pipeline oversight
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama adminis-
tration called for tighter federal oversight of
oil and gas pipelines Wednesday in the wake
of a deadly California gas explosion that
raised alarms about the safety of the nation’s
aging infrastructure.
In the meantime, the head of the National
Transportation Safety Board said the federal
agency responsible for the regulation is too
accepting of assurances from industry that its
equipment and practices are safe.
Deborah Hersman’s comments echoed
what safety advocates have long called for —
a pipeline agency that needs to be less cozy
with industry and staffed with more inspec-
tors to enforce stricter regulations.
They welcomed the Obama plan, but said
it fell far short of addressing the problems

County budget deficit grows, School libraries closed,some frustrated

The general fund ended the year $24.8 mil-

which added $16 million to non-departmental
services and $8.8 million for general fund
operating departments. Primary reasons for
the increase are $6.5 million in backfilled pub-

Police: Man crashes,
tries to tow cars while drunk
BLAINE, Wash. — A 54-year-old
Washington state man has been arrested
after police say he crashed two cars
while intoxicated, then got in his tow
truck and tried to move the vehicles.
The Bellingham Herald reports that
Tommy Ryser was arrested and booked
in jail on three counts of driving under
the influence Monday.
The Whatcom County Sheriff’s office
says Ryser crashed his truck into a util-
ity pole Monday night, abandoned that
vehicle and got in his wife’s
Volkswagen but crashed that car into a
guardrail. He then got his privately
owned tow truck and attempted to tow
the vehicles, even with a bloodied fore-

Sgt. Larry Flynn says Ryser pulled
up to the scene of one of the crashes
while police were investigating.

City demands cut-and-cover trench
Belmont passes resolution on high-speed rail alternatives
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Belmont City Council passed a resolu-
tion Tuesday night calling for a cut-and-cover
trench in the city for high-speed rail tracks.
Councilman Warren Lieberman, however,
abstained from voting on the issue because he
feels he has not been given adequate informa-
tion on the impacts of the system to Belmont
regardless of the alternative, whether aerial or
depressed.
The vote was 3-0-1. Councilman David
Braunstein missed the meeting.
Mayor Christine Wozniak, Vice Mayor
Coralin Feierbach and Councilman Dave
Warden all approved the resolution.
Lieberman didn’t feel comfortable with
approving the resolution because he has not
received objective information from city staff
on the impacts of the alternatives.
In its alternatives analysis presented Aug.
5, The Peninsula Rail Program shows only an
aerial viaduct solution for a four-track system
in Belmont.
The Peninsula Rail Program is the local
arm of the California High-Speed Rail
Authority that also answers to Caltrain.
Since the authority is proposing cut-and-
cover trenches for sections of the line in San
Francisco and San Jose, Feierbach feels the
solution should also be in place for Belmont.
“We don’t want this to ruin our community.
We must protect the community,” Feierbach
said.
The city intends to send the resolution to
LOCAL
the U.S. Department of Transportation. The
city of Orange in Southern California passed
a resolution in complete opposition to
the entire project and other cities
are considering drafting similar
resolutions, such as Palo Alto
and Burlingame, for instance.
Caltrain is calling on the rail
authority to refocus the pro-
ject’s environmental impact
report on design and construc-
tion of an initial phase that
could deliver the benefits of high-
speed rail to the Peninsula and
Caltrain while significantly minimizing
or eliminating any adverse impacts on adja-
cent communities, according to Caltrain offi-
cials.
Caltrain Executive Director Mike Scanlon
urged the authority, in a Sept. 1 letter, to
examine how construction of the project
could be phased so that it results in project
alternatives that are more desirable to
Peninsula communities. A phased approach
could allow for underground solutions on
parts of the line that currently are not identi-
fied for it, including Belmont, if the authority
determines it is a feasible alternative.
Regardless of the alternatives posed for
Belmont, Lieberman wants to get a better
understanding of what the noise impacts
would be for any alternative proposed for the
city.
“We have had very little information pre-
sented to council to help us evaluate the alter-
natives,” Lieberman said. “I have no real
basis to make decisions other than an emo-
tional feeling or my instinct.”
High-speed rail options have been
essentially whittled down for the
Peninsula to an elevated viaduct
for most of the line and cities
opposing the alternative are
scrambling to find other solu-
tions. A cut-and-cover trench
— similar to a tunnel — would
add significant cost to the proj-
ect and was essentially ruled out
by the High-Speed Rail Authority
Aug. 5.
The aerial/berm structure, accommo-
dating four tracks, would be 80-feet wide, 30-
feet high, with additional 25-foot-high cate-
naries above the rail track line that would cre-
ate the visual equivalent of five-story building
running the 1.6-mile length of the city,
according to the text of the resolution to be
considered Tuesday.
Feierbach thinks the catenaries will be
“ugly.”
The project was kicked off in earnest with a
$10 billion bond in November 2008, and
most recently was awarded $2.5 billion in
federal funding in May. Its ambitious plans
include electrified bullet trains from Los
Angeles to San Francisco and its total antici-
pated cost is $40 billion, though critics say
that number could double.

Obama sends spending wish list to Congress
By Aandrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama
administration is pushing a pre-
election shopping list on its
Democratic allies in Congress as
they prepare must-pass legislation
to prevent a government shutdown
next month.
Republicans are protesting the
spending requests, which include
$1.9 billion for school grants, finan-
cial help for the Postal Service and
more than $4 billion requested by
the administration to finance settle-
ments of long-standing lawsuits
against the government.
A back-of-the-envelope tally by

billion, including $5.7 billion to
prevent shortfalls in the popular Pell
Grant program and $5.5 billion the
cash-strapped Postal Service.

Such stopgap funding bills typi-

Pacifica man arrested for
Santa Rosa home invasion robbery
Santa Rosa police on Tuesday arrested a
Pacifica man suspected in an armed home inva-
sion robbery Sunday evening.
Steven Andrew Chavez, 21, was arrested on a
$120,000 warrant at 2:25 p.m. Tuesday at his
home in the 400 block of Lynbrook Drive in
Pacifica, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Steve Fraga
said.
Inside the home, police found evidence that
linked Chavez to the robbery, as well as mari-
juana believed to be for sale, Fraga said.
The robbery happened at about 8:40 p.m.
Sunday at an apartment in the 900 block of
Sonoma Avenue in Santa Rosa.
The two residents who were robbed reported
that two men had followed them and their guest
into the apartment, bound their hands and feet
with duct tape and held them at gunpoint while
they ransacked the home, Fraga said.
The suspects eventually unbound the visitor,
who then helped the thieves load electronics and
marijuana into an SUV, Fraga said. The visitor
then left with the suspects.
The residents were able to free themselves
and call police.
Police have identified the visitor as Daniel
Vincent Flores, 21, of Forestville, and believe
he was involved in the robbery. Flores and the
third suspect are still at large, police said.
Agency honors winners,

Suspect arrested in
Rancho Cordova slaying
RANCHO CORDOVA — Authorities have
arrested a suspect in connection with the slaying
of a 49-year-old Reno woman who was fatally
shot after stopping her car in a Sacramento-area
suburb.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputies say
22-year-old Robert Vasquez was taken into cus-
tody in Redwood City on Tuesday after he
jumped from a third-story window to try to
escape from detectives. He suffered serious
injuries in the fall and was in critical condition
at a San Francisco Bay Area hospital.
Vasquez was being sought in connection with
the death of 49-year-old Madalene Thomas.
Thomas was shot on Sunday morning after
her car was stopped by another vehicle in
Rancho Cordova.
The driver of that vehicle fired once into her
car. Thomas’ 18-year-old nephew was with her,
but investigators say he was unable to describe
the suspect.
Seven years later, woman
reunited with stolen dog
A San Francisco woman searching for
answers since her dog was stolen seven years
ago finally has closure.
Make that: a fresh start.
Mary Bollero’s “Little Girl” vanished in
2003. Until recently, Bollero didn’t know if the
dog was still alive.
A call from a San Mateo animal clinic on
Aug. 24 changed that. Little Girl had been
brought in for treatment of an ear infection, and
the dog’s microchip named Bollero as her
owner.
But before she arrived to pick up her pet, the
man who’d found her a few weeks earlier said
he wanted to keep the dog. Humane Society
officials said anyone finding a lost dog could
keep it if unclaimed in 30 days.
Community mourns mother,
daughter killed in explosion
By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A vigil and funeral mass are planned in San
Francisco this week for Jacqueline Greig and
her 13-old-daughter Janessa, who were killed
Thursday when a gas transmission line explod-
ed and ignited a fire that ripped through their
San Bruno neighborhood.
The vigil and mass are scheduled to take
place at St. Cecilia Catholic Church on 17th
Avenue, near Vicente Street, on Thursday and
Friday. Janessa had attended St. Cecilia School
since kindergarten and her mother often volun-
teered for school activities.
“Janessa is warm giving, generous, outgo-
ing,” St. Cecilia School principal Sister Marilyn
Miller said Tuesday. “You know, the kind of kid
that you’d love to have in a classroom and love
to have as a friend.”
The eighth grader was a piano player, a
dancer of ballet folklorico, an actor in her
school drama club and president of the student
body, Miller said.
“We have a student body of 600,” she said.
“Everybody knew her and everybody liked her.”
Classes have been canceled on Friday to
allow students, teachers and staff to attend the
11 a.m. funeral mass. “People here are griev-
ing,” Miller said. “It’s hard for us to believe that
they’re gone.”
Jacqueline Greig, 44, was a member of the St.
Cecilia School Mothers’ Club. Her older daugh-
ter, Gabriella, also attended school there.
“Her life revolved around her girls,” Miller
said.
Jacqueline worked at the California Public
Utilities Commission for more than 20 years.
She also served on the natural gas committee of
the National Association of State Utility
Consumer Advocates.
“Her talents extended beyond California,”

said. “She was well-liked by everybody and
we’ll miss her,” he said.
Janessa volunteered regularly with her moth-

San Mateo, spokesman Scott Delucchi said.
“Her loss was felt deeply by everyone here
who had the pleasure of meeting her and know-

Janessa and her mom had been coming by

“For someone that young to be a regular vol-

Telling time
I
s it time yet? Time to laugh,
to smile, to think even ever so
briefly about something other
than the six-alarm blaze that forev-
er changed San Bruno? Is it time to
take a deep breath and then another
and slowly let the rest of the world
creep back into daily existence?
Today marks one week since gas
filled the air and fire tore down the
streets. One week since residents
fled, some with nothing but the
clothes on their back, babies in
their arms and indescribable fear in
their hearts. One week since
Janessa, Jacqueline, Jessica and
Elizabeth died and others went
missing. Only one week. Is it
enough?
It hardly seems possible. Grief
has no timeline and neither does
picking up the pieces.
Yet a week has certainly been
long enough for the disgruntled
phone calls and letters to come into
the newsroom. One caller was
offended a National Transportation
Safety Board member was pho-
tographed in a ball cap and sun-
glasses. How disrespectful! she
chirped. Another couldn’t under-
stand why the paper directs people
to the Red Cross over the Salvation
Army. Everybody knows that
organization isn’t any good.
Another was simply annoyed
recent letters to the editor focused
on the fire. He wrote his piece long
before the disaster; shouldn’t he
take priority?
Kudos to communicators
Editor,
Everybody has praises for the first
responders to the San Bruno disaster
incident, as they so deserve. I’d like
to recognize a group that’s often for-
gotten, yet played a critical part in
the response to the incident. These
are the dispatchers and operators for
911, fire, police and emergency
medical services. As a scanner
enthusiast who regularly monitors
the San Bruno Fire Department, I
heard the initial dispatch on the
Control-3 channel and then the fire-
fighters and dispatchers communi-
cating on a number of additional
channels. As this immediately turned
into an unprecedented mutual-aid
incident, these people continued to
play a significant part communicat-
ing with fire personnel and initiating
the Incident Command System. I’m
sure this scene was repeated with the
police and emergency services.
This incident shows how all the
hours of planning and coordinating
by emergency response agencies
pays off when the “big one” hap-
pens.

Nothing wrong
with an upholsterer
Editor,
Recently, county supervisor candi-
date Don Horsley, was quoted ask-
ing this question: “Would you turn
over a $1 billion organization to an
upholsterer who works out of her
garage?” (“Supervisor forerunners
ready to square off,” Sept. 13, the
Daily Journal).
The organization he was referring
to is the San Mateo County govern-
ment and the upholsterer, his oppo-
nent, April Vargas. When I met with
‘Some sobs of gratitude have become
tears of frustration and anger, at PG&E,
the CPUC, at the city, at officials, at the world.’
Then, of course, there are the
groups upset at being omitted from
wrap-ups of fundraisers and
donors. Look at us! Look what
we’ve done! they seem to be say-
ing, as though recognition is more
important than the act itself. A
week must be long enough to for-
get some sense of charity and gen-
erosity.
A week is also long enough for
stories of scam artists and adver-
tisements promising legal help,
hefty settlements and discount
repairs. While most of the commu-
nity is coming together, there are
those who have no qualms about
pulling at its threads.
A week, too, and a growing ros-
ter of politicians have taken their
turn calling for action and demand-
ing answers. Even those without a
direct tie to the area are wasting no
time assigning blame and calling
names. Tom Ammiano said PG&E
“murdered” the fire victims. San
Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom
warned PG&E he’s watching them.
Some haven’t met a press release
or a microphone they don’t like and
several act as though this disaster
gives them a pass on rectifying the
state budget.
Letters to the editor
Don to consider offering him my
endorsement, he made a similar
comment. I thought at the time it
was an unnecessary characterization,
but let it go as one of those things
said between two people in jest. To
know he repeated the same to a
newspaper, shows that it was more
than a remark made in jest. It is
something he truly believes. I find
this disturbing because it goes
beyond a cut to his opponent and
cuts to the very heart of our govern-
ment. Ours was designed from the
beginning to allow the baker, the
cobbler, and yes, even the upholster-
er, to not only vote for their govern-
ment but to become their govern-
ment. It has worked pretty well in
my opinion and we have seen great
leaders rise from humble begin-
nings: Lincoln, Truman, Reagan, to
name just a few. I am not sure what
Mr. Horsley thinks he knows that
Ms. Vargas doesn’t, but he might
consider what one of my wrestling
coaches was fond of saying: “He
who thinks he knows the most
knows the least.” To be clear, I am
not endorsing Vargas. However, a
man who believes, if he is elected,
that the voters are turning over to
him a $1 billion organization to run,
is an arrogant man; we should be
wary of him. Even when you run an
upholstery business out of your
garage, you know it takes others to
help you succeed.

Unions are useful
Editor,
This is a response to a letter to the
editor (“Reject Unions,” in the Sept.
15 edition of the Daily Journal).
The writer seems very bitter, per-
haps he has been burned by unions
in the past or maybe he is out of
OPINION
A week has also been long
enough to judge who and who has-
n’t arrived. While the governor was
off touting high-speed rail and
California-grown strawberries in
China, Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado
addressed the masses at near-daily
press briefings. Was he doing his
job as the acting governor or cam-
paigning to take over that job per-
manently in the November elec-
tion? He was knocked for remain-
ing in San Bruno while
Schwarzenegger was vilified for
staying away. Then mocked for
showing up.
Cynicism can only be held at bay
so long.
A week has been long enough
for frazzled nerves to fray a little
more. Some sobs of gratitude have
become tears of frustration and
anger, at PG&E, the CPUC, at the
city, at officials, at the world. Some
are ready to go forward. Some are
still frozen at a stand still. One size
doesn’t fit all.
Fingers have pointed at depend-
ence on natural gas and at cities
who want to outsource public safe-
ty. Claims have been made about
who is receiving help and housing
work because of his union.
However, not all unions are corrupt.
Yes, there are some but you will find
corruption everywhere, that does not
mean that every union is. The writer
said that “A union today is for those
who cannot think for themselves.”
Mr. Parry, I would like to point out
to you that men and women who
belong to unions can think for them-
selves. Look no further then the fire
in San Bruno on Thursday night, I
am willing to bet that close to 90
percent of the first responders (fire,
police, paramedics, dispatchers, Cal
Fire, CHP, city of San Bruno
employees just to name a few) are
members of a union or an associa-
tion. Not only did they think for
themselves they made life-and-death
decisions and they put themselves in
harms way to save people like you.
Yes, I know it is their job but the
point is they made those life and
death decisions on their own. As for
teachers, well you probably do not
have kids in school anymore or
maybe did not have kids at all other-
wise you would not have made that
comment. As for unions that go on
strike, I am a fan of people going on
strike because there are people out
there who need jobs, however there
are jobs that are part of a union that
need specially trained people. I am a
proud member of an association and
I know you would not last two hours
in my job.

Stocks edge higher
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks overcame an
early slide Wednesday and closed higher
as investors tried to keep a September
rally alive.
Major indexes had opened lower after
a poor reading on factory activity in New
York, but turned higher around midday
after getting better news on U.S. indus-
trial production. That report showed that
the national industrial sector grew for the
12th time 14 months.
Better news on manufacturing was the
main trigger behind the rally that began
in early September and has now pro-
pelled stocks higher on nine out of the
past 11 days. The Dow Jones industrial
average, which gained 46 points
Wednesday, is up 5.6 percent over that
time.

Democrats call for tax cuts for all
By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More Democrats
joined Republicans on Wednesday in
calling for the preservation of tax breaks
for Americans of every income level,
bolting this election season from
President Barack Obama’s plan to pre-
serve cuts for families who earn less
than $250,000 and let taxes rise for the
wealthiest Americans.
But Obama placed the blame for the
stalled proposal squarely on
Republicans.
“They want to hold these middle class
tax cuts hostage until they get an addi-
tional tax cut for the wealthiest 2 percent
of Americans,” the president said in
afternoon remarks.
“Doesn’t it make sense for us to move
forward with the tax cuts that we all
agree on?” Obama added. “We should be
able to extend, right now, middle-class
tax relief on the first $250,000 of
income.”

LOS ANGELES — If you’re thinking

half of the month, even though
September is historically a weak period
for the market. A strong manufacturing
report from the Institute for Supply
Management set off the rally two weeks
ago.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
46.24, or 0.4 percent, to close at
10,572.73. It was the index’s highest

in a terse letter to House Speaker Nancy

“It is essential that we keep things as
they are in the short term,” said Rep.
Travis W. Childers, D-Miss., another
conservative incumbent in a tight race,
whose district, like Marshall’s, voted for
Republican John McCain in the 2008
presidential race.
For this pair, one press release
announcing their opposition to Obama’s
plan was not enough. They were two of
31 jittery Democrats who signed a letter
urging Pelosi, D-Calif., and Majority
Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., to abandon
the Obama plan and extend to everyone
the Bush-era tax cuts due to expire at the
end of the year, according to one of its
authors, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah.

Raiders run defense faces another big test

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Linebacker
Kamerion Wimbley insists prob-
lems the Oakland Raiders had stop-
ping the run last week against the
Tennessee Titans are correctable.
They better be.
With Stephen Jackson and St.
Louis coming to town for Oakland’s
home opener, the Raiders won’t get
much of a break as they try to avoid
an 0-2 start for the fourth time in six
seasons.
“We just had a couple break-
downs here and there,” Wimbley
said Wednesday. “I don’t think it
was anything with the scheme or the
play-calling. We just had a couple
mental breakdowns that gave them
some big plays that allowed them to
get that high on us.”
The most significant breakdown
came late in the second quarter
when Tennessee scored two touch-
downs in a span of 1 minute, 53 sec-
onds. Titans running back Chris
Johnson provided the big blow with
a 76-yard touchdown run after
being shut down for most of the first
half.
That helped turn what had been a
promising start to the season for
Oakland’s run defense into a night-
marish afternoon that ended with
Tennessee handing the Raiders a
35-13 loss. It was the eighth straight
season-opening loss for Al Davis’
team.
“We played well on Johnson for
most of the game and he had that
one big run that helped his average
out,” Wimbley said. “Facing
Jackson, he’s not necessarily as fast
as Johnson is but he still has a lot of
stuff that you have to be aware of
and be careful about.”
Wimbley was part of Oakland’s
offseason defensive makeover. The
veteran linebacker was acquired
from Cleveland in March in
exchange for a third-round draft
pick and broke into the Raiders’
lineup early in training camp.
Oakland also signed free agent
defensive tackle John Henderson
and used their first two picks in the
draft on middle linebacker Rolando
McClain and defensive end Lamarr
Houston.
It all looked good on paper until
Johnson’s big run, which brought to
mind memories of 2009 when the
Raiders ranked 29th against the run
and 26th on defense overall. Safety

attempt near the line of scrimmage

Sequoia on upswing
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
So far, so good for the Sequoia High foot-
ball team.
The Cherokees enter Friday’s 7 p.m. home
game against Pinole Valley with a 2-0 record,
having rolled to a 44-0 win over Branham-
San Jose in their season opener before hold-
ing on for a pulsating 45-36 victory over
Galileo-San Francisco last week.
Having beaten last year’s San Francisco
Triple-A champion, Sequoia promises to
receive another stern test in Pinole Valley (2-
0), which is coming off a 23-21 win over
Rancho Cotate.
“And that’s the way we want it, to play
teams that will prepare us for league
(Peninsula Athletic Lake Division) play,” said
Cherokees coach Rob Poulos, who happens to
be a 1985 Pinole Valley graduate. “Pinole
Valley reminds me of Menlo-Atherton:
they’re big, physical and fast. They might be
the best team we face all year. They’re fun to
watch except when you’re playing them.”
The same could be said about Sequoia,
which rolled up 450 yards of total offense in
last week’s victory. Quarterback James
Beekley accounted for six — yes, six —
touchdowns, three of which were TD throws
of 45, 52 and 20 yards, all to wide receiver
Will Langi.
The duo has developed a nice chemistry
despite Langi missing most of the team’s
summer practices and workouts because he
was completing a community service project
in Morocco, Poulos said.
“But once Will returned, he got after it,”
Poulos said. “I would say this was a breakout
game for Will and for us passing the ball as
well. Last year, we were a run first team, and
I think this season we’re a little deeper at
receiver so we can go to four receiver sets. For
all three of Will’s catches to be touchdowns is
pretty remarkable.”
Remarkable would be an accurate way to

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Wilson Betemit hit his

Betemit, who homered and drove in four runs

Chen (10-7), who was 1-13 from 2007-09,
gave up three runs in the first two innings. He
went five innings, allowing three runs, six hits
and a walk. Chen, who started the year in the
minors, leads the Royals in victories.
Mark Ellis and Kurt Suzuki had run-scoring
singles in the A’s first. Matt Carson homered in
the second on the first pitch from Chen, giving
the A’s a 3-0 lead. Joakim Soria worked the ninth
for his 38th save in 40 opportunities and he has
converted 31 consecutive saves.
Cahill (16-7), who was 7-2 with a 1.69 ERA in
his previous nine starts, allowed six runs, six hits
and three walks in five innings.
While Cahill has limited right-handed hitters to
a .184 batting average, the lowest in the majors,
he has yielded 11 home runs to right-handed bat-
ters. Butler, one of three right-handed hitters in
the Kansas City lineup, homered in the fifth with
Mike Aviles aboard.
The second-place A’s dropped 10 games
behind the Texas Rangers, who beat Detroit 11-7,
in the AL West. They are a game below .500 (72-
73).
Chris Carter went 0 for 4 and is hitless in 24 at-

For second time,Mannings go at it
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
As if Peyton Manning doesn’t dominate the
TV screen enough, the hype meter will
explode heading into Sunday’s matchup
between his Indianapolis Colts and little
brother Eli’s New York Giants.
We wonder if any of Peyton’s multitude of
sponsors came up with a new advertisement
about brotherly love, sibling rivalries and dad
Archie’s mixed emotions.
On the field, the Colts are 0-1 after a dis-
tressingly mediocre performance in Houston,
a rival they had beaten in 15 of the previous
16 meetings. Considering that the Colts won
their first 14 games last season and might have
gone unbeaten had coach Jim Caldwell not sat
down Manning and his other regulars for
much of the final two matches, well, this sure
is a new season.
If the Colts are to repeat their AFC title of
2009, they must find a way to stop the run.
The Giants rushed for 118 yards against
Carolina in winning their opener, a mere 113
yards short of what Arian Foster put on Indy
in Houston.
So the Manning Matchup might not be as
significant as whether Brandon Jacobs and
Ahmad Bradshaw can run through, around
and over what seemed like an overmatched
Colts defense that again is without star safety
Bob Sanders (torn right biceps).
Then again, the four-time MVP and his kid
brother might light up the scoreboard with
their arms and their superb group of receivers.
Meanwhile, Colts safety Bob Sanders, the
2007 NFL defensive player of the year had
surgery Wednesday to repair a torn biceps
muscle in his right arm, an injury that could
end his season again. Team officials are not
yet saying how much time Sanders could
miss.
He did light work during a non-contact
practice Monday before having an MRI, then
met with Dr. James Andrews in Alabama to
get a second opinion Wednesday morning.
Apparently, Andrews determined the two-
time Pro Bowler needed surgery.
For Sanders, it’s the latest addition to his
long list of injuries.
Just 10 months ago, Sanders went on sea-
son-ending injured reserve with a torn biceps
in the left arm. And since winning the
league’s top defensive honor and signing a
$37.5 million contract after the 2007 season,
Sanders has played in just nine games. He’s
actually missed more games (49) than he’s
played in (48) during his seven-year career.
Can’t imagine the 5 1/2-point favorite Colts
starting 0-2 ...

Heisman Trust: No 2005 winner
There will be no 2005 Heisman winner now
that Reggie Bush has returned the award from
that year.
The head of the Heisman Trophy Trust said
Wednesday the award will be vacated.
“We’ve determined that there will be no
winner,” William Dockery said in an inter-
view with ESPN.
Bush announced Tuesday he would forfeit
the trophy he won with Southern California.
In June, the NCAA ruled him ineligible for
that season for receiving improper benefits.
The Heisman Trophy Trust requires players
to be in good standing with the NCAA to be
eligible for college football’s highest honor.
Former Texas quarterback Vince Young fin-
ished a distant second to Bush in the voting
that year and there was speculation he might
be awarded the Heisman if it were taken from
Bush.
But before Dockery could say it would stay
vacant, the Tennessee Titans’ quarterback told
reporters in Nashville, Tenn.: “I would not
want to have it, and don’t want the trophy.
Like I said, 2005 Reggie Bush is the Heisman
Trophy winner. Why would I want it?”
Dockery said Bush, now with the New
Orleans Saints, was in New York last week to
meet with some of the eight members of the
trust. He did not disclose what was discussed
in that meeting, but did say Bush was not
given any notice of whether the trust intended
to strip him of the award.
San Mateo grad on injured reserve
The Chargers have placed 17-year veteran
long snapper David Binn on injured reserve
with a hamstring injury, meaning he will miss
the rest of the season.
Binn was a rookie in 1994, the only season
the Chargers have reached the Super Bowl.
He was hurt in Monday night’s 21-14 loss
to Kansas City.
Binn played in 256 of the last 257 regular-
season games and all 12 of its playoff games
dating to 1994. The Chargers signed James
Dearth to replace Binn on the 53-man roster.
Sharpe on CBS hiatus
CBS says former NFL player Shannon
Sharpe is taking a break from football analy-
sis after a woman obtained a temporary
restraining order against him.
A hearing on the order is scheduled for
Monday in Atlanta. Documents filed in Fulton
County court show Sharpe was ordered not to
come within 200 yards of the woman and not
to have any contact with her or her family.
The Associated Press is not naming the
woman because she says Sharpe forced her to
have sex with him.
She also says he has threatened her life and
is conducting surveillance of her.

Best Bets
Friday
Burlingame (0-1) at
Gunn (1-0), 3:30 p.m.
The Panthers fell to Palo Alto, 21-9 in their
season opener last week. The Titans crushed
Yerba Buena 39-0 two weeks ago. They had a
bye last week.
Burlingame completes its schedule against
the Palo Alto schools when it takes on Gunn.
Despite last week’s loss, the Panthers saw
plenty of potential. Clean up the five turnovers
and the game against Palo Alto would have
been a lot closer. Gunn is no pushover. The
Titans finished in a three-way tie atop of the
Santa Clara Valley Athletic League’s El
Camino standings last year and earned the
division’s Central Coast Section berth.
Menlo-Atherton (0-2) at
Jefferson (1-1), 7 p.m.
Los Gatos routed the Bears last week, 35-3.
The Indians are coming off a tough 13-12 loss
to San Marin-Novato.
After opening the season against CCS titans
Wilcox and Los Gatos, M-A can breathe a lit-
tle easier against Jefferson. In their two games
this season, the Bears have been outscored 69-
23.
Jefferson, so far, has proved the move to the
Ocean Division might not be so far fetched.
The Indians were a failed 2-point conversion
away from beating San Marin last week.
Terra Nova (0-2) at Pioneer (1-1), 7 p.m.
The Tigers fell to CCS power Wilcox last
week, 27-14. The Mustangs picked up their
first win of the season last week, holding off
The Rest
Friday
Woodside (0-1) at Los Altos (1-0), 3:15 p.m.
The Wildcats had a bye last week after
opening the season with a 32-20 loss to
Sacramento. The Eagles blasted Mills 55-7
last week in their season opener.
Los Altos rushed for over 300 yards last
week in the win over Mills. These two teams
met in Week 3 last season, with Los Altos
coming away with a 20-6 win.
Leigh (0-1) at Half Moon Bay (1-1), 6 p.m.
The Longhorns suffered a disappointing 30-
28 loss to Westmont last week. The Cougars
blasted Scotts Valley, 39-14. Half Moon Bay
running back Dominic Sena had a monster
game against Scotts Valley. Not only did he
rush for 218 yards, he scored on runs of 21, 68
and 7 yards.

Aragon’s Sam Pacholuk rushed for 63 yards

35 yards during the Dons’ 27-15 loss to San
Mateo last week.
North Salinas 12-7.
After playing Sacred Heart Cathedral and
Wilcox, things don’t get any easier for Terra
Nova, which faces another CCS stalwart
Pioneer. The Tigers’ passing attack was essen-
tially “shut down” against the Chargers, as
QB Chris Forbes managed “only” 190 yards
through the air. After averaging nearly 30
points last season, Pioneer has fallen way off
week, blasting Riordan 56-26. The Vikings
lost a shootout to St Patrick/St. Vincent 49-37.
Sacred Heart Prep racked up 465 yards of
rushing last week, led by Colin Terndrup’s
175 yards on just 13 carries. QB John Geary
was also effective, completing 5 of 9 passes
for 116 yards and a score.
These teams faced off last season. Valley
Christian jumped out to a 10-0 lead before the
Gators rallied for a commanding 42-23 victo-
ry. The Vikings eventually made it to the NCS
Division IV semifinals.
Carlmont (1-1) at San Mateo (1-0), 7 p.m.
The Scots were blanked last week by
Willow Glen, 34-0. The Bearcats beat cross-
town rival Aragon, 27-15.
A week after a convincing 44-22 win over
Santa Cruz to open the season, Carlmont was
brought back to earth with the beating it took
last week. The Scots gave up 377 yards of
total offense while generating only 168 yards
of its own. San Mateo got a huge emotional
boost by beating Aragon for the first time in
11 tries. The Bearcats chewed up the Dons
defense on the ground, amassing 286 yards.

total of 19 points in two games.
Menlo School (1-1) at Justin
Siena-Napa (0-2), 7 p.m.
The Knights got past defending CCS
Division IV champion Carmel, 34-29. The
Braves were buried by Sacred Heart Cathedral
last week, 34-6.
Menlo School exacted a bit of revenge in
beating Carmel, which beat the Knights in a
CCS championship game last year.
Justin Siena has been in the last two North
Coast Section Division IV championship
games, winning the section title in 2008.
This will be the second meeting in as many
years between these squads. Menlo won 48-
39 last year. The Braves lost their first four
games last season and still advanced to the
NCS Division IV championship game.
Aragon (0-1) at Lincoln-SJ (0-1), 7 p.m.
The Dons wasted opportunities in a 27-15
loss to San Mateo in their opener last week.
Lincoln opened its season with a 16-7 loss to
Santa Teresa.
Aragon had its chances against San Mateo,
but five turnovers — including three inside the
San Mateo 10-yard line — led to three
Bearcat touchdowns. On the positive side, the
Dons proved they could run between the tack-
les — something they couldn’t do last season.
Eight different RBs accounted for 241 yards
of rushing offense for the Dons. James Egan
looks to be a reliable receiving target as he
finished with seven catches for 80 yards.
Just two years ago, Lincoln went 6-4 over-
all and 4-3 in the tough Mt. Hamilton
Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic
League, including a 14-12 win over Aragon.
Hillsdale (2-0) at San Jose (0-1), 7 p.m.
For the second week in a row, the Knights
crushed their opponent. This time it was a 41-
0 win over Yerba Buena last week. The
Bulldogs fell to Harker School, 14-6.
Hillsdale had all facets of its game working
last week. The Knights rushed for 164 yards
and three touchdowns, the defense returned an
interception for a score and got yet another
touchdown on an Anthony Huni 77-yard punt
return. Last year, Hillsdale put a 42-8 beat
down on San Jose.
Saturday
Christopher-Gilroy (0-2) at
Capuchino (0-0), 1 p.m.
The Cougars fell to Live Oak last week, 21-
3. The Mustangs’ game against South City
was postponed in the wake of last week’s gas-
line explosion and subsequent fire storm.
It will be interesting to see where
Capuchino’s head is at following an emotion-
al week. You can bet the Mustangs will be
chomping at the bit, however, to get on the
field and hit someone other than themselves.
Thursday • Sept. 16, 2010 13
Last year, however, the Lions managed just
one victory.
Monta Vista-Cupertino (1-0-1) at
South San Francisco (1-0), 7 p.m.
The Matadors tied Prospect last week, 7-7.
The Warriors’ game against Capuchino last
week was postponed. Monta Vista is led by
Jordan Sheade, who has rushed for 317 yards
and three TDs in two games.
Saturday
Encinal-Alameda (1-0) at Serra (1-1), 1 p.m.
The Jets rolled over El Cerrito last week,
59-20. The Padres knocked off East Bay
power Monte Vista-Danville 28-21 last week.
Serra, coming off a shellacking at the hands
of national powerhouse De La Salle, rebound-
ed with a statement win against the Mustangs
— perhaps the second best team in the East
Bay, behind DLS. The Padres rushed for 284
yards, led by Erich Wilson’s 149 on 30 car-
ries. Serra scored the final two touchdowns of
the game to rally from a 21-14 deficit.
Encinal is one of the top teams in the East
Bay, having advanced to the NCS Division III
championship game, losing to Marin
Catholic-Kenfield, 27-0.
CSM (1-0) at Reedley (0-1), 7 p.m.
Reedley gave Foothill all it could handle
last week before falling 23-21. The Bulldogs
opened the season last week with a 32-24 win
over Fresno last week. CSM, despite some
moments of sloppy play, did what all great
teams do — overcome mistakes. QB Julian
Bernard was effective, completing 10 of 17
passes for 210 yards and two long scoring
tosses to wideout Rahsaan Vaughn.
Bernard added another score on the ground.
King’s Academy (1-1) at
Scotts Valley (0-2), 2 p.m.
The Knights were dealt a 21-14 loss by
Homestead last Thursday. Scotts Valley was
crushed by Half Moon Bay last week, 39-14.
King’s Academy running back Amir
Carlisle was held in check last week, rushing
for just 35 yards on 11 carries. That’s a far cry
from the 213 yards on 12 carries he had the
week before. He made up for it, however, by
catching four passes for 125 yards and two
TDs. Scotts Valley’s offense wasn’t terrible
last week — but its defense was, allowing
418 yards of total offense to the Cougars.
Lincoln-SF (0-1) at El Camino (1-0), 2
The Mustangs are coming off a 34-8 loss to
Tamalpais. The Colts held off Washington-SF
last week, 21-14. El Camino appeared to be
on its way to an easy win last week, jumping
out to a 21-0 advantage. But the Colts needed
a Justin Eclavea interception deep in El
Camino territory to preserve the win.
In two games, Lincoln has been out-scored
75-15.

Chase is on for veteran driver Gordon
By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jeff Gordon has one win in
his last 103 races and is mired in the longest
losing streak of his illustrious career. Yet as he
heads into the Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship, he likes his title chances.
Why? Because the four-time champion
believes consistency can carry him to a fifth
title.
“Consistency has always been one of our
strengths, which is why I think the old points
system worked well for us,” said Gordon, who
won his last title in 2001 under the season-
long championship structure, but has not fin-
ished higher than second in five Chase appear-
ances.
“We’ll approach these 10 races with the
same mindset. Sure, you’re trying to win each
race, but 10 races is longer than many people
realize. You want to make sure you get the
absolute best finish you can each week, and
not put yourself into a position where you end
up with a 30th- or 35th-place finish.
“Those are the things that allow you to put
top-fives and top-10’s together to win champi-
onships.”
Gordon is one of five drivers headed into
Sunday’s Chase opener at New Hampshire
with a 60-point deficit to leader Denny

describe Beekley’s performance, too. In addi-
tion to throwing for three scores, the 6-foot-4,
195-pound junior had TD runs of 14, 24 and 4
yards. Beekley has improved in every facet of
the game, and Poulos said he’s most proud of
his quarterback’s ability to read defenses
when he’s running the ball.
Beekley’s ability to devastate defenses with
his arm and feet make him one of the best dual
threats in the PAL. But what makes the
Cherokees so dangerous offensively is their
balance. In addition to two tremendous play-
makers in Beekley and Langi, Sequoia has
plenty of talent at other positions.
Against Galileo, tailbacks Isaias Flores and
Josh Lauese rushed for 114 and 74 yards,
respectively. The burly 6-foot, 195-pound
Lauese bowled over countless defenders, and
has been a force on the defensive side of the
ball as well from his safety position.

“We needed to finish a little better,”

night’s race at Richmond,

He’s spent the past sev-
Jeff Gordon eral weeks downplaying
his failure to win a race
this season, instead choosing to focus on his
13 top-10 finishes over the first 26 races. He
was in position to win about five different
times, but came up short and settled for fin-
ishing second or third six different times this
season.
So he now finds himself at the back of the
pack needing a near flawless run at New
Hampshire to close the gap on the champi-
onship leaders.
But there are many who believe the cham-
pion will have to win at least one race during
the Chase, and there will be no room for even
one poor finish in such a stout field. It makes
the opener at New Hampshire critical under
the seeding system, particularly for the drivers
who already find themselves 60 points out.
Among them is Carl Edwards, who had a
red-hot summer to toss his name into the ring
of contenders. Still winless since the 2008
finale, he has managed to break free of the
“There was a moment in the Branham game
when Josh came up and went through four
guys on one tackle,” Poulos said. “It looked
like a bowling ball had just hit the pins. And
against Galileo on one of Will’s touchdowns,
Josh was blocking down field and absolutely
de-cleated a kid. The player must have flown
close to five yards in the air. It was definitely
an ‘oh wow’ moment.”
Sequoia has been receiving contributions
from all across the board. Oscar Alejandre, a
5-8, 140-pound junior cornerback, leads the
team with two interceptions. And freshman
sensation Matt Jenkins has been a standout in
the kicking game, going 11 for 12 on point-
after attempts, 2 for 2 on field goals and boot-
ing five kickoffs for touchbacks. Jenkins is
also making an impact as a reserve outside
linebacker.
Coming off a 7-3 season, Sequoia entered
the year with plenty of confidence. The
Cherokees returned the majority of their
starters, added an influx of talent and fully

Raiders coach Tom Cable, though, isn’t

“See, this is the mode we have got to get out

enough. We have got to stay to this level, to
this vision that we have. A standard of play if
you will, and don’t compromise it.”

Edwards has eight top-10 finishes in the last
nine races, and the exception was a 12-place
finish at Bristol. So long as he qualifies well,
he thinks he’s got a shot Sunday.
“It’s a short race without a lot of cautions,
so qualifying will be important,” he said.
“We’ve been qualifying a lot better lately and
our setups have been pretty good, so I’m very
optimistic that we will be contenders at
Loudon. We need to start off the Chase on the
right foot and not get behind from the start.”
Edwards is at the bottom of the pack with
teammate Matt Kenseth, the 2003 series
champion who has been up-and-down this
season and has just one top-five in the last 14
races. Kenseth has had three crew chiefs this
season and managed to stay inside the top 12
despite the turmoil.
But New Hampshire is not a great track for
him. He was 17th there in June, and in 21
career starts has only 11 top-10s.
“I’m really happy that we’re a part of the
Chase this year, now our focus has to be to
make sure that we go out and perform the best
we can so that we’re able to close up some of

more than to end their long postseason
drought.
They’ve only made two previous trips to the
section playoffs, in 1986 and 1994. Whatever
happens Friday, Poulos knows playing a
tough team in Pinole Valley will only help his
squad as it marches forward. Last year, the
Cherokees rolled to a 4-0 record against non-
league opponents, outscoring them by a com-
bined margin of 151-36. While the results
might have inflated Sequoia’s ego, it didn’t
properly prepare it for league action.
“Last year, we didn’t have enough of a chal-
lenge (in non-league) and therefore we
weren’t ready for the physicality of our first
couple of league games,” said Poulos, refer-
ring to blowout losses to Jefferson and
Hillsdale that took the Cherokees out of title
contention. “This year, we’re playing some
teams that are going to get us better prepared
for league. Our guys right now are confident
but not cocky. They believe in their abilities,
but they know how quickly things can fall
apart if they lose focus or concentration.”

Plant containers: Front and center
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Summer is winding down, and
over the coming weeks flowerbeds
and planted containers will be offer-
ing up their last gasps of color. It’s
time to start thinking ahead to fall.
When planted containers start
looking tired, it’s time for a change.
Just as there are plants that thrive
during the heat of the summer, there
are others that thrive in the cooler,
shorter days of fall. Shrubs and cool
season annuals and perennials are
excellent for replanting tired con-
tainers. A trip to your local garden
center will provide a wide variety of
choices.
Many gardeners don’t consider
using shrubs in containers, but they
should. Shrubs are often the best
choice for fall and winter container
plantings, perfect for enlivening an
outdoor space or accenting an
entrance. Whether deciduous or
evergreen, shrubs focus your atten-
tion on foliage and structure rather
than on flowers, which can be fleet-
ing.
In colder regions of the country,
ornamental conifers are a good
choice for containers. As most
conifers are native to mountainous
regions, they’re well suited to with-
standing cold temperatures.
Planting containers with evergreens

months to an empty container on
your deck, patio or flanking your
front door.
One of the primary advantages of
using shrubs in your containers is
that, unlike annuals and perennials,
they tend only to grow seasonally,
usually in the spring and summer
months. In other words, if you plant
a shrub in a container at this time of
year, it will stay roughly the same
size over the coming months. This
is ideal for containers placed by an
entrance.
Deciduous shrubs are often good
choices for southern regions, where
they will often hold their foliage
well into the winter months. They
also offer the advantage of a variety
of foliage color and texture.
Variegated leaved shrubs are perfect
for dark corners, while dark-leaved
shrubs are perfect for adding a dra-
matic accent.

Fire damage more
than $37 million
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Last week’s massive explosion and fire in
San Bruno caused nearly $38 million in dam-
age to homes, property and public infrastruc-
ture, a spokesman for the city said
Wednesday.
The blast, which happened at about 6:15
p.m. Thursday when a gas pipeline ruptured,
destroyed an estimated $31.25 million in
homes and private property in the explosion
area, said Burlingame police Capt. Mike
Matteucci, a spokesman for the San Bruno
explosion.
He said an additional estimated $6.66 mil-
lion worth of public infrastructure, including
streets, was destroyed in the explosion and
fire, which killed four people and injured
more than 50 others.
Matteucci said the damage estimates were
rough assessments made by city building and
planning officers as they walked through
damaged or destroyed houses.

“I’m back now. You have the right to know. I
will make sure you will get every single detail
and information,” the governor said.
Schwarzenegger was briefed on the situation
by San Bruno’s Police Chief Neil Telford and
Fire Chief Dennis Haag along with Matt
Bettenhausen, the secretary of the California
Emergency Management Agency.
The governor requested President Barack
Obama sign a Presidential Disaster Declaration
yesterday for the area after 39 homes were com-
pletely destroyed by the fire.

facing the nation’s millions of miles of pipeline.
“It’s the low-hanging fruit,” said Rick
Kessler with The Pipeline Safety Trust, a
Bellingham, Wash., advocacy group. “There’s
no increase in mileage of pipelines that must
be inspected, there’s no standards for technol-
ogy for inspections or repairing pipelines.”
“If this is a starting point, fine. If this is all
the administration has to say, it is wholly inad-
equate,” he said.
The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Material
Safety Administration is directly responsible
for inspecting interstate pipelines, and has
only 100 inspectors to do it. Oversight of
intrastate lines is left to local regulators, who
have in most cases left the inspections to utili-
ties.
Hersman said the NTSB, which is investigat-
ing the California blast and two other pipeline
accidents, is concerned that PHMSA relies too
heavily on documents submitted by the compa-
nies it regulates, rather than its own on site ver-
ification of practices and procedures.
“We want PHMSA to be on the ground doing
Schwarzenegger said he did not cut his trip to
Asia short because he trusted the state’s lead-
ership to respond appropriately to the disaster.
He praised both Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado
and Bettenhausen for helping to restore calm
to the area.
More than 400 firefighters and police offi-
cers responded to the blaze, a mutual aid
response success, Bettenhausen said.
“My prayers go to the victims and families
of this tragedy,” the governor said after mak-
ing a walking tour of the neighborhood.
Schwarzenegger said the investigation was
still too early to lay blame.
“We can’t jump to conclusions. There is lots
of speculation. They are going to investigate
exactly what happened, whether there was
something missing or a weak link so that this
never happens again,” Schwarzenegger said.
the inspections,” Hersman said. “We think it’s
PHMSA’s responsibility to trust but verify.”
Federal investigators said they were examin-
ing whether Pacific Gas & Electric workers fol-
lowed proper emergency procedures after a gas
transmission line exploded into an inferno that
killed at least four people and destroyed nearly
40 homes in a San Francisco suburb.
PG&E has said the pipeline, built in 1956,
had to be shut down manually because it was
not equipped with automatic shut-off valves.
The pipeline administration is the latest
agency that lawmakers and safety advocates
say have become so close to an industry it reg-
ulates that it has lost sight of the safety mission.
Two years ago, Congress held extensive
hearings on reports by Federal Aviation
Administration whistleblowers who said
inspectors were allowing airlines to fly passen-
gers on planes without complying with safety
directives.
Two scathing federal inspector general
reports on the Minerals Management Service
highlighted drug use and sex among drilling
agency employees and industry executives dur-
ing the George W. Bush administration. It also
said drilling regulators had accepted gifts and
trips from oil and gas companies and negotiated
to go work for the industry while overseeing it.

yesterday for more analysis. The governor
heaped praise on first responders to the disaster
and for the quick response by local leaders and
volunteers to care for the victims.
The city is in full active recovery mode,
Ruane said.
So far, 271 people have been relocated due to
the disaster, the mayor said.
The city has been bringing victims of the dis-
aster into the neighborhood to scope the con-
tents of their destroyed homes and secure any
valuables.
Ruane praised local firefighters for attacking
the firestorm.
“The disaster could have been a lost worse,”
Ruane said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Congress would increase from $1 million to
$2.5 million the maximum fine for the most
serious violations involving deaths, injuries or
major environmental harm related to oil and gas
pipelines.
It also would pay for an additional 40 inspec-
tors and safety regulators over the next four
years.
Yet progress toward tough new laws is
unlikely any time soon with Congress in elec-
tion-year gridlock. Some earlier proposals to
improve pipeline safety have languished on
Capitol Hill over concerns by energy compa-
nies.
The White House proposal follows several
accidents, including an oil spill from a pipeline
owned by a Canadian company near Marshall,
Mich., that sent an estimated 820,000 to 1 mil-
lion gallons spewing into the Kalamazoo River
in late July. Another spill from a pipeline by the
same company, Enbridge Inc., was reported
within the last week in suburban Chicago.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said
the DOT “needs stronger authority to ensure
the continued safety and reliability of our
nation’s pipeline network.”
PHMSA, which regulates the transportation
of hazardous materials, falls under LaHood’s
responsibility as part of the Transportation
Department.
PG&E Company President Chris Johns met
with Schwarzenegger and was at the scene yes-
terday while the governor toured destroyed
homes.
The company has pledged $100 million to
help restore the neighborhood.
“People want answers,” said Johns, who
defended the company’s response to the disaster
despite workers not being able to initially close
the gas main that fueled the huge fireball. The
company will consider installing more remote-
controlled valves in its system to shut off the gas
in case of emergencies, he said.
PG&E crews had to manually shut off the
valve, which was not done for hours after the
gas pipe exploded at about 6:20 p.m.
“We turned off the valves as quickly as we
could,” Johns said.

White roofs promoted to save energy
By Sean O’Driscoll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Herb Van Gent points his
infrared gun at a square of still unpainted gray
shingle and clicks the trigger. He gets an
immediate temperature reading: 143 degrees
and rising. Then he aims it 5 feet away to a
square of roof I have just painted: 98 degrees
and decreasing.
He smiles.
“A 45-degree difference and we’re only on
the first coat,” he says. That means it also will
be cooler inside the building, he says, saving
energy.
Its 11 a.m. and we are on the roof of a New
York retirement home, rolling out a thick,
shiny white paint. Van Gent is one of a volun-
teer group that has come up here to paint the
roof as part of a city-sponsored “cool roof”
program.
The idea of painting roofs white is catching
on across the country; Energy Secretary
Steven Chu has said it could contribute to the
fight against global warming.
“Cool roofs are one of the quickest and low-
est-cost ways we can reduce our global car-
bon emissions and begin the hard work of
slowing climate change,” said Chu in July,
while announcing that Department of Energy
buildings would be painted white wherever
possible.
While white roofs keep homes cool in sum-
mer by letting less heat in, they have little
impact on winter heating bills, according to
the Cool Roof Rating Council, a non-profit
group created in 1998 to research and imple-
ment the technology. That’s generally because
the sun is less intense in winter, the group
said, and less important as a heat source. The

roofs do not let any more heat escape than
other roofs, it said.
In Arizona, cool roofs are mandatory for
state and state-funded buildings, while
Philadelphia has an ambitious green energy
plan that put cool roofs at its center.
In New York, with Mayor Michael
Bloomberg’s blessing, the Department of
Buildings and other public and private groups
have vowed to paint 1 million square feet of
roof on city-sponsored community buildings.
Organizers have advertised on Craigslist for
volunteers, promising that the painting is

ment buildings. The Cool Roof Council pro-
vides information on materials and resources
at its website, Coolroofs.org.
Philadelphia recently held a “cool roofs for
free” competition, and a block of row houses
won.
“The biggest difference is definitely when
we wake up in the morning,” said Terry Jack,
who organized her block’s winning entry. “I
noticed the difference the very next morning
after they painted the roof. It was a good 15
degrees cooler inside; it was much more liv-
able.”
Workers are painting the roofs on both sides
of her street with reflective white paint, and
also insulating the houses. City officials hope
to show that a white roof will reduce the
amount of air conditioning used, saving ener-
gy and reducing electricity bills.
According to former California energy
commissioner Arthur Rosenfeld, an average,
1,000-square-foot roof painted white can save
10 tons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of
emissions from one car for about 2 1/2 years.
On a national scale, turning roofs cool could
eliminate 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide,
roughly the same as taking 20 million cars off

enough to fund all the services. As such,
some things were left behind. Libraries
were unfunded as a result, and some new
parents are frustrated over the closure.
Tonight, the board will discuss School
Force and setting priorities for the use of
future funds.
“Kids have a right to use books we
paid for with public funds,” said David
Long, parent of a new kindergarten stu-
dent at Central Elementary School.
Unfortunately there may not be much
opportunity for change this year.
Superintendent Emerita Orta-
Camilleri explained that everyone wants
what’s best for the kids but finances did
not allow for all services to remain.
Parents and the community dug deep,
but it wasn’t enough to fund everything.
Keeping a school library open is a bit
more complicated that it seems. State
law dictates which people, basically not
volunteers, run school libraries. In addi-
tion, special one-time federal funding is
slated to soon hit local districts. While
QUILT

Students were given the chance in
English to write down their feelings about
Thursday, said technology teacher
Kathryn Marinos. Those pieces of paper
are being “quilted” together to create
murals for local police officers and fire-
fighters, she said.
Students enjoyed the thank-you process
for a variety of reasons.
Seventh grade student Avani Gepalaga
liked reading the letters.
“People look happy on the outside, but
inside they’re just not happy,” she said.
But it’s not always as comfortable to
ask people about such topics. Gepalaga,
whose family was temporarily evacuated,
read with interest notes from people who
lost loved ones and were still grateful for
the work of firefighters for keeping things
from being worse.
There were simple notes that read,
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
IT needs and stabilized rent for county-
owned facilities.
With an exception of some one-time
expenses and loan transfers, most of the
balance will be sent to reserves, said
Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales.
The year-end variances aren’t that sur-
prising based on trends both locally and
statewide, according to Farrales and
Budget Director Jim Saco who gave the
fund update yesterday to the Board of
Supervisors’ Finance and Operations
Committee.
Those variances included a moderate
increase in property transfer taxes and
declines in supplemental property taxes.
Local sales tax revenue dropped and
investments are returning less because of
the district would like to rehire union
employees for the library positions when
possible, there are other considerations
before such a decision can be made. For
example, teachers agreed to four fur-
lough days taken at the end of the school
year. Under the contract, any new state
or federal money that becomes available
gives teachers the green light to reopen
negotiations to lessen the number of fur-
lough days.
Board President Cathy Wright under-
stood the parent’s frustration but there
simply is not enough money to maintain
all the services.
“It’s an uphill battle,” said Wright,
who has a daughter in middle school,
when access to an on-campus library
would help with research projects.
School Force raised over $1.6 million
for the current school year. A majority of
the funds raised, over $800,000, helped
keep class sizes smaller, said School
Force President Ardythe Andrews. In
kindergarten through third grade, classes
are 25:1 rather than 30:1. There were
also funds dedicated to music, reading
and science specialists and maintaining
the middle school dean.
Andrews hopes the frustration will
inspire parents to become involved and
Student’s poem
Thanks for fighting the fire,
When all was dire,
You kept us safe,
‘Cause [you’re] the best,
You refused to rest,
Throughout the night,
You put up a fight,
And without further ado,
I,
Would like to thank you.
“Thank you for risking your life for oth-
ers” and “Thank you for saving us.” Other
people drew pictures of the scene and
some took the time to write poems.
Twelve-year-old Lauren Lapuyade
enjoyed one poem which was not signed.
She heard about Thursday’s explosion and
fire through a text message from her mom.
A good friend’s house was spared, but the
people who owned the house behind it
were not as lucky.
Lapuyade’s biggest challenge has been
her little brother who doesn’t quite under-
stand what happened.
more conservative approaches.
Despite the pleasant excess, the coun-
ty’s ongoing structural deficit stands at
$70 million for fiscal year 2009-10 and is
now projected to hit $124 million by
2014-15 without action. If the county
wants to keep its general fund reserves
beyond $100 million, per its reserves pol-
icy, there must be “significant headway”
made in slashing the structural deficit,
Farrales and Saco wrote in a subcommit-
tee memo.
“Seventy-million dollars is still a consid-
erable size and it means programs and
services. What we need to do is look at
them differently to keep providing them
while addressing the deficit,” Farrales said.
Doing so, though, will be challenging
when the county is faced with stagnant
revenue — “some bright spots but still
unstable,” she said — ongoing labor nego-
tiations and the need to improve or replace
existing capital like the women’s jail.
There are also future increases in employ-

advocate for their cause.
“The best voice you have is one that
can lead to change,” she said.
In the meantime, district officials are
urging parents to take advantage of city
library services.
It seemed as if San Bruno students
would be in a similar situation this
school year. Fortunately, just before
school began, the district was able to
create a plan in which each elementary
school receives a certain number of
hours of service depending on its popu-
lation. Schools receive 30 minutes per
week for each grouping of 20 children
enrolled. Additionally, 33 percent of that
total is added on top to allow time for
maintenance like shelving and repairs.
This works out to a range of library
hours spanning from 7.5 hours a week at
Crestmoor Elementary to 14.96 hours at
Belle Air Elementary, according to a
staff report prepared for tonight’s meet-
ing. Extra hours was added for Parkside
Intermediate School.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday,
Sept. 16 at the District Office, 2960
Hallmark Drive in Belmont. For more
information, or to get involved with
School Force visit www.schoolforce.org.
Students noted a change on campus
since returning Monday with teachers
being a bit more lenient when it came to
assignments and initial fear of greater
destruction starting to wane.
“We’ve all come together,” said 12-
year-old Ashley Hirokawa. “Nothing like
this has ever happened in San Bruno.”
Dulce Arroyo, 13, was afraid friends
were hurt or were dealing with losing their
home after returning to school Monday to
find a number of people absent. Since
then, people have been located.
In addition, the school is collecting let-
ters to send to the popular home makeover
show asking it to consider coming to San
Bruno to help rebuild.
“Help us out,” she said. “We have so
many homes that need to be rebuilt and
we’ll have more volunteers than they’ve
ever seen ready to help.”
School officials were not sure how
quickly the murals will be put up. Anyone
can write a letter for the “Extreme
Makeover” pledge. Letters are due to

San Bruno, by Friday.
ee retirement contributions, long identi-
fied as a primary budget concern for all
jurisdictions including the county.
The uncertainties of the state budget is
also hanging over the county’s head.
“If it ever passes, we’ll know the
impacts but we’ll undoubtedly be coming
back to the board closer to the end of the
calendar year after something is adopted,”
Farrales said.
The Board of Supervisors is scheduled
to hold final hearings on its tentative
budget Sept. 28 and will follow with a
board budget workshop Oct. 5. The idea
of that last meeting is to shift how the
county allocates resources based on a sys-
tem that uses results and outcomes. In
other words, the county will figure out
what it wants but also what it can afford
with the money it has rather than the other
way around.
An update of the structural budget
deficit is also set for Dec. 14 followed by
the mid-year budget update.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
GEORGE W. CHAPMAN, JR.
Case Number 119136
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: George W. Chapman,
Jr. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by: Sabrena Chapman in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition of Probate requests that
Sabrena Chapman be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 20, 2010 at
9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Oman in rare spotlight
after bail deal with Iran
By Adam Schreck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MUSCAT, Oman — Oman’s royal leaders
have long preferred the understated approach:
No high-rises like their Gulf neighbors and
policies that quietly balance close ties with
both Washington and Tehran.
Now their role as the middlemen — and
maybe even the money men — to free
American Sarah Shourd from Iranian custody
has drawn rare attention to the sultanate and
its role as low-key diplomat.
Omani officials have offered few details
since spiriting Shourd from Tehran to a royal
airfield aboard a private jet.
The 32-year-old American was scheduled
for a medical exam Wednesday, her first full
day of freedom in more than 13 months, but
has given no indication of her plans beyond
Muscat — a jumble of low-rise seaside build-
ings and elegant minarets. Her mother says
her daughter has serious medical problems,
including a breast lump and precancerous cer-
vical cells.
Firefight involving U.S.-Iraq
forces leaves six dead
BAGHDAD — For the second time in less
than a week, U.S. forces were drawn into
deadly fighting against insurgents — a
reminder of the ongoing dangers American
forces face well after President Barack Obama
declared a formal end to combat.
With a persistent insurgency, ongoing sec-
tarian tensions and no agreement on a new
government after six months of wrangling,
stabilizing Iraq before all American forces
leave still seems a distant dream.
Wednesday’s raid, in which at least six peo-
ple were killed, was in the former insurgent
THE DAILY JOURNAL
There has been little
official explanation about
Oman’s role in Shourd’s
release, except for a
Foreign Ministry state-
ment thanking Iran and
expressing hope for future
steps aimed at repairing
relations between
Sarah Shourd Washington and Tehran.
President Barack Obama
and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton both thanked Oman for its assis-
tance.
“The Americans discovered the Omanis can
be a good go-between, especially when there’s
a human dimension,” said Mustafa Alani of
the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center.
“Tehran always opens its door to the Omanis.”
To help secure Shourd’s release, Oman
played intermediary for a half-million-dollar
bail that satisfied Iranian authorities and
apparently did not violate U.S. economic
sanctions. The source of the bail payment has
not been disclosed.
Around the world
stronghold of Fallujah — highlighting the per-
sistent danger that al-Qaida-linked militants
still pose despite years of efforts by both Iraqi
and U.S. forces to root them out.
Insurgents seem to have redoubled their
efforts this summer to target Iraqi security
forces taking over from the departing
Americans — nine Iraqi soldiers died
Wednesday in a roadside bombing while two
police officers in Baghdad were shot and
killed. The militants are trying to undermine
the so-called “Sons of Iraq” — the anti-al-
Qaida militia that was instrumental in reduc-
ing violence.
