Construction rules tightened

Burlingame building activity prohibited on Sundays, holidays and must start later on weekdays
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The rise in home building

throughout
Burlingame
has
brought on more complaints from
residents frustrated with the daily
drone of construction noise, said
city officials, compelling the
council to tighten restrictions on

when work is allowed.

Construction projects which
require a permit from the city will
no longer be authorized on
Sundays or federal holidays, under
a unanimous decision by the City
Council, and work may not begin
on a weekday until 8 a.m., an hour
later than previously allowed,
according to video of the Tuesday,

July 5, meeting.
Officials agreed such a policy
amendment was necessary to grant
residents some respite from the
noise and nuisance which can
come along with living near a
work site.
Mayor Ann Keighran, who
requested the issue be brought
before the council, indicated she

felt the update was overdue, as residents have long expressed frustrations to her that building was
allowed every day, and so early in
the morning.
I have been hearing these
issues for a few years now, so Im
at the point where we really need
to do something, she said.
Councilwoman Donna Colson

said the issue has become a severe

point of contention throughout
the community, as many residents
feel they cannot enjoy their days
off of work at home with their
families while inundated with construction noise.

South City school building plan proceeds

Timeline offered for existing work, but uncertainty about final round of building

South San Francisco school officials have

not account for completing the final leg of
proposed projects.
South San Francisco Unified School
District officials plan to spend from a $13.5
million construction budget to complete
work at Buri Buri Elementary and Parkway
Middle schools over the coming two years,
according to a district report.
But still reeling from discovering officials had overspent the $162 million bond
to the tune of $11 million, no clear vision
remains for how the district plans to carry
out the third and final leg of promised work.
Citing shoddy craftsmanship and multiple

But there will be no building as promised
this summer on the campuses of Martin, Los
Cerritos and Sunshine Gardens elementary
schools, while officials search for ways to
finance the entire final phase of proposed
work, according to an email from district
spokesman Ryan Sebers.
Next steps will be to begin the process
of planning and assembling the team for
construction. However, there will be no
construction on the Martin campus this
summer, he said. As for Los Cerritos and
Sunshine Gardens, there are no plans this
summer to do any construction. The district
is assessing the budget and will make determinations for both sites in the future; but
currently, there are no plans for any construction.

facilities. But a spending shortfall discovered by a independent auditor stalled the
building plan, and left district officials
scrambling to readjust their vision.
The financial situation, which was blamed
largely in the audit on former bond director
Larry Scott, still resonates through the district. Officials recently passed a budget with
projected deficit in coming years, due in
part to transferring $11 million to account
for the construction spending gap.
Despite the gloomy district financial
forecast and tormented history of the bond,
officials have offered the community some
clarity regarding when to expect the existing construction work will be finished.
Under a recently proposed timeline, an
ongoing phase of construction at Parkway
Heights Middle School and a pending following round of building to modernize
classrooms should be completed by the end
of next year.

Letter by retired judges

address efforts to remove judge

judges speaks out against
efforts to remove a current judge over his sentence for an ex-Stanford

last month.

Court
Judge Aaron
Persky for sentencing 20-year-old Brock
Turner on June 2 to six months in county
jail for three counts of sexual assault on an
unconscious woman who drank excessively
during a fraternity party at the school in
January 2015.
We acknowledge and respect the deeply
held views of those who disagree with Judge
Perskys sentencing decision in the Turner
case, the letter states.
At the same time, the full record in the
case shows that Judge Persky made his decision after considering all the evidence presented at trial, the statements of the victim
and the defendant, and a detailed report from
an experienced probation officer, according to the letter.
Eighteen retired judges signed the letter,
which states that the group isnt taking a
side on whether or not the sentence was
appropriate.
The letter goes on to say that judicial
independence would be threatened if Persky
were removed from his position.
The case has also led to proposed
Assembly Bill 2888, passed last week by
the state Senate Public Safety Committee,
that would require a minimum three-year
sentence in state prison for those convicted
of rape on unconscious victims, which
would change current law allowing judges to
impose probation on such defendants.

The baby was mostly unharmed and suffered just a small cut to the head. The

He had to be sedated at the hospital

Belmont tackles in-law units

Planning Commission continues update to home remodel rules
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Belmont planners will consider outlining

new rules for homeowners looking to create
secondary units as officials continue to
update the citys regulations on home remodels.
Controversial amendments to the citys
Zoning and Tree ordinances proceed Thursday
as the Planning Commission tackles in-law
units.
Secondary units are regulated by state laws,
which must guide the types of parameters
Belmont imposes on construction of living
quarters on owner-occupied sites, according
to a city staff report.
The proposed changes include adjusting
the maximum size of secondary units from
1,200 square feet down to 1,000 square feet,
but allowing them to be up to 40 percent of
the main homes size instead of just 30 percent. The current two-bedroom cap would
remain, and construction must include an
additional parking spot so long as no more
than four spaces are required for the entire
property.
One proposal that could alleviate some
restrictions would be to reduce the circumstances during which a property would have
to apply for a conditional use permit.
Currently, property owners with lots
smaller than 8,000 square feet who want to
build a secondary unit larger than 640 square
feet must receive a special permit. The proposed rules would only require people with
lots smaller than 5,000 square feet to receive
a conditional use permit, according to the
report.
Another change being considered is what
type of review process an applicant must
undergo with the city. State laws that went
into effect in 2003 urge the least burdensome
restrictions on secondary units since they
could provide a critical source of affordable
housing. For example, state officials note
most applications should undergo a ministerial review or be allowed by right

instead of a hearing. Currently, only units

smaller than 400 square feet are approved
ministerially and Belmonts proposed
amendments include having staff review
smaller secondary-unit additions as part of its
new Single-Family Design Review guidelines.
While proponents have touted updates to
the amendments as an important way to alleviate some subjective restrictions for those
seeking to remodel and accommodate growing families, its unclear whether secondary
units would become more popular. Based on
the number of people who applied for secondary units between 2007 and 2014, the
city estimates about two in-law units may be
constructed per year over the next eight
years.
The commission will host a hearing on the
proposed secondary unit regulations before
making a recommendation to the council,
which will also take public comment before
making a final say on whether to approve
changes.
In total, the Zoning and Tree ordinance
amendments cover a range of topics that
affect how property owners build new or
remodel existing homes. Concerns over the
changes to maximum home sizes, design criteria, parking requirements and more prompted a citizens referendum that led the council
to withdraw changes it made last year.
City officials have since broken the
amendments into categories, conducted more
public outreach and proceeded with updates to
the design guidelines and parking requirements.
Perhaps one of the most controversial regulations that has opponents fearing
McMansions and how big homes should be
in Belmont. Home size maximums are next
in line for consideration, followed by tree
regulations.
The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m.
Thursday, July 9, at City Hall, 1a Twin Pines
Lane. Visit Belmont.gov for more information.

Court orders the release

of detained immigrant
children but not parents
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals

court ruled Wednesday that Homeland
Security officials must quickly release
immigrant children but not their parents
from family detention centers after being
picked up crossing the border without documentation.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit U.S.
Court of Appeals said that lengthy detentions of migrant children violated a 19-yearold legal settlement ordering their quick
release after processing. Government
lawyers had argued that the settlement covered only immigrant children who crossed
the border unaccompanied by adult relatives. But the three-judge panel ruled that
immigration officials arent required to
release the parents detained along with the
children, reversing U. S. District Judge
Dolly Gees ruling last year.
Advocates seeking stricter immigration
controls said they hoped the ruling would
discourage adults crossing the border illegally from exploiting children as a way to
stay out of custody in the United States.
Mark Krikorian, Center for Immigration
Studies executive director and an advocate
for stricter border controls, said allowing
the parents to be released may have encouraged illegal immigration of adults traveling
with children.
It makes using children way less attractive, he said of the most recent ruling.
The Department of Homeland reported
that more than 23,000 families have been
apprehended in the first five months of the
year compared to about 13,400 in 2015 and

around 30,600 in 2014. Most are from

Honduras, El Salvador or Guatemala.
Melissa Crow, legal director of the
American Immigration Council, said she
was somewhat disappointed with the ruling because the goal of the litigation was to
shield the children from unfair and inhumane treatment. Separating children and
parents still treats the children unfairly.
The court misses the point, Crow said.
Since Gees ruling, immigration officials
have released hundreds of families and have
been holding newly arriving families for
only short durations. Following that earlier
ruling, the number of immigrant families
has again been on the rise.
At issue are two detention centers in Texas
that were built after a flood of immigrants in
summer 2014 overwhelmed border authorities. The government poured millions of
dollars into the two large detention centers
after tens of thousands of immigrant families, mostly mothers with children from
Central America, crossed the Rio Grande
into the U.S. that year. Many have petitioned for asylum after fleeing gang and
domestic violence back home.
A Homeland Security official told a group
of immigration advocates in September
2014 that the jails were opened in part
because roughly 70 percent of immigrant
families released after being caught at the
border didnt report to immigration authorities as ordered.
Critics of the jails complained that they
were not suited for children and later went
to federal court to argue that the government was violating a decades old agreement
about how immigrant children would be
treated.

Californians excel in final month

of statewide water-saving cuts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californians beat a

water-savings target in the final month of
mandatory statewide water conservation,
reducing their use by more than one-fourth.
Californians in May cut their residential
water use by 28 percent, compared to the
same month in 2013, the state Water
Resources Control Board said Wednesday.
Gov. Jerry Brown ordered mandatory water
conservation by cities and towns last year,
when California was then in its fourth year
of drought. Roughly 80 percent of the state
remains in drought now, although a rainy
winter in Northern California has eased the
dry spell there.

The 12 months of
mandatory water conservation set water-savings
targets of between 20and 25 percent statewide,
for residential users.
Californians
saved
nearly 500 billion gallons in that period,
Jerry Brown enough to supply 8 million people with water
for a year, the water board said.
Starting in June, water districts that can
show that they have enough water to get
through another three years of drought are
being allowed to escape the mandatory conservation orders.

SAN FRANCISCO One of the nations

most celebrated gay bars may soon go out
of business after a new landlord more than
doubled the rent, part of a trend that has
old-timers lamenting that the San
Francisco they know and love dilapidated and diverse is disappearing.
At 50 years old, the Stud is the longest
continually running gay bar in the city and
known throughout the country as one of
the bohemian, gender-bending, anythinggoes institutions that made San Francisco
into a gay mecca. A sign at the front door,
decorated with gold tinsel, reads:
Everybody is welcome at The Stud. Dream
It. Be It.
In June the building was sold, and the
bars owner received a notice that the
monthly rent for the 2, 800-square-foot
space would leap from $3,800 to $9,500 in
September. On Sunday, he called an emergency meeting to break the news to regulars.
The tale is familiar in a city that is
becoming ever wealthier with the arrival of
newcomers taking high-paying technology jobs downtown or in nearby Silicon
Valley. San Francisco has steadily shed
coin-op laundries, neighborhood dive bars
and auto-repair shops all certainly part
of natural turnover but one hurried along by
changing owners and rising rents.
In 1992, nearly 1,300 businesses closed
or changed locations, according to a 2014
report by the citys budget and legislative
analyst. By 2011, that number had grown
to nearly 12, 800. Last year, voters
approved a preservation fund to financially
assist longtime small businesses and nonprofits that face steep rent increases.
The Stud could qualify for such help, but
it is operating on a month-to-month lease,

thats kind of odd to say, but

without the protection of a long-term

lease. An agent for the buildings new
owner, City Commercial Investments LLC,
could not be reached for comment on plans
for the property.
The rent increase is not out of the realm
of what San Francisco rents are like now,
Stud owner Michael McElhaney said. But
being the type of business we are, doing
cabaret shows and drag and having primarily weekend and evening business, its definitely a tough challenge.
The Stud is in South of Market, a still
gritty and historically gay part of San
Francisco where developers are rapidly
building condos and restaurants to cater to
tech workers who can afford $4,500 for a
one-bedroom apartment. Across the street
is Thumbtack, a startup where Jeb Bush
held a town hall last year as part of his
failed presidential bid, famously arriving
in an Uber. The once-empty lot next to the
bar is being turned into housing.
The Stud opened in 1966 and quickly
gained a reputation as a spot with a hippie
vibe and eclectic customers. Inside its current space, there are gilt mirrors and a disco
ball and a small performance stage.
The minute you come in, you just feel
this warmth. Its not just the people. I
know thats kind of odd to say, but its the
building, and everyone mentions it when
they come in, said bartender Bernadette
Fons, who has worked there for a decade.

summoning FBI Director James Comey
to Capitol Hill to answer their questions.
Comey will testify Thursday before the
House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee, the panels chairman, Jason Chaffetz of Utah, announced
Wednesday. The announcement came a
day after Comey rebuked Clinton for
extremely careless behavior in her
handling of classified emails as secreJames Comey tary of state, but declared that no
charges are appropriate in the case.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement
Wednesday evening that she was accepting Comeys recommendation and the case would be closed.
There are a lot of questions that have to be answered. And
so were going to be asking those questions, House
Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters, adding that it looked like
Clinton had gotten preferential treatment. We have seen
nothing but stonewalling and dishonesty from Secretary
Clinton on this issue, and that means there are a lot more
questions that need to be answered.
Ryan said Clinton should be barred from receiving classified briefings in the course of the campaign. He said he
would be looking into whether Congress could take action
to enact such a prohibition. And asked whether a special
prosecutor should be appointed in the case, Ryan said he
wouldnt foreclose any option.
Ryans comments reflected widespread anger, even disbelief, among Republicans over Comeys announcement.
Comey delivered a stinging assessment of Clintons handling of classified emails, saying she should have known
not to have sensitive discussions on an unclassified system
and that she sent and received emails that were classified at
the time, contrary to her claims.

Trump as a shameful businessman
with a history of

for
American voters.
What he did here in Atlantic City is
exactly what hell do if he wins in
November, said Clinton, standing on

owned by Trump.
Clintons remarks were part of a
growing effort by her campaign to tear
down Trumps business reputation,

that she not face charges for her controversial email practices as secretary
of state. In clearing Clinton of breaking the law, FBI Director James Comey
was blistering in his criticism of the
Democratic nominee, saying she was
extremely careless in handling classified information on a private email
and personal internet server.

face-off with Trump. Campaign aides
say that while Trumps controversial
comments about minorities and
women weaken his prospects of winning the White House, he is still
viewed favorably as businessman by
many Americans.
For Clinton, Atlantic City provides
a picture-perfect backdrop to try to
undermine that reputation.
Once a casino-lined coastal jewel,
Atlantic City has struggled in recent
years, losing more than half of its
gambling revenue during the last nine
years. The casino struggles have led to
job losses and credit downgrades.
Trump defended his record in the
gambling town, saying he created
thousands of jobs and made a lot of
money in Atlantic City, which was
what, as a businessman, I am supposed
to do for my company and my family.
Earlier Wednesday, he blamed Atlantic
Citys troubles on politicians big
mistakes.

But in even in the years when other

Atlantic City casinos were growing,
casinos carrying the Trump name
werent. When Trumps publicly traded
company, Trump Hotels & Casino
Resorts Inc. , went bust in 2004,
Atlantic Citys casino revenues were
on their way to an all-time high. In
fact, two of his casinos three bankruptcies occurred in years when overall
Atlantic City gambling revenue was
rising.
Isnt he supposed to be some kind
of amazing businessman? Clinton
said. So its fair to ask, since he is
applying for a job, what in the world
happened here?
She also placed blame for Atlantic
Citys troubles on New Jersey Gov.

supporters.
If your governor would start doing

Bill to boost airport security,

WASHINGTON House and Senate lawmakers announced an agreement Wednesday

on an aviation bill to boost airport security,

The bill would also extend the Federal
Aviation Administrations programs and
policies through Sept. 30, 2017. The FAAs

July 15.

Conservative opposition puts

House GOPs gun bill in jeopardy
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Conservative opposition put a House Republican gun and antiterrorism bill in jeopardy Wednesday, delivering an embarrassing slap to Speaker Paul
Ryan and his effort to mount a legislative
response to last months Orlando mass
shooting.
Even as Democrats castigated the election-year GOP measure as ineffective and
demanded votes on their own gun curb
plans, the often defiant House Freedom
Caucus said it opposed the Republican package. The group has around 40 members, and
with solid Democratic opposition, GOP
leaders would lack the votes to move the bill
forward.
Despite the National Rifle Associations
endorsement of similar GOP legislation in
the Senate, the Freedom Caucus complained
that the House bill, which Ryan has been
pushing, did not adequately protect gun
owners rights. They also said its anti-terror
provisions, chiefly creating a new federal
office focused on radical Islamist terrorism within the U.S., did not go far enough.
One dissident conservative, Rep. Dave
Brat, R-Va., said the group objected most
strongly to the measures anti-terror provisions and said fixing them would be a
heavy lift. He and others said talks were
ongoing, and it seemed possible the bill
would be broken into two pieces.

overseas flights. It also requires airlines to

generally ensure that children 13 years of
age or under are seated adjacent to an adult or
older child traveling with them.
A bill that passed the Senate in April by a
vote of 95 to 3 would also have extended
other consumer protections to passengers,
including a requirement that airlines refund
fees for other services when not delivered,
such as advance seat assignments or early
boarding. But those provisions, which were
opposed by airlines, were dumped during
negotiations with the House.
To address long airport screening lines,
the bill requires the Transportation Security
Administration to hire a marketing firm to
generate greater public participation in the
agencys PreCheck expedited screening program for passengers who have been vetted
and determined to be low security risks.
The bill also requires TSA to ensure
PreCheck screening lanes are open during
high-volume travel times. And the measure
authorizes a pilot program to develop and
test more efficient passenger and luggage
screening systems.

Ryan, R-Wis. , told reporters, Were

going to get it right, and were going to do
it when were ready.
Conservative upheaval against Ryan has
been less frequent and vitriolic than it was
against his predecessor as speaker, John
Boehner, R-Ohio, whose retirement was
hastened by the conservatives. Notably,
conservative opposition to higher spending forced congressional Republicans to
abandon their effort to complete a budget
this year.
Even so, their opposition comes on an
issue thats been propelled back into prominence by last months carnage at a gay
nightclub in Orlando, Florida, when 49 victims died, the worst mass-shooting in modern American history. Ryan would like to
demonstrate that the GOP can act.
Underscoring the pressure on GOP leaders,
a mere vote on the Republican measure
would be a departure: Since the 2012 slaying
of school children in Newtown,
Connecticut, Republicans have not brought
any legislation broadly restricting guns to
the House floor.
The internal GOP turmoil endangered a
measure that has become a partisan battlefield over gun control and terrorism. Two
weeks after staging a House floor sit-in to
dramatize their demands, Democrats are
pressing for votes on two amendments: One
to broaden background checks for gun buyers, the other to ban many firearms sales to
suspected terrorists.

No end to Afghan
war: Obama slows
U.S. withdrawal
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama scrapped plans
Wednesday to cut American forces
in Afghanistan by half before
leaving office, a dispiriting blow
to his hopes of extricating the
U.S. after 15 years of fighting. He
said hell leave 8,400 troops to
address the countrys precarious
security situation.
Obamas new drawdown plan,
announced alongside top military
leaders, reinforced the likelihood
that the U.S. will remain entangled in Afghanistan for years to
come as America works to suppress a resurgent Taliban and train
a still-struggling Afghan military.
Indeed, Obama said his goal was to
ensure the next president has the
foundation and flexibility to fight
terrorism there as it evolves.
Obama acknowledged that few
Americans might have expected
U. S. troops would still be in
Afghanistan this long after the
2001 invasion following the 9/11
attacks. But he said perseverance
was needed to prevent al-Qaida
from regrouping and the Islamic
State group from spreading. He

said if terrorists regain control of

territory, theyll try to attack the
U.S. again.
We cannot allow that to happen. I will not allow that to happen, he declared.
Obama, who had revised the exit
plan several times before, had
most recently expected to leave
5,500 troops when his term ends
in January, down from roughly
9,800 there currently. His move to
slow that withdrawal reflected the
Afghan militarys continuing
inability to secure the nation independently, demonstrated by escalating Taliban attacks that have
killed scores in recent weeks.
The new plan, announced the
day before Obama attends a NATO
summit in Poland, marked the culmination of a delicate debate
within his administration about
how many troops to pull out if
any.
Though U. S. officials said
Obama
had
accepted
the
Pentagons formal recommendation of 8,400 troops, top military
leaders had urged the White House
to stay closer to the current 9,800.
In an unusually public lobbying
campaign, last month more than a
dozen former ambassadors and

Joseph Dunford Jr., delivers a statement from the Roosevelt Room on Afghanistan at the White House.
commanders urged him to freeze
the current level for the rest of his
term
In the end, Obama appeared to
settle on a number that would
show continued progress toward
drawing down without jeopardizing the mission.
Elected after vowing to end the
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
Obama has struggled to deliver a
legacy of leaving the U.S. less
encumbered by foreign conflicts

than he found it. Although hes

declared U.S. combat operations
over in both countries, the U.S. is
still deep in conflict in both, plus
major new fighting that has
emerged in Syria and Libya since
he took office.
In Congress, Republican leaders
who favor a larger force said
Obamas new plan was preferable
to the old one, but they criticized
him for not keeping the full
9,800. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-

S.C., said the partial drawdown

would increase the dangers for
remaining troops, calling it
more a political decision by
President Obama than a military
one.
Yet some Democrats, frustrated
by the inability to fully end the
war, said they were disappointed
for the opposite reason.
Today, the longest war in
American history just got longer,
said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.

U.K. report slams Iraq war; Blair says he acted in good faith
By Jill Lawless

LONDON Former prime minister Tony Blair led Britain into an

unsuccessful war in Iraq through a
mix of flawed intelligence, wholly inadequate planning and an
exaggerated sense of the U.K.s
ability to influence the United
States, according to a damning
official report on the conflict that
was published Wednesday.
The government-commissioned
inquiry fell short of delivering
what many bereaved families

sought a declaration that

the 2003 war
was illegal. But
its 2.6 million
words give the
most comprehensive verdict
to date on the
mistakes of a
Tony Blair
conflict whose
violent aftershocks still rattle the
world.
Blair, however, stood by his
decision to join U.S. President
George W. Bush in toppling Iraqi
leader Saddam Hussein.

I believe I made the right decision and that the world is better
and safer as a result of it, he said.
The decision to go to war was
the most contentions act of
Blairs decade as prime minister
between 1997 and 2007. By the
time British combat forces left
Iraq in 2009, the conflict had
killed 179 U.K. troops, almost
4,500 U.S. personnel and more
than 100,000 Iraqis.
Iraq descended into sectarian
strife after the occupiers dismantled Saddams government and
military, unleashing chaos that
helped give rise to the Islamic

State group.
The inquiry, which was seven
years in the making and headed by
retired civil servant John Chilcot,
concluded that Britain joined the
U. S. -led invasion before the
peaceful options for disarmament
had been exhausted.
Military action at that time was
not a last resort, Chilcot said as
he published the report.
The war overshadows the legacy
of Blair, whose government has
been accused of exaggerating prewar intelligence about Saddams
alleged weapons of mass destruction. As Chilcot introduced his

report at a London conference center, dozens of anti-war protesters

with placards reading Bliar rallied outside.
An emotional but defiant Blair
told a news conference that going
to war in Iraq was the hardest,
most momentous, most agonizing
decision I took as prime minister.
He said that I express more sorrow, regret and apology than you
may ever know, or can believe,
for all the things that went wrong.
But, he added: I did not mislead
this country. I made the decision
in good faith.

Muslims struggle to comprehend violent Ramadan

By Zeina Karam
and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT As Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan, many

are struggling to comprehend a
wave of attacks that killed 350
people across several countries
during the holy month and raised
the question of what drives the
militants to ever more spectacular
violence.
The high-profile attacks underline the warnings by many experts
that the Islamic State group, especially when on the defensive, will
metastasize far beyond its theater
of operations.
The extremist group has always
sought attention and recruits
through terrorism, which has
proven to be a winning strategy
among its disenfranchised and
angry followers.
The loss of its key city of
Fallujah capped a series of recent
setbacks in Iraq, and the group is
pushing to project its strength
while also diverting attention
from its battlefield humiliations.
ISIS is waging an existential
fight, said Fawaz Gerges, a
London-based scholar of jihadi
groups, using another acronym
for the militant group. The future
of the Islamic State is on the line,
and it is trying to maximize the
cost for its adversaries and also to
inspire this particular segment of

young men and women who subscribe to its ideology.

If the militants needed to send a
message, Ramadan provided a
convenient context.
Most Muslims regard the month
as a time for introspection, peace
and piety, but militants and hardline clerics have been touting it as
an opportunity for jihad, or holy
war.
Weeks before Ramadan, IS urged
its supporters to strike wherever
possible, and those calls appear to
have found resonance.
Omar Mateen, who pledged allegiance to IS, killed 49 people at a
crowded gay nightclub in Orlando,
Florida, on June 12. Militants
killed 44 people at Istanbuls
main airport on June 28. Young
men killed 20 hostages at a
Bangladesh restaurant on July 1.
Such violence highlights how
attacks can be instantly attached
to IS, even when the group does
not claim responsibility. It also
underscored the increasingly
blurred lines in which attacks can
be assigned to IS and transformed
into a global cause.
The bloodshed also demonstrated the difficulty in neutralizing a
threat that often is inspired by the
group and not necessarily directed
from within it.
Still, many of the attacks
appeared to have been careful
planned, with targets clearly
meant to induce fear and shock.

On July 3, a suicide truck bombing in a bustling

people in one of the deadliest attacks in 13 years

guards, and a third bomber struck near a Shiite

popular restaurant in an upscale Dhaka

On July 5, a suicide bomber struck outside a police

station in Solo, Java, wounding one policeman.
Police say the attacker was linked to a leading
figure among Indonesians fighting with IS in Syria.

On June 28, a grenade was lobbed at a bar outside

Kuala Lumpur as patrons watched Euro soccer
matches, wounding eight people. Authorities said
it was the first IS attack in the Muslim-majority
country, and that the attackers received orders
from a Malaysian man fighting alongside the
group in Syria.

Stocks rise as drugmakers gain; gold climbs

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U. S. stocks

changed course and turned higher
Wednesday, with drug and consumer companies leading the way.
Investors were willing to take a
few more risks than the day
before, but they remained cautious, and demand for bonds and
precious metals stayed high.
Stocks opened lower, and the
Dow Jones industrial average fell
as much as 127 points early on.
Indexes started moving higher at
noon and finished at their highest
levels of the day. Phone companies, traditionally safe investments, fell after some recent
gains. Bond prices were little
changed after Tuesdays surge,
which pulled the yields on longterm U.S. bonds to their lowest
levels ever recorded.
The day before, investors
flocked to bonds and sold off all
but the steadiest stocks as they
worried about the health of
Britains financial system. Those
fears faded a bit on Wednesday, but
Kristina Hooper, head of U. S.
investment strategies at Allianz
Global Investors, said demand for
bonds will remain high as the
effects of the British vote to leave
the European Union ripple
through the markets.

If payday loans go away,

what will replace them?
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The lenders who advance

poor people money on their paychecks
charge exorbitant interest rates that often
snare the most vulnerable customers in a
cycle of debt, the industrys critics have
long said.
Yet even consumer advocates who loathe
the industry admit it fulfills a need:
Providing small amounts of cash quickly to
people who cant qualify for credit cards or a
bank loan. Roughly 12 million Americans
take out a payday loan each year, spending
more than $7 billion, according to the Pew
Charitable Trusts.
But with proposed new regulations from
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
predicted to cut deeply into the industry,
experts and consumer advocates are trying
to figure out what will replace it.
The traditional payday loan model works
like this. A customer will borrow money,
often at a retail payday loan store, where the
borrower provides a post-dated check or
gives written authorization for the lender to
debit their checking account on a certain
date, usually 14 to 30 days from the date the
loan was taken out. Unlike an installment
loan, where the loan is paid back over a
period of months, a payday loan is due in its

entirety when it comes due.

The problem with this structure is that the
majority of payday loans are renewed or
extended, critics say, which means a customer cannot come up with the full sum to
pay off the loans and must re-borrow the
loan for a fee. Roughly 60 percent of all
loans are renewed at least once, and 22 percent of all loans are renewed at least seven
times, according to a 2014 study by the
CFPB . In California, the largest payday
loan market, repeat borrowers made up 83
percent of loan volume last year , according
to a state regulators study released
Wednesday.
The CFPBs proposal is not expected to
take effect until early next year, and experts
dont think it will change substantially
from its current version. It would require
payday lenders to determine each customers
ability to repay that loan in the time allotted and would limit the amount of times a
customer could renew the loan. The CFPBs
proposal represents an existential threat to
payday lending industry as it currently
stands, industry officials and regulators say,
with loan originations projected to drop
between 59 percent to 80 percent. While
most of that drop the CFPB says would stem
from the cap on loans being renewed, the
CFPB acknowledges in its proposal the volume of payday lending would decrease under
the new regulations.

Low Treasury yield points to rising economic fears

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Fear and uncertainty

about the global economy are leading
investors to embrace the relative safety of
U.S. government debt and slashing yields
to record lows.
Interest paid on the 10-year Treasury note
reached 1.34 percent early Wednesday, just
below the previous record set in 2012.
Historically, when concerns have flared
about a potential recession, investors have
shifted money into havens such as U.S.
Treasurys and sent yields falling.
The markets signal this time seems
somewhat hazier than usual, and theres far

from any consensus among economists that

a recession is approaching.
As recently as the start of June, the yield
on the Treasury note was 1.85 percent. Then
the U.S. government issued an anemic May
jobs report. And Britain voted to abandon
the European Union a move that caught
markets off guard and magnified concerns
about the global economic order.
What makes the record-low Treasury yield
something of an oddity is that the U.S.
economy the worlds largest still
looks relatively sturdy, far more so than
most other major economies. But yields on
other nations debt are even lower. Yields on
German and Japanese debt, for example, are
negative.

M-As Crowe realizes her potential

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The word potential is a two-edged sword:

its an adjective that can build hope and excitement, or one that elicits tsk-tsks and shoulder
shrugs.
Menlo-Athertons Annalisa Crowe always
had a ton of potential, but for one reason or
another an ill-timed illness or injury she
never quite fulfilled it her first three years.
Determined to leave her mark, Crowe dedicated herself to having the best possible senior
year should could have. A three-sport athlete
(cross country, basketball and track), with an
emphasis in the 800 on the track, Crowe finally had all the stars align, combined with extra
hard work, as she reached heights everyone
knew she could.
She won the Peninsula Athletic League cross
country title and followed that with a runner-up
finish in the Central Coast Section Division I
cross country championship. She was part of a
girls basketball team that went undefeated in
PAL South Division play in capturing a division and PAL tournament title before advancing
to CCS Open Division tournament and with it a
guaranteed spot in the Northern California tournament.
To cap her breakout season, she won the PAL
800 and 1,600 titles and finished second in the
800 at CCS to advance to the state meet for the
first time after coming oh-so-close her first
three years. In the final race of her high school
career, she set a new personal and school record
in the 800.
For her efforts, she is the Daily Journal Girls
Athlete of the Year.

San Carlos National slugger Dom Bruciati connects with a three-run home
run in the second inning of a 5-2 win over San Carlos American in the District
52 All-Star 9-10s tournament Wednesday at Highlands Park..

When San Mateo National issued its uniforms at the outset

of the District 52 All-Star 9-10s tournament, Dom Bruciati
requested to wear No. 3.
The reason was simple. Bruciati, who is a big fan of Babe
Ruth, is the spitting image of the Bambino on the baseball
diamond.
How does a 10-year-old become a fan of player who broke
into the big leagues over 100 years ago? Simple.
He hits dingers, Bruciati said.
In Wednesday nights battle of San Carlos an elimination showdown between the citys National and American
squads Bruciati showed he too can hit dingers as the lefty
starred on both sides of the ball in Nationals 5-2 victory to
knock American out of the tournament.
The left-handed Bruciati not only faced the minimum
through three innings on the mound to earn the win, he channeled the Bambino in the second inning to crush a three-run
home run that ultimately proved the game-winner.
The big swing of the bat came on a middle-in fastball that
Bruciati absolutely crushed. Bruciati, however, seemed to be
the only person at Highlands Park that didnt realize it was
gone as soon as it left the bat. Thats probably for the best,
at least for the old-school baseball fans in attendance, as

Cueto wins lucky No. 13

By Michael Wagaman

Giants 5, Rockies 1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Johnny Cueto

intends to pitch in next weeks All-Star
Game after not getting to play in his first
appearance there two years ago.
If Giants manager Bruce Bochy has any
say in the matter, Cueto will start in the
Midsummer Classic.
Cueto pitched a five-hitter to become the
NLs first 13-game winner, and San
Francisco beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 on
Wednesday night to move atop the major
league standings.
He has made an enormous case of starting
that game, Bochy said following Cuetos
fourth complete game this season. You
look at his record, his numbers, what a great
first half hes had. Its obvious were pulling
for it to happen.
With the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw on
the disabled list and Jake Arrieta of the Cubs
stumbling in recent weeks, the door is wide
open for the Giants right-hander to become
the second Giants pitcher in five years to
start the All-Star Game, following Matt
Cain in 2012.
It would be big, Cueto said through an

interpreter. It would
mean a lot because it
would be the first time
that I would ever pitch in
an All-Star Game. And I
want to pitch.
Cueto (13-1) allowed
Johnny Cueto one run on five hits with
eight strikeouts and one
walk while going the distance for the fourth
time this season. He also became the first
Giants pitcher since John Burkett in 1993
to win 13 games before the All-Star break.
The performance gave San Franciscos
slumping bullpen a much-needed break.
Whenever hes hitting spots, its
tough, Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez
said. Hes going to keep you off balance
with all the different moves that he has. I
like him because whenever you are trying to
get big hes hard to hit.
San Francisco (54-33) passed the Chicago
Cubs (52-32) for the majors best record and
has won five of seven. Buster Posey homered for the second time in three days,
Brandon Belt doubled and tripled and

Brandon Crawford drove in two runs for San

Francisco.
Posey struck out looking with a runner on
third in the first inning before hitting his
11th home run of the season off Rockies
starter Jorge De La Rosa (5-7) in the sixth.
De La Rosa allowed three runs over seven
innings with five strikeouts and one walk.
The Colorado lefty has lost two straight
since his four-game winning streak.
Grant Green walked and scored on Belts
RBI triple in the first. Belt scored on
Crawfords two-out single.
Green also scored on a wild pitch in the
eighth and Crawford added a sacrifice fly to
make it 5-1.
Rookie sensation Trevor Story drove in
Colorados lone run in the fourth on a fielders choice grounder with the bases loaded.

Cueto at the plate

San Franciscos starter wasnt as dominant at the plate as he was on the mound, but
Cueto still managed to end an 0-for-26
slump when he singled off De La Rosa in the
second inning.

Oaklands Gray a hard-luck loser

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS Sonny Gray had his

good stuff on Wednesday at Target Field,
finding ways to wiggle out of jams while
pitching six solid innings for the Oakland
Athletics.
Even that wasnt enough to stop a personal losing streak that has stretched on for
more than two months.
Ervin Santana struck
out eight and walked
none in a two-hitter that
led the Minnesota Twins
over
the
Oakland
Athletics 4-0.
Gray (3-8) gave up one
run, six hits and four
walks in six innings,
Sonny Gray
losing his seventh
straight decision, the
longest active skid in the American League.
Billy Butlers two-out double in the fifth
and Stephen Vogts leadoff single in the
eighth Oaklands lone hits.
Probably the best mix of pitches weve
seen in a while, Athletics manager Bob

Twins 4, As 0
Melvin said. He threw quite a few changeups, curveball, slider, moving fastballs,
some cutters, really a good array of pitches.
Unfortunately, they just fouled a lot of them
off.
And Santana was even better.
Santana (3-7) pitched his eighth shutout
and 15th complete game, helping the Twins
take two of three from the As. Joe Mauer had
three hits and an RBI.
The bleary-eyed clubs were back at it on
Wednesday less than 12 hours after finishing a rain-delayed game that started at 9:52
p.m.
Both teams appeared to be swinging
heavy bats, and Gray stranded 12 runners,
holding the Twins to 1 for 11 with runners
in scoring position.
He gave up an RBI-double to Mauer in the
fifth, but held the Twins at bay for the rest of
his start.
Mentally, I was just trying to stay
aggressive, said Gray, who has not won
since April 22. There were times to chal-

lenge guys and times not to. The times he

told me to go challenge guys I was able to
do that a little bit more.
Santana frustrated Oaklands hitters all
afternoon. Josh Reddick slammed his bat in
anger after popping out to the catcher in the
fourth inning and Khris Davis did the same
after a strikeout in the seventh.
The As didnt record a hit until Butlers
double in the fifth.
We had some good at-bats off him at
times and we had some non-competitive atbats, Vogt said. When a pitcher has his
stuff and you dont have consistent at-bats
against him its going to be hard to win. He
was very, very good today.
While mired in the losing streak, Gray
walked out of the ballpark on Wednesday in
his final start before the All-Star break feeling a sense of momentum that the As hope
can carry over into the second half of the
season.
Hes shown signs of it all year, Vogt
said. Its not like hes been awful all year.
Its been kind of a big inning has gotten
him. I think that was kind of a turning point
today for him, in my opinion.

Ronaldo leads Portugal to Euro 2016 final

By Steve Douglas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LYON, France Cristiano Ronaldo had

just propelled Portugal into another
European Championship final when he
made for Gareth Bale, shared a long conversation with his Real Madrid teammate and
gave him a sympathetic hug.
The battle of the superstar forwards turned
into a one-man show and, as ever, it was
Ronaldo taking center stage.
By thumping home a header and setting
up strike partner Nani for the second goal,
Ronaldo delivered two blows in three minutes to lead Portugal to a 2-0 win over Wales
in the Euro 2016 semifinals on Wednesday.
Ronaldo a serial winner in individual
and team prizes in club football will get
another chance to win his first trophy on
the international stage when Portugal meets
either France or Germany in Sundays final
at the Stade de France.
Ive always said my dream was to win a
trophy with Portugal, Ronaldo said.
Were closer to doing it and I believe that
well win.
Portugal last competed in a final at Euro
2004, when the team surprisingly lost on

home soil to Greece. A 19-year-old Ronaldo

shed tears after that match, but he has managed to lead a much weaker side to another
international showpiece.
Portugal are not just about Cristiano
Ronaldo, we are a team, Ronaldo said. But
I was able to score today and Ive helped the
team get to the final.
Ronaldo equaled France great Michel
Platinis record of nine goals in European
Championship football when he timed a
prodigious leap to perfection and planted
home a header in the 50th minute.
The three-time world player of the year
then sent in a long-range shot that Nani,
finding space in between defenders, diverted
into the net on the slide from 10 meters.
Despite Bales best efforts again, he
was his teams top performer and a solid
first-half display, Wales unlikely run at
only its second ever major tournament
ended in the semifinals. The loss of midfielder Aaron Ramsey through suspension
proved to be costly for the Welsh, and Bale
couldnt do it all on his own.
This could have been the match where
Bale, footballs most expensive player,
emerged from Ronaldos shadow. That will
have to wait.

REUTERS

Cristiano Ronaldo rises up over a Wales

defender to head home Portugals first goal
in a 2-0 win in the Euro semifinals.
He is a natural goal-scorer and he scored
yet again, Bale said of Ronaldo. Its not
about them, its about us. Were disappointed but well pick ourselves up.
Competing in its first tournament since
the 1958 World Cup, Wales a rugby-mad

nation of 3 million people has been one

of the most popular stories of Euro 2016,
topping its group and then beating highly
fancied Belgium in the quarterfinals.
But the Welsh had no response once
Portugal forged ahead after its one-two
punch. Portugal hadnt previously won a
match in regulation 90 minutes in France,
yet there would be no late drama here thanks
to Ronaldo.
The owner of the best leap in world football, Ronaldo timed his jump perfectly and
headed home left back Raphael Guerreiros
cross off a short-corner routine. Wales
defender James Chester was blindsided by
Ronaldo, who scored his third goal of the
tournament one less than France forward
Antoine Griezmann.
It was telling that when they needed to
chase the game, the Welsh could only throw
on a striker from the third tier of English
football Simon Church.
There were a couple of half-chances for
Wales late on, but Portugal could have doubled the margin of victory by the end, with
Joao Mario hitting the post with one of the
chances on the breakaway.
Portugal had lost five of its previous six
semifinal matches in major tournaments.

Wednesday.
Already trailing two sets to
none, he was down love-40 while

Once that problem was solved,
his quarterfinal against Marin Cilic
really could have concluded 45
minutes later, when Federer faced a
match point at 5-4 in the fourth. Or
10 minutes and two games later,
when Cilic again was a point from
winning. Or another 10 minutes
after that, when Cilic held a third
match point.
Through it all, Federer, a month
shy of his 35th birthday, would not
go away. And Cilic, who beat
Federer in straight sets en route to
the 2014 U.S. Open title, could not
close the deal. Saving that trio of

emerged with a dont-look-awayor-youll-miss-something 6-7 (4),
4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 victory over
Cilic to reach his 11th semifinal at
the All England Club.
I fought, I tried, I believed,
Federer said after his 10th career
comeback from a two-set hole,
equaling the most on record. At
the end, I got it done.
Indeed, he did. When he capped
his escape with a pair of aces at 126
mph and 115 mph, the third-seeded

Federer thrust both arms overhead

and violently wagged his right
index finger. Hes no longer ranked
No. 1. He hasnt won a Grand Slam
trophy since 2012. He dealt with
knee surgery and a bad back this
season, the first since 2000 that he
arrived at Wimbledon without a
title. He sat out the French Open,
the first major he missed since
1999, raising doubts about his
readiness for Wimbledon.
To test the body, to be out there
again fighting, being in a physical
battle and winning it is an
unbelievable feeling, said Federer,
who could become the oldest man
to win a major since Ken Rosewall
did it at 37 at the 1972 Australian
Open. Yeah, I mean, it was an
emotional win.
On Friday, Federer faces No. 6

Bruciati said he would have made more of a
spectacle a la Jose Bautista had he known
immediately he got ahold of it.
I would have bat-flipped it if I knew it was
going to be a home run, Bruciati said.
It was a night for old-school baseball fans
though, as those in attendance got treated to a
heck of a baseball game. The tone was set
even before first pitch as the District 52 staff
had to get creative with the official pregame
player introductions.
Due to numerous complaints from residents in the Highlands Park neighborhood,
District 52 couldnt use the public-address
system as it did through earlier rounds of the
tournament. But one of the San Carlos district reps, Steve Robinson, saved the day by
providing a spirited round of introductions
for both teams.
Both teams followed suit, squaring off in a
spirited battle of rivals, including several
groups of friends playing against one another.
In fact, it was Bruciatis best friend Willem
Berry The San Carlos American starting
pitcher who had the old-school Tim Lincecum
hair flowing who served up the home run.
But National did a lot more than hit. Sure,
Bruciati faced the minimum through three
innings of work. But it was his defense that
helped eliminate three base runners that
reached against him.
In the first inning, after Bruciati issued a
one-out walk to Aiden Deffner, National first
baseman Cole Roark turned in an impressive
double play. With Johnny Larios hitting a
two-hopper right at Roark, the first baseman
handled the play deftly by stepping on the
bag, then spinning and firing a perfect throw
to second to notch the twin killing.
In the second inning, National escaped a
one-out jam after Bruciati surrendered backto-back infield singles. When catcher Joe
Prieto threw behind the runner at first,

San Carlos National second baseman T.J. OBrien slaps a tag on San Carlos American base
runner Davis Minton to complete a double-play in the second inning of Nationals 5-2 win.
National got another savvy play by Roark
who gunned to third base as the front runner
attempted to steal. Then third baseman Scotty
Fitzpatrick was keen to see the back runner
take off for second, and his throw to second
baseman T.J. OBrien was right on the money
for the second double play in as many
innings.
I thought [our defense] played great,
Roark said. They were staying down on the
ball and the only runs that scored were on a
home run, so they werent on our defense.
After hitting into a double play in his first
at-bat, Larios made good his next time up,
drilling a two-run home run to center in the
fourth to cut Nationals lead to 4-2.
It felt pretty good, Larios said. At first I
didnt know if it was going to go over. I
thought he was going to rob it. So, when it
landed I was psyched.
National got one of the runs back in the
fifth, but the rally could have been much
worse. Rob Oda led off the inning with a sin-

gle to center before back-to-back walks to

OBrien and Jayden Weber loaded the bases.
But American cut down two runners at the
plate, with just one run scoring on a groundout, keeping the game close at 5-2.
Weber came on to pitch the sixth and final
inning for National though, and retired the
side in order to close it out.
National manager Toby OBrien praised his
teams defensive performance.
Thats just amazing, OBrien said.
Thats the first game in this run that weve
had no errors. I think theyve started to get a
feel for each other and are starting to gel. That
helps do away with the little mistakes, which
is nice.
For American, its tournament ends with a 12 record, enjoying a first-round win 7-3 over

standings with five tournaments left to get into

the top 125 and qualify for the playoffs. Only
the top 125 have full tour status for the following season.
When the Colombian first talked about his
dilemma last week at the Barracuda
Championship, he was near the top of the
leaderboard after the first round and hopeful a
good week would move him up in the FedEx
Cup standings. He ended the week in a tie for
44th.
His statement came one day after Brendon de
Jonge of Zimbabwe said he would pass up his
spot in the Olympics because he first needs to
make sure he has a full job for next season. De
Jonge is at No. 160.
Twelve eligible players already have withdrawn from the Olympics, which has golf on
the program for the first time since 1904. That
list includes world No. 1 Jason Day and fourtime major champion Rory McIlroy, both citing concerns over the Zika virus. Day plans to
have more children and McIlroy wants to start a
family soon.
While the Zika virus and concerns over security and crime get most of the attention, de
Jonge and potentially Villegas have exposed
another side to the problem with golf returning
to the Olympics. Because the PGATour chose to
keep its schedule going during the games, some
players lower in the standings have to choose
between playing for their country and playing
for their jobs.
Villegas has won four times on the PGATour,
most recently at the Wyndham Championship
two years ago. His two-year exemption for that
victory expires this year.
Ive always wanted to represent my country
and the highest level, and Ive always done so
with love, Villegas said. I always have our
flag on my golf bag and do so with pride the
same pride I feel for being Colombian.
Villegas played in the 2009 Presidents Cup
in San Francisco, and he twice has represented
Colombia in the World Cup, in 2006 and 2011.

Ko, Henderson look to carry

rivalry into U.S. Womens Open
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN MARTIN There is very little separating the top two womens
golfers in the world in Lydia Ko and
Brooke Henderson.
The two teenage sensations have
won the past three majors heading
into this weeks U.S. Womens
Open with the 19-year-old Ko taking two and the 18-year-old
Henderson following last month
with a thrilling playoff victory over
Ko in the KPMG Womens PGA
Championship in Washington that
could set the stage for a heated rivalry for years to come.
Fittingly, the two will be together
when this years third major starts at
the U.S. Womens Open at
CordeValle on Thursday, less than
100 miles south of San Francisco.
Ko and Henderson will play the first
two rounds with 21-year-old Lexi
Thompson, who is ranked fourth in
the world, in the marquee group of
the tournament.
Its great to watch them both on
the golf course and their attitudes
and just their demeanors on the golf
course, Thompson said. Theyre
aggressive players, and just consistent overall. You cant really even
find a weakness in their game, and
thats why theyre so good.
The top three ranked players in
the tournament third-ranked
Inbee Park will miss the Open
because of a thumb injury will
face stiff competition in the 156player field that includes nine previous champions, including last
years winner, In Gee Chun.

Other winners include Michelle

Wie (2014), Na Yeon Choi (2012),
Paula Creamer (2010), Eun-Hee Ji
(2009), Cristie Kerr (2007), So
Yeon Ryu (2011), Karrie Webb
(2000, 2001) and Se Ri Pak (1998).
This will be the final U.S. tournament for Pak before she plans to
retire. Her win at Blackwolf Run in
Wisconsin 18 years ago helped
spark the recent South Korean dominance of the LPGA Tour. Seven of
the last 11 winners of the U.S. Open
have come from South Korea.
After I came and after I start winning, I have this great success,
everybody was thinking, I can do
that, Pak said. Giving a lot of confidence, built confidence for them.
So theyre here, they make it a
dream, they make it possible. So I
think I was part of it.
But when the tournament starts,
much of the focus will be on Ko and
Henderson, who hope to build off
the drama they staged last month
when Henderson tracked down Ko in
the final round with a long eagle putt
and a tough par before winning in a
playoff by coolly stuffing her
approach into 3 feet.
That gave Henderson her first
career major as she tries to match
Ko, who had won the previous two
with her victory at the ANA
Inspiration earlier this year after
winning the Evian Championship
in 2015.
Lydia Ko is amazing, Henderson
said. Shes an inspiration to all of
us girls out here, and I think everyone in the world, basically. Shes
done amazing things in her career
and shes only a couple months
older than I am.

CROWE
Continued from page 11
I learned you have to keep on pushing.
Everything takes time. You cant just expect it
to come to you, Crowe said. You have to be
dedicated and motivated. If something doesnt
go your way, you gotta keep pushing. Dont
be afraid.

Plenty of hurdles to overcome

Even her breakout season did not go smoothly as planned. Instead of being derailed by
obstacles, she used her determination to move
past them. Despite making a conscious effort to
be ready for a great senior year, she suffered an
ankle injury that ultimately resulted in tendonitis in her Achilles tendon during the summer, which curtailed her training and racing during the first half of the season.
So much for the best-laid plans. Crowe admitted her first reactions to the injuries were more
disbelief and frustration all that time training
and she enters her senior year hurt?
That definitely went through my mind,
Crowe said. I just powered through it. This was
my last year. I had to do something (special).
She said about midway through the season
she was healthy enough to start racing and,
despite starting slowly, she quickly regained
her pace.
I think it took until the about the summer
between her junior and senior years before the
coaches and Annalisa and her parents and doctor, (got together to determine) what was the
right workout plan for her, said Alan Perry, MAs cross country and track coach. Putting her
in the pool or on the bike two or three days (a
week proved beneficial). That made her training more consistent. It wasnt through lack of
effort she wasnt maximizing everything.
Cross country has never been Crowes focus
instead using it as training for the track season so even she was shocked when, after
winning the PAL Division I title, she finished
second at CCS to qualify for the state meet.
That was shocking, Crowe said. That really motivated me and made me realize I could
drop a lot of time.
After seeing her cross country performance,
Perry had a feeling Crowe would have a breakout
track season. With a new training regime in
place, combined with overcoming yet another
hurdle, steeled Crowes resolve.
As competitive as she is, she wanted to
prove to herself she could do it (have success
coming off an injury). It was just one more barrier she knew she could overcome, Perry said.
All the work she did in the fall made it a little
easier, mentally, for the track season. She felt
she might have been more prepared.

captain and earning team co-MVP honors as
she finished in the top 10 at the Peninsula
Athletic League tournament.
Tennis was fun, but I had always been thinking about (playing high school) golf,
Christina Monisteri said.
Having golfed seriously for about a year,
Christina has already checked one thing off
every golfers bucket list: a hole in one.
Saturday, during a round at San Juan Oaks in
Watsonville, a Fred Couples-designed course
that Gary Monisteri says is a championshipcaliber track, Christina accomplished what
millions of golfers will never do: she pulled
out her pitching wedge on the par-3, 97-yard,
16th hole and put the ball in the bottom of the
cup on her first shot.
I wasnt having the best round, Christina
said. I took pitching wedge and I had to shorten my swing.
She initially thought her shot had come up
short of the green, but mom who knows a
thing or two about golf shots told Christina
she was fine.
I saw it land on the green then we heard a
clank noise.
As Carl Spackler said in Caddyshack: Its
in the hole! Its in the hole!
I was pretty excited the rest of the round,
Christina said. I wasnt too concerned about
my score after that.
A natural athlete, Christina Monisteri also
excelled on the basketball court this season,
earning honorable mention, all-league honors
and also high jumped for the track team.
But its golf she hopes to continue at
Sonoma State, where she will have to walk on.
Right now, it (golf) is my favorite,
Christina said.
***
Christina Monisteri is not the only one to
have a good summer on the links. Catherine
Batang, an incoming sophomore at South
City, was one of a select group of junior golfers
from around the country to be chosen to play in
the Nature Valley First Tee Open Pro/Am tournament at Pebble Beach in September. The
tournament pairs Champions Tour players
including the likes of San Mateo native
Michael Allen, two-time U.S. Open winner Lee
Janzen and John Daly (yep, hes on the senior
tour) with junior golfers in a tournament setting.
Adding to the excitement was the fact
Batangs selection was made on television on
the Golf Channel.
Batang burst on the PAL scene as a freshman
last season, finishing fourth in the PAL championship. Last month, she missed qualifying
for the U.S. Junior Girls Open by four shots.

Annalisa Crowe

invested too much into her senior year, she was

not about to let the sniffles derail her.

Keeping an eye on
track during basketball season
Between the cross country and track seasons,
however, was the basketball season, where
Crowe wrapped up a four-year varsity career. Her
playing time had dwindled over the last couple
of years as the M-A girls basketball has turned
into a juggernaut. But Crowe knew her role and
she did better than everyone else on the team. A
defensive specialist, Crowe was usually
assigned to the opponents best perimeter player. She earned the Bears defensive MVP award
for her work.
The team itself was just a great group of
girls. I just love the game, Crowe said.
Unlike in years past, however, Crowe kept
one eye on the track season that was yet to come
and, while she toiled away with the rest of her
basketball teammates in the gym, she was still
training for the upcoming track season by running from home to practice and back home
again about three miles round trip a couple
times a week during the basketball season.
In the past, Ive never done much prep for
track during basketball, Crowe said.
To Perry, it was just another indication of how
much Crowe wanted to be successful in her specialty and knew that playing basketball would
only help her.
If shes always competing, shes always
going to get better, Perry said. She may not
be the star in basketball like she is in cross
country and track, but [the basketball team wasnt] going to go as far as they did without her.

I felt if I ran if I was sick before, I can run

again, Crowe said. All my training didnt go
away because I got sick.
Not only did her training not leave her, it
enabled her to drop time over the final races of
her career. She won the PAL championship in
both the 800 and the 1,600. She qualified for the
finals in both races at CCS, but dropped the
1,600 to concentrate solely on the 800.
It paid off. After running a 2:18.62 in the PAL
finals, she dropped more than five seconds in
CCS qualifying, running a 2:16.03. She followed that by cutting more than three more seconds again in the CCS finals, finishing second
with a time of 2:13.37 to advance to the state
track meet.
That achieved one of her goals of making the
state track meet. There was still some unfinished business, however, and she took care of
both of those in one fell swoop, running the
best race of her life in her heat of state qualifying. She posted a time of 2:11.41 to set a new
PR as well as a new M-A record.
Unfortunately, Crowe failed to advance to the
state final.
I was sixth in my heat, which was the fastest
heat, Crowe said. It was bittersweet (to run so
well and not make the final). It made it better
that not only did I PR, but I broke the school
record. I was really happy, but I was really sad
because it was my last (high school) race.
But it was awesome. It was a great way to finish it (my high school career).

Soaring to new heights

When the track season finally rolled around,
Crowe was ready to go and had three goals: set a
new personal record in the 800, one she set her
sophomore season, break the school record and
make it to the state meet.
But you knew the good times wouldnt last.
After setting a personal and school record in the
mile in a time of 5:02.40 at the St. Francis
Invitational in late April, Crowe came down
with what she described as a cold she could not
shake for several weeks.
Suddenly, she was faced with the biggest
potential hurdle of her senior year.
I tend to get sick a lot. This year, I was pretty healthy until league finals of track, Crowe
said. It was really frustrating. I was pretty
down. I knew I had all these races I had to qualify in to get to the next round.
She quickly chased those thoughts from her
mind, however. She had worked too hard and

The state meet only closed the high school

chapter of Crowes career as she plans to continue running at the next level when she will
compete for Dartmouth College in Hanover,
New Hampshire in both cross country and track.
I hope to be on the travel team for both. In
track I think I have a really good shot, Crowe
said.
Perry knows firsthand that Crowe has a really good shot.
I know she is really competitive. Her first
cross country race (of her high school career),
she ran so hard, she passed out, Perry said.
That shows her competitiveness and her will to
get everything out of herself. We knew, as a
coaching staff, we had an athlete who was willing to do whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes to reach her potential.

Dogwoods beauty continues into summer

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The last of the hounds of spring is in its glory. Dogwood.

The flamboyant show began back in late winter when cornelian cherry (Cornus mas), a kind of dogwood, swathed its
branches in a veil of small, yellow blossoms. That display
was followed by one from the familiar flowering dogwood (C.
florida), on whose heels, at ground level, came bunchberry
(C. canadensis). Then it was the turn of pagoda dogwood (C.
alternifolia), its white blossoms on branches tiered like the
roofs of a pagoda.
Summer is when white blossoms begin spilling in profusion from among kousa dogwoods (C. kousa) dark green
leaves. These blossoms are especially welcome because they
fill the vacuum that follows the burst of color from springblooming trees and shrubs.

NOT REALLY FLOWERS

In fact, what weve been admiring from all these hounds
are not flowers at all. These dogwoods true flowers are relatively inconspicuous. The alleged flowers are actually leaves
modified leaves called bracts, which are petal-like in color
and in the way they lie in a whorl just behind the true flowers.
(Poinsettias also owe their flamboyance to bracts rather than
to true petals.)
The only oddball, florally speaking, among these dogwoods is cornelian cherry. Its yellow bracts are relatively
small, not much larger than the true flowers. The leaves and
bracts make up for their small size by appearing in profusion
and in clusters.

MORE TO COME
Keep an eye on all these dogwoods for the rest of the season, for more good things are still to come. Over the next few
weeks, their fruits will begin to turn red first those of pagoda dogwood, then those of bunchberry and cornelian cherry,
and finally those of kousa dogwood and flowering dogwood.
Pagoda dogwoods fruits pass through a red stage on their way
to becoming bluish black, but the fruit stalks remain a pleasing coral pink.
Besides good looks, these fruits provide food for wildlife
and even, to some extent, humans. The tastiest are cornelian
cherry fruits, which, though rarely eaten these days, have
been eaten by humans for thousands of years. Remains of
these fruits have been found at Neolithic sites in Europe, and
the Roman writer Ovid referred to the fruits as part of the
Golden Age in his Metamorphoses. The plant was common
in 18th century English gardens, with the harvested fruit
known as cornel plums. Cornelian cherry fruits are still popular in Ukraine.
Fresh cornelian cherries are a bit too robust in flavor for my
palate, but if they sit for a couple of days the flavor mellows.
Just ripe, or after sitting, they are good in jams, sauces and
sorbets.
Kousa fruits, round with protuberances, look like miniature
medieval weapons painted pink. Theyre slightly sweet and
mealy.
Even as the fruits drop from the dogwoods, dont take your
eyes off the plants. As summer cools into autumn, all these
dogwoods leaves will turn color. Depending on the weather
and the species, leaves might put on either a subtle or lively
show.

Summer is when white blossoms begin spilling in profusion from among kousa dogwoods (C. kousa) dark green leaves.
These blossoms are especially welcome because they fill the vacuum that follows the burst of color from spring-blooming
trees and shrubs.

PARKING
Continued from page 1
ment plan, the city opted to begin charging
at the former Kinkos and Worker Resource
Center lots at Fifth and Railroad avenues.
Those without monthly parking permits are
now charged 25 cents per hour and can only
pay through an online app or by calling a
toll-free number to provide a credit card.
But not offering a pay station has some
longtime users upset and Deputy Mayor
David Lim said hes concerned about those
who dont use smartphones so he plans to
request a traditional meter be installed as
well.
Using the vendor PayByPhone, the city
plans to roll out the online payment option
to other downtown parking spaces over the
coming months starting with its busy
garages. People would still be able to use
existing pay stations. Online users must
have a valid credit card to create an account
and can feed the meter without having to
return to their cars.
Technology makes it easier to pay for
parking, manage parking and improves the
experience of those visiting downtown San

Mateo, Mayor Joe Goethals said in a press

release. Incorporating PayByPhone and
providing customers with an additional way
to pay for parking is a convenient use of
available technology.
But while paying via a mobile app might
appeal to many, it appears to be problematic or a bit of a nuisance to those seeking to
simply park and go instead of waiting for a
download.
After the holiday weekend, employees of
downtown businesses and shoppers returned
to the commonly used lot with mixed opinions.
Half Moon Bay resident Russ Johnson was
headed to a local hardware store when he
almost turned in to the lot. After noticing a
makeshift sign advertising the new requirements, he opted to park on the street and feed
the meter instead.
Knowing that a quarter doesnt buy much
time nowadays, Johnson agreed using an
app might be more convenient under the
right circumstances.
I think it would be easier, Johnson said.
But I was in a rush and figured Id have to
download an app just to park.
Others were less than thrilled with the
option, particularly as no permanent signs
only two small folded barricades with
paper signs were visible Tuesday had

THE DAILY JOURNAL

been set up to instruct users of the change.

Lee, who preferred not to give his last
name, said hes worked in downtown for
years and was extremely frustrated that he
couldnt pay with cash. Acknowledging he
wasnt very tech savvy and didnt use a smartphone, Lee said being unable to pay in person was confusing as well as inconvenient.
Its wrong. Totally wrong, Lee said. I
dont mind paying the money, but they have
to post [the rules] right.
Irritated, Lee said the city should provide a
grace period and clearly explain the changes
before enforcing the new rules.
City officials planned to conduct outreach
and answer questions at the lots this week to
assist those who need help adjusting to the
implementation of PayByPhone, said
Rebecca Zito, San Mateos communications
and marketing program manager.
Because the lot was previously free of
charge and there werent existing meters, it
would have cost about $10,000 per new station and instituting the PayByPhone
method was determined to be more cost
effective, Zito said.
Furthermore, nearly 85 percent of the lot
is used by monthly permit holders, she
added.
There is little space available for hourly
parking in these two areas. Those not want-

ing to use an app or a credit card to pay for

parking can park in other areas of the downtown where pay stations and meters are
available, Zito said in an email.
The two lots were a focus of the council
when it first considered charging for formerly free parking; they are also the cheapest in
downtown.
Ultimately, these city-owned surface lots
are slated for redevelopment with officials
considering a range of options such as housing, parking or office space.
Lim said the council didnt explicitly discuss only using PayByPhone at the lots so
he planned to talk to staff about installing at
least one pay station. Lim said using smartphone apps are a great way to pay for parking, but hes concerned for seniors or others
who may not feel the same.
Im very sensitive to the fact that there is
sort of a generational gap and a socioeconomic gap, Lim said. Not everyone has a
smartphone and you shouldnt be prohibited
from parking there if you dont have a smartphone.
Eventually, having PayByPhone available throughout downtown in addition to the
pay stations could be a benefit as it provides
more options to users and is outlined in the
citys overall parking management plan,
according to Zito and Lim.

Snazzy staircases
By Melissa Rayworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

We give lots of thought to decorating

rooms but often overlook the staircase,
despite the fact that in many homes its the
first thing people see when they walk in
the door.
Staircase areas can be a great spot to
introduce your personal style, says Brian
Patrick Flynn, who designed HGTVs
Dream Home 2016, the design networks
annual house giveaway.
A bold paint color that might be overpowering in a large living room can be
perfect used on the tiny risers between
steps. And a rug pattern that might seem
kind of wild in a room can add a nice pop
of style when used as a slender runner down
the center of a staircase, says Bethany
Willard, lead designer and founder at the
Pittsburgh-based interior design firm
Studio 1049.
The simplicity of a staircase allows for
a bit of fun, she says.
Here, Flynn, Willard and designer Roric
Tobin of the New York design firm B&T
Global share advice on creating an inviting, stylish staircase that blends with the
rest of a homes decor.

ASSESS THE BANISTER

It doesnt have to be expensive to
replace a boring bannister with something
snappier.
If its something historical that has
beauty, theres no sense in ripping it out,
Tobin says. But if it doesnt serve the
space, change it.

RULES
Continued from page 1
Burlingame for it, she said.
City Attorney Kathleen Kane said as
home renovation and building in
Burlingame has become increasingly common in recent years, more residents have
taken issue with the seemingly ceaseless
sound pollution generated at job sites.
One of the most common complaints has
been from those living near places where
construction crews begin to congregate
early in the morning before starting work,
she said.
Trucks unloading materials before 7
a.m., or workers arriving at a job site and
holding loud conversations will hopefully
become less frequent under the amended
policy, said officials, which could grant
residents more relief from what has been a
source of annoyance for many in residential neighborhoods across the city.
Councilmembers worked to ensure the
policy was not too far reaching though, in
an effort to preserve the ability of property owners to do minor repairs and work on
their home without violating a city ordinance.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg said he

BUILDING
Continued from page 3
students around campus at Buri Buri
Elementary School, as well as complete a
playground and other field work, construction will continue through the end of the
year, according to the timeline.
Concurrently, officials will set the stage
for construction of a new multipurpose
building and library at the campus, with the
expectation to begin construction early
next year which should continue until the
beginning of 2018, according to the timeline.
Officials also hope to begin work on field
grading projects at the school in the second
half of next year, with the expectation of
transitioning into building of portable classrooms for before and after-school programs

Or consider painting or otherwise updating the banister.

Just putting some thought into that
detail, Willard says, can really personalize the space.

SHOWCASE YOUR FAVORITES

Stairwells, often considered dead space,
are ideal for showcasing collections, says
Flynn. I prefer to mix different frames in
a variety of wood finishes and metals, and
then throw in three-dimensional objects as
well to break up the rigid lines.
When all else fails, I say stick with
black-and-white photos, and if youre
using art, pay close attention to how
palettes play between each piece. If you
have 11 pieces and eight of them have similar palettes, maybe use the other three in a
different room.
For an entrance stairway, Tobin suggests
aiming for a look thats appealing but not
overpowering. Perhaps three or four prints
by the same artist, he says, that form a
cohesive, pared-down collection ... not
too distracting.

EMBRACE BOLD
PATTERNS AND COLOR
Tobin recommends using bold, largescale print wall coverings to really draw
your eye up the staircase. Homeowners
often assume that small-print patterns will
look best, he says, but they can be boring.
One option he likes is a flocked wall
covering with some metallic sheen, which
offers warmth and classic style but can also
look contemporary if the print is modern.
supported the new policy, but felt it was
important residents still be allowed to
work on home improvements over a weekend such as rebuilding a fence, or similar
projects which do not require pulling a city
permit.
Councilwoman Emily Beach had suggested property owners who live in their
Burlingame homes and work on projects
without the assistance of a crew be exempted from the amendment, but ultimately
Keighran said she believed such an exception may cause headaches for city officials
attempting to enforce the policy.
Under the councils decision, the permitted construction hours will be similar to
those in nearby communities such as San
Carlos and Belmont, where weekday work
is not allowed to begin until 8 a.m. and
construction is prohibited on holidays,
according to a city report. Belmont also
does not allow work on Sundays, while it is
allowed in San Carlos over a limited portion of the day.
Keighran said she believed the similar
ordinances in nearby cities could serve as a
precedent for Burlingame.
Its not like something outrageous we
are asking for here, she said.
Under the decision, city staff will work
to draft an amended policy and bring it
back for formal approval once the council
in early 2018, according to the timeline.
The proposed construction program would
bring to an end a contentious round of building at Buri Buri Elementary School which
has frustrated some locals.
Earlier this year, tensions generated by
perceptions of inadequate work at the campus came to a head when residents directed
their disgust with the projects toward district officials during a community meeting.
Despite the previous frustrations of residents, Superintendent Shawnterra Moore
said in an email officials will remain committed to keeping the South San Francisco
community educated regarding any development of future plans for the pending projects.
Stakeholder involvement is critical and
important to us; therefore, we will continue
to involve the site leaders and their site
teams throughout the process to ensure we
are inclusive of their feedback and to make
sure they are kept well-informed, she said.

Runners and stair treads are another place to add color or pattern to stairs.
Bold patterns are also great for stair risers (the portion of the stairway perpendicular to the steps). You can stencil a pattern on the risers with paint, which can
easily be painted over if you decide the pattern isnt for you. Or paint them one or
several rich colors.
Willard has a client who chose to paint
her risers in various shades of green
lightest at the top and darkest at the bottom, in a sort of ombre effect.
Flynn is a fan of wallpapering risers,
then covering each one with a sheet of
clear acrylic for durability.
And if youre sure that patterned risers
are for you, go for an even more permanent
approach by adding ceramic tile work in a
reconvenes after its annual summer break,
said Kane.
In other business, Kane explained that
Burlingame police officers have not been
enforcing a law prohibiting people from
sleeping in their cars.
A similar law in Southern California is
being challenged under allegations that it
unfairly discriminates against the poor,
and Burlingame officials have agreed to
postpone applying the ordinance until the
issue is resolved, said Kane.
The ongoing housing crunch and afford-

pattern you love.

BLEND STYLE AND FUNCTION

Runners and stair treads are another place
to add color or pattern.
Stairwell runners in masculine prints
are becoming popular in all sorts of
homes, says Flynn.
And they serve a practical purpose: Bare
wood can look good but be noisy and slippery. Most of Tobins clients opt for stair
runners or treads to eliminate noise.
These are traditionally made of carpet,
but Tobin suggests considering other
materials. For a client in Mexico City, he
added leather stair treads.
ability crisis also influenced the citys
position, as some may struggle to afford
the cost of living locally and officials are
looking to avoid compounding the difficulties residents are experiencing, said
Kane.
As a society, we dont want to criminalize the status of being poor, she said.
Discussion of the issue was scant, but
Brownrigg indicated he believed the decision was sound policy.
Im glad we will not be enforcing this
rule, he said.

RAIL
Continued from page 1
ing to rise and Caltrains electrification plans heavily reliant on funding
from the states controversial highspeed rail project, opponents in the
midst of litigating against the regional transit agency are urging the board
to take pause.
The costly modernization projects
funding draws from a patchwork of
local, regional, state and federal
sources. However, not all of the money
is in hand its plans include relying
on $713 million from high-speed rail
and nearly $647 million in federal
funds that have yet to be awarded.
But Caltrain officials expressed confidence things will line up in the near
future after receiving support from federal transportation officials as well as
the Obama administration. A local legislator also recently proposed a bill to
unencumber high-speed rail funds to
support projects such as Caltrains
electrification.

Keeping the wheels turning

These contracts include design work
that will be of value to the Caltrain
Modernization Program, regardless of
when construction actually starts, said
Caltrain
spokeswoman
Jayme
Ackemann.
We must move forward in some
direction. Our capacity situation is
beyond our ability to continue to serve
without some improvements to this
corridor. And if we dont move forward
with electrification on schedule, then
we will have no way of meeting the
capacity demands that we know are
coming over the next 10 years,
Ackemann said, adding electrification
would provide significant environmental benefits.
The contracts being considered
Thursday are for a limited scope of
work until all of the funding is
secured. The firms must also acknowledge the contracts are contingent on
the approval of the High-Speed Rail
Authority. The Caltrain board is also
considering an agreement with the
authority that it will provide cashflow funding while it awaits availability of voter-approved bonds dedicated to supporting the now estimated
$64 billion state project.
Yet representatives from a group that
filed a lawsuit against Caltrain alleging in part the project is too closely
tied to high-speed rail and its environmental impacts were not thoroughly
vetted, remain staunchly opposed to
electrification proceeding at this time.
Caltrain shouldnt continue until it
has received all of its required funding
and that using any high-speed rail
funds other than Proposition 1A

bonds, would go against the intention

of the voters when they approved $10
billion in bonds for the states first
bullet train, according to the
Transportation Solutions Defense and
Education Fund, or TRANSDEF.
Theres no way to know if theyll
get the funding they need. They have
picked a design that is all or nothing,
if they dont get all the funding they
need, they dont have a future, said
TRANSDEF
President
David
Schonbrunn, adding less than 50 percent of the funds are currently available. You dont go commit funding on
a $2 billion project based on hope.
Thats incredibly irresponsible.

Clarifying or defying?
Schonbrunn noted that Caltrain
which has insisted electrification does
not inherently clear the way for highspeed rail as the state project must
undergo its own environmental review
isnt able to access the bonds
required to be spent only on projects
resulting in a bullet train-ready segment.
But local transit officials disagree
and contend the electrification project
would be immensely beneficial regardless if high-speed rail ultimately traverses its tracks.
Caltrain and high-speed rail became
intertwined when the two agreed to
share the tracks running along the
Peninsula, a move later codified by
legislation requiring about $600 million in voter-approved bonds be spent
on electrifying the corridor.
Yet the high-speed rail funds have
been tied up as the state transit authority fended off multiple lawsuits. With
Caltrain hoping to remain on schedule
and increase ridership capacity,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, proposed a bill to clarify high-speed rail doesnt need to be
up and running before funds can be
allocated.
Essentially, the bill could allow
Caltrain to tap into the state funding
regardless of high-speed rails status.
The
bill
passed
a
Senate
Transportation
and
Housing
Committee by a 6-4 vote last month
and will be considered by the Senate

Appropriations Committee next.

High-speed rail has also shifted its
focus further north; recently announcing it would begin an environmental
review of its segment that includes the
Peninsula.
The Legislature authorized spending
$1.1 billion on projects at either end
of the high-speed rail line and
Ackemann emphasized Mullins bill
clarifies lawmakers true intent.
The purpose of the early investment was not to make our project highspeed rail ready, but to do things (such
as electrification) that would be significant improvements on our corridor
that would be of use to the high-speed
rail project when they do come to our
corridor, Ackemann said.
Schonbrunn disagrees. Although his
group would like to see an improved
Caltrain corridor that can support
increased ridership, the tie to highspeed rail is disconcerting, he said.
Electrification without considering
high-speed rail leaves out all the
issues about traffic, grade separations,
etcetera that come when you add more
trains per hour, Schonbrunn said.

Fifty-one miles of electrification

The entire modernization program
includes electrifying more than 51
miles of track from San Francisco to
San Jose, installing a new federallymandated control system and purchasing new trains. Officials hope to be 75
percent complete by 2020. By 2040,
the new system is expected to host
111,000 daily commuters nearly
double its current ridership while
reducing 176, 000 metric tons of
greenhouse gas emissions each year.
The cost of making electrification a
reality has swelled over the years from
less than $1.5 billion to nearly $2.2
billion and possibly more. Thursdays
contracts include spending more than
$700 million to hire Balfour Beatty
Infrastructure Inc. to first design the
project, then have the firm construct it
once the state and federal funds are
secured. Caltrain may also spend more
than $550 million on new trains
designed and procured by Stradler U.S.
Inc., with similar provisions for a limited scope of work.
The reason were going forward
now with the contracts is we dont
want to delay work on the project any
more than is necessary, Ackemann
said, later adding, Ive never heard of
a situation where a major construction
project was delayed and as a result of
the delay, the cost went down.
Thats why we want to adhere to the
schedule as best as we possibly can.

petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.

and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an

court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
