The environmental activist group
Surfrider Foundation succeeded Wednesday
in its hotly contested case to compel the
billionaire owner of Martins Beach to
reopen his property to the public until the
California Coastal Commission permits
otherwise.
San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge
Barbara Mallach handed
down her tentative ruling
in the case siding with
Surfriders assertions
that closing the beach to
the public altered the
lands use and violated
the California Coastal
Act by not garnering mandated permits.
However, Mallach declined to issue penal-
ties against the owner that could have
amounted to millions.
Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla bought
Martins Beach, previously open to the
public for more than 100 years, in 2008 for
$32.5 million then closed the only access
road to the public less than two years later.
Attorneys for Surfrider were elated at the
outcome of the bench trial that began May
8, but remain on guard as they anticipate
Khosla will appeal Mallachs decision all
the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Were thrilled. We think this is David
beating Goliath and it goes to show it does-
nt matter how much money you have to
throw at a problem, youre going to be held

More than 250 volunteers role-played as passengers of a crashed Boeing 767 to help rst responders practice triage,
transport and passenger reunions at San Francisco International Airport Wednesday. The drill is conducted annually at
SFO, despite that federal regulations only require airports to hold such a drill every three years.SFO was the site of a deadly
plane crash last year when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 struck a seawall while trying to land at the airport.The crash on July
6, 2013, injured more than 180 people and led to the deaths of three teenage girls, one of whom was run over and killed
by San Francisco reghters responding to the scene.

Teachers in the San Carlos Elementary
School District are expressing frustration
over the nine months of negotiations with
the district over their contracts, but the dis-
trict says the process took longer because of
a new state budgeting mechanism and the
teachers own delay.
Although the district reached a tentative
agreement for the contract Aug. 27 for a 2
percent raise and $2,000 increases for
health and welfare benets over one- and
two-year periods, teachers returned to
school for the new 2014-15 school year
with the salary and health and welfare pack-
age for the previous year, and class sizes for
the current year, still unresolved. The

Rescued turtle heading
to new home in San Diego
MARATHON, Fla. A loggerhead
sea turtle named Sapphire is getting
ready for a cross-country trip on
Thursday to a permanent home in
Southern California after convalescing
for more than a year at the Florida Keys-
based Turtle Hospital.
Final preparations were being made
Wednesday for the 2,500-mile journey
to The Living Coast Discovery Center
near San Diego.
The 129-pound subadult female can-
not be released in the wild because she
cant submerge without the two pounds
of weights that are attached with epoxy
to its carapace. As the turtle continues
to grow, the weights will eventually fall
off and new weights will need to be
installed.
She has bubble butt syndrome,
said Turtle Hospital manager Bette
Zirkelbach. She is unable to evacuate
air from her lungs due to a spinal cord
injury, so unfortunately for Sapphire,
she is nonreleasable.
The turtle was rst rescued in February
2010 with a wound that came from a
boat strike, Zirkelbach said. She was
treated for 45 days at the hospital and
freed after appearing to be fully recov-
ered. But in May 2013, she was found
oating again off the Keys.
Soon after, state wildlife ofcials
deemed the turtle needed a forever
home.
Zirkelbach said Sapphire is the only
one of the 1,400 turtles the hospital has
treated and freed in the past 28 years to
return.
To monitor the turtles health and
comfort, Zirkelbach and hospital
founder Richie Moretti will accompany-
ing the turtle on FedEx ights from
Miami to Memphis and then on to San
Diego.
Although Sapphire cant be
returned to the wild, the good news is
that she will be able to act as an ambas-
sador for her species, the endangered sea
turtles, Zirkelbach said.
Boston time capsule
believed found in lion statue
BOSTON Atime capsule apparent-
ly has been found in an unusual place:
the head of a lion statue at the building
that once served as the seat of
Massachusetts government.
The Bostonian Society, which oper-
ates a museum at the Old State House,
said Tuesday it conrmed the presence
of what had long been rumored to be a
time capsule from 1901 tucked away
inside the copper statue. The statue was
recently taken down from the roof as
part of a restoration effort.
Aber optic camera was used to locate
the time capsule in actuality a copper
box in the head of the lion, accord-
ing to Heather Leet, the societys direc-
tor of development. The next steps, she
said, will include an attempt to carefully
open the statue without damaging it,
followed by the removal of the box and
examination of its contents.
The group rst learned of the poten-
tial existence of the time capsule sever-
al years ago from a woman who was a
descendent of the original sculptor.
She had a letter from him and a list of
things in the time capsule, said Leet.
The society did some further research
and uncovered a 1901 article about the
time capsule in The Boston Globe, she
said.
Newspaper clippings and photo-
graphs from the period, along with let-
ters from politicians and other promi-
nent Bostonians of the era, are among
the items expected to be found in the
box, which could be opened as early as
next week.
Were really looking forward to see-
ing what those letters say, said Leet,
adding that they could contain mes-
sages written to future generations.
The Old State House, among Bostons
most popular tourist attractions, has a
storied history. It was one of the citys
most important civic buildings in colo-
nial times and later became a focal point
of the American Revolution.
The Boston Massacre took place just
outside the building in 1770. In 1776,
the Declaration of Independence was
read to Bostonians from the balcony.
After the war of independence, the build-
ing served as the rst seat of
Massachusetts government until con-
struction of the current Statehouse in
the late 18th century.

Armed carjacker
crashes car, flees
ARedwood City resident was carjacked at
gunpoint Saturday by a man who stole a car
then crashed it less than a block away.
The driver, a 27-year-old man, and pas-
senger, a 43-year-old Menlo Park resident,
were driving when they stopped at 17th
Avenue and Page Street around 8 p.m.,
according to police Lt. Sean Hart.
The suspect walked up to victims 2004
Mercedes Benz SUV and smashed the rear
window with a tire iron, according to
police. The carjacker pointed a handgun at
the driver and ordered him out of the car,
Hart said. He then drove the car about a
half block before crashing into another
parked car and fleeing on foot, Hart said.
The suspect is described as Hispanic,
about 5 feet 8 inches tall and was wearing
a dark mask, baggy pants and sweatshirt.
Two arrested after police
find mail from six cities in car
Two people on probation have been
arrested after Palo Alto police found bags
of U.S. mail addressed to residences and a
business, personal checks stolen from a
mailbox and burglary tools, police said
Wednesday.
Shawn Michael McCourt, 28, and Julie
Ann Scott, 37, both of Hayward, were
booked into the Santa Clara County Main
Jail on suspicion of mail theft, possession
of stolen property, possession of burglary
tools and identity theft, Palo Alto police
Lt. Zach Perron said.
At about 10:50 a.m. Sunday, an officer
on patrol stopped a 1993 Ford Ranger for a
traffic violation in the
400 block of Ramona
Street in Palo Alto and
discovered the female
driver and male passen-
ger were both on active
probation for burglary
and identity theft out of
Alameda County, police
said.
Officers, based on the
suspects probation sta-
tus, searched the Ford
and recovered two bags
containing letters and
packages of U.S. Mail
addressed to residences
in Menlo Park, Redwood
Ci t y, Emerald Hills,
Woodside and Portola
Valley and a business in
Palo Alto, Perron said.
They also found several personal
checks, with other peoples personal
information on them, that had been
removed from a mailbox in Walnut Creek
in early August, according to police.
Police also recovered flashlights, a
crowbar, a hammer, pliers and other sus-
pected burglary tools, Perron said.
Investigators determined that the mail
and packages were probably stolen within
the previous 24 hours, likely from porches
or curbside mailboxes, not from home bur-
glaries, police said.
Police also booked Scott on suspicion
of a probation violation and driving with a
suspended license, Perron said.

San Mateo High
reopened after
gas line shut off
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo High School was
closed Wednesday because of
reports of a gas leak on campus,
authorities said, but the district will
reopen the school Thursday without
gas service and food will be deliv-
ered from off site.
The smell of gas was reported in
several school buildings, including
the Performing Arts Center on
Tuesday evening, according to a
joint statement by the San Mateo
Union High School District and
San Mateo police. A leak on the
premises was conrmed Wednesday
after district crews and a hired con-
tractor shut off all gas end points
locations where gas is released
while PG&E crews tested for the
source of the odor.
PG&E responded to the school,
located at 506 N. Delaware St.,
and shut off gas service as a pre-
caution, PG&E spokeswoman
Jana Morris said.
With no available hot water or
food service, all classes were can-
celed Wednesday. For the safety of
students, staff, crews and the broad-
er community, the gas lines for the
school were completely drained
before students are allowed back on
campus. School gas lines were cut
off from the main line so no gas can
enter the schools system. The
school will not have access to hot
water once the gas line is cut off.
The cafeteria will be closed and food
will be delivered to students from
off site, according to the district.
All of the schools 1,500 stu-
dents and their parents were con-
tacted by phone or email for
updates.
We understand that a gas leak
creates a lot of fear and anxiety and
we want to assure not only our fam-
ilies and staff, but the broader com-
munity that we are doing every-
thing possible to keep our school
community and broader community
safe. Safety is our top priority,
said Superintendent Scott Laurence
in a prepared statement. As there
will be no gas owing through our
school grounds, the students will
be safe and can continue their learn-
ing in a safe gas-free environment
and the surrounding community can
be assured the issue will be safely
addressed.
Any gas leak is on the schools
campus so the school district is
responsible for making the repairs
before PG&E can restore gas serv-
ice, Morris said.
Locating the exact location of
the leak will help PG&E determine
cause and how to address the issue,
said district spokeswoman Sheri
Costa-Batis.

WASHINGTON Designers of the ambi-
tious U.S. air trafc control system of the
future neglected to take drones into account,
raising questions about whether it can han-
dle the escalating demand for the unmanned
aircraft and predicted congestion in the sky.
We didnt understand the magnitude to
which (drones) would be an oncoming tidal
wave, something that must be dealt with,
and quickly, said Ed Bolton, the Federal
Aviation Administrations assistant admin-
istrator for NextGen, as the program is
called.
Congress passed legislation creating
NextGen in 2003, and directed the agency to
accommodate all types of aircraft, including
drones.
The program, which is not expected to be
completed for at least another decade, is
replacing radar and radio communications,
technologies rooted in the early 20th centu-
ry, with satellite-based navigation and digi-
tal communications.
The FAA has spent more than $5 billion
on the complex program and is nearly n-
ished installing hardware and software for
several key systems. But the further it pro-
gresses, the more difcult it becomes to
make changes.
Government and industry ofcials have
long maintained that drones must meet the
same rules that apply to manned aircraft if
they are to share the sky. That is changing,
however, said Chris Stephenson, who repre-
sents the National Air Trafc Controllers
Association on several U.S. and interna-
tional unmanned aircraft committees.

PLACERVILLE A massive blaze in
California that threatens thousands of
homes has become the second-most expen-
sive blaze to ght in the state this year, of-
cials said Wednesday.
The King Fire east of Sacramento has cost
more than $53 million since it began near-
ly two weeks ago, California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman
Daniel Berlant said.
That gure ranks behind the $86 million
that has been spent to tame a still-burning
re in Klamath National Forest along the
California-Oregon border.
However, those gures are nowhere near
the more than $127 million spent to stop
the Rim Fire last year in Yosemite National
Park, Berlant said.
More than 7,600 reghters are currently
battling the King Fire that has burned 145
square miles and stretched into Nevada.
Flames have destroyed 12 homes, and
another 21,000 structures half of them
homes were threatened.
The re is nearly 40 percent contained.
It takes a lot of resources to ght a re of
this magnitude, Berlant said. Protecting
those people and their property is a huge
priority for us. So, until we get a good
amount of containment, we will have
enough crews assigned until we can stop
this blaze.
Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a
state of emergency involving the re, a
move that freed up funds and federal grants.
Fireghters from as far as away as Alaska
and Florida have worked alongside
California counterparts to establish and
strengthen containment lines. Most crews
from out of state stay up to two weeks,
while crews from across California stay as
long as three weeks.
This continues to be the highest priority
re in the nation and that necessitated the
need for reinforcement, state Battalion
Chief Scott McLean said. It is not stretch-
ing us thin. We have a lot of resources to
draw from throughout the state and across
the country if needed.
The King Fire is one of nearly 5,000 wild-
res in California this year, a 26 percent
increase compared to an average year of
about 3,900, Berlant said.
One reghter was hit by a tree limb
Wednesday and taken by helicopter to a
hospital where he will most likely be kept
overnight for observation, Berlant said.
Wind gusts up to 40 mph and low humidi-
ty were expected in the re zone Wednesday
that could last well into Thursday, despite a
chance of rain and cooler temperatures, said
Eric Kurth, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service.
Similar winds doubled the size of the re a
week ago. About 2,700 people remain under
evacuation orders.
Fight against California fire is second most costly
By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO Anational marijuana
advocacy group took steps Wednesday to
begin raising money for a campaign to
legalize recreational pot use in California in
2016, a move with potential to add a dose of
extra excitement to the presidential election
year.
The Marijuana Policy Project led paper-
work with the California secretary of states
ofce registering a campaign committee to
start accepting and spending contributions
for a pot legalization initiative on the
November 2016 state ballot, the group said.
The measure would be similar to those
passed in 2012 by voters in Colorado and
Washington, the rst U.S. states to legalize
commercial sales of marijuana to all adults
over 21.
California, long the national leader in ille-
gal marijuana production and home to a
thriving, largely unregulated medical mari-
juana industry, is one of the 21 other states
that currently allow marijuana use only for
medical reasons. The drug remains illegal
under federal law.
Marijuana prohibition has had an enor-
mously detrimental impact on California
communities. Its been ineffective, wasteful
and counterproductive. Its time for a more
responsible approach, Marijuana Policy
Project Executive Director Rob Kampia said.
Regulating and taxing marijuana similarly
to alcohol just makes sense.
The Washington, D.C.-based group also
has established campaign committees to
back legalization measures in Arizona,
Massachusetts and Nevada in 2016.
Voters in Oregon, Alaska and the District
of Columbia will weigh in on marijuana
legalization in November.
In 2010, California voters rejected a ballot
initiative seeking to legalize recreational
pot. The measure, just like the medical mari-
juana law the state approved in 1996, was the
rst of its kind.

President Barack Obama addresses the 69th United Nations General Assembly at U.N.
headquarters in New York.
By Josh Lederman
UNITED NATIONS President Barack
Obama is carving out a wide swath the Pacic
Ocean for an expanded marine preserve, put-
ting the waters off-limits to drilling and
most shing in a bid to protect fragile under-
water life.
The revamped expanded Pacic Remote
Islands Marine National Monument will
cover 490,000 square miles - an area roughly
three times the size of California - and will
become the largest marine preserve in the
world. Millions of seabirds, sea turtles and
marine mammals live in the bio-rich
expanse included by the new monument,
which will also add new protections for more
than 130 seamounts - underwater moun-
tains where rare or undiscovered species are
frequently found.
The move to broaden the George W. Bush-
era preserve comes as Obama seeks to show
concrete presidential action to protect the
environment, despite rm opposition in
Congress to new environmental legislation.
At the United Nations this week, Obama
announced new U.S. commitments to help
other nations deal with the effects of climate
change, as world leaders seek to galvanize
support for a major global climate treaty to
be nalized next year in Paris.
We hope the steps taken today by the
U.S. government will accelerate similar
actions by a growing list of coastal nations
to protect more of the worlds great ocean
treasures, said Matt Rand, who heads the
ocean program at the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Obama will sign a memorandum expand-
ing the ocean preserve on Thursday, the
White House said. Secretary of State John
Kerry was also to discuss the announcement
during an event Thursday on ocean sustain-
ability in New York.
The president signaled his intent to
expand the monument in June and asked for
input on the nal boundaries from sher-
men, lawmakers and scientists. Ofcials said
they received more than 170,000 electronic
comments on the proposal.
The memorandum bans commercial sh-
ing, deep-sea mining and other extraction of
underwater resources, by recreational shing
will continue to be allowed. White House
ofcials said they decided to allow some sh-
ing in an attempt to preserve and encourage
the publics access to federal areas.
While a major symbolic victory for envi-
ronmentalists, who long urged Obama to
take this step, the designation will have lim-
ited practical implications. Thats because
little shing or drilling are taking place in
the region even without the new protec-
tions.
The expansion also falls far short of what
Obama could have done had he used the full
extent of his powers.
Maritime law gives the U.S. control up to
200 nautical miles from the coast. Under
Bush, the U.S. set aside waters extending
about 50 miles from the shore of an array of
U.S.-administered islands in the south-cen-
tral Pacic, thousands of miles from the
American mainland.

Domestic violence in U.S.: Data tells complex story
For weeks, amid allegations involving several NFL play-
ers, domestic violence has been the focus of intense national
attention. Does the turmoil reect a worsening epidemic of
domestic violence, or has the U.S. in fact made great strides
to curtail it? The answer is complicated.
On one hand, domestic violence committed by intimate
partners current or former spouses, boyfriends or girl-
friends has declined by more than 60 percent since the
mid-1990s, according to Justice Department gures.
Yet the dramatic decrease from 1995 through 2004 has
largely stalled, with the numbers stabilizing at a level that
appalls people in the prevention eld. The latest federal g-
ures for serious intimate partner violence sexual assault
or aggravated physical assault showed 360,820 such inci-
dents in 2013, or roughly 1,000 per day.
Meanwhile, many organizations that serve the victims are
struggling to meet rising demand, particularly in the past few
weeks since a graphic video surfaced of suspended Baltimore
Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his future wife
unconscious in a casino elevator. Shelters are turning away
victims for lack of beds and staff; the National Domestic
Violence Hotline could handle barely half of the 8,500 calls
that came during the eight days after the Rice video appeared.
Statistically, are we improving? asked the hotlines pres-
ident, Katie Ray-Jones. From a service standpoint, it does-
nt feel like it.
Cops: Saw ambush suspect, found his dirty diapers
Asuspect in the fatal ambush of a trooper has occasionally
made himself visible to ofcers before melting back into the
forest, and police found empty packs of Serbian-branded cig-
arettes and soiled diapers believed to have been left by him,
Pennsylvania State Police said Wednesday.
Ofcers saw a man they believe to be Eric Frein as recently
as Tuesday, Lt. Col. George Bivens said Wednesday after-
noon. But it was at a distance, and the extremely rugged ter-
rain separating the ofcers from Frein gave him the ability
to disappear, Bivens told reporters.
It was the rst time authorities have reported possibly lay-
ing eyes on the 31-year-old suspect charged with opening re
at the Blooming Grove state police barracks on Sept. 12,
killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding a second
trooper who remains hospitalized.
Bivens said the discovery of the empty packs of cigarettes
and dirty diapers is helping to cement authorities belief they
were closing in as the manhunt stretched into its 12th full
day.
Around the nation
By Edith M. Lederer
UNITED NATIONS The United
Nations chief called for world leaders
Wednesday to join an international
campaign to ease the plight of nearly
unprecedented numbers of refugees,
the displaced and victims of violence
in a world wracked by wars and the
swift-spreading and deadly Ebola epi-
demic.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said
leaders must nd and nurture seeds of
hope in the turmoil and despair of a
world that may seem like its falling
apart with people crying out for pro-
tection from greed and inequality.
Not since the end of the Second
World War have there been so many
refugees, displace people and asylum
seekers. Never before has the United
Nations been asked to reach so many
people with emergency food assis-
tance and other life-saving supplies,
Ban said in his state of the world
address at the opening of the U.N.
General Assemblys annual ministeri-
al meeting.
Several leaders including Jordans
King Abdullah and Turkeys President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the
challenges nancial and social
of hosting hundreds of thousands of
refugees from Syria.
Abdullah, whose country is shelter-
ing nearly 1.4 million Syrians, said
the refugee crisis demands a global
solution.
To date, the response has not kept
pace with the real needs, he said.
The global spotlight at the assem-
bly is focused on the rise of radical
Islamic extremists, who chose
Wednesday to behead a French hiker in
Algeria. French President Francois
Hollande denounced the militants
linked to the Islamic State group who
assassinated Herve Gourdel and warned
that they pose a global threat that
must be stopped.
U.S. President Barack Obama urged
world leaders to join a global coali-
tion to destroy the Islamic State ter-
rorist group which has terrorized all
who they come across in Iraq and
Syria. He also urged the leaders to
address the failure to confront force-
fully enough the intolerance, sectari-
anism, and hopelessness that feeds
violent extremism in too many parts
of the globe.
And Ban decried the new depths of
barbarity and called for decisive
action to stop atrocity crimes. But
he also said we must not let the
smoke from todays res blind us to
longer-term challenges and opportu-
nities and address the danger posed
by religiously motivated fanatics.
Speaker after speaker addressed a
host of other issues from illegal immi-
gration to promoting equality for
women and reforming the powerful
U.N. Security Council to reect the
21st century, not the post-World War
II world.

Letters to the editor
The Sacramento Bee
B
ob Filner was probably San
Diegos worst mayor, driven from
ofce by embarrassing revelations
of chronic sexual harassment. But he did
accomplish at least one thing in his short,
scandal-ridden career. He ended the citys
red light camera program in 2013, noting
its potentially deleterious effect on
tourism.
Heres the welcome that we give to San
Diego, Filner told the U-T San Diego
newspaper at the time. Heres a $500 ne.
I dont think thats the way to tell visitors,
Thank you for coming to San Diego.
In so doing, Filner acknowledged what
many California drivers long have suspect-
ed about the recent public safety trend:
Those cameras mounted at thousands of
intersections are more about raising money
for cash-strapped agencies and prots for
an out-of-state company than saving lives.
Astory by Bee reporter Tony Bizjak on
Sunday uncovered how ofcials at Redex
Trafc Systems, an Australian based red
light camera company with U.S. headquar-
ters in Arizona, picked up meal tabs for
Sacramento County sheriffs deputies and
California Highway Patrol ofcers. Then
those ofcers recommended the county
give Redex a contract worth $11.8 mil-
lion instead of competitors.
It probably wasnt illegal, and it wasnt
lavish dinners at Red Robin, not the
Ritz but that Redex paid for 250 meals
over ve years reveals how lucrative the red
light camera is. Those dinners were noth-
ing next to the charges in the indictments
last year of the companys former top U.S.
executives who allegedly bribed Chicago
ofcials $2 million to keep that citys red
light camera contract.
The use of red light cameras exploded
about 10 years ago, according to data from
the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety,
which supports their use. It was the perfect
pitch to cash-strapped local governments:
Make millions of dollars each year while
making your streets safer.
Approximately 500 U.S. cities use photo
enforcement of intersections now,
although the use is on the wane. Thats
especially true in California, where about
100 cities and counties enthusiastically
adopted red light cameras in the last decade.
Now less than half that number maintain
red light cameras.
One reason for the downturn is motorist
outrage. While the typical photo enforce-
ment ticket outside of California is $100,
the cost here for running a red light or
committing a right-turn violation is $490.
Plus, you get a point on your driving
record, which can mean thousands more
spent on car insurance until that point goes
away. Thats abusively high for something
that could be as minor as a slow, rolling
right turn in an empty, predawn intersec-
tion.
If there were hard evidence of lives saved,
the cost might not seem so offensive.
There isnt. What we do have is evidence
that these programs were intended to be
cash cows.
In fact, failure to pay out is why the city
of Los Angeles dumped the program in
2011, though that was exacerbated by the
announcement that the L.A. Superior Court
would not pursue people who didnt pay the
nes. More recently, Oakland, San Rafael
and Hayward dumped their red light camera
programs. Modesto put its on hiatus in
May because it couldnt afford the staff to
review the photos from the cameras.
Ventura last week rejected a contract renew-
al with Redex because the program isnt
producing the revenue needed to pay off the
debt to Redex.
The data are murky about the effective-
ness of the cameras. Areport by the U.S.
Department of Transportations Federal
Highway Administration looked at a host
of studies on red light cameras. Some found
signicant reductions in crashes; some
found no change. Others found that
installing the cameras exchanged one type
of accident, right-angle collisions, with
another, rear-end crashes by people slam-
ming on brakes.
What is certain is that red light cameras
are a massive redistribution of wealth, from
the pockets of drivers into the coffers of
government and out-of-state companies.
The revelations about Redexs actions to
win a contract should prompt Sacramento
ofcials to re-evaluate whether they could
achieve the same goal by extending yellow
lights at dangerous intersections without
having to pick the publics pockets.
A conspiracy of silence
Editor,
I just left our garden, unable to tolerate
the noise, dust and fumes, compliment of
our neighbors gardener. Anuisance, we
have to cope with ve times a week. Now I
can hear the whine of the blower all the
way inside.
Yet, how many times have you heard a
demand by ecologists to ban the two-cycle
gas engines on the mowers and blowers?
More than never? Why not switch to elec-
tric tools? More expensive? Sure, but so
will be everything else after we enact the
cap-and-trade bill. Does an environmental-
ists concern ends at the edge of his or her
lawn? Hypocrisy at its nest.

Bicyclists contribute to transit system
Editor,
The allegation that bicycles dont pay
for the transportation system is inaccurate
(Guest perspective Caltrain bike cars: The
other side of the story in the Sept. 23 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). Were worlds
removed from anything dependent solely
on gas tax revenue; more than 50 percent
of the cost of building and maintaining
roads is paid for by general fund dollars,
i.e. tax and bond revenue thats shared by
all residents. For systems like Caltrain,
which is entirely dependent on general
fund revenue, bicyclists, especially those
buying Caltrain tickets, have an even
stronger role in funding the system.
Everyone pays for city streets and
inter-city transportation systems when
we shop, or file federal, state and local
income and property taxes. Tax revenues
are what support Caltrain. Not only are
bicyclists paying their fair share, they
often pay more than vehicular drivers.
Economist Todd Littman found that the
average U.S. driver travels 10,000 miles
around-town each year, contributing
$324 in taxes while costing the public
$3,360. By contrast, someone biking
everywhere contributes a yearly average
of $300 but only costs the public $36.
Each Bombardier car that Caltrain will
buy can accommodate more than 130 pas-
sengers. When converted to a bike car
that can provide carriage of 24 bicycles,
therell still be at least 110 seats easing
overall capacity overload. Given the
record high number of passengers
bumped from Caltrain due to insuffi-
cient bike capacity and consistency who
then quit using the service and return to
an automobile commute, Caltrain will
actually be saving passengers, and
increasing revenue, by reliably provid-
ing space for people to bring their bikes
onboard.

Red light cameras about making money

Preserve our past,
enliven our future
By Cathy Baylock
W
ith the recent sale of the historic
downtown Burlingame post
ofce on Park Road, these words
from Dr. Gray Brechin, project scholar of
The Living New Deal at U.C. Berkeley, come
to mind: Far more than utilitarian contain-
ers for conducting busi-
ness, they are our piazzas
the places we meet one
another and in doing so,
see our landscapes, histo-
ry, work and ourselves
reected back from their
walls.
In my mind, 220 Park
Road, embodies the spirit
of New Deal public works
projects built during the lingering poverty
following the Great Depression and champi-
oned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
hope of rebuilding our nation and its people.
Roosevelt, an avid stamp collector, per
Brechin, took a keen interest in the postal
service actively overseeing the design of
six post ofces near his Hyde Park home and
believed they are at once centers of commu-
nity and symbolic of governments integrity
and believed they should look it.
In that spirit, per Brechin, excellent
materials, construction and design typify
New Deal post ofces, many of which were
embellished with murals and sculptures spe-
cic to their locations and function.
In that vein, the Burlingame post ofce
encompasses those ideals and remains his-
torically and architecturally intact, thus its
eligibility for inclusion on both the
California State and National Historic
Registers. Apreservation covenant protect-
ing its historic attributes (of which there are
many) was included by the U.S. Postal
Service upon its sale.
I see three great opportunities for the pur-
chaser of this unique building:
Local landmark: An opportunity exists to
preserve one of the most important struc-
tures both to Burlingames history and its
historic downtown.
Lucrative tax benets: With the citys
recent adoption of the California Mills Act
(for property tax abatement) coupled with
federal tax credits available for commercial
restoration and AB 1999-Economic
Development and State Historic Tax Credits,
the new owner has the opportunity to reap
huge nancial incentives for adaptive re-use
of the building.
Lasting legacy: This magnicent building
along with its 1.4 acres of land and the pos-
sible use of the adjacent city parking lot,
could be developed as an enduring public/pri-
vate use space incorporating a public square,
recreation space for families as well as a spot
to hold a farmers market and other worth-
while community events a la Redwood Citys
Courthouse square or San Franciscos Ferry
Building.
We, as a community (property owner, city
ofcials and our citizens), have the opportu-
nity to give this worn-down grande dame of
Burlingame a future and a hope.
As Dr. Brechin so aptly states on his web-
site afliated with the Living New Deal
Project, (www.nationalpostofcecollabo-
rate.com) Like the democracy they were
built to embody, the responsibility to save
them (post ofce buildings) rests nally
upon us.
Will you join me, citizens of Burlingame,
in ensuring a project is built that meets our
high community standards, values our histo-
ry and reects our desire to preserve our her-
itage and way of life?
Cathy Baylock served 12 years on the
Burlingame City Council, twice as mayor. She
has been the treasurer of the Burlingame
Historical Society since 1999.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK U.S. stocks rebound-
ed Wednesday and had their best per-
formance in more than a month, led by
gains in health care and consumer sta-
ples companies.
Once again, investors were willing
to step in to buy any noticeable dip in
the market, even as more bad news
emerged about Europes economy and
worries over violence in Iraq and Syria
continued.
The Dow Jones industrial average
advanced 154.19 points, or 0.9 per-
cent, to 17,210.06, its best day since
Aug. 18. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 15.53 points, or 0.8 per-
cent, to 1,998.30 and the Nasdaq com-
posite rose 46.53 points, or 1 percent,
to 4,555.22.
The gains came after three days of
losses for the S&P 500 and two
straight days of triple-digit losses for
the Dow Jones industrial average.
With the gains Wednesday, the Dow
recovered more than half of what it lost
Monday and Tuesday.
The biggest gainer in the S&P 500
was Bed Bath & Beyond, which rose
$4.64, or 7.4 percent, to $67.33.
The home furnishings company
reported a quarterly profit of $1.17 a
share, two cents above analysts
expect at i ons. The company also
raised its full-year forecast.
Wal-Mart rose $1.48, or 2 percent,
to $77.08, making it the second-
biggest advancer in the Dow. The retail
giant took a big step into the nancial
services sector, announcing a new
checking account program for cus-
tomers in collaboration with Green
Dot. The news sent Green Dot shares
soaring $4.59, or 24 percent, to
$23.41.
Investors also got a positive report
on the U.S. economy. Sales of new
homes jumped 18 percent in August,
reaching an annual rate of 504,000,
according to the Commerce
Department, far better than the
430,000 rate economists had expect-
ed.
Even with Wednesdays gain, theres
a lot of caution in the market, traders
say.
Investors continue to focus on
Europes economic malaise and ten-
sions in the Middle East after the U.S.
and several Arab nations attacked the
Islamic State groups headquarters in
Syria.
The Ifo business condence index in
Germany, Europes largest economy,
dropped for a fifth month in
September. The decline was larger than
expected and conrmed that Europes
economy remains weak. The day
before, a closely watched business
gauge for the region fell to a nine-
month low. The eurozones economy
has been at or barely growing since
April, hobbled by the lingering effects
of a debt crisis, uncertainty over a con-
ict in Ukraine and a lack of condence
among consumers, businesses and
banks.
Its clear now that the Russian sanc-
tions are causing a slowdown in the
European economy, particularly manu-
facturing, said Anastasia Amoroso, a
global markets strategist at JPMorgan
Funds. But we see this as a temporary
soft patch.
Health care stocks rebounded after
taking a beating at the start of the
week on news that the U.S. was tight-
ening rules on a tax-saving maneuver
called an inversion. Many of the
companies using the tactic, in which a
smaller company is acquired overseas
so that the U.S. company can move its
headquarters there and take advantage
of lower tax rates, have been health
companies.
AbbVie, which fell nearly 2 percent
Tuesday, rose 2.6 percent Wednesday.
Other health care names helping the
overall market were the biotechnology
stocks such as Biogen, Celgene and
Vertex Pharmaceuticals. They all rose
3 percent or more.
U.S. government bond prices fell.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
rose to 2.57 percent from 2.53 percent
the day before.
Stocks advance after three days of declines
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON U.S. sales of new
homes surged in August, led by a wave of
buying in the West and Northeast.
The Commerce Department said
Wednesday that new-home sales climbed 18
percent last month to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 504,000. The report also
revised up the July sales rate to 427,000
from 412,000.
Newly constructed homes sold at the
fastest clip since May 2008. Its a clear
sign of improvement for a real estate market
that has been muddled in recent months, as
the rebound in sales following the housing
bust began to slow.
Sales of new homes are up 33 percent over
the past 12 months. Median prices for new
homes have risen nearly 8 percent during
the same period to $275,600.
All is not perfect in the housing market
but things are certainly better today than
they were about one year ago, said Dan
Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG broker-
age.
In the West, August purchases of new
homes soared 50 percent compared to the
prior month. Off the sharp August increase,
sales in the West have nearly doubled in the
past 12 months.
Between August and July, sales grew 29.2
percent in the Northeast. Buying increased
7.8 percent in the South and remained at in
the Midwest.
The housing market has been sputtering
for much this year. A nascent recovery in
sales and prices began to struggle toward
the middle of 2013. Ferocious winter weath-
er delayed construction and limited sales at
the beginning of 2014. Buying did pick up
over the summer. Yet the pace of sales has
been depressed by sluggish wage growth
and the price surge last year that put homes
out of reach for many Americans.
While new-home sales did show greater
strength in August, they are signicantly
below the 1990s pace of more than 700,000
sales a year, said Tom Showalter, chief ana-
lytics ofcer at Digital Risk, a mortgage
analyst company.
Were well below historic norms,
Showalter said.
There are signs that another housing
uptick may be in the works.
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment
index climbed in September to 59, the high-
est reading since November 2005. Readings
above 50 indicate more builders view sales
conditions as improving.
But greater builder condence has yet to
translate into more construction.

SAN FRANCISCO Apples newest
iPhones ran into some glitches Wednesday
after users complained that a new software
update blocked their calls, while a widely
circulated video showed the larger of the two
new models is vulnerable to bending.
Apple said it would stop providing the
software update, which it began distributing
Wednesday morning to x several issues in
last weeks iOS 8 operating system for
iPhones and iPads.
The decision to pull the update came after
some people complained on Twitter and in
Apple user chatrooms that the update,
dubbed iOS 8.0.1, rendered their phones
unable to make calls and caused problems
with a feature that lets people unlock their
phones with their ngerprint.
By midday Wednesday, Apple announced
that it was investigating the reports and
would issue advice to users as quickly as we
can. Users are still able to the upgrade older
phones to last weeks version of iOS 8,
which Apple said has already been down-
loaded to nearly half of all iOS devices.
Some tech blogs reported the update only
seemed to cause problems for the latest
phone models the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Its not uncommon for new software to con-
tain bugs that have to be xed with subse-
quent releases.
Valeant Pharma expects
3Q revenue to top forecasts
Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals
International Inc. climbed Wednesday after
the Canadian drugmaker said it expects mar-
ket share gains in most of its businesses and
that its third-quarter revenue will top fore-
casts.
The drugmaker also said it expects 10 per-
cent growth from the established business of
its contact lens maker Bausch + Lomb, a tar-
get of criticism in Valeants on-going
takeover battle with Botox-maker Allergan
Inc.
Allergan has rebuffed several takeover bids
from Valeant over the past few months, the
latest amounting to about $53 billion. But it
has agreed to hold a special shareholder meet-
ing on Dec. 18, at which its shareholders will
be given the opportunity to vote out most of
its directors.
That could give Valeant and activist
investor Bill Ackmans Pershing Square
Capital Management LP, which has built a
large stake in Allergan, a chance at a takeover.
Beyond control of the board, there also will
be a vote on whether Allergan should even
talk to Valeant and Pershing Square
The companies have traded barbs through-
out the takeover battle, and Valeant has said
that Allergen has made misleading statements
about Valeants businesses, including Bausch
+ Lomb, which Valeant acquired last year.

DETROIT The families of two
Wisconsin teenagers killed in a car crash
involving a faulty General Motors ignition
switch have dropped their lawsuit against
the company and are seeking a settlement
with the automaker.
The Oct. 24, 2006, crash that killed
Natasha Weigel, who was 18, and Amy
Rademaker, who was 15, was among the rst
blamed on the faulty switches, and evidence
from the crash exposed how GM and federal
regulators missed clues that could have
prompted a recall of the cars as early as
seven years ago.
Instead, GM failed to recall 2.6 million
cars equipped with the switches until earlier
this year.
Despite evidence that people within GM
knew for years about a defect in the ignition
switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other
small cars, the families face tough going in
court because of the legal protection GM has
from liabilities incurred prior to its 2009
bankruptcy.

Buiness brief
By Beth Harris
LOS ANGELES Clayton Kershaw tied a
career high with his 21st victory, Yasiel Puig
homered to highlight a four-run sixth inning
and the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NLWest
title with a 9-1 victory over the second-place
San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.
Fittingly, the Dodgers claimed their second
straight division title behind Kershaw (21-3),
the probable NL Cy Young Award winner and
MVP candidate who has been the catalyst
behind their success this season.
He didnt pitch lights out getting called
for a balk and wild pitch and he committed
a throwing error in the seventh but he did a lit-
tle bit of everything, including hitting and
elding to ensure the Dodgers celebrated in
front of their longtime rivals.
Kershaw allowed one run and eight hits in
eight innings, struck out 11 and walked none
in his last start of the regular season, having
won his nal seven starts. He became the rst
player to lead the major leagues in ERA(1.77)
in four consecutive seasons.
Kershaw tied his career high in wins from
2011. The Dodgers are 23-4 in his 27 starts
this season.
MVP chants directed at Kershaw from the
sellout crowd of 53,387 broke out throughout
the game, but grew loudest after he retired the
side in the eighth, striking out two.
Juan Uribe went 2 for 4 and drove in three
runs, and Carl Crawford was 2 for 2 with three
runs scored and two RBI for Los Angeles.
The Dodgers snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth,
with Puig hitting a leadoff homer off Tim
Hudson (9-13) to get things started.
Crawfords two-run double off Javier Lopez
made it 4-1 and Uribe followed with a RBI sin-
gle off Jean Machi for a 5-1 lead.
Puig showed off his arm in the top of the
seventh. Pinch-hitter Matt Duffy singled to
center, where Puig grabbed the ball, spun
around and red to third, nailing Gregor
Blanco as he slid in.
The Dodgers tacked on four more runs in the
eighth, when Giants pitchers walked four bat-

N
ow that Caada mens basketball
coach Mike Reynoso has a year
under his belt, he is ready to take
the next step toward building a program
of which not only the college can be
proud, but the community at large.
To that end, Reynoso and the Colts will
be kicking off the 2014-15 season with a
Midnight Madness event Oct. 3
which begins, ironically, at 7 p.m.
I dont know how
many people we
would get if we did it
at midnight,
Reynoso said.
Reynoso estimates
the festivities should
be concluded by
about 10 p.m. Cost
is $5 for two people,
while students and
college faculty are
admitted free with
school identica-
tion.
Midnight Madness is a staple at four-
year colleges and universities as a way to
get the schools and the communities
excited for the upcoming season.
As far as I know, there arent a lot of
junior colleges that do it, Reynoso said.
Reynoso will follow a similar blue-
print of other schools. The event will
feature a dunk contest, 3-point shooting
contest, fan challenges and a 20-minute
intra-squad scrimmage.
Most fans, however, will want to see
what kind of dunks the Colts can throw
down and Reynoso said they would not be
disappointed.
We have the athletes who can really
put on a show, Reynoso said. Its de-
nitely going to be an exciting dunk con-
test. We have some guys who can jump
out of the gym; 180s, 360s, jumping
over teammates, that kind of stuff.
We have more than just guys who can
throw a tomahawk (dunk) down.

El Camino football coach Mark Turner
was red Wednesday after he was arrested for
an alleged lewd act with a 15-year-old that
occurred during the summer, the South San
Francisco Unied School District said in a
press release.
Turner, 38, who graduated El Camino in
1994, spent six years as the Colts offen-
sive coordinator, before taking over as head
coach prior to 2010 season. The press
release said Turner had recently been hired as
part of the El Camino campus security team.
There was no word on who the new football
coach would be.
The incident allegedly occurred in South
San Francisco in July at an off-campus loca-
tion that was not specied. The girl dis-
closed the alleged attack to school ofcials,
who in turn contacted the South San
Francisco Police Department. Police Sgt.
Tom Neary said Turner was arrested Tuesday
night.
[The incident] came to our attention
[Tuesday], Neary said.
Turner was also formerly a co-head coach
for the boys varsity basketball, before
stepping down after the 2012-13 season.
The South San Francisco Police Department
said in release Turner has also spent several
years coaching girls club basketball teams
around the Bay Area. The department said it
is unsure if there are any other additional
victims.
The school district said Turners ring will
stand regardless of the outcome of the police
investigation.
The district also said it has notied par-
ents of El Camino students about the arrest
and investigation of Turner.
Amessage to El Camino athletic director
Jeff Cosico could not be left because his
voicemail has not been set up.
Turner, a Castro Valley resident, was being
held on $150,000 bail. It is not known
whether he has posted bail.
The Colts are off to a 2-1 record to start
the 2014 season and, in Turners previous
four seasons, hes compiled a Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division record of 13-
7 and overall record during that span of 22-
19.
Coach fired after arrest
for alleged lewd conduct
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. After more than
six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony
Stewart nally got the news he had been
hoping for.
A grand jury that heard testimony from
more than two dozen witnesses, including
accident reconstruction experts and drivers,
and looked at photographs and video decid-
ed against bringing criminal charges
against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old
sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an
Aug. 9 race.
That doesnt mean its over.
Afew hours after Ontario County District
Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the
grand jurys decision in this upstate New
York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a
statement read over the telephone by sister
Kayla Herring that they will seek civil dam-
ages in the young drivers death.
Our son got out of his car during caution
when the race was suspended. All the other
vehicles were reducing speed and not accel-
erating except for Stewart, who intentional-
ly tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating
and sliding his car toward
him, causing the
tragedy, the family said
Wednesday. The focus
should be on the actions
of Mr. Stewart. This mat-
ter is not at rest and we
will pursue all remedies
in fairness to Kevin.
The family might have
a difcult task: Tantillo
disclosed that Ward was under the inuence
of marijuana the night he died and said two
different videos were enhanced, frames were
isolated and viewed at at least three different
speeds and nally overlaid with grids and
data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing
wrong.
The videos did not demonstrate any aber-
rational driving by Tony Stewart until the
point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which
point his vehicle veered to the right up the
track as a result of the collision. Prior to
that, his course was pretty straight, said
Tantillo. He added that toxicology evidence
Tony Stewart wont
face charges in crash

Dodgers win NL West crown, SanFrancisco clings to wild-card spot
College of San Mateo
Football
For the rst time in College of San Mateo his-
tory, the team earned a No. 1 ranking among
CCCAAprograms this week. And it was the No.
2 quarterback, Justin Burgess, who carried the
team to it.
Burgess entered Saturdays game against
reigning state champion Butte amid a 0-0 rst-
quarter tie and led the Bulldogs on a 10-play, 92-
yard touchdown drive. CSM ultimately marched
to a 51-6 win.
He took it right down and scored, and did
what we asked him to do, CSM head coach Bret
Pollack said. He executed. He got in and did
what I expected him to do and did it well.
The reason CSM (3-0) was forced to turn to
Burgess was starting quarterback Jeremy
Cannon left the game with a minor knee injury.
Cannon walked off the eld under his own
power. He underwent an MRI Monday, the
results of which were good, according to
Pollack. Cannon has yet to be cleared to resume
football activity. Pollack said he will decide
Thursday who will start at quarterback in
Saturdays matchup with San Joaquin Delta (0-
3).
Whether CSM utilizes Cannon or Burgess at
the helm, it doesnt change the offensive
approach, according to Pollack.
We dont change at all when Justins in
there, Pollack said. Justin is actually a really
good option quarterback too. Hes big, hes
strong.
CSMs No. 3 quarterback is San Mateo gradu-
ate, freshman Taylor Sanft.
Saturday, CSM returns home for the rst time
since its Sept. 6 season opener. Kickoff is
scheduled for 1 p.m.
Womens Water Polo
The Lady Bulldogs went 1-3 over the weekend
at the West Valley Tournament, but scored their
rst win of the season last Friday in the tourney
opener, 11-10 in overtime against Merced.
We were down early, but it was clear we had a
little bit more star power than they did, CSM
head coach Randy Wright said.
CSM trailed at halftime, but turned a corner by
outscoring Merced 4-0 in the third quarter.
Molly McAvoy, Tayler OConnor, Shelby
Chung and Casey Johnson tabbed a goal apiece
in the pivotal quarter. Merced came back to tie it
up with an improbable half-court goal with two
seconds remaining in regulation to force over-
time. But after a Merced goal on a penalty shot
to start the rst overtime period, CSM went on
a 3-1 run to win it.
It was nice to see us respond in overtime,
Wright said. After you let in a half-court goal it
can be deating. Then they come out score the
rst goal on a penalty shot, it can be deating.
But then we responded well and got three in a
row.
CSM went on to lose to Diablo Valley 13-8
later in the day. Saturday, the Bulldogs lost to
San Joaquin Delta 15-8 and to West Valley 11-4.
Next up for CSM is the Cabrillo Tournament,
beginning Friday against Cuesta.

CSMs women are ranked No. 12 and the men

Skyline College
Womens soccer
With two straight wins to open Coast
Conference play, Skyline has improved its
overall record to 6-3, matching its entire win
total from last season.
The Trojans offense has been a second-half
menace through conference victories over Los
Positas and Chabot. Skyline entered halftime of
both matches tied 0-0, but struck quickly in the
second half of each to gain advantages.
Tuesdays win at Chabot Skylines fourth
consecutive road game was a 1-0 thriller,
which saw sophomore Ileana Moncada score on
a header as she out-jumped the opposing goal-
keeper to exact a goal. It was Moncadas eighth
goal of the season. She currently is tied for
eighth in the state.
Moncada a three-time All-Academic
Athletic Association player at San Franciscos
Lowell High School has tabbed three multi-
goal games this season. Her last came Sept. 19
in the Coast Conference opener at Los Positas,
in which she scored twice.
She is one of these players that a lot of peo-
ple didnt know of coming out of high school,
Skyline head coach Kevin Corsiglia said. But
if she has another good year this year teams
are going to see she can play at the college level
and shell have an easier time moving on.
It was sophomore Deandra Thomas who
scored the go-ahead goal against Los Positas. In
the 48th minute, the Capuchino alum let one y
from 35 yards out to capitalize on an out-of-
position goalkeeper. Moncada scored the fol-
lowing two goals. With Skyline leading 3-1,
Brenda Gonzalez scored in the 83rd minute to
put the game on ice.
Up next for Skyline is Fridays nonconfer-
ence matchup with Cabrillo. The Trojans wont
play again until Oct. 7 when they host perenni-
al powerhouse City College of San Francisco.
The defending Coast Conference North champs,
CCSF has appeared in the California
Community College Athletic Association state
nal four tourney twice in the past four years.
Volleyball
Skyline entered play Wednesday ranked rst
in the state with 734.5 points. That statistic is
misleading, as the Trojans are far from the most
prolic scoring force in the state.
As Trojans head coach Rayannah Salahuddin
explains, the extraordinary point total is a
result of strength in other fundamentals such as
passing and defense, which allow for prolonged
rallies.
We have longer rallies, Salahuddin said.
More of our games go to four or ve (sets)
because we play defense. For that reason, we
earn a lot more points.
With an undersized front row, which includes
5-9 outside hitter Makaia Best, the Trojans have
to excel at other elements of the game to be suc-
cessful. That they have. With a sweep of San
Jose City College Wednesday night, the
Trojans have won three of their last four.
Skyline cruised to a 25-9, 25-11, 25-10 vic-
tory to improve its overall record to 8-5. Best
and Judy Viduya each had 10 kills while Sahara
Clay totaled eight kills and ve service aces.
Best or as Salahuddin refers to her: Miss
Consistency has cooled in recent weeks
after starting the season with seven consecutive
matches with double-digit kills. Still, she has
capitalized on extended matches by totaling
166 kills entering Wednesday, ranking sixth in
the state. Her 3.69 kills per set average places
her at 31st overall among CCCAAhitters.
Ive never seen her as scrappy as Ive seen
her this year, Salahuddin said.
Sophomore setter Kimberly Tang has posted
a similar statistical differential. While ranking
fth in the state with 371 assists, she is 15th
with 9.56 assists per set. The 5-2 Tang is a grad-
uate of San Franciscos Lincoln High School,
where she was a key player on the 2008 team
which posted an undefeated 11-0 record in AAA
play.
Shes our volleyball ninja, Salahuddin said.
Wrestling
Skyline took fth place over the weekend at
the Sacramento City College Tournament, n-
ishing with 45 points behind rst-place Fresno

OAKLAND Howie Kendrick doubled and
drove in three runs, and the ALWest champi-
on Los Angeles Angels held off the playoff-
hopeful Oakland Athletics 5-4 on
Wednesday.
The As dropped a half-game back of
Kansas City for the top ALwild card with the
Royals set to play a night game at
Cleveland. Seattle began the day three
games behind for the second wild-card spot.
Los Angeles (98-61) maintained its lead
over Baltimore (95-63) for the best record in
baseball and home-eld advantage for the AL
playoffs.
The Angels beat their Northern California
rival for the seventh time in the last eight
meetings to capture the season series 10-9
for the rst time in four years. The Angels
won at the Coliseum for just the third time in
nine games.
This stretch for Oakland can be best
dened as one of wasted pitching perform-
ances and devoid of clutch hitting.
The As rallied with four runs in the sev-
enth, including Josh Reddicks two-run dou-
ble and an RBI triple by Nick Punto. Adam
Dunn struck out as a pinch-hitter to end the
inning with runners on rst and second.
Angels center elder Mike Trout dropped a
y ball in center eld for a three-base error in
the fourth, putting Josh Donaldson on third
leading off the inning. Jonny Gomes
popped out and Derek Norris ied out to
right, with Kole Calhoun making a perfect
throw home to get Donaldson for a double
play.
Crew chief Gerry Davis sent the play to
review to determine whether catcher Chris
Iannetta had blocked the plate. The call was
upheld in 3 minutes, 30 seconds, sending
the crowd into a booing frenzy.
As starter Jon Lester (16-11) struck out
seven in seven innings, allowing ve runs
on eight hits. He went winless in three starts
against the Angels this year.
The As wrapped up their home schedule
and packed to be away four to 10 days and for
varying climates. They could have to play a
wild-card game at Kansas City on Tuesday.

While Reynoso said the event is being
used to showcase the upcoming season, he
also wants to make sure the local sports
community at large knows that he is trying
to bring them into the fold as well.
I want [the Caada program] to be a sta-
ple in the community. We just want to let
people know were here. We want to be part
of the community the same way the high
schools are, Reynoso said. We want our
guys to get the idea of giving back to the
community. [The community] is what
makes our college go. Without that com-
munity, we wouldnt be [anything].

It appears the Menlo School boys water
polo team is poised for another deep run
into the playoffs this season, and given
the Knights early season results, they
should have another strong shot at ending
a four-year Central Coast Section title
drought.
Last weekend, the Knights hosted
along with Gunn High and captured the
championship of the 17th annual Scott
Roche Invitational, winning all four of its
matches, improving their non-league
record to 6-0 along the way.
Menlo scored double-digit goals in three
of its four games, but saved its best per-
formances for the seminals and champi-
onship match.
In the nal four, the Knights took on San
Diego power La Jolla, beating it 12-9. In
the title game, the Knights faced off with
North Coast Section and Northern
California power San Ramon Valley.
The Wolves were the two-time defending
tournament champions, having beaten the
Knights by a goal in the 2013 champi-
onship match.
Menlo jumped out to a 4-1 rst-period
lead Saturday, but the Wolves responded
with ve goals in the second period to lead
6-5 at halftime.
SRVled 9-7 after three, before Menlo
came roaring back, outscoring the Wolves
4-1 in the nal period to post an 11-10 vic-
tory.

The Colts lost their fifth straight
Wednesday, falling 2-1 at West Valley.
Caada jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal
by freshman Jordan Avina. The Sequoia
graduate converted a corner kick from Omar
Ramirez, a Half Moon Bay grad. West Valley
tied it before halftime then took the lead
midway through the second half.
The Colts are 1-5 overall and begin Coast
Conference play next Tuesday at defending
champion Hartnell.
Its a tough draw but we want to play
those games, Caada head coach Erik
Gaspar said. Weve battled a pretty good
nonconference schedule and continue to
grow. I feel were in a good position to go
after the defending state champions.
Gaspar has a good track record in Coast
Conference play. In three previous years at
the helm of the Colts, he has posted a 19-
17-6 career record in conference games.

from Wards autopsy indicates that at the
time of operation he was under the inuence
of marijuana. The levels determined were
enough to impair judgment.
Stewarts reaction was not one of celebra-
tion, and his statement had the same twinge
of sadness that hes carried since he returned
to NASCAR three weeks ago following three
weeks of seclusion after Wards death.
The 43-year-old NASCAR superstar
acknowledged the investigation was long
and emotionally difficult but noted it
allowed time for all the facts to be presented.
This has been the toughest and most emo-
tional experience of my life, and it will stay
with me forever. Im very grateful for all the
support Ive received and continue to
receive, he said. While much of the atten-
tion has been on me, its important to
remember a young man lost his life. Kevin
Ward Jr.s family and friends will always be
in my thoughts and prayers.
David Weinstein, a former state and federal
prosecutor in Miami who is not involved in
the case, said the toxicology evidence will
make it difcult for the Wards to win a lawsuit
against Stewart. He said the Ward statement
showed the family was clearly upset and at a
vulnerable point.
Hopefully, someone will explain to them
that Kevin will be dragged through the mud
during a civil trial, he said. After the results
of the toxicology report and the ndings of
the grand jury, the deep pockets will not be
willing to settle this lawsuit so quickly.
The decision came nearly seven weeks
after Stewarts car struck and killed Ward,
sending shock waves through the top racing
series in the United States. The brash and
popular NASCAR driver known as Smoke
skipped three races as he grieved, and
returned to racing in late August. One of the
biggest stars in the garage, Stewart has 48
career Cup wins in 542 starts but is winless
this year and did not make the championship
Chase eld.
Sheriff Philip Povero spent weeks investi-
gating, several times saying he did not have
evidence to suggest Stewart meant to harm
the other driver.

ters and hit another.
The loss again kept the Giants
from clinching a playoff berth.
Hudson gave up three runs and ve
hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out four
and walked one.
Kershaw tied the game 1-1 with his
rst career triple in the fth, scoring
Crawford, who got hit in the left foot
by a pitch and then stole second.
Kershaw chugged into third base
standing up.
The Giants led 1-0 when Hunter
Pence grounded into a elders choice
along the third base line in the third.
Joaquin Arias scored from third, nar-
rowly beating the throw from Uribe.
Kershaw had a bit of a messy third,
when he allowed four baserunners,
his most of any inning. With runners
on rst and second he was called for a
balk, allowing the runners to move
up. Kershaw showed quick reexes
facing his next batter. Hudson hit a
comebacker and Kershaw, down on
his right knee with his back toward
the plate, reached around, backhand-
ed the ball and threw to rst for the
out.
Kershaw gave up a pair of two-out
singles in the sixth and the runners
moved up on his wild pitch. He
induced a groundout to the mound
from Chris Dominguez to end the
inning.

Former No. 2 NBA draft
pick switches to kickboxing
BELGRADE, Serbia Former Serbian cen-
ter Darko Milicic, known as one of the
biggest ops in the history of the NBAdraft,
is switching from basketball to kickboxing.
The 29-year-old Milicic, who has been
without an NBAcontract for nearly two years,
signed a deal on Wednesday with the World
Kickboxing Association to be both its pro-
moter and a competitor.
The 7-foot, 250-pound Milicic, who the
Pistons made the second overall pick in the
2003 draft behind LeBron James, spent the
rst years of his 10 NBAseasons with Detroit
winning the 2004 NBA title. He also played
for Orlando, Memphis, New York, Minnesota
and Boston.
Milicic said that he got interested in kick-
boxing when over a year ago he came across a
humanitarian campaign that was raising funds
by auctioning a kickboxing world title belt.
In 2003, Detroit bypassed Carmelo
Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade to
take Milicic as the second overall pick.

brand of evil, Obama told the General
Assembly. In a striking shift for a president
who has been reluctant to take military
action in the past, Obama declared that force
is the only language the militants under-
stand. He warned those who have joined
their cause to leave the battleeld while
they can.
The widening war against the Islamic
State was just one in a cascade of crises that
confronted the presidents, prime ministers
and monarchs at the annual meeting of the
U.N. General Assembly. Also vying for
attention was Russias continued provoca-
tions in Ukraine, a deadly Ebola outbreak in
West Africa, and the plight of civilians
caught in conicts around the world.
Not since the end of the Second World
War have there been so many refugees, dis-
placed people and asylum seekers, U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said as he
opened Wednesdays session.
In a rare move, Obama also chaired a meet-
ing of the U.N. Security Council where
members unanimously adopted a resolution
requiring all countries to prevent the recruit-
ment and transport of would-be foreign
ghters preparing to join terrorist organiza-
tions such as the Islamic State group.
The American-led military campaign in
the Middle East was at the center of much of
the days discussions. After weeks of
airstrikes in Iraq, U.S. planes began hitting
targets in Syria this week, joined by an
unexpected coalition of ve Arab nations:
Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the
United Arab Emirates.
There were more U.S. and coalition
airstrikes Wednesday on both sides of the
Syrian-Iraqi border. U.S. and allied planes
and drones hit a dozen targets in Syria that
included small-scale oil reneries that have
been providing millions of dollars to the
Islamic State, the U.S. Central Command
said. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates took part in addition to U.S. air-
craft.
France has also taken part in strikes in
Iraq, and British Prime Minister David
Camerons ofce announced that Parliament
was being recalled to London to debate
whether to join the campaign, too.
The Islamic State has made lightning
gains in Iraq this year and now moves freely
across the increasingly blurred border with
Syria. The group has claimed responsibility
for the beheading of two American journal-
ists and a British aid worker, sparking out-
rage in the West and contributing to an
increase in public support for military
action.
Shortly after Obamas remarks, France
conrmed that Algerian extremists allied
with the Islamic State group had beheaded
one of its citizens after the French ignored
demands to stop airstrikes in Iraq. French
President Francois Hollande, who was in
New York for the U.N. meetings, said the
killing underscored why the ght the inter-
national community needs to wage versus
terrorism knows no borders.
U.S. ofcials say they are concerned that
foreigners with Western passports could
return to their home countries to carry out
attacks. And even as Obama welcomed sup-
port for the resolution to deter foreign ght-
ers, he said more must be done.
The words spoken here today must be
matched and translated into action, he said.
The threat from the Islamic State group
has already drawn Obama back into con-
icts in the Middle East that he has long
sought to avoid, particularly in Syria,
which is mired in a bloody three-year civil
war. Just months ago, the president
appeared to be on track to fulll his pledge
to end the U.S.-led wars he inherited in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Obama sought to distinguish this current
military campaign from those lengthy
wars, declaring that he has no intention of
sending U.S. troops to occupy foreign
lands. He also pressed Middle Eastern
nations to look beyond military action and
take steps to reject the ideology that has
spawned groups like the Islamic State and to
cut off funding that has allowed that terror
group and others to thrive.
No external power can bring about a
transformation of hearts and minds,
Obama said in his nearly 40-minute address.
Apart from the Middle East, the president
was particularly blunt in his condemnation
of Russias actions in Ukraine. He accused
Moscow of sending arms to pro-Russian
separatists, refusing to allow access to the
site of a downed civilian airliner and then
moving its own troops across the border
with Ukraine.
Still, Obama held open the prospect of a
resolution to the conict. While he has pre-
viously expressed skepticism about a cease-
re signed this month, he said Wednesday
that the agreement offers an opening for
peace.
If Russia follows through, Obama said,
the U.S. will lift economic sanctions that
have damaged Russias economy but so far
failed to shift President Vladimir Putins
approach.
The chaotic global landscape Obama
described Wednesday stood in contrast to
his remarks at the U.N. one year ago, when
he touted diplomatic openings on multiple
fronts. At the time, the U.S. was embarking
on a fresh attempt to forge an elusive peace
between Israelis and Palestinians and there
were signs of a thaw in the decades-old ten-
sions between the U.S. and Iran.
The Mideast talks have since collapsed,
though the president said that as bleak as
the landscape appears, America will never
give up the pursuit of peace. And while the
U.S., Iran and world powers are now in the
midst of nuclear negotiations, those talks
are deadlocked and there is skepticism about
whether a deal can be reached by a Nov. 24
deadline.
OBAMA
school board will vote on the agreement
which the teachers association ratied on
Sept. 8 at its Oct. 9 meeting.
As a result, several elementary teachers
were informed, only days before the start of
school, that they would be teaching classes
combining two grade levels of students in
one classroom, wrote Carol Campbell, co-
president of the San Carlos Teachers
Association, in a prepared statement. The
teachers had very little time to prepare their
rooms and curriculum to accommodate this
change. This delay resulted in many chaotic
changes in regard to classes. After a full
week of attending school, many students in
the combined classes were switched into dif-
ferent classrooms with new teachers. This
was disruptive not only to student learning
but also to the teachers establishing rou-
tines and procedures.
The district had squandered many opportu-
nities to settle with the San Carlos Teachers
Association during the past year, she said.
This is simply not true, district ofcials
said. In addition, due to an incredible enroll-
ment spurt over the summer, extra class-
rooms were added, the district said. The dis-
trict was actually able to lower class sizes
about two students per class by hiring
additional teachers, it said.
It is unfortunate that the co-presidents of
the San Carlos Teachers Association have
chosen to express frustration regarding
recently concluded contract negotiations by
making misleading representations and
inflammatory statements, said
Superintendent Craig Baker and Chief
Operations Ofcer Robert Porter in a joint
statement. A look at the hard facts dis-
proves any notion that the district was
remiss in its good faith attempts to reach a
mutually acceptable agreement as soon as
possible, for the benet of the entire dis-
trict community.
Context is critical, the district says, as
the state budget process for schools is con-
fusing and subject to constant change since
it wasnt nalized until July. The shifting
picture was perpetuated this year by the new
Local Control Funding Formula, according
to the district.
The district emphasized the urgent need to
resolve class size issues before the start of
the school year, Baker and Porter wrote.
Unless the parties agreed to continue exist-
ing contract language, the district would be
compelled to alter stafng and classroom
assignments. Despite the districts attempts,
the SCTAwould not settle this issue early and
separately; instead, SCTA insisted it would
agree to a class size only when salary and
benet terms were agreed to.
The teachers said its a different story. The
teachers claim the district stalled the nego-
tiation process with the excuse that they did
not have sufficient funding to increase
teachers salary and benet package.
This (the district didnt have enough
money) was untrue, said Campbell, a phys-
ical education and French teacher at Tierra
Linda Middle School. The districts tactics
are exhausting, obstructive and offensive to
our highly qualied teachers. We hope
that they (the district) will not wait until the
summer to deal with the budget issues. There
was frustration with the process being
delayed so long. Wed like to hope that
wont be the pattern, so thats why wed like
to get the community informed.
But the district says funding is an issue.
Its constant backdrop was the projected
$1.5 million decit for the 2014-15 school
year. The governors May budget included
increased mandatory contribution to the
teachers retirement fund from the district.
The parties declared an impasse on May 21
for mediation.
Despite the districts repeated requests to
begin mediation as soon as possible, but
the SCTAdeclined to meet again until Aug.
13 and then only at the insistence of the
mediator. During the mediation, the district
offered various options to address rising
health care costs and provide salary increas-
es, but none were accepted, Baker and
Porter wrote.
Still, the district should be able to make a
commitment to the teachers, even with state
funding woes, Campbell said.
The parties went into the fact nding
process and the district was compelled to
make crucial decisions before the school
year started, the district said. Baker tried to
initiate discussions with the SCTAnegotia-
tion team to reach agreement instead of
merely waiting for the impasse process to
play itself out, the district said.
The school board votes 7 p.m. Oct. 9 at
1200 Industrial Road, Unit 9A in San
Carlos.

FRUSTRATION
SUBURBAN LIVING 17
Ramps and stairs make it easier for older pets to access beds, sofas, countertops and window seats.
By Kim Cook
Just as there are lots of products on
the market to help ease the aches,
pains and mobility issues of human
old age, so there is a good selection of
such products for senior dogs and cats,
as well.
EASY LIFTING
Arthritis is one of the most common
problems for dogs and cats as they age.
Give em a boost, says Amy
Shojai, a certified animal behavior
consultant in Sherman, Texas, and
author of Complete Care for your
Aging Cat and Complete Care for
your Aging Dog (Cool Gus
Publishing, 2010). Cats love high
spots to snooze and lounge, but may
not be able to manage the leap. Move
a chair or even a cardboard box close to
a window or bed to give them a leg up.
Ramps and stairs make it easier for
older pets to access beds, sofas, coun-
tertops and window seats. There are
folding, carpeted ramps that can go in
the car or be easily stored.
Solvit makes a high-traction ramp
that attaches to stairs or the lift of an
SUV to help arthritic dogs. The col-
lapsible, ultralight design makes it
handy for travel or car errands. And at
home, carpeted or upholstered portable
pet stairs can be positioned wherever a
pet needs to go up or down. Look for
ones that sit rmly on the ground, with
a good wide stair base. Many come in a
range of materials to coordinate with
your decor. (www.wayfair.com)
Pets with hip or back problems
might appreciate having their food
bowl raised up off the oor. Raised
dishes in frames made of metal, wood,
plastic or ceramic ease the strain on
aging necks. Some can be height-
adjusted.
BETTER BOXES
Aging cats might need bigger litter
boxes or ones with lower sides for bet-
ter access and aim, says Dr. Louise
Murray, vice president of the ASPCA
Animal Hospital in New York City.
Lucky Champ, for instance, has a
roomy one with a low entry ramp.

Critter comforts for older pets
Cast homework
in the right light
By Lisa A. Flam
If you cant imagine how your kids can possibly see
well enough to do their homework as they sprawl out on
the floor, their beds or the couch; fear not: Though good
lighting for the homework hour (or hours) is often for-
gotten, it is simple to achieve.
Sometimes we get so focused on making the room look
cute, we can overlook the importance of the spaces hav-
ing to function well, says Chicago designer Ruthie
Stebbins.
Lighting options are plentiful at any budget, and online
shopping can help you narrow the options.
(You) can always find something pretty at any price
point, said Stebbins, of RHS i + d. Its out there.
It stands to reason that kids will be more productive and
efficient when they can see clearly.
The more easily you can read something, the more eas-
ily you can learn it, said Dr. Pamela Gallin, a pediatric
ophthalmologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
Good light will help you learn more easily.
Light should be bright enough to be comfortable; if
kids are moving away from it or squinting, its likely too
bright. It should not cast distracting shadows, and should
illuminate an area beyond the work at hand, rather than
serving as a high-contrast spotlight, Gallin said.
The ideal is a well-lit room with extra light at the
homework page, she said. You dont want an island of
light in a sea of dark.
However, the age-old way to sneak in just a few more
pages before bedtime wont hurt them.
If theyre reading a book under the blanket with a
flashlight, theyre not doing any harm, Gallin said,
although not being able to see clearly or straining to see
could cause a headache.
Without good light, youre not causing physical
harm, she said, but youre not at tip-top productivity,
either.
Stebbins says that layering the light that is, using
more than one light source in a room boosts the aes-
thetics and functionality of a space.
In a childs bedroom or playroom, she likes to use a
flush or semi-flush ceiling fixture or recessed lighting to
evenly light the room and eliminate high-contrast areas
bright and dark spots in a room. Then, she illuminates
the space where a child is working with a lamp.
Layered light adds to overall ambiance and warmth of
the room, said Stebbins.
If your child sits at a desk, look for a lamp with at least
60 watts of light and tall enough to cover a wide-enough
area to avoid the spotlight effect, Gallin said.
Lamps for the floor and the desk are commonly turned
out with metal shades, but Stebbins prefers paper and
linen shades because they lower the contrast by diffusing
the light.
See PETS, Page 18

SUBURBAN LIVING
If your kids study or read on the oor or
couch, try parking a oor lamp behind them
to wash their textbooks in light. If youre
not sitting at a desk or at surface, then you
want over-your-shoulder light, Gallin said.
As with a desk lamp, the scale of a oor
lamp is important. If a child is reading while
lying on the carpet or plopped in a beanbag
chair, the light shouldnt be too far from the
oor.
You want to keep the light directed with-
in 24 inches of those pages, Stebbins said.
If her knees are the surface, you might be
looking for a oor lamp that has multiple
bulbs you can direct around.
With so many kids using computers for
school, parents should take extra care to
keep the contrast low in the homework
space.
The environment should be as soft and
evenly lit as possible so the high contrast
on the screen isnt exaggerated by a high-
contrast light in the room, Stebbins said.
While these are ideal lighting scenarios,
Gallin urged parents to pick their battles
wisely.
LIGHT
Shojai suggests a plastic, low-sided,
shirt-box storage container. And add an
extra potty or two; ensure at least one is on
each side of the house or oor.
You can nd dog and cat diaper pants and
pads at www.seniorpetproducts.com if
incontinence is a problem.
BODY TEMPERATURE
Heating pads and beds soothe achy
arthritis and help older pets become more
flexible, says Shojai. A heating pad
slipped underneath the small pets regular
bed or blanket may do the trick.
The Lectro Kennel electric pad can be
temperature adjusted. (www.petco.com)
If overheating is the issue, consider the
Cool Pet Pad. Its gel-lled and activated by
the animals weight, staying cool for three
to four hours. You can place it in a crate or
car, on the oor, or on a bed to help ease
overheating or inflammation.
(www.allmodern.com)
SLEEP TIGHT
Memory-foam mattresses and pillows
have been a boon to pets. Six inches of
foam covered in microfiber and fleece
makes a cozy snooze spot in the Great
Paw Triple Support Orthopedic Pillow.
(www.allmodern.com)
Kohls stocks the Happy Hounds dog bed,
capacious enough for large breeds but easi-
ly accommodating two or three diminutive
friends on a soft, Sherpa-fleece-covered
mattress. (www.kohls.com)
For pets having trouble climbing onto
anything, including a thick pet bed, a
lower-to-the-oor sleep zone may be the
answer. Homegoods has less dense yet still
comfy dog beds in faux furs. (www.home-
goods.com)
KEEP THEM SIPPING
Older pets especially cats dont
always drink as much water as they should.
Pet water fountains that aerate the water
make it taste better and encourage water
intake, Shojai says. Major pet chains
stock several varieties.
CRUISE CONTROL
Older pets can still enjoy fresh-air out-
ings with the help of some clever transport
devices. Shojai says a big beach towel can
be employed as a sling to help a dog from a
prone position, but she also likes the range
of available locomotion assists. Adjustable
wheelchairs and body harnesses are avail-
able at www.k9carts.com . Go for a walk or
jog with a pet stroller; many are equipped
with weather screens, and some with
removable carriers or space for more than
one furry friend.

Weve been picking owers and sticking
them in containers for thousands of years.
The early Egyptians did it, as did the
Chinese: Feng Shui guidelines
for creating harmony in a
home suggest placing
vases of fresh-cut owers
throughout the dwelling
to relieve stress, and
increase productivity and
creativity. Ikebana, the 600-
year-old art of Japanese ower
arranging, became a craft of high
regard, with a spiritual element.
Today, artisans, designers and
even orists continue to dream up interest-
ing new vessels.
New York City-based floral designer
Matthew Robbins has created a simple
line of vases for Teroforma that takes
some of the guesswork out of ower arrang-
ing. Each vase Bud, Cutting, Bouquet,
Branch describes what works best in it,
and each is crafted of the same neutral white
bisque porcelain, with a subtle yet referen-
tial etched motif. (www.teroforma.com)
We wanted to create a line of vases
that provided a per-
fect visual anchor
for fresh flowers.
Clean shapes and
surfaces are
wo n d e r f u l ;
they keep the
focus on the
f l o we r s ,
s a y s
Robbins.
The Museum of
Modern Arts store offered
several interesting vases at
this springs design preview
in New York. French design
team Charlotte Arnal and
Francis Fevres Zouzous vase
is a polycarbonate receptacle
enrobed in a shaggy coat of colorful
polypropylene bristles.
Also at the MoMA store, Charlie Guda
perches a narrow vial in front of a small yet
powerful lens to magnify a single ower.
Guda created the Big Bloom vase as homage
to 18th century French physician Augustin-
Jean Fresnel, who invented a lens to
enhance the brightness of lighthouse
lanterns and contributed to naval naviga-
tion safety. And Ricardo Saint Clairs play-
ful chalkboard-faced vase gives you a sur-
face to add an image or a message, and
comes complete with chalk. (www.momas-
tore.org)
Bliss Home and Design has an array of
ceramic vases with textural elements that
add drama: The Pompon vase is festooned
with white balls; the Sea Sponge is made of
layers of glazed clay resembling fronds of
ocean sponge, and Monkey Paw is made of
dozens of iridescent ceramic blooms.
(www.blisshomeanddesign.com)
Toronto-based design outfit Chive has
decided to focus solely on selling vases. At
the NY Now show in February, their booth
was abuzz with buyers placing orders for
Pooley 2, a cluster of glazed ceramic bud
vases affixed to a slab, as well as the
Hudson 4 collection of clear glass vessels
in congurations ranging from simple sin-
gle shapes (such as a hanging egg) to con-
joined vases that form caterpillar or bub-
bles. Aporcelain bird vase in gray, white,
blue or black seems to rest on the owers or
greenery placed in a receptacle at its feet.
(www.chive.com)
Waterfords Evolution series has some
striking examples of artisanal glasswork.
The Menagerie Trinidad vase interprets the
markings of a graceful ocelot, while the
Nairobi invokes the bold stripes of a zebra.
The Agate vase was inspired by the colors
and concentric bands of quartz agate.
(www.macys.com)
Ikeas Socker vase is an enameled steel-
and-eucalyptus-handled bucket of diminu-
tive proportions, so owers displayed in it
have the look of a European ower market.
Ikaprig is a stoneware cylinder with a
homespun aesthetic. (www.ikea.com )
Right at Home: Variations on the vase
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Dean Fosdick
Maybe its time to rethink the
way we landscape using tulips.
True, the familiar, large, goblet-
shaped blooms make a colorful
springtime splash grouped in beds
and pots. But those hybrids are
softies compared to their wild
ancestors species tulips grow-
ing in unforgiving sites from
Algeria to China. They thrive in
problem areas.
Tulips are not native to Holland,
but growers there over the past 400
years have built an industry around
developing hybrids for the com-
mercial trade. Their classic tulips
perform best with fertile soil and
an ample moisture supply.
Thats not the story, however,
with clones of the botanical or
species tulips. Those you can plant
and forget. Neglect them. Sear
them under the sun. Simply scratch
the small bulbs into some gravel or
tuck them into rocky crevices and
theyll survive that austerity just as
they have the harsh, hardscrabble
mountain conditions of
Afghanistan, Switzerland,
Kazakhstan, Turkey or Mongolia.
Wild tulips are better adapted to
difficult conditions, said
Christian Curless, a horticulturist
for the flower bulb company
Colorblends.com.
Theyre happiest with parched
conditions in summer places
where the grass dries up, he said.
These are the kinds of owers you
can plant in a rock garden or ele-
vated a little bit for good
drainage.
Botanical tulips differ visibly
from their hybrid progeny.
They tend, in general, to be
smaller ner in ower and in
foliage, Curless said. They have
more of a starry-eyed look to
them.
Wild tulips have been trendy in
Europe since they were introduced
by botanical expeditions in the
early 20th century, said Eric Breed,
a Dutch bulb expert and tulip
hunter. Also, in the U.S.A., they
have been popular since the 1960s
and 70s when large numbers
became available from nurseries in
Holland, he said.
Like most spring-blooming
bulbs, species tulips should be
planted in the fall. Get them in the
ground early enough so their roots
can develop before the soil freezes.
Skip the fertilizers and go easy
on the watering. Moisture can be a
problem, Curless said. Too much
love.
Species tulips arent perennials
but they do live longer than the
familiar standard varieties, with
bulbs producing blooms through
at least several seasons. Their
bloom period ranges from early
spring well into June. They per-
form best in USDAZones 3 to 7.
Shop for labels specifying the
genus Tulipa, about 100 species
of which have been cloned for
domestic use.
Look to the low-growing Tulipa
tarda for white owers with a yel-
low eye. It naturalizes somewhat
and tolerates black walnut trees.
The Tulipa bakeri has lilac-col-
ored petals with yellow centers,
and partners well with dwarf daf-
fodils. Tulipa kaufmanniana is
said to resemble a water lily when
fully open and is among the rst
to ower in spring. The Tulipa
turkestanica delivers fragrant
white petals having orange cen-
ters, and is a repeat bloomer.
One caution: Although species
tulips are better at handling harsh
growing conditions than are most
modern-day tulip hybrids, theyre
just as vulnerable to predation.
In my (Connecticut) garden,
chipmunks devastate them,
Curless said. So will deer, voles
and squirrels if they know where
they are.
Go wild: Plant species tulips for early color
Tulips are not native to Holland, but growers there over the past 400 years have built an industry around
developing hybrids for the commercial trade.

accountable to the law, said Eric
Buescher, an attorney representing
Surfrider with the rm Cotchett, Pitre &
McCarthy.
Khoslas attorney Jeffrey Essner did
not return a call for comment, but
argued in court his client was unfairly
scrutinized because of his wealth and
said forcing him to reopen Martins
Beach violated his private property
rights. Essner also contended Khosla
maintained similar access to that of the
previous owners who would close the
beach at their leisure during inclement
weather.
The county, the Coastal
Commission and now Surfrider by this
action, and [Surfrider attorney] Mr.
Cotchetts demands for penalties, are
forcing my client to accede his consti-
tutional rights by extortion and give
up a protected and cherished (private
property) right, Essner said during
closing arguments July 16. This is
forbidden by the Supreme Court and the
United States Constitution.
Both parties have 15 days to object
to Mallachs decision before she issues
a final decision, Buescher said. He
added Surfrider was not yet sure if it
would object to her decision not to
impose nes up to $1,500 per day for
violations.
Days in court
The trial, which included six court
days, a site visit to Martins Beach,
testimony from 17 witnesses and 53
exhibits admitted into evidence,
hinged on whether forbidding the pub-
lic from entering the property and
removing signs altered the lands use.
Defendants conduct in changing
the publics access to and use of the
water, beach and coast at Martins
Beach, specifically by permanently
closing and locking a gate to the pub-
lic across Martins Beach Road, adding
signs to the gate, changing the mes-
sages on the billboard on the property
and hiring security guards to deter the
public from crossing or using the prop-
erty to access the water, beach and
coast at Martins Beach without a
Coastal Development Permit(s) consti-
tutes a violation of the California
Coastal Act, Mallach wrote in her ten-
tative statement of decision.
Surfrider attorney Mark Massara said
they were thrilled Mallach agreed
across the board with their legal theo-
ries and analysis. Yet the law provides
those who violate the Coastal Act
should be penalized, Massara said.
He knew (he was in violation) and
thats why all along we have argued
that this is a case, particularly because
hes a billionaire, that not only justi-
fies but requires imposition of the
highest possible penalties, Massara
said.
Continued efforts
Massara said it was critical Surfrider
take on the civil lawsuit to ensure
Martins Beach wouldnt be a lasting
detriment to the publics right to access
other coastal resources.
His underlying theory is just
because its private property he can
close off and eliminate permanent, his-
torical beach access. It was something
that he and other property owners up
and down the coast would have been
encouraged to pursue and it was impera-
tive that we re-establish the law that a
change in use of the coast requires a
permit, Massara said.
The fight to reopen the crescent
shape of coast just south of Half Moon
Bay has been touted as a critical reafr-
mation of the publics right to access
the California coastline. Closure of the
beach incited two civil lawsuits, legis-
lation currently pending the gover-
nors signature and the Coastal
Commission hosting an evidentiary
survey to establish prescriptive rights.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
proposed legislation that would require
Khosla to negotiate with the State
Lands Commission to reinstate public
access by Jan. 1, 2016. If no compro-
mise can be met, the SLC could use its
authority to create a right-of-way
access road through condemnation.
The bill, which easily passed the
Senate, only narrowly made it through
the Assembly with amendments due to
lobbying efforts afforded by Khosla.
The bill was approved by the
Legislature Aug. 21, however, it
requires Gov. Jerry Browns signature
by Tuesday.
Hill said its critical his bill and the
Coastal Commission proceed as the
Surfrider case could be tied up for years.
Thats why were working closely
with the governors ofce to win his
support and come to some resolution.
We need a solution that will give long-
term access to that beach as it histori-
cally has been. Thats what the legisla-
tion will do and thats why its still
important. If [Khosla] will appeal this,
Im sure that ght will continue for
many years.
Massara agreed the public, activists
and those who wish Martins Beach
stay a public asset, must continue to
advocate for open access.
If past history is any indicator,
Surfrider, in particular, and the public,
in particular, and surfers and shermen,
are not going to give up on Martins
Beach, Massara said. Were going to
continue to work until access to
Martins Beach is conrmed in perpetu-
ity.
BEACH
pay $1,889 in nes and complete the
First Offender Program, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
Scott was also sentenced to two days
in jail but will likely undergo communi-
ty service through the Sheriffs Ofce
instead, District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said.
I think this shows, as is the case in
our county and hopefully everywhere, it
doesnt matter if youre a judge or any-
one else; that the justice system tries to
treat everyone equally. He got no spe-
cial favors here, Wagstaffe said.
Scott originally pleaded not guilty
Aug. 2 and, had he not changed his
plea, would have faced an Oct. 27 jury
trial.
I think on his behalf, he wants peo-
ple to know he expresses remorse for
what happened and he accepts all obli-
gations, Scotts defense attorney
Richard Keyes said.
Wagstaffe and Keyes said Scott has
continued to preside in court since his
arrest and any suspension would have to
be ordered by the states Commission
on Judicial Performance.
Scott had a blood alcohol level of .12
when he was pulled over around 12:30
a.m. May 23. Scott was initially pulled
over because was seen weaving while
driving north on Highway 101 near
Woodside Road, according to Redwood
City police.
Scott was facing two misdemeanor
charges, one for having a blood alcohol
content above .08 and the other for
driving under the inuence.
Scott was taken to the First Chance
sobering station in Burlingame where
he was cited and released.
At the time of his arrest, Scott was the
assistant presiding judge, which is the
second highest rank in San Mateo
County Superior Court. He is currently
serving as the family law supervising
judge and trial judge.
Scott joined the bench in 2003 and
his current six-year term expires in
2017. He has no prior DUI convictions
and the last San Mateo County Superior
Court judge prosecuted for one in the
county was in the 1970s.

Italy stages Ebola evacuation drill just in case
PRATICA DI MARE AIR BASE, Italy The patient, a
slight woman in her 30s, lay motionless on the stretcher as
a half-dozen men in biohazard suits transferred her from a C-
27J cargo plane into an ambulance and then into a mobile
hospital isolation ward, never once breaking the plastic
seal encasing her.
The exercise put on Wednesday was just a simulation of
the procedures that would be used to evacuate an Ebola
patient to Italy. But for Italian military, Red Cross and
health care workers, it offered essential experience, espe-
cially for those on the front lines of the countrys sea-res-
cue operation involving thousands of African migrants who
arrive here every day in smugglers boats.
Italian authorities and medical experts insist that the risk
of Ebola spreading from Africa to Europe is small, given
that the virus only spreads by direct contact with infected
blood or other bodily uids.
Around the world
By Paul Schemm
and Karim Kebir
ALGIERS, Algeria An Algerian
splinter group from al-Qaida has
beheaded a French hostage over
Frances airstrikes on the Islamic State
group, in a sign of the possible widen-
ing of the crisis in Iraq and Syria to the
rest of the region.
The killing of Herve Gourdel, a
mountaineer who was kidnapped while
hiking in Algeria, was a cowardly
assassination, a visibly upset French
President Francois Hollande said
Wednesday, but he vowed to continue
the military operation.
Herve Gourdel is dead because he is
the representative of a people ours
that defends human dignity against
barbarity, Hollande said on the side-
lines of the U.N. General Assembly
meeting in New York. France will
never cede to terrorism because it is our
duty, and, more than that, because it is
our honor.
On Friday, France joined the U.S. in
conducting airstrikes on the Islamic
State group in Iraq. Two days later, the
Islamic State group called on Muslims
to attack foreign targets, and the
response in Algeria raised the specter
of attacks on Westerners elsewhere.
Gourdel, a 55-year-old mountaineer-
ing guide from Nice, was seized Sunday
night while hiking in the Djura Djura
mountains of northern Algeria. His
Algerian companions were released.
A group calling itself Jund al-
Khilafah, or Soldiers of the
Caliphate, split from al-Qaida and
pledged allegiance to the Islamic State
group two weeks ago. It seized Gourdel
in response to the call to kill the
spiteful and lthy French. It gave
France 24 hours to end its air cam-
paign.
A video posted online showed
masked gunmen standing over a kneel-
ing Gourdel. They pledged their alle-
giance to the leader of the Islamic State
group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said
they were ghting his enemies. The
video showed the captive pushed to the
ground and blindfolded before he was
beheaded.
