Central Valley to get high-speed rail first

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The first segment of a $43-bil-
lion bullet train line between San
Francisco and Anaheim will be
built in the middle of Central
Valley farmlands, far away from
either major population center
with stimulus funding to be spent
on segments linking Fresno to
either Merced, 50 miles north, or
Bakersfield, 100 miles
south.
The decision serves as a
victory of sorts for those
on the Peninsula opposed
to the line because they
claim it will divide cities,
create noise and take prop-
erty next to the proposed route
on Caltrain tracks. State officials
originally wanted the first segment
to be built between Los
Angeles and Anaheim in
Orange County with the
San Jose to San
Francisco line also at the
top of the list for early
construction.
While the initial line
won’t serve the giant popu-
lations to the north and south,
trains will be able to roll at their
full speed of 220 mph.
An additional $715 million award
for the development of California’s
high-speed rail system was
announced last week, but federal
officials clarified that all federal
funding California received so far
must be spent in one of the two
Central Valley sections of the proj-
ect — meaning approximately $4.3
billion in infrastructure investment
will be directed somewhere in the
region between Merced and
Bakersfield.
“The Central Valley is indeed
key to creating the core of a true
high-speed rail system in
California, as that is where our
trains will travel truly high speeds
of 220 mph,” said California High-

Judge has tough

By Greg Risling and Terry Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A judge has a tough
decision to make Friday when he sentences a
white former transit offi-
cer for fatally shooting an
unarmed black man on an
Oakland train platform.
The polarizing case has

victim Oscar Grant calling

seeking probation after his
conviction for involuntary manslaughter.
Experts expect Superior Court Judge Robert
Perry to issue a sentence between those
extremes, and ramifications from the decision
could be widely felt.
Oakland police are prepared in case there is
a replay of the rioting that followed the video-
taped shooting at a train station on New Year’s
Day 2009 and the vandalism after the verdict
in July. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers
are watching to see if the outcome affects the
way they do their jobs.
Legal experts said attorneys on both sides
have compelling arguments.
“On the one hand, we have an unarmed cit-

Fire scam suspects in court
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two people separately charged with posing
as San Bruno fire victims to scam aid money
and goods appeared in court yesterday in their
respective cases.
In one instance, prosecutors say Jacqueline
Turner asked relief workers to give her
“everything you got” but drew suspicion by
using her own San Francisco address on
forms.
In another, Daniel Leon Stansbury of Los
Altos actually collected more than $2,000 in
gift cards, two weeks in a hotel room and a
rental car by allegedly twice posing as a fire
victim.
Turner and Stansbury are just two of six
people charged with various crimes connected
with the deadly Sept. 9 gas explosion and fire

undergo counseling.
Ongley Raymond Ocon III must finish 18
months of counseling and abstain from drugs

On Oct. 17, Ocon left a San Carlos party,

asked for a ride home to Danville.
Authorities said they don’t know if Ocon

a cab.
When asked if he had anything illegal on

Authorities have arrested a 42-year-old
Pacifica man suspected of stealing thousands

Brian Wayne Lima is expected to appear in
Marin Superior Court on Thursday. His attor-

to three felony burglary counts and a felony
charge of possession of stolen property.
Lima was arrested at his apartment in
Pacifica on Friday after a burglary in San
Rafael that was interrupted by the home’s
resident.
San Rafael police Detective Scott Eberle
tells the Marin Independent Journal investi-

After the man ignored the comment,

Brown makes
post-election trip
to state Capitol
Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Governor-
elect Jerry Brown made a brief stop
at the state
Capitol on
Thursday, meet-
ing with Gov.
A r n o l d
Schwarzenegger
and lawmakers
from both parties
to get an insid-
Jerry Brown er’s glimpse at
the state’s fiscal
problems.
Brown said he received a “sober-
ing” briefing from Department of
Finance officials but declined to put
a figure on the size of California’s
deficit for the next fiscal year.
“It’s very daunting. It’s as bad as
you could imagine,” Brown said.
He says he wants to get a budget
agreement as quickly as possible,
working with Democrats and
Republicans. Brown, the state attor-
ney general, also met with the lead-
ers of the state Assembly and Senate.
Brown said the newly approved
Proposition 25, which reduces the
threshold to pass a budget to a simple
majority of the Legislature, rather
than two-thirds, could be helpful but
will not solve the state’s structural
problems.
Trend of weak turnout for midterms continues
By Robin HIndrey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Election offi-
cials estimate voter turnout in
California for this year’s general
election was on par with past guber-
natorial elections at less than 60
percent, despite some fiercely com-
petitive statewide races and voter
frustration with the status quo.
As of Thursday, preliminary
results from the secretary of state’s
office showed 7.6 million people —
or 44.2 percent of registered voters
— cast ballots in person or by mail.
That figure will increase as coun-
ties continue processing a flood of
last-minute absentee and provision-
al ballots before the Dec. 3 report-
ing deadline.
The secretary of state’s office
asked the state’s 58 counties to vol-
untarily submit estimates of their
remaining ballots by close of busi-
ness Thursday. Forty-five counties
did so, reporting more than 1.9 mil-
lion ballots remain uncounted. That
includes more than 1.4 million
absentee ballots.
An additional 2 million votes
would increase California’s overall
turnout to nearly 56 percent of reg-
istered voters. Turnout also was 56
percent in the last gubernatorial
election, when Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger was re-elected in
2006.
Vote tallies often increase signifi-
cantly after Election Day. Two days
after the 2008 presidential election,

California ballots were still

Tom Hansford, an associate pro-

tively weak estimates, despite high-

tion with Sacramento and
Washington.
“Does disaffection drive vote

Coming in to Election Day, coun-
ties had received just 42 percent of
the 7.6 million vote-by-mail ballots
that had been requested statewide,
according to the California
Association of Clerks and Election
Officials. The large volume of 11th-
hour returns meant several competi-
tive races were still too close to call
Thursday, including the race for
state attorney general and two con-
gressional contests.
Self-funded candidates
found wins out of reach
By Kevin Freking
and Susan Haigh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Dipping into
personal fortunes to self-finance a
campaign this election season turned
out to be a losing investment for sev-
eral candidates trying to break into
political office.
Former eBay chief executive Meg
Whitman took the biggest gamble,
spending $142 million in her losing
effort to become California’s next
governor, a figure that covers the
general election and her GOP pri-
mary race.
In Connecticut, former wrestling
entertainment executive Linda
McMahon is expected to have spent
at least $50 million in a losing U.S.
Senate bid. And in New York, mil-
lionaire developer Carl Paladino was
expected to spend about $10 million
in a losing governor’s race against
Democrat Andrew Cuomo.
California’s newly elected gover-
nor, Jerry Brown, said his campaign
showed that it takes more than
money to succeed in politics.
“It takes brains and it takes a little
bit of luck, and it takes a lot of peo-
ple pulling together,” he said.
Based on unofficial returns, he
spent about $7.50 per vote by using

general election. That also does not
count the more than $20 million she
received from contributors.
Whitman dominated the state’s
airwaves for most of 2010. The strat-
egy paid off in the primary, but the
Brown campaign believes the ads
became so repetitive that they lost
their effectiveness.
“Throwing a lot of ads on the TV
in the middle of the summer might
not make a lot of sense,” Brown said
in an interview with the Associated
Press. “There’s only so many times
you can tell somebody something.
Name recognition is good, but repe-
tition of ads can be very debilitat-
ing.”
Perhaps the most important lesson
from Election Day was that money
simply can’t overcome demograph-
ics. Republicans who spent big tend-
ed to run in states where the
Democratic Party dominates.

Obama challenges Cabinet,sets bipartisan talks
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama sought Thursday to
retake the political initiative after a
bruising election, inviting Republican
and Democratic congressional lead-
ers to meet with him on the economy
and jobs. The White House said
Obama would consider extending
Bush-era tax cuts even for upper
income Americans for a year or two.
The Nov. 18 meeting will be close-
ly watched, in particular, for any
signs of cooperation between Obama
and his two frequent Republican
antagonists, incoming House speak-
er-in-waiting John Boehner and
Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell. They will be joined by
the top Democrats in Congress,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Four other lawmakers will attend:
Republicans Rep. Eric Cantor of
Virginia and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl,
and Democrats Rep. Steny Hoyer of
Maryland and Illinois Sen. Dick
Durbin.

White House spokesman Robert
Gibbs said no staff would take part
in the meeting, which will include
dinner. Gibbs said he expects the
meeting to be the first of many.
While the White House said the
date of the meeting was set,
McConnell spokesman Don Stewart
said the date and time were still
being worked out. Stewart said
McConnell is “encouraged” by the
chance to meet with Obama to dis-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Victorious at
the polls, congressional Republicans
asserted their newfound political
strength on Thursday, vowing to seek
a quick $100 billion in federal spend-
ing cuts and force repeated votes on
the repeal of President Barack
Obama’s prized health care overhaul.
At the White Houses, Obama said
his administration was ready to work
across party lines in a fresh attempt
to “focus on the economy and jobs”
as well as attack waste in govern-
ment. In a show of bipartisanship, he
invited top lawmakers to the White
House at mid-month, and the
nation’s newly elected governors two
weeks later.
Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, in
line to become the new speaker of
the House, brushed aside talk that the
No. 1 GOP goal was to make sure
Obama is defeated at the polls in
2012. “That’s Senator McConnell’s
statement and his opinion,” he told
ABC, referring to the party’s leader
in the Senate and adding that his own
goals included cutting spending and
creating jobs.
But tentative talk of compromise
competed with rhetoric reminiscent
of the just-completed campaign.
In a speech at the conservative
Heritage Foundation, Kentucky Sen.
Mitch McConnell said the only way
to achieve key party legislative goals
such as ending government bailouts,
cutting spending and repealing the
health care law “is to put someone in
the White House who won’t veto”
them.
“There’s just no getting around it,”
he added.

“What Sen.
McConnell is really saying
is,‘Republicans want to let
insurance companies go back
to denying coverage to people
with pre-existing conditions ...”
— Jim Manley,spokesman for
Majority Leader Harry Reid,D-Nev.
Obama has ruled out accepting
repeal of the health care measure,
and Senate Democrats responded
quickly to McConnell.
“What Sen. McConnell is really
saying is, ‘Republicans want to let
insurance companies go back to
denying coverage to people with pre-
existing conditions, let them go back
to charging women twice as much
for the same coverage as men, and let
them push millions of seniors back
into the Medicare doughnut hole,”
said Jim Manley, spokesman for
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The maneuvering unfolded two
days after elections that swept
Democrats out of power in the House
and cut deeply into their Senate
majority, scripting an uncertain new
era of divided government for the
final two years of Obama’s term.
In the House, Boehner asked
members of the Republican rank and
file to support him for speaker when
the new Congress convenes in early
January. His victory is a formality,
given the huge 60-member gain he
engineered as party leader.
Nor did there appear to be any
competition to Rep. Eric Cantor of
Virginia as majority leader, the sec-
ond-most powerful position in the
House.

U.S., British downplay
French comment on mail bombs
PARIS — American and British officials moved quickly
Thursday to downplay the French interior minister’s com-
ment that one of two mail bombs sent from Yemen last week
was disarmed just 17 minutes before it was set to go off.
The issue of timing is central to the investigation because
it could indicate whether terrorists hoped to blow up the
planes over U.S. airspace or whether they simply wanted to
take down the planes regardless of their location.
“One of the packages was defused only 17 minutes before
the moment that it was set to explode,” French Interior
Minister Brice Hortefeux told state-run France-2 television.
He made no other comment on the Yemen mail bomb plot in
the interview and was not available afterwards.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the ques-
tion of when the bombs found in Britain and the United Arab
Emirates were to go off was still under investigation and
there was no information confirming such a close call.
Official: Mumbai plane

MUMBAI, India — A Delta flight that landed at Mumbai
on Thursday night was searched after suspicious cargo was
reported on board. All the passengers got off safely but the
airport was on high alert.
“The security agencies are checking the cargo,” said air-
port spokesman Manish Kalghatgi.
The plane from Amsterdam landed at Mumbai’s interna-
tional airport around 11 p.m. flanked by fire trucks and other
emergency vehicles and was immediately taken to an isolat-
ed bay, where it was being inspected by bomb squads and
airport security, Kalghatgi said.
All 244 passengers on board Delta flight 70 were evacuat-
ed safely, he said.

Blanchard, who friends called “Sweets” because of her

Her death leaves Eunice G. Sanborn of Jacksonville,
Texas, as the world’s oldest person, according to two organ-

Haiti homeless trapped

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The sky

Government officials and police told peo-

they risk their lives and stay?

An important change for our county
P
erhaps lost in this year’s
election excitement was an
important local ballot
measure that indicates true progress
in how our county conducts the
business of filling vacancies on the
Board of Supervisors.
Measure U, which overwhelm-
ingly passed with 65.7 percent of
the vote Tuesday, changes the
county charter to require a vote of
the people rather than an appoint-
ment to fill a vacancy on the Board
of Supervisors for someone who
held the position for less than two
years and nine and a half months.
The push to establish replace-
ment guidelines sparked in late
2008 after current Supervisor
Carole Groom was appointed to fill
a vacancy left by Jerry Hill when
he took a seat in the state
Assembly.
It would be difficult to find many
who would say Groom has been
anything but an apt replacement,
but the process was called into
Cheers for Horsley’s election
Editor,
Your Nov. 3 article on Don
Horsley's victory in the District
Three supervisor race is gratifying.
I worked with Don when we
were younger and new deputies. I
always found Don to be an alterna-
tive thinker and not just a follower
of the usual dogmatic rhetoric that
is out there. That has evidenced
itself in this race. I also had the
honor of working with Dr. Barry
Rosen and assisted Don when he
was sheriff with some new ideas
imparted to his office. I am a resi-
dent of San Carlos and am elated
that the police have been absorbed
into the Sheriff’s Office. This
direction for saving money has
been a long time coming. The fire
agencies are way ahead of law
enforcement in this county when it
comes to thinking savings. I sup-
port Don’s platform to consolidate
services. San Mateo Fire Chief Dan
Belville is also now heading the
Foster City Fire Department and I
am sure you will see more of this
in the future. Folks, guess what, it
saves you big dollars. We have 19
separate cities in San Mateo
County all doing the same thing.
Why not pull it together, it cuts
overall costs and can function on a
county level with the sheriff as the
overseer on the law enforcement
side and a board of fire commis-
sioners on the fire side?
Don has the ability to speak sin-
cerely and from years of experi-
ence and with our help can bring
change and save us dollars in this
county. The one constant is change
— embrace it.

gotten in the habit of naming
replacements rather than allowing
for an election and the healthy dis-
cussion that comes with it. At the
time, the board said the $1.6 mil-

After careful analysis and study
of the propositions, only three of
the nine propositions came through
the voting process with generally
positive outcomes. Simple random
guesswork might have produced a
better result.
It appears that people want to
handicap the Legislature’s ability
to govern wisely, and/or to increase
the money essential to provide ade-
quate services (Propositions 19, 20,
21, 22, 24 and 26). The majority of
voters apparently based their voting
preferences on listening to the
highly deceptive advertisements
placed on television by special
interest groups. Thank goodness
there was enough money available
from outraged citizens to at least
defeat Proposition 23 and to pass

The board did not decide to

Uneducated voters
Editor,
For a democracy to work, an
educated population is necessary.
How blindly “conservative” do you
have to be for 40 percent of voters
in Delaware to support Christine
O’Donnell, or almost 50 percent of
Nevadans to support Sharron Angle,
after both having proved that they
are blank on the issues, with no idea
of what it takes to represent voters?
How easily fooled do you have to
be for the vast majority to go
Republican in the House, falling for
cheap slogans and empty references
to “values” and “principles?”
What part of the Constitution
don’t they understand? The pream-
ble reads “We the People of the
United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish jus-
tice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare and
secure the Blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do
ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of
America.”
Clearly, government has to estab-
lish jobs for these conditions to be
secured and maintained, including
the welfare of all, which includes
health, happiness and prosperity.
Lack of universal health care is sim-
ply unconstitutional. On the other
hand, the Constitution does not pro-
vide for elected officials to under-
mine the work of other duly elected
officials, including the president,
which the GOP leadership is dead
set on taking down, at any cost, and
regardless of what he does for the

Stocks set highs for 2010
By David K. Randall
1,390.80
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Federal Reserve
wanted to push interest rates lower and
jump-start financial markets with its
$600 billion economic stimulus plan. So
far the Fed is getting the results it wants.
Long-term interest rates sank and
stocks indexes hit new highs Thursday, a
day after the Fed announced its massive
bond-buying plan. The Dow Jones
industrial average soared more than 220
points, reaching another high for the
year. All three main stock indexes have
now reached 2010 highs this week.
After five straight days of gains, the
Dow Jones industrial average returned to
levels last seen in early September 2008,
before the collapse of Lehman Brothers
and the worst days of the financial crisis.
“Much of today’s gains comes as a
result of the government pumping
money into the market,” said Joe
Kinahan, the chief derivatives strategist
at TD Ameritrade.
The dollar fell against other currencies
as traders anticipated lower U.S. interest
rates because of the Fed’s bond-buying
program. Crude oil, gold and other com-
modities rose.
The Dow rose 219.71 points, or 2.0
percent, to close at 11,434.84. The
broader S&P 500 index rose 23.10
points, or 1.9 percent, to 1,221.06, and
the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite
gained 37.07 points, or 1.5 percent to
2,577.34.
Retailers reported solid sales in
October, sending shares of major retail-
ing companies sharply higher. Gap Inc.
rose 6 percent while Macy’s Inc. jumped
6.6 percent.
“Those retail numbers are telling us
that the holiday season is going to get off
Retailers’modest sales may spur deals
By Anne D’Innocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Shoppers took a
breather in October, resulting in lacklus-
ter gains for retailers and raising the
stakes on what is sure to be a competi-
tive holiday season.
For Christmas shoppers, that means
that heavy discounts will be coming
early and often.
“The deals will be so attractive that
shoppers may not want to wait,” said
John Long, retail strategist at Kurt
Salmon Associates. “This is going to be
a great (time) to be a consumer.”
For October, the International Council
of Shopping Centers index measuring
revenue at stores open at least a year
showed a 1.6 percent increase in
October, the weakest performance since
Cable subscribers fleeing,
but is Internet to blame?
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cable companies have
been losing TV subscribers at an ever
faster rate in the last few months, and
satellite TV isn’t picking up the slack.
That could be a sign that Internet TV
services such as Netflix and Hulu are
finally starting to entice people to cancel
cable, though company executives are
pointing to the weak economy and hous-
ing market for now.
Third-quarter results reported
Thursday by major cable TV companies
show major losses, but don’t settle the
question of what’s causing them.
If “cord-cutting” in favor of Internet
video is finally taking hold, that has
wide-ranging implications. Consumers
who use the Internet to get their movies
Wall Street
to a good start,” said Stephen Jones, the
chairman of Jones Villalta Funds.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve
announced it plans to buy $600 billion in
bonds in an effort to spur spending and
ultimately lower the unemployment rate.
The central bank was unusually detailed
in its announcement, saying it planned to
spend $75 billion a month on bonds until
at least the middle of next year. That’s on
top of the roughly $35 billion a month its
already buying.
In corporate news, shares of BHP
Billiton, the world’s largest mining com-
pany, rose 5.9 percent after the Canadian
government rejected BHP’s $38.6 billion
bid to buy Potash Corp. of
Saskatchewan. After the market closes,
Kraft Foods Inc., Starbucks Corp. and
CBS Corp. will announce earnings.
The Fed’s plan will increase the sup-
ply of dollars held by banks and most
likely push the value of the currency
down. The dollar is at its lowest level
since December 2009 against a broad
basket of currencies, and was down 0.8
percent against that index Thursday.
Energy prices jumped, sending oil up
$1.80 to $86.49.
Finance ministers in emerging
economies like China and Brazil have
criticized the Fed’s stimulus plan, argu-
ing that low interest rates in the U.S.
could fuel asset bubbles in their coun-
tries.
Treasury prices have been climbing
since the Fed’s announcement
Wednesday afternoon. The yield on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury note,
which moves opposite its price, fell to
2.47 percent from 2.58 percent the day
before.
April’s 0.8 percent increase. October’s
figure represented a slowdown from
September, when it rose 2.6 percent. It’s
also below the average pace of 3.2 per-
cent since the start of retailers’ fiscal
year, which begins in February.
Revenue at stores open at least a year
is considered a key indicator of a retail-
er’s health because it excludes results
from newly opened stores. The index
excludes Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which
doesn’t report monthly sales, but
includes drugstores like Walgreen Co.,
which announced disappointing figures.
Behind October’s results were clear
winners and losers. Luxury stores
including Neiman Marcus and Saks Inc.
were the best performers as the affluent
have recovered from the recession more
quickly than everyone else amid a
rebounding stock market. Macy’s Inc.,
and TV shows bypass not just the cable
companies, but the cable networks that
produce the content. The move could
have the same disruptive effect on the TV
and movie industries as digital down-
loads have already had on music.
A few weeks ago, the CEO of phone
company Verizon Communications Inc.
likened cord-cutting to what started hap-
pening to the local-phone companies five
or six years ago, when people started giv-
ing up their landlines in favor of relying
solely on their cell phones.
“The first thing when that happens is
you deny it,” Ivan Seidenberg said. “I
know the drill. I have been there.”
On Thursday, Time Warner Cable
Inc.’s chief operating officer, Landel
Hobbs, said the company doesn’t see evi-
dence of people dropping cable in favor
of the Internet.

Stocks around
the world rally
after Fed action
By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Global stock
markets staged an explosive rally
Thursday, embracing a move by the
Federal Reserve to try to rejuvenate
the U.S. economy by buying $600 bil-
lion in Treasury bonds.
The Dow Jones industrial average
reached its highest point in more than
two years, and stocks surged from
Tokyo to London.
Elsewhere around the world, eco-
nomic dominoes began to fall: The
dollar sank. Oil prices surged. And
Asian countries raised fears that their
currencies would rise relative to the
dollar, making their exports more
expensive.
And some fretted about the prospect
of financial instability in Asia and
other regions. But stock investors, at
least, celebrated the Fed’s move.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said
the bond purchases would drive down
interest rates on mortgages and other
borrowing. That could get individuals
and businesses to borrow and spend
and aid a U.S. economy stuck with 9.6
percent unemployment.
Two developments, in particular,
seemed to cheer investors: In announc-
ing its $600 billion bond-buying pro-
gram, the Fed left the door open to fur-
ther action later.

tailor merchandise to local markets, had
a decent performance, outshining rivals
like J.C. Penney and Kohl’s Corp., both
of which suffered declines. It raised its
earnings outlook.
Warehouse club operators such as
Costco Wholesale Corp. fared well.
Target Corp. posted a small gain slightly
above Wall Street estimates. Target
noted that essentials are selling better
than nonessentials.
The big factor depressing October
sales was the unusually warm weather,
said Mike Niemira, chief economist at
International Council of Shopping
Centers. He estimated that depressed
October sales by one percentage point.
Last month was the warmest October in
15 years, according to forecaster

reduce cancellations, helping third-quarter
net income and revenue rise.
The El Segundo-based company said
that in the third quarter ended Sept. 30,

Scots take cross country titles

Feuerhelm holds off Beckwith for the boys’championship; Peterson wins girls’crown again
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While many runners were drop-

ping like flies in the anomalous
November heat, the front-runners
entering Thursday’s Peninsula
Athletic League Cross Country
championships maintained their
position as the finest harriers the
area has to offer.
The Carlmont Scots won both the
boys and girls varsity finals at
Crystal Springs, and Jessie Peterson
continued her quest for a second
straight Central Coast Section title
by dusting the field in 18 minutes,
17 seconds. Peterson, who was one
of four Scots to finish in the top five
of the ladies race, finished 52 sec-
onds ahead of second-place Lauren
Croshaw of Aragon. Woodside’s
Kyle Feuerhelm won the boys’ race.
The unusual heat wave envelop-
ing the Bay Area was an issue for
every runner — even Peterson,
despite the comfortable victory.
“You can’t get it going, you can’t
breathe,” she said, adding that she’s
hopeful that by the CCS finals,
scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 13, it
will be “real November weather.
Not this fake stuff, that is just terri-
ble.”

Hillsdale, Sequoia face off

It’s not uncommon to see teams
tighten up when championships are on
the line. But when Hillsdale and
Sequoia face off tonight in a game that
could determine which one finishes as
king of the Peninsula Athletic League
Lake Division, don’t expect three yards
and a cloud of dust.
If anything, there will likely be a
boatload of points.
Both offenses are amongst the most
prolific in the Central Coast Section and
they will each be laying it on the line for
a coveted league title, which also car-
ries with it the bonus of an automatic
CCS playoff berth.
“For us, it’s pretty cut and dry, ...
we’re trying to achieve the goal we set
out and have been in search of since
way back in June. We’re trying to be
league champs,” Hillsdale Knights
coach Mike Parodi said. “With league
championships come a lot of cool stuff
afterwards.”
The Knights are rolling of late, hav-
ing won three straight games to push
their record to 3-1 in league and 6-2

Facing second-seeded Paige

the first set 6-3 before Keating took
control of the second set 6-1.
Regaining her composure, Tsu took
the title by winning the final frame 6-

Blues shut out Sharks
By R.B. Fallstrom
AP SPORTS WRITER
ST. LOUIS — Joe Thornton
paid a high price for what he
believed was a clean check.
So did the San Jose Sharks,
who have trouble mustering
offense these days even with
their scoring leader on the ice.
David Perron recovered
from Thornton’s elbow to the
head with a goal that helped
the St. Louis Blues win their
sixth in a row at home to start
the season in a 2-0 victory on
Thursday night.
“I asked the guys who hit
me actually, because I didn’t
know who it was,” Perron
said. “Obviously, Joe’s not a
dirty player. It’s good I got to
score a goal and it was a big
one for us.” Thornton, who
has 15 points in 12 games,
didn’t think he did anything
wrong. Just the same, he
missed the last 34:31.
“I felt like I established
myself on the ice,” Thornton
said. “I just braced myself for
the hit. He just ran into me, to
be honest with you.”
Perron scored his fifth goal
of the season late in the second
period for a two-goal cushion,

“It’s exciting, that’s the term
I used,” Cable said. “It’s an
exciting time for the organiza-
tion, the community, the fans,
but you’ve got to keep in per-
spective. It’s about our team
continuing to get better, and
that’s what we’ve been able to
do lately, and as long as we
stick to that we’ll be fine.”
The two teams head into the
game as the top two in the
AFC West, a turnaround from
the previous three seasons
when they occupied the bot-
tom two positions.

T.J. Oshie’s shot deflected off

checker Matt D’Agostini got
his fifth in the first.
The Blues extended their
franchise record to 12 wins
overall in a row at home despite
going 0 for 6 on the power play.
Most of last season, St. Louis
had one of the worst home
records in the NHL.
“For some reason, it’s the
home of the Blues at the end
of the National Anthem,” for-
ward David Backes said. “It’s
a great way to reward our fans
the way we haven’t the past
couple of years.”
Alex Pietrangelo assisted in
both goals for the Blues, who
have won five in a row overall
and have 16 points through
the first 10 games, the sec-
ond-best start in franchise
history and only one point
behind the 2002-03 season.
The Sharks were shut out

Best Bets
Burlingame (3-1, 5-3) at
M-A (1-3, 2-6), 2:45 p.m.
The Panthers shut down King’s Academy last
week, 28-16. The Bears dropped a heartbreaker
to Terra Nova, 31-21.
Burlingame’s offense finally caught up to the
defense and the Panthers are turning into one of
the scariest teams in the PAL. The Panthers have
scored 28 points in each of their last two games
while surrendering a combined 23. The Panthers
are essentially playing keep-away with the
ground attack, led by Ilan Lesov, who has gone
over 130 yards in back-to-back games.
M-A appears to have the tools to be an elite
team, the Bears just need to learn how to finish.
The Rest
Capuchino (0-3,1-6) at
El Camino (2-2,4-4),2:45 p.m.
The Mustangs were over-run by Hillsdale, 41-
18. The Colts were ground up by Carlmont, 35-
14.
Capuchino showed a little life last week, trail-
ing 14-6 in the second quarter before Hillsdale
ran away. Junior quarterback Tim Gretter threw a
touchdown pass and sophomore Jordan Griffiths
scored on a long run. He also had one of three
interceptions for the Cap defense.
Two weeks ago, El Camino was in the hunt for
a Lake Division title. Now, the Colts are trying to
snap a two-game losing streak. Against
Carlmont, the Colts were beaten at their own
game — namely the ground attack. Carlmont
racked up 400 yards of offense, all on the ground
while holding El Camino to less than 150 yards
rushing.
Woodside (1-3,1-7) at
Half Moon Bay (2-2,5-3),6 p.m.
The Wildcats were dismantled by Menlo
School last week, 42-7. The Cougars dropped a
heart-breaking 33-32 loss to Jefferson.
SPORTS
They had Terra Nova on the ropes last week, but
gave up a late touchdown and turned the ball
over on their last possession to lose. The Bears
lost the previous week when Sacred Heart Prep
drove 99 yards for the winning score.
M-A might be the most physical team in the
PAL, with linebacker Junior Sakalia leading the
way.
South City (2-2, 4-3) at
Menlo School (3-1, 6-2), 2:45 p.m.
The Warriors beat San Mateo 35-20 last week.
The Knights dusted Woodside, 42-7.
South City’s offense exploded for the second
week in a row. The Warriors put a 42-spot on
Woodside two weeks ago and 35 more last
week. All the while, the defense gave up 11 and
20 points, respectively.
Woodside has surrendered 42 points in each of
its last three games while scoring just 30 points
combined.
Half Moon Bay running back Dominic Sena
rushed for 213 yards and the Cougar defense had
two goal-line stands and still couldn’t overcome
Jefferson.
Mills (0-3,0-8) at
Carlmont (2-1,5-3),6:30 p.m.
The Vikings were drilled by Sequoia, 58-6.
The Scots blasted a good El Camino squad, 35-
14.
Mills continues to struggle putting anything
together. The Vikings were burned for over 400
yards rushing last week, while managing just 55
yards of offense. They did get an 80-yard kickoff
return for a touchdown to account for their scor-
ing.
Carlmont, as has been the case all season, was
led by running back Robert Johnson, who rushed
for over 270 yards and four touchdowns.
Defensively, the Scots held El Camino’s running
game in check, holding the Colts to just 133
yards rushing.
Aragon (1-3,3-5) at
King’s Academy (1-3,4-4),7 p.m.
For the second week in a row, South City run-
ning back Faleh Salem had a huge game, rush-
ing for nearly 400 yards.
Menlo rebounded nicely on offense last week
after being held to just 13 points against
Jefferson two weeks ago. The Knights’ defense
hasn’t been shabby either this season. A week
after holding Jefferson to two touchdowns, they
limited Woodside to less than 100 yards of total
offense. Menlo’s defense is tops of all the PAL,
allowing less than 12 points per game overall
this season. In Ocean Division play, they’re giv-
ing up less than 11.
Sacred Heart Prep (3-1, 7-1) at
Terra Nova (3-1, 5-3), 7 p.m.
The Gators gobbled up Aragon, 33-21 last
week. The Tigers rallied to beat M-A 31-21.
The Dons couldn’t hold off Sacred Heart Prep
last week, losing 33-21. The Knights were shut
down in a 28-16 loss to Burlingame.
Aragon lost its second straight game and third
out of its last four. The Dons’ secondary was
torched to the tune of 276 passing yards from
SHP quarterback John Geary. Aragon trailed 26-
7 before making a game of it. Quarterback
Anthony Nichols threw for 138 yards.
King’s Academy was the latest team to find out
Burlingame’s defense is no joke. Running back
Amir Carlisle, who rushed for nearly 300 yards
two weeks ago, was held to just 84 against the
Panthers.
San Mateo (0-4,2-6) at
Jefferson (4-0,7-1),7 p.m.
The Bearcats lost to South City, 35-20. The
Indians won another heart-stopping game, beat-
ing Half Moon Bay 33-32.
San Mateo, which started the season with two
straight wins, has now lost six in a row and
haven’t scored more than 20 points since a 50-29
loss to Terra Nova Sept. 24. The good news for
the Bearcats is their best skill players appear to be

performance. WR Jack Odell was the main tar-
get, finishing with seven catches for 118 yards
and a score.
Terra Nova, which has been banged up this
year, got quarterback Chris Forbes back after he
missed the Tigers’ loss to King’s Academy the
prior week. Although not nearly 100 percent,
Forbes still guided to 24 points.
It was the Tigers’ defense, however, that was
story. They held M-A to less than 300 yards of
total offense and got a pick-six from Jeremy
Leaver to ice the game.
Bearcats’ defense is a having a hard time stop-
ping opposing offenses. Last week, South City
rolled up more than 400 yards rushing.
For the second week in a row, Jefferson
squeaked out a one-point win. A victory this
week would clinch at least a tie for the Ocean
Division title and a possible CCS berth.
Against Half Moon Bay, the difference was
one extra point. The final score — a 6-yard pass
from Cheyenne Meafua to Kyani Harris — cou-
pled with the extra point from Joey Gonzalez,
gave Jefferson the margin of victory.
Riordan (1-4,1-7) at
Serra (3-1-1,5-2-1),2 p.m.Saturday
The Crusaders were buried by Bellarmine last
week, 50-7. The Padres slugged it out with Mitty,
settling for a 40-40 tie.
Riordan has had a tough go of it recently, hav-
ing lost three straight since a 21-14 win over St.
Ignatius Oct. 9. Since then, however, the
Crusaders have been out-scored 66-7, 55-6 and
50-7.
Running back Erick Wilson returned to the
Serra lineup with a bang, rushing for 200 yards.
But it was a 33-yard field goal from Parker Toms
that secured the tie against the Monarchs.

Mercedes convertibles cruise fashionably

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The new-for-2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolets are

stylish cruisers — but a bit old-fashioned.
The open-top, 2011 E350 and E550 look pretty on the road,
ride smoothly and have the latest amenities and technology to
make even cool-weather driving more comfortable than
expected. But like past Mercedes Cabriolets of the early 1990s,
the E-Class Cabrios have fabric soft tops, not the more com-
plicated and weighty retractable hardtops that are common
today. And so the E-Class convertibles offer a good amount of
trunk space.
Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including des-
tination charge, for the E350 Cabriolet with 268-horsepower
V-6 is $57,725. The uplevel E550 with 382-horsepower V-8
starts at $65,675.
Both models come with many standard features, including
leather-trimmed seats, seven-speed automatic transmission,
dual-zone climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheel,
18-inch wheels and adjustable, 14-way, power front seats.
Standard safety items include front and side air bags, a driver
air bag to help keep the driver properly positioned behind the
steering wheel during a frontal crash, electronic stability con-
trol and pop-up rollbars that deploy in a rollover crash.
Competitors in the four-passenger luxury convertible seg-
ment include the 2011 Audi A5 Cabriolet, which has a starting
retail price of $42,875 with turbocharged four-cylinder engine,
and the 2010 BMW 650i Convertible, which starts at $86,175
with 360-horsepower V-8.
Despite their E-Class moniker, these Cabriolets ride on a
rear-wheel drive platform that shares a lot with the smaller,
lower-priced Mercedes C-Class sedans.
But the new convertibles’ striking exterior styling, well-
crafted interior and 15.4-foot-length ensure that the Cabrios
don’t come off as entry-level Mercedes.
The tester, an uplevel E550 with 5.5-liter, double overhead
cam V-8, surprised with its calm, cruising personality in city

Trucks outselling cars by
widest margin in years
By Sharon Silke Carty
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Trucks outsold cars by the
highest margin in nearly five years in October,
a small sign that the economy may be starting
to improve.
These trucks aren’t the tractor-trailers that
haul freight. They were vehicles such as pick-
ups, SUVs, minivans and smaller SUVs,
which made up 54 percent of all U.S. vehicle
sales according to industry tracker J.D. Power
and Associates, while cars made up 46 percent
of the market. That’s the biggest margin of
difference between the two categories since
December 2005, when trucks accounted for
56 percent of sales.
Strong truck sales make economists giddy
because it means people are willing to spend
money again. Small business owners feel
comfortable enough to buy a new pickup
truck or delivery van for their company; and
regular folks are confident enough in their
jobs and finances to take on beefy SUV pay-
ments.
Here are the trends behind the stronger
truck sales:
— People are spending more. Personal sav-
ings rates are coming down. The most recent
figures show the rate has decreased from a
yearly high of 6.4 percent in June to 5.3 per-
cent in September - meaning people don’t feel
the need to hoard cash at the bank.
— Gasoline is still affordable. Truck sales

traffic and was an easy, welcoming car for
everyday use.
Thanks to a nicely damped suspension, pas-
sengers didn’t feel many road bumps, and
even vibrations were predominantly mild.
With roof closed, the interior was strikingly
quiet for a soft-top convertible. I noticed that
typical loud sounds from nearby trucks and
the roar of Harley motorcycles in the lane next
to me were kept to a minimum. Mercedes
engineers call the fabric top an acoustic roof,
and it’s made thick and sturdy to insulate
against the weather and noise.
It also goes up or down in 20 seconds with
the touch of a button.
But I had to search to find the button. It’s
tucked under a small, leather-trimmed cover
in the center console.
One of the hallmarks of the E-Class Cabrios
is how much Mercedes did to include features
that make these cars warm and less windy
when the tops are down. One feature is the
Airscarf, which blows heated air onto the
backs of front-passenger necks through small
air holes between the head restraints and the
top of the seatbacks. Mercedes put this feature
into its SLK two-seater. Now, it’s improved
and effective in the E-Class Cabrios.
Mercedes also has its new Aircap — a panel
that a driver can activate from the top of the
windshield to help direct air flow over front
and rear passengers. With side windows up, it
seems to be most beneficial for people in the
front seat, rather than the back. But it left me
wondering: Isn’t a convertible ride supposed
to feel like you’re in the open air and not just
under a big sunroof?
These convertibles have structural rein-

have been sensitive to high gas prices in the
past, falling dramatically when gas topped $3
and $4 a gallon in 2008 and many drivers
were spending over $100 to fill their tanks.
After nearly eight straight years of dominat-
ing the vehicle sales market, truck sales
quickly declined after that gas price spike,
which was driven by fears that demand from
China would constrain U.S. supplies. Now,
gas prices are around $2.80 a gallon, accord-
ing to AAA, higher than the $1.50 to $1.90
range through the peak of truck and SUV pop-
ularity, but not enough to hinder sales.
Truck sales are “encouraging, because we
know that gasoline prices have not been par-
ticularly low recently,” says Dana Johnson,
chief economist for Comerica Bank.
— Promotions are helping. Ford, which just
wrapped up a month of zero-percent financing
offers on its F-series pickup trucks, saw sales
jump 24.2 percent in October. George Pipas,
manager of sales analysis for Ford, says sales
of the F-series have been rebounding this
year, as small business owners return to the
market.
“Last year, businesses were very cash
strapped, and many small businesses were
having to conserve cash and defer any non-
essential purchases, and vehicles fall into that
category,” he says. While some buyers may
need to buy a truck, they don’t necessarily
have to buy a new one. And given the increas-
ing durability of cars and trucks, drivers can
hang onto their vehicles for longer.
forcements for a stable ride, without shakes
when the roof is down. The reinforcements
also add weight, making the cars feel solid.
Specifically, the test E550 Cabriolet had a
curb weight of more than 4,000 pounds,
which is about what a GMC Canyon pickup
truck with V-8 weighs.
Fuel mileage isn’t the best for the four-seat
E550, and it uses premium gasoline. The fed-
eral government rating is just 15 miles per
gallon in city driving and 22 mpg on the high-
way. My test driving average was less than 19
mpg, but I didn’t try to maximize mileage.
The strong power from the throaty V-8 was
intoxicating and I enjoyed the rush that came
when I pressed firmly on the accelerator. Peak
torque is 391 foot-pounds, and it comes on at
2,800 rpm and holds to 4,800 rpm. This is
enough for a zero-to-60-mile-an-hour sprint
in just 5.1 seconds, according to Mercedes.
The base engine, a 3.5-liter V-6, generates
258 foot-pounds of torque starting at 2,400
rpm.
The Mercedes has little “arms” that bring
the front-seat shoulder belts forward so driver
and passenger don’t have to twist around to
grab them after they get in the car.
The two back seats are nicely cushioned
and sculpted. But they remain a bit cramped
in legroom and, when the roof is on, head-
room.
I used every bit of the 8.8 cubic feet of trunk
space when the roof was folded down. When
the roof was atop the car, I had a full 11.8
cubic feet of storage room in the trunk.
Last month, the 2011 E-Class Cabriolet was
among C- and other E-Class models named in
a safety recall of 85,300 cars. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a
loss of power steering fluid could lead impair
a driver’s ability to steer properly.
Convertibles aren’t the only new models for
the E-Class line. There’s a new, fifth-genera-
tion, 2011 E-Class Wagon, too.

Conan O’Brien
ready for cozy
new program
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURBANK — Conan O’Brien is ready to

reach out and touch the audience in his cozy
new studio — if the lawyers don’t stop him.
O’Brien says he wanted an intimate atmos-
phere for his late-night TBS show, which
launches 11 p.m. EST Monday. At NBC’s
“Tonight Show,” he was given a large studio that
held more than 300 people. For “Conan,”
O’Brien is holding court in a smaller, 250-seat
house and will stand about a dozen feet away
from the audience during his opening mono-
logue.
“I really want to be able to walk over and
touch people, which probably I’m going to get
in trouble for. I’m finding out through my
lawyers that not everybody likes that,” O’Brien
joked.
It was his post-“Tonight” comedy and music
tour that pointed him toward a smaller set, one
that evokes the atmosphere of theater spaces in
which he played nationally, O’Brien said. The
audience seats are on a sharper rake, or slant,
than usual to add to the studio’s theater
ambiance.
“I really like the feeling of a theater and I
liked the sense that the show had a ‘this is hap-
pening right now feel,”’ O’Brien said. By Julio Lara

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
Spare Stage’s award-winning pro-
duction of Yasmina Reza’s The
Unexpected Man is back for a limited
run at EXIT Theatre. The premise is
simple, the execution delightful: A man
and a woman are the only occupants of a
compartment of a passenger train going
from Paris to Frankfurt. He is a well-
known author engrossed with a trouble-
some family situation; she is an ardent
fan who immediately recognizes him.
They do not engage in conversation, but
their inner thoughts, reflecting on life,
love and each other, are shared with the
audience. Veteran actors Ken Ruta and
Susan Maeder deftly handle this well-
crafted small-scale piece by the author
of Art and God of Carnage. 90 minutes
without intermission. Directed by
Stephen Drewes. Through Nov. 14.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
156 Eddy St. (at Taylor Street), San
Francisco. The mid-block doorway leads

contain a café and three theatres. Seating

Polenta makes delicious lasasgna
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For most people, the only time
lasagna lands on the weeknight
table is when they prepare it ahead
during the weekend. Or when it
came out of a box.
Even the no-boil noodles usually
are too much trouble for Monday-
through-Friday cooking. That’s why
I like to use prepared polenta (the
sort sold in shelf-stable tubes).
Using polenta instead of noodles not
only is faster and easier, it also pro-
duces a heartier meal.
Because the polenta is already
cooked and only needs heating, all
you have to do to assemble the
lasagna is slice the polenta, layer it
with cheese, sauce and whatever
else motivates you, then pop it in the
oven. Because polenta comes in a
variety of flavors, it also is an effort-
less way to add extra flavor to the
dish.
I kept this recipe pretty basic. The
sauce is just jarred pasta sauce doc-
tored with chopped Italian-style
chicken sausage. But you could eas-
ily add whatever you like, as well as
add additional layers of vegetables,
including thinly sliced onions, pep-
pers, mushrooms, even roasted
slices of eggplant.
Just be aware that the more you add
and the deeper you make the lasagna,
the longer it will take to cook.

Start to finish: 45 minutes (10

Servings: 6
Two 18-ounce tubes prepared
polenta
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
(divided)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups jarred pasta sauce
6 ounces Italian-style cooked
chicken sausages, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 2-
quart casserole dish with cooking
spray.
Slice each tube of polenta into
9 rounds. Arrange 9 rounds in a
single layer over the bottom of

the pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together
the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the moz-
zarella, garlic powder, pepper and
egg. Spread the mixture in an even
layer over the polenta.
In a small bowl, mix together the
pasta sauce and chopped sausage.
Spread half of the mixture over the
cheese. Arrange the remaining 9
rounds of polenta in a single layer
over the sauce, then top with the
remaining sauce.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and
the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella
over the sauce. Spray a sheet of foil
with cooking spray, then use it to
cover the lasagna and bake for 20
minutes. Remove the foil and bake
for another 15 minutes, or until the
cheese is lightly browned. Let stand
for 5 minutes before serving.

Banana bread, coffee
cake:Together at last!
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If I’m going to bother to bake
something, it had better be good.
And it needs to be easy and cre-
ate as little mess as possible. If it
also could combine the toasty,
warm, cinnamony flavors of my
favorite baked goods — banana
bread, coffee cake and streusel top-
pings — the chances of me actual-
ly cranking up the oven increase
dramatically.
Thus was the inspiration for
these muffins, which are made
entirely in the food processor, call
for no unusual ingredients, come
together in about 10 minutes, bake
in just about 20 minutes, and have
a flavor that will make you want to
eat until your stomach hurts.
To take these even more over the
top, you could drizzle them with
caramel sauce just before serving
and/or add white chocolate chips
to the batter before baking. If for
some reason you wanted to make
these healthier, you could use
white whole-wheat flour instead of
all-purpose.

appearances through May

By Mike Householder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Aretha Franklin is canceling
all concert dates and personal appearances
through May on the orders of her doctors, the
singer’s spokeswoman said Thursday.
The news came two days after the announce-
ment that Franklin had been released over the
weekend from a Detroit hospital following a
brief stay. Publicist Tracey Jordan said Tuesday
Franklin was “resting comfortably at home, but
is anxious to get back on the road to perform
for her countless fans around the world.”
Jordan wouldn’t say Thursday whether the
events were related, nor did she offer any
details about the 68-year-old Franklin’s condi-
tion.
“Her doctors have required her” to cancel the
appearances, Jordan told the Associated Press.
It’s been a tumultuous several months for the
Queen of Soul, whose hits include “(You Make
Me Feel Like) A Natural
Woman,” “Chain of Fools”
and her signature song,
“Respect.”
Her adult son, Eddie,
was beaten by three men at
a Detroit gas station in
September. And a month
earlier, she broke ribs in a
Aretha Franklin fall, causing her to miss
two free concerts in New
York.
One of the shows now being canceled is a
Christmas concert scheduled for Detroit’s Fox
Theatre on Dec. 9. Theater operator Olympia
Entertainment said the show was being called
off “due to medical reasons.”
Franklin, one of the most honored singers in
American history, has won numerous
Grammys, the National Medal of Arts, the
Presidential Medal of Freedom and has been
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
eight of the features at this year’s festival —
from countries such as Cuba, Venezuela,
Argentina, Mexico and Spain.
Perel is famous for finding the best and dis-
playing it to festival audiences. Two years ago,
the festival stretched throughout the Bay Area in
13 theaters. Now that is has a single home, Perel
has embraced the challenge of condensing the
program and featuring only the best.
“I have been committed for the last 15 years
to bring Latino excellence in filmmaking to the
Bay Area,” Perel said. “Because of the great
opportunity that I have to be in touch with many
filmmakers at the festivals where I am invited as
a juror, my work gets easier — I am able to see
... firsthand many works that premiere in these
festivals, (and) then I’m able to introduce these
gems to the U.S.”
This year alone, Perel has served as a juror at
the Monterrey, San Miguel and Guanajuato film
festivals.
The festival kicks off tonight with “Havana
Eva,” a story of an aspiring fashion designer
stuck in Fidel Castro’s Cuba. “Eva,” won Best
Picture at the Los Angeles International Latino
Friday night will be capped off by “Oveja
Negra,” another award-winning film (this time
from Guadalajara, Mexico’s film festival)
directed by Humberto Hinojosa. Six more films
and four shorts will fill the weekend.
“This event is more important than ever for
Latinos in this country,” Perel said. “The reason
I started the ILFF 15 years ago was because of
a political climate similar to the one we have
now. Latinos were ignored on the big screen, or
stereotyped to the extreme. Having an event that
celebrates Latino culture is crucial to recognize
the talent and creativity that Latinos bring to the
arts.
“It is also important for Latinos to come and
see these unique films because it is a way to
connect with their roots, understand where they
come from, share images that are familiar, val-
ues that are common to all of us. Our image as
a respected community is enhanced thanks to
the presence of thought-provoking, exciting and
illuminating films.”

At her age, Lamb is used to competing
against women more than half her age,
although she does not consider herself to be a
competitive person.
One of her opponents for the West Coast
title, however, considers herself to be very
competitive.
Stacy Levichev dances at Poletential, a
Redwood City studio, and grew up dancing
ballet. Although she has only been dancing on
the pole for about seven months, her audition
tape was good enough to qualify her for
Saturday’s event.
“Yes, I’m competitive. I want to win,”
Levichev said.
Levichev is only 19 years old and graduat-
ed from Palo Alto High School in 2008.
She went to Poletential for the first time ear-
lier this year because her mother brought her
there.
“I was apprehensive at first because of the
perception pole dancing has,” Levichev said.
“But I fell in love with it right away.”
Levichev, who studies neuroscience and
physiology at the University of California
at San Diego, was born in Russia and
grew up in Israel, where she was classi-
cally trained in ballet.

their cities. Other cities such as Belmont,
Burlingame and Redwood City are still
weighing their legal options.
Burlingame Mayor Cathy Baylock, who has
helped lead the charge against an elevated
train platform in her city, said she hoped the
decision will give some breathing room to
WEEKEND JOURNAL
however. “In ballet. You are never good
enough. The pole dancing community is very
supportive, unlike ballet,” Levichev.
Poletential opened in 2006 and is owned by
Pam Courcier and Christina Kish.
“Pole fitness and dance is an amazing com-
bination of self-expression with physical chal-
lenge whether you are doing it for a regular
workout, performance or sport,” Kish said.
“As a sport, pole fitness and dance challenges
athletes on an entirely new level and the per-
formances are an ‘edge-of-your-seat’ thrill-
ride to watch.”
Dancers will be judged on two routines, a
shorter compulsory dance and longer, more
freestyle form of dance.
Lamb will be dancing to Robert Palmer’s
“Addicted to Love” and the Scorpions’ “Still
Loving You,” big hits from the ’80s.
Levichev will be dancing to more contem-
porary music, however.
She will be dancing to Puscifer’s “Rev
22:20” and Pink Martini’s “Veronique.”
Levichev has most of the technical aspects
of her routines down and is working on being
more expressive on the pole.
The competition is 7 p.m. (doors open at 5
p.m.), Saturday, the Fox Theatre, 2223
Broadway, Redwood City. Tickets range from
$45 to $85.

“Hopefully now that the accelerated time-
line for the [American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act] funding is removed, the
HSRA will take the time to do a thorough
[environmental impact review] including all
alternatives,” Baylock said.
The rail authority is planning a route with
electrified bullet trains traveling from Los
Angeles to San Francisco at a cost of more
than $40 billion. It received a significant boost
when voters approved Proposition 1A, a $9.95
billion bond in November 2008.
A draft environmental impact report for the
Peninsula section of the line is expected to be
released in December. That document will be
the basis for how the authority decides to con-
struct the project, from both a cost and engi-
neering standpoint.
The rail authority board is scheduled to
select whether the first segment will connect
Fresno to Merced or Bakersfield at its
December meeting. The selection of a heavy
maintenance facility will not be a part of that
decision, and will not be decided until after
the environmental review process has been
completed, according to the authority.
The entire 800-mile train line is expected to
be completed in 2020.

More eruptions at deadly Indonesian volcano

By Slamet Riyadi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia —
Eruptions at Indonesia’s deadly vol-
cano appeared to be intensifying
Friday, as clouds of searing gas and
ash cascaded down the mountain,
torching homes in one slope-side
village and triggering a chaotic mid-
night evacuation.
Hospital workers said a 3-year-
old girl was killed and more than 50
people injured — most with severe
burns.
Men with ash-covered faces
streamed down Mount Merapi on
motorcycles followed by truckloads
of women and children as officials
announced over loudspeakers that
they were expanding the volcano’s
“danger zone” for the second day in
a row.
Even staff at the mountain’s main
monitoring post were told to move
farther away from the glowing
crater.
Mount Merapi, which means
“Fire Mountain,” is one of the
world’s most active volcanoes.
But even those who have dedicat-
ed a lifetime to studying it have
been baffled by its erratic behavior
since it burst back to life on Oct. 26
— an eruption that has been fol-
lowed by more than a dozen other
powerful blasts and thousands of
volcanic tremors.
They’d earlier hoped that would
result in a long, slow release of
energy.
“But we have no idea what to
expect now,” said Surono, a state
expert on volcanos, adding that he
has never seen the needle on
Merapi’s seismograph working with
such intensity.
The fear is that a new lava dome
forming in the mouth of the crater
will collapse, triggering a deadly
surge of up to 1,800 degree
Fahrenheit (1,000 degree Celsius)
ash and gas — known to experts as
pyroclastic flows — at speeds of 60
miles per hour (100 kilometers per
hour).
More than 75,000 people living
along Merapi’s fertile slopes have
been evacuated to crowded emer-
gency shelters far from the crater,
though some return to their villages
during periods of calm to check on
their livestock and homes.
More than 80 families live in
Bronggang, the village hit just
before midnight Friday, which is
located 9 miles (15 kilometers)
from the crater, well inside the dan-
ger zone.
It was not immediately clear why
they hadn’t been evacuated.
A 3-year-old girl was killed in the
inferno, said Pangardi, a forensic REUTERS
expert at Sardjito hospital, which A farmer looks at Mount Merapi volcano as it erupts,from Wukirsari village
was treating the wounded. in Sleman,near the ancient city of Yogyakarta,Indonesia.

Aside from known cuts, Boesch’s Clients of the in-home support jump from September 2009 but that

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
ed $5.4 billion in federal assistance,
$3.3 billion in revised revenue pro-
jections and $2.7 billion in so-called
“other solutions.” Before signing off
on the budget, Schwarzenegger first
vetoed $963 million in general fund
spending.
Echoing previous years, more than
96 percent of the line-item vetoes
occurred in the health and social
services arenas, according to an
analysis by County Manager David
Boesch.
The budget signature gave local
officials the green light to pencil out
what the cuts and decisions mean for
San Mateo County.
Boesch will deliver a report on the
budget to the Board of Supervisors
Tuesday.
evaluation also includes dire possibil-
ities. For example, officials fear the
state may raid transportation funds
before Proposition 26 takes effect; if
so, they estimated the county’s $16
million road fund being decimated,
leading to service cuts in the unincor-
porated areas. Proposition 26 makes
it harder for the state to levy new fees
by requiring a two-thirds majority
approval.
Although far from positive news,
the cuts are not as bad as anticipated
and the 2010-11 budget built in the
assumption of a $20 million hit from
the state, said county spokesman
Marshall Wilson.
Some of the cuts won’t have any
further impact to the county as fund-
ing wasn’t including in the budget,
such as money for the Proposition 36
substance abuse offender treatment
program. Others, like health pro-
grams for children, will require some
transition to school districts.
services are estimated to see four less
hours of care per month or one less
hour of care per week. Before the 3.6
percent across-the-board reduction in
authorized hours, clients received an
average of 114 hours of care monthly.
Aging and Adult Services discon-
tinued its contract with Second
Harvest for the brown bag meal pro-
gram and community providers of
the Alzheimer’s day care resource
centers are struggling to continue.
Cuts like a reduction in coverage
for some over-the-counter drugs are a
financial pinch on patients but not on
the overall Health System Budget.
Others like $18 million in statewide
funding for immunization has no
local impact because the county
receives federal money for that serv-
ice.
The Human Services Agency esti-
mates losing $1.5 million because of
reductions to Medi-Cal, a program
that has seen a 6 percent caseload
has not received a cost-of-doing-busi-
ness adjustment for the last three fis-
cal years.
The county also estimates $1.6
million loss in Child Welfare
Services but the hit was already
including in the 2010-11 budget.
On the flip side, HSA anticipates
an increase of at least $500,000 in
food stamp administration based on a
38 percent increase in cases.
The Sheriff’s Office predicts losing
$1.7 million for public safety pro-
grams if the Legislature fails to
extend the Vehicle License Fee
beyond the June 30, 2011 expiration.
The county will also get a $1.6 mil-
lion reimbursement for costs from the
May 19, 2009 statewide special elec-
tion.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9
a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9 in Board
Chambers, 400 County Government
Center, Redwood City.
