County ready to adopt budget By Michelle Durand DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

County officials are ready to finish tweaking a $2.2 billion budget and sign off on the document that adds more than 100 new jobs, dusts off capital projects and initiatives shelved the last five years during the economic recession and leaves the general fund at $212.5 million.

The Board of Supervisors meets this morning to kick off three days of final budget hearings which include cementing Measure A sales tax funds tentatively allocated to 22 requests during months of individual presentations. Voters approved the half-cent increase last November as a way to maintain county services. The budget is also colored by the pending new county jail sched-

uled to open in 2015 and federal health care reform, both which are expected to create dozens of new county positions. The first day of John Maltbie budget hearings includes opening remarks by

Parks turns to crowdfunding DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Parks are known to draw a crowd and the county’s Park’s Foundation is hoping to draw one — one with open pockets. The San Mateo County Parks Foundation is partnering with Citizinvestor, a crowdfunding and civic engagement platform for local government projects, to encourage the community to invest in their green spaces. So far, the foundation has offered up three projects: an investment to replace the fire rings at Memorial Park, three months worth of funding for the Bicycle Sunday program and an effort to preserve the

endangered thornmint plant. The concept of crowdfunding is nothing new, said foundation Executive Director Julia Bott. Julia Bott The foundation in its 15 years has always turned to the community. This time, the twist is that turn is online. “This is just another vehicle to reach out. There are a lot of things vying for people’s attention and people use different methods to pay attention. We’re trying to use

fiscal year followed by $1.93 billion in 2014-2015. Maltbie released a $2.1 billion budget in late August that included no Measure Afunding but now, with it added and other adjustments made, the revised total is up by $72 million fiscal year 2013-2014 and $44.4 million in 20-14-2015. The Measure A proposals up for

one more method,” Bott said. Jim Nantell, interim Parks Department director, said the partnerships will hopefully go beyond money. “We hope to create some relationships with millennium age folks that will transcend the years so they continue to be involved and us,” Nantell said. The initial three projects were chosen to address a one-time project, an ongoing project and core priorities. The donations are tax deductible but Bott thinks a desire to give back will prove a bigger draw. She said a plus of the Citizinvestor

The Foster City Council will take a couple of votes tonight that, if approved, will bring a new hotel to the city and fund dozens of affordable housing units at the vacant 15-acre site adjacent to City Hall. The council will first consider whether to make the final approval to amend a zoning map for Vintage Park that will add a Townplace Suites Extended Stay Hotel at the site of the former Black Angus restaurant at 1299 Chess Drive. The hotel project is proposed to be located on a 1.69-acre parcel

that currently contains the 9,700square-foot building built in 1984 which was formerly occupied by the restaurant. Black Angus ceased operations in March 2009 and the building has been vacant since then. Solomon Tsai, on behalf of Fullwel International Group, Inc. proposes to construct a 69,715square-foot five-story extended stay hotel with up to 121 rooms. The former restaurant will be demolished as part of the project. The council will also vote on whether to approve a resolution indicating the city’s intent to loan

With guests dining on a five-course dinner, prefaced by plenty of appetizers and all done under incredibly tight security, the Miami Heat star married his longtime partner Savannah Brinson on Saturday night at a posh resort in San Diego. Guests had their phones taken away for the ceremony and reception in an effort to ensure that no photos or details leaked out. “A first-class affair,” said one of the guests, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the couple had yet to reveal any details of the event themselves. “Ceremony was short and sweet.” Many of the Heat organization were there, including Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, managing general partner Micky Arison and coach Erik Spoelstra. Wade and girlfriend Gabrielle Union posted images of themselves dressed for the occasion on social media, as did Bosh and his wife Adrienne. Some of James’ longtime friends were also in attendance, including his manager Maverick Carter. “What a wonderful evening!!” Adrienne Bosh wrote on Twitter. “Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. James...Thanks for sharing Ur night &

Facebook, and nearly 10 million followers on Twitter. The measures to ensure privacy were hardly a surprise. In an interview with AP last spring, Brinson acknowledged that she’s leery of media coverage, since she hasn’t always found it to be fair or factual. “I’ve heard things about me that are bad, where they’ve literally looked up into the sky and said, ‘What can they say about Savannah?,”’ Brinson told AP in April. “It’s going to happen.” Television stations in San Diego showed aerial images of the hotel, including large tents set up for both the reception and to shroud the arrival of guests. In some cases, umbrellas were even used to protect the identity of wedding-arrivers from prying eyes in the sky, and people who tried to gain access to the hotel just to get a better look were quickly ushered away and told only that a private event was taking place. Even some local vendors in the San Diego area thought they had a role in the wedding — though were not themselves actually sure if that was the case. The Village Mill Bread Company — located about 3 miles from the wedding site — told Fox affiliate KSWB that someone ordered 500 loaves of Brioche from them to be delivered Saturday, but would not confirm that they were heading to the James-Brinson nuptials.

They were engaged just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2012, when James dropped to a knee and surprised his longtime girlfriend by finally popping the question as many of their close friends were gathered around. James told AP last year that he and Brinson decided not to rush plans for their wedding, especially since last summer was hectic for him basketballwise — James played for the U.S. in the London Olympics, helping the Americans win a gold medal, and also was involved in the wedding for one of his longtime close friends. So the date was set for this offseason, and even after a 21-month engagement, very few details leaked out — including why the wedding was taking place in San Diego, especially since the couple still considers Akron, Ohio as home and have essentially been based in Miami for three years now. Also unclear: If the couple would be using social media to make any statement about the wedding — James has more than 14 million fans on

The great barrier to the coast C

aptain Gaspar de Portola and his explorers left the area of San Diego in July of 1769 and had been trekking up the coast of California for the past four months. The men were tired. Many of them had scurvy and were so weak they had to be tied to their horses every morning before they could continue riding up the coast. It was the end of October now and Captain Portola was beginning to believe he had somehow missed Monterey Bay, the object of his exploration. Heading north from the Half Moon Bay area, he was now facing the solid barrier of a mountain (Montara Mountain). Portola decided to rest his men at a small creek (Martini Creek) at the base of the mountain. His scouts reported that the oceanside path was impossible to follow because at this point there was a huge promontory blocking their northward movement. The next morning, they began climbing the rugged mountain by following an Indian trail. Because of their weakened physical condition, they were able to proceed only at a slow pace. It was a very difficult path to follow. As the group continued their assent, they noticed the four prominent peaks to their right (which were later named Peak Mountain, Montara Knob, South Peak and North Peak). North Peak proved to be the highest at 1,898 feet. From this vantage point, they could see a great distance and were able to spot a well-known landmark — Point Reyes — to the north. Portola now

A statue of Captain Gaspar de Portola stands in Pacifica. knew for sure he had missed Monterey Bay. After a few hours rest here, they continued north and descended from Montara Mountain onto a fertile valley that was later to be called San Pedro Valley. For some 5,000 years, the Native Americans had crossed this mountain on their way to visit villages north and south from the area of Half Moon Bay. The trails were crude, but they were at least a way over the mountain. Although it is not known exactly which route Portola and his men took, it is believed to have been the Indian trail that crossed the mountain at what is

now called Saddle . For the next 70 years, there was no improvement on this crossing, and it was not until the late 1840s that there was even an attempt to improve it. The Road Trail, as it was called, appears on the map done by the U.S. Coast Survey in 1866. The farmers who began living in the Half Moon Bay area considered the road impossible to move their crops on as it took two hours just to traverse on horseback, and they demanded a better road be built by the new state. In 1879 a new road was built along the ocean buffs, and it was called the Half Moon Bay-Colma Road. Parts of the road were a nightmare. It ascended to the top of Devil’s Slide, and then dropped down into the valley of the Shamrock Ranch in the Linda Mar District of Pacifica. The steepest of the grades, 24 percent, made it exceedingly hard to get their produce trucks up and the solid tires dug ruts into the road bed. This road was used until the county constructed the Coastside Boulevard. Opening on Oct. 31, 1915, it had a treacherous 250 curves. The highest point reached was 922 feet at Saddle , and the road was only 16 feet wide. The promise of using this route commercially from Half Moon Bay to San Francisco never materialized and it became a very difficult road to drive. Nevertheless, thousands of drivers jammed the road of the twisting Coastside Boulevard and they were required to honk their horns on each of the 250 curves in the road.

Residents hire private security guards THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND — As crime rates soar in Oakland, a growing number of city residents are turning to private security guards to protect their neighborhoods. Neighbors are banding together to hire security guards to patrol streets, scare off criminals or report suspicious activity to police, a newspaper reported. In recent years, the city of about 400,000 residents has seen sharp increases in assaults, robberies, carjackings and home invasions that coincided with reductions in its police force. Police records show that since 2011 auto thefts in Oakland have increased 33 percent, burglaries have risen nearly 40

percent and robberies have jumped 54 percent. Oakland officials say putting more officers on the streets is a top priority. Since January 2009, the cash-strapped city has cut the size of its police force from 830 to 615 officers. “It is unfortunate that people feel forced to do this. We want a fully staffed police department,” said Sean Maher, a spokesman for Mayor Jean Quan. In the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood, about 45 residents spend $20 a month each to have private security officers patrol the streets. “They have this type of security in buildings. I don’t see why we shouldn’t have it in our neighborhood,” said Mary

Local brief Two motorcycle officers injured in collision

Graham, a retired Oakland high school teacher. Elizabeth Caprini, general manager of VMA Security Group, estimates her firm will be guarding 500 homes in Oakland by November. “Homes are getting broken into, drug dealing and prostitution are taking place,” Caprini said. “All that people want is to be able to use our services to be their eyes and ears for them.” Councilwoman Libby Schaaf said residents shouldn’t have to hire security guards to have peace of mind. “Oaklanders deserve more safety, and to the extent that citizens can generate it for themselves and their neighborhood, I applaud that effort,” Schaaf said.

Two Redwood City police motorcycle officers were injured Friday when a driver knocked them over as they set up a sobriety checkpoint, a police official said. The officers were traveling north on Arguello Street around 6:23 p.m. at Howland Street when they were struck by a southbound vehicle as it attempted to turn onto eastbound Howland Street, Sgt. Eric Stasiak said. The collision knocked over both officers, causing non-fatal injuries. The driver stopped at the scene and was allowed to leave after speaking to investigators. The crash remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol, Stasiak said. The officers were taken to a hospital for treatment and released. The sobriety checkpoint was cancelled as a result of the incident, Stasiak said.

Secession fever rises on rural border By Jeff Barnard THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YREKA — Since the 1850s Gold Rush, some folks in the rugged hills and valleys of Northern California and Southern Oregon have felt they would be better off if they could break away and form their own state. That old secessionist feeling is rising again in counties along the Oregon-California border, triggered by a belief that those in the urban halls of power in both states ignored the needs and desires of those in the rural areas. This month, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of a resolution from a local grassroots organization to make a new start and form a State of Jefferson. Other nearby counties are considering similar actions.

A barn near Yreka and the proposed capitol of the State of Jefferson. “People have wanted to do this for a long time, but the types of legislation coming out of Sacramento this year literally caused people to say, ‘This is the time,”’ said Mark Baird, a radio station owner who drafted the resolution. While secessionist movements have percolated throughout U.S. history — there has been talk this year of new states being carved out

of rural western Maryland, northern Colorado, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Riverside County, Calif. — proponents have many hurdles to overcome. They need to get agreement from both the state legislature and Congress to create another state. And then there is drafting a state constitution and figuring out how to pay for it all. State of Jefferson ers hope people are angry enough this time around that the effort will break through. The boundaries are uncertain, depending on which counties want to in, and could include a portion of southern Oregon if secession fever heats up. “We know it’s an uphill battle,” said Siskiyou County Supervisor Michael Kobseff. “The economic feasibility of it is a question. But my reply to that is, ‘I don’t know

how we’re going to survive under the current environment.”’ With its huge, diverse population and sprawling geography, California is a natural breeding ground for secessionist desires, which have popped up periodically since 1852. As recently as 1992 there was a non-binding statewide vote on dividing California, which ed easily. Rural counties have been a hotbed of resentment over federal environmental laws restricting logging, irrigation, and off-road driving on national forests. A four-hour drive north of Sacramento, Siskiyou County claims just 44,000 of California’s 38 million residents. The county’s state lawmakers are Republicans in a capital dominated by Democrats. Per capita income in Siskiyou County is far below the state average.

Unemployment is higher — 11.5 percent in July. Health care, schools and government now for more jobs than mining, logging and agriculture. “This has nothing to do with political parties,” Baird said. “It has to do with the unbelievable morass of regulatory policies directed at the northern third of California. Our lives have become so difficult and onerous. We are failing to make a living every day, and our children are leaving because they are unable to make a living.” The idea of a new state named for President Thomas Jefferson goes back to the earliest days of the state, according to a pamphlet by local historian James T. Rock, published by the Siskiyou County Museum. It describes a 1941 movement that gained national attention, until the attack on Pearl Harbor turned attentions elsewhere.

School district monitors kids’social media THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Calif. — A Southern California school district is trying to stop cyberbullying and a host of other teenage ills by monitoring the public posts students make on social media outlets in a program that has stirred debate about what privacy rights teenage students have when they fire up their smartphones. Glendale Unified School District hired Geo Listening last year to track posts by its 14,000 or so middle and high school students. The district approached the Hermosa Beach-based company in hopes of curtailing online bullying, drug use and other problems after two area teenagers committed suicide last year, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday (http://lat.ms/1dgGpBq). The company expects to be monitoring

about 3,000 schools worldwide by the end of the year, said its founder, Chris Frydrych. In Southern California, the district is paying $40,500 to Geo Listening, and in exchange, the company’s computers scour public posts by students on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, blogs and other sites. Analysts are alerted to that suggest suicidal thoughts, bullying, vandalism and even the use of obscenities, among other things. When they find posts they think should spur an intervention or anything that violates schools’ student codes of conduct, the company alerts the campus. The Glendale district began a pilot program to monitor students online last year at

its three high schools, Glendale, Hoover and Crescenta Valley. “We think it’s been working very well,” said the district’s superintendent, Dick Sheehan. “It’s designed around student safety and making sure kids are protected.” Some students say they are bothered by the monitoring, even if it’s intended to help them. “We all know social media is not a private place, not really a safe place,” said Young Cho, 16, a junior at Hoover High. “But it’s not the same as being in school. It’s students’ expression of their own thoughts and feelings to their friends. For the school to intrude in that area — I understand they can do it, but I don’t think it’s right.” The company does not have a list of students’ names and instead uses “deductive reasoning” to link public s to stu-

dents, Frydrych said. It also only looks at public postings. Brendan Hamme, an attorney with the Southern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the district is walking a fine line with its social media surveillance. The program is “sweeping and far afield of what is necessary to ensure student safet y,” he said. Daily reports to school s include a screen capture of the flagged posts, along with details of whether they were made on or off campus, the time and date, the ’s name, if available, and a description of why the post caught the attention of analysts, Frydrych said. It’s up to s to decide to act and, so far, no students have been disciplined because of a post discovered under the pilot program, Sheehan said.

Floods transform Colorado’s ‘Gore-Tex Vortex’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LYONS, Colo. — The cars that normally clog Main Street in Lyons on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park have been replaced by military supply trucks. Shop owners in Estes Park hurriedly cleared their wares in fear that the Big Thompson River will rise again. A plywood sign encouraged residents mucking out their homes to “Hang in there.” Days of rain and floods have transformed the outdoorsy mountain communities in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain foothills affectionately known “The Gore-Tex Vortex” from a paradise into a disaster area with little in the way of supplies or services — and more

rain falling Sunday. The string of communities from Boulder to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, is a base for backpackers and nature lovers where blue-collar and yuppie sensibilities exist side by side. Now, roadways have crumbled, scenic bridges are destroyed, the site of the bluegrass festival is washed out and most shops are closed. Chris Rodes, one of Lyons’ newest residents, said the change is so drastic that he is considering moving away just two weeks after settling there. “It’s not the same,” Rodes said. “All these beautiful places, it’s just brown mud.” Estes Park town Frank Lancaster said visitors who

Funeral Etiquette Advice: Show Up, Be Brief, Listen By Paul Larson MILLBRAE – Have you ever attended a funeral or memorial service and felt ill-at-ease, uncomfortable or awkward when talking to the family of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled through your words and condolences because you just didn’t know what to say or how to say it? Have you even decided to not approach the family for fear of saying the wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If so you are not alone. Many people in this situation want to provide some kind of comfort to the immediate family, but just don’t have the verbal tools to do so in an assuring manner. Learning “Funeral Etiquette” can be useful. Using the right words at the right time is an appropriate way to show that you care, and in situations like this can be of great help when provided correctly. Standard condolences such as “I am sorry for your loss” have become routine and generic. A personalized phrase can be welcomed such as “John touched many lives” or “I will miss John”. DO NOT ask the cause of death, offer advice or make comments that would diminish the importance of the loss such as “Oh, you’re young and can marry again”. Other ways to demonstrate your include: 1. Listening. The family may feel the need to express their anxiety, and giving them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2. An embrace. This can show that you care without the need for words; 3. Offering your services. This shows the family that you are willing to give extra time for them: “Please

let me know if there is anything I can do to help” (be prepared to act if needed). Even if you don’t feel confident in approaching the family there are other ways to show that you care: 1. Attending the funeral and g the Memorial Book will show the family that you took the time to be there in ; 2. Dressing appropriately for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts to prepare for this special occasion (dark colors are no longer a requisite for funerals, but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other attire that you’d wear to any special event are considered a way of showing you care); 3. In certain cases friends are invited to stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings. Prior to the funeral write a few key notes and reflections which will help you organize your thoughts. Even if there is no opportunity to speak before a group you may have a chance to offer your thoughts to the family following the ceremony; 4. A personalized card or note will help you arrange your words better and can be kept by the family. If you don’t have their mailing address you can send your envelope to the funeral home and they will forward it to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a long time tradition, or making a charitable donation in the deceased’s memory will give the family a strong sense of your regards; 6. If appropriate a brief phone call can show your immediate concern, but generally this should be avoided to give the family the privacy they may need. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Was Obama outfoxed on Syria? By Libby Quaid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers assessing the agreement on Syria’s chemical weapons argued Sunday about whether President Barack Obama was outfoxed by the Russians and had lost leverage in trying to end the civil war, or whether his threat of military action propelled the breakthrough. Obama said the turn to diplomacy had laid “a foundation” toward political settlement of the conflict. The deal announced Saturday in Geneva by U.S. and Russian diplomat sets an ambitious timetable

for elimination of Syria’s c h e m i c a l weapons by mid-2014, with rapid deadlines including complete inventory of its chemical Barack Obama arsenal within a week and immediate access by international inspectors to chemical weapons sites. The agreement came in response to an Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus, the capital, that the U.S. believes was carried out by the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Republican lawmakers said that committing to remove or destroy Syria’s chemical weapons was laudable, the agreement fell short by not mandating military action should Assad fail to comply. Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the U.S. is “being led by the nose by” Russian President Vladimir Putin. “So, if we wanted a transition with Assad, we just fired our last round, and we have taken our ability to negotiate a settlement from the White House, and we’ve sent it with Russia to the United Nations,” Rogers, R-Mich., said. “That’s a dangerous place for us to be if you want an overall settle-

ment to the problems.” Russia, which already has rejected three resolutions on Syria, would be sure to veto a U.N. move toward military action, and U.S. officials said they did not contemplate seeking such an authorization. Obama said Saturday that “if diplomacy fails, the United States remains prepared to act,” and Secretary of State John Kerry warned during a visit to Israel on Sunday that “the threat of force is real” if Assad fails to live up to the of the agreement. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the threat of force “is still very much in Russian hands.”

“That’s the most important element, is the veto piece, Corker said. “So in many ways, our credibility in the region, and certainly relative to the chemical warfare, is very much driven by Russia, which has its hands firmly on the steering wheel. “ Democrats insisted that while the agreement itself doesn’t commit the U.S. to using force, the option of acting independently of the U.N. remains. Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Russia’s primary aim has been to force the U.S. to give up that option. “Russia has failed in that goal,” Levin said.

Many U.S. bridges are Ban on gay blood donors endures old, risky and rundown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Motorists coming off the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge into Washington are treated to a postcardperfect view of the U.S. Capitol. The bridge itself, however, is about as ugly as it gets: The steel underpinnings have thinned since the structure was built in 1950, and the span is pocked with rust and crumbling concrete. District of Columbia officials were so worried about a catastrophic failure that they shored up the horizontal beams to prevent the bridge from falling into the Anacostia River. And safety concerns about the Douglass bridge, which is used by more than 70,000 vehicles daily, are far from unique. An Associated Press analysis of 607,380 bridges in the most recent federal National

Bridge Inventory showed that 65,605 were classified as “structurally deficient” and 20,808 as “fracture critical.” Of those, 7,795 were both — a combination of red flags that experts say indicate significant disrepair and similar risk of collapse. A bridge is deemed fracture critical when it doesn’t have redundant protections and is at risk of collapse if a single, vital component fails. A bridge is structurally deficient when it is in need of rehabilitation or replacement because at least one major component of the span has advanced deterioration or other problems that lead inspectors to deem its condition poor or worse. Engineers say the bridges are safe. And despite the ominous sounding classifications, officials say that even bridges that are structurally deficient or fracture critical are not about to collapse.

NEW YORK — The U.S. gay-rights movement has achieved many victories in recent years — on marriage, military service and other fronts. Yet one vestige of an earlier, more wary era remains firmly in place: the 30-year-old nationwide ban on blood donations by gay and bisexual men. Dating from the first years of the AIDS epidemic, the ban is a source of frustration to many gay activists, and also to many

leading players in the nation’s health and blood-supply community who have ed in calling for change. In June, the American Medical Association voted to oppose the policy. AMA board member William Kobler called it “discriminatory and not based on sound science.” Last month, more than 80 of Congress wrote to the Department of Health and Human Services, criticizing the lifetime ban as an outdated measure that perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes about gay men.

Syria calls chemical weapons deal ‘victory’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT — A high-ranking Syrian official called the U.S.Russian agreement on securing Syria’s chemical weapons a “victory” for President Bashar Assad’s regime, but the U.S. warned Sunday “the threat of force is real” if Damascus fails to carry out the plan. The comments by Syrian Minister of National Reconciliation Ali Haidar to a Russian state news agency were the first by a senior Syrian government official on the deal struck a day earlier in Geneva. Under the agreement, Syria will provide an inventory of its chemical arsenal within one week and hand over all of the components of its program by mid-2014. “We welcome these agreements,” Haidar was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti agency. “On the one hand, they will help Syrians get out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they averted a war against

victory for Syria, achieved thanks to our Russian friends.” There has been no official statement from the Syrian government, and it was not clear whether

Haidar’s comments reflected Assad’s thinking. The deal, hashed out in marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian diplomats, averts American missile strikes against the Assad regime, although the Obama istration has warned that the military option remains on the table if Damascus does not comply. President Barack Obama said last week the U.S. Navy will maintain its increased presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to keep pressure on Syria and to be in position to respond if diplomacy fails. “The threat of force is real, and the Assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that President Obama and the United States are committed to achieve this goal,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday in Jerusalem, where he briefed Israeli leaders on the agreement. He also said the agreement, if successful, “will have set a marker for the standard of behavior with

Bombings kill 58 in Iraq By Sinan Salaheddin THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD — A wave of car bombings and other attacks in Iraq killed at least 58 people in mostly Shiitemajority cities on Sunday, another bloody reminder of the government’s failure to stem the surge of violence that is feeding sectarian tensions. Iraq is experiencing its deadliest bout of violence since 2008, raising fears the country is returning to a period of widespread killing such as that

which pushed it to the brink of civil war following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. More than 4,000 people have been killed in attacks since the start of April, including 804 just in August, according to United Nations figures. Sunday’s deadliest attack was in the city of Hillah, 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad, where a car bomb near an outdoor market killed nine civilians and wounded 15 others, a police officer said. Afew minutes later, another car bomb went off nearby, killing six civilians and wounding 14, he added.

In the nearby town of Iskandariyah, 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the capital, another car bomb hit a parking lot, killing four civilians and wounding nine, police said. Another car bomb went off in an industrial area of the Shiite city of Karbala, killing five and wounding 25, a police officer said. Karbala is 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Baghdad. In the aftermath, security officials inspected burnt-out cars in front of what appeared to be a smashed row of workshops.

High costs keep Japan focus on nuclear THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — Japan will once again be without atomic energy as its only operating nuclear reactor goes offline Sunday for refueling and maintenance, and other plants remain closed for intensified safety checks following the 2011 meltdowns at the tsunami-

stricken plant in Fukushima. But despite signs that the Fukushima crisis is worsening, Japan’s commitment to restarting many of its 50 idled reactors appears stronger than ever, a year after a previous government said it would begin to phase out nuclear power completely. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says

nuclear power remains essential, even with a surge in generation capacity from solar, wind and other renewable sources, and that the world’s No. 3 economy cannot afford the mounting costs from importing gas and oil. Four nuclear plant operators have applied to restart a dozen reactors under revised safety guidelines.

respect to Iran and with respect North Korea and any rogue state, (or) group that tries to reach for these kind of weapons.” French President Francois Hollande said in a televised address to his country that he has not ruled out the “military option,” either. Otherwise, he said, “there will be no pressure.” The U.S. accuses the Assad government of using poison gas against rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21, killing more than 1,400 people. Other death toll estimates are far lower. Syria denies the allegations and blames the rebels. The suspected chemical attack raised the prospect of U.S.-led military action against Syria that the rebels hoped would tip the civil war in their favor. But as the strikes appeared imminent, the Parliament of key U.S. ally Britain voted against military action and Obama decided to ask Congress for authorization first, delaying an armed response.

World brief Another female police officer shot in Afghanistan KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Gunmen shot the top female police officer in a troubled southern Afghan province Sunday, leaving her facing possible paralysis just months after her predecessor was killed, government and hospital authorities said. It was the latest in a series of attacks on prominent women in Afghanistan, where just 1 percent of the police force is female. The officer, identified only as Negar, was buying grass for her lambs outside her home when two gunmen drove up on a motorbike and fired at her, said Omar Zawak, a spokesman for the governor of Helmand province. The 38-year-old suffered a bullet wound to the neck, and the medical team treating her is trying to keep her from being paralyzed as a result of the injury, said one of the doctors who operated on her. He gave him name only as Shahwali for security reasons. Negar’s bodyguards fired back at the gunmen, but the attackers escaped. Negar serves as a sub-inspector in the police criminal investigation department in Helmand province.

Cashing in on Uncle Sam’s sweet tooth Other voices

Los Angeles Times

F

ederal efforts to protect growers of sugar beets and sugar cane epitomize everything that’s wrong with U.S. farm programs. At times they’ve artificially raised the price of sugar, costing consumers billions of dollars; at other times they’ve stuck taxpayers with the bill for the surplus sugar production they’ve promoted. The fact that the sugar program is likely to survive the latest rewrite of the farm bill unscathed is a testament to how limited the bill’s “reforms” are. Sweeteners are ubiquitous in processed foods, and sugar is the most popular by far. There are two primary sources in the United States: sugar beets, which are grown in parts of California (mainly in Imperial County) and 10 other states, and sugar cane, which is grown only in Hawaii, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. According to the most recent national data, there are 155 sugar beet farms in California — all in the southeastern corner — and two sugar refineries.

Like the rest of the agriculture industry, beet and cane growers enjoy considerable protection from the federal government that’s not contingent on their incomes. But while other farmers are typically offered subsidized crop insurance (taxpayers cover roughly 60% of the cost) and guarantees against steep reductions in revenue, beet and cane farmers are also protected by import and production quotas that limit supply, deter competition and inflate prices. Their trade associations argue that the sugar program offsets foreign governments’ sugar subsidies, which trump American farmers’ superior productivity. ... The rationale behind the sugar program is the same one used to justify every federal farm subsidy: To ensure a reliable food supply, farmers should be protected against the unpredictable and potentially ruinous swings in harvests and crop prices, not to mention unfair foreign competition. The most

straightforward way to do so would be a means-tested system that helps farmers who run into financial trouble. There’s limited sensitivity to need in U.S. farm programs, however. As a result, their benefits flow overwhelmingly to the largest — and, consequently, most durable — agribusinesses. According to economist (and farm program critic) Vincent Smith, 10 percent of the farm operations collect 60 percent of the $23.5 billion in annual farm subsidies. Both of the competing farm bills ed by the House and Senate would eliminate the egregious direct-payment program, which pays cash to farm owners based on their acreage even in times of record profits. The unusually high farm profits in recent years have given Congress a golden opportunity to try to wean agribusiness from federal subsidies and market-distorting protections. But lawmakers seem incapable of making meaningful changes even to a program as flawed and costly to consumers as the one that protects sugar beets and sugar cane farmers regardless of their potential to thrive without Uncle Sam’s help.

Japan must deliver on Olympics The Japan Times

T

he International Olympic Committee has chosen Tokyo as the host of the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. It is hoped that Tokyo’s hosting of the once-infour-year global games will help dispel the “locked in” feeling prevalent in Japanese society — which has been primarily attributed to difficult economic conditions — and help to enhance the level of sports in Japan. But government leaders must realize that their promise to end the leaks of radioactive water from Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has now become an international pledge. The government must mobilize all available resources to solve the leak problem so not only people in and around Fukushima Prefecture but also participants in the Olympic and

Other voices Paralympic Games will not have to worry about radiation problems. Madrid, Istanbul and Tokyo, the candidate cities to host the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, all had strong and weak points. Madrid, which sought to hold the games in a less extravagant way, is suffering from Spain’s serious economic problems. Istanbul, which could have become the first city in the Islamic world to host the games, had its image tarnished by clashes between government forces and demonstrators earlier this year. Tokyo, whose marketing campaign stressed, “You’re in safe hands with Tokyo,” had the festering radiation problem. It appears that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s speech in Buenos Aires, the venue of the IOC’s convention — in which he stated that the situation at

Fukushima No. 1 is under control and that the “effect” of contaminated water is fully contained within the 0.3 sq. meter harbor adjacent to the nuclear power plant — helped to convince the IOC to award the games to Tokyo. Japan’s campaign to win the right to host the games had a very regrettable aspect to it. Princess Takamado gave a speech at the outset of Tokyo’s presentation in Buenos Aires, in which she thanked the international community for the help it extended to Japan in the aftermath of the 3/11 disasters. This smacks of the use of an Imperial Family member for a political purpose. Mami Sato, a Paralympian from Kesenuma, Miyagi Prefecture, gave a powerful speech stressing the power of sports to restore people’s confidence based on her experience in the 3/11 disasters. Japan needs to make serious efforts to nurture more athletes who embody the ideals stated by Sato.

November elections heat up

T

his is an exciting season for local government with many open seats on councils and school boards and many contested elections with extremely qualified candidates. Local government is where the action is, where ordinary citizens can get involved. Don’t sit out this election. Learn about the candidates, attend election forums. Do your civic duty. *** Even though Burlingame does not have term limits, the city’s elections usually promise some kind of change — a new face or the replacement of a once strong council majority with another. This year is no exception, especially since there is an open seat. Incumbent Cathy Baylock has chosen not to run again. The other two incumbents, Michael Brownrigg and Ann Keighran, seem destined for another term. There are seven challengers. Four are lesser known and face stiff competition from the three who seem to have the best chance. The three are Planning Commissioner Nirmala Bandrapalli, former candidate Ricardo Ortiz and former councilman Russ Cohen. The four other hopefuls are Alex Kent, real estate broker; Steven Duncan, assistant manager at RiteAid; Robert Schinagl, store clerk; and Andrew Peceimer, real estate broker. *** Unlike Ortiz and Cohen, this is Bandrapalli’s first run for public office. She was inspired to get involved in city government after taking the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership program. She has served on the Planning Commission since April. She continues to be an active school volunteer. Her children attend Burlingame High School, Lincoln Elementary School and Village Preschool. She left her home in India 25 years ago for a better life in the United States. Here she completed a master’s degree in biochemistry at UCSF and worked for Genentech for 11 years. Today she runs an online health fitness business. Bandrapalli has the of Councilwoman Terry Nagel, former Burlingame school board member John Root, former Mills high school principal Frank Seebode, the San Mateo Central Labor Council and several planning commissioners. Ortiz ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the council two years ago. He has the of Councilman Jerry Deal; former mayor Joe Galligan; former council candidate Gene Condon; U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo; and several school board . He worked for City National seven and one half years and now does financial consulting. He was treasurer of the Burlingame School Foundation and chair of the oversight committee for the past school district bond. He also coaches AYSO. His children attend local public schools. Russ Cohen has run for council before and come up short by less than 100 votes. The first time he lost to Mike Coffey in 2003, but when Coffey left in mid-term, Cohen won the rest of his two-year seat. He ran again in 2007 and lost by 82 votes to Deal. He is ed by Baylock and several planning commission and school board . He is vice chair of the Burlingame Historical society and was one of the founders of blog Burlingame Voice. His job is executive director of the Palo Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association. *** In addition to Burlingame and San Mateo (last Monday’s column) there are noteworthy contests in Redwood City and San Carlos. In Redwood City — Diane Howard — and in San Carlos — Inge Tiegel Doherty — two former council hope to return to the dais. Howard has collected major endorsements from past and present council which raises the stakes for the other top competitor for the open seat ( Jeff Ira is termed out; the two incumbents seem secure), Ernie Schmidt. Planning Commissioner Schmidt ran unsuccessfully for the Board of Supervisors but has the of Mayor Alicia Aguirre. In San Carlos, the buzz is about Karen Clapper who, when appointed to the council, said she would not run but changed her mind. This has made some people who have ired her work happy but others not so. She has the of supervisors Don Horsley and Warren Slocum; San Carlos Councilman Ron Collins; and past council Don Eaton, Mike King, Andy Klein and Sylvia Nelson. Then there is newcomer Cameron Johnson who sits on the city’s Economic Development Advisory Commission and works for Netflix. He has the of Collins and Councilman Mark Olbert; former mayor Tom Davids; many school board ; Supervisor Dave Pine; Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, and state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo. Incumbent Bob Grassilli may not feel the heat but incumbent Matt Grocott who will be running for a fourth term, has been a different voice (some say refreshing; some say divisive) and has a loyal following. This time, however, he faces a stiff challenge with Clapper and Johnson and to a lesser extent, Tiegel, on the ballot. There are three seats to be filled. Stay tuned.

Twitter flies from obscurity By Barbara Ortutay and Michael Liedtke THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The Pope. President Obama. Queen Elizabeth. Oprah. You. When Twitter started seven years ago as an obscure medium for geeks, critics dismissed it as an exercise in narcissism. Some thought it would be as intriguing as watching people gaze at their bellybuttons. But it quickly matured into a worldwide messaging service used by everyone from heads of state to revolutionaries to companies trying to hawk products. Now, Twitter is taking the next critical step in its evolution — selling stock to the public. It promises to be one of the most hyped and scrutinized initial public offerings since Facebook’s Wall Street debut in May 2012. To be successful, the company will need to become an advertising behemoth and prove that the same service that has already helped change the course of history can also make money. Twitter quietly slipped out news of its plan to go public in a tweet on Thursday afternoon. By the next morning, nearly 14,000 of Twitter’s 200 million s had retransmitted the message. “Twitter epitomizes the revolution of social media ...more than Facebook, more than YouTube,” says Fordham University communications professor Paul Levinson, author of “New New Media.” “It caters to the

immediacy, the equality of all s.” And yet, Twitter really isn’t that big. Only about 15 percent of Americans say they’ve ever used Twitter, according to an August poll by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. That’s up from 9 percent in June 2010. At the time of Facebook’s IPO, an AP-CNBC poll found that 56 percent of Americans said they had pages on Facebook. Some 17 percent said they used the site several times a day.

200 million global s Twitter’s 200 million global s represent about one-sixth of Facebook’s 1.16 billion. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third-largest behind China and India. Twitter would clock in at No. 6, edging out Pakistan. Even so, Twitter generates more news than Facebook. A big part of that is its public nature, Levinson says. With their messages of 140 characters or less, most people tweet openly, for better or for worse, allowing the world a glimpse at their thoughts. Facebook, in contrast, gives its s a plethora of controls to hide or show posts to as many or as few people as they’d like. That means many s share updates only

with people they already know. “You can rub elbows with famous people instantly,” Levinson says. “You can ‘at’ the president, ‘at’ a movie star, the same as your boyfriend,” he adds, referring to the symbol Twitterers use to send messages to one another. “That’s what makes communication in the 21st century radically different from any time in the past. It wasn’t until Twitter that the combination of speed and access to anyone became available for everyone.” Perhaps Twitter’s greatest appeal is that it allows s to see news unfold in real time. People can follow and even communicate with newsmakers. And they can witness history. During 2011’s Arab Spring protests, Twitter became an essential communication tool in Iran as the country’s government cracked down on traditional media after a disputed presidential election. Tech-savvy Iranians took to Twitter to organize protests. As the events unfolded, they used the service to send messages and pictures to the outside world. Today, a billion tweets are sent every two and a half days. To be fair, most tweets don’t comprise the world’s weightiest matters. They are ruminations about lunch, the weather and Justin Bieber —and occasionally they involve career-crashing missteps of the Anthony Weiner sort. Like Facebook, Twitter reaps most of its revenue from advertising. Research firm eMarketer estimates that Twitter will gener-

ate $582.8 million in worldwide ad revenue this year, up from $288.3 million in 2012.

Usefulness While companies are flocking to Twitter to woo consumers, not all of them are convinced of its usefulness. More than 60 percent of U.S. marketers use Twitter, according to Forrester Research analyst Nate Elliott, but he says they are not “fully satisfied with the results.” Twitter, he says, still needs to improve the way it targets ments to s and it needs to find more types of ads to sell. Still, by 2015, eMarketer expects Twitter’s annual ad revenue to hit $1.33 billion. Twitter might never have become the world’s digital water cooler if Noah Glass and Evan Williams had convinced more people to tune into a podcasting service called Odeo started in 2005. Less than a year after its birth, it became apparent that Odeo was destined to be a dud. Not even its own employees were using it that much. By early 2006, Glass and fellow Odeo programmer Jack Dorsey began work on a new project. They were given the go-ahead to work with co-worker Christopher “Biz” Stone on a way to corral the menagerie of text messages typically sent over a phone. It was an offshoot of Dorsey’s longtime fascination with the dispatch systems used by police cars, fire trucks, deliver trucks and taxis.

Calif.firearms bills would enact strict rules By Don Thompson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown is set to consider more than a dozen bills that ers and opponents alike agree would impose the nation’s toughest restrictions on gun ownership if he signs the entire legislative package into law. The Democratic governor has not indicated his intentions. Among the bills sent to him by

the end of the legislative session last week is one that would ban the future sale of most types of semiautomatic rifles that accept detachable magazines. It would outlaw an entire class of weapons that includes most assault rifles. It is the latest and most far-reaching attempt to close loopholes that have allowed manufacturers to circumvent previous assault weapon bans enacted in the state since the 1990s. Other bills seek to restrict

ammunition sales and who can legally possess firearms. California lawmakers went further than other states, notably New York, in ing bills responding to last year’s mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo. “They would end the debate as to whether California has the toughest laws or not,” said Dallas Stout, president of the California Chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Yet he predicted Brown will veto some of the bills. “He’s more all over the place than most governors,” Stout said. “That’s just Jerry Brown.” Brown and his staff will not comment on the legislation, but the governor has a track record of rejecting some firearms bills while g others. “I just pray to God that Jerry Brown is the savior of the Second Amendment in this state,” said Assemblywoman Shannon Grove,

R-Bakersfield, during the debate over one of the bills. Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, said the assault weapon ban alone would put California in the forefront on restrictions. “No question about it. The bill will make half of the rifles in existence ‘assault weapons,’ and make them illegal,” he said. The definition in the assault weapons bill applies to most semi-automatic hunting rifles.

Summers withdraws name from Fed list THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman, has withdrawn from consideration, the White House said Sunday. Summers’ withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics, including some of the Senate committee that would need to back his nomination. His exit could open the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed’s vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed. In the past, Obama has mentioned only one other candidate as possibly being under consideration: Donald Kohn, a former Fed vice chair. But Kohn, 70, has been considered a long shot. The istration also reached out to former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner early in the process. Geithner maintained that he was not interested in being considered. Obama is expected to announce a nominee for the Fed chairmanship as early as this month. Bernanke’s term ends Jan. 31, 2014. Summers and his allies have been engaged in an unusually public contest with ers of Yellen, with each side lobbying the istration. An openly waged succession battle is something that the Fed, which will turn 100 in December, has never before witnessed. The selection of a chairman has long been a matter handled privately by a president and his senior advisers. In a statement, Obama said he had accepted Summers’ decision. “Larry was a critical member of my team as we faced down the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and it was in no small part because of his expertise, wisdom and leadership that we wrestled the economy back to growth and made the kind of progress we are seeing today,” Obama said.

CSM looks ‘mostly’good in win over Chabot By Julio Lara DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

One can’t be too critical of the College of San Mateo football team right now. They’re 2-0 — two wins in convincing fashion, actually. CSM’s latest win was a 28-7 victory over an upstart Chabot College team that shares a lot of personal grudge history with the Bulldogs. On the scoreboard and the stat sheet, everything is moving along just fine for the Bulldogs and that was the case for most of the 60 minutes Saturday afternoon

at College Heights Stadium. But, the key word there is “most.” “Not yet. Not yet,” said CSM head coach Bret Pollack when asked if he was pleased with the entirety of the game. “What was the second half? 7-7? Not yet. We turned the ball over too many times. Defense played great. Offense played good the first half. We had too many turnovers early. Willy (Fonua) came in and did a great job, jump-started the offense. Protected the football. Threw the football pretty well. But near the end of the game, it wasn’t

there.” The 28-7 score is decisive until you consider that CSM should have probably scored a lot more. Or, perhaps better suited, Chabot should have done more with four Bulldog turnovers. Of those four, the Gladiators were only able to attempt a pair of field goals (that they missed) and twice turned the ball over themselves. Overall, the turnover margin read in favor of CSM 6-4. “They did a good job of shutting the door on them and not letting them into the end zone — forcing field goals which they

missed,” Pollack said of his defense. “We blocked some field goals. That’s the name of the game — keep them out of the end zone and make them kick field goals. I was happy with the way the defense played.” The Bulldog defense held Chabot to only 14 first downs for the game (five of which came via penalty) and 234 totals yards. The Gladiators didn’t find the end zone until the early part of the fourth quarter and that was only after a huge kickoff return aided their efforts. Up until that point, the

Niners get whipped By Tim Booth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Richard Sherman celebrated by dancing with cheerleaders, Marshawn Lynch cut, plowed and walked his way to three touchdowns and Pete Carroll got one rousing birthday gift. The awaited NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers was completely one-sided. Lynch scored on touchdown runs of 14 and two yards, and added a seven-yard TD reception in the second half, Seattle flustered Colin Kaepernick into his worst ing game as a starter and the Seahawks dominated in a 29-3 win Sunday night. The game was delayed 60 minutes late in the first quarter when thunderstorms blew through the area. The highly-anticipated matchup was sloppy as opposed to sensational, but Lynch more than did his part. Lynch finished with 135 total yards, including 98 yards rushing, to make up quarterback Russell Wilson hitting on just two of his first 10 throws and Seattle’s receivers struggling to get open. His TD run on the first drive of the second half gave the Seahawks a 12-0 lead and his TD catch pushed the advantage to 19-3 early in the fourth quarter. This won’t be a game noted for the efficiency or execution by either side. There were careless turnovers and untimely, unneeded penalties. But that was expected between these nasty rivals and the favorites not just in their division but as potential NFC representatives in the Super Bowl. And it was the Seahawks getting an early, important advantage over the 49ers. Kaepernick failed to get anything going in the game, unable to break down Seattle’s stellar secondary. He was intercepted in the end zone in the first quarter when Earl Thomas hauled in a deflected intended for Vernon Davis, what proved to

Bulldogs weren’t in complete control of the game. But, they did have a pretty tight grip on it. CSM scored on its initial drive, one that ate seven plays and 75 yards in a little over two minutes of football. Starting quarterback Casey Wichman did the honors from one yard out.

Menlo scored 35 unanswered points before the Sagehens finally found the end zone in the waning minutes of the third quarter. After two tough and ugly losses, Grieb said he liked the way his team bounced back in Week 3 of the season. The Oaks got on the board four minutes into the game when Hawkins dropped back and found an open Matt Belardes for a 46-

yard touchdown. Shortly after, Hawkins connected with Michael Alexander for a 15-yard touchdown . Then Daniel Jones returned a punt for 65 yards for another score. Not too long after that, Robert Gehre made a sensational catch over the top of a defender to pull in his first touchdown of the year and round out Menlo's first half scoring. Menlo led 28-0 at the break. Menlo's lone second half touchdown

OAKLAND — Coaches often preach for their defenses to “fly around.” Charles Woodson took that to the extreme for the Oakland Raiders. Woodson’s flying tackle of Maurice Jones-Drew helped spearhead a strong defensive effort by Oakland and Darren McFadden and the running game did the rest as the Raiders beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-9 on Sunday in their home opener. In a sloppy game that featured 15 penalties, few good ing plays and only one touchdown for each team, Woodson’s touchdown-saving tackle after leaping over two players provided a memorable highlight. “I’m just flying over a building in a single bound,” he said. That play set the tone for a strong performance by the defense of the Raiders (1-1) against a punchless Jacksonville offense that came within 2:53 of becoming the first team since the 2006 Raiders and Buccaneers to fail to score a touchdown in the first two games. “I think today for the most part we did our job as a team collectively,” Woodson said. “We beat a team I felt like we were supposed to beat and that’s a step in the right direction.” McFadden ran for 129 of Oakland’s 226 yards rushing on the day, Terrelle Pryor added 50 yards on the ground and 126 through the air in a turnover-free performance and Marcel Reece scored on an 11-yard run to help Oakland bounce back from last week’s late loss in Indianapolis. Sebastian Janikowski added four field goals. Playing depleted Jacksonville (0-2) sure helped the cause. The Jaguars entered the game without quarterback Blaine Gabbert (right hand), receiver Justin Blackmon (suspension) and tight end Marcedes Lewis (calf), and then lost star running back Maurice Jones-Drew in the first half to an ankle injury. “We can’t make excuses regardless of who’s out there,” tackle Eugene Monroe said. “‘We just need to execute and not make mistakes, not get panicked and turn this thing around.” Aweek after allowing six sacks, dropping five es and punting a franchise-record 11 times in a 28-2 loss to Kansas City, the Jaguars offense was nearly as bad under Chad Henne.

Kam Chancellor intercepted Kaepernick midway through the fourth quarter, returning the pick to the San Francisco 2 and leading to Lynch’s third TD. Then there was Sherman, Seattle’s ultra-confident All-Pro, who intercepted Kaepernick’s deep sideline for Davis with about 13 minutes remaining. He celebrated his first interception of the season by dancing with the Seahawks cheer squad after the play. Steven Hauschka kicked a 37-yard field goal and the Seahawks’ lead was 22-3 with 11:31 left.

ble with 4:15 left and the Seahawks leading by 26. Wilson finished 8 of 19 ing for 142 yards, one of the worst games in his young career. Kaepernick was 13 of 28 for 127 yards ing and rushed for another 87 yards. Frank Gore was held to just 16 yards rushing on nine carries, and Anquan Boldin, who tortured Green Bay last week for 13 catches and 208 yards receiving, was targeted just once in the first three quarters. His only catch came with 9:40 remaining. The 49ers finished with five turnovers and no TDs in a game for the third time since start of 1979 season. Leading 5-0 at halftime after a wacky first half of delays and points coming via safety and a field goal, Seattle started the second half going to Lynch. He carried on the first four plays of the half, and when Seattle faced thirdand-12, Wilson scrambled and bought time for Doug Baldwin to

get open downfield for a 51-yard reception to the 49ers 20. After a penalty backed up the Seahawks to the 14, Lynch took an inside handoff and darted nearly untouched for his first touchdown of the season. Seattle extended the lead later in the half thanks to a careless personal foul penalty from Aldon Smith, slapping the helmet of Seattle’s Breno Giacomini behind the play after Zach Miller and the Seahawks were stopped short on third-and-28. Given another chance, Wilson stayed in the pocket against blitzing safety Craig Dahl on third-and-4 to find Lynch wide open in the left flat. Lynch took a few steps toward the end zone, stopped and waited, and finally crossed the goal line, pushing the lead to 22-3. Seattle played the final three quarters without starting left tackle Russell Okung, while San Francisco lost nose tackle Ian Williams and safety Eric Reid to injuries.

“George did a good job of pounding the ball in the middle,” Pollack said. “They (Chabot) was playing two schemes and Willy did a good job of checking down, did a good job of audibling and giving us a good chance based on where they were aligned. Early on, he read it well.” Early on, it looked like CSM was going to roll despite all its mistakes. But, just like Pollack commented about their Week 1 win over Laney College, the Bulldogs seemed to take their collective foot off the accelerator. The result was a half in which CSM only scored seven more points. And were it not for the hustle of Michael Latu and Dominick Jackson on a lost CSM fumble — a

play that saw Latu chase down the Gladiator defender 60 yards and punch the ball out of his arm only to have a hustling Jackson fall on top of it at the CSM 2-yard line — the game might have been a little more interesting. “I don’t know what it is,” Pollack said. “If I knew, I’d solve it. We just have to play a full game.” Naufahu finished the game with 140 yards rushing on 20 carries. He also caught a for 20 yards and touchdown. Quincy Nelson was CSM’s leading receiver with five catches for 82 yards. Fonua was 12-of-19 for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 17 yards.

MENLO Continued from page 11 came just three minutes into the third quarter when Thomas Reynolds reached pay dirt on an 18-yard touchdown run to cap off an efficient two play, 37-yard scoring drive. The defense took over from there fueled by Jaden Rosselli's teamleading six tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss. Dylan Bunfill and Camyar Meshkaty each added five tackles. Meshkaty also forced a fumble. Menlo forced and recovered three fumbles, actually. The Oaks also racked up three sacks and tallied nine tackles for loss on the afternoon. Ray Roach came up with the lone interception on the afternoon, the first of his career at Menlo. The Oaks offense totaled 357 yards (208 ing, 149 rushing) compared to just 126 total yards of offense for the Sagehens. Reynolds set the pace for Menlo's running backs by rushing for a game-high 57 yards and a touchdown. Kenneth Martey was close behind with 41 yards for the Oaks About the only dark spot for the afternoon was Menlo’s penalty problem. The Oaks tallied 12 flags for 149 total yards. The win improves Menlo to 1-2 on the season and drops PomonaPitzer to 0-2. The Oaks return to the friendly confines of Connor Field in Atherton next Saturday for a noon meeting with Pacific University of Oregon.

Kiwis close in on deleting Ellison from Cup By Bernie Wilson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Emirates Team New Zealand is getting closer to pushing the delete button on software tycoon Larry Ellison in the America’s Cup. On one of the liveliest days of the regatta, Dean Barker and the rest of the Kiwi crew earned a split Sunday with Oracle Team USA t o move within two races of yanking the oldest trophy in international sports away from the Americanbased powerhouse. The day got revving when Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill posted a tweet that some people found offensive. Spithill later deleted it. It ended with a race that saw four lead changes, strong winds on San Francisco Bay and a shift in momentum back to the Kiwis. “I think if you didn’t enjoy today’s racing you should watch another sport,” Barker said. Team New Zealand, which almost capsized during a 52-second loss Saturday, leads 7-1. Monday is a lay day. If Team New Zealand sweeps Tuesday’s two races — weather permitting — it will claim the Auld Mug for the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron for the second time in 18 years. Even if it continues to split races, Team New Zealand can essentially run out the clock against

Emirates Team New Zealand (R) and Oracle Team USA sail against the city skyline during Race 10 of the 34th America’s Cup yacht sailing race in San Francisco Sunday. Oracle Team USA, which brought the America’s Cup back to the United States in 2010 after a 15year absence. “Exactly,” said Barker, who added that there’s “a lot of work to do still.” Oracle Team USA, owned by Ellison, needs to win eight more races to keep the Cup. It entered the series with a two-point penalty for the biggest cheating scandal in the Cup’s 162-year history. Oracle might have put some worry into the Kiwis by leading wire-to-wire to win Race 9 by 47 seconds, especially since changes

to its catamaran and better crew work has Oracle sailing much better upwind. It was the first time in this regatta that Oracle won consecutive races and had Ellison flashing a double thumbs-up from a chase boat. Race 10 was even better, with four lead changes, the final one going to the Kiwis. “That was a really big point for us, yeah,” Barker said after steering his 72-foot catamaran to a 17-second victory. “We definitely needed it.” The Kiwis had two big moments

in Race 10. As the boats sped across the starting line in Race 10 toward the reaching first mark, Spithill had the acceleration, but his catamaran came off its hydrofoils at one point, allowing Barker to get the inside position. Barker was able to keep his 72-foot catamaran overlapped with Oracle for a 4-second lead turning onto the downwind second leg. The boats swapped leads sailing upwind toward the Golden Gate Bridge, with Oracle leading by 1 second at the third gate. The boats split gybes sailing downwind. When they came together, the American boat chose to slow and duck behind the Kiwis rather than gybing on them to cover, losing more than 100 yards. Barker kept the lead as he rounded the fourth mark and sped to the finish line just off Pier 27-29. “It was pretty close on that final run into the finish,” said star British Olympic sailor Ben Ainslie, who replaced American John Kostecki as Oracle’s tactician on Thursday. Oracle won Race 9 decisively even after hitting something with its port rudder before the race. The shore crew repaired the top rudder bearing before the start and was making more repairs before Race 10. Oracle had been getting stomped by the Kiwis sailing the only

upwind leg on the course, but that changed since it made changes to its wing sail and jib setup to have the boat better balanced. The crew work also improved. At one point on the windward leg in Race 9, as the boats zigzagged toward the Golden Gate Bridge, Ainslie was heard to say, “Lovely tack.” Does Oracle wish it had made the changes earlier? “We wish we’d made them about a year ago, to be honest,” Spithill said. “Then we might have found a few more. Look, this is the name of the game. This is a development boat. Like any racing sport, whether it be Formula One or MotoGP, you’re constantly learning at a race mode. We finally get to the race now and this is the most we’ve learned, really. Hindsight’s a beautiful thing, but the important thing is how you react and how you go from here on. Even after today we’ve got a heap of stuff that we’d like to do to the boat.” On Sunday morning, Spithill tweeted a picture of a message that apparently was posted at the syndicate base to fire up the sailing team. The message included an expletive. He later deleted it after having a talk with America’s Cup CEO Stephen Barclay. “If you get offended easily, you should probably stay away from the social media world,” Spithill said.

A’s beat Rangers to complete big sweep By Stephen Hawkins THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas — The AL West-leading Oakland A’s arrived in Texas hoping to win the series. They did a whole lot more than that. After their starting pitcher was scratched only an hour before the game, and their top slugger also was taken out of the lineup, the Athletics kept winning. Tommy Milone threw five solid innings and Oakland hit three home runs in a 5-1 win Sunday to complete a three-game sweep of the chasing

and slumping Texas Rangers. “I don’t know that we could have asked much more than that,” manager Bob Melvin said. “Once you win two games, you want to get greedy and we had some things pop up before the game.” Even without right-hander Jarrod Parker and Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland took a commanding 6 1/2-game division lead with two weeks left after the final regularseason series between the AL West’s top two teams. The A’s have won five in a row and 13 of 16 overall. “We came in and won the

games,” said Josh Donaldson, who hit one of the homers. “Great baseball all the way around for our team.” Chris Young and Josh Reddick also homered for Oakland, which finished a 5-1 trip and opens its final homestand of the regular season Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. Texas lost its sixth in a row, all at home and never leading in any of them, and is 2-11 in September after beginning the month with a two-game lead. Coupled with a sweep by Pittsburgh, this was the Rangers’ first winless homestand

of at least six games since moving to Texas in 1972. “Just as quickly as it started, it can turn around. It’s got to,” general manager Jon Daniels said. “We’re in a pretty congested wildcard race right now.” The Rangers and Tampa Bay are tied for the two AL wild-card spots in a rapidly tightening race. Cleveland, Baltimore, the Yankees and Kansas City are all within 3 1/2 games of Texas and the Rays. Texas starts a four-game series at Tropicana Field on Monday. “I’m not frustrated with the way

we played,” manager Ron Washington, putting emphasis on how he felt about the Oakland series. “In the first game, we had chances. The second day, we had chances in a 1-0 ball game. ... It wasn’t like they came in and dominated and we didn’t have chances.” Milone (11-9) struck out five and allowed only one run after Parker was scratched because of illness. “He’s pitched once in 14 days and has to go up against the lineup, in this ballpark, and gives us five innings and one run.

LOS ANGELES — Brett Pill has been bugging Hunter Pence for hitting tips lately, and for good reason: His Giants teammate has homered in four straight games. Pill summed up Pence’s advice this way: “I just try to kill the ball.” Did he ever against the Dodgers. Pence hit two more homers, Pill connected for a tiebreaking shot leading off the eighth inning, and San Francisco Giants beat Los Angeles 4-3 on Sunday. Pence said he simply told Pill, “I

try to see the ball and hit it as hard as I can. Then he gets all mad at me.” Pence got his revenge when Pill hit the second pinch-hit homer of his career. “I couldn’t wait to ask him what was he thinking,” Pence said, laughing. Pence has 19 RBIs in six games, the most for a Giants player in that span since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920, according to information provided to the Giants by the Elias Sports Bureau. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone that hot,” Giants starter Ryan

Vogelsong said. Pence became the first Giants player to homer in four consecutive games since Barry Bonds from September 2005. Pence drove in three runs, a day after his grand slam and career-high seven RBIs led the Giants to a 19-3 rout at Dodger Stadium. “It’s fun to watch when you see a good hitter locked in,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Pence piled up the most RBIs in a series against the Dodgers since 1935, when Ripper Collins of St. Louis had 13 during a five-game set.

“It was pretty tough to see out there, the sun is bright,” Pence said. “I just block out anything that has happened (before). Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of hits and some good fortune. Yesterday, I had two bloopers.” The Dodgers rallied in the ninth, but pinch-hitter Yasiel Puig grounded out with the bases loaded to end the game. The NL West leaders lost three of four to San Francisco, and the magic number to clinch their first division title since 2009 remained at four after second-place Arizona won. “We’re definitely looking for the

clincher,” first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said. “We wish we would have been able to do it here at home, but getting it is the most important thing and getting our guys healthy.” Pence ed Willie Mays as the only players in Giants history to homer in every game of a four-game set against the Dodgers, which Mays did twice. Pence’s five homers tied for the most ever in a series against the Dodgers, tying Philadelphia’s Mike Schmidt in 1979 (four games) and Pittsburgh’s Frank Thomas in 1958 (five games).

Mayweather leaves no doubt after another big win L

AS VEGAS — Two years. Four more fights.

The end of Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s career is in sight, because even the best fighter of his era can’t beat Father Time. He’ll be 38 and another $150 million or so richer when his lucrative contract with Showtime ends, and by then even the fighter raised from birth to be in the ring will likely have had his fill. Appreciate his spectacular skills while you can. After what Mayweather did Saturday night to Canelo Alvarez, it’s hard to argue when he proclaims himself as one of the greatest ever to lace on the gloves. The only real question now is, can anyone give him a legitimate fight?

TIM DAHLBERG

“I don’t know what the future holds now,” Mayweather said. “I’m not psychic.” Maybe not, but Mayweather knows this: He’ll fight next May (Cinco de Mayweather he calls it) against someone and he’ll make another huge purse to fund his ever growing collection of exotic cars and his six-figure bets on football and basketball games. After that, there will be three more fights, and then Mayweather plans to retire to his Big Boy mansion on a golf course near the Las Vegas Strip. “I’ve only got 24 months left,” he said. Whether he sticks to that plan remains to be seen, of course. Fighters can be their own worst enemies when it comes time to calling it quits, and Mayweather by then would likely be 49-0 and one fight away from breaking the unbeaten mark set by Rocky Marciano before he retired. Mayweather’s problem right now is he might be too good. Alvarez was supposed to be the one fighter who could give him a tussle, but the Mexican champion spent all night punching at air as

‘Insidious’sequel scares up box-office success By Sandy Cohen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers had an appetite for fright this weekend, sending “Insidious: Chapter 2” to the top of the box office. The haunted-house horror sequel debuted in first place with $41 million, more than tripling the opening take of the 2010 original. Debuting on Friday the 13th, FilmDistrict’s “Insidious: Chapter 2” scored the highest September opening day ever, said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. “It was a perfect release date for this movie,” he said. “James Wan has cracked the code on making great horror movies.”

The director had another firstplace opener earlier this summer with the “The Conjuring,” another haunted-house thriller starring Patrick Wilson. Wilson returns in “Insidious 2,” playing a husband and father with some scary personal baggage. FilmDistrict’s president of distribution, Jim Orr, said the film’s ticket sales nearly doubled studio expectations. “It’s great to be in business with Blumhouse Productions and James Wan,” he said. “They’re just ridiculously talented and delivered a phenomenal film.” Another newcomer, Relativity Media’s Robert De Niro-Michelle Pfeiffer crime caper “The Family,” opened in second place with $14.5 million.

Quite often, we know our kids have been naughty before we see the evidence; we see the guilty look. People swear their dog gives this same look. Animal behaviorists would say otherwise. Take the example of the dog who has an accident in the house when his owner is away. They say they know he’s done something wrong the minute they walk in the door by the look on his face.

Both “The Butler” and “We’re the Millers” have been in theaters for more than a month, contributing to a hearty box-office that’s been up the past four consecutive weeks after a record-breaking summer season. “These movies have legs week after week, and that’s bolstering the entire marketplace,” Dergarabedian said. “If you just have the brand-new movies doing well and the holdovers are dropping like rocks, then you have a problem.”

Then, when they “go” in an appropriate place, act like they just won the lottery — heap on praise! If you have a sneaky dog or have trouble catching him in the act, set him up.

Miss New York crowned 2014 Miss America By Wayne Parry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Nina Davuluri became the first contestant of Indian heritage and the second consecutive contestant from New York to win the Miss America pageant Sunday night. Davuluri, 24, won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City. She succeeds another Miss New York, Mallory Hagan, whose tenure was cut short when the pageant moved back to Atlantic City

Nina Davuluri was crowned Miss America last night.

PARKS Continued from page 1 crowd is that it generally understands the concept of giving from the get-go and don’t need to question why a government agency is asking. The donors are asked to give a credit card number but will not be charged unless the given project reaches 100 percent of its funding goal before the deadline ends. Bott said that plays in the all-or-nothing mode of fundraising which is common because donors are concerned about what happens with their money if projects don’t get enough money to make them a reality.

HISTORY Continued from page 3 In the early 1900s, there was a movement to bring a railroad to the coast to better facilitate the movement of produce from the fertile Half Moon Bay fields. The Ocean Shore Railroad was completed to Tobin Station in Pacifica on Oct. 2, 1907. The next most challenging part of the railroad was getting around the dangerous sliding sedimentary rock of San Pedro Mountain. The most treacherous 1,000 feet occurred where the roadbed was built 300 feet above the ocean at Devil’s Slide. When complet-

After the traditional frolic in the Atlantic City surf Monday morning, she will head to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside park and Seaside Heights on Monday afternoon. The pageant had pitted 53 contestants — one from each state, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto

Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions. “This is where we belong,” Sam Haskell, CEO of the Miss America Organization, told The Associated Press. “This is the home of Miss America, and this is where we’re going to stay.” Much attention had been given to Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, who is believed to be the first Miss America contestant to openly display tattoos. She has the Serenity Prayer on her rib cage and a military insignia on the back of a

In the case of the fire rings, investors have a little less than three months to raise $27,540. As of Friday, six investors have contributed $1,270 to outfit the park’s 60 campsites with replacements of the current old brick and heavy metal grill construction. “All of us have a memory of camping,” Bott said. The thornmint population needs a little more help. As of Friday, two people had contributed $90 out of a needed $5,400. Funding for future years is in the works but a gap in funding means the December 2013 seeding window at Edgewood Park may be lost, according to the project description on Citizinvestor. The seeding hasn’t actually been done for a couple of years which hampers scientific

monitoring and study. Bicycle Sundays needs $10,800 and one person as of Friday has pledged $50. Bott joked that she wished she could have asked to fund a “month of Sundays” but instead settled for a portion of the overall financial goal. With government budgets pulling tighter and tighter, Bott and Citizinvestor cofounder Jordan Raynor say the crowdfunding option is a way to drum up alternative funding for projects that might not otherwise make the cut while giving donors a way to be more personally involved in their ion. The county’s parks have no dedicated source of funding and are often first on the budgetary chopping block. Advocates twice tried unsuccessfully to a sales tax

ed in May 1908, the engers were petrified and thrilled at the same time as they moved across this treacherous section of the Ocean Shore Railroad in their open bed railroad car. The granite rock of Montara Mountain to the south was in sharp contrast to the loose nature of the shale and sandstone that continued to cause problems when it rained. At the completion of this section the railroad opened up the Half Moon Bay valley and allowed produce to move more easily to San Francisco in a fraction of the previous time. Realtors sponsored weekend excursion trains that brought down thousands of potential customers to visit and buy real estate in the wonderful valleys on the coastside. The Ocean Shore Railroad was a viable

means of transportation to the coastside from 1907 to 1920. However, in 1921 it went bankrupt, and it was not until 1937 that the t Highway District Number Nine was formed and the present day Highway 1 was built. The new road utilized most of the railroad’s right of way, thereby bying the great height of the old roads over Montara Mountain. The highway from Pacifica to Montara, 5.9 miles, was a great improvement over the old 10.6-mile section of the Coastside Boulevard. Highway 1 had only 28 curves, its highest point was 465 feet and it was 26 feet wide. It has become one of the most unique and scenic sections of the coast. In May 2005, due to many slides and

BUDGET Continued from page 1 adoption total $51.5 million the first budget year, of which $1.6 million is leveraged from other sources. The next year’s proposals total $44.6 million with $2.2 million from other sources. The Seton Medical Center subsidy isn’t included for the second year because the amount has yet to be penciled out.

HOTEL Continued from page 1 up to $4.75 million to MidPen Housing to fund the acquisition of land for construction of 66 affordable housing units on the city-owned 15-acre site. The $27.4 million project is expected to be largely financed with tax credits through the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and would rely on nearly $8 million in local taxpayer dollars from the city and county to compete for federal tax credit financing funds, according to a staff report. MidPen will be applying for the grant funding while the city finalizes drafting

At times Alonso would hide the employee’s cellphone and purse so that she could not leave the store after her shift ended and that Cardona was ordered to keep an eye on the woman “at all times so he would know where she was.” The woman confided in the plaintiff about Alonso’s behavior who then brought it up to him directly, according to the complaint. She was told by Alonso that “the matter had been taken care of” but Cardona decided to complain to another superior, Oscar Perez, who told her that he did not believe the allegations, according to the complaint. The sexual harassment then increased, according to the complaint, and Cardona was told to keep an eye on the female employee “if you value your job.” She complained again later to Perez who again said that he did not believe the allegations so Cardona went straight to Executive Director Lorraine Moriarty, who told her that Perez was the proper person to lodge complaints with, according to the lawsuit.

Other significant budget changes noted by Maltbie’s office heading into to the budget talks include more than $150 million the next two years to build the Maple Street Correctional Center; $62 million spread over two years for other capital improvement projects like Devil’s Slide, replacing the Skylonda Fire Station and infrastructure projects; paying down the unfunded pension liability by spending $50 million in fiscal year 2013-14 and $10 million in fiscal year 2014-15;

A major information technology overhaul to the tune of $26.4 million in fiscal year 2013-14 and $27.9 million the next; $13.4 million for affordable housing and emergency shelters; and reestablishing the Parks Department as a separate department.

a proposed disposition and development agreement and other documents to authorize the sale of the 15 acres. MidPen has requested that the City Council approve a resolution of intent from the city to demonstrate its of the project so that the county will see that funds from the city will be in place if the granting agencies award funding for the project, according to the staff report. In April, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution that dedicated 100 percent of the housing funds, about $13.4 million, the county received from the dissolution of former redevelopment agencies throughout the county toward affordable housing. MidPen might be able to

secure up to $3 million of those funds for its Foster City project, according to the staff report. As one of the projects will bring affordable housing to the city, the other is expected to boost transient-occupancy taxes. The proposal to modify the Vintage Park General Development Plan for the site would allow a second hotel in the Vintage Park neighborhood in addition to the previously approved Crowne Plaza hotel bringing a total of 475 hotel rooms to the area near the Bridgepointe Shopping Center in San Mateo.

Meanwhile, the sexual harassment allegedly continued. “He would touch her front shirt zipper and tell her to show some cleavage to make more sales. He would monitor the store’s security camera so that it focused on (the victim). He harassed her about whether she had a romantic relationship with another employee. He sent a text message to the plaintiff asking her if she was prostituting (the victim) to increase sales,” according to the complaint. This time, Cardona allegedly showed the “vulgar” text message to Perez who allegedly said he would actually talk to the store manager this time about his behavior. The harassment allegedly continued, however, so Cardona complained this time to the nonprofit’s board President Lawrence P. Nejasmich. Nejasmich actually responded in writing in a July 29, 2012 letter thanking her for “doing the right thing” and assuring her that “appropriate action” had been taken regarding her sexual harassment complaint. The harassment allegedly continued, however, so Cardona brought up the matter again to Nejasmich, according to the complaint. This time, though, Cardona was told to go through the “appropriate chain of command.” Cardona’s boss Alonso was then transferred to a different store and the new boss, Olga Maria Herrera, “immediately began a campaign of harassment and belittlement toward the plaintiff,” according to the complaint.

Cardona’s job duties were then diminished and when she applied for vacation time, Herrera would approve it “and then at the last minute, reschedule plaintiff’s vacation time,” according to the complaint. Herrera would also allegedly yell at the plaintiff in public, according to the complaint, and allegedly said, “if you --- with me, you will see what will happen and that if plaintiff valued here job, she had better play ball.” In September 2012, Herrera sent Cardona a “written warning and counseling statement” for violating company policy and then in November fired her, according to the complaint. Herrera also allegedly accused the plaintiff of stealing from the company in front of other store employees. Cardona is suing the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Alonso, Herrera and Perez and is seeking up to $350,000 in damages for lost wages and benefits and for mental and emotional distress. By making the complaints about the alleged sexual harassment perpetrated by her boss, Cardona claims she suffered “a pattern of severe on-the-job harassment.” Cardona is seeking a jury trial and punitive damages as well. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul helps families and individuals facing emergency situations in the county. It feeds the homeless, provides shelter and offers basic survival necessities. Executive Director Lorraine Moriarty is currently on vacation and could not be reached for comment.
