Uncertainty plagues school bond discussion

San Mateo-Foster City trustees struggle to build unified front in lead-up to bond decision
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With a deadline to place a bond measure

on the fall ballot looming later this week,
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District officials labored to glean a consensus identifying the projects the tax would
address, and how much money to ask from
voters.

During a passionate discussion Monday,

Aug. 3, the district Board of Trustees struggled to nail down the most pertinent details
of the bond officials claim is necessary to
pay for building new classrooms.
Under direction of the board, district staff
will come back Thursday, Aug. 6, to recommend placing the bond needed to address
projected enrollment growth on the upcoming election ballot, but an arduous conver-

sation led to that decision.

At the heart of the debate between trustees
was whether to attempt to address prevailing equity issues by building a neighborhood school for students living in the North
Central community in San Mateo.
Trustee Chelsea Bonini questioned
whether the district would be best served to
chart a different course than the direction
recommended by the Next Steps committee,

which decided after 18 months of community outreach building a school in North

Central would meet the demands of local residents.
Bonini expressed reservations regarding
the proposal to construct a neighborhood
school for 250 North Central students on
the campus of College Park Elementary, due

Two San Mateo County sheriffs

deputies who risked their lives to save
a man from being crushed by a train
Monday night wouldnt call themselves heroic theyd say its just
part of the job.
A bystander caught the harrowing
rescue on video as sheriffs deputies
Lance Whitted and Erik Rueppel rushed
to assist an allegedly intoxicated and
incoherent driver who was moments
away from being hit on the Caltrain
tracks around 6:35 p.m.

Whitted and Rueppel were working

as transit officers patrolling near Mary
and West Evelyn avenues in Sunnyvale
when 20-year-old Nelson Gomez
crashed into a traffic post at the
Caltrain crossing.
Whitted, a 28-year-old father whos
been contracting with Caltrain as a
transit officer for just a month,
forcibly pulled the driver out of the
vehicle as Rueppel ran toward the train
in a bold attempt to get the train engineers attention.

Despite being on the job a short
time, this astonishingly wasnt the
first time Whitted was confronted by
death along the regional transit
agencys tracks. Just a few days earlier,
Whitted was on duty when a man was

County seeks to designate Portola

Trail as a nationally historic site
Effort underway to complete California Coastal Trail through San Mateo County

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Portola Expedition in the 18th century led to the colonization of the Bay Area
and San Mateo County officials are now taking the lead in designating the path they
traveled from Mexico to Sweeney Ridge in
Pacifica as a National Historic Trail.
The 250th anniversary of the Portola
Expedition from Spain is in 2019 and county Parks Director Marlene Finley is hoping
other counties in the state will join in the
effort.
The expedition traveled about 50 miles
along coastal Santa Cruz and San Mateo
counties, where six camps were set up by the
Spanish travelers.
The trail through San Mateo County
would go through three National Parks
Milagra Ridge, Mori Point and Sweeney
Ridge.
There is growing interest in formally designating the Portola Trail as a National

The Portola Trail through the county overlaps with half, about 22 miles, of the
California Coastal Trail, which the committee will promote to have completed through
the area.
The effort will need congressional support to secure funding for National Parks to
develop a feasibility report to verify the
exact trail alignment, which was last comprehensively mapped in 1928.
Congressional support is also needed to

Finley hopes that hikers will be able to

Its an opportunity to tell the rich story
of the history of the expedition and the cultures and people it touched along the way,
Finley said Tuesday. It will be a chance to
relive the expedition.
Part of the trail currently goes though land
owned by the state, Golden Gate National
Recreation Area and Midpeninsula Regional
Open Space District. About 3 miles of the
trail goes through land owned by private
property owners.
The trail could be dotted with back country

Attorney: FBI accused S.F.

Mayor Lee of taking bribes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO San Franciscos

mayor was accused by the FBI of taking
bribes in exchange for favors, attorneys for a
defendant in an organized crime case centered
on San Franciscos Chinatown said Tuesday.
In a court filing, Curtis Briggs, an attorney for Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow,
cites as the source of the FBIs allegation
documents turned over to him by the government as part of the process of mounting
a defense for his client.
Briggs is seeking to dismiss the indictment
against Chow on the grounds that the government is selectively prosecuting him while letting other people caught in its probe go.
Mayor Ed Lee has not been charged with a
crime. P.J. Johnston, a spokesman for the
mayors 2015 campaign, said nothing in the
filing suggests Lee did anything wrong.
While it appears others may have tried to
engage or ensnare Mayor Lee and any number of other people in their own wrongdoing, theres absolutely nothing in todays

filing
by
Raymond
Chows attorneys that
suggests that Mayor Lee
himself or his 2011 campaign did anything wrong
or inappropriate, he
said.
The campaign had done
a complete audit and found
no evidence to substantiEd Lee
ate
any
allegations
against the mayor or his
campaign, Johnston said.
The documents accompanying Briggs filing do not appear to show the mayor directly soliciting or receiving a bribe.
Chow, the elected dragonhead of the
Chinese fraternal group known as the Ghee
Kung Tong, was arrested after a multiyear
investigation by the FBI that also ensnared
former state Sen. Leland Yee.
The FBI alleges the association was a racketeering enterprise and that undercover agents
laundered $2.6 million in cash from illegal
bookmaking through the organization.

Woman who assaulted

Week-old wildfire wreaks havoc on vacation spot

By Janie Har and Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIDDLETOWN A predictable but painful

summertime ritual played out in half a dozen
resort communities near Californias largest
freshwater lake on Tuesday as an erratic,
week-old wildfire that has wiped out dozens of
buildings continued to threaten nearly 7,000
more.
As firefighters and equipment from outside
the state poured in to battle the blaze burning
10 miles from Clear Lake, more than 13,000
people were required or urged to leave their
homes, vacation cabins and campsites in the
latest fire-prone region to find itself under
siege.
This never gets easier, said Gina Powers,
who with her husband and cats on Sunday
night fled the Spring Valley home she has
evacuated before in the more than two decades
she has lived there. This time it was scarier.
State and federal fire officials said the stubborn fire had consumed more than 101 square
miles after flames jumped a highway in several places. Firefighters made some progress
Tuesday afternoon with some help from light
rain that fell in the area. The blaze was 20 percent contained, but it was not expected to be
corralled until at least Monday.
The fire, by far the largest of 11 burning in
Northern California on Wednesday, started on
July 29 in drought-withered brush that has
not burned in years in the Lower Lake area,
about 100 miles north of San Francisco. A
cause has not been determined.
The National Interagency Fire Center in
Boise, Idaho, has the wildfire listed as the
nations highest priority for crews and equipment even as potentially destructive blazes

stepped up to help. Tabetha Atwood, the

owner of Our Happy Tails Etc., a local doggy
bakery, was helping to match frightened dogs
with their owners at a command center at the
Moose Lodge in Clearlake Oaks that was
serving as a community assistance center.
Atwood also had dog treats on hand for people who came by with their pets while other
volunteers gave out pillows, apples and piles
of French toast to people displaced by the
fire.
These are our friends, our family and our
neighbors, she said.
By Tuesday afternoon, with 15- to 20-mph
winds coming from the northwest, the Moose
Lodge itself was being threatened and the
people there asked to leave.

remain calm after checking the latest map

Per the citizens petition that
garnered about 2,200 signatures,
the council could either rescind the ordinances or place
them on an upcoming ballot.
At its Aug. 25 meeting, the council will consider
whether to proceed with new amendments to its home
remodel rules proposed last month and what that process
will entail.

Toxic algae blooming in warm water from California to Alaska

By Phuong Le
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE A vast bloom of toxic algae off

the West Coast is denser, more widespread and
deeper than scientists feared even weeks ago,
according to surveyors aboard a National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
research vessel.
This coastal ribbon of microscopic algae,
up to 40 miles wide and 650 feet deep in
places, is flourishing amid unusually warm
Pacific Ocean temperatures. It now stretches
from at least California to Alaska and has shut
down lucrative fisheries. Shellfish managers
on Tuesday doubled the area off Washingtons
coast that is closed to Dungeness crab fishing, after finding elevated levels of marine
toxins in tested crab meat.
So-called red tides are cyclical and have
happened many times before, but ocean
researchers say this one is much larger and
persisting much longer, with higher levels of
neurotoxins bringing severe consequences
for the Pacific seafood industry, coastal
tourism and marine ecosystems.
Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for

The question on everyones mind is whether this is related

to global climate change. The simple answer is that it could be,
but at this point its hard to separate the variations in these cycles.
... Maybe the cycles are more extreme in the changing climate.
Donald Boesch, professor of marine science at the University of Maryland

the Washington Department of Fish and

Wildlife, said the area now closed to crab fishing includes more than half the states 157mile-long coast, and likely will bring a premature end to this years crab season.
We think its just sitting and lingering out
there, said Anthony Odell, a University of
Washington research analyst who is part of a
NOAA-led team surveying the harmful algae
bloom, which was first detected in May. Its
farther offshore, but its still there.
The survey data should provide a clearer
picture of what is causing the bloom which is
brownish in color, unlike the blue and green
algae found in polluted freshwater lakes.
Marine detectives already have a suspect: a
large patch of water running as much as 3
degrees centigrade warmer than normal in the

northeast Pacific Ocean, nicknamed the

blob.
The question on everyones mind is
whether this is related to global climate
change. The simple answer is that it could be,
but at this point its hard to separate the variations in these cycles, said Donald Boesch,
professor of marine science at the University
of Maryland who is not involved in the survey. Maybe the cycles are more extreme in
the changing climate.
Theres no question that were seeing
more algal blooms more often, in more
places, when they do occur, theyre lasting
longer and often over greater geographical
areas. Were seeing more events than documented decades ago, said Pat Glibert, professor at Horn Point Laboratory, University

of Maryland Center for Environmental

Science.
Odell recently completed the first leg of the
survey, mostly in California waters. On
Wednesday, researchers plan to continue
monitoring the sea between Newport,
Oregon, and Seattle. The vessel will then go
to Vancouver Island, wrapping up in early
September. Another research ship is taking
samples off Alaska.
The brownish bloom was particularly thick
off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, and
Odell said it was unusually dominated by one
type of algae called Pseudo-nitzschia, which
can produce the neurotoxin domoic acid.
Its an indication of an imbalance, said
Vera Trainer, a research oceanographer with
the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in
Seattle. Too much of any one thing is not
healthy for anybody to eat.
Trainer said this bloom is the worst shes
seen in 20 years of studying them. Harmful
algal blooms have usually been limited to
one area of the ocean or another, and have disappeared after a few weeks. This one has
grown for months, waxing and waning but
never going away.

Two immigrants in U.S. illegally

are named to city commissions
By Christine Armario
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES When Karina Macias

was elected mayor of Huntington Park, a
small city in Los Angeles County, she
noticed that many of its commissions were
no longer active.
The reason: Lack of interest.
So the Huntington Park City Council put
out a call for new applicants. This time,
they told residents in the city with a majority Latino population that anyone could
apply regardless of immigration status.
On Monday, two immigrants who are in
the U.S. illegally were appointed to serve
on city commissions.
They bring a lot to the table, said
Macias, who was elected mayor two years
ago. And it really empowers, or at least
gives a voice, for those undocumented in the
community.
The appointments are believed to be
among the first in the nation in which an
immigrant without legal status in the U.S.
has been appointed to serve in a government position.
People who are in the country illegally
cannot vote or seek elected office. In accordance with the 1986 Immigration Reform

and Control Act, U.S. employers are prohibited from hiring anyone they know is not
authorized to work in the country.
City leaders said their appointments are
permitted because both new commissioners
have agreed to serve as volunteers without
pay.
Nevertheless, the appointments struck a
controversial note.
During the Huntington Park City Council
meeting on Monday, one woman shouted to
city leaders, You are out of order!
Daniel Stein, president of the Federation
for American Immigration Reform, which
advocates for tighter immigration controls,
called the appointments the evolution of a
breakdown in national immigration controls and the sanctity of American citizenship.
Where does it end? he asked Tuesday.
One appointee, Julian Zatarain, 21, will
serve on the parks and recreation commission. The college student came to the U.S.
when he was 13 from the Mexican state of
Sinaloa and has volunteered with the Red
Cross.
The other, Francisco Medina, 29, crossed
the border with his brother when he was 16
and is a college graduate who will serve on
the health and education commission.

Officials investigating N.H.

tent collapse that killed two
By Rodrique Ngowi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An estimated 16 million people have gained health insurance since HealthCare.gov opened
for business in late 2013, and the White House does not want any slippage.

Tax filing problems could jeopardize

health law aid for about 1.8 million
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON About 1.8 million

households that got financial help for health
insurance under President Barack Obamas
law now have issues with their tax returns
that could jeopardize their subsidies next
year. Administration officials say those taxpayers will have to act quickly.
Theres still time, but people need to take
action soon, said Lori Lodes, communications director for the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, which runs
HealthCare.gov.
The health care law provides tax credits to
help people afford private insurance.
Nationally, that aid averages $272 a month,
covering roughly three-fourths of the premium. By funneling the aid through the income
tax system, Democrats were able to call the
overhaul the largest middle-class tax cut for
health care in history. But they also spliced
together two really complicated areas for
consumers: health insurance and taxes.
Confusion has been the result for many.
Consumers who got health care tax credits
are required to file tax returns that properly
account for them, even if they are unaccustomed to filing because their incomes are
low. Unless they follow through, they will
not be able to receive tax credits to help
lower the cost of their health insurance for
2016, Lodes explained.
Treasury officials said 1.8 million households are at risk of losing subsidies for next
year, and that number breaks down as follows:
About 710,000 households that have not
filed a 2014 tax return, although they were
legally required to account for health insur-

ance tax credits that they received.

Some 360,000 households that got tax
credits and requested an extension to file their
returns. They have until Oct. 15.
About 760,000 households that got tax
credits and filed their tax returns omitted a
new form that is the key to accounting for the
subsidies. Called Form 8962, it was new for
this years tax filing season.
I think it was definitely confusing for
people, said Elizabeth Colvin of
Foundation Communities, an Austin, Texas,
nonprofit that helps low-income people with
health insurance and taxes. It could have
been worse, quite honestly. I think a lot of
tax preparers didnt know how to do these
(forms) either.
The 1.8 million households with tax issues
represent 40 percent of 4.5 million households that had tax credits provided on their
behalf and must account for them. The rest
had their returns successfully processed by
the IRS as of the end of May.
Earlier this summer, a Supreme Court decision preserved health care tax credits for consumers in all 50 states, turning back a challenge from conservatives opposed to
Obamacare. Because of the laws built-in
complexity, some of those consumers may
now be at risk of losing their assistance.
Administration officials say theyre working hard to prevent that. An estimated 16 million people have gained health insurance
since HealthCare.gov opened for business in
late 2013, and the White House does not want
any slippage.
The IRS has started reaching out to consumers with tax issues. HealthCare.gov is
reporting an increase in tax-related calls to
its consumer assistance center. That telephone number is (800) 318-2596.

LANCASTER, N.H. Its unclear why

after a widespread warning of impending
severe weather a circus put on its planned
show in a tent that ended up collapsing in a
storm, killing a spectator and his 8-year-old
daughter, the state fire marshal said Tuesday.
More than 30 other people were taken to
hospitals after the collapse Monday night
at the Lancaster Fairgrounds, 90 miles north
of Concord.
Fire Marshal Bill Degnan said its the
responsibility of the circus operator to
monitor the weather. The show began seven
minutes after the National Weather Service
issued a severe-thunderstorm warning. The
storm blew through about 15 minutes after
that, with about 100 people inside the tent.
Spectator Heidi Medeiros, who attended the circus with her 3-year-old son,

ground and slammed onto the bleacher

where they had been sitting.

Degnan said the storm cut a track of a halfmile to a mile that included downed trees
while it approached the tent.
The victims of the collapse were identified
as 41-year-old Robert Young and his daughter Annabelle, of Concord, Vermont. An
autopsy showed they died of blunt-force
trauma, Degnan said.
The yellow-and red-striped tent was still
on the ground Tuesday afternoon, away from
the bleachers. Items including concessiontype inflatable SpongeBob figurines were
strewn about.
Degnan said the operator, Sarasota,
Florida-based Walker International Events,
has been cooperating in the investigation
into what happened. Walker didnt return
repeated phone calls and emails from the
Associated Press seeking comment.

Debate field is set: Trump, Bush in; Santorum, Fiorina out

By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Billionaire businessman

Donald Trump will be front and center in
the Republican Partys leadoff presidential
debate, scoring the top spot in Thursdays
prime-time faceoff where hell be joined by
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker and seven other White
House hopefuls who made the campaigns
first cut.
But its a disappointing situation for
seven other Republicans including former
technology executive Carly Fiorina and
former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who will be
relegated to a pre-debate forum and secondtier status in the partys crowded field.
Fox News on Tuesday announced the 10
GOP candidates who will take part in the
debate at 9 p.m. EDT Thursday in the crucial
swing state of Ohio.
Beyond Trump, those selected among the
top 10 based on recent national polls
include Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen.
Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio,
retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John
Kasich.
Those who didnt qualify for the first
debate include Fiorina, the GOPs only
female presidential candidate, Perry,
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, South
Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former
Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former
New York Gov. George Pataki and former
Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore.
The announcement concludes an anxietyfilled process for a Republican Party that
worked aggressively to improve its debates
ahead of the election season. Yet with the
largest field of contenders in modern memory, organizers say something had to give
to ensure the debate in Cleveland didnt turn

into a nationally televised circus.
We never ever envisioned wed have 17
major candidates, said Steve Duprey, New
Hampshires representative to the
Republican National Committee who
helped craft the debate plan. Theres no
perfect solution.
Republican officials worked closely with
TV executives, although the networks have
the final say about which candidates will be
allowed on stage for their televised events.
Fox News is the host of Thursdays event,
the first of six party-sanctioned debates
before primary voting begins in February.
Republican officials were particularly
concerned about Fiorinas status, hoping
she would help balance Hillary Rodham
Clintons push to rally women to her candidacy. Trumps recent surge in the polls was
particularly damaging to Fiorina.

The reality television stars rapid rise has

surprised many Republican officials, some
of whom fear his rhetoric on immigration
and other divisive issues could hurt the
party. In a Tuesday interview, Trump said
hes been defying expectations all his life.
I think people are tired, theyre sick and
tired of incompetent politicians, he said
on MSNBCs Morning Joe when asked to
explain his rise.
While Trump was far and away the frontrunner in the five most recent national
polls that determined the debate lineup,
several candidates were grouped together in
the single digits, most separated by a number smaller than the margin of error.
For example, in a Monmouth University
survey released Monday, Kasich was the
10th candidate with the support of 3.2 percent of voters.

But after taking the margin of error into

account, Monmouth noted that Kasichs
support could be as low as 1.5 percent,
while almost any of the candidates who
polled lower could be that high or higher.
Monmouth found that only five candidates Trump, Bush, Walker, Cruz and
Huckabee were definitely in the top tier
of candidates, while just two Pataki and
Gilmore would not make it into the top
10 even when margin of error was taken
into account.
Some candidates looked at the polls on
Tuesday, and then looked past the first
debate and aimed for the second.
This first debate is just one opportunity
of many, Amy Frederick, an aide to
Fiorina, wrote to supporters. With many
more debates to come, we fully expect that
Carly will soon stand on the stage and
show America what real leadership looks
like.
Jindal spokeswoman Shannon Dirmann
issued a challenge of sorts: The governor
will debate anyone anywhere at any time.
Candidates have already begun to turn
their attention toward Trump, considered
the ultimate wildcard on the debate stage.
Asked about Trump while courting religious conservatives on Tuesday, Bush said
the businessmans rhetoric on immigrants
is wrong. We have a different tone and a
different view, he said.
I respect the fact that hes the front-runner for the Republican nomination, Bush
continued. This is a serious thing. But I
think to win and govern the right way
we have to unite rather than divide.
Christie, in a television interview earlier
in the day, called Trump his friend but suggested hed be willing to challenge him if
necessary.
If I believe there is something that
needs to be said on that stage Thursday
night, Ill say it, Christie said on
MSNBCs Morning Joe.

Hacking self-driving cars

The purpose of invocations

Editor,
Google and others are giving us
plenty of notice: Self-driving cars are
coming. It doesnt matter what we
think about them theyre coming.
First, the cars will not include manual override abilities.
Second, even if manual override were
possible, the person in the drivers
seat would immediately be lulled into
unattentiveness and maybe even fall
asleep.
Third, a car, a hundred cars, a thousand cars, will prove that they can go
all over town and country on their
own.
Then the hackers will enter the picture: imagine wreckage and bloody
gore strewn all over the streets and
freeways.
Hackers, domestic and foreign, have
gotten into all Internet systems. Selfdriven cars will be no more difcult to
hack into than any other system
theyve entered and disrupted to date.

Editor,
Invocations at public meetings
call upon Gods presence, asking for
guidance and blessings over the
work of our community leaders.
Having seen the Redwood City
Council suspend prayer, after a pastorfrom the Judeo-Christian tradition voiced heartfelt thoughts about
our culture (City puts prayer on
hold in the July 30 edition of the
Daily Journal), prompted me to
research the most infamous Old and
New Testament prayers and see how
people then approached God and the
content of their prayers that made
them so effective.
In each case, I found that effective
prayers were delivered with humility
and candor, precisely as the one at
the council meeting that
causedsome people angst.These
prayers came from a diverse group of
men and women, over centuries:
Moses, Joshua, Deborah,
Samuel,Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah,
David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, Daniel, Micah, Peter, Paul,
John and others, each prayer having
precisely the same elements as the
pastors council meeting invocation.
So obviously, this is JudeoChristian prayer.I do not understand
how anyone sincerely asking for
Gods guidance during a meeting,
calling upon Gods wisdom and
knowledge to benefit their greater
community, would have a problem
with it. Effective prayer must be
heard and answered, as were those
successful prayers recorded in
Scripture.
If the purpose of modern-day invocations is merely to feel good,
enjoying a false sense of security,
then the practice of invocations
ought to end, until there is an elected body that is serious about
approaching the creator and sustainer of our universe, with humility and
honesty.

Responsible Belmont governance

Editor,
Having attended sessions of both
the Belmont Planning Commission
and City Council prior to the now
rescinded zoning and tree ordinances, I
wish to assure the citizenry that there
were extensive presentations by the
Belmont staff indicating excellent
research.
The Planning Commission and
council heard public testimony and
opinions from many Belmont citizens. After lengthy deliberations and
numerous compromises, the well-reasoned ordinances were passed.
These meetings were adequately publicized in local newspapers and on the
Belmont city website. That is how I
decided to be in attendance.
All citizens who have an interest in
their citys governance should contact
the Belmont city clerk and supply
their email contact information. Then,
they will receive the excellent weekly
City Manager Report and announcements of Belmont Planning
Commission and City Council meeting agendas via email.
Regular attendance at these meetings
leads to a better understanding of governmental processes and the possibility of appeals on specic issues. It also
should lead to respect for our elected
and appointed ofcials and for the
long hours they spend representing
the Belmont community.

The world is round

Editor,
Jahan Alamzad had a good column
with his Big Data is good, Smart
Data is better in the July 27 edition
of the Daily Journal.
Unfortunately, he damages his
otherwise good points by starting
off on a very bad foot with his
Earth is flat misinformation.
Educated people have known the
world is round in much of seafaring
civilization history, definitively by
the time of the sixth century B.C.
Greeks, and probably previously.
The curvature is obvious enough that
with sailing ships, the ship would
appear to sink as it sailed off from
land, leaving only the mast visible.
Likewise, sailors would see the port
town disappear as they sailed away,
with only the tallest landmarks
remaining.
At the time of Columbus, it was
common, accepted knowledge that
the world was round Columbus
simply got the circumference drastically off. Contrary to popular
belief, even inthe Dark
Ages/medieval times, it was common knowledge among the educated
that the Earth was spherical.
It appears that the mythology that
Columbus proved the world was
round was established by American
novelist Washington Irving in his
1828 History of the Life and
Voyages of Christopher Columbus,
a highly-embellished and fictionalized historical novel.
Ira Gershwin didnt do historical
accuracy any favors with the 1937
They All Laughed, where he
repeated the myth with the line,
They all laughed at Christopher
Columbus when he said the world
was round, but in reality he
deserved laughter only in getting
the size of the Earth so badly off in
thinking he could get to the Indies
sailing west with the primitive
ships he had.

ugust comes but once a year. And you can read

about it here. DD.
In anticipation of writing this column, I tried to find a
positive quote about August to start with. I looked
through my related books and consulted Google. Seems
August is a month that is not on the list of favorites for
a lot of people. Lots of mention of summer heat and dog
days. I came up empty-handed. But Ill offer you some
interesting information about August anyway. First,
Aug. 1 was my sisters 95th birthday.
My sister has been a great friend and inspiration all
through our lives. From the days when she cared for me
while our mother worked, to the support she supplied
during my difficult time of adolescence and on up
through our child-raising years and how she handled a
great deal of tragedy in her life as we grew older, she has
become a great role model and supporter all along. Last
Saturday, we celebrated her birthday at a tea place in
Niles. The event was hosted by her daughter who, by the
way, was also born on Aug. 1, and her granddaughter. A
good time was enjoyed by
all.
After coming home,
considering how our
daughter and our older
grandson celebrate their
birthdays later this month,
I decided to find out how
many well-known living
people have a birthday in
August. Well, theres
Barrack Obama on Aug. 4,
of course, and Bill
Clintons on the 19th. And
then there were listed,
besides the two presidents,
a bunch of celebrities like Robert Redford, Madonna,
Julia Child, Martha Stewart, Mr. San Francisco Tony
Bennett who turned 89 Aug. 3 and some sports figures
including Roger Federer and Madison Bumgarner.
But as I wandered through what Google offered about
August, I came across some interesting special days.
Among those was Sisters Day on Aug. 2 (very appropriate). Aug. 9 is Book Lovers Day and the 10th is Lazy
Day (my favorites). Aug. 11 is Son and Daughter Day.
The 18th is Bad Poetry Day (I can relate to that) and Aug.
21 is National Senior Citizens Day. This one would
make a good national holiday to encourage the valuing
of seniors and the contributions we have made to society.
But I digress. I dont want to overlook another important event that occurred on Aug. 1. It was the 45th
anniversary of the opening of Earth Beam Natural Foods
on the corner of Broadway and Capuchino Avenue in
Burlingame. Providing clean food for healthy people
is its motto. The proprietor, David Hinckle, and I go way
back to when I conducted a holistic living class at
Burlingame Rec and he would join us as a guest speaker.
If you are interested in eating more naturally like
avoiding chemicals, GMOs and highly processed foods
this is a good place to buy food, vitamins, supplements, etc.
Last, but not least, theres another special day that I
want to point out Aug. 15 International Homeless
Animals Day. This brings to mind a problem that was
brought to my attention by a cyber friend who is a supporter of Nine Lives Foundation in Redwood City an
organization that takes in homeless cats and kittens and
tries to find people who will take them in, at least temporarily. This year, especially, there has been a plethora
of kittens that need to be cared for until they are old
enough to be adopted. Some need a foster home for a
short time, others for longer.
Their mission statement on their website informs us
that Nine Lives Foundation is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to all cats and kittens by
providing low cost spay/neuter, rescue, medical and
adoption services. A no-kill facility that welcomes all
cats and kittens regardless of their physical, medical or
behavioral conditions, and places our animals in
humane, responsible and loving homes. As the
largest no-kill shelter in the Bay Area, Nine Lives is
confronted on a daily basis with dozens of kittens surrendered by members of the community, both near and
far. Currently there are over 400 kittens that need foster
care with or without their mothers. You can visit their
foster program to learn more at www.ninelivesfoundation.org. Also, you can call them at (650) 814-6696. I
hope some of you are able to help these darling little
kittens.
And, as far as the month of August is concerned, do
remember, Though August has no holidays, its a month
of other treasures. And September will be coming soon
to bestow its unique pleasures. DD.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell for a

third straight day Tuesday as investors
assessed some disappointing earnings
reports.
Allstate slumped to its biggest loss
in more than five years after reporting
a drop in profits that was worse than
Wall Street analysts had been expecting. NRG Energy was another company
that disappointed investors, reporting
a loss, when analysts had been expecting a small profit.
Stocks have been trading in a tight
range for several weeks as investors
wait to see if the economy strengthens
sufficiently for the Federal Reserve to
raise its benchmark interest rate for the
first time in more than nine years.
Investors shouldnt make the mistake
though of thinking that the market is
in a summer slumber, said Kate Warne,
an investment strategist at brokerage
Edward Jones.
While energy stocks have plunged in
response to falling oil prices, she
noted, health care stocks are having
another banner year.
Stocks havent moved any place,
but its because theres been an equal
mix of gainers and losers, says Jones.
What were seeing is a back-and-forth
market, not a doldrums market.

The Standard & Poors 500 index

dropped 4.72 points, or 0.2 percent, to
2,093.32. The Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 47.51 points, or 0.3
percent, to 17,550.69. The Nasdaq
composite fell 9.84 points, or 0.2 percent, to 5,105.55.
Allstate was among the biggest
decliners in the S&P 500. The insurer
dropped $7.04, or 10 percent, to
$62.34 after reporting earnings that
fell significantly short of analysts
expectations. The company said its
earnings dropped because of more frequent and more severe auto accidents.
NRG Energy dropped $2.23, or 10
percent, to $20.04.
A slump in Apples stock also
weighed on the market.
Apple dropped for a fifth straight day
after falling below a closely followed
level that traders use to gauge the
momentum of a stock. The iPhone
maker closed down $3.80 at $114.64
and has dropped 14 percent since closing at a record $133 on Feb. 23. That
puts Apple in a correction, Wall Street
parlance for price declines of 10 percent or more from a peak.
Almost 80 percent of the companies
in the S&P 500 have now reported their
second-quarter earnings, and average
earnings for companies in the index are
set to fall 0.2 percent. If earnings do
end lower the quarter lower, once all

companies have reported, it would be

the first quarter in almost six years that
corporations have failed to grow their
profits.
Still, many analysts are predicting
that earnings will recover in the second
half of the year as the economy
strengthens.
This is an earnings stall, not an
earnings decline, said Jeremy Zirin,
head of investment strategy at UBS
Wealth Management.
In energy trading, the price of oil
rose Tuesday, partially reversing
Mondays steep drop. U.S. crude rose
57 cents to close at $45.74 a barrel in
New York, regaining some of the $1.95
it lost Monday. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by
many U.S. refineries, rose 47 cents to
close at $49.99 in London.
Despite Tuesdays rebound in oil
prices it is likely still too early to consider investing in oil stocks, said
Anastasia Amoroso, a global market
strategist at JPMorgan Funds. Thats
because they still havent been able to
adjust to the sharp drop in oil prices
that started about a year ago.
As much as oil companies are
attempting to cut costs they cannot
keep up with the drop in revenues,
said Amoroso. For me, you need to see
some further cost cutting by the energy
companies.

Fire sale on stuff that burns: Apple slump deepens on

Oil, natural gas, coal down iPhone, China concerns
By Brandon Bailey

By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK These days it seems whatever can be burned to power a car, heat a
home, make electricity or ship people and
goods around the globe is being sold at
bargain basement prices.
Prices for coal, natural gas, oil and the
fuels made from crude such as gasoline and
diesel are all far less expensive than they
have been in recent years.
Consumers are rejoicing. Fossil fuel
companies are reeling.

Exporters, such as Russia, Saudi Arabia

Commodities in general are slumping.
The S&P global commodity index hit its
lowest level since 2002 on July 27, lower
even than during the 2008 global financial
crisis.
The recent price declines are a result of
complex factors that have led to a simple
outcome: There is more than enough fossil
fuels at the ready than customers need.
We just have too much energy hitting
the world, says Suzanne Minter, manager
for oil and gas consulting at Bentek

SAN FRANCISCO Apple is slumping

as the usually high-flying tech stock struggles with the burden of raised expectations.
The worlds most valuable public company saw its stock price drop for a fifth
straight day on Tuesday, falling as much as
$5. 19 or 4. 4 percent, to $113. 25 as
investors fretted over Chinas economy
and whether Apple can keep growing at the
pace its maintained over the last few quarters.
Apple shares are down 14 percent since
closing at a record $133 in February. That
puts Apple in a correction, which is Wall
Street jargon for price declines of 10 percent or more from a peak.
The stock also dropped below its 200day moving average, a technical indicator
that traders use to gauge momentum.
Apple sold more than 47 million of its
signature iPhones in the last quarter, or 35
percent more than a year earlier. That drove

Avengers helps Disney

top 3Q earnings expectations
LOS ANGELES Disneys movie studio
boosted company earnings once again, with
the debut of Avengers: Age of Ultron proving the continued strength of the Marvel
superhero brand.
Net income grew 11 percent in the AprilJune quarter to $2.48 billion, or $1.45 per
share, topping the $1.39 expected by 10 analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research.
Revenue climbed 5 percent to $13.1 billion, a hair short of the $13.2 billion expected by six analysts surveyed by Zacks.
Disney said weakness in the euro hurt revenue at Disneyland Paris. Although parks
revenue grew, the units revenue came in
below forecasts.
Studio revenue gains of 13 percent topped
all divisions, helped by Avengers, which
grossed $1.4 billion in theaters worldwide
since its April release.
Every Disney segment grew except for
its interactive division. There, revenue
dropped and the unit broke even, reversing
a profit from a year ago, as the Disney
Infinity game lost momentum. The game
is expected to get a surge of fresh content

the companys profit and earnings above

Wall Street estimates. But iPhone sales
were not quite as good as some analysts
predicted, and executives gave a lukewarm
forecast for the current period. That has
sent the stock into a decline since Apple
reported earnings on July 21.
Shareholders are also worried about
recent hiccups in Chinas economy,
because the country is viewed as one of
Apples biggest markets for expansion,
said Daniel Ives, a managing director and
senior analyst for FBR Capital Markets.
He added that investors are looking ahead
to the December quarter, which is traditionally Apples strongest. The company sold
74 million iPhones during that period last
year, a 46 percent jump. But it will be more
difficult for Apple to show that kind of
growth again.
Apple is now a prove me stock for
some investors, said Ives, although he
added that new products like Apple Pay and
the expected release of new iPhone models
this fall could give the company a boost.

Oaks hire Dragons Salmon as assistant coach

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With the Menlo College mens soccer season set to begin Aug. 25, Oaks head coach
Eric Bucchere finalized his coaching staff
last week with the hiring of Luke Salmon.
The 24-year-old Salmon recently completed his playing season with the Burlingame
Dragons. A starting defender, and the only
true left back on the Dragons roster, Salmon
was a key component to the team winning
the PDL Southwest Conference championship run in the teams inaugural season.

It was definitely a successful season,

being the first season we had ever had as a
team, Salmon said. The special thing is
we had all came from different areas of the
world. We did well to bond together as a
team.
Now, Salmon will oversee an Oaks roster
composed of players from five different
continents. A majority, however, are from
California, including several San Mateo
County products: junior midfielder Ryan
Onizuka (San Mateo High School); sophomore defenseman Salvador Herrera-Farias
and freshman midfielder Luis Nunez

(Woodside); and goalkeeper Carl Rodriguez,

a junior transfer from Caada College, and
freshman defenseman Alex Avila (Serra).
Joining the coaching ranks at Menlo is
Salmons second foray into NAIA soccer. A
native of Newcastle, England, he relocated
to the U. S. to play soccer at Thomas
University in Thomasville, Georgia. As a
junior, he transferred to the Division-I program at the University of Vermont where he
served predominantly as a starter for two
years.
Salmon relocated to Bay Area on May 1
specifically to play for the Dragons. He was

referred to the team by Vermont head coach

Jesse Cormier, who previously worked on
the coaching staff at Oregon State with
Dragons head coach Dana Taylor.
For Salmon to land at Menlo is fitting.
Many of the Dragons players, including
Salmon, roomed in the Menlo dorms. Prior
to the PDL season, the Dragons even held an
open tryout at Wunderlich Field. The
Dragons and the Oaks also played a preseason exhibition, which Menlo won 1-0 on a
goal by Onizuka.

to fightBerto
in September

On May 30, 2013, Pastora underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He recovered in time to play for CSM on
opening day of 2014. And though he missed
the final two weeks of the regular season with
an ankle injury, the shoulder proved healthy
into his sophomore year.
But then, with Pastora pacing the Bulldogs
in two legs of the team Triple Crown this season, his CSM career was cut short. On March
19 at De Anza, he collided with the opposing
shortstop, causing another dislocation of his
left shoulder. On April 7, he underwent his
second shoulder surgery in three years.

LAS VEGAS Floyd Mayweather Jr. will

return to the ring for the first time since
boxings richest fight ever, facing Andre
Berto on Sept. 12 in what he has said will be
his final fight.
The welterweight title bout doesnt figure
to be nearly as lucrative as Mayweathers
May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao that
earned him a reported
$220 million. But it will
still be sold on pay-perview,
even
though
Mayweather will be an
overwhelming favorite to
win for the 49th time in
as many fights as a pro.
Berto,
a
2004
Olympian, was once
Floyd
thought of as a rising star
Mayweather but has lost three of his
last six fights. Two of
those losses were to
Robert Guerrero and
Victor Ortiz, fighters that
Mayweather beat easily.
I always bring my Agame and this fight
against Andre Berto is no
exception, Mayweather
said in announcing the
Andre Berto bout. Hes a young,
strong fighter who is
hungry to take down the best. Forty-eight
have tried before and on September 12, Im
going to make it 49.
The fight is the last in a six-bout deal that
Mayweather has with the Showtime network, and the boxer has said repeatedly he
will retire when the deal is finished. The 38year-old retired once before, but came back
to fight after taking a short break.
Floyd has been completely consistent

Steve Pastora, an El Camino graduate who played the last two seasons at College of San Mateo, will transfer to Western Michigan University.

Pastora off to Kalamazoo

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Steve Pastora is on the verge of realizing

the dream of playing Division-I baseball. But
Tuesday afternoon, as he tossed a ball around
at a park near his South San Francisco home,
he was thrilled merely to be playing catch.
After an injury-plagued two-year career at
College of San Mateo, Pastora last week committed to transfer to Western Michigan
University. He will receive nearly a full athletic scholarship. He is one of seven Bulldogs to
be transferring to a Division-I school.
Pastora had some D-I interest through his

senior year at El Camino in 2013, despite his

rough-around-the-edges persona. When he
dislocated his non-throwing shoulder sliding
into home plate during a senior showcase,
however, any and all potential D-I suitors
backed away.
I had some offers, but I was actually very
happy I went to junior college, Pastora said.
I really got to mature more as a baseball
player and really got to get my feet under me.
I learned a lot in junior college and Im very
happy. Although (there were) some things I
should have done better in high school, I
made some mistakes and I really learned from
them. And now Im going to a four-year like I
should have out of high school.

Giants rally late to beat Braves

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA Alittle heat and humidity was not

going to discourage Jake Peavy and the San
Francisco Giants.
Peavy threw six solid innings and Hunter
Pence hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the
eighth inning as the Giants bounced back from a
deflating loss with an 8-3 win over the Atlanta
Braves on Tuesday night.
I love the humidity, said Peavy, who is from
Mobile, Ala. Certainly Ive gotten away from it,
but when I come home, I feel good. Ive pitched
in this weather all my life. I love it.
Peavy gave up one run and five hits in six
innings as he continues to pitch at a high level
since returning from the disabled list. Peavy
struck out a season-high eight and walked one
while throwing a season-high 106 pitches on a
94-degree night. Peavy has a 2.63 ERA in six
starts since recovering from back and hip
injuries.
Certainly I expect to make a difference and
expect to win on my day, said Peavy, who

missed all of May and June.

Weve done that the four
times out of the (All-Star)
break and I am extremely
excited about that.
The Giants blew leads of
6-0, 7-5 in the ninth and 87 in the 12th against the
Braves on Monday, but the
Hunter Pence late innings belonged to
San Francisco on Tuesday.
Pences home run capped a four-run eighth after
the Braves had built a 3-2 lead in the seventh.
Gregor Blanco and Matt Duffy (four hits) led off
with doubles, and after an intentional walk to
Buster Posey, Pence homered off Dave Aardsma
(0-1). Nori Aoki added a solo home run during a
two-run ninth.
(This was a) good bounce back, said Giants
manager Bruce Bochy. Great night for us. A
hard-fought win.
Jeremy Affeldt (1-2) picked up the win for the
Giants, who have won 12 of 16 since the All-Star
break. They are 1/2 game back of the Cubs for the

second wild card spot in the National League.

Weve played extremely good ball since we
came out of the (All-Star) break, Peavy said.
You saw the character of the San Francisco
Giants show up tonight. We talked about it before
the game. To come back again against lateinning relievers after giving up a lead in the seventh inning and respond the way we did is a real
testament to who this team is.
For the Braves, the frustration continued for
Shelby Miller, whose winless streak was extended to 14 starts despite giving up just two runs in
seven innings and leaving with a 3-2 lead. Miller
has a 3.14 ERA during the streak, which started
after he lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth
inning on May 17.

Trainers room
Bochy said injured All-Star second baseman
Joe Panik has yet to have an MRI on his injured
back. He returned to San Francisco on Tuesday
and is on the 15-day disabled list.

Colts hoping Gore can boost ground game

By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANDERSON, Ind. Frank Gore came to

Indianapolis to win a championship.
The Colts needed him to get their running
game off the ground.
Now its time for this seemingly perfect combination to start producing results.
I am happy to be here. I wanted to be here as
a free agent. Im here to come and do the best
that I can and be the best player that I can be in
every phase of the game: blocking, catching
and running, Gore said after Tuesday mornings workout. I want to do some good things
here.
While the 32-year-old Gore may not possess
the upside of younger, cheaper running backs,
he certainly provides the Colts with something
theyve been lacking -- a known commodity.
Coach Chuck Pagano has preached the
importance of power football from the moment
he arrived in 2012.
But while Gore excelled as the lynchpin in

San Francisco, the Colts

kept going through players. Donald Brown left in
free agency, Vick Ballard
and Ahmad Bradshaw finished the past two seasons
on injured reserve and Trent
Richardson flamed out.
The results didnt change
much, either.
Frank Gore
Indy still hasnt produced a 1,000-yard runner since 2007, the year
after it won the Super Bowl. And Ballards 814yard season in 2012 is the only time a Colts
runner has topped 700 yards since their 2009
AFC championship season.
Now the Colts are asking the stocky, steady
Gore to solve the problem.
Hes got great vision. He makes great decisions, great reads and hes very decisive,
Pagano said. When he puts a foot in the
ground he gets north and south and he can jump
cut and do all those kinds of things.
It shows.

Since winning San Franciscos starting job

in 2006, Gore has topped the 1,000-yard mark
eight times, been selected to five Pro Bowls
and helped the 49ers reach three NFC championship games. He finished his time there as the
49ers career rushing leader (11,073) and second
in franchise history in rushing touchdowns
(64).
While some questioned whether Gore
might be running out of steam, the Colts didnt. Instead, after Gore initially agreed to
sign with Philadelphia, Indy welcomed his
change of mind.
So far, Gore looks like he hasnt lost a
step.
During the first three days of training
camp, hes broken long runs, caught long
passes, plowed through hopeful tacklers and,
perhaps most important, protected Andrew
Luck against the blitz.
But the Colts also realize that most teams
in todays game need multiple backs to be
successful, so theyve worked on the depth.
Daniel Boom Herron, who replaced

Richardson as the starter late last season, is

back.
Ballard has been cleared to practice after
missing 15 games in 2013 with a torn ACL in
his right knee and all of 2014 with a torn left
Achilles tendon. But Ballard left Tuesday afternoons practice after his left hamstring tightened up.
Indy also drafted Josh Robinson in the sixth
round and still has Zurlon Tipton from last
years team, too.
Add the new weapons in the passing game
and what they hope will be an improved offensive line, and the Colts believe they can alleviate some of the burden Lucks had to carry without a ground game -- if Gore is indeed the missing piece.
We did the numbers, we crunched all that
stuff and took a good look at it, but tape doesnt lie, Pagano said. He has taken great care
of himself so there was enough there, and the
type of player that he is, how he is wired, his
competitive nature. All those kind of things.
He looks great.

Americans go 1-2 in high diving at world championships

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAZAN, Russia The judges made them

wait, but it was job done for the U.S. divers.
Rachelle Simpson and Cesilie Carlton
won gold and silver for the U.S. in the
womens high dive at the world championships Tuesday, but only after a lengthy
wait for scores that left Carlton in suspense
on the ground and Simpson shivering 20
meters (66 feet) above.
Defending world champion Carlton dived
second to last in the final round with a smart
triple somersault, but an apparent technical
error meant the scores didnt come through
for around three minutes.

Simpson, waiting on
the tower in chilly conditions, didnt let the wait
bother her and executed
the highest-scoring dive
of the competition into
the Kazanka river to take
the gold.
Youre ready to go, its
windy.
I knew I was sitRachelle
ting in a good place but I
Simpson
just wanted to get the dive
off, Simpson said. It was a little more
nerve-wracking but I was just really excited.
Simpson won with a score of 258.70
points across the three rounds, 102 of them

earned off the last dive a triple somersault

with one-and-a-half twists. Carlton was over
20 points short of retaining her world title,
scoring 237.35, with bronze medalist Yana
Nesterova of Belarus close behind on
233.10.
Speaking after the medal ceremony,
Carlton was still confused about her finalround wait for the judges scores.
Maybe because I take the dives so quickly, they wanted me to wait after. Maybe not
enough time was taken up, she joked. I was
nervous. We didnt know where I was sitting.
It is high divings second appearance at
the world championships, after the disci-

pline made its debut two years ago in

Barcelona.
High diving has ambitions to join the
Olympics and some of the sports biggest
names have said greater female participation
will be key to reaching that goal. The world
championships this week feature 20 men but
only 10 women.
The men, we have quite a few competitors, so theyre looking really good on that
front, Simpson said after her win. If we
could get a few more women involved, that
would really help our chances. Fingers
crossed for the future and hopefully we can
get some young women to come up and join
us.

FIGHT
Continued from page 11
and hasnt wavered a bit in saying this is his
last fight, said Stephen Espinoza, executive
vice president and general manager for
Showtime Sports. Hes still arguably the best
fighter in the sport so its somewhat surprising for him to step away now but Ive never
heard him say anything other than this will be
his last.
Espinoza dismissed criticism that the fight
looks like a mismatch, saying there were complications trying to do a deal with Britains
Amir Khan and not a big pool of other fighters
to choose from. He said Berto will be aggressive against Mayweather, something Pacquiao
was not able or willing to be in their fight.
Hes one of those fighters who never fails
to entertain, Espinoza said about Berto. His
biggest flaw is hes probably too aggressive.
Mayweather waited until the last possible
moment to announce the fight, which will take
place at the MGM Grand arena where he won a
unanimous
decision
over
Pacquiao.
Mayweather and Berto will get together in Los
Angeles on Thursday to promote the bout,

SPORTS
which is less than six weeks away.
Berto (30-3) won his first 27 fights as a pro
after losing in the first round of the Athens
Olympics, winning a piece of the welterweight
title along the way. But he was then beaten by
Ortiz and would go on to lose back-to-back
fights to Guerrero and Jesus Soto Karass.
Berto, who has rebounded to win his last two
fights, said he will prove his worth in his
biggest bout ever.
Best believe that I plan to bring it to Floyd
and Im not concerned about what 48 other
fighters have been unable to do, he said.
Somebody is getting knocked out and it
wont be me.
If Mayweather beats Berto he would improve
to 49-0, matching the perfect record set by
Rocky Marciano before he retired as heavyweight champion in 1956. There has been
speculation Mayweather would fight at least
once more to break the record, perhaps opening the MGMs new arena on the Las Vegas
Strip next spring.
Espinoza declined to say what he thought
the Berto fight would sell on pay-per-view,
coming on the heels of the record-setting 4.4
million buys of the Mayweather-Pacquiao
fight. It will, however, be cheaper, with a suggested price of $74.95 compared to $99.95 for
Pacquiao.

PASTORA
Continued from page 11
My shoulder popped out, I was on the
floor, I was in pain, Pastora said. The trainer came out and had to pop my shoulder back
in. It was just a burning sensation down my
shoulder.
Even with his community college career
being bookended by shoulder surgeries,
Pastora chiseled quite a resume while on the
diamond at CSM, posting a .352 career batting average while anchoring the hot corner.
He had to battle his way into the starting
lineup as a freshman. Missing the entire fall
ball season following his first surgery,
Pastora played sparingly at the start of 2014.
He logged just six at-bats through 10 nonconference games.
I wasnt 100 percent, Pastora said. But
at the same time, I didnt get the reps in the
fall and there were guys ahead of me. They
deserved a spot more than I did. And sure
enough, when I got my turn, I just tried to do
my best to get in there and do what I could
and things happened to fall into place.
After going 3 for 5 in his first Coast
Conference start against De Anza, he was a
fixture in the starting lineup until mid-April.
Then on April 17 at Chabot, Pastora tore a
ligament in his right ankle. He missed the
final two weeks of the regular season, but
returned with a heavily taped ankle to play in
CSMs regional playoff series at Santa Rosa
Junior College.
The Bulldogs fell the Bear Cubs in the bestof-three series. Pastora went 2 for 11 at the
plate while committing a critical throwing
error while having difficulty setting his feet
on a routine throw to first base in an eventual Game 2 loss.

You are invited!

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Fast forward the 2015 playoffs, the
Bulldogs found themselves travelling to face
the same Bear Cubs team in a best-of-three
super regional playoff series. And while
Pastora was on the shelf, that didnt stop him
from making the road trip in support of his
team. The Bulldogs got their payback,
sweeping the Bear Cubs in two games.
We knew going into that playoff, we were
going to be facing some guys, Pastora said.
Just to come out ahead on that field, after
what they did, the way we swept Santa Rosa,
no one was really expecting that.
Pastora said he was on a six-month
timetable to return to baseball activity following his second surgery. He was back on the
field in three months. In that time, however,
his college plans got turned upside down.
Originally he had a verbal commitment with
Sacramento State, but that fell through in June.
Right after that happened, within five
minutes I got a call from a school that was
interested, Pastora said.
Narrowing his choices down to the programs at Western Michigan and Southeast
Missouri State University, he took official
visits to each last week before opting to
commit to play Broncos baseball in
Kalamazoo, Michigan.
It just came down to those two schools
and Western Michigan was just a better fit for
me, Pastora said.
According to Pastora, other CSM baseball transfers include: infielder Miles
Mastrobuoni, University of Nevada-Reno;
right-hander Sam Hellinger, Gonzaga
University; center fielder Austin Lonestar,
St. Marys; infielder Draco Roberts, San
Francisco State; Tyler Carlson, LewisClark State College; Dylan Isquirdo,
Virginia Commonwealth University; lefthander Devin Mahoney, University of St.
Louis; Brian Ransom, Menlo College;
Johnny Palsha and Matt Gorgolinski,

Bassitt gets first win

in the green-and-gold
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Marcus Semien hit

a two-out, three-run home run in the
sixth inning to help Chris Bassitt
earn his first win this season, and
the Oakland Athletics beat the
Baltimore Orioles 5-0 on Tuesday.
Brett Lawrie added an RBI triple
and Eric Sogard scored twice as
Oakland won for only the third time
in 12 games.
Bassitt (1-4) gave up five hits
and had a season-high seven strikeouts over seven innings. The 25year-old rookies only other big
league win came Sept. 22, 2014
against Toronto while Bassitt was
with the Chicago White Sox.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched the
eighth and Fernando Abad worked
the ninth to complete Oaklands
AL-leading 14th shutout.
Jonathan Schoop had two hits for
Baltimore. The Orioles dropped
into third place in the AL East, 6 1/2
games behind the Yankees.
Billy Burns hit a two-out single in

Vogt, Oaklands All-Star catcher,
struck out three times and is in a 2for-34 funk.
Billy Butler hit a leadoff double in
the sixth and scored on Zobrists
triple to make it 2-0 and chase
Gonzalez. After Mark Canha struck
out looking, reliever Chaz Roe
intentionally walked Sogard before
Semien homered on an 0-1 pitch to
put the As up 5-0.
Gonzalez gave up five hits in 5 1/3
innings. He struck out five and
walked three.

49ERS
Continued from page 11
So far in camp, the defensive front has
appeared dominant.
No, I do not have any concern right
now, coach Jim Tomsula said Tuesday of
the O-line. Are there things were looking
at? Yeah. Am I excited about the guys in the
mix, with our inside two there, yeah, Im
excited about them.
As the 49ers prepared for their first practice in pads Tuesday afternoon, Boone was
hoping for a little contact with new defensive tackle Darnell Dockett given their
old-time rivalry during Docketts time
with the Cardinals.
Boone has moved from right guard to left
guard, where he now works alongside veteran left tackle Joe Staley. These two will be
counted on for their experience and leadership on a new-look line.
Its different, Boone said. I think the
one thing people forget is that when you
play next to somebody, especially in such
tight quarters like we do, you have to know
that person really well. You have to know
what theyre thinking at all times. There has
been some miscommunication and things
like that, but at the end of the day were
cleaning it up. Its just part of the process.
Weve got to keep playing together. ... Its
coming along pretty well.
San Francisco was forced to use timeouts
with the clock winding down last season.
The Niners were penalized at times, too, for
failing to get a play called in time.
It took a long time last year to get plays

SPORTS
off. That was a problem, and I think everybody knew that was a problem, Boone said.
It pissed a lot of people off including the
offensive line, so for this offense to get
rolling, get moving, its completely different but at the same time I love it. Youre just
going, youre not thinking, youre just
moving and youre doing what youre supposed to do.
We just know that weve got to break the
huddle a lot faster if we want to win some
games.
Joe Looney, slated at center with Daniel
Kilgore recovering from another ankle surgery, has impressed Tomsula with his conditioning and is in the best shape of his
life. Second-year pro Marcus Martin has
been lining up at right guard, while Erik
Pears has been getting the most repetitions
at right tackle.
Were out here to play football, Boone
said, Were not out here to do anything
else.
NOTES: LB NaVorro Bowman was set to
be a full participant in the first padded session. Bow will be full go. I am going to
reserve the right to be able to limit, monitor, change up with Bow, with those guys,
Tomsula said. ... OL Ben Gottschalk was
undergoing a foot procedure at Stanford on
Tuesday, Tomsula said, while WRs Isaac
Blakeney and Bruce Ellington both have
muscle strains. ... Veteran RB Reggie Bush
will be treated along the lines of retired DL
Justin Smith, who regularly had days off to
keep him fresh for game day. ... On the troublesome grass in Levis, Tomsula said, I
have no concerns at all that we will be ready
to play football on a game field. The first
home preseason game is Aug. 23 against the
Cowboys.

Dombrowski out as
Tigers president, GM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The end of Dave Dombrowskis

tenure in Detroit came suddenly and unexpectedly like so many of the moves he made to
build the Tigers into an American League powerhouse.
Dombrowski is out after nearly 14 seasons
as president and general manager of the Tigers.
The four-time Central Division champions
announced the move Tuesday, catching people
at Comerica Park and beyond by surprise.
Dombrowski was fresh off making several big
trades last week, and his exit set off rampant
speculation about where he would next work.
Dombrowski was in the last season of his
contract and overseeing a team stuck below
.500, so there was already speculation about
whether hed be back in 2016. But his abrupt
exit accompanied by a somewhat cryptic
explanation from the team was unusual.

He is being replaced by Al Avila, who has

served as his top assistant since 2002. Avilas
son, Alex, catches for the Tigers.
Ive decided to release Dave from his contract in order to afford him the time to pursue
other career opportunities, owner Mike Ilitch
said in a statement. I feel this is the right time
for the Tigers to move forward under new leadership.
About an hour after announcing
Dombrowskis departure, the Tigers held a
news conference at the ballpark, introducing
Avila before Tuesday nights game against
Kansas City. Ilitch wasnt at the news conference and neither was Dombrowski. A message
was left with Dombrowski seeking comment.
Avila said Ilitch hired him Saturday, a day
after Dombrowski completed the last of his
trade-deadline deals. But Tigers manager Brad
Ausmus said he didnt know about the switch
until Tuesday.

SALMON
Continued from page 11
Menlos third-year head coach Eric
Bucchere also served as an assistant coach
for the Dragons. And he said he immediately
identified Salmons instinct for the game as
being suited for coaching.
He sees the game as a coach would,
Bucchere said. Hes intelligent. He thinks.
But hes less of a cerebral player and more of
a thought-out, smart player.
Salmon is intent on continuing his playing career though. This season was his last
in the PDL U23, as per his age. But he is
looking for an opportunity to try out for a
pro team.
Id like to think [Ill continue playing],
Salmon said. Im going to try to look at
tryouts with professional teams. Theres no
teams Im tied to, but its just a matter of
staying fit and seeing who needs me.
Menlo is going to face a new, steeper
challenge this season after winning the
California Pacific Conference North title in
2014. This year, the Oaks transition to the
Golden State Athletic Conference.
The GSAC presents an amazing opportunity to increase our level of competition,
Bucchere said. And its got such a great,
historic reputation as being one of the top
NAIA conferences in the country. So it gives
us an opportunity to sharpen our teeth a little bit.
The Oaks will have to reinvent themselves at the goalkeeper position this year,
with the graduation of El Camino alumnus
Armando Medina. There are four keepers in
the mix, including Rodriguez and returning
junior Nate Bachand, who started two games
last season.
Its a competitive position for us,
Bucchere said. We have four goalkeepers
who all can start, so Im excited to see how
it all plays out.

LYNDSAY RADNEDGE/CENTER LINE SOCCER

Luke Salmon, a left-side defender who

appeared in 14 games for the Burlingame
Dragons this season, was named assistant
soccer coach for the Menlo College mens
soccer team.
Bucchere doesnt designate departments
for his assistant coaches. But Salmon will
be heavily involved in coaching a defense
with two returning center backs, HerreraFarias and Andrew Nyberg.
Salmon, whose only previous coaching
experience was as a youth club coach during
his junior season at Vermont, is looking to
acclimate quickly.
Its going to take time to try and get used
to it, Salmon said. But as with any coach
who comes to a new team, thats what they
have to adapt to.

floral and nursery crops grown indoors, a
major commodity in the county that was
valued at $94.5 million, according to the
report.
I think this shows that things are
improving for our agriculture community,
at least for our nursery industry. And I think
our crop industry will be fine, said Fred
Crowder, San Mateo County agricultural
commissioner. A lot of the downsides I
think are a result of the drought or early season rains from last year.
While the December storms provided
some slight drought relief, it could have
negatively impacted some outdoor farms,
Crowder said.
There [were] a lot of crops ... still out in
the field that had to be left in the field
because equipment and labor couldnt get
out there to harvest. So I think that had a
negative value on our vegetable crops,
Crowder said. Itll be interesting if an El

that might have on our agriculture as well.
Because too much rain can be as problemat-

Before I came to the transit police
bureau, its something that I knew was
associated with the job. So its not anything that surprised me, its something I
came prepared to deal with, Whitted said,
adding its definitely something you dont
really get used to seeing, you get comfortable with it, but you dont really get used to
it.
Whitted and Rueppel said they found
Gomez bleeding from the mouth, extremely
disoriented and unable to get out of his car
as the northbound train approached.
Rueppel called dispatch and rushed toward
the train while waving his arms in a courageous attempt to get the engineers attention. With the train traveling an estimated
45 mph and unable to stop in time, Rueppel
said all he could do was hold his breath as
the train passed and he heard the impact.

ic as not enough rain.

Floral and ornamental potted plants make
up the bulk of the countys agricultural production value by bringing in about $119
million, a $9 million increase from 2013.
San Mateo County continues to boast one
of the largest productions of Brussels
sprouts in the world with nearly $12 million worth grown last year, albeit a nearly
$600,000 reduction from 2013, according
to the report.
In total, nearly $22 million worth of vegetables were grown last year marking just a
2.5 percent reduction as compared to the
previous years stock.
While the industry continues to blossom,
the drought has undoubtedly taken a toll,
particularly for livestock ranchers who
were forced to thin their stocks as their
grounds turned brown. Last year brought a
22 percent dip in the number of cattle and
calves sold at market, totaling about $2.2
million. The low sales were a 45 percent
reduction compared to the 2010-11 rainy
season, which is considered the last year of
normal precipitation before the drought
took hold. But the overall value of livestock reduced by about 8.2 percent or about
a $200,000 loss as compared to 2013,
according to the report.
Crowder said he hopes the cattle industry

will level out, if not improve, by the end of

2015.
I think theyve thinned their herds out
as far as theyre going to unless things get
even worse. But for this season, I think
theres enough forage out there to support
them, Crowder said. Last year, holy cow.
This year, when you looked at the range in
February, there was green grass out there.
The year before, it was just dry hills.
Organic farming is also gaining some
traction as compared to last year, which
could be attributed to additional ranchers
certifying their pastures, Crowder said. The
19 registered organic farms in the county
grew flowers, fruit and vegetables as well as
raised livestock on about 622 acres. It was
a 23.2 percent increase, or an extra $5 million, in gross production as compared to
2013 when 16 organic farms worked about
373 acres, according to the report.
As Half Moon Bay and Pescadero are
home to the vast majority of agriculture
businesses in the county, rainfall totals for
the 2013-14 calendar were stark.
Last year, Half Moon Bay saw just 9.44
inches of rainfall, nearly 50 percent drier
than the previous year and considerably
lower than the 2010-11 rainy season that
brought 27.75 inches of rainfall, according
to the report.

Pescadero saw just 11.25 inches of rain

last season, down from 20.11 inches the
previous year and 29.38 inches from the
2010-11 normal season, according to the
report.
Unlike many farmers in the Central
Valley who are dependent on the state
diverting water their way, Crowder said San
Mateo County agricultural workers are at
the mercy of local conditions.
For us on the coast, we dont get state
water over here and were reliant on water
that falls in the winter to fill irrigation
ponds, and also surface water that runs
down the creeks. So this year, we got pretty good irrigation to fill the ponds in
December, but it didnt do a lot to replenish
the groundwater, Crowder said. If the
groundwater is low, theres less water available so that results in either not planting
crops, or abandoning crops later in the season. Everybody is struggling. Its a
scramble for everybody.

Whitted managed to pull Gomez out of the

car and off the tracks before realizing they
were still too close, as the force of the collision could have pushed the vehicle into
them.
In the video, Whitted can be seen pausing
for a moment behind the vehicle then grabbing Gomez by the arm and dragging him to
safety.
At the time, both deputies said their
training kicked into gear and it wasnt until
later Whitted said he realized how close of a
call it really was.
I dont think that moment of clarity
came until after I got home that night and
watched the video. When youre in that situation, you dont see the danger, you dont
see exactly whats going on, youre just
making split-second decisions. When I was
actually able to review the video later, I saw
how close the train was and thats when I
realized that not only the driver, but myself
could have possibly been killed, Whitted
said.
Gomez was taken to the hospital where he
was treated for minor injuries and subsequently arrested for driving under the influ-

ence, hit-and-run, driving without a license

and violating his probation, according to
Sunnyvale police.
Further investigation revealed Gomez
was involved in at least two collisions
prior to crashing his Volkswagen Jetta on
the train tracks. The first incident occurred
when Gomez struck a parked car in a parking lot on the 100 block of South Bernardo
Avenue then fled. He then struck an unoccupied bicycle at the intersection of Bernardo
and Evelyn avenues, according to police.
Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann
said the incident caused significant delays
of up to 90 minutes during the peak commute. As it could take the commuter train
between a half mile and a mile to completely stop, luckily Whitted and Rueppel were
on scene while reacting in accordance with
their training, Ackemann said.
I think everything worked the way it was
supposed to in this instance; the deputies
were able to save a life, Ackemann said.
As the deputies gathered outside the
San Mateo County Transit District headquarters in San Carlos Tuesday to recount
their ordeal, reporters asked what it was

like to be hailed a hero.

I think its a term that a lot of people
throw around right away. But its like
unfolding in front of us, so we had to do
something. So you dont think about
whether its heroic or not, you just have to
be safe, for one, because we dont want to
become [a] casualty in the situation. So we
had to do something, so its essentially the
best response we could offer at the time
based on the circumstances, Rueppel said.
Whitted said it was a day hell undoubtedly remember and, for his familys sake,
hopes hes never in front of news cameras
for something like this again.
Definitely proud of what I did.
Essentially saving someones life, thats
the greatest thing you could accomplish as
a police officer, a deputy sheriff, Whitted
said. Not exactly another day at the office,
its something Im going to be able to
reflect on later in my career and definitely
be proud of.

Rabbis spread across Montana on kosher mission

By Matt Volz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The roving rabbis have visited more than 60 homes in Montana since July 7, many of them
cold-calls to people they had only learned about by asking around town or from someone
the next town over.

The basic rules for keeping kosher

MEAT AND FISH:

OTHER FOODS:

The Torah, the Jewish holy scripture, identifies specific

animals that may or may not be eaten. It says a land
animal is kosher if it has split hooves and chews its cud,
lists 24 non-kosher bird species and allows only water
creatures with fins and scales to be eaten. All reptiles,
amphibians, worms and most insects are not kosher.
The laws also dictate how the animals should be
slaughtered and which parts may be eaten.

Food without either meat or milk products are

considered pareve. Unprocessed grains and juices, soft
drinks, coffee, tea and candy are considered pareve, and
may be eaten with either meat or dairy. Grape juice
must be certified kosher, and eggs must be checked
for blood spots.

DAIRY:
Milk products and meat must never be combined, and
there is a waiting period between eating one and then
the other.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES:

All are generally kosher if they are natural and
unprocessed, but they must be free of insects.

ALCOHOL:
Wine and brandy must be certified kosher, while most
beer and liquor are generally OK unless flavor has been
added.

UTENSILS:
Separate utensils are used for meat and dairy. Most
dishes and utensils must be ritually immersed and
blessed before they are kosher.

HELENA, Mont. Two young Orthodox

rabbis have traded their studies in Brooklyn
for the back roads of Montana, where they
are teaching the far-flung faithful how to
keep kosher in Big Sky Country.
Eli Chaikin, 23, and Dovid Lepkivker,
25, call themselves the roving rabbis. Their
mission is to reach as many of the states
approximately 3,000 Jews as they can in a
month.
Their message is a gentle one more of a
nudge than a push in what are at best
loosely organized Jewish communities
where relatively few people strictly follow
the dietary laws.
Any step you take is a positive step,
Chaikin said. Its not all or nothing.
Chaikin and Lepkivker are affiliated with
Chabad-Lubavich movement. Chabads
Bozeman-based rabbi, Chaim Bruk, said he
invited them to help him honor the 40th
anniversary of a worldwide campaign to
promote observance of the kosher laws by
the influential Rabbi Menachem M.
Schneerson, known by his followers as the
Rebbe.
Were celebrating a 40-year milestone
when the Rebbe started this idea, Bruk said.
I decided to rock Montana with that.
The roving rabbis have visited more than
60 homes in Montana since July 7, many of
them cold-calls to people they had only
learned about by asking around town or from
someone the next town over.
On a recent visit to Helena, they sat in
Beth Pagels living room as she told them
about the traditional meals and snacks she
prepares for her grandsons classmates on
Jewish holidays. She said she hasnt made
many Jewish friends since moving to
Montanas capital city from Florida seven
years ago, but she was delighted to find two
doctors in town who are Jewish.
Pagel readily offered that she is not
kosher but told them that she knows the
rules: Im not going to offer you a cheeseburger, she said.
The rabbis were polite, never disagreeing
with their host, but they kept on message.

Co-founder of Mr. Coffee

company dies in Ohio at age 91
CLEVELAND Vincent Marotta, one of
the co-founders of the iconic Mr. Coffee
brand that helped revolutionize how
Americans make their morning brew, died
Saturday at his home in suburban Cleveland.
He was 91.
Marotta and his business partner and high
school friend Samuel Glazer turned Mr.
Coffee into a household name after asking
two engineers to create a drip brewing system like those found in restaurants. Marotta
came up with the idea after his and Glazers
construction and shopping center development business were hurt by a slowdown in
the real estate market.
Mr. Coffee helped make the percolator
obsolete as the standard for home coffee
brewing.
The brands fortunes received a boost
when Marotta persuaded retired New York

I would venture to say youre much more

kosher than you think, Lepkivker said.
The rabbis handed her a pamphlet on
keeping kosher and pointed out the listing
of all the certification symbols found on
food products. They ventured into the
kitchen, where the rabbis scrutinized everything, the spices, bread, wine and the
canned goods.
Then they delivered their request: Just
change one non-kosher brand she regularly
buys to a kosher one.
Pagel nodded agreeably, but later shook
her head no when a reporter asked if she
would change anything as a result of the rabbis visit.
Chaikin and Lepkivker said they arent
discouraged when their message seems to
fall on deaf ears. After all, change doesnt
come overnight, Lepkivker said.
After another home visit, the rabbis headed to a grocery store to meet a family for a
lesson in kosher shopping.
Karen Semple greeted the rabbis with two
grandchildren in tow, 12-year-old Ashlie
Weitner and her infant brother Levi. Semple
told them Ashlie moved to Montana earlier
this year and was eager to learn how to keep
kosher in her new home.
The group walked aisle by aisle, as the
rabbis pulled products to point out all the
different labels.
Dairys going to be a little bit complicated. Chaikin said.
All the meat is going to be a problem,
he said in another section.
Then they made a good discovery. Heres
our kosher ice cream, he said, holding up a
container of Breyers vanilla.
At the end of the half-hour tour, Lepkivker
drove the lesson home. How much did we
see here that wasnt kosher, except for regular dairy and meat?
Chaikin answered for him: Probably 80
percent of what we saw is OK.
They said their goodbyes, and Chaikin
and Lepkivker climbed back into their
sport-utility vehicle with freshly pressed
spare white shirts and black trousers in the
back seat, ready for their next destination:
Montanas farming communities and
American Indian reservations near the
Canadian border.

Food brief
Yankees star Joe DiMaggio to become the
Mr. Coffee spokesman. Ironically,
DiMaggio only drank instant decaffeinated
coffee because of stomach problems.
Marotta and Glazer sold North American
Systems Inc., the company they created in
1972 to manufacture and market Mr. Coffee
machines, for $182 million in 1987. Glazer
died in 2012. Marottas family said in a
statement that North American Systems
employed thousands of people at its headquarters in Bedford Heights, Ohio, and at its
manufacturing plants.
Born Feb. 22, 1924, in Cleveland,
Marotta was a star high school athlete and
was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals as a
centerfielder in 1942, but he went into the
military just before the start of spring training. He became a star running back in football at Mount Union College in Alliance,
Ohio, after World War II.

One dinner, but two

meals: The secret to
easy lunch packing
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This is the dinner you need for those nights when youre
already dreading packing lunches the next day.
The concept is simple. You make a bigger-than-you-need
(but still fast and easy) dinner, then you stash the leftovers.
In the morning, those leftovers get transformed into a delicious lunch, no heavy lifting needed. In this case, that dinner is a flank steak marinated in garlic and red wine vinegar.
On Day 1, you serve the steak with skillet-seared
spinach. If youre feeling ambitious, some mashed potatoes
would be nice, too. On Day 2, you take thin slices of the
leftover steak and slap them onto crusty bread with mustard
or into a whole-wheat wrap with a bit of fresh greens and
maybe some mayonnaise or barbecue sauce.

Foods with umami have a meatiness or pleasant earthiness that can feel rich and satisfying. Anchovies, soy sauce, mushrooms,
aged cheese, yeasts and fermented foods all are rich in umami.

Easy pasta that packs flavor

By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If youve been out to eat at any

trendy restaurant during the past five
years or have watched any food competition show, you probably have heard
of umami. Umami is the pleasant
savory flavor resulting from the interaction of certain amino acids with
receptors on the human tongue. (Its a
wonder we dont get into this level of
detail on TV, no?)
Translation: Dishes higher in these
specific amino acids taste better to us,
balanced and complex, even in lowsalt dishes, which is good to know if
you are watching sodium. Foods with
umami have a meatiness or pleasant
earthiness that can feel rich and satisfying. Anchovies, soy sauce, mushrooms, aged cheese, yeasts and fermented foods all are rich in umami.
This weeks mushroom-miso pasta
is a tad indulgent, but tastes far richer,
creamier and more sinful than it actually is. Using nutty browned butter
underscores the earthy mushrooms
umami flavors. Miso paste, or fermented soybean paste, is the real hero
here, though, adding surprising depth

to this easy weeknight dish, as well as

a buttery, almost creamy taste to the
sauce that brings all the flavors
together.
Miso paste, available in various
strengths in most grocery stores
mild white, medium yellow and
stronger red and brown is a staple in
my kitchen, as it brings flavor and
richness to dishes without adding fat
and calories (but note that it does have
salt).
Adding even more umami to this dish
is the nutritional yeast. Its an optional ingredient, but I think well-worth
seeking out if you arent familiar with
it. It adds a wonderful aged-cheese-like
flavor that turns this simple mushroom-miso pasta dish into a veritable
umami bomb, which is a good thing
in the food world.

MUSHROOM-MISO PASTA
Start to Finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
8 ounces whole-grain penne pasta
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces chopped mixed mushrooms
(such as portobello, cremini, button,
etc.)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon white miso paste
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (or
more, to taste)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Bring a large saucepan of well-salted
water to a boil over high heat. Add the
pasta and cook according to package
directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over
medium, heat the butter, allowing it to
bubble and cook until it turns nutty
brown, about 5 minutes. Keep a close
eye on it, as butter burns easily. Add
the mushrooms and garlic, then cook
until the mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7
minutes. Add the wine and stir and
scrape the pan to deglaze, then simmer
for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol.
Whisk in the miso and chicken stock
and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
nutritional yeast and mustard, if using,
then stir until the sauce is uniform.
Season with pepper, then taste and
adjust with salt as needed. Remove the
skillet from the heat and toss with the
hot pasta.

A U.S.-made hard cider thats actually worth drinking

T

here was a day not so long ago when this country

had squat to offer as far as hard ciders. And for
those of us who came of age on this deliciously
dryly-sweet boozy beverage, it kind of sucked.
Having spent my university years in
Scotland, I took advantage of many a
pint of hard cider to warm my soul during the bitter, damp seasons (11
months of the year) and make studying
metaphysics more tolerable. But when
I graduated and returned to the U.S., I
was dismayed to discover so few
choices on our shelves and in our bars.
And what few there were rarely were
worth drinking.
That was more than a few years ago.
Today, we are awash in hard cider
choices, a trend that has piggybacked
on the craft beer wave. Sadly, most of them still arent
worth drinking, tending to be either stupidly sweet or
breathtakingly dry. After a while, I simply shrugged and
chalked it up to the U.S. not having a strong cider culture,
nor much history making it (at least compared to Europe).
Then I spent this summer living (and drinking) in
Boston, where Downeast Cider House ciders flow something akin to water. I first encountered the cider at a
Cambridge bar, where the waitress told me it was produced
in Maine. That turns out to be true mostly in spirit,
despite the name. Its a solidly Boston-based company
(that started in Maine in 2012, but moved for reasons
amusingly told via cartoons on the companys website
http://downeastcider.com/history/).
And the company produces a deliciously murky cider.
Wait... Murky?
Murky isnt often a term associated with delicious. But
roll with this one. The ciders I enjoyed as a too-young
man were crisply, transparently amber. Downeast Cider
House ciders are cloudy. I balked when my first pint was
poured. But then I tasted. Clean and crisp, a little sweet, a
little dry. Which is to say, a balanced cider.

A new grain for

a fresh take on
bibimbap bowls
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bibimbap is incredibly trendy in urban

centers right now. Not familiar with it?
Youll want to be!
Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl white
rice topped with meats, veggies, kimchee
(intensely pickled cabbage) and hot sauce.
Often, the meat is tossed in Korean barbecue
sauce, lending a perfect sweetness to balance out the tangy and spicy flavors of the
other ingredients. Bibimbap is a complete
multi-course meal in a bowl, slipping effortlessly into our grab-and-go culinary culture.
And since catching on, the flavor profile
has expanded. The classic Korean bibimbap
has morphed into the more general grain
bowl menu, where eaters pick and choose
which proteins, veggies and condiments
they wish to pile onto a bowl of a cooked
grains, anything from brown rice to quinoa.
In my take on bibimbap, I celebrate the
traditional combination of sweet-spicytangy with sweet potatoes and peaches as
the sweet elements, and use a less familiar
grain: millet. I keep millet in our house
because my daughter is gluten-free, so I like
to have a variety of options to cook for the
family besides just rice and quinoa.
Like many grains, millet can be paired
with either savory or sweet dishes, served
instead of rice with a roast or topped with
roasted fruit and Greek yogurt for a hearty
breakfast. Millet is full of fiber, which
helps digestive health, but it also is a good
source of B vitamins and minerals, such as
iron and magnesium.
I buy millet in the bulk aisle and keep it in
a large canning jar in a cool, dark cupboard.
Cook it using a 1-to-2 ratio of millet to
water, just as you would rice. Simmer for
about 20 minutes, then let it rest, covered,
for a few minutes for the water to absorb.
My bibimbap is great to serve assembled, or
feel free to lay out the elements buffet-style
and let people build their own.

CRISPY MILLET BIBIMBAP BOWLS

Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 4
For the roasted sesame sweet potatoes:
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut

teaspoon of the sesame oil, the chili powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Roast for 20
to 25 minutes. Toss with the remaining
sesame oil and sesame seeds.
Meanwhile, prepare remaining components. Start by making the peach gochujang
sauce (see recipe below). Set aside.
Next, in a medium cast-iron skillet over
medium, heat the 1 tablespoon of sesame
oil. Add the cooked millet and pat down
evenly. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
the millet has formed a crispy layer on the
bottom. Remove from the heat.
In separate small bowls, toss the radishes,
kale, peach slices and pea shoots each with
1 teaspoon of lime juice. Set aside.
Heat 2 large skillets over low heat. Add 1
teaspoon of neutral oil to each pan and heat
for 1 minute. Gently crack 2 eggs into each
pan so that they are not touching. Cook for
3 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set but
the yolks are still runny.
To assemble, divide broth among 4 serving bowls, then add a quarter of the millet to
each. Top each serving with a quarter of each
of the following: kimchee, roasted sesame
sweet potatoes, radishes, kale, peach slices,
pea shoots, fried eggs and avocado. Serve

Obama, Netanyahu make dueling appeals on Iran to U.S. Jews

By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama

and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu made dueling appeals to the
American Jewish community Tuesday as
they sought to rally support for their opposing positions on the Iranian nuclear deal.
Obama met privately for more two hours
with Jewish leaders at the White House,
making a detailed case for the nuclear accord

SID
Continued from page 1
on the northbound side of the highway.
A CHP official told the Daily Journal
Tuesday, however, that Begadons car was
not at the scene.
It appears he was a pedestrian in the area.
His vehicle was not there, CHP spokesman
Dan Russo said Tuesday.
The investigation is ongoing, he said.
Investigators did not know last week
whether Begadon climbed over the guardrail
at about 5 a.m. to the highways northbound
side or if a collision propelled him over the
guardrail.
The incident was first reported at 5:20
a.m. Sunday, July 26, regarding a car, a
black Honda, that was stalled in a northbound lane, according to the CHP.
Begadons wife, Kristina Zaldana, was
asked by the CHP to put together a timeline
of her husbands last day.
She speculates that her husband either
hailed a rideshare from his phone or got a
ride home from a stranger after a long night
of partying that ended in San Francisco at
the EndUp nightclub on Sixth Street, which
closes at 5 a.m.
She speculates that Begadon was likely

utterly false, saying Israel wants peace,

not war.

The presidents meeting came hours after

Netanyahu participated in a live webcast
aimed at Americans Jews. The prime minister railed against the agreement to curb
Irans nuclear program in exchange for bil-

lions of dollars in sanctions relief, calling it

a bad deal that leaves Tehran on the brink
of a bomb.
The nuclear deal with Iran doesnt block
Irans path to the bomb. It actually paves
Irans path to the bomb, Netanyahu said in
his remarks. Organizers said about 10,000
people participated in the meeting.
Netanyahu, one of the fiercest critics of
the nuclear accord, also disputed Obamas
assertion that opponents of the diplomatic
deal favor war. He called that assertion

severely intoxicated and may have become

combative with the driver or vomited in the
car which caused the driver to kick him out
of the car right on the highway.
She has no proof now and the CHP would
not comment.
Begadons phone was destroyed in the
incident, she said.
Shes trying now to determine whether her
husbands credit card was charged by a
ridesharing company that morning.
Officers also asked Zaldana whether she
thought Begadon may have walked to the
highway from his home on Dellbrook
Avenue in the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood in South San Francisco.
She doubts that was the case.
Begadon, a plumbing contractor, spent
part of the day preparing to party with some
friends which started in downtown
Burlingame, she said.
He hadnt worked for about two weeks
prior to his death and has a history of mental instability. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and tried to commit suicide last
year, she said.
The day before he died, he bought some
nice clothes, new shoes and a comforter for
a guest room at Macys, she said, and withdrew $1,000 in cash from the bank.
He did some yard work for a neighbor that
day in exchange for a meal, she said.
He left his two vehicles at his home

before heading out to party at Straits restaurant on Burlingame Avenue where he was
buying all the drinks, she said. Zaldana
isnt sure how he got to Burlingame but said
she was told by friends that the group ended
up at the Vinyl Room where they continued
drinking until the bar closed at 2 a.m.
Friends said Begadon had become violent
and nearly started a couple of fights as the
night went on, she said.
Begadon wanted to continue to party,
however, so the group ended up at the EndUp
nightclub, which stays open until 5 a.m.
His friends, however, ended their night
early and left Begadon at the club alone.
What happened after that is a mystery,
Zaldana said.
I can only speculate, she said.
He had apparently not slept for nearly 24
hours before his death.
Begadon had recently discovered a
rideshare app and caught a ride with a private driver for the first time after a night of
heavy drinking July 11, she said.
He liked it, she said, because it was half
the price of a taxi.
She thinks he may have summoned a car
that morning by using an app on his phone
but cannot prove it.
A stranger may have also given him a
ride, she said.
Whatever happened, Begadons death
could have been avoided, she said.

Its a tragedy. He didnt deserve to die

that way, said Zaldana, who was married to
her husband for six years.
The couple had recently separated, however, she said.
He suffered from manic depression and
was admitted to the county psychiatric ward
last year on a 5150 hold after trying to kill
himself by swallowing some pills, she said.
He spent three months in an outpatient

But the weeks leading up to his death, he
wasnt himself, she said.
He may have been also using drugs on the
night and morning of his death, she said.
The San Mateo County Coroners Office
did not confirm Tuesday, Aug. 4, whether
Begadons autopsy has been completed.
His body was allegedly found in pieces on
the highway after being struck by three different vehicles.
Originally from Ireland, he moved to the
Bay Area in 2001 and owned Paramount
Plumbing/CP Plumbing Inc. in South San
Francisco.
The CHP will issue a statement after its
investigation into Begadons death concludes, Russo said.

their own arguments, according to participants. He singled out the tens of millions of
dollars being spent by critics, most notably
the pro-Israel group American Israel Public
Affairs Committee.

Participants in Obamas meeting with

Jewish leaders said attendees who oppose
the deal raised with the president their concern over being painted as eager for war.
They said while Obama appeared sympathetic to their concerns, he continued to argue
that if Congress rejects the agreement, he or
the next president would quickly face a decision on taking military action to prevent
Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Kelly Osbourne apologizes for

View remarks about Latinos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Kelly Osbourne

apologized Tuesday for remarks she
made on The View that suggested if
Latinos were expelled from the United
States, there would be no one to clean
Donald Trumps toilets.
Osbournes comment while a guest
host on the ABC show was directed at
the Republican presidential candidate,
whose comments calling Mexican

BOND
Continued from page 1
to concerns over the small schools
potential ineffectiveness in addressing
equity concerns.
Much of her consternation stemmed
from the conflict between a district
policy which aims to develop socioeconomically diverse schools, and the
proposal to build a school which could
be comprised mostly of students,
many who speak Spanish as their primary language, living in one of the
districts poorest areas.
I just dont feel that its progressive
in terms of making balance from a
socioeconomic perspective, she said.
I just cant support it.
The College Park campus, which
closed as a neighborhood school in
part due to academic struggles, is currently home to the districts Mandarin
immersion school and most children
from North Central are bused elsewhere
to other district schools.
Advocates for the North Central
community met Boninis sentiments
by reiterating the requests of residents
to have the opportunity to send their
children to a nearby school, in the
same fashion enjoyed by other families across the district.
Resident Gloria Brown, who served
on the Next Steps committee, said a
school is needed to help unify and
improve the community.
I strongly feel we would have a
strong base for the community to rally
around the needs of children in North
Central, she said.
Bonini suggested officials may be
better served to spend the $23 million
needed to build the North Central
neighborhood school or constructing
more classrooms across the district,
which are necessary to house a wave of
students expected to enroll in the district over coming years.
Trustee Colleen Sullivan, while
struggling to fight back tears, noted

immigrants criminals and rapists

have drawn condemnation but have
also given him a
lead in early polls.
If you kicked
every Latino out of
this country then
Kelly Osbourne who is going to be
cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump? Osbourne asked

of the billionaire, who wasnt on the

show at the time. As she tried to continue her thoughts, she was quickly
interrupted by co-host Rosie Perez and
backed off her comment but was later
forced to issue an apology online after
it received hours of criticism.

the difficulty of the boards path

toward meeting its stated goals, while
also serving the demands of the districts various communities.
Should the board not elect to construct the school as part of the bond
effort, Sullivan expressed concerns
regarding how voters might react after
North Central residents have repeatedly asked for an opportunity to send
their kids to a neighborhood school.
I feel like if we go forward with a
bond, and dont include [the school],
that inaction is action, she said.
Other questions surrounding bond
revenue swirled during the meeting as
well, as officials found they may need
to back away from the tax of $19 per
$100,000 of assessed home value they
had considered floating to residents,
due to the threat such a rate might jeopardize the likelihood the bond would
pass.
Instead, the board shifted its sights
toward requesting a bond which would
tax residents roughly $15 per
$100,000 and could generate about
$148 million for construction projects.
Trustees expressed frustration and
confusion with the recommendation
from consultants retained by the district to forgo asking residents for the
higher tax rate, as they believed pollster Brian Godbe had told them previously there would be sufficient support
from voters to pass a bond which collected $19 per $100,000 of assessed
home value.
Trustee Ed Coady called the advice to
reset the boards sights on a lower tax
rate unconscionable, and cited what he
recalled as Godbes optimism for the
bonds passage as a source of his
bewilderment.
The Daily Journal reported in June
polls showed likely voter support
well above the 55 percent threshold
for a bond taxing $14 per $100, 000
of assessed home value, but asking
voters for $5 more would garner
only 56 percent support, which is in
the margin of error for potential fail-

ure during the election.

The San Mateo City Council has
already approved floating an extension of its existing quarter-cent sales
tax to voters on the fall ballot, which
Godbe also said would also adversely
affect the school districts campaign
for a bond measure.
Superintendent Joan Rosas briefly
addressed the opportunity for the board
to wait until the next election in June
to move forward with the bond, but
ultimately recommended against such
action, citing the dire need for the district to build new classrooms as quickly as possible.
The districts enrollment is expected
to grow to more than 12,000 students
in the coming school year, an increase
of 250 students from the previous year,
and an additional 400 students are projected to enroll by 2019.
Much of the projected enrollment
growth stems from students living in
Foster City, where officials are looking to purchase the Charter Square
shopping center, which could be the
site of a fourth elementary school.
No agreement has been reached
between the district and Westlake
Realty, which owns the site, and
should the two sides not be able to
come to a resolution, officials have
recommended building more classrooms on existing campuses in Foster
City.
Rosas summarized of the boards
struggles to build a consensus, as it
related to the variety of uncertainties
facing the trustees as they approach
the deadline to put the tax on the ballot.
You have to be able to speak with
one voice about this, and Im not hearing that, she said.
The San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District Board of
Trustees meets Thursday, Aug. 6, in the
district office, 1170 Chess Drive. The
meeting begins at 7 p.m.

The remark drew an outraged

response online, with some Twitter
users sending Osbourne stories about
their education, white-collar jobs and
rise from poverty.

SUMMARY OF
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The City Council of the City
of Millbrae, at its meeting
on June 28 2015, introduced an Ordinance entitled:
ORDINANCE
OF
THE
COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF
MILLBRAE
AMENDING
SECTION
1.05.020 OF CHAPTER
1.05 AND CHAPTER 8.25
AND ADDING CHAPTER
8.35 OF THE MILLBRAE
MUNICIPAL
CODE
REGARDING
EXCAVATIONS
AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS
The purpose of the proposed Ordinance is to require all applicants for
street excavation permits
who plan to trench more
than 400 feet or more than
1,000 feet in commercial
and residential zones, respectively, to install spare
conduit for use by others to
accommodate public purposes and telecommunications uses if opportunities
arise in the future. In addition, the proposed Ordinance requires public utility
companies to notify the City
and all other public utility
companies of any planned
trenching and to cooperate
and work jointly on trenching to minimize disruptions
where feasible.
Finally, the proposed Ordinance codifies the current
practice of requiring all
street excavation permittees to submit encroachment permit applications to
the Department of Public
Works and it updates the
delegation of code authority
to enforce the new regulations in this ordinance.
All five members of the City
Council, to wit, Councilmembers Colapietro, Holober, Lee, Oliva, and Mayor
Gottschalk, were present
and voted in favor of the
adoption of this Ordinance.
The proposed Ordinance
will be presented to the City
Council for adoption on August 18, 2015. This Summary was prepared by the
City Attorney in accordance
with Government Code
Section 36933(c)(1).

After deadly attack, Israel

arrests Jewish extremists
By Daniel Estrin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Israeli authorities kicked off a promised crackdown on Jewish extremists following last weeks deadly arson attack
on a Palestinian family, arresting a
high-profile activist accused of
leading a new movement of defiant
settler youths who embrace violence and reject the rule of law in
the name of the purity of the Holy
Land.
Meir Ettinger, whose arrest
Monday was extended in court
Tuesday, is the grandson of U.S.born Rabbi Meir Kahane, Israels
most notorious Jewish extremist,
whose ultranationalist party was
banned from Israels parliament for
its racist views in 1988 and who
was killed by an Arab gunman in
New York in 1990.
According to the Shin Bet security agency, the 23-year-old Ettinger
was arrested for involvement in an
extremist Jewish organization.

The agency would not say if he is

also suspected in the July 31 arson
attack, but it has accused Ettinger
of heading an extremist movement
seeking to bring about religious
redemption through attacks on
Christian sites and Palestinian
homes.
Ettinger, in a large skullcap,
scruffy beard and sidelocks, smiled
at the swarm of news crews before
his hearing. In a July 30 blog post
before his arrest, he denied the
Shin Bets accusation that he leads
an extremist group.
There is no terror organization,
but there are many, many Jews,
many more than people think,
whose value system is completely
different than that of the Israeli
Supreme Court or the Shin Bet,
Ettinger wrote. The laws they are
bound by are not the States laws ...
but laws that are much more eternal
and real.
Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahu has pledged zero tolerance for Jewish terrorism follow-

of Beit Hanina.
ing two deadly attacks by extremists. The attack that killed 18month-old Ali Dawabsheh and
severely injured his parents and 4year-old brother in the West Bank
came a day after an anti-gay ultraOrthodox man stabbed a 16-yearold Israeli girl during a rampage
against marchers at Jerusalems

gay pride parade. The girl later died

of her wounds.
Authorities are expected to crack
down much harder on suspected
Jewish extremist cells, particularly
among West Bank settler youths.
I have heard from the fringes of
our society that there are those who
say there is a supreme law above

the countrys laws. I wish to clarify

that there is no law above the countrys laws, Netanyahu said
Tuesday. Whoever breaks them,
whoever champions hate crimes,
whoever carries out violence, whoever carries out terror, we will act
against them with all the weight of
the law.

Facing Islamic State threat, Iraq digitizes national library

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD The dimly lit, dustcaked stacks of the Baghdad

National Library hide a treasure of
the ages: crinkled, yellowing
papers holding the true stories of
sultans and kings; imperialists and
socialists; occupation and liberation; war and peace.
These are the original chronicles
of Iraqs rich and tumultuous history

and now librarians and academics in Baghdad are working feverishly to preserve whats left after
thousands of documents were lost
or damaged at the height of the
U.S.-led invasion.
As Islamic State militants set out
to destroy Iraqs history and culture,
including irreplaceable books and
manuscripts kept in the militantheld city of Mosul, a major preservation and digitization project is

underway in the capital to safeguard

a millennium worth of history.
In darkrooms in the librarys
back offices, employees use specialized lighting to photograph
some of the most-precious manuscripts. Mazin Ibrahim Ismail,
the head of the microfilm department, said theyre testing the
process with documents from the
Interior Ministry under Iraqs last
monarch, Faisal II, who ruled

from 1939 to 1958.

Once restoration for some of the
older documents from the Ottoman
era, 200 to 250 years ago, is completed, we will begin to photograph those onto microfilm,
Ismail said. He said the digital
archives, which will not be made
available immediately to the public, is more to ensure their contents
survive any future threat.
The restoration process is noth-

ing short of microsurgery, and the

type of damage to each document is
a story and a puzzle on its
own. Some manuscripts are torn
from overuse and aging; others are
burned or stained from attack or
sabotage. And then there are some
that were completely fossilized
over time the combined result of
moisture and scorching temperatures looking instead like large
rocks dug up from the earth.
