Proposal to demolish ice rink back on table?

Bridgepointe Shopping Center owner seeks to submit new application to San Mateo
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A few months after San Mateo

officials turned down a developers
$4 million offer in exchange for
essentially demolishing the
Bridgepointe Shopping Center ice
rink, the property owner is planning to return with another proposal.
SPI Holdings has requested the
City Council waive the typical

one-year deferral period it must
otherwise wait since being denied
in April, and to be allowed to fasttrack a new application. The council is tentatively slated to consider the request Nov. 7 and, if
approved, SPI is expected to return
with another application.
The issue dates back decades
when a former City Council mandated either an ice rink or recre-
ational use be outlined as part of

the sites 1998 master plan. Now,
SPI is hoping to amend the planning document, allowing it to tear
down the rink and construct more
retail in its place.
SPI has since submitted several
renditions of its proposal, with
the most recent offering $3 million for recreation and $1 million
toward San Mateos Police
Activities League.
The proposals have outraged the

skating community as well as
advocates who say the Peninsula
already has too few recreational
options and urged city officials to
deny the request.
The council unanimously agreed
and, although the city cannot
legally request SPI cough up more
then it offered, wasnt willing to
let it go for far less than it would
cost to replace.
Mayor Joe Goethals, who is in

the early stages of working with
other city and county officials to
consider building a new regional
ice rink, said he would consider
waiving the yearlong waiting
period if SPI returned with an
application that was substantially
different.
To me, the application would

legalization questions
San Carlos community discusses potential hazards posed by Prop. 64
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With an initiative to legalize

recreational use of marijuana on
the fall ballot, local parents, students and health officials sparked
a conversation on the potential
health hazards associated with
youth drug use.
San Mateo County Health
System officials hosted a town
hall discussion Wednesday, Sept.
28, at Central Middle School in

San Carlos designed to clarify
misconceptions surrounding local
children smoking pot.
Marijuana use among adolescents and teens in San Carlos is on
the decline over recent years,
according to data presented during
the meeting, but the legalization
ballot initiative could present a
new set of issues, said Montzerrat
Garcia, program director with the
Youth Leadership Institute who
facilitated the discussion.

could mean, she said of the potential legalization for non-medicinal
uses under Proposition 64 going

Daly City man sentenced to 28 years for stabbing

By Keith Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A Daly City man was sentenced in a

Redwood City courtroom Thursday to 28
years in prison for stabbing a high school
student outside his school in 2013, San
Mateo County prosecutors said.
Erik Montes, 21, was sentenced by Judge
Joseph Scott for stabbing a 17-year-old
high school student outside Daly Citys
Thornton Continuation High School at
1:30 p.m. April 15.
That day Montes and two accomplices
parked their car about a block from the
school, according to prosecutors. When the
victim was outside among a group of people, Montes went up to the boy and stabbed
him in the neck, head, hand, torso and arm.
The accomplices, Michael House and

Christopher Merlo, kicked and punched the
victim after he fell to the ground.
The boy was rushed to a hospital where he
underwent emergency surgery and survived,
prosecutors said.
San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said the only motive prosecutors were able to identify was violence
between gangs.
Wagstaffe said the victim was not in a
gang but associated with gangmembers.
On the seventh day of a jury trial in April
of this year, Montes pleaded no contest to
attempted murder and admitted causing great
bodily injury and being a gangmember. He
also pleaded no contest to three other
felonies including two counts of felony
threats on police officers, according to
California to ban some

pesticides near schools
By Scott Smith
FRESNO California is moving to ban

farmers from spraying pesticides into the
air near schools and day care centers under a
newly proposed rule that will be among the
nations toughest, regulators told the
Associated Press on Thursday.
Crop dusters flying over fields, airblasters spraying orchards and fumigants
that risk blowing onto campuses will no
longer be allowed within a quarter-mile of
those facilities, said Brian Leahy, director
of the state Department of Pesticide
Regulation.
Some counties already require such buffer
zones, but the rule will create uniformity
statewide, better protecting students and

their teachers from illness, he said. The
rule will safeguard 3,500 schools and day
cares, affect roughly 2, 500 California
farms and carry fines of up to $5,000, officials said.
California grows nearly half of the
nations fruits, nuts and vegetables. It is
also home to nearly 40 million people,
making it the most populated state and
necessitating stricter pesticide rules
because of its close quarters, officials said.
The proposal is angering farmers already
under pressure from five years of drought
and rising costs, such as a law recently
signed by Gov. Jerry Brown that grants
farmworkers the same rights to overtime
pay as other employees.

prosecutors.
Montes was to be sentenced on June 23,
but on that day he made a motion to replace
his court-appointed private defender with an
attorney he retained.
Montes and his new attorney Dek
Ketchum made a motion to withdraw the no
contest plea because they said private
defender Jonathan McDougall was incompetent and coerced Montes into making the
plea.
Scott allowed Ketchum to replace
McDougall but rejected Montes motion to
withdraw his plea, after finding that
Charges dropped against

woman who had steroid reaction
A San Carlos woman who led police on a
wild car chase had reportedly been experiencing a severe reaction
to a steroid she was given
during a recent surgery,
prompting prosecutors
to dismiss all charges
against her this week.
Karen Teichmann, 54,
had no recollection of her
bizarre incident April 25,
and is believed to have
Karen
experienced involuntary
Teichmann
unconsciousness stemming from a dose of the steroid dexamethasone, which she had been given while under
general anesthesia a few days earlier, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Based on her condition and doctors
reports, prosecutors agreed to dismiss all
charges Wednesday.
Teichmann had faced two counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, assault on a police
officer, two counts of making a bomb
threat, fleeing police and two counts of vandalism.
Teichmann, who had no criminal record or
prior mental health problems, behaved
strangely during a 5-mile pursuit, brushing
her teeth during the chase, honking her horn
and waving at pedestrians.
The incident began when she crashed into
a Belmont fire station on Alameda de las
Pulgas around 7:40 a.m. April 25. She fled
in her Toyota and crashed again at a Safeway
on El Camino Real, according to prosecutors.
She drove on the wrong side and at one
point she screamed she had a bomb and
threw her purse containing $6,480 out the
window.
A patrol car eventually rammed her off the
road and described the incident to deputies as
an awesome and exciting chase, according to prosecutors.
McDougall did not coerce Montes.

Ketchum called the case tragic but would
not comment on the fairness of the sentence
because he represented Montes late in the
case.
He said the victim suffered really serious
injuries, which have changed his life.
Merlo will serve five years in prison after
pleading no contest to felony assault and
admitting to a serious felony, which will
count as a strike. He also admitted to being
a gangmember.
House was sentenced to three years in
prison after pleading no contest to felony
assault and a misdemeanor charge of being a
gangmember. Ketchum said the case epitomizes the violence that occurs in underprivileged communities and the real problem is
the underlying cause of the violence.
Local briefs
She was taken to a psychiatric ward and
doctors eventually determined she had a
manic reaction to the steroid.
The womans family said her behavior had
been strange since she was discharged from
Stanford Hospital after having a surgery
April 20, Wagstaffe said.
Prior to charges being dismissed,
Teichmann had been out of custody on her
own supervised recognizance and her behavior has reportedly returned to normal,
Wagstaffe said.
Neighbors help catch alleged burglar

A group of San Mateo good Samaritans
helped catch a thief who allegedly broke
into a womans home Monday morning.
Shakeel Chand, a 23-year-old San Mateo
man, was arrested for burglary, possession
of stolen property and possession of a
stolen vehicle after the homeowner and
neighbors chased him down, according to
police.
The woman returned to her home on the
400 block of Sylvan Avenue around 11:25
a.m. Sept. 26, to find a window screen had
been removed. Inside her home, she allegedly confronted Chand, who ran out the front
door. The victim gave chase, while nearby
neighbors who heard the commotion quickly responded. They were able to corral
Chand nearby until officers showed up,
according to police.
Chand is well known to police and a
reported stolen vehicle was located in front
of the womans home and later linked to the
attempted burglar. Following the arrest,
officers conducted a search of Chands home
and found additional evidence linked to a
vehicle larceny in the city, according to
police.
The case is a great example of how community members partner with the department to be the ears and eyes of law
enforcement, according to police.

Gov. Brown approves

Tears stream down the cheeks of the daughter of Alfred Olango while she is embraced by her mother after the loss of Alfred
Olango, who was shot by El Cajon police Tuesday, as the family gathers at a news conference in San Diego.
Family of slain man wants

police to release full video
By Julie Watson and Brian Melley
EL CAJON An unarmed black

man fatally shot by an officer in a
San Diego suburb was unjustly killed
and the police department and chief
prosecutor are trying to sway public
opinion by only releasing a single,
favorable frame from video of the
shooting, representatives of the
mans family said Thursday in
demanding the full video be shown.
After two nights of angry protests
in El Cajon, where the shooting
occurred Tuesday afternoon, Alfred
Olangos family gathered with
lawyers and religious leaders and
urged people to continue demonstrat-
ing but implored them to do it peacefully to honor his memory.

Olangos anguished mother said her
son was a good, joyful man who suffered a mental breakdown over the
recent death of his best friend and
needed compassion when police
encountered him. Pamela Benge said
her family had escaped war-torn
Uganda to come to the U.S. for safety
and she asked why police didnt just
shock her son with a stun gun or
shoot him in the leg.
He needed someone who was
going to calm him down and then
take care of the situation, she said,
her voice thick with emotion and
dark glasses covering her eyes. Not
to come and just finish his life.
Olangos sister had called police

three times Tuesday to report that he
was sick, not acting like himself,
and was walking in traffic. It took
officers more than an hour to
respond. Once they arrived, the
shooting took place within about a
minute.
Police released a still frame from a
bystanders video that showed the
38-year-old Olango with his hands
together at chest level and pointed at
an officer directly in front of him.
Police Chief Jeff Davis said Olango
refused to obey orders to remove a
hand from his pants pocket and was
shot after he swiftly drew an object
from his front pocket and pointed at
the officer in a shooting stance.
Report: Obama administration failed to follow health law

WASHINGTON The Obama administration failed to follow the presidents

health care law in a $5 billion dispute
over compensating insurers for high
costs from seriously ill patients,
Congress investigative arm said
Thursday.
The opinion from the Government
Accountability Office is a setback for

the White House and bolsters
Republican complaints that administration officials bent the law as problems
arose carrying out its complex provisions. The finding may complicate
efforts to stabilize premiums in the
laws insurance marketplaces, where
about 11 million people get coverage.
At issue is how the administration
has handled a little-known, but important program called transitional reinsurance. Working in the background of
the laws coverage expansion, the
three-year program collects fees from
employer and other private health
insurance plans and channels the
money to health plans that face large
claims for treating patients with catastrophic medical problems.
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown waded further into the

national debate over transgender rights Thursday as he
signed a bill requiring that all single-stall
toilets in California be designated as gender neutral.
The measure requires that businesses
and governments post non-gender-specific signs on single-occupant restrooms by
March
1,
2017.
Democratic
Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco
said his legislation would establish the
Jerry Brown nations most inclusive restroom-access
law and chart a new course of equality for
the nation.
This simple concept is oddly cutting-edge when compared
with the discrimination being enacted in other states, Ting
said earlier, while urging the Democratic governor to sign
the bill.
Lawmakers sent the legislation to Brown in August, a day
after a federal judge temporarily blocked an order by
President Barack Obama requiring that public schools let
students use bathrooms that correlate with their gender identity.
California students can already do so under a law Brown
signed in 2013. He also approved adding gender identity to
the states antidiscrimination laws in 2011.
Brown OKs plan for earthquake early warnings

RANCHO CORDOVA Californians will begin getting
warnings of impending earthquakes through their cellphones, radios and other devices within the next year or two
as the state ramps up a lifesaving early warning system,
emergency management officials said Thursday.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation to develop the
statewide warning system Thursday. Combined with $10 million from the state budget Brown approved earlier this year,
California has the pieces in place to begin rolling out the
warning system called ShakeAlert, said Mark Ghilarducci,
head of the Governors Office of Emergency Services.
Seismic early warning systems are designed to detect the
first shock waves from a large jolt, calculate the strength and
alert people before the slower but damaging waves spread.
Mexico, China and Japan are among the countries already
using them.
In the United States, California is farthest along in developing early warnings that federal officials hope to expand to
Oregon and Washington.
Governor approves move to California vote centers

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown is taking action on
several voting-related bills, including legislation that lays
the groundwork for more California counties to conduct elections entirely through mail-in ballots.

Donors add nearly

$390 million into
state propositions
By Alison Noon
SACRAMENTO Supporters and opponents of

Californias 17 November ballot measures have raised
nearly $390 million six weeks before the election, putting
the state about $85 million shy of record initiative
fundraising with some of the heaviest spending yet to
come.
Reports filed by political donors with the secretary of
states office before a Thursday campaign reporting deadline showed a whopping $389 million in contributions on
hot-button issues including prescription drug pricing and
hospital fees.
If the fundraising records havent been broken yet,
theyre about to be, said Dan Schnur, a University of
Southern California professor and former chairman of the
state agency that regulates campaign finance.
He noted that the pace of fundraising and spending accelerates as Election Day nears.
The National Institute on Money in State Politics data
shows California propositions amassed more than $471.5
million in 2008, a state record, when Californians considered 21 measures in three separate elections, including
questions on gay marriage and increasing the required size
of chicken cages. The next highest spending for statewide
ballot measures was $455 million in 2012.
Four initiatives on this years ballot regarding taxes,
prescription prices and hospital fees account for $300 million of the total so far. That includes more than $100 million into Proposition 61, placed on the ballot by the AIDS
Healthcare Foundation to limit what the state pays for prescription drugs for people insured on government-subsidized health programs to the same rated paid by the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs.
More than 30 companies that belong to the industry
association Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of
America have contributed most of the $86 million against
the initiative.

Trump goes after Bill Clinton in rancorous race

By Josh Lederman
and Cathereine Lucey
BEDFORD, N.H. Donald Trump abruptly

resurrected Bill Clintons impeachment on
Thursday, adding the former presidents infidelities to the already-rancorous 2016 campaign. Trump warned voters in battleground
New Hampshire that a Hillary Clinton victory would bring her husbands sex scandal
back to the White House.
It was Trumps latest effort to bounce back
from Monday nights debate performance,
which has been widely panned as lackluster.
In contrast, Clinton has delivered a mostly
positive message in the days since her
debate performance re-energized her candidacy.
Clinton is stressing that her plans will
solve the kind of kitchen-sink problems facing American families the high cost of
childcare, mounting student debt burdens and
unpaid family leave. Trump, though promising lower taxes and jobs, jobs, jobs for
American workers, has intensified the dire
warnings and personal attacks that have
defined his outsider presidential bid.
He took it a step further on Thursday.

Donald Trump holds a rally with supporters in Bedford, N.H.

The American people have had it with
years and decades of Clinton corruption and
scandal. Corruption and scandal, Trump
charged. An impeachment for lying. An
impeachment for lying. Remember that?
Impeach.
That was a reference to Bill Clinton. After

an investigation by an independent counsel,
the House approved formal impeachment
charges in late 1998 in connection with
President Clintons testimony about his
affair with a White House intern, Monica
Lewinsky, and other matters. He was acquitted

of the impeachment charges by the Senate.
Trumps team said he had been prepared to
bring up the Lewinsky scandal during
Monday nights debate but decided otherwise
because the Clintons daughter, Chelsea, was
in the room. Trump did not bring up
Lewinsky by name on Thursday.
Shortly before Trumps remarks, Clinton
offered a more optimistic message to supporters in Iowas capital city.
I want this election to be about something, not just against somebody, she said
in Des Moines.
Asked Thursday about the possibility that
Trump would raise her husbands infidelities,
Clinton said, He can run his campaign however he chooses. Thats up to him. Im going
to keep talking about the stakes in this election.
Her aides argue that a summer barrage of
attack ads against Trump, along with the candidates own controversial statements, have
driven his negative ratings to historic levels,
leaving them little ability to do more. That
leaves her the choice of trying to win over
undecided voters and Republicans concerned
about Trump by emphasizing a positive
vision for America.
Brain freeze? Gary Johnson cant name favorite world leader

Johnson hung his head slightly Im

to his rescue, offering the names of three

former Mexican presidents. Johnson settled

Scientists say world likely wont

avoid dangerous warming mark
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON A team of top scientists

is telling world leaders to stop congratulating themselves on the Paris agreement to
fight climate change because if more isnt
done, global temperatures will likely hit
dangerous warming levels in about 35
years.
Six scientists who were leaders in past
international climate conferences joined
with the Universal Ecological Fund in
Argentina to release a brief report Thursday,
saying that if even more cuts in heat-trapping gases arent agreed upon soon, the
world will warm by another 1.8 degrees
Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) by around
2050.
That 1.8 degree mark is key because in
2009 world leaders agreed that they wanted
to avoid warming of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6
degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial
levels. Temperatures have already risen
about 1 degree Celsius (1. 8 degrees

Fahrenheit), so that 2 degree goal is really
about preventing a rise of another degree
going forward.
Examining the carbon pollution cuts and
curbs promised by 190 nations in an agreement made in Paris last December, the scientists said its simply not enough.
The pledges are not going to get even

Yes on Measure K
hen San Mateo County voters

passed Measure A in 2012, it
was sold as a way to help bridge
a funding gap and to ensure that county
services such as health care, human services, parks, public safety and other initiatives would not be cut. It was to also provide money to make sure that Seton
Medical Center would stay aoat by allocating seismic upgrade money since it provides essential health care services to
North County residents.
It was originally estimated to raise about
$60 million a year through an increase of
the local sales tax of half of 1 percent,
though it now generates about $80 million
a year. We opposed the measure at the time
because it was too soon after the Great
Recession and many San Mateo County
residents were still feeling the economic
effects. This was the same year that saw the
state pass Proposition 30, a quarter-cent
sales tax increase to raise $6 billion a year
for schools. There were many needs across
the state and its citizens were still getting
their economic bearings while the local
measure had a number of loosely dened
beneciaries.
So now four years later, county voters are
being asked to extend what was to be a
temporary tax set to expire in 2023 for
another 20 years. One might think that our
reaction would be more along the lines of
what we said four years ago. Many of the
same issues still hold true. Yet there are
very important differences with this proposal, now known as Measure K. The county has had four years to prove it could
spend Measure A money wisely. That
money has gone to a host of worthwhile
programs such as the Big Lift, which provides resources for early education, and
also homeless and drug rehabilitation programs along with other basic necessities in
the county. And while the economy has definitely turned around, it has left many
struggling. The booming nature of this
recent cycle has meant there is an exponentially growing need for housing assistance
programs.
This county has a long history of planning for affordable housing developments
Editorial
but the recent need has outgrown the effort
considerably. And that is where Measure K
comes in. The 20-year extension assists
the county in its borrowing capability of
up to about $200 million to be used for a
number of affordable housing developments. That money could be combined with
other money from cities, the Housing
Endowment and Regional Trust and nonprots to provide new opportunities for
housing at levels that can be afforded by
average San Mateo County residents. The
money can also be used to expand code
enforcement efforts to ensure aging buildings wont need all tenants evicted for massive upgrades and even assistance for property owners looking to make upgrades
without needing to vacate much-needed
units and disrupting communities. Older
buildings could also be purchased through
additional partnerships as a way to keep
tenants in place rather than being sold to
those looking to rehabilitate and ip
swaths of units. The county is also considering an ordinance Oct. 4 that would create
a relocation assistance program for tenants
evicted from illegal or substandard units.
There is much promise in these proposals
and it has taken an acute crisis to put nearly every elected ofcial in this county on
point when it comes to nding palatable
solutions. Even if rents stabilize or go
down, the expense of housing will still be
high in this area and will likely grow in
the future as it has in the recent past.
This crisis is not just born of new jobs.
It also comes at the edge of the dissolution
of redevelopment agencies which had
allowed for partnerships to create affordable housing developments sprinkled
throughout the Peninsula. Federal funding
that had often allowed city governments to
create programs for people to buy homes
and stay in them has all but dried up. Low
interest rates means new ofces and highrent housing pencil out but developments
with an affordable component dont as easily. And legal questions about inclusionary
zoning, which set aside a percentage of

It is a perfect storm, and out of it comes
ideas that can be part of a solution.
Latching affordable housing onto an
existing sales tax and providing an extension is not a perfect vehicle, as opponents
to this measure rightly point out. County
ofcials had entertained the idea of oating
a bond to voters but there wasnt enough
time for polling and outreach, and this situation needs attention sooner rather than
later.
Measure K provides an opportunity for
county residents to redirect county revenue
into affordable housing while allowing
county ofcials more exibility in nancing needed projects sooner rather than
later. It is unfortunate we are in this situation in which government money our
money is needed to ensure our county
stays economically diverse and livable.
But we are. Measure K will help provide
housing to those who need it. It will help
alleviate trafc because workers can remain
here rather than commuting. But most
importantly, it provides hope for many
who are being priced out of this area and
will help retain our community as it is
with room for all income levels.
Letters to the editor

Gateway at Millbrae Station
Editor,
Millbrae needs to do something for our
veterans of military service, rather than
study the issue to death. For the last three
years, the city of Millbrae has studied and
delayed creating housing at Millbrae BART
Station, including housing for veterans.
But nothing ever happens.
As a Millbrae resident, I support the proposal for Gateway at Millbrae Station to
create critically-needed homes for our
workforce, including 55 affordable preferred rentals, plus retail and commercial
jobs. Altogether, the proposal adds more
than $400 million to Millbrae tax rolls,
along with $1 million in local school fees

and millions more worth of transportation

and pedestrian improvements.
While many veterans grew up here on the
Peninsula, they are being forced out by the
rising cost of housing. We now have a
chance to show we care by supporting this
proposal. I urge the Daily Journal to investigate why Millbrae keeps stalling by
playing politics.

Thoughts from first

presidential debate
The Wall Street Journal
he two most unpopular presidential

candidates in modern history had
their rst debate Monday, and the
best we can say is that they lived up to
those expectations. Hillary Clinton
offered a relentless assault on Donald
Trumps business record and qualications
to be president, but she offered little reason to believe she would lift the country
out of its economic and psychological
funk. Mr. Trump made the case for change,
but in a blunderbuss fashion that will have
voters wondering if he knows enough for
the job.
Theres little doubt that Mrs. Clinton
won on debating points. She can master a
brieng book, and from the rst answer
she dumped most of it on Mr. Trump. The
central argument of her campaign is to
elect her because the New Yorker is unt
to be president, and her strategy was to
taunt him with attacks on his business
record that always seem to drive him to
distraction.
And sure enough, Mr. Trump often took
the bait, wasting time on details about his
companys history while barely going on
offense against the Clinton Foundation.
He also couldnt resist a long, defensive
explanation of his opposition to the Iraq
war and why he hasnt released his tax
returns.
These columns warned Mr. Trump and
GOP voters during the primaries that by
not releasing his returns he was giving
Democrats an opening to assert what he
might be hiding. Mrs. Clinton took full
advantage, offering a list of imagined horribles and even suggesting he might have
paid zero taxes.
On policy Mrs. Clinton rolled out her
list of seemingly endless programs that
amount to the agenda of the last eight
years, only more so. She has a government solution to every social and economic anxiety, and if you like the current economy she is your candidate.
That unhappy status quo remains Mr.
Trumps opening, yet he missed more
chances than he hit. Offered a lay-up
opportunity at the start on the economy,
he sounded a Donny-one-note on trade
as if cutting imports is the magic cure for
1 percent growth. He eventually got
around to touting his tax cut, albeit with
few specics, but he barely mentioned the
burden of regulation.
The Republican did better on race and
crime, showing a sympathy on the question while calling for law and order. He
also had a better grasp of the legal history
of New Yorks stop and frisk policing
than moderator Lester Holt, who took the
liberal line that it was declared unconstitutional. That ruling was by a lower court
judge whose bias was rebuked by an appellate court, and then New Yorks new mayor
dropped the citys appeal.
Speaking of Mr. Holt, he clearly took to
heart the liberal media assault on his colleague Matt Lauer three weeks ago, as his
questions and fact-checking tilted in Mrs.
Clintons direction. Mr. Holt challenged
Mr. Trump on his dubious claim that he
opposed the Iraq war before the invasion,
but he didnt challenge Mrs. Clinton on
her false claim that George W. Bush decided the U.S. should pull out of Iraq in 2011.
If you think were wrong, watch who praises Mr. Holt this week.
For all of Mr. Trumps substantive weaknesses, the challenger did score points by
portraying Mrs. Clinton as an architect of
Americas current malaise. His taunt that
she has been around for 30 years strikes
home. The central question in the election
is coming down to whether an American
majority that wants a change in direction
is willing to take the risk on Mr. Trump to
deliver it. Its still a question after Monday
night.

Stocks skid as drugmakers fall

House lawmakers heap blistering criticism on Wells Fargo CEO

CEO: Nearly 150,000 Wells Fargo
accounts in Texas possibly affected
WASHINGTON The CEO of Wells

Fargo says nearly 150,000 Texas accounts
possibly were affected in the banking
scandal thats drawn the attention of
Congress.
Chief Executive John Stumpf testified
Thursday before the House Financial
Services Committee that the bank is
expanding its review of accounts and

newly stripped of tens of millions in
compensation, provided the Texas fig-
ure during the hearing.

U. S. and California regulators have
fined San Francisco-based Wells Fargo
$185 million, saying bank employees
trying to meet sales targets opened up to 2
million fake deposit and credit card
accounts without the knowledge of customers.
Several lawmakers alleged that Wells
Fargos sales practices may have violated
federal racketeering laws.

WASHINGTON Angry lawmakers heaped

another round of blistering criticism on Wells
Fargos CEO, pressing Thursday for details
about what senior managers knew about
allegedly illegal sales practices and when any
concerns were disclosed.
Chief Executive John Stumpf, newly
stripped of tens of millions in compensation,
told the House Financial Services Committee
that the bank is expanding its review of
accounts and will evaluate executives roles.
But as during the grilling he received last
week from a Senate panel, Stumpf remained
on the defensive.
Several lawmakers, both Republican and
Democrat, alleged that Wells Fargos sales
practices may have violated federal laws,
including the federal racketeering laws, which
would constitute a criminal offense. Federal
regulators have not said if they have referred
the Wells Fargo case to the Department of
Justice.
Fraud is fraud. Theft is theft, committee
head Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, told
Stumpf.
The panels senior Democrat, Rep. Maxine
Waters of California, was adamant that the
alleged abuses show that the second-largest
U.S. bank is too big for senior executives to
keep track of whats going on. I have come
to the conclusion that

Wells Fargo should be
broken up, she said.
Stumpf reiterated his
previous words, that he
was deeply sorry. He
said the bank was looking
at accounts further back,
to 2009, and that an
John Stumpf inquiry by Wells Fargos
outside directors will
review executives roles across the board.
U.S. and California regulators have fined
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo $185 million, saying bank employees trying to meet
sales targets opened up to 2 million fake
deposit and credit card accounts without customers knowledge. Regulators said they
issued and activated debit cards, and signed
people up for online banking without permission. The abuses are said to have gone on for
years, unchecked by senior management.
Stumpf finally shared some basic information about the potential victims, saying
those affected skewed to younger Wells customers. When questioned by lawmakers,
Stumpf also gave some state-by-state breakdowns, including for Georgia, Delaware,
Texas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
When asked by the Associated Press for a
complete state-by-state count, a Wells
spokeswoman declined to share that information.
Tesla rear-ends bus in Germany,

driver blames the cars Autopilot
BERLIN Police in northern Germany

say that a Tesla driver is blaming the cars
Autopilot after crashing into the rear of a
bus on a highway.
But Tesla says the Autopilot was not at
fault.
Ratzeburg police say that the crash happened Wednesday afternoon on a stretch of
autobahn about 50 kilometers (30 miles)
east of Hamburg. The Tesla driver was
slightly injured.
Police said in a statement Thursday that
the 50-year-old Tesla driver told ofcers he
had used the Autopilot. It wasnt immediately clear whether police had themselves con-
rmed the Autopilots use, and calls to the

Ratzeburg police precinct werent answered
late Thursday.
A Tesla spokeswoman in Palo Alto,
California, said Thursday the Autopilot system was on and functioned properly in the
incident, based on conversations the company had with the driver and authorities. The
system could not have prevented the crash
because the bus swerved into the Tesla drivers lane while the Tesla was next to the
bus, the company said.
Tesla updated the Autopilot software this
month following a deadly crash in May. In
that crash, a driver using the system was
killed when his Model S sedan struck a tractor-trailer in Florida.

Division play is set to open with a
bang Friday afternoon when two of
the leagues projected frontrunners
Half Moon Bay and Menlo
School square off in Atherton at
Cartan Field at 3:15 p.m.
Not only do the Cougars and the
Knights boast undefeated 4-0
records through non-league play.
The matchup features one of the
best head-to-head clashes of running backs the Peninsula has to
offer with the Central Coast
Sections No. 2 and 3 leading rushers, Menlo senior Charlie Ferguson
and HMB junior Chase Hofmann.
Ferguson ranks second in the
CCS with 730 rushing yards,
according to MaxPreps.com. The
senior trails Cupertino junior Alex
Bruckhaus No. 1 standing by nine
yards. Hofmann, meanwhile, is not
listed on MaxPreps leaderboard
due to Half Moon Bay not submitting online stats. The juniors 716
rushing yards, however, factor in
to rank No. 3 in the section.
Hofmann has been the saving
grace for the Cougars, who graduated the teams leading rusher last
season, two-way standout Matt
Spigelman. Hofmann has assumed
the same role, taking over as the
No. 1 running back and anchoring
the secondary at safety.

It was Rivalry Day on the Peninsula Athletic

The Bearcats have proven through the first round
of Bay Division play that they are not a fluke and are
the second-best team in the division as they blasted
the Panthers, 7-0.
There wasnt a whole lot of excitement as San

Spotlight on Seattle as Huskies take on Stanford

By Tim Booth
SEATTLE Chris Petersen would like this

to be all about what David Shaw has done in
building Stanford into the class of the Pac-12
Conference.
Stanfords an awesome program. Ill start
with that program, Washingtons coach
said this week. This isnt just an awesome
team. Theyve had an awesome program for a
while now. They know how to do it.
In reality, this is all about No. 10
Washington when the Huskies (4-0, 1-0 Pac12) face No. 7 Stanford on Friday night. Now
in his third season in charge at Washington, is
Petersen ready to have the Huskies enter the
national conversation the same way his Boise
State teams did when they were at their peak?
Because if the Huskies knock off Stanford
(3-0, 2-0) and take command of the Pac-12
North race, they wont just be in contention
for a conference crown. Washington would
immediately join a loftier conversation.
This is a rare opportunity for Washington.
Its just the fourth matchup of AP Top 10 teams
Obviously, it would be kind of ignorant to say theyre not

the team to beat a little bit right now in the Pac-12.
Jake Browning, former Folsom High and current Washington starter
ever at Husky Stadium and the first since the

second-ranked Huskies were taken down by
No. 7 Nebraska 19 years ago.
It comes with all the trappings of a big
game that have become standard for Stanford:
prime-time national television audience; sellout crowd; star players all over the field.
Obviously, it would be kind of ignorant to
say theyre not the team to beat a little bit
right now in the Pac-12, Washington quarterback Jake Browning said.
No player is likely to shine brighter than
Stanfords Christian McCaffrey, who was
held to only 109 yards rushing by
Washington last year, but made up for the lack
of running production by catching five passes
for 112 yards and a touchdown, and having 79
yards in kick returns to finish with exactly
300 all-purpose yards in the 31-14 win.
McCaffrey is coming off a relatively quiet
performance in last weeks comeback win

over UCLA, rushing for 138 yards but only
catching two passes for 13 yards.
We are unbelievably spoiled that when this
kid doesnt get 300 yards of total offense we
say he got bottled up, Shaw said. He was
phenomenal. He was phenomenal. Those 2yard runs became 7-yard runs. Those 8-yard
runs became 12-yard runs.
The bigger concern for Stanford is who will
be missing. The Cardinal will be without starting cornerbacks Quenton Meeks and Alijah
Holder, starting wide receiver Francis Owusu
and starting fullback Daniel Marx.
Here are other things to watch as the
Huskies and Cardinal meet for the 87th time
with the series tied 41-41-4:

C o n o r
Johnny Cueto
Gi l l as p i e,
Angel Pagan and Brandon
Crawford had two hits apiece to
help the Giants bounce back after
getting shut out a night earlier.
Nolan Arenado had two hits and
an RBI for Colorado, which was
eliminated from playoff contention over the weekend and has
dropped eight of 10.
On a night when St. Louis rallied to win on a walkoff hit in the
ninth, San Francisco staged its
own comeback.
Arenado hit an RBI double in the

first and scored on David Dahls
triple to put the Rockies up 2-0.
The Giants tied it with two runs
in the fourth then went ahead in
the sixth with help from
Colorados defense. The Rockies
committed two errors, including a
wild throw by third baseman
Arenado on Cuetos one-out bunt
single that allowed two runs to
score.
Colorado starter Jon Gray (1010) allowed five runs over 5 1-3
innings and left shortly after he
appeared to get hit in the right
ankle by Crawfords line drive in
the sixth.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy
used four relievers to record the
final six outs. One-time closer
Santiago Casilla was not among
them. Instead, Sergio Romo
pitched the ninth and retired
Charles Blackmon on a fly ball to
end it.
Stanford? The quarterback who was 5 of 8 for

66 yards passing on Stanfords final offensive
drive as the Cardinal took the lead over UCLA,
or the one who was 8 of 17 for 71 yards and an
interception for the first 3 1/2 quarters?
Washingtons secondary is among the best in
the country, led by safety Budda Baker, and
will likely challenge Burns to beat them
through the air with all the attention
McCaffrey will receive.
Montlake Jake
Browning can write his own little piece of
history with a win over the Cardinal. In the
past 20 seasons, Washington is 8-28 when
facing Top 10 opponents. The Huskies last
win over a Top 10 team came in a 2012 upset
of then-No. 7 Oregon State.
Browning leads the Pac-12 and is third-best
in the country in pass efficiency. Hes thrown
14 touchdowns after throwing 16 all of last
season and is completing nearly 71 percent
of his passes. And now Browning gets to face
a depleted Stanford secondary with Alameen
Murphy and Terrence Alexander the likely
starters in place of Meeks and Holder.

Osemele a Raider, but hasnt forgotten Ravens split

to kind of find out thats probably not where
youre going to end up can be a little emotional.
Osemele has resisted the urge to reach out
to his friends on the Ravens roster this
week as he tries to keep his feelings in
check.
I havent really talked individually with
those guys about what theyre doing differently, not that they would tell me, but they
definitely look like their old selves,
Osemele said. Theyre a physical team.
Thats a lot of where my playing demeanor
came from, that build-a-bully mentality . so
thats what were going to get.
Oaklands offensive line has had a definite impact on the teams early success.
Quarterback Derek Carr has barely been
touched so far while directing the NFLs second-ranked offense. In three games, Carr
has been sacked just twice, and one of them
came on a scramble out of bounds. The two
sacks allowed by Oaklands offensive line
are tied for the fewest in the NFL with San
Francisco and the New York Jets.
The Raiders are also moving the ball on
the ground effectively with the leagues No.
2 rushing attack while averaging 148.3
yards a game.
Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said

Osemele is a reflection of Oaklands offense
line as a whole.
I dont think any of our guys are nice,
Musgrave said Thursday. They may be
polite and theyre professional but across
the board our guys are physical. Theyre
like Kelechi. Kelechi fits right in with
those guys, nasty.
Thats something Osemeles former teammates in Baltimore remember well.
Hes just one of those nasty offensive
linemen, Ravens running back Justin
Forsett said. He tries to dominate every
play. Youre going to see guys getting pancaked and hes standing over them. Hes
kind of that mouthpiece out there, that headhunter that you want on the offensive line.

ALAMEDA Raiders left guard Kelechi

Osemele has a few physical reminders of his
time in Baltimore, most notably the Super
Bowl ring he won as a rookie in 2012 that
sits in a safe that his mother watches over.
Mentally, the veteran offensive lineman
cant shake the memories of a bitter offseason split after four highly productive years
with the Ravens that ultimately led to his
arrival in Oakland, where hes become the
anchor of one of the top lines in the NFL.
Heading back to M&T Stadium for the
first time since then in a critical game for
both teams, Osemele admits it will be an
unusual experience.
Its definitely going to be an emotional
day, Osemele said. Guys that were your
teammate, youre going to be competing
against for the first time ever. Thats going
to be a different twist. Its definitely going
to be a passionate day for me . a lot of mixed
feelings going on at that time in that stadium.
The 60th overall pick in 2012, Osemele
started 51 games at three different positions
during his four years with the Ravens while
SANTA CLARA Even as a senior, Ohio

State running back Carlos Hyde learned a
few things from talented freshman Ezekiel
Elliott before entering the 2014 draft.
Elliott taught Hyde the value of being an
asset without the ball in his hands.
Running backs as talented as Hyde, who
ran for 3,198 yards in college, get notoriety
for making tacklers miss. Hyde appreciates
Elliott for showing him how to make
defenders miss his teammates by throwing
blocks downfield.
He came in and set the tone with that,
said Hyde, without the ball, running down
the field, throwing a cut block. ... He
changed our (running backs) room at Ohio
State with that.
Elliott went on to get drafted fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys last spring, in
part because of his complete skill set. Not
only did he eclipse Hydes Ohio State rushing total by 763 yards in three seasons
(Hyde played four), Elliott was widely considered the best blocking back in the 2016
draft.
Hes not a guy that you have to take off
earning a well-deserved
reputation for being one
of the most menacing
and tenacious blockers in
the league.
Because of his resume
and age, Osemele expected to stay a long time in
Baltimore before negotiations on a contract
Kelechi
extension broke down.
Osemele
The Ravens reportedly
offered Osemele a deal that would have made
him the second-highest paid player on the
team. According to Osemele, however, the
offer wasnt even close to what the market
was for a player of his caliber.
Osemele quickly got over it after signing
a five-year, $58.5 million contract with the
Raiders. Yet the memory of leaving the only
NFL team he had played with still resonates,
much like the devastating blocks delivered
on opposing linebackers by the 6-foot-5inch, 330-pound Osemele.
The numbers just didnt come anywhere
close, Osemele said. It hurts your feelings
a little bit because you spent the last four
years there. There have been a lot of ups and
downs, winning the Super Bowl there, and
the field, 49ers coach

Chip Kelly said of
Elliott. Hes got speed.
Hes got power. You
know, hes kind of the
best combination. . . .
and I think everybody
agreed, that he was the
top back in the draft last
Carlos Hyde year.
Elliott entered the NFL
two years after Hyde was
taken in the second round
by the 49ers. They square
off Sunday at Levis
Stadium when Dallas (21) visits San Francisco
(1-2).
For the season, Elliott
has 274 yards rushing on
Ezekiel Elliott 71 carries with one
touchdown. His former
teammate has four touchdowns with 225
yards on 58 carries for San Francisco.
Hyde said he hasnt paid attention to the
fact hes playing against his college pupil.

But Hydes All-Pro teammate NaVorro

said. So he cant let the young guy get the
best of the game. I think Carlos will be

during Hydes rookie season with San

The Buckeyes rolled 42-20, with Elliott
setting a season high with 246 yards rushing and four touchdowns. It was the third
straight game Elliott had at least 200 yards.

CINCINNATI Bengals receiver A.J.
Green followed his disappointing game with a
dominating one 173 yards and a touchdown and the Cincinnati defense that was
inspired by Vontaze Burficts return clamped
down on the Miami Dolphins for a 22-7 victory Thursday night.
The Bengals (2-2) rebounded from a 29-17
home loss to Denver on Sunday with a solid
all-around game against a depleted team.
Green led the way, beating the Dolphins (13) on every type of route. He was upset with
himself after he dropped a pivotal third-down
pass and failed to make an impact against the
Broncos.
During the first three quarters, Green had
166 yards on catches while Miami had 152
total yards. The Bengals season-long problem of stalling out near the goal line forced
them to settle for Mike Nugents season-high
five field goals.
The Dolphins were missing four starting
offensive linemen, two linebackers, running
back Arian Foster and tight end Jordan
Cameron. They had one big play Ryan

M-A beat Terra Nova 49-28 last season.
Terra Novas numbers suggest the Tigers

really good offensive player, but hes also good on

defense. Hes one of the best Ive ever had offensively,
defensively, the whole package.
Ferguson, meanwhile, is utilized a little differently as a
two-way threat. The senior has proven an exceptional linebacker throughout his varsity career, but he is seeing fewer
defensive reps this year to save his legs for the downhill running attack of the Menlo offense.
As a junior last year, Ferguson eclipsed the 1,000-yard
rushing mark in the Knights final game of the year, that
being Week 11 in a loss in its CCS playoff opener to Scotts
Valley. Last years Knights had a more pass-oriented
approach though. This year, the offense is built around the
ground game and Fergusons fearless rushing style.
We definitely wanted to emphasize the downhill run
game, Menlo head coach Mark Newton said. And we knew
Charlie Ferguson could be one of the best players anywhere.
Fergusons ability to take over a game was evident in Week
1 when he ran for 216 yards against Lincoln-SF. The following week against Mission-SF, he bettered that total with 250
rushing yards. And he made an impression on Mission cohead coach Lamar Williams in the process.
The Bearcats got a career high four goals

from Sterling Finn to swim past the Knights.
While Finn may have set a personal best,
the leader as he has been all season was
Nick Peeters, who destroyed Kings Academy
by scoring 10 goals. Jacob Wetherbee
chipped with two goals in the victory.
San Mateo actually trailed 3-2 after the first
period, but unleashed a barrage of goals in the
second quarter. The Bearcats outscored the
Knights 11-0 in the period to hold a commanding 13-3 lead at halftime.
year with wins over Saratoga and Burlingame. The openingweek win over Saratoga was a momentous one, as the
Cougars trailed 20-6 at halftime.
We needed to stop the big play and we needed to stop the
big play on offense, Holden said. And thats what we did.
HMBs strength of schedule has helped get not only the
Cougars, but the PAL Ocean Division recognition. In this
weeks top-25 poll by the San Francisco Chronicles, HMB
ranked No. 22, an all-time program best. Perhaps just as important, HMB is the lone PAL team to make the cut; no teams from
the A-league PAL Bay Division were ranked this week.
All the coaches in the PAL are proud of our league,
Newton said. The Lake has improved and the Ocean and the
Bay have both gotten really, really good.
Holden, however, was keen to point out it isnt where you
start, but where you finish.
Its nice for us whenever that happens, which isnt very
often, Holden said. A lot of people outside our football
team get really excited. Those people are all reaching out and
thats great. But I look at it, its where you finish. Its only

Half Moon Bay got its win from Aneesha

Charlie Ferguson I love that kid, Williams said. Hes

the truth.
One of the secrets to Fergusons success has been another
two-way standout, lineman JH Tevis. While the junior has
made his bones alternating between defensive tackle and
defensive end he is tied for second in the CCS with eight
sacks his presence at offensive guard has paved the way for
Ferguson through non-league play.
Menlos middle linebacker corps, anchored by junior Ty
Corley, has also been key in spelling Ferguson on defense.
We have younger players that have really stepped up,
Newton said. It frees up [Ferguson] to not have to take too
many hits at linebacker. We focus on him getting the
lions share of the running.
Meanwhile, HMB middle linebacker Sean Baird has been
living and breathing Ferguson and the Menlo rushing attack
all week in practice.
He definitely knows who he is, Holden said. We watch
film and Ferguson stands out for sure.
Comparing non-league schedules, HMB has the edge, having defeated consecutive A-league opponents to start the

munity college powerhouse. This seasons
Spotlight Night is the second such event at
Caada over the last three years. In 2014-15,
it was dubbed Midnight Madness to liken it to
such exhibition events at the Division I level.
The Colts held up their end of the bargain
with their ambitious beginnings that season,
advancing to the state final four. This year,
Caada is hoping to rekindle that magic after
a down year last season finishing in sixth
place in the Coast Conference North with a 39 league record, closing the year on a fivegame losing streak.
With an entirely new roster this year,
Reynoso is hoping to change all that.

ed. Its the kind of season, when we get it all

together, were going to be really dangerous.
Navarrete and Kimble are two of the highlight players Reynoso is hoping to ride back
to the promised land.
While the duos slam-dunk skills are slated
to headline Spotlight Night the event features a dunk contest, a 3-point contest and a
20-minute inter-squad scrimmage Navarrete
and Kimble are being relied upon for experience on the court despite each being new to
the program.
Navarrete is a 25-year-old freshman forward
out of San Leandro, who Reynoso likens to
Caadas 2014-15 Northern California State
Player of the Year Rhondell Goodwin. The
similarities go deeper than both being 6-5
forwards. Like Goodwin, Navarrete never
played high school basketball.
He didnt play high school ball but hes
really good, Reynoso said.
Thats what our program is about. We take
guys other guys dont want. Its not in a nega-
tive way but other schools dont want to

take a chance on a 25-year-old.
Kimble is the only sophomore on the roster. A 6-foot guard, he is a transfer from Las
Positas College. As a freshman in 2013-14,
Kimble was the Hawks leading scorer, averaging 13.3 points per game. He also led the team
with 4.3 assists per game.
Other freshmen who look to round out
Caadas starting five this season are Keith
Dickerson, a 6-3, 23-year-old out of San
Francisco, and Lovevele Shakleford, a 6-2
guard out of Newark Memorial.
An interesting phenomenon about this
years active roster is it contains no players
from San Mateo County. This also is similar
to the 2013-14 team, that had just one local
player on roster in Burlingame graduate
Rodrigo Puliceno.
The final four team, we didnt have hardly
anybody from our area except for Rodrigo,
Reynoso said. But for me its a success
story.
Reynoso said he did try to recruit Half Moon

Bay graduate Tommy Nuno. The Colts also
have a pair of county players taking a
grayshirt this season in 2015 Serra graduate
Paul Smoot and 2016 Aragon graduate Alex
Manu, but the active roster features a majority
of players from the East Bay, with no returners
in the mix.
I think we might have had one or two
returners if we had the season we should have
had, Reynoso said. But we only had four or
five freshmen (to begin with).
Spotlight Night tips off Saturday in the
Caada gymnasium at 7 p.m., hence the reason Reynoso changed the name from
Midnight Madness. Reynoso said he hopes to
build on the basketball culture at Caada this
season.
Were closer to the Division I level than we
are the high school level, Reynoso said. So
at the end of the day we can really do something. If the community gets behind anything, its winning.
back to tie the set at 4 and get back on serve.

Vasilyev then held serve for a 5-4 lead and
broke Martinucci again to claim the first set,
6-4.
Vasilyev was on a roll at this point. After
winning the final three games of the first set,
she roared out to four straight wins to start the
second and what was billed as a showdown was
quickly turning into a rout.
But then Martinucci started to crawl back
into the set and Vasilyev fell apart. Double
faults, return shot sprayed wide, Vasilyev hardly looked like one of the top five players in the
PAL.
I was up 4-0 and I completely relaxed,
Vasilyev said. Once it started, it was a snowball.
It was Vasilyevs struggles of which
Martinucci took advantage. Vasilyev was serving to go up 5-0 before Martinucci broke her
and then held her own serve to close to 4-2.

Another break and another hold and suddenly
Martinucci tied the set at 4. Vasilyev finally
held for a 5-4 advantage, but Martinucci held
her own serve and then broke Vasilyev in the
12th game to earn the second-set win.
After a break before playing the third set, it
was determined the match would be decided in a
first-to-10 super tiebreaker.
And just as quickly as things fell apart for
Vasilyev, her game snapped back around as she
dominated the tiebreaker, surrendering just one
point.
For me, its more of a switch (that flips),
Vasilyev said regarding her mental strength. I
lose my focus gradually, but I switch it back
quickly.
Martinucci stormed off the court following
the final point, and after a few minutes of cooling off, came to the conclusion that nothing
was really settled between her and Vasilyev.

A tiebreaker means nothing. Its a coin
flip, Martinucci said. Anything can happen
(in a tiebreaker).
The No. 1 singles match was last match still
on the court when it finally ended. Thats
because the rest of the San Mateo squad dominated their opponents. Tessa Chou, the
Bearcats No. 3 singles player, got on and off
quickly, losing just one game. Grace Wang, a
freshman playing at No. 4 singles for San
Mateo, posted a 6-1, 6-1, while Aida Lowe won
her No. 2 singles match, 6-0, 6-2.
In doubles action, the No. 1 team of Lauren
Young and Emily Chan won 6-0, 6-2, the No.
2 tandem of Maggie Dong and Ilana Basman
won 7-5, 6-2, while Lian Ting and Ellen Zhu,
at No. 3 doubles, won a first-set tiebreaker 7-4,
before wrapping up the win with a 6-3 victory
in the second set.

totaling five kills and two blocks in the set until senior outside hitter Meleina ORourke scored a kill to tie
it 18-18.
We had enough time to come back and had time to
win, Carreon said. Weve had a lot of comebacks.
Weve fallen behind quite a bit. But weve been able to
come back.
The back-and-forth finale ultimately went into extra
points, with San Mateo (6-0 PAL Ocean, 10-9 overall)
forcing four set points to Westmoors one. With the
Rams leading 27-26, the Bearcats responded with
three straight points to close it out a right-side kill
by freshman Melody Shao; a long slap kill by
Carreon; and a Westmoor hitting error into the antenna to end it.
The comeback was a major momentum swing from
which Westmoor never recovered.
Its hard for us once our attitude starts to drop,
Westmoor senior Simone Gallegos-Hunkin said. We
start to play like we dont want to play. Its hard.
The Rams (4-2, 15-11) only led briefly at the beginning of Game 2, but a left-side kill by Bearcats sophomore outside hitter Emily Savage swung her team to
a 7-6 lead theyd hold to the finish. Then in Game 3,
San Mateo led wire to wire until ORourke closed it out
with her 10th match kill.
San Mateo saw three players record double-digit
kills. Along with Carreon and ORourke, the sophomore Savage has recorded a career-best four kills per
set with 12 match kills, and drawing raves from
Bearcats head coach Andoni Javellana in the process.
That was probably once of the best hitting performances of any game this year, Javellana said.
Shes very mature for her age.
Bearcats setter Jazmine McDonald ran the offense
like clockwork, finishing with 34 assists. The senior
has settled in nicely to the starting setter role after
being buried on the depth chart as the third-string setter last year. Her wherewithal to know where all her
attackers are at a given time is the reason for San
Mateos balance on offense.
I think she is definitely a good leader on the court,
Javellana said. She likes to get everyone the ball
which is a big thing for a setter.
McDonald was keen to keep feeding the hot hand in
Carreon though. Playing the part of the comeback
kids has been an epidemic for the Bearcats this season, but they have a throw-switch approach that has
allowed them to rise to the top of the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division standings.
When they figure out they want to win, they usually turn it up, Javellana said.
Thursdays win was critical in that it essentially
turns the Ocean Division into a two-team race between
San Mateo and Woodside, both tied atop the standings
with unbeaten league records. The two front-runners
square off next Tuesday at San Mateo at 6:15 p.m.
The loss for third-place Westmoor snaps a fourgame win streak in league, and drops them two games
back of the league lead. The Rams were paced by senior Dahlia Urrutias team-high six kills and three
blocks. Senior Natalia Abukhader shared the teamhigh with six kills. Gallegos-Hunkin fired a matchhigh six aces.
[This win] is huge, especially against a tough team
like that, Javellana said. Theyre always super
tough defensively and you can break down if youre
not ready for them.

U.N. impotent before Syria war crimes

By Michael Astor
UNITED NATIONS Russia and Syria

faced a growing chorus of international condemnation over their actions in Aleppo, but
U.N. officials conceded Thursday there was
little they could do beyond shaming the two
countries for what they are increasingly
calling war crimes.
U.N. humanitarian chief Stephen OBrien
told the Security Council that with the
Syrian armys encirclement, eastern Aleppo
has descended into the merciless abyss of
humanitarian catastrophe, with 275,000
additional Syrians now being besieged.
Besiegement its not a weapon of war, it
is a flagrant, unjustifiable breech of the law
law which the besieging parties have
signed up to, OBrien said. Even if not
today, one day there will be no hiding place
for the individuals and institutions callously,
cynically perpetrating these war crimes.
He said the total number of besieged people in Syria had climbed to 861,200 up from
586,000 just weeks ago.
OBrien said both the Syrian government,
which has encircled eastern Aleppo, and the
rebels mounting attacks from inside the city
were to blame for the situation.
Syrias civil war, now in its sixth year, have

repeatedly failed because Russia, Syrias
close ally, is one of the Security Councils
five veto wielding members.
On Wednesday, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon
also implicitly accused Syria and Russia of
committing war crimes.
Without naming countries, Ban said
those using ever more destructive weapons
know exactly what they are doing they
know they are committing war crimes. The
Syrian government announced the offensive
to retake rebel-held eastern Aleppo, and the
only countries carrying out airstrikes are
Syria and Russia.
Before heading into the Security Council
meeting, U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power
described the situation as grotesque.
You saw yesterday how the Syrian
Ambassador feels about the death, the
slaughter, of the Syrian people in Aleppo
he laughed, Power said. Thats the coldness and the brutality that were talking
about, and Russia stands right alongside

India says it has struck militants across Kashmir frontier

By Muneeza Naqvi
NEW DELHI India said Thursday it carried out surgical strikes against militants
across the highly militarized frontier that
divides the Kashmir region between India and
Pakistan, in an exchange that escalated tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
Pakistan dismissed the reports that Indias
military had targeted terrorist launch pads
inside the Pakistan-controlled part of

Kashmir. Islamabad said instead that two of
its soldiers were killed in unprovoked firing by India across the border.
Tensions, which are always simmering
between India and Pakistan, spiked after an
attack earlier this month on an Indian military base in Kashmir. India accused Pakistan
of sending militants belonging to the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammed group, headquartered in Pakistan, to carry out the attack.
Pakistan denied the charge.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has
been under heavy pressure to respond to the
attack on the military base.
Indian officials gave few details about the
strikes across the disputed border late
Wednesday night.
Significant casualties were caused to the
terrorists and those who support them, Lt.
Gen. Ranbir Singh, director general of military operations for the Indian Army, told
reporters in New Delhi. Singh said the operations were over and India has no plans for
more strikes. He said he shared details of the
strikes with his Pakistani counterpart.
Indian soldiers traveling on foot crossed
the Line of Control into the Pakistani-controlled portion to attack several targets based
on intelligence about imminent attacks, said
a high-ranking Indian official who would
only brief reporters on condition of
anonymity.

Onion cornbread leaves lasting memory

By Elizabet Karmel
ASHLEYS VIDALIA
ONION CAST-IRON CORNBREAD
Over the summer, I traveled to Wooster,

Ohio, for a barbecue summit at the headquarters of Certified Angus Beef.
It was a trip filled with learning, camaraderie and lots of smoked beef.
My fellow barbecue pit masters and I visited a black angus ranch, talked barbecue
non-stop, cut a side of beef together or
rather watched as the meat doctor Phil
Bass cut and explained.
I was introduced to several new cuts
including beef belly also known as beef
bacon which I immediately made when I
got back home. But, the standout of the
trip wasnt barbecue at all. Instead, it was a
Vidalia onion cornbread made by Ashley
Pado, chef of the education and culinary
This cornbread is light and cakey with a little tang and a little sweetness but the salty savory center at Certified Angus Beef headquaralmost-fried onions take it over the top.
ters.
Pado headed up a team of chefs preparing
that days feast that included a table of
smoked beef, numerous side dishes, homebaked breads, pickled vegetables and that
memorable cornbread that sparkled with a
pave of caramelized Vidalia onion rings
set in the bottom of the cornbread.
When Pado served the cornbread, she
inverted it in the cast-iron pan so you
could see the concentric circles of onion
baked into the bottom. Even before we
took a bite, the group marveled at the presentation and wondered why more people
dont embellish cornbread.
The cornbread itself is light and cakey
with a little tang and a little sweetness but
the salty savory almost-fried onions take
it over the top.
Pado sauteed the onions in beef bacon
since she had it in her pantry. When I made
the recipe, I adapted it using pork bacon
but you could use butter or any kind of
bacon that you can get your hands on.
Start to finish: One hour

Servings: Eight
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup yellow corn meal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 large Vidalia onion, sliced thin and
kept together as one piece in rounds
4 slices bacon, diced
Equipment: 9 or 10-inch cast-iron skillet
Heat oven to 375 F
Saute bacon over low heat in skillet until
crisp. Meanwhile slice thin rounds of
onions, making sure you keep them intact
and in one piece.
Remove bacon from pan but leave the
bacon grease for the onions to cook in.
Carefully place the onion rounds in the
bottom of the pan to cover the surface. Let
onions cook until the edges begin to
brown. Be careful to keep onions in place
the bottom of the skillet will have a
polka-dot pattern. Season onions with a
dusting of fresh ground black pepper. Turn
off the heat and set aside until ready to
bake the cornbread. If the pan cools down,
warm the pan on low heat before pouring
the cornbread batter in pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour,
sugar, corn meal, baking powder and salt.
Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the
cream, buttermilk, oil, eggs and melted
butter until combined the mixture will
emulsify. Set aside.

wildlife, nature and architecture taken during her travels to 60 countries. Syria
Before the War, a collection of her work
now on display at Mercy Center Art Gallery
in Burlingame, features photographs of
historic monuments and portraits of daily
life from Freybergs 2008 travels through
Syria, contrasted with images of some of
those ruined sights today. Highlights
include Palmyras Temple of Bel; Aleppos
Citadel, Great Mosque and souqs (markets);
and Le Krak des Chevalier all destroyed
or damaged in Syrias civil war. Freyberg
said: While images of war-torn Syria fill
the media, many people are unfamiliar with
the rich cultural heritage and beautiful art
and architecture that has been destroyed. I
hope these photographs help people see a
side of Syria they didnt know. The Mercy

B URLINGAME HIGHLIGHTS THE
JAPANES E- AMERICAN
EXPERIENCE. On Sunday, Oct. 2, from 2 to 4
p.m., The Peninsula Museum of Art participates in Asia Week S.F. with a panel presentation: Beyond the Textbook, Stories of
the Japanese American Incarceration.
Delphine Hirasuna, Jill Guillermo-Togawa
and Judy Shintani will discuss how they
inform the public about this history by
providing an intimate view of the people
who were incarcerated and their descendants. Hirasuna, a third-generation (Sansei)
Japanese-American, is the author of The
Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the
Japanese American Internment Camps,
1942-1946, which became the subject of a
traveling exhibition with Hirasuna as curator. To date, the exhibition has been shown
in 15 museums in the U.S. and Japan.
Hirasunas family was interned in Jerome
and Rohwer, Arkansas, and her father served
in Italy with the Nisei 442nd Regimental
Combat Team. Togawa has worked as a
dancer and choreographer for more than 40
years, in her native Hawaii, New York and
in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she
worked as an artist, innovator and community builder for 30 years. In 1992, she
founded Purple Moon Dance Project, the
first dance company nationally to illuminate the experiences of lesbians and women
of color in dance. In 2008, she began
development of When Dreams Are
Interrupted, inspired by the story of the
Japanese-American family who was
removed from their home on the property
where Togawa lived with her family. Thirdgeneration Japanese-American artist Judy
Shintani is a daughter of an internee who
spent his teenage years at Tule Lake
Segregation Camp. Her work addresses the
imprisonment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, bringing to light memories, repressed emotions and current feelings about this period in U.S. history. Her
sculptural pieces are fabricated from such
topic appropriate materials as reclaimed
wood and barbed wire, illuminated lanterns
and deconstructed kimonos. The Peninsula
Museum of Art is a nonprofit visual arts
organization housing four exhibit galleries, a childrens art program, a library
resource center and a gift shop. The museum

Peter Bergs Deepwater Horizon,
which opens in theaters Friday, puts the
spotlight of a big-budget disaster movie
on the human toll of a real-life tragedy.
Mark Wahlberg stars as Williams, a central
figure in an earlier 60 Minutes segment
that focused on the Deepwater Horizon
workers.
There are probably several different
ways you could tell this story or any story,
but I liked this approach, says Berg
(Friday Night Lights, Battleship). I
was very moved by the fact that 11 men
lost their lives and I didnt even know that
before the 60 Minutes piece.
Made for over $100 million by
Lionsgate, Deepwater Horizon gives the

not against him. He and writers Matthew
Sand and Matthew Michael Carnahan know,
as Ron Howard did with Apollo 13 and
James Cameron knew with Titanic, that
its not about whether they live or they die
or if the ship goes down or all are saved. Its
about the process and those decisions, big
or small, corrupt or well-intentioned, that
made this disaster inevitable.
Based on a New York Times article,
Deepwater Horizons Final Hours, the
film is about the crew the men and women
aboard just doing their jobs. Mark Wahlberg
anchors as Mike Williams, a no-nonsense
engineer, who leaves his wife (Kate Hudson)

true story the kind of action-film treatment usually reserved for caped crusaders.
A mock oil rig, 85 percent to scale, was
built at an old Six Flags in Louisiana out
of more than 3 million pounds of steel
one of the largest film sets ever erected.
The film, based on a New York Times article that detailed the events surrounding the
explosion, burrows into the details and
politics of life on the rig leading up to the
chaos-inducing blowout.
Its great that the studio would take the
risk to make a movie that has no sequel
potential, says Wahlberg. At a time
when we get bombarded with superhero
movies and other stuff thats pretty mindnumbing, its nice to have a really smart,
adult movie that has action.
Though director J.C. Chandor (A Most
Violent Year) originally helmed the project, Berg (Friday Night Lights,
Battleship) came aboard to lend the film
a more movie star-based approach. This
film works on many levels and I think one
of them is just a big-ass action film in the
best possible way, Berg says.
Bergs last film, Lone Survivor, similarly sought to pay tribute to a hardened
community (the Navy SEALS) with kinetic
verisimilitude. Many of the rig workers

have small roles in the film or served as
consultants, including Williams.
Once the family members and loved
ones heard that they were making a movie,
they were all completely against it because
they assumed that Hollywood was going to
make a movie about the environmental disaster and their loved ones would be overlooked again, says Wahlberg. Once we
were able to communicate to them what our
intentions were, what the movie was going
to be, then they all came onboard. We
wanted to honor those people.
Some may take issue that one of the
largest environmental disasters in history
has been reduced to a fiery action movie.
Deepwater Horizon spends little time on
the millions of barrels of oil that leaked
into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days after
the explosion. Nor is there much scrutiny
of BP, which was found primarily responsible for the spill by a federal judge in
2014. It has paid billions in cleanup
costs, penalties and settlements.
When it came down to who decided
what, pointing figures, we didnt want to
do that, says Wahlberg. These guys do a
very dangerous job.
The primary figure of corporate greed is

encapsulated by rig supervisor Donald
Vidrine (played by John Malkovich with a
devilish Cajun accent), who was found
guilty of a misdemeanor pollution charge
for a shoddy pressure test that precipitated
the explosion. In the film, a money-centric, behind-schedule BP is seen as recklessly rushing past safety regulations.
Williams, an electrician who has given
up the oil business to homeschool his
kids, says Berg told the story right down
the middle. He hopes the film makes people more aware of the dirty, dangerous,
potentially toxic business that fuels their
cars.
More than likely, the people who see
this film are going to get in a car and drive
to the theater, he says. Or even if they
take public transportation, it still has to
have some kind of fuel source. And even if
its electric-powered, it still has to have
grease, it still has to have tires all, of
course, petroleum products. When they
make that connection, it will be a deeper
connection to the men that died.
Its the least I can do to speak for
them, says Williams, because Im still
here and theyre not.
school science project spells out exactly

what he and his co-workers do and foreshadows what will go wrong. Its the kind of set
up that on paper likely seems too cutesy,
but here, it not only works, it actually
builds tension rather effectively.
Gina Rodriguezs Andrea Fleytas, Dylan

OBriens Caleb Holloway and Ethan
Suplees Jason Anderson. Its the rare film
that can make you care about, and be able to
tell the difference between, over a dozen
characters.
Its a welcome step up for Berg, too,

whose patriotic bombast and cliche romanticism overwhelmed Lone Survivor. Here,
you really internalize the plight and rage of
the workers, even though most people in
the audience arent likely to ever set a foot

on an oil rig.
When Kurt Russells crew leader Jimmy
Harrell gets angry at the corporate brass for
having neglected to perform some critical
safety tests, youre angry right along with
him. The execs like Don Vidrine (a perfectly
slimy John Malkovich) see only that
theyre behind schedule and over budget and
are cutting corners with abandon even as the
rig seems to be faltering underneath them.
Jimmy and Mike eventually convince
them to run a few tests a white knuckle
endeavor for everyone involved and, well,
you can torture a statistic until it talks and it
seems it might be the same for a pressure
test. So they proceed, and, of course, things
go spectacularly wrong.
It is a spectacle indeed a must-see horror of fire and oil as this unbelievably massive structure explodes and crumbles around
all the people weve gotten to know, like
look slightly lumpy.

Just before baking, add the cooked
bacon back to the pan and place in the
areas around the onions, not on top of the
onions or it will interfere with the onion
pattern. Pour cornbread batter directly
into hot pan. Place in the center rack of
the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the middle comes out

clean.
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, run a
blunt knife around the edges of the castiron skillet to make sure that it isnt sticking on the sides. Carefully turn the skillet
upside down and flip cornbread out of pan
to expose onion rounds you can invert
the cornbread and place it upside down

back into the skillet for serving.

Deepwater Horizon rises above expectations of what a movie like this is capable
of at every turn restrained where you
think it might go too big or sentimental,
and genuinely affecting when you think
youre gearing up for an eye-roll. Wahlberg
may be an easy punchline, but hes an underrated everyman and at his subdued best here.
Even Hudson, in the generally thankless
concerned-wife role, makes it seem worthwhile.
I would have liked to have seen more of

the rescue efforts from the Navy, more of the
aftermath, but Berg keeps things focused,
and the movie is likely better off for it.
Deepwater Horizon achieves that impossible balance of being a tribute to the workers who both perished and survived that day
and a searing critique of the rotten system
that put them there in the first place.
Deepwater Horizon, a Lionsgate
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images, and brief strong language. Running time: 107 minutes. Three

MEASURE
sales tax will expire in 2043 with
voter approval.
The sales tax generates more than
$80 million annually and the board is
committed to spending a big chunk of
it on helping to build more affordable
housing with nonprofit partners.
Supervisor Don Horsley said up to
$20 million a year could be spent on
boosting the affordable housing stock
in the county. The county may also
seek lease revenue bonds to boost the
areas housing stock that would then
be paid for out of the general fund.
Sales taxes go into the countys general fund but technically cannot be
used to fund a specific initiative such
as a bond can.
Foes of the sales tax say a bond is a
much better option considering those
who support it would know exactly
how the revenue is spent.
It offers greater accountability and
transparency, former Foster City
mayor Linda Koelling said about a
bond. Koelling sits on the Stop K
committee
with
San
Carlos
Councilman Matt Grocott.
But a bond did not poll well with
voters so the county decided to seek
the sales tax extension.
BROWN
likely to do so, allowing them to set
aside a retirement nest egg over time
so they dont have to rely solely on
Social Security in their post-work
years. A third of all American workers
and two-thirds of part-time workers
dont have access to a retirement
plan through their employer, the Pew
Charitable Trusts
reported in
September, relying on U.S. Census
Bureau data.
The financial services industry
aggressively lobbied Brown for a
veto, warning that the proposal is
built on shaky financial assumptions
and may create overwhelming political
pressure for taxpayers to bail it out if it
hits hard times.
California lawmakers voted in 2012
to study the idea of creating a publicly
run retirement plan for private-sector
workers. After lawyers and financial
analysts said the program was likely
viable, the Legislature this year decided to implement the plan.
The move has been closely watched
due to the $1 million California spent
researching and refining its proposal
and the states sheer size, with 12 percent of the U.S. population. Oregon
23
Koelling and Grocott say its too

soon to bring the tax back to the voters considering it was passed less than
four years ago.
The first question is why now,
Koelling said.
She questions how the county can
determine its needs beyond 2023.
Grocott said the county should wait
until year nine of the temporary sales
tax before deciding whether the revenue is still needed and an extension
sought.
It appears to be that the temporary
sales tax is becoming permanent,
Koelling said.
Proponents of the extension such as
Evelyn Stivers with the Housing
Leadership Council and Michele
Beasley with the San Mateo County
Parks Foundation point to the good
work already accomplished with the
extra sales tax revenue.
Measure A revenue has improved
emergency dispatch services and funded the Big Lift preschool program,
addressing early learning and the literacy gap.
The revenue has also revitalized the
Parks Department, Beasley said.
Parks have been severely underfunded and Measure A has helped to
address access, Beasley said.
Measure A also funds paratransit for
SamTrans, Horsley said.
It has also been increasingly used to
fund affordable housing, Stivers said.
Supervisors just committed about $9

million, mostly in Measure A funds, to
help build 403 affordable housing
units throughout the county in partnership with nonprofits such as MidPen
Housing.
This is an investment for the future.
You cant build housing without
money and the change will take
years, Horsley said.
The county has added about 55,000
new jobs but only 2,100 units of housing in recent years, Horsley said.
Measure A passed with about 65 percent support in 2012 and needs a simple majority to pass.
But Koelling warns that future
boards can decide to spend the sales tax
on whatever they wish and that there is
no guarantee it will actually be spent
to tackle the housing crisis.
Plus, in a few years, maybe the
problem is not so big, Koelling said
about the housing crisis.
The job market may cool also, she
said.
But Beasley said the number of help
wanted signs in small shops and
restaurants throughout the county
point to how difficult it is to retain
workers who work for lower wages.
We need to decide whether we want
to be an exclusive or an inclusive community. If we want to be inclusive, we
need to provide housing, Beasley
said.
Measure K is on the Nov. 8 ballot.
and Illinois are working on implementing similar programs, and studies have
been ordered in several other states.
The U.S. Department of Labor gave
the green light in August to retirement
plans run by states and large cities or
counties, putting to rest questions
about their legality and removing a
major hurdle.
Californias plan, SB1234 by
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de
Leon, D-Los Angeles, requires
employers that dont offer retirement
accounts to automatically enroll their
employees in the state-run plan.
Unless workers opt out, a percentage
of their earnings would be deducted
from each paycheck and held in lowerrisk investments. The plans would
stick with workers as they move from
job to job, allowing them to accumulate larger balances in a single
account.
Like a standard individual retirement
account or 401(k), the investments
would be subject to the ups and downs
of financial markets, including the
potential for losses.
Secure Choice, as the program is
known, would be overseen by a board
with authority to make decisions about
investment options, the default savings rate and benefit payouts in retirement. Financial consultants recommended a default savings rate of 5 percent, which would rise by 1 percent a
year until it reaches 10 percent of pay.

The cost to the state is unclear, as it
depends how many employees participate, but could reach up to $134 million over the first several years,
according to the legislative analysis.
The program is expected to eventually
fund itself with fees on workers
deposits.
But Paul Schott Stevens, president
and CEO of the Investment Company
Institute, which represents mutual
funds and other investment products
that comprise a large share of traditional retirement savings accounts,
said in a letter to Brown that the program underestimates the risks and is
based on unrealistically rosy assumptions about the rate of savings.
With so many financial pressures
facing lower-income workers, many
are likely to opt out or withdraw their
balances early, he wrote, and the cost
to administer millions of small
accounts would be higher than proponents assume. Moreover, he said, the
states obligations under securities law
are uncertain, and the political pressure for taxpayers to backfill investment losses would be intense.
It simply would be imprudent to
move forward with the program without much further study and far greater
assurance that its costs are fully understood and accounted for, Stevens
wrote.

and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code

Romes city council votes

down 2024 Olympic bid
ROME As far as city leaders are concerned, Romes bid for the 2024 Olympics
is finished.
The city council voted in favor of scrapping the bid on Thursday, a week after
Mayor Virginia Raggi rejected the candidacy, citing concerns over costs.
It was irresponsible to say yes to the
RINK
either have to bring in a project that included a significant recreation that benefited the
entire community in the same way that the
ice rink did, or it would have to be such a
substantial amount of money that it mitigated the impact from not having the rink,
Goethals said, before articulating his plans
for a regional rink.
My goal is to find enough space in the
city, enough space in the county on municipal land, to have 2.5 acres that would serve
two sheets of ice, because thats what I
think we need in order to make it financially viable. And we need it to be on municipal
land so it will be in perpetuity and not have
what happened in San Mateo or Belmont,
Goethals said.
The topic of ice rinks has peaked in controversy in recent times since SPI closed the
POT
times dropped to 18 percent among those
who participated in an anonymous student
survey last year from 27 percent the year
prior, the potency of the drug is stronger
than ever before, said Garcia. For all county
11th-graders, 25 percent have used the drug
at least four times.
Parents who may have smoked marijuana
during their college years could be unfamiliar with the drug available to their children,
she said.
People who smoked in the their 20s may
not think it is not so bad, she said. But it
has changed a lot.
LOCAL/WORLD

of the mayors rejection.

There was also one supporting vote from an
opposition party. Six
council members were
absent.
The rejection leaves
only Los Angeles, Paris,
and Budapest, in the runVirginia Raggi ning for the 2024
Games.
The International Olympic Committee
will decide on the host city in September

2017. However, Rome bid leaders and the
Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) are
hanging on to hope that the bid can somehow be revived, perhaps if Raggi is ousted
from office.
IOC President Thomas Bach will be in
Rome next Tuesday for a sports and faith
conference at the Vatican.
Well decide what to do after meeting
Bach on Tuesday, CONI president
Giovanni Malago said.
San Mateo facility in 2013 and the Belmont

Iceland shut down earlier this year.
SPI has indicated there are no plans to
reopen the rink and if its financial offer
isnt accepted, may instead consider a different recreational use which could be
allowed by the Planning Commission.
However, amending the sites master plan to
allow for more lucrative retail space requires
council approval.
In a letter SPIs Dennis Wong sent to the
city Sept. 15, he requests the council allow
them to streamline the process by submitting a formal application that could be heard
directly by the Planning Commission,
instead of going through further informal
pre-application meetings.
Waiving the requirement for a neighborhood meeting and study session would avoid
superfluous evaluation of a project with
which the city and public are already very
familiar and for which the facts have been
conclusively established, Wong wrote.
Representatives with SPI did not return a
request for comment on what the anticipated
application may entail. However, based on

Wongs letter, it appears as though the
application will be similar, but perhaps
with SPI offering more money in exchange
for the master plan amendment.
Len Rosenduft and Dina Artzt, members of
the Save the Bridgepointe Ice Rink group,
said theyre concerned that SPIs proposal
wont be substantially different. While they
still believe reopening the existing rink is
the best option for the community, they
also worry that the requested accelerated
timeline might detract from Goethals goal
to create a new rink. Until land is identified
and the community assured an ice rink will
be built, they suggest SPI should wait.
We believe accelerating the process at
this stage, doesnt help the citys efforts or
the community, and only benefits SPIs
plans, Rosenduft said. Allowing them to
accelerate without having a clue what
theyre going to come back with? Theres
been distrust thats built up between the different parties. What does the city gain?
Artzt agreed, noting the community
remains frustrated the intent of the

Bridgepointe Master Plan in having an
operational rink has not been upheld. Since
the loss of the Belmont rink, she said skating activists have grown even more passionate.
Marijuana is between four to six times

more powerful than it was in previous
decades, said Garcia and can be intensified
further depending on whether the drug is
smoked, ingested or concentrated and taken
by other methods.
Compounding the potential threat associated with the heightened strength of the
drug is young people feeling less afraid of
marijuana, which Garcia said is likely tied
to the decreased perception that the drug is
harmful.
Research shows drug use trends upwards as
people feel it may pose less of a health hazard, said Garcia, and marijuana is on the
leading edge of such a swing after being
legalized to treat symptoms of some diseases such as cancer and glaucoma.
However, Garcia said it is important peo-
ple keep in mind marijuana can have harmful side effects.

Impaired memory, altered thinking, panic
and paranoia as well as slowed reflexes are
among the impacts brought on by marijuana
use, said Garcia, along with the threat of
addiction.
We forget it is a drug. It is a plant. But if
you put it in your system, your body is
going to want more of it, she said.
With the understanding that the drug may
become more accessible if legalized by voters, Garcia encouraged families to have
open and transparent dialogue about marijuana use.
If a child admits to experimenting, a parent should attempt to understand why, rather
than immediately jumping to punishing
them, she said.
You want to take more of an environmental approach, said Garcia, in reference to

parents seeking to understand the social,
emotional and psychological motivations
their child may have for smoking marijuana.
But with legalization looking increasingly likely according to polls showing state
voters are largely supportive of the ballot
initiative, a variety of unanswered questions regarding enforcement and drug use
still exist on the horizon, said Garcia.
She said potential health hazards, such as
judging whether a driver is too stoned to
operate a car, will likely be answered in the
coming years and months.
These are the questions coming up but we
dont have the answers, she said. They
should be answered though if it were to
pass.

candidacy, Raggi wrote on Facebook. We
wanted to say no to more debts for Rome
and for Italy.
The anti-bid motion passed easily, as
expected, by 30-12 since Raggis antiestablishment 5-Star Movement holds a
majority on the city council.
The 5-Star Movement holds 29 of the 48
council places, and all 29 voted in support
Goethals said the councils job is to represent the community and emphasized both
the commission and council have done so in
prior hearings. However, he noted the current situation of a shuttered rink sitting idle
isnt helping anyone.
The stalemate benefits no one. And my
obligation to residents of San Mateo means
that I need to weigh the potential downside
of having nothing, or having a prolonged
process where SPI comes in with applications for a yoga studio or for-profit gyms
and things that would not benefit the community nearly as much as significant funding that could allow us to build an ice rink,
Goethals said. But I think the council has
shown that we arent going to lay down for
anybody.
