Officials prep for mail ballot


Elections Office in high gear, pilot program means changes to how voters participate
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Although San Mateo County has


conducted all-mail ballot elections
in the past, it has never been on the
scale it will be for Novembers consolidated election.
This year, 40 jurisdictions in the
county will participate in a pilot
program to conduct their elections
primarily by mail. Its a historic
election that is being done for the

first time in
Californias history. Its also a
test the state is
undertaking to
see
whether
voter
turnout
increases
and
whether
the
Kevin Mullin process will be
less costly.
Its made possible by legislation
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-

authored. Yolo
County, considered rural, is also
participating in
the pilot.
When the pilot
is complete, the
Mark Church state Legislature
will look at the
data and consider whether to push for
all-mail ballot elections in the future.

In San Mateo County, the trend is


that more and more voters prefer to
vote by mail.
Sample ballots have already been
sent out to nearly 340,000 registered voters and starting Monday,
Oct. 5, official vote by mail ballots
with postage paid return envelopes
will be mailed to all registered voters.
And for the first time, ballots
received up to three days after
Election Day will still be counted if

the ballots are postmarked by


Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Currently, the countys Election
Office is undertaking an education
campaign to ensure voters arent
left in the dark come Election Day
when it comes to casting their ballots, said Chief Elections Officer
Mark Church.
To ensure everyones ballot is
counted, the county will allow bal-

Assembly bill touted to replace

Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, and U.S. President Barack Obama share a toast during the luncheon at the
United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Its been three years since redevelopment agencies were dissolved


and California cities lost a longstanding means to fund affordable
housing projects. And although new
laws have been enacted with similar
goals, they may not provide benefits
to local jurisdictions marked by
wealthy populations.
San Mateo County is a region
thats undoubtedly benefited from
the rebounding economy with property prices skyrocketing and many

residents earning wages that far


exceed the national average.
But this astronomical growth has
also contributed to increased
demand on housing and a lack of
affordable options for those who
may not be reaping the same benefits of the tech boom.
This jobs-to-housing imbalance
has prompted county officials and
various cities to consider what can
be done to support low-income
housing while stripped of redevelopment agencies, or RDAs, as a

This Day in History


President Lyndon Johnson signed the
National Foundation on the Arts and the
Humanities Act of 1965, creating the
National
Endowment
for
the
Humanities
and
the
National
Endowment for the Arts; during the signing ceremony, the
president said the measure would create an American Film
Institute.

1965

In 1789, the U.S. War Department established a regular army

HMS Nelson off Malta.
In 1955, a one-act version of the Arthur Miller play A View
From the Bridge opened in New York. (Miller later turned it
into a two-act play.)
In 1962, Canada joined the space age as it launched the
Alouette 1 satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California. The musical My Fair Lady closed on Broadway
after 2,717 performances.

WJBK-TV reports Saturday that he

little damage, but the gas pump was
destroyed. A clerk shut off the pump

The motorist can be heard on the surveillance video at the Center Line station asking: Is that a spider in there?
The video then shows flames erupting

The man darts to safety and later uses

Blackwood figured it was a long shot


that the emu loose in New Hampshire
was his bird, Beatrice.
It wasnt until the Townshend,
Vermont, resident traveled roughly 80
miles to the Henniker-based nonprofit
Wings of the Dawn when he knew for
sure.
Maria Colby, manager of the wildlife
rehabilitation center, said she knew the
emu was Blackwoods as soon as they
were reintroduced Sunday.
The emu moved closer to Blackwood
and rolled its neck toward him, possibly
recognizing him by the jacket he was
wearing, Colby said.
Blackwood says Taft Hill Farm had
lost two other emus about a month ago.
One died after being attacked by another animal and the other was found in a
neighboring town.
Getting Beatrice ready to go home
wasnt easy. Blackwood and a farm
worker struggled a bit to put her into the
trunk of their Prius, with the back seats
folded down for extra space.
The 90-minute ride back to the farm
went smoothly, after they removed a
sock from the emus head, Blackwood
said.
Everything is well, he said.
Beatrice is home.

Redwood City testing


new parking meters
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

New parking meters from two different vendors are coming to downtown Redwood City
in a pilot program on which the city is seeking
input.
On Main Street, 16 parking spaces will feature the new meters during the trial period,
which ends in January. On Bradford Street, 28
parking spaces will be part of the pilot, which
starts Thursday, Oct. 1.
Pricing, however, will remain the same at
$1 an hour in the downtown core and 25 cents
an hour outside the core.
The city will test multi-space pay stations
from two vendors in the core of downtown,
between Stambaugh Street and Middlefield
Road, on Main Street close to City Hall.
On Bradford Street, the city will test multispace pay stations and single-space meters on
downtowns edge, between Arguello and
Winslow streets.
City officials are requesting that the public
complete a survey on the competing meters
ease of use, transaction speed, reliability and
functionality.
Depending on input from the public and city
staff from various departments, the city will
pick a vendor to install new meters in downtown starting in spring of 2016.
This fall, we are implementing a number of
strategies to make it easier for visitors and residents to park in downtown Redwood City.
Our current meter system is outdated and in

need of fresh technology. The parking meter


pilot program will help us better understand
what visitors think about our current options
for new parking meters and guide us toward
the vendor and meter type that best suits the
publics needs, Assistant City Manager
Aaron Aknin wrote in a statement.
The outdated technology Aknin refers to is a
smart parking meter system installed in
2007.
It features no time limits, the ability to pay

Trump proposes tax cuts for all


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK After weeks of vowing to


raise taxes on hedge fund guys and highincome earners, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump unveiled a tax plan
Monday that would cut rates across the board
and reduce the amount paid by wealthiest
Americans and corporations into the U.S.
Treasury.
The plan, which Trump said would provide
major tax relief for middle-income and for
most other Americans, appears certain to
come with a significant price tag that experts
said would likely add to the national debt,
despite Trumps assurances.
There will be a major tax reduction,

U.S.: States pledge


40K-plus troops to
U.N. peacekeeping
By Cara Anna
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS President


Barack Obama on Monday
announced notable steps to upgrade
U.N. peacekeeping, with his administration saying more than 50 countries have pledged to contribute more
than 40,000 new troops and police to
serve in some of the worlds most
volatile areas.
But there was no sign the U.S.,
which pays a quarter of the peacekeeping budget, would put more of
its own troops into the field.
The United States chaired a highlevel meeting to strengthen and
modernize peacekeeping, whose
nearly 125,000 personnel increasingly face threats from extremist
groups while being severely
stretched in personnel and equipment. Deployments to crises can
take several months.

And a series of sexual abuse allegations against peacekeepers has


brought new concerns about a longstanding problem that Obama called
an affront to human decency.
Obamas presence at Mondays
meeting, shortly before his first faceto-face meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of an annual U.N. gathering of
world leaders, was the latest sign of
high-level U.S. interest in the issue.
Putin did not attend the meeting
the only leader of the five permanent
members of the U.N. Security
Council, which approves peacekeeping missions, not to be there.
For months, officials such as the
U.S. militarys top officer and U.S.
Ambassador Samantha Power have
pressed
countries,
especially
European ones, to contribute more.
European countries contributed
more than 40 percent of U.N. peacekeepers two decades ago but now

provide less than 7 percent.
The U.N. has no standing army,
meaning that its up to the U.N.s 193
member states to supply people and
equipment.
Mondays pledges of new troops

and police significantly exceed the


10,000 goal that U.S. officials had
mentioned. In addition, the dozens of
leaders from India, Britain and China
and elsewhere said they would contribute the kinds of more sophisticat-

ed equipment the U.N.s 16 peacekeeping missions say they need:


Special forces, intelligence units,
engineering skills, airlift capacity,
field hospitals and even unarmed
drones.

Key Afghan city falls to Taliban in major government setback


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan The


Taliban captured the strategic northern Afghan city of Kunduz on
Monday in a multi-pronged attack
involving hundreds of fighters, the
first time the insurgents have seized

a major urban area since the 2001


U.S.-led invasion.
The fast-moving assault took military and intelligence agencies by surprise as the insurgents descended on
the city, one of Afghanistans richest
and the target of repeated Taliban
offensives as the militants spread

their fight across the country following the withdrawal last year of U.S.
and NATO combat troops.
Within 12 hours of launching the
offensive around 3 a.m., the militants
had reached the main square, tearing
down photographs of President
Ashraf Ghani and other leaders and

raising the white flag of the Taliban


movement, residents reported.
More than 600 prisoners, including 140 Taliban fighters, were
released from the citys jail, and
many people were trying to reach the
airport to flee the city.
Kunduz city has collapsed into

the hands of the Taliban, Interior


Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi
told the Associated Press. Security
forces in Kunduz were prepared for
an attack, but not one of this size,
and not one that was coordinated in
10 different locations at the same
time.

Hindi, Mahanpour, Perez for Foster City Council

oster City residents are fortunate to have four high-quality


candidates for three seats on
the City Council.
Sam Hindi, Catherine Mahanpour,
Herb Perez and Patrick Sullivan each
have a rm grasp of the citys issues
and similar perspectives on the collaboration needed when it comes to all
aspects of the Foster City community.
Growth and how to accommodate it
are the key issues in this race, and
incumbent Perez has proven his ability
to take charge and lead the city in the
right direction. The institution of the
gatekeeper ordinance, which requires
project applicants to hold a public hearing before submitting plans to the city,
has been a positive development in
public input. Perez has also been a positive force on the council by taking a
thoughtful and inclusive approach to
city matters. He is respectful of residents thoughts and opinions and seeks
to form consensus when moving forward with city policy. He also does not
mince words and has a strong practicality when it comes to forming the necessary city policy to ensure the citys success into the future. That success, for
Perez, means a strong business community while also ensuring that the city
does not lose its personality and wholesome appeal that drew its residents to
it.
Mahanpour has a thoughtful presence
with a well-rounded familiarity of envi-

Editorial
ronmental regulations which could
serve the community well on the council. She believes it is important to
ensure the city collaborate with the
business community but not just the
large employers, stating that small businesses deserve support as well. All candidates support the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary District $148 million
bond measure with some reservations
because of the vague nature of the ballot language while Mahanpour said she
is keenly interested in ensuring Foster
City gets its fair share of support from
the measure, should it pass.
While Mahanpour has been a resident
for a mere three years, she should be a
quick study and can offer an outside
perspective and an analytical approach
to key issues facing the city. One of her
ideas is to create a 10- to 15-year plan
to address trafc with local and regional agencies and getting businesses on
board with more employee shuttles.
And she also wants to wait and see
what impact developments currently in
the pipeline to determine what their
impact will be before moving forward
with more construction.
Hindi is thoughtful, smart, personable
and immersed in the citys business and
government community. As a member

Parking meters
Editor,
San Mateos downtown parking metering, or pay, stations must be a boon to
that citys coffers as much as they are an
annoying obstacle to those who use
them.
First you have to remember the four
digit number painted on the curb OK,
2736 then traipse to the inconveniently located station and stoop down to
decipher the directions. Put the quarter in
whoops, no, press a button rst and
wait for further instructions on the
screen; that is if the sun is not behind
you paling that screen to unreadability.
Or, alternately, the sun is in you eyes,
making it equally obscure. What was
that number again? Stomp back to the
parking space, get it, then back again,
and start all over. OK press in
2763 great. I just bought someone
else more time while unwittingly
increasing my own chance of getting a
costly ticket.
Now you might think you could take a
chance and just skip it, because youll
only be gone a few minutes instead of
the 30 it will really take you. The city
loves that.
Some weeks ago, I actually witnessed
a well-dressed couple trying to fathom
the complexities of the kiosk. The man,

higher learning rather than rushing to

will further her career and standing in
community and school in profound and
enduring ways, shes traveling more
widely than any car will take her. During
those extra few months of not driving, I
hope she experienced how many other

hope she enjoyed the experience of independent travel associated with walking
or riding the train and bus ormayberiding a bicycle. While traveling without
driving, she may have had time to study
or socialize, experiencing a greater variety of life than is possible when closed
in a private car. She may also have
enjoyed a higher rate of healthy physical
activity each day than she will if she
becomes a daily driver. As Ms. Shen

Reflections
I

would like to extend the utmost thanks to the Daily


Journal staff and Editor Jon Mays for entrusting me
with the opportunity to write a weekly column in the
Daily Journal. With that, I would also like to thank each of
the Daily Journal readers for actively reading and engaging the vast opinions of a wide-eyed third year law student
of 26 years of age.
As I reflect on the fact that one year has passed since I
began writing my column, I am mindful of the day my
junior high English teacher dismissed my chances of writing professionally and the possibility of my attending law
school. She suggested that my performance in her class
coupled with my poor grammatical skills made for a very
poor chance of success in any
career field that required critical
thinking.
It took every ounce of faith
from within for me to see
beyond the dim prospects that
my teacher envisioned for my
future. In each column, I have
strived to express the opportunity to achieve the impossible
through the power of believing
in the possibility of what we
cannot presently see.
My columns are shaped by
Jonathan Madison
the same hope and faith that has
enabled me to reach the opportunities that I have been fortunate enough to obtain in life thus far. I have no doubt
that my readers can see that. In my experience, our lives
are nothing more than the culmination of our personal
manifestations albeit optimism or pessimism.
We had thought-provoking discussions about the vastly
changing landscape of the swinging American voter pendulum. The voter pendulum is being driven in a new direction by the largest wave of independent voters our nation
has ever known a new political party realignment. The
rise of independent voters symbolizes both a distaste in
our political system and the growing uncharted territory of
our nations ideology. Thus, along with the rise of independent voters, comes an essential check on our political
parties something no Democrat or Republican should
take for granted.
I also discussed the importance of exercising what is
arguably the most fundamental and constitutional right we
have the right to vote. With that understanding comes
the recognition that a voiceless people is a hopeless people. As our voices become silent in the electoral process,
the governments capacity to become tyrannical grows
stronger.
In the wake of Fathers Day, I mentioned the invaluable
impact a loving father can have on the life of his child and
the importance of cherishing our beloved fathers every
moment they are here with us. I am frequently reminded
of lifes fleeting nature and, as such, we should be encouraged to cherish our fathers every day as if today were their
last.
I discussed the power of love and forgiveness in the
wake of a tragedy that claimed the lives of nine beloved
members of the AME Church in Charleston, South
Carolina. Following that dialogue was a debate about the
need to leave behind the Confederate Flag one of the
most divisive symbols in our history.
I commended our dear veterans who have courageously
defended our nation. We acknowledged that freedom rings
in our country every day because of the sacrifices our veterans make, and we should continue to faithfully stand
behind them.
I commended the Rotary Clubs of San Mateo County for
their tireless devotion to improving underrepresented segments of the community and environment.
At the heart of these discussions lies a fundamental and
unchanging principle that I live by that even the smallest lantern of faith can bring light to the darkest corridors
of our world. It may be the faith to overcome a lifelong
physical blindness much like the blind mans faith enabled
him to overcome his blindness in being healed by Jesus in
the book of John 39:9. Faith in the possibility of surviving
a potentially fatal condition, such as the ruptured
aneurysm my brother Franklin survived. It may be the
faith to merely emerge in the morning free from the burdening pain of a physical ailment. The faith to cast your
ballot at the voting polls even when it seems as though
your voice will be tuned out by special interests and corporate greed.
Again, I wholeheartedly thank the readers of the Daily
Journal it is an opportunity I shall never take for granted.

NEW YORK Ongoing worries


about the health of the Chinese economy
and another big sell-off in drugmakers
pushed the stock market back toward its
lowest level of the year.
Energy and raw material companies
dropped on reports that industrial profits
at Chinese companies fell sharply in
August, heightening worries about a
slowdown in the worlds second-biggest
economy. Health care stocks fell sharply
as drugmakers extended a decline that
began last week as lawmakers stepped
up pressure on the industry over its pricing policies.
Stocks have fallen sharply in August
and September on concern that a slowdown in China is worse than previously
thought and is spreading to other emerging market economies. The slowdown
could start hurting U.S. companies that
rely on overseas demand for a large portion of their profits.
Whenever the market is down, the
first place to look these days is China,
said John Manley, chief equity strategist
at Wells Fargo Fund Management.
Right now, we need evidence that
China is not slowing that much and that
profits are still going to be OK.

more diversified industrial products and it generated about $6

The Palo Alto, California, personal computer maker plans to form
a new company called HP Inc. that will focus solely on personal
computers and printers. Another company, to be named Hewlett

Current CEO Meg Whitman will run Hewlett Packard Enterprises
while Dion Weisler will be CEO of HP Inc.

The Dow Chemical Co.


The Midland, Michigan, chemical producer, while not really
splitting in two, is breaking off a significant chunk of itself, its
chlorine operations, in a sale to Olin Corp. for about $5 billion.
Some investors have pushed for the deal, seeing value in a
slimmer Dow.
Under the deal, its chlor-alkali and derivatives business will join

with Olin in a cash-and-stock deal, after which Dow shareholders


will receive about a 50.5 percent stake in the newly formed
company.

Gannett Co.
The McLean, Virginia, company best known for its flagship
newspaper USA Today, will spin off its digital and broadcasting
businesses from its publishing business. The newspaper and
publishing business will retain the Gannett corporate name,
while the new broadcasting company will be called TEGNA. It
will be home to 46 television stations and include digital
businesses like cars.com and CareerBuilder.

eBay Inc.
The San Jose e-commerce company split off its PayPal payments

part of eBays strategy to focus more on its marketplace business
as competition heats up with Amazon.com Inc. and other online
retailers.

General Electric Co.


While known mostly as an industrial conglomerate, the Fairfield,
Connecticut, companys big money-maker has been finance.
That had become a problem, at least for some big shareholders,

Alcoa splitting into two


independent companies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Alcoa will split into two


independent companies, separating its bauxite, aluminum and casting operations from its
engineering, transportation and global rolled
products businesses.
The century-plus-old metals maker has been
dealing with a downturn in its smelting business because of lower aluminum prices. The
split will create one company focusing on
upstream products, including aluminum. The
other company will focus on engineered products, which includes the automotive and aerospace segments.
The split is part of a wider movement by
companies to spin off units in a bid to boost
shareholder value. Often, the strategy helps
free the stronger part of a companys business
from a weaker segment.
The aluminum and upstream products company will retain the Alcoa name. The name of
the engineered products company has yet to
be determined.

Apple sells 13 million


new iPhones in three days
NEW YORK Apple says it sold more than
13 million iPhone 6s and 6s Plus phones in the
three days since its iPhone launch, topping last
years early sales mark.
Apple sold 10 million IPhone 6 and 6 Plus
models during their first weekend last year. This
years results include sales in China which was
included in the initial launch for the first time.
Apple said previously that preorders were so
strong that it expected to surpass last years
record. PiperJaffray analyst Gene Munster said
results came in at the high end of his expectations for sales of 12 million to 13 million. He
estimates China added about 2 million in sales.
Todays news suggests the iPhone 6 cycle is
off to a good start, he wrote.
The new models have more memory and
faster processors, along with a new 12 megapixel camera, and starts at $649. Apple and
wireless service providers are also offering leasing and monthly installment plans.
Cupertino, California-based Apple Inc. says
the phones will be available in 40 additional
countries beginning Oct. 9 including Italy,
Mexico, Russia, Spain and Taiwan and 130
countries by the end of the year.

expects the split to be complete by the second


half of 2016. The company has been an industrial presence in the U.S. economy for well
over a century, dating its founding as the
Pittsburgh Reduction Co. in 1888.
In the last few years, we have successfully
transformed Alcoa to create two strong value
engines that are now ready to pursue their own
distinctive strategic directions, Chairman and
CEO Klaus Kleinfeld said in a statement.
The company has been shifting its focus to
its more profitable automotive and aerospace
products, which also involve titanium. It has
been shutting down unprofitable aluminum
smelters as a surplus of the material on the
market weighs down prices and profit.
Earlier this month, Alcoa broadened a partnership with Ford Motor Co. through the use
of a stronger form of aluminum for auto body
parts. It also spent about $60 million to
expand its three-dimensional manufacturing
capabilities at a technical center in the
Pittsburgh area.
After the planned split, Kleinfeld will lead
the as yet unnamed company focusing on
engineering products.

U.S. consumer spending
up 0.4 percent in August
WASHINGTON U.S. consumer spending
rose at a healthy rate in August, while income
growth slowed after a big jump in July.
Consumer spending advanced 0.4 percent
compared to July, when spending also increased
by 0.4 percent, the Commerce Department said
Monday. In both months, the figures reflected
strong gains in purchases of durable goods such
as autos. Consumer spending accounts for twothirds of economic activity, and the latest result
supports expectations for it to remain strong in
the second half of this year. That should help
serve as a buffer against a global slowdown that
has hurt American manufacturers.
Overall consumer spending remains robust
and highlights a solid employment backdrop,
said Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP

employment remains solid and wages begin to
accelerate.
Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Terra Nova loves its barnburners.


Last year during its Central Coast Section
Division IV title run, Terra Nova outscored
opponents by an average of 37-36. None of
those games have anything on last Fridays
double-overtime win over Homestead though.
It was a nail-biter, Terra Nova head coach
Tim Adams said. I probably lost 10 years off
my life.
The Tigers persevered for a 47-41 victory,
riding senior Joey Pledger for his best varsity
game since taking over at quarterback this
season. Pledger totaled 354 total yards,
throwing 20-of-28 for 251 yards while rushing for another 102 yards on 10 carries.
Pledger also totaled three touchdowns, two
by air and one via the rush. It was the latter
a 1-yard touchdown run on a play-action
sweep that proved the game-winner that
put the senior quarterback over the top as the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
It was a key win for the Tigers, who evened
their record. Now, after a bye week, they go
into Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
play Oct. 9 against reigning league champion
Sacred Heart Prep with a 2-2 overall mark.
It feels great, Pledger said. It was a mustwin game, not just because of our record, but
whenever you go into a bye week, you want to
have a win the week before.
The funny thing is, amid a 35-35 tie with seconds remaining before the end of regulation
and Homestead lining up for a potential gamewinning field goal from 30 yards out Pledger
had ruled out the likelihood of a win.
It wasnt merely the threat of Homestead
hitting the field goal that had Pledger believing he wasnt going to set foot on the field
again. He wasnt even aware overtime was a
possibility, instead thinking the best-case
scenario was, if Homestead missed the kick,
the game would end in a tie.
So, after Homesteads field-goal attempt
flew wide for the miss, Pledger breathed a sigh
of relief and got ready to pack it in for the
night. Then, to his surprise, Adams told him
to get out to the 50-yard line for the overtime
coin toss.

here were a lot of interesting


sporting events on television
this weekend and it ran the gamut:
from college to pro, from boxing to football, baseball and rugby yes rugby.
Lets start with the most obvious ones
rst and lead off with the Oakland Raiders,
who appear on the track to respectability
this season. Oakland won its rst road
game since the 2013 season when they
held off Cleveland, 27-20 Sunday.
Just like last week, however, the Raiders
needed some last-minute heroics to nail
down the win getting a late Charles
Woodson interception to seal the deal
Sunday but a win
is a win and, given
the dearth of wins
over the last several
years, lets not dissect one to death.
***
A friend asked me
before the start of
the NFL season,
which team would
have a better
record: the Raiders
or 49ers. I told her I thought Oakland
would be slightly better than San
Francisco. Now the Raiders will simply
be better by default because I have a feeling its going to be a long, brutal season
for the team playing in Santa Clara,
which was steamrolled by Arizona, 47-7.
Ive been a big supporter of Colin
Kaepernick, but I think his time has
come to an end. It wasnt the fact he
threw four interceptions, it was the way
they were thrown, just weak attempts.
And when one of his supposed strong
suits is the strength of his arm, those
picks were alarming.
Its not all his fault. The offensive line
is atrocious, cant open holes for the running backs. Same old, broken-record
story.
The 49ers are a long way from even
being competitive right now, let alone

Garricks homecoming keeps USC unbeaten


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Victoria Garrick isnt a boxer, but she sure


looks like shes ready to throw every time
her USC volleyball team wins a point.
Intense and charismatic on the floor,
Garrick has had plenty of opportunities to
celebrate with her pugilistic looking double
fist-pump for the Women of Troy this season. The Sacred Heart Prep alumna has found
her niche in the back row as a freshman at
USC, and the No. 2-ranked team in the
nation has done nothing but win.
Sunday at Maples Pavilion, USC won its

16th straight to start the season, taking No.


8-ranked Stanford to five sets for a thrilling
win 26-24, 19-25, 20-25, 25-17, 15-13. It
marks the first time the Cardinal have lost
at home in nearly two years, since falling to
USC on Oct. 30, 2013.
With the match in the balance amid a 13-13
tie in Game 5, Garrick produced a pivotal dig
to sway the balance the way of the Women of
Troy. As the long rally wound down, Stanford
outside hitter Jordan Burgess saw paint down
the USC sideline and fired a rocket. Garrick
quickly sidestepped to get the ball up
though. USC went on to win the rally and, on
the ensuing point, the match.

That was a fun one, Garrick said.


Its been a fun ride for Garrick, a two-time
All-West Bay Athletic League first-team
selection at SHP. When she arrived at USC
as one of five freshmen this season, she
wasnt expecting to see much playing time.
But two dynamics worked to shift her
expectations. Last season, USC saw a rare
departure from its role as a Pac-12 contender, finishing in 10th place. And this
year, the team saw a massive turnover, with
a majority of its roster now composed of
underclassmen.

Continued from page 11
He kind of pushed me out there
and I was like - alright, Pledger
said.
Its just another case of Pledger
learning on the fly this season,
which is understandable. After all,
he didnt take his first official varsity snap from center until this years
opening game at Sacred Heart
Cathedral. He did serve as backup
quarterback last season to the legendary Anthony Gordon, but didnt
get under center for so much as one
play.
Instead, Pledger studied the playbook, learned the offense and
oh, yeah got to learn from the
all-time CCS passing leader in
Gordon.
It was insane, Pledger said. It
wasnt like I was that guy sitting
where I thought I should be the quarterback. He was one of the best in
the country. So, it was fun watching
him play.
Pledger, in fact, hadnt played
quarterback since his freshman season. In 2012, while playing his
first year of organized football with
the Tigers freshman team, he spilt
time with Paul Pierotti. The team
finished 7-3. Then, when they
moved up to the frosh-soph team in
2013, Pierotti took over as the fulltime quarterback and Pledger moved
to wide receiver.
Adams then an assistant coach
under longtime head coach Bill

Gray had wanted to promote


Pledger as a sophomore, specifically because Adams had identified him
as the future varsity quarterback.
But Pledger opted to play for the
frosh-soph team in order to get regular playing time.
I tried to bring him up to varsity
as a sophomore, which I really
think it was a mistake that he didnt, Adams said. But it was tough
for him to sit behind Anthony.
Now, with Pierotti dedicating
himself to defense prior to last season, Pledger is filling the enormous
shoes of Gordon. But, unlike last
season, those shoes are now often
running. Gordon, with his prolific
arm, wasnt much for rushing the
ball. In 2014, Gordon gained just 91
rushing yards. Pledger topped that
total in the Homestead game alone.
His arm is not as live as
Anthonys, obviously, but he does
a lot of good things with his feet,
Adams said.
But the free-wheeling Pledger
learned to approach the open field
with a bit of caution in Terra Novas
opening scrimmage of the year,
when he got his bell rung while diving headlong across the goal line
for a touchdown.
I got back up and everything was
just blurry, Pledger said.
So, Pledger learned his lesson and
now leads with the feet whenever
possible. The technique came in
handy several times against
Homestead. Pledger actually wasnt
the teams leading rusher in the
game. The Tigers ran for 293 yards
as a team, led by junior Saini
Sainis career-high 177 yards.
But, when the game was on the

line, Pledger was again the one to


dive across the goal line, this time
for the game-winning score. Terra
Nova pounded the ball in to cap the
first overtime period, with fullback
Erik Faivailo scoring on a 1-yard
blast. But after the Tigers failed on
the two-point conversion attempt,
Homestead answered back with a
score and had a chance to win with
an extra-point attempt.
Like he did prior to Homesteads
missed field goal at the end of regulation, Adams called a timeout. The
ensuing PAT was missed, forcing a
second overtime.
Pledger took advantage of the
second life. On first down, he hit
senior receiver Anthony Fretty
who totaled eight catches for 120
yards and three touchdowns in the
game for a 9-yard strike to the 1yard line. On the following play,
Pledger executed a 1-yard playaction bootleg to perfection.
Although Terra Novas PAT was
blocked, the defense held Homestead
on the final possession of overtime,
including a fourth-down pass into
the end zone that was intercepted by
junior Sepronio Ruiz. Ruiz actually
took the ball out of the end zone and
returned it 103 yards with Homestead
in pursuit, not knowing the game
ended as soon as the turnover was
committed.
Just another Terra Nova barnburner. Not that Adams is fond of the tradition of dramatics. But, as the old
adage goes, a win is a win.
It should have never gone into
overtime,
Adams
said.
Conservatively speaking, we
missed three scores (in regulation)
but we found a way to do it.

OAKLAND The shortest offseason in Warriors history was filled


with talk show appearances, golf
outings with the president, award
shows and worldwide travel.
Just over three months after celebrating their first NBA championship in 40 years, the Warriors
returned to work Monday intent on
repeating.
With almost every significant
player back again this season and
a full year of experience in coach
Steve Kerrs system, the Warriors
believe they can be even better
despite the bright target on their
backs as defending champions.

No one expects it to come easy.


We cant think were going to
be the same team and show up and
win 67 games and win a championship, MVP point guard Stephen
Curry said. Its not going to be
easy. For us, its about doing what
we do well and doing it better.
Curry had an eventful summer.
He toured China, extended his new
sponsorship deal with Under
Armour, attended the Kids Choice
and ESPY award shows and
appeared on talk shows like The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
That was all secondary to birth
of his second daughter, Ryan

ANAHEIM While the Angels are desperately trying to extend their season, the As
know exactly where theyre going next week.
At least the As can cause a little bit of
drama for their California rivals on the way
to their last-place AL finish.
David Murphy drove a pinch-hit single into
left field to end it, and Los Angeles kept the
pressure on in the wild-card race with its sixth
consecutive victory, 5-4 Monday night.
Marcus Semien homered for the As, who
had a lead in the sixth before Albert Pujols
tied it with his 558th career homer. After
Oakland failed to score in the final three
innings against the Angels depleted bullpen,
Murphy capped the ninth-inning rally in the
As third straight loss and eighth in nine.
Personally, I treat every game the same,
but we want to be spoilers, of course,
Semien said. We want to do everything we
can to win a ballgame, no matter what, and
whatever circumstances come out of that,
thats fine.

Rodgers led the Packers (3-0) on two successful first-quarter drives that ended with
scoring passes to Cobb

James Jones for a 27yard touchdown reception late in the second
quarter for a 17-point
lead at the break.
Jamaal Charles rushed

Aaron Rodgers Kansas City (1-2), which
followed its stunning, last-minute loss at
home to Denver with a respectable fourthquarter effort at raucous Lambeau Field.
Charles 7-yard TD with 1:25 left got the
Chiefs within 10. But the end result was the
same for K.C., which lost its second straight.
Rodgers was 24 of 35 in another masterful performance for the MVP quarterback.

Boy, that Tim Hudson-Barry Zito matchup
zzled out Saturday afternoon, didnt it? Both
guys got shelled in less than three innings of
work. Not a lot to celebrate there.
The game will be remembered, however, for
the power show from rookie Jarrett Parker,
who was so far down the Giants priority list,
they didnt even call him up when the minor
league season ended. Parker had been home
for four days when he got the call.
He was completely overmatched in his rst
stint in June, but Parker is locked in now. He
hit three bombs in Saturdays game including what turned out to be a game-winning
grand slam.

Saturday is always the big college football
day, but I dont really watch a lot of it.
Maybe its the fact the morning gets off to
such a dull start with lackluster morning
games that it doesnt suck me in for the rest
of the day.
(Dont even get me started on that lame
UMass at Notre Dame dog either. I saw that
on my television guide and said, What a
joke.)
As I was ipping around Saturday afternoon, I paused for a couple minutes on the

I think we really had no idea what to
expect, Garrick said. Last year the USC
womens volleyball team didnt have their
best season, so this year our coach talked
about bringing in a new system.
It wasnt long before USC head coach Mick
Foley became Garricks best ally. In his 39th
year as a collegiate head coach, including 15
years at USC, Foley has never shied away from
relying on freshmen. At present, USC generally has three freshmen on the floor at all times.
Its a formula Foley has utilized before.
With four national championships to his
credit, he likened the current lineup of freshmen to a University of Texas team he took
to the final four. And Garricks contagious
on-court demeanor has quickly put her in

Playing in one of the toughest pools in the
tournament Scotland is ranked No. 9 in
the world. The Eagles rst-round opponent,
Samoa, and their next opponent Australia,
are ranked Nos. 9 and 3, respectively.
The U.S., now 0-2, needed to go at least 22 to have a shot at advancing. Now, barring a
monumental upset of Australia, the Eagles are
looking at 1-3, at best, with a match against
Japan that did beat Australia that is
ranked No. 13 in the world.
The U.S. is 16th.
The worst part of Sundays early-morning

second half, with Scotland scoring four tries
over the nal 40 minutes, while holding the
U.S. to just three points.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle that is a
Friday night football deadline, mistakes can
happen.
Like simple math, for instance. In my
haste to meet my deadline, I screwed up when
adding the quarterbacking stats for Aragons

Saturday evening, real boxing fans were
treated to a rare sight: a heavyweight championship ght on broadcast television.
Thats right, for the rst time since 1985, a
heavyweight title bout was broadcast on one
of the three major networks: in this case,
NBC.
The ght featured World Boxing Council
champion Deontay Wilder, a bronze-medal
winner at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
He is touted as the next great heavyweight
contender and, if you believe the hype, has a
chance to unseat longtime acknowledged true
champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Wilder certainly didnt disappoint Saturday
night against a no-name ghter who had
never fought outside his native France.
But Johann Duhaupas proved to be much
more than a tomato can for Wilder, who hit
the stiff-chinned Frenchman with everything
but the kitchen sink, only to see Duhaupas
come back for more.
Wilder eventually overwhelmed Duhaupas
in the 11th to record a technical knockout,
but there was no doubt Wilder was in a ght
as the puffy mouse under his left eye
proved.
Wilder may still be a ght or two away
from squaring off with Klitschko but, for the
rst time in a long time, there appears to
another legitimate heavyweight contender.

Im pleasantly surprised shes out there
playing for us, Haley said. And not only is
she doing it. Shes doing it with a smile on her
face.
USC entered the Stanford match having
dropped just two sets in its previous 15 outings. And in going five sets for the first time
this season, it was big night for several of the
Women of Troy. Senior outside hitter
Samantha Bricio who, through five weeks,
has already captured Pac-12 Offensive Player
of the Week honors four times fired a season-high 27 kills.
Garrick also produced one of her best performances, matching her season-high of 14
digs.
USC had to come back from the brink after
three sets of play though, falling behind 2-1,
at which point the team huddled on the sideline and willed itself to victory.
In the huddle we decided were going to
take it to five, and were going to win it in

five, Garrick said.


Wherein is the defining quality of a winner,
USCs sudden chemistry, according to Foley.
And it translated from the sideline onto the
court over the final two sets.
I think the chemistry is the critical thing
that always gives you a chance to win, Haley
said. If you have the chemistry, you have a
chance.
Garrick had extra motivation playing in an
arena shes been attending, as a fan, for years.
Add to that the warm reception of family,
friends and former teammates. Garrick estimated she had 25 people in her cheering section, including many current SHP players
Jorden Schreeder, Samara Phillips, Annie
Bair, Natalie Zimits and Cate Desler.
A six-rotation player in high school,
Garrick is a natural as a defensive specialist.
But with a 5-10 stature and a rising star on one
of the nations best teams, the sky is the limit
for the Atherton native.
Shes a special one, Haley said.

Tomsula backs Kaps dreadful performance


By Chris Biderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Coming off two straight


blowout losses, San Francisco 49ers head
coach Jim Tomsula remained in the corner of
his starting quarterback.
I believe in Colin Kaepernick and I think
hes got the tools to be a darn good quarterback
in this league, Tomsula said Monday after the
49ers lost to division rival Arizona 47-7.
Kaepernick threw four interceptions, including two on his first two possessions that were
returned for touchdowns, and finished with a
career-low 16.7 quarterback rating.
While the Cardinals continued to build their
lead in the first half, the 49ers offense elected
to stick with the rushing attack after
Kaepernicks early mistakes. The 49ers ran
the ball on 13 straight plays, including two
quarterback scrambles on called passes.
Kaepernick finished the first half with 33
yards passing, and didnt add to that total until
5:09 in the fourth quarter before finishing
with 67 yards. He threw his fourth interception on the first play of the second half.
Very hard for me to deal with. Very hard to
see myself play like that and hurt this team the
way I did, Kaepernick said after the game. I
nullified all the efforts of every other player on

that field today and thats


something that I have to
fix.
Kaepernick spent much
of the offseason working
on becoming a better
passer from the pocket,
which included work with
two-time league MVP Kurt
Warner and position
Colin
coach Dennis Gile at
Kaepernick
EXOS, a performance
training facility in Phoenix.
Through the first two games, Kaepernick
completed 69 percent of his throws, averaging 250 yards passing with a 98.1 quarterback
rating before Sundays showing. Through
three games, however, San Francisco has the
leagues lowest-scoring offense.
His development as a pocket passer, in
terms of Colin reading and looking at things,
and studying, I think hes doing a nice job
there working at it, Tomsula said. In terms
of us as a team, and as a whole offense, our
drop-back pass game, we need to be better at
and we need to improve on.
Things wont get easier for the reeling
49ers (1-2) after getting outscored 90-25 in
their last two games. They host the Green Bay
Packers on Sunday.

Kaepernick might find solace in his past


success against Green Bay. He set a playoff
record for a quarterback when he ran for 181
yards in his breakout performance in the playoffs in January 2013. In the season opener the
next year, he set a career high with 412 yards
passing in a 34-28 win.
The 49ers havent lost to the Packers since
2010.
However, the lack of production on offense
isnt the only obstacle facing San Francisco.
Defensively, the team is showing attrition
after losing linebacker Patrick Willis and
defensive lineman Justin Smith to retirement
in the offseason.
Carson Palmer and Ben Roethlisberger
combined to throw for 676 yards over the last
two games, when the 49ers allowed 40 or
more points on consecutive weeks for the first
time since 2006.
Given the tumultuous offseason San
Francisco had, including changing head
coaches and losing a number of key players,
Tomsula insisted its still too early to give up
on the season.
We are a work in progress, Tomsula said.
As far as a lost season, no. I disagree wholeheartedly. And in terms of anybody thats not
here, we spend zero time thinking of that.
That doesnt help us get better.

Autopsy: High school QB died from internal bleeding


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, N.J. A high school star


quarterback who collapsed after taking a hit
on the playing field died from massive
internal bleeding caused by a lacerated
spleen, according to autopsy reports made
public Monday.
The Morris County medical examiners
office found that the spleen of 17-year-old
Evan Murray was abnormally enlarged,
making it more susceptible to injury.
There was no evidence of head trauma or
heart disease, officials said, and the death

has been ruled an accident.


The Warren Hills Regional High School
player had walked off the field with the help
of some teammates Friday night after taking
a hit in the backfield. A short time later, the
three-sport athlete collapsed on the sidelines and died at a hospital.
Witnesses said Murray felt woozy after
the tackle but tried reassuring his teammates
he would be fine as he was lifted onto a gurney.
Gary Bowen, the school districts interim
superintendent, said he did not know if
Murray complained of any pain or difficulty

Coach knows
Raiders have
room to grow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND If there was any danger of the


Raiders becoming overconfident this week
facing the winless Bears after back-to-back
victories for the first time
since 2012, coach Jack
Del Rio delivered a warning Monday.
Theres a lot of growth
in front of us and we
absolutely got to grind
and push and continue to
sacrifice, and as coaches
Jack Del Rio were going to continue
to demand, Del Rio said,
one day after a 27-20 victory against the
Browns. And we expect to play a lot better
football as we go forward in the season, and
the only way you can do that is if you put in
the work.
The Raiders (2-1) ended their 11-game road
losing streak and their 16-game skid in the
Eastern time zone on Sunday. Now theyll try
to win three straight for the first time since
2011, when former coach Hue Jackson led
them to victories against San Diego and
Minnesota on the road then Chicago at
home.
For the second straight week, the Raiders
delivered a big play down the stretch to
secure a victory. Two weeks ago, quarterback
Derek Carr threw a game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Seth Roberts
with 26 second left in a 37-33 victory
against Baltimore. At Cleveland, free safety Charles Woodson intercepted a Josh
McCown pass at the Raiders 12 with 38 sec-

important every day so when its
late in the fourth quarter and its
time to make a play, youre going
to do what youre trained to do,
Del Rio said.
The Raiders improved offense
had triple-digit days from three of
its top young weapons Carr,
running back Latavius Murray and
rookie wide receiver Amari
Cooper. Carr passed for 314 yards
and two touchdowns, Murray carried 26 times for 139 yards and one
score, and Cooper caught eight
passes for 134 yards.
Its important to have weapons
available, Del Rio said. What
gives it all a chance to go is the
offensive line. I think where you
as a football team have a chance to
look at some of those playmakers
running down the field is if your
offensive line is holding up and
blocking well. It starts with the
men in the trenches. Defensively
Id say the same thing. It starts
with our guys up front.
On defense, the Raiders had their
first five sacks of the season, with
linebacker Khalil Mack getting
two of those and forcing a fumble.
The Raiders made strides overall
defensively but got burned for the
third straight game by an opposing tight end, this time Gary
Barnidge, who had six catches for
105 yards and a touchdown.

Former L.A. County inmates


file legal action over treatment
By Amanda Lee Myers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

California will join Mississippi and West Virginia as the only states with such strict requirements
requiring mandatory vaccines for schoolchildren if the law takes effect as planned next year.

Effort to repeal California


vaccine law faces deadline
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Supporters of an effort


to repeal Californias new law requiring
mandatory vaccines for schoolchildren faced a
Monday deadline to turn in enough signatures
to qualify a ballot initiative asking voters to
repeal the law.
The group had until the end of the day to
submit the needed 366,000 signatures to county clerks to ask California voters to repeal
SB277, which struck the states personal
belief exemption for immunizations, a move
that requires nearly all public schoolchildren
to be vaccinated.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB277 into law
earlier this year amid fierce opposition from
some parents rights groups who argue the
state should not force their children to be vaccinated, saying the science is clear that vaccines dramatically protect children against a
number of infectious and dangerous diseases.
Its unclear whether supporters have enough
signatures to make it to the ballot and it might
not be known until next week, when clerks
face a deadline to report how many signatures
they received. The leading proponent of the

effort, former Republican Assemblyman Tim


Donnelly, said in an email Monday that volunteers were coerced and threatened while
collecting signatures. Donnelly did not return
repeated messages inquiring about the efforts
chances, but said in his email that he was
proud of the volunteers who worked on the
campaign whatever the outcome is.
The SB277 Referendum was sabotaged
from without and within by powerful forces
from its very inception, but we never gave up
and we never gave in, he wrote.
The bills author, Sen. Richard Pan, DSacramento, told reporters Monday that hes
confident voters support the vaccination
requirement, whether the initiative makes the
ballot or not.
Im sure the voters of California are not
interested in letting a privileged few take
away the rights of all Californians to be safe
from preventable disease, Pan said. If they
dont have the signatures, I think it would be a
direct reflection of the fact that Californians
wanted to see their communities safe.
California will join Mississippi and West
Virginia as the only states with such strict
requirements if the law takes effect as planned
next year.

LOS ANGELES A settlement between


the federal government and Los Angeles
County fails to require adequate services for
mentally ill and homeless inmates after their
release, perpetuating the cycle between Skid
Row and jail cells, according to a legal action
filed by former prisoners on Monday.
The action, a motion to intervene filed in
federal court, argues that the Department of
Justice settlement fails to address the needs of
mentally ill prisoners in the Los Angeles
County jail system, the nations largest.
The motion seeks to modify the Sept. 3 settlement to beef up provisions requiring the
county to provide inmates with access to medical and mental health services.
The continuous jail-to-Skid Row-to-jail
cycle responsible for the perpetuation of our
crisis of homelessness is the shame of our
community, said Mark Rosenbaum, one of
the attorneys who filed the motion.
County spokesman Joel Sappell said the
county had not had an opportunity to review
the action and would have no comment.
A spokeswoman for the Justice Department
said the department would review the motion.
Under the settlement, the county is required
to conduct discharge planning for mentally ill
inmates who are being released, and provide
them with information about mental health
providers.
But in practice, that often means handing
inmates with a list of providers and releasing
them with little more than the clothes on their

backs and no transportation, Rosenbaum said.


This protocol is a meaningless gesture for
paranoid schizophrenics or others who are
severely mentally ill, who are mentally and
psychiatrically incapable of deciphering such
a list or navigating what must be done to
receive services or medications, Rosenbaum
said. Its the equivalent of handing out lists
written in hieroglyphics.
Moreover, he said the providers listed are
frequently overburdened and unable to help
new clients.
LePriest Valentine, a 42-year-old former
Skid Row resident who said he went to county jail three times last year for petty theft, said
that each time he was released, no one gave
him information about services or prescriptions for his bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
Valentine, one of the people filing
Mondays action, said it was only through a
cousin living on Skid Row that he learned
about a program that provides housing and
services to the mentally ill in Los Angeles.
Now Valentine said hes managing his illnesses with medication, working part-time
and planning on returning to school to become
a full-time social worker to help people like
him.
Without the program that got him out of
Skid Row, Valentine said hed probably still
be cycling between the jail and the street.
Youre trying, but a couple more days
youre out there and then the desperation
kicks in and you go back to your desperate
acts, he said. Its like going back into the
fire.

As it currently stands, Rosas said there are
some district teachers who have to share
space with others and are forced to transport
their materials between vacant classrooms
throughout the day, which is a hardship for
those charged with educating students.
In all, the district needs to build 50 classrooms throughout San Mateo and Foster
City to accommodate the approximately
12,500 students currently enrolled, as well
as future growth, officials claim.
Should it be approved, bond money would
be used to add classrooms in San Mateo at
George Hall and Sunnybrae elementary
schools, as well as Abbott, Bayside STEM
and Borel middle schools. New gyms will be
built at the middle schools too.
Middle school enrollment growth in
Foster City will be addressed by renovating
the campus at Bowditch, and adding capacity with new buildings as well as relocatable
classrooms.
Should negotiations for the sale of Charter
Square not come to fruition, officials would
likely consider adding new buildings at

elementary schools.

the rest of the district.
There is no concrete plan for the type of

the new school would serve a community

a school there closed in 2006 due to academic failures.

Planned Parenthood president


is proud of fetal tissue work
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

In
Planned

fetal tissue for researchers and castigating
Republicans for not investigating the antiabortion activists who furtively made the
recordings.

On Election Day itself, for those who did
not fill out their mail ballots, voters may use a
voting machine at the two voting centers and
32 universal polling places.
The success depends on getting the message out and to let voters know they have different options, Church said.
Voters who do wait to cast their ballots on
Election Day will receive a ballot specific to
them regardless of where they cast their vote,
Church said.
City clerks throughout the county will also
collect the ballots starting next week up until
Nov. 3.
City clerks are a critical partner in the
process, Church said.
In the county now, 57 percent of registered
voters are permanent vote by mail, Church
said.
In the November 2013 election, 77 percent
of voters voted by mail, he said.

Planned Parenthood is proud of its limited
role in supporting fetal tissue research, she
said, arguing that the donations have helped
scientists search for cures.
Abortion opponent David Daleiden
obtained the videos by posing as an executive
of a fake company seeking to supply fetal tissue to researchers. Richards said Daleiden,
despite three years of doing that, didnt entrap
any Planned Parenthood officials into doing
anything illegal.
It is clear they acted fraudulently and
unethically and perhaps illegally, Richards
said.

at 8 p.m.
Based on my own experience, voter
turnout is 15 percent higher with all mail,
Church said.
Church anticipates the county will save
about 40 percent this election compared to traditional ones.
The savings come from primarily not having to hire the 1,700 precinct workers to oversee 1,400 voting machines at 209 polling
places throughout the county on Election Day
itself, he said.
Although the Elections Office does not
have a clear goal when it comes to voter
turnout, the office is conducting outreach at
high schools and community colleges to
specifically attract younger voters. The office
will even utilize Twitter and Facebook to get
the message out this year about the all-mail
election. Starting soon, the office will also
rely on radio, television and print advertisements to spread the word about the election,
Church said.
Yolo and San Mateo counties are participating in the pilot, which was approved by state
lawmakers last year with the passage of
Mullins Assembly Bill 2028.
It gives San Mateo County the authority to
conduct up to three all-mail ballot elections
until the end of 2017. Presidential elections,
however, are excluded from the pilot.

MTV extreme sports star killed in skydiving accident


By Olga R. Rodriguez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO An extreme


sports star skydiving for the opening ceremony of a golf event in Northern
California died when he struck a tree
Monday, authorities said.
Placer County sheriffs Capt. Dennis
Walsh said Erik Roner, of Tahoe City,
died during a skydiving accident at a golf
course in Squaw Valley, about 5 miles
from Lake Tahoes northwest shore.
Witnesses told deputies Roner, 39,

funding mechanism.
Lawmakers have also been on the
lookout for alternatives and recent legislation could provide tools to fund redevelopment projects for low-income
communities across the state.
Assembly Bill 2: Community
Revitalization Authority, has been touted
as an alternative to RDAs a longstanding finance mechanism that generated nearly $6 billion a year and was dissolved in 2012 as the state sought to balance its budget while preventing agencies from siphoning off taxes that would
have otherwise contributed to schools.
AB 2, signed last week by Gov. Jerry
Brown, only applies to areas in which 80
percent of residents fall below the states
median income meaning San Mateo
County is unlikely to qualify. The most
recent data from 2013 shows the
statewide average individual income
was $36,624 for an individual and
$73,378 for those who filed joint returns.
San Mateo County was ranked as
home to the second highest income earners in California with the average joint
return at $115,651 in 2013, according to
the state Franchise Tax Board.
We recognize that most jurisdictions
in San Mateo County are unlikely to
qualify for the opportunities created
under the bill, wrote Hugh Bowers,
chief of staff for Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, who co-authored AB 2. The
reality is San Mateo County suffers
tremendously with a lack of affordable
housing. When redevelopment agencies
went away, so did the only statewide
affordable housing tool.
Although AB 2 may not provide
opportunities to many local jurisdictions, its the Legislatures attempt to
begin addressing concerns over the loss
of RDAs and consider possible alternatives, said Dan Carrigg, legislative
director with the League of California
Cities.

The other skydivers landed safely on
the golf course in Squaw Valley, home of
the ski resort that hosted the 1960 Winter
Olympics.

Walsh said the investigation was continuing and the Federal Aviation
Administration was notified.
Roner, a professional skier and avid
BASE jumper, was known for being part
of Nitro Circus, an MTV show centered around freestyle motocross rider
Travis Pastrana and his crew of extreme
sports athlete friends. He also hosted the
TV show Locals on sports network
Outside Television.
Nitro Circus ended in 2009 after two
seasons. Nitro Circus Live, where
Roner also appeared, aired on MTV2 for
four seasons until last year, MTV spokeswoman Jennifer Solari said.

districts could form Community


Revitalization
and
Investment
Authorities, or a CRIA, to use tax increment revenue to fund infrastructure projects, assist businesses or support affordable housing in disadvantaged communities. It also prohibits a CRIA from taking tax revenue away from schools a
major point of contention among opponents of RDAs.
Unlike RDAs, which were allowed to
withhold tax revenue that would have
gone to special districts or schools without their permission, forming a CRIA
requires an agreement among the affected entities, Carrigg said.
While AB 2 addressed some of the
concerns surrounding RDAs, it also
redefines whats considered disadvantaged through geographical restrictions
only areas with low-income residents, high unemployment as well as
crime rates, or failing infrastructure can
participate.
Because regions like San Mateo
County may not qualify under AB 2 but
still have unfunded needs, Carrigg said
he hopes state officials will continue to
consider how to account for the loss of
RDAs.
If theres a joint vision for more
affordable housing, maybe thats something we could get in the future. Find
some mechanism where the state can
also be in a position to invest in transitoriented development or affordable
housing, to partner with local efforts that
match up with these goals, Carrigg
said. It would be nice to find a way in
the future, where the state can at least be
at the table when locals are willing to
step up and make a contribution to
advance a major policy issue.
Another law passed last year in an
attempt to make up for the loss of RDAs
was Senate Bill 628: Enhanced
Infrastructure Financing Districts, or
EIFD.
If overlapping entities agree to form
an EIFD, they can use their tax increments to finance infrastructure projects
such as transit facilities and affordable
housing. It also requires 55 percent of
voters to approve a bond taken out with

EIFD proceeds.
While EIFDs dont limit more
wealthy communities from participating,
Carrigg said the main barrier to raising
sufficient funds is getting multiple agencies with overlapping boundaries to
agree on a common goal.
Furthermore, billions of dollars that
were earmarked for cities projects disappeared along with the dissolution of
RDAs and momentum under these new
laws will take time, Carrigg said.
Now everybodys starting over, starting from zero. These two tools, AB 2
and EIFD, while they give local governments back some tools they can work
with, the reality is that it may be a
decade or so before these tools begin to
produce significant amounts of revenue
to begin projects whether its infrastructure or affordable housing, or repairing
deteriorated areas, Carrigg said. If we
really want to see more accelerated
progress in dealing with some of these
issues, well have to figure out a way to
bring more resources to bear. And we
hope to continue conversations with our
state leaders on how we can advance
policies where theres mutual agreement
with local agencies that are willing to
put their own resources in the mix.
Bower said Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, is eager to find other replacements to RDAs than can benefit areas
like San Mateo County which may
boast wealthy populations, but still
struggle to fund affordable housing projects. Unfortunately, the governor has not
indicated a willingness to support initiatives addressing affordable housing
issues that hit high-cost areas particularly hard, Bower said.
We will continue to advocate for new
tools to address affordable housing as
well as incentives for hard to develop
parcels with the governor, Bower said.
We are absolutely pleased that disadvantaged communities are regaining an
ability to spur economic development in
their communities. However, we hope
that the governor will see the needs, that
also exist in high-cost areas, for those
who are not necessarily sharing in the
economic boom.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Michelle N. Ho, deceased. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Peter Ho in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Peter
Ho be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent

objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four

letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
