Hotel tax hike could spell big dollars

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Measures on Tuesdays ballot to increase hotel taxes could be large revenue generators for two cities as area hotel occupancy is running high and may be even stronger due to two large sporting events coming

to the Bay Area. Both Redwood City and Foster City are asking voters to approve increases to the transient occupancy tax, the percentage charged for each nights stay at an overnight establishment. The tax is a common target for jurisdictions looking to raise revenue but is dependent upon just

how many rooms are actually booked. In San Mateo County, everything has been on the rise for months, said Anne LeClair, president and CEO of the San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The last 24 months straight have

seen daily occupancy up 17 percent, she said. That could spell good news for Redwood City and Foster City, whose ofcials are asking voters to increase the transient occupancy tax to 12 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively. The tax measures must pass by a

simple majority in the Nov. 8 election. And while city ofcials cant ofcially lobby for their passage, members in both cities have trumpeted the taxes as a way to generate revenue and help fund vital services.

Gas pipeline bursts,debris hits freeway

KORE CHAN/DAILY JOURNAL

The city of Burlingame may name a new pedestrian overpass at Highway 101 after former mayor Rosalie OMahony,who served on the City Council for 20 years before losing a re-election bid in 2009.

A natural gas pipeline that was undergoing safety testing burst open Sunday afternoon, sending water, mud and rocks across northbound Interstate 280 at Farm Hill Boulevard. The burst line was rst detected a little before 3:30 p.m., when a driver contacted the Woodside Fire Department, saying that a large geyser of water was getting cars on both sides of the freeway wet, said Battalion Chief Kevin Butler. Moments later, an explosion was reported in the same area, along with a large volume of flowing water. When reghters arrived on the scene, they found a large amount of mud, rocks and debris from the hill-

side east of the freeway scattered across the northbound lanes. There was also a faint smell of natural gas, Butler said. Butler said they learned that PG&E had been conducting hydrostatic testing of natural gas pipelines in the area, meaning that water is pumped through the lines to detect any weak points. After the area tested safe for gas levels, re crews searched the hillside next to the freeway and located a 5 foot by 5 foot crater caused by a ruptured gas line. The crater was located in an easement running behind homes, and the closest house was about 100 yards away, Butler said. The pipeline that burst had been

City to recognize former mayor Redwood City construction

Its one small step forward in safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, she said. She cited a nearly 40-year old study that found the need Rosalie for improveOMahony ments then. Its only gotten worse since, OMahony said, adding that she remains hopeful that a new intersection will be built in the future. Infrastructure needs aside OMahony is delighted at the possibility of having her name attached to that small step. She has been a vocal advocate for infrastructure updates as a way to support the community. And this, a perfect example, of the kind of thing OMahony, who still represents the city on a couple of commissions, would support. Mayor Terry Nagel added OMahony deserves the recognition noting the citys veteran advocate helped gain nancial support for transportation projects but also the library renovations and updates to the Broadway streetscape in the 90s. Naming the overpass after

Recognizing former Burlingame mayor Rosalie OMahony could be done in numerous ways but nothing seems more appropriate than naming the pedestrian and bike overpass at Broadway, a recommendation before the City Council Monday. OMahony, whose 20-year tenure on the City Council ended in 2009, agreed. But it wasnt about her, when she called to discuss the proposal. Rather than discuss the possible honor, OMahony quickly began explaining how the project is a small slither of what is needed at the Broadway overpass.

Occupy protests inspires T-shirts,trademark bids
SAN FRANCISCO The revolution will be trademarked and put on T-shirts if an increasing number of entrepreneurs succeed in their attempts to prot from the Occupy demonstrations. A few T-shirts began to appear several days after the rst protest began on Sept. 17 with a march through the streets of lower Manhattan. Now, T-shirts, coffee mugs and other merchandise emblazoned with Occupy locations and slogans are being offered online and amid the camp sites that have sprung up in cities across the country. A number of merchandise vendors, clothing designers and others are making plans to market a wide-variety of goods for a wide-variety of reasons even as some protesters decry the business plans as directly counter to the demonstrations goals. In recent weeks, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Ofce has received a spate of applications from enterprising merchandisers, lawyer and others seeking to win exclusive commercial rights to such phrases as We are the 99 percent, Occupy and Occupy DC 2012. Organizers of the protest centered in Manhattans Zuccotti Park went so far as to le for a trademark of Occupy Wall Street after several other applications connected to the demonstrations were led with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Ofce. Wylie Stecklow, a lawyer representing the protesters, said the Oct. 24 ling was done to prevent proteering from a movement many say is a protest of corporate greed. I would like to ensure that this isnt coopted for commercial purposes, Stecklow said. The trademark can be used for noncommercial purposes. Stecklows application was one of three led with the U.S. PTO seeking to trademark either Occupy Wall Street or Occupy Wall St. Vince Ferraro, a small businessman based in Arizona, applied to trademark Occupy Wall Street a few hours after Stecklow. Ferraro declined to discuss his plans if he wins the trademark. If I prevail, he said, I believe there are opportunities in commerce not directly related to the movement. Both Stecklow and Ferraro were beat to the trademark ofce by a Long Island couple who led for Occupy Wall St. on Oct. 16. Robert and Diane Maresca paid $975 for the application, which said they intended to put the phrase on a wide-variety of products. They couldnt be reached for comment. But on Thursday, the couple withdrew their application, leaving Stecklows clients and Ferraro as the only two competing to own Occupy Wall Street. USPTO lawyer Cynthia Lynch said that when the trademark ofce is confronted with similar applications, it gives priority to the rst application received. However, she said the trademark ofce also takes into consideration whether the phrase was in wide use before the rst application was led. Stecklow, the attorney for the protesters, says he believed his clients will prevail because theyve been using the phrase Occupy Wall Street for months before the rst application was led. The USPTOs Lynch declined to discuss specic applications and said it takes about three months for the ofce to make an initial determination. This rush to trademark was entirely expected and predictable because this is what everybody does, said Ron Coleman, a trademark attorney and author of a popular trademark blog. The irony is too rich. Coleman predicted the New York protesters would prevail because theyve been using the phrase the longest. Nonetheless, he questioned how the trade-

hen Gaspar de Portola and his men made their brief visit to the Woodside area in November 1769, the beauty of the redwood hills to the west was of little concern to them. Having left San Diego in July, they cut their way through the coastal brush, forded rivers and streams and were tied to their horses because of the scurvy that ravished their body. They were not in the mood to appreciate the pleasant site to their west. After they retraced their footsteps back on their way to Monterey, all they could think of was how fast they needed to get out of the area. It wasnt until a few years later that the Spanish discovered the uniqueness of the redwoods. In addition to them being beautiful magnicent products of nature, they could be extremely useful as building material for their churches. These men who came to explore the redwood forest along the Santa Cruz Mountains soon found that, although these monstrous trees were theirs for the taking, they were too big to easily manage for a trip to the tip of the Peninsula (Mission Dolores) or to their edgling pueblo of San Jose and Santa Clara Mission. Lacking wagons (carratas), the logs had to be dragged to the missions through ravines, over hills and along El Camino Real for many miles to be any use to them. All this after they cut down the 4-foot, 5-foot and larger logs with the only tools they had bought with them from Mexico iron axes.

diameter, and took only the smaller trees. The trip back to their communities had to be a test few men wanted. In 1840, a young Irishman a deserter from the British Navy, John Coppinger, married a Mexican woman, Luisa Soto, and received a 12,000-acre grant in these redwood trees (present day Woodside and part of Portola Valley) from Gov. Juan Alvarado. He named this the Rancho Canada Raymundo and built

a substantial dwelling at the corner of Woodside and Kings Mountain roads. The grant stretched for ve miles through the south end of a beautiful valley, bordering the Feliz Rancho on the north and the Corte Madera Rancho on the south and extending to the summit of the Santa Cruz range. It was heavily timbered with redwood, oak and other trees. However, the terrain was steep, extremely rugged and did not invite lumbering activity on the slopes. Due to these reasons, very little lumbering activity occurred until the late 1840s when a building boom on the Peninsula occurred. At the beginning of the 1840s, only a few hundred individuals lived along the Peninsula. However, by the end of 1840s, tens of thousands of people had migrated to the area. Coppinger died in 1847. Charles Brown also built a house in 1841 at the corner of Kings Mountain and Woodside roads. The rst sawmill in the area was constructed by him, who was the owner of 2,800 acres of Mountain Home ranch in 1849. Brown represented the temperament and climate of the times. He was a restless, opportunistic individual who was constantly brawling and engaging in reckless business ventures. He spent time in the San Jose jail due to the vices. Raphael Soto, a Mexican, was granted Rancho Rinconada on the Arroyo de San Francisco. It is now Palo Alto. His daughter married an Irishman, John Greer, in August 1850.

Celebrating lost details

When her grandmother began forgetting small details, it was a struggle for Nicole Maxali and her family. Maxali, a 31-year-old from San Bruno, recalled her fathers reaction when his mother didnt recognize him as her son. Maxalis grandmother, Encar Villanueva, did recognize her. Watching someone you love struggle comes can create stress for the family but also unintentional comedic moments. Maxalis family is far from unique when it comes to dealing with Alzheimers. In the Bay Area, about 75,000 people over the age of 65 are dealing with the disease. Rather than put the family and personal struggles out of her mind, Maxali decided to use it as inspiration for her first full-length one-woman show Forgetting the Details, which opens in San Francisco Thursday, Nov. 10.

Reward in cat drowning up to $8,400

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The reward for information leading to whoever tied a ve-pound weight around a cats neck and threw it into a Redwood Shores lagoon to drown continues to grow. The reward, which began with $1,000 offered by the Peninsula Humane Society, now stands at $8,4000 after several people and businesses added to the pot after learning of the tragic incident. PHS ofcials are hopeful the hefty reward will lead to answers. Somebody knows something that will help us, said spokesperson Scott Delucchi. And, $8,400 is a lot of money. Our chances of nding the person responsible have only increased the past few days with the media

attention and the generous donations to our reward fund. PHS is also trying to locate the owner of the 12-year-old black and white male cat. They are scouring lost cat reports and have left some messages but have yet to conrm an owner. The cats front paws were declawed, leading PHS ofcials to believe it was a pet, but had no identifying collar or microchip. On Wednesday, a Redwood City sewer worker brought the deceased cat to PHS on Wednesday afternoon and reported nding him in the Redwood Shores lagoon behind 1 and 3 Lagoon Drive. A PHS veterinarian believes the cat had been in the water two to three days and a necropsy Friday conrmed what ofcials had assumed the animal was alive when thrown in the water.

[S]omeone intentionally killed him in a horric, unimaginable way, Delucchi said. PHS handles a few cases of deliberate animal cruelty each year but the drowning is unusual, Delucchi said. PHS put up the initial $1,000 reward for information on Wednesday but by Thursday, following news reports, a resident added $250 and the owner of the Swinging Door Pub in

San Mateo also joined the effort with another $1,000. Pet Food Express contributed $2,750 and residents also donated funds, bringing the total as of Saturday to $8,400. Anyone with information can contact PHS/SPCA at 340-7022 ext. 384. Those wanting to contribute to the reward or generally support PHSs anti-cruelty efforts should call 340-7022 ext. 327.

Report: Officer charged in death gets L.A.pension

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Los Angeles ofcials are calling for a review of the pension paid to one of the two Fullerton police officers charged in the death of a mentally ill homeless man during a violent arrest. Jay Cicinelli, a former Los Angeles Police Department ofcer injured on the job, annually receives 70 percent of his salary some $39,625 as a disability pension, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. Cicinelli lost an eye when he was shot during a trafc stop in 1996. The LA Fire and Police Pensions Department approved the large sum because it was unclear at the time whether Cicinelli could continue to work in law enforcement.

But soon after leaving the LAPD, Cicinelli was hired by the Fullerton Police Department, where he went on to earn $88,544 a year on top of his benets from Los Angeles. He worked for the Fullerton department for 12 years and rose to the rank of corporal. The LA pensions department decided to take another look at the award in August, after Cicinelli was named in the killing of 37-yearold Kelly Thomas during a July 5 ght that involved ve other Fullerton ofcers. The departments board will vote soon on whether to review the pension. A review would not necessarily lead to the award being stripped, but it could mean Cicinellis benets would be reduced to 30 percent of his nal salary, the Times said.

Oasis or mirage? Company wants water in Mojave

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CADIZ Off historic Route 66 in the heart of the California desert the barren landscape of dry scrub and rock abruptly gives way to an oasis of tall green trees heavy with lemons and grape vines awaiting next months harvest. Some believe this lush farm in the unlikeliest of places also sits atop a partial solution to Southern Californias water woes. By tapping into an aquifer the size of Rhode Island under the 35,000acre Cadiz ranch, proponents say they can supply 400,000 people with drinking water in only a few years. If the plan sounds familiar, it is. A decade ago, Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District narrowly rejected it when it faced widespread environmental opposition. A scaled back version has resurfaced with a greener pitch, momentum from ve water agencies and what the company claims is better science

to win over skeptics. Do we need additional water supplies? Yes. Do we need groundwater storage? Yes, said Winston Hickox, a Cadiz board member who headed the California Environmental Protection Agency. The question is OK, environmental community, what are your remaining concerns? I dont know. But conservationists including the Sierra Club remain worried. Critics say the company has misrepresented the size of the aquifer and that mining it could harm the threatened desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, as well as the nearby Mojave National Preserve which has some of the densest and oldest Joshua tree forests in the world. Concerns over rare desert species were also echoed by state Department of Fish and Game biologists in March. Conservationists also worry tampering with an aquifer in a place where water is so scarce could cause dust storms.

Centered near Sparks, 44 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, it could be felt throughout the state and in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, northern Texas and some parts of Illinois and Wisconsin. It followed a magnitude 4.7 quake early Saturday that was felt from Texas to Missouri. The aftershocks included two that were magnitude 4.0, one about 4 a.m. Sunday and one about 9 a.m., USGS said. The smallest aftershock it recorded was magnitude 2.7. USGS seismologist Paul Earle in Golden, Colo., said the aftershocks will likely continue for several days and could continue for months.

Oklahoma typically has about 50 earthquakes a year, and 57 tornadoes, but a burst of quakes east of Oklahoma City has contributed to a sharp increase. Researchers said 1,047 quakes shook Oklahoma last year, prompting them to install seismographs in the area. The reason for the increase isnt known, and Turner said there was no immediate explanation for the weekend spurt in seismic activity. Several homeowners and businesses reported cracked walls, fallen knickknacks and other minor damage. Brad Collins, the spokesman for St. Gregorys University in Shawnee, said one of the four towers on its castle-looking administration building had collapsed and the other three towers were damaged. He estimated the towers were about 25 feet tall.

Bombs kill 8 in Baghdad market, Iraqi police say
BAGHDAD Three bombs ripped through a sprawling Baghdad market Sunday, killing eight people at the beginning of a Muslim religious holiday and just hours after the prime minister warned of Iraqs continued danger. Police said the bombs were planted in different parts of the Shorja market in downtown Baghdad, striking as shoppers were preparing for this weeks Eid al-Adha feast. City health

ofcials conrmed the death toll released by the police and said 19 people were also injured. A thick black plume of smoke from the bombs hovered over the Tigris River and could be seen against Baghdads skyline. All ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Hours earlier, Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki urged his security forces to step up their vigilance against violence. Al-Maliki said continued threats show that insurgents still want to prevent Iraq from becoming a stable nation.

Syrian troops kill 11 despite accord

By Zeina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrians in the restive region of Homs performed special prayers for a major Muslim holiday to the sound of explosions and gunre as government troops pushed forward their assault on the area, killing at least 11 people Sunday, residents and activists said. The violence on the rst day of Eid alAdha, or Feast of the Sacrice, added to fears that a peace plan brokered by the Arab League last week was unraveling and prompted Qatars prime minister to call for an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss the Syrian governments failure to abide by its commitments. Egypts ofcial news agency MENA reported that Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jabr Al

Thani called for the meeting in light of the continuing acts of violence and the Syrian governments noncompliance with the terms of the Arab plan. Violence has continued unabated, though Damascus agreed to halt its crackdown on the 7-month-old uprising that the U.N. says has left some 3,000 people dead. Under the Arab League plan, Syrias government agreed to pull tanks and armored vehicles out of cities, release political prisoners and allow journalists and rights groups into the country. It is a very painful situation here in Homs, said a city resident reached by telephone and speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals. The holiday will come for us only when we are free from this regime.

Weapons in Libya missing

By Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIPOLI, Libya Some weapons depots in Libya have still not been secured properly, and much has already gone missing from unguarded sites, the top U.N. envoy in Libya said in an interview Sunday. Preventing more weapons from being smuggled out of country will be difcult, considering the nature of the vast desert nations borders, the envoy, Ian Martin, said. That has to be a priority now, to secure what still remains in Libya, he said. Over time, the international community can assist Libya and its neighbors with that, but I am afraid there is not a quick and easy solution to that problem. During the chaos of Libyas 8-month civil war, human rights groups and reporters came

across a number of weapons depots that were left unguarded and were looted after Moammar Gadhas ghters ed. Martin said the unsecured weapons remain a very, very serious cause for concern. He said they include shoulder-held missiles, mines and ammunition. Its clear that much has already gone missing from unsecured locations and that there are still locations which have not been properly secured, he said. Martin noted progress concerning chemical weapons and nuclear material. Last week, Libyan ofcials said they discovered two new sites with chemical weapons that had not been declared by the Gadha regime when it vowed several years ago to stop pursuing non-conventional weapons. Ofcials also said they found about 7,000 drums of raw uranium.

OPINION
pening in these two cities, I say we are lucky we have the system we have. San Mateos problems come because it has a smaller population and is wedged between two major metropolitan areas San Francisco and San Jose. Taken as a whole, we are lucky to live here and have such a good crop of candidates willing to sacrice their time, energy and families for public ofce. I dont think we will see any Occupy B Street movement here. Local sympathizers will probably head to San Francisco to join the demonstration there. *** Jerry Brown is a brave man or else he isnt planning to run again for governor. His pension proposals are anathema to the unions who were his most generous supporters in his recent and past elections. His plan would raise the retirement age for most new employees from 55 to 67. His proposal would affect state, city, county and other public workers, including teachers, police and reghters. However, non-t public safety employees would be allowed to retire with full benets before the age of 67. The governor also suggests that all public employees match the governments contribution to their retirement savings. His plan would also curb the practice of pension spiking whereby an employee receives a raise shortly before retiring or cashes out unpaid vacation to boost the pension payout. *** While public employees should not pay for the mistakes made on Wall Street, there is no question that pension reform is long overdue. For cities and school districts, generous retirement benets are creating an albatross of unfunded future liabilities. It is doubtful whether the governors entire plan will be enacted. But two elements should. It makes sense to raise retirement age to 67 when people are living longer and middle age now starts at around 55. The practice of adding vacation leave and last-minute salary increases to boost payouts is unsavory. *** Congratulations to Jeff Steinberg and Sojourn to the Past for winning a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award in Washington, D.C. last week. Jeff, a former high school teacher, is from an illustrious Millbrae family. His brother, Darrell, is state Senate President pro Tem. Sojourn takes high school students from throughout the country on a yearly 10-day visit to civil rights markers in the south. To date, 6,200 teens have participated including Aragon senior Allyson Kiefer who will be voting for the rst time tomorrow.

Occupy B Street?
ill national politics have any effect on tomorrows vote? Not really. People are in a sour mood when it comes to Washington and Sacramento but generally they are satised with their local ofcials. There doesnt seem to be a drive to throw the rascals out. In most cases, incumbents have an excellent chance of being returned to ofce. As for the several school bonds and parcel taxes on the ballot, people usually vote their pocket books. School bonds and parcel taxes do fairly well in San Mateo County. But it also depends on the area. It may be tougher to achieve a two-thirds vote in areas where more people are hurting economically. With several school issues on the ballot parcel taxes in Burlingame and Pacica; school bonds in Millbrae and San Bruno it may make the countywide community college bond which needs just 55 percent more difcult to pass. *** Fortunately, we dont live in Oakland or San Francisco where weak political leadership has muddled the response to Occupy Wall Street. Fortunately, we dont live in Oakland or San Francisco where rank voting has and will create a political mess. Some pundits have complained in the past that San Mateo County gets left out because we dont have a big city mayor. After a look at whats hap-

Letters to the editor

Every citizen should vote
Editor, Once again its election day a time for all U.S. citizens to exercise our right and privilege to vote have your say! Everyday we see in other countries of the world that their citizens are rioting and ghting for their right to have a say in their non-democratic government. Our America was born on democratic principles, its not perfect, but we do have free and open elections and we are well informed in casting our ballots. We have no excuse not to vote. To not vote is un-American. To those of you who fail to vote, saying your voting doesnt count, or that you cant ght all the policies, etc.all the more reason to vote. I always think back when Ben Franklin was asked at the conclusion of the adoption of our U.S. Constitution: What have thy wrought? He said, A Republic, if you can keep it. I hope all citizens understand his meaning. In my opinion, Ben Franklin was our greatest American and the U.S. Constitution is the greatest document ever written. We have to keep government of, by and for the people i tact by 100 percent turnout in all elections. Walter Haag Millbrae

City Elections Jackie Speiers public relations stunt

Editor, In the Nov. 1 edition, the Daily Journal published a front page story of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers anguish with trying to shop and eat on less than $5 a day on government assistance. The tears were owing from my eyes. This was all staged as a public relations event for Speier. Does anyone think and believe that Speier cares about the working poor or the unemployed? Politicians are beholden to lobbyists and special interests, not to the citizens that voted for him or her. Speier would be better off visiting with local business owners and asking what she could do to help them and their businesses thrive, hire and grow. Your paper gave Speier the publicity and attention she wanted. Hopefully your readers saw through this farce and asked, Doesnt Congresswoman Speier have anything else better to do while our country descends into a depression? Steve Duncan Burlingame

Emerging markets suffer

By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK It sounded like a cant-miss proposition: Buy the winners, drop the losers. Developing countries from Brazil to China are expanding much faster than aging economies in the U.S. and Europe, where borrowing during the boom years has been a drag on growth. So the smart money bought stocks in emerging markets, expecting that rapid economic expansion there would provide better rewards. This year, that bet hasnt worked out. The broadest measure of U.S. stocks, the Standard & Poors 500 index, is down just 0.4 percent this year. Markets in Brazil, China and the like have lagged far behind, even though their economies

are still growing faster than the U.S. If you were anywhere in the world other than in the S&P 500 this year, you got crushed, said Greg Peterson, director of research at Ballentine Partners, an investment advisory rm. The main reason emerging market stocks have suffered deeper losses isnt because their economies are suddenly sluggish. Analysts say its because people have been worried about the European debt crisis and a possible recession in the U.S. It may seem unfair, but when fear of another nancial crisis strikes money managers, they tend to ee emerging markets and stay closer to home. This summer, panicked money managers dropped the most risky investments first. That meant bonds from deeply indebted countries like Italy and

Portugal, small companies in the U.S and emerging market stocks got hit the hardest. Even gold, an asset normally considered safe, dropped as traders shifted money into dollars. There was a globalization of fear, says Nathalie Wallace, a senior portfolio manager at Batterymarch Financial Management. The same thing happened when the U.S. nancial crisis hit in 2008. The S&P 500 fell 38.5 percent for the year. But the MSCI Emerging Market index, made up of countries where the banks didnt peddle subprime mortgage bonds, plummeted 47.3 percent. Anytime you see risk and fear coming, you see emerging markets get hit a bit more, Wallace says. It doesnt mean the underlying fundamentals of the economy have changed.

Power-sharing deal reached in Greece

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Greeces embattled prime minister and main opposition leader agreed Sunday to form an interim government to ensure the countrys new European debt deal, capping a week of political turmoil that saw Greece face a catastrophic default that threatened its euro membership and roiled international markets. As part of the deal, Prime Minister George Papandreou agreed to step down halfway through his four-year term. He and conservative opposition head Antonis Samaras are to meet Monday to discuss who will become prime minister and the makeup of the Cabinet. The new unity governments main task will be to pass the European rescue package, reached after marathon negotiations between European leaders barely a week ago a move considered crucial

to shoring up the euro. The interim government will then lead the country into early elections, expected early next year. Ofcials had been anxious to reach some form of agreement before a meeting of eurozone nance ministers in Brussels on Monday. Of course its a breakthrough, government spokesman Elias Mossialos said. It is a historical day for Greece, we will have a coalition government very soon, early next week. The prime minister and the leader of the opposition will discuss tomorrow the name of the new prime minister and the names of ministers. Papandreou sparked the latest crisis by announcing last week that he was taking the hard-fought debt agreement to a referendum. That outraged European leaders, who said such a vote could raise the specter of Athens leaving the common currency setting off an unpredictable

chain reaction that could drag down other European countries. They also warned a vote would jeopardize the disbursement of a vital $11 billion ((euro) 8 billion) installment of Greeces existing $152 billion ((euro) 110 billion) bailout, which the country desperately needs to avoid the potential of a catastrophic default within weeks. In the ensuing market turmoil, Italy which also faces severe nancial difculties, but is considered too big to bail out saw its borrowing costs spiral, sparking fears it could be dragged into the fray. Papandreou withdrew the referendum plan Thursday in the wake of European anger and after it sparked a rebellion among his own Socialist lawmakers, many of whom called for him to resign. The turmoil also pushed the conservative opposition party to publicly declare it would back the debt agreement.

Is student loan, education bubble next?

By Justin Pope
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

First the dot.coms popped, then mortgages. Are student loans and higher education the next bubble, the latest investment craze inating on borrowed money and misplaced faith it can never go bad? Some experts have raised the possibility. Last summer, Moodys Analytics pronounced fears of an education spending bubble not without merit. Last spring, investor and PayPal founder Peter Thiel called attention to his claims of an education bubble by awarding two dozen young entrepreneurs $100,000 each NOT to attend college. Recent weeks have seen another spate of bubble headlines student loan defaults up, tuition rising another 8.3 percent this year and finally, out

Thursday, a new report estimating that average student debt for borrowers from the college class of 2010 has passed $25,000. And all that on top of a multiyear slump in the job-market for new college graduates. So do those who warn of a bubble have a case? The hard part, of course, is that a bubble is never apparent until it bursts. But the short answer is this: There are worrisome trends. A degree is an asset whose value can change over time. Borrowing to pay for it is risky, and borrowing is way up. The stakes are high. You can usually walk away from a house. Not so a student loan, which cant even be discharged in bankruptcy. But there are also important differences between a potential student loan bubble and an education bubble.

Furthermore, many economists think the whole concept of a bubble is a misleading way to think about whats happening, and may actually distract from the real problems. College affordability is a serious issue, but its a different one. Borrowing for college and borrowing for, say, a house, are fundamentally different in important ways. To be sure, there are some classic bubble warning signs: Everybody wants in. The idea that higher education is the only way to get ahead has become widely held. College enrollment has surged one-third in a decade. With rising demand, college tuition and fees have more than doubled over that time, outstripping ination in every other major sector of the economy energy, health care and housing, even when housing was bubbling itself.

John Randolph Hearst Jr. dies in NYC at 77

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK John Randolph Hearst Jr., a grandson of media titan William Randolph Hearst and heir to the family fortune, has died, the company said Saturday. He was 77. Hearst died Friday in New York City, the Hearst Corp. said in a statement on its website. The cause of death was not disclosed. John R. Bunky Hearst spent most of his career at the company his grandfather founded. Besides serving on the board, he was a trustee of The Hearst Family Trust and a director of the Hearst Foundations. John was always very devoted to the

company founded by his grandfather, said Frank A. Bennack Jr., CEO of Hearst Corp. Those of us who served with him on the various Hearst Boards remember his great wit and interest in everything the company and Foundations were doing. Bunky will be greatly missed. He also worked for Hearst publications, including as a news photographer for the New York Daily Mirror in the 1950s and as an editor for Motor Boating & Sailing magazine. He suffered a debilitating stroke in 1989, but several months later, he married 50-year-old Barbara Hearst. The marriage lasted until 2004, when Barbara Hearst led for divorce, accus-

ing him of constructive abandonment and cruel and inhumane treatment. In 2007, in the midst of legal proceedings, Barbara Hearst asked a state Supreme Court judge to increase her monthly support from $26,000 to $90,000. But the judge instead reduced it to $20,000, suggesting Bunky Hearsts wife had looted his estate by going on a spending spree with her husbands money and investment accounts. The judge also recounted how, according to court papers, Hearsts wife entered his bedroom with two process servers and told him, We can do it ugly, or we can do it nice. ... Remember one thing, Im much smarter than you are.

Broncos run past Raiders

By Josh Dubow

LANDOVER, Md. After his fth straight 100-yard game, a San Francisco 49ers franchise record, Frank Gore donned a dark green military-style jacket, green cargo pants and designer jewel-encrusted dog tags. They were a pretty tough defense, so I told myself Im going to wear this because I felt I was going to come out hunting on Sunday, Gore said. Its my hunting outt. Gore had 107 yards on 19 yards in San Franciscos 19-11 win Sunday over the Washington Redskins. The 49ers sixth straight win leaves intact their commanding lead in the NFC West. It was a tough 100. It was a consummate team 100, coach Jim Harbaugh said. Not running out of bounds, getting every yard he could get. Alex Smith found rookie fullback Bruce Miller for the seventh-round draft picks rst career touchdown, and David Akers kicked four eld goals for the 49ers (7-1). San Franciscos points-stingy defense forced three turnovers and didnt allow a touchdown until the nal minutes. The 49ers have their longest winning streak since 1997 and are 4-0 on the road for the rst time since 1992 with all four coming on those 1 p.m. Eastern time zone kickoffs which are supposed to drag down West Coast teams.

New book claims steroid use was common in NHL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTREAL Retired NHL enforcer Georges Laraque says in a new book that steroid use was commonplace for years in hockey dressing rooms. And it wasnt limited to just the leagues bruisers, Laraque wrote in The Story of the NHLs Unlikeliest Tough Guy. I have to say here that tough guys werent the only players using steroids in the NHL,

Laraque wrote. It was true that quite a lot of them did use this drug, but other, more talented players did too. Most of us knew who they were, but not a single player, not even me, would ever think of raising his hand to break the silence and accuse a fellow player. The NHL and the NHL Players Association havent responded to Laraques claims. Testing for performance enhancing substances was included in the collective bar-

gaining agreement between the league and the union in 2005. Laraque played in 695 NHL games over 12 seasons with Edmonton, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Montreal. He had 53 goals, 100 assists and 1,126 penalty minutes. Now a deputy leader of the federal Green Party, Laraque doesnt accuse any players by name in the book. He said enforcers also used steroids to gain weight before arriving in the pros, and took substances such as Ephedrine so they would be

desensitized before a ght. Before a game, as I would warm up on the ice, I would always look at the tough guy on the other side, he wrote. If his arms were trembling, if his eyes were bulging, I knew for sure he wasnt going to feel any of the punches I would give him. Laraque also took a shot at Wayne Gretzky in the book, calling the former Phoenix Coyotes coach, The worst coach Ive ever played for.

OAKLAND If the Denver Broncos can keep running the ball like this, they wont need to rely much on Tim Tebows arm to win games. Eddie Royal returned a punt 85 yards for the tiebreaking score, Willis McGahee ran for 163 yards and Tebow threw two touchdown passes to lead the Denver Broncos to a 38-24 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. McGahee had a 60-yard touchdown run that tied the game on the rst play after Carson Palmer threw his second interception for the Raiders (4-4) and then added a 24yarder to ice it in the closing minutes. The Broncos (3-5) didnt allow the Raiders offense to generate anything in the fourth quarter and won for the second time in three games with Tebow as the starter. Tebow did much of his damage with his legs, rushing for a careerhigh 117 yards on 12 carries on many of the same type of option keepers that made him so successful in college. But he did enough damage with his arm to keep the Raiders honest, throwing touchdowns to Eric Decker and Royal. Tebow nished 10 for 21 for 124 yards, but didnt need to do much on a day Denver ran for 298 yards its highest total since a 300-yard game against Seattle in 2000 and the Broncos most ever against the Raiders. Palmer looked much better in his rst start with the Raiders than in his debut two weeks ago in a relief effort against Kansas City when he threw three second-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown in a 28-0 loss ve days after he joined the team. With a bye week and this past week to get acclimated to his new team, Palmer showed why Oakland dealt a 2012 rst-round draft pick and a conditional 2013 secondrounder to Cincinnati to acquire Palmer after starter Jason Campbell broke his collarbone. Palmer was 18 for 34 for 312 yards with three touchdowns. But he threw three more interceptions, including one that provided a sudden change of momentum in the

Jarvis Moss bit on a fake. Then Tebow hit Decker on a 27-yard touchdown pass to make it 7-3. Tebow missed his share of open receivers but didnt miss Decker, who badly beat Michael Huff on a post route. The Raiders capitalized on a botched punt to regain the lead. Britton Colquitt couldnt handle the low snap from Lonie Paxton and threw the ball away to avoid a sack in the end zone. That gave the Raiders a rst down at the Denver 14 and Palmer found Michael Bush on an 11-yard score for his rst TD with the Raiders. Palmer bounced back from an interception later in the second quarter with his best pass as a Raider, threading a 40-yard touchdown pass to fullback Marcel Reece, who was tightly covered by linebacker D.J. Williams. There was an ugly nish to the rst half. Oaklands Taiwan Jones committed penalties on back-to-back eld goal tries. Matt Prater missed the rst from 53 yards when Jones was offside, and then made a 48-yarder before Jones was called for roughing the kicker.

about this owners way or no way. Its not about the star players on our team trying to get their way. The fourth straight loss by Rogers former team was another episode in offensive futility. After being shut out by Buffalo the previous week, Washington (3-5) got its only points on Graham Ganos franchise-record 59-yard eld goal on the last play of the rst half and a touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 1:10 remaining. Right now, you take a look at the offense, its tough to take, coach Mike Shanahan said. Tough to take for me. Shanahan tried to shake things up by giving debut starts to three rookies running back Roy Helu, receiver Leonard Hankerson and left guard Maurice Hurt and he made numerous references to the injuries that have forced constant shufing of the lineup. John Beck now 0-7 as an NFL starter will remain the quarterback despite another game in which he regularly failed to spot open receivers.

The Broncos then took the lead in the fourth quarter after Oakland punted on fourth-and-inches from its 29. Royal caught Shane Lechlers punt at the 15 and ran untouched to the end zone to give the Broncos a 31-24 lead with 5:53 remaining. Tebow did little in the rst half besides two big plays on one drive. First he ran 32 yards on an option keeper when former teammate

military getup for the game was coincidence, but the players said the outing was another example of team bonding for a franchise trying to end an eight-year stretch without a playoff berth. Its a chemistry especially felt by exRedskins cornerback Carlos Rogers, who watched several fast starts ame out during his six seasons in Washington and has some bragging rights after his victorious return to the nations capital. Different team, different organization, said Rogers, part of a defensive effort that allowed only 187 yards through the rst three quarters. Its different from the top down. Thats all I can tell by.

Stewart wins at Texas,only 3 points from Edwards

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas Another round to Tony Stewart, and quite a ght for the Cup title with two races left. Stewart raced to his second consecutive victory, and won for the fourth time in eight NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup races, nishing just ahead of points leader Carl Edwards in the so-called Texas Title Fight that fully lived up to its billing Sunday. And Stewart backed up his challenge. After winning last week at Martinsville, Stewart got out of his car in Victory Lane and said Edwards better be worried. Thats all Im saying. Now it appears to be a two-driver ght for the championship with two races left after they nished 1-2 at the

1 1/2-mile, high-banked Texas track. Stewart cut his points decit from eight points to three and banners declaring a Texas Title Fight matching Cousin Carl vs. Smoke. Another banner hung near Victory lane featuring boxing promoter Don King and TMS president Eddie Gossage. When Edwards and Stewart were announced at the end of driver introductions, when Chase contenders were presented in order of the standings, there was also the sound of a ringside bell. They were in close vicinity of each other all day after starting nose-to-tail. Stewart qualied fth and Edwards seventh. After 85 laps, before the second round of green-ag pit stops before any cautions, Matt Kenseth was leading with Edwards and Stewart running 2-3, though there was a 4-

second gap between them. After 200 laps, when Stewart was leading and Edwards was running sixth the farthest they were seperated all day they were even in points. Stewart didnt have a win this season before opening the 10-race Chase with victories at Chicagoland and New Hampshire. Now hes won two more. Edwards only win this season came eight months ago at Las Vegas, where Stewart was the runner-up. But Edwards has 17 top-ve nishes, and his lowest in the chase was 11th at Talladega. Kasey Kahne finished third at Texas, followed by Matt Kenseth and polesitter Greg Bife. Kevin Harvick remained third in the standings, but dropped from 21 to 33 points behind Edwards after nishing 13th.

Mutai,Dado win at NYC Marathon

By Rachel Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Geoffrey Mutai likes his chances in any championship-style marathon. The Kenyan has turned in two eye-popping performances in seven months in races without pace-setters after he shattered the course record in the New York City Marathon on Sunday. He gures to be the favorite next summer in the London Games if he can make the Olympic team in a country so deep in the sport. Mutais performance was no surprise after he ran the fastest marathon ever earlier this year. Firehiwot Dado wasnt a favorite coming into the womens race and victory seemed impossible with even a few miles left. But the Ethiopian made a stunning comeback for her rst major marathon title. Mutai nished in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 6 seconds, crushing the previous mark of 2:07:43 set by Tesfaye Jifar of Ethiopia a decade earlier. In April, Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history: 2:03:02 in Boston. It didnt count as a world record because the course is considered too straight and too downhill. I am happy now because even although it was not recognized, Im happy to be at that level, Mutai said. And I know one day, maybe I can come to do something. The

course here it was tough. But the weather was so good. I think Ill try to maintain myself to prove it right. With little wind on a cool, sunny day, the conditions were perfect for fast times. The second- and thirdplace nishers also broke the old course record. Fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai (no relation), the London Marathon champ and course-record holder, ran a 2:06:28. Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia was third in 2:07:14. Defending champ Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia was fourth. Dado trailed London Marathon champ Mary Keitany by nearly 2 1/2 minutes at the 15-mile mark but passed her with about a mile left. The 27-year-old Dado won in 2:23:15 almost a minute better than her previous personal best. Because shed been running so fast from the very beginning, I didnt imagine that wed catch her, Dado said through a translator. But when we did get closer and we saw her, I was very surprised and I was very happy. Fellow Ethiopian Buzunesh Deba, who lives in the Bronx and enjoyed vocal support, was second for her rst podium nish at a major marathon, 4 seconds back. It was the second-closest womens nish in the races history. Im so happy when theyre cheering me, Deba said. I know

passed her too. Maybe if I come next year and my body will react OK, maybe no problem, Keitany said. I would run the same. I would not change. The Mutais still dont know whether theyll make the Olympic team or what the selection criteria will be. They may be competing with other Kenyan stars for just one of the countrys three spots. Abel Kirui is the two-time defending world champion, and Patrick Makau ofcially broke the world record in Berlin in September with a 2:03:38 on a at course with pace-setters. Maybe all of you can see the difference about the races which people are breaking one record, Geoffrey Mutai said. I dont think if those people can come here and run here, if they can break the world record here. The 30-year-old Mutai earned $200,000 for winning and setting the course record. Hes the rst runner to win Boston and New York in REUTERS the same year since Rodgers Rop in Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya holds the winners trophy as he celebrates after 2002. winning the 2011 New York City Marathon in New York Sunday. Dado took home $170,000. Emmanuel Mutai won a $500,000 the course I train it two times a legs. week in Central Park. The Ethiopians made up 32 sec- bonus as the World Marathon Keitany was third, 23 seconds onds on Keitany between the 23- Majors champ. A record 47,438 runners started back. The Kenyan pulled away right and 24-mile marks. When they from the start and was well under caught her, she glanced over at them the race through the ve boroughs. course-record pace for much of the and briey burst back ahead. But This years event was dedicated to race. But she faded badly over the after Dado made her move, Keitany Grete Waitz, the nine-time champinal miles, feeling fatigue in her couldnt keep up, and Deba soon on who died in April of cancer.

Miami gets first win; Colts do not

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ran twice for 33 yards.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Miami Dolphins are no longer winless. Matt Moore threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns, Reggie Bush had 92 yards rushing and another score and the Dolphins walloped the Kansas City Chiefs 31-3 on Sunday. Moore, who took over after Chad Henne had season-ending shoulder surgery, became the rst Dolphins quarterback since Chad Pennington in 2008 to throw three TD passes. Two of them went to tight end Anthony Fasano and another to Brandon Marshall, who finished with eight catches for 106 yards. The win by the Dolphins (1-7) leaves the Indianapolis Colts (0-9) as the NFLs only winless team. Matt Cassel was 20 of 39 for 253 yards for Kansas City (4-4), which came into the game with a fourgame winning streak.

Packers 45, Chargers 38

SAN DIEGO Aaron Rodgers threw touchdown passes to four receivers, Green Bay returned two Philip Rivers interceptions for scores and the Packers withstood a wild nish to remain the NFLs only undefeated team. The Packers improved to 8-0 behind Rodgers, who completed 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards. He has an NFL-high 24 TD passes. The Packers led by 21 points early in the fourth before Rivers threw two TD passes to Vincent Jackson in the span of 1:07 midway through the quarter. San Diego had a nal chance to tie it, but Charlie Peprah intercepted Rivers in the closing seconds and returned it 76 yards to seal the victory. Rivers tied his career high with four TD passes but was picked off three times. The Chargers are 4-4.

Sanchezs 8-yard pass to Holmes with 3:27 left in the third quarter helped blow open the game as the Jets (5-3) won their third straight and rst on the road to move into a tie with the Bills (5-3).

PITTSBURGH Joe Flacco hit Torrey Smith for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 8 seconds to go, lifting the Baltimore Ravens past the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20 on Sunday night. Five plays after letting a sure touchdown toss tip off his hands, Smith capped Baltimores gamewinning 92-yard drive by beating William Gay down the right sideline as the Ravens (6-2) snapped Pittsburghs four-game winning streak.

GLENDALE, Ariz. Rookie Patrick Peterson returned a punt 99 yards for a touchdown in overtime to lift Arizona. Peterson, whose pass interference penalty moments earlier seemed to set up the Rams (1-7) for a gamewinning eld goal, elded the ball at the 1. He evaded and bounced off tacklers over the next 30 yards or so, then outran everyone, striding the last few yards in celebration of his third punt return TD of the season as Arizona (2-6) snapped a sixgame losing streak. Arizonas Calais Campbell blocked Josh Browns 42-yard eld goal attempt as regulation ended to force the overtime.

ARLINGTON, Texas Tony Romo shook off an inefcient rst half to throw for a pair of touchdowns. Romo had no trouble moving the ball from the start, but the Cowboys (4-4) settled for eld goals on consecutive drives that stalled at the 2yard line and inside the 1. On the next series, Dez Bryant was inside the 1 when a hit he never saw coming caused him to fumble the ball away.

The Falcons (5-3) won their third straight and earned their rst road victory in a series that dates to 1966. The Colts have lost ve straight home games for the rst time since 2001, and this defeat was every bit as lopsided as the score.

This time, it looked like the Patriots would win with a comeback of their own when Tom Brady threw a 14-yard scoring pass to Rob Gronkowski, making it 20-17 with 1:36 to go.

Dynamo reach MLS Cup final

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Kan. The first time Houston came into Livestrong Sporting Park, the Dynamo went home on the short end of a 3-0 rout. They havent lost since that Sept. 10 defeat and this time, they left with the faint scent of champagne still clinging to their scraggly playoff beards. Three months ago, a lot of people just kind of have I wouldnt say cast us aside, but didnt take us seriously, coach Dominic Kinnear said after Houston reached the MLS Cup final by beating Sporting Kansas City 2-0 on Sunday in the Eastern Conference title game. This is denitely a big statement to everyone who did that, that things can happen when things go well for you.

The win also puts the Dynamo in the CONCACAF Champions League for the 2012-13 season. Houston last qualied for the competition in 2009-10. Sporting, which won over legions of new fans by rebounding from an 0-6-1 start to nish atop the East in the regular season, has not made the title game since nishing as the runner-up in 2004. Sundays loss came in front of a standing-room-only crowd of almost 21,000, the biggest

to pack into the teams new stadium. Were disappointed because we did realize that it could have been something special with the crowd, with us being at home and only having a one-game series, defender Matt Besler said. So thats the unfortunate part about it. Andre Hainault and Carlo Costly scored second-half goals for Houston, which extended its unbeaten streak to nine but now heads into the Nov. 20 title game, its rst since the back-to-back championship seasons of 2006 and 2007, with questions about whether its star playmaker will be able to play. Midelder Brad Davis, who led MLS with 16 assists this season, went down with an injured right quadriceps while challenging Graham Zusi for a ball in the 37th minute. The prognosis is most likely not,

right now, Davis said of his chances at playing in the final against either Real Salt Lake or the Los Angeles Galaxy. They think I have a torn quad. Its just a freak thing; I was trying to turn and make a play on the ball. They didnt hit me. They didnt kick me. His emergency replacement, little-used Jamaican defender Jermaine Taylor, helped set up Hainaults 53rd-minute goal for a 10 lead. Kansas City keeper Jimmy Nielsen was able to get a glove on Taylors header off Adam Moffats free kick, but Hainault was there to tap the rebound into an open goal. Give a lot of credit to Jermaine Taylor, said Hainault, who has two goals in the postseason. He did well to get to that back post and get it across. I knew set pieces were going to be huge tonight, and they

were. Costlys goal came in the 87th minute, with Sporting pushed forward in search of an equalizer. He took a long pass from Luiz Camargo, beat defender Aurelien Collin into open space, and slotted the ball past Nielsen from the top of the penalty area. Sporting, meanwhile, struggled throughout the game to connect its passes and nd an offensive rhythm against Houstons packed-in defense. They rarely left themselves exposed for the counter, Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said. They rarely let themselves get too stretched out. I think if we had been a little more disciplined in our play, we would have had more space to play in behind them. They did a very good job of playing halfcourt soccer.

Beckham,Keane lead LA Galaxy to MLS Cup final

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARSON, Calif. Mike Magee scored the go-ahead goal on a pass from David Beckham in the 58th minute, and Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane also scored as the Los Angeles Galaxy advanced to the MLS Cup with a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Sunday night in the Western Conference nal. With spectacular plays from their trio of superstars, Los Angeles

advanced to face the Houston Dynamo in the MLS title game Nov. 20 at Home Depot Center, where the Supporters Shield-winning Galaxy havent lost all year. Beckham will play for his rst MLS title in the nal game of his groundbreaking ve-year contract with the Galaxy. His sublime crossing pass set up Magees third goal of the postseason for Los Angeles, which advanced to its record seventh MLS title game. Alvaro Saborio scored for Salt

Lake, which beat Los Angeles in the 2009 MLS Cup. Beckham left Thursdays playoff victory over New York with back spasms, but played well to extend his MLS tenure for at least two weeks. Beckham is in the midst of his best MLS season with rumors swirling about his future, but he served up yet another phenomenal scoring pass to Magee and several additional chances before leaving to a standing ovation from the crowd of 23,437 in stoppage time.

Donovan scored his MLS-best 19th playoff goal on a rst-half penalty kick, and Keane made a stellar run in the 68th minute for the Irish strikers fourth goal in 10 games with his new team. The Galaxy had MLS best regular-season record for the second straight year, but they nally added playoff success after falling short in the postseason in the past two seasons. Los Angeles is 14-0-5 at home in MLS games this season after two playoff wins, along with three

CONCACAF Champions League victories. Both teams took chances and tried for big plays from the opening minute, showing no caution while playing for such high stakes. Donovan scored on a penalty chance for the second straight playoff game, connecting in the 23rd minute after Omar Gonzalez drew a penalty in the box from Andy Williams, who apparently made contact with Gonzalezs back on a header.

JoePa: Shocked by sex abuse charges

By Genaro C. Armas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State coach Joe Paterno said he was shocked, saddened and as surprised as everyone else to learn longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing young boys over a 15-year period, including four years when Sandusky still was a member of the Nittany Lions staff. If this is true we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals trained in such things, and we grieve for the victims and their families. They are in our prayers, Paterno in a statement issued Sunday evening by his son, Scott. Paterno, a Hall of Famer and

the winningest coach in Division I history, is not implicated in the case. Joe Paterno was a witness who cooperated and testied before the grand jury, said Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state attorney generals ofce. Hes not a suspect. Paterno referred to his grand jury testimony in which he testied that he was informed by an assistant coach in 2002 that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of the team locker room. Prosecutors have said Paterno had passed on the information to athletic director Tim Curley. But Paterno said specific actions alleged to have occurred in the grand jury report were not relayed to

him. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the grand jury report, Paterno said in the statement. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators. In a phone interview, Scott Paterno, serving as his fathers spokesman, said the rst and only incident reported about Sandusky to Paterno was in 2002. Scott Paterno, a former lawyer, is a Harrisburg-based political operative. Sandusky retired from his assistants job in 1999. He is charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15

years. Overseeing the linebackers, Sandusky coached such prominent players including Jack Ham, Shane Conlan and Matt Millen. Sandusky coached the defense in Penn States 1982 and 1986 national title seasons, and was at one point considered a likely successor to Paterno. The grand jury report released Saturday said one victim, identied as Victim 4, recalled a meeting with an emotional Sandusky after Paterno had told Sandusky about May 1999 that his assistant would not be the next coach at Penn State. According to Scott Paterno, his father made the decision because he felt Sandusky was spending too much time at The Second Mile, a foundation Sandusky established to help at-risk kids, where authorities say he encountered the boys.

Sandusky then made the decision to take early retirement, Scott Paterno said. Scott Paterno said his father told Sandusky he had to dedicate himself to either the foundation or coaching. Joe had said You cant do both, you cant have two masters, Scott Paterno recalled. Curley and Gary Schultz, the universitys senior vice president for nance and business, were charged Saturday with failing to report to state and county ofcials that a witness told them he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a naked boy in the locker room showers in 2002. Two people familiar with the investigation conrmed the identity of the witness as then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, now the teams wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.

Penn State officials lawyer shapes defense

By Mark Scolforo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISBURG, Pa. The Pennsylvania law requiring some school ofcials and others to report suspected child abuse does not apply to a Penn State administrator whos accused of keeping quiet about allegations that a former football coach molested a boy in a shower, the administrators attorney said Sunday. The comments by Pittsburgh lawyer Thomas J. Farrell offer a preview of the defense he plans to

use on the charge of failing to report faced by his client, Gary C. Schultz, the universitys senior vice president for finance and business. Farrell said he will seek to have the charge dismissed. The charge is part of a broader case centered on retired Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. Schultz, 62, and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, 57, were both charged Saturday with failing to report to state and county ofcials that a witness told them he saw

Sandusky sexually abusing a naked boy in the showers of a team practice facility in 2002. Schultz and Curley were both also charged with perjury. Lawyers for all three men say they are innocent. Farrell told the Associated Press on Sunday that the mandated reporting rules only apply to people who come into direct contact with children. He also said the statute of limitations for the summary offense with which Schultz is charged is two years, so it expired in 2004. The explosive charges are surpris-

ing both for what they detail and their contrast to the image of Penn States football program. Under the leadership of Joe Paterno, whos won more games than any coach in Division I history, the Nittany Lions have become a bedrock in the college game. For more than four decades, Paternos teams have been revered both for winning, including two national championships, and largely steering clear of trouble. Paterno is not implicated in the case. Joe Paterno was a witness who cooperated and testied before the

grand jury, said Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state attorney generals ofce. Hes not a suspect. Frederiksen called questions about whether Paterno might testify premature and speculation. Thats putting the cart way ahead of the horse, he said. Were certainly not going to be discussing the lineup of potential witnesses. In a statement on Sunday, Paterno said that, if true, the nature and number of charges made are very shocking to me and all Penn Staters.

Puss in Bootslands on top

By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

m sure you were sickened by the news from last week: an older cat was drowned in a Redwood Shores lagoon by having a ve-pound weight fastened around his neck with heavy duty plastic zip ties, then dumped into approximately two feet of water. The cat was declawed, so we know he was someones pet. The wear on his teeth told our lead veterinarian he was around 12 years old. Everyone reading this can help in one way or another. Our primary concerns are nding the person or persons responsible and nding the cats owner. I dont like thinking about the latter concern, but at the very least, we can give someone closure and might learn something that will help us nd the sadistic person who did this. The cat was male, mostly black with a white chest/belly and white paws. He had no collar/tags or a microchip form of ID. The exact location where he was found was between 1 Lagoon Drive and 3 Lagoon Drive in Redwood Shores, a spot right next to Oracle and accessible by a public path. If you have any information that might be helpful (even a neighbors address where a cat matching this description has been missing a few days), please call 650/340-7022, ext. 384. If you would like to help support our anti-cruelty work or add to the reward fund, please call 650/340-7022, ext. 327. I know stories like this move people in many different ways. If you have been thinking about taking an older stray cat into your home for some time, please know we have a few wonderful seniors at our Lantos Center in Burlingame. Or, if you already have that special companion and he or she doesnt have a microchip, please know you can get one at our Lantos Center any Monday for just $20, no appointment necessary.

LOS ANGELES Puss in Boots pounced on Tower Heist and Harold & Kumar at the box office. The DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, earned $33 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The PG-rated film centering on the swashbuckling feline voiced by Antonio Banderas from the Shrek series surprisingly toppled the weekends two new releases, bringing its total haul to $75 million. Universals PG-13 revenge romp Tower Heist starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy palmed $25.1 million in the No. 2 spot, while the Warner Bros. R-rated sequel A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas with John Cho and Kal Penn unwrapped $13 million at No. 3. Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com, said family films are tough to beat out. From the re-release earlier this fall of The Lion King to Dolphin Tale and now Puss in Boots, it seems that the family audience is the one you can really count on right now, said Dergarabedian. I think the cavalry is definitely on the way though. Weve got Immortals and another Twilight coming up, as well as a bunch of big releases in December. Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing and consumer products at DreamWorks, said the decision to move up the opening of Puss in Boots to last weekend is one reason why the film experienced just a 3-percent drop, the smallest ever for a non-holiday film, ahead of the 10-percent dip for Twister during its second weekend of release in 1996. To be No. 1 again is really extraordinary, said Globe. Its really an unparalleled hold driven by our two-weekend release strategy, which was pretty unprecedented in and of itself. That and the amazing word of mouth has given us tremendous momentum into November, which is a better play period for an event-level movie like Puss in Boots.

Puss in Bootsmade $33 million at the box ofce over the weekend.

Top ten movies

1.Puss in Boots,$33 million. ($15 million international.) 2.Tower Heist,$25.1 million. ($9.5 million international.) 3.A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, $13 million. 4. Paranormal Activity 3, $8.5 million. ($14.1 million international.) 5.In Time,$7.7 million. ($16.6 million international.) 6.Footloose,$4.5 million. 7.Real Steel,$3.4 million. ($10.7 million international.) 8.The Rum Diary,$2.9 million. 9.The Ides of March,$2 million. 10.Moneyball,$1.9 million.

Another animated film dominated outside of North America. The Adventures of Tintin, which is being distributed overseas by Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures, scooped up $40.8 million as it grew from 19 to 45 international markets. The 3-D film, directed by Steven Spielberg and adapted from the Belgian comic series, opens Dec. 21 in the United States. The 20th Century Fox sci-fi thriller In Time starring Justin Timberlake fell to No. 5 in U.S. after opening at No. 3 last weekend. In Time clocked better numbers overseas, earning $16.6 million in 53 markets for a second-place finish behind The Adventures of Tintin, while Puss in Boots scratched out third place with $15 million in five international markets.

Statesgrandparent visitation laws raise concern

By Stephanie Reitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. Increasingly, a wrenching dispute is playing out in courts nationwide: balancing parents constitutional rights to raise their children without interference against grandparents desire to be involved in those youngsters lives. Now, a growing number of grandparents are pushing lawmakers around the country to change state standards they say are too restrictive and ignore the unique bonds many grandparents have with their grandchildren. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide this winter whether it will revisit the issue, which it addressed 11 years ago in a landmark case out of Washington state that makes competent parents wishes the guiding principle in most disputes. Although all state laws must meet that constitutional threshold, their efforts have resulted in a patchwork of state court rulings and legislation. They now impose such a variety of conditions that the parties home states can affect the cases almost as much as the specics. Connecticut has become a battleground state in the issue for two reasons: its protections for parents are among the nations strictest and many of its grandparents are very vocal in their push to change it.

June, Alabamas state Supreme Court struck down its law as unconstitutional because it included grandparent visitation rights over competent parents objections. Attorneys in the case have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue, backed by ofcials in Ohio, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan and Washington. Connecticut, Florida and Arizona are considered among the most parent-friendly based on their laws or court precedents. Others are considered more grandparent-friendly, including Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Unfriendly states
For parents and grandparents facing challenges in unfriendly states, the stress of family disagreements can be magnied by expensive court proceedings. LoriAnn Levanto, 43, a social worker from Norwich, Conn., lost her effort to get court-ordered visitation with her grandson after her adult son decided not to be involved in the boys life and the boys mother remarried and moved away. Her grandson is now 4 years old and, in the two years since she has seen him, Levanto has maintained a journal she hopes he will want when he is 18. Whats difcult is that many of us grandparents arent asking for custody, just visitation, she said. I think the court systems are afraid to open that door, even a little bit, toward grandparents. The possibility of that door being opened too far alarms many parents, though, particularly those who say they want to shield their own young children from

Task force
A task force will advise the General Assembly this winter on whether to change state law to give grandparents more chance to get into court to argue their cases. Right now its the luck of the draw if youre some poor family stuck in a state that doesnt stand behind that grandparent-grandchild bond and attachment, said Susan Hoffman, 59. She founded Advocates for Grandparent Grandchild Connection after losing her California petition for visitation when her adult son signed away parenting rights to her grandson. The growing movement among grandparents groups has alarmed many parents and their advocacy groups nationwide, including organizers and participants on the parentsrights.com website. Many say they are being pilloried by those who wrongly accept stereotypes that all grandparents are loving and supportive. And they say theyre being drained nancially to defend parenting rights the Supreme Court has already upheld. Polly Tavernia, 41, said her New York case cost her family almost $10,000 even though her estranged mothers petition was eventually dismissed. It was one of the worst things Ive ever been through, she said. Its honestly just horrible to have to worry about someone else making those decisions for you, especially when they dont know the whole story. All 50 states have laws governing the conditions for nonparent third parties seeking visitation, but it was only in 2000 that the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling said none of those laws can infringe on the rights of competent parents. That includes determining who can spend time with their children, with courts stepping in to order non-parent visitation only under tight circumstances deemed in the childs best interest. Thats where state laws and court rulings have evolved to include conditions that vary widely from one state to the next. The circumstances also vary, from intact two-parent families being sued by grandparents to situations stemming from thorny divorces and remarriages, disputes with one parent after another dies, and other cases.

grandparents who have broken boundaries and trust. Erin Bay, 33, and her husband drive about 90 minutes from their Missouri home to Kansas, where they previously lived, for proceedings in a case involving her parents request for court-ordered visitation with the Bays ve children. If shed moved before the case was led, Missouris standards are so different that it likely would have been dismissed by now but Kansas allows far more latitude for grandparents than Missouri. Bay said she and her husband denied unsupervised visits because of several serious concerns, especially not wanting their children being around a family member she says sexually abused her. There are very real assumptions on the part of society about parents who are involved in this kind of litigation. It feels like our tness has already been decided by the public because weve been sued by our parents or in-laws, and thats really disheartening, Bay said. One thing that all sides agree on: The court process is wrenching. Karen Wyle, an attorney in Bloomington, Ind., who works with parents in such cases, said the grandchildren are the ultimate victims. Theyre in an emotional crossre, she said. The courthouse doors should have written on them, Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Litigation is not going to heal these families quite the reverse.

Sue for visitation

In some states, grandparents can sue for visitation only if they have been completely cut off by custodial parents. In others, they must show their relationship with the grandchild was similar to that of a parent. In yet others, they must prove with clear and convincing evidence that the child will suffer irreversible harm without the visits. And while some states have a combination of those standards, others have very few and give grandparents far more latitude to present their cases. That can include deposing their adult children, seeking the parents medical and nancial records and other time-consuming actions. And some state courts have ruled that even if the grandparents lose, the parents cant get their legal bills reimbursed. Connecticut is not the only state struggling with the issue. In

Sect bomb attacks possible in Nigeria

By Jon Gambrell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAGOS, Nigeria After a weekend of violence and fear, U.S. ofcials warned Sunday that luxury hotels frequented by foreigners and Nigerias elite may be bombed by a radical Muslim sect as the death toll from attacks in the countrys northeast rose to more than 100. The warning by the U.S. Embassy shows how seriously diplomats take the threat posed by the outlawed Islamist group known locally as Boko Haram, which previously bombed the United Nations headquarters in the capital, Abuja, killing 24. The unusually specic warning from the U.S. Embassy identied possible targets in Abuja as the Hilton, Nicon Luxury and Sheraton hotels. With popular restaurants and bars, the hotels draw diplomats, politicians and even reformed oil delta militants. The embassy said an attack may come as Muslims in the oil-rich nation celebrate the Eid al-Adha holi-

day and that its diplomats and staff had been instructed to avoid those hotels. Still, Nigerian ofcials continued to downplay the threat posed by the militants, hoping to reassure Africas most populous nation that everything remains under control in a country often violently divided by religious and ethnic differences. Were all expected to live in peace, but as a nation, we have our own chal-

lenges, President Goodluck Jonathan said in a speech televised nationally. During this holy period, we still have incidents happening here and there, added Jonathan, a Christian, who appeared wearing a prayer cap and the traditional robes of the countrys Muslim north. U.S. officials offered no other details about how the embassy received the threat information. Deb MacLean, a U.S. Embassy spokeswoman in Abuja, declined to comment Sunday. It wouldnt be the rst time Abuja saw itself targeted by Boko Haram, which has waged an increasingly bloody sectarian fight against Nigerias weak central government. A suicide bomber claimed by the group attacked the U.N. headquarters in August, while another bomber targeted the federal police headquarters in June. Still, most attacks have targeted Nigerias arid and impoverished northeast, so any strike against hotels in Abuja would be an escalation that shows the groups ability to

strike at will even against foreigners and its elite. The warning came as a Nigerian Red Cross ofcial said more than 100 people were killed in a series of attacks Friday in the northeast. Ibrahim Bulama said he expected the death toll to rise in Damaturu, the capital of rural Yobe state. He said mourners quickly buried some bodies in line with Muslim tradition, making a precise count difcult. While the hard-hit city remained calm as its Muslim inhabitants celebrated the religious holiday Sunday, army and police units manned roadblocks and streets remained largely empty, Bulama said. The state government announced a dusk-to-dawn curfew for the entire state. Meanwhile, a police inspector was killed Sunday in Boko Harams spiritual home of Maiduguri about 80 miles east of Damaturu. Sect gunmen stopped the ofcers car at gunpoint as he neared a mosque to pray with his family, police commissioner Simeon Midenda said.

Fireworks smoke linked to UK crash that killed 7

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON Police investigating the cause of a 34-car pile-up on a major British highway that killed seven people and injured 51 said Sunday they are focusing on a fireworks display near the accident site. While initial reports suggested fog and wet road surfaces were

partly to blame for the huge collision, police said they have now zeroed in on the fireworks show after evidence taken from witnesses indicated that black smoke emerging from it may be the main culprit. Rescue workers have described the road accident as one of the deadliest in the country in years. We believe from the witnesses

and from what were being told that it was smoke and not fog, Assistant Chief Constable Anthony Bangham told reporters. The vehicles and people who were entering into the smoke bank have just described it as being impossible to drive through and that, of course, causing them to brake. Friday nights crash on the M5

highway in southwestern England saw dozens of cars and industrial trucks consumed by flames, with intense fireballs that made it difficult for rescue workers to get near the vehicles. The fireworks display in a nearby rugby club was one of many organized over the weekend across Britain to mark Guy Fawkes Day, an annual commem-

oration of the English activist who tried to blow up Parliament in the 17th century. The probe into what caused the accident will be taken up by crime teams and road police, Bangham said. Police have finished removing all vehicles from the highway in Somerset, and the roads have partly reopened.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua Nicaraguans voted Sunday in elections expected to return one-time Sandinista revolutionary Daniel Ortega as president in what critics say could be the prelude to a presidency for life. Since returning to power in 2007, the 65-year-old Ortega has boosted his popularity in Central Americas poorest country with a combination of porkbarrel populism and support for the free-market economy he once opposed. Now, riding on a populist platform and World Bank praise for his economic strategies, he seeks a third term his second consecutive one after the Sandinista majority on the Supreme Court overruled the term limits set by the Nicaraguan constitution. With nearly 50 percent of voter support and an 18-point lead over his nearest challenger in the most recent poll, Ortega could end up with a mandate

that would not only legitimize his reelection but allow him to make constitutional changes guaranteeing perpetual re-election. He leads his closest competitor, Daniel Ortega opposition radio station owner Fabio Gadea of the Liberal Independent Party, by 18 points. Conservative Arnoldo Aleman, a former president and perennial candidate, has 11 percent support in the poll taken between Oct. 10-17 with a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points. Im going to win the presidency, Gadea said as he voted in a school in southern Managua, adding that he had been informed of many voting irregularities. Nicaraguan electoral and police ofcials said voting was taking place nor-

mally on Sunday. But the head of the Organization of American States observer mission, Dante Caputo, said its observers have been denied access to 10 polling stations, which would account for 20 percent of the statistical material they had planned to collect for their analysis. They have prevented our people from being there at the precise moment they should have been there and that is not remediable and will affect our ability to do our jobs, Caputo said. We are left without radar. Claims of widespread fraud in the 2008 municipal elections led Washington to cancel $62 million in development aid. Ortega led the Sandinista movement that overthrew dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979, and withstood a concerted effort by the U.S. government, which viewed him as a Soviet-backed threat, to oust him through a rebel force called the Contras.

Former general leads polls for president in Guatemala

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GUATEMALA CITY Guatemalans chose Sunday between two right-leaning presidential candidates: a former general who promises law and order and a tycoon-turnedpolitical populist whose proposals include more social programs. The two candidates competing in a runoff after garnering the most votes in the rst round Sept. 11 each lobbed accusations during the vote, which seemed to draw a low turnout. Polls showed Otto Perez Molina, 61, a retired general and former military intelligence director running for the right-wing Patriotic Party, at least 10 to 15 points ahead of Manuel Baldizon, 41, of the Democratic Freedom Revival party. But many predicted the results would be much closer.

Perez accused Baldizon in a news conference of offering gifts, including zinc sheeting, in exchange for votes, while Baldizon urged voters not to elect someone with blood on his hands for Perezs involvement the military during the countrys 36-year civil war. Current President Alvaro Colom, who cant run for re-election, urged both sides to respect the results from the electoral tribunal to avoid violence and illegal acts. Colom said 106 people had been detained nationwide on suspicion of violating of various election laws. The voter turnout could be 15 percent lower than in the September election, said Manfredo Marroquin of the nongovernmental organization, Mirador Electoral, or Electoral Observer. The low participation is one of the indicators that worries us because it shows that the people dont support or County, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. Four bodies were found shortly after the re, and a fth body was found by investigators Sunday morning, Marina police Lt. Rick Janicki said. The cause of the re hadnt been determined by Sunday afternoon, but investigators with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene at the request of Marina re ofcials, ATF spokeswoman Donna Sellers said.

feel represented by the political options, he said. Baldizon barely registered in the polls when campaigning began six months ago and has risen dramatically since. The businessman has made many promises that some considered outlandish, including that he would take Guatemalas soccer team to the World Cup. But other promises are appealing in a country with rampant poverty and crime, including giving workers an extra months salary a year, reinstating the death penalty and televising executions. More than half of Guatemalans live in poverty in a nation 14 million overrun by organized crime and Mexican drug cartels.

hotels while still having the lowest rate in the county. If both cities taxes succeed, they will join eight others who have raised it since 2008. Of course, the amount raised is based on the rate charged and the number of rooms booked. LeClair said some hotels admittedly dont care for the tax because they worry it will prove a turnoff to visitors but that individuals travelers often dont look at those numbers the same way a meeting planner will. San Mateo County gets roughly two million visitors annually and that gure could jump dramatically due to the upcoming U.S. Open golf tournament and the Americas Cup yacht race. The visitors bureau cemented some exclusive lodging contracts with organizers for the 2012 U.S. Open, LeClair said. Americas Cup, the international yacht race set for 2013 in San Francisco, is a little harder to get a handle on right now because preparations are still in the works, but LeClair is optimistic San Mateo County will benet. The future of tourism and lodging in general is hard to predict but, she said, my best guess is it will continue to be strong and might just be incredible.

TAX
Continued from page 1
Redwood City is also seeking a hike to the business license tax although hotel tax increases may be an easier sell. A business license tax measure failed two yeas ago. If Redwood City voters pass the proposed TOT hike from 10 percent to 12 percent, the city will receive an estimated $640,000 more annually, according to calculations by Finance Director Brian Ponty and City Manager Bob Bell. In comparison, an increase in the business license tax would add an estimated extra $825,000 annually to city coffers by scal year 2014-2015. Both measures are being supported by the committee Redwood City Residents to Protect City Services which has raised more than $6,000 and whose backers include Councilwomen Alicia Aguirre and Barbara Pierce, both seeking re-election, and Planning Commissioner Nancy Radcliffe. The city last increased its TOT in 2003 from 8 percent to 10 percent, placing it in the middle range of the countys 15 cities which levy such a tax. Foster City hasnt changed its TOT tax since 1981 but stands to generate approximately $250,000 more each year from its two

DPR
Continued from page 1
LEEDs gold level certication, according to DPRs announcement of the project. The center is expected to improve performance for European Facebook users and give the company a greater International presence. Facebook currently stores its data at sites in California, Virginia and Oregon and is building another facility in North Carolina. The centers store and transmit billions of pieces of information including links, photos and outside applications used by Facebook clients. The agreement is actually a joint venture

between two American firms DPR Construction and Fortis Construction in Portland and NCC Construction Sweden. DPR has several U.S. locations, including the ofces in Redwood City which are specically charged with the data center build. A DPR spokeswoman did not return inquiries about the project but Executive Vice President Eric Lamb expressed enthusiasm in an announcement of the deal. As one of the nations leading data center builders, were excited to be a part of the team to deliver Facebooks rst data center outside of the U.S., Lamb said. DPR and Fortis are also building data centers for Facebook in Prineville, Ore., and Forest City, N.C. Councilman Michael Brownrigg, a planning commissioner at the time, and incumbents Ann Keighran and Cathy Baylock were successful. During her last meeting, OMahony noted being sorry to leave the post prior to completing the overpass project. Interestingly, in that same election, the city passed an increase to the hotel tax with revenues going toward that very project. Although no longer on the council, OMahony remains active representing Burlingame on the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency and on the citys storm drain oversight committee. In addition, she continues to teach math at College of San Mateo and spend time helping students in the math lab. She also is sure to attend city events on large projects, like the long-awaited opening of Safeway, which happened to be on her birthday. OMahony joked that was her best birthday gift year. That was, of course, until she was notied of this recognition. The Burlingame City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame.

MAYOR
Continued from page 1
OMahony was rst proposed by members of the community who pointed to her years of community support as the reason. The proposal needed approval from four commissions before a 2011 Community Recognition Award can be recommended to the City Council. Among the letters of recommendation are notes from U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo and multiple Burlingame-based community organizations. OMahony joined the City Council in 1989. She came to Burlingame in 1965, the year she started teaching math at the College of San Mateo. Since her rst election, OMahony served as mayor ve times in 1994, 1997, 2000, 2004 and 2008. The last ve-time mayor, Dave Martin, was one of the individuals who drew OMahony to serve originally. Her 20-year tenure on the council ended in 2009 when she lost her re-election bid, by a 77-vote margin.

GAS

emptied of gas before testing began. The mudslide initially shut down all of northbound Interstate 280.

The right lane remained closed while crews removed the remaining debris from the road, according to the California Highway Patrol. There were no injuries, but one vehicle was damaged by pieces of dirt and rock, Butler said. PG&E did not return a call requesting further information.

HISTORY
Continued from page 3
respectable citizens of the community. Californias young economy was difcult to live in and the judicial system was not adequate for the times. At time, land was sold without proper deeds and hardships occurred due to this. The couple had to prove their right to the Rancho and that cost a great deal of their money for lawyers and court fees. Much of the business was done with a handshake and bills sometimes were forgotten. Greer ran into trouble when he couldnt pay a $394.61 grocery bill and he didnt pay his $250 tax bill. B.G. Lathrop acquired 5,880 acres of Greers property who sold

it to Dr. Tripp for $1,000. In 1863, Greer was able to regain it. He was active in civic affairs and he donated land and money to build the rst school house. In the spirit of community, the Woodside School District changed its name to Greenburg School District. The following week, they corrected their mistake and the name was changed to Greersburg. The store that Greer owned was called Greersburg and a motion was put forward to call the town that had been named Woodside Greers burg. Bitter feelings erupted and the name Woodside was retained. John Greer and his wife moved to the family home in Palo Alto, at El Camino Real and Embarcadero, in their later years. Greer also served as justice of the peace and was said to be active in the temperance union. When Greer died, his

Protestant faith almost prevented him from being buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. Determining that the Catholic cemetery was consecrated to a depth of only 6 feet, it was reported that the family was able to secure his nal resting place by having the grave dug down to 9 feet. Another report said Greer was buried in the Union Cemetery. Pick the ending that best suits you. I like the Colma story better. Fresh off of the press: Thalia Lubin and Bob Dougherty have just completed a book Arcadias Images of America: Woodside and its on sale at the County History Museum in Redwood City.
