City, school near pool use deal

Burlingame, high school officials happy with new terms for aquatic center
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

An agreement is on the horizon regarding

the shared use of the community pool in
Burlingame, and city and high school district officials are hopeful the disagreements
that have historically plagued the issue are
soon to be water under the bridge.
Burlingame City Manager Lisa Goldman

and Kevin Skelly, San Mateo Union High

School District superintendent, hammered
out terms of an agreement which the governing boards of each agency are set to
approve next week.
Emotions on both sides have run high
during previous debates over how much
either agency will be required to pay for
maintaining the pool, owned by the high
school district, but officials are optimistic

the new agreement resolves those concerns.

I think its good, we are excited, said
Skelly. This is a pool that should be used
by the community as much as possible, and
I look forward to working together.
Many of those sentiments were shared by
Goldman.
We came up with what I think is fair to
all parties involved, she said. This is
going to ensure the stability of the pool.

Students use the pool for athletics and

education, while city residents use it for
recreation programs, and sharing the facility, located on the campus of Burlingame
High School, has been challenging for
both parties in the past.
Under the new agreement, the city will
pay 78 percent of the maintenance and oper-

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival gives big boost to the coast
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With fall fully encasing the coast,

the 45th annual Pumpkin Festival in
Half Moon Bay is anticipated to attract
hundreds of thousands of visitors to
celebrate all that is orange in October.
As one of the coastsides largest and
premier events, the festival is a massive economic generator for local
businesses as well as nonprofits.
The carefully curated and juried weekend festival brings artists from across

the country to showcase their works

while an array of food and drink is sure
to please those looking to indulge in
pumpkin-themed delights.
Its the 45th year and Pumpkin
Festival has grown from its humble
beginnings as an art and wine festival
in the 70s, said Half Moon Bay
Mayor Marina Fraser. From there it
evolved and helped publicize the agricultural region of the coastside.
Pumpkins are such a huge economic
driver for so many people and we
couldnt look lovelier with orange dot-

ted all over the place. And, its such a

high-quality art festival.
The free festival begins Saturday
morning as nearly 400 vendors and
artists will offer a wide variety of
pumpkin-themed creations from intricate hand-blown glass wares to craft
beers.
Charise McHugh, president of the
Half Moon Bay Chamber of
Commerce, said the event is a major

thought it was going to be something
simple, she said. But when I saw her
she was, like, very pregnant.

U.S., Mexico announce cargo

pre-inspection pilot program
By Peter Orsi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY The United States and

Mexico on Thursday launched a pilot cargo
pre-inspection program that aims to facilitate trade between the two nations.
Under the program, cargo will be inspected just once in the exporting country by customs officials from both nations. Officials
say it has the potential to ease shipping
congestion by reducing wait times up to 80
percent and lower storage costs and other
expenses.
U. S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson said at a news conference in
Mexico City that the program repres en t s a remark ab l e ev o l ut i o n o f t h e

bilateral relationship.
The pre-inspection pilot program which
this memorandum will enshrine opens the
door for a 21st century approach to trade
facilitation between our two countries,
Johnson said.
Mexican Treasury Secretary Luis
Videgaray said the program began Thursday
at the airport in Laredo, Texas, with the first
inspections carried out by officials from
both sides of the border, including armed
Mexican agents.
In the coming days and weeks the program
will be expanded to two facilities in
Mexico: Mesa de Otay in Baja California,
near San Diego, and San Jeronimo, which is
in Chihuahua state near the border cities of
El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.

SAN FRANCISCO Federal prosecutors

planning to file a murder charge against a
key defendant in a money laundering and
racketeering probe centered in San
Franciscos Chinatown lost a bid Thursday
to push back his trial.
U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer
ruled that Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow
will go on trial Nov. 2 as scheduled, saying
Chows right to a speedy trial would be
severely impacted if the case were delayed.
The investigation of Chow also led to the
arrest and conviction of a California state
senator.
Prosecutors had asked for a delay in
Chows trial to allow the U.S. Department of
Justice to determine whether to seek the
death penalty against him in connection
with the 2006 murder of Allen Leung, who
preceded Chow as the leader of the Chinese

fraternal group Ghee

Kung Tong. Prosecutors
have said one of Chows
co-defendants will testify
that Chow was angry with
Leung over money and
solicited his murder.
The FBI alleges Ghee
Kung Tong was a racketeering enterprise, and
Raymond Chow that undercover agents
laundered $2.6 million in
cash from illegal bookmaking through the
organization. The investigation of the
group also led to the arrest of California
state Sen. Leland Yee, who pleaded guilty to
racketeering in July.
A murder charge would mark a dramatic
escalation in the criminal case against
Chow, who is currently facing money
laundering and racketeering charges to

Ballot measure seeks to

tighten strict gun laws
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The lieutenant governor of the state with some of the strictest
gun laws in the nation announced a voter
initiative Thursday aiming to create even
greater restrictions, including making
California the only state to require on-thespot background checks for ammunition
sales.
The measure drafted by Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom, a Democratic candidate for governor in 2018, also would require owners to
turn in large-capacity magazines and report
when their weapons are stolen. It comes in
the wake of high-profile killings nationwide and three in the San Francisco Bay
Area that were tied to stolen guns.
The strict ammunition rule follows a similar New York law passed shortly after the

2012 shooting at an elementary

school
in
Newtown, Conn. , that
was suspended several
months ago. Four states
Connecticut, Illinois,
Massachusetts and New
Jersey require ammunition purchasers to
Gavin Newsom obtain permits ahead of
time, according to the
initiatives supporters.
Newsom is partnering with the Law
Center to Prevent Gun Violence on the
November 2016 ballot initiative, which
also allows him to remain visible ahead of a
gubernatorial run. Newsom, an early advocate of gay marriage, also is advocating to
legalize recreational
marijuana in
California.

Obama says hell keep more

troops in fragile Afghanistan
By Lolita C. Baldor and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama announced plans Thursday to
keep nearly 10,000 U.S. troops in
Afghanistan through most of next year
and 5,500 when he leaves office in
2017, casting aside his promise to end
the war on his watch and instead ensuring he hands off the conflict to a successor.
Obama called the new war plan a
modest but meaningful extension of
the U.S. military mission in
Afghanistan, which he originally
planned to end next year. He acknowledged Americas weariness of the
lengthy conflict but said he was firmly convinced we should make this extra
effort.
Military leaders have argued for
months that the Afghans needed additional assistance and support from the
U.S. to beat back a resurgent Taliban
and hold onto gains made over the past
14 years of American bloodshed and
billions of dollars in aid. In his
remarks from the White House
Thursday, Obama said that while
Afghan forces have made progress, the
security situation in the country
remains fragile.
After lengthy internal deliberations,
Obama settled on a plan to maintain
the current force of 9,800 troops in
Afghanistan through most of next
year, then draw down to 5,500 troops
in 2017, at a pace still to be determined
after consultation with commanders.
It will be up to Obamas successor
the third U.S. commander in chief to
oversee the war to decide how to proceed from there.
I suspect that we will continue to
evaluate this going forward, as will the
next president, Obama said, standing
alongside Vice President Joe Biden,

Feds charge eight in California
with distributing homemade guns
SACRAMENTO Eight men were charged Thursday with
making and distributing dozens of firearms, many of them
assault-style weapons illegally equipped with silencers, in
what federal officials are calling one of the biggest takedowns
in Californias Central Valley.
Undercover agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives purchased or seized more
than 230 firearms and silencers. Many are known as ghost
guns because they lack serial numbers and can be sold without background checks or transfer documents.
Firearms trafficking such as that alleged in this indictment
is one of the primary sources of crime guns found on the
streets, and the manufacture of untraceable, unserialized
firearms hampers criminal investigations, putting the public
at greater risk, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said at a
news conference. High-capacity assault rifles, with silencers
but without serial numbers, are some of the most lethal
weapons that criminals can get their hands on.
The charges include dealing in firearms without a license,
unlawfully manufacturing firearms, possession of silencers,
short-barreled rifles and firearms lacking serial numbers, and
conspiracy. Three of the eight face separate drug charges,
which Wagner said shows a connection between gun and narcotics trafficking.

Joe Biden, right, listens as Barack Obama announces plans to slow the withdrawal
of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint
Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford.
Until now, Afghanistan has barely
been a factor in the 2016 presidential
campaign. But Obamas announcement
could send candidates in both parties
scrambling to outline their own plans
for a war they could inherit.
Republican candidate Jeb Bush said
he was glad Obama dropped his plan
to abandon the region entirely. But he
added that if the president is committed
to securing a stable Afghanistan, he
shouldnt shortchange what our military commanders have said they need to
complete the mission.
Obamas plan largely lines up with
what military commanders had requested, though some proposals have called
for higher numbers. Key to the com-

manders requests was a continuation of

the current counterterrorism mission,
which Obama said would indeed be part
of the effort after 2016.
The second part of the U.S. mission
is training and assisting Afghan security forces, which are now in charge of
combat operations across the country.
The American forces will be based in
Kabul and at Bagram Air Field, as well
as bases in Jalalabad and Kandahar.
Obama now faces the prospect of
passing on to his successor active U.S.
military missions in two countries he
vowed to withdraw from: Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The president did withdraw most U.S.
troops from Iraq in late 2011, an action
he heralded as a promise kept to a warweary America.

The main reason for no increase next year is low gas prices.
By law, the annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is
based on a government measure of inflation. That gauge came
out Thursday.
As of Wednesday, AAA said the average price of a gallon of
regular gasoline was $2.30, about 90 cents less than it was a
year ago.
The big story has been the plunging gas prices, said Dean
Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy
Research. Theres not a lot of inflation anywhere.
The announcement will affect benefits for more than 70
million people, more than one-fifth of the nations population.

Feds launch nationwide synthetic drug crackdown

WASHINGTON Federal drug agents have arrested more
than 100 people across the country in the latest phase of a
national crackdown on manufacturers and purveyors of synthetic drugs, the Drug Enforcement Administration said
Thursday.
The DEA and other state and federal agents arrested 151 people in 16 states since July 2014 in an operation that ended
Thursday.
Government agents also seized more than $15 million in
cash and assets as part of Project Synergy, an ongoing DEA
crackdown on synthetic drugs.
Agents in Los Angeles and Bakersfield, California, seized
about $500,000 in cash and more than 200 pounds of drugs,
the DEA said. Several hundred people have been arrested since
the agencys first such operation in 2012.
The DEA has been focusing on synthetic drugs, including
bath salts, Spice and Molly, since the drugs gained widespread
popularity years ago. The agency is responsible for enforcing
federal drug laws.

German authorities
order recall of 8.5M
VW cars in Europe
By Frank Jordans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN German authorities on

Thursday ordered a recall of all Volkswagen
cars fitted with emissions test-cheating
software, a decision that will affect 8.5 million VW diesel vehicles across the 28nation European Union.
The Federal Motor Transport Authority
announced that the recall would affect 2.4
million vehicles in Germany. Under EU
rules, cars that are cleared in one country are
automatically approved across the bloc, so
the repeal also affects Volkswagen vehicles
elsewhere in the union.
Austrian authorities have already said
some 363,000 VW cars there are affected by
the recall.
Volkswagen said in a statement that it
would approach customers, who can already
enter their cars serial number on a special
website to find out whether it is affected.
Apart from the companys VW brand, Audi,
SEAT and Skoda cars can also be checked.
The fix will be free for customers, it said.
Also Thursday, U.S. environmental regulators said they expect to get a proposed fix
from Volkswagen next week on about
90,000 of the 482,000 cars with the cheat-

ing software in the U.S. The fix must be

tested before the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency will seek a recall. Its
unclear when the remaining U.S. cars would
be fixed.

Hastert attorney: Former
speaker intends to plead guilty
CHICAGO Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert
intends to plead guilty in a hush-money case linked to allegations of sexual misconduct, a defense
attorney said Thursday, a move that could
ensure that any secrets from his days as a
high school wrestling coach are never
revealed in public.
A written plea agreement should be
completed by Monday, attorney John
Gallo told a federal judge during a brief
status hearing. At the attorneys request,
the judge set Oct. 28 as the date for the
Dennis Hastert 73-year-old Illinois Republican to
change his plea.
Defendants typically agree to plead guilty in hopes of a
more lenient sentence.
A plea deal would also avert a trial that could divulge

U.S. analysts knew Afghan site was hospital

By Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON American special

operations analysts were gathering
intelligence on an Afghan hospital
days before it was destroyed by a U.S.
military attack because they believed it
was being used by a Pakistani operative
to coordinate Taliban activity, the
Associated Press has learned.
Its unclear whether commanders who
unleashed the AC-130 gunship on the
hospital killing at least 22 patients
and hospital staff were aware that the
site was a hospital or knew about the
allegations of possible enemy activity.
The Pentagon initially said the attack
was to protect U.S. troops engaged in a
firefight and has since said it was a mistake.

The special operations analysts had

assembled a dossier that included maps
with the hospital circled, along with
indications that intelligence agencies
were tracking the location of the
Pakistani operative and activity reports
based on overhead surveillance, according to a former intelligence official
who is familiar with some of the documents describing the site. The intelligence suggested the hospital was being
used as a Taliban command and control
center and may have housed heavy
weapons.
After the attack which came amidst
a battle to retake the northern Afghan
city of Kunduz from the Taliban some
U.S. analysts assessed that the strike
had been justified, the former officer
says. They concluded that the
Pakistani, believed to have been work-

ing for his countrys Inter-Service

Intelligence directorate, had been
killed.
No evidence has surfaced publicly
suggesting a Pakistani died in the
attack, and Doctors without Borders,
the international organization that ran
the hospital, says none of its staff was
Pakistani. The former intelligence official was not authorized to comment
publicly and spoke only on condition
of anonymity.
The top U.S. officer in Afghanistan,
Gen. John Campbell, has said the strike
was a mistake, but he has not explained
exactly how it happened or who granted
final approval. He also told Congress
he was ordering all personnel in
Afghanistan to be retrained on the rules
governing the circumstances under
which strikes are acceptable.

Teen becomes a focus in Israel-Palestinian conflict

By Karin Laub and Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM The fate of a Palestinian

boy seized center stage Thursday in the battle of narratives accompanying the recent
burst of deadly Israeli-Palestinian violence.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
ignited an uproar in Israel after falsely
claiming in a televised speech that Israelis
had summarily executed Ahmed Manasra,
when the 13-year-old actually was recovering at an Israeli hospital after he stabbed
two Israelis, including a boy his own age.
Palestinians, in turn, were enraged by
video showing Ahmed lying in the street,
his head bloodied and his legs splayed, as
bystanders curse him and shout Die! in
Hebrew. The images, widely circulated on
social media, made no mention of the preceding attack by Ahmed and his cousin
Hassan, 15, who was then shot and killed by
police Monday.
The case has become a lightning rod for
both sides.
Israel has repeatedly accused Abbas of
fomenting violence with what it says are
incendiary comments.
Now we have a new big lie. That new big
lie is that Israel is executing Palestinians,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
Thursday. Still, he said he would be perfectly open to meeting Abbas to address what
the Israeli leader said was a wave of incitement.
Abbas, who has long argued that armed
attacks on Israelis go against Palestinian
interests, has denied the Israeli allegations
that he is fomenting unrest. He did not
immediately respond to Netanyahus offer.
In his speech Wednesday, Abbas said
Israel has engaged in excessive force and the
summary execution of our children in cold
blood.
The high-level name-calling highlighted

the abyss between the two leaders, at a time

when prospects for a return to IsraeliPalestinian negotiations appear nil.
In the past month, eight Israelis were
killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them
stabbings. During the same period, 31
Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire,
including 14 labeled by Israel as attackers,
and the others in clashes between stonethrowers and Israeli troops.
Israel has increased security across the
country in response to the unrest. On
Thursday, the military said it would deploy
300 soldiers in Jerusalem to help police
maintain order, guard public transportation
and the citys main streets.
Both sides use social media to promote
their official narratives.
Israeli officials have released security
camera videos of the attacks, sometimes
within minutes. The police, army, Foreign
Ministry and prime ministers office cooperate, collecting clips from Palestinian
websites that are seen as promoting vioREUTERS
lence or searching for Facebook posts from
assailants that they say indicated they were Thirteen-year-old Ahmed Manasra, a Palestinian from Beit Hanina in northern Jerusalem, sits

Yes on Measure V

he people of San Carlos

have a unique opportunity
in front of them with the
proposal to purchase 23.5 acres
of open space in their city. The
purchase price is to be negotiated
but the city is asking its residents
for up to $45 million (up to $86
million with 30 years of interest)
to acquire the former Black
Mountain Spring Water site at
Alameda de las Pulgas along with
two other adjacent properties to
preserve it as open space for
future use by all residents. The
alternative seems to be a development proposal for additional
homes in the city, but the number
of homes that could be built on
the hilly terrain is in question.
While it is ofcially zoned for up
to 141 homes, the actual ability
to construct that number is less
likely. The fact of the matter is
that no one knows just how many
homes could be constructed on
those sites. It could be 24, 50, 80

or 100. While there is some discussion of trafc impact from new
development, that is not really
the issue.
The issue is simply this: Do the
citys residents want to tax property owners about $20 per
$100,000 assessed property value
to purchase a large stretch of open
space for its residents to enjoy in
the future? We say yes, simply
because the opportunity for such a
purchase does not come very
often. In 1922, the city of San
Mateo passed a bond measure of
$80,000 to purchase 16 acres of
property in the center of the city
from the estate of William Kohl
to carve out its Central Park.
While a tidy sum back in the day,
no one could ever question the
importance of that decision on
the city of San Mateo. While San
Mateos Central Park cannot be

compared to the Black Mountain

site and its adjacent property,
there is something to be said for
striking while the irons hot
when it comes to creating park
land for now and into the future.
In 100 years, no one will say the
investment needed today and for
30 years by San Carlos Measure
V was not worth it.
Opponents also point to the
cost of the measure and its impact
on those with xed incomes and
the citys future needs when it
comes to school bonds or infrastructure. Good points.
Opponents also point to the
vague plans for the site. Will
there be trails? Parking? Fields? A
banquet facility? What will the
cost of cleanup be? Also good
points.
However, opportunities such as
this one do not come around very

The future of
solar energy
The Riverside Press-Enterprise

ernadette Del Chiaro,

executive director of the
California Solar Energy
Industries Association, was circumspect when asked how the
rooftop solar companies CALSEIA represents felt about the new
renewable energy bill signed into
law last week by Gov. Jerry
Brown.
We applaud the governor for
signing SB 350, she said. It
provides certainty for the largescale renewable industry.
However, she continued, We ask
the governor to turn his attention
to rooftop solar.
What Ms. Del Chiaro is referring to is the differential treatment of renewable energy generated by utility-scale solar and
rooftop solar under SB 350, the
so-called Clean Energy and
Pollution Reduction Act of 2015.
By 2030, Southern California
Edison and other state regulated
utilities are required to derive half
of their electricity from solar,
wind or hydro.
While that state mandate
requires the utilities to buy electrons (or renewable energy tax
credits) from utility-scale solar
like Ivanpah solar energy plant in
San Bernardino County and Desert
Sunlight solar farm and Genesis
solar energy plant in Riverside
County it does not require the
utilities to buy electrons produced
by rooftop solar.
That confounds, considering
that the small-scale solar systems
installed on rooftops of some
300,000 California residences and
businesses generated more than
2,500 megawatts in 2014. Thats
the equivalent of a years worth of
electricity for more than half a
million homes.
That rooftop solar was afforded
no love by SB 350, Ms. Del
Chiaro suggested, might be attributable to union influence in
Sacramento.
Indeed, it is no secret that
organized labor has a dim view of
rooftop solar. Thats because the
nascent industry is made up primarily of small- and medium-sized
businesses with non-unionized
employees.
By contrast, most utility-scale
solar power projects have unionized workers. Not because the
developers of Ivanpah, Desert
Sunlight, Genesis or other multibillion-dollar solar projects are
big union backers, but because
its the price of receiving government tax credits and other considerations.
We believe solar energy has a
promising future in California
be it utility-scale or small-scale
rooftop.
But because the state has so distorted the market for solar and
other renewable energy sources by
mandates imposed by SB 350 (and
other such laws before it), and
because the Obama administration
has similarly skewed the market
by throwing extremely generous
tax credits at developers that build
solar plants, we dont know how
promising that future really is.
Only when government
removes its far too visible hand in
the solar business will we know if
the industry is built to last.

Business brief
New technology in credit
cards leads to headaches for some
NEW YORK Millions of Americans are getting new
credit and debit cards with more secure chip technology,
and thats already leading to headaches for companies that
rely on working cards to charge their customers every
month.
Video and music streaming companies, dating websites,
gyms and other subscription-based companies can take a
hit when customers dont update their accounts after receiving a new card. Its always been a hassle, but with millions
of cards carrying the new chip technology being mailed out
all at once its creating bigger problems.
Netflix this week said large numbers of cards that werent
updated were partly to blame for slower subscriber growth
in their most recent quarter.
The video steaming site said Wednesday that an unusual
number of accounts were cancelled during the three months
that ended in September. Netflix Inc., which has 69 million
members around the world, expects the issue to continue
into the next quarter as more new chip cards roll out.

NEW YORK Financial stocks

surged on Thursday, helping push the
market to its biggest gain in almost
two weeks.
Citigroup jumped after reporting that
its earnings rose sharply in the third
quarter as the bank continued to cut
expenses and clean up its books in the
wake of the financial crisis. KeyCorp
also climbed after posting solid earnings.
The reports cheered investors, who
have been looking for good news to
boost stocks since a summer sell-off
roiled the markets. However, the optimism may be short-lived. Third-quarter
earnings are forecast to contract overall as falling energy prices and weak
global demand start to eat into profits.
Financials could be the bright spot
of the whole earnings season, so let
the market have its fun, said Karyn
Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at
Voya Investment Financial. Well
take any bright spot we can get in this
earnings season, because things really
dont look good.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 29.62 points, or 1.5 percent, to
2,023.86. That was the biggest oneday gain for the index since Oct. 5.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 217 points, or 1.3 percent, to

17,141.75. The Nasdaq composite rose

87.25 points, or 1.8 percent, to
4,870.10.
Earnings for companies in the S&P
500 are forecast to drop 5 percent in the
third quarter, according to S&P Capital
IQ. If earnings do end up lower, it would
be the first time in six years they have
contracted.
On Thursday, financial stocks
climbed 2.3 percent, the most among
the 10 sectors that make up the S&P
500. Citigroup climbed $2.25, or 4.4
percent, to $52.97, and KeyCorp rose
60 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $13.31.
Stocks have started October with a
strong rally after closing out
September with their worst quarterly
performance in four years. Worries
about the Chinese economy and the
possibility of a Federal Reserve rate
increase shook the market in August
and September.
After a run of weak economic reports
in the last month, many investors now
think the Fed will keep interest rates
unchanged for the rest of the year. Fed
policymakers have kept the banks
benchmark lending rate close to zero
for almost seven years, supporting a
bull market in stocks.
The outlook for interest rates will
likely hold the key for how stocks perform for the rest of the year, said Sean
Lynch, co-head of global equity strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

Last year, we had a pretty good rally

into year end, Lynch said. I wouldnt
be surprised, should people get a clear
indication of whats going to happen
with the Fed, if we see that happen
again.
Netflix was among the days biggest
losers.
The stock slumped $9.14, or 8.3 percent, to $101.09 after the company
reported late Wednesday that it is hooking fewer U.S. viewers than it hoped.
First Data, an electronic payment
company based in Atlanta, raised $2.6
billion in an initial public offering,
making it the biggest listed IPO of the
year so far, according to data provider
Dealogic. The stock priced at $16, but
closed down 25 cents, or 1.6 percent.
In metals trading, gold rose $7.70 to
$1,187.50 an ounce. Gold has climbed
6 percent this month as doubts about
the health of the global economy have
resurfaced. Silver rose 4.7 cents to
$16.16 an ounce. Copper rose 0.8
cents to $2.42 per pound.

from 1.98 percent on Wednesday. The
euro fell to $1.1382 while the dollar
edged down to 118.89 yen.

Goldman Sachs earnings fall

38 percent, missing forecasts
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Goldman Sachs posted as a 38 percent drop in earnings in

the third quarter on Thursday, missing
analysts estimates, as the Wall Street
bank was hurt by recent market turbulence and lower commodity prices.
Goldman said it had net income of
$1.33 billion after payments to preferred shareholders, or $2.90 a share,
down from $2.14 billion, or $4.57 a
share, in the same period a year ago.
Net revenue at the investment bank
dropped by 18 percent to $6.86 billion
from $8.39 billion a year earlier.
We experienced lower levels of

activity and declining asset prices during the quarter, reflecting renewed concerns about global economic growth,
CEO Lloyd Blankfein said in a prepared
statement.
It was widely expected that Goldman
would report a drop in profit for the
third quarter given the recent market turbulence and sell-off in commodity
prices. Goldman does not have a consumer banking business, and makes its
money providing financial advice to
companies and high net worth individuals, as well as a significant stock,
bonds, and commodities trading operation. Net revenue in Goldmans fixed
income, currency and commodities
business was $1.46 billion this quarter,

down a third from a year earlier.

Goldmans lending and investing
business, the firms own investments,
also took a hit this quarter, posting revenue of $670 million, down 60 percent
from a year ago. The firm said its
investments were negatively impacted
by a significant decrease in global equity prices.
One positive note in Goldmans
results was its investment banking
division, which saw a 6 percent
increase in net revenue from a year ago.
The amount of money Goldman made in
advising companies through mergers
and acquisitions, one of the firms
highest profile businesses, was $809
million in the quarter, up 36 percent.

Citigroups earnings surge 36 percent, beats estimates

By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Citigroup said

Thursday its earnings jumped 36 percent in the third quarter as the bank
continued to cut expenses and clean up
its books in the wake of the financial
crisis.
The New York-based bank earned
$3.99 billion, or $1.31 per share,

excluding payments to preferred shareholders and an accounting adjustment,

for the three-month period ending in
September. That compares with earnings of $2.94 billion, or 95 cents a
share, in the same period a year earlier.
Citis latest earnings beat analysts
estimates of $1.27 a share, according
to FactSet.
Citi has been on a multi-year mission to recover from its near collapse

during the financial crisis, and 2015

has been a year of significant
progress.
Citi Holdings, the firms so-called
bad bank where it stores all its troubled assets, made a profit for the fifth
straight quarter. The firm passed the
Federal Reserves stress tests earlier
this year and legal expenses this quarter were $376 billion, down from $1.6
billion a year earlier.

The common perception of the Menlo

Because when the numbers are presented,

Team A is averaging 35 points per

The defense for Team A is allowing just

Dodgers denied again

By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Daniel Murphy and the

New York Mets caught the Los Angeles Dodgers
sleeping.
Murphy stole an uncovered third base and
went on to score the tying run, then hit a goahead homer off Zack Greinke to lead the Mets
over the Dodgers 3-2 Thursday night and into an
NL Championship Series matchup with the
Chicago Cubs.

New York trailed 2-1 in the decisive Game 5 of

the NL Division Series when, with three infielders on the right side and no one near third,
Murphy strolled to second on Lucas Dudas
fourth-inning walk and sprinted to third. Travis
dArnaud followed with a sacrifice fly.
Murphy homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead.
He went 3 for 3 against Greinke, the Dodgers
No. 2 ace who couldnt stave off elimination for
the second straight game. Murphy hit .333 in
the series and homered three times off Greinke
and Clayton Kershaw.

The Mets will host the Chicago Cubs in

Game 1 on Saturday night. The two teams have
never met in the postseason.
Jacob deGrom allowed runners in his first five
innings but just two runs on RBI singles by
Justin Turner and Andre Ethier that put the
Dodgers ahead 2-1 in the first. DeGrom (2-0),
the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year with the long,
shaggy hair, struck out seven and walked three
to earn his second road win of the series.

What a turnaround for Burlingame

volleyball.
Entering into Thursday nights
fourth set, the Panthers had done
nothing but get beat up by Aragon
all season long. In Septembers
first meeting between the two
teams, the Dons swept the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division opener. Then, Thursday,
Aragon jumped ahead 2 sets to 1.
But the Panthers a different team
than they were a month ago rallied
to win Games 4 and 5 to open the second half of league play with a dramatic comeback victory 25-19, 15-25,
15-25, 25-13, 15-13 at Aragon.
Our goal is to be undefeated in
the second half of the season,
because we lost a couple games we
knew we should have won,
Burlingame outside hitter Julia
Haupt said.
The Panthers (5-3 in PAL Bay, 911 overall) have now won three
straight Bay Division matches. But
after back-to-back sweeps entering
into the Aragon showdown, dramatics are perhaps precisely what
Burlingame needed.
Haupt was a force from the left
side, firing a match-high16 kills.
One of seven underclassmen on the
team, the sophomore is determined
to help Burlingame climb back into
the fight for the Bay Division race.
Now, knowing how every team
plays, thats going to help us,
Haupt said. We
are going to use our losses as
determination.
Burlingame head coach Nilo
Mauricio has been trying to breathe
fire into his team for weeks now,
and was forced to do the same as
Thursdays match wore on. After the
Panthers took a commanding lead
in Game 1 they were up 20-11 at
one point overconfidence began
to quickly erode the teams perform-

ance, according to Mauricio.

Thats our biggest problem, is
letting up, Mauricio said.
On the other side of the court,
Aragons biggest problem was its
errors. The Dons (5-3, 16-11) were
like two different teams Thursday.
They committed 29 errors in the
match, 24 of which came in the
three matches they lost.
After committing just five errors
through wins in Games 2 and 3, the
Dons imploded in a pivotal Game 4,
committing 10 errors. But their
lackluster performance had much to
do with Burlingames strategy to
alienate Aragon junior middle
Melanie Moore from the match.
Moore paced Aragon with 15 kills,
but was a non-factor in Game 4 after
rotating off the floor early. By the
time she rotated back on the court,
Burlingame had build a 16-5 lead.
We sided out fast to get her out of
the game, Mauricio said. But they
made mistakes. It wasnt all us, for
sure.
It was a lot of Burlingame opposite Kyra Novitsky though. The junior who totaled a double-double
with 14 kills and 10 digs produced the sideout with a right-side
kill to tie it 3-3, forcing Moore off
the floor. Notvitsky went on to pace
all scorers with four kills in the set.
In Game 5, Moore returned to
form early to help the Dons to an
early lead. Aragon got up 8-5 on
Moores penultimate kill of the
match. They sustained the lead late,
with Moores final kill giving the
Dons a 13-11 lead. But it was the
last point Aragon would score in the
match as Burlingame rallied for four
straight points to win it, sending
the Panthers into a frenzy of celebration while the Dons stood
stunned on their home court.
Its disappointing, Aragon senior Maddie Lee said. But I know
everyone wanted it. Everyone
fought their hardest. So theres
nothing I can be upset about.

claiming 11th place in the Central Coast
Section Division IV bracket, the highest ever
for a Menlo runner.
This year hes off to another strong start.
Miranda has taken gold in each of Menlos first
two West Bay Athletic League meet. His latest
win came Thursday, as he topped the field at the
Baylands Cross Country Course in Sunnyvale,
finishing the 3.1-mile course in 16:18.
Mirandas fast success, along with his work
ethic, has Chen comparing him to Menlos
best all-time girls cross-country runner,
Lizzie Lacy, who graduated last year after a
Central Coast Section championship finish.
Robert is exactly like Lizzie, Chen said.
They are both great kids.
Mirandas burgeoning legacy has one slight
advantage over Lacy, however, at least on the

local circuit. With Crystal Springs serving as

the host site for the WBAL finals every other
year, Miranda will be right at home. He lives
in Hillsborough, just a five minute drive from
the course, and trains on it regularly.
Last season, in his first official meet on the
course, he finished in third place with a time
of 16:18. Saturday, he obliterated that personal record. Granted the conditions were optimal
it was warm, but not too warm, with very
little wind. However, there was one notable
disadvantage, as Menlo held its homecoming

after the homecoming dance, so all of the kids
were really tired, Chen said. But yeah,
Robert did really well.
It was slow goings off the opening gun
though. Running in the final of five heats on

the day, Miranda fell back of the primary pack

in the championship varsity race. Out of 166
runners, Miranda said approximately 30 runners got out ahead of him.
I tried, but I wasnt able to get to the front,
Miranda said. So, a lot of the race was just
trying to make up that ground.
The slow start allowed for him to close
strong though, and that he did. And he wasnt
the only Menlo runner to have a career day.
Senior Raphael Serrano finished 42nd overall, besting his personal record by nearly a
minute with a 16:45. Freshman Josh
Eichbaum, running his first varsity race in
place of injured Tom Welch, ran a 19.50.3.
But at the finish line, after the cool down,
the spotlight most certainly fell to Miranda.
It sunk it after we cooled down. Miranda
said. Everybody was really happy.

Ethier returned the dugout and began
yelling at Mattingly while simultaneously
walking away from him. Mattingly followed, and twice Ethier turned towards
Mattingly and yelled at him while gesturing

angrily with his arms, pointing twice at the

field and twice directly at Mattingly.

The suspensions will end the career of one

player who is a senior. The other, a sophomore, must agree to speak with UIL officials
about the Sept. 4 incident before hell be reinstated.

The UIL held three public hearings on the

incident, but Thursday was the first time it
heard in-person testimony from Breed and
Watts, who had been accused of directing
racial slurs toward players before he was hit.

Ethier remained in the game and went out

to right field for the fourth.
Turner had a pair of doubles, giving him a
franchise playoff-record six in one series.
The Dodgers fell to 4-1 in elimination

in 1958.
Los Angeles got bounced out of the playoffs for the third straight year.

No. 15 Stanford puts beating on No. 18 UCLA

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD Francis Owusus circus catch

in the end zone on Kevin Hogans third touchdown pass of the night highlighted a dominating performance for No. 15 Stanford,
which rolled to its eighth straight win over
No. 18 UCLA, 56-35 on Thursday night.
Christian McCaffrey ran for a school-record
243 yards and four touchdowns while gaining
369 all-purpose yards for the Cardinal (5-1,
4-0 Pac-12), who won their fifth straight in
impressive and entertaining fashion against
the Bruins (4-2, 1-2).
On a night full of big plays, none topped
Owusus 41-yard TD catch.

It
started
with
McCaffrey taking a direct
snap in the wildcat and
handing to Bryce Love on
a jet sweep. Love the
flipped the ball to Hogan,
who had lined up as a
receiver on the play.
Hogan set himself in the
backfield and threw deep
Christian
to Owusu.
McCaffrey
Despite being interfered with by a face-guarding Jaleel Wadood in
the end zone, Owusu still managed to trap the
ball against Wadoods back while not even
being able to see it. Owusu managed to keep
his hand on the ball to maintain control as

Steele gets season off to

an ideal start at Silverado
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA Brendan Steele had an ideal start to

the new PGA Tour season at the Frys.com
Open with a round that featured nine birdies,
no stress and a simple explanation.
As weird as it is to say, it was kind of a
basic 63, he said.
It gave him a one-shot lead over Jhonattan
Vegas among early starters in ideal scoring
conditions at Silverado,
which has such subtle
movement in the greens
that the course doesnt
always yield low scores
even when players have a
short iron into the putting
surface.
Of the early starters, 21
players
were at 68 or betBrendan Steele
ter.
That included Rory McIlroy, who is
between two seasons. The worlds No. 3 player had numerous birdie chances and didnt convert nearly as many as he would have liked.
What pleased McIlroy was the quality of his
game from tee-to-green, far crisper than it was
at the Tour Championship three weeks ago.
Definitely a step in the right direction
today, McIlroy said.
Vegas, who won as a rookie in 2011 at the
Humana Challenge, lost his card this year and
failed to get it back at the Web.com Tour
Finals two weeks ago. He is relying on his
limited status as a past champion and sponsor

exemptions, so it was important to make the

most out of his exemption this week.
Harold Varner III, who joins Tiger Woods as
the only players of black heritage on the PGA
Tour this year, made a strong rookie debut
with a 65. The group at 66 included Justin
Thomas, with Justin Rose among those at 67.
Steele posted a target early with a 29 on the
back nine, including five straight birdies
before making the turn. At one point, he
rolled in putts of 25 feet, 20 feet and 18. That
prompted this observation from Steve
Wheatcroft.
Just hang in there, he said Wheatcroft told
him. Its a long season. Youll make one
eventually.
Sang-moon Bae, unable to defend because
of his mandatory military service in South
Korea, won last year at Silverado at 15-under
par. No one had better than 65 the entire tournament last year, which made Steeles round
stand out even more.
Steele wasnt surprised.
This is the third straight year of a wraparound season that starts in October with a
two-week break after the old season ended.
Steele had some good results toward the end of
last season, took a short break, started practicing and liked how his game felt.
In the pro-am yesterday I was like, We
need to get this tournament going. I hate it
when Im home and I feel really good, he
said. Its hard to keep it. I always say that
your game is either coming or going, right?
So when its coming, you want to be in the
right place.

the two fell to the ground, leading to the

touchdown that even drew a smile from the
usually taciturn coach David Shaw.
Hogan threw for 131 yards on eight completions and McCaffrey took over the national lead in all-purpose yards with 1,518 for the
Cardinal, who have scored 225 points the
past five games after being kept out of the end
zone in a season-opening 16-6 loss at
Northwestern.
McCaffrey scored on a 70-yard run out of
the wildcat after Owusus catch and added his
fourth touchdown from 6 yards out later in the
third quarter as he broke Toby Gerharts
school record of 223 yards rushing in 2009
against Oregon.
Josh Rosen threw for 325 yards and three

touchdowns. Paul Perkins ran for 104 and a

score, but the Bruins still dropped their second straight contest to fall further back in the
Pac-12 South race.
Stanford maintained its dominance in this
series with its most overwhelming performance in decades. The Cardinal have outscored
the Bruins 277-131 during the current streak
and had their highest-scoring game against
the Bruins since a 57-0 win in 1929.
The Bruins injury-depleted defense had no
answer for the power running and trick plays
from Stanfords offense. The Bruins have lost
star linebacker Myles Jack and three other
defensive starters to season-ending injuries
and the absences showed against the
Cardinal.

Nevada shuts down

daily fantasy sites
By Kimberly Pierceall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS Nevada regulators ordered

daily fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and
FanDuel to shut down Thursday, saying they
cant operate in the state without a gambling
license.
The decision comes amid growing backlash
by investigators and regulators over the sites,
which have grown in popularity in the past
year, and could cause ripples in other states that
have questioned their legality. Regulators elsewhere often watch decisions made by Nevadas
Gaming Control Board since it governs Las
Vegas area casinos.
Participants on the unregulated sites can compete in games involving NFL or college players, paying an entry fee that goes into a larger
pool. They try to assemble teams that earn the
most points based on real-life stats in a given
period, with a certain percentage of top finishers earning a payout.
Entry fees on DraftKings range from 25 cents
to more than $5,000. Some prizes top $1 million.
DraftKings and FanDuel say the sites provide
games of skill and not chance, and are therefore
protected by the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act established in 2006.
Until now, the sites have been available in all
but five states where their legality has been
called into question.
If youre licensed in Nevada, youre good to

go, said A.G. Burnett, chief of the Gaming

Control Board. That includes traditional sports
books where gamblers generally wager on the
outcome of a given game.
There are no licensed daily fantasy sports
sites in Nevada.
A notice issued by the Gaming Control Board
said the sites must stop offering their contests
to Nevada residents immediately, and until they
are granted a license. Operators face felony
fines and 10 years in prison for running an illegal gambling site. The board said it worked with
the state attorney generals office for several
months to look into the sites legality.
Since offering (daily fantasy sports) in
Nevada is illegal without the appropriate
license, all unlicensed activities must cease and
desist from the date of this notice, the decision
said. The sites can apply for licenses.
Joe Asher, CEO of sports book William Hills
U.S. operations, has repeatedly said daily fantasy sports is gambling and should be treated like
all other legal gambling operations. He said the
boards decision speaks for itself.
It shouldnt come as a surprise, Asher said.
Spokesmen for DraftKings and FanDuel did
not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The American Gaming Association, which is
doing its own review of the legality of daily fantasy sports, said it appreciated the Nevada
boards review. It said the decision provided
clarity, as well as a roadmap for daily fantasy
companies and casinos to provide popular fantasy sports within Nevada borders.

Raiders Tuck header for IR

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland

Raiders plan to put defensive end
Justin Tuck on season-ending
injured reserve because of a torn
pectoral muscle, a person familiar
with the situation tells The
Associated Press.
Tuck was hurt while trying to
tackle Denver running back C.J.
Anderson early in the fourth quarter
of Sundays 16-10 loss to the
Broncos and spent the rest of the
game on the sidelines wearing a
sling.
He is expected to undergo surgery soon and will be placed on
injured reserve some time before
Oaklands game at San Diego on
Oct. 25. The Raiders are on a bye
this week.
The Bay Area News Group and
Csnbayarea.com were first to
report that Tuck was out for the
year.
Losing Tuck is a big blow to a
defense that is coming off its best
game of the season. While he has

GOTW
Continued from page 11
Knights are led by junior running
back Charlie Ferguson, who with
612 yards is on pace to top the
1,000-yard mark this season. He is
averaging 122 yards per game and
nearly gains a first down every
time he touches the ball with an
average of 9 yards a carry.
And Ferguson is far from alone
in the backfield. Charlie Roth is
averaging 80 yards a game and 7
yards a carry.
Half Moon Bay, on the other
hand, is a run, run, run team. Using
a seldom-seen scrum style
offense which features three
ball carriers and the quarterback in
the offensive backfield the

only one sack, the 32-year-old

Tuck is one of the most influential
players in Oaklands locker room
and has played a big role in the
development of teammate Khalil
Mack.
Itll be a challenge . having the
leader of the team having that kind
of injury, Mack said. Its difficult
but its one that hes been positive
about and weve all been positive
about with him, letting him know
we still want to see him around.
Having his leadership is really
more important than anything.
Tuck has one sack and seven
tackles this season after leading
Oakland with five sacks in 2014.
The 11-year veteran has 66 1/2
career sacks and is tied for 11thmost since 2007.
Mario Edwards Jr., a third-round
draft pick this year, will likely
replace Tuck in the Raiders lineup.
The rookie from Florida State
started last week against the
Broncos and recorded his first sack
of the season. Now hell be
expanding his role while the
Raiders increase his playing time.
Cougars depend a lot on misdirection as it is very difficult to see
who eventually ends up with the
ball.
Not that they dont have the
horses to make it work. The
Cougars three-headed monster of
slots Matt Spigelman and
Anthony DeMartini, along with
fullback Chase Hoffman, have
combined to rush for 1,017 yards.
Spigelman leads the way with 441
yards, Hoffman has 301 and
DeMartini 275 on the year as Half
Moon Bay is averaging 254 yards
rushing per game.
The game could potentially be
decided by Menlos ability to get
its aerial assault going because
teams have had a hard time running
the ball against the Half Moon
Bay defense, which is allowing an
average of just 43 yards on the
ground.

St. Olaf Orchestra brings

music, delight to San Mateo
By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The St. Olaf Orchestra flew into town

last Saturday. Quite literally: The members of this student orchestra from
Northfield, Minnesota, boarded their
plane that morning and arrived in San
Mateo in time for the first concert of
their West Coast tour. The concert
began at 8 p.m., which would still be
10 p.m. to them. Despite this grueling
schedule, they put on an excellent program.
They came from St. Olaf College, a
small but prestigious liberal arts
school with a tremendous reputation
for its music program. Its alumni can
be found wherever they travel.
Saturdays program was at San Mateos

Transfiguration Episcopal Church, for

instance, because the churchs music
director, Eric Choate, is himself a St.
Olafs alumnus.
Its a small church with a half-timbered interior, quite overtaken by the
full-sized orchestra inside. The sound
was beefy and strong. The playing was
fully professional in quality, with only
a few small flubs.
The masterpiece of the evening was
Elgars
Enigma
Variations.
Conductor Steven Amundson, music
director at St. Olafs for over 30 years,
treated this piece as a kind of suite.
Pauses, as if between movements,
between many of the successive variations tamed the incongruous contrasts
with which the work abounds. Strong
playing by the lower strings gave the
music a thorough grounding. Even in

the light moments, which Amundson

conducted whimsically, jerking his
baton and baring his teeth, the student
musicians played seriously, with maturity and grace.
There was just as much strength and
beauty in the concerto offering, the
slow movement from Dvoraks Cello
Concerto. The soloist was Samuel
Virguerie, a St. Olafs junior and coprincipal in the orchestra. He was a
fully mature player, offering a light
and steel-tinged sound to his lyrical
performance.
Gaia by Daniel Kallman was the
new work on the program, receiving
its first public performance at
Saturdays concert. Inspired by Bill
McKibbens writings on global warm-

significant income for local businesses as
well as nonprofits.
It brings in about 300,000 people over
the course of two days and also has the residual effect of putting us on the map,
McHugh said. Its definitely our busiest
season. We have people come from all over
the Bay Area and Northern California for all
things pumpkin. Anything from a pumpkin
massage at the Ritz-Carlton to pumpkin ice
cream and everything in between.
Nearly all of the food and beverages
served at the festival are organized by and
benefits coastside nonprofits, many of
which make a good chunk of their annual
budget during the two-day event, McHugh
said.
Traffic along State Route 92, the main
entryway into the cozy coastal town, fre-

quently backs up during autumn weekends

with people descending to visit the beach or
pumpkin patches filled with pony rides and
corn mazes.
For this years Pumpkin Festival,
SamTrans is offering a special bus schedule
so visitors can ditch their cars and hitch a
ride.
This year, Pumpkin Festival is partnering with SamTrans, Fraser said. Special
buses throughout the weekend will bring
people over and back. Thats a brand-new
feature and I hope its successful. We definitely want to encourage our visitors from
over the hill that dont want to take their
single cars, to get on one of those SamTrans
buses.
Councilman John Muller, aka Farmer
John, will arrive at the annual Pumpkin
Festival parade Saturday on his tractor and
noted how valuable the long-standing event
is to the community.
He reminded people to come and be
patient as they visit the coast to share their
resources.

This year, new additions include performances by the winner of the first Pumpkin
Festival-theme song contest, a new Made
On the Coast stage set up at Cunha
Intermediate School and new food items.
But dont fret, the traditional pumpkin pies,
bloody marys and Jack-o-tinis will remain,
said event spokesman Tim Beeman.
For sports lovers, this years parade grand
marshal is the legendary former Giants
pitcher Dave Dravecky and an improved
jumbo screen TV in the Take 5 Lounge will
be screening baseball and football games
throughout the day.
As always, for those who didnt make

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

TANGERINE ARTS IS THE NOVEMBER SHOW AT TWIN PINES ART

CENTER IN BELMONT. Tangerine Arts,
a group of Bay Area women artists who
explore seasonal themes, draws on an
Autumn Palette for paintings, ceramics,
mosaics and photography displayed in the
Manor House at Twin Pines Art Center in
Belmont during November. The artworks,
eclectic in media and approach, all bear
upon the time of year when life withdraws
toward the dark of winter, before the light
can be reborn in the new year. Each of the
eight artists presents her individual experiences of this seasonal transformation.
Jennifer Alpaugh, an oil painter and printmaker whose work is based on nature, is
known for her rolling landscapes as well as
delicate botanicals in both oils and cyanotypes. Gale Frances often adds a bit of
spice with her irreverent collages. Alice
Kelmon works in mixed media and encaustic
works. Melinda Lightfoot puts color rst in
her work, which comprises both acrylic
paintings and pastels. Kathy Miller Peix
creates mosaics and ceramic works, including an array of wall-hanging autumn leaves.
Nancy Mona Russells abstract approach
lends itself especially well to the groups
autumn theme. Linda Salter creates oil, pastel and watercolor paintings with a classic
aura and is also known for her Chinese ink
and brush paintings. Sharron L. Walker captures the essence of autumn in her photographs and watercolors that highlight the
variety, texture and glory of nature.
Autumn Palette runs Nov. 4-29, with galleries open noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday to
Sunday and there is a closing reception from
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 29. 10 Twin

CRIMSON
Continued from page 18
specifically for the gothic thriller.
Its not that del Toro thinks that spelling
out the word fear will make the experience
of watching the film any scarier. In fact he
doesnt even believe in subliminal messages at all. (Ghosts, mind you, are another
story.)
But it is one among dozens of hidden in
plain sight treats and thematically relevant
motifs woven into the visuals of the
painstakingly designed film about a young
American novelist, Edith (Mia Wasikowska)
who comes to live in the eerie estate of her
new husband, Thomas (Tom Hiddleston) and
his sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), in
1901.
The director, who has created fantastically
dark worlds in films like Pans Labyrinth,
wanted Crimson Peak, out Friday, to feel as
grand as an old Hollywood production.
Building a three-story house with a functioning elevator, running water, and working
fireplaces isnt a bad place to start, but beau-

trio of actors. But the films true above-thetitle artists are more properly cinematographer Dan Laustsen, production designer Thomas
Sanders and costume designer Kate Hawley,
who under the lordly command of Del Toro,
summon an atmosphere gaga with all things
gothic.
Crimson Peak casts a spell that fails to
hold, but its unquestionably the work of a
man who loves I mean, really loves
movies.
It opens with a flashback and a promise
from Edith Cushing (Wasikowska) that
ghosts are real. After the death of her mother, she (or at least a ghoulish ghostly of her)

ty alone is trite. Everything needed to serve

the story even details that might not be
obvious to the casual viewer.
To ensure everyone was on the same page,
Del Toro asked his wardrobe and production
design teams to read and study the character
biographies hed crafted for his three leads.
The second mandate was that everything
in the movie, no matter how whimsical,
needed to be rooted in reality, said del Toro
in a recent interview. I asked them to always
have a photograph or a reference of the period to back up any choice.
While there are other locations, Allerdale
Hall is the wheezing, bleeding centerpiece of
Crimson Peak, where the untold horrors of
the past converge in all their decadent glory.
Truly, the walls ooze red clay and the house
creaks and moans and breathes, thanks to a
gaping hole in the foyer ceiling.
I wanted to make it feel like a character. I
wanted to create it from scratch. Thats why
the movie took eight years to make.
Everybody wanted it to be smaller or PG-13
and I didnt agree on either of those, said del
Toro. (The bloody film ended up securing an
R-rating).
Members of the key artistic team, including production designer Tom Sanders, cos-

tume designer Kate Hawley, and supervising

art director Brandt Gordon, were given an
almost luxurious amount of time to prep
before pre-production began.
In contemporary cinema, there is often a
mandate to try to keep things as economical
as possible and to try to keep prep as short as
possible. This was totally different, said
Gordon. He calls the four months in Toronto
their pre-conceptual production phase.
It was all about ideas, and Del Toro was
there daily to discuss everything while
Sanders built models.
Once pre-production was underway, they
spent about 14 weeks building the house
before their February shoot date. For the
crew, that meant having 10 completely distinct sets ready to go at the same time, which
proved to be quite a challenge.
All of the architectural elements were
handmade all of the moldings, all of the
sculpted details and bannisters and fireplaces, said Gordon.
The ornate, billowy Victorian costumes
were also all completely handmade. Hawley
sourced fabrics and manipulated them, with
over-dying and pleating.
We chose our decorative details very carefully. We developed them ourselves. We did-

nt just go in and put Victorian lace on everything, she said.

The costumes even have their own little
warning signs. Lucilles wardrobe in particular is meant to almost camouflage her in
Allerdale Hall. The heaviness of her frocks
and wig also helped the delicate Chastain
sink further into a character who is deeply
tied to her home.
Edith wears a belt with a hand clasp.
Thats taken from the idea of a Victorian
mourning jewelry, said Hawley.
It wont take a dozen viewings to notice
that Lucille and Thomass wardrobe has the
same color palette as the house, but look a
little closer and you might spot some of the
same patterns on Lucilles dress used in trimmings. In the woodwork, you may see human
shapes. And the windows? Yes, theyre meant
to look like eyes.
At one point, Lucille tells Edith shes like
a fragile butterfly. Del Toro laughed that
someone could play a pretty good drinking
game trying to spot all the butterflies in the
wallpaper alone.
So where is the intricately designed haunted mansion now?
Sadly they destroyed it shortly thereafter, said del Toro.

visits Edith with a frightful warning: Beware

of Crimson Peak. Its a message that curiously fails to impress.
The setting is turn-of-the-century Buffalo,
where Edith lives with her father Carter
Cushing (an excellent Jim Beaver). She
wants to be a novelist, but her manuscript (a
ghost story) is condescendingly rejected,
praised only for feminine loops of her penmanship. Advised to write a love story, she
pleads that the ghosts are a metaphor for the
past.
Such is the tenor of Del Toros fable, which
he wrote with Matthew Robins. You wouldnt
mistake it for Henry James or even for
Hitchcock. The exquisite set design is more
heightened than the emotions; the grotesques
are too beautiful to be too deep.
From England, Thomas Sharpe (the splendid Tom Hiddleston) comes to town with his
mysterious sister Lucille (Chastain), in
search of a grant for a contraption of his

invention to mine the red clay beneath their

home. Cushing, an established business
man, quickly rejects Thomas, but Edith doesnt.
The Sharpes have clearly duplicitous
motives, but Edith swoons for Thomas. Just
as theyre departing Buffalo, Ediths father is
killed. The scene is a beauty: in the steam and
golden light of a morning bathhouse, an
unseen assailant sneaks up to Carter and
crushes his skull over a sink, leaving blood
and water flowing from the cracked porcelain.
Edith and Thomas wed and the trio returns to
the remote Sharpe family manor in England,
Allerdale Hall, where the movie moves into
its more sedate, predictable house-of-horrors
second half. A hole in the roof pours light and
autumn leaves down the center, red clay bubbles beneath the floor boards, ghosts lurk in
the closets, the bath runs blood red and (horror of horrors) the kitchen could use granite
counter tops. Its a fixer upper.

The movie settles into a Notorious-like

plot where Edith is slowly poisoned while
unearthing the Sharpe family secrets.
The rich atmosphere of Crimson Peak
never wanes, but the story does. Having summoned the gothic ghosts, Del Toro never
fully unleashes them. The directors dark fantasy masterpiece remains Pans Labyrinth,
but his affection for gothic romance is infectious; hopefully he has a Dickens adaptation
in him.
As even his last film, the kaiju monster
movie Pacific Rim, proved, there may be
no better conjurer of color in movies right
now. His dreams, and nightmares, are in technicolor.
Crimson Peak, a Universal Pictures
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for bloody violence,
some sexual content and brief strong language. Running time: 118 minutes. Three
stars out of four.

GAP
Continued from page 1
level convened Thursday, Oct. 15, on
the Oracle Corporation campus in
Redwood Shores to discuss ways to
improve student performance, and
identify issues segregating student
learning in the county.
Students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds face greater difficulties in school, according to recent
test results, and officials are examining ways to help get those children on
course for academic success.
San Mateo County Manager John
Maltbie said collaboration between as
many public agencies as possible to
ensure the success of local students, as
education is the most effective means
of creating opportunity.
We should set the stage for achievement so students can lift themselves
out of poverty, he said.
One of the most effective means of
promoting student achievement is
offering early education and preschool
opportunities to as many children as
possible, said Maltbie.
The county Office of Education is
partnering with the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation to promote
the Big Lift initiative, which grants
funds to preschool and early education
programs to socioeconomically disadvantaged areas to help families in
need. The program is a finalist in the
online poll to receive a financial award
from Google, which would be spent to
expand the Big Lifts reach.
Ted Lempert, head of education advocacy group Children Now, echoed
many of Maltbies sentiments, and
also noted the need to channel additional resources to children from economically disadvantaged communities
to allow equal access to a quality education.
Every single one of our kids needs
to be educated, he said.
There is a stark contrast in student
achievement rates, based on their
socioeconomic background, as evidenced in the most recent Smarter
Balanced test results.
Roughly 70 percent of economically
disadvantaged students in San Mateo
County did not meet the expectation
for their grade level in English and language arts proficiency, according to
test results, and almost 80 percent did
not reach their expectations in mathe-

ing, this serious and broad-spanning
tone poem begins with a chaotic roar
depicting the desecration of the Earth,
followed by a brief lamentation and a

matics.
For students who do not face the hurdles of coming from an economically
stifled background, the results are
nearly opposite.
Almost 70 percent of students who
are not economically disadvantaged
met at least the grade level expectations for English and language arts,
according to the test results, and
approximately 63 percent achieved at
or beyond their grade level expectation for math.
As schools serving students from
poorer regions of the county are frequently pressed for adequate resources,
Lempert called for greater collaboration between public agencies such as
city governments and other community organizations to provide assistance.
Gloria Hernandez-Goff, superintendent of the Ravenswood Elementary
School District in East Palo Alto,
agreed on the need for schools to be a
hub of their community in providing
services beyond education to underprivileged communities.
She said schools in her district have
carved out a niche as a makeshift food
distribution center to students and families, offering a full slate of meals,
including dinner, to those who need it.
The district also collaborates with
Second Harvest Food Bank to provide
meals to families they can take home.
Of the nearly 3, 400 students
enrolled in her district, almost 97 percent live at or below the poverty level,
said Hernandez-Goff.
She said the greatest issue facing her
school community right now is the
escalating cost of housing, which has
pushed nearly half of the students
enrolled in her district to homelessness, as many families are forced out of
their residences because they can no
longer afford their rent.
still dark, yet more hopeful, turn to an
awakening.
Amundson told the audience that
Kallman wrote the work a couple years
ago, but it was saved for this tour in
the expectation that it would receive a
more accepting response in California
than in the South, where the orchestra
made its tour last year.

Hernandez-Goff said she has frequently heard stories of three and four
families pooling resources and living
together to try to afford a home amidst
the economic boom which is fueling
the housing crisis in San Mateo
County.
And though the school system can
help provide relief to students and families in need, Hernandez-Goff said,
greater assistance is required.
Theres only so much of a safety
net, she said. There are very deep
societal issues that need to be
addressed.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, DSouth San Francisco, said nationally
the misconception exists that all of
San Mateo County is thriving along
with the local economy.
But there are byproducts of that success affecting the quality of life locally, as evidenced by the tight housing
market and the difficulties that presents to some families, he said.
As residents navigate myriad challenges brought forth by a changing
cultural landscape, families need to
focus on simple methods of guaranteeing learning success, such as ensuring
students are attending class on a daily
basis, said Hedy Chang, director of
Attendance Works, a national agency
attempting to curtail student truancy
and chronic absenteeism.
Chang said regular class attendance
is one of the most simple and effective
methods of getting students onto a
course for academic success, and helping them avoid the pitfalls of falling
behind their classmates.
We have got to make sure kids, all
kids, are attending school every day,
she said. Otherwise, they are not getting an equal opportunity to learn.
Examining general district or school
data on absenteeism can be misleading
and often education officials need to
spend time analyzing information at a
local level to identify which students
may be missing class frequently
enough to be at risk of chronic absenteeism, said Chang.
Officials should also attempt to
understand what cultural or personal
issues may be affecting the lives of
local students, in an effort to help
reduce absenteeism.
If absences are adding up, we need
to understand why they are piling up,
she said.

Shostakovichs Festive Overture, as
grand and pompous as any of the old
Soviet commissars could have wanted
it, but brief and punchy, without broad
gaseousness. Here, as elsewhere in the
concert, the student musicians made
the earnest declaration that they had
something worthwhile to say. And
they said it in a room-filling sound of
great weight and beauty.

SOLAR
Continued from page 1
agreements. SolarCity, one of the countrys
largest home and business solar panel companies headquartered in San Mateo, filed the
suit Wednesday against Vivint Solar, Inc.
This isnt the first time the two solar
providers have entered into litigation concerning former employees whove left to
work for a competing company.
In the recent suit, the company alleges five
former SolarCity employees left to work for
Vivint, took confidential information about
potential or current clients and began trying
to convince other workers to leave the company a violation of SolarCitys year-long
no-solicit agreement all employees are
required to sign.
The San Mateo-based firm argues confidential proprietary information such as the
identities of qualified, credit-worthy homeowners who have decided to add solar panels
to their rooftops are valuable information
that SolarCity obtains only through significant effort and expense.
The lawsuit continues to allege Vivant and

POOL
Continued from page 1
ating expenses, which is higher than what it
had paid previously, according to a city
report.
The agreement will expire in 2026, a threeyear extension from the previous deal.
Both agencies are working together on
auditing the capital improvements required at
the pool, with an eye to finalizing an agreement that will develop a 10-year and 20-year
improvement and replacement program,
according to the report.
When both agencies want to use the pool at
the same time, the space will be divided in half
so each program will have equal opportunity
to enjoy the facility, according to the report.

five former SolarCity employees attempted

to persuade customers to cancel their contracts and sign with Vivant as well as solicit
other SolarCity employees to leave the
company while offering bonuses and promotions. While companies frequently poach
employees from competitors, particularly in
the Bay Area where tech businesses are rapidly expanding, SolarCitys no-solicit contract aims to prevent individuals from
encouraging former coworkers to leave.
The no-solicit agreement shouldnt be mistaken with a non-compete clause, the majority of which are considered illegal in
California when referencing the ability for
employees to work wherever they choose.
SolarCity firmly believes that employees
should be free to work wherever they want,
and unlike Vivint, SolarCity does not include
non-compete clauses in its employee agreements anywhere in America, Fred Norton,
deputy general counsel and head of litigation
for SolarCity wrote in an email. Of course, if
our employees go to work for a competitor,
we expect them to respect their obligations
to keep company information confidential
and not to solicit their former colleagues. We
dont like to bring these kinds of cases, but
when a former employee makes written plans
to poach signed customers for a competitor,

we have to defend ourselves.

SolarCity also sued Vivint Solar in 2013
on behalf of its then recently hired employee
who was allegedly under a non-compete
agreement with Vivint.
In that case, SolarCity contended the noncompete agreements are unlawful contracts
of adhesion and are therefore unconscionable, and that Vivant Solar has
threatened to sue employees who leave
Vivint Solar in Utah to preclude them from
working for SolarCity in California.
Vivint Solar did not return a request for
comment and, according to court records, the
case was dismissed in 2014.
Norton said Vivint went so far as to sue a
former executive after he quit his job to join
SolarCity, despite the employee agreeing to
wait a year before starting with the San
Mateo company to avoid a conflict.
Unfortunately, Vivint is willing to intimidate its employees when they try to leave
for a competitor and still comply with their
agreements; at the same time Vivant allows
its new hires to misappropriate their prior
employers confidential data, Norton wrote.
Now, the two solar competitors could
return to court as SolarCity seeks a jury trial
and for Vivant to stop soliciting current
SolarCity customers as well as employees.

The local firm is familiar with this type of

suit having filed a similar one against
another competitor Soligent Distribution,
LLC.
In that case, SolarCity lost 10 employees
to its competitor over the course of just a few
months in fall 2013, according to the suit.
SolarCity alleged Soligent hired the former
employees with the intent of obtaining confidential trade secrets. At least one former
SolarCity employee allegedly solicited customers and retained client lists they sought
to bring to Soligent, according to the suit.
After a San Mateo County Superior Court
judge denied SolarCitys request for documents concerning contact Soligent had with
its former employees, the company dropped
the suit, according to court records.
Moving forward, Norton emphasized
SolarCitys suit against Vivant is not about
non-compete agreements; its about the company retaining confidential information and
ensuring workers adhere to confidentiality
agreements.
Before we filed suit, we asked Vivint to
agree that this conduct was unacceptable and
they would make sure it stopped they
refused to say, Norton wrote. It is regrettable that Vivint has allowed this kind of
behavior by its employees.

The district will have exclusive rights to

using the entire pool for athletic competitions, physical education classes and three
other school events per year. The city will
have exclusive usage rights during school
hours from Monday through Friday, and certain off hours late at night and early morning
during the rest of the week, according to the
agreement.
Disagreement regarding these issues, and
others, were the source of great consternation
last year when officials on both sides of the
matter were at odds over how the pool should
be used, and who should pay for its maintenance.
Looking ahead though, Skelly, who was
hired in April, said he believed the resolution
was in the best interest of the Burlingame
community.
This has been a subject of lots of discussion, most of it I wasnt a part of, but I think

we have a pretty good agreement, said

Skelly.
Goldman said she believed both the city and
school district were willing to make compromises during negotiations, which eased the
path toward reaching an agreement.
We all serve the same people, and this is
something that puts the needs of the community first, she said.
Both Goldman and Skelly agreed it likely
did not matter to residents which agency was
responsible for paying maintenance costs, so
long as the pool remained open.
All this other stuff is noise, and its been
really noisy, Goldman said. To put that
behind us is really important for the city, and
I imagine a really important thing for the district.
Skelly said he agreed with that sentiment.
The people just want a pool, he said. It is
our job to provide the best services for them.

Should the Burlingame City Council and

San Mateo Union High School District Board
of Trustees approve the terms, attorneys representing both agencies will draft a legal
agreement which could be formally agreed
upon.
Goldman said she hopes both governing
boards will approve the terms of the deal so
each agency can turn its attention to more
pressing matters.
This is a key priority for the council and
the district to get this agreement in place, and
be able to move forward for the communities
we serve, she said.
The Burlingame City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, Oct. 19, at City Hall, 480 Primrose
Road, Burlingame. The San Mateo Union
High School District Board of Trustees meets
7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, on the campus of
San Mateo High School, 789 E. Poplar Ave.,
San Mateo.
