Longing for an A&W Drive-in in
San  Carlos?  How  about  a  theater
chain, taco  outlet, retailers  of  dia-
mond  and  shoes  or  even  Extreme
Pita  (not  to  be  confused  with
Extreme Pizza)?
These  outlets  are  among  dozens
compiled in a list of retail business-
es  a  city-hired  consultant  thinks
could be a good economic match for
the City of Good Living. 
The  Economic  Development
Advisory  Commission  got  a  rst
pass at the roster, whittling down its
own  wish  list  for  a  future  recom-
mendation to the City Council.
We thought it was kind of cool,
said EDAC member Ron Collins.
Restaurants  Il  Fornaio, Bucca  di
Beppo and Panera Bread rated high
with the commission, Collins said. 
Thomasville  Furniture  was  also
liked  along  with  Burlington  Coat
Factory.
Collins  joked  the  city  can  never
have  enough  ice  cream  places  but
said his view isnt necessary shared. 
Instead, he said sportswear retail-
er  Lululemon  or  cosmetic  shop
Sephora drew interest.
And Apple? 
We would love to have an Apple
store. They probably wouldnt come
here but it wouldnt stop us from at
least asking, Collins said.
Knowing who to ask is one reason
behind  the  assessment, giving  city
staff  a  way  to  gauge  what  type  of
businesses they should cull and bet-
ter aid them in the search for or cre-
ation  of  space, said  Mark  Sawicki,
economic development and housing
manager for San Carlos.
After  all, he  said, knowing  what
businesses  the  city  wants  doesnt
translate into an economic reality if
there are no spaces for them to ll.

Casa  Sanchez  may  have  its  roots
in San Francisco but the next gener-
ation  of  the  family-owned  business
is  ready  to  take  the  food  manufac-
turer  to  new  heights  from  its  head-
quarters in Millbrae.
Started  by  Mexican  immigrants
Roberto  and  Isabel  Sanchez, Casa
Sanchez  got  its  start  as  a
Mexicatessen  in  San  Franciscos
Mission  District  almost  50  years
ago  as  the  family  also  established
the  rst  mechanized  tortilla  factory
in Northern California.
The  second  generation  of  family
continued  the  companys  early  suc-
cess  as  Robert  Sanchez  Jr.married
one of the companys factory work-
ers  Martha.  It  was  those  two  who
created  the  recipes  for  Casa
Sanchezs  fresh  salsas, which  are
now sold in grocery stores through-
out the region.
With  the  passing  of  Martha  four
months ago, the company is now in
the  hands  of  Robert  Sanchez, the
grandson  of  the  companys  original
founder.
Sanchez  called  his  mother  the
brains behind the operation.
It is the success of her recipes that
have  led  the  company  to  develop
new products, all made from scratch
daily, that  have  turned  the  family-
owned business into a $10 million a
year operation with 85 employees.

Beyonce pregnancy 
news overshadows VMAs
Beyonce and Jay-Zs spawn doesnt even
have  a  name  yet, but  it  was  the  indis-
putable  breakout  star  of  Sundays  MTV
Video Music Awards.
Beyonce  stole  the  show  before  it  even
began when she announced on the black
carpet that after more than three years of
marriage, the  dazzling  couple  had  pro-
duced  the  ultimate  all-star  collaboration.
Dressed  in  a  loose  tting, off-the-shoul-
der  red-gown, she  clutched  the  baby
bump  that  so  many  celeb-watchers  had
been  predicting  since  the  two  wed.  Her
publicist later conrmed the pregnancy to
The Associated Press.
Later, Beyonce  performed  Love  on
Top, and if Twitter hadnt already spread
the  news, her  outt  gave  clues  to  her
impending  motherhood;  instead  of  her
typical  sexy  outts, she  dressed  in  con-
servative spangled tux  but still danced
around in her signature stilettos.
Beyonce  didnt  utter  a  word  about  the
pregnancy, but ended the number by tak-
ing off her jacket and rubbing her swollen
belly;  in  the  audience, an  elated  Jay-Z
hooted and clapped for his wife, as Kanye
West hugged him.
In an instant, Beyonce and her soon-to-
be  child  (Jayonce?)  managed  to  over-
shadow  the  nights  events.  Lady  Gagas
much-hyped  opening  number, during
which she performed as a greasy, leather-
jacketed male alter-ego during a perform-
ance of You and I, became less interest-
ing.  So  did  the  evenings  meticulously
planned  wild  moments, from  Nicki
Minajs  origami-like  outt  to  a  dance-off
between the members of Odd Future and
Jack Black, Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen.
There  was  one  apparently  unscripted
moment during Jay-Zs performance with
Kanye West of Otis, off their chart-top-
ping  joint  album  Watch  the  Throne.
Near  the  end  of  the  song, someone  tried
to  walk  on  the  stage, but  was  quickly
apprehended  by  a  crew  member  as  a
bemused Jay-Z looked on. It was the sec-
ond  time  Jay-Z  had  someone  walk  on
unannounced  during  an  MTV  perform-
ance; two years ago, it was Lil Mama.
Britney Spears captured the nights rst
award, for  best  pop  video, and  later  was
honored  with  an  MTV  Video  Vanguard
award  for  her  visual  legacy.  Lady  Gaga,
sticking  to  her  gender-switch  shtick,
leered at Spears as she paid tribute to her.
Shes  a  pop  music  legend, and  the
industry  would  not  be  the  same  without
her, Gaga said. I used to hang pictures
of her on my wall and touch myself when
I was in bed.
Later, Gaga  shed  for  a  kiss, but  as
Spears leaned in, she quickly pulled back,
reminding  viewers, Ive  done  that
before.
Other  winners  included  Nicki  Minaj
and  Katy  Perry, who  won  a  trophy  with
West for her video E.T.
Now this is the time when you wanna
interrupt  me  Kanye, joked  Perry, refer-
ring  to  Wests  infamous  intrusion  of
Taylor  Swifts  acceptance  speech  two
years  ago.  Instead, West  simply  laughed
and  thanked  God  and  Katy  Perry  for
being  so  brave  for  letting  me  on  her
record.
The  show  had  no  ofcial  host, though
comedian Kevin Hart delivered an open-
ing  monologue  and  was  featured  in  a
series of vignettes during the show.
Adele had perhaps the highlight of the
night  as  the  seven-time  nominee  deliv-
ered  a  powerfully  understated  perform-
ance of Someone Like You, off her top-
selling 21 album.

S
an  Mateo  languished  as  a  village
throughout  most  of  the  1800s.  There
were about 500 souls in the vicinity in
1883 and this had increased to about 1,832 by
1900.  San  Francisco, on  the  other  hand, had
close to 700,000 population by 1900 and was
still growing. The San Francisco and San Jose
Railway  had  been  completed  in  the  early
1860s  but  it  had  little  impact  on  San  Mateo.
The big estates controlled the area and every-
one  worked  for  the  big  estates.  They  created
little  real  employment  other  than  service
workers  to  keep  the  rich  happy  on  the  large
houses that had been built mainly for summer
residences.
Things  in  San  Francisco  were  still  in  ux
and  the  western  and  south  western  vacant
lands  only  needed  transportation  to  solve
labor  needs  in  the  burgeoning  downtown.
Land  speculation  abounded  everywhere.  On
April  7, 1892  Mr.  Joost, Realtor  of  the  Glen
Park area in San Francisco, saw the rst elec-
tric  car  of  the  San  Francisco  and  San  Mateo
Railway complete its run to the southern bor-
der of San Francisco County at the Top of the
Hill in Daly City (13 miles from San Mateo).
The  franchise  for  the  railway  had  not  been
secured to San Mateo and the trolleys went no
further  than  the  cemeteries  in  Colma.  The
turnout  and  prot  was  less  than  expected  by
Joost  and  the  company  was  purchased  by  a
Baltimore  Syndicate in  1901  and  the  new
owners, United  Railroads  of  San  Francisco
(URR)  immediately  acquired  the  rights  to
complete  the  line  to  San  Mateo.  On  Dec.  26,
1902, the  line  was  completed  to  San  Mateo
and  the  trolleys  made  the  trip  in  40  minutes
from Baden (South San Francisco).
The 1906 earthquake destroyed a lot of the
tracks in San Mateo County and, in addition to
repairing  the  tracks, the  president  went  on  a
buying spree. From a St. Louis shop, he pur-
chased  16  classic  interurbans, 12  motor  cars.
The  interurbans  were  huge    over  52  feet
long  and  weighed  75,640  pounds.  They  had
spoked  wheels, a  pilot  (cowcatcher)  in  front
and it had a lot of power (four 75- horsepow-
er  GE  motors)  as  well  as  eclipse  fenders  to
cover  the  sides  (and  cut  down  on  accidents).
They became called the Big Subs and their
use  lasted  for  10  years  before  they  were
retired.
After  leaving  Baden, there  were  a  lot  of
open elds and the trolleys could pick up a lot
of speed. With the speed came a rolling and
rocking motion  that  made  the  trolley  feel

like it was coming apart. The hum of the electric engines and
the  squeal  of  the  brakes  were  sounds  not  easily  forgotten.
When passengers were spotted, the engineer would put on the
brakes, slow down and stop while passengers entered the trol-
ley. Stops varied over the years due to trafc demand but pop-
ular stops were at: Lindenville Housing (South San Francisco),
Tanforan Race Track (three or four stops), San Bruno Avenue,
Lomita  Park, Millbrae  Water  Plant  (16-Mile  House), The
Power  Plant  at  Millbrae  Avenue, D.O.  Mills  Dairy  barn;
Easton and Burlingame Train Station. At the Burlingame Train
Station  (California  Drive), the  trolley  had  the  right-of-way
south on San Mateo Avenue with various stops in San Mateo
until it arrived at Main Street to rest a while. The railroad sta-
tion  was  to  the  east, the  Union  Hotel  was  to  the  south, and
there was an area for buses and taxis to stop, as well as trolleys
(Main Street is not a main street any more).
There were no high schools in San Bruno and Millbrae until
the  1950s  when  Capuchino  and  Crestmoor  were  built.  The
school trustees decided to fund the students transportation to
San Mateo High School (on Baldwin Avenue and San Mateo
Drive  and  later  Delaware  Street  and  Bellevue  Avenue)  and
Burlingame  High  School.  The  students  loved  the  ride  and
many friendships and love affairs were initiated on these rides
to  school.  In  1949, the  trolley  system  in  San  Mateo  County
was  discontinued.  For  a  while, the  Southern  Pacic  was  uti-
lized to get students to school but eventually the school district
bought buses to transport the students.

HISTORY
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES  Gov. Jerry Brown
is  a  quirky  Democrat  known  to  break
from  convention, but  in  one  way  his
young administration looks all too pre-
dictable: He  is  seeding  state  govern-
ment  with  fellow  Democrats, political
supporters  and  appointees  linked  to
powerful  labor  groups  that  helped
install him in ofce, an Associated Press
review found.
Public  employee  unions  representing
nurses, teachers, reghters  and  other
workers spent millions of dollars in the
2010 campaign to put Brown in charge
in  California, fearing  Republican  Meg
Whitman  would  make  good  on  her
promise  to  shrink  the  state  payroll  and
collar  the  soaring  cost  of  government
pensions.
So  far, Brown  has  placed  a  string  of
appointees  with  ties  to  those  unions  in
prominent jobs that intersect with labor:
The state agency that negotiates worker
contracts  is  now  headed  by  a  former
champion  of  the  prison  guards  union,
and the chief lawyer for the agency that
settles  disputes  between  workers  and
state  managers  has  ties  to  the  powerful
California Nurses Association.
Browns  office
says there is no con-
nection  between  the
union  support  he
received  in  2010
and  his  job  picks,
but  it  has  opened
him to criticism that
he  is  stacking  the
deck  in  favor  of
labor interests as the
state struggles with an ongoing nancial
crisis. 
If you look at who funded his guber-
natorial campaign, they are getting one
hell of a return on their investment. Its
paying  off  in  spades  through  these
appointments, said  Jon  Coupal, presi-
dent  of  the  Howard  Jarvis  Taxpayers
Association, a  low-tax  advocacy  group
that supported Whitman in 2010.
The  choices  provide  a  window  into
how  Brown  has  exercised  power  since
taking  office, and  his  appointments
could  affect  issues  ranging  from  fund-
ing  unemployment  benets  to  promot-
ing green energy in a state infamous for
smog.
According  to  administration  state-
ments, Brown has named 190 people to
high-level positions since he took ofce
in January. Of those, 18  about 9 per-
cent    are  Republicans, 11  of  whom
are new appointees. The rest were reap-
pointed to jobs they already held.
Brown is known to be unorthodox 
he earned the moniker governor moon-
beam during his rst stint as governor
from 1975 to 1983  and he urged  leg-
islators to rise above ideology and par-
tisan  interest after  taking  the  oath  of
ofce  in  January.  But  his  appointments
have  followed  a  familiar  pattern  in
Sacramento, in  which  incoming  gover-
nors  advance  their  agendas  by  salting
the state ranks with like-minded staffers
or  repay  supporters  and  donors  with
plum jobs. 
By  some  accounts  nearly  3,000
appointments  come  with  the  California
governorship  that  range  across  state
agencies and a web of boards and com-
missions  that  have  inuence  in  every-
thing from agriculture to energy.  
Former  Republican  Gov.  Arnold
Schwarzeneggers inner circle was thick
with  Republicans  but, overall, his
appointments  were  fairly  balanced.  A
Los  Angeles  Times  review  in  2006
found  that  about  54  percent  of  more
than  2,000  appointments  he  made  by
that  time  were  Republicans, the  rest
were Democrats and independents with
a sprinkle from minor political parties.
Brown appointments favor Dems

MILLBRAE   
Always  take  what 
you  read  with  a 
grain  of  salt!    It 
amazes  me  that  so 
many  articles  I  see 
being  published  in 
various  magazines, 
tabloids,  journals,  etc.  are  implied  to  be 
factual and researched but in reality end 
up  being  riddled  with  partial  truths, 
inaccuracies  and  falsehoods!    I  always  like 
information  that  is  backed  up  by  provable 
facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily 
written  and  not  checked  out.    Many  people 
assume  that  all  their  reading  material  has 
been pre-verified by an editor.  Accepting 
these  erroneous  types  of  writings  as  the 
gospel  truth  causes  confusion  among  the 
public and can be potentially harmful! 
     One serious example is the daily flooding 
of  email  stories  that  are  passed  from  reader 
to  reader  (weve  all  received  them)  and 
taken by many recipients as factual writings.  
The  majority  of  these  emails,  such  as 
perceived parents searching for their missing 
child; hearsay about the Presidents status as 
an  American  citizen;  rumors  on  the  latest 
medical  scare  or  remedy;  handy  household 
uses  for  cola;  Bill  Gates  sharing  his  fortune 
with  you  if  you  forward  that  email  to  10 
friends; in addition to countless other stories 
are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes.  
TIP:  You  can  easily  check  out  the  validity 
of every email story you receive by going to 
www.snopes.com  and  typing  in  the  subject 
of any questionable email in the search box.  
     In  another example, I was recently given 
an  article  to  review  from  Readers  Digest 
called  13  Things  the  Funeral  Director 
Wont  Tell  You  as  part  of  their  series 
featuring  different  professions.    Being  an 
actual  Funeral  Director,  and  knowing  the 
facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info 
I  was  reading  in  a  supposedly  reputable 
magazine such as Readers Digest.  It was 
obvious  to  me  that  the  author  of  the  article 
and  the  editor  of  the  magazine  not  only 
didnt check their alleged facts, but some of 
the items listed were misleading, incomplete 
assertions  or  just  plain  folklore!    Anyone 
reading  this  would  just  assume  that  all  was 
checked  out  in  advance  with  experts  and 
professionals  before  being  printedbut  in 
this  case  it  was  a  listing  of  partial  truths  or 
unexplained  hearsay.    Since  this  article 
appeared  (in  the  June/July  2011  issue)  the 
National  Funeral  Directors  Association 
among  other  groups  have  chastised 
Readers  Digest  for  their  inept  reporting.  
This  circumstance  makes  it  difficult  for  me 
to  fully  have  faith  in  Readers  Digest  and 
reminds  me  that  fallacies  that  can  show  up 
in otherwise trusted publications. 
     Another  situation  similar  to  the  above 
appeared  a  while  back  in  AARP  magazine.  
I always viewed this publication as having a 
stellar reputation until I read an article about 
funeral  rip-offs  that  was  also  filled  with 
inaccurate  statements.    In  that  case  AARP 
was not checking their facts either. 
     The  point  is  that  some  authors  may  have 
part  of  their  facts  correct  or  incorrectbut 
until you verify your reading material with a 
professional  you  should  take  what  you  read 
with some good humor and a grain of salt.      
     If  you  ever  wish  to  discuss  cremation, 
funeral  matters  or  want  to  make  pre-
planning  arrangements  please  feel  free  to 
call  me  and  my  staff  at  the  CHAPEL  OF 
THE  HIGHLANDS  in  Millbrae  at  (650) 
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you 
in a fair and helpful manner.  For more info

Andreacchis  advertising  experience
and  Reardons  marketing  approach,
the  two  formed  the  local  franchise
Junk  King  in  2005, a  San  Carlos-
based junk removal and hauling serv-
ice company.
Four  years  later  after  laying  the
groundwork for their model of struc-
ture and efciency, the duo decided to
go  national  and  one  thing  led  to
another. After 18 months, the growing
company  franchised  33  partners  in
United  States, including  one  in
[Panama  City]  Central  America.
Andreacchi, chief operating ofcer of
Junk King, predicts 10 to 15 franchis-
es will be added at the end of the year.
We  put  ourselves  in  a  position
where  the  consumer  can  see  us,
Andreacchi  said.  We  document  our
business  model  from  a  marketing
standpoint for customers to learn and
grow from.
Andreacchi  formerly  worked  for
the companys leading national com-
petitor, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, a Canada-
based  junk  collection  company.  He
saw  the  need  to  create, expand  and
franchise  a  company  that  would  dif-
ferentiate itself from competitors.
I saw there was room for growth in
this  eld, Andreacchi  said.  We
wanted to create a company that serv-
ices  bigger  trucks  and  larger  territo-
ries at a better competitive price. We
made  a  point  to  evolve  100  percent
around  customer  service  and  place  a
high value on not only throwing away
junk but recycling it as well.
Reardon, chief  executive  ofcer  of
Junk King, said the companys annu-
al  revenue  for  junk  removal  is  $1.1
million  and  for  franchise  partners
between  $6  million  to  $8  million.
Junk  Kings  revenue  is  growing  15
percent each year despite the econom-
ic recession, he said.
Our principle is to give people the
opportunity  to  be  their  own  business
owners and evolve a brand nationally
and internationally around recycling,
Andreacchi  said.  Our  mission  is  to
build  long-lasting  relationships  with
valued customers.
Andreacchi  said  60  percent  of  the
material collected is recycled; howev-
er, many times the junk is not reused,
donated or taken to a landll. Instead,
Junk  King  nds  alternate  recycling
avenues  to  transfer  junk, such  as  E-
Waste, a custom electronics recycling
service, and American Metal Group, a
metal recycling business. These com-
panies have become a reliable source
of  collecting  and  recycling  furniture,
appliances, technological devices and
various  debris  for  business, govern-
ment and residential companies, they
said.
Andreacchi  added  that  40  percent
of waste goes to a transfer station and
not a landll. Items not transferred are
located to Blue Line Transfer in South
San  Francisco.  Furthermore, more
than  908  tons  are  saved  from  local
landlls, he said.
We  conduct  environmental  audits
regionally  in  North  America,
Andreacchi  said.  Our  franchises
track  what  we  collect  locally  and
where  the  junk  goes, whether  its
recycled, reclaimed, reused, convert-
ed to energy or goes to landlls.
Junk  is  a  big  business  in  North
America because Americans are con-
sumers, Andreacchi  said.  Americans
like  to  ll  their  homes  with  new  and
fun items which doesnt create a lot of
space. 
Not  everything  we  pick  up  is
garbage, which is why it is recycled,
Andreacchi said. One mans junk is
really  another  mans  treasure.
Vendors  like  certain  items  saved  for
them.
Junk King also donates used items
to  charities  and  nonprot  organiza-
tions: Goodwill, Habitat  for
Humanity, San  Carlos  Educational
Foundation, building  projects  and
others. 
We  donate  our  trucks  with  a  face
value of $300 to $500 to local schools
for  auctioning, Reardon  said.  The
proceeds made from these event goes
to nonprot organizations.

Comprehensive 5 Step Program is Helping  
Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief From 
 Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain  
without Drugs or Surgery 
Are you in pain?  Have you tried everything to alleviate 
your pain without success? 
Tried injections that worked for the first time or two but now 
have little or no effect? Tired of taking medications that 
temporarily mask the pain but arent actually fixing the 
problem?  Doctor told you your only option is surgery but 
you are scared to death of surgery because of all the horror 
stories you have heard?  Had surgery and are still in pain?  If 
you answered yes to some or all of these questions we want 
you to know you are not alone.  Thousands of people in your 
area are in the same situation.  Many of them have found 
affordable, effective, permanent relief with our 
revolutionary, new 5 step treatment protocol involving Deep 
Tissue Laser Therapy and Spinal Decompression.  You 
too may qualify for this revolutionary treatment if you: 
 
  Have Been Diagnosed With or Feel Like You Have Any 
of the Following: 
 
  Herniated/Bulging Discs 
  Chronic Lower Back or Neck Pain 
  Sciatica 
  Shooting Pain Down the Leg 
  Pinched Nerves 
  Numbness, Tingling or Weakness 
  Shoulder, Knee or Foot Pain 
  Muscle Spasm, Strains or Sprains 
 
Even If You Have Been Told By Other Doctors That They 
Cant Help or That Surgery Is Your Only Option,  
Help May Still Be On the Way 
Our revolutionary, 5 step comprehensive program is helping 
patients all over the Bay Area relieve their symptoms of back 
and neck pain, improving their quality of life and helping 
them enjoy activities that they havent been able to do since 
their pain began.  We have even helped patients in the 
severest amount of pain, who have had pain for many years, 
and at almost any age.  (Our oldest patient currently is 94) 
 
Maybe your story is similar to that of Ruthann T., who states, 
I had pain in my low back and down my right leg for years. I 
was having trouble even walking up the stairs. I had four 
epidurals, which didn't help much. I started my mornings off 
with pain medication.  For the past two years, I had to sleep 
in a recliner with a pillow underneath my legs. I had seen two 
chiropractors, a physical therapist, and a pain management 
specialist, but nothing helped.  My doctor recommended 
surgery but surgery terrifies me.  Too many unknowns and 
too many horror stories. 
 
How Pain Has Been Treated in the Past. 
  Are Drugs and Shots the Answer? 
Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently 
taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone, 
epidural or steroid injections.  This type of relief masks the 
cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more 
pain or worse yet, addiction to drugs.  Many people 
innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while 
initially using them to alleviate pain.  Do you know that 
prescription medications kill more people every year than 
illegal drugs do?  How many stories have we heard in the 
news over the last year of people dying from abuse of 
prescription pills?  With all the potential side effects are pain 
pills really the best long term solution to pain? 
 
 
How Pain Is Now Being Treated  
by Our Comprehensive 5 Step Protocol 
Until Now, Drugs and Surgery Were the ONLY Options for 
Back Pain.  Today our 5 Step Protocol, including Deep  
 
Step 1-Spinal Decompression 
The 1st step in our comprehensive 5 step protocol is to reduce 
disc bulges and disc herniations and repair and re-hydrate any 
degenerating discs through Spinal Decompression.  Spinal 
Decompression is a revolutionary, computer aided technology 
that treats the symptoms of Disc Herniations, Disc 
Degeneration, Sciatica, low back and neck pain.  Think of a 
disc like a jelly doughnutsqueeze it too hard and the jelly 
comes out.  When too much pressure is placed on the disc, it 
bulges or herniates. Gentle specialized decompressive forces 
are logrhythmically applied creating up to -100 mm of 
pressure inside the discs, retracting (sucking in) the disc 
herniation and allowing the damaged disc to heal.  Spinal 
decompression even helps degenerated discs. The gentle 
specialized traction forces create a negative pressure leading 
to an influx of fluid, oxygen and minerals.  This process 
helps the discs to heal.   
 
An Orthopedic Surgeons View on Decompression 
 Dr. Bernard Zeliger, an Orthopedic Surgeon has this to say 
about Spinal Decompression.  As a Surgeon I only want to 
do surgery when I absolutely have to.  Non-Surgical Spinal 
Decompression gives my patients a more conservative 
treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery 
altogether. 
         
Step 2- Deep Tissue Laser Therapy 
Pain results from trauma, inflammation, malfunction, or less 
than optimal cellular function. Healing and pain relief come 
with cellular normalization. Laser light enables cells to 
perform optimally by energizing the damaged cells, initiating 
bio-chemical reactions, (photobiostimulation) leading to an 
increase in circulation, a decrease in pain, and an increase 
in healing.  Laser Therapy is the perfect addition to speed up 
the healing time while doing spinal decompression and other 
therapies. 
 
Is Laser Therapy Painful or Dangerous? 
There is no discomfort during treatment, simply a deep, 
gentle stimulation as your body's cells respond to the light. 
There are no known side effects and it is non-invasive and 
non-surgical.  When asked about the Laser Treatment Jason 
B. said, All I felt was a comfortable sensation as the laser 
was moved over the injured area.  After just 7 short 
treatments my pain was almost totally gone. 
 
Step 3- Nutrition 
Often times patients are deficient in certain vitamins and 
minerals or can have a toxic buildup in their system which 
can be contributing to or may even be causing some of their 
pain.  At Crossroads Health Center we will take an extensive 
history and perform any tests necessary to determine if a 
nutritional deficiency or toxicity may be present.  Then an 
individualized nutritional program may be recommended to 
decrease pain and inflammation, speed up healing and 
improve overall health.   
 
Step 4- Chiropractic 
 Crossroads Health Center utilizes highly trained Chiropractic 
Physicians to perform chiropractic adjustments with specific 
forces in a precise direction to mobilize joints, restore motion, 
relieve pain and inflammation, take the pressure off pinched 
nerves, and improve nervous system function.  Light 
massages while you are being treated will help to reduce 
muscle spasms, decrease trigger points (knots), relieve 
muscle tension and help to relax muscles so that postural 
imbalances can be addressed and other treatments can be 
more effective. Chiropractic may or may not be a part of your 
overall care plan.  A consultation will determine what is best 
for your individual needs. 
 
Step 5- Stretch & Strengthen 
Once we have addressed the root of the problem and patients 
have started to have decreased pain and improved function 
then we put them on a stretching and strengthening protocol. 
Too often patients are told to stretch and strengthen before 
actually fixing the problem which may lead to no relief of 
their pain or sometimes even a worsening of their pain and 
their condition.  Stretching and strengthening after improving 
spinal function will help your results to be more permanent so 
that you dont have to come in to the clinic forever.     
 
 
How Will I Know If I Qualify for Treatment? 
When you come in for a complimentary consultation we will 
ask a series of questions and perform a comprehensive 
examination to determine exactly where the pain is coming 
from.  If x-rays are necessary, we can take them in our office.  
Once we determine the cause of your pain we will let you 
know if we can help you and if you qualify for our treatment 
protocol.  If we dont feel like we can help we will refer you 
to someone who can.

NEW YORK   Stripped of hur-
ricane  rank, Tropical  Storm  Irene
spent  the  last  of  its  fury  Sunday,
leaving  treacherous  flooding  and
millions  without  power    but  an
unfazed New York and relief that it
was  nothing  like  the  nightmare
authorities feared.
Slowly, the  East  Coast  surveyed
the damage, up to $7 billion by one
private estimate. For many the dan-
ger  had  not  passed: Rivers  and
creeks  turned  into  raging  torrents
tumbling  with  limbs  and  parts  of
buildings  in  northern  New  England
and upstate New York.
This  is  not  over, President
Barack  Obama  said  from  the  Rose
Garden.
Flooding  was  widespread  in
Vermont, where  parts  of
Brattleboro, Bennington and several
other  communities, were  sub-
merged.  One  woman  was  swept
away  and  feared  drowned  in  the
Deereld River.
Meanwhile, the  nations  most
populous  region  looked  to  a  new
week  and  the  arduous  process  of
getting back to normal.
New  York  lifted  its  evacuation
order for 370,000 people and said it
hoped to have its subway, shut down
for the rst time by a natural disas-
ter, rolling  again  Monday, though
maybe  not  in  time  for  the  morning
commute.  Philadelphia  restarted  its
trains and buses.
All  in  all, New  York  Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said, we are in
pretty good shape.
At  least  21  people  died  in  the
storm, most  of  them  when  trees
crashed through roofs or onto cars.
The  main  New York  power  com-
pany, Consolidated  Edison, didnt
have to go through with a plan to cut
electricity  to  lower  Manhattan  to
protect  its  equipment.  Engineers
had  worried  that  salty  seawater
would damage the wiring.
And  two  pillars  of  the  neighbor-
hood  came  through  the  storm  just
ne: The New York Stock Exchange
said  it  would  be  open  for  business
on Monday, and the Sept. 11 memo-
rial  at  the  World  Trade  Center  site
didnt lose a single tree.
The  center  of  Irene  passed  over
Central  Park  at  midmorning  with
the  storm  packing  65  mph  winds.
By evening, with its giant gure-six
shape  brushing  over  New  England
and drifting east, it was down to 50
mph. It was expected to drop below
tropical  storm  strength    39  mph
 before midnight, and was to drift
into  Canada  later  Sunday  or  early
Monday.
Just  another  storm, said  Scott
Beller, who  was  at  a  Lowes  hard-
ware store in the Long Island ham-
let of Centereach, looking for a gen-
erator because his power was out.
The  Northeast  was  spared  the
urban  nightmare  some  had  worried
about    crippled  infrastructure,
stranded  people  and  windows
blown  out  of  skyscrapers.  Early
assessments  showed  it  wasnt  as
bad  as  we  thought  it  would  be,
New  Jersey  Gov.  Chris  Christie
said.
Later in the day, the extent of the
damage  became  clearer.  Flood
waters  were  rising  across  New
Jersey, closing  side  streets  and
major  highways  including  the  New
Jersey  Turnpike  and  Interstate  295.
In Essex County, authorities used a
ve-ton  truck  to  ferry  people  away
from  their  homes  as  the  Passaic
River  neared  its  expected  crest
Sunday night. 
Twenty  homes  on  Long  Island
Sound  in  Connecticut  were
destroyed by churning surf. The tor-
rential rain chased hundreds of peo-
ple  in  upstate  New York  from  their
homes and washed out 137 miles of
the states main highway. 
In  Massachusetts, the  National
Guard had to help people evacuate.
Impact from Irene less than feared

leaving thousands of people without power and causing ooding.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON   Damage from
Irene appears to be less than feared, a
bit  of  reassuring  news  for  a  fragile
economy.
Insured  damage  from  Irene  will
range between $2 billion and $3 bil-
lion, and  the  total  losses  will  likely
be about $7 billion, according to pre-
liminary  estimates  by  Kinetic
Analysis  Corp.  a  consulting  rm.
Both  gures  are  less  than  had  been
expected and likely mean little dam-
age to the nations $14 trillion econ-
omy.
Irene  left  several  places  with
black  eyes, but  it  doesnt  seem  to
have  delivered  an  economic  knock-
out, said Ryan Sweet, an economist
at Moodys Analytics.
The  estimates  from  Kinetic
Analysis, based  in  Silver  Spring,
Md., suggest  that  Irene  will  have
caused  far  less  insured  damage  than
the  $6  billion  the  industry  paid  out
after Hurricane Isabel struck the East
Coast in 2003.
The  long-term  costs  of  Irene  will
grow  as  storm-ravaged  areas  deal
with lost business, insurance claims,
dislocated  workers  and  transporta-
tion  disruptions    costs  that  will
take months to fully calculate.
Still, rebuilding  and  repairing  the
damage  from  the  storm  should  be
enough  to  boost  economic  output  in
the  nal  three  months  of  this  year
and perhaps beyond, economists say.
This  region  is  very  highly
insured, so  a  lot  of  money  will  start
pouring  in, and  that  should  re-
employ a lot of construction workers
who are now out of work, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys.
Zandi  said  he  thinks  the  benets
from  rebuilding  could  extend  into
next years January-March quarter.
Billions will be spent on rebuild-
ing  and  recovery, noted  David
Kotok, chairman  of  Cumberland
Advisors. That will put some people
back to work, at least temporarily.
For now, power outages and ood-
ing will close some businesses, cost-
ing  workers  lost  pay  and  likely
boosting  temporary  layoffs.
Transportation  and  shipping  may
also be disrupted.
Chuck  Watson, Kinetics  director
of  research  and  development, noted
that  the  impact  on  businesses  was
limited, in part, because the storm hit
on a weekend. Even so, Watson and
Sweet  said  small  businesses  on  the
North Carolina coast will likely lose
two  weekends  of  tourist  activity,
including  the  travel-heavy  Labor
Day weekend. 
Millions of people have lost power
from the storm, and analysts said the
length  of  the  outages  and  the  extent
of disruption to public transportation
in  cities  like  New  York  will  help
determine the economic damage. 
Storm to cost billions in cleanup
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK  When the clouds
parted, Wall Street wasnt swamped.
Coney  Islands  world-famous
Cyclone  roller  coaster  was  still
standing. The Empire State Building
hadnt lost a single window.
And New Yorkers hardly missed a
beat  after  Irene    a  hurricane
demoted  to  a  tropical  storm  just
before  it  made  it  to  the  big  city  
swept through Sunday morning. 
Just  hours  after  an  all-night, win-
dow-rattling  drenching  from  the
storm, people  were  back  on  the
streets, jogging, milling  around
Times Square, walking dogs and sur-
veying the damage, which consisted
mostly  of  downed  trees, power  out-
ages and neighborhood ooding. 
The  subway  system, shut  down
Saturday because of the risk of ood-
ing, was still out of service, and trains
probably wont be running in time for
the Monday morning commute, mean-
ing  it  could  be  a  hellish  start  of  the
work  week  for  millions  of  New
Yorkers.
But  for  a  while  at  least, it  was  a
fun  little  adventure, said  Zander
Lassen, who spent the night at a boat-
house  in  lower  Manhattan  babysit-
ting beached sailboats.
To  be  sure, there  were  terrifying
moments: Firefighters  on  Staten
Island  rescued  dozens  of  people
trapped  by  floodwaters.  On  the
Queens  seashore, part  of  a  pier  col-
lapsed  and  two  summer  bungalows
were reduced to piles of timber.
City  ofcials  worried  saltwater
would  swamp  lower  Manhattan  and
damage  the  underground  power  lines
that  serve  Wall  Street, crippling  the
nations nancial system. But that did-
nt happen. The main stock exchanges
were set to open as scheduled Monday.

MEXICO CITY  Mexicos most
powerful  drug  cartel  appears  to  be
expanding  methamphetamine  pro-
duction  on  a  massive  scale, lling  a
gap  left  by  the  breakdown  of  a  rival
gang that was once the top trafcker
of the synthetic drug.
The  globe-spanning  Sinaloa  cartel
is suspected of dealing record tons of
drugs  and  precursor  chemicals
processed  in  industrial-sized  opera-
tions.
The  apparent  increase  in  the
Sinaloa  groups  involvement  comes
as  the  Mexican  government  says  it
has  dismantled  the  La  Familia  gang
with  key  arrests  and  killings  of  its
leadership, and  as  Mexico  is  once
again  the  primary  source  of  meth  to
the  United  States, according  to  U.S.
drug intelligence reports.
Methamphetamine  production,
gauged by seizures of labs and drugs
in Mexico, has increased dramatical-
ly since 2008.
Mexican  authorities  have  made
two major busts in as many months in
the quiet central state of Queretaro. In
one case, they seized nearly 500 tons
(450 metric tons) of precursor chem-
icals.  Another  netted  3.4  tons  (3.1
metric  tons)  of  pure  meth, which  at
$15,000 a pound would have a street
value of more than $100 million.
Authorities said they couldnt put a
value  on  the  precursors, which  were
likely  headed  for  a  300-foot-long
(100-meter-long)  industrial  process-
ing  lab  found  buried  12  feet  (4
meters)  underground  in  a  farm  eld
in the cartels home, Sinaloa state.
We  think  it  was  Sinaloa, said  a
U.S.  law  enforcement  ofcial  in
Mexico, noting that Sinaloa can pig-
gyback  meth  onto  the  network  it
already  has  for  cocaine, heroin  and
marijuana. They may now have this
renewed interest in trying to control a
bigger  portion  of  the  meth  market.
Although La Familia has distribution
points in the U.S. ... they dont have
the  distribution  network  that  Sinaloa
cartel has. He couldnt be named for
security reasons.
Steve  Preisler, an  industrial
chemist who wrote the book Secrets
of  Methamphetamine  Manufacture
and is sometimes called the father of
modern  meth-making, said  the
quantity is just amazing.
It  is  a  huge  amount  of  starting
material which would allow them to
dominate  the  world  market,
Preisler, who served 3 1/2 years in
prison  more  than  two  decades
ago, emailed  the  Associated
Press in reply to questions. 
He  added  that  the  most  ef-
cient  production  methods  would
yield about half the weight of the pre-
cursors  in  uncut  meth, or  between
200  and  250  tons, which  could  be
worth billions of dollars.
Officials
of  Mex-
i c o  s
fed-
eral  police,
army  and  attorney  generals  ofce
refused  to  comment  on  who  owned
the meth lab or precursor warehouses.
Cartel makes big move into meth
By Tom  Coyne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH  BEND, Ind.    Weeks
after  Indiana  began  the  nations
broadest  school  voucher  program,
thousands  of  students  have  trans-
ferred  from  public  to  private
schools, causing  a  spike  in  enroll-
ment  at  some  Catholic  institutions
that were only recently on the brink
of closing for lack of pupils.
Its a scenario public school advo-
cates  have  long  feared: Students
eeing  local  districts  in  large  num-
bers, taking with them vital tax dol-
lars  that  often  end  up  at  parochial
schools. Opponents say the practice
violates  the  separation  of  church
and state.
In  at  least  one  district, public
school  principals  have  been  plead-
ing  with  parents  not  to  move  their
children.
The  bottom  line  from  our  per-
spective is, when you cut through all
the chaff, nobody can deny that pub-
lic money is going to be taken from
public schools, and theyre going to
end  up  in  private, mostly  religious
schools, said Nate Schnellenberger,
president  of  the  Indiana  State
Teachers Association.
Under  a  law  signed  in  May  by
Gov.  Mitch  Daniels, more  than
3,200 Indiana students are receiving
vouchers  to  attend  private  schools.
That  number  is  expected  to  climb
signicantly in the next two years as
awareness of the program increases
and  limits  on  the  number  of  appli-
cants are lifted.
The  vouchers  are  government-
issued certicates that can be applied
to private tuition, essentially allowing
parents  to  channel  some  of  the  tax
dollars  they  would  normally  pay  to
public schools to other institutions.
Until  Indiana  started  its  program,
most  voucher  systems  were  limited
to  poor  students, those  in  failing
schools or those with special needs.
But Indianas is signicantly larger,
offering  money  to  students  from
middle-class  homes  and  solid
school districts.
Nearly 70 percent of the vouchers
approved  statewide  are  for  students
opting  to  attend  Catholic  schools,
according to gures provided to The
Associated  Press  by  the  ve  dioce-
ses  in  Indiana.  The  majority  are  in
the urban areas of Indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, South  Bend  and  Gary,
where  many  public  schools  have
long struggled.
Vouchers prompt thousands to change schools

WASHINGTON      U.S.  and
Pakistani ofcials said Saturday that
al-Qaidas  second-in-command,
Atiyah  Abd  al-Rahman, has  been
killed in Pakistan, delivering anoth-
er big blow to a terrorist group that
the U.S. believes to be on the verge
of defeat.
Al-Rahman was killed Monday in
the lawless Pakistani tribal region of
Waziristan, according  to  a  senior
administration  ofcial  who  insisted
on anonymity to discuss intelligence
issues.
A  Pakistani  intelligence  ofcial
said  al-Rahman  died  in  a  U.S.  mis-
sile  strike  in  Machi  Khel  village  in
North Waziristan on Monday.
Since  Navy  SEALs  stormed
Osama  bin  Ladens  compound  and
killed  him  in  May, the  Obama
administration  has  been  unusually
frank in its assessment that al-Qaida
is on the ropes, its leadership in dis-
array. 
Defense  Secretary  Leon  Panetta
said  last  month  that  al-Qaidas
defeat  was  within  reach  if  the  U.S.
could  mount  a  string  of  successful
attacks.
Now  is  the  moment, following
what  happened  with  bin  Laden, to
put  maximum  pressure  on  them,
Panetta  said, because  I  do  believe
that if we continue this effort we can
really  cripple  al-Qaida  as  a  major
threat.

OPINION 9
Monday  Aug 29, 2011 THEDAILYJOURNAL
Response to printed 
opinion of Myles Duffy
Editor,
I was intrigued by the logic in the
letter by Myles Duffy (Leaf blowers
in Burlingame published in the Aug.
23 edition of the Daily Journal) arguing
that electric leaf blowers are less ef-
cient than gas blowers. Mr. Duffy stat-
ed that electric blowers take twice as
long as gas blowers to gather leaves. In
my experience with both gas and elec-
tric blowers, I have found no difference
in efciency. Given the large variety of
both gas and electric blowers, this over-
arching statement leaves me dubious
about Duffys argument. I can see how
running a gas blower half as long as an
electric motor might save energy, but
that does not mean that the cleanliness
of the emissions are equal. Gas motors
localize exhaust in my neighborhood
while an electric motor can be powered
by a variety of energy sources such as
solar, wind, coal and oil which exhaust
at the power plant. Gas motors only use
a diminishing resource, fossil fuel, to
power them. And if the doubling of car-
cinogens is a concern, I suggest an
alternative leaf removal method called
raking as a solution to the issue.

Remembering Coach Parks 
Editor,
I met Coach Ben Parks in 1967. We
were coming out of heavy times as
racial riots were happening during my
freshman year in 1966 at Menlo-
Atherton High School. In the movie
Remember the Titans, Denzel
Washington plays the football coach at
a recently integrated high school in
1971. The school board forced to inte-
grate. They combined the white school
and the black school into one. It was
the same thing with Coach Parks and
he did it with gusto. 
In many ways, his life was a bridge
between his African-American heritage
and the afuent white community
that surrounded him. He built bridges
of understanding and compassion in
innumerable situations; from his racial-
ly tense and often violent high school
to his own prejudiced neighborhood.
Between races, religions, ages and
between rich students and poor. He
continued to reach out to the Mexican-
American community where he was fed
and cared for as a child and continued
to provide food and clothing to many
migrant eld workers. He was a living
example of giving in action; giving
all that he had, asking nothing in
return. Although his story has special
appeal to African-American and Latino
audiences, it will also appeal to every
person interested in bridging gaps
between races, generations and eco-
nomic groups. Coachs story is univer-
sal and his message transcends the
boundaries of race, ethnicity, geogra-
phy and culture. He will be missed!

Spending and economic 
health in America
Editor,
As writer Gore Vidal said, we are the
United States of Amnesia. Why
would anyone want Herbert Hoover
again for president? Yes, his prescrip-
tion for the looming Great Depression
was to demand a balanced federal
budget and to institute austerity to
wring out the excess that he saw as the
cause of the stock market crash and
Americas doldrums. President
Roosevelt realized that job creation,
even if it was of dubious quality, was
the real prescription to get America
working again. 
Sorry if this is ancient history, but we
are looking at a scenario that is much
the same. The decit must wait.
Federal, state and local governments
need to be adding employees, rebuild-
ing infrastructure and providing wage
earners with something to prevent their
home foreclosures. Letter writers like
Alfred Lerner and Jorg Aadahl have it
right. Matt Grocott is in the Herbert
Hoover camp. The shovel-ready jobs
are the ones that just require a recall
slip to return to work. The private sec-
tor wont spend on expansion as there
is no shovel-ready demand. It aint
pretty, but there it is. If money must be
printed, then print it. The Chinese debt
holders need a vibrant America to pay
them back, not a stagnant one. Tax the
rich and put a small tax on nancial
transactions over a certain amount to
discourage speculation. End corporate
loopholes once and for all. Stop wast-
ing money on wars that just make us
more enemies. Money spent on arma-
ments produce fewer jobs than that
spent providing for everyday needs of
Americans.

F
or California legislators who
want to help the unemployed
get back to work and provide
relief to nancially strapped counties at
the same time, Assembly Bill 1182
should make sense.
The measure by Assemblyman Roger
Hernandez, D-West Covina, would
eliminate the $4,650 vehicle asset limit
for welfare eligibility. Fifteen other
states have done so.
But in California, youre not eligible
for welfare if you own a car worth
$4,650 or more. This limit has not been
adjusted in 15 years, and is among the
lowest in the nation.
Beyond denying government assis-
tance to needy people, the car asset test
imposes a costly burden on counties
whose welfare eligibility workers spend
an estimated 15 to 30 minutes deter-
mining the worth of a car every time
they process a CalWORKs application,
and again and again at every six-month
CalWORKs renewal period.
The rule also hurts people trying to
get a job. The lack of reliable trans-
portation is a major barrier to employ-
ment in California. Any car worth
$4,650 or less is likely to be a piece of
junk and unreliable.
Its that reality that prompted
Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries, R-Lake
Elsinore, to break with the majority of
his GOP colleagues and vote for the
Hernandez bill. Jeffries says he would
have preferred a bill that raised the cap,
not eliminated it.
Nonetheless, he voted for it because
you need a reliable vehicle to nd work
or maintain a job. Five other Assembly
Republicans joined Jeffries to support
the bill.
Many formerly solidly middle class
residents who paid taxes all their lives
are seeking government help for the
rst time because of the recession.
Many have high-end cars purchased in
good times.
When these rst-time welfare appli-
cants sell the family SUV, worth maybe
$10,000, so that they can qualify for
public assistance, they give up a crucial
tool they need to get back on their feet
off the unemployment rolls.
The Hernandez bill is pending in the
state Senate. It should be approved and
then signed by the governor.
In these tough economic times, elimi-
nating the car asset test is the right
thing to do. It not only will help the
jobless, but also will save tax dollars in
the long run.
Vehicle asset limit outdated, unjust
The newest
supervisor
I
asked new supervisor Dave Pine what surprised him
most about the job. He joked that he hasnt had to wear
a tie so often in 20 years. But on a more serious note,
Dave said he was surprised that most of the board meetings
he has attended to date (he took ofce in late May and had
attended six meetings when I interviewed him) were devoted
to land use issues, often about one or two homes, and were
not devoted to the major issues facing the county  propos-
als for a new jail and the structural decit.
As Supervisor Carole Groom shared with me soon after she
took a seat on the board (previously she was a member of the San
Mateo City Council), she too was surprised how major discussions
seem to be in committees rather than before the full board. The
board meets in public session two times a month. Members are
assigned by the board chair to committees. Pine, who has valuable
experience in nance and business from his previous work in
Silicon Valley, is not on the nance and operations committee.
Recently elected Don Horsley, our former sheriff, is not on the
criminal justice committee. Instead these newest members are
assigned to the environmental
quality and legislation commit-
tees. But that could change
with new assignments next
year.
Pine said there is no question
the county needs a new
womens jail. The dilemma is
whether a new or expanded jail
is needed to relieve pressure on
the existing mens facility
which was built to house 688
inmates. Today, the average
daily inmate population is
between 832 and 851. It does-
nt seem that long ago that we
built the McGuire Correctional Facility but time ies and condi-
tions change. The new condition is realignment whereby the state
plans to send more prisoners to county jails. Meanwhile, 73 per-
cent of current inmates are awaiting sentencing. The problem is of
course money. I got the impression that Dave has not made up his
mind on this and would like to explore additional options to incar-
ceration for non-violent offenders. The county already has a few.
Pine was also surprised at how many big-tickets items are
on the consent agenda. He has asked a few to be taken off
for discussion and believes there should be a threshold limit-
ing the dollar amount of contracts on consent.
He cast his rst minority vote (it was 4-1) against the ser-
geants contract. They are already guaranteed above market wages,
1 percent more than sergeants in other counties  and the county
pays 75 percent of their pension costs. Even though Pine admitted
the sergeants union had reopened the contract and made conces-
sions, the approved contract, in his opinion, was still unaffordable.
Hes still on a learning curve but loves the work. He espe-
cially likes the diversity of issues. One can dene the job by
how much time you spend on certain subjects. 
When I met Dave on a late hot afternoon  and yes, he was
wearing a tie  he had started the day at 8:30 a.m. to walk a new
Stanford trail at the request of the university. Stanford has been in
a 10-year battle with the supes about building a bike/pedestrian
path on Alpine Road between Menlo Park and Portola Valley.
The university needs mitigation for expansion someplace else.
Twice the supes have turned down the $10 million offer but now
Stanford is more hopeful because the county could really use the
money. Pine was amused that he started walking with Larry
Horton, Stanfords senior associate vice president and then was
joined by Provost John Etchemendy (a post formerly held by
Condoleezza Rice). Stanford is really pouring it on.
At 11 a.m., he had a meeting regarding PG&Es energy
upgrade program whereby the company and the county provide
rebates of $1,000-$4,000 for energy efcient improvements. Pine
was disappointed at how few people had taken advantage of the
program and that most of the funds had been spent on marketing.
Meanwhile the federal funds will run out by March. So he
encouraged the county to put in more matching funds to attract
more takers (The county has approximately $300,000 to match
PG&E rebates.) Then it was back to the ofce in Redwood City
to meet with San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein to discuss possible
ways to save money on re station operations. After that it was
time to prepare for the next days board meeting. 
***
After an expensive and competitive campaign for supervisor
in March to ll March Churchs seat, Pine must run again in
June. The June election will be a full and exciting one. There
will be the open primaries for state ofcials. Now
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, may be running for
state Sen. Leland Yees newly congured state Senate seat.
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson will be termed out and there
will be a race for her seat between Memo Morantes, member of
the San Mateo County Board of Education, and Shelly Masur,
popular trustee on the Redwood City Elementary School Board.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW  YORK    Maybe  Warren
Buffett can strike a deal to buy the entire
stock market, too. 
At  least  the  markets  plan  to  open
Monday, but  after  Federal  Reserve
Chairman  Ben  Bernanke  announced  no
new  program  Friday  to  lift  stocks,
investors sold lots of them. 
That set at least one Wall Street econ-
omist  to  musing  whether  Buffett  might
be  willing  to  lend  a  helping  hand
instead.
He  could  buy  the  entire  S&P,
Mizuho  Securities Steven  Ricchiuto
said in a nod to how Buffetts $5 billion
investment  in  Bank  of  America  Corp.
sent  its  stock  soaring  just  a  day  before.
But  I  dont  think  even  he  has  enough
money to do that.
In the event, no savior was needed, at
least on Friday.  As Bernanke spoke at a
conference  in  Jackson  Hole, Wyo., the
Dow  Jones  industrial  average  fell  hard,
then  reversed  course  to  close  at
11,284.54, up  4.3  percent  for  the  week
after being down the past four. Investors
apparently  reinterpreted  the  lack  of  any
news of a new Fed stimulus to mean the
central bank wasnt so worried about the
economy  after  all, and  maybe  they
shouldnt be either. 
Still, investors are down 13 percent in
a month, and few expect market turmoil
to disappear soon.
The  good  news  for  stock  investors  is
that  most  security  exchanges  said  by
Sunday  afternoon  that  they  planned  to
operate  normally  Monday, and  stocks
appear  relatively  cheap.  Companies  in
the  Standard  &  Poors  500, a  broader
index  than  the  Dow, are  now  trading  at
an  average  11  times  what  Wall  Street
analysts expect them to generate in per-
share  earnings  over  the  next  twelve
months.  The  long-term  average  is  15
times.
These  earnings  ratios  are  only  one
gauge of value, and analyst expectations
of  what  companies  can  earn  sometimes
prove  too  high.  So  far, if  anything,
theyve  been  too  low.  A  report  from
research  rm  FactSet  released  Friday
said  75  percent  of  companies  that  have
reported earnings for the second quarter
have beaten estimates.  
More encouraging, the earnings them-
selves were up an average 11.8 percent.
Will rise in stocks last?

NEW YORK     Travelers  across  the
country faced days of grief as thousands
of  flights  were  canceled  Saturday
because of Hurricane Irene.
Airlines  scrapped  more  than  9,000
flights  this  weekend  from  North
Carolina to Boston, grounding would-be
travelers  as  Irene  traveled  up  the  East
Coast. There were more than 3,900 can-
cellations on Saturday alone. 
Millions of passengers will be affected
by the time the storm nally dies as air-
lines work to accommodate travelers on
very  full  ights.  The  biggest  airlines,
United  Continental  Holdings  Inc.  and
Delta Air Lines Inc., each canceled thou-
sands of ights. 
All  New  York  City-area  airports
closed  to  arriving  ights  at  noon  on
Saturday, when  the  citys  public  trans-
portation system shut down. By evening,
the ve major airports were closed. 
Ronald  Reagan  Washington  National
Airport  and  Washington  Dulles
International  Airport  were  both  open
Saturday afternoon, but most ights had
been canceled.  The airports that will be
most  affected  Sunday  will  be  Newark
Liberty  International  and  New  Yorks
John F. Kennedy International, both with
more  than  1,200  cancellations, accord-
ing  to  flight  tracking  service

Brazil has always had its select group of

booming  commodity  prices  fueled  by
Chinese  demand, along  with  some  of  the
worlds  biggest  offshore  oil  discoveries,
have  created  an  expanding, new  class  of

ing the international yacht market even as it
plummets in the U.S. and Europe.
The number of millionaire households in

economic shocks since 2008.

When  Menlo  football  coach
Mark  Newton  took  over  the  pro-
gram  in  2004, the  Knights  were
hardly  a  football  powerhouse.
When  Menlo  re-entered  the
Central Coast Section in 1996, the
Knights  made  the  playoffs  only
three times  all losses.
Fast  forward  to  2011  and  the
Knights  are  now  perennial  CCS
participants.  It  took  Newton  and
his  coaching  staff  two  years  to
return  to  the  playoffs  and  the
Knights have been in CCS four of
the last ve years, picking up their
rst  playoff  win  in  ages  in  2009
when  they  advanced  to  the
Division IV championship game.
Now, nothing less than a playoff
berth is expected.
I smile to myself when the kids
expect  to  make  the  playoffs,
Newton  said.  I  think  they  expect
it  of  themselves.  Theyre  con-
dent.  They  expect  a  lot  of  them-
selves.
Although  the  Knights  are
replacing a number of key compo-
nents from last years CCS semi-
nal  team, Newton  is  condent  the
entire program  from frosh-soph
to  varsity   now  has  the  ability
to reload as opposed to rebuild.
The last few years, weve had it
going  pretty  good.  We  have  an
experienced  group  of  coaches  on
the  frosh-soph  and  varsity  levels.
Its a pretty clean line from fresh-
man  to  senior  year.  Theyre  com-
pletely ready and developed (when
they  get  to  the  varsity  level),
Newton said. We try to keep a lot
of  sophomores  on  frosh-soph  so
we can develop kids. Weve had a
lot  of  success  on  both  levels.  The
kids have seen it. The expectations

To say that the 2010 season was rough for
the  Mills  football  team  would  be  an  under-
statement - 10 games, 10 losses. 
And  unfortunately, they  werent  just  Ls
for the Vikings, they were ugly ones; to the
tune  of  a  46-6  average  -  in  fact, in  league
play alone, Mills was outscored 235-37. 
But the nice thing about any new season is
that  all  is  forgotten, and  the  Vikings  begin
the  2011  campaign  with  a  group  of  young
players  hoping  to  take  a  step  in  the  right
direction  and  be  competitive  in  the  wide-
open  Peninsula  Athletic  League  Lake
Division. 
Its a whole team, said Mills head coach
Packy Moss. Its a young team. There arent
many kids back from last years team. Its a
very  junior-heavy  type  of  team.  Theyre  a
good  group  of  kids, they  work  hard, they
play hard so Im hoping we can compete and
try to win some games this year.
Maybe its a good thing that Mills will fea-
ture a lot of new faces on the varsity roster.
But  the  reality  is, it  might  prove  to  be  a
tough  task  too  keep  them  all  healthy.  Moss
said his roster is only 18 to 21 players deep,
with the majority of them slated to see con-
siderable minutes on both sides of the foot-
ball. Mills success on the eld in 2011 will
revolve  around  having  enough  bodies  to
physically  compete  (and  complete)  a  foot-
ball game. 
Were  just  trying  to  get  them  to  play
together, Moss  said, play  for  each  other
and  improve  every  week.  We  cant  get  dis-
couraged  (this  year)  because  we  are  young.

INDY IN SONOMA: WILL POWER WINS FROM THE POLE AT INFINEON >>> PAGE 13
By Genaro C. Armas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH  WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
 An American ag draped around
his  shoulders, Braydon  Salzman
couldnt  contain  his  glee  when  he
found  California  teammate  Nick
Pratto to give him a postgame hug.
The boys from Huntington Beach
are  headed  home  with  a  Little
League World Series championship.
Pratto  singled  in  the  winning  run
with  two  outs  and  the  bases  loaded
in  the  bottom  of  sixth  inning, and
Salzman  pitched  a  complete-game
three-hitter  in  a  2-1  victory  Sunday
over  Hamamatsu  City, Japan, and
the tournament title.
USA!  USA, yelled  fans  before
Prattos single.
I was just thinking. Oh God, Oh
God, Before  I  was  getting  in  the
box, the  12-year-old  Pratto  said.
But  once  I  got  into  the  box, I
calmed  myself  by  telling  myself  to
just look for a good pitch.
Prattos  clutch  hit  returned  the
World  Series  title  to  the  United
States with the type of victory even
the  big  leaguers  dream  about.  A
U.S.  team  has  now  won  six  out  of
the  last  seven  World  Series, with
Japans win last year the exception.
Pratto  tossed  his  helmet  into  the
air  after  rounding  rst  before  his
teammates  mobbed  him  in  the
ineld. The teams exchanged hand-
shakes  at  the  plate  before
Californias  giddy  players  posed  at
the  mound  with  their  new  champi-
onship banner.
My  team  is  physically  smaller
than  most  of  the  teams.  We  didnt
think  we  would  get  to  this  stage,

SAN  FRANCISCO      The  San
Francisco Giants are losing to teams
out  of  contention. Theyre  losing  at
home.  Great  pitching  efforts  are
being wasted.
All those things are cause for con-
cern  as  the  reigning  World  Series
champions  approach  the  final
month.
Matt Downs delivered a go-ahead
single  with  one  out  in  the  11th
inning  and  the  Houston Astros  beat
the stumbling Giants 4-3 on Sunday
to salvage a four-game split.
Weve got to win, thats all weve
got to do, pitcher Matt Cain said.
To  win, they  must  score  more
runs.
Jose Altuve got things going with
a  one-out  double  against  Ramon
Ramirez  (2-3)  and  Downs  followed
with  a  single  up  the  middle. Altuve
was forced into action after slugger
Carlos  Lee  left  in  the  top  of  the
ninth  with  a  sprained  right  ankle,
sustained  sliding  into  second  on  a
double.  Lee  was  3  for  4  with  two
doubles.

10th  and  got  the  win  despite  allowing  Mark
DeRosas  tying  single.  David  Carpenter  n-
ished for his rst career save.
It was a big win, especially to get one late
like that, Downs said. Its easy to get frus-
trated  when  you  blow  a  lead, but  we  didnt.
We kept battling like it was just a part of the
game.
The  reigning  World  Series  champions  fell
four  games  behind  the  first-place
Diamondbacks  in  the  NL  West  race  after
Arizona  beat  the  Padres  6-1.  The  D-backs
come  to  town  Friday  for  a  key  weekend
series.
On  bring  your  dog  day  at AT&T  Park, the
Giants continued to experience the dog days.
More missed chances.
They also argued that one chance was taken
from them.
DeRosa singled with one out in the 10th off
Melancon, but  was  thrown  out  trying  to
stretch it to a double. He slid past the bag and
reached  back  with  his  left  hand, and  replays
showed he appeared to be safe.
DeRosa  jumped  up  to  yell  at  second-base
umpire  Dan  Bellino  and  manager  Bruce
Bochy  was  ejected  for  the  second  time  this
year.
I  thought  I  was  safe.  I  mean  its  a  tough
call, bang  bang, DeRosa  said.  You  dont
have  a  choice, you  move  on. You  battle  and
youve got to put it behind us. We cant score-
board  watch  because  weve  got  our  own  bag
of issues weve got to deal with and weve got
to get the bats going.
Houston  went  ahead  3-2  in  the  10th  on
pinch-hitter Jason Michaels double, then the
Giants came back again.
Jordan  Schafer  lined  a  tying  RBI  single  to
right with two outs in the eighth against Cain
to help force extra innings.
The reeling Giants failed to string together
their  rst  three-game  winning  streak  since
July 17-19 at San Diego. They havent had a
winning home series in ve sets since taking
two  of  three  from  Milwaukee  from  July  22-
24.
San  Francisco  has  played  eight  straight
games decided by two or fewer runs.
This  is  a  tough  loss, no  getting  around  it.
We  came  back  a  couple  times, Bochy  said.
As Ive said, we have to score some runs for
these guys.
The Giants couldnt capitalize in the eighth
after  getting  consecutive  two-out  singles  by
Jeff Keppinger and Carlos Beltran off Wilton
Lopez.  Wesley  Wright  relieved  and  retired
Pablo Sandoval on a grounder.
Aubrey  Huff  hit  a  tying  RBI  single  off
Houston  starter  Bud  Norris  in  the  seventh  to
end a 0-for-15 funk, and singled again in the
ninth but the Giants didnt score. After Huffs
initial  hit  in  the  seventh, Norris  received  a
mound  visit  before  giving  up  Orlando
Cabreras  go-ahead  sacrice  y  on  the  next
pitch.
That one-run lead didnt last long.
Norris, pitching  back  home  in  the  Bay
Area, had  only  allowed  one  runner  to  reach
second base before the Giants got to him for
two runs in the seventh. Sandoval drew a one-
out walk to start things off. Brandon Belt sin-
gled  to  bring  up  Huff, whose  struggles  have
some  fans  and  skeptics  calling  for  Bochy  to
sit him for an extended period.
Cain, the  Giants hard-luck  loser  for  years
now, has only two wins in his last nine starts.
The two-time All-Star struck out pinch-hitter
Jason  Bourgeois  with  the  go-ahead  run  on
rst  for  the  second  out  of  the  eighth, then
gave up Schafers tying single.
Cain has received the lowest run support in
the majors since his rst full season in 2006.
Keppinger, acquired  by  the  Giants  on  July
19  from  Houston, was  8  for  26  with  three
RBIs against his former team  including 5
for 14 this series.
Astros  manager  Brad  Mills  had  seen
enough.
OK, Keppingers  done, Mills  joked
before the game. Hes done getting these big
hits against us.
NOTES: Astros  SS  Clint  Barmes  had  the
day  off.  ...  RHP  Tim  Lincecum  takes  the
mound  Monday  for  the  Giants  against  the
Chicago  Cubs.  The  two-time  NL  Cy Young
Award  winner  is  3-1  with  a  0.91  ERA  in  his
last four starts. ... Houston heads home to face
Pittsburgh, with Wandy  Rodriguez  (9-9)  get-
ting  the  ball  for  the  fourth  time  this  year
against  the  Pirates.  He  struck  out  11
Pittsburgh  batters  in  5  2-3  innings  back  on

a wonderful job to get to this stage.
With  runners  on  rst  and  second, an  error
by  Japan  shortstop  Gaishi  Iguchi  on  what
could have been an inning-ending double play
loaded the bases for California. After a force
play at the plate, Pratto smacked a solid liner
to  center  off  reliever  Kazuto  Takakura  that
brought  pinch-runner  Eric  Anderson  home
with the winning run.
Pratto  did  his  father, manager  Jeff  Pratto,
proud.  Nick  Pratto  said  it  was  great  to  have
his father as his coach, but he kind of gets on
my nerves sometimes.
It was a tting end to a tense game marked
by excellent pitching and timely defense.
Japan  starter  Shoto Totsuka  struck  out  ve
over 4 1-3 innings, giving up a homer to right
to California slugger Hagen Danner.
First  pitch  was  delayed  more  than  three
hours after the outer bands of Hurricane Irene
brought  more  rain  than  expected  to  the
Williamsport area.
The  result  was  bad, but  they  really  tried
their  best, Suzuki  said.  Todays  weather
was  difcult  for  us  to  get  used  too.  If  the
weather  was  like  this  in  Japan, we  wouldnt
have played.
The  clouds  nally  started  parting  midway
through  the  game, and  sunshine  draped  the
complex  by  the  time  the  California  players
left the stadium to cheers by friends and fam-
ily.
Neither  team  could  convert  on  several
chances to break open the pitchers duel ear-
lier in the game.
With runners on rst and second in the top
of  the  sixth, third  baseman  Dylan  Palmer
blocked  the  bag  from  sliding  Japan  runner
Ken  Igeta  on  a  bunt  play  to  help  get
California get out the inning.
California  put  runners  on  rst  and  second
with two outs in the fth, but Takakura got a
yout to end the inning.
Playing  right  eld  in  the  second, Takakura
also  made  a  running  catch  on  y  down  the
line to save an extra-base hit with a runner on
second.
It  was  Japan  running  all  over  the  place  in
the third, ashing trademark hustle to scratch
out  the  games  rst  run  after  Seiya  Fujitas
solid single to left. Pinch-runner Kaito Suzuki
moved to second on a bunt and raced toward
third  with  no  one  covering.  The  throw
bounced  into  foul  territory, allowing  Suzuki
to score easily.
In  a  gracious  postgame  gesture, Japans
players  and  coaches  lined  up  and  exchanged
high-fives  with  the  California  kids  after
Huntington  Beach  did  the  traditional  victory
lap around the stadium warning track.
Its just a dream come true, Danner said.
I never thought we would be in that spot, let
alone winning it.

SONOMA    Will  Power  inched  closer  to
IndyCar points leader Dario Franchitti with his
second straight win at Inneon Raceway, then
appropriately shared the podium with his two
teammates.
Helio  Castroneves  and  Ryan  Briscoe  com-
pleted  a  1-2-3  sweep  for  Team  Penske  at  the
Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma on Sunday  the
rst for owner Roger Penske in nearly 20 years
 but it was the job the two did on Franchitti
that made the biggest difference.
Franchitti  started  fourth  but  couldnt  get
around  Castroneves  or  Briscoe, who  formed
the  perfect  blockade  and  allowed  Power  to
post his fth victory of the season.
That  pulled  the Australian  within  26  points
of Franchitti with four races to go.
I said before the race that if we could nish
how  we  started, it  would  be  a  perfect  week-
end, said  Power, who  became  the  rst  two-
time  winner  of  this  event.  Now  we  have  a
legitimate shot at the championship. Two more
road  courses, two  more  ovals  and  we  can  get
this.
Power  led  71  of  the  75  laps  while  winning
his second consecutive race from the pole here
at Inneon Raceway, the same track where his
career almost ended in 2009 following a hor-
ric crash.
Power  has  a  career-high  ve  victories, one
shy of the IndyCar single-season record.
More critically, it sets up a wild run for the
championship  after  Franchitti  appeared  to  be
comfortably ahead in the points race six weeks
ago.
Theres  going  to  be  days  like  this, said
Franchitti, who nished fourth ahead of Target
Chip  Ganassi  teammate  Scott  Dixon.  I  was
pushing  as  hard  as  I  could  just  to  keep  the
Penske cars in sight. I was really on the ragged
edge for pretty much the whole day really.
Power  held  off  a  furious  charge  from
Castroneves following a caution with nine laps
to go.
Unlike  two  weeks  ago  in  New  Hampshire
when a late accident involving Danica Patrick
led to a controversial nish  and resulted in
an  angry  Power  making  an  obscene  gesture
toward  race  ofcials  that  later  earned  him  a
$30,000 ne  the ending was without much
drama.
Power  got  the  jump  on  Castroneves  on  the
double-le restart, then ran comfortably ahead
the  rest  of  the  way  while  cruising  to  his  14th
career IndyCar victory.
As  he  made  his  way  to  the  winners  circle,
Power  stopped  to  make  another  gesture  with
his hands.
I gave it two ngers up, he cracked. Not
the middle ones, though.
Power  has  a  long  history  at  this  Northern
California  track.  Two  years  ago  he  had  to  be
airlifted  out  of  here  in  a  helicopter  after  run-
ning  into  the  stalled  car  of  Nelson  Phillipe.
Power  suffered  a  broken  back  in  the  accident
and  there  was  some  question  whether  he
would ever race again.
He came back strong in 2010 and won both
the pole and the race before repeating the feat
again this year.
Its one of the tracks I seem to click with,
Power  said.  It  was  very  comforting  to  have
Helio and Ryan behind me on the last restart,
two guys you can totally rely on.
Castroneves, who  has  had  an  up-and-down
season, and Briscoe did the rest.
We sort of got to a point in the race where
our  focus  was  just  to  hold  off  Dario, said
Briscoe, the  only  other  driver  to  lead  a  lap.
We  started  1-2-3  and  we  nished  that  way.
Right  now  for  this  team  to  win  the  champi-
onship we need to keep Dario behind Will.
Its the rst IndyCar sweep for Team Penske
since Paul Tracy, Al Unser Jr. and Emmerson
Fittipaldi placed 1-2-3 at Nazareth in 1994. Its
also  the  rst  sweep  of  the  top  three  positions
by any IndyCar team since Andretti Autosport
took  the  top  four  spots  at  St.  Petersburg  in
2005.
Its  invaluable  to  have  guys  like  that  per-
forming  at  the  top  level, taking  points  away
from Dario, Power said. I expect them to be
the  same  the  next  four  races  now  that  weve
got a bit of momentum.
Ryan  Hunter-Reay, whose  Aug.  14  win  in
New  Hampshire  was  upheld  by  an  appeals
panel  earlier  in  the  week, nished  10th  after
starting in 19th.
Patrick placed 21st in what is likely her nal
appearance  her  in  an  IndyCar.  Patrick
announced  her  plans  to  leave  the  open-wheel
series and join NASCAR in 2012.

BRISTOL, Tenn.  It didnt take
long  for  Paul  Menards  race  to  go
awry at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Flagged for speeding on pit road a
mere  34  laps  into  Saturday  nights
race, the  penalty  set  the  tone  for  a
disappointing  night  for  Menard  and
a handful of other drivers trying des-
perately  to  make  the  Chase  for  the
Sprint Cup championship.
Man, were  giving  it  away  right
now  for  sure, said  Menard.  Just  a
bad  night.  Frustrating.  If  there  is
something  that  could  have  gone
wrong, it did.
Menard, who  also  ran  into  the
back  of  Denny  Hamlin  as  the  two
tried  to  avoid  a  wreck  in  front  of
them, nished 30th and dropped two
spots in the standings to 20th. Its a
nightmare slide for a driver who just
one  month  ago  earned  a  break-
through  victory  at  Indianapolis  to
jump into the race for a Chase berth.
New  NASCAR  rules  this  season
created  two  wild-cards  into  the  12-
driver Chase eld. The spots are des-
ignated  for  the  two  drivers  with  the
most  victories  who  arent  already
ranked inside the top-10 in points.
The  format  has  created  tremen-
dous  uncertainty  as  to  who  will
make  the  Chase  with  two  races
remaining to set the eld. Four driv-
ers  at  the  top  of  the  standings  
Kyle  Busch, Jimmie  Johnson, Matt
Kenseth  and  Carl  Edwards  
clinched  Chase  berths, but  of  the
bubble drivers, only  Brad
Keselowski  and  Denny  Hamlin  did
anything to help themselves.
Keselowski  picked  up  his  third
win  of  the  season, which  should
almost  guarantee  him  one  of  the
wild  cards.  It  also  moved  him  to
11th in the standings, and hes only
21 points away from unseating Tony
Stewart  for  the  10th  position  and
locking in his berth.
Whos  10th?  Is  it Tony? Tony  is
pretty  good, Keselowski  said.
Beating  Tony  Stewart  by  an  aver-
age  of  10  positions  over  two  races,
thats going to be pretty tough to be
honest.
Try  telling  that  to  Stewart, who
has run terrible of late.
A  week  after  declaring  his
Stewart-Haas  Racing  team  doesnt
deserve a spot in the Chase, Stewart
backed  it  up  with  one  of  the  most
perplexing  weekends  of  his  career.
He  qualied  last  in  the  43-car  eld
on  the  same  day  teammate  Ryan
Newman won the pole.
Although  he  vowed  in  driver
introductions not to stay in the back
of the pack for long, he was lapped
early and often as Stewart struggled
to a 28th-place nish.
Its  no  different  than  it  was  last
week, Stewart said. The feeling is
the  same    you  still  want  to  make
it. Were working hard at it.
Clint  Bowyer  was  just  as  bad  as
Stewart  on  Saturday  night, even
though  Bristol  is  one  of  his  better
tracks.
Hoping  to  use  his  push  to  make
the  Chase  as  a  distraction  to  his
messy  free  agency, Bowyer  instead
ran  in  the  back  of  the  pack  near
Stewart most of the race and nished
26th. He dropped a spot in the stand-
ings  to  12th, and  because  hes  win-
less this season, hed be bounced out
of the Chase by wild card drivers.

of themselves are high. They want to
make a statement as a team.
Menlo  has  earned  quite  a  reputa-
tion over the last couple of years for
developing  a  high-octane  passing
attack. The last two starting quarter-
backs   Danny  Diekroeger  and
Robert  Wickers   have  both  been
among  the  CCS  leaders, as  has  a
slew of wide receivers.
Newton  and  the  Knights  will  be
breaking  in  a  new  quarterback  and
wideouts  this  season, but  dont  look
at that as a negative. Newton said he
has  three  quarterbacks  who  are  all
good  enough  to  lead  the  team  and  a
group  of  receivers  that  could  wreak
havoc on opposing defenses.
We  have, arguably, one  of  the
deepest  receiving  corps  weve  ever
had  here.  That  speaks  to  the  frosh-
soph  development, Newton  said.
We hope to rotate a lot of guys. We
might have a few guys in the top-20
in CCS, rather than having the No. 1
and No. 5 guy, which might actually
make us better.
Chris Reed is expected to take over
as  the  main  target, but  he  is  hardly
alone.  Colum  Coyne, Max  Parker,
Conor  Patterson, Andrew  Sanford
and  Conner  Statsny  are  all  expected
to  make  signicant  contributions  as
well.
We have eight to 10 guys who can
play, Newton said.
The  question  for  the  Knights  is
who will be getting the ball to those
receivers.  Matt  Bradley, Jack
Heneghan  and  Mike  Diekroeger  all
split time at the frosh-soph level last
season, with  Bradley  getting  more
time than the other two.
Bradley  is  also  the  smallest  of
three  at  5-foot-10, 148  pounds.
Heneghan  goes  6-foot-3, 205  and
Diekroeger  is  6-foot-2, 195.  At  this
point, however, none  has  separated
from the other.
We  played  four  quarterbacks  at
the  frosh-soph  level  last  year,
Newton  said.  These  kids  can  do  it
and know the system.
Newton  is  hoping  one  distin-
guished  himself  at  the  Knights
scrimmage  Friday, but  there  is  a
chance he could rotate them once the
regular season starts.
Im  not  really  worried  about  the
rotation, Newton said. If it came to
that, I  think  we  have  a  good  under-
standing of what they can do. We can
do things to (take advantage of) their
skill  set.  Usually, its  a  team  chem-
istry  issue  and  the  team  responds
well to all three.
Its a good problem to have.
The Knights will also be replacing
their  starting  running  back  and
instead  of  relying  on  just  one, they
will  use  a  running  back-by-commit-
tee  approach.  Newton  is  actually
tweaking the ground attack.
We  have  three  good  single
backs, Newton  said.  Were  not
going  to  play  so  much  one  single
back as we have in the past. We have
three good guys who are all slightly
different.
Dylan  Mayer  and  Chris  Zeisler
will  see  a  lot  of  action  in  the  back-
eld, along  with  Heru  Peacock, but
Mayer and Zeisler will rotate often as
they start on defense as well.
We  dont  want  to  wear  them
down, Newton said.
The  offensive  line  returns  three
players who saw signicant time last
year, including  Wyatt  Rouser, who
will be a second-year starter as a jun-
ior.  Joining  him  will  be  Craig
Robbins and Spencer Buja.
We  have  three  returning  guys
who  are  all  really  experienced,
Newton said. Buja dropped 10 to 15
pounds and he might be better (than
last  year).  Craig  also  dropped  15
pounds. Hes super quick. We tell all
our  guys  we  want  quickness  and
strength.
That  quickness  and  strength  will
also be an asset for those three on the
defensive  side  of  the  ball  as  well.
Because  Knights  are  usually  small
team numbers-wise, nearly everyone
learns  both  an  offensive  and  defen-
sive position.
This  year, look  for  the  Menlo
defense  to  do  things  opponents
havent seen before.
We  got  a  lot    of  schemes  in.
Were running a lot of different stuff
and  the  kids  are  absorbing  it,
Newton said. With Buja and Mayer
at  linebacker, and  Rouser  at  nose
tackle, were  anxious  to  see  what
they can do. We feel good inside and
out.  Zeisler  and  Carson  Badger  are
looking good at safety.
The biggest question mark for the
Knights  is  how  quickly  they  can
come  together  as  a  team.  They  will
have a lot of rst-year varsity players
and  the  key  to  success  will  be  how
quickly they can nd a comfort level.
We  have  a  young  team, 13  sen-
iors, Newton said. The young guys
are  going  to  be  playing  right  away.
They  did  really  well  at  the  younger
level. They have a good understand-
ing  of  our  schemes.  Its  about  how
quickly  they  can  catch  their  groove
and get their condence.
[This year] could go really, really
well.

Were going to make mistakes but
we  have  to  keep  working  hard  and
stay together.
While there arent too many silver
lining-esque  things  about  the  2010
season, one  might  have  been  the
emergence  of  Weyland  Quan, the
Vikings running back. Quan returns
and  will  see  the  majority  of  the  car-
ries  on  offense.  Hell  have  to  come
up big, especially given the inexperi-
ence around him. Well run the ball
quite a bit, throw off the runs. Id say
Weyland  will  get  a  lot  of  carries,
Moss said.
Handing him the ball will be rst-
year varsity quarterback Hershel Lal.
Hes  a  junior, hes  young, so  well
have  to  limit  some  of  the  things  he
does  because  of  his  lack  of  varsity
experience, Moss  said.  But  hope-
fully  week  by  week  hell  get  better
and learn more. In the scrimmage, he
started  a  little  slow, but  he  came  on
more  toward  the  end  and  he  did  a
good job.
The inexperience continues on the
offensive  line  where  the  Vikings
return  only  one  starter  and  will  play
four juniors. 
Defensively, there  is  nothing  left
for the Vikings to do but to improve
after surrendering 469 points in 2010
- by far the biggest total surrendered
in their last seven season and worst in
the Lake Division by 170. 
Were going to be relying on our
athletic ability, Moss said. We have
some  guys  on  defense  that  are  very
athletic. They get to the ball and are a
hard-hitting  group.  Theyre  very
aggressive.
But, as  mentioned, a  lot  of  the
Mills  success  will  rely  on  their
health;  with  Moss  saying  that  the
majority  of  his  offense  will  head  to
the  sideline  and  spring  back  out  on
defense. 
Were  going  to  try  and  work
together, Moss said. Were going to
be  young  and  were  going  to  make
mistakes.  But  as  long  as  we  keep
improving  and  working  hard, well
hopefully  have  some  success.
Hopefully  by  the  time  we  get  to
league, well be ready to go.

DojoUSA World Training Center  San Bruno 
650.589.9148 
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAEGU, South  Korea      Still  fuming
from his false start that knocked him from the
100-meter nal, Usain Bolt crouched slightly
on  the  line  and  waited.  Then  he  zipped  into
the darkness of a deserted practice track.
There, only a short hike from the main sta-
dium, he didnt have to worry about jumping
the gun.
Bolt  missed  out  on  defending  his  title
Sunday  when  he  jumped  from  the  blocks
early  at  the  world  championships.  He  was
disqualied  by  a  highly  debated  zero-toler-
ance false start rule enacted last year.
Hes  human, isnt  he?  I  always  knew  he
was human, said his coach, Glen Mills. He
will pick himself up. Hes a champion.
Just not on this night.
Bolt  knew  instantly  it  was  his  error, too.
Soon after the gun went off, soon after taking
just a few steps out of the blocks, another gun
blasted    the  knot-in-your-stomach  sound
for any sprinter.
Bolts  eyes  grew  big.  He  pulled  his  shirt
over his face, then ripped it off and whipped
it  around  in  his  hand.  Grudgingly, Bolt  left
the  stage  he  has  dominated  since  the  2008
Beijing Olympics.
Instead, it  was  left  to  another  Jamaican  to
wrap  himself  in  the  countrys  ag   Yohan
Blake, a  21-year-old  up-and-comer  that  for-
mer  Olympic  gold  medalist  Maurice  Greene
predicted to win.
Blake  nished  in  a  modest  time  of  9.92
seconds, 0.16  seconds  ahead  of  American
rival  Walter  Dix.  Kim  Collins  of  Saint  Kitts
and Nevis, the 2003 world champion and now
an aging 35-year-old veteran, was third.
Denitely, I  wasnt  focusing  on  beating
Usain, Blake  said.  I  was  just  focusing  on
nishing in the top three.
This  was  also  a  day  that  Oscar  Pistorius,
the  double-amputee  sprinter  known  as  the
Blade  Runner, showed  he  indeed  belongs
on the same track with able-bodied athletes at
big  meets.  Springing  along  on  his  carbon-
ber blades, Pistorius advanced to the semi-
nals of the 400.
A big sense of relief, he said.
On  the  track, it  was  a  big  show  for  the
Americans.  Defending  champion  Trey
Hardee  and  Ashton  Eaton  gave  the  U.S.  its
first  1-2  decathlon  finish  at  the  worlds.
Brittney Reese defended her long jump title,
and Allyson  Felix  breezed  into  the  nals  of
the 400 with an easy win in her heat.
This entire competition was setting up as a
stroll  for  Bolt.  Jamaican  teammate  Asafa
Powell withdrew just before the event began
because of a groin injury, and American rival
Tyson Gay was out with a hip injury. As if to
underscore  how  easy  this  might  be, Bolt
cruised through his previous two rounds.
Then he false started. It wasnt even close.
Hes 6-foot-5 and its clear when he stands up
in the blocks too soon.
His  night  done, Bolt  gathered  his  stuff,
slung  his  backpack  over  his  shoulder  and
headed down the tunnel that leads out of the
stadium. He wouldnt talk, glaring at anyone
who  got  too  close  or  tried  to  ask  any  sort  of
question  as  he  walked  up  a  path.  He  went
through  a  fenced  gate  that  leads  to  the
warmup  track, typically  off  limits  to  all  but
the competitors.
Once  there, he  joined  a  group  of  friends
and  coaches, throwing  down  his  backpack,
taking a swig of water, dumping some on his
head  and  tossing  the  bottle  aside.  He  sat
down briey before jumping up and heading
onto the track.
Bolt  lined  up  in  Lane  6    one  spot  from
his  lane  assignment  in  the  nal    waited  a
second to compose his thoughts and took off
down the runway with just a few eyes watch-
ing  him.  He  traveled  about  100  meters,
turned around, jogged back and went again.
Four times he repeated that. Four times he
paused at the starting line.
He was getting back on the horse again.
After  his  cool-down, some  encouraging
words  from  the  Jamaican  contingent  and  a
quick  massage, Bolt  trudged  across  a  grass
eld  to  catch  a  ride.  Before  he  could  reach
the safety of his car, though, he was met by a
few reporters.
Looking for tears? Not going to happen,
said Bolt, his agitation beginning to subside.
Im OK.
Enough to run the 200 meters?
Youll see on Friday, he said, referring to
the start date of the race.
Change the false-start rule?
Silence.  And  then  the  car  ushered  him
away.
I  didnt  really  think  they  were  going  to
kick  him  out, Dix  said.  How  can  you  kick
Usain out of the race?
This  is  typically  Bolts  stage, but  the
world-record  holder  had  a  little  company
Sunday  in  Pistorius  and  Hardee.  Other  win-
ners  were  Ibrahim  Jeilan  of  Ethiopia
(10,000), Valeriy Borchin of Russia (20-kilo-
meter  walk)  and  Li  Yanfeng  of  China  (dis-
cus).
Still, Bolt found a way to steal the spotlight
from  Pistorius  and  everyone  else.  This  100
will  be  known  not  so  much  for  Blakes
crowning  achievement  but  the  one  in  which
Bolt jumped the gun.

MIRABEL, Quebec   Brittany Lincicome
was  singing  in  the  rain  Sunday  in  the
Canadian Womens Open
I was very patient, singing a lot of songs, very
chatty, Lincicome said after her second LPGA
Tour victory of the season and fth overall.
The  weather  was  not  great, but  I  was  still
having fun. Im denitely going to remember
this win.
To  stay  focused, the  long-hitting American
sings to herself as part of her sports psycholo-
gy program.
She wasnt quite ready for an encore in the
media center.
Im  not  a  good  singer, so  Im  not  singing
for you, she said.
Lincicome, with  former  Canadian  player
A.J.  Eathorne  working  as  her  caddie, saved
par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to edge
defending champion Michelle Wie and Stacy
Lewis by a stroke at Hillsdale Golf & Country
Club.  Lincicome  nished  at  13  under  and
earned $337,500.
I never won on tour myself, so its kind of
cool to say Ive been involved in two wins in
one  year, Eathorne  said.  I  guess, I  never
thought it would get that good, that fast.
Its  been  a  lot  of  fun  this  week  being  a
Canadian  in  Canada.  Everyones  asking  me
why  Im  not  playing  and  obviously  theres  a
very  good  reason  Im  not  playing.  Ive  got  a
great  job.  I  can  be  involved  in  a  win  and  I
know my game is not where it needs to be to
do that.
Lewis shot a 67  the best round of the day
 to match Wie (72) at 12 under.
I  knew  the  day  was  going  to  be  hard  and
you  just  have  to  get  through  it    grind  over
every  putt  and  every  shot, said  Lewis, who
got in 15 holes before the rain started.

OAKLAND    Theres  nothing
like  a  trip  to  Oakland  to  get  Drew
Brees ready for the regular season.
Brees threw for 189 yards and led
New  Orleans  to  scores  on  all  three
drives he played in the Saints 40-20
victory over the Oakland Raiders on
Sunday night.
Brees  completed  15  of  23  passes
and looked almost as sharp as he did
in  his  last  trip  to  Oakland  when  he
led  three  touchdown  drives  in  his
only  series  of  a  45-7  victory  two
years  ago  in  the  third  exhibition
game. The Saints used that regular-
season dress rehearsal to go on and
win their rst 13 games and win the
rst  Super  Bowl  title  in  franchise
history.
The  big  difference  in  this  years
meeting was the Raiders rst-team
offense  looked  much  better  than  it
did  two  years  with  JaMarcus
Russell  at  quarterback.  Jason
Campbell completed 12 of 17 pass-
es  for  150  yards  and  a  touchdown,
capping  his  rst  drive  with  a  35-
yard scoring strike to Derek Hagan.
Hagan, signed  during  training
camp, has become one of Oaklands
most reliable receivers this summer,
catching  six  passes  for  121  yards
this  game.  Rookie  Taiwan  Jones
also  shined  in  his  exhibition  debut,
running  for  81  yards  and  a  touch-
down  and  catching  two  passes  for
18 yards.
Campbell also drove the Raiders to
a  57-yard  eld  goal  by  Sebastian
Janikowski and had Oakland in posi-
tion  for  another  score  before
Jonathon Amayas interception in the
end  zone  on  a  deected  pass  on  the
second-to-last play of the rst half.
Brees night  was  already  over  at
that point, doing more than enough
in  his  three  drives  to  allow  coach
Sean Payton to turn it over to Chase
Daniel and the backups.
Brees was clicking right from the
start, nding  Devery  Henderson  on
a  37-yard  pass  over  rookie
DeMarcus  Van  Dyke  on  the  rst
play from scrimmage. Brees target-
ed  Van  Dyke  three  more  times  in
that drive with rookie Mark Ingram
capping  it  with  a  1-yard  TD  run.

SAN  FRANCISCO      Even  San
Franciscos  most  experienced  offensive
linemen  got  beat  time  and  again  by  the
Texans attacking, smothering defense.
First-year  49ers  coach  Jim  Harbaugh
has  concerns  about  his  offense  as  a
whole and the shaky line play two weeks
ahead  of  the  teams  Sept.  11  season
opener against the defending NFC West
champion Seattle Seahawks.
San Francisco gave up three sacks in a
30-7  exhibition  loss  to  Houston  on
Saturday  night, prompting  Harbaugh  to
say  Sunday  the  Niners  got  violated  at
times. Left  tackle  Joe  Staley  struggled
in  one-on-one  matchups  with  Connor
Barwin. Antonio Smith made the Niners
pay several times, too.
There was little opportunity for the quar-
terbacks  to  succeed  without  reliable  pro-
tection. Starter Alex Smith wound up with
a  dismal  2.8  QB  rating, while  backup
rookie Colin Kaepernick nished at 20.8.
Harbaugh  observed  problems  with
technique and fundamentals on the line.
He  said  Houstons  uncomplicated  pass
rush  should  not  have  wreaked  such
havoc for San Francisco.
It  wasnt  what  the  defense  was  pre-
senting us. It should not have been com-
plex  for  us.  Yet  we  were  violated  at
times, Harbaugh  said.  When  thats
happening, you have to look at all three
phases  of  what  youre  doing    what
youre  doing  schematically, how  youre
doing  it  and  whos  doing  it.  Those  are
the  only  three  things  you  can  focus  on
and thats what well do.
The  Niners  wrap  up  the  exhibition
season  Thursday  night  at  San  Diego.
There  are  some  positive  signs  on  the
defensive  side  of  the  ball, such  as  the
emergence of linebacker Ahmad Brooks
as a starter.
Brooks  intercepted  a  pass  by  Matt
Schaub  on  the  rst  play  of  the  game
Saturday  and  ran  it  back  13  yards  for
San Franciscos lone points.
49ers offensive line needs to make big strides

I
m lucky. All the beings in my home
are pretty good eaters. The kids (and
dad) arent missing any meals. This is
in large part due to my wifes culinary
skills and background. She makes good,
healthy meals and snacks. The kids have
their favorites but she mixes things up, too,
and is an expert when it comes to sneaking
one food into another which disguises it.
Murray doesnt get to sample any of this,
but hes fallen in line as a good eater as
well. Not all owners have it this easy. Many
say their dog will not eat dry food or will
only eat a certain avor of food. The fussi-
ness comes directly from them! People
actually teach their dogs to be picky eaters
by free feeding  leaving food out all day.
Very quickly, the dog realizes he can eat at
any time and he has no routine. If this
sounds like your situation, time to go back
to pet culinary school. Put your dogs food
down for 10 minutes at meal time. If he
hasnt nished, take the food away. When
its time for the next meal (most people
feed their dogs twice per day), feed the
amount you would normally feed; dont
top-off what hes left and double it.
Depending on the dog, hell get it after
one meal or possibly a few days. But he
will get on your schedule. How about vari-
ety? We wonder if dogs can truly be happy
eating the same meal day after day. Dogs
dont need variety the same way do. Still, if
you want to give him something different
that is also good for him, try baby carrots
as a snack. Little known fact: Dogs have
only 10 percent of our capacity to taste.
This makes sense considering many 
mine included  treat cat poop like a deli-
cacy. Whos ready for a big wet dog kiss?

LOS ANGELES      The  Help remained
Hollywoods top draw with $14.3 million on a
slow  late-summer  weekend  whose  business
was  even  more  sluggish  as  many  East  Coast
theaters closed to ride out the storm there.
Irene was downgraded from a hurricane to a
tropical  storm  Sunday, but  the  weekend
already was a lost cause for many theaters in
its path. Studio executives estimate that about
1,000  theaters  shut  down  for  at  least  part  of
the weekend and that business may have been
off 15 to 20 percent because of the storm.
It was a wild weekend, said Dave Hollis,
head of distribution at Disney, which released
DreamWorks  Pictures The  Help. All
things  considered, to  kind  of  come  out  with
business down only 15 to 20 percent is some-
thing to be pretty thankful for.
The Help has been the No. 1 lm for two-
straight  weekends.  The  acclaimed  adaptation
of  Kathryn  Stocketts  novel  about  black
Southern  maids  sharing  stories  about  white
employers  amid  the  civil-rights  movement
raised its domestic total to $96.6 million and
should cross the $100 million mark Tuesday.
Late August often is a dumping ground for
movies  with  slim  commercial  prospects, and
Irene  cut  even  further  into  receipts  for  the
weekends three new wide releases.
Zoe  Saldanas  action  tale  Colombiana,
released  by  Sony, opened  in  second-place
with  $10.3  million.  Guy  Pearce  and  Katie
Holmes horror story Dont Be Afraid of the
Dark, a FilmDistrict release, debuted in third
with $8.7 million. Paul Rudds comedy Our
Idiot  Brother, distributed  by  the  Weinstein
Co., premiered at No. 5 with $6.6 million.
Colombiana features  Avatar star
Saldana as an assassin out for revenge against
the  drug  lords  responsible  for  her  parents
deaths.  Dont  Be  Afraid  of  the  Dark, pro-
duced  by  Guillermo  del  Toro  (Pans
Labyrinth, is  a  remake  of  the  1970s  TV
movie  about  a  household  terrorized  by  tiny,
savage  creatures.  Our  Idiot  Brother stars
Rudd  as  a  happy-go-lucky  guy  doing  time
with  his  three  sisters  after  serving  a  short
prison sentence.
Business was strong Friday night for Dont
Be Afraid of the Dark in the New York City
area, but  as  the  storm  crept  closer  Saturday,
theaters either closed or became ghost towns,
said Bob Berney, FilmDistricts head of distri-
bution.
Berney  said  he  stopped  by  a  theater  com-
plex  in  suburban  Westchester  County
Saturday night and only about 25 people had
turned out for 7:30 p.m. shows.
It was just dead, Berney said. They were
open  but  no  one  was  there, whereas  in
Manhattan, I  think  all  the  theaters  were
closed.
Studios base their weekend reports on actu-
al revenues for Friday and Saturday and esti-
mates for business on Sunday.
But this weekends numbers were more of a
shot in the dark. Some theaters did not report
their  weekend  grosses, and  it  was  uncertain
how  many  cinemas  might  remain  closed
Sunday or how big an audience might turn up
in the wake of the storm.
I think everybody is trying to lean toward
conservative  estimates, said  Rory  Bruer,
head  of  distribution  at  Sony, who  said
Colombiana managed  to  beat  the  studios
projections of an $8 million opening weekend
despite the weather.
Overall  business  plunged, with  domestic
revenues  totaling  $88  million, down  23  per-
cent  from  the  same  weekend  last  year, when
Takers led with $20.5 million, according to
box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com.
Its  not  like  this  was  destined  to  be  a
blockbuster  weekend, anyway, said
Hollywood.com  analyst  Paul  Dergarabedian.
But going to the movies is not a top priority
when  youre  concerned  about  severe  weath-
er.

TRIPOLI, Libya   Retreating loyalists of
Moammar  Gadha killed  scores  of  detainees
and  arbitrarily  shot  civilians  over  the  past
week, as  rebel  forces  extended  their  control
over  the  Libyan  capital, survivors  and  a
human rights group said Sunday.
In  one  case, Gadha ghters  opened  re
and  hurled  grenades  at  more  than  120  civil-
ians huddling in a hangar used as a makeshift
lockup  near  a  military  base, said  Mabrouk
Abdullah, 45, who  escaped  with  a  bullet
wound  in  his  side.  Some  50  charred  corpses
were  still  scattered  across  the  hangar  on
Sunday.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said
the  evidence  it  has  collected  so  far  strongly
suggests that Gadha government forces went
on  a  spate  of  arbitrary  killing  as  Tripoli  was
falling. The  justice  minister  in  the  rebels
interim  government, Mohammed  al-Alagi,
said the allegations would be investigated and
leaders of Gadhas military units put on trial.
So  far, there  have  been  no  specic  allega-
tions of atrocities carried out by rebel ghters,
though human rights groups are continuing to
investigate some unsolved cases.
AP  reporters  have  witnessed  several
episodes  of  rebels  mistreating  detainees  or
sub-Saharan  Africans  suspected  of  being
hired  Gadha guns.  Earlier  this  week, rebels
and their supporters did not help eight wound-
ed  men, presumably  Gadha ghters, who
were stranded in a bombed out re station in
Tripolis  Abu  Salim  neighborhood, some
pleading for water.
Najib  Barakat, the  health  minister  in  the
rebels interim  government, said  Sunday  that
he does not yet have a death toll for the week-
long  battle  for  Tripoli.  Hundreds  have  died
and more bodies, some in advanced stages of
decay, are  still  being  retrieved  from  the
streets.q
Barakat said efforts are being made to iden-
tify  bodies.  At  the  least, the  corpses  of  sus-
pected  Gadhafi  fighters, especially  non-
Libyans, are  being  photographed  before  bur-
ial, to  allow  for  possible  future  identication
by relatives.
In  ghting  late  Sunday, pro-Gadha ele-
ments red Grad rockets at rebel forces gath-
ering in the town of Nawfaliyah, not far from
Gadhas home town of Sirte, rebels said.
Rebels gave residents there 10 days to allow
rebel forces in peacefully or face an assault. A
rebel spokesman said many Gadha loyalists
have ed to Sirte and are preparing for a erce
battle.
Rebels  rode  into  Tripoli  a  week  ago, then
fought  erce  battles  with  Gadha forces,
especially  at  the  former  Libyan  leaders  Bab
al-Aziziya  compound  and  the  Abu  Salim
neighborhood, a regime stronghold.
As the rebels consolidated their control and
Gadha ghters  ed, reports  of  atrocities
began emerging over the weekend.
Human  Rights  Watch  said  it  has  evidence
indicating  regime  troops  killed  at  least  17
detainees in an improvised lockup, a building
of  Libyas  internal  security  service, in  the
Gargur  neighborhood  of  Tripoli.  A  doctor
who examined the corpses said about half had
been  shot  in  the  back  of  the  head  and  that
abrasions on ankles and wrists suggested they
had been bound.
The  group  spoke  to  Osama Al-Swayi  who
had been detained there, along with 24 others.

MANILA, Philippines      Typhoon
Nanmadol  began  blowing  toward  Taiwan  on
Sunday  after  leaving  at  least  10  people  dead
and  scuttling  a  visit  by  a  U.S.  Navy  carrier
group in the Philippines, ofcials said.
Taiwan  issued  sea  and  land  warnings  and
planned to evacuate about 6,000 people in its
eastern  and  southern  regions  as  it  braced  for
the  typhoon.  Troops  and  rescue  equipment
were  deployed, Taiwans  Defense  Ministry
said.
With its enormous cloud band, the typhoon
drenched  the  northern  Philippines  with  rain
for  days  before  pummeling  the  area  with
erce  wind, setting  off  landslides  and  oods
and toppling walls that left at least 10 people
dead  and  six  others  missing.  About  20  were
injured  by  landslides  and  toppled  trees, said
Benito Ramos, who heads the Ofce of Civil
Defense.
Strong winds knocked down a concrete wall
which hit a small eatery in the capitals subur-
ban  Quezon  City  on  Sunday, killing  a  man
and injuring two others, police said.

For  each  particular  business  it  may
need  a  smaller  or  larger  footprint  or
want  to  be  closer  or  further  away  from
the  freeway, Sawicki  said.  A  lot  of
companies  want  to  be  here.  The  hard
part  is  nding  out  where  they  would
go.
Another consideration is proximity to
existing  locations, such  as  those  at
Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo
like  Abercrombie  and  Fitch, Aldo,
Build-A-Bear  and  the  Great  Steak  and
Potato Co. 
To  compile  the  list  of  best  matches,
consulting  group  Buxton  looked  at  San
Carlos consumer  proles  and  resident
demographics. The evaluation also took
into  consideration  what  businesses  San
Carlos draws from outside the city to it
and  what  residents  are  going  elsewhere
to  nd. The  Brittan  Corners/San  Carlos
Marketplace  shopping  center  on
Industrial Boulevard was used as the pri-
mary site to measure both within a range
of seven minute and 15 minute drives. 
Even if the city doesnt have the space
or  facilities  available  now  for  certain
businesses, it  doesnt  hurt  to  begin  a
conversation with them and the list helps
identify  future  opportunities, Sawicki
said.
For  example, the  city  connected  with
In-N-Out  before  it  found  a  home  at
Holly Street and Industrial Road. 
Peets Coffee also was interested for a
while  but  nothing  t  until  Blockbuster
left a prime corner at Cherry and Laurel
streets in downtown, Sawicki said.

WISH
replaced  the  chief  of  police  and  the
Legislature created a citizens oversight
board for the BART police among other
changes.  
Then  on  July  3, another  ofcer  shot
and killed a man who police said lunged
at him with a knife.
Almost  instantly, the  police  were
thrust  back  into  the  headlines  and
assailed  as  dangerous  and  incompetent
by  vocal  critics  and  activist  groups
organized after Grants death. 
No  Justice, no  peace, protesters
chanted  at  the  rowdy  demonstrations.
Disband the BART police.
The departments reputation then suf-
fered  even  greater  harm  when  BART
ofcials  tried  to  head  off  a  planned
protest over the latest shooting by turn-
ing off wireless access in San Francisco
stations on Aug. 11.
The  tactic  worked  when  the  protest
failed  to  materialize, but  community
groups, civil  libertarians  and  others
accused  BART  of  unfairly  stiing  free
speech.  BART  ofcials  said  the  tactic
was legal. 
Even the boards most outspoken crit-
ic of the police, Lynette Sweet, defend-
ed  the  department  as  vastly  improved
since  Grants  death  and  the  installation
of a new chief, Kenton Rainey. 
Sweet  called  the  cutting  of  cellphone
service a mistake and said it has resulted
in the continued bashing of the police. 
Disbanding  our  police  force  is  not
the  way  to  go, she  said.  Our  police
force is changing for the better.
Sweet  also  noted  the  police  are  now
accountable  to  a  new, 11-person  citi-
zens  review  board  created  by  the  state
Legislature.  The  review  board, which
Sweet sits on, met for the rst time July
12 to discuss the latest shooting death.
Still, she complained that shutting off
the  wireless  service  was  another  step
backward  for  BART  and  the  police
department, saying  it  was  like  pouring
gas on our own re.
Sweet  said  rather  than  trying  to  stie
protesters, police  and  BART  leaders
should  have  used  the  occasion  of  the
July shooting to discuss how the depart-
ment has changed since Grants death.
We  have  to  combat  this  public  rela-
tions  nightmare  we  created  in  2009,
Sweet said.
A lot of folks are condemning BART
for what happened in 2009 and equating
to it what just happened in 2011, Sweet
said. Its not fair and its not right. But
it is what it is.
Rainey  insisted  his  ofcers  receive
more  training  than  most  California  law
enforcement ofcials and that he is try-
ing  to  reach  out  to  various  groups,
including BART critics.
Still, the  defense  of  the  police  at
Wednesdays  special  meeting  wasnt
enough  for  BARTs  critics    new  and
old.
The  loosely  organized  hacker  group
Anonymous  that  called  for  two  demon-
strations  the  last  two  Mondays  over  the
cellphone  service  cut  and  other  groups
said  they  would  continue  to  demon-
strate.
The time for making token improve-
ments to your embarrassment of a police
force  passed  decades  ago, said
Krystoff, the  leader  of  the  group  No
Justice, No Bart who says he only uses
one name, to the board.
We  dont  want  your  slightly
improved version of a murderous, unac-
countable, corrupt  police  force.  So  we
arent asking you to try to x anything,
he said. We simply do not trust you to
run a police force at all.
Anonymous  has  called  for  another
protest Monday after the BARTs board
last  week  refused  to  even  discuss  dis-
banding the force.
The BART police were put in place in
1972  in  time  for  BARTs  opening  after
local law enforcement ofcials said they
foresaw  jurisdictional  disputes  and
problems  because  the  transit  lines  cut
through four counties and several cities.
Because  of  its  sprawling  jurisdiction,
law enforcement experts said the police
will  have  more  difculty  than  other
agencies  as  they  try  to  improve  its
image. 
Local  police  departments  with  dam-
aged  public  images  can  more  rebuild
their  reputations  through  outreach, said
Joseph  McNamara, a  former  San  Jose
police  chief  who  is  a  law  enforcement
scholar at Stanford Universitys Hoover
Institution. 
While  BART  ofcials  and  police  are
attempting  to  do  just  that    reaching
out to the public and trying to establish
roots  in  the  community  it  serves    he
said the department faces immense hur-
dles because of the vast geographic area
it covers.
Theyre covering huge areas with 24
hours of service and thats an incredibly
difcult  job  of  policing, McNamara
said.  Thats...far  different  than  the
responsibilities of local police.

The companys marquee products are
its  salsas, chips, guacamole  and
papusas, all  made  fresh  every  day  in
Millbrae.
The company has a 12 percent growth
rate, said  Chief  Financial  Ofcer  Bob
Nazarenus, and has plans for expansion.
It  moved  from  a  5,000-square-foot
facility in San Francisco 10 years ago to
a  larger  20,000-square-foot  facility  in
Millbrae.
Being  in  Millbrae  allows  Casa
Sanchez  to  get  its  products  to  retailers
throughout  the  Bay Area  much  quicker
than in San Francisco, Sanchez said.
It  takes  less  than  a  day  to  make  the
salsas  from  fresh  produce  daily, pack
them and ship them to local retailers.
Its  products  are  sold  in  Safeway,
Whole  Foods, Lunardis, Draegers  and
many  other  grocery  stores  locally.  The
company  also  just  signed  a  deal  with
Costco  to  distribute  handmade  papusas
made from scratch daily, said Leo Avila,
a salesman who has been with the com-
pany for seven years.
The  companys  success  has  attracted
the attention of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-San Mateo, who visited Casa Sanchez
last week.
Congress  has  a  mission  to  promote
products  manufactured  in  America  and
Speier  has  made  it  a  point  to  highlight
local companies that manufacture prod-
ucts in her district.
Last  week, she  spent  time  with  the
companys  master  salsa  maker, Alfonso
Meza, with  Casa  Sanchez  for  19  years;
Juan  Castillo, who  leads  sales;
Rosemarie  Ramos, operations  manager,
and  a  host  of  other  employees  to  hear
what  Congress  can  do  to  help  make
these  small  manufacturing  companies
more successful.
The  company  has  an  eye  for  growth,
but securing the nancing from banks is
its  biggest  obstacle  now, said
Nazarenus.
Banks  are  willing  to  give  loans  to
small companies for big purchases such
as  new  machinery, Nazarenus  said, but
not for operations.
Operations  capital  is  needed, he  said,
because Casa Sanchez suffers highs and
lows in sales throughout the year.
Sales pick up during the Super Bowl,
March  Madness, Fourth  of  July, Cinco
de Mayo and other holidays but decline
in during other times of the year, he said.
Getting  through  the  periods  of  low
sales is the companys biggest obstacle,
he said.
It takes 75 days from the purchase of
a tomato to realize a return, Nazarenus
said.
Casa Sanchez also suffers from rising
food  costs, including  high  price  swings
for  avocados, and  rising  fuel  costs,
which  the  company  absorbs  rather  than
passing the cost off to its customers.
But  the  quickness  in  which  Casa
Sanchez  products  fly  off  the  shelf
ensures  Nazarenus  that  demand  is  high
for the companys fresh salsas and chips.
People are becoming more conscious
of  where  their  food  is  made, Speier
said.  People  are  looking  for  locally-
produced, organic and sustainable prod-
ucts. I think people are willing to spend
a  little  more  knowing  jobs  are  created
locally.
Speier  sampled  all  of  the  companys
products during her visit.
I  think  people  will  have  a  greater
appreciation  for  the  product  if  they  can
see how it is made, Speier said.
The company previously bought some
of  its  fresh  produce  from  markets  out-
side of California but has since eliminat-
ed  the  practice.  Now, every  tomato,
onion  or  other  produce  the  company
uses  in  its  products  are  grown  in  the
state.
The  quality  is  not  as  good  and  the
shelf life decreases when you buy over-
seas, Sanchez said.
A  fourth  generation  of  the  Sanchez
family now works in the Millbrae facto-
ry over the summers, Sanchez said.
The company will hire young people,
old people or anyone willing to get their
hands dirty, Sanchez said.
This  company  was  built  by  family
and  thats  what  it  is    a  family  busi-
ness, Sanchez said.

CASA
MONDAY, AUG. 29, 2011
Although your goals and desires might not be real-
ized in rapid succession in the year ahead, they can 
be reached one by one. If youre not too impatient, 
substantial improvements can be made that will 
better your lifestyle. 
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre planning a 
group endeavor, get on the horn and do something 
about bringing those you need together. People wont 
jump on your bandwagon unless theyre asked.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont be surprised if it 
seems like everybodys attention is focused on you. 
Because of the genuine concern you show for them, 
people cant help being drawn to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- What makes you such 
a standout among your peers is your philosophical 
outlook, which helps you to not only acquire knowl-
edge but also to easily disseminate it as needed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even some of your 
opponents will be in awe of the way you handle chal-
lenging developments that suddenly arise. While oth-
ers are scurrying for cover, youll be settling things.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you tend to 
handle things single-handedly, you might establish a 
temporary partnership for mutual reasons. Once your 
purposes are accomplished, youll go your own way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There wont be 
anything selfsh about your current outlook. In fact, 
your primary concern will be that others fare as well 
as you. Youll even offer whatever help you can.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dan Cupid is likely to 
be either looking to revitalize an old romance for you 
or casing the scene for a new target at which he can 
aim. In either case, things look good.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Getting off to a good 
start early in the week will help make the work you 
need to accomplish much easier to fnish within the 
next few days. Youll be ahead of schedule.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone who can 
make your heart beat faster might display much 
more than a platonic interest in you. Itll be up to you 
to let him or her know it is welcomed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because youve been 
extra nice to a number of pals lately, they might want 
to do something special for you, each in his or her 
own way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its quite possible that 
even those friends who are closest to you arent aware 
of your wants and desires. Thus, you cant expect any 
help from them unless you verbalize your desires.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some of your greatest 
benefts this week are likely to come from people 
you dont even know. They wont be purposely doing 
things on your behalf; itll just turn out that way.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION
A notice, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (Public Re-
sources  Code  21,000,  et  sec.)  that  the  following  project  will  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the 
environment. 
Project Name: Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance 
Applicant: City of Millbrae 
Project Location: Entire city limits of the City of Millbrae 
Project  Description:  The  proposed  ordinance  will  prohibit  the  distribution  of  single-use  plastic 
and paper carryout bags from supermarkets and grocery stores in the City of Millbrae for point of 
sale purchases. The ordinance will allow affected supermarkets and grocery stores to distribute 
either a recycled content paper bag or a reusable bag, as defined, for a store charge. Under the 
ordinance,  recycled  content  paper  bags  may  be  sold  to  customers  for  a  minimum  fee  of  $0.10 
and are defined as not being made from old growth fiber, are made from a minimum of 40% post 
consumer recycled content, and are 100% recyclable. Pursuant to the ordinance, reusable bags 
may be given away only during time-limited promotional events.
The proposed ordinance encourages voluntary compliance by all other retail establishments that 
distribute single-use carryout bags.
The proposed ordinance will not affect restaurants and fast-food establishments. The ordinance 
will  not  apply  to  protective  bags  such  as  meat/produce  bags,  newspaper  bags,  pharmaceutical 
bags, flat greeting card bags, dry cleaning bags, bakery item bags, and bags that hold live plants 
or small hardware items. 
Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this notice is to inform you that City Staff has recommended 
that a Negative Declaration be approved for this project. Based upon substantial evidence in the 
record,  staff  finds  that  the  proposed  project  could  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  environ-
ment.  A  public  hearing  for  the  proposed  project  is  tentatively  scheduled  for  the  City  Council  on 
Tuesday,  October  11,  2011,  in  the  City  Council  Chambers,  621  Magnolia  Avenue,  Millbrae,  CA 
94030. It should be noted that the adoption of a Negative Declaration does not constitute appro-
val of the project under consideration. The decision to approve or deny the project will be made 
separately.
Public Review Period: Begins: September 12, 2011 Ends: October 11, 2011 
Public Comments regarding the correctness, completeness, or adequacy of this Negative Decla-
ration  are  invited  and  must  be  received  on  or  before  the  end  of  the  review  period  listed  above. 
Such comments should be based on specific environmental concerns. Written comments should 
be  addressed  to  the  attention  of  David  Petrovich,  City  Planner,  621  Magnolia  Avenue,  Mill-
brae,  CA  94030. For  additional  information  regarding  this  Negative  Declaration,  please  contact
