a success
San Mateo abatement reduces
mosquito numbers by 99 percent
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After more than a month of battling San Mateo Countys
rst reports of mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus, the
San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District
was pleased to announce Monday its fogging abatement
treatments were successful.
However, as the warm summer weather continues and more
reports of deceased birds and squirrels are made, the district
said it would continue to closely monitor for further out-
breaks.
The district rst identied the virus in San Mateo in mid-
July and has fogged four times with the largest concluding
Thursday morning. Traps set before and after the treatment
turned up no infected mosquitoes and showed the population
was reduced by 99 percent, Vector Ecologist Theresa
Shelton said. The district fogged more than a square mile

To update aging facilities and provide
technology needed for an evolving job mar-
ket, the San Mateo County Community
College District is putting a $388 million
bond measure on the November ballot.
At a July 9 meeting, the school board dis-
cussed a potential bond measure in
November 2014 and voted July 23 to
authorize the measure that would allow for
construction, reconstruction, rehabilita-
tion or replacement of college facilities,
including furnishing and equipment for
school facilities that encompass 550 acres
and more than 1.6 million square feet of
classrooms, labs and other instructional
space. Some of these facilities are 50-year-
old buildings that have never been touched,
said Barbara Christensen, director of com-
munity and government relations for the
district.
Unfortunately, it (another measure) did-
nt pass a few years ago and we had a list of
projects we needed to complete and that list
has grown, said board President Karen
Schwarz. Theres no other way to do capi-
tal improvement projects.
The district worked with Godbe Research
to do surveys to determine when was best to
go out for the bond measure that requires 55
percent approval. Numbers were higher for a
November 2014 election over a November
2015 election. In addition, more than 70
percent of surveyed voters would go for the
$388 million measure, while a $477 million
measure was less popular, Schwarz said.

Laurelwood Park in San Mateo has been plagued with a strong odor due to a sewage pipe that leaked into Laurel Creek
more than a week ago. Sewage traveled about three-fourths of a mile from north of State Route 92 into the creek.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A sewage leak that contaminated
Laurel Creek and caused a foul odor at
Laurelwood Park has San Mateo city
staff working to repair a faulty pipe
and clean up the environmentally sen-
sitive habitat.
Sewage from residential and ofce
complexes on the north side of State
Route 92, just west of Hillsdale
Boulevard, seeped about three-fourths
of a mile down toward the popular
Laurelwood Park for several days, said
Gary DeJesus, deputy director of envi-
ronmental studies in the citys Public
Works Department.
When the pipe broke, sewage fol-
lowed the natural drainage course of
the storm system and eventually took
the path of least resistance and ended
up at the outfall of Laurelwood Park,
DeJesus said.
The city rst realized it was sewage
contaminating the creek on Friday and
sprung to action. Staff immediately
diverted the leak and worked through
the weekend to repair the cracked 8-
inch diameter clay pipe, DeJesus said.
We were hopeful to have it repaired
on Friday, but it turned out to be more
of an effort than we anticipated
because its on a steep hillside and all
of the excavation had to be done by
hand. So were expecting crews to be

Homeless man charged
with killing good Samaritan
LOS ANGELES A homeless man
who allegedly began screaming and
swearing at a 3-year-old boy in a
Hollywood restaurant has been charged
with killing a good Samaritan who
stepped in.
City News Service says 36-year-old
Jeremy Harris was charged Monday
with voluntary manslaughter. He
remains jailed.
Prosecutors say Harris repeatedly
punched 57-year-old Gabriel Ortega in
the head when Ortega stepped in front
of the boy at a Hollywood McDonalds
in June.
Ortega was hospitalized two days
later and died last month.
Authorities say Harris didnt know
the boy.
He faces 11 years in prison if con-
victed.
Man found not guilty
of killing 6-month-old girl
SANTA ANA An Orange County
man who denied killing his girlfriends
6-month-old daughter has been found
not guilty in a retrial.
City News Service says Rodrigo
Martinez was acquitted Monday and
will be released from prison.
He was convicted in 2008 of assault
on a child and murder. Prosecutors say
he struck the infant in the head with a
gun butt in 2005 at the Garden Grove
home he shared with his girlfriend.
But two forensic experts testied at
his retrial that the injuries were inict-
ed seven to 10 days earlier, when
Martinez wasnt with the child.
Martinezs girlfriend, Alma
Hernandez, pleaded guilty in 2007 to
child abuse, endangerment and being
an accessory after the fact. She was
sentenced to four years in prison.
Grand Canyon investigating
squirrel-kicking video
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. Authorities are
looking into a viral Internet video that
shows a man kicking a squirrel off
what appears to be the edge of the
Grand Canyon.
But park ofcials say the chances of
nding the man are slim.
Right now they are working on it,
park spokeswoman Kirby-Lynn
Shedlowski said Monday. They real-
ize that its been seen by a lot of peo-
ple and that theres some sensitivity to
treatment of wildlife.
The short video posted on YouTube
shows a shirtless, barefoot man in
shorts and a straw cowboy hat leaving
a trail of food at the edge of a canyon.
He then puts on one of his shoes and
kicks the squirrel into the air. Another
similarly dressed man looks on.
Shedlowski said the geographical
features in the video appear to match
part of the Grand Canyon. Authorities
have reached out to YouTube seeking
more information, she said.
Messages sent Monday to the person
who uploaded the video and to YouTube
were not immediately returned.
Grand Canyon Chief Ranger Bill
Wright said no one reported a squirrel
being kicked over the edge of the
canyon. Rather, the video was brought
to the parks attention on Saturday.
Since then, the park has received mes-
sages from people who said they were
appalled and disgusted by the behavior
of the man and urged authorities to
hold him accountable.
Wright said he doesnt believe the
video is a hoax.
I think they took an opportunity to
get something on video, which is real-
ly foolish, he said.
If found, the man could face a charge
that falls into a category of disturbing
or harassing wildlife a federal petty
offense that carries a maximum six
months in jail and/or a $5,000 ne.
Wright said rangers likely would not
pursue animal cruelty under a state
statute because that would require them
to retrieve the squirrel and prove that it
was injured or had died.
The average depth of the Grand
Canyon is 1 mile, but its rock outcrop-
pings, trails, and other ledges dont
guarantee that something going over
the edge would fall a mile below,
Wright said.

Capping a year of testimony from across
the state, a report detailing the signicant
impacts of sea level rise on California and
ways to prepare was released Monday,
Assemblyman Rich Gordon announced.
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, chairs the Select
Committee on Sea Level Rise and the
California Economy which spurred the doc-
ument on what he describes as a slow-mov-
ing emergency. The rise in sea level, he
said, affects tourism, ports, agriculture,
recreation, billions of dollars in economic
disparity and even national security.
Now is the time to act to protect where
we can, plan for where we cant and begin
the process of educating California resi-
dents on the challenges ahead, Gordon said
in announcing the
reports release.
The report recommends
creating policy guide-
lines for planning for sea
level rise, incentivizing
planning efforts with
more funding and acting
now when possible.
Gordon and the com-
mittee held four hearings
throughout California in 2013 and 2014 to
hear from stakeholders and scientists.
Gordon, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-
San Mateo, and Dave Pine, president of
the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, also held two conferences
on the issue in San Mateo County. Pine
called the report an important step.
While we cannot stop sea levels from ris-
ing, we have time to plan for the challenges
ahead if we start now and work collabora-
tively across all levels of government,
Pine said.
Gordon currently has legislation pro-
posed to create an online sea level rise plan-
ning database where municipalities can
learn best practices from other communi-
ties. The bill is pending in the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
The adopted 2014-15 state budget also
includes $2.5 million to help communities
fund sea level rise planning.

A Peninsula lawmakers proposed bill to
criminalize websites that post mug shots
and charge the subjects money to take them
down advanced Monday to the governors
desk.
The legislation authored by state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, would prohibit the
for-prot sites from soliciting or accepting
payment to remove, correct or modify mug
shots. The bill does not limit access to
arrest records and booking photos by the
media and other interested parties under the
California Public Records Act.
Violations would carry up to a $1,000
penalty.
The state Legislature
Monday unanimously
supported the bill which
now heads to Gov. Jerry
Brown for signature or
veto.
Hill equates the practice
of charging people to
remove mug shots and
restore their reputations
with extortion.
Were all accountable for our behavior
but that doesnt mean someone should make
money by spreading your booking photo
on the Web especially if you were never
convicted of a crime, Hill said in a prepared
statement.
Hill described the sites as y-by-night
enterprises that often sully reputations and
hinder employment opportunities, regard-
less of whether charges are dropped.
Seven states Georgia, Illinois,
Colorado, Oregon, Texas and Utah have
passed laws restricting the practice of
charging payment for mug shot removal and
at least 11 others have introduced similar
legislation this year.

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Man avoids being victim of phone scam
ASouth San Francisco resident avoided becoming the vic-

difcult, Capt. Mike Day said. Given the close proximity
to shore, and the vessel operators stated intention to aban-
don the vessel, as well as the extensive search effort. ... I
have made the decision to suspend the active search.

WASHINGTON The government
said Monday it will soon close three
emergency shelters it established at
U.S. military bases to temporarily
house children caught crossing the
Mexican border alone. It said fewer
children were being caught and other
shelters will be adequate.
Ashelter in Oklahoma at Fort Sill is
expected to close as early as Friday,
the Health and Human Services
Department said. Shelters in Texas at
Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland and
in California at Naval Base Ventura
County-Port Hueneme will wrap up
operations in the next two to eight
weeks, agency spokesman Kenneth
Wolfe said. About 7,700 children had
been housed at the three military bases
since shelters there opened in May and
early June. They stayed an average of
35 days.
Since Oct. 1 more than 57,000 unac-
companied children, mostly from
Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala,
have been caught crossing the
Mexican border illegally.
A2008 law requires that unaccompa-
nied child immigrants from countries
that dont border the United States be
handed over to the Health and Human
Services Department within 72 hours
of being apprehended. The children are
cared for by the government until they
can be reunited with a relative or
another sponsor in the United States
while they await a deportation hearing
in immigration court.

A cancer patient who set a re in his
county hospital room and threatened a
nurse with a knife before a two-hour
standoff with police last year was given
a one-year jail term after rst spending
three months at San Quentin State
Prison for a sentencing evaluation.
Zavtcho Stanonor Stoyanov, 52, has
credit of 220 days earned while in cus-
tody and must serve half the remaining
time. He must also register as an arson
offender, spend ve years on supervised
probation and pay $28,031.96 in resti-
tution.
At the request of his defense attorney
Jeff Hayden, Stoyanov will wear a
SCRAM alcohol-detection ankle moni-
tor during his probation.
Hayden said his client was in a delu-
sional state at the time of the re due to
a combination of medication,
chemotherapy and drinking.
The imposed sentence was a balance
of providing public
safety and justice, he
said.
Hayden said he
doesnt discount the
seriousness of the
crimes but that
Stoyanovs is an
exceptional case
and he doesnt
appear to pose any
greater danger.
St oyanov, of
Hillsborough, was a patient at San
Mateo Medical Center March 5,
2013, when he started the late-night
fire on the first floor. After hospital
staff extinguished the small fire,
Stoyanov reportedly blocked him-
self in a hospital room with a chair
and hamper. When a nurse kicked the
door open, she reported seeing the
bed and floor on fire and Stoyanov
walking toward her swinging a knife.
Responding officers needed nearly
two hours and a Taser to negotiate
with and eventually apprehend him.
The re caused the evacuation of 29
rooms and chaos but little other damage
to the hospital.
Stoyanov pleaded no contest in
October to arson and assault on a peace
ofcer in return for no more than three
years prison. However, Judge Barbara
Mallach first wanted a diagnostic
assessment from the prison before

Couple looking for rental
apartment fell victim to scam
A South San Francisco couple searching
for an apartment were scammed after using
the website Zillow, according to police.
The couple was looking for a rental in San
Francisco in February when they found a
desirable listing for $815, according to
South San Francisco police.
A person claiming to be the property
owner instructed the victims to transfer
$815 via a MoneyGram service to
Jacqueline Garcia in Kansas City, Missouri.
The ctitious property owner also instruct-
ed the victims to provide the reference num-
ber so the transferred funds could be collect-
ed from any MoneyGram location, accord-
ing to police.
The scammers promised keys to the rental
apartment would be mailed to the victims
after the money was received but the keys
were never sent. All communications about
the rental were made over email and ceased
after the money was transferred, according
to police.
Anyone with information or who
believes they may be a victim of this type
of condence scam should contact South
San Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
Man accused of two masked

County prosecutors said.
Parker Zamora Ames, 21, of San Mateo,
entered the plea in exchange for a maximum
sentence of three years in state prison,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Ames was charged with the robbery on
Sept. 27 at a 7-Eleven store on North San
Mateo Drive in San Mateo and another rob-
bery on Oct. 1 at a Happy Donuts shop on
El Camino Real in Redwood City.
In both cases, Ames wore a mask a
Halloween devil mask in the rst heist and a
skeleton mask in the second and used a
knife to threaten the store clerk and take
cash, prosecutors said.
After the doughnut shop robbery, a wit-
ness saw Ames and followed him and helped
police identify him as the suspect.
Ames will return to court for sentencing
on Oct. 9.
Man robbed at gunpoint by
two suspects Saturday night
Aman was robbed at gunpoint by two sus-
pects while walking in South San Francisco
on Saturday night, according to police.
The robbery was reported around 10:30
p.m. Saturday in the 200 block of Orange
Avenue.

Half Moon Bay streets to be repaved
About 7 miles of streets in Half Moon
Bay will be repaved by the end of 2015 after
the City Council approved a plan last
month to resurface the remaining streets
identied within the citys rehabilitation
program.
The project will assist in the city com-
pleting the entire project within the next
two years, according to the city.
The city has rehabilitated about 17 out of
27 total miles of city maintained streets dur-
ing the last three scal years and has prior-
itized the work per recommendations made
by the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, according to the city.
In 2012, the MTC scored Half Moon Bay
streets as at risk and in need of repair to
prevent rapid deterioration.
The street rehabilitation program is paid
for through significant local and grant
funds, which includes money from Measure
J, a half-cent local sales tax approved by
voters in 2012, according to the city.
For more information about the project
and for a list of streets due for paving visit

Eldon E. Ellis
Eldon E. Ellis, M.D., born July 2, 1922,
died from complications of Parkinsons dis-
ease June 15, 2014.
Ellis was a well-known Redwood City and
Sequoia Hospital surgeon.
He leaves six children, two stepchildren,
11 grandchildren and four great-grandchil-
dren.
He loved to y and to sing and he loved
his family. The mothers of his children were
young when they died, both from cancer:
Dr. Irene Clay Ellis in 1968 and Priscilla
Strong Ellis, RN in 1990. These were dif-
cult years for Dr. Ellis and his children.
He invited Ginny Michael Sproul to join
his family in 1992 and she survives him.
Loved by his patients and respected by
his colleagues, Dr. Ellis was the embodi-
ment of the old-fashioned doctor; he fol-
lowed his patients at least a year or more
post surgery and he spent much time volun-
teering for medical organizations. When he
was honored as Redwood Citys Citizen of
the Year, as his car passed by in the parade,
former patients standing at the curb would
wave and point to various parts of their bod-
ies where he had performed surgery.
His memorial is 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8,
Peninsula Covenant Church, 3560 Farm
Hill Blvd., Redwood City.

NATION 7
By Douglas K. Daniel
WASHINGTON A major trait that
endeared Jim Brady to the Washington press
corps was his sense of humor, especially
when he made fun of his own boss.
When Ronald Reagan was campaigning
for president in 1980, Reagan drew scorn
from environmentalists for saying that
trees were a greater source of pollution than
cars. Aboard the campaign plane, Brady
pointed at a forest re in the distance and
yelled, Killer trees! Killer trees! to the
great amusement of reporters.
After the election, Reagans advisers
appeared hesitant to appoint Brady press
secretary. Nancy Reagan was said to feel the
job required someone younger and better-
looking than the 40-year-old, moon-faced,
balding Brady.
I come before you today not as just
another pretty face but out of sheer talent,
Brady told reporters. A week later, he got
the job.
Brady, who died Monday at 73, would
need humor and much more after March 30,
1981. On that day John Hinckley Jr.
attempted to assassinate Reagan outside the
Washington Hilton Hotel just two months
into the new presidents term. Reagan near-
ly died from a chest wound. Three others,
including Brady, were struck by bullets from
Hinckleys handgun.
Shot in the head, Brady lived through
hours of delicate surgery and then many
more operations over the years. But he
never recovered the normal use of his limbs
and was often in a wheelchair. Besides par-
tial paralysis from brain damage, he suf-
fered short-term memory impairment,
slurred speech and constant pain.
Still, along with his wife, Sarah, he went
on to become the face and as much as possi-
ble the voice of the gun-control movement
in the United States. Afederal law requiring
background checks for handgun buyers
bears his name, as does the White House
press brieng room.
Mrs. Reagan, the former rst lady, said
Monday she was deeply saddened to learn
of Jim Bradys passing today. Thinking of
him brings back so many memories
happy and sad of a time in all of our lives
when we learned what it means to play the
hand were dealt.
The lasting public image of Brady came
from the worst day of his life. Anews clip of
the 1981 shooting, replayed often on tele-
vision and in documentaries, showed him
sprawled on the sidewalk after several
Secret Service agents had hustled the
wounded president into his limousine and
others had pounced on Hinckley.
Although Brady returned to the White
House only briey, a year after the shoot-
ing, he was allowed to keep the title of pres-
idential press secretary and the $89,500
annual salary as assistant to the president
for press relations until Reagan left
ofce.
The TV replays did take a toll on Brady.
He told the Associated Press years later that
he relived the moment each time.
I want to take every bit of (that) lm ...
and put them in a cement incinerator, slosh
them with gasoline and throw a lighted cig-
arette in, he said.

WASHINGTON As President Barack
Obama immerses himself in talks on
Africas regional security, democracy build-
ing and business investment this week, the
worlds attention and much of his own
will be on an extraordinary array of urgent
overseas crises.
Obama is gathering nearly 50 African
heads of state in Washington for an
unprecedented summit aimed in part at
building his legacy on a
continent where his
commitment has been
questioned.
But recent world event
emphasize how hard it is
for the president to focus
attention on areas that he
chooses to promote. As
the conference begins
Monday, a number of
international events are competing for his
attention.
Among them: Gaza clashes, Russias
provocations in Ukraine and mounting
extremism in Iraq, to name just a few. An
outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West
Africa also threatens to cast a shadow over
the summit, with leaders from at least two
affected countries canceling plans to travel
to Washington and the U.S. setting up med-
ical screenings for other ofcials arriving
from those nations.
Its the nature of the world we live in
today where there are multiple crises at any
time, said Witney Schneidman, the former
deputy assistant secretary of state for
African affairs. But that should not para-
lyze us from moving forward on key areas
to advance our interests.
White House officials say the American
interests in Africa are immense. The con-
tinent is home to some of the worlds
fastest growing economies and a rapidly
expanding middle class. The U.S. is also
competing for those consumers with
China, which surpassed the United States
in 2009 as Africas largest trading part-
ner.

DONETSK, Ukraine Residents say the
eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk is dying.
The power grid was completely down
Monday, the city government said, and fuel
is running dry.
Store shelves are emptying fast, and
those who havent managed to ee must
drink untreated tap water. With little medi-
cine left, doctors are sending patients
home.
As Ukrainian government forces slowly
tighten their ring around the city one of
two major pro-Russian rebel strongholds
traveling in and out has become a per-
ilous undertaking.
In an impassioned statement released
over the weekend, mayor Sergei
Kravchenko described a situation that is
becoming more unsustainable by the day.
As a result of the blockade and ceaseless
rocket attacks, the city is on the verge of a
humanitarian catastrophe, Kravchenko
said. Citizens are dying on the streets, in
their courtyard and in their homes. Every
new day brings only death and destruc-
tion.
Luhansk, a city of more than 400,000
people at peacetime, now has seen its pop-
ulation dwindle as citizens ee violence
and deprivation. Located about an hours
drive from Russia, which Ukraine insists is
supplying rebels with weapons and man-
power, Luhansk is being ercely fought
over by all sides of the conict.
Shelling is a daily occurrence and the tar-
gets apparently quite random. On Saturday,
eight buildings were damaged by rockets.
These included a school, a supermarket and
several multistory apartment blocks,
Luhansk city government said.
Last week, a crucial electrical transformer
in Luhansk was hit by a shell, leading to an
80 percent drop in power supplies, accord-
ing to a report issued Monday by an
Organization for Security and Cooperation
in Europe monitoring mission.
Rebels accuse the army of waging a
vicious bombing campaign against the
civilian population. Authorities deny they
have used artillery against residential
neighborhoods and in turn accuse rebels of
shelling civilians as a way of discrediting
the army. This claim is faithfully repeated
by almost all Ukrainian media, although it
has been questioned by Human Rights
Watch and others.
With gas reserves all but exhausted, even
those willing to brave a drive out of the
city for supplies struggle to refill their
cars.
A little is getting through all the same,
mainly from Russia. Pro-rebel online tele-
vision station Luhansk-24 on Sunday car-
ried a report about a consignment of medic-
inal supplies reaching the city from the
southern Russian city of Saratov.
This was a visible reminder that supply
lines to Russia remain intact. With clashes
taking place at several spots surrounding
the city, however, maintaining a steady
convoy of goods is complicated.
The ght for control over the frontier has
been bitter.
Authorities concede that more than 60
miles (100 kilometers) of the Russian-
Ukrainian border remains in rebel hands.
The government says that Russia has been
flagrantly smuggling large amounts of
heavy weaponry and manpower to aid the
separatist cause.
Sandwiched between the border and rebel
fighters, government forces have suc-
cumbed to routine defeats and humiliations,
even as they appear to slowly gain the
upper hand in the ght to regain control of
the last rebel strongholds.
On Monday, a Russian border security
ofcial said more than 400 Ukrainian sol-
diers crossed into Russia.
The Russian official said the soldiers
deserted the Kiev government and that the
Russian side had opened a safe corridor. A
Ukrainian military ofcial, who did not
give a number for the soldiers involved,
said the troops were forced into Russian ter-
ritory by rebel re after running out of
ammunition.
East Ukraine city dying under siege
with an epicenter of the Sunnybrae neighbor-
hood, according to the district. Previous fog-
gings on June 19, July 19 and July 28
evenings focused in the North Central neigh-
borhood.
It denitely reduced the threat not just
because they tested negative, but mostly
because the trap numbers were much lower.
So the population was reduced a lot. So that
will help, but we could have a lot more warm
weather, Shelton said. So I wouldnt say
its gone from San Mateo for the summer. We
dont know that, but the immediate threat
was lessened.
Since its successful treatments, the district
picked up a few dead squirrels on Friday and
three dead birds on Monday, Shelton said.
The birds were found in Menlo Park, Ladera
and Redwood City. The district has in-house
equipment to test the birds and expects
results Tuesday, but the squirrels will be sent
off-site and the cause of their death will take
more time to determine, Shelton said.
San Mateo has been notorious for having
high numbers of culex mosquitoes the
genus that caries West Nile virus, the dis-
tricts Assistant Manager Brian Weber said.
Although San Mateo has been the focus of
the recent foggings, Weber said, it also con-
ducted an abatement treatment in Ladera, near
Portola Valley.
The district hadnt conducted a fogging
abatement treatment since 2006 and Weber
said it covered roughly 3.5 square miles in
the last month and a half alone.
Considering that we have West Nile, its
the busiest season that I can remember,
Weber said. Obviously, it feels good for all
of us. Everyones waiting on those results
and when we get them back, obviously
everyone here gets excited that our efforts
were successful.
The district has made some changes since
it rst started fogging, including using a new
chemical and providing residents with more
notice. During its last two abatement treat-
ments it used the adulticide Zenivex, which
the Environmental Protection Agency has
determined to be less harmful and safe for
urban use.
It has also closely collaborated with the
San Mateo city ofcials and police to pro-
vide more notice to residents before fogging.
Prior to last Wednesdays treatment, notice
was sent out 36 hours in advance via Nixel,
NextDoor.com, the San Mateo County Alert
system, through social media and press
releases, police Sgt. Rick Decker wrote in an
email. It also used a rapid notify reverse
phone system and called 2,990 residents in
the affected area, Decker wrote.
Residents complained after the rst two
foggings that they were only given a few
hours notice and Weber said the city manag-
ers ofce and police have been an invaluable
help in getting the word out.
Weber said West Nile reports have also
increased statewide but a cause has yet to be
determined. According to the states West
Nile website, Santa Clara County has had
496 reports of West Nile infected dead birds
this year, nearly half of the entire amount
found statewide. Weber said the district is
continuing to communicate with Santa Clara
County ofcials and share information.
Were going to continue to monitor and
make sure it isnt in San Mateo County,
Weber said. But unfortunately thats all you
can do, is continue to monitor and when we
nd something, react as quickly as possi-
ble.

Overgrown trees versus
San Bruno and other cities
Editor,
Congratulations to San Brunos
tree cutting department. You can be 8
feet tall and not get hurt by the trees.
You can ride a bicycle, no problem.
The trees look absolutely beautiful
and you can actually see the busi-
nesses behind the trees which should
improve their sales. It is pleasurable
to walk south on El Camino Real on
the east side but dont cross into
Millbrae or their trees will hit you in
the face.

Response to Big
win for high-speed rail
Editor,
Regarding the article, Big win for
high-speed rail in the Aug. 1 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, you should
have included Big win for SEIU and
other state-involved unions! Huge
loss for tax paying citizens of
California! Stop high-speed rail
before it totally bankrupts
California and its tax-paying citi-
zens. It will never pay for itself. It
will always require taxpayer support.
Look at BART for example. It will
be fraught with design and construc-
tion errors look at the $1 billion
suspension span of the Oakland side
of the Bay Bridge. Look at cost over-
runs due to lousy construction cost
estimates.
Californians, wake up! We dont
even properly maintain the infra-
structure we presently have look
at our highways and byways. Do you
really want to subsidize high-speed
rail tickets when youre having trou-
ble paying for really necessary stuff?
Who needs the high-speed rail
other than the ever-expanding gov-
ernment?
M. F. Gates
El Granada
Stop high-speed rail
Editor,
Jerry Brown and Willie Brown were
instrumental in changing plans for
the east span of the Bay Bridge from
a practical replacement structure into
a signature engineering marvel.
Ten years of delays and 500 percent
cost overruns were the result. Current
reports indicate there will be crimi-
nal indictments coming regarding
contracting fraud and taxpayers can
expect to pay excessive retrofit and
maintenance costs for this engi-
neering marvel in the future.
The current court decision requires
the Legislature to act to end high-
speed rail. The Democrat-dominated
state Legislature will not do any-
thing that goes against Jerry Brown.
Gov. Brown has made high-speed rail
his latest signature project. No train
system in the world operates without
government subsidies. The original
bond measure stating that the train
would be built and run independently
from state funding cannot be met.
Already, the state budget includes the
hidden high-speed rail tax cap-
and-trade money diverted to keep the
High-Speed Rail Authority funded.
Construction jobs can be provided
be replacing 100-year-old water
mains, upgrading gas piping and
repairing roads and bridges. Roads
and bridges are needed for freight
transportation even if reduced single
occupancy car commuting is a long-
term goal. The state is doomed to
funnel money into this boondoggle
unless voters wise up and reject Jerry
Browns steadfast support for it.
Jerry Brown has done a lot of things
right, but we do not need a repeat of
the Bay Bridge fiasco, especially for
high-speed rail projected to cost $68
billion from the start.

Spraying to fight West Nile
Editor,
Samantha Weigels article,
Fighting West Nile, in the Aug. 2
edition of the Daily Journal reminds
us that this is, indeed, a community
effort. The potential for West Nile in
the county is real and should concern
everyone. One of the ways to combat
this disease is to eradicate it through
spraying, which is what the County
Vector Control did last Wednesday.
While there was ample notice that
spraying would take place in the
Sunnybrae neighborhood, this was
not the case when spraying took
place in the Hayward Park area. In
fact, the only notice that was sent
was through the SMPD Alert System
and this took place late afternoon
Wednesday.
It seems that Brian Weber, the dis-
tricts assistant manager, and his
office was negligent in giving a
timely 24-hour notice, both in the
newspaper and through SMPD,
before spraying the area. While the
chemical compound used is not dead-
l y, it can cause problems for those
with respiratory issues and in young
children.
Let us hope that the San Mateo
County Mosquito and Vector Control
District will be more responsible in
alerting those who live in the areas
to be sprayed so that the residents
can shelter-in-place and protect
those who are vulnerable.

Immigrants
Editor,
An old pastor once shared this:
We always have food for weary visi-
tors, but we are wise enough not to
post signs that say free food
daily.
In his Aug. 1 letter, Aliens or
refugees, Mr. Caggiano called upon
Christian compassion to help those
in desperation. I hope he also
remembers the hundreds of thousands
of Christians in the Arab World fac-
ing death threats I bet many of
them would prefer Menlo Park to
Mosul right now. How about the mil-
lions displaced by the Syrian civil
war? I imagine some of those parents
would gladly lay their lives down so
their kids can live in San Mateo and
attend Aragon High School instead
of languishing in Turkish refugee
camps. And the tens of millions in
Africa in the grip of Ebola panic
the chance of making Brisbane home
could entice some to undertake mor-
tal risks to come.
Compassion begins at home. Mr.
Caggiano, let us know how many
16-year-old children with gang his-
tory your spare bedroom will house.
Four of them just beat a UCLAstu-
dent to death; but I am sure all others
are law-abiding angels. And dont
forget a front yard sign: Free bed-
room, food included.

Two-faced Americans
Editor,
How many civilians did the United
States kill when delivering the
Shock and Awe bombing of Iraq?
We learned collateral damage
meant civilian deaths, and it was
unavoidable in the greater goal of
stopping evil.
Why now do we criticize the only
democracy in the Middle East, when
they respond to missile attacks from
terrorists and incur collateral damage
of some of the human shields? How
two-faced can we get? Why do we
hold Israel to a higher standard than
our own?

All that remains
S
ince were in the dog days of summer, seems
only appropriate to consider what to do when
Fluffy and Fidos days are no more.
Personally, I do not plan on having this quandary
because I made Riley and Oliver both promise never to
grow old and to never die. The boys had a bit of a prob-
lem with the pinky swear the dewclaw had to suffice
but they seemed to be onboard. They didnt really
know what forever is but if it is filled with dog treats
and the squeaky ball, theyre good. As the keeper of
the treats and ball, I just have to figure out a way to
stay eternal myself.
But on the off chance that the pups one day find
themselves headed to that great park in the sky and
if they cant stop rolling around in dirt or dismantling
their bed I might be the one that sends them there it
seems there are now several burial options.
Used to be one took their beloved furry, feathered or
scaly pet companion
to the veterinarian,
the bathroom or the
backyard at the end of
their lives. Now,
though, the annual
$56 billion pet indus-
try is expanding past
the sparkle collar,
holiday sweaters and
dog therapists to bur-
ial, cremation and
unique send-offs way
outside the funeral
box.
In Florida, a compa-
ny will lift a pet to
heaven literally.
The Eternal Ascent Society puts the remains in a 5-foot
round helium balloon and releases in a location of the
familys choosing. About 5 miles above the ground,
the balloon breaks apart and the ashes are scattered to
the wind. The price tag? Three-hundred-and-ninety-nine
dollars although a bigger balloon (maybe for a Great
Dane or mastiff?) carries a bigger price tag. So does a
videotape of the event which is probably going to be
just as appreciated by houseguests as wedding and birth
footage.
If thats not your thing, an Illinois company called
LifeGem can turn your pet into a synthetic diamond.
Depending on size, the process ranges from $1,999 to
$24,999. Ive got two dogs one for each ear! After
all, my overly social Jack Russell does fancy himself a
bit of a stud so a post earring seems a bit fitting.
The Earth-friendly types might prefer aquamation
which is sort of like cremation but using water-based
technology called alkaline hydrolysis that results in
powdery sand-like ashes. My Ollie isnt much of a
water fan so that would just seem mean, even in the
afterlife.
For pets that are out of this world, maybe send their
remains to exactly that place. Celestis Pets, an off-
shoot of a company that is already giving the Gene
Roddenberry treatment to humans, now offers the serv-
ice for their animals. Asmall bit of the ashes are
placed in a container and shipped as part of other space
trips like that of satellites. Loving them to the moon
and back well, maybe not back will set you back
at least $12,500 but a trip around the Earth is a mere
$4, 995. And for the cost-conscious, the remains can
make a quick jaunt to the edge of space and come back
to his or her owner for $995.
This last choice would likely mark the only time
either of my dogs came back to me when I wanted them
to. That might be reason enough to consider a little
posthumous trip.
Or I could just go for the old standby of taxidermy or
freeze-drying. Riley has a habit of blocking his little
brother from passing so if he goes first Ill use his
statue to keep Oliver in line. I wont even need to
worry about an open front door. Rileys fuzzy little
body will literally act as a guard dog.
As interesting, if not quite bizarre, as these
approaches are to consider, I neednt worry my head
about them. As I said, the dogs have promised to stick
around for the long haul. Yet just in case, its good to
know that disposal neednt be beastly.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
staged a late-day rally Monday, help-
ing push the Dow Jones industrial
average higher for the rst time in a
week.
Investors had a couple pieces of pos-
itive news to get behind: a decent earn-
ings report from Berkshire Hathaway
and the announcement of a rescue
package for a struggling Portuguese
bank.
However, investors remain cautious
after last weeks sell-off, which gave
the Standard & Poors 500 index its
worst ve-day period in more than two
years.
Everyone is double-checking their
own portfolio after what happened last
week, said Jack Ablin, chief invest-
ment ofcer at BMO Private Bank in
Chicago.
The Dow rose 75.91 points, or 0.5
percent, to 16,569.28. Its the rst
time the blue chip index has posted a
gain since July 28.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 13.84 points, or 0.7 percent, to
1,938.99 and the Nasdaq composite
added 31.25 points, or 0.7 percent, to
4,383.89.
Berkshire Hathaway, the company
run by Warren Buffett, helped give the
market an early boost Monday.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based compa-
ny reported late Friday a prot of $6.4
billion last quarter, helped by its insur-
ance division Geico, which performed
well above Wall Streets expectations.
Berkshires investment portfolio was
also a big driver of prots. The compa-
nys Class B stock rose $3.89, or 3
percent, to $129.70, one of the
biggest gain in the S&P 500.
Michael Kors was the biggest
decliner in the S&P 500, falling
$4.82, or 6 percent, to $77.01. While
the handbag and womens fashion
company reported a rise in second
quarter earnings, the companys prot
margin shrank for the second consecu-
tive quarter.
The news out of Portugal also helped
the market.
Portugals central bank said late
Sunday it would shore up Banco
Espirito Santo, one of the countrys
biggest financial institutions.
Portugals PSI 20 index rose 1 percent
on the news.
Portugals banking woes were one of
many catalysts for last weeks market
sell-off. While Portugals economy is
small, strategists say that the euro-
zones economy is fragile enough that
Portugals woes could spread. Europe
just exited its latest recession a year
ago, while the U.S. emerged from its
last recession in 2009.
The tensions between Europe and
Russia, the eurozones biggest trading
partner, over the ongoing conict in
Ukraine only added to the problems
facing the continent.
These types of things are going to
hurt the European economy and it
couldnt impact the region at a worse
time, Ablin said.
Last weeks market rout, where the
S&P 500 fell nearly 3 percent in ve
days, remains front and center in
investors minds. It was the worst
week for the index since June 2012.
With Mondays gains, it was the Dows
third positive day in the last 10 ses-
sions.
There does appear to be a little cau-
tion in the markets, said Alpari ana-
lyst Craig Erlam. Investors are a little
concerned that the sell-off which start-
ed last week is not over and could lead
to something much bigger.
Utility stocks were among the
biggest decliners. Consolidated
Edison, PG&E and Duke Energy fell
roughly 1 percent. The Dow Jones util-
ity index, which includes 15 utility
stocks, fell 1 percent.
Currency markets were at. The dol-
lar was steady at 102.56 yen and the
euro held at $1.3422.
In energy trading, oil rose for the
rst day in a week. Benchmark U.S.
crude oil rose 41 cents to $98.29 a bar-
rel on the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
Stocks stage late-day rally; Utilities lag

NEWYORK Travelers, prepare to pay
more for your ight.
The average roundtrip ticket within the
U.S., including taxes, reached $509.15 in
the rst six months of this year, up nearly
$14 from the same period last year.
Domestic airfare continues to outpace ina-
tion, rising 2.7 percent compared to the 2.1
percent gain in the Consumer Price Index.
Airfare has gone up 10.7 percent in the
past ve years after adjusting for ina-
tion according to an Associated Press
analysis of data from the Airlines Reporting
Corp., which processes ticket transactions
for airlines and more than 9,400 travel
agencies, including websites such as
Expedia and Orbitz.
The formula for rising fares seems sim-
ple, but it eluded the airlines for years:
Match the supply of seats to passenger
demand.
Airlines have reduced the number of
seats while more people want to y because
of the economic recovery. All this leads to
higher airfares, says Chuck Thackston,
managing director of data and analytics at
Airlines Reporting Corp. This trend in air-
fares is likely to continue for the near
future, as the economy continues to grow.
These days, fares only capture part of the
cost of ying. Many passengers pay extra
to check their luggage, typically $50
roundtrip for the rst bag and $70 for the
second one. But bag fees havent changed
much in the past few years. Now, the air-
lines are increasingly enticing passengers
to pay for fast-track security lines, early
boarding, additional legroom and other
extras that can add from $9 to $299 to the
cost of a ight.
So, for example, a $300 ticket can bal-
loon to $450 on some airlines if you check
two bags and pay $30 for a little more room
to stretch your legs.
And travelers arent nding much relief
after landing. The average nightly price of a
hotel room in the U.S. during the rst half
of this year was $113.80, according travel
research company STR. Thats up $4.47, or
4 percent, from the same period in 2013.
Most people are traveling for work. And
when the economy is strong, they do more
ying. Data released by the government
last week shows that economic growth
bounced back after a brutal winter, business-
es are creating jobs at a steady pace and con-
sumer spending is on the rise.
The Global Business Travel Association
predicts that worldwide business travel will
grow 6.9 percent this year to a record $1.18
trillion. The United States is the business
largest travel market, with travelers spend-
ing $274 billion last year, a 4.5-percent
increase over 2012.
Baggage fees and some others were intro-
duced in 2008 to offset losses from rising
fuel prices. However, this year airlines are
actually paying less for fuel $2.96 a gal-
lon so far, 7.2 percent less than last year,
when adjusted for ination.
Passengers arent seeing any of those
savings. One reason is that airlines no
longer need to entice iers with lower fares.
There are simply fewer choices today.
A wave of consolidation that started in
2008 has left four U.S. airlines American
Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest
Airlines and United Airlines controlling
more than 80 percent of the domestic air-
travel market.

LinkedIn pays $6M in
unpaid wages, damages
NEW YORK Professional networking
service LinkedIn has agreed to pay nearly
$6 million in unpaid wages and damages to
359 current and former employees, the
Labor Department said on Monday.
The U.S. Department of Labor said an
investigation found LinkedIn Corp. in vio-
lation of overtime and record-keeping rules
that are part of the federal Fair Labor
Standards Act. It said the violations
occurred at company branches in
California, Illinois, Nebraska and New
York.
Mountain View-based LinkedIn said in a
statement that it was eager to work
closely with the (Labor Department) to
quickly and equitably rectify this situa-
tion. This was a function of not having
the right tools in place for a small subset
of our sales force to track hours properly;
prior to the (Labor Department)
approaching us, we had already begun to
remedy this.
The company agreed to pay the back
wages once it was notied of the violations
and to take steps to prevent them from hap-
pening again.
Federal law requires that hourly employ-
ees get paid 1.5 times their regular hourly
rates for hours they work beyond 40 per
week.
Business brief

NEWYORK Wal-Mart, in its latest bid
to compete with nemesis Amazon.com, is
rebuilding its website to further personalize
the online shopping experience of each cus-
tomer.
Wal-Mart is rolling out a feature that will
enable its website to show shoppers more
products that they may like, based on previ-
ous purchases. It will also customize Wal-
Marts home page for each shopper based on
the customers location, local weather and
the customers search and purchase history.
So if a new mom just bought a stroller or
crib on Walmart.com, the revamped website
might recommend diapers and car seats, too.
And if someone who lives in Dallas searches
the website for sports jerseys, Walmart.com
could suggest Rangers or Dallas Cowboy
gear.
The increased personalization is part of a
series of changes to improve the online
shopping experience of its customers that
are rolling out now and over the next few
months. The retailer is looking to boost its
business online at a time when its U.S. dis-
count division has seen disappointing sales.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.s e-commerce sales
increased by 30 percent to over $10 billion
in its scal year that ended Jan. 31. By
comparison, Wal-Marts U.S. discount divi-
sion has had ve straight quarters of sales
declines at stores opened at least a year.
Wal-Mart sees big growth opportunity in
the online business: Online sales still are
only a fraction of the $473 billion Wal-
Mart generated in overall annual revenue,
dwarfed by Amazons $60.9 billion in annu-
al sales.
The move to personalize websites for
shoppers has become a top priority for tradi-
tional brick-and-mortar retailers like Wal-
Mart as they play catch up with
Amazon.com, the online king that pio-
neered customizing content for shoppers.
Retailers increasingly are trying to use their
reams of customer data they get from mobile
devices and computers to personalize their
websites and ultimately, boost sales.

Walgreens top nancial ofcer is leaving
the largest U.S. drugstore chain as it nears a
key decision about its future that could
involve a politically touchy overseas reor-
ganization.
Walgreen said Monday it will replace
Wade Miquelon with former Kraft Foods
executive Timothy McLevish as executive
vice president and chief nancial ofcer,
effective immediately. Miquelon, 49, had
served as a senior leader in the drugstore
chains multibillion-dollar collaboration
with Swiss health and beauty retailer
Alliance Boots. He had joined the board of
Alliance Boots, which runs the largest drug-
store chain in the United Kingdom. A
Walgreen spokesman said Miquelon was not
terminated and would continue to work tem-
porarily for Walgreen as an adviser, but he is
leaving the board of Alliance Boots.
Walgreen Co., which runs more than
8,200 drugstores, bought a 45 percent stake
in Alliance Boots a few years ago and will
announce soon whether it plans to buy the
rest. The Deereld, Illinois, company also
is considering an overseas combination
called an inversion with Alliance Boots that
could reduce its U.S. corporate tax bill.
In an inversion, a U.S. corporation reor-
ganizes in another country with a lower tax
rate, often as part of a new company created
through a combination with another busi-
ness.

With one early swing of the bat by
Encinitas, Pacica American was forced to
play catch-up the rest of the evening.
The offensive juggernaut from Northern
California never did catch up, as Encinitas
downed Pacica American 9-7 Monday at
the Little League Baseball West Regional
Tournament at Al Houghton Stadium in San
Bernardino.
Southern California-champion Encinitas
scored ve runs in the rst inning, backed
by a grand slam home run by Nico Ortega.
Pacica twice closed to within one run, with
Encinitas leading 5-4 after two innings, and
7-6 after three. With Encinitas taking a 9-6
lead into the sixth inning, Pacica rallied in
its nal at-bat; but after Elijah Ricks scored
on a wild pitch, Pacica stranded the poten-
tial tying runs on base as Encinitas closer
Spencer Jones shut the door with two con-
secutive strikeouts.
One more hit in each one of those
innings I think we could have taken the
lead, Pacica manager Steve Falk said. It
wasnt one particular point, but we did have
our opportunities.
Jones worked 3 1/3 innings, allowing
one run (none earned) on two hits while
striking out eight. Ryan Martinez tabbed
the win in relief after 1 1/3 innings of work.
Pacica right-hander Christian Falk took
the loss, working 3 2/3 innings while sur-
rendering just three hits, but he was charged
with seven runs (one earned). The Pacica
defense committed ve errors in the game.
We hit the ball hard, Coach Falk said.
It was just our defense. It just let us down.
We should have won that game 7-1.
With the loss, Pacicas record falls to 1-
2 in the tourney. Round-robin play con-
cludes Tuesday for Pacica with an 11 a.m.
matchup against the Nevada state champion
Mountain Ridge. Of the six-team eld, the
teams with the top four records through
pool play advance to Fridays semifinal
round. Pacica (1-2) is currently in fourth
place, trailing Hawaii (3-0), Nevada (2-0)

SanFranciscos PabloSandoval drives in a pair of runs with this third-inning double.He drove in the game-winning run in the ninth of the Gi-
ants 4-3 win over the New York Mets Monday.
By Doug Gould
NEWYORK His nickname is Kung Fu
Panda. The New York Mets probably have
other, not so cute, monikers for Pablo
Sandoval.
Sandoval drove in three runs with three
hits, including a go-ahead double with two
outs in the ninth inning Monday that pro-
pelled the San Francisco Giants to a 4-3 vic-
tory over the New York Mets.
You know Pablo, he gets a little anxious
sometimes, manager Bruce Bochy said.
But you can tell hes comfortable up there
and seeing the ball well and he fought off
some tough pitches, too. Not once, but two,
three times today.
San Francisco took three of four at Citi
Field while the Mets dropped a home series
for the rst time since June 10-12 against
Milwaukee.
Sandoval, who hit a two-run double in the
third off Dillon Gee that tied the game at 2,
delivered again in the ninth.
Gregor Blanco singled with two outs off
Mets closer Jenrry Mejia (5-4). Blanco
stole second and, after Buster Posey drew
his fourth walk of the game, Sandoval sliced
a ground-rule double into the seats down the
left-eld line.
Mejia, the Mets sixth pitcher of the after-
noon, had allowed just one earned run since
June 18.
I dont try to do too much in those situa-
tions, Sandoval said. I just try to get a
good pitch to hit. I try to focus on the
moment.
Sandoval is hitting .344 (32 for 93 over
his past 23 games. The 2012 World Series
MVP has 13 hits in his last 25 at-bats with
runners in scoring position.
Sergio Romo (5-3) got the win with one

Six youth softball teams from the
Peninsula qualified for the American
Softball Association Western Nationals
tournament in Roseville last week and while
none came home with a title, all experi-
enced various levels of success.
The San Mateo Slammers and the Foster
City Flash sent a pair of teams one to the
under-10 and another to the under-12 B tour-
naments. The San Bruno Storm had a team
represented in the U10 tournament, while
the Redwood City Wicked participated in
the U12 bracket.
The tournament started with pool play,
where none of the teams had a tremendous
amount of success, but once the double-
elimination brackets started, the local
teams showed their mettle.
In the U10 tournament, the San Mateo
Slammers experienced the most success in
bracket play. After going 0-2 in pool play,
the Slammers won their rst game in brack-
et play, beating the Pleasanton Phantom 5-
2. They were sent into the losers bracket
following a 10-1 loss to Carlsbad before
beating the Campbell Crush 13-7 and the
West Valley Slammers 8-7.
Their tournament came to an end, howev-
er, with a 13-0 loss to La Habra.
The San Bruno Storm got off to a quick
start in bracket play, after going 1-1 in pool
play. They opened with a 10-7 win over
Campbell, but suffered consecutive losses
to Downey, 17-1, and the Alameda Blaze, 8-
5, to end their tournament run.
The Foster City Flash went 1-1 in pool
play, but came up short in their rst bracket
matchup, falling 7-2 to PQ Lightning. The
Flash rebounded, however, to win their next
two games a 19-1 demolition of Five
Cities All-Stars before pulling out a 6-5 vic-
tory over the Santa Maria Bomb Squad. An
11-5 loss to Charter Oak, however, ended
Foster Citys summer season.
In the U12 tournament, the San Mateo
Slammers won their rst three games to
move into the quarternals. After an 0-2
start in pool play, the Slammers beat the
Hanford Flames 10-2, PYL 3-2 and the
Pleasanton Phantom 9-3 to move into the
nal eight of the tournament.
A 7-6 loss to Alpine, however, sent the
Summer softball season all but over for local teams
S
ocial media has revolutionized
how information is disseminated,
especially in the world of sports.
Score updates, outstanding performances
and upsets can now be sent out in the time
it takes someone to thumb their away
across a smartphone to send out the info.
Social media denitely has its draw-
backs, however, especially if you are an
athlete who is being recruited to play in
college. Not watching what you put on
social media can cost high school and
junior college ath-
letes college scholar-
ships.
While scrolling
through my Twitter
account Monday, I
ran across a re-Tweet
from a college coach
who said he was glad
he didnt offer an ath-
lete a scholarship
after going through
the athletes digital
presence online.
You really have to be careful, said
Frankie Ferrari, the reigning Daily
Journal Boys Basketball Player of the
Year and recent Burlingame graduate who
will play at University of San Francisco
this winter.
Ferrari said when he was younger, he
really didnt give much thought to what
he put on social media, but as he started
the recruiting process and college coaches
and their staffs started following him on
websites like Twitter, he realized how
important it was to watch what he put out
there.
As I grew, I started taking it more seri-
ously. I had to make more of a conscious
effort, Ferrari said. I was never putting
anything (bad) out there, but as I got
coaches following me, it donned on me
you have to watch what you say because it
could come back to haunt you.
Ive heard stories of guys who were
tagged in posts and there were things in
the background (that got them in trouble).

BERKELEY Attorneys representing the
family of former California football player
Ted Agu are planning to le a wrongful death
lawsuit against the Regents of the University
of California.
Agu died following an offseason training
run Feb. 7. Los Angeles-based rm Panish,
Shea & Boyle said in a news release Monday
that Cals training staff
took too long to respond
to Agus symptoms of
extreme fatigue during
the run.
A news conference is
scheduled for Tuesday at
the Alameda County
Courthouse in Oakland to
announce the suit.
During the course of
the conditioning drill, Agu experienced dizzi-
ness, shortness of breath, loss of balance, and
other signs of extreme fatigue that were clear-
ly symptomatic of the sickling process, the
law rm said in its release. Despite the symp-
toms which clearly could and should have
been observed, UCB coaches and trainers
failed to immediately come to Agus assis-
tance.
It was only after Agu struggled and encoun-
tered obvious difculties for a signicant peri-
od of time that intervention occurred and he
was placed on a cart and taken back towards
the stadium where he collapsed for the last
time.
The release mentioned sickling, which
would indicate Agu had sickle cell trait. Asked
to clarify Agus medical condition, family
attorney Robert Glassman said more details of
the case would be announced at Tuesdays news
conference.
Cals athletic department said in a statement
that it could not comment on the pending liti-
gation because ofcials havent seen the law-
suit.
The members of our football family and
our entire campus community remain deeply
saddened with the loss of Ted Agu, the
statement read. We will continue to honor
Ted in all we do. He will forever be a beloved
member of our Golden Bear family. We have
heard reports that a lawsuit may be led this
week against the University. Because we
have not seen the lawsuit, we cannot speak
to the specics of this pending action and
respectfully decline comment at this time.
Whether Agu had any pre-existing medical
conditions diagnosed by the university is
unknown. The Alameda County Coroners
ofce said in April that Agu died of hyper-
trophic cardiomyopathy, which is an exces-
sive thickening of the heart muscle.
Team physician Dr. Casey Batten said in
February that the medical staff saw Agu had
difculty completing the workout and he
was transferred by cart about 150 yards to
the football stadium.
He was on the back of the cart, he was
talking, he was hydrating, he did not exhib-
it any labored breathing or other signs until
he got to the north tunnel, Batten said.
Agu collapsed when he got to the medical
facility at the Simpson Center at the stadi-
um around 7 a.m., emergency medical per-
sonnel were alerted and Agu was given CPR.
He was taken to Alta Bates Medical Center,
where he was pronounced dead.
Batten said Agu never had any previous
problems with workouts or practice at Cal.
Agu, a 21-year-old defensive end from
Bakerseld, was going to be a fth-year
senior this season. He arrived on campus as
a walk-on before earning a scholarship last
year. He played seven games last season,
recording six tackles.

STANFORD Stanford coach David Shaw
walked over to reporters following Mondays
rst training camp practice for what has prac-
tically become an annual tradition: elding
questions about several key contributors to
replace.
Shaws team has provided emphatic
answers in each of his rst three seasons. He
expects the same this fall.
I think our guys take a
lot of pride in that, Shaw
said.
Finding a way to reload
and not just replace
team leaders each year has
helped carry the Cardinal
to consecutive Pac-12
championships and Rose
Bowl berths.
Toby Gerhart, Jim
Harbaugh and Andrew
Luck are just a few of the notable names
Stanford has seen move on to successful NFL
careers in recent years. Running back Tyler
Gaffney, linebackers Trent Murphy and
Shayne Skov and four starters on the offen-
sive line were among this summers biggest
departures.
Losing such talent can take some programs
a year or more to recover. At Stanford, the
next man up mentality so many teams tout
has been done enough now that players are
confident the transition will again go
smoothly.
Something weve always talked about, but
something weve been preaching a lot this
year: Its not so much who we are, its what
we are, said senior wide receiver and All-
America kick returner Ty Montgomery, who
participated in the unpadded practice but will
be held out of non-contact drills for now as he
comes back from offseason surgery on his
right shoulder.
Were a product of the ones before us, each
other and the ones that follow, Montgomery
said. No matter who goes out there, no mat-
ter who puts on a Stanford uniform, were a
product of the program. And every guy is
going to be a Stanford football player. And
thats pretty much it.
Even with a tough schedule that includes
road games at Oregon, UCLA, Arizona State
and Notre Dame, Shaw is optimistic about his
teams chances.
Quarterback Kevin Hogan is back for his
redshirt junior season and Montgomery and
Devon Cajuste anchor a deep and talented
receivers group. The tight ends, led by red-
shirt freshman Austin Hooper, are expected
to re-emerge as a part of the offense. And the
one returning starter on the line, junior left
tackle Andrus Peat, is already being men-
tioned as a top NFL draft pick next year.
While four of Peats fellow offensive line
starters are gone, their replacements have
played signicant time in the Cardinals
power package. Coaches believe the unit
could even be among the best Stanford has
had during its recent run of excellence, which
includes four straight seasons with at least 11
wins.
Its like my children. I look at them, and I
cant believe theyre three years older, said
offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren, who
also coaches the offensive line. Theyve
been around for three years, now theyre the
old guys and theyre teaching the freshmen
and putting their arm around these freshmen.
I feel like Im in a time warp a little bit.
Some of the most important spots to l l
will be on defense, where Stanford lost all-
conference players in Skov, Murphy, defen-
sive end Ben Gardner and free safety Ed
Reynolds. They also were the loudest and
most respected voices in the locker room.
Strong safety Jordan Richards and inside
linebacker A.J. Tarpley will anchor the
defense this season. And just like their prede-
cessors, they will be expected to bring along
the underclassmen and continue the units
winning ways.
When guys dont get the attention that
some people say they dont deserve or do
deserve, all it does for these guys on this
team is bring everybody closer, Tarpley
said. And you want to work as hard as ever to
kind of quiet everybody down.

SANTA CLARA Colin
Kaepernick cradled his eight-
month-old nephew, Ezekiel, in his
arms, then lifted the infant into the
air, gently bouncing him up and
down.
A few feet away, Bruce Miller
bumped sts with fans draped over
the rst row of seats. And Vernon
Davis ashed a megawatt smile,
pointing playfully at the legion of
fans chanting his name.
The San Francisco 49ers are get-
ting ready for their new house of
energy and emotion.
The team conducted its rst train-
ing camp practice at Levis Stadium
on Monday afternoon, getting
familiar not only with its new home
eld, but also thousands of fans who
ocked to the stadium for a public
practice and then got an opportuni-
ty to mingle with players afterward.
An allotted total of 10,000 tick-
ets were distributed for the practice
through an internet lottery, and with
fans cheering and a sound system
blaring, the 49ers already were feel-
ing right at home.
As soon as I stepped foot out
there, they were playing music, and
I just got to dancing and every-
thing, wide receiver Quinton
Patton said. It felt pretty good.
The 49ers have been practicing
all summer next door at their team
complex, watching the nishing
touches being put on the $1.2 bil-
lion stadium that will replace
Candlestick Park in San Francisco,
where the team has played its home
games since 1971.
They were eager to nally get
action on the new eld in advance of
their preseason opener on Thursday
against the Ravens in Baltimore.
The 49ers christen Levis Stadium
with their preseason opener against
the Denver Broncos on Aug. 17.
It was really the rst experience
that all of us got to step on the eld,
and I feel like we had fun with it,
especially with the fans being
there, cornerback Chris Cook said.
They give you that little bit of
extra energy that you dont always
have every day out there. Just to
hear them cheering us motivates us,
and it gives you a good feel of how
its going to be.
The 68,500-seat facility features
HD 13 video boards on the north and
south ends that each measure 200
feet by 48 feet, giving fans not only
prime vantage points of the action,
but also replays of the action.
Like other players, Cook often
found himself looking up at the tow-
ering video screens. He had a better
reason to do so than most, after
leaping in front of receivers to make
two interceptions on long passes
during team drills.
Cook spent most of the day prac-
ticing with the rst-team defense as
projected starting cornerbacks
Chris Culliver and Tramaine Brock
both sat out with minor ailments.
Yeah, I looked up there a few
times to see if I was going to be on
there, Cook said. Especially after
I caught those two picks. Its always
fun to be on the big screen, espe-
cially when youre doing something
good.
Coach Jim Harbaugh used the ses-
sion to get his players acclimated to
the atmosphere and new playing
conditions.
He had his team ease into practice
on a eld that features different trac-
tion than the teams three practice
elds some 100 yards to the east.
New grass surface, and we want
our guys to get their feet under
them, Harbaugh said. Thats what
we have to get used to. The way we
were used to Candlestick, the grass
there, the sight lines, sun angles,
the surface, the environment, the
way the wind blows, what the ags
do. Weve got to get used to it all.
Harbaugh would also like to get
used to the comfort of a home crowd
that began to fester during
Mondays practice.
Harbaugh quickly grew to appreci-
ate the home-eld advantage the
49ers had at Candlestick while he
became the rst coach in NFLhisto-
ry to guide his team to a conference
championship game in each of his
rst three seasons as coach.
You want to mark your territory,
Harbaugh said. We want to do that.
We dont want to look at it as just a
possibility, we want to make it a
home-eld advantage. I think we
have the players to do that. Weve
always counted on our crowd to be
behind us and they always are.
Hopefully well play good and
theyre behind us and well do just
that, make it a great home-eld
advantage like Candlestick was.
Notes: The 49ers signed undraft-
ed rookie free agent RB Glenn
Winston to a three-year contract and
waived/injured RB Kendall Hunter.

ment in his right knee during train-

49ers hold first practice at Levis Stadium
By Michael Wagaman
NAPA Andre Holmes is the
biggest wide receiver on the Oakland
Raiders roster.
Hes playing like it, too.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 210-pound has
been quarterback Matt Schaubs
most consistent downeld threat
since the team began practicing, fol-
lowing up on a surprising 2013 cam-
paign in which Holmes led the club
in yards per catch after missing the
rst ve games.
That has elevated the former
undrafted free agent atop Oaklands
rst depth chart released by the team.
While that holds about as much
signicance as scoring touchdowns
in practice, its a denite sign of the
Raiders believe that Holmes can
solve the question of who will be the
teams number one receiver in 2014.
Along strider, has a big burst up
the eld, can separate and then go up
and get the football ... exactly what
you want from a receiver, Schaub
said Monday. Im excited to see
what he can do in game action. Hes
a big, big threat for us.
Schaub knows the benets of hav-
ing a big, physical receivers named
Andre. Oaklands rst-year quarter-
back spent the past seven seasons
throwing to 6-3, 220-pound Andre
Johnson, a seven-time Pro Bowl
selection.
Holmes clearly isnt on Johnsons
level. He has just 27 career recep-
tions and has scored only one touch-
down in 17 games.
Still, for an Oakland team that
doesnt have a clear-cut No. 1 wide-
out Holmes is currently the closest
thing to it.
He certainly looked the part so far,
an encouraging sign for an offense
that tied for 24th in passing last sea-
son.
Its a good feeling but I still look
to improve in many areas, Holmes
said. I cant be complacent. I know
that I have a lot to work on and thats
what Im trying to do right now in
this camp.
Holmes hasnt dropped many
passes in practice and made a pair of
nice receptions after the Raiders
returned from a day off.
He beat rookie defensive back
Keith McGill to haul in a deep
touchdown throw from Schaub,
then later split the zone coverage
of veteran cornerback Carlos
Rogers and safety Tyvon Branch
to make another long catch.
Were starting to click a little
bit, Holmes said of he and Schaub.
He knows where I like the ball and
hes been placing it in those areas a
lot. Hes starting to get a connection
with all of us in knowing where
were going to be and kind of the
timing of the routes.
The Raiders picked up Holmes off
waivers last year but werent quite
sure what they were getting.
Athree-year starter at Division II
Hillsdale College, Holmes went
undrafted in 2011 and was cut by the
Minnesota Vikings at the end of
training camp. He spent the next
two years with Dallas but played in
just seven games and caught only
two passes.
Holmes signed with Oakland on
May 13, 2013 but missed the rst
four games after testing positive for
a banned substance that violated the
leagues performance enhancing
drugs.
He sat out a fth game as a roster
exemption and didnt make his rst
catch of 2013 until Week 11.
Holmes nished with 25 catches for
431 yards and a team-leading 17.2-
yard average.
He has surpassed what we
thought we were getting when we
brought him in here, and theres still
a lot that he can improve on,
Oakland coach Dennis Allen. But
Im happy with what were getting
out of Andre Holmes. Hes going to
be a real factor for us. With the nature
of the NFL now and kind of trend in
the league is these bigger, physical
receivers and he certainly ts that
mold.
Holmes showing up big again for Raiders
OAKLAND Derek Norris singled up the
middle with two outs and the bases loaded in
the 10th inning against former Oakland closer
Grant Balfour, and the Athletics beat the Tampa
Bay Rays 3-2 on Monday night.
Norris notched his second career game-end-
ing RBI while facing Balfour (1-4) in
Oaklands eighth walkoff win.
The ALWest-leading As remained one game
ahead of the Los Angeles Angels and avoided
losing consecutive home games for just the
second time this season.
The As loaded the bases against Balfour,
who received a mound visit before Brandon
Moss stepped in with a chance at a fourth grand
slam but struck out. Norris delivered with his
rst game-ending RBI since June 24, 2012,
against the Giants.
Rays manager Joe Maddon was ejected by
rst base umpire Quinn Wolcott during the
inning and rushed the eld to argue.
Ryan Cook (1-1) earned the win on a night
the As stranded 18 runners.
The As won their 11th extra-inning game,
second-most in the majors behind Baltimore.
Tampa Bay had its eight-game road winning
streak snapped, which matched the longest in
club history, to kick off a 10-game trip. The
Rays lost away from Tropicana Field for the
rst time since July 3 at Detroit and dropped to
23-10 overall since June 25.
In the ninth, reliever Sean Doolittle elded
Brandon Guyers bouncing safety squeeze bunt
and tossed about 10 feet to catcher Norris to tag
out James Loney and save the go-ahead run.
Doolittle then struck out Kevin Kiermaier.
As need 10 to beat Rays

something in the background (of a picture),
or you in the background.
Aragon football coach and athletic direc-
tor Steve Sell attributes a lot of these kind
of issues on teenagers being teenagers and
not realizing the consequences of their
actions.
Kids are so reckless with the pictures
they take and post (online). In the old days,
you had a party with 25 kids where it could
balloon to 35. Now, it can balloon from 25
kids to 250 kids, Sell said. What hasnt
changed is the teenage brain. I dont care
how well trained a kid is. Its crazy how
reckless kids are and how nonchalant they
are about the stuff they put online. The
combination of narcissism and lack of con-
cern of consequences is a horrible combina-
tion.
College coaches at major colleges and
universities are in the business of winning
and are willing to overlook some high
school indiscretion. But as Sell said, If
you have a couple of blemishes on your
(digital) prole, you better be a blue-chip
guy. If youre a fringe guy youd better
be squeaky clean.
Sell said he constantly reminds his play-
ers to be smart off the eld meaning
dont put yourself in a position that can
hurt not only a players reputation, but his
or her familys and the schools as well.
But Sell knows you can only tell a kid so
much. Ultimately, its up to the athlete to
not put themselves in that kind of situa-
tion.
I dont know how much warning them is
going to make a difference at [midnight] on
Saturday, Sell said.

The Carlmont girls volleyball team was
one of 225 high school teams in the nation
to earn a team academic award from the
American Volleyball Coaches Association
for the 2013-14 academic year, Carlmont
coach Chris Crader announced Monday.
There are more than 15,000 high school
volleyball teams in the country as of 210,
according to National Federation of State
High Schools.
Last seasons 15-member Scots squad had
a combined grade point average of 3.63
while compiling a Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division record of 11-3 and an
overall record of 21-11, while qualifying
for the Central Coast Section playoffs for
the 12th time in 13 years.
Im very proud of each of our girls for
this achievement, Crader said in a press
release. The primary mission of attending
high school is to pursue academic excel-
lence and our girls really did that. They
also played great volleyball, were wonder-
ful teammates and represented Carlmont
High School extremely well.

Utah (0-2) and Arizona (0-3) are
currently the two teams in line for

Monday in a make-up game
after Sunday play was postponed
due to inclement weather
Pacica scattered eight hits, out-
hitting Encinitas 8-6 throughout.
Ricks had the only multi-hit per-
formance in the game for either
team, as Pacicas top hitter went
2 for 4 with a home run, two RBIs
and three runs scored. Ricks is cur-
rently 5 for 7 through West
Regional play and is now hitting
.721 (31 for 43) through 15 post-
season games.
After Encinitas scored ve runs
in the top of the rst, Pacica sent
seven batters to the plate in the
bottom of the frame.
Ricks reached on a one-out error
to get things started. Falk fol-
lowed with a single to advance
Ricks to second. After both run-
ners moved up on a wild pitch,
cleanup hitter Chris Rodriguez got
Pacica on the board with an RBI
groundout to score Ricks. Justice
Turner followed with a two-out sin-
gle to left to plate Falk. But after
walks to Andrew Harkness and
Jordan Salgado, Pacica stranded
the bases loaded to trail 5-2 after
the rst.
In the second, Cruise Thompson
singled with one out to set the
stage for Ricks 12th home run of
the postseason and Pacicas
rst of West Regional play to
cut the Encinitas lead to 5-4.
In the third, Encinitas scored
two insurance runs with an RBI
groundout by Ethan Workinger to
plate Jones, and an RBI double by
Luke Berardi to drive home Austin
Machado.
But Pacica answered back with
two runs in the bottom of the
frame. After a one-out single by
Shane Hawkins, Pacica No. 9 hit-
ter Tyler Shaw produced a two-out
single to drive home courtesy run-
ner Salgado. After Thompson was
hit by a pitch, Shaw later scored
on a passed ball. But Pacica again
stranded the potential tying run on
base, leaving Thompson at third.
Trailing by three runs heading
into its nal at-bat in the bottom
of the sixth, Ricks sparked a rally
with a leadoff single to right and
moved to third on a pair of
Encinitas throwing errors. Ricks
then scored on a wild pitch. But
after a one-out walk to Rodriguez
and Turner reached on an error rep-
resenting the tying run, Jones
notched two punch-outs to end it,
striking out the side in the sixth
amid the rally.
We could have done a better job
of getting a big hit but out defense
is what let us down tonight,
Coach Falk said. When you do
that against a good team, youre
not going to win.
Pacificas overall record
throughout postseason play now
stands at 13-2.

second full week of their competi-
tion for the starting job.
Its just part of our plan,
Pettine said. We said we were
going to allow the quarterbacks to
compete, at some point youve got
to mix up the supporting cast a lit-
tle bit. Its all part of it.
Manziels promotion planned
or not caused quite a stir at
Browns camp as another large
crowd lined the elds behind team
headquarters to get a close look at
Hoyer vs. Johnny Football.
Pettine knew the decision to
move the popular Manziel in with
the starters would cause a commo-
tion.
Thats great, he said, shrug-
ging his shoulders. That comes
with the territory.
Manziel had worked exclusively
with Clevelands second-string
offense until Monday, when Hoyer
was dropped back with the subs.
Pettine cautioned not to look
deeper into the change and said
theres still a strong chance Hoyer
will start Saturdays exhibition
opener in Detroit. Pettine said
Manziels performance in
Saturdays scrimmage at Akron,
where he made plays with his arm
and legs, had no bearing on him
practicing with the starters.

SOFTBALL
scoreless inning and Santiago Casilla
pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save.
The Mets, who got a two-run, rst-inning
homer from Daniel Murphy and an RBI
ineld single by David Wright in the fth
off Tim Hudson, took a 3-2 lead into the
seventh. But the Giants tied it off Jeurys
Familia, ending his streak of 13 relief
appearances since June 30 without permit-
ting an earned run.
Hunter Pence, who had two doubles, two
triples and two homers in the series, led off
with a long drive that glanced off the glove
of leaping left elder Chris Young as center
elder Juan Lagares also jumped for the ball
at the wall.
After Blanco walked, Familia threw a wild
pitch that made it 3-all. Sandoval singled,
but Lagares threw out Blanco at the plate.
That only set up another chance for
Sandoval.
He hits anything, Mets manager Terry
Collins said. He hits the ball off the plate,
he hits it all over the eld. Thats why
theyre a good team, because that guy drives
in a lot of runs.
Hudson left after ve innings. In his pre-
vious start at Citi Field, he was carried off
the eld with a season-ending broken ankle
after a collision at rst base on July 24,
2013, while with Atlanta.
Who needs em?
Giants left elder Juan Perez had put his
sunglasses on top of his hat, just in case he
needed them on an overcast day. When
Curtis Granderson hit a long drive over his
head in the third, Perez yanked the sunglass-
es off his cap and carried them in his bare
right hand while making a running catch on
the warning track.

Redskins Jerry Rice Jr. on
IR after shoulder injury
RICHMOND, Va. Jerry Rice Jr. has
been placed on injured reserve after tearing
the labrum in his left shoulder at
Washington Redskins training camp.
The Redskins initially designated Rice as
waived-injured. He was moved to IR on
Monday after clearing waivers.
The Redskins replaced Rice on the roster
by signing defensive lineman Jeremy
Towns, an undrafted rookie from Samford.
Rice was hurt last week when he fell on
his shoulder while trying to catch a pass in
the end zone.
Rice was undrafted out of UNLV.

Death toll from Ebola in West Africa hits 887: WHO
By Bachir Adigun and Jonathan Paye-Layleh
ABUJA, Nigeria The doctor who treated a man who ew
to Nigeria and died of Ebola now has contracted the disease,
authorities said Monday, presenting a dire challenge to
Africas most populous nation as the regional toll for the
outbreak grew to 887 dead.
As Nigerian health authorities rushed to quarantine others
who had been exposed to the doctor, a special plane landed
in Liberia to evacuate the second American missionary who
fell ill with Ebola. Nancy Writebol, 59, is expected to arrive
in Atlanta on Tuesday, where she will be treated at a special
isolation ward.
The second conrmed case in Nigeria is a doctor who treat-
ed Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American man who died July
25 days after arriving in Nigeria from Liberia, said Nigerian
Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu.
Three others who also treated Sawyer now show symp-
toms of Ebola and their test results are pending, he said.
Authorities are trying to trace and quarantine others in
Lagos, sub-Saharan Africas largest city of 21 million peo-
ple.
This cluster of cases in Lagos, Nigeria is very concern-
ing, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for
Disease Controls and Prevention, which is dispatching 50
experienced disease control specialists to West Africa.
It shows what happens if meticulous infection control,
contact tracing, and proper isolation of patients with sus-
pected Ebola is not done. Stopping the spread in Lagos will
be difcult but it can be done, he said.
The World Health Organization announced Monday that
the death toll has increased from 729 to 887 deaths in
Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.
Cases in Liberia jumped from 156 to 255, WHO said, as
the government ordered that all Ebola victims must now be
cremated because of rising opposition to burials in neigh-
borhoods around the capital. Over the weekend, police were
called in amid a standoff over whether health authorities

could bury nearly two dozen victims in a
neighborhood on the outskirts of the capi-
tal, Monrovia.
Sierra Leone marked a national stay-at-
home day Monday in an effort to halt the
diseases spread. Adocumentary lm of the
rst outbreak of the Ebola disease in Congo
was being shown intermittently throughout
the day by the national broadcaster.
The emergence of a second case in Nigeria
raises serious concerns about the infection
control practices there, and also raises the
specter that more cases could emerge. It can
take up to 21 days after exposure to the virus
for symptoms to appear. They include fever,
sore throat, muscle pains and headaches.
Often nausea, vomiting and diarrhea follow,
along with severe internal and external
bleeding in advanced stages of the disease.
This ts exactly with the pattern that
weve seen in the past. Either someone gets
sick and infects their relatives, or goes to a
hospital and health workers get sick, said
Gregory Hartl, World Health Organization
spokesman in Geneva. Its extremely
unfortunate but its not unexpected. This
was a sick man getting off a plane and unfor-
tunately no one knew he had Ebola.
Doctors and other health workers on the
front lines of the Ebola crisis have been
among the most vulnerable to infection as
they are in direct physical contact with
patients. The disease is not airborne, and
only transmitted through contact with bod-
ily fluids such as saliva, blood, vomit,
sweat or feces.
Sawyer, who was traveling to Nigeria on
business, became ill while aboard a ight
and Nigerian authorities immediately took
him into isolation upon arrival in Lagos.
They did not quarantine his fellow passen-
gers, and have insisted that the risk of addi-
tional cases was minimal.
Nigerian authorities said a total of 70
people are under surveillance and that they
hoped to have eight people in quarantine by
the end of Monday in an isolation ward in
Lagos.
Tracking down all the people who came
into contact with Sawyer and his caregivers
could prove difcult at this late stage, said
Ben Neuman, a virologist and Ebola expert
at Britains University of Reading.
Contact tracing is essential but its very
hard to get enough people to do that, he
said. For the average case, you want to
look back and catch the 20 to 30 people
they had closest contact with and that takes
a lot of effort and legwork ... The most
important thing now is to do the contact
tracing and quarantine any contacts who
may be symptomatic.

ATLANTA Missionary Nancy
Writebol, one of two known Americans
stricken with Ebola, wasnt looking to
abandon her overseas work. But Jeremy
Writebol believes his 59-year-old mother
can yield a greater good from her impend-
ing return to the United States amid West
Africas worst-ever outbreak of the often-
deadly virus.
The attention focused on her case might
help develop a cure and resources to help
those who are suffering, the younger
Writebol said. I am sure hopeful for that.
A Liberian government ofcial has con-
rmed that a medical evacuation team is
scheduled to y Nancy Writebol back to the
United States early Tuesday. She will
receive treatment at Atlantas Emory
University Hospital alongside one of her
mission partners, Dr. Kent Brantly, who
was admitted Saturday.
The American cases make headlines as
dozens of African heads of state converge
on Washington for the Monday opening of
the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, a three-day
gathering hosted by President Barack
Obama. Among the stated purposes: dis-
cussing how to help African nations over-
come systemic challenges, including dis-
ease.
Brantly and Writebol contracted Ebola
after working on the
same medical mission
team treating victims of
the virus around
Monrovia, Liberia. More
than 1,300 people have
been stricken, killing at
least 729 of them in
Liberia, Guinea and
Sierra Leone.
Ebola has no vaccine
or antidote. However, both Brantly and
Writebol were given an experimental treat-
ment last week, according to international
relief group Samaritans Purse. Brantly is a
physician with the group, and the group
originally said that only Writebol got the
treatment. Brantly also received a unit of
blood from a 14-year-old boy, an Ebola sur-
vivor, who had been under his care, accord-
ing to the organization.
Emory, where Brantly already is quaran-
tined, boasts one of the nations most
sophisticated infectious disease units.
Patients are sealed off from anyone not in
protective gear. Lab tests are conducted
inside the unit, ensuring that viruses dont
leave the quarantined area. Family members
see and communicate with patients through
barriers.
Writebol and her husband, David, had
been in Liberia since August 2013, sent
there by the Christian organization SIM
USA and sponsored by their home congre-
gation at Calvary Church
in Charlotte, North
Carolina.
At the hospital where
Brantly treated patients,
Nancy Writebol worked
as a hygienist whose role
included decontaminat-
ing those entering or
leaving the Ebola treat-
ment area. Their pastor,
the Rev. John Munro, said David Writebol
fullled administrative and technical duties.
A few weeks before she was diagnosed,
Jeremy Writebol said, a doctor visited the
Monrovia hospital where she worked and
praised the decontamination procedures as
the best hed seen. Jeremy Writebol said
she was really pleased by knowing that
and never thought she would be infected,
despite her proximity to the virus.
David and Nancy Writebol have engaged
in foreign missions for 15 years, spending
ve years in Ecuador and nine years in
Zambia, where Munro said they worked in a
home for widows and orphans.
After talking with his father Sunday, the
younger Writebol said its clear his mother
is still suffering, but said the family
remains optimistic.
Writebol has now received two doses of
an experimental treatment and is showing
marked improvement, said Palmer Holt, a
spokesman for SIM, the aid organization
for which she works.
On Sunday, she was in stable but serious
condition. On Monday, she was walking
with assistance, Holt said.
Her husband, David, told me Sunday her
appetite has improved and she requested
one of her favorite dishes - Liberian potato
soup and coffee, Bruce Johnson, presi-
dent of SIM USA, said in a statement
Monday.
Ofcials at the U.S. Centers for Disease
Controls and Prevention, also in Atlanta,
say theyve gotten some blowback for
bringing Ebola cases to an American hos-
pital. But Dr. Tom Frieden, CDC director,
emphasized again Sunday that there is no
threat to the public in the United States.
Some airlines that serve those nations
have suspended ights, while international
groups, including the Peace Corps, have
evacuated some or all representatives in the
region.
But the Writebols, their pastor predicted,
wont be away from the stricken land for
any longer than they have to be.
They knew that Liberia was a tough
assignment, he said, comparing their
vocation to the Bibles stories of leper
colonies.
Followers of Christ went into those
colonies, knowing they would die, Munro
said. I certainly wouldnt judge them if
they didnt go back, but I dont think this
will deter them.

Two American aid workers infected with Ebola are getting
an experimental drug so novel it has never been tested for
safety in humans and was only identied as a potential treat-
ment earlier this year, thanks to a longstanding research
program by the U.S. government and the military.
The workers, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly, are
improving, although its impossible to know whether the
treatment is the reason or they are recovering on their own,
as others who have survived Ebola have done. Brantly is
being treated at a special isolation unit at Atlantas Emory
University Hospital, and Writebol was expected to be own
there Tuesday in the same specially equipped plane that
brought Brantly.
They were infected while working in Liberia, one of four
West African nations dealing with the worlds largest Ebola
outbreak. On Monday, the World Health Organization said
the death toll had increased from 729 to 887 deaths in
Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria, and that more
than 1,600 people have been infected.
In a worrisome development, the Nigerian Health
Minister said a doctor who had helped treat Patrick Sawyer,
the Liberian-American man who died July 25 days after
arriving in Nigeria, has been conrmed to have the deadly
disease. Tests are pending for three other people who also
treated Sawyer and are showing symptoms.
There is no vaccine or specic treatment for Ebola, but
several are under development.
The experimental treatment the U.S. aid workers are get-
ting is called ZMapp and is made by Mapp
Biopharmaceutical Inc. of San Diego. It is aimed at boost-
ing the immune systems efforts to ght off Ebola and is
made from antibodies produced by lab animals exposed to
parts of the virus.
In a statement, the company said it was working with
LeafBio of San Diego, Defyrus Inc. of Toronto, the U.S.
government and the Public Health Agency of Canada on
development of the drug, which was identied as a possible
treatment in January.
The statement says they are cooperating with appropri-
ate government agencies to increase production as quickly
as possible, but gives no details on who else might receive
it or when.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration must grant per-
mission to use experimental treatments in the United
States, but the FDAdoes not have authority over the use of
such a drug in other countries, and the aid workers were rst
treated in Liberia. An FDAspokeswoman said she could not
conrm or deny FDA granting access to any experimental
therapy for the aid workers while in the U.S.
Writebol, 59, has been in isolation at her home in Liberia
since she was diagnosed last month. Shes now walking
with assistance and has regained her appetite, said Bruce
Johnson, president of SIM USA, the Charlotte, North
Carolina.-based group that she works for in Africa.
Writebol received two doses of the experimental treatment
while in Liberia.
Johnson was hesitant to credit the treatment for her
improvement.
Ebola is a tricky virus and one day you can be up and the
next day down. One day is not indicative of the outcome,
he said. But were grateful this medicine was available.
Brantly, 33, who works for the international relief group
Samaritans Purse, also was said to be improving. Besides
the experimental dose he got in Liberia, he also received a
unit of blood from a 14-year-old boy, an Ebola survivor,
who had been under his care. That seems to be aimed at giv-
ing Brantly antibodies the boy may have made to the virus.
Samaritans Purse initiated the events that led to the two
workers getting ZMapp, according to a statement Monday
by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The Boone,
North Carolina-based group contacted U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention ofcials in Liberia to dis-
cuss various experimental treatments and were referred to an
NIH scientist in Liberia familiar with those treatments.
The scientist answered some questions and referred them
to the companies but was not ofcially representing the
NIH and had no ofcial role in procuring, transporting,
approving, or administering the experimental products,
the statement says.
In the meantime, dozens of African heads of state were in
Washington on Monday for the opening of the U.S.-Africa
Leaders Summit, a three-day gathering hosted by President
Barack Obama. Among the stated purposes: discussing how
to help African nations overcome systemic challenges,
including disease.
The Defense Department has long had a hand in research-
ing infectious diseases, including Ebola. During much of
the Cold War period this served two purposes: to keep
abreast of diseases that could limit the effectiveness of
troops deployed abroad and to be prepared if biological
agents were used as weapons.
The U.S. military has no biological weapons program but
continues to do research related to infectious diseases as a
means of staying current on potential threats to the health
of troops. It may also contribute medical expertise as part
of interagency efforts in places like Africa where new infec-
tious disease threats arise.
The hospital in Atlanta that will treat the aid workers has
one of the nations most sophisticated infectious disease
units. Patients are sealed off from anyone not in protective
gear. Ebola is only spread through direct contact with an
infected persons blood or other bodily uids, not through
the air.
The CDC last week told U.S. doctors to ask about foreign
travel by patients who come down with Ebola-like symp-
toms, including fever, headache, vomiting and diarrhea. A
spokesman said three people have been tested so far in the
U.S. and all tested negative.
Writebol and her husband, David, had been in Liberia
since last August, sent there by SIM USAand sponsored by
their home congregation at Calvary Church in Charlotte. At
the clinic, Nancy Writebols duties included disinfecting
staff entering or leaving the Ebola treatment area.
Her husband, David, told me Sunday her appetite has
improved and she requested one of her favorite dishes -
Liberian potato soup and coffee, SIMs Johnson said.

done [Monday], DeJesus said.
The pipe had been likely been leak-
ing for at least a week, as DeJesus said
the city misdiagnosed the rst sewage
test after an initial report of a strong
odor at the creek July 25.
A second report was made July 30
and another on Aug. 1, which was
when further tests revealed the pres-
ence of ammonia, DeJesus said. The
timing of the tests are likely proof that
the leak had only occurred for a short
period because it takes time for waste
water to break down into ammonia,
DeJesus said.
When these sewer lines break,
oftentimes they can fail all at once, but
oftentimes its a slow process,
DeJesus said. And it takes time for it
to get to its peak of intensity so, I
cant say for certain, but it could be
why it was harder to detect.
Staff immediately began pumping
water out of the creek on Friday and
will continue to take daily water sam-
ples until the levels on the creek are
back to normal, DeJesus said.
If it had gone unattended, eventual-
ly sewage begins decaying and break-
ing down and sucks up oxygen in the
water. And what you get is an oxygen
decit and it begins to impact insects
and wildlife and those things that rely
on the water, and also the odor,
DeJesus said.
Further plans for the park and creek,
which serves as a natural drainage sys-
tem for landscape irrigation runoff and
the storm system for the subdivisions
in the area, include planting 66 trees as
part of the mitigation for the
Kingridge Sanitary Sewer Line
Improvement Project.
The project, aimed at preventing
sanitary sewer overow into the creek,
involves replacing 1,500 feet of sewer
line within the Kingridge Canyon
between 36th and 42nd avenues,
according to a Public Works staff
report.
The project was mandated by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board
through a cease and desist order and
began in 2011, according to the
report.
The construction site was densely
populated with trees and necessitated
the removal of 17 trees to gain access
into the canyon, according to the
report.
In return, the city chose to expand
the existing creek corridor by planting
66 mitigation trees within upper
Laurelwood Park along the fork of
Laurel Creek adjacent to the existing
turf area, according to the report.
The construction related to the tree
mitigation project is expected to
begin in September and last through
December, according to the report.
Because the trees will take six to 10
years to establish themselves, the area
will be closed to foot trafc during the
monitoring period to ensure the sur-
vival of the trees, according to the
report.
The Parks and Recreation
Commission will review the Kingridge
Sanitary Sewer Line Improvement Tree
Mitigation project at a meeting begin-
ning 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6 at
City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San
Mateo. For more information visit

The potential changes would be
made to prepare College of San Mateo,
Caada College and Skyline College
students for universities and high-
demand jobs; modernize math and sci-
ence
classrooms and labs; upgrade roads;
upgrade computer, biotechnology and
job training facilities; upgrade access
for disabled students; ensure class-
rooms meet earthquake, re and safety
requirements; and replace aging infra-
structure with energy efficient sys-
tems, according to a staff report. For
example, the money could be used to
construct a new science building at
Caada and an environmental science
building at Skyline, Christensen said.
Building 1 at Skyline is a large
admin building that has never worked
well, Christensen said. It is built
around a hallow oor and is an inef-
cient building.
The bond measure would work out to
be an annual property tax increase of

Funds would also go to modernizing or

ology; physical training; public safe-
ty; early-childhood education; and for
humanities, social sciences and ne

ing to a staff report.

postage to each voter but also allows

The pilot is measuring the effect of
vote-by-mail elections on voter
turnout and breaks it down by demo-
graphics like ethnicity, age, gender,
disability and political party aflia-
tion.
Yolo County released its rst elec-
tion report this year showing a 43 per-
cent cost savings but inconclusive
data on turnout results.
Adding urban San Mateo Countys
data to rural Yolo Countys informa-
tion is expected to better indicate the
potential statewide effects.
San Mateo County has long favored
absentee voting. In the June primary,
mail-in ballots accounted for 78 per-
cent of votes cast.
Scrabblers rejoice: 5,000
new words are on the way
NEWYORK To Scrabble fanatics,
big gifts sometimes come in small
packages.
The word te as a variant of ti, the
seventh tone on the musical scale, is a
hardworking little gem among 5,000
words added to The Ofcial Scrabble
Players Dictionary, out Aug. 11 from
Merriam-Webster.
The dictionarys last freshening up
was a decade ago. Entries in the forth-
coming book that include texter, vlog,
bromance, hashtag, dubstep and sele
were mere twinkles on the racks of recre-
ational players.
But its the addition of te and three
other two-letter words da, gi and po
that has Robin Pollock Daniel excit-
ed. Daniel, a clinical psychologist in
Toronto, is a champion of the North
American Scrabble Players Association,
which has a committee that helps
Merriam-Webster track down new,
playable words of two to eight letters.
Being able to hook an e underneath
t means that I can play far more
words, explained Daniel, who practices
Scrabble two to four hours a day.
Sometimes you play parallel to a word
and youre making two-letter words
along the way. I call those the amino
acids of Scrabble. The more two-letter
words we have, the more possibilities a
word will t.

By Josef Federman
JERUSALEM Israel and Hamas on
Monday accepted an Egyptian cease-fire
proposal meant to halt a bruising month-
long war that has claimed nearly 2,000
lives, raising hopes that the bloodiest
round of ghting between the bitter ene-
mies could nally be coming to an end.
Still, both sides signaled a rough road
ahead, with an Israeli ofcial expressing
skepticism given previous failures, and a
Palestinian negotiator saying its going
to be tough.
Alast-minute burst of violence, including
a deadly Palestinian attack in Jerusalem,
continued bloodshed in Gaza and the report-
ed execution of a number of suspected col-
laborators with Israel, served as reminders
of the lingering risk of renewed violence.
After weeks of behind-the-scenes diplo-
macy, Israel and Hamas both announced late
Monday that they had accepted the propos-
al for a preliminary 72-hour truce, begin-
ning at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Egypt was then set
to host indirect talks to work out a long-
term truce over the next three days.
At 8 a.m. local time tomorrow a cease-
re starts and Israel will cease all military
operations against terrorist targets in the
Gaza Strip, said Israeli government
spokesman Mark Regev. Israel will honor
the cease-re and will be watching to see if
Hamas does, too.
The war broke out on July 8 when Israel
launched an air offensive in response to
weeks of heavy rocket re out of Hamas-
controlled Gaza. It expanded the operation
on July 17 by sending in ground forces in
what it described as a mission to destroy a
network of tunnels used to stage attacks.
Israel says the last of the tunnels has nearly
been destroyed.
The war has taken nearly 1,900
Palestinian lives, most of them civilians
caught in ghting inside Gazas crowded
urban landscape, according to Hamas med-
ical officials. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers
have also died, as well as two Israeli civil-
ians and a Thai laborer who worked in
Israel. The heavy death toll has eclipsed
that of previous rounds of ghting in 2009
and 2012.
Adelegation of Palestinian ofcials from
various factions, including Hamas, has
been negotiating with Egypt in recent days.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the
group had accepted the plan.
Its clear now that the interest of all par-
ties is to have a cease-re, said Bassam
Salhi, a member of the Palestinian delega-
tion. Its going to be tough negotiations
because Israel has demands too. We dont
have any guarantees the siege will be
removed.
Hamas is seeking a full Israeli withdrawal
from Gaza, an end to an Israeli and Egyptian
blockade of the territory, the release of
Hamas prisoners held by Israel and interna-
tional assistance in the reconstruction of
Gaza.
Israel says the blockade is needed to pre-
vent Hamas, an Islamic militant group
sworn to its destruction, from arming. But
the Palestinians and members of the inter-
national community have criticized the
blockade as collective punishment. The
blockade, known to the Palestinians as the
siege, has ground Gazas economy to a
standstill.
Israel has demanded that Gaza become
demilitarized, requiring the unlikely
cooperation of Hamas in giving up its sig-
nicant arsenal.
We will be putting rst on our agenda
preventing Hamas from rearming, Regev
said. Ultimately the Palestinians have a
written commitment that Gaza should be
demilitarized and its time the international
community held them to that commit-
ment.
Israel had been signaling in recent days
that it was winding down its military cam-
paign. On Sunday, it withdrew most of its
ground forces from Gaza, and the army said
the pullout was continuing Monday.
In addition, Israel declared a seven-hour
pause Monday in its air campaign for what
it called a window to allow much-needed
humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Supermarkets were open for business and
more cars were on the streets than during
any of the short-lived cease-res since the
war began. Fresh fruits and vegetables were
available in outdoor markets.
Despite a drop in military activity, Israel
still attacked 38 targets, though well below
the levels of recent days.
At least 20 people were killed Monday,
including three children an 8-year-old
girl in the Shati refugee camp and a 12-
year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister in the
southern border town of Rafah, according to
Palestinian medical ofcials. Still, that was
far below the levels during the heaviest
ghting.
Israels chief military spokesman, Brig.
Gen. Moti Almoz, disputed Palestinian
claims that the vast majority of the dead
were civilians.
We estimate that between 700 and 900
terrorists were killed in direct contact with
Israeli soldiers, he told Channel 2 TV.
Thats a number that could rise because
there were many terrorists inside the tun-
nels that were probably killed when the tun-
nels were blown up.
Israel,Hamas accept Egyptiancease-fire plan

SAINT-SYMPHORIEN, Belgium
Separated by only a small patch of yellow
daisies at the Saint-Symphorien military
cemetery lie two former enemies: British
Captain Kenneth James Roy and German
Gefreiter Reinhold Dietrich. Also between
the two are some 9 million dead soldiers over
four years.
Roy died in the rst month of World War I,
trying to stop the early German onslaught
through Belgium. Dietrich died two weeks
before the war ended with a German defeat.
On Monday, from Glasgow, Scotland to
Liege and the small Saint-Symphorien in
southern Belgium, leaders of the former ene-
mies Belgium, France, Britain and Germany
stood together in a spirit of reconciliation to
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
start of conict that became known as The
Great War.
On Aug. 4, 1914 Germany invaded neutral
Belgium as part of a planned attack on
France, forcing Britain to declare war by
nightfall and unleash the biggest conagra-
tion the world had known.
It opened Pandoras Box, said German
President Joachim Gauck, who acknowledged
that it is anything but self-evident to stand
and talk to you on this day and be warmly
welcomed by the nation Germany overran.
Gauck openly spoke of the great injus-
tice of invading Belgium and the wanton
destruction of the university library in
Leuven and other civilian brutalities during
the rst weeks of the war.
British Prime Minister David Cameron
hailed the spirit to heal such deep wounds and
such deep-rooted enmity.
We should never fail to cherish the peace
between these nations and never underesti-
mate the patient work it has taken to build
that peace, he said at dusk, a few hours
before the moment Britain declared war on
Germany a century ago.
During the morning ceremonies at the
allied memorial in Liege many leaders,
including French President Francois
Hollande, insisted that European nations
have to act more forceful in conicts from
Ukraine to Iraq and Gaza.
We cannot remain neutral, Hollande
said. We have an obligation to react and it
is Europe which must take on these respon-
sibilities.
He called on the same nations who were
enemies then to stand together now. Over
four years which ended with the Nov. 11,
1918 armistice, the German and Austro-
Hungarian empires faced Britain, France,
Russia and, later, the United States.
At the intimate Saint-Symphorien ceme-
tery in southern Belgium a balmy sun kissed
the daisies standing in between Roy and
Dietrich.
Even in defeat, the allied effort that
claimed Roys life on Aug. 23, 1914, helped
slow the German advance toward France that
eventually bogged down as it was closing in
on Paris.
Gauck said the German plan that was sup-
posed to secure early victory was hapless
and deplored German actions against civil-
ians and cities its forces passed through dur-
ing the early weeks of the war.
By the end of autumn 1914, both sides dug
in, and from the early battles, the war quick-
ly changed into trench warfare on the
Western Front, with hundreds of thousands
of casualties in a barren landscape where poi-
son gas often wafted through the air.
The war wasnt expected to last long. The
battlefront scars would slowly and agoniz-
ingly rip across Europe, ravage whole com-
munities and millions of families. It produced
a moral wasteland in Germany that would
become fertile ground for the rise of Nazism.
Four empires would disappear.
