After nearly a year of interim leadershipwhile weathering troubling times, the SanMateo County Harbor District announced ithas found a new general manager — and per-haps just in time as a large number of staff have either resigned, retired or left underquestionable terms.

The Board of Commissioners reportedWednesday it selected Steve McGrath, cur-rent manager of the Port San Luis HarborDistrict, to step in and steer the local agencytoward a brighter future.

McGrath may take over as early as Oct. 19,thereby ending the temporary leadership thedistrict has employed, which includes twointerim general managers, since 17-yearleader Peter Grenell retired in January.

On top of a long list of responsibilities andongoing projects, McGrath would be respon-sible for hiring or restructuring several keypositions recently vacated or about to be.

Many commissioners have said the board’snew members elected last November, alongwith hiring a new general manager, wouldhelp address a range of concerns raised duringrecent scrutiny.

The special district has been in the hot seat

since a scathing civil grand jury report and theLocal Agency Formation Commission recom-mended it be dissolved and the county absorbits duties — which primarily includes owningPillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay andmanaging Oyster Point Marina/Park in SouthSan Francisco.

It’s peak harvest week for the dozens of vine-yards that run along the San Andreas Fault inthe Santa Cruz Mountains.

In fact, it’s the earliest harvest in at least 78years, said David Page, the owner of La HondaWinery in Redwood City.

The area’s recent heat wave put this year’sharvest at least two weeks ahead of last year’s,which was the earliest harvest the region hasseen in decades, Page said.

La Honda Winery and Post & TrellisVineyards farm over 50 private estate vineyardsfrom Atherton in San Mateo County south toSaratoga in Santa Clara County.

On Tuesday, winemaker Colin McNany led acrew in prepping just-picked grapes for LaHonda’s pinot noir, chardonnay and cabernetvarietals.

Page said the Santa Cruz Mountains has ter-roir that is the envy of the world.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” Pagesaid.

The Santa Cruz Mountains are underappreci-ated for the grapes they produce and are over-shadowed by Sonoma and Napa counties, he

said.But the climate, exposure and soils in this

area lead to the production of good fruit.“If you’re not growing good fruit, you’re not

making interesting wine,” said Page, whobought La Honda Winery in 2010.

Page, from England, grew up in the winebusiness as his father managed wineries inFrance.

A philosophy and economics graduate fromOxford University, Page moved to the Bay Areain 2001 in a quest to get to know Californiawine.

What he has found in the Santa CruzMountains is the perfect terrain for all differenttypes of fruit.

The eastern exposures and huge degree of dif-ferent elevations make for some delicious vari-eties, he said.

Grapes grown in Woodside are used to make

chardonnay and pinot noir. In Atherton, grapesgrown there are used to make sauvignon blancand pinot noir. To the south in Los Altos Hills

and Saratoga, grapes grown there make for theperfect cabernet sauvignon because of thewarmer temperatures, soil and elevations, Pagesaid.

La Honda starts with great grapes but it takesa great winemaker to make it all work, Pagesaid.

La Honda’s winemaker, McNany, is a gradu-ate of University of California at Santa Cruz insustainable agriculture and viticultrue. McNanywas invited onto the judging panel for Wine &Spirits Magazine in 2012 and spent time in NewZealand working at Martinborough winery. Hehas also traveled to Argentina and Chile onwine expeditions.

La Honda uses state-of-the-art equipment withOld World craftsmanship and makes only smallbatches. The urban winery on Fair Oaks Avenuealso hosts about 200 corporate parties, charityevents, cooking parties and weddings a year.

This weekend, La Honda Winery is hosting awine and cheese harvest party starting at noonthat will feature artisan creamery cheeses from

Harley Farms and Redwood Hill Farms.The winery itself on the inside features stone,wood and wine barrels with just the right light-ing to make for a unique, fun experience, Pagesaid.

La Honda Winery is generally closed to thepublic but does host a monthly open day andwine tasting, typically on the third Saturday of the month. It also will host private tours andtastings for groups of 10 or more.

Obituary

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — The state on Fridaycleared some farmers, water agencies and othersto resume pumping from three NorthernCalifornia waterways, easing one of the tough-est restrictions stemming from the state’s four-year drought.

The limits, and the new order easing them,were among the most stringent ever imposed onso-called senior water-rights holders, who holdsome of the strongest claims to water fromCalifornia watersheds. State officials say it isthe first time they have lifted a 2015 restrictionon senior rights holders.

The order from the state Water ResourcesControl Board allows a certain group of seniorwater-rights holders — those who claimedstakes between 1903 and 1914 — to resumepumping from the Feather and Sacramentorivers and from the delta of the Sacramento andSan Joaquin rivers, said Kathy Mrowka, the

board’s manager for waterrights.

It applies to 238 waterrights, although somefarmers and others holdmore than one of the rights.

The state had told thoserights holders to stop tak-ing from the waterwaysearlier this year. Reducedwater use by those still

allowed to pump from the watersheds allowedCalifornia to ease the restrictions, Mrowka said.

California water law is based largely onensuring the rights of those with the oldestclaims, dating back more than a century. Thestate has cut the water allotted to countless otherfarmers, water agencies and others with newerrights.

Gov. Jerry Brown this spring also orderedcities and towns to cut their water use by 25 per-cent.

California eases restrictionson water for some farmers

MIDDLETOWN — High school mathteacher Bill Davis watched from his home assmoke mounted from one of the mostdestructive fires in California in recent mem-ory.

From a previous fire in late July, he knewto expect a recorded call on his cellphone orlook for someone coming through the neigh-borhood with a bullhorn yelling for people toevacuate.

“None of that happened,” he said. Hishouse in Lake County burned after he finallyrounded up his cats and left.

Davis was among a number of survivorswho say they never got an official evacuationnotice Saturday about the blaze — a situationthat raises questions about whether morecould have been done to notify residents.

Authorities defended their warnings andrescue attempts, saying they did all theycould to reach people in the remote area of homes, many prized for their privacy.

“You may get that notice, or you may not,depending on how fast that fire is moving. If you can see the fire, you need to be going,”said Lynnette Round, a spokeswoman for theCalifornia Department of Forestry and FireProtection, known as Cal Fire.

Round said two men in Calaveras County— 66-year-old Mark McCloud and 82-year-

old Owen Goldsmith — died after rejectingorders to evacuate.

Three people were killed in a separate firein Lake County. It wasn’t clear if theyreceived evacuation notices. However, twoof them declined requests by friends andfamily to leave.

The body of 72-year-old BarbaraMcWilliams, who used a walker, was foundin her home in Anderson Springs. Her care-giver, Jennifer Hittson, said there were noevacuation orders when she left McWilliams’home around 3 p.m. Saturday and no indica-tion the fire was that serious.

She asked McWilliams if she wanted toleave but the retired teacher declined, sayingthe fire didn’t seem bad.

Some say they weren’t warned about wildfires

A Daly City man was sentenced to twoyears, eight months in prison Thursday for

fraudulently purchasingmore than 167 iPads,prosecutors said.

Jesus Binay Morales,38, was convicted of

using financial informa-tion from more than 24victims to buy iPads atVerizon stores or kiosksin Burlingame, SanBruno and South San

Francisco.The 76 different transactions from July to

October 2011 resulted in an estimated lossof more than $146,000, prosecutors said.

In the case that was brought before JudgeLeland Davis, Morales pleaded no contest tofelony counts of grand theft and identitytheft, and admitted the theft of more than$65,000 on the condition that he serve twoyears and eight months in prison.

He will serve the time after finishing afederal prison sentence he’s already serving.

Attorney Tom Greenberg was representingMorales.He was assigned to the defendant through

the San Mateo County’s private defenderprogram in May, after Morales’ former attor-ney was arrested.

SACRAMENTO — California’s unemploy-ment rate dropped to 6.1 percent in August,down slightly from 6.2 percent in July, the

state Employment Development Departmentreported Friday.The state added 36,300 nonfarm jobs last

month but the increase wasn’t as strong as the80,400 jobs added in July.

California’s jobless rate remains above thenational average of 5.1 percent in August.

The state employment agency reportedthere are roughly 17.9 million Californiansholding jobs while another 1.2 million areunemployed. The numbers are based on feder-al and state surveys of employers and house-holds, but don’t take into account people whohave stopped looking for work.

Seven of 11 employment classifications saw

job gains, including construction, transporta-tion, financial activities, educational andhealth services, leisure and hospitality andgovernment.

The four areas that reported job losses

include mining and logging, manufacturing,professional and business services and onecategory labeled “other services.”

The state has added more than 2 million jobs since California’s recovery began inFebruary 2010, according to EDD.

State unemployment is now the lowest it’sbeen since January 2008. A year ago,California’s jobless rate was 7.4 percent.

The number of people receiving unemploy-ment benefits dropped as well. EDD reported367,255 people receiving unemploymentchecks in August, compared to 377,940 inJuly.

LOS ANGELES — Federal officials onFriday appealed a court order to quicklyrelease immigrant children from family deten-tion centers.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh C.Johnson said in a statement that officials weretaking steps to comply with the order by U.S.District Judge Dolly M. Gee but disagreedwith portions of her decision. He did not spec-ify which portions.

In recent months, the government has beenconverting family detention centers into pro-cessing centers for interviews and screenings,Johnson said.

“The detention of families is becomingshort-term in most cases,” he said.

Last month, Gee ruled that the federal gov-

ernment was in breach of a longstanding legalagreement stipulating that immigrant childrencannot be held in secured facilities that aren’tlicensed to care for children.

She gave authorities until Oct. 23 to complywith her order to release them, with theirmothers when possible.

Federal court records show the governmentfiled the notice of appeal on Friday.

Peter Schey, an attorney for the plaintiffs,said he expected the government would arguethe children are not covered by the 1997agreement because they arrived on the U.S.-Mexico border with their mothers and notentirely alone.

“We’re disappointed that Secretary Johnsonis persisting in pursuing a mindless policy thatcauses extreme harm to innocent children,” hesaid.

WASHINGTON — Congress is decidingwhether it wants another pitched battle withfirst lady Michelle Obama and the adminis-tration over school lunches that put morewhole grains in kids’ meals and cut saltyfoods.

Last year, school food rules pitted Mrs.Obama against Republicans seeking fullexemptions for some schools. The first ladydeclared that she would fight “to the bitter

end” to make sure kids have good nutrition.Lawmakers are now hoping to find biparti-san compromise on the rules and also dollarsfor the nation’s child nutrition programsbefore the law expires Sept. 30. So far, how-ever, negotiations have failed to produce a billin either the House or the Senate.

Lawmakers may not seek an immediateextension if the law expires. The school foodsrules won’t change unless Congress takesaction, and the Agriculture Department saysother programs would continue to operate aslong as Congress passes a budget this fall.

The rules phased in since 2012 set fat, calo-rie, sugar, grain and sodium limits on foods inthe lunch line and beyond. Schools have longbeen required to follow government nutritionrules if they accept federal reimbursements forfree and reduced-price meals for low-incomestudents, but the new standards are stricter.

While many schools have had success put-ting the rules in place, many Republicans saythe standards have posed too many challengesfor school nutrition officials who must bal-

ance serving healthy foods with keeping par-ticipation up in their programs.

The School Nutrition Association, a groupof school nutrition directors, has pushedCongress to ease the whole grain and sodiumstandards and eliminate the stipulation that allchildren buying a full lunch take a fruit or veg-etable. They are also seeking a higher federalreimbursement rate.

Democrats, including Mrs. Obama, wouldlike to leave the standards alone and argue thatthey are working.

Beyond school lunch, child nutrition pro-

grams expiring at the end of the month includethe Agriculture Department’s Women, Infantsand Children program for new and expectingmothers and their children, summer feedingprograms and other government institutionalfood aid.

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., chairman of theSenate Agriculture Committee, is negotiatingwith the panel’s top Democrat, DebbieStabenow of Michigan, to get a bipartisan bill.He said this week that changes to the sodiumstandards are a priority.

The 2012 standards already lowered saltlevels in school meals, with even lower sodi-um levels set to start in two years. Someschools have said they will have to take manypopular items off their menus if the 2017 lev-els go into effect.

Jessica Shelly, food service director atCincinnati’s urban public schools, says the

new standards would mean she couldn’t servesoy sauce or hot sauce with some items,condiments that have helped her get kids toeat healthier foods like greens.

WASHINGTON — Seeking to avert a gov-ernment shutdown, Republican leaders drovea bill blocking Planned Parenthood’s federalfunds through the House on Friday, hoping tocontain conservatives’ demands for a politi-cally risky showdown with President BarackObama by striking a quick blow against abor-tion.

The nearly party-line 241-187 vote fol-lowed a no-holds-barred debate that includeda graphic, poster-sized photo of a scarred,aborted fetus and underscored how abortionhas resurfaced as a white-hot political issue.The battle has been rejoined just in time forthe 2016 election campaign and next week’shistoric address to Congress by Pope Francis.

The issue’s re-emergence followed therelease of secretly recorded videos of PlannedParenthood officials offhandedly discussing

how they sometimes procure tissue from

aborted fetuses for medical research. Theanti-abortion activists who made the videossay they show that Planned Parenthood is ille-gally profiting from fetal organ sales.

“What does it say about this Congress thattoday we’re here on the House floor debatingthe killing and harvesting of aborted babies?”said Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind. “How canthere possibly be two sides to this?”

Democrats said the true GOP goal was towhip up conservative voters with legislationthat would make it harder for women to gethealth care. Planned Parenthood, whose clin-ics provide sexual disease tests, contraceptionand abortion, says it’s done nothing illegaland is being victimized by misleadingly edit-ed videos.

Republicans “are willing to risk women’slives just to score political points,” said

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.,who chairs the Democratic National

Committee. “Enough is enough.”Planned Parenthood gets around $450 mil-

lion yearly in federal payments, mostlyMedicaid reimbursements for handling low-income patients. That’s around one-third of the organization’s $1.3 billion annual budget.

Practically none of the federal money can beused for abortions.

Beyond Friday’s bill, some conservativeswant to attach language halting PlannedParenthood’s payments to broader legislationfinancing government agencies, which other-wise run out of money next Thursday. ThoseRepublicans say a shutdown fight would at

least produce a veto battle that would showvoters where Republicans stand.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obamaand Cuban President Raul Castro had a rarephone call Friday ahead of Pope Francis’impending visit to both their nations.

The White House said Obama and Castrocommended the pope’s role in “advancing rela-tions between our countries.” Francis wasinstrumental in the secret talks that led to a thawin relations between the Cold War foes, even

offering the Vatican as aneutral location for negoti-ations.

Francis’ visit to the U.S.and Cuba comes as the twocountries painstakinglywork to normalize rela-tions after a half-centurydiplomatic freeze. EarlierFriday, the U.S. easedrules for citizens wishing

to travel to Cuba or do business with its grow-

ing ranks of independententrepreneurs, a step aimedat kindling greater econom-ic freedom on the island.

The Treasury andCommerce departmentssaid the regulations thattake effect Monday sim-plify procedures fortourism, telephone andInternet investments, and

money transfers to Cuba.

Even as the U.S. andCuba move forward oneasing tensions, deep dif-ferences remain. Cubawants the U.S. to fully liftits economic embargo onthe communist island, astep the Republican-con-trolled Congress opposes.The U.S. also has concernsabout Cuba’s human rights

record and detainment of political prisoners.

Investigator: Bergdahlleft post to expose problems in unit

SAN ANTONIO — The officer who led the investigation of Bowe Bergdahl’s disappearance and capture in Afghanistan

six years ago testified Friday that the Armysergeant said he walked away from his postas part of a plan to spark a search and getthe attention of a general so he couldexpress his concerns about his unit’s lead-

ership.Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl told a packedcourtroom at Fort Sam Houston in SanAntonio that Bergdahl felt the problemswere so severe that they put his platoon indanger, but that Bergdahl’s perceptions

were “completely off the mark.”Dahl said Bergdahl had an elaborate plan to head from his

post to the forward operating base roughly 19 miles away,expecting to arrive while a search was underway and to createa “PR event” that might get a general to listen to him.

“He felt it was his duty to intervene,” said Dahl, whodescribed Bergdahl as having few friends but who seemedmotivated to help others. He said he doesn’t think Bergdahlshould go to prison.

Marines seek to keepcombat jobs closed to women

WASHINGTON — The commandant of the Marine Corpshas recommended that women be excluded from competingfor certain front-line combat jobs, U.S. officials said Friday,as the Corps distanced itself from the other military servicesthat are expected to allow women to serve in battlefieldposts.

Officials said Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford submitted hisrecommendation to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Thursday.Mabus has made it clear he opposes the proposal from and rec-ommended that women be allowed to compete for any Navyor Marine Corps combat jobs.

The developments have raised questions about whetherMabus can veto the Marine Corps proposal to prohibit womenfrom serving in certain infantry and reconnaissance positions.And it puts Dunford, who takes over next week as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the position of defending an exclu-sion in his own service that the Army, Navy, Air Force andU.S. Special Operations Command have suggested isn’t war-ranted in theirs.

Russian, U.S. military talks: Concerned over SyriaWASHINGTON — American and Russian military chiefs

began talks Friday over Moscow’s buildup in Syria, signalingthe U.S. is resigned to Russia’s emerging plans but anxious toavoid dangerous misunderstandings on the battlefield.

A 50-minute phone call between U.S. Defense SecretaryAsh Carter and Russia Defense Minister Sergei Shoigumarked the first military-to-military conversation between thetwo countries in more than a year. And it came as Russia con-tinued to send aircraft, troops and military equipment intoSyria and the U.S.-led coalition kept up its assault againstIslamic State militants.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov broached the ideaof direct talks earlier this week in a phone call with U.S.Secretary of State John Kerry, and Shoigu initiated the call toCarter on Friday.

NEW YORK — Fears over slowingglobal growth hammered stocks in theU.S. and Europe on Friday and liftedprices of government bonds and other

assets seen as safer bets.The selling pushed down major stockindexes in Germany, France and Britainbefore spreading to the U.S. TheStandard and Poor’s 500 index slumpedto its biggest loss in more than twoweeks as all 10 industry sectors of thebroad market gauge fell. Energy compa-nies dropped the most as oil plunged.

The stock sell-off came a day after theFederal Reserve decided to hold interestrates near zero. That means borrowingcosts will remain low for a while yet, aprospect that has in the past typicallyboosted stocks. But some investors,expecting the Fed would be confidentenough to nudge rates up by at least aquarter of a point, interpreted the stanceas a sign that the global economy is dan-

gerously weak.“If growth in the strongest economy— the United States — isn’t strongenough to raise rates even a quarter of apoint, what does that say about theprospects for global growth?” said BillStrazzullo, chief strategist at marketresearch firm Bell Curve Trading.

The Fed has kept its benchmark rate

close to zero for almost seven years. Inthat time, U.S. stocks have nearlytripled from their financial crisis low.The Fed meets again next month and inDecember.

The Dow Jones industrial averageended down 290.16 points, or 1.7 per-cent, to 16,384.58. The S&P 500slumped 32.17 points, or 1.6 percent, to1,958.03 and the Nasdaq compositeshed 66.72 points, or 1.4 percent, to4,827.23.

Bonds rallied as investors soughtsafety. The benchmark 10-year Treasurynote gained, pushing down its yield to2.13 percent. Gold also gained.

A gauge of investor fear, the VIXindex, shot up 7 percent to 23. In earlyJuly, this measure of expected swings instock prices was 12.

In its rate decision Thursday, the Fedcited low inflation, weakness in theglobal economy and unsettled financialmarkets. Investors have been on edgeabout a slowdown in China and otheremerging market nations since last

month. The S&P 500 index is downabout 8 percent from its record close of 2,130.82 set in May.

UBS strategist Julian Emanuel said amix of other factors may have also fedthe selling Friday.

Investors are worried about third-quarter corporate earnings, which areforecast to drop 4 percent for companies

in the S&P 500. Also, several dozenHouse Republicans have said theywon’t vote for a funding bill thatincludes money for PlannedParenthood, raising the specter of a gov-ernment shutdown next month.

“When you add up the Fed, China, thecloudy earnings outlook and, and possi-bly of government shutdown, it’s not asurprise that the market has had a defen-sive reaction,” Emanuel said.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX fell 3.1percent while the CAC-40 in Francedropped 2.6 percent. Britain’s FTSE100 ended the day 1.3 percent lower.

Among U.S. stocks making bigmoves, JPMorgan Chase fell $1.71, or2.7 percent, to $60.94 as investors

judged that lower interest rates forlonger mean banks won’t be able chargemore for loans. Citigroup slumped$1.36, or 2.6 percent, $50.29.

La Quinta plunged $2.92, or 15 per-cent, to $16.05 after the hotel companyannounced late Thursday that its CEOWayne Goldberg had stepped down

after almost a decade in charge. Thecompany also lowered its 2015 salesforecast due to weak demand in Augustand September.

WASHINGTON — So what will it take forthe Federal Reserve to finally raise interestrates?

The U.S. economy is now in its seventhstraight year of expansion. It’s growing at asteady if unexciting 2.2 percent annual rate.Unemployment has sunk from a 10 percentpeak to a reassuring 5.1 percent. Auto andhome sales have accelerated.

Yet on Thursday, Fed officials declined tolift rates from record lows.

The decision left some Fed watchers mys-tified over what the central bank needs tosee to begin phasing out a policy itlaunched in 2008 to help save a collapsingeconomy. Many consumers and businesseswouldn’t even likely feel the consequencesof a single rate hike, at least not immediate-ly. And Yellen has stressed that the Fed’s

rate increases would be modest and gradual.At a news conference, Yellen declined to

spell out what exactly would give the Fedenough confidence to raise the federal fundsrate — the interest that banks charge each

other — from near-zero.“I can’t give you a recipe for exactly what

we’re looking to see,” she said.What she does see now are too many lin-

gering risks.Inflation is still undershooting the 2 percent

target that the Fed regards as consistent withstable growth. Financial markets have turnedstormy as doubts have spread about whetherChinese officials can sustain decent growth inthe world’s second-largest economy.

Emerging markets from Brazil to Malaysiaare struggling. Europe is straining to avoidstagnation. And falling oil prices have pulledCanada — the largest U.S. trading partner —into recession.

The doubts remain so severe that the Fedappears to consider even a mild rate hike —

one that many economists say will barelyaffect most Americans — a step too far.

Yellen signaled some concern Thursdayabout China’s slowdown and volatile finan-cial markets. But many economists say the

Fed is paying particular attention to three keygauges in weighing whether to raise rates.They say the Fed needs to see:

A STABLE DOLLARThe dollar has risen 14.8 percent against a

basket of currencies in the past year. This hashurt U.S. manufacturers by causing theirAmerican-made goods to become moreexpensive abroad. It also reduces inflationarypressures because foreign-made goodsbecome cheaper. A stronger dollar can putinflation further below the Fed’s target rate.

STEADY OIL PRICESA barrel of oil has more than halved in

value to $44.07 over the past 12 months. That

decline has suppressed inflation. The Fedforecasts that its preferred inflation measurewill be just 0.4 percent this year — a fractionof its 2 percent objective. Fed officials may bereluctant to act until they believe that oil

prices have bottomed.

AN EVEN STRONGER JOB MARKET

Over the past year, employers have added2.9 million jobs, and the unemployment ratehas dropped a full percentage point to 5.1 per-cent. The Fed considers that level consistentwith a “balanced” economy. But the hiringhas yet to spur faster wage growth — a trendthat would improve people’s well-being and,Yellen stressed, help inflation reach the Fed’sobjective.

The Fed doesn’t want to assume that allthree of these economic measures will natu-rally improve. So on Thursday, it said essen-tially that it needs more time before finalizinga decision.

What the Federal Reserve wants to see before raising rates

EPA says VW intentionallyviolates clean air standards

WASHINGTON — The EnvironmentalProtection Agency on Friday orderedVolkswagen to fix nearly 500,000 VW andAudi diesel cars that the agency said are inten-tionally violating clean air laws by using soft-ware that evades EPA emissions standards.

VW, which owns Audi, faces billions of dollars in fines, although exact amounts werenot determined.

The cars, all built in the last seven years,include a device programmed to detect whenthey are undergoing official emissions testing,the EPA said, adding that the cars only turn onfull emissions control systems during thattesting. The controls are turned off during nor-mal driving situations, the EPA said.

The EPA called the company’s use of thedevice illegal and a threat to public health.

The EPA called on VW to fix the cars’ emis-sions systems, but said car owners do not needto take any immediate action. The violationsdo not present a safety hazard and the carsremain legal to drive and sell, the EPA said.

The German automaker said in a statementit is cooperating with the investigation, butdeclined further comment.

The EPA said VW faces fines of up to$37,500 per vehicle for the violations — atotal of more than $18 billion.

It remains unclear, however, whether the

used unfair labor practices in its support of akey worker who organized the campaign

against the United Farm Workers.

The farmworkers’ votes remain locked upand uncounted amid the dispute.

The decision says a Gerawan employee,Silvia Lopez, unlawfully asked for andreceived $20,000 from a fruit growers associ-ation affiliated with Gerawan to fund the anti-union fight. It says that on one day, Lopezphysically blocked workers from the farm tocollect roughly 1,000 signatures calling for avote to reject the UFW, and Gerawan unfairlygranted Lopez time off work to lead the effort.

Gerawan also made a “well-timed” wageincrease to win the favor of workers,Administrative Law Judge Mark Soble said,

citing evidence he considered to dismiss thepetition that sought the vote.

“The misconduct created an environmentwhich would have made it impossible for trueemployee free choice when it came time tovote,” Soble’s ruling concludes.

Dan Gerawan, who runs the family businessin Fresno County, said in a statement that hisworkers are being denied their democraticrights by leaving the ballots uncounted.

Labor relations in agriculture are oftenhighly contentious, said Philip Martin, profes-sor emeritus of agricultural and resource eco-nomics at University of California, Davis, andthe feud between the UFW and GerawanFarming started more than two decades ago.

“Clearly, this illustrates the difficulty of

negotiating agreements in agriculture,”Martin said.

It has been over 30 years since the highschool athletics career of El Camino foot-ball head coach Eric Jacobson began.

Since he arrived on campus as a freshmanin 1984, he has run the El Camino gamut.As a three-sport athlete, he helped both thebaseball and basketball teams reach theCentral Coast Section p layoffs; and in 198 8he received the Blanket Award as ElCamino’s male athlete of the year. Eight

years after returning tothe school as a coach, heled the 1999 Colts foot-ball team to its firstpostseason appearancein over a quarter of a cen-tury.

Now in his secondstint as head coach — hetook over midwaythrough non-league play

last s eason in the wake of the sudden firingof fifth-y ear coach Mark Turner — Jacob son

has manned the sideline for the Colts for th elast nine games, eight last season and thisyear’s opener at Aragon.

As it stands, that Sept. 11 rout at thehands of the Dons will be the last Jacobsonworks the sidelines, at least for a while.

A longtime sufferer of a rare genetic b onedisorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease,Jacobson will readjust his p osition as headcoach due to the pain and fatigue experi-enced in this year’s opener, it wasannounced Monday. While he will stillserve as head coach, he will n ow work from

the press box, distributing his coachingorders via a headset.

Third-year assist ant coach Marcus Ro manwill receive the defensive plays, timeoutsand other details from Jacobson and relaythem to the field. Assistant coach ArchieJunio, the Colts offensive coordinator, willcontinue to call the offensive plays fromthe sideline.

“I am still the head coach,” Jacobsonsaid. “I’m just not on the field.”

The “Redwood City Rumble” is an earlycontender for game of th e year.

Actually, we have a winner.Woodside (3-0) pulled off a major upset

with a 33-32 overtime win over rivalSequoia (1-2). While the Wildcats wildlycelebrated their second consecutive win inthe annual matchup, they almost let it slipaway.

“I’m all banged up,” Woodside head coach

Justin Andrews said. “I feel like I pl ayed thewhole game.”

The first half saw a dominant Woodsideperformance. The Wildcats too k a 2 6-0 leadinto halftime. But Sequoia respo nded with a26-point comeback in the second half. Butwith a dominant rushing performance bySequoia — the Cherokees outgained theWildcats 320-140 on the ground — thegame came down to special t eams.

Sequoia missed two consecutive extra-point attempts after each of its first twotouchdowns. Then, after a miraculous come-back that saw senior fullback Faavae Browntake a 6-yard touchdown reception to thehouse to tie it 26 -26 with 40 second remain-ing in regulation, the Cherokees made theunorthodox decision to attempt a two-pointconversion.

Woodside stopped that conversionattempt cold — an off-tackle attempt toBrown that was met by Woodside middlelinebacker Sion e Halaapiapi to all but forceovertime.

“That’s ballgame,” Sequoia head coachRob Poulos said. “Take your pick. That’s 3to 6 poin ts o ff the board. You can’t havethat.”

Overtime proved a microcosm of theentirety of regulation. With overtime rulesdictating each team starts from the opposi-tion’s 10-yard line and trading possessionsuntil there is a winner, Woodside was award-ed the first possession.

Peninsula Athletic League teams have notbeen kind to Galileo-SF this season.

First came opening week when visitingJefferson marched to a 38-0 victory. But at leastGalileo actually got to play that game.

Still looking for its first win, Galileo showedup at Mills Friday for a scheduled 3:15 p .m. var-sity kickoff. Only, Mills wasn’t there. TheVikings were anticipating a Saturday game. The

two teams rescheduled for Saturday, with thevarsity game slated for a 2 p.m. kickoff.

The miscommunication between Galileo headcoach Mark Huynh and Mills head coach MikeKrieger originated from an exchange of textmessages earlier this year, when the teams wereorganizing their respective non-league sched-ules.

Huynh has the text on h is phone from Kriegerthat says: “I would like to host Galileo varsityon Friday at 3:15 p.m.” Huynh responded witha confirmation text.

“Somehow we were not on the same page,”Krieger said. “We’re the host school. It’s prob-ably on me.”

Ironically, Huynh said he initially wanted toplay the game on Saturday due to a frosh-sophscheduling conflict. Krieger originally request-ed to play the varsity game on Friday afternoon,with the frosh-soph game preceding it Thursdayafternoon. However, Galileo’s frosh-soph teamhad scheduled a Saturday game for Week 2 onSept. 12 against De Anza-El Sobrante, whichdid not allow for the requisite five days off

between games, according to Huynh.As it turns out, Galileo’s frosh-soph team did-

n’t play Sept. 12, as De Anza frosh-soph ulti-mately forfeited the game. Galileo’s varsityteam lost to De Anza 43-0.

“It’s just one of those seasons,” Huynh said.“We haven’t scored yet either.”

Following a pair of easy wins to start the sea-son, the San Mateo football team took a bigstep up in competition when it hosted MountainView in the Bearcats’ home opener Friday night.

And while the Spartans came away with a 27-14 victory, San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller wassatisfied with the way his team rallied in the sec-ond half. Down 20-0 at halftime, San Mateoscored twice to cut the Mountain View lead to 20-14 with just over five minutes to play.

The Spartans, who had been stymied by theBearcats defense the entire second half, finally

found a rhthym. They drove 80 yards for thegame-clinching score with just over a minute toplay.

“We’re preparing for the Lake (Division),”Scheller said. “We’re trying to win the divis ion.A team like Mountain View … is a big test forus.”

San Mateo (2-1 overall) failed the first-half test miserably. The Bearcats could not get any-thing going offensively in the first two quarteras they finished with just 36 yards of offense and

just two first downs. The defense wasn’t muchbetter as Mountain View (2-1) scored on three of its five first-half possessions.

Not even the Bearcats’ special teams couldmake anything good happen as that unit hadpunts of 18 and 14 yards.

“We just couldn’t find a rhythm,” Schellersaid. “Our special teams didn’t help and our

offense didn’t help our defense with three-and-outs.”

In the second half, it appeared the teamschanged uniforms. Suddenly, it was San Mateothat couldn’t be stopped, while Mountain Viewstruggled to put anything together offensively.

“They’re a big, physical team. They took it tous (in the first half),” Scheller said. “We (the SanMateo coaching staff) took it to them (the team)at half.

“We were proud of the way we played in thesecond half.”

San Mateo amassed 145 yards of offense overthe final two quarters, with quarterback AustinSalvail throwing for 87 yards and a touchdown.Running back Anderson Perdomo, who had 18

DALLAS — A Texas high school footballcoach directed two players to s trike a referee dur-ing a game because of missed calls that had hurtthe team, the players claimed Friday during anational broadcast.

During an appearance on ABC’s “GoodMorning, America,” Michael Moreno andVictor Rojas also repeated earlier claims that theref had used racial slurs.

Moreno said he regrets hitting Robert Wattsand wants to apologize. Rojas said he was justdoing what he was told.

The two were suspended from the Jay High

School football team in San Antonio in theaftermath of the game early this month atMarble Falls. The Northside school districtmoved them to an alternative school as investi-gations in to the matter continue.

Video from the Sept. 4 game shows Rojasblindsiding Watts and Moreno diving on top of

him. Watts was the umpire on the defensive sidewatching a play along the line of scrimmage.The players didn’t name the coach Friday. The

school district has suspended assistant coachMack Breed pending an investigation.Attempts to find a phone number to contactBreed for comment were unsuccessful.

Rojas alleged that Watts at one point told a

Hispanic player to “speak English, this isAmerica.” The soft-spoken Rojas said he could-n’t explain why he targeted Watts, only sayinghe was following instructions.

Moreno contends the ref used a racial slurdirected at a black player. The teenager also saidat the last moment he realized the gravity of

what he was about to do and softened his blowon Watts.“That’s not who I am,” he said. “Underneath

the helmet and the pads, I’m really a great kid.”Watts has denied using inappropriate lan-

guage.His attorney, New Jersey lawyer Alan

Goldberger, told the Associated Press on Friday

that the game video shows a crime was commit-ted against Watts and now the perpetrators areblaming the victim for their actions.

“He didn’t say hurtful things to anybody andhe certainly didn’t say racial epithets,”Goldberger said, adding that civil action isbeing considered.

Watts has officiated hundreds of footballgames over 14 years, but has stepped asidebecause he’s now under a doctor’s care forinjuries inflicted by the players, Goldbergersaid.

“It’s so typical that these accusations aremade,” he said. “It’s always the referees fault.”

innings before loading the bases with two outs in the sixth.Reliever Andrew Chafin retired Brandon Belt on a grounder toend the threat.

Brad Ziegler pitched the ninth for his 27th save.The win preserved the Diamondbacks’ slim playoff hopes,
