NO END IN SIGHT FOR GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

After a struggle with medical
challenges that have taken a turn
for the better, San Carlos Charter
Learning Centers Christopher
Mahoney announced he is step-
ping down from the school.
Mahoney, age 44 and the cen-
ters director, announced his
departure last
week in a letter
to the commu-
nity. In March,
he received a
liver transplant
for the autoim-
mune liver dis-
ease primary
s c l e r o s i n g
c h o l a n g i t i s ,
known as PSC, which he was diag-
nosed with in 2003. Then, in
2007, he was diagnosed with gall-
bladder cancer with about a 5 per-
cent chance of survival.
As most of you know, the last
year has been a real personal chal-
lenge for my family and for me,
he wrote in the letter dated Sept.
27. While my recovery has
shown great progress, there con-
tinues to be more work to do. As
we are now at a point of natural
transition, it feels like the right
time for me to step aside so that
the school can continue to grow
and enhance its programs while I
focus on completing my recov-
ery.
Stacy Emory, director of curricu-
lum at the school, has been acting
as director since January when
Mahoney went out on medical
leave. Currently, the school is in
the hiring process to decide what
to do with Mahoneys role. She
was not surprised by his decision
to step down.
He had a lot of healing left to
do, she said. Hes super resilient
and very positive and looked at

Ohio capital city fights
rat problems with fliers
COLUMBUS, Ohio Without
money to bring back its rat-control
program, the health department for
Ohios capital city plans to map com-
plaints and spread iers educating resi-
dents about dealing with the rodents.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the
citys service line has received over 200
rat complaints involving rental proper-
ties this year, almost reaching the total
for last year. In August, Columbus also
started logging complaints from non-
rental properties, with more than a
dozen so far.
Some people hope Columbus Public
Health resurrects a rat-control pilot pro-
gram conducted a few years ago, but the
proposed 2014 budget doesnt include
money for that.
Virginia Tomolillo has trapped 22
rats in her yard this year. She blames a
neighbor who leaves dog food out-
doors, and she says city education
efforts might help.
Text mistakenly sent
to cop leads to arrest
SPARTA, N.J. Authorities say a
New Jersey man mistakenly sent a text
message to a police detective to set up a
drug sale and now faces charges.
Authorities say a detective received
the text message on his new cellphone
Friday night. The sender had said he had
a quarter pound of marijuana for sale and
wanted to meet at a pizza parlor.
Nicholas Delear Jr., of Sussex, met
later that night with an undercover
police ofcer but ed when he became
suspicious. Police soon stopped his
vehicle, but the 33-year-old Delear
refused to consent to his vehicle being
searched.
Authorities obtained a warrant after a
police dog detected drugs in the vehicle.
They found four plastic bags containing
marijuana and other paraphernalia.
Jewels on French mountain
may be from plane crash
PARIS AFrench mountain climber
stumbled upon a case of dozens of cut
jewels, worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars believed to be debris from
one of two Air India crashes decades
ago, police said.
Police commander Sylvain Merly of
Frances Savoie region said the experi-
enced Mont Blanc climber, who asked
to stay anonymous, found the box
marked Made in India while scaling
one of the peaks glaciers and turned it
in on Sept. 9. Authorities hope to nd
someone connected with its owner, who
is presumed to have been a passenger on
one of the two jets that crashed in 1950
or 1966.
Merly said Thursday the metal box,
slightly smaller than a shoe box, was
lled with small bags of loose jewels,
mostly emeralds and sapphires. Merly
said debris from the Air India crashes
regularly rises to the surface on Mont
Blanc.
Things come up from the glaciers,
Merly said. Theyre always moving.
Merly said the climbers decision to
turn over the box immediately means
that there are still honest people.
He could have kept them but he
chose to turn them in because he knew
they belonged to someone who proba-
bly perished, Merly said.
It wasnt immediately clear what
would happen to the jewels if nobody
claimed them.
Quack! Wisconsin bill
would legalize duck races
MADISON, Wis. AWisconsin law-
maker is introducing a bill, no pun
intended, that would legalize duck races.
Well, not real ducks but the plastic
ones with numbers on the bottom.
Nonprot organizations commonly
race the little plastic ducks as fundrais-
ers. Participants usually buy a rafe
ticket corresponding with a ducks num-
ber.
The rst to oat across the nish line
wins.
State Rep. Andre Jacque circulated a
proposal Thursday to legalize the races.
He says the village of Mishicot was
warned by the Wisconsin Department of
Justice that its annual rubber duck race
amounts to illegal gambling.

Economic development, utility rates and
collaboration were among concerns shared
by candidates running for the San Bruno
City Council during last nights forum at the
senior center moderated by the League of
Women Voters.
Councilmen Rico Medina and Ken Ibarra
are running for re-election with challengers
Andrew Mason and Marty Medina for two
seats on the City Council.
Utility rates
Candidates discussed lowering water and
sewer rates in San Bruno. Marty Medina was
concerned about increased service rates,
which he hopes to suspend. He noted that
this is his top priority.
We have to do things fundamentally dif-
ferently, said Marty Medina. We need to
use different materials.
In terms of collecting fees from those who
didnt play utility fees, Marty Medina sug-
gested adding it as a tax.
Putting a utility bill on a property tax bill
is unrealistic, Ibarra said.
Using PVC pipes are also
lower quality and should
not be considered an
option, he added.
Additionally, the key
to lowering rates is tech-
nology for decreasing
rates. Efficiencies can
help save a lot of costs,
Mason said. This is the
biggest issue for Mason.
I dont think raising
rates is the way to go,
Mason said. Youve got
to embrace technology
and train people in a new
way. The voters want
lower utilities or stop the
increases.
There have been huge
costs to upgrade utility
systems, Ibarra said.
We have an old system and we have to
take care of it, Ibarra said. We are not the
highest, we are not the lowest, we are in the
middle.
Collaboration
Further, candidates
talked about improving
the relationship between
the City Council and the
San Bruno Park School
District Board of
Trustees.
Creating a focus group
with someone from
industry to come in and
talk to public school edu-
cation students to learn
about real applications
would be a good idea,
Mason said. He is also
interested in more sci-
ence-focused programs.
Rico Medina said there
is collaboration between
the schools and the coun-
cil.
We do need to work hand in hand, Rico
Medina said. There are opportunities for
each one of us to be engaged and involved.

With less than a month left before
Election Day, six candidates vying for a
spot on the Redwood City Council took
turns last night sharing their views on top-
ics as wide ranging as the budget, public
safety and land use as they explained why
they are the best qualied person for the job.
Planning Commissioner Ernie Schmidt,
bail bonds business owner Corrin Rankin,
former councilwoman Diane Howard, com-
munity activist and property manager James
Lee Han and incumbent councilmen John
Seybert and Jeff Gee are running for three
seats. Councilman Jeff Ira is being termed
out.
All six presented their qualications and
positions at a forum sponsored by the
League of Women Voters held inside the
Redwood City Council chambers.
Rankin said public safety is my area of
expertise while Seybert prioritized a bal-
anced budget and the renaissance of
downtown. Howard emphasized her
accomplishments while on the council
previously, including the downtown reno-
vation and creation of a water recycling
program, and said the city needs to find
new revenue generators. Han said he is
motivated by affordable housing, having
had his mother pushed to Los Angeles by
Peninsula prices and himself challenged
to find a place with manageable rent.
Schmidt pointed to land use issues and Gee
highlighted a background in architecture
and work with agencies like SamTrans
that gives him insight into public transit.
All of the candidates lauded the idea of
partnering, whether it be for public safety,
child care or parks. Han suggested the city
also look at more immediate solutions like

Sale of San Juan properties finalized
Belmont nalized the sale of the 8-acre
city-owned Bishop Road property for a little
more than $2 million yesterday with an
arrangement to dedicate six of the acres back
to the city as open space that will be open to
the public.
The Belmont City Council authorized the
purchase of 87 vacant parcels, comprising
approximately 35 acres, back in December
2009.
The land was offered at auction by the U.S.
Marshals Service and was acquired by the city
for about $1.5 million.
This sale represents a signicant mile-
stone for the preservation of open space in
the San Juan Hills Area, said City Manager
Greg Scoles.
The new property owners, Shikui Chen and
Jie Yan, have indicated they will be moving
quickly to process a parcel map which will
then create three single-family residential
lots on 2 acres and the required open space
dedication, according to city staff.
The property can be seen at www.bish-
oproadland.com and
www.belmontland4sale.com. An aerial video
of the property can be viewed at www.bel-
montland4sale.com/videotour.html.
Police introduce
Spanish-language Facebook page
In an effort to provide useful information to
the citys Spanish-speaking residents, the
Redwood City Police Department has created
a Facebook page that will be conducted sole-
ly in Spanish.
Police Chief JR Gamez said social media
offers a game-changing resource in terms
of engaging with the Latino community.
By creating a presence on this social
media site, we are opening a new door of com-
munication with our Spanish-speaking resi-
dents, Gamez said.
The Facebook page, which can be accessed
a t
www.facebook.com/PoliciaDeRedwoodCity,
will provide the Latino community with
information related to personal safety, neigh-
borhood updates, gang and drug activity and
human-interest stories.
This year, the Redwood City Police
Department has tried to expand on its social
media strategies, including by using Twitter,
Facebook, video chat, YouTube and Flickr,
Capt. John Spicer said.
Video of hiker, masked man
has coastside residents fearful
A video of a female hiker on a Montara
Mountain trail juxtaposed with a shot of a
man wearing a ski mask has frightened view-
ers who came across it online, leading
Pacica police to investigate the videos ori-
gin.
Although it is not illegal to create a video
that is disturbing in nature as long as no
crime has taken place, police on Tuesday
identied and contacted the videos creator,
who was uncooperative, Pacica police Capt.
Daniel Steidle said.
The videographer, a man whose name has
not been released, would not tell police why
he made the video and said he caused the
woman in the video no harm, nor did he make
any contact with her, Steidle said.
The woman has not been identied and she
has not come forward.

Yesterday marked the dedication of San
Mateos new Fiesta Gardens International
School, one of three schools to complete
campus modernizations and upgrades fund-
ed by Measure L.
Beginning last Wednesday, three of the
ve San Mateo-Foster City School District
schools slated to undergo monumental
improvements at the behest of the 2008
majority-voter approved bond measure
have been dedicated.
Aceremony held on Sept. 25 at Baywood
Elementary School in San Mateo high-
lighted its new large group instruction
room and classroom buildings. Next
Wednesday, community and local support-
ers are invited to attend a dedication at
Foster City Elementary School. Foster
City School received numerous upgrades,
among them overall campus moderniza-
tions, new classrooms and eld and play-
ground restoration.
Measure L was approved in the amount of
$175 million to improve the overall quali-
ty and safety of the 15 elementary schools,
one K-8 school and four middle schools in
the San Mateo-Foster City School District.
Improvements include fencing and securi-
t y, paint, classroom additions, multi-pur-
pose and administration buildings, sod
fields, playground structures, plumbing,
electrical, technology and more.
Yesterdays dedication at the year-round
Spanish Immersion magnet school on
Bermuda Drive was held inside the schools
newly constructed multi-purpose room,
anked with blue and white balloons to
commemorate the celebration. Ahandful of
City Council members from San Mateo and
Foster City attended, as well members of
the district maintenance and facilities divi-
sions.
Fiesta Gardens Principal Varina
Williams, who worked as a teacher for nine
years at the school before taking the helm
two years ago, said that since the improve-
ments have been made to the school, the
students are enjoying a whole new and fresh
learning environment.
It has been an amazing experience, our
kids can learn in a whole new way with
more interactive technology, Williams
said. Since the erection of a new multi-pur-
pose room, a new computer lab has been
crafted in the schools old multi-purpose
room. The spacious, angular room now
holds 35 black desktop computers with
ample space for kids to learn.
Allison Rowland, whose third-grade son
Mateo attends Fiesta Gardens, said the old
space where the computer lab now sits
couldnt come close to accommodating the
schools 507 students for an assembly.
Now its wonderful, we love all of it,
she said. Rowland is particularly fond of
the upgraded systems inside the classroom
with its document cameras and sound sys-
tem for all students to see and hear the les-
sons.
Construction on the nearly 7-acre cam-
pus began in July 2011.

Ruth Pauline Swofford
Ruth Pauline Swofford, daughter of the
late John and Maggie Swofford, died in
Charlotte, N.C., Sept. 28
of natural causes.
She was 97.
Mrs. Swofford was
born Jan. 23, 1916 in
Avoca, Texas. She was
the youngest of six chil-
dren.
Although she took
great pride in being a
native Texan, Ruth always claimed that she
left her heart in San Francisco. Aresident of
Millbrae for 36 years, Ruth volunteered her
time to the Red Cross by driving an ambu-
lance and assisting in the transport of Bay
Area soldiers during World War II.
Ruth always had a lust for life and conta-
gious vivacity. Indeed, her desire to live
each day to its fullest and appreciate the
simple things was never abandoned during
her nal years. Ruths spontaneity resulted
in many fun memories with her family;
whether it involved late night ice cream
runs, (preferably Pistachio in a cake cone),
or taking a serendipitous last-minute road
trip to Disney World.
Mrs. Swofford is survived by her daugh-
ter, Kathleen Ramirez, son-in-law Gilbert,
three grandchildren Melissa and husband
Daniel Gladziszewski, Natalie and Elise and
two great-grandchildren, Reece and Megan.
She also leaves behind several nieces and
nephews.

The pressure is on for the federal govern-
ment and states running their own health
insurance exchanges to get the systems up
and running after overloaded websites and
jammed phone lines frustrated consumers
for a second day as they tried to sign up for
coverage using the new marketplaces.
In some ways, the delays that persisted
Wednesday were good news for President
Barack Obama and supporters of his signa-
ture domestic policy achievement because
the holdups showed what appeared to be
exceptionally high interest in the over-
hauled insurance system. But if the glitches
arent fixed quickly, they could dampen
enthusiasm for the law at the same time
Republicans are using it as a rallying cry to
keep most of the federal government closed.
It was worse today than it was yester-
day, Denise Rathman of Des Moines said
after she tried for a second day to log onto
the Iowa site.
Rathman has insurance through Dec. 31
but said she is eager to sign up for a policy
because of her psoriatic arthritis, which has
caused her to be denied insurance in the past.
David Berge, a pastor with two young
children in Shoreview, Minn., tried unsuc-
cessfully at least 10 times to create an
online account on the state-run site MNsure.
His high-deductible plan expires at the end
of the year.
Im anxious to see what the insurance is
going to look like for my family at the
beginning of the year, Berge said. Thats
a big unknown right now. I want to gure
that out as soon as possible so we can begin
planning.
In California, home to 15 percent of the
nations uninsured, officials pulled the
enrollment portion of the Covered
California site down overnight for emer-
gency upgrades. It was restored midmorning
Wednesday, and 7,770 people had started
applications by then, spokesman Roy
Kennedy said.
California is one of a handful of mostly
Democratic states that opted to set up their
own exchanges rather than let the federal
government do it for them. In the 36 states
being operated by the federal Department of
Health and Human Services, consumer
patience was still being tested.
Agency spokeswoman Joanne Peters said
many Americans successfully enrolled on
the rst day, but she declined to put a num-
ber on it. She said the delays were due to
overwhelming interest and high volume.

WASHINGTON U.S. lawmakers from
both parties have expressed a willing-
ness to give President Barack Obamas
outreach to Iran a chance to end to
Tehrans nuclear standoff with the West ,
but at the same time they are crafting
tough new U.S. economic sanctions to
further isolate the Islamic republic.
Obamas phone call last week to Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani was a ground-
breaking conversation. It was the rst con-
tact in more than 30 years between the lead-
ers of the two countries and an about-face
from when Obamas predecessor, George W.
Bush, included Iran in his axis of evil with
North Korea and Iraq.
Obama wants Rouhani to prove that hes
willing to curtail some of his countrys ura-
nium enrichment activity, which many
believe is being used to give Iran nuclear
weapons capability.
Rouhani said Wednesday in Tehran that
Iran is open to discussing details of its
nuclear activities to reach a deal with world
powers. He emphasized Tehrans longstand-
ing position that Iran has a fundamental
right to enrich uranium, a key ingredient of
nuclear weapons that Iran says it needs for
peaceful purposes.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama brought congres-
sional leaders to the White House
on Wednesday for the first time
since a partial government shut-
down began, but there was no
sign of progress toward ending an
impasse that has idled 800,000
federal workers and curbed servic-
es around the country.
Obama refuses to negotiate,
House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio., told reporters after private
talks that lasted more than an
hour. All were asking for here is
a discussion and fairness for the
American people under
Obamacare.
But Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid of Nevada said
moments later, Were locked in
tight on Obamacare and neither
the president nor Democrats will
accept changes in the nations 3-
year-old health care law as the
price for spending legislation
needed to end the two-day partial
shutdown.
With the nations ability to
borrow money soon to lapse,
Republicans and Democrats alike
said the shutdown could last for
two weeks or more, and soon
oblige a divided government to
grapple with both economy-
threatening issues at the same
time.
The White House said in a
statement after the meeting that
Obama had made it clear he is
not going to negotiate over the
need for Congress to act to
reopen the government or to
raise the debt limit to pay the
bills Congress has already
incurred.
It added, The president remains
hopeful that common sense will
prevail.
The high-level bickering at
microphones set up outside the
White House reflected the days
proceedings in the Capitol.
The Republican-controlled
House approved legislation to
reopen the nations parks and the
National Institutes of Health,
even though many Democrats
criticized them as part of a piece-
meal approach that fell far short
of what was needed. The bills face
dim prospects in the Senate, and
the White House threatened to
veto both in the unlikely event
they make it to Obamas desk.
What were trying to do is to
get the government open as
quickly as possible, said the
House majority leader, Rep. Eric
Cantor of Virginia. And all that
it would take is us realizing we
have a lot in agreement.

WASHINGTON National
Security Agency chief Gen.
Keith Alexander revealed
Wednesday that his spy agency
once tested whether it could track
Americans cellphone locations,
in addition to its practice of
sweeping broad information
about calls made.
Alexander and Director of
National Intelligence James
Clapper testified at a Senate
Judiciary Committee hearing on
proposed reforms to the NSAs
surveillance of phone and inter-
net usage around the world,
exposed in June by former NSA
analyst Edward Snowden. But
neither spy chief discussed pro-
posed reforms; instead they were
questioned about new potential
abuses that have come to light
since then.
Alexander denied a New York
Times report published Saturday
that said NSA searched social
networks of Americans search-
ing for foreign terror connec-
tions, and detailed 12 previously
revealed cases of abuse by NSA
employees who used the network
for unsanctioned missions like
spying on a spouse. He said all
employees were caught and most
were disciplined.
Alexander and Clapper also
told lawmakers that the govern-
ment shutdown that began
Tuesday over a budget impasse
is seriously damaging the intel-
ligence communitys ability to
guard against threats.
They said theyre keeping
counterterrorism staff at work as
well as those providing intelli-
gence to troops in Afghanistan,
but that some 70 percent of the
civilian workforce has been fur-
loughed. Any details on the jobs
held by the furloughed employ-
ees is classified.

TRIPOLI, Libya An armed mob broke
into the Russian Embassy compound in the
Libyan capital of Tripoli on Wednesday,
climbing over walls, breaking down a metal
gate and shooting in the air. One of the
attackers was killed by the random gunre,
and four more were wounded.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said none
of the embassy staff was wounded.
Libyan ofcials said they believed the
break-in was in response to the death of a
Libyan air force pilot, who they said was
killed by a Russian woman.
Wednesdays violence briey raised fears
of a repeat of last years deadly attack on a
U.S. compound in the eastern city of
Benghazi, in which the U.S. ambassador
and three other Americans were killed. In
that instance, on the anniversary of the
Sept. 11, 2001 terror attack, militants red
mortars at the consulate, surrounded it and
set it on re.
The Libyan official said Wednesdays
attackers took down the Russian ag that
was hanging from the balcony of one of the
buildings. But they did not enter the
embassy buildings, he said, speaking on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the media.
Russias Foreign Ministry Ministry
spokeswoman Maria Zakharova conrmed
the attack, saying on Ekho Moskvy radio
that according to preliminary information
no one among the embassy personnel was
wounded.
The attackers were apparently reacting to
the killing of a Libyan air force pilot
Tuesday. Libyan authorities arrested a
Russian woman and accused her of killing
him writing offensive grafti in his blood.
The woman also is accused of stabbing and
wounding the pilots mother.
Authorities said they did not know what
the womans motives might be, but noted
that in the graffiti on the walls, she
expressed sentiments against the Libyan
uprising that drove longtime leader
Moammar Gadhafi from power after an
eight-month civil war in 2011.
Libya has been hit by a months-long
wave of targeted killings against activists,
judges and security agents.
On Wednesday, gunmen in Benghazi shot
dead a naval ofcer and his 7-year-old son
before eeing the scene. Most killings are
presumed to be the work of armed factions,
often acting out of revenge.

BEIRUT Deadly clashes raged on the
edge of Damascus on Wednesday and rival
rebel factions battled each other in northern
Syria as international chemical weapons
inspectors began to secure the sites will
they will work.
The fighting underscored the immense
security challenge that the dozens of disar-
mament experts must negotiate as they
work amid the civil war to meet tight dead-
lines for eliminating President Bashar
Assads estimated 1,000-ton arsenal of
chemical weapons.
The inspectors mission endorsed by a
U.N. Security Council resolution passed last
week is to scrap Syrias capacity to man-
ufacture chemical weapons by Nov. 1 and
destroy its entire stockpile by mid-2014.
A convoy of SUVs with U.N. markings
departed the central Damascus hotel where
the team from the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is stay-
ing as the inspectors headed out for their
rst full day in the country.
The U.N. and OPCW said in a statement
that joint work with the Syrian authorities
has begun on securing the sites where the
team will operate, especially in outlying
areas. It added that planning continues for
disabling production facilities as do discus-
sions on the size of Syrias stockpile.
One of the challenges the inspectors face
is navigating the war itself.
On the northern edge of Damascus, erce
clashes between Syrian troops and al-
Qaida-linked ghters killed at least 19 sol-
diers and pro-government militiamen in the
past three days, according to the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights.
The ghting in the contested district of
Barzeh flared Monday when the army
stepped up attacks against opposition
forces who have been trying to capture the
area for months, the Observatory said.
Districts such as Barzeh, on the edge of
Damascus, are important for rebels based in
the capitals outer suburbs as the ghters try
to move closer to the heart of the city.
Weapons experts start Syria mission amid clashes
Troops deploy near
restive West Bank camp
JENIN, West Bank Ofcials say hun-
dreds of Palestinian troops have deployed in
the West Banks Jenin district, reinforcing
the security presence in the increasingly
restive former militant stronghold.
The troops, wearing helmets and riot
gear, rode in a convoy of cars into the main
Jenin security compound Wednesday. They
assembled in formation in a parking lot.
The town of Jenin and its adjacent refugee
camp were controlled by vigilante gunmen
several years ago, but were then targeted in
a law-and-order campaign by the
Palestinian self-rule government.
The level of unrest has risen in recent
months, in part after Israelis raided the area
to arrest suspected militants. Three
Palestinians died in raids that turned violent
in the past two months. After the last
killing, stone-throwing camp residents
attacked Palestinian government ofces in
the area.
Berlusconi weakened
by political about-face
MILAN Silvio Berlusconis failed
attempt to topple the Italian government
has left him weaker than ever, zapped of the
aura of invincibility that has surrounded
him for two decades as he faces the possible
loss of his Senate seat and a ban from poli-
tics.
Still, it is unlikely to be his last act.
The 77-year-old three-time former premier
staged one of Italys most stunning politi-
cal plot twists in memory on Wednesday
when he took the Senate oor at the last
minute to announce that he would, after all,
support Premier Enrico Lettas government
in a condence vote.
It was a face-saving measure that came
after key loyalists in Berlusconis center-
right party refused to follow his bid to col-
lapse the coalition government as fallout
over his tax-fraud conviction.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Long Beach Press-Telegram
I
ts not surprising that most
California voters want a do-over on
high-speed rail.
Fifty-two percent of respondents said the
bullet train project should be stopped,
according to a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles
Times poll conducted in mid-September and
released over the weekend. Of the 1,500
registered voters sampled, just 43 percent
wanted the project to continue.
If anything, its a bit surprising that 43
percent of voters still want the train to
move ahead. After all, the projected cost of
the project is now nearly twice what it was
when voters approved it. And that current
estimate might be quite low given that it
appears construction, which was supposed
to begin in 2012, will not start until some-
time next year unless a lawsuit delays it
further, piling on more costs.
Voters approved a 2008 ballot measure to
sell bonds to get the rail project rolling.
But according to the poll, 70 percent want
the project to appear on the ballot again to
give voters another chance to give it a
thumbs-up or thumbs-down. That gure is
rising fast, up from 55 percent in a similar
poll a year ago, as voters get a closer look
at the obstacles the bullet train faces.
ASacramento judge ruled in August that
the rail construction authority had violated
two aspects of the 2008 ballot measure. In
November there will be hearings on possi-
ble punishment for those violations. The
construction authority is still trying to buy
about 325 rural properties for the rst seg-
ment of track in the Central Valley
where ridership demand is highly question-
able.
The full, L.A.-to-Bay route is projected
to open in 2029.
Fifty-one percent of respondents termed
the project a waste of money, and 63 per-
cent said they would never or seldom take
the train. Fifty-eight percent of voters
would rather y (32 percent) or drive (26
percent) between Southern California and
the Bay Area even if a bullet train were
available, while 39 percent would rather
take the train.
Amusingly, if the Hyperloop high-
tech entrepreneur Elon Musks proposed,
somewhat fanciful tube transport concept
were available, 55 percent would take it
compared with 14 percent who would drive,
13 percent who would take the train and 13
percent who would y. But 65 percent
thought the Hyperloop was unrealistic.
But then, so is the bullet train at its pro-
jected cost, the way things are going.
Thanks to Jerry Hill
Editor,
Many thanks to state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, for taking the time last week to
have a Senior Scam Stopper Seminar at
the Veterans Memorial Center in Redwood
City.
I intended to only pick up some material
for a very dear friend of mine and who is
also a senior citizen. I was intrigued by the
speakers who were on hand to give advice
so I stayed. The most tech savvy senior has
no clue as to what kind of scams they could
be susceptible to. Arepresentative with the
California Public Utilities Commission
told of scams that even I could fall victim.
Apolice ofcer also spoke some of the
issues regarding elderly victims, and it is
frightening.
Thanks very much Sen. Hill for this, and
may I suggest another in the not-too-dis-
tant future. We need more of these.

7-Eleven must go
Editor,
By now I imagine you have heard about
the armed robbery at the 7-Eleven at 507 N.
San Mateo Drive early Friday morning
(12:45 a.m.) Sept. 27, 2013 (San Mateo
Drive 7-Eleven robbed at knifepoint in
the Sept. 28 edition of the Daily Journal).
Police reports on criminal activity asso-
ciated with 7-Eleven and other 24/7 stores
anticipated increased criminal activity. The
armed robbery conrmed their ndings. A
24/7 store has no place in a quiet neighbor-
hood. People who appreciate the conven-
ience of the store obviously would not
want it in their backyard.
Since the store opened, I have had no
peace of mind. My sleep is constantly
interrupted by late night deliveries, noisy
vehicles and conversations, store staff
smoking behind my place subjecting me to
their secondhand smoke. In addition, the
neighborhood has been inundated with
trash that can be directly linked to the
products sold in the 7-Eleven. The side-
walks are lthy with the remains of cus-
tomer-spilled Slurpees. The intersection of
San Mateo Drive and Bellevue Avenue has
become increasingly dangerous due to the
double-parked big rigs making deliveries
during rush hour trafc when youngsters are
walking to school.
I have lived here for 13 years, but I would
not buy today with the 7-Eleven next door.
There are plenty of commercial locations
on San Mateo Drive there is no need for
the corporation to ruin our neighborhood.
We never had these problems before. The 7-
Eleven is not good for our health, our peace
of mind or our property values. It must go.

Government shutdown
Editor,
So whos the traitor and saboteur now?
Originally Edward Snowden and Private
Manning were the poster kids. They got
labeled for telling us the truth about our
governments spying capers (The recording
and storing of any and all phone and text
messages by most all humans on planet
earth). They didnt damage the faith and
credit of the American state or bankrupt our
treasury, but that was then and this is now.
The fanatical Republican Party has made
yesterdays news for our homegrown truth
tellers. Rather than accept a health care bill
that they see as awed and unworkable,
they see t to simply pull the house
down literally. Rather than see the
Affordable Care Act as something to work
to repeal when the public might agree with
them at a future time, they think the We
have to destroy the village in order to save
it philosophy is the best way forward for
our nation. Interesting thinking.
So the truth tellers are bad Americans and
the valiant Republicans are patriots? We
need a new dictionary.

Sue Lemperts omission
Editor,
I am proud to be displaying a Robert
Ross for City Council sign on my front
lawn despite Ms. Lemperts seeming lack
of knowledge about his accomplishments
while serving on the San Mateo City
Council (Whats new about the November
election column in the Sept. 30 edition of
the Daily Journal). His adeptness in asking
insightful, sometimes pointed, always
thoughtful questions on behalf of the citi-
zens of San Mateo makes him supremely
qualied to continue to serve on the coun-
cil. In addition to gratitude, we owe our
votes to those who serve with honesty,
integrity and transparency: Mr. Ross, Mr.
Lim, and Mr. Hugg.

Shutdown
A
t least the last shutdown had
Monica. The presence of Ms.
Lewinsky amid the last federal gov-
ernment standoff spawned a legacy of legal
showdowns, quasi-celebrities, a new job
description for D.C. interns, late-night
jokes, purse designs, an introduction of
Walt Whitman to new generations and even
the ever-present Drudge Report website.
Arent we all so lucky?
The former president got an Oval Ofce
moment, Monica got a stained blue dress
and ever-lasting infamy, and history got a
hefty dose of scandal. And the American
public? Well, for several weeks it got
well lets just say like Clinton, albeit in a
more negative and metaphorical way
treated to a particular
intimate act.
Fast-forward 17 years

and Democrats are
stomping their feet
again, both proclaim-
ing that they just wont
play anymore, and the
public is again getting
the same carnal treat-
ment. And paying for
the privilege! Its not like these whiny
Congress members are digging into their
own pockets to cover the cost of closing up
shop and few will likely pay for the deci-
sion come election time. In fact, these elect-
ed politicians still get paid, even as staffers
and average Joe and Jane Q. Worker get fur-
loughed.
The irony is that for all the carping by
talking heads, chronic Facebookers and this
cranky scribe, the grand majority of us
arent really feeling the effects. Personally,
I was looking forward to more parking
because the newsroom is located in the same
building as Social Security. Unfortunately,
unlike the Environmental Protection
Agency where more than 93 percent of
employees are deemed non-essential,
Social Security is still open and space in the
communal lot remains a gamble.
Postal service is also still happening,
proving again that if neither snow nor sleet
nor rain nor the Internet nor the rising cost
of Forever stamps can kill delivery, neither
can dozens of grown men and women per-
turbed about not getting their way.
But hold on the shutdown is about to
get real. The panda cam has gone dark.
Forget NASAand national parks. Meat
inspection and passport renewals? No big
deal. The real victim of this congressional
bickering is the hundreds thousands or
millions, maybe? of people who have
been checking in with the National Zoo to
peek at the bundle of panda cuteness born in
August. How in the heck are they expected
to procrastinate at work or get a momentary
mood lift without a tiny, hairless creature to
coo at?
Closer to home, Fleet Week festivities
have been largely grounded.
Suddenly the masses who havent been
paying attention to the fact the Affordable
Care Act and Obamacare are not different
things let alone that it caused a government
shutdown are wising up to the idea that
something out of the ordinary is going on.
Sadly, though, using a government shut-
down or even just the threat of doing so
is really not so out of the ordinary.
Shutdowns and libusters are the new rage
in political maneuvering. Dont like a pro-
posed piece of legislation? Talk until youre
blue in the face and then talk some more.
Dont like a piece of legislation that was
passed? Turn your back, refuse to talk and
refuse to spend money.
And unlike the grand debacle of 1995-96,
this years version doesnt yet appear to
have any entertaining aspect worth remem-
bering 17 years in the future. Thats even
more reason to hope that unlike the
Clinton-era shutdown, this nonsense quick-
ly blows over.

NEW YORK Fear of a protracted
U.S. government shutdown is making
global investors increasingly nerv-
ous.
U.S. and European stock markets
fell Wednesday as investors and world
leaders worried about the threat to the
global economy. Europes top central
banker called the partial shutdown a
risk if protracted. Bostons Federal
Reserve Bank president cited the
budget battle as a reason the Fed
refused to pull back its economic stim-
ulus last month, and President Barack
Obama appeared on nancial network
CNBC to urge Congress to pass a
budget and avoid derailing the
nations economic recovery.
After shrugging off the rst day of
the shutdown Tuesday, Wall Street
made it clear on the second day that it
was more and more nervous that the
budget ght could turn into something
worse, a failure to raise the nations
borrowing limit.
Im not going out there and beating
my chest and saying the world is com-
ing to an end here, said Brad
McMillan, the Chief Investment
Ofcer at Commonwealth Financial,
an investment adviser. But we face
the possibility for significantly
greater disruptions.
The looming crisis has been grow-
ing for weeks. Republicans in the
House of Representatives are insist-
ing that Democrats negotiate over a
new health care law as part of the
budget talks. Senate Democrats, led
by Majority Leader Harry Reid of
Nevada, insist that Republicans pass a
straightforward temporary funding
bill with no strings attached.
The political gridlock could prevent
the U.S. government from borrowing
more money to cover its bills and pay
back creditors later this month. The
nancial market sees that as a disas-
trous move that could send the U.S.
into recession.
On Wednesday, the major indexes
opened sharply lower, as U.S. law-
makers appearing unwilling to yield
in their entrenched positions. After
Obama summoned Congressional
leaders to the White House later in the
morning, the market started to recoup
some of its losses, but the recovery
faded throughout the afternoon.
The markets are sending a loud
message to Washington lawmakers to
get their act together and resolve the
budget crisis, said Peter Cardillo,
chief market economist at Rockwell
Global Capital.
The Dow Jones industrial average
ended the day down 58.56 points, or
0.4 percent, at 15,133.14 points. The
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 1.13
points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,693.87.
The Nasdaq composite declined 2.96
points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,815.02.
Six of 10 industry sectors in the
S&P 500 fell. Declines were led by the
makers of consumer staples and indus-
trial companies.
Defense companies, which rely on
government contracts for a large part
of their revenue, led declines for
industrial companies. Raytheon fell
$1.73, or 2.2 percent, to $76.08.
Lockheed Martin dropped $2.42, or
1.9 percent, to $125.
Earlier, European Central Bank head
Mario Draghi said that the partial U.S.
government shutdown was a risk to
economic recoveries in the U.S. and
globally.
Chief executives from the nations
biggest financial firms met with
Obama for more than an hour
Wednesday. Referring to the potential
showdown over raising the govern-
ments borrowing limit, Lloyd
Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs,
said: We shouldnt use threats of
causing the U.S. to fail ... as a cudg-
el.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told
Congress that unless lawmakers act in
time, he will run out of money to pay
the nations bills by Oct. 17.
Congress must periodically raise the
limit on government borrowing to
keep U.S. funds owing, but the once-
routine matter has now become a bar-
gaining chip in battles over the feder-
al budget decit.
Stocks fall as fears of protracted shutdown grow
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE

SEATTLE Shares of electric car
company Tesla sank more than 6 per-
cent Wednesday after an Internet video
showed flames spewing from one of
the companys vehicles near Seattle.
Shares of Tesla Motors Inc. fell
$12.05 to $180.95 the stocks
biggest one-day decline since July
16.
The incident happened Tuesday after
8 a.m. as the driver was traveling
southbound on state Route 167
through Kent, said Trooper Chris
Webb of the Washington State Patrol.
The driver stated that he believed he
had struck some metal debris on the
freeway, so he exited the highway and
the vehicle became disabled.
The driver told authorities he began
to smell something burning and then
the vehicle caught fire. Firefighters
needed several attempts to extinguish
the flames because the blaze kept
reigniting, Webb said. Atrooper who
responded to the scene was unable to
locate any objects on the roadway, but
Department of Transportation work-
ers did observe some debris near the
scene.
Webb said there was too much dam-
age from the fire to see what damage
the debris may have caused.
The automobile site Jalopnik.com
posted photos of the blaze that it says
were taken by a reader, along with a
video. The video shows the front of
the Tesla Model S in flames.
In a statement issued Wednesday,
Tesla said the fire was caused by sub-
stantial damage to the car when the
driver hit a large metal object in the
road. The flames, the company said,
were contained to the front of the
$70,000 vehicle due to its design and
construction.
All indications are that the fire
never entered the interior cabin of the
car. It was extinguished on-site by the
Fire Department, the statement said.
Shares of Palo Alto-based Tesla
have risen more than 400 percent
since the start of the year. But
investors likely were alarmed, with
some selling their shares, out of fear
that the fire could be an indication of
a flaw in the companys battery
packs.
Tesla stock tumbles after Model S catches fire

SAN FRANCISCO Internet stocks
are heating up again, just as Twitter is
preparing to turn up the temperature
with its highly anticipated IPO.
Consider whats happened in the
past month: The once-scorned stocks
of Netix and Facebook have soared to
new highs; Yahoos long-languishing
stock has regained its vigor and sur-
passed $34 for the rst time in nearly
six years; enamored investors just
poured more than $1.7 billion into
secondary stock offerings by LinkedIn
and Pandora Media Inc.; and
Priceline.coms stock recently broke
$1,000, catapulting past its peak
reached in 1999 during the dot-com
boom.
There is great demand right now
to invest in companies that could be
powering the future, but its a win-
dow of opportunity that wont last
forever, says BGC Financial ana-
lyst Colin Gillis.
As hot as some Internet stocks are,
the fervor is nothing like it was in the
late 1990s when investors minted
dozens of unprotable companies with
rich market values.
The difference is that investors
today are investing on value rather
than on emotion and hype, as was the
case in 1998 to 2000, says Jeff
Corbin, CEO of investor relations
consultant KCSA Strategic
Communications.

Oracle defends CEOs
pay amid shareholder unrest
SAN FRANCISCO Oracle is facing a potential share-
holder revolt against a compensation formula that has
consistently made its billionaire co-founder, Larry
Ellison, one of the best-paid CEOs in the world.
The business software maker staunchly defended
Ellisons pay in a letter sent to shareholder activist rm
CtWInvestment Group in an effort to rally support for its
board of directors before the 11 members stand for re-elec-
tion at Oracles annual meeting on Oct. 31.
The letter released in a Wednesday regulatory ling came
in response to a scathing attack that CtW launched last
week against the compensation that Ellison has been
receiving from the Redwood Shores company for years.
CtW doesnt own any Oracle shares directly, but the
Washington D.C. group is paid to ght for shareholder
causes. It is vowing to organize the pension funds of labor
groups that are stockholders unless the company changes
its ways. Oracles letter gave no indication that the com-
pany is going to relent, setting the stage for an attempt to
oust at least three of Oracles directors at the annual meet-
i ng.
S.F. supervisors back flexible work law
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco legislation requir-
ing businesses to consider requests for exible work
schedules from employees who serve as caregivers
appears set to become law.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously backed the bill
on Tuesday, and Mayor Ed Lee has indicated he will sign
it.Under the law, workers would be able to ask their
employers to allow them to telecommute, adjust their start
times or job share in order to care for children, parents or
other family members.

OAKLAND Brett Anderson could hardly
be happier about returning to the postseason,
even if its in a much different role than hes
accustomed to with the Oakland Athletics.
Nearly a year after starting Game 3 of the
2012 division series, and six months after
getting the ball on opening day, Anderson
will be in the bullpen when Oakland hosts the
Detroit Tigers in the AL playoffs beginning
Friday.
I have to be ready from
the rst pitch to the last
out, Anderson said fol-
lowing the As workout
Wednesday. I could be in
any situation. My stuff
kind of plays anywhere, so
its being open to those
roles and trying to help
the team win.
Its not a brand-new job
for Anderson.
The left-hander has been pitching in relief
for the AL West champions since returning
from the disabled list in late August after miss-
ing more than four months with a sprained
ankle and stress fracture in his right foot.
His numbers as a reliever are actually better
than they were as a starter.
In ve starts, Anderson went 1-4 with a 7.23
ERA. As a reliever, he had three saves and 22
strikeouts over 21 innings with a 4.71 ERA.
With the As hoping to make a deep run in
the postseason, Anderson is content taking
another shot at a World Series ring no matter
what his role.
Starting is what Ive done pretty much up
until this point but now its, where is the
need? Anderson said. Egos go out of the
window in the postseason.
That was the type of response As manager
Bob Melvin was hoping for after leaving
Andersons name off the list when he
announced Oaklands starting rotation for the
best-of-ve series with the Tigers.

It was only appropriate the Hillsdale-
Carlmont girls tennis match was decided by
one point.
After all, the two teams entered the con-
test with identical 5-0 records in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division play.
And after nearly two hours of play, it was
Hillsdale that pulled out a slim 4-3 victory
over Carlmont, relying on the formula the
Knights have used to get to this point in the
season: sweep the four singles matches.
While most of the match went to form
the Knights won the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 singles
matches, while the Scots swept the three
doubles matches the nal match on the
court was No. 1 singles, that saw
Carlmonts Cori Sidel push Hillsdales
Cindy Liu to the brink. Liu, who had not
been tested all season, dropped her rst set
of PAL play this season, but rallied to win
the nal two sets to pull out a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2
victory.
Cori played really well, Liu said. I was
proud I was able to get through it, even
though I wasnt playing my best.
Sidel came out swinging and, before you
knew it, she was up 5-0 in the rst set. Liu
won two straight games, but Sidel closed out
the set when Liu dumped a shot into the net.
It was hard (for me) to get started and
[Sidel] started off aggressively, Liu said. I
noticed in the second set she started to
tighten up and started missing more (shots)
and that gave me condence.
The two stayed on serve through the rst
three games of the second set, before Liu
broke Sidel to go up 3-1. Liu eventually
built a 4-1 lead, but Sidel battled back and
closed to 5-4.
Line judges were called before the 10th
game after a couple of close calls were ques-
tioned. With Sidel serving to stay in the set,
the two battled to 40-all. Sidel served to Liu
and, during the rally, Liu hit a volley that
was close to the line. No one called the ball
in or out and the line judges were not asked.
Point and set to Liu to force a deciding
third set.
Knights stay unbeaten

Hillsdales Cindy Liu hits a return on the run during her 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Carlmonts Cori
Sidel to give the Knights a 4-3 win over the Scots.The win keeps Hillsdale undefeated in PAL

CLEVELAND The Tampa Bay Rays road
show rolls on. Next stop: Boston.
Alex Cobb dodged trouble for nearly seven
innings and the Rays pitched their way to
another must-have win on the road, beating
the Cleveland Indians 4-0 Wednesday night in
the ALwild-card game.
Cobb, who missed a chunk of the regular
season after he was hit in the head by a line
drive, quieted a thundering Cleveland crowd
and ended the Indians unexpected season.
Delmon Young homered in the third inning
off rookie Danny Salazar as the Rays, playing
in their third city over four days, advanced to
face the ALEast champion Red Sox in the divi-
sion series starting Friday.
Cobbs comeback in August from his fright-
ening injury helped stabilize the Rays, who
have spent the past two weeks winning crucial
games to make the postseason for the fourth
time in six years.
Cobb pitched out of massive jams in the
fourth and fth, and allowed two runners to
reach in the seventh before turning it over to
Tampa Bays dependable bullpen.
Joel Peralta struck out Nick Swisher on
three pitches, ending Clevelands last real
chance.
Fernando Rodney worked a perfect ninth,
striking out Lonnie Chisenhall to end it.
Rodney dropped to one knee and pointed sky-
ward and soon was mobbed by all the Rays,
who may be a little homesick but are Boston-
bound.
Unfazed by a raucous, red-clad, towel-wav-
ing crowd of 43,579 that roared like a jet

his is for all those high school

lege? How many of you have taken steps
to do so?
Aha. Theres the catch. Unless you are
one of those players who receive nation-
al attention, chances are colleges and
universities around the country dont

the most part, you need to let college
coaches know about
you.

such-and-such uni-
versity? The reality
is, its not that sim-
ple.
There are certain
things high school
athletes need to do to
grab the attention of college coaches, the
biggest of which is making sure your
name is out there. Many athletes and
their parents simply dont know how the
recruiting process works.
One football coach I talked to said one
November, which is usually the rst big
signing day for high school athletes to
ofcially choose their college, one of his
top players came to him and asked if any
colleges had sent over a letter-of-intent
for this player to sign. The coach had to
let this particular player know it didnt
quite work that way.
Luckily, there are a number of compa-
nies out there that can help athletes with
the recruiting process. Terra Nova wide
receiver Jaylend Jones is one who has
decided to help increase his chances of
recruitment by signing up with one of
these services.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders got one of their two
biggest offensive playmakers back at practice.
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor returned to practice Wednesday
and was working with the rst team after missing last
weeks game with a concussion, while running back Darren
McFadden is still sidelined by a hamstring injury that pre-
vented him from nishing last weeks game.
The Raiders had hoped Pryor would play last Sunday
against Washington but decided to hold
him out after he complained of sensitiv-
ity to light Saturday night a classic
concussion symptom.
Pryor is once again symptom free and
appears on target to resume his starting
role when the Raiders (1-3) host San
Diego (2-2) on Sunday night.
He plans to be the same player he was
before the injury, not worried about tak-
ing another hard hit like the one Wesley
Woodyard delivered on Sept. 23 in Denver that led to the
concussion.
I just try to make the right decisions and the smart deci-
sions and be a smart person and player, Pryor said.
Obviously, if theres three guys coming cramming down
on me I dont want to challenge all three of those guys so
get down. Just be myself and play football. Thats how I
have to play.
It will be a much-welcomed return after Raiders fans
booed backup Matt Flynn repeatedly while watching the
offense stagnate in a 24-14 loss to Washington.
Flynn, who was expected to start before losing the job in
the exhibition season to Pryor, showed little pocket aware-
ness. He threw an interception that was returned for a
touchdown and took seven sacks, while leading just one
scoring drive.
That performance helped drop Flynn to third-team status
behind undrafted rookie Matt McGloin, a fast fall after
Oakland traded two draft picks to acquire Flynn and gave
him $6.5 million in guaranteed money.
It hasnt worked out like we anticipated and weve got to
make decisions and weve got to move forward and contin-
ue to go, coach Dennis Allen said. Matts going to con-
tinue to battle and scratch and claw and I still believe that
hes a capable quarterback.
Pryor had helped obscure many of Oaklands problems
on offense with his athleticism that has allowed him to
turn broken plays into big ones.
Pryor completed 65.4 percent of his passes the rst three
weeks for 624 yards and two touchdowns. He has also
rushed for 198 yards on 26 carries and has not turned the
ball over since throwing two interceptions in an opening
week loss to Indianapolis.
If you start trying to limit the things that he does, I
think you decrease his effectiveness, Allen said. You
have to let him be the quarterback that he is and let him
make plays.
McFadden initially got hurt in the rst quarter of the loss
to the Redskins and tried to come back later in the rst half
before shutting it down for the game. McFadden leads the
Raiders with 215 yards rushing but has been hampered by a
variety of injuries for his entire career.
McFadden has missed 23 full games over his rst ve
seasons because of injuries. While Allen said it is too early
to know whether McFadden will miss this game, ham-
strings are tricky injuries for running backs and the Raiders
will likely be cautious.
No real updates, nothing really to report, Allen said.
Hes got a hamstring, and hes trying to rehab it and get
out there as fast as he can.
Marcel Reece was back at practice after hurting his knee
in Sundays loss and got some time at halfback instead of
his usual fullback position. Reece started four games at
halfback last season because of injuries, rushing for 261
yards and catching 20 passes for 195 yards. Reece has only
two carries and six catches this season.
Rashad Jennings ran for 45 yards and caught eight pass-
es for 71 yards with Reece and McFadden both sidelined in
the second half last week.
NOTES: C Stefen Wisniewski (right knee) did not prac-
tice but the Raiders are hopeful he will play. ... WR Andre
Holmes practiced for the rst time after his PED suspen-
sion. ... FS Charles Woodson (non-injury) and DT Stacy
McGee (shoulder) also did not practice. ... OL Menelik
Watson returned to practice for the rst time since knee sur-
gery. ... The Raiders signed RB George Winn to the prac-
tice squad.

Ofcial: Service academy games will go on
U.S. military academy football teams will play this week-
end, despite the government shutdown.
A senior defense ofcial said Wednesday the decision
affects this weekends games only, and future games will be
evaluated as events unfold.
The ofcial was not authorized to discuss the matter pub-
licly so spoke on condition of anonymity.
Armys game at Boston College, and Air Forces game at
Navy in Annapolis, Md., on Saturday were in jeopardy after
the Defense Department temporarily suspended sports com-
petition at the service academies as a result of the budget
impasse in Congress.
The teams will be allowed to play because the games are
paid for with non-appropriated funds, and have been long
planned. Non-appropriated funds generally come from out-
side sources and are not approved through Congress.
A phone message left with Navy athletic director Chet
Gladchuk was not immediately returned, along with email
messages left with spokesmen for Army and Air Force.
Earlier in the day, Gladchuk said he was optimistic the
Pentagon would allow the games to be played.
He said the athletic department has provided information
to Pentagon ofcials to assure them that no government
funds will be spent on any aspect of the game. Gladchuk
said a Navy home game brings in about $4 million from
tickets, sponsorship, television and radio rights fees and
other revenues such as parking and concessions. The game
essentially pays for itself, he said.
Football revenue also funds Navys 32 other sports
teams.
It would be devastating to our budget, Gladchuk said
about having a home game canceled.
The coaches and players involved were still preparing for
the games to be played.
I wouldnt say theyre oblivious, but they are practicing
and trying to maintain that laser focus, Gladchuk said.
Boston College coach Steve Addazio said: In my mind,
we are playing on Saturday. Its just how I feel.

SANTACLARA Meet Mr. Hitner.
Called by that name for years out of
respect for his hard-hitting defense, San
Francisco safety Donte Whitner has led
paperwork in Ohio through his lawyer to
formally change his name by removing the
W after receiving permission from his
mother, Deborah, to do so.
My last name was Whitner, now its
Hitner, Whitner said Wednesday. Yeah,
its legal, Im taking the W off. I asked my
mom rst, though. She said no in the sum-
mer, then she said yes three nights ago. Its
pretty cool.
Whitner has been in touch with Nike to
determine how many No. 31 Whitner jer-
seys are still for sale in retail stores and
elsewhere and whether he might need to
nancially contribute to make the switch.
He doesnt seem overly concerned about
that small part of the process.
Depending how many there are, he said.
I havent really seen that many around
Candlestick, unless somebodys hiding
them.
The $27 fee for legally changing his
name is money well spent, Whitner said.
His uncle, Mario Whitner, helped encour-
age Whitners mother
Marios sister to go
along with the switch.
The only person I real-
ly take instruction from
is my mom. Thats why
Im happy this week she
said yes. I asked her
again, Whitner said.
My uncle just came
home and he pretty much
convinced her. He was a guy that was there
for me when I was a little, little boy and
went away for a while, to prison.
While he would love to debut his new
name for Sunday nights prime-time game at
home in Candlestick Park against the
Houston Texans, he said it realistically
would probably take another week before
his new name is on the back of his uniform.
That would be Oct. 13 at Arizona.
Coach Jim Harbaugh learned of Whitners
plans Wednesday, then approached him in
the locker room with encouraging words:
Its kind of catchy.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick also
approved, offering a good change with a
thumbs-up of support.
Is he taking a cue or two from Chad
Johnson who became Chad Ochocinco
for a time or NBA star Ron Artests
change to Metta World Peace?
That was a lot, Whitner said of World
Peace. I think one word is not as big as 10
words. Its what I do. Its my last name.
Removing a letter makes it pretty cool.
No matter what it says on the back of the
safetys jersey Sunday, everybody on the
defense has one name they want on the eld:
Willis.
Linebacker Patrick Willis missed last
Thursday nights 35-11 victory at St. Louis
with a strained groin sustained against the
Colts on Sept. 22, an injury even the All-
Pro thought was far worse than it is.
Defensive teammate Justin Smith deemed
Willis a go for Sunday, and he returned to
practice Wednesday.
Hes playing, so denitely, Smith said
when asked about Willis impact.
Willis is encouraged with his progress
considering this is an injury he has never
had before. Yet he insists he wont play
unless he knows he is healthy enough to
help the team and he is still dealing with
some pain.
The only thing I can do is have the right
mindset, Willis said. The biggest thing
right now is making sure I stay on pace and
dont do too much and at the same make sure
that if Im going to be out there I can help
my teammates and help us win.
The 49ers have no imminent updates or
announcements planned on the status of
linebacker Aldon Smith, who entered an in-
patient rehab facility last week for sub-
stance abuse. He is on an indenite leave of
absence and the team doesnt comment on
personal matters.
Also Wednesday, San Francisco signed
quarterback John Skelton to a one-year con-
tract, giving them a strong-armed third-
stringer.
Skelton signed a day after the Niners
waived rookie B.J. Daniels, whom
Harbaugh had hoped could still be a practice
squad option before the rival Seahawks
snatched him up off waivers. Skelton was
cut by the Bengals on Aug. 31 when they set
their 53-man roster. Cincinnati claimed
Skelton off waivers when the Arizona
Cardinals the 49ers NFC West foe let
him go in April.
Skelton worked out for the team last
month.
He had an excellent workout when he was
here a few weeks back, one of the better
workouts Ive seen from a quarterback in
those workout environments, Harbaugh
said. Felt like we wanted to have two veter-
an quarterbacks, two guys that have started
games, played in games, won games. Felt
thats what we needed to do at this time.

Seattle claims former 49ers
QB B.J. Daniels off waivers
RENTON, Wash. The Seattle Seahawks
have added a third quarterback to their roster
by claiming B.J. Daniels off waivers from
San Francisco.
Seattle made the roster move Wednesday.
The Seahawks released rookie linebacker
John Lotulelei to clear a spot on the 53-man
roster for Daniels.
The 49ers waived Daniels on Tuesday after
they decided to sign John Skelton. San
Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said he was
hoping to re-sign Daniels to the practice
squad and the 49ers had plans for develop-
ing Daniels, but the Seahawks swooped in
and signed him rst.
Daniels did not appear in a regular season
game. He was a seventh-round pick in the
April draft by the 49ers.
Jets coach says no to color
codes for struggling Smith
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Rex Ryan put
the red light on a color-coded system to
help Geno Smith.
Afew hours after saying the New York Jets
are considering using a wristband with
plays designated by color red, yellow and
green the coach said in a radio interview
Wednesday he doesnt plan on doing it now.
The Jets, trying to help cut down on
turnovers in games, used the same method
during Mark Sanchezs rookie season in
2009 to help him determine how aggressive
he can be on a given play.
During his news conference, Ryan said
the team hadnt planned anything specic
to aid Smith just yet, but added that using
the color-coded wristband was a possibility.
He later told ESPN NY98.7 that he changed
his mind.

will start Game 3, while Anderson could conceivably pitch in
all three.
He wanted to contribute, and he knew that was probably
going to be his best option, Melvin said. He is that one guy
where theres no set role for him. He can pitch a couple innings
for us, he can match up against a lefty. It allows him to be ready
for whatever role we use him in.
It hasnt always been an easy adjustment for Anderson to
make.
As a starter, he prepared himself to pitch every ve days. As
a reliever, he has to be ready to go at any given moment.
Its more of like an everyday players mentality, Anderson
said. As a starter you get three or four days to think about it
good, bad or otherwise. As a bullpen guy, especially with the
role that Im in, I could be there in the second inning, I could
be there in the sixth inning or I could be there in the eighth
inning.
Melvin has been very methodical and regimented about how
hes used his relievers when trying to protect a lead. Sean
Doolittle and Ryan Cook have excelled as setup men for clos-
er Grant Balfour, who had a career-high 38 saves during the
regular season.
That trio worked very well for Oakland and was a key factor
in the teams ability to win the AL West for a second straight
season.

ATHLETICS
By Dave Skretta
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The pocket was breaking down
and Alex Smith was running out of time, so he did what so
few quarterbacks in Kansas City have ever been able to do
over the years.
Smith took off and picked up a rst down with his feet.
He didnt throw a ball into an impossibly tight space, or
tempt double coverage and get picked off. He didnt stum-
ble around as his offensive line caved in around him, or
get chased around by a couple of New York Giants before
nally succumbing to a sack.
Instead, Smith remained unappable
under pressure, exuding the kind of
poise that infects an entire offense.
More than once he scrambled for rst
downs last Sunday, giving the Chiefs
the spark they needed for a 31-7 victo-
ry and their rst 4-0 start in a decade.
He seems to handle everything well,
and kind of keeps a calm among the
chaos, said Chiefs coach Andy Reid,
who has said repeatedly he tried to trade
for Smith when Reid was still with the Eagles. Hes able
to keep it all in perspective. He demands a lot of the guys
around him in his own way. Thats important. He does that
well.
At some point in time, calling a quarterback a game
manager became a derogatory description. Guys who
throw safe passes, refuse to test sticky-ngered defensive
backs, and make sure their teams are put in good positions
became blase. By contrast, those willing to ing the ball
all over the eld with an all-or-nothing mentality grew in
popularity.
Smith has always taken the cerebral approach, though.
He prides himself on not making mistakes often to the
chagrin of fans whod rather seem him throw it downeld.
The most important thing in football is controlling
the ball, time of possession, Chiefs tight end Kevin
Brock said. Guys who control the clock, dont turn the
ball over, theyre the successful guys. If they want to say
thats what he does for us, Ill take it any day.
Smith has thrown only 22 interceptions since the 2010
season, the fewest of any quarterback with at least 1,000
pass attempts. The Patriots Tom Brady is next with 26
interceptions.
His streak of 160 pass attempts without a pick ended
when he threw two last Sunday against the Giants. Even
then, only one of them was a badly thrown pass.
Indeed, Smith is a big reason the Chiefs are tied with the
Tennessee Titans, their opponent on Sunday, for the NFLs
best turnover margin.
For me, Im just making my reads and throwing the ball
where its supposed to go, Smith offered by way of expla-
nation. Just where the defense is telling me.
Often, the defense has been telling him to run.
Smith has run the zone-read several times this season,
but mostly hes been scrambling when the pressure threat-
ens him. But the result has been the same: Hes on pace to
run for more than 600 yards, which would easily be a
career high.
I think its something that can help us at times, some-
thing I take pride in, he said. If theyre going to give me
that, I have to make plays with my legs, make them pay.
When it is there, take advantage of it, for sure.
Smith is also on pace to throw for 3,828 yards and 28
touchdowns; both would be career highs. And in what must
feel especially gratifying, hes thrown for more yards and
TDs with fewer interceptions than Colin Kaepernick, the
quarterback who took his job in San Francisco.
More importantly, he has the Chiefs at 4-0. The 49ers
are 2-2.
He took us to the NFC championship when I was with
the Niners. People doubted him, but I always knew what
type of quarterback he was, said Titans tight end Delanie
Walker. He knows how to win games. Hes doing a great
job over there doing that.

WHATS ON TAP
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh police
didnt dispute Twitter claims by the
wife of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mat
Latos that she was punched and had
her hair pulled by a fan during the
National League wild-card game, but
said they consider the matter closed
and wont le criminal charges.
Sgt. John Fisher, who headed the
18-ofcer contingent that augmented
stadium security on Tuesday, told
reporters the incident was much ado
about nothing. What made it big was
it involved a pitchers wife and it all
went on Twitter.
At a news conference Wednesday,
Fisher told reporters that stadium
security called police to break up an
argument involving 20 to 30
Cincinnati and Pirates fans at the
Budweiser Bowtie Bar inside PNC
Park during the Pirates 6-2 win
Tuesday night.
Police didnt see Dallas Latos being
attacked but interviewed her afterward
when a stadium security worker told
ofcers of her claims, which she later
tweeted. Latos didnt have visible
injuries and refused medical treatment
when she was interviewed by police,
Fisher said.
Latos tweeted she was punched in
the head at least three times by a
Pirates fan and her hair was pulled,
writing Im ne but my head hurts.
Never swung back bc I was trying to
protect myself.
Latos was not among seven fans
ejected by police, though two females
with Latos were tossed as were ve
Pirates fans, including the woman
who allegedly attacked Latos. Police
know the womans name and gave it
to Latos so she can press charges if
she wants, but arent releasing the
name because the woman wasnt
arrested, Fisher said.
Fisher said Latos can le a private
criminal complaint, which must be
vetted by a county prosecutor. Under
Pennsylvania law, police cant arrest
people for ghts that warrant only
misdemeanor charges like simple
assault or summary citations, which
are similar to trafc tickets, for
offenses like harassment, Fisher said.
In such instances, police either le
charges and send the accused a court
summons or, as was done in this case,
let the parties le private complaints.
The argument involved overzeal-
ous fans and banter back and forth
between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
fans, Fisher said, adding all partici-
pants appeared to be drinking and
intoxicated to one level or another.
Latos had been sitting in an area
reserved for visiting players wives
and families, which was guarded by
stadium security, before some of her
group went to the bar about 10 seat-
ing sections away where they werent
shielded from the general public,
Fisher said.
Police wouldnt say whether the
other ejected Cincinnati fans were
also wives or otherwise related to
players.
On Twitter, Latos claimed that a
Pirates fan insulted another Reds
players grandmother and called Latos
a name when she asked him to stop.
Latos contends the mans female
companion then punched her and
pulled her hair.
Reds spokesman Rob Butcher said
the team has no comment except to
say it contacted the Pirates about the
incident. Pirates spokesman Brian
Warecki said fan safety is a top pri-
ority for the team. He said the disrup-
tion was turned over to police after
stadium security workers attempts
to calm the situation and eject mem-
bers of the unruly parties were met
with escalating profanity and
threats.
Latos tweeted Wednesday suggest-
ing she was suffering a backlash for
complaining.
The fact that our society con-
demns victims is disgusting, she
wrote. I have nothing to gain from
telling my story besides a bunch of
hate so save it.
Police: No charges
in fight involving
Reds pitchers wife
Expert: Mark Cuban not
barred from selling shares
DALLAS A nancial expert is
telling jurors in Mark Cubans
insider-trading trial that he talked to
the billionaire about a transaction
that would lower the value of one of
his stock holdings.
Arnold Owen testied Wednesday
that he didnt think Cuban was
barred from selling his shares in
Momma.com or required to keep
their 2004 phone call condential.
Owen was working for an invest-
ment bank hired by the search-
engine company to nd investors
for a stock offering. The offering
lowered the value of the companys
previous shares, including 600,000
that Cuban owned.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission says Cuban avoided
$750,000 in losses by using inside
information to sell his shares.
Sports brief

SPORTS
be an advertisement for them and then have
to do write-ups for all the other companies
around here that offer these types of servic-
es. There are two here on the Peninsula of
which I am aware and lets leave it at that.
Jones has the numbers to play at the next
level. In 15 games at the varsity level
(2012 and four games this season), Jones
has caught 92 passes for 1,256 yards and
16 touchdowns.
The one thing missing, however, were
the eyeballs of college coaches. Jones
spent his freshman year at a school in Ohio
and had some interest from colleges. But
when he moved to California, the process
ground to a halt.
So Jones decided to sign up with this par-
ticular recruiting service and things have
changed dramatically for his college
prospects over the last year and a half.
Midway through my junior year, I was-
nt really talking to anyone, Jones said.
I couldnt gure out what the factors were
(keeping me getting recruited).
My junior year was going by and I start-
ed getting pamphlets and getting invited to
camps and coaches were asking, Where is
your lm? I was like, I dont have that.
(Thats when I thought) maybe I should get
on top of that.
But just signing with a recruiting service
is the rst and easiest step. Jones
still needs to put in as much work on the
recruiting process as he does on the eld
and in the classroom.
Terra Nova has turned things around and
is making a statement. Weve won some
big games. I think were starting to get the
recognition we need (to attract the atten-
tion of college coaches), Jones said. But
I also email 10 to 15 coaches a day. Im
trying to get my name out there.
Jones said the service he uses walks all
their clients through the process, provid-
ing all the contact information of coaches
around the country and making sure all the
proper paperwork is lled out.
Jones was apprehensive and skeptical at
rst.
In the beginning, it was kind of awk-
ward. Is this really going to work? Jones
said. But the more Ive been doing this
and the more realistic Ive been getting,
Ive been getting a lot of calls and emails.
Jones knows a big-time football school
will probably not come knocking on his
door. He also knows, however, that if he
wants to play football in college, there is a
spot for him.
Whatever pays for my education (is the
goal), Jones said. I cant really see
myself not playing in college, even if its
down to the NAIAlevel.
And thats the attitude every athlete needs
to take if they want to play in college. You
cant just sit on the couch and expect col-
lege coaches to come knock on your door,
or have unrealistic expectations. Much like
the work you put on the eld or court, you
need to work hard to get yourself noticed.
The work is paying for Jones. He said he
has been in constant contact with a few
schools and plans on taking recruiting
trips to these schools.
Ill do whatever it takes, Jones said.

The third set was all Liu, who broke Sidel
in the sixth game to go up 4-2 and then
broke her again to win 6-2 and give
Hillsdale the team win.
We came in knowing it would be a very
tough match to win, said Carlmont coach
Amina Halsey. I think [Sidel] played well,
but she got tentative in the second and third
sets, so thats something well work on.
The rest of the match pretty much went by
the book. Carlmont (5-1 Bay Division)
picked up the days rst point at No. 3 dou-
bles, where Julia Mirande and Sydney Cho
cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win.
Hillsdale got its rst point at No. 3 sin-
gles, where Mariko Iinuma won 6-0, 6-0 as
well.
The Scots second point came at No. 1 dou-
bles where Cassidy Sobey and Morgan
Watson won 6-1, 6-2. Michelle Guan and
Zoe Wildman completed the doubles sweep
for the Scots at No. 2, winning 6-1, 6-3.
Natalie Spievack gave the Knights their
second point with a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 2
singles and No. 4 singles player Irene
Palisoc tied the team match at 3-all with her
6-1, 6-2 win.
That set up the dramatic nish at No. 1
singles.
Iinuma, who also serves as the Knights
captain, knows her team walks a ne line,
having to depend on the four singles players
to sweep their opponents to give her team a
chance to win.
But considering all four are still undefeat-
ed in league play, Iinuma likes her teams
chances.
Its sometimes stressful because if one of
the singles loses, we could lose the match,
Iinuma said. But I have a lot of condence
in our singles.
We knew Carlmont was a good team.
But weve been undefeated so I really wanted
to win (Wednesday).
TENNIS
handled the Indians and will now face their
division nemesis, the Red Sox, who went 12-
7 against Tampa Bay this season.
David Price set the tone for the Rays post-
season run by throwing a complete game to
beat Texas in the wild-card tiebreaker, and
Cobb picked up where his teammate left off.
After he was pulled in the seventh, Cobb
walked to the dugout where he was rst greeted
with a high-ve from Price.
There was a time when Cobb wasnt even
sure he would pitch again this season.
On June 15, he suffered a concussion when
he was struck in the right ear by a line drive hit
by Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer. Cobb was side-
lined for 50 games and Tuesday he recalled
lying on his sofa and wondering if he would be
able to help the Rays contend for a playoff
spot.
He didnt want a repeat of 2011, when he
couldnt pitch in the playoffs after undergoing
surgery to remove a blood clot in his ribs.
But not only did Cobb go 5-1 after his scary
moment, the 25-year-old nished 11-3 in 22
starts and manager Joe Maddon didnt hesitate
giving him the ball for the winner-take-all
wild-card game.
The Indians went from 94 losses a year ago
to 92 wins under rst-year manager Terry
Francona and won their last 10 games to make
the postseason for the rst time since 2007.
But it was one and done for Cleveland,
which didnt capitalize on scoring opportuni-
ties. The rst three hitters, Michael Bourn,
Swisher and Jason Kipnis, went a combined 0
for 12.
The road-tested Rays, who have traveled
3,627 miles since leaving home on Sept. 23,
took a 3-0 lead in the fourth on Desmond
Jennings two-run double.

For the most part, the term fall bulbs is
a bit of a misnomer, since the majority are
spring blooming. There are exceptions,
however a few bloom in late summer and
early fall. If you like owering bulbs, you
should consider planting some of these
lesser-known specimens in your garden.
The first of these is a bulb called
Colchicum autumnale and is sometimes
referred to as fall-blooming crocus, even
though it is a member the lily family.
Colchicums are a diverse group and are
found growing in a variety of ecosystems
from Western Europe to central Asia. These
lovely bulbs are best known to avid gar-
deners who plant them for late season
color. Colchicums bloom anywhere from
late August to early October in most gar-
dens.
These seldom planted bulbs can be found
in a range of colors from deep lilac to pure
white and shades in between. There are even
double forms such as the beautiful white
Alboplenum.
Colchicums pop up in the autumn garden
as if from nowhere, and their bright, vase-
shaped owers add a welcome touch of color
at a time when it is needed most.
In the early spring, colchicum bulbs send
up clumps of broad, deep green, deer-proof
leaves.
Noticeable in the early spring when other
plants are just emerging from winter dor-
mancy, the leaves last only a short time.
Almost as quickly as they emerge they are
overshadowed by the rapid growth in the
rest of the garden.
By mid-summer, the leaves have vanished
and the plants are forgotten. Several
months later, as the garden is winding down
for the season, colchicums send their
cheery owers out of the ground and
remind us why we love gardening so much.
Hardy in zones 4 through 9, colchicums
are best planted in full sun to partial shade.
They thrive in average garden soil, but dis-
like damp locations.
They tolerate hot, dry summers well and
are relatively free from pests. As is the case
with many bulbs, they do not like to be dis-
turbed once planted, so try to select a loca-
tion that you are not apt to dig up come
spring.
While colchicum is referred to as fall cro-
cus but is not in fact crocus, there is a fall
blooming crocus that actually IS a crocus.
Seldom planted by American gardeners
but often found in European gardens, Crocus
sativus, or saffron crocus, looks just like its
spring blooming cousins.
Visitors to your garden may shake their
heads in disbelief when they see small
lavender crocus blooming in your garden in
September or October.
However, if there are gourmet cooks in
the crowd, they may be very interested in
the bulbs tiny owers since the showy red
stigmas of Crocus sativus are used to make
culinary Saffron.
Grown for thousands of years for the
unique aroma of its colorful stigmas and
their ability to add a rich golden yellow
color to recipes, crocus sativus is as carefree
a bulb as its spring blooming cousins,
albeit with a more exotic background.
Crocus bulbs, whether spring or fall
blooming, prefer to grow in full sun and
well-drained soil. If the soil is too wet,
especially during their summer dormancy
period, the bulbs will rot.
If your fall garden needs a shot of unex-
pected color, consider planting a few fall
blooming bulbs this season. When they
bloom next fall you will be glad you did!
Fall blooming bulbs add unexpected color to garden
Crocus sativus, a fall-blooming bulb, is a stunning addition to a garden.

Phoebe Taylors 20-year-old suburban
Atlanta ranch house began plain and
builder grade.
Aprofessional decorator, she transformed
it with faux wood beams, decorative mold-
ing and a gold-spun paint job that looked
like soft marble. Her vision: what our
dream house would have been if we had gone
out and bought it.
Its called Going Faux turning homes
into something they basically are not
through prefab architectural embellish-
ments and eye-tricking wall finishes.
Enthusiasts say theres no reason for even
the most budget-conscious among us to live
a cookie-cutter existence.
My house was not an expensive house.
But even the million dollar houses dont
have this kind of detail, says Taylor,
adding that she recently sold the house in
just one day.
Other faux features to consider include
ceiling decals that look like parts of elabo-
rate chandeliers, cabinetry embellishments
and painted wainscoting.
I have seen some trailer homes that have
more personality to them thanks to paint,
sweat equity, buying some lumber, and their
owners using their creativity, says Lee
Gamble, a Steamboat Springs, Colo.-based
designer and painter who specializes in faux
nishes.
Gamble says a homeowner can change
anything with desire and patience even
ambitious projects like, say, making the
interior of a standard subdivision home
look like a cozy Tudor or classic Colonial,
or like something out of the rustic West.
The Internet is a DIY decorators best
friend, she says, offering inspiration and
sources for adding architectural and decora-
tive elements to a home.
Next is paint, which Gamble calls the
cheapest way to improve your house and
its about more than just giving the walls
new color. Paint can be used to create illu-
sions of architectural elements: For exam-
ple, you can use blocks of color on walls to
create the look of molding, or three varia-
tions of one color for a three-dimensional
look an old technique called trompe
loeil that can make your home look just a
little more like the Palace of Versailles.
Paint can make high ceilings look lower
extend the ceilings color to a lower
point on the wall or give them more
height by going dark. Using different col-
ors on the top and bottom halves of a wall
can create the look of wainscot, Gamble
says.
Ornamental appliquis that adhere to any-
thing from cabinetry, walls, mantels and
molding to furniture and picture frames add
ready-made detail without breaking the
bank, she says.
The decorative appliquis, which can be
painted, stained or glazed, are particularly
helpful in transforming the look of kitchen
cabinets. If they are in good shape and the
ow works for you, then there is no reason
to change them out, Gamble says, adding
Going Faux can transform a homes style

a commercial linkage fee in which devel-
opers of retail space pay into the commu-
ni t y.
Rankin also supported such a developer
fee and shared that, as an infant, she lived
in the now-burned Hallmark apartments.
If it werent for affordable housing, I
wouldnt be sitting here today, she said.
She also joked that affordable housing
options will let her daughter return to
Redwood City after college but not move
back home.
The candidates were also like-minded in
their promotion of the citys arts scene
and, separately, approval of the citys col-
laboration with homeowners for sidewalk
maintenance and tree planting.
Partnership is what its about, Howard
said.
Gee said some residents say that trees
should be a city responsibility but that
the reality is that
Redwood City gets less
than 18 percent of prop-
erty taxes we pay.
Han said city staff are
stretched and, returning
to his priority of respon-
sible development, said
the city needs to consid-
er how developers are or
are not benefiting the
ci t y. For example, he
said, the Stanford in
Redwood City project
will bring in millions in
a development agree-
ment but got a pass on
its property tax.
Schmidt returned to the
idea of partnering as a
solution to the lack of
housing at every eco-
nomic level and for the elderly which he
named as the citys biggest long-term chal-
lenge.
The city needs to identify where they
want to partner before the developers come
calling, Gee said.
If we make it too hard
to build here theyll go
down the street ... and
then we end up with
nothing, he said.
Gee also emphasized
the need to keep the city
financially sound to pro-
vide city services
because without that
nothing happens.
Seybert also listed a
balanced budget as his
number one priority
which he said hes
accomplished for four
years on the council by
voting only for things
that do not call for
reserves.
The budget was tops
for Howard, too, and she said partnerships
are the answer to meeting goals like
rebuilding aging facilities.
On the flip side, when it comes to cutting
if necessary and making ends meet,
Seybert said he would
work with labor groups
and pointed out that the
city instituted a two-tier
pension system two
years before the state did.
Howard doesnt want to
make cuts even as the
state finds new ways to
take away money. She
prefers raising revenue.
We cant keep cutting
to the bone and keep ask-
ing the people of
Redwood City to keep
accepting it, she said.
For less than $10,000,
Han said the city could
install wireless down-
town and corporations
and businesses pay for
advertising that could
then fund parking.

Creating an after-school program is
something the city has done for education,
Ibarra said.
Marty Medina sees a disconnect between
the council and school board.
I think with the change in some of the
members and new attitude of wanting to
work together and sharing services, Marty
Medina said. We need to do more and gure
out a way to do it.
Ibarra and Rico Medina agreed that re
administrative shared services are a good
trend for cutting costs, as long as the resi-
dents feel safe and that theres not a change
in reaction time.
Pushing for ways to increase security with
the fire department is necessary, Marty
Medina.
Efciencies and service agreements are
necessary to drive down costs, Mason said.
Crime
In terms of crime rates, Mason sees a pos-
itive turn in town.
You can influence people in positive
ways, Mason said. People are going to
move here and make communities and
schools better [as median housing prices go
up].
Crime is up in the city, Marty Medina
said, according to data from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. This is of concern
for Marty Medina.
Ibarra said the data shows nine more rob-
beries, which amounted to a 17 percent
increase in crime, but is not substantial.
Things are on the upside, he said.
And Rico Medina said he knows police are
doing a good job.
Economic development
Candidates were hopeful about economic
development in San Bruno post-recession
and after losing redevelopment agency
funds from the state. The Transit Corridor
Plan was key to all of the candidates.
We got redevelopment, we lost redevel-
opment, Ibarra said. You cant say youre
going to invite businesses to a city, unless
you give them a plan to develop, some
incentives, thats the only way youre
going to bring on economic development
and were in a position to do that.
Marty Medina said the city has to encour-
age new businesses to start by delaying per-
mit fees.
Agrade separation project will help eco-
nomic development, Rico Medina said.
Were blessed at this time, Rico Medina
said. We are planning for the future and
have balanced the budget and are doing our
best to bring in new businesses.
There are opportunities for small labora-
tories in the city and mild beautication
efforts in downtown to bring people in,
Mason said.
SAN BRUNO
huge step in that direction by creating an
assessment system focused on improving
teaching and learning and by sending a clear
signal about our commitment to this urgent
work.
The new tests are still under development,
so schools will be required to give them on a
practice basis in grades 3-8 and 11 this
spring, with students taking either the math
or language sections, but not both.
No individual student scores, school per-
formance reports or statewide results
measurements that parents use to gauge their
childrens advancement and politicians and
business leaders use to compare schools
would be generated from the rollout.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
has criticized California for wanting to go a
year or more without report-
ing test scores and threatened
to withhold federal funds if it
made the switch. California
previously had planned only
to sample the new tests with
about 20 percent of its 3.3
million public school students this spring.
Torlakson still is planning to seek
Duncans permission to follow the accelerat-
ed timetable called for in the bill Brown
signed, and state ofcials have said they
might be willing to implement it even if it
costs the state federal dollars.
Supporters of doing away with the old
tests ahead of schedule say it does not make
sense for schools to give the old tests when
teachers already are gearing their lessons
toward Common Core, which calls for more
in-depth teaching of fewer subjects and
emphasizes real-world applications of mate-
rial in an effort to prepare students for col-
lege and careers.
This is one of the most important and
revolutionary changes to education policy,
and California is the right state to lead the
way, said Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla,
D-Concord, the bills author. With this new
law, our schools can move away from outdat-
ed STAR tests and prepare students and teach-
ers for better assessments.
California has been giving the STAR tests
to all students in grades 2-11. Under the plan
approved by Brown, only the science por-
tion of the test would be given to fth-,
eighth- and 10th-graders next spring before
being dropped altogether a year later.
Bonillas bill was among 13 education
bills signed by the governor on Wednesday
that included a measure authorizing the state
Department of Education to develop tests
and materials for students who are learning
to speak English and matched to Common
Core.
TESTING
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Lee Reich
When I really want to impress a vis-
itor to my garden, I offer a taste of
Fallgold raspberries.
Many raspberries taste good, espe-
cially when picked dead ripe and
popped into your mouth, but Fallgold
is perhaps the tenderest and sweetest
raspberry around. Here is a berry that
youll never see in a supermarket; its
too fragile to travel much further than
arms length.
Fallgold berries also have an unusu-
al appearance. Their pale yellow,
blushed orange color seems to speak
to their sweetness and tenderness, and
also probably helps hide the fruit from
birds.
As its name indicates, Fallgold
bears fruit in the fall. In this, its not
unique. There are a number of so-called
fallbearing raspberries. These vari-
eties begin their fall crop (it actually
begins in late summer) starting at the
tips of new canes, with fruit continu-
ing to ripen down the canes until
stopped by freezing temperatures.
Fallbearing raspberries are some-
times called everbearing raspberries,
although they actually bear only two
crops each season. The rst, in mid-
summer, is borne lower on canes that
grew the previous season, the ones
that started bearing near their tips the
previous late summer and fall.
Knowing where and when these
raspberries fruit tells you how to
prune them. Easiest is just to cut the
whole planting to the ground early
each winter. This method sacrices the
summer crop but avoids any problems
from winter cold or hungry deer. It
also cuts down on the chances of dis-
ease, not that raspberries are so
plagued by diseases.
However, it seems a shame to
choose that easier pruning route for
Fallgold. Why? Because if you let it
bear two crops a season, youre forced
to suffer only a short hiatus usually
only a couple of weeks between the
end of the summer crop and the begin-
ning of the second crop. You get
berries from midsummer right into
autumn.
Pruning for two crops is not all that
difcult. In winter or right after the
summer crop nishes, cut down to the
ground every cane that bore a summer
crop. You can recognize these canes
because they show their age with peel-
ing bark. In winter, go over the plant-
ing and cut to the ground enough
younger canes so that those that are
left are a few inches apart and grow in
a swathe no wider than 12 inches.
Selectively remove the thinnest ones.
With Fallgold grown for two crops
each season, theres still usually no
need to worry about winter cold dam-
age on those canes that remain.
Despite its beauty, sweetness and ten-
derness, Fallgold is a tough plant.
Dont fret too much about deer damage
either: Deer arent all that fond of
raspberry canes, and Fallgold will
compensate for any canes that are
eaten with a subsequent, larger late
summer and fall crop.
This offbeat raspberrys worth growing
Despite its beauty, sweetness and tenderness, Fallgold is a
tough plant.

Its an immense project and a lot of
workers [on the theater] have asked if
they can bring their wives to the open
house, she said. People are proud of
their craftsmanship on the building
and thats a clear indication of the
buildings quality.
The center preceding the newly con-
structed theater was built in 1953.
Something thats 60 years old
depletes during its life span,
McManus said. It was an opportunity
to replenish life into the center; it was
on time and on budget.
With three main lighting catwalks, a
full technical ledge, lighting bars and
a computer controlled lighting panel,
the theater provides the lighting needs
for any venue including a soloist, full
orchestration, dramatic performance,
choir, lecture or speaking forum.
House lighting includes wall scones to
allow varied house lighting moods
depending on the event.
Suspended acoustical clouds and spe-
cially designed side and rear wall n-
ishes ensure all seats have clear un-
reverberant sound. The stage and house
is equipped with wired and wireless
technologies for presentations includ-
ing large format video screen and
sound reinforcement.
The acoustical system sounds like
[Louise M.] Davies Symphony Hall,
McManus said.
The previous theater did not provide
wheelchair accessibility.
It was in fact so poor that the entire
house was inaccessible, said Mark
Quattrocchi, principal at Quattrocchi
Kwok Architects, the architects that
designed the project. Now there is
access to all levels of the lobby and
seating, as well as the orchestra pit and
basement levels.
The Collaborative for High
Performance Schools was used as
opposed to LEED. The equivalent
LEED rating would likely be Silver,
Quattrocchi said. The building is high-
ly energy efcient and includes day
lighting in the lobby to reduce demand
on articial lighting and uses many
recycled and readily renewable materi-
als, Quattrocchi said.
The role the theater offers is really
important for learning opportunities,
he said. Its invaluable from a 21st
century learning perspective. Students
can learn about the technology side of
theater. Students can take an active
role in running a sophisticated the-
ater.
Matt Irwin, project manager at
Cahill Contractors, worked on the cen-
ter and noted that for a project of this
size and complexity, every aspect had
its challenges.
There was a signicant amount of
collaboration, Irwin said. It was a
monumental effort that makes it all the
more satisfying.
An art class at San Mateo High
School competed to create the build-
ings banners. Additional touches
include an additional two oors to the
front area, bamboo along the side of
the building to screen the generators,
televisions and a concession stand on
the second oor.
The grand opening is 6:30 p.m. Oct.
3 at 600 N. Delaware St. in San Mateo
and will feature opening comments and
performances by San Mateo High
School students highlighting the new
theaters technical capabilities.
Mills High School will also host an
open house for its new 48,800 square
foot gym and theater that seats 700
6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16
at 400 Murchison Drive in Millbrae.
Hillsdale High School will also open a
new theater later this month.
THEATER
ahead with approving it for Emerald
Hills.
The Planning Commission Tuesday
night declined to approve the projects
environmental documents and asked
city staff to come back with alterna-
tives to the proposed above-ground
tank, pump station and pipelines. The
commission and the numerous resi-
dents who spoke in opposition
agreed the mitigated negative declara-
tion might be legally complete but
that it doesnt adequately address what
neighbor Jay Parnes called the human
impact.
The report masks the true impact on
the neighborhood and residents,
Parnes said.
The commission agreed the report
needed to dig deeper into aesthetics
and suggested that now that the city
has the money to replace the previous
tanks removed in 1999 it take the time
to do it right.
Im very concerned there could be
an opportunity for making this project
even better than the mechanical or
very functional needs of the city and
area which is water safety and all those
good things, said Planning
Commissioner Randy Tabing.
City staff will now look at possibil-
ities like building the tank into the
hill or even fully underground. No spe-
cic date was set for the next review.
As proposed, the tank would sit at
the intersection of California Way and
Tom Suden Way. The design included a
berm to give the impression the tank
sits a little below grade, green paint to
blend into the hillside and a reduction
in size from 28 to 23 feet.
The proposed project would also
replace the existing pump station and
pipework and provide a new water
transmission line along Jefferson
Avenue to bring water from a lower
water reservoir at Lakeview Way.
City staff said the new facility will
improve water storage for reghting
and emergencies and house an emer-
gency generator, both needs that
speakers Tuesday acknowledged.
The residents are not in conict
with the city in terms of the general
plan of enhancing re response capac-
i t y. We disagree with the current plan
to build at grade level in an established
neighborhood, said Elizabeth
Albanese who lives near the site.
Opponents delivered a petition with
185 signatures to the city prior to the
Planning Commission public hearing.
Along with aesthetics, opponents
cited concerns about property values,
vandalism, ongoing maintenance and
the loss of open space. They pointed
to water tanks in other cities like Palo
Alto and Menlo Park that had been
built underground as examples of what
Redwood City should consider.
Yesterday, resident Gabi Holzwarth
said she and other residents are thrilled
with the commissions decision and
are hoping to work with the city on the
alternatives.

District trustees expressed their sup-
port for Mahoney.
Chris has always been a vocal sup-
porter of the overall districts vision
and push into 21st century learning,
and I suspect youll see him back in
public education very soon involved
with similar initiatives, Trustee Seth
Rosenblatt wrote in a blog post. I cer-
tainly wish him the best of health, and
good thoughts to the CLC community
as they work through the transition.
Its for the best at this point, said
Trustee Adam Rak.
Hes denitely made a lot of posi-
tive changes for the school, Rak said.
Hell be leaving a legacy of that.
