WSL strikes Mavericks deal

Local competition part of bankruptcy case,
could become spot on Big Wave World Tour
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The World Surf League is taking the
reins of Half Moon Bays famous
Mavericks competition after striking a
deal with the beleaguered Cartel
Management in federal bankruptcy
court.
The WSL has agreed to pay
$525,000 for a multi-year permit to
host the popular event and fold it into
its Big Wave World Tour. Should the
WSL take charge, surf fans could see a
long-awaited competition as soon as
this winters 2017-18 season
assuming of course Mother Nature
cooperates.
The contest has been in cliffhanger
mode since Cartel and its subsidiary
Titans of Mavericks filed for bankrupt-
cy in January. Cartel initially suggest-
ed auctioning off its assets includ-
ing a contended multi-year permit from
the San Mateo County Harbor District
to those willing to bid a minimum
$1 million. It later called off the Los
Angeles auction and struck a deal with
WSL.
On Wednesday night, Cartel submit-
ted a proposal to a federal judge that
includes selling the Harbor District
permit, which runs through the 2020-
21 season, to the WSL, according to
court filings.

Firefighters host annual chili cook-off fundraiser

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Firefighters will be serving up some
summer spice Saturday as their annual
Chili Cook-Off enlivens San Mateos
Central Park with homemade grub, craft
brewskies, live music and a car show.
Its the ninth year the San Mateo
Firefighters Association has hosted the
fundraiser benefiting the Muscular
Dystrophy Association and its program to
send affected children to summer camp.
We try to make it a family-fun event as
well as a community event, said firefight-
er Andy Martinez, who heads the San
Mateo departments union association.
Its bringing the community together to
help support the cause to find a cure.
Aside from supporting a good cause, it
also gives locals the opportunity to
indulge in a little fire station rivalry.
Its a lot of work that goes into it but
its definitely well worth it, said San
Mateo firefighter Gino Lavezzo, who
helps organize the event. In typical fire-
fighter fashion, were all pretty competi-
tive.
This year, nine fire departments will
compete by serving up gallons upon gal-
lons of chili to cook-off attendees and
judges. crews from San Mateo, Belmont,
Foster City, Central County, Menlo Park,
Redwood City and Pacifica fire depart-
ments are expected to participate, and a
possibly a team from the California
Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection, Martinez said.
For the first time, there are two new
competitors also dedicated to public serv-
ice. A crew from San Mateos Corporation
Yard, as well as Foster Citys Community
Emergency Response Team will join in
serving up their own recipes as well.
Kingston Caf will also compete for
another year.
The San Mateo Firefighters Association will host its ninth chili cook-off Saturday as a fundraiser
benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association and its program to send affected children to
summer camp.
After loading up on supplies, firefight-
ers will start prepping Friday night as
they lead up to Saturdays competition.
San Mateo typically makes nearly 40 gal-
lons of chili as they aim to appease the
taste buds of judges and the crowd.
Its really a friendly rivalry, but every
year theres a little bit different chili from
all the different folks, so thats exciting.
There are some firefighters that are former
chefs, so they make some good stuff.
Whoever wins, Im sure itll be a spirited
event, Lavezzo said.
A team of judges will be grading the
chili recipes, and the public can also
weigh in by declaring a crowd favorite.
Keep Central Park spicy, said San
DAILY JOURNAL FILE PHOTO
Mateo Councilman Joe Goethals. The
chili cook-off is one of the most fun
events of the year and I look forward to
being a judge. Its always a tasty way to
spend the weekend.
The event has expanded over the years to
now also include a car show and a compe-
tition for home brewers. For attendees 21
and older, theyll also get to weigh in on
whose beer is the best by getting to taste
entries to the home brew competition.
An entry fee also allows attendees to
taste all the chili they want and a peoples
choice ticket, which trades for a full bowl
of their favorite recipe. For kids and the
young at heart theres also a dunk tank
and games set up on the ball field of San
Mateos Central Park. Entertainment will
be provided by Explorer and 92 South, two
local bands that each include a local fire-
fighter with musical talents. With many
firefighters also mechanically inclined,
Martinez said having a car show compo-
nent was a great fit to the annual chili
cook-off.
Martinez thanked the city for offering
Central Park as a venue, as well as Little
Lucca deli and a local Lions Club for pro-
viding food that will be available for pur-
chase. All proceeds are donated to MDA
and the goal has been to raise $50,000
toward an annual summer camp.
Firefighters have long had an affiliation
with the MDA, and many are familiar with
the Fill the Boot Campaign. But San
Mateo opted to hike it up a notch with the
chili cook-off as an effort to engage the
community in their cause.
The weeklong summer camp for children
with muscular dystrophy is not only an
incredible experience for the kids to meet
others with similar diseases, but it also
provides the families some down time,
Martinez said. Recalling one year when
San Mateo firefighters drove an engine to
the Northern California campgrounds,
Martinez said meeting the kids solidified
the importance of Saturdays event.
The camp gives these kids a chance to
feel like theyre not so different. It was
such a moving day that after I left there, I
felt like god, I really got to try to do more
for these people, Martinez said, adding
firefighters stay involved and contribute
to this event. Its a true indicator of how
they feel as we try to give back and make
these kids feel special.

Trial against former cop delayed
A former San Mateo police officer accused
of sexually assaulting five women will wait

dismiss a portion of the
charges against him,

according to prosecu-
Winchester
tors.
The district attorney said he was disap-
pointed in the delay, adding the victims
have waited years for the case to be tried.
Winchester, a 33-year-old Stockton man,
faces life behind bars if convicted of the 22
felonies alleging he sexually assaulted five
women between July 2013 and October
2015, according to prosecutors. Winchester
was employed by the San Mateo Police
Department when he allegedly raped three
female victims in San Mateo in 2015; and
was employed by the Los Rios Community
College Police Department when he report-
edly abused two victims in Sacramento in
2013, according to prosecutors.
Several of the victims were also kidnapped
and threatened, with some indicating they
feared reporting the assaults as Winchester
was a cop, according to prosecutors.
His defense attorney filed a motion to dis-
miss charges related to one of the victims,
suggesting there isnt enough evidence to
prove she did not consent to the sex, accord-
ing to prosecutors. San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge Mark Forcum on
Thursday requested more time to review the
motion and continued the hearing until
Sept. 14.
Winchester was scheduled to start jury
trial Sept. 5, however, that will be post-
poned and a new date set at his next hearing,
according to prosecutors.
Winchester remains in custody on $3.1
million bail, he has pleaded not guilty to
the charges. Shortly after the allegations

A jury trial has been scheduled for a San

A judge reviewed the

Stubblefield some murder of his friend
and then neighbor 77-year-old Benjamin
Roybal. Both men lived on Pacific Heights
Boulevard in San Bruno when they got into
a dispute over the cost of a space heater,
according to prosecutors.
During a confrontation, Stubblefield
allegedly pepper-sprayed Roybal, then shot
and killed him. He then attempted to hide
his crime by cutting up Roybals body and
trying to dissolve it in chemicals. Roybal
was eventually reported missing and weeks
later during polices investigation they dis-
covered his remains in containers at
Stubblefields home overlooking a Skyline
College parking lot April 6, 2017.
The victim, who was known on the stor-
age wars circuit, was the last person to dis-
cover a dismembered body in San Mateo
County 15 years before he himself faced a
similar and gruesome end. Coincidentally in
2002, Roybal and a former business associ-
ate discovered a missing womans corpse in
a Daly City storage locker they purchased.
Stubblefield has pleaded not guilty and
remains in custody on $10 million bail,
according to prosecutors. A pretrial confer-
ence was scheduled Jan. 29 and a jury trial is
slated to begin March 26.

State Assembly GOP leader steps
down over pressure on climate vote
By Sophia Bollag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The California
Assemblys top Republican said Thursday
he will resign his leadership post after
weeks of pressure from his party over his
support for major climate change legisla-
tion.
Assemblyman Chad Mayes of Yucca
Valley will be replaced as leader by
Assemblyman Brian Dahle of Bieber, a tiny
town in far northern California.
The 25-member Republican caucus voted
unanimously to install Dahle as leader. He
will take over after the Assembly leaves for
its final recess of the year Sept. 15.

over the debt ceiling mess

By Ken Thomas and Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Fanning the flames of
GOP discord, President Donald Trump
accused Republican congressional leaders
Thursday of botching efforts to avoid an
unprecedented default on the national debt.
Could have been so easy-now a mess!
Trump tweeted.
The presidents sharp words underscored
the perilous state of play as Congress heads
into the fall without a clear plan to take care
of its most important piece of business: If it
does not increase the nations $19.9 tril-
lion borrowing limit, the government could
be unable to pay its bills, jarring financial
markets and leading to other harsh conse-
quences.
Trump unleashed his latest criticism of
the GOPs congressional leadership in a
series of morning tweets that also included a
rebuke of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
for his inability to get the Senate to repeal
the Obama health care law. The harsh posts
were fresh evidence of the presidents fray-
ing relations with fellow Republicans just
when the White House and Capitol Hill
most need to be working in sync.
Critiquing GOP legislative strategy,
Trump tweeted that he had asked McConnell
and House Speaker Paul Ryan to attach the
legislation increasing the borrowing limit
a toxic vote for many Republicans to
popular military veterans legislation that
he recently signed. The idea was floated in
July but never gained steam in Congress.
Trump said that because legislators didnt
follow that strategy, now we have a big
deal with Dems holding them up (as usual)
on Debt Ceiling approval.
Republicans control both Congress and
the White House, placing the burden on
them to ensure the government doesnt
default. In the past, Democrats largely pro-
vided the votes for debt limit increases.
The Treasury Department has said the debt
ceiling needs to be raised by Sept. 29 to
avoid potential default on government obli-
gations including Social Security and inter-
est payments.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, playing down
Trumps notion of a debt limit mess, said
flatly that Congress would pass legislation
to make sure that we pay our debts.
Im not worried thats not going to get
done because its going to get done, he said
during an appearance in Washington state.
McConnell likewise said earlier in the
week that there was zero chance, no
chance, we wont raise the debt ceiling.
The presidents latest broadsides against
members of his own party came one day
after the White House and McConnell issued
statements pledging to work together.

More evacuations as Hurricane
Harvey steers for Texas coast
By Michael Graczyk
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Harvey intensified into a
hurricane Thursday and steered for the Texas
coast with the potential for up to 3 feet of
rain, 125 mph winds and 12-foot storm
surges in what could be the fiercest hurri-
cane to hit the United States in almost a
dozen years.
Forecasters labeled Harvey a life-threat-
ening storm that posed a grave risk.
Millions of people braced for a prolonged
battering that could swamp dozens of coun-
ties more than 100 miles inland.
Landfall was predicted for late Friday or
early Saturday between Port OConnor and
Matagorda Bay, a 30-mile (48-kilometer)
stretch of coastline about 70 miles (110
kilometers) northeast of Corpus Christi
Harvey grew quickly Thursday from a
tropical depression into a Category 1 hurri-
cane. Fueled by warm Gulf of Mexico
waters, it was projected to become a major
Category 3 hurricane. The last storm of that
category to hit the U.S. was Hurricane
Wilma in October 2005 in Florida.
Superstorm Sandy, which pummeled New
York and New Jersey in 2012, never had the
high winds and had lost tropical status by
the time it struck. But it was devastating
without formally being called a major hurri-
cane.
Were forecasting continuing intensifi-
cation right up until landfall, National
Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis
Feltgen said.
All seven Texas counties on the coast
from Corpus Christi to the western end of
Galveston Island have ordered mandatory
evacuations of tens of thousands of resi-
dents from all low-lying areas. In four of
those counties, officials ordered their entire
Hostage situation ends in
Charleston after man shot
By Mic Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, S.C. A fired dishwash-
er shot and killed a chef and held a small
number of people hostage for about three
hours before he was shot by police at a
crowded restaurant in a tourist-heavy area
of downtown Charleston, South Carolina,
on Thursday, authorities and one of the
restaurants owners said.
The hostages were freed with no injuries,
Mayor John Tecklenburg said. The shoot-
ing took place at Virginias restaurant on
the usually crowded King Street, a line of
shops and nice dining that caters to both
tourists and residents in South Carolinas
largest and most historic city.
Tecklenburg quickly said the shooting
was the act of a disgruntled employee and
not a terrorist attack or a hate crime in a
city where nine black church members were
killed by a white man two years ago.
This was a tragic case of a disturbed
individual, I think, with a history of some
mental health challenges, Tecklenburg
said at a news conference.
Authorities did not release the names of
the gunman or the employee he killed, and
would not specify the number of hostages
who had been held.
The shooting was reported shortly after
noon Thursday.
Peter Siegert, 73, and his son Peter
Siegert IV, 45, were quoted by The Post and
Courier of Charleston as saying that just
after several waitresses and kitchen work-
ers walked out the door without saying a
word, a man in an apron with a gun came
out of the kitchen and locked the front
door.

mer deputy executive director of the Texas

The result of over-building
By Jon Nadelberg
M
any people are upset about
recent changes on the
Peninsula. More housing,
businesses and crowds. Changes. But
change has existed since World War II
and long before.
In the 1960s, we lived in Los
Angeles around dairy farms and
orchards. Theyve all since been
paved over, gone by the 1970s.
When my sister lived in San Jose in
the 70s, all those farms were being
paved over. It was very strange there,
with all the former orchards now
empty elds with big wide express-
ways and U-turn signals in the middle
of nowhere.
In the 1980s, house prices were rel-
atively cheap compared to now, but
still not cheap for back then. We also
had many more middle-class workers
then, which now are lost. But their
disappearance is not unique to
California. All across the country,
manufacturing jobs have been
shipped overseas, and people have
been left with nothing.
Now we have tech, which has kept
the local economy rolling for the
new and smaller middle class. But if
you depended on jobs that historical-
ly went to middle-class people, you
will now not get paid enough, if you
can even nd a job. However, its not
just jobs being shipped to other
countries that has caused this.
Another cause was the closure of mil-
itary bases in the mid-90s. All those
jobs evaporated overnight, and were
not replaced.
Foster City itself is part of all this.
It did not exist before the 1970s. Its
creation was an explosion of growth
that was very intense. Imagine the
Peninsula with a much lower popula-
tion, suddenly coping with a new city
of 30,000. Not great.

I grew up around

around San Luis
Obispo. The state
is radically differ-
ent now than it was
in the 1960s, and
it was radically dif-
ferent in the 1960s
than it was in 1910, another 50 years
back. Its been exploding since
1849, and all along the way, people
bemoaned the new folks coming in.
In the 1930s, people complained
about the Okies coming in to escape
the Dust Bowl. After World War II,
people complained about the new
people coming to form the suburbs.
People now complain about tech
workers. Its always the same.
The state in general is in a lot bet-
ter shape than most, if not all, states.
We have a strong local economy that
is overheating. Yes, we have lost a
lot of middle class, but its not due to
the location. Its a general issue
across the country. Do we have a lot
of poor people here? Yes. We have a
lot of everyone here. About 15 per-
cent of the national population. So
complaining about how this state is
losing its middle class is pretty much
a non-starter. Its everywhere.
But what has gone on in the last 30
years? Like always, lots more people
coming here. And the state, along
we will see house prices come down
with developers, seem to think that
all we have to do is keep building
more housing. After all, its worked
so far. But thats becoming very unre-
alistic. More housing does nothing,
because more people keep coming in.
Further, while we build more housing,
we are not building out the necessary
infrastructure to support them. You

Why? Because this is where the
jobs and money are. Thats not the
worst problem in the world, but the
answer is not to build more housing.
The answer is to stop bringing peo-
ple to the area. Stop building. Stop
building houses, stop building
ofces. We can never build enough,
and our roads are already becoming
crowded at 4 a.m. At what point do
the even biggest housing advocates
and other development interests start
to understand that this cannot work?
Four-thousand more houses in
Brisbane? Why not? Why not
10,000? One-hundred-thousand? Lets
build and build. Meanwhile, no new
sources of water, schools, roads or
grocery stores. Just the houses and
people. Who cares what problems
this causes? Neither the developers
nor housing advocates. They seem to
not care what issues arise from what
they insist has to be done.
Then when it is full, and we have
24-hour trafc jams, and the air is
lthy and people start moving away
because life has become miserable,
because weve destroyed what makes
this area desirable. People will no
longer wish to live here. This will be
the end result of over-building and
not caring.
That is exactly what we are creating
now, and it is exactly why we need to
stop.

Looking for answers
M
any of us are concerned with a very small seg-
ment of our population and what exactly it
means to us as a society and how we act, or
react.
Its difcult to discern if there is an actual resurgence of
white supremacy and neo-Nazism in our nation or if there
is a surge of attention, or rather more attention based on
how the groups have been met with violence.
I have two main points Id like to make, but I do not
contend to have the answers as I am among the many
searching for meaning. One is about violence, the other
about statues.
The events in
Charlottesville are abhorrent
and disappointing, but some
could argue something of that
magnitude was bound to hap-
pen since tensions have risen
for years. But what now?
It has been argued that
ignoring such hate groups is
the best policy and it is one to
which I adhere. By giving
them attention, we are playing
right into their game. They
want confrontation, they want
to be seen as victims of oth-
ers so they will have a con-
stantly evolving symbol around which to rally and grow.
By cutting off the oxygen of attention, the numbers
will diminish, it has been argued. I tend to agree.
Besides, non-violent protest is a powerful tool and
allows those employing it to stay above the fray of com-
mitting crimes against others. It is a civilized reaction to
deplorable acts. Engaging in violence not only feeds into
the hate groups beliefs and desires, it is not productive.
And it provides fodder for the continued deplorable acts of
others and even provides a reason to defend them by
some.
And yet many of us feel compelled to do something
since the beliefs of these hate groups is anathema to so
many of our core values. I do like the idea of separate ral-
lies to profess unity and love. Perhaps at some point there
can be further dialogue fashioned out of such events. But
not if anger is the rst emotion. And not if people are not
allowed to speak their minds. That is a main tenet of our
nation, part of the very rst amendment in our
Constitution.
My second point is related and it is about statues. We are
at a very interesting point in the history of our nation.
The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was consid-
ered for decades to be a plateau of a mountain that was dif-
cult for our nation to climb. Now, it appears to be a
mere stepping stone. Calls for equality in many new
forms have arisen and collectively, overall, we as a peo-
ple have responded properly. Yet change is difcult and
takes time to absorb. It also manifests itself in different
ways that are unclear in their efcacy. Statues are one
example.
Upon visiting a Southern city while I was in college, I
was largely surprised at the amounts of statues overall,
but also those who commemorated Confederate gures. I
can see why many would want them to be taken down.
This should be done in a deliberate and thoughtful public
process and consideration should be provided as to how
to place them elsewhere with additional historical con-
text. That way, they are not seen as celebrations but
rather portals to history.
As a lifelong student of history, hearing some contend
that memorials to Jefferson or Washington should also be
taken down makes me sad and concerned. Perhaps there
can be text additions to address concerns but too often we
look toward the past with a present perspective, which is
unfair to those living in that particular time. I do not
believe our Founding Fathers are demi-gods, but I do not
think them scoundrels. Rather, they are people who did
the best they could to wrest a tremendous and enduring
democracy out of a monarchy and created a constitutional
framework that allowed for modications as time went
on.
I wonder where this current statue fervor will end.
Taking down statues of nations founders is tantamount to
revolution. We cannot go there.
We can scour history and nd questionable activity by
nearly everyone. The list is long and knows no bounds,
but perhaps a more productive activity would be to nd
new examples of commemoration. Harvey Milk and the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. are among those recently
acknowledged but there are countless others. By explor-
ing their stories and presenting them in a public forum,
we can provide a portal to learning for all. Instead of
angst, we can nd productive uses of our time by explor-
ing our history and engaging with each other in produc-
tive and civil dialogue. It just might lead us to a better
place and the answers for which we are looking.

Hurting stocks have been wor-

Washington and abroad. Doubts
are rising about how much help
the Republican-led White House

are coming up that could damage
the economy, including a vote to
avoid a default on the national
debt, though most investors
expect calamity to be averted.
This week has also featured
lighter trading than usual, with
ence to send messages to the finan-

Ben Bernanke, signaled a new
round of Fed bond purchases in

let markets know that more rate
hikes were coming. The Jackson

The conference occurs as the Fed
is in the midst of gradually and

Wells Fargo wants lawsuits

ATLANTA A group of Wells
Fargo customers who say they were
victims of unfair overdraft prac-

court, but the bank wants the dis-

Class-action lawsuits filed
around the country have accused
Wells Fargo of changing the order
of debit card transactions from
highest dollar amount to lowest
dollar amount to unfairly
increase the number of transac-
tions eligible for overdraft penal-

For example, lets say a customer
has $100 in an account. The cus-
tomer first makes four transactions
of $20 and then, later that day, has
a $90 transaction. If the transac-
tions are taken in chronological

RAMALLAH, West Bank Presidential adviser Jared

Kushner met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on
Thursday to try to jumpstart moribund peace talks, but after
months without progress the Mideast envoy faces growing
skepticism on the Palestinian side.
With no clear vision for peace outlined by the adminis-
tration and domestic issues distracting President Donald
Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, expectations for the
new peace push are low.
The Palestinians initially welcomed Trumps election,
but they have since grown impatient with what they say is
a failure by the U.S. president to present a roadmap for
peace. Specifically, they are seeking a halt to Israeli settle-
ment construction on occupied lands, and an American com-
mitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian
state as part of a peace deal with Israel.
If the U.S. team doesnt bring answers to our questions
this time, we are going to look into our options because the
status quo is not working for our interests, said Ahmad
Majdalani, an aide to Abbas.
It was not clear whether Kushner offered any clarity during
his three-hour meeting with Abbas. Nabil Abu Rdeneh,
Abbas spokesman, called the meeting positive, without
discussing details, and said the Palestinian leader had reiter-
ated his desire for an American commitment to a Palestinian
state.
We greatly appreciate the efforts of U.S. President
Donald Trump who pledged from the beginning that he is
going to work for the ultimate deal, Abbas said ahead of
the meeting. We know things are difficult and complicated,
but nothing is impossible with good intentions.
Kushner relayed Trumps hope and optimism for a better
future for Palestinians and Israelis.
Trump took office with hopes of striking what he calls
the ultimate deal between Israelis and Palestinians a
goal that has eluded administrations before his dogged by
the same intractable issues. But he has since given few
details of his vision for peace, managing to frustrate both
sides.
Kushner, Trumps chief Middle East adviser and his son-
in-law, met Netanyahu in Tel Aviv earlier Thursday before
traveling to Ramallah later in the day to meet with Abbas.
Kushner is expected to return to the U.S. on Friday.

Thai court to issue arrest
warrant for ex-PM, delays verdict
BANGKOK Thailands Supreme Court said Friday it will
issue an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Yingluck
Shinawatra after she failed to show up for
a contentious trial verdict in which she
could face a 10-year prison term for
alleged negligence in overseeing a
money-losing rice subsidy program.
A judge read out a statement saying that
Yinglucks lawyers had informed the
court she could not attend because of an
earache. But the judge said the court did
not believe the excuse because theres no
Yingluck medical verification, and the court would
Shinawatra issue a warrant for her arrest as a result.
A verdict had been expected to be delivered within hours in
the tense trial, in which Yingluck is accused of negligence in
overseeing the rice subsidy program that cost the state bil-
lions of dollars. The hearing was postponed to Sept. 27.
Yingluck has pleaded innocent, and decries the charges as
politically motivated. If convicted, she has the right to
appeal.
The case is the latest chapter in a decade-long struggle by
the nations elite minority to crush the powerful political
machine founded by Yinglucks brother, Thaksin

exile. He has not commented on his sisters case.

BEIRUT As Damascus reverses
military losses in much of the coun-
trys strategically important west,
and foreign states cut support for
rebel forces, diplomats from
Washington to Riyadh are asking rep-
resentatives of Syrias opposition to
come to terms with President Bashar
Assads political survival.
The countrys civil war has crossed
the halfway point of its seventh year
and Assad and his allies are now in
control of Syrias four largest cities
and its Mediterranean coast. With the
help of Russian air power and Iranian-
sponsored militias, pro-government
forces are marching steadily across
the energy-rich Homs province to
reach the Euphrates River valley.
Western and regional rebel patrons,
currently more focused on advancing
their own interests rather than accom-
plishing regime change in Damascus,
are shifting their alliances and have
ceased calls on Assad to step down.
There is no conceivable military
alignment thats going to be able to
remove him, said former U. S.
Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford,
now a fellow at the Middle East
Institute in Washington, D. C.
Everyone, including the U.S., has
recognized that Assad is staying.
The war has settled into a familiar,
lower-intensity grind, with the Syrian
government now in control of most
of the populated west while Islamic

and south. Russia-

de-escalation zones
Bashar Assad have significantly
reduced violence in
rebel-held territory although fighting
continues to rage in some areas.
With another round of U.N. mediat-
ed peace talks on the horizon in
Geneva, the oppositions chief repre-
sentative group, the High
Negotiations Committee, is being
told by even its closest patrons it
risks irrelevance if it does not adapt
to the new realities.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-
Jubeir, according to an interlocutor
briefed on the matter, told the opposi-
tion it was time to formulate a new
vision.
He didnt explicitly say Bashar
(Assad) is going to stay, but if you
read between the lines, if you say
there needs to be a new vision, what
is the most contentious issue out
there? Its whether Bashar stays, said
the interlocutor, who mediates
between the opposition and state cap-
itals and requested anonymity so as
not to compromise his work.
It is a difficult pill to swallow for
the opposition, which has been hold-
ing a series of meetings as part of a
months-long stock-taking process in
which its members are expected to
leadership.
However, at a two-day meeting in
Riyadh this week that was meant to
try and bridge differences between the
three main political opposition
groups and come up with a unified
vision based on the new political and
military reality, divisions were once
again on full display.
The oppositions chief representa-
tive group, the Saudi-based High
Negotiations Committee (HNC), pub-
licly held on to its position that
Assad must step down before any
political transition. In a statement, it
said the opposition group known as
the Moscow Platform insisted
Assads departure must not be a pre-
condition for talks.
We refuse any role for Assad during
a transitional period, insisted
spokesman Ahmad Ramadan of the
National Syrian Coalition, the lead-
ing bloc in the HNC, which has
always staked out a maximalist posi-
tion against Assad.
But internally, there is talk of
restructuring the HNC to give weight
to the more conciliatory voices
among the opposition representa-
tives based in Cairo and Moscow that
groups within the HNC have long
derided as the internal opposition
for their perceived cozy relations with
Damascus.
It comes at the urging of the U.N.s
top Syria envoy, Staffan de Mistura,
who spent much of the last Geneva
talks trying to reconcile the HNC and
the Cairo and Moscow groups.
Colombian TV network
Caracol taken off Venezuelan airwaves
CARACAS, Venezuela Colombian TV network Caracol
has been taken off the air in Venezuela a day after President
Nicolas Maduro delivered a scathing rebuke of the neighbor-
ing nations media, joining a growing list of news outlets
that have been blocked by his government.
Caracol News director Juan Roberto Vargas told
Colombian radio that the channels coverage of ousted chief
prosecutor Luisa Ortega Diaz appears to have been a break-
ing point that led to its removal Wednesday.
Colombian news channel RCN was also blocked from
broadcasting on a Venezuelan local cable operator, though
its signal remained active Thursday on DirecTV.
They make these decisions unilaterally without any type
of discussion, Vargas said.
Maduro regularly accuses foreign news outlets of spread-
ing a false narrative about Venezuelas government intended
to pave the way for a supposed U.S. military intervention.
Since the war in Iraq, we have not seen anything as sick-
ening, Maduro said Tuesday at a news conference with for-
eign journalists, singling out Caracol, Fox News and the
BBC for what he considers biased coverage.
Earlier this year Venezuelan authorities shut down CNN en

report about fraudulent passports that drew angry criticism
from officials. In all, about a half-dozen foreign networks
have been blocked, including Colombias El Tiempo and
NTN24 and Todo Noticias of Argentina.

themselves from other Germans by only speaking English
with each other.

allegedly hanging out in Berlins chic downtown cafes and

ment next to former Chancellor Helmut Kohl. The caption
in English read, Jens, we looked like hipsters long

Serras looking to reload

After graduating what was arguably the
most exciting player tandem in program
history, the Serra Padres set out to do it
again bring home West Catholic Athletic
League and Central Coast Section champi-
onships.
Returning to the state championship
game would make for a welcome trifecta.
We set out to win the WCAL and CCS
championships, Serra head coach Patrick
Walsh said. Thats our top two goals. The
way we set up our schedule, we could very
well be 0-3 to start the season but I want
to set the bar if we have banners hanging
in our gym that were in a good football
program.
Indeed, rough starts in non-league play
can still equate to championships. Such was
the case last year when the Padres dropped
their first three non-league matchups, as
well as their WCAL opener to Valley
Christian to start the year 0-4.
From there, Serra went on a 10-game win-
ning streak, rallying to share a three-way
co-WCAL championship with St. Francis
and Valley Christian, before claiming the
programs fourth all-time CCS title, and
third in the past six years.
That was the closing chapter of the Leki
Nunn-TC Lavulo era though.
Nunn was a one-man show on offense.
Despite missing three regular-season games
due to injury, the multi-faceted quarterback
still became the first Serra player ever to
surpass the 4, 000-mark in total career
yards, breaking Jesse Freitas 48-year mark,
with 4,266 total yards.
Lavulo had a similarly explosive presence
on defense and, despite missing half the
year due to injury, was still the deserving
choice as the WCALs Most Valuable
Linebacker.
Despite graduating its two superstars
though, Serra still returns a core of players
that helped the team to a CIF Northern

Mayweather is money, and McGregor must get rough and

this should be easy money creative to upset Mayweather
By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a
winner the day he signed the contract to come
out of retirement to ght Conor McGregor in
what could be the richest ght ever.
Hell be a winner in the ring Saturday night,
too, capping a career in which he won all 50 of
his professional ghts and helped sell more
than $1 billion in pay-per-
views.
Theres not a lot to ana-
lyze about a ght that is as
much spectacle as it is
competition. The greatest
defensive ghter of his
time, Mayweather simply
needs to do the kind of
things that won him 49
Floyd previous ghts to beat a
Mayweather UFC star in his rst box-
ing bout.
Unless he suddenly gets old in the ring,
Mayweather can then laugh all the way to the
bank.
Hell make some $200 million, and it will
be easy money. McGregor will be exposed for
what he is a very good MMA ghter who
doesnt have enough experience in a boxing
ring to beat a top 10 ghter, much less some-
one with Mayweathers skills.
It could go quick, or Mayweather could carry
him for 12 ugly rounds. Either way,
Mayweather will be in charge in a ght that
will have a lot of people feeling buyers
remorse Sunday morning.
Never mind that hes 40 and trained at some
very odd hours for his rst ght in nearly two
years. Forget that he was hosting late night
meet-and-greets at his strip club when his time
may have been better used resting up for a
younger and bigger opponent.
Theres a reason oddsmakers started this out
at 11-1 odds favoring Mayweather. And while
the hype has narrowed the odds quite a bit, it
hasnt changed the underlying dynamics of
what might happen when the two step in the
ring together Saturday night on the Las Vegas
Strip.
McGregor has vowed to knock him out with-
in two rounds. Mayweather is so unconcerned
that he says hes not going to run and hide.
Im coming straight ahead, Mayweather
said. So he doesnt have anything to worry
about.
Actually, McGregor has a lot to worry about.
Finding Mayweather to hit is at the top of the
list because even if Mayweather ghts in the
center of the ring he has such good reexes and
movement that McGregor could nd himself
swinging at thin air most of the time.
And, lets face it, if Mayweather wants to
embarrass McGregor or force him into a
foul of some sort hes got the skillset to do
just that.
This isnt MMA, where ghters often have
to defend so much against kicks and take-
downs that they leave their chins unguarded.
This is boxing, where McGregor has only his
two hands and nothing else that Mayweather
hasnt seen in his long career.
Even if Mayweather is not known as a big
puncher, his punches add up. Remember, it was
Mayweather who asked for the smaller 8-ounce
gloves, so maybe its not all talk when his
camp says hes looking to stop McGregor.
When he gets hit hes going to nd out its
totally different, Mayweather said this week.
The brittle hands, they keep saying that, but
when I come across his head hell nd out its history.
totally different.
Its Mayweathers last ght and he wants to
go out with a bang.
Hell do it by making easy work against a
ghter who really has no business being in the
ring with him in the rst place.

LAS VEGAS Just 20 months ago, a for-
mer plumber from Dublin fought a fearsome
superstar who hadnt lost in a decade. Conor
McGregor talked his way into a big-money
showdown, but he had to back up his boasts
against Jose Aldo, one of the greatest fighters
in his sport.
McGregor finished the UFC featherweight
champion in 13 seconds
with one devastating left
hand.
Floyd Mayweather pres-
ents an entirely different
challenge when McGregor
steps in the Vegas ring
Saturday night. In his pro-
fessional boxing debut,
McGregor must figure out
Conor how to beat Mayweather
McGregor at his own game some-
thing the best boxers in the world have never
done.
McGregor is a massive underdog, and
deservedly so. But stop pretending the
improbable doesnt happen in combat sports,
particularly when the self-proclaimed Mystic
Mac is involved.
To declare McGregor cant possibly win
this fight displays more arrogance than, say,
spending every night at a strip club the week
beforehand, as Mayweather is currently
doing.
Of course the hard-hitting Irishman has a
chance and there are several tactics he could
employ to pull the biggest upset in boxing
The people who dont believe it dont
know anything about fighting, said UFC
President Dana White, who admittedly has a
slight bias here. This isnt going to be a
boxing match. This is going to be a fight.
Its also a fight between a 29-year-old
southpaw in his prime and a 40 1/2-year-old
veteran who hasnt fought in nearly two years
and doesnt particularly want to be here, as he
acknowledged repeatedly Wednesday.
Mayweather isnt the fighter he once was, and
his competitive fire is dwarfed by his need for
the mammoth paycheck from this endeavor.
But how does an MMA fighter with no com-
petitive boxing experience since childhood
take on a 21-year pro veteran with world
championships in five divisions and
arguably the most brilliant defensive skills in
the history of the sport?
He gets in Mayweathers face, both before
and during the fight.
He charges forward from the opening bell
and forces Mayweather to think defensively
all night.
He throws hundreds of punches from every
angle with the goal of setting up the vicious
left hand that has turned out the lights on
MMA opponents.
And if none of that is successful, McGregor
could bend the Marquess of Queensberry rules
to their breaking point in hopes of goading
Mayweather into a brawl.
None of it is guaranteed to work. But its
definitely worth a shot.
Looking back at Mayweathers history is a
daunting task, given his 49-0 record, but it
contains clues for tactics that could magnify
McGregors chances.
For instance, McGregor could amplify the
strategy used by Marcos Maidana and Jose
Luis Castillo. Both boxers pressed
Mayweather constantly, using roughhouse
tactics on the border of legality, and bom-
barded Mayweather with punches, many from
unorthodox angles.
Mayweather won both fights, but definitely
looked uncomfortable for long stretches.
McGregor doesnt have the hand speed of
those professional boxers, but he should

Plenty of familiar faces to kick off football season
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 2017 high school football season kicks
off tonight and like a good buffet, there is plen-
ty from which to choose. You can either follow
your team, or, if you want to get a taste of
what other teams in the Central Coast Section
have to offer, that is available as well.
Oftentimes, teams will agree to a two-year,
home-and-home commitment so in the case of
2017, there are several rematches from the 2016
opener. So lets take a look at some opening-
night fare:
Best bets
Serra (10-5) at
St. Marys-Stockton (14-2)
7 p.m. Saturday
A pair of Northern California heavyweights
will meet in the season opener for the second
year in a row.
Last years opener was a disaster for the
Padres, who were absolutely pummeled by the
Rams, 63-35.
Things turned out all right for both squads,
however. Serra, as we all know, turned things
around, winning a share of the West Catholic
title, beating Mitty 37-24 for the CCS Open
Division II crown, winning the 2-A Nor Cal
crown 49-26 over Sanger and a spot in the state
2-A championship game, losing 42-40 to
Sierra Canyon.
St. Marys also went on to win its league title,

members and were sent anonymously to the

followed by winning the Sac-Joaquin Division
I and 1-AA Nor Cal titles before losing to
Cathedral-San Diego, 28-25, in overtime in the
state championship game.
Bellarmine (7-5) at
Menlo-Atherton (12-3), 7 p.m. Friday
If a team truly wants to test itself, there is no
better team to play than one from the WCAL.
M-A, the defending CCS Open Division I and 3-
AA Nor Cal champion, will waste little time in
testing itself against the Bells.
This will be the third meeting in a year
between the two teams. Bellarmine, which fin-
ished fourth in the WCAL last season, beat the
Bears 34-20 in the 2016 opener, with M-A turn-
ing the tables and beating the Bells 21-0 in the
CCS title game.
Saratoga (5-6) at
Half Moon Bay (11-2), 7 p.m. Friday
Dont let Saratogas record or its sixth-place
finish in its division last season fool you, the
Falcons are no pushovers.
Despite finishing sixth out of seven teams in
the Santa Clara Valley Athletic Leagues De Anza
Division, the Falcons still earned a CCS bid,
losing in the first round to Palma.
Half Moon Bay is very familiar with how
tough Saratoga is as the Cougars slipped past
the Falcons 27-26 in the 2016 opener.
Everyone knows what Half Moon Bay went
on to do last season: win its second straight
CCS championship.
We absolutely prohibit any practices
that place our students physical and mental
health in jeopardy, Boasberg said in a writ-
ten statement. We do not and will not allow
any situation in which a student is forced to
perform an activity or exercise beyond the
point at which they express their desire to
stop.
The East High School principal, an assis-
tant principal, the cheer coach, an assistant
cheer coach and a district lawyer were placed
on leave during the investigation, Boasberg
said.
The Denver Police Department said child-
abuse detectives were investigating.
Jim Lord, director of the Cheerleading
Coaches and Administration Association,
told the station the videos show practices
that are outdated and damaging.
Lord said forcing athletes into painful
stretching used to happen decades ago. But
he said coaches are now required to learn safe
stretching practices.
South City (3-7) at
San Mateo (7-4), 7 p.m. Friday
Its always fun when PAL teams get together
from different divisions for a non-league game.
The crowd and teams always seem a little more
amped to grab bragging rights.
This matchup is one of two PAL intra-divi-
sion games on the seasons opening weekend.
San Mateo handled South City in last year
opener, 41-28, on its way to the Lake Division
crown. The Bearcats would lose their next two
games before going on a six-game winning
streak. They ended the season on a down note,
however, losing the Little Big Game to
Burlingame, 42-7, before being bounced in the
first round of the playoffs by Westmont, 38-14.
South City struggled at the beginning and end
of the season in 2016. The Warriors opened
with three straight losses and finished the sea-
son losing four of their last five, salvaging the
season with a tight 28-27 win over El Camino
in the Bell Game.
Capuchino (7-3) at
Woodside (5-5), 7:30 p.m. Friday
Another intra-league matchup and another
rematch from last years opener, a game
Woodside won 19-0.
The Mustangs would recover and go on to
have a solid season, finishing second in the
Lake Division. The win for the Wildcats jump-
started a four-game winning streak to start the
season but, for the second season in a row,
Friday Aug. 25, 2017 15
Woodsides year ended with a thud as they lost
five of their last six.
Mission-SF (8-5) at
Jefferson (5-5), 7 p.m. Friday
You may not find a more high-scoring game
this weekend than this one. Jefferson beat
Mission 43-20 last season as the Grizzlies went
on to average 27 points per game on their way
to a third-place finish in the Lake Division.
Mission, however, was just getting started.
The Bears would go on to lose three more games
including losses to Menlo and San Mateo
before beating Mills. That kicked off an eight-
game winning streak. They won the San
Francisco public school league title, but fell to
Lincoln in the San Francisco Section champi-
onship game. Mission averaged 34 points per
game last season.

California Division 2A championship and

We got to the championship game for a
lot of reasons but it wasnt because we had
like 22 senior starters, Walsh said. And
thats a good thing.
Even with the presence of Nunn last sea-
son, his regular-season injury still allowed
the Padres to establish a quarterback of the
future in Luke Bottari. Now a junior, Bottari
started the 2016 season as Serras third-
string QB. But current senior Jack Damelio
was lost in the season opener to a shoulder
injury and, after Nunn battled through recur-
ring back problems, Bottari was thrust into
the limelight.
All of a sudden Luke is in there and doing
a noble job, Walsh said.
After passing for 1,123 yards last season,
Bottari is slated to get a majority of the
snaps to start the year. The junior will helm
the Padres in the spread offense, but the now

For the record, Adamkiewicz threw for
1,783 yards as a senior in 2015, but his pre-
vious season as a junior racked up 3,310
passing yards to lead Christopher to its first
ted 26 receptions for 415 yards last season.
But it was slot receiver Shane Villaroman
who emerged in 2016 to etch his name in
the Serra record books, becoming the first
player in program history to tab quadruple-
digit receiving numbers, setting a new Serra
single-season mark with 1, 055 yards.
Entering his senior season, Villaroman
ranks eighth among career receiving lead-
ers, with Alex Biddles (2002-03) record of

his freshman season.
Guard Api Mane (Menlo-Atherton) and

something of a new addition as he played in
just two games last season, suffering a sea-
son-ending knee injury in Week 2 against
Sierra.
Once we get our offensive line going,
everyone else is going to shine, Owens
said.

corps, but sophomores Dorrzell Hicks

presence in the defensive middle last sea-
son, and even spelled Lavulo while he was
injured. Lahlouh lists as a defensive back,
but profiles more as a middle backer as well.
Complementing the two will be senior
Raymond Redman.
While the Padres would ultimately love to
again reach the state championship game,
Walsh said a grueling 15-game season 10

He should also attempt to show Mayweather
things hes never seen before in the ring, and
his decision not to hire a boxing trainer for
the bout might actually help in that regard.
The UFC star should switch stances and try
just about any punch, including the looping
overhand shots rarely seen in high-level box-
ing matches because theyre easily countered,
but common in MMA bouts because of the dis-
SPORTS
tance they create from the opponent.
If McGregor gets hit, so be it. Every punch
absorbed is the price for a chance to reply.
McGregor believes Mayweather made a mis-
take by agreeing to fight in 8-ounce gloves
instead of the typical 10-ounce pillows, but
he shouldnt rely solely on the unicorn one-
punch knockout. While McGregor has defi-
nite power, only the biggest Mac homer
would think its something Mayweather has-
nt seen from boxers and Mayweather has
shown a solid chin and excellent recovery
skills on the few occasions he has been hit.
Instead, the key is to use that energy to get
in a good position to unload the left hand or a
combination through Mayweathers shifty
defense. McGregor could repeatedly tie up
Mayweather and attempt to land shots in the
clinch.
These things could all unsettle Mayweather,
who typically doesnt face trouble unless he
takes a voluntary risk by moving into danger-
ous areas to throw combinations, or getting
angry and brawling a bit.
And therein is another potential route for
McGregor. Call it the Aldo Strategy: If he can
get Mayweather feeling both confident and
angry, theres a chance Mayweather will let
down his defense enough to attempt to finish
McGregor in brute style and maybe
McGregor will have an opening.

calling Mayweather a broken man and vow-
ing to finish him within two rounds. Nobody
knows whether McGregor actually believes
his bluster, but the Irishman has defiantly
vowed he will win.

Slam four or five years ago, said Martina
Navratilova, an 18-time major winner whose
last came at age 33.
Great to see her still playing, Navratilova
said. I know when she first came on the tour,
she said both sisters said Theres no
way Im going to play in my late 20s or 30s.
No way! And here they are. ... And how lucky
are we?
As the U.S. Open starts Monday, the older
Williams sister might be the closest thing to
a true title contender among any of the host
countrys men or women. She is, after all, the
only player from the United States in either
draw to have won a major singles title. Venus
Williams owns seven in all, including at
Flushing Meadows in 2000 and 2001.
A look at some of the other U.S. players
worth keeping tabs on at the years last Grand
Slam tournament:
Madison Keys
Best U.S. Open: 4th
Round, Ranked: 16th,
Age: 22, Born: Illinois,
Based: Florida.
Why she has a chance to
win the thing: Big serve
Cici Bellis and forehand can dominate
most opponents.
What could stop her: Missed time because of
two procedures on her left wrist.
Cici Bellis
Best U.S. Open: 3rd Round, Ranked: 36th,
Age: 18, Born: California, Based: California.
Why she has a chance to reach the second
week: Showed off smooth strokes and fearless
attitude last year.
What could stop her: A lack of experience at
big events or a bad-luck draw are about it.
Coco Vandeweghe
Best U.S. Open: 2nd Round, Ranked: 21st,
Age: 25, Born: New York,
Based: California.
Why she has a chance to
make a deep run: Winning
second-highest percentage
of service points on tour;
new coach Pat Cash has
helped.
What could stop her:
Lost in the first or second
John Isner
round in all eight previous
appearances at Flushing Meadows.
John Isner
Best U.S. Open: Quarterfinals, Ranked:
14th, Age: 32, Born: North Carolina, Based:
Florida.
Why he has a chance to make a deep run: His
serves. Simple as that.
What could stop him: His returns. Simple as
that.
Jack Sock
Best U.S. Open: 4th Round, Ranked: 17th,
Age: 24, Born: Nebraska, Based: Kansas.
Why he has a chance to make a deep run: Has
the classic 1-2 of serve-forehand and capable
of feeding off a supportive crowd.
What could stop him: Never reached a Grand
Slam quarterfinal and only 3-3 at majors this
year.
Sam Querrey
Best U.S. Open: 4th Round, Ranked: 21st,
Age: 29, Born: California, Based: California.
Why he has a chance to win the thing: First
major semifinal at Wimbledon gives him con-
fidence; his serve can carry him far.
What could stop him: Rarely shows up in
New York, with first-round losses the past two
years.
Frances Tiafoe
Best U.S. Open: 1st Round, Ranked: 71st,
Age: 19, Born: Maryland, Based: Florida.
Why he has a chance to reach the second
week: Has an all-around game and a recent
hard-court win over top-10 foe Alexander
Zverev.
What could stop him: Not a lot of past suc-
cess on big stages; 2-6 at all major tourna-
ments.

LEAP! sets
the barre low
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An animated Flashdance meets Cinderella, LEAP! days go from not knowing what first position
isnt so much bad as it is bewildering. The feature about an
orphan girl who dreams of dancing professionally is set
very vaguely in the 1880s, in Brittany and Paris, and con-
tains nods to that general time like an under-construc-
tion Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower. (Never mind that
when work started on the Eiffel Tower in 1887, the Statue
of Liberty was already perched in the New York Harbor).
But the characters talk like its present day (or in some
cases, like its 25 years ago, throwing out zingers like
its Hammer time!) and dress like theyre in a Barbie- getting arrested for trespassing in the Palais Garnier,
steampunk production of Fame. One aspiring ballerina
wears a pink sweatband and leg warmers. Others dress like
Dickensian street urchins. And then theres all the
anachronistic pop music.
This would all be more tolerable were the dialogue bet-
ter or the story a little smoother, but, alas, that seems to
have been the last thing on anyones mind after executing
the pretty computer animation that very beautifully
approximates both the light-as-a-feather dancing and a
Paris fit for a storybook. Thus were left with a villain
who throws barbs like, Tired is for los-
ers! and a heroine who were led to believe
has such raw talent that she can in a matter of

role in a Paris Opera Ballet production. And then
there are the morally questionable choices the
lead makes to get ahead.
The heroine is a very Emma Stone-like wide-
eyed, red-headed 11-year-old named Felicie (voiced
by Elle Fanning) who escapes her orphanage with
the help of a doting friend, Victor (Nat Wolff) and
heads off to Paris to find a dance school. After nearly
Felicie ends up assisting a disabled maid, Odette
(played by pop star Carly Rae Jepsen), who cleans
both the opera house and the large home of a very
wealthy family (the wicked mother Regine is voiced by
Kate McKinnon and the bratty daughter Camille is
played by Maddie Ziegler) and there decides to partake in
some light identity theft.

ballet school and pretends to be her to get in to the

THE YEARS FLY B Y: AIRLINE
CALENDARS FROM THE COLLEC-
TION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO AIR-
PORT MUSEUM. The promotional air-
line calendar is an enduring form of airline
ephemera that is a marriage of the airlines
brand identity with an object of daily utility
in the home or office. The use of the calen-
dar as a promotional tool for the airlines
was forged in the 1930s and 40s and
became common following World War II.
The Years Fly By: Airline Calendars from
the Collection of the San Francisco Airport
Museum displays a selection of these stun-
ning examples of graphic design.
One popular theme for airline calendars
was the promise of rapid, comfortable trav-
el to cities worldwide. This message was
conveyed through scenes of the airlines
exciting destinations often incorporating
one of their aircraft as well. Images of the
aircraft themselves were another major sub-
ject of airline calendars. This is hardly sur-
prising given that the rapid development of
aviation technology was a great symbol of
progress in the 20th century with which air-
lines regularly associated themselves.
Many national airlines, known as flag carri-
ers, and certain regional carriers linked their
airline to symbols of national identity and
culture. Art and architecture were often fea-
tured subjects for these calendars. In addi-
tion to wall and desk calendars, the airlines
produced small pocket calendars for their
customers convenience. These playing-
card sized objects feature a distinctive brand

Pork schnitzel with cucumber salad By Katie Workman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Schnitzels are often made with veal or
chicken, but pork is a great alternative.
Pounding out the cutlets makes them even
thinner and more tender, so they cook up
quickly, perfect for a weeknight meal. And
theres that irresistible crunch from the
Panko bread-crumb coating. This is one of
those heartening dishes thats popular with
both kids and adults.
The tangy, quickly pickled cucumbers and
onions make a great counterpoint to the
lightly fried pork cutlets. You could defi-
nitely use dried dill instead of fresh if its
easier.
Also, yes, theyre called seedless cucum-
bers, but of course there are still a nominal
amount of seeds in them. Removing the
seeds gives the salad a nicer texture, without
the slightly slimy consistency of the seeds,
and helps reduce any wateriness in the salad.
A little tip: Double the cucumber salad
next time you are serving a bagel and
smoked salmon spread its a great side

the cucumbers into thin half-moons.
Place the sliced cucumber and the onion
in a colander and toss with the salt. Let sit
for 10 minutes, then rinse the cucumber
and onion in very cold water and, using
your hands, squeeze the vegetables to
remove as much water as possible. Place
the cucumber mixture in a clean dishtowel,
roll up, and twist and squeeze to remove as
much water as possible again.

Season the pork lightly with salt and
pepper, then dip each piece into the flour,
shaking off any excess, and then into the
milk, then the Panko, pressing so that
the bread crumbs adhere to the pork. Place
the breaded pork on a plate or wire rack.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large
skillet until hot. Cook the pork for about
3 minutes on each side until golden brown
and just cooked through; you will proba-

adding more oil for the second batch as
needed.
When the pieces of pork are cooked,
place them briefly on a paper towel-lined

Cheers actor, radio host
Jay Thomas dies at 69
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Jay Thomas, a radio
talk show host and actor with recurring
roles on the sitcoms Murphy Brown and
Cheers, has died, his publicist said.
Thomas was 69.
He was one of the funniest and kindest
men I have had the honor to call both client
and friend for 25 years plus, publicist Tom
Estey said in a statement Thursday. He did
not provide further details.
Thomas was fighting cancer, the New
York Daily News reported Thursday.
Thomas best-known roles were as Eddie

of barmaid Carla on Cheers, and tabloid-
talk-show host Jerry Gold on Murphy

classes. Alls fair for dreamers, I guess? The
real rub, however, is that Camille is actually
a devoted student of ballet, whereas while
Felicie cant stop talking about her dream to
dance, she doesnt know the slightest thing
about ballet. But one training montage with
Odette solves that and suddenly Felicie is
one of the top students in the class and very
well could score the part of Clara in the bal-
let (which ballet? Thats unclear, since The
Nutcracker was first performed in 1982 and
the only other ballet referenced, Swan
Lake, has no young character named
Clara.)
Theres also an odd subplot involving a
love triangle which has both Victor and a
blonde Russian dancer vying for Felicies
affections. His cheekbones! squeals Felicie

movie and one young kids might very well
take to, but its just mystifying how lazily
the story components seem to have been put
together and how shamelessly it panders to
some imprecise notion of what modern chil-
dren want (Pop music! Slang! Love trian-
gles?).
For this former kid, the most enchanting
films to watch were those that committed to
the period setting, like Alfonso Cuarons A
Little Princess, or Agnieszka Hollands
The Secret Garden, that transported you to
a world so unlike your own.
LEAP! tries to have it both ways and is
lesser for it. No matter how catchy a song
Cut To The Feeling is, it has the unfortu-
nate effect of making LEAP! already seem
hopelessly dated.
LEAP! a Weinstein Company release, is
rated PG by the Motion Picture Association
of America for some impolite humor, and
action. Running time: 89 minutes. Two
stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
SCHOOL
Continued from page 1
The schools Director Amy Richards
said she is ready after nearly 10 years
of preparation for expansion to come
to fruition, though she noted with the
opportunity comes new challenges.
The school will be adapting to a
two-campus existence, and with that
comes a need to potentially change
how we carry out our task and how we
meet our mission, she said. Our exis-
tence will be different as we live across
two campuses.
The final days leading to the grand
opening were spent with landscapers
grooming the grounds and workers
installing technology while teachers
started to customize their classrooms.
As the final touches are applied,
Richards said officials are taking time
to remind staff and faculty the same
approach which drew families to the
Hillsborough campus should live on at
the new site.
We are talking to staff about our
essential qualities and how we will pre-
serve those essential qualities as we
adapt to this new existence, she said.
Those qualities include a commit-
ment to establishing a close communi-
ty with a strong sense of school iden-
tity, which could prove more difficult
to keep as the school is divided
between campuses, said Richards.
Im confident that the essence of
Crystal will be made manifest on both
of those campuses, she said. What I

November ballot that would have abol-
ished the death penalty.
Condemned inmates in California cur-
rently languish for decades and are more
likely to die of natural causes than from
lethal injection. There are nearly 750
inmates on death row and only 13 have
been executed since 1978 the last in
2006. The California Supreme Court rul-
ing comes as state officials face a Friday
deadline to unveil a revised lethal injec-
tion drug protocol to execute inmates.
The fight over the drug procedure, which
is tied up in federal court, has been a sig-
nificant obstacle to resuming the death
penalty.
Proposition 66 aimed to expedite
death sentences in part by setting a five-
year deadline on court appeals. It now
takes up to five years for death row
inmates to get an attorney, and it can
take upward of 25 years to exhaust
appeals.
Proposition 66 would expand the
pool of appellate lawyers handling cap-

worry about is the dovetailing of that
experience.
Richards said frequent interactions
between students and teachers will
help maintain the schools character,
as well as an effort to give middle
schoolers some exposure to their
future campus.
As part of the unification of the
sites, Richards said the younger stu-
dents will attend a ceremony at the
Hillsborough campus so they can
begin to establish a connection with
their high school.
Those are the kinds of things, the
little interactions, that will be critical-
ly important to help build a sense of
community across those 5.7 miles,
she said.
Though building toward success in
high school will remain a goal of the
middle school, Richard said officials
remain cognizant of the challenges
associated with those formative transi-
tional years.
To that end, the Belmont campus
will not enroll to its capacity in its
inaugural year, under an effort to allow
sixth- and seventh-graders to enjoy at
least two years before moving onto
the Hillsborough site. Once the middle
school is fully enrolled next year,
Richards said it will serve 350 stu-
dents.
The new school was opened due to
need for additional enrollment capaci-
ty at the Hillsborough campus, which
previously served sixth- through 12th-
grades and will now be a high school.
The proposal to open the new site went
through years of public planning with
Belmont officials and residents, due to
ital cases and allow lower-level state
courts not just the California
Supreme Court to hear appeals.
Death penalty opponents agreed with
Proposition 66 backers that the current
system was broken. But they argued that
the measure would lead to the appoint-
ment of incompetent attorneys and
overwhelm courts. The result:
Insufficient review that could send inno-
cent people to their deaths.
Arguments before a divided California
Supreme Court in June focused on
whether the measures five-year deadline
to hear appeals was realistic and
enforceable. Supporters of the measure
surprised observers when they conceded
the time limit was not mandatory, but
more of a guideline.
Kent Scheidegger, who argued in sup-
port of Proposition 66 before the state
Supreme Court, said even if the court had
a problem with one element of the meas-
ure, he didnt anticipate that it would
strike down the entire thing.
Its a broad reform with a number of
provisions that will advance the same
goal but dont depend on each other, he
said.
Proposition 66 would also end the
requirement that prison officials receive

concerns regarding traffic and noise
and other community impacts.
In recent months, Richards said
neighbors seemed to have become
more acclimated to the changing con-
ditions, as officials are receiving less
feedback from dissatisfied parties near-
by.
She credits the relatively smooth
process to a commitment by those at
the school to be a good neighbor,
especially to those on Davis Drive.
Comments from neighbors have
also led to some campus design
tweaks, noted Richards, as some build-
ing lights have been adjusted in an
effort to keep the illumination out of
adjacent living rooms.
Its fair to say that weve strove to
listen and understand, she said.
While the weeks leading to the grand
opening have included some periods of
anxiety, Richards said there is plenty
of excitement surrounding the event as
well.
To capture that enthusiasm, members
of the school community will com-
plete a 5.7-mile run Sunday, Aug. 27,
from the schools original
Hillsborough campus south to the new
campus.
Richards, who has been spending
the last couple weeks on at the
Belmont site watching the construc-
tion project, said she is ready for it to
begin serving its purpose.
To see the buildings, to walk the
buildings, to walk into the class-
rooms, to know what is going to hap-
pen in a short window of time the
growth and experience is really
moving, she said.
approval from state regulators for their
new lethal injection plan. Regulators
rejected an initial version of the plan in
December.
Scheidegger said there hasnt been
any discussion among Proposition 66
supporters about returning to voters
with a new ballot measure if it fails.
Christina Von der Ahe Rayburn, an
attorney for opponents of Proposition
66, declined to comment ahead of the
ruling.
Several justices seized on the five-
year deadline during arguments and ques-
tioned how it could be met without radi-
cally altering the court system. With
380 death penalty appeals now pend-
ing, there was concern from some legal
observers that the states high court
would be overwhelmed trying to meet
the deadline and would hardly hear other
cases of merit.
I dont think anybody can actually
argue that theres a positive value in
having these cases last for 20 or so
years, said Robert Weisberg, a criminal
justice expert at Stanford Law School.
But thats probably unavoidable
because of forces in our legal system
that cant be controlled by a proposi-
tion.

to a handful of surf destinations across the
globe.
Dave Prodan, WSLs senior vice president
of global brand identity, confirmed theyd
reached an agreement with Cartel and are
awaiting final approval from the judge.
All are very excited about this, Prodan
wrote in an email. Mavericks is known
everywhere as one of the iconic and dramat-
ic big wave locations in the world, and the
WSL is looking forward to work with the
San Mateo County Harbor District and the
local community moving forward.
Ultimately, the Harbor District may also
have a say as the agreement indicates WSL
has until Sept. 20 to get the local agency to
expressly confirm that it does not oppose
the permits transfer at a public hearing,
according to the filing.
The district had previously fought for the
local agencys right to review, if not decide,
to whom the permit could be transferred.
Harbor District Commissioner Sabrina
Brennan, whos advocated on behalf of
the Committee for Equity in Womens
Surfing, said shes pleased the WSL may

cated the four men may have camped out on
the grounds, according to the task force.
Over the last two months, the task force
worked with local, state and federal agencies
to participate in the annual Campaign
Against Marijuana Planting program, an
effort to eradicate large-scale illegal pot
farms. Participating agencies included the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife,
the California Department of Justice,
SFPUC, Mid-Pen, U. S. Department of
Forestry and the county narcotics task
force.
This is something that happens
statewide on a seasonal basis from June all
the way through October where local and
state agencies participate in this program
when they have these types of rural lands
that unfortunately, host illegal marijuana
grows, said task force Cmdr. Saul Lopez.
Established drug trafficking organizations
within California have cells all over the
state, including our county.

bolster their efforts.
Anyone who aims to run a competition
will be required to include Mavericks first
ever womens heat following directives
from the California Coastal Commission,
which recently became a permitting agency
for the contest. A competition will include
24 invite-only males, and another six
female surfers in the contest, according to
the filing.
I support women being included in the
event and clearly the WSL has a proven
track record of including women in the Big
Wave World Tour, Brennan said. I hope
that everyone on the [Harbor District] board
is supportive of whats in the best interest
of the athletes, the fans and San Mateo
County.
It could be a close call as only four of the
five members on the Harbor District board,
which in itself has a tumultuous political
history, will be voting on the matter. Board
President Tom Mattusch has previously
recused himself as he owns a charter boat
that takes spectators out to sea on competi-
tion days.
The contest has been held just 10 times
since its 1999 debut and hinges on volatile
factors like wind, daylight and swells pro-
ducing massive waves aligning for the one-
day event. Until now, local organizers had
Despite voters approving Proposition
64, a landmark law legalizing recreational
marijuana for adults, officials have said its
more important than ever to crack down on
those skirting the law. In the case of the
large-scale rural marijuana grows, it violat-
ed a number of environmental regulations
such as damming a creek and diverting
water. Law enforcement officials have also
suggested such illicit operations will con-
tinue as criminals seek to skirt taxes
required under the states new law.
Theres a gray market where most mari-
juana operators do not want to pay taxes to
the state, so I think were going to continue
to see throughout the state illegal grows,
not only outdoor, but also indoor grows,
Lopez said, later adding the environmental
effect is extreme. Theyre using toxic chem-
icals that are affecting not only the wildlife,
but the natural habitat.
He added diverting water from streams can
impede fisheries and these hidden opera-
tions on public lands pose risks to the pub-
lic or hikers who may accidentally happen
upon them.
The state is still in the midst of creating a
regulatory framework and licensing system

fended off the WSL as they sought to retain
Mavericks as a standalone event not just
one stop on the tour.
Local organizers including Jeff Clark,
who pioneered the contest and was the first
to surf Mavericks, have fought against the
permits transfer claiming they should be
the rightful owners. In 2014, the band of
locals whod previously hosted contests as
Mavericks Invitational, partnered with
Cartel to rebrand the event.
In 2015, WSL applied for a Harbor
District permit to host the contest. As Clark
and Cartel advocated for local control, the
Harbor District ultimately approved a multi-
year permit the first issued for an event at
Mavericks. When the district approved a
five-year agreement, it essentially created
Cartels most valuable asset that its since
sought to sell.
Local organizers have since decried Cartel
and its owner Griffin Guess for suddenly fil-
ing bankruptcy and attempting to auction
off Mavericks. Cartel said it spent nearly $3
million branding and organizing the con-
test, while facing significant political and
legal hurdles. Between Cartel and Titans,
Griffin has listed nearly $1.7 million in
unsecured debt, prompting the federal bank-
ruptcy cases.
In a joint press release attached to
for commercial operations. The 11, 400
plants ranging from 2 to 10 feet tall had an
estimated potential street value of $22.8
million, according to the task force.
In late July, the investigation led to the
arrests of four men who were caught on sev-
eral illegal farms and are believed to have
known one another. Lopez said its not
uncommon for law enforcement to uncover
large-scale marijuana grows in remote parts
of San Mateo County.
This years effort netted four arrests with
Redwood City residents Juan Cuevas
Sanchez, 37, and Joel Ochoa Sanchez, 32;
as well as Michoacn, Mexico citizens Juan
Farias Galeana, 28, and Jose Antonio
Mendoza, 26, accused of being connected to
the illegal grows, according to the task
force.
The task force held off on announcing the
arrests until Thursday as the investigation
into illegal grows was ongoing and addi-
tional plants were discovered.
The group is believed to be responsible
for about 6,900 of the plants recovered, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Cuevas
Sanchez, who is believed to be the leader,
pleaded not guilty to two felony counts for
growing over the permissible number of

Wednesdays filing, Cartel and WSL repre-
sentatives are quoted hailing the collabora-
tion to raise the contest onto the worlds
stage.
Fans have been waiting since last years
season trickled by without a contest after
Cartel hosted one successful event in 2016.
Prior contests included a viewing festival
where thousands flocked to the San Mateo
County coastline to witness athletes brave
frigid waters and towering waves. The beach
and bluffs are closed during the event fol-
lowing a 2010 incident where a rogue wave
crashed ashore knocking down spectators.
It wasnt immediately clear whether WSL
will seek to host a public festival as part of
its contest, which would be the first since
2014.
With the clock ticking to secure the requi-
site approvals before this years contest
window opens in October and runs through
February, WSL seems poised to drop in.
Were delighted to have the opportunity
to work with the big wave community in
bringing the Mavericks event to life on the
international stage, WSL CEO Sophie
Goldschmidt said in the press release, later
adding, The WSL intends to continue to run
the Mavericks event and celebrate the sto-
ries of those who steward and surf it through
the Big Wave Tour.
plants allowed and is currently out on
$10,000 bail. Ochoa Sanchez was charged
with three misdemeanors for growing more
plants than allowed, resisting arrest and
assaulting a police dog. He is out of custody
on his own recognizance and is scheduled to
appear in court Sept. 1, Wagstaffe said.
Galeana and Mendoza were believed to be
workers, and on Aug. 14, each pleaded no
contest to misdemeanor stream diversion
and were released with time served,
Wagstaffe said.
Although Proposition 64 allows individ-
uals to grow up to six plants for personal
use and reduced more marijuana crimes to
misdemeanors, Lopez and Wagstaffe said
its important to ensure the law is being
upheld.
When you divert a stream and are dump-
ing various hoses and other things that are
potentially toxic, youre damaging our
nature wildlife, our fishery and that warrants
attention from us. If theres an environmen-
tal component, well always take that to
court, Wagstaffe said. And when youre
growing 1,000 times the law allows, well
prosecute that too.
