Medical pot co-op drops plans

Application withdrawn because of county’s ‘lack of commitment’
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The operator of an already
approved medical marijuana dis-
pensary withdrew his business
license application yesterday just
before the Board of Supervisors was
set to discuss reversing an earlier
decision to grant it.
Bradley Ehikian, who was poised
to operate the Peninsula’s first per-
mitted dispensary, said San Mateo
County’s commitment to providing
legal medical marijuana does not
match his own.
“The county simply does not have
the will to allow any facility in the
county,” Ehikian said.
In October, Ehikian was granted a
business license for the Sans Souci
Medical Collective in a 14,000-
square-foot building at 2676 Bay
Road in the unincorporated area
near Redwood City’s Fair Oaks
neighborhood. But Sheriff Greg
Munks, District Attorney Jim Fox
and 39 residents who were worried
about the size and location appealed
the license board decision to the
Board of Supervisors.
After hours of waiting for other
items — the 10 a.m. appeal wasn’t
heard until close to 1 p.m. —
Ehikian made the matter moot by
ending an effort he said has taken 17
months and hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Ehikian wanted to honor the
memory of his mother and grand-
mother with what he said would be
a high-standard medical clinic with
a research aspect. Although he and
lawyer Ted Hannig said they believe
the county’s position flies in the
face of state law, he didn’t want to
spend further time in vain.
“We do this because we are com-

Officials to SF:
Drop toll idea
Proposal would mean $6
fee to enter/leave the city
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Officials in San Mateo County are urging the San Francisco

County Transportation Authority to scrap an idea to charge
commuters up to $6 a day to enter and exit the city on the coun-
ty line during peak hours.
The authority meets Dec. 14 to decide whether to continue
studying “congestion pricing” along the county line and for
San Francisco’s financial district.
The authority is considering three options for charging the
toll at the southern gateway with San Mateo County and two
separate options for the financial district.
Hillsborough Councilman Tom Kasten, who also sits on the
board of San Mateo County’s City/County Association of
Governments, drafted a letter that local officials signed to urge
the authority to eliminate the southern gateway option from
further consideration.
“This would have a significant, negative impact on San
Mateo County residents,” according to Kasten’s letter.
The plan would be unfair to Daly City residents who live

Car, foot chase along San Mateo/Belmont border
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two juveniles were arrested, with the
aid of a California Highway Patrol hel-
icopter, after fleeing from Belmont
police and crashing a stolen car into a
fire hydrant and parked car at the inter-
section of 39th Avenue and El Camino
Real in San Mateo yesterday morning.
A Belmont police officer spotted the
juveniles driving in the stolen white
Honda Civic yesterday at about 9:45
a.m. but the driver fled the scene before
the officer could stop the car, according
to police.
After crashing the vehicle, the two
juveniles fled on foot and tried to hide
in neighborhood backyards, according
to police.
The two juveniles were located with
the assistance of San Mateo police and
a CHP air unit.
Neither suspect was seriously injured
in the crash, according to police.
The two will be booked on charges
related to possessing stolen property,
leaving the scene of a collision and
resisting arrest. Their names are not
being released due to their ages. The
driver is 17 and the passenger is 16,
according to police.

Carlmont High is $5,000 closer to replac-

stolen over the holiday weekend after Wells
Fargo made a donation to the school.
Sometime between Wednesday night and
Monday morning, unknown suspects forced
entry to a classroom where computer equip-
ment was stored, according to police. On
Tuesday, Wells Fargo today announced a
$5,000 donation to help the school get back
the lost merchandise.
The thieves made off with 25 white Apple
MacBooks and 30 black Apple iPod
Touches. The equipment was owned by the
school and used for instructional purposes.
“When we heard about what happened and
how it impacts our local students, we want-
ed to step up and help,” said Wendy Haller,
Wells Fargo’s Mission-Coastal regional
president.
The technology was used in social studies
classes to engage students to supplement
instruction. The district will work to replace
the items.
Anyone with information on this crime is
asked to call the Belmont Police Department
at 595-7400 or the Belmont Crime Tip Line

Does the IRS owe you money?
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Internal Revenue Service owes money
to 176 taxpayers in San Mateo County, but
isn’t sure how to return the cash.
The IRS has $164.6 million in undelivered
refund checks. A total of 111,893 taxpayers
are due one or more refund checks that could
not be delivered because of mailing address
errors. Nearly 2,300 Bay Area taxpayers, 176
of which live in San Mateo County, are due
undelivered refunds totaling $2.67 million.
“Our main goal is to help people get the
money owed them as quickly as possible,”
said IRS spokesman Jesse Weller. “Those who
are missing a refund should update their
address with the IRS. That’s all that needs to
be done in most cases.”
Undelivered refund checks average $1,471
this year, compared to $1,148 last year. Some
taxpayers are due more than one check. The
EPA fines West’s largest
toxic waste dump $300K
By Garance Burke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO — A vast toxic waste dump at the
center of a birth defects controversy in Central
California has been fined more than $300,000
for allowing cancer-causing chemicals to
leach into the soil, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency said Tuesday.
Residents near the Kettleman Hills landfill
previously have expressed concerns that the
largest hazardous waste dump in the West was
linked to a high rate of birth abnormalities
among infants.
However, state officials said last week they
couldn’t pinpoint a common cause for the
health problems in the community.

average dollar amount for returned refunds
rose by just over 28 percent this year, possibly
due to recent changes in tax law which intro-

If a refund check is returned to the IRS as
undelivered, taxpayers can generally update
their addresses with the “Where’s My
Refund?” tool on IRS.gov. The tool also
enables taxpayers to check the status of their
refunds by submitting his or her Social
Security number, filing status and amount of
refund shown on their 2009 return. The tool
will provide the refund status, and in some
cases, instructions on how to resolve delivery
problems.
Taxpayers checking on a refund over the
phone will receive instructions on how to
update their addresses. The telephone version

The material “did not present any risk to

Still, local mothers wondered if the soil
issue might have affected the development of

WASHINGTON — By a nearly 3-2 margin, the Senate voted

Tuesday to let lawmakers keep sprinkling bills with home-state
pet projects like roads, bridges, water treatment plants, grants
to local police departments and special interest tax breaks. But
with anti-earmark GOP reinforcements arriving in January, the
curtain may soon come down on the practice.
Most Democrats and a handful of Republicans joined in a
56-39 majority to reject a ban on funding for home-state proj-
ects not included in the budget proposal that the president sub-
mits to Congress each year.
Earmark critics, nonetheless, rejoiced in the vote, noting
their side had increased by 10 senators since they lost a 68-29
vote on the same question earlier this year.

Two injured in head-on crash on Highway 1
A head-on crash on state Highway 1 near the Half Moon Bay
Airport sent two people to the hospital and blocked the high-
way for nearly two hours, a California Highway Patrol officer
said.
The crash was reported shortly after 4:50 p.m. Tuesday on
Highway 1 just south of Capistrano Road, CHP Officer Peter
Van Eckhardt said.
Two vehicles traveling in opposite directions crashed into
each other, Van Eckhardt said.
The drivers of both cars were injured, and two medical heli-
copters responded to the scene, each picking up one of the vic-
tims for transport to Stanford Hospital, Van Eckhardt said.
One victim, a man in his 70s, suffered major injuries in the
crash, Van Eckhardt said. He did not have information on the
extent of the injuries to the second victim.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A secret

Journalism? Something else?
WASHINGTON — The govern-

whether it might be possible to pros-

Pass the DREAM Act
I
t can be agreed by most rea-
sonable people that our
nation’s immigration policy
— or lack thereof — is in need of
attention. For years, politicians of
either stripe have nibbled about the
edges but nothing solid has been
introduced for serious considera-
tion. Republicans have been fearful
of alienating businesses that rely on
illegal immigrants for cheap labor
and Democrats have been fearful of
irritating organized labor that is
hurt by what most consider to be
an underground economy as well
as their liberal base. Both have
been fearful of offending the
Hispanic voting bloc.
The nation is built on immi-
grants, but until recent years, most
came to this country through legal
channels. Now, that is no longer
the case. Humans are naturally
nomadic and go to where resources
are. No one can blame those who
come here illegally for trying. As
with any group of people, there are
those who are productive and there
are criminals and others who take
advantage of the system. Too often,
the entire group is painted with one
broad brush. And the danger of dis-
cussing it is to open oneself up to
rhetoric from either side. You can

be called a racist or xenophobic, or
you can be called a bleeding heart.
You can also be called ignorant or
stupid.
But the impact of illegal immi-
gration on our society is clear.
There is an impact on our social
services and our educational sys-
tem. The counterargument is that
the cheap labor that comes with it
helps keep costs down for business-
es. But the idea that there should
be a second tier of workers here
who do not get health or other ben-
efits for the sake of reasonably
priced lettuce is inhumane. And we
ultimately pay for it in other ways
like health services for those who
need to use an emergency room for
basic health care.
The immigration discussion was
ratcheted up a notch when the state
of Arizona passed legislation that
simply would enforce the federal
law on the books since inattention
had caused an impact on that state
in the eyes of those who wrote and
OPINION
passed the law. Now, there is a
legal fight between the U.S.
Attorney General’s Office and the
state which could set a dangerous
precedent for those concerned over
state’s rights and the enforcement
of laws already on the books. But
the legal fight sheds light on the
fact that the current law of the land
is not working.
So what to do? This newspaper
has long been a proponent of grant-
ing amnesty for those already in
this country illegally as long as
there is an outlined path to citizen-
ship with fees for legality that
could be used to pay for enforce-
ment of our borders. Suggesting
that we spend the resources to
deport millions of people would be
entirely too expensive and disrup-
tive. Establishing a fee-based tem-
porary worker visa program for
seasonal workers could also be
enacted for those who do not want
to seek permanent residency. Doing
so would eliminate the dangerous
practice of illegal immigrants using
“coyotes” to sneak into this coun-
try.
The politics of such proposals
make them difficult to enact. The
rhetoric can be ratcheted up quick-
ly. However, there is one proposal
currently being discussed in earnest
that could be considered to be a
step in the right direction. It is the
DREAM Act. The Development,
Relief and Education for Alien
Minors Act, was first introduced in
2001 and was reintroduced in the
U.S. Senate in 2009. It would allow
certain undocumented students
(illegal immigrant students) who
arrived in the United States as
minors, have graduated from high
school and have completed two
years in the military or in college
the opportunity to earn conditional
permanent residency for six years.
This group of people had no choice
in coming here, have conducted
themselves appropriately and have
taken steps to become productive
members of our society. They
deserve to have a chance at citizen-
ship without the fear of deporta-
tion. It is the American way to
allow it.

of workers earning $150,000+ and

spite of the rising costs of food,

We need to rein in these politicians

those who put them in office. How
many people are they going to force

Don’t obscure the
truth about AP exams
Editor,
I was amused by the Nov. 30 arti-
cle about the San Mateo Union High
School District “encouraging” stu-
dents to take AP Exams related to
any AP courses they enroll in (“AP
testing not a requirement”). Both my
sons graduated from San Mateo
High School, and it is an excellent
school. I was very pleased with the
seven years we were there, and
found the administrators, staff and
faculty to be dedicated, wonderful
people.
I do take exception to the district’s
claims that students were not
required to take AP exams related to
their coursework. Absolutely, stu-
dents were required to take those
exams. Both students and parents
were required to sign written con-
tracts each fall that specifically stated
that if our student did not take the
related AP exam in the spring,
his/her transcript would be retroac-
tively changed for both the fall and
spring semesters to show that they
did not take an AP course, even
though they did. Their transcript
would show that they took the non-
AP, easier, non-competitive class in
the same subject category. Removing
the AP designation on a student’s
transcript clearly has a negative
impact on their college entrance
competitiveness.
There was zero “miscommunica-
tion” and nothing was “implied” that
the AP exams “may” be required.
They were most definitely, very
clearly required!
I am glad my sons took the AP
courses they did and the correspon-
ding AP exams, as they both got into
great colleges. But let’s not obscure
the truth behind that much-abused
“miscommunication” label people
love to use.

Fresh ideas
needed in San Mateo
Editor,
As a longtime resident and tax-
payer of San Mateo, I was hoping
for a more open minded, welcoming
and receptive dialogue between the
old guard and Councilman David
Lim (“Budget solutions shot down”
in the Nov. 30 edition of the Daily
Journal). He is a capable, intelli-
gent, sincere and dedicated public
official bringing fresh and creative
ideas to City Hall. The present
deficits and worsening outlook
demand that we open our minds to
new approaches and ideas.

Dow 11,006.02 10-Yr Bond 2.7970% -0.0250

Stocks end on down note
By Chip Cutter
-46.47
Nasdaq 2,498.23 -26.99 Oil (per barrel) 84.11 and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
S&P 500 1,180.55 -7.21 Gold 1,385.00
NEW YORK — Stocks ended
November on a down note Tuesday,
notching their first monthly losses since
August.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
46 points. It had been down as many as
110 points earlier in the day. The index
pared most of its losses after President
Barack Obama and Republican lawmak-
ers promised to seek a compromise
before the end of the year on extending
Bush-era tax cuts.
Extending the cuts would motivate
investors to hold stocks since they
wouldn’t be subject to higher capital
gains taxes next year. It would also
encourage companies to continue paying
dividends, which are taxed at a more
favorable rate.
The Dow ended November with a loss
of 1 percent. It had rallied through
September and October on hopes that a
bond-buying program by the Federal
Reserve would boost the economy.
Wall Street
The Dow reached its highest point of
the year on Nov. 5, two days after the
Fed announced its $600 billion econom-
ic stimulus plan. Stocks have fallen since
then on worries about Europe’s debt
troubles. Ireland on Sunday became the
second European country after Greece to
require a bailout this year.
The euro briefly fell below $1.30 for
the first time since mid-September after
investors sold off government bonds
from Spain, Portugal and Italy. The
bailout of Ireland’s banks hasn’t been
enough to assuage worries that other
weak European countries will also need
to be rescued.
John Briggs, a fixed income analyst at
RBS, said the concerns about weak
members of the euro zone are spreading
faster than governments can react.
“It’s becoming more of a system-wide
issue and the currency decline continues
to accelerate day after day,” he said.
“Until we get some kind of systemic
response, it’s likely to continue.”
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
46.47, or 0.4 percent, to close at
11,006.02.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
7.21 or 0.6 percent, to 1,180.55. The
Nasdaq composite index dropped 26.99,
or 1.1 percent, to 2,498.23.
The S&P 500 fell 0.2 percent in
November, the Nasdaq 0.4 percent.
Economic reports Tuesday did not
present a clear picture of where the
economy was headed. The Standard &
Poor’s S&P/Case-Shiller index showed
that home prices are falling faster in the
nation’s largest cities. However, the
Conference Board said its index of con-
sumer confidence jumped to a five-
month high in November.
In corporate news, Google Inc. fell 4.5
percent after European regulators
launched an antitrust probe into the
online search giant.
Bank of America Corp. lost 3.2 per-
cent on fears that Wikileaks may release
copies of the bank’s internal documents.
Julian Assange, the founder of
Wikileaks, told Forbes magazine that his
group will release thousands of docu-
ments from a major U.S. bank early next
year.

Home prices fall in most metro areas

By Janna Herron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Home prices are
falling faster in the nation’s largest
cities, and a record number of foreclo-
sures are expected to push prices down
further through next year.
The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller
20-city home price index released
Tuesday fell 0.7 percent in September
from August. Eighteen of the cities
recorded monthly price declines.
Analysts say high unemployment,
tight lending standards and millions of
foreclosures will weigh on home prices.
“Unemployment is still high, people
are afraid of losing their homes and
credit is hard to get,” said Maureen
Maitland, vice president of S&P indices.
Still, Americans are gaining more con-
fidence in the broader economy, a new
report Tuesday showed. The Conference
Board, a private research group based in
New York, said consumer confidence
rose to a five-month high in November.
Yet the housing market remains
depressed.
Among the cities in the Case-Shiller
index, Cleveland recorded the largest
decline. Prices there dropped 3 percent
from a month earlier. Prices in San
Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego,
which had been showing strength this
year, also dropped in September from

Probe delves into heart

of Google Inc.’s business
By Michael Liedtke and Gabriele Steinhauser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — European regulators are tackling a puzzle that

could shift the balance of power on the Internet: Is Google sti-
fling competition by juicing its search results to favor its servic-
es over its rivals?
Hoping to find an answer, regulators announced an investiga-
tion Tuesday that will take the first major look into the heart of
Google Inc., focusing on the very thing that corporations from
Coca-Cola to KFC go to enormous lengths to keep secret.
In Google’s case, the mathematical formulas that determine its
search engine’s prized recommendations.
The rankings of Google’s results can make or break a business
these days, whether it is a blogger or a multibillion dollar com-
pany. Knowing how Google makes its decisions, or persuading
regulators to dictate changes, could be of enormous value to
competitors.
Word of the investigation caused Google’s stock to tumble
$26.40, or 4.5 percent, to close at $555.71. It was the largest
one-day drop in the company’s shares since mid-July. The com-
pany is also dealing with national antitrust probes in Germany,
Italy and France.

Business brief
Reports say Google in talks to buy Groupon
NEW YORK — Google Inc. may be close to buying online
discount service Groupon in a deal worth as much as $6 billion
in what would be the search company’s largest acquisition ever,
according to published reports.
The talks were reported by the technology blog All Things D
and by The New York Times, which cited unnamed sources with
knowledge of the matter.
Google and Groupon had no comment Tuesday.

Scots run out of gas against S.I. Menlo,

finish in tie
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Despite losing a ton of talent from last year’s
team that finished in second place in the Peninsula
Athletic League’s Bay Division, and breaking in a
new coaching staff, the Carlmont boys’ soccer
team wasted little time in preparing for the 2010-
11 campaign.
The Scots hosted St. Ignatius in the season
opener for both teams and, despite coming out on
the short end of a 3-2 decision, there was plenty for
the Scots to like taking on an always solid
Wildcats’ squad.
The first half especially. While St. Ignatius was
content to control the ball and knock it around,
always looking to make one more pass, Carlmont
attacked whenever it got the opportunity. The
Scots didn’t move the ball around, instead choos-
ing to win the ball and push forward.
The strategy worked as the Scots took a 2-0 lead
at halftime. In the second half, however, the
Wildcats took a more direct approach, constantly
applying pressure on the Scots’ back line.
Having to already juggle the defense when a
key defender was knocked from the game, the
Scots were on their heels and St. Ignatius respond-
ed with three goals — two coming on set pieces.
“We took a hit on the back line,” said first-
year Carlmont coach Jodi Beloff. “We had to
make adjustments.”
After chasing the ball in the opening minutes of
the first half, Carlmont started doing a better job of
winning balls in the midfield. A.J. Beloff, who
switched between a midfielder role and a striker,
did well distributing the ball to forwards Jeff
Sorensen and Daniel Mata. Jackson Criswell also
worked hard in the middle.
Carlmont was clicking offensively and had the
better chances. The Scots were constantly pressur-
ing the Wildcats defensive line and they had to be
on their toes to constantly clear away Carlmont’s
dangerous crosses.

Sometimes in sports you win, sometimes you
lose, and sometimes you tie.
And then there are those rare occasions, such as
when Menlo and Menlo-Atherton’s girls soccer
teams played Tuesday, when both clubs feel like
they’ve managed to do all three at once.
Watching his club equalize with a late goal by
Gillian Collom for a 2-2 draw, Menlo coach Paul
Snow sounded like a man who was trying to see
both sides of a coin without feeling like he just had
his pocket picked.

Gators to state final

By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When everything looked lost in the Northern
California championship game against visiting
Notre Dame-Belmont Tuesday night, Sacred
Heart Prep’s girls volleyball team removed
itself from the situation and found it’s way.
This isn’t an abstract point — the Gators lit-
erally left the gym while fans continued to
scream at a fever pitch in between the second
and third sets. Notre Dame had just taken the
first two games easily, and Sacred Heart Prep
looked discombobulated.
But for a team that didn’t expect to win a
CCS title a couple weeks earlier, over the same
Tigers they were playing Tuesday, a breather
from the enormity of the moment was in order.
“We went out into the hall and talked,” said
Sacred Heart Prep junior Sarah Daschbach.
“We realized this was NorCals, this was our
chance, our opportunity, and this was our time
to shine.”
And did they ever.
The Gators went on to sweep Notre Dame in
the final three sets to take the NorCal title: 19-
25, 14-25, 25-14, 25-16, 15-9.
Daschbach led Sacred Heart Prep with 21
kills in addition to making some crucial digs
and also serving the Gators to an 8-0 advan-
tage to start the fourth game. The junior cap-
tain and outside hitter had plenty of help,
though, as junior middle blocker Jesse Ebner
had 17 kills and 12 blocks, sophomore Sonia
Abuel-Saud tallied 15 kills, Olivia Bertolacci
had 23 digs and Hanna Elmore set the table for
everyone with 40 assists.
Gators coach Damien Hardy said the team’s
talk in the hallway was about putting things in
perspective, but Hardy added that the break
also helped him regain the faith. The coach
admitted that he thought the match was lost
after the first two sets.
“I kind of thought we were (done), and I had
See GATORS, Page 18
possession and a 10-9 shot advantage overall,
including two close-range strikes in stoppage time
which went just wide.
“They were pretty much doing everything I
asked at halftime,” Snow said of his players. “It’s
frustrating, but we’ll take the tie — even though
I’d rather have the win.”
The Bears’ miscues allowed Menlo to escape
the season opener without a loss, yet even the
Knights were unhappy with the draw after holding
the lead twice in the contest. Menlo manager
Donoson FitzGerald seemed bemused with the
outcome.
“We were ahead 2-1 with 10 minutes, and in
that sense I would have liked to hold on for the
win,” he said, “But we were fortunate to hold them
off from another goal.”
In the 63rd minute of the contest, Menlo’s Kelly
Cavan broke a 1-1 deadlock at halftime by slotting
a perfect shot from 10 yards beyond the top of the
box. Snow said his usual starter at keeper was too
ill to play and Taryn Thiele-Sardina, a natural mid-
fielder, was asked to take her place — not that it
would have really mattered.
“It was a good shot and even my normal goal-
keeper would have had a hard time with it,” he
said.
With just six minutes remaining, though, the
Bears answered back when Meryssa Thompson
broke free up the right sideline and slid a perfect
pass off to Collom for the equalizer.
“I feel like Meryssa has good speed, good touch
and she just broke free and gave me a great pass at
the right time and I just tapped it in,” Collom said.
Thompson showed that speed with two of her
own opportunities at the end of the game, but both
just sailed wide of the left post.
“Both teams, I thought, picked up the pace of
play in the second half,” Fitzgerald said. “(Menlo-
Atherton) was threatening us all day.”
The Knights were the first to take the advantage,
though, when Jaye Boissiere took possession off a
corner kick in the sixth minute and placed a shot
off the left post. Menlo’s Amanda McFarland got
enough of a touch on the rebound to see the ball
trickle into the cage for a 1-0 lead.
Menlo-Atherton responded at the end of the half
on a free kick into the box by Selin Kutlu, which

Giants sign Tejada to one-year deal

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The World
Series champion San Francisco Giants
have found their new shortstop, agree-
ing to terms with free agent Miguel
Tejada on a $6.5 million, one-year
contract Tuesday.
The deal is pending a physical.
The Giants didn’t expect to make a
formal announcement until later this
week at the earliest, depending on
how soon Tejada could get to town
for his physical.
Tejada told the Associated Press in
the Dominican Republic that he had
agreed to the deal worth $6.5 million.
“I’m very happy and satisfied to
reach an agreement with the San
Francisco Giants,” Tejada told the AP
in Spanish. “I take pride in having the
opportunity to compete for that team.”
Tejada, who played 156 games last
season with Baltimore and San Diego,
would take over a spot filled previous-
ly by World Series MVP Edgar
Renteria and Juan Uribe.
Tejada batted award in his second-to-last year with

49ers move on without Gore

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Frank Gore’s season is
over — and what a hit for the San Francisco
offense.
The 49ers placed their star running back on
season-ending injured reserve Tuesday. Gore
fractured his right hip during the Niners’ 27-6
win at Arizona on Monday night and was
scheduled to undergo further tests to deter-
mine the severity of the injury. The team made
the announcement less than two hours after
Mike Singletary’s weekly news conference,
then released a statement from the coach.
“It is unfortunate that we had to place Frank
on IR,” Singletary said. “He is not only a great
football player, but a tremendous leader. He
plays with such passion and desire, two traits
that will serve him well as he recovers from
the injury.”
Singletary said he wasn’t sure when Gore
got hurt. The two-time Pro Bowler, in his
sixth NFL season, ran for 853 yards and three
touchdowns this season and also caught a
team-leading 46 passes for 452 yards and two
TDs. Gore’s 24 100-yard rushing games are
the most in 49ers franchise history.
Losing him is a big blow for San Francisco,
which at 4-7 is only a game out in the NFC
West despite an 0-5 start.
The 49ers actually hid Gore’s helmet from
him on the sideline because he wanted to stay
in the game.
San Francisco also placed wide receiver
Dominique Zeigler on IR with a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee.
For now, Brian Westbrook and rookie
Anthony Dixon will be called upon to carry a
bigger load as the 49ers make a quick turn-
around to play at Green Bay on Sunday.
Westbrook had all of 10 touches this season
before carrying 23 times for 136 yards
Monday, though Singletary wants to be cau-
tious not to overwork Westbrook and risk
injury.
“Frank is a big part of what we do — heart,
soul, everything he brings is what you want,”
Singletary said. “But thankfully, Brian
Westbrook is a mature, experienced leader
and we just have to be careful about how we
use him and how much exposure we allow
him to see. I think there will be a good mix-
ture between Brian Westbrook and Dixon.

Westbrook, who sustained two concussions
last season, had the most yards and carries —
in fact the fourth-most rushes of his career —
against the Cardinals since Dec. 7, 2008,
when he had 33 carries for 131 yards against

Losing team
could win the
‘NFC Worst’
By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Well, somebody has to win the NFC

West, where mediocrity would be an improvement.
There is an increasingly strong possibility that the champion will
have a losing record.
Not only that, a 7-9 St. Louis or Seattle or San Francisco team
could wind up hosting a first-round playoff game against a team
that has won 10 or 11 games, maybe more.
That potentially embarrassing scenario results from an NFL rule
that guarantees each division champion a home playoff game.
With five weeks to go, Seattle and St. Louis are tied for first at 5-
6, with San Francisco 4-7 and Arizona 3-8.
As Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck put it, “Yeah, it’s
weird.”
In games outside their division, NFC West teams are 10-20.
Only St. Louis is respectable at 4-4. The division has played a big
role in Kansas City’s revival. The AFC West-leading Chiefs have
beaten San Francisco 31-10, Arizona 31-13 and Seattle 42-24.
The coaches of the four NFC West teams don’t like to talk about
the sorry state of their division. They’re understandably consumed
by trying to right their respective ships.
“I don’t know. It’s hard for me to speculate on that,” Arizona
coach Ken Whisenhunt said on Tuesday when asked if he thought
the division winner would have a losing record.
Whisenhunt’s Cardinals, winners of the NFC West the past two
seasons, are mired in a six-game losing streak and were embar-
rassed on national television in a 27-6 home loss to San Francisco
on Monday night.
“My focus right now is really worrying about what we do. As a
Cardinal answer to a non-Cardinal question, I’m really worried
about what we’re going to do,” Whisenhunt said. “I’m not worried
about that right now. We have played all the three teams in our divi-
sion and to me they have all been good football teams.”
To him maybe.
If the playoffs were to start this weekend, St. Louis — with a tie-
breaking win over Seattle — would open at home against the
reigning Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, who are 8-3.
Two years ago, a 9-7 Arizona team played at home against 11-5
Atlanta and barely won 30-24, with a big assist from a boisterous
crowd, in the first step to an unlikely run to the Super Bowl.
St. Louis or Seattle would have to finish 4-1, San Francisco 5-0,
to equal Arizona’s 9-7 record that year.
“We’re trying to get our ball right,” Seahawks first-year coach
Pete Carroll said. “It happens that we’re still in this race. ... I think
teams have to learn what it takes to be a champion team, what it
takes to be on top, and what it takes to be in the lead position before
you can expect to move on and take on bigger fish to fry.”
While others may ridicule the division, it’s no laughing matter
for the coaches involved. San Francisco’s Mike Singletary has
wept after almost every loss, and that’s a lot of crying. He and sev-
eral of his players even cried during the team’s overpowering win
over the punchless Cardinals on Monday night.
“The most important thing is what you do after you wipe the
tears away,” Singletary said. “It’s not the fact that someone cries.
It’s extremely important what they do after that, after the disap-
pointment. That’s the thing that separates when you continue to
move on and get better or stay where you are and listen to the cir-
cumstances around you.”

Zetterberg leads Red Wings past Sharks
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — Henrik Zetterberg batted a puck
out of the air from the slot for one of his two goals
that helped the Detroit Red Wings get a small
token of revenge for last season’s playoff elimi-
nation, beating the San Jose Sharks 5-3 Tuesday
night.
Zetterberg added two assists. But it was his first
goal that was the prettiest on a night when the ice
was far from its best because of a long power out-
age at HP Pavilion that forced both teams to can-
cel the morning skate and led to less-than-ideal
conditions.
That didn’t seem to bother the Red Wings, who
also got goals from Pavel Datsyuk, Danny Cleary
and Patrick Eaves to beat the Sharks in their first
Duncan’s triple double
leads Spurs past Warriors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Tim Duncan had his first
triple double in nearly two years with 15
points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists, Manu
Ginobili added 27 points and the San Antonio
Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 118-98
on Tuesday night.
Duncan, who recently moved past David
Robinson to become the Spurs’ career scoring
leader, shot just 6 of 15 from the field but
matched his career-high for assists and
matched his season-high for rebounds.
San Antonio, which won its ninth straight
against Golden State, improved its NBA-best
record to 15-2.
Stephen Curry scored 32 points and David
Lee added 18 points and seven rebounds for
Golden State (8-10). The Warriors have lost
eight of their last 10.
Playing the front end of a back-to-back, the
Spurs led by 10 points at halftime and 18 in
the third quarter before cruising over the final
12 minutes. The Warriors made one brief run,
closing to 100-88 on a Curry 3-pointer with
6:49 remaining, but that was it.
George Hill and Tony Parker scored on
back-to-back trips down the floor and Duncan
added a dunk off an assist from Ginobili to
make it 106-88.
It’s Duncan’s first triple double since May
29, 2008 when he had 19 points, 15 rebounds
and 10 assists against the Los Angeles Lakers
in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
The Spurs lost that game, which denied them
a shot to defend their NBA title that year.
They didn’t waste Duncan’s huge game this
time. Instead, they finished November with a
14-1 record and remained undefeated in eight
road games.
Ginobili has been a big reason.
The veteran guard is off to one of the best
starts of his career and has been particularly
efficient over the last week. He is averaging
26.4 points over his last five games and is
shooting 51.3 percent from the floor during
that stretch.
Ginobili scored 16 of his points in the third
quarter when the Spurs built an 91-73 lead.

Red Wings 5, Sharks 3
meeting since the playoffs in May.
San Jose won that postseason series in five
games against their longtime nemesis in the
Western Conference, getting all four wins by
only one goal in a matchup that was far tighter
than the final outcome.
But things haven’t gone so well early this sea-
son for the Sharks, who are mired in the middle
of the pack in the conference while the Red
Wings have returned to their familiar perch atop
the standings.
Jimmy Howard made 25 saves to win for the
27th time in his last 33 regular-season starts.
Datsyuk and Brian Rafalski also had two assists
for Detroit, which has won four of five and leads
the conference with 34 points.
Spurs 118, Warriors 98
Tempers flared late in the third after
Richard Jefferson’s alley oop dunk gave the
Spurs an 82-66 lead. Jefferson appeared to
land on Lee, who took exception and shoved
Jefferson. Antonio McDyess stepped in and
argued with Lee as players from both teams
came rushing in before referees restored
order.
The officials met briefly then assessed a
double technical to Lee and Jefferson.
It was that kind of night for the Warriors,
who committed 16 turnovers and were outre-
bounded 50-44.
Lee, playing in only his second game since
missing eight games with an elbow infection,
tried to give Golden State a lift but the
Warriors couldn’t match San Antonio’s depth.
Only four Golden State players reached
double figures while seven Spurs turned the
trick.
San Antonio led most of the first quarter but
fell behind 26-23 after a 10-3 run by Golden
State. The Spurs then scored seven points over
the final 35 seconds, getting a 3-pointer from
Gary Neal followed by four free throws from
Ginobili.
Ginobili was fouled by Monta Ellis while
attempting a 3 then got an additional free
throw when Ellis slapped his hands together
in frustration and was hit with a technical
foul.
Ginobili made three more free throws early
in the second quarter and Jefferson scored on
an alley oop pass from Parker to help the
Spurs push their lead to 49-37. Jefferson later
added a one-handed dunk and Duncan scored
on a three-point play as San Antonio took a
58-48 halftime edge.
DeJuan Blair had 16 points and 10
rebounds for the Spurs.
Notes: Golden State F Ekpe Udoh, who has
not played this season because of a wrist
injury, was cleared for contact and worked out

In the 17th minute, Carlmont found the back of
the net. After an attack had been turned away by
St. Ignatius, Carlmont’s Lucas Monteiro stole a
ball just past the midfield stripe and chipped the
ball toward the St. Ignatius goal.
The Wildcats back line stepped up in hopes of
catching Carlmont in an offside position — which
they did. The Scots had two forwards walking
back toward the play.
Carlmont’s Freddy Torres, however, was onside.
He ran right by the St. Ignatius defense and onto
the loose ball as the Wildcats looked for the offside
call.
Since the two walking Scots players made no
move to play the ball, the assistant’s referee’s flag
stayed down, Torres walked in and calmly slotted
a shot by the Wildcat goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead.
The Scots doubled their lead in the 35th minute.

‘Virtual biopsy’may detect athletes’brain injury
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Football players
with memory and behavior prob-
lems have no way of knowing for
sure if getting hit too many times
caused brain damage. The only test
to diagnose their condition is done
after death in an autopsy.
But now, researchers are experi-
menting with an imaging technique
to detect a debilitating condition
caused by repeated concussions.
And a study in Boston of five retired
athletes — three NFL players, a
boxer and a wrestler — is being
called a preliminary first step
toward diagnosis and maybe even
treatment.
The imaging found suspicious
chemical changes in the former ath-
letes’ brains. They’d suffered multi-
ple hits to the head during play and
showed behavior symptoms indicat-
ing possible brain damage. The
chemical changes were not found in
five healthy study participants.
The results from this noninvasive
“virtual biopsy” technique suggest
that the athletes had chronic trau-
matic encephalopathy, the study
authors said.
The disease is a suspected cause
of “punch-drunk” symptoms, mem-
ory lapses and behavior changes in
NFL players and others who have
had repeated concussions.
The issue has gained scrutiny
since autopsies found brain degen-
eration in a handful of former NFL
players who died young. Concerns
about the dangers of repeated con-
cussions have led to congressional

Tiger gets one more chance GATORS
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THOUSAND OAKS — The goal for Tiger
Woods has always been to be better than he was
the year before. Despite losing his marriage and
every tournament he played, he still gave himself
a passing grade.
“As a golfer, I learned so much more this year
than any other year — and as a person, infinite-
ly more,” Woods said Tuesday. “So it’s been a
very successful year, even though it was a very
painful year, as well.”
That year comes to a close with the Chevron
World Challenge, which starts Thursday featur-
ing an 18-man field of players inside the top 50
in the world ranking. Woods has won the last
two times he played, although he missed the last
two years — in 2008 while recovering from
knee surgery, and last year because of the
Thanksgiving night accident that led to revela-
tions of his infidelity.
It was a year that Woods described as “harder
than anyone could have imagined.”
On Tuesday of tournament week a year ago,
the Florida Highway Patrol cited him for reck-

text messages to prove her
31-month affair with
Tiger Woods Woods.
His personal life was just
starting to unravel.
Woods said he never thought about walking
away from golf for the entire year, shooting
down speculation in a book that he would enlist
in the Navy. Woods said as a kid, he either want-
ed to be a pro golfer or a Navy SEAL.
“I love playing the game of golf,” Woods said.
“It’s fun, it’s certainly challenging, and it’s also
something that I know when I do it right, I’m
pretty good at it.”
That was not lost on Ian Poulter as he hit balls

“That’s what they do — they never quit. I think
they like to play from behind. It’s like the (San
Francisco) Giants — torture.”
After finishing second in the West Bay
Athletic League Foothill Division, few expect-
ed Sacred Heart Prep (24-10) to win a Central
Coast Section title, let alone a NorCal champi-
onship for Division IV. But going up against
the same Tigers squad they lost to twice in the
regular season and then barely held on to beat
in the CCS title match, Sacred Heart Prep had
answers while the Tigers were full of questions
how to regain momentum at the net.
Notre Dame senior outside hitter and team
captain Brooke Baldwin had an outstanding
performance, totaling a game-high 25 kills
from what seemed to be every quadrant of the
court. But Lauren Berriatua was the only other
Tiger to eclipse double-digit kills with 11, and
the Tigers appeared to become more one-
dimensional as the match progressed.
Notre Dame coach Jeff Kim said the turn-

three games.
“They played great defense at the net,” he
said. “Bottom line, they just played better than

“But I’m proud of us because nobody

Kim’s point is valid considering the Tigers
finished 1-6 in the ultra-competitive West
Catholic Athletic League before surging
through the playoffs to the CCS final, losing to
the Gators, and then regrouping to run through
the NorCal tourney. The Tigers finish the sea-
son 27-16.
With a state championship game against La
Jolla Country Day (23-4) set for noon on
Saturday at San Jose State, it will be a quick
turnaround for a club that seems to enjoy hav-
ing its back against the wall.
But as Hardy said he told his team when
things looked bleak: “This is all gravy for us.”
It might not make sense — like the outcome
of the Gators’ recent results after a so-so per-
formance in league — but a state title would be
a welcomed cherry on top of that gravy.

Make one latke, but many toppings
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The golden, crispy potato latke is
so unmistakably tied to Hanukkah
you could easily think potatoes have
some special symbolism during the
Jewish festival of lights.
They don’t, of course. That honor
goes to the crispy fried part, which
commemorates the miraculous
story of a single day’s worth of
sacred oil that kept the eternal flame
at the temple in Jerusalem burning
for eight days.
In fact, many fried foods are pre-
pared and eaten during Hanukkah,
including raised jelly doughnuts
called sufganiyot and crispy golden
puffs of pastry called bumuelos,
which originated with the Jews of
Greece and Turkey.
If you are going to stick with the
classic potato latke, there are a few
tips you can follow to ensure they
come out golden.
Laura Frankel, executive chef at
Spertus, a Chicago-based high-end
kosher catering company and author
of “Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes,”
recommends using baking potatoes
such as russets. They tend to have
less liquid in them, so your latke
will come out lighter and fluffier.
Additionally, the higher starch but
lower sugar content of these pota-
toes, says Frankel, helps to hold the
latke together and allows it to crisp
without burning first.
Latkes are complete without the toppings,the most traditional of which are sour cream or applesauce.
Onions are mixed with the pota-
toes in most latke variations, which
Frankel feels helps to cut the greas-
iness and balance the neutrality of
the potato. Plus, she adds, the smell
of cooking onion brings with it the
fond kitchen memory that most peo-
ple associate with making latkes.

wrung out of the potato mixture
using a clean dishtowel or piece of
cheesecloth. This step helps the
latkes brown better, even when
using less oil. It also keeps them
from turning soggy and falling apart
in the pan.
For binding her latke batter
together Frankel uses a little flour
and egg whites.
“I like really crispy latkes that are
flat and only slightly creamy
inside,” says Frankel. “So I don’t
use yolks, which tend to make
doughs and batters tender. Egg
whites hold the ingredients together
but don’t make them soft or cakey.”

which has a neutral flavor and can
take the high heat without smoking.
Of course, no latkes are complete
without the toppings, the most tradi-
tional of which are sour cream or
applesauce. But a plain potato latke
makes a great base for so many
kinds of toppings. Consider serving
a basic latke and a wide variety of
toppings, many of which could be
made ahead of time.

A roasted meat that’s flavorful and low-fat
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hanukkah is called the festival of lights, but it
often isn’t a festival of light foods.
Many food traditions for this Jewish holiday
center around oil and fried foods, which are
symbolic of the temple lamp oil that should
have lasted just one day, but instead burned for
eight.
But once you get the fried potato latkes or
jelly donuts out of the way, almost any festive
autumn or winter dish can work as the center-
piece for a Hanukkah dinner.
Beef pot roasts, such a brisket, are a common
— but fatty — choice. Even a traditional roast
chicken can be surprisingly fatty. If you remove
the skin from the chicken, you cut the fat by up
to 75 percent. Of course, with it goes much of
the flavor and moisture.
This recipe for roasted chicken and fall veg-
etables makes a beautiful seasonal presentation,
and is prepared skinless using a technique that
keeps it juicy and tasty.
To boost the flavors, the chicken pieces are
rubbed with a paste made with fresh rosemary,
salty capers and healthful olive oil.
Next, the chicken pieces are roasted on a bed
of vegetables for a dual effect. The vegetables
give off steam, which helps to keep the meat
from drying out while the savory juices from
the chicken baste the vegetables.
The roasted pieces of chicken are served on a
single platter with the vegetables and topped
with soft golden cloves of roasted garlic.

To boost flavors,rub chicken pieces with a paste made with fresh rosemary,salty capers and

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
3 heads garlic
1/2 lemon
3 medium artichokes (1 1/2 pounds)

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
3 3/4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, skin

Heat oven to 425 F.
Trim off and discard the tops of the fennel
where they meet the bulb. Trim a thin slice off
the bottom of each bulb then pull off any outer
layers that are discolored. Cut the bulbs length-
wise in half, then into thin wedges.
Transfer the fennel to a large, shallow roast-
ing pan and add the potatoes, carrots and 1 1/2
tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the
salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Toss to
combine. Peel away as much of the papery
skins from the garlic heads as possible; slice off
THE DAILY JOURNAL
and discard the top third of each head. Place the
garlic, cut-sides down, among the vegetables.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 30
minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a
boil. Juice the lemon into the pot, then add the
lemon half to the water.
With a knife, cut off about 1 inch from the top
of each artichoke and trim the end of each stem.
Using scissors, cut off the spiky tops of the
outer leaves. Cut each artichoke into six
wedges. Using a paring knife, scrape out the
feathery choke in the center of each wedge.
Drop the wedges into the boiling water.
Partially cover the pan and cook until just ten-
der, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
On a cutting board, mince the capers and
rosemary until they form a paste. Transfer to a
small bowl and stir in the remaining 1 table-
spoon of the olive oil and the remaining 1/2 tea-
spoon each of the salt and pepper.
Remove the vegetables from the oven, dis-
carding the foil. Spread the caper mixture on
the chicken pieces and then arrange them on top
of the vegetables. Pour the chicken broth into
the pan and roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Tuck the cooked artichokes into the vegeta-
bles in the roasting pan. Baste the chicken with
some of the liquid from the bottom of the pan
(add more broth if necessary) and continue
roasting for another 15 minutes, or until the
vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked
all the way through.
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serv-
ing platter, removing the garlic heads. Cover
with foil to keep warm. When the garlic heads
are cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes,
squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins and
scatter them over the vegetables and chicken.
Serve immediately.

Keep teens involved in Hanukkah
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
These days, it takes a lot more than a
rousing game of spinning the dreidel or
some gold foil covered chocolate coins to
keep kids interested in Hanukkah. Even
more to get the attention of seemingly
eternally bored teenagers.
After all, an eons old story of a day’s
worth of lamp oil lasting for over a week
is no match for iPhones and Xboxes.
But cookbook author and mother of
four (including two teenagers) Susie
Fishbein has a secret weapon — food.
Kids love to eat as much as they love to
“schmooze” and socialize, says Fishbein,
and Hanukkah is very much about its
symbolic foods and traditions of hospital-
ity.
She suggests getting your teenagers
involved in choosing and preparing tradi-
tional foods. This might not only get them
excited about the holiday, but also will
create an opportunity to talk.
And she speaks from experience. While
developing recipes for her new cookbook,
“Kosher by Design: Teens and 20-some-
things” (Artscroll/Shaar Press, 2010),
Fishbein relied on her own teens and their
friends to help test the recipes she was cre-
ating.
The teenagers, she points out, were at
ease during these gatherings because they
weren’t being asked to reveal anything
personal, but instead just to talk about the
food, which in turn allowed them to relax
and be themselves. And when kids are
being themselves, they tend to open up
more.
In fact, Fishbein points to food and
cooking as a conduit for keeping commu-
nication lines open between adults and
teens all year.
In her new book, which is part of a
kosher cooking series, Fishbein offers fun,
accessible recipes that serve up new
choices for teens who favor fast food, as
well as fresh and healthful cooking proj-

Old traditions
celebrated via
Mexican foods
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Fany Gerson’s grandparents left Russia early last cen-
tury they had no idea their Hanukkah table someday would be
filled with chili-spiked latkes.
“It’s definitely a modern thing,” says Gerson, a native
Mexican who also is Jewish. And latkes are just the beginning.
The pastry chef and author of “My Sweet Mexico” (Ten
Speed Press, 2010) merges her cultures at every opportunity:
the Hanukkah jelly donuts called “sufganiot” get filled with
guava and mango; Mexican coconut sweets called “cocadas”
stand in for macaroons. Matzo ball soup is garnished with
cilantro, chilies and limes.
And Passover gefilte fish? Pan-fried in a tomato-chili sauce.
For many people, Mexican food ends at tortillas and beans.
But centuries of influence from Spain and its contact with the
Middle East have left their mark on the culinary landscape.
Especially when it comes to sweets. For Gerson, it’s a matter
of yet more cultures being blended. And deliciously so.
“It’s not that you go to Mexico and find a baklava, but you
find a lot of similar flavors,” Gerson says.
Mexican dessert fruits like prickly pear and guava often are
dried or made into pastes, like quince and dates in the Middle
East. Spanish nuns brought candy-making know how, turning
loose their technique on coconut, mangoes and other native
fruits, and adding puckery accents such as tamarind.
Breads began to showcase dates, pecans and Asian spices
such as cinnamon. Crumbly Middle Eastern semolina cookies
show up as almond flour confections called Mexican wedding
cookies. And dairy from Spain merged with spices from India
to create the now-iconic Latin dessert, rice pudding.
“We didn’t have dairy before Spain came, and I’m not sure
that the Spaniards had it before the Arabs came,” Gerson says.
“You see the cultural blend everywhere you go.”
Gerson continues to mix and match her cultures, always cre-
ating new traditions. For Passover, when bread and other leav-
ened items are forbidden, she concocts a flourless chocolate
cake with tequila-soaked raisins.
“People said ’It’s not Passover-ish,’” she says. “It’s not

pate,” Munks said.
A problem, according to Munks, is that the
department of an elected official cannot be
held accountable for its costs and outcomes in
the same manner as other areas. Instead of
working together, Munks believes a plan in
which the County Manager’s Office first looks
at his budget proposals for prioritizing will
polarize the county and his office.
“I believe this process will step between us,”
Munks said.
Munks cited a Polk County, Fla. sheriff who
also refused to participate in what is known as
priority budgeting. Munks would have the
same legal right to decline.
At its core, the new system requires the
essentially its priorities — and once approved
complete the budget around them using avail-
able resources. Proponents say this approach
often eliminates duplicated programs while
consolidating others because it looks at the
bigger picture.
Boesch acknowledges elected officials have
a different level of responsibility for their
budgets than appointed department heads who
answer to the Board of Supervisors.
“I’m not trying to undercut that in any way,
shape or form,” Boesch said.
The Board of Supervisors had some con-
cerns about the recommended changes
although all agreed the county’s financial chal-
lenges require creative thinking.
“A new process is very healthy,” said
Supervisor Carole Groom.
County officials, particularly Boesch and his
predecessor John Maltbie, have long called for
hit $150 million by 2014 without action.
The county held a day-long workshop Oct. 5
with department heads to discuss what works
and what very much doesn’t in budgeting.
However, there hasn’t been much internal dis-
cussion since the findings and Boesch’s rec-
ommendations.
“The concern for me is it is moving too fast,”
said Supervisor Adrienne Tissier.
The board agreed to revisit the ideas in a
January workshop, as well as a request by
Boesch for up to $300,000 in one-time money
to get the system off the ground. The funds
will go toward manpower for proposal writing,
management changes, program evaluation and
process improvement. It will make improve-
ments to performance reporting and budget
and financial systems.
In other business, the board voted unani-
mously to enter into a non-binding agreement
interest in acquiring six privately owned
parcels for the proposed jail on Chemical Way
east of Highway 101. The Redwood City
Council approved the agreement Nov. 22.
The board certified the environmental
impact review documents and adopted zoning
changes for the proposed Clos de la Tech
Wintery at 19775 Skyline Blvd. The vote came
after hours of public comment, both for and
against, and board discussion of whether a
winery will improve the county’s agricultural
scene, impede on the rest of La Honda or
impact the watershed.
The board also said its good-byes to Board
President Rich Gordon who attended his last
meeting Tuesday. Gordon was elected to the
Assembly Nov. 2. Gordon, who choked up
after a series of remarks by his peers, thanked
the board and the residents for the opportunity
to serve them.“I’ve certainly enjoyed this job in
an incredible way,” Gordon said.

close to the county line and would also force
traffic from the main thoroughfares onto local
streets, according to Kasten’s letter.
Daly City Councilman David Canepa said
San Francisco is considering the toll because
it has done “a poor job in terms of transporta-
tion planning.”
He also blasts the authority for not conduct-
cials.
“The city is using this as a tool to generate
revenue,” Canepa said. “It is extraordinarily
selfish for San Francisco to act this way.”
The city is simply trying to impose its will
on its neighbors and is not working with
regional partners to improve traffic or develop
a better transportation plan, Canepa said.
Although C/CAG Executive Director
Richard Napier is not outright opposed to the
concept of congestion pricing, he does not
think it will work as currently proposed.
“An application across the county line may
The concept does work elsewhere, such as
in London, Napier said.
“They need to pick the right area with the
right density,” Napier said. “The financial dis-
trict makes sense.”
The earliest the city could set up congestion
pricing would be 2015, after a lengthy envi-
ronmental review process.
The authority will make no recommenda-
tions as to a preferred option at its Dec. 14
meeting, said Tilly Chang, deputy director of
planning at the transportation authority. The
transportation authority is comprised of all
Supervisors.
Money generated from congestion pricing
would benefit the transportation needs of San

“The money could be prioritized to better

Munks, speaking after Ehikian’s withdraw-

Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Munks and Fox
argued that the large-scale scope of the opera-
tion made it unlikely to fit the definition of a
legal collective.
Munks calculated the operation could dis-
pense 11.4 tons annually based on a maximum
of two ounces per day for up to 500 members.
While there are few hard and fast rules about
the definition of a collective in a May 2009
county ordinance, it is widely assumed mem-
bers will participate in the growing and har-
ed so many members it was unlikely all or even
most would do anything other than collect and

Ehikian said he understood the county’s
desire to limit “fly by night” dispensaries but
insisted his plan was to offer a vital service to
those with medical, not recreational, need.
Hanning also said the county would be bet-
ter off with one large high-quality clinic rather
than smaller facilities possibly run by less
scrupulous operators.

conflict of interest by having Munks weigh in

develop in which you start out doing a favor for another, but
end up with large gains occurring for you as well, due to a
surprise twist.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - A staunch supporter

finer qualities are very much in evidence and catnip to others,
especially your wit and charm.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - This could be a better than usual
day to go shopping, because you’re likely to stumble across
a discounted item that you’ve wanted for a long time but
always felt was too expensive to buy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - You’re likely to discover that two

Man,climate erode Cancun’s beaches Diplomatic memo

By Mark Stevenson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANCUN, Mexico — Cancun’s eroding
white sand beaches are providing a note of
urgency to the climate talks being held just
south of this seaside resort famed for its post-
card-perfect vistas.
Rising sea levels and a series of unusually
powerful hurricanes have aggravated the folly
of building a tourist destination atop shifting
sand dunes on a narrow peninsula. After the
big storms hit, the bad ideas were laid bare:
Much of Cancun’s glittering hotel strip is now
without a beach.
Hotels built too tall, too heavy and too close
to the shore, as well as beaches stripped of
native vegetation to make them more tourist-
friendly, have contributed to the massive ero-
sion.
“It was the chronicle of a disaster foretold,”
said Exequiel Ezcurra, the former head of
Mexico’s environmental agency. “Everybody
knew this was going to happen. This had been
predicted for 40 years.”
Cancun’s beaches largely disappeared after
Category 4 Hurricane Wilma hit in 2005, leav-
ing waves lapping against hotel foundations or
against rocks.
Four category 4 and 5 hurricanes have hit
Mexico in the past decade, the highest rate in
40 years and equal to all those in the preced-
ing three decades, according to Mexico’s
National Meteorological Service. Many scien-
tists blame such extreme weather patterns on
climate change.
The coastline erosion was worsened by a
rise in sea level, which has grown at a rate of
Soldiers lead a convoy of armoured personnel carriers while patrolling the area surrounding

about 2.2 millimeters a year.
“It doesn’t sound like much, but ... in an
area as low as that sandbar, it doesn’t help,
especially when the sandbar doesn’t have the
properties to compensate for sea level,”
Ezcurra said.
In a major restoration project last year, mil-
lions of cubic yards (meters) of sand were
dredged from the sandy bottom of the
Caribbean and pumped ashore in Cancun. The
project created a seven-mile stretch of beach
some 40 to 70 yards (meters) wide, at a cost of
REUTERS
about $70 million.
It is already washing away. Waves have
carved a waist-high shelf into the beach and
Assistant Tourism Secretary Hector de la Cruz
acknowledges that 6 percent to 8 percent of
the new sand has been swept away — even
without any major storms.
It was the second time such an undertaking
had been tried; a $19 million beach restoration
effort in 2006 also washed away, finished off
by a Category 5 hurricane, Dean, that hit fur-
ther down the coast in 2007.
leaks complicate
picture in N.Korea
By Jean H. Lee and Christopher Boden
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — A top South
Korean official dismisses China’s nuclear
negotiator as “incompetent.” A Chinese
envoy mocks North Korea as a “spoiled
child.”
After a major escalation of sporadic skir-
mishes between the rival Koreas, an interna-
tional effort is trying to rein in rising ten-
sions. But U.S. diplomatic memos leaked
this week call into question whether region-
al powers — most notably China — have
any insight into or influence over enigmatic
and defiant North Korea.
South Korea’s military drill last week
from an island along a disputed maritime
border sparked a North Korean artillery
attack that killed four South Koreans and
wounded 18 others. U.S.-South Korean war
games are threatening to draw a new round
of North Korean fire. Those drills, set to
end Wednesday, include the USS George
Washington nuclear-powered supercarrier
in waters to the south of the disputed bor-
der.
China is pressing for an emergency meet-
ing in the coming days to discuss the attack
and ways to defuse tensions, saying the ses-
sion should be convened by the two Koreas,
China, Russia, Japan and the United States
— the members of the stalled North Korean
nuclear disarmament talks.

HOLIDAY

defrosted.
For Sobel, it won’t change the way he cele-
brates, save a tinge of remorse that non-
Jewish neighbors and friends won’t yet be in
the holiday spirit.
“The feeling of total holiday season is not
there,” said Sobel, from the independent
Temple Beth Emet.
Jewish festivals and commemorations begin
on different Gregorian dates each year
because they’re set by a lunar-based Hebrew
calendar adjusted to ensure certain ones fall
during certain seasons.
Wyckoff, N.J., mom Caryn Kasmanoff, who
has two teenagers and a 9-year-old, notes that
Hanukkah is a very minor holiday, religiously
speaking, in relation to Passover and other
biblically mandated observances. It’s nowhere
near as important as Christmas is to
Christians, but the comparisons can be harder
on Jewish kids when the two holidays stand
“As Christmas gets closer and children in
school get more excited, their ‘party’ is over,”
Kasmanoff said. “So yes, as a parent, it’s eas-
ier for the religions to share the festive feel-
ing.”
That can also be true for more secular Jews
and interfaith families who will be packing
away their menorahs after Hanukkah only to
start prepping for Christmas. Or for people
who focus on Thanksgiving as the big-deal
holiday with barely any time to de-stress
before Hanukkah shopping and party plan-
ning must be done.
“The world doesn’t stop for Hanukkah,”
said Jennifer Prost, who has kids ages 16 and
12 in Montclair, N.J. “My kids still have tests
to study for and papers to write. When
Hanukkah is closer to Christmas, the kids are
off from school, work schedules slow, evening
meetings are off the table.”
For the college set, on-campus Hanukkah
might mean missing mom’s potato latkes, but
their family’s not-home-for-the-holidays loss
could be Ralph Taber’s gain. He’s the director
of the Klehr Center for Jewish Life at Franklin
programmer for Hillel, the foundation for
Jewish campus life.
“The timing of Hanukkah this year is per-
fect because it will occur before classes end,”
he said. “We know that students will be will-
ing to attend more on-campus Hanukkah
events.”
As a parent, Taber is happy for Hanukkah’s
quick approach. He’ll be done with shopping
and celebrations just as Christmas is crowding
stores and yuletide travel is clogging roads.
But some sellers of Jewish-related gifts said
“early” Hanukkah can mean slow going.
“When it’s close to Christmas, it’s celebrat-
ed much more actively,” said Gary Rosenthal,
who creates menorahs, charity boxes and
other Judaica out of metals and fused glass.
“When Hanukkah is close to Thanksgiving
it’s passed us before we even know what hap-
pened. It’s not good or bad. It’s just the way it
is.”
Hanukkah rarely begins in November,
though it will begin the night before
Thanksgiving Day come 2013.
“That’s super early and people will definite-
former Hebrew school principal and career
Jewish educator with two kids, 8 and 3, in
Amherst, N.H.
Thanksgiving followed by an “early”
Hanukkah is just fine with Sobel.
He said Thanksgiving has a lot in common
with the festival of Sukkot, which has similar-
ities with Hanukkah. Both are eight-day cele-
brations, the former in the fall to commemo-
rate the Jews’ desert wandering after the
Exodus from Egypt. Hanukkah marks the
rededication of the Holy Temple at the time of
the Maccabean revolt and the miracle of a
smidge of found oil lasting eight days.
“Some people think it’s kind of great when
Hanukkah’s not anywhere near Christmas
because it gets to be its own holiday,” said
Nora Rubel, an assistant professor of religion
at the University of Rochester in New York.
“Theoretically, Hanukkah is supposed to
celebrate triumph over assimilation,” Rubel
said, “so the great irony is it has become a
Jewish Christmas, which is something that
Jews complain about all the time but partici-
pate in.”
