SamTrans aims to go electric


By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With the price of diesel fuel only


projected to increase and technology advancing, local transit officials are considering a long-term
plan for SamTrans to go electric.

Pending legislation that could


recommend an aggressive path for
transit agencies to reduce their
emissions and go electric by 2040
has prompted the San Mateo
County Transit Authority to consider updating its fleet of buses,
said Deputy CEO Chuck Harvey.

With
rapid technological
advancements and the cost of electric buses expected to decrease,
SamTrans officials are keeping a
keen eye on the industry as they
consider replacing some of its outdated fleet in the coming years,
Harvey said.

SamTrans has spent the last


two decades working aggressively
to reduce emissions and look at
new technologies, Harvey said.
The two biggest challenges in
electric today is the initial cost of
the vehicle, which is still
approaching $1 million, an ultra-

clean
diesel
costs
about
$450,000, so theyre overall double the price. And the bigger
issue is range.
While SamTrans gives nearly 1
million bus rides a month, ensur-

Nonprofit delivers bouquets to patients, seniors at random


By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The gift of flowers is a timeless


gesture and its done randomly by a
local nonprofit with kindness in
mind.
Earlier this month, Menlo Parkbased Random Acts of Flowers
reached a major milestone, receiving its 100,000th vase donation,
which will be recycled, filled with
flowers and then given to an individual randomly at a hospital or
senior care facility.
Recent vase drives at all four of
its locations in Knoxville,

Tennessee, Tampa, Florida, Menlo


Park and Chicago led to the milestone.
Each donated vase is cleaned,
filled with recycled and repurposed
flowers donated by a host or
florists and then made into a bouquet for delivery.
It takes a team of volunteers and
a small dedicated staff to make it
all work, said Executive Director
Camille Kennedy.
From Burlingame to Sunnyvale,
volunteers deliver up to 250 vases
a week.

ATLANTA Julian Bonds life
traced the arc of the civil rights movement, from his efforts as a militant
young man to start a student protest
group, through a long career in politics and his leadership of the NAACP
almost four decades later.
Year after year, the calm, telegenic
Bond was one of the nations most

fellow activists with his words in the
1960s and sharing the movements
vision with succeeding generations as
a speaker and academic. He died

Bond died in Fort Walton Beach,

In 1968, he led a delegation to the


Democratic National Convention,
where his name was placed in nomination for the vice presidency, but he
declined because he was too young.
He served in the Georgia House until
1975 and then served six terms in the
Georgia Senate until 1986. He also
served as president of the law center
from its founding until 1979 and was
later on its board of directors.
Bond was elected board chairman of
the NAACP in 1998 and served for 10
years. He was known for his intellect
and his even keel, even in the most
emotional situations, Young said.
When everybody else was getting
worked up, I could find in Julian a cool
serious analysis of what was going
on, Young said.
Bond was often at the forefront of
protests against segregation. In 1960,
he helped organize a sit-in involving
Atlanta college students at the city

We never thought that he really
would participate and be arrested
because he was always so laid back and
cool, but he joined in with us,
recalled Carolyn Long Banks, now 74,
who said Bond never sought much
recognition in those early years.
Bond was a thinker as well as a
doer. He was a writer as well as a young
philosopher, said Charlayne HunterGault, a journalist who struck up a
friendship with Bond in the early
1960s.

Julian Bond as communications

of his anti-war stance on Vietnam. The
case went all the way to the U.S.

Bond finally took office in 1967.
If this was another movement, they

Voters determine future of clerk, treasurer


San Bruno residents can decide in fall election whether officials are appointed or elected
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A ballot measure in the upcoming fall


election proposes to shift the way two vital
positions in San Bruno city offices will be
filled.
The city clerk and treasurer would be
appointed to their job by the City Council,
rather than elected, under majority approval
of San Bruno voters in the Nov. 3 election.
As the positions have become increasingly demanding and complex in recent years,
residents would be best served to have a
qualified candidate selected by the council,
officials claim.
Back in the day, it may have made sense
for those positions to be elected, particularly when the technical and operational
requirements were not so extreme, said
City Manager Connie Jackson.
Should voters approve the transition,
clerk and treasurer would be appointed after
a traditional interview process by the council, similar to how the city manager is hired,
said Jackson.
The only current qualifications required to
serve as clerk or treasurer is to be a San
Bruno resident, who is at least 18 years old,
and receive a majority of the popular vote.
San Bruno City Clerk Carol Bonner is
responsible for managing public records,
recording the actions and proceedings of the
council, providing research and information to residents and city staff, among other
requirements.
Treasurer John Marty is charged with
examining the safety and investment of all
city funds totaling roughly $60 million,
and serves a function similar to an inde-

pendent auditor to those who operate the


finance department, along with more
responsibilities.
Jackson said in recent decades the city has
enjoyed an unprecedented run of good luck
in having qualified elected personnel fill the
seats.
Bonner is in the midst of her third elected
term as clerk, serving in the wake of Terri
Rasmussen, who filled the position for 25
years prior to retiring in 2001.
Marty was appointed in 2006, filling the
shoes of Karen Hornung, who served a treasurer for more than two decades as well.
Historically the city has been well served
by those who have been elected as clerk and
treasurer, said Jackson, but San Bruno
should join the growing movement of cities
choosing to appoint the positions.
This is not a reflection on either person, said Jackson. I think weve been
very lucky and had a very stable history
over the past many years.
Should voters approve the separate ballot
measures, the new system would go into
effect after 2017, when the current treasurer
and clerk terms expire.
We are looking forward and looking at
the opportunity to put it out there to voters
and have them consider this, said Jackson.
The council approved putting the measures on the ballot May 26, after a vote of 32, with councilman Ken Ibarra and Rico
Medina
opposing.
Bonner said, in an email, she supports moving away from an election system, and
believed someone who has extensive experience working in city government is the
best fit to fill the position.
I am strongly in favor of the measure to

have the City Clerk an appointed position,


she said.
She said despite extensive experience in a
variety of industries prior to serving as
clerk, she was surprised how much she had
to learn once she took the position, she
said.
Bonner said the requirements of her position far surpass the minimal qualifications
to be elected.
Being the City Clerk should not be based
on a popularity contest, but rather a skillset commensurate with the position, she
said.
But Ibarra said he appreciated the independence afforded to those who were elected, which is one of the reasons he voted
against the proposal to appoint the clerk.
If the clerk is not elected by voters, their
communications would likely first be vetted
by the city manger, which may restrict the
free flow of information being disseminated, said Ibarra.
Ibarra said he supported appointing the
treasurer though, as he has been pleased
with the work that Marty has done.
Marty noted there may be a potential conflict of interest for an appointed treasurer
auditing the officials who selected him, but
he said those concerns are outweighed by
the demands of the treasurer position, and
ultimately he favors changing how the
position is filled.
An elected treasurer does not make policy,
and instead can only exercise the limited
power granted to the position, said Marty,
which makes arguments regarding potential

Spare the Air alert School districts face teacher shortage


issued for Monday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAY CITY NEWS

A Spare the Air Smog Alert has


been issued for Monday due to
unhealthy levels of smog and
smoke in the air, and residents are
being advised both to limit their
exposure to the unhealthy conditions and avoid making them
worse.
Particulate pollution from wildfires around Northern California
increased on Saturday, and high
levels were found throughout the
Bay Area Sunday morning. Air
quality is also being adversely
affected by unhealthy levels of
smog, according to the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District.
The Bay Area is experiencing
serious air pollution due to the fires
and smog, Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Air District, said
in a statement. Its important that
Bay Area residents protect their
health by avoiding outdoor activities and avoid polluting more by
not mowing lawns, using BBQ
lighter fluid or driving alone.

Jack Broadbent, executive officer

Area residents are advised to


avoid unnecessary exposure to
unhealthy air conditions by limiting outdoor activities, setting airconditioners to recirculate air
when possible, and remain
indoors with doors and windows
closed, according to district officials.
Area residents are also encouraged to walk, bike, carpool or take
public transit rather than driving alone as a way of reducing
air pollution, according to district
officials.
Air pollution levels are expected
to remain high through the rest of
the day, and may not get better
until Monday.

OAKLAND
A growing
teacher shortage has left district
officials across the San Francisco
Bay Area scrambling to fill classrooms, with critical shortages in
science, math, special education
and bilingual education.
Many parents will find a substitute teacher, or even a credentialed
central office staffer, leading their
childrens classes when students
begin returning to school this
week, the San Francisco Chronicle
reported Sunday.
This is probably developing
into a historic shortage nationwide, said Troy Flint, a
spokesman for Oakland Unified
School District. Were operating
in a more competitive pool just to

retain our employees and hire new


employees.
As of Friday, just 10 days before
the start of school on Aug. 24,
Oakland needed 77 teachers, and
barring a miracle will have
many unfilled positions when students arrive. Administrators have
launched a military-like response
to address the shortage, one that
includes deploying long-term
substitutes and central office staff
and overloading classes in
grades four through 12.
Retirements, high attrition rates
and a lack of new recruits are all
contributing to the shortage. In
2008, just as the recession started,
almost 45, 000 people were
enrolled in teacher preparation
programs in California. By 2013,
there were fewer than 20, 000,

according
to
the
state
Commission
on
Teacher
Credentialing.
Oakland, San Francisco and
other urban districts started feeling the teacher shortage last year,
with high-flying housing costs
driving teachers further afield.
Making things worse, the sizzling post-recession economy
boosted school budgets, allowing
districts to add positions and
reduce class sizes again creating even more jobs to fill.
In San Francisco, the district had
to fill 465 teacher positions for
the coming school year, compared
with 400 last year. There were
more retirements and resignations
this year, and more teachers are
taking sabbaticals, according to
district data.

Wind, heat, dry land fueling large blazes


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sunday ushered in calmer weather across the West, aiding firefighters who worked to contain
flames fed by drought conditions
and whipped up by wind and heat.
Firefighters across the Pacific
Northwest are working to protect
property from fast-moving wildfires that destroyed multiple
homes in eastern Oregon, cut off
power in Washington and forced
thousands of evacuations throughout the region. A 70-year-old
woman in Idaho died while preparing to flee as a wildfire expanded
east of Lewiston.
A l o o k at co ndi ti o ns :

CALIFORNIA
Light winds helped crews
increase containment of a wildfire
that destroyed several cabins and
charred nearly 2 -and-a-half square
miles of forest near Los Angeles.
Officials revised the size of the
fire downward after previous estimates put it at nearly 4 square
miles.

The blaze in the Angeles


National Forest above the suburbs
of Glendora and Azusa was 20 percent contained and holding steady
Sunday.
A half dozen campgrounds
remained evacuated around the fire
that burned four cabins and an outbuilding when it broke out on
Friday.
Firefighters clambered along
rocky ridges in triple-digit temperatures. Ten were treated for heat
exhaustion, dehydration and
minor injuries.
Meanwhile, crews were mopping up a 189-acre fire that erupted Friday in Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles. The blaze,
which burned on rolling hills
close to subdivisions containing
500 homes, was contained
Saturday without any building
damage.
In Northern California, firefighters made more gains against a
wildfire 100 miles north of San
Francisco that forced mountaintown dwellers to evacuate for the
second time in days. Wind shifts

sent smoke from the fire all the


way to the San Francisco Bay
Area, where residents turned to
social media to report the haze.
The National Weather Service said
smoky conditions were likely to
remain in the area throughout the
weekend.
Two fires have charred dry Lower
Lake, the most recent burning 39
square miles of thick brush and
oak trees in Lake and Napa counties. It was 82 percent contained
by Sunday.
An earlier, larger fire in the same
area was fully contained Friday
more than two weeks after it broke
out. The blaze destroyed 43
homes.

WASHINGTON
Fire officials are hoping calmer
weather Sunday will aid fire crews
using air tankers, helicopters and
bulldozers to attack several large
fires burning in the Chelan area in
central Washington that have
destroyed more than 50 structures.
Fire incident spokesman Wayne
Patterson said Sunday that more

fire crews, including from the


Washington National Guard, are
being mobilized to fight six fires
burning in the area.
Together, the blazes in the area
have scorched more than 155
square miles, forced about 1,500
residents to flee their homes and
caused power outages.
Officials say more than 50 structures have been destroyed and the
number is likely to go higher.
Patterson said air tankers have
established lines to keep the
flames from reaching downtown
Chelan, a popular central
Washington
resort
town.
Helicopters have been dipping
into Lake Chelan to pull up water
to battle blazes north of the lake.
There were literally people on
the beaches near that lake in their
swim wear out on the lake right
near it, Patterson told The
Associated Press.

COLORADO
Lightning storms across northwest Colorado are being blamed
for several wildfires, including

one north of Craig that was estimated at 450 acres.


The Bureau of Land Management says no injuries have been
reported and one home was evacuated.
The Northwest Colorado Fire
Management Unit says nine fires
were ignited Saturday.
Firefighters say the fires were
pushed in multiple directions by
erratic winds from passing
storms.

MONTANA
Better weather conditions
Sunday aided firefighting efforts
on most wildfires burning in western Montana and prevented new
major fire starts.
In addition, no huge runs like

Drought brings early harvest in wine country


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HEALDSBURG In Northern
Californias wine country, the
2015 harvest has arrived shockingly early, amid years of drought
that have progressively shifted
vines growing season earlier into
the year.
Winemakers are scrambling to
keep pace, and many worry about
the financial implications of an
extremely low-yielding crop, the
San Francisco Chronicle reported

Sunday.
Ive been making wine for 38
years, and this is the second-earliest harvest Ive ever seen, said
Eileen Crane, CEO and winemaker
of Domaine Carneros, who began
picking on July 31.
Many growers of Pinot Noir in
Sonoma and Mendocino counties,
and in cool pockets of Santa
Barbara, are already well into their
harvest.
John Bucher, of Bucher Vineyard
in Healdsburg, says that he usually

starts picking Pinot the first week


of September but this year hell be
done by the end of August.
It sounds crazy to finish
before we typically start, he said.
Not only has the harvest come
early, its progressing more quickly and the yields are low. In many
cases, especially for Pinot producers, a picking schedule that would
stretch over a month is being condensed into about a week.
The drought is among several
factors contributing to this unusu-

al vintage.
An early 2014 harvest pushed up
the 2015 growing season.
Drought conditions a warm, dry
winter then accelerated budbreak, which marks the beginning
of a vines life cycle.
Grape growers emphasized that
although this years harvest is
early, it doesnt mean that the
growing season was short. The
grapes
are
physiologically
mature, and the advantage of having ripe levels of sugars in early

August,
rather than
early
September, is that they retain
more acid.
As a result, the vintage shows
the potential for both richness
and elegance a winemakers
ideal.
And despite the small crop,
2015 wine prices are not expected
to rise since premium wine producers can generally absorb the costs
incurred by lower yields because
their bottle prices are high
enough.

State moves to provide interpreters in all court cases


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Going


through a divorce has been difficult for Sepideh Saeedi. Not understanding whats happening in
court because she isnt proficient
in English has made the process
even harder.
When you dont understand
what the judge is saying, what the
other sides attorney is saying,
its very stressful, Saeedi, 33,
who speaks Farsi, said after a
recent court hearing in Redwood
City.
Legal advocates say throughout
the state, litigants in divorce,
child custody, eviction and other
civil cases who have difficulty
with English are going into court
without qualified interpreters.

Instead, many are forced to turn to


friends or family members or
worse yet, the opposing party
for translation.
Thats because California only
guarantees access to an interpreter
in criminal cases, not civil cases.
But the state is looking to
change that. Under pressure from
the U.S. Department of Justice,
Californias Judicial Council this
year approved a plan to extend free
interpretation services to all cases
by 2017.
You cant have a court hearing
without having your client understand it correctly, said Protima
Pandey, a staff attorney with Bay
Area Legal Aid.
Pandey said she always makes
sure an interpreter is available for
her clients, but many litigants in

family court dont have attorneys


to do that for them.
California court officials say
extending interpreter services to
all cases wont be easy.
California has the nations
largest court system spread out
over a vast geographic area with
many rural counties. The state has
about seven million residents with
limited English proficiency who
speak over 200 languages.
The courts have also faced funding cuts in recent years that have
seen courthouses close and staff
cut.
There is no estimate yet on how
much it would cost to provide
interpreters in all cases, but the
plan approved by the judicial
council said the courts would need
more than the $92 million they

were spending.
Californias judiciary is committed to language access and
eager to work out the best way to
get that done, said California
State Supreme Court Associate
Justice
Mariano-Florentino
Cuellar, who heads the group in
charge of implementing the
states language access goals.
Critics say the state has dragged
its feet.
Our input all along has been
that they can do it sooner, said
Mary Lou Aranguren, legislative
chair of the California Federation
of Interpreters, a union representing court interpreters. Theres a
lot of excuses the courts have used
for years.
California was among 10 states
that did not have a law, rule or

guiding document requiring courts


to provide interpreters in all criminal and civil cases, according to a
2014 survey by the National
Center for Access to Justice at
Cardozo Law School.
A 2013 letter from the civil
rights division of the U. S.
Department of Justice said state
law and court rules placed limits
on providing free, qualified interpreters in non-criminal cases, and
courts were not using all of the
money in a fund used to pay for the
services of interpreters.
Its understandable that people
think the court hasnt moved as
quickly as it should have, said
Ventura County Superior Court
Judge Manuel Covarrubias, vicechair of the language access
implementation task force.

Obama can do Iran nuclear deal without Congress


By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The
September vote on the Iran nuclear
deal is billed as a titanic standoff
between President Barack Obama
and Congress. Yet even if lawmakers reject the agreement, its not
game-over for the White House.
A congressional vote of disapproval would not prevent Obama
from acting on his own to start
putting the accord in place. While
he probably would take some
heavy criticism, this course would
let him add the foreign policy
breakthrough to his second-term
list of accomplishments.
Obama doesnt need a congressional OK to give Iran most of the
billions of dollars in relief from
economic sanctions that it would
get under the agreement, as long
as Tehran honors its commitments
to curb its nuclear program at
least for now.

A resolution
to disapprove
the Iran agreement may have
s ub s t a n t i a l
political reverberations, but
limited practical
impact,
Robert
Barack Obama says
Satloff, executive director of the Washington
Institute for Near East Policy. It
would not override President
Obamas authority to enter into
the agreement.
Lawmakers on their summer
break are deciding how to vote. A
look at the current state of play:

WHAT WILL HAPPEN


IN SEPTEMBER?
With Republicans controlling
both chambers of Congress, the
House and Senate are expected to
turn down the deal.

Obama has pledged to veto such


a resolution of disapproval, so the
question has turned to whether
Congress could muster the votes
to override him, in what would be
a stinging, bipartisan vote of noconfidence against the president.
And Obama would forfeit the
authority he now enjoys to waive
sanctions that Congress has
imposed.
But Democrats and Republicans
have predicted that his expected
veto will be sustained that
opponents lack the votes to oneup Obama. More than half of the
Senate
Democrats
and
Independents of the 34 needed to
sustain a veto are backing the
deal. There is one notable defection so far New Yorks Chuck
Schumer, the No. 3 Democrat in
the Senate and the party leader-inwaiting.
In the House, more than 45
Democrats have expressed support. Democratic leader Nancy

Trumps foreign plans include


ground troops to battle ISIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is outlining a


foreign policy in which the United States
would put ground troops in the fight against
Islamic State militants and demand money
from Middle East countries supported by the
U.S.
In a wide-ranging interview that aired
Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, the billionaire businessman and former reality TV
star says he would consider shutting down
the federal government over funding for
Planned Parenthood. He says he isnt sure
whether he has donated money to the organization in the past but adds that he would
oppose providing federal funds if it continues providing abortion services.
Trump says he would ask nominees to the
Supreme Court about their views on abortion and would take their views into consideration as he made a decision on whom to
nominate. He says he opposes abortion
except in case of rape, incest and to save the
life of the mother.
Calling the nuclear agreement forged
between Iran and world powers including
the U.S. a bad deal, Trump says that Iran

will
have
nuclear
weapons and take over
parts of the world. And I
think its going to lead
to nuclear holocaust, he
said. Instead of tearing
up the deal, he said he
would police it, and he
called Secretary of State
Donald Trump John Kerry incompetent for negotiating the
agreement.
On defeating Islamic State militants,
Trump said the key is to take away their
wealth by taking back the oil fields under
their control in Iraq. Told by Meet the
Press host Chuck Todd that such a move
could require ground troops, Trump responded, Thats OK.
He said the Iraqis should be given something from their oil fields but, in an apparent reference to Iraq War veterans, we
should definitely take back money for our
soldiers.
Weve had soldiers that were so badly
hurt and killed, he said. I want their families to get something. Wounded warriors all
over the place. They got nothing. And they
cant even say we had a victory.

Pelosi of California has spoken


confidently about rounding up the
votes to save the deal. Ten House
Democrats have announced their
opposition.

WHAT CAN OBAMA


DO ON HIS OWN?
The president could suspend
some U.S. sanctions. He could
issue new orders to permit financial transactions that otherwise
are banned now. On the financial
sector, Obama could use executive
orders to remove certain Iranians
and entities, including nearly two
dozen Iranian banks, from U.S.
lists, meaning they no longer
would be subject to economic
penalties.
Only Congress can terminate
legislative sanctions, and theyre
some of the toughest, aimed at
Irans energy sector, central bank
and essential parts of its economy. Still, experts say Obama, on

his own, can neutralize the effect


of some of those sanctions, too,
and work with the Europeans on
softening others.
Obama can give most of the
sanctions relief under the agreement through executive order,
said Mark Dubowitz, a leading
sanctions proponent with the
Washington-based Foundation for
Defense of Democracies.
If Obama and the Europeans
erase the Iranian banks from the
sanctions list, those institutions
would regain access to the global
financial system.

QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
IN CONGRESS?
The September votes wont be
the final word.
One looming question is
whether Congress should try to
reauthorize the Iran Sanctions Act,
which authorizes many of the congressional sanctions.

Air raids near Beirut kill more than 80

BEIRUT Syrian airstrikes on


a Damascus suburb killed more

four-year civil war, as fighting

The air raids struck the main

said.
The strikes appeared to have
been launched in retaliation for
the capture of an army base in a
nearby suburb a day earlier by the

Islamic Army rebel group, which


enjoys strong support in Douma.
This is an official massacre that
was carried out deliberately, said

and then launched another after
people rushed in to retrieve the
wounded.

President Obamas nuclear deal with Iran


The Tampa (Florida) Tribune

hose who dismiss Republican


opposition to President
Obamas Iranian nuclear deal
as partisan posturing should consider
the stance of Democratic Sen. Chuck
Schumer of New York, expected to
replace Harry Reid as the Democratic
Senate leader and a reliable defender of
the president.
After deep study, careful thought
and considerable soul searching,
even this liberal stalwart found
Obamas concessions to Iran too
much to stomach.
Among Schumers objections: the
treatys imsy inspection requirements. U.N. inspectors can request
visits to Iranian military sites, but
access can be delayed or denied. As he
wrote, ... inspections are not anywhere, anytime; the 24-day delay
before we can inspect is troubling.
He also doubted that penalties
would be effective should Iran cheat
on the treaty. The only way the
snap-back of international sanctions could be achieved is through the
U.N. Security Council, which
Schumer recognizes can hardly be
counted on to protect the United
States interest, much less Israels.
Moreover, as Robert Satloff of the
Washington Institute for Near East
Policy has reported, a treaty provision apparently grandfathers any contracts signed with Iran after the sanctions come to an end. So these new

Other voices
contracts may not be affected should
the sanctions be re-imposed, diminishing any fears Iran would have of
violating the accord.
Further, as Satloff points out, the
accord commits the United States and
its treaty partners to assist Iran in the
development of energy, nance, technology and trade essentially requiring the United States to help our
longtime foe, a nation that has threatened the existence of Israel, to
become more powerful.
So Schumer has good reason to conclude that, at best, the treaty would
strengthen an unrepentant Iran and
position it to become a nuclear
power, even if it is after 10 years.
Congress will vote on the treaty in
the coming weeks, and is expected to
reject it. But the president can veto
that vote, and the treaty will go into
effect unless two-thirds of Congress
vote to override the veto.
So far, only a handful of Democrats
in Congress have joined Schumer and
come out against the deal. They
include Rep. Ted Deutch of Broward,
who wrote in a Sun-Sentinel op-ed,
There are different predictions about
what will happen if Congress rejects
this deal. But the consequences of
approving it arent up for debate.
Opening Iran up to foreign investment, increasing its oil exports and
unfreezing over $100 billion in

assets means more money for Hamas


for building terror tunnels in Gaza,
more weapons for Hezbollah in
Lebanon, more slaughter in Syria, and
more violence worldwide.
Indeed, ending the sanctions is
expected to boost Irans economy by
7 percent or more. And this will be
done without evidence that Iran is
keeping its promises.
All this would empower a nation
that calls the United States the Great
Satan to spread more terrorism and
turmoil around the globe.
And as the Iranian-American writer
Hooman Bakhtiar points out in The
Wall Street Journal, the agreement
will remove the names of disreputable
characters from Western sanctions,
among them a murderous thug who
once tried to assassinate Bakhtiars
uncle, an Iranian freedom ghter.
Bakhtiar writes, Joining him (the
assassin) will be numerous other
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
leaders responsible for the deaths of
many Iranian dissidents, U.S. servicemen in Iraq and civilians in Syria and
elsewhere.
Obama maintains that the alternative to his awed treaty is war. But the
world is likely to be far less safe if
the United States, with the most powerful military in the world, plays the
patsy to an oppressive, terrorist
regime intent on annihilating Israel
and violently opposed to Western culture. This deal should be soundly
rejected.

Same-sex marriage
Editor,
It was not a surprise for me of the
latest Venerable U.S. Supreme Court
ruling on same-sex marriage. They
have been very consistent with their
rulings for the past 55 years with
their direct war against God. The U.S.
Supreme Court rulings have been the
instrument of transforming our once
Christian government into a socialist, secular and atheistic society by
these rulings:
1). 1965 The legalization of
contraceptives for married couples.
2). 1968 Prayer in school was
banned.
3). 1972 Contraceptives became
legal for unmarried couples.
4). 1973 The legalization of
abortion.
5). 1986 Homosexuality,
sodomy, became legal.

San Mateo-Foster
City school bond
November 2015

he good news is that a unanimous school board has


agreed on the general terms of a school bond for
the November ballot. After some confusing and
overly long meetings early in the month, the board agreed
to build a new school in North Central for 250 students
and a new school in Foster City if an agreement can be
reached with Charter Square shopping center. If not, classrooms will be added on
existing school sites. All
middle school gyms will be
replaced with new facilities. There will added classrooms at George Hall and
Sunnybrae elementary
schools. Whether the
details will be dened
before the vote is
unknown.
The most pressing current need is for additional
classrooms in Foster City.
While the Foster City
Council has been quite
insistent that a new school
is necessary, they havent
been too helpful in working with the district to pin
down the right spot. In these property negotiations, its
the city which has the power to call the shots. Neighbors
objected to previous identied locations. So in 2013, the
district decided to rebuild Bowditch Middle School. That
didnt meet with the approval of San Mateo voters who
saw little in the last Measure P to improve conditions in
San Mateos old schools. But thats history.
Now the district has spent a year working with communities in both cities to nd the right mix of improvements
important to San Mateo and Foster City parents and voters. One discordant note came from Foster City
Councilman Herb Perez who, speaking as an individual,
asked the board to delay putting the bond on the
November ballot. Not clear what that would accomplish
especially for Foster City students. If the council wants to
be helpful, they should be working with the district to
nalize a deal with Charter Square or support the other
alternatives. There are rumors that there are still a group
in Foster City who would like Foster City to have its own
school district. Severance would have to go to a vote of
the entire district San Mateo and Foster City. And if a
split was approved (doubtful since San Mateo has more
votes), Foster City residents would still have to pay San
Mateo for the capital projects in Foster City paid for by
San Mateo taxpayers. Why a desire by some for a separate
district? Foster City test scores are high. The community
is ethnically but not economically diverse. Foster Citys
population is approximately 45 percent Caucasian and 45
percent Asian. Meanwhile, San Mateos is 56 percent
Caucasian, 20 percent Latino and 15 percent Asian. And
its citizens run the gamut from the very rich to the very
poor. Instead of asking for delays, the Foster City Council
should be doing a better job of helping the district secure
the appropriate place for a new school or added classrooms.
***
What really pleases me is the inclusion of a neighborhood school in North Central. At long last! In the 1980s,
the neighborhood lost its elementary school, Lawrence,
because of seismic safety concerns, and its middle school,
Turnbull, during declining enrollment. For years, North
Central parents have asked for a neighborhood school
rather than having their children bused all over San
Mateo. What started out as a way to integrate schools has
over time created a lost connection between North Central
parents and their childrens school. Joy Addison and her
colleagues at St. Barts Catholic Church in San Mateo
have been working with North Central parents on these
concerns. They lobbied effectively for a school to restore
the connection between parents and their neighborhood.
School board Trustee Ed Coady would like to see the new
school specialize in early literacy for kindergarten
through second-grade. Most of the children come from
homes where Spanish is the spoken language. Such an
emphasis would prepare them for third-grade classes in all
subjects. Early learning is now recognized as the most
important route to boost student achievement. Hopefully,
Coadys idea will gain traction. With small classes, more
time at school, and volunteer tutors, the new school could
provide its students a head start and a big lift.
***
This time around, the district, the trustees and the Next
Steps Committee, have done their homework. They listened to concerns from the cities, the schools, parents,
grandparents, businesses and citizens at large. The community has spoken. Now, its time for everyone to get
behind this measure.

Retiring boomers selling to top workers


By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK As retiring baby


boomers look to sell the small
businesses they have run for
years, top employees are often
becoming the boss.
The new owners are likely to be
general managers, chief operating
officers or foremen who have
worked for the company for many
years and have the savvy to run
the business well.
Between them, Chris Goodrich
and Les Korsos have nearly 25
years at Ewing Sports, a company
that sells soccer uniforms to
school and other teams. Goodrich,
the general manager, and Korsos,
the sales manager, closed a deal
for the Ewing, New Jersey-based
company in July.

Wed always talked about and


were working toward this as an
ultimate goal, says Goodrich,
who has known Korsos since they
were in high school and played
soccer together.
More employees are becoming
owners as sales of small businesses surge. Sales are up 60 percent
since 2012, with retiring baby
boomers driving the momentum,
according to BizBuySell.com, an
online marketplace for companies. While there arent numbers
showing how many companies are
sold to employees, commercial
attorneys see an increase. Twenty
percent of the sales handled by
Summit, New Jersey law firm
Olender Feldman are to employees, up from a few percentage
points a decade ago, says
Managing Partner Kurt Olender.

Jeremy Spence bought The


Laptop Guy earlier this year after
working at the computer sales and
repair business for more than a
decade.
I love being able to be the
owner and all the perks that go
with it but there is that greater
sense of responsibility that you to
learn to deal with, Spence says.
Spence now gets to make all the
decisions for the Gahanna, Ohiobased company. Soon after he
bought the company he had to find
a new warehouse and move the
business. He decided to make other
changes, like picking out a new
logo.
There have been nights when he
had trouble sleeping because he
was so wired. But owning the company has also made his life easier
he can leave early to pick his

son up from school without having to ask for permission.


Selling companies to trusted
employees can give retiring owners peace of mind that the business
will thrive. Spence was the ideal
candidate for The Laptop Guy, former co-owner Tonya Feit says.
I knew that by him buying it, I
was putting it in hands that are
going to grow it and give it everything it needed, she says.
Selling to an employee can
make a transaction easier than
with an outside buyer. The process
is faster because the employee usually needs to do less due diligence
a prospective buyers inspection of a companys books and
evaluation of its operations.
Employees whove had key
position with companies for at
least five years are likely to win

the confidence of lenders, says


Erik Daniels, a small business
executive with U. S. Bancorp.
Thats particularly true today,
when the employees have helped
guide companies during and after
the recession.
Theyve been through challenging economic times. They
understand the decisions that need
to be made, Daniels says.
If an employee doesnt have
experience in all facets of the
business, banks will ask about the
qualifications of the rest of the
management team, says Ken
Connell, a small business executive at Huntington Bancshares
Inc.
Banks may require all top managers to be part owners.
They need to have some skin in
the game, Connell says.

Backpage ad site: Aider of traffickers or way to stop them?


By Martha Irvine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO The adult ads on


Backpage.com are endless written in a sort of risque code to avoid
implying something illegal, yet
still obvious invitations for sex,
adorned with suggestive photos
and videos. Many in the fight
against sex trafficking loathe the
website, particularly since some
escorts in the ads have turned out
to be minors whove been forced
into the sex trade.
An Illinois sheriff is among
those targeting Backpage and
recently helped convince Visa and
Mastercard to stop providing payment services to the site.
Whoever it is thats facilitating these horrible crimes, we cant
just sit back and say, Well, thats
OK. I guess its a business
model, said Thomas Dart, the
sheriff in Cook County, Illinois,
which includes Chicago.
He spoke to the Associated
Press the day before a judge issued
a restraining order, preventing
Dart from making further comment until a Backpage lawsuit
against him seeking a retraction of his statements to credit

card companies and damages for


lost revenue is resolved.
Meanwhile, Backpage, with headquarters in Dallas and a parent corporation in Amsterdam, has continued to operate, allowing users
to place free basic ads in its adult
category.
Backpage attorneys, citing the
First Amendment and federal
statutes, argue that a public figure
shouldnt be allowed to interfere
with a law-abiding companys
ability to do e-commerce.
Liz McDougall, general counsel, has long said that Backpage
simply provides space for the ads
but doesnt create the content. And
she takes it a step further, claiming that Backpage routinely
works behind the scenes with law
enforcement to help put traffickers behind bars.
When it comes to fighting sex
trafficking, I am a true believer
that this is one of the most valuable tools there is on the
Internet, said McDougall, whos
based in Los Angeles.
At least one anti-trafficking
group has been willing to work
with Backpage to rescue young
women and has accepted substantial donations from the site.

And even as some in law


enforcement point a finger of
blame at Backpage, others on the
front lines of the fight against sex
trafficking see the site as an ally
even if sometimes uncomfortably so.
I dont feel like demonizing
them is the appropriate response.
I feel like we should be working
with them and focusing on . . .
things that could make a difference, said Sgt. Grant Snyder, the
lead detective on the human trafficking team at the Minneapolis
Police Department.
Like officials in other big-city
departments, he confirms that he
regularly gets information directly from Backpage that helps convict traffickers and rescue victims.
It helps us recover more victims.
It helps us recover them sooner.
Dart says the help hardly justifies the crush of ads the site creates.
He estimated that the company,
in April alone, published more
than 1.4 million adult services ads
and made at least $9 million.
Some ads are posted by sex
workers such as Grace Marie, a
dominatrix in Los Angeles who
tweeted recently to complain

about Darts campaign.


As a system, Backpage is
decidedly anti-pimp. It creates a
direct and easy-to-use interface
between providers and clients,
Grace Marie said when contacted
by the AP.
She uses her first and middle
names in her work and asked that
her last name not be used, citing
safety concerns and the fact that
her work is illegal.
The bigger concern among law
enforcement, however, is sex trafficking.
Victims are not always, as many
think, women or children smuggled in from foreign countries to
work as sex slaves. Police say sex
trafficking is as much a homegrown crime with victims who
could be from just around the corner, controlled by pimps with
drugs and alcohol or threats.
Its critics claim that Backpage
helps promote this illegal trade.
How is it possibly legal to
help pimps sell kids? Since when
is that legal in the United States of
America? asked Erik Bauer, an
attorney in Tacoma, Washington,
who is representing four young
women in a lawsuit against
Backpage. They are seeking dam-

ages from the site because their


convicted traffickers used it to sell
them to johns when they were 7th
and 9th graders.
Besides providing law enforcement with information about who
posts an ad, McDougall says that
Backpage employees watch the
sites content closely and send
suspicious ads to the National
Center for Missing & Exploited
Children.
In March, for instance, police in
Panama City, Florida, arrested two
Illinois men Dashawn Taylor
and Kevin Dante Finley and
charged them with procuring a
minor for prostitution. Police
found the two men with a 16-yearold girl at a Panama City hotel
after Backpage reported an ad with
a photo of an underage girl to
NCMECs sexual exploitation
CyberTipline.
Still, NCMECs top online
analysis expert said Backpage
could do more to stop repeat ads,
for instance.
Mere reporting has fallen
short, said Staca Shehan, executive director of the centers case
analysis division, which oversees
the organizations child sex trafficking team.

FAA: Software update may


have caused malfunction

WASHINGTON A technical problem at


an air traffic control center in Virginia that
caused hundreds of flights to be delayed or
canceled along a large swath of the East
Coast was possibly caused by a software
upgrade, according to a statement from the
Federal Aviation Administration on Sunday.
The FAA said the upgrade was designed to
provide more tools for controllers, but that
the new features have been disabled while
the systems contractor completes an
assessment of the malfunction.
There were roughly 492 delays and 476
cancellations related to the technical problem, the agency said, which resulted in
about 70 percent of normal Saturday air traffic
at
the
Baltimore-Washington
International Airport, 72 percent at Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport and
88 percent at Dulles International Airport.
Part of the backlog was the result of a decision to reduce arrival and departure rates in
the Washington area between 11 a.m. and 4
p.m. on Saturday for safety reasons.
Flights departing from Newark Liberty
International Airport in New Jersey and
John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports in
New York that normally flight over the

Washington region as they head southward


were also affected, although the FAA had
said it was trying to route the flights around
the affected area.
The FAA initially blamed the problem on
technical issues at an air traffic control center in Leesburg, Virginia. About 4 p.m., the
agency said the problem had been resolved,
and that officials were working to lift any
remaining orders to hold planes on the
ground. By midafternoon, 50 percent of
inbound flights and 42 percent of outbound
flights had been canceled at Reagan National,
and delays were averaging about three hours,
according to FlightRadar24. In Baltimore, 58
percent of inbound flights and 36 of outbound
flights were canceled, and delays were averaging more than an hour.
Information posted by the agency
Saturday suggested the problem was with
the En Route Automation Modernization
computer system, known as ERAM, at the
Leesburg Center. The agency confirmed that
the upgrade was to this computer system,
however there is no indication that the
problem is related to any inherent problems
with
the
En
Route
Automation
Modernization system, which has had a
greater than 99.99 availability rate since it
was completed nationwide earlier this year.

Its a pretty big day, he means a lot to the
organization, Bumgarner said. Its really
neat for the Giants to bring guys like that
back. Its really special.
Hunter Pence also homered as the playoffcontending Giants finished off a four-game
sweep, outscoring the Nationals 28-12.
Washington matched its longest skid of
the season. A popular pick before opening

fell below .500 at 58-59.
Weve played terrible the last 15 or 16
games and we faced one of the best today,
Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman

said. He might be the best in the bigs right


now.
Bumgarner (14-6) held the Nats hitless
into the fifth inning. The World Series MVP
matched his career high for strikeouts while
pitching his first shutout of the year and
fourth overall in the regular season.
He did it all. Thats an impressive outing
with how hot it was, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. That was an old-school type
game; starter goes nine was fitting. Marichal
did it so many times. Bumgarner, thats backto-back for him.

The last time University of Oregon lefthander Matt Krook pitched in front of a
hometown crowd was at Stanford on March
28, 2014.
The high-profile San Mateo native out of
St. Ignatius fired seven innings, allowing
one run on two hits in Oregons eventual 21 extra-inning loss at Sunken Diamond. But
it was to be the last time a healthy Krook
would walk off a collegiate mound since.
Krooks next outing came eight days later
at the University of Washington. After
experiencing discomfort in his throwing
elbow while warming up in the bullpen, he
was removed in the third inning with what
was diagnosed as a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament, which would ultimately require
season-ending surgery.
My arm was hurting pretty bad, Krook
said. You always hold on to hope that I didnt
tear anything. But they ran some tests as
soon as I got off the field and they were pretty
confident that I had in fact torn my UCL.
On April 22, 2014, Krook underwent
Tommy John surgery. He missed the entire
2015 season, claiming a medical redshirt.
But just three weeks after his Ducks were
eliminated from the NCAA Regional
Tournament in Springfield, Missouri, Krook
was back on the bump, debuting for the
Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League.
Through six appearances on the rehab
assignment, Krook posted inflated number
with a 0-1 record and a 6.35 ERA. He only
endured two bad outings though.
I feel like I was really hit or miss this
summer, Krook said. I think its just the
more I throw the better it will get.
Krook made a quick impression on the most
prestigious summer collegiate league in the
nation though, firing two shutout innings in
his June 22 debut. Working with what Wareham
pitching coach Jim Lawler called high-velocity, swing-and-miss stuff, Krook was on an
abbreviated 40-pitch limit per outing.
The first [outing], of course, was the best
because he was fresh, Lawler said. He came
out and threw unbelievable the first time

Recovering from 2014 Tommy John surgery, University of Oregon left-hander Matt Krook
rehabbed with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League this summer. The two-time
All-WCAL pitcher out of St. Ignatius is poised to return to the Ducks rotation in 2016.

SAN FRANCISCO Even a day later,


hype surrounded Jarryd Haynes impressive
first NFL action for the San Francisco 49ers.
The former Australian rugby league star
broke open a 53-yard run early in the second
quarter of a 23-10 loss at Houston on
Saturday night. He had
five carries for 63 yards, a
33-yard kickoff return
and a pair of punt returns
totaling 24 yards.
None of this means a
thing when it comes to
whether the 27-year-old
rookie will make the 53man roster out of training
Jarryd Hayne camp, which would still
be a surprise. A spot on the practice squad
has long seemed most likely, yet Hayne is
certainly doing his part to make an impact.
Im not as shocked that Jarryd was able to
field punts and run or field kicks and run, or
that Jarryd was able to see creases and take
them and then get into the open field and a
void. Ive seen him do all those things,
coach Jim Tomsula said Sunday.
Ive watched a lot of film on Jarryd Hayne
playing rugby. The things that excite me
about Jarryd Hayne are the things that weve
got to stay on, is when you get into those
tighter quarters and seeing those little creases. Thats where the improvement is.
Hayne spent the past nine years from
2006-14 with the Parramatta Eels of the
Australian National Rugby League before
giving up that career to chase a new, drastically different one across the globe.
Only recently did he take his first NFL hit
in pads early on in training camp. Taking
that to game speed can be a major adjustment.
Obviously, it was a huge step for me and
even before the game I was pretty calm,
Hayne said. It was in the warmup when I

Record-breaking Day wins PGA Championship title


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. A year of major


heartache ended with Jason Day breaking
through in a major way Sunday at the PGA
Championship.
With at least a share of the 54-hole lead for
the third straight major, Day never gave
Jordan Spieth or anyone else much of a
chance at Whistling Straits. He closed with a
5-under 67 for a three-shot victory and broke
Tiger Woods major championship record for

most strokes under par by finishing at 20


under.
In tears before tapping in for par, Day
hugged his son and wife and then Spieth,
who earned a small consolation prize with
his runner-up finish. Spieth moved to No. 1
in the world, ending the one-year reign of
Rory McIlroy.
I didnt expect I was going to cry, Day
said. A lot of emotion has come out because
Ive been so close so many times and fallen
short. To be able to play the way I did today,
especially with Jordan in my group, I could

tell that he was the


favorite. Just to be able
to finish the way I did
was amazing.
What a journey for the
27-year Australian.
He understood hard
times as a youth when
his father died of cancer
when Day was 12. For all
Jason Day
his talent, he was questioned for winning only one tournament in
five years on the PGA Tour. With a share of

the lead at the U.S. Open and British Open,


he had to watch someone else celebrate.
Not on this day. Not even close.
Day started the final round with a two-shot
lead and no one got any closer than that the
entire day. His lone shaky moment came at
the end of the front nine, when he made his
first bogey on No. 8 and then chunked a
wedge from the fairway on No. 9. But he saved
par with an 8-foot putt and was on his way.
And he knew it at the end.

As hammered in Baltimore,
Os looking to sweep Monday
By David Ginsburg

Monday Aug. 17, 2015

WORLD HISTORY

Orioles 18, As 2

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE Bob Melvin


gathered his As squad together in a
closed clubhouse meeting to discuss
some of the low points of Sundays
18-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
We had a little meeting, Melvin
said. We havent had too many of
those (lopsided losses). Youre
going to have some during the
course of the season; sometimes it
ends up exposing some things that
need to be talked about.
The pitching was awful, the
offense ineffective and the defense
porous. Although Oakland was not
charged with an error, a few balls
dropped between two players who
appeared uncertain who was supposed to catch them.
At times guys were having a hard
time seeing the ball off the bat,
Melvin said. Some of the jumps in
the outfield would suggest that they
didnt see it right away.
The Orioles tied a franchise record
with 26 hits. The barrage began
against Kendall Graveman (6-9), who
allowed six runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Homers by Gerardo Parra and
Adam Jones off Graveman helped
put Baltimore up 6-1 in the third,
and a nine-run, 10-hit fifth erased
any lingering suspense.
The As ran through five pitchers
before turning to first baseman Ike
Davis, who threw a scoreless eighth
in taking the mound for the second
time this season.
Baltimore will try for a sweep on
Monday night. The Orioles
havent swept a four-game series
from Oakland since 1987 and have
never accomplished the feat in
Baltimore.
Facing the As, who own the ALs
worst record, has enhanced
Baltimores playoff chances. By
going 5-1 against the As this
month, the Orioles have moved
within four games of the Yankees in

Brewers minor leaguer says hes gay


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE A Milwaukee
Brewers minor leaguer has
become the first openly gay player on a team affiliated with Major
League Baseball.
David Denson, with the help of
former major leaguer Billy Bean,
reached out to the Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel to tell his story.
The 20-year-old first baseman
plays for the Helena Brewers in
the rookie Pioneer League. Bean,
MLBs first Ambassador for
Inclusion, disclosed he is gay
after his playing career.
Talking with my teammates,

they gave me
the confidence
I needed, coming out to
them, Denson
told the newspaper. They
said, Youre

Raiders WR Rod Streater returns to practice


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA When Rod Streater went down with


a season-ending broken foot last September,
he left behind a wide receiver group on the
Oakland Raiders that was extremely thin.
The position group Streater joined Sunday
when he practiced for the first time this training camp is appreciably deeper following the
offseason additions of Amari Cooper and
Michael Crabtree. That has turned Streater
from the No. 1 option to a player looking to
solidify the role of third receiver on the
Raiders offense this season.
Its exciting, Streater said. It pushes me
harder to come back. Its exciting to see them
work hard on offense and be successful. Its a
good group of receivers.
It just got better with the addition of Streater,
who was taken off the non-football illness list
Sunday. Streater said he had been feeling sick
since the end of the offseason program in June,
but said doctors still dont know what is
wrong.
Streater said he lost a bit of weight while
recovering but feels back to normal again and
was able to pass his conditioning test to get
back on the practice field.

Steelers LB James Harrison
wants to return sons trophies
PITTSBURGH Steelers linebacker
James Harrison doesnt expect a trophy just
for showing up. The same goes for his sons.
The 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the
Year took to Instagram on Saturday to say
he was returning two awards his sons
received from a local athletics event run by
former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch.
Harrison wrote while hes very proud of
his two boys these trophies will be given

KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS

Rod Streater, who led the Raiders with 888 receiving yards in 2013, is contending for the third
receiver role with the off-season additions of Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.
He looks good, coach Jack Del Rio said.
He looks fresh. ... Good to see him back out
there.
Streater had been one of Oaklands most reliable receivers since signing as an undrafted

free agent out of Temple in 2012. He caught 39


passes for 584 yards as a rookie and then led
the team in receiving with 60 catches for 888
yards and four scores in 2013. He missed the
final 13 games last season with a broken foot.

Hayne has shown no signs that he underwent minor foot surgery when he went back
home to Australia after the teams mandatory June minicamp.
Last year, he gave up his rugby career to

Streater was Oaklands leading receiver in


2013 with 60 catches for 888 yards and four
touchdowns.
But he broke his foot in the third game of the
season last year and did not return. Now he has
to earn his way back into the rotation with a
new coaching staff.
Cooper, the fourth overall pick in the draft,
and free-agent acquisition Crabtree give
Oakland its best pair of starting wideouts in at
least a decade. The Raiders have not had a
1,000-yard receiver since Randy Moss did it in
2005 with Jerry Porter by his side.
Kenbrell Thompkins had been working as
the third receiver for most of camp, and Andre
Holmes and Brice Butler each caught touchdown passes in the exhibition opener. Former
practice squader Seth Roberts has also
impressed this summer, giving the Raiders
needed depth at the position.
Streater worked his way back into the mix
on Sunday and said he didnt feel like all the
time off hampered him.
Its not hard, he said. I was in there working hard with the quarterbacks, trying to learn
the plays and not missing a step. I was out here
trying to get mental reps. It wasnt like I
missed a step. Its just the conditioning part of
the game I have to get used to again.
do well and not make any mistakes, Hayne
said. That was probably the biggest
thing.
Another rookie, third-string quarterback
Dylan Thompson, completed 4 of 6 passes
for 15 yards with an interception. Tomsula
said the Niners struggled to find continuity
during that stretch.
A lot of times offensively and defensively in the later part of the third and even into
the fourth quarter, we looked like popcorn,
the coach said. We were popping all over
the place. Instead of one continuous pop, it
was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. You cant
play at all that way. Everybodys got to be

Bishop savors All-American experience

Braden Bishop a San Carlos

better part of a
month for the

affiliate Everett
AquaSox of the

Since being
Braden Bishop drafted in the
third round by the Mariners out of

earned a spot at the top of the
AquaSox batting order by tabbing a
.313 batting average.
After a dreadful pro debut in which
he hit just .211 through June, the
center fielder with a reputation for
sterling defense has thrived at the
plate. In July, he hit .299. So far
through August, he has hit .484,

As the Kenny Loggins classic


Danger Zone blared over the loudspeaker, Hunter Bishop took the
field as the starting center fielder
Saturday at the Under Armour AllAmerican Game.
Bishop jogged to his position

10,000-plus in attendance at
Chicagos Wrigley Field, with one
recurring thought going through
his mind.
I was thinking, am I really
here? Bishop said.
It was a reasonable thought for
Bishop, who Monday begins his
senior year at Serra. As a transfer
from St. Francis last year, the twosport athlete had to sit out portions
of both the football and baseball
seasons. As a result, he flew under
the radar by not earning West
Catholic Athletic League postseason accolades in either sport.
In June, however, while working
the Next Level Serra Camp for future
Padres, Bishop received a phone
call from Steve Bernhardt, the vice
president of baseball operations for

50 of the top amateur players in the


nation to participate in the event.
Honestly, I was so excited,
Bishop said. I didnt really believe
it at first because thats just a crazy
situation.
Just one week after participating
in the Area Code Games in Long
Beach from Aug. 4-9 with the
Oakland As Area Code team along
with locals Andrew Daschbach
(Sacred Heart Prep) and Andrew
Martinez (St. Francis) Bishop
was one of just three players from
California to play in the AllAmerican Game. He joined
Monterey shortstop Carter Aldrete
nephew of Oakland As bench
coach Mike Aldrete and Elk
Grove first baseman Dylan Carlson.
The players arrived in Chicago
Thursday and reported to Wrigley
Field Friday for batting practice.
The heavily scouted event was even
more meaningful to Bishop than
most. Not only was it his first time
ever setting foot in Wrigley Field.
The 6-4, 190-pound left-handed hitter has yet to make a college commitment. He said he has offers from
several schools, but is taking his
time making a choice.

Batting practice was awesome, Bishop said. The first


round I was just getting loose
but the second and third rounds I
was getting the ball up the gaps
and even hit a few out.
Bishops refined swing carried
over into Saturdays game.
Playing for the National squad, he
went 1 for 3 with a single to right
field and a run scored. He would
have had two hits on the day if not
for an exceptional play by
American left fielder Keenan Bell.
In his initial second-inning atbat, Bishop worked the count to 3-1
before sending a long drive into the
left-field corner. Only a sweet diving catch by Bell out of
Jacksonville, Florida prevented
Bishop from going for extra bases.
I hit it great, Bishop said. It
was a fastball up and away, and I put
a good swing on it. I think the [left
fielder] just made a nice catch out
there to take the hit away.
National went on to win the game
11-5, with catcher Andy Yerzy out of
Toronto capturing MVP honors.
It was definitely some of the
greatest days of my life, Bishop
said.

didnt end up mattering. But I would


have thrown if we had gotten farther.
A two-time All-WCAL first-team
pitcher at St. Ignatius, Krook carried that success into his first
eight starts at Oregon prior to his
injury, notching a 2-1 record with
a 1.79 ERA, striking out 60 over
45 1/3 innings of work.
Now, after rehabbing on the

Cape, Krook is intent on returning


for the start of the 2016 season.
As a redshirt sophomore, Krook
will be eligible for the 2016 draft.
And if and when he gets back to
full strength, the sky is the limit
for the dominant lefty.
If he stays healthy, he is a special
talent, Lawler said. And thats what
this summer was, starting pushing
and get ready for [next] season.

With a three-shot lead on the

onto the green, bit his lower lip
and swatted longtime coach and
caddie Colin Swatton in the arm.
That two-putt birdie took him to
20 under, and two pars sealed the
victory.
Woods finished at 19 under when
he won the 2000 British Open at

Spieth was chasing history
again Woods and Ben Hogan are
the only two players to win three

the Masters and U.S. Open champion had a tougher time chasing
Day.
The 22-year-old Texan missed a
pair of birdie putts early on the

GYM

elegant pommel horse routine in


the opening round on Friday. He
appeared to be in the process of
doing it again when he lost momentum and strength during his dismount. His hands came off the
horse and Yoders head hit the mat
well before the rest of his body. The
arena fell silent before Yoder managed to get up and walk away,
though his 13.950 was nowhere
close to his best.
Honestly, I wish I knew what
happened, Yoder said. Its just
one of those freak accidents you
cant control.
While Mikulak is easily the top
American he cruised through his
final five events to rob the proceedings of any actual drama the
group behind him is crowded.
Whittenburg also locked up a world
spot and his 16.1 on still rings

would be good enough for the podium if he can duplicate it in


Scotland. After that, national team
coordinator Kevin Mazeika can mix
and match.
Brooks managed to avoid the
mishaps on high bar and ended up
throwing himself into conversation for the world team in the
process. The 28-year-old, an alternate on the 2012 U.S. Olympic
team, has spent most of the last
three years battling a series of
injuries. He was one of the few to
escape high bar unscathed, his
15.750 good enough to win gold
on the event and serve notice hes
not quite done yet.
I looked up when Leyva fell,
looked up when Paul fell and I said
Just stay on the bar, dont do anything special, just stay on the
bar, Brooks said.

eight majors. He took it back. He

Spieth set a record of his own.
By closing with a 68, he set a
record by playing the four majors
in 54-under par, breaking by one
the mark that Woods set in 2000.
The difference is that Woods won
two majors by a combined 23
shots.
That also speaks to the depth of
golf in this generation, and Day is
the latest example. He moved to
No. 3 in the world, meaning the
top four in the world are all under
27 and have combined to win five
of the last six majors.
It starts with Spieth, the second-

youngest player behind Woods to


reach No. 1. Spieth got there in
his 77th start as a pro. Woods was
21 when he became No. 1 for the
first time in just his 21st tournament.
Its an unbelievable feeling,
Spieth said. So much work has
been put in. What a year its been.

had another mistake on the back
nine in a major that cost him.
Grace was tied for the lead at the
U.S. Open when he hit his tee shot
on the railroad tracks and out-ofbounds at Chambers Bay. This
time, he was two shots behind
when he went long of the 10th
green and made double bogey. He
closed with a 69 and finished
third, five shots behind.
Justin Rose got within two
shots until making a double bogey
for the third straight day. He
closed with a 70 and finished

scheme of things its not this competition that matters, Mikulak
said. Its a test event for world

Straight Outta Compton tops box office


By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The boys from


Compton smashed opening weekend expectations, while the stylish The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
struggled to find its footing.
Universals N. W. A. biopic
earned an astonishing $56.1 million in its debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Director F. Gary Grays wellreceived film charts the formation
and rise of the influential rap
group. It cost just $29 million to
produce.
N.W.A. members Dr. Dre and Ice
Cube served as producers on the
film, which has Ice Cubes real
son OShea Jackson Jr. playing
his father. Dr. Dre also released the
companion piece Compton,

his first new album in 16 years.


Nick Carpou, Universals president of domestic distribution, said
they were elated with the results.
Universal had previously predicted a very conservative $25 to $30
million opening.
It really struck a chord with
audiences. Its a story that is resonating right now, said Paul
Dergarabedian, Rentraks senior
media analyst. It was one of
those records that was an important work and a very important
expression of a particular viewpoint. To this day, that album has
so much power.
Beyond the fandom around
N.W.A. and the timeliness of the
themes, Universal also launched a
clever marketing campaign around
the film,

Weve got the best marketers in
the business and they understand
their audiences, Carpou said.
The good news here is it attaches

Star Wars themed land planned at Disney parks
ANAHEIM Disney theme parks have their sights on a
galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars is getting its own themed lands at Walt
Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in
Anaheim, California, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced at
the D23 Fan Expo on Saturday.
We are creating a jaw-dropping new world, Iger said.
The 14-acre attractions represent the largest single
themed land expansion ever.
Iger also said that the Star Wars land will be every bit as
thrilling as the films and will include attractions and entertainment in an area populated by aliens and droids. There
will also be a Cantina and the chance to take control of the
Millennium Falcon one of the signature attractions.
One adventure also promises to put guests in the middle

Authorities: 4 dead in midair


collision of small airplanes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Two small planes collided midair while approaching an airport in
southern San Diego County on Sunday,
killing at least four people and sparking
brush fires in a remote field where the
wreckage landed, authorities said.
The collision occurred around 11 a.m.
about 2 miles northeast of Brown Field
Municipal Airport, Federal Aviation
Administration spokesman Ian Gregor
said.
Both planes a twin-engine Sabreliner
jet and a single-engine Cessna 172
were approaching Brown Field, Gregor
said.
The aircraft caught fire when they hit the
ground and broke apart, said Nick Schuler,
a division chief with the California

Residents have expressed great
appreciation for the new tool, providing a quick and easy way to
report problems or make requests
of the city, he said.
Hollis also noted the app fills
the increased demand of residents
who rely on their mobile phone
for communication, rather than
using home phones or personal
computers.
This has allowed us to work
smarter, he said.
The types of issues reported, and
the location of the concerns, help
officials identify trends on problems plaguing residents, said
Hollis.

Protection.
It appears it was a very violent crash,
as you can tell by both aircraft being in
multiple pieces, Schuler said.
First responders initially reported three
fatalities, but as they inspected the wreckage which was strewn across a quarter-mile
area, they determined that at least four
people were killed, he said.
The Sabreliner crashed on a grassy
slope and the Cessna fell within the
bounds of the San Diego National Wildlife
Refuge.
Crews extinguished several brush fires
where the planes came down. One firefighter was taken to the hospital after he
suffered a heat-related injury, Schuler said.
Brown Field, a former Naval auxiliary
air station, is in the Otay Mesa area about
15 miles southeast of downtown San
Diego, near the border with Mexico.

said Hollis.
Futrell said the app has aided
officials in developing a clearer
line of communication with residents and members of the community.
This new tool has strengthened
the partnership the city enjoys
with the residents and businesses
in South San Francisco, engaging
everyone in the task of improving
our city, he said.
Though EngageSSF is designed
for mobile devices, and is available for download in the Apple app
store and through Google Play,
residents can also access it on the
citys home website using a laptop
or personal computer.

As officials continue to look for


more chances to improve the service, Hollis said in the future there
may be additional opportunities
for users to post notifications of
upcoming community or volunteer events.
He said there was an initial concern before the app was rolled out
regarding what kind of reports the
service might receive, but officials are pleased with the way it
has been used.
We see the value in it, he said.
And we think it is something the
public
enjoys
using.

BUS
Continued from page 1
ing electric buses are feasible on its
busiest route is key, said Jeff Gee,
Redwood City mayor who serves on
the SamTrans Board of Directors.
I think as the technology matures,
we need to pilot electric buses at the
right time. I was very fortunate to see
the state of technology last fall at a
transit trade show and the issue really
is how long a battery can hold a charge
and how quickly we can charge that
battery. The workhorse of our route is
of course El Camino Real and going a
long haul with a lot of starts and stops
in between, Gee said.
Harvey and Gee said SamTrans is
committed to finding sustainable transit solutions and invested in replacing
some of its outdated fleet with 25
diesel-electric hybrid buses starting in
2013. That purchase was part of a
$32. 2 million contract to buy 62
buses that were expected to save $3
million in fuel costs over 12 years,
according to SamTrans.
Of the agencys nearly 320 full-size
buses, an aging portion of its fleet is

career during his time enrolled at
University of California at Los
Angeles while teaching Spanishspeaking students living in Southern
California the power of using education to improve their opportunities
for success.
The bilingual Baker said initially it
was not his intent to stop teaching, as
directly affecting the lives of students
was work he found tremendously
rewarding.
I never envisioned myself out of
the classroom, he said. I just wanted
to work with kids.
But as he has ascended through the
administration, he said he found himself increasingly comfortable in his
ability to positively influence education opportunities for students, even
though he was not personally delivering lessons.
Baker said he jumped at the opportunity to accept a promotion from
deputy
superintendent
once
Christensen announced her intention
to retire, as leading the district was a
position he had long desired.
Ive wanted this job for a long
time, he said. Its a job come true for
me.
As he takes the reins, the immediate
task of successfully leading the district through a bond campaign on the
fall election ballot has become a top
priority, he said.
The school district is asking district

replaced about every 12 to 14 years.


The next opportunity for it to consider going electric would likely be
around 2017 if it decides to convert a
portion of the nearly 100 buses that
will need to be replaced, Harvey said.
Currently, SamTrans spends about
$2 million a year on diesel fuel for its
buses. A typical clean-diesel bus gets
about 4.25 miles per gallon while a
hybrid diesel-electric gets about 5 to
6.5 miles per gallon. Manufacturers
estimate an all-electric bus could get
between 10 to 20 miles per gallon a
huge savings that over time could
account for the initial investment in
new equipment, Harvey said.
Another startup cost would include
charging stations. There are currently
two options; one is a battery that lasts
longer but may take several hours to
charge and would likely be located at
its maintenance facilities in San
Carlos or South San Francisco, Harvey
said. The other is a battery that can
only power the large buses for a shorter distance of maybe 10 to 20 miles,
but could charge in as little as 10 to 15
minutes, Harvey said.
Either way, Harvey said he anticipates rapid advancements in this technology sector and officials will watch

to determine what are feasible alternatives for SamTrans and its varied
routes.
How long can a charge take us and
how quickly can we recharge the batteries is critical to see if electric buses
can really work on our routes, Gee
said. I dont want to design bus routes
around how long the battery lasts, I
want to design bus routes around where
people need to go.
Gee said hed like to consider starting with a pilot program along El
Camino Real as it could be the most
challenging and busiest route. With
SamTrans giving nearly 53 million
rides per year between its buses, shuttle service and Caltrain, Gee said its
critical that they continue to provide
reliable service that helps address the
regions traffic congestion.
We want high reliability, high
environmental sustainability and the
best use of public taxpayer dollars, as
we try and find the right formula to do
all that. We must be very thoughtful
and deliberate when we make that decision, Gee said, adding SamTrans
needs to make sure its reliable.
Because people are reluctant to take
public transit if they cant count on
it.

voters to pass a $193 million bond,


which will be spent to modernize campuses throughout the district, improve
aging facilities, pay for structural
upgrades and address a variety of other
demands.
The bond, which would require 55
percent of voter approval to pass,
would tax residents $30 per every
$100,000 of assessed home value on
the Nov. 3 ballot in an all-mail election.
Many of the district schools are
between 50 and 80 years old, and are
overdue for capital improvements,
which would help the district offer students a more current and advanced
learning environment, said Baker.
There are almost $400 million
worth of fixes needed for district campuses, according to a previously
approved facilities master plan, so
officials may need to pursue another
bond in the future to address all pending modernization needs.
Another challenge facing the district is the need to hire and keep the
best local teaching talent, which is
becoming increasingly difficult
amidst a booming local economy that
continues to drive housing prices
higher across San Mateo County, said
Baker.
Baker said the district has developed
a network of employees and associates
focused on finding affordable housing
opportunities for teachers and staff
members.
Principals at district schools have
offered vacant rooms in their homes to
teachers struggling to pay their rent,
while other teachers who leave the
area for extended periods of time are

renting their homes to colleagues at


rates which they know are affordable
for other educators, said Baker.
He said the housing crisis is having
a profound impact on the lives of
teachers and other staff throughout the
district.
We are dealing with it on a daily
basis, he said.
But the support network that has
developed as a response to the challenges facing members of the district
is one of the reasons Baker has loved
working in Redwood City.
Redwood City is so family oriented, he said. Its refreshing, people
will look out for each other.
Building deeper connections with
the community is another of Bakers
goals, and he continuously looks for
partnerships with organizations
which the district can collaborate with
to develop more services for students
and families.
He worked closely with Mark
Zuckerbergs Startup:Education foundation last year, and landed $1 million
in grant funding which was used to
revitalize district schools and purchase new iPads for students and families.
Despite state funding levels for public school districts improving recently, there is still need for the district to
find creative opportunities to improve
education opportunities in Redwood
City, said Baker.
And his belief in the success of the
district he has served for so long continues to be unwavering.
We are the little engine that goes,
and goes, and goes, he said. We can
do it, and we will do it.

ANSWERS

MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 2015


LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An unexpected bill will
throw you off-course. Resist the urge to splurge.
Think about your future security before you go into
debt. A long-term investment will pay off.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take some time for rest
and relaxation. You will feel better if you tie up a few
loose ends. Complete projects rather than starting
something new. Research is encouraged.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A change is on the
horizon. Before you take on a new opportunity,
make sure you are up for the additional
responsibilities that go along with it.

WEEKENDS PUZZLE SOLVED

Each row and each column must contain the


numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.
The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes,
called cages, must combine using the given operation
(in any order) to produce the target numbers in the
top-left corners.
Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in
the top-left corner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Dont let anxiety or


self-doubt prevent you from moving forward. If you
write down your qualications and strengths, it will
help you improve your self-esteem. A promising
opportunity is waiting for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Finish what
you start. If you are faced with a problem, keep
asking questions until you get the information you
need. Assuming you have all the answers will lead
to a costly mistake.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Networking is
just as important personally as it is professionally.
Interacting with a diverse group of people will be
educational and rewarding. Someone you meet will
play a role in your future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A love connection will


confuse you. Go over your personal papers and bring
them up to date. Trouble will surface if you fall behind
or neglect to keep up with changing economic trends.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Someone from your
past will resurface. Do what you can to help others.
Your sympathetic and caring nature will be a comfort
to those in unfortunate circumstances.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Spending too
much time at work will cause problems in your
personal relationships. Take something that youve
mastered and enjoy doing and consider starting
your own business.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Start a project youve
been contemplating. You will have everyone eating

out of your hand if you present what you are doing


colorfully. Enjoy the positive energy that surrounds you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Minor upgrades at home
will increase your comfort. Stretching the truth or
embellishing the facts will lead to trouble. Avoid the
temptation to repeat unsubstantiated rumors or gossip.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your reputation and
popularity are on the rise. Because of your honesty
and good judgment, you will be called upon to mediate
arguments and assist others with their problems.

Is Surgery the Answer?


It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries.
When considering your options, ask yourself this question ...If there is a
solution to back pain that doesnt require surgery, is it worth exploring?

Before you consider surgery consider these points

The Solution: The DRT Method, (Disc Restoration Therapy)


The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional
Support, Exercise Rehabilitation.
The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy


Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.

Why Bay Area Disc Centers?


Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC and his team have vast experience in treating
patients suffering from moderate to severe disc disease.
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC is Certied by and is also part of the Disc
Centers of America Team who are a national group of doctors that
have gone through extensive training that follow the protocols set up
by The International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, and follows the protocols set forward by Dr. Norman Shealy the
Honorary Chairman, former Harvard professor, and probably the most
published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.
