Sanity in question in family attack
Doctors want more time to assess mental state of Redwood City woman
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Doctors assessing a Redwood City mother
accused of drugging and attacking her hus-
band and children with a 10-pound dumbbell
need more time to determine if she was insane
at the time.
Philomena Mary Brown, 40, has already
entered twin pleas of not guilty and not guilty
by reason of insanity to multiple counts of
attempted murder. On Wednesday, a trio of
court-appointed doctors were scheduled to
return their conclusions on Brown’s mental
state but instead asked for more time. The
reports are now due Sept. 21.
Although Brown has already opted for an
insanity plea, the reports can give her defense
some guidance on whether to continue pursu-
ing that avenue, said Assistant District

sheriff’s deputies later than afternoon at

believe she tried to kill herself with prescrip-
tion medication and she was hospitalized
before being medically cleared and taken to
the women’s jail.
Defense attorney Vince O’Malley has said
his client suffered a mental breakdown in the
weeks before the attack, believing people
wanted to harm or even kill her family.
If Brown’s defense maintains the insanity

so, the sanity phase will follow next.

Police kill gunman at Discovery Channel
By Sarah Brumfield

SILVER SPRING, Md. — A man
who railed against the Discovery
Channel’s environmental program-
ming for years burst into the compa-
ny’s headquarters with at least one
explosive device strapped to his body
Wednesday and took three people
hostage at gunpoint before police
shot him to death, officials said.
The hostages — two Discovery
Communications employees and a
security officer — were unhurt after
the hourslong standoff.
Montgomery County Police Chief
Thomas Manger said tactical offi-
cers moved in after officers moni-
toring Lee on building security
cameras saw him pull out his hand-
gun and point it at one of the
hostages.
An explosive device on the gun-
man’s body detonated when police
shot him, Manger said. Police were
trying to determine whether two
boxes and two backpacks the gun-
man also contained explosives.
Manger said police spent several
hours negotiating with the armed
man after he entered the suburban
Washington building about 1 p.m.
None of the 1,900 people who work
in the building were hurt, and most
made it out before the standoff
ended.

French railway faces criticism in U.S. for WWII role
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — The French
national railway’s hope to bid on the
first high-speed tracks in the United
States is running into resistance
from Holocaust survivors because
of the company’s role in transport-

One of those leading the charge
against the railway is Florida resi-

Montgomery County police officers cordon off the area near the Discovery Channel headquarters building
during a hostage situation in Silver Spring,Md.
February 2008. According to police
reports, he paid homeless people to
carry signs, and set off a scramble for
money when he threw fistfuls of cash
into the air, calling it “just trash.”
Lee was served two weeks in jail.

Testing seen as
big advance in
diagnosing TB
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scientists are reporting a major
advance in diagnosing tuberculosis:
A new test can reveal in less than
two hours, with very high accuracy,
whether someone has the disease
and if it’s resistant to the main drug
for treating it.
The test could revolutionize TB
care and replace the 125-year-old
process used now, which is slow and
misses more than half of all cases,
experts say. A better test would be a
powerful tool to curb TB in poor
countries, where most people spread
the lung disease before they are
diagnosed and treated, and many
don’t return for follow-up doctor
visits to get test results.

Is the tea party becoming
the new Grand Old Party?
By Liz Sidoti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Is the tea party the new
Republican Party?
The grass-roots network of fed-up conserva-
tive-libertarian voters displayed its power in its
biggest triumph of the election year: the toppling
of Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska’s GOP pri-
mary. Political novice Joe Miller is the fifth tea
party insurgent to win a GOP Senate nominating
contest, an upset that few, if any, saw coming.
With the stunning outcome, the fledgling tea
party coalition and voters who identify with
its anti-tax, anti-spending sentiments proved
that democracy is alive and well — within the
Republican Party. Don’t like who is represent-
ing you? Rise up, fire them and choose some-
one new.
The tea party has taken hold in the Grand Old
Party, unseating lawmakers, capturing nomina-
tions for open seats and forcing Republicans to
recalibrate both their campaign strategy and
issues agenda. Out is talk of delivering federal
dollars back home; in is talk of fiscal discipline.
Within minutes of Murkowski conceding
late Tuesday night, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.,
was among the conservative Republicans
cheering Miller.

“He pulled off the upset victory of the year
because he ran on principles and because
Alaskans, like all Americans, want to stop the
massive spending, bailouts and debt that are
bankrupting our country,” said DeMint.
Taking a shot at Murkowski if not the entire
Republican establishment, he added: “Joe
Miller’s victory should be a wake-up call to
politicians who go to Washington to bring home
the bacon. Voters are saying ’We’re not willing
to bankrupt the country to benefit ourselves.”’
Murkowski, who was seeking her second
full term, was the first GOP incumbent to lose
her renomination bid to a tea party-backed
challenger in a Republican primary.
But Utah Sen. Bob Bennett lost his job, too,
fired at the state convention in May when tea
party activists and other GOP voters rallied
behind Mike Lee. And tea party favorites
Rand Paul in Kentucky, Sharron Angle in
Nevada and Ken Buck in Colorado won their
primaries over establishment-supported can-
didates in open races.
Now, the country’s latest political phenom-
enon is turning its sights on the Sept. 14
Delaware Senate primary in hopes that its pre-
ferred candidate can vanquish a moderate
hand-picked by GOP leaders in Washington,
Rep. Mike Castle, to win an open seat once
held by Vice President Joe Biden.

Downtown gets new parking meters
Drivers in downtown San Mateo will be
able to park longer and pay for it with plastic
beginning Friday when the city makes live its
21 new multi-space parking meters.
The new meters increase parking from two-
hour windows to four and spares users from
scrambling for change.
“We feel that these new modern pay
machines with an extended parking time and
credit card payment option will make visiting
downtown more convenient and appealing for
residents and out-of-town visitors alike,” said
Public Works Director Larry Patterson in a
written statement.
The new machines will be located on
Fourth, Fifth and Ellsworth avenues and B
Street.
On-street parking spaces with the new
meters remain at the current rate of 50 cents
per hour for the first and second hour and $1
per hour for the third and fourth hours. The
machines accept credit cards with a $2 mini-
mum.
The parking changes also extend the garage
hours from two to four at a rate of 50 cents
per hour. The downtown garage spaces set
aside for 10-hour parking remain at 25 cents
per hour.
Police seek pair in
armed robbery of cabbie
San Bruno police are seeking the public’s
help to identify and arrest two men suspected
of robbing a cab driver at gunpoint late
Tuesday night.
The driver told officers he picked up two
men in Menlo Park and drove them to the area
of San Bruno Avenue and Alpine Way in San
Bruno. The victim said the pair brandished a
gun and robbed him of an undisclosed
amount of cash before fleeing on foot.
The first suspect is described as an East
Indian male, 30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall
and 160 pounds. He wore a button-down
shirt, black dress pants and eyeglasses.
The second suspect is described as an East
Indian male, 40 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall
and 160 pounds. He has a short-cropped full
beard.
Anyone with information about this crime
is asked to contact the San Bruno Police
Department at 616-7100.

said.
The cat was seen behind a home at 50
Loma Vista Drive, which borders the San
Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge, at
about 6:40 a.m., according to the San Mateo

Evacuations start as Earl nears East Coast
By Mike Baker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAGS HEAD, N.C. — Hurricane Earl
steamed toward the Eastern Seaboard on
Wednesday as communities from North
Carolina to New England kept a close eye on
the forecast, worried that even a slight shift in
the storm’s predicted offshore track could put
millions of people in the most densely populat-
ed part of the country in harm’s way.
Vacationers along North Carolina’s danger-
ously exposed Outer Banks took advantage of
the typical picture-perfect day just before a
hurricane arrives to pack their cars and flee
inland, cutting short their summer just before
Labor Day weekend.
The governors of North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland declared states of emergency,
sea turtle nests on one beach were scooped up
and moved to safety, and the crew of the
Navy’s USS Cole rushed to get home to
Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday ahead of the bad
weather. The destroyer was supposed to return
later this week from a seven-month assignment
fighting piracy off Somalia.
Farther up the East Coast, emergency offi-
cials urged people to have disaster plans and
supplies ready and weighed whether to order
evacuations as they watched the latest maps
from the National Hurricane Center — namely,
the “cone of uncertainty” showing the broad
path the storm could take.
Earl was expected to reach the North
Carolina coast late Thursday and wheel to the
northeast, staying offshore while making its
way up the Eastern Seaboard. But forecasters
said it could move in closer, perhaps coming
ashore in North Carolina, crossing New York’s
Long Island and passing over the Boston met-
ropolitan area and Cape Cod.
That could make the difference between
modestly wet and blustery weather on the one
hand, and dangerous storm surge, heavy rain
W.H. economist calls for

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Departing White House
economist Christina Romer says the govern-

ployment, but policymakers need to find the
will and wisdom to use them.
Romer called on officials Wednesday to
move forward on policies that will increase
government spending and cut taxes. She also
called for investments in infrastructure and
new trade agreements.
Romer said that while some new policies
should be viewed as emergency measures,

and hurricane-force winds on the other.
“Everyone is poised and ready to pull the
trigger if Earl turns west, but our hope is that
this thing goes out to sea and we’re all golfing
this weekend,” said Peter Judge, a spokesman
for the Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Earl was a pow-
erful Category 4 hurricane centered more than
680 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C.,
with winds of 135 mph.
The only mandatory evacuations were for
30,000 residents and visitors ordered to leave
Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks. Dare

County spokeswoman Dorothy Toolan said
there was no official notification of the evacua-
tion order, and many residents didn’t appear
worried.
Nancy Scarborough, who manages the
Hatteras Cabanas, said locals are ready to help
each other and ride out a hurricane, even if they
are cut off from the mainland for days.
“I worry about not being able to get back
here”’ she said. “I’d rather be stuck on this side
than that side.”

Ocracoke Island to the south, and officials in

areas, but didn’t know how many people would
be affected.
The North Carolina National Guard also is
deploying 80 troops to help and Gov. Beverly
Perdue sent a letter to President Barack Obama
requesting a federal emergency declaration
before landfall in anticipation of damages.
Just a light breeze was stirring and there was-
n’t a cloud in the sky along the Outer Banks —
a ribbon of barrier islands a dozen miles or
more off the mainland, connected to the rest of
the world by a couple of bridges and a ferry.
Along the lone highway, hundreds of cars
backed up at one of the bridges.
Brittany Grippaldi and her family took
advantage of the good weather to pack up their
Ford Explorer in Hatteras and head home to
New Jersey.
“It’s sad because reality hasn’t really set in
because it is so beautiful out. It’s like, ‘Oh, I
don’t want to leave this,’ but it’s like the calm
before the storm,” said Grippaldi, who hoped
to beat the traffic.
Chuck Costas also wasn’t taking any
chances, interrupting his two-week vacation to
move inland from the cottage he rented on
Nags Head on the Outer Banks. Large waves
already crashing ashore uncomfortably close to
the home.
“It is what it is,” he said. “We have no con-
trol over it. If we lose a couple days, it’s not a
huge loss.”
Hurricane warnings were posted for most of
the North Carolina coast, with a hurricane
watch extending to Delaware and part of
Massachusetts.
In Virginia, Gov. Bob McDonnell activated
the National Guard and sent 200 troops to the
Hampton Roads area on Chesapeake Bay. The
area was not expected to get the brunt of Earl,
but many remember the surprise fury of
Hurricane Isabel, which killed 33 people and
caused $1.6 billion in damage in September
2003.

Jumping the shark Contact Us

Y
ou might think the most
dangerous place to be
right now is in a Chilean
mine. Or maybe in the offices of
the Discovery Channel. Or in the
path of Hurricane Earl. Or the law-
less streets of Oakland.
You’d be wrong.
The place to risk life and limb is
right here in little ol’ San Mateo
County where budget cuts and con-
tracted public safety services have
left the public vulnerable to a host
of pressing dangers.
For one thing, there is a moun-
tain lion roaming in Burlingame,
according to those who reported
spotting the creature Wednesday
morning. Granted, these folks may
have just been confused when they
spotted well-kept women shopping
the Burlingame Avenue’s finest
stores with a boy-toy in tow but
still one can never be too careful.
Similarly, the mountain lion might
have been confused, taking a
wrong turn on its way to join
Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto and
ending up on the Peninsula.
Officials say unless it is protect-
ing its young, mountain lions will
avoid confrontation and tend to be
more active in the early morning
and late-night hours. In other
words, vampires and those looking
for a new kitty to bring home
might be in danger. Of course, it’s
not suggested residents do much
more than run away if they spot a

gray squirrel in San Mateo tested positive,

cougar. If the challenge is between
it and the average non-superhero
type, good money is on the cat.
If that isn’t good enough reason
to justify staying inside, barring the
doors and watching a Dancing
With the Stars marathon, West Nile
virus is back. As if humans needed
any reason other than buzzing and
itchy bumps to hate mosquitoes,
the near-annual virus provides
another. In late July, a dead eastern
gray squirrel in San Mateo tested
positive, bringing us one step clos-
er to a widespread West Nile-
SARS-Mad Cow viral mash-up.
This last dash of hot weather also
brings with it a pair of Spare the
Air Days, times when the air quali-
ty district warns people against
strenuous exercise outdoors. Oh
darn, no marathons today. Again,
another reason to seek shelter until
the Arctic winds that visited the
Peninsula last week return.
While hunkered up inside, just
make sure the provisions staff
doesn’t include any eggs or frozen
fruit pops. The salmonella contami-
nation and typhoid-spurred recalls
are a nationwide problem but the
stores and consumers around here
are not immune. If you have any of
these tainted products — particu-
larly the eggs — set them aside.
Better yet, use them to pelt the
mountain lion if it comes calling.
There is no reasonable escape by
water, either.
The Redwood Shores lagoon is
currently off limits, its waters taint-
ed by 48,000 gallons of raw
sewage that spewed from a broken
pipeline. The lagoon is now a great
option for folks who are tired of
getting their E. coli from fast-food
joints and bags of baby spinach and
just maybe it will act as a natural
repellent for all those West Nile
infected mosquitoes. For those who
prefer their boating and swimming
a little more pure and their stom-
achs a little less upset, the lagoon
might not be the best option for
watery recreation.
Coastside waters are no more
comforting. If the tsunami evacua-
tion signs dotting Highway 1 aren’t
enough to give one pause, the
county tested out its warning siren
yesterday morning at full volume.
Not even ears are safe, anymore.
The real risk of coastal waters,
though, has nothing to do with
earthquakes and tsunamis. Instead,
in a page straight from Peter
Benchley, a great white shark has
been patrolling outside Pacifica,
chewing on sea lions and bringing
a little terror to the water.
Grab a small boat and Richard
Dreyfuss, it’s time for the county to
brace for its own version of Jaws.
Maybe even Jaws 3-D. Better yet,
maybe some brave Henry Winkler
look-alike will don a leather jacket
and do his best Fonzie imitation.
The only way to put a lid on the
recent elements panicking the
county might just be jumping the
shark.

Marijuana
proposition is worth it
Editor,
I‘m sure Trustee Peter Hanley
(Officials: Just say to no to pot” in
the Aug. 28 edition of the Daily
Journal) means well in leading the
school board against Proposition
19, but I can easily hear his grand-
father making all the same argu-
ments against ending the prohibi-
tion of alcohol. “Why, how could
we keep demon rum out of our
schools? Do we want to tell our
children that it is just dandy to
drink? And with some hooligans
drinking already, how do we insist
that using alcohol is simply unac-
ceptable?”
The bottom line is that it is
wrong to put adults in jail for drink-
ing alcohol or smoking marijuana.
If ending the prohibitions makes
life harder for high school adminis-
trators, then that is unfortunate but
not a very convincing argument for
everybody else.

High-speed rail should
be below ground
Editor:
I am very concerned about the
California High Speed Rail (HSR)
Authority’s plans for ground level
tracks in Palo Alto and elevated
tracks in all communities north
including Menlo Park, Atherton,
Redwood City and other Peninsula
cities.
As a member of the Atherton Rail
Committee for over four years, I
have been actively involved in
reviewing the plans and alternatives
for the high-speed rail project. In
my testimony before the California
High-Speed Rail Authority at its
Aug. 5, 2010 meeting in San
Francisco, I stated that the train
tracks should be in a tunnel or cov-
ered trench for the residential and
downtown areas when going
through the Peninsula communities.
In addition, I also stated at the
HSR Authority meeting that either a
covered trench or tunneling for the
residential and downtown areas
would add costs of close to $4 bil-
lion. In light of this added cost, I
explained that another alternative,
previously rejected, should come
back into consideration to build the
HSR tracks in the rights-of-way of
either Highway 101 or Interstate
280.
It is time for elected officials in
all communities involved on the
Peninsula to take a strong position
that the high-speed rail system be
built right (underground) or not at
all.

Growing conflicts?
Editor,
The Redwood City-San Mateo
County Chamber of Commerce is
an avid promoter of Cargill’s pro-
posed salt pond development.
Redwood City Mayor Jeff Ira,
Councilman Jeff Gee and John
Bruno, DMB Saltworks vice presi-
dent and general manager, are all
boardmembers of the chamber.
When asked at the Redwood
City Council meeting on Aug. 23,
why this isn’t a conflict of interest,
Mayor Ira argued that his position
was different from Councilwoman
Rosanne Foust’s, (recently outed
by the FPPC for conflicts) saying
there’s a “big difference between
voting to support a project and vot-
ing to support a process.” But that
argument doesn’t jibe with the
facts. Cargill issued a June 16
press release quoting the chamber
endorsing the project: “The ability
to inject this kind of permanent
spending into the local community
and economy is one of the most
welcome aspects of the Saltworks
project.”
The chamber and boardmem-
bers, called Cargill’s proposal “the
shot in the arm the community and
region needs to recover its eco-
nomic footing and have a solid
foundation for the future.”
The icing on Cargill’s cake is the
chamber’s vision statement: “By
2015, the RWCSMC Chamber of
Commerce will be the leading
influential organization driving the
economic, public policy and quali-
ty of life issues facing our commu-
nity.” If the chamber is the leading
organization driving public policy,
how on earth, when it comes time
to vote, can Mayor Ira and
Councilman Gee claim to be neu-
tral? Hello?

San Carlos Councilman Omar Ahmad
posted a letter he drafted to Newt

week in which he lambastes the former
speaker of the House of Representatives
for engaging in “uneducated, pandering
rhetoric and stirring the pot of
‘Islamaphobia,’” in reference to his oppo-
sition to the proposed mosque in New
York City.
Ahmad references the recent controver-
sy in which well-known anti-Muslim
groups bought ads to run on the side of
SamTrans buses. Ahmad agreed with
more than 100 clergy leaders of various
faiths who sent letters condemning the ads
but thought of the protection of the
Constitution and the First Amendment
when he defended the right of the anti-
Muslim group to advertise “their agenda
of hate.”
“Principled leadership is desperately
needed to deal with uncertain futures in an
uncertain time. You chose to take a path
favored by only the lowest of politicians.
... Candidly Mr. Gingrich, between you
and the radical terrorists we both despise,
I don’t know who is doing more harm to
America today,” Ahmad writes.

Open-border policy consequences
— The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
A
nyone who thinks America’s open
border is a thing of compassion
needs to see what 72 dead bodies
looks like.
That’s the number of murdered migrants
found recently in a Mexican ranch house
near the U.S. border - men and women from
Central and South America believed to be
headed for the open U.S. border, but killed
by their ruthless smugglers, perhaps over a
lack of money.
They aren’t the first.
“On July 23,” says one news report,
“police discovered 51 corpses, many of them
buried in shallow mass graves, in a field near
Monterrey. And on May 29, they found 55
bodies that had been thrown into an aban-
doned mine near the central Mexican town
of Taxco.”

Then Police Chief Carlos

Market gets a jolt
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,246.30
NEW YORK — The fear that has been
hanging over markets for most of August
lifted on Wednesday. For how long
remains anyone’s guess.
The stock market started September
with a jolt, turning sharply higher after a
pair of encouraging reports on manufac-
turing sent investors seeking out riskier
investments. Prices for the safest assets
— Treasurys, gold and the dollar — all
fell.
With investors suddenly willing to
embrace risk, the Dow Jones industrial
average added 255 points, its best day
since July 7. All 30 stocks in the Dow
closed higher. That marked a sharp break
from August, when the market’s most
widely used index turned in its worst
performance for the month in nine years.
Reports of stronger-than-expected
manufacturing growth in China and the
U.S snapped a run of discouraging data
on the economy, including dismal read-
ings on home sales and economic output.
The Institute for Supply Management
said manufacturing activity in the U.S.
rose in August, in contrast to regional
reports from recent weeks that pointed to
a slowdown.
Manufacturing lifts economy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Manufacturing is
growing in the United States and abroad,
easing fears that the economy might be
on the verge of a second recession.
The U.S. sector expanded for a 13th
straight month in August, coinciding
with gains in Chinese manufacturing and
auto sales.
The news gave Wall Street a boost,
with investors overlooking dismal
reports on U.S. auto sales and construc-
tion spending. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed 253 points up.

The Dow gained 254.75 points, or 2.5,
percent to close at 10,269.47. Industrial
stocks such as General Electric Co. and
Caterpillar Inc. were among the Dow’s
biggest gainers.
Analysts cautioned that the gains, like
many others the market has seen in recent
weeks, could quickly pass. A bad surprise
from the Labor Department’s monthly
report on employment, due out Friday,
could push investors back into hiding.
The good news on manufacturing
“gives some comfort, but that is only
good until the next number,” said Darell
Krasnoff, managing director at Bel Air
Investment Advisors.
Even with its gains Wednesday, the
Dow is still 989 points below its high
this year of 11,258 reached on April 26.
Nearly half of those losses, or 451
points, came in August as the market
was bombarded with bad news on the
economy.
Daniel Penrod, senior industry analyst
at the California Credit Union League,
said manufacturing reports have become
U.S. exports and help sustain the U.S.
economic recovery.
“Companies that have established dis-
tribution capabilities in big markets such
as China, India and Brazil are doing
well,” said Brian Bethune, chief U.S.
financial economist at IHS Global
Insight. “These markets are pretty much
the main game in town until the
American household gets out of the
intensive care unit.”
In the U.S., manufacturing has helped
lead the economy out of the worst reces-
sion since the 1930s and factories kept
churning out goods last month.

said Wednesday that its manufacturing
index rose to 56.3 in August from 55.5 in

but it hasn’t caught on with the main-

a leading indicator for whether compa-
nies might start adding new jobs.
“If manufacturers ramp up ... it’s
going to require hiring,” Penrod said.
“Getting closer to that threshold (of hir-
ing) is vital to the economy.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose
30.96, or 3 percent, to 1,080.29. The
S&P 500 lost 4.7 percent in August, its
worst showing for the month since 2001,
when the dot-com bubble was implod-
ing. The Nasdaq gained 62.81, or 3 per-

surged since late 2009 and hit a six-year

U.S. factories have seen rising demand

at a time of uncertainty for the recovery.
Jobs are scarce, the unemployment rate
is near double digits, home sales are at the
lowest level in 15 years, and the American

Cherokees are loaded
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Few people can remember the last
time the Sequoia High football team
entered a season as a bona-fide con-
tender to win a Peninsula Athletic
League division championship.
But that’s exactly the situation the
Cherokees find themselves in enter-
ing the 2010 season. Coming off a
solid 7-3 campaign — the most
wins the Redwood City school has
had in over a decade — Sequoia is
primed for a run for the Lake
Division title. That’s what happens
when you return 11 starters, almost
every player at the skill positions
along with an influx of new talent.
“We want to be able to carry last
year’s momentum into this year,”
coach Rob Poulos said. “That last
game (a 26-10 win over Carlmont)
was important for us because we
finally took that big step in learning
how to deal with adversity. We were
down 10-0 and scored 26 unan-
swered, and that was it. In two of the
three games we lost, we fell behind
and couldn’t figure how to come
back. We learned how to win and
that’s a crucial first step (towards
building a successful program).”
Offensively, the Cherokees could
present a number of matchup prob-
lems for the opposition. They return

NCAA gets Masoli decision correct
I
’m not a big fan of the NCAA as a gov-
erning body. There’s just something
wrong when coaches and schools make
billions of dollars off of athletes who get in
trouble for accepting a free hamburger.
But in the case of former University of
Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, I have to
admit, the NCAA got it right.
Masoli, who was the starter his junior year at
Serra in 2004, was denied playing for the
University of Mississippi. Masoli, who was
kicked off the team at Oregon for two high-pro-
file run-ins with the law, ostensibly transferred
to Ole Miss to get himself a master’s degree in
parks and recreation services. He had already
completed his undergraduate degree at Oregon.
The NCAA allows players with eligibility to
transfer to another school to complete graduate
programs not offered at their initial school and
play for their new school right away. A couple
years ago, a Duke University player transferred
to Stanford to complete get his master’s degree.
Let’s be honest. If Masoli wasn’t kicked off
the Oregon team, he
would have stayed with
the Ducks. Once he was
dismissed, he started
looking around to see if
could finish his final year
of eligibility elsewhere.
It doesn’t appear that his
decision is all that altru-
istic. His main goal is not
necessarily to earn his
master’s degree, but to
play football.
He still can, but he
would have to use his
redshirt year this season and then would be
available to play for the Rebels next season. If
he truly is committed to his education, this
would be no problem. But I have a feeling his
move was strictly made for football reasons.
What right does Masoli have to complain?
He made his own bed, now it’s time to lie in it.
He’s lucky he’s not in jail right now. I don’t

think Masoli is a bad person, but his legal trou-
bles are hardly innocent transgressions.
Rumors swirled about why he was tossed out
of Serra, but he put his nose to the grindstone
and graduated from a school in Hawaii before
showing up at San Francisco City College. He
apparently kept his nose clean there and earned
a scholarship to Oregon, where he led the
Ducks to the Rose Bowl last year, giving
Oregon fans hope of an even better season in
2010 and he was being talked up as a Heisman
Trophy candidate.
But in the offseason he got busted for bur-
glary of a frat house and then got pinched on a
marijuana charge.
I’m all about second chances and Masoli is
essentially on his third chance. He should be
grateful Ole Miss took a shot on him, but let’s
be real — Ole Miss did not let him come to
school because it wanted to give him another
chance or to give him a place to earn his mas-
ter’s degree. It did it because he can help the
Rebels win games.

Mills excited
about future
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Mills football team has never had
huge numbers, but this year’s squad is small
compared to those standards with only 24
on the varsity roster.
Throw out three ineligible players and
one injury and the Vikings will open the
season Friday with just 20 players dressed.
Despite the low turnout, fourth-year
coach Packy Moss said they are an opti-
mistic, realistic bunch.
“Since I’ve been here, we’ve [had roster
sizes] in the 30s,” Moss said. “(But) these
24 guys I have are great kids. They under-
stand what they’re up against.
“This is what we have, this is what we’re
going with.”
Despite the small roster, Moss appeared
to be generally excited about the future of
the Vikings program. For the first time, the
Vikings will field a freshman-only squad,
giving the school three teams and hopes of
building a solid program in the future. Moss
said many freshmen at Mills have never
played the game and were a bit intimidated
playing against older, more experienced
players at the frosh-soph level. There is also
the fact many of the newcomers barely saw
any game time during the season, thus
stunting their growth for the future.
“As soon as I announced we were fielding
a freshman team, another 20 (players)
showed up,” Moss said. “It was amazing.”
Mills won’t reap those benefits for a few
years, however, so the present will be a
work in progress. The Vikings lost a ton of
athletic talent from last year’s varsity squad
and have major holes to fill at many posi-
tions. The one saving grace is the return of
quarterback Brandon Berkovatz. He started

Ole Miss plans to appeal the NCAA’s ruling
in an attempt to have Masoli eligible for this
season. But really, Masoli should just accept
the decision and move on. Now we’ll really
find out Masoli’s motives: Does he accept the
ruling, bury his head in his school work and
come back next year or, does he drop out of
school and prepare for next year’s NFL draft?

Here it is, September, and the San Francisco
Giants are in the thick of the playoff race. As

cate last year’s 88-win season. Will 88 wins be
good enough to get into the postseason?
Probably not. And unless the Giants pitching
staff starts living up the hype of one of the best
rotations in baseball, they’ll be hard-pressed to
reach that goal.
The thing is, the Giants are really only mar-
ginally better than they were last season. The

Raiders deny interest in Leinart

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The Oakland
Raiders have plenty of roster moves
they need to make before the start of
the season.
Apparently trading for Matt
Leinart isn’t one of them. The
Raiders denied a report from ESPN
on Wednesday that said the team has
had discussions about trading with
Arizona for Leinart.
“The Raiders have never dis-
cussed trading for Leinart,” the team
said in a statement. “The Raiders
are very happy about their quarter-
back situation.”
Oakland acquired Jason Campbell
in an offseason trade with
Washington and is pleased with
what he’s brought as the starter.
Campbell led Oakland to touch-
downs on the opening drives of the
last two exhibition games. He sus-
tained a stinger and an injured right
wrist last week against San
Francisco but is expected to be
ready for the season opener Sept. 12
in Tennessee.
Bruce Gradkowski and Kyle
Boller are slated to be the backups
as quarterback
appears to be
one position that
is set heading
into the final
exhibition game
against Seattle
on Thursday
night.
Matt Leinart Oakland must
reduce its roster
from 75 to 53 by Saturday, giving
some of the fringe players one last
chance to make a good enough
impression to make the team.
“I think you have to show up.
They’re on the bubble for a reason
because they have not shown up to
this point,” coach Tom Cable said.
“You have to make an exclamation
point on Thursday night.”
The biggest questions left to be
answered for the Raiders are the
starters at center, fullback and cor-
nerback; the backup running backs
and receivers; the primary kick and
punt returners; and which lineback-
ers and defensive backs make the
roster as backups and special teams
players.
Cable said recently this will be
the toughest cut-down decision in
his four years with the organization
because of the improved depth.
“There’s definitely going to be
some eye-openers,” safety Michael
Huff said. “But that’s what goes
with being a good organization,
being a team that has quality depth
and great players. There’s always
going to be competition and there’s
going to be players that could start
for other teams but because we have
so much depth here, they won’t be
able to play here.”
Among the players who have
started in past years for Oakland but
aren’t guaranteed roster spots this
season are safety Hiram Eugene,
and linebackers Thomas Howard,
Ricky Brown and Sam Williams.
All three linebackers started
games last year when Cable said
that unit was one of the biggest
weaknesses on the defense.
Williams has done well on special
teams this summer and Brown pro-
vides versatility with the ability to
play middle or outside linebacker.
Howard was once viewed as a build-
ing block on the defense starting 62
of 64 games in his first four seasons.
He intercepted six passes in 2007,
returning two for touchdowns, but is
fighting for a backup spot this sea-
son with players like Williams,
Brown and Quentin Groves.
“It’s just a blessing to be out here
and playing this game we all love,”
Howard said. “People forget that it’s
an opportunity, and that’s how I am
looking at it — as an opportunity to
go out and play.”
Cable hasn’t named starters at
center, where Samson Satele
appears to have the edge over rook-
ie Jared Veldheer, and cornerback,
where Chris Johnson and Stanford
Routt are fighting for a starting job
opposite Nnamdi Asomugha.
Marcel Reece has done his best to
seize the fullback job that entered
camp as an open competition. Luke
Lawton will miss the first two
games with a suspension and
undrafted rookie Manase Tonga is
the only other fullback on the roster.
Reece has four catches for 87
yards, bringing an added element
with his ability to make plays in the
passing game.
“He just continues to get better,”
Cable said. “That’s the thing that
he’s shown us is that, from one
week to the next he’s going out and
improving on whatever his nega-
tives were from the week before. It’s
starting to show up more and more
that this guy, you can coach him,
he’ll take it and he’ll go get it again.
I certainly think that he’s really
showing himself the right way.”
With Michael Bush’s status for
the opener in doubt because of a
broken left thumb, the Raiders
might end up keeping both Michael
Bennett and Rock Cartwright as
backup running backs to Darren
McFadden.
The Raiders will also have some
difficult decisions to make at receiv-
er and defensive back. Louis
Murphy, Darrius Heyward-Bey and
Chaz Schilens appear set as the top
three receivers, with players like
Johnnie Lee Higgins, Jacoby Ford,
Yamon Figurs, Nick Miller and
Todd Watkins fighting for the other
spots.
With all those players other than
Watkins competing for the return
jobs as well, special teams could
play a big role in who makes the
team.
At defensive back, three drafted
rookies are in the running for roster
spots in fifth-round cornerback
Walter McFadden, seventh-round
cornerback Jeremy Ware and sev-
enth-round safety Stevie Brown.

Being voted the Offensive Player of
the Year? Nice, but MVP is his target
again. If he runs for 2,000 yards
again, he reasons voters can’t deny
rewarding such a historic perform-
ance.
“I feel like I’m never satisfied,”
Johnson said. “I’m coming back in
with the same mindset that I haven’t
done anything yet.”
Brash statements coming from a
guy so soft-spoken that reporters have
to push to get microphones close
enough to hear him. But Johnson has
the tools to back them up.
A native of Orlando, Fla., he fin-
ished second in the 100-meter dash in
a state meet to eventual 2008
Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix.
Only one college want him to play
his preferred position of running
back, but in his senior year at East
Carolina he led the nation with 227.7
all-purpose yards a game. He posted a
4.24-second time in the 40-yard dash
at the NFL combine, believed to be
the fastest electronically measured
time at the event dating back to 1982.
When the draft started, four running
backs were taken before the Titans
grabbed Johnson at No. 24 overall.
He’s been nearly unstoppable ever
since.
He ran for 1,228 yards in 2008 and
gave a glimpse in the Titans’ second
game last season how he planned to
live up to his pre-
season boasts of
running for 2,000
yards. He ran for
197 yards on 16
carries against
Houston, a game
featuring a 69-
yard touchdown
Chris Johnson catch where he
lined up wide left
with no defender nearby so he waved
at Kerry Collins to make sure the
quarterback saw him.
No one’s left him that wide-open
since.
Johnson finished 2009 with 11
straight games of 100-yards rushing
and needs only three more to match
the NFL record for consecutive 100-
yard games set by Barry Sanders in
1997. He set the NFL record for yards
from scrimmage with 2,509 yards and
became the league’s first player to
rush for at least 2,000 yards (2,006)
and have 500 yards receiving. He also
was the only unanimous pick to the
All Pro team.
Only Dickerson and Edgerrin
James had more yards from scrim-
mage through their first two seasons
than Johnson (3,997).
Johnson immediately started lob-
bying the Titans to make him the
highest paid offensive player in the
NFL and stayed away from the team
during the offseason. With the NFL’s
labor deal in its final year, he didn’t
get his wish.
The Titans did shuffle incentives
Johnson already had satisfied but
wasn’t due to be paid for until 2012
into this year, adding approximately
$1.5 million to his base salary of
$550,000 — enough for Johnson to
report to training camp on time. He
knows another big season will force
the Titans to pay him the more than
$30 million in guaranteed money that
he really wants.
Johnson followed the same work-
out plan that he used to reach 2,000
the first time. He stuck around the
Orlando condo he shares with Jaguars
receiver Mike Sims-Walker, a friend
since grade school. In their free time,
they stayed busy adding tattoos and
even flew an artist up from Miami.
Neither knows how many he has.
“Just a matter of liking tattoos and
liking art,” Sims-Walker said.
“They’re kind of like addictive. Once
you get one, you want another and
you keep going from there.”
Another of Johnson’s ambitions: be
as well known as Kobe Bryant or
Michael Jordan. He shot commercials
with his Nike and Powerade endorse-
ments and has been on 17 different
magazine covers now and counting.
Johnson doesn’t feel he should
change his dreadlocks, gold teeth or
tattoos just to fit what others think
companies want.

Lincecum re-discovers ‘A’game

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Pinch-runner Darren
Ford scored the go-ahead run from second
base on a wild pitch and throwing error in the
eighth inning, helping Tim Lincecum end a
career-worst five-start skid in the San
Francisco Giants’ 2-1 victory over Colorado
on Wednesday night.
Ubaldo Jimenez (17-6) was denied in his
fifth attempt at a franchise-record 18th win.
He lost his third straight start and fourth con-
secutive decision dating to a win over the
Giants on Aug. 4.
The Giants gained another game on the
first-place Padres, pulling within three games
in the NL West race after San Diego lost its
Giants 2, Rockies 1
seventh in a row.
Lincecum (12-9) won
for the first time since July
30. He hung tough in an
impressive pitchers’ duel
between the two-time
reigning NL Cy Young
Award winner and the guy
who may unseat him for
Tim Lincecum the honor this season.
Ford came through
hours after being called up from Double-A
Richmond. Veterans Aubrey Huff and Pat
Burrell exchanged chest slaps, while Pablo
Sandoval greeted Ford with a big hug in the
dugout.
Lincecum allowed five hits, struck out nine
and walked one in eight innings. All-Star
closer Brian Wilson pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for
his 38th save in 42 chances.
Second baseman Freddy Sanchez, facing
the outfield, made an over-the-shoulder catch
on Melvin Mora’s popup to end it. Sanchez
laid flat on his back in relief as the crowd at
AT&T Park roared.
Carlos Gonzalez homered to start the fourth
for the Rockies, who did little else against
Lincecum on a night the hard-throwing right-
hander looked like his old self again.
Winning this series for the Giants was huge
considering they dropped the opener Monday
on a bizarre broken-bat triple.
Jimenez didn’t allow a hit until Jose Guillen
singled to right leading off the fifth. Buster
Posey walked and Sandoval struck out swing-
ing before Mike Fontenot’s RBI single made
it 1-all.
Lincecum went 1-3 last September and
expects more from himself this time to keep
his team in the playoff chase.
Colorado now heads home for a makeup
game with the Phillies on Thursday before
traveling to San Diego for a key weekend
series.
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki returned to the
Rockies’ lineup after missing two games with
a sore left groin. He went 0 for 4 and had his
hitting streak snapped at 10 games.
NOTES: The Giants activated SS Edgar
Renteria and LHP reliever Dan Runzler from
the disabled list. Renteria wasn’t in the start-
ing lineup after his third DL stint and manag-
er Bruce Bochy said Juan Uribe would get
most of the work at that spot the rest of the
way.

offensively this season. At 6-foot-5,
Berkovatz has the build of a big-time
quarterback and he’s spent the off-
season getting bigger and stronger,
as well as working with his receivers.
“(Having Berkovatz back) is really
huge for us because we’re going to
change up what we do,” Moss said.
“As far as recognizing coverages and
things of that nature, that’s improved
a lot. We still have to work on his
mechanics.”
While the Vikings will still use the
parts of the fly offense that features a
lot of man in motion with sweeps
and tosses, look for the Vikings to
throw the ball a lot more this season.
“We’re still going to try to stay
with the fly, but try to open it up
more,” Moss said. “We have four or
five good receivers. We’ll try to mix
it up a little bit more.”
Junior Weyland Quan will get the
bulk of carries, while Parth Patel and
Jacob Rodriguez — who are both
listed as receivers on the roster —
will handle the pitches and sweeps.
The offensive line will be general-
ly undersized, except for junior Jeff
Shu — a 6-foot-4, 215-pound return-
ing lineman, who is moving from

will provide the beef up front.
Mills Quarterback Brandon Berkovatz gained invaluable experience
starting last year as a sophomore. More will be expected of him this
season as the Vikings expect to throw the ball more.
“Nick and Jeff are anchoring the
line,” Moss said. “I need (Nick) on
the edge.”
Because of the small roster, the
same players expected to excel on
offense must do so on defense as
well. Armanasco will man the mid-
dle linebacker spot and will be the
leader of the defense, calling out the
defensive plays.
Moss is particularly excited to see

“We moved him up (to varsity)

Yankees finish off sweep of A’s LOUNGE
By Rick Freeman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After A.J. Burnett had a
tough outing last week, he found pitching coach
Dave Eiland.
“He said, ‘That’s it. No more of these,”’
Eiland said. “I said, ‘Let’s get to work.”’
Five days later, the Yankees’ right-hander has
a key September win — he held Oakland to
three runs in six innings and New York beat the
Athletics 4-3 to stay in first place in the AL
East.
Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-run homer in
the fourth for Oakland, which got within a run
an inning later. But Burnett didn’t unravel and
the Yankees bullpen got the game to Mariano
Rivera for his 28th save.
Oakland starter Brett Anderson, only allowed
one earned run, but the A’s fell to 1-8 against
New York this season. He committed a key
error and then appeared rattled after bobbling a
throw from first baseman Daric Barton while
covering the bag, leading to three runs.
The Yankees held their one-game lead over
Tampa Bay. They’ll go for a four-game sweep
Thursday with CC Sabathia on the mound.
“Just because we have CC tomorrow doesn’t
Yankees 4, A’s 3
mean we can let up,” Derek
Jeter said.
Burnett (10-12) went 0-4
in five starts since his last
win, July 28 at Cleveland.
He came off a particularly
rough outing in which he
lasted 3 1-3 innings and tied
a season high with eight
Kevin earned runs, leaving him
Kouzmanoff with a 7.80 ERA in August.
Burnett struck out eight
and was relieved after six innings and 91 pitch-
es, in part, manager Joe Girardi said, because
New York’s bullpen was well-rested. It proba-
bly also didn’t hurt that it kept Burnett in line
for a long-awaited win — even though Burnett
said that wasn’t important to him.
“My job is to go out there like I did tonight,”
Burnett said. “And keep it going next time.”
Rivera struck out Kurt Suzuki with a runner
on second to end it. Yankees reliever Joba
Chamberlain and Kerry Wood both put runners
on first and second with two outs before escap-
ing to end the previous two innings.
Anderson (3-6) has lost four of his last five
starts. He gave up eight hits in six innings.
Mark Ellis had three hits for the A’s, who
gave up 20 runs in the first two games of the
series, but couldn’t capitalize when they held
the Yankees to four.
Coco Crisp’s RBI groundout that made it 4-3
in the fifth was possible because Rajai Davis
stole third base after he doubled.
The Yankees got a couple of breaks in their
three-run second inning that made it 4-0.
Curtis Granderson and Eduardo Nunez hit
one-out singles just over shortstop Cliff
Pennington’s glove.
Granderson motored home as Jeter was safe
at first when Anderson bobbled the catch and
fell over while covering first.
“It was one of the few times in my short base-
ball career that I actually beat him to the bag,”
Anderson said. “I should’ve just caught it and
stepped on the bag, but I looked at the bag
before I caught it and then missed the ball and
tried to grab it and fell.
“It was kind of a typical play with me being
unathletic.”
Anderson then walked Nick Swisher and
Mark Teixeira’s two-run single went just
between the outstretched gloves of Pennington
and Kouzmanoff at third base.
Continued from page 11
offense was upgraded, as was, believe it or not, the
defense. But when the Giants all but admit their
team is built on pitching, that part of the team is not
living up to expectations right now.
The Giants’ problems in August are exactly
what have plagued them all year as well as last sea-
son: inconsistency. How many times has the entire
team — starting pitching, offense and bullpen —
been firing on all cylinders? It happened in July,
but that’s about it. When the starting pitching is on,
the offense is off. When the offense and starting
pitching have been nails, the bullpen blows up.
Even more maddening is the fact they can’t
seem to catch any breaks. As the San Diego Padres
have led the National League West for most of the
summer, most everybody said they wouldn’t keep
it up. Remember how hot the Giants were in July?
The Padres were just as hot. Now, the Padres are
mired in their longest losing streak of the season
and the Giants are spinning their wheels.
Until the Giants can get all three aspects of their
team playing well at the same time, their seven-
year playoff drought will continue.

ing threat,” Poulos said. “He’s got a
strong arm, is accurate and has a nice
touch. I think we’re going to create
some matchup problems with the
options we have.”
Sequoia runs a variety of offensive
formations, as it will go with four-
receiver sets one moment and three
running back sets the next. The
Cherokees are so deep at running back
that Poulos feels confident handing the
ball off to five players: returning seniors
Isaias Flores, Loti Lauese and Brandon
Gibson, junior Josh Lauese and fresh-
man Matt Jenkins, who will also play
outside linebacker.
“I’ve never had a freshman on the
varsity,” said Poulos, who is in his sec-
ond year coaching Sequoia and was
previously an assistant for five years at
Vista Murrieta in Southern California.
“But Matt is a very focused kid and
very athletic. He’s raw obviously, but at
the same time he’s physical, fast and
has that get-after-it mentality. He wants
to compete at the varsity level.”
Seniors Gibson and Loti Lauese did-
n’t play last year, so they’ve been a
welcome addition. Both will play
receiver and running back, and give the
team added depth at the skill positions.
In addition to seeing some time at run-
ning back, Josh Lauese will have an
even bigger impact at free safety. The
junior standout is the reigning Lake
Division Defensive Player of the Year, a
fearsome hitter who relies on a combi-
nation of athleticism and instincts to
make a number of game-changing
plays.
Middle linebacker Christian Chavez
is another difference-maker on defense.
The 6-foot, 225-pound senior led the
team in tackles last season and is
always in the right place at the right
time. Chavez, who also is the starting
center, is one of only three players on
the team who plays both ways on a full-
time basis. Because of the team’s depth,
Poulos is able to keep most of the play-
ers on one side of the ball. However,
Chavez is an exception because of his
work ethic and talent.
“Technically, he’s just proficient,”
Poulos said. “He just snuck up on me
last year. (Entering last year) we didn’t
have him high on our internal list until
we started crunching the stats and film.
The more we watched, the more we
saw him making the right play, the right
read and almost never being out of
position. He’s not going to make the
highlight-reel play (often), but he’s
more important in that he’s the type of
player you need on a team to win.” Coach: Rob Poulos,2nd year

Blood Drive
The Millbrae Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Blood
Centers of the Pacific (BCP) to host a blood drive during the
festival with the goal of helping to boost the critically low blood
supply in the Bay Area. The festival will host the BCP Bloodmobile
where festivalgoers can give blood after going through a screen-
ing process. Typically, summer is when blood shortages occur
due to vacations and fewer blood drives at venues such as high
schools and colleges. Shortages result in rationing of blood to
hospitals and serious concern over a region’s ability to respond to
large scale emergencies. The Bloodmobile will be in the parking
lot next to Office Depot on Broadway.
Public Transportation/Shuttle
Public transit systems BART, Caltrain and Samtrans will be
running their holiday weekend service both days of the festival. For
Caltrain and SamTrans schedule information, call 800-660-4287 or
vist www.caltrain.com or www.samtrans.com. For BART information,
visit www.bart.gov. Free round-trip shuttle service will be available
from the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station every twenty minutes, drop-
ping off and picking up riders at the south end of the festival near

courtesy of your pets and festival-goers, please leave your pets at

ner or hummingbird feeder by Pioneer residents Jack and Betty
Borges. They also make Wine Country-inspired table centerpieces
–– perfect for the upcoming holidays! Your holiday table will dazzle
your guests with exquisite linens from Pleasant Hill resident Deb
Cassidy, who describes her business as “a bit of Provence with a
California touch.” Her family grows lavender in Sonoma County. In
addition to her beautiful tablecloths and table runners, Deb sells
lavender drawer sachets, eye pillows and neck wraps. Ease a pain in
the neck fast with a handmade, therapeutic millet pillow handmade
by Oregonian Jason Curasi. These genius creations ease head-
aches, tension and insomnia. Looking for the perfect gift for that
special someone? South San Francisco artist Laura Mitchell paints
delicate flowers and luscious fruit on shimmering glass ornaments,
wine glasses, oil bottles and vases.
Wearable Art
Millbrae jewelry designer Albert Del Nero uses shimmering
opals and sapphires to make gorgeous pendants. Stones range
from iridescent to deep cobalt blue. Indulge in customized flip-flop
sandals adorned with Swarovski crystals by Modesto resident Alice
Martinez. These comfy, warm weather must-haves come in all sorts
colorful designs. Keep your little one warm with an animal-themed
fleece hat, poncho, jacket or cape sewn by Pacifica’s Jenny Yee.
Choose from pandas, monkeys, pumpkins, ladybugs and piglets.
Brenda and Larry Brown of Vacaville make whimsical quilted fabric
purses, wallets and accessories in unusual fabrics ranging from
teapots to marine life. Choose from a myriad of shapes and sizes.
The holidays are just around the corner! Stock up on fall ar-
rangements and whimsical home accessories by Daly City resident
Corinne Rebizzo. She makes “Welcome” signs and harvest decora-
tions using a wide range of rustic mixed-media materials. Time

Van Halen, Guns ‘n’ Roses to Cheap Trick and Twisted Sister.
Fine Art
Sunnyvale artist Karen Wright paints crashing tides, mismatched
seashells and spiraling wildflowers in her original watercolor
paintings. Her style is contemporary and ethereal –– almost
as if one has slipped into a dream. Livermore resident Erin
Filliater has a passion for photography and a gift for capturing
extraordinary subjects in ordinary situations, whether it is the
natural rock formation of the Grand Canyon, a pensive giraffe, a
retro steering wheel or a thunder-faced gorilla. Cloverdale artist
Clay Vajgrt is a luminous oil painter. He pays close attention to
light and shadow in his lush landscapes and farm scenes. The
late Halim El Haroussi strove for simplicity and harmony in his
life and art. Growing up in Morocco, he watched his mother
weave rugs and make pottery. A true artist at heart, he was rarely
without a sketchpad. The artist’s wife, Dyanna, will sell El
Haroussi’s charcoal and pastel drawings, which are collected by
high-profile clients including politicians and movie stars. The
artist was fascinated by expressing movement and form with a
minimal number of strokes. His drawings are linear and simple,
yet evoke intrigue and emotion.
Millbrae Art & Wine Festival
to Feature a New Microbrew
Tasting Tent
I n recent years, more and more beer drinkers have
shifted their allegiance to the smaller-production,
higher-quality craft beers. This year, the Millbrae Art &
Wine Festival ––September 4-5 –– has something new
just for them: a Microbrew Tasting Tent.
“It’s only fitting that a festival featuring the finest, handmade
art also feature the best handcrafted beer,” says festival chair Lisa
Fitzgibbons Charney. “We’re delighted to offer our new tasting tent
to the many aficionados of craft brews. It’s a perfect addition to the
festival and something we think will be a big hit.”
Sample exceptional, seasonal brews like Batch 19, Mendocino
Brewing White Hawk, Blue Moon Harvest Moon, Sam Adams
Blackberry Wit, Full Sail Session Black Lager, Pyramid Audacious
Apricot, 21st Amendment Back in Black IPA, Anderson Valley Sum-
mer Solstice, Anchor Steam Hummingbird Ale and Ballast Point Big
Eye. For $10, you get 3 tasting tickets, each good for a 6-ounce pour.
Special thanks to our sponsor, DBI Beverages, for making the beer
tasting possible.
The Microbrew Tasting Tent will be located in the festival’s
Cantina, on Broadway between Victoria and La Cruz. The popular
Cantina, a shaded oasis to sit down and take a break, also hosts the
“Classically Cool Car Show” featuring vintage touring cars, custom
hot rods, sleek sports cars, super cool low riders and more. ♦
Classically Cool Cars
Add to Festival Fun
F ans of classic, vintage and exotic cars will want to
head to the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival for the “Clas-
sically Cool Car Show”, September 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Broadway.
Vintage touring cars, custom hot rods, powerful muscle cars,
and sleek sports cars are just a sampling of the twenty or so cars
expected to be on display each day.
A different set of cars will be displayed each day, “so it’s worth
coming out both days to check out the fabulous array,” said car
show visionary, John Ford, also CEO of the Millbrae Chamber of
Commerce.
The car show will be located in the festival’s Cantina, on Broad-
way between Victoria and La Cruz.
“The Cantina is the perfect spot to display the cars”, said Ford.
“It’s a shaded oasis where you can sit down, take a break, sample
the delicious microbrews in our new tasting tent, and then wander
among the rows of world-class cars.” ♦
Millbrae’s Down-Home Festival
Showcases International Food
With Premium Wines, Microbrews, Margaritas
and Mojitos to Complement the Fab Fare
I f the United Nations had its own street food fair, it
would look a lot like the food vendor areas at the Mill-
brae Art & Wine Festival, coming September 4–5, 10 a.m
to 5 p.m. The charming downtown’s bustling Broadway
will be lined with vendors offering traditional fare from
Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.
The authentic French crêpes at Lemoine Crêperie make you feel
like you’re wandering the streets of Paris as you bite into classic
savory options like ham, cheese and spinach, or dessert-y varieties
filled with seasonal delights like fresh strawberries and peaches or
rich Nutella and whipped cream.
Ultimate Souvlaki, new to the festival this year, gives you a tour
of old-world Greek fare, as created by Bobby “The Greek” Gekas, a
member of Slow Food International who uses only organic, locally
sourced ingredients. Try his souvlakis—small kebabs of lamb,
chicken, swordfish or baby octopus. Or be a little adventurous and
sample his Cypriot sheftalia—meatballs of lamb, pork, red onions,
parsley and spices, wrapped in caul fat (the membrane surround-
ing the stomach of a pig or lamb, which melts away when cooked).
Everything comes with pita, yogurt-cucumber tzatziki, tomato and
onions.
Duke’s Wrap Delight also gives a nod to Greece with delicately
spiced beef-and-lamb gyros wrapped in pita. They salute the Middle
East with flavorful falafel. And for super-hungry all-American
appetites, they serve up a ½-pound (!) pork-and-beef sausage on a
French roll with grilled onions and peppers, as well as ribbon fries
sliced and fried to order.
Vietnamese cuisine is the specialty of Saigon BBQ. Their cold
spring rolls are a refreshingly light bite, with a rice-paper wrapper
around delicate rice noodles, shrimp, steamed pork and lettuce. The
crisp-fried imperial rolls are stuffed with shrimp and crabmeat,
carrots and taro root. Barbecued chicken and pork are offered on a
Continued on page 5

Continued from page 4
stick, in a sandwich, or with rice vermicelli noodles in a sweet-and-
sour salad.
Another stop for Asian food is Sonoma Teriyaki. Their teriyaki
chicken comes on the skewer or atop rice with steamed carrots and
broccoli. The veggies are also available with chow mein and fried
rice. Thai-style barbecue is on the menu at Thai Stick, where the
skewered chicken and pork are sliced thin and served on the stick.
The chicken also comes in a rice bowl or as a wrap.
Aroma Concessions serves up a taste of Mexico with fried cala-
mari accompanied by a zippy cilantro-lime sauce. Their extensive
menu also features tender fried zucchini and artichokes, roasted
corn and garlic fries, smoked turkey legs, cheese steaks, hot dogs
and corn dogs.
Also from south of the border are the delectable Salvadorean
pupusas from Sweet Delights. The plump corn masa cakes are
stuffed simply with cheese, or with a combination of cheese and the
traditional loroco flower, or cheese and chicharrones (pork). They
come with curtido, a tangy relish of cabbage, carrots, peppers and
vinegar. Sweet Delights also offers a variety of burgers (Angus beef,
turkey, salmon and portobello mushroom) cheese steaks, hand-
dipped foot-long corn dogs, gyros, and zucchini and artichokes fried
in Parmesan batter. For dessert, they fry up gourmet funnel cakes
with fresh strawberries, bananas or mango and whipped cream.
Locals have a special place in their hearts for Leonardo’s Deli,
a Millbrae institution known as a hangout for baseball legend Joe
DiMaggio and other sports stars who lived on the Peninsula. They
make classic deli sandwiches with Italian and Polish sausages and
barbecued chicken breasts, loaded with grilled peppers and onions,
as well as kid-friendly hot dogs.
Uncle Bill is back this year with his famous traditional corn dogs,
as well as his signature Cajun variety made with Louisiana hot
links. Then there’s Uncle Mike, with his “giant bad-ass sausage”—
a ½-pound smoked pork-and-beef sausage with grilled onions and
sauerkraut, served on a hefty roll. He also cooks up a substantial
deep-fried combo of zucchini, mushrooms and breaded mozzarella, as
well as corn dogs and curly fries.
Several other meat-‘n’-potatoes vendors include Gourmet Faire,
featuring gyros, crispy calamari and garlic fries; Earthly Delights,
with Philly cheese steaks and Parmesan-garlic fries; Pedemonte and
Company, serving chicken sandwiches, cheese steaks, fries; and
Backyard BBQ, with a variety of items for the grill.
Ear-Good Corn Roast rushes late-harvest corn to the festival and
roasts it on-site right in the husk. Corn makes the perfect snack at
the Olde Tyme Kettle Corn booth, where the aroma of fresh popping
is always irresistible. For a refreshingly cool dessert, Kurlander
Soft Serve has frozen yogurt in flavors ranging from old-fashioned
chocolate, vanilla and strawberry to tangy piña colada and intrigu-
ing blue goo.
Thirsty yet? Enjoy a Sauza Original Margarita or Cruzan Rum
Premium Mojito for a deliciously refreshing beverage alterna-
tive. Genuine Sauza Blanco Tequila and masterfully blended with
premium triple sec gives Sauza Original Margarita –– the world’s
most popular cocktail –– its distinctive, smooth, and mouth-watering
Millbrae Art & Wine Festival 5
flavor. Cruzan Aged Light Rum blended with fresh lime juice, soda,
a dash of bitters and mint poured over ice and you’ve got a delicious
mojito, perfect for a warm afternoon stroll.
The stellar wine list will feature award-winning varietals from
Mas Wine Company: Mas Vino (a red blend) and Mas Chardonnay,
along with Beringer Founders Estate Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Beringer White Zinfandel and Wolf
Blass Sparkling Brut.
eer lovers will be delighted with the assortment of world-class
brews –– Sam Adams Summer Ale, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Blue
Moon Belgian White and Coors Light.
Sip your favorite beverage in a beautiful, collector-item wine or
beer glass adorned with the stylish festival logo. Festivalgoers will
find spacious seating areas with umbrella tables and chairs located
throughout the festival. ♦
Thrills and Chills
Rule Kids’ Playland
F or endless adventure, sheer excitement and an
unbeatable entertainment value with activities the
whole family will enjoy, don’t miss the action-packed
Kids’ Playland at the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival,
September 4-5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Broadway.
Located at the festival’s north end, at Broadway and
Meadow Glen, the amusements for youngsters of all
ages will include everything from a 24-foot climbing
wall and nostalgic carnival rides to super cool face
painting and a towering 120’ slide.
Genial George D’Olivo is a kid’s best friend. His company, Clas-
sic Amusements, provides exciting rides, games and concessions
for special events throughout the West. D’Olivo’s well-maintained
equipment, friendly staff and selection of sought-after attrac-
tions have turned the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival into a “can’t
miss” event for families. “It’s the best family entertainment value
out there,” said D’Olivo. “We haven’t raised ticket prices in over
10 years,” he said. Tickets are $1 a piece and most of the rides
charge 3 tickets. Discounts are available based on the number of
tickets you buy.
D’Olivo plans to debut several rides at this year’s festival includ-
ing the Dixieland Twister, a 10-seat mechanical swing, and Zoom,
a true piece of Americana –– it’s the actual ride, fully restored,
that appeared in the legendary 1978 movie, Grease. The Froghop-
per, a longtime favorite, is a guaranteed tummy tickler, taking
riders 25’ in the air and bounce dropping them like a frog. For a
real scream, hop on the full size Ferris wheel for some loopy fun.
Strap yourself in the Berry-Go-Round ride, turn the wheel and see
how fast and loud you can twist and shout. Get ready for lift-off on
the exciting Helicopter ride. In The Great Crab Grab, contestants
toss a ping-pong ball into a fishbowl –– accurate tossers win and
take home live hermit crabs, a cool critter companion! Jump for
joy on one-of-a-kind themed bouncers. Kids love their colorful
appearance and boundless excitement. The bouncers are forced-
air inflated with soft “pillow” flooring and walls for maximum
safety. There’s a Dr. Seuss-inspired Cat-In-The Hat bounce house
and then there’s Alcatraz, the most awesome inflatable obstacle
course ever! Two people start out in different cell blocks and then,
they race through as they try to see who will escape “The Rock”
first. Lots of climbing, squeeze throughs, tunnels and sliding as
the prisoners make their way to the final obstacle, running right
through the legs of the 20 foot tall security guard!
The cell blocks inside are made for photo opportunities. You can
take pictures of your “prisoners” through the bars before they try
their daring escape.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy Mobile Rock’s menacing 24-foot
Climbing Wall where trained climbing technicians will be available
to show you the ropes. The wall is color coded to assist climbers,
from the youngest to the most advanced, make it to the to the top.
Like a skyscraper towering above the crowd, for a real thrill, try
the 120’ Super Slide where you will get the ride of your lifetime
hurtling down the slippery slide in a burlap sack.
You and your friends will experience the adventure of a lifetime
on Y3k Simulators computerized thrill ride. It combines wind, sound
and outlandish motion, all synchronized to a breathtakingly large
movie screen.
Linda Vogel is the best face painter around. She uses a water-
based paint “that doesn’t stain”, offering dozens of unique face
painting designs. You can tell by the line that forms in front that
this is one popular booth.
“The People Painters” always delight the crowd with temporary
tattoos and airbrush face painting. Children love colorful hearts,
flowers, lizards and rainbows. Dare to be different with a lower
back tattoo or a temporary dragon!¡ ♦

the stage on Saturday will be “Sing A Song With Passion” –– a sing-

bring the end to the festival with their high-energy performance.
The “Streets Filled With Talent Community Stage” is located on
Broadway near Meadow Glen. Performance are scheduled from 12

 Millbrae Art & Wine Festival 7

Millbrae’s Totally Rockin’ Festival

E very Labor Day weekend downtown Millbrae is
transformed into one of the Bay Area’s hottest en-
tertainment venues during the city’s annual shindig ––
the Art & Wine Festival. The beat goes on at this year’s
festival, September 4-5, with a wide-ranging musical mix
––70’s disco, hip-hop, 80’s pop classics, Cuban timba
new-wave, country, folk, 90’s party music, R&B, soul,
funk, rock and roll, swing and jazz –– performed on stage
and street by nine big-name bands.
When The Cheeseballs get on stage, be ready to dance ‘til you drop.
These musical pros pride themselves on serving up a helping of non-
stop 70’s disco, 80’s pop classics, hip-hop, rock and current hits with
an uncanny knack for performing songs that everyone knows the
words to. The result is purely groovy, funky, danceable fun.
Lovefool is your quintessential 90’s party band. These six sea-
soned musicians spice up their act with fabulous costumers, crazy
on-stage antics, and your favorite 90’s tunes from Alanis Moris-
sette, Cake, the Foo Fighters, Green Day, House of Pain, Jane’s
addition, Smashing Pumpkins and much, much more.
The Eyewitness Blues Band delivers rock and roll on deadline.
Broadcast journalism may be their day job, but the night is devoted
to music. The group, a joint project of the rockin’ journalists at
CBS5 and KCBS All News 740, has shared the stage with acts like
the Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Pablo Cruise and even Bill Clinton.
Mix three dynamic lead vocalists, sweet vocal harmonies, a rock
solid rhythm section, and a couple blazing horns and what do you
have? Sonic Strut, a highly energetic and deeply funky eight piece
dance band that plays the best of R&B, soul, funk, disco, rock,

bicycles and car pools to minimize carbon emissions and reduce
vehicular traffic. Free round-trip shuttle service will be available
from the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station every twenty minutes,
dropping off and picking up riders at the south end of the festival
near the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Broadway.

of Commerce,” said Millbrae Mayor Paul Seto. “It fits in with our
efforts to create a sustainable community, will help to promote re-
cycling and will reduce the amount of garbage placed in landfills.”

“Commercial growers are turning
to birds as an alternative or supple-
ment to pesticides,” said Marion
Murray, an Integrated Pest
Management project leader with
Utah State University Cooperative
Extension. “But you have to have the
environment or habitat before invit-
ing them in.”
That means mimicking nature by
providing plenty of food, water and
cover. Put up some bluebird boxes or
nest boxes for raptors, said Marne
Titchenell, a wildlife specialist with
Ohio State University Extension.
“Monitor the bluebird boxes so
sparrows don’t take over,” she said.
“Brushier habitat provides protection
for insect-eating songbirds. Allow
the edges of your woodlot to grow up
a bit. Berry-producing shrubs are
excellent things to have around for
all kinds of wildlife.”
Birds occupy a unique place in
nature, according to the authors of a
timeless 1912 study, “Red Bird,
Green Bird: How Birds Help Us
Grow Healthy Gardens,” by Harry A.
Gossard and Scott G. Harry (Ohio
Many avian species earn their keep by eating insects and small mammals,and destroying weed seeds.
State University Extension, revised
edition 2009). “Each species per-
forms a service which no other can
so well accomplish,” the authors
said.
Raptors such as hawks and owls
chase down field mice, moles and
grasshoppers. Insectivores like blue-
birds, chickadees and woodpeckers
stalk beetles, worms and grubs.
Meadowlarks are ground feeders,
favoring meadows and farm fields
where they gorge on grasshoppers
and weevils. Robins focus on lawns
and gardens, where they pull up cut-
worms, wireworms and other larvae
injurious to crops.
Chickadees are birds of the forest,
eating tent caterpillars, bark beetles
and plant lice. Goldfinches prefer
open country where they can pursue
caterpillars and flies. “No other bird
destroys so many thistle seeds,” the
authors say.
“An individual tree swallow, barn
swallow, purple martin or chimney
swift can eat up to a thousand flying
insects a day,” said David Bonter,
assistant director of Citizen Science
with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
“They can have a big impact.”
While it’s great to have these spe-
cialized bug hunters around if you’re
a grain farmer, small commercial
farmer or orchard grower, recruiting
should be directed toward a variety
of species, said Margaret
Brittingham, a professor of wildlife
resources at Penn State University.
“All insect eaters feed at different
heights, on different plants and pre-
fer different insects,” she said.
“Having some (bird) diversity is
important in maintaining insect pop-
ulations. What we don’t want to
wind up with is having a monocul-
ture with birds as we frequently do
with plants, inviting problems.”

Some choose to remove pools rather than fix them

By Carole Feldman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mike Eckman’s backyard swimming pool

was “a good friend” for years, but with his
children now grown it was hardly being used.
And it needed costly repairs.
So he and his family decided to have it
removed, instead. “The pool served its life,”
said Eckman, of Bridgewater, N.J. He hired
All Pool Demolition in Midland Park, N.J., to
do the job. Owner John Panariello says people
often cite the same reasons as Eckman in
choosing to get rid of pools.
“They have to fix them and they’re very
expensive,” he said.
Having a backyard pool is one of those lux-
uries a lot of people dream of. But a growing
business exists in removing them. Besides the
cost of repairs and maintenance, people some-
times remove a pool out of concern that it
might be a turnoff to homebuyers. Some par-
ents with young children worry about safety.
Other homeowners want to reclaim their
backyards.
All told, there are about 5 million in-ground
residential pools in the United States, accord-
ing to Kirstin Pires, spokeswoman for the
Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. As
the housing market has declined, so has the
installation of new residential pools, by 58
percent last year and nearly 12 percent in
2008, Pires said.
There are no such statistics on pool
removal, she said, but anecdotally “it’s pretty
unusual.”
Nevertheless, Panariello has found demand
increasing for his pool removal services. He As the housing market has declined,so has the installation of new residential pools,by 58 percent last year and nearly 12 percent in 2008.

Home decor that wows Gift Fair previews decor trends

instead of whispering
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In its new spring collection, CB2 has a brilliant orange wool
area rug emblazoned with the phrase “Keep Calm and Carry On.”
The pre-World War II slogan was originally conceived to calm
anxious Brits, but this rug is more startling than soothing. And
it’s popular; the retailer sold out fast and had to re-order. Marta
Calle, director for CB2, says there’s lots of interest in decor
“that’s fresh and new, with great detailing. People want pieces
that say ’modern’ in an exciting and unique way.”
Some stores may still be playing it safe with inventory, but
many have clearly opted to go bold, and homeowners looking to
add a bit of wow to a room will find lots of options.
Let’s start with walls. The always-daring Tampa-based design-
er Given Campbell gives us a new collection of wallcoverings
inspired by several Catholic patron saints. For example, the paper
named for “St. Christopher,” the patron saint of travelers, is inter-
preted in a repeat of airplanes. A quirky yet wonderful troupe of
snails makes its way across the paper named “St. Francis,” after
the patron saint of animals. From feathers to fish scales, in soft-
er earth tones and wilder hues like fuchsia, lime and gold, these
wallcoverings hold surprises.
Campbell thinks her art’s appeal is simple: “Drama. Putting
bold wallpaper on even just one wall in a room of any size
instantly changes the feel of the entire room.”
She notes that with more shelter magazines featuring strong
pattern and color on the walls, people are more confident to try it
themselves. But she has a suggestion for neophytes: “Use a bold
pattern in neutral hues. White on white is especially good for
this, because it’s both dramatic and subtle. It’s like design train-
ing wheels.” Part of her sales go to St. Vincent de Paul charity.
Los Angeles-based Kreme Life has several fascinating wallpa-
per patterns too, including a chain motif that’s both chic and
edgy. Designer Cadee Wilder offers the option of buying an 18-
by-24-inch frameable version of any of her papers “for those
who either rent or feel apprehensive about installing wallpaper.”
She’ll print in custom colors, as will Campbell; inks used by both
designers are eco-friendly.

From the luxe to the loopy, the New
York International Gift Fair, held twice

stocked with the newest furnishings,
books, children’s goods, jewelry and

at rising prosperity is being lost, in part
because the U.S. is not doing enough to
encourage business.
“I think the American dream is too
hard for too many people,” she said.
She then took direct aim at Boxer, who
is seeking a third term in the Senate, say-
ing her long track record in Congress
consistently hurt job creation and did too
little to help the middle class.
“The results of her policies are devas-
tating for this state,” Fiorina said.
Boxer, a tenacious campaigner, fired
back. She criticized Fiorina for shipping
30,000 jobs overseas before being let go
as CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co.
She said Fiorina fights not for average
Americans, but for billionaires, million-
aires and companies that outsource jobs.
“I’m in the United States Senate
because I fight for the people, I fight for
the dream,” Boxer said, noting Fiorina’s
$21 million severance package after she
was let go. “I don’t think we need those
The senator has framed a vote for
Fiorina as a vote to return to Bush-era
economic policies that benefited the
wealthy but left middle-class Americans
facing high unemployment and home-
foreclosure rates.
The stakes are high for both candi-
dates in the debate.
Boxer has had narrow re-election vic-
tories in the past but faces potentially her
toughest challenge this year. She is run-
ning in an anti-incumbent environment
in which Republicans are highly moti-
vated and faces a female candidate for
the first time as a senator, throwing a
new dynamic into her campaign.
Fiorina has a 12-to-1 fundraising dis-
advantage to Boxer and needs to make a
favorable impression on voters who
mostly know her as the CEO who was
ousted from the iconic Silicon Valley
company. Because Republicans are less
than a third of registered voters in
California, she must find a way to appeal
to the 20 percent of voters who are inde-
pendent.
To do that, she has tried to stay
focused on the economy in the campaign
and during the debate, which was aired
live on radio and television stations
can use lights on weeknights until 8:30
The forum also touched on a number
of other topics, including abortion,
immigration, gay marriage and global
warming. Fiorina’s views on many
social and environmental issues are
more conservative than that of most
Californians.
For example, she would like to see
Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court deci-
sion that legalized abortion, overturned.
Fiorina also has said she supports
expanded offshore drilling despite the
oil spill in the Gulf.
On many of the contentious issues,
Fiorina said she would defer to the deci-
sion of California voters despite her per-
sonal views. She said she disagreed that
the will of the voters could be overturned
by a judge, referring to a recent federal
ruling against Proposition 8, the 2008
ballot initiative that banned gay mar-
riage in California.
“Whatever your views about gay mar-
riage, I think many of us would conclude
that when voters have such a clear deci-
sion, for that decision to be overturned
by a single judge seems perhaps not
appropriate,” said Fiorina, who favors
marriage between a man and a woman.

LIGHTS
Continued from page 1
porary nature of the lights exempts the
project from local regulations.
The town of Atherton’s building code
specifically bars illumination of an ath-
letic court.
Installing five temporary light towers
are planned for the upcoming season.
The district has approved a contract for
the lights, which should be delivered in
September and removed in March, and
also for work to improve electrical
hookups. With the lights going in short-
ly, the board also approved a policy for
using the lights.
In the year ahead, neighbors can
expect the lights and a public address
system to be used during four football
games starting at sunset until 10:30 p.m.
Soccer and lacrosse teams would each
be able to use the lights for six week-
night games from sunset to 8:30 p.m.
Lastly, school and youth sport practices
p.m. There was no limit to the number of
practices for which lights could be used.
Although no one spoke in opposition
last night, using the lights for more than
a limited number of games is the top
complaint for the neighbors — banded
together under the moniker Protect
Atherton’s Residential Character —
which is suing to stop installation.
Board Vice President Lorraine
Rumley added her conversations with
neighbors seemed to find that they were
not necessarily against the lights but did
want better communication should prob-
lems arise.
“Who would they go to if there were
complaints or problems? That’s what we
need to work on going forward, a point
person at the school to talk to in case
issues come up,” she said.
While the thrill of playing under lights
and accommodating the schedule of
working parents who want to support
their children has topped the original
reason for installing lights, last night’s
focus was on the new school hours.
Menlo-Atherton starts later this year, a
time to develop socially, emotionally,
students more sleep time and, in turn,
focus more in class. That means student
involved in sports and the teachers who
coach them get out of school later.
Without lights, coaches and parents
argued, students would miss more class
to make games.
M-A teachers and coaches Steven
Kryger and Paul Snow were particularly
focused on not losing student athletes
who, without lights, could be forced to
choose between a sport and class.
“It’s going to be hard to put girls on
the field when their parents aren’t in sup-
port,” said girls’ soccer coach Snow, who
added parents would likely want their
child to miss little class for a sport.
Kryger echoed those concerns.
“We also want to be good neighbors,”
he said. “We have complete confidence
that the district will minimize impact on
[the] day-to-day lives [of the neigh-
bors].”

Preparing students for school has been
a focus for education advocates for
years beginning in 2012.
Many legislators have tried to change
the kindergarten age requirements previ-
eschedule.

kindergarten funded with money that
would have gone toward his or her
kindergarten expenses.
This is good for kids on two fronts,”
Simitian said in prepared statement. “We
start kids when they’re ready to succeed
in school, and for younger children we
provide a ‘get ready’ year of instruction
as well.”
Preschool California President
Catherine Atkin, whose organization co-
sponsored the bill, described the biparti-
san support as a victory for the state’s
children.
“Transitional kindergarten is a critical
component of K-12 reform in the early
elementary years, building a bridge
between early learning and kindergarten
that will give our children additional
years. A 2008 RAND Corporation study
showed of those who would most bene-
fit from preschool, only 15 percent are in
high-quality programs which prepare
them for kindergarten.
A 2008 report by the Public Policy
Institute of California, which reviewed
14 recent rigorous studies on how
entrance age affects student outcomes in
the short and long term, suggested
increasing a child’s entry age would
likely boost the student’s achievements.
Several of these studies also suggest that
older students are less likely to be
retained or diagnosed with a learning
disability, while having a higher likeli-
hood of attending college and earning
higher wages.
If approved, the age requirement
changes would be phased in moving the
ously. Often the bills were defeated for
other reasons. This is the first time in
two decades such a measure made it to
the governor’s desk.
Former assemblyman Gene Mullin,
for example, proposed the same age
change in a 2007 bill that would have
also made kindergarten mandatory.
Current law doesn’t require students to
attend school until age 6, making
kindergarten optional. Opponents
argued there isn’t evidence that starting
children in school earlier will be benefi-
cial in the long run. Also, they argue the
requirement will be a financial burden to
parents opting for private school.
The bill never earned the support it
needed.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has until
Sept. 30 to sign the bill.

its report on an analysis of 2009 census
data.
The findings come amid bitter debate
over Arizona’s strict new immigration
law, which was passed earlier this year
but is on hold for now as it is challenged
in federal court. The Obama administra-
tion contends the state law usurps feder-
al authority and promotes racial profil-
ing, while Arizona leaders say states are
justified to step in if federal enforcement
falls substantially short.
The study released Wednesday esti-
grants lived in the U.S. in 2009. That
represents a decrease of roughly 1 mil-
lion, or 8 percent, from a peak of 12 mil-
lion in 2007.
The study puts the number of illegal
immigrants down to about where it was
in 2005. They still make up roughly 4
percent of the U.S. population.
The Homeland Security Department’s
own estimate of illegal immigrants is
slightly lower, at 10.8 million. The gov-
ernment uses a different census survey
that makes some year-to-year compar-
isons difficult.
An increase in unauthorized immi-
grants leaving the U.S., by deportation
or for economic reasons, may have
played a factor in the falling number.
Customs Enforcement has deported an
increasing number of illegal immigrants,
reaching a high last year of more than
389,000 people, according to govern-
ment figures.
States in the Southeast and Southwest
saw some of the biggest declines in the
number of illegal immigrants from 2008
to 2009, including Florida, Nevada and
Virginia. Arizona saw a decrease, but it
was too small to be statistically signifi-
cant.
It’s hard to figure out how much of the
decline to attribute to the bad economy
and how much to federal immigration
enforcement, said Jeffrey Passel, a sen-
ior demographer at Pew who co-wrote
the analysis.

Hamas leader rejects talks with Israel

By Diaa Hadid and Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The top Hamas
leader in the Gaza Strip rejected compromise
with Israel in a fiery speech Wednesday, a day
after gunmen killed four Israelis in a strong
reminder that the Islamic militant group can-
not be ignored in any Mideast deal.
President Barack Obama denounced the
West Bank ambush as he launched a two-day
summit marking the first Israeli-Palestinian
negotiations in nearly two years.
“The message should go out to Hamas and
everyone else who is taking credit for these
heinous crimes that this is not going to stop
us,” he said after greeting Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White
House.
Hamas has claimed responsibility for
Tuesday’s shootings, a vivid reminder that the
Iranian-backed group may be locked out of
the peace negotiations but remains a key play-
er in determining their outcome.
Late Wednesday, gunmen wounded two
Israelis in a drive-by shooting in the northern
West Bank, the military said. Assailants in a
car overtook an Israeli vehicle and opened
fire, seriously wounding an Israeli man. The
vehicle crashed, injuring a woman. There was
Official: Three bombs kill
no immediate claim of responsibility.
The method resembled the fatal shooting on
Tuesday in the southern part of the territory.
In an interview with AP Television News
just before the Wednesday shooting, Gaza
strongman Mahmoud Zahar indicated that
more attacks could be expected. “Our resist-
ance is continuous,” he said. “We have to con-
centrate on the West Bank in order to achieve
(its) liberation.”
Earlier, in an address to Hamas members,
Zahar said the movement would resist peace
efforts and criticized the Palestinian president
for joining the negotiations.
“Today marks the start of direct negotia-
tions between someone who has no right to
represent the Palestinian people and the brutal
occupier, to provide a cover for Judaizing
Jerusalem and stealing the land,” Zahar said.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has
been locked in a fierce rivalry with Hamas
since the group seized Gaza from his forces in
a violent takeover in 2007, leaving him only REUTERS

25 at Pakistan Shiite march
By Babar Dogar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAHORE, Pakistan — Three bombs ripped
through a Shiite Muslim religious procession
in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on
Wednesday, killing 25 people and wounding
about 150 others, officials said.
The explosions appeared to be the latest in
a string of attacks by Sunni extremists against
the minority Shiites they consider infidels.
Allied with al-Qaida and the Taliban, the
bombers are also seeking to destabilize
Pakistan’s U.S.-backed government.
peace talks Wednesday and told Israeli and
Palestinian leaders they faced a fleeting
chance to settle deep differences.
“This moment of opportunity may not soon
come again,” Obama said at the White House
before hosting Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas in the first face-
to-face peace talks in nearly two years. “They
cannot afford to let it slip away.”
said, with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton and special Mideast peace envoy
George Mitchell at his side. “Neither success
nor failure is inevitable. But this much we
know: If we do not make the attempt, then
failure is guaranteed. If both sides do not
commit to these talks in earnest, then long-
standing conflict will only continue to fester
and consume another generation, and this we
simply cannot allow.”
