COALITION AIRSTRIKES IN SYRIA KILLED OVER 500

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After the contentious resignation of a
beloved principal in December 2013 and an
aftermath of staff complaining about a poor
work environment, Taylor Middle Schools
new permanent principal ultimately only
lasted eight school days.
Alicia Magallanes was put on leave Sept.
11 and the Millbrae Elementary School
District Board of Trustees announced out of
a closed session meeting Tuesday she will
not be returning, said Superintendent Linda
Luna.
The district is hoping to have a new prin-
cipal begin Jan. 5. The district cannot go
into further details about Magallanes
release since it is a personnel matter, Luna
added.
We will be doing a search, Luna said.
Theyre (the students) in good hands and
weve had a really good start to the school
year. We want the best fit and the best
match to serve the staff and the students at
Taylor.
Teachers are disappointed that they are
still without a principal almost a year
after the very popular principal, Lesley

The teachers were told very little about
the specifics of this matter, and the teachers
were really not involved in her hiring,
Argenbright wrote in an email. I believe
that there was only one teacher on the inter-
view panel, although many teachers would
have liked to be on the interview panel for

By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 4 percent raise is coming to Sequoia Union High School
District teachers, who are pleased with the salary change.
The new contract, ratified Wednesday night by the school
board, includes a 2 percent salary increase on the salary
schedule, retroactive to July 1 and a 2 percent off-schedule
bonus for the 2014-15 school year. The vote was unani-
mous, but board Vice President Olivia Martinez was absent.
The previous contract between the district and the Sequoia
District Teachers Association, or SDTA, expired on June
30.
SDTA is very happy to have settled on a two-year agree-

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Christine Coffey had seen brochures
for Rebuilding Together Peninsula dis-
played on tables at the San Carlos
Library where she regularly volun-
teers. It advertised free-of-charge
repairs, but Coffey didnt think her sit-
uation was applicable.
Still, she brought one home but kept
it on her kitchen table for a year.
Living with multiple sclerosis since
1994, Coffey needed to retire early
from her job working in small claims
for San Mateo County. The organiza-
tion appealed to Coffey because it
advertised free repairs for low-income
homeowners. Her home in San Carlos
had fallen into disrepair since her
retirement, and maintenance fell out of
her hands since her two grown sons
had moved out so she was hopeful.
At the encouragement of her friend,
she finally filled out an application
before becoming a recipient of servic-
es this spring.
Annel Aguayo, spokeswoman for
Rebuilding Together Peninsula, said
the organization is unique because it is
one of few that does full roof repair free
of charge, a very costly and labor-
intensive job.
One of the biggest things that they
did for me was install a wheelchair
ramp, Coffey said.
The organization also repaired her
broken windows, replaced the roof,
which had issues with leaking, and
removed debris from the yard.
Its been an amazing experience.
They did tons of stuff. It feels like a
whole new place. Its brighter, more
cheerful and safe, Coffey said. They
made me feel really special.
Coffey is one of hundreds of home-
owners who have had their houses
repaired by Rebuilding Together
Peninsula over the last 25 years. The
organization recognizes the needs of
low-income homeowners who have
seen their homes fall into disrepair due
to illness, aging or job loss.
We genuinely care about the people
we help, Aguayo said.

Paintings in national
parks spark probe, furor
SALT LAKE CITY Aseries of col-
orful, eerie faces painted on rocks in
some of the Wests most pristine, well-
known national parks has sparked an
investigation by authorities and a furor
online.
National Park Service agents have
found the images at five parks in
California, Utah and Oregon so far, and
Park Service spokesman Jeffrey Olson
said the vandalism could lead to felony
charges for the person responsible.
The images appear to come from a
New York state woman traveling across
the West this summer and documenting
her work on Instagram and Tumblr, said
Casey Schreiner of modernhiker.com,
whose blog post tipped off authorities.
The investigation also is the subject
of well-trafficked Reddit threads, with
people railing against the drawings as
the defacing of irreplaceable natural
landscapes.
Youre seeing this emotional
response of people who feel like
theyve been kicked in the gut,
Schreiner said.
Its not the first time vandalism in
parks has been documented on social
media. Last year in Utah, two Boy
Scout leaders caused an online uproar
when they recorded themselves top-
pling an ancient rock formation at
Goblin Valley State Park and posted it
on YouTube.
But in this case, the woman appears
to consider the work an artistic expres-
sion, Schreiner said.
One photograph online shows a
painting of a womans face on a rock
outcropping against the panoramic
sweep of Oregons Crater Lake National
Park. In another, a line drawing of a
woman smoking a cigarette appears on
red rock in Utahs Canyonlands. It is
about the size of a backpack.
The images appear to have been
painted with acrylic paint or drawn with
marker, Schreiner said.
He took screen Tuesday shots of
seven images from Instagram and
Tumblr accounts under the handle
creepytings. The accounts later were
made private or taken down.
Goofy dinosaur blends
Barney and Jar Jar Binks
WASHINGTON Nearly 50 years
ago, scientists found bones of two
large, powerful dinosaur arms in
Mongolia and figured they had discov-
ered a fearsome critter with killer claws.
Now scientists have found the rest of
the dinosaur and have new descriptions
for it: goofy and weird.
The beast probably lumbered along
on two legs like a cross between TV
dinosaur Barney and Jar Jar Binks of
Star Wars fame. It was 16 feet tall and
36 feet long, weighing seven tons,
with a duckbill on its head and a hump-
like sail on its back. Throw in those
killer claws, tufts of feathers here and
there, and no teeth and try not to
snicker.
And if thats not enough, it ate like a
giant vacuum cleaner.
Thats Deinocheirus mirificus, which
means terrible hands that look pecu-
liar. It is newly reimagined after a full
skeleton was found in Mongolia and
described in a paper released Wednesday
by the journal Nature. Some 70 million
years old, its an ancestral relative of
the modern ostrich and belongs to the
dinosaur family often called ostrich
dinosaurs.
Deinocheirus turned out to be one
the weirdest dinosaurs beyond our
imagination, study lead author Yuong-
Nam Lee, director of the Geological
Museum in Daejeon, South Korea, said
in an email.
When scientists in 1965 found the
first forearm bones nearly 8 feet
long many of them envisioned a
creature that would strike terror in peo-
ple, said University of Maryland
dinosaur expert Thomas Holtz Jr, who
wasnt part of the study. Now its a
creature that would strike bemusement,
amazement.
And yes, he said, its pretty goofy.
The find is tremendous but is a cau-
tionary tale about jumping to conclu-
sions without enough evidence, said
University of Chicago dinosaur expert
Paul Sereno, who wasnt part of the dis-
covery.

A tradition since 1941, this weekend ush-
ers in the second week of Daly Citys Grand
National Livestock Exposition, Horse
Show and Rodeo.
One can relive the Old West at the Cow
Palace with a rodeo that features 600 plus
professional cowboys who compete in the
seven rodeo events for championship
points.
Its family entertainment for all ages,
said Grand National Manager Seth Doulton.
Theres lots of horses to see. Its just a lot
of fun. Some of the top cowboys in the
United States will be here and pay out about
$300, 000 in prize money.
At the Livestock Show, exhibitors will
enter their best stock competing for top
prize money and the Holy Grail, the honor
of showing a Grand National Champion.
Oct. 18 was Cattlemens Night and Harris
Ranch provided ribeyes for more than 1, 000
cattlemen who came to honor this years
Livestock person of the year, Gilbert
Aguirre from San Juan Capistrano.
This was my third trip to the Grand
National and it was a great experience and I
love the agricultural education message that
most rodeos dont bother to push, said
event announcer Anthony Lucia in a press
release.
Another highlight is performances from
Bobby Kerr of the Professional Mustang
Specialty Act of Hico, Texas. He performs
tricks with various mustang horses. He has
been training horses for more than 40 years
and decided to enter the Supreme Mustang
Makeover, which involves training wild
horses for 120 days before having them per-
form in a sophisticated competition. Kerr
decided to take his award-winning mustangs
on the road and now is performing in more
than 70 rodeo performances across the
United States. He is also the founder of the
Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame located in the

ing 7:30 p. m. Oct. 24 and Oct. 25.

San Carlos decreased its municipal water use
by 20 percent as requested by the governor
but is looking at declaring an emergency to
allow conservation and rationing measures.
Under a proposal coming before it Monday
night, the City Council would grant itself the
authority to establish a water shortage emer-
gency which triggers actions like restrictions
and citations for violators. For the city to
declare its own water shortage emergency,
either the governor or local water utility must
have first declared their own. Gov. Jerry
Brown did so in January with a voluntary call
for water cutbacks and local San Carlos sup-
plier California Water Company followed
suit.
Cal Water is receiving calls from residents
about water wasters but limited resources
leave it unable to proactively seek out water
waste or implement fines, city attorney Greg
Rubens said.
Once the ordinance is in effect, the council
can move ahead with imposing its list of
measures, Rubens said.
The citys ordinance would step in with its
own restrictions and give authority to peace
officers and some city workers to issue cita-
tions which are punishable as infractions.
The ordinance also includes provision for
exemptions and an appeals process.
During a water emergency in San Carlos,
vehicle washing is banned unless a shut-off
nozzle or similar equipment is used as is using
water in a way that runs off. Landscape water-
ing will be prohibited from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
and customers risk citations if theyve been
notified in writing to repair defective plumb-
ing or irrigation and fails to do so within five
business days. Water use is also banned for
washing hard surface areas like driveways,
filling decorative water features or operating a
car wash unless the water is recirculated or
recycled.
Restaurants will also not serve water unless
requested and other uses could be determined
wasteful by the Public Works director or pub-
lic utility.
San Carlos drought response comes on the
heels of other Peninsula cities like Redwood
City that have also implemented water preser-
vation measures.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, Oct. 27 at City Hall, 600 Elm St.,
San Carlos.

State prisons to take
new balance after riots
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California
prison officials will have to bal-
ance safety concerns with the need
to avoid racial stereotypes after
the state agreed to end a long-
standing policy that had been
challenged in court and deemed
unconstitutional by the U. S.
Department of Justice.
Under a court settlement made
public Wednesday night, the state
will drop its practice of attempt-
ing to prevent further violence by
segregating inmates by race after
riots involving racially based
prison gangs.
Attorneys representing inmates
had challenged the policy as
unfair because it targeted all
inmates of a particular race even if
they were not involved in the
riot.
Now the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation
has to implement a new way of
keeping the peace after fights
while ensuring the constitutional
rights of inmates who were not
involved.
Under new rules, prisons can
lock down every inmate in an
affected area, or lock down indi-
vidual inmates suspected of being
involved in the incident or the
gangs that were involved.
California was the only state
with a race-based lockdown policy
and now can employ practices used
successfully in other states, said
Rebekah Evenson, an attorney
with the nonprofit Berkeley-based
Prison Law Office, which repre-
sented inmates in the lawsuit.
Nobody else has done race-
based lockdowns, for the reason
that racial classifications are just
too broad of a brush, she said
Thursday. Youre sweeping up
people who have no connection to
a gang other than the color of
their skin.
Corrections spokesman Jeffrey
Callison said in an email that the
departments first priority is the
safety and security of everyone
inside our prisons staff,
inmates and visitors.
The decision about which
inmates to restrict, and for how
long, is made based on who is at
risk and who is putting others at
risk, he added. Lockdowns and
other limitations on inmate
movement are not made on race.
The U. S. Justice Department
agreed in a non-binding court fil-
ing last year, saying that the old
policy violated 14th Amendment

TUCSON, Ariz. The number
of people who died trying to cross
the U. S. -Mexico border has
dropped to the lowest level in 15
years as more immigrants turned
themselves in to authorities in
Texas and fewer took their chances
with the dangerous trek across the
Arizona desert.
The U. S. government recorded
307 deaths in the 2014 fiscal year
that ended in September the
lowest number since 1999. In
2013, the number of deaths was
445.
The Border Patrols Rio Grande
Valley sector finished the 2014
budget year with 115 deaths, com-
pared with 107 in the Tucson sec-
tor, according to figures obtained
by the Associated Press. It marks
the first time since 2001 that
Arizona has not been the deadliest
place to cross the border.
Arizona has long been the most
dangerous border region because
of triple-digit temperatures, rough
desert terrain and the sheer volume
of immigrants coming in to the
state from Mexico. But more
immigrants are now entering
through Texas and not Arizona,
driven by a surge of people from
Central America.
The Tucson and Rio Grande
Valley both saw their numbers of
deaths decline from 2013,
although Arizonas drop was more
precipitous.
Border enforcement officials
say the lower numbers are in part
due to increased rescue efforts as
well as a Spanish-language media
campaign discouraging Latin
Americans from walking across
the border.

Truck carrying cars
knocks out 30-foot tree
A double-decker semi truck carrying two
rows of cars knocked down a 30-foot euca-
lyptus tree in San Mateo Thursday.
The truck was attempting to pull away
from the curb when it struck the tree, tear-
ing it from its roots and knocking out a
light post on Claremont Street and Fifth
Avenue around noon, according to San
Mateo police.
The driver transports cars across the
country about every nine days, according
to police. The driver was insured and will
be responsible for the citys costs incurred
in removing the tree and possibly replac-
ing the post, according to police.

Voter registration went up just a hair in
San Mateo County between the June pri-
mary numbers and the deadline for the
November ballot but the real question
remains how many will actually turn out.
The county finished the Monday registra-
tion deadline with 354, 082 total voters
not far off from the 354, 994 registered vot-
ers in June. Of those, 179, 823 are registered
Democrat, 66, 175 Republican and 7, 663
American Independent. No party affiliation
was given by 94, 372 people and the nebu-
lous miscellaneous category has 861 vot-
ers.
With the governors race and several state
propositions on the ballot, turnout is
expected to be higher than the June primary
when San Mateo County finished with
27. 45 percent. The majority of those voters
used absentee ballots and that number is
also growing to nearly 56 percent.
The ease and convenience of voting by
mail has made it a popular option among
county voters, Mark Church, chief elec-
tions officer and assessor-county clerk-
recorder, said in a prepared statement.
In June, more than three times as many
absentee ballots were cast than those at
precincts or voting centers.
The deadline to request an absentee ballot
for the Nov. 4 election is Tuesday, Oct. 28 to
allow sufficient postal delivery time.
Requests must be made in person at either
the Elections Office at 40 Tower Road or the
assessor-county clerk-records office at 555
County Center in Redwood City. The
requests can also be for permanent vote by
mail status or only the Nov. 4 election.
To request such a ballot, voters must com-
plete the application form on the back of
their sample ballot an voter guide, go
online to www. shapethefuture. org for a
request form or submit a signed written
request stating the full name, residence and
mailing address, birth date and date of the
election. These should be mailed to the San
Mateo County Registration and Elections
Division, 40 Tower Road, San Mateo, CA
94402, faxed to 312-5348 or emailed to reg-
istrar@smcare. org. A one-time ballot may
also be requested by phone at 312-5222.
Office hours at both elections offices to
submit a request or deliver an absentee bal-
lot are 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. on weekdays, 10
a. m. to 3 p. m. Saturday, Oct. 25 and Nov. 1
and 7 a. m. to 8 p. m. Tuesday, Nov. 4 which
is Election Day.

County voter registration ticks up
Absentee ballot deadline looms, Dems still highest number of registrants
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A senior center maintenance worker arrested earlier this
week for allegedly burglarizing resident apartments pleaded
not guilty to more than a dozen charges.
Eric Gamboa, 37, is charged with six
counts of first-degree burglary, six counts
of theft from an elder person and one
count of receiving stolen property. At his
initial arraignment, Gamboa pleaded not
guilty to all charges and bail was set at
$300,000. He returns to court Nov. 3 for a
preliminary hearing with a three-hour
estimate.
Gamboa was an employee at the
Versailles Senior Center in San Mateo and prosecutors say
over the past two months he used his work key to enter the
condominiums of six residents when they weren t home to
take property of which most was cash and jewelry. Gamboa
was allegedly caught in the act by the center manager who
was suspicious about a missing key. Authorities recovered
stolen cash and jewelry from his person and vehicle, accord-
ing to the District Attorney s Office.
Gamboa remains in custody.
Dad: White House jumper has mental health issues
WASHINGTON The latest person to climb over the White
House fence had the paranoid belief he was being watched by
cameras and had previously been arrested at the executive man-
sion, his father said.
Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Maryland, was ordered
held without bond in an appearance Thursday before a federal
magistrate judge. Wearing blue prison garb, he resisted being
taken away and started talking as two deputy marshals removed
him from the courtroom.
Adesanya has been charged with two federal offenses:
unlawfully entering the restricted grounds of the White House
and harming two law enforcement dogs that were released to
take him down. A preliminary hearing and detention hearing
have been scheduled for Monday.
HealthCare.govs EZ form not for legal immigrants
WASHINGTON HealthCare.gov s simpler online appli-
cation is being touted as a big win for consumers. But it can t
be used by legal immigrants and naturalized U.S. citizens, who
represent millions of potential new health insurance customers.
That s prompting worries that many Hispanics and Asians
will end up in long enrollment queues when the second sign-up
season for coverage under President Barack Obama s health
care law gets underway next month.
The administration says immigrants are not being over-
looked, and points to other improvements in the application
process. Officials say what they can do is limited by the law s
requirements.
Advocates aren t buying that explanation.

Eric Gamboa
Worker pleads not guilty
to thefts at senior home
By Jonathan Lemire

NEW YORK An emergency room
doctor who recently returned to the city
after treating Ebola patients in West
Africa has tested positive for the virus,
city officials said Thursday. He s the
fourth case in the U.S. and the first in the
nation s biggest city.
Craig Spencer, a member of Doctors
Without Borders, returned from Guinea
more than a week ago and reported
Thursday coming down with a 103-
degree fever and diarrhea. He was rushed
to Manhattan s Bellevue Hospital, a des-
ignated Ebola center, and was being treat-
ed in a specially built isolation ward.
A law enforcement official and a city
official received notification of
Spencer s initial test results and told the
Associated Press on the condition of
anonymity Thursday night but weren t
authorized to discuss the case publicly
before a city news conference. A further
test by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention will be necessary to con-
firm the initial test results.
The CDC has dispatched an Ebola
response team to New York, and the
city s disease detectives have been trac-
ing the doctor s contacts to identify any-
one who may be at risk.
City officials say Spencer acknowl-
edged riding the subway and taking a cab
to a Brooklyn bowling alley in the past
week before he started showing symp-
toms.
His Harlem apartment was cordoned
off, and his fiancee, who was not showing
symptoms, was being watched in a quar-
antine ward at Bellevue. The Department
of Health was on site across the street
from the apartment building Thursday
night, giving out information to area resi-
dents.
Health officials say the chances of the
average New Yorker contracting Ebola,
which is spread through direct contact
with the bodily fluids of an infected per-
son, are slim. Someone can t be infected
just by being near someone who s sick
with Ebola. Someone isn t contagious
unless he is sick. Symptoms are similar to
malaria and cholera.
The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has
killed about 4,800 people. In the United
States, the first person diagnosed with the
disease was a Liberian man, who fell ill
days after arriving in Dallas and later died,
becoming the only fatality.
Two nurses who treated him were
infected and are hospitalized.

So uth San Franci s co has completed
a new bicycle path on Forbes Boulevard,
adding over a half mile of new bicycle
infrastructure to the citys existing net-
work. The Fo rbes Bo ul ev ard Bi ke
Lane Impro v ement Pro ject, which
was funded by Genentech and project
managed by the city, includes two Cl as s
II bicycle lanes, along with new street
lighting, landscaping, irrigation and
storm facilities on Forbes Boulevard.
Prior to the start of the project, Forbes
Boulevard had four 12-foot travel lanes,
two westbound and two eastbound. The
project reduced Forbes Boulevard from
two travel lanes to one travel lane in
each direction. The center median divides
were also widened, increasing from 12
feet to 20 feet, awarding greater capacity
for the construction of a 6-foot wide
bicycle lane with a 2-foot wide buffer
zone in each direction.

Paci fi c Gas and El ectri c
Co mpany tested a cutting edge inspec-

ral gas pipeline in South San Francisco
Wednesday. The robot, a new inspection
method known as El ectro mag neti c
Aco us ti c Trans ducer, travels inside
the gas pipeline and inspects the condi-
tion of girth welds which connect sec-
tions of the pipe together. The robot
sends ultrasonic waves within the pipe
that automatically detect any defects on
the weld.
Traditionally, girth weld pipe inspec-
tions require crews to excavate the
ground above to access each section of
pipe. Because the robot can travel long
distances within the pipe, crews would
no longer need to dig up the pipe, allow-
ing for less disruption to customers and a
significant reduction in time, according
to PG&E.

China launches
experimental moon orbiter
BEIJING China launched an experi-
mental spacecraft Friday to fly around the
moon and back to Earth in preparation for
the countrys first unmanned return trip to
the lunar surface.
The eight-day program is a test run for a
2017 mission that aims to have a Chinese
spacecraft land on the moon, retrieve sam-
ples and return to Earth. That would make
burgeoning space power China only the
third country after the United States and
Russia to have carried out such a mission.
The spacecraft lifted off from the south-
western Xichang satellite launch center
early in the morning, separated from its car-
rier rocket and entered Earth orbit shortly
after, the State Administration of Science,
Technology and Industry for National
Defense reported, according to the official

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
T
he state of California has a history
of attaching unpalatable features to
what should be a political no-brain-
er establishing a rainy-day fund to elim-
inate the distasteful adherence to economic
boom and bust cycles.
And so it is this year when a rainy-day
fund proposition is nally on the ballot,
however, it is saddled with a feature that
would require school districts to lower their
threshold for reserves. The caveat was
slipped into Proposition 2 late in the leg-
islative cycle to ameliorate concerns from
teachers unions that certain school dis-
tricts were withholding raises while they
had money in reserve. If those reserves
cannot be kept at higher levels, school dis-
tricts that were exercising scal prudence
by keeping reserves would be forced to
spend the money. And teachers always have
a good idea on what that money should be
spent.
This is not to bash teachers, who do
tremendous work in challenging environ-
ments and probably should receive higher
compensation for that. However, all gov-
ernmental agencies should hold a certain
amount of its money in reserve to ensure
stability when revenue is weaker than
anticipated or if there is an emergency situ-
ation.
So it is a bit ironic that Proposition 2,
which seeks a reserve for the state budget,
will defeat the possibility for school dis-
tricts to do the same. There is a workaround
in that Proposition 2 would create a
statewide reserve, but anyone who has been
around enough knows that there is an
inherent danger in trusting the state to help
exactly in the way it is needed, to put it
delicately.
In 2009, a previous effort to create a
rainy-day fund for the state was attached to
a $10 billion temporary sales, use,
income and vehicle tax attached to the
2009-10 budget that would be extended for
one or two years to help stem the bleeding
state budget situation in the midst of the
Great Recession. Voters overwhelmingly
defeated the measure in part because of a
fatigue of new taxes and the bitter realiza-
tion that the temporary taxes were
becoming nothing of the sort.
That was our real last opportunity at
establishing a rainy-day fund for the state
an idea that has been necessary since the
rising tide of revenue during the dot-com
boom and the excessive government
spending that followed. When the dot-com
bust inevitably arrived at our doors, the
state was left ill-prepared to manage its
nances and ultimately led to the recall of
governor Gray Davis and the election of
governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
What followed is history and not neces-
sary for discussion now, but the dire need
for controls and reserves has long been
apparent. Today, we now have a chance to
nally pull the trigger on this mechanism
that will assist in staving off the dysfunc-
tional and embarrassing deliberations that
occur when there just isnt enough money
in the pot to keep the state solvent.
Proposition 2 will require a 1. 5 percent
portion of the states general fund revenue
and any amount higher than 8 percent of
one years capital gains tax revenue to go
into a rainy-day fund while also providing
a way to pay down the states wall of debt
created after the dot-com bust.
The requirement that school districts
must lower their reserves is unpalatable for
sure, but there are ways for districts to
appeal to their county ofces of education
to provide exemptions in certain dire cir-
cumstances. We hope for a legislative cure
for this particular amendment, but dont
count on it. While this portion is unsa-
vory, it is not enough to stand in the way
of the states true opportunity to do what it
should have for years require a rainy-day
fund to ensure scal stability. Vote yes on
Proposition 2.
Yes on Measure H
Editor,
I wasnt sure about Measure H, so I spent
some time looking at the materials avail-
able. I do believe in public education, but I
also know that sometimes well-intentioned
people, such as community college dis-
tricts, can make mistakes, or ask too much
of the community. However, when I read
the Vote No on Measure H website, I
knew what to do.
Im voting yes on Measure H. The no
campaign arguments are selsh, slanted,
narrow-minded and, in the end, short-sight-
ed. When you call people you disagree with
liars, chances are Im not going to fol-
low your advice.
Im voting yes on Measure H. Strong
community colleges are incredibly impor-
tant to all of us.
Tony Press
Brisbane
Vote no on H
Editor,
In her letter No on Measure H (in the
Oct. 14 edition of the Daily Journal),
Measure H opponent Maxine Terner got it
absolutely right when she said that the San
Mateo County Community College District
has been extravagant in its spending on
items not directly linked to education.
Having driven up to CSM for the rst
time in years, I was surprised to see a large
and obviously costly workout facility with
two new Olympic sized swimming pools.
CSM is not a university needing such cost-
ly superuities to lure new students. It is a
two-year junior college originally estab-
lished to provide a no-frills affordable edu-
cation that was inexpensive to both tax-
payers and students alike.
I attended several classes at CSM in the
60s, which then had only minimal ameni-
ties. It served the community remarkably
well; all without the expense and glitz of a
costly university experience. But the
directors seemed to have developed visions
of grandeur since then, with proposals for
lavish, unnecessary projects that come at
the expense of classroom education.
Chancellor Galatolos arguments for the
expenditures are vague and weak. He even
brought up community pride as a rationale.
It is not a matter of pride. With Measure H
at a third of a billion dollars, (just for
starters), it is a matter of cost. The direc-
tors are moving away from the original
goal of supporting affordable education,
and are counting on voters generous incli-
nation to approve any measure related to
educational funding. Until they get their
priorities straight, vote no on H.

Editorial
Editorial
No on Proposition 45
Nearly everyone with health insurance,
and that includes most Californians, has
seen their rates spike in recent years. The
theories as to why are many, but it is likely
the repercussions of contending with the
advent of the Affordable Care Act, still in
its nascent stages.
The frustration caused by this increase in
rates should make Proposition 45 seem
like a slam dunk. Proposition 45 seeks to
require any change to insurance rates or
charges be approved by the elected
California insurance commissioner before
taking effect.
The problem is, Covered California, the
states new arm of the Affordable Care Act,
already is charged with the task of negoti-
ating with health care insurance providers
and approving what is available to
Californians. Proposition 45 would add
another layer of bureaucracy to what is
already provided by the state when it comes
to insurance rates and will likely delay crit-
ical changes necessary when the act is
modied.
While having another layer of govern-
ment oversight may seem like a good idea,
it is simply too soon to tell how the
Affordable Care Act and Covered California
will work together to the benet of all in
the state. Perhaps after the two have settled
would be another time to give a proposi-
tion like this one consideration.
Proposition 46 is the quintessential
example of what is wrong with our initia-
tive process. Proponents interested in rais-
ing the cap on medical negligence lawsuits
sought legislative avenues and, when
unsuccessful, shopped around for an issue
that would make it more palatable to the
everyday voter. Voila, drug testing for doc-
tors was glommed on top of the proposal
and sent to the ballot. There is little evi-
dence that substance abuse is a widespread
problem with doctors anywhere and there is
already sufcient protocol in place for oth-
ers to report when there might be suspi-
cion. Simply put, this portion of the
proposition is a red herring.
To the main point of the proposition,
whether the cap on medical negligence
should be lifted from its current amount of
$250, 000 for pain and suffering, that
would require current doctors to increase the
amount of insurance they currently cover.
Doing so would create a severe disadvan-
tage for those doctors who are currently
contending with the most dramatic shift in
how health care is delivered in our time.
Legislative efforts to raise the cap have
continually failed and for good reason.
Vote no.
Proponents of Proposition 47 suggest it
would ease the burden on our prison and
jail system by lowering the threshold for
certain crimes like drug possession, petty
theft, receiving stolen property and forg-
ing/writing bad checks from felonies to
misdemeanors.
However, there is nothing already in
place that would prevent district attorneys
in every county in California from simply
charging such crimes as misdemeanors if
they so choose. Forcing this on every
county takes away the discretion of indi-
vidual district attorneys to charge for
crimes according to the needs of the com-
munity they serve.
Here in San Mateo County, the threat of a
felony charge is often enough to cause a
criminal to choose an alternative sentenc-
ing. Such alternative sentencing options
include mental health, substance abuse and
victim services the very programs pro-
ponents of Proposition 47 seek to pro-
mote.
While there may be counties that are
heavy-handed in their charging and sen-
tencing, that does not mean counties such
as San Mateo that apply the law with pru-
dence and an appreciation of the communi-
tys values should be limited in the very
tools that will keep criminals both off the
streets and out of jail and into the pro-
grams they need to rehabilitate.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK A combination of
strong company earnings and encour-
aging economic reports, both in the
U. S. and Europe, gave the stock mar-
ket another day of solid gains on
Thursday.
Caterpillar jumped after its third-
quarter earnings report was better than
Wall Street analysts had been expect-
ing. The company also raised its prof-
it outlook for the year. 3M, the maker
of Post-it notes, industrial coatings
and ceramics, was among other compa-
nies that gained after releasing impres-
sive third-quarter results.
Investors were also cheered by a
report that showed the number of peo-
ple applying for U. S. unemployment
benefits remains at a historically low
level, suggesting that hiring is gain-
ing steam. In Europe, a survey of busi-
nesses eased concerns that the region
may be slipping back into recession.
Solid company earnings are sending
the stock market higher and helping it
recover from a jarring drop in mid-
October that gave the Standard &
Poors 500 index its biggest slump in
two years. The index has gained on
five of the last six days, and on
Tuesday logged its biggest advance of
the year.
The economic backdrop here in the
United States is continuing to look
strong. Earnings are validating that,
said Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market
strategist at Voya Investment
Management.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 23. 71 points, or 1. 2 percent, to
1, 950. 82. The Dow Jones industrial
average climbed 216. 58 points, or 1. 3
percent, to 16, 677. 90. The Nasdaq
composite rose 69. 95 points, or 1. 6
percent, to 4, 452. 79.
Eight of the ten sectors in the S&P
500 gained, led by a surge in industrial
companies after Caterpillar and 3M
reported their earnings.
Caterpillar said that some belt tight-
ening had helped it contend with a
slowing global economy. The compa-
nys CEO said he was hopeful that eco-
nomic growth would pick up next year.
Caterpillars stock rose $4. 70, or 5
percent, to $99. 27. 3M gained $6. 10,
or 4. 4 percent, to $145. 05.
Companies in the S&P 500 have
reported earnings growth of 5. 5 per-
cent for the third quarter, according to
analysts at S&P Capital IQ. The rate of
growth has slowed from 10. 4 percent
in the second quarter, but is forecast to
pick up in the final three months of the
year.
Stocks had started the day higher,
following gains in European indexes,
after a survey of the manufacturing and
services sectors eased some fears that
the region could be falling back into
recession.
Financial information company
Markit said its composite purchasing
managers index for the 18-country
bloc, a broad gauge of business activi-
ty, rose to 52. 2 in October from 52 in
September. Analysts had expected a
small decline. Readings above 50 sug-
gest expansion.
Although the reports from Europe
werent fantastic, they suggested
that the region would avoid sliding
back into recession, said David
Lebovitz, Global Market Strategist at
J. P. Morgan Funds. Concerns about
the worsening growth outlook in
Europe helped push stocks sharply
lower last week.
It almost feels like the markets can
breathe a sigh of relief for the time
being, Lebovitz said. That, com-
bined with the earnings numbers, is
whats driving the market.
European markets closed higher.
Frances CAC-40 rose 1. 3 percent.
Germanys DAX gained 1. 2 percent
and Britains FTSE 100 edged up 0. 3
percent.
In energy trading, the price of oil
rose sharply Thursday on reports of
lower production in Saudi Arabia and
signs of strength in the U. S. economy.
Cloud business lifts
Microsofts quarterly results
SAN FRANCISCO Microsofts quarter-
ly profit and revenue sailed past expecta-
tions Thursday, as CEO Satya Nadellas push
to embrace cloud computing and diversify
into mobile devices helped lift sales by 25
percent.
Revenue from cloud services, including
software delivered over the Internet, more
than doubled last quarter at a time when
some of Microsofts better-known seg-
ments are slowing. Shares jumped over 3
percent in after-hours trading. The stock,
which closed at $45. 02 before the results
were released, is up 33 percent in the last 12
months.
Microsoft still makes most of its money
from selling traditional software for busi-
nesses and home computers. But Nadella has
acknowledged that traditional software has
an uncertain future, as people buy fewer per-
sonal computers and businesses switch to
software that can be accessed online,
instead of installing programs on individ-
ual machines.
The tech giant reported net income of
$4. 54 billion, or 54 cents per share, for its
fiscal first quarter that ended in September
beating analysts consensus estimate of
49 cents per share, according to FactSet.
Fuel costs ease,
U.S. airline profits soar
DALLAS Profits are soaring at the
biggest U. S. airlines as fuel prices drop
but dont expect fares to fall too.
Heading into the busy holiday-travel peri-
od, the airlines expect even cheaper fuel,
thanks to the nosedive in crude oil prices.
The price of jet fuel, an airlines biggest
single expense, has dropped by about one-
fifth since mid-June.
Airlines are also benefiting from contin-
ued strong travel demand that allows them
to push fares higher. Executives report
strong bookings for holiday travel and say
that Ebola headlines dont seem to be scar-
ing away travelers.
The four largest U. S. airlines sold at least
83 percent of their seats in the third quarter.
A decade ago, more than a quarter of seats
went empty.
The results were there to see Thursday, as
several leading airlines reported financial
results for the third quarter, which includes
the end of the heavy summer-vacation trav-
el season.
Business briefs
By Tom Krisher
DETROIT Two U. S. senators are calling
on regulators to issue a nationwide recall of
cars with faulty air bags made by Takata
Corp. , questioning why automakers have
been allowed to limit recalls to only certain
locations with high humidity.
Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of
Connecticut and Edward Markey of
Massachusetts made the demand in a letter
to Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx,
who oversees the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
Air bag inflators made by Takata can rup-
ture, causing metal fragments to fly out in a
crash. Safety advocates say the problem has
caused four deaths and multiple injuries. So
far automakers have recalled about 12 mil-
lion vehicles worldwide due to the problem.
But in the U. S. , many automakers have
limited their recalls to certain high-humidi-
ty areas. Takata has recommended that
automakers conduct recalls only in Florida,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin
Islands areas with high absolute
humidity. Some automakers have included a
few more states, but cars in many states with
high humidity levels have been excluded.
No firm cause of the problem has been
identified. Takata and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration are investi-
gating the impact of prolonged absolute
humidity, which is a measure of the moisture
content in the air, on chemicals that propel
the air bags in a crash. Theyre looking into
whether moisture in the air can cause the
chemicals to explode with too much force,
causing metal parts to fracture.
In their letter, the senators ask Foxx to
encourage automakers to provide drivers
with free loaner cars if parts arent avail-
able. Theyre also dubious of the reasons
given so far for limiting the recalls.
Almost any area of the country may have
high heat and humidity for an extended peri-
od of time, including the Northeast. The
lines theyve drawn are completely sense-
less and arbitrary, Blumenthal said in an
interview. It would be laughable except its
deadly serious in its consequences.
The senators letter also notes that people
drive their cars from the Northeast to spend
weeks or months in higher-humidity south-
ern states.
Takata air bags have been the subject of
recalls for several years, but U. S. regulators
didnt open an investigation into them until
June.

SAN FRANCISCO A Silicon Valley
company is paying more than $43, 000 in
back wages and penalties after labor regula-
tors found eight employees brought from
India were grossly underpaid and overworked
while assigned to a special project in the
U. S.
The probe announced this week by the U. S
Department of Labor uncovered several egre-
gious violations at Electronics for Imaging
Inc. , a printing technology specialist that
generated revenue of $728 million last year,
when the misconduct occurred.
Among other things, Electronics for
Imaging paid the eight workers far below
Californias required minimum wage $8
per hour at the time while they helped
the company move its headquarters from
Foster City to Fremont during a three-
month period, according to the Labor
Department.
While assigned to the project, some of the
Indian workers logged as many as 122 hours
in a week without being paid overtime. As
result, they received as little as $1. 21 per
hour.
Electronics for Imaging says it uninten-
tionally overlooked U. S. laws requiring
foreign workers to be paid at least minimum
wage, with overtime for more than 40 week-
ly hours on the job. Instead, the company
gave the Indians unspecified bonuses while
paying the transferred workers the same
wages they normally received in their nor-
mal jobs in Bangalore, India. The workers
were even paid in rupees while in the U. S.
Michael Eastwood, a Department of Labor
assistant district director, said the abuses at
Electronics for Imaging were among the
most outrageous he had ever seen even
worse than problems he had seen at garment
factories in southern California.
U.S. tech firm fined for underpaying Indian workers
WASHINGTON Average U. S. long-term
mortgage rates continued to slide this week,
raising prospects of a wave of consumers
refinancing their loans. The 30-year mort-
gage fell further below 4 percent.
Mortgage company Freddie Mac said
Thursday that the nationwide average for a
30-year loan declined to 3. 92 percent from
3. 97 percent last week the lowest level
since June 2013. It stood at 4. 53 percent
back in January. The average for a 15-year
mortgage, a popular choice for people who
are refinancing, fell to 3. 08 percent from
3. 18 percent.
It was the fifth straight week that mort-
gage rates retreated.
The possibility of locking in a mortgage
rate below 4 percent can be tantalizing for
consumers. Across the country last week,
homeowners and would-be homeowners
eager for a bargain rate fired off inquiries to
lenders.
Before last week, many bankers, lenders
and borrowers had assumed that mortgage
rates would soon start rising closer to a two-
decade average of 6 percent. That was based
on expectations that the Federal Reserve
would start raising its key short-term rate
next year a move that likely would lead to
higher mortgage rates.
But that assumption fell suddenly into
doubt as stocks plunged last Monday and
Wednesday amid fears about global econom-
ic weaknesses, the spread of Ebola and the
threat of the Islamic State militia group in
the Middle East.
Seeking safety, investors poured money
into U. S. Treasurys. Higher demand drives
up prices for those government bonds and
causes their yields to drop. The yield on the
10-year note traded as low as 1. 91 percent
last Wednesday.
This week the yield on the benchmark
Treasury note recovered to 2. 22 percent
Wednesday. It traded at 2. 26 percent
Thursday morning.
Average U.S. 30-year loan rate falls to 3.92 percent

Aragon football coach Steve Sell enjoys
watching Half Moon Bay play, strictly as a
fan of high school football.
What he doesnt enjoy, however, is hav-
ing to coach against the Cougars.
When I looked at the schedule, I knew it
(the Half Moon Bay game) would be a big
one, Sell said. They are the same old Half
Moon Bay and I mean that in most compli-
mentary sense. Theyre tough, theyre
scrappy, they tackle well, they block well.
Sells Dons will face the next big test in
their quest to capture an Ocean Division
title when they host Half Moon Bay at 3
p. m. Friday in the Daily Journals Game of
the Week.
Sell and the Dons have only met the
Cougars a handful of times over nearly 20
years, but they have faced off twice since
2011. Half Moon Bay posted a 32-21 win
last year and in 2011, Half Moon Bay won
the Ocean Division title on the final day of
the regular season, by blocking Aragons
game-winning field goal attempt on the
final play of the game to win 21-20.
The last couple of times weve played
them, weve fallen behind, Sell said. The
key to this game, and every other game in
this league, is turnovers. The teams are so
evenly matched, whoever takes care of the
ball has the best chance of winning the
football game.
In the day and age of teams putting three
and four wide receivers on the field and
spreading defenses out, Half Moon Bay is
decidedly old school, utilizing the run-
option and the scrum offense a running
system that has nearly every player on the
field within a five-yard box that uses misdi-
rection or the overloading of one side of the
line.
They make you prepare for stuff you
havent seen all year (from opponents).
That makes it a challenge, Sell said. In
the option, because the quarterback is
involved, hes a runner. Their quarterback

Menlo setter Elisa Merten lofts a kill over the Sacred Heart Prep block to force game point in
the second set of the Knights sweep of their archrival Thursday.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sacred Heart Preps gymnasium rocked to
its foundation with the rivalry energy it the
air Thursday evening, but it was Menlo that
rolled to a sweep, 25-19, 25-17, 25-23.
Coming off Tuesdays emotional five-set
loss to Harker Menlos first of the season
in West Bay Athletic League play the
Knights (6-1 in WBAL Foothill Division,
16-14 overall) got back in the win column,
slugging away with a variety of weapons
which forced the Gators defense to not key
on any specific player.
In the end, both teams left it all on the
floor in a grueling battle which saw Menlo
setter Elisa Merten take over with some
wildly creative kill shots on offense and
some unreal highlight-reel worthy digs on
defense.
Playing Sacred Heart is pretty nice, and
especially winning, Merten said. Having
big crowds is always fun. I wish ours was a
little bigger so we could have a little more
energy. But its definitely fun having people
yell at you. It makes every point a little
more intense and a little more meaningful.
Menlo got a variety of offensive show-
ings, including a match-high 13 kills from
junior outside hitter Lida Vandermeer. Junior
middle Payton Mack had nine kills and
sophomore Jessica Houghton previously
a libero who has emerged as a versatile six-
rotation player had eight kills.
I like the lineup that we had, Menlo head
coach Steve Cavella. Usually Lida ends up
getting the most swings. We were able to
get [each starter] getting some swings. So,
we were able to keep Sacred Heart Prep off
balance.
Not only did Merten run the offense with 33
assists, she produced six kills of her own,
including consecutive kills near the end of a
wild Game 2 to help the Knights stay in the
drivers seat. The lead changed hands six
times in Game 2, and was deadlocked at 14-14
Menlo sweeps rival SHP

SAN FRANCISCO Eric Hosmer loaded up,
launched a long fly and watched it sail toward
McCovey Cove. Way out there in right field,
near the 421-foot mark, the ball bonked off the
brick wall.
No splash shot.
We were definitely trying to hit em, the
Kansas City first baseman said. We took turns
trying, but no one did.
Even so, Hosmer liked what he saw during a
workout Thursday as many Royals got their
first look at San Franciscos waterfront ball-
park.
Starting in Game 3 of the World Series on
Friday against the Giants, they might also dis-
cover what makes AT&T Park so unique.
Its a little quirky out there, San Francisco
manager Bruce Bochy said.
Just wait until someone trips over a bullpen
mound chasing a foul ball. Or somebody loses
a fly in the mist that wafts above shallow cen-
ter. Or those swirling winds turn a routine
popup into an all-out scramble.
Who knows? Might even get a crazy carom
off that odd-shaped brick facade on the right-
field wall, resulting in the first Series inside-
the-park home run since 1929.
With that brick wall and that chain-link
fence, the ball go could go anywhere, Royals
outfielder Lorenzo Cain said.
Tim Hudson starts for San Francisco against
Jeremy Guthrie as the Royals play their first
game in San Francisco since 2005, when they
took two of three. Buddy Bell was their manag-
er back then, Tony Graffanino batted third and
Jeremy Affeldt was in the bullpen.
The 35-year-old Affeldt now pitches for the
Giants and came on in relief Wednesday night
in a 7-2 loss. He said he figured the Royals
could handle the new park.
Thats an athletic team over there. So I think
they can make adjustments. I dont think well
go in thinking that theyre at a disadvantage
because of not being at our ballpark, he said.
World Series moves to Giants quirky AT&T Park
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum was sent
for an MRI of his tight back to determine
whether he can remain on the active roster
when the World Series resumes Friday night.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner
was walked off the field by athletic trainer
Dave Groeschner during the eighth inning
of San Franciscos 7-2 loss in Game 2 when
his left lower back tightened. Lincecum
retired five straight before exiting during
Salvador Perezs at-bat.
Timmy feels pretty
good today, Giants man-
ager Bruce Bochy said
Thursday. If some-
things going on, then
its obvious well have to
make the change. But my
hope is hes fine, and if
he is, then I think hell
be good to go tomorrow.
Lincecum hadnt
pitched since Sept. 28, not called upon out
of the bullpen during the NL Division Series
against Atlanta or the NLCS versus St.
Louis. Lincecum missed pregame introduc-
tions before Game 1 Tuesday because he was
vomiting.
Lincecum said after Wednesdays loss at
Kauffman Stadium that he didnt think the
long layoff contributed to tweaking his
back, noting he experienced more tightness
than pain. He felt his back tighten up on the
lower left side on one pitch and it didnt
look so good so I decided to stop.
I dont think so because Ive been on the
mound a few times in bullpen sessions, he
said. Im trying to go full bore in those. I
dont think it has anything to do with that.
The 30-year-old Lincecum pitched the
Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas and
was a key reliever during the 2012 title run
and four-game sweep of Detroit. While
Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter in 11
months against the Padres on June 25, the
struggling four-time All-Star was moved to
the bullpen in late August.

The Bulldogs (2-2, 8-10) scored a key Coast Conference
win over Merced, 14-11, Wednesday. Shelby Chung paced
CSM with four goals. Every CSM player scored in the
game, with Tayler OConnor contributing a hat trick and
Kacee Johnson and Morgan Smith each scoring twice.
With the win, CSM maintains a stronghold on the top
tier of the Coast Conference. The Bulldogs are presently in
fourth place, one game behind Merced. But with four
games left to play, Merced still must take on conference
powerhouses Foothill and West Valley, essentially putting
CSMs fate in its own hands.

The Bulldogs had a big day last Friday at the Pat Ryan
Invitational hosted by Santa Rosa Junior College. Three
CSM men finished in the top 15, with Matt Rouse taking
ninth place with a time of 21 minutes, 22. 09 seconds in
the four-mile race. CSMs Atzin Cardiel took 12th place
with a 21:47. 34 and Jorge Tafolla took 13th with a
21:49. 05. SRJCs Cristian Nazarek placed first with a

the game-winning on assists from Julian Alcala and Jose
Lucar Garrido. Garrido sealed the match with a goal in the
90th minute on an assist from Diego Garcia Velenci.

Caada (0-3 in Coast Conference, 6-9 overall) remains

Mens soccer
Skyline (2-4 in Coast Conference, 2-9-1 overall) has
won two of its last three after a 3-1 victory over Chabot

34th minute. Chabot narrowed the lead by getting on the
board in the 47th minute on a goal by Ramon Alcazar, but
Skylines Joao Costa but the game on ice with a goal on an
assist from Joel Marquez in the 76th minute.

Coming off a 3-1 loss to Hartnell last Friday, the
Trojans (4-4 in Coast Conference, 8-7 overall) got back in

Skyline (1-2 in Coast Conference, 11-8 overall) got its
first win in Coast Conference play Wednesday with a key

Lakers guard Steve Nash
ruled out for season with back injury
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash has
been ruled out for the season because of a back injury, putting
the two-time NBAMVPs career in doubt.
The Lakers and Nash announced their joint decision
Thursday, less than a week before the start of what would
have been the 40-year-old Nashs 19th NBA season. He
played in only 15 games last season with nerve root irri-
tation, but hoped for a comeback season after several
months of rehabilitation.
Instead, the Canadian point guard played in just three pre-
season games before feeling more back pain. He then strained
his back while carrying bags several days ago.
Being on the court this season has been my top priority,
and it is disappointing to not be able to do that right now,
Nash said. I work very hard to stay healthy, and unfortunate-
ly my recent setback makes performing at full capacity diffi-
cult. I will continue to support my team during this period of
rest, and will focus on my long-term health.
Nash will focus on rest and rehabilitation, according to
the teams news release. He is in the final season of his three-
year contract with the Lakers, but the clubs announcement
made no mention of possible retirement.
Nash has played in only 65 games since the Lakers traded
four draft picks for him in 2012 in a spectacularly failed
attempt to assemble a title contender built around Kobe
Bryant, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Nash.
Nash, the NBAs oldest active player, is due more than $9
million this season.
As disappointed as we are for ourselves and our fans, were
even more disappointed for Steve, Lakers general manager
Mitch Kupchak said. We know how hard hes worked the last
two years to try to get his body right for
the rigors of the NBA, and how badly he
wants to play, but unfortunately he simply
hasnt been able to get there up to this
point in time. Steve has been a consum-
mate professional, and we greatly appreci-
ate his efforts.
Nash is the greatest player in Canadian
history and one of the most complete
offensive guards of his generation.
He is third on the NBAs career assists
list, trailing only John Stockton and Jason Kidd. Nash also is
the most accurate free-throw shooter in NBAhistory, barely
edging Mark Prices career mark at 90.4 percent.
During training camp, Nash said he realized the upcoming
season likely would be his last. Yet he refused to call it a
farewell tour, holding out hope of playing beyond this season
if his back held up under the pounding of a full NBAschedule.
Instead, he couldnt even make it to opening night, a
bitter disappointment for a dynamic competitor who has-
nt won a title.
Nash won two MVP awards with the Phoenix Suns while
leading one of the most dynamic offenses in NBAhistory. His
playmaking and scoring abilities have earned him worldwide
recognition and eight All-Star game selections.
But Nashs tenure with the Lakers has been mostly miser-
able from his second game, when he broke a bone in his left
leg and missed the next 24 games.
He also struggled with injuries to his hamstrings and back
before last season, when he played in just nine of the Lakers
final 74 games due to recurrent pain in his back and legs.
The Lakers had hoped Nash would be their starting point guard
this season, but the club also acquired Jeremy Lin and signed vet-
eran free agent Ronnie Price. Los Angeles, which missed the
playoffs last season for just the third time in 38 years, has been
projected for a rough season even with a healthy Nash.

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders defensive end LaMarr
Woodley has a serious biceps injury and could miss the
remainder of the season.
Woodley has not practiced since getting injured in
Sundays 24-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Interim coach
Tony Sparano wouldnt discuss the specific nature of
Woodleys situation but acknowledged it is a long-term
injury.
Yeah, its long-term, Sparano said
Thursday. Im not going to sit here and
tell you its not. Well make that
announcement here whenever were ready
to make it. We dont have to do that but
for me to sit here and tell you its not
(serious), no, I cant do that.
The 29-year-old Woodley was one of
the Raiders prized acquisitions this past
offseason. He and fellow defensive end
Justin Tuck were signed to lucrative deals
as part of general manager Reggie McKenzies plan to bring
in veterans with championship experience.
It hasnt worked out so well for winless Oakland.
Woodley has five tackles in six games and is without a
sack. Tuck has 12 tackles and one sack but has been slowed
by a knee injury.
Oaklands defense in general has struggled despite
McKenzies efforts to revamp the unit.
The Raiders head into Sundays home game at Cleveland
ranked 22nd in total defense and 29th against the run.
Theyre last in third-down efficiency and have just six sacks
only three by defensive linemen.
Losing Woodley is just the latest setback for a defense
that appeared to be much improved coming out of training
camp.
C. J. Wilson and Benson Mayowa will likely split play-
ing time while filling in for Woodley. Wilson leads the
Raiders with two sacks.
More guys are going to get an opportunity, defensive
coordinator Jason Tarver said. Some of them havent been
able to show what they can do yet. Its a good opportunity
for them.
Benson went in and did some good things. He set edges
well, he affected the quarterback some in that game, so it
was good to see him step up into that role.
How long Woodley who inked a two-year deal worth
$12 million is out is uncertain, though Sparanos tone
and demeanor made it sound as if the veteran defender will be

PHILADELPHIA School officials on
Thursday canceled the remaining two foot-
ball games at a suburban Philadelphia high
school after concluding rookie players had
been subjected to humiliating and inappro-
priate initiation rites.
The pre-season hazing at Central Bucks
High School West in Doylestown included a
requirement that rookies grab another play-
ers genitals while fully clothed, an initia-
tion that was carried out in front of most
team members, Superintendent David
Weitzel said.
Our inquiry determined that students new
to the team were expected to participate in
several initiations that were both humiliat-
ing and inappropriate, Weitzel wrote in a
letter to the school district community.
I want to be clear that these activities did
not result in physical harm, but were not
harmless, he said.
All varsity and junior varsity coaches
were also suspended pending further inves-
tigation, the superintendent said, citing the
failure of staff to properly supervise team
activities. Police said they would investi-
gate whether any of the activity was crimi-
nal.
Central Bucks Regional Police
Department Chief James Donnelly said the
schools principal had told him that one of
the initiation rites involved placing towels
over players heads and leading them into
the shower. He said players referred to the
practice as waterboarding, but that he did-
nt view it as fitting the definition.
Waterboarding is a form of torture in which
water is poured over a cloth placed on a vic-
tims face to simulate drowning.
The schools storied football program
includes a run of four state titles in the
1990s, when it regularly appeared in USA
Todays national Top 10 rankings.
Its alumni include Cleveland Browns head
coach Mike Pettine Jr. and two of his assis-
tants. Pettines father built the schools
football dynasty with a 327-42-4 record
from 1967-1999. The schools most famous
dropout is Alecia Moore, better known as
the singer Pink.
The football team has struggled more
recently, and is 2-6 this year. It was sched-
uled to play rival Central Bucks East in a
homecoming matchup Friday night.
Earlier this month, the football season at
Sayreville War Memorial High School in
neighboring New Jersey was canceled over a
hazing investigation that resulted in the
suspension of five coaches and criminal
charges against seven players.
In Pennsylvania, the school superintend-
ent said hazing allegations were first report-
ed to the district on Oct. 14.
The district code of student conduct has
banned hazing and similar activities for the
past decade, and Weitzel apologized to those
players who were subjected to the demean-
ing actions of fellow players who should
have served as role models.
Weitzel said the majority of players were
in violation through their offensive and
disrespectful actions in what were supposed
to be pre-season team-building activities.
Players who did not participate, but wit-
nessed the activities and failed to report
them, also violated the student code, he
said.
Appropriate team-building activities
cannot be permitted to spiral out of control
and become hazing, Weitzel said.

CHICAGO The federal judge overseeing
a first-of-its-kind head injury settlement
with the NCAA expressed serious concerns
Thursday about some terms and the vast
scope of the $75 million deal that currently
encompasses all college athletes going back
decades.
Facing NCAA and plaintiffs attorneys
who crafted the deal, U. S. District Judge
John Lee wondered why sports like rifle
teams, golf and swimming would be covered
by the proposed agreement along with foot-
ball, hockey, soccer and other contact
sports.
Im going to assume there arent a lot of
risks of concussions in rifling, Lee said dur-
ing a hearing on a motion to give the deal
preliminary approval.
He added later: The settlement, as its con-
stituted, includes every athlete for all time.
After questioning lawyers for 2 1/2 hours,
Lee adjourned without saying when he might
rule. He could give the preliminary thumbs
up while ordering sweeping changes to the
settlement as a condition of final approval.
Under the settlement, NCAA would tough-
en return-to-play rules for players who
receive head blows. It creates a $70 million
fund to test thousands of current and former
athletes for brain trauma, and it sets aside $5
million for research. The number of athletes
who may require testing to learn if they suf-
fered long-term damage runs into the tens of
thousands, plaintiffs filings say. They cite
NCAA figures that from 2004 to 2009 alone,
29, 225 athletes suffered concussions.
Lee also questioned the most contentious
provision of the settlement: Severely con-
cussed athletes would forfeit all rights to sue
the NCAA as a group for a single, block-
buster damages payout. They could still sue,
but only as individuals.
Lee alluded to critics who say that provi-
sion lets the NCAA off the hook, ensuring
theyll never have to pay significant dam-
ages. He asked the NCAAs lead attorney
whether individual suits might only result in
paltry payouts of a several thousand dollars.
The attorney, Mark Mester, insisted indi-
vidual suits could, result in notable cash
awards.
Youre looking at six or seven figures . . .
for someone who has valid claims, he said.

Partially torn biceps have an average recovery time of
three to four weeks. Full tears requiring surgery require three
to four months.
Defensively throughout this year its been next man up
and thats what it is, Tarver said. Were going to have to
roll guys (in) but the physicality, somebodys going to
have to step up. Well see who that is.
Mayowa had been getting work in as a backup to Tuck
before sliding to defensive end when Woodley went out
against the Cardinals. He was in on 34 defensive plays
against Arizona and another 15 on special teams.
Thats more snaps than Ive ever had, Mayowa said. I
knew I was going to take more snaps but I didnt know I was
going to take that many. Unfortunately, Woodley went
down so I had to step up.
Sparano expects to use a rotation of players in Woodleys
place.
Notes : With Khalif Barnes back at practice this week,
the Raiders have been experimenting with Menelik Watson
at left tackle. Watson, a second-round draft pick in 2013,
started the previous two games at right tackle while Barnes
recovered from a quad injury. . . . CB Carlos Rogers (knee)

NCAA asks court to end Penn State legal battle
HARRISBURG, Pa. The NCAA wants the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court to end litigation over the 2012 consent
decree with Penn State over the schools handling of the
Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Pennlive. com reported Thursday the NCAA asks the jus-
tices in a recent court filing to order a lower court to stop the
case, now set for trial in January. The NCAA argues that a
Commonwealth Court judge shouldnt have kept the case
alive. Pennlive. com says state Treasurer Rob McCord and
state Sen. Jake Corman, plaintiffs in the case, want the
high court to stay out of it.
The consent decree includes a $60 million fine and the
temporary loss of scholarships and postseason eligibility.
Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, is in prison,
convicted of sexual abuse of 10 boys.
Sports brief
when Menlo went on a 5-1 run with help from an excuse-me by
Vandermeer, who bumped a pass that accidently fell over the
net and somehow found court on the Gators side in the vacated
front corner.
But the little bit of luck was backed up by a whole lot of out-
right good play by the Knights. They ran their lead to 22-17
and Merten hit two creative shots to force game point. The
first was a two-handed bump over net that exacted the back
corner. The next saw Merten take on a double block from the
right side in which she painted the ball over the Gators front
line for a score. Vandermeer then finished off the set with a
textbook left-side kill.
Sacred Heart Prep (2-5, 15-11) was brawling every step of
the way though. Gators outside hitter Victoria Garrick taped
up her thumb to play her first game in a week after tearing a
ligament.
She played like a champion tonight, Sacred Heart Prep
head coach Ali Tyson said. She is a kid who is willing to do
everything for the team.
Garrick shared the team-high of nine kills with Kendall
Reich, and this on the heels of Sacred Heart Prep installing a
5-1 offense just the previous day in practice. In Game 3, the
two worked well across the front line with sophomore middle
Sammy Phillips, who tabbed two of her three match blocks in
the set to help catalyze another dramatic back-and-forth duel.
I think, honestly, something just came out of us this match
and we were not going to let the ball hit the floor, Garrick
said. I think maybe serve receive wise, they overpowered us
in that area. But I thought defensively, we won that match.
Merten had something to say about Garricks claim with the
defensive play of the game though. With Menlo leading by a
point early in Game 3, Sacred Heart Prep looked to tie it with a
drop shot, but Merten raced out of the back row to produce an
acrobatic diving dig. But the play didnt end there, and as Sacred
Heart Prep returned the ball, Merten sprang to her feet to get
Menlo right back in system with a perfect set for Vandermeer to
prolong the rally. Menlo eventually won the point on one of
Sacred Heart Preps 10 hitting errors in the match.
The Knights forced match point at 24-21, but the Gators
would not go quietly, rallying back to within a point at 24-23
before Menlo took a timeout to regroup.
In the huddle we were talking about games weve all been
in where you lose the first two, you come back to win the sec-
ond two and you win it, Garrick said. And that was our hope
but obviously it didnt pay off.
The match ended on a net violation by Sacred Heart Prep.
Tyson said she was pleased with her teams performance,
especially considering Garrick was playing through an
injury, as well as senior middle Ara Peterson having been
injured for the past five weeks due to sustaining a concussion
during practice in September.
I walked into the locker room and said: Ladies, I cant
stop smiling. Its the best Ive seen us play all season. That
is a high level of athletics. And its a very respectable team.
Menlo is such a good team and a huge rivalry, Tyson said.
Since losing seven straight heading into league play,
Menlo has since won 10 of its last 12.
We started off with a tough schedule, Cavella said. We
played almost every [West Catholic Athletic League] team
there is. Thats a tough league. And I think it prepared us for
our league. The tournaments we played in prepared us as well.
The tough schedule, the rough start, I look at it as more a
blessing instead of a blemish.
Menlo-Atherton wins No.10 in Bay play
Menlo-Atherton (10-0 in PAL Bay, 20-3 overall) cruised

Seven players on the Royals 25-

with other teams. Of the most fre-
quent visitors, Josh Willingham has
hit .352 with five homers in 16
games and Omar Infante has batted
.307 in 19 games, STATS said.
Among the pitchers, Guthrie did
fine in two starts and Jason Frasor
made two relief appearances.
Cain played one game at the stadi-
um in 2010 when he was with
Milwaukee. The AL Championship
Series MVP practiced with coach
Rusty Kuntz to gauge the bounces.
You have no idea of where its
going, Cain said.
Good luck, Giants designated hitter
Michael Morse said.
Its a big park; right field is
tricky. The wind does a lot of different
things in the outfield, so our guys are
used to it, he said. Its tough. Its
tough out there. But everybodys a
professional. I dont think it will be
a factor.
One thing will change, for sure.
With no designated hitter in the NL
park, Morse and Kansas Citys Billy
Butler will lose their spots Morse
drove in a run during a 7-1 win in the
opener, while Butler already has three
hits and a pair of RBIs.
With tight foul ground, gusts that
whip off the bay, twilight starts and
pesky seagulls that hover around in
the late innings, a lot of balls
become adventures in San Francisco.
In 2007, Ichiro Suzuki hit the first
inside-the-park home run in an All-
Star game when his shot off the
right-field wall took a weird ricochet.
There have been nine inside-the-

Gehrig and Casey Stengel are on the
list, and Mule Haas of the
Philadelphia Athletics hit the last
one.
Plus, postseason is frequently a
weather adventure in the Bay Area.
Players need to pack for all sorts of
conditions short sleeves, hood-
ies, hats and gloves.
During the NLCS, Bochy said the
teams played in the toughest winds of
the season. Right fielder Hunter
Pence had no chance trying to track a
fly ball by St. Louis Kolten Wong
that landed for a triple.
You play this game, you play in a
lot of different ballparks and you find
a way to adjust, Pence said this
week. I think everyones going to
enjoy it.

It showed that he continued to
work in the bullpen, Bochy said.
He had a great session three days
ago, so he showed good command.
He looked comfortable out there.
So I didnt like the score, but I was
glad I was able to get him out there
and get him some work. I know he
has to feel good about that outing.
I know we do, so he could play a
bigger role now if hes healthy.

SAN JOSE Mark Letestu made sure the
Columbus Blue Jackets party would carry
on, redirecting a shot into the net about a
minute after Ryan Johansen had a potential
winning goal waved off.
The visiting Blue Jackets rallied from
behind twice and beat the road-weary San
Jose Sharks 5-4 on Thursday night, with
Letestus goal coming with 21 seconds
remaining.
We made a great play to get the puck to the
point, and I was along the side of the net and
got the redirect, Letestu said. Its a great
victory now but we can spoil it in 24 hours.
Columbus will play the Ducks in Anaheim
on Friday night.
Johansen scored twice and Nick Folignos
power-play goal with just under nine minutes
to play tied it for the Blue Jackets, who were
playing for the first time since losing at
Ottawa on Saturday.
James Wisniewskis shot bounced off Antti
Niemis pads, and Scott Hartnell kicked it
over to Foligno, who had the open shot.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 33 shots for his
99th NHL win, and the Blue Jackets
improved to 4-1-1 in their last six games
against the Sharks.
This is always a hard rink to play in,
Foligno said. We got a broken play, and
when you shoot the puck on goal, anything
can happen.
Foligno was called for goalie interference
on Johansens negated goal, though replays
showed he seemed to be clear of the play.
When I came in to look at it, I was seeing
something completely different, Columbus
coach Todd Richards said. Our guy was off to
the side.
Niemi stopped 23 shots for the Sharks,
who lost their third straight after just com-
pleting an East Coast swing in which they
played five games in eight days.
They were able to spend some time in our
zone, and they were getting pucks to the
net, Niemi said. We need to make the sim-
ple plays, get the puck out of our zone.
Joe Pavelski had two goals, and Logan
Couture and Adam Burish also scored for the
Sharks.
We made too many mistakes that ended up
in the back of our net, Couture said.
Couture intercepted a pass from Columbus
defender Cody Goloubef right in front of the
net and easily beat Bobrovsky to give the
Sharks a 4-3 edge with 11:37 remaining.
Pavelski scored his second of the game
less than two minutes into the third period,
tying it 3-3. He found a seam from the left
side of the crease after taking a pass from Joe
Thornton.

Terra Nova (1-1, 2-4) at
Burlingame (2-0, 6-0), 7 p.m. Friday
The Tigers were trounced by Sacred Heart
Prep last week, 49-28. The Panthers
picked up a 46-30 win over Menlo. Terra
Nova won the last meeting between the two,
48-0 in 2012. The Tigers are averaging
just over four TDs a game, but they havent
stopped anybody all season. They are
allowing nearly 35 points per game this
season. QB Anthony Gordon went over
the 300-yard passing mark for the sixth
time last week with a 333-yard performance
against the Gators. Burlingame weath-
ered a third-quarter rally against Menlo last
week and pulled away in the fourth for the
win. The 30 points allowed was the most
against the Panthers defense this year.
The Panthers rushed for 258 yards last week,
the fifth time in six games they eclipsed the
200-yard rushing mark as a team.
Hillsdale (1-0, 4-2) at
Woodside (1-1, 2-4), 7 p.m. Friday
The Knights denied San Mateo, 17-10.
The Wildcats wilted against Aragon, 19-13.
These teams havent met since
Woodsides 2004 CCS championship sea-
son, when the Wildcats whipped the
Knights, 49-0. Hillsdale scored all 17 of
its points last week in a little more than
three minutes. The Knights scored 10
points off a pair of San Mateo turnovers.
The 10 points allowed was a season low for
Hillsdale. Woodside was held under 15
points for the third time this season.
Woodside went over the 300-yard mark on
offense, but also had three turnovers. The
Wildcats rushed for 179 yards last week, the
second-highest output of the season.
San Mateo (0-2, 4-2) at
South City (1-1, 1-5), 7 p.m. Friday
The Bearcats were beaten by cross-town
rival Hillsdale, 17-10, last week. The
Warriors welcomed their first win of the sea-
son with stunning 30-27 victory over Half
Moon Bay. This is the first meeting
between these two since 2010, a 35-20
South City win. San Mateo, which went
4-0 during non league, dropped its second
straight Ocean Division game. The
Bearcats averaged 35 points during their
four wins. In their two losses, they are aver-
aging 15. South City scored a season
high 30 points last week. In their two
league games, the Warriors are averaging 26
points per game, second-best in the Ocean
Division.
Menlo-Atherton (1-1, 2-4) at
Menlo School (0-1, 3-3), 3 p.m. Friday
The Bear bagged their first Bay Division
win of the season with a 21-14 win over
Sequoia. The Knights were knocked down
by Burlingame, 46-30. M-A beat Menlo
49-28 in 2013. The 14 points allowed
last week were a season low for the Bears.
The 21 points scored tied a season high.
M-A had a season-high when it came to
offensive output. QB Robby Beardsley
passed for more than 150 yards for the sec-
ond time this season and the first since
the opener finishing with 193. The run
game ground out a season-high 246 yards.
Menlo committed nine turnovers in the
loss to the Panthers. The Knights
allowed 46 points or more in all three of
their losses this season.
Kings Academy (1-0, 5-1) at
Mills (0-2, 4-2), 7 p.m. Friday
The Knights notched a 42-0 win over El
Camino last week. The Vikings were van-
quished by Jefferson, 41-27. Kings
Academy handed Mills a 19-15 loss in
2013. Kings Academy leads the Lake
Division in scoring, averaging 33 points a
game this season. The Knights went over
the 300-yard rushing mark for the second
week in a row, finishing with 309 yards
rushing. They also tied a season high for
TDs scored on the ground with five. After
starting the season 4-0, Mills has lost their
last two games, allowing an average of 41. 5
points in two league losses.
Sacred Heart Prep (1-0, 6-0) at
Sequoia (0-2, 2-4), 7 p.m. Friday
The Gators galloped away from Terra Nova
last week, 49-28. The Cherokees were
contained 21-14 by Menlo-Atherton.
SHP beat Sequoia 33-3 last year. SHP saw
a 35-7 lead dwindle to a touchdown, 35-28,
before scoring a pair of TDs in the fourth
quarter. The Gators looked to be a more
dangerous team with the addition of LB/RB
Ben Burr-Kirven. He had two sacks to go
along with several tackles on defense and
offensively, he scored on runs of 47 and 80
yards in the fourth quarter, finishing with
142 yards on just four carries. The 14
points scored last week was a season low for
Sequoia. The 21 points allowed was also
a season low for the Cherokees.
Carlmont (1-1, 3-3) at
Jefferson (1-0, 4-2), 7 p.m. Friday
The Scots were stopped last week by
Capuchino, 27-14. The Indians cruised to
a 41-27 win over Mills. Carlmont won
last years matchup, 36-20. Carlmont
has lost three of its last four. Jefferson
cracked the 40-point mark for the third week
in a row. Jefferson threw for a season
high 312 yards last week. Indians RB
David Benjamin rushed for 104 yards and a
pair of TDs on just 13 carries. Jefferson
WR Johnny Paramore caught seven passes
for 154 yards and Jerrill De La Cruz grabbed
eight balls for 107 yards and a score.
El Camino (0-2, 2-4) at
Capuchino (1-0, 3-3), 7 p.m. Friday
The Colts were crushed 42-0 by Kings
Academy last week. The Mustangs
mauled Carlmont, 27-14. El Camino beat
Kings Academy 42-20 in 2013. El
Camino has lost three in a row, having been
shut out twice in three weeks and three times
overall this season. Over the last three
games, the Colts have scored a total of six
points. They have been outscored 130-6
over the last three weeks. The 27 points
scored was the second-highest output on the
season for Capuchino.
Riordan 1-2, 1-5) at
Serra (3-0, 4-2), 1 p.m. Saturday
The Crusaders were crushed 33-7 by Valley
Christian last week. The Padres pulled out
a tough 14-2 win over St. Francis. Serra
pounded Riordan in 2013, 56-6. Riordan
had a streak of three straight 200-yard rush-
ing games end last week when it finished
with just 96 against the Warriors. The
Crusaders managed just 182 yards of offense
last week, their second-lowest output of the
season. Serra managed only 240 yards of
offense against the Lancers. In just his
second varsity start, Padres QB Hunter
Bishop passed for 163 yards on 14 of 22
passing. He threw for just 37 yards in his
debut two weeks ago in a 32-20 win over St.
Ignatius.
The rest
(Shane Acton) is a three-year varsity starter
and he can make plays and you have to
assign a (defensive) player to him.
The scrum is something [their players]
have been running since they were freshmen
and its very hard to simulate in practice.
The first time you see it from a team that actu-
ally runs it, its like, Wow. It always takes a
while to adjust to.
The Aragon defense should be buoyed by
the return of linebacker Bubba Tongamoa,
who has been sidelined for the last month
with a dislocated elbow suffered in the Dons
19-0 win over El Camino in Week 2.
Even with one of his best players back,
Sell knows it will take a lot more than the
addition of one player to slow down the
Cougars offense.
Alot of times, you know where [the play is]
going, its just so hard to stop, Sell said. They
get so many guys at the point of attack its
super frustrating trying to stop that offense.
Half Moon Bay is averaging 37.8 points per
game for the season, but has seen that number
fall to an average of 28 points in its first two
Ocean Division games.
Aragon comes into the contest with a perfect
6-0 overall record and opened Ocean Division
play with a tough 19-13 win over Woodside last
week.
We scored three touchdown passes, pretty
long ones (against Woodside), Sell said. We
struggled to run the ball inside, (but) our quarter-
back (Billy Mason) is getting better and better
every week. Weve ridden that.
The Cougars had won their first five games of
the season and opened league play two weeks
ago with a 29-20 win over San Mateo. Half
Moon Bay was stunned last week, however,
dropping a 30-27 decision to South City, the
Warriors first win of the year. An Aragon win
would all but eliminate Half Moon Bay from the
Ocean Division race, but a Cougars win could
open the way for a wild finish to the regular sea-
son, with all six teams in the league still having
a shot at a league crown.

GOTW
By Jake Coyle
Lynn Shelton is a curious, Pacific
Northwest-bred hybrid of high-concept and
low production value.
She has made a specialty out of decon-
structing sitcom-y setups: two pals trying
to follow through on a dare to make a gay
porno (Humpday); a man betwixt two
interested sisters, one of them a lesbian, in
a remote cabin (Your Sisters Sister).
Instead of heightening the broad potential
of such stories, she plays them naturally,
usually with improvised dialogue and an un-
stylized, micro-budget intimacy.
Shes something like the movies answer
to the organic food movement: a farm-fresh
producer of comfort food.
In Laggies, Shelton has brought her
light, heartfelt touch to her most familiar,
movie-ready plot a version of the back-
to-school comedy rendered not with Rodney
Dangerfield antics but the soul-searching of
a direction-less 28-year-old Seattleite (Keira
Knightley).

life procrastinating and earning a graduate

SAN FRANCISCO John Steinbecks
heirs say a literary agency is wrongly cutting
them out of negotiations over movie deals
for the late Nobel Prize-winning authors
books.
Steinbecks surviving son, Thomas
Steinbeck, and the wife of another son,
Nancy Steinbeck, filed a petition Oct. 10
with the California Labor Commission
claiming the RSWG Literary Agency and
agent Geoffrey Sanford were negotiating
Hollywood deals without consulting them.
They also allege that the agency isnt
licensed in California to negotiate deals and
that none of its agents are lawyers with
active licenses. The petition alleges that
only a licensed agency or an active lawyer
can license Steinbecks works to others.
The petition says that Thomas Steinbeck
first became aware through news media that
that his fathers books East of Eden and
The Grapes of Wrath were being considered
for new movie treatment. The petition says
that Thomas Steinbeck either owns or con-
trols 66.6 percent of domestic rights to his
fathers works.
Its the latest chapter in a 14-year legal tus-
sle over control of Steinbecks works.
The agencys lawyer told the Monterey
Herald that Thomas Steinbeck and Nancy
Steinbeck gave up control over Steinbecks
works as part of a 1983 legal settlement.

spinning signs to advertise his accounting
business. When her careerist, bridezilla
friend (Ellie Kemper) gets married and her
boyfriend proposes, Megans arrested
development turns into a crisis.
On a run to the grocery store, she meets
16-year-ol d Anni ka (Chl oe Grace
Moretz), who gets her to buy beer for her
friends. They hit it off partly because
t hei r mat uri t y l evel i s about equal .
Instead of going to the self-help seminar
her boyfri end t hi nks shes at t endi ng,
Megan crashes with Annika, becoming
enmeshed in her group of teenage friends
and attending high-school parties.
Annika, too, is a little lost, her mom hav-
ing abandoned her and her father (Sam
Rockwell), a divorce attorney who suspi-
ciously observes the arrival of her daugh-
ters clearly older new friend at their subur-
ban split-level. Returning to the stage in
life where she became stunted, Megan in
a tail spin of impulsiveness begins to
figure herself out.
Man-child movies have long been com-
monplace for members of the opposite sex,
so Laggies, penned by Andrea Seigel, is a
welcome twist, one with more than a little
in common with Bridesmaids. The famil-
iar notes the wacky friend, the inevitable
prom scene to Sheltons film keep it
from ever finding the kind of honesty its
character crave.
Laggies is really a film about people
looking for genuine connection outside of
traditional roles. Just as the film doesnt
want to be only an implausible romp, its
characters a slacker fleeing stereotypical
marriage, a lonely single-father, a teenager
who wants anything at all from her mom
want the confidence to break free of conven-
tion.
Sheltons movies can have an interesting
schizophrenia, feeling both too contrived
and not structured enough. Laggies is eas-
ily her largest, most scripted film yet, a
transition that feels perfectly smooth. Her
ability to coax unadorned performances
from actors is her most obvious skill, and it
results here with a fine Knightley as a rec-
ognizable kind of selfishly meandering
mess, who probably deserves a more critical
eye than this movie is willing to give her.
But its Moretz and Rockwell who give
Laggies its charm. A former child star
(Hugo, Kick Ass), Moretz has a warm
poise beyond her years that radiates
through the film and suggests she may be
becoming into an actress of considerable
talent.
The off-kilter energy of Rockwell, look-
ing very much the sure-handed veteran,
gives the movie a happy jolt. Laggies is
never more fun than when he calls Megan
into his office, shiftily cross-examining
her. In another such movie, the father would
be blissfully unaware of the age differential.
Here, he punctures the fiction in a heartbeat,
leading the movie somewhere else.
Laggies, an A24 release, is rated R by
the Motion Picture Association of America
for language, some sexual material and teen
partying. Running time: 99 minutes. Three
stars out of four.

The Master Sinfonia brought the greatest
anticlimax in the concert repertoire to its per-
formance at Valley Presbyterian Church in
Portola Valley Saturday.
After conductor David Ramadanoff led
four minutes of the most majestic and
pompous orchestral throat-clearing that
ever began a classical piano concerto, the
pregnant silence was broken by soloist
Daniel Glover poking out, with two forefin-
gers, the main theme: the simple tune of
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
The piece was Ernst von Dohnnyis
Variations on a Nursery Song, probably the
silliest concerto in the repertoire. The intro-
ductions over, the composer takes his theme
to a wild series of fancy dress balls, from a
waltz to a march to a slow passacaglia to a
mighty fugue, mutating the theme to unrec-
ognizability, with a final return to plain
clothes.
The performers were winningly engaged
with this work. The music
rang out clearly, the
instruments from lush
strings to buzzing bas-
soons making each varia-
tion distinct and compre-
hensible. Though this is
an amateur orchestra,
weak spots were gratify-
ingly few. Glovers solid,
plainly-spoken pianism
turned out to be the perfect
deadpan approach for the humor of the work.
The scores comic pomposities were never
allowed to wrench it out of shape.
The concert featured another small but
florid piano concerto that also benefited from
this cool approach, Frdric Chopins
Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise
Brilliante. This consists of an slow, intro-
spective piano solo followed by a fast,
extraverted concerted piece with orchestra.
Straight-ahead run-throughs are not custom-
ary in Chopin, but here they made for a satis-
fying outcome.
The most interesting
work on the program was
the first full performance
of a work commissioned
by the orchestra, Jeremy
Cavaterras Monterey
Suite. I had heard the
Sinfonia play the final
movement of this suite,
the surging and dramatic
Marine Safari and Whale
Watch, last year, and I
was sure I had to come back to hear the whole
thing.
The Monterey Suite consists of five
movements of scene-painting of the area.
The music is tonal and attractive. It conveys
imagery vividly without lushness or overt
film-style picture-painting. It uses the
orchestra imaginatively. The first two move-
ments, running together and depicting the
geography and history of the peninsula, have
something of a rugged Americana style with
striking passages for winds, brass and even a
string quartet drawn from the orchestra.
The third movement portrays the Monterey
Bay Aquarium with harp, celesta, bells, twirls
from the woodwinds and other sounds making
a rich post-romantic sound akin to the early
ballets of Ravel or Albert Roussel.
The most impressive movement was
Steinbeck Country, another wide country-
side portrait. Though it doesnt tell a narra-
tive story, the movement includes musical
references to a number of Steinbeck works.
There is a solo for muted trombone that con-
ductor Ramadanoff, introducing the work,
called bluesy. It sounded to me more like a
Big Band sound and, indeed, Cavaterra
explains that its meant to evoke Tommy
Dorsey, as the kind of urban popular music
that would have been heard around Cannery
Row. Theres also a quote from Leonard
Rosenmans music for the movie of East of
Eden.
Master Sinfonia is not a professional
orchestra, and it had some challenges here
and there. Overall, though, the music was
well chosen for its strengths, and it conveyed
a pleasant and enjoyable program.

Hillbarn takes hilarious
journey of 39 Steps
By Judy Richter
A bored Canadians decision to
go to the theater during a visit to
London in 1935 sets off a wild
chase that unfolds in The 39
Steps at Hillbarn Theatre.
Patrick Barlow adapted this
comedy from the film by Alfred
Hitchcock and a novel by John
Buchan.
This minimalist production
uses only four actors. Brad
Satterwhite plays the debonair
hero, Richard Hannay, while
Elspeth Noble plays three female
characters.
The dozens of other characters
are played by Ross Neuenfeldt and
Russell Ward, called Clowns 1 and
2.
As Ri chard wat ches t he show
from a box, a mys t eri ous
woman j oi ns hi m before shot s
ri ng out . They fl ee t o hi s fl at ,
where she t el l s hi m t hat a spy
pl ot t hreat ens t he count ry. She
gi ves hi m some basi c det ai l s
before bei ng st abbed.
Suspected of her murder and
eager to save the country, Richard
heads for the master spys home
in Scotland. Along the way, he
barely eludes an assortment of
police and acquires an unwitting
travel companion and eventual
love interest, Pamela (Noble).
Directed by Hunt Burdick, this
production has numerous hilari-
ous moments. Many of them
come from quick character
changes some with only a
switch of hats by the Clowns,
aided by costumer Mae Heagerty-
Matos.
Steve Nybergs set uses few
stage pieces, many on wheels, to
facilitate scene changes.
On the other hand, the sound
design by Alan Chang sometimes
covers dialogue. This is especial-
ly problematic with the Clowns
when the action moves to
Scotland, where the thick accents
are already hard to understand.
Overall, though, its a fun show.
Satterwhite and Noble are stand-
outs in the cast.
Hillbarn patrons will be pleased
to know that construction has
begun to expand the restrooms
and upgrade the offices and lobby.
Dan Demers, executive artistic
director, said in his pre-curtain
speech that this work is expected
to be completed in about two
weeks. That would be well before
the next show, White
Christmas, begins Dec. 4.
In the meantime, Hillbarn has
set up five portable toilets plus
washing stations and canopies in
the courtyard. Patrons may enter
the facility from the back parking
lot.
The 39 Steps will continue at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E.
Hillsdale Blvd. , Foster City,
through Nov. 2. For tickets and
information call (650) 349-6411

In the video-game world, Shinji
Mikamis name has the same cachet
that George Romero and Wes
Craven have among moviegoers.
Mikami created Resident Evil,
the 1996 classic usually credited as
the first survival horror game.
He abandoned the series after
2005s masterly Resident Evil 4,
and it hasnt been the same since,
rejecting jittery terror for a more
explosive Hollywood blockbuster
approach. Mikami fans have been
waiting a long time for a follow-up
and The Evil Within (Bethesda
Softworks, for the Xbox One,
Playstation 4, Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3, PC, $59.95) will
scratch their survival horror itch.
The story begins with three cops
investigating the scene of a mass
murder, which quickly turns into
something even more disturbing.
Your character, a detective named
Sebastian Castellanos, soon finds
himself hanging upside down in a
slaughterhouse while a chain saw-
wielding behemoth goes about his
business.
It only gets weirder. Sure, the
hordes of shuffling, moaning zom-
bies will look familiar to Resident
Evil fans. And yes, the girl with
stringy black hair who walks like a
spider evokes the Japanese horror
boom of the last decade. But by the
time you find yourself indulging in
a little recreational brain surgery,
youll find yourself wondering what
fresh hell is around the next corner.
Without giving too much away,
Mikami has created a world ruled by
nightmare logic, where a door in a
grungy insane asylum leads to a
field filled with sunflowers. Youre
equipped with a few projectile
weapons a revolver, a shotgun, a
crossbow but ammunition is in
very short supply. So you might be
tempted to use that ax you found
but its only good for one swing.
Most of the undead enemies
wont go down unless shot in the
head, and even then youll proba-
bly need three or four bullets to kill
them. And some monsters cant be
killed at all, which is a grim thing
to realize after youve unloaded
every weapon in your inventory.
In short, this game is hard. Even
when playing on its casual set-
ting, and armed with several pages
of tips provided by Bethesda, I
often found it frustrating. You will
die frequently, so your ultimate sur-
vival will depend greatly on your
tolerance for watching sluggish
reloading screens.
The Evil Within often feels like
a game that could have come out 10
years ago: The controls are clunky,
Sebastian moves like hes wading
through molasses, and there are far
too many graphical glitches that
cant just be attributed to the heros
increasing insanity.
Evil Within game is a nightmarish head trip

work with the district to make improve-
ments and clarifications of contract lan-
guage for our members, as well as maintain-
ing our benefits and securing a modest
salary increase.
However, it is important to note that this
is not a completely closed contract.
We will be reopening negotiations for
2015-16 in the areas of salary, health and
welfare benefits, and one additional article
chosen by each side, she wrote.
The new contract also includes mainte-
nance of fully-paid medical, dental and
vision benefits at a cost of 0. 88 percent
increase total compensation. This has an
estimated cost increase of $457, 000 for
2014-15 specific to the SDTA bargaining
unit and $655, 000 total for all bargaining
units for 2014-15.
The salary schedule increase will have an
estimated cost increase of $522, 000 per 1
percent increase specific to the SDTA, for a
total of $1. 004 million. Districtwide, the
cost of a 1 percent salary increase to all bar-
gaining units is $748, 000, for a total cost
increase of $1. 496 million.
The district has multiple objectives when
it comes time to negotiating a union con-
tract. On the one hand, board President
Allen Weiner said the district wants to make
sure that its excellent teachers are rewarded
fairly for the outstanding work they do, but
on the other hand, the district wants to con-
tinue to prudently manage its financial
resources.
Sometimes, of course, there can be a ten-
sion between those goals, which is why
contract negotiations are hard, he wrote in
an email. I appreciate the fact that both
sides in this negotiation appeared to recog-
nize the importance of both of those objec-
tives and I am pleased that we have reached
agreement on a contract that represents a
good balance between our shared interest in
paying our teachers fairly and protecting
the financial well-being of the district.

RAISES
The organization, formerly known as
Christmas in April, celebrated its silver
anniversary in early October and has since
worked on a total of 224 projects. The
organi zat i on repai rs home on t he l ast
Saturday of April, National Rebuilding
Day.
The organization started as a small grass-
roots movement by the Junior League of
Pal o Al t o Mi d-Peni nsul a aft er Pat t y
Johnson, founder of t he ori gi nal
Christmas in April in Midland, Texas, gave
a presentation about poverty and home-
lessness in the Bay Area November 1989.
The first National Rebuilding Day took
place the following spring and 15 homes
were renovated that year. The Peninsulas
group was originally called Christmas in
April as well, but has since changed the
name.
The organization continues to operate on
a collaborative level, soliciting help from
many corporations and volunteer groups.
The volunteers are the core of the program
and 2, 000 volunteers came together for
National Rebuilding Day in 20102. Many
volunteers, Aguayo said, reach out to the
organization so they can help build, paint
and rebuild homes and community centers.
Its a very touching experience for vol-
unteers, she said.
She has seen volunteer groups ranging
from Genentech to youth church groups.
There are many repeat volunteers, she
said.
In addition to National Rebuilding Day,
the organization has added Team Build,
Youth Assisting Seniors and Safe at Home
repair programs that operate year-round.
The Safe at Home repair program offer
minor repairs while National Rebuilding
Day offers major repairs, such as roof
replacement projects and renovations.
The program helps homeowners living in
San Mateo County, Sunnyvale, Mountain
View, Los Altos and Palo Alto. Anyone who
has the need can apply, Aguayo said.

HELP
By Baba Ahmed
BAMAKO, Mali Mali reported its first
case of Ebola late Thursday, marking a major
setback for West African efforts to contain
the deadly virus that now has affected six
countries in the region and left nearly 5,000
dead.
Health Minister Ousmane Kone made the
announcement on Malian television, saying
that the patient was a 2-year-old girl who had
come from neighboring Guinea, where the
Ebola epidemic began last December.
The child was tested for the virus
Wednesday at a hospital in the Malian town
of Kayes, which is about 375 miles (600
kilometers) from the capital of Bamako.
The sick child and the people who were in
contact with her in Kayes were immediately
identified and taken care of, Kone said.
Ebola is spread through direct contact
with the bodily fluids of sick people, and
caregivers and health workers have borne
the brunt of the crisis. Protocol calls for
those who have been exposed to be isolated
and monitored for symptoms for up to 21
days.
Health officials have long viewed Mali as
one of the most vulnerable to Ebolas spread
as the nation borders Guinea one of the
hardest-hit countries and Senegal.
The World Health Organization said
Wednesday that Ebola now has killed at least
4,877 people and infected 9,936 across West
Africa. Nearly all the cases and deaths,
though, have occurred in three countries
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Like the reported case in Mali, neighbor-
ing Senegal also had an imported case from
Guinea. Senegal and Nigeria, though, both
have now been declared Ebola-free after no
new cases emerged after 42 days.
Also Thursday, dozens of people quaran-
tined for Ebola monitoring in western
Liberia were threatening to break out of iso-
lation because they have no food, Liberian
state radio reported.
Forty-three people were put in quarantine
after four people died of Ebola in Jenewonda,
a town near the Sierra Leonean border. The
U.N. World Food Program said it was work-
ing to help those in isolation.
WFP in Liberia heard about this commu-
nity being isolated only two days ago via the
radio and staff immediately began organiz-
ing a mission to bring food to the quaran-
tined people, said spokesman Alexis
Masciarelli in an email to the Associated
Press.
Meanwhile, the head of the U.N. Mission
for Ebola Emergency Response, Anthony
Banbury, told a news conference Thursday in
Sierra Leones capital that we are working
to put this fire under control.
An internal U. N. World Health
Organization report obtained by the
Associated Press blames a series of blunders
for allowing the epidemic to spiral out of
control, notably the organizations own
failure to see that conditions for explosive
spread were present right at the start.

pawnbrokers and similar uses being
within 1, 000 feet of one another to
2, 000 feet. Payday lending is lending
transactions in which a customer gives
the lender a post-dated check in
exchange for cash from the lender.
Ultimately, the City Council voted
unanimously to stick with the 1, 000
feet number as a first step and because
of staff guidance.
We will watch this situation closely
knowing we can amend the language,
said Councilman Mark Addiego.
Others like Vice Mayor Rich
Garbarino noted that this is a great
first step and said unfortunately these
predators cant be banned outright.
Alex Greenwood, Economic and
Community Development director,
explained that a city study showed the
1, 000 feet limitation radius would be
an adequate layout. The city did look at
the distance carefully and didnt think
it was necessary to do 2, 000 feet, city
officials said.
Still, South San Francisco students
part of the Daly City-based branch of
the group that advocates for policy
changes and helped develop the ordi-
nance, wanted more. Gabriel
Hernandez, a student with the group
described to the council how two years
ago his mom took out a payday loan
and it took her six months to pay off
the loans. The 1, 000 feet distance
would still make it convenient for peo-
ple looking to take out the loans, he
said. The amendment needs to have the
strongest teeth possible, others agree.
Someone unaware of the danger see
it as a perfect way to solve any and all
their problems, said student Matt
Shehstras. You must have the
strongest policy possible to stop
them from coming.
Overall, the Leadership Institutes
call to the council was positive, said
Fahad Qurashi, senior director of the
institutes San Mateo County pro-
grams.
They definitely heard our recom-
mendations, he said. They didnt
answer the question directly why they
couldnt do 2, 000 feet.
The Silicon Valley Community
Foundation also came out to show its
strong support for limiting payday
lenders, but also expressed reserva-
tions about the 1, 000 feet distance
limitation.
If you do not extend this to 2, 000
feet, it wont serve its purpose, said
Rafael Morales, economic security
program officer for the foundation.
There are currently four businesses
in the city that operate as payday
lenders or something similar: SSF
Check Cashing, J&J Check Cashing,
Dolex Dollar Express and Fast Money.
Three of these businesses are located
downtown. Fast Money is located on
El Camino Real, just south of
Westborough Boulevard. Additionally,
there are other alternative loan busi-
nesses in operation downtown, includ-
ing Apoyo Financiero at 481 Grand
Ave. and South City Pawn at 337 Grand
Ave. The amendments expand the
restrictions on check cashing to
encompass alternative loans and
pawnbrokers, according to a staff
report.
The customers check includes the
loan amount as well as any interest and
fees that are charged by the payday
lender. The lender then cashes the cus-
tomers check on the agreed-upon date.
Payday loans tend to be small, short-
term, single-payment loans with very
high interest rates; a typical two-week
loan can carry an interest rate of up to
460 percent when adjusted annually.
These businesses are often labeled as
predatory lenders because their clients
have few alternative finance options
and the interest rates that accompany
their loans can be extraordinarily
high, according to a staff report.
In 2012, the county passed an ordi-
nance which applies to the unincorpo-
rated areas and prohibits payday
lenders from being within a 1, 000-
foot radius of one another and within
500 feet of residences, pawnshops,
liquor stores and any bank or credit
union.
Other stipulations of the amendment
include limiting these types of busi-
nesses to 2, 500 square feet in size.
Limiting these businesses operation
hours from 7 a. m. -7 p. m. was also
added as a restriction to payday
lenders.

the new principal. The teachers and
the students are the ones who really
feel the absence of a strong leader.
Hopefully, our district leadership can
get it right next time.
In the interim, the district has three
administrators leading the school:
Assistant Principal Jose Reyes, Dean
of Students Mark Zabzdyr and an
administrative lead shared by Vahn
Phayprasert, assistant superintendent
of educational services, on Mondays
and Tuesdays and a interim administra-
tor Maggie OReilly, who served as
interim principal last year, on
Wednesdays through Fridays.
Last year, Martin left the job and
some felt she was intimidated by Luna
and the school board into resigning.
Teachers and parents expressed con-
cern that the administration was mak-
ing for a poor work environment, with
the Millbrae Education Association

Association going so far as to vote no
confidence in Luna. The district did say
it is making an effort to work more
with teachers and staff and recently
sent out a letter to staff highlighting
areas its looking to improve. These
include providing more clarity about
how the board meetings work, more
training for board members, increased
board visibility, implementation of a
climate survey and other strategies.
In terms of the situation with
Magallanes, Petra Kretschmer, physi-
cal education and health teacher at
Taylor for 16 years, says what bothers
her the most is its really hush hush
and that not having a principal at the
beginning of the year is difficult.
Not having a principal is a big
deal, Kretschmer said. Were very
fortunate we have good kids. What
good did the survey do? Theyre hiring
a PR firm to have better communica-
tions with the community. What is our
barometer for incompetence if you
cannot speak to the community and
you have poor communication with
your staff and you cant hire a principal
thats vettable? How then do you still
have your job?
The district hired Magallanes in mid-
July and her contract was effective
Aug. 4, according to a staff report.
The finalized results for last school
years climate survey will be presented
at a board member in the near future,
according to the Oct. 14 letter to staff.

GET FUZZY
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You will be plagued
by emotional uncertainty. Dont get ustered by
the changes going on around you. Get a feel for the
situation by carefully watching what others do and say.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It would be a
good idea to stop trying to direct others to do what
you want. Concentrate on your own future and leave
others to their own devices.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont let other
people take advantage of your good nature. Charity
and helpfulness are admirable qualities, but dont
assume that everyone has your best interest at heart.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) One of your ideas
will pay off. Beware of people who are stretching the
truth in order to persuade you to make a commitment.
Something quite unexpected will come your way.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You will have a better
understanding of what your friends, family or loved
ones want. Relationships will take an intriguing
direction, allowing you greater comfort and freedom.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A sticky situation will
end up being benecial. Take advantage of a change
that allows you to make a positive move. Hesitation
will be the enemy, so act fast.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your emotions will be
close to the surface, making judgment calls difcult.
Deep discussions are best avoided until you feel
levelheaded. Keep situations plain and simple.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont let anger get in
your way. Remaining calm while others are upset
will give you the upper hand, allowing you to get
things done your way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can form a
successful partnership if you engage in serious talks
with people who share your vision and insight. A love
connection will take an interesting turn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone will have trouble
understanding your motives. You will face rm
opposition if the people you are dealing with doubt
your ability to get good results. Prepare to move
forward on your own.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A different career path
will beckon you. Talk to people already moving in
a similar direction. There is a wealth of knowledge
available, so study what is most meaningful to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Its time to take a leap
of faith. Dont let fear or procrastination dominate
you. If you see a professional opportunity, take the
plunge. Over time, you will realize your choice is
perfect for you.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
LESLIE ANNE BONNER
Case Number: 124945
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Leslie Anne Bonner, aka
Lesllie Bonner. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by Frank R. Bonner III in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that Frank R. Bonner III be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 7, 2014
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Coalition airstrikes in
Syria killed over 500
By Elena Becatoros
and Bassem Mroue
MURSITPINAR, Turkey
U. S. -led coalition airstrikes in
Syria have killed more than 500
peopl e si nce t hey began l ast
month, mainly Islamic militants,
activists said Thursday, as fight-
ing flared yet again in the north-
ern Syri an border t own of
Kobani.
Despite the large death toll and
international intervention to aid
Kurdish forces fighting to defend
Kobani, Islamic State forces on
Thursday seized a hilltop over-
l ooki ng t he t own al ong t he
Syri a-Turkey border, act i vi st
said.
To ai d t hei r bret hren, Iraqi
Kurds pledged to send dozens of
fighters over the coming days to
battle alongside Syrian Kurdish
forces in Kobani.
The Bri t ai n-based Syri an
Observatory for Human Rights,
which has a network of activists
on the ground, said 553 people
have been ki l l ed i n ai rst ri kes
si nce t hey began Sept . 23,
including 32 civilians. The civil-
ians included six children and five
women.
The group said it documented
464 deaths among fighters of the
Islamic State group but said the
number could be much higher.
Also, 57 fighters from the al-
Qai da-l i nked Nusra Front were
killed in airstrikes elsewhere in
northern Syria, the Observatory
said.
Many of t he Isl ami c St at e
fighters died in the battle for
Kobani, which the militants have
been trying to seize since mid-
Sept ember. The IS group al so
captured dozens of surrounding
Kurdi sh vi l l ages, compel l i ng
more than 200, 000 people to flee
to neighboring Turkey.
Earl i er t hi s week, t he U. S.
Central Command said its forces
conduct ed more t han 135
airstrikes against the militants in
and around Kobani, killing hun-
dreds of fighters.

Rebel fighters carry their weapons as they run to avoid snipers at the frontline in Aleppo, Syria.
By Jennifer Peltz, Rob
Gillies and Raphael Satter
OTTAWA, Ontario He seemed
lost, did not fit in, had drug
problems, and went more than five
years without seeing his mother.
In recent weeks, he had been liv-
ing at a homeless shelter and had
talked about wanting to go to
Libya or Syria but became
agitated when he couldnt get a
passport.
Aday after Michael Zehaf-Bibeau
launched a deadly attack on
Canadas seat of government, a por-
trait of the 32-year-old Canadian
began to emerge, along with a pos-
sible explanation for what trig-
gered the shooting rampage.
Bob Paulson, commissioner of
the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, said that Zehaf-Bibeau a
recent Muslim convert whose
father was from Libya may have
lashed out in frustration over
delays in obtaining a passport.
I think the passport figured
prominently in his motives. Im
not inside his head, but I think it
was central to what was driving
him, Paulson said.
In what the prime minister
called a terrorist attack, Bibeau
shot a soldier to death at Canadas
national war memorial
Wednesday, then stormed the
Parliament building, where he was
gunned down by the sergeant-at-
arms. Bibeau was armed with what
police said was a lever-action
Winchester rifle, an old-fash-
ioned, relatively slow-firing
weapon.
Canada gunman wanted a passport to go to Mideast
