City eyes home sharing rules


South San Francisco may establish permit plan for short-term renters
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

South San Francisco residents sharing


rooms through websites such as Airbnb may
soon be asked to pay fees for a permit before
renting their homes, under a new policy being
considered by city officials.
The citys Planning Commission will meet
Thursday, Sept. 3, to consider enforcing

restrictions on the home sharing industry,


which has become increasingly popular
through websites which facilitate the agreements between residents and short-term
renters.
There is no current policy in South San
Francisco regulating the industry, according to a city report, but officials are looking to join a growing regional movement
by local municipalities to harness the

short-term rental market.


According to Alex Greenwood, the citys
director of Economic and Community
Development, said in an email officials
believe it is time to rein in the popular industry.
The proposed approach would be to formally recognize these uses and bring them
into the family of approved uses with reasonable oversight, he said.

Under a recommendation by city staff,


planning commissioners will be asked to consider introducing a $150 permit through a
one-year pilot program should residents wish
to list rooms for rent on Airbnb, VRBO,
Homekey or other similar websites.
There are a variety of listings in the city on
Airbnb currently, ranging in cost from around

Sen. Mark Leno seeks to classify

A new study that health advocates say proves electronic cigarettes contain

For decades, the tobacco industry mounted a
campaign of lies about cigarettes, and now these
same companies claim that their e-cigarettes are
harmless. Anyone who thinks that vaping is
harmless needs to know that our testing unequivocally shows that its not safe to vape, the centers Executive Director Michael Green said in a

State orders firm to stop


tapping Sierra springs
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO Armed with evidence captured


by surveillance cameras, California regulators
have ordered a business to stop tapping Sierra
Nevada spring water that is later bottled and
sold in stores, officials said Wednesday.
It would be the first such action taken this
year against a commercial water bottling business under tight drought restrictions, said
Kathy Mrowka, enforcement manager of the
state Water Resources Control Board.
Sugar Pine Spring Water in the foothills of
Tuolumne County also faces fines of nearly
$225,000 for collecting and trucking the water
to commercial bottling companies for two
years despite notices to stop, according to the
proposed sanctions by the state Water
Resources Control Board.
With California in its fourth year of historic
drought, residents are being told to cutback,
and thousands of farmers and other users such
as Sugar Pine have been notified they must
stop using waters as streams and rivers run
dry.
The state earlier this year proposed a $1.5
million fine against the Byron-Bethany
Irrigation District east of the San Francisco
Bay Area, accusing it of taking water despite
similar drought restrictions. The district is

challenging the case.


Springs tapped by Sugar Pine feed into the
Tuolumne River watershed and drain into
New Don Pedro Reservoir. The city of San
Francisco and farmers in Turlock and Oakdale
irrigation districts rely on the watershed, the
complaint says.
Sugar Pine was launched in the early 1990s
and holds junior water rights, which have been
curtailed in 2014 and 2015 because of the
drought.
Scott Fahey, the owner of the company, continued to divert a total of 22 acre feet of water
over 170 days in the past two years after being
notified no water was available under his
rights, the complaint says.
One acre-foot is the volume of water sufficient to cover an acre of land to a depth of one
foot, enough water to sustain a typical
California household of four for one year.
The company pumps water captured from
four springs to a transfer station before it is
trucked to commercial bottling firms, the
complaint says. The bottling firms are not
identified in a complaint and Mrowka
declined to name them.
Fahey can challenge the state action before
the measures take effect. Fahey did not
respond to a call seeking comment. His attorney, William Bart Barringer, declined to
comment in an email, saying he anticipates a
hearing before the state water board.

Man who crashed car after


police chase gets four years
A man arrested in December for leading
police on a chase and crashing a stolen vehicle
was sentenced to four years
in state prison Wednesday
after turning down the
option to enter into drug
treatment, according to the
San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Thomas Silva, a 33-yearold San Leandro man, and
his passenger Desiree
Thomas Silva Rodriguez, a 30-year-old
Hayward woman, were
arrested after leading police on a car chase and
crashing into another car on Highway 101,
according to Foster City police.
Silva was driving a stolen vehicle reported a
day prior to the San Mateo Police Department
and the victim just happened to be in Foster
City and stumbled across his vehicle and called
the police. Silva was driving the stolen 2007
Honda Ridgeline pickup truck when police
attempted to pull him over before he sped off
west on State Route 92. Silva was driving more
than 80 mph at times before hitting another
vehicle, according to police.
He reportedly gave officers a false name and
date of birth at the scene of the accident.
Silva was arrested for felony vehicle theft,
hit-and-run accident causing injury, DUI collision with injury and evading police. He was
also arrested for misdemeanor possession of a
controlled substance and having two outstanding warrants for robbery and vehicle theft,
according to police.
Silvas passenger, Rodriguez, wasnt arrested
in relation to the crime but on an outstanding
warrant out of Alameda County.
He has 509 days credit for time served and
was ordered to make restitution to the victim in
the amount of $4,850, according to prosecutors.

The Daly City Police Department conducted
a DUI and drivers license checkpoint last
Saturday night that netted six arrests.
Police screened a total of 1,030 vehicles
over the course of the checkpoint, held at
Mission and Bismark streets from 8 p.m. until
4 a.m. Sunday. According to police, two of the
arrests made at the checkpoint were DUI-related.
The first DUI arrest occurred at 12:25 a.m.
involving Larry Laurora, 35, of San Francisco,
according to Sgt. Matthew Fox.
Shannon Hurt, 20, of Brisbane, was the
other driver arrested on suspicion of DUI. Hurt
was arrested at 2:25 a.m., according to Fox.
Two other arrests were made at the checkpoint related to other criminal offenses, Fox

warrant and resisting arrest. According to Fox,
both were booked into San Mateo County Jail.
Two Solano County residents were cited for
possession of drug paraphernalia and driving
on a suspended license, respectively. Their
citations are recorded as arrests by Daly City

crimes out of county, Fox said.
Daly City police cited three other in-county
residents driving on a suspended license, Fox
said.

FOX LAKE, Ill. Charles Joseph
Gliniewicz was on the brink of retiring after a
30-year career in law enforcement. At 52, the
tattooed police officer with a shaved head
could still be tough and intimidating if the job
called for it.
But he also had a sweet side that endeared
him to the suburban Chicago village he had

were not charged.
In the Senate, meanwhile, lawmakers
approved a bill setting standards for local governments to accept surplus military equipment
like armored vehicles, heavy weapons and aircraft. AB36 passed by a 31-4 vote, but returns

They also unanimously advanced two bills

Although county officials agree with the


San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury that they
need to beef up their efforts to combat sea
level rise, they are not sure yet exactly how to
approach it.
The grand jury recommends that the county,
each city in the county and relevant local special agencies should identify a single organization, such as a new joint powers authority or
an expanded Flood Control District, to undertake countywide sea level rise planning.
The San Mateo County Flood Control
District only governs Colma, San Bruno and
San Francisquito creeks, however.
The district also generates little tax revenue
from Colma and San Bruno residents. About
$40 million in improvements to San
Francisquito Creek in Menlo Park and East
Palo Alto is being mostly paid for by the Santa
Clara Valley Water District.
The grand jury issued the report Flooding
Ahead: Planning for Sea Level Rise in June.
The report found that the county is at severe
risk for flooding of up to 65 inches by the end
of the century and that it is a threat to the
entire county especially considering it nor any
of its cities has adopted sea level rise projections or maps for specific land use planning
purposes.
In a response letter to the grand jury, county officials agree with most of the recommendations in the report although they say some
need more analysis, such as creating a single
entity to lead sea level rise planning.
The grand jury also found that the county
needs to better educate the public on the
threats of sea level rise.
Much of the public education work to date
has been spearheaded by Supervisor Dave
Pine and his office in partnership with the
offices of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park.
The three have held three public forums in
the last year or so and the county has since
hired a new climate resiliency specialist to
coordinate its sea level rise planning and outreach efforts, according to a report to the
Board of Supervisors by County Manager
John Maltbie.
By the end of this year, the county suggests
the formation of a stakeholder committee
comprised of city officials, the Flood Control
District and City/County Association of
Governments of San Mateo County to study
the grand jurys recommendation to form a
countywide sea level rise organization.
The grand jury also recommends that the

Comment on

www.smdailyjournal.com
single organization be sustainably funded
through member contributions and even corporations threatened by sea level rise.
San Mateo County is particularly susceptible to the impacts of sea level rise more so
than any other county in the state, according to
the grand jury report. According to the report,
about 120,000 residents are at risk of losing
their homes. Nearly $24 billion worth of infrastructure including six wastewater treatment
plants and three airports are in potential flood
zones and hundreds of miles of roads could be
gravely impacted by the end of the century,
the report said.
More levee construction will likely be needed to prevent flooding but other solutions
would be less costly, Pine said when the grand
jury report was first released.
Although rising seas may not be a reality for
many decades, the risk of severe flooding in
the county is a reality now, Pine said
Wednesday.
The county has put its own resources
toward the problem but raising local money to
combat sea level rise will require a more formal structure, Pine said.
When we think about flooding and sea
level rise, the challenge is to reduce risks and
there are a number of things we can do to
reduce risks that dont require major construction projects. For example, I think it makes
sense for us to adopt zoning and building rules
for the Bayshore that would cover new construction so that its more resistant to flooding.
There are certain things that we could tackle
that arent as financially daunting as building
big levees, Pine previously told the Daily
Journal.
Federal, state, county and local officials did
gather Friday, Aug. 29, to discuss a levee project in Foster City aimed at adapting to sea
level rise. The catalyst of that multi-million
effort is to meet the Federal Emergency
Management Agencys standards for a 100year-storm and prevent nearly 9,000 Foster
City properties from being subject to costly
flood insurance. FEMAs pending coastal
flood map indicates the citys nearly 8-mile
levee system is no longer adequate and officials are moving toward extensive upgrades
estimated to cost between $35 million and $65
million.
The county is required to reply to the grand
jury although it is not required to follow any
of its recommendations.

Lawmakers push
public retirement
funds to divest from coal
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers
are sending Gov. Jerry Brown a plan
to force the states two largest public

holdings.
Assemblyman Rob Bonta, an
Oakland Democrat, says requiring
the California Public Employees
Retirement System and the

Teachers
Retirement System to drop coal

He carried SB185 in the Assembly
Wednesday, where it passed on a 4327 vote.
Senate Democrats say the funds
would have to divest about $300 million, a nominal portion of their billions in investments.
Republican Assemblyman James
Gallagher of Nicolaus said the
Legislature shouldnt interfere with
investment decisions by the fund
boards, which aim for the highest
returns.
The bill is among several environmental bills pushed by Senate
President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, a

FBI: Defendant in California


kidnapping blamed vaccine
SAN FRANCISCO The man
charged in a California kidnapping
that police initially dismissed as a

mental illness and a side effect from
a vaccine contributed to his behavior,
the FBI said in a court filing.
Matthew Muller made the comments to a television news reporter
during a jailhouse interview in July,
FBI Special Agent Wesley Drone
said in an affidavit in support of a
search warrant. The reporter was not
allowed to record the interview and
had been asked by Muller not to
reveal his comments about acting
alone and the vaccine. She did report
that Muller said he felt bad for the
kidnapping victim and thought the
victim deserved an apology.
But the jail, which warns people
that it records conversations with
inmates, recorded the interview,
including the portions that were off
the record, Drone said. When discussing the kidnapping, Muller said
there was no gang, and it was just
him, according to the FBI affidavit.

Barack Obamas visit to Arctic


spotlights tough life in Alaska
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KOTZEBUE, Alaska With a


historic visit to the Alaska Arctic,
President Barack Obama on
Wednesday turned the spotlight on
the plight of Alaska Natives and others who toil in rural areas under
rough-and-tumble conditions that
most Americans would be hardpressed to imagine.
Closing out a three-day tour of the
state, Obama first visited the fishing
village of Dillingham in Western
Alaska to inspect one of the worlds
biggest sockeye salmon runs and
underscore the need to protect this
incredible natural resource, not just
for the people whose livelihood
depends on it, but for the entire country.
From there, he traveled north of the
Arctic Circle to the town of
Kotzebue, a regional hub with a population of barely more than 3,000.
Obamas trip, the first by a sitting
president to the Arctic, puts on rare

display the ways of life and daily


challenges in Alaskas more than 200
far-flung rural villages. Outside of
Kotzebue, 1 in 5 in the Alaska Arctic
doesnt have a proper kitchen,
according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
And even more lack complete plumbing. Instead, many use the honey
bucket system five-gallon drums
that serve as makeshift toilets are
emptied into nearby sewage lagoons.
The presidents goal was to showcase the havoc he says human-influenced climate change is wreaking on
Alaskas delicate landscape: entire
rural villages sinking into the ground
as permafrost thaws, protective sea
ice melts and temperatures climb.
Alaska Natives have joined the
president in sounding the alarm on
climate change. Yet the obstacles they
confront daily in rural Alaska extend
far deeper, raising questions about
whether the federal government has
done enough to help some of the
countrys most destitute citizens.
This is a life of subsistence hunting
for bowhead whales, walruses and

seals, a proud tradition of dependence


on the land that poses immense logistical challenges.
The vast majority of Americans
have no idea there are dozens of communities in Alaska that live like this,
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said in
an interview. Its unacceptable, and
we need to do more to fix it.
Even as Obamas travels brought
him near the Bering Sea, U.S. officials reported the presence of five
Chinese PLA Navy ships in the sea
the first time they have been
observed there.
White House press secretary Josh
Earnest said U.S. officials dont view
the Chinese vessels to be a threat but
he added that the reason for their
presence is still unclear.
The ships were participating in a
military exercise with Russia in previous days and then broke off to head
into the Bering Sea, according to a
U.S. defense official who was not
authorized to discuss the matter publicly so spoke on condition of
anonymity.

President seals Iran deal win as


Senate Democrats find 34 votes
By Erica Werner and Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Overcoming ferocious


opposition, President Barack Obama secured
a legacy-defining foreign policy victory
Wednesday as Senate Democrats clinched the
necessary votes to ensure the Iran nuclear
agreement survives in Congress.
The decisive 34th commitment came from
Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski, who is
retiring next year after three decades in the
Senate. In a statement she said no deal is perfect, especially one negotiated with the Iranian
regime. But she called the pact the best
option available to block Iran from having a
nuclear bomb.
Supporters now have the votes in hand to
uphold Obamas veto, if one becomes necessary, of a resolution of disapproval
Republicans are trying to pass this month.
GOP lawmakers who control the House and
Senate ardently oppose the agreement, which
curbs Irans nuclear program in exchange for
hundreds of billions of dollars in relief from
international sanctions.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., grudgingly acknowledged that his side
would not be able to block the deal after
Obama, in his words, secured the tepid,
restricted and partisan support of one-third of
one house of Congress. McConnell spared
the accord no criticism, saying it leaves Iran
with a threshold nuclear capability.
Israel also has railed against the deal, arguing that its conditions would keep Iran perilously close to developing nuclear weapons
while enriching a government that has funded

anti-U.S. and anti-Israel militants throughout


the Middle East. Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who had personally lobbied U.S.
lawmakers to block the pact, will continue
fighting the agreement, an Israeli official said,
while a spokesman for the pro-Israel lobby
AIPAC said his group also would seek to build
further opposition.
In Philadelphia, Secretary of State John
Kerry defended the deal. Rejecting this
agreement would not be sending a signal of
resolve to Iran, it would be broadcasting a
message so puzzling that most people across
the globe would find it impossible to comprehend, he told lawmakers and civic leaders at
the National Constitution Center. His speech
was carried live on Iranian television, an
unusual occurrence

included in the agreement. The deal sets Iran
back so that it is at least a year away from
being able to produce enough nuclear material for a weapon, before the restrictions ease
after a decade.
For all the geopolitical ramifications, the
debate in the U.S. has often seemed more
about domestic partisan politics over a resolution that, on its own, wouldnt be able to
reverse a multi-country agreement already
blessed by the United Nations. A vote of disapproval, however, could signal Congress
readiness to introduce new sanctions at the
risk of causing Tehran and other governments to abandon the accord and blame the
U.S. for the failure.

Lots of trees to hug


Study counts more than 3 trillion trees on Earth
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON More than 3 trillion trees now grow on Earth, seven times
more than scientists previously thought.
But its also trillions fewer than there
used to be, a new study concludes.
A United Nations-affiliated youth
group had a goal of planting one billion
trees and Yale forestry researcher Thomas
Crowther was asked if planting that many
trees would do anything to help combat
human-made climate change. Trees capture and store heat-trapping carbon dioxide.
Crowther said first he had to figure
out how many trees are on Earth and
that number was far more than anyone
expected: 3.04 trillion trees, according to a study published Wednesday

in the journal Nature.


The previous estimate was 400 billion
trees and that rough count was based on
satellite images peering down from
space. Crowther and colleagues used
429,775 ground-based measurements
along with satellite measurements and
computer models to get a more accurate
figure.
These things really dominate our planet, Crowther said. They are the most
prominent organisms on our planet and
there are 3 trillion of them.
But Earth used to be covered with far
more trees. Using computer models,
Crowther and colleagues estimated that
before human civilization Earth had
about 5.6 trillion trees. So the number of
trees on Earth has been chopped nearly in
half.
Crowther mostly blames people. His

study found that 15 billion trees are cut


down each year by people, with another 5
billion trees replanted. Thats a net loss of
10 billion trees a year. At that rate, all of
Earths trees will be gone in about 300
years.
Humans are diminishing that huge
population on such a global scale,
Crowther said.
Nearly 1.4 trillion of Earths trees are in
tropical and subtropical forests, but thats
also where the rate of forest loss is the
highest, the study found.
So if there are so many trees on the

Migrant tempers fray


as Hungary blocking
trains for second day
By Shawn Pogatchnik
and Pablo Gorondi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUDAPEST, Hungary Tempers flared


among the thousands trapped in a makeshift
refugee camp in the heart of Budapest on
Wednesday as Hungary played hardball with
its unwelcome visitors for a second day,
blocking train ticket-clutching migrants from
traveling deeper into Europe.
The migrants, who have swamped every
nook and cranny of public space outside the
citys Keleti train station, threatened to walk
the 105 miles (170 kilometers) to the Austrian
border if police dont let them board trains to
their desired destinations in Austria and
Germany.
I will walk the whole way if I must,
declared 28-year-old Ahmed Shamoun, who
deserted Syrias army three months ago, leaving nine brothers and eight sisters behind in
Damascus. I could pay a taxi 500 euros

($550) to take me to Austria, but the police


might stop me. I could wait here forever
before Hungary lets me take the train.
Hungary tantalizingly opened the way
Monday, allowing more than 1,000 migrants
to pack westbound trains and inspiring a
migrant surge to the capital before it withdrew the option 24 hours later. The question
of how to defuse the human gridlock in
Hungary is set to dominate meetings in
Brussels on Thursday between EU leaders
and Hungarys anti-immigrant prime minister,
Viktor Orban.
Hungary, which for months had permitted
most applicants to head west after short
bureaucratic delays, now says it wont let
more groups deeper into the European Union
and has cited EU backing for the move.
Police blocking migrants from entering the
capitals main international train hub also
stopped them from marching around the station, sparking scenes of anger but no violence.

REUTERS

Migrants, hoping to cross into Hungary, walk along a railway track outside the village of Horgos
in Serbia, toward the border it shares with Hungary.
Migrants are not entitled to move freely
within the European Union even after entering Hungary, government spokesman Zoltan
Kovacs told the Associated Press.
The tent city outside Keleti has steadily
grown to an estimated 3,000 migrants camped
out on the concrete plaza and subway
entrances. Men sleep tightly packed together,
using backpacks for pillows, as young children play in their midst, coloring with crayons
or swerving around the carpet of bodies on tri-

cycles. Rumors in shouted Arabic spread


quickly, fueling surges of excitement and fury
as people are told that the train station soon
will reopen for migrants, or that police are
about to attack and detain them.
Conditions around the transportation hub
have grown increasingly squalid despite the
efforts of volunteers distributing water, food,
medicine and disinfectants. Local restaurants
demand cash to let migrants use their restrooms.

Masked men kidnap 18 Turkish workers in Iraqi capital


By Qassimi Abdul-Zahra
and Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Masked men in military


uniforms kidnapped 18 Turkish citizens in
Baghdad early Wednesday, bundling them
into several SUVs and speeding away in a
brazen operation that laid bare serious security gaps in the heavily defended city.
Iraqi and Turkish officials said the 18 are
employed by Nurol Insaat, a Turkish construction company contracted to build a sports
complex in the sprawling Shiite district of
Sadr City. The kidnappers stormed the construction site, where the workers were sleeping in caravans, breaking down doors and disarming the guards before taking the workers
away, they said.
The Iraqi officials said an Iraqi national was
kidnapped along with the Turks.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi
blamed organized crime for the kidnapping,
but did not elaborate.

Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Tanju


Bilgic said those kidnapped included 14
workers, three engineers and one accountant.
He said the kidnappers specifically targeted
Turkish nationals, picking them out from the
rest and leaving behind workers from other
countries.
The Iraqi authorities for the time being do
not have information on how the incident
occurred or who captured them, Turkish
Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus
told reporters.
In Baghdad, Interior Ministry spokesman
Saad Maan told the Associated Press that
authorities are investigating the incident.
Neither the identity nor the motives of the
kidnappers were immediately known, though
both criminal gangs and the Islamic State
group both have kidnapped foreigners in the
past.
The sports complex appears to be nearly
complete. A sign outside says it includes a
30,000-seat soccer stadium, a track and field
facility and a 50-room hotel.

Turkey recently began launching airstrikes


against the Islamic State group in Syria and
allowing U.S. warplanes to use bases in
southeastern Turkey to strike the Sunni
extremist group.
It launched a simultaneous air campaign in
northern Iraq against the Kurdistan Workers
Party, or PKK, a Kurdish militant group.
Islamic State militants seized 49 diplomatic

staff and family members from the Turkish


consulate in Mosul when they captured the
northern Iraqi city in June 2014. The group
held them for three months before releasing
them unharmed. Turkish officials have suggested but never formally confirmed
that the release was secured in exchange for
Islamic State prisoners held in Turkey.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks rebounded Wednesday, recovering a significant


portion of their losses from the day earlier. Investors remain on edge after the latest market plunge, which was triggered
by more signs of slowing growth in

The market still has a lot of ground to
make up following last weeks major
declines.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 293.03 points, or 1.8 percent, to

points the day before. The Standard &

Tax preparation company H&R Block
was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500,
rising $2.47, or 7.5 percent, to $35.42.
The company reported a smaller-thanexpected loss and announced a $3.5 billion stock buyback program.
The market has been bouncing around
sharply the last few weeks following
signs of weakness in China and uncertainty over when the Federal Reserve
will begin raising interest rates. Tripledigit moves in the Dow have been an
almost daily occurrence in the past
month.
Investors should expect more volatil-

ity, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Janney Montgomery
Scott. The market needs to work
through this correction, and that could
take weeks, or maybe months.
While China remains a dominant force
in traders minds, investors are now turning their attentions toward the U.S.
A private survey showed that U.S.
businesses added jobs at a steady pace
last month, with construction and manufacturing showing solid gains. The payroll processor ADP said businesses added
190,000 jobs last month, up from
177,000 in July, but below a six-month
high set in June of 231,000.
The ADP report comes two days
before Fridays August jobs report.
Economists are forecasting that U.S.
employers created 220,000 jobs in
August, and that the unemployment rate
fell to 5.2 percent.
It will be the last jobs report Federal
Reserve policymakers have before their
next policy meeting later this month.
Some economists expect the Fed to raise
interest rates for the first time in close to
a decade after the meeting.
China remains in focus across financial
markets. The Shanghai composite index
opened more than 4 percent lower, but
turned positive by midday and eventually
ended the day down just 0.2 percent. The
volatile trading led some analysts to suspect Beijing was intervening to support
share prices before a two-day holiday.

New collars monitor pets for pain, problems


By Sue Manning
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES You can use wearables


with GPS to keep track of wandering dogs.
Others help you track animals physical activity.
Now, two companies have the latest in
wearable pet technology: collars that can
check for a fever, monitor pulse and respiration, and even indicate if your pet is in pain.
PetPace,
based
in
Burlington,
Massachusetts, has a medical collar that can
measure a dogs vital signs and other information to look for signs of pain. Irregularities
trigger a notice by phone, text or email.
Voyce, created by I4C Innovations Inc., and
based in Chantilly, Virginia, has a consumer
version that tracks similar information. It also

has a Voyce Pro that is available to veterinarians to prescribe for pets recovering from surgery or long-term illness.
Both smart collars can be programmed to
monitor for a pets specific illness. Dogs and
cats over 8 pounds can use them.
Kenneth Herring, who lives outside Detroit,
uses PetPace to monitor his 5-year-old dog,
Jack, as part of a test case to see how effective
the collar is in helping detect epilepsy.
When Jack has a seizure, he keels over on
his side, drools and may lose consciousness,
Herring said. So far, his twitching limbs and
lack of motion have been enough to trigger an
alert, and PetPace plans to use what they learn
from Jack to tailor the collar to other dogs
with epilepsy.
Michelle
Saltzman,
of
Bedford,

Massachusetts, uses PetPace for Lucas, a 10year-old beagle she adopted in October. Lucas
has a heart murmur and suffers from fainting
spells, and the monitor allows Saltzman to
leave the dog home alone without worrying.
PetPaces medical monitoring collar came
out three years ago and has been tested on

Report: Some top baby monitors lack basic security features


By Bree Fowler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Several of the most popular Internet-connected baby monitors lack
basic security features, making them vulnerable to even the most basic hacking attempts,
according to a new report from a cybersecurity firm.
The possibility of an unknown person
watching their babys every move is a frightening thought for many parents who have

come to rely on the devices to keep an eye on


their little ones. In addition, a hacked camera
could provide access to other Wi-Fi-enabled
devices in a persons home, such as a personal computer or security system.
The research released Wednesday by
Boston-based Rapid7 Inc. looks at nine baby
monitors made by eight different companies.
They range in price from $55 to $260.
The cameras are often mounted over a
babys crib or another place where they spend
a large amount of time. They work by filming

the child, then sending that video stream to a


personal website or an app on a smartphone or
tablet. Some of the cameras also feature noise
or motion detectors and alert parents when the
baby makes a sound or moves.
Theres a certain leap of faith youre taking
with your child when you use one of these,
says Mark Stanislav, a senior security consultant at Rapid7 and one of the reports authors.
The Rapid7 researchers found serious security problems and design flaws in all of the
cameras they tested.

Wildcats keen on future


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

26 graduates

Losing over two dozen players from one


year to the next is never an optimum way to
build a program, but Woodside coach Justin
Andrews believes introducing a ton of new
starters and players may actually be beneficial.
Were going to be breaking in a lot of
new starters this year. Last season, we had
over 30 seniors. Were losing a lot of
starters, but were bringing back a lot of
guys who played a lot, Andrews said.
These guys have completely, totally
answered the call. They see the openings
and they are competing relentlessly for the
spots. As weird as it sounds, its working
in our favor, how hungry these guys are. We
wont know for sure until we play a game,
but everything Ive seen so far, these guys
are going to step in and play very well.
Andrews biggest decisions will be in the
offensive backfield as the Wildcats need to
replace their starting quarterback and bellcow running back, who both graduated. The
good news is, Andrews already has the
answers. The bad news is, he wont know
exactly what he has until the season starts.
Scudder Stockwell will be the new signal
caller. He served as Robert Wangs backup
last season and, while he did see some
action at quarterback, he spent most of the
2014 season at defensive end.
Stockwell did manage to appear in seven
games at quarterback, completing 17 of 28
passes for 167 yards and a touchdown.
Despite his relative lack of experience,
Andrews saw enough from Stockwell last
season to feel comfortable in naming him
the starter for this season.
In our last game (of 2014), our starting
quarterback went down really early in the
first quarter. [Stockwell] came in and played
wonderfully. He jumped in that M-A game
and the offense didnt miss a beat. Hes been
a really good leader. Hes picked up the
offense well, Andrews said. Hes bigger
(than Wang). A more powerful arm. Weve
done some things with our offense to make
reads easier so there is no indecisiveness for

TKA retools

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

The Kings Academy ran the table in


Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division play
last year. Even with such a pristine performance, running back Maurice Washington was
just getting warmed up.
As a freshman in 2014, Washington gave
the Knights a ground option to balance out a
revered air attack. While senior quarterback
Dominic Sabel surpassed
the 2,000-yard passing
mark, Washington paced
TKA with 707 rushing
yards on just 77 carries,
averaging 9.2 yards per

Now a sophomore,

Mike Johnson skill player of a Knights
team that graduated 26 players from last years
Lake Division championship team, including
Sabel, along with every skill player to handle
the ball in 2014, save Washington.
I have not been around a lot of teams where
you lose 26 seniors, TKA head coach Mike
Johnson said. Thats a big number. But what
I do have is a good high school coaching
staff. We have a lot of experienced coaches.
If anyone can retool the Knights with their
massive turnover, its Mike Johnson. The second-year coach proved that last season in his
first year at a high school helm. Prior to his
taking over the program, TKA had recently
been a middle-of-the-road .500 team, at best.
That all changed when Mike Johnson
brought his wealth of coaching experience to
the Sunnyvale school. While he had never run
a high school team previous to 2014, he
brought with him plenty of NCAA Division I
and NFL experience, including stints with the
San Diego Chargers, Atlanta Falcons,

Sione Halaapiapi, is tasked with replacing last years standout back David Teu.

the foul line without signaling the
bullpen in the ninth inning,
Clayton Kershaw knew he was safe
to finish off the Giants.
Mattingly wanted to check on
his ace, who after rolling through
the first five innings, gave up two
two-out hits.
Kershaw assured Mattingly he
was just fine and he proved it,
striking out Marlon Byrd to close
out a 2-1 victory Wednesday night
that increased the Dodgers NL

Chase Utley hit a go-ahead homer
in the sixth to complete a threegame sweep of the Giants.

Im sure theyre happy now,


Giants second baseman Kelby
Tomlinson said, but hopefully we
can put it together and be the ones
celebrating at the end.
The second-place Giants fifth
straight loss left them facing their
largest division deficit of the season. All three defeats to the Dodgers
were by one run and they have
scored just 11 runs during their skid.
Stranger things have happened, said Giants manager Bruce
Bochy, who was ejected for the
second straight game. Trust me.

CHICAGO Lance Briggs, a seven-time


Pro Bowl linebacker who helped the Chicago

Briggs said Wednesday afternoon during
CSN Chicagos telecast of the Cubs game

ready to call it a career.
He said he plans to submit his retirement
papers soon, although he did not completely shut the door on playing again for the
right offer.

Briggs had 16 interceptions, 15 sacks

He played in just eight games in 2014,

Gray gives up milestone HR


to Pujols, As lose to Angels
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Sonny Grays teammates


had just given him a nice boost with three
runs in the bottom of the first after the
Angels put up a four-spot in the top half.
Then a healthy Albert Pujols stepped in for
a mighty swing in the second, hitting a tworun drive to make him one of four players
with 10 35-homer seasons in their first 15
years, leading Los Angeles past the AL ERA
leader and the Oakland Athletics 9-4 on
Wednesday.
I gave up four and then we came back and
put up three and then to give up two back
there in the second, it kind of took the air
right out of us, Gray said.
Josh Phegley hit a two-run homer in the
bottom of the first when the As pulled within 4-3, then Brett Lawrie hit his 15th leading
off the eighth against reliever Joe Smith.
Oakland has homered in a season-high nine
straight games, hitting 12 total.
Pujols had an RBI single in the first
inning, then hit his 555th homer in the second that tied Dominican Republic countryman Manny Ramirez for 14th on the all-time
list. He joined Hall of Famers Willie Mays
(10) and Mike Schmidt (11) and Yankees
slugger Alex Rodriguez (12) to have reached
35 home runs 10 or more times in their first
15 seasons.
Its something I dont look for every
year, I just try to be healthy and do whatever
it takes to help our organization win,
Pujols said. I got my legs back healthy and
I felt great in spring training. ... Manny is
probably one of the best right-handed hitters that ever played this game. Hes pretty
amazing. To be on the same page with him
and along the way with so many great hitters
that Ive passed this year, its awesome. Its
something I dont try to get caught up too

GIANTS
Continued from page 11
Kershaw (12-6) beat the Giants for the first
time in four starts this season. He allowed one
run and six hits and walked one on a career
high-tying 132 pitches for his third complete
game of the season.
Kershaw leads the National League in
strikeouts, surpassing his career-best of 248
set in 2011. His 15 strikeouts tied a career
high after having 14 against the Cubs in his
previous start.
Kershaw created suspense for a crowd of
41,648 that was on its feet in the ninth. With
two outs, the Giants put the tying and goahead runs on base after Matt Duffy and Buster
Posey had consecutive singles. Kershaw
pumped his arms after striking out Byrd.
Kershaw became the first NL pitcher to
strike out 250 batters in a season since Tim
Lincecum of the Giants fanned 261 in 2009.
Mike Leake (9-7) gave up two runs and five
hits in seven innings, struck out three and
walked none. He is winless in five starts since
the Giants acquired him from Cincinnati on
July 30.

Fenway Park bans


chewing tobacco
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON A ban on smokeless tobacco


products at Fenway Park and other Boston
sports venues was approved Wednesday by
the City Council.
Boston becomes the second city after San
Francisco to approve such a ban. Los
Angeles also is weighing a prohibition on
smokeless tobacco, commonly called dip,
chew or snuff.
The council unanimously approved the
ban proposed this summer by Mayor Marty
Walsh, who will have to sign the measure
before it takes effect next April. The ban
also has the backing of the Boston Red Sox
and former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a
mouth cancer survivor.
The ban prohibits the use of smokeless
tobacco on all ballfields where professional, collegiate, high school or amateur
sports are played. Violators will face a $250
fine. Ban signs will have to be posted in
dugouts, bullpens, training rooms, locker
rooms, press boxes, television and radio
broadcast booths, and bathrooms throughout the sports venues.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
applauded Boston for setting what it called a
powerful example that all Major League
Baseball teams should follow.
From coast to coast, the momentum is
building to get tobacco out of baseball for
kids, the players and the future, the organization said in a statement. The message is
clear: Our national pastime should be about
promoting a healthy and active lifestyle,
not a deadly and addictive product.
Public health officials rallying behind the
proposal have cited the high rate of youths
still using smokeless tobacco product,
while cigarette use is dropping. They point
to evidence that the products contribute to
oral, pancreatic, and esophageal cancers and
other diseases.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Feeling tight, Serena moves forward in Slam bid


By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The enormity of what is at


stake for Serena Williams at the U.S. Open
the first true Grand Slam in tennis in more than
a quarter of a century hit her Wednesday.
That, she said, is why her play was so
uneven in the second round at Flushing
Meadows, despite facing a qualifier ranked
only 110th.
And its why, after the 10 double-faults, two
dozen other unforced errors and an all-around
sloppy first set, Williams got pointers from
coach Patrick Mouratoglou and headed
straight to a practice court to put in work,
hoping to repair what plagued her during a 76 (5), 6-3 victory over Kiki Bertens of the
Netherlands.
Today, I was a little tight, Williams said.
I think it showed.
Sure did. She got broken early. She doublefaulted four times yes, four in one game.
She didnt manage to earn a break point
against the strong-serving Bertens until the
10th game. Williams trailed 5-3 in the first
set, finally broke for 5-all, but then needed to

Following hiatus,
GK Howard wont
start vs. Mexico
By Ian Quillen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Tim Howard returned to


the U.S. soccer team knowing hed be playing
behind Brad Guzan at least
through mid-October.
Just dont call the
2014 World Cup standout
a backup.
After coach Jurgen
Klinsmann Wednesday
said Guzan would remain
his starting goalkeeper
barring injury
Tim Howard through a critical playoff
match against Mexico, Howard refuted the
suggestion hed view himself differently.
Never been a backup, Howard said. I
think thats a mentality. I work my tail off
every day. I know what it means to compete
at the highest level, to have a certain level
of excellence, and I do that. Ive never been
a backup, I never will be.
The 36-year-old Howard has started for the

See HOWARD, Page 23

erase a 4-0 deficit in the tiebreaker.


All attributable, at least in part, to thinking
about what she is trying to accomplish these
two weeks.
She has won the past four major titles, a
streak that began at last years U.S. Open, and
21 overall. If she can win five more matches
at Flushing Meadows starting in the third
round against Bethanie Mattek-Sands in an
all-U.S. matchup Friday Williams would
complete the first calendar-year Grand Slam
in tennis since Steffi Graf in 1988.
Also on the line for Williams: A 22nd major
singles championship would equal Graf for the
most in the Open era, which began in 1968,
and second-most in history behind Margaret
Courts 24. Plus, Williams is trying to
become the first woman since Chris Evert in
1975-78 to win four consecutive U.S. Opens.
Right now, shes on a mission to get a
record, said Mattek-Sands, a 30-year-old wildcard entry, and Im here, playing my game.
Up and down all afternoon in Arthur Ashe
Stadium, the No. 1-seeded Williams had
trouble finding her game against Bertens,
who only once made it as far as the third
round in 14 majors.

On one point, Williams hit a 125 mph ace.


On the next, she double-faulted. On one, she
smacked a swinging forehand volley winner,
bringing Mouratoglou to his feet in the
stands. On the next, she pushed nearly the
same shot wide with Bertens out of position.
Perhaps Williams was a tad rusty. In the
first round, Williams opponent, Vitalia
Diatchenko, hurt her left foot while running sprints before the match and could
barely move. Williams won 32 of 37
points in that one, which lasted about a
half-hour until Diatchenko stopped playing while down 6-0, 2-0.
Williams complained earlier this season
about a sore right elbow, and in one of her only
two losses in 52 matches this season, at
Toronto in August, she double-faulted 12 times.
That defeat came against Swiss teen Belinda
Bencic, who is seeded 12th in New York and
could face Williams in the quarterfinals. First,
though, Bencic will play Williams older sister, Venus, in the third round after both pulled
out three-set victories Wednesday night.
The 35-year-old Venus, the U.S. Open
champion in 2000-01, got past Irina Falconi
6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2, while the 18-year-old

LITKE

stages Football Safety Clinics for Moms,


trying to convince parents to let their kids
play football in the face of mounting evidence that players as young as 7 suffer hits
to the head every bit as traumatic as those
suffered by high school and adult players.
Like Omalu, Dr. Robert Cantu, co-director
of the Boston University Center for the
Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, has
been pushing back against the leagues public-relations blitz for years. Three years ago,
around the time researchers found CTE in 49
of the 50 brains of deceased NFL players
they autopsied, he co-authored a book laying
out the case for kids to delay playing contact
sports like tackle football and hockey before
age 14. He was confident that with enough
information, parents would come around.
They havent understood the dangers their
kids are being subjected to, he said at the
time. Once they do and it wont happen
in weeks, or months, maybe even years
theyll demand changes.
Concussion has the chance to speed up
the timeline. Its was made by Sony Pictures,
which unlike several other Hollywood studios (Disney, Fox and Universal) doesnt
have direct ties to the NFL and wont worry
about retribution. It will spend plenty to
promote the film and the timing couldnt be
more fortuitous.
In addition to the box-office power of its
stars besides Smith and Brooks, it features Paul Reiser (as Pellman) and Luke

Continued from page 11


That comes as little surprise to Omalus
mentor and colleague, played by Albert
Brooks. He tells Omalu: Youre going to
war with a corporation that owns a day of the
week.
Indeed. The NFL has never been more profitable or popular in terms of TV ratings, and
the film describes the sometimes-lethal,
long-term implications of repeated blows to
the head chronicled several times before
in magazines, books and documentaries, as
well as court depositions. We already know
how it turns out.
But distilling all those statistics and case
studies into a dramatic battle of good vs. evil
will make it that much tougher to ever root
for Goodell and his enablers again.
This is most of the same crew, after all,
that installed Dr. Elliot Pellman, a rheumatologist, as the longtime chairman of the
leagues Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Committee and didnt know or else didnt
care how casually he dismissed all the data
linking CTE to dementia and a host of other
dangers.
Its the same crew thats agreed to pay
more than $900 million to settle a concussion lawsuit by former players, yet still

Serena Williams celebrates during her 7-6 (5),


6-3 win over Kiki Bertens Wednesday.
Bencic saved three match points, cried during
a changeover and argued with the chair umpire
en route to coming back to beat Misaki Doi 57, 7-6 (3), 6-3.
Wilson (as Goodell) Sony will release it
on Christmas Day with Oscar consideration
in mind and hoping to take advantage of a
holiday crowd. More to the point, instead of
bumping up against the start of the NFL season, it will hit theaters at a juncture when the
injuries and who-knows-how many concussions are piling up.
Just as important, it will name real people
and show real NFL teams.
Theres no way to tell the story without
showing real football, without showing real
football players, to get the texture and the
understanding and the tremendous violence
inside the game, director Peter Landesman
said in an interview earlier this week. So it
became an imperative for us to be able to do
it. What I was told by the studio was, Youre
protected. Were behind you. This will be
fine.
Landesman said in another interview that
he didnt set out to make an anti-football
film. But as far as the NFLs reaction, he
added, I dont really care. Their feelings are
not my concern. ...
As long as the movie does its job it
entertains, it thrills and it informs and people walk away from watching this film
knowing something new and having the
experience of being inside the shoes of a
heroic man, thats the only thing I care
about. I cant worry about the consequences
of what I do, he added, thats not my job.
Your move, commissioner.

Love Fool, Super Huey,


Beaufunk and Big Bang Beat
Headline Millbraes Totally
Rockin Festival
Every Labor Day weekend, normally tranquil downtown Millbrae
is transformed into the Bay Areas entertainment hot spot for the
citys big annual shindig the Art & Wine Festival. The beat goes
on at this years festival, September 5-6, with a wide-ranging musical mix performed on stage and street by ten big-name bands.
Its a musical line-up that will touch your heart and keep your toes
tapping all weekend long.
You may just fall for Lovefool with their boundless energy and
mind-blowing set list of danceable hits from the 70s to today.
The dressed-to-impress quartet will make you want to dance like
nobodys watching and love like youve never been hurt.
Next up, the Bay Areas rhythm kings BeaufunK will keep
you grooving to the funky beat. These funk extremists have
perfected their craft with the best of the best, including their new-

est member, lead singer Michael Jeffries, who was once the Tower
of Power frontman. Come prepared to get down and get funky with
the 6-piece groove gurus.
A refreshing treat for every palate, Key Lime Pie will kick off
the festival at noon on Saturday. Their special recipe of rock and
funk includes a spicy Latin kick that will get the party going with
an unstoppable rhythm section, piano, organ, shredding guitar and
beautiful harmonies.
Do you feel the power? Thats the power of Super Huey, a 7-piece
Huey Lewis & the News Experience. Dig out your Ray-Ban shades
and linen jacket for this exhilarating trip Back In Time to the
feel-good 80s. Let the Huey sound-alike lead singer take you back
to those carefree days when, despite a potentially regrettable
haircut, you had some cool dance moves and you werent afraid to
use them.
Big Bang Beat brings old-school soul to life with the unstoppable energy of four female singers, spot-on choreography and an
amazing horn section. Members of this surrealistic soul sensation have played with Santana, the Tubes, Sylvester and the Zasu
Pitts Memorial Orchestra. Come dance before the soul pros to 60s
Motown, 70s funk and chart-toppers from the 80s 90s and today.
Ease into Sunday with the smooth Cuban grooves of Fito Reinoso.
Together with his orchestra, Fito plays a vibrant mix of modern
Havana tunes and authentic traditional Cuban classics in the style
of son-montuno, cha-cha-cha and bolero. The infectious rhythm of
the drums, keyboard, horns and beautiful vocals will melt all your
cares away.
Visitors to the festivals popular Hope Haven Craft Beer Tasting
Tent and Classically Cool Car Show area will be treated to the
rockin rhythms of local rock faves Loudin Cleer, a 6-piece Bay
Area rock cover band that suits the rumble of the souped-up hot
rods, muscle cars and classic cars perfectly. Enjoy their old-school
rock and roll hits from the 50s to the 90s on both Saturday and
Sunday. Be sure to visit the car show on both days, as the display of
cars will change.
As you wander among the art booths and copious eats and treats
of the festival, youll come across amazing musicians performing
on the street.

milk protein fiber. The soft fiber is PH balanced and extra gentle on
the skin. Choose from monkeys, cows, Captain America, Batman
and Hello Kitty. There are also a few hats for adults, including a San
Francisco Giants Mohawk hat. After Dana Spanierman returned
from a three-month trip to Thailand, she started her own jewelry
company. She combines sterling silver with diverse shells from
Thailands exotic waters. Spaniermans ocean-inspired jewelry
is a reflection of her love of Thailands unique culture, gorgeous
landscapes and welcoming people. Jerry Limons Estilo Clothing
line celebrates music, culture and an urban lifestyle. The talented

graphic designer was inspired by the eclectic artists and musicians


on Berkeleys Telegraph Avenue. Men, women and children from all
over the United States enjoy his edgy, screen-printed fashions. Lori
Vanderhurst notes that her jewelry line often has been described as
upscale hippy. Her bohemian-chic jewelry features oxidized copper,
sterling silver, sea glass, hand-blown glass and gemstones. The artist
wraps, twists and hammers metals into unusual bolos, pendants,
rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Sculpture and Mixed Media Speaking of jewelry, its time to


organize your treasures and prevent them from tangling! Micki
Wong-Sislows Izzy Jewel Box was selected by Oprah Magazine
for the O LIST in March of 2011. Her hanging wooden boxes come
in three sizes and feature several different layouts. Sislow uses
15 background patterns of Japanese papers and raffia weave. A
hinged glass door on each box keeps jewelry dust free. Virginia
Jennings recycles old wood-framed windows and transforms them
into mesmerizing hanging gardens. After painting the frames in
marbled colors, she decorates the glass with pretty hydrangeas and
garden scenes. Looking for a statement piece? Lance MacKensie
makes incredible art from aluminum wire and recycled watch
parts. Popular themes include motorcycles, hearts, animals and
cars. Each mixed-media wall hanging is framed in glass. Visit
Kerry Williams for shimmering glass pumpkins, home accessories
and hanging vases. The artist uses a pulled-color technique and
layers up to 13 transparent colors. Her beautiful pieces make
excellent holiday gifts, and she uses a rich autumnal color palette.

Functional Art Just in time for the upcoming holidays, Jan Selby
combines her penchant for colorful fabrics with her exceptional
sense of design. Her grandmother taught her to sew when she
was a little girl, and she made most of her own clothes throughout
her childhood. Today, Selby sews an array of elegant, vintage and
modern aprons, table runners, napkins and kitchen accessories.
Encourage your little one to take a break from TV and computer
games with a soft fabric book by Arlyne and Richard Julao.
Their colorful creations, which are made from original patterns,
teach children 6 months to 6 years old the alphabet, colors,
shapes, numbers, opposites, how to tie shoes and more. All books
are machine washable, and they make excellent gifts. Pick up
household clutter with a sturdy wooden coat rack by Martha
Rogers. She sells all sorts of whimsical designs for children and
adults. In addition to organizing coats and sweatshirts, the racks


are strong enough to hold school backpacks and purses. Spark
some intelligent conversation on your back patio with a fire pit by
Patrick Moran. He and his family members have a passion for
wine and outdoor living. They design rustic fire pits made from oak
wine barrels, which are accented with glass and sturdy metals.

Fine Art David Forsters breathtaking photographs of majestic


canyons, babbling brooks, icy glaciers, glorious sunsets and
ominous skies are simply astounding. He travels all over the United
States to capture natures most awe-inspiring scenery. Hunter
Lowers splashy, abstract-figurative paintings are reminiscent
of his childhood love of science fiction, fantasy and mythology.
He enjoys creating characters and capturing imaginary worlds
through his application of acrylic paint. Lower drips and squeezes
paint on the ground. He chooses colors of vibrant splendor
or subdued reverence to bring his figures to life. Sunny Napa
Valley vineyards, foggy San Francisco marinas, tranquil lakes
and dusty Arizona canyons Gene Gracey travels all over the
West Coast to photograph stunning landscapes. In addition to
West Coast landmarks, Gracey has knack for turning simple
subjects butterflies, birds and exotic flowers into magnificent
works of art. David P.H. Wong began painting at the age of 8 in
China. He was one of the first Chinese artists to paint with oils
in the traditional Western style. However, because the Chinese
government controlled all artistic endeavors including artists
subjects Wong fled to Hong Kong. He later moved to the United
States, where he became known for his vivid watercolor paintings
of koi ponds, people and water scenes. The artist uses a palette
knife to apply bold colors.

Millbrae Art & Wine Festival 2015 5

Millbrae Festival Celebrates


45 Years with Ever-Expanding
Menu of Fabulous Food
In the summer of 1970, Jimmy Hendrix and The Doors headlined
at the worlds largest rock festival on the bucolic Isle of Wight.
That same summer, the quiet San Francisco suburb of Millbrae
held its first art and wine festival, which now attracts over 100,000
attendees.
This September 5-6, forty-five years later, food offerings at the
Millbrae Art & Wine Festival will still harken back to the early
days, with hot dogs, popcorn and lemonade. But reflecting the Bay
Areas evolving palette, the festival will offer global specialties
stretching from the American South to Vietnam to the Middle East.
The Key limemarinated fried calamari at Gourmet Faire
comes with a lime-watercress pesto, and the fries are dressed up
with crabmeat or fresh garlic.
Hot & Sizzling Grill serves up authentic Greek, with delicately
seasoned lamb or chicken tucked into pita bread or atop fluffy rice
and drizzled with zesty yogurt-garlic tzatziki sauce. They also offer
handmade falafel sandwiches and plump sausages.
San Brunos Vietnamese restaurant Saigon BBQ has added a
new dish called rice with 5 items. Large enough for two people,
it includes shrimp, chicken wings, barbecued pork, barbecued
chicken and imperial rolls. Their traditional bhn m sandwiches
on baguettes (a remnant of French colonial times) are filled with

Clothes washer, toilet and rainwater harvesting


rebates; organic gardening and water-wise
landscaping workshops; tips; guides and free
water conserving fixtures.

Thanks for recycling at the Art & Wine


Festival and for conserving water!

barbecued chicken or pork, pickled carrots, cucumber, cilantro,


and jalapeos. Cold spring rolls feature shrimp and steamed pork
and lettuce. And any combination of their meats can be served over
fried rice or garlic noodles.
Sonoma Teriyaki offers tastes of Japan and China. Their teriyaki chicken is served over rice with vegetables or in a sandwich,
and their chow mein is vegetarian. Delicious Foods does its own
take on Asian cuisine, with teriyaki chicken on a stick or in a bowl
with rice and veggies, and stir-fried egg noodles with veggies.
The barbecued chicken and pork skewers at Thai Stick are a
delicate balance of sweet and sour with a touch of garlic. Theyre
served with noodles or rice, in a bowl or a wrap.
The Tamale Factory is a celebration of traditional Mexican
cooking, with tamales made by hand with fresh masa dough and
filled with seasoned pork, chicken or cheese and jalapeos. Other
offerings include tacos, quesadillas, burritos and taco salad. Traditional drinks include horchata and hibiscus tea.
Millbraes own Leonardos Deli Cafa fixture at the event
since the mid-80ssources its sausages from local butcher Papes
Meats. Their Italian pork sausages are sweet, with fennel and
herbs, while their Polish pork sausages are just a little spicy. They
also offer a lemony grilled chicken breast sandwich. All are served
on sourdough buns with optional grilled peppers and onions.
Before wraps were called wraps, they were called gyros (in
Greece) and falafels (in the Middle East). Dukes Wrap Delight
specializes in both, with beef-and-lamb gyros drizzled with creamy
tzatziki sauce and the vegetarian chickpea balls drizzled with
tahini. They also offer the original American wrapPhilly cheesesteaksas well as sausages and curly ribbon French fries.

crab cakes, cheesesteaks, sausages, burgers and their famous
hand-dipped foot-long corn dogs. Or skip right to a meal-sized dessert of funnel cakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
Mike Hutslars smoked pork and beef sausages come in at a
hefty half-pound, made even heftier when topped with grilled onions and sauerkraut. His curly fries and fried zucchini make tasty
accompaniments.
Meat lovers and vegetarians alike find satisfaction at Aroma Catering, offering tri-tip sandwiches, turkey legs, burgers, hot dogs
and calamari, as well as Portobello mushroom sandwiches, fried
artichokes and zucchini, and garlic fries.
Offering both hot and cold walking-around food is new vendor

corn and baked potatos are served up at Ear-Good Corn Roaster.
And irresistible kettle corn and refreshing fruit smoothies can be
found at Olde Tyme Kettle Corn.
New on the dessert scene are the freezing-cold novelties called
Dippin Dots. Theyre made by chilling ice cream to minus 41
degrees and squeezing it though a mold to create tiny frozen orbs.
So cold they dont stick together or melttill theyre in your mouth.
Flavors include rainbow ice, cookies and cream, cookie dough, mint
chocolate and banana split.
Frozen Fantasies sells not-as-cold but equally as tempting
chocolate-dipped frozen-fruit kabobs and ice cream bars and fruit
smoothies.
Kurlander Soft Serves frozen yogurt is soft from the start with
its signature up-swirled form. Play it safe with chocolate, strawberry or mocha java, go exotic with pia colada, or throw caution to

AWESOME Kids Amusements


in PLAYLAND:
Thrill-of-a-Lifetime Zip-line, Wild and Wacky Waterballerz,
Bungee Jump, Climbing Wall.
Carnival Rides, Face Painting and Temporary Tattoos
For endless adventure, sheer excitement and an unbeatable entertainment value with activities the whole family will enjoy, head
for the action-packed Kids Playland at the Millbrae Art & Wine
Festival, September 5-6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Broadway. Located at the festivals north end, at Broadway and Meadow Glen, the
amusements for youngsters of all ages are enthralling and endless!
Let the excitement begin with our AWESOMELY FUN ZIP-LINE!
Zip-liners are safety harnessed, then climb a spiral staircase up
to the crows nest 28 feet in the air. They are then attached to the
zipline by our trained team via a redundant safety pulley and prepared for launch. Two at a time can zip side by side so not only will
they enjoy the ride but also shriek in unison while in flight. Flying
through the air reaching over 20 MPH they approach the specially
designed power pack decelerator and come to a gradual stop. The
smiles, laughter, and squeals say it all its a real rush; the thrill
of a lifetime!
For a real scream, you gotta try Waterballerz! Participants climb
into a giant, clear inflatable ball which is filled with fresh air. The
the ball is zipped up, which completely seals it, and they enter an
inflatable pool that is 24 by 24 feet and literally walk (and roll) on
water. Run, jump, bounce, walk inside the balls on water. As many
as six balls can be in the pool at one time. This exciting attraction
is a total blast and always a hit!
The Zip-line (at Taylor) and Waterballerz (at La Cruz), are separate from the Kids Playland area which is at Meadow Glen.
Are you ready to jump high into the sky? Flip around and catch
some massive air? With Mobile Rocks incredibly fun Quad Bungee,
up to 4 people can be jumping at one time. Flips are fun and easy
to do. Heights of 20 above the ground can be reached. Parents
get a real kick out of watching their kids have a blast. Try out our
extreme air bouncing equipment to practice stunts or simply for
fun exercise.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy Mobile Rocks gripping 24-foot
Climbing Wall where trained climbing technicians will be available
to show you the ropes. The wall is color coded to assist climbers,
from the youngest to the most advanced, make it to the to the top.
Longtime festival favorite Linda Vogel is hands-down the best
face painter around. She uses a water-based paint that doesnt
stain, offering dozens of unique face painting designs. You can tell
by the line that forms in front that this is one popular booth.
Genial George DOlivo is a kids best friend. His company, Classic Amusements, provides exciting rides, games and concessions
for special events throughout the West. DOlivos well-maintained
equipment, friendly staff and selection of sought-after attractions
have turned the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival into a cant miss
event for families. Bring out the whole family, said DOlivo. Its
the best family entertainment value around. Tickets are $1 a piece
and most of the rides charge 3 tickets. Discounts are available
based on the number of tickets you buy. Unlimited ride all-day
wristbands will also be available for the most hard-core amusement enthusiast.
Kids will go bonkers over the colorful and imposing 100 long
Super Slide. Jump in a burlap sack and shoot down the slide at warp
speed for three lanes of fantastic fun! Your head will be spinning

as you gleefully wind your way through the House of Mirrors, an
amazing, labyrinth-like Mirror Maze.

them like a frog. Take the spinning challenge of Tempest up and

JIM

Wilson is a four-year starter who


has struggled with consistency
throughout his career. He lost the
job twice in 2014, but still had an
edge on senior Kendal Thompson,
who replaced Wilson last season
before suffering a season-ending
knee injury.
Whittingham said the job was
Wilsons to lose at the beginning
of camp and there was never an
indication that he was losing it.
The Utes made it official Monday.
He just continued to play well,
Whittingham said. He played
extremely well at the end of the
season, was the MVP of our bowl
game, played well throughout
spring. Just continued to play
with that poise and confidence all
through fall camp.
Both teams are expected to roll
out run-heavy offenses that dont
require the quarterback to win the
game.
Harbaugh was weaned on physical, run-first offenses at Michigan
in the 80s and had a similar philosophy as coach at San Diego,
Stanford and with the San
Francisco 49ers. Utah running
back Devontae Booker was firstteam All-Pac-12 in 2014 and
Whittingham has said theyll run
Booker as much as he can handle.

Continued from page 12


interesting stuff will be on the
sideline.
Both teams opened fall camp
with questions about their quarterbacks and only one has given fans
a definitive answer.
Harbaugh refused to publicly
name a starter, but says the players
know who it is. Junior Shane
Morris is the lone QB to return to
Michigans roster with starting
experience two games. Senior
Jake Rudock transferred from Iowa
with 25 starts under his belt. He
threw for 2,436 yards with 16
touchdowns and five interceptions
in 2014.
I want both of them going into
this game with the mindset that
theyre one play away or theyre
starting, Harbaugh said. Its the
mindset I always want our quarterback and backup quarterback
going into the game with. If
(keeping Utah in the dark) is a
byproduct of it, well take that as
well.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham
had a different issue. Senior Travis

U.S. at the past two World Cups.
He announced his year-long hiatus
from international play following
the 2014 tournament.
The 30-year-old Guzan moved
into the starting spot during a
stretch that has included surprising exhibition wins over Germany
and the Netherlands, and a 2-1 loss
to Jamaica in Julys CONCACAF
Gold Cup semifinals.
Mexico won that tournament,
forcing an Oct. 10 meeting with
the U.S. for the right to represent
the CONCACAF region at the
2017 Confederations Cup.
Klinsmann cited those high
stakes as a reason not to introduce a
goalkeeping battle, and said he discussed it with Howard beforehand.
Tim accepted that, Klinsmann
said. Now, Its really about getting some consistency with the

players and getting a job done in


October.
Exhibitions against Peru on
Friday and Brazil on Tuesday represent final tuneups before the playoff. Klinsmann did say he may
consider splitting time between
the duo after October.
Klinsmann left former captain
and midfielder Landon Donovan
off the 2014 World Cup roster after
Donovan took four months away
from club and country from
December 2012 to March 2013.
Donovan cited a loss of love for
the sport when he took the break.
He retired at the end of 2014.
Howard says his was more practical, rooted in a need to spend
more time with family and focus
on continuing as the regular
starter for Everton in the English
Premier League.
I never lost that passion,
Howard said of international play.
Ive been excited about this team.
Ive missed it. I took a year out for
my own reasons, for the right reasons, and one of those reasons wasnt because Ive lost any passion.

the Wildcats
Swiss Army knife, a player who has
the ability to play several different
positions all over the field. He
played safety and running back last
year as well. He is also the teams
leading returning receiver after
catching 15 balls for 187 yards.
Nicholas also contributed in 2014
with nine catches for 114 yards.
[Nicholas] is having a phenomenal camp. We have to find a way to
get him on the field, Andrews said.
[Gawle] is a small, shifty guy, but
catches everything that comes his
way. ... Were excited about what he
can do this year.
Andrews other big move comes
at running back where he will have
to replace David Teu, who rushed for
more than 1,300 yards last season.
Andrews plans to use a two-pronged
attack with a pair of juniors
Sione Halaapiapi and Marcellus
Chester-Riley. Halaapiapi saw varsity action as a sophomore last season, rushing for nearly 300 yards
and five touchdowns. ChesterRiley, on the other hand, is moving
up from the frosh-soph team.
Itll be a combination between
[Chester-Riley] and Sione. Count
them as 1A and 1B. Theyll both get
a lot of touches. Its a pretty interesting package the way they complement each other, Andrews said.
[Chester-Riley] is a guy who, if

Now, Mike Johnsons focus is the
mission of raising young men, he
said. And his first group of such
young men stormed into the Central
Coast Section playoffs for just the
fourth time in program history,
earning a promotion to the PAL
Ocean Division.
I thought we did a good job of
coming together as a group, Mike
Johnson said. The kids bought
into some of the changes we made
and I thought we had a successful

While the Knights dont boast
many returning players, the ones
they do return have some serious talent. In addition to Washington, senior Jaret Falkowski is back at inside
linebacker to anchor the defense. As
a junior last season, Falkowski led
TKA with 98 tackles. The 6-3, 225pounder will also join Washington
in the backfield this season.
TKA will have one returning
offensive lineman paving the way
in junior Josiah Fautausi, a 6-6,
250-pound offensive tackle who
also plays the other side of the ball
at defensive end. It will be the first
full varsity season at TKA for

you get the ball anywhere near him,
hes capable of taking it the distance. Hes the most fierce competitor on our team. He plays so big on
both sides of the ball.
Both Halaapiapi and ChesterRiley will be playing both ways,
with Halaapiapi manning a linebacker spot and Chester-Riley lining up as cornerback as well.
[Chester-Riley is] short, so a lot
of quarterbacks
are going to test
him, but hell
make more plays
than he misses,
Andrew said.
Woodside has
one returning
offensive lineman in Lopiseni

but
Halaapiapi
Andrews
is
excited to see how junior Alex Roque
develops. Penciled in as the starting
left tackle and a rotation guy on the
defensive line, Roque has the potential to be a mainstay for the next two
seasons.
Hes very athletic for how big
he is, Andrews said of the 6-2,
280-pound Roque. He always surprises me with how quick he gets
off the line.
The defense will be anchored by
the Smith twins Austin at outside
linebacker and Frank at defensive
end. Both are seniors.
Those guys are the heart and soul
of our defense, Andrews said.
They really lead by example.
Theyre consistent. Theyre guys
who have really put in extra time in
learning the positions. Well be
counting on them to really anchor
our defense.
Another linebacker Andrews is
eager to see develop is junior linebacker Guillermo Adame.
Hes a guy who picked up the
game relatively late, Andrews said.
Hes a wrestler. You can tell hes
learning the position. Every single
day I feel hes figuring out how to
play linebacker.
Look for a combination of running back and receivers to hold
down the defensive backfield spots.

was at defensive back, Andrews


said. This year, thats looking to
be one of our strengths. The scheme
that we run, its fun to play and pretty easy to learn. It allows guys to
run around and make plays.
It may take a while for the Wildcats
to hit their stride this season with so
many new starters and while Andrews
appreciates that fact, he also knows
that if his team is to get where it
wants to go, it has to jell early.
Were avoiding looking past the
first game, but at the same time, we
do understand the ultimate goal is to
make it to the postseason. Woodside
hasnt been to CCS since 2008. Last
year, we were very competitive, (but)
we had a lot of close games we couldnt close out. As a coaching staff, we
learned a lot from that. The challenge (this year) is to not only be
competitive, but also to close games
out, Andrews said. Things have
been very exciting (so far this season). Guys are really stepping up and
competing. I think were poised for a
pretty successful year.
sible he could be on the shelf for the
remainder of the season.
Until [Davidson] broke his hand
the other day, I was very confident
with our running backs, Mike
Johnson said.
Taking over at quarterback is
Mike Johnsons son, Michael
Johnson Jr. Although he is a freshman, Michael Johnson Jr. looks
the varsity part at 6-3, 175. And he
brings a decent amount of experience to the position, having cut his
teeth as a Pop Warner standout with
the Almaden Mustangs.
Hes going to be our starter,
Mike Johnson said. He understands
the system were trying to run. He
just needs game experience.
TKA has a slew of receivers on
roster, including Paul Majkrowitz
and Aaron Phillips. But the untested
bunch may go through some growing pains in the complex system
that shifts between multiple sets,
including the pistol and pro style.
Theres going to be trials under
fire but Im OK with those guys,
Mike Johnson said. I think theyre
going to be OK.
On defense, the Knights allowed
197 points last season. With the
return of second-year defensive
coordinator Toure Carter, Mike
Johnson is hoping for more of the
same out of the 3-4/4-3 hybrid
approach.
I thought our defense was physical last year, Mike Johnson said.
I thought we were a defense that
had a lot of intensity. This group
here has the capability to be good,
but it lacks experience.

Squirrels in attic? Pointers


on humane wildlife removal
By Diana Marszalek
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Done right, making the bed can be an opportunity to bond


and learn such things as negotiation, communication,
organization and the importance of routines and doing
something you dont want to for the good of the community.

Should children make


their beds? It depends
By Katherine Roth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Making a bed seems simple enough. An easy chore that kids


should be doing as unquestioningly as brushing their teeth.
Lots of parents know otherwise.
But before you nag your youngster or teen again about
whether theyve made their bed, experts recommend that you
stop and ask yourself a few questions.
Asking, How can I make them just invites a power struggle, warns Teresa LaSala, a trainer in New Jersey for the
Positive Discipline Association, which works with schools and
parents to teach kids responsibility respect and community
values.

See BED, Page 26

As much as my family and I love to


have suburban wildlife around our New
York-area home, some of the cuteness
wore off when we found rodents living under the roof.
A mama squirrel (perhaps she was expecting)
had set up a cozy little
nest in our attic a
wise move considering the temperature was dipping
and she had a
brood to care for.
As Jack Murphy,
co-founder
of
Denver-based
Urban
Wildlife
Rescue, puts it:
They can live in a
tree. And we can live
all winter on the
prairie in a tent. But
having a house is a lot
nicer.
So my husband,
Paul a do-it-yourself kind of guy (and
looking to save a
grand or so on critter
eviction) sprang
into action. Once the
little tykes were old
enough to go outside the
nest on their own
cute as can be, peering
over the eaves of our
roof he rigged up the trusty

have-a-heart trap, relocating them to


places youd think squirrels would like.
One got new digs creek-side in a forest
preserve. Another was escorted to a
wooded college campus.
But it was with heavy hearts we later
learned that his efforts were more misguided than magnanimous. Experts
say most squirrels even
ones old enough to fend for
themselves dont survive being moved. They
succumb to everything
from turf wars to an
inability to adapt to
new habitats.
Relocation is a
feel-good
myth,
Murphy says.
State and
fed-

eral agencies discourage relocating


wildlife, and in some cases ban it.
And removing a mother squirrel without her litter can also have a dreadful outcome, says Murphy. Most of the calls we
get about orphans are the results of
humans doing something stupid, he says.
Ugh.
Ned Bruha, who does business as The
Skunk Whisperer in Oklahoma City, is
another of the countrys few specialists in
humane wildlife removal. He says the
wiser move in addition to leaving the
job to the pros would have been to let
the squirrels hunker down until they were
ready to leave the attic on their own, and
then provide them a one-way door for
doing so.
Theres no real risk in letting them hang
out awhile, Bruha says; the danger
of squirrels doing damage like
chewing through wires is
overblown. At the same time,
when the animals do
move outside theyre
in familiar surroundings.
Without remedial and
preventive repairs,
however, youll
likely have another
tenant in no time, as
there is no shortage of
squirrels looking for a
place to live.
If you have squirrels in your attic,
you do not have a squirrel problem. You
have a house problem, Bruha says.
And if you treat this as a building problem and not a wildlife problem, you
are going to have longer-term
results.

What makes a hot pepper hot?


By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ouch! Who would have thought that vegetable with the demur green skin could contain
such bite?
But thats just a myth about peppers, that red
means hot and green means not. Red just
means ripe and green means unripe.
Hot or not, ripe means more flavorful.
Peppers, like tomatoes, taste best fully ripened.

THE SOURCE OF THE HEAT


Hot peppers hotness comes from compounds called capsaicins (kap-SAY-uh-sins),
which have no flavor themselves. Capsaicins
merely stimulate pain receptors, and the bodys
response is to speed up the heart and metabolism, and induce salivation and sweating. The
two dozen or so different capsaicins vary in
their effects: A habanero, for instance, bites
you right away, then fades, while a jalapeqo
sneaks up on you with its hotness.
Why would any sane person eat something
that produces pain? The reason might be that
while the heart is racing and sweat is pouring
out, the brain is also releasing endorphins to
block the pepper pain. Endorphins induce a
mild euphoria.

QUELLING THE FIRE


Sometimes peppers hotness can, of course,
be downright unpleasant. The fire can be
quelled a number of ways water or beer not
among them.
Sugary or acidic compounds can moderate
the heat, which makes a case for eating something sweet and sour along with something
fiery. Capsaicins are fat-soluble, so the quick-

est way to turn down the heat is to shove some


fatty food into your mouth. Milk protein also
quells the fire, making full-fat dairy products
useful to have on hand. Thus the use of sour
cream and avocado in Mexican cuisine, yogurt
in Indian cuisine and coconut in Thai cuisine.
The cool, green exterior of a green chili isnt
the only thing that could fool a person unfamiliar with it. Your first, tentative nibble of a
pepper is usually at its tip, which often isnt hot
at all. Dont be fooled: A hot peppers fire is
mostly in its ribs and near the seeds. Some of
that hotness also bleeds into the seeds themselves. So if you want to be spared the full hotness of a hot pepper, strip out the ribs and
seeds before eating it.
Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly
after youve worked with peppers because the
capsaicins can cling to your fingers and be carried to your mouth, eyes or other sensitive
parts of your body. And dont try to wash the
hotness away with water. Milk is a convenient
treatment, either as a wash or just patted on
with a milk-soaked paper towel.

HOW HOT IS HOT?

Growing conditions have less influence on the bite from peppers with smaller fruit than from
those with larger fruit.

In 1912, Wilbur Scoville came up with a


method for quantifying pepper heat. He diluted a pepper and noted at what dilution hotness
could still be detected. So a bell pepper chalks
up zero Scoville units because its not hot even
eaten straight up. Poblanos are mildly hot
(1,000 Scoville units), jalapeqos are hotter
(4,000), Thais hotter still (100,000) and
habaqeros top the scale with about 200,000
Scoville units. Mix one part habanero in
200,000 parts of water equivalent to one
drop in more than 2 1/2 gallons of water and
youll still taste some hotness!

BED
Continued from page 24
Is the long-term goal to have a teaching
moment and build self-esteem and a good
relationship with the child, or is it just to have
a pretty bed? If the goal is just a pretty bed, it
may be better for your relationship to just
make the bed yourself. If, on the other hand,
the goal is teaching, the first step is to understand the developmental stage of your child.
Read about your toddler or 15-year-old and
meet them where they are developmentally.
Done right, making the bed can be an
opportunity to bond and learn such things as
negotiation, communication, organization,
and the importance of routines and doing
something you dont want to for the good of
the community, LaSala said.

LITTLE KIDS

at the same time each day.

Younger children love to contribute and be


made a part of things, LaSala said. Its when
they feel their best is not good enough that
they give up.
You could have a 4-year-old pull the bed
sheets up and the blankets up and put a little
pillow there. The problem is that we as parents come up behind them and redo it, which
simply teaches a child that their best isnt
good enough, she said.
If its OK that its a little crooked or bumpy
in the beginning, then it becomes a win-win
and builds self-esteem.
And making the bed once isnt nearly
enough to teach the process or expect it to
take hold.
Routines need to keep being reinforced,
but without anger and angst, LaSala said.
For children between 4 and 6, she recommends starting by making the bed together

OLDER KIDS
For adolescents, the beds not really the
focus anymore: Its about the whole room and
respecting their space.
The question is really, Is this so important
that youre willing to compromise your relationship with your teen child? It shouldnt
become the major angst between you, LaSala
said.
Leslie Josel, author of Whats the Deal
with Teens and Time Management (People
Tested Books, 2015), says, For teens, there
needs to be a bigger picture and a discussion
about each persons responsibilities around
the house, so its not just mom nagging
again.
One way to have this conversation is to
say, If youre old enough to drive a car,
youre old enough to make your bed and take
out the trash, Josel said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL


LaSala emphasizes communication. If its
part of an agreement where you join together
and try to talk about why and even whether
making a bed is important, and figure out the
best solution for the family, then it becomes a
relationship builder and not a relationship
destroyer, said LaSala.

MAKING IT EASY
For kids of all ages, making the bed can be
made simpler.
Keeping the blanket in a duvet cover that
you just shake into place is way easier than
folding and smoothing top sheets. And there
are plenty of helpful products, like blankets
that zip onto sheets and sheets that zip into
place instead of having to be tucked under the
mattress each time.
The process is also easier if kids can get
around the bed, so keep the bed away from the
wall and without too much stuff on it, LaSala
said.

$60 a night for a single room to as much
as $700 per night for a full home.
Officials expect the city to become a
more popular target for listing on home
sharing websites as the Super Bowl
comes to Santa Clara in 2017, as well as
large business conventions in San
Francisco such as Oracle World and
Dreamforce, according to the report.
Though some users consider the services a convenient way to supplement
income by capitalizing on spare bedrooms or property, Greenwood claims
neighbors of rented rooms have
expressed concerns regarding impacts
on parking, noise and public safety in
neighborhoods due to frequent turnover
of visitors.
These Internet-facilitated rentals
seem to be an exciting new use with
many positive benefits but there have
been some valid concerns raised about
the potential for nuisances, such as parking or noise issues, the potential for illegal activity, or other impacts to the community, he said.
Additional concern exists that rooms
which could be used to offer long-term
housing to residents in an area already
strapped for available, affordable housing options are being listed instead on
home sharing websites which promote
short stays, according to the report.
Under the proposed policy, which
would ultimately need to be approved by
the City Council prior to being enforced,

MURDER

surrendered to the Sheriffs Office late
Tuesday night.
The identify of the suspect was not
released Wednesday as there may be
others involved, the investigation is
ongoing and retaliation is always of concern among gang-related crimes, said
Deputy Sal Zuno.
This is a sensitive situation and were
just happy we have him ... in custody.
Were still working on this case and this
is important to us. We take this seriously
and we want everyone to know that gang
activity will not be tolerated, Zuno said.
The suspect was known to the
Sheriffs Office and he is being held in
jail without bail. The suspect could face
additional enhancement charges, as the
homicide was believed to be gang related, Zuno said.
The Half Moon Bay Review reported

two young daughters.
Officials kept Garduno-Vegas identity a secret until Wednesday. GardunoVega was also known to authorities hav-

would also be subject to the citys transient occupancy tax, or hotel tax, which
takes 10 percent of the gross rent paid by
guests. The citys conference center tax
would also take an additional $2.50 per
occupied room per night.
State legislators and local cities such
as San Mateo and Belmont have bandied
regulating the home sharing industry as
well.
Permits issued to a resident allowing
home sharing in South San Francisco
would be valid for one year, and an
applicant would be eligible to renew it
the following year for $50, according to
the report.
The proposed one-year pilot program
would offer enough time for city staff to
review the effectiveness of the new policy, gauge interest of people wanting to
rent in South San Francisco, as well as
track the amount of revenue the permit
plan generates compared to the amount
of money required to run the program,
according to the report.
Under the new proposed regulations,
if the host is staying on site, only two
new tenants would be allowed to rent. If
the host is not present, two renters would
be permitted per bedroom, plus an additional two people.
Renters would not be able to stay
longer than 90 days in a home where the
host is not present, but hosted renters
would not be regulated in terms of
length of stay, according to the proposed
regulations.
Those who apply for a permit must
provide local contact information of a
person who would be available to

address concerns that might arise while


the resident is out of town, according to
report.
Also at the meeting, the Planning
Commission will discuss a proposal to
reduce the size of a housing development slated to be built at 211 Airport
Blvd.
Initially the builder, Pinefino, had
offered to build 84 units in the project,
but that has since been downsized to 69
units, and it has been shortened from
seven stories down to five.
Residents of the neighborhood near
the project had complained they felt the
development was too tall, and that it
offered inadequate parking, among a
variety of other concerns, according to a
city report.
As the builder has elected to reduce
the size and scope of the project, there is
no longer an obligation to offer those
who are not residents of the building
access to a community banquet room.
Developers wishing to build projects
with greater density than is typically
allowed under city building regulations
are required to offer community benefits, such as granting broad access to the
banquet room, but the revised project no
longer meets the density threshold for
granting such perks.
Also, under the most recent development proposal, two commercial spaces
have been added to a portion of the project which faces Cypress Avenue.
The South San Francisco Planning
Commission meets Thursday, Aug. 3, in
the Municipal Services Building, 33
Arroyo Drive. The meeting begins at 7
p.m.

ing been arrested in 2012 after being


caught with a loaded firearm near the
Moonridge Apartment Complex in Half
Moon Bay.
The then 18-year-old Garduno-Vega
was found around 11 p.m. on a Monday
after reports of a single gunshot led
deputies to Nasturtium and Oleander
roads, according to a 2012 Sheriffs
Office press release.
Garduno-Vega was placed into custody at gunpoint after being found with a
loaded rifle and the spent shell casing
was found on a juvenile companion.
Garduno-Vega was one of five who was
arrested in relation to the incident,
according to the release.
But this last Saturday, Garduno-Vega
was gunned down in the neighborhood
just behind the Strawflower Shopping
Center on the west side of Highway 1
near State Route 92.
Garduno-Vega was shot at least once
in the midsection and was being treated
by paramedics when he died at the
scene, Zuno said.
According to reports, Garduno-Vega
was shot after a confrontation with at
least two suspects and police are familiar with the area having previously
received other gang-related calls for
service.

Investigators from a variety of departments within the Sheriffs Office including North County Investigations, South
County
Investigations,
Gang
Intelligence and the Crime Suppression
units, worked around the clock the last
few days to identify the suspect, Zuno
said.
Any gang activity in San Mateo
County is a concern to us and thats why
we have specialized units that focus on
suppressing and deterring crime of those
individuals. It is not a secret, we want
them to know that were there, Zuno
said.
Still, Zuno stressed the importance of
anyone with information about the crime
coming forward and emphasized that the
Sheriffs Office takes anonymity seriously.
Because its gang related, it can be
intimidating, Zuno said. We want people, if there are additional witnesses out
there, we want them to feel confident in
calling our anonymous tip line and to
know that they are anonymous.
Anyone with information is asked to
contact Detective Bertolozzi at (650)
259-2321 or the anonymous tip line at
(800) 547-2700.

CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
while greatly reducing carbon emissions, will
be 75 percent complete by 2020 and fully
implemented by 2040.
All of these actions that the board is taking
are critical to meeting the milestones for
Caltrain electrification. We need to continue
to pursue an aggressive timeline to meet the
2020 electrification deadline because we are
already experiencing a capacity crunch that is
only going to continue to get worse, said
Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann.
A notable achievement includes officials
having identified other sources for its previously estimated nearly $450 million gap in
funding an item that will eventually be
addressed through a supplemental agreement
between Caltrain and six other transportation
authorities that oversee the 51 miles of track
as well as the city and county of San
Francisco
and
the
Metropolitan
Transportation Commission.
The six parties may commit an additional
$98 million, an agreement Caltrain will likely
consider in October. The remaining gap is
expected to be closed by a Federal Transit
Administration Core Capacity Grant for $220
million and the California High-Speed Rail
Authority which already committed nearly
$750 million to contribute an additional
$113 million, according to a staff report.
The exact details of the agreement are being
finalized and each entitys regulatory body
will have to approve their own agreement.
Having identified enough to fund the project

E-CIGS
Continued from page 1
testing of e-cigarettes needs to be refined and
compared to combustible or traditional cigarettes, vapor products are less harmful,
according to the Smoke Free Alternative
Trade Association, or SFATA.
While scientists continue to probe the vapor
products, state and city efforts to regulate
where they can be used and how theyre distributed are underway.
State Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco,
recently authored a bill calling for the state to
classify e-cigarettes as a tobacco product and
consequentially, prohibit them from being
used at a variety of public places such as
schools, restaurants and on public transportation. Lenos Senate Bill X2-5, is similar to one
authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, and would also require the liquid nicotine to be sold in child-resistant packaging
a response to drastic increases in the number
of poisonings over the last few years, which
went from 1,543 in 2013 to nearly 4,000 in

through 2020 will allow the JPB to proceed


with hiring a consultant early next year. That
will be a significant contract as the chosen
firm will finalize the design and carry the
project to construction, Ackemann said.
This was a critical next step because we
cannot award the electrification [request for
proposals] at the end of the year as we are
scheduled to do, without having a full funding
plan in place. So were very pleased,
Ackemann said.

Eminent domain possibility


On Thursday, the board is considering a
partnership with the San Mateo County
Transit District and the Santa Clara Valley
Transportation Authority for assistance if eminent domain becomes necessary along the
electrified corridor.
In the worst-case scenarios identified in the
environmental impact report for the project,
Caltrain may need to purchase or arrange 1.5
acres of easements for substations in South
San Francisco and San Jose, as well as strips
of land that make up to 18 acres throughout
constrained areas along the 51 miles of track.
Up to 102 parcels in San Mateo County and
another 56 in Santa Clara County could be
affected, according to a staff report.
Ackemann said Caltrain has been in communication with all of the affected property
owners and eminent domain would be a last
resort.
I want to emphasize there are no full properties that are being proposed [for taking], its
slivers [of land], Ackemann said. But until
we have this board action we dont have the
authority to really engage in direct negotiations with any property owners. And of
2014, according to reports.
Lenos bill passed the Senate last week and
is now in the Assembly where it will likely
first be heard in the committee on public
health.
The center hired an independent lab to test
97 products purchased from Rite-Aid, 7Eleven, online and Bay Area vapor stores
between February and July 2015. The results
showed 21 products produced one of the
chemicals at a level more than 10 times the
states safety standard and seven products produced one of the chemicals at more than 100
times the safety level, according to the center.
Although e-cigarettes are frequently touted
as a safer alternative to traditional tobacco,
the tests found one nicotine-free product produced acetaldehyde at more than 13 times the
states legal safety threshold and formaldehyde at more than 74 times the threshold,
according to
the center.
Others
contend ecigarettes are

course, its our hope that we dont ever have


to use the eminent domain authority; our goal
would be to reach successful negotiations
with each homeowner along the corridor.

Legal issues
But Caltrains modernization project has
had its share of controversy. Atherton, the
Transportation Solutions Defense and
Education Fund along with the Community
Coalition on High-Speed Rail filed a lawsuit
against Caltrain in February. The suit alleges
Caltrains environmental review of the project
was inadequate because it doesnt consider
the impacts to traffic, tree removal, station
configurations and electricity demands. It also
claims Caltrain should have considered the
potential impacts of bringing high-speed rail
to the Peninsula.
The local transit agency became intertwined
with the states proposed bullet train from Los
Angeles to San Francisco when the two opted
for a blended system in which Caltrain and
high-speed rail could share the electrified
tracks between San Jose and San Francisco
an improvement from the initial proposal to
create separate tracks that could have resulted
in many properties being taken through eminent domain.
Caltrain has maintained its modernization
project does not clear the way for high-speed
rail as the high-speed rail proposal would
need to undergo its own, separate environmental review.
The lawsuit was recently transferred to
Contra Costa County Superior Court and
Ackemann said Caltrain is confident it will be
able to successfully litigate the case.
ditional tobacco products and the industry is
not completely opposed to certain regulations,
according to the SFATA.
It also is essential to note that vapor products are considered 95 percent less harmful
than combustible cigarettes and are a contributing factor to the recent decline in cigarette smoking, according to the SFATA,
which cited a recent report conducted by
Public Health England. Vapor products are
intended only for adult smokers and adult
vapers and the industry does not market to
underage consumers and fully supports age
restrictions on their use, according to the
SFATA.
But lawmakers are only beginning to
catch up to the e-cigarette industrys growing market. Various efforts have been made
to classify the smokeless e-cigarettes as
tobacco products and deter them from

GPS technology, line of credit


Other items being addressed Thursday
include an update and revised funding for a
new high-tech safety control system. The
modernization
program
includes
Communications Based Overlay Signal
System and Positive Train Control, a federally required GPS-based technology capable of
preventing train-to-train collisions. The board
will hear an update on the status the system
currently being installed and consider approving an additional $10 million toward the nearly $160 million control system project that
Congress ordered railroads complete by the
end of this year.
Another technical agenda item includes
soliciting a revolving line of credit for up to
$125 million. Ackemann said this financing
mechanism will help Caltrain progress with
the project while support trickles in from a
variety of sources.
Its pretty standard for a large-scale project
like this. Basically it allows us to continue to
move forward with work and pay contractors
without any delay as we receive funding,
Ackemann said. Were getting funding from
high-speed rail, from our partner agencies and
through various other funding programs like
the cap-and-trade program. But all of those
funding streams dont come in at once. So that
revolving loan allows us to continue work as
we identify funding when it becomes available.

being marketed to youth.


Locally, cities across the county have enacted or begun to consider their own policies to
tighten tobacco regulations that include e-cigarettes while state efforts have stalled.
Now, Leno is hopeful this study continues
to highlight the need for a statewide policy.
This study reconfirms what other major
public health agencies have found, which is
that most e-cigarette products contain chemicals known to cause cancer. This is especially
concerning given that the fastest growing segment of e-cigarette smokers is middle and
high school students, Leno wrote in an email.
It is unacceptable for the state of California
to continue to let this unregulated industry sell
its tobacco and nicotine products to both
young people and adults with such little oversight. We must act now in order to protect
public health.
