School accountability system gets passing grade

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Officials
laud new metric, identify
potential room for improvement
more accurate communities enjoying consider- ing to the formula emphasized
Though many officials lauded

After a year of operating without

a school accountability system,
state education officials approved
a new index which many experts
feel will be an improvement from
its predecessor.
The state Board of Education
approved last week a system
designed to replace the Academic
Performance Index, or API, suspended in favor of developing a
more comprehensive approach to
tracking school achievement.

the most recent version of the system, as it swaps out a single score
driven primarily by test scores
with a variety of metrics designed
to offer a fuller vision of a
schools performance, some feel
room for improvement still
exists.
State Superintendent Tom
Torlakson said he believes the
most recent system will offer residents, families and members of the
education community a better and

illustration of a
schools quality.
It is exciting, but it is
also challenging,
said
Torlakson, as
Tom Torlakson officials seek
to identify a
system best equipped to provide
useful data in their quest to close
the achievement gap between

able resources and those needing

additional assistance.
Torlakson said he most appreciated the variety of metrics offered
through the new system, based on
data detailing readiness for college and careers, graduation rates,
performance on standardized tests,
parent engagement, school climate, absenteeism rates and a variety of other areas.
School ratings, designed to
reflect annual performance accord-

under Common Core standards,

will be assigned a color code ranging from highest to lowest in an
order of blue, green, yellow,
orange and red.
The new system provides multiple ongoing measures of school
performance instead of the single,
one-item snapshot from the prior
system, according to a press
release

City tackles
its parking

EXPLOSION IN MANHATTAN

Permit parking considered for neighborhoods;

myriad traffic calming requests get prioritized

FBI officials mark the ground near the site of an explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan Sunday.
SEE STORY PAGE 7.

Redwood Citys economic boom

has clearly brought more traffic
congestion to downtown but has
also had its impacts on neighborhoods as homes have become
overcrowded.
The Jefferson Street garage
downtown has helped ease congestion in the area and even has electronic signs to indicate how full
the lot is.
Recently, the city established a

parking permit program in the

Stambaugh-Heller neighborhood
adjacent to downtown and reduced
the number of lanes on Farm Hill
Boulevard to slow down speeders.
The moves were made to keep
employees from parking in the
neighborhood and to make Farm
Hill more safe.
The city also recently ended
unlimited parking on Broadway to
create greater turnover, a move
supported by merchants.

Air Force base wildfire
postpones hi-res satellite launch
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. A wildfire burning at a central
California Air Force base on Sunday
forced the postponement of a satellite
launch, officials said.
An Atlas 5 rocket was to carry a
satellite known as WorldView-4 into
orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The satellite is designed to produce
high-resolution images of Earth from
space.
The fire burning in a remote canyon
didnt immediately threaten the space
launch complex, Col. Paul Nosek said
on the bases Facebook page. But he
said firefighters needed to be redeployed from stand-by at the launch
because of the blaze.
Nearly 800 firefighters were trying
to corral the fire that was slightly less
than a square mile in size.
WorldView-4 is the latest in a series
of imaging satellites built by
Lockheed Martin. It is operated by
Colorado-based DigitalGlobe, which
provides images for government and
private customers. The satellite is
designed to spot the make of a car from
nearly 400 miles above Earth.

Doran Bridge: Beautiful but sad

Monday Sept. 19, 2016

Police reports
Bed, bath and beyond
A person broke into a home and stole
furniture and appliances valued at
approximately $5,434.99 at the 1300
block of Millbrae Avenue in Millbrae
before 9 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8.

MILLBRAE

he little known Doran Bridge on

Interstate 280 carries the title of
most beautiful, but its name tells a
story so sad the span should rank with
Italys famous Bridge of Sighs.
Tradition holds that the short span built
in Venice in the year 1600 gained its name
from the sighs of criminals being led to
prison. In contrast, the Doran Bridge stands
as a monument to modern violence, its
name linked to a slain police officer and to
his son who died in Vietnam.
Most drivers who zip over the 400-foot
high bridge are unaware that it was initially
named for Hillsborough police officer
Eugene Doran who was shot to death during
a routine traffic stop near the spot where the
bridge would be built. Some unenlightened
motorists have referred to the bridge as The
Flintstone Bridge, a reference to a nearby
house that consists of free-form domes.
Serra High School history teacher Kevin
Carey thinks its time the Doran story was
better known.
Carey said his students, and himself,
drove over the bridge numerous times
unaware of the sad history. Carey also said
the youngsters visit the graves of the
Dorans at Golden Gate National Cemetery in
San Bruno.
Most of my students have expressed surprise, but also remorse for the tragedy of the
family, he said.
Eugene Doran was killed Aug. 5, 1959, by
Alexander Robillard. Accounts say the offi-

cer was shot six times, the last bullet fired
in his neck in a coup de grace. Doran
stopped the car Robillard was driving on
Black Mountain Road near Skyline
Boulevard and radioed dispatch to request
that the license plates be checked to see if
the auto was stolen. It was. Robillard pulled
out a .32 caliber revolver and fired. Doran
left behind a pregnant wife and two children.
Robillard, who was 19 at the time and had
an extensive criminal record, was executed
in 1961 for the slaying. Serra is a Catholic
high school, so Careys students would find
it interesting that Robillards eyes and
those of his confessor-priest were locked
during the entire time, according to an
account of Robillards death that appeared
in the San Mateo Times.
There was an interchange of thoughts
and expressions throughout the execution
between the priest and the cop-killer, a witness recounted. He and the priest were as
one, the witness continued, adding that
Robillard was at peace with his God.
This November, voters will decide on two
measures concerning capital punishment:
Proposition 62 would ban executions while
Proposition 66 would streamline the
appeals process to speed up executions.

School district seeks parcel tax feedback

San Mateo-Foster City officials move ahead with community polling
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San
Mateo-Foster
City
Elementary School District officials approved collecting feedback from voters regarding an
effort to extend the districts parcel tax, set to expire next year.
The district Board of Trustees
agreed Thursday, Sept. 15, to hire
pollster Godbe Research for a survey of local voters regarding their
potential support for tacking
more years onto the $209 annual
parcel tax supporting enrichment
programs.
Officials claim the tax, set to
sunset in June 2017, is an integral
stream of revenue to ensure local
students are offered essential services such as library availability,
music and art classes, counseling
and wellness programs, quality

A Pescadero business has been

teachers and other resources.

Should the tax generating $7
million annually not gain the necessary extension support from
voters, Assistant Superintendent
Molly Barton said officials could
face some difficult decisions.
If we dont extend the tax, we
will have to look at cutting those
programs, she said.
As part of the outreach effort,
pollsters will conduct a survey of
likely voters in a February election to gauge their potential support of extending the tax over a
yet to be determined amount of
time.
They will call and ask potential
voters about what is important to
them and what they can support,
Barton said.
There are also opportunities to
pursue the tax in March and June
next year, but Godbe had previous-

ly said such targets are less desirable, as voter turnout is expected

to be lower. Waiting until June is
also a potential cause for concern
previously identified by officials,
because if the tax extension effort
fails, the district would not have
another opportunity to float the
measure again before the revenue
stream expires.
Officials would need to approve
floating the tax to voters at least
three months in advance of the
upcoming election.
The feedback generated from the
poll, set to be presented to district
officials at the end of the month,
will ultimately determine their
decision to move ahead, said
Barton.
We are doing this survey to find
out if we are on the right track,
she said.
The district has had a parcel tax

in place since 1991, and voters

agreed to hike the value of
Measure A by $96 from its previous amount when it was approved
six years ago. Barton said officials are not interested in seeking
a tax increase, should the measure
go before voters again in an
upcoming election.
The district has periodically
struggled in recent years to rally
voter support for tax measures, as
Measure A just barely passed the
threshold required for approval.
Voters approved Measure X, a
facilities bond, in the most recent
election after shooting down
Measure P in 2013.
Parcel taxes support classroom
programming, and the revenue can
be used to pay educators and support staff while bonds may only
pay toward improving infrastructure.

Barton said the programs supported by the existing parcel tax

not only improve the districts
educational programming, but
also social and emotional support
for students, as the revenue
finances counseling positions as
well as health coordinators.
This supports the students not
just academically, but as a whole
child, she said.
District spokeswoman Amber
Farinha said as the outreach effort
begins and officials look to
opportunities for extending the
revenue stream considered integral
by many, she hopes the community will be in favor of the potential
measure.
We are really hoping for a supportive community to maintain
our wonderful programs and hopefully that comes out in the survey, she said.

Odd couple: Boxer, Inhofe forge unlikely alliance

By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The oddest of

Senate odd couples California
Democrat Barbara Boxer and
Oklahoma Republican Jim Inhofe
have accomplished something
highly unusual in this bitter election year: significant, bipartisan
legislation on the environment
that has become law.
Boxer, a staunch liberal, calls climate change the greatest challenge to hit the planet, battles
against offshore drilling, rails
about the dangers of nuclear power
and has pushed to restrict greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
Inhofe proudly calls himself an
unabashed conservative who dismisses global warming as a hoax
and famously tossed a snowball on
the Senate floor to prove his point.
Its very, very cold out, he said
last February as he lobbed the ball
toward the Senate president, an
incident that makes Boxer cringe.
Yet somehow, the two have managed to become friends and political partners, working closely
together to find common ground
and frequently gushing about the
other. Earlier this year, Inhofe and
Boxer shepherded a sweeping bill
to impose new regulations on tens

everyday products, from household
cleaners to clothing and furniture. It

we dont waste a lot of time arguing.
Or as Inhofe put it in an interview, She has every right to be
wrong.
The alliances success stands in
stark contrast to the fierce partisanship that has consumed Capitol
Hill and grown increasingly worse
as the Nov. 8 election approaches.
Republicans and Democrats who
once had high hopes for criminal
justice reform, for instance, and
even the basic business of individual spending bills have accepted
the reality that little will be done.

Sanders, like Boxer a passionate
advocate for action to slow climate change, lost a hotly contested race for the Democratic presidential nomination this year. He
shocked many supporters when he
announced at a town hall this
spring that the Republican he
likes the most is Inhofe. The revelation might ruin Inhofes political career, Sanders joked.
Therell be a 30-second ad:

IS takes credit for mall stabbings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. CLOUD, Minn. A man in

a private security uniform stabbed
nine people at a Minnesota shopping mall, reportedly asking one
victim if they were Muslim before
an off-duty police officer shot and
killed him in an attack the Islamic
State group claimed as its own.
None of the nine people who
were stabbed in Saturday nights
attack received life-threatening
wounds, St. Cloud police Chief
Blair Anderson said. He said it
doesnt appear that anyone else
was involved in the attack at the
Crossroads Center in St. Cloud,
which began at around 8 p.m. and
was over within minutes.
At a news conference Sunday,
FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Rick
Thornton said the attack was
being investigated as a possible
act of terrorism and that agents
were still digging into the attack-

ers background and possible

motives.
An Islamic State-run news
agency, Rasd, claimed Sunday that
the attacker was a soldier of the
Islamic State who had heeded the
groups calls for attacks in countries that are part of a U.S.-led
anti-IS coalition.
It was not immediately clear if
the extremist group had planned
the attack or even knew about it
beforehand. IS has encouraged socalled lone wolf attacks. It has
also claimed past attacks that are
not believed to have been planned
by its central leadership.
Authorities didnt identify the
attacker, but the Star Tribune of
Minneapolis said the mans father
identified him as Dahir A. Adan,
22. Speaking to the newspaper
through an interpreter, Ahmed
Adan, whose family is Somali,
said his son was born in Africa and
had lived in the U.S. for 15 years.

A spokesman for St. Cloud State

University confirmed that Adan
was a student there, but has not
been enrolled since the spring
semester.
Spokesman Adam
Hammer said Adans intended
major was information systems,
which is a computer-related field.
He said police told him at around
9 p.m. Saturday that his son had
died at the mall, and that police
had raided the familys apartment,
seizing photos and other materials. He said police said nothing to
him about the mall attack, and that
he had no suspicion that his son
had been involved in terrorist
activity, the newspaper reported.
Anderson said police had had
three previous encounters with the
attacker, mostly for minor traffic
violations.
According to Anderson, the
attacker, dressed in a security uniform and wielding what appeared
to be a kitchen knife, began

attacking people right after entering the mall, stabbing people in

several spots inside the building,
including corridors, businesses
and common areas.
Five minutes after authorities
received the first 911 call, Jason
Falconer, a part-time officer in the
city of Avon, shot and killed the
attacker. Anderson said Falconer
fired as the attacker was lunging at
him with the knife, and continued
to engage him as the attacker got
up three times.
He clearly prevented additional
injuries and potential loss of life,
Anderson said.
Officer Falconer was there at
the right time and the right place,
he said.
Anderson earlier said the man
reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if
they were Muslim before attacking them.

Feds test bomb remnants of

New York blast that hurt 29
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The bomb that rocked a

New York City neighborhood known for its
vibrant arts scene and large gay community
contained residue of an explosive often used
for target practice that can be picked up in
many sporting goods stores, a federal law
enforcement official said Sunday, as authorities tried to unravel who planted the device
and why.

The discovery of Tannerite in materials

recovered from the Saturday night explosion that injured 29 people may be important as authorities probe whether the blast
was connected to an unexploded pressurecooker device found by state troopers just
blocks away, as well as a pipe bomb blast in
a New Jersey shore town earlier in the day.

condemn the stabbings. They said
the suspect does not represent the
larger Somali community, and
they expressed fear about backlash over the attack.
Minnesota has the nations
largest Somali community, with
census numbers placing the population at about 40,000, but community activists say the population most of it in the
Minneapolis area is much higher. The immigrant community has
been a target for terror recruiters in
recent years. More than 20 young
men have left the state since 2007
to join al-Shabab in Somalia, and
roughly a dozen people have left
in recent years to join militants in
Syria.

addition,
nine
Minnesota men face sentencing
on terror charges for plotting to
join the Islamic State group.

Syrian truce receives new blows with airstrikes

By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrias fragile ceasefire started to unravel on Sunday

with the first aerial attacks on
rebel-held neighborhoods of
Aleppo and a southern village that
killed at least eight people, violations that came as tensions
between the American and Russian
brokers of the deal worsened following a deadly U.S. strike on
Syrian government forces.
The air raid by the U. S. -led
coalition killed dozens of Syrian
soldiers and led to a harsh verbal
attack on Washington by
Damascus and Moscow. The U.S.
military says it may have unintentionally struck Syrian troops
while carrying out a raid against
the Islamic State group in eastern
Syria on Saturday.
The seven-day cease-fire is supposed to end at midnight Sunday,

according to a Syrian army statement issued last week. The U.S.

and Russia have said that if it
holds for seven days, it should be
followed by the establishment of a
Joint Implementation Center for
both countries to coordinate the
targeting of Islamic State and alQaida-linked militants.
Despite largely holding, the
cease-fire has been repeatedly violated by both sides, and aid convoys have not reached besieged
rebel-held neighborhoods of
Aleppo, Syrias largest city and
one-time commercial center,
which has been the center of violence in recent months. Aid delivery to Aleppo is part of the U.S.Russia cease-fire deal.
Earlier this month, Syrian government forces and their allies
captured areas they lost south of
the city, re-imposing a siege on
its opposition-held eastern neighborhoods. More than 2,000 peo-

ple were killed in 40 days of fighting in the city, including 700

civilians, among them 160 children, according to a Syrian
activist group.
Syrian state TV reported that
dozens of residents had left rebelheld areas in Aleppo and were
taken to shelters in the government-controlled part of the city.
Also Sunday, Aleppos governor, Hussein Diab, called on insurgents in the eastern neighborhoods to turn themselves in, hand
over their weapons and take
advantage of an amnesty decree
issued recently by Syrian
President Bashar Assad.
We are at a new stage that
requires making the decision to
embrace reconciliation, Diab
said in a statement carried by the
state news agency, SANA. He
urged insurgents to halt what he
called the bloodshed and destruction and affirmed that all who

FBI: Beaches reopened after pipe bomb blast

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEASIDE PARK, N.J. Jersey

Shore beaches were reopened
Sunday as an investigation continued into a pipe bomb explosion
at a seaside community before
thousands of runners were to participate in a charity 5K race to
benefit Marines and sailors.
Officials would not say if they
believe the Saturday afternoon
blast in Seaside Park was terrorrelated, but said it didnt appear to
be connected to an explosion that
rocked a crowded Manhattan
neighborhood Saturday night,

injuring 29 people.
They said each bomb contained
different materials, but added that
they werent ruling anything out
yet. The New Jersey device contained evidence of a black powder.
Special
Agent
Michael
Whitaker, a spokesman for the FBI
office in Newark, said state and
federal investigators were still
canvassing the Seaside Park area
Sunday and conducting interviews.
He said travel restrictions imposed
after the blast had been lifted.
He declined further comment,
citing the ongoing investigation.
New Jersey state police also

wouldnt comment and referred

questions about the blast to the
FBI.
Appearing Sunday on CNNs
Inside Politics with Jake Tapper,
Gov. Chris Christie said state
police had some promising
leads but no suspects. The
Republican governor said people
should not jump to conclusions
about who may be responsible for
the blast or what the motive was.
Christie said that by his own
definition, he personally considered the blasts terrorism as well
as a knife attack at a Minnesota
mall.

turned themselves in and surrendered their weapons would be treated well and allowed to return to
normal life.
Moscow laid the blame for
Sundays violence squarely on the
opposition. Russian Defense
Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen.
Igor Konashenkov said in an
emailed statement that both terrorists and the opposition are
using the truce to boost their
forces and prepare for renewed
hostilities.
Konashenkov says Moscow
still has not been able to contact
the U. S. -backed opposition to
coordinate cease-fire efforts
despite Washingtons assurances.
He said the U.S. has not even tried
to get the opposition to hold its
fire.
U. S. Secretary of State John
Kerry fired back in an interview
with CNN, saying Russia needs to
stop Assad from attacking the

opposition and blocking aid

delivery. Kerry said Assad was a
spoiler in the cease-fire, and
called on Moscow to stop the
grandstanding.
Kerry also said it was important
to set up the Joint Implementation
Center in order to prevent the terrible thing that happened yesterday, that we all acknowledge and
regret but it happens when you
have conflict. He appeared to be
referring to the U.S.-led airstrikes
in eastern Syria.
Earlier Sunday, Islamic State
militants shot down a Syrian warplane as Syrian forces regained
ground lost to the extremists following Saturdays airstrike, state
media said.
Syria called Saturdays U.S.-led
strikes on the outskirts of the
eastern city of Deir el-Zour a dangerous and blatant aggression
against the Syrian Arab Republic
and its army.

17 soldiers killed in attack at

Indian army base in Kashmir
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SRINAGAR, India Suspected

rebels using guns and grenades
sneaked into a crucial army base in
Indian-controlled Kashmir early
Sunday and killed at least 17 soldiers in the deadliest attack on a
military base in the disputed
Himalayan region.
Four rebels were killed as the
soldiers returned gunfire after the
surprise assault before dawn on the
base, located near the highly militarized Line of Control dividing

Kashmir between India and

Pakistan.
Loud explosions were heard and
several barracks caught fire in the
initial hours of the attack.
Officials said at least 30 soldiers
were wounded in the attack, including about a dozen who were in critical condition.
The casualties were high because
a large number of soldiers were
turning over the base to new units
and were stationed in tents and
temporary shelters that caught fire
in the attack.

Guest perspective

You cant lead from behind

By Mark Olbert

heres an old joke that leaders

are the people who, from
behind the crowd, shout Go!
Go! Go! I was reminded of this at our
most recent San Carlos City Council
meeting.
Proposition 63, Safety for All, is
on this Novembers ballot. It imposes some additional regulations on gun
ownership, which you can read about
at the initiatives website safetyforall.com.
Personally, I think whats proposed
are reasonable additions to our existing laws and regulations. I know how
hard all local public ofcials law
enforcement, city and school district
staff work to prevent mass shootings. And I know how committed my
elected colleagues, on the council and
the school board, are to ensuring staff
has what they need to protect us.
But experience shows thats not sufcient. Newtown and San Bernardino
arent known as being easy on violent crime and both were visited by
unspeakable horror. I am overcome
with grief and rage every time I think
of what those innocent young children suffered. I know of no one who
doesnt feel the same way.
So it seemed perfectly reasonable to
ask my colleagues to take up the issue
of whether we should endorse
Proposition 63.
Sadly, three of my colleagues decided to keep us from even discussing
whether to endorse the measure. We
currently use a rule of three to put
items on the agenda which I think

is silly, since three

of us can decide for
or against any matter within our jurisdiction. Shouldnt
our protocol recognize that discussion can change
minds?
My colleagues
main concerns? Discussion might be
divisive, and make us unhappy with
each other. It might also set a dangerous precedent to discuss anything
other than purely local issues. You
can watch the entire discussion online
through the citys website at cityofsancarlos.org.
I am grateful my colleague Ron
Collins joined me in making the
request. Ive come to see Ron as
Mister San Carlos, because he was
born and raised here, and because his
heart beats in time with the pulse of
the community. When he says something is important to San Carlos, I
listen. I wish others on the dais had
done so Monday night.
As to the objections raised by the
opponents?
Divisiveness? Were elected to
serve the community, not to become
fast friends. Anyone who has worked
in an organization knows that, sometimes, heat gets generated on the path
to the light, and makes allowances. If
you cant manage that, you have no
business representing a community.
Precedent? Everything we do or
dont do sets a precedent. The question isnt are we setting a precedent? but what kind of precedent are

we setting? Interestingly, it turns out

the council has endorsed statewide
initiatives in the past: our city manager reminded us the council endorsed
Proposition 1A, which limited the
ability of the state to take tax money
away from cities.
So taking a position on how much
money ows into our coffers is OK.
But taking a position on an effort
aimed at reducing the slaughter of
innocents and our children is
not? We need to remember why its
sometimes known as lthy lucre, and
focus on what really matters: the living, breathing human beings who
make up San Carlos.
In closing, I want to recognize that
there are legitimate differences of
opinion about how much regulation
of rearms is enough, and how much
is too much. I suspect our community
isnt 100 percent in favor of
Proposition 63.
But being a community leader is
more than just handing out awards, or
being recognized for doing what no
one opposes. Sometimes you have to
lead. You cant generally do that from
behind the crowd. Perhaps if enough
community members speak up the
council will do an admittedly small
bit of leading from behind and
discuss whether an initiative aimed at
reducing the risk of mass shootings is
worth endorsing.

Carlos City Council. The v iews

Just cause eviction: a
renters angle on subleasing
Editor,
Has anyone really read the details
in Measure R? Do people know that
apartment buildings can be easily
turned into a hotel and theres nothing that the property owner or neighbors can do about it?
This November, voters will be
asked whether its OK to give carte
blanche to sublease a rental unit
apartment or single-family home.
This is not fair to neighbors as it will
expose residents to potential threats.
As more families are choosing to
rent, having a tenant screening system is ideal to protect young children
and other residents.
I am a renter and I am grateful that I
can feel safe knowing my landlord
does thorough screening of tenants
moving to a building. I dont support

unauthorized individuals roaming a

property without permission.
However, Measure R will allow the
subleasing of a unit without the
owners permission and worse, it will
bypass background checks.
What happens if tenants decide to
earn extra income by listing a bedroom in their unit on vacation rental
websites? I dont want my building to
turn into a hotel.
Burlingame should not have laws
that could turn communities into a
suitcase alley with strangers moving in and out on a regular basis
because the renter decides to game the
system. Measure R will invite and
allow these actions without repercussions. Again, one of the many unintended consequences of Measure R.
Measure R is bad for renters. Vote
no.

Renters
Proposition 13

oward Jarvis Apartment Owners Association

Proposition 13 kept property taxes low. As an initiative, it was hailed as a way to protect seniors from
being forced out of their homes but the main beneciaries
were and are commercial real estate owners. Ironically, the
rent control measures on the November ballot in San Mateo
and Burlingame aim to prevent tenants from being forced out
of their apartments because of escalating rents. It is unfortunate the cities were unable to reach a compromise between
renters and landlords to modify rent increases of 30 percent to
40 percent in the last four years just as it was unfortunate that
the Legislature and then governor Jerry Brown could not
agree on a way to lessen the spike in property taxes.
The main objection to these
measures, whatever their merits, is that if approved, they
cannot be overturned except by
vote of the people. Why wasnt
a sunset provision of ve years
included to appropriately
respond to cyclical changes?
***
It has come to this because
of market forces or greed in an
area where tenants are at the
mercy of landlords. Each day
there is another story of an
eviction without cause, of
another family who has to
move and does not have the means to do so, and of for hire
signs throughout the city because so many of its workers can
no longer live here. Tenants groups appealed to the cities for
help but were not able to receive the assistance they needed.
So they organized. In San Mateo, Faith in Action (formerly
Peninsula Interfaith Action or PIA) helped obtain enough signatures to put rent control on the ballot. There is even a
Facebook photo of Bishop William Justice of the San
Francisco Archdiocese who lives in San Mateo signing one
of these petitions (The church has taken no ofcial position).
***
The San Mateo and Burlingame measures are similar but
there are important differences. They both create a Rental
Housing Commission made up of ve members, appointed by
the city council, who can serve two four-year terms. In
Burlingame, three members of the commission must be tenants while in San Mateo there shall be no more than two
members who own or manage rental property, or are developers or Realtors. Why the difference? Tenant groups considered
the Burlingame council more hostile and were concerned who
the council might appoint. A member of the Burlingame City
Council is signing the argument against Measure R; in San
Mateo there is no ofcial city argument against Measure Q.
While these commissions operate independently, the council
controls the appointments. And that may make a big difference, if the measures pass, on future council elections.
Both measures exempt single-family homes, owner-occupied secondary units and owner-occupied duplexes from rent
control and just cause for eviction provisions, except
Burlingame includes the latter for single-family homes and
condominiums because of Marie Hatch, the elderly woman
who was evicted from a single-family home after living there
many years.
For details on both measures see the cities websites. San
Mateo City Attorney Shawn Masons impartial analysis is
especially helpful.
***
The measures prescribe the amount of increases allowed
just once a year between 1 percent to 4 percent a year but, in
San Mateo, landlords have the ability to shift unused increases to another year as long as they are limited to 8 percent.
While rent control just applies to apartments built before
1995, just cause evictions apply to all existing apartments
up to September 2015 in San Mateo and March 2016 in
Burlingame.
***
Landlord fees pay for the commissions operations but the
city must pay upfront costs until the fees come in. The city
can ask for reimbursement. The commission can ask the city
for additional funding but there is no requirement that the city
must put up additional funds.
***
Most economists agree that rent control is not the way to
x a housing crisis. It responds to an existing problem; not
always a long-term one. It benets existing tenants, not new
ones. Proposition 13 benets longtime commercial property
and homeowners, not new ones. Unfortunately, new housing
and new affordable housing under construction doesnt solve
the immediate crisis. Why the cities were unable to nd a
more prudent solution is frustrating. San Mateo came close. It
appointed a task force made up of both sides but the group
could not reach a consensus. The council considered an emergency moratorium on rent increases but couldnt come up
with more than two votes while a last-ditch proposal for relocation assistance came too late for rent control supporters.
Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters is endorsing both
measures due to long-standing support for stabilization and
preservation of low- and moderate-income housing.

Drugmakers fought state

opioid limits amid crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The makers of prescription

painkillers have adopted a 50state strategy that includes hundreds of lobbyists and millions in
campaign contributions to help
kill or weaken measures aimed at
stemming the tide of prescription
opioids, the drugs at the heart of a
crisis that has cost 165, 000
Americans their lives and pushed
countless more to crippling addiction.
The drugmakers vow theyre
combating the addiction epidemic, but the Associated Press and
the Center for Public Integrity
found that they often employ a
statehouse playbook of delay and
defend that includes funding advocacy groups that use the veneer of
independence to fight limits on
the drugs, such as OxyContin,
Vicodin and fentanyl, the narcotic
linked to Princes death.
The mother of Cameron Weiss
was no match for the industrys
high-powered lobbyists when she
plunged into the corridors of New
Mexicos Legislature, crusading
for a measure she fervently
believed would have saved her
sons life.
It was a heroin overdose that
eventually killed Cameron, not
long before he would have turned
19. But his slippery descent to
death started a few years earlier,
when a hospital sent him home

with a bottle of Percocet after he

broke his collarbone in wrestling
practice.
Jennifer Weiss-Burke pushed for
a bill limiting initial prescriptions of opioid painkillers for
acute pain to seven days. The bill
exempted people with chronic
pain, but opponents still fought
back, with lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry quietly mobilizing in increased numbers to
quash the measure.
They didnt speak up in legislative hearings. They were going
individually talking to senators
and representatives one-on-one,
Weiss-Burke said.
Unknowingly, she had taken on
a political powerhouse that spent
more than $880 million nationwide on lobbying and campaign
contributions from 2006 through
2015 more than 200 times what
those advocating for stricter policies spent and more than eight
times what the formidable gun
lobby recorded for similar activities during that same period.
The pharmaceutical companies
and allied groups have a number of
legislative interests in addition to
opioids that account for a portion
of their political activity, but
their steady presence in state capitals means theyre poised to jump
in quickly on any debate that
affects them.
Collectively, the AP and the
Center for Public Integrity found,

the drugmakers and allied advocacy groups employed an annual

average of 1,350 lobbyists in legislative hubs from 2006 through
2015, when opioids addictive
nature came under increasing
scrutiny.
The opioid lobby has been
doing everything it can to preserve the status quo of aggressive
prescribing, said Dr. Andrew
Kolodny, founder of Physicians
for
Responsible
Opioid
Prescribing and an outspoken
advocate for opioid reform. They
are reaping enormous profits from
aggressive prescribing.
The drug companies say they are
committed to solving the problems linked to their painkillers.
Major
opioid-makers
have
launched initiatives to, among
other things, encourage more cautious prescribing, allow states to
share databases of prescriptions
and help stop drug dealers from
obtaining pills.
And the industry and its allies
have not been alone in fighting
restrictions on opioids. Powerful
doctors groups are part of the
fight in several states, arguing
that lawmakers should not tell
them how to practice medicine.
While drug regulation is usually
handled at the federal level
where the makers of painkillers
also have pushed back against
attempts to impose restrictions
ordinary citizens struggling with

the opioid crisis in their neighborhoods have looked to their

state capitals for solutions.
Hundreds of opioid-related bills
have been introduced at the state
level just in the last several years.
The few groups pleading for
tighter prescription restrictions
are mostly fledgling mom-andpop organizations formed by families of young people killed by
opioids. Together, they spent
about $4 million nationwide at the
state and federal level on political
contributions and lobbying from
2006 through 2015 and employed
an average of eight state lobbyists
each year.
Prescription opioids are the
synthetic cousins of heroin and
morphine, prescribed to relieve
pain. Sales of the drugs have
boomed quadrupling from 1999
to 2010 and overdose deaths
rose just as fast, totaling 165,000
this millennium. Last year, 227
million opioid prescriptions were
doled out in the U.S., enough to
hand a bottle of pills to nine out of
every 10 American adults.
The drugmakers revenues are
robust, too: Purdue Pharma, the
maker of OxyContin and one of
the largest opioid producers by
sales, pulled in an estimated $2.4
billion from opioids last year
alone, according to estimates
from health care information company IMS Health.
Thats even after executives

pleaded guilty to misleading the

public about OxyContins risk of
addiction in 2007 and the company agreed to pay more than $600
million in fines.
Opioids can be dangerous even
for people who follow doctors
orders, though they also help millions of people manage pain associated with cancer, injuries, surgeries and end-of-life care.
The
industry
group
Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers of America issued a
statement saying, We and our
members stand with patients,
providers, law enforcement, policymakers and others in calling for
and supporting national policies
and action to address opioid
abuse.
And Purdue said: Purdue does
not oppose either directly or
indirectly policies that
improve the way opioids are prescribed, including when those
policies may result in decreased
opioid use.
One of the chief solutions the
drugmakers actively promote
now are new formulations that
make their products harder to
crush or dissolve, thwarting
abusers who want to snort or
inject painkillers.
But the new versions also
extend the life of their profits with
fresh patents, and some experts
question their overall effectiveness.

Measuring Occupy Wall Streets impact, 5 years later

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK For a time,

Occupy Wall Street was everywhere with its grass-roots
encampments first in New York
City, then globally and the
refrain, We are the 99 percent!
And then it was gone. Its most
famous camp in lower Manhattan
was cleared out in an overnight
police raid two months after it
started, and other Occupy locations fizzled soon thereafter.
But five years later, demonstrators gathered once again in New
York Citys Zuccotti Park on
Saturday to commemorate the
movement and what they said has

About two dozen attended the

gathering, many holding signs to

reform. Others chanted, blew

As the group recounted its time

Occupy Wall Street takes some
of the credit for introducing
income inequality into the broader
political discourse, for inspiring
the fight for a $15 minimum wage
and, most recently, for creating a
receptive audience for the
Democratic presidential campaign
of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Everyone knows we were

right, said Caleb Maupin, who

was working in the insurance
industry when he first joined the
movement five years ago. We had
a major campaign for president
with Bernie Sanders. The campaign was like a giant Occupy
Wall Street rally, talking about the
99 percent and the one percent
because millions of people know
we were right.
Maupin, who said he would rush
to Zuccotti Park every night after
work, was arrested twice during the

He said it helped shape the countrys political discourse.

Bulldogs stunned in final minutes by Fresno

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It was a blood-and-sweat battle that culminated in a heartbreaking ending for the

College of San Mateo Bulldogs.
After holding a 10-point lead for most of
the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs (1-2 overall)
were overtaken by visiting Fresno City
College in the waning minutes as the Rams
rallied for a 34-31 win Saturday at College
Heights Stadium.
Trailing by 3, Fresno (2-1) took over at
its own 18-yard line with 3:08 remaining in

regulation. But Rams
freshman
quarterback
Andrew
Zimmerman
marched his offense
which outgained CSM in
total yards 483-411
onto the field for one
Ryan Brand final drive with a simple
game plan in mind.
Plain and simple, just go down and
score, Zimmerman said. I knew they were
going to be playing off (in the secondary).

I knew we were going to march downfield.

Zimmerman struck with a well-conceived
precision pass attack, relying on the CSM
secondary protecting against a big play. So
instead, the freshman QB 22-of-39 passing for 291 yards peeled off a flurry of
short curl routes, throwing 6-of-7 on the
drive with completions of 6, 17, 8, 9 and 6
yards before sending freshman receiver
Coltin Velasquez on a 12-yard post pattern
over the middle for the game-winning score.
It was a fitting ending to a gritty football

Panthers 46, 49ers 27

game that, for the Bulldogs, was defined by

costly mistakes, including four turnovers
and 14 penalties for 127 yards.
We wanted to win but this was the type of
game we figured it was going to be, CSM
head coach Larry Owens said. Theyre a
hard-nosed team.
The most critical of CSMs four turnovers
came on a fumble by sophomore slot receiver Ramaiah Marshall midway through the
fourth quarter with the Bulldogs leading 3121 and looking to put the game on ice.

The Frenchman won his first career IndyCar
title in his sophomore season driving for
Penske, and did it in dominating fashion by
winning the season finale
Sunday
at
Sonoma
Raceway.
Pagenaud only needed a
smooth race to put a wrap
on this breakthrough season.
Instead, he picked up his
fifth win of the year and
led a strong Penske finish
Simon
to the final podium. The
Pagenaud
Penske team went 1-2-3 in
the final series standings, the first team to do
so since another Penske trio pulled off the
sweep in 1994.
That was a strong run and I take my hat off
to the entire team, Penske said.
A 14th IndyCar title and 29th in various
forms of motorsports was guaranteed at the
start of the race because only Pagenaud and
teammate Will Power were mathematically
eligible to win the title.
Pagenaud entered the weekend 43 points
ahead of Power, but earned an additional point
for winning the pole. Then he led the most
laps and won a race that was worth double
points in the standings.
My whole career has been about this day,
reaching this level, Pagenaud said. For an
athlete, its what you work for.
Pagenauds performance was a moot point,
though: Power had mechanical issues 38 laps
into the race that sealed the outcome.
Probably needing to win to unseat
Pagenaud, Power instead finished 20th.

largest points win since Alex Zanardi defeated

Chun shoots 21-under to set major record at Evian

By Jerome Pugmire

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France Walking

toward the 18th green at the Evian
Championship with one putt to make golfing
history, In Gee Chun felt the nerves gripping
her.
After some motivating words from her caddie, she steadied herself and sank a putt from
10 feet to hold a difficult par. That putt saw
her win on 21 under to record the lowest 72round ever in a mens or womens major.

It was the 22-year-old

But it looked like she might miss the record
lowest score when her tee shot flew into the

After chatting to her caddie, she chose the
safe option and used a wedge to chop her way
onto the fairway, about 95 yards from the pin.
Then, Chun glided her ball over the water
magnificently to give herself a shot at history. But the short walk to the green felt like an
eternity.
I was so nervous, Chun said. So my caddie David Jones told me if you make the par,
I buy the dinner.
Jones might regret it when he sees the bill.
I can pick any expensive one, said a

Giants blanked by Cards, overtaken by Mets in wild-card race

By Gideon Rubin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Perhaps there was a

hangover from a stinging loss the previous
night, or maybe the Cardinals heralded
pitching prospect is on the verge of stardom.
Either way, from the Giants standpoint,
Sunday wasnt pretty.
Alex Reyes pitched seven dominant
innings in his third major league start, lifting St. Louis over San Francisco 3-0 to drop
the Giants out of the top spot in the NL
wild-card race.
The Giants fell a game behind the New
York Mets, and the Cardinals closed within
one game of San Francisco.
St. Louis got a two-run homer from rookie Aledmys Diaz to split this four-game
series, winning the final two. The Giants
finished this homestand 2-5 and have won
just one series at AT&T Park since the AllStar break.
The Giants appeared to still be reeling
from another blown ninth-inning lead in
Saturdays 3-2 loss.
That hurt, not holding on, thats a big
swing, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said
of Saturdays game.
San Francisco remained five games
behind the Dodgers in the NL West, too.

Cards 3, Giants 0
The Giants were 0 for 6
with runners in scoring
position.
We created some
chances today, we just
couldnt get them in, we
couldnt get the big hit,
Bochy said.
The
Giants
best
chance came in the sixth,
Alex Reyes
when Reyes errant throw
on Brandon Crawfords swinging bunt put
runners at second and third with one out.
Reyes then struck out Hunter Pence and
got Eduardo Nunez to fly out to left.
Hes got a mid-to-upper 90s fastball, we
werent able to square it up, Crawford said.
Reyes (3-1), considered one of the
majors best pitching prospects, hasnt disappointed since he was called up from the
minors on Aug. 9 after Michael Wacha went
on the disabled list with shoulder discomfort.
Reyes gave up four hits, struck out six and
walked two. The 22-year-old rightys fastball was consistently in the mid-to-upper
90s mph.
Hes got big stuff, a big fastball, 97, and
he was commanding it pretty good, Bochy

said. He has a plus changeup and breaking

ball. We werent going to hit him.
Seung Hwan Oh pitched a scoreless ninth
for his 18th save.
Diaz hit his 16th homer in the third off
Albert Suarez (3-4). The All-Stars shot followed Matt Carpenters two-out double.
Suarez has allowed three runs or fewer in
his first 11 career starts, but the rookie is
winless in 10 outings (including six starts)
since June 23.
Today we lost, tomorrow is a new day and
well be ready, Crawford said. For the
most part we played good baseball this
series. If we keep doing that, well be ok.

Law and order

With the Giants in desperate need of
bullpen help, Bochy said right-hander
Derek Law will be a ninth-inning option in
a reshuffling plan going forward. Giants
relievers have blown seven of 11 save
opportunities this month. The team has
already tied a franchise record with eight
losses in games it led after eight innings.
Law has an 0.39 ERA in 26 outings since
July 4.
Its time to tweak it a little bit, Bochy
said, Im not saying Laws the closer, but
with him and (right-hander Hunter
Strickland), theyre going to be more in the

Davis reaches 40 HRs in win over Texas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas Khris Davis homered

twice, giving him 40 for the season, and the As
beat Texas 5-2 on Sunday to keep the Rangers
from moving closer to the AL West title.
Davis is the first As player to hit 40 homers
since Jason Giambi had 43 in 2000. Davis has
10 homers in 15 games against the Rangers.
With two weeks left in the regular season,
the magic number for the AL-leading Rangers
(88-62) to clinch the division title remained at
five games. Seattle and Houston, who were
playing against each other Sunday, started the
day tied for second in the AL West.
While already guaranteed consecutive losing
seasons for the first time since 2007-09, the
As (66-83) won two of three in Texas to wrap
up a 6-1 road trip in which they scored 65 runs.
Ross Detwiler (2-3) went 5 1/3 innings and
limited the Rangers to two runs. The left-han-

hander Colby Lewis (6-3)
allowed three runs while
throwing 92 pitches (48 strikes) in 5 1/3
innings in only his second start since a twomonth stay on the disabled list because of a
strained right lat. He struck out four while
allowing three hits and five walks.
When Davis lined a solo shot to left field in
the fourth off Lewis, the slugger matched
Oaklands team record for homers against the
Rangers. Reggie Jackson was with the As
when he hit nine against Texas in 1974.

Davis broke that mark when he went the

opposite way in the eighth, a two-run shot to
right off Keone Kela that also pushed his RBI
total to 99.
Texas got its runs with four consecutive hits
off Detwiler with one out in the third.
Robinson Chirinos had a double and scored
on a single by Delino DeShields, who got to
third on a hit by Carlos Gomez before going
home when Ian Desmond hit a sharp grounder
that ricocheted of Detwilers knee into foul territory for a 2-0 lead.
It was the 17th start overall this season for
Lewis, the 36-year-old right-hander looking to
pitch in the postseason again. Lewis is 4-1
with a 2.34 ERA in eight postseason starts for
the Rangers, including Game 6 of the 2010 AL

momentum sways the play calling,
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. This
game we were able to run the ball and it
opened some things up. Last week
(against Denver) we needed Cam to open
some things up. Cam will play his role
for us. This was an example of being
able to keep him out of the running game
for the most part.
Newtons first pass was tipped and
intercepted by Antoine Bethea, leading
to a 49ers field goal. But the 2015 league
MVP locked in after that, completing 24
of 40 passes while running for 37 yards
on six carries.
Olsen gave the Panthers (1-1) the lead
for good in the second quarter when he

stretch and gave up
528 yards in all as they struggled to
stop Atlanta (1-1) on the ground or in
the air in a deflating loss.
Im speechless, Irvin said. Ive
never experienced this experience.
Until everybody makes a full commitment to turning this thing around were
going to be a subpar defense.
Right now, they are historically bad.
The Raiders joined the 1967 Falcons as
the only teams to give up at least 500
route. Olsen finished with five catches
for 122 yards.
Benjamin, who missed last season
with a torn ACL, finished with seven
catches for 108 yards and has three TD
catches on the season.
Most of the DBs that were on me were
small and I was able to jump and get the
ball, Benjamin said.
Bethea said the 49ers (1-1) didnt play
up to par after their 28-0 performance
against the Rams last week.
We didnt do a great job of getting off
the field on third down, Bethea said.
And were going up against a very good
offense. We can tackle better, too, but
everything is correctable.
The Panthers won despite the four
turnovers, including one colossal mistake by returner Ted Ginn Jr., who failed
to pick up the ball on a kickoff return.
After Ginn bobbled the ball twice, the
49ers recovered at the 1-yard line and
scored on the next play.
Despite losing running back Jonathan
Stewart (hamstring) in the first quarter,
the Panthers had no problems moving

yards in each of the first two games of

the season, according to Pro Football
Reference, and the 1,035 total yards
allowed through two weeks are the
most since at least 1940.
The only reason they have a win at
all is because Carr led a late comeback
last week and Del Rio made a gutsy call
to go for a 2-point conversion that
gave Oakland a 35-34 win at New
Orleans.

Khai Williams ended when he coughed up the
football and saw it recovered by Bulldogs
linebacker Colt Doughty at the CSM 5-yard
line with 8:59 remaining on the game clock.
CSM quickly went on the attack, starting
with a 12-yard run by sophomore Keenan
Smith 12 carries for a team-high 72 yards
but two plays later disaster struck when
Marshall fumbled the ball away.
It cost us the game today, Owens said of
CSMs turnovers. It cost us the game against
Modesto (in Week 1) and it cost us the game
today.
Marshalls fumble started as a big gainer, as
Brand connected with the sophomore slot on
a swing pass near the Fresno sideline.
Marshall turned upfield and motored for 35
yards; but as he broke a tackle and fought for
a few extra yards on the second effort, he was
being brought down and lost the handle on
the ball just before he hit the turf.
That was huge, said Cody Watts, Fresnos
sophomore cornerback who recovered a fumble earlier in the day. Especially our defense,
we needed a turnover. We needed that bad.
With CSM opting to stay with its up-tempo
offensive attack, instead of downshifting to
focus on clock management with a 10-point
lead, both Brand and Owens defended the
strategy.
I think it was the right thing to do,

PATRICK NGUYEN

CSM returner Rahsaan Fontenette dashes up the sideline, with a key block from Ramaiah
Marshall, for a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Bulldogs 34-31 loss to Fresno City.
Owens said. Were not going to change at
all. Weve just got to execute better.
This offense, were good and were built to
attack, Brand said. And no matter how much
were up, were going to keep attacking and
keep attacking.
But Fresno made the Bulldogs pay with two
straight scoring drives, starting with a nineplay, 77-yard march highlighted by a big
fourth-and-10 completion from Zimmerman
to sophomore Tashan Finley for 15 yards to
move the chains.
A 35-yard pass to Toler moved the ball to
the 1-yard line, to which CSMs defensive line
led by two big stops by freshman defensive
tackle Tukua Ahoia pushed the Rams back
to third-and-goal from the 3. Ahoia, however,
had to come off after the second-down stop due
to a helmet malfunction. And when CSM was
flagged for having 12 men on the field, the
resulting 1 yard penalty loomed large as
Fresno blasted the ball into the end zone on a
dive by sophomore fullback Elgin Austin to

cut CSMs lead to 31-28.

The second half was a stark contrast to a
sluggish first half for the Bulldogs, who
throughout the first quarter managed just four
yards of total offense and no first downs.
Fresno jumped out to a 7-0 lead on its first
possession of the game, an 11-play, 81-yard
march capped by a 13-yard bootleg score by
Zimmerman.
After a pair of CSM three-and-outs with
starting quarterback Bobby Calmeyn at the
helm the Bulldogs turned to Brand who
closed the first quarter by throwing an interception just past midfield. The Rams took
the momentum swing and turned it into a
quick score, as Zimmerman bulls-eyed
sophomore tight end Marquese Livers for a
29-yard touchdown on the first play of the
second quarter.
CSM finally got on the board with 1:20
remaining in the half. Brand found a tempo
after being sacked at the CSM 24-yard line. But
facing a third-and-17 jam, he hit fullback

Sione Finefeuiaki on a quick screen pass and

the big sophomore rambled for a 23-yard pickup. Two plays later, Brand hit Marshall on a
swing pass to the right sideline and the speedy
slot receiver dashed up the sideline for a 49yard score to close the Fresno lead to 14-7.
Brand then opened the second half with a
big completion thanks to the ups of freshman
wide receiver Line Latu. With the Bulldogs
facing second-and-19 from the CSM 4-yard
line, Latu ran a fly route and out-jumped the
Fresno cornerback for an impressive airborne
grab, then stayed on his feet to dance to the
end zone for a 96-yard touchdown, tying the
game at 14-14.
At that point of the game we felt pretty
comfortable but I guess we got too comfortable, Latu said. We werent able to close it
out like we had to.
After both teams defenses dug in Fresno
and CSM traded three-and-outs, and Fresno
was held to a second to punt the ball back to
the Bulldogs Finefeuiaki gave his team the
lead for the first time on the day when Brand
dumped a play-action screen into the flat and
Finefeuiaki bulled through two defenders to
clip the pylon for the score, giving CSM a
21-14 lead.
CSM place kicker Jose Elizondo added a 29yard field goal with three minutes remaining
in the third quarter to give the Bulldogs their
first 10-point advantage of the game. CSM
sophomore punter Tasi Teu also proved a
clutch leg, including a 45-yard boot in the
third quarter to pin Fresno inside its own 1yard line.
Following the game, CSMs two quarterbacks Brand and Calmeyn broke the
postgame powwow and walked across the
field talking about the next step for the
Bulldogs this Saturdays game at Butte
College with CSM owning a sub-.500 record
for the first time, three weeks into the season
or later, since 2008.
(We talked about) just that weve got to
come back sharp Monday, Brand said. That
we have to come back focused. Its a loss. Were
1-2. But weve got a lot of football left. Each
game, whether a loss or a win, is a learning situation and we just have to keep getting better.

No. 3 Louisville trying to stay grounded

By Gary B. Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Lamar Jackson has

become a leading Heisman Trophy contender
on a Louisville team that has risen to No. 3
in the nation. The tough part for the
Cardinals, now, is to stay composed on the
road to a possible league title and shot at a
national championship.
You know, its crazy but it isnt anything
to me, Jackson said after the Cardinals 6320 shellacking of Florida State, which fell 11
places to No. 13. You have to stay humble.
Stay humble and stay calm. Everything is
calm to me.
Louisvilles big Atlantic Coast Conference
win, however, earned a seven-spot jump in
the latest Associated Press Top 25 and has the
Cardinals (3-0) in the title discussion. The
ranking matches their Nov. 5, 2006 standing
during Petrinos first stint with the
Cardinals.

its going right now, running back Brandon

teammate Jimmy Vasser by 119 points in
1998.
It was pretty realistic considering it was
(worth) double points, Power said. Its just
how it flows, when its your year, its your
year, and Simon has done a phenomenal job
to lead a 1-2-3 finish.
Power finished second in the standings and
Helio Castroneves was third.
Throughout the entire season, he was not
only an amazing driver but a champion,
Castroneves said of teammate Pagenaud.
Really honored to be working with a guy
like that. The whole team was a dream to work
with and today was the proof of that.

Radcliff said. We work

so hard that I feel this is
the way we wanted it and
we planned to do it.

School and College of
San Mateo offensive lineman

Mahoni
Kiola Mahoni blocking for him as the
Cardinals starting right
guard is at the top of the Heisman conversation following a stellar game against the
Seminoles.
He collected five more touchdowns, four
running, to raise his season total to 18.
Jackson also completed 13 of 20 passes for
216 yards and ran 17 times for 146, including an impressive 47-yard TD run that led former Virginia Tech QB and NFL free agent
Michael Vick to tweet that Jackson is better
than he was at the same point in college.
Yet for all the praise and Heisman talk, the
sophomore was pretty tough on himself afterward. Noting seven incompletions and an end-

zone interception, he gave his performance a

D and downplayed the speculation about the
award given to the nations best player.
I try not to pay attention to that,
Jackson said. I try to keep that out of my
mind. Im not the type to get hyped. ... Im
just chill.
Petrino also suggested that the coaching
staff will try to keep players egos in check
during video sessions. Next up for Louisville
is Saturdays non-conference meeting at
Marshall.
The Cardinals have lost four in a row to the
Thundering Herd, which means they cant
look past them toward their next high-profile challenge on Oct. 1 at defending ACC
champion Clemson. The Tigers (3-0)
remained fifth after Saturdays 59-0 rout of
South Carolina State.
We will be very critical, very hard on
them and they need to be hard on themselves, Petrino said. You need to watch the
video and see if you utilized your technique
right. ... Well go out and run and get right
back into our normal routine.

Its the fourth time Power has finished second in the standings, but it was easy to swallow because he won his only title in 2014.
And, he missed the season opening race this
year when IndyCar ruled him out with concussion-like symptoms it was an inner ear
infection so climbing back into title contention was somewhat of a victory.
If I hadnt won a championship, I guess it
would be a pretty bad day, Power said. But
finishing second, considering how I started
the year, getting four wins, its a good year.
A year after losing the title in the final race
Juan Pablo Montoya led the standings
wire-to-wire, but a Scott Dixon win in the
finale cost Penske the championship on a tiebreaker the Penske organization cruised to
the top of the series. The combination of
Pagenaud, Power and Montoya won 10 of the
16 races.
Across all motorsports, Penske this year

also achieved its 500th pole, its 100th victory in NASCARs top Sprint Cup Series, and
now an additional championship. The Penske
team still has another shot: Brad Keselowski
and Joey Logano both had top-five finishes
Sunday in the opening race of NASCARs
playoffs.

Goodbye target
Scott Dixon didnt give sponsor Target the
send-off it had hoped after 27 years in
IndyCar.
Dixon started the day tied for third in the
standings and trying to keep his streak of finishing third or better in the standings every
year since 2007.
But he had radio issues, had to change his
helmet during a caution, and finished 17th. It
dropped him to sixth in the final standings.
Its the lowest Dixon has finished since
2005.

M-A repeats at
Menlo tourney
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Menlo-Atherton girls volleyball team

rallied for five straight wins Saturday to sweep
through the Chris Chandler Invitational at
Menlo School to win its second consecutive
title at the annual tournament.
The Bears (8-4) battled past Palo Alto (4-4) in
the championship game, going the distance in
the best-of-three-sets match
for a 25-17, 18-25, 15-13
victory.
Trailing early in the
third set, M-A got back
into system behind the
setting prowess of senior
Kirby Knapp. Having sat
out two matches last
week due to triceps tenKirby Knapp donitis, she locked in
with outside hitters Jacqueline DiSanto and
Kiana Sales in the closing set.
I had a talk with them about leading this
team and being the emotional leaders and
they stepped up and we won the game, M-A
head coach Fletcher Anderson said. They really stepped up.
Sales worked the back row against Paly to
total a team-high 13 digs. DiSanto finished
with six kills and seven digs. Knapp finished
with 18 assists.
Senior opposite Eliza Grover totaled a teamhigh 10 kills and produced a clutch block
down the stretch to help preserve the win.
To ease Knapp back into action, M-A
opened the day running a 6-2 offense along
with senior setter Chloe Johnson for wins
over Gunn and Woodside in pool play. Then
Knapp shared setter duties with DiSanto in a
quarterfinal win over Aragon.
In the semifinals the Bears reverted to a
standard 5-1 in a 25-16, 25-12 win over Sacred
Heart Prep, with Knapp totaling 21 assists.

Heat-related illnesses
rampant during Rams game
LOS ANGELES Authorities
said nearly 160 were treated for
heat-related illnesses during the
Los Angeles Rams first regularseason home game.
The city Fire Department says an
additional 14 people were taken to
the hospital for similar reasons but

none were in critical condition.

More than 91, 000 people
attended the game at Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum as downtown
baked in 90-degrees weather.
The National Weather Service
said a weak onshore flow pushed
the mercury across the state where
temperatures hit the 80s and 90s
in many spots, while temperatures
in inland areas hit triple digits.

LPGA

impressive 65 to move up to fifth
ahead of countrywoman I.K. Kim.
Chun finished the day with a 2under 69, the most modest of her four
rounds. Not that it took anything
away from her achievement.
I just cannot believe I won the
Evian Championship and made 21
under par, Chun said moments after
her win as she clutched the trophy.
Im not dreaming right?
Some difference from last year,
when she missed the cut here at Evian
Resort. In 2014 she tied for 65th.
Over four days of intensely accurate driving and clinical putting, she
was near-faultless this time. Her only
significant blemish was a double
bogey on the ninth hole in the third
round and even then she limited
the damage having opted for a twostroke penalty.
There was one bogey on Sunday,
on the 14th, but Chun made a birdie
on the next to move back to 21 under
and almost added another birdie on
the 16th, with her attempt stopping
just short.
Chun is the only the second player
in LPGA history to have her first two
LPGA wins come at majors. The
other was countrywoman Se Ri Pak
in 1998.
After making her record-breaking
putt, Chun raised both arms in the
air.
I think shes an amazing ambas-

Lydia Ko

sador for the

womens game,
said Lydia Ko,
the defending
Evian champion. You can
kind of see that
from her personality.
It was a tournament to forget

for Ko.
Chasing her third major, the 19year-old New Zealander finished in a
tie for 43rd at 2 over.
She did enough, however, to win
the third edition of the Rolex Annika
Major Award rewarding the player
with the best combined record at all
five majors and named after 10-time
major winner Annika Sorenstam.
For (Sorenstam) to be here and for
her to be able to present the trophy
to me makes it even more special,
Ko said.
Ko won the ANA Inspiration in
April, where Chun was tied for second.
That tournament was Chuns first
start after a month out with a back
injury caused in bizarre circumstances. She was struck by a hardcase suitcase that rival South Korean
player Ha Na Jangs father dropped
down an escalator at the Singapore
airport.
I was struggling, between the
injury and my body and psychological problems, Chun said through a
translator. It was an inner struggle,
and it was going around and around,
so it was difficult for me to get out of
that situation.

Sully soars over Blair Witch, Bridget at box office

By Derrik J. Lang

LOS ANGELES Blair Witch, Bridget

The Warner Bros. dramatization of the Miracle
on the Hudson directed by Clint Eastwood and
starring Tom Hanks as Captain Chesley Sully
Sullenberger remained at No. 1 for the second

The film tells the story of Sullenbergers
emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549
in the Hudson River in 2009 and the subsequent
National Transportation Safety Board investigation.
A trio of newcomers failed to fly close to the
haul earned by Sully, which stands at $70.5

the titular character crawled away with $8.2 million.
We always think just because something has
a recognizable brand name that itll automatically be a hit with audiences, but thats not always
the case, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box office tracker comScore.
Bridget Joness Baby fared better overseas,
where the third film in the film series starring
Zellweger as the goofy British singleton from
Helen Fieldings novels earned $29.9 million in
39 markets, including Jones native United
Kingdom.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt portraying NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, domestically opened at

Waiter, theres a flea

in my soup (Part 2)

Ken WHITE

Last week, we talked about eas

and other pests who pester our
pets. Not to be confused with the
1972 blaxploitation crime drama
Super Fly, this week its Super
Fleas. They are a real deal. Im not
kidding.
Considering their diminutive
size, every ea seems possessed of
powers worthy of a Marvel comic.
Wingless, unable to y, they jump
up to 300 times their own body
length. They detect tiny changes in
a rooms temperature when a warm-

blooded host (dog, cat, you) enters

a room. Anyone whos ever tried to
squish a ea knows that while tiny
theyre almost impossible to
crush.
Youve likely heard of so-called
super strains of bacteria emerging
as a result of the frequent use (some
argue overuse) of antibiotics. The
theory is that the few bacteria naturally resistant to the drugs, as the
only individuals who survive to
reproduce, are in turn producing
whole generations carrying that
same natural resistance. This is a
twisted version of evolution; natural selection unnaturally enhanced

by humankinds interference with

nature. Its the same thing with
eas.
Who knows, maybe its one out
of a billion or one out of a trillion,
but those few eas resistant to the
chemicals which have wiped out
legions of their cousins are now
those eas surviving to reproduce
(think of them as X-Fleas), producing greater numbers of similarly
Super Fleas.
This process may be further
enabled by the inconsistent use of
ea products thereby weakening
the exposure to the active chemicals and allowing eas to develop a

Robert Durst assigned to medical prison in Indiana
NEW ORLEANS Real estate heir Robert Durst has been
assigned to an Indiana prison which has a medical unit,
rather than the California prison requested because he faces
a murder trial in Los Angeles, attorney Dick DeGuerin said
Sunday.
Durst, 72, has been in the St. Charles Parish jail and has
a contract to hold federal prisoners, since April 2015.
DeGuerin said Sunday that the Bureau of Prisons has
assigned Durst to the federal prison in Terre Haute.
Hes charged in California with killing his friend Susan
Berman in 2000 to keep her from talking to New York prosecutors about the disappearance of his first wife in 1982. In
April, Kathleen Dursts family asked a judge in New York to
declare her legally dead a step needed to file a wrongful
death suit against Durst.
Durst was detained the night before HBO broadcast the
finale of a documentary about him, the two women, and the
death of a neighbor in Galveston, Texas.

HARBOR
Continued from page 1
to provide good governance and clear direction to staff, something the commission
failed to do in the past, she said.
She also wants to encourage more public/private partnerships so the district can
be less reliant on property taxes.
Mooney is running because he has one
primary goal to bring ferry service to
Foster City.
The abandoned Werder Pier adjacent to the
San Mateo-Hayward Bridge would be a perfect place for ferry service, he said.
The district, however, does not control
the land around the pier but Mooney wants
it to take a more active role in boosting
ferry service on the Bayside.
It does own Pillar Point Harbor on the
coast and operate Oyster Point Marina in
South San Francisco, where there is ferry
service.
Mattusch, captain of the Huli Cat, has
worked out of Pillar Point since 1992.
Mattusch is keen on developing a strategic plan that will guide management for
years to come on what facility or infrastructure improvements should be made a priority.
The harbor hasnt changed much since
1992 and thats sad, he said about Pillar
Point.
He envisions many improvements taking
place there over the next 10 years.
Brennan is seeking a second term to continue the initiatives she supports such as
dredging work around Pillar Point and
improvements to the Coastal Trail.
Theres still a long to-do list, Brennan
said.
Rogers is running because he has attended
meetings and found them to be entertaining.
The craziness is easily controlled with
structure and be guided into a more organ-

ized group, Rogers said.

Larenas is a former commercial fisherman
and has worked with the Harbor District
over the years as chair of the San Mateo
County Surfrider Foundation.
Larenas would like to see the commission
take a lead in improving water quality near
its properties.
Larenas sees why dissolution was recommended in the past but said its getting better.
It would be difficult for the county Parks
Department to take on running Pillar Point,
he said.
Rogers agreed, saying the county has a
hard enough time running the Coyote Point
marina.
Even Mattusch wonders why the Harbor
District does not operate Coyote Point.
No one can manage it better, Mattusch
said.
Larenas envisions Pillar Point as one day
being a world-class destination for
boaters and tourists. The Bay Trail could
also be improved at Oyster Point with a new
biotech campus in the pipeline nearby.
Kiraly wants to make sure the commissioners fill the role of guardians of public
funds.
She notes how the district now details in
its budget just how taxpayer money is spent
compared to its enterprise funds, which
comes from leases of slips and properties.
Mattusch would like to see more recreational opportunities or other draws to
attract more tourists.
He suggested a nautical flea market would
work at both marinas. The pier at Pillar
Point also needs to be expanded, he said.
Brennan said the district provides critical
emergency response on the water that no
other agency can fulfill. The thriving commercial fishing industry must be supported
because fresh, sustainable seafood is a benefit to the community. She points to a
recent commission vote that lowered fishbuying fees, once the highest in the state,
as a way to protect the industry.
We evaluated the concern and took

Monday Sept. 19, 2016

action, Brennan said.

Rogers said the role of the district is to
manage the two marinas, keep them functioning and up to date.
The district does a good job for fisherman. They went out of their way to help the
crab fisherman, he said about a shortened
season.
Larenas said commissioners need to
work together and run the harbor through
the general manager.
He suggests the community take a more
active role in crafting the districts future by
forming working groups.
It will bring more transparency, he
said.
As a project leader and scientist, Larenas
said he will bring leadership to the commission.
Rogers said that the commission currently lacks focus, however.
They need to be reminded they have a
focus and not just discuss the merits of sand
volleyball that takes up half a meeting,
Rogers said.
The districts biggest shortcomings, he
said, is that individual squabbles have gotten in the way.
Rogers envisions, with the right leadership, that both Pillar Point and Oyster
Point could be showcase marinas.
Kiraly credits her time on the board with
helping to turn the district around. She was
appointed about the same time new that
General Manager Steve McGrath was hired.
Theres been a lot of improvements
since I was appointed to the board. I want to
continue the momentum, she said.
Mooney said the district needs to start
taking better care of its infrastructure.
It has deteriorating buildings that are at
the end of their useful lives, Mooney said.
He thinks the district can find lease
opportunities with private parties to make
improvements to Pillar Point.
It could be like Pier 39, Mooney said.
Mattusch said that hiring a new general
manager has helped the district turn the
corner.

19

Kiraly agreed and said now that the district has put a list of priorities together it is
time to implement them.
She said micromanaging by the commission was a problem for the former general
manager and staff.
We need less micromanaging, she said.
Brennan also praised the new general
manager.
Its a whole new staff and McGrath is
doing a great job, Brennan said.
She supported beach volleyball access
and wants to see more kayakers and recreational opportunities.
She also said it will be the commissions
job to keep an eye on sea level rise and what
its impacts will be, especially at Oyster
Point related to landfill subsidence.
Tsunami preparedness and emergency
planning should also be a priority, Brennan
said.
Work must also be done to address
Americans with Disabilities Act requirements at the marinas, she said.
An effort must also be made to reduce
water pollution, she said.
Pillar Point needs to be modernized, she
said. Some buildings could be torn down and
replaced with two-story buildings for
restaurants to take advantage of the views.
Brennan has been proactive in taking
training classes from the California Special
Districts Association to become more productive on the board.
Its working much more productively
these days, Brennan said about the Board
of Commissioners.
Mooneys responses to all questions were
that he thinks the district can help solve the
horrible traffic on Highway 101 and state
Route 92 by boosting ferry service on the
Bayside.
He wants to see more ferry terminals in
the county, not just in Foster City.
A regional crisis is coming and ferry
service will be critical for rescue and evacuation and gridlock and traffic, Mooney
said.
The election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Chinatown activist Rose Pak dies

BAY CITY NEWS

Longtime San Francisco Chinatown activist Rose Pak

died Sunday at the age of 68, according to city ofcials.
Mayor Ed Lee said in a statement, This is a great loss to
the city as a whole, and the Chinese community in particular a community that Rose served, supported and fought
for, often ercely, her entire adult life.
City ofcials said Pak battled on behalf of the poor, of
immigrants and of women, and ercely advocated for the
renovation of public housing in Chinatown.

Pak also strongly advocated for Lee to be appointed

mayor in 2011 after then-Mayor Gavin Newsom became
lieutenant governor.
Lee became the citys rst Chinese-American mayor and
was elected to the position later that year, then re-elected in
2015.
Pak worked to transform the Chinese Hospital into a
$160 million modern facility, as well as helped make the
under-construction Central Subway a reality, connecting
Chinatown to San Franciscos South of Market area, according to city ofcials.

Continued from page 1
Last week, the City Council conducted a study session addressing neighborhood parking issues that analyzed
the citys current residential parking
permit program.
It also approved policy and guidelines for residential traffic calming as
more and more residents in different
parts of the city seek to slow traffic
with tools such as speed humps.
Traffic calming can get spendy, however, and the city does not have the
resources to process the requests and
manage the projects, according to a
staff report by Christian Hammack,
the citys Parking and Transportation
Demand manager.
The city currently has 14 active traffic calming requests but only has
$200,000 budgeted for such projects.
When it comes to recent requests for
parking permits from neighborhoods,

it easier to identify schools and districts in need of additional resources

from the state.
You want all those measures, so at
the local level you can dig into each
school and can learn a whole lot about
it, he said. But from the state perspective, to provide that overall
accountability, you need a way to identify those most in need.
In all though, he said he believed
there is merit to offering an accountability system, especially one focusing
on such a deep dive into the variety of
metrics affecting a schools quality.
In a multi-billion dollar system,
you need accountability, Lempert
said. To keep an intense focus on
achievement and making sure all kids
are getting the support they need,
there needs to be an accountability
system.
Children Now and a variety of other
state education advocacy groups delivered a letter to state officials seeking

the development of an index meeting

the common ground between the oversimplified API score and complexity
of the most revised system. State officials have said they will continue
revising the new system, before
launching an online portal early next
year.
San Mateo County Superintendent
Anne Campbell also praised the merits
of the new system.
The state boards adoption of a new
accountability system for California
signals a welcome shift away from the
one-dimensional system of the past.
As educators, we recognize the importance of measuring student success
with more than just test scores, and we
need to do the same for schools, she
said in an email. Because the federal
requirements are still in flux, we appreciate the state board putting the needs
of students and parents first and moving forward in such a positive way to
build our state system.

requests years ago, according to

Hammacks report.
Many requests now aim to solve
neighborhood parking issues that are
not caused by non-residential intrusion, Hammack wrote in the report.
The main reasons for the requests are
now overcrowding in homes, which
leads to far more vehicles than on-site
parking spaces; people buying oversized vehicles that dont fit in older
garages and take up a greater amount of
street parking; residents using their
garages for storage; and residents owning multiple cars.
The parking crunch is now at night
in many neighborhoods.
The citys residential parking permit
is proposed to be modified to restrict
parking permits to one permit per
licensed driver and possibly charge
fees for the permits.
The city will update its municipal
code and zoning code to improve
neighborhood impacts, according to
the staff report.
The council is also being asked to
more clearly define driveway rules,
rules on recreational vehicles and

boats, abandoned vehicles, commercial vehicle parking and curb painting.

The city once would paint small
amounts of red curb, called red tipping,
on the sides of driveways to help
encourage parkers to provide access to
the driveway.
The city may start red tipping again
and charge a fee to support the program.
Staff is currently preparing code
amendments and is finalizing the residential permit parking program policy
for City Council approval.
Downtown, the Jefferson garage has
space for 585 cars. An electronic sign
indicates the number of spaces available to park in on multiple floors. Its
designed to get people in and out of
their cars quicker so they can go shop,
dine or catch a movie.
With more development on the way
downtown, parking and traffic management will continue to be a priority
for the citys Complete Streets
Advisory Committee, which has
helped to form many traffic calming
and parking solutions..

BLAST
Continued from page 7
the blast in Manhattans Chelsea neighborhood, said there didnt appear to be any link
to international terrorism. He said the second device appeared similar in design to
the first, but did not provide details.
Were going to be very careful and
patient to get to the full truth here, New
Yorks mayor, Bill de Blasio, a Democrat,
said Sunday. We have more work to do to
be able to say what kind of motivation was
behind this. Was it a political motivation?
A personal motivation? What was it? We do
not know that yet.
Cell phones were discovered at the site of
both bombings, but no Tannerite residue
was identified in the New Jersey bomb remnants, in which a black powder was detected, said the official, who spoke to The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to
comment on an ongoing investigation.
Authorities said the Manhattan bombing
and the blast 11 hours earlier at the site of a
5K race to benefit Marines and sailors in
Seaside Park, New Jersey, didnt appear to
be connected, though they werent ruling

anything out. The New Jersey race was cancelled and no one was injured.
Officials havent revealed any details
about the makeup of the pressure-cooker
device, except to say it had wires and a cellphone attached to it.
Technicians in Quantico, Virginia, were
examining evidence from the Manhattan
bombing, described by witnesses as a deafening blast that shattered storefront windows and injured bystanders with shrapnel
in the mostly residential neighborhood on
the citys west side. All 29 of the injured
people were released from the hospital by
Sunday afternoon.

Refugee crisis
The explosion left many rattled in a city
that had marked the 15th anniversary of the
9/11 terrorist attacks only a week earlier
and where a United Nations meeting to
address the refugee crisis in Syria was scheduled on Monday.
People didnt know what was going on,
and thats what was scary, said Anthony
Zayas, an actor who was in the Chelsea
neighborhood Saturday night when the
bomb went off. You didnt know if was
coming from the subway beneath you, you
didnt know if there were other bombs, you
didnt know where to go.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Tannerite, which is often used in target

practice to mark a shot with a cloud of
smoke and small explosion, is legal to purchase and can be found in many sporting
goods stores. Experts said a large amount
would be required to create a blast like the
one Saturday night, as well as an accelerant
or other ignitor.
Police and federal spokespeople wouldnt
comment on the presence of explosive
material recovered at the scene.
The bomb in Manhattan appeared to have
been placed near a large dumpster in front of
a building undergoing construction, another law enforcement official, speaking on
condition of anonymity to discuss the
ongoing investigation, told the AP. The
second device, described by the same official as a pressure cooker with wires and a
cellphone attached to it, was removed early
Sunday by a bomb squad robot and New York
City police were preparing to blow it up in
a controlled explosion later in the day,
authorities said.
Homemade pressure cooker bombs were
used in the Boston Marathon attacks in
2013 that killed three people and injured
more than 260.
Officials solicited tips from the public,
telling reporters at a news conference in the
New York Police Departments headquarters

that they didnt know who set off the bomb

or why.
An additional 1,000 state troopers and
members of the National Guard were placed
at transit hubs and other points throughout
New York City and extra police officials
were patrolling Manhattan, officials said.
Members of the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task
Force were investigating the blast along
with New York Police Department detectives, fire marshals and other federal investigators.

Tumblr
Meanwhile, a law enforcement official
said federal investigators had discounted a
claim of responsibility on the social blogging service Tumblr. Investigators looked
into it and didnt consider it relevant to the
case, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing
investigation.
Anthony Stanhope, 40, a songwriter who
lives a block away from the bombing, said
he needed more answers before he could feel
safe.
I think its terrorism I dont know
what kind. Its some kind of fanaticism, I
dont know exactly what it is, he said. But
somebody has an agenda to cause trouble in
this country.

The attack in St. Cloud, a city of about 65,000 people 60
miles (95 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis, began
shortly after an explosion in a crowded New York City
neighborhood injured 29 people. A suspicious device was
found a few blocks away and safely removed. Hours before
that, a pipe bomb exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey,
shortly before thousands of runners were due to participate
in a charity 5K race. There was no immediate indication that
the incidents were linked.
The mall remained closed Sunday. Of the nine victims
seven men, a woman and a 15-year-old girl three
remained hospitalized, officials said.
Photos and video of the mall taken hours after the incident showed groups of shoppers waiting to be released,
including some huddled together near a food court entrance.
Harley and Tama Exsted, of Isle, were in St. Cloud to
watch their son play in a college golf tournament and were
in the mall when the attack happened.
All of a sudden I heard pop, pop, pop, Harley Exsted
told the St. Cloud Times. I thought someone tipped over a
shelf. All of a sudden these people started running. I just
saw everybody running our way.
The couple were unharmed and said they helped another
woman who was running from the scene to her car.
Falconer, who was shopping when he confronted the
attacker, is the former police chief in Albany, which is
about 15 miles northwest of St. Cloud, and the president
and owner of a firing range and firearms training facility.

The second blow for the Doran family came in 1967 when
Marine Patrick Michael Doran was killed in action in
Vietnam. A graduate of Burlingame High School, Doran was
20 years old when he was fatally injured by an explosive
device near Quan Nam, according to his military record.
Dorans name is inscribed on Panel 15E, Row 57 of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the nations capital. In
2004, the state renamed the bridge that spans San Mateo
Creek The Officer Eugene and Marine Lance Corporal
Patrick M. Doran Memorial Bridge. Carey finds it
poignant that the son was not much older than his students, a fact highlighted when we cover Vietnam.
About the bridges most beautiful honor: The selection
came in 1970, bestowed by the American Institute of Steel
Construction. The bridge should be viewed from underneath
to truly appreciate its beauty. The bridge was designed by
architect Mario Ciampi of San Rafael, known for his work
in reinforced concrete structures. His other designs include
the University Art Museum and the Newman Center Chapel
in Berkeley.
Also, the portion of the freeway that runs from Daly City
to Cupertino is often referred to as the worlds most beautiful freeway. Its officially entitled the Junipero Serra
Freeway. Theres also another Serra connection: A massive
26-foot tall statue of the Spanish missionary stands not far
from the Doran Bridge.
