Evacuees flee homes
Some not sure of the whereabouts of loved ones

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Families fleeing a fire that destroyed several
blocks of homes in San Bruno last night descended
on the Bayhill Shopping Center to a makeshift
evacuation center set up by the county Sheriff’s
Office, many not sure where they would spend the
night.
Others, however, remained as close as they could
to their homes to see if they could be saved.

A catastrophic fire fueled by a
broken 16- to 24-inch PG&E gas
line ripped through a San Bruno
neighborhood last night, destroying
53 homes and damaging 120 with a
wide swath of towering flames, crit-
ically burning residents and causing
massive evacuations.
San Mateo County Coroner
Robert Foucrault said there were
two fatalities confirmed and at least
four people were rushed to local
burn centers in critical condition. A
tremendous effort went into contain-
ing the blaze that sent flames as high
as 60 feet into the air as they jumped
from house to house incinerating
everything in its path. Firefighters
from across the county and federal
and state emergency officials
descended on the scene to stop the
horrific inferno and save what was
still standing and ensure the safety
of fearful residents. At one point,
entire blocks of homes were
engulfed in flames and the firefight-
ing effort was hindered by a lack of
water since the gas line blew out out
the water line.
City officials were suddenly put
into triage mode and said the fire
and its destruction was devastating.
“We know these people. They are
friends of ours,” said San Bruno
Councilman Ken Ibarra.
Ibarra said there are at least five
families he knows personally in the
area whose houses, he had no doubt,
were gone. Their whereabouts, and
well-being, were unknown to Ibarra.
Ibarra was in lower San Bruno
when he heard what was a loud
noise, distinctly different from that
of an airplane taking off.
“We looked. It was loud enough
that we knew where to look. Within

Accepting Rachel’s Challenge
Mills High School students work toward boosting kindness
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
April 20, 1999 was the first spring day —
prompting 17-year-old Rachel Scott to enjoy
her lunch outside at her Littleton, Colo. high
school.
Scott would be the first of 13 people killed
by two other students in an infamous school
shooting now synonymous with the school’s
name, Columbine. But Scott’s life was what
her father hoped people would focus on. Her
death revealed to the family their daughter’s
impact by simple acts of kindness. Words
written in six journals combined with out-
pouring of calls, e-mails and letters from those
touched resulted in the creation of a nonprofit
called Rachel’s Challenge, which asks people
to make positive cultural changes in their
world. Yesterday, the Mills High School com-
munity — parents, teachers and students —
were introduced to her challenge and began
starting a club, Friends of Rachel, to make
such changes on campus.
Rob Lykins from Rachel’s Challenge intro-
duced Mills to Columbine with news footage
and finally to Rachel’s brother Craig, who not
only lost his sister that day but was in the
library. The library is known for being the
deadliest part of the Columbine massacre.
Craig was next to two boys, his friends, who
were killed.
A gun was in Craig’s face, but the fire alarm

went off and distracted the
gunmen who ultimately
left and never returned to
the library, Lykins said.
Interestingly, the stu-
dents at Mills were not
directly familiar with
Columbine or its effects.
They were all under 10
Rachel Scott years old when two sen-
iors, Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold, began what is today the
fourth-deadliest school massacre in the United
States history. Twelve students and one
teacher were killed and over 20 wounded.
Harris and Klebold killed themselves.
Some effects were security based. Schools
began taking part in drills for an on-camus
invader, more security cameras have been
installed and locally, many schools have what
are now referred to as “Columbine locks,”
door locks which allow a teacher to lock the
door from the inside of a classroom.
Those impacts have long been in place for
the current student body and therefore do not
stand out as anything other than common.
Junior Rachel Kawawaki learned some facts
about the shooting through a recent history
assignment, but was surprised by the video
which showed more than just the killings but
talked about families struggling to find out
who had survived.

during a conference last year at which Rachel
Scott’s father spoke.
Mayer found herself crying during the pres-
entation. Although Mills has a positive overall
environment, Mayer thought the community
as a whole could still benefit from the presen-
tation and signed the school up.
The message has five major points: look for
the best in others to alleviate prejudice; dare to
dream; choose positive influences; embrace
small, random acts of kindness; and tell those
around you what they mean to you.
“People will never know how far a little
kindness can go,” Lykins said reading words
written by Scott.
Mills students were more influenced than
they had anticipated.
Fifteen-year-old Jensen Li wasn’t sure
about the program going into it.
“It moved me. There are not a lot of things
that can touch my heart but it affected me,” he
said.
Kawawaki was surprised by how in-depth
Scott’s writings before her death were.

ful when choosing words and have a stronger
self awareness about their actions as a result

Local biotech company gets fed cash infusion M-A educator named
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Using computers to create solutions to
bioterrrorism more quickly is an idea
from San Bruno-based Numerate in
which the U.S. government is investing
up to $6.75 million over the next three
years.
Yesterday, the biotech company
focused on changing the process of cre-
ating medical drugs announced a three-
year contract with the Department of
Defense through its Transformational
Medical Technologies worth up to $6.75
million. Under the contract, the compa-
ny would apply its methods of using
computers to speed up the traditional
research and development portion of
drug development while hopefully low-
ering costs. Doing so could result in
developing prescriptions to fight possi-
ble immune-challenging outbreaks.
“The average American is probably
wondering how this will affect them. In
the short-term, unless you are a soldier,
it probably won’t. In the long term, the
cost of health care should go down with
Numerate’s quicker, safer way to create
drugs,” said U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-

The three-year-old company was
awarded the contract through the
Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the
U.S. Department of Defense’s combat
support agency for countering weapons
of mass destruction, according to its
website. It works with a spectrum of
threats including chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear and high-yield

Teacher of the Year
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Menlo-Atherton High School’s Rachel Andres, a math
teacher, was named the San Mateo County Teacher of the Year
for 2011 yesterday.
“Ms. Andres’ excellence as a classroom
teacher, her commitment to eradicating the
achievement gap and her dedication to
helping underrepresented groups of stu-
dents enroll in college were key factors in
her selection,” county Superintendent of
Schools Anne Campbell said in a prepared
statement.
Andres earned her bachelor’s degree Rachel Andres
with a double major in mathematics and
secondary education from Lake Forrest College in Illinois.
After teaching math for four years at Winthrop High School in
Massachusetts, she moved to the Bay Area in 2005 and accept-
ed her current position at Menlo-Atherton High School where
she teaches geometry and other math classes.
Andres describes her approach to teaching as being based on
establishing positive relationships with all students and then
providing them with rigorous instruction that is tailored to their
unique needs and strengths.
Andres also serves as Menlo-Atherton High School’s coor-
dinator of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID),
an established program that prepares students in the academic
middle for four-year college eligibility, including many who
are the first in their families to go to college.

School Program honors

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE The schools have demonstrated
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. — Former

Four Bay Area schools — includ-
ing Nueva School in Hillsborough
— were honored Thursday for pro-
viding an above-average education
to underprivileged students, accord-
ing to California Superintendent of
Public Instruction Jack O’Connell.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne
Duncan released a list of 21
California schools, four of them in
the Bay Area, that have demonstrat-
ed dramatic growth in achievement
among substantial numbers of finan-
cially disadvantaged students.
The Blue Ribbon Schools

mentary and secondary schools
nationwide this year, represents
schools that serve financially disad-
vantaged students numbering 48 to
100 percent of schools’ student pop-
ulations.
considerable progress in English-
language arts and mathematics since
2005, according to a statement from
O’Connell’s office. They were nom-
inated in 2009, but had to pass spe-
cific targets of achievement to be
certified by the program this year.
Among hundreds of schools,
Lincoln Elementary in Oakland,
Two Rock Elementary in Sonoma
County, KIPP Heartwood Academy
in San Jose and Nueva School in
Hillsborough were all honored by
Blue Ribbon Schools. Nueva previ-
ously received the honor in 1987-88
and 1996-97.
“It’s the efforts of our teachers
and staff that make this all possible,”
said a statement on the Nueva
School website. “This award is sim-
ply a visible acknowledgement of
the important work that happens
each and every day.”
first lady Laura Bush will speak at a
National Park Foundation fundraiser
in Pittsburgh on Friday, a day before
joining Michelle Obama in rural
Pennsylvania to remember the vic-
tims of Flight 93, which crashed there
in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Bush’s appearance is part of a
wider effort to raise money for the
memorial to the 40 passengers and
crew who died after they fought back
against their hijackers.
Just $40 million of the $58 million
needed for the memorial has been
raised, and the first phase of the proj-
ect is scheduled to be dedicated in
time for the 10th anniversary of the
attacks next year.
A memorial plaza is under con-
struction in these rolling hills, part of
a long-awaited 2,200-acre national
park that will eventually honor the
victims. The finished memorial will
include a 93-foot tower at the
wind chimes for
each of the vic-
tims and a grove
of trees.
The project’s
planners say they
hope Bush’s and
Obama’s efforts
help bring atten-
Laura Bush tion and much-
needed cash to
the project.
“In a world where there’s so much
politics, one thing we have always
found is that our story and our efforts
resonate across the board. And this is
just one more indication of that,” said
Gordon Felt, the president of the
Families of Flight 93, whose brother
died aboard the flight.
Patrick White, whose cousin, Louis
“Joey” Nacke II, died in the crash,
called donating to the memorial “a
patriotic thing to do.”
“This is America’s memorial, cer-
tainly primarily to the 40 heroes of
Flight 93, but indirectly to the events
More than 1.2 million people have
visited the temporary memorial since
the crash. Planners predict that about
250,000 people will visit the perma-
nent memorial each year.
The park foundation has recently
stepped up its efforts to raise money,
including a new public service cam-
paign encouraging people to make a
$10 donation by texting the word
MEMORIAL to 90999, or to con-
tribute online at www.honor-
flight93.org. Flight 93 was en route
from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco
when hijackers seized control and
diverted it toward Washington, D.C.
But the passengers fought back and
the hijackers responded by crashing
the plane about 60 miles southwest of
Pittsburgh.
It’s imperative to honor the victims,
said David Beamer, whose son Todd
was believed to have led the revolt
with the words “Let’s roll.” He said
some textbooks only casually refer-
ence Flight 93 as the fourth plane to
crash on Sept. 11, with no details.

Fears of a second recession ease
By Martin Crutsinger
and Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — No, the economy isn’t
roaring ahead. And no, companies aren’t mak-
ing lots of job offers. But a fresh batch of eco-
nomic data Thursday at least eased summer-
time fears that the economy might be on the
brink of another recession.
Far fewer people applied for unemployment
aid last week, suggesting layoffs are easing. And
the nation’s trade deficit narrowed in July, thanks
to a bigger appetite overseas for American
exports.
Other recent data support the notion that the
economy, while growing only fitfully, is at least
not in danger of stalling:
• Hiring by private companies over the sum-
mer turned out to be better than expected. The
pace still isn’t enough to bring down high unem-
ployment, but it indicates economic expansion.
• Stock prices have staged a September rally
and put the Dow Jones industrial average back
about even for 2010. Stocks posted their sixth
gain in the past seven days Thursday, a sign of
rising investor confidence.
• Drivers are benefiting from lower gas prices,
which are expected to keep falling because the
summer driving season has ended with plentiful
supplies in storage.
• Shoppers are enjoying discounted prices in
stores and have helped lift retail sales. Analysts
think stores will continue to discount to get
shoppers to spend this fall and for the holiday
season.
Analysts say they think the economy will
continue to plod along in the coming months.
CDC: Adults eating less fruit, not enough veggies
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — An apple a day? Apparently
not in the United States.
Most Americans still don’t eat vegetables
often enough, and fruit consumption is actu-

government report released Thursday.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention found that last year about one-

A man looks over employment opportunities at a jobs center in San Francisco.
The economy will grow, though too weakly to
create many jobs for the nearly 15 million
unemployed Americans.
“At the moment, we can rule out a double-
dip for the economy,” Chris Rupkey, chief
economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, said
Thursday. “Things look better than they have
in several weeks, and there is no danger of a
new downturn in activity.”
The last time the nation suffered something
like a double-dip recession was in 1980 and
1981. That period met a generally accepted

That’s down slightly from more than 34

Only about 26 percent ate vegetables three

statistics come from a national telephone
survey of hundreds of thousands of

The second recession back then, from July
1981 to November 1982, was a severe one. But
it ushered in a period of explosive growth start-
ing in 1983.
This time, few economists foresee a similar
bust-boom-bust cycle. Rather, they expect a
continuation of the steady but low-grade
rebound from the recession, which began in
December 2007 and is thought to have ended
last year.

most fruit and Tennessee was best with veg-
etables. Oklahoma was at the bottom for fruit
and South Dakota had the lowest vegetable
consumption.
The report did not ask people which fruit
and vegetables they ate the most. But a CDC
study published last year concluded that
orange juice is the top source of fruit among
U.S. adults and adolescents, and potatoes are
the favorite vegetable.

Defense: Deal discussed
in Detroit plane attack
DETROIT — Lawyers for a Nigerian man
charged with trying to blow up a plane near
Detroit on Christmas said Thursday they’ve
talked to prosecutors about resolving the case
with a deal.
The disclosure was made in a court filing
that seeks a new deadline to challenge evi-
dence against Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
The deadline to file motions is Friday.
Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to set
off a bomb hidden in his underwear aboard a
flight from Amsterdam to Detroit last year
with nearly 300 people aboard. He’s due in
federal court Monday for a pretrial hearing.
In the court filing, defense lawyers said
they’ve met with prosecutors on “multiple
occasions, by phone and in person, to explore
options for resolution of this case.”
Embryonic stem cell
funding allowed — for now
WASHINGTON — The government may
resume funding of embryonic stem cell
research for now, an appeals court said
Thursday, but the short-term approval may be
of little help to research scientists caught in a
legal battle that has just begun.
It is far from certain that scientists actually
will continue to get federal money as they
struggle to decide what to do with research
that is hard to start and stop.
After U.S. District Court Judge Royce
Lamberth issued a preliminary order barring
the funding on Aug. 23, the National
Institutes of Health suspended work on fund-
ing new research projects on embryonic stem
cells. While NIH didn’t immediately com-
ment Thursday on the temporary stay from
the appeals court, the government’s process
for approving these grants is unlikely to
resume before a final court resolution.

almost met by fighter jets
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military
almost launched fighter jets and discussed a
possible shoot-down when an errant Navy
drone briefly veered into restricted airspace
near the nation’s capital last month, a senior
military official said Thursday.
The incident underscores safety concerns
with unmanned aircraft as defense officials
campaign to use them more often during nat-
ural disasters and for homeland security.

Iran to free female American
to mark the end of Ramadan
By Nasser Katimi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Thursday it will
free Sarah Shourd, one of three Americans
jailed for more than 13 months, as an act of
clemency to mark the end of the Islamic holy
month of Ramadan.
The imprisonment of the Americans has
deepened tensions between the U.S. and Iran,
a relationship already strained over
Washington’s suspicions that Tehran is trying
to manufacture nuclear weapons — some-
thing Iran denies.
Bak Sahraei, the second counselor of Iran’s
UN mission, sent an e-mail confirming the
release of Shourd, following up an earlier text
message from the Culture Ministry telling
reporters them to come to a Tehran hotel on
Saturday morning to witness the release.
The site is the same one where the three
were allowed the only meeting with their
mothers since they were detained in July
2009.
Iran claims they illegally crossed the border
from Iraq’s northern Kurdish region and had
threatened to put the three on trial for spying.
Their families say they were hiking in the
largely peaceful region of Iraq and that if they
crossed the border, it was accidental.
“Offering congratulations on Eid al-Fitr,”
the ministry text message said, referring to the
feast that marks the end of Ramadan.
“The release of one of the detained
Americans will be Saturday at 9 a.m. at the
Estaghlal hotel.”
The gesture could be a calculated move by
NATION/WORLD
Iran to soften international
criticism of its judiciary.
Iran has faced a growing
storm of protest over a
stoning sentence for a
woman convicted of adul-
tery that has been tem-
porarily suspended.
Iranian President
Sarah Shourd Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
has in the past proposed
swapping the three for Iranians he says are
jailed in the U.S., raising fears that the
Americans are being held as bargaining chips.
There was no word on the fate of the other
two Americans, Josh Fattal, 28 and Shane
Bauer, 28, to whom she got engaged to while
they were in prison.
Releasing prisoners and showing clemency
is a common practice in the Muslim world
during the fasting month of Ramadan. Iran’s
official IRNA news agency said Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has already
pardoned a group of prisoners for Eid al-Fitr.
The report gave no number of the freed
inmates and did not say whether they also
included the American.
Shourd, 31, had told her mother she has
serious medical problems.
Nora Shourd, said her daughter told her in a
telephone call in August that prison officials
have denied her requests for medical treat-
ment. The mother said they talked about her
daughter’s medical problems, including a
breast lump and precancerous cervical cells,
and her solitary confinement in Tehran’s Evin
prison.
Florida pastor cancels Quran
burning and then reconsiders
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — An anti-Islamic
preacher backed off and then threatened to
reconsider burning the Quran on the anniver-
sary of the 9/11 attacks, angrily accusing a
Muslim leader of lying to him Thursday with
a promise to move an Islamic center and
mosque away from New York’s ground zero.
The imam planning the center denied there
was ever such a deal.
The Rev. Terry Jones generated an interna-
tional firestorm with his plan to burn the
Quran on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and he
has been under intense pressure to give it up.
President Barack Obama urged him to listen
to “those better angels” and give up his
“stunt,” saying it would endanger U.S. troops
and give Islamic terrorists a recruiting tool.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the
extraordinary step of calling Jones personal-
ly.
Standing outside his 50-member
Pentecostal church, the Dove Outreach
Center, alongside Imam Muhammad Musri,
the president of the Islamic Society of
Central Florida, Jones said he relented when
Musri assured him that the New York mosque
will be moved.
Suicide car bombing in
southern Russia kills 17
ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia — Russian
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin blamed
extremists “without souls, without hearts” for
a suicide car bombing that killed 17 people
Thursday in the crowded central market of a
city in the North Caucasus.
It was the fourth terrorist attack at the mar-
ket in a decade, and while no one claimed
responsibility, the Kremlin has been trying to
contain Islamic militancy in the mountainous
southern region of Russia.
Nearly 140 were wounded in the bombing
in Vladikavkaz, the capital of North Ossetia,
with about a half-dozen hospitalized in very
serious condition.
Putin met with Russia’s top Muslim cleric
after the blast and said Russia’s estimated 20
million Muslims should play a key role in
eradicating Islamic extremism in the nation.
“The crimes like the one that was commit-
ted in the North Caucasus today are aimed at
sowing enmity between our citizens. We
mustn’t allow this,” Putin said in televised
remarks at the meeting.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Musri, however, said
after the news conference
that the agreement was
only for him and Jones to
travel to New York and
meet Saturday with the
imam overseeing plans to
build a mosque near
ground zero.
Terry Jones Hours later, Jones said
Musri “clearly, clearly
lied to us.”
“Given what we are now hearing, we are
forced to rethink our decision,” Jones said.
“So as of right now, we are not canceling the
event, but we are suspending it.”
Jones did not say whether the Quran burn-
ing could still be held Saturday, but he said
he expected Musri to keep his word and
expected “the imam in New York to back up
one of his own men.”
Jones had never invoked the mosque con-
troversy as a reason for his planned protest.
He cited his belief that the Quran is evil
because it espouses something other than
biblical truth and incites radical, violent
behavior among Muslims.
But he said Thursday afternoon that he
prayed about the decision and concluded that
if the mosque was moved, it would be a sign
from God to call off the Quran burning.
Around the world
The bomber drove to the market’s main
entrance and detonated the explosives, the
Emergency Situations Ministry said.
Bombers hit Somali
airport, killing nine others
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A suicide car
bomber exploded at the gate to Mogadishu’s
airport Thursday, and suicide bombers in a
second vehicle rushed toward the terminal
before exploding themselves short of their
goal, officials said. Up to 14 people were
killed, including five attackers.
The coordinated assault by al-Shabab fight-
ers was the latest in a surge of attacks by
Islamist insurgents, who last month declared a
new, stepped-up effort to oust the country’s
weak government. The barrage took place
about 40 minutes after Somalia’s president
flew out of the country.
The Somali government and the 7,000-man
African Union force that protects Somalia’s
weak government gave slightly differing
accounts of the attack, though they agreed on
the broad outlines.

Arnott for treasurer/tax collector
D
o voters want a county
treasurer/tax collector
who has spent 20 years in
the office or new leadership who
will have a steep learning curve for
a multi-faceted and complicated
office? That appears to be the
question regarding two candidates
vying for the job after current
office holder Lee Buffington
announced he would not be seek-
ing re-election.
Another key to the race between
Acting Treasurer/Tax Collector
Sandie Arnott and Dave
Mandelkern, trustee on the San
Mateo County Community College
District board, seems to be the
county investment fund’s $155
million loss because of the
Lehman Brothers collapse in
November 2008.
The two are facing off against
each other after a bruising battle in
June between them and two other
candidates, Joe Galligan and
Richard Guilbault. Both Galligan
and Guilbault fell to third and
fourth place with neither Arnott
and Mandelkern able to break the
50 percent margin for a clear vic-
tory — thus leading to the current
Editorial
‘Arnott has the experience, the know-how
and the ability to learn from mistakes that will
make her an effective manager of the office ...’
run-off between the two.
Of the two, Arnott seems to have
a more realistic view of the office
and its duties — which makes
sense since she has worked there
for so long. The former deputy
treasurer/tax collector took on the
acting treasurer/tax collector role
this summer because of
Buffington’s health issues and is
already implementing programs
like moving the South San
Francisco office so tax collection is
not affected by court closures or
furlough days and pushing for the
reinstatement of a program for sen-
ior citizens and the disabled to
defer property taxes.
She is also taking a sharp look at
the county’s investment fund
which seems to be the main issue
of the race, but has her hands tied
until after the election. And make
no mistake, whoever takes the
office will be under the watchful
OPINION
eye of the county’s leadership and
electorate to make sure such a dev-
astating loss is not repeated. The
Lehman loss and the overall deci-
mation of the stock market had a
deleterious effect for many across
the land and caution is now the
modus operandi for money man-
agers everywhere. San Mateo
County should prove to be no dif-
ferent though there were obvious
lessons learned in the need for bet-
ter communication between the
office and those who trusted it with
their funds. Arnott has learned that
lesson well and wants to improve
communication with a focus on
education in the area of invest-
ments, school bonds, tax collection
and banking trends. She is
amenable to setting up regular
meetings with stakeholders in an
effort to be accessible, transparent
and accountable.
As a newcomer candidate,
Mandelkern presents ideas like
assisting the medical center with
collections or sharing drug lab
duties or jail facilities with San
Francisco that aren’t necessarily
the purview of the office. As the
founder of multiple companies,
Mandelkern brings an entrepre-
neurial spirit to the discussion. As
a man dedicated to community
service, Mandelkern brings a sense
of civic duty as well but that does-
n’t make up for a lack of substan-
tial financial background needed
for someone pointing at the invest-
ment loss as a key flaw of those
currently in office. Thinking out of
the box is a worthwhile exercise
and community service should be
lauded, but there should be a keen
focus on the workings of the job to
be effective from day one. Arnott
has the experience, the know-how
and the ability to learn from mis-
takes that will make her an effec-
tive manager of the office with
multiple functions like tax collec-
tion, revenue services and manag-
ing the county’s investment pool
which involves money from more
than 1,000 accounts of cities, dis-
tricts and agencies. She deserves
your vote.

In defense of officers
Editor,
In response to Anne Silvers’ let-
ter about the officer involved shoot-
ing, she has no idea about all the
facts in this case (“Investigation

Aug. 23 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Not only does she have the facts
wrong, I wonder how the paper got
them so wrong. Irresponsibly writ-
n’t have the federal deficit. A PBS
Frontline documentary chronologi-
cally lists how the federal deficit
and the national debt ballooned
under Republican-controlled
Congress and White House (“Ten
Trillion and Counting,” PBS
Frontline). It is available freely on
the Internet for anyone to watch.
Historically, when a country is
engaged in a war, taxes are raised
to pay for the war. However, for-
mer president Bush chose to give a
tax cut after committing troops in
Afghanistan. A pharmaceutical
industry-lobbied bill he signed
called Medicare Part D was a new
entitlement program costing bil-
lions of dollars.
The Iraq invasion was another
mistake initiated by the Republican
administration under a false prem-
ise. Paygo was a spending control
that existed during the Clinton
administration to keep a lid on the
deficit spending. The Bush admin-
istration overthrew that protective

Stocks extend gains
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,248.90
NEW YORK — Stocks extended their
September rally Thursday following
more encouraging news on the job mar-
ket.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
28 points after the Labor Department
said first-time claims for unemployment
benefits fell last week to the lowest level
in two months. In another hopeful sign
on the economy, the trade deficit nar-
rowed in July.
Stocks pared their gains in the after-
noon after a report came out saying
Deutsche Bank is considering raising
new money through a stock sale in what
could be another troubling sign for
European banks. Trading volume was
very light.
The jobs report came in much better
than analysts had expected and added to
other positive signals on the economy,
including a pickup in job creation for
August reported last week. Treasury
prices and gold fell as investors found
themselves with more appetite for risk.
“The employment report is still the
king of kings,” said Edwin Denson, head

Apple’s guidelines for app approval
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Apple Inc. on
Thursday gave software developers the
guidelines it uses to determine which
programs can be sold in its App Store,
yet it reserved for itself broad leeway in
deciding what makes the cut.
The move follows more than two years
of complaints from developers about the
company’s secret and seemingly capri-
cious rules, which block some programs
from the store and hence Apple’s popular
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.
The guidelines go some way toward
addressing those complaints and broad-
ening the discussion about Apple’s custo-
dianship of the App Store.
Software developer Nate Weiner said
the approval process has always been “a
black hole.” A minor update to his Read

Hurd’s Oracle gig: Is Ellison perk or problem?
By Jordan Robertson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — As co-presi-
dent at Oracle Corp., ousted Hewlett-
Packard Co. CEO Mark Hurd will have
to adapt to a new role playing second
fiddle to one of Silicon Valley’s most
domineering bosses — Larry Ellison.
Although the two men have been pals
for several years, working together may
test their friendship given that they have
both been accustomed to being the top
dog. Ellison, in particular, has never left
any doubt who’s calling the shots at the
business software juggernaut that he co-
founded 33 years ago.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — A judge has ordered
Craigslist to reverse two moves it made
that hurt one of its biggest investors —
eBay.
The moves diluted eBay Inc.’s share of
the company, bought in 2004, and made
Wall Street
LLC. “The labor market is still the indi-
cator, that if it’s positive, would give
people the most comfort.”
Unemployment claims have still not
fallen enough to suggest that widespread
hiring is around the corner, but investors
have taken solace in recent employment
news that suggest the economy will con-
tinue to grow slowly during the rest of
the year. Traders concerned about the
potential for the economy to slide back
into recession drove stocks lower
through most of August.
“All we need is slightly good news ...
relative to expectations, and at this point
expectations are relatively poor,” said
Tyler Vernon, principal and portfolio
manager at Biltmore Capital Advisors.
Stocks have rallied since the begin-
ning of September on the improving out-
look for the economy, and have risen in
six out of the past seven days.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
28.23, or 0.3 percent, to close at
10,415.24. The Dow had risen as much
as 90 points earlier.

Apple publishes app guidelines
THE RULES: Apple Inc. is giving software developers the guidelines it uses to
determine which programs can be sold in its App Store.For example,it says it’ll

THE UNCERTAINTIES: Apple still reserves for itself broad leeway in deciding
what makes the cut.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The guidelines should be help developers, but they are
unlikely to end all complaints against Apple.

“If you submit an app, you have no
idea what’s going to happen,” he said.
“You have no idea when it’s going to be
approved or if it’s going to be approved.”
The guidelines should be a big help,
especially for novice developers, he said.
The rules consist of a long checklist,
specifying, for example, that “apps that
rapidly drain the device’s battery or gen-
erate excessive heat will be rejected.”
Also bound to be rejected are “apps con-
taining ’rental’ content or services that
expire after a limited time.”
But some of the guidelines leave much

is always a possibili-
ty of a personality

said Kaushik Roy, an
analyst with
Wedbush Securities.
“Friendships are not

Ray Lane, who had played an instru-
mental role in rebuilding Oracle’s sales
force after an accounting scandal. Lane
resigned after Ellison tightened his grip
on the company and stripped Lane of

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Toyota’s largest sedan sold in America, the
Avalon, shows up on some interesting lists.
It’s one of the 10 “most comfortable cars” in a
Kelley Blue Book ranking. At
Automotive.com, the Avalon is among the top
10 “cars for seniors,” and it’s one of the 10
“least expensive to insure” at Insweb.com.
Buyers of the 16.5-foot-long Avalon get a
roomy, full-size car with many luxury features
and appealing looks that were spruced up for
2011 by a new, shiny grille and higher rear
trunk lid. The Avalon is, as Kelley Blue Book
reports, eminently comfortable. At the same
time, it’s not ostentatious or overwhelming,
the way some luxury-branded sedans are.
It is, however, pricey.
Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for a base,
2011 Avalon is $33,205 with 268-horsepower
V-6 and automatic transmission.
Many other large, mainstream-branded
sedans have lower starting prices. For exam-
ple, the 2011 Ford Taurus, with 263-horse-
power V-6 and automatic transmission, has a
starting retail price of $25,995. Even a 2011
Taurus Limited with all-wheel drive is just
$34,445 to start. The Avalon is not offered
with all-wheel drive. The 2011 Buick Lucerne
has a $30,495 starting retail price, including
MSRP and destination charge. The Lucerne
comes with a 227-horsepower V-6 and auto-
matic transmission. And the 2011 Hyundai
Azera starts at $26,270 with 270-horsepower
V-6 and automatic transmission.
The test Avalon Limited topped out at more
than $38,000, which puts it amid many luxu-
ry-brand sedans. But finding a $38,000 luxury
car with the kind of spaciousness inside that
the Avalon has is nigh impossible. With 58.2
inches of shoulder room, the Avalon’s back
seat can honestly carry three adults without
much fuss. The legroom back there is nearly
41 inches and is just a tad shy of the 41.3 inch-
es of legroom available for long-legged driv-
ers in front.
This compares with 56.9 inches of shoulder
room and 38.1 inches of legroom in the back
seat of 2011 Ford Taurus. The Taurus is 5.4
inches longer, overall, than the Avalon. The
two cars are pretty similar in headroom.
For 2011, the Avalon is the first in the seg-
ment to have rear seats that recline, so both
legs and backs of passengers rest nicely.
I liked the seat cushions front and rear. They
weren’t overly firm, as in some European cars,
and they weren’t soft as pillows where you
might sink in too low. The Avalon cushions

Highway deaths fall to lowest level since 1950

By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Traffic deaths have
plummeted across the United States to levels
not seen in more than a half-century, spurred
by technology, safety-conscious drivers and
tougher enforcement of drunken driving laws.
The Transportation Department said
Thursday that traffic deaths fell 9.7 percent in
2009 to 33,808, the lowest number since 1950.
In 2008, an estimated 37,423 people died on
the highways.
Government and auto safety experts attrib-
uted the improvement to more people buckling
up, side air bags and anti-rollover technology
in more vehicles and a focus in many states on
curbing drinking and driving. Economic con-
ditions were also a factor.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood
called the new data “a landmark achievement
for public health and safety” but cautioned that
too many people are killed on the road each
year. “While we’ve come a long way,” he said,
“we have a long distance yet to travel.”
Forty-one states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico saw reductions in highway
fatalities, led by Florida with 422 fewer deaths
and Texas, down 405.
The rate of deaths per 100 million miles
traveled also dropped to a record low. It fell to
1.13 deaths per 100 million miles in 2009,
compared with 1.26 the year before.
Year-to-year declines in highway deaths
have occurred in previous economic down-
turns, when fewer people are out on the road.
Traffic deaths decreased in the early 1980s and
early 1990s when difficult economic condi-
tions led many drivers to cut back on discre-
tionary travel.
Last year’s reduction in fatalities came even
as the estimated number of miles traveled by
motorists in 2009 increased 0.2 percent over
2008 levels.
Barbara Harsha, executive director for the
Governors Highway Safety Association, said
the new data was “particularly encouraging
given that estimated vehicle miles traveled
actually increased slightly in 2009, thus expos-
ing the public to greater risk on our roadways.”
Other findings
The annual highway safety report also
found:
• Motorcycle fatalities broke a string of 11
years of annual increases, falling by 16
percent, from 5,312 in 2008 to 4,462 in
2009.
• The number of people injured in motor
vehicle crashes fell for a 10th consecutive
year.An estimated 2.2 million people were
injured in 2009,a 5.5 percent decline from
2.3 million in 2008.
• Alcohol-impaired driving deaths declined
7.4 percent in 2009 to 10,839 deaths,
compared with 11,711 in 2008. Alcohol-
impaired fatalities fell in 33 states and
Puerto Rico.
LaHood said the weak economy was a con-
tributing factor as many Americans chose not
to go out to bars and restaurants after work or
on the weekend.
But he said many motorists are more safety
conscious behind the wheel. About 85 percent
of Americans wear seat belts while benefiting
from safety advances found in today’s cars and
trucks.
Side air bags that protect the head and mid-
section are becoming standard equipment on
many new vehicles. Electronic stability con-
trol, which helps motorists avoid rollover
crashes, is more common on new cars and
trucks, while some luxury models have lane
departure warnings and other safety features.
Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which
represents General Motors, Toyota, Ford and
others, said the improvements were “the pay-
off from years of manufacturer-driven safety
improvements, like antilock brakes and elec-
tronic stability control systems” along with
efforts by law enforcement to keep the roads
safe.
LaHood, a former Illinois congressman, has
also sought to crack down on distracted driv-
ing, urging states to adopt stringent laws
against sending text messages from behind the
wheel, as well as other distractions.

Rivalry renewed E
Aragon has beaten San Mateo 11 straight times dating to 1997
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF Game of the Week
For the first time in recent memory, the San
Mateo High football team enters its game
against Aragon having won more games the
previous season.
One can make a case for the Bearcats hav-
ing the superior 2009 campaign, as they won
a PAL Ocean Division championship.
However, in the grand scheme of things, that
means nothing against Aragon because the
Dons have owned this intra city rivalry. The
Dons have won every game since the 1997
season, a span that encompasses 11 games
(since the Bearcats last won in ’96, the teams
have played every year with the exception of
the ’02 and ’97 seasons).
Once again, San Mateo gets its shot to end
the school’s long losing streak against its
neighbors to the south. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
tonight at Aragon, and it serves as the season
opener for both teams.
“Aragon still has that aura and mystique
about them,” Bearcats coach Jeff Scheller
said. “We know all about the losing streak. It’s
not a burden, but obviously we would love to
see it end.”
Of course, Dons coach Steve Sell would
like nothing more than to see Aragon’s mas-
tery over San Mateo continue.
“As you get older, the local stuff means
more and more to me,” Sell said. “The sec-
tional stuff is important, but for sheer pride
and excitement, you can’t beat these local
rivalry games.”
Since neither team has yet to play a game, it
only adds to the intrigue and drama of
tonight’s contest. Both coaches have a scout-
ing report of the other team; Scheller was in
the stands watching Aragon scrimmage Palo
Alto and Woodside and a couple of Aragon
assistant coaches filmed San Mateo’s scrim-
mage against Los Gatos. Still, one can only
learn so much from a scrimmage.
Here’s what we do know. Aragon is confi-
dent it will rebound from last year’s disap-
pointing 7-5 record and 2-3 mark in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, its
worst finish in league play in over a decade.
San Mateo, meanwhile, is coming off its best
season in years, finishing 8-4. However, when
the squads met last year, the Dons rolled to a
26-13 victory.
Aragon converted three of San Mateo’s four
turnovers into three touchdowns. The miscues
cost any chance the Bearcats had to win a

SAN DIEGO — Aubrey Huff and Buster
Posey each hit a two-run homer and Pat
Burrell and Juan Uribe also went yard as the
San Francisco Giants beat San Diego 7-3
Thursday night to pull within one game of the
NL West-leading Padres.
Matt Cain took a three-hitter into the ninth
in the opener of the four-game showdown
between the rivals, who also will meet in a
season-ending, three-game series at San
Francisco from Oct. 1-3. San Francisco is one
behind Atlanta in the wild-card race.
Cain (11-10) allowed David Eckstein’s
leadoff single in the ninth followed by Ryan
Ludwick’s homer to straightaway center, lead-

ing manager Bruce Bochy to turn to Javier
Lopez and Ramon Ramirez to finish. Cain
struck out eight and walked one.
It was the Giants’ third win in 12 games
against San Diego this season. The Giants
have two more losses than the Padres, who
have played two fewer games than San
Francisco.
San Francisco has won eight of 11 while the
Padres have lost 11 of 14. It was the 13th
straight game in which the Padres were held
to four or fewer runs.
Huff and Freddy Sanchez each had three
hits for the Giants. Jon Garland (13-11) took
his third straight loss. His previous two
defeats were during a 10-game Padres losing

streak that trimmed 5 1/2 games off their lead.
The Giants hit Garland early, often and
hard. He allowed three of the Giants’ homers
and Kevin Correia surrendered the fourth.
Andres Torres led off the game with a triple
to right-center and scored on Sanchez’s single
to left. Huff’s 24th homer was to the sand play
area beyond the fence in right-center in the
third. Sanchez was aboard on a one-out single.
Uribe also homered into the sand, on a 3-1
pitch with two outs in the fourth, for a 4-1
lead. It was his 20th. With Huff on after a two-
out double in the fifth, Posey drove a 1-0 pitch
into the second deck in left for his 12th homer.
Garland was booed as he walked off the
field after getting Jose Guillen to ground out.
He allowed six runs and eight hits in five
innings. Correia started the sixth and gave up

Airing it out
ven though running dominates high
school football games — for obvi-
ous reasons, one being that most
schools don’t have the timing, enough talent
or necessary playmakers to establish a
sophisticated passing attack to win consis-
tently — a number of squads from the
Peninsula Athletic League found favorable
results passing-wise in the opening week of
the season.
Two of the biggest games came from Terra
Nova quarterback Chris Forbes and Jefferson
signal caller Cheyenne Meafua. Forbes com-
pleted 30-of-48 passes
for 378 yards in a loss
to Sacred Heart
Cathedral, while
Meafua was 11 of 24
for 308 yards in a 32-
25 win over North
Salinas. Jefferson dis-
played quick-strike
capability, as Meafua
had touchdown throws
of 58 and 73 yards to
Myles Holmes and
Kyani Harris, respectively.
With tremendous athleticism and a strong
and accurate arm, Meafua and Co. is poised
to give opposing defenses fits in the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division.
The Indians moved up to the Ocean this year
despite finishing second to Hillsdale in the
lower-tier Lake last season. However,
Jefferson is out to prove it is a team in the
midst of a revitalization.
After undergoing several years of losing
seasons, the Indians finished 5-5 in 2009 and
is expected to better that mark this season. It
helps to have players like the 6-foot-1, 195-
pound Meafua, who possesses all the skills
and ability to make an offense go. Though
Jefferson’s offense is potent, its season will
hinge on how well it plays defensively.
The Indians haven’t had a winning season
since the ’01 season, when it finished 6-3
overall and 5-2 in the Ocean Division. In
’04, Jefferson went 4-3 in league play but
finished 4-6 overall.

ing its second annual 9-1-1 Police vs. Fire

game that some expected them to do. After all,
Aragon turned out to have a down year by its
typical lofty standards and San Mateo fielded
one of its best teams in several seasons.
“If there was a year we were vulnerable, it
was last year,” Sell said.
Leading up to the game, Scheller empha-
sized to his players about the importance of
limiting their mistakes, but they simply could-
n’t play error-free ball. Scheller is repeating
the same mantra entering tonight’s matchup.
“Our guys always get the good jitters when
they play Aragon,” he said. “Hopefully we
minimize the turnovers and mental mistakes.
(Last year’s game was our season opener and
Aragon’s second game) and I feel if we
would’ve played them later in the year, it
would’ve been a lot different game.”
Game will be won in the trenches
Whenever Aragon and San Mateo play, the
contest — just like any other football game —
comes down to brute strength among the line-
men. The scary thing about the Dons is their
linemen are bigger, faster and stronger from a
year ago, when they out-played their San
Mateo counterparts.
“We are definitely bigger up front, probably
by an average of 25 to 30 pounds a kid,” Sell
said. “I look at the film last year and our play-
ers were boys. They’re more like young men
now. It’s just a matter of mother nature doing
its thing along with a lot of weight training.
We’re going to look more like we’ve had in
the past, not as big as the 2003-04 teams but
more than able to hold our own up front.”
With the offensive line packing plenty of
SPORTS
potential, look for the Dons to do what they
couldn’t do for most of last season — run up
the middle. Sell found that trend particularly
disturbing, and can’t wait to see what happens
this year with an improved line and a number
of talented ball carriers to whom to hand off,
including halfback Moe Tau, tailback Aaron
Eder and fullbacks Sam Pacholuk and Victor
Jimenez.
“Aaron is going to be very exciting, Mo is a
truly gifted and dynamic offensive player and
Victor was fantastic in our scrimmage break-
ing tackles and making guys miss,” Sell said.
“So in that sense, Victor was kind of a revela-
tion.”
QB question answered
Sell said the team has received a big boost
with the development of Anthony Nichols,
who was battling Tau for the starting quarter-
back position before eventually taking control
of the spot and allowing Tau to play halfback,
making the team that much more dangerous
and diversified offensively.
“In a span of literally four days (in practice
early last week) Anthony improved by leaps
and bounds,” Sell said. “It was absolutely
amazing the way he was running and throw-
ing the ball. In our scrimmage, he was on the
money, so I’m very encouraged. What was a
concern is now, I think, a position of strength.
Anthony figured it out and now he’s the guy.”
Group held its own
Scheller had his own concerns at an impor-
tant position as summer practice started, start-
ing with the offensive line. But a number of
Scheller’s concerns were alleviated when his
linemen went head to head with Los Gatos,
one of the best programs in the section.
“I learned our offensive line is good getting
off the ball and that they were physical,”
Scheller said. “That’s a good thing because if
you have to try to drag the physicality part of
the game out of guys, it’s a challenge. But
they’re physical and now the thing they have
to learn is how to finish. That’s a good thing
because it’s fixable, whereas I think in lot of
cases you can’t teach a player to be physical.
They either have that attitude and toughness,
or they don’t.”
Like Aragon, look for San Mateo to estab-
lish the run game first. When you have a fan-
tastic four of George Naufahu, Lemoto
Filikitonga, Michael Latu and Gary Vimahi in
the back field, it’s no wonder the Bearcats will
look to ground and pound their opponents into
submission.
The aforementioned quartet all have the
ability to break tackles and gain huge chunks
of yardage on a moment’s notice. Having said
that, Scheller expressed optimism with his
team’s passing game, too. Scheller said quar-
terback Chris Zografos possesses an accurate
arm and should get the ball in the hands of
playmaking receivers R.J. Asuncion, Andrew
Ho and Larry Campbell. However, no matter
how much talent San Mateo has, Scheller
knows turnovers will be paramount.
“It’s something we’ve worked on a lot (lim-
iting turnovers), but when the time comes,
you don’t know if the kids are going to freak
out or remember exactly what we tell them,”
Scheller said.
Especially when there promises to be anoth-
er raucous atmosphere, as is typical when
these teams meet. The biggest question sur-
rounding tonight’s game has nothing to do
with X’s and O’s but is more mundane in
nature: How in the world is Aragon’s facility
going to accommodate the couple of thousand
of spectators who are expected to be in atten-
dance?
“How in the heck are we going to manage
this thing? We’ll find a way of working all the
logistics out,” Sell said. “It’s going to be a
special night for the entire community.”

Quote of the week: “San Mateo found out
what we found out for far too many years, that
playing Los Gatos early in the year is not a fair
fight. San Mateo made some nice plays but to
try to judge somebody on how they play vs.
Los Gatos early in the season is not an accurate
description of how good that team is going to
be because Los Gatos is way ahead of most
teams at this time of the year.”

reviewing film of San Mateo’s scrimmage with
powerhouse football program Los Gatos last
week.

Best Bets
Friday
Scotts Valley (0-1) at
Half Moon Bay (0-1),7 p.m.
Scotts Valley dropped at tough 14-7 deci-
sion to Amity-Oregon. The Cougars were
crushed by Homestead, 38-14.
This game is a big test for Half Moon Bay.
Scotts Valley is a perennial CCS power and
depending on how teams are broken up this
postseason, there is a chance they could face
each other again in the playoffs.
Against Homestead, Dominic Sena capped
a 60-yard drive with a 13-yard score.
Palo Alto (0-0) at Burlingame (0-0),7 p.m.
The Vikings were 7-2-2 overall in 2009 and
4-0-2 in the ultra-tough De Anza Division of
the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League. The
Panthers were 7-4 overall and 3-2 in PAL
Ocean Division play last season.
This matchup has become somewhat of a
tradition, as it marks the eighth season in a
row the two squads have faced off.
Burlingame won two of the first three meet-
ings, but Palo Alto has owned the series
recently, winning the last four matchups.
Terra Nova (0-1) at
Wilcox-Santa Clara (1-0),7 p.m.
Wilcox drilled Menlo-Atherton 34-20 to
open the season. The Tigers were outscored
42-28 in their opener against Sacred Heart
Cathedral.
There is no question the Tigers are a pass-
ing team after Chris Forbes threw for 378
yards last week. Terra Nova is playing one of
the toughest non-league schedules in the
county, which should more than prepare the
Tigers for the rigors of the PAL Bay Division
season.
The Chargers are one of the top teams in

CCS. They’ve been a CCS Medium School
finalist the previous two seasons.
Capuchino (0-0) at South City (1-0),7 p.m.
The Mustangs were 1-9 overall and winless
in division play in 2009. The Warriors slipped
past Santa Clara 13-12 to open the season last
week.
This will be the third year in a row these
teams have faced each other in non-league
play. South City has won the previous two
meetings, including a 20-0 victory last season.
The Warriors slipped past Santa Clara last
week when QB Brad Los bulled into the end
zone from a yard out with less than 10 sec-
onds to play.
Hillsdale (1-0) at Yerba Buena (0-1),7 p.m.
The Knights came away with a surprising
13-7 win over Menlo School last week. The
Aztec Warriors were pounded 39-0 in their
opener against Gunn.
Hillsdale’s Anthony Huni hauled in a 49-
yard scoring pass from QB Yanni Tsagarakis
for the game-winning score against Menlo.
After thinking a 1-1 start would be good,
Hillsdale suddenly has a chance to open the
season 2-0 against a Yerba Buena team that is
up and down from year to year.
The Knights will not overlook the Aztec
Warriors, however. In 2007, Yerba Buena beat
Hillsdale 26-14 after winning just three win
games over their previous two seasons.
Galileo-SF (1-0) at Sequoia (1-0),7 p.m.
The Lions feasted on Mills last week, win-
ning 41-20. The Cherokees blasted Branham
44-0.
Sequoia will have to deal with Galileo’s
potent ground attack. Quincy Nelson rushed
for a team high 217 yards and three TDs on 24
carries. QB Jon Lu gained 152 yards on 14
carries. As a team, the Lions rolled up 518
yards on the ground.
As much as the Sequoia offense deserves
kudos for putting up 44 points, the Cherokee
defense might have been even better, holding
Branham to just 150 yards of total offense.
Serra (0-1) at
Monte Vista-Danville (-0-0),7 p.m.
The Padres are coming off a 45-7 loss to
national power De La Salle-Concord. The
Mustangs finished the 2009 season at 9-4 —
two of those losses came to De La Salle in
East Bay Athletic League and North Coast
Section play.
No shame in Serra losing to a DLS squad
that hasn’t lost to a Northern California team
Friday • Sept. 10, 2010 15
since 1999, but the Padres have to get better to
have any chance of beating Monte Vista.
If not for DLS, Monte Vista might be the
Bay Area’s big dog. Year in and year out, the
Mustangs put together one of the best teams
in Northern California, and would have multi-
ple NCS titles if not for DLS. The Mustangs
are breaking in a new QB, as last year’s starter
Brett Nottingham — who passed for over
3,800 yards — is now at Stanford.
Saturday
Fresno City College (0-0) at
College of San Mateo (0-0),1 p.m.
No rest for the weary — or the defending
Northern California champion CSM. The
Bulldogs will get a big test against a Fresno
City that is, year in and year out, poised to
play for NorCal and state titles.
Los Gatos (0-0) at
Menlo-Atherton (0-1),2 p.m.
The Wildcats went 10-3 overall and 4-2 in
the De Anza Division of the Santa Clara
Valley Athletic League in 2009.
Menlo-Atherton’s schedule can be put up
against any other team in terms of toughness.
After opening with a 34-20 loss to Wilcox, the
Bears host another CCS titan in the Wildcats.
The Bears will have to improve on seven
turnovers if they expect to beat Los Gatos.
Riordan (0-1) at
Sacred Heart Prep (1-0),3 p.m.
The Crusaders were blasted by second-year
program Dougherty Valley-Dublin, 36-14.
The Gators bested San Lorenzo Valley 24-7.
Prep had one of the most balanced offensive
attacks in recent years against San Lorenzo
Valley. The Gators rushed for 203 yards on 52
carries, paced by Colin Terndrup’s 87 yards
on 20 carries. QB John Geary completed 14 of
21 passes for 174 yards.

The Rest
Friday
Los Altos (0-0) at Mills (0-1),2 p.m.
The Eagles went 6-4 overall and 5-1 in the El Camino
Division of the SCVAL. The Vikings were gashed by Galileo-
SF 41-20 to open the season.
Despite the loss, Mills did show some flashes of being a
decent offensive squad. QB Brandon Berkovatz completed 17
of 33 passes for 158 yards. He had a nice rapport with receiv-
er Kausher Singh, who made plays all over the field. He had
four catches for 77 yards, picked off a pass from his defensive
back position and also recovered an onside kick.
The bad news for the Vikings is, their defense needs to get
better in a hurry. They did a good job of bottling up Galileo’s
potent offense at times, but the Lions, time and again, killed
Mills with the big play. They rushed for 518 yards on 51 car-
ries.
Carmel (1-0) vs.Menlo School (0-1) at Woodside,7 p.m.
The Padres opened the season with a convincing 42-13 win
over St. Francis-Watsonville. The Knights are coming off a dis-
appointing 13-9 loss to Hillsdale.
Menlo’s Robert Wickers, in his first start as a varsity QB,
threw for 253 yards, completing 21 of 33 passes.
The Knights had their chances against Hillsdale last week,
but could not convert in the red zone.
Saturday
Jefferson (1-0) at San Marin-Novato (1-0),2 p.m.
The Indians opened with a 32-25 win over North Salinas.
The Mustangs began their season with a 41-7 win over
Lincoln-SF.
Jefferson was led by QB Cheyenne Meafua, who threw for
308 yards and two TDs. He completed less than half his pass-
es, but when he did connect, they were deadly. Kyani Harris
had three catches for 142 yards. Myles Holmes made two
catches for 69 yards. As a team, the Indians averaged over 23
yards per catch.
San Marin went just 2-8 last season, but they did win both
their games in the tough Marin County League, which features
Marin Catholic and Novato — two state-playoff-caliber
teams.
Willow Glen (0-0) at Carlmont (1-0),2 p.m.
The Rams were 6-3-1 overall last season and 4-2-1 in the
Santa Teresa Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League.
The Scots got off to an impressive start to 2010 with a 44-22
win over Santa Cruz.
Have the Scots finally found a running game? Robert Jordan
scored two touchdowns of 80 yards or more and finished with
265 yards on 17 carries. Josh Brass also had a big game, gain-
ing 120 yards and two scores on 12 carries.
Washington-SF (0-0) at El Camino (0-0),2 p.m.
The Eagles went 7-3 overall in 2009 and 5-1 in the Academic
Athletic Association — basically the San Francisco public
school league. The Colts were just 2-7-1 overall last season,
but a more respectable 2-2-1 in Lake Division play.
This is the 10th straight year these teams will meet. El
Camino won from 2001 to 2006, but Washington has won the
last three, including last year’s 31-14 victory.

Crabtree says he’s ready for regular season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Michael Crabtree’s sore
neck is much better, he insists he’s ready to play
after missing the entire preseason and the spat last
week with teammate Vernon Davis is long since
done.
Crabtree, the second-year San Francisco
49ers receiver, will start his first season opener
Sunday at Seattle. He didn’t join the team until
October last year following a 71-day contract
stalemate by the 10th-overall draft pick in 2009.
As Crabtree formally addressed the local
media Thursday for the first time since the start
of training camp Aug. 1, Davis came up behind
him and kissed him on the back of his right
shoulder and rubbed his head.
“Michael, good to see you, buddy,” Davis
said to Crabtree, who didn’t seem too amused
Bush held out of practice,
McFadden would get call
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Despite missing most of the
preseason with a hamstring injury, Oakland run-
ning back Darren McFadden is likely to get the
majority of work this week when the Raiders play
at Tennessee.
Some might say it’s long overdue.
With Michael Bush questionable due to a bro-
ken left thumb that required
surgery, McFadden is
expected to take the majori-
ty of reps in Oakland’s back-
field for the season opener in
Nashville.
“It’s something I’ve been
looking forward to and I
think I’m ready for it,”
McFadden said Thursday. “I
Michael Bush didn’t get much preseason
play but I don’t think that’s
going to bother me much.”
McFadden hurt himself
early in training camp and
had only seven carries in the
preseason, all of them
against San Francisco on
Aug. 28. He did not play in
the preseason finale when
Oakland rested most of its
Darren projected starters.
The injury and down time
McFadden
are nothing new to
McFadden. Since entering the league as the
fourth-overall pick in 2008, he has been beset by
a variety of lingering injuries that have shelved
him for long stretches. McFadden averaged 108.5
carries in his first two NFL seasons and has just
one 100-yard game on his resume.
The plan entering 2010 was to have McFadden
and Bush split the duties in Oakland’s backfield.
That changed slightly when Bush’s left thumb got
smashed between two helmets in the game
against San Francisco.
Bush underwent surgery and had two screws
inserted in his thumb, but coach Tom Cable
remained optimistic the former fourth-round pick
wouldn’t be out long. Bush joined his teammates
in practice Wednesday and Cable said he was
“shocked” at a report saying Bush would not play
against the Titans.
SPORTS
by the gesture.
Davis let his teammate
have it in front of everybody
during a practice last week
and coach Mike Singletary
had to step between them
before taking both players to
the locker room for a talk.
“It was a matter of being a
Michael team captain. All I was doing
Crabtree was taking care of my
responsibilities and doing
my job,” Davis explained after last Thursday’s 17-
14 preseason win over the San Diego Chargers.
Crabtree didn’t want to get into specifics about
the altercation or the cause behind it. Davis said he
was frustrated by some things Crabtree did that he
“didn’t like.”
“Ah, man, it was just something inside, you
The outlook was a bit more pessimistic
Thursday.
Bush, who wasn’t available during media
access, did not practice and strolled out to the field
well after the rest of the players, wearing sweats
and a white Raiders cap. He briefly served as an
opposing player during an offensive line drill —
standing still and doing nothing more — before
watching the rest of practice.
“That will be a game-time decision,” Cable said
of Bush. “Everything looks like he’ll (practice)
tomorrow.”
In the meantime, McFadden is prepping to be
the Raiders’ workhorse until Bush returns.
Oakland will also lean more on backups Michael
Bennett and Rock Cartwright.
“That’s one of the things the coaches talk about,
that there’s not a big drop-off from the first guy to
the last guy,” McFadden said. “We’re looking to
go out and prove we are a contender, we’re not
just a pushover.”
That includes McFadden himself. Quarterback
JaMarcus Russell, the first-overall pick in 2007,
was given his walking papers after three disap-
pointing seasons. Now the critics are already lin-
ing up to take their shots at McFadden.
“I know what I’m capable of doing so I just
want to go out there and put it out there on the
field,” he said. “For me you try not to think about
it, you just do it.”
Yet there are those who wonder if he can.
Cable, in his second full season as the Raiders
coach, is among those with questions about the
third-year running back.
“I think everybody is waiting to see Darren stay
healthy,” Cable said. “If you look at his produc-
tion it’s been pretty good when he has played.
That’s what we want to see, just that consistent
ability for him to go out there and stay on the
field. When he does that, then all those questions
or issues or whatever they are will be handled by
him.”
Notes: WR Chaz Schilens (knee), DE
Desmond Bryant (elbow), CB Walter McFadden
(hamstring) and LB Travis Goethel (back) were
also held out of practice. ... Cable acknowledged

videos rebound on the Web
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — It wasn’t long ago that the music video
was on life support.
MTV — which will hold its 27th annual Video Music
Awards on Sunday — phased out videos in favor of reality
programming and other shows that attracted better ratings.
At the same time, the music industry was collapsing and
slashed budgets no longer had room for elaborate clips.
But recently, the music video has had a revival. Watching
music videos has become a central aspect of Internet usage.
Music blogs and social media have greased the channels,
facilitating the quick, easy spreading of videos, especially
those with arresting or controversial visuals. People even
buy clips on iTunes.

“The Picture of Dorian Gray,”
Oscar Wilde’s brilliant and troubling
novel, is brought to the stage in award-
winning playwright John Fisher’s the-
matically faithful adaptation, now in its
world premiere at the Eureka Theatre.
Fisher, as director, places the cast in
period dress on a bare stage, keeping
Wilde’s story in its time while highlight-
ing the fable’s relevance to our own era.
The words spoken by the young and
handsome Dorian Gray as he gazes at a
just completed portrait of himself set the
story in motion. “How sad it is! I shall
grow old, and horrible and dreadful. But
this picture will remain always young. It
will never be older than this particular
day of June ... If it were only the other
way! If it were I who was to be always
young, and the picture that was to grow
old! For that-for that-I would give every-
thing! Yes, there is nothing in the whole
world I would not give! I would give my
soul for that!”
Gray’s fantastical wish is granted. The
play’s stark depiction of his swirling
downfall into a moral abyss propels the
action and confronts the audience with
timeless issues of good and evil, appear-
ance and reality.
Three hours with a 15-minute inter-
mission. Adapted for the stage and
directed by John Fisher. Through Sept.

contains full nudity and mature, graphic
subject matter.

Britney Spears denies
bodyguard harassment
By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears denied a bodyguard’s
accusations that she sexually harassed him and abused her chil-
dren, saying Thursday in a statement on her
website that authorities looked into his
claims but found no reason to act.
The statement said the pop singer and her
attorney expect Fernando Flores’ sexual
harassment and intentional infliction of
emotional distress lawsuit to be dismissed.
“This lawsuit is another unfortunate situ-
ation where someone is trying to take
advantage of the Spears family and make a Britney Spears
name for himself,” the statement read.
“The Department of Children and Family Services conducted
a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores’ accusations and
have closed the case without further action.”
Spears did not say when the investigation was conducted and
the department doesn’t release details of its inquiries.
Flores claimed in his lawsuit that Spears repeatedly exposed
herself to him and made other unwanted sexual advances. He

Try natural solutions for insomnia
By Shawna Page
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
There’s nothing worse than not being able
to fall sleep.
Insomnia is a common concern among pre-
menopause and menopausal women, affecting
up to 56 percent of women. Difficulty falling
asleep, waking up too early, awakening during
the night or waking feeling tired are the char-
acteristic features of insomnia. For some
women, the hot flashes caused by hormonal
changes during menopause can disrupt sleep.
For others, insomnia may be triggered by
stress, diet, medications or poor sleep habits.
Regardless of the cause, a lack of sleep can
take a toll on your health.
The optimum amount of sleep required is
thought to be between seven and nine hours
nightly. Getting less than six hours is associ-
ated with health problems, such as memory
loss, poor concentration, depression,
headache, irritability, increased response to
stress, high blood pressure, depressed
immune function, low libido and weight gain.
There are a few dietary strategies that can
improve sleep. Try a light snack before bed of
a food that contains tryptophan. This amino
acid stimulates the release of serotonin and
makes you feel sleepy. Examples include:
turkey, chicken, soy foods, whole grain crack-
ers or cereal.
A warm glass of milk is an old-time reme-
dy for sleep and there is some basis to this.
Milk contains certain proteins that aid sleep
and the calcium in milk helps promote muscle
relaxation.
Caffeine (coffee, tea, pop and chocolate)
can affect sleep quality, and should be avoid-
ed 8 hours before bedtime. While alcohol may
help you fall asleep, it causes nighttime wak-
ening and reduces sleep quality, so minimize
or avoid it completely. Go easy on sugary
foods (cookies, candy) especially in the
evening as these foods can cause a sugar-rush

and affect your ability to fall asleep.
Set aside at least 7 to 8 hours for sleep.
Leaving only 5 or 6 hours may make you feel
stressed and impact your ability to fall asleep.
Establish a regular bed and wake time and
try to follow this routine even on the week-
ends.
Do relaxing activities before bedtime: read
a book, listen to relaxing music or have a
warm bath.
Reserve your bedroom for intimacy and
sleep only; don’t work in the bedroom.
Make your bedroom dark, quiet and com-
fortable.
Exercise regularly early in the day.
Vigorous activity in the evening can be stimu-
lating and impair sleep.
Don’t smoke — nicotine is a stimulant and
impairs your ability to fall asleep and have a
restful sleep.
Consider acupuncture, massage, yoga and
meditation to promote relaxation
Prescription sedatives should only be used
when all else fails as they are addictive and
cause numerous side effects, including
impairment in short term memory.
NATURAL SLEEPING AIDS
5-HTP: Five-hydroxytryptophan increases
serotonin and melatonin levels which pro-
motes relaxation and better sleep.
L-theanine: An amino acid found in green
tea, which reduces stress, promotes relaxation
and improves sleep.
Melatonin: A hormone naturally secreted
by the brain that regulates our sleep/wake
cycles. Supplements can help reduce the time
needed to fall asleep, reduce nighttime wak-
ening and improve sleep quality. Please note
you should never take melatonin for long peri-
ods of time.

“Born Free.”
All of these videos exploded on the Internet
and became water-cooler moments. Cee Lo’s
recent and unprintable hit (titled “Forget You”
for radio) went viral with a video of only its
lyrics. And Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A
Ring On It)” became so iconic it spawned
countless imitators and even had then
President-elect Barack Obama imitating the
hand choreography.
“We’re entering another golden era for
music videos,” says Saul Austerlitz, the author
of “Money for Nothing: A History of the
Music Video from the Beatles to the White
Stripes.”
“They’ve become part of the cultural dis-
course again in a way that’s reminiscent of the
heyday of the music video, from the early ‘80s
to the mid ‘90s.”

video for the official song of the World Cup,
“Waka Waka (This One’s for Africa)” — a
colorful mix of dancing and soccer star
cameos — was nearing 100 million views on
YouTube.
“It can take on a life of its own online,” says
Shakira. “And it inspires us artists to be even
more creative. With access to so many videos,
we need to challenge ourselves to surprise our
fans.”
The video, which was distributed by the
music video and live music website Vevo, has
gone on to be watched by more than 173 mil-
lion people, good enough for the fourth most-
viewed video ever on YouTube.
In fact, four of the five most-viewed clips on
YouTube are music videos released in the last
year. (Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga top the
charts.) Though that’s partly because Vevo
(which shares a small percentage of advertis-
ing revenue with YouTube) tabulates view
counts across platforms, it’s still a striking
example of the music video’s dramatic come-
back. It’s a long way beyond the novelty

debut in 2005.
“If it wasn’t for YouTube, the online video

Through the amoral machinations of a
crafty criminal lawyer Billy Flynn (Will
Giammona), the two are raised to a fame they
never could have achieved otherwise.
Of course, “Chicago” will live on in memo-
ry if only with those great tunes: “All That
Jazz,” “Razzle Dazzle” and “Mr. Cellophane,”
the latter a show stopper as sung by Michael
Carey as Roxie’s inconsequential husband,
Amos Hart.
Raegena Raymond is a knockout as Mama
Morton, the corrupt matron of the police lock-
up, especially when singing: “When You’re
Good to Mama.”
Carrie Madsen, the only Equity performer
space would not be where it is today,” says
David Kohl, executive vice president of sales
and customer operations at the Sony and
Universal co-owned Vevo.
At the center of music video’s earlier, head-
ier times was Hype Williams, who — often
with his trademark fisheye lens — created
much of the iconography of hip-hop. Several
of his videos are typically considered among
the form’s best, like Missy Elliott’s “The Rain
(Supa Dupa Fly)” and Busta Rhymes “Put
Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See.”
But he grew disillusioned with the commer-
cialization of music videos and the recycling
of imagery. Williams was coaxed back into
music video by Kanye West and has remained
active, including recently directing the Jay-Z’s
“Empire State of Mind,” watched by nearly 60
million and nominated for three VMAs.
“It’s a different time,” says Williams. “It’s
an opportunity to find it all over again. I did-
n’t really think that was possible until recent-
ly, seeing things like this Arcade Fire clip. It
shows you that it can be more.”
Released last week, the Arcade Fire video is
titled “The Wilderness Downtown” and set to
the band’s song “We Used to Wait.” It’s a new

gives about twice as much time to Alicia

boot.

Clarissa Chun, Angela Nuttman, Damaris

“It speaks volumes about where music

to pass the torch. “It’s a young man’s game.”

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
Collector Lee Buffington is on extend-
ed medical leave. Dave Mandelkern is
an elected San Mateo County commu-
nity college trustee who has founded
and sold several private companies.
Both were the top vote-getters in June,
beating out opponents Richard
Guilbault and Joe Galligan, but require
a run-off election because neither
secured more than 50 percent of the
vote.
In-office interviews with each indi-
vidually were held to help the Daily
Journal determine endorsements. To
allow each candidate a forum to express
their opinions on the issues discussed,
candidates were given the same ques-
tions and asked to answer each in
approximately 50 words. Responses
were edited for grammar, punctuation
and length. Answers are arranged
alphabetically by the candidate’s last
name.
***
1. Please describe your key plat-
form issues and how you plan to
implement any desired changes or
programs if elected.
Arnott: A). Consider hiring an
investment advisor to provide over-
sight; funded by commissions. No cost
to taxpayers or pool participants;
B). Pursue passage and adoption of
AB1718, the County Deferred Property
Tax Program for seniors and disabled
citizens. Adopt an administration
process consistent with the other 57
counties;
C). Generate revenue and protect the
environment by implementing
California First, a state-administered
energy conservation improvement loan
program, in 2011.
Mandelkern: 1). Invest our money
safely in accordance with an updated
investment policy;
2). Efficiently collect all taxes and
revenue we’re due; improve customer
service via “one-stop shop” for proper-
ty tax payments and assessment issues,
help the medical center reduce deficits
by improving payments;
3) Advocate strongly; aggressively
represent taxpayers’ interests, defend us
against raids from Sacramento.

2009, arguing the environmental docu-
ments used to approve the project were
not stringent enough. In a ruling Aug. 17,
Marie Weiner, San Mateo County
Superior Court judge, found that the syn-
thetic turf itself is acceptable but that the
city failed to properly analyze how added
traffic will impact the environment.
Rather than argue the point and risk the
need for a new mitigated negative decla-
ration, the city worked out the agreement
which it hopes Save San Carlos Parks
will accept.
The agreements included creating a
drop-off zone and short-term parking in
one lot and signs that direct drivers to
additional parking to avoid the use of the
neighborhood.
The settlement also includes the city
paying $84,612.23 in attorney fees for
Save San Carlos Parks.
Greg Harris, of Save San Carlos Parks,
declined to comment on the settlement’s
details because he had seen the proposal
only that morning and said there was still
negotiating to be done by the Sept. 13
meeting.
“It’s still a conceptual arrangement,”
Harris said.
The city must also bear the cost of hav-
ing hired special counsel to represent it in
the lawsuit. The cost was not included in
the recently adopted budget, but officials
say there are sufficient funds in the pool

have asked voters to make the elected
position of treasurer-tax collector an
appointed job?
Arnott: No. I believe the position
should remain elected and accountable
to the taxpayers of the county.
Mandelkern: The board made the
right decision, respecting the public’s
previous votes to continue directly
electing key county officials. Keeping
this position an elected office provides
accountability to the public. An
appointed official wouldn’t have
authority to speak out on behalf of tax-
payers or stand up to the board when
necessary.
***
3. What attributes or skills make
you better prepared for the position
than your opponent?
Arnott: Twenty-one years experi-
ence. Ethical, accountable and cus-
tomer service oriented. Currently acting
treasurer-tax collector. Expertise of
county government regulations, budget
development and implementation, gov-
ernmental banking, school bond
issuance, revenue collections, treasury
and pension management. Cognizant of
departmental changes needed and how
to implement and pay for them.
Mandelkern: I currently represent
every person in the county as their
elected community college trustee,
overseeing a balanced $100 million
annual budget and $500 million capital
improvement fund. As a successful
Silicon Valley entrepreneur, I have
experience dealing with Wall Street,
investment bankers and managing com-
plex organizations. I earned my bache-
lor’s and master’s degrees from
Stanford.
***
4. What role, if any, do outside
managers and consultants have in the
office?
Arnott: Management of the county
pool is very unique. Outside manage-
ment would not guarantee increased
tax for parks. That said, the costs could
defer the Crestview Park playground
rehabilitation project for a year or longer.
The playground was the logical project
to shift back based on its priority in the
city’s master plan and because it has yet
to be started, Weil said.
“We haven’t built expectations so it’s
not as though people are clamoring for
it,” Weil said.
Reaching an agreement also lets the
synthetic turf project, currently under-
way, to continue and is now anticipated
for completion in mid-January 2011.
The plan calls for converting the sur-
face of the Highlands Park lower field
from natural to synthetic turf. The field is
an area of approximately 31 percent of
the 11.25-acre city park. The conversion
is expected to increase play space by
43.5 percent and eliminate the annual
six-week maintenance closure period.

safety of principal or yield, only
increased costs.
An investment advisor could provide
an additional layer of oversight.
Mandelkern: Our $2.4 billion
County Pooled Investment Fund has
grown larger than can be safely man-
aged by our internal investment profes-
sional. As other counties have shown,
using outside professional investment
managers will allow us to invest
smarter, with greater safety, and at a
lower cost. I also want to increase the
public oversight of our investments.

5. How can you protect San Mateo
County from future investment losses
like the $150 million attributed to the
Lehman Brothers bankruptcy two
years ago?
Arnott: Significantly reduced credit
exposure due to changed financial envi-
ronment. Increase transparency and
education of all participants to have
more eyes on the process. Adjust the
investment policy annually to anticipate
market changes. Continue having rating
agency rate the fund. Consider hiring
an investment advisor to monitor and
report on the fund.
Mandelkern: I’ll insist that the
Board of Supervisors approves an
updated investment policy to reduce our
risk: further limits on exposure to a sin-
gle issuer; clearer guidelines dealing
with ratings downgrades; and, tighter
investment maturity restrictions. The
investment process should be strength-
ened to include outside investment pro-
fessionals, greater public oversight and
automated compliance monitoring.

The San Carlos City Council is expect-
ed at Monday night’s meeting to author-
ize City Manager Mark Weiss to sign the
settlement agreement.
The proposed settlement ends a
decades-old fight over the use of synthet-
ic turf instead of natural sod in San
Carlos parks. The council finally opted
against using rubber infill — a major
concern from opponents — going with
an organic infill made of coconut husk,
peat and sand or a combination of
coconut fiber, cork and sand.
Contractors broke ground just days
before Weiner’s ruling, timing that left
Save San Carlos Parks members con-
cerned the graded park would be left in a
state of disrepair if the decision did not
favor the city. City officials dismissed the
idea, certain they would prevail and wor-
ried the $1.75 million contract would be
forfeited by delays.
After the ruling, City Attorney Greg
Rubens argued the city could continue
with the project while traffic was
addressed because Weiner did not find
the turf product itself unacceptable.
Instead, Weiner held that the city failed
to comply with California Environmental
Quality Act standards because “signifi-
cant environmental effects” related to
traffic were identified in the initial study.
Whether the impacts could be mitigated
can’t be determined because the problem
was not addressed in the first place,
Weiner wrote, adding that traffic volume
is expected to triple.

Friday, Sept. 10, 2010
The year ahead could be one of those rare ones where ambi-
tions can be fulfilled if you’re willing to go after them. Sit
down and work out a game plan instead of going through life
blindly trying to pin the tail on the donkey.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Certain perceptions you get
about people could be more on target than usual. If you
get any strong feelings about somebody in particular, don’t
underestimate your hunches.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - People in general could be more
scrutinizing about others and life than usual. Keep this in
mind if you’re trying to make a good impression on those with
whom you spend your day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Your abilities to achieve mate-
rial success are particularly good, but it won’t mean a thing
if you fail to acknowledge those who helped you open those
doors. Give them their just due.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - When making some
social arrangements, opt to spend your time with friends
whom make you feel at ease. It’ll be more enjoyable when
you can totally relax and just be yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - This is likely to be one of
those days when you can increase your holdings through your
own insight and initiative. Pick an amount of money you’d like
to make, and go after it with both barrels.
when around you. Your lively, positive attitude will permeate
anything and everybody you encounter.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - A good friend who likes you a
lot might find him/herself in a position to financially help out
others. If you’re the one who needs help, this person will pick
up on it and come through for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -This can be one of your more
pleasant days for just hanging out with people you love or
close friends who don’t ask anything of you except to be
yourself. Sometimes life is good.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Innately you understand that
luck is a matter of positive thinking, and you’ll prove it by not
letting anything disturb you. People who sense this will want
to be near you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Others might have to stand
on their heads to be noticed, but not you. Your pleasantness
draws all kinds of people who are merely looking for a happy
person to be around.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Serious decisions you need to
make won’t be predicated solely on their material value, but
based more on whether or not your choice will make you and/
or others happy, which you know is invaluable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Someone to whom you never really
got close, yet who nevertheless holds you in high regard, Sudoku
could cross your path again. This time you might discover

FIRE
Continued from page 1
seconds, plumes of smoke,” he said.
The booming explosion happened at 6:12
p.m. and the immediate, intense and
immense fire that accompanied it caused
emergency dispatchers to initially report that
a large plane had crashed since the Glenview
neighborhood south of Sneath Lane and east
of Skyline Boulevard is in the flight path of
San Francisco International Airport.
Late last night, the 10-acre fire was esti-
mated to be 50 percent contained and Pacific
Gas and Electric acknowledged the ruptured
gas transmission line was theirs.
“Though a cause has yet to be determined,
we know that a PG&E gas transmission line
was ruptured,” according to a prepared state-
ment. “If it is ultimately determined that we
were responsible for the cause of the inci-
dent, we will take accountability.”
The California Public Utilities
Commission is investigating the incident and
Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado declared a state of
emergency last night. As acting governor,
Maldonado will visit San Bruno today,
according to Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo. Both Hill and state Sen. Leland Yee,
D-San Francisco/San Mateo, offered support
for the victims and assurances state resources
will be available to the city.
“I have been assured that all available state
emergency resources are deployed in San
Bruno, including [the California Emergency
Management Agency] and Cal Fire,” Yee
said. “... My office will ensure that the affect-
VICTIMS

Many fled with just the clothes on their
backs, not certain if they would have a home
to return to after a gas main explosion in the
Glenview neighborhood engulfed 10 acres.
A massive explosion sent asphalt flying
throughout the neighborhood bound by
Skyline Boulevard, San Bruno Avenue and
Sneath Lane, just west of the Crestmoor
Canyon.
Sarah Williams was visiting a friend about a
block away from where the fire raged, near
Glenview and Claremont drives, just after 6
p.m. last night.
“It felt like a huge earthquake. When we
went outside you could see this huge fireball.
We got out of there immediately,” she said.
She ended up in the Rollingwood neighbor-
hood, just north of the fire, where hundreds
gathered to watch firefighters try to control the
blaze.
Jerry Hiller, who lives on Vermont Way, was
sitting down to watch football when he heard
a big “boom.”
“The house just shook. It rattled. I looked

Blood center calls
for more donations
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Blood Centers of the Pacific is issuing an
emergency appeal for blood donations, par-
ticularly of Type O negative, to replenish the
supply currently being depleted by those
injured in Thursday’s explosion and fire in
San Bruno.
Area hospitals are requiring significant
amounts of Type O negative blood — the
type that can be given to anyone in an emer-
gency.
While the blood center will be able to
move supplies from other hospitals to the
ones treating the injured patients, the Bay
Area’s blood supply will need to be replen-
ed families receive the state and local assis-
tance they need to recoup and recover from
this tragedy. In the days and weeks ahead, a
thorough investigation will be conducted, but
tonight our attention is on stopping any fur-
ther devastation and helping this neighbor-
hood and community.”
An emergency office has been set up at
City Hall, Ibarra said. In addition, a number
of churches have called offering help. Ibarra,
a longtime member of Lions Club
International, noted a request has been put in
for an emergency $10,000 donation to start
outside and saw a big ball of fire. It was just
five doors down,” Hiller said.
Hiller did not head to Bayhill but rather
gathered a few blocks from his home to wait
and see if it would be saved from the fire.
An entire block of homes went up in flames
at the corner of Vermont Way and Claremont
Drive just west of Fairmont Drive, destroying
automobiles on the street as well.
Firefighters were watering down the roofs
of homes all over the neighborhood to try to
keep the fire contained and had to help one
woman to safety who suffered smoke inhala-
tion.
Heat from the fire was so intense it melted
the paint on homes about a block away from
where a fire raged.
When Hiller left the scene, he could see
holes in roofs and chunks of asphalt strewn
across lawns and on the street.
“When I ran out of my house, everyone else
started running out too. It is the biggest fire I
ever saw. It looks like a war zone with the
planes, copters and all the fire trucks,” Hiller
said.
Hiller did not want to leave his home but
then could feel the heat from the fire.
“Finally, the police came and told us to get
out,” Hiller said.
Many had initially thought the fire was
ished as soon as possible, blood center
spokeswoman Lisa Bloch said.
“We’ll juggle blood from other hospitals
to make sure that they’re covered, but the
problem becomes what happens tomorrow
and over the weekend,” Bloch said.
The blood center provides donations to 40
hospitals throughout Northern California,
including Kaiser Permanente, South San
Francisco Medical Center and Seton
Hospital, where fire victims have been taken
for treatment, among others.
Although Bloch didn’t have an estimate of
how many patients they expect to accommo-
date from the explosion, she confirmed,
“We’re sending as much blood as we can.”
covering aid costs.
“When it comes to helping people, we’ll be
ready,” he said.
Councilwoman Irene O’Connell echoed
Ibarra’s concerns. Her son went to the scene
offering help, as did Mayor Jim Ruane.
A number of years ago, after attending an
emergency training conference, O’Connell
worked with city staff to ensure paperwork
was in place should an emergency of this
magnitude occur. If enough damage is done,
the city can apply for state or federal aid for
not only itself but for the residents who lost
caused by a jetliner crash.
Parkside Middle School students John
Burright and Michael John Canson were
walking down Sneath Lane to the 7-Eleven
when they heard an explosion.
“We had just heard a big jet go over and
then we heard an explosion. We thought it was
a plane,” Burright said.
Marla Shelmadine’s home filled up with
smoke just minutes after she heard the explo-
sion.
She headed to the evacuation center at
Bayhill where many of her neighbors were
gathered.
“We left right away. You should have heard
it. It sounded like drums beating,” Shelmadine
said about the explosion.
Shelmadine was about four houses down
from where a fire erupted.
She was concerned about a neighbor with
Alzheimer’s disease who lived alone who was
eventually taken to a care facility.
“Everybody is helping everyone affected by
this,” she said.
Shelmadine had heard at least 40 homes
may have been destroyed by the blaze.
“I don’t know how my house is,” she said.
“We got out of there with our dogs and cats.
My partner wasn’t even wearing any shoes.”
Clarence Press also gathered at Bayhill and

everything. Those applications cannot be
made until after the extent of the damage is
known. However, when that time comes, San
Bruno is in a place to request the help quick-
ly, she said.
The American Red Cross established an
emergency shelter at the Veterans Memorial
Recreation Center, located at 251 City Park
Way at Crystal Springs Road, according to
spokeswoman Melanie Finke. About 100
people were already at the shelter as of 8:15
p.m., she said. Officials from the Peninsula
Humane Society were also on hand to assist
pet owners.
An evacuation shelter was established at
the Bayhill Shopping Center at San Bruno
and Cherry avenues and some evacuees
opted to go there.
Cots, blankets, food, water and basic
health services were available. Arrangements
are also being made to bring in crisis coun-
selors to provide emotional support.
“It is difficult at this point to know how
many people are truly affected,” Finke said.
San Mateo Union High School District
Officials were working last night to secure
support services that will be available at
Capuchino High School as it opens Friday
morning, said Superintendent Scott
Laurence. In addition, the district is hoping
to help people in any way it can. Those who
need help from the district are asked to call
588-2201. Elementary schools in the city
will be closed today. City officials are also
working on establishing an emergency hot-
line.

was given a blanket to keep warm just after 8
p.m., two hours after the initial explosion.
“I had no time to think,” Press said. “My
neighbor across the street has a huge hole in
the roof.”
Press lives on Earl Avenue, just down the
street from a San Bruno fire station.
Crews were on scene within two minutes of
the explosion, Press said.
Karen Celentano, who lives on Claremont
Drive, grabbed her dog and husband before
fleeing her home.
“The noise was so horrendous, it was unbe-
lievable,” Celentano said. “I didn’t grab my
purse or cell phone. Fortunately, my husband
had his wallet. We are going to stay with our
dad tonight.”
Evacuees were told to check in at the
Bayhill Shopping Center so police could keep
track of who might be missing in the fire.
One woman wanted to see a list of names
that had already checked in at the evacuation
center to find out if her parents were OK,
since she hadn’t heard from them well past 8
p.m.
Their names were not on the list, however.
