Seniors now able to grab a Lyft


Nonprofit, health care district offers discount rides to Little House members
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Transportation is a hot-button
topic for nearly everyone commuting in the Bay Area. But one
local nonprofit and special district are starting to use the increasingly popular ride sharing econo-

my for a somewhat unlikely demographic seniors.


Peninsula Volunteers and the
Sequoia Healthcare District have
teamed up with Lyft to help ablebodied seniors avoid isolation by
offering discounted rides to those
visiting local senior centers.
Currently a small pilot program,

the nonprofit connects older


adults who are no longer driving
with rides to the Little House senior center in Menlo Park. Seniors
pay just $4 per Lyft, while the
health care district picks up the
remainder, said Peter Olson, interim executive director of Peninsula
Volunteers, and health care district

CEO Lee Michelson.


One of the things thats a constant discussion for older adults
and people who serve them is
transportation. It always comes
up as a major concern. Especially
for people who stop driving. They
often become socially isolated
and its not always convenient for

them to use public transportation


and taxis can be expensive. So
were looking for more options,
Michelson said.
Just a month into the program,
there are about 15 to 19 regular
users whove reported positive

Building community through communication


Podcast project aims to share untold stories of Burlingame residents
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the speed of life seemingly


ticks incrementally faster and
locals may feel they have less time
than ever to engage with their
neighbors, a local librarian could
have found an innovative solution
to strengthening community
bonds in Burlingame.
Tommy McMahon, the adult
services
manager
at
the
Burlingame Library, launched a
podcast designed to document and
share the unique stories of local
residents and community members.
The Me, You, We series is
designed to serve as a central hub
of archives available online which

McMahon.

people
who
live and work here, with the understanding that people dont really
get to know each other anymore,
he said.
Through the eight episodes published after countless hours of
interviewing, editing and producing, McMahon said he is hopeful
the series will eventually work

toward defining a more clear


vision
of life today
in
Burlingame.
I want to take the me and us of
the community and make a more
collective understanding of we,
he said.
The archives, available at meyouwepodcast.com or iTunes, tell
the stories of local business owners, library employees and
patrons, residents and others.
McMahon said he has been
encouraged by the relative success
of the project, which was made
possible partially by a state grant,
as it has collected more than 1,000
listens so far.

Consultants, a demography firm

His reputation as a reliable forecaster over the past three decades
has helped officials allocate public money to build school campuses and classrooms across San
Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
But amidst the severe regional

affordability crises, Williams is


grappling with an unprecedented
cultural shift.
In approximate terms, most
families are not going to be able
to afford a majority of the homes,
he said.
The result, he said, is an expected dip in enrollment rates throughout most of the Peninsula as many
families living locally cannot
afford to have children while trying to keep their head above water
during the housing crunch.
It just shows how much housing prices are killing everything,
he said.
Such a scenario has shrunk the

Science through experimenting


Biotech company sponsors innovative science curriculum in local classrooms
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Capuchino High School students enrolled


in Kimberly Salas biology class can use
state-of-the-art technology during genetic
engineering lessons through a cutting-edge
curriculum delivered by a local biotechnology giant.
Amgen, a biopharmaceutical research and
development company with offices in South
San Francisco, offered Salas a professional
development opportunity and the tools to
best deliver the teachings built around
experimentation to her class of aspiring
researchers.
She said the chance to offer hands-on lessons has been tremendously helpful in
inspiring and captivating high schoolers
who may otherwise be alienated by the
potentially obscure field of study.
I would say it would be impossible to do
this getting it out of a book, she said. I
mean I would have a few kids who could
grasp it, but its not going to mean a thing
to them whatsoever. The meaning really
comes with doing the experiments and
learning the science behind the experiments.
Her findings are consistent with those in
a recent report authored by Amgen, which
shows many high school students have an
interest in science, but may struggle with
wrapping their brains around the subject
unless they are offered an opportunity to
experiment in the classroom.
Initiatives available through the Amgen
Biotechnology Experience, which is the
training program in which Salas participated, are aimed at making active learning
opportunities available to students locally,
and across the nation.
To date, the program has trained 50 teachers and reached more than 20,000 students

in the Bay Area over its


nearly 10 years of operation, said Carol Pawlak, a
representative of the
Amgen
Foundation,
which is the companys
philanthropic arm.
The ultimate goal of
the initiative is to spark
Kimberly Salas an interest in science
among high school students, in hopes of them following a career
path toward making discoveries which could
shape the future, said Pawlak.
One thing about scientists is that they
catch that science bug and learning bug
early, usually in high school, said Pawlak.
In talking with them, you recognize how
much that influenced their decision to pursue a career in science.
Salas said the creative lessons such as cultivating bacteria treated with genetically
altered plasma she has offered through the
Amgen program has paid similar dividends,
as students who leave her class frequently
feel the biotech labs are their favorite part
of their curriculum.

Former students
Some former students have gone on to
take jobs in the life sciences industry,
which Salas credited in part to the biotechnology lessons they received in her class.
Even if a student does not go on to pursue
a career in science, Salas said it is enjoyable
for her as an educator to see the lessons take
hold of a classroom.
You can tell kids one thing, but when
they actually see things change, its great,
she said.
She has seen lessons in the biotech field
focused on altering genetic cultures illuminate the eyes and minds of students who otherwise may sneer at science, she said.

At that moment when everyone realizes


their experiment has worked and that it is
successful, you can hear the cheer and see
the light in the eyes of the kids eyes, she
said. They are impressed. They get it.
Salas said she especially appreciated the
flexible design of the curriculum, as it
allows teachers to offer the lessons at their
own pace in a schedule which best fits the
needs of their class.

Contribution
She also noted the significant monetary
contribution of Amgen to offer the training,
as well as sponsor the equipment for the lessons. She estimated the courses cost in the
neighborhood of $500, which could become
more expensive depending on the amount of
students who take the lessons.
Such an immersive and innovative curriculum would not be possible under the
constraints of a normal school budget, said
Salas, which makes the contribution even
more valuable.
I feel really fortunate to be connected to
the Amgen people and to use the equipment, she said. Thats a lot of money I
dont know what we would do without that.
After developing an intimate understanding of just how useful the program can be to
teach innovative and creative lessons, Salas
said she could not imagine delivering the
curriculum in any other fashion.
Theres no comparison, she said. I
think if I didnt have the equipment and the
materials, I would really just have to brush
over biotech.

Pot exhibit aims for debate


By Kristin J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Its known as


Mary Jane, ganja, Chronic and
even the sticky icky and has been
featured in countless movies,
including one that warned of its
dangers, Reefer Madness.
Now, marijuana is the subject of
a contemporary history and science exhibit.
Altered State: Marijuana in
California, a one-of-its-kind
museum exhibition focusing on
the topic, is open through the
summer at the Oakland Museum of
California.
Set against the backdrop of a
California ballot measure this
year asking voters to legalize mar-

ijuanas recreational use, the exhibition features artwork, political


documents and posters, scientific
displays, and interactive and multimedia exhibits all meant to provoke questions and conversations
about the provocative plant.
We have designed an open and
participatory
experience to
engage anyone who has an opinion or wants to learn more about
the complex issues and information about this topic, said
Associate Curator of Natural
Sciences Sarah Seiter.
Were interested in presenting
a forum for all sides of deep community conversations about marijuana, its history, politics, culture
and impacts on our state, Seiter
said.

The exhibit comes at a time


when 35 states already have medical marijuana laws on the books
and four states and Washington,
D. C. , have legalized weed for
recreational use.
It is organized into 10 different
areas of focus Cannabis
Science, Medical Marijuana,
Profitable Pot, Sacred Ganja,
Criminal Dope, Creative Grass,
Evil Weed, Politically Loaded,
Youth and Weed, and Recreational
Reefer. It was a two-year project
with about 100 collaborators.
Weed has a lot of fans, Seiter
said. We didnt want to open ourselves up to criticism. We wanted
to do our homework.
Highlights of the exhibition
include live and preserved speci-

mens of cannabis on loan to the


museum, a walk-in installation by
artist Cybele Lyle that alters viewers perspectives of space and
time,
and
a
Cannabis
Confessional that allows visitors to share their private, anonymous thoughts about marijuana.
All of us as individuals and as
staff have very personal and emotional reactions to pot, said Lori
Fogarty, the museums director. I
think a lot of that depends on
where you are in your life and your
own personal experiences. What
we were striving to do is move the
conversation beyond those purely
emotional reactions to a broader
understanding.
The exhibition runs through

NASAs Juno has cosmic date with Jupiter


By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A solar-powered spacecraft is spinning toward Jupiter for the closest encounter with the biggest planet in our
solar system.
NASAs Juno spacecraft fired its main
rocket engine late Monday to slow itself
down from a speed of 150, 000 mph
(250,000 kph) and slip into orbit around
Jupiter. With Juno on autopilot, the delicately choreographed move comes without
any help from ground controllers.
The spacecraft is traveling through a hostile radiation environment and rings of
debris and dust, making for very serious
hazards, Juno chief scientist Scott Bolton
said during a morning briefing. But Juno
should be able to withstand the harsh conditions because its built like an armored
tank, he said.
The spacecrafts camera and other instruments were switched off for arrival, so there
wont be any pictures at the moment it
reaches its destination. But NASA released a
series of images taken last week during the
approach, showing Jupiter glowing yellow
in the distance, circled by its four inner
moons.
Scientists also have promised close-up
views of the planet when Juno skims the
cloud tops during the 20-month, $1.1 billion mission.
The fifth rock from the sun and the heftiest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is
whats known as a gas giant a ball of
hydrogen and helium unlike rocky Earth
and Mars.

stripes, Jupiter is an extreme world that
likely formed first, shortly after the sun.
Unlocking its history may hold clues to
understanding how Earth and the rest of the
solar system developed.
Named after Jupiters cloud-piercing wife
in Roman mythology, Juno is only the second mission designed to spend time at
Jupiter.
Galileo, launched in 1989, circled Jupiter
for 14 years, beaming back splendid views
of the planet and its numerous moons. It
uncovered signs of an ocean beneath the icy

surface of the moon Europa, considered a


top target in the search for life outside
Earth.
Junos mission: To peer through Jupiters
cloud-socked atmosphere and map the interior from a unique vantage point above the
poles. Among the lingering questions: How
much water exists? Is there a solid core?
Why are Jupiters southern and northern
lights the brightest in the solar system?
What Junos about is looking beneath
that surface, Bolton said. Weve got to go
down and look at whats inside, see how its

built, how deep these features go, learn


about its real secrets.
Theres also the mystery of its Great Red
Spot. Recent observations by the Hubble
Space Telescope revealed the centuries-old
monster storm in Jupiters atmosphere is
shrinking.
The trek to Jupiter, spanning nearly five
years and 1.8 billion miles (2.8 billion
kilometers), took Juno on a tour of the
inner solar system followed by a swing past
Earth that catapulted it beyond the asteroid
belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Along the way, Juno became the first
spacecraft to cruise that far out powered by
the sun, beating Europes comet-chasing
Rosetta spacecraft.
A trio of massive solar wings sticks out
from Juno like blades from a windmill, generating 500 watts of power to run its nine
instruments.
Plans called for Juno to swoop within
3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) of Jupiters
clouds closer than previous missions
to map the planets gravity and magnetic
fields.
Juno, built by Lockheed Martin, is an
armored spacecraft its computer and electronics are locked in a titanium vault to
shield them from harmful radiation. Even
so, Juno is expected to get blasted with radiation equal to more than 100 million dental
X-rays during the mission.
Like Galileo before it, Juno meets its
demise in 2018 when it deliberately dives
into Jupiters atmosphere and disintegrates a necessary sacrifice to prevent
any chance of accidentally crashing into

Trump plans celebrity convention


By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Donald Trumps


team promises an extraordinary
display of political entertainment
at this months Republican
National Convention, with the
accent on entertainment.
The former reality television
star plans to feature his high-profile children at the summer gathering in Cleveland, with the hope
theyll be joined by a number of
celebrity supporters. Prospects
include former Indiana basketball
coach Bobby Knight, New
England Patriots quarterback Tom
Brady and longtime boxing promoter Don King.
Im going to be involved, definitely, said King, who lives in
Cleveland and is a passionate supporter of the presumptive
Republican nominee. Hes my
man. I love him. Hes going to be
the next president.
While those bold-face names
have yet to be confirmed, the fact
theyre on Trumps list is a
reminder that many of the
Republican Partys biggest stars
arent willing to appear on his
behalf. The GOPs two living
presidents, George H.W. Bush and

George
W.
Bush, its most
recent presidential nominee,
Mitt
Romney, and
O h i o s
R e p ub l i c a n
governor, John
all
Donald Trump Kasich,
plan to avoid
the four-day event that traditionally serves as a powerful display of
party unity heading into the sprint
toward Election Day.
Hes going to have to bring all
his skills to bear to make this
work, not just in Cleveland, but
for the next four months, said
Matt Borges, the Ohio Republican
Party chairman. It wont be easy,
but thats what hes got to do.
Trumps team says hes up it.
This is not going to be your
typical party convention like
years
past,
said
Trump
spokesman Jason Miller. Donald
Trump is better suited than just
about any candidate in memory to
put together a program thats outside of Washington and can appeal
directly to the American people.
When Hillary Clinton hosts her
party at the Democratic National
Convention the following week,

shell face a different issue entirely: how to squeeze in the many


popular, prominent Democrats
backing her campaign.
Along with Clinton and her
eventual vice presidential pick,
there are sure to be speeches from
President Barack Obama, Vice
President Joe Biden, first lady
Michelle Obama and, of course,
the candidates husband, former
President Bill Clinton.
Theres also Massachusetts Sen.
Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of
progressives and one of Trumps
fiercest critics. Warren is on
Clintons running-mate shortlist
but will surely be slotted for a
prominent convention speech
even if shes not selected.
By necessity as much as preference, Trumps team is crafting a far
different lineup. Former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of the
likely speakers, praised Trumps
plan to use his celebrity connections to reach a broader audience.
Trump understands that if he
can appeal to consumer America,
he drowns political America,
Gingrich told the Associated
Press. He said he had little idea of
what kind of show to expect, but
recalled a recent conversation
with a Trump family member who

confidently told him, We know


how to do conventions.
My children are all going to be
speaking: Ivanka, Tiffany, Don,
Eric. Theyre going to be speaking, Trump said Friday during an
appearance at the Western
Conservative Summit in Denver.
My wife is going to be speaking
at the convention. Were going to
have a great time.
Trumps campaign has also been
in touch with aides to chief primary rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz,
who has been trying to win a
speaking slot. Other national
leaders
under
consideration
include former United Nations
Ambassador John Bolton, West
Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore
Capito, Washington Rep. Cathy
McMorris Rodgers and Gingrich.
Some celebrities backing Trump
have passed on the chance to be a
part of the show. Among them:
former Chicago Bears coach Mike
Ditka, who told the Chicago
Tribune last week, I spoke with
Mr. Trump this afternoon, and he
invited me. But I dont think Im
going to go.
Clintons speaking program,
too, isnt without its uncomfortable riddles. Theres no public
sense yet of what role shell give to

Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator whose surprisingly strong challenge in the Democratic primary
has yet to officially come to an end.
Sanders says hell vote for Clinton,
but hes yet to formally endorse her
and is pushing for changes to the
Democratic platform.
Ivanka Trump predicted in a
recent radio interview the GOP
convention would be a great combination of our great politicians,
but also great American businessmen and women and leaders across
industry and leaders across really
all sectors, from athletes to coaches and everything in between.
I think it will be a convention
unlike any weve ever seen, she
said. It will be substantive. It
will be interesting. It will be different. Its not going to be a hohum lineup of, you know, the typical politicians.
And that will still leave room
for complaints from Trumps
Republican skeptics.
Whatever you want to say
about Trump, hes been a showman. And I expect something
completely different, said former
Kasich adviser Jai Chabria. I find
it hard to believe that thats going
to be enough to put him over the
top.

Under fire as usual, Clinton ramps up her trust campaign


By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Clinton trust campaign is turning to powerful advocates,


chief among them President Barack Obama,
to vouch for the Democratic candidate shadowed by an FBI investigation on the brink
of her presidential nomination.
Clinton herself acknowledges that she
has work to do to earn the trust of voters
after nearly four decades in public life as she
faces Republican Donald Trump in the general election. And shes called in help from
advocates to attest to her good heart, as
Sen. Elizabeth Warren put it whatever the
results of the FBI probe into Clintons private email server while she was secretary of
state.

On Sundays news shows, Sen. Sherrod


Brown, R-Ohio, and Labor Secretary Tom
Perez both potential running mates for
the Democratic ticket explicitly talked
about Clinton and trust.
On Tuesday, Obama is set to join Clinton
in a campaign event in battleground North
Carolina meant to personalize the I trust
Hillary theme. Its the presidents first
appearance with his former secretary of
state during the 2016 campaign. Vice
President Joe Biden will reinforce the message Friday in his hometown of Scranton,
Pennsylvania, with Clinton at his side.
Trust is on the lips of Democrats
because its a remarkable vulnerability that
persists for Clinton, despite and because of
her decades of public life. And the timing of
her credibility campaign is no accident.

Her husband, former

met last Monday with
the FBIs boss, Attorney
General Loretta Lynch,
on the tarmac in Phoenix
in a session both say was
innocent but regrettable.
Then, five days later, the
Hillary Clinton FBI interviewed Hillary
Clinton for more than
three hours about whether she exposed government secrets by blending personal and
official business on a home email server.
She immediately gave an interview with
NBCs Meet the Press in which she denied
wrongdoing and repeated an acknowledgment she had slipped into a speech last
week on the same day Warren vouched for
her.
Clinton told NBC she will do everything
I can to earn the trust of the voters of our
country and added: I know thats some-

thing that Im going to keep working on,


and I think thats, you know, a clear priority for me.
After Warren had endorsed her, Clinton
acknowledged shed made mistakes. I dont
know anyone who hasnt.
Questions about Clintons ethics have
dogged her from her days as first lady of
Arkansas and later the United States during
Bill Clintons governorship and presidency, through her service a senator from New
York, her failed 2008 presidential campaign
and as Obamas secretary of state. So pervasive has the image been that her opponents
have only to utter buzzwords like
Whitewater the name of the Clintons
failed land deal in which neither was implicated in wrongdoing to invoke the image
of what Trump terms, Crooked Hillary.
Not helping the trust campaign: the Bill
Clinton-Loretta Lynch meeting. I learned
about it in the news, Hillary Clinton told
NBC on Saturday.

UN warns of starvation in Syrian towns


By Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The top U.N. official


in Syria on Monday demanded
immediate and unconditional
humanitarian access to tens of
thousands of people trapped in
four towns, warning of starvation.
The International Committee of
the Red Cross meanwhile released
drone footage showing extensive
damage to Ramadi, which was
taken back from the Islamic State
group in December after heavy
fighting that devastated much of
the Iraqi city.
Aid must be allowed to reach
Madaya, Zabadani, Foua, and
Kafraya, the U.N.s resident coordinator, Yacoub El Hillo, said in
Damascus. Madaya and Zabadani,
just outside the capital, are encircled by pro-government forces,
while rebels are blockading Foua
and Kafraya, in the countrys

northwest.
The towns have been besieged
since last year, with aid convoys
allowed only sporadically to
replenish food and medical
stocks. The last delivery was made
in April.
Aid group Doctors Without
Borders says 16 people died in
Madaya from siege conditions in
January, even after aid was allowed
in. El Hillo said the U.N. is calling on all parties involved to
ensure this doesnt happen
again.
El Hillo also urged combatants
to allow medical evacuations.
Activists in Madaya have
launched a campaign to evacuate
the journalist Abdelwahab Ahmad,
who was hospitalized from a bullet
wound last week.
Ahmad had drawn attention to
the siege through a media campaign last December. The images
and clips of emaciated children

transmitted from the town sparked


an international outcry.
Wafiqa Hashem, a schoolteacher
inside Madaya, said residents were
burning blankets and clothes in
their cook stoves after running out
of other sources of fuel.
The U.N. says 62,000 people
are trapped in the four towns.
Their fates are linked through a
reciprocal agreement between
rebel groups and the Syrian government. For each medical evacuation from a government-besieged
town, for example, a patient must
be evacuated from a town besieged
by rebels, and vice versa.
U. N. officials have said the
agreement obstructs aid delivery,
and El Hillo said it should be
scrapped.
An estimated half million people are trapped in 18 areas the
U. N. classifies as besieged,
though the independent monitoring group Siege Watch puts the

number at one million. Pro-government forces are responsible for


most of the sieges, according to
observers.
It was not until late June that the
U.N. was able to reach the last of
the 18 areas with aid, and officials
say they need open corridors, not
one-off deliveries. Jan Egeland,
the U.N. humanitarian adviser for
Syria, said last week that only 60
percent of people in besieged
areas have really gotten help.
The head of the ICRC meanwhile
called on leaders in both Syria and
Iraq to show vision and courage to
end the conflicts in the two countries. His message was timed to
coincide with the end of the holy
month of Ramadan, a period of
charity and celebration.
Even as Ramadan comes to an
end, many ordinary people are living in abject fear and terrifying
uncertainty, Peter Maurer said. A
humanitarian catastrophe is

Security ordered tightened as


death toll in Baghdad hits 157
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD As the death toll from the


weekend truck bombing in Baghdad climbed
to 157, Iraqs embattled prime minister
ordered new security measures, including
abandoning the use of bomb-detection
wands that U.S. experts pronounced worthless years ago.
But security forces were still using the
devices Monday evening, as a string of
smaller bombings in the capital killed 16
people and wounded dozens more.
Sundays suicide attack by the Islamic
State group was the single deadliest bombing to hit Baghdad in more than a decade of
war and insurgency.
Also Monday, five convicted terrorists
were executed in Baghdad, the Ministry of
Justice said in an announcement that
appeared aimed at restoring faith in Iraqs
security forces in the wake of the devastat-

ing attack.
Firefighters and medical teams were still
uncovering bodies from the citys Karada
neighborhood Monday morning. Officials
said a dozen people were missing and at
least 60 of the dead were women and children. At least 190 people were wounded.
The blast struck after midnight when the
neighborhood was bustling with people
breaking their daylight fast during the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The attack
demonstrated the Islamic States ability to
strike the capital despite a string of defeats
on the battlefield, including the loss of
Fallujah just over a week ago.
With public anger mounting, Prime
Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered new security measures Sunday evening, including
increased aerial scanning and intelligencegathering in the capital and the installation
of X-ray systems at the entrances of
provinces.

France, Germany: British vote


will not stop EU enlargement
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The leaders of France and


Germany assured prospective EU members
in the Balkans on Monday that the British
vote to leave the union wont threaten eventual enlargement of the bloc.
Balkan nations that survived wars and
political breakups in the 1990s worry they
will face more hurdles to membership as the
EU struggles to keep itself together. And
pro-Russian forces in countries such as
Serbia are hoping to sway the region toward
Moscow and away from the West, as the
Brexit vote throws European unity into
question.
French President Francois Hollande and
German Chancellor Angela Merkel sought
to soothe worries about European stability
at a Balkans summit in Paris on Monday,

notably by boosting opportunities for


youths from countries that dream of joining
the EU.
While the EU last week delayed further
membership talks with Serbia, Hollande
insisted Monday, The British decision
does not in any way put into question commitments made toward countries in the
Balkan region. They will be respected.
Merkel said the EUs strategy has not
changed with the decision of the U.K.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic
said at Mondays summit that his country
wouldnt be subservient to the union, but
over the long term, Europe is the place
where the future is best for our people.
We have a lot of work and efforts before
us, and obligations. But it seems to me that
we have clear and unequivocal prospects in
Europe, he told reporters.

unfolding. And, make no mistake,


the situation is getting worse. For
everyone.
The video message by Maurer
included the ICRC drone footage
of the devastation in Ramadi.
The footage shows demolished
buildings and a hospital scarred by
fire, its ground floor reduced to
mangled wire and rubble. An
ambulance parked nearby is riddled with bullets.
The fight to retake Ramadi
involved airstrikes by Iraq and the
U.S.-led coalition, as well as several bombings by IS, which also
booby-trapped several buildings.
More than 100 civilians died trying to return to Ramadi after IS
was pushed out.
The people need leaders who
believe in humanity, who protect
homes, schools and hospitals,
who protect civilians and treat
people they capture with respect,
Maurer said.

Californias clean vehicle rebate program


The Sacramento Bee

n his effort to reverse climate


change, Gov. Jerry Brown three
years ago established the lofty
goal of having 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on California roads by
2025.
To achieve it, the state will need to
intervene, and that costs money. And
so the message on the California Air
Resources Boards clean vehicle
rebate program website should be
cause for alarm.
Funding is currently exhausted,
the notice reads. All applications
submitted after June 10, 2016 will be
placed on a rebate waitlist.
As Georgia found, sales of electric
vehicles plummeted last year when
lawmakers there scrapped its rebate
program. California isnt abandoning
rebates, and shouldnt, at least for
now. But Brown and the Legislature
should x the program in the coming
months. In the process, they ought to
focus on broader transportation
issues.
The state promises up to $2,500 to
people who buy electric cars and plugin hybrid vehicles. Thats important
to some buyers, though anyone who
can afford a $100,000 Tesla probably
could get by without a check from
Sacramento.

Other voices
In recent years, the state has used
cap-and-trade revenue to fund the
rebate program. But in part because of
legislative inaction, cap-and-trade
faces an uncertain future. Hence,
rebates are on hold.
In the coming months, the 3rd
District Court of Appeal in
Sacramento is expected to hear the
California Chamber of Commerces
suit challenging the constitutionality
of cap-and-trade, by which the state
requires polluters to pay to offset
greenhouse gas emissions.
The chamber contends the
Democratic-controlled Legislature
never expressly approved cap-andtrade and denitely didnt bless it with
a two-thirds vote required by the state
constitution for a tax hike.
Rather, the California Air Resources
Board created the program as it implemented Assembly Bill 32, the landmark 2006 legislation that requires
polluters to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
In various ways, all Californians
pay for the program. Most directly,
cap-and-trade adds 11 cents to the cost
of a gallon of gasoline. The governor, legislators and various interest
groups have come to rely on the bil-

lions generated by cap-and-trade.


Perhaps because of legal uncertainty, or maybe the vagaries of the marketplace, the gravy train slowed. The
most recent cap-and-trade auction
generated $10 million, far less than
expected.
Despite that warning sign, the
Assembly optimistically approved
$230 million for clean vehicle
rebates in this years budget process.
The Senate took a more cautious
approach, earmarking $150 million.
Unable to reach agreement, the
Legislature and Brown placed funding
on hold.
At some point, in ve or maybe 10
years, the state will be able to abandon incentives to encourage people to
buy green vehicles. Were not there
yet, however.
And so in the summer months,
Brown and the Legislature will need to
focus on cap-and-trade and the related
issue of transportation funding and
how to fairly raise gasoline taxes to
pay for freeway repairs.
Democratic legislators should nd
common ground with Republicans and
specically authorize cap-and-trade
by a two-thirds margin, or risk having the courts strike it down. All this
will require compromise. Thats never
easy, but in this instance, its vital.

Second Amendment
Editor,
Our Bill of Rights, the rst 10
amendments, is being violated by our
new secularist, humanist and atheist
government, controlled by the corporate elite. One by one they are being
violated. The latest is the Second
Amendment, the right to bear arms,
that is being targeted for oblivion.
They feel that the time is now ripe to
disarm the public of their right to
bear arms.
The reason why I use the term ripe
time is because it took the corporate
elite many years to corrupt our country by using the U.S. Supreme Court
to rst kick God out of the classrooms. Then, the high court continued with their other ungodly rulings.
By doing this, the corporate elite
was able to transform our once
Christian-based society into a ruthless, ungodly secular society.
Secularism is based on relativism
and subjectivism, a society that is
alienated from God, makes its own
rules, and has no moral restraints. In
other words, if it feels good, do it, by
all means, which has caused a society
that has no respect for human life. It

Editor,
I never thought Id see the day when
the Nazis looked better than their
opposition. The black clad Occupy
counter demonstrators, the ones too
afraid to show their faces so they

instigating a full scale riot in

Independence
Day

he reworks are over, the parade is past, the beer is


drunk and the potato salad is in the refrigerator.
Were tired, were sunburned and a few of us are nursing a hangover. Since it was a three-day weekend, many of
us went boating on the lake, hiking in the mountains or
relaxing at the beach with the
kids. Independence Day is a truly
an American holiday, with something for everyone.
But why? What is it that we
celebrate on Independence Day?
On July 4, 1776, the 13
colonies did not receive independence from Great Britain,
which wouldnt occur until the
signing of the Treaty of Paris, a
year after the British defeat at
Yorktown. It wasnt the beginning of the Revolutionary War
John McDowell
either, as that happened a year
earlier with the battles of Lexington and Concord. It wasnt
even when the Second Continental Congress voted to
approve a resolution for independence from Britain. That
was on July 2.
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence and with it the great
principles, applicable to all people for all time which
became the American Idea. Those principles are what we celebrate; those principles are what we hold dear.
The Declaration of Independence is the foundation of the
American order. It boldly and unapologetically proclaims
the Founders fundamental understanding of humanity we
are all created equal, and that our God endows us with certain
rights that are inherent in our very being, those of Life, of
Liberty and of the Pursuit of Happiness.
The promise of universal political equality was something
new in the world. Although debated by political philosophers, no nation had ever dared to believe this. America was
the exception.
The principle of political equality means that in Thomas
Jeffersons words, the mass of mankind has not been born
with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and
spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of
god. No one whether by virtue heredity, ideology, religion,
technocratic competence, or wealth and connections has a
natural right to rule over others.
As a result, political legitimacy rests with the people and
the consent of the governed, and that the just powers of
government ow from the people to the government and
not the other way around. The Declaration argues that government exists to secure and defend rights, rather than to
grant them. This was, and is, an exceptional argument that
has animated the struggle for liberty around the world.
Americas founding rejected the old ideas of blood, soil
and permanent cultural traditions as the basis of a nation.
Instead, we are founded on the ideas contained in the
Declaration, ideas that all can understand and that all can
swear allegiance to. As a nation founded on an idea, America
is again exceptional.
No one can turn Chinese, Indian, Filipino or Mexican if
they are not already. Yet all of these peoples can and do
become Americans through an acceptance of the founding
ideas and a rejection of the old notions of immutable social
hierarchy. It happens every day, as immigrants from around
the world are sworn in as citizens. Just like that, they are
every bit as American as those born here who themselves
must be taught our founding ideas and principles.
As proclaimed in the Declaration, Americans (and all people everywhere) answer to a higher law and truths that are
self-evident. That is, the American Idea is grounded both
in reason self-evident and in revelation, as the
Declarations four references to God as Creator, Lawgiver,
Judge and Providence attest.
These foundational principles while proclaimed in the
Declaration and nding their political expression in the
Constitution through a representative republic, separation
of powers and federalism are opposed by many, including
those who precipitated the Civil War.
That outcome of that war settled, as Abraham Lincoln
made clear in the Gettysburg Address, the understanding
that, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new
nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Today, as you recover from your sunburn and excessive
celebration, take time to think about what it is that youve
celebrated and why we celebrate Independence Day. The
Declaration of Independence and the liberties it proclaims
are Americas gift to the world. Dont let that gift go
unopened and unused.
This is an updated version of a column that rst ran in
2014.
John McDowell is a longtime county resident having rst
moved to San Carlos in 1963. In the intervening years, he
has worked as a political volunteer and staff member in
local, state, and federal government, including time spent as
a press secretary on Capitol Hill and in the George W. Bush
administration.

Stocks dip in Europe amid thin trading


By Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING European stock markets slipped Monday, despite


gains earlier in Asia, as investors
awaited more clarity on Britains
future outside the European Union
and a U.S. holiday kept trading
volumes thin.
KEEPING SCORE: Germanys
DAX fell 0.7 percent to close at
9,709.09 and Frances CAC 40
shed 0. 9 percent to 4, 234. 86.
Britains FTSE 100 dropped 0.8
percent to 6,522.26. While Wall
Street was closed for the Fourth of
July holiday, the Shanghai
Composite Index rose 1.9 percent
to 2, 988. 60 and Hong Kongs

Hang Seng gained 1.3 percent to


21,059.20. Tokyos Nikkei 225
advanced
0. 6
percent
to
15, 775. 80 and Sydneys S&PASX 200 gained 0.7 percent to
5,281.80.
POST-BREXIT STIMULUS:
Investor sentiment was boosted
last week by expectations the
Bank of England and European
Central Bank might provide monetary stimulus to shore up growth
following Britains vote and the
U.S. Federal Reserve might postpone a rate hike. The top British
central banker, Mark Carney, said
that some form of stimulus will
likely be required over the summer because the economic outlook has deteriorated.

EUROPEAN JITTERS : But


the momentum in stock markets
did not last in Europe, as the
prospect of low interest rates for
longer has hurt financial stocks.
Banks take a hit to their earnings
when interest rates are low,
because they cannot lend money at
higher, more profitable rates.
Shares in Italian banks in particular are suffering because of concern about their ability to handle
bad loans. There are also concerns
about longer-term growth rates in
Europe as uncertainty about
Britains exit lingers.
ANALYS T QUOTE: The
recession we now expect in the
U. K. will create an external
demand shock for the euro area

UK left with power vacuum


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON

Britains
Conservative prime minister is
stepping down. The Labour Party
leader is barely clinging to power.
And now the head of the U.K.
Independence Party, a key architect of the dramatic vote to leave
the European Union, has resigned
as well.
It has left the country with a
power vacuum just as someone
needs to step up and own the talks
on how Britain will exit the EU.
The June 23 referendum results
have ripped through British politics like a buzz saw, and it will
likely be weeks before some clarity emerges.
The new Conservative Party
leader will be chosen Sept. 9 and
will become prime minister. The
contenders are talking in general
terms about Brexit plans, but
their words arent yet backed by
any authority.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said
Monday he is leaving his party
post because he wants his life back
after years of political intrigue.
But observers note hes keeping
his seat in the European
Parliament and may well be hoping for a formal role when the new
prime minister takes power and,
most likely, starts Brexit talks
with EU leaders.

Theres always a chance of him


returning, but his future relies on
other people supporting him and
asking him to do something, said
George Jones, government professor emeritus at the London School
of Economics. He goes out on a
high as the man who caused this.
On top of Prime Minister David
Camerons and Farages departures, Labour Party leader Jeremy
Corbyn is clinging to office
despite having lost a confidence
vote by his partys lawmakers.
Jones said Britain is gripped by
a power vacuum at the top.
There isnt any leadership,
there cant be, but in an emergency
Cameron can take decisions, he
said. Its a strange situation. All
the parties are in disarray. The
unexpected has happened. Its first
of all necessary to set up a government that can act, and theres a
timetable set for that.
The Conservative Party leadership race will offer some clarity,
since the winner of the party contest will become prime minister
and presumably take responsibility for key Brexit decisions.
The race has been shaped by the
virulent feud between leading
leave campaigners ex-London
Mayor Boris Johnson and Justice
Secretary Michael Gove, who torpedoed Johnsons bid for the top
spot with his own last minute entry.

There are five contenders,


including
Gove,
with
Conservative lawmakers set to
start voting on their favorites
Tuesday.
Media attention has focused on
Home Secretary Theresa May
who opposed Brexit during the referendum campaign, but now backs
it and Energy Minister Andrea
Leadsom, who made her first major
speech Monday.
She cast herself as a passionate
supporter of the Brexit cause,
although she opposed it as recently
as 2013, promising negotiations
would be relatively quick and effective in terms of giving Britain the
power to control how many immigrants will move to the U.K.
Freedom of movement will end,
and the British Parliament will
decide how many people enter our
country each year to live, work and
contribute to our national life,
she said.
Leadsom is one of the leastknown among the five candidates
to replace Cameron, but gained
attention as one of the strongest
voices for a vote to leave the EU.
Earlier, Treasury chief George
Osborne announced plans to cut
U.K. corporation tax to less than
15 percent to encourage companies to invest and ease business
concerns about the countrys vote
to leave the EU.

Texas accused of ignoring people with

nursing homes
developmental disability, suffers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LUBBOCK, Texas It took


more than 40 years for Leonard
Barefield to finally get to choose
where he lived.
The
intellectually-disabled
Texas native moved to a group
home in Lubbock in September
after he had first lived in near slavery conditions for more than three
decades in a squalid house in Iowa
and worked at a turkey processing
plant there for 41 cents an hour.
After being freed by social workers from that situation, he was sent
in 2008 to a nursing home in
Midland, Texas.
His plight is not uncommon in
Texas, where people with such disabilities are routinely warehoused
in nursing homes, according to a
lawsuit brought by Barefield and
other disabled people. Advocates
for the intellectually-disabled a
condition affecting reasoning and
learning say Texas is violating
the Americans with Disabilities
Act and other federal laws by denying services that could allow more
than 4,000 people to live in the
community.
The state denies it is exploiting
the disabled, saying it is committed to providing them with the
highest quality of services.
The 71-year-old Barefield has a

from depression and other mental


health and medical conditions, and
has high blood pressure, court
records show. He wears a hearing
aid and his speech is significantly
impaired. But he can read, write
and drive a truck.
Barefield lives with three other
intellectually disabled men in a
well-maintained and spacious
home.
Its better here, he said, nodding his head emphatically.
Barefield leaves the home several
days a week for a day center where
he can play games and work on
small projects.
Even though he was exploited
for decades, the outcome of
Barefields case is better than
some.
Andrea Padron, who suffered a
severe head injury in a car accident
when she was 10, died in 2013
after getting an inaccurate evaluation to determine the care she
needed in a nursing home, court
documents show.
Padrons mother put her in a
nursing home when she could no
longer afford to care for her. Her
mother then was deployed to the
Iraq war with the military. The
services promised for Padron were
not provided during the mothers
absence.

Baxter comes up big to keep M-A alive


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Nate Baxter leads the Menlo-Atherton District 52 Major


All-Stars to an elimination-game victory over Half Moon Bay.

Durant signing
huge change to
NBA landscape

Nate Baxter was grace under fire for the


Menlo-Atherton District 52 Major AllStars on a gorgeous Independence Day
afternoon at La Entrada Field.
Facing an elimination game, Baxter
was dominant on the mound and near perfect at the plate to lead Menlo-Atherton
to a 13-7 over Half Moon Bay. But it was
his defensive instincts in the first inning
that set the tone for the victory.
Menlo-Atherton rallied for three runs
in the top of the first, but Half Moon
Bay threatened a comeback in the bottom of the inning as three straight oneout singles got Half Moon Bay on the
board to cut the lead to 3-1.
But then the defense came to the
rescue.

We got some key plays from out


defense in the first inning, Baxter said.
Im glad we made all those plays. It
gave us some energy.
Baxter was being modest, as it was his
catlike reflexes off the mound that provided the defensive highlight on the
inning.
With runners on the corners and one
out, Baxter fielded a high chopper off
the plate; with no play at first base, he
anticipated going after the lead runner,
and put a throw right on the money to
third sacker Jackson Vontz, who applied
the tag for the out.
Baxter went on to retire nine batters in
a row en route to allowing two runs over
five innings to earn the win.
He was lights out, Menlo-Atherton
manager Rod MacLeod said. It was
dominant.

At the plate, Baxter went 3 for 4 with


a home run, three RBIs and three runs
scored, figuring in three innings in
which Menlo-Atherton put crooked
numbers on the scoreboard.
The cleanup hitters biggest swing of
the bat came in the sixth inning amid
a six-run rally in which Menlo-Atherton
sent 12 batters to the plate when he
blasted a three-run home run well over
the fence in left field. It was Baxters
first home run of the tournament.
But his teammates provided plenty of
pop as well, as Menlo-Atherton combined for three long balls on the day, the
most the team has produced through
three tournament games.
It was really nice to put constant
pressure on the other team, because their

Durant bound for Golden State Bogut dealt to Dallas


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Kevin Durant decided his best


chance for growth means leaving his beloved
Oklahoma City behind for a big move out West
to join the star-studded, record-setting Golden
State Warriors and play alongside Splash
Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
In the most anticipated move of the NBA
offseason, Durant announced his decision
Monday on The Players Tribune. His contract is for $54 million over two years and
includes a player option, a person with
knowledge of the deal said Monday, speaking
on condition of anonymity because details
werent made public. Durants move will
become official as soon as Thursday, when
free agents can sign their new contracts.
Independence Day, indeed.
The primary mandate I had for myself in
making this decision was to have it based on

the potential for my


growth as a player as
that has always steered me
in the right direction,
Durant said in the article.
But I am also at a point in
my life where it is of equal
importance to find an
opportunity that encourKevin Durant ages my evolution as a
man: moving out of my
comfort zone to a new city and community
which offers the greatest potential for my
contribution and personal growth. With this
in mind, I have decided that I am going to
join the Golden State Warriors.
And the 2015 champion Warriors, who
squandered a 3-1 NBA Finals lead to lose to
LeBron James and the Cavaliers last month,
know how tough Durant is in any lineup:

Sagan still wearing yellow with


stage-3 win at Tour de France
By Andrew Dampf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANGERS, France Wearing the yellow


jersey, Peter Sagan considered stopping at a
cafe.
Hardly pedaling, the overall leaders in the
Tour de France spent most of Mondays third
stage chatting to one another and riding at
such a leisurely pace that they could have fit
right in on a town bike path.
It was a very relaxed day for us. We went
slow. It was nice, said Sagan, who playfully bumped shoulders with some of the other
riders just to keep things interesting. I was
thinking one moment we were going to take
the coffee like old time.
The morning caffeine didnt kick in until
the very end of the lengthy and mostly flat
223. 5-kilometer (139-mile) leg from
Granville to Angers.
That was when Mark Cavendish showed
off his sprinting experience by edging
German rival Andre Greipel in a photo finish.
Having also won Saturdays opening
stage at Utah Beach, it was Cavendishs second victory in this Tour and 28th overall.
The British rider with Team Dimension Data
matched five-time Tour champion Bernard
Hinault for second on the all-time list
behind Eddy Merckx, who had a record 34
stage wins at the Tour.
To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Bernard Hinault is something that I
couldnt even have dreamed of, Cavendish
said. But Im never going to compare
myself to him.
On a very slightly uphill finish,

Olympic brief

Cavendish kept pedaling to the line while


Greipel, who was ahead, put his head down a
bit too early.
Neither rider knew who won immediately.
Greipel started celebrating, raising his
left finger to the sky, but then quickly took
it down. Cavendish clenched his fist briefly
and then just fiddled with his bike computer
until the victory was confirmed then
started hugging his teammates.
I normally know when I win or I lose.
When I crossed the line, I kind of knew I got
it today, Cavendish said. But I was quite
lucky to just get him.
On the winners podium, Cavendish was
greeted by the 61-year-old Hinault, now at
his final Tour in an ambassador role.
Bryan Coquard of France crossed third,
while Sagan was fourth.
I just made one mistake and it was a kind
of reflex to go into the biggest gear,
Greipel said. If I had kept it in the gear I
had then I think I would have made it.
Sagan, the world champion from
Slovakia who took the yellow jersey on
Sunday, remained eight seconds ahead of
Julian Alaphilippe of France and 10 seconds
in front of Alejandro Valverde of Spain in
the overall standings.
Defending champion Chris Froome
moved up one spot to fourth, 14 seconds
behind Sagan.
Cavendish clocked nearly six hours as the
Tour moved out of the Normandy region
over a southeasterly route that concluded in
Angers, in the Anjou region of the Loire
valley.
The stage began on the Normandy coast.
Nicknamed the Monaco of the north,

Tinkoff team rider and yellow jersey holder Peter Sagan of Slovakia signs autographs after
winning Stage 3 of the Tour de France from Granville to Angers, France.
Granville was built on a rock and is known
for its casino.
Angers is twinned with Austin, Texas, the
home of Lance Armstrong.
Armindo Fonseca, a French rider with the
Fortuneo-Vital Concept team, attacked at
the opening flag and established a lead of
more than 10 minutes at one point.
For much of the stage, the peloton rode at
33 kph (20 mph) well below the predicted time table, which was based on an average speed of 39-43 kph (24-27 mph).
It was a rest day for everyone, Sagan
said. Just the last 20-30 kilometers were

hard.
Taking advantage of the pelotons pace,
French rider Thomas Voeckler attacked midway through the stage and quickly bridged
the gap to join Fonseca in the lead.
The duo was caught by the main pack with
eight kilometers (5 miles) to go.
Stage 4 Tuesday is the races longest, a
slightly more challenging 237. 5 (148mile) leg from Saumur to Limoges.
If the stage is shorter well be faster,
Sagan said. Tomorrow will be a long day.
The first mountain stage comes in Stage 5
on Wednesday in the Massif Central.

Serena rolls to another win after roof closed at Wimbledon

Oil turns white boats to brown


in Rio Olympic sailing venue

By Howard Fendrich

RIO DE JANEIRO A new pollution


problem has surfaced in Guanabara Bay, the
venue for sailing in the Rio de Janeiro
Olympics.
Sailors complained Monday about an oil
slick that turned white boats brown with
crews in town practicing for the Olympics,
which open in a month.
Finnish sailor Camilla Cedercreutz says
weve never seen anything like this. It
was all over the place. There was no way
you could avoid it.
Guanabara Bay is severely polluted, filled
with bacteria and viruses. However, sailors
have less frequently complained about
industrial pollution in the giant bay.

LONDON It was raining, ever so slightly, and her Wimbledon fourth-round match
was slipping away, ever so slightly, when
Serena Williams stumbled as she ran to the
net, winding up seated on the slick Centre
Court grass.
Her opponent, two-time major champion
Svetlana Kuznetsova, sent a shot flying past
Williams to go up a break at 5-4 in the opening set.
Williams was slow to get up. She wasnt
injured, but was worried she could be. Why,
she demanded to know from chair umpire
Marija Cicak, wasnt the retractable roof
shut? Eventually, after one more game and
much discussion, action was delayed for near-

ly 30 minutes while the


cover was closed.
Whether it was the
transformation to an
indoor court, the strategy
session the break allowed
her to have with coach
Patrick Mouratoglou or,
as Williams suggested,
Serena Williams simply the chance to calm
down, she completely
dominated the rest of the way, taking the last
nine games to beat the 13th-seeded
Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-0 on Monday.
She wound up winning 24 of the matchs
last 29 points, and her 14 aces helped produce
a Did I read that right? edge of 43-8 in winners.
The 13th-seeded Kuznetsova said she knew

closing the roof would help Williams, but


agreed it was the right decision, given how
wet the grass was, saying: I was afraid. ...
Im not ready to risk (an) injury.
Williams moved into her 12th quarterfinal
at the All England Club, and shell be joined
by her older sister Venus at that stage of the
tournament for the first time since 2010, who
eliminated 12th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro
7-6 (3), 6-4 on Monday.
The oldest man left is Roger Federer, who
turns 35 on Aug. 8, and he looked in fine form
after two days of rest, easily dismissing
unseeded American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-3,
7-5. Federer equaled Jimmy Connors Openera record by reaching his 14th Wimbledon
quarterfinal and added to his own mark by
making it at least that far at a major for the
48th time.

Pagan, Posey provide fireworks


as Peavy leads Giants past Rox
By Janie McCauley

MLB CELEBRATES ID4

Giants 3, Rockies 1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Jake Peavy


walked off the mound to a standing
ovation from a spirited Fourth of
July crowd, and that felt a whole
lot better than the boos fired his
way at times this season.
Peavy helped take the pressure
off a taxed and
tired bullpen
for an afternoon, and got a
couple of timely swings to
back
his
impressive day.
Angel Pagan
hit a two-run
Jake Peavy
homer, Buster
Posey also connected, and the
Giants beat the
C o l o r a do
Rockies 3-1 on
Monday.
Peavy (5-7)
struck out six
over 6 2/3
to
Angel Pagan innings
bounce back
from his third-shortest outing of
the season. He left to a standing
ovation and tipped his cap while
exiting in the seventh after a twoout single by pinch-hitter
Cristhian Adames. Giants right
fielder Mac Williamson made a
beautiful diving catch to start the
inning.
Any time youre walking off
the field and you know youve
done your job to the best of your

ability and the results are there,


youre excited, Peavy said. I
love when the fans show support.
It feels a whole lot better than it
did walking off the mound with
some of the stuff being said early
in the year.
Nolan Arenado hit two doubles,
but the run-starved Rockies lost
their season-high sixth straight
game and fourth in a row held to
one or fewer runs.
Colorado loaded the bases in the
second on Ryan Raburns one-out
double, a single by Mark
Reynolds and Nick Hundleys walk
before Peavy was called for a balk
to force in the games first run.
But San Francisco got it right
back on Poseys 10th homer.
Pagan, back in his old spot batting leadoff and playing center
field in place of the injured Denard
Span, connected for his fourth
home run in the third against Tyler
Anderson (0-3).
The left-hander, making his
fifth career start, allowed three
runs and four hits in six innings
while facing the Giants for the
first time. He is still looking for
first major league win.
Peavy was coming off just 3 1-3
innings in his last outing
Wednesday at Oakland. He is 4-2
with a 2.27 ERA over his last
eight outings, with the Giants
going 6-2 in those.
More than anything hes doing
a better job of pitching, backing
off a little bit, changing speeds,

hitting his spots, manager Bruce


Bochy said.
Right-hander Sergio Romo was
reinstated from the 60-day disabled list after being sidelined
since April 11 with an elbow
injury. He retired one batter in the
seventh for his fifth appearance
all year.
Santiago Casilla pitched the
ninth for his 20th save in 24
chances.
The Rockies have lost their last
three July 4 games and are 0-4 on
Independence Day
in
San
Francisco.
Putting it together was the
problem, manager Walt Weiss
said. I thought our approach was
better, we swung the bats better,
but not well enough to put together a big inning.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, Ohio Dustin


Johnson is not one for many
words, and he really doesnt need to
say much. The easy smile behind
the beard says it all.
If winning the U.S. Open champion wasnt enough, Johnson
added his third World Golf
Championship on Sunday, the first
time he has won back to back.
His U.S. Open title was popular
because of the hard times he had to
confront in the majors and the confusion he had to face from the
USGA for not making up its mind
about a penalty on the back nine at
Oakmont. And because Johnson is
simply fun to watch and be around.
He was loose all week at
Firestone.
During the opening round
Thursday, he checked a reporters
phone for the score in the deciding
game of the College World Series.
His alma mater, Coastal Carolina,
won the schools first national
title. Does that lessen his chances
to be alum of the year? Johnson
laughed and said, Bro, I couldnt
care less.
He is the U.S. Open champion
and couldnt be happier.
Paulina Gretzky, his fiancee and
the daughter of hockey great Wayne
Gretzky, had to leave Friday and
Johnson kept their 18-month-old
son, Tatum, with him in Ohio (with
help from a nanny). Cameras
caught him after he closed with a 66
on the phone with her saying, I
found him.
I didnt know where they were,
and Paulina was asking me where

they were, he said. I was like, I


dont know, I just walked off the
course.
He had the boy in his arms and
later was chasing after him while
waiting to see if Jason Day or Scott
Piercy could catch him.
Johnson said they had planned to
get married last fall until it didnt fit
in the schedule, so perhaps the wedding will be later this year. Asked if
it would be more extravagant as a
U.S. Open champion, Johnson
smiled and said, Dont matter to
me. That bill is going to Wayne.
But as easy as Johnson can make
golf look, it still requires hard
work. Especially with his wedges.
Three years ago, Johnson was
tied for 113th on the PGA Tour in
approach shots from 50 to 125
yards. Now he is No. 1 on tour.
At some point late last year, he
decided to move away from his natural right-to-left draw off the tee
and go to a fade, a drastic change.
It was a big part at Firestone,
especially in such firm conditions
that made hitting the fairway even
more difficult. And it helps to make
putts, which is what Johnson felt
was missing for so much of the
year.
But its more than just putting.
I feel like tee to green, Ive been
really solid all year, Johnson said.
My wedges have improved a lot.
Im getting a lot more opportunities when Im in the fairway and
hitting my wedges closer than I
have been. I just feel like the work
Ive put in with the putter is finally
paying off. But I mean, it still
comes down to youve got to hit
the shots so you can have those
putts.

starting pitcher] pitched against us before and


hes a good pitcher, Baxter said.
After Menlo-Athertons three-run rally in
the first while producing just one hit, a single by Baxter slugging first baseman
Ramsey Vandermeer added to the lead in the
third inning with a two-run home run. Then in
the fourth inning, Jack Giesler got into one
for a two-run blast, upping Menlo-Athertons
lead to 7-1.
Half Moon Bay answered back with a run in
the bottom of the fourth, when Quinn
McCauley unloaded for a solo home run, cutting the lead to 7-2. But Baxter battled on the
mound to get through the fifth, finishing the
day with exactly 65 pitches, allowing him to
return on three days rest as opposed to four
days rest for throwing over 65 should
Menlo-Atherton survive the tournament
through weeks end.
After Menlo-Atherton broke it open in the
sixth, Half Moon Bay took a bite out of the
bullpen to rally for five runs to make a game of
it. MacLeod said Half Moon Bays firepower
was the reason he stayed with Baxter on the
hill as long as he did.
Thats a really good baseball team and if
you give them an inch, theyll take a mile,
MacLeod said. You saw they got five runs in
that last inning. So, we were going to ride
Nate today.
Cleanup hitter Coleman Colucci led off the
sixth with a solo home run for Half Moon Bay,
while Diego Ryan, Ben McKnight and
William Moffitt later strung together three
consecutive hits.
I love to see the kids come back the way
they do, Half Moon Bay manager Bill
Moffitt said. It just wasnt their day.

leaving Utah and joining the Kobe- and


Shaquille O'Neal-led Los Angeles Lakers in
the twilight of his career.
In that case, Malone was simply along
for a championship ride. In Durants case,
it's a chance to win, as LeBron James put it
when he was introduced in Miami: not one,
not two, not three...
Because with Durant in the Bay Area, the
Warriors' championship window was all but
broken. They shouldnt have to worry about
it closing for the next several years.
***
Durant gives the one thing the Warriors
have been lacking: a consistent penetrator.
While Steph Curry and Klay Thompson can
take the ball to the rim, that is the secondary part of their game. Most of the Warriors
play the game outside-in with the 3pointer the primary objective. And when
their outside shot isnt falling, as it did in
the NBA nals this year, the Warriors could
not consistently get the ball to the rack.
That is Durants forte. While also an
adept 3-point shooter, Durants game is
more inside-out where his rst option is
to put the ball on the oor and penetrate.
Most importantly, adding Durant should
open up the passing lanes that started to
get clogged at the end of the season. The
penetrate-and-dish is when the Warriors are
at their best and adding Durant makes them
that much more lethal.
***
It wasnt too long ago that Warriors
owner Joe Lacob was quoted as saying the
Warriors were light years ahead of the rest
of the NBA.
That could be both good and bad and the

Vandermeer settled down in relief to record


the final out, advancing Menlo-Atherton to a
Wednesday matchup at 5:30 p.m. at La Entrada
Field with the winner of the San Carlos
American-Palo Alto American game.
The victory snaps a personal three-game
losing streak for Menlo-Atherton against Half
Moon Bay, including loses the previous two
years in the Half Moon Bay tournament.
Weve kind of had them on our calendar for
a long time, MacLeod said. The way we
played today means that weve improved our
game quite a bit.

jury is still out on what Durant signing with


the Warriors really means. Durants addition
means the Warriors are continuing to try and
change the game of basketball, because
they could be the rst championship-contending team to play without a true center.
You could say they haven't really used or
needed a center the last several years, relying on what has come to be termed its
death squad or small lineup.
But Bogut, when healthy, proved to be a
critical component to the Warriors offense
the last two years, with Ezeli, before his
playoff disappearing act, providing a competent backup.
But as Golden States roster is currently
constructed, there is no big man to serve in
a traditional centers role, which will be an
interesting experiment.
***
As much as Durants signing will dominate the headlines, the real story should be
the sheer lunacy of the money being
thrown around during the NBAs free-agent
period.
Durant was worth whatever he got
which turned out to be a two-year, $54 million deal. But Mike Conley, an above-average point guard, becoming the NBA's highest-paid player, re-signing with the
Memphis Grizzlies for ve years, $153 million? Thats insane. Or Evan Turner leaving
the Celtics for four years and $70 million
in Portland? Harrison Barnes, who turned
down a four-year, $64 million deal with the
Warriors last offseason, will reportedly
sign a four-year, $95 max deal with Dallas,
all despite playing as bad as one could in a
contract year.
Whats even more scary? The salary cap,
which escalated by more than $20 million
this year to more than $90 million, is
expected to jump again signicantly next
year topping the $100-million mark.
Yikes!

DURANT
Continued from page 10
They rallied from down 3-1 to beat
Durant and the Thunder in a sevengame Western Conference Finals.
Golden State applied a full-court
press to land Durant. On Friday in
the Hamptons, the Warriors sent
owner Joe Lacob, general manager
Bob Myers, coach of the year Steve
Kerr, Curry and Thompson to meet
with the 6-foot-9 superstar.
The 2014 MVP and four-time
scoring champion led the Thunder
to the NBA Finals in 2012, and to
the Western Conference finals in
four of the past six years and hes
only 27. He recovered from a broken bone in his right foot that cost
him much of last season to post one
of the best years of his career.
Durant met with the Thunder,
Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers,
Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs
and Miami Heat once teams could
begin negotiating with free agents.

With the addition of Durant, the


Warriors become the leagues latest
team to add a superstar chasing a
championship to a lineup of AllStars. LeBron James made the
move from Cleveland to Miami in
2010, joining a lineup that featured
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
They reached four NBA Finals as a
group and won two championships.
Im from Washington, D.C.
originally, but Oklahoma City
truly raised me. It taught me so
much about family as well as what
it means to be a man, Durant said.
There are no words to express what
the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will
represent in my life and in my heart
forever. The memories and friendships are something that go far
beyond the game. Those invaluable
relationships are what made this
deliberation so challenging.
It really pains me to know that I
will disappoint so many people
with this choice, but I believe I am
doing what I feel is the right thing
at this point in my life and my

playing career.
He should be a good fit in Golden
States varying lineups and gives
All-Star Draymond Green another
physical body and rebounding
presence to complement 3-point
aces Curry and Thompson.
The Warriors topped the 1995-96
Chicago Bulls mark and set the
NBA regular-season wins record
with 73 victories and led the league
in scoring.
Durant has been a difficult opponent for the Warriors he averaged
30 points per game against them in
this years Western Conference
finals and dropped a career-high 54
points on them in 2014.
Adding Durant will give the
Warriors another chance to chase a
title after the bitter feeling that was
this season a record-setting year
that ended without the teams
biggest goal being reached. Durant
has had to carry much of the scoring
load for the Thunder over the years,
but having Curry, Green and
Thompson on the floor with him
should open up space he hasnt had
during his tenure in Oklahoma City.

to sign restricted free agent
Harrison Barnes of Golden State.
After the Mavericks initially
agreed with Barnes on an offer sheet
for a maximum contract, the Durant
agreement will allow Dallas to sign
Barnes to a four-year, $94 million
deal because the Warriors will
renounce their rights to Barnes to
clear enough cap room for Durant.
The Mavericks missed out on
their top two targets in free agency
for the fifth straight year when
Memphis guard Mike Conley and
Miami center Hassan Whiteside
stayed with their current teams.
But Dallas added three starters in
two days, including bringing back
point guard Deron Williams for a

team. The Mavericks also virtually

final year of his deal, and Williams


has agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract. Those moves will
give the Mavericks more flexibility
next summer with expected strong
classes in free agency and the draft.
The Mavericks should be competitive in the meantime after
things looked bleak following the
first day of free agency. The lineup
is similar to last season, when
Dallas was the sixth seed in the
Western Conference with a 42-40
record, and lost to Durant and
Oklahoma City in five games in
the first round.
Bogut, a 7-footer who averaged
5.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.6
blocks per game last season, is
expected to be healthy after sustaining bone bruises around his left
knee in Game 5 of Golden States
seven-game loss to Cleveland in
the NBA Finals.
While hes not the same player
who averaged a double-double for
three straight seasons earlier in his
career, the 11-year veteran is a
stronger presence at the rim than

experiences. Users call Little House
staff, who arrange a Lyft that usually
arrives in about 10 minutes and averages about $10 per ride, Michelson and
Olson said. Staff is able to track their
status, update users if theres a delay and
help retain members who stopped visiting the center after no longer being able
to drive, Olson said.
Thus far, it has cost the district about
$100 and depending on how the pilot
goes this summer, they may consider
expanding it to help seniors get to medical appointments, according to organizers.
There are several transit options for
seniors such as public transportation,
calling a cab or arranging a ride with
SamTrans Redi-Wheels shuttle. This
program is just another possibility that
both Olson and Michelson noted is
only available to able-bodied seniors
who dont need significant help getting
into a car and can afford the $8 round
trip.
Transportation is an issue everybodys facing and its no surprise. And
theres some great opportunities out
there, but we were just looking for
something a little different. There are all
these ride shares, Uber and Lyft programs, that are growing in popularity.
So why not take advantage of that? And

POD
Continued from page 1
project, he said.
Podcast guest Manuel Caneri agreed.
Its wonderful. In this day and age
with internet and phone, I do think
there is an element of the community
not having a chance to know our neighbors as much, he said. This is a way to
use that technology to go back to some
old-fashioned things like getting to
know your neighbor.
On the podcast, Caneri shared a story
about the time he met Dolly Parton,
who had been one of his idols.
He said he has shared the story many
times, but appreciated hearing
McMahons production underlying his
narrative, as the music and editing
evoked more emotion than usual.
It really enhanced the story and how
it felt on the inside, as opposed to just
telling the story with your words, he
said.
McMahon added the mobile audio
medium offers the additional advantage
of allowing listeners to build the time
required to enjoy the stories into their
busy schedule as well.
Its more reflective of the way people consume things these days, because

for us, it seemed to be the most costefficient and it gives the user the most
independence, Olson said.
Both noted Redi-Wheels can be a
great, very low-cost option, but it often
requires advanced planning and the
commute may be long as shuttles transporting several riders make multiple
stops. Peninsula Volunteers decided to
go with Lyft after hearing about a program the pink mustache brand was running in New York. The company had
tried a concierge program that focused
on seniors getting to hospitals or doctors appointments. The company has
showed an interest in being a resource
for seniors, Olson and Michelson said.
We are proud to bring seniors, many
of whom have regular medical appointments and limited transportation
options, reliable and welcoming rides,
a Lyft spokesman said in an email.
Participants pay the nonprofit directly at the time of service and Lyft sends
Peninsula Volunteers a monthly bill.
The health care district makes up for the
difference in cost.
The program is targeted toward Little
House members who stopped visiting
after they ceased driving or didnt have
reliable transportation, Michelson
said.
Its in line with what were trying to
do, which is keep folks healthy, keep
them active, keep them socially connected. Because we know socially connected people do better from a health
perspective and were willing to put in
some money at this point, Michelson

said.
But at least one member of the health
care districts Board of Directors said
hes concerned about the program that
may be spending taxpayer funds outside
district boundaries.
I believe a lot of people that do go to
Little House come from areas that are
not in the district, said district Director
Jack Hickey, a taxpayer advocate who
added the senior center should ask the
cities it serves and county to pitch in.
That would be the reasonable way to go
about it. Theres plenty of sources for
funding and its not appropriate for the
district, which has specific geographical boundaries that dont support lending to agencies like this.
Little House is technically within the
boundaries of the health care district,
which covers about 11 zip codes from
Portola Valley and Menlo Park to
Belmont and parts of San Mateo.
The pilot was also expanded to the
San Carlos Adult Community Center
with Little House staff operating calls
for those seniors as well. After testing
the pilot this summer, Michelson said
the districts board will be presented
with a report and a possible proposal to
expand it as a convenient way for seniors to get to a doctors appointment.
This is a direct to and from route and
its on demand and so in my mind, that
is as close to having your own car right
now as we can get, Olson said. I think
its a great alternative, its innovative
and its just a different approach.

you can decide how you consume it, he


said.
Shifting solely from a traditional catalog of books, films and music which
can be checked out to offering original
content accessible through a phone or
tablet is also part of a larger effort to
reinvent the library and make resources
available in a fashion which best meets
the modern needs of the community,
said McMahon.
Libraries are changing and we do
want people to know its not just
books, he said.
Another function of the project is
redefining preconceived notions regarding those who comprise the Burlingame
community, said McMahon.
Traditionally, Burlingame has been
seen only as a populace of the wealthy
and affluent, but McMahon said he is
hopeful the podcast will effectively
plumb the depths of the public and draw
out unique characters who break the
mold of what most would expect.
He admitted though his ambitious
vision has been difficult to bring to
fruition, as he faces challenges such as
the general reluctance of many to share
their story, due to the belief they are
boring or uninteresting.
But McMahon said he has found
almost everyone has an intriguing tale,
so long as they spare a moment to tell
it.

It was harder to get people to participate than I thought, he said. People


are shy about committing themselves
to audio, because they think they are
not good enough for something like
that. But the general idea is that everyone is interesting if you take the time to
listen to them. Everyone has something to say.
Though the grant funding has dried
up, McMahon said the success of the
project so far encourages him to remain
committed to working on it intermittently into the future.
As the project moves forward,
McMahon said he is considering broadening his scope beyond the borders of
Burlingame and into neighboring communities in an effort to expand his pool
of potential participants.
He encourages those interested in
sharing their story to visit the podcasts
website for more information, or to hear
the podcasts he has already produced.
Though the goal of the project faces
formidable hurdles, McMahon said he
aims to break down some of the walls
which impede communication
If you sit down and talk to someone,
you learn so many interesting things
about them, and it breaks the ice to
developing relationships, he said.
And even if it doesnt make a relationship, it gives you a better sense of the
community.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Rinzai Bell
Case Number: 127026
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Rinzai Bell: A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Noel Bell in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Noel Bell be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JULY 29, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written

objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Surfer Republican Russias unlikely advocate in Congress


By Maria Danilova
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON When several


members of Congress accused
Vladimir Putins Russia of human
rights abuses and aggression
toward its neighbors, a veteran
California congressman stood virtually alone in urging a more cautionary stance.
For 69-year-old Rep. Dana
Rohrabacher, a self-described
surfer Republican, this wasnt a
totally unexpected position: hes
long been virtually the lone proRussian voice on Capitol Hill.
Right from the beginning
weve had this incredible hostility, Rohrabacher, who has defended President Vladimir Putin and
urged a dialogue with the Kremlin,
lamented at a recent congressional
hearing. He urged both Russia and

Peninsula.
The environment is so unique,
Williams said he has moved away
from his tradition of offering districts enrollment expectation figures 10 years into the future,
because he no longer feels comfortable predicting such an unreliable market.
Williams uses birth rates, existing housing stock, planned residential developments, historical
trends on student numbers and
more social data as the foundation
for his projections.
School officials commonly use
his work to inform their decision
whether to pursue a bond measure
for financing additional school
construction or to allocate public
funds toward building onto existing campuses or at least get a
clearer sense of the amount of students they will need to serve in
coming years.

the
United
States at the
time to take a
deep breath and
a step back.
This
past
s p r i n g ,
Ro h rab ach ers
position drew
support from
Dana
Rohrabacher Donald Trump,
the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who advocates giving relations with Moscow another
chance. Common sense says this
cycle of hostility must end,
Trump said in a speech in April.
A former speechwriter for
President Ronald Reagan, the 14term Rohrabacher takes pride in
having worked to weaken our
major global enemy at that time,
the Soviet Union. A large photo

in his office shows him in the


hills of Afghanistan in the 1980s,
where, he told The Associated
Press in an interview, he launched
rockets at Soviet positions as a
volunteer fighter.
Rohrabachers view changed
when the Soviet Union collapsed
in 1991, and Russia emerged as a
different country. Although he
acknowledges that opposition
leaders face repression in Russia,
he also says the country allows
religious freedom and is generally
more open than its predecessor.
In the mid-1990s, Rohrabacher
got a taste of Russian politics, he
says, when he welcomed a delegation of young Russian political
leaders, which included Putin, who
then worked for the mayor of St.
Petersburg. After a friendly football match, the group went to a
nearby pub and started arguing

over whether the Soviet Union


lost the Cold War. The debate
turned into an arm-wrestling
match
between
Putin
and
Rohrabacher, which Putin won.
I ended up with Putin, and he
beat me just like that,
Rohrabacher said, snapping his
fingers.
Now Rohrabacher says he
believes
policymakers
in
Washington misunderstand Russia
and treat it unfairly. Instead of
fighting another Cold War, Russia
and the United States should focus
on defeating Islamic extremism.
We should not be in a hostile
relationship; its not to the benefit of their people or our people to
do this, Rohrabacher told The AP.
John E. Herbst, a former U.S.
ambassador to Ukraine disagrees,
citing Russias war with Georgia,
its annexation of Crimea and its

involvement in the separatist


conflict in eastern Ukraine.
He has been a consistent voice
in Congress for weak policies
towards an aggressive Kremlin,
Herbst said of Rohrabacher. I
have no reason to question his
integrity; I have lots of reason to
question his judgment.
The lawmakers critics are
unconvinced of his intentions,
saying that Rohrabacher isnt just
advocating for world peace but is
instead pushing an agenda that
benefits the Russian government.
A sore point in U.S.-Russian
relations is a 2012 law imposing
travel bans and asset freezes on 39
Russian officials implicated in the
jailhouse death of whistleblower
Sergei Magnitsky. Magnitsky was
arrested soon after he accused officials of stealing some $230 million of government money.

When taking on a district as a


new client, Williams said he can
spend up to three months generating his projection in a process
which includes touring each block
of the community to gain a deeper
understanding of its character.
But with so many existing business agreements with districts
along the Peninsula, Williams
said he has effectively maximized
his capacity, and will only consider taking on smaller districts or
those with officials who he has
previously established a personal
relationship.
Molly Barton, assistant superintendent overseeing enrollment
at the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District, said
she considers Williams work
invaluable.
Weve been using him for 12
years and I find him to be very
thorough, knowledgeable and
pretty darn accurate, she said.
Barton said his projections in
past years has missed predicting
enrollment numbers by only four
students, an unprecedented degree
of accuracy.

She said his work has been integral in the districts effort to offers
students a quality education.
The best education possible is
dependent on a lot of things, and
facilities is one of them, she
said. We work together very well,
we have a mutual respect. Tom is
very helpful because he is able to
give me perspective not just on
San Mateo County, but Santa
Clara as well.
Williams has gone so far as to
call Barton at home in the wake of
a critical decision by local city
officials which could influence the
districts enrollment patterns, she
said.
A Ladera native turned Belmont
resident who transitioned to
demography after working in Palo
Alto as a city planner, Williams
said he has no issue with the societal pressure which could come
along with the way his work is
applied by school officials.
Barring the rare and potentially
catastrophic instance in which the
social and economic environment
changes over night, Williams said
he typically remains confident his

short-term projections will stay


true, as future trends rarely fluctuate wildly from recent history.
Unanticipated things do occur,
but nonetheless, within some statistical margin, the numbers are
the numbers are the numbers, he
said.
Though the recent surge in the
current economy and housing market has caused difficulties for
many of his clients, as some state
money is tied to average daily
attendance rates and a dip in
enrollment rates can hurt a districts bottom line, Williams said
he does not see much opportunity
for relief on the horizon.
As long as we keep adding jobs
and office buildings, this is going
to continue, he said.
Beyond the bleak enrollment
trends, Williams added the affordability crisis will likely keep
wreaking havoc in a variety of
other ways for local schools, such
as posing difficulties in hiring
qualified staff.
We are headed in the direction
of fewer kids, but hiring teachers
is going to be a nightmare too,

he said.
He said school officials are frequently caught between a rock and
a hard place as they hear the cries
of teachers who need more money
to afford the escalating cost of living locally, but their budgets cannot grow at a pace necessary to
compete with the private sector.
Even in the districts which offer
the best compensation for educators, Williams noted the pay is
likely inadequate for families
attempting to buy a home at the
astronomical local rates.
Considering the confluence of
unique trends, even after 30 years
of working, Williams said the current environment is unfamiliar to
anything he had seen before.
For as long as Ive done this, I
still havent see a situation this
dramatic, he said.
Barton though said amidst a cultural sea change, the guidance
Williams offers will continue to
be an asset as officials attempt to
navigate the murky waters ahead.
As certain things change, we
need to be prepared, and he looks
at that for us, she said.
