Affordable housing pressure for wellness community Legislators, officials, advocates forces while health care district commits to more study By Austin Walsh DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local legislators, officials and housing advocates are applying mounting pressure on the Peninsula Health Care District to construct affordable housing in the wellness community proposed in Burlingame. The sweeping residential and medical development proposal near the Mills-Peninsula Medical Center should include below-mar-

ket units serving local residents, according to public comments made during a district board meeting Thursday, Oct. 25. A top district Lawrence official said Cappel board are receptive to the idea but need to study the issue more to assure

such a development is feasible and in alignment with the charge to serve the local health care community. Lawrence Cappel, chair of the health care district’s board of directors, detailed the willingness to further examine affordable housing as the project proposal moves through the planning process. “I think we’ve got a lot on our plate to discuss and the good news is we are very willing to discuss it

and see how it fits into our plans,” said Cappel, in response to the call for affordable housing. Health care district officials are crafting a vision for a project proposed to include 375 senior housing units, 250,000 square feet of professional office and medical research space, plus additional amenities across 8 acres near Trousdale Drive. Burlingame Mayor Michael Brownrigg and San Mateo Councilman Joe Goethals were

among those who spoke at the most recent meeting encouraging health care officials to blend affordable housing into those plans. Brownrigg said he would like to see health care officials seize their chance to the broader effort to relieve the housing crunch facing many by constructing some below-market-rate units. “This is really a crisis and they

Home shoppers exhausted by the historically expensive local market may be encouraged by signs showing home prices are not increasing at the torrid pace known over recent years, according to a recent report. Housing market analysis center CoreLogic found Bay Area housing price jumps in September were the least aggressive in over a year, and sales are decreasing in frequen-

cy as well. Andrew LePage, analyst for CoreLogic, characterized the trends as a welcome development for those who have struggled for an extended period of time with affording buying a home. “As we head into next year, if we see the current trend continue, then it’s likely that price appreciation would moderate,” he said.

Longtime judge to assume presiding role in 2019 Jonathan Karesh to weigh limited court funding as well as assignments in two-year term By Anna Schuessler DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For about as long as he can , San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Karesh has imagined himself playing a role in a courtroom.  Having grown up watching his father adjudicate cases for decades in San Francisco and Alameda counties, the decision to pursue a career in the criminal justice system

Jonathan Karesh

was a natural one for the longtime San Mateo resident and the court’s assistant presiding judge.  Come January, Karesh, 58, will have a chance to set the tone for the county court system having been elected in September to take the

reins from Presiding Judge Susan Etezadi in 2019 and 2020. Before he was appointed to the bench in 2001, Karesh served as a deputy district attorney in San Mateo County for some 14 years and focused on civil asset forfeiture cases, in which money is seized from drug dealers and forfeited to the state.  As a prosecutor, Karesh said his mission was to seek justice, and has found his work as a judge requires him to see both sides of

an issue and take into how the criminal justice system affects those who interact with it.  “As a judge, you do have more of a flexibility to craft solutions and see both sides of the issue,” he said.  In addition to a full trial schedule, as assistant presiding judge Karesh has overseen court commissioners and pro tem judges, who work pro bono and see cases in

The ‘War to End All Wars’ ended 100 years ago Police reports Taking a one way trip Two naked individuals were transported to the hospital for medical treatment, they were suspected of being under the influence of LSD and in one of their backpacks were sheets with suspected 720 pieces of LSD, it was reported in unincorporated San Mateo County at 5:57 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22.

his Veterans Day is different. It was 100 years ago, on Nov. 11, 1918, that World War I ended with an armistice halting the bloodbath that decimated Europe. Until it was renamed Veterans Day, the holiday was known as Armistice Day to recall the “war to end all wars.” This didn’t end wars, of course, even though there was hope it might. Until World War II came along a generation later and we started numbering wars, World War I was simply the World War or the Great War. The war was so savage that soldiers killed each other right up to the cease fire on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

San Mateo County residents have a permanent reminder of the war. Memorial Park near La Honda is so named for a reason. It is dedicated to the memory of San Mateo County soldiers killed in the conflict with . About 3,000 people attended the dedication on July 4, 1924, according to reports in newspapers, which were then the only means of spreading the word.

The festivities included a free barbecue and an open air dance floor featuring an eight-piece orchestra. Despite the lure of a good time, the dedication was a solemn event. Supervisor Thomas Hickey of South San Francisco read the names of 52 county residents who died in the war. Many of them succumbed to the influenza epidemic that ravaged the world during and immediately after the war. Hickey dedicated a grove of 52 trees, one tree in memory of each of the casualties. Few people realize how devastating the flu of 1918 was. The National Archives estimated that the flu killed 50 million people while the war took 16 million lives. “Within months, it had killed more than any other illness in recorded history,” the archives said in a summary of the deadly virus that attacked one fifth of the world’s population. Redwood City, with a population of around 2,500 during the war, lost 10 men in World War I, more than any city in San Mateo County. Nearly all died of the flu. The 1919 Sequoia High School yearbook contained five pages about former students

who served in uniform. The names included Army l. James Wilson who was killed in the battle of the Meuse-Argonne in , a major offensive in which 26,000 Americans died. The yearbook gave a dramatic of his death. Wilson was wounded in the leg and “was helped into a shell hole and left in good spirits with a supply of water.” His fellow soldiers were so confident he would be taken to the rear that they charged on. One of his pals wrote Wilson’s family that the wound wasn’t serious and “that he was probably safe in a hospital at the rear.” There was speculation that Wilson was killed by a sniper as he lay helpless in the shell hole. Most likely, Wilson had trained at Camp Fremont, a 7,000-acre installation that sprawled over parts of Menlo Park and Palo Alto. The camp had around 1,000 buildings, including a hostess house for the visiting families of soldiers, which remains standing a century later. The hostess house, designed by famous San Francisco-born architect Julia Morgan, survives as the popular MacArthur Park Restaurant in Palo Alto.

Taxes, Trump, housing fueling governor’s race THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — California’s race for governor pits Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and former San Francisco mayor, against Republican businessman John Cox. Here’s a look at where they stand on issues that have shaped the race:

Proposition 6 Lawmakers and outgoing Gov. Jerry Brown last year raised gas taxes by 12 cents to 41.7 cents per gallon and vehicle registration fees by $25 to $175 per year to pay for road repairs. Cox is chairman of the group that collected signatures asking voters to repeal it. He has made rolling back the increasGavin Newsom es — and requiring voter approval for any future hikes — a centerpiece of a campaign focused on reducing taxes and regulations. Newsom s the gas tax increase.

Housing Newsom has pledged to build 3.5 million new housing units by 2025. That’s the number experts say is needed to catch up with current needs and keep pace with demand. Critics say it’s unrealistic in a state that has never built so many homes so fast. He also calls for building more subsidized housing. Cox notes that it’s significantly cheaper to build homes in Indiana, where he owns

He pledges to get rid of strict regulations that he says drive up the cost of construction and to reform the California Environmental Quality Act, which critics say is abused by developJohn Cox ment opponents to block new construction or delay it through years of lawsuits. CEQA, as it’s known, requires local governments to identify and mitigate environmental harms from construction projects. Both candidates oppose Proposition 10, a ballot measure that would pave the way for expanded rent control. Opponents say it would lower real estate values, further decreasing the state’s housing supply by discouraging construction.

President Trump After trying to distance himself from Trump early in the race, Cox embraced the president and was rewarded with a series of laudatory tweets that helped him consolidate among Republicans and finish second in the June primary to secure a ballot slot in the general election. Trump never came to California to campaign for Cox, who has walked a tightrope during his race against Newsom — staying close enough to the president to satisfy Republicans who back Trump but not so close to alienate independents he needs to attract to win.

This gift extended her life almost 14 years, but she died after waiting over three years for a second transplant.

92/101 interchange improvements gather momentum Plans to address traffic congestion on the Highway 101/State Route 92 interchange are heading to the San Mateo and Foster City councils on Monday, Nov. 5. The plans, which are on the consent calendar for both cities, consist of two proposed projects that would add capacity between the Highway 101 on-ramps and Mariners Island Boulevard as well as high occupancy vehicle lanes and modified striping to deter drivers from cutting in line, among other modifications, according to a staff report.    One project received $630, 000 in Measure A funds with a local match of $35,000 from both cities and the other received $2.2 million in Measure A funds with a local match of $11,500 from each city. The San Mateo County Transportation Authority would take the lead on both projects and an initial phase of studies would likely take 10 to 12 months to complete. The interchange has long been known for its traffic congestion, particularly eastbound during evening rush hour when countless Silicon Valley and Peninsula workers commute home to the East Bay. Studies on potential solutions for the interchange date back to 2013, according to the report.

Teen arrested in San Mateo train shooting A 16-year-old Hayward boy was arrested Friday in connection with a suspected gangrelated shooting last week near the San Mateo Caltrain station parking lot, authorities said today. A 20-year-old San Mateo man suffered a non-life-threatening injury in the shooting, which was reported about 9 p.m. on Oct. 26, police said. When officers responded, they found the victim in the Caltrain parking lot with a single gunshot wound. After canvassing the area, police found the gun suspected in the shooting and determined the incident happened in a nearby alley along North B Street. Detectives identified the Hayward teen as a suspect and tracked him down to a location in Burlingame, where he was taken into custody about 3:20 p.m. Friday. A search warrant was served at the teen’s home in the 800 block of West Sunset Boulevard in Hayward, where additional evidence was collected, police said. The teen was booked into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of attempted homicide, juvenile possession of a firearm, and gang enhancement. Anyone with information regarding the incident, or the identity of other involved parties is asked to call 522-7655.

By Zeke Miller and Jill Colvin THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MACON, Ga. — President Donald Trump appeared to distance himself from the fate of House Republican candidates Sunday as he devotes his final two days before Tuesday’s midterm elections to helping Senate and gubernatorial candidates. Speaking to reporters as he left the White House en route to get-out-the-vote rallies in Georgia and Tennessee on Sunday, Trump said Republican enthusiasm is higher than he’s ever seen — but he seemed to dampen expectations for his party in the House. “I think we’re going to do well in the House, ” he said of Tuesday’s races. “But, as you know, my primary focus has been on the Senate, and I think we’re doing really well in the Senate. ” The comments mark the starkest indication that Trump has grown less optimistic about the GOP’s chances of retaining con-

trol of the House, where Republicans face greater headwinds than in the Senate. And they came as Trump’s travels in the closing stretch before mid that could profoundly change his presidency are largely Donald Trump taking him to traditionally Republican states to campaign on behalf of statewide candidates. The president’s closing argument to voters was on stark display Sunday as he seeks to motivate complacent Republican voters to the polls by stoking fears about the prospects of Democratic control. “You want to see Georgia prosperity end?” Trump told the rally crowd in Macon, Georgia. “Vote for the Democrat. ” Trump’s remarks included ominous references to the “Antifa” far-left-leaning militant groups and a migrant caravan marching toward the U. S. -Mexico border that he has called an “invasion. ”

By Ken Thomas THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — No longer reluctant to speak out, former President Barack Obama delivered a closing argument for Democrats that seeks a firm check on President Donald Trump’s policies in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Obama and Trump offered competing visions for the country in a split screen of campaigning on Sunday, seeking to galvanize voter turnout in the fight to control Congress and governors’ mansions. Obama rallied Democrats in Gary, Indiana, on behalf of Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., who faces a stiff challenge from Republican businessman Mike Braun. Later in the day, the former president was campaigning in his hometown of Chicago for businessman J.B. Pritzker, Democrats’ nominee for Illinois governor. Obama has taken on a more public role this fall after refraining from offering a fullblown counterpoint to Trump’s policies, which have sought to dismantle Obama’s legacy. Without invoking his name, Obama has accused Trump of lying and “fear-mongering” and warned Democrats not to be distracted. Trump has punched back, accusing Obama of leaving behind a trail of broken promises on trade, the economic recovery and a promise during his presidency that patients could keep their doctors under his health care law. Trump headlined a Sunday afternoon rally in Macon, Georgia, and was appearing later in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in of Republican Brian Kemp, who is running for Georgia governor, and Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who is seeking an open Senate seat in Tennessee. A look at campaign activities on Sunday:

Obama Obama praised Donnelly during a rally in northwest Indiana as someone who’s honest and direct, telling voters, “You don’t want a yes man.” Obama’s appearance in Gary was sandwiched between Trump’s trips to Indiana on Friday and Monday to help Braun. Donnelly has often sounded far more like Trump than Obama on issues. He angered some Democrats by embracing some of Trump’s priorities, including a border wall with Mexico. But he has ed the Affordable Care Act, the health care overhaul signed into law by Obama. The former president told thousands of

Trump Rallying his faithful in Macon, Georgia, Trump praised Kemp as a “strong man” and “strong personality” and said Kemp would become a great governor for Georgia. The president assailed Kemp’s Democratic opponent, Stacey Abrams, as “one of the most extreme far-left politicians in the entire country.” The Georgia race has garnered attention from a list of high-profile backers, including Oprah Winfrey, who campaigned for Abrams last week. Abrams is attempting to become the nation’s first black female governor. Trump said Winfrey was a friend of his until he ran for president but he is now urging Georgia voters to listen to his endorsement instead of hers.

Barack Obama

Bloomberg Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pumping another $5 million in national advertising into the final two days before the midterm elections, urging voters to Democrats because of his concern about “the direction of our nation.” Bloomberg, the billionaire independent who is considering a 2020 presidential campaign as a Democrat, appears in the 2-minute ad airing Sunday during CBS’s “60 Minutes.” It will also air Monday on cable and broadcast networks. Bloomberg says in the ad that the nation needs to Democrats to “send a signal to Republicans in Washington that they have failed to lead, failed to find solutions, and failed to bring us together.”

Biden In Pennsylvania, a hoarse former Vice President Joe Biden accused the Trump istration of shredding the nation’s “moral fabric” and a GOP-controlled Congress of waging a broad war on middleclass protections, from health care to Social Security. Democrats, he said, must take back the country to reset the nation’s moral com. “This is the United States of America,” Biden said. “We can take it back.”

State candidates rally voters amidst a final midterm push THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — Californians will help determine which party controls the U.S. House, choose a successor for the state’s longest serving governor, and weigh in on ballot measures to repeal a tax increase and expand rent control in this year’s midterm election. Candidates made their final pitches Sunday as campaign volunteers furiously worked to make sure their voters show up at the polls or postmark their ballots. It’s California’s fourth election since voters adopted a primary system that allows two candidates of the same party to face off. That’s produced contests between two Democrats in a handful of federal and state races, showcasing the party’s dominance over Republicans in the nation’s most populous state. Here’s what to know ahead of Tuesday:

Who votes and when More than 19.6 million Californians are ed to vote. That’s about 78 percent of eligible voters, the highest percentage of ed voters in a midterm election since 1950. Most California voters — more than 13 million — received mail-in ballots and more than 3 million people had cast them as of Friday, according to county data compiled by the non-partisan Political Data, Inc. Republican, older and white voters are more likely to vote early. As the election gets close, though, voters younger than 50 are returning early ballots at a higher rate than they did during the primary. That’s also true in Orange County south of Los Angeles, one of the biggest battlegrounds for the U.S. House. That could be a good sign for Democrats hoping for a “blue wave,” said Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political Data.

How the count works As long as California ballots are post-marked by Election Day and received by Friday, they will be counted. But because so many voters cast ballots by mail, it takes weeks for every ballot to be counted. That means the outcome of close races may not be known until well after Election Day. Depending on how Democrats fare in the rest of the country, the nation could end up waiting on California to learn which party takes control of the U.S. House.

Orange County Orange County is experiencing an unusual amount of preelection buzz and activity from Democrats, reflecting its importance as a national battleground for the U.S. House. U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom campaigned there Saturday, while U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein planned to bring her re-election bid to the city of Irvine on Sunday night alongside gun control activists from Parkland, Florida. In an upbeat Sunday morning rally, Democrats Attorney General Xavier Becerra and state Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon told volunteers that the election hinges on Orange County.

Trump presidency faces high stakes in mid By Zeke Miller and Catherine Lucey THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has been acting like a candidate on the ballot this week, staging daily double-header rallies and blasting out ads for Republicans up for election on Tuesday. Given the stakes for his presidency, he might as well be. A knot of investigations. Partisan gridlock. A warning shot for his re-election bid. Trump faces potentially debilitating fallout should Republicans lose control of one or both chambers in Congress, ending two years of GOP hegemony in Washington. A White House that has struggled to stay on course under favorable circumstances would be tested in dramatic ways. A president who often battles his own party, would face a far less forgiving opposition. On the flip side, if Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate, that’s not only a victory for the GOP, but a validation of Trump’s brand of politics and his unconventional presidency. That result, considered less likely even within the White House, would embolden the president as he launches his own re-election bid. White House aides insist the president doesn’t spend much time contemplating defeat, but he has begun to try to calibrate expectations. He has focused on the competitive Senate races the final days of his scorched-earth campaign blitz, and has distanced himself from blame should Republicans lose the House. If that happens, he intends to claim victory, arguing his efforts on the campaign trail narrowed GOP losses and helped them hold the Senate, according to a person familiar with Trump’s thinking who asked for anonymity because the person was not authorized

to discuss White House conversations by name. Throughout the campaign, Trump has been tested out other explanations — pointing to historical headwinds for the party of an incumbent president and complaining about a rash of GOP retirements this year. He told the AP last month that he won’t bear any responsibility should Democrats take over. At a rally in West Virginia Friday a defiant Trump brushed off the prospect of a Democratic House takeover. “It could happen,” he said, adding “don’t worry about it. I’ll just figure it out.” Meanwhile his staff has begun preparations to deal with a flood of subpoenas that could arrive next year from Democrat-controlled committees and the White House counsel’s office has been trying to attract seasoned lawyers to field oversight inquiries. Should they take the House, Democrats are already plotting to reopen the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. Other committees are plotting aggressive oversight of Trump’s istration and his web of business interests. Some Democrats are looking at using the House Ways and Means Committee to obtain copies of the president’s tax returns after he broke with decades of tradition and withheld them from public scrutiny during his campaign for the White House. A slim Republican majority in the House would also present challenges, likely inflaming simmering intraparty disputes. First among them would be a potentially bitter leadership fight in the House to replace retiring Speaker Paul Ryan. But a narrowed majority would also exacerbate divisions over policy — and continued unified control could leave the GOP facing the blame for gridlock.

Yoga shooter appeared to have made misogynistic videos By Gary Fineout THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A brooding military veteran and former teacher appeared to have made videos in which he railed at women and blacks, years before he fatally shot two women at a Florida yoga studio, wounded five other people and then killed himself. The Friday evening shooting at a busy upscale shopping plaza jolted the state capital and police said they were still searching for a motive that led to the deaths of a Florida State University student and a wellknown local doctor who was a member of the school faculty. But details about 40-year-old Scott Paul Beierle began to emerge in the hours after, including that he had once been banned from FSU’s campus and had been arrested twice for grabbing women even though the charges were ultimately dropped. Beierle, who had moved to the central Florida town of Deltona after getting a graduate degree from FSU, appeared to post a series of videos on YouTube in 2014 where

he called women “whores” if they dated black men, said many black women were “disgusting” and described himself as a misogynist. A Tallahassee police spokesman would not confirm or deny the videos were Beierle’s. Scott Beierle However, the man speaking in the videos looks like Beierle and biographical details mentioned in the videos match known facts about Beierle, including details about his military service. Also, the poster’s YouTube name included the word “Scott,” Beierle’s first name. The existence of the videos was first reported by BuzzFeed. In one video, the man said promiscuous women deserved to be crucified and he suggested putting up land mines to keep people from crossing into the U.S. from Mexico. In another video, the man who appeared to be Beierle likened his adolescent self to Elliot Rodger, a 22-year-old who killed six students and wounded more than a dozen

others near the University of California, Santa Barbara, before killing himself in 2014. Rodger was a self-identified “incel,” short for “involuntary celibate.” Tallahassee police say Beierle shot six people and pistol-whipped another after walking into the yoga studio that sits on the second floor of a shopping center located near the city’s fashionable midtown neighborhoods. Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said some in the studio showed courage by trying to stop him. Witnesses at the shopping center described how people who had been in the studio ran away, seeking shelter in nearby bars and restaurants as shots rang out. Police responded within a few minutes, but by then Beirele had fatally shot himself, leaving police to search for a motive and a community to wonder what prompted the violence. “It’s a place that brings me joy and peace, and I think it’s ruined,” said Katie Bohnett, an instructor at the yoga studio who skipped her normal Friday practice to meet a friend for dinner. “This monster ruined it.” Police said Beierle acted alone but they

were still looking into what prompted the shooting. He was originally from New York, had served in the military and once was a teacher in Maryland. After his military service, he wound up attending FSU. Kristi Malone, who had a graduate class with Beierle, said in a Facebook message that she did not interact with him outside of the classroom because of “his odd leering, inappropriate comments and general demeanor.” “I know that myself and several of my female colleagues made a point to never be alone with him even at school because of his odd behavior,” Malone said. Mike Orgo, who was friends with Beierle on Facebook, said he met him back in 2011 at comedy night open microphone sessions held at a Tallahassee restaurant. He said that he did not know him well but said he “definitely seemed angry and on edge.” Witnesses told police that Beierle posed as a customer to gain entrance to the studio, then started shooting without warning. Police have not yet said what kind of gun he used. Bohnett said she did not recognize Beierle.

Synagogue attack a reminder of how common hate crimes are By Collin Binkley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kevyn Perkins stopped cold when he saw the letters scrawled on the door to his dorm: “N----- go back” it said, inked in messy red marker. First he was blinded by confusion. Then rage. And then all he could think about was dropping out, finding a new school, escaping for good. “I thought maybe I don’t belong here. So I called my brother and I said, ‘pick me up,”’ said Perkins, 19, a freshman at the University of St. Thomas, a private and mostly white school in St. Paul, Minnesota. “He said that’s what they want you to do — you have to stay there and stay

strong.” Often overlooked amid the recent intense spasms of hatred — 11 dead in Pittsburgh synagogue, two African-Americans gunned down in a Kentucky grocery store, 13 mail bombs sent to prominent Democrats — are nearly daily flashes of hate that are no less capable of leaving their victims with deep and permanent emotional wounds. In October alone, there were dozens of examples of the kind of hatred that smolders without ever reaching national attention. It stretched from coast to coast, targeting victims because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender and myriad other differences. An Indiana woman was arrested last week

after leaving a racist letter directed at African-American neighbors, urging them to leave the neighborhood because black people weren’t welcome. As early voting started in North Carolina, a black Republican volunteer was accosted with slurs and had a gun pulled on him at a polling place, leading to one man’s arrest. An Uber enger in Colorado was arrested after threatening his Middle Eastern driver and chasing him down the street because police said he “hated all brown people.” Violent clashes broke out in New York City after a speech by the founder of a far-right group, leading to three arrests. In a Texas courtroom, a man was sentenced to 24 years in prison on Oct. 17 for

torching a mosque near the U.S.-Mexico border last year because of what authorities said was a “rabid hatred” of Muslims. In sending the arsonist to prison, Judge John Rainey declared: “This must stop. It is like a cancer to our society,” adding that incidents like this create “fear all over the world.” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said xenophobic rhetoric is feeding the anxiety of the current political moment, and that anxiety is prompting fear and promoting resentment and “all the worst impulses.” “We’re living in a moment where hate crimes are on the rise,” said Greenblatt. “We need more than ever for our leaders to ratchet back the rhetoric.”

Letters to the editor Charles Stone and the civil grand jury report on pensions Editor, Belmont Councilman Charles Stone disparages the Grand Jury’s Pension Report. The United States is a great democracy because its systems of federal and local government include checks and balances. For example, in San Mateo County, one primary check comes via our civil grand jury. On July 17 this year the grand jury sent a report, entitled “Soaring City Pension Costs – Time for Hard Choices,” to 20 San Mateo County cities requiring each city to respond to 13 findings and four recommendations by Oct. 16. On Aug. 25, Belmont approved its finance director’s draft response to the grand jury. The response contained some pushback. Further, one member of the Belmont City Council during deliberations, made what were, in my opinion, unjustified and uncalled for remarks about the competence of the grand jury. In particular, Stone stated (1hour 32 minutes into video of council meeting): “It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, it happens sometimes, all the times if you ask my wife, but the grand jury isn’t made up of financial experts, or pension experts. ... So, this isn’t a blue-ribbon commission of folks who

have expert knowledge about the way governments, about pensions, about financing about ing, or about best practices.” On behalf of numerous Belmont residents, let me state that the comments made Stone were in poor taste and uncalled for. The grand jury operates in camera, but when it needs outside expertise it quietly obtains it. Contrary to Stone’s misapprehension, the grand jury is a blue-ribbon body. Perry Kennan Belmont

Charles Stone Editor, I am writing in of Charles Stone for re-election to the Belmont City Council. My family and I have lived in Belmont for 20 years and have known Stone for more than 10 of those years. I believe what we need from our public officials is someone with deep empathy for our city, derived from many years of community involvement, a ion to work tirelessly to see and listen to opinions inside and outside of our city, and the relationships and vision to influence both. To that end, I can think of no better exemplar of this than Stone. When his children were younger,

Stone was a tireless volunteer for School Force, the foundation that s the Belmont RedwoodShores School Elementary District. Elected to the City Council in 2013, he, along with of current and past councils, was instrumental in helping to stabilize our city’s finances, chart a path for repairs of our long ignored infrastructure, and revitalize neglected and underutilized parts of the city. He’s fostered relationships with neighboring cities and state level leadership. As the current chair of the San Mateo County Transit District Board of Directors, he is able to help shape and influence solutions to one of our region’s most vexing issue, transportation and traffic. In my opinion, he’s done all of this with a level of transparency and commitment to inclusion unrivaled in recent memories. Please me in re-electing Charles Stone to the Belmont City Council.

The threat from within

T

omorrow is Election Day. It’s a mid-term more critical than usual which will determine the future of the United States and its president. If the Democrats win the House, some semblance of checks and balances will be restored. If not, Mr. Trump will be more emboldened to run wild and empowered to fuel the divisions between the two political parties and Americans. He is expected to relieve Attorney General Jeff Sessions of his duties and to hire a new chief of staff. Meanwhile the federal deficit balloons, while most Americans, no matter what their party, feel anxious about the outcome tomorrow night. It’s been a terrible few weeks. The beheading and dismemberment of a Washington Post columnist, U.S. resident and Saudi native who was a critic of the Saudi crown prince. Each day, the Saudis had a new version of what happened to journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Lies and more lies. Then came the pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats who were the subject of denigration at Trump rallies. Can you imagine ers of George Bush screaming “lock him up” (Al Gore); or ers of Mitt Romney yelling “lock him up” (Barack Obama). The discourse inspired by Mr. Trump have reached a new low in political discourse. And then the massacre in a Pittsburgh synagogue by an avowed anti-Semite and antiimmigrant. Since 2016, there has been a 60 percent increase in anti-Semitic threats and actions in this country, the biggest ever recorded. Why? Social media run amuck. Some ers of Mr. Trump are avowed white supremacists, some of whom marched in Charleston with Nazi chants and were met by a group of protesters. Mr. Trump said there were good people on both sides. David Duke applauded and said he voted for Mr. Trump. *** Mr. Trump may not be the cause of all of this but he is the symptom. The mid- are about him. On that we agree. He says a vote for any Republican is a vote for him. Lots of grave rolling starting with Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. None of these past Republican presidents would have ed Mr. Trump or what he stands for. Each of them would had enough guts to stand up and say enough is enough. Let’s hope that those who are willing to stand up and say enough is enough prevail tomorrow or we are all in for a rough ride downhill. The threat to the United States is not the caravan of immigrants. The threat is from within at the highest level. *** The Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where the Tree of Life Synagogue is located and where the massacre occurred was also Fred Rogers’ neighborhood. The kind and noble TV Mr. Rogers who brought people and children together. *** The following is from an article by Lev Golinkin, a Jewish refugee now living in New Jersey who fled antiSemitism in the Soviet Union. He writes about HIAS which used to stand for “Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society” but is now just HIAS because the organization mostly helps nonJews. After Trump became president, HIAS became one of the most vocal opponents of the White House’s attempts to ban refugees — and as a result became a frequent target of hate groups and the Pittsburgh shooter. “HIAS was what remained when the rest of your life had disintegrated, when there was no money, no way to communicate, no going back. HIAS was what kept you tethered to the world when you became a ghost, but weren’t yet ready to die. “Two decades after I came to America, HIAS found itself at the crossroads. For the first time in memory, there weren’t large numbers of Jews in need of resettlement. It was other people who needed help: children fleeing gang violence in Central America, victims of wars in East Asia, and most of all, refugees from the wars in the Middle East — people who had endured horrors that make my family’s experience seem like a luxury cruise in comparison.” Some felt it was inappropriate for HIAS, a Jewish group, to devote resources to aiding Muslims. HIAS, to its eternal credit, disagreed. As Mark Hetfield, the president and chief executive of HIAS, once told me, “We decided to help, not because they are Jewish, but because we are Jewish. “For the many churches who do similar work you could say the same thing. “We decided to help, not because they are Christians, but because we are Christians.” These are the people who exemplify Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

For some, a vibrant US economy complicates voting By Josh Boak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EXTON, Pennsylvania — For many voters in America’s affluent suburbs, a flourishing economy is forcing a thorny dilemma for the midterm elections. Do they vote Democratic, in part to protest President Donald Trump for behavior some see as divisive and unpresidential? Or do they back Republicans in hopes that the economy will continue thriving under the majority party? A healthy economy has at least complicated their decision and blurred the outcome of the midterm elections . On Friday, the government reported that employers added a robust 250,000 jobs in October. And the unemployment rate stayed at a five-decade low of 3.7 percent. At stake Tuesday is control of the House

and Senate, both now led by Republican majorities. Steady economic growth and a vigorous job market haven’t been the clincher in prosperous areas that were once seemingly safe Republican turf. Partly as a result, many analysts say Democrats stand a good chance of regaining control of the House even while Republicans maintain the Senate. The ambivalence of many voters is evident in the Philadelphia suburbs of Bucks and Chester counties. The landscape of rolling hills is dotted by shopping plazas and luxury car dealerships, by fieldstone and stucco houses that fill cul-de-sacs. Residents are likelier than the country as a whole to have college degrees, and the median family income is about $100,000. Interviews with about a dozen people elicited a range of sentiments about whether and how the economy might affect their votes. For some, all that matters is the ener-

gized pace of job growth, which began under President Barack Obama and has continued under Trump. Others, some of them lifelong Republicans, are finding their loyalties tested by a president who embraces tariffs, disparages refugees and attacks political opponents. With Pennsylvania also holding votes for governor and a Senate seat, many said they were willing to split their votes between the parties. “I’m not a fan of Donald Trump,” said 85year-old Ross Kershey. “He doesn’t respect checks and balances. But he’s certainly done well for the economy.” A retired high school history teacher, Kershey is teaching a course on the Supreme Court at Immaculata University in Malvern, a suburb of Philadelphia. Those court cases were fresh in his mind as he sipped tea and ate pancakes at an IHOP on a recent afternoon.

He objects to Trump’s recent threat to unilaterally suspend the constitutional protection of birthright citizenship as a way to control undocumented immigration. Yet for all his antipathy toward the president, the strength of the economy is at least giving Kershey pause: “I’ll probably vote Democratic, but I’m not sure yet.” Workers have been increasingly benefiting from the economy’s strength. Average pay growth for over the past 12 months has reached 3.1 percent, its best year-over-year increase since 2009, the government said Friday. Those gains have been concentrated among affluent Americans, though higher minimum wages have also helped raise the pay of many lower-income workers. Among people earning at least $100,000, 60 percent approve of how Trump has handled the economy, according to a survey by The Associated Press.

NAFTA 2.0 could draw some jobs back to US, but at what cost? By Paul Wiseman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump insists his new North American trade deal will deliver a victory for U.S. factory workers by returning many high-paying jobs to the United States. Maybe. But a review of the agreement suggests that it could also mean higher prices for consumers and more inefficiencies for businesses. And the biggest winners might end up being robots and the companies that make them. As Americans vote in the midterm elections, Trump is heralding the U.S.-MexicoCanada Agreement as a triumph for his antagonistic trade policy — an approach that he says will usher in “a new dawn for the American auto industry and the American auto worker.” The pact, unveiled Sept. 30, does appear to meet some of Trump’s goals: It could shift more factory production to the United States, thereby reversing a long-standing flow of jobs to lower-wage Mexico. And it could result in better working conditions and perhaps higher pay for Mexico’s long-suf-

But shifting away from a business model that relies on Mexican labor would likely mean higher-priced cars for American consumers. And North America’s automakers could become less competitive compared with rivals in Europe and Asia. “It’s going to be harder to keep North America competitive as a manufacturing hub,” said Michael McAdoo of the Boston Consulting Group. What’s more, much of the manufacturing work that does return to the United States would likely be done by robots in America’s increasingly automated plants, not by human workers. The deal — known by its acronym, USMCA — is meant to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump had long condemned the 24-year-old NAFTA as a killer of American jobs. He even banished its name once the new deal was struck.

NAFTA had erased most trade barriers separating the United States, Canada and Mexico. Trade among the three surged. But many U.S. manufacturers moved factories and jobs to Mexico to capitalize on cheaper labor. Those manufacturers could then ship cars and other goods back to the United States and Canada, duty-free. Trump demanded a new deal more favorable to American workers. Negotiations began in August 2017 and eventually produced USMCA. “These measures will many hundreds of thousands of American jobs,” Trump declared early last month. USMCA isn’t a done deal. It has yet to be signed by the leaders or ratified by the legislatures of the three countries. Some Democrats have expressed for the pact. But if their party regains control of the U.S. House in Tuesday’s elections, it’s far from clear that its leaders would want to hand Trump a victory. What’s more, Canadian and Mexican lawmakers might think twice about ratifying the deal unless Trump frees them from the import taxes he’s imposed on steel and aluminum in a separate dispute.

To qualify for duty-free benefits, USMCA requires carmakers to acquire 75 percent of auto content from within North America — up from 62.5 percent under NAFTA. That means more content would have to be homegrown in higher-wage North America, not imported more cheaply from elsewhere. At least 40 percent of vehicles would also have to originate in places where workers earn at least $16 an hour. That would likely benefit the United States or Canada — not Mexico, where auto assembly workers earn an average of just $7.34 an hour and parts workers $3.41 an hour. Gladys Cisneros of the AFL-CIO’s Solidarity Center, which advocates for unions, said she doubts the $16-an-hour wage requirement would do much for Mexican workers. “Not a single auto parts or auto assembly plant pays that much” in Mexico, Cisneros said. “You’re not going to get them ... to $16 anytime soon.” Tony Payan, director of the Mexico Center at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, noted that for years Mexican governments sought to keep wages low to give their country a competitive edge.

Charles Schwab executive talks financial literacy By Sarah Skidmore Sell THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz is an industry leader in financial literacy. A seasoned financial planner, she is senior vice president of Charles Schwab & Co., the company her father founded in 1971. SchwabPomerantz has advised two White House istrations and is the author of multiple personal finance books. Schwab-Pomerantz recently spoke to The Associated Press about financial literacy, gender parity and the importance of having a financial plan. The interview has been edited for clarity and length. Q: Financial literacy has been a part of your entire life. What made you so ionate about it? A: I’ve been working for Schwab since I

was 16. The company was basically a startup at that time. (My father) built the company on democratizing investing and creating more accessibility for everyday Americans. They say apples don’t fall far from Carrie Schwab- the tree, so I guess that my whole career has Pomerantz been about democratizing investing and making it more accessible for those not well-served by our industry. Growing up, my father — before Schwab — was a struggling businessman. He had several ventures that didn’t pan out. And when I was young my parents divorced. My mom was Stanford Phi Beta Kappa — my

parents met at Stanford — but she was definitely a woman of the time. And with my dad struggling and the divorce I think it had an impression on me about women’s financial empowerment. Women really (need) to be engaged in their finances and independent. I’ve been fortunate to learn about investing and saving at an early age and see the benefit of that. Q: You mentioned underserved populations, are there groups that should be taking better steps with their money, or who lack information? A: I have been working on this for 30plus years and along with my colleagues have created financial literacy programs for women, for inner city kids, for working poor over 50 — everyday Americans. And I’m talking to our clients from rich to poor. What I have concluded is that the lack of financial literacy cuts across Americans from all walks of life. It is blind to eco-

nomic status, gender and age. Our latest research found there was some positive news: women’s attitudes and aspirations are in the right place. Unfortunately, cultural habits and society still get in the way of women having economic parity and that is discouraging. Q: How can that change? A: I think it is one thing where we all need to come together. (Financial education) can be embedded in school curriculums. And in the public sector, the government has a bully pulpit. And nonprofits — we have a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club. I think together we can all start to make the change. The bottom line is a lot of these issues start at home— how we talk about money. The gender gap starts at early ages so we’ve got to be talking to daughters the same way as sons. Also, it’s about creating a culture that it is our personal responsibility to be engaged in our finances.

PALO ALTO — “Eye of the Tiger” should have been playing nonstop over the loudspeakers. Because the Central Coast Section Division IV championship showdown between Notre Dame-Belmont and Harker was an all-out brawl. The sweltering heat inside the gymnasium

at Gunn High School Saturday night had all the characteristics of a legendary prizefight, and after three sets of play the reigning Division IV champion Tigers seemed to be on the ropes. “In our heart, we all knew we wanted the win,” NDB sophomore Abby Miller said. “Rain, snow, we wanted the win.” In the end — after the five-set slugfest

Serra dethroned as WCAL champs St. Francis steamrolls way to title in regular-season finale By Nathan Mollat DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With the West Catholic Athletic League title on the line, St. Francis running back Opeti Fangupo fumbled the ball on the Lancers’ second play of the game in their showdown with Serra Saturday afternoon in San Mateo. The Lancers recovered. Serra didn’t. St. Francis took advantage of two short fields in the first half then poured it on over the final two quarters as the Lancers made a statement in a 42-7 win over the Padres. “They weren’t in a sharing mood,” Serra head coach

Patrick Walsh said regarding the possibility of a shared WCAL title. “It’s hard to go 7-0 in this league.” But that is precisely what St. Francis (7-0 WCAL, 9-1 overall) did. Using a punishing defense and a battering-ram style offense, the Lancers essentially did what they wanted. Serra (5-2, 6-4) couldn’t get anything going offensively and while the defense hung tough early, eventually it was also worn down. Serra finishes in third in the WCAL, a game behind second-place Valley Christian.

’Dogs cruise past Chabot; eye showdown with CCSF The College of San Mateo Bulldogs (4-0 Bay 6, 7-2 overall) remain in control of their own destiny in their third straight undefeated run through Bay 6 Conference play. With Saturday’s 31-17 win over Chabot (1-3, 5-4) in Hayward, the Bulldogs clinched at least a share of the Bay 6 title. They now look to their regular-season finale, a showdown with second-place City College of San Francisco. CSM rode a 17-point third quarter past the Gladiators. With the game tied 7-7 at halftime, the Bulldogs defense forced a threeand-out deep in Chabot territory to start the second half. Then on CSM’s first offensive play after the break, quarterback Kamalii Akina (St. Francis) connected with sophomore Elijah Harper (Weston RanchStockton) for a 35-yard scoring to take a 14-7 lead. After another three-and-out, highlighted by a stop of third-and-2 by freshman defensive back D.J. Taylor (Castro Valley), CSM struck again, marching 73 yards on 10 plays, with freshman running back Viko Ahoia (St. Francis) rushing for big gains of 13 and 27 yards. freshman Avery Runner (Kennedy-Sacramento) then scored on a 1yard run. Sophomore kicker Cesar Silva capped the third quarter with a 30-yard field goal.

ALAMEDA — The Raiders waived Bruce Irvin on Saturday after the team’s leading rusher had his playing time reduced significantly in recent weeks. Irvin played just nine snaps in a 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. He will be subject to waivers and will be owed about $3.8 million for the rest of the season if he isn’t claimed next week. “We would like to thank Bruce Irvin for his years of service to the Oakland Raiders and we wish him the best,” general manager Reggie McKenzie said. Oakland came into the year banking on Irvin and Khalil Mack to serve as bookend rushers anchoring the defense. Mack was traded a week before the season to Chicago for a package of draft picks following a lengthy contract holdout, and now Irvin is gone too. Irvin thanked the Raiders organization for his time in Oakland. “I will always cherish my experience with the Oakland Raiders,” he said on his Twitter

NDB Continued from page 11 played out like a montage from a “Rocky” movie — No.3-seed NDB (27-11 overall) went the distance to claim the championship victory 25-17, 21-25, 17-25, 25-22, 16-14 to earn its seventh all-time CCS crown in grueling fashion. “That was brutal,” NDB head coach Jen Agresti said as she walked off the court after her team accepted the CCS Division IV trophy. No. 4 Harker (17-11) looked determined to capture its first-ever CCS title, especially after dismantling the Tigers’ attack through games 2 and 3. The Eagles are renowned for their balanced offensive attack — five Harker players totaled over 100 kills this season — but it was the defense of junior Anya Gert and senior Karen Krause that kept NDB out of rhythm and unable to find its footing. NDB swung for a subpar .214 hitting percentage throughout the match, a figure that paled due to hitting just .075 in each the second and third sets. Miller saw the worst of it, hitting just .063 in Game 2 and not much better in Game 3 at .091. “I feel my offense fluctuated a bit,” Miller said. “There were times I got into my head a lot … but when I got low, the team just did a great job of picking me up.” And the sophomore outside hitter answered with a powerhouse showing through the final two sets. While Harker was winning the day with technical savvy, Miller and the Tigers turned the match into an all-out brawl, using physicality and strength to plow

NDB had to earn it through a back-and-forth Game 4, though, a set that was tied at 15 different junctures, and as late as 22-22. Then NDB’s big cats stepped up. Senior outside hitter Kendall Peters — who recorded a doubledouble with 16 kills and 16 digs — scored off the left side by cutting the sideline, giving the Tigers a 2322 advantage. Miller followed by hammering consecutive kills off the left side en route to a matchhigh 18 kills to even up the match 2 sets apiece. “As a team, we know we can do it,” Miller said of changing the tide. “We’ve done it in the past. Overall — our energy, our skill level — we just changed it.” Oh, but the best was yet to come. Game 5 started with the Tigers absorbing a roundhouse. Not only did an NDB player return to the court late from a bathroom break — costing her team the first point of the race to 15 — Harker followed with a

block from junior Lauren Beede, then NDB was called for a double , to give the Eagles an early 3-0 lead. NDB responded by throwing some bombs of its own, with Miller getting her team on the board by firing a kill off the right side to start the Tigers on a 6-1 run; an ace by senior Vanessa Pan made it 3-2, a block by junior Casey Chamberlain made it 4-3, a clutch dig by Pan set up a Peters kill to tie it 4-4, and the same formula of Pan digging from the back row extended a rally for Peters to tool the block to give NDB the upper hand at 5-4. The Tigers defense kept delivering, absorbing Harker’s varied swings like the great students of the game they are. “The challenge is trying to predict where the setter is going with the ball,” Pan said. “So, it’s really hard. … We definitely read the ball well. We were able to get there defensively.” Senior libero Delaney Walsh totaled a match-high 18 digs, and was integral through the fifth set,

though the stars down the stretch were junior setter Rachel Liu with 10 match digs and Pan — the latter totaled nine digs after missing NDB’s CCS semifinal win over Harbor-Santa Cruz due to a concussion — with spectacular back-row play. “[Pan], she hasn’t played … so she’s not as quick as she was,” Agresti said. “But she had some amazing moments that really saved us. So, I’m glad to have her back on the court.” Nothing came easy for the Tigers though, even after Miller slammed her final kill to force championship point at 14-9. The five match points in NDB’s pocket wouldn’t be enough though, as Harker went on a 5-0 run, including two kills by Beede, who shared the team-high of 13 kills with junior Ashley Jazbec. “We thought we had it in the bag,” Pan said. “So, we let off the gas a little.” Facing extra-points, the Tigers forced a critical side-out when sophomore Kelly Schackel — who totaled 11 kills while leading all

NDB attackers with a .381 hitting percentage — unloaded from the right side to force a sixth championship point. And this time the Tigers did not disappoint, scoring the knockout blow with the most exciting play in volleyball, as sophomore Miranda Chan closed the seam through the middle to score the championship block, with the put-back rattling around the Harker side before falling to the floor to give NDB the title. “That was really a dream,” Chan said. “I was really, really excited. It really got my heart racing.” As for the celebration to follow? “It’s all a blur,” Chan said. Not for Agresti, though, as the seventh-year coach navigated the grueling match like the expert cornerman she is. She said her lineup changes, in an attempt to gain an advantage, shifted from a 6-2, to a 5-2, to a 5-1, then back to a 6-2 and a 5-2 to finish off the victory. Senior setter Krissy Smoot was credited with 31 assists, and Liu with 25. “It was all about focusing on the ,” Agresti said. “… The kids, though, pulled it out by the skin of their teeth.” The victory has a big impact on the CIF State Volleyball Championships. With the state brackets determined by overall ranking — not like the CCS brackets, which are determined by school size — NDB earns the No. 16 and final seed in the CIF Division I bracket. Harker falls to the Division II bracket as the No. 9 seed. The Tigers open CIF play Tuesday, traveling to No. 1 Foothill-Pleasanton for a 7 p.m. start.

DONS

CIF volleyball State tournament brackets announced

Continued from page 11 three times since — including in the past two seasons — they had not returned to the big dance. Until Saturday. It was fitting setter Della Trimble was the star of the show. The senior not only totaled 31 assists, she was a force through every rotation, matching junior defensive specialist Megan Shen with 13 digs, and also racking up five kills and seven blocks. “She’s awesome,” Stiles said. “We love having her in the front row.” When Stiles manned outside hitter for Aragon in 2002, it was Trimble’s mother Annette — now coach of the junior-varsity Dons — who was the varsity head coach, when the newlyborn Trimble was just a baby. Now, as Aragon history comes full circle, Trimble as the team captain put forth the most dynamic performance of her career in the CCS finale, especially in limiting No. 3 Mountain View’s attack. Of Aragon’s nine team blocks, Trimble paired with sophomore middle Ella Sears on a majority of them. Sears was in on five blocks, while junior middle Maddie Campbell added three. “I haven’t been blocking, ” Trimble said. “But this game was my best blocking game I’ve had all season. It was great.” The Dons ran a three-pronged attack to command early leads in each of the opening two sets.

Division I Three San Mateo County teams qualified for the Division I bracket, none of which host openinground matches. The 16-team field from Northern California includes No. 13 Menlo-Atherton traveling to No. 4 Amador Valley, No. 14 Menlo going to No.3 Campolindo and No. 16 Notre Dame-Belmont heading to topseed Foothill. All CIF matches are Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Left: Aragon celebrates its first-ever CCS volleyball championship. Right: Aragon’s Amanda Patea on the attack Saturday at Gunn. Outside hitters Lydia Manu and Amanda Patea shared the match-high with 10 kills apiece, while Sears worked the middle for six kills. “I think we settled in from the opening serve,” Sears said. “… It usually takes us a while to get into a groove. We all just got into it from the beginning.” Patea ruled Game 1, going for six kills in the set, including the final two points. She tooled the block off the left side for each, converting a long cross-court set by Trimble to finish it off. Mountain View (26-10) contended early in Game 2, getting four set kills from senior middle Reyhaneh Turner, trading points to push the action to a 7-7 tie. Then the Dons got a momentum charge from a Sears block through the middle, setting off an 11-1 run. Up 18-8, Aragon walked it home

from there, finishing the job after Manu forced set point with a roll shot, before the junior slammed home the closer off the left side. Game 3 saw Aragon overcome an early 3-0 deficit. The Dons tied it up at 8-8 and barbed with Mountain View for ties at six different junctures. Then, deadlocked at 16-16, Aragon seized control from the service line. Freshman defensive specialist Gabriella Oaks aced a serve to give the Dons a 17-16 to set off a 40 run, featuring Trimble dumping a quick shot over middle, Oaks serving another ace, and Manu riding the sideline off the left pin for a kill. Shen later scored back-to-back aces to force championship point at 24-17. Then after a three-point run by Mountain View, Sears scored the historic kill to give Aragon its first-ever CCS crown. “Performance wise, I thought

Division II this was one of our top games,” Sears said. “Everyone connected really well.” In three wins to advance through the Division II bracket, Aragon dropped just one set. After a firstround bye, the Dons swept past No. 9 Pioneer-San Jose in the quarterfinals. They then dropped the opening set in the semifinals to No. 5 Presentation-San Jose before bouncing back to win the next three. “We started the No. 1 seed, which was a lot of promise, and we just carried it,” Stiles said. Many of the Dons rushed off after accepting the Division II trophy — hoisted in the air in unison by Trimble and Manu — to attend Aragon’s homecoming dance. It was a festive night indeed as all the Lady Dons senior volleyballers arrived at the dance as queens of the CCS. “I’m so excited,” Trimble said.

NFL brief Brady, Patriots beat Rodgers, Packers FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers spent the week telling anyone who asked that the other guy was the better quarterback. In the second matchup between the future Hall of Famers, it was the one with five Super Bowl rings who walked off the field with the victory. Brady threw for 294 yards and a touchdown, and James White ran for two scores to lead the New England Patriots to a 3117 victory over Rodgers and the Green Bay Tom Brady Packers on Sunday night. It was the sixth straight victory for the Patriots (7-2). “We made some plays in the fourth quarter when we needed to,” Brady said. “Anytime you beat a good football team it feels good. So, 7-2 is a long ways from 1-2 where we were.” Rodgers completed 24 of 43 es and two touchdowns but failed to rally his team after tying the game in the third quarter. Rodgers won the first matchup with Brady at Lambeau Field in 2014. “If you play long enough, and you have the sustained greatness that Tom has had, there’s going to be a lot of records,” Rodgers said. “He’s been the gold standard at quarterback for two decades.”

SERRA Continued from page 11 Serra, which has built its reputation on its ground attack, was held to just 69 yards rushing, the fifth time this season the Padres were held under 100 yards. The ing game wasn’t much better, as three quarterbacks combined to go 15 for 25 for 95 yards. The Padres’ 164 yards of offense was a season low. “[St. Francis is] the total defense,” Walsh said. “We couldn’t find a rhythm at all.” Sixty-five of those yards came on Serra’s only scoring play of the game late in the second quarter. The St. Francis offense wasn’t much better in the first half as the Padres’ defense was on point for about a quarter-and-half as the Lancers managed just 80 yards of offense at halftime. But a St. Francis scoring drive late in the second quarter swung the momentum into the Lancers’ huddle at halftime. Serra had just cut the St. Francis lead to 14-7 with a touchdown with 1:26 left in the half. St. Francis started its ensuing drive on its own 41. After a defensive interference penalty on the first play of the drive moved the ball into Serra territory, the Lancers decided to go for it. A personal foul penalty against the Padres kept the drive alive and the Lancers capitalized when quarterback Ryan Daly hit Michael Leahy for a 10-yard score and a 21-7 halftime lead for St.

Francis. “A killer,” Walsh said of the late touchdown. It was a pair of turnovers deep in their own territory that had the Padres playing catchup. The first came on the first play of Serra’s second drive as a completed was coughed up and recovered by the Lancers at the Serra 35-yard line. The Padres defense was stout, but could not stop the inevitable. Serra had a chance to end the St. Francis drive as the Lancers lined up to go for it on fourth-and-5 at the Padres’ 30. But Serra jumped offsides, St. Francis got a first down and the Lancers proceeded to go 35 yards on 11 plays, capped by a Fangupo 1-yard plunge. “Against great teams, five yards matter,” Walsh said. The two teams then exchanged punts early in the second quarter, but the Serra return man muffed the catch with St. Francis recovering at the Padres’ 23-yard line. Like the first Padre turnover, the Lancers made them pay when Daly found Evan Williams for a 7yard touchdown on a fade pattern — one the Serra coaches was screaming at his defense it was coming. After that second St. Francis score, the Serra offense finally came alive. Starting its next possession on its own 35, the Padres moved 65 yards on eight plays, with quarterback Luke Bottari hitting Malakai Rango for an 18-yard scoring . Even that drive wasn’t easy, however, as the Padres needed a trick play to keep the drive alive around midfield. Facing fourthand-1, E.J. Lahlouh took a handoff and

looked to be prepared to drive into the middle of the line. Instead, he pulled up short of the line of scrimmage and lofted a jump over the mass of humanity and found Cory Endo, who cradled the ball to his chest and picked up 12 yards for a first down. Two plays later, the Padres were aided by a personal foul penalty against St. Francis to move into the red zone before Bottari found Rango for the score. But St. Francis’ last-minute score before halftime gave the Lancers momentum going into halftime and they capitalized on it early in the third with a pair of long touchdown es to all but put the game away. St. Francis took the second-half kickoff and needed just five plays to hit pay dirt. On a third-and-5 from his own 37, Daly dropped back and found Williams on a simple go route. Williams hauled it and ran away from the Serra defense, going 63-yards for a 28-7 lead less than three minutes into the third. Daly and Williams were at it again on their next drive, one that needed just three plays to cover 74 yards. On third-and-4 at the his own 30, Daly, once again, found a wide open Williams who raced the rest of the way for a 70-yard strike and a 35-7 St. Francis advantage. Daly would finish the day an efficient 9for-13 ing, with 209 yards and four touchdown es. Williams finished with three catches for 140 yards and three scores. An 8-yard run from Andre Bishop less than three minutes into the fourth quarter gave the Lancers the point differential necessary to start a running clock for the rest of the game.

IRVIN

allowed opponents to have a 113.9 er rating, a mark that only one team ever has been worse than over a full season. Irvin played just 24 snaps in Week 8 against Indianapolis and then just nine against the 49ers. Irvin’s six games with his fewest snap counts since ing the Raiders in 2016 have come this year. Irvin had one tackle, no sacks and no pressures his final three games. Coach Jon Gruden attributed the lack of playing time to Irvin not being part of the base defense against the 49ers. “We weren’t in our nickel defense very much, ” Gruden said Friday. “ we’re a 4-3 team, we’re not a 3-4. So in the base defense, sometimes he doesn’t fit the role that we need done. No disrespect to Bruce. He’s an edge rusher. We haven’t had a lead. We haven’t had the opposition behind in the chains a lot. So his role has been reduced. I know he’s frustrated. I’m frustrated. We’ll try to solve that as soon as possible. He’s a good player. He’s a good player.” Irvin was on the field for just seven of the team’s 23 snaps in nickel formation with his other two plays coming in goal-line defense.

Continued from page 13 feed. “As the seasons change, so do our roles and I look forward to continuing my journey with the NFL!” The Raiders (1-7) rank last in the NFL with just seven sacks and have a league-worst 35 quarterback pressures, according to SportRadar. The next worst team is Tennessee with 59. The 31-year-old Irvin has three of the sacks and five of the pressures but has had little impact on a defense that is on pace to be one of the worst ever. Irvin has just six tackles despite an $8 million salary. Oakland is allowing 6.76 yards per play, the worst by any team through eight games since the 1970 merger. The Raiders have allowed the second-most points as a franchise through eight games (252), are tied for the second-fewest takeaways (six) and have the fewest sacks (seven). Oakland also has

With big debut, ‘Bohemian It always seems inevitable Rhapsody’ is not a poor boy I By Jake Coyle

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” and 20th Century Fox are — for now, at least — champions of the world. “Bohemian Rhapsody, ” starring Rami Malek as the late Queen frontman, shrugged off production troubles and mediocre reviews to debut with $50 million in weekend ticket sales in U.S. and Canada, and another $72. 5 million internationally, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was well beyond expectations, which had pegged the film closer to $35-40 million in its opening weekend. But audiences rushed to theaters to see the widely praised performance by Malek, the “Mr. Robot” star, and to hear Queen’s footstomping anthems like “We are the Champions,” ‘’Another One Bites the Dust” and the operatic title song. The movie, which Bryan Singer directed before being replaced by Dexter Fletcher, at times has an almost concert-like feel, including a lengthy re-creation of the band’s 1985 Live Aid performance. “It really is a celebration of Queen and their music, and I think we did a really good job of letting people know that that’s what this is,” said Chris Aronson, distribution chief for Fox. In soaring to No. 1, the Fox release trounced one from Disney, which will soon own the studio. Despite a production budget of $125 million, the Walt Disney Co.’s lavish, big-budget “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” opened with just $20 million. Disney is set to merge with Fox in the coming months, effectively ending the 103year-old Fox, one of Hollywood’s six major studios. “We were hoping for a stronger start, but we do think it’s a film that people will find

as we head into the holidays,” said Cathleen Taff, head of theatrical distribution for Disney. Though Disney’s record of success is the envy of Hollywood, “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” marks the stuRemi Malek dio’s third misfire this year following the underperforming “A Wrinkle in Time” and “Solo.” The studio’s CGI-stuffed resurrection of E.T.A. Hoffmann story was positioned as an early holiday season release, but flopped with critics (34 percent “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes) and sparked only modest interest from audiences. It grossed $38.5 million overseas. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” made for $52 million, was largely dismissed by critics as an overly conventional rock biopic (60 percent “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes). But the film proved more popular with moviegoers, who gave the PG-13 release, produced by Graham King, an A CinemaScore and 4 1/2 stars out of five on Comscore’s PostTrak audience survey. “Even in the negativity that came out of critics, there was always a ‘but,’ almost universally: ‘But Rami is great, ’” noted Aronson. “I’m very happy for Graham and Rami and the entire filmmaking team. And I’m happy for the home team. This is a big win for Fox.” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore, praised Fox’s rollout of the film as “pitch perfect.” Dergarabedian also cited Malek’s breakout big-screen performance and the sustained interest in all things musical at the box office. Musically based films have lately been major draws in theaters, from Fox’s own “The Greatest Showman” earlier in the year to Warner Bros.’ Oscar favorite “A Star Is Born.”

nevitable. When you spend your day at an animal shelter, falling in love is inevitable. Frequently, in fact. As one result, I often live with more animals than most people would think reasonable. Also inevitable, everyone dies, and not living long enough is one of our companion animals’ few faults. I always try to rationalize it like this: short lifespans, I figure, means I get to know a whole lot more dogs and cats than I would if they stuck around for 70 or 80 years. Like most rationalizations, that works for a bit and then fades. We love them, they die and we mourn.  Despite that sometimes too full household, a combination of bad luck and bad timing and several years of caring for a bunch of aging, ailing animals, my family is down to one cat, Stinky Louise (who suffers a chronic although pain-free condition, and has outlived all predictions). But strike that “is down to one.” Now it’s “was down to one.” Please allow me to introduce you to Lola, the happy new addition to my family. 

One of six, a litter born in a carefully selected but unusual setting: a cave formed underneath a pile of utility poles at an East Palo Alto PG&E substation. PHS officers rescued the pups, eyes still closed and not much bigger than hamsters, and finally coaxed a frightened Chihuahua mother into their arms a few days later. She gladly took her babies back from the human foster parents and has been a wonderful parent. Over the weeks in our care, the originally extremely frightened mom has learned to trust us, and we know she has her own forever family coming soon (after spaying, of course!). Our dogs have ranged from 9 to 120 pounds. We’ve adopted a 14-year-old, and the youngest was born in our living room. A coworker recently pointed out that we don’t have a “type”, although this time around we had decided no puppy and no Chihuahua. What can I say? We know better than to listen to ourselves: Lola is a 7week-old Chihuahua-mix (perhaps poodle, maybe Bichon). Holding her feels like slipping into a sweet dream. Inevitable.   Ken White is the president of the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA

Country sees high number of Native American candidates THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Deb Haaland is not the first Native American woman to run for Congress, but she could be one of the first elected Tuesday. More than 100 Native Americans are seeking seats in Congress, governor’s offices, state legislatures and other posts across the country in what political observers say has been a record number of candidates. The uptick comes amid the #MeToo movement and as President Donald

JUDGE Continued from page 1 the traffic and small claims court. When he steps into the role of presiding judge, he said he will be focused on coordinating with the master calendaring department to set the court’s trial schedule. Karesh said cuts to the court’s budget in the last five or six years have been one of biggest challenges facing judges recently, noting many of the court’s services have been consolidated at the Redwood City courthouse in recent years after the San Mateo courthouse was closed and services were reduced at the South San Francisco courthouse. But he was optimistic about the restoration of funds in this year’s budget, a change that will allow the clerk’s office hours to be extended as well as additional hearings to be held at the South San Francisco courthouse.  Because the court serves county residents living as far north as Daly City

HEALTH Continued from page 1 have an opportunity not to be a silver bullet, but be one of the silver buckshot that we are going to have to use to fix this problem,” he said. Brownrigg, who has said previously he cannot see the project getting approved without affordable housing, and his colleagues on the Burlingame City Council will hold ultimate authority on allowing the project to be constructed. Brownrigg and Goethals followed letters sent by U. S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, who also advocated for affordable housing development. Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto, in conjunction with the Public Interest Law Project and the Housing Leadership Council, sent a

Trump’s istration has taken stances that many tribes say are attacks on their status as sovereign nations. “The Native folks on the ballot are getting lots of , and I think that speaks volumes for our country,” said Haaland, a member of Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico. Mark Trahant, editor of Indian Country Today, has been tracking the names largely through crowdsourcing. On Election Day, he will co-host a program focusing on the Native

American candidates that will be broadcast online, and on television and radio. “It’s needed because nobody’s ever done it before,” said Trahant, of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe in Idaho. Native Americans make up about 2 percent of the U.S. population but often are underrepresented in political office. Congress has two Republican representatives: Markwayne Mullin, Cherokee, and Tom Cole, Chickasaw, from Oklahoma. Both are seeking reelection.

and along the coast, the consolidation of services in Redwood City can be burdensome for some with pending cases as well as jurors, said Karesh, who expected the additional funds to go a long way toward better serving the public.  “This fiscal year is the first year we started to have new money coming in,” he said. “That’s really been great, to see how we can use those resources.”  With 27 judges, Karesh noted the number of courtrooms in the San Mateo County Superior Court is fairly limited and at times does not keep pace with the number of jury trials ready to start.  “It’s very frustrating sometimes when you have to tell two lawyers that are ready to go to trial that we don’t have courtrooms available,” he said.  Though the uptick in funding is not likely to bring the number of judicial officers in the Superior Court back up to where it was before the budget cuts, Karesh said the restoration of some funds will allow the court to hire another court commissioner. Because

commissioners can hear misdemeanor assignments and help with the traffic and small claims cases, Karesh expected the increase in the number of commissioners from three to four to ease the caseload for judges and free up their schedules to hear trials.  He also noted that with the appointment of Susan Jakubowski, who previously served as a court commissioner, to the county’s bench in July, another judge’s seat opened up in the county, a seat that has remained open until Gov. Jerry Brown appointed Amarra Lee, who previously served as a San Mateo County deputy district attorney, to fill the vacancy in late October.  Though he acknowledged judges and court employees have had to work with fewer resources in recent years, Karesh said one of the things he enjoys most about being a judge is the opportunity to hear and weigh complex cases that can have a significant impact on the lives of those who seek justice in San Mateo County courtrooms.  “You really get a chance to do justice and have a positive influence on people’s lives in a lot of different ways,” he said. 

letter pushing for a similar outcome as well. “The Peninsula Health Care District, as a local government agency, must honor its legal responsibilities to use its public land for public good,” said the letter sent earlier this month. Cappel noted the district was planning to include some affordable units for seniors in the development, alongside a variety of care services accommodating an aging population. But with local housing prices and rents untenable for so many and the generation of new jobs at the site, affordable housing advocates believe workforce or other below-market units should be provided to lessen the general affordability crunch. Meanwhile, Cappel noted the project is still in its formative stages and suggested it is at least five years away from breaking ground. Over that time, officials will continue discussing the opportunities available at the site. He said health care district officials

will also examine chances to build affordable units elsewhere, suggesting he would be open to a partnership with a builder specializing in such projects. “To me it comes down to — are we going to put it here? Or are we going to do something else that might have housing somewhere else?, ” said Cappel, noting the district has not identified other surplus property which could host such a project. Cappel said health care district officials will remain committed to discussing the issue and attempting to address the concerns raised, adding another community meeting discussing affordable housing is on the horizon. In the meantime, he said officials will continue looking at the variety of opportunities as they attempt to heed the community’s call while also developing a project serving the district’s best interests. “All options are still open. No door has been closed at this point,” he said.

LOCAL Battle for US House seats includes one-time GOP stronghold

PRICES

IRVINE — By bus, by freeway or on foot, candidates dashed across California on Saturday in a frantic rush to secure votes, knocking on doors, dialing phones and urging throngs of volunteers to fight for every vote. Nowhere were the stakes higher than in Southern California’s Orange County, a one-time Republican stronghold where Democrats are trying to claim as many as four GOP-held House seats. Those districts figure prominently in the party’s national

Continued from page 1 median sales price in September floated near $1.6 million, roughly at the level where it has sat all year. CoreLogic, which draws from a different method for assessing sales data, suggests the area’s median sales price is closer to $1.5 million, while online housing website Zillow claims the median sales price is $1.3 million. Regardless of the process for determining the exact median sales price, the outcome is largely the same — housing prices are not escalating at the same rate they have over recent years. For perspective, the median sales price in September has grown by about $125,000 since at least 2015, when the median home sales price was floating around $1.2 million, according to SAMCAR data. Expanding the scope to the entire Bay Area, LePage said the median home sales price in September dipped to $815,000, down 1.8 percent from the month prior and up 9 percent from September last year. For the previous nine months, the yearover-year price gains averaged about 13 percent. So September’s growth was less significant than the market’s trend for most of the year, he said. September also featured 5,970 home sales across the Bay Area, the fewest transactions in that month since 2007, when 5,014 homes were sold, according to CoreLogic. Last year, 7, 358 sales occurred in September. “The main takeaway for September data is that sales slowed very significantly, ” LePage said. He suggested shoppers are becoming more selective in their approach to buying homes, which could result in the decreased transaction rates and sales price stagnation. “If this continues, buyers will have more to choose from and less urgency,” he said. But he countered that perspective by not-

ing that the market continues to be exceptionally expensive and starved for available stock. “We would expect price appreciation to moderate. But however, at the moment, the market in a historical context is still tight,” he said. The even bigger threat to home buyers though is mortgage rates, said LePage, as costs are increasing and making it even more difficult for those interested to enter the market. “If mortgage rates continue to rise, that makes it tough because it makes it harder and harder to qualify,” he said, noting rates are up almost 1 percent this year. LePage was reticent to prognosticate whether the rate trends would continue over the coming year, noting the traditional volatility shown in the industry. Mortgage rates aside though, LePage said the writing on the wall is encouraging for those who, for an extended period of time, may have felt that there is no hope that the market would turn. Time will tell whether those trends continue, he noted, while suggesting prices could be calming. “It is certainly possible that price growth continues to weaken,” he said.

Most of leading migrant caravan heads for Mexico City By Sonia Perez D. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISLA, Mexico — Thousands of bone-tired Central Americans set their sights on Mexico City on Sunday, after undertaking a grueling journey through a part of Mexico that has been particularly treacherous for migrants seeking to get to the United States. The majority of the roughly 4, 000

migrants streamed into the town of Cordoba in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, a gateway to the central part of the country 124 miles from their previous stop. The day’s trek was one of the longest yet, as the exhausted migrants tried to make progress walking and hitching rides toward the U.S. border still hundreds of miles away. It is unclear what part of the U.S. border they will aim for eventually, but their latest overnight stay in Veracruz could be one of

their last before they head to Mexico City, a potential launching spot for a broader array of destinations. In the capital, they may also receive additional , although Mexican officials have appeared conflicted over whether to help or hinder their journey. Manuel Calderon, 43, a migrant from El Salvador, knew many miles lay ahead and said he wanted to “speed up the pace.” He said he was fleeing violence in his home country and had dreams of making it back to the U.S., from which he was deported a little more than two years ago. On the road, he was greeted by ordinary Mexicans lending a hand. Catalina Munoz said she bought tortillas on credit to assemble tacos of beans, cheese and rice when she heard the migrant caravan would through Benemerito Juarez, her tiny town of 3,000 inhabitants. She gathered 15 others to help make the tacos, fill water bottles and carry fruit to weary travelers on the roadside. As migrants began filing into a sports complex in Cordoba, others had already hopped freight trucks to Puebla and even Mexico City. A few arrived at a large outdoor stadium in the capital and lounged on bleachers a day after divisions beset the ranks of the caravan over which route to take. Some were disappointed after organizers unsuccessfully pleaded for buses after three weeks on the road. Others were angry for being directed northward through Veracruz, calling it the “route of death.” The trek past the state’s sugar fields and fruit groves has taken the majority through a state where hundreds of migrants have disappeared in recent years, falling prey to kidnappers looking for ransom payments. Authorities there said in September they had discovered remains from at least 174 people buried in clandestine graves, raising questions about whether the bodies belonged to migrants.

Migrants, part of a caravan traveling from Central America en route to the United States, walk by the road that links Metapa with Tapachula, Mexico. But even with the group somewhat more scattered, most of the migrants were convinced that traveling as a large mass was their best hope for reaching the U.S. The migrants generally say they are fleeing rampant poverty, gang violence and political instability primarily in the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. “We think that it is better to continue together with the caravan. We are going to stay with it and respect the organizers,” said Luis Euseda, a 32-year-old from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, traveling with his wife, Jessica Fugon. “Others went ahead, maybe they have no goal, but we do have a goal and it is to arrive.” Mynor Chavez, a 19-year-old from Copan, Honduras, was determined to continue. “I have no prospects (in Honduras). I graduated as a computer technician and not even with a degree have I been able to find work,” he said of his home country.
