Lawsuit aims at Millbrae BART development

Critics seek court’s help in pushing referendum ahead, while developer disagrees
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A group of Millbrae residents
claim in a lawsuit city officials
improperly prevented them from
filing a referendum seeking to sti-
fle development of a new mixed-
use development at the city’s train
station.
Documents filed in county
Superior Court by a group called
Better Millbrae allege their peti-
tion to impede progress of the
Gateway at Millbrae Station was
unjustly denied by City Hall.
Millbrae officials maintain the
more than 1,400 referendum peti-
tion signatures were filed outside
the 30-day window which opened
following councilmembers
approving the project, according
to the documents, but plaintiffs
disagree.
A statement from the group
details their position, which
revolves around the uncertainty
determining which day the offi-
cials signed the documents and
started the clock ticking on the
referendum process.
“Better Millbrae’s referendum
petition against the project was
presented timely under the
California Constitution and has
sufficient citizen signatures and
applicable law,” according to the
statement. “Better Millbrae
demands that the city place the
project on the future ballot so all
Millbrae voters can decide what is
best.”
Meanwhile, attorney Robin
Johansson, who represents proj-
ect developer Republic Urban,
claims officials acted appropriate-
ly in rejecting the referendum,
which she too believes was filed
too late.
“The code says it goes from the
date the clerk signs the ordinance.
Everyone knows that is an impor-
tant date and you have to keep an
eye out for it,” she said. “In this
case, it was done in early May. And
it is up to people like Better
Millbrae, who have been follow-
ing this and speaking at City
Council meetings, to keep tabs.”
City officials declined to com-
ment on the case.

South City offers airplane noise abatement
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco residents weary from
the unrelenting noise pollution caused by
planes trafficking in and out of San
Francisco International Airport are being
offered solace through a sound abatement
program.
In collaboration with the federal govern-
ment, South San Francisco officials are
granting select residents a chance to install
in their homes insulation designed to cut
down plane noise.
The free program established in 2011 has
benefited nearly 6,000 homes across the
city, but the participation requirements are
changing and fewer properties are included
in the most recent map determining eligi-
bility.
Councilman Rich Garbarino lamented the
shrinking boundary map, noting the uptick
in airplane traffic which has grown over the
years as travelers flock to the Bay Area gate-
way amidst an economic boom.
“That zone has really shrunk down, and
I’m not sure why they would do that,
because the planes are louder than ever,”
said Garbarino, according to video of the
City Council meeting Wednesday, Aug. 23.
The Federal Aviation Administration
determines the program boundaries and
specifies only properties exposed to a daily
average of 65 decibels or more noise from
planes may apply to participate.
Vice Mayor Karyl Matsumoto noted the
federal agency justified its decision to reduce
the eligibility boundaries with claims that
though there are more, large planes than
years before, aeronautical noise dampening
technology allows for
quieter flights.
“The planes, while
they are bigger, the
thing was, the footprint
shrunk because they are
more silent than back in
the day,” she said.
Councilman Mark
Addiego said he believes
Rich Garbarino the federal regulations
are not intended to address the concerns of
South San Francisco residents.
“This 65 decibel measurement, it really
works for the airline industry and the air-
port, but not so much the people who live
underneath the airpath,” he said.
Addiego added if more residents express
interest in the program, perhaps additional
pressure could be applied on the federal
agency to again expand the eligibility
boundaries.
A city report said while the federal gov-
ernment will have a final say in allowing
participation, South San Francisco officials
will advocate for those seeking assistance.
“Even if your house doesn’t fall in the
exposure map, reach out to the city for more
information,” said Eliza Manchester, a spe-
cial projects manager for the city.
Residents accepted into the program can
receive home improvements such as win-
dow and door replacements, caulking,
weather stripping and installation of a cen-
tral fresh air ventilation system. In all, up
to $14,000 worth of fixes and installations
could be completed.
For those who previously participated but
may require fixes to the improvements they
already received, repair and replacement
work is available as well. All residential
properties are eligible, including single-
family homes, condominiums and apart-
ments.
About 20 percent of the initiative is
financed by the city, and the rest of the
$736,000 fund is contributed by the federal
government. Gupta suggested there could be
between 2,000 and 3,000 eligible homes in
South San Francisco which are eligible but
not yet participating.
Garbarino, who lives in the flight path,
said the improvements he received on his
home significantly improved his quality of
life.
“It does make a difference when you are on
the phone and you can have a decent con-
versation with the other party,” he said.
With firsthand experience, he implored
other South San Francisco residents to look
into the program as well.
“Please consider it. Seriously. It’s well
worth it. And it’s free,” he said.
Those interested in finding out more about
the airport noise insulation program are
encouraged to v isit ssf.net/airportnoise,

Storm brings hurricane warning to Gulf Coast
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Tropical Storm Gordon lashed
South Florida with heavy rains and high winds on Monday
and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane when it hits
the central U.S. Gulf Coast.
Gordon formed into a tropical storm near the Florida Keys
early Monday as it moved west-northwest at 17 mph. The
storm is expected to reach hurricane strength when it hits
coastal Mississippi and Louisiana by late Tuesday. From
there, it is forecast to move inland over the lower
Mississippi Valley on Wednesday.
The National Hurricane Center said at that the storm was
centered 50 miles west-southwest of Fort Myers, Florida.
Maximum sustained winds were clocked at 50 mph.
A hurricane warning was put into effect for the area
stretching from the mouth of the Pearl River in Mississippi
to the Alabama-Florida border. As much as 8 inches of rain
could fall in some parts of the Gulf states through late
Thursday.
The Miami-based center said the storm is also expected to
bring “life-threatening” storm surge to portions of the cen-
tral Gulf Coast. A storm surge warning has been issued for the
area stretching from Shell Beach, Louisiana, to Dauphin
Island, Alabama. The warning means there is danger of life-
threatening inundation. The region could see rising waters of
3 to 5 feet.
“The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast
LOCAL/ NATION
near and to the east of the landfall location, where the surge
will be accompanied by large waves,” the center said.
At a press conference Monday afternoon, New Orleans
Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the city has “the pumps and the
power” needed to protect residents. But authorities issued a
voluntary evacuation order for areas outside the city’s levee
protection system, including the Venetian Isles, Lake Saint
Catherine and Irish Bayou areas.
Cantrell urged residents within the levee protection area to
stock up on supplies and shelter in place.
New Orleans director of emergency preparedness Collin
Arnold warned city residents the storm has the potential to
turn into a “low-level hurricane” with winds of up to 70 mph.
Miami Beach Police said via Twitter that the Labor Day
holiday was “NOT a beach day,” with rough surf and potential
rip currents. Red flags flew over Pensacola-area beaches in
Florida’s Panhandle, where swimming and wading in the Gulf
of Mexico was prohibited. More than 4,000 Florida Power &
Light customers lost power Monday due to weather condi-
tions.
The National Weather Service said conditions were “possi-
ble” for tornadoes in the affected parts of South Florida on
Monday night.
The storm left many businesses on Florida’s Gulf Coast
feeling shortchanged by the holiday weekend. The area has
already been heavily impacted by this summer’s so-called
“red tide”— massive algae blooms that have caused waves
of dead marine life to wash up along the coast.

San Mateo police arrest armed man after standoff
A 23-year-old man was arrested this weekend after a 90-
minute standoff with San Mateo police officers after an
apparent domestic violence incident, police said.
Police were called at about 11 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 1, to
the 500 block of First Avenue on a report that the man had
threatened his girlfriend with a firearm.
The man, German Alvarado, was found soon thereafter sit-
ting in a car nearby, and refused police officers’ commands to
get out, police Sgt. Amanda Von Glahn said in a statement.
San Mateo Police Crisis Negotiations Team officers
remained in contact with Alvarado, who emerged from his
vehicle after about 90 minutes. No one was injured.
Alvarado was booked into the San Mateo County Jail on
suspicion of making criminal threats, brandishing a loaded
firearm, for being a felon in possession of a firearm and for
possession of a high-capacity magazine.

wounds around 2:20 a.m., South San Francisco police said in
a news release. The victim was taken to the hospital with
life-threatening injuries.
The suspect, identified as Brendan Harris, a bartender, fled

Police searching for
South San Francisco armed robber
Two businesses in South San Francisco were robbed by a
masked gunman Wednesday, and police are looking for infor-
mation on the suspect.
Just before 9 p.m., a man entered one of the businesses,
brandished a gun and demanded money from the clerk.He left
and went to another nearby business and repeated the
offense. Both businesses were in the 1000 block of Mission
Street.
The suspect took off on foot on the 200 block of Holly
Avenue. The amount of money taken in the robberies was not
released.
The robber is described as a white man about 30 years old,
6 feet tall and weighing around 215 pounds. He was wearing
a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up, a light
blue undershirt, black pants and black shoes. A gray mask
covered the lower portion of his face, police said.
South San Francisco teens robbed, roughed up
Two teen boys were assaulted and robbed by a group of
teens along Centennial Trail in South San Francisco
Wednesday, police said.
The two youths were walking along the trail at about 3:45
p.m. when they were approached by a group of about 10
other juveniles. The group circled the two boys, physically
assaulted them, causing minor injuries, and stole personal
property from them, police said. The suspects then scattered,
running off in different directions, police said.

Trump attacks Sessions, suggests DOJ hurt GOP in midterms
By Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
escalated his attacks on Attorney General
Jeff Sessions on Monday, suggesting the
Department of Justice put Republicans in
midterm jeopardy with recent indictments
of two GOP congressmen.
In his latest broadside against the Justice
Department’s traditional independence,
Trump tweeted that “Obama era investiga-
tions, of two very popular Republican
Congressmen were brought to a well publi-
cized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms,
by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department.”
He added: “Two easy wins now in doubt
because there is not enough time. Good job
Jeff......”
The president’s striking suggestion that
the Justice Department consider politics
when making decisions showed his disre-
gard for the agency’s independence. Trump
has frequently suggested he views Justice

In his recent trade breakthrough with

personal and political
bidding. Still, investiga-
tors are never supposed
to take into account the
political affiliations of
the people they investi-
gate.
Trump, who did not
address the specifics of
the charges, did not name
Donald Trump the Republicans. But he
was apparently referring to the first two
Republicans to endorse him in the GOP
presidential primaries. Both were indicted
on separate charges last month: Rep.
Duncan Hunter of California on charges that
included spending campaign funds for per-
sonal expenses and Rep. Chris Collins of
New York on insider trading. Both have pro-
claimed their innocence.
The Hunter investigation began in June
2016, according to the indictment. The
indictment into Collins lays out behavior
from 2017. He was also under investigation
by congressional ethics officials.
Hunter has not exited his race, while
ments of his “America First” foreign policy
and syncs up them with his political strategy
for the 2020 presidential election.
Trump’s 2016 triumph was paved in part by
his support among blue-collar voters in
Midwestern manufacturing states that nar-
rowly supported him over Democrat Hillary
Clinton, including Michigan, Wisconsin,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
His aggressive trade tactics, epitomized by
tariffs and standoffs with longtime economic
partners and allies, are aimed at reversing
what he has long viewed as unfair trade deals
while maintaining support among largely
white, working-class voters who have been
agreement for the project to be built on
BART land currently used for parking adja-
cent to the station.
Better Millbrae members were some of the
most critical of the project throughout the
approval process, as dozens from the group
would pack public meetings and call for
councilmembers to withhold approval until
a more favorable deal for the community
was struck.
Among the conciliations sought, Better
Millbrae members called for the project to
include more retail space reserved for high-
end sellers as well as increased traffic con-
gestion mitigations and more money for
local schools financed by the builder.
Ultimately defeated in their initial
Collins ended his re-elec-
tion bid days after his
indictment. Both seats
appear likely to remain in
GOP hands, but the
charges have raised
Democratic hopes.
A spokeswoman for
Sessions declined com-
Jeff Sessions ment, and the White
House did not immediate-
ly respond to a request for comment. Trump
did not have any public events Monday. He
briefly exited the White House to a waiting
motorcade, but then went back inside with-
out going anywhere.
Trump’s tweet drew a scolding from Sen.
Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican who sits
on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“The United States is not some banana
republic with a two-tiered system of justice
— one for the majority party and one for the
minority party,” Sasse said in a statement.
“These two men have been charged with
crimes because of evidence, not because of
who the President was when the investiga-
hurt by the loss of manufacturing jobs.
“Trump understands that economic policy
is foreign policy and vice versa,” said
Stephen Moore, a former Trump campaign
adviser and visiting fellow at The Heritage
Foundation. “The most important element of
foreign policy is to not just keep the world
safe but to also promote America’s economic
interest. That’s what Trump does — this is
America First.”
It’s also good politics, in Trump’s view.
“It’s a populist position. But it’s also a
popular position with a lot of Americans,”
Moore said.
As he puts a high premium on trade gains,
attempt to define conditions of the develop-
ment deal, group members turned their focus
to the referendum process, with an eye on
slowing construction until their concerns
were addressed.
According to court documents, Better
Millbrae members asked in early May to be
notified by City Hall staffers once the City
Council’s decision was certified by the
clerk, officially starting the referendum
clock.
Better Millbrae members received no such
notification, according to the lawsuit, then

in late May to find the resolution was certi-
fied weeks earlier.

ongoing investigations and prosecutions,
the job of the President of the United States
is to defend the Constitution and protect the
impartial administration of justice.”
Trump has previously pressed Sessions to
investigate his perceived enemies and has
accused Sessions of failing to take control
of the Justice Department. Trump has also
repeatedly complained publicly and private-
ly over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself
from the federal investigation into possible
collusion between the Trump campaign and
Russia because he’d worked on Trump’s
campaign.
Some of the issues Trump has raised have
either already been examined or are being
investigated.
The tension between Trump and Sessions
boiled over recently with Sessions punch-
ing back, saying that he and his department
“will not be improperly influenced by polit-
ical considerations.” Still, Sessions has
made clear to associates that he has no
intention of leaving his job voluntarily
despite Trump’s constant criticism.
Trump is intertwining the issue with a host of
top foreign policy concerns.
Trump, asked by reporters last week about
North Korea living up to its commitments to
denuclearize, said “part of the North Korean
problem is caused by our trade disputes with
China,” pointing to the U.S. trade imbalance
with China.
“We have to straighten out our trade rela-
tionship because too much money is being
lost by us,” Trump said. “And as you know,
China is the route to North Korea.”
Trade has been a common refrain at the
president’s rallies, where he has vowed to
pursue “fair and reciprocal trade.”

Johansson, meanwhile, believes city

Better Millbrae’s efforts.
“The city clerk and city attorney made it
very clear to the other side that when they
presented their petition that they were
untimely and that was the right thing to
do,” she said. “They were clearly untimely.”

Effort to invigorate young
voters takes in $30 million
By Scott Bauer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Democrats know who
their voters are. They just have to figure
out how to get them to the polls in
November — and that’s where the puppies
come in.
Students returning to the University of
Wisconsin-Madison campus this summer
were greeted by therapy dogs for petting.
Those lured by the chance to ruffle a dog’s
ears were then asked to register to vote — a
“Pups to the Polls” gimmick that was just
one of several similar events being staged
in 11 battleground states by the liberal
group NextGen America.
Young people tend to vote for
Democrats, but they also tend stay away
during midterm elections. It’s a perennial
frustration for the party — one they are try-
ing to overcome as they seek to take con-
trol of Congress.
NextGen America, formed by billionaire
activist Tom Steyer, hopes to be a game
changer. Steyer is investing more than $30
million in what’s believed to be the largest
voter engagement effort of its kind in U.S.
history.
The push to register and get pledges from
college students to vote is focusing on
states such as Wisconsin, Virginia,
California and North Carolina with com-

petitive races for Congress, U.S. Senate
and other offices.
NextGen sees young voters such as
Kellen Sharp as key to flipping targeted
seats from red to blue.
“The outcome of this election definitely
affects us, ” said Sharp, an 18-year-old
freshman from Milwaukee who stopped to
register during the dog event the week
before classes started. “I’m just excited to
have a voice and say something.”
A poll this summer by the Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs
Research and MTV found that most
Americans ages 15 to 34 think voting in
the midterm elections gives their genera-
tion some say about how the government
is run. The poll found young people eager
to vote for someone who shared their polit-
ical views on issues such as health care and
immigration policy. They expressed far
less excitement about voting for a candi-
date described as a lifelong politician.
“If we all vote, we can make a change,”
said 20-year-old Grace Austin, who stopped
to pet the dogs at the Wisconsin event and
wound up registering to vote.
Austin and other college students who
registered said they feel like their friends
are more interested in politics than ever
before — boosting hopes of Democrats
trying to reverse the trend of declining
youth participation in midterm elections.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — If elections were decided
by viral videos and fawning media profiles,
Democrat Beto O’Rourke would win Texas’
Senate race in a landslide.
Video of the candidate defending NFL play-
ers’ right to protest during the national
anthem had been viewed by millions even
before NBA star LeBron James called it a
“must-watch.” Another of O’Rourke, a three-
term congressman, thrashing through a
Whataburger parking lot on a skateboard is
almost as popular, increasing the onetime
punk rocker’s already considerable street
cred.
National magazines are suggesting he could
be a Democratic vice-presidential pick in
2020 — or even a White House contender, ala
a young Barack Obama. Sure, O’Rourke may
lose to incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz,
the argument goes, but just staying competi-
tive in Texas, which hasn’t elected a Democrat
to statewide office in nearly a quarter century,
would still further boost his political star.
The White House is taking notice.
President Donald Trump tweeted that he plans
to stage “a major rally” for Cruz in October.
Help from the president was long unthinkable
in a race that for months looked like a Cruz
cakewalk.
The hype machine powering O’Rourke has
brought in piles of campaign cash and gener-
ated excitement nationally. But it also risks
eventual backlash. Voters have often pun-
ished candidates for getting too big for their
political britches — especially if they
haven’t won anything yet. O’Rourke need
only look to his opponent for an example of
a politician whose ambitions irked voters he
needed.
Still, the Democrat seems eager to test a
Trump-era theory that, with such an outsized
personality in the White House, voters may
no longer want their politicians to stay hum-
•
ble.
O’Rourke has largely
welcomed the spotlight.
His stance on anthem
protests landed him an
appearance on Ellen
DeGeneres’ TV show this
week. O’Rourke also has-
n’t disavowed descrip-
Beto O’Rourke tions of himself as
“Kennedy-esque,” given
his boyish good looks. He livestreams con-
stantly and, in March, when he appeared on
HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the
crowd in Los Angeles cheered so much that
the host crowed, “It’s like when the Beatles
came to America.”
“You can’t control it,” O’Rourke
spokesman Chris Evans said of the attention.
He disputed the idea that national praise could
hurt back home, saying it’s “hard to say we’re
not focused on Texas” since O’Rourke just
spent 34 days of the congressional summer
recess campaigning without leaving the
state.
O’Rourke himself has shrugged off ques-
tions about whether too much attention could
create unrealistic expectations. “The whole
thing is not something he’s talked about,
really,” Evans said.
Some Texans think the campaign might
want to, though.
“Most voters in Texas still don’t know who
Beto O’Rourke is. If the first thing they know
about him is he’s like Obama, then that’s
going to turn off more voters than it attracts,”
said Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science
professor at the University of Houston.
Ironically, O’Rourke could ask Cruz about
this problem. He arrived in the Senate and
immediately laid the groundwork for a presi-
dential campaign that saw him finish second
to Trump in the 2016 primary. Cruz then
alienated much of his base by refusing to
endorse Trump at that year’s Republican
National Convention.

Museum fire a harsh reminder for Brazilians Myanmar court sentences

By Peter Prengaman
and Sara DiLorenzo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — Firefighters dug through the burned-
out hulk of Brazil’s National Museum on Monday, a day
after flames gutted the building, as the country mourned the
irreplaceable treasures lost and pointed fingers over who
was to blame.
The museum held Latin America’s largest collection of
historical artifacts, and the damage was feared to be cata-
strophic. One official told a Brazilian news outlet that as
much as 90 percent may have been destroyed. Some parts of
the collection were stored at other sites.
For many in Brazil, the state of the 200-year-old natural
history museum quickly became a metaphor for what they
see as the gutting of Brazilian culture and life during years
of corruption, economic collapse and poor governance.
“It’s a crime that the museum was allowed to get to this
shape,” said Laura Albuquerque, a 29-year-old dance teacher
who was in a crowd protesting outside the gates. “What hap-
pened isn’t just regrettable, it’s devastating, and politicians
are responsible for it.”
The cause of the fire that broke out Sunday night was not
known. Federal police will investigate since the museum
was part of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. But
protesters, commentators and museum directors themselves
said years of government neglect had left the museum so
underfunded that its staff had turn to crowdfunding sites to
open exhibitions.
Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte, the museum’s deputy director,
criticized authorities for starving the museum of vital fund-
ing while spending lavishly on stadiums to host the World
Cup in 2014.
“The money spent on each one of those stadiums — a
quarter of that would have been enough to make this muse-
um safe and resplendent,” he said in an interview in front of
the still-smoldering ruins aired on Brazilian television.
Roberto Leher, rector of the Federal University of Rio de
Janeiro, said it was well known that the building was vul-
nerable to fire and in need of extensive repairs. Duarte said

he was in the habit of unplugging everything in his office at
night because of the risk.
Civil defense authorities were concerned that internal
walls and the roof could collapse further, so officials had to
wait to conduct a full accounting of losses.
Duarte said that anything held in the main building was
likely destroyed. Cristiana Serejo, a vice-director of the
museum, told the G1 news portal that as little as 10 percent
of the collection may have survived. The building was once
home to the royal family, and the museum’s collection
included pieces that belonged to them.
The collection also contained a painting by the Brazilian
artist Candido Portinari and extensive paleontological,
anthropological and biological specimens. It held a skull
called Luzia that was among the oldest fossils ever found in
the Americas as well as an Egyptian mummy and the largest
meteorite ever discovered in Brazil — one of the few objects
that officials could confirm had survived.
Brazil has struggled to emerge from a two-year recession
and seen its political and corporate elite jailed in Latin
America’s largest corruption investigation. The country has
been riven with deep political divisions following the
impeachment and removal of former President Dilma
Rousseff.
reporters to 7 years in jail

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — A Myanmar court sentenced two
Reuters journalists to seven years in prison Monday on
charges of illegal possession of official documents, a ruling
met with international condemnation that will add to out-
rage over the military’s human rights abuses against
Rohingya Muslims.
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo had been reporting on the bru-
tal crackdown on the Rohingya when they were arrested and
charged with violating the colonial-era Official Secrets Act,
punishable by up to 14 years in prison. They had pleaded
not guilty, contending that they were framed by police.
“Today is a sad day for Myanmar, Reuters journalists Wa
Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and the press everywhere,” Stephen
J. Adler, Reuters editor-in-chief, said in a statement. He said
the charges were “designed to silence their reporting and
intimidate the press.”
The case has drawn worldwide attention as an example of
how democratic reforms in long-isolated Myanmar have
stalled under the civilian government of Nobel Peace Prize
laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, which took power in 2016.
Though the military, which ruled the country for a half-cen-
tury, maintains control of several key ministries, Suu Kyi’s
rise to government had raised hopes for an accelerated tran-
sition to full democracy and her stance on the Rohingya cri-
sis has disappointed many former admirers.
As the verdict was announced in the hot Yangon court-
room, Kyaw Soe Oo’s wife started crying, leaning into the
lap of the person next to her. Outside the court, police and
journalists shouted as the two Reuters reporters were led to a
truck to be taken away.
“This is unfair,” Wa Lone told the crowd. “I want to say
they are obviously threatening our democracy and destroy-
ing freedom of the press in our country.”
Kevin Krolicki, Reuters regional editor, said it was
“heartbreaking for friends and colleagues and family.”

Millbrae problems
Editor,
Nice to read “Downtown Millbrae is
cleaning up its act” in the Thursday, August
2 issue of the Daily Journal.
How come Millbrae is letting their once
beautiful redwood trees in the middle of El
Camino Real die?  Why no water? Already
many have been cut down. Why did they
have a fool for a landscape architect who
insisted that those trees be planted on a
mound so the little water they do receive
runs off onto the street?

The zero tolerance policy
Editor,
Of the 2,551 children separated from their
families by Trump’s “zero-tolerance” poli-
cy, 78 percent have been reunited or
released, according to a recent report by The
Washington Post. This turnaround offered a
sigh of relief for many, including students
like myself and others who called our legis-
lators, donated to organizations that pro-
vide legal assistance to affected families,
and took the streets to protest this inhu-
mane policy.
A subtype of this population, however,
has been largely neglected by news and
media coverage — children with autism.
Several studies have shown that children
with autism may react more severely to trau-
matic experiences than those without.
These children, therefore, likely suffer more
so than any other group from separation
from their parents.
Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN),
a disability rights organization for autistic
individuals, issued in a formal statement on
June 18 saying “abundant evidence shows
that undergoing severe trauma such as fami-
ly separation and incarceration can and does
cause disability in and of itself.”
Amongst the autism support community,
it is widely acknowledged that parent
involvement serves as a crucial “best prac-
tice” in the education of children with ASD.
For several years, I have worked with
autistic children and young adults. I am glad
the U. S. government is taking steps
attempting to remediate the psychological
harm that the zero-tolerance policy has
caused. However, 572 children still remain
separated from their parents as of August 1.
These children need their parents to grow
and develop wholesomely, not isolation in
a caged detention center.

Pro-choice support
doesn’t come from guilt
Editor,
In his letter “Roe v. Wade should be over-
turned” in the Aug. 29 edition of the Daily
Journal, Ross Foti claims, without any evi-
dence, that Roe v. Wade supporters have all
had, or have been responsible for, abor-
tions themselves and are just trying to
assuage their guilt.  I present myself as a
counter-example: I support abortion rights
without ever having been associated with
an abortion. I’m sure this true of many oth-
ers who care about access to safe and legal
abortion procedures.  ensure adequate space for bikes on new elec-
Ross also claims to know the mind of the
Creator who, of course, supports Ross’
position.  Again, this seems to be a claim
without any evidence. First, there is neither
prohibition nor even mention of abortion
in the Bible. Second, the Creator’s purport-
ed concern with abortion seems completely
at odds to her indifference to the 20 percent
of pregnancies terminated by miscarriage in
the United States and death of 11 million
children worldwide each year. I guess one
can never know the mind of the Creator after
all. Right Ross?

Who is making
our housing policy?
Editor,
Regarding San Mateo City Council’s
Study Session set for Tuesday, September 4,
it is essential for the public to understand
the history and roles of the California
Apartment Association and the San Mateo
County Association of Realtors.
For years, our politicians have turned to
CAA and SAMCAR for guidance in writing
housing policy.These two entities are in
fact lobbying groups and neither objective
nor unbiased. In fact, their unfailing oppo-
sition to any effective solutions is largely
responsible for the displacement,evictions
and loss of the working class in our region.
They refuse to give an inch in negotiations
and offer weak proposals that are then
adopted by our cities. Our elected officials
are wined and dined by them and fear their
wrath when it comes time to raising cam-
paign money or making hard decisions that
will benefit our communities.

According to a 1997 report by Peter
Dreier of Occidental College, CAA has
opposed renter protections for over 40
years. In 1977, it convinced renters that
Proposition 13 would decrease rents, when
in fact increases began immediately after
passage. CAA and SAMCAR spent millions
of dollars in the last two years to defeat
measures in a handful of Bay Area cities.
Their tactics are notoriously divisive and
brutal, and indeed two of CAA’s hired hands
were indicted for forging voters’ signatures
on petitions in Pacifica. Their empty prom-
ises to help build affordable housing speak
for themselves. There’s just not enough
money to be made in protecting renters and
our cities.

As a daily Caltrain commuter who brings
his bike on board the morning and evening

Thank you Foster City
Editor,
The Foster City Public Works employees,
and especially the maintenance workers,
out in the field deserve your thanks.
These people are on the streets rain or
shine sometimes risking their safety with
the distracted drivers out there. I have seen
these workers cleaning up after a sewer
break in 90 degree weather! A couple of
recent occurrences prompted this letter: A
few weeks ago while slowing down for these
workers, I witnessed a driver almost plow-
ing into a group of maintenance workers on
Beach Park Boulevard. Then, Friday, at
about 2 p.m. while at the dog park, I flagged
down a couple of people who I thought were
with Parks and Rec to ask a question. The
gentlemen stopped and let me know they
couldn’t answer the question because they
were with Public Works, not Parks and Rec.
However, one of them actually took the
time and called the Parks and Rec
Department to get the information for me.
He didn't have to do that, but he did, thank
you so very much.

President Trump, Google
and search engine results
Los Angeles Times
P
resident Trump fired off an angry
Twitter broadside against Google
before the sun rose Tuesday, accusing
the search company of skewing its results in
favor of “fake news” outlets at the expense of
conservative ones. Relying on reporting from
the right-of-center PJ Media site, Trump assert-
ed that Google had “rigged” its search results
to “shut out” stories about him from conserva-
tive and “fair media” outlets.
He went on to broaden his accusation:
“Google & others are suppressing voices of
Conservatives and hiding information and
news that is good. They are controlling what
we can & cannot see. This is a very serious sit-
uation-will be addressed!”
Not long thereafter, Larry Kudlow, Trump’s
top economic advisor, told reporters that
“we’re taking a look at it.”
It doesn’t take much of a look to recognize
what’s going on here. Famously thin-skinned,
Trump doesn’t like the barrage of criticism he’s
getting online, much of it delivered in the form
of news and opinion pieces from the country’s
mainstream media. So in addition to trying to
discredit those outlets as “fake news,” he’s
now trying to sow distrust in the search engine
that leads people to them — and, worse yet,
threatening to take action against them.
Yet Trump has company on this issue. It’s
become an article of faith in some conserva-
tive circles that tech companies are warping
their products and services to discriminate
against conservatives. Among other pieces of
evidence, these critics point to incidents on
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter that, they
argue, show companies disproportionately
downgrading or blocking content from con-
servatives. ...
For its part, Google insists that its only
goal is to deliver relevant search results, and
that its engineers “never rank search results to
manipulate political sentiment.” The compa-
ny won’t say exactly how its continually
updated search technology does work, howev-
er — that’s a closely guarded trade secret.
Still, there’s an easy way to judge whether
Google has, in fact, cleverly rigged its search
engine to elevate bad news about the president
over the hosannas of a grateful nation. Search
for Trump news on another site — Microsoft’s
Bing, say, or DuckDuckGo — and compare the
results with Google’s. There will be differences
on the margins, but the thrust will be the same.
Most of the results will come from mainstream
news outlets with large audiences.
Users have to dig a little deeper to unearth
links to smaller or more specialized sites. But
will they bother? That’s one of the things that
critics of the tech platforms assert: The vast
majority of internet users rely on the shortcuts
that these platforms provide, and won’t bother
to hunt for the stories and tweets — conserva-
tive, liberal or otherwise — that don’t get pro-
moted.
Research bears that out, at least for Google,
where 95 percent of users don’t look past the
first page of links. Don’t blame Google for
that. If anything, it’s a sign of a worrisome
lack of curiosity among internet users and an
apparent disinterest in diverse information
sources.
Admittedly, Google’s search algorithm
doesn’t rank sites purely on the basis of popu-

Some conservatives are calling on the gov-

kets. But Trump seems to be calling for some-
thing different: Using the power of govern-

works. Such a big-government solution, turn-
ing Washington into a manipulator of search

problem it purports to solve. The president

Trump’s rollback of pollution rules to hit coal country hard
By Ellen Knickmeyer
and John Raby
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRANT TOWN, W.Va. — It’s coal people
like miner Steve Knotts, 62, who make
West Virginia Trump Country.
So it was no surprise that President
Donald Trump picked the state to announce
his plan rolling back Obama-era pollution
controls on coal-fired power plants.
Trump left one thing out of his remarks,
though: northern West Virginia coal coun-
try will be ground zero for increased deaths
and illnesses from the rollback on regula-
tion of harmful emission from the nation’s
coal power plants.
An analysis done by his own
Environmental Protection Agency con-
cludes that the plan would lead to a greater
number of people here dying prematurely,
and suffering health problems that they oth-
erwise would not have, than elsewhere in
the country, when compared to health
impacts of the Obama plan.
Knotts, a coal miner for 35 years, isn’t
fazed when he hears that warning, a couple
of days after Trump’s West Virginia rally. He
says the last thing people in coal country
want is the government slapping down
more controls on coal — and the air here in
the remote West Virginia mountains seems
fine to him.
“People here have had it with other peo-
ple telling us what we need. We know what
we need. We need a job,” Knotts said at
lunch hour at a Circle K in a tiny town
between two coal mines, and 9 miles down
the road from a coal power plant, the Grant
Town plant.
The sky around Grant Town is bright blue.
The mountains are a dazzling green. Paw
Paw Creek gurgles past the town.

Tariff battle adds to China’s economic challenges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — China faces bigger economic
challenges than its trade war with the U.S.
Even before tit-for-tat tariffs, growth in
the world’s No. 2 economy was already
forecast to cool from 6.8 percent last year
to a still-robust 6.5 percent this year.
Communist leaders who are trying to
engineer slower, more self-sustaining

lending boom that encouraged businesses

ly turned off the columns of black soot that
used to rise from coal smokestacks. The reg-
ulations slashed the national death rates
from coal-fired power plants substantially.
These days pollutants rise from smoke
stacks as gases, before solidifying into fine
particles — still invisible — small enough
to pass through lungs and into blood-
streams.
An EPA analysis says those pollutants
would increase under Trump’s plan, when
compared to what would happen under the
Obama plan. And that, it says, would lead to
thousands more heart attacks, asthma prob-
lems and other illnesses that would not have
occurred.
Nationally, the EPA says, 350 to 1,500
more people would die each year under
Trump’s plan. But it’s the northern two-
thirds of West Virginia and the neighboring
part of Pennsylvania that would be hit hard-
and families to borrow and spend beyond
their means. But it is a tricky balance to
strike and communist leaders worry the
economy is weakening too much.
Growth in retail sales, a bigger part of
the Chinese economy than exports, was
weaker than expect in July and close to a
14-year low. Factory output and other sec-
tors also decelerated. Beijing responded by
easing lending and boosting government
spending.

est, by far, according to Trump’s EPA.
Trump’s rollback would kill an extra 1.4
to 2.4 people a year for every 100,000 peo-
ple in those hardest-hit areas, compared to
under the Obama plan, according to the EPA
analysis. For West Virginia’s 1.8 million
people, that would be equal to at least a cou-
ple dozen additional deaths a year.
Trump’s acting EPA administrator, Andrew
Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist whose
grandfather worked in the coal camps of
West Virginia, headed to coal states this
week and last to promote Trump’s rollback.
The federal government’s retreat on regulat-
ing pollution from coal power plants was
“good news,” Wheeler told crowds there.
In Washington, EPA spokesman Michael
Abboud said Trump’s plan still would result
in “dramatic reductions” in emissions,
deaths and illness compared to the status
quo, instead of to the Obama plan. Obama’s
before it gets better,” said Nomura econo-
mists in a report.
Trump’s advisers say the slowdown gives
Washington leverage in the trade battle.
“Their economy looks terrible, ” said
Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry
Kudlow, at a Cabinet meeting this month.
But analysts closer to China say it is
doing better than Americans might think.
“A lot of this economic slowdown is
really the result of an intended policy,”
said Tai Hui of J. P. Morgan Asset
Management in Hong Kong. “The overall
growth momentum is still relatively
healthy and certainly broadly in line with
the authorities’ plans.”
Here is a breakdown of China’s econom-
ic strengths and weaknesses:

July’s downturn was more abrupt than
policymakers wanted.
Growth in factory output slowed to 6 per-

Clean Power Plan targeted climate-chang-
ing carbon dioxide, but since coal is the
largest source of carbon dioxide from fossil
fuels, the Obama plan would have curbed
other harmful emissions from the coal-fired
power plants as well.
About 160 miles to the south of Grant
Town, near the state capital of Charleston,
shop owner Doris Keller figures that if
Trump thinks something’s for the best,
that’s good enough for her.
“I just know this. I like Donald Trump and
I think that he’s doing the right thing,” said
Keller, who turned out to support Trump
Aug. 21 when he promoted his rollback pro-
posal. She lives five miles from the 2,900-
megawatt John Amos coal-fired power
plant.
“I think he has the best interests of the
regular common people at the forefront,”
Keller says.
Trump’s Affordable Clean Energy program
would dismantle President Barack Obama’s
2015 Clean Power Plan, which has been
caught up in court battles without yet being
implemented.
The Obama plan targeted climate-chang-
ing emissions from power plants, especial-
ly coal. It would have increased federal regu-
lation of emissions from the nation’s elec-
trical grid and broadly promoted natural gas,
solar power and other cleaner energy.
Trump’s plan would cede much of the fed-
eral oversight of existing coal-fired power
plants and drop official promotion of clean-
er energy. Individual states largely would
decide how much to regulate coal power
plants in their borders. The plan is open for
public review, ahead of any final White
House decision.
“I’m getting rid of some of these ridicu-
lous rules and regulations, which are killing
our companies ... and our jobs,” Trump said
at the rally.
from their 2010 peak. That cuts revenue for
Australia and other producers.
Chinese leaders want to shift emphasis
from the headline growth number to pover-
ty reduction, energy efficiency and the
environment. But they need to keep the
expansion above 6 percent to hit their tar-
get of doubling incomes from 2010 levels
by 2020.
China’s yuan has sunk in value against
the dollar. That helps exporters by making
Chinese toys, appliances and other goods
cheaper for American consumers. But regu-
lators worry it will trigger an outflow of
money, making it harder for companies to
borrow.
China’s response
Regulators eased credit controls, prom-
ised more spending on public works and
announced policy changes aimed at mak-
ing Chinese industry more productive.
Banks have been told to lend more freely
to small exporters that might be hurt by
Trump’s tariffs. That temporarily back-
tracks on government efforts to rein in ris-
ing debt.
Beijing sees the “growth slowdown as a
bigger near-term risk,” said UBS econo-
mists in a report.

Reigning CCS champ
Notre Dame-Belmont
refuses to back down
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Notre Dame-Belmont’s volleyball elite
doesn’t get any better than the dynamic duo
of the Class of 2017 — Katie Smoot and
Tammy Byrne.
The four-year varsity tandem, each cur-
rently playing in the NCAA Division I
ranks, led the Tigers to a state champi-
onship as seniors. That’s
a tough act to follow. But
an impossible one? That
remains to be seen.
NDB may posses just as
deep a well of talent this
season. Does anyone
bring the sheer terminat-
ing power of Smoot —
Vanessa Pan now a sophomore at
University of Arizona —
who in 2016 led the Central Coast Section in
kills? Probably not, although senior Kendall
Peters has similar star quality as a beach vol-
leyball player, for which she is committed to
play at Tulane University next season.
After Peters’ busy summer on the beach
circuit, however, the outside hitter is having
her front-row play limited to start her senior
season.
The Tigers can afford the luxury of resting
Peters because of their depth up front, a
depth that has earned the trio of senior
Vanessa Pan, and sophomores Abby Miller
and Kelly Schackel the honor of Daily
Journal Athletes of the Week.
“I’ve got great options,” NDB head coach
Jen Agresti said. “I’ve got a deep bench. And
with Abby Miller, Kelly Schackel and

amazing. Throw Kendall Peters into the mix
and it’s quite a lot of talent.”

chemistry of Smoot and Byrne. Like
their predecessors, Miller and Schackel
have a long history of playing togeth-
er, one that predates their arrival at
NDB by quite a few years. They played
the past four years at Redwood City’s
Red Rock Volleyball Club.
“They’re different styles of players,”
NDB head coach Jen Agresti said con-
trasting this year’s super sophomores
to Smoot and Byrne. “Of course, so
talented, but completely different
styles of play.”
The sophomores have plenty in
common with NDB’s volleyball elite
duo though. Both were freshmen
starters on a Tigers team that captured a
Central Coast Section Division IV
championship, the program’s third in
four years.
And the best may yet be to come.
NDB is off to a 7-1 start this year.
And with the ferocious beginnings,
the Tigers are thus far in step with the
2016 state-championship squad.
Last Thursday, NDB got back in the
win column in the annual “Battle of
Belmont” with Carlmont. The Tigers
dropped the annual rivalry matchup
last year for the first time since 2012.
And over the weekend, NDB took
third place at the prestigious Milpitas
Spikefest, including a win over power-
house Mitty. This also echoes 2016,
when the Tigers defeated Mitty for the
first time in history en route to taking
Miller said of NDB’s win over Los
Altos in the third-place match at
Spikefest. “I think our team went into
it not having too high or too low of
expectations. So, we just played our
hardest and it all worked on it the end.”
The 6-foot Miller steadied the Tigers
at outside hitter, totaling 32 kills and
a .364 hitting percentage through the
five matches, which also included wins
over Clovis West and Independence,
and a loss to Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Only Pan had more team kills in the
tournament with 37.
Miller’s all-around play makes her
an intriguing prospect. She came close
to a double-double in each of NDB’s
two non-tourney wins last week. In
last Tuesday’s four-set win over
Lowell-SF, she totaled a match-high
16 kills, a career-high nine digs and
scored two blocks. In the Carlmont
match, she added 11 kills, eight digs
and two more blocks.
Agresti said that all-around feel is
similar to that which made Byrne —
now a redshirt freshman at San Diego
State — a Tigers great.
“But Abby’s ceiling and roof are just
so much higher, athletically,” Agresti
said.
Schackel makes for a versatile front-
row presence, and one that loomed
large against Carlmont. The 6-2 oppo-
site hitter slid over to middle for the
first time this season to pick apart the
Scots’ defense. In a five-set win that
went down to the wire, Schackel scored
a career-high 18 kills.
“I was really smart with my plays
and knew what the other team didn’t
“And I just tried to put the ball away.”
In doing so, she was the picture of
consistency. Schackel totaled three
kills in each the first and fifth sets, and
four kills in the second, third and
fourth sets.
“She held that pace through the
whole match,” Agresti said.
When the match was on the line,
though, NDB turned to the senior Pan
to finish off the win.
The Tigers nearly let it slip away.
After cruising through the first two
sets 25-13, 25-17, Carlmont rebound-
ed with two wins 25-23, 25-20. Then
after NDB opened with a 5-1 lead in the
decisive Game 5, the Scots stormed
back to ultimately tie it at 12-12.
“Panic started to set in,” Agresti
said. “Then, obviously, we settled
down.”
Pan took over from there. She scored
her ninth and final match kill to give
the Tigers a 13-12 lead.
“One great things about Vanessa is
she will keep her cool,” Miller said.
“It doesn’t matter the situation; she’s
as cool as a cucumber.”
Peters followed with her 12th match
kill, an anomaly for the senior as NDB
is limiting her swings thus far. She has
totaled just 11 cumulative kills in six
other matches this season.
With the Tigers’ tremendous depth,
though, they’ve hardly missed a beat.
Case in point, Pan finishing off the
Carlmont victory in exciting fashion
with second block of the night.
“[Pan] is definitely a star player on
this team,” Schackel said. “She helps
balance the team. She can hit well. She
can block well. She can do it all.”

Twitter, calling
the former 49ers
quarterback an
“All American

Colin also posted a

but it was renegotiated into a
multi-year deal to make him one of
the faces of Nike’s 30th anniver-
sary “Just Do It” campaign. Nike

contract.
The source says Nike will feature
Kaepernick on several platforms,
including billboards, television

‘Brothers’ reunite as Bulldogs to lead shutout
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Beastie and Bubba haven’t
played together since they were
sixth-graders.
Now the heart and soul of the
College of San Mateo Bulldogs’
defense, freshman T.C. “Beastie”
Lavulo and sophomore Laipeli
“Bubba” Palu look like they
haven’t missed a beat.
The two linebackers were so
synced up for Saturday, it seemed
as though they were brothers. The
result? Tim Tulloch’s first win as
CSM’s new head coach in a 42-0
triumph over College of the
Siskiyous in the non-conference
season opener at Bulldog Stadium.
“The communication and the
chess are smooth,” Tulloch said.
“The linebacker corps is really the
quarterbacks of the defense … and
they did a nice job with it
Saturday.”
The reason Lavulo and Palu have
such a brotherly connection is
because they practically are broth-
ers. Technically, they are cousins —
who essentially grew up as brothers
— living under the same room in a
Burlingame household shared with
their grandparents, two sets of par-
ents, along with Lavulo’s two
brothers and Palu’s four siblings.
“That family is just a great foot-
ball family,” Tulloch said. “The
Palu and the Lavulo family, they’re
like Bulldog royalty. They’ve been
a big part of our program’s forever.”

CSM 42, Siskiyous 0
PATRICK NGUYEN
CSM linebackers T.C. Lavulo, above,
and Bubba Palu, right, played their
first game together since their
Peninsula Pop Warner days.
Both Palu’s brother Benji (now at
recruiter at Cal) and Lavulo’s broth-
er David (who plays at Humboldt
State with Palu’s other brother
Manase) were great players at CSM.
And Palu and Lavulo look as though
they’re each set to follow a path of
transferring to four-year schools.
According to first-year defensive
coordinator Hansen Sekona, both
are Division I prospects — an easy
fit for Palu at 6-1, 225 pounds.
Lavulo, at 5-11, 245 faces more of a
challenge in impressing DI scouts.
Sekona said Lavulo’s play, not his
stature, should have the final say.
“With T.C., a lot of those guys
overlook him because of his size,”
Sekona said. “But you just have to
look at the films. … He plays 6-3.”
The two haven’t played since
their Peninsula Pop Warner days
with the West Bay Rams in grade
school, after which they landed at
two different high schools. Palu
graduated from Burlingame in 2016,
and Lavulo from Serra in 2017.
“Playing with each other for the
first time since Pop Warner, our
family was so happy to see that,”
Palu said.
And oh how they dominated. Palu
totaled a team-high seven tackles.
Lavulo added five. While the CSM
offense quickly grinded down
Siskiyous’ defense to all but record
two 100-yard rushing performanc-
es — sophomore Cameron Taylor
carried 14 times for 104 yards and a
touchdown, while sophomore
Rahsaan Fontenette carried 12
times for 98 yards — the defense
was on point from the get-go.
The Bulldogs were better 502-161
in total yards, including just 68 total

rushing yards for Siskiyous.
“I thought we did well,” Lavulo said.
“Coach prepared us all well. We came
in and saw what we expected to come.”
With the Bulldogs scoring 42
points, it might seem as though
they scored six touchdowns and
called it a day. It wasn’t nearly that
easy though.

times, including a 61-yard pass
from Matt Adamkiewicz to fresh-
man Connell Russell midway
through the second quarter; a 1-
yard run by Taylor two minutes
later; and a 9-yard pass from
Adamkiewicz to sophomore Rajae
Johnson to start the fourth quarter.
It was the foot of Cesar Silva that
provided the steadiest stream of scor-
ing though, as the sophomore place
kicker booted four field goals of 44,
26, 32 and 42 yards. CSM also added
a first-quarter safety when Siskiyous
sent a punt snap flying out of the
back of the end zone.
Adamkiewicz was a pleasant sur-
prise for CSM, as the transfer soph-
omore was 13-of-19 passing for
186 yards and two touchdowns. His
61-yard connection with Russell
was into tight man coverage with
Adamkiewicz timing a perfect pass
to the apex of Russell’s jump 20
yards past the line of scrimmage. As
the defender fell to the turf, Russell
sprinted up the CSM sideline for the
team’s first TD of the season.
Sophomore QB Kamalii Akina
took the start but departed midway
through the first quarter after two
series, and a 3-for-4, 30-yard pass-
ing day.
“You never know when you’re
going to get your chance,” Tulloch
said. “[Adamkiewicz] got pushed right
to the front at the end of the second
quarter and did a great job with it.”

Mack after the two entered the NFL together
as the Raiders’ first two draft picks in 2014,
was particularly rattled by the trade.
“It’s not what anybody wanted, I think
that’s clear,” Carr said Monday. “But it is
what it is, it’s part of the business. It’s one
of those sucky things that happen. The
hardest part for me is, obviously you lose a
good football player, but he’s my brother.
That’s one of my best friends.”
Mack, the 2016 Defensive Player of the
Year, was traded to the Bears after skipping
the Raiders’ offseason workouts and hold-
ing out in training camp for a new contract.
Oakland, which included a second-round
pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-rounder
in the deal, received Chicago’s first-round
picks in the next two years along with a
sixth-round selection in 2019 and a third-
round pick in 2020.
Shortly after the trade, Mack signed the

opening two playoff events in the FedEx Cup.
He closed with a 4-under 67 on Monday,
making three straight birdies to close out
the front nine and keeping his distance the
rest of the way for a two-shot victory over
Justin Rose on the TPC Boston.
“I wouldn’t have written it any better, to be
honest with you,” DeChambeau said. “I’ve
been playing some great golf this whole
year. And I knew it was a matter of time
before something cool showed up.”
Vijay Singh won the opening two FedEx
Cup events in 2008, when the points sys-
tem was different and points were not reset

richest deal ever given to a defensive play-
er: six years, $141 million, with $90 mil-
lion guaranteed.
“It was very difficult for us . but it was
also like a bittersweet moment for us,” Ellis
said. “He got what he wanted and we know
it’s a part of the business. A lot of people
were texting me and calling me like, ‘Say it
ain’t true.’ But it’s true.”
Several players took to social media to
express their shock and disbelief after the
deal was announced. Carr posted ‘No way’
on Twitter. Irvin had a similar, albeit more
colorful, message.
Oakland coach Jon Gruden tried to clear
the air when he addressed his team before
Monday’s practice as the Raiders prepared
for their season opener against the Los
Angeles Rams next Monday night.
“We don’t have to like or agree with
everything,” Carr said. “We don’t get paid
for that. We get paid to come in here, come
together as a team and win together. It’s
hard because we lost him, but I can promise
you we’re going to be ready to play.”
Carr and Mack became quick friends as
rookies and spent many hours discussing
ways to turn around a franchise that had
Singh to effectively wrap up the $10 mil-
lion prize early.
DeChambeau, with his third victory this
year, was assured of being the No. 1 seed
when he gets to the Tour Championship, no
matter what happens next week at the third
playoff event outside Philadelphia.
And he would appear to be a shoo-in to be
one of U.S. captain Jim Furyk’s three Ryder
Cup picks to be announced Tuesday. The idea
is to find the hottest player to fill out the
team, and no one has been close to
DeChambeau over the last two weeks.
The 24-year-old Californian is known as
the “Mad Scientist” for his approach to the
game, from his single-length clubs (34
inches, roughly the length of a 7-iron), to
his work on biomechanics to the calcula-
tions that go into every shot.
Nine calculations, to be exact.
DeChambeau doesn’t want to give away
all his secrets, but they range from yardage
been mired in chaos for more than a decade.
They also talked about winning a Super
Bowl together, plans that were scrapped
when Mack was abruptly shipped to the
Bears.
“When we showed up here we wanted to
change the culture and show people what it
meant to work, and I think we did that,” Carr
said. “I feel good about that. We did change
the dynamic of how things are done from
the people in the locker room. I believe that
100 percent.
“We won’t be able to win a ring together.
That’s the only thing left on our list that
won’t happen. I wish him the best, besides
when he plays us.”
While attempting to explain the trade to
reporters on Sunday, Gruden repeatedly
pointed to the $90 million in guaranteed
money that the Bears gave Mack and said
the Raiders offer wasn’t close to that.
That was particularly difficult for Carr.
During the 2017 offseason the Raiders
signed their young quarterback to a five-
year, $125 million extension. Right guard
Gabe Jackson was also given a hefty raise
that same year, while Ellis and wide receiver
Seth Roberts signed new deals with Oakland
and wind to air pressure and adrenaline.
“He’s facing the biggest and best fields,”
Rose said. “There’s a lot of conjecture about
how he goes about it. But when he delivers
as he is now, it just proves it.”
How much better can he get?
“You can always get better,” DeChambeau
said. “How much? I would say it depends on
what I can do in the restrictions of my bio-
mechanics. So it’s all about error tolerances
and being ... less sensitive to error. So that
when you do feel like you mess up, it’s not
going to be that big of a mess-up. I hope
that makes sense.
“But I can say there is another level.”
DeChambeau, who started the year at No.
99 in the world, moved to No. 7, one spot
past Rory McIlroy. He finished at 16-under
268 and made $1,620,000 for the second
straight week.

Abraham Ancer, and among 10 players with-

That left little room for Mack under the
salary cap, even though Carr specifically
said he structured his contract in order to
make it easier for the team to keep Mack.
“That’s what makes it hard,” Carr said.
“We all saw it coming. You just hope it can
work out. We all did our best to make sure it
could, and it just didn’t work out that way.”
Arden Key, Oakland’s third-round pick
who is expected to get the majority of play-
ing time in place of Mack, had been hopeful
of learning from a player who compiled 40
1/2 sacks in his first four NFL seasons.
“I wish I could have been able to play with
him,” Key said. “It was very shocking. I
thought the deal was going to get done.”
No tes : The Raiders continued to shake up
their roster and signed veteran wide receiver
Brandon LaFell. LaFell spent the past two
seasons in Cincinnati and had 52 catches
for 548 yards and three touchdowns in
2017. Oakland also claimed defensive tack-
le Brian Price off waivers from the Dallas
Cowboys. To clear room, the team waived
wide receiver Johnny Holton and defensive
tackle Treyvon Hester.
in four shots of the lead, DeChambeau had a
two-putt birdie from 50 feet on No. 7, took
the lead with a 12-foot birdie putt on the
220-yard eighth hole, and then hit his
approach to 6 feet to a back right pin at No.
9 for his third straight birdie.
Cameron Smith of Australia tried to make a
run at him with a pair of late birdies, but
DeChambeau answered with a birdie on No. 15
to keep his lead at two shots. Needing an eagle
to catch him on the par-5 18th, Smith came up
short and into the hazard and made bogey.
Rose birdied three of his last four holes
for a 68 and wound up alone in second.
Ancer couldn’t keep pace, dropping three
shots in the tough four-hole stretch early on the
back nine. The 27-year-old Mexican hit into
hazard on the 18th and finished with a bogey
for a 73. The small consolation for Ancer was
moving from No. 92 to No. 56, which at least
made him among the top 70 who advance to the
BMW Championship at Aronimink.

when running back David Coker went down
with a severe knee injury late in the fourth
quarter, casting doubt on two-way starter’s
senior season.
“It’s in doubt,” Walsh said.
In the previous week’s opener, a 41-22
loss Aug. 25 to Serra-Gardena in Mountain
View, Serra lost returning all-West Catholic
Athletic League linebacker E.J. Lahlouh to a
left ankle sprain. The senior did not play
Saturday, and is questionable for this week’s
final non-league game at Pittsburg.
Lahlouh was on the sideline Saturday,
walking around without crutches, though his
left ankle was heavily taped. Walsh said that
injury projects as a short-term one.
“He’s so valuable to the team,” Walsh
said. “And they don’t hang preseason ban-
ners in the gym. So, we’ll approach with
caution.”
The loss of Coker looks to be more seri-
ous, possibly even season-ending. Making
it even tougher to digest was it essentially

game, with the Padres already staked to a 24-
point lead.
The senior took a screen pass from quar-
terback Luke Bottari and found running

gain into the red zone. At the end of the play,
however, Coker took a hit, fumbled the ball
away and crashed to the turf in immediate
pain. He was carried off the field and spent
the remainder of the game on the medical

It was a varied Padres cast that wrestled a
lead amid a back-and-forth first quarter.
There were four lead changes through the
opening 12 minutes, with the Elk Grove

game with such efficiency, they possessed
the ball for nearly 10 of those minutes.
“We don’t have as much firepower as
Serra,” Elk Grove head coach John Heffernan
said. “So the strategy was to come in and eat
up as much yards and clock as possible.”
While Elk Grove’s offense managed the
clock with the use of the read-option

Rango answered right back, taking the ensu-
ing kickoff 85 yards for a score to swing
Serra in front 7-3. It was one of two epic
returns for Rango on the day. He also opened
the second half with a 96-yard touchdown
return, falling just 1 yard shy of his career-
best last season against St. Francis.
“He’s proven he’s an explosive returner
here for Serra,” Walsh said. “And our return

Elk Grove re-took the lead at 10-7, and got
the ball right back. But this time, the Padres
defense got involved when senior defensive
end Jason Venturi produced his first career
interception and returned it 49 yards to put
Serra up 13-10.
It was the first of five straight Serra
scores.
Bottari closed the opening quarter with a
25-yard scoring pass to junior Terence
Loville for a 20-10 advantage. Then after
Rango’s kickoff return to start the second
half improved the lead to 27-10, senior cor-
nerback Nate Sanchez recovered a fumble
and advanced it 22 yards for a score.
Bottari closed Serra’s scoring with a
career-high run of 55 yards for a touchdown.
The senior quarterback gained 184 total
yards, including 117 by air on 11-of-13
passing. The total now gives Bottari 4,210
career passing yards, leaving him just 56
yards shy of Serra’s all-time career passing
record of 4,266 set by Leki Nunn in 2016.
Following the game, Bottari reflected on
the two deaths affecting Serra High School
throughout the week, and dedicated
Saturday’s game to Blake Bottarini.
“We’re playing for Blake,” Bottari said.
“Serra has been through a lot. We’re going
to bounce back from that.”

Study shows health, reaction-time declines in firefighters
By Keith Ridler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE, Idaho — Randy Brooks’ son had a
request three years ago: What could his dad
do to make wildland firefighting safer?
To Brooks, a professor at the University
of Idaho’s College of Natural Resources who
deals with wildland firefighting, it was more
of a command.
His son, Bo Brooks, is a wildland fire-
fighter who a few days earlier during that
2015 fire season fled a wall of flames that
killed three of his fellow firefighters in east-
ern Washington.
The result of the conversation was an
online survey that drew some 400 firefight-
ers who mostly identified mental and physi-
cal fatigue as the primary cause of injuries
to firefighters who are often confronted with
a changing, dangerous environment.
But a self-selecting online survey is not
necessarily representative of what’s hap-
pening in the field. So Randy Brooks decid-
ed to apply some science.
That led to an ongoing health-monitoring
study involving wrist-worn motion moni-
tors and body composition measurements
that last year found health declines and dete-
riorating reaction times among firefighters
as the season progressed.
“A lot of them face peer pressure to per-
form all the time,” Brooks said. “Others feel
pressured to protect natural resources and
structures at all costs.”
About 19,000 firefighters are currently in
the field fighting nearly 40 large wildfires.
Fourteen firefighters have died this year as
wildfires have scorched about 3,500 square

The study last year found firefighters lost
muscle mass but gained fat based on body-
composition testing before and after the
season.
The firefighters also wore a wrist device
called a Readiband from a company called
Fatigue Science. The device keeps track of
how many hours of sleep a person gets.
Formulas developed by the U.S. military
then calculate fatigue, based on a lack of
sleep. That’s used to predict alertness and
reaction times, which get worse as fatigue
levels rise.
Firefighters in the field can get as little as
six hours of sleep or less each night. The
devices found that not only did reaction
times falter as firefighters remained longer
on a fire before getting a mandatory break,
Brooks said, but firefighters also tended to
take longer to recover as the season pro-
gressed. Sometimes, fatigue levels reached
a level that suggested reaction times slowed

By Al-Hadji Kudra Maliro
and Carley Petesch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BENI, Congo — Leoni Kahumbu remem-
bers the night her 15-year-old daughter,
Pascaline, first showed signs of Ebola. She
found her fainted on the bathroom floor,
blood everywhere.
“She did not even have the strength to get
up ... I called an ambulance,” Kahumbu
said. Experts came to their home the next
day to disinfect the house. The 48-year-old
and her three other children were isolated
but have not come down with the often
deadly virus.
Pascaline survived. She was among the
first people given mAb114, one of five
experimental treatments approved for use
in Congo’s latest Ebola outbreak.
Now she and other survivors must now
deal with the emotional toll of returning to
nervous communities where they could be
shunned. “Thank God I’m still alive,” said
another survivor, Dr. Maurice Kakule
Muchunga, one of several health workers
who have been infected.
This is the first time an Ebola outbreak
has occurred in Congo’s North Kivu and
Ituri provinces, densely populated areas
with an estimated 1 million people dis-
placed by numerous armed groups fighting
over rich natural resources. Ninety cases
have been confirmed as Ebola, including 48
deaths.
Health officials face the challenge not
only of combating a deadly virus in what is
effectively a war zone but also of pushing
back against possible stigma and fears of
the unknown.
“Although I was negative for Ebola, all of
my friends are scared of me,” said Leoni,
who tested negative for Ebola and came
home to find all of the family’s belongings
destroyed to stop the virus from spreading.
“I spend all day inside watching TV, and if I
leave there are whispers and fingers point-
ing to me as the parent of a child who suf-
fers Ebola.”
Psychologists visit the family at least
twice a day, helping them to adapt.
The family lives in a neighborhood of
Beni city, the region’s largest urban area.
Some other survivors are from far smaller
communities where information can take
longer to reach.
Last week, the Catholic bishop of the
local Butembo-Beni diocese made a point
of being vaccinated in Mangina village,
where the outbreak was identified, to
encourage others at risk to present them-
selves to health officials, Congo’s health
ministry said. Traditional healers were
trained in Ebola prevention.

The ministry also put out a notice against
a rumor circulating on social media that A Congolese health worker administers Ebola
vaccine to a patient.
said eating onions would guard against
Ebola. “It’s UNTRUE!” the ministry said. health workers who are trying to promote
“Apart from giving you bad breath that safe burials, which are crucial to containing

More worrying is the local resistance to the dead.

In South San Francisco, car break-ins employed by burglars evolve over the valuables in their trunks before arriving.

CRIME
Continued from page 1
Johansen said break-ins occur all over
town, but The Shops at Tanforan is the
number one hot spot, and rental cars are
also often hit.
Johansen said it’s not uncommon to see
four or five car burglaries at the mall in a
day. Citywide, there could be a dozen or
more in a week and sometimes as few as two
or three, but there’s almost always at least
one each week, he added.
have become a common trend along the
hotel strip and off the Highway 101 corri-
dor, said police Sgt. Ken Chetcuti.
San Mateo police Sgt. Amanda Von Glahn
said centers in her city are often targeted
because of their proximity to Highway 101
and State Route 92. She also said down-
town parking garages are popular with
thieves.
Just about everywhere, electronics, espe-
cially laptops, are the item of choice for
robbers, but they’ll smash a window for
just about anything, including spare
change and any kind of bag.
Johansen said he’s seen the tactics
years.
“Your typical vehicle burglar two years
ago was opportunistic and passing by and
now we see crews, paper plated license
plates and more sophisticated operations,”
he said. “It used to be transients and people
with a chemical dependency, but now we
see guys engaged in other criminal activity
turning to this. We’re encountering more
of them armed and using more sophisticat-
ed tactics than the old throw-the-brick-
through-the-window.”
He said burglars often work in groups of
two — one handles the driving and the
other the burglarizing —  and these days
they often use a spring-loaded tool to shat-
ter windows that was originally developed
for emergency personnel to save people.
“You can buy these tools anywhere,” he
said.
Von Glahn said thieves are often scan-
ning parking lots and advised people to put
It’s very difficult to catch auto burglars
because they’re usually in and out within 30
seconds. And even when police are fortu-
nate enough to have solid information or
happen to be at the right place at the right
time, thieves often escape.
Johansen said the effort to apprehend
almost always becomes a pursuit and the
danger of a pursuit outweighs the crime so
officers won’t “chase them to the end of the
Earth.”
“Mostly we don’t catch them,” he said.
When a suspect is caught, they’re often
from San Francisco or the East Bay, officers
said. Von Glahn said criminals are caught in
a variety of ways, including operations
with plain-clothes officers, and of course
recording break-ins on video surveillance
is always a help.
“But mostly it’s relying on the communi-
ty to be our eyes and ears and inform us of
suspicious activity,” she said.

Will Joe run? Biden feels the push to take on Trump
By Thomas Beaumont
and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Shortly after
Joe Biden boarded a recent flight from
Washington to New York, a string of
passengers began stopping at his seat
in coach to deliver some version of the
same message: Run, Joe, run. “We’re
with you,” one said, according to a
Democratic strategist who happened
to be on the plane and witnessed the
scene. “You’ve got to do this,” said
another.
Biden himself is more conflicted —
MURAL
Continued from page 1
more motivated by art projects than
college applications.
So when he heard about a call for
designs for a mural to be painted on a
wall adjacent to a new parking lot in
the heart of North Fair Oaks, Castro
jumped at the opportunity to repre-
sent the roots of his neighborhood
on a grand scale. One of three artists
chosen as finalists for the project,
Castro said he felt a swell of pride in
seeing some 30 people vouch for his
design at a North Fair Oaks
Community Council meeting earlier
this year.
But perhaps even more meaningful
for Castro was seeing his mother and
stepfather, who attended the meeting,
take in the community’s appreciation
of his work, which was ultimately
selected for the lot at Second Avenue
and Middlefield Road. Having worked
hard at their own businesses to send
Castro and his sister to school, he
said they weren’t always sure about
his pursuit of art over the years. That
night allowed them to see that a
career in art could be possible.
“I remember seeing my stepdad’s
eye and it was a look I’ve never seen
in my life,” he said. “To be able to
see that was just very iconic for me.”
By adorning the 80-foot-by-24-
foot wall with colorful scenes from
the neighborhood’s past, present and
future, Castro is hoping to inspire
members from his community to sim-
ilarly embrace their roots and pas-
sions. On Castro’s giant canvas,
fields full of produce are painted next
to the taquerias and hair salons repre-
senting the businesses clustered
along Middlefield Road. His design
also includes newly-constructed
buildings in neighboring Redwood
City, as well as their historic coun-
terparts to illustrate the change long-
time residents have seen take shape
in their community.
but he is listening
keenly to the sup-
porters pushing him
to run for the White
House in 2020.
Biden is convinced
he can beat
President Donald
Trump, friends and
advisers say, and he
Joe Biden
has given himself
until January to deliberate and size up
potential competition for the
Democratic nomination, according to
people who have spoken to the former
vice president about his decision-mak-
With scenes from the community’s past, present and future, Castro is hoping to
inspire residents to take pride in their roots and pursue their passions.
Aimed at referencing North Fair
Oaks’ diverse set of roots, which he
said includes Chicano, Vietnamese
and Pacific Islander cultures, among
others, and illustrating the history of
the neighborhood, Castro is hoping
the mural will further amplify the
community’s voice as the neighbor-
hood surrounding it changes.
“It’s just an example in plain writ-
ing,” he said. “You just carry your-
self, do what you really want to do
[and] don’t ever give up … that right
there is just basically what I’m trying
to present to everybody.”
But taking on a project of this mag-
nitude hasn’t been easy, said Castro,
who said it is the first mural in his
portfolio. Having also submitted a
design for the mural, San Francisco-
based artist Arthur Koch agreed to
collaborate with Castro on the proj-
ect and meet their goal of finishing
the mural by the fall.
With four years of experience work-
ing on murals, Koch said the commu-
nity’s response to Castro’s mural has
been inspiring. He said they have
also had volunteers from the commu-
nity as well as local schools con-
tribute to the project since they start-
ed work on the mural in June.
“One of the gratifying things about

ing.
In the meantime, Biden diligently
maintains a network of supporters in
key states, a group 30 years in the
making, while some of those competi-
tors are still making introductions.
As he makes each careful step, Biden
faces the same dilemma. For an elder
statesman in a leaderless party, one
who long envisioned himself in the
top job, the pull toward another presi-
dential bid is strong. But the 75-year-
old former vice president must weigh
the realities of jumping into a crowded
primary full of up-and-comers eager to
debate the future of the party.

this mural is the locals are stopping
by … and they’re really proud of it
and they want to show their kids this
mural,” he said. “Once you get volun-
teers and the community involved, it
becomes much bigger than yourself
and it really generates some excite-
ment and pride and ownership for the
people who live there.”
Supervisor Warren Slocum, who
represents District 4 on the Board of
Supervisors which includes North
Fair Oaks, said residents have
enjoyed watching the colorful scenes
take shape over the summer.
“It’s going to be beautiful, ” he
said. “I think the community’s going
to really like it.”
Castro said sharing the mural and
his passion for art with youth at local
schools has been one of his favorite
parts about the project, noting that
even if he only inspires one or two
students to pursue their passions, it
was worth it. He said he’s looking
forward to showing the completed
project to his family and friends, if
for no other reason then to show
them his path toward pursuing art has
led to something real.
“I feel like I’m making my friends
my family and my roots proud,” he
said.

and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning
from the court.
There are other legal requirements. You

TRASH
Continued from page 1
and flow into city storm drains and the San Francisco Bay.
Penned by Save The Bay and signed by more than 50 Bay
Area officials, a letter to the San Francisco Bay Regional
Water Quality Control Board urging board members to take
enforcement action against the state agency is aimed at
inciting Caltrans to take steps to mitigate what they call a
growing trash problem in the region, said David Lewis,
executive director of Save The Bay.
Though the board issued a 2016 notice informing
Caltrans it violated requirements outlined in its stormwa-
ter permit, Lewis said the state agency has done little
about the problem since then. He added the agency’s fail-
ure to implement trash control measures in a timely man-
ner has been a burden to cities and counties, which are on
the hook for collecting the trash once it moves from
Caltrans roads to creeks and storm drains in local jurisdic-
tions.
“Caltrans has been in violation for letting too much
trash flow from the roads for years,” he said. “It’s a big
problem for the Bay, it’s a big problem for cities and it’s a
big problem for enforcing pollution laws that the state
agency is violating.”
Citing challenges in finding time and staff to clean up
trash on increasingly busy roads, Caltrans spokesman Jeff
Weiss said the agency is doing its best to comply with the
LOCAL
permit’s high standards and meet a requirement to capture
100 percent of the trash on its roads before it flows into
waterways.
Because daytime trash pick-up requires lane closures and
crews working at night must contend with low visibility
and high-speed traffic, Weiss said the agency must weigh
traffic congestion and the safety of its workers in coordi-
nating trash pick-up efforts.
“It’s a conundrum that we’re trying to solve,” he said.
“We’re constantly caught between causing congestion and
working in less-than-optimal safety conditions.”
But Lewis said it’s time for the board to follow through
on its 2016 notice and develop more specific trash reduc-
tion requirements with deadlines for Caltrans to meet.
Installing capture devices on storm drains, screening trash
generated on Caltrans roads and freeways and drafting
cooperative agreements with cities to implement storm
controls to keep trash from flowing to the Bay are among
the requirements Lewis said the board could impose.
Because cities and counties are obligated to meet their
own trash reduction standards, Lewis noted Caltrans’ per-
mit violations only makes it more difficult for other juris-
dictions to achieve regional goals set by the board to
eliminate the waste entering the Bay by stormwater by
2022.
Though San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa
noted it’s up to those traveling on roads to do their part to
prevent litter from accumulating, he acknowledged the
unfortunate reality that trash is piling up and flowing into
city waterways. Having signed the letter, Canepa is hop-
ing the effort will spark a conversation with Caltrans on
Tuesday • Sept 4, 2018 27
the pressure cities and counties are facing to reduce the
trash in their storm systems and waterways.
“That trash is being dispensed and it’s incumbent on
Caltrans to make sure that they follow the policies that are
there for local government,” he said. “We need Caltrans to
be held accountable just like our cities are.”
Canepa wondered if the agency could do more to build
awareness about the effects of littering on roads, noting
the agency may be able to leverage billboards or other
strategies aimed at reducing litter.
Both Lewis and Weiss acknowledged homeless encamp-
ments near the border of Caltrans and city and county roads
have been a continuous challenge for the jurisdictions
involved.
Weiss said the agency has partnered with cities and the
California Highway Patrol to coordinate trash clean-up at
or near homeless encampments, and have also mapped
areas where high volumes of garbage accumulate to deter-
mine how to best allocate the agency’s resources. He added
Caltrans is also testing capture devices in drainage inlets
and exploring the possibility of funding effective strate-
gies for capturing trash that cities and counties have
developed.
But as the agency ramps up its efforts to identify sources
of trash and collect trash on its roads and freeways, Weiss
said the challenges of finding staff and safe times to work
remain.
“We’ve always had the problem of finding safe times to
collect the trash that won’t cause undue congestion on the
