More than 200 San Carlos homes
no longer need flood insurance
under recently redrawn maps and
those properties left in the ood
plain will pay reduced premiums.
The new ood insurance rate map
issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency takes effect
Oct. 16 and the San Carlos City
Council Monday night will consider
amending its city code to reect the
changes and accommodate any
future remapping based on new
development or infrastructure
improvements.
The remapping is due in large part
to the Caltrain grade separation that
happened in the 1990s, according to
Building Ofcial Christopher Valley
who is recommending the code
amendment at the upcoming meet-
ing.
More than 200 properties were
removed from the ood plain area
on the updated map and all have
been notied already by the city.
According to the ood map, the
properties fall between El Camino
Real and just past Laurel Street in a
D-shaped pattern across Arroyo and
Greenwood avenues.
San Carlos remains eligible for
federal aid if ood-related damage
happens because it participates in
the National Flood Insurance
Program and regulates development
in areas labeled as ood hazards.
The city recently also qualied to
participate in the programs

Debt, economics, the future, mod-
ernization in many ways, the six-
way battle for three seats on the
countys Harbor District Board of
Commissioners has the same issues
as other elections on the Nov. 6 bal-
lot.
But shing, ferries, beaches and
water quality? Those arent con-
cerns that come up in too many
other local races but are key for
those seeking a spot on the commis-
sion.
The district, which formed in
1933, runs both Pillar Point Harbor
in Princeton and Oyster Point
Marina/Park in South San
Francisco. While under the same
management umbrella, the two har-
bors are quite different. Pillar Point
is a hub for commercial shermen
and tourist-drawing events like the
Mavericks surf competition while
Oyster Point just became home to a
new high-speed ferry service cater-
ing in large part to the citys biotech
hub.
The November race is an even
mix of incumbents seeking a return
to ofce and newcomers hoping for
the chance to join. Pietro Parravano,
Leo Padreddii and Will Holsinger
already sit on the board while
Sabrina Brennan, Neil Merrilees
and Brandon Kwon are ghting to
knock one of the incumbents out of
the running. Kwon did not respond
to inquiries but the others participat-
ed in in-house interviews with the
Harbor District
commission has
six candidates

Ricki Lake brings updated
talk show, life to television
LOS ANGELES Ricki Lake was a
babe in the talk show woods when her
syndicated program launched nearly two
decades ago.
Looking back at the 24-year-old
actress she was then, Lake pronounces
the 1993 career move a little bit pre-
sumptous, although Ricki Lake
quickly won over a young-adult audi-
ence that wanted a peppy take on life
and love from someone like them.
I didnt know what I was signing up
for. I didnt know how to host a show. I
didnt know who I was or have a point of
view. I basically was grateful to have the
job, recalls Lake. I thought, Great, I
can pay my rent for six months.
Lake, who turns 44 this month, has
been changed by
ma r r i a ge ,
children,
divorce
a n d
remar-
riage.
S o
have her ambitions for her return to the
daytime arena with The Ricki Lake
Show, debuting Monday (check local
listings).
I have a specic point of view and a
vision and a sense of who I am at this
point in my life, she said. Not that I
have it all gured out, but growth comes
with age and life experience.
How does she envision herself as a
grown-up host? Like Oprah Winfrey,
whose departure from daily syndication
created the opening for Lake and a
clutch of others with new daytime
shows, including Katie Couric, Steve
Harvey and Jeff Probst.
Its a specic version of Oprah that
Lake has in mind, one circa the midpoint
of Winfreys long talk-show career and
before she became a billionaire.
Lake, who has gained experience
without losing her exuberance, launches
into a rapid-re description to illustrate.
When she was in the audience, run-
ning around, had her arm around an
audience member, you felt she under-
stood you, related to you, wasnt on any
higher level than you, Lake said. And
you felt like your voice was heard.
Thats the show Im looking to do.
Whats on the agenda? According to a
release, the rst weeks topics include
weight loss and body image; a look at
the complicated world of hormones;
mastering social media; the lives of
female veterans and virginity 2.0, an
exploration of sexuality.
Expect fun and spontaneity but also
seriousness of purpose, Lake said:
Despite resistance from studio execu-
tives, she insisted on a show examining
the issue of suicide. Her guests include
dancer Mark Ballas, who became a
friend when he and Lake competed on
Dancing with the Stars and who lost a
relative to suicide. Theres also a young
survivor whose story Lake calls com-
pelling and hopeful.
This is why Im coming back to day-
time. I have no doubt that the show will
help people, she said. Im not gonna
do cheating baby daddies anymore, but
well do surviving indelity, an hour
where we talk about real tools people
can use.
Lake, who says shes been an open
book since she started her career as an 18-
year-old in John Waters lm Hairspray,
said shell be candid on the show because
I dont know how else to be.
I certainly say too much at times, and
my husband cringes when I talk about
our sex life or whatever, she said. But
I feel theres a certain responsibility I
have with my audience. If theyre going
to be forthcoming with me about their
personal lives, then I have to be at least
somewhat forthcoming about mine.
Lakes show has a good shot at work-
ing, one expert said, in part because its
well-positioned on most TV stations,
including in some larger markets where
it airs on CW afliates that drew a sig-
nicant female audience.

orld War II was over in the mid-
1940s and peace had come to San
Mateo County. The 447-plus
square miles of land huddled between the San
Francisco Bay and the Pacic Ocean had
about 111,000 people living in it. The popula-
tion would see a doubling of the population to
235,000. The land that had been developed
was mainly to the east of the 150-year-old El
Camino Real and the difcult hilly area to the
west of it was mainly what was left to be
developed. Highway 101 would be realigned
in the mid-1940s so that two main avenues
could be used to ow up and down the
Peninsula.
In the mid-1940s, a man named Henry
Doelger was having illusions about the vast
expanses of sandy hills and
deep gullies becoming a
housing project. He bought
up 1,300 acres of land in the
Westlake area and proceeded
to build low-priced houses
for the masses. His next
thoughts were about supplying this communi-
ty with food, furniture, clothes, paint, beds,
etc. Up to now, the center of the many cities
was the shopping areas but, with the advent of
cars available after the war, these centers were
limited in supplying all of the needs of the
community. He devised a revolutionary idea
called a mall where all of the shops needed

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Even after 27 years of battling Alzheimers
disease, Ruth Gay never forgets why she
keeps forging onward. Its her ability to still
remember that drives her.
I think Ive gained even more passion,
Gay, director of public policy and advocacy of
the Alzheimers Association of Northern
California and Nevada, said of her career.
Because the urgency is much more to me
now than it was 27 years ago.
Gay will discuss the implications of
Alzheimers disease at a presentation spon-
sored by the San Mateo County Commission
on Aging this morning at the Pacifica
Community Center.
The presentation is especially important to
a county in which approximately 91,000
people of its 718,000 residents are seniors,
said Denis OSullivan, chair of the San Mateo
County Commission on Aging. Here in San
Mateo County, we have a high number of res-
idents who are seniors and we have a much
higher proportion of older adults than the state
average.
Next 20 years
Knowing that the prevalence of the disease
will increase by at least 50 percent to 70 per-
cent in the next 20 years, Gay feels San Mateo
is a county that needs to be aware of the facts.
By 2030, the segment of the U.S. popula-
tion age 65 years and older is expected to dou-
ble and the estimated 71 million older
Americans will become approximately 20
percent of the total population, Gay said. By
2030, the number of people age 65 and older
with Alzheimers dis-
ease is estimated to
reach 7.7 million, a 50
percent increase from
the 5.2 million ages 65
and older currently
affected.
Were at 5.4 million
right now. And were
talking about a dou-
bling in the next 20 to
30 years, she said.
Gay has devoted
years to her research on
Alzheimers. Before
working with the Alzheimers Association,
she spent time with families caring for some-
body with the disease and also with people
who were in the early stages of the disease.
Ive gained an understanding of the
courage it takes to deal with, over a long peri-
od of time, a disease whereby somebody is
losing the ability to know you, thank you, be
aware of the care that is being provided for
them, Gay said.
Gays ability to understand what it means
for families to live with this disease and to see
rsthand what its like for a patient to go
through the stages of the disease makes her
both socially and medically knowledgeable
on the subject.
Thats what I gained by working with fam-
ilies, Gay said, (its) really seeing where
these gaps are and hopefully trying to apply it
to my work with the policy.
Free event
Gay will address the county in her presen-
tation entitled From Out of the Shadows in
Pacica from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m. The event is
free and open to the public.
I think Alzheimers for many years has
been a disease that many people just didnt
talk about, Gay said. And now that were
starting to see more public awareness and
were starting to talk about the stigma
attached to the disease, were starting to make
it OK for people to deal with and work with
and ask for help with this disease. I think
were bringing it out of the shadows and into
a place where we can fully see the many
things that need to be done to address this ill-
ness.

Driver in fatal solo crash is
Don Picos restaurant owner
The California Highway Patrol is
releasing more information about a
car crash that killed a driver on
interstate Highway 280 in San
Bruno late Saturday night.
The driver has been identied as
51-year-old San Bruno resident
Isaac Mejia, according to the county
coroners ofce. He is the owner of
Don Picos restaurant on El Camino
Real in San Bruno.
Just after 11 p.m., Mejia was
heading north on interstate Highway
280 near the interstate Highway 380
connector in San Bruno when his
Mercedes smashed into the concrete
wall on the east side of the roadway,
according to the CHP.
The force of the crash sent the car
into a guardrail, across four lanes of
trafc and into the highways center
divider. The car came to rest in the
roadways center median, according
to the CHP.
Emergency responders said Mejia
was unresponsive and were unable
to detect his pulse. He was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are trying to deter-
mine whether Mejia died solely due
to injuries suffered in the crash or
for medical reasons.
The cause of the crash is under
investigation. No other vehicles were
involved in the collision, although a
complete shutdown of the roadway
around the scene of the crash for about
30 minutes early Sunday morning
caused signicant delays in the area.
Man arrested following
injury accident
A San Francisco man was arrested
on drunk driving charges this week
after a head-on collision with anoth-
er car that seriously injured four
people, according to South San
Francisco police.
Aziz Shatara was driving north on
the 2200 block of Gellert Boulevard
in South San Francisco around 9:15
p.m. on Thursday when he lost con-
trol of his car, according to police.
His car collided head on with a
southbound vehicle, causing serious
injuries to both drivers and two pas-
sengers. All are expected to survive,
police said.
Aziz, 24, was arrested on suspi-
cion of driving under the inuence
of alcohol.
Anyone with information on this
incident is asked to call South San
Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
Citibank robbed by man
who displayed note to teller
A San Bruno bank was robbed
Saturday morning by a man who
showed a teller a note demanding
money, police said.
The robbery occurred around 10
a.m. at the Citibank at 475 San
Mateo Ave., according to Sgt.
Dermot Downes.
After the man obtained money
from the teller, he left the bank and
was last seen driving east on Sylvan
Avenue in a white two-door vehicle,
possibly a Hyundai.
The suspect was described as a
black male in his 20s, 6 feet tall with
a slim build. He was wearing a lime
green hooded sweatshirt with a
skeletal design on the front, and a
black baseball hat.
Anyone with information on this
case is asked to call police at (650)
616-7100.
Man arrested after
alleged iPhone purchase
with fake ID, credit card
An Oakland man was arrested
Friday after he was allegedly caught
trying to buy an iPhone at a San
Carlos Best Buy with a fake ID and
altered credit cards, the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Office said
Sunday.
Larry Levi fled the Industrial
Road store after Sheriffs deputies
were alerted around 3:30 p.m. to the
attempted purchase, Lt. Larry
Schumaker said.
Deputies and a police dog pursued
him and searched the area around
the nearby Home Depot and Lucky
Supermarket, before nding Levi
hiding under a tarp.
Levi was treated for a dog bite
received during his capture and
arrested on suspicion of commercial
burglary and forgery.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Parents who
send their children to private
schools in California are much more
likely to opt out of immunizations
than their public school counter-
parts, an Associated Press analysis
has found, and not even the recent
re-emergence of whooping cough
has halted the downward trajectory
of vaccinations among these stu-
dents.
The state surveys all schools with
at least 10 kindergartners to deter-
mine how many have all the recom-
mended immunizations. The AP
analyzed that data and found the
percentage of children in private
schools who forego some or all vac-
cinations is more than two times
greater than in public schools.
More troubling to public health
ofcials is that the number of chil-
dren entering private schools with-
out all of their shots jumped by 10
percent last year, while the opt-out
rate held steady in public schools
for the rst time since 2004.
Public health ofcials believe that
an immunization rate of at least 90
percent in all communities, includ-
ing schools, is critical to minimizing
the potential for a disease outbreak.
About 15 percent of the 1,650 pri-
vate schools surveyed by the state
failed to reach that threshold, com-
pared with 5 percent of public
schools.
There were 110 private schools
statewide where more than half the
kindergartners skipped some or all
of their shots, according to APs
analysis, with Highland Hall
Waldorf School in Northridge
where 84 percent opted out top-
ping the list.
Parents cite a variety of reasons
for not immunizing their children,
among them: religious values, con-
cerns the shots themselves could
cause illness and a belief that allow-
ing children to get sick helps them
to build a stronger immune system.
Likewise, theres no single explana-
tion that accounts for why so many
more parents who send their chil-
dren to private schools apparently
share a suspicion of immunizations.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The controversial plan for a nine-
home subdivision on Finger Avenue
in Redwood City is coming back for
environmental approval after more
than nine hours of mediation
between the developer and neigh-
bors who think selling some of the
land may be an answer.
City staff is recommending the
City Council approve the nine-lot
proposal after moving the houses on
three parcels away from the street
and the top of the creek bank.
Meanwhile, both sides agreed to
work on an acquisition deal.
The City Council will consider the
recommendation and possible alter-
natives at a reopened public hearing
Monday night. The previous hearing
on July 9 ended with the council
shelving a vote on the environmental
impact report and ordering the two
opposing sides to work on a solution
with a third-party mediator.
The project, which was rst pro-
posed in 2006, has already been the
subject of a lawsuit and stipulated
judgment. The proposal calls for
demolishing six existing homes at
50, 80 and 88 Finger Ave. and
replacing them with nine houses and
a U-shaped private road on the 1.69-
acre site
The Friends of Cordilleras Creek
and Finger Avenue Pride Committee
sued the city over the initial envi-
ronmental review and the city set-
tled by sending the plan back to the
drawing board with direction to
specically look at aesthetics, cul-
tural resources, trafc safety, park-
ing and overall neighborhood com-
patibility. The new plan brought for-
ward in July called for a 25-foot
creek setback to meet the citys
adopted storm water control ordi-
nance and ease concerns raised in
the lawsuit about runoff and ero-
sion. The blueprint also called for
no size increases in four of the lots,
no decrease in front yard setbacks
for those lots garages and no tree
removals other than the 10 already
proposed.
When the City Council pushed for
mediation, developer Kirk
McGowan suggested the judgment
was already the solution but agreed
to try. The rst discussion lasted
seven hours and ended with the two
factions still at loggerheads. A sec-
ond two-and-a-half hour meeting
found agreement on four elements:
setting the houses back 25 feet from
the top of the creek where possible;
modify the setback of two houses to
resemble that of adjoining houses,
select experts to protect the native
trees and other biological resources;
and, come to an agreement with the
developer on a purchase price and
process for sale of some lots to
neighborhood residents as undevel-
oped lots.
The Redwood City Council meets
7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10 at City
Hall, 1017 Middlefield Ave.,

BOSTON Mitt Romney said
he would retain some popular parts
of the new health care law he has
pledged to repeal, while President
Barack Obama focused attention in
all-important Florida on the
Republican tickets stand on
Medicare, an issue thats been more
favorable to Democrats.
Romney also said it was a mis-
take for congressional Republicans
to go along with the White House
on a budget deal that has set up big
automatic spending cuts in defense
and elsewhere in the new year. His
running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan,
helped steer that
a g r e e m e n t
t h r o u g h
Congress.
Health care
grabbed the
s p o t l i g h t
Sunday, less
than months
from Election
Day in the dead-
locked race.
Romney, appearing on NBCs
Meet the Press for the rst time in
the campaign and the first time
since June 28, 2009, said he would
replace Obamas health overhaul
with a plan entirely his own, yet
would keep
some popular
provisions.
Im not get-
ting rid of all of
health care
reform. Of
course, there are
a number of
things that I like
in health care
reform that Im going to put in
place, Romney said in the inter-
view taped Friday and Saturday. He
cited coverage for people with med-
ical conditions and new insurance
marketplaces.
Romneys aides said that was
consistent with his previous posi-
tion that those who havent had a
gap in coverage shouldnt be denied
coverage.
But the comments brought
renewed attention to the similarities
between Obamas plan and the one
Romney championed when he was
Massachusetts governor, which
included both protections for health
conditions and an individual man-
date that the Republican has since
railed against.
The GOP nominee, who attended
church in Boston before debate
practice sessions, didnt offer
specics for how hed deal with the
affordability of insurance, but sug-
gested competition would help
bring down costs. For seniors,
Romney has called for restructuring
Medicare by giving retirees a gov-
ernment payment that they would
use to choose between traditional
Medicare and private insurance.
Obama, campaign for a second
day in Florida, tried to move past a
weak jobs report Friday and high-
light the impact of Romneys pro-
posals on older workers and those
nearing retirement.
The president promoted a study
showing that future retirees under
Romneys plan would pay tens of
thousands more for health care over
their retirement period.

NEW YORK With its huge
reecting pools, ringed by waterfalls
and skyscrapers, and a cavernous
underground museum still under
construction, the National Sept. 11
Memorial and Museum at the World
Trade Center is an awesome specta-
cle that moved and inspired some
4.5 million visitors in its rst year.
But all that eye-welling magni-
cence comes with a jaw-dropping
price tag. The foundation that runs
the memorial estimates that once the
roughly $700 million project is
complete, the memorial and muse-
um will together cost $60 million a
year to operate.
The anticipated cost has bothered
some critics and raised concerns
even among the memorials allies
that the budget may be unsustainable
without a hefty government subsidy.
By comparison, the National Park
Service budgeted $8.4 million this
year to operate and maintain
Gettysburg National Military Park
and $3.6 million for the monument
that includes the USS Arizona
Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Running
Arlington National Cemetery,
which has more than 14,000 graves
and receives 4 million visitors a
year, costs $45 million annually.
Ofcials at the 9/11 memorial say
they face unique challenges that
make comparisons to other national
memorials difcult.
The foundation plans to spend at
least a fth of its operating budget, or
around $12 million per year, on pri-
vate security because of terrorism
fears. Visitors to the memorial plaza
pass through airport-like security,
and armed guards patrol the grounds.
The fact of the matter is that this
was a place that was attacked
twice, said Joseph Daniels, the
foundations president and chief
executive.

CHICAGO Parents in the

say they dont know what theyll do
if teachers strike Monday.
Chicago Public Schools plans to
keep some schools open for a half-

be any instruction.
Parent Doug Danby says his chil-
drens school will be closed and he
doesnt want to send them to anoth-
er school, especially when they
might not know anybody and he
doesnt know wholl be watching
them. But he works full time, so
there arent many options.

WORLD 8
By Lara Jakes
BAGHDAD Iraqs fugitive
Sunni vice president was sentenced
Sunday to death by hanging on
charges he masterminded death
squads against rivals in a terror trial
that has fueled sectarian tensions in
the country. Underscoring the insta-
bility, insurgents unleashed an
onslaught of bombings and shootings
across Iraq, killing at least 92 people
in one of the deadliest days this year.
Its unlikely that the attacks in 13
cities were all timed to coincide with
the afternoon verdict that capped a
monthslong case
against Vice
President Tariq
al-Hashemi, a
longtime foe of
Shiite Prime
Minister Nouri
al-Maliki. Still,
taken together,
the violence and
verdict could
energize Sunni
insurgents bent on returning Iraq to
the brink of civil war by targeting
Shiites and undermining the govern-
ment.
Al-Hashemi ed to Turkey in the
months after the Shiite-led govern-
ment accused him of playing a role in
150 bombings, assassinations and
other attacks from 2005 to 2011
years in which the country was mired
in retaliatory sectarian violence that
followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion
that ousted Saddam Husseins Sunni
regime. Most of the attacks were
allegedly carried out by al-Hashemis
bodyguards and other employees,
and largely targeted government of-
cials, security forces and Shiite pil-
grims.
The vice president declined to
immediately comment on the verdict
after meeting with the Turkish
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
in Ankara. He said he would tackle
this issue in a statement in coming
hours.
The politically charged case
which was announced the day after
U.S. troops withdrew from the coun-
try last December sparked a gov-
ernment crisis and fueled Sunni
Muslim and Kurdish resentment
against al-Maliki, whom critics say is
monopolizing power.
Violence has ebbed signicantly,
but insurgents continue to stage high-
prole bombings and shooting ram-
pages. Al-Qaidas Iraq branch has
promised a comeback in predominant-
ly Sunni areas from which it was rout-
ed by the U.S. and its local allies after
sectarian ghting peaked in 2007.
These attacks show al-Qaidas
ability to hit any place in Iraq and at
any time, said Ali Salem, 40, an ele-
mentary school teacher in Baghdad.
The lack of security could take us
back to zero.
The worst violence on Sunday
struck the capital, where bombs
pounded a half-dozen neighborhoods
both Sunni and Shiite though-
out the day. But the deadliest attacks
in Baghdad hit Shiite areas Sunday
evening, hours after the al-Hashemi
verdict was announced.

BAMAKO, Mali Sixteen
Muslim preachers from a moderate
sect were shot dead in central Mali
as they traveled by road to a reli-
gious conference, the Malian and
Mauritanian governments said
Sunday. Early reports indicate that
the mens long beards aroused the
suspicion of Malis military, which
confused them for the extremists
who have taken over the nations
north.
The preachers were heading to the
gathering in Bamako when they
were executed in Diabaly, 267 miles
north of the capital. The dead
included at least 12 nationals of
Mauritania, the Mauritanian govern-
ment said in a government commu-
nique that blames Malian security
forces for executing the preachers.
A relative of two of the victims and
a Mali police ofcial conrmed this
version of events.
According to the statement
released via Mauritanias official
news agency, A group exercising
the activity of preaching, which
included 12 Mauritanians, were
killed Sunday by Malian security
forces.

AMMAN, Jordan A car bomb
ripped through Syrias largest city
of Aleppo on Sunday, killing at
least 17 people and wounding 40 in
one of the main battlegrounds of
the countrys civil war, state-run
media said.
Al-Qaida-style bombings have
become increasingly common in
Syria, and Western officials say
there is little doubt that Islamist
extremists, some associated with the
terror network, have made inroads
in the country as instability has
spread. But the main ghting force
looking to oust President Bashar
Assad is the Free Syrian Army, a
group made up largely of defected
Syrian soldiers.
Sundays blast came hours after a
Jordanian militant leader linked to
al-Qaida warned that his extremist
group will launch deadly attacks
to help the rebels in Syria topple
Assad.

BEIJING Survivors of a series
of earthquakes that killed 81 people
and injured more than 800 in a
mountainous area of southwestern
China were desperately waiting for
more aid to arrive Sunday as jolting
aftershocks kept fears high and hin-
dered rescue efforts.
The latest victim was a 2-year-old
child who was hit by a falling wall
as an aftershock struck Saturday
night, the state-run Xinhua News
Agency reported.
The first earthquakes struck
Friday in a region of small farms
and mines near the border between
Guizhou and Yunnan provinces,
where some of Chinas poorest peo-
ple live.
They toppled thousands of homes
and sent boulders cascading across
roads, and authorities evacuated
more than 200,000 villagers.
The area was still being jolted by
aftershocks Sunday, raising fears of
more injuries and fatalities.
Footage from China Central
Television showed rescuers and
sniffer dogs running past steep
slopes because of the risk of st-
sized stones tumbling down. It also
showed an ambulance stuck in
stones and debris.
Almost all of the 110,000 people
who live in Yiliang countys Jiaokui
town, about 3 kilometers (2 miles)
from the epicenter of one of the
earthquakes, had evacuated, but
many had no shelter and were wait-
ing for supplies, a town ofcial said
by telephone.
They are living in the open air
now, said the ofcial, who gave
only his surname, Xiao.

OPINION 9
Ban leaf blowers
Editor,
We are writing to commend Mayor
Brandt Grotte for his recent proposal to
ban the use of all leaf blowers within
San Mateo. We are grateful for his bold
stance on this important issue and
pledge him our full support.
The reasons to ban all leaf blowers
are plentiful: a huge decrease in air
quality due to constant churning of
dust, pollen and other particulates;
obnoxious noise; the spewing of toxic
fumes; environmental degradation to
the soil; and a detrimental health
impact on machine operators. The neg-
ative factors caused by these machines
far outweigh any benets.
We have spoken with hundreds of
San Mateo residents who also passion-
ately oppose the use of leaf blowers in
our community. We have been told
numerous stories of having dust blown
into their windows, incidences of
watching someone blow leaves and dirt
from the adjoining property onto theirs,
the disturbance to their daily lives by
the noise and reduction of air quality,
in addition to the disturbance to their
young children. It is true leaf blowers
subsidize cheaper gardening services.
However, the right of home owners to
save a little money each month should
not come at the cost of the health of
their neighbors.
San Mateo promotes itself as an envi-
ronmentally sound city with an image
of being sustainably responsible. If this
is in fact the case, it is time to put
words into action and become an envi-
ronmental leader by banning leaf blow-
ers outright. The entire City Council,
not just Mayor Grotte, needs to demon-
strate they understand the threat leaf
blowers pose to the health and well-
being of the community.
If you support this position please go
to Change.org, search for and sign the
petition on the Ban of Leaf Blowers in
San Mateo and your message will be
delivered directly to the mayor, City
Council and appropriate city ofcials.

Pension spiking
Editor,
The reported lack of oversight by the
California State Teachers Retirement
Fund as reported in the Sept. 6 edition
of the Daily Journal has resulted in
belated uncovering of hundreds of
instances of pension spiking.
Additional lump sum payments of
$147,000 (!) as well were paid to
school administrators already receiving
over $100,000 annual salary.
By the way, they are asking for a big
tax increase on the November ballot.
This time is going to be different, no
funds will be bestowed on overly gen-
erous pensions via spiking and lump
sum payments. They will work hard to
end the practice. To rescind the funds
already distributed would impact the
lifestyle of those retirees and cant rea-
sonably be expected which is why that
hasnt been suggested by the CSTRF.
Dont shortchange the kids come
November, how could you live with
yourself if you do?

Help in a tough situation
Editor,
On Thursday, Aug. 30, when entering
the second oor parking at Hillsdale
Shopping Center, my car suddenly
stopped. A situation such as this is
unsettling, but is especially so for an
older person. Several cars drove around
me showing me disgust with irritated
looks, all of them male drivers.
After a few minutes, a young lady
pulled her car beside me, stopped, and
asked if I needed help, then went to
park her car and returned afterward to
help me. She had her cellphone (which
I didnt), called AAA, and waited till
assistance came. I did not get her name
but I thanked her. In return, she said
she was glad she could help. What a
great show of thoughtfulness. My grati-
tude goes out to her. I hope she is
rewarded with this kindness when she
needs it. She restored my faith in the
goodness of people especially
females, who seem to have a special
sensitivity for helping those in need.

Burlingame row
Editor,
Creating a Burlingame Avenue ver-
sion of Santana Row (Burlingame
Row?) is an exciting idea worthy of
support (Burlingame Avenue letter to
the editor by Steve Duncan in the Sept.
6 edition of the Daily Journal). It has
great potential for the city and deserves
close consideration by our City
Council.

Letters to the editor
The Hawk Eye, Burlington, Iowa
A
lbert Einstein is credited with
observing compound interest
as the most powerful force in
the universe.
He who understands it, earns it; he
who doesnt, pays it, he continued.
Right now, America understands
compound interest yet is paying for it,
too.
At $15.595 trillion, U.S. debt this
year exceeded the countrys Gross
Domestic Product. To be sure, thats an
alarming gure. Republicans made hay
of it at their convention as well they
should.
In 2000, the rst year of President
George W. Bushs term, debt as it com-
pared to GDP swung from plus 57.7
percent to 57.8 percent in the red. Then
we cut taxes twice and went to war
twice.
The rst war in Afghanistan has cost
us $561 billion and promises to remain
expensive even after troops leave in
2014. Meanwhile the war in Iraq, now
generally viewed as wholly unneces-
sary, cost $806 billion and still requires
massive amounts of money.
All of its borrowed.
Debt piled up during Bushs adminis-
tration from 57.8 percent of GDP to
74.1 percent. Anyone familiar with how
compounding interest works knows
how that curve will soar especially
when expenses continue to exceed
income.
In the past four years, those numbers
have marched steadily and unsurpris-
ingly upward: 86.4, 95.1, 98.7 and
101.7 percent of GDP. (Japans debt-to-
GDP ratio is 220 percent, and see
where that country is.) ...
Theres plenty of blame to go around.
... Democrats and Republicans both
failed to recognize where the country
was going.
Cutting taxes seemed like a good idea
when the Treasury was full. But that
was before 9/11, and the budget was
not tweaked when the country marched
off to war. Then the ultra-expensive
bank meltdown hit.
The fact Barack Obama and Mitt
Romney are running neck and neck
shows Americans are more savvy about
how we arrived at this point than politi-
cians give them credit.

San Mateos
popular chief
W
hen I walked into San Mateos sparkling, spacious
new police headquarters, I spotted a large photo-
graph of the citys police force dated March 1927.
To my surprise, there was a woman in the front row. That was
Irene Ferrel, who joined the department in June 1926. Ferrel,
the rst female member of the department is the pride and joy
of Susan Manheimer, the citys rst female police chief. But
Manheimer insists that in her 28 years of policing, being a
woman hasnt been such a
big deal.
In fact, she was admitted
to the San Francisco Police
Academy after that city was
in legal trouble for lack of
diversication. It took two
years after her application to
be admitted. In the mean-
time, she worked for Barbara
Kaufman (former San
Francisco supervisor) at
KCBSs consumer affairs
program.
***
Why did Manheimer pick
police work? She was born
and raised in the north Bronx in a neighborhood of rst gener-
ation Irish, Italian and Jewish families. Her father was a coun-
cilman and frequently had local police ofcers to the house.
As a youngster, Manheimer loved those visits and decided
early on, somewhere between the ages of 6 and 9, when most
little girls are interested in dolls, that she wanted to be a cop.
Her parents never dissuaded her. The family moved to
Washington, D.C. when Manheimer was in high school. She
attended the University of Maryland and majored in law
enforcement and broadcasting. After her second year of col-
lege, she came to San Francisco and worked in a senior retire-
ment hotel, the Granada. It was 1975. There she met Michael,
fell in love, married and quit school. She eventually graduated
from college many years later when her daughter graduated
from high school. She and Michael lived in the Haight-
Ashbury and started a family. But then a traumatic incident
changed her life. When she was with her young daughter,
Manheimer was robbed by a violent panhandler but escaped
any serious injury. She decided to take a course in self-defense
and did so well she was encouraged to apply for a position in
the police department. Finally two years later, when she was
27, she was accepted.
I was not the only woman, she pointed out because of the
diversication mandate. She started off as a patrol ofcer in
the Mission and then became an undercover agent in the
crime-ridden Tenderloin. She would masquerade as a taxi cab
driver or as an old drunk. During that period, she was robbed
27 times, mostly at ATMs. Eventually, she was promoted to
captain.
In 1989, out of safety concerns for her children because of
her job, the family moved to Pacica, where they have
remained since. Michael works in hotel accounting for the
Four Seasons. In addition to the daughter, who is an attorney,
she and Michael have a son, a graduate of the U.S. Naval
Academy who recently served a stint in Afghanistan, and is
now in D.C. working in military intelligence. He and his wife
have one baby and a second one is due soon. Manheimer is as
proud of her grandson as she is of San Mateos police force.
***
Manheimer didnt seek the San Mateo job but was recruited
by the citys headhunter after John Stangl left for Wisconsin.
One thing she learned from her Tenderloin days was that
police cannot do it alone. It has to be a team effort with sup-
port from the community, the neighborhood and elected of-
cials. San Mateo has been exemplary in that respect, she said.
The affection and admiration was reciprocated as Manheimer
was honored by the citys United Homeowners Association at
last Tuesdays council meeting. The biggest challenge she
faced on arrival in 2000 was to retool the citys community
policing operation. With increasingly tight budgets,
Manheimer assigned an ofcer to each community with the
task of nding out what we could do together to meet
neighborhood concerns. One result was cleaning up gang
activity on Amphlett Boulevard and the east side of Kehoe
Avenue.
***
Some thought Manheimer would have been tagged as San
Franciscos police chief a few years back when she was on the
short list. Instead, her male colleagues chose her as the rst
female head of Californias Police Chiefs Association. Shes
been called on to meet with the governor and U.S. attorney
general . Still, she insists shes happy in San Mateo. Following
the incident at George Hall Elementary School last year, shes
leading efforts to train ofcers on how to respond to children
in crisis. Shes also increased the visibility of the local Police
Activities League. My guess is that when theres an opening
for county sheriff, Susan Manheimer will be on the top of
everyones list.

BUSINESS 10
NEW YORK Will the stock market
get more ammunition from central banks
to go higher?
We will nd out next week when
Federal Reserve ofcials meet. They are
widely expected to announce steps to
prop up the ailing U.S. economy.
Any Fed action will come on the heels
of Thursdays bold program from the
European Central Bank, which said it
would buy bonds from countries such as
Italy and Spain to ease their nancial
pressures and buy time to reduce their
debt and reform their economies.
The Standard & Poors 500 index is up
14 percent this year. Thats thanks in no
small measure to expectations building
that the Fed will act. Fridays tepid
unemployment report provides the Fed
with even more reason to act.
The Labor Department said employers
added 96,000 jobs in August, fewer than
experts had expected and the latest sign
of weakness in the economy and poor
prospects for the unemployed.
Construction and manufacturing are also
slowing.
Many now expect the Fed to unveil a
new bond-buying program at its meeting
next week. The goal would be to lower
long-term interest rates and encourage
borrowing and spending.
While that may set off another rally in
the stock market, strategists and experts
question how much of a long-term effect
it would have on the economy since
interest rates are already so low.
David Kotok, chairman and chief
investment officer of Cumberland
Advisors, believes that the very slow
growth in the economy cannot be
resolved by Fed action such as buying
more bonds.
Such a program will only send the
10-year Treasury note yield to 1.4 per-
cent from 1.6 percent. Short-term inter-
est rates are near zero and cant go any
lower. Mortgage rates are at their lowest
in a half century and it hasnt changed
the pace of growth. In fact, the longer
low interest rates persist, it will lead to a
decline in interest earnings for the
savers, which is a dangerous trend,
because it leads to more economic slow-
down, said Kotok.
Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at
Mizuho Securities, thinks the Fed is not
likely to announce a new round of bond
buying. Instead he thinks the Fed is
almost certain he gives it a 75 percent
chance of extending the period during
which it will keep short-term interest
rates near zero. Presently, the central
bank says it expects to keep them there
through late 2014. Ricchiuto says the
Fed is likely to extend that through 2015.
He says stock investors are likely to be
disappointed.
Hugh Johnson, chairman and chief
investment officer of Hugh Johnson
Advisors, also believes another Fed
bond-buying program wont make a dif-
ference to the economy.
What will do the trick? Nothing that
the Federal Reserve can do. The answer
is that companies and individuals need
to feel more optimistic about prospects,
and that gets to tax and spending. If
there was something dramatic to come
out of Washington, such as a very sharp
decline in tax rates and an increase in
government stimulus, that might excite
optimism and lead to more borrowing or
spending or investing. But theyre not
going to do something in Washington
because they cant agree.
DOES THE ECBs ACTION TAKE
EUROPE OFF THE TABLE?
Kotok: The ECB has only bought
time with its actions, and even that is
questionable. What does it mean when
the largest capital provider in Europe,
Germany, is a dissenting vote and is pub-
lic about it. (Germanys Bundesbank
was the only no vote among European
central banks.)
Johnson: I agree with everybody that
they dont do things right (in parts of
Europe). ... They need to clean up their
scal act. But dont try to do too much,
because theyre hurting. If you raise
taxes and cut government spending in
those countries when their economies
are already contracting, youre asking
for trouble.
Ricchiuto: Governments still have to
agree to and execute on austerity plans,
and theyve been reluctant to do that. At
the end of the day, no politician wants to
increase taxes or cut subsidies. You
havent solved the fundamental prob-
lem.
What will the Fed do?
WASHINGTON Fresh off a ve-
week vacation, lawmakers return to
Washington on Monday for a truncated
pre-election session in which Congress
will do what it often does best: punt
problems to the future.
They face a slew of deadlines and the
prospect of a debilitating scal cliff in
January, yet are expected to take a pass
on the big issues of taxes and spending
cuts. Their focus seems to be on the bare
minimum, preventing a government
shutdown when the budget year ends
Sept. 30.
Democrats controlling the Senate and
their House GOP rivals also will also try
to set up votes intended to score political
points or paint the other side with an
unattering brush two months before the
election. Their efforts are sure to be over-
shadowed by the presidential campaign.
Topping the agenda of substantive
business is a six-month temporary
spending bill to finance the govern-
ments day-to-day operations. The annu-
al appropriations process on Capitol Hill
collapsed about midway through the
campaign season. The stopgap measure
would give the next Congress time to
fashion a full-year plan. There would be
no more sure way of driving Congress
approval ratings even lower than for law-
makers to stumble into a government
shutdown right before the Nov. 6 vote.

Androgel, a billion-dollar selling testosterone gel used by mil-

Androgel is one of a growing number of prescription gels,

begins to decline after about age 40. Drugmakers and some
doctors claim testosterone therapy can reverse some of the
signs of aging even though the safety and effectiveness of
such treatments is unclear.

Saturdays game against Chabot
College did not start the way the
College of San Mateo wanted
especially when the goal was to
come out sharp following a less
than stellar effort against Laney
College the week before.
But with half of the second quar-
ter in the books, the Bulldogs found
themselves down 13 and a bit shell-
shocked.
We started slow, said CSM
assistant head coach and defensive
coordinator Tim Tulloch. Thats
kind of two weeks where we started
slow on both sides of the ball and
we just have to do a better job of
taking the eld on the rst series
and coming out ready to play. We
were a little bit of we had to get
punched a couple of times before
we wanted to ght back instead of
coming out and us punching them.
The Bulldogs punched back in a
big way, scoring its rst big hit
behind Maurice Williams and his
73-yard touchdown catch. His score
was the catalyst to CSMs 40-27
win.
Its never easy, Tulloch said.
Its a rivalry game. Its a game
where we had a lot of adversity and
it was great to see our guys ght and
respond. Obviously, it would be
much better if we didnt have to dig
out of that hole. But I like the way
the guys responded and I also like
when Chabot tied it up in the second
half, we again rallied and nished
strong. We didnt start very well, but
we nished.
CSM outscored Chabot 27 to 6 in
the second and third quarters. And
after Chabot found a way to tie the
game at 27 with less than a minute
off the clock in the fourth quarter,
the Bulldogs scored 13 unanswered
points to close out the game and
pick up the win. CSM is now 2-0 on
the year.
After slow start, CSM rallies to win

in win against
Pomona Pitzer
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Behind a second half onslaught, the Oaks
wrapped up its season opening three-game
road trip with a convincing 41-13 victory over
Pomona Pitzer.
Menlo College piled on 35 second-half
points, thanks largely to a rushing attack that
produced 294 total yards, averaging 5.8-yards
per carry. With the win the Oaks improve its
2012 record to 2-1, as its gets ready for its
home opener next Saturday, September 15 at
noon.
The two teams played to a 6-6 tie over the
rst 30 minutes of play, with Menlo deadlock-
ing the score nearly three minutes before
intermission. Senior quarterback Matt
Pelasasa delivered a 47-yard touchdown pass
to fellow senior Robert Adan to knot things up
at six a piece.

By Chris Jenkins
GREEN BAY, Wis. San
Franciscos defense smothered
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay
offense for most of the game, then
made one last stand to stop a late
rally as the 49ers beat the Packers
30-22 on Sunday.
Randall Cobb gave the Packers a
chance with a 75-yard punt return
for a touchdown, and a 2-point con-
version cut the lead to 8, at 23-15 in
the fourth quarter. But Rodgers
threw an interception to linebacker
NaVorro Bowman, and Frank Gore
ran for a 23-yard touchdown.
Rodgers then threw a touchdown
to James Jones, but the 49ers held
the Packers in the nal minute.
Things went so well for the 49ers
that when David Akers tried a 63-
yard eld goal at the end of the rst
half, it bounced off the crossbar and
then kept going through the uprights
to tie an NFL record.
Somehow the Packers still had a
chance to pull even. With the clock
nearing the four-minute mark, a
sack by Clay Matthews helped force
a punt and the Packers took over at
their own 16-yard line with 3:37 left
and no timeouts.
Rodgers steadily marched the
Packers down the eld, but Ahmad
Brooks sacked Rodgers. Facing
fourth-and-10 near midfield,
Rodgers threw deep toward Jordy
Nelson but the pass fell incomplete.
Rodgers nished 30 of 44 for 303
yards with two touchdowns and an
interception, but the 49ers held him
in check until late the in the game.
Jermichael Finley had a 1-yard
touchdown for the Packers.

I saw fight, Tulloch said about the
Bulldogs going down 13-0 early on. I saw
guys in the heat of battle and when youre
down 13-0 in someone elses back yard, thats
not a pretty situation and these guys rallied
immediately and put three touchdowns on the
board. The start wasnt pretty but the ght and
the will to turn it was there.
Williams hooked up with John Willis on
that momentum-shifting touchdown strike
with 13:23 left in the rst half. It was at that
point though that CSMs Quincy Nelson took
over.
Nelson rushed for 101 yards on 10 carries
and caught a pass for another 17. Three of his
touches resulted in touchdown runs of 57
and 1 and a catch of 17 that carried things
from 13-7 Chabot to 27-13 CSM with 10:25
left in the third quarter.
I tell you what, Quincy had an outstanding
game rushing and receiving for us, Tulloch
said. Maurices big pass kind of kick-started
things for us but Quincy nished some plays
in the rushing and receiving game. Third
quarter we got a lot of tough yards from
George Naufahu, he did a great job running
the ball. And our punter, Austin Pacheco, did
a nice job of turning the eld.
Naufahu nished with 89 yards on 16 car-
ries CSMs rushing total for the game was
352 yards.
Chabot responded by scoring the next 14
points and tied the game up with 14:21 left in
the game.
But, like Tulloch mentioned, Saturdays
win for the Bulldogs was about facing adver-
sity and they did just that. Less than three
minutes after Chabot tied the game, CSMs
Aaron Criswell caught a 45-yard touchdown
pass from Willis to make it 34-27.
The Bulldogs sealed the deal with 2:05 left
in the game on a 37-yard Pick-6 courtesy of
Deshane Hines.
Deshane did a nice job of reading the route
combination, Tulloch said. Those guys did
a pretty good job ball-hawking. We have to
tackle better and we have to swarm to the ball
better.

CSM
on the second halfs opening possession, the
Oaks began its 30-minute long scoring bar-
rage.
First it was junior wide receiver Michael
Alexander that made his presence felt with the
Oaks longest rush of the afternoon, a 42-yard
scamper into the end zone that broke the 6-6
affair.
Alexander nished second on the team with
66 total rushing yards and now has four rush-
ing TDs over the rst three games of the year.
He was also one of ve Oaks to run for at least
25-yards.
One of those ve was sophomore Vince
Snyder, who accounted for the Oaks second
touchdown of the half, capping off a 10-play,
60-yard scoring drive with a 2-yard scoring
rush to push Menlos margin to 20-6. Snyder
ended with 28 yards on the ground, while
freshman Brandon Bell set the pace with a
game high 84, including a 21-yard TD run to
account for Menlos nal second half score
with just 1:18 left in the game, pushing the
Oaks to a 41-13 lead.
Sophomore Jake Fohn and freshman
Dominic Mercurio also leaped in on the action
with Fohn accounting for 61 on the ground,
including a 5-yard score, and Mercurio pick-
ing up 40-yards rushing.
Pelasasa continues to pile up solid perform-
ance after solid performance in his senior
campaign with the Oaks. The native of nearby
Redwood City was more than efcient, com-
pleting 9-of-11 passes for 116 yards and a
touchdown.
Sophomore quarterback Erik Peterson also
got in on the action, connecting with senior
wide out Daniel Stevenson on a 7-yard touch-
down pass for his only toss of the game.
Defensively the Oaks stifled Pomona-
Pitzers offensive attack, as the Sagehens man-
aged just 230 total yards. Pomona-Pitzer was
more than kept in check in the second half as
well, having just one of their six second drives
lasting for more than seven plays.
Senior linebacker Marcus Alvin led the
Oaks with ten total tackles, including 1.5 for a
loss. Fellow senior linebacker Devon
Jonsson produced the games only turnover,
recovering a Ferguson fumble forced by fresh-
man Jaden Rosselli.
Menlo cruises to 56-24
win over Mission-S.F.
Rolling up another dominating victory and
some big plays, the Menlo High School foot-
ball team cruised past Mission-San Francisco
56-24 at Kezar Stadium on Saturday.
Junior Travis Chambers rushed for 112
yards on 11 carries and a touchdown as the
Knights rolled up 462 yards of offense. Senior
quarterback Matt Bradley completed 8 of 12
passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns
while junior Jack Heneghan added another 78
passing yards and the games rst touchdown
pass a 27-yard strike to senior Connor
Stastny.
Wiley Osborne nished with seven catches
for 103 yards and a pair of touchdowns and
Stastny had four receptions for 67 yards.
In another repeat play of last weeks 66-14
win over Santa Cruz, senior Max Parker ran
back another kickoff for a touchdown this
time for 85 yards in the second period. The
Knights led 42-12 at halftime.
OAKS
night for her fourth championship at Flushing
Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall.
I honestly cant believe I won. I really was
preparing my runner-up speech, because I
thought, Man, shes playing so great,
Williams said during the trophy presentation
after the 2-hour, 18-minute match, adding:
Im really shocked.
Might be the only one.
After all, what really was stunning was that
the top-ranked Azarenka made things as inter-
esting as they were, given that she came into
the day 1-9 against Williams.
Add in that Williams hadnt dropped a set in
the tournament, losing only 19 games through
six matches before Sunday. All part of a
tremendous run she is putting together in
reaction to her loss at the French Open in late
May, the Americans only rst-round exit in
49 career major tournaments. Since then, she
is 26-1, winning Wimbledon and the London
Olympics.
There hadnt been a three-set womens nal
in New York since 1995, and Williams came
through with a late charge to become the rst
woman to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open
in the same season since a decade ago, when
yes, thats right she did it.
She never gives up, said Azarenka, who
managed only 13 winners, 31 fewer than
Williams. Shes denitely the toughest play-
er, mentally, there is and shes got the power.
While Azarenka, a 23-year-old from
Belarus, doesnt have the name recognition or
bona des of Williams, she did win the
Australian Open in January, and was 32-2 (a
.941 winning percentage) on hard courts in
2012. She also hadnt dropped a three-setter
all season until Sunday, going 12-0 in match-
es that went the distance, including victories
over defending U.S. Open champion Sam
Stosur in the quarternals and 2006 champion
Maria Sharapova in the seminals.
As Sundays third set commenced,
Williams mother, Oracene Price, told her
from the stands, Settle down.
Didnt happen right away.
Well, shes a human being, you know, who
has two feet, two legs, two hands, Azarenka
said. Its understandable.
When Williams double-faulted, slapped a
bad backhand into the net and pushed a fore-
hand long, Azarenka broke at love for a 4-3
edge, then followed that up by holding for 5-3.
One game from the championship.
Azarenka was two points away at 30-all
with the fourth-seeded Williams serving in the
next game, but couldnt convert. And when
Azarenka served for the victory at 5-4, she
showed the jitters that probably are under-
standable given that this was only her second
career Grand Slam final, 17 fewer than
Williams.
Azarenka made three errors in that game,
including a forehand into the net that let
Williams break her to 5-all. Williams kept
whatever excitement she might have felt con-
tained, face straight as possible, while her
older sister, seven-time major champion
Venus, smiled and clapped in the stands.
That was during a key stretch in which
Williams took 10 of 12 points to go ahead 6-
5. She then broke again to win, dropping onto
her back on the court when Azarenka sent a
backhand long to end it.
Feels like there is no room for a mistake,
is the way Azarenka described trying to deal
with Williams game. There is no room for a
wrong decision.
Azarenka slumped in her changeover chair,
a white towel covering her head, as Williams
kept saying, Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh,
my God! while scurrying over to share the
joy with her mother and big sister.
SERENA
didnt look much better than last years porous
unit. Smith was 20 of 26 for 211 yards and
two touchdowns while Gore rushed for 112
yards.
Randy Moss scored a 14-yard touchdown in
the second quarter, a familiar and painful
sight for Packers fans.
The replacement ofcials called a 18 penal-
ties, some of them questionable and drawing
animated complaints from both sidelines.
With the 49ers leading 3-0, Smith found
Moss wide open in the end zone early in the
second quarter. Moss turned his back to the
crowd and pointed to the name on his jersey,
opting for a more subdued celebration than
the now-notorious fake mooning motion he
made toward fans at Lambeau during his
Minnesota Vikings days.
Akers hit three eld goals in the rst half,
including the 63-yarder as time ran out, with
the ball bouncing the off the crossbar for a 16-
7 halftime lead as a wide-eyed Akers held up
his arms in celebration and, perhaps, dis-
belief.
Smith and the 49ers then carved up the
Packers defense to start the second half, with
Smith throwing a 20-yard strike to Michael
Crabtree, Gore running for 21 yards and
Smith hitting Vernon Davis for a 29-yard gain
to set up rst-and-goal at the 9.
Kendall Hunter had an apparent touchdown
taken off the board when a replay review ruled
that he stepped out of bounds, but Smith threw
a dart to Davis on third-and-goal for a 23-7
lead.
Cobbs long punt return gave the Packers
hope, although there were a few anxious
moments. An ofcial threw a ag as the play
unfolded, but the crew then ruled that there
wasnt any foul for a block in the back and the
touchdown counted.
Television replays showed that Green Bays
Terrell Manning appeared to block a San
Francisco player in the back.
Rodgers then threw to Nelson for a 2-point
conversion, cutting the lead to 23-15 with
11:16 left in the game.
Gore then was marked short of the rst
down on a third-and-2 attempt, and 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh challenged the spot.
After a replay review, ofcials ruled that the
ruling on the eld stood and the 49ers punted.
But Rodgers threw the interception to
Bowman, and Gore scored to seemingly put
the game out of reach until Rodgers began to
rally the Packers late.

Menlo has routed both opponents this season.
SPORTS 13
SEATTLE If anyone is going to
beat Oakland Athletics left-hander
Tommy Milone, theyll have to earn
it.
Hes not one to give up free passes.
Milone worked six strong innings,
Jonny Gomes hit a three-run home
run and the Athletics nished off a
three-game sweep of the Seattle
Mariners with a 4-2 victory Sunday.
Milone (12-10) allowed eight hits
and two runs, matched a career high
with 10 strikeouts and had no walks.
He has walked one or no batters in
each of his past 14 starts. That ties the
longest streak by a starter in Oakland
history. Gil Heredia also had 14 starts
with one walk or less from May 29 to
Aug. 11, 1999.
During his stretch, Milone has
issued just eight walks and struck out
78 in 88 innings. His 12 wins also ties
the Oakland rookie record set by
Chris Codiroli in 1983 and matched
by Joe Blanton in
2005.
Ive always
been a strike-
thrower, Milone
said. I feel like
nothing good
comes from put-
ting guys on base
with a free pass.
Thats probably
the reason why I give up so many
hits.
The Mariners did pound out eight
hits but couldnt bunch enough
together.
Thats part of what he does. Thats
one of his strengths, making you hit
your way on, As manager Bob
Melvin said. He has given up his
share of hits but a lot of times theyre
the other way. He makes better pitch-
es when guys are on base, when he
has to.
Grant Balfour worked the ninth to
pick up his 16th save in 18 opportu-
nities.
The victory moved the As within 3
1/2 games of Texas in the AL West
after the Rangers lost to Tampa Bay
6-0. Oakland is also battling the New
York Yankees and Baltimore atop the
wild-card race.
Were getting our hits but were
not doing any damage with them,
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said,
whether its stringing hits together
or extra-base hits.
Oakland was coming off a three-
game sweep at home by AL West-
rival Los Angeles as well as the trau-
ma of watching right-hander
Brandon McCarthy get hit in the
head by a line drive. He remained
behind, still in stable condition after
brain surgery.
I dont think you have to do a
character check on this team any-
more, said Gomes, who hit his 16th
home run in the fth. We got it g-
ured out. Weve gone through some
adversity with injuries, some adver-
sity with key guys getting send out or
traded, issues with (Bartolo) Colon
(50-game suspension for PEDs).
These guys are doing a good job just
keeping our heads down and going to
battle with 25 guys in the club-
house.
Jason Vargas (14-10) allowed just
four hits and three runs in seven
innings for Seattle. He walked three
and struck out six. His critical mis-
take was a 1-1 pitch to Gomes. Adam
Rosales and Coco Crisp both had
singled with two outs. Gomes then
turned on the inside fastball and hit it
against the left-eld facade for a 3-0
lead.
I was trying to go about his bat
and his hands and he was able to stay
on it, Vargas said. The pitches that
I was worried about were to the two
batters before that when I let them
extend it.
His frustration goes back to his 2-2
count to Rosales, the ninth hitter.
Rosales had fouled off two pitches
then slapped a curveball to center.
Its frustrating when the inning
extends and ends how it did, Vargas
said. I feel like I am more than capa-
ble of getting him out with my other
two pitches.
Vargas has yielded 32 home runs
this season, including six in his last
three starts.
Josh Donaldson hit also hit a solo
home run in the ninth off Josh
Kinney, his seventh.
The Mariners scored a run in the
bottom of the third. Alex Liddi sin-
gled and stole second then came
home on Michael Saunders triple
into the right-eld corner.
Kyle Seager made it 3-2 in the
sixth with a leadoff home run, his
17th. It came on off a 1-1 curveball
from Milone, who had a career-low
three-inning outing in his previous
start Monday against the Angels.
The As now head to L.A. for a
four-game showdown with the
Angels.

nale, Haas left out
CARMEL, Ind. Rickie Fowler
strolled from the 18th green to the
scoring tent, hoping a brief smile
would shroud anyones doubts
about finally making the Tour
Championship. Turns out, he did it
anyway Sunday at the BMW
Championship.
Scott Piercy walked away with a
quizzical look, worried about
whether two bogeys on the back
nine and a two-stroke penalty
Saturday might end his dream of
playing in the Tour Championship.
They didnt.
Bill Haas, last years FedEx Cup
champion, tossed his glove and
attempted to sneak away after miss-
ing a 7-foot par putt on No. 18. The
errant putt kept him out of the play-
off nale.
Yes, the toughest thing Fowler
and the rest had to contend with at
windy Crooked Stick Golf Club was
their own nerves.
Are you sure? Fowler asked
when he was rst told he qualied

the eld nished.
Not a lot of Tim
Tebow for Jets,
but just enough
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Tim
Tebow wasnt needed much in this one for
the New York Jets.
The NFLs most popular backup quarter-
back was on the eld for just nine plays on
offense, including two in the much-hyped
wildcat package, as the Jets routed the
Buffalo Bills 48-28 on Sunday in the sea-
son opener. Tebows biggest play came
late in the game on special teams, when he recovered an onside
kick in the fourth quarter and ended a late surge by the Bills.
He was even booed after one play when he failed to gain
anything when he took off after taking a direct snap out of the
shotgun late in the rst half. Tebow nished with 11 yards
rushing on ve carries and didnt throw a pass.

SAN FRANCISCO Barry
Zito came through in one of the
most important outings in his San
Francisco tenure, pitching the NL
West-leading Giants past the Los
Angeles Dodgers 4-0 on Sunday
night to extend their division lead to
5 1/2 games.
Hunter Pence hit a two-run dou-
ble in the rst inning that held up
and Buster Posey homered in San
Franciscos fth win in the last six
meetings of the rivalry.
Marco Scutaro added a sacrice
y to back an impressive perform-
ance by Zito (11-8), who drew loud
cheers all night from the orange
flag-waving sellout crowd of
41,517. Zito, left off the postseason
roster for all three rounds during the
teams 2010 World Series title run,
also established a season high for
wins since joining the Giants on a
$126 million, seven-year contract
before the 2007 season.
Los Angeles (74-67) dropped 1
1/2 games back of St. Louis for the
second NL wild card with a crucial
four-game set against the Cardinals
starting Thursday at Dodger
Stadium. Atlanta leads the wild card
by 5 1/2 games.
San Francisco earned its NL-lead-
ing 13th shutout and fourth against
the Dodgers. The Giants swept Los
Angeles at AT&T Park from June
25-27 by scores of 8-0, 2-0 and 3-0.
Zito and ve relievers combined on
Sundays ve-hit shutout.
The Dodgers scratched reigning
NL Cy Young Award winner
Clayton Kershaw a few hours
before first pitch because of an
inamed right hip that required a
cortisone shot Saturday.
Kershaw wasnt happy with the
decision by manager Don
Mattingly, saying, I would have
loved to pitch today. The lefty (12-
7) is now scheduled to start Tuesday
at Arizona following an off day for
the club Monday.
Zito delivers as Giants extend lead over Dodgers
GLENDALE, Ariz. The Seattle
Seahawks got two extra chances on
pass interference calls, and threw
one pass after another into the end
zone in the closing seconds.
They just couldnt take advantage.
Running 13 plays on Arizonas
end of the eld in the nal two min-
utes, the Seahawks came up just
short when quarterback Russell
Wilson threw three straight incom-
plete passes, leading to a 20-16 loss
to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Hopefully, we will grow and nd
that way to make that last catch,
throw, make that last throw, make
that last block, stop, Seahawks
coach Pete Carroll said. It is a very
difcult game to go home with a
loss because we had a chance to win
this football game.
Wilson, a third-round draft pick,
had a decent game after beating out
Matt Flynn in the preseason, hitting
18 of 34 passes for 153 yards and a
touchdown in his debut. He had one
interception.
Marshawn Lynch, questionable
for the game due to a sore back, had
85 hard-fought yards on 21 carries.
And, after laboring through the rst
half, the Seahawks shut down
Arizonas offense in the second while
scoring 13 straight points to go up 16-
13 on Steven Hauschkas 39-yard
eld goal early in the fourth quarter.
They just couldnt nish it off.
Kevin Kolb hit 6 of 8 passes for

SAN DIEGO Kirk Gibson
cant wait to get off the road and
back to Arizona. Problem is his
Diamondbacks are slowly seeing
their playoff chances disappear.
Chase Headley hit a grand slam to
extend his career bests to 27 homers
and an NL-high 102 RBIs, and
Carlos Quentin followed with a
homer for San Diegos rst back-to-
back shots this season as the Padres
beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-2
Sunday.
The Padres took two of three in
the series and won for the eighth
time in nine games against the
Diamondbacks. The Padres have
won 14 of 19
overall and 18 of
24 at home.
Arizona, the
defending NL
West champions,
dropped 6 1/2
games behind St.
Louis for the
second NL wild-
card spot, with
three teams in
between them.
After winning twice at Los
Angeles to open this 10-game trip,
the Diamondbacks dropped ve of
the next eight.
Its disappointing, Gibson said.
Weve lost a lot of close games. We
have been close to a .500 club most
of the later part of this year and it
hasnt been good enough.
Batting left-handed, Headley con-
tinued his breakout season when he
drove a 0-1 pitch from Takashi Saito
several rows into the right-field
stands with two outs in the seventh
to give the Padres a 7-1 lead.
Knowing he got all of it, Headley
briey watched his shot sail out
before beginning his trot. It was his
second grand slam this season and
third of his career.
It is the Padres rst 100-RBI sea-
son since Adrian Gonzalez had 101
in 2010 and the 18th in club history.
John Baker drew a one-out walk
and Chris Denora kept the inning
alive when he reached on second
baseman Aaron Hills two-out eld-
ing error, which made all ve runs
that inning unearned. Logan
Forsythe walked ahead of Headleys
slam.
Headley homered twice in Friday
nights win against the
Diamondbacks, once from each side
of the plate, and drove in four runs.
His 19 homers and 60 RBIs since
the All-Star break lead the big
leagues. Overall, his 15 games of
three or more RBIs lead the majors.
The two games we lost here,
Headley hurt us, Gibson said.
Headleys previous highs were 12
homers and 64 RBIs in 2009.
Quentin followed Headleys slam
with a shot into the stands in left, his
16th, to chase Saito.
Chris Denora homered leading
off the sixth, his seventh of the sea-
son.
Rookie Andrew Werner (2-1),
making his fourth career start,
allowed one run and four hits in 6 1-
3 innings, struck out six and walked
three.
The Padres jumped on Arizona
rookie Patrick Corbin (5-7) for two
runs in the second. Quentin hit a
leadoff double, Jesus Guzman
walked, Cameron Maybin doubled
over leaping third baseman Chris
Johnson and Andy Parrino hit a sac-
rice y.
Arizonas Jason Kubel hit an RBI
grounder in the third.
Corbin allowed three runs and six
hits in 5 1-3 innings, struck out
three and walked two.
Headley hurts Diamondbacks again in 8-2 loss
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Paula Creamer
and Jiyai Shin played until dark, and still
couldnt break their deadlock in the Kingsmill
Championship.
After they each parred the par-4 18th hole
eight times in a playoff Sunday, darkness
forced the suspension of play for the day.
They will resume Monday morning on the
par-4 16th hole.
Both were willing to try to play a ninth
extra hole Sunday.
Its hard when its just us two and trying to
make a decision, Creamer said. I respect
what she wants, and she respects what I want.
Its difcult.
I said, Well, lets go back to the tee and
see. And then we talked about it a little bit,
and we were like, OK, lets just play. I teed
it up, and it was like, Oh, my goodness. My
(white-headed) driver was brighter than the
golf ball sitting down there, and Im thinking
this probably isnt a good idea. I looked at
Jiyai, and Jiyai said, No.
The playoff is the longest between two
players in LPGA Tour history, breaking the
mark of seven set in Cristie Kerrs victory
over Seol-An Jeon in the 2004 LPGA Takefuji
Classic. Jo Ann Prentice won the longest
playoff overall, taking the 1972 Corpus
Christi Civitan Open on the 10th extra hole.
It just was really long tough day, but it will
be good experience for us, Shin said. And
well, rst couple holes of the playoff I was
really, really nervous, but after that I started
getting comfortable with it, the playoff. Its
just like so weird. But were coming back
tomorrow, so hopefully play because we have
to go to England for the British Open.
Creamer and Shin tied
after eight playoff holes
INDIANAPOLIS Katie Douglas scored
a season-high 30 points to help the Indiana
Fever beat the Phoenix Mercury 89-83 on
Sunday night.
Douglas shot 12 for 18 from the eld and
became just the 10th player in WNBA history
to reach 5,000 career points. Tamika
Catchings added 19 points and four steals for
the Fever (19-9), who improved to 9-2 since
the Olympic break.
My teammates did a good job of nding
me, Douglas said. I was trying tonight to get
a little closer to the basket. I was trying to take
it off the dribble a little bit more. I missed sev-
eral layups at San Antonio (on Friday). So I was
trying to do a better job of nishing tonight.
The Fever made seven 3-pointers to give
them a franchise-record 230 on the season
eclipsing their mark of 226 with six games
remaining. The WNBA record is 283.
Douglas scores 30 to lead Fever past Mercury
Chase Headley
Daily Journal staff about what theyve done,
what they hope to do and why they are the
best man or in Brennans case, woman
for the job.
Parravano, who has spent about half his life
in commercial shing, said he has acted as a
bridge between the industry and the residents,
working on shing programs for schools and
even nabbing a presidential nod for his work
with oceans. Fishermen and farmers have con-
nections as sustainable food providers, he
said, adding his hopes for a local community
college curriculum to teach new generations
about shing, policy and marketing. He said
he helped put salmon shermen and academ-
ics together to collect data an example, he
said, of what he can continue bringing to the
district if re-elected.
He helped start a recycling program for sh-
ing gear and wants to continue fostering the
harbor as a source of seafood and accessibili-
ty to recreation, charter and commercial boats.
Its like a gateway, he said.
Padreddii, the current vice president, wants
another turn on the commission for what he
believes will be his last term. Padreddii has no
altogether new ideas for the future of the dis-
trict or its harbors but said he can provide sta-
bility and the opportunity to continue building
on the solid job hes done since joining in
1997.
Right now, both harbors are doing well and
I want to keep it that way, Padreddii said,
The South San Francisco resident counts
more than 30 years of public service, includ-
ing four years on the South San Francisco
City Council when it planned and developed
Oyster Point.
Padreddii would like to see ferry service
expand to Redwood City and a restaurant at
Oyster Point to keep travelers from heading to
Jack London Square instead.
The district during his term got on its best
nancial footing ever, Padreddii said, and his
goal for both harbors in 10 years is to make
them the best its ever been.
Brennan, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat
in 2010, also wants to make the harbors the
best they can be but questions the current
boards push for a visitor center in the face of
a $10 million debt and thinks the water quali-
ty must be addressed. Her earlier loss did not
dampen Brennans enthusiasm for the district;
she regularly attends board meetings and
thinks a seat is the best way to advocate for
her coastal community.
Im really passionate about it and I would
like to win, she said.
Like nearly all the other candidates,
Brennan is excited about the ferry service but
said there is room for improvement. A Wi-Fi-
enabled cafe for riders awaiting the ferry is
one idea. Another is providing public trans-
portation for those getting off the ferry; right
now, riders need cars or company-provided
shuttles to reach their destination.
Thats something that needs to be
addressed, Brennan said.
A billboard near the exit might be a good
reminder to motorists of another travel option,
thereby boosting ridership, she said.
Over at Pillar Point, Brennan envisions
more partnerships between fishermen and
companies such as Google whose chef cur-
rently buys seafood from there directly for its
restaurants and employees.
But the harbor cant have great product
without great water and Brennan said the
quality is currently compromised by an ongo-
ing fecal contamination problem at Pillar
Point and pollution at Oyster Point.
Padreddii said the waste disposal problem is
only linked to one or two boats and inspec-
tions of every boat is under way. Brennan
countered that inspections have to be ongoing,
not just once. She also said the dumping of
sh water from squid needs a look. The prac-
tice may not be detrimental but, other areas,
such as San Francisco, do not allow it, she
said.
Holsinger is also concerned about the squid
off-loading and said the district is looking at
options like pumping it onto land or back into
the holds of ships.
Brennan and Merrilees are both strong
opponents of lling in Perched Beach, the
area at Pillar Point that greets visitors with the
bright visual of kayaks for rent. The beach is
the site of events that draw visitors, like
marathons, said Merrilees, adding that pro-
tecting the space is his main reason for run-
ning.
Merrilees wants more coastal beach access
which is why he said Perched Beach is so
important.
But Parravano said the beach was created by
dredging for new docks even before his time
and there are no concrete plans to ll it
because the public said it didnt want devel-
opment there.
Both Brennan and Merrilees also question
the suggestion of taking on $25 million in
debt to build a visitor center and administra-
tion building when the district already spends
$80,000 in rent for its South San Francisco
ofces.
Why not look at Princeton? Rent some-
thing cheaper than they have now, Brennan
said.
Merrilees said he would work as hard as he
can for the district to break even rather than
subsidizing itself with tax dollars and doesnt
see that building facilities that dont quite
pay for themselves as an answer.
A visitors center is something the district
wants to promote and educate the public about
the environment and fishing industry,
Holsinger said.
This ties into the larger picture of the
coastside experience attracting more people,
he said.
He said there is not currently a plan to spend
$25 million on the center.
Parravano also likes the idea of a visitor
center with outdoor exhibits, like an open-air
walking tour.
Brennan has concerns that the district does
not have a consistent event policy nor does it
videotape meetings to promote transparency.
If elected, she would like the district to con-
sider establishing bike rental stations at both
harbors where visitors can slide a credit card
and access a new way to explore trails in the
area. Shed
also like a
strategic plan
and greater
support of
the harbor
patrol serv-
ice.
L i k e
B r e n n a n ,
Ho l s i n g e r
also tried for
the district
board unsuc-
cessfully before joining. He lost in 2004 but
was appointed earlier this year to ll the
vacancy created by the death of commissioner
Sally Campbell. The job, he found, is boat-
loads of fun.
Holsinger is particularly keen on the har-
bors environmental quality, particularly as
more people use the Oyster Point harbor
because of the ferry service. But he envisions
accommodating craft during Americas Cup
and kayakers. The ferry service is just one
more constituency, he said.
The ferry service is an opportunity to limit
carbon footprints and leave road rage behind,
he said.
Its a very comforting way to begin and
end the day, he said.
Offering a quite different perspective,
Merrilees will be quite ne with Oyster Point
reverting back to South San Francisco in
2028. While it is in the districts management,
though, Merrilees said the challenge is getting
people to use it opposite of the commute
direction. The boon to companies like
Genentech which draws workers from the
East Bay is a good thing but most commuters
in San Mateo County are headed up to San
Francisco or down to Silicon Valley, he said.
Merrilees called Pillar Point a bigger draw,
an incredible magnet for the coastside of
which the harbor could take better advantage
by holding more events like regattas and
marathons. In 10 years, there will be more
restrictions on shing, he said, so there needs
to be something in its back pocket to ll the
gap. A kiosk for sh sales up front is one pos-
sibility, making commercial fishing more
interactive and boosting sales, he said.
He also wants the district to be more proac-
tive in xing problems, like in February when
a broken sewage pump turned boats away
from Pillar Point. The districts answer was
well see if we can get a grant, he said.
You get that xed immediately, he said
adding a mobile pump like that used in
Berkeley or backup equipment is another
option.

T
ime for whats become a biannual
myth-busters column. You know the
ofcers you see driving animal con-
trol trucks and vans throughout the county?
People assume theyre government employ-
ees, but they are actually employees of the
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA, a pri-
vate nonprot. We are one of the few private
animal welfare organizations, statewide,
contracted to handle animal control services.
People also assume animal control servic-
es is mostly ofcers picking up strays. The
far bigger and more costly piece of this
work is the sheltering of animals picked up.
When animals arrive, they have just 10 days,
right? Wrong! We dont know where that
myth originated. Animals become our legal
property after they have been with us four
days. After this state-mandated holding peri-
od, they become our property. Once
approved for adoption, they remain available
for adoption for as long as it takes us to nd
a home, given they remain physically and
mentally t. We just found a home for a dog
who had been with us two and a half years.
This was only possible with our wonderful
volunteers who keep animals exercised and
mentally stimulated and our professional
staff which keeps animals healthy. Since
2003, weve found homes for 100 percent of
the healthy dogs and cats in our care. Can
you teach an older dog new tricks?
Absolutely. Adopters enroll experienced
dogs in classes all the time. Dogs do not
learn well when teaching includes punish-
ment. Fear-based learning does not make for
a well-adjusted, happy dog. Do you know
which breed never bites? None! Finally, a
local wildlife myth. If you see urban
wildlife as a problem, you can hire a profes-
sional trapper to remove the animal, but this
alone will not solve your issue. Instead,
remove whatever is attracting the animal
an inadvertent food, water or shelter source
otherwise, another wild animal will take
the removed animals place.

LOS ANGELES The
Possession occupied the top spot at
a nearly comatose box ofce.
The fright flick with Kyra
Sedgwick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
playing the parents of a girl pos-
sessed by a demon earned $9.5 mil-
lion in its second outing, the lowest
grossing weekend for the box ofce
this year and one of the worst week-
ends at the box ofce in a decade. It
marked the rst time since 2008 that
no lm managed to crack the $10
million mark.
The weekend after Labor Day is
typically the slowest of the year, but
this weekends grosses were down
20 percent over last year when
Contagion opened in rst place
with $22.4 million. Total box ofce
revenues are estimated at $67 mil-
lion, which would make this the
worst weekend at the box ofce
since the weekend after 9/11 when
revenues were $59.7 million.
There just wasnt a strong open-
er, said Paul Dergarabedian, box-
ofce analyst for Hollywood.com.
We came off a summer that ended
with a whimper. There wasnt any
momentum. It just comes down to
the movies and the marketplace.
Theres wasnt some extraneous
force keeping people out of the the-
aters. This crop of movies just did-
nt have that solid draw.
The bootlegging tale Lawless
starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy
and Jessica Chastain kept a lock on
the No. 2 position in its second
weekend with $6 million, bringing
its total haul to $23.5 million, while
The Words featuring Bradley
Cooper as an aspiring writer and
Zoe Saldana as his girlfriend
debuted in third place with $5 mil-
lion.
A pair of action sequels rounded
out the top ve lms. The ensemble
ick The Expendables 2 earned
$4.7 million in its fourth weekend,
while The Bourne Legacy cap-
tured $4 million in its fth outing at
the box ofce. Expendables 2 also
won $14 million internationally in
23 territories, and Bourne Legacy
nabbed $13 million in 49 territories.
2016: Obamas America, a con-
servative lm exploring the roots of
President Barack Obamas political
views, raised its total to $26 million
in its ninth week of release, earning
another $3.3 million this weekend.
That now makes 2016 the second
highest grossing political documen-
tary of all time behind director
Michael Moores Fahrenheit 9/11,
which holds the top spot with
$119.1 million.
The Cold Light of Day, the
weekends only other new major
release, wasnt able to see the light
of the top 10. The drama starring
Henry Cavill and Bruce Willis
earned just $1.8 million in the No.
13 spot.
Below The Cold Light of Day,
an IMAX re-release of 1981s
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of
the Lost Ark collected $1.7 million
in the No. 14 position. The lm star-
ring Harrison Ford as the iconic
archaeologist is playing a limited
engagement in 267 theaters.
Possession remains No. 1 at weak box office

would be available. He would put adequate
area for cars and hoped this would lure cus-
tomers to the new mall. He succeeded beyond
his expectations and, within a few years, many
other communities began imitating his mall
concept.
In the rolling hills of the Colma area,
Patrick Brooks, in 1852, had acquired 442
acres fronting the Mission road. J.A. and Harry
Christen later bought this land and developed
one of the best dairies on the Peninsula. In
1963, the dairy land was sold to the Sunshine
Realty Company and plans for the Serramonte
housing development were begun. Carl and
Fred Gellert had built homes in the 1920s and
were very successful at it. This virgin area was
devoid of streets, houses and stores. Gellert
devised a bold plan never tried on the Peninsula
before. He wanted to build a closed-in, climate-
controlled and air-conditioned mall much like
Doelger had built, but this mall was to be total-
ly enclosed. Arthur Buzz Haskins, Inc. of
South San Francisco agreed to move 2,700,000
cubic yards of dirt to prepare the land for the
900,000-square-foot shopping center. Buzz
soon found out he had another problem. For
years, the rice milling factories at Hunters Point
had been dumping worthless rice hulls into the
gullies of Colma so these had to be removed,
slowing the project down considerably. When
nished, the mall was to have tenants such as
Montgomery Ward, Longs Drug, Macys and
QFI as the cornerstones of the mall. Numerous
specialty shops complemented the mall as well
as restaurants and eventually McDonalds. By
1972, there were 152 tenants in the mall.
David Bohannon began building houses in
the 1930s. In the early 40s, he bought up the
Burleigh H. Murray property south of San
Mateo and fronting on El Camino Real. He had
monumental ideas of building thousands of
low-cost homes priced between $5,000 and
$6,000. Construction was halted during World
War II and he went to build homes for workers
in the defense industries. After the war, he
returned to Hillsdale with the idea of building
houses and possibly a mall like Henry Doelger
had done in Daly City. His mall was to be big-
ger, better, closed to the weather and present a
higher class of merchandise for the shoppers.
This 40-acre site was projected to cost $30 mil-
lion and be anchored by Sears, Macys and
Emporium stores, plus smaller specialized
retail stores. By 1970, the Hillsdale Shopping
Center had more than 150 stores in it and was
considered the nest shopping center on the
Peninsula. On Nov. 8, 1980, Bohannons
1,300,000-square-foot reconstruction of the
Hillsdale Shopping Center was approved. It
was to be a climate-controlled enclosed mall
with Nordstrom getting 120,000 feet of room.
Mervyns also was added. At the same time and
against the advice of Bohannon, Ernest Hahn
of Los Angles planned the opening of an
856,934-square-foot mall near Foster City,
named Fashion Center. Bohannons informa-
tion told him the area could not support two
major malls but, after a city election, it was
approved. Hahn opened Fashion Island in
September 1981 with J.C. Penny, Liberty
House, Montgomery Ward and Bullocks in the
center. November 1981 was to be the phase I
opening of the Hillsdale Shopping Center, in
time for the Christmas rush. Bohannons advice
was proved correct in that two large malls in the
area could not be supported by the population.
Hillsdale Shopping Center prospered and
Fashion Island never lived up to expectations. It
is now Bridgepointe Shopping Center and
doing quite well.
The Tanforan race track in San Bruno burned
down in the 1960s. This large parcel of land set
with no development until 1971 when the
Tanforan shopping center construction was
begun. Being 10 miles south of San Francisco,
it was developed to supply merchandise for
those shoppers as well as the area between
Serramonte Shopping Center and Hillsdale.
One of the big advantages Tanforan had was
BART that would have a stop at its doors as
well as many of the bus lines. The stores that
anchored the mall were Sears, Penneys and
Emporium (that was replaced by Target), On
April 18, 2008, Century Theatres had a grand
opening next to the main mall. The San Bruno
Police Department opened its ofce at the
BART garage. A two-level Barnes and Noble
bookstore opened facing El Camino Real and
close to the statue of the champion racing horse
Seabiscuit.

as most of the rest of the council has
already given the deal a tentative thumbs
up.
Mayor Art Kiesel, however, has voted
at least once against the sale and will
likely do so again, he previously told the
Daily Journal.
The City Council approved a set of
business terms for the sale of the land in
April on a 4-1 vote, with Kiesel voting
no.
After 18 months of negotiating the
terms of a disputed lease with Foster
City, the NPJC agreed to buy the land it
sits on from the city back in April.
While most of the council praised the
deal, Kiesel had major concerns with
some of the details of it.
The two sides landed in mediation in
2011 after the city sought damages from
the NPJC for being in default of its long-
term 55-year lease.
Under the terms of the lease, the NPJC
was to build a cultural arts center on the
property but it never took out the permits
to build the center by an established
deadline.
The potential loss of the cultural arts
center in the sale of the property was
cause for Kiesel to vote against the deal.
Some key development terms in the
document include a $20 million sale
price with a $1 million down payment
and a $19 million promissory note at
3.25 percent interest for 25 years.
The loan to the NPJC is secured by a
rst position deed of trust held by the
city. While the NPJC pays off the prom-
issory note to the city, its obligations
under the current lease agreement will
no longer apply, including obligations
for future construction.
The parking area currently used by the
NPJC which is located on the vacant 15
acres owned by the city is slated to be
replaced with an alternative permanent
parking site.
The 140,000-square-foot center is
located at 800 Foster City Blvd. and has
10,000 members, half of which reside in
Foster City, according to the PJCC.
The City Council meets 6:30 p.m.,
tonight, City Hall, 620 Foster City Blvd.,

SAN FRANCISCO A change in
the weather was making things more dif-
cult for the thousands of reghters
who were struggling to contain a series
of wildres burning across California,
re ofcials said Sunday.
In Northern California, the National
Weather Service issued a Red Flag warn-
ing for a wide area of the region through
Sunday evening, with forecasters saying
wind gusts could hit 40 miles per hour
and humidity levels would drop.
There are nine major res burning
throughout the state, with a relatively
new re, one that started Friday, threat-
ening about 300 homes outside of
Ukiah, said California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection Daniel
Berlant.
The Scotts re, which has consumed
about ve square miles, remains about a
mile away from homes, but those homes
are directly in the path of the blaze,
Berlant said.
Meanwhile, about 75 miles to the
southeast, the 1,300 reghters battling
a massive wildre burning across two
counties have the blaze 80 percent con-
tained. Ofcials expect to have the
Sixteen Complex fire surrounded
Monday, as long as the change in the
weather doesnt help the blaze spread.
The re did not grow overnight,
Berlant said. As long as the winds dont
hamper our efforts we expect to have
that re contained Monday.
The wildre, which is actually two
separate res burning within a few miles
of each other in Colusa and Yolo coun-
ties, has consumed 28 square miles since
it started on Sept. 4.
No structures have been destroyed or
damaged in the re, and an evacuation
advisory for the nearby Cortina Indian
Rancheria has been lifted, allowing resi-
dents to return home.
Highway 16 has been reopened, but a
smoke advisory is in effect because of
decreased visibility in the area because
of the smoke from the blaze.
Also in Northern California, a blaze
thats been burning since Aug. 18 near
the tiny Mendocino County community
of Covelo is now 89 per cent contained,
with ofcials expecting to have it con-
tained Monday evening.
Its hot and dry still, said fire
spokesman Matt Corelli. But the good
thing is that not a lot of re is near con-
tainment lines.
That re has scorched more than 65
square miles, destroyed 26 structures
and damaged four others, ofcials said.
In Southern California, a wildfire
burning in rugged areas of the San
Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los
Angeles is expected to be fully con-
tained by Thursday.
The U.S. Forest Service said the re
was 83 percent contained Sunday after
burning 6 1/2 square miles.
The re broke out over Labor Day
weekend, driving thousands of visitors
from the Angeles National Forest and
keeping out thousands more. A few
dozen residents from the forest had to
evacuate, but were allowed back to their
homes late last week.
Red flag warnings for NorCal
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Something exciting could
develop for you, indicating a positive cycle is in the
making. Sensing this will put you in a very hopeful
and expectant frame of mind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Seeing opportunity for
personal gain will make you far more responsive to
motivations of proft, as well as encourage you to
move more swiftly and effectively toward your goals.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Persons at work will be
more inclined than usual to cooperate with you and
take on extra duties if they know theres something
extra in it for them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- By contributing
to developments that others initiate, youll be able
to make a major contribution and, in doing so, fnd
a niche for yourself. Your presence will meet a real
need.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It behooves you to
follow the example of companions who are involved
in worthwhile activities, instead of imitating dead-
beats or the uninvolved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre properly
motivated, even diffcult objectives can be achieved.
When the rewards are worthwhile, youll have no
trouble giving tough endeavors maximum effort.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your greatest asset is
the ability reorganize situations that are beginning to
fray at the edges. Do what you can to revitalize what
is coming apart.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Youll have no trouble
putting forth the necessary extra effort in order to
fnalize a matter that has been dangling for far too
long. Make it your top priority.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It will be up to you to
initiate contact with someone whom you recently
met and would like to get to know better. This person
wont know youre interested unless you make the
frst move.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Payment for work or
services youve recently performed for a busy person
isnt likely to come in early unless you ask for it. Let
it be known that you need the money now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is nothing wrong
with your leadership qualities, but they arent likely to
come into play unless youre exposed to a situation
that others fnd too challenging to handle unaided.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When it comes to your
career interests, youll be far more effective as the
power behind the throne than as a point person.
Quietly direct things from the background.

By Samantha Critchell
NEW YORK Victoria Beckham must put
her touch on everything to do with her New York
Fashion Week show. It not only ends up looking
like her signature pulled-together, well-edited
style, but it feels like her, too.
Shes the thoughtful hostess with waiters offer-
ing morning juice to the crowd coming early
Sunday to the New York Public Library, but she
keeps the guest list very tight.
Shes one of the biggest draws on the calendar
of seasonal previews, but theres no frenzy of
paparazzi photographers. (Husband David
Beckham, however, did take some photos from
his seat.)
The music is loud enough to be heard, but its
far from thumping. Beckham gives the crowd a
brief bow, but doesnt linger.
And shes gracious to her backstage well-wish-
ers, but theres a time limit.
No detail is overlooked, and that goes for the
clothes, too. Beckham said she checks or dou-
blechecks every look to make sure it looks
good from every angle.
The clothes for spring had a delicacy that she
said was new for her this season, although the
clothes remained substantial and structured. It
was the touch of illusion lace, the lingerie bra top
or hemline of pleated chiffon that took the edge
off banded short skirts, zip-back sheaths and
shirtdresses.
The lingerie inuences built on her knowledge
of corsetry and fell naturally into the collection,
Beckham explained after the show. Its the rst
time Ive gone so delicate, but I wanted the design
elements.
She opened the show with a black slip-style
sundress that she said was among her favorite
looks.
There were more pants, all cut slim, than she
typically offers but, she said, they really look
like my signature dresses, but theyre trousers.
As retailers, editors and stylists have seen this
round of previews, black and white are dominant
forces. Beckham used a poppy red as her bold
contrast color. She was more interested in texture
than crazy colors, she said, noting the black dress
she was wearing, which mixed canvas, georgette,
lace and chiffon.
I want to design what I want to wear, she said.
Victoria Beckham show full of her style signatures

presentation during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at New York Public Library in New
York City Sunday.

A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
