The countys special district
oversight commission will ask
the Environmental Health divi-
sion to evaluate the feasibility and
possible benefits of dissolving
the embezzlement-scarred
Mosquito and Vector Control
District and taking over its duties.
Members of the Local Agency
Formation Commission, which
last year passed on dissolution out
of concerns it would jeopardize
service, agree with a civil grand
jury that a second look is warrant-
ed but Executive Director Martha
Poyatos said fresh nancial infor-
mation is needed first. Poyatos
also said Environmental Health is
more equipped than LAFCo to per-
form the evaluation.
The decision to request the study
came as the commission prepared a
formal reply to the civil grand
jurys July report that mismanage-
ment, insufcient accountability
and inadequate oversight led to the
former nance director and her
bookkeeper assistant stealing
roughly $800,000 some of
which paid for the directors legal
fees in earlier and unrelated embez-
zlement cases by giving them-
selves extra pay at a higher pay rate
and fraudulent time off, excessively
contributing to their deferred com-
pensation funds and using credit
cards for personal purchases.
The jury also criticized district
Bob Manager Bob Gay who hired
Jo Ann Dearman, also known as
Joanne Seeney, without a back-
ground or reference check and
knocked the 21-member Board of
Trustees as complicit by being too
large and out of touch.

Awoman currently employed by
the San Mateo County Transit
District has led two whistleblow-
er complaints against the public
agency claiming defamation, race
discrimination and workplace
harassment by two coworkers after
she questioned certain shipping
charges and accounting practices,
the Daily Journal has learned
through documents it requested.
After the claims were made,
SamTrans hired an independent
outside consultant, Employment
Practices Specialists, to investi-
gate the claims and found them to
have no merit after interviewing
all parties involved including the
whistleblower, a woman of Asian
descent referred to as Employee
X in the condential report.
She claims racial discrimination
since the coworkers are both
white.
Employee X, a two-year
employee with the agency and cer-
tied public accountant, rst com-
plained directly to a vendor about
an excessive shipping charge that

Students at Stanbridge Academy try out the new gymnasium that was funded in-house.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A $50,000 renovation has
brought students at Stanbridge
Academy a brand-new gymnasium
to help students with learning dif-
ferences continue to develop
strong social skills.
The school, located in San
Mateo, serves about 100 children
with mild to moderate learning
disabilities, such as dyslexia, lan-
guage processing disabilities,
ADD/ADHD and Aspergers
Syndrome, in grades K-12. The
gym now boasts new wood oors,
replacing old cement ones, bench-
es, a complete framing makeover
and a sectioned-off art area with a
kiln for pottery.
Its come a long way, said ath-
letic director Mark Kelley, adding
that this has been a project thats
been talked about for almost 14
years, the entirety of his time
teaching there. Everyone gets
physical education classes here.
The students have mild to moder-
ate learning differences and a lot of
them come with a fear of partici-
pating in physical education. By
year two, they look forward to it.
Students participate in typical
team sports to teach them social
skills. They also take nutrition
classes, he said.
The goal is to get them to see
what its like to live a healthy
lifestyle, Kelley said.
Kelley said the old gym used to
look like a dungeon and that the
new facility is a lot more practical.
He notes this is one of the biggest
aesthetic changes at the school
since he started there. Part of the
renovation included installing
professional basketball hoops,
Goalrilla basketball systems,
nearby the gym. The outdoor court
was restriped and repainted.
Four years ago, Kelley created a
basketball team and named it the
Bulldogs. Hes also started a oor
hockey team.

Girl finds stolen
cremation ashes in park
CLAIRTON, Pa A girl has found
cremation ashes that had been stolen
from a van belonging to the dead mans
son.
Robert Smith says he thinks some-
one in the crime-ridden Pittsburgh sub-
urb of Clairton mistook his fathers
ashes for a powdery drug like heroin or
cocaine. He says, You know this is a
high drug area. ... Its sad.
Smith says his father died in June at
age 75. Since then, Smith has kept his
ashes in a memorial box in the center
console of his van.
He discovered the ashes missing
shortly before 3 p.m. Monday. They
were recovered in a park about seven
hours later after a girl found them.
Police are investigating the theft.

accused of art theft.
Under his black robe, Dancu wore
blue jeans and bright blue sneakers
triple-stripe models that he said cost

apologizes for fire drill on 9/11
BOSTON Officials at Bostons

holding a fire drill, complete with
smoke and ames, on the 12th anniver-
sary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The two hijacked jets that were own
into the World Trade Center towers that
day had taken off from Logan.

Playground closed due
to chicken manure spill
MEYERSDALE, Pa. A southwest-
ern Pennsylvania borough has inde-
nitely closed a playground because of
lingering contamination from a chick-
en manure spill last month.
The (Somerset) Daily American
reports the Meyersdale borough coun-
cil voted Tuesday night to close the
Paul E. Fuller playground.
The manure spilled on a hill above
the playground Aug. 23, and water
flows onto the playground when it
rains, apparently carrying bacteria
from the manure. Borough workers
treated the area with lime, but say bac-
teria counts including salmonella
havent decreased.
Councilman Roger Miller says his
own unscientic methods have con-
rmed those ndings saying, My nose
tells me theres a problem out there.
Miller asked a borough worker about
the results of recent bacteria tests and
says he was told, You dont want to
know.
Honorary feline mayor
goes home after dog attack
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Stubbs, the
honorary feline mayor of an Alaska
town, has recovered enough from
severe injuries sustained in a dog maul-
ing to be released from the animal hos-
pital.
The 16-year-old cats owner, Lauri
Stec, drove to Wasilla to bring Stubbs
home to Talkeetna on Monday. She said
hes doing OK, but is still in a lot of
pain and on a pain patch.
Stubbs lives at Nagleys General
Store, and Stec is the manager there.
She said for at least a few days, Stubbs
will be cared for at a house connected to
the back of the store and away from the
hubbub. Hell have to be quiet for a cou-
ple months.

The spotlight will shine directly on
Redwood City when the nations top
young filmmakers compete in the first
inaugural Fresh Takes National Youth
Filmfest at the Fox Theatre Nov. 22-23.
Only open to filmmakers 22 or younger,
categories include feature, short, documen-
tary, animation, experimental and mobile.
The winner will receive $1,000. In addi-
tion, schools from the Bay Area will have
the opportunity to compete for $1,000
toward its school media arts department by
participating in the Rocketfuel 48 Hour
Film Challenge. The competition present-
ed by Dailymotion and Rocketfuel.
Fresh Takes is a nonprofit organization
that provides a positive outlet for youth
through camps and programs that teach
students digital, computer-based filmmak-
ing and editing. The Fresh Takes lab is
spearheaded by Pete Liebengood, retired
sportscaster for KRON and ESPN. He is
passionate about creativity through film-
making and broadening youths horizons.
Fresh Takes started as an afterschool pro-
gram for San Mateo County students
enrolled in media arts classes.
If I can put someone on a career path,
thats my goal, said Liebengood.
He was inspired to create this competi-
tion and fundraiser after attending a youth
film festival in Seattle.
It was such a positive event that noth-
ing but good could come out of it, he said.
This event could be like the Sundance fes-
tival for the youth right here in Redwood
City.
Liebengood has been fortunate enough
to witness the impact of the Fresh Takes
program firsthand. Sixteen-year-old Sean
Story of Everest Charter School in
Redwood City has worked with Fresh Takes
since its inception in 2010. Story is
homegrown talent who has flourished. He
researched, designed and built Fresh Takes
recording studio. He recently produced a
marketing video for the City Council, and
also created the logo for the film festival.
He is currently starting his own produc-
tion company. Story is the ideal talent
that Liebengood would like to continue
discovering within the program and future
events.
Fresh Takes participants recently pro-
duced public service announcements for
Caltrain, an anti-bullying video for the
Young Dreamer Network and an
Oktoberfest commercial for the Rotary
Club. They also create marketing videos,
online commercials and television com-
mercials for local businesses and nonprof-
its. Fresh Takes long-term goal is to
expand the young production team and
become a self-sustaining organization.
For more information about the Fresh
Takes National Filmfest go to fresh-
takes.net/event-details. The extended
deadline for submissions is Sept. 15.
Also, friends and family of filmmakers can
vote for their favorite production and help
them win the Peoples Choice category
by going to freshtakes.net/peoples-
choice.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The former assistant manager of a San
Mateo used clothing store was immediately
sentenced to 90 days in jail and probation
after pleading no contest to embezzling
more than $20,000.
Danielle Lee Jones, 26, said she took the
money from Platos Closet to cover her
rent, according to San Mateo County prose-
cutors.
Platos Closet is a chain of stores includ-
ing the San Mateo loca-
tion that buys and sells
used clothing. Between
Oct. 20, 2008, and June
12, 2010, Jones alleged-
ly created fake business
records for clothing pur-
chases that never hap-
pened. A eld operations
manager for the stores
parent company caught
the irregularity between the alleged purchas-
es and the lack of subsequent sales of the
clothing in 2010 and Jones was charged in
May.
Jones returns to court Oct. 22 for a restitu-
tion hearing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDDING Authorities have found a
body inside the perimeter of a wildre that
destroyed 30 homes and forced the evacua-
tion of 300 others in Northern California.
The burnt body of Brian Stanley Henry,
56, was found inside a motor home that
was destroyed by the fire, Shasta County
coroners Lt. Mark Lillibridge said
Wednesday.
Sheriffs deputies discovered Henrys
body late Tuesday while checking his home
in the community of Igo.
The Clover Fire broke out Monday after-
noon in the community of Happy Valley,
about 150 miles north of Sacramento, and
winds sent it spreading at 500 acres an
hour. Residents were given just minutes to
grab their belongings and leave, as the re
jumped roads and engulfed homes.
The re burned nearly 11 square miles.
Cooler weather has helped reghters con-
tain 40 percent of the blaze.
Evacuation orders remained for the 300
homes, though at least some might be lift-
ed later in the day, state re spokesman
Mike Witesman said.
Things are looking good, he said.
Thomas Texeira said he initially battled
the ames but left when the re came with-
in 200 yards of his home.
I drove through a wall of flames,
Teixeira told the Record Searchlight of
Redding about his narrow escape.
Meanwhile, the Rim Fire in and around
Yosemite National Park was 80 percent
contained, with full containment expected
Sept. 20. That blaze burned nearly 400
square miles.
Fireghters also gained ground on a wild-
re burning in a San Francisco Bay Area
wilderness park.
Containment of the Morgan Fire at
Mount Diablo State Park in Contra Costa
County increased to 70 percent overnight.
The re has burned a little less than 5 square
miles. All evacuations had been lifted, and
full containment was expected by Friday.
Officials have said the Rim Fire was
caused by a hunter. The causes of the other
two res remain under investigation.

Referendum on Bloomberg
looms in New York City election
NEWYORK The race to succeed Mayor
Michael Bloomberg is shaping up as a refer-
endum on the 12-year
legacy of the billionaire
who guided the nations
biggest city through the
aftermath of 9/11 and the
meltdown on Wall Street.
The top vote-getter in
Tuesdays Democratic pri-
mary, Public Advocate
Bill de Blasio, was the
most vocally anti-
Bloomberg of the major candidates, railing
against the mayors pro-police, pro-devel-
opment, pro-business,
pro-trickle-down poli-
tics.
On the Republican side,
Joe Lhota, a one-time
deputy mayor to Rudolph
Giuliani, handily won his
partys nomination after
tying himself closely to
many of Bloombergs
policies.
It is clear that the narrative going for-
ward is that this election is a verdict on
Bloomberg, said Jeanne Zaino, a New York
University political science professor.

Concord would authorize the state
commission that oversees full-contact
boxing, kickboxing and mixed mar-
tial arts for adults to consider adopt-
ing regulations for pankration. It
combines skills from karate and jiu-

The Senate passed it 36-0 on

The athletic commission halted
pankration competitions in July to

pation age is needed.
California Assembly
approves fracking bill
SACRAMENTO Oil and gas
drillers that use a technique known as
fracking would face new rules in
California under legislation that is
one step away from the governors
desk.
The measure includes a requirement
that drillers disclose the chemicals
they use in the process of hydraulic
fracturing, which involves injecting
water, sand and chemicals into deep
rock formations to release oil or natu-
ral gas.
Assembly lawmakers voted 47-14
Wednesday to approve the plan amid
concerns from conservation groups
over last-minute changes affecting
environmental reviews.
The legislation is expected to get a
nal vote Thursday in the state Senate.
Evan Westrup, a spokesman for Gov.
Jerry Brown, said the governor intends
to sign the measure.
Assembly passes bill to
avoid early inmate release
SACRAMENTO The state
Assembly on Wednesday approved a
compromise plan to deal with
Californias prison crisis by passing a
bill asking federal judges to extend the
deadline for releasing thousands of
inmates.
The proposal includes Gov. Jerry
Browns original plan to lease cells in
private prisons and county jails if the
court sticks to its year-end deadline for
reducing the prison population by
about 9,600 inmates.
If the judges grant the extension,
part of the $315 million that would be
spent to rent cells in private prisons
and county jails will go instead to pay
for rehabilitation programs.
Bill grants overtime
to domestic workers
SACRAMENTO Employers would
have to temporarily pay overtime to
domestic workers under a bill approved
Wednesday by the state Senate, but the
mandate would expire in a few years
unless the Legislature renews it.
Senators approved AB241 on a 22-
12 vote, sending it back to the
Assembly for a vote on amendments.
The bill was scaled back from the
version originally proposed by
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San
Francisco.
It now exempts part-time baby sit-
ters, but it requires that other domestic
workers be paid time-and-a-half if they
work more than nine hours in a day or
45 hours in a week. That requirement
expires Jan. 1, 2017, unless renewed
by the Legislature.
Bill would restore U.S.
transit funds for California
SACRAMENTO Legislation head-
ing to Gov. Jerry Brown would help
California transit agencies retain $1.6
billion in federal grants this year that
are in jeopardy because of the states
public pension reform law.
The bill responds to a nding by the
U.S. Department of Labor that the pen-
sion law violates union members col-
lective bargaining rights by forcing
them to contribute more to their retire-
ment funds.
AB1222 by Democratic
Assemblymen Roger Dickinson of
Sacramento and Richard Bloom of
Santa Monica temporarily exempts
public transit workers from contribut-
ing more to their retirement funds.
Lawmakers OK $21M for
on-the-job employee crashes
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers are
sending Gov. Jerry Brown legislation
allowing the state to pay nearly $21
million in settlements for two vehicle
crashes involving state employees
while they were on the job.
In one, a CalFire chief rear-ended a
vehicle on Interstate 210 in San
Bernardino in August 2012, killing
Gregory Kirwin. The state Department
of Justice agreed to pay $15 million to
settle a wrongful death claim led on
behalf of Kirwins children, who were
4 and 7 at the time.

NEW YORK Life in lower Manhattan
resembled any ordinary day on Wednesday
as workers rushed to their jobs in the
muggy heat, but time stood still at the
World Trade Center site while families wept
for loved ones who perished in the terror
attacks 12 years ago.
For the families, the memories of that
day are still vivid, the pain still acute.
Some who read the names of a beloved big
brother or a cherished daughter could hardly
speak through their tears.
Has it really been 12 years? Or 12 days?
Sometimes it feels the same, said Michael
Fox, speaking aloud to his brother, Jeffrey,
who perished in the south tower.
Sometimes I reach for the phone so I can
call you, and we can talk about our kids like
we used to do every day.
On the memorial plaza overlooking two
reecting pools in the imprint of the twin
towers, relatives recited the names of the
nearly 3,000 people who died when
hijacked jets crashed into the towers, the
Pentagon and in a eld near Shanksville,
Pa. They also recognized the victims of the
1993 trade center bombing.
Bells tolled to mark the planes hitting
the towers and the moments when the sky-
scrapers fell.
In Washington, President Barack Obama,
rst lady Michelle Obama, Vice President
Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden walked out to
the White Houses South Lawn for a
moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. the time
the rst plane struck the south tower in New
York. Another jetliner struck the Pentagon
at 9:37 a.m.
Our hearts still ache for the futures
snatched away, the lives that might have
been, Obama said.
Amoment of silence was also held at the
U.S. Capitol.
In New York, loved ones milled around
the memorial site, making rubbings of
names, putting owers by the names of vic-
tims and weeping, arm-in-arm. Former
Gov. George Pataki, New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie and others were in attendance. As
with last year, no politicians spoke. Mayor
Michael Bloomberg watched the ceremony
for his nal time in ofce.
Carol Eckna recalled the contagious
laugh of her son, Paul Robert Eckna, who
was killed in the north tower.
Just yesterday, you were 28, she said.
Today, you are 40. You are forever young.
Dad and I are proud to be your parents.
The anniversary arrived amid changes at
the Flight 93 National Memorial in
Shanksville, where construction started
Tuesday on a new visitor center. On
Wednesday, the families of the passengers
and crew aboard United Flight 93 recalled
their loved ones as heroes for their
unselsh and quick actions. The plane was
hijacked with the likely goal of crashing it
into the White House or Capitol, but pas-
sengers tried to overwhelm the attackers
and the plane crashed into the eld. All
aboard died.
In a period of 22 minutes, our loved
ones made history, said Gordon Felt, pres-
ident of the Families of Flight 93, whose
brother, Edward, was a passenger.

WASHINGTON Years ago, back when
computer users were dialing up the Internet,
civilian government scientists already were
expressing concerns about the National
Security Agencys role in developing glob-
al communication standards, according to
documents reviewed by the Associated
Press. The records mirror new disclosures,
based on classied les 24 years later, that
the NSA sought to deliberately weaken
Internet encryption in its effort to gather
and analyze digital intelligence.
This week, the governments National
Institute of Standards and Technology
sought to shore up condence in the impor-
tant behind-the-scenes role it plays in set-
ting standards that are used by consumers to
make purchases online, access their bank
accounts, digitally sign legal documents or
le their income taxes electronically. The
agency said it would not deliberately weak-
en a cryptographic standard and would con-
tinue to work with experts to create the
strongest possible encryption standards for
the U.S. government and industry at large.
It also noted that, under federal law, it was
required to consult with the NSAon its com-
puter standards.
Meanwhile, the Ofce of the Director of
National Intelligence said that it should
hardly be surprising that our intelligence
agencies seek ways to counteract our adver-
saries use of encryption. And that ofce
criticized recent disclosures based on
classied records revealed by NSA leaker
Edward Snowden that the NSA for years
has used computing power, legal instru-
ments and its role as adviser to NIST t o
undermine encryption technologies that
protect consumers but also could make digi-
tal surveillance more difcult for the U.S.
government.
Historical NIST records released under the
U.S. Freedom of Information Act more than
two decades ago show that tensions over
security software arose in the early 1990s
between the NSAand other scientists in the
government who had been working togeth-
er since 1989 to develop the Digital
Signature Standard, a way to electronically
sign documents and guarantee their authen-
ticity. That became a federal processing
standard by 1994 and was most recently
updated in July.
Its increasingly evident that it is dif-
cult, if not impossible, to reconcile the
concerns and requirements of NSA, NIST
and the general public using this
approach, the government experts, who
included NSA representatives, wrote in a
January 1990 memorandum.

TRIPOLI, Libya A car bomb tore
through a Libyan Foreign Ministry build-
ing in the eastern city of Benghazi on
Wednesday, a powerful reminder of lawless-
ness in the North African nation on the
anniversary of a deadly attack on the U.S.
consulate there as well as the 2001 terror
attacks in the United States.
Prime Minister Ali Zidan issued a stern
warning to militias blamed for much of the
violence that has plagued Libya since the
overthrow of dictator Moammar Gadhafi
two years ago, proclaiming that we will
not bow to anyone.
But the challenges are mounting. The
prime minister said that armed men had
just stormed a post office in the capital,
Tripoli, taking employees hostage. Awit-
ness at the scene, speaking on condition
of anonymity because of security con-
cerns, told the Associated Press that the
attackers were seeking to cut off mail to
the southern city of Sabha in retaliation
for a rival tribe from Sabha cutting off the
water supply to Tripoli for a week, forcing
hospitals and homes to rely on wells and
large tanks.
Other groups have shut down oil fields to
protest corruption or demand regional
autonomy, causing the country to lose out
on millions of dollars a day in potential
revenue.
The Benghazi blast caused no deaths or
serious injuries, but destroyed the Foreign
Ministry branch building in an attack rich
in symbolism. The building once housed
the U.S. Consulate under the rule of King
Idris, who was overthrown in 1969 in a
bloodless coup led by Gadhafi.
The bombing took place about 6 a.m.,
well before anybody was due to arrive at the
Foreign Ministry for work and at a time
when the nearby streets were nearly empty.
The explosion blew out a side wall of the
building, leaving desks, filing cabinets
and computers strewn across the concrete
rubble. It also damaged the Benghazi
branch of the Libyan Central Bank.
Pictures circulated on Facebook showed
men carrying dead doves, with one person
commenting that the dog who did this will
be punished for the guilt of killing doves.
Another photo shows black smoke smol-
dering out of the charred Foreign Ministry
building, along with wrecked cars and
burned palm trees. A green tarp was later
placed over part of the building.
The blast also rocked Benghazis main
boulevard, Gamal Abdel-Nasser, which runs
through the city from north to south.
Several pedestrians were slightly wounded.
Mohammed el-Ubaidi, head of the
Foreign Ministry branch in Benghazi, told
Libyan television that the car carried 60
kilograms (132 pounds) of explosives and
was blown up by remote control.
Bomb hits Libyas Benghazi on attack anniversary
By Edith M. Lederer
UNITED NATIONS Key international
players were moving on two diplomatic
fronts Wednesday to try to put Syrias chem-
ical weapons under international control,
and a fresh effort appeared to be underway to
get the government and opposition to peace
talks.
The ve veto-wielding members of the
Security Council, who have been deeply
divided over Syria, met late Wednesday to
discuss what to include in a new resolution
requiring that Syrias chemical weapons
stockpile be secured and dismantled. They
later left Russias U.N. mission without
commenting.
At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov were heading to Geneva with
teams of experts for broader-ranging talks
Thursday about the nuts and bolts of putting
Syrias chemical weapons under interna-
tional control and destroying them, diplo-
mats said.
The U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria,
Lakhdar Brahimi, was also heading to
Geneva to be available to meet Kerry and
Lavrov, whose efforts to start peace talks to
end the 2 1/2-year Syrian conict have been
stymied by a government offensive and a
deadly suspected poison gas attack on Aug.
21.
The diplomatic urry follows the threat of
U.S. strikes against President Bashar
Assads regime and a surprise offer from
Kerry that Syria could avert U.S. military
action by turning over every single bit of
his chemical weapons to international
control within a week. Russia, Syrias most
important ally, and Assads government
quickly agreed on the broad proposal, but
details still need to be worked out.
Asenior U.N. diplomat, speaking on con-
dition of anonymity because contacts have
been private, said Thursdays meeting
between Kerry and Lavrov will be an
exploratory session to gauge whether they
can embark on the herculean task of dis-
mantling Syrias chemical weapons while
the country is at war.
While serious differences have already
emerged especially on whether a U.N.
resolution should be militarily enforceable
as the U.S. and its Western allies are
demanding the diplomatic moves repre-
sent the first major effort in more than a
year to try to get supporters of the Syrian
government and opposition on the same
page.

Suicide bombs hit Egypt
military in Sinai, kill nine
EL-ARISH, Egypt In near-simultaneous
attacks, a pair of suicide bombers rammed
their explosives-laden cars into military
targets in Egypts volatile Sinai Peninsula
on Wednesday, killing at least nine soldiers
and nudging the conict there closer to a
full-blown insurgency.
The bombings in the town of Rafah on the
border with the Gaza Strip appear to be a
deadly response by insurgents to a military
crackdown on their north Sinai hideouts
that has reportedly left over three dozen
dead.
Suicide attacks are a new element in the
wave of political violence triggered initial-
ly by the ouster of Egypts Islamist
President Mohammed Morsi on July 3, and
intensied by a violent crackdown on his
supporters protest camps. They suggest
that al-Qaida-inspired groups may be devel-
oping a new capability to strike at security
and other targets, both in Sinai and else-
where in Egypt.
One of the two bombings in the town of
Rafah brought down a two-story building
housing the local branch of military intelli-
gence. It collapsed the entire structure, two
security officials said, speaking anony-
mously because they were not authorized to
talk to the media.
Institute: North Korea
nuke reactor likely restarting
WASHINGTON Arecent satellite image
appears to show North Korea is restarting a
plutonium reactor, in a move that could
raise renewed international alarm over its
nuclear weapons program, a U.S. research
institute said Wednesday.
The 5 megawatt reactor at the Nyongbyon
nuclear facility was shuttered in 2007 under
the terms of a disarmament agreement.
Pyongyang announced plans in April to
restart it amid a litany of threats toward the
U.S. and South Korea after it faced tougher
international censure over its latest nuclear
and rocket tests.
North Korea has since toned down its
rhetoric and stepped up diplomacy with
rival South Korea, but Wednesdays nding
by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns
Hopkins School of Advanced International
Studies is a sign that the regime of Kim
Jong Un is pressing ahead with its nuclear
program.

OPINION 9
Letter to the editor
Riverside Press-Enterprise
T
he opening, at last, of the new
stretch of the Bay Bridge does not
end the questions that surround that
troubled project. The Legislature still needs
to nd out why bridge construction took so
long, ended up so far over budget and yet
still faces safety questions. And legislators
need to ensure that the state can avoid a
repeat performance on other big infrastruc-
ture projects.
The new eastern Bay Bridge span opened
last week, more than two decades after the
1989 earthquake that prompted the bridge
work. The state initially planned a big pub-
lic celebration with huge crowds and re-
works, but opted for a low-key opening
instead. That was the right choice, given
the projects history of cost overruns,
years of delays and embarrassing failures of
oversight. Only a temporary x to con-
struction defects, for example, allowed the
new span to open at all last week.
The fact that trafc now ows across the
new span does not relieve legislators of the
responsibility to nd out what happened
and prevent a recurrence. Californians need
to know why a project Caltrans estimated
in 1997 would cost $1.3 billion ballooned
to $6.4 billion nearly ve times the
original gure. While Bay Area motorists
will cover much of that cost through higher
bridge tolls, state taxpayers are also pay-
ing part of the bill.
Legislators should also investigate why a
project that started as a safety upgrade
ended up plagued by questions about its
own reliability. News stories over the past
few months revealed a series of safety
issues with the new span. Some of the large
steel seismic safety bolts broke when
workers tightened them in March, raising
concerns about the more than 1,200 bolts
in the structure. Stories in the Sacramento
Bee in May reported that some of the steel
tendons crucial to the spans structural
integrity had corroded, and that welds in
the main bridge tower were faulty.
Even more bafing were the management
decisions behind those aws: Caltrans
workers, for example, installed bolts the
agencys own design manual forbids for use
in bridges. Workers did not promptly seal
off the tendons to prevent corrosion, as
Caltrans rules demand. The agency also
gave incomplete and misleading informa-
tion to an outside reviewer studying the
corrosion issue.
The bridge debacle raises concerns about
other big state projects, such as the states
already dubious $68.4 billion high-speed
rail project and a $25 billion plan to
reroute water exports and improve the eco-
logically troubled Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta. If the state cannot manage some-
thing as straightforward as bridge construc-
tion, what will happen on those projects,
which are far more ambitious and risky
undertakings?
The Legislature cannot change the dismal
record of the Bay Bridge project. But legis-
lators can take steps to help ensure that
future public projects are not likewise hob-
bled by carelessness and mismanagement.
Slow high-speed rail
through the Peninsula
Editor,
Now I am confused. Our governor signed
a new law to prevent our tax dollars from
being diverted to a possible four-track
high-speed railway option in the future
(Brown signs high-speed rail bill in the
Sept. 7 edition of the Daily Journal).
So, we are ponying up billions of dollars
for a high-speed railway system, we will be
on the hook for another untold amount of
money just because this thing is going to
bomb big time but then, we are choking
this dodo to death already because we are
not allowing this to run on separate high-
speed tracks so it does not mix up with
slower train trafc.
We all know what happens when you do
that. Do we? Why would we run a slow
high-speed rail system from San Francisco
to the other side of San Jose? Is that so
travelers can watch the scenic view or is it
because we just want to pull these slow
tracks in the most expensive real estate in
North America so we can screw with peo-
ples property values, get some additional
dangerous railway crossings to kill some
more people or is it so politicians can ght
to get their name on the terminal in San
Francisco?
If there is no difference in transit time
using the Caltrains versus the high-speed
rail, why do we want to spend the money?
Am I the only one that is confused?

The Times, Gainesville, Ga.
T
welve years ago yesterday, we were
suddenly and stunningly jolted
from our naive notion that the
world was a much safer place than we had
led ourselves to believe.
The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
took 3,000 lives and impacted millions
more by jerking the blinders off our heads.
So America saddled up, went to war in the
Middle East, and eventually earned some
measure of justice by taking down many al-
Qaida leaders and sending the Taliban run-
ning into the hills.
Yet a dozen years later, the Middle East
looks no more stable nor peaceful than it
was in 2001. That leads many to wonder
what U.S. policy should be in the region.
Its a debate without a clear right or a left,
nor easy answers, as the nation considers
taking action in yet another turbulent
locale, Syria.
The 9/11 attacks directly led to the U.S.
military action in Afghanistan. That war
has cost 2,200 American lives with success
hard to measure, though the No. 2 U.S.
commander there, Army Lt. Gen. Mark
Milley, said last week he believes victory
still can be won before forces withdraw at
the end of 2014.
The terror attacks also indirectly led to
the U.S. invasion of Iraq a year later, based
on the belief Saddam Husseins regime had
supported the terrorists and amassed
destructive weapons. Our nation committed
more than 4,400 lives and billions of dol-
lars in a divisive engagement that many
still believe was a mistake.
Now civil war in Syria pits Bashar
Assads government against revolutionar-
ies seeking to add that country to the Arab
Spring list of toppled dictators that includ-
ed Libyas Gadha and Egypts Mubarak.
His armed forces apparent use of chemical
weapons in a recent battle has the Obama
administration seeking targeted, limited
airstrikes against some of his military
sites.
If we learned anything from these messy
Mideast uprisings its that removing one
group of bad actors doesnt lead to peace,
stability and democracy usually just to a
different group of equally bad actors who
impose their own brand of oppressive rule
and political retribution.
Mideast peace still elusive

Foundations
of learning
I
see London, I see France, I see ... well,
you get the idea. In Arkansas, however,
delicate unmentionables of both gen-
ders are more than just an idea. Thanks to a
newly declared dress code in the Little Rock
School District, undergarments in all their
shapes and sizes are now a mandate.
Specically the Aug. 29 letter sent out to
all employees requires that Foundational
garments shall be worn and not visible with
respect to color, style and/or fabric ... No
see-through or sheer
clothing shall be
allowed, and no skin
shall be visible
between
pants/trousers, skirts
and shirts/blouses at
any time.
Think anybody in
this era even knows
what the archaic term
foundational garment
even means?
The new rules dont kick in until fall 2014
so staff will have a full year to go commando
before settling into boring workplace-
appropriate attire. Guess they were never
taught the lesson that it is better to leave a
little something to the imagination. Then
again, Arkansas is the birth place of former
President Bill Clinton, of boxers or briefs
infamy, so oversharing must be a communi-
ty trait.
File this dress code under: Did they really
have to tell teachers not to give students an
inadvertent anatomy lesson? Apparently, the
answer is yes. The proliferation of mufn
tops, plumbers cracks and overall slovenli-
ness reveals that nationwide the concepts of
appropriate and good taste need clarica-
tion. Why should Little Rock be immune?
Not quite sure if something specic pushed
the district to get their you-know-what in a
bunch over worker fashion but the code
doesnt just stop with what should lie
beneath. The new rules also ban clothes
showcasing slogans for beer, alcohol, drugs,
gangs or sex along with raggedy cut-off
jeans, halter tops, backless dresses and
spaghetti straps without at least two layers.
Bye-bye ip-ops and jogging suits; try to
cover up tattoos when possible. Also, no
spandex although not quite sure if this
extends to Spanx after all werent foun-
dational garments encouraged? If the code
stops jeggings on anybody, anywhere, how-
ever, the ban is worth the ak the teachers
union is doling out. Guess the brass wants to
make sure teachers can still wear their spring
break souvenir T-shirts and Daisy Dukes
year-round.
The district, on the other hand, is proba-
bly just busy covering its buns over poten-
tial lawsuits or whiffs of impropriety. Mary
Kay Letourneau, as far as its known, never
raised suspicion with her outt choices but
one never wants to give the impression they
are encouraging impressionable young
minds to be hot for teacher.
On the plus side, tennis and open-toed
shoes are still acceptable as is dress casual
shorts, and male teachers can leave the
shirts and ties at home. The code also appar-
ently doesnt include that traditional test of
skirt length a hem past the extension of
ones longest nger although it might
give students a chuckle to see their teachers
lined up in front of the principal for inspec-
tion prior to class.
Teachers and others in most professional
industries (short of maybe software startups
and those who work from home) shouldnt
need a refresher course on what not to wear.
Bottom line, though, they obviously do.
They should also learn that unlike whatever
inappropriate style theyre embracing in the
classroom, the overall impression they
leave is a lot more than a ash in the pan.

Investors decided the risk of a con-
ict with Syria is shrinking and sent
stock prices higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 135.54 points, or 0.9 percent, to
15,326.60 on Wednesday. A bi g
decline in Apple and other technology
companies held back the Standard &
Poors 500 index and the Nasdaq com-
posite. The S&P 500 managed a small
gain, its seventh in a row.
U.S. and Russian diplomats are
working on a plan that would lead to
Syria giving up chemical weapons that
President Barack Obama says were used
against civilians. Obama said the U.S.
will explore a possible diplomatic
solution, though the U.S. military
remains ready to attack.
After a tough August, stocks have
been rising in September. The S&P
500 is up 3.4 percent so far this
month. Since September began, a U.S.
strike on Syria has gone from seeming
imminent to being something that
may or may not ever happen.
The risk that a confrontation with
Syria could spread means most
investors would be happy if the U.S.
doesnt act, said Cam Albright, direc-
tor of asset allocation at Wilmington
Trust Investment Advisors. Markets
are much more happy when they dont
have to deal with that particular risk,
he said.
The S&P 500 edged up 5.14 points,
or 0.3 percent, to 1,689.13. The
Nasdaq composite fell 4.01 points, or
0.1 percent, to 3,725.01.
Disappointment over Apples new
iPhone lineup dragged down tech
stocks. The two S&P 500 stocks with
the biggest declines were Apple and
the chip supplier Qualcomm, which
makes the radio chip used in previous
iPhones and is expected to make the
chip used in the new iPhones, too.
Apples new iPhones struck many as
only a modest advance from previous
models. Investors fretted that Apple is
offering the phones new operating
system for free to people who already
own older iPhones, removing an
incentive to buy the new model. Also,
some analysts felt that Apples lowest-
priced iPhone $549 without a two-
year cell phone contract isnt cheap
enough to win many buyers in emerg-
ing markets.
There was a broad expectation that
Apple would cut prices more and go for
bigger market share, said Wayne Lam,
an analyst for IHS iSuppli, which
tracks components used in electronics.
Instead, they stuck with their business
model of avoiding cheap versions of
its products.
Its a proven business model, and
good for them, but I think the expecta-
tion is that Apple is losing market
share and theyre not innovating, he
said.
Apple fell $26.93, or 5.4 percent, at
$467.71. Apple stock fell on Tuesday,
too, after rising 11 percent in the
month leading up to the announce-
ment.
Qualcomm fell $2, or 2.9 percent, to
$68.09. Apple makes up some 15 per-
cent of Qualcomm revenue, Lam esti-
mates. Supplier Cirrus Logic Inc. fell
$1.20, or 5.2 percent, to $21.89.
Utilities and tech were the only two
industry sectors in the S&P 500 that
fell. The other eight rose, led by ener-
gy stocks.

As many as nine in 10 Texans buying
health insurance on the new federally run
exchange will get a break on costs, accord-
ing to federal health ofcials. Steve and
Maegan Wolf wont be among them.
The Wolfs, who live in an upscale area
outside Austin, make too much money to
qualify for tax credits that will help other
people afford coverage. That leaves them
wondering how much theyll wind up pay-
ing.
Steve Wolf, 50, coordinates stunts and
special effects for feature films and TV
shows. Last year, he helped the Discovery
Channel blow up scale replicas of the
Hindenburg. He owns Stunt Ranch, where
schoolchildren come to learn about the sci-
ence and math of movie stunts.
His wife, 34, is a full-time mom who
spends many hours each week getting their
three boys, 16-year-old Clayton, 12-year-
old Paxton and 8-year-old Dashton, to
school, swim lessons, speech therapy and
math tutoring appointments.
Like many who run family businesses,
the Wolfs annual income varies, but its
typically $115,000 to $140,000. That
means they make too much to be eligible
for the tax credits that will help some
Americans pay for health insurance under
the Affordable Care Act. They also worry
that changes in coverage required by the law
will mean their premiums will increase.
That includes setting minimum coverage
requirements for insurance companies that
go well beyond what many offer now and
prohibiting insurers from banning those
with pre-existing medical conditions.
The Wolfs have purchased their familys
health insurance on the individual market
for about 12 years, during which time their
premiums have risen steadily.
They now pay about $650 a month for
insurance. And while their general health is
excellent, each of them has had their share
of medical expenses. Their policy has a
$5,000 annual deductible for each adult,
meaning the Wolfs in many years have had
to pay $10,000 out of pocket toward med-
ical bills on top of the $25 copays for doc-
tor visits and $20 copays for covered gener-
ic medicine.
Next to their mortgage ($2,300 a month
with property taxes), their health insurance
is one of their biggest expenses. Private
school for two of the three boys adds nearly
$3,000 per month.
Middle class family braces for higher premiums
USDA to let Hawaii ship avocados to mainland U.S.
HONOLULU Guacamole connoisseurs around the U.S.
will soon have a new domestic avocado to try not from
California or Florida, but Hawaii.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is changing its rules
for Hawaii growers to allow them to ship Sharwil avocados
to 32 mainland U.S. states between November and March.
According to a USDArule scheduled to be published in the
Federal Register on Thursday, the shipments will help give
shoppers an option to buy domestic avocados during win-
ter months, when most grocery stores stock avocados from
Mexico instead.
Bill would expand ban on requesting passwords
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers are sending Gov. Jerry
Brown legislation that would expand Californias prohi-
bition against employers asking job candidates or
employees for access to their social media accounts.
The Senate approved AB25 by Democratic
Assemblywoman Nora Campos of San Jose 32-1 on
Wednesday.
Her bill would add public employers to the list of those
barred from asking potential employees for their
Facebook, Twitter or other passwords. It expands on her
legislation from last year, which Brown signed into law.
Pandora names ex-aQuantive
head McAndrews as CEO
LOS ANGELES Setting its sights on accelerating
growth in advertising revenue, Internet radio giant
Pandora on Wednesday named the former head of digital
advertising company aQuantive, Brian McAndrews, as its
new chief executive.
The 54-year-old is tasked with speeding up the already
rapid revenue growth at Pandora as it struggles to cover
rising royalty payments to artists.
McAndrews said in an interview Wednesday it was too
early to get into specics, but that ad growth will be a
focus.

DID RAIDERS SOLVE QB PUZZLE?: DESPITE BRINGING IN HIGH-PRICED FREE AGENT, JOB APPEARS TO BE PRYORS TO LOSE >> PAGE 13
By Stephen Hawkins
Texas Rangers third base coach Gary
Pettis still has vivid memories of that day
12 years ago, when two hijacked jets were
own into the World Trade Center towers.
Back then, Pettis was a coach for the
Chicago White Sox, who had arrived in
town only a few hours earlier for a scheduled
game that night against the New York
Yankees.
You could smell the smoke. It wasnt a
good feeling that day, Pettis said
Wednesday before a home game against the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Its so sad that so many
people lost their lives, and its ruined other
peoples lives. ... Its like it was a movie,
its like that wasnt something that actually
happened. I still cant believe it.
What he does believe is the importance
for Major League Baseball and all
Americans to take a moment to remember
Sept. 11.

Step one of Phase 2 is in the books. And
for the most part, College of San Mateo
head football coach Bret Pollack is pleased
with the results.
Following a 41-27 drilling of Laney
College last Saturday in the season opener,
the CSM coaching head went to the tape and
found the Bulldogs next step in maturation
and Pollack said the message has been
relayed and received.
Good enough for Game 1. Not good
enough for Game 2. I wasnt really happy
with the way the team nished the game,
Pollack said. With three minutes left in the
third quarter, we just turned off the gas. It
wasnt acceptable to me. And then again,
its a teachable moment for the guys to see
that you have to play a full game. You cant
turn it off and expect youre going to turn it
right back on. It doesnt work that way. So,
finishing a game as a team is one our
biggest emphasis this week nish the
darn game. I dont think we did a good job at
that.
Pollack pointed to the 3:18 mark with
Quincy Nelson caught a 26-yard pass from
Casey Wichman to make it 41-14. From
there, Laney reeled off the next 13 points
and CSM gave up 117 yards of offense in the
fourth quarter alone.
There were a lot of things that were slop-
py and not acceptable. So, we spoke about
that on Monday. Thats the main thing I got
out of that game.
I think a lot of it was, youre up 41-14
and youre expecting the other team to just
roll over because thats the way it was in
high school, Pollack said. Or even more
scary, thats what they (Pollacks players)
would do. Which scares me. And thats why
I had that conversation with them. The only
reason you think they would (roll over) is
because you would if you were in the same
position. We talked about that. That was the
biggest takeaway of the game how we
nished.
Up until that moment, CSM overwhelmed
Laney. Casey Wichman, starting his rst
game at quarterback for the Bulldogs, led an
efcient offense. The CSM offense rushed
for 317 yards, fueled by the play of former
El Camino Colt DJ Peluso (11 rushes, 159
yards).
There are always some pleasant surpris-
es, Pollack said. He got out in space well.
CSM prepares to
take next step
Finishing a game as a team
is one our biggest emphasis
this week nish the darn
game. I dont think we did a good
job at that (against Laney).

SANTA CLARA They engage
each other in bitter verbal back and
forth from their respective posts
separated by some 800 miles of the
Pacic Coast.
They claim each others waiver
leftovers not always, it seems,
for a competitive advantage but
rather in acts of gamesmanship.
The men in charge, Pete Carroll
and Jim Harbaugh, have been erce
rivals dating to their college coach-
ing days when they were trading
words and wins in the Pac-10.
Here we go again, its 49ers-
Seahawks Part I this week.
You go out and make plays, the
chirping stops, 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick said Wednesday.
Everybody involved knows the
NFC West will likely come down to
these two nemeses when this sea-
sons all said and done, with a pair
of dynamic young quarterbacks lead-
ing the way. The 49ers have cap-
tured the last two division titles,
after Seattle won in 2010 with a los-
ing record.
The QBs apparently have a friend-
ly wager on this one, too. The loser
must shave his eyebrow.
Not that Kaepernick would con-
rm his on-air bet with Russell
Wilson, being hyped through EA
SPORTS Madden NFL25 game.
Im going to let you ask Russell
about that one, Kaepernick said.
Not my idea.
Its true: 49ers, Seahawks dont like each other
N
o coach worth his or her salt will
ever be satised with a moral
victory, simply because the very
nature of moral victories means you have
lost the game and no coach enjoys losing.
Sometimes, however, those silver lin-
ings can help take some of the sting from
a bad defeat.
I got a chance to
talk with Menlo
School football
coach Mark Newton
about his teams 84-
49 loss to San
Angelo Central High
in Texas last weekend
and, despite getting
hammered by one of
the best teams hes
ever coached against,
he and the Knights
did take some solace
in knowing they forced the Bobcats to
play to the very end.
Our guys fought so hard. It was really
impressive, Newton said. Theyre com-
petitors. They were ghting to the very
last second. They never gave up.
That, however, was not the moral victo-
ry. No, that honor belongs to the fact the
Knights offense forced the San Angelo
coaches to put their starters back in the
game as Menlo kept coming at the
Bobcats.

Girls golf
The Aragon girls golf team has picked up
four PALwins over the last two days to remain
undefeated in Bay Division play with a perfect
mark of 6-0.
On the heels of Tuesdays wins over Menlo-
Atherton and South City, the Dons picked up
two more victories with a crucial win over San
Mateo, as well as Sequoia.
The Dons red a 218 at Poplar Creek Golf
Course, bettering the Bearcats score of 223.
Sequoia nished at 393.
Aragons Lisa Fang, along with San
Mateos Aman Sangha and Lisa Sasaki, all n-
ished with even-par 36s to tie for medalist
honors.
Thats never happened in the PAL (to have
three players shot even par and nish as
medalists), said Aragon coach Guy Oling. It
shows how the league has improved. Those
three had the top averages last season.
The difference for the Dons was having
Valerie Chen and Tessa Ulrich, who both red
rounds in the 40s. Chen nished with a 40 and
Ulrich was right behind her with a 41.
San Mateo, on the other hand, had only one
other golfer shoot in the 40s, with Caroline
Wong nishing with a 47.
Fang shot a 1-over 37 Tuesday to lead the
Aragon girls golf team to wins over Menlo-
Atherton and South City Tuesday afternoon.
Aragon nished with 217, while Menlo-
Atherton nished at 232. South City, in its
rst season elding a team, nished with a
366.
In West Catholic Athletic League action,
Presentation held off Notre Dame-Belmont,
223-226, also at Poplar Creek Tuesday.
Water polo
The Sequoia boys water polo team
improved its Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division record to 2-0 with a 15-9 win over
Aragon Wednesday afternoon.
Sequoia led 3-2 after one period, but
outscored the Dons 3-0 in the second period to
hold a 6-2 lead at halftime. The Cherokees
extended their lead in the third period, outscor-
ing Aragon 7-4 to lead 13-6 going into the
nal period.
Aragon outscored Sequoia 3-2 over the nal
eight minutes.
George Archbold and Robert Vogel led the
attack for the Cherokees, with each scoring
four goals. Eric Bittner added three while
Conor Carroll chipped in with a pair.
Grifn Tietz paced Aragon with four goals,
with Lucas Eveslage adding a trio of scores.
The Menlo School girls improved their
record to 2-0 in Ocean Division play with a
12-7 win over Mercy-Burlingame.
The Woodside boys and girls squads swept
past Capuchino in an Ocean Division meeting
Tuesday afternoon. The Lady Wildcats cruised
to an 18-4 victory, while the Woodside boys
were hardly pushed in a 17-1 win over the
Mustangs.
The Woodside girls got off to a slow start,
leading just 1-0 after one period. But the
Wildcats exploded for 17 goals over the nal
three periods to improve their record to 2-0.
The Woodside boys jumped on their oppo-
nent early, scoring six goals in the rst period
and leading 11-0 at halftime.
Girls tennis
Burlingame fell to 0-2 early in the season,
playing two of the toughest squads in
Northern California.
After dropping an 8-1 decision to Monta
Vista Tuesday, the Panthers fell 6-1 to host
Menlo School, another Nor Cal power.
Burlingames lone win came at No. 1 dou-
bles where Lisa Patel and Haley Shaffer, after
dropping the rst set 6-3, won 12 of the next
13 games to win sets two and three 6-3, 6-1.
Burlingames No. 1 singles player Alex
Harrigan had another disappointing loss, but
the tough tests early should bode well for
Harrigan down the line.
She went to three sets with Menlos Liz Yao.
Harrigan took the rst set 6-4, but Yao
rebounded to win the second 6-3 before pre-
vailing 10-7 in a super tiebreaker that served
as the third set.
SAN FRANCISCO Marco Scutaro was
scheduled to get a day off on Wednesday.
Fortunately for the San Francisco Giants, he
managed to talk his way into the lineup.
Scutaro and Brandon Belt hit consecutive
RBI singles in the eighth inning to rally San
Francisco to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado
Rockies.
Marco made it pretty
easy for me, Belt said. He
did the hard part. He looks
for his pitch and wont
swing until he gets it.
The Giants loaded the
bases with one out against
Matt Belisle (5-7), and
Scutaro followed with a
tying single into right
eld. Belts hit drove in Angel Pagan and gave
San Francisco a 4-3 lead.
Scutaro also doubled and drew a walk.
Thats what you love about him, manager
Bruce Bochy said. He wants to play and does-
nt like days off. He was adamant about play-
ing.
Guillermo Moscoso (2-2) pitched two score-
less innings for the victory, securing the rst
winning homestand for the Giants since May
20-26. Santiago Casilla nished for his second
save.
Moscoso has pitched two scoreless innings
in each of his last three outings, but this was
his rst appearance since Sept. 2 at San Diego
Im able to handle my routine out of the
bullpen, he said. Its about staying consis-
tent.
Nolan Arenado had two hits and two RBIs for
the Rockies, who have lost ve of six. Michael
Cuddyer added three hits and went 7 for 13 in the
series.
Weve played a lot of close games, Rockies
manager Walt Weiss said. Every time we come
here, its a war. It seems like every game here is
like this. Sometimes youre going to lose close
games.
Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence each drove
in a run for San Francisco, which has won three
of four.
Giants right-hander Yusmeiro Petit struck out
seven in 5 2-3 innings in his rst start since he
almost threw a perfect game against Arizona
before settling for a one-hitter. He gave up
three runs and six hits with two walks.
The Rockies came out singing and got their
timing against me in the later innings, Petit
said. Ive seen our club come back so I just
wanted to keep it close.
Petit retired his rst 11 batters before walk-
ing Corey Dickerson in the fourth. Dickerson
raced over to third on Cuddyers base hit and
scored on Arenados single, tying it at 1.
Colorado added two more in the sixth on RBI
singles by Arenado and Charlie Culberson,
making it 3-1.
Rockies starter Juan Nicasio was in line for
the win before San Francisco rallied. He held
the Giants to one run and ve hits in ve
innings.
The Giants left the bases loaded twice, once
with two outs in the second and once with one
out in the fth.
San Francisco pulled within one in the sev-
enth, taking advantage of a bout of wildness
from Josh Outman. The lefty walked the bases
loaded with no outs, and Pence hit a sacrice y
against Adam Ottavino.
The Giants had a chance for more, but
Sandoval and Hector Sanchez grounded out to
end the inning.
NOTES: Giants LHP Jeremy Affeldt will be
reinstated from the disabled list in time for
Thursdays game in Los Angeles. ... RHP Matt
Cain (8-9, 4.37 ERA) will start for the Giants in
the series opener against the Dodgers on
Thursday. Hes 5-1 against them in his last 12
starts.

ALAMEDA Even as a backup, Oakland
Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor would
write notes to wide receivers and leave them
in their lockers after seeing something on
video he thought might help.
The former Ohio State standout studied the
NFLs best quarterbacks and tried to learn
something from each of
them Tom Bradys bal-
ance and one-step drop,
Robert Grifn IIIs arm
angles and Colin
Kaepernicks ball fakes.
And he would watch his
own team from the side-
line and try to stay
involved in the game.
Then hed watch replays on his own time to
gure out what hed do if he was the starter.
The 24-year-old quarterback is finally
comfortable enough to talk about his expe-
riences publicly with the same strut and
swagger he has always walked around the
Raiders facility with. And for the rst time,
Pryor can nally take everything hes done
since Al Davis picked him in the third round
of the 2011 supplemental draft the late
owners last pick and put it to use as a
leader on the eld.
Pryor progressed enough during the pre-
season to start over Matt Flynn. He showed
enough promise in a 21-17 loss at
Indianapolis in Week 1 to keep the job
heading into Oaklands home opener
against Jacksonville (0-1) on Sunday. And
Pryor ready to make first home start for Raiders
Newton said when San Angelo went up 63-
43 midway through the third quarter, it start-
ed to mix and match their starters and back-
ups. The Knights responded by driving
straight down the eld and scoring. The
Bobcats staff responded by putting all their
starters back in the game.
It was a little bit of a victory they put
their starters back in, Newton said.
The Bobcats starting offense went on to
put 21 more points on the scoreboard, but
San Angelo knew the Knights were never
going to roll over and give up.
And despite giving up 84 points, Newton
knows that Bobcats squad has the potential
to be a great football team.
There arent more than ve teams in the
entire Bay Area that can beat San Angelo
Central, Newton said. Were playing some
great teams this year and were not going to
see an offensive line that is that good.
Theyre saying this is the best team
theyve had in 20 years.

As the 2013-14 high school sports sea-
son gets underway, a common question I get
is: how long have you been with the Daily
Journal?
As Ive said in the past, my work year is
a bit different than a regular calendar year.
My year doesnt start until late August and
wraps up following the state track meet in
June. In that regard, Im entering my 13th
season covering high school sports on the
Peninsula.
Ive also often said as long as I continue
to hang out with kids at the various sport-
ing events I cover, Ill remain young at
heart.
But there is always that one instance to
remind you that youre getting old. Ive had
my fair share over the years, but it slapped
me in the face as I walked into the Aragon
gym to cover the Dons volleyball match
with Santa Teresa Tuesday evening.
Maxpreps.com indicated longtime coach
Annette Gennaro-Trimble had been replaced
by Lance Ichikawa. But when I approached
the Aragon coaching staff to get a roster for
the match, I realized Ichikawa was not the
coach, but rather Kelsey Stiles a 2005
Aragon graduate and a player I covered when
she was in high school.
I know Im getting old when athletes I
covered during their high school careers are
now entering the high school coaching
ranks.
***
Last week, it was Aragon football coach
Steve Sell earning his 100th career victory.
In about a month, another Peninsula
Athletic League institution will reach a
milestone.
John Mylod, sports director for KCEA
89.1 FM as well as play-by-play and color
commentator for the stations weekly live
football and basketball broadcasts, is
embarking on his 17th season covering the
PAL. The stations 2013 football broadcast
schedule kicks off Friday when Gunn travels
to Carlmont (pregame at 6:45 p.m., kickoff
at 7 p.m.).
Oct. 11 in Pacica, however, will be the
landmark date as KCEApresents the
Sequoia-Terra Nova game for the stations
500th broadcast.
I think people like it when we show up
(to broadcast games). I think the coaches
like it. They like the little bit of publicity
they get, Mylod told the Sports Lounge
about a year ago. In the last 13 years,
weve never missed a scheduled game. I
am proud of that.
In addition, the weekly Inside the P.A.L.
is back for its 17th season, making it the
longest-running Bay Area high school
sports show.

Ran well. Ran hard and physically and they had a hard time
tackling him out there. I felt like Laney, over in the second
quarter, got a little tired, a little sloppy with their tackling
which made it even harder for them to bring him down.
Thats all that was him making plays on the perimeter.
Defensively, the Bulldogs forced six turnovers (nishing
-plus-2 in the turnover margin battle). The game also served
as a coming out party for Mister Cotton, who recorded
seven solo tackles from the safety position to lead the
team.
The defense did a great job of taking the ball away and
creating turnovers which is good, Pollack said. If youre
defense is taking them away, its a good sign. So, thats
encouraging. Six is a high number.
But now things change with Chabot College a famil-
iar CSM foe waiting for the Bulldogs on Saturday.
We have such a long history with Chabot, Pollack said.
Theres nothing schematically theyre going to do thats
going to surprise us. Now its just putting our pieces in the
right spot and making plays. We know theyre pieces, they
know our pieces. It just who goes out there, who prepares
and who performs on Saturday.
Now its a whole different game. We have lm on them,
they have lm on us. Now it gets more specic. The play-
calling gets more specic, attacking specic people, differ-
ent structures, defending, you know who youre going
against now. Its a whole different type of preparation. You
know what youre getting, you know what youre attacking,
now can you implement a game plan? Can you prepare for a
specic opponent?
Kickoff for Game 2 of the 2013 season is scheduled for 1
p.m. at College Heights Stadium at the College of San
Mateo.

now the Raiders hope he will produce enough to be the fran-
chises quarterback the rest of the season and beyond.
At rst, when it was me and Matt going at it, its kind of
tricky to be a leader and lead guys, because who are they
looking at? Me? Matt? Who are they looking at to lead
them? Pryor said Wednesday. Now that thats decided, Im
just going to go out and be myself. I think thats the best
way because if I try and be somebody else, some of the guys
I look up to around the league, they do this, they yell, some
of the guys, so Im just going to be myself, and I think
myself is, I want to have success. The guys are going to
thrive and see that, that I want success. Hopefully, it just
rubs off and I believe it will.
After refusing to announce his starter last week for com-
petitive reasons, Raiders coach Dennis Allen appears
ready to ride Pryor the rest of the season.
Pryor completed 19 of 29 passes for 217 yards and a
touchdown and set a Raiders franchise record for rushing by
a quarterback with 112 yards on 13 carries against the
Colts. He became the eighth quarterback since the 1970
merger to throw for at least 200 yards and run for at least
100 in a single game.
Allen said hed still like to see Pryor get back to the hud-
dle quicker following big runs to avoid clock-management
issues. Hes also talked to the 6-foot-5, 238-pound quarter-
back about sliding or getting out of bounds to avoid big
hits.
RAIDERS
MINNEAPOLIS Jed Lowries foul ball that turned
into a two-run double after umpires changed the call high-
lighted a 10-run fourth inning as the Oakland Athletics
pounded the Minnesota Twins 18-3 on Wednesday night.
Every Oakland starter had at least one hit, one run and
one RBI as the As recorded a season-high 22 hits and
extended their lead over Texas in the AL West to three
games.
Lowrie, Coco Crisp and Stephen Vogt also homered.
Yoenis Cespedes had three RBIs to help the As score their
most runs in a game since beating Boston 20-2 on Aug.
31, 2012.
With runners on second and third and three runs already
in, Lowrie lined a ball down the line in the fourth that
rst-base umpire Bill Miller ruled foul as he danced out of
the way.
Lowrie pointed at the ground inside the white line
where he thought the ball hit. Oakland manager Bob
Melvin came out to argue, and Lowrie was eventually
awarded a two-run double after the entire umpire crew hud-
dled and changed the call.

side of their caps in commemoration of the
tragedy. Special lineup cards were used, and
patriotic on-eld tributes were planned for the
days 15 games, involving all 30 teams. Flags
were half-staff, and there were moments of
silence across baseball.
The 531st U.S. Air Force Quintet performed
the national anthem instrumentally at
Rangers Ballpark. The honorary rst pitch
was thrown out by former prisoner of war
Jessica Lynch, who was 19 when she was cap-
tured along with ve other soldiers after the
U.S. Armys 507th Maintenance Company
took a wrong turn and came under attack in Iraq
in 2003. She was held for nine days before
being rescued.
The Cleveland Police Department presented
the colors at Progressive Field before the
national anthem at the Indians game against
Kansas City.
Clevelands Jason Giambi was with Oakland
when the Athletics were in the 2001 playoffs
against the New York Yankees. He recalled the
atmosphere at Yankee Stadium being unbe-
lievable, even more electric than usual for the
postseason.
It will always be a time Ill remember,
going out there playing against the Yankees
during that time, Giambi said. It kind of
healed the nation, especially the city of New
York, which was hit so hard. There they were,
the Yankees playing in the playoffs, going all
the way to the World Series.
Giambi signed with the Yankees after that,
and spent seven seasons in New York.
Playing there all those years, the kids, the
reghters, the people who lost their lives
saving the other lives, Ill always remember
that, very much so, Giambi said.
At Cincinnatis Great American Ball Park,
where the Reds hosted the Chicago Cubs, a

Before San Francisco hosted Colorado at

two San Francisco reghters who went to
New York in the days after Sept. 11 to provide
help and support. Dean Crispen, captain of

Pettis and the White Sox had arrived in New
York 12 years ago around 2-3 a.m., and he was
awoken by a phone call from a friend checking
to make sure he was OK.
I said, Yeah, Im OK, Im asleep. He said,
you dont know, do you? Pettis recalled. I
turn on the TV and I see that the building
smokes coming out of the building and
they said there had been a plane crash.
Like so many others, Pettis thought maybe
it was just a tragic accident before the second
plane hit the other tower.
Pettis cant believe its been 12 years.
Before going to the ballpark on Wednesday
morning, he turned on his TV knowing what
he was going to see.
It took me a minute to get up and get my
day going because I started watching some of
the stories and listening to some of the people
talk about being there, and then seeing some
of the messages that were left for families, he
said.
9/11
In the video clip, featuring the players sit-
ting side by side in a locker room playing the
video game, Wilson suggests the loser should
shave his eyebrow, to which Kaepernick
quips, All right, I hope you dont like your
eyebrow.
The Seahawks are miffed at Harbaugh for
several things.
They claim he honked his horn at their
team bus leaving Candlestick Park after San
Franciscos win last October. Safety Earl
Thomas insists that will only serve as fuel,
along with all of the other jabs from both
sides in recent months.
At least some Seattle players considered the
move as mockery. Harbaugh has denied the
honk, calling it a fabrication.
Of course wed take it that way, Thomas
said Wednesday. When you carry yourself
like a champion on and off the eld, good
stuff is going to happen for you. ... It just
seems like he has a lot of personality, thats
all fun and games. Its good for the sport of
football. Hes a competitor it seems like. Our
coach is the same way. I dont think our coach
would do that.
This budding rivalry between San
Francisco and Seattle has intrigue on so many
levels. And it appears to have staying power,
too, as long as Carroll and Harbaugh keep
winning and keep their jobs.
They think theyre the best, we think
were the best, 49ers running back Frank
Gore said.
Carroll on Wednesday made several com-
parisons of the teams, from competitive spir-
it, to physical play to talent level. And how
about coaching styles?
What do you think? Thats for you guys to
gure out, not me, Carroll said.
The coaches certainly provide plenty of
entertainment value.
It is a fun thing to look at, Thomas said.
As a competitive standpoint, you denitely
look at it as, OK, I know in their minds
they probably wont say it in front of their
players but they denitely want to win this
game a lot more than other games. That just
adds a cherry on top to the excitement build-
ing up to this game.
So far this week at least, Harbaugh is pro-
viding little new fuel ahead of Sunday nights
NFC matchup at CenturyLink Field.
He even offered some kind words regarding
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and
wideout Doug Baldwin, both former Stanford
players. If theres any animosity on
Harbaughs part, hes taking the high road.
Again, I dont know what youre talking
about there, he said. I have long and good
memories, fond memories of both Richard
and Doug when we were teammates. I under-
stand now were competitors. I wish them
both long and healthy careers.
What Harbaugh said in June regarding per-
formance-enhancing drugs and Seattle
remains fresh for the Seahawks, however.
Harbaugh took aim at Seattles run of per-
formance-enhancing drug infractions, which
included an overturned suspension for
Sherman.
You always want to be above reproach,
especially when youre good, because you
dont want people to come back and say,
Theyre winning because theyre cheating,
Harbaugh said then. Thats always going to
be a knee-jerk reaction in my experience,
ever since I was a little kid.
Go back even further, and theres been plen-
ty of fuming by both sides.
Harbaughs Cardinal traveled to Los
Angeles in his rst season at Stanford as 41-
point underdogs only to stun the second-
ranked Trojans 24-23 and end their 35-game
home winning streak. It was largely consid-
ered the biggest upset in college football that
year and among the best ever.
Then, in 2009, Harbaugh and No. 25
Stanford ran up the score on 11th-ranked USC
in a surprising 55-21 rout, even attempting a
2-point conversion with the game way out of
reach prompting Carrolls infamous
Whats your deal? when they met afterward
at mideld.
Now, theres a new deal between
Kaepernick and Wilson?
I dont think Russell will be shaving his
eyebrow then, Thomas said.
Gore said the Niners will do their part to
keep all of Kaepernicks facial hair intact.
Thats the plan, Gore said.
Not es: The 49ers signed WR Kassim
Osgood to a one-year contract to be a core
player on special teams, and placed LB Nick
Moody on the injured reserve/designated for
return list. Harbaugh said he will miss seven
games. ... San Francisco RB LaMichael
James, nursing a sprained medial collateral
ligament in his left knee, said he expects to
practice Thursday and hopes to play Sunday.
I want to be out there, he said.

Looking for a cheaper way to fertilize
owers or keep pests at bay? Abetter tool
for planting tiny seeds?
The answers may lie in your home, where
common household items like coffee
grounds or old pie tins can become easy,
eco-friendly tools to give your garden a
boost without breaking the bank.
Turn old boots or shoes into planters, or
reuse packing peanuts by laying them at the
bottom of large flower pots to aid in
drainage and make for lighter lifting, sug-
gests Stacy Tornio, editor of Birds &
Blooms magazine.
You can take anything you have and
upcycle it, she says.
Some simple, easy ways to repurpose
household items for a bargain backyard:
CREATIVE CONTAINERS
Its easy to spend a fortune on pots and
vases. But one easy way to start upcy-
cling in the garden is by planting herbs,
owers and houseplants in everything from
worn boots to old teapots and even bath-
room sinks.
They contribute a touch of whimsy and
even a settled look to a garden scene,
Tornio says.
Cristin Frank, a 38-year-old author and
gardening blogger from Williamsville,
N.Y., uses yogurt cups and other recyclable
plastic containers as small pots for her
starter plants in the spring.
Old take-out coffee cups serve as starter
watering cans with their smaller, perforated
plastic tops.
Birdbaths can also be made from house-
hold items like an old glass light shade
mounted on copper tubing.
Justin Cave, an Atlanta-based landscaper
and former host of HGTVs Ground
Breakers, recently turned old shipping pal-
lets into a vertical garden by covering the
backs and sides with landscape fabric, stuff-
ing them with dirt, and planting succulents
and owers in the slated openings.
It turned out awesome, and was very cost-
effective, he says.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
In need of some new garden tools? Save
yourself a trip to the hardware store and
check your kitchen drawers.
Table utensils like spoons, forks and
knives are tough and sharp enough to do
many gardening jobs without causing dam-
age, according to Tornio.
Use them to separate ats, lift seedlings
and tease apart dense root balls. Knives can
also make a slim path for tiny seeds to fall
into.
Tornio says shes also seen people repur-
pose utensils as garden markers and borders
for ower beds.
Even something as innocuous as old
nylons can be reused in the backyard to tie
up oppy plants or line the bottom of pots
so water can get through but dirt cannot.
Packing peanuts are also a good drainage
medium, and lighten the load when large
pots need to be moved around, Tornio says.
HOMEMADE REMEDIES
Old wives tales abound for solving all
kinds of garden problems, from pesky deer
to acidic soil, but many of them actually
work.
And much of what you need may be sitting
in your kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
Coffee grounds, for example, can be
sprinkled at the bottom of any plant to
improve drainage in clay soils, and espe-
cially plants that like rich, moist organic
soils like azaleas and blueberries, Tornio
says.
Tornio says soap can keep deer from
feasting on trees and plants. She suggests
breaking a bar of soap into pieces and hang-
ing them from strings or in old nylons or
net bags on trees or other structures near
prime deer feeding areas. The scent could
also keep other pests away.
Terry Grahl, founder and CEO of the
Michigan-based nonprofit Enchanted
Makeovers, uses the guts left over from her
husbands shing trips as fertilizer for her
gardens.
Finely crushed egg shells can be used as
compost or a way to add calcium to soils,
Dont throwit out; use it in the garden
Dont thow out those old boots.Turn them into planters.

while larger pieces keep snails and
slugs at bay, according to Floridas
Manatee County Extension Service.
WHIMSICAL DECOR
Household items can also add a
touch of whimsy to garden decor. Use
an old musical instrument like a tuba
to build a water fountain, or create a
bottle garden by placing empty
soda bottles over tree branches with
your kids, says Sara Jenkins-Sutton,
vice president of Chicago-based gar-
den and oral design rm Topiarius
Urban Garden.
When your cheese grater starts to
turn rusty, turn it over, hang it on a
deck and ll it with owers, plants or
outdoor chalk, she suggests.
Scatter vintage chairs or old farm
equipment throughout your garden to
add height and depth, and make a funky
wind chime out of old wine bottles.
Worried about your reused junk look-
ing like, well, junk?
Tornio suggests covering old con-
tainers with wallpaper or tying a rib-
bon around them to freshen them up
and keep your front stoop looking
good.

Candidates were also concerned with
mistrust of the current school board
and adjusting to Common Core curricu-
lum changes.
Challenges
The districts scal issues was the
primary concern for candidates.
The financial deficit is probably
going to be $1.5 million, Zelnik
said. All the other districts have made
adjustments. We have an unnished
middle school too.
The $199 Measure G parcel tax for
schools failed to garner a two-thirds
majority to pass last fall.
A transparent parcel tax, with
specics, would be ideal, Zelnik said.
The Local Control Funding Formula
also was a topic of interest for the can-
didates. The new formula will send
$2.1 billion more to school districts
that have high numbers of students
from lower-income families, who have
limited English prociency or are fos-
ter children. During the rst year, the
formula gives school districts more
control over state aid by eliminating
earmarks for state-mandated programs,
except for special education funding.
We need to wait and see how the
funding comes out [with the new for-
mula], Marinos said, in regards to
whether the district should try to intro-
duce a new education parcel tax.
The district would have to frame a tax
in a way to show the benecial impact
of it, Sanchez said. He also added that
the district will have to wait and see
how the new funding formula will
impact the district, but that it should
have a positive effect on the district.
There is also concern about the dis-
tricts readiness for
new curriculum. The
states new
Common Core stan-
dards shift to more
team collaborative
learning, with less
time spent on lec-
tures and more of an
emphasis on class-
room technology.
New Smarter
Balance assess-
ments align with
these new standards
and will go into
effect during the
2014-15 school
year.
The next two to
three years will give
the district a better
idea on how the it
can improve on the
new standards,
Sanchez said. He
noted that Common
Core is very impor-
tant and there will
be a lot of money
going into technol-
ogy for the change.
Afocus on profes-
sional development
is key to imple-
menting the
Common Core,
Marinos said.
Concerns with
board,
administration
Some of the candidates expressed
concern about current district ofcials.
With the current decit, the incum-
bent has not kept his promise to vot-
ers of fiscal responsibility, staff
morale is low because of not providing
compensation through some mecha-
nism because they couldnt convince
voters to do the right thing [pass a par-
cel tax], Zelnik said. The mistrust
[with the board] is detrimental to the
community.
In terms of decisions to shut down
schools, like Crestmoor Elementary
School, Superintendent David Hutt did
not act correctly, Flynn said. The
board needs to make decisions further
ahead of time and compromise, he
said.
If he would have stepped up and just
explained why he had to do it earlier
rather than later, it would have been a
lot better, Flynn said. He could have
said Im closing Crestmoor, what can
I do for your families?
Zelnik and Marinos agreed with
Flynn. Marinos called him a light-
ning rod in the district.
Hutt needs to go, Zelnik said. He
has been a detriment to the district.
Sanchez stood on the opposing side,
noting that Hutt is very upfront, hon-
est and cares about the children very
much.

Its created an amazing culture, Kelley said. Team sports
have brought the morale up.
ABulldog decal is soon to be installed at the center of the
gym oor to highlight the schools mascot. The school also
had a cement bulldog on campus, with no ofcial connection
to the mascot until the start of the basketball program.
Where physical education is dropping off in some public
schools, its an absolute must for Stanbridge, he said.
They can enjoy it here even if they got laughed at or teased
in the past.
The biggest roadblock for their athletic teams is that they
have to combine grade levels to play typical teams since
Stanbridge doesnt have enough students or talent from
either the junior high or high school individually to have
separate teams. They end up playing mostly junior high
school teams but, on occasion, high school teams as well.
Currently, the school has mostly 12-game season scrim-
mages.
Kelley said the school always welcomes other schools to
play against their combined grade 7-12 aged athletic teams.
Its a special place, Kelley said.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19

TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
Last week, while dropping one
of my kids off at high school on
the first day of the new school
year, I got to thinking about late
bloomers. I was struck by the
differences in size and appearance
between some of the students,
especially the boys. Another par-
ent watching the scene comment-
ed: Its amazing how much they
change in four years. By the time
they graduate, the late bloomers
have all caught up.
Isnt that the truth! And the
same holds true in the garden.
While the transition from August
to September is typically a low
spot for blooming perennials,
there are several late ones that
not only bridge the gap into fall
but actually outshine their early
blooming garden neighbors.
If your garden lacks color or
interest this time of year, here are
a few perennials you might want
to consider planting to spruce
things up.
First is a beautiful plant with a
not-so beautiful common name.
Tricyrtis hirta, often called toad
l i l y, is native to Japan. It begins
blooming anywhere from the end
of August into the middle of
October, depending on where you
live. Mine start blooming in mid-
to late September, when most
perennials are preparing to go
dormant. Its exceptionally exqui-
site creamy white flowers are ran-
domly blotched in deep purple
and speckled with black spots.
Looking much like old-fashioned
spin art, they almost appear
exotic and demand your atten-
tion. The flowers are arranged
down the length of the plants
arching stems.
There are several hybrid forms,
and all prefer to grow in full to
partial shade in average to moist
garden soil. During the growing
season, the plant goes a bit unno-
ticed, especially while other
plants are blooming. However,
once Tricyrtis begins flowering,
it is hard not to notice it, espe-
cially once the plant has matured
into a larger clump.
I planted a form in my garden
called Samurai, with beautiful
gold edged leaves. When not in
bloom, the gold variegation
makes the plant stand out against
the mostly green plants in its
wooded location.
Another late blooming stand-
out for either shade or partial sun
is called Kirengeshoma palmata,
or wax bells. This plant is not
only a first-rate foliage plant,
which alone makes it high on my
list, but it starts blooming long
after almost every other wood-
land plant has finished flower-
i ng.
Kirengeshomas pendulous but-
ter-yellow flowers are held on
wiry stems well above its maple
leaf shaped dark green leaves. A
bit slow to establish, it will
eventually form a nice big clump,
making it visible even from a dis-
tance. Hardy from zones 5
through 9, it does best in humus-
rich soil that stays evenly moist
during the summer.
Last but not least on my list of
late bloomers is a Phlox panicu-
lata variety called Jeana. Three
to four feet in height, with medi-
um pink flowers, Jeana is perfect
for the middle
or back of the
border. I have it planted in a shrub
border where it seems to thrive,
adding late-season color to other-
wise flowerless foliage. Having
an unexpected spot of color pop
up late in the season helps keep
that part of the garden interest-
i ng.
Jeanas flowers are small for a
phlox, but what they lack in size
they make up for in number.
While many phlox varieties suf-
fer from late season mildew,
Jeana is unbothered by it even in
my garden, where fog is a com-
mon occurrence.
If you add Jeana to your garden,
choose a site that is either in full
sun or partial shade with well-
drained but fertile soil. While not
considered a drought-tolerant
plant, it shouldnt have any trou-
ble standing up to hot, dry sum-
mers as long as there is ample
moisture during the spring grow-
ing season.
Time for the late bloomers to take center stage
Tricyrtis hirta, or toad lily, blooms in fall when other perennials are preparing to go dormant.

the vendor then shared with her superi-
or. The vendor claimed Employee X was
rude and the superior then allegedly dis-
paraged the whistleblower in a public
setting by stating she had ruined the
working relationship with the vendor.
Employee X asked why parts for $2
were shipped for a cost of $65. She felt
the charges were extremely high and
asked for an explanation.
As it turned out, a bus was down and
the part needed to be shipped quickly to
get it back on the road.
But the accountant allegedly refused
to pay the shipping charge and alleged-
ly held back shipping payments to
other vendors as well.
She claimed it was her due diligence
to question how taxpayer money was
being spent. She did so in a way, how-
ever, that created tension and concerns
with her abrupt and sometimes abrasive
manner among management, her col-
leagues and certain vendors, according
to the condential report.
She also complained about a $15
shipping charge that riled another ven-
dor.
A superior then sent Employee X a
memo requesting that she may benet
from specialized training/coaching
regarding her communication style.
The employee was requested to take a
one-day seminar called Developing
Your Emotional Intelligence, and
Emailing for Success, a three-hour
course.
Employee X, however, took the sug-
gestion as a retaliatory response for
her questioning the unusually high
shipping charges.
In an email exchange to a superior,
Employee X writes I am doing my best
to protect taxpayers money but appar-
ently my service is not appreciated. I
will take these emails as proofs that I
did notify all of you for any suspicious
activities but you all disagreed with me
and failed to take my alerts into consid-
eration. For these reasons, should
something happen in the future, please
excuse me for any oversight.
In another series of emails,
Employee X disputes claims of a $59
payment and states she did not directly
contact a vendor about the charge
despite the vendor saying she did.
I would appreciate you to not
wrongly accuse me for something I did
not do, she wrote in an email to a
coworker. As a buyer, I thought you
should do your due diligence to negoti-
ate with vendors since you are giving
them long-term business but apparent-
ly that was not the case since I have
seen patterns of high freight charges
that could be avoidable, keep showing
up on many vendors invoices. From
now on, I hope you stop attacking me
for any claim that has no basis.
Much of the email correspondence is
from November 2012.
The districts Chief Executive Ofcer
Michael Scanlon told the Daily Journal
that when the matter was rst brought
to managements attention we were
skeptical.
The district, however, responded
appropriately, he said.
We engaged through HR and general
consul a full-blown investigation and
they found no evidence supporting the
claim, Scanlon told the Daily Journal.
Employee X has since been recom-
mended for termination, is on unpaid
leave and awaiting a final appeal,
Scanlon said.
The Daily Journal received some doc-
uments a few months ago from an
unnamed source that questioned certain
contracts and cozy relationships
within the district.
Those same documents and more were
also sent to other news organizations
in the area that have since made
inquiries into the claims.
SamTrans ofcials believe the source
of the documents is Employee X and
perhaps another former employee, who
quit his accounting job with the transit
agency a couple years ago over unrelat-
ed matters.
The two have allegedly teamed up to
call out other accounting practices they
deemed inappropriate such as a few
$16,000 payments made for coaching
and another $5,000 line item. In total,
the whistleblower has challenged
about $300,000 in line-item expenses.
SamTrans did nd that some transac-
tions over the past few years were mis-
coded and paid for out of the wrong
account but an outside independent
auditor asserts the line items are imma-
terial and that a restatement of prior
year nancials was unnecessary.
SamTrans corrected the accounting
errors anyway, however.
The districts total budget is about
$500 million considering its over-
sight of the bus service, Caltrain, para-
transit service and transportation proj-
ect funds.
Although, the independent consult-
ant that investigated the whistleblow-
ers claims found no evidence of
harassment, discrimination or defama-
tion, SamTrans officials think
Employee X may be trying to bolster
her claim that she is a true whistle-
blower and being retaliated against by
reaching out to the local press.

At Wednesday afternoons LAFCo
meeting, former district operations
manager James Counts asked the com-
mission to either ensure those individu-
als leave or move the mosquito abate-
ment functions back to San Mateo
County.
No ones paid any dues for whats
happened here, Counts said.
Gay was placed on an employee
improvement plan and his contract
extended; Dearman and Seeney pleaded
no contest to multiple counts of embez-
zlement between 2009 and 2001 and are
due to be sentenced Friday.
LAFCo Commissioner Allan Alifano,
who did not belong at the time of the
2012 status quo vote, was initially con-
fused that LAFCo wouldnt perform the
evaluation itself.
Its a little bafing to me to send this
to the county and say, Gee, what do you
think, Alifano said.
But Poyatos explained that LAFCo or
any of the districts member cities can
apply for dissolution once the new
information is gleaned. LAFCo can
legally require Environmental Health to
share information but cannot mandate it
actually do a full evaluation.
Although the commission held off on
deciding the districts fate, several mem-
bers expressed lingering concerns over
its governance and operations.
Commissioner Linda Craig, the sole
member who voted in favor of dissolu-
tion the last time, joked that she would
be happy to convince my fellow com-
missioners again.
Gay told LAFCo yesterday the district
has since implemented all the recom-
mendations made by the commission
and numerous consultants. The account-
ing and nance functions are segregated
with new internal controls, credit cards
are limited to two employees and all pur-
chases require pre-approval, he said.
The district is moving forward and
is currently in a battle with a range of
virus-bearing insects, he said.
But Dennis Prager, a 15-year former
district trustee who chaired the nance
committee, called the current board
incompetent, Gay responsible and
said the district spends more on attorney
fees due to the crimes than on efforts to
kill this impending doom Bob speaks
of.
District Trustee Betsey Schneider,
who represents the city of San Carlos
and helped uncover the embezzlement
when she questioned pesticide account
expenses, said she is worried about what
will happen to the improvements when
the nance administrator leaves. She
also is concerned about the cozy rela-
tionship between Gay and board
President Sam Lerner although said
shes not sure if thats grounds to dis-
solve the district.
San Mateo County previously handled
the districts duties but transferred
rodent responsibilities in 2008 fol-
lowed three years later by all vector con-
trol.

and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site
www.recontrustco.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-

ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Angela R. Batchelor
Case Number: 123672
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Angela R. Batchelor. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Susan A. Harris in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Susan
A. Harris be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 1, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor 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 representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable 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 DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
