Millbrae to outsource police


City Council votes 3-2 to begin negotiating a contract with the Sheriffs Office
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Millbrae will begin negotiating to contract with the Sheriffs Ofce for police services a decision that could save the city $1.1 million to $2 million annually but that split the opinion of those at Tuesdays City Council meeting.

San Bruno and Millbrae currently share Neil Telford, who acts as police chief for both cities until Nov. 18 when he will return to San Bruno full time. On Tuesday, Millbrae ofcial voted 3-2, with councilmembers Paul Seto and Nadia Holober dissenting, to begin negotiating a contract for services to be provided by the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.

The vote came after more than two hours of discussion with community input that raised concerns about adequate stafng, volunteers and the future for non-sworn employees. The timing of the decision was another topic that split those in attendance. Both Holober and Seto advocated for waiting until the newly elected council took ofce before

the end of the year to make the decision. Im voting no because it goes against the overwhelming majority of our community, Holober said. Others on the council disagreed. We have to make a decision and sadly, I

from ofce supplies to vehicle eet contracts and by having departments better coordinate and consolidate their purchases. The county paid Accenture $100,000 for the initial assessment but the cost is waived by the new agreement under which Accenture will develop a basic benets tracking program to monitor countywide savings between now and March 31. Supervisor Dave Pine asked if the county couldnt do a good portion of the Accenture recommendations on its own rather than contract out the work. Farrales said she and others involved spent a good amount of time looking at the possibility but that current employee workload would make it challenging. Pine was the sole dissenting vote against the agreement. Accenture noted that of its $1.8 billion budget, the county spends approximately $228.5 million for goods and services across departments. Accentures savings were estimated from centralizing purchasing and reducing the costs of these goods and services. Other savings could come from bulk purchasing with cities although none have shown any specic interest. One large area of proposed savings is ofce supplies and copiers, of which the county has 340. Another is guring out how to combine department needs to take advantage of purchasing power and volume discounts. Accenture also recommended the Controllers Office creates Accounts Payable Shared Services with electronic invoices and approvals and develop a way to provide statistics about purchasing, such as savings and departmental compliance, to give a bigger view of possible efciencies. Other ideas include establishing a contractor qualication process for capital projects and looking at contracts for commonly ordered items so premiums arent paid for emergency needs. The county could also consolidate volume with one supplier, make volume commitments to increase dealer discounts and share temporary stafng.

A man was reported drunk and loitering in a liquor store for two hours on Edgewater Boulevard in Foster City before 4:46 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7.

County supervisors yesterday agreed to spend up to $1 million over the next three years in hopes of saving even more money long term. The Board of Supervisors approved a contract with consulting rm Accenture which allows it to pocket the rst $1 million in savings identied, with the rest going to San Mateo County. Earlier this year, the rm compiled a report identifying ways to trim costs and make operations more efcient. The new agreement is a follow-up. Were confident the county will achieve ongoing savings, said Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales, adding the plan will create a structure for even more in the future. Estimated savings the rst year are between $710,000 and $1.4 million and county ofcials say they will achieve at least $1 million in ongoing savings with a payback period of less than two years. The earlier conclusion was that the county could save up to $8 million through smarter spending on everything

County methadone clinic to go private


Board of Supervisors votes to transfer operation of facility

Burglary. The front door of a home was smashed on Ralston Avenue before 6:55 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12. Brandishing a weapon. Someone was reported for having a weapon on Ralston Avenue before 11:01 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9.

The county will transfer its methadone clinic to a private provider next month, saving more than a half-million dollars spent on hundreds of patients who need the opiate replacement therapy. The Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed yesterday to eliminate the existing agreement for the Menlo Parkbased program and allow Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment, Inc. to take over on or about Dec. 1. The handoff is considered the best option for keeping the clinic open while not letting it continue to drain county nancial resources. The shift will save the county an estimated $626,442 annually. The program costs the San Mateo Medical Center $900 per patient day in the current scal year and would cost $920 per patient day next year. Currently, 235 people are enrolled in

the decade-old program which treats addiction to narcotics like heroin, morphine, codeine, Vicodin, Oxycontin and Fentanyl. Health System Director Jean Fraser said clients should Jean Fraser see little or no service changes under the new operator. It should be seamless for the patients, she said. All but one of the 14 county employees will be placed elsewhere by the Health System and plans are in the works for the last, Fraser said. At some point, however, clients may be heading to a new location. The program is offered at the San Mateo Medical Center Willow Campus in Menlo Park, in space belonging to the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, although several county ofcials believe

the clients could be better served by a move somewhere more central. Along with a three-year BAART contract, the supervisors agreed to a six-month lease extension with the VA for $311,110.32. The fate of the methadone program has been in question since at least 2009 when health officials said the clinic could draw more patients and stop draining money from county coffers by moving and drawing at least 300 patients to be nancially viable. Faced with an annual $500,000 operating bill from the clinic, county ofcials began looking at turning the 330-patient clinic over to a private rm and put out a call for bids. After reviewing three qualifying proposals, clinic members and Health System managers recommended the clinic stay under county care with certain caveats meant to keep service levels up and costs down. Unfortunately, the savings were realized and in June ofcials began the process of transferring the clinic.

Assault during stabbing brings time served
A gangmember who participated in a stabbing attack on a man mistaken for a rival gangmember in San Mateo was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison but released with credit for time served. Rogelio Adonay Gastelum, 20, pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and admitted acting to benet a street gang rather than stand trial for attempted murder and malice. In return, he received a at two-year term with credit for 733 days earned while in custody without bail. Meanwhile, the teen accused of actually Rogelio performing the stabbing, Jonathan Medina, Gastelum 16, is scheduled to begin trial April 23. He is being tried separately because his case was put on hold while doctors determined his tness for trial. According to prosecutors, on July 15, 2010, Gastelum, then 19, and Medina, then 14, mistakenly believed one of four men leaving the Project 90 treatment program near downtown San Mateo were Sureos because he wore a blue shirt. One of the defendants allegedly yelled and ashed Norteo signs before they assaulted the 21-year-old man and another. The victim was stabbed seven times in the torso and required emergency surgery to survive. Medina remains in custody without bail.

SAN FRANCISCO At marinas up and down the central California coast, crab boats were still docked on Tuesday, their decks piled high with steel pots, even though Dungeness season has ofcially started. The season began at 12:01 a.m., but shermen had postponed heading out to catch crab because of a dispute with buyers over price and quality. Seafood processors and crab boat owners on Tuesday said test pots will be pulled up from the murky depths of the Pacic Ocean on Wednesday to check the quality of the crab. The so-called test pots were dropped off of the coasts of Half Moon Bay and Bodega Bay, and will help determine a price and when the eet will leave the dock. We dont know if the crabs are superior, we dont know exactly what they are, so when we talk price (the processors) were offering lower than what we want to sh for, said Joe Mantua, a crab shermen out of Bodega Bay. The processors were offering $2 per pound, and fishermen wanted $2.50. Both sides hope to reach a price agreement within the next few days, and the result of Wednesdays testing will help dictate how quickly a deal is reached. These tests will give the buyers and

the shermen knowledge, and let us see what the crabs are looking like, he said. At Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco, the eet was gathered at port lifting pots by crane onto their decks. Standing on the Jeannise Louella, crab shermen Gene Harding and Kevin Snow said there were still concerns over the size of the crabs, since some being brought back by sport sherman had not lled out the way they had hoped. Fishermen are hoping for a repeat of the spectacular catch from 2010, when boats hauled in more than 19 million pounds of Dungeness crab off central California. It was the largest recorded haul in state history, according to the California Department of Fish & Game. Statewide more than 27 million pounds of the delicious crab were caught during the 2010 season. While many are expecting another strong year, crab shermen know their catch follows a boom and bust cycle of about 10 years. But since numbers were way down during between 2007-2009, most expect this year to continue last years boom trend.

Theft suspect arrested

Updated ballot tally swaps incumbents


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Only one incumbent, Lorraine Rumley, appeared to be re-elected to the Sequoia Union High School District on the school board but now it appears Olivia Martinez may have taken that spot. In the race to ll three seats on the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees, challengers Carrie Du Bois, San Carlos Elementary School District trustee and Stanford University educator Allen Weiner were the top vote getters. On election night, Trustee Lorraine Rumley, who originally joined the board in 1999, rounded out the top spot with 19.3 percent of the vote. On Tuesday, Rumley lost her spot when fellow incumbent Olivia Martinez received a ballot boost, according to updated results released by the San

Mateo County Elections Office. Martinez, now in the third spot, is 53 votes ahead of Rumley. Two races had been deemed too close to call after the Nov. 8 election. Numbers have changed the spread but not yet the outcome in the Millbrae and Belmont city council races. After last weeks election, it was clear Vice Mayor Marge Colapietro and Planning Commissioner Wayne Lee were elected to the Millbrae City Council which remained unchanged although who received the top votes did ip to Lee. However, a 16-vote difference between former mayor Robert Gottschalk and Realtor Anne Oliva made the third seat too close to call. The Thursday, Nov. 10 results saw that lead shrink to only seven votes. Tuesdays tally gave Gottschalk a boost and his

biggest lead of 32 votes. On election night, Oliva commented that she held out hope for a win once the count was nalized. Tallies will next be updated Thursday, Nov. 17. Another tight race was in Belmont. Incumbent David Braunstein was easily re-elected to his Belmont council seat, earning 36 percent of the vote. The other incumbent in the race, however, Christine Wozniak barely edged out Planning Commissioner Eric Reed by just 14 votes. As of Tuesday, Wozniaks lead had fallen to 12 votes While the number of votes cast did change in most races, all previously reported outcomes remained unchanged.

DA wants teen bomber to pay


Prosecutors seeking $97,000 for lost school time and damages
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Prosecutors say the San Mateo teen who tried killing his former teachers in a botched massacre with homemade bombs and a chain saw should repay the school district not only for the physical damage to the campus but also the wages of staff during a two-day school closure following the incident and for time spent testifying. Seeking restitution for lost wages is not unusual for victims or witnesses who miss work but asking a judge to quantify lost school time is novel, said Chief Deputy Karen Guidotti. Judge Stephen Hall took the arguments under submission and is expected to issue a written ruling this week on whether Alexander Robert Youshock must pay $97,728 in economic losses. The amount isnt warranted because neither the teachers nor the school district lost money for those days, said defense attorney Jonathan McDougall. They still got paid. If a gas line had broken and that is why the school was closed they would still be paid, McDougall said. McDougall is not disputing repayment of more than $26,000 in physical damage and court time $14,452 in materials for the repairs, $1,227 for staff over-

time to complete the repairs and $8,754 in salaries for teachers and staff who testied before the grand jury and at trial, according to Guidottis calculations. McDougall said he also wouldnt Alexander contest other costs Youshock like counseling. I am not quibbling over that or the damages. Absolutely not, he said. Youshock, 19, wasnt present at the hearing. He is currently committed to Napa State Hospital, having been found insane following his conviction for attempted murder and several other felonies. If he is ever deemed restored to sanity, Youshock will face 24 years and eight months in prison. Considering both terms, Guidotti conceded expecting any repayment is an exercise in futility. However, she said the principal is important. The bottom line is the victims have the right to it and what if he gets out and somehow wins the lottery? If he ends up with a fortune, his victims are entitled to get what they are owed, she said. Early on Aug. 24, 2009, Youshock, then 17, arrived at Hillsdale High School intent on killing three former instructors

including chemistry teacher Meghan Spalding, who he blamed for ruining his life by pushing school work and participation. He was armed with a chain saw hidden in a guitar case, a vest full of homemade pipe bombs, a 10-inch sword and a face shield to protect him from blood splatter. He left in his bedroom at home a manifesto of his plan and videos of his making and testing the bombs. On campus, Youshock was unable to start the chain saw and exploded two bombs that injured no one before being tackled by a teacher and held until police arrived. In March, a jury convicted Youshock of six felonies, including the attempted murder of Spalding but later deadlocked 11 to 1 over questions of his sanity. In May, both sides agreed to forgo another trial with a compromise in which Youshock pleaded no contest to a second attempted murder count and was ruled insane on one charge of exploding a destructive device with intent to commit murder. Experts called by both sides during trial agreed Youshock is likely schizophrenic but were divided on whether the disease kept him from understanding that what he planned and carried out was both illegal and wrong by generally accepted social standards.

Shooting rattles UC Berkeley protests

Mayor Lee disappointed in Occupy camp conditions
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee visited the Occupy SF encampment at Justin Herman Plaza for the rst time Tuesday morning and said he was a little disappointed with the conditions at the camp. Speaking to Ed Le reporters at City Hall after his monthly mandated appearance at the Board of Supervisors meeting, Lee said he stopped by the encampment at about 8:30 a.m. to see rsthand what was going on there. Demonstrators with Occupy SF, the local version of the Occupy Wall Street movement that started in New York in September and has spread nationwide, have been camping out at the public plaza at the foot of Market Street for several weeks. Lee said he was disappointed that campers have not complied with our wishes concerning public cleanliness and the size of the encampment, which he said has spread up Market Street and into the plazas bocce ball courts.

BERKELEY A day of demonstrations by students and anti-Wall Street activists was disrupted Tuesday when a campus police ofcer shot a man with a gun about a half-mile from the main protest site at the University of California, Berkeley. The shooting occurred inside the Haas School of Business as hundreds of demonstrators left an outdoor plaza at the university for a march to demonstrate outside a bank. Ofcials did not know if the suspect was part of the Occupy Cal movement, said Ute Frey, a spokeswoman for the university. I just hope it wasnt from the protest or the movement, because thats not what the movement is about, said Sadia Saif, a 19-yearold sophomore at UC Berkeley. University ofcials said a female staff member reported a man with a gun at 2:17 p.m. Police found the suspect in a third-oor computer room where there were at least four students. The suspect raised the gun and was shot by an ofcer, according to the school. The condition of the 33year-old suspect was not immediately known. His name was not

released. Dong Hwan Kim, 27, a senior, said he was terrified when he learned of the shooting. The shooting, in addition to whats happening here with the protests, makes the campus feel really tense, Kim said. This is a historical moment, but it is also really scary at the same time. Protesters descended on the university after ReFund California, a coalition of student groups and university employee unions, called for a campus strike, and protesters marched and rallied to protest banks and budget cuts to higher education. Earlier in the day, more than 1,000 students, campus employees, faculty and other demonstrators lled an outdoor plaza after many took part in teach-ins. The plaza was covered with banners that read stop the cuts and educate the state.

Canine virus strikes Occupy S.F.camp


An outbreak of a contagious and often fatal disease found in canines called parvovirus, has been conrmed to be present at the Occupy SF encampment at Justin Herman Plaza. The San Francisco SPCA and the citys Department of Animal Care and Control teamed up for a clinic at the Occupy SF camp on Monday to test and diagnose dogs for various diseases and infections. Two dogs tested positive for parvovirus at the Occupy SF camp during the clinic, Rebecca Katz director of San Francisco Animal Care and Control said. According to the Center for Disease Control website, parvovirus cannot infect humans and pets can be immunized against it. The infection and spread of the disease may be a result of individuals who are not getting the necessary vaccines for their dogs.

Congress pushes back on healthier school lunches


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Who needs leafy greens and carrots when pizza and french fries will do? In an effort many 9-year-olds will cheer, Congress wants pizza and french fries to stay on school lunch lines and is ghting the Obama administrations efforts to take unhealthy foods out of schools. The nal version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year. These include limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line, putting new restrictions on sodi-

um and boosting the use of whole grains. The legislation would block or delay all of those efforts. The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now. USDA had wanted to only count a half-cup of tomato paste or more as a vegetable, and a serving of pizza has less than that. Nutritionists say the whole effort is reminiscent of the Reagan administrations much-ridiculed attempt 30 years ago to classify ketchup as a vegetable to cut costs. This time around, food companies that produce frozen pizzas for schools, the salt industry and potato growers requested the changes and lobbied Congress.

Gabrielle Giffords showing progress,but still struggles


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Smiling and cheerful, fussing with her interviewers hair and nestled in the arms of her husband, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords displayed remarkable progress from the shocking images of her the day after she was shot in the forehead outside a Tucson supermarket. But she still struggled to form complete sentences and said, with her husbands help, that she wouldnt return to Congress until she was better. Giffords, 41, appeared Monday on ABC in her rst public interview since being shot on Jan. 8 while meet-

ing with constituents. The interview showed a woman who appeared condent and determined, but still far from able to carry on a detailed conversation. When Gabrielle it came to her Giffords political future, Diane Sawyer tried to get Giffords to summarize her current mindset, asking the Arizona Democrat whether she was thinking she would return to Congress if she got better.

ly two-track with passing tracks constructed south of San Mateo to allow high-speed trains to bypass the slower commuter trains. The blended system minimizes impacts beyond the corridor, Lee said. The rail authority has shifted away from the notion that the project would be a separate stand-alone system that would not integrate with other commuter lines, Richard told the panel. Richard previously served on the Bay Area Rapid Transit board and was appointed to the rail authority board in August. The project is set to get under way in the Central Valley next year and then either come north to San Francisco or south to Los Angeles in the second phase of construction. Getting the system to either endpoint will trigger the buildout of the rest of the system and attract private investment, Richard said. We have a robust plan for private sector investment, Richard said. But Valadao questioned why private investment couldnt be found sooner rather than later. I was told there would be private investment early on, said Valadao, who represents many Central Valley municipalities. You need $13 billion from the federal government in the next 10 years but the Fed is in trouble, needing to cut $1 trillion from the budget. Hill also asked whether private sector money could be secured earlier rather than later. Can we secure private funding before we make this big investment? Hill asked the rail authority ofcials. Gordon, Hill and Valadao also heard from Jim Wunderman of the Bay Area Council who strongly supports the project and Elizabeth Alexis, with Californians Advocating Responsible Rail Design, who wants the rail authority to slow its efforts and get more details related to ridership, cost and impacts of the project. You need to take the project out of the hands of consultants. This is a very risky plan. You need another year to get more information, Alexis said. But Daniel Krause, executive director with Californians for High-Speed Rail, said the project should get started now without delay.

THE DAILY JOURNAL


He advocated for the rail authority to start investing in electrifying the Caltrain corridor and segments in Southern California to get the high-speed trains to the endpoints as quick as possible. If you accelerate the project, you will save money and attract private investors sooner, Krause said. The panel also heard from ofcials with the Legislative Analysts Ofce and the State Building and Construction Trades. LAO ofcials said they were still concerned with some of the authoritys cost and ridership projections while union ofcials said the project will lead to hundreds of thousands of jobs. Palo Alto City Hall, where the meeting was held, was packed with union members holding signs and wearing T-shirts in support of the project. The construction industry has suffered with the poor economy, said Cesar Diaz, legislative director with the trades union. The naysayers are wrong about the project but most of all we need jobs. William Grindley, with the Community Coalition on High-Speed Rail, called the project a mountain of debt. He also questioned whether high-speed train systems in other parts of the world are really profitable. Burlingame attorney Charles Voltz told the lawmakers yesterday that the updated draft business plan is an improvement over the previous two plans. I commend the authority on the improved business plan. What it shows is how inadequate the two former plans were, Voltz said. The Legislature was warned the costs would spiral, he said, adding that projections on cost and ridership should be conducted by an independent group. You cannot rely on information from the promoters of the project, Voltz said, adding the project may have never gained approval if the Legislature listened about the cost. Leonardo Hochberg, a resident of Palo Alto, said the project should be built for future generations, however, including his 11-year-old son. To be blunt. If you will not be around in 20 or 30 years then you shouldnt oppose the project, Hochberg said.

Workers weigh in on RAIL proposed city cuts


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Burlingame employees facing a 10 percent decrease in total compensation say its too much when the city is seeing a nancial uptick, while ofcials contend the conservative budgeting is necessary. During a special meeting Tuesday night, Burlingame employees in two unions American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 829 and 2190 had the chance to publicly address the City Council about ongoing contract negotiations. Employees say the proposed cuts will be too much to bear for those who are the lowest paid. In addition, union ofcials pointed to the citys recent revenue boost as a sign the current budget is too conservative. City ofcials, on the other hand, noted unfunded liabilities for employees and capital projects require a revenue stream. In recent years, the Burlingame City Council decided to use revenue that assumed a 2 percent annual increase, which matched the annual average over 10 years. Over the last year the citys revenue exceeded that and the city realized additional savings money that was put into reserves. Noting the success, employees asked that the city reconsider its position, re-examine the numbers and consider not having across-the-board cuts but rather allow those on the lower end to maintain a living wage. AFSCME representative Sharon McAleavey stressed the employees were not against changes but thought the citys initial request went too far. Mayor Terry Nagel thanked the employees for their hard work but also said the city faces numerous nancial challenges like funding the previously-promised employee retiree benets and capital projects like the Broadway overpass. What has been proposed is a compromise that would have you giving a little bit more and we would continue to fund the benets. This is not going to break the bank for you nor will you lose your jobs, said Nagel, who added it should allow the city to get a handle on its scal problems.

Garbage Rate Increase? Again?


This is on top of the 23% increase earlier this year.

the project cost has grown from about $33 billion in 2008 dollars to about $100 billion, which accounts for ination over the more than 20-year period it will take to build the entire system to link San Francisco with Los Angeles. Gordon is the chair of the budget subcommittee on resources and transportation. He was joined by Assemblymen Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and David Valadao, RHanford. The three took testimony from both supporters and critics of the project yesterday, with the rail authoritys Chief Executive Ofcer Roloef van Ark starting the conversation. Van Ark told the lawmakers, You requested transparency and truth in the business plan and that is what you have now. The system will show an operating profit, he said, and public investment will attract private sector dollars. Van Ark spoke alongside rail authority board members Dan Richard, Michael Rossi and Jim Hartnett, the former mayor of Redwood City. Hartnett spoke positively about a blended system that will have high-speed trains share the tracks with Caltrain, mostly within the current corridor on the Peninsula. The blended system idea is also favorable to cities in Southern California, Hartnett said. Locally, the blended system will work for Caltrain, said Marian Lee, the acting director for the Caltrain Modernization Program. There are still difcult discussions ahead, Lee said. But we are now on common ground. T h e blended system calls for t h e Caltrain corridor to stay essential-

Next Monday, the San Mateo Council will be voting on another proposed garbage increase.

Letters to the editor


Too many nines
Editor, Your San Mateo City Council once again is going to vote for a 9.9 percent increase in your garbage rates. They voted yes to a 23.3 percent increase earlier this year just months after a new contact was signed. By the way there are more increases planned! Why? Because your City Council guaranteed the garbage company (wait for it) a 9 percent prot! Make your feelings known. Protest! Alpine Road, Santa Clara County required that mitigation be offered. One small neighborhood, Stanford Weekend Acres (SWA), built long before Interstate 280 and the Alpine Road exit leading to Stanford, is against the improvements. They claim the project will be an over-development that will attract so many walkers and cyclists that they will be unable to get out of their driveways. But path trafc is minuscule compared to 25,000 cars per day on the road the real problem at SWA and some path users are on foot or bicycle instead in cars. Improvement of the path is a win for everyone, including SWA and all county taxpayers. The path is a desirable asset that encourages non-automobile travel and increases the attractiveness of the local neighborhoods. A modest project now could improve SWAs access and delay a much more intrusive modication, necessitated by Stanfords current hospital expansion. Would you be happy to learn that the supervisors rejected a $10.4 million gift, leaving you, the taxpayer, to bear the expense of in a year or two? Let your supervisors know that you expect them to be scally responsible and move this project forward.

Take it back from who?


Editor, The Republican battle cry to take the country back raises the obvious question From who? From those citizens who duly elected Barack Obama as our president with a clear majority without tricks, cheating and road blocks against voters exercising their constitutional rights? Do the Republicans suggest that something went wrong with the 2008 election? The tricks didnt work? The cheating not deep enough? Or, were the voters so overwhelmingly in favor of Obama that he won convincingly despite the usual Republican tricks to prevent democracy from working? Wake up, people, and realize what the Republicans are up to again; they are perhaps more determined than ever to obstruct the democratic process and prevent the common good from trumping self interests. Their tactics are not only unconstitutional and clearly against the countrys best interests, but also may very well lead the country into further decline economically, educationally, scientically and socially. They are afraid of a second term with Obama who, with congressional support, will be able to do so much good for the country that it may take decades for the Republican party to gain any power again, if ever. That would be the end of self interests paying off politicians for the benet of the wealthiest 1 percent to 2 percent.

Teachers fault union


Editor, I applaud Tim Hilborn for having the courage to speak out against the undue inuence exerted by unions as part of the problem triggering the occupy protests in his letter to the editor, Nowhere else to turn in the Nov. 15 edition of the Daily Journal. He writes, Our political system at all levels has been bought out and dominated by corporations and unions. How many other teachers and other union members out there are also concerned with the misuse of their union dues? Remember Proposition 75 (Public Employee Union Dues. Restrictions on Political Contributions. Employee Consent Requirement)? See: http://www.smartvoter.org/2005/11/08/ca /state/prop/75/ and this excerpt from http://www.cityjournal.org/2011/21_4_snd-unions.html: California taxpayer groups tried again in 2005 with Proposition 75, but it, too, went down to defeat. Labor and its allies expended a staggering $54 million to ght the initiative, outspending opponents by a ten-to-one margin. Shall we try again?

Political ax to grind
Editor, The letter in the Oct. 29 Daily Journal by Christopher P. Conway The new ea party is a glaring example of how having a political ax to grind makes one completely blind to reality. Suggesting that the rabid Tea Partiers are courteous, thoughtful and respectful is patently absurd. Remember that these are the folks who stridently obstructed Town Hall meetings. Their rambling cacophony prevented thoughtful discussion of issues with any kind of reasonable dialogue among local citizens who might have differing perspectives and views. Duly elected representatives, intimidated by strutting thug like machos armed with AK-47s and other rearms were unable to have face-to-face contact with their constituents. Whereas I dont fully approve of all the tactics of the Occupy Wall Street crowd, all the harm they do is cause some inconvenience to innocent people on their way to work. The Tea Party folks activities are far more pernicious they obstruct the exercise of democracy on which the whole American way of life depends.

Importance of property values


Editor, At the Oct. 18 public hearing held by the Redwood City Planning Commission to consider staff-proposed changes to zoning codes affecting Hillside residents, one of the commissioners asked newly hired Community Development Director Bill Ekern if there was some way to protect the property values that were in danger of being reduced by the proposed codes. To our astonishment, Ekern replied that the commissioners had no right to consider property values when analyzing the codes. Really? Since when did city staff become the thought police, telling our elected and appointed ofcials what they were and were not allowed to think when making decisions about the welfare of our community? We can only hope that our representatives reject staffs bad advice and take all the facts into consideration when making such important decisions as whether or not Hillside homeowners will be allowed to improve their properties.

nless employers can and will pay a good deal more for their societys essential labor, those working hard at the edge of poverty will stay there and Americas rapturous hymn to work will sound a sour note. David K. Shipler, The Working Poor. I fail to understand the people who are harshly and unfairly criticizing U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, for trying to nd out what it would be like to try to live on $4.50 a day for food, like many disadvantaged people must. You can feel the sarcasm and hostility oozing from every word. You wonder what is behind such viciousness. Did it occur to these types that maybe she is interested in helping the poor to have better lives and trying to counteract the greedy Republicans who are out to cut programs to help them? Seems the difference here is empathy. People with empathy can imagine and feel the pain of, say, a single mother whose husband ran out on her, leaving her with two young children and no support. She has been trying to live on welfare. Thanks to welfare reform, she has had to go to work. Since she lacks training in anything that would pay better, she has a minimum-wage job with no benets. She has had no reliable care for her children while shes at work, especially when they are sick. After the rent is paid, there is little money for food. While the wealthy are getting their generous tax breaks, welfare mothers are forced to work often under trying circumstances. Others of the working poor barely able to subsist on minimum wage and sometimes exploited by heartless employers live constantly with insecurity, anxiety and despair. It is criminal that we care so little for our disadvantaged children that we make it impossible for so many of their parents to provide for them adequately. Most civilized nations compensate for the inadequacy of wages by providing relatively generous public services, such as health insurance, free or subsidized child care, subsidized housing and effective public transportation. But the U.S., for all its wealth, leaves its citizens to fend for themselves facing market-based rents, for example, on their wages alone We should see the poverty of so many millions of lowwage Americans as a state of emergency. Barbara Ehrenreich, Nickel and Dimed. But youd never convince the self-serving Republicans in Congress that cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy while cutting programs for the poor reeks of callousness and a complete lack of empathy. Try to convince those who could most afford to alleviate this problem by paying higher taxes that accumulating more and more millions does not attest to their worth as human beings. Try to convince the corporate CEOs and others who take advantage of the working poor that for the good of our country the minimum wage should be higher so that those working full time can afford a decent life. While so many corporations operate along these lines and our politicians grovel at their feet, we have developed an underclass of working poor that has little hope of moving up and sharing in the American Dream and enjoying the kind of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness most of us take for granted. Is this what we want our nation to be all about? Speier obviously has good intentions. Maybe because of the disasters she has suffered in her life, she has the extra empathy to feel others pain. Would any of those Republicans who want to cut programs for the poor ever think about how difcult it may be to eat on $4.50 a day? If there were more politicians like Speier, maybe there wouldnt be such a stalemate in Congress. Maybe those billionaires who refuse to part with a little of their wealth would agree to some tax hikes. Maybe there would be fewer greedy corporate ofcers. Maybe our nation wouldnt have the biggest gap between the haves and have-nots of all developed countries. If this was what one letter to the editor writer called a publicity stunt, maybe we need more such stunts if it helps bring to our attention the needs of people who are being written off by the cynical and callous people in Congress. Instead of focusing on Speier who certainly doesnt deserve all that invective, those who demean her should check their Republican congressional representatives and presidential candidates who have a tendency to carry on in pathetically self-serving and sometimes even shameful ways. As Speier said, A compassionless budget is not something I will support. And neither should anyone else. But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. William Butler Yeats.

Stocks edge higher

Wall Street
headlines out of Europe, said Todd Salamone, director of research at Schaeffers Investment Research. But Europes debt woes continued to weigh on markets. Higher interest rates on government debt issued by Italy, Spain and other countries rattled European stock markets Tuesday. The interest rate on Italys 10-year bond jumped back above 7 percent, a dangerously high level. When that rate crossed the 7 percent threshold last week, it raised worries about Italys ability to manage its debts. Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to get rescued by international lenders when their borrowing rates crossed the same level. The Dow rose 17.18 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,096.16. The S&P 500 gained 6.02, or 0.5 percent, to 1,257.81. The Nasdaq added 28.98, or 1.1 percent, to 2,686.20. The prices of assets commonly used as havens from market turmoil, like U.S. government debt and gold, held steady. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note edged up to 2.05 percent from 2.04 percent late Monday. The yield has been below 2.10 percent all month, a sign of strong demand. Gold rose $3.80 to $1,782.20 an ounce.

NEW YORK A day of broad swings in the stock market ended with modest gains Tuesday, as investors balanced an increase in U.S. retail sales with Europes lingering debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 17 points. The Dow ping-ponged between gains and losses for much of the day. It had been down as many as 78 at noon and up as much as 86 points during a late afternoon rally that zzled just before the market closed. Technology stocks had the biggest gains. Intel Corp. rose 2.9 percent a day after Warren Buffett revealed that his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., had bought a stake in the company. HewlettPackard Co. rose 3.4 percent, the most among the 30 stocks in the Dow. Americans spent more on autos, electronics and building supplies in October, raising retail sales for a fth straight month. Sales increased 0.5 percent from the previous month, a faster rate than economists expected and the latest indication that the U.S. economy is likely to avoid another recession. The retail sales report helped the U.S. stock market show a certain degree of resilience in the wake of the negative

Gerons exit symbolic ding for stem cell research


By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Geron Corp. is exiting the eld it pioneered in a calculated business move that underscores the long, costly path embryonic stem cells face to become real-world products. Late Monday, the company said it would halt its study of a stem cell-based treatment for spinal cord injury, the rst embryonic stem cell trial approved in the U.S. Gerons withdrawal leaves a handful

of U.S. companies pursuing medicines using embryonic stem cells, which are capable of morphing into any of the more than 220 cell types in the human body. Scientists hope that one day stem cells might be used to replace or repair damaged tissue from ailments such as heart disease, Parkinsons and stroke. The Menlo Park company had long been viewed as the undisputed leader in stem cell therapies, thanks to patents on technology used to grow, manipulate and inject stem cells into the

human body. The company helped finance researchers at the University of Wisconsin who first isolated human embryonic stem cells in 1998, allowing the cells to be grown in the laboratory. Experts say Gerons departure is more a symbolic setback than a real one, since the vast majority of work in the eld will continue to be funded by government and academic institutions. Geron said it still believes in the potential of stem cells and the company is seeking a partner or buyer for its stem cells division.

Dell expects disk drive shortage to hurt revenue
SAN FRANCISCO Dell is likely to be hampered for a couple quarters by an industry-wide shortage of computer storage drives resulting from the recent ooding in Thailand, the computer maker said Tuesday. Dell predicted full-year revenue near the low end of the guidance it issued in August, which called for revenue growth of 1 percent to 5 percent over 2010 and was in turn a reduction from a previous forecast. Dell Inc. cited the uncertain economy, as well as the disk drive shortage. The Thai ood waters, which started spreading in August, are now receding, but they closed many of Thailands tech-related factories, including a bevy that produce a critical component of personal computers: hard disk drives. During a conference call with analysts to discuss the companys third-quarter results and outlook, Dells executive leading manufacturing, procurement and the supply chain, as well as PC engineering, design and development, said the complexity of the situation makes it hard to determine the scope and length of hard drive shortages. Jeff Clarke said this means the industry must keep an eye on how its allocating its resources at least throughout the rst quarter of next year.

Wal-Marts 3Q results show U.S.turnaround


NEW YORK Wal-Mart got an early Christmas gift: Its strategy of offering the lowest prices and shoppers favorite goods is starting to bear fruit just in time for the holiday shopping season. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Tuesday reported its rst quarterly gain in revenue at stores opened at least a year after nine consecutive quarters of declines at its branded U.S. business. It did this by hammering its message of low prices across the store and restocking the brands and products that people care most about. That the worlds largest retailer is turning a corner is a positive sign for the retail industry and the U.S. economy as a whole. Its core low-income shoppers have been particularly hard hit by joblessness and the other challenges of the nations weak economy. The results indicate that those most hurt by the economic downturn are willing to spend if you offer them rock-bottom pricing.

Consumers hit stores to give economy boost


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Consumers are giving a modest lift to the economy. They spent more on trucks, electronics and building supplies in October to boost retail sales for the fth straight month. The gains provide an encouraging start for the October-December quarter. They come just as separate reports show that wholesale prices are attening and U.S. shoppers are spending more at Wal-Mart, the worlds largest retailer. Still, consumers might not be able to sustain their spending growth if unemployment remains high and pay raises scant. And Europe may be on the brink of a recession that could further slow U.S. growth next year. The consumer has to come through this holiday season if we are going to get back to more decent growth rates, and the early readings are those households have hit the stores quite strongly, said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors. Retail sales rose 0.5 percent from September to October, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Healthy auto sales helped. Even without autos, sales rose by the most since March. And excluding autos and sales at gasoline stations, sales rose 0.7 percent, also the biggest increase since March. A rebound in consumer spending was the key reason why the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the July-September quarter. It was the best quarterly performance in a year. Economists said the October retail sales

data suggest that the economy is growing at roughly the same pace in the nal three months of the year. Consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of economic activity. Stronger growth has helped calm fears that the U.S. economy might be at risk of another recession. Still, economists worry that the spending cant continue at the same pace. Over the summer, consumers spent more while earning less. Many had to dip into their savings to make up the difference. Overall, the economy appears to be growing at a decent clip, said Paul Dales, a senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. Still, Dales added, Consumption cannot grow at a faster rate than incomes indenitely. Many fear Europes debt crisis is on the verge of triggering a recession in the region. The eurozone economy barely grew in the July-September quarter, according to the European Union statistics ofce. It was the second straight quarter of paltry growth. Most economists say growth wont improve in the months ahead. Consumers and govern-

ments in Europe are expected to spend less because of the debt crisis. One positive sign for the U.S. economy: Ination pressures are starting to ease, largely because energy costs have declined. U.S. companies paid less for wholesale goods last month for the rst time since June. And excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core wholesale prices were unchanged. Lower prices mean consumers will have more buying power, potentially boosting consumer spending. A jump in gas and food prices earlier this year had slowed consumption over other goods. October retail sales were 7.2 percent higher than the same month last year. Internet and catalog sales have risen more than 11 percent since then. Consumers also spent more on sporting goods and at hobby and book stores. Auto sales have also rebounded since the Japan earthquake and tsunami. The 0.4 percent rise in October from September followed a 4.2 percent surge in the previous month. Sales have increased 7 percent from the same month last year. In the Miami area, auto sales were decent in October and picked up in the rst half of November, said Ed Williamson, part owner of two Buick-Cadillac-GMC dealerships. People are particular about prices and want incentives, such as low-cost leases, Williamson said. Still, hes optimistic that the slow auto sales recovery in South Florida will continue into next year. I think things started to get better down here in the summer, Williamson said. But at the moment were seeing the most showroom trafc that weve seen all year in the rst two weeks of November.

Police arrest 13 protesting Alabama immigration law
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Police arrested 13 protesters in Alabamas capital Tuesday as they demonstrated against the states strict new law clamping down on illegal immigrants. About 100 people, most of them Hispanic and college-aged, chanted slogans as they marched in light rain around the state Capitol and to the adjacent Statehouse where the legislature works. Undocumented, unafraid, No papers, no fear, immigrants are marching here, and Aint no power like the power of the people, were among the slogans the protestors chanted as they marched. Later, some were hauled off to jail in a yellow bus normally used by the city parks and recreation department. Some sat down on Union Street between the Statehouse and the Capitol when police approached and warned them in English and Spanish that they would be arrested if they didnt move. None did and police arrested 11 demonstrators, tying their hand with yellow straps and loading them into the bus. Federal courts have blocked parts of the Republican-backed law from taking effect, but both supporters and critics still call it the nations toughest state law against illegal immigration.

Arthur Levinson
THE APPOINTMENT: Apple Inc.named Arthur Levinson as its non-executive chairman to ll a vacancy left open when co-founder Steve Jobs died last month. THE BACK STORY: The move rewards a longtime Apple board member who chose it over Google Inc.when the technology giants began to compete with each other.A federal investigation had pressured him to choose one of the board seats. ABOUT LEVINSON: He is chairman of pharmaceuticals company Genentech Inc.and was its CEO from 1995 to 2009. He has been co-lead director of Apples board since 2005 and a member since 2000.
Apple is always focused on out-innovating itself ... and that is something I am very proud to be a part of, he said.

SAN FRANCISCO Apple Inc. has named Arthur Levinson as its non-executive chairman, a move that rewards the longtime Apple board member who chose it over Google Inc. when the technology giants began to compete with each other. Levinson, 61, lls the vacancy left open when co-founder Steve Jobs died last month at age 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Jobs had been chairman for less than two months, a position created when he stepped down as chief executive in August. Robert Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Co., was tapped as a director. The appointments were announced Tuesday. Levinson is chairman of pharmaceuticals company Genentech Inc. He showed his loyalty in 2009 when a federal investigation pressured him to choose between keeping his board seat at Apple or at Internet search leader Google Inc., when the companies had become rivals in mobile devices and Web browsers. Levinson said in a statement that he was honored to be named Apples chairman.

Levinsons allegiance may have been especially appreciated by Jobs, who had become convinced that Google stole iPhones innovative touch-screen operating system to develop its own platform called Android. Jobs antipathy toward Google and its former CEO, Eric Schmidt, was well documented during interviews he gave with his biographer, Walter Isaacson. Schmidt was an Apple board member for three years until he resigned in August 2009 as the rivalry between the two companies grew. Levinson resigned from Googles board two months later. Levinson joined Genentech as a research scientist in 1980 and led it as chief executive from 1995 to 2009. Levinson has been co-lead director on Apple Inc.s board since 2005, serving as co-lead director with Avon Products Inc. CEO Andrea Jung. Levinson joined Apples board in 2000. Disneys Iger repaired frayed relations between Jobs and Disney after he took the reins of the media company in 2005, rst by making ABC shows available on iTunes, and then by leading Disneys acquisition of computer animated movie studio Pixar for $7.4 billion. The Pixar deal made Jobs Disneys largest shareholder.

Post office near default? Losses mount to $5.1B

Lawmakers criticize U.S.aid to creditor China


WASHINGTON Lawmakers say its an insult to the American people: The United States is borrowing money from China only to give some of it right back as foreign aid. And that, they say, is bolstering Chinese businesses that compete with American companies in hard economic times. A House hearing Tuesday provided a venue for Republicans to pounce on the Obama administration when wasteful spending, questionable foreign aid and US-China relations are all hot issues ahead of next years elections. But an administration ofcial told lawmakers there was no money going to the Chinese government or Chinese companies. In fact, it helped American companies trying to do business in China. And the idea for the aid? That actually came from Congress when it was under Republican control.

WASHINGTON The U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday it has lost $5.1 billion in the past year, pushing it closer to imminent default on a multibillion-dollar payment and to future bankruptcy as the weak economy and increased Internet use drive down mail volume. The nancial losses for the year ended Sept. 30 came despite deep cuts of more than 130,000 jobs in recent years and the closing of some smaller local post ofces. Losses will only accelerate in the coming year, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe warned, citing faster-than-expected declines in rst-class mail. He implored Congress to take swift, wide-ranging action to stabilize the ailing agencys nances as it nears a legal

deadline Friday to pay $5.5 billion into the U.S. Treasury for future retiree health benets. Congress is expected to grant a reprieve, but that will only delay the day of reckoning for an agency struggling for relevance in an electronic age. Based on current losses, the Postal Service says it will run out of money or come dangerously close next September, forcing it to halt service. We are at a point where we require urgent action, Donahoe said. In the event of a shutdown, private companies such as FedEx and UPS could handle a small portion of the material the post ofce moves, but they do not go everywhere. No business has shown interest in delivering letters everywhere in the country for a set rate of 44 cents for a rst-class letter. For the scal year ended Sept. 30, the post

ofce had income of $65.7 billion, down $1.4 billion from the previous year. Expenses totaled $70.6 billion. The loss of $5.1 billion was less than a previous estimate of $10 billion, but only because the $5.5 billion payment originally due Sept. 30 was deferred until Nov. 18 with the approval of Congress. In 2010, losses totaled $8.5 billion. Mail volume this past year totaled 168 billion pieces, compared with 171 billion in 2010, a decline of 1.7 percent. At the same time volume was declining, the post ofce was required to begin service to thousands of new addresses to accommodate population growth and new businesses. The Postal Service, an independent agency of government that does not receive tax money for its operations, is not seeking federal funds.

Billionaire heir to Cargill fortune dies in California

Boehner calls tax plan fair offer


WASHINGTON House Speaker John Boehner publicly blessed a Republican decit-reduction plan Tuesday that would raise $300 billion in additional tax revenue while overhauling the IRS code, bucking opposition by some GOP presidential hopefuls and colleagues wary of violating a longstanding point of party orthodoxy. Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, spoke as time grew perilously short for agreement by the deficit-fighting supercommittee. The panel has until a week from Wednesday to vote on any compromise, but several officials said that in reality, perhaps as little as 48 or 72 hours are available to the six Republicans and six Democrats. While Boehners voice is important, his endorsement does not mean all Republicans will follow him or that a deal is in sight. Republicans have been unified for two decades in opposition to higher taxes, w h i l e Democrats on the supercommittee insist on John Boehner additional revenue before they will agree to cuts in benet programs like Medicare as part of a compromise. The speaker said that the plan, outlined a week ago to Democrats on the committee, was a fair offer. Adding tax reform would generate economic growth, he said, speaking as the supercommittee groped uncertainly for a compromise to reduce red ink by $1.2 trillion or more over a decade. Any deal must be certied by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce as meeting the $1.2 trillion target, circulated to lawmakers and then posted publicly before the committee takes formal action. Failure to act would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic decit cuts in 2013 that both sides say they want to avoid. The full committee hasnt met in several days, but various subgroups have been in near constant contact. More than decit reduction is at stake, one year into an era of divided government. Democrats are hoping to add elements of President Barack Obamas jobs legislation to any deficit-cutting deal, including extensions of a Social Security payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that are due to expire at the end of the year. A comprehensive rewrite of farm programs may hang in the balance, too, and lawmakers also must pass legislation to assure sufcient funds to reimburse doctors who treat Medicare patients. As the pace of private talks intensies, the two sides vie publicly for the high ground in public opinion.

INDIAN WELLS Cargill MacMillan Jr., the multibillionaire heir to the Cargill, Inc. agribusiness fortune, has died in Southern California. He was 84. MacMillan died of natural causes shortly after 1 p.m. Monday at his home in Indian Wells, where he was under hospice care, Riverside County sheriffs spokesman Angel Ramos said. MacMillan was worth an estimated $2.6 billion based on his share in the family company, according to Forbes magazine, which placed him and other relatives on its list of the 400 richest Americans. The family, which has a reputation for secrecy, holds 88 percent of Cargill. The Minnesota-based conglomerate, founded in 1865, has international interests that range from cocoa plantations to livestock and steel mills to commodities trading. It is the largest private company in the world, with nearly $119.5 billion

in revenue and 138,000 employees in 63 countries. Cargill made headlines earlier this year when it recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey Cargill following backMacMillan Jr. to-back salmonella incidents that were linked to one death and 129 illnesses across the country. The company also reported its scal rst-quarter earnings fell 66 percent amid a volatile global grain market. While MacMillan was a longtime board member, he had no day-to-day role in the company. The Yale graduate and his wife, Donna, moved from Minnesota to Indian Wells in 1990 and were philanthropists, donating a $20 million art collection to the Palm Springs Art Museum, the Desert Sun newspaper reported.

Athlete of the Week


always wondered that when Ive watched other races. Ive always wondered what it would feel like to be out front. Its an exhilarating experience and I was very fortunate do that. Saturday afternoon at the Central Coast Section championship, Kohn lived his fantasy, ending a race that began not at the start line, but two years ago as a sophomore lying in bed battling the swine u. And then a year after that, nursing a stress fracture in his foot. Kohn had to watch as two of his seasons ended with illness and injury. But last weekend, with the clock reading 16:48 and everyone in Division V behind him, Kohn nished his race, his two-plus year journey, before everyone else in CCS. He nished it as a champion. For his efforts, Kohn is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. Kohns nish at the CCS championship began a dominating performance by the Gryphons in capturing the boys title. All ve of Crystal Springs scorers nished in the top 10, with their two other runners crossing at No. 12 and No. 26 respectively. But it was the seniors battle, after two years of having to watch from the sidelines, that is a

All Jake Kohn wanted to do was nish. Every year, hundreds upon hundreds of runners take to the cross country course at Crystal Springs in Belmont the hilly terrain serving as a 2.38 mile test of endurance and athletic prowess. And time and time again, that nish line is conquered. But for Kohn, a senior on the Crystal Springs Upland cross country team, the nish line on said course was more than white chalk marking the nale of another race. It was a symbol. A lesson. A dream. I always imagined what it would feel like to take the lead in a race, Kohn said. Ive

For the rst time since 2007, and only the second time since 1997, the CCS boys water polo playoffs will not feature the Menlo Knights in its Division II championship match. The Los Altos players celebrated like they had just won CCS Tuesday night, splashing around the Serra High pool after pulling off the upset of the tournament, beating secondseeded Menlo 11-8 to advance to the CCS nals. The Eagles will face the No. 1 seeded Sacred Heart Prep Gators in Saturdays nal. I expected a really close game, said Menlo coach Jack Bowen. Los Altos is a good, wellrounded team. Theyre well-coached. Im not surprised in the least bit that this game was close. There is a sense of surprise in the air thats not resonating with me right now. Not because we lost, but because we stuck with the game plan and did what we wanted to do. They just scored more than we did. Los Altos deserves a lot of credit for battling back the way they did Tuesday night. Down 74 at the half, the Eagles outscored the Knights 7-1 in the second half and shutout the Menlo is the games final quarter, forcing five turnovers in the frame. We werent putting shots away, Bowen said. We have our system, they have their system and their team ended up on top. I guess I should feel angry, but I dont, because thats the way athletics is supposed to be. Both teams played a clean game. It was a great battle. It was a ght the Knights looked in control of from the on set. Even with the score 3-2 in the rst quarter, in a frame where the teams traded one goal for the next, there was still a sense of superiority by the defending CCS champions. Not only that, but the ball was oating Menlos way on all three goals, the ball found the touch of Los Altos keeper Cameron Putnam, only to trickle its way into the net.

Gators survive and advance

Sacred Heart Preps Zack Churukian winds up for a shot during the Gators 16-13 win over Soquel in the CCS Division II seminals Tuesday night.

It was deja vu all over again for the Sacred Heart Prep boys water polo team in the Central Coast Section Division II semifinals Tuesday night. Last season, Soquel gave the Gators all they could handle in the same round. The Knights led the Gators by three goals before falling 12-11. Fast forward to this year and once again, Sacred Heart Prep faced Soquel in the Division II seminals Tuesday night at the Serra Aquatic Center. After watching the Gators score the rst three goals to start the game, the Knights came roaring back to tie and then led or were tied until the fourth period. A 5-meter penalty shot goal from Max Schell gave the Knights a 13-12 lead with 4:35 to play and there was feeling the Knights would not be denied

this time. Sacred Heart Prep, however, responded. The Gators outscored the Knights 4-0 the rest of the way to pull out a 16-13 win and advance to the CCS Division II championship match for the ninth straight year. This (Soquel) team, to me, is the most dangerous team in CCS, said Sacred Heart Prep coach Brian Kreutzkamp. They have all the tools and the best player in CCS in Schell. Kreutzkamp said the plan was to try limiting Schell and make the rest of the Knights beat the top-seeded Gators. The Gators accomplished their mission, holding Schell to just three goals. The rest of the Knights, however, nearly did their job. Im happy with (my team), said Soquel coach Marcelo Adas. Im happy they showed some heart. Today, we were closer than ever. We

were controlling the game. We played the No. 1 seed and we showed we got some players, too. Sacred Heart Prep countered Schell with a big-time player of its own in Harrison Enright, who is only a sophomore. He was nearly unstoppable, nishing with seven goals. Hes going to have a bright future, Kreutzkamp said. He drew four or five kickouts at set. Kreutzkamp said that was the key to the fourth quarter when Soquel lost Max Draga to his third kickout which meant he was done for the match. The Gators offense nally found a ow, while Soquel nally slowed down. You could say we ran out of gas, Adas said. But (the difference) was a couple of missed opportunities. Along with a controversial call. With 20 seconds left in the third

CSM pulls away from Laney,preps for bowl game


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The College of San Mateo football team shook off the disappointment of two straight losses to close the regular season on a high note last weekend, beating Laney of Oakland 41-13. Back on track. (A) good way to nish the regular season, said Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. The guys showed up to play. (They) did all the things we were supposed to do. Although the nal score was lopsided, the game was close in the rst half. CSM (3-2 NorCal Conference, 7-3 overall) led 14-7 after the rst quarter, but both teams went scoreless in the second. The Bulldogs led 20-13 at the end of three before outscoring the Eagles 21-0 over the nal 15 minutes. It was a little back and forth in the rst quarter, rst half. We really got rolling in the second half and broke it open, Tulloch said. It was

one of those game that was a tough grind in the rst half. CSM racked up 414 yards of total offense, with 358 coming on the ground. Quarterback Jonathan Willis led the way with 80 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown run, on just six carries. Bill Nyantyaki added 48 on ve carries and also scored. Quarterback Miles Freeman also scored a pair of touchdowns. The win gives the Bulldogs momentum heading into Saturdays Bothman Bulldog Bowl at 1 p.m. at CSM, where they will host Diablo Valley College, which nished the season 8-2, good for second place in the Golden Gate Conference. It is also a matchup of two teams ranked in the top 10 in Northern California. CSM is ranked No. 7 in Northern California, while DVC is one spot below at No. 8. Both teams should be familiar with one another as the Vikings played in the NorCal Conference during the 2008-09 seasons. Not that Tulloch expects that to be any kind of advantage.

(DVC has) the same coaching staff, Tulloch said. When there is familiarity, it helps both staffs. The teams share a pair of common opponents: Chabot-Hayward and Santa Rosa. The Bulldogs went 2-0 against those teams, while DVC beat Santa Rosa, but lost to the Gladiators. The loss to Chabot cost the Vikings a share of the conference title. Again, not that success against common opponents gives either team a leg up in Saturdays game. Its (all about) matchups, Tulloch said. The way we match up with them is interesting. They have some high-caliber, highly recruited guys. Theyre a team that deserves to be right with (the top) A (league teams). The Vikings feature a similar spread-offense attack that the Bulldogs run, but might actually be a bit more balanced. While CSM depends on the run to keep its offense humming, DVC does it through the air, averaging 255 yards

passing per game, in addition to over 200 yards rushing per game. CSM counters with a ground attack that is averaging nearly 320 yards per game. They spread it out and they throw it all over, Tulloch said. DVC is right in there with Fresno and Butte (when it comes to offense). Theyre one of top-three offenses well face all year.

Nine Bulldogs named to all-conference teams


Following a third-place nish in the NorCal Conference, CSM had seven players named to the all-conference rst team and two others named to the second team. On offense, freshman running back Jarrell Brown and sophomore offensive lineman Hoko Fanaika were named to the rst team. Brown nished second on the team in scoring with 12 touchdowns, accounting for 72 points. He led the Bulldogs in rushing with 512 yards, good for 5.4 yards per carry. Fanaika was a unanimous pick by the NorCal

Conference coaches, and has a shot at All-State and All-America honors. On the defensive side of the ball, ve players were named to the rst team: two defensive backs, two linebackers and a defensive lineman. Defensive back Nate Jackson, a freshman, tied for second in conference play with ve interceptions including two last week against Laney. Joining him is backfield mate sophomore Alex Hubbard, who had three picks and also broke up 10 passes this season, good for third in the conference. Sophomore linebacker Justin Sagote was named to the all-conference team for the second year in row. Making his debut was freshman Tevita Lataimua, who led the conference in tackles, making 8.2 per game. Sophomore defensive lineman Barrett Wangara was also named to the rst team. Second-team honors went to sophomore offensive lineman Paul Bevilaqua and defensive lineman Lyman Laoliou.

Lady Bulldogs finish third in Mendocino tourney

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After showing well in the Super Scrimmage for Cancer two weeks ago, the CSM womens basketball team tipped off the season for real at the Mendocino tournament over the weekend. The Bulldogs went 2-1 in the tournament to nish in third place. They opened the tournament with a

68-57 win over Diablo Valley College, but fell to Sierra, 77-59. They rebounded to beat rival Skyline in their nal game, 67-63. The weekend, overall, was good, said CSM coach Michelle Warner. They learned how to hold on to a lead. The Bulldogs also found areas they need to work on during practice. In the loss to Sierra, CSM missed 18 free throws. The margin

of defeat? Eighteen points. We want to be averaging 70 points per game, Warner said. Our point total would be higher if our free-throw shooting was better. One area of improvement, however, is in the turnover department. The Bulldogs averaged 17 during the three games, and while that may sound like a lot, Warner believes its a price that has to be paid playing an up-tempo game.

Wed like it be to be 15 or less (per game), Warner said. We like to run, so well create a lot of turnovers. But well also turn the ball over. The Bulldogs also learned what kind of resiliency they have. They built a big lead against Skyline, leading by as many as 20 points, before holding on for a four-point win. Warner said injuries and foul problems reduced her to team to just

six or seven bodies available for the end against the Trojans. In addition to the third-place nish, wing player Hannan Salah was named to the all-tournament team. The sophomore, who transferred from Foothill after a high school career at Vintage High School in Napa, averaged 10 points and seven rebounds in the three games. Guard

Paterno has not been charged with any crime, and state prosecutors have said he is not a target. Curley and Schultz are accused of breaking the law by not going to police but maintain their innocence. McQuearys actions also have been scrutinized, with some critics suggesting he didnt do enough after witnessing what he said was the sexual abuse of a child. Emails to McQueary from the AP were not immediately a n s w e r e d Tuesday. Jerry Sandusky McQuearys remarks in the email to his friend came less than a day after former assistant coach Jerry Sanduskys admission that he showered with and horsed around with boys stunned legal observers. Sanduskys comments, they said, could be used by prosecutors trying to convict him of child sex abuse charges. Experts in criminal law and crisis management questioned Sanduskys decision to give a TV interview in which he said that there was no

Email,TV talk add new twists to Penn State case


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. A former Penn State graduate assistant cited by a grand jury report as claiming he saw an ex-assistant football coach sexually abusing a young boy in a campus locker room shower says in an email he made sure the act was stopped and then went to police contradicting what the report says. Mike McQuearys comments, in an email made available to The Associated Press on Tuesday, appeared to add more confusion to a scandal that has enveloped the university and resulted in the ring of head coach Joe Paterno, the ousting of president Graham Spanier and charges of perjury against the athletic director and a senior vice president. McQueary, now the football

abuse and that any activities in a campus shower with a boy were just horseplay, not molestation. Mr. Sandusky goes on worldwide television and admits he did everything the prosecution claims he did, except for the ultimate act of rape or sodomy? If I were a prosecutor, Id be stunned, said Lynne Abraham, the former district attorney of Philadelphia. I was stunned, and then I was revolted. Abraham, who led a grand jury probe involving 63 accused priests from the Philadelphia archdiocese, was retained this week to lead an internal investigation of Sanduskys charity, The Second Mile, from which hes accused of culling his victims. Sandusky is charged with abusing eight boys over the span of 15 years. He told NBC on Monday that he is

NBA players file antitrust lawsuits


By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Locked-out NBA players including Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant led class-action antitrust lawsuits against the league on Tuesday in at least two states, saying David Sterns ultimatums left them no other choice. Attorney David Boies, who represented the NFL during that sports work stoppage and now has been brought aboard by basketballs players, said the NBA lockout violates antitrust laws by refusing to allow players to work. Boies added that Sterns ultimatum

to the now-disbanded union to accept the owners last economic model or face a harsher proposal turned out to be a mistake that strengthens the players case because it proves that the collective bargaining process had ended. If youre in a poker game, and you run a bluff, and the bluff works, youre a hero. If someone calls your bluff, you lose. I think the owners overplayed their hand, Boies said at the players association headquarters. They did a terric job of taking a very hard line and pushing the players to make concession after concession after concession, but greed is not only a terrible thing its a dan-

gerous thing. Dangerous enough to cost the league billions of dollars in damages if players win. The players are seeking treble damages meaning triple the amount of the more than $2 billion they would have made under a full 2011-12 season for what they argue is irreparable harm by preventing them from playing in their very short NBA careers. We havent seen Mr. Boies complaint yet, but its a shame that the players have chosen to litigate instead of negotiate, NBA spokesman Tim Frank said in a statement. They warned us from the

early days of these negotiations that they would sue us if we didnt satisfy them at the bargaining table, and they appear to have followed through on their threats. Boies acknowledged that the case could take months, but hoped there would be a settlement before too long. Nobody can tell you how long its going to take. We all know its possible to delay lawsuits for a while, but I think it is in everybodys interest to try to resolve this promptly, said Boies, speaking on behalf of the California ling. The longer it goes on, the greater the damages that the teams will face, the greater the dam-

ages that the players will suffer, and perhaps most important of all, the longer basketball fans will be deprived of basketball. So we hope that this will move quickly. He insisted the players have shown their willingness to negotiate throughout. You cant negotiate by yourself, he said. You can only negotiate if youve got somebody whos willing to sit down and negotiate with you. The two suits one led in conjunction with the players association in the Northern District of California and another led in Minnesota likely were led with a favorable venue in mind.

Coach K alone atop Division I wins list


By Jim OConnell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Mike Krzyzewski passed Bob Knight, then spent some special time with his former coach. The man known simply as Coach K became Division Is winningest coach when No. 6 Duke beat Michigan State 74-69 on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic. The Blue Devils (3-0) gave Krzyzewski his 903rd win, breaking the tie with Knight, Krzyzewskis college coach at Army and his mentor throughout his professional career. Junior guard Andre Dawkins had 26 points for Duke, which took con-

trol with a 20-1 run that gave the Blue Devils a 61-41 lead with 9:17 to play. Then it was just a matter of counting down the minutes until the celebration Mike could get under Krzyzewski way. With Knight sitting across the court at the ESPN broadcast table, and with several former players in the stands many able to attend because of the ongoing NBA lockout Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison Square Garden.

Krzyzewski went right across the court to Knight when the game ended. They were cheek to cheek in a hug. Krzyzewski, tears in his eyes, broke away and Knight pulled him back, hands on his shoulders, then one nal slap of the shoulder. I just told Coach I love him, Krzyzewski said. I wouldnt be in this position without him. Its a moment shared. I know hes very proud and Im very proud to have been somebody whos worked under him and studied him and tried to be like him. It wasnt the Cameron Crazies cheering their coach on after a few nights waiting and sleeping in Krzyzewskiville. But a pro-Duke crowd started to get loud as the Blue

Devils took control in the second half, as well as the fans from Michigan State, Kentucky and Kansas and a bunch of regular old New Yorkers including immaker and New York Knicks fan Spike Lee. The basketball gods are good ... they put two guys whove done a lot in the game together, special moments, and tonight is another one of those special moments, Krzyzewski said of Knights presence at the historic game. Dawkins, who had six 3-pointers, and Ryan Kelly hits 3s to start Dukes big run. As Michigan State (0-2) kept missing shots down low, Seth Curry hit another 3 for Duke and then the Blue Devils closed the run by making 6 of 6 attempts at the free throw line.

The Spartans kept Krzyzewski coaching to the nal minute. They nally started hitting shots and forcing turnovers to close to 74-69 with 12.9 seconds left. Curry had 20 points while Kelly added 14 for the Blue Devils, who were 10 of 21 from 3-point range. Its a special moment, Krzyzewski said of his family and former players being there. At halftime I wasnt sure we were going to have this moment. We beat a really good team and Im glad now we can just move on and just develop our team. Keith Appling had 22 points for Michigan State and Brandon Wood added 15. The Spartans nished with 21 turnovers.

Verlander unanimous AL Cy Young winner


By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK There was little question Justin Verlander would unanimously win the AL Cy Young Award. Now, the far more intriguing question: Will he take the MVP, too? Do I think its possible? Yes. Would I like to win it? Of course, he said during a conference call. Its kind of a weird scenario. No starting pitcher has won the MVP trophy since Roger Clemens in 1986, with Dennis Eckersley the last reliever to get it in 1992. Many say pitchers shouldnt win the MVP, period, contending they already have their own award. But Verlanders season he won the pitching version of the Triple Crown, led Detroit to its rst division crown in 24 years and drew every rst-place vote Tuesday in the Cy Young race has ratcheted up

the debate in a crowded MVP field that includes Curtis Granderson, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jose Bautista, Miguel Cabrera and more. Pitchers are Justin on the ballot, Verlander Verlander said. Bolstering the case for all pitchers, Verlander pointed to the tremendous effect we have on the day of our game. Im so different from everybody, he said. If he doesnt win, Verlander said hed like to see Granderson, his former teammate, get the award. Verlander breezed to the Cy Young, much the way the Tigers ace humbled hitters with his 100 mph fastball, sharp curve and

wicked slider. Verlander led the majors in wins by going 24-5 and topped baseball with 250 strikeouts. His 2.40 ERA was the best among AL pitchers who qualied for the title. The 28-year-old righty was listed on top on all 28 ballots by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America and nished with 196 points. Jered Weaver (18-8, 2.41) of the Los Angeles Angels was the only other pitcher listed on every ballot and second with 97 points. James Shields of Tampa Bay was third with 66, followed by CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees with 63. Tigers reliever Jose Valverde, who was perfect in 49 save chances, was fth with 28. Since the end of the season, people have been saying that the Cy Young is wrapped up, said Verlander, who added he waited until

the announcement to celebrate. Verlander pitched his second career no-hitter, won 12 straight starts down the stretch and helped the Tigers take the AL Central. In many games, he was simply unhittable. He pitched a no-hitter on May 7 at Toronto, missing a perfect game just by an eighth-inning walk on a full-count delivery. In his next start, he held Kansas City hitless for 5 2-3 innings. Johnny Vander Meer is the only pitcher to throw back-to-back no-hitters. Later in the season, the 6-foot-5 star took a pair of no-hit bids into the eighth inning one of those came on July 31 against Weaver and the Angels, a 3-2 win at Detroit. I felt like it was a statement game, Verlander said. A lot of people had eyes on that game. Verlander also led the majors with 251 innings, all while issuing a career-low 57 walks. He pitched four

complete games, including two shutouts. This was the ninth time there was a unanimous winner of the AL Cy Young and rst since Johan Santana in 2006, when he won the AL pitching Triple Crown. Verlander said he remembered watching Santana that year. Thats a big league pitcher, Verlander recalled telling himself. Thats a stud. This was the fourth time a Detroit pitcher won it, with Denny McLain earning the award in 1968 and tying for the honor in 1969, and reliever Willie Hernandez winning in 1984. McLain, in 1968, and Hernandez went on to win the AL MVP awards, too. A four-time All-Star, Verlander became the rst former AL Rookie of the Year to also take the Cy Young. This win included a $500,000 bonus to his $12.75 million salary in 2011.

nish. He just shakes his head and keeps going. Kohn nished the race and went to see the doctor who informed him that he had a stress fracture in his foot, thus putting an end to his junior season. I ended up having to do crutches for eight or nine weeks, Kohn said. I was on them for three weeks and I thought, I cant do this anymore, I have to get back. But I got off too soon and I had to go back on them. That was rough. Kohn saw his junior season streak past him and disappointed all he could do was wait for his senior year. Going into this year, I really just wanted to have a complete season and see what I can do, Kohn said. So far, Ive been very fortunate. Not only has he been fortunate, but hes been good. But his success has come through countless hours recovering and preparing for the new year. Kohn nished fourth in the league championships and come the CCS championships, it came time to go out with a bang. I wasnt sure if it had really gone away, Kohn said of his stress fracture. So I was very neurotic about the whole thing to tell you the truth constantly wondering. I was very worried. But I was able to get through it. Kohn did more than just that. I put everything I had into that race, Kohn said. I gave it everything I had. And so did my teammates. For Kohn and the Gryphons, the season isnt over just yet. With their rst place nish at CCS, theyll be participating in the CIF State meet. And for the senior who never gave up, itll mark another opportunity to cross another nish line, both literal and gurative the latter being the most important. What was especially astonishing about Sanduskys interview was when he stumbled over the question about whether he was sexually attracted to children, said crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall, who runs a Washington consulting rm. That may not be legal proof that hes guilty, but it is certainly not helpful, to struggle with the question, Dezenhall said. The state grand jury investigation that led to Sanduskys arrest followed a trail that goes back at least 13 years, leading to questions from some quarters about whether law enforcement moved too slowly.

CSM

Kimmie Fung, a sophomore out of Mercy-San Francisco, also had a strong tournament showing, averaging just over 12 points per game and 5.7 rebounds. Vanessa Castillo was a third player in double gures scoring, with 11 in the three games. The offense is geared through [Salah] and Kimmie, Warner said. Added Salah: Were just getting started. Salah transferred to CSM because she was looking to get more out of herself and her junior college experience. She spent most of her freshman year on the bench at Foothill. I felt like I had a lot to offer (a team), Salah said. I was looking for new opportunities. Salah was a captain in high school who, pretty much did everything. Hannan, who is built more for the small forward spot, has been moved to the power forward position, meaning she will play with her back to the basket a lot. The small forward usually faces up a defender and tries to take them off the dribble. Initially it was a huge adjustment, Salah said. Warner acknowledges Salah would be more comfortable in the small forward slot, but needs her rebounding abilities she gets from her at power forward. If I had more post (players), shed be more [small forward], Warner said. With her as aggressive as she is and as tenacious she is for the rebound, its nice to have her near the baskets for rebounds. The Bulldogs will return to the court this weekend for their home opener when they host Feather River at 2 p.m. Saturday.

story of inspiration and perseverance. Jake is one of two captains on the team, and hes just such a good kid, said Crystal Springs coach Albert Caruana. I think he learned that youre in it for the long run. He had to work hard at every practice and really push himself. This year he really focused on staying healthy. There lay the key for Kohn, who in 2009, a couple of days removed from posting a personal record at the Stanford meet, came down with a severe case of the swine u that had him bed ridden for three weeks and physically disabled him to nish his rst varsity season. I was just beginning to hit my stride, Kohn said recalling his sophomore season. When I came down with the swine u, it hit me very hard. I know of people whove had it and bounced back. But it knocked me out. I had to miss a week of school. It was really a frustrating way to end (the season). Kohn recovered, played baseball in the spring and starting training for cross country again in the summer. Once the new season began, the junior showed a lot of promise and was the leader of the new Gryphons team. But then, while running in a meet at San Bruno mountain, Kohn suffered another setback. We were running in our rst league meet, Caruana said. And I see the leaders go by and Jake should have been with them and I dont see him. Then, I see him coming and hes limping and Im like, Hey, stop. But hes just determined to

Sports brief
U.S. offense awakens in 3-2 win at Slovenia
In the fog at Stozice Stadium, the U.S. offense became visible for the rst time since Jurgen Klinsmann became coach. On a night when the Americans celebrated captain Carlos Bocanegras 100th international appearance, Edson Buddle, Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore all scored Tuesday to give the United States a 3-2 victory over Slovenia in Ljubljana. We have a three-month break until our next game, so to get the win tonight was the biggest thing for us, said Bocanegra, who became the 12th American to reach the century mark. It wasnt the prettiest game weve played, but the result was what we were looking for. The Americans had been outscored 5-2 in going 1-4-1 since Klinsmann replaced Bob Bradley in late July, and they had been 0-5 in Europe since a March 2008 victory at Poland. Klinsmann switched to a 4-4-2 formation, starting two true forwards for the rst time in his seven matches. The change led to far more scoring chances on a 36-degree night with fog coming off the Alps. Thats the rst time that I have ever played in a game with that much fog, Dempsey said. You couldnt really see from one end of the pitch to the other. Buddle scored his third goal in 10 appearances, and his rst since June 2010 against Australia, after Handanovics attempted clearance was stripped by Dempsey from Darijan Matic. Dempsey tipped the ball to Buddle, who put the ball in off a post from 25 yards.

Tiger and ex-caddie in the same match


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia The Presidents Cup wasted no time delivering the match everyone was talking about Tiger Woods against excaddie Steve Williams in the opening session at Royal Melbourne. Oh, yes, and three other players will join them. U.S. captain Fred Couples and International captain Greg Norman, hopeful of putting an end to a threemonth soap opera involving Woods and Williams, put them together in the last of six foursomes matches Thursday. I think its great for the tournament, Norman said. It needed to be done. Lest anyone forget, Williams will be carrying the bag of Adam Scott, not hitting any golf shots. On paper it will be Woods and Steve Stricker, undefeated as a tandem two years ago at Harding Park, against K.J. Choi and Scott, the popular Australian who hired Williams after Woods red his caddie of 12 years this summer. For sheer drama, its more about Woods and Williams. It will be the rst time they have been in the same group of any tournament since Woods ofcially red him in late July. Norman expects nothing but a good match between four players, with four other guys carrying their bags. Im sure Freddie and I everybody we want to put this behind us, Norman said. Its a dead issue as far as were concerned. Theres no animosity between any of the players. I know its good fodder. People

like to talk about it in the media. But from our perspective, its dead and gone. And we would like to keep that way going forward. The acrimonious split became evident when Scott won the Bridgestone Invitational, and Williams allowed himself to be interviewed on the 18th green at Firestone and called it the best win of my life. This from a caddie who was with Woods for 13 of his majors. While getting roasted in Shanghai two weeks ago at a caddies party, Williams was asked about the interview while accepting his mock Celebration of the Year award and said, It was my aim to shove it up his black a------. Williams later apologized, Scott said it was enough for him, and even Woods tried to close the ordeal by saying they shook hands in a gym in Sydney and saying that Williams was not a racist. Norman and Couples said the match wasnt planned, although both could have chosen to avoid it. In the Presidents Cup, each captain takes turn putting his team in one of the six matches. With each announced match, anticipation kept building until it came down to Couples. Norman had put K.T. Kim and Y.E. Yang in the fth match. Couples could have inserted Woods and Stricker, but instead went with Hunter Mahan and David Toms. That sealed it. Whos left? U.S. assistant captain Jay Haas as the room lled with laughter. Norman said he did discuss it with Scott, and with his two assistant captains. The idea was to get it over with. match at 10. It turned out to be a big call. When the Knights scored with six seconds left, it only gave them a one-goal lead, 11-10, heading into the nal seven minutes, instead of two. I dont like to complain, but the ball didnt look like it went in, Adas said. It kind of shifted the momentum.

Menlo appeared to take control in the second quarter, outscoring the Eagles 4-2 in the frame. Jack Lucas added his second and third goals in that quarter. Nick Hale scored his second. Cameron Walker found the back of the net as well. Los Altos did outshoot the Knights 10-7 in the period, but Menlo was just more effective. That changed in the second half. Los Altos scored the quarters rst two goals, both by Matthew Orton, to pull within a goal of the Knights. Following Schells 5-meter penalty shot, Sacred Heart Preps Zack Churukian stole the ball from the Soquel hole set and swam the length of the pool, burying his shot to tie the score at 13 with 3:36 left. Churukians goal 36 seconds later, off an assist from goalie Will Runkel, who assisted on the Gators nal three goals, gave the Gators their rst lead since a 3-2 advantage

Orton had a strong game inside for the Eagles, but with 49 seconds left in the quarter, following another Hale goal, it was Adam Warmoths score from six meters out that swung the momentum in Los Altos favor. The fourth quarter was all Eagles. Ian McColls goal with 4:29 left tied things up at eight and on the man advantage a little more than a minute later, Ortons one-timer on a pretty pass by McColl gave Los Altos the lead for good. We were getting the exact shots we wanted, Bowen said of his fourth quarter offense. We just didnt put them away. Los Altos took advantage of another kick-out to cushion their in the rst period. Churukian nished with four goals in the game. Goals from Max McKelvy and Brett Hinrichs rounded out the scoring for the Gators. The match had the makings of a Sacred Heart Prep blowout when they scored on their rst three shots of the game to take a 3-0 lead less than three minutes into the match.

And following a couple defensive stops, it was Paul Bergevins emptynetter with less than a minute remaining that put the nail in the proverbial cofn for the Eagles. Nick Goldman had four steals on defense for Menlo and Alexander Carlisle tallied four assists. Lucas and Hale nished their high school careers with hat tricks. The loss marks only the third this season the Knights have allowed more than 10 goals in game. Connor Dillon had nine saves for Menlo. Our goal every year is to be our best, Bowen said, its never to win CCS. Just be your best. We did that today. But Soquel answered with a fourgoal outburst to take a 4-3 lead with less than a minute to play in the opening period.

The Colonel had more than one secret


By Bruce Scheiner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Paula Deen, step aside. Colonel Harland Sanders is about to teach America real old-time country and farm cooking before its forgotten. Yes, Colonel Sanders. On yellowed pages hidden for decades, the white-jacketed man with a special fried chicken recipe and a vision that helped create the modern fast-food industry reveals he saw a future in another lucrative market celebrity food books. The recent discovery of an unpublished manuscript written by the founder of KFC shows that while Sanders was helping build Kentucky Fried Chicken into a global brand, he was recording his life and love of food and recipes for the world. No, not THAT recipe. Sanders secret mix of 11 herbs and spices remains locked inside the companys vault.

But the manuscript from the mid-1960s, found recently by an employee rummaging through KFCs archives, again shows that the man who started the worlds most popular chicken chain from a Social Security check and his secret recipe was a man before his time. This is a new kind of book, Sanders wrote in the rst chapter of an approximately 200page, typewritten manuscript that KFC plans to offer up on the Internet. Theres never been another written like it as far as I know. Its the story of a mans life and the story of the food hes cooked and eaten, running right along with it. The half-inch-thick document is chock full of homespun anecdotes and life lessons from Sanders, who struck it rich late in life. It also includes a heaping helping of his favorite personal recipes. To me, my recipes are priceless, he wrote. You can say that again. The secret blend of herbs and spices, one of

the most enduring corporate secrets in American food folklore, isnt revealed in the manuscript, KFC executives say. But the Colonel proved he was more than a chicken man. On these pages are preserved his personal recipes for omelets, pancakes, casseroles, pies and many more dishes that he said reected his afnity for real old-time country and farm cooking. Its a veritable smorgasbord of main dishes, side dishes, desserts and sauces. And the man who built the KFC chain by cooking up batches of chicken for prospective franchisees promised to offer insights into his culinary style: Ill be telling you how to prepare it like a man whos talking to you right over your kitchen stove, he wrote. The company is treating the manuscript like its own Holy Grail. The manuscript is tucked inside KFCs electronic safe in a vault at its Louisville headquarters. It sits next to the Colonels famous handwritten chicken recipe.

While Colonel Sanders was helping build Kentucky Fried Chicken into a global brand,he recorded his life and love of food.

Blend meats,shrimp for a delicious party treat


hrimp, sausage and bison... Together! On a stick! Roll with me on this one. These Middle Eastern-style skewers combine a potent but delicious seasoning blend (gobs of black pepper and ground star anise) with a mix of ground sausage, bison and shrimp. The result is deliciously meaty and warmly spicy. And since the holidays are a time to entertain, we prepared these as tiny party-friendly skewers. If youd prefer them for dinner, you could use larger skewers with more meat (youll need to adjust the cooking time). You also can skip the sticks entirely and form them into meatballs. While I favored bison in this blend because it is naturally lean, you also could use lean ground beef or turkey. If you want to offer a simple dipping sauce for these skewers, mix together equal parts

toasted sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar and soy sauce, as well as a bit of garlic powder and nely diced fresh chives.

Time for holiday cookies


he holidays are here... and my bathroom scale is getting nervous. Packing on pounds used to be one of my holiday traditions. That is, it was until I gured out how to put certain holiday foods on a diet. And that is the trick to navigating the holidays in a way that lets you enjoy yourself without scaring your scale. Holiday cookies are a great example. One typical sugar cookie can weigh in with as many as 150 calories. For perspective youd have to shovel snow for 30 minutes to work off a single cookie! And who can stop at just one cookie? When you put holiday cookies on a diet, its not just a matter of swapping out all the sugar with articial sweeteners. In baking cookies, sugar does a lot more than sweeten. It adds volume and it caramelizes. It also makes your cookies moist. Articial sweeteners cant do that. In this recipe, Ive opted for a natural sugar palm sugar (also called coconut sugar). Resembling brown sugar, its made from the sap of palm trees. Palm sugar contains tiny amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, riboavin and thiamin, as well as trace amounts of protein. Its widely available in international and natural foods stores. For a punch of crunch, the our base is whole-wheat pastry our. And theres virtually no fat in these cookies. You wont miss it, thanks to a blend of sweet potato and egg whites, which help stretch the butter. And since it is the holidays, we cant leave off the icing (made healthy with fat-free cream cheese). The result? A typical spice cookie can have 220 calories and 12 grams of fat. Mine has just 2 grams of fat and 55 calories. Now that is something to feel festive about!

Wine gift giving tips for novices


By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trendy, tasty and one-size-ts-all, wine is a versatile holiday gift, whether youre on your way to a house-warming or looking out for something for the in-laws. But navigating the world of wine can be a trial for the novice vinophile. Enter wine experts, who have a few tips on how not to send the wrong message in a bottle.

RECON THE RECIPIENT


A good starting place when buying wine as a gift is to gure out what you know about the recipient, says Natalie MacLean, editor of the widely read wine website, NatalieMaclean.com. Even if thats only whether they like a full-bodied wine, a light red or a particular region, a little know-how can help to personalize the gift. (And, of course, you do need to know if they like wine. Splurge on a pricey cab for a teetotaler and youll miss the boat completely.) Interests are another way to personalize the selection, says Jordan Salcito, a sommelier and wine director of Crown Restaurant in New York City. Did the person just come back from a trip to Sicily? A bottle of Sicilian wine might be a nice touch. Or, if you know the person doesnt like shellsh but loves steak, buy a hearty red. Create a story or connect some dots, says Salcito.

ROCCO DISPIRITO

For best results,bake these cookies on the ovens upper rack.

HEALTHY HOLIDAY SPICE COOKIES


Start to nish: 30 minutes Makes 12 cookies 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 tablespoons unrened palm sugar or jaggery 3 packets stevia sweetener powder 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Pinch ground cloves 2 tablespoons pureed cooked, peeled sweet potato 2 tablespoons liquid egg white 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry our 1 tablespoon ax seed meal 2 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese, softened Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, palm sugar, 2 packets of the stevia, the baking powder, nutmeg and cloves. Mix until well combined. Add the sweet potato, egg white and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, then mix until combined. Beat in the our and ax seed meal.

TIPS:
For best results, bake these cookies on the ovens upper rack. For even baking, use clean baking sheets. Brown or burned sheets will affect the browning of the cookies. If you prefer, use ground cinnamon instead of the nutmeg and cloves.

Shape the dough into a round, at disk. Place the disk between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Place the dough on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is very rm. Remove the dough from the freezer and peel off the top sheet of paper. Use 2 1/2- to 3inch cookie cutters to cut out 12 cookies. If necessary, place the dough back in the freezer after making the cutouts. This will help the dough rm back up, making it easier to transfer the cutouts from the paper to the prepared baking sheet. Place the dough cutouts on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the tops are just dry and edges are just starting to brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. To make the frosting, in a small bowl combine the cream cheese, the remaining packet of stevia and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a small open tip. Decorate the cooled cookies with the icing.

READ BETWEEN THE (LABEL) LINES


In general, the front label of a wine bottle should tell you where a wine is from and what grapes it predominantly is made from. So, if you see an Oregon pinot noir labeled Willamette Valley, then you know the grapes came from that region, which is known for pinots. Words like reserve and vintners select, can denote higher quality, but thats not a given, especially on New World wines. Ditto for medals and other awards, which have become quite prolic. The back label is a bit less helpful because its often rather owery, but you can pick up clues to the style of the wine. If theyre describing it as zesty, mouth-watering citrus fruit, you know thats going to be a wine that does have a lot of acidity, says MacLean. If its a red wine and theyre saying eshy, dark plums and berries, its probably full-bodied. Alcohol content also is a clue. A white wine such as riesling at 8 percent alcohol is going

With Maltbies help, Groom said the county will continue our mission to deliver excellent services to our community while seeking ways to reduce our costs. The board plans a wide-ranging national search for a permanent replacement over the next several months. Boeschs ofcial last day is Dec. 31 but yesterday was his last day in the ofce. He will work from home in the meantime, helping to transition and collecting three months pay as severance as long as he doesnt take another position before December 2012. Boeschs contract with the county ran through the end of next year. Boesch joined the county as assistant county manager in February 2007. He was named county manager in November 2008 and ofisnt particularly helpful is price. More bucks dont necessarily translate to better bottles, says MacLean, whose second book, Unquenchable: A Tipsy Search for the Worlds Best Bargain Wines, was recently released. Bargain hunters would do well to look at places that are known for good value, such as Chile. Another thing to look for is a lesserknown grape, like Argentinas malbec, a delicious red wine that doesnt yet have the cachet of a better-known red grape variety like cabernet sauvignon. Other places to hunt for value are regions that are trying to reinvent themselves, such as table wines from Portugal, where producers are working to let consumers know they make more than their famous port wines. panko.

Boesch was unanimously selected from a candidate pool of 38 pared down after interviews. Although Boesch was long thought to be Maltbies replacement, county ofcials conducted a wide recruitment. During his tenure, Boesch continued Maltbies work to eliminate a $100 million structural decit. When Maltbie announced his retirement in April 2008, he nally made good on plans considered several times before. In 2003, Maltbie announced his retirement but placed the plans on hold, ostensibly to focus on the beleaguered budget, and continued with the county through a series of extensions. At the time of his announcement, Maltbie was about to receive a 5 percent merit raise by the Board of Supervisors, bringing his bi-weekly paycheck to $10,393.60.

Maltbies tenure with the county began in March 1989 after a stint in the Army and a varied career in public administration in cities from Milpitas, Glendale, Ariz. and Santa Clara County. After coming to San Mateo County, Maltbie become known for implementing performance-based budgeting and overseeing capital projects like the jail, $125 million Youth Services Center and rebuild of the San Mateo Medical Center. In his last few years, Maltbie became synonymous with scal frugality. He frequently cautioned the county that past practices of subsidizing the public hospital and indigent care could not continue and directed the Board of Supervisors to begin stemming the structural decit before it ballooned further.

So she cofounded Bellus, a line of wines with labels that spell out whats inside. The also label includes avor icons that highlight the wines taste prole, such as a picture of a cherry to denote that avor in the wine.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS


What if you know next to nothing about the person youre giving the wine to? My tip is to go with what I call a switchhitter wine that has lots of avor but isnt heavy on oak, alcohol and tannins, says MacLean. Two suggestions here are riesling, a light white wine, or, for a red wine, pinot noir. Thats what I usually recommend as a go-to wine if youre not really sure and you dont want to choose something thats off the scale one way or the other. Sparkling wine is another crowd-pleaser. It doesnt have to be Champagne if youre on a budget, says Salcito. There are some good, low-priced cavas from Spain, as well as cremants from France, which is wine made in the same method as Champagne but not from that cooked through. Insert toothpicks or short skewers lengthwise into each oblong just before serving. Alternatively, the skewers can be cooked on a medium-high grill for about 3 minutes per side. Be sure to coat the grill grates liberally with cooking spray. When grilling, the skewers can be inserted prior to cooking.

Syrian crisis accelerates


By Bassem Mroue and Elizabeth A. Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Around the world


Gaza militants fire rockets after Israeli threat
JERUSALEM A Palestinian rocket exploded near a kindergarten in southern Israel on Tuesday, police said, just hours after Israels military chief warned the army would have to carry out a broad offensive in Gaza to stop the rocket salvos. The kindergarten was empty at the time of the rocket strike, which destroyed a storage shed next to the building. A second rocket landed in an open area nearby, police said. Earlier Tuesday, Israels military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, told a parliamentary committee that the current situation, in which Israel carries out limited reprisals in response to rocket re, cannot be sustained. Eventually we will have to go toward a broader offensive action in Gaza to stop the rockets. We cannot keep on going round after round of violence in Gaza, he was quoted as saying. Gantzs remarks were relayed by a meeting participant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed. The latest are-up in ghting took place several weeks ago, when Gaza militants red volleys of rockets that killed one Israeli civilian and wounded several others. Israeli airstrikes targeting the rocket squads killed 10 Palestinian militants.

BEIRUT Army defectors ambushed dozens of Syrian troops and regime forces gunned down civilians during one of the bloodiest days of the 8-month-old uprising, which appeared Tuesday to be spiraling out of President Bashar Assads control. Up to 90 people were killed in a gruesome wave of violence Monday, activists said. The extent of the bloodshed only came to light Tuesday, in part because corpses lying in the streets did not reach the morgue until daylight. As the bloodshed spiked, Assads former allies were turning on him in rapid succession a sign of profound impatience with a leader who has failed to stem months of unrest that could explode into a regional conagration. Turkey, Jordan and the 22-member Arab League all signaled they were fed up with Assads response to the uprising and were ready to pressure him to go. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday he no longer has condence in the government led by Assad, a 46year-old eye doctor who inherited power from his father 11 years ago. No regime can survive by killing or jailing, said Erdogan, who cultivated close ties with Assad before the uprising began in March. No one can build a future over the blood of the oppressed. Erdogan who disrespectfully addressed Assad by his rst name warned that the brutal crackdown threatens to place him on a list of leaders who feed on blood. Turkey also canceled plans for oil exploration in Syria and threatened to cut electricity supplies to the country, which is burning through the $17 billion in foreign reserves the government had at the start of the uprising. Turkey provides around 7 percent of Syrias total electricity consumption.

Demonstrators protest against Syrias President Bashar al-Assad gather in Hula,near Homs,Syria.
A day earlier, Jordans King Abdullah II said Assad should step down, the rst Arab leader to publicly make such a call. And over the weekend, the 22-member Arab League took a near-unanimous vote to suspend Damascus from the regional body. In a sign that Saudi Arabias rulers now foresee an end to Assads rule, the former Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki Al Faisal, told reporters in Washington that it was inevitable that Assad would step down. I think what were seeing here and continue to see is that the drumbeat of international pressure is increasing on Assad, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. Despite the widespread condemnation, Assad was unlikely to put an end to the crackdown, said Fadia Kiwan, a political science professor at Beiruts St. Joseph University. The reason is simple: Assads regime would almost certainly fall if the crackdown ends, she said. Although activists say the anti-government protesters have remained largely peaceful, an armed insurgency has developed in recent months targeting Assads military and security forces.

Herniated Disc? Severe Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?


Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you get the quality of life back that you deserve.
y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and understand rsthand the severe pain and disability that comes with these types of injuries to the point where I was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would help me manage my condition. That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to mild and I was able to return back to my activities of golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my family. It has been my mission ever since to share this great new technology with as many people as possible. While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, theres plenty of research to back up its claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com. However its the results we see every day in our ofce that get us so excited about this new non-invasive treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying. My severe lower back and sciatica pain have been reduced signicantly since receiving spinal decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf and do things without pain that I havent been able to do for years. Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno C.M. Allard During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. Physical therapy didnt help. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections. The rst one helped a tiny bit, but the others didnt do a thing for my pain. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free! Lisa K..

Severe back pain and sciatica puts a halt to any enjoyment in life. But now there is hope . . .
Free Consultation & Examination

It was a difcult decision but I believe the right decision for our department and the community, he added. Redwood City Mayor Jeff Ira said the decision was Bells, and one he wholly supports. I removed myself 100 percent from the hiring process, and Bob would let me know how it was going and when he would be making the nal selection, said Ira. I am condent in process and condent in Bob, and knowing Bob, it must be a great choice. The decision is also supported by the Redwood City Police Officers Association. The POA has great faith in Bob Bell and his ability to recruit and appoint a highly effective leader for our department. Our members welcome this new era ... with Chief Gamez at the helm with enthusiasm and optimism, said Redwood City POA President Mike Reynolds. We will embrace this change in leadership while maintaining our motivation and commitment to the citizens of Redwood City. The appointment is another step in the citys staff and department reorganization that included the resignation of city manager Peter Ingram, the appointment of Bell, the resignation of Cobarruviaz, the elimination of the deputy city manager position, two demotions in the Planning and Economic Development Department management, the hiring of a new economic development coordinator and City Attorney Pamela Thompson, the retirement of Community Development Services Supervisor Pat Webb and the hiring of a new economic development coordinator and building inspector. This is a huge appointment for our resident Joe Chen. Chris Co, special services coordinator for Millbrae police, asked the city to consider maintaining the current department stafng adding only a full-time chief and slowly building to the preferred levels. She also suggested asking the citys electorate for money through a joint safety assessment that would support both the police and re departments. Cos suggestion was one Telford couldnt recommend. He described the citys current stafng level as being critical. The sheriffs proposal included 15.98 FTEs including Millbraes own police chief. The $3.5 million plan allows for Millbraes sworn personnel to be accepted into the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce after a background check. The proposal calls for eliminating a police captain/commander/lieutenant position, cutting in half the number of sergeants and reducing the number of ofcers and deputies from 14 to eight, according to Telford. It adds a records clerk but does not discuss a crime analyst, special service coordinator or communications/records manager. Most non-sworn personnel would be transferred to similar positions. During recent community meetings, a number of individuals expressed concerns about the difference in stafng levels between the proposals. Millbrae, as a stand-alone agency, needs additional employees to cover shifts when illnesses and vacations come up. The Sheriffs Ofce, which is much larger, has enough employees to backll those without additional employees, according to Telford. For the sake of comparison, the city asked the Sheriffs Ofce to revise the proposal to include a full-time supervisor for all shifts and add an additional organization, Ira said. We have been in limbo waiting for a new police chief, and moving forward this will be positive for our Police Department and community in so many different ways. There is no question in my mind that there will be 100 percent support there from the organization and I am looking forward to that, he said. Gamez was born in San Francisco and graduated from San Francisco Christian High School in 1980. He then attended Fresno Pacific College and San Francisco State University. Gamez joined the San Jose Police Department on April 18, 1986. He is currently the Western Division commander. He worked in patrol and was then selected to work in the following specialized assignments: Special Operations Narcotics Enforcement Team, as a detective with the Narcotics and Covert Investigations Unit and as task force agent with the DEA. Gamez was promoted to sergeant on May 15, 1994. As a sergeant, Gamez supervised patrol ofcers and was selected to work as a supervisor in the following specialized assignments: Juvenile/Missing Persons, Narcotics and Covert Investigations, DEA Task Force, Night Detective Detail and Special Operations Street Crimes/METRO Unit. He was promoted to lieutenant on Feb. 16, 2003. He served as a patrol watch commander, lieutenant of the Special Operations Violent Crimes Enforcement Team, and as the commander of the Homicide/Crime Scene Unit. Gamez was promoted to captain on Feb. 6, 2009, where he currently serves as the Western Division patrol commander. I am ready for it. I am prepared to take on the responsibilities, Gamez said, adding that he will be bringing fresh eyes to the organization and will do a 90-day assessment which includes meeting with all individuals within the department and the community. I am impressed with the department, its ofcers. They are professional and have an outstanding reputation, Gamez said. This is a great t for me and he plans on working as a team and taking it to the next level. deputy for Friday and Saturday nights. The increase in employees raises the proposal cost to $4.56 million. Ofcer Gaby Chaghouri spoke on behalf of eight ofcers favoring the sheriffs proposal. The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce is a highly respected law enforcement organization and has always supported the citizens of Millbrae when called upon. We feel the Sheriffs Ofce will continue to serve the citizens of Millbrae, he said. Under the original proposal, Millbrae could save nearly $2 million or $1.1 million using the revised plan. The savings increased from original numbers because of a Tuesday decision by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors recognizing cities which contracted with it were paying twice into the future retirement costs, said Bolanos. That decision added more than $500,000 in additional savings to the plan. Regardless of what the city does, about $1.68 million in annual costs for the department including service contracts like red-light cameras, animal patrol and retirement options will remain, according to Telford. Future fiscal challenges certainly came into play during the discussion. Just before discussing police options, Finance Director LaRae Brown provided a five-year financial forecast which shows a seven-year cumulative general fund budget gap of $7.29 million. A major portion of that gap is from the sunset of the re assessment in 2013-14. Over three years, the end of the tax will mean a loss of $4.32 million, Brown said.

demonstrated strong leadership skills, a great vision for the department and community and he had a proven track record of working with the community and implementing innovative programs that improve the quality of life for residents and businesses alike. He is a thoughtful and articulate individual and he really understands the importance of working with the community. We are fortunate to have him accept this position, Bell said. Gamez will take over the department Dec. 2. He will be paid a salary of $15,582 a month, or $186,984 annually, and was hired as an at will employee as part of the executive management group. The Redwood City Police Department has a total of 94 sworn ofcers and numerous support staff. As part of Gamezs contract, he will be encouraged but not required to live in Redwood City. He has been married to his wife, Patty, for 25 years and they have two children, Gabrielle and Matthew. I will be relocating to Redwood City in the next few months, Gamez said. He will rst move into a rented apartment until his son graduates from high school in June 2012. The family will then relocate here permanently. They currently live in Morgan Hill. The appointment comes nine months after the resignation of former Police Chief Louis Cobarruviaz on Feb. 16. He was sworn in as chief on Jan. 18, 2007. At the time, Cobarruviaz was the fthhighest-paid city employee with a salary of $213,279. There is no date set for Gamezs swearing in. Cobarruviaz appointed Gamez sergeant in 1994 when he served as the San Jose police chief from 1991 to 1998. As the search for a chief was conducted, Bell appointed two highly respected Redwood City police captains, Ed Hernandez and Chris Cesena, as rotating acting chiefs. Both applied for the chief position. We had internal candidates for the

dont think we have enough facts, said Councilwoman Gina Papan, who added Tuesdays decision allows for negotiations to start so remaining questions can be answered. Mayor Dan Quigg and Vice Mayor Marge Colapietro both pointed to the citys nancial challenges as a reason the sheriffs proposal made sense. Quigg added many of the expressed concerns and questions were answered Tuesday before the vote. For example, Undersheriff Carlos Bolanos said the plan includes positions for all the department employees sworn and non-sworn, that can be tweaked to accommodate the citys robust volunteer program, and the city can maintain any property it would like. Items like vehicles and other equipment to be used through the new partnership will result in a credit toward the upstart costs, he said. The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. When the budget is changed to include vehicles, safety equipment, overhead costs and other costs, the annual budget is raised to $7.27 million. Should the city want to maintain its own department, Telford suggested increasing staffing levels by 2.5 full-time equivalent employees a cost of $410,000 annually that would raise the number of employees to 32 FTEs. Advocates for maintaining an independent department questioned the rush to make a choice while also noting the additional cost seemed minimal. We should not risk the safety of our residents for a $410,000 decit, said
