.
But with an $88 million production price tag, the Shane
Black-directed installment in the 30-year-old franchise will
be looking to international receipts to offset the cost. This
weekend, it earned $30.7 million from 72 foreign markets,
bringing the global total to $54.7 million.
Domestic audiences were largely male (62 percent) and
white (45 percent), and underwhelmed, giving the movie a
C+ CinemaScore that echoed the tepid critical response.
Starring Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown and Boyd
Holbrook, “The Predator” made headlines just weeks before
opening when the studio cut a scene that featured an actor
who was a registered sex offender. It did not appear to have
affected the film’s box office performance.
“Any conversation raises awareness,” said comScore sen-
ior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “If people are talking
about it then they’re aware of the movie.”
Second place went to the “Conjuring” spinoff “The Nun,”

public funds and serve the general public and they need to
provide care that meets the standard of care for all services.”
Speakers were also concerned that charity care — health
care provided for free or at a discount for low-income
patients — would by compromised by the merger.
During the hearing, about as many people spoke in favor
of the merger and said it will only enhance Sequoia
Hospital’s positive impact on the community.
“The goal of Dignity Health Sequoia has always been to
provide the highest quality medical care and this alliance
will help them further that goal. ... I’m hoping that these
issues can be clarified and resolved so that you can allow
this alliance to move forward,” said Diane Howard, vice
mayor of Redwood City. “Historically, [Dignity Health] has
joined with UCSF and the Cleveland Clinic to share
resources and knowledge. Now it plans to join with
Catholic Health Initiative to once again up its game.”
After the merger, the new hospital system will be called
Integrated Healthcare Operations, and it will include more
than 700 care sites and 139 hospitals across 28 states. It
will also employ more than 159,000 people and over
25,000 physicians and other advanced practice clinicians,
according to a press release.

which added $18.2 million in its second weekend. The hor-
ror pic has now grossed over $85 million.
Lionsgate’s “A Simple Favor” opened close behind in
third place with $16.1 million. The film from director Paul
Feig stars Anna Kendrick as a mommy blogger investigat-
ing the disappearance of her friend played by Blake Lively.
Feig has referred to it as a “friller,” a fun thriller. Female fall to development.
moviegoers drove the solid opening, making up 67 percent
of the audience.
“It stood out in the marketplace,” said David Spitz,
Lionsgate’s distribution president. “It kind of became an
event film. That’s why we exceeded expectations.”
With a B+ CinemaScore, an older audience that doesn’t
rush out to theaters opening weekend and positive reviews,
the studio expects the film will continue to play well over
the coming weeks.
Fourth and fifth places were neck and neck. According to
Sunday estimates, “White Boy Rick,” with $8.8 million,
had a slight advantage over “Crazy Rich Asians,” which
added $8.7 million and is just shy of hitting $150 million.
“White Boy Rick,” based on a true story and starring
Matthew McConaughey as the father of a teenage FBI
informant, opened in 2,504 theaters.
The Christian film “Unbroken: Path to Redemption” Ken White is the president of the Peninsula Humane Society
debuted in the No. 9 spot with $2.4 million.
The attorney general will consider public comment on the
merger through Sept. 27 and a decision will likely be made
several weeks after that, said Dignity Health spokeswoman
Felicity Simmons.
“We are hoping to complete the alignment by the end of
the year,” she said. “This alignment will allow us to contin-
ue caring for our communities for many years to come.”

Drain the swamp?
T
errifying, horrifying, paralyzing, frustrating, even
entertaining: no matter which side of the political
street you call home, this is a unique moment in our
nation. However, while my beat is the animals rather than
politics (and I do thank the heavens for that!), there’s an
expression we keep hearing in a political context that
deserves some review from an animal perspective. Drain
the swamp. Separate from the metaphor it has become,
from a literal sense is that really
such a good idea?
No, most decidedly it is a bad idea.
Swamps, wetlands, bogs and marsh-
es are natural spaces that hold water
much like a sponge, thereby control-
ling flooding and purifying natural
waterways. Nature and native wildlife
thrive in these land-water intersec-
tions and they play a critical role for
life on the planet. The Wragg Swamp
was drained half a century ago to
allow for the expansion of Mobile, Alabama. Replacing
this shallow, water-soaked, natural feature with impervious
concrete and asphalt (and all that was then built on those
surfaces) resulted in massive pollution of both water and air
qualities, but let’s not just pick on poor Mobile. Half or
more of the original 220-plus million acres of wetlands in
the continental United States have been destroyed, with
another quarter-million acres or more a year continuing to
Mosquitos and politicians are two of the most reviled
life-forms on the planet. Politicians live in Washington,
D.C., which, despite the common belief, actually never
was a swamp. Swamps are home to mosquitos and mosqui-
tos spread dangerous diseases, but mosquitos are not the
only ones who live in swamps. Swamps are also home to
— and essential for the survival of — many species of
birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles as well as plants and trees.
Florida without the Everglades and Okefenokee, just to pick
an obvious example, suffers far worse than a drop in
tourism. Draining swamps means the death of wildlife,
degradation of air and water, and increases in dangerous
flooding but not the lessening of political backstabbing
and anger. I say keep the swamps.

Warmer world makes hurricanes
more severe, wet and dangerous
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A warmer world makes
for nastier hurricanes. Scientists say they
are wetter, possess more energy and inten-
sify faster.
Their storm surges are more destructive
because climate change has already made
the seas rise. And lately, the storms seem
to be stalling more often and thus dumping
more rain.
Study after study shows that climate
change in general makes hurricanes worse.
But determining the role of global warm-
ing in a specific storm such as Hurricane
Florence or Typhoon Mangkhut is not so
simple — at least not without detailed sta-
tistical and computer analyses.
The Associated Press consulted with 17
meteorologists and scientists who study
climate change, hurricanes or both. A few
experts remain cautious about attributing
global warming to a single event, but
most of the scientists clearly see the hand
of humans in Florence.
Global warming didn’t cause Florence,
they say. But it makes the system a bigger
danger.
“Florence is yet another poster child for
Hillsborough police
seeking help finding burglars
Police are asking the public for help
tracking down three men who tried to bur-
glarize a Hillsborough home Friday, only to
be interrupted in the act by the homeowners.
The homeowners returned to their home at
the 2900 block of Churchill Drive around
9:15 p.m. and heard the alarm going off,
police said.

the human-supercharged storms that are
becoming more common and destructive as
the planet warms, ” said Jonathan
Overpeck, dean of the environment school
at University of Michigan. He said the risk
extends beyond the Atlantic Ocean, such
as Typhoon Mangkhut, which hit the
Philippines on Friday.
For years, when asked about climate
change and specific weather events, scien-
tists would refrain from drawing clear con-
nections. But over the past few years, the
new field of attribution studies has allowed
researchers to use statistics and computer
models to try to calculate how events
would be different in a world without
human-caused climate change.
A couple of months after Hurricane
Harvey, studies found that global warming
significantly increased the odds for
Harvey’s record heavy rains.
“It’s a bit like a plot line out of ‘Back to
the Future,’ where you travel back in time
to some alternate reality” that is plausible
but without humans changing the climate,
said University of Exeter climate scientist
Peter Stott, one of the pioneers of the
field.
A National Academy of Sciences report
finds these studies generally credible.
Local brief
Three men wearing hoodies sprinted
across the driveway, jumped the gate and
fled, according to police.
The suspects were driving a dark-colored
Honda sedan with paper plates that appeared
to be a 2015 model, police said.
Anyone who might have surveillance
camera footage or have seen the suspects is
asked to call police at (650) 375-7470.

ligence committee chairman said
Sunday he plans to release the tran-
scripts of dozens of private interviews
conducted during its investigation
into Russian election-meddling and
would push the director of national
intelligence to declassify others.

The council will discuss the issue and
potential regulations at its next meet-

smoking at businesses and requires
smokers to remain 20 feet from all
business doors.

Construction work entails repairing
the existing spandrel wall, wing walls
and concrete arch, rehabbing the can-
tilevered sidewalks and railings on
both sides of the bridge to meet current
ADA requirements and modifying the
northern approach to the bridge,
according to a staff report.
The road and walkways will still be
about the same width, though addition-
al handrails may be installed.

Case Number: 18PRO00961
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Dorothy B. Rouse, Doro-
thy June Baker Rouse and Dorothy
Rouse. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Boston Private Bank & Trust
Company in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Boston Pri-
vate Bank & Trust Company be appoint-
ed as personal representative to admin-
ister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
Tundra
203 Public notices
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: OCT. 16, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400

If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Official: Pressure sensors focus of gas explosions probe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE, Mass. — The investigation into the
Boston-area natural gas explosions is partially focused on
pressure sensors that were connected to a gas line that was
being taken out of service shortly before the blasts, the
head of the National Transportation Safety Board said
Sunday.
NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt said the sensors can sig-
nal for gas pressure to be increased if the pressure gets too
low. He said investigators will try to determine whether
those sensors played any role in Thursday’s explosions and
fires.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, a teenager
was killed and dozens of people were injured in Lawrence,
North Andover and Andover. Thousands were forced to leave
their homes.
Also Sunday, residents in the three communities north of
Boston were allowed to return to their homes after crews fin-

But Blanco disagrees with the vision authored by
Superintendent Stella Kemp, claiming the decision to close
El Crystal Elementary School occurred too promptly, with-
out adequate consideration of the community’s perspective.
“I voted no because I didn’t believe in closing the school
in the first place,” she said. “El Crystal was a gem in our
school district.”
Under the board’s decision, the district will issue a request
for proposals which are slated to be returned in November.
Officials will then interview interested buyers, with an eye
on reaching a sales agreement in December. Should terms be
reached, officials expect escrow will close by summer 2020.
Ultimately, officials are hopeful the revenue generated will
help pay toward the reconstruction of existing facilities
which need to be revamped and improved to accommodate
more students.
Trustee Kevin Martinez expressed his support for the facil-
ity strategy.
“The district’s long-term plan is very clear. And this is the
first, important step in an investment in the next generation
of schools,” he said.
The El Crystal Elementary School site is not the only

ished shutting off nearly 8,600 gas meters. Electricity was
restored to all the affected homes and businesses, but gas
service may not be restored for weeks.
“It’s evident to me and to all of us the Merrimack Valley
and the residents of our state are being as supportive as they
can be and as kind as they can be to one another during this
most difficult time,” Gov. Charlie Baker said at a news con-
ference Sunday. “We still have a very long way to go but
we’re very happy that people can return to their homes this
morning.”
Schools in Lawrence will be closed Monday because of
the natural gas situation, officials said.
Sumwalt said the investigation is focused on high pres-
sure in pipelines. On Saturday, he said officials will be look-
ing at how local Columbia Gas officials responded to a
“pressure increase” in the Lawrence area that was detected at
the company’s pipeline control center in Columbus, Ohio,
prior to the explosions and fires. He said there was no evi-
dence the explosions were intentional.
property on the sales block, as officials
agreed earlier this year Rollingwood
Elementary School would also be shut-
tered and sold. The timeline for the cam-
pus is yet to be determined though.
Beyond the property sales, officials are
hoping a forthcoming bond measure on
the fall ballot will pass, as the revenue
from the $79 million initiative could
Jennifer Blanco help shore up the district’s finances as
well.
Blanco said she does not agree with the bond measure
either, and she would have preferred a parcel tax be floated to
voters instead, adding closing schools is not a preferred tax
campaign platform.
“People are still upset and have trust issues because of the
way the closures happened,” said Blanco, referring to both
El Crystal and Rollingwood. “The whole process that we
went through to identify the schools that were to be closed,
we pissed off those two communities.”
Rather the follow a directive from administrators to close
and sell the schools, Blanco said she believes more commu-
nity feedback should have been sought from San Bruno resi-
dents.
“We need to hear from the community and we need to listen
to the community and we need to take direction from the
community,” she said. “Not the superintendent.”
Martinez disagreed and said he believes the district went

through a thorough and immersive com-
munity outreach process in advance of
pursuing the plan to sell the campuses.
“It pulled together people from all over
the community with expertise in all areas
to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the
conditions and the needs of the district
than I think we normally would have,” he
said.
Kevin Martinez Meanwhile, with doubts that the bond
will pass, Blanco said she believes it is
vital officials establish contingency plans to get the district
back to financial solvency.
“A lot of things are up in the air,” she said. “We can’t have
things up in the air, we need to be grounded.”
To establish a more certain path forward, Blanco said she
encouraged open and transparent communications with resi-
dents to assure they support any future decisions the board
makes.
“For me, we need to go back to the community and have
those conversations with them,” she said.
But Martinez harbored a more optimistic perspective in
his support of the district’s plan — the reconstruction gen-
erally, and the El Crystal Elementary School sale specifical-
ly.
“All in all, I don’t think we have anything to apologize
for. It’s a step forward that we should do when we are invest-
ing in our schools,” he said.
