BULLET TRAIN FOES SEEK STATE SUPREME COURT REVIEW
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The mayor of San Bruno commended the
California Public Utilities Commission
Tuesday for its unprecedented fine of $1.4
billion against PG&E for a deadly gas
pipeline explosion in 2010 but questioned
why $1 billion in fines will go to the
states general fund rather than for safety
improvements.
The new fines and
penalties bring the total
amount PG&E has been
ordered to pay in the wake
of the explosion
which killed eight people
and injured 66 others on
Sept. 9, 2010 to more
than $2 billion.
Two CPUC administra-
tive law judges ruled that
PG&E had committed near-
ly 3,800 violations of
state and federal laws and
regulations over several
years leading up to the
explosion.
The penalties announced Tuesday include
$950 million to be paid to Californias gen-
eral fund, $400 million in pipeline
improvements the cost of which cannot
be passed on to customers and another
$50 million to enhance pipeline safety,
including to hire CPUC independent audi-
tors to monitor PG&Es progress.
The CPUC had previously ruled that
PG&E shareholders must pay $635 million

Britain, France, Australia and New

King George VI said, With Gods
help, we shall prevail. The same day,
a German U-boat torpedoed and sank

It wasnt quite The Great Escape but four
inmates at the county jail tried breaking out
of their cells over the summer by crafting
four makeshift ropes and breaking an exteri-
or window, according to authorities.
Three of the four men Tyler
McLaughlin, 22, Edward Robert Segura, 25,
and Daniel John Zeisler, 31 were
arraigned in Superior Court and unsuccess-
fully asked to represent themselves. A
fourth, Tyler Aaron Ehrman, 22, is in state
prison serving time for the original crime
and has yet to be returned to San Mateo
County.
On July 23, Segura and Ehrman were in
one cell and Zeisler and McLaughlin in
another at Maguire Correctional Facility in
Redwood City. Prosecutors say they banged
their metal dinner trays inside the cells and
refused responding deputies attempts to
enter. Zeisler and McLaughlin reportedly
barricaded their cell using storage bins and
broke the window to the exterior of the
building.
When deputies got inside the cell, they
found four makeshift
ropes with a total length
of 145 feet, according to
the District Attorneys
Ofce.
The four men are
charged with attempted
escape, vandalism and
resisting an ofcer. After
having their request to
act as their own attorneys
denied, the men received
court-appointed lawyers.
They return to court Sept.
12 for a preliminary hear-
ing and remain in custody
on $100,000 bail on top
of any earlier bond.
Ehrman is currently
serving six years in
prison for robbing,
along with a co-defen-
dant, a San Mateo audio
store clerk of $1.
In May, McLaughlin was found incompe-
tent to stand trial on charges including rob-
bery, vandalism and receiving stolen prop-
erty. He was awaiting transport to Napa
State Hospital at the time
of the alleged escape
attempt.
Segura was in custody
on a probation violation
by picking up a new drug
conviction July 21, two
days before the alleged
escape attempt. Last
year, he pleaded no con-
test to assault with a
deadly weapon and grand
theft.
Zeisler was in custody
awaiting an October jury
trial for assault with a
deadly weapon and
resisting a police offi-
cer.
The new jail escape
charges could carry
between 16 months and
three years in custody, said Assistant
District Attorney Al Serrato.

Recently adopted kitten Theo has
his nine lives fully intact after receiv-
ing an emergency blood transfusion
from another cat at the Peninsula
Humane Society.
Now, Pearlie, the 1-and-a-half-year-
old female Calico who offered the
helping paw, is looking for her own
permanent family.
Pearlies hero tale began nearly three
weeks ago when the owners of Theo,
adopted Aug. 8, brought him back to
the Center of Compassion in
Burlingame because he was not eating
and seemed mentally altered. Soon
after, the kitten fell comatose and med-
ical staff determined he needed an
emergency blood transfusion because
something was destroying his blood
cells.
The staff turned to Pearlie who had
the same blood type and conducted the
transfusion Aug. 11. Pearlie was sedat-
ed during the hour-long procedure. The
kitten, who remained comatose during
the transfusion, steadily improved and
is now back with his owner.
Veterinary staff are condent Theo
would have died without the transfu-
sion, said PHS spokesman Scott
Delucchi.
The PHS veterinarian said animals
have needed transfusions there only a
handful of times. Delucchi wasnt sure
if Pearlies blood type was already on
le due to previous medical work or
was discovered while nding Theo a
match. Her age and overall health were
other factors for the choice, he said.
Delucchi said exactly what caused
Theos medical condition remains
unclear but he may have hemophilia.
Even so, Delucchi said the kitten can
have a good life and his human
guardian is very committed to him
and his health.
Now with Theo back in good shape,
PHS is eager to nd Pearlie her forever
home. She has been at PHS for about a
month and a half. Shes a little on the
shy side but has been sharing a room
with a few other cats and doing just
ne, Delucchi said.
Those interested can check out
Pearlie online and see her in person at
the Center of Compassion.

Center of Compassion is 1450 Rollins
Road, Burlingame. More info on all

California quake experiment could lose funding
PASO ROBLES Scientists seeking to put seismic sen-
sors deep in the San Andreas fault to study the mechanics of
earthquakes are in danger of losing their funding, a newspaper
reported.
The National Science Foundation has said it is no longer
soliciting proposals for experiments connected to the proj-
ect. But the agency says it will review its decision in the win-
ter, and scientists are trying to win back its support.
The project near the rural, unincorporated Monterey
County community of Parkeld, which is about 30 miles
northeast of Paso Robles, seeks to put the seismic sensors
about 2 miles in the ground and understand how an earthquake
starts and stops, whether there are signals before it occurs and
what controls its timing and strength. The roughly 800-mile
San Andreas fault is extremely active and has been blamed for
the 1906 quake that led to devastating res in San Francisco
and leveled much of the city and the 1989 Loma Prieta quake,
which also caused damage in San Francisco.
Scientists have already spent $25 million drilling one
borehole around Parkeld and have installed temporary
instrumentation. But they still need millions more to install
a permanent observatory in the ground and drill a second
hole, the Mercury News reported.
Recovery knocks 21 fish species from watch list
SAN FRANCISCO Conservationists, shermen and
chefs are celebrating the rebound of sh that had been a main-
stay of the West Coast shing industry.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium said Tuesday it has removed 21
species generally known as ground-sh from its Seafood
Watch list.
The list is meant to encourage food buyers to use only sh
species that are being harvested at sustainable levels.
The 21 species removed from the list typically wind up as
white-sh llets.
Jennifer Kemmerly of the aquarium says the reclassication
marks the turnaround of a shery that had been so depleted it
was declared an economic disaster in 2000 by the federal gov-
ernment.
She credits the cooperation of conservationists, scientists,
shermen and governments for the recovery.

Building self-esteem, while also
getting in shape is the idea behind
Arbor Bay Schools Mini Mermaid
Running Club.
Ten of the 18 girls in the San
Carlos school spent six weeks
training for the 5K, or 3.1-mile,
run in June. Not only did the girls
work out after school, but they
also went over curriculum aimed at
motivating and empowering the
girls. The program, with a curricu-
lum that comes from the national
and international nonprot Mini
Mermaid Running Club, will con-
tinue this year and was started by
Marisa Higgins, who has a daugh-
ter in the rst-grade.
Im just passionate about work-
ing with the girls about learning
about the love of sports and self
achievement, said Higgins, who
is also a triathlon coach. Ive
been getting a lot of good feed-
back from the parents. Its just an
amazing program they see the
difference in their child.
Children will go home talking
about the Mini Mermaids charac-
ters, the siren, the negative voice
girls have in their head, and the
mermaid, the positive inner
voice. The goal of the club, estab-
lished in 2009, is to help build
self-esteem, teach healthy eating
and living skills while giving
girls a chance to fall in love with
running, moving their bodies and
experiencing the satisfaction of
crossing a nish line, according
to the organizations website.
They (the girls) think about it
during class, Higgins said. One
of the dads told me how he loves
its an actual race. Its about help-
ing the girls believe in them-
selves.
Teachers, including Jen Levy,
have noticed differences in their
students from before the program
began.
One particular student strug-
gles with writing for language-
based learning issues, she said.
Some of the language use is about
the positive and negative voice.
She said chose to listen to the
mermaid in her so she was able to
do a good job on the writing
assignment.
The pre-K through eighth-grade
private nonprofit school serves
children with learning challenges
and currently has about 45 stu-
dents.
Many of our kids dont have
opportunities to participate in
community programs and may
have communication or move-
ment problems that make it hard
to be in more traditional tness
activities, said Director Susan
Rose. In early spring we held our
annual fundraiser and dedicated the
Fund-A-Need portion to expand-
ing our enrichment opportunities
in our weekly classroom groups.
The school is working on
expanding its athletic program-
ming in general. This year, the
new programming will include
Jessica Zander, a yoga and medita-
tion specialist and Blacktop
Sports, a tness and movement
program, in its weekly music spe-
cialist and speech and occupation-
al therapy groups.
Our focus is on increasing our
students self-awareness and gen-
eralizing these skills to improv-
ing coordination, self-regulation,
spatial awareness and self-esteem,
while having fun, Rose said. By
adding these specialists and hav-
ing them train our staff as they
work with our kids, we know that
the students will have the best of
all opportunities to gain skills
and condence.
In Mini Mermaids, the girls
practice twice a week for 90-
minute sessions and complete
journal entries at the end of each
time to work on self-expression.
The workout includes inchworms,
toe touches, jumping jacks and
then a run. The girls do scavenger
hunts and also play games like the
Screaming Fears game in which
girls sit in a circle and yell out
something they love or fear while
closing their eyes. Whoever
agrees will yell it out too after-

Asex registrant who unsuccessfully repre-
sented himself in trial against charges he
defrauded a 66-year-old Menlo Park woman
with whom he lived and jeopardized her life
by not purchasing her needed insulin was
sentenced to prison but avoided the poten-
tial life term he faced.
Judge Mark Forcum sentenced Darryl
Keith Phillips, 52, to a total of nine years
and four months in prison. As a third-strik-
er, Phillips faced a 25 years to life term but
Forcum struck two of the sexual assault pri-
ors based on how long ago they happened
1984 and the nonviolent nature of the
new convictions.
Forcum also ordered Phillips to repay his
victim in an amount to be determined and
imposed a 10-year no-contact order.
Ajury deliberated ve hours in May before
convicting Phillips of felony charges of
elder abuse and preparing false evidence and
a misdemeanor count of obstructing a police
ofcer in the performance of duty.
Phillips reportedly met the woman in
downtown Menlo Park
and she invited him to
move in. In August 2012,
her daughters grew con-
cerned he was denying her
medication for her severe
diabetes and high blood
pressure. Phillips report-
edly refused to let ofcers
and adult protective serv-
ice workers into the
home, claiming he had her power of attor-
ney, but authorities returned the following
day. Paramedics with them determined the
woman had life-threatening blood sugar and
blood pressure levels and that she was men-
tally impaired. The woman was hospital-
ized.
Police and adult services found that
Phillips allegedly had not bought insulin
for several months and forged her signatures
on loan documents for the amount of
$57,000 and $30,000 and to pen invest-
ment accounts in her name. At the time of
his arrest, Phillips was preparing docu-
ments to take out another $150,000 loan on
her home.

SACRAMENTO California is turning to
the White House in hopes of securing feder-
al aid for the Napa Valley earthquake.
In a letter to President Barack Obama
Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown asks him to
declare a major disaster to release federal
emergency funds. The governor also asked
Obama to issue an executive order, which
would speed up recovery efforts by provid-
ing additional aid to local agencies and non-
prot s.
Brown declared a state of emergency
shortly after the 6.0 mag-
nitude temblor on Aug.
24.
A preliminary assess-
ment says $87 million in
earthquake costs could be
eligible for federal reim-
bursement.
Brown said the eco-
nomic effects of the
earthquake will be exten-
sive due to the cost of repairing historic
buildings and critical infrastructure and
other hidden damages.

SACRAMENTO Opponents
of Californias $68 billion high-
speed rail project submitted an
appeal Tuesday to the state
Supreme Court, asking it to over-
turn a lower courts ruling that
allowed the project to proceed
despite questions about whether it
complies with promises made to
voters.
Central Valley residents argue in
their petition that the July 31 rul-
ing by the appellate court under-
cuts 100 years of legal precedent
requiring strict compliance with
the intent of the voters in imple-
menting a voter-approved bond
measure.
Proposition 1A, approved by
voters, promised that the state
would identify funding for the rst
useable segment of the rail line
and that it would have necessary
environmental clearances done
before starting construction.
The plaintiffs, Kings County
and landowners in the Central
Valley, successfully argued in
Sacramento County Superior
Court that the state failed on both
counts, identifying only $6 bil-
lion of the estimated $26 billion
needed for the rst 130-mile seg-
ment, and failing to secure suf-
cient environmental approvals.
In rulings that prevented the
sale of $8.6 billion in voter-
approved bonds and created ongo-
ing uncertainty about the project,
the judge ordered the state to draft
a new funding plan and seek more
environmental clearances.
In its ruling last month, the 3rd
District Court of Appeal acknowl-
edged legitimate legal concerns
about whether the high-speed rail
project the California High-Speed
Rail Authority seeks to build is
the project approved by the vot-
ers.
But the judges said plans are
still in ux and noted that on other
public-works projects, the
California Supreme Court has
allowed substantial deviation
between preliminary plans given
to voters and the eventual nal
project.
In the petition to the high court,
the plaintiffs note that the appel-
late court also said the state
Legislature had included strictures
in the ballot language that
amounted to a financial strait-
jacket.

Thirty teens escape from
Nashville detention center
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Thirty
teens overwhelmed their minders
at a juvenile detention center by
simultaneously breaking out of
four dormitories and then crawling
under a weak spot in a chain-link
fence. By Tuesday evening, seven
were still on the run.
Police caught up with some
walking along roads or coming out
of the woods. Some turned them-
selves in, including one at the
guard shack Tuesday evening. And
some were swiftly returned to the
detention center by their own fam-
ilies for their own good.
He broke loose, he was gone,
but hes back now, said LaWanda
Knowles, whose nephew joined
the escape. I just want to know
that hes here safely and hes OK
I dont want the police jumping on
him, nobody beating on him or
nothing.
The teens ages 14 to 19
left their rooms at the Woodland
Hills Youth Development Center at
about 11 p.m. Monday night and
gathered in common areas. With
just 16 unarmed adults to keep
watch over 78 youths in 12 dormi-
tories, the staff was over-
whelmed, said Tennessee
Department of Childrens Services
spokesman Rob Johnson.
Lawyer says family of girl
with Uzi is devastated
PHOENIX An attorney for the
parents of a 9-year-old girl who
accidentally killed an Arizona
shooting range instructor with an
Uzi said Tuesday the family is dev-
astated by the tragedy that occurred
on a brief excursion during a vaca-
tion.
The statement came as investi-
gators released police reports and
911 recordings involving the Aug.
25 shooting of instructor Charles
Vacca at the Last Stop range in
White Hills, about 60 miles south
of Las Vegas.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Millions
of students will sit down at comput-
ers this year to take new tests root-
ed in the Common Core standards
for math and reading, but policy-
makers in many states are having
buyers remorse.
The ght to repeal the standards
has heated up in Ohio, with state
Rep. Andy Thompson, a
Republican, saying its kind of
creepy the way this whole thing
landed in Ohio with all the things
prepackaged.
Its playing out in Louisiana,
where GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal is in
a nasty feud involving his former
ally, Education Superintendent
John White. Jindal has sued the
Obama administration, accusing
Washington of illegally manipulat-
ing federal grant money and regula-
tions to force states to adopt the
Common Core education standards.
The standards were scrapped this
year in Indiana and Oklahoma.
Governors in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Missouri have
signed legislation to reconsider the
standards, even though they still
will be used in those three states
this fall.

LOS ANGELES The founder of
a Los Angeles-based nonprot that
provides free music lessons to
low-income students from gang-
ridden neighborhoods began to
notice several years ago a hopeful
sign: Kids were graduating high
school and heading off to UCLA,
Tulane and other big universities.
Thats when Margaret Martin
asked how the children in the
Harmony Project were beating the
odds.
Researchers at Northwestern
University in Illinois believe that
the students music training played
a role in their educational achieve-
ment, helping as Martin noticed
90 percent of them graduate from
high school while 50 percent or
more didnt from those same
neighborhoods.
A two-year study of 44 children
in the program shows that the
training changes the brain in ways
that make it easier for youngsters
to process sounds, according to
results reported in Tuesdays edi-
tion of The Journal of
Neuroscience. That increased abil-
i t y, the researchers say, is linked
directly to improved skills in such
subjects as reading and speech.

WASHINGTON Confronted by
a Kremlin-backed military offen-
sive in Ukraine, President Barack
Obama and Western allies will
approve plans this week to posi-
tion at least 4,000 troops and mili-
tary equipment in Eastern Europe,
bolstering NATOs security com-
mitments to nervous member states
near the Russian border.
Ahead of a high-stakes NATO
summit that begins Thursday,
Obama will also make a symbolic
show of solidarity with Eastern
Europe when he visits Estonia for
meetings with Baltic leaders. He
was due to arrive in the Estonian
capital of Tallinn Wednesday morn-
ing.
Russias monthslong conflict
with Ukraine comes at a time when
members of the NATO defense
alliance have been cutting military
spending and reassessing the orga-
nizations role after years of peace
in Europe. While Ukraine is not
part of NATO, alliance members in
Eastern and Central Europe fear
they could be Russias next targets,
prompting the 28-nation bloc to
seek a more robust response.
The current situation shows that
the principle of collective territori-
al defense hasnt gone away - on
the contrary, Estonian President
Toomas Hendrik Ilves said Sunday,
marking the 20th anniversary of
the exit of the last Russian troops
from Estonian territory.
Ukrainian officials say their
countrys armed forces are now
locked in a conict with not only
Moscow-backed separatists, but
also the Russian army. Ofcials
said Tuesday that Russian military
forces had been spotted in two
major rebel-held cities in eastern
Ukraine, though that could not be
independently veried.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
has denied that his forces are invad-
ing Ukraine. A Kremlin aide
sharply criticized EU Commission
President Jose Manuel Barroso
Tuesday, accusing him of breaching
confidentiality when he quoted
Putin as saying that Moscow could
take over Kiev in two weeks if it
wished.
Yuri Ushakov, the Russian
leaders foreign policy adviser, told
reporters that Putins statement
was taken out of context and car-
ried a completely different mean-
ing.

MOGADISHU, Somalia U.S.
airstrikes in Somalia may have
killed the leader of the Islamic
extremist group al-Shabab, with
a militant commander saying
Tuesday that he was in a car that
was struck and that six people
died.
The leader, Ahmed Abdi
Godane, has no heir apparent. If
he has been killed, it would be a
significant blow to al-
Shababs organization and abil-
ities, said U.S. Navy Rear Adm.
John Ki rby, a Pent agon
spokesman, who confirmed the
strikes targeting Godane.
But Godanes death could also
lead the group to ditch its asso-
ciation with al-Qaida and align
itself with the Islamic State
group in Syria and Iraq, ana-
l yst s sai d. Al-Shabab gained
international notoriety a year
ago this month when it attacked
the upscale Westgate Mall in
Nairobi, Kenya, killing at least
67 people.
Godane was in one of two
vehicles hit by the U.S. mili-
tary strikes Monday night, said
Abu Mohammed, an al-Shabab
commander and spokesman. He
said six militants were killed,
but would not say if Godane was
among them. The two vehicles
were heading toward the coastal
town of Barawe, al-Shababs
main base, Mohammed told the
Associated Press.
The U.S. strikes hit Godane
after he left a meeting of the
groups top leaders, said a sen-
ior Somali intelligence off i-
cial. Intelligence indicated
Godane might have been killed

Small businesses need to stay
Editor,
As a small business owner, I whole-
heartedly agree with Mayor
Bronitskys support of small busi-
nesses. Having lived in Foster City
for several decades, I can recall Port
O Call, a full sized Marlin Cove and
Charter Square before talk of 95 hous-
ing units.
I only hope the movers and shakers
as well as the citizens of Foster City
are able to address quality of life and
trafc issues before more growth
takes place.

Outdated observations
Editor,
In regards to Dorothy Dimitres col-
umn Real Men? in the Aug. 27 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, I respectful-
ly disagree.
As with the video games that are
played all over the world, one must
distinguish the difference between
fantasy and reality. Unfortunately
these days, and this is where I agree
with Ms. Dimitre, those lines are
often blurred. Personally I dont feel
that if I have gorged a burger pro-
moted by a sensuously clad lady that
Im a real man. I feel satised and my
hunger is satiated. She states that
men used to be depicted as upstanding
citizens who took their roles serious-
l y. I wonder if she has ever watched
an episode of AMCs critically
acclaimed Mad Men. Aperiod piece
depicting the men of the 60s work-
ing on Madison Avenue as womaniz-
ing, cigarette smoking, disrespectful
booze swillers.
I think men on TV have grown up
and if anything become more tolerant
and for the most part mature. Of
course there will always be immaturi-
t y, by both sexes, but I had to laugh
at her outdated observations.

ISIS needs to be taken down
Editor,
Our president says he doesnt yet
have a strategy to deal with ISIS.
What is he waiting for? I understand
the hesitancy to get involved in
another war. Just because it was a
mistake to make war in Iraq, doesnt
mean its a mistake to destroy ISIS.
At the very least, we need a plan to
deal with this threat. It is complex
with no good choices. The ISIS ter-
rorists have captured U.N. peacekeep-
ers and the ghting between ISIS and
the Assad regime is nearing the border
with Israel. I doubt if Israels leaders
will sit back like our president and
wait for a strategy.
The United States should take the
lead. If we dont, then dont blame
Israel for taking action on her own.
For them, there is little difference
between Assad, Hezbollah and Iran on
one side and Al Qaida and ISIS on the
other. All are her enemies, but ISIS is
truly everyones enemy.
Obama tells Israel that he has her
back. So far he has sent mixed mes-
sages. This new crisis is an opportu-
nity to demonstrate true leadership in
the Middle East. So far he has done
nothing to show anything but weak-
ness and ignorance.

Its those chipmunks!
Editor,
We moved to El Granada a year ago,
to escape from the hectic doldrums of
the Bay Area for the peaceful unevent-
ful coastside. Little did we know.
Twice since weve lived here we lost
all communications with the outside
world (generally speaking, that land
mass to your back when you face the
ocean).
The rst time Comcast went dark
that fateful day last fall we thought
no problem, we can hobble along
with our cell service until all is put
right. We naively believed that hav-
ing a cellphone would be a backup if
there was a disruption in Comcast
which provides Internet, phone and
cable access on an exclusive basis
here. But no cellphone service
either. This was obviously a biblical
event and we started pumping up the
inatable ark. Come to nd out, as far
as we can determine, a chipmunk ate
through the ber optic line that was
shared by Verizon and Comcast. Two
of the most respected companies in
America. If you dont believe me, just
call customer service and you will see
what I mean, if you just hold long
enough.
The second time about six months
later was a completely different prob-
lem. As far as we can determine, a
chipmunk ate through the ber optic
line. But it was a different chipmunk.
Obviously, we have a chipmunk prob-
lem.

Letters to the editor
N
o amount of money will
make up for the loss of life,
property and the overall
well-being for those affected by the
2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion
and re, a $1.4 billion penalty issued
Tuesday against Pacic Gas and
Electric puts a monetary gure on the
loss.
Unfortunately, a signicant chunk
of that penalty will go directly to the
state rather than used for pipeline
safety. Of the $1.4 billion, $950 mil-
lion will go to the states coffers.
Last year, staff at the California
Public Utilities Commission had rec-
ommended a $2.25 billion ne that
would come from shareholders and not
rate payers. Tuesdays penalty is in
addition to a $635 million penalty
the CPUC issued previously. So the
utility is on the hook for a signicant
amount of penalties for the blast that
killed eight, injured dozens and
destroyed 38 homes.
Having the ne go toward safety
measures would make it tax deductible
for the utility, so the money going to
the state would be a larger hit.
However, the ne should not just be
punitive, though PG&E even admits it
deserves some penalty for the explo-
sion and re. The cause of the blast
was described as a litany of failures
by the utility, at least according to
the National Transportation Safety
Board when reviewing the incident.
Those failures were essentially a
wake-up call for additional safety
measures for the miles of gas pipeline
in the utilitys service area. While
PG&E has made improvements to its
gas delivery service, much more could
be done and using the entire amount
for that goal should be the point of
this action.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that a
tragedy that took place in San Bruno
never happens again. The entire
amount of the penalty should go
toward pipeline safety and not direct-
ly to the state. If that money nds its
way into the states general fund,
rather than specically earmarked for
safety testing and replacing and
upgrading gas transmission lines, it
is a total waste.
PG&E fine should go to pipeline improvements September song?
T
he days grow short when you reach
September ... the autumn weather turns leaves
to ame. Kurt Weill.
Its September already two days after Labor Day and
20 days before the autumnal equinox. It used to be the
month that schools started, but now most schools begin
their new term in August. But there are many other things
that September brings to mind.
So back to Labor Day. Seems in the United States, espe-
cially, we need to take this day seriously, since in this
country, many of the employed are working longer hours
and enjoying less vacation time. And, sadly, some people
who are laboring such long hours are working harder and
making less money.
Others, who lose good-pay-
ing jobs, can only nd new
jobs (often part time) that
barely provide enough
earnings to live on. Does it
mean anything any more
when the top 1 percent
enjoys lower tax rates than
whats left of the middle
class, when labor unions
have become practically
defunct, when economic
inequality is so rampant?
Yes, we need to honor
those who labor, but we
must also do something about what Joseph Stiglitz,
author of The Price of Inequality, described as the most
unequal society in advanced countries.
I always enjoy September because thats when my small
vegetable garden nally produces something useful. This
year just one beautiful pumpkin matured that I will display
on the front porch shelf to commemorate autumn and then
Halloween. The two squash plants deliver two or three din-
ner-sized zucchini a week. The green beans so far seem to
be mostly foliage and Im hoping that as September pro-
gresses, more beans will appear. I have been able to water
the veggies without feeling guilty because, sadly, almost
all of the 50 or so impatiens I planted in the spring have
withered away and died from the mysterious leaf mold that
is devastating them nationwide and apparently no one
knows what to do about it. It has been predicted that those
beautiful impatiens that have always bloomed gloriously
outside on the patio, will be no more. Lets hope that
something will be discovered that will cure the problem.
September is when the various classes at the San Bruno
Senior Center get rolling again from ceramics and
ukulele lessons to yoga, knitting, creative writing, ball-
room dance, etc. For instance, you can sign up for the
computer class for one-on-one help in learning all of the
ins and outs of your computer. If you are over 50, you can
attend the class by joining the computer club (for a fee)
and become eligible for the class that meets Monday and
Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Some of the special days in September we rarely hear
about. For instance, Sept. 7 is Grandparents Day, a very
special day, indeed. I wonder if Hallmark offers greeting
cards for this event so that our progeny can honor their
very deserving elders. Sept. 13 is Positive Thinking Day.
With so much depressing news these days, it might be
helpful to spend the entire day meditating on things that
give a lift to the spirit like Sept. 22, 1903, when the
ice cream cone was invented and Sept. 30, 1849, that gave
us the safety pin. What would we do without either one or
without Google that was incorporated on Sept. 4, 1998.
Do you remember that the U.S. Constitution was signed
on Sept. 17, 1787?
I have saved the most important for last. September is
Daily Journal Reader Appreciation Month. Of course, we
all know that this is the best newspaper around. It offers
everything we need to know thats going on in the world,
nationally and locally, and, among its many other fea-
tures, includes a great sports section, movie reviews and
even columns written by talented high school students. I
even found a recipe for a new way to prepare that zucchini
that I didnt notice under the leaves until it was over a foot
long. And, of course, dont forget those very interesting
and intriguing columnists, the often thought-evoking
other voices, guest perspectives and readers letters.
There probably arent many who appreciate this newspa-
per and its readers many of whom have been very sup-
portive more than I do. Im especially grateful for Jon,
our intrepid editor, who has put up with my opinions, etc.
for almost six years.
I havent forgotten that I have a birthday at the end of
this month not that I welcome birthdays any more. But
its an opportunity to enjoy my family when they gather
around and sing as I blow out numerous candles.
And, as the song goes, as the days dwindle down to a
precious few those precious days Ill spend with you.
Weill.

NEWYORK Concerns over weak-
er global growth appeared to overshad-
ow strong reports about the U.S. econ-
omy Tuesday, nudging the stock mar-
ket to a tiny loss.
Crude prices sank 3 percent, pulling
down stocks of oil producers. Small-
companies, which have fewer ties to
the world economy, made gains.
Meanwhile, the dollar reached a one-
year high against the euro.
Its the picture of U.S. strength
against the backdrop of global weak-
ness, said Jack Ablin, chief invest-
ment ofcer at BMO Private Bank in
Chicago.
The S&P 500 index slipped 1.09
point, less than 0.1 percent, to
2,002.28. The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 30.89 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 17,067.56.
Market gauges that give greater
weight to smaller companies fared bet-
ter. The Nasdaq rose 17.92 points, or
0.4 percent, to 4,598.19.
Two reports out Tuesday offered
encouraging signs of U.S. economic
growth. The Institute for Supply
Management, a trade group, said its
gauge of manufacturing reached 59 in
August, the highest level since March
2011, buoyed by new orders for goods
and increased production. Separately,
the Commerce Department said that
construction spending surged 1.8 per-
cent in July, the biggest increase in
more than 2 years.
Its clear we have a very solid eco-
nomic expansion, but the stock mar-
ket isnt buzzing much at all, said
Anastasia Amoroso, Global Market
Strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
The explanation, she said, is that
signs of solid growth raise the odds
that the Federal Reserve will move to
lift short-term interest rates. Rate
increases typically slow stock markets
down.
Were moving closer and closer to
higher rates, Amoroso said, so
strong economic momentum could
actually put a damper on the market.
Ahandful of key events and econom-
ic reports out later in the week could
make for volatile trading.
The European Central Bank meets
Thursday, amid expectations that the
bank will move to support the regions
agging economy. The U.S. employ-
ment report for August comes out
Friday. Stronger hiring by U.S. busi-
nesses and rising corporate profits
have helped push the S&P 500 index
up 8 percent this year.
Ablin said a stock market drop
caused by the Fed hiking rates would-
nt exactly be a bad thing. Waiting too
long could make the pain much worse.
I would rather take a spoonful of med-
icine today than a tourniquet later.
Major markets across Europe were
mixed. Germanys DAX inched up 0.3
percent, and both the CAC-40 in
France and Britains FTSE 100 ended
at.
The euro continued its summer slide,
hitting $1.313 against the U.S. cur-
rency. Recent reports have shown the
eurozones economy slowing to a
crawl, and that has weighed on the
euro.
The price of oil slumped, pulling
down shares of oil and gas companies.
Benchmark U.S. crude dropped $3.08
to close at $92.88 a barrel, its lowest
price since January. Brent crude, a
benchmark for international oils used
by many U.S. reneries, fell $2.45 to
end at $100.34. That was Brents low-
est closing price since May of 2013.
News that Norwegian Cruise Line
agreed to buy Prestige Cruises
International for $3 billion sent
Norwegian Cruise Lines stock up 11
percent. Analysts said the deal should
help Norwegian compete with its larg-
er rivals: Carnival Corp. and Royal
Caribbean Cruises. Norwegian Cruise
Line jumped $3.68 to $36.99.
Exelixis lost more than half its value
following news that the drug develop-
ers potential treatment for prostate
cancer fell short in late-stage research.
The companys stock plunged $2.29,
or 55 percent, to $1.85.
U.S. stock market ends slightly lower

WASHINGTON U.S. manufactur-
ing grew in August at the strongest
pace in more than three years as facto-
ries cranked out more goods and new
orders rose.
The Institute for Supply
Managements manufacturing index
rose to 59 from 57.1 in July, the ISM
said Tuesday. That was the highest
reading since March 2011. Any meas-
ure above 50 signals that manufactur-
ing is growing.
Tuesdays ISM report coincides with
other signs that manufacturing is help-
ing drive the U.S. economys
improvement. Factories are beneting
from strong demand for aircraft, furni-
ture, and steel and other metals. The
boost from manufacturing has helped
offset slower homebuilding, a slow-
down in consumer purchases and weak-
er spending on utilities and other serv-
ices.
The U.S. economy is on a notably
rmer growth track this summer, even
if consumers are riding in the
caboose, Sal Guatieri, an economist
at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a
research note.
The ISMs gauge of production rose
to the highest level in four years, and a
measure of new orders reached its high-
est point in 10 years. That suggests
that the sector should grow further in
coming months. Factories also added
jobs last month, though at a slightly
slower pace than in July.
U.S. manufacturers face some chal-
lenges overseas. A measure of export
orders rose, but comments from sever-
al respondents to ISMs survey said
turmoil in Ukraine and slower growth
in China were weighing on business.
AEuropean manufacturing index fell
to 50.7 in August, a 13-month low,
according to a report Monday. And two
surveys in China showed that manufac-
turing growth also slowed in August.
Bradley Holcomb, chair of the ISMs
manufacturing survey committee, said
a big jump in orders for aircraft report-
ed by Boeing in July could be feeding
through to its suppliers and boosting
the ISMs index of new orders.

Netflix unveils new way
to share recommendations
Netix is giving its Internet video subscribers a more
discreet way to recommend movies and TVshows to their
Facebook friends after realizing most people dont want
to share their viewing habits with large audiences. Until
now, Netix subscribers linking the service to their
Facebook accounts automatically disclosed everything
they were watching with a potentially wide-reaching
range of people. The company believes the open-ended
approach discouraged most Netix subscribers from con-
necting their accounts with their Facebook proles.
Googles corporate products division changes name
Google is hoping a new brand will help sell more of its
services to other companies. The decade-old division
responsible for corporate sales is now known as Google
for Work. It had been called Google Enterprise since the
Internet company began to redesign email and other con-
sumer products for business use.

DETROIT Big discounts. Six- or
seven-year loans, in some cases to
buyers who would have been turned
down in the past.
As the auto industry strives to sus-
tain its post-recession comeback, car
companies are resorting to tactics that
some experts warn will lead to trouble
down the road.
Vehicle discounts have risen 5.5 per-
cent from a year ago. More than a quar-
ter of new buyers are choosing to
lease, a historically high percentage.
Auto company lending arms are mak-
ing more loans to people with low
credit scores. The industry is adding
factory capacity. And the average price
of a car keeps rising, forcing some cus-
tomers to borrow for longer terms to
keep payments down.
Annual auto sales in the U.S. should
top 16 million for the rst time in
seven years. But the pent-up consumer
demand that has driven sales is
ebbing. Sales are predicted to grow 5.5
percent this year, the slowest pace
since the nancial crisis.

LOS ANGELES Apple said
Tuesday that hackers obtained nude
photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other
female celebrities by pilfering
images from individual accounts
rather than through a broader attack
on the companys services.
Meanwhile, numerous sharing sites
removed images of the stars apparent-
ly in response to copyright com-
plaints.
However, experts say there is no
way to fully scrub the photos from the
Internet and the images could keep
popping up in the future, forcing
celebrities to file repeated complaints
as they play a cyber-version of the
arcade game whack-a-mole.
Apple said its engineers have deter-
mined that hackers breached individ-
ual accounts and didnt obtain general
access to a pair of the companys
services iCloud and Find my
iPhone. The tech giant said it released
the results after conducting 40 hours
of investigation.
Law enforcement inquiries likely
will take days or weeks to complete.
The FBI offered no details on its
efforts to identify people responsible
for stealing the images that were
posted on image-sharing site
Imgur.com, the social networking
sites Reddit and Twitter, and other
websites. But the agency said Monday
it was aware of the breach and address-
ing the matter.
Similar investigations have
involved the use of search warrants
and digital forensics to determine how
hackers obtained everything from
Paris Hiltons contact list to nude
photos of actresses Scarlett
Johansson and Mila Kunis.
Lawrence, an Oscar winner for her
role in Silver Linings Playbook,
contacted authorities after the images
of her began appearing Sunday.
Apple: Some nude shots taken from stars accounts

The South City Warriors are looking for a
little more of the magic they found against
archrival El Camino last season. Well, maybe
a lot more.
On the verge of nishing the season on an
abysmal losing streak, Warriors free safety
Mauricio Mabutas made some magic.
With the Warriors leading 29-28 late in the
fourth quarter, Mabutas chased down Colts
star running back Brandon Gip on a sprint for
the end zone. Mabutas tackled Gip at the 2-
yard line. Then South City stood its ground
with a goal-line stand which culminated in a
missed El Camino eld goal in the waning
seconds to give the Warriors the win.
The victory not only saw South City take
home the coveted Bell trophy, it snapped a
seven-game losing streak. It also saw outgo-
ing head coach Frank Moro nish his 30-plus
coaching career at South City deservedly with
an emotional and wildly celebrated win.
This season, rst-year head coach Jay Oca
takes the reins for South City. Having
served as Moros offensive coordinator
from 2008-13, Oca is a signpost of South
Citys intentions to make a smooth transi-
tion into a new era. And with longtime

STANFORD Stanfords offensive line
was in the middle of a meeting during spring
practices earlier this year when a few large
visitors walked into the room.
Current NFLlinemen Jonathan Martin and
David Yankey and former team captain Sam
Schwartzstein popped in with a couple of
other past players to give a surprise history
lesson. They educated the new crop of
Cardinal linemen about the responsibility
they were inheriting and issued them a chal-
lenge.
They told us they laid so much ground
work for us, but we had the opportunity to
take that to the next step,
to keep progressing, to
keep it moving forward,
redshirt sophomore cen-
ter Graham Shuler said.
While most offensive
lines toil in anonymity,
Stanfords has gained
national attention during
the programs recent run
of success, which
includes winning the past two Pac-12 titles.
The unit, dubbed the Tunnel Workers Union,
has been the bulldozer in front of a power
running game and the anchor behind a pro-
style passing attack.
With four new starters next to one of the
countrys top left tackles in Andrus Peat, the
unit is in the early stages of another recon-
struction. The new-look line will face its
rst major test Saturday when the 13th-
ranked Cardinal (1-0) host Leonard
Williams and No. 14 Southern California
(1-0) in a much-anticipated Pac-12 tilt.
The challenge this week is prominent,
said Stanford coach David Shaw, who has
remained steadfast in his belief that the
offensive line will continue to meet its high
standard this season.
Shaw said on Signing Day in February
2012 that his ve current starters Peat,
left guard Joshua Garnett, Shuler, right
guard Johnny Caspers and right tackle Kyle
Murphy had the potential to be one of
the best offensive line classes in modern
football history. He has stuck by that
statement since, saying during training
camp that the O-line could be as good or bet-
ter than any he had during his rst three
years as coach.
But the group had its share of struggles in
the opener, including a false start, holding
and clipping penalties in the rst half of a
45-0 rout of an overmatched UC Davis team.
Kevin Hogan also was sacked once.
Nowhere near our best, Peat said.
Peat and his fellow offensive linemen
attribute most of the problems to communi-
cation. Its an issue that will need to be

Cherokees aim for

Since taking over the Sequoia football pro-
gram in 2008, coach Rob Poulos has steadily
and consistently transformed the Cherokees
from one of the worst teams in the Peninsula
Athletic League into a team that is now among
the best as he pulled the program up into the
PALs top division the Bay Division.
Now, Poulos and the Cherokees want to take
the next step: competing for the Bay Division
title. They got their rst taste of Bay Division
play and it was bitter. Sequoia lost its rst four
games in league play last season.
Our big issue is getting the consistency
you need to be successful in the Bay, Poulos
said. When you look at the other programs
we play (in the Bay), thats the thing that
stands out. When you make mistakes, they
immediately take advantage right away.
A number of guys (on this years team)
played last year. They got to directly experi-
ence what were talking about. For them, it
was very important to not have that happen
again.
With a number of key returners, along with
plenty of experience, Poulos is hoping this is
the season that consistency comes to fruition.

Big Blue is turning silver this season, as
South City football celebrates the 25th
anniversary of its last Central Coast Section
championship.
The 1989 season of destiny has since been
enshrined in South Citys athletics building,
with the retired jerseys of running back Dave
Hanson and wide receiver Mike Johnston
hanging over the doorway of the main coach-
es office. The two were integral to the
Warriors posting an 11-0 record en route to a
CCS Division II North County champi-
onship under head coach Mike Tenerowicz.
Hanson cemented his legacy with a senior
season for the ages. One of the greatest run-
ning backs in Peninsula history, Hanson
captured North Peninsula League Player of
the Year honors in addition to being named to
the All-California Division II team. He ran
for exactly 1,200 yards while scoring 38
touchdowns, including two fourth-quarter
scores in a dramatic NPL seminal win over
Aragon. In fact, Hansons scoring total set a
San Mateo County record, and ranked second
in California that season only to Lompoc
High School junior Napoleon Kaufmans 39
touchdowns amassed over 13 games.
Johnston who would go on to be named
NPL Player of the Year the following season
also earned All-California Division II hon-
ors. The junior receiver totaled 922 receiving
yards in 1989, including a key tone-setting
touchdown catch in the season nale against
Half Moon Bay in a battle of unbeatens to set-
tle the NPLNorth Division title.
With quarterback Francisco Sotelo at the
helm and an intimidating offensive line which
has long since become a signature trait of
South City teams, the Warriors walked onto
the gridiron with a swagger in its season
opener with Hillsdale and never let up.
Building up to the 1989 team, I think the
expectations were off the charts, Johnston
said. I think early on, we knew what kind of
team that we had. With all that experience
coming back, the amount of points we were
putting up and the defensive players we had on
the team, you had that feeling.
South City went on to strong-arm the NPL
through regular-season play, outscoring its
opponents 417-42 through nine games. That
included shutouts of Galileo, Westmoor and
Jefferson. The closest margin of victory was
22 points, with a 28-6 victory over St.
Ignatius in Week 2.
You would go into games knowing that
you were going to win, Johnston said. I
think at that time, as a group of players, you
just looked around that locker room and there
was just something different about that
group. Going into a game, I think we knew
how to take care of our business and knew
exactly what was going to happen in partic-
ular games.
Even in the regular-season nale against
Half Moon Bay for the league title, South
City posted a convincing 32-7 win. The
Warriors showcased their depth from the get-
go in front of a sellout crowd at Half Moon
Bay. With the Cougars defense keying on
Hanson out of the backeld, Sotelo ran a
play-action to perfection with a quick pass to
Johnston, who sprinted 50-plus yards for a
touchdown on the games rst play from
scrimmage.
We started that game off right, Johnston
said.
As a team, the Warriors personality reect-
ed that of Tenerowicz, a veteran head coach
who entered the season with one previous
NPL crown in 1980. While Hanson and
Johnston would both go on to play colle-
giately Johnston played four years at
Brigham Young while Hanson transferred
from a prolic career at College of San Mateo
to Sonoma State their years playing for
Tenerowicz served as quite the college primer.
(Tenerowicz was) cool, calm and collected
very methodical in his approach,
Hanson said. He was a very laid-back coach.
He gave you a lot of freedom to do what you
wanted, but at the same time he was very dis-
ciplined. He was more like a college coach
than a high school coach, to be honest.
Tenerowiczs cool was tested in South
Citys playoff opener. But the Warriors pre-
vailed over Aragon with an unthinkable
fourth-quarter comeback for the ages.
Trailing by a touchdown with just under six
minutes remaining in the game, and Aragon
driving down the eld, South City caught a
season-altering swing of momentum with a
fumble recovery. Then the Warriors powered
for two unanswered touchdowns in the clos-
ing minutes to prevail 30-22.
The game was not the rst time South City
had to play from behind all season. According
to Hanson, as a result of the consistent
blowouts, it was the rst time the rst-string
starters played wire-to-wire all year.
In a Thanksgiving Day championship-
game matchup against Carlmont, the
Warriors went right back to marching up and
down the eld at will. South City scored a 31-
12 victory to claim the programs second
CCS championship. And with Frank Moro
serving as defensive coordinator Moro
went on to serve as South Citys head coach
for 12 years, until stepping down after the
2013 season to make way for new head coach
Jay Oca the Warriors defense saved its
best performance of the season for last,
according to Johnston.
Our defense played probably one of their
best games, Johnston said. And that game
wasnt close either. That game was pretty
much over by the middle of the rst quarter.
As fate would have it, Johnston and
Hanson now each serve as high school varsi-
ty assistant coaches.
Johnston relocated to Chandler, Arizona,
where in 1998 he took a position with the
rst-year program at Hamilton High School.
He is a proven winner Johnston has been
a part of one winning team after another
since his Little League baseball days when
his 10-and-under PAL Sergeants won the
South City Pee-Wee championship in 1983
but he has seen his greatest success at
Hamilton. Since the programs inception,
the Huskies have posted a 194-20 record and
have celebrated seven Arizona state champi-
onships.
Hanson is entering his third season as the
running backs coach at Hillsdale. Prior to
entering the coaching ranks, Hanson played
15 years of semi-pro football and Minor
League Football. After graduating from
Sonoma State, he signed with the North Bay
Rattlers and went on to play for myriad teams
as a running back before converting to line-
backer in the nal three years of his playing
career. Prior to his retirement in 2009,
Hanson was named to the inaugural class of
inductees into the Minor League Football
Hall of Fame.
And as an avid fan football since his child-
hood, Hanson prides himself on having
played with one of the greatest teams in the
history of the Peninsula with the 1989 South
City Warriors.
I was a fan of Peninsula football when I
was in Pop Warner. Thats when I started
going to high school football games,
Hanson said. So, I think we were one of the
top ve, top 10 teams in the history of the
Peninsula.
In addition to South City, several other San
Mateo County teams celebrate landmark CCS
championship anniversaries this season.
Twenty years ago, Aragon posted a 13-0
record en route to winning the CCS Division
III crown; and 10 years ago, Woodside cap-
tured the CCS Medium School Division title,
also with a perfect 13-0 record.

as well, the Warriors certainly seem intent on
returning to the mountain top, as they did
with a 2012 Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division championship.
Our belief is were going to win champi-
onships through our defense, Oca said. And
thats our goal, is that we can live up to the per-
ception that everybody has of our defense
aggressive and fast.
The Warriors defense is built around a pair of
promising linemen in senior defensive tackle
Lo Malepeai and junior end Tavai Tuitasi.
Our defensive line is very, very tough, Oca
said. They get off the football really aggres-
sive. Theyre fast. They have good technique.
And theyre just animals.
With expectations riding high last season,
Malepeai injured his knee and missed a major-
ity of the season. The injury is entirely behind
him now though, according to Oca.
Running a base 4-3 and 4-4 defense, the
corps of linebackers is build around returning
senior Cesar Torres and newcomers junior Peter
Lopez and sophomore Alejandro Palomino.
And, oh yeah, the magic of Mabutas is return-
ing to the secondary for his senior season.
Hopefully he continues that magic against
[El Camino], Oca said.
On the other side of the ball, Oca will con-
tinue to call the plays out of the y offense.
I love the y offense, he said. I have faith
in it. Its taken a lot of teams pretty far and I
think were successful in it. We have the ath-
letes that are able to run the y. And we have
the coaches that understand the concept.
Senior quarterback Alex Benavides is slated
to take over the rst-string job after serving as
backup to graduated Maligi Maluia last season.
With the Warriors reeling in the upper PALBay
Division amid a winless league season in
2013, Benavides was given a start in the
penultimate week of Bay Division play
against Menlo. According to Oca, Benavides
suffered a shoulder injury in pregame warm-ups
but still managed to play three quarters.
It wasnt until after the game the quarterback
was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone of
the non-throwing shoulder.
Hes just a football player, Oca said. He
gives us everything he has. Hes able to exe-
cute our offensive plays and run our offense to
a T. The kids respond to him and they follow
him, and thats kind of what you need as a
leader.
The burgeoning offensive superstar, howev-
er, looks to be senior left tackle Terrell
Townsend, as the 6-4, 240-pound team captain
enters his third year on varsity. He played
guard the previous two seasons, but has
slimmed down and is looking to widen the
wing to allow South Citys patented mix of
running backs to effectively maneuver.
Hes actually gotten leaner, Oca said. Hes
gotten a little more athletic. Hes gotten faster
and more explosive than last year. So, moving
him out there gives us a chance to do more of
our plays to the outside.
Second-year varsity running back Torres
will carry a lot of the load in a run-intensive
attack. Lopez and Kolton Pua one of Kolone
Puas ve children are also expected to gets
plenty of reps out of the backeld.
[Kolone Pua] has two sons on varsity and
one on J.V., Oca said. So, this is a family
affair. He has four boys and one girl, and shes
probably going to be our cheerleader when she
gets over here.
With South City returning to the PAL
Ocean Division this season, its biggest
challenge may be getting its home Clifford
Field up and running for its Oct. 12 home
opener against Capuchino. With monies
allotted by the South San Francisco Unied
School District to resurface the football
elds at El Camino and South City, the lat-
ter began undergoing the metamorphosis
from natural grass to articial turf immedi-
ately following last season.
The remodel is expected to be ongoing even
after the Oct. 12 deadline. However, Oca said
the eld is expected to be playable by then,
and the school will rent portable light stan-
dards to ensure the game be played at night.
We want to make it a night game for the
nostalgia, Oca said.
If construction is not completed by Oct. 12,
the game will likely be relocated to Capuchino
as a day game, according to Oca.
Im pretty optimistic [the home opener] is
going to happen, Oca said.

South City Warriors
By Pat Graham
DENVER Buster Posey is rounding into
form, looking more and more like the 2012
version of the player who won the NLMVP.
Couldnt have picked a better time, too, with
the postseason on the horizon.
Posey homered, doubled twice and drove in
four runs, rallying the San Francisco Giants
past the Colorado Rockies 12-7 on Tuesday
night for their seventh win in eight games.
His solo homer in the sixth keyed a three-run
burst as the Giants raced back from a 7-1 decit
to remain on the heels of the Los Angeles
Dodgers in the NLWest. He hit a two-run dou-
ble in a six-run seventh.
Poseys prodigious night pushed his average
over .300 for the rst time since May.
Hes on re right now and looking really
good, winning pitcher George Kontos said.
Buster is a guy if something is not going
right for him for a week or two or however long
it is, hes a guy whos going to come out of it.
Hes going to get in his groove and do what
were all accustomed to seeing him do.
Kontos (4-0) kept the
Giants in striking distance
with 1 2-3 scoreless
innings. Manager Bruce
Bochy called that one of
the turning points of the
game.
As I was getting to the
mound, Boch handed me
the ball and he goes, Hold
us here and well get you a
win, Kontos recounted. He came inside and
said, I told you! I told you! Its crazy how
quickly things can turn by putting up a couple
of zeroes.
Especially at Coors Field, where anything
can happen and no lead is safe.
Thats the beauty of this park. Its easier to
come back here than anywhere else, Bochy
said. Guys did a great job of not getting
down.
Once the Giants got rolling, the Rockies
couldnt cool them off, as starter Jordan Lyles
allowed six runs in 6 1-3 innings before giv-
ing way to reliever Matt Belisle (4-7), who sur-
rendered another four before being pulled after
getting just one out.
Down six runs in the sixth,
the Giants began to climb back
into the game with Poseys
19th homer of the season and
later a two-run shot from
Andrew Susac.
A seventh inning that featured ve extra-
base hits began with pinch-hitter Matt Duffy
grounding out. San Francisco had a two-run
double by Posey, an RBI single from Hunter
Pence, a run-scoring double by Gregor Blanco
that gave the Giants the lead, an RBI double
from Susac and a run-scoring triple from
Brandon Crawford.
The inning ended with Duffy striking out.
Pence had two hits to extend his hitting
streak to 15 games for the Giants.
Josh Rutledge had a two-run triple in the
third and DJ LeMahieu followed a two-run
homer for the Rockies, who blew their biggest
lead of the season.
Its a bad loss, Rockies manager Walt
Weiss said. Two different games, really. It
wasnt pretty.
Jordan was throwing the ball really well. I
was trying to squeeze another inning out of
him. But I think he went about as long as he
could. I think he was starting to tire.
Yusmeiro Petit was hit hard, allowing six
runs in four innings but was let off the hook
with a no-decision by his teams
comeback.Just the way things have been
going for the Giants.
This is the time of year thats fun, because
you can see the playoffs on the horizon,
Posey said. Really, thats the focus, just com-
ing out and trying to win each day.
Posey leads furious Giants comeback

Buster Posey
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND James Paxton pounded
the strike zone to induce groundballs,
and his defense dazzled behind him.
Paxton carried a shutout into the
eighth inning and the Seattle Mariners
held off a late rally by Oakland for a 6-
5 win Tuesday night, handing the
Athletics their fth loss in six games.
"This young man's got greatness
written all over him, he's just got to
stay healthy," manager Lloyd
McClendon said. "I thought it was a
dominant performance."
Paxton (5-1) gave up three hits
through the seventh. Ahead 6-0, he
was chased in Oakland's three-run
eighth, and the A's nearly got even in
a harried ninth.
Seattle closer Fernando Rodney took
over with a 6-3 lead and retired the rst
two batters. He then gave up consecu-
tive doubles to Derek Norris and pinch-
hitters Brandon Moss and Sam Fuld
before retiring
Josh Reddick on a
grounder for his
40th save.
The A's
remained 4 1/2
games back of the
rst-place Angels,
who lost at
Houston. Seattle
is third in the AL
wild-card standings.
Oakland didn't seem too concerned
afterward.
"No matter what inning you score in,
it was a one-run game. We're one swing
of the bat away from winning it,"
Norris said. "They didn't score for
seven innings either. That's why you
play all nine innings."
The rubber game Wednesday after-
noon between the division rivals and
playoff contenders has the makings of
quite a pitcher's duel. In a matchup of
13-game winners, Seattle ace Felix
Hernandez faces Jon Lester.

NL GLANCE AL GLANCE
By Howard Fendrich
NEWYORK Gael Monls fol-
lows his own rules.
The guy does things on a tennis
court no one else has or can.
Just search his name on YouTube
and watch any of many video clips
showcasing his speed and agility;
start with the parallel-to-the-
ground, a-few-feet-in-the-air dive
at this years French Open.
He sips soda during breaks in his
matches, raising the can in a toast
to his agent.
He is currently without any
coach at all, in an era when some
players have two.
What Monls has never done,
despite all his talent and in
some cases, because he has
appeared to value style over sub-
stance right there on court, in the
middle of a point, preferring the
spectacular to the sufcient is
reach a Grand Slam nal. He took a
step closer Tuesday at the U.S.
Open during a surprisingly matter-
of-fact 7-5, 7-6 (6), 7-5 victory in
the fourth round over No. 7-seeded
Grigor Dimitrov, a man considered
one of the sports up-and-comers.
There is a narrative building
around the 20th-seeded Monls
success so far this year at Flushing
Meadows, where he hasnt dropped
a set en route to reaching the quar-
ternals for the rst time since
2010: He has matured, is playing
more carefully, more seriously.
The Frenchman, who will face
Roger Federer for a spot in the
semifinals, rejected that notion
after Tuesdays win.
Im the same. So I will say Im a
bit more lucky than I was maybe
sometime in the past. I think I
havent changed a lot, to be hon-
est. I havent changed a lot,
Monls said. I just play maybe
solid today, but Im still the same.
As if to prove that, there was the
unusual sequence in the second set.
Trailing 40-love as Dimitrov
served, Monfils stood halfway
between the baseline and the serv-
ice line to receive, and then casual-
ly and halfheartedly flicked a
return long to lose the game. He
walked to the changeover to a cho-
rus of boos from the spectators in
Arthur Ashe Stadium, plopped
down for the break, chucked a
towel at the adjacent chair and
started barking something toward
his guest box in the stands.
Asked about that afterward,
Monls said he was angry at him-
self at that moment and just want-
ed to get that game over with.
I was like, Just serve, because
obviously I give you the game. So
its OK, he said. Its nothing
against anyone. I was upset.
Monlslone Grand Slam seminal
appearance came at the 2008 French
Open, when he lost to Federer, part of
a 2-7 career mark against the 17-time
major champion.
Federer advanced to the U.S.
Open quarterfinals for the 10th
time in 11 years by eliminating
17th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut
6-4, 6-3, 6-2 Tuesday night.
Federer won the point on 35 of 52
trips to the net.
The other quarternal matchup
on that half of the draw will be No.
6 Tomas Berdych against No. 14
Marin Cilic. Berdych beat 20-
year-old Dominic Thiem 6-1, 6-2,
6-4; Cilic was a 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4,
3-6, 6-3 winner against No. 26
Gilles Simon, who was treated for
a back problem early on.
In womens quarterfinals
Tuesday, 39th-ranked Peng Shuai
of China ended the precocious run
of 17-year-old Belinda Belic of
Switzerland 6-2, 6-1. Pengs next
opponent will be No. 10 Caroline
Wozniacki, the 2009 U.S. Open
runner-up, who overwhelmed No.
13 Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1 in a wind-
whipped match Tuesday night.
Peng, 28, advanced to her rst
Grand Slam seminal in the 37th
major tournament of her career;
only ve women took longer to
get to the nal four at one of the
sports top four events.
Her voice choking with emotion
during an on-court interview, Peng
said she had pondered giving up
professional tennis in the past,
but my coach, my parents they
always tell me to try to keep going
and never ever, give up.
In the afternoon, with the tem-
perature topping 90 degrees (32
Celsius) and the humidity at about
50 percent, Monls and Dimitrov
appeared sluggish at times.
Where should I begin? said
Dimitrov, a Wimbledon seminalist
in July. Just a bad match for me.
A key moment came in the sec-
ond-set tiebreaker, when Dimitrov
went ahead 6-4. On the rst set
point, Dimitrov nearly lost his
balance as he shanked a forehand
off Monls mediocre drop shot.
On the second, a 13-stroke
exchange, Dimitrov dropped a
backhand into the net.
That was part of four-poi nt
run for Monfils thanks to mis-
cues by his opponent. While
Monfi l s essent i al l y kept t he
ball in play, taking some pace
off and pushing shots over the
net, Dimitrov sailed forehands
long to end the set.

NL GLANCE AL GLANCE
By Howard Fendrich
NEWYORK Gael Monls fol-
lows his own rules.
The guy does things on a tennis
court no one else has or can.
Just search his name on YouTube
and watch any of many video clips
showcasing his speed and agility;
start with the parallel-to-the-
ground, a-few-feet-in-the-air dive
at this years French Open.
He sips soda during breaks in his
matches, raising the can in a toast
to his agent.
He is currently without any
coach at all, in an era when some
players have two.
What Monls has never done,
despite all his talent and in
some cases, because he has
appeared to value style over sub-
stance right there on court, in the
middle of a point, preferring the
spectacular to the sufcient is
reach a Grand Slam nal. He took a
step closer Tuesday at the U.S.
Open during a surprisingly matter-
of-fact 7-5, 7-6 (6), 7-5 victory in
the fourth round over No. 7-seeded
Grigor Dimitrov, a man considered
one of the sports up-and-comers.
There is a narrative building
around the 20th-seeded Monls
success so far this year at Flushing
Meadows, where he hasnt dropped
a set en route to reaching the quar-
ternals for the rst time since
2010: He has matured, is playing
more carefully, more seriously.
The Frenchman, who will face
Roger Federer for a spot in the
semifinals, rejected that notion
after Tuesdays win.
Im the same. So I will say Im a
bit more lucky than I was maybe
sometime in the past. I think I
havent changed a lot, to be hon-
est. I havent changed a lot,
Monls said. I just play maybe
solid today, but Im still the same.
As if to prove that, there was the
unusual sequence in the second set.
Trailing 40-love as Dimitrov
served, Monfils stood halfway
between the baseline and the serv-
ice line to receive, and then casual-
ly and halfheartedly flicked a
return long to lose the game. He
walked to the changeover to a cho-
rus of boos from the spectators in
Arthur Ashe Stadium, plopped
down for the break, chucked a
towel at the adjacent chair and
started barking something toward
his guest box in the stands.
Asked about that afterward,
Monls said he was angry at him-
self at that moment and just want-
ed to get that game over with.
I was like, Just serve, because
obviously I give you the game. So
its OK, he said. Its nothing
against anyone. I was upset.
Monlslone Grand Slam seminal
appearance came at the 2008 French
Open, when he lost to Federer, part of
a 2-7 career mark against the 17-time
major champion.
Federer advanced to the U.S.
Open quarterfinals for the 10th
time in 11 years by eliminating
17th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut
6-4, 6-3, 6-2 Tuesday night.
Federer won the point on 35 of 52
trips to the net.
The other quarternal matchup
on that half of the draw will be No.
6 Tomas Berdych against No. 14
Marin Cilic. Berdych beat 20-
year-old Dominic Thiem 6-1, 6-2,
6-4; Cilic was a 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4,
3-6, 6-3 winner against No. 26
Gilles Simon, who was treated for
a back problem early on.
In womens quarterfinals
Tuesday, 39th-ranked Peng Shuai
of China ended the precocious run
of 17-year-old Belinda Belic of
Switzerland 6-2, 6-1. Pengs next
opponent will be No. 10 Caroline
Wozniacki, the 2009 U.S. Open
runner-up, who overwhelmed No.
13 Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1 in a wind-
whipped match Tuesday night.
Peng, 28, advanced to her rst
Grand Slam seminal in the 37th
major tournament of her career;
only ve women took longer to
get to the nal four at one of the
sports top four events.
Her voice choking with emotion
during an on-court interview, Peng
said she had pondered giving up
professional tennis in the past,
but my coach, my parents they
always tell me to try to keep going
and never ever, give up.
In the afternoon, with the tem-
perature topping 90 degrees (32
Celsius) and the humidity at about
50 percent, Monls and Dimitrov
appeared sluggish at times.
Where should I begin? said
Dimitrov, a Wimbledon seminalist
in July. Just a bad match for me.
A key moment came in the sec-
ond-set tiebreaker, when Dimitrov
went ahead 6-4. On the rst set
point, Dimitrov nearly lost his
balance as he shanked a forehand
off Monls mediocre drop shot.
On the second, a 13-stroke
exchange, Dimitrov dropped a
backhand into the net.
That was part of four-poi nt
run for Monfils thanks to mis-
cues by his opponent. While
Monfi l s essent i al l y kept t he
ball in play, taking some pace
off and pushing shots over the
net, Dimitrov sailed forehands
long to end the set.

for the rst phase of its pipeline moderniza-
tion program, costs that also cannot be
passed on to customers, bringing the total
penalties levied against PG&E for the San
Bruno explosion to more than $2 billion,
according to the CPUC.
It is the largest penalty for safety viola-
tions ever levied by the commission, dwarf-
ing a $38 million penalty handed down to
PG&E for a 2008 natural gas explosion in
Rancho Cordova.
The judges decision will be nal in 30
days unless PG&E or San Bruno les an
appeal or one of the commissioners requests
a review. If there is an appeal, the decision
would be put to a vote by the commissioner.
The city of San Bruno had asked the CPUC
to levy $2.45 billion in nes and penalties
against PG&E.
San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said Tuesday
that despite the historic level of this ne
and penalty we remain disappointed
because such a large portion of the ruling
will go directly to the states general fund.
He called the nes a payday for Gov.
Jerry Brown, and called on Brown to make
sure that the funds are used for safety
improvements rather than other state
expenditures.
While Ruane said that the city was still
reviewing the decision and was uncertain
whether it would appeal, he said, We call
on PG&E to do the right thing and accept
this penalty without appeal.
Entire neighborhoods were blown apart
in this horric PG&E-made tragedy, Ruane
said. Our goal has and will continue to be a
safer gas pipeline system in California so
that a similar explosion doesnt happen
again.
In a video statement Tuesday, PG&E said
that it expected a ne but gave no indication
whether it would appeal.
We can never undo the pain from the San
Bruno explosion. Were accountable, and
we know a substantial penalty is appropri-
ate, PG&E spokesman Greg Snapper said.
We have respectfully asked the commis-
sion to ensure the nal penalty is reason-
able, is proportionate, and it takes into
consideration all the significant safety
actions weve made on behalf of the commu-
nities that were so fortunate to serve,
Snapper said.
Meanwhile, PG&E is facing criminal
charges in federal court for violations relat-
ed to the explosion. The agency pleaded not
guilty last month to one count of obstruct-
ing justice and 27 counts of violating feder-
al pipeline safety law.
PG&E could face a maximum penalty of
$1.13 billion if convicted of the criminal
charges.
There were $565 million in settlements
between victims of the explosion and PG&E
in San Mateo County Superior Court,
including family members of those killed,
people who were injured and those whose
property was damaged.
The cause of the explosion was a rupture
in a defective seam weld in a pipeline seg-
ment that was incorrectly listed in PG&E
records as seamless, according to the
National Transportation Safety Board.
PG&E
video showing the killing of James Foley
and just days after Sotloffs mother pleaded
for his life.
Barak Bar, a spokesman for the family,
said that the Sotloffs had seen the video but
that authorities have not established its
authenticity.
The family knows of this horric tragedy
and is grieving privately. There will be no
public comment from the family during this
difcult time, Bar said.
Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native
who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy
magazines, vanished in Syria in August
2013 and was not seen again until he
appeared in a video released last month that
showed Foleys beheading. Dressed in an
orange jumpsuit against an arid Syrian land-
scape, Sotloff was threatened in that video
with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes
on the Islamic State.
In the video distributed Tuesday and titled
A Second Message to America, Sotloff
appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is
apparently beheaded by a ghter with the
Islamic State, the extremist group that has
conquered wide swaths of territory across
Syria and Iraq and declared itself a caliphate.
In the video, the organization threatens to
kill another hostage, this one identied as a
British citizen, David Cawthorne Haines. It
was not immediately clear who Haines was.
Britain and France called the killing bar-
baric. British Prime Minister David
Cameron said in a statement that he would
chair an emergency response meeting with
his Cabinet on Wednesday to review the lat-
est developments.
In Washington, State Department spokes-
woman Jen Psaki said U.S. intelligence ana-
lysts will work as quickly as possible to
determine if the video is authentic.
If the video is genuine, we are sickened
by this brutal act, taking the life of another
innocent American citizen, Psaki said. Our
hearts go out to the Sotloff family.
Psaki said it is believed that a few
Americans are still being held by the Islamic
State. Psaki would not give any specics,
but one is a 26-year-old woman kidnapped
while doing humanitarian aid work in Syria,
according to a family representative who
asked that the hostage not be identied out
of fear for her safety.
The fighter who apparently beheads
Sotloff in the video calls it retribution for
Obamas continued airstrikes against the
group.
Im back, Obama, and Im back because
of your arrogant foreign policy toward the
Islamic State ... despite our serious warn-
ings, the ghter says. So just as your mis-
siles continue to strike our people, our knife
will continue to strike the necks of your
people.
The killer specically mentions the recent
U.S. airstrikes around the Mosul dam and the
beleaguered Iraqi town of Amirli, making it
unlikely that Sotloff was killed at the same
time as Foley, as some analysts had specu-
lated.
Over the weekend, Iraqi government forces
with help from U.S. airstrikes broke the
Islamic States two-month siege of Amirli, a
town where some 15,000 Shiite Turkmens
had been stranded.
In a statement Tuesday evening from U.S.
Central Command, military ofcials said an
airstrike conducted Monday against Islamic
State militants near the Mosul Dam damaged
or destroyed 16 armed vehicles.
The SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S. terror-
ism watchdog, first reported the videos
existence.
In a sign of disorganization or perhaps
dissension in the extremist groups
ranks, a faction of the Islamic State appar-
ently posted the video early, before it was
supposed to be released. In a later Twitter
message, those responsible apologized and
asked fellow jihadis not to reproach them.
The Islamic State has terrorized rivals and
civilians alike with widely publicized brutal-
ity as it seeks to expand a proto-state it has
carved out on both sides of the border. In its
rise to prominence over the past year, it has
frequently published graphic photos and
gruesome videos of bombings, beheadings
and mass killings.
Last week, Sotloffs mother, Shirley
Sotloff, pleaded with his captors for mercy,
saying in a video that her son was an inno-
cent journalist and an honorable man
who has always tried to help the weak.
Sotloff grew up in the Miami area, and
graduated from Kimball Union Academy, a
prep school in New Hampshire.
As a student at Kimball, Sotloff devel-
oped a passion for reporting and writing, a
gift that he shared with people around the
world, and this unthinkable act of terror has
taken him from us far too soon, New
Hampshire Gov, Maggie Hassan said in a
statement.

Chinese Cuisine
By Melissa Darabian
My grandma Ursula relied on honey to
solve nearly any culinary or health prob-
lem. Have a nagging nighttime cough?
Swallow a spoonful of honey. Chocolate
sauce not smooth enough? A dab of honey
will do it.
My mom loved honey, too, favoring the
creamy spun variety, which she smeared on
toasted hunks of white bread slathered with
butter. And her go-to dessert was a sweet
apple-honey Rosh Hashana-style torte she
learned to make during a short period in my
childhood when we celebrated both
Christian and Jewish holidays.
Now in my own home, I add a dollop of
honey to sweeten smoothies or iced tea,
steep it with rosemary and brush it on
salmon, or drizzle it on top of ricotta or
Greek yogurt with roasted fruit for a quick
dessert.
And with school back in session, Im
back in the business of baking up one of my
kids favorites a simple snack cake
inspired by the apple-honey torte my mom
used to make. Because its technically a
quick bread, the whole thing takes just 10
minutes to assemble (mix wet and dry ingre-
dients separately, then together) and about
30 minutes to bake. The hardest part of this
recipe is getting the ingredients out of the
cupboard.
If Im feeling fancy, Ill make a bright cit-
rusy glaze, which is a nice counterpoint to
the warm notes of autumn spices and honey.
Its a perfect not-too-sweet dessert, a great
dunking companion for afternoon tea or
espresso, and an ideal afterschool snack
with a tall glass of milk.
I use whole-wheat pastry our for a little
extra ber and nutrition, and with the beau-
tiful spices, the slightly darker color seems
right at home in this cake. Most of the oil
has been pulled in favor of applesauce. To
keep it easy, I use pumpkin pie spice, but
you could easily substitute a combination
of nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice.
The resulting cake captures all the oral
goodness and nostalgia of honey in one
tender bite. But if you prefer, feel free to
replace half of the honey with brown sugar.
HONEY APPLESAUCE SNACK
CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE
Start to nish: 40 minutes (10 minutes
active)
Servings: 10
1 cup white whole-wheat our
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted (or veg-
etable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-inch
round cake pan with baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
our, baking powder, baking soda, cinna-
mon, pumpkin pie spice and salt. In a sepa-
rate bowl, whisk together the egg, apple-
sauce, honey, butter, vanilla, orange zest
and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice. Pour
the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
and whisk using a gentle folding motion
until the batter is uniform.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until the top is golden and the cake
springs back under light pressure, 25 to 30
minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan,
then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the glaze, in a small
bowl whisk together the remaining 2 table-
spoons of orange juice and the powdered
sugar. Once the cake is cooled, drizzle with
the glaze.

NAPA The rst pinot noir grapes
of the season came in to Trefethen
Family Vineyards as usual, glistening
purple mounds stacked in white bins.
Well, almost as usual. This year, har-
vest workers donned safety vests and
hard hats in deference to their proxim-
ity to a circa 1886 building left sag-
ging at the knees by the magnitude-
6.0 earthquake that hit Aug. 24. But
with the building propped up, the har-
vest went on, here and elsewhere in the
Napa Valley.
No one is minimizing the quake
dozens of people were injured, historic
buildings were damaged, rivers of wine
were lost, and early estimates put the
loss at $360 million but the impact
on the harvest itself, and therefore the
wine made from it, is expected to be
relatively small.
Part of that is timing. With harvest
about to start, many wineries already
had bottled their 2012 and 2013
wines, which meant they were securely
boxed and shrink-wrapped.
Some wineries did lose signicant
amounts of wine, but consumers arent
expected to notice an overall drop in
supply since this years harvest fol-
lows two successive big crops and
comes at the end of what has been a
favorable growing season despite the
states deepening drought.
Still, looking at wineries individual-
l y, there was some dramatic damage.
At The Hess Collection, a winery
renowned for its art collection as well
as its wines, a brown sandstone path
turned purple after gallons of 2013
cabernet sauvignon gushed out of two
ruptured 10,000-gallon tanks. And a
crack in the wall of an old stone build-
ing meant guest operations had to be
moved to other parts of the winery
grounds, but none of that stopped har-

Utah women target Carls Jr. for racy ads
SALT LAKE CITY A pair of Utah women dedicated to
pushing back against the objectication of women say
Carls Jr. has gone too far with its long-running line of TV
ads featuring women in bikinis eating the companys burg-
ers in seductive poses.
Twin sisters Lexie and Lindsay Kite, co-founders of
Beauty Redened, have launched a social media campaign
calling on people to boycott Carls Jr. for ads they say
exemplify whats wrong with how women are portrayed in
popular culture.
They are just pushing the boundaries, and they are doing
it blatantly, said Lexie Kite, 28. They are only getting
more and more sexually objectifying. We know as well as
anybody how much harm this does to men, to boys, to girls,
to women, to relationships. Its time to speak up.
They are asking people to boycott Carls Jr., promoting
the campaign on social media using the hash tags,
#CutTheCarls and #MoreThanMeat.

Many cream-based chowders suffer from
the same problem its hard to taste any-
thing but the cream.
Admittedly, all that fat is mighty deli-
cious. But if youre going to go to the trou-
ble of making a chowder, wouldnt it be nice
to taste some of the other ingredients? So
we set about making a simple clam chowder
that draws on fresh herbs to marry the vari-
ous avors.
Fresh tarragon and the lightly herbaceous
avor of fresh fennel were the right choice.
Both play so well with the avors of the
cream, potatoes and clams. The result is that
this dish has no one avor star, and thats as
it should be. The ingredients are perfectly
harmonious together.
TARRAGON-FENNEL CLAM CHOWDER
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
6 strips thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs, bulb only,
diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
2 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and
diced
8-ounce bottle clam juice
12 ounces canned or frozen clams,
chopped
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over
medium-high heat, cook the bacon until
crisp and it has rendered all its fat. Use a
slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a
plate and set aside.
Return the saucepan of bacon fat to medi-
um-high heat and add the onion, garlic and
fennel. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the
onion is very tender. Stir in the our, coat-
ing the vegetables all over. Add the pota-
toes, clam juice, clams, half-and-half and
cream, then bring to a bare simmer.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until
the potatoes are tender. Season with salt and
pepper, then stir in the tarragon. Serve
topped with the crispy bacon.

It is, in fact, wonderful to be dis-
tracted from the unexpected craziness
of the earthquake to the expected and
very much planned for craziness of
harvest, said Hess spokesman Jim
Caudill.
Some wineries with damaged
equipment were scrambling to find
replacements via an online help
forum hosted by the Napa Valley
Vintners, a 500-member trade asso-
ci at i on. The association donated
$10 million to create a disaster relief
fund for residents and businesses.
Harvest is peak tourist season and
most hotels and restaurants were open
and events going on as scheduled,
including the 20th annual Music
Festival for Brain Health hosted by
Staglin Family Vineyard Sept. 13-14
which features singer Jewel and is
expected to draw more than 1,000.
We felt it in Rutherford for sure,
but we were relatively lucky with
only some minor equipment issues
and a few broken bottles, said Shari
Staglin. Now back to normal, they
really never considered postponing
or canceling. Our festival is one of
the most significant gatherings of
scientists and researchers in the
world, plus its a lot of fun, which is
something we need right now.
Of course, some damage cant be
xed, like the loss of library wines,
bottles from past vintages.
At the Saintsbury winery on the
southern end of the Napa Valley, more
than 400 library wines shattered, bad
news for the winery and for those who
enjoy its prized pinot noirs and
chardonnays. Barrels fell, most of
them empty, and the water tank rup-
tured, but harvest was delayed only a
few days.
By dint of a lot of hard work and
everybody pitching in, were ready to
have all the happy excitement that the
rst grapes bring to anybody, said
David W. Graves, Saintsbury co-
founder.

By Alison Ladman
We all know fire works wonders on meat
and vegetables. But we often forget that it
also can do amazing things for fruit.
To prove the point, we decided to come
up with a summer grilling recipe that puts
the heat to all of the above meat, veg-
etables and fruit.
We start by making a grilled salsa built
around tomatillos, mangos, red onion and
Peppadew peppers. Then we created a blue
cheese-blended patty that is equal parts
burger and meatloaf, the perfect base to
spoon the salsa onto. The result is a
moist, tender burger with tons of flavor in
and on it.
If you cant find Peppadews, substitute
jarred banana peppers for a similar tang
without a lot of heat.
GRILLED TOMATILLO AND
MANGO SALSA OVER BLUE
CHEESE MEATLOAF BURGERS
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
12 ounces ground pork
12 ounces ground chuck
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 large tomatillos, halved
Olive oil
2 mangos, peeled, pitted and cut into
spears
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-
thick slices
1/4 cup chopped Peppadew peppers
Hot sauce, to taste
6 large burger buns
In a medium bowl, mix together the
pork, chuck, egg, breadcrumbs, blue
cheese, mustard, scallions, thyme, 1 tea-
spoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Divide into 6 portions, shape into patties
and press an indent into the center with
your thumb. Set aside.
Heat the grill to high.
Arrange the tomatillos, mangos and red
onion on a rimmed baking sheet and brush
with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pep-
per.
Grill the tomatillos, mangos and red
onion until lightly charred and tender, 4 to
6 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then
dice. Mix together in a bowl along with
the chopped peppers. Season with salt,
pepper and hot sauce. Set aside.
Grill the burgers for 4 to 6 minutes per
side, or to desired doneness. Serve on buns
topped with the salsa.

building permits to remodel 131 S. B
St., the site of the old Resort Fitness,
into a coffee lovers locale.
Creating a downtown San Mateo
presence was fueled in part by a call
from the companys followers and
being tipped off about the propertys
availability, Philz Coffee District
Manager Rob George said.
I think our customers have been
sort of asking for a location in San
Mateo. Because weve been in San
Francisco and then our next location is
in Palo Alto, George said. I think
downtown San Mateo is just an amaz-
ing, thriving, growing downtown, its
just a really cool downtown.
This will be the companys 17th and
largest location, with most shops
ranging about 2,000 square feet,
George said. Philz Coffee will be
remodeling the more than 3,000-
square-foot B Street location near the
downtown Caltrain station, George
said.
This is signicantly bigger. So lots
of seating, lots of opportunities for
the neighbors to come in and get their
cups of coffee and enjoy our excellent
service, George said.
The company is known for its one
cup at a time motto and stands out from
other chain retailers, George said.
I think that our mission says it
best. Its to better peoples day,
George said. What more could you ask
for then a barista making your cup of
coffee right in front of you. And you
dont have to pay until its perfect.
The companys founder, Phil Jaber,
started his rst coffee shop in 2003 out
of a grocery store hed ran for close to
30 years at 24th and Folsom streets in
San Francisco, George said. Since
then, the small company has steadily
grown and built about seven stores
within the last two years or so alone,
George said.
The San Mateo location will close
the gap in the companys presence
between South San Francisco and Palo
Alto. Kathleen Bednarik, ofce man-
ager for the Downtown San Mateo
Association, said the B Street location
has been vacant for a while and its
great to see it will be lled with a
unique shop.
Were extremely excited to have
them and theyre very excited to have a
presence in downtown San Mateo.
Evidently, they are very very
entrenched in the San Francisco mar-
ket so, of all the different places they
could expand, to have them chose San
Mateo is fantastic, Bednarik said.
George said Philz Coffee shop hours
depend on the location and typically
stores are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
But its likely the San Mateo location
will stay open later on the weekends to
serve the movie theater and restaurant
crowds, George said.
The company is still waiting for the
city to approve its building permits
before it will start to remodel the site
by xing up the restrooms, installing
the coffee bar and other design work,
George said.
The permit application has been in
the works for months and, although
the company anticipated it would take
some time for its permits to be
approved, theyre ready to start swing-
ing the hammer, George said.
The application has been in most of
the summer, so its been a little bit of a
long process for us, but I believe the
nish line is in sight. So were hoping
to start construction really soon,
George said. Its really just a great raw
space right now. We want to retain as
much of the cool sort of atmosphere of
the space while putting our coffee sta-
tion and whole bean retail space in.
PHILZ
action accrued the day of the alleged
molestation, and found Pedros negli-
gence claims were barred by the statute
of limitations.
We are pleased by the courts ruling,
which conrms the sound legal merits
of Ms. Pedros claims and advances this
case toward trial, said Marc Lewis of
Lewis & Llewellyn, the rm represent-
ing Pedro, in an email. We look for-
ward to uncovering the full facts regard-
ing how the District mishandled and
enabled sexual abuse at Ralston Middle
School, so we can all learn from it and
prevent it from happening to other
children in the community.
The district, meanwhile, is not
pleased with the latest tentative ruling.
It goes against past case law to rein-
terpret statute of limitations, said dis-
trict spokesman Tom DeLapp. The
judge has enabled them to move forward
to trial. Were surprised and disappoint-
ed.
Once the nal ruling is issued, the
district will decide what its legal
options are to challenge this move.
It could be several months off
because we may challenge this through
the Court of Appeals, DeLapp said.
This could potentially open up a whole
new era of people dredging up lawsuits
in an effort to get settlements.
Lee issued a tentative ruling to the
parties last month that upheld most of
the districts arguments. The district
contended that Pedro waited so long
after her molestation to le a July 2013
claim and then a lawsuit that key wit-
nesses have either died, moved to parts
unknown or left its employment.
Pedro, now an adult, knew from the time
of the act that she had been wronged
even if Edwards was not prosecuted but
failed to act, according to the district.
Still, she asked for a second round of
oral arguments before issuing the for-
mal ruling.
The district still contends Pedro did-
nt le a claim within six months of the
2001 molestation, within six months
of Edwards March 2011 arrest or within
six months of her 2011 interview by
Belmont police detectives in connec-
tion to his criminal case.
The suit claims the district knew that
Edwards committed at least eight sepa-
rate incidents of sexual misconduct
involving at least six students while
employed but took afrmative steps
to hide his history such as sealing a
1996 investigation and not contacting
police.
When Pedro was 12, in May 2001,
Edwards reportedly touched her inap-
propriately while she worked on a book
report in his ofce. She told school
authorities and police were alerted but
charges were never led because of ques-
tions over credibility. In 2010, he
groped a students breast and buttocks,
leading to his arrest and a revisit of
Pedros allegations. He pleaded no con-
test to two counts of felony false
imprisonment and one count of misde-
meanor child annoyance in return for
nine months jail and sex offender treat-
ment to settle both cases.
In May 2013, Pedro learned from his
probation report in the newest case
about his alleged conduct prior to her
incident and that the district failed to
take action, according to the suit.
The lawsuit names several current and
former employees including County
Superintendent Anne Campbell, the
former district superintendent.
There is a case management confer-
ence on the matter Wednesday, Sept. 3.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Emotional issues will
become more pronounced if you arent honest. Be
diplomatic, but dont lie to protect others feelings
or avoid an argument. Truth will be your saving
grace in the end.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Plan an event with
friends. An enjoyable evening of entertainment will
provide a welcome diversion from work-related
stress and personal problems. Some interesting
news is coming your way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Make your nances
a priority. Look into moneymaking schemes that will
increase your revenue stream without a major cash
outlay. Dont share personal matters prematurely.
Protect your reputation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If others seem
especially trying, look at your actions and consider
if you are the cause. Perhaps you have been too
demanding or short-tempered. Be honest and strive
to be more considerate.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This is not a good
time to reveal your private plans or secrets. Aim to
be a leader, not a follower. Someone you trust will
let you down. Cover your back and take care of your
own responsibilities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) One way to attract
inuential followers is to get involved in humanitarian
causes. You can make a difference if you adopt a
leadership position and express your point of view.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You may be feeling
anxious or hurt. Rather than dwell on negative events,
take this opportunity to do something enjoyable that
will ease your mind and lift your spirits.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Dont let others make
decisions for you. Plan to spend some time outdoors
or get involved in a cause that you feel passionate
about. You will be inspired if you visit an old friend.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may feel
burdened by the needs of an older relative. Take
a moment to address your own needs, but dont
overspend in the process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stay on an even keel
and dont let your emotions exhaust you. Stewing
over an unhappy event will lead nowhere. Channel
your energy toward love and affection instead.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) An industry or work-
related function will provide you with the perfect
chance to meet someone new and exciting. Uphold
your reputation at work by performing well and
putting in some overtime.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will have no problem
making a lasting impression. Be prepared to step
into the limelight. A physical challenge will be
invigorating and rewarding.

WORLD 31
By Peter Leonard
NOVOKATERYNIVKA, Ukraine
The ferocity of the attack on the flee-
ing Ukrainian troops was clear, days
after the ambush by Russian-backed
separatist forces.
More than 30 military vehicles lay
in charred piles Tuesday. Villagers
said dozens were killed, and some
remained unburied. One soldier was
blown out of his armored vehicle -
apparently by a shell his body left
dangling from power lines high
above.
The rout early Sunday near the vil-
lage of Novokaterynivka marked a
major intensification in the rebel
offensive, one that the Ukrainian
government, NATO and the United
States say has been sustained by
Russias direct military support.
Moscow has stepped up its harsh
rhetoric as well. A leaked report said
European Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso said President
Vladimir Putin told him that Russia
could take over Kiev in two weeks if
it wished.
Following a month of setbacks in
which government troops regained
territory, the separatists have been
successful in the last 10 days just as
columns of Russian tanks and armored
vehicles have been seen crossing the
border. President Barack Obama and
other NATO leaders will be attending a
summit Thursday in Wales to create a
rapid-response military team to
counter the Russian threat.
Yuri Ushakov, Putins foreign poli-
cy adviser, said the Russian leaders
statement on Kiev was taken out of
context and carried a completely dif-
ferent meaning.
Yet the results of much deadlier
weapons of war could not be denied.
The smashed tanks, APCs and trucks
were part of a massive column fleeing
after being encircled in the town of
Ilovaisk, which the Ukrainian gov-
ernment was compelled to concede
after weeks of battles. Judging by
how close together the stricken vehi-
cles were, the incoming fire was pre-
cise and intense.
They were going to surrender, and
they began to bomb them, said
Novokaterynivka resident Anatoly
Tyrn, who had the turret of a tank land
beside his home.
Ukrainian army personnel have
been allowed to travel to
Novokaterynivka, about 36 kilome-
ters (23 miles) southeast of Donetsk,
and surrounding rebel-held areas to
retrieve their soldiers bodies.
Villagers and the separatists say the
number of Ukrainian military dead
was huge, although the government
has maintained a tight lid on the pre-
cise figure.
Tyrn said he believed more than 100
had died. Various rebel fighters sepa-
rately gave estimates, all ranging
into the dozens. Associated Press
reporters saw at least 11 bodies in the
last two days, although it was clear
that was only a portion of the overall
toll. Most of the dead were removed
Monday, the rebels said, although
one was buried so shallowly that the
decaying remains were still visible.
Only a few homes in the village
have been left untouched, he said.
As Tyrn spoke, the silence was bro-
ken by a controlled explosion of
abandoned Ukrainian army equipment
a couple of miles away.
Ukrainian troops routed as Russia talks tough
Putin digging in for
long Ukraine fight
By Vladimir Isachenkov
MOSCOW Riding a wave of military gains by Russia-
backed rebels, President Vladimir Putin has made it exceed-
ingly clear that he wants a peace deal for
Ukraine on his terms and will not be
stopped by economic costs.
The four-month conflict has now
reached a breaking point, where Russia
and Ukraine could either negotiate a polit-
ical settlement or plunge deeper into hos-
tilities.
Prospects for a political settlement
looked dim just a few weeks ago while the
Ukrainian troops were methodically
tightening their noose around pro-Russia rebel strongholds
in the east, but Kievs hopes for a quick victory were short-
lived. A rebel counter-offensive has quickly turned the tide
against the Kiev government, inicting huge losses and
raising the threat of Ukraine losing access to the energy-rich
Sea of Azov.
The West has accused Russia of sharply escalating the con-
ict by sending regular army units into Ukraine after months
of covert assistance to the rebellion and has threatened more
sanctions.
Putins apparent response is: What you call a Russian
invasion is nothing compared to what we could do and all
options are on the table. The Kremlins halfhearted denial of
Putins warning that Moscow could seize the Ukrainian cap-
ital in two weeks if it wished, which he reportedly made to
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso last week,
only reinforced the signal that Russia will not back off.
Putins comment last week emphasizing Russias nuclear
arsenal appeared to send the same tough message to the
West: Dont mess with us.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama will make a symbol-
ic show of Western support for the Baltic countries by trav-
eling to Estonia on Wednesday before heading to a NATO
summit Thursday in Wales that is expected to draw out plans
to boost the alliances military commitments in Central and
Eastern Europe.
