The remaining four elected offi-cials on the widely watched SanMateo County Harbor District

Board of Commissioners are slatedto choose one of six candidates toreplace Nicole David, who recentlyleft the board.

A special meeting will be heldMonday as the commissioners onthe special district aim to appoin t areplacement for Nicole David, theformer vice president of the boardwho left the district in October afterless than a year in office.

Most of the remaining commis-sioners were optimistic aboutbeing able to narrow down a candi-date who can help steer the districttoward smoother operations — par-ticularly as change is afoot with th edistrict now under the guidance of new a general manager after nearlya year of interim leadership.

Six eligible candidates appliedand bring varied backgrounds froma Menlo Park resident who isalready serving in an elected capac-ity to an El Granada resident whosehusband runs a business out of Pillar Point Harbor.

All maintained they could helpimprove the district that operateson a $10 million annual budget andwas the focus of two reports recom-mending dissolution. The HarborDistrict owns Pillar Point Harborin Half Moon Bay and managesOyster Point Marina/Park in SouthSan Francisco, but also has a slewof other responsibilities includingmaintaining an RV park and coastaltrail.

The district has been scrutinizedsince a scathing San Mateo CountyCivil Grand Jury report and theLocal Agency FormationCommission suggested the specialdistrict be dissolved citing con-cerns over board dysfunction andthe use of countywide propertytaxes to help support enterpriseactivities.

Board President Tom Mattuschsaid the district has made signifi-cant improvements over the lastyear and he’s confident they’llreach a consensus on selecting aqualified replacement Monday.

Mattusch said he’s looking forsomeone that is “a combination of a problem solver and a team player.I’d like to find somebody who hassome experience working on pub-lic boards. … We have a good widerange right now, there’s a highdegree of difference in ev erybody’sexperience.”

The candidates include James LeeHan, a Redwood City resident whoregularly attends Harbor Districtmeetings and previously sought aseat on hi s city’s council; VirginiaChang Kiraly, a former financeexecutive who plans on keepingher current po sitio n as president of the Menlo Park Fire ProtectionDistrict board; Edmundo Larenas, aMoss Beach resident who has

served on various environmentalagency’s board of directors and isthe chair of the county’s SurfriderFoundation chapter; ElizaManchest er, an El Granada residentwith a law degree as well as a mas-ter’s in public administrationwhose husband owns Half MoonBay Kayak Company ; Bud Ratts, aHalf Moon Bay resident who ownsa construction company and wasrecently appointed to the HarborDistrict’s Finance Committee; andBrian Rogers, a computer expertwho previously ran for a seat onthe board and used to live aboardhis boat at Oyster PointMarina/Park.

Commissioner Sabrina Brennansaid she wants to wait until theinterview process before comment-ing on what she’s looking for, butthat during the 2014 election, thepublic voted for a diverse board.

“I have an open mind and I’mlooking forward to hearing fromthem,” Brennan said. “From read-ing their resumes and letters of intent, they sound like they’re sin-

cere, interesting people who have alot t o offer their community.”

Commissioner Robert Bernardosaid he too is looking forward tothe int erview process sin ce you canonly glean so much from a resume.

Bernardo, Brennan and Mattuschsaid they recognized most of theapplicants, but have yet to decidewho is best suited for the district’schallenge.

They also noted there’s room forthe district to prosper as it has anew general manager, SteveMcGrath; is s eeking to fill severalkey administrative positions; mayopt t o proceed with a strategic busi-ness plan and is pushing criticalprojects forward. Those projectsinclude improvements to the WestTrail, a pedestrian beach path and asand replenishment project atSurfers Beach that seeks to detererosion.

The commissioners also agreedthey’re confident they can make a

selection by the Dec. 5 deadline andthereby avoid having the county’sBoard of Supervisors intervene.

Whoever is chosen, they’ll haveto be up for navigating an array of personalities, tackling environ-mental issues, improving the dis-trict’s finances and county inquiriesinto dispersing t he special agency.

“I’m look ing for someone who’sup for the task, because we’ve got alot ah ead of us that we have to tack-le, a lot of challenges, a lot of change, ” Bernardo said. “We have anew general manager, we have torespond to the civil grand juryreport, we’ve got a l ot to tackle andI think whoever this new commis-sioner is, they have to be up for thechallenge.”

The San Mateo County Harbor District’s s pecial meeting to inter-view and select a new commissi on-er begins 6 p. m. Mo nday, Nov. 1 6,at Sea Crest School, Room 1 9, 90 1

Six seek spot on Harbor DistrictBoard set to appoint new commissioner Monday

By Mark ShermanTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The SupremeCourt is giving an election-yearhearing to a dispute over stateregulation of abortion clinics inthe court’s first abortion case ineight years.

The justices said Friday theywill hear arguments, probably inMarch, over a Texas law thatwould leave about 10 abortionclinics open across the state. Adecision should come by lateJune, four months before thepresidential election.

The issue split the court 5-4 th elast time the justices decided anabortion case in 2007, andJustice Anthony Kennedy is

expected to hold the controllingvot e on a divi ded court.

The case tests whether toughnew standards for clinics and thedoctors who work in them are rea-sonable measures intended to pro-tect women’s health or a pretextdesigned to make abortions hard,if not impossible, to obtain.

Texas clinics challenged the2013 law as a violation of a

woman’s constitutional right toan abortion.

The high court previouslyblocked parts of the Texas law.The court took no action on aseparate appeal fromMississippi, where a state lawwould close the only abortionclinic, in Jackson.

States have enacted a wave of measures in recent years that h aveplaced restrictions on when in apregnancy abortions may be per-formed, imposed limits on abor-tions using drugs instead of sur-gery and raised standards for clin-ics and the doctors who work inthem.

The new case concerns the last

category. In Texas, the fight isover two provisions of the lawthat Gov. Rick Perry signed in2013 . One requires abortion facil-ities t o be constructed like surgi-cal centers. The other allows doc-tors to perform abortions at clin-ics only if they have admittingprivileges at a local hospital.

 Justices agree to hear firstabortion case since 2007

WASHINGTON — There’s littledoubt which candidate theDemocratic Party establishmentsupports for president. It’s noteven close.

Hillary Rodham Clinton haslocked up public support from half of the Democratic insiders whowill cast ballots at the party’snational convention, giving her abig h ead start in securing the no m-ination more than two monthsbefore primary voters start goingto the polls.

Clinto n’s margin ov er Vermont

Sen. Bernie Sanders and formerMaryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is

especially notable because mostof the people known as superdele-gates don’t usually back candi-dates so early in th e race.

“She has the experience neces-sary not only to lead this country,she has experience politically that Ithink will help her through a toughcampaign,” said Unzell Kelley, acounty commissioner fromAlabama. “I think she’s learnedfrom her previous campaign,” hesaid. “She’s learned what to do,what to say, what not to say —which just adds to her electability.”

The Associated Press contact-ed all 71 2 superdelegates in t hepast two weeks, and heard backfrom more than 80 percent.

They were asked which can didatethey plan to support at the con-

vention next s ummer.The results:Clinton: 359.Sanders: 8 .O’Malley: 2 .Uncommitted: 210.The 712 superdelegates make up

about 30 percent of the 2,382 del-egates needed to clinch theDemocratic nomination. Thatmeans Clinton already has 15 per-cent of the delegates she needsbefore the first voters go to theprimary polls .

Her lead reflects Clinton’sadvantage among the DemocraticParty establishment, an edge thathas helped the 2016 front-runnerbuild a massive campaign organi-

zation, hire top staff and win cov-eted local endorsements.

AMES, Iowa — Iowa support-ers’ response to Donald Trump’s95-min ute eruption ? An “ugh” anda shrug.

The reaction Friday to hisspeech in which the real estatemogul used a four-letter word notcommon to presidential cam-paign speeches, viciouslyattacked a rival and called the vot-ers “stupid” was a mix of mildoffense and resignation.

Trump’s speech, which at timesseemed to edge close to meltdownterritory, was a change fromrecent behavior for theRepublican presidential con-tender, who has appeared to betrying to tone down his rhetoricto broaden his appeal. And itcomes as the Republican estab-

lishment hasbeen growingi n c r e a s i n g l yalarmed at hisstaying power.

“He did not do

himself anyfavors when hesaid that. That’snot the kind of thing you need

to be doing,” said PlymouthCounty Republican ChairmanDon Kass, who is neutral in theGOP race. He said Trump’s s com-ments could turn off undecidedvoters as well as end up “galva-nizing the opposition.”

But Dick Graves, a Trump sup-porter who attended the rally, saidthat while the candidate’s com-ments were perhaps “a littlerash, ” he wasn’t offended.

Smoke rises from the site of U.S.-led air strikes in the town of Sinjar, Iraq.

By Susannah GeorgeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SINJAR, Iraq — Dealing a double blowFriday to the Islamic State group, IraqiKurdish forces pushed into the strategictown of Sinj ar in no rthern Iraq, and a coali-tion of Arab, Christian and Kurdish rebelfactions recaptured another town from themilitants across t he border in Syria.

The Kurdish forces raised their flag i n th ecenter of Sinjar, and a top official said itwas liberated, although U.S. and Kurdishmilit ary officials urged cautio n in declaringvictory in th e major offensive.

The fighters encountered little resist-ance, at least initially, suggesting thatmany of the IS militants may have pulled

back in anti cipation o f the advance. It wasalso possible that they could be bidingtheir time before striking back.

The offensive to retake Sinjar waslaunched Thursday by the Kurdish militiafighters known as the peshmerga forces,and they succeeded in cutting a key nearbyhigh way and retaking more than 150 squarekilometers (about 60 square miles) of terri-tory from the Islamic State group.Airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition s upport-ed the offensive, dubbed Operation FreeSinjar.

By cutting the road, Iraqi and coalitionofficials said the extremists will struggleto maintain a flow of supplies t o Iraq’s sec-ond-largest city, Mosul, which has beenunder militant control since June 2014.Without direct access on Highway 4 7, themilitants would have to travel off-road forseveral hours to travel between theirstrongh olds in Syria and Iraq.

Sinjar has been under the control of theself-described Islamic State group for morethan a year. It was overrun by the extrem-ists as they swept across Syria and Iraq inAugust 2014, leading to the killing,enslavement and flight of thousands fromthe Yazidi religious minority.

“We promis ed, we have liberated Sinj ar,”Massoud Barzani, the president of the

semi-autonomous Kurdish region, toldfighters in Sinjar. “It’s time for the Yazidigirls to raise their heads up. Revenge hasbeen taken for them.”

Across th e border in Syria, a rebel coali-tion known as the Democratic Forces of Syria seized the town of Hol in northernHassakeh province. The U.S.-backed offen-sive t o retake IS-held areas i n th e southernparts of Hassakeh is coinciding with thepush to recapture Sinjar.

Redur Khalil, the spokesman for themain Kurdish faction in Syria known as t heYPG, announced that the coalition tookHol.

Other keydevelopments

By Lolita C. BaldorTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is“reasonably certain” its drone strike inSyria killed the masked Islamic State mili-tant known as “Jihadi John,” who appearedin several videos depicting the beheadingsof Western hos tages.

But families of the hostages brutallykilled last year said his presumed death islittle so lace.

Army Col. Steve Warren, U.S. militaryspokesman in Baghdad, told reportersFriday that officials had been followingMohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born Britishcitizen, for some time.

“The intelligence indicators that we hadgave us great confidence that this individualwas Jihadi John and when the opportunitypresented itself — with the opportunity forminimal civilian casualties — we took theshot,” Warren said. “This guy was a humananimal, and killing him is probably makingthe world a little bit better place.”

Another U.S. official told the AssociatedPress that three drones — two U.S. and oneBritish — targeted the vehicle in whichEmwazi was believed to be traveling inRaqqa, the Islamic State’s self-proclaimedcapital in northern Syria. The official, whowas not authorized to speak publicly andrequested anonymity, said the U.S. drone,armed with a Hellfire missile, struck thevehicle.

Warren said that Emwazi and one of hisfriends were apparently killed, and therewere no civilian casualties. Officials areusing a variety of human and sign als int elli-gence, so cial media reports and oth er meth-ods to confi rm Emwazi’s death. A Turkis hofficial says authorities there have detaineda man they suspect is link ed to Emwazi. Theman, who they strongly believe to be Aine

Lesley Davis, was detained in Istanb ul.

Warren said the operation was one in astring of targeted attacks on Islamic Stateleaders, adding that the U.S. has killed onemid- to upper-level Islamic State leaderevery two days sin ce May.

Among those beheaded by Islamic Statemilitants in videos posted online sinceAugust 2014 were U.S. journalists StevenSotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid workerAbdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workersDavid Haines and Alan Henning, andJapanese journalist Kenji Goto.

Foley’s parents, John and Diane Foley, of New Hampshire, issued a statement callingthe purported death “a very small so lace.”

“His death does not bring Jim back. If only so much effort had been given to find-ing and rescuing Jim and the other hostageswho were subsequently murdered by ISIS,they might be alive today,” they said.

Likewise, Art and Shirley Sotl off said thedevelopment “doesn’t change anything forus; it’s too little too late. Our son i s nevercoming back.”

Violence inWest Bank

escalatingBy Nebi Qena THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian gunman ambushed anIsraeli family in the West Bank on Friday, killing a fatherand his son, while clashes with Israeli security forces in th eterritory killed two Palestinians in the latest escalation of violence.

According to th e Israeli milit ary, the Palestinian attackeropened fire as the family was driving near the West Bankcity of Hebron, killing the father, who was in his 40s, andhis 18-year-old son.

It was th e latest in a two-month wave of vio lence in whichPalestinian assaults on Israeli civilians and soldiers havebecome an almost daily occurrence. Hebron, the largestWest Bank city, has been a p articular flashpoin t in the cur-rent round of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Several hundredJewish settlers live in fortified enclaves in the city, amid

tens of thousands of Palestinians.The military says that over the past month, Palestinians

have carried out dozens of attacks i n Hebron alon e, i nclud-ing more than 20 stabbings, multiple assaults with cars andother vehicles and several shooting attacks.

Israeli media aired footage from the aftermath of theattack, showing a crashed car by the roadside. The reportssaid there were seven members of a West Bank settlementfamily in the car, driving home to celebrate the JewishSabbath when they were attacked.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressedcondolences and vowed to hunt down the attackers. “We willfind the despicable murderers and bring them to justice as wehave in the past,” he said in a statement.

Channel 10 released a dramatic audio of a call it said wasfrom one of the pass engers in t he car calling rescue servicesas the att ack unfolded. In the recording, a man’s vo ice can beheard saying they h ave a passenger wounded in the head andthat an ambulance from the Palestinian Red Crescent had

arrived at the s cene but sped away, leaving them there.

Big movers

NEW YORK — The stock marketslumped to its second-biggest weeklyloss of the year Friday, breaking astreak of six consecutive weeks of 

gains. Fears that the holiday shop-ping season will be a dud tanked retailstocks.

Retailers ranging from departmentstores to dollar stores plunged afterNordstrom posted disappointingthird-quarter results, just as Macy’sdid earlier thi s week.

The price of oil continued to slideon evidence that global supplies arestill rising. The dollar could get evenstronger, further pressuring oil andother commodities and affecting min -ing and energy companies.

The Dow Jones industrial averagefell 202.83 points, o r 1.2 percent, to17,245.24. The Standard & Poor’s500 gave up 22.93 points, or 1. 1 per-cent, to 2,023.04. The Nasdaq com-

posite index slipped 77.20 poin ts, or1.5 percent, to 4, 927.88.

Concerns about retail sales andskidding commodities prices haveeroded the gains from October’s bigstock market rally. Stocks have nowlost ground seven of the last eightdays. Overall the S&P 500 is downalmost 2 percent for th e year.

Nordstrom sank $9.51, or 15 per-

cent, to $53.96 after reporting weak-er sales. The company also cut itsforecast for the year. Macy’s had donethe s ame on Wednesday.

The holiday shopping rush willkick in to h igh g ear with Black Fridayin t wo weeks. Following s everal weak

reports from retailers, investors arebecoming worried that sales will bepoor during that period, which is acrucial moneymaker for retail compa-nies. Macy’s and Nordstrom bot h hi ttwo-year lows Friday. Consumer dis-cretionary stocks were by far theworst performing group in the S&P500.

J.C. Penney’s results were aboutequal to analyst projections, but itsstock lost $1.35, or 15.4 percent, to$7.44. Video game retailer GameStopsank $7.35, or 16.5 percent, to$37.18. Watchmaker Fossil Groupplunged $18.62, or 36.5 percent, to$32.39. Fossil posted disappointingearnings Thursday afternoon and alsosaid it will b uy activity tracker maker

Misfit for $260 million. Its shares hittheir lowest level in fiv e years.

Compounding those worries was agovernment report showing th at U.S.retail spending edged up just 0.1 per-cent in October, a bit less than ana-lysts expected. Prices charged byfarmers, manufacturers and other pro-ducers fell in October. The figuresshow there is little sign of inflation

in the U.S. economy. When inflationis higher, consumers have an incen-tive to spend more money.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst RichardJaffe suggested the widespread sell ingwas an overreaction. Shoppers willspend plenty of money this holiday

season, he said, and while they’respending more money on smart-phones and TVs and other big itemsthan they used to, there will still beplenty of socks and sweaters gi ven asgifts over the holidays.

“Christmas is boxed gifts,” Jaffesaid. “There will be a lot of gift giv-ing, a lot of apparel sales.”

Jaffe noted that Americans’ shop-ping habits have changed a lot overthe last few years. Consumers arespending more on homes, cars, andvacations. Aging baby b oomers don’tbuy clothes as often as they used to,and younger shoppers are more inter-ested in technology.

The price of oil continued to fallafter the International Energy Agency

said commercial inventories reachedalmost 3 billion barrels at the end of September, a record. The IEA also saidgrowth in global demand will slowdown next year. Oil prices havedropped because demand can’t keep upwith ever-increasing supplies. Thestrong dollar makes dollar-denomi-nated commodities costl ier to buyersusing yen, euro and other currencies.

Stocks have second-worst week of year

WASHINGTON — New produce safe-ty rules from the government Friday

are intended to help prevent th e kind of large-scale outbreaks of foodborne ill-ness that occurred over the past decadelinked to fresh spinach, cantaloupes,cucumbers and other foods.

Under the rules, the governmentsoon will have new oversight of thefarms that grow Americans’ food. Thatmeans, for example, making sureworkers are trained to wash theirhands, irrigation water is monitoredfor harmful bacteria and animals do notleave droppings in fields.

The majority of farmers and foodmanufacturers already follow goodsafety practices, but the rules areintended to give greater focus on pre-

vention in a system that has beenlargely reactive after large outbreaks.The Centers for Disease Control andPrevention estimate that 48 millionpeople — or 1 in 6 people in the

United States — are sickened each yearfrom foodborne diseases, and an esti-mated 3,000 people die.

The Obama administration has saidit wants people to eat more fruits andvegetables, so it is essential to ensureproduce safety.

The regulation s are tailored to coverfoods and growing methods that posethe greatest risk, and they target pro-duce such as berries, melons, leafygreens and other items usually eatenraw and more prone to contamination.A farm that produces green beans thatwill be cooked and canned, for exam-ple, would not be regulated. There arealso exemptions for smaller farms.

The Food and Drug Administrationhas hagg led over how to write the rulessince Congress approved them in2010. The agency has tried to find abalance between food s afety and regu-

lating farms with safety measuresalready in place.

The rules are new territory for theagency, which has never before hadsuch broad authority to oversee howfood is g rown on farms. The FDA orig-inally proposed the produce rules in2013, but rewrote them last year aftersome farmers said they would be tooburdensome. The final rules largelyfollow th at rewrite.

The rules require farmers to test irri-gation water quality, regularly trainworkers on the best health andhygiene practices, and monitorwildlife that may intrude on growingfields, among other measures.

Goal of produce safety rules: Prevent illness outbreaksPolice stop Googleself-driving car for going too slowly

MOUNTAIN VIEW — A car built by Google that drivesitself around city streets had a brush with the law for driving

too s lowly.A police officer in the tech giant’s Silicon Valley home-town pulled over th e proto type car Thursday because it wasgoing a traffic-tying 24 mph i n a 35 mph zone.

The officer spok e with the person in th e driver’s seat butissued no citation, according to the Mountain View PoliceDepartment. Though the car was driving itself, state lawrequires a person to be able to intervene when the technol-ogy is tested on public roads.

The officer wanted to “learn more about how the car waschoosing speeds along certain roadways and to educate theoperators about impeding traffic,” according to a depart-ment blog post.

The bubble-shaped prototype has two seats. Its top speedis 25 mph.

“Driving too slowly? Bet humans don’t get pulled overfor that too often,” Google’s self-driving car project wrotein a blog post. It said the cars — outfitted with high-techsensors and computing power — have never received a tick-

et.Other self-driving cars that Google has been testing onCalifornia roads and highways were involved in 16 minorcollis ion s between May 201 0 and October, according t o thecompany. A Google spokesman did not immediatelyrespond Friday when asked by email whether any collis ionshave occurred in November.

Google has said all the collisions were minor and hap-pened over 2.2 million miles of testing, including nearly1.3 million miles in self-driving mode. Google has saidself-driving cars caused none of t he accidents.

Representatives of Googl e’s self-drivin g car project havesaid that in recent months they’ve been trying to programthe vehicles to drive less like robots and more like people— in part to reduce the number of times they are hit by o therdrivers expecting certain driving behavior.

College of San Mateo footb all coach BretPollack said there are two go als for the CSMprogram: play for the state title, and contin-ue to evolve and develop as players, stu-dents and men.

While the latter goal is a long-term proj-ect, the former is much more attainable: asearly as Saturday, as a matter of fact.

When the Bulldogs host City College of San Francisco at 1 p.m. at College Heights

Stadium Saturday, CSM can take its firststep to ward playing for th e state titl e. A winover the Rams would give CSM a piece of the Bay 6 Conference and one of four spo tsinto the Northern California playoffs.

“Whoever wins this game is the No. 1seed throughout the p layoffs,” Poll ack said.“The ultimate goal is the state champi-onship.”

If the Bulldogs l ose, they aren’t automati-cally knocked out of the running. Threeconference winners receive the first threebids, while the fourth would be decided by

power rankings. Even with a loss, CSMcould conceivably grab that at-large spotbased on a better power ranking.

But Pollack said there has been no talkthis week about any playoff scenarios. Thefocus has been on the Rams.

“(We’ve) talked about San Francisco per-sonnel, San Francisco schemes. Worryabout what you can control,” Pollack said.

The Rams (8-1), ranked No. 1 in th e state,will present no surprises to the third-rankedBulldogs (7-2), and vice versa. The twoteams have faced each other for years and

the last several times playoff hopes havehung in the balance.

Saturday will be no different.

“There is so much history between thesetwo schools,” Pollack said. “We know theschemes. … They could walk in here blin d-folded (and know what we’re going to do)and we could walk in blindfolded to theirplace.”

Having a plan is one thing. Executing it isanother — especially on the football field.

Aragon knew what it was in for when theDons traveled to Hillsdale for the annual“Battle of the Fleas” game Friday night. TheDons’ goal was limit to Hillsdale running backCameron Taylor.

They failed.Taylor tore up the Aragon defense to the tune

of 301 yards and two touchdowns on 24 car-ries. But Taylor was far from alone. TheKnights turned in yet another overall domi-nant t eam performance as they beat Aragon forthe second time in a row, 45-22.

“We committed to stopping [Taylor],”Aragon coach Steve Sell said. “The only waywe had a chance was to put as many guys inthere (the bo x) as we could.

“I told him Bay, Ocean or Lake, he’s asgood, if not the best, we’ve played against. Hemight be the most complete football playerwe’ve faced this season, on both sides of theball.”

Taylor was far from a one-man show, how-ever. Nate Rosas added 50 yards rushing andtwo scores and quarterback Brett Wettelandscored on a 30-yard bootleg as well. All told,Hillsdale rushed for 381 yards.

“Our offensive line is playing very well,”said Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi. “Our run

game was really clicking.”The Knights’ passing game was far fromclicking on this night, however. Hillsdalecompleted just 4 of 10 passing for 64 yardsand did not attempt a pass in the second half.

But the biggest play of the game might havecome in the passing game. Hillsdale blockedits second Aragon field-goal attempt of thefirst half and recovered it at the Dons’ 40 with

 just over a second to play in the second quarter.Instead of just taking a knee, Parodi decided

to take a shot — and it wasn’t what anyonewas expecting. Wetteland took the snap andpitched the ball to Ben Frame — who also hap-pens to be t he Knights ’ backup quarterback.

“It's kind of the highlight of the season,”Gators defensive lineman Cameron Dulskysaid. “We always think about it like this istheir Super Bowl.”

The Knights (6-4) entered the final quarterleading 15-14, then stunned the Gators byrecovering a fumble with 9:47 remaining inregulation. But with a g olden op portunity toextend the lead staring them in the face, theKnights went on to commit two criticalturnovers on th eir following two pos sessionsto turn the tide.

Dulsky produced the game-changing inter-

ception when, on third-and-16, Menloattempted an option play with fullbackCharlie Roth taking the handoff, then look-ing to throw downfield. But Roth’s pass wasbatted in the air by Dulsky, and junior safetyThomas Wine gathered it for the interception.

“When I saw [Roth] pull up, I just tried toget my hand up and hit something,” Dulskysaid.

After takin g over at the Menlo 34-yard line,it took the Gators five plays to punch in thego-ahead score. Junior fullback Isoa Moimoibanged the 5-yard run into the end zone; butafter a botched two-point conversionattempt, Menlo was still in striking distanceas SHP took a 20-15 lead.

CCS roundup

What a rollercoaster ride Katie Osborne’sfirst year as Cañada Colleg e’s women’s soc-cer team has been.

But all’s well th at ends well.

It has been one streak after another thisseason for Osborne’s Colts, but the teamfinished with a flourish. Friday’s 4-0 winover Monterey Penin sula in th e regular-sea-son finale at Cañada marked the Colt s’ thirdstraight win.

Freshman forward Brady Candaele hadanother monster day, scoring all four goalsin the game. Having entered into play tiedfor 13th in the state in scoring, Candaelesurely sky rocketed up t he leader board.

“She is something else,” Osborne said.With their strong finish, the Colts

cemented a 10-9 ov erall record. It i s th e firsttime Cañada has finished above the .500mark since 2010. Prior to having the 2014

season cancelled, theColts went 2-45-1 from2011-13, including a2013 season in which theteam scored just one g oalon the season.

“I’m very happy with

what we’ve achieved thi sseason,” freshman

Ashley Harper said. “We

had a rough middle part,

but ultimately we showed our stripes and

showed what we’re made of.”

Harper actually started the year as a for-

ward, the position she played for two years

at Burlingame. When injuries obliterated

Cañada’s backfield, however, Osborne had

to g et creative with her lin eup. And a reluc-

tant Harper was relegated to defensive duty.“She does not like playing there,”

Osborne said. “And I think she’s fantasticthere.”

Harper proved hercoach right Friday,walling the Montereyattack from a legitimateattack all afternoon. TheLobos managed just twoshots on goal in thegame, b oth on free kicks.

“It’s not my favorite,”Harper said of her defen-sive role. “But when wehave games like these,

and we play like a team, that’s why I lovesoccer.”

Having a force like Candaele fronting theattack allowed Cañada to maneuver Harper.And what a force Candaele has been. In theColts’ previous game — a 3-0 win Nov. 6over Evergreen Valley — she als o accountedfor all of Cañada’s offense with a hat trick.Her four goals Friday matched her season-high, which she also notched againstMonterey in a 4-2 win Oct. 9.

“We’re playing against San FranciscoCity, the No. 2 team in the state, and I stillthink she’s the best player on the field,”Osborne said.

Candaele comes from an athl etic family. Anative o f San Luis Obisp o, s he is th e daugh-ter of former major league outfielder CaseyCandaele, who was recently hired as thefirst-base coach for Scott Servais’ new staff with a the Seattle Mariners.

It was actually Candaele’s mot her Christywho set her loose on the soccer pitchthough. And after a four-year varsity careerat San Luis Obispo High School, Candaelewas thrilled to be recruited by h er hometownDivision-I school at Cal Poly.

But Candaele’s Cal Poly career stalledafter a redshirt freshman season in 20 14 andlooked to transfer prior to this season.

“I was really bummed,” Candaele said. “Iwish I was still there and able to go on with

OAKLAND — Derek Carr and TeddyBridgewater struck up a friendship as theyinteracted throughout the whole 2014 draftprocess.

They kept in touch through the combine,pro days and pre-draft interviews, and stillkeep in touch to this day even as they getset to square off for the first time as profes-sionals on Sunday when Carr and theOakland Raiders host Bridgewater and theMinnesota Vikings.

“I know who was i n o ur class because wedid so many things together, whether it wasthe combine or draft visi ts, all those kind of things,” Carr said. “I definitely keep up androot for all the guys.”

Both Carr and Bridgewater also had to dealwith bein g p assed by ot her quarterbacks dur-ing the draft. While Blake Bortles wentthird to Jacksonville and Johnny Manzielwent 22nd to Cleveland, Bridgewater lasteduntil the final pick of the first round. Carrwasn’t taken until t he fourth pi ck of the sec-ond.

It’s safe to say the Vikings and Raiders arequite pleased with how that turned out.Bridgewater has Minnesota (6-2) tied forfirst place in the NFC North in his secondyear as a s tarter.

The next step for Bridgewater is learning

when to take chances sohe can provide more bigplays after throwing justsix TD passes the firsteight weeks.

“He’s taking good careof the ball, he’s movingin the pocket, he’s avoi d-ing negative plays, but

there’s times when he just needs to say, ‘theheck with it, it’s myball, let’s go,”’ Vikingscoach Mike Zimmer said.

Carr has not had thatproblem. He has thrown19 touchdowns and onlyfour interceptions thisseason and has a league-leading 11 touchdownpasses of at least 20yards.

“He has a little bit of agunslinger mentality,” Zimmer said. “He’snot afraid to throw the ball into tight cover,down the field, take his chances.”

Here are some things to watch when theVikings visit the Raiders:

High school buddiesCarr’s top receiver goes way back with

Bridgewater. Rookie Amari Cooper and

Bridgewater were teammates at MiamiNorthwestern Senior High School in 2010.They both turned into college stars andfirst-round draft pick s.

“He was the s ame way he is now,” Coopersaid. “He was a really pois ed player. Reallysmart. He was just a phenomenal player inhigh school.”

Rookie wideoutsWhile Cooper leads all rookies with 45

catches for 653 yards, the Vikings have aprolific rookie receiver of their own inStefon Diggs. Despite playing only fivegames, the fifth-round pick is secondamong first-year players with 461 yards on

 just 2 8 catch es.

All-Day AdrianWhile much of th e focus will b e on th e tal-

ented second-year quarterbacks, the Raiderswill be most worried about containingAdrian Peterson. The star running back hasfour 100-yard rushing games this seasonand leads the league with 758 yards on theground. The Raiders had been one of the

stingiest run defenses before allowingDeAngelo Willi ams to run for 17 0 yards lastweek in a loss at Pittsburgh.

“It still starts with Adrian Peterson,”Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. “Veryexplosive p layer.”

Leaky secondary

The Raiders allowed a franchise-worst 597yards last week to Pitts burgh, including 284yards on 17 catches by receiver AntonioBrown. Oakland cornerbacks DJ Hayden andDavid Amerson struggled to keep up withBrown, who also brok e numerous tackles onhis way to the bi g day. Oakland’s secondaryshould get a boost this week with safetyNate Allen set to return from a k nee inj ury.TJ Carrie also missed last week with aninjury and now can return to his natural cor-nerback spot with Allen back.

“A lot of what h appened were self-inflict-ed wounds,” Carrie said. “Those are thingswe can correct and thing s th at aren’t like usas a defense.”

Center of attention

The Raiders could be missing a key p art of their offensive line with center RodneyHudson nursing a sprained right ankle.Hudson is a major reason Carr has beensacked just eig ht t imes and the Raiders havescored at least 34 points the past three

weeks. If Hudson can’t go, the Raidersmight n eed to g o with Tony Bergst rom, whohas started one game in four years and hadnot played a single offensive snap since2012 before replacing Hudson in the fourthquarter last week.

STANFORD — For decades, when i t cameto rivalries at Stanford there was nothingthat could match the intensity of the annualseason-ending game against California.

While the Big Game still is tops in termsof history with memories of The Play andbattles for the prized Axe, when it comes to

importance the Cardinal’s annual gameagainst Oregon now takes top billing.

For the past five seasons, the winnerbetween the Cardinal and Ducks h as gon e onto take the Pac-12 title. That could happenonce again th is year as No. 7 Stanford (8-1,7-0, No. 7 CFP) can clinch t he Pac-12 Northby beating Oregon (6-3, 4-2 Pac-12) athome.

“We haven’t had as much history goingback decades like we have with Cal,” line-backer Kevin Anderson said. “But recentlyit has been a bigger game because the Pac-12 North has been at stake.”

The Ducks are mostly playing spoilerthis y ear thanks t o a stretch of three losses

in five games earlier this season. They canstill win the division by winning their finalthree games starting with Stanford and hop-ing the Cardinal lose at home to Cal nextweek.

What an Oregon win would do is put aserious dent in the Cardinal’s hope of mak-ing it into th e College Football Playoff.

“We take all that into consideration,”

Ducks receiver Dwayne Stanford said.“We’re trying to get to the Pac-12 champi-onship and to do that we’ve got to win outand we need some luck.”

Here are some oth er thing s to watch whenOregon visits Stanford:

Containing AdamsThe top task for the Cardinal will be try-

ing to contain Oregon’s dynamic quarter-back Vernon Adams. Adams has thro wn for887 yards and 10 TDs in three games sincereturning from a broken right index finger.His ability to extend plays with his legs andthen beat teams with his arm has Cardinalcoach David Shaw concerned.

“He’s like improvisational jazz,” Shawsaid. “It just starts and you don’t knowwhere it’s goin g to go o r where it’s going toend. The last couple o f weeks, it’s ended inthe end zone quite a bit .”

Wild Caff Stanford has its own game-breaker on

offense in Heisman Trophy hopeful

Christi an McCaffrey. The Cardinal launcheda website this week promoting his candida-cy (wildcaff.com) but it’s McCaffrey’s playthat really states his case. McCaffrey leadsthe nation with 2,174 all-purpose yards andis on pace to break the mark of 3,250 yardsBarry Sanders set in 11 games on the way towinning the Heisman Trophy in 1988.McCaffrey has rushed for 1,207 yards,caught 28 passes for 325 more, gained 642as a dangerous punt and kick off returner andeven th rew a TD pass l ast week at Colorado.

“Give him the Heisman,” receiverMichael Rector said. “He deserves it. He’sover here doin g thi ngs t hat we haven’t seenaround here for a long time. He’s a special

player.”

Running RoyceIf the Cardinal focus too much on Adams,

runnin g b ack Royce Freeman could do t hemin. Freeman has five straight 100-yard rush-ing games and is averaging 143 yards pergame on the ground. Freeman gained 150yards from scrimmage last year against

Stanford. Shaw called Freeman a “gamechanger,”

“He’s a big, physical, bruising back,”Shaw said. “But at the same time he haslong speed also and he has breakawayspeed. He can make people miss in t he openfield and he can break tackles. ”

Control the clockWhen Stanford has had success against

Oregon, it has been by controlling theclock and keeping the Ducks offense off thefield. In victories in 2012 and ‘13, theCardinal averaged nearly 40 min utes of pos -session. That forces Oregon to make themost of its few opportunities.

Two plays into Menlo’s following posses-sion, however, Gators linebacker AndrewDaschbach intercepted a pass by quarterbackMackenzie Morehead in Knights territory toput SHP in the driver’s seat with just over fourminutes to p lay. Then with 1:50 remaining, the

Gators put the game on ice when quarterbackMason Randall hit receiver Nick O’Donnell atthe go al line for a game-clinching touchdown.

O’Donnell’s scoring catch capped a big nightfor the senior, who had seven catches for 158yards. And that final connection with Randallshowed just how in syn c the two are, as the sen-ior quarterback fired a bullet through traffic thathit the third-year varsity receiver O’Donnellsquare in the numbers, allowing him to makethe reception even though the Menlo corner-back had a hand on the ball until O’Donnelltumbled to the turf.

Randall had a big night as well, completing12 of 21 passes for 237 yards and two touch-downs. He also flashed some uncharacteristicagility by dancing around the Menlo rush allnight long, allowing him to step up in thepocket and make something out of nothing on

several completions .“Mason is amazing,” O’Donnell said.

“Typically when he throws the ball, he justdrops back. … But tonight he found it. That kidcan move.”

Randall used his moves to get the Gators onthe board in the first quarter.

SHP opened with a three-and-out. But whenMenlo was forced to punt the ball right back,the Gators marched downfield for a 10-play, 67-yard scoring drive. After moving the ball withmoderate run gains into the red zone, SHP founditself up against it on fourth-and-11 from theMenlo 17-yard line. But Randall got somehappy feet going, stepping up in the pocketthrough traffic to throw off balance, hitting

 junior receiver Michael Mooring at the goalline for a score, giv ing th e Gators a 7-0 lead.

Menlo struck back, though, with a deliberate

march of its own. The Knights went 71 yards on14 plays, converting on third down threetimes, including a short scoring run by Roth.The big fullback managed previous runs of 8and 7 yards, and also caught a 14-yard pass onthird-and-9 to advance into the red zone. Threeplays later, Roth banged off tackle for a 2-yardtouchdown, tying it 7-7.

It was the first time since Week 3 againstSoquel the Knights had Roth and junior tail-back Charlie Ferguson working in tandem outof the backfield. Ferguson rushed for a game-high 96 yards on 18 carries while Roth added 30rushing yards against a stingy Gators defense.

“When we were healthy at the beginning of the year, we ran for 200 yards a game and threw

for like 250,” Menlo head coach Mark Newtonsaid. “Talk to us when we’re healthy and it’s adifferent ballgame.”

But the Gators’ aerial attack helped take thelead back minutes later. Randall ignited thedrive on third-and-10 from the Gators’ 25, hit-ting O’Donnell for a 21-yard pass. Two plays

later from midfield, Randall connected on aslant play over the middle with Daschbach,who rambled for a 33-yard pickup. Two playslater, Moimoi sprinted 10 yards on a draw play,capping a seven-play, 75-yard drive to giveSHP a 14-7 advantage.

Moimoi ran for a team-high 69 yards on 14carries and two touchdowns. Tailback LapituMahoni added 41 rushing yards on 12 carries.

In the third quarter, the Gators’ defense pro-duced a clutch goal-line stand. The Knights hadsecond-and-goal from the 1-yard line, but Roth— still not 100 percent after injuries kept himout of the offensive mix for a vast majority of Menlo’s Peninsula Athletic League OceanDivision schedule - carried three times to noavail, ultimately getting s tuffed by linebackersDaschbach and David Peterson on fourth down.

After the Gators took over at the 1-foot line,

however, Menlo got a fortuitous swing when,faced with a fourth-down punt, SHP snapped theball out of the end zone for a safety, closing theGators’ lead to 14-9.

Menlo took the ensuing kickoff and madequick strides with passing gains of 15, 14 and17 yards. Ferguson capped the 55-yard scoringdrive with a 3-yard sweep from a hurry-up lookto put Menlo up 15-14.

But then the turnover bug bit.“We were in a good position and then we just

didn’t make the big play at the big moment,”Newton said.

SHP’s win marks its fourth consecutive ValpoBowl victory. Menlo last won the annual rival-ry match in 2006 with a 26-0 victory.

She had never heard of Cañada and nevermet Osborne. But three days after meetingthe Colts’ new coach, Candaele moved inwith an aunt in Redwood City and enrolled atCañada.

After her standout performance this sea-son, Candaele has h ad several t ransfer offersfrom Division-II programs. She said she isstil l undecided as to whether or not s he willreturn to Cañada next season, or transfer toa four-year school .

“I would love to go back to Division I,”Candaele said.

The freshman certainly looked like aDivisio n-I prospect Friday.

Cañada’s first goal came off a tremendousdefensive effort by Harper. On one of Monterey’s few offensive pushes of thehalf, the center back Harper stopped a for-ward attempt by covering much ground totry a sliding t ackle. Although Harper kickedthe ball away clean, she was called for afoul. But after Monterey sophomore ElsaZarate’s free kick sailed over the cage,

Cañada drove right back for its first goal.Candaele took a booming kick from

freshman Victoria Rehn and controlled it upto the top of the penalty box. After taking amoment to line up a shot, Candaele’spatience paid off as she took aim parallelfrom the right post and scored on a crossshot that found left corner net, giving theColts a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute.

In the 30th minute, Candaele struckagain. This time, the quick forward had alook off a long pass and charged into thekeeper’s box, only to have the loneMonterey defender chip the ball out of bounds. Cañada converted on the ensuingcorner kick though, as freshman HaleyBugler sent in a good arc to Candaele whoscored on a header to put the Col ts up 2-0.

Candaele’s h ustle resulted in t he th ird goal just before halfti me. After cont roll ing a ballat midfield, she flank ed Erika Negrette, whodrove to the penalty box and passed to

Candaele near the end line. She dribbledaround the lone defender but hugged the endline as she fired a tight shot i nto the op po-site corner of goal in the 44th minute.

“I was raised to never stop until the whis-tle blew,” Candaele said. “I had room infront of me, I had the space, and I took it.”

Candaele added her fourth goal in in the77th minute, taking a rebound off her ownshot with a sliding attempt th at resulted in acollision with a Monterey defender.Candaele won the challenge though to givethe Colts a 4-0 lead.

The Colts’ three-game win streak wasinspired by a close 3-2 loss to playoff-bound Las Positas Oct. 30 to fall to 7-9overall, Osborne lit a fire under her team. Itwas time, as the Colts had just proven they

could play with on e of Northern California’stop-ti er teams; after all, the game was dead-locked 2-2 until Las Posit as took the lead inthe 86th minute on a penalty kick.

“We came to an agreement that we didn’twant to say that anymore,” Osborne said.“So we had some really in tense practices. ”

Cañada didn’t lose another game afterthat.
