The San Mateo County Transit
Districts accounting practices
fell short of generally used prin-
ciples in some areas but there is
no sign the agency purposely
cooked the books to justify more
taxpayer money, prosecutors
announced Tuesday.
The District Attorneys Office
said there was no evidence of
wrongdoing and the investiga-
tion is now closed. Assistant
District Attorney Al Serrato sent
a letter to SamTrans counsel
David J. Miller alerting him that
the investigation revealed no
evidence of theft, embezzlement
or other criminal conduct.
SamTrans ofcials welcomed the
news which conrmed what they
said they already knew.
We had full faith and condence
in our staff and never believed
there was any intention to conceal
or conduct business in an inappro-
priate manner, said spokes-
woman Jayme Ackemann.
SamTrans, also known as the
San Mateo County Transit
District, which claims a structural
deficit, operates budgets for
Caltrain, the county bus system,
also known as SamTrans, and the
Transportation Authority. The
Board of Supervisors approved
giving SamTrans $10 million in
Measure A sales tax funds for the
next two years to subsidize para-
transit.
While the investigation yielded
no signs of criminal acts, auditors
did note instances of accounting
practices there were inconsistent
with generally accepted account-
ing principles, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said in an
DA finds noSamTrans crimes
Investigation into financial practices shows some accounting shortfalls, but no wrongdoing

For the rst time since Martins
Beach was closed to the public, the
California Coastal Commission
announced its building a case to
reopen the beach by requesting the
public ll out a survey describing
their history with the contested
strip of coast.
In a case that spurred several
lawsuits and pending legislation
to reinstate public access to a
beach that was accessible to the
public for nearly 100 years, the
commissions survey indicates it
may be gearing up for a legal bat-
tle.
Billionaire venture capitalist
Vinod Khosla
bought Martins
Beach, just
south of Half
Moon Bay, in
2008 for $32.5
million and
shortly there-
after closed the
only access
road to the pub-
lic.
The case became controversial
by pitting the rights of private
property owners against
Californians long-established
right to access 840 miles of coast-
line.

ASouth San Francisco man could face life
in prison after being charged with molest-
ing an 8-year-old relative over the last three
years, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Manny Damaso Tagama, 58, was charged
Aug. 8 with seven counts of child molesta-
tion, including two alleging substantial
contact with a child 10 years old or younger,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
The victim, a close step relative and South
San Francisco resident, recently disclosed
to her father that she had been molested for
years during visits when she was left alone
with Tagama, police Sgt. Tom Neary said.
The victims father reported the case to
police Aug. 4 and Tagama was arrested Aug.
6, Neary said.
Wagstaffe said the rst alleged incident
occurred in August 2011 and Neary said the
most recent was reportedly July of this year.
Tagama is currently being held without
bail and is facing a life sentence based on
the age of the victim, Wagstaffe said.
When you have a molestation by some-
body in a position of authority and its a
very young victim, we aggressively prose-
cute them because we know the victim will
suffer a lifetime of damage, Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffe said Tagama has been referred to
a program that will set him up with a private
defender and is set to enter a plea at his next
court date Aug. 22, Wagstaffe said.
Wagstaffe said cases where a young victim
is traumatized at the hands of a relative are
difcult and have lasting consequences for
the abused.
Any time you have a violation of that
trust of a family member, obviously no
child molestation is good or OK, but if you
think about the level of trust, we know what
that does to the child. With therapy some
grow out of it, but for some it remains for-
ever, Wagstaffe said.
Tagama, who has no criminal history with
South San Francisco police, is not a blood
relative of the victim, Neary said. But
Tagama had opportunity, as the girl would
have family visits at Tagamas home, Neary
said.
Neary said its not unusual for children to
take time to disclose alleged molestation to
others and arent always clear. However,
there is evidence corroborating this vic-
tims story in this case, although he would-
nt conrm what it was as the investigation
is ongoing.
Neary said its cases such as this that
stress the importance for parents and
guardians to encourage children to report
inappropriate behavior.
Unfortunately, we do see these types of
situations in families. But its difcult to
know if a suspect may have a propensity to
do these types of things, Neary said. But
its always good to encourage kids to have
open dialogues with parents about the differ-
ence between good touch and bad touch and
if anything does occur, to report it immedi-
ately to their parents.

Pastor arrested,

A pastor at a San Francisco church was
arrested by Daly City police Tuesday morning

Ave. in San Franciscos Richmond District.
A woman who answered the phone at the

AP bill passes Senate
The state Senate voted 36-0
Monday to approve Senate Bill
915, which would create an expe-
dited timeline for investigations
and subsequent new testing for
Advanced Placement exams if
there are irregularities that cause
the scores to be canceled.
This bill, authored by state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, was in
response to the invalidation of
Advanced Placement tests taken
by Mills High School students. In
May 2013, some students taking
the exams at Mills were seated at
round tables, a violation of test-
ing protocols. After a student
complaint prompted an investiga-
tion by Educational Testing
Service (ETS), College Board, the
tests publisher, announced in
July that it would cancel 641 test
scores. Nearly 300 students were
allowed to retake the tests in
August.
The bill also requires test admin-
istrators to keep a seating chart,
noting the Mills High School
investigation was delayed and a
wide range of scores canceled
because there was no documenta-
tion showing where students sat.
The bill is heading to Gov. Jerry
Brown, who has 12 days, includ-
ing weekends, to sign the legisla-
tion.
Crash closes San
Mateo-Hayward Bridge
The westbound lanes of the San
Mateo-Hayward Bridge were
closed for about four hours Tuesday
because of a major collision and
oil spill, according to the
California Highway Patrol.
The crash happened at 8:56 a.m.
when a big-rig carrying dry
cement collided with two box
trucks and two other vehicles in
the westbound lanes of State Route
92 near the Foster City Boulevard
on-ramp, spilling diesel fuel onto
the road, according to the CHP.
Ofcers started turning around
westbound drivers at the bridge
toll plaza in Hayward shortly after
the crash. Two westbound lanes of
the highway were reopened at
12:53 p.m. and the remaining two
were reopened by 1:07 p.m.,
according to the CHP.
The driver of the big-rig was
injured, but the CHP did not imme-
diately disclose the drivers condi-
tion.
Traffic lights to
see signal timing changes
Foster City drivers will have
more time to make left turns at
lights during peak hours after city
ofcials adjust the timing at some
of its intersections starting Sept.
8, according to the city.
At some intersections, signals
may operate in a different
sequence. For instance, where a
left turn is normally served after a
through movement, it may now be
served prior to the through move-
ment. During a.m. and p.m. coor-
dination periods at many intersec-
tions, more time will be allocated
for some of the left turn move-
ments. Midday coordination will
be removed at all intersections as
there does not appear to be a dom-
inant direction of travel during the
middle of the day as there is during
the morning and afternoon com-
mute, according to the city.
Peak periods are approximately
7:30 p.m.-9:30 a.m., 11:30 p.m.-
1:30 p.m., and 4:30 p.m.-6:30
p.m.
The trafc signal coordination
was funded through a grant from
the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission.
For more information about the
Traffic Signal Coordination
Program, contact Public Works
Engineering at (650) 286-3270 or

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion wrongly denied for weeks in 2013 that
it had released more than 2,000 immigrants
from jails because lower-ranking govern-
ment ofcials failed to notify the Homeland
Security secretary they were letting them go
due to budget concerns, according to an
oversight report released Tuesday.
The harshly critical, 41-page report from
the Homeland Security Departments
inspector general also said ofcials at U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
failed to plan adequately for the rise of
immigrant arrests at the Mexican border and
didnt track available funds or spending
accurately.
The Homeland Security Department did
not immediately respond to a request for
comment by phone and email from the
Associated Press.
Citing internal budget documents, the AP
reported on March 1, 2013, that the admin-
istration had released more than 2,000
immigrants in the preceding two weeks and
planned to release 3,000 more amid the
looming budget cuts.

SAN RAFAEL Struggling with depres-
sion, Robin Williams tried to cut his wrist and
hanged himself in a bedroom of his San
Francisco Bay Area home, ofcials said
Tuesday.
His wife likely was home at the time but
was unaware, Marin County Sheriffs Lt.
Keith Boyd said.
Williams was last seen alive by his wife
Sunday night when she went to bed, Boyd
said. She woke up the next morning and left,
thinking he was still asleep elsewhere in the
house.
Shortly after that, Williamspersonal assis-
tant came to the Tiburon home and became
concerned when Williams failed to respond to
knocks at a door. The assistant found the 63-
year-old actor clothed and dead in a bedroom.
Boyd said all evidence indicates Williams,
star of Good Will Hunting, Mrs.
Doubtre, Good Morning, Vietnam and
dozens of other lms, committed suicide by
hanging himself with a belt. But he said a
nal ruling will be made once toxicology
reports and interviews with witnesses are
complete.
The condition of the body indicated
Williams had been dead for at least a few
hours, Boyd said. Williams also had super-
cial cuts on his wrist, and a pocketknife was
found nearby.
Williams had been seeking treatment for
depression, Boyd said. He would not say
whether the actor left a suicide note.
We still have people we want to speak with
so there is some information were going to
withhold, Boyd said. Were not discussing
the note or a note at this point as the investi-
gation is ongoing.
The Oscar-winning actor for years dealt
with bouts of substance abuse and depression
and referenced his struggles in his comedy
routines.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and
Democratic legislative leaders made a public
push Tuesday for their latest plan to pay for
water projects a day ahead of scheduled votes
in the Legislature.
The Democratic leaders are pushing a pro-
posal to borrow $7 billion to increase the
states water supply and restore its rivers,
lakes and streams. They touted support from
more than 20 business, agriculture and envi-
ronmental groups with representatives seat-
ed around a table in the governors ofce.
Absent were Republicans, whose support
is necessary to replace the $11.1 billion
water bond measure already on the November
ballot.
Were very close. Theres been a lot of
compromise, Brown said. This is a very
balanced, integrated plan. Its not a grab
bag.
The need for a water bond has been high-
lighted by the states worst drought in a gen-
eration that is forcing farmers to fallow
elds and local governments to mandate
water restrictions.
Provisions in the latest bond proposal
involving water recycling and groundwater
cleanup could increase the availability of
water during future droughts.
The bond also includes other water proj-
ects not directly related to supply such as
ecosystem restoration and ood manage-
ment.
Brown has been pushing for the less cost-
ly bond to minimize state debt. The latest
proposal would authorize $7 billion in new
borrowing and tap into $200 million in
unused money for water contained in two pre-
vious ballot propositions.

A San Mateo man with three prior
convictions for driving while under
the inuence is looking at more than
seven years prison time for crashing
into two separate occupied cars while
intoxicated last year.
Tom Robert Wilkinson, 60, pleaded
no contest to felony counts of DUI and
drug possession with the special alle-
gations he caused great bodily injury
and had multiple victims. He will be
sentenced Oct. 9 and faces up to seven
years and eight months in prison.
Wilkinson took the plea deal the
morning he was to
begin a jury trial.
Wi l k i n s o n s
blood alcohol level
was .39 two hours
after authorities say
around 8:20 p.m.
Sept. 13, 2013, he
crashed into a car
parked on B Street
in San Mateo. The
impact shoved the head of the cars
occupant into the windshield and
pushed the vehicle over a curb into
another person who was pinned
against a bench.
Wilkinson left the scene but the vic-
tims were able to get his license plate
and alert police. Afew blocks from the
initial collision, Wilkinson rear-ended
another car, injuring the driver who
lost consciousness.
This was a very serious case,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
San Mateo police found Wilkinson
at that scene and took him to a hospi-
tal where his blood was tested.
Hospital personnel also reported nd-
ing a hydrocodone pill in his pants
pocket.
Wilkinson has three prior DUI con-
victions including one in July 2013,
only two months before his latest col-
lision.
He remains in custody on $200,000
bail.

In order to make this work, we really
had to dive and put our head down and
really push hard, said Will.
Two months before they launched,
James Hayes the executive chef, was
working on recipes in his Sunnyvale
apartment when he realized the building
was engulfed in ames.
I just ran out with nothing but my
shoes and had to leave everything
behind, James Hayes said.
He lost the menu, notes and recipes
stored in a laptop burned by the re.
Will and James Hayes said it was a set-
back but they were prepared to do what it
takes to realize what they started. They
had been unfullled with their careers and
remember talking about owning their
own business since they were young.
We are always hosting and entertain-
ing our family and friends and when we
get together, they always joke and say
that one day, theyll be eating at our
restaurant, Will Hayes said.
After three years of planning and
scouting locations, they secured a spot
in Redwood Shores. The neighborhood
had not seen a sit-down dining venue
open there since 1993, said Kasey
Broach, marketing director for The Grill
House.
I love having something like this in
the neighborhood where I can meet
friends, have great food and connect, it
builds a sense of community, said Amy
Buckmaster, president and CEO of the
Redwood City-San Mateo County
Chamber of Commerce.
The classic American menu focuses on
using locally farmed produce and a
theme that ties their food with grilling
and craft beers. For example, The Grill
Houses version of tomato soup and
grilled cheese is a bowl of fragrant
tomatoes that are grilled and pureed
served alongside a crusty panini bread
grilled with melted cheddar cheese.
Their house vinaigrette starts off with
a conventional oil and red wine vinegar
base then infused with Trumer Pils from
a local brewery, which gives it a slight
oral and nutty note.
With more than 16 craft beers on tap,
locally produced vodka and liquor and a
menu that focuses on local and fresh
ingredients the community has been
overwhelmingly positive, said Wi l l
Hayes.
The Grill House brings in more foot
trafc and this area needed a variety of
foods, we all need to support each
other, said Nariman Obeidi, owner of
Falafel Tazah, a few doors down.
Broach said Redwood Shores is the
perfect community to serve, with more
than 11,000 residents and thousands
more employees from companies in the
area that now have a place to sit down
and be treated like family.

MALIKIYA, Syria In a dusty camp here,
Iraqi refugees have new heroes: Syrian
Kurdish ghters who battled militants to
carve out an escape route for tens of thou-
sands trapped on a mountaintop.
While the U.S. and Iraqi militaries struggle
to aid the starving members of Iraqs Yazidi
minority with supply drops from the air, the
Syrian Kurds took it on themselves to rescue
them. The move underlined how they like
Iraqi Kurds are using the regions conicts
to establish their own rule.
For the past few days, ghters have been
rescuing Yazidis from the mountain, trans-
porting them into Syrian territory to give
them rst aid, food and water, and returning
some to Iraq via a pontoon bridge.
The Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking minority
who follow an ancient Mesopotamian faith,
started to ee to the Sinjar mountain chain
on Aug. 2, when militants from the extrem-
ist Islamic State group took over their near-
by villages. The militants see them as
heretics worthy of death.
Iraq isnt Syria:
Congress on board this time
WASHINGTON Little of the impas-
sioned debate that fractured lawmakers last
year over possible military intervention in
Syria is happening now as American war-
planes strike extremist targets in Iraq.
Almost a week into the Obama administra-
tions emergency action in northern Iraq,
the campaign is attracting surprisingly
broad bipartisan support. Republicans have
issued several I-told-you-so statements and
called for stronger action, and dovish
Democrats say theyre concerned about slip-
ping into a new war. But outright opposi-
tion has been muted.

SYDNEY U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry urged Iraqs new leaders on Tuesday to
work quickly to form an inclusive govern-
ment and said the U.S. is prepared to offer
significant additional aid in the fight
against Islamic State militants.
Kerry said the U.S. stands ready to fully
support a new and inclusive Iraqi govern-
ment and called on Prime Minister-desig-
nate Haider al-Ibadi to form a new cabinet
as swiftly as possible. As that happens, he
said Washington would be ready to fully
support a new and inclusive Iraqi govern-
ment, particularly in its ght against ISIL,
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Without any question, we are prepared to
consider additional political, economic and
security options as Iraq starts to build a new
government, Kerry said. He added that the
assistance would be very much calculated
to try to help stabilize the security situa-
tion, expand economic development and
strengthen democratic institutions.
In California, U.S. Defense Secretary
Chuck Hagel announced that another 130
U.S. troops arrived in northern Iraq on
Tuesday on a temporary mission to assess
the scope of the humanitarian crisis facing
thousands of displaced Iraqi civilians
trapped on Sinjar Mountain.
Hagel told Marines at Camp Pendleton
that the latest deployment was not a combat
operation.
Adefense ofcial, speaking on condition
of anonymity to provide additional details
on the sensitive mission, said the extra
troops were Marines and special operations
forces sent to assess the situation at Sinjar
and to develop additional humanitarian
assistance options beyond current U.S.
efforts there.
There already are 250 U.S. military advis-
ers in Iraq working with Iraqi security
forces.

Pakistan rallies to test government, its democracy
ISLAMABAD Ahead of planned massive anti-govern-
ment protests, Pakistans capital feels like a city preparing
for a siege.
Shipping containers block roads leading into central
Islamabad, placed by security forces hoping to halt protest-
ers supporting either a ery anti-government cleric or a
cricket star-turned-politician. Police in riot gear can be seen
taking up positions across the city as authorities suspended
mobile phone service in some areas. Meanwhile, those wor-
ried the government may cut off fuel shipments to slow
demonstrators have lined up at gas stations.
The protests Thursday represent the strongest challenge
yet to the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, just
a year after he took ofce in the rst democratic transfer of
power in a country long plagued by military coups. And how
the country reacts to calls for Sharifs ouster will show how
far its nascent democracy has come.
I think there is going to be a test of wills in Islamabad,
said Rasul Bakhsh Rais, who heads the Institute for
Strategic Studies.
Two men are at the forefront of challenges to Sharif.
The rst is Tahir-ul-Qadri, a Pakistani cleric whos also a
Canadian national. He commands a loyal following of thou-
sands through his network of mosques and religious schools
in Pakistan. Last year, Qadri held a protest in the capital
calling for vaguely worded election reforms ahead of the
countrys May poll, grinding life in Islamabad to a halt.

CAIRO Egypt presented a proposed
cease-re to Israel and Hamas aimed at end-
ing the monthlong war, Palestinian of-
cials said early Wednesday after negotiators
huddled for a second day of Egyptian-medi-
ated talks meant to resolve the crisis and
bring relief to the embattled Gaza Strip.
Palestinian ofcials told the Associated
Press early Wednesday morning that
Egypts proposal calls for easing parts of
the Israeli blockade of Gaza, bringing some
relief to the territory. But it leaves the key
areas of disagreement, including the Islamic
militant group Hamas demand for a full lift-
ing of the blockade and Israeli calls for
Hamas to disarm, to later negotiations.
If the sides accept the proposal it would
have a signicant impact on Palestinians in
Gaza as it would improve the movement of
individuals and merchandise to the West
Bank, the ofcials said. Gaza exports and
other businesses have been hit hard by
restrictions imposed on the territory by
Israel and Egypt after Hamas took control of
Gaza in 2007.
One of the Palestinian officials who
spoke to AP said that according to the
Egyptian proposal the blockade would be
gradually eased.
He said it would stipulate that Israel would
end airstrikes on militants, and a 500-meter
(547-yard) buffer zone next to the Gaza and
Israel frontier would be reduced over time,
he said.
The Israeli and Palestinian negotiating
teams retired after 10 hours of discussions
and will resume the talks later Wednesday,
about 12 hours before the current cease-re
is set to expire at midnight, the ofcials
said.
It was not immediately clear if either side
would accept the deal.

OPINION 9
Not all Arabs are natives
Editor,
In his letter State of affairs (pub-
lished in the Aug. 12 edition of the
Daily Journal), Mike Caggianos
description of Palestinian Arab ter-
rorism as the pushback from the
natives opposed to being kicked
out is incorrect. Not all Arabs who
say they are natives are. Robert
Kennedy noted in his articles pub-
lished in the Boston Post after his
visit to the Middle East in March
1948 that, The Jews point with
pride to the fact that over 500,000
Arabs in the 12 years between 1932
and 1944, came into Palestine to
take advantage of living conditions
existing in no other Arab state. This
is the only country in the Near and
Middle East where an Arab middle
class is in existence.
West Bank phone books are filled
with Arab place-surnames that attest
to Palestinian places of origin. For
example, al-Masri means from
Egypt, Khamis means from
Bahrain, al-Ajami means from
Iran, al-Shami means from Syria,
al-Lubnani means from Lebanon,
etc.
Even UNRWAtook into account
that many Arabs were simply going
home in 1948 by defining Palestine
refugees as persons whose normal
place of residence was Palestine
between June 1946 and May 1948.

Millbrae: Polluted
by its own people
Editor,
Smoking is hazardous to your
health, and Millbrae is being polluted
by its own people.
Check out the streets on Broadway
and El Camino Real between Millbrae
Avenue, past Hillcrest toward Trader
Joes. I was totally appalled when I
walked that route one day last week
coming from BART. I have never seen
so many cigarette butts there were
hundreds in front of restaurants and
retail stores. There were many in side-
walk cracks, by full trash bins and on
the streets. I just not could believe it.
I took pictures, emailed Millbrae
City Council and hand delivered a
copy of the email and photos to City
Hall one week ago. I received no
response.
Of course we have a smoking ordi-
nance. So who enforces the codes? On
El Camino Real near Hillcrest, I spot-
ted a sign that said No Skateboarding
and No Smoking within 25 feet of
restaurant. I almost missed it. No
Smoking signs are posted on win-
dows at Peets Coffee tiny ones.
They try to keep their sidewalks clean,
but it certainly is a challenge.
I went back to the route I had taken a
few days ago, and the same butts were
still around. Millbrae has become one
giant ashtray.
I invite the mayor and councilmem-
bers to make city rounds once in
awhile instead of looking through
rose-colored glasses. Honestly, we can
do better than this. Our little city is
missing out. Who wants to shop in a
dirty city?

The importance
of print journalism
Editor,
After the latest news of Gannett and
others spinning off their newspapers
in an ever-shrinking world of print
journalism, I want to express my
appreciation to the Daily Journal for
its coverage of local news and issues.
The whole concept of good gover-
nance depends on a public informed
about their elected and appointed of-
cials. Congratulations to the entire
Journal staff and reporters for the
impressive awards earned this year.

Letters to the editor
By Bob Stine
T
he Foster City Council made
the news recently because of
its efforts to ban smoking in
most areas of Foster City. Although
there seemed to be strong support for
most of the proposal, a couple issues
became more controversial, leading
to newsworthy discourse.
Minor concerns were expressed
about the proposal to make smoking
illegal in apartments but not town-
houses. Apparently, the council is
concerned about protecting renters
(but not homeowners) from the dan-
gers of cigarette smoke.
Unfortunately, it was pointed out that
some townhouse owners rent their
dwellings; what happens to the safety
of those renters, living next door to
the smokers legally smoking them-
selves to death and allowing their
smoke to invade the homes of their
hapless neighbors?
The real controversy, however, cen-
tered over the passionate desire of
some councilmembers to include
hookah smoke in the ban, the inclu-
sion creating a fear of loss of busi-
ness at the Waterfront Pizza business.
I had the opportu-
nity to listen to the
impassioned argu-
ments from one of
the councilmembers
and a member of the
Parks and
Recreation
Committee. These
proponents of the
ban assured me that the hookah
smoke outside the restaurant was so
egregious as to make it impossible
for non-smokers to walk through the
area. Not only would they be offended
by the smell of the smoke, but they
would surely be susceptible to cancer.
That clearly made this a public safety
issue!
I decided to visit the establishment
to see for myself. I ordered a small
Waterfront Special pizza and a beer
and placed myself in the center of the
danger zone on the boardwalk with
hookah smokers all around me. Much
to my surprise, I discovered I couldnt
smell the smoke without some effort.
I then noticed the smoke was being
blown almost straight up into the
atmosphere by the typical Foster City
wind.
I subsequently asked my ban-propo-
nent friend how often he thought peo-
ple would have to walk through the
area before the inevitability of con-
tracting cancer would capture them.
Unfortunately, I didnt feel I got a
valid answer from him.
The great outcome of this exercise
is that I discovered what delicious
pizza is available at Waterfront Pizza.
I might not have ever discovered this
delight if it wasnt for the controver-
sy created by the City Council. Thank
you for introducing me to this ne
establishment.
By the way, Ive decided to live dan-
gerously and leave my gas mask at
home on future visits.

in San Mateo, but spends much of his
time in Foster City. He is currently a

babies. When you think about how things have changed
even just since their parents were born, it certainly gives us
pause for concern.
It causes concern about
the potential of all children
and how, depending upon
their luck in their future,
they can be helped to grow
into well-functioning peo-
ple or become unfortunate
victims of trauma that
affects their lives in a way
that will cause them to
become problems for them-
selves and for society. Its
amazing how there isnt
more attention paid to the
fact that a great many of the
ills of societies throughout the world are caused by people
who did not have the care and nurturing necessary and/or
had experienced serious trauma that prevented them from
developing into well-functioning people.
You cant help but grieve for the tens of thousands of
children being sent to the United States from Central
America via Mexico 57,000 reported since last October.
When I think of those children, after all theyve already
been through, being shuttled off to the United States from
other countries, and the sad plight of many children who
reside in this country, it brings to mind what Piero Ferucci
wrote in The Importance of Kindness. The sense of
belonging that is, the feeling that we are part of a whole
greater than ourselves, with which we are physically, men-
tally and spiritually involved is a necessary factor to our
well-being. Furthermore, when we feel isolated, we will
seek some afliation at all costs, even with groups that are
violent, dangerous, extremist. This is one of the reasons
many adolescents are attracted by gangs, cults and sects.
Children who are exposed to severe trauma whether its
parental violence (against the child or each other), losing a
parent, being ignored by parents, suffering from other
tragedies, or sent away to live with strangers, are more
likely to cause problems for themselves and others. And, as
Tovah P. Klein, Ph.D, wrote in How Toddlers Thrive: If a
young child is raised in a chronic environment of high
stress (such as the emotional stress of living in poverty or
the physical stress from abuse), that childs brain will be
forever altered. Security, comfort, freedom, limits are
essential ingredients for healthy development of the
brain.
Children need to know intrinsically that at least one per-
son in their life cares enough about them to give them the
attention they need to nurture them in a way that makes
them feel wanted and cherished. They need to feel like they
are important enough to their caretaker(s) that adequate time
and attention is spent on their behalf. It makes you wonder
how much anxiety the overstressed lives that so many par-
ents lead create in a young child?
Are we asking too much to expect a baby or young child
to adjust to being taken away from home every day to be
parked in day care with people who are often unable to give
the child the attention he/she needs? And what will be the
ultimate effects of an even greater trauma that results from a
child from being torn away from home to live in a strange
environment like the children that have been crossing the
border? While we may think of stress as purely emotional,
doctors know that it churns up complex physiological reac-
tions that involve the nervous, endocrine and immune sys-
tems. Other peoples stress: Its contagious, but it
doesnt have to bring you down, by Martha Ross, San
Mateo County Times, July 27.
Just think if many more children growing up into todays
world were lucky enough to be spared serious trauma and to
have parents who do their best to make their world a secure
and promising place for them? Just think of how much less
turmoil and suffering there would be in the world if more
attention were paid to the physical and psychological
needs of children by not only parents, but the education
establishment and those in government. If we fail to pro-
tect our children allowing so many to be damaged by
caretakers who are concerned only about their own agendas
and little about the future of our most precious national
resource, we are abdicating our responsibility as parents
and citizens.
The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world
that it leaves to its children. Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
pulled back slightly Tuesday, following
two days of gains, as investors focused
on the damage that ongoing geopoliti-
cal tensions were causing the global
economy.
Energy stocks were among the
biggest decliners, dragged down by
lower oil prices.
U.S. stock indexes opened modestly
higher but turned lower at mid-morning
and stayed there for the rest of the day.
Investors took a cue from Europe, where
Germanys benchmark index fell more
than 1 percent and Frances CAC 40 fell
nearly 1 percent.
An indicator of German investor con-
dence dropped to its lowest level in 20
months. Investors worried that the
Ukraine crisis will start dragging down
the German economy, Europes largest.
The continent is much more exposed to
Russia than the U.S. is. Europe also gets
most of its natural gas from Russia.
The Ukraine situation has dragged the
German stock market down more than 8
percent from its early July peak.
The Ukraine-Russia situation may be
at a standstill politically, but it is
weighing on the German economy and,
more broadly, the eurozone, said Sean
Lynch, a managing director at Wells
Fargo Private Bank.
It has been a quiet week for investors
overall, with little economic data or
company earnings to work through.
Absent hard data to pull the market
higher, the current trend for the market
is down, Lynch said.
Fears of a Russian invasion of
Ukraine have faded in recent days, but
worries about conicts around the globe
are likely to keep investors on edge in
the coming weeks.
Aconvoy of more than 260 Russian
trucks, reportedly packed with supplies,
moved toward Russias border with
Ukraine on Tuesday, but Kiev said the
goods would only be allowed to cross if
they were inspected by the International
Red Cross. Ukraine is fearful that Russia
could use the move as a cover for send-
ing troops into the separatist-held terri-
tory.
Investors are also watching political
machinations and violence unfold in
oil-rich Iraq. On Tuesday, that nations
embattled prime minister, Nouri al-
Maliki, tried to stay in power as Iraqi
politicians and the international com-
munity rallied behind a political com-
petitor.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
9.44 points, or 0.1 percent, to
16,560.54. The Standard & Poors 500
index fell 3.17 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 1,933.75 and the Nasdaq composite
fell 12.08 points, or 0.3 percent, to
4,389.25.
Energy stocks in the S&P500 fell 0.7
percent, the most of the 10 sectors in
the index. Kinder Morgan declined near-
ly 2 percent after rising 9 percent the
day before on news it would combine
several companies under its control.
Anadarko Petroleum and Diamond
Offshore Drilling fell more than 2 per-
cent.
Energy stocks have declined notice-
ably in the last month, due largely to
falling oil and natural gas prices. Brent
crude, which is traded in the U.K. and is
considered a broader gauge of the inter-
national oil market, is trading at a nine-
month low. U.S. crude is trading at a
seven-month low.
The price of U.S. crude oil slipped 71
cents to $97.37 a barrel Tuesday. That
followed three days of increases over
concerns about the reliability of Iraqi
oil production.
There were other signs that investors
were in a risk-off mode. The Russell
2000 index, which is made up primarily
of smaller and riskier companies, fell
0.8 percent, much more than the rest of
the market.
In individual stocks, Kate Spade
plunged $9.87, or 25 percent, to $29
after executives for the handbag compa-
ny warned that sales growth could slow
this year and prot margins were being
hit. The comments came after Kate
Spade reported a better-than-expected
quarterly prot .
Stocks fall as geopolitical risks remain

WASHINGTON Hundreds of thousands
of people who signed up under the new
health care law risk losing their taxpayer-
subsidized insurance unless they act quickly
to resolve questions about their citizenship
or immigration status. The government
warned on Tuesday that they have just over
three weeks to show that theyre eligible.
Of the 8 million people who signed up for
private coverage through President Barack
Obamas law, more than 2 million at one
point had discrepancies of some sort that
clouded their eligibility. That number has
been greatly reduced but the remaining
cases are proving difcult to untangle.
People living in the country illegally are
not allowed to get coverage. Ofcials at the
Health and Human Services Department said
letters are being sent to about 310,000 peo-
ple with documentation issues involving
citizenship or immigration.
The letters will notify enrollees with
unresolved issues that they still need to
upload their documents to the
HealthCare.gov website by Sept. 5, or mail
them in. Otherwise, their coverage will end
on Sept. 30.
Many havent responded to repeated out-
reach efforts. Hispanics, who historically
have lagged in health insurance coverage,
may account for a big share of the group.
Indeed, two states with large Latino popu-
lations top the list of unresolved cases.
Florida has 93,800 cases, while Texas has
52,700. Georgia, Virginia and
Pennsylvania round out the top ve. The
letters are being sent in English and
Spanish.
Some supporters of the law worried that
eligible consumers might lose coverage due
to record-keeping problems on the govern-
ments part, or because of something as
mundane as letters getting lost in the mail.
Many of these people have issues
because government les are incomplete,
said Ron Pollack, executive director of the
advocacy group Families USA. Many may
feel that they have fully complied with what
is necessary to get health coverage.
Deadline to clear up health law eligibility near
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Apple primari-
ly relies on white and Asian men for its
top-paying technology jobs, feeding
the perception that Silicon Valleys
economic boom is largely excluding
women, blacks and Hispanics.
A breakdown released Tuesday by
Apple Inc. showed 54 percent of the
companys technology jobs in the
U.S. are lled by whites and another 23
percent by Asians. Men make up 80
percent of Apples technology work-
force throughout the world. The
iPhone and iPad maker didnt provide
racial statistics for its global work-
force of 98,000 employees.
Apples technological tilt toward
white and Asian men is similar to situ-
ations previously disclosed during the
past three months by other major
Silicon Valley companies, including
Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Facebook
Inc., Twitter Inc. and LinkedIn Corp.
Apple, the worlds most valuable
company, has the largest workforce
among that group. Asignicant chunk
of Apples $575 billion market value
has enriched Apple programmers and
other technology workers who
received stock options to supplement
their salaries, which routinely exceed
$100,000.
The tech companies have been shar-
ing the demographic data that they
compile for the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission under pressure from the
Rev. Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow
PUSH coalition. Jackson has been
focusing on the tech companies
because the industry has become a cat-
alyst for new jobs and wealth as con-
sumers buy more gadgets and spend
more time immersed in digital servic-
es.
Like its peers, Apple acknowledged
its workforce isnt as diverse as it
should be. Apple CEO Tim Cook
expressed his disappointment in a let-
ter posted alongside the companys
data. Lower-level executives of the
other tech companies had addressed
diversity when they disclosed the com-
positions of their workforces.

NEW YORK Wal-Mart thought
shoppers would like the opportunity
to use a smartphone app to scan items
they want to buy as they walk through
store aisles. In theory, they could
speed through self-checkout.
But customers couldnt figure out
how to work the Scan & Go app dur-
ing tests in 200 stores, so Wal-Mart
nixed it.
Instead of looking at the app as a
failure, though, Wal-Mart took what it
learned from Scan & Go to create
another service: It found that cus-
tomers like being able to track their
spending, an insight that became the
impetus for a national program that
enables shoppers to store electronic
receipts.
The story behind Scan & Go
illustrates how traditional retailers
increasingly are using the nimbler
approach to innovating that Silicon
Valley startups are known for. Rather
than perfecting a program before
rolling it out as most retailers do
theyre doing more testing and
refining as they go along. If the
tests work, theyre rolled out
nat i onal l y. If they dont, retailers
shutter them and incorporate what
they learn into other projects.
The test-and-learn approach comes
as retailers face intense competition
for U.S. shoppers, many of who are
still struggling nancially. Wal-Mart,
for instance, has had sales declines at
its established U.S. discount stores for
over a year. The industry also is ght-
ing to keep pace with rapidly chang-
ing technology and online retailers
like Amazon.com that lure customers
with low prices and beefed up services.
Retailers need to fail often and learn
quickly and adapt and then adopt, said
Lori Schafer, executive adviser at SAS
Institute, which creates software for
retailers.
Wal-Mart to continue trying the test smartphone app services

Tony Stewart could still face criminal charges
for running down Kevin Ward Jr. with his sprint
car, even if the three-time NASCAR champion
didnt mean to kill Ward, hurt him or even scare
him.
Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero, who
announced on Tuesday that the investigation is
continuing, has said that his initial ndings
have turned up nothing that would indicate crim-
inal intent in the crash at the Canandaigua
Motorsports Park.
But legal experts agree
that does not mean Stewart
is in the clear.
The NASCAR star could
be charged with second-
degree manslaughter under
New York law if prosecutors
believe he recklessly
caused the death of another
person, with negligent
homicide another possibil-
ity, according to criminal law professor Corey
Rayburn Yung of the Kansas University School
of Law.
The question over whether someone was
reckless is a factual one, and one a prosecutor
might let a jury decide, said Yung, who also
posts at the Concurring Opinion blog.
Athletes in competition often do things that
would get the average person arrested think
two boxers in the ring, or a baserunner sliding
into second with his spikes high. But some-
times an act is so far outside the bounds of
accepted sporting behavior that it becomes a
crime, as former major leaguer Jose Offerman
learned when he was charged with felony assault
for rushing the mound swinging a bat after
he was hit by a pitch in a minor league game.
So Stewart would not expect to be charged for
the car-on-car bump that sent Ward spinning
into the wall. But if, for example, he told police
that he saw Ward on the track and tried to show-
er him with dirt or otherwise send him a mes-
sage, a rst-degree manslaughter charge could
be a possibility, Yung said.
In a 1949 case that Yung uses in his class,
midget car racer Joseph Sostilio was found
guilty of manslaughter after he tried to squeeze a
four foot-wide vehicle through a two-foot open-
ing at 40 mph, crashing into another car and
Stewart still faces possible criminal charges
TODD NORRIS/CHATTANOOGA LOOKOUTS
OKoyea Dickson, who spent two years at College of San Mateo, has become a legitimate
prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.Dickson has become a middle-of-the-order
threat and is on the verge of setting a personal best in home runs for a season.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Chattanooga Lookouts have not lost
a game in August.
Riding a 10-game winning streak, the Los
Angeles Dodgers Double-A affiliate has
outscored its opponents 53-24. The driving
force has been the middle of the Lookouts
batting order, composed the teams home
run leader, outelder Scott Schebler, and of a
group of slugging inelders.
Anchoring the ineld at rst base is for-
mer College of San Mateo slugger OKoyea
Dickson. In his fourth season of profession-
al baseball, Dickson is establishing him-
self as a legitimate prospect. He is batting
.267 with 16 home runs, and currently ranks
third in the Southern League with 67 RBIs.
A 12th round draft pick out of Sonoma
State in 2011, Dickson has notched double-
digits in home runs in each pro season,
including an impressive 13 bombs in 138 at
bats at Rookie-class Ogden, Utah in 11.
With three weeks remaining in the regular
season and the Lookouts making a post-
season push in the North Division
Dickson is on track to eclipse his career
high of 17 homers, which he amassed at
Low-AGreat Lakes in 2012.
Current Lookouts manager Razor Shines
was also Dicksons skipper at Great Lakes,
and the two also worked together later that
offseason at Shines Austin, Texas home. In
that time, Shines has watched Dickson blos-
som into a legit middle-of-the-order run pro-
ducer.
Hes a better player now, Shines said.
Hes growing into a prospect a pretty
good prospect. Hes the kind of guy who has
bloomed late and the kind of kid you have to
keep your eye on.
On the heels of playing in the Southern
League All-Star Game, Dickson hit safely
through every game in the fourth week of
July, tabbing a .464 clip (13 for 28) with
two home runs and nine RBIs, earning

LOS ANGELES The Clippers moved on
from months of ugliness Tuesday, with
Steve Ballmer officially becoming the
teams new owner in a record $2 billion sale
that ousted Donald Sterling as the NBAs
longest-tenured owner.
Sterling bought the team in 1981 for $12
million and presided over decades of losing
seasons before engaging in a erce legal
battle with his estranged
wife to hold on to his
most prized asset.
The team said the sale
closed after a Los Angeles
court confirmed the
authority of Shelly
Sterling, on behalf of the
Sterling Family Trust, to
sell the franchise to the
former Microsoft CEO.
I hate losing the team, she said at a
news conference.
She later added, It feels good. It would
have felt good to own the team, too.
The NBA Board of Governors had previ-
ously approved the sale.
Really excited in a pretty hardcore
way to continue the path to making the
Clippers a better and better basketball team,
and a better and better citizen of the Los
Angeles community, Ballmer told the
Associated Press in a phone interview.
The bizarre drama began in April when a
recording surfaced of Donald Sterling scold-
ing his girlfriend for bringing black men to
Clippers games. The audio spurred the NBA
to ban Sterling for life and ne him $2.5
million.
Sterling was apologetic after the audio
recording went viral, but his mea culpa
backred when he criticized Lakers great

Cal womens volleyball head coach Rich
Feller is tasked with reinventing half his
starting lineup from a season ago.
Fortunately for the 15th year head coach,
he is retooling his new squad including
replacements for departed outside hitters
Adrienne Gehan and Michelle Neumayr
from the ninth best recruiting class in the
nation, according to PrepVolleyball.com.
Of the six players in the mix for the two
vacated outside hitter positions, former
Woodside star Christine Alftin is getting her
feet on the ground at Haas
Pavilion after joining the
team late into fall work-
outs.
Over the summer,
Alftin suffered a health
setback when she was
diagnosed with tonsilli-
tis in June during the
Junior Club National
Championships with her
club team Vision 18
Gold. Alftin underwent a tonsillectomy Aug.
1. As a result, she only joined Cal for her
rst practice Monday on the teams sixth
day of double days.
Shes doing great, Feller said.
[Monday] was her rst full day in the gym.
She started out a little bit shaky, but thats
to be expected. She hasnt touched a volley-
ball in a couple weeks. Shes coming
around fast. And I expect great things from
her. Shes the kind of coachs player you
want in your gym.
The Golden Bears have quite a depth of
competition at Alftins position, including
three fellow freshmen. Acause of the depth
is Cal currently carrying 19 players on ros-
ter. Its the largest roster in Cal history,
according to Feller. The team is also setting
a new precedent with three international
players on the team.
Antzela Dempi is one of the tallest fresh-
men in the mix. At 6-2, the Greek-born
Dempi was a late addition to the team with
the departure of Neumayr the former
Alftin trying to
crack Cals lineup

There are three constants throughout Nick
Vander Tuigs career.
From his prep career at Oakdale High
School, to his heyday at UCLA, and now as a
San Francisco Giants pitching prospect at
High-A afliate San Jose, Vander Tuig has
always been synonymous with elite pitching
staffs, championship-caliber baseball and
extraordinary perseverance.
Growing up in Oakdale, Vander Tuig grew up
watching his older brother Ryan play for San
Jose State at Municipal Stadium. Now, after an
outstanding amateur career which culminated
in a 2013 College World Series crown with the
Bruins, the right-handed pitcher has returned to
his old stomping grounds of Municipal
Stadium which he previously only ever knew
as a fan.
During the Bruins national championship
run, Vander Tuig experienced a June like no
other. It was during the 2013 Super Regional
against Cal State Fullerton when Vander Tuig
was drafted by the Giants the team for which
he grew up rooting as a sixth-round draft
pick.
The announcement came as a surprise to
Vander Tuig, who said he had little pre-draft
communication with the Giants. He said he
was expecting to be drafted by the Yankees, as
New York informed him entering into the sixth
round its intent to select him with the 194th
overall pick. The Giants trumped the Yankees
plans, however, by taking the college junior
192nd overall.
It was really cool, Vander Tuig said. But
my main focus was on the playoffs and getting
to the (College) World Series. But it was de-
nitely a surreal moment. Once we won it all, I
came home and celebrated then. So, it was real-
ly cool. It was a really exciting one month.
Since the outset of his professional career,
Vander Tuig has persevered through a roller-
coaster ride which has seen him serve six sep-
arate stints between four
different organizational
levels in just one years
time. And the right-hander
had seen entirely abysmal
results until recently.
In his pro debut last sea-
son, Vander Tuig started
ve games between the
Rookie-class Arizona
League, Short-Season
Salem-Kaizer and High-A
San Jose, totaling an inated 11.70 ERA. His
start to the 2014 campaign was no better, as he
made two starts over two months while bat-
tling an oblique strain at Low-AAugusta. In six
outings for the GreenJackets, four in relief, he
blew up an 11.17 ERA.
Its been frustrating, Vander Tuig said.
Then a surprising thing happened. After
bouncing between Augusta and rehab outings
in the Arizona League, Vander Tuig was pro-
moted to San Jose for the second straight year.
And thus far, he has been rock solid. Through
two starts, he has tabbed a 2-0 record with a
2.70 ERA.
I was a little surprised, Vander Tuig said of
the promotion. But I felt like I was denitely
ready to be there even if the numbers didnt
show.
Perseverance is old hat to Vander Tuig. As a
high school standout at Oakdale, the righty
posted an exceptional sophomore year as the
Mustangs No. 2 starter. Pitching behind jun-
ior ace Justin Jones who went on to front
the Cal pitching staff along with right-hander
Erik Johnson during the Golden Bears
Cinderella College World Series run of 2011
Vander Tuig posted a 5-1 record with a 1.15 in
2008, as Oakdale captured its rst of three con-
secutive Sac-Joaquin Section titles.
However, even though he again helped the
Mustangs reach the postseason in his junior
season of 2009, Vander Tuig saw his prep
career end on the precipice of the playoffs
when he blew out his elbow. In August of that
year, he underwent Tommy John surgery which
caused him to miss his entire senior season.
Effects from his rehab lasted into his fresh-
man season at UCLA, where he worked exclu-
sively in relief in 2010 behind the dynamic
starting rotation of Gerrit Cole and Trevor
Bauer, both of whom are now pitching in the
major leagues.
But it wasnt until after the departure of Cole
and Bauer that the Bruins reached the promised
land. In 2011, Vander Tuig persevered by
resuming a routine as a starting pitcher for the
rst time in three years, while UCLAadvanced
to Omaha only to be eliminated in the second
round. In 2013 though, the Bruins made their
way back to Omaha. And despite having the
least star-studded roster of Vander Tuigs colle-
giate career, UCLAcaptured the programs rst
ever national title with a championship-round
sweep of Mississippi State.
We just got hot at the right time, Vander
Tuig said. We didnt have the best record
going in but we stayed hot, and we really had
nothing to lose. We just really had a strong
team. Talent wise and hitting wise, we might
have not had the best numbers. We just really
knew how to play the game right.
Wednesday, Vander Tuig is slated to take on
the Dodgers phenom prospect Julio Urias at
Rancho Cucamonga. And just to clarify,
despite his three years at UCLA, Vander Tuig is,
and always has been, a Giants guy.
A lot of people think Im a Dodgers fan
because I went to UCLA down south, but I
stayed true and stayed with the Giants, Vander
Tuig said.
Vander Tuig is the second of four consecutive
California natives scheduled to start in rota-
tion this week for San Jose. Tuesday, St.
Marys alum Martin Agosta earned the win
with his best showing in 10 starts for the
minor-league Giants in a 6-4 win at Rancho
Cucamonga. Former USF ace Matt Lujan is
slated to pitch Thursday and former College of
San Mateo hurler Joe Biagini will go Friday in
Stockton.

Dodgers 4, Braves 2
ATLANTA Dan Haren
pitched six solid innings
and sparked the go-ahead
rally with a single, leading
the Los Angeles Dodgers
to another win over the
skidding Atlanta Braves,
4-2 on Tuesday night.
Haren (10-9) surren-
dered a fourth-inning
homer to B.J. Upton that
put the Braves up 2-1, but the light-hitting
pitcher came through with a one-out single
to right in the fth. Carl Crawford followed
with a double, and Haren scored the tying run
on Yasiel Puigs grounder to third.
Matt Kemp hit a little blooper to right that
just got over the glove of second baseman
Tommy La Stella, bringing home Crawford.
That was enough for the Dodgers.
Mike Minor (4-8) matched his longest
outing of the past month after being skipped
his previous turn in the rotation. The Atlanta
lefty went 6 2-3 innings, allowing eight
hits and all three Dodgers run.
Kenley Jansen earned his 33rd save.
The Braves lost for the 11th time in their
last 13 games, including two straight to
the Dodgers.
With Los Angeles up 1-0, Upton drove his
ninth homer of the season deep into left-
eld seats. It was his sixth career homer off
the Dodgers right-hander; Upton has no
more than three homers against anyone else.
Minor came into the game with a 5.42
ERA, having surrendered nine hits, two
homers and ve runs in his most recent start
Aug. 1, a 10-1 loss at San Diego.
Wednesday, Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin
Ryu (13-5) goes for his fth straight win.
Since July 13, he has allowed only seven
earned runs in 33 innings (1.91 ERA) while
limiting opposing hitters to a .198 average.
Braves right-hander Ervin Santana (11-6)
will also be looking to stretch his winning
streak to ve in a row.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Oakland
Athleticscombination of Jon Lester and Josh
Donaldson was too much for the Kansas City
Royals.
Lester pitched six strong innings and
Donaldson homered twice and drove in four
runs as the Athletics won 11-3 Tuesday night,
snapping the Royals eight-game winning
streak.
Lester (13-7) has won all three of his starts
since joining the As in a trade from Boston in
a deadline deal on July 31 that sent All-Star
outelder Yoenis Cespedes to the Red Sox.
Lester struck out nine and allowed three runs
on six hits and two walks.
The timing of the trade was bad for the
Royals, having to face Lester twice in 10
days.
Id rather face Cespedes four times in a
game than face Lester one game, Royals
manager Ned Yost said. Thats just me. Thats
not taking anything away from Cespedes. He
can beat you with one swing of the bat.
The Royals have won 11 of 13, with both
losses coming against Lester who
improved to 9-3 with a 1.84 ERAin 13 career
starts against Kansas City.
Donaldson homered in the seventh and
eighth off left-hander Bruce Chen for his third
multi-homer game of the season. He also
added an RBI double in the rst and a sacrice
y in the fth.
It helps when you have contributors up and
down the lineup, Donaldson said. We
believe that its going to happen more times
than not. We had some balls that were hit hard
for outs, and then we had a lot of balls that fell
in for us tonight.
Brandon Moss had four hits, matching his
career high, as the As nished with a season-
high 20 hits.
He looked like Wade Boggs up there, As
manager Bob Melvin said.
Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (8-10)
allowed six runs on 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Obviously, we would have loved to gone
out there and had a better performance from
myself and the pitchers to keep us in the
game, Guthrie said. We play 162 of these
and you take them for what its worth. They
strung together a bunch of hits and they had a
tough pitcher and won the game.
Salvador Perez and Lorenzo Cain doubled in
the Royals three-run fth.

Athl eti cs: SS Jed Lowrie has a fractured
right index nger, which was detected by a

SAN FRANCISCO Chris Sale
wasnt too upset that the White Sox
blew a two-run lead in the ninth
inning, costing the All-Star left-
hander a sure win. Hes kind of get-
ting used to it.
If anything, he seemed a bit giddy
after Gordon Beckhams game-win-
ning hit in the 10th inning.
Beckhams two-out RBI single
helped lift Chicago to a 3-2 win over
the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday
night.
Sale struck out 12 in eight solid
innings but left with his seventh no-
decision of the season.
Anytime you leave a game like
that you want to win but we ended up
winning, said Sale, who allowed
four hits over eight scoreless
innings. Its not who gets it, its
how we get it.
One batter after Jordan Danks was
thrown out trying to score from third
on a elders choice, Beckham hit an
0-1 pitch from San Francisco reliev-
er Santiago Casilla (1-2) past short-
stop Brandon Crawford into left
eld. Sierra, who entered the game as
a late defensive replacement, scored
easily.
Beckham had made two stellar
defensive plays including one in the
ninth before he bailed out the White
Sox bullpen with his only hit in ve
at-bats.
I guess I didnt give in and was
able to eke out that last hit, said
Beckham, who was hitting just .136
over his previous 30 games. Ill get
satisfaction out of anything posi-
tive after my last couple months.
Zach Putnam (4-2) pitched 1 1-3
innings for the win while Adam
Dunn hit a two-run home run in the
first for Chicago, which wasted
another strong start by Sale when
reliever Jake Petricka gave up four
hits in the ninth.

Sports brief
SPORTS 14
Burlingame star who informed she was
leaving the team in December after the com-
pletion of the 2013 season despite having
two years of eligibility remaining.
At that point, with Cals incoming class
tentatively set, Feller quickly looked to add
a player to replace Neumayr. The search
included a crop of several potential junior
college transfers. Then Dempi a duel cit-
izen of Greece and Albania emerged as the
most promising option.
[Dempi] just happened to contact us
shortly after that, and we followed through
and watched video, Feller said. [We] got to
know her and created an opportunity to
bring someone new into the outside hitter
position, and we just moved forward from
there.
Along with Dempi, the other outside hit-
ter candidates include freshman Ashten
Smith-Gooden, an All-American out of Los
Osos High School; walk-on freshman
Kristen Shekelle; redshirt sophomore Nikki
Gombar; and current defensive specialist
junior Sarah Cole.
In addition to the loss of Gehan and
Neumayr, Cal lost to graduation starting
setter Joan Caloiaro cousin of Olympic
beach volleyball great Kerri Walsh
Jennings.
Thats a pretty signicant group of play-
ers to replace, Feller said.
The math of losing three top players was
a big cause in Cal falling short of the top 25
poll as announced Monday by the American
Coaches Volleyball Association. Four
teams from the Pac-12 made the cut, includ-
ing No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 Washington and
No. 5 USC and No. 25 Arizona State. Cal
received 111 votes, 28th best in the nation.
I dont know theres a way to know after
the top 15 or 16 teams, Feller said. Im
OK with it. I hope we prove them wrong. I
hope we get a couple early-season wins
against any of those teams that might be
ranked and be able to jump in there early
enough in the season.
Following 13 games of non-conference
play to start the season including their
Aug. 29 opener in Colorado Springs, Co. in
the Air Force Tournament, and their home
opener Sept. 12 against University of the
Pacic in the Molten Classic the Bears
rst match with a current top 25 team is in
the Sept. 23 Pac-12 opener at Stanford.
It matters a lot more where we nish in
December than where we start in August,
Feller said. But, I think [the poll] was pret-
ty accurate.
By Josh Dubow
OXNARD The joint practice between the
Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys went just
about how the coaches scripted it Tuesday with
high intensity in an emotional environment.
Then things went a bit over the line when a
hard hit by Dallas cornerback Morris
Claiborne on Oakland tight end Mychal
Rivera led to a brawl that nearly spilled over
into the stands and featured a Raiders fan
swinging a helmet at a Cowboys player and
cornerback B.W. Webb retaliating with a
swing at the fan.
Its denitely a dangerous situation, Webb
said. I dont know why fans would want to
jump on this side of the fence. I dont think
theyd like it too much on this side.
But even that brawl and a smaller one on the
other eld involving Cowboys running back
J.C. Copeland and Raiders linebacker Justin
Cole couldnt mar the day.
I dont like the ghts. I want to come out
and practice football, Raiders coach Dennis
Allen said. We dont have any time for that,
and we certainly dont want to get anybody
injured in sticuffs. I thought both teams came
out and competed and got a lot of good work
in.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised the
enthusiasm and atmosphere of the practice that
was watched by 8,326 fans, many of whom
lined up early in the morning for the chance to
watch.
It was hard to believe that this was a prac-
tice, Jones said.
The practice was more physical than antici-
pated with players frequently being brought
down to the turf despite both coaches saying
before it started that they did not want any live
tackling.
But after nearly three weeks of practicing
against each other, the players were excited for
the chance to hit players in another jersey.
Thats how the rst brawl started. Claiborne
felt as if Rivera lowered his shoulder to try to
break a tackle so he responded by throwing
Rivera to the ground.
That raised the ire of Raiders receiver Greg
Little, who came ying in to protect his team-
mate, leading to the ght on the sideline in
front of a boisterous group of Raiders fans.
Players even ran over from the other eld to
get involved before everything was broken up.
When I came to the sideline, guys were still
talking about it and talking about how it
amped them up, Claiborne said. It should
have happened a little earlier in practice and
maybe we would have gotten a little more
noise out here.
This was a homecoming of sorts for the
Raiders, who held training camp at this exact
site from 1985-95.
Celebrities such as Magic Johnson and
Tommy Lasorda even came out for festivities.
The Raiders had many fans from their time in
Los Angeles on hand and ofcials were extra
careful to keep the two teams supporters on
opposite sides of the eld.
The Raiders fans seemed to outnumber the
Cowboys supporters and there were derogatory
chants from both sides and a chant from
Raiders fans of Bring them back! Bring them
back! in hopes of a possible return to Los
Angeles.
Its a reality check for all the new guys who
thought they knew what the Raider nation was
all about, Raiders fullback Marcel Reece said.
Theyd heard the stories and put on the jersey
one time for a preseason game, and its a reali-
ty check for them. They have no idea what it is,
and they come here to another teams training
camp and they out-show their fans.
The teams will hold another joint practice
on Wednesday.
NOTES: Raiders TE Nick Kasa injured his
left knee when he got tangled up with
Cowboys S Ryan Smith in a drill. Allen said
Kasa will have an MRI to determine how much
damage there is. ... Oakland owner Mark Davis
said he had no discussions with Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones about his recent visit to San
Antonio when he met with city ofcials. The
Raiders are in the nal year of their lease in
Oakland and are looking for a new stadium.

NFL PRESEASON GLANCE
By David Ginsburg
BALTIMORE Major League
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig
is looking forward to writing a
book, teaching history and taking
it easy when he retires this winter.
Before that happens, however,
he hopes to introduce his successor
perhaps as soon as Thursday.
Baseballs 30 owners will meet
in Baltimore this week to vote on
Seligs replacement. A seven-man
committee whittled down an
expansive list to three candidates:
MLB Chief Operating Ofcer Rob
Manfred; Boston Red Sox chair-
man Tom Werner and Tim Brosnan,
MLB Executive Vice President of
Business.
The process has worked just the
way I thought it would, Selig said
Tuesday at the Orioles home ball-
park. I gave them a great list of
names, and these names were on
it.
To win Thursdays vote, a candi-
date must receive approval from 23
owners.
Alot of other people are making
predictions, Selig said. Im stay-
ing out of that business because I
dont know.
Asked what would happen if there
is an impasse, Selig replied, This
seven-man committee has done
really good work. Well see what
happens.
This is what wont happen: Selig
changing his mind and sticking
around.
I thought long and hard before I
made my announcement in October
of last year, he said. I just cele-
brated my 80th birthday. In life,
theres a time to come but theres
also a time to go. Im looking for-
ward to that. I have a lot of things
planned.
Those plans include writing an
autobiography, teaching at two or
three universities and maybe a lit-
tle peace and quiet.
Its time for baseball to move
on and its time for me to move
on, he said. If anybody would
have told me back in September of
1992 Id be here 22 1/2, 23 years,
that would have not been conceiv-
able. So, Im done.
Before he leaves, Selig hopes to
see the feud between the Orioles
and Washington Nationals TV
rights resolved. Orioles owner
Peter Angelos owns MASN, which
televises Nationals games as a
result of an agreement when the
team moved from Montreal. The
Nationals want a larger share of the
prots, and MASN isnt willing to
fork it over.
MASN is an inner-club dispute,
Selig said. Its an important goal
before I step down. Weve tried
very hard, and well continue to try.
Were doing everything we can.
As far as Thursdays vote goes,
Selig has only one priority.
The only goal Ive really had all
along is, when its all over that
people can say, Well, it was really
fair, Selig said.
He was delighted to see that,
even though the sport doesnt have
a salary cap, small-market teams
such as Kansas City, Oakland and
Tampa Bay have ourished.
Selig eager to step aside
and introduce successor

Southern League Player of the Week honors for
the week of July 21-27.
I was denitely thankful for the honor, but
that was something that I dont really worry
about, Dickson said. Obviously, Im thank-
ful. But at the same time, I just continue to keep
getting better every day.
Dickson has gotten better, improving his
batting average 20 points since the All-Star
break. Aconsummate grinder at the plate, he
has been dubbed a hard worker by Shines, who
credits Dicksons work ethic as the secret to his
success.
When you work hard and you are a talent-
ed kid, those things start to show and eventual-
ly it comes out, Shines said. Not everybody
can be on a prospect list. But if youre not on a
prospect list and youre the type of player like
OKoyea you never know what can happen.
Dicksons defense is also a hot topic in
Chattanooga. Aone-time collegiate third base-
man, Dickson hit .332 in his career at CSM
from 2009 and 10 before transferring to
Sonoma State. Since going pro, he has served
mostly as a rst baseman, where he has played
almost exclusively this season. However,
there is an inclination to get Dickson some
reps in the outeld to increase his stock going
forward.
Right-handed pop is Dicksons most serious
tool, however. And in this respect, the slug-
ging San Francisco native has developed into a
legitimate bat in the Southern League ranks.
Im really pleased with his development on
the offensive side, Shines said. Now, he still
has to grow a little bit defensively. Hes gotten
better and better as the season has gone along.
But, were really proud of the development of
OKoyea Dickson.
DICKSON
bad role model for kids because he had HIV.
The 80-year-old real estate mogul was roundly
condemned from locker rooms to the Oval
Ofce, where President Barack Obama called
Sterlings remarks incredibly offensive
racist statements.
With the NBAthreatening to seize the team
and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife
of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but
then refused to sign the Ballmer deal. He said
he would sue the league instead and then
revoked the trust, which his lawyers said effec-
tively killed the deal.
Shelly Sterling removed Donald as a trustee
after doctors found he had symptoms of
Alzheimers disease.
Adam Streisand, Ballmers attorney, said
Tuesday that Superior Court Judge Michael
Levanas signed the order authorizing the sale
even if Donald Sterlings attorneys led an
appeal.
Pierce ODonnell, Shelly Sterlings attor-
ney, said at the news conference that Donald
Sterling had led a petition opposing the sale.
Theyre alleging the judge made errors,
ODonnell said. We believe its another des-
perate act. Were condent the court of appeals
will not take the case.
Streisand said even if Donald Sterling seeks
an emergency order directing the judge to
vacate his order, the attorney is condent an
appellate court would agree that Levanas made
the correct decision.
Donald Sterlings attorneys werent imme-
diately available to comment.
The sale ends some troubling concerns that
had surrounded the team in recent months.
Doc Rivers would possibly have quit as
coach if Sterling remained the owner, interim
CEO Richard Parsons had testied. All-Star
point guard Chris Paul, who also is president
of the Players Association, might have sat out
and convinced other players to join him.
Sponsors who already started to ee after the
Donald Sterling recording was released might
have stayed away for good.
None of that appears to be a problem with
Ballmer taking over what could be a power-
house team next season. By agreeing to the
record purchase price, hes already proven hes
willing to spend in contrast to the famously
frugal Sterling, long regarded as the worst
owner in the NBA.
The topic of conversation with Doc earlier
was to focus in on what does it take and how
can I help support him in achieving our mutu-
al mission and in a pretty intense way contin-
ue to improve, be tenacious, Ballmer said. If
we do all that, good things will come our
way.
CLIPPERS
sending it into the one driven by Stephen D.
Bishop. Bishops car ipped three times and he
was killed.
Sostilios conviction was upheld on appeal
by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
Noting that a violent or aggressive act on a
football eld or in a boxing ring is not neces-
sarily a crime, Justice Henry Tilton Lummus
wrote: In the present case physical contact was
not an essential part of the racing of automo-
biles.
That was a half-century ago, and racing has
changed. Trading paint is a part of the sport, and
its not even uncommon these days for racers to
leave their cars to confront rivals after a crash,
which Ward appeared to be doing when he was
killed.
In sports we tend to allow all sorts of conduct
wed never allow in another circumstance,
Yung said. But this isnt a collision. Its not in
that ballpark; its something you dont expect.
This is a more complicated scenario. Were
assuming Stewart didnt mean to do this, and yet
a death resulted.
Whether Stewarts actions were part of racing
depends on what the police investigation nds.
Unlike the cars Stewart drives on the NASCAR
circuit, the sprint cars have no radios or instru-
ment data recorders that could tell authorities
exactly what was happening when Stewart hit
Ward.
Video seems to show that Stewart shtailed
when hitting Ward with the rear tire, perhaps
indicating he was accelerating; Povero would
not say how Stewart described the accident, but
he said Monday he has reviewed two videos and
spoken to Stewart twice.
The worst thing that could happen for
Stewart is if his story doesnt seem to match
other evidence, Yung said. Because then it
might call into question his own story.
Poveros previous comments that he found no
criminal intent all but rules out the possibility
of a rst-degree murder charge, which would
essentially require a confession that Stewart was
trying to kill Ward. For second-degree murder,
prosecutors would need to prove Stewart was
reckless in combination with a depraved indif-
ference to human life.
Mr. Stewart has fully cooperated with the
police ofcers that are investigating, Povero
said in a news conference shortly after the race.
He was visibly shaken by this incident, and
has promised his continuing cooperation in
this investigation.

FOOD 17
By Sara Moulton
Labor Day, summers last hurrah, is a feast
day. And mostly Tell the truth! we tend
to overdo it. Ribs, steaks, burgers and hot
dogs? Check, check, check and check!
Vegetables and other light fare? Not so
much. The standard routine amounts to the
summer version of Thanksgiving, except that
after the meal everyone collapses onto the
lawn rather than a couch.
Allow me to propose an alternative a
dish thats simultaneously light and refresh-
ing and substantial: chicken paillard. Paillard
is a French culinary term referring to a piece
of meat pounded thin, then grilled or sauteed.
In this case, were going to marinate and grill
chicken breasts, then top them off with a
peach and arugula salad gloried with a full-fat
blue cheese dressing.
Where do you nd these skinny cuts of
chicken? Chances are you can pick up thin
chicken breast cutlets at the supermarket. Or
you can buy chicken breasts of average girth,
pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes, then
cut them horizontally into two thin cutlets.
Just be careful not to slip and cut your hand!
Whatever kind of breasts you start with,
youll need to pound the cutlets to the desired
thinness. And youll want to avoid shredding
them in the process, which happens some-
times.
Heres a little trick to avoid any shredding.
Sprinkle both sides of the cutlet with cold
water before putting it between two sheets of
plastic wrap (or in a zip-close plastic bag).
Then pound away, as planned, with a meat
pounder or a rolling pin. Youll notice that the
water cushions the meat, preventing it from
sticking to the plastic and shredding.
Next, its time to bathe the cutlets for an
hour in a simple marinade of olive oil,
lemon and garlic. Their thinness helps
them to soak up the avor fast. Grilling the
cutlets takes almost no time at all, about 1
minute per side. Let them rest for 5 minutes
and theyre good to go.
They also happen to be delicious at room
temperature an hour later, which gives you the
option of grilling up the chicken ahead of
time, thus cutting down the stress of cooking
while the party people are swarming the grill.
However you do it, remember to save the
juices from the plate on which the cutlets were
resting; youll want to drizzle in it onto the
chicken before topping it with the salad.
And the salad is a cinch sliced fresh sum-
mer peaches and baby arugula (or your
favorite greens) tossed with a blue cheese
dressing. Happily, a little bit of full-fat blue
cheese goes a long way. In this recipe, 1
ounce serves four people. Indeed, its so rich
that Ive combined it with low-fat mayon-
naise, Greek yogurt and a little bit of water to
thin it out. Toasted walnuts (a king among
nuts, health-wise) provide the nal touch.
See for yourself if this dish doesnt allow
you to kiss off the summer with abandon
without knocking you to your knees in the
process.

Khosla argues the Coastal Commission
and groups like the Surfrider Foundation,
which led a lawsuit alleging he violated
the states Coastal Act by failing to garner
mandated permits, are using the media and
courts to extort him into giving up his con-
stitutionally protected private property
rights.
With accusations of unwillingness to
communicate by the Coastal Commission
and Khosla floating in media opinion
pieces, it appears the case is far from being
resolved.
The commission seeks to use the legal
tactic of prescriptive rights by establishing
through public testimony provided in its
survey that the private property was utilized
as though it were public land for at least ve
years, said Sarah Christie, legislative direc-
tor for the Coastal Commission.
[The survey is] a critical component of
legal efforts to prove that public access was
historically available there. In terms of
establishing that as a fact in a court of law,
we need a more formal methodology for
proving that. And thats what the prescrip-
tive rights surveys are. Its basically a legal
underpinning for any future action the com-
mission might take, Christie said.
Khosla argues the property was never
freely open to the public as the previous
owners would charge an entry fee but, per
the states civil procedural code, prescrip-
tive rights can be used to establish a right to
public access, Christie said.
The commission prefers to negotiate
access and avoid the need for a drawn-out
legal battle, yet this survey could serve as
crucial evidence if a compromise cannot
be met, Christie said.
Weve gotten a really strong response
from people who are giving far more detail
and context than we could ever have antici-
pated. Some of the accounts are just really
touching and personal and beautiful actual-
l y. If you read them together, they go as far
back as the [1920s]. People writing them
are in their 70s, 80s and 90s, Christie said.
In the last two weeks, about 70 individu-
als have described their time at Martins
Beach, however, more input is needed,
Christie said.
Theres one person who sent photo-
copied pages in her diary, a menu of picnics
she prepared. People [had] their rst dates
with their spouses there and scattered their
grandparents ashes in the surf. People have
been shing there and surng there and cel-
ebrated high points in their lives there,
Christie said. People have really beautiful
memories of every decade for the last 100
years; really, its quite a little historical nar-
rative of that stretch of California.
The 27-question survey asks for a range of
information including when people would
pay a fee and whether it was for parking or
entry. The survey also seeks to establish a
timeline of when the gate to Martins Beach
road, the only access route to the beach, was
closed or changed.
In their defense against Surfriders claim
that he failed to earn permits before closing
the gate, Khoslas attorneys argue the pre-
vious property owners would close the
beach at their leisure. They also argue the
former owners sold Martins Beach because
it was no longer popular enough to make
money to cover costs and forcing Khosla to
reopen the beach would be equivalent to
forcing him to operate a business at a loss.
The strategy (of the commission and
Surfrider) seems to not be of public service
by a public agency but we will coerce with
bureaucratic delays to pressure property
owners to give up their rights, according
to a press release issued by Khoslas attor-
neys July 16.
Khoslas attorney Jeffrey Essner did not
return a request for comment.
Legislative action
If the commission votes to approve an
enforcement order and its upheld in court,
Khosla could face nearly $20 million in
nes. Christie said the commission has the
potential to avoid an enforcement action if
legislation authored by state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, regarding the property
is enacted.
Hill seeks to require that Khosla negotiate
with the State Lands Commission to reopen
the beach. If a compromise cannot be met
by Jan. 1, 2016, the state could use con-
demnation for a right-of-way easement to
create an access road off Highway 1.
Senate Bill 968 will be heard Thursday in
the Assembly Appropriations Committee
and needs nine out of 17 votes to pass
before heading to the Assembly floor,
according to Hills ofce.
Hill said he tried to negotiate with Khosla
via a 30- or 45-minute phone call, during
which Khosla said he was unsure what his
future plans are for the beach. Hill also said
he was unwilling to agree to open the beach
in perpetuity. In fairness, Hill said Khosla
indicated he may be willing to temporarily
open the beach, but wants his property
rights recognized so he could do so at his
will.
Rusty Areias, a former assemblyman and
coastal commissioner who was allegedly
hired by Khosla, has been lobbying against
SB 968 in Sacramento.
Mr. Areias is lobbying it hard and trying
to kill it at every opportunity I think
Khosla has the wealth to tie this up for years
in court and I think he thinks if he keeps
ghting it hell get the results he wants,
Hill said. I think he feels hes above it and
thats what my legislation will do, its to sit
down and have him try to negotiate for a
year. Thats all it does.
First-time request
San Mateo County Supervisor Carole
Groom, who serves on the Coastal
Commission, said this survey is the rst
time the state agency has publicly taken
action on the matter. Groom said she would-
nt provide an opinion of the case as she
could eventually be voting on it, but of-
cials need to proceed carefully.
For all of us who live in San Mateo
County, Martins Beach is a very special
place, Groom said. I think that we, all the
prospective decision-making bodies, have
got to get this right.
Christie agreed the commission contin-
ues to prefer to handle the matter amicably
and negotiate reopening the beach to the
public. However, it must prepare for poten-
tial litigation and requests those familiar
with Martins Beach assist.
The publics the only one that can do it.
We cant write the words for them. Were
totally dependent on the publics response
to this in order to make this case, Christie
said. To try and nd a mutually accepted
solution to restoring public access, thats
still our preferred option. But if we go to
court on this were going to be there for a
very long time. Were still absolutely open
to having those conversations but, in the
meantime, we need to start preparing for
other scenarios. We cant wait any longer.

Coconut water, maple water, even
birch and cactus waters. A quick
inventory of beverages in the pro-
duce section makes it clear
plant waters are rising.
Soda and non-fresh juice sales are
at or slipping slightly, but plant-
based products like coconut water
along with other alternative beverages
such as kombucha and
tea-based drinks are
growing, particularly
those sold alongside
your fruits and veggies,
according to data com-
piled by market research
rm Nielsen.
The one area of the store
where we are just seeing phe-
nomenal growth is the produce
department, says Sherry
Frey, health and wellness
expert for Nielsen.
Introduced several years
ago, coconut water has
been big for a while. Maple
water is a newer entry and is
essentially maple sap, the stuff
that normally is boiled down to
syrup. Brands include Vertical Water
and SEVA. And thats not the only tree
water on the market. Theres also birch
water and, on the plant side, cactus,
barley and artichoke waters.
Sales of all waters, including the new
products, fitness and enhanced
waters, as well as regular sparkling and
still, grew 4 percent by value and
nearly 7 percent by volume
since July 2013.
Coconut water is not yet being
tracked specifically, but
totals for beverages in the
produce department, which is
whe r e
much coconut water is sold,
showed double-digit growth. The value
jump for all produce section beverages
which includes smoothies, fresh
juices and teas as well as water was
nearly 13 percent.
Why the sudden thirst? Nutrition
expert and registered dietitian Tina
Ruggiero sees it as a trend driven by
the beverage industrys desire to nd
the next big thing, as well as con-
sumers interest in finding natural
alternatives to soda. This natural bev-
erage market just presents a tremen-
dous opportunity, she says.
There is a ght to create the
next best-selling natural
water.
All of the brands prom-
ise unique nutrition ben-
efits, but Ruggiero
advises clients to
read labels carefully,
beware of the hype
and watch for calorie
content. Chocolate
healthy waters may not
be any better for you than
some other sweetened
drink.
Plant waters are fine for
recreational athletes, i.e. peo-
ple who exercise less than 90 min-
utes a day, says Ruggiero. On the
other hand, youre also ne with good
old tap water which is much, much
cheaper and maybe a banana and/or
some salted pretzels.
Plant waters grow into hot
beverage market trend
Codfish numbers at
key fishery hits all-time low
PORTLAND, Maine The level of codsh spawning in
one of the most critical sheries in the Northeast U.S. is at
an all-time low, putting more pressure on a shery already
dealing with declining catch and dramatic quota cuts.
National Marine Fisheries Service scientists say the
amount of cod spawning in the Gulf of Maine is estimated to
be 3 to 4 percent of its target level. That number declined
from 13 to 18 percent three years ago.
Low levels of reproduction in the shery are holding
repopulation back, scientists say. They are investigating
what might be driving down the numbers of cod but believe
temperature change which they have also linked to a
declining Northern shrimp stock and northern migration of
herring may be one factor.
The Gulf of Maine, along with Georges Bank, is one of
two key areas where East Coast shermen search for cod, a
vital commercial sh in New England that appears in super-
markets and roadside sh-and-chip shops.
An updated assessment of the Gulf of Maine cod shows the
sh spawning at levels lower than seen in data stretching
back to the 1930s, scientists say. Records of cod catches
dating back to the 19th century indicate the population has
never dipped this low before, said Russ Brown, deputy sci-
ence and research director at the Northeast Fisheries Science
Center.

Busselle in June to coordinate hosting
meetings to gather feedback on ways
to alleviate the lack of facilities in the
district, with potential town halls,
focus groups, community forums,
attending pre-existing events and
other strategies. The rst community
meeting is Tuesday, Aug. 19 with
County Superintendent Anne
Campbells ofce.
Its important everyone has a say in
how we move forward, said school
board Trustee Ed Coady, who is on the
committee. Im really excited because
were going to have a chance to really
engage a lot of people across all sorts
of backgrounds. Its a great opportuni-
ty to bring the communities of San
Mateo and Foster City together.
Overcrowding remains a concern, as
each year approximately 250 more stu-
dents join the districts elementary and
middle schools. With this overcrowd-
ing, Coady said it will be really impor-
tant to try to provide all children with
a diverse student body thats similar to
the ethnic makeup of the state of
California.
The school district really must
make every effort to have the schools
mirror the same makeup, he said.
Were going to have to come to the
voters and say, we need your help as a
community. Were probably going to
have to build more schools or look for
ways to accommodate those students
without impacting equity. We want to
make sure as were accommodating the
growth, the resources in our district are
equitably balanced.
During a November 2013 $130 mil-
lion bond measure campaign,
Superintendent Cynthia Simms said
the district did not actively engage its
staff. The effort, Measure P, only
received 46.6 percent approval, short
of the 55 percent needed for passage.
The measure would have cost property
owners $19 per $100,000 assessed
property value. Its aim was to rebuild
and expand Bowditch Middle School to
add Foster City fifth-graders and
reopen Knolls Elementary School in
San Mateo for the 2016-17 school
year.
In terms of the upcoming meetings,
there will be a presentation to the
Montessori Task Force Aug. 20, the
leadership team of the district Sept. 4,
the Foster City Lions Club Sept. 9, the
San Mateo United Homeowners
Association Sept. 9, the San Mateo
City Managers Office Sept. 10,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, and the Foster City
Parks and Recreation Department.
Other meetings are planned this fall.
Meeting one on one, in small group
settings, and ultimately in town hall
forums, the committee and the
Peninsula Conict Resolution Center
hope to attract hundreds of stakehold-
ers, such as PTAs, teachers, parents,
newspapers, the No on P campaign,
city staff, unions, environmental
groups, chambers of commerce in San
Mateo and Foster City, church groups,
site councils, Realtors, senior citizens
and others. The committee intends to
ask for stakeholder input in guiding
the next steps the district should take
to address the school capacity and
equity challenge, according to the dis-
trict. Other engagement strategies the
group is looking at are phone surveys,
home visits, advertising, ice cream
socials, design thinking events, creat-
ing a website for Next Steps and other
methods.
Busselle is also developing a survey
of the public to gather information on
the impact of capacity and possible
solutions. The online Survey Monkey
questionnaire would include open-
ended questions about solutions.
Committee member Mark Hudak
expressed concern that the open-ended
questions could yield the district a ton
of information to sort through that
might not actually be useful. Coady
noted it could become a Herculean task
to sort through so many answers, so
cutting the questions down might
help. Other committee members, like
Trustee Audrey Ng, suggested limiting
word count on answers.
We could limit the characters like
on Twitter, she said.
The surveys are important to have
though, as last time the district went
out for a bond measure, people felt like
they did not have their voices heard,
she added.
On another note, the committee will
be lming a video that will be posted
on the districts website at the end of
August. The video will work to educate
the public about some of the impacts
of overcrowding, Coady said.
Not everyone has seen the impacts
of this growing enrollment, but every-
one has seen the new apartments and
high-density housing, he said. The
mission is to get people to realize just
how much of an impact thats making
to our schools.
Engagement meetings run through
October.
The Next Steps Advisory Committee
next meets 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25 in the
district ofce board room, 1170 Chess
Drive, Foster City.
NEXT STEPS
announcement of the investigations
end.
SamTrans acknowledged the inaccu-
racies when they were made aware and
has since taken improvement steps,
Ackemann said.
The changes include bolstering
stafng levels, implementing better
supervision and upgrading the
PeopleSoft software system, she said.
Ackemann declined further comment
on the allegations and investigation,
citing a pending federal lawsuit by one
of the employees who made them.
The District Attorneys Office
launched its look into SamTrans last
year after former employees David
Ramires and Ling La, both account-
ants, claimed funds were improperly
shifted into accounts for unauthorized
projects or expenses by management.
The pair alleged SamTrans purposely
overstated its expenses and liabilities
so that its bottom line looked worse,
thereby justifying asking taxpayers
for more money.
Serrato said audits by two separate
accounting rms whose costs were
borne by the district showed a differ-
ent reality.
The rst inquiry was by Maze and
Associates, the rm employed by the
district, and the second by MGO
Certied Public Accountants, an inde-
pendent agency with county govern-
ment expertise. La and Ramires refused
to speak with the Maze auditor which
limited its findings to mistaken
accounting entries. The second was
brought in because I wasnt comfort-
able we were getting to the bottom line
because Mazes assessment had to
include disclaimers that without speak-
ing to the parties it couldnt address all
the claims, Serrato said.
David Bullock, a partner with MGO,
spoke with both Ramires and La,
reviewed records and actually visited
the district ofce. He noted that the
vague and unsupported nature of some
of Ramires contentions made substan-
tiation of the claims impossible,
Serrato wrote in the Aug. 12 letter to
Miller.
Although there was no signs of crim-
inal activity, Bullock did nd account-
ing errors such as accruals between
2009 and 2013 not supported by docu-
mentation and accounts payable not
being property reversed at years end.
The unliquidated balances accumulat-
ed over those years were reversed by
the district in 2013 through a $2.5 mil-
lion journal entry.
The ndings corroborated Ramires
and Las claims about accounting irreg-
ularities but does not prove any of the
money was lost, embezzled or other-
wise unaccounted for, Serrato said.
Our perspective is looking for crim-
inal type of behavior. Were not look-
ing at it to say you could do a better job
with the accounting, Serrato said.
La has sued SamTrans, claiming the
agency retaliated against her for whis-
tle-blowing, her attorney Dow
Patten told Bay City News.
Patten said that while the
district attorneys investiga-
tion was sound, it suffered
from not being conducted by a
forensic accounting firm
familiar with criminal cases.
When you dont have full
access and you dont have a
forensic accountant, youre
not going to be able to track
down every expenditure and
nd out, where did this expen-
diture come from? Patten
said.
Patten said La was particu-
larly concerned that the
agency was not using proper
competitive bidding proce-
dures for contracts as legally
required. But the ndings of
accounting irregularities sup-
port Las claims, Patten said.
What we do know is, her
complaints have been justi-
ed, Patten said.
