County tops state test scores

Despite local successes, school officials claim room for growth remains
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Students in elementary and high

schools throughout San Mateo
County earned considerably higher
scores on the newly implemented
state standardized test system than
others across rest of the state, drawing the acclaim of local officials.
According to results of the

Smarter Balanced test, released

Wednesday, Sept. 9, 56 percent of
San Mateo County public school
students met or exceeded test proficiency standards in the English language arts and literacy portion of
the test, and 48 percent met or
exceeded the mathematics standards.
Those marks surpassed the state
average by 12 percent in English

language arts and literacy and 15

percent in mathematics, which is
indicative of the local emphasis on
importance of quality education,
said Assemblyman Rich Gordon, DMenlo Park.
In San Mateo County, we have
always had a very high value on
education, he said. We have some
great districts, and our teachers
have been doing a very good job.

Third- through 11th-graders

throughout the state took Smarter
Balanced tests for the first time officially last spring, as the exams are
designed to be more aligned with
the recently implemented Common
Core curriculum standards, and
mark a shift away from the
Standardized
Testing
and
Reporting, or STAR, system.
General results were released last

week for state school districts, and

individual student results will be
mailed to parents in the next few
weeks.
But despite the local successes,
Gordon, who is hosting a conference with state and local education
officials Saturday, Sept. 19, at

Dog park unleashed

San Carlos City Hall site for new doggie playland

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

They say all dogs go to heaven but

Monday they got a little slice of it right
here on Earth as dozens of canines
roamed free at San Carlos City Hall
Park.
Some described the park, now dedi-

cated to off-leash dogs, as pooch paradise. Parks and Recreation Director

Christine Boland led a ribbon-cutting
of the park at 5 p.m. as about 100 people showed up with their dogs.
Its been about nine months since
dogs were allowed to roam free at a
city park after a pilot program ended at
Burton and Highlands parks last year.

There was too much competition

between dogs and their owners and
residents who use the parks athletic
fields.
Monday, Boland thanked residents
on both sides of the issue for being
patient as the city found the right

Thought for the Day

It is a curious thought, but it is only
when you see people looking ridiculous that
you realise just how much you love them.
Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976)

This Day in History

1940

During the World War II Battle of

Britain, the tide turned as the Royal Air
Force inflicted heavy losses upon the
Luftwaffe.

In 1789, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs was renamed

the Department of State.
In 1857, William Howard Taft who served as President of
the United States and as U.S. chief justice was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
In 1890, English mystery writer Agatha Christie was born in
Torquay.
In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their
citizenship.
In 1950, during the Korean conflict, United Nations forces
landed at Incheon in the south and began their drive toward
Seoul.
In 1955, the novel Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov, was first
published in Paris.
In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off
during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in
Birmingham, Alabama. (Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.)
In 1965, the TV shows Lost in Space and Green Acres premiered on CBS.
In 1972, a federal grand jury in Washington indicted seven
men in connection with the Watergate break-in.
In 1985, Nike began selling its Air Jordan 1 sneaker.
In 1994, a tape recording of John Lennon singing with his
teen-age band, The Quarrymen, in a Liverpool club on July 6,
1957, was sold at Sothebys for $122,500 (it was at this gig that
Lennon first met Paul McCartney).
In 2000, the 2000 Summer Olympics opened in Sydney,
Australia, with a seemingly endless parade of athletes and
coaches and a spectacular display; Aborigine runner Cathy
Freeman ignited an Olympic ring of fire.

who said they endured sexual harassment that included groping, propositions
and an unwanted lap dance.
In a consent decree approved Friday
in federal court, VXI Global Solutions
settled a federal civil rights lawsuit
brought by the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission on behalf of
six women and three men.
Women were groped, propositioned
for sex and subjected to lewd comments
about their bodies in behavior that dated
back five years, the EEOC said.
Comments were made about having a
threesome with a worker and someone
joked about raping a colleague.
At least seven of the employees who
complained were fired after being intimidated or disciplined, officials said.
The company, which has 15,000
employees in the U.S., Asia and Latin
America, did not admit wrongdoing in
the settlement.
The EEOC said when the suit was
filed last year that it was unusual to have
sexual harassment directed at both men
and women.
Female supervisors made repeated
sexual advances toward the men, provided unwanted backrubs and, in one
instance, tried to perform a lap dance,
the lawsuit said.
When men spurned the attention, their
sexual orientation was questioned, the
agency said.
A lawyer for the company did not
immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

MIDDLETOWN Earlier this summer, this

small mountain town north of San Francisco
opened its modest high school to residents fleeing an unusually ferocious wildfire nearby.
Now it is Middletown itself that has been
evacuated and gutted by another blaze
that shocked firefighters with its strength and
speed.
The towns small cluster of shops and cafes
was spared, but behind them erratic winds sent
flames zigzagging down leafy streets, torching
some houses and sparing others. On Monday,
some residents returned to find their homes
reduced to concrete foundations, chimney
stacks and rubble.
One woman wept and embraced her mother
as they stood among blackened appliances and
twisted metal where their family home used to
be. Nearby, beige houses trimmed in white
remained untouched.
Im in shock. I want to cry. Im looking at
my neighbors places, and theyre all gone, and
Im still here, homeowner Jim Maurer said.
Were just shaking our heads.
Over the weekend, the blaze killed an elderly,
disabled woman identified by her family as
retired teacher Barbara McWilliams, 72.
McWilliams had settled in the Middletown
area in the last year, her family said. Her caretaker, Jennifer Hittson, told the Santa Rosa
Press Democrat (http://bit.ly/1Kbct8I )
McWilliams had advanced multiple sclerosis
and had major physical disabilities that limited
her ability to walk. She died trapped in her
home.

Republicans are seeking a state
audit into how money from a green
energy ballot initiative is being
spent.
They cite an Associated Press

1,700 jobs have been created in the

Proposition 39 after voters were told
it would create 11,000 jobs annually.
The measure closed a corporate

half the money given to schools so
far has gone to planning, consultants
and energy audits.
Seventeen Assembly Republicans

White House rolling out

the red carpet for pope
By Darlene Superville

Barack Obama answers questions during a town hall meeting to discuss college access and affordability in Des Moines, Iowa.

In Iowa, president looking to

leave his imprint on 2016 race
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa President

Barack Obama wont be on the ballot in
2016, but on Monday he showed hes
looking for ways to put his imprint on
the race to succeed him.
On a visit to Iowa, the state that will
have the first say in winnowing the presidential field, Obama drew sharp contrasts between Democratic policies and
those of Republicans seeking to reclaim
the White House. He was especially
blistering on immigration, an emotional
issue that has roiled the GOP.
This whole anti-immigrant sentiment
thats out there in our politics right now
is contrary to who we are, Obama said

during a town hall at Des Moines North

High School.
Officially, Obama came to Iowa to
announce plans to let aspiring college
students apply for federal financial aid
earlier. But from the start of his question-and-answer session, it was clear the
election was on his mind.
I know you guys are all about to be
flooded with ads and calls from a bunch
of folks who want this job, Obama said
in his opening remarks. He jokingly
added, I just cant imagine what kind of
person would put themselves through
something like that.
Asked by one participant for his views
on the 2016 candidates education policies, Obama said he wouldnt tell anyone who to vote for at least not right

now; later I will.

Still, he criticized congressional
Republicans for wanting to keep broad
domestic budget cuts in place and urged
voters not to back candidates who blame
teachers for problems in education, a
slap at Republicans who have fought
teachers unions
A young woman volunteering for
Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic
front-runner, tried to pull Obama into his
own partys primary fight. She asked the
president whether he thought a proposal
from Clintons top challenger, Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders, to make education
at public universities free was realistic.
Without mentioning Sanders, Obama
plugged his own proposal for free tuition
at two-year community colleges.

WASHINGTON When Pope Francis arrives on his firstever visit to the United States, he will be welcomed in a way
that few world leaders have: with President
Barack Obama waiting at the bottom of the
airplane stairs to greet him.
The extraordinary gesture on Sept. 22 is
just the beginning of the pomp and protocol that Washington will put on display to
welcome the popular leader of the worlds
1.2 billion Roman Catholics and the head
of Vatican City.
The next day, Francis will be just the
Pope Francis
third pope to visit the White House, being
greeted as most heads of state are, with his car pulling slowly
up the South Lawns driveway to the spot where a red carpet
will be rolled out and Obama and his wife, Michelle, will be
waiting.
Thousands of invited guests, including many Catholics, will
also be waiting on the lawn to welcome Francis.

Local brief
Man with shotgun shot by police in court
A South San Francisco man with a shotgun who allegedly
wanted to commit suicide by cop will be in court Tuesday facing charges of brandishing a firearm and resisting an officer,
according to the San Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
Mike Gordon, 55, was shot by an officer Aug. 30 after a resident saw him walking near the intersection of Del Monte and
Romney avenues carrying a shotgun, according to prosecutors.
When contacted by a police officer, Gordon allegedly
refused his commands and pointed the shotgun at the officer,
according to prosecutors.
He then allegedly told the officer to shoot him, according
to prosecutors.
The officer shot him in his right side and Gordon dropped
the shotgun, according to prosecutors.
He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and was put
on a psychiatric hold, according to prosecutors.
The shotgun was not loaded and Gordon had allegedly tried
to kill himself previously, according to prosecutors.

EFFORTS
Continued from page 1
change to deterring overuse of antibiotics in
livestock and promoting pipeline safety, a broad
range of topics were up for debate during the
first half of Californias two-year legislative
session. Gov. Jerry Brown has until Oct. 11 to
sign or veto dozens of bills the local representatives pushed through both houses of the
Legislature.
To get a piece of legislation passed, you
need to have, candidly, as little opposition as
possible. So you try to work with various interest groups to see if you can reach consensus.
But its not always possible, said Gordon, who
proposed 19 bills this year, six of which are
pending Browns signature.
Balancing the concerns of stakeholders
from industry representatives and lobbyists to
consumer activist groups can be a challenge
for lawmakers and each local representative had
items that didnt garner enough votes this session.
Gordon said hes most proud of two bills currently awaiting Browns signature; one is to
ensure patients, particularly those with HIV or

AIDS, have access to outpatient prescription medications by capping what

insurance companies can
charge for copays by having how out-of-pocket
maximums
distributed
throughout the year.
The other is a bill aimed
at ensuring state agencies
Jerry Hill
prepare to adapt to climate
change predictions by
updating the Safeguarding California Plan
every three years, Gordon said.
This year, Mullin created an election reform
package that included bills to promote validation of mail-in-ballots to ensure votes are counted. Mullins signature election bill aims to offer
a state-funded recount for any statewide office,
state ballot measure or presidential election
with a low victory margin.
These bills will improve confidence in our
election system, Mullin wrote in an email.
Many recall the controversy which arose in
2014 following the tally of the state controllers

reduce the number of legitimate vote-by-mail

Opting to continue tackling the increase in antibiotic resistant infections that

kill an estimated 23,000
people a year, Hill said hes
thrilled to have the
Legislature approve a bill
aimed at curbing the rampant use of antibiotics in
livestock or farm animals
Rich Gordon by requiring veterinary
oversight.
Its the first in the country that will restrict
what has been extensive overuse of antibiotics
in farm animals that have contaminated our
food chain, which now were seeing the effects
of with the antibiotic resistant bacteria that are
killing people and sickening millions more,
Hill said.
Hill, who has 20 of the 30 bills he proposed
this year awaiting Browns signature, said hes
also extremely pleased his efforts to maintain
citizens privacy are progressing through bills
concerning law enforcements use of license
plate readers and cellphone interceptors.

Continuing efforts
With technological advancements becoming
difficult to keep up with, Hill said hed like to
consider a law next year that promotes overarching privacy rights and civil liberties in the
digital age.
Hill said he is disappointed by the failure of a
proposal to ban Pacific Gas and Electric from
claiming a tax deduction for its fines related to
the San Bruno pipeline explosion that cost nine
people their lives.
Im so disgusted with PG&E for a number
of reasons and as more is revealed and the
hypocrisy of their media campaign and the
money they spent lobbying to kill the bill that
would hold them basically responsible for the
penalty, Hill said, adding he and many legislators plan to send a letter to the Franchise Tax
Board and Board of Equalization to deny
deductibility because of the [Public Utilities
Commission]s clear statements and articulation
that it was a penalty and should be treated as
such.
Mullin said he plans to continue his work on
Assembly Bill 45, which would have required
local jurisdictions to divert or reduce household

spot for the dogs.
The sheer number of dogs at the park showed
how much of a demand there is for play space,
said Faten Barranti, who brought her dog Harlo
to the park for some socialization.
I think the city recognizes the need, Barranti
said.
Mayor Ron Collins said having the park at
City Hall was unique to San Carlos.
Who would have thought that after looking
all over town that we finally found a park in our
own front yard of City Hall, Collins said.
City Manager Jeff Maltbie even brought his
black Labrador to the grand opening.
We are delighted to be finally offering the
residents of San Carlos a place to recreate with
their four-legged family members. City Hall
Park receives very few daily visitors and goes
mostly unused. Its lack of use and central location made it an obvious choice for the Parks and
Recreation Commission who recommended to
the City Council its use be converted for an offleash dog area, Maltbie wrote in an email. The
city will be cracking down on off-leash dog use

hazardous waste from landfills and waterways. Aimed
at increasing participation
in diversion programs, the
bill stagnated in appropriations and Mullin said he
hopes to proceed with the
issue next year. Mullin proposed a total of 23 bills
with seven either signed by
Kevin Mullin the governor or awaiting
his signature.
For the second time, Mullins proposal to create a temporary license plate system ensuring
all vehicles can be identified by police and pay
bridge tolls also stalled. Trying to strike a balance between the interests of consumer advocacy groups, law enforcement and car dealers;
Mullin said issues were raised including the
cost of the program but he plans to continue
working the bill over the break and pushing it,
as well as the hazardous waste bill, forward
next year.
Gordon, for whom 2016 will mark his final
year in the Legislature as hell be termed out
after six years of service, said he plans to proceed with work on his bill aimed at addressing
vehicle recalls.
Like Mullins license plate bill, Gordon
sought to balance the interests of consumer
groups while finding a solution by which dealers or manufacturers could abide.
Gordons bill would have required used car
dealers and rental companies to at minimum
disclose whether a recall has been issued before
selling a car. But with the recent Takata air bag
recall impacting millions of vehicles overnight,
Gordon said the complex issue needs more consideration of both practical limitations and how
to effectively protect drivers from dangerous
conditions.
With the regular session in recess until
January, Gordon noted 2015 was just the first in
a two-year session that will allow legislators to
continue their efforts. In his final year, Gordon
said he plans to abide by his principled
approach to government.
What Im really looking forward to, is continuing to work with the same intensity that Ive
had, Gordon said. And to continue to try and
focus on what I think is real common sense legislation.

Dogs will now have two places to roam free in
the city as a former childrens playground area at

The area is currently underutilized for its
intended purpose due to its isolated location,
lack of amenities and maintenance, however,
and has recently been closed in the mornings.

The dog group preferred Arguello and City
Hall Park, which was not on the original list of

Diane Montgomery lamented the loss of

meeting at the Xtreme Manufacturing warehouse in Las Vegas.

Fierce response to Walker plan to

eliminate federal public unions
By Scott Bauer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Wis. Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker is hoping to pull

his campaign off the mat by taking on unions
a familiar foe for the Wisconsin governor
in a sweeping plan to upend pillars of
organized labor nationwide.
Walkers plan calls for eliminating unions
for employees of the federal government,
making all workplaces right-to-work unless
individual states vote otherwise and scrapping
the federal agency that oversees unfair labor
practices.
Union leaders are livid. Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees
Union that represents 150,000 federal workers, said Walker is declaring a war on middleclass workers. And Democratic presidential
contender Hillary Rodham Clinton accused
him of bullying union members.
One of Walkers Republican rivals challenged the plan, too, saying it is the wrong
message for the GOP to send to unionized
workers. Instead of treating all union members like they are the enemy, said former
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, its time we
invite them to give some of us in our party a
try.
In an interview with the Associated Press on
Monday, Walker said no one should be surprised.
I think people would be shocked if the governor who took on big government special
interests wouldnt do it at the federal level,

Walker said by telephone as he waited to

board a plane to Nevada.
In his speech spelling out his Power to the
People proposal at a Las Vegas manufacturer,
Walker said he didnt back down against
union protesters in Wisconsin and he was
ready for the national fight.
Collective bargaining is not a right, it is an
expensive entitlement, he said, speaking with
his sleeves rolled up, in between a pair of
oversized construction vehicles and in front of
a large American flag.
The move comes as Walker tries to gain
traction heading into the second GOP presidential debate, being held Wednesday in
California. A weak performance in the first
debate and a series of missteps has contributed
to his tumble from the polls after his strong
start months ago.
I think its a good move, said Richard
Schwarm, a former GOP chairman in the early
caucus state of Iowa who is uncommitted in
the 2016 race. It gets a lot of attention on him
in the next day or two.
Walker won nationwide recognition for
eviscerating public-sector unions in
Wisconsin and becoming the first governor to
prevail in a recall election, which followed
huge protests against his anti-union steps.
Now hes proposing to go national with an
effort to curb union clout.
Its reminding people of the reason they
liked us in the first place, Walker said in the
interview, brushing aside with laughter a question about whether the move was a sign of
desperation.

Sanders courts Christian

conservative students
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LYNCHBURG, Va. In an unlikely

appearance at a prominent Christian university, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie
Sanders said Monday the massive injustice
of income and wealth inequality should unite
people across the political spectrum.
From the outset, Sanders noted in his speech
at Liberty University that he believed in
womens rights and gay marriage, drawing
some cheers but mostly tepid applause in the
cavernous Vines Center, where the school regularly assembles during the week. But the
Vermont senator said the problems of wealth
inequality and economic justice showed that
maybe, just maybe, we can try to work
together to resolve that.
It would be hard to make the case that we
are a just society or anything resembling a just
society today, Sanders said at the influential
Christian college in Virginia that usually
draws Republican presidential candidates. In

the United States of

America today, there is
massive injustice in terms
of income and wealth
inequality.
His pitch was met with
scattered applause and
many students sat politely
with their arms folded durBernie Sanders ing his appearance, declining to clap.
In a question-and-answer session, the student body erupted when Liberty senior vice
president David Nasser noted that many students felt children in the womb need our protection. Sanders defended abortion rights,
acknowledging it was an area where we disagree, but said it should not be a decision dictated by the government.
I do understand and I do believe that it is
improper for the United States government or
state government to tell every woman in this
country the very painful and difficult choice that
she has to make on that issue, Sanders said.

MOREHEAD, Ky. Kim Davis returned to

work Monday for the first time since she was
jailed for defying a federal
court and announced that
she would no longer block
her deputies from issuing
marriage licenses to samesex couples.
Standing at the courthouse door, the Kentucky
county clerk read from a
handwritten statement and
Kim Davis
explained in a quivering
voice that she had been faced with a seemingly impossible choice between following her
conscience and losing her freedom.
So she agreed to an emergency stopgap
concession, her lawyer later said: She did not
stop her deputy clerk from issuing licenses
edited to remove her name, her title and her
authorization. But, she said, she had grave
concerns that the licenses would be invalid
without her blessing. The only couple to
receive a license on Monday walked into a
surreal scene. Shannon and Carmen WamplerCollins squeezed through a throng of reporters
and protesters and stood at the counter, microphones bobbing above their heads.

Police seek suspect in

Mississippi slayings 300 miles apart
CLEVELAND, Miss. A college instructor is suspected in the fatal shootings of a
woman he lived with on the Mississippi Gulf
Coast and a Delta State University professor
300 miles away, police said Monday.
Terrified students and teachers hunkered down
in classrooms for hours as the Delta State campus
was put on lockdown that was lifted hours later.
Investigators were searching late Monday for
Shannon Lamb, 45, as a suspect in the slayings
of 41-year-old Amy Prentiss, who was found
dead in the home she shared with Lamb in
Gautier; and 39-year-old Ethan Schmidt, a history professor who was killed in his own office
on campus in Cleveland, Mississippi.
Officers in the two cities said they had not
uncovered a motive for either slaying.
Cleveland Police Chief Charles Buster
Bingham said Lamb was considered armed and
dangerous but was not believed to be on campus as of Monday evening, hours after Schmidt
was slain.
Lamb received a doctorate in education from
Delta State University in the spring of 2015,
according to his resume posted on the universitys website.

China issues new blueprint on

overhauling bloated industry
By Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Smoke billows from a Houthi-controlled military base after a Saudi-led air strike hit its weapons depots in Yemens
capital Sanaa.

BEIJING Chinas Communist

Party issued a long-awaited blueprint for overhauling bloated state
industries while retaining the partys
dominance in the economy.
The government of President Xi
Jinping is under pressure to reverse
an economic slowdown and reduce
reliance on trade and investment to
drive growth. Communist leaders
have promised to give entrepreneurs
and market forces a bigger role but
say state ownership will remain the
core of the economy.
The plan issued late Sunday
reflects the complex path the party
walks in trying to develop the
worlds second-largest economy

while preserving its monopoly on

power.
It calls for state companies to face
more free-market competition,
become financially self-supporting
and be divided into commercial entities and those that serve social purposes. It gives no details of how
individual companies will be treated
and no timetable but promises a
decisive outcome by 2020.
Rather than reducing the partys
role, the plan says Beijing will
strengthen party leadership of
state companies.
The plan promises to promote
mixed ownership, the party term
for allowing outside investors to buy
stakes in state companies, but gives
no indication whether they would be
allowed any management control.

Emirati troops pushing toward

rebel-held capital Sanaa in Yemen Okinawas governor threatens to
revoke approval to move U.S. base
By Adam Schreck
and Maeva Bambuck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORWARD OPERATING BASE

SAFFER, Yemen As fighting
rages on in Yemen, troops from the
United Arab Emirates that are part
of a Saudi-led coalition battling
Shiite rebels are pushing toward the
countrys rebel-held capital, Sanaa,
after securing a strategic provincial
city, the commander of an Emirati
contingent said Monday.
They hope their campaign will
push the rebels out and help restore
Yemens legitimate government.
Emirati Brig. Gen. Ali Saif al-Kaabi
told reporters during a visit to an

Emirati base inside Yemen that the

coalition forces were not coming to
occupy Yemen.
The Emiratis are part of thousands of Saudi and UAE forces
fighting on the ground in Yemen to
reverse the territorial gains by the
Iran-backed rebels known as
Houthis, who captured Sanaa last
year and much of the countrys
north. The Saudi-led coalition
launched its campaign of airstrikes
against the Houthis in March.
The presence of troops from the
oil-rich Gulf states could be a gamechanger in the bitter war that pits the
Houthis and troops loyal to former
President Ali Abdullah Saleh
against an array of forces, including

southern separatists, local and tribal

militias, Sunni Islamic militants as
well as troops loyal to exiled
President Abed Rabbo Mansour
Hadi.
Pro-government forces recently
pushed the Houthis out of several
key southern areas in Yemen. The
conflict has killed more than 4,000
people, leaving the Arab worlds
poorest country in the grip of a
humanitarian crisis and on the brink
of famine.
On Monday, al-Kaabi told media
crews during an exclusive visit to
UAE troops fighting on the ground
in Yemen, that the Saudi-led coalition has secured the city of Marib,
the capital of Marib province.

TOKYO Okinawas governor

said Monday that he was preparing
to revoke approval for work needed
to relocate a U.S. military air base
from one area of the southern
Japanese island to another, just days
after the work was restarted.
Local residents are upset at having to live alongside U.S. Marine
Air Station Futenma, and there are
plans to move it to a less-developed
area on Okinawa called Henoko.
But the locals say the relocation
only moves the burden elsewhere,

and they want the base moved off

the island entirely.
Gov. Takeshi Onaga, elected last
year on promises to fight the move,
said that approval given in 2013 by
his predecessor for landfill work has
legal defects and that he has
begun the process to cancel it.
We will take all possible measures to block base construction in
Henoko, and this is the first step,
Onaga said at a news conference at
his office in the prefectural capital
of Naha, indicating that he is set for
a legal battle with Japans central
government.

Letters to the editor

The power of faith

and the leader of the church. Pope

Francis is a wonderful breath of fresh air
for all Catholics hear him!

never imagined the prospect of witnessing my oldest

brother Franklin succumb to a brain aneurysm on
Christmas Day. Sadly, that was the frightful circumstance just five years ago. The doctor attempted to comfort
my family with words of encouragement, but I knew from
the loss of a prior loved one that brain aneurysms have an
exceedingly high fatality rate. By now, most of my family
understood from the doctor that at best, Franklin would be
in a vegetative state for the remainder of his life that is,
if he managed to survive at all.
Never before had I witnessed
my mother pray with such purpose. She began to quote biblical scriptures from memory
among them, Isaiah 53:5 a
scripture that declares that God
has the utmost power to heal
any physical ailment or condition. My family firmly gripped
hands and formed a circle
around what appeared to be my
brothers deathbed. We each
Jonathan Madison
urged God to cease the bleeding
and trauma within his brain and to restore the strength and
cognition in his body.
Anxiously awaiting the result four hours later, the doctor
approached us from the emergency room with a look of
deep perplexity. The bleeding has stopped with time,
he can recover, he said. It was a joy that I cannot fully
explain in materialistic terms to know that my brothers
existence could continue in spite of a potentially fatal condition. To this day, doctors cannot explain how my brother
managed to recover within in a mere two weeks time a
miraculously short time frame.
There are some that will say as I do that this was an
act of God. There are others who might call it a mere coincidence. At the end of the day, the preservation of the life
of my beloved older brother is what is most important to
me and I celebrate each day he is here with us. Still, there
is no doubt in my mind that our perseverant prayers and
faith for Franklins recovery significantly strengthened his
odds of survival.
The inspiration for this column was drawn from the sentiments of friends and fellow readers of the Daily Journal
who have responded ambivalently to my accounts of the
importance of my faith in my daily life. As such, I would
like to speak directly to why I continue to write about it.
In my experience, there has never before been a more
difficult and unpopular time for believers in religious faith
particularly Christianity than in this moment.
According to the Pew Research Center, within the last
decade alone, our nations Christian share of adults fell
sharply from 78 percent to 70 percent. With that, the
divorce rate continues to increase year after year. The rise
of ISIS and its countless militant beheadings and relentless
assault on Christians throughout the Middle East have
played a critical role.
Historically, many have used religious dogma for selfserving and unjust purposes. Some have fundamentally
taken religious doctrine out of context to perpetrate discrimination against subgroups. Most importantly, many
believers in Christian faith today often place more effort in
casting judgment on those who do not conform to biblical
text, rather than embracing others with the most important
message of unconditional love, mercy and grace that God
has for each of us.
In spite of humanitys shortcomings in religious faith,
one cannot deny that Christianity and other faiths have
governed a moral guide and set of principles by which we
can love our greatest enemies, provide hope to the hopeless, and to see paths where there are no roads. Most
importantly, some religious doctrines have given people a
means and direction by which to channel an unconditional
love for others. This, I would argue, is the most important
reason for which we exist.
One thing is certain faith was the only flashlight I
had to light the darkest hours in that emergency room with
the prospect of my brothers death. It is my faith in God
that enables me to believe, as the Apostle Paul said 2
Corinthians 5:7 that we walk by faith and not by
sight. I truly believe as stated in Matthew 17:20, that having faith the size of a mustard seed can allow each of us to
move even the highest mountains of trials and tribulation.
As such, in the coming weeks, I invite the readers of the
Daily Journal who have experienced a time in their life
when their faith has provided a light for a dark path to
write a letter to the Daily Journal and share your personal
story.

District, not
countywide, elections
Editor,
The insightful and ever-true letter
from Guy Guerrero (Voters want
school board elections by District in
the Sept. 9 edition of the Daily Journal)
resonates with the silent majority who
will vote this Nov. 3 for various countywide and local elective ofces.
With countywide elections for the San
Mateo County Community College
District Board of Trustees and the Board
of Education, many voters cannot truly
elect their real, representative trustees
nor supervisors. Democracy dictates that
voters have the last say, but we as a
democratic society have failed when the
uneven playing eld prevents worthy
candidates who are without deep pockets to run a campaignwide election.
Lets be fair and allow districtwide
races for our elected representatives,
who will govern our educational institutions and schools. If Measure B legally
set the rules for supervisor elections,
then why not for county school and college district trusteeships?

Wheres the proof?

Editor,
Regarding the Sept. 14 letter,
Respect all faiths and beliefs by
Father John L. Greene, I notice Greene
didnt say that Dorothy Dimitres Aug.
26 column was inaccurate, he just didnt
like her choice of words.
I dont think she was trying to be
polite but factual. There isnt much
chance of serious discussions about
faith and belief if one party starts out
being offended by factual information.
People of faith dont abandon all
rational thought, except when it comes
to their god fantasy. Perhaps if they
would provide some scientic evidence
of the existence of their god some
respect would be in order and discussions could be pursued. Although after
2,000+ years of nothing more than the
musings of philosophers and apologists
and clergy with vested interests, I am
not hopeful. And, quite frankly, my tolerance has been exhausted. Wheres the
proof?

Is it time to relook at
the 14th Amendment?
Editor,
Donald Trumps popularity leaves
many shaking their heads in disbelief
and some believe it is proof that the
cumulative IQ of our country is declining. However, if you throw enough
ideas against the wall, some of them
may stick. Such is the case with his suggestion of abandoning the 14th
Amendments statement that anyone
born in this country is automatically a
citizen a concept known as jus soli
and found only in the Americas.
The 14th Amendment was ratied
after the Civil War in 1868 and was
designed to deal with the citizenship of
former slaves. It was not designed to
deal with the issue that we face today
where non-citizens come across the border and deliver a child at taxpayers
expense and that child automatically is a
U.S. citizen. I think many in our country
are frustrated by this policy. Amending
the language of the 14th Amendment to
read born from individuals legally
residing in the United States would satisfy the majority.

Buy a cop a cup

Editor,
In a time when most news about law
enforcement is negative, Id like to start
a new positive trend. I call it Buy a
Cop a Cup. Its a very simple concept.
The next time you see a member of
the law enforcement community waiting
in line to get a cup of coffee (or any
other beverage), purchase it for them. A
small, simple gesture like that can go a
long way to show support for them.
Every time a member of the law
enforcement community puts on their
uniform and kisses their loved ones
goodbye, it could be the last time.
Lets all do the right thing and show
them that they are respected and appreciated by those they are sworn to protect
and serve.

speaks and further punish the working
poor.
I am privileged. I have a college education, a well-paying job and a nice
home. I support charities which help the
poor, vote for candidates and issues
which help the poor, support a wage
which enables people to survive and
thrive and am concerned about issues
such as the housing costs here. Do not
dare to group me with your ctitious
rich. I suggest that anybody who supports the Republican platform is the real
enemy of the poor.

We need to help
the Syrian refugees
Editor,
Did anyone see the widely circulated
news accounts and pictures of the little
Syrian refugee boy washed up dead on a
Turkish beach after he and his brother
fell out of a boat? For the love of God,
we need to do our part to help immediately, and in the longer term, by resettling a portion. A similar situation
occurred at the advent of World War II
when many countries,including the
United States, turned their back on
Jewish refugees eeing Hitlers Europe.
Instead of eeing gas ovens, its beheading at the hands of ISIS for these
refugees. Of course, as were the Jews,
these refugees are a different religion
than the majority of us. Perhaps it would
be best to express our regrets about the
situation, and hope that thousands more
little boys and girls dont wash up on
those beaches.

NEW YORK More signs of slowing economic growth in China weighed

on companies that produce raw materials
on Monday, pulling the stock market to a
slight loss. Trading was light as investors
looked ahead to a much-anticipated
Federal Reserve meeting later this week.
Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for the Commonwealth Financial
Network, said the market was likely to
drift until the Fed wraps up its meeting
on Thursday. Everybody is waiting to
see what happens when and if the Fed
raises rates.
Until recently, many in the markets
thought that the Fed would raise its
benchmark interest rate at the end of its
two-day meeting on Thursday. Now,
opinions are split. Some analysts suggest
Chinas slower economy and turbulence
in financial markets might prompt the
Fed to postpone its first rate increase
since 2006. But the Feds deputy chairman, Stanley Fischer, recently said he
saw a pretty strong case for raising
rates.
Major U.S. indexes opened higher,
then quickly changed course. They sank
slowly through the rest of the morning
and remained lower through the remainder of the day. Miners and other materials companies had some of the biggest
losses. Metals companies Alcoa and
Nucor dropped 3 percent, while

Apple: Latest iPhones sales

may surpass other models
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Preorders for its latest

iPhone have been so strong that Apple expects
to surpass last years record, when it sold 10
million phones during the first weekend.
Apple began taking preorders for the iPhone
6s and iPhone 6s Plus on Saturday.
The new models, which go on sale Sept. 25,
have more memory and faster processors,
along with a new 12 mega-pixel camera.
The phones have not gone up in price, but
last years record-selling iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
models will now sell for $100 less.
As many customers noticed, the online
demand for iPhone 6s Plus has been exceptionally strong and exceeded our own forecasts for the preorder period, Apple said. We

are working to catch up as quickly as we can,

and we will have iPhone 6s Plus as well as
iPhone 6s units available at Apple retail stores
when they open next Friday.
The iPhone is still Apples most important
product. Sales of the iconic smartphone contributed more than two-thirds of the
Cupertino, California, companys $107 billion
in revenue during the first half of 2015.
The newest product from Apple arrives as
smartphone sales slow globally, with so many
people already carrying them.
But researchers at IDC, an industry data
provider, say that iPhone sales are growing
faster those of its rival, Android. IDC expects
iPhone shipments to grow by 16 percent this
year, while it estimates Android phones will
grow only 10 percent.

Everybody is waiting to see what

happens when and if the Fed raises rates.
Brad McMillan, chief investment
officer for the Commonwealth Financial Network

Freeport-McMoRan lost 2 percent.

The Standard & Poors 500 index lost
8.02 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at
1,953.03.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gave up 62.13 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16,370.96, and the Nasdaq composite
fell 16.58 points, or 0.3 percent, to
4,805.76.
Apple reported strong demand for its
latest iPhones, driving its stock up. The
tech giant said that initial sales of the
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are on
track to beat the tally from last year,
when it sold a record 10 million largescreen iPhones during the first weekend.
Apple climbed $1.10, or 1 percent, to

Google names auto veteran

to lead self-driving car push
Google has hired auto industry veteran and
former Hyundai U.S. CEO John Krafcik to
run its self-driving car program.
Krafcik, 53, is credited with turning around
Hyundais U.S. operations, leading the company to huge sales increases after the Great
Recession. Early in his career as a mechanical
engineer he worked at a joint venture between
Toyota and General Motors where he became
a proponent of lean manufacturing.
For Google, Krafciks hiring shows the tech
giant is serious about turning autonomous cars
into a sustainable business. Google has promised to have a self-driving car in the publics
hands by 2020. Krafcik takes over as the
autonomous car CEO later this month.
Traditional automakers such as Mercedes,
General Motors and Toyota are working to
gradually automate functions in the car until
vehicles become fully capable of driving
themselves, possibly by 2025.

Hyde hits pay dirt in Niners opener

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Carlos Hyde wanted

to outplay the better-known No. 28 on
the field, Adrian Peterson.
He did that and more, and Jim
Tomsulas San Francisco 49ers produced
a victory in his debut as head coach
minus the interim status he had for the
final game of 2010.
Hyde carried the offense with 168 yards

on the ground and touchdown runs of 17

and 10 yards in his first career start, spinning away from a defender and diving
into the end zone untouched on a rare nice
play in a first half full of ugly ones to
lead the Niners past the Minnesota
Vikings 20-3 on Monday night.
The new starter in place of departed
franchise rushing leader Frank Gore,
Hydes yards were the most by a 49ers
running back since Gores 207 in Week
2 of 2009 against Seattle.

Peterson ran 10 times for 31 yards

playing his first game in more than a
year following paid leave and then a suspension last year in the fallout from a
child-abuse case against him in Texas.
Colin Kaepernick threw for 165 yards
and second-year back Hyde ran 26 times
to easily best his top rookie performance of 55 yards in his final game last
year.

Byrne anchors ailing Tigers

By Terry Bernal

Athlete of the Week

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When star outside hitter Katie Smoot

sprained her ankle just prior to Notre DameBelmont volleyball's season opener, the team
looked to be in dire straits.
Then Tammy Byrne stepped up.
I've really had to pick it up, because
[Smoot] is usually the one to pick me up
when she's on the floor, Byrne said.
Byrne, a junior outside hitter, has been the
Tigers' go-to girl this season, and racked up
back-to-back 16-kill games last week. First
she recorded a double-double in last
Tuesday's four-set win over Carlmont with
16 kills and 11 digs. Then last Thursday in a
four-set victory over Aptos, she totaled 16
kills and four blocks, leading Notre Dame to
a 5-2 start this season.
Because of her clutch performance, especially in Smoot's absence, Byrne has been named
the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
She's put her team on her back and carried
them, Notre Dame-Belmont head coach Jen
Agresti said.
It isn't that Byrne wasn't a key component
to Notre Dame's unprecedented season in
2014. The Tigers started the year with 22
straight wins en route to winning the Central
Coast Section Division IV championship.
And her tremendous play down the stretch
garnered Byrne baby, Byrne headlines in
the Daily Journal.
Still, the driving force of the team was the
chemistry between Byrne and Smoot.
Ultimately, Smoot proved Notre Dame's offensive leader with a team-high 3.8 kills per set.
With both players entering their junior
years this season, Notre Dame was poised for
more of the same. Then, one day after the
team's first scrimmage, Smoot injured herself
in practice. In landing wrong during blocking
drills, she sprained her ankle in two places.
So, entering into their season opener Sept.
5 at the high-profile Milpitas Spikefest tournament, the Tigers turned to Byrne to lead the
team. Notre Dame survived the likes of Menlo
School and Clovis West to post a 3-2 record at
the tourney. Then last week, the Tigers rattled
off two more wins with Byrne doing her thing.
She's had to step up for our team and she's

f there is one thing Menlo School

knows how to do, its put together a
top-notch tournament. This past
weekend, Menlo tennis coach Bill Shine
brought together some of the best
schools in the state for the inaugural
Golden State Tennis Classic.
This weekend, Menlo will host what
could be considered its signature tournament: the 18th annual Scott Roche
Invitational. While it brings together
one of the best water polo elds the state
has to offer, the Roche Invitational is
about so much more than just water polo.
Scott Roche was a 1990 graduate of
Menlo who went on to star on a Princeton
University squad
that won an Ivy
League title and No.
7 national ranking
during his tenure.
He remained an
ardent supporter of
Menlo School and
Princeton until he
was killed in a
1998 car crash.
For Menlo School
coach Jack Bowen,
the Scott Roche
Invitational is to make sure the memory of
Roche lives on in the Menlo community.
Before the start of every invitational, the
current Menlo team gathers for a dinner in
honor of Roche. The schools headmaster
and Roches father and brother will be in
attendance, as will former teammates of
Roches.
This tournament, and especially
Fridays dinner, is not only a favorite
event of the season for me, but honestly,
for me and my family, is a highlight of our
year, Bowen said in an email. Its an
opportunity to celebrate an amazing young
man in Scott and for our student-athletes to
honor all that Scott stood for, while also
recognizing that they are a part of something much bigger than themselves.
The Roche family has been a real
treasure and cornerstone of our program.

Bullpen buckles down as Giants win 4th straight

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Brandon Belts hitting is helping keep the Giants afloat in the
playoff race.
The veteran first basemans glove work is
proving critical, too.
Belt tripled and drove in two runs and
made a sparkling defensive play to throw a
runner out at home in the fifth inning, and
San Francisco beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3
on Monday night.
Matt Duffy doubled twice and drove in two

runs and Marlon Byrd

added an RBI double to
help San Francisco win
its fourth straight and
20th in 25 games at
AT&T Park after struggling at home earlier in
the season.
It runs in cycles,
Giants
manager Bruce
Santiago
Bochy said. This is
Casilla
more the club that we are,
the way were playing at home.
Belt has been a big factor. He had an RBI

triple in the third and added a sacrifice fly in

the ninth, extending his hitting streak to
six games.
Belt also made a pivotal play with the
bases loaded in the fifth when he fielded Jay
Bruces sharp grounder down the first base
line and made a perfect throw home to get a
sliding Ramon Cabrera.
When we had a visit on the mound,
(catcher Buster Posey) asked me, Are you
just going to go two unless you get a slowhopper? Belt said. I said, Well if its to
my backhand Im probably going to come
home with it. Thats what happened.

The defending World Series champs

remained 7 1/2 games behind the Los
Angeles Dodgers in the NL West with 18
games remaining including four against
the Dodgers.
George Kontos (3-2) retired four batters
for the win after Tim Hudson failed in his bid
for the 222nd victory of his career.
Hudson gave up one run and three hits in 4
1-3 innings but walked three and left with
the bases loaded in the fifth after pain flared
up in his hip.

Continued from page 11
put them on her back in these games, Smoot said. She's
playing better than I've ever seen her play.
That's a bold statement considering Smoot and Byrne have
played together since they were 12. And they've long been
quite the tandem. Not only did they lead the 2014 Notre Dame
Tigers to the most successful season in program history as
mere sophomores. They celebrated more of the same on the
club circuit, as their Encore Navy 16 team - coached by
Agresti - took third place in the nation in the Open division
at the U.S. Junior National Championship in June.
In some respects, the two have switched places since they
first played club volleyball together as 12-year-olds with
Paye's Place. Smoot is now 6-1 while Byrne stands 5-10.
However, Byrne said she has been the same height since she
was 12, when she towered over everyone.
Byrne said she once believed she'd grow to be 6-2. Instead,
she has watched many of the players she used to dominate in
stature outgrow her. As the years have gone by she has compensated by growing into a more cerebral player. Of course,
complimenting her smarts and developing into a six-rotation player, she still has plenty of thunder in her kill stroke.
And she's also grown into a quiet leader, as recognized by
her teammates this season as she was voted co-team captain
along with senior opposite Jess Beering.
She's always been a leader no matter what team she's on,
Smoot said. When she's on the court, she has the ability to
change the outcome of a game.
Still, when Smoot injured herself, Agresti said she went
into a bit of a panic. It was 24 hours before Smoot was diagnosed with a right-ankle sprain with approximately a twoweek recovery window. Smoot is now likely to make her season debut Wednesday against Aragon.
But staring down the barrel of a difficult nonleague sched-

in Geovany Soto with two outs in the
14th inning to give the White Sox an
8-7 win Monday night over the As.
Cabrera singled off Arnold Leon (02) to end the seasons longest game for
both teams. Dan Jennings (2-3)
pitched two scoreless innings in relief
for Chicago, which squandered a 7-3
lead in the ninth.
Jose Abreu and Trayce Thompson hit
two-run homers off Sonny Gray in the
third.
John Danks went seven innings and
allowed three runs and three hits. He surrendered solo homers to Jake Smolinski
in the third, Brett Lawrie in the fourth and
Josh Reddick in the seventh.

ule, Agresti said she wasn't sure how the team would respond
without Smoot. Agresti had purposely designed a challenging schedule against A-league competition to rack up power
points to help secure postseason rights. After all, even after
starting the year with 22 straight wins last season and etching a program record 35-7 overall record, the Tigers finished
in just fourth place with a 3-3 record in the powerhouse West
Catholic Athletic League.
I wasn't going to make a fluffy schedule, Agresti said. I
was going to schedule games we had to push ourselves to win
every game.
The team has its toughest test yet coming up this weekend
as Notre Dame travels to Las Vegas to play in the 64-team
tournament Durango Classic. It is the first time a Notre
Dame-Belmont team for any sport has ever flown out of state
to play. Marquee teams from California alone include Torrey
Pines, Mitty and Valley Christian, though the tourney fields
teams from around the nation.
And despite Byrne's heroics thus far, she said the Tigers are
still struggling to find their identity. Something has been
holding the team together through its 5-2 start, but Byrne
said it is more a credit to their nose-to-the-grindstone effort
across the board.
I'd like to say (it's) teamwork, but we're struggling to stay
together, Byrne said. We're still learning how to mesh.
Everyone just plays their hearts out. If we didn't have that, I
don't think we'd be where we are now.
Smoot said she plans to see limited action in her season
debut Wednesday. The expectation though, if her ankle holds
up against Aragon, is to go full tilt in Las Vegas.
Right now we're all a little bit off, Byrne said. But once we
get [Smoot] back, it will all begin to mesh a little bit better.

Robertsons streak of 26 consecutive

batters retired.
Chicago said Thompson suffered a
sprained left elbow and was listed as
day to day.
Gray was charged with a season-high
seven runs while allowing eight hits,
four walks and the two homers in threeplus innings in his shortest start of the
year. His recent problems with the
home run continued, after Gray entered
Monday having allowed six in his previous six starts.
The seven earned runs matched a
career-high and Grays ERA rose from
2.28 to 2.56 for Oakland.
Leading 1-0, Gray allowed the pair of
two-run homers in the bottom of the
third to fall behind 4-1. Abreu put
Chicago in front 2-1 with his 28th of the
season, and Thompson followed with a
drive into deep left-center field for his
fourth and a 4-1 White Sox advantage.

More arrests expected

in FIFA corruption case
By Graham Dunbar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH FIFA and embattled President Sepp Blatter

faced more pressure on Monday as U.S. Attorney General
Loretta Lynch warned of new indictments
in a widening investigation of corruption
in international soccer.
We do anticipate pursuing additional
charges against individuals and entities,
Lynch said in FIFAs home city, citing
unspecified new evidence gathered since
the stunning May 27 arrests of seven people at a luxury hotel in Zurich.
Lynch spoke at a news conference alongLoretta Lynch
side her Swiss counterpart, Michael Lauber,
whose separate investigation of money laundering appears
equally threatening to FIFA and its soon-departing president.
Swiss federal agencies have now seized properties in the
Swiss Alps and more evidence during house searches in western Switzerland, said Lauber, who last updated media on his
case in June.
Investment in real estate can be used for the purpose of
money laundering, said Lauber, whose case seems to lead

KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS

Colin Kaepernick was 17-of-26 passing for 165 yards in Monday nights opener in Santa Clara.

49ERS
Continued from page 11
A sloppy first half featured a pair of
botched field goals, Vikings quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater running into his own
teammate that led to a 10-yard sack, an 85yard punt return touchdown called back on
penalty, and a fumbled punt by the former
Australian rugby league star Jarryd Hayne
on his first NFL touch.
The 27-year-old rookie lost the fumble on
a punt return in the first quarter when he
misjudged the ball and had to dive forward to
try to field it. He made a 1-yard run in the
second quarter and caught a 7-yard pass. He
was forced into running back duties as the
only active backup after Reggie Bush was
lost to a left calf injury with about 6 1/2
minutes left in the first quarter.
We dont think its very serious,
Tomsula said.

FROM

SEPTEMBER 12TH

Kaepernick improved to 5-0 on Monday

nights with a victory in the first regularseason weeknight game at second-year,
$1.3 billion Levis Stadium, where a new
field was put down for this game in the wake
of regular sod problems over the past month
and even dating to last season. Kaepernick
has thrown nine touchdowns and no interceptions in Monday night games.
Peterson, playing for the first time since
last seasons opener at St. Louis, had just
four carries in the first half then doubled
that total on the initial series after halftime.
He still hasnt scored a touchdown against
San Francisco in four meetings.
49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman had one
of five sacks against Bridgewater and also
seven tackles in his first game in 20 months
following a left knee injury sustained during
the NFC championship game loss at Seattle
in January 2014 that required surgery.
The opening half was extended by a play
after Ahmad Brooks holding penalty on
what would have been the last.
Blair Walsh lined up for a 63-yard field
goal then the Vikings called timeout and

Cincinnati to 4-3.

Raiders get good news on Carrs hand injury Cardiovascular

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA After a season opener when

just about everything went wrong, the
Oakland Raiders finally got a piece of positive news.
Quarterback Derek Carrs injured throwing
hand that knocked him out of the game
Sunday is not as serious as originally
feared, and the Raiders are hopeful Carr will
be able to play this week against Baltimore.
An MRI on Monday showed that Carr
only had a bruise on his right hand. Carr
even showed coach Jack Del Rio that he was
able to squeeze a ball in a positive sign that
he should be able to practice this week.
He was feeling good about it, feeling a
lot better with the swelling having gone
down quite a bit, Del Rio said.
The Raiders are confident enough that
Carr can play this week that they have no
plans to sign a third quarterback to the
active roster.
Carr hurt his hand when he tried to stiffarm Adam Jones on a scramble late in the
second quarter. He was replaced by Matt

Oct. 18.
This weekends tournament always
features one of the strongest tournament elds in the state, year in and year
out. Menlo won the tournament last
year, beating North Coast Section
power San Ramon Valley.
The tournament is split between the
Menlo and Gunn High School facilities, with games beginning at noon
Friday and the nal matches kicking off
at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The top eight
places and championship match will be
played at Menlo, beginning at 1:30
p.m. The championship match is
scheduled for 4:45 p.m. Saturday.
This years tournament features longtime Menlo rival Menlo-Atherton, as
well as always strong Leland and Palo
Alto squads; St. Francis, St. Ignatius
and Valley Christian represent the West
Catholic Athletic League; Drake and
San Ramon Valley are a pair of strong
NCS programs; Christian Brothers,
Oak Ridge and Rio Americano hail from
the Sacramento/El Dorado Hills area.
San Luis Obispo and Vista will repre-

McGloin after that, and

the Raiders lost 33-13 to
the Bengals.
Using his throwing
hand to become a
straight-arm tool, we
would probably not ask
him to repeat that, Del
Rio said.
Carr, who made all 16
Derek Carr
starts as a rookie, struggled before the injury, going 7 of 12 for 61
yards.
Carr was not the only Raiders starter to
leave the game with an injury. Safety Nate
Allen went down in the first quarter with a
knee injury, fellow safety Charles Woodson
hurt his shoulder on a garbage-time drive in
the fourth quarter and defensive tackle Justin
Ellis left early with an ankle injury.
Del Rio said Allen would miss time but
could be back later this season. Del Rio had
no results on Woodsons MRI, and Ellis
injury is not believed to be serious.
The direst situation is at safety, where the
only healthy bodies are Larry Asante and
recently acquired Keenan Lambert. Woodson

sent the Central Coast and San Diego

areas, respectively.

After losing in the seminals to
Punahou-Hawaii 6-1 in the seminals,
the Knights downed Central Coast

The tournament, split between
Menlo and Stanford, featured 16 top
programs from around the state and the
13-time defending Hawaiian state
champion Punahou, which lost to
Peninsula-Rolling Hills in the championship match.
Menlo opened the tournament with a
7-0 win over Valencia, before pulling
out a 4-3 victory over Mira Costa to
move into the seminals against
Punahou.
We obviously knew going in, it was
going to be a lot of great competition.
Some of the best in the country, Shine
said in an email. Im really pleased
that [we] came in third, especially since
we have some young kids on the team
and its their rst time playing in a
team pressure situation like that and
really coming through.
Were denitely a better team
because of it.

and Allen, with more than 300 career starts,

were expected to help cover up for an inexperienced cornerback group that struggled at
times on Sunday.
Asante has started just two games since
entering the league in 2010, and Lambert
played just two defensive snaps in his debut
as an undrafted rookie out of Norfolk State.
Del Rio said the team could add another
safety this week.
Ellis was replaced mostly by Stacy
McGee, who struggled Sunday in his most
extensive playing time since his rookie
year in 2013.
Few players fared well in the opener as the
Raiders fell behind 33-0 after three quarters
and didnt even run a play in Bengals territory until the fourth quarter.
Bottom line is we expected to do better,
Del Rio said. Whether you do better or not,
this is a day you kind of acknowledge what
went wrong or acknowledge what went
right. You make your corrections, you learn
from the experience you had and then you
go forward.

disease caused
Malones death
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORFOLK, Va. Hall of Fame basketball

player Moses Malones death was caused by
cardiovascular disease, the Virginia medical
examiners office said Monday.
Malone was found dead in a Norfolk hotel
Sunday morning. He was 60.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
said Malone died of natural causes. The cause
of Malones death was listed as hypertensive
and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
A friend of Malone said the former NBA
star saw a doctor about an irregular heart
beat less than a week before he died.
Kevin Vergara told the Richmond TimesDispatch Malone went to a doctor in
Houston after he felt his heart skip a beat
during a workout. Vergara said Malone had a
heart monitor issued by the doctor on when
he found him in the hotel room after the former NBA star failed to show up for breakfast
or answer his phone.

***
Wow, did the Oakland Raiders look
bad Sunday afternoon. I mean, dog-fartclears-the-room bad.
What made it so bad was the fact there
was some level of optimism for this
season and the Cincinnati Bengals,
while certainly a good team, were eminently beatable Sunday. But the Raiders
made the Bengals look like Super Bowl
contenders.
That burgeoning Derek Carr-to-Amari
Cooper hookup everyone was so excited to see? You would have thought that
was the rst time the two were on the
eld together.
And Carr as the savior of the franchise? I would venture to say he didnt
look that bad in any start he had last season when he was a rookie, with the icing
on the cake being a throwing-hand
injury as he tried to straight-arm Adam
Pac-Man Jones during a scramble.
Sure, it can be chalked up to being just
one game, but man, coach Jack Del Rio
must have been dumbfounded to see his
team any team fall apart like that.
I guess the good news for the Raiders
is it can only get better, because it cant
get much worse can it?

accounts have been reported as

suspicious by a Swiss financial
intelligence unit to Laubers team
of prosecutors, he said.
The two lawyers shared a stage on
the sidelines of an annual conference of federal prosecutors, almost
four months after the scale of their
investigations was made public.
Two days before the FIFA presidential election on May 29, the

U.S. Department of Justice indicted 14 soccer and marketing officials in a $150 million bribery
and racketeering conspiracy and
unsealed six guilty pleas, including Chuck Blazer. The longtime
member of FIFAs executive committee was a key cooperating witness for federal investigators in
Brooklyn where Lynch was formerly U.S. Attorney.

Lynch did not comment Monday

on whether Blatter is targeted in
her case, or if he faced arrest by
traveling to a country which has
an extradition treaty with the
United States.
I cant give you any information about Mr. Blatters travel
plans, said Lynch, smiling and
drawing laughs from a room
packed with around 150 journal-

ists in a Zurich hotel.

The Swiss case could spread
beyond the World Cup bids won by
Russia and Qatar as prosecutors sift
through massive amounts of data
and documents seized from FIFA
headquarters in May and June.
Much of FIFAs contracts and
finances during Blatters 17-year
presidency now seem open to
investigation.

Panel backs aspirin for heart health in only certain adults

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A government task

force says a daily low-dose aspirin could help
certain people in their 50s and 60s prevent a
first heart attack or stroke and they might
get some protection against colon cancer at
the same time.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
issued draft guidelines Monday recommending aspirin only if people meet a strict list of
criteria including a high risk of heart disease and a low risk of bleeding side effects.
The guidelines said the recommendation is
strongest for 50-somethings, but that doctors
should decide aspirin therapy on a case-bycase basis for people in their 60s, who can
expect a smaller benefit.
Potential candidates should have at least a
10 percent risk of a heart attack or stroke
over the next decade, have a life expectancy of at least 10 years and be willing to take
daily aspirin that long, and not have other
health conditions that cause bleeding, the
guidelines said. Thats because prolonged
aspirin use can trigger serious bleeding, in

the gastrointestinal tract or brain.

Aspirin therapy has long been recommended for heart attack survivors, but who should
try it for whats called primary prevention
protection of a first heart attack or stroke is
less clear. And while studies suggest years of
daily aspirin use may lower the risk of colon
cancer, no major health organizations recommend taking it solely for that reason.
Neither do the task force guidelines the
aspirin decision is supposed to be made on the
basis of patients heart health but it concluded the cancer information would be useful as doctors and patients discuss the choice.
If youre a person trying to decide whether
to take aspirin, youd want to be aware of all
the potential benefits and the potential
harms, said Dr. Douglas Owens, a Stanford
University professor and task force member.
The task force said theres not enough evidence to assess aspirin therapy for those under
50 or over 69. The updated guidelines back
aspirin for a narrower age range than the last
time the task force weighed the question, but
for the first time adds information about the
possible cancer benefit if people use aspirin
long enough.

SCORES
Continued from page 1
Park to discuss the results, said there is still
room for improvement.
At first blush, one of the things I see is continuing evidence of our achievement gap,
said Gordon. We have some of the highest,
and lowest, achieving districts in the state.
Gary Waddell, a deputy superintendent in
the San Mateo County Office of Education,
echoed those sentiments.
While these data represent a baseline, they
also illuminate a persistent achievement gap
between groups of students, Waddell said in
an email. Closing this gap, while raising the
achievement of all students, is a top priority
and yardstick by which we measure our work
in San Mateo County.
Waddell noted the value of not comparing
the Smarter Balanced test results against

scores from previous iterations of standardized tests, because the systems are so different.
While these scores show us where continued work is needed, it is important that we
remember that the scores cannot be compared
to previous results on the STAR, he said.
These scores represent different kinds of
assessments measuring progress on new standards.
The Smarter Balanced tests integrated more
technology and greater degrees of critical
thinking into the new exams, marking a shift
away from the focus on multiple choice questions in previous test systems.

Achievement gap

Students in the Hillsborough City School

District earned the highest local scores, as
roughly 85 percent of students met or exceeded the standards in both mathematics and language arts.
For comparison, Gordon identified
Ravenswood City Elementary School District
in East Palo Alto, where only
18 percent of students met or

scores from students living in socioeconomically depressed areas may be indicative of the
struggles associated with a lack of support at
home, or by the community.
Districts that have more money to spend on
education, with additional resources, a lack of
distraction in the community and parental
involvement are some of the factors that lead
to higher test scores, he said.
Anthony Ranii, superintendent of the
Hillsborough City Elementary School District,
credited the support of district parents as a primary reason that students succeeded at such an
overwhelming rate.
Im very proud of our teachers, and students, and our supportive parents, he said.
We
had
great
scores.
He also acknowledged the preparation of district teachers who were able to efficiently integrate Common Core curriculum into the classroom, which adequately prepared students for
success on the tests.
Ranii, who is also president of the San
Mateo County Superintendents Association,
also recognized the success not just of his district, but the region.
I think the county is headed in the right
direction, he said. Our county scores show
our kids are coming to school ready to learn,
and when they get here, we are doing well to
educate them.

Baseline data
Other local officials approached the Smarter
Balanced scores with cautious optimism, noting the test system is merely in its infancy and
much more data analysis is required to glean
better understanding of how the results reflect
the proficiency of local students.
This year is baseline data, there is a great
deal of useful information in the scores and
they establish a baseline mark for us to track
trends to use in the future, said Molly Barton,
deputy superintendent in the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District, in an email.
We are looking for clear areas of strength that
we can replicate across the district and be able
to clearly identify the areas in need of additional study, analysis and focus.
Fifty-eight percent of students in the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District
met or exceeded language arts standards, and

THE DAILY JOURNAL

55 percent met or exceeded math standards.
James Lianides, superintendent of the
Sequoia Union High School District, shared
similar sentiments as Barton in an email.
We see the first year of the Smarter
Balanced assessment as establishing a baseline
for growth, he said. The district is implementing Common Core over a several year
period and we expect to see continuous
improvement in outcomes as students gain
greater exposure to the instructional methodologies and the technology. We will use the
2014-15 results as a guide for curriculum and
instructional planning.
In the language arts segment of the test, 58
of students in the Sequoia Union High School
District met or exceeded standards, while 40
percent met or exceeded the mathematics standards.
In the San Mateo Union High School
District, 75 percent of students met or exceeded language arts standards, while 54 percent
met or exceeded mathematics standards.
Cynthia Clark, director of Curriculum and
Assessment at the San Mateo Union High
School District, said officials were content
with the test results.
We were pleasantly surprised and cautiously optimistic, she said. Our students did well
for this first year.
Michael Milliken, superintendent of the
Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School
District, also said he was proud of the achievement of district students, 74 percent of who
met or exceeded language arts standards, and
70 percent of who met or exceeded mathematics standards.
We were quite pleased, he said. That is a
great initial benchmark to build off of.
He said the technological requirements of
the test presented challenges for a segment of
students, as some took longer to finish because
they had to type in their answers on their
devices, rather than just fill in a bubble like the
previous exam systems.
One takeaway from this years test is the
need to teach students to be proficient on keyboards, to not slow down their testing, he said.
We are going to continue exposing our children to technology, said Milliken.
So these assessments are testing their knowledge and not their typing.

Number of immigrants losing

health law coverage on the rise
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A change in government

procedures has led to a big jump in people losing coverage under the Obama health care law
because of immigration and citizenship issues.
More than 400,000 had their insurance canceled, nearly four times as many as last year.
The Obama administration says it is following the letter of the law, and this year that
means a shorter time frame for resolving
immigration and citizenship issues. But advocates say the administrations system for verifying eligibility is seriously flawed, and consumers who are legally entitled to benefits are
paying the price.
Same dog, different collar, said Jane
Delgado, president of the National Alliance for
Hispanic Health, evoking an old Spanish saying
about situations that do not seem to change.
The bottom line is people got taken off health
insurance when they applied in good faith.
The National Immigration Law Center says it
believes the overwhelming majority of the
423,000 people whose coverage was terminated are legal U.S. residents and citizens snared in
a complicated, inefficient system for checking
documents.
Angel Padilla, the centers health policy analyst, said it defies common sense that that many
immigrants without legal authorization to be in
the country would risk alerting a federal agency
by applying for taxpayer-subsidized benefits.
Somebody who is trying to submit documents over and over ... is someone who
believes they have an eligible immigration status, Padilla said. By comparison, a total of
109,000 people lost coverage because of citizenship and immigration issues during all of
2014.
President Barack Obamas health care law
specifies that only citizens and legal U.S. residents are entitled to coverage through the new
insurance markets that offer subsidized policies. The administration says this year the law
provides just a 95-day window for resolving
documentation issues that involve citizenship
and immigration. There was no such clock in
2014 because it was the first year of

Investigators for the congressional Government Accountability Office successfully enrolled fictitious characters through HealthCare.gov in
2014, and at least initially, renewed their coverage for this year. But the nonpartisan probe also found evidence of problems with HealthCare.govs
consumer communications about problem applications.
HealthCare.govs coverage expansion.
Last year, we had the authority to provide
consumers more flexibility we were not taking action on the strict timeline, said Ben
Wakana, a spokesman for the Department of
Health and Human Services. In 2015, we
moved to the timeline of about three months, so
consumers need to act quickly to submit supporting documentation.
Padilla said a shorter time window might not
be so much of a problem if the administration
would clearly communicate which documents
are needed. If it was clearer what the consumer
needed to do, we wouldnt have the numbers
that we have, he said.
The administration says it is continually making improvements to help consumers.
Hispanics, the nations most numerous ethnic
group, have been among the biggest beneficiar-

ies of the Affordable Care Act. The uninsured

rate for Latino adults ages 18-64 dropped from
nearly 41 percent in 2013 to about 28 percent in
the first three months of this year, according to
a government survey. But Hispanics are still
more likely to be uninsured than people of other
ethnic and racial backgrounds. Signing up more
Latinos is a priority for the administration and
the laws supporters.
The administration is highly sensitive to
Republican accusations that it is dispensing
health benefits to people who are not legally
entitled to them, including those who cannot
prove their citizenship or legal status.
Investigators for the congressional Government
Accountability Office successfully enrolled fictitious characters through HealthCare.gov in
2014, and at least initially, renewed their coverage for this year.

But the nonpartisan probe also found evidence of problems with HealthCare.govs consumer communications about problem applications.
For example, the federal insurance marketplace asked eight of the GAOs bogus beneficiaries to submit additional documentation to
prove citizenship and identity. But GAO said
the list of suitable documents that could be sent
in consisted of paperwork for verifying income.
After documents were sent in, HealthCare.gov
failed in some cases to say whether they were
acceptable.
HealthCare.gov did not always provide
clear and complete communications, said the
GAOs report this summer. We did not always
know the current status of our applications or
specific documents required in support of
them.

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
grab this November however, appointed
incumbent Rick Bonilla is running
unopposed for the two-year remainder
of former mayor Robert Ross council
term.
The candidates discussed their views
on a variety of topics such as possibly
raising height limits in downtown to
account for residential growth, whether
they support the citys proposed sales tax
extension Measure S and how to fund
infrastructure improvements.

to support it.
Freschet, who is seeking her second
term and recently retired from her position with Notre Dame de Namur
University, said she wants to continue to
make a difference in the citys future.
Some of the most critical issues ahead
include funding repairs to city infrastructure and addressing the affordable
housing crisis.
My priorities are really about public
safety, affordability, keeping the character of our community and our quality of
life. I want us to continue to be a sustainable community which to me is not
just environmentally, its economically
thriving, Freschet said.

Where their priorities stand

A need for
housing and Measure P

Morgan said hes conscientious of the

expense new developments will have on
the city and is weary of adding more
parking to downtown. Regional traffic
issues require the city to work with different transit agencies and there should
be more options for commuters, Morgan
said.
Im really concerned with all the
projects that are coming up, so addressing growth. I think transit-oriented
development is a solution, but I think
theres been a lot of housing added
already, Morgan said. We have to
address the housing issue and be cognizant of were in a good time, and we
dont know how long its going to last.
So we also have to make sure we dont
overbuild.
Papan said one of her top priorities is
to address infrastructure needs such as
streets, upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant and helping remove homeowners in North Shoreview from the
flood zone.
Its maintaining our quality of life,
its a general statement and a real complex issue. I think we do it through being
sensitive to our neighborhoods so
growth accommodates our neighborhoods, weve got to maintain our 911,
police and fire, after-school programs,
senior programs, Papan said. This is a
time of growth. But we have to do it
in a way thats artful and in a way that
hears all voices in San Mateo.
Schmidt said she has numerous ideas
to help streamline city processes, use
technology to enhance peoples lives
and save taxpayers money. She believes
innovation can make a difference from
using solar panels at the wastewater
treatment plant to cut down on electricity bills to using apps to help people find
parking downtown. Schmidt also
emphasized the need for better transit
options and coordinating with other
cities.
I think we need to mobilize people
and raise awareness on a lot of things
and I can see how technology will help
that, Schmidt said, later adding she
wants to help the underserved and appreciates the role teachers play in society.
Were all a community and we all need

Freschet said she wants to consider

using the city-owned downtown lots at
Fifth and Railroad avenues for workforce housing redevelopments and, if
voters are willing, would be open to considering raising height limits a voterapproved regulation that caps buildings
at 55 feet, or 75 feet downtown with
council approval in appropriate locations. Measure P is an extension of
Measure H, which originally passed in
1991.
The biggest issue facing San Mateo, I
think, is affordable housing. Im really
concerned about the displacement thats
occurring. One of the things thats
always made San Mateo a beautiful
place to live is the diversity, Freschet
said.
Initially against asking voters to
reconsider Measure P height limits
when she ran for council four years
ago, Schmidt said she might consider it
so long as developers are required to
provide more amenities to the city.
Schmidt emphasized the need to work
with neighboring cities and consider
alternative housing options as well as
promoting public transportation for
employees.
I think San Mateo has really done a
good job to provide as much housing as
possible and theres other areas like San
Bruno where land is cheaper, so maybe
we get together and try to help each
other, Schmidt said. It takes a village
and again, working on public transportation to move people around and not necessarily feel responsible to have to house
everyone that works in your town.
Supportive of looking at the transit
corridor to add housing and willing to
consider raising height limitations in
appropriate places, Papan said its about
an inventory problem and looking at low
interest loans could be an option to
encourage developers to provide more
affordable units.
Weve got a real housing shortage
here and weve got to open it (height
limits) up for discussion. Im optimistic
that we can build housing that may be a
little higher but has more of a neighborhood look to it, Papan said. We can
still keep the character of our neighbor-

hoods and provide workforce housing.

Morgan said he wants to balance the
existing character of downtown with the
need to keep rents reasonable for both
residents and businesses. He also suggested alternative housing options such
as home sharing and said hes concerned
large-scale transit-oriented developments have reduced competition for
smaller developers.
Id be very reluctant to build downtown, especially since we have at least
three more [office] buildings at Bay
Meadows and the Hines [office complex], Morgan said. Its concerning
that theres a shortage of [housing] supply currently, however, we obviously
dont know what the future holds. I think
a lot of the recent projects that have been
approved have been housing focused.

Whether to tax and

where funds are most needed
Morgan said it was torn about whether
to support Measure S a 30-year
extension of Measure L, the quarter-cent
sales tax that will be up for San Mateo
voters in November. Morgan said he was
concerned about the length of the tax but
agreed money is needed for infrastructure repairs. If the city had a surplus,
hed like to see funds allocated to transit
improvements such as considering a
shuttle to downtown.
Schmidt, Freschet and Papan said
theyd support the tax because it wouldnt be an additional increase and funding
infrastructure improvements is critical.
Theres a lot of work to be done, and
people are sort of used to it, Schmidt
said.
Schmidt said shed like to see excess
money put toward local nonprofits, such
as Samaritan Houses Worker Resource
Center, which currently needs assistance
funding English classes for the Hispanic
community. Shed also like to promote
better transit, improvements to downtown such as a shuttle and using technology like creating apps to support
businesses or shoppers.
Freschet said the city has nearly $350
million in capital improvement projects
covering everything from parks to
streets. She vowed to focus on infrastructure as well as affordable housing
needs.
The last thing I want to do is ask people to pay more money or more taxes,
but we have these projects that need to
be done and we dont have the money in
the budget, Freschet said, adding shoppers from out-of-town would be contributing.
Papan said San Mateos 18 miles of
failed streets needs to be addressed and
addressing infrastructure needs is critical to accounting for future population
growth.
Im so grateful that people in the last
century had the foresight to spend
money on the streets and roads, Papan
said. Im all about that legacy. I think
Measure S is an integral part of making
that happen. It is our quality of life.

Razor-lined boxcar
marks Hungarys new
border for migrants
By Mike Corder
and Shawn Pogatchnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROSZKE, Hungary Hungary

deployed a boxcar bristling with
razor wire to close a key border
crossing and warned of a new era of
swift deportations Monday as governments across Europe debated
how to share the burden of housing
hundreds of thousands seeking
refuge and whether the continents hard-won policy of passportfree travel could survive the unrelenting flow of humanity.
In Brussels, ministers from the
28-nation bloc agreed to share
responsibility for 40,000 people
seeking refuge in overwhelmed
Italy and Greece and spoke hopefully of reaching eventual agreement possibly next month, or
possibly by the end of the year
on which nations would take
120,000 more.
But their slow deliberations
appeared disconnected from the
rapidly shifting situation on the

most besieged borders of Europe,

where Austria, Slovakia and even
the Netherlands joined Germany in
reintroducing border controls for
the first time in a generation in a bid
to record the arrivals of thousands
daily from the Middle East, Asia
and Africa.
The checks, involving police on
trains and on border roads, snarled
traffic and slowed the speed and
volume of migrants reaching
Germany, which had received more
than 60,000 newcomers since
throwing opens its borders Sept. 5
to people trying to reach the EU
heavyweight via Hungary, the
Balkans and Greece. Since Sunday
those borders have grown tighter
again, reflecting German unease at
the sheer volume and lack of commitment from EU partners to share
the load.
If we dont find a solution, then
this chaos will be the result, said
Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn of
Luxembourg, which holds the EU
presidency. Germanys decision to
deploy police on borders and trains

could trigger a domino effect and
then we can forget Schengen, he
said, referring to the 1985 agreement that gradually removed passport checks on most European borders.
Asselborn suggested that intoler-

ance of foreigners lay behind some

countries refusal to commit.
Even a little country like
Luxembourg is able to accept a few
hundred people who are not of
Christian religion, who have another skin color, and this should also

work in big countries like Poland or

the Czech Republic or Slovakia,
Asselborn said, listing some of the
countries that have rejected
Germanys call for all EU members
to accept minimum quotas for
accepting people as refugees.

Egyptian forces mistakenly fire on desert safari, killing 12 Mexican tourists

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO Egyptian forces hunting militants in the countrys western

desert mistakenly opened fire on
Mexican tourists on safari, killing 12
people and dealing a further blow to
the governments efforts to project
an image of stability as it fights an

increasingly powerful insurgency,

officials said Monday.
Egyptian officials said the group
did not have permission to be in the
area, but have not offered a full
account of Sundays incident, in
which another 10 people were
wounded. Mexicos President
Enrique Pena Nieto condemned the

attack and demanded a full investigation, and his foreign minister said
survivors told officials they were
fired upon by helicopters and other
aircraft.
By late Monday, Mexicos ambassador to Egypt, Jorge Alvarez
Fuentes, told local media that two
dead Mexican citizens have been

identified as Luis Barajas Fernandez

and Maria de Lourdes Fernandez
Rubio. A third Mexican citizen,
Rafael Bejarano, was confirmed
dead by his sister, who said she had
been informed of his death by his
travelling companions.
With six Mexicans wounded, that
would at least leave five unaccount-

ed for, as reports vary on whether

there were 14 or 15 tourists in the
group.
The incident, among the deadliest
involving tourists in Egypt, comes as
the country is trying to revive its
vital tourism industry after the turmoil following the 2011 uprising that
toppled President Hosni Mubarak.
