Pressure mounting for height limits decision

Officials, citizens group scope building restrictions compromise over next two weeks
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A lengthy discussion of build-
ing heights Monday night that
left the San Mateo City Council
postponing a decision has led to
what could be an intense two-week
period in which city officials try
to hammer out a deal with the citi-
zens group trying to place a meas-
ure on the ballot to keep current
limits in place for another 10
years.
Members of the citizens group
San Mateans for Responsive
Government have until Aug. 6 to
reach an agreement with individ-
ual councilmembers regarding the
terms of an extension of Measure
P, which established 55-foot
height limits in most parts of the
city and restricted how densely
housing and commercial develop-
ers can build. City Manager Larry
Patterson and City Attorney
Shawn Mason are also authorized
to participate in the meetings.
Though the council can exercise
its independent authority and
place the group’s petition to
extend Measure P 10 years past its

Second trial date set for restroom birth mom
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Sept. 4 jury trial date was set Tuesday for
a 26-year-old woman accused of attempted
murder for allegedly trying to drown the
baby boy she just gave birth to in the rest-
room of a Redwood City McDonald’s restau-
rant last September, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Tuesday’s trial setting will mark the sec-

Lockner. If there are no further delays, the
trial would begin exactly a year after her
alleged offense, according to prosecutors.
On Sept. 4, 2017, Lockner was alleged-

Smoke clogs Yosemite Valley
as firefighters battle blaze
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARIPOSA — Hot and dry weather on
Tuesday hindered efforts to slow the growth
of a forest fire near Yosemite National Park
that killed a California firefighter last week-
end, leading some tourists to cut short their
visits although all park trails remained
open.
The blaze roaring through dry brush and
timber between the town of Mariposa and
Yosemite National Park has scorched more
than 19 square miles in steep terrain on the
park’s western edge, the U.S. Forest Service
said.
More than 1,400 firefighters were battling
the flames threatening more than 100 homes
and businesses, the Forest Service said. It’s
just 5 percent contained.
An inversion layer trapped smoke in the
area, limiting air attacks and leading officials
to issue a hazardous air alert, saying people
with health conditions should stay indoors.
“Use common sense. If it looks smoky
outside it’s probably not a good time to go
for a run. And it’s probably not a good time
for your children to play outdoors,”
Mariposa County officials said.

WEESAM2010 ON VISUALHUNT / CC BY-NC-SA
Alyssa Sandoval of Pollock Pines,
California, planned to leave the park
Tuesday. But she left a day early after spend-
ing a couple hours in a smoke-filled valley.
“The smoke was horrible, it was horrible.
My mother got sick, my husband’s eyes were
stinging, burning,” she said. “I’ve never
seen the valley like that. It was smoked out.
You didn’t even know you were in Yosemite.”
All amenities and trails remained opened
Tuesday, and park rangers tending the
entrances and the visitor center were inform-
ing tourists of the poor air quality, park
spokesman Scott Gediman said. Information
was also posted on the park’s social media
accounts.
“Our primary goal is get the information
out to them so they can decide how best to go
about their visit,” Gediman said.
Air quality monitors showed particulate
levels in the park at “very unhealthy” levels,
meaning everyone should avoid prolonged or
heavy exertion or risk serious health effects
such as respiratory problems.
Yet tourists plan their visit to Yosemite
months or even years in advance. So far,
there have been few cancellations, Gediman
said.

States: Workaround succeeding
after cut in health subsidies
SAN FRANCISCO — A workaround by
states to counter Trump administration cuts
to Affordable Care Act subsidies has largely
succeeded in protecting consumers from
higher costs, California and 17 other states
said.
The assessment came late Monday in a
court filing asking U. S. Judge Vince
Chhabria to put a lawsuit involving the cuts
on hold.
The filing says states have mostly pro-
tected subsidized consumers by allowing
insurers to raise premiums on some plans
offered on health care exchanges.
The increases triggered additional tax
credits for users who qualify for subsidies
on copays and deductibles, it states.
The U.S. Department of Justice said it had
no comment.
President Donald Trump announced last
October that he was ending government
payments intended to reimburse insurers for
providing low-income people with dis-
counts on out-of-pocket costs.

Woman describes finding

LOS ANGELES — A self-described beach-

cannabis testing in labs
After agreeing to ban all commercial

cannabis. That company and all others
looking to test cannabis in Foster City will
have to obtain a local business license and
conditional use permit from the Planning
Commission in addition to a state license,
according to a staff report.
These businesses will be allowed in the
city’s commercial mixed district north of
State Route 92 and in the light industrial
district, and not in residential neighbor-
hoods.  to Special Gardens Inc.
Some councilmembers raised concerns
about potential odors, security and disposal
of tested materials at a meeting July 16,
Moneda said, but agreed to approve the new
rules nonetheless.
Foster City’s police department has no

ing to the report.   and the handwriting on the checks is similar
In other business, the council decided to
move forward with a potential transient

Woman describes finding
survivor after cliff plunge
By Robert Jablon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A self-described beach-
comber says it was her luckiest find yet: A
woman who survived a 250-foot car plunge
off a cliff and a week stranded on a remote
California beach.
“We freakin’ love that beach and we’re so

Monday as she described the afternoon last

Hernandez had been driving to her sister’s

6 when a small animal crossed in front of her,
causing her to swerve and lose control of her
car, she wrote from her hospital bed Sunday
in a Facebook account.

cannabis testing in labs
After agreeing to ban all commercial

for cannabis testing laboratories.
City Manager Jeff Moneda said the city is
currently home to one company, Quantum
Mechanics, that’s interested in testing
cannabis. That company and all others
looking to test cannabis in Foster City will
have to obtain a local business license and
conditional use permit from the Planning
Commission in addition to a state license,
according to a staff report.
These businesses will be allowed in the
city’s commercial mixed district north of
State Route 92 and in the light industrial
district, and not in residential neighbor-
hoods.  to Special Gardens Inc.
Some councilmembers raised concerns
about potential odors, security and disposal
of tested materials at a meeting July 16,
Moneda said, but agreed to approve the new
rules nonetheless.
Foster City’s police department has no
concerns about the new regulations, accord-
ing to the report.   and the handwriting on the checks is similar
In other business, the council decided to
move forward with a potential transient
occupancy tax hike, which will be placed on

Immigrant children describe hunger

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ANA — Wet and muddy from their
trek across the Mexican border, immigrant
children say they sat or lay on the cold, con-
crete floor of the immigration holding cen-
ters where they were taken. It was hard to
sleep with lights shining all night and
guards kicking their feet, they say. They
were hungry, after being given what they say
were frozen sandwiches and smelly food.
Younger children cried in caged areas where
they were crammed in with teens, and they
clamored for their parents. Toilets were
filthy, and running water was scarce, they
say. They waited, unsure and frightened of
what the future might bring.

Trump backs down, says he
misspoke on Russia meddling
By Zeke Miller and Lisa Mascaro
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Blistered by
bipartisan condemnation of his
embrace of a longtime U.S. enemy,
President Donald Trump on Tuesday
backed away from his public under-

EU and U.S. relations
sinking further after
divisive Trump tour
By Raf Casert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — After a week of the worst barrage of insults
yet from U.S. President Donald Trump, the European Union
is looking westward toward the White House less and less.
Making it worse, Trump spent Monday cozying up to EU
adversary Vladimir Putin in an extraordinary chummy sum-
mit with the Russian leader in Helsinki.
Never mind. In an age when Trump has made political
optics all-important, on Tuesday the EU struck back. Key
EU leaders were in the far east in Japan and China looking
for the trust, friendship and cooperation they could no
longer get from a century-old ally.
Trump’s embrace of Putin and the EU’s Asian outreach
highlight the yawning rift, widening more by the day, in a
trans-Atlantic unity that has been the bedrock of interna-
tional politics for the better part of a century, as countless
graves of U.S. soldiers buried in European soil bear witness
to.
Trump’s abrasiveness and “America First” insistence had
been a given even before he became president. Europe’s
increasing resignation to letting go of the cherished link to
the White House is much more recent.
After last week’s brutal NATO summit where Trump derid-
ed Europeans as freeloaders, EU chief Donald Tusk spoke on
Tuesday of “the increasing darkness of international poli-
tics.”

Letters to the editor
Willful ignorance
Editor,
Steven Howard’s “Another rant” in the
Monday, July 16, edition of the Daily
Journal, does a good job of showing us
what an uphill battle we have ahead.
Howard suggests that Trump supporters
were concerned about 80 percent of
Americans having flat incomes from 2001
through 2015, and that the Democrats
could not propose fixes.
The Democrats had a majority in the
House of Representatives from 2007
through 2010. For the other 11 years, the
Republicans held the majority. You have
only to look at the bills passed by the
House between 2007 and 2010 see the ideas
the Democrats were bringing to the table.
You could also read both the Democrat
and Republican party platforms to see the
ideas being proposed. Strong unions, min-
imum wage increases, more access to high-
er education, affordable health care and a
healthy environment would all contribute
to improved incomes for the 80 percent,
and all are supported by Democrats but not
Republicans.
The primary policy the Republicans have
passed is to cut taxes on the 1 percent.
They’ve also made health care more expen-
sive, weakened unions and trashed the
environment.

chains they revere.” — Voltaire.

Make new offices for
businesses and employees
Editor,
In his article “Commercial rent jumps” in
the Monday, July 16, edition of the Daily
Journal, reporter Austin Walsh said office
rent space on the Peninsula spanning from
Daly City through Palo Alto reached $5.95
per square foot at the end of June. This hap-
pens because businesses want to be in the
area close to the city and airport.
We can build new offices south of Morgan
Hill and Gilroy to allow many businesses
to use them because when rent jumps up,
the cost will be higher and reduces the prof-
it, leading to high unemployment. High
unemployment will occur because employ-
ees will ask for higher salaries because the
rent and living expenditures in this area are
very high.
The area from Daly City to Palo Alto is
already very crowded and has high traffic.
So, we should work to have new buildings
available for the businesses in the area and
also new buildings available for the
employees.
Such new vacancies will help reduce the
unemployment and at least keep the rent
stable in the area which will also help to
increase the demand in other areas as well.
That will help generate more income taxes
and corporation taxes as well.

OPINION
Our criminal justice system
Editor,
“The American criminal justice system is
a joke.” As a daily reader of the San Mateo
Daily Journal, I always come across arti-
cles that depict criminal matters beginning
from arraignment to sentencing or judg-
ment.
Some get to go home while they wait for
their matters to be resolved while some
have to stay incarcerated. Some get to hire
a private attorney while others are appoint-
ed a public defender who will always most
certainly do the bare minimum required. I
say all of the above to say this “money,
money, money.” Apparently in the crimi-
nal justice system, money talks and, well,
you know the rest. This is very unfair and
the sentencing guidelines are extremely
based on a lawyer’s ability and desire to
deal.
Everybody should have equal and fair rep-
resentation regardless of their social class
or income. Just because someone isn’t all
the way at the top of the totem pole should
not mean they should be kicked aside and
become another statistic. There should be
equal representation for everyone.
A football player by the name of Donte
Stallworth once killed a woman while driv-
ing impaired and ended up getting about 30
days or less in jail. Why should someone
who drives impaired and is stopped by the
police without any death or injury be sub-
jected to months or even years in confine-
ment? Instead of wasting time and taxpay-
ers’ money on frivolous matters, we need to
repeal and repair the criminal justice sys-
tem.

Alas, Selective
Service vs. Electoral College
Editor,
Four deferments for college education
anymore, a new medical deferment for
faulty feet (bone spurs in both heels) dis-
qualified a person from Selective Service
draft into the military during the Vietnam
era.
Too bad the same deferments (in particu-
lar bone spurs in both heels) cannot dis-
qualify an unpopular person from filing for
candidacy, campaigning, getting electoral
college votes and becoming president of
the United States in this era.
To be generous, perhaps this person was
once a young and conscientious objector.
Perhaps now they are just an old and uncon-
scious traitor.

California’s surge
in homelessness
The San Diego Union-Tribune
C
alifornia’s emergence as the
national epicenter of America’s
homeless problem has made head-
lines for years. A December story in The
New York Times noted that, while there had
only been a 1 percent increase in total U.S.
homelessness over the previous 12
months, there had been a “dramatic surge in
West Coast cities,” especially in
California. With about 114,000 homeless
individuals, the Golden State had more than
one-quarter of the nation’s total, the Times
reported.
On the record, state politicians generally
say the right things about this problem,
and they often follow through with con-
structive action. No hard statistics are
available, but it’s a safe bet that local and
state spending meant to help the homeless
is at an all-time high. Yet when the micro-
phones are off, some of these same politi-
ways as beyond their control —
California’s great weather, you see, serves
as a magnet to the mentally ill and/or drug
addicts of the world.
However, a recent new study conducted as
part of UCLA’s Anderson Forecast on eco-
nomic trends made this argument seem like
a lame excuse by politicians who don’t
want to admit to their utter failure of leader-
ship in addressing California’s severe
housing crisis. UCLA economist William
Yu found no evidence in the United States
of a direct correlation between the quality
of the weather and rates of homelessness.
Instead, homelessness in America correlat-
ed strongly with housing costs. Yes,
California and Hawaii are on the short list
of the areas with the highest percentage of
homeless people — but so are Washington,
D.C., and New York.
The data Yu cited certainly show that
individuals’ personal circumstances play a
role in whether they are homeless; about a
quarter of homeless individuals in the
Golden State are severely mentally ill, and
nearly one-fifth are chronic drug users. But
most don’t fall into these categories.
Instead, they simply can’t afford rent,
much less a mortgage.
A Los Angeles Times report on Yu’s find-
ings offered further evidence that assump-
tions about good weather attracting the
homeless to California were questionable.
It noted that homeless authorities had
found that three-quarters of the unsheltered
homeless in Los Angeles County had
homes before losing them and that nearly
two-thirds had lived in the county for more
than 20 years.
It’s obvious that California’s housing
crisis and the homelessness crisis are
deeply interrelated. This means the most
effective way to reduce homelessness in the
Golden State is also the most effective way
to reduce poverty and human misery here:
adding housing stock to push down prices.
Against this backdrop, the myopia of
everyone who has contributed to the state’s
housing shortage seems even worse. The
local officials who for decades have ducked
their obligations under state laws to build
new housing to accommodate population
growth. The unions, environmentalists and
trial lawyers who have used state laws to
extract concessions from developers that
drive prices far higher. The local home-
owners whose satisfaction with their own
lives leads them to go full NIMBY when
new housing projects are proposed for their
communities.
They’re all responsible for millions of
California families spending so much on
housing they have little left for other needs
— and for homelessness reaching new
extremes. And unless they can be over-
come, these problems aren’t going to get
fixed. The same UCLA report that addressed
the homeless-housing cost nexus found no
evidence that housing prices would come
down anytime soon.

Stocks rebound as tech, household goods rise

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks ral-
lied Tuesday as retailers, technolo-
gy and household goods compa-
nies all made solid gains and
helped the market shake off a weak
start. Netflix slumped after
investors were disappointed with
the streaming video company’s
subscriber growth.
Stocks skidded at the start of
trading as investors sold some of
their recent favorites including
Facebook and Apple. But those
stocks later recovered and Netflix
narrowed its losses. Technology
companies also turned higher and
strong results from Johnson &
Johnson pulled health care stocks
upward.
Federal Reserve Chairman
Jerome Powell delivered a posi-
tive view of the economy as he
told Congress that he expects the
Fed to keep gradually raising
interest rates. Powell said the Fed
believes the economy will stay
strong and inflation will remain at
around 2 percent for the next few
years. Stocks have fallen previous
times that Powell gave major
addresses, but they didn’t do so on
Tuesday.
Investors focused on company
earnings, which aside from
Netflix were mostly good.
Financial services company
Charles Schwab and regional bank
Comerica both rose.
“Double-digit earnings growth
for this quarter and this full calen-
dar year remains on track, and a 10
percent gain in earnings next year
is also still doable,” said Sam
Stovall, chief investment strate-
gist for CFRA.
While investors have been buy-
ing U.S. stocks and selling for-
eign indexes this year, Stovall
said earnings growth for compa-
nies in overseas markets will
probably improve in 2019 while
U.S. profit growth slows down.

In his semi-annual testimony to mate outcome of current discus-
Congress Tuesday, Powell described sions over trade policy as well as
the Fed’s process for slowly raising the size and timing of the econom-
interest rates as “running smooth- ic effects of the recent changes in
fiscal policy,” he said.
The Fed has lifted its key policy
rate twice this year. It signaled
last month that it expected two
more hikes this year.
“Our policies reflect the strong
performance of the economy and
are intended to help make sure that
this trend continues,” Powell said
in his prepared testimony.
After the 2008 financial crisis,
the Fed kept its key policy rate at
a record low near zero for seven
years before starting a slow
process of boosting rates in
December 2015. It raised rates
once in 2015, once in 2016 and
then three times last year as the
economy has begun to gain
momentum.
This year’s rate hikes, which
occurred in March and June, have
left the Fed’s key rate in a range of
1.75 percent to 2 percent.
The unemployment rate at 4 per-
cent is near a two-decade low.
Economists believe overall eco-
nomic growth, as measured by the
gross domestic product, could top
4 percent in the just-concluded
April-June quarter.
“The solid pace of growth so far
this year is based on several fac-
tors,” Powell said. “Robust job
gains, rising after-tax incomes
and optimism among households
have lifted consumer spending in
recent months.”
Powell, who joined the Fed in
2012 as a board member, was
tapped to succeed Janet Yellen as
chairman in February after
President Donald Trump decided
not to offer Yellen a second term.
While Fed officials have sup-
ported Powell’s two rate hikes this
year with no dissents, one key
policymaker, Neel Kashkari, the
president of the Fed’s
Minneapolis regional bank, said
in an essay Monday that he was
growing concerned about the nar-
rowing gap between short-term
interest rates and long-term rates.

Amazon upbeat on Prime Business brief

Day, despite early glitches
NEW YORK — Amazon is hoping cus-
tomers don’t see any more dogs, after early
problems on Prime Day meant people trying
to shop got only images of cute canines
delivering an apologetic message.
The snags Monday on its much-hyped
Prime Day were an embarrassment for the
tech company on the shopping holiday it
created, and people took to social media to
complain that they couldn’t order items.
Amazon said it was resolving the glitches
and in a tweet Tuesday lauded Prime Day
growth in the first ten hours compared to last
year. The event is in four new countries this
year and it’s running longer.
The hiccups, though, could have sent
shoppers elsewhere during a key period when
Amazon signs up new Prime members. Many
other chains offered sales and promotions to
try to capitalize on the Prime Day spending.
“I am shocked this caught them off guard,”
analyst Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali at Forrester
Research wrote in an email. “But I guess the
lesson is to not have a big unveil during the
middle of the day when everyone comes to
your site all at once.”
Amazon, which recently announced that
Prime membership would be getting more
expensive, was hoping to lure in shoppers
by focusing on new products and having

HMB walks off with Section 3 crown

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
FREMONT — Ben Cleary has been the
Half Moon Bay Majors All-Star team closer
on the mound this postseason, helping
HMB to a rare District 52 title and a spot in
the championship game of the Section 3
tournament.
Cleary is also turning into quite the clos-
er at the plate.
A day after handing Union City American
its first loss of the tournament with a walk-
off home run to give HMB a 2-1 win, Cleary
homered twice in a nine-run bottom of the
fifth, including a walk-off grand slam to
punctuate a 10-0 victory
at Marshall Park in
Fremont and give HMB
the Section 3 title and its
first-ever berth into the
state tournament.
“I don't think I’ve ever
done that before,” Cleary
said of his two bombs in
Ben Cleary one inning. “We hadn’t
been lighting anything
up. … It was good to know we can do it.”
Cleary’s first homer came with Geoffrey
Gus on first after being hit by a pitch to lead
off the inning. Cleary, the leadoff hitter,
came to the plate and, on a 2-2 count, hit a
laser over the fence in left-center field, giv-
ing HMB some breathing room and a 3-0
lead.
Cleary came to the plate again three runs
later and the bases loaded and unloaded on
the first pitch he saw — a towering blast
over the center-field fence to give HMB the
10-run, mercy-rule win.
“He’s key for us,” said HMB starting
pitcher Liam Harrington. “He’s probably
our best hitter.”
If Cleary is the team’s best hitter, then
Harrington is its best pitcher. Harrington
was dominant as he threw a no-hitter on just
57 pitches through five innings, striking
out seven with only a pair of walks standing
between him and a perfect game.
“It feels awesome,” Harrington said. “I’ve
had no-hitters before, but never in a game
like this.”
He retired the side on just seven pitches in
the first inning and then struck out the side
in the second — all looking.
“My fastball was dealing. My curveball
was snapping,” Harrington said. “I was just
going. I was loose. My arm felt on point.”
HMB needed Harrington at his best
because for the first four innings, the game
was a pitcher's duel. UCA’s AJ Boyles was
just as effective as the big southpaw held

Kerr receives contract extension

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Golden State
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has
received a contract extension fol-
lowing the franchise’s repeat
championship and third title in
four years during his tenure.
Kerr and general manager Bob
Myers, who are close friends and
colleagues, said when the season
ended that something would get
done quickly once they began for-
mal discussions. Kerr had one year
remaining on his original $25
million, five-year contract.
Details of the extension were not
announced Tuesday.
The 52-year-old Kerr has said he
hopes to coach at least another
decade and perhaps 15 years. His
Warriors swept LeBron James and
Cleveland in the fourth straight NBA
Finals matchups between the rivals.
Kerr stayed healthy and on the
bench while continuing to deal
with symptoms such as headaches
and dizzy spells stemming from a
pair of back surgeries following
the 2015 title.
Steve Kerr finished the 2017-18 season with one year remaining on his
contract, but agreed to an extention Tuesday as the Warriors’ head coach.
The Warriors marked themselves
as a dynasty with their latest
crown. They joined Bill Russell’s
Boston Celtics, the Chicago Bulls
led by Michael Jordan and the
Lakers’ trio of title runs fueled by
George Mikan in the 1950s,
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar in the ‘80s, and Shaquille
O’Neal and Kobe Bryant nearly 20
years ago as the only franchises in
NBA history to capture three
championships in four years.
KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS
Golden State captured the fran-
chise’s first title in 40 years dur-
ing 2014-15, with Kerr as a rookie
head coach. Now, the Warriors are
gearing up for one more season in
Oracle Arena before opening their
state-of-the-art Chase Center in
San Francisco’s Mission Bay
neighborhood in August 2019.
James offered a shoutout to Kerr

Hillsborough winning 6-2.
For Jui-Cheng, his team’s Bay
Area baseball tour is something of
a mustard seed for a sport that has
long flourished at the Little
League level in Taiwan, but has
seen few Taiwanese break through
to Major League Baseball. Taiwan
has captured 17 Little League
World Series championships, with
four of those by Taichung, includ-
ing the country’s first title in
1969. Yet just four Taiwan-born
players have made appearances in
MLB this season.
Said Chuang while interpreting
for Jui-Cheng: “When he started
playing baseball, they all heard
about Williamsport. That was the
Mecca of Little League baseball …
so they wanted to do all they had to
do to get there. The first time he was
able to get there and experience the
field, that was just so incredible.
“Twenty-seven years later, the
fire is still burning, the dream is
still alive in his heart … but also
he’s looking at it as a training
point and how he can enrich the
game for the kids.”

Woods says British Open is best shot at a major
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — Tiger Woods
doesn’t feel as old at the oldest champi-
onship in golf.
Back at the British Open for the first time
in three years, Woods broke from his tradi-
tion on Tuesday morning. Instead of being
among the first on the tee for practice, he did-
n’t show up at Carnoustie until his news con-
ference just before lunch. Then, he played
nine holes with Masters champion Patrick
Reed and Bryson DeChambeau.
This was not a case of a 42-year-old need-
ing his rest.
Entering the year having not played any
major since the end of 2015 and the start of
three back surgeries, Woods has been feeling
better as 2018 has gone on. And there’s some-
thing about links golf that inspires him.
“It’s my favorite type of golf to play,”
Woods said. “I love playing here, this type
of links golf, or a style of links golf down on
the Aussie sand belt ... because it is creative.
We’re not going to get the most perfect
bounces. And I think that’s the fun challenge
of it.”
He made his links debut at Carnoustie in
1995 as an amateur at the Scottish Open, a
week before his British Open debut at St.
Andrews. He hasn’t contended on the back
nine in the previous Opens at Carnoustie, in
1999 and 2007, though he wasn’t far from a
playoff.
Might this be his best shot at winning
another major?
“Not to be smart, but it is the next major
I’m playing,” Woods said with a laugh.
But over time, he thinks it might be his
best chance because of history. Woods
recalls 53-year-old Greg Norman playing in
the final group at Royal Birkdale in 2008, a
major Woods missed because of knee surgery.
The following year, Woods missed the cut for
the first time at the British Open when 59-
year-old Tom Watson was one putt away from
winning at Turnberry.
“You don’t have to be long to play on a
links-style golf course,” Woods said. “You
get to places like Augusta National, where
it’s just a big ballpark, and the golf course
outgrows you, unfortunately. That’s just the
way it goes. But a links-style golf course,
you can roll the ball. Distance becomes a
moot point.”
SPORTS
Tiger Woods getting his feet on the ground during a practice round Tuesday in Scotland.
That said, distance is everything at
Carnoustie this year, which Woods discov-
ered when he arrived Sunday.
How far the ball travels in the warm, dry air
is not the issue. It’s how far it travels once it
gets on the baked turf.
Dustin Johnson discovered that when he
arrived on Saturday and reached the 499-yard
18th hole, with a stiff breeze at his back and
fairways running only slightly slower than
they did on the weekend at Shinnecock Hills.
He hit driver into the burn. The next day,
his drive was a few yards short of the burn.
“I hit some irons, and depending on the
wind, I’ll probably hit anywhere from ... I’ve
hit 3-wood, 3-iron and 4-iron off the tee,”
Johnson said. “I like all of them.”
With the wind at his back on the 513-yard
14th hole, Johnson hit 3-iron and wedge.
One thing hasn’t changed about links golf
— it’s best to keep the ball out of the pot
bunkers, which effectively are a one-shot
penalty. The question for so many players is
whether that means going down to as little as
a 7-iron off the tee (such as the 350-yard third
hole) or smashing driver over all the trouble.
Johnson figures he’ll hit driver on half of
the holes. U.S. Open champion Brooks
Koepka might hit as many as nine drivers.
The conditions are as brittle as Muirfield in
PAUL CHILDS/REUTERS
2013, though most comparisons are with
Hoylake in 2006, when Woods won the Open
for the second straight time by hitting driver
only one time all week.
“There’s not a lot of opportunities to hit
the driver just because the ball is going to be
rolling 80 yards,” Woods said. “It’s just hard
to keep the ball in play. Even hitting some-
times 4- and 5-irons, they’ve been running
50, 60 yards. It’s going to be an interesting
test to see which clubs we’re going to be
using off the tees, and a lot of it is dependent
on which way the wind blows.”
Woods had a 2-iron built for him specifi-
cally for the British Open, and he wonders
how much he’ll even use it. That has been too
much club off the tee. Instead, most of his
shots are with a 3-iron or 4-iron.
Reed was familiar with conditions the year
Woods won at Hoylake, even though he was
only 15. Reed won the Junior British Open
that summer at Heswall, not far from Royal
Liverpool. It was not only dry but extremely
hot, and Reed was in rain pants because he
didn’t like wearing shorts.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams
have agreed to a five-year extension with
wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
The Rams traded their first- and sixth-
round picks in the 2018 draft to the New
England Patriots for Cooks and a fourth-
round pick earlier this year.
Before joining the Rams, Cooks played in
58 regular-season games with 46 starts, and
had at least 1,000 yards receiving in each of
the past three seasons.
The fifth-year pro has 280 receptions for
3,943 yards and 27 touchdowns, and aver-
ages 14.1 yards per reception. He had nine
100-plus yard receiving games in 2016 with
the New Orleans Saints.

Record 10 homers as AL wins ASG in 10 innings

By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A record 10 home runs.
A slew of strikeouts.
The all-or-nothing All-Star Game mir-
rored what baseball has become.
Astros teammates Alex Bregman and
George Springer homered on consecutive
pitches to begin the 10th inning, and the
American League beat the National League
8-6 Tuesday night for its sixth straight win.
“Standard operation nowadays, right?”
said AL manager A.J. Hinch of Houston.
“We’re going to homer and punch out as an
industry.”
“There’s a great love affair with both
results. I mean, to kind of empty your tank
and hit homers tonight at this event is
probably the best thing imaginable,” he
said. “Just to have that kind of emotion that
comes with the home run, especially when
the big boys hit it and especially when the
Astros hit it.”
Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Jean Segura
also connected for the AL in a game where
every run except one scored on a homer.
Scooter Gennett hit a tying two-run shot
off Seattle closer Edwin Diaz in the bottom
of the ninth. Joey Votto, Willson
Contreras, Trevor Story, Christian Yelich
also went deep for the NL.
There had never been more than six
homers in an All-Star Game since Babe Ruth
hit the very first one in 1933.
Not that everything went the sluggers’
way. Starters Max Scherzer and Chris Sale
and the relievers combined to fan 15 in the
first 4 1/2 innings, and there were 25 strike-
outs overall.
Fitting, because this season is on pace to
become the first with more strikeouts than
hits, a year after a record number of home
runs.
“You’re facing power pitchers right now,
so that’s kind of what you expect: hit-or-
miss with these guys, ” Boston’s J. D.
Martinez said.
Martinez, who leads the majors in homers
and RBIs, singled and struck out in his two
at-bats.
Orioles shortstop Manny Machado had
fun, pulling out a camera to snap a selfie at
second base after Matt Kemp doubled. By
Wednesday, they could be teammates —
Baltimore seems ready to trade Machado,
with the Dodgers and Phillies in the mix.
“I’m just trying to enjoy this moment
with the American League guys,” Machado
told FOX in the dugout. “If this is the last
time (in a Baltimore uniform), hopefully I
treated them well and did everything I can

MLB 2.018, an update that’s not appealing Houston battering Los Angeles pitchers in played to a decision, and leads the series 44-
to everyone.
“Some of us are going to get them and
they’re going to get us. It’s just how it
goes, ” Atlanta first baseman Freddie
Freeman said.
Declining attendance is a concern, and the
sport’s owners worry that slower games
with less action on the bases are taking a
toll.
A day after hometown star Bryce Harper
electrified the crowd by winning the Home
Run Derby, it was eerily quiet for most of
the evening at Nationals Park. Harper didn’t
excite the fans, either, fanning in his two
at-bats.
The popular Presidents Race at the park
drew the biggest cheer in the middle
innings, with the big-headed George
Washington character prevailing.
The only thing missing was a bevy of
defensive shifts. Overloaded infields are the
norm now, Hinch and NL manager Dave
Roberts of the Dodgers pretty much played
earned MVP honors. He’s familiar with this
city, his grandfather having been the gener-
al counsel for the old Washington Senators.
“My dad grew up on Ted Williams’ lap. So
to see Ted Williams Most Valuable Player on
this trophy is pretty special,” Bregman
said.
Segura’s three-run homer in the eighth
landed in the bullpen and broke a 2-all tie.
The Seattle infielder popped up the previous
pitch, but Votto, Cincinnati’s reliable first
baseman, dropped it for an error as he
approached the dugout railing.
Segura then connected off Milwaukee’s
Josh Hader, one of baseball’s most domi-
nant relievers.
Judge homered in the second off Scherzer,
the Nationals ace who became the first
reigning Cy Young Award winner to start an
All-Star Game in his home park. There was
another judge at the park besides the
Yankees slugger — Brett Kavanaugh,
President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court
nominee.
“It’s tough to barrel up some balls when
you’ve got some of the best pitchers in the
game throwing against you and you don’t
really have a scouting report. You’re just
going up there swinging,” Judge said.

Alaphilippe keeps nation celebrating
with Stage 10 win at Tour de France
By Ciaran Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LE GRAND-BORNAND, France
— France has a new cycling star.
Two days after the country’s soc-
cer players won the World Cup,
Julian Alaphilippe became the
first French winner of a stage at
this year’s Tour de France Tuesday.
Fueled by previous disappoint-
ments and thoughts of his ill
father watching on TV,
Alaphilippe timed his break per-
fectly and powered to victory on
the first day in the mountains,
crossing the line alone, and fin-
ishing well ahead of his rivals for
his first Tour win.
“I imagined winning it because
it was a huge objective for me, but
to win it like that, all alone ...,”
Alaphilippe said.
“I don’t know how many kilo-
meters I was alone - phew, it was a
bit risky but I tried to up the pace
and I really profited.”
He finished 1 minute, 34 sec-

sweet-swinging left-handed hitter
demonstrated on nearly every
swing.
And that fluid swing carried over
into the game as he went 3 for 4
with a double.
According to Cheng-Hao, the
double was the highlight of his
night, “because it was the furthest
one that got him to second base,”
the 11-year-old said through an
interpreter.

“I was really happy that the last
kilometer was downhill, ”
Alaphilippe joked after giving the
Quick Step team its third win from
10 stages. “A rare and special
moment.”
See TOUR, Page 19
Not to be outdone, Hillsborough
left-hander Dylan Kall enjoyed a
spectacular performance as well.
He didn’t live up to expectations
in the home run derby, failing to
hit a single homer. In the game
though, Kall shined both sides of
the ball.
On the mound, he worked 2 2/3
innings as Hillsborough’s start-
ing pitcher to earn the win. And at
the plate, all he did was go 4 for 4
with a single, a homer, a double
NBA prepares for
expanded betting
LAS VEGAS — Here’s a scenario:
LeBron James is four assists and
three rebounds shy of a triple-double
after three quarters. A bettor, who is
watching at home and utilizing a
mobile app, decides to gamble that
James will get those assists and
rebounds in the final 12 minutes.
The wager then gets made before
play resumes.
The NBA wants that bettor to see
the best possible data.
So the league is seeking to get
stats out quicker than ever.
Fast isn’t fast enough for the NBA
anymore, not when it comes to stats
— especially now that the U.S.
Supreme Court has opened the door
for states to allow wagering on
games. The league has upgraded its
stat systems in the past year to try
and get its data out as close to real-
time as possible, even aiming to
beat the typical lag of 7-15 seconds
that it takes for television or stream-
ing services to show whatever hap-
pened.
It’s about what the NBA calls offi-
cial data. The league’s stance is that
getting accurate stats to bettors is
critical so the player knows what
they’re betting on and the casinos
and a triple to hit for the cycle,
including his two-run homer in the
third inning giving Hillsborough
a 3-2 lead, a lead they would not
relinquish.
“I was thinking about doing
good in the home run derby, but
that didn’t happen,” Kall said. “…
It was kind of ironic, actually. I
was using a (livelier) MAKO bat in
the home run derby and didn’t hit
any. Then in the game I used a reg-
ular bat and hit a home run.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
NBA brief
will know when to pay out or not.
But how much value that data has for
casinos — and whether they will pay
anything for it — remains unclear.
“My view is we should be compen-
sated for our intellectual property,
but we can do that directly, again,
with commercial relationships with
gaming establishments,” said NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver, whose
league had hoped this matter would
be resolved with federal regulation
instead of various policies getting
worked on state by state by state.
Silver met with betting officials in
Las Vegas earlier this month, and
how data should be provided was one
of the topics on the agenda. The
NBA has said it is seeking a 1 per-
cent “integrity fee” on wagers,
which the league said would offset
their additional security costs and
compensate them for the data they
can provide.
The casinos, however, are balking
at legislative mandates insisting
upon the use of official data. Joe
Asher, the CEO of bookmaker
William Hill USA, told The New
York Times that such a mandate “sets
up monopoly pricing power. This
whole thing of official league data is
like a smoke screen.”
Taiwan has now played three
exhibition games since arriving
Sunday, including a game later that
Sunday afternoon hosted by the
Millbrae Lions Club little lea-
guers. Taiwan also played a team
from Los Gatos. Tuesday’s game
against Hillsborough marked their
first loss.
Taiwan is also scheduled to play
in two tournaments, one in
Manteca and another in
Sunnyvale.

“I could sit here and say today —
‘Listen, Golden State is a great
team ...’ — I didn’t even mention
their head coach, ” James said.
“Their head coach is the one who
kind of puts it all together, makes
it all flow. To be able to put egos
and the right position and spot on
the floor where everybody feels
good about the outcome and
things of that nature — when it
comes to team sports, that’s some-
thing that you would hope that
you could be a part of.”
Kerr owns a 265-63 record
(.808), guiding the Warriors to a
record 73-win season in 2015-16
before a runner-up finish to the
Cavaliers. His Warriors then went a
record 16-1 during the 2017 post-
season on the way to another title.
He was tested more as a coach
this season, aside from his 43-
game absence to begin the 2015-
16 season when then-top assistant
and current Lakers coach Luke
Walton led the Warriors to a record
24-0 start and 39-4 mark before
Kerr’s return to the bench.
Late in the regular season this
year, Golden State lost seven of 10
during one noteworthy funk for a
team that when healthy starts four
All-Stars and can score in flurries
with a pass-happy offense that
racks up assists.
For weeks ahead of the 2018 play-
offs, the Warriors hardly looked like
that super team that dominated
through the previous postseason.
They lost their final regular-season
game at Utah by 40 points.
Yet Kerr and his players insisted
all along they would find another
level when there was something
bigger to play for.
Kerr was forced to use a mind-
boggling 27 different starting
lineups to get through the regular
season and wind up a No. 2 seed
behind Houston, with the Western
Conference finals marking the
first time the Warriors had to open
a series on the road since 2014.

Mom blames teen’s death on packaging for peanut cookies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WESTON, Fla. — A Florida mother
blames the death of her 15-year-old
daughter on what she calls confusing
packaging for Reese’s Chips Ahoy cook-
ies.
In a July 12 Facebook post, Kelli
Travers-Stafford wrote that her daughter
Alexi mistakenly ate one of the cookies at
a friend’s house despite her peanut allergy,
because the top of the familiar red packag-

Lyft spokeswoman Kate Margolis said the
company is investigating Lazo’s employ-
ment history.
She said company officials “have no rea-
son to believe these incidents occurred”
while the suspect was on duty.
Margolis didn’t respond to requests for
the timeframe of the suspect’s employment
with the company. Company officials told
other media outlets Vilchez Lazo was “deac-
tivated” as a Lyft driver last week after his
arrest.
Margolis also said it appears Vilchez Lazo
“fraudulently represented himself” in apply-
ing to drive for Lyft and passing its back-
ground check despite his immigration sta-
tus. The U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agency said Tuesday that
Vilchez Lazo was living in the United States
illegally.

ing was peeled back, hiding the Reese’s
label.
She says Alexi felt tingling in her
mouth on June 25 and they administered
two Epipens but Alexi quickly went into
anaphylactic shock, stopped breathing
and died within an hour and a half of eating
the cookie.
“As a mother who diligently taught her
the ropes of what was okay to ingest and
what was not, I feel lost and angry because
she knew her limits and was aware of
San Francisco district attorney
spokesman Alex Bastian said investigators
are also looking into the suspect’s work
history with Lyft. Vilchez Lazo was origi-
nally charged with impersonating a ride-
hailing driver.
ICE said it plans to deport Vilchez Lazo to
his native Peru if he’s ever released from
custody on the rape case.
The charges he faces carry a maximum
sentence of life in prison. And on Tuesday, a
judge revoked bail and ordered Vilchez Lazo
to remain jailed while awaiting trial, which
hasn’t been scheduled.
ICE also said it formally asked the San
Francisco Sheriff’s Department on Friday to
detain Lazo for federal immigration custody
in the unlikely event he is ordered released
from jail.
Vilchez Lazo was arrested last week on
multiple allegations, including four counts
of felony rape.
Deputy public defender Eric Quandt is
expected to be formally appointed to repre-
sent Vilchez Lazo when he is arraigned
Thursday.
familiar packaging, she knew what “safe”
was,” Travers-Stafford said in the post. “A
small added indication on the pulled back
flap on a familiar red package wasn’t
enough to call out to her that there was
“peanut product” in the cookies before it
was too late.”
Travers-Stafford, who lives in Weston,
which is near Fort Lauderdale, said she is
sharing Alexi’s story to “spread aware-
ness.”
Since her Facebook post, other parents
“ICE has made this case about sanctuary
laws and immigration status, and that has
nothing to do with the charges that are
being brought by the district attorney,”
Quandt told reporters outside court.
ICE officials said they believe its detainer
request will be ignored because San
Francisco’s so-called sanctuary city policy
bars local authorities from cooperating
with most deportation efforts.
ICE officials criticized the San
Francisco’s immigration policy, which has
also been adopted in scores of cities and
counties across the nation. The policy “not
only provides a refuge for illegal aliens, but
it also shields criminal aliens who prey on
people in the community,” ICE spokesman
Richard Rocha said.
San Francisco sheriff’s spokeswoman
Nancy Crowley said the department didn’t
have a response to ICE’s request to detain
the suspect “because there is nothing to
respond to.”
Crowley said the suspect “isn’t going
anywhere anytime soon” and if he’s con-
victed, he will be sent to prison.

are calling on Chips Ahoy’s parent com-
pany, Mondelez, to sell foods with aller-
gens in different-colored packages.
The company says it uses colors to dis-
tinguish chewy from chunky, and
describes ingredients in prominent labels.
“We take allergens very seriously,” the
company said in a statement, adding that
the packaging for chewy cookies made
with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups “clearly
shows that it contains peanuts through
words and visuals.”
“ICE asked us to notify them when he’s
released,” Crowley said. “The individual is
going to be in jail for some time.”
President Donald Trump made opposition
to sanctuary city laws one of his main cam-
paign themes. Trump took particular aim at
San Francisco’s policy after a man federal
authorities say was living in the country
illegally was charged with shooting to
death Kate Steinle in July 2015.
The San Francisco sheriff’s department
ignored an ICE request to detain Jose Ines
Garcia Zarate after local marijuana charges
were dropped several weeks before Steinle
was shot while walking on a popular pedes-
trian pier with her father.
A jury acquitted Garcia Zarate of murder
and homicide charges after he said the gun
that killed Steinle accidentally fired when
he found it underneath the pier bench he was
sitting on.
Garcia Zarate is now in federal custody
after the U.S. Attorney’s office charged him
with two illegal gun possession charges.
He has pleaded not guilty and faces trial
later this year.

If you have never used a cedar plank, you can buy them at the grocery store or online. They are not expensive and although
some people clean and re-use them, you can clean them and save them for firewood or for adding to a charcoal fire.
Grilling salmon on a wood
plank is chic and tastes good
By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If I have one go-to technique for
grilling and smoking fish, it is to use a
cedar plank. The plank supports the del-
icate fish as it cooks and doubles as a
serving platter.
It is a combination of rustic and chic
that looks good and tastes good — but
ultimately is very practical. The beauty
of this preparation is that you can make
it on a grill, in a smoker or even in the
oven (set inside a sheet pan).
The plank removes the obstacles that
people face when grilling fish. It won’t
stick to the cooking grate, it won’t fall
apart and you don’t have to use that
awkward fish basket.
The most common fish to cook on a
plank is salmon, but this technique
works for all filets of fish. I prefer to
grill fish steaks and shellfish directly
on the grill.
If you have never used a cedar plank,
you can buy them at the grocery store or
online. They are not expensive and
although some people clean and re-use
them, I like to clean them and save
them for firewood or for adding to a
charcoal fire. It’s pretty difficult to fully
remove the cooking smells from the
first cook and it’s not worth saving a
few cents and compromising your fresh
fish.
Once you have your plank and your
fish, it is so simple to prepare that you
hardly need a recipe. You brush the fish
with olive oil and season it lightly with
MCROSACCI ON VISUALHUNT.COM / CC BY-NC-ND
salt. Next you layer thin slices of
lemon over the fish like shingles on a
roof. I love cooking fish with a layer of
lemon slices on the top because it pro-
tects the top of the fish and keeps it ten-
der. It also gently scents the fish with
lemon and you have your lemon slice
hot and ready to squeeze over your por-
tion of fish.
Recently, I made this salmon at my
sister’s house using a new pellet
grill/smoker which lightly smoked the
fish with oak wood pellets. The fish
was so fresh and pristine that I didn’t
want to glaze it or make a sauce that
would cover up its natural flavors.
Instead, I made a Crunchy Cucumber
Salad with baby cucumbers, red onions,
fresh dill, capers, sour cream and Greek
yogurt. The creamy salad complimented
the salmon perfectly and was both side
dish and a crunchy refreshing sauce. It
was the ultimate hot summer’s night
meal.
SUMMER SALMON AND
CRUNCHY CUCUMBER SALAD
Servings: 4-6
Start to finish: 1 hour
Grilling Method: Indirect/medium-
low Heat
Grilling on a cedar plank is an old
Native American cooking technique
that is finding its way to backyards all
across America. You can purchase pack-
aged planks at gourmet cooking stores
or rough it and have a lumberyard cut
the planks for you. They are exactly the
FOOD
same, just make sure you use untreated
cedar wood. Try this recipe with center-
cut pieces of wild salmon. If wild
salmon is not available, farm-raised
salmon will work as well. Ask your fish
monger to stock the wild salmon — it
may be a little more expensive, but it is
worth every penny.
Salmon:
1 9-by-15-inch untreated cedar plank,
soaked in water for 30 minutes
1 wild salmon fillet, about 1 1/2
pounds (about 10 inches long)
1-2 large lemons, cut in thin slices
Sea salt
Remove the plank from the water and
place fillet skin side down on wood.
Brush with olive oil and season with
salt. Cover top with lemon slices.
Place planked salmon in center of the
cooking grate, plank side down. Grill
for 20-30 minutes or until salmon is
pink in the center and flakes easily with
a fork. Remove from grill.
Serve the salmon directly from the
plank.
CrunChy CuCumber Salad:
Servings: 4-6
This cucumber salad is refreshing and
crunchy in the heat of the summer when
cucumbers practically fall from the sky.
I usually make a batch and keep it for a
few days in the fridge, pairing it with all
manner of fish.
2 English cucumbers
1 small purple onion, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt

A pan-seared fish
with tomato basil
By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s summer. It’s hot. And we still need to make dinner.
We want it to be light, and we want it to be fast, and we
want it to be seasonal. We want it to be easy, and we want it
to be delicious, and if we are lucky it will also be pretty.
This fish dish is an easy-breezy summer offering. If you
have eaten or made tomato bruschetta before, then this top-
ping will surely look familiar. It’s basically the same sim-
ple tomato mixture frequently used to top olive-oil slicked
pieces of toast, but here it has a new perch on top of the fish
(hey, maybe even on perch!).
Four ingredients, including the fish (no, I don’t count
olive oil, salt and pepper), about 20 minutes, and look —
the nicest summer meal. The stove is on for all of 10 min-
utes, the tomato-basil topping is a no-cook proposition. I
kind of think this needs nothing else on the plate. But
obviously, any potato or rice or grain would be a nice addi-
tion for a more complete meal.
PAN-SEARED FISH WITH TOMATO BASIL RELISH
Servings: 4
Start to finish: 25 minutes
3 cups cored, seeded and diced ripe tomatoes (about 3 large
tomatoes)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 6-ounce pieces flounder, barramundi, tilapia, cod, or
other mild white fish
Combine the tomatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, basil,
garlic, and salt and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet
over medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pep-
per and sear for about 4 minutes on each side, without mov-
ing it around too much, until browned and cooked through.
Transfer the fish to individual plates. Place tomato mix-
ture on the side or top of the fish and serve hot.

To infuse this simple clam dish
with big flavor, we added Spanish
chorizo, thyme, and dry vermouth for
a potent broth in which to steam our
shellfish.
We added larger-grain pearl cous-
cous instead of traditional small-
grain couscous, as it is the perfect
vehicle for soaking up flavors and
also adds textural appeal.

We like the punch that dry ver-

also work. Do not substitute regular
couscous in this dish, as it requires a
different cooking method and will
not work in this recipe.

Continued from page 1
extension of Measure P on the ballot,
after conversations about the city’s
vision, changing needs and land use
policy have taken place as part of the
General Plan update.
Acknowledging the response the
issue elicited from dozens of commu-
nity members on both sides of the
Measure P extension, Councilwoman
Maureen Freschet weighed Measure P’s
merits and the dramatic changes in the
economy and housing demands that
have taken shape since its inception.
First approved by voters in 1991 as
Measure H, 2004’s Measure P also
required residential developments to
provide at least 10 percent of below-
market-rate units on site, and was seen
as establishing the city’s first inclu-
sionary zoning policy.
Noting she had been amenable to
extending the measure five years in
previous conversations with members
of the residents’ group, Freschet said
she felt both the effort to extend the
measure 10 years, as well as another
option councilmembers have consid-
ered to exempt areas near the city’s
train stations from the building
height limits, may impede the city’s
General Plan process. The planning
effort was initiated last year and is
expected to last through 2020.
“The General Plan revision should
be a true citizens initiative drawn on
input from every element of San
Mateo and reflect a collaborative
stakeholders concept of what San
Mateo we want to leave for future gen-
erations,” said Freschet.
Freschet said she would like to see
future discussions of what a council-
sponsored ballot measure could look
like to include conversations about
the sunset date and specific height
limits that could be implemented in
the areas considered for exemptions
from the building heights.
In a phone call after the meeting,
resident Maxine Terner, who helped
organize the original measure in
1991, said members of the citizens
group looked to future conversations
with the council to bring the commu-
nity together in working toward the
same goals. Terner said the group is
committed to getting the measure on
the ballot this year, and is open to dis-
cussing different ways to achieve that
goal.
“Our commitment is to give San
Mateo residents the opportunity to
vote on the initiative in 2018,” she
said. “We just want the democratic
process to be fulfilled.”
Several options
Before the council Monday night
forward with potential ballot measures
for the November election. Though
the citizens group obtained more than
the required 5,185 signatures — or
support from at least 10 percent of the
registered voters in San Mateo —
needed to get on the ballot, the initia-
tive has been stalled by Mason’s
determination that the group’s peti-
tion is defective because it violates a
section of the state Elections Code
requiring voter initiatives to state the
substance of the law that would be
enacted if the measure is successful.
Since council-sponsored measures
do not involve a signature-gathering
campaign, the council could have
voted to place the citizens petition on
the ballot at Monday’s meeting, but it
would have done so at significant
cost, explained Mason at the meeting.
Because elections law requires the city
hold an election between 88 days and
103 days after an election is called,
the election would have had to be held
in October at a cost of more than
$400,000 if the council had voted for
it Monday night. Councilmembers
and members of the citizens group
both voiced concern about the cost of
holding a special election in October.
But if councilmembers opt to place a
measure on the ballot at their Aug. 6
meeting, a vote could be held as part
of a consolidated election alongside
the state gubernatorial races at a much
lower cost, explained Mason in a
phone call after the meeting.
City Clerk Patrice Olds said in an
email the county Elections Office esti-
mated the cost of placing one initia-
tive with full printed text on the ballot
for the Nov. 6 election to be between
$140,000 and $168,000.  zens-driven effort. Noting the high
Still on the table for the council’s
Aug. 6 meeting is an option to place
the measure on the ballot and direct
Mason to file a declaratory relief
action with the San Mateo County
Superior Court so a judgment can be
made on whether the petition is defec-
tive. Whether or not they are able to
reach an agreement with the citizens’
group, councilmembers may also opt
to support a ballot measure aimed at
increasing the required below-market-
rate units in residential projects from
10 percent to 15 percent and authoriz-
ing the City Council to establish dif-
ferent building height, density and
intensity standards from those enacted
by Measure P within the Downtown
and the Hillsdale Station area plans.
Resident input
Councilman Joe Goethals proposed
exploring such an option in June with
the hope of developing an option that
could concentrate growth near transit
centers, an alternative that garnered
the support of resident Cliff Moon and
several others who weighed in at
Monday’s meeting. Moon was joined

by many in urging councilmembers to
lift the height limits near the city’s
train stations, which he believed
could open much-needed opportunities
for renters and low-income residents
to find an affordable place to live near
transit.
Acknowledging concerns the city’s
growth is affecting the quality of life
of residents, Moon argued the stakes
are much higher for those who don’t
have a secure place to live.
“For renters and for people on the
margins, quality of life comes down to
am I going to be able to survive the
next month?” he said.
But for resident Susan Shankle, con-
cerns about how the city’s infrastruc-
ture, schools and water supply could
keep up with the pace of development
in recent years loomed large. Shankle
said she strongly supported maintain-
ing the city’s diversity, but wasn’t
convinced the building restrictions
stood in the way of achieving that
goal and wondered what role develop-
ers have played in the growth in devel-
opments to date.
“Continued growth is unsustainable
and building taller buildings is not the
answer,” she said.
Other concerns
Councilman Eric Rodriguez voiced
concerns about putting a measure with
“carve-outs” for the building height
limits near the city’s train stations,
which could compete with the citi-
standard set for citizens initiatives to
be put on the ballot, he said coun-
cilmembers should respect their effort
and allow citizens to vote on the
measure no matter how they may feel
personally about the issue.
“I think it’s really very important to
respect our citizens right to put meas-
ures on the ballot,” he said.
Acknowledging thousands of resi-
dents have voiced support for main-
taining the city’s characteristics and
keeping the building height limits,
Goethals said he also weighs how to
ensure it is an inclusive city with a
diverse population. Goethals
expressed his disappointment the
building restrictions kept an addition-
al 50 units from being built on two
redevelopment sites in downtown San
Mateo expected to make some 164 res-
idential units available at a variety of
affordability levels, an outcome that
could prevent some 50 firefighters or
police officers from living where they
work.
“That’s something that we should
talk about,” he said. “We’re not the
same place we were in 1990.”

REPORT
Continued from page 1
tax income to cut their costs from the
California Public Employees’ Retirement
System, or CalPERS.
“While the grand jury understands the
desire on the part of cities to expand servic-
es in these times of economic growth and
increasing property tax revenues, it is diffi-
cult to think of a more important issue for
cities to focus on than the looming pension
crisis,” said the report.
Illustrating the risk posed by the retire-
ment costs, cities throughout San Mateo
County funded 70 percent of their liabili-
ties, a marginal improvement than the 68
percent funded across CalPERS, but still 10
percent shy of the industry threshold for
considering a plan’s solvency at risk.
Furthering the cause for concern is funded
percentages dropping by nearly 6 percent
over the past three fiscal years, while the 20
cities and towns comprising San Mateo
County spent $102 million on their pen-
sion plans last year, amounting to about 13
percent of their general fund spending.
Trends in the wrong direction could con-
tinue, according to the report, as uncertain-
LOCAL
“We’re not out of the woods yet in terms
of paying off the county pension plan’s unfunded
liability, but things appear to be heading in the right direction.”
— Richard Edminster, Civil Grand Jury foreperson
ty surrounding CalPERS cost projections
and fund management policies swirl. To that
end, pension costs are projected to double
by the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Driving the projected increased cost is
reduced return on investment for CalPERS,
requiring cities to ramp up their payments
to offset the difference.
The increased costs threaten the ability of
cities to maintain current service levels,
while also potentially harming bond rat-
ings and reducing the capacity to continue
offering competitive salaries to existing
workers or afford pensions for retirees,
according to the report.
Voters are unlikely to support tax meas-
ures designed to pay down pensions, accord-
ing to the report, so officials will need to be
realistic about the options available.
Officials can cut services, staff and
salaries and negotiate more favorable con-
tracts with workers, which are often difficult
or unpopular steps to take. Or officials can
craft and stick to a financial plan designed
to allocate more money toward addressing
their unfunded liabilities as soon as possi-
ble.
One recommendation found in the report
is setting aside additional tax income gener-
ated by a healthy economy in a reserve and
using that fund to reduce pension costs.
“In the current good financial times, most
of the cities have experienced rising rev-
enues and should be able to set their general
fund budgets to yield a surplus of revenues
over expenses and put the difference into a
general fund reserve to be applied in their
discretion against future unanticipated or
one-time expenses. A portion of such
reserves could be used to manage or smooth
payments to CalPERS,” according to the
report.
The report also recommended officials
look to their colleagues at the county for
guidance, as the county Board of
Supervisors and the San Mateo County
Employees’ Retirement Association, or
SamCERA, have proven particularly adept
at trimming unfunded obligations.
The county’s pension plan is 84 percent

funded, due to supervisors’ commitment to
paying more than the amount required
toward the bill. Should the board stay its
course, the county could eliminate its
unfunded liability by 2023, and in the
process save about $300 million in inter-
est.
“The County Board of Supervisors and
SamCERA have had to make hard choices in
order to provide sustainable retiree pension
plans. These have included large supple-
mental payments into the pension plan by
the county and more conservative plan
assumptions by SamCERA, ” Richard
Edminster, Civil Grand Jury foreperson,
said in a prepared statement. “We’re not out
of the woods yet in terms of paying off the
county pension plan’s unfunded liability,
but things appear to be heading in the right
direction.”
While the jury cannot direct officials to
adopt any specific policy for addressing the
issue, the report directs each city to host a
meeting with its community and develop a
plan for addressing its unfunded liabilities.
Each city in San Mateo County is requested
to respond to the report.
“Now is the time for cities to engage their
residents on the issue and with the resi-
dents’ support, take the difficult actions
necessary to secure a bright future for their
communities,” according to the report.
