South City to study fire merger
Action is response to grand jury report; potential partners not yet identified
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco will join its neighbors
in studying the possibility of merging fire
services — not because it has to but to
strengthen services in the area.
Responding to a San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury report released in May, the South
San Francisco City Council responded with
plans to have a completed study regarding a
potential merger by July 1, 2011.
Mayor Mark Addiego conducting the study
now is the best time since it’s not something
the city necessarily needs.
“We don’t have to [study a merger], but we
should. We have a strong department. We
could partner with other cities, save money
and still offer strong service,” he said.
South City will study possible shared serv-
ices with neighboring cities and Cal Fire. In
doing so, South San Francisco would expect
to keep its own ambulance services — a
unique attribute of the South San Francisco
Fire Department.
Judge orders university
to release Palin documents
SACRAMENTO — A group that filed a
lawsuit over documents related to a June
appearance by Sarah Palin at California State
University, Stanislaus is claiming victory in a
judge’s ruling.
The open-government group Californians
Aware says in a ruling by Stanislaus County
LOCAL/STATE
The letter came in response to a May civil
grand jury report recommending the cities of
San Bruno, Millbrae, Foster City, San Mateo,
Redwood City and the fire protection districts
of Woodside and Colma to either consider
consolidating with its neighboring cities and
districts or contract with the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to
provide fire service.
The county has 14 fire agencies that serve
27 cities, towns, communities and the unin-
corporated areas of San Mateo County.
The North County Fire Authority represents
the county’s largest consolidated fire agency
serving Brisbane, Pacifica and Daly City with
a coverage area of 60 square miles and a serv-
ice population of 155,000. The Colma Fire
Protection District has a service area of just
two square miles and serves roughly 5,600
people in Colma and Broadmoor.
Addiego saw a partnership with San Bruno
and Pacifica as a natural geographic fit for
South San Francisco but admitted South San
Francisco has not focused on the politics of a
possible partnership in the past.

Superior Court Judge Roger Beauchesne on
Wednesday, the judge ordered the university
to release Palin’s contract.
The group says the judge also ordered the
release of any documents related to the use of
university property or services during her
visit.
South San Francisco’s department is unique
in its access to certain things like a training
tower, fire boat and ambulance services.
Currently, San Bruno, Millbrae,
Hillsborough and Burlingame are studying
whether to provide fire services jointly.
Burlingame and Hillsborough formed
Central County Fire under a joint powers
agreement in 2004 that covers 12 square miles
and serves 39,550 residents.
Through a series of mutual and automatic
aid agreements, each fire department in San
Mateo County responds seamlessly to provide
citizens with the closest available units,
according to the civil grand jury report. All
fire agencies are dispatched through one cen-
tral dispatch which creates a “boundary drop”
that enables all fire agencies in the county to
operate as a single fire department, according
to the grand jury report.

CalAware filed a lawsuit in April after the
school refused to disclose documents related
to Palin’s appearance.

with Palin were handled by its nonprofit
foundation, which is not subject to the
California Public Records Act.
The university did not immediately
respond to requests for comment Wednesday

EPA bans big ships from dumping sewage
By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Cruise ships
and other large commercial vessels will
not be allowed to dump sewage within
three miles of the California coast under
a new federal rule, environmental regu-
lators announced Wednesday.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s new rule will take effect early
next year and adds teeth to existing state
law, which already bans ships from
dumping runoff from their showers or
sinks, oil or other hazardous substances.
Regional EPA Administrator Jared
Blumenfeld said cruise ships and other
vessels dump 20 million gallons of
sewage off California’s coast each year,
which ends up fouling beaches and bays.
Some cruise ships can hold 6,000 pas-
sengers, so a lot of sewage can be
dumped from just one vessel. The refuse
ends up being jettisoned into the sea, and
if close enough to shore can affect water
quality at beaches, leading to closures.
Michael Crye, executive vice presi-
dent of Cruise Lines International
Association, said its members already
follow discharge regulations exceeding
the new standards. The group represents
25 companies, including Carnival and
Disney Cruise Lines.
“Our vessels have been following
industry wide practices and California
state law. They don’t discharge within
three miles of the California coast, and
have been following that for a number of
years,” Crye said.
But the new rule doesn’t just target
cruise liners. Large container vessels
bringing goods into port also would be
covered by the regulation, which will
apply to all vessels of 300 gross tons or
more.
“California is a hub for international
trade, with ports in Los Angeles, Long
Beach and Oakland. So a lot of sewage
ends up in our waters for goods that end
up in Chicago and New York,”
Blumenfeld said.
Even though the state’s measure origi-
nally included sewage, regulating that
discharge falls under the jurisdiction of
the federal Clean Water Act, so EPA had
to take the lead on controlling it.
The new rule allows the U.S. Coast
Guard to cite vessels for violations.
The rule applies to all sewage dis-
charges, treated or not.

STATE GOVERNMENT
• On a bipartisan 22-11 vote, the
state Senate Wednesday sent Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger legislation
to safeguard children who ski and
snowboard. Senate Bill 880,
authored by state Sen. Leland Yee,
D-San Francisco/San Mateo, would
require all children under age 18 to wear helmets while ski-
ing and snowboarding. The bill would also require resorts to
post signs about the law on trail maps, websites and other
locations throughout the property. Following the lead of
California’s bicycle helmet law, SB 880 would impose a fine
of not more than $25 on the parents of a child who fails to
wear a helmet while skiing or snowboarding.
• Legislation that would allow the state to recoup tax cred-
its given to corporations that decrease jobs or that move out
of the state was approved by the state Assembly Wednesday
on a 43-26 vote. The bill, authored by Yee, will receive a pro-
cedural concurrence vote in the Senate later this week before
consideration by the governor. The Senate previously
approved the bill on a 22-11 vote.
• Legislation by state Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, to allow state residents who vote by mail to verify
that their ballots were counted was unanimously approved by
the Legislature Wednesday and sent to the governor.
Sponsored by the Secretary of State, Assembly Bill 2616
would allow these voters to confirm their votes were count-
ed either by calling county election offices or through coun-
ty websites.
• Legislation by Hill to increase the penalty for pirate lim-
ousine drivers at San Francisco International Airport from
a simple infraction to a misdemeanor passed out of the
Assembly yesterday and sent to the governor. Assembly Bill
1885 would increase the punishment for drivers who illegal-
ly solicit for passengers at SFO and Ontario International
Airport to a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in
county jail for up to six months and/or a fine up to $1,000.

Health insurance rate hike
By Shaya Tayefe Mohajer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — State regulators have
accepted rate hikes on individual Anthem
Blue Cross health insurance policies after
public outrage and government scrutiny halted
a larger increase.
The California Department of Insurance
said Wednesday it approved a rate increase
averaging about 14 percent for Anthem Blue
Cross customers. The department also
approved a nearly 19 percent increase for Blue
Shield of California.
Anthem, the state’s largest for-profit insurer,
had previously requested a boost that would
have raised rates as much as 39 percent for
some customers, with average increases of
about 25 percent.
But regulators found accounting errors in
the proposal and Anthem retracted the filing,
which would have affected about 800,000
individual policies.
Anthem’s rate hike was repeatedly criti-
cized by President Barack Obama as an exam-
ple of a broken health care system in the run-
up to the vote on federal health care reform.
The smaller increase announced Wednesday
was expected to save consumers $184 million,

State had weak support for school grant bid
By Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Weak support from
teacher unions was a key factor in California’s
failure to win money in the Obama adminis-
tration’s school reform competition, accord-
ing to documents released Wednesday by U.S.
Department of Education.
The state was not among the 10 winners
announced Tuesday in the second round of the
$4.35 billion grant contest, which rewards
states for ambitious reforms to improve low-
performing schools, boost graduation rates
and close achievement gaps.
California, which stood to win as much as
$700 million, placed 16th of the 19th finalists
STATE
“We wish it were a much smaller
increase,but this is unfortunately what we’re
paying out to hospitals,doctors and pharmaceutical
companies to pay the cost of the claims of these members.”
Kazanis said.
Anthem spokeswoman Kristin Binns said in
a written statement the company “is pleased
that the department has posed no objections to
our individual rate filings and we look forward
to continuing to serve consumers in
California.”
Anthem’s parent company is Indianapolis-
based Wellpoint Inc.
Nonprofit insurer Blue Shield of
California’s rate hike will affect more than
247,000 policyholders.
“We wish it were a much smaller increase,
but this is unfortunately what we’re paying
out to hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical
companies to pay the cost of the claims of
these members,” said Tom Epstein,
spokesman for Blue Shield.
Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner
instituted independent reviews of the top four
insurers in the state in June to help keep the
companies in line with California law mandat-
in the second round, scoring 424 out of 500
possible points. The state scored 416 points in
the first round, when only two states —
Tennessee and Delaware — won grants.
In the so-called scorecard released
Wednesday, federal reviewers said they were
concerned that the state’s plan only had the
backing of 300 of the state’s roughly 1,800
local education agencies — and only one third
of local teacher unions in those districts.
“The lack of firm commitment from unions
representing two-thirds of participating LEAs
could prove problematic and may interfere
with the state implementing aspects of the
proposed reform agenda,” wrote one of the
five reviewers.
Officials with the teacher’s union,
— Tom Epstein,spokesman for Blue Shield
ing 70 percent of income be used for medical
treatment of policyholders.
The rate hikes by Anthem and Blue Shield
underwent independent reviews that were
released Wednesday and found the two major
insurers to be in compliance with the law.
Anthony Wright, executive director of
Health Access, a nonprofit advocacy group for
consumers, said state regulators need better
control over the rate hike approval process.
Two bills currently being considered by the
Legislature — AB2578 and SB1163 — would
strengthen the authority of insurance regula-
tors, he said.
“The fact that Anthem had to pull back and
reduce their rate hike shows that public over-
sight can work, but we’re not going to have
the presidential spotlight on every future rate
increase,” Wright said.
Providers must give 30 days notice to poli-
cyholders before increasing rates.
California Teachers Association, have said
they don’t believe it’s the right time to imple-
ment many of the proposed reforms because
schools districts are grappling with deep cuts
in state funding.
The state also lost points for not fully imple-
menting a statewide data system to monitor
student achievement over time.
But California scored well in categories
focused on developing common academic
standards and turning around low-performing
schools.
Hawaii was the only Western state among
the combined 12 winners of both rounds, but
Education Department spokesman Justin
Hamilton said geography played no factor in
the applications.

Officials: 200 new
cases of whooping cough
LOS ANGELES — Children are heading
back to school as California’s whooping
cough epidemic keeps spreading, a worrisome
combination that has prompted health officials
in at least one county to warn that unvaccinat-
ed students could be sent home if an outbreak
occurs.
More than 200 new confirmed and suspect-
ed cases of the illness were tallied in the past
week, bringing the state total this year to 3,311
cases as of Aug. 24. The figure released
Wednesday marks a sevenfold increase from
the same period last year and the most cases
since 1958. An eighth death was recorded by
state health officials last week. All the fatali-
ties involved babies under 3 months old. This
year’s total now matches those in 2005, the
most recent peak year.
A typical case of whooping cough, also
known as pertussis, might appear similar to a
common cold, starting with a cough and runny
nose for one to two weeks and followed by
weeks or months of rapid coughing fits that
sometimes end with a whooping sound. Fever
is rare.

his wife Karen and their three children
Caroline, Patrick and Nickolas. In addition to
her mother Eva, she was preceded in death by
her husband Konrad, sister Mary and brother
Alois.
Her memorial service will be held 1 p.m.
Sunday, Aug. 29 at Chapel of the Highlands

Local brief
Two arrested in gas
station shooting, robbery
Police in Pacifica have arrested two juve-
niles in connection with a shooting and armed
robbery at a Shell gas station on Friday.
Additional arrests are expected in the case
soon, Pacifica police Capt. Fernando
Realyvasquez said.
A 30-year-old clerk was shot multiple times
when three suspects entered a Shell station at
679 Hickey Blvd. at about 8:20 p.m. and
robbed the business, according to police.
The victim survived the shooting. A clerk
who answered the phone at the gas station
today said his coworker had been released
from the hospital and is recovering at home.
The suspects were wearing masks, black
sweatshirts and black pants, police said. They
were believed to be driving a light-colored
mid- to late 1980s Toyota or Honda four-door
vehicle, police said.
The Pacifica Police Department is continu-
ing to investigate the crime. Anyone with
information about the case is encouraged to

DA drops fake bomb threat case

Prosecutors dropped a felony bomb scare

Antonio Derivera Santiago III, 26, of
Pacifica, was first allowed to withdraw his no
contest plea yesterday and then prosecutor
Melissa McKowan asked that the case be
dropped outright.
Prosecutors have believed for more than a
year that Santiago called Caltrain out of bore-
dom, telling a customer service representative
that there was a bomb on train 101 and
prompting an evacuation and full-scale
search.
However, further investigation of the phone
records done this summer showed that neither

“I do have a day job,” Brown, the state
attorney general, told reporters as he entered
a private fundraiser for his campaign in
Sacramento on Tuesday. “My opponent has
no job and writes her own checks.”
The events come after weeks of negative
media coverage about Brown’s use of a state

governor he eliminated such perks, and
questions about the size of his state pen-
sion. Brown told reporters on Tuesday that
he would provide details of his pension
when he gets the documents from the

Brown said he has spent his summer

with groups around California and
courting donors. On Tuesday he held an

Whitman has blanketed the radio and TV

Millions may have to switch drug plans
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More than 3
million seniors may have to switch
their Medicare prescription plan
next year, even if they’re perfectly
happy with it, thanks to an attempt
by the government to simplify their
lives.
The policy change could turn into
a hassle for seniors who hadn’t
intended to switch plans during
Medicare’s open enrollment season
this fall.
And it risks undercutting
President Barack Obama’s promise
that people who like their health
care plans can keep them.
A new analysis by a leading pri-
vate research firm estimates that
more than 3 million beneficiaries
will see their current drug plan elim-
inated as Medicare tries to winnow
down duplicative and confusing
coverage, in order to offer con-
sumers more meaningful choices.
Instead of 40 or more plans in each
state, beneficiaries would pick from
30 or so.
“As a result of this policy, there
are going to be fewer plans offered
in 2011,” said Bonnie Washington, a
senior analyst with Avalere Health,
which produced the study. “There is
still going to be robust choice for
beneficiaries, but those who have to
change plans could experience some
disruption and inconvenience.”
While seniors would not lose
Medicare coverage, they could see
changes in their premiums and
copayments.
Medicare officials dismissed the
Avalere estimate without offering

their own number. “Anybody who is
producing that kind of analysis is
simply guessing,” said Jonathan
Blum, deputy administrator for
Medicare.
Avalere’s Washington said the
analysis used Medicare’s specifica-
tions.
For example, Medicare has
already notified insurers they will
no longer be able to offer more than
one “basic” drug plan in any given
location. Several major prescription
plans, including CVS-Caremark and
NATION
AARP, offered two basic options
throughout the country this year,
Washington said. Eliminating that
particular kind of duplication would
force 2.75 million beneficiaries to
find new coverage, according to
Avalere’s estimate.
When other changes are taken
into account, as many as 3.7 million
Medicare recipients may have to
switch, the analysis concluded.
That’s about 20 percent of the 17.5
million enrolled in stand-alone drug
plans.
Foreign spys attack

WASHINGTON — A foreign spy
agency pulled off the most serious
breach of Pentagon computer net-

I
n Jon Mays’ recent column,
“With high-speed rail, we
must help ourselves,” he
makes a valid point that the
Peninsula communities should
help themselves. But what he
suggests they do — pay hundreds
of millions of dollars for under-
grounding HSR’s four tracks
through their communities — is
way beyond their financial capa-
bilities. Besides, the local com-
munities did not create the prob-
lem: It was the High-Speed Rail
Authority and our Joint Powers
Board (Caltrain) that did, but who
nevertheless are in the process of
riding roughshod over and
through mid-Peninsula communi-
ties in the name of “progress.”
We should all be able to agree
that the responsibility for solving
these problems needs to be shared
responsibly by the authority,
Caltrain and the affected local
communities. This will require
creative, out-of-the-box thinking
and solutions that involve gen-
uine collaboration among all
three parties-something we have
yet to see.
At the outset, there needs to be
recognition of the tremendous
value to high-speed rail of the
Caltrain right-of-way, who owns
it and who paid for it. Nominally,
it was paid for by the three coun-
ties (San Francisco, San Mateo
and Santa Clara) that comprise
the Peninsula Corridor Joint
Powers Board (JPB). But in fact
the right-of-way was paid for
entirely by San Mateo County
which received IOUs from the
yet to be
redeemed —
because those
other counties
say they have
other priorities.
One cannot
ignore the egre-
gious irony that it is the commu-
nities of San Mateo County that
paid for the right-of-way who are
now expected to bear the brunt of
the proposed four-track elevated
freeway “solution” only because
it is the least expensive alterna-
tive for JPB’s prospective tenant,
high-speed rail.
So here’s one creative option
that should be explored: San
Mateo County can offer to for-
give the debt of the other two
counties in exchange for our JPB
insisting that high-speed rail
apply the current value of that
debt to the cost difference
between elevated tracks and a
covered trench in this county.
This, of course, would have to be
negotiated between the JPB and
its prospective tenant, high-speed
rail. But it needs to be recognized
that high-speed rail is getting a
huge bargain from JPB in its cur-
rent, but not final, arrangement.
Our representatives need to do
better for the taxpayers who paid
for the vital right-of-way. There
should be room for compromise,
sooner rather than later, since the
state estimates that every year of
delay boosts the total cost of the
high-speed rail project by $1.5
billion.
While the High-Speed Rail
costs, that is not the case with our
JPB that has broader responsibili-
ties to its constituent communi-
ties. As stewards of the most
valuable stretch of land in
Northern California, its board
members have a fiduciary duty to
preserve and protect the taxpayer
investment in that land as well as
provide for the operation of
Caltrain. Unquestionably, over
the next 20-50 years, the air
rights above the Caltrain right-of-
way will become increasingly
valuable, provided the tracks are
located underground in a tunnel
or covered trench. Over the years,
private developers of properties
adjacent to such a right-of-way
could pay dearly for the air rights
above this ground-level open
space. It would enable them to
build commercial or residential
low-rise buildings (four to seven
stories) on these adjacent proper-
ties, as may be permitted by local
planning codes.
But the economic value of
these important air rights falls to
zero wherever high-speed rail is
allowed to build an at-grade or
elevated rail structure. How can
the JPB simply forfeit these valu-
able air rights by passive acquies-
cence in their permanent loss
resulting from high-speed rail’s
plans for at-grade or elevated
four-track structures through
Brisbane, South San Francisco,
San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame,
San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos,
Redwood City, Atherton and
Menlo Park — just to mention
the directly affected San Mateo

The Gulf oil spill
— The New York Times
The Obama administration owes
the American people plain talk
about the oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico particularly about how
much oil remains and the dangers
to humans, wildlife and the envi-
ronment.
The White House last fully
addressed the issue in early August.
A report by government scientists
declared that three-quarters of the
five million barrels spilled had dis-
appeared skimmed, burned, dis-
persed. Top officials took to the air-
waves to celebrate the news.
This rosy narrative has since been
badly shaken. Scientists at the
University of Georgia later said that
Bay Meadows
petition battle
The developers seeking to raze
Bay Meadows race track and
replace it with residential, retail and
commercial buildings decided the
week of Aug. 27, 2005 to fight
fire with fire with a petition drive
in support of their
cause.
A group fighting
the demolition had
already collected 7,000 signa-
tures in support of keeping the
71-year-old race track open while
the property owners collected a few
thousand signatures in favor of
redevelopment only a few days into
the movement.
The petition asked residents if
they’d support the development of
housing at Bay Meadows, although
those looking to save the race track
claim Bay Meadows representatives
painted an unfair picture of the
development. People had reported
being told by Bay Meadows repre-
sentatives that they could either
have Indian gaming or a new neigh-
borhood, said Donna Bischoff of
the Save Bay Meadows Citizens
Group. However, Bay Meadows
officials said there is no specific ref-
erence to Indian gaming and all the
facts of the development are pre-
sented to people.
Other voices
the rate of evaporation and biologi-
cal breakdown had been greatly
exaggerated. Another team of sci-
entists wrote in the journal Science
about the discovery of a vast 22-
mile underwater oil plume the size
of Manhattan. Most alarmingly,
they said they saw little evidence
that the oil was being rapidly con-
sumed by the gulf’s petroleum-eat-
ing microbes, raising the possibility
of significant future damage to the
ecosystem.
No one is accepting these studies
as the last word, and there is no evi-
dence that the White House is being
dishonest. Jane Lubchenco, the
respected marine biologist who
runs the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, has
said that plumes undoubtedly exist.
Sparks fly over jet
fuel taxes in county
The fiery debate over jet fuel
taxes in San Mateo County kicked
up several notches the week of Aug.
27, 2005 with then
Assemblyman Leland Yee,
D-San Francisco, sending
out a recorded message to
North County constituents
asking for support on his bill
that would deliver 50 percent of the
jet fuel tax receipts (approximately
$1.5 million) to San Mateo County.
Bill Chiang, of Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier’s office, said they
received some calls and most people
end up agreeing with Tissier’s
stance to ask for 100 percent of the
tax.

Stocks have slight recovery
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,239.50 NEW YORK — It was shaping up to
be another crummy day on the stock
market Wednesday until investors decid-
ed to start looking for beaten-down
shares after four straight days of
declines.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
as much as 102 points in the first hour of
trading after the latest batch of weak
reports renewed fears that the economy
was slowing down. Sales of new homes
fell to their lowest pace on record in
July, and durable goods orders were also
weak.
But after four straight days of avoiding
risk, traders began edging out of safe
assets like Treasurys and back into
stocks. The Dow ended with a gain of
19.61 points, or 0.2 percent, at
10,060.06.

Bad news adds to air of recession
By Daniel Wgner and Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It’s starting to feel
like another recession.
Businesses are ordering fewer goods.
Home sales are the slowest in decades.
Jobs are scarce, and unemployment
claims are rising. Perhaps most worri-
some, manufacturing activity, which had
been one of the economy’s few bright
spots, is faltering.
“The odds of a double-dip are rising
and uncomfortably high,” said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s
Analytics, referring to the possibility that
the nation will tip back into recession.
“Nothing else can go wrong. There is no
cushion left.”
On Wednesday, the government
offered the latest dose of grim news
about the economic recovery:
Companies cut back last month on their
investments in equipment and machines.
And Americans bought new homes at the
weakest pace in nearly half a century.

Unemployment remains near double

The economy has grown for a full year

the pace of expansion has slowed signif-

Terra Nova re-loads offensive
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

balance
Looks like the run-and-shoot offense imple-
mented by the Terra Nova football team last
season is here to stay.
“We are committed to that style of offense,”
said Terra Nova coach Bill Gray, who is enter-
ing his 21st season with the Tigers. “It puts a lot
of pressure on high school defenses. It wears
them out.”
With the electric Carl Cox running the show
last season, along with a stable of sure-handed
receivers, the Tigers won their seventh
Peninsula Athletic League title during Gray’s
tenure and advanced to the Central Coast
Section Division III championship game.
But the Tigers graduated Cox and many of
their key wideouts. No problem. Unlike many
public school teams, the Tigers merely re-load
year after year.
Terra Nova football teams are generally sen-
ior heavy, so there is always a high number of
positions to fill. But Gray has perfected the sys-
tem of having players ready to step in and fill
those slots.
Gray knew, however, he would only have
Cox for his senior year under center, so he
looked to 2010 by bringing up sophomore
Chris Forbes last season to serve as Cox’s
backup while also starting as a linebacker. That
year of learning has Forbes in position to hit the
ground running as the starting quarterback this
season.
“Forbes, he’s pretty damn efficient. He’s not
as improvisational as [Cox],” Gray said.
“(Learning the system last year) was extreme-
ly important and playing [linebacker] made it
comfortable for him at the varsity level. He
[could] sit back and watch the offense and learn
it without the pressure of having to do it.”
And he brings different intangibles to the
table than Cox did. First off, Forbes is a good
six inches taller than Cox at 6-foot-4 and is
more of a traditional quarterback. That won’t

The King’s Academy football coaching staff
went into the offseason knowing it had to devel-
op a more potent passing game if it wanted to
improve on last year’s solid third-place finish in
the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division.
Coach Ron Kellner feels confident the
Knights have done just that, but make no mis-
take: Much of TKA’s success will rest on the
shoulders of dynamic Stanford-bound tailback
Amir Carlisle, who rushed for 2,037 yards and
26 touchdowns while averaging 11 yards per
carry last season.
“We’re not stupid,” Kellner said. “Amir is
awesome and looks better than ever, which is
kind of odd because he was pretty good last
year.”
That’s a scary thought for the rest of the PAL.
But the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Carlisle is one of
those rare athletes whose production has
matched — perhaps even exceeded, if possible
— the enormous hype that has followed him.
Possessing tremendous speed, elusiveness and
vision, Carlisle can also change direction on a
moment’s notice, often times leaving defenders
grabbing at nothing but air.
He runs a 4.4 40-yard dash and has a 38 inch
vertical leap. Although Carlisle might not be
big for an incoming Division I back, he’s a
powerful force at the high school level. Carlisle
has shown the ability to not only elude and
blow past defenders, but bowl over them as
well. However, if teams focus all their efforts
on Carlisle, his backfield mate — LeeRoy
Richardson — is plenty capable of making

The Giants scored at least 11 runs
in three straight games for the first

weren’t so fortunate in their 12-10

Another strong start for A’s Cahill

CLEVELAND — Trevor Cahill didn’t
need his best stuff to put together anoth-
er strong start for Oakland’s overwhelm-
ing pitching staff. Cahill (14-5) pitched
seven strong innings to beat Cleveland 6-
1 on Wednesday night, handing the
Indians their fifth straight loss. The
right-hander was helped by three double
plays as he improved to 5-1 with a 0.77
ERA in six starts since July 28.
“Cahill is one of the top guys right
now,” said Indians manager Manny Acta,
who was very impressed by the 22-year-
old right-hander. “He kept us hitting the
ball on the ground the whole night.”
A’s 6, Indians 1
Kevin Kouzmanoff lined a three-run
double to cap Oakland’s five-run first
inning off Mitch Talbot (8-11).
“You don’t want to be five down
before you swing the bat, especially fac-
ing a guy who’s competing for the Cy
Young,” Acta said. “That put us in a big
hole.”
Kouzmanoff broke a 4 for 42 slump
(.095) with the shot off the center-field
wall.
“I just wanted to see the ball and hit
it,” said Kouzmanoff, who hit a grand
slam on the first pitch thrown to him
when he debuted for the Indians in 2005.
“I knew I hit it good, but it wasn’t one of
those where you know it’s just gone.”
Jack Cust gave the Athletics a 1-0 lead
with an RBI single grounded between
first and second. After Mark Ellis walked
to load the bases, Rajai Davis grounded
a single between third and short to make
it 2-0.
The speedy Davis nearly caught Ellis
rounding the bases on Kouzmanoff’s
drive. When Ellis slid in ahead of the late
throw, Davis had to tiptoe to the plate to
avoid steamrolling his teammate.
“I didn’t see that and I’m glad I did-
n’t,” Oakland manager Bob Geren said.
“I was watching the throw.”

The cross-
country flight did
not make
Campbell’s arm
stronger, his pass-
es more accurate
or his decision-
making better.
What coming to
Jason the Raiders to
Campbell replace JaMarcus
Russell did do is
could be a force all over the field and on
both sides of the ball for the Tigers this
season.
“[Story] will see extended playing
time on both offense, defense and spe-
cial teams, but he will not be seen as a
starter,” Gray said. “He’s very fast and
does what he’s supposed to do.”
Gray is especially excited about the
offensive line this season. The Tigers
return all-league center Ryan Hornstra,
who will be joined by Jeremiah
Stuckey, who improved immensely as
the season wore on last season.
Returning to the team is Eric Morrow,
who would have probably been an all-
league selection last year, if not for the
fact he transferred to a school in
Southern California before the start of
the 2009 season. He was slated to be a
starter, with Stuckey the backup, but his
move forced Stuckey into the starting
lineup. With Morrow coming back to
Terra Nova, the Tigers basically have
three returning offensive linemen.
“(We’re) better (on the offensive line)
than we were a year ago, clearly,” Gray
said. “We’re bigger, we’re more athlet-
ic, we’re stronger. We have Morrow
back. Stuckey has matured into one of
the top linemen in the county.
“Stuckey was supposed to be on the
SPORTS
help revitalize Campbell and provide a
little bit of hope in Oakland.
“It’s a new start,” Campbell said.
“Oakland is trying to turn it around.
They’re trying to become a new team.
They made a lot of changes, and
they’re trying to do things the right
way and get it going in the right direc-
tion. We have to buy into it. When it
happened on draft day, it was almost
like you got drafted again.”
The trade also gave the Raiders
sideline (last year). When Morrow left,
it gave Jeremiah the opportunity. He
grasped it with both hands and he took
it to the bank. Now, he’s an excellent
pass blocker, excellent run blocker.”
Gray is equally excited about the
potential of the Tigers’ defense. Forbes
will move from the linebacker spot he
occupied last year and will become a
free safety. The Tigers’ linebacking unit
could be one of the best on the
Peninsula with Billy Coen and Jeremy
Leaver returning and will be paired
with junior Ivan Mailangi. At 6-foot-4,
225-pounds, Elliott Mamea will man
one of the defensive end spots, with 5-
foot-10, 210-pound junior Hunter
Hillen at the other end spot. Fred
Degenhardt will also play a defensive
line spot.
“I like the defense,” Gray said.
“We’re probably much more athletic.
We’re much bigger.”
The Tigers will find out real quick
how good they are as the first half of the
season will be fairly brutal. They open
at home against Sacred Heart Cathedral
before going on the road to CCS pow-
ers Wilcox and Pioneer. They close the
non-league portion of the schedule
against San Mateo before opening PAL
Bay Division play against Aragon.

TKA
Continued from page 11

“The kid can bring it,” Kellner said,

referring to Richardson.
Also an outstanding linebacker,
Richardson combines speed and power
to make an impact on both sides of the
ball. If the Knights can establish an
effective passing attack, look out. Their
offense averaged 375 yards per game
last year, but only 45 came through the
air. The parts are seemingly all there for
TKA to be more balanced.
Senior quarterback Nathaniel Recine
saw some action last year and is poised
to make the passing game a legitimate
threat. Kellner said Recine should have
plenty of options to throw to, including
senior tight end Ben Leong and receiv-
er Stephen Kmak. Leong figures to be
the go-to guy on key third-down plays;
the 6-2, 195-pounder also plays defen-
sive end and in the secondary.
“We honestly believe more than ever
we’re going to be throwing the ball (as
a weapon and not just to switch things
up),” Kellner said. “We feel good about
what we’ve got with Nathaniel and our
receivers, and with our personnel on the
line. We’ve been committed to upgrade
our passing, and we’re more deter-
mined than ever to put the ball up in the
air.”
The Knights return 12 starters from
last year’s team and 22 seniors total,
including stalwart linemen Ben
Jendricks and Gunnar Loos. Jendricks
plays offensive and defensive tackle
and has the proverbial motor that never
stops, while defensive tackle Loos uti-
lizes brute force — he’s 6-2, 255
pounds — to clog up the middle.
Running back Amir Carlisle, who has verbally committed to Stanford,
rushed for over 2,000 yards and 26 touchdowns last season.
Kellner is also high on center Jeremy
Wilczek, a 6-3, 310-pound senior who
lost 50 pounds over the offseason.
“We’re looking for big things out of
Jeremy,” Kellner said. “Even though he
started some games for us last year, he’s
one of our most improved players.”
DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE
TKA prides itself on having tough
and durable linemen. No one exempli-
fies that more than the 6-3, 230-pound
Jendricks, who has run a 6 minute, 30
second mile.
“He’s in incredible shape and can
outwork anyone,” Kellner said.

Heck, the county should also sue

49ers’ quarterback situation.
Third-stringer Nate Davis may have
the most athletic ability and the
most upside of any of the quarter-
backs on the roster, but there is no
way — and I mean no way —
Davis is going to supplant Alex
Smith as the starting signal caller.
The team has invested too much
time and money on Smith to sud-
denly change direction and go with
a guy who shows flashes of bril-
liance but is also inconsistent at
best.
So for all you 49ers fans calling
for Davis to start, cool your jets.
The kid is no way ready to be an
every-down quarterback. You’ve
seen what he can do in preseason
the last couple of years and he’s
looked good. But many forget he’s
playing against defensive players
that probably won’t even be in the
league after cuts are made. When
Mike Singletary ripped Davis after
Sunday’s game against Minnesota,
many Davis supporters believed it
was a way to motivate Davis to
work harder. I, however, agree with
the Chronicle’s Scott Ostler, who
believes it was a way to tell the fans
to settle down about Davis, he’s not
starting anytime soon.
U.S. men’s basketball team. I’ve
been following the team from afar
as it prepares for the upcoming
world championships in Turkey.
Don’t be surprised if the U.S. does-
n’t come home with gold.
I looked at the roster yesterday
and it’s not exactly a who’s-who of
NBA stars. The most recognizable
name might be Oklahoma City stud
Kevin Durant. Other than that,
Chauncey Billups? Tyson
Chandler? Kevin Love? Solid play-
ers, some are even all stars, but they
will not make you forget the Kobes,
LeBrons and D-Wades of the NBA
world.
Long gone are the days of the
U.S. sending essentially a second-
string squad to any kind of interna-
tional tournament because the world
has caught up to the U.S. since the
original “Dream Team” debut at the
1992 Olympics (kids, look it up.
You will never find a greater collec-
tion of basketball talent — ever).
The U.S. needs to send its best if
it hopes to be the best.

How to grow the tastiest tomatoes
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Some people, many of them gardeners,
believe that the secret to eating a delectable
tomato is to grow it yourself. Second best,
they say, is farm-fresh.
At the risk of committing horticultural sac-
rilege, I say “not so” in both cases.
Ripeness is, of course, important to great
flavor — an unripe tomato tastes no better
than cotton soaked in diluted lemon juice. But
this time of year, ripe tomatoes are to be had
everywhere: from backyards, roadsides, farm
stands, even supermarkets!
And if truth be told, tomatoes picked slight-
ly underripe can still ripen to perfection off
the plant, as do bananas, avocados and pears.
(Not every fruit ripens after picking.
Underripe grapes, cherries or blackberries, for
example, will soften and might even lose
some acidity after picking, but this is different
from true, flavorful ripening.)
The real secret to eating a delectable toma-
to is getting a variety that tastes great.
SELECT FOR FLAVOR
There are hundreds and hundreds of tomato
varieties around. Many have been selected or
bred for commercial qualities such as high
yield, good appearance or concentrated ripen-
ing. Other varieties are notable for their dis-
ease resistance or their earliness.
In contrast, a backyard gardener’s first con-
sideration in choosing a tomato variety might
be flavor. Highly touted resistance to “VFN”
is important, but only if verticillium disease,
fusarium disease or nematodes — which
“VFN” denotes — rear their heads in your or
in neighbors’ gardens.
Likewise, there’s no need to shy away from
a good-tasting variety that is low-yielding
because, in the backyard, you can compensate
by putting in a few extra plants.
And it’s true that the convolutions that cat-
face the fruits of the tomato variety Belgian
Giant make the fruits ugly. But the rich flavor
that Belgian Giant slices add to a sandwich
more than compensates for this defect.
RECOGNIZING A
GREAT-TASTING TOMATO
As a sweeping generalization, so-called
SUBURBAN LIVING Thursday • Aug. 26, 2010 21
indeterminate tomato varieties taste best.
These are varieties that form fruits along ever-
elongating stems. With determinate varieties,
fruits terminate a stem so that further growth
is from side branches that, in turn, are termi-
nated by fruits. Seed packets and nursery cat-
alogs tell whether a variety is determinate or
indeterminate.
The advantages of determinate varieties are
earliness and concentrated ripening period.
However, I’d rather wait longer for my first
tomatoes than eat an insipid fresh Sub-Arctic
Cherry or cooked Roma tomato.
Indeterminate varieties taste better because
they have a higher ratio of leaves to fruits.
“Indeterminate” is not the last word in great
tomato varieties, however. Even among inde-
terminate tomatoes, there is the good, the bad
and the ugly. Here, things become more a
matter of taste.
TIME TO NAME NAMES
A general consensus has singled out some Some sources for seeds of many varieties of tomatoes are Fedco (Fedcoseeds.com),Tomato
varieties, such as Belgian Giant, Prudens Growers Supply Company (Tomatogrowers.com),Tomatofest (Tomatofest.com) and Totally
Purple and Brandywine, as having excellent Tomatoes (Totallytomato.com).
flavor.
These three are old varieties, but some
upstarts also stand out for fine flavor. Sun
Gold and Sun Cherry, for example, are two
recently bred hybrid cherry tomatoes so fla-
vorful that it’s hard not to gobble them all up
on the way from the garden to the kitchen.
Rich, flavorful canning tomatoes include
San Marzano, Amish Paste, Anna Russian and
Howard’s German.
The way to sleuth out great-tasting toma-
toes is to listen to others’ opinions and taste
many of them yourself. Now, when fresh
tomatoes are abundant, is a good time for this
sleuthing. Then, find out the names of vari-
eties that you think have supreme flavor, and
make a note to buy seeds or seedlings of them
next year.
If you can’t find out the name of the variety
and it’s not a hybrid, squeeze out some seeds,
let them sit in water for a few days, then strain
and dry them for planting next year.
Go outside, pick and bite into one of your
Early Girl or Big Boy tomatoes, two varieties
frequently sold as transplants. Do you think
they have really great taste? Any home-grown
tomato tastes good, but there’s no reason not
to grow the best.

Transforming your SCHOOL
bathroom into a spa
By Michele Keith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There’s nothing like some me-time in a luxurious spa after a
long day. And it takes just a little effort to transform your own
bathroom into just such a place, an oasis in which to relax and
rejuvenate.
Some simple fixes and inexpensive accessories can do the
trick, designers say.
BEGIN WITH A CLEAN SLATE
“Rooms feel calmer without clutter. So before doing anything
else, clear off surfaces, walls and floors,” says New York City
designer Eve Robinson. “And while you’re at it, toss out any-
thing past its prime or that you really don’t want or need.”
Robinson favors light color palettes — seafoam green and
white, for instance — and uses very few accessories, perhaps
“simple black-and-white photographs of ocean waves for a
sense of relaxation and comfort.”
She adores the classic spa feel of terry cloth, and suggests
“crisp, white towels and bath mats to brighten and freshen a
bathroom.” Robinson also likes upholstering stools on wheels
with terry to provide seating or space to pile extra towels. Often,
she embroiders them with such words as “splish” and “splash.”
While Dallas designer John Phifer Marrs is equally keen on
soft hues, “Sometimes the most relaxing baths are no-color,” he
says. For one client, he used varying shades of white and off-
white, and added some baroque sconces and a neoclassical, tole-
topped table for elegance and oomph. As with many furnishings,
he says, “You can often replicate such high-end pieces with
reproductions and flea-market finds.”
SCENTS AND SOUNDS
The right music can make a difference, according to Los
Angeles-based designer Molly Luetkemeyer.
“Get the smallest iPod dock possible,” she says. “Make a play
list of music that helps you unwind, or download some ambient
nature sounds — ocean waves, a bubbling brook, forest breezes.
Turn it on when you enter the room and almost immediately
you’ll feel more serene.”
One of Luetkemeyer’s favorite parts about visiting spas is
“being enveloped by delicious aromas,” not only essential oils
and bubble bath, but “candles that make you go ’ahh.”’
“Try short, chubby ones along the bathtub rim, several can-
dlesticks grouped together or a candelabrum — and be sure to
dim the lights before stepping into the tub,” she says.
Pay attention to the little things: Luetkemeyer always has a
pretty container of matches near her candles.
And getting back to good smells, she counsels, “Push the
spent end of the wick into the warm wax to extinguish the can-
dle. If you blow it out, the beautiful aroma will be covered by a
smoky odor.”

gated to meet our commitments, and we
will. But the state can decide to defer
payments as long as it gives 30 days
notice.”
First it may help to understand that
school districts are funded in one of two
ways: through the state on a per child
basis or by local property taxes. School
districts in which property tax revenue is
more than the district would receive
from the state are called basic aid dis-
tricts. Since the funding is local, the
state’s decision to delay should have a
smaller effect on these districts. In San
Mateo County, seven districts —
Bayshore, Jefferson, Redwood City,
Millbrae, Pacifica, Ravenswood City
and San Carlos elementary — are fund-
ed by the state, known as revenue limit.
Funding to these districts is now in ques-
tion.
Deferring payments is not a new move
by the state. It did this last year.

grass. The result has been fantastic, and
the wildflowers are the stars of the

Here are a few choice perennial wild-
flowers that you might consider includ-
ing in your garden.
• Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata).
Sweet smelling and perfect for either a
perennial border or a meadow, it is a host
plant for monarch butterflies.

District took a $7.4 million short-term
loan last year, said Parungao. That came
with $27,000 in interest costs.
“That’s about the cost for a part-time
employee, someone I could have hired
instead of paying interest,” he said.
Monday’s announcement means dis-
tricts that are state funded will need to
wait until October to get the bulk of the
funds, said Peter Burchyns, spokesman
for the San Mateo County Office of
Education. Instead of receiving 14 per-
cent of the annual allocation in
September and no payment in October,
districts will receive 5 percent in
September and 9 percent in October, he
explained.
That plan could change with 30 days
notice. The uncertainty has districts
beginning to plan should they need to
access other funds.
Borrowing is always an option for
Redwood City. The district will be
receiving $2.5 million less than antici-
pated due to the most recent deferral.
Parungao noted holding off on borrow-
ing is his preference, really because the
district would prefer not to add interest
payments to the already-strapped budg-
et. Should the district need to borrow,
there’s another problem: not having a
state budget.
• Goldenrod (Solidago sphacelata).
Contrary to popular belief, the pollen of
goldenrod doesn’t produce an allergic
reaction. These plants are not only beau-
tiful but reliable and easy to grow. They
provide nectar for multitudes of insects,
and the plant also plays host to a variety
of butterfly larvae.
• Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgi-
da). Commonly seen along roadsides, it
grows in a variety of soils, is drought tol-
erant and blooms for weeks at a time.
• Culver’s root (Veronicastrum vir-
ginicum). These elegant plants have
elongated, wand-like flowers. They will
grow in full sun or dappled shade and
attract a variety of native butterflies.
• Great coneflower (Rudbeckia maxi-
ma). This bold-leafed, tall rudbeckia has
blue-grey foliage that is attractive in its
own right. However, it is the 6- to 8-foot-
tall stems with giant black-eyed Susan
type flowers at the ends that really make

With a state budget, lenders can see
there is a plan and the bridge loan will be
paid off. Without a budget, there is no
guarantee when the district will be
repaid. As a result, securing a loan could
come with even larger interest rates,
explained Parungao.
Districts also have the opportunity to
pull from other funds, like reserves, to
fill the short-term cash needs.
“The ‘game’ from Sacramento related
to cash management has changed signif-
icantly with cash deferrals and changes
to the apportionment schedules. It puts
school districts in a very difficult situa-
tion. Running out of cash is an ugly busi-
ness,” said Cynthia Shieh, chief business
official for the Millbrae Elementary
School District. The Millbrae district
plans to mitigate the negative cash flow
by using an interfund borrowing
approach, Shieh added.
School districts have many different
accounts of money; basically money is
earmarked for specific things like
salaries, reserves or capital improve-
ments. Interfund borrowing allows a dis-
trict to borrow for a limited time from
other accounts it oversees.
Regardless of the method chosen, dis-
trict officials are closely monitoring cash
flow and hoping for a state budget.
this plant a stand out.
• False sunflower and/or oxeye
(Heliopsis helianthoides). This lovely
plant produces 6-foot-tall yellow. Disk-
like flowers on sturdy stems and grows
with an open habit. The stems are a
beautiful dark purple.
• Gaura. Gaura lindheimeri is a native
of Texas, Louisiana and Mexico, but
‘Siskiyou Pink,’ a vivid pink variety, was
discovered as a genetic sport at Siskiyou
Rare Plant Nursery in Oregon.
• Blazing Star (Liatris): The sturdy
wand-like purple flowers of L. spicata
are a favorite food source for many
species of butterflies as well as other
small winged insects.
Thanks to the growing popularity of
native wildflowers, more garden centers
are stocking these beautiful plants or
their cultivars. You can also look for
them at the local native plant sales pop-
ping up across the country.

said.
“It’s disappointing that the union

tial customers will experience delays,

DAILY JOURNAL
SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright
August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean,
the current production of San
Francisco’s Multi Ethnic Theater, is
delivered full force by an extraordinary
ensemble of actors whose characters
struggle with inner secrets and
tragedies of circumstance that weigh
on their souls and twist their lives.
Gem of the Ocean is the first in
Wilson’s renowned ten-play Pittsburgh
Cycle, each set in a different decade,
depicting the African-American expe-
rience in the twentieth century.
The intimacy of the 70-seat Next
Stage venue allows the audience the
pleasure of seeing every nuance of
expression as the drama unfolds at
1839 Wylie Ave., the Hill District,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1904.
The story is set in motion as Aunt
Ester, the household’s 285-year-old
matriarch, welcomes Solly Two Kings,
who was born into slavery and scouted
for the Union, and Citizen Barlow, a
young man from Alabama searching
for a new life.
The sign on Aunt Ester’s door reads,
“This is a peaceful house and a safe
haven for all who visit here.” The
events that play out under her roof
leave the viewer to decide if this greet-
ing will be a promise kept or an unful-
filled hope.
Two hours and 30 minutes with one
10-minute intermission. Directed and
designed by Lewis Campbell. Through
Sept. 5.
CAST MEMBERS:
(Cast members alternate performanc-
es.) Afi-Tiombe Kambon (Aunt Ester),
Bennie Lewis (Caesar), Brianne Moore
(Black Mary), Charles Johnson (Eli),
Fabian Herd (Citizen Barlow), John
Jamieson (Rutherford Selig), Kendra
Owens (Aunt Ester), M Jordan Jr.

Selig), Stuart Hall (Solly Two Kings),
Trevor Lawrence (Eli) and Vernon

Benavides to display her signs but not to
sleep on the corner.
The Belmont Police Department had
been in close contact with Benavides’
family and the County Health System
for outreach to her leading up to
Friday’s arrest.
Last May, city officials investigated
whether she could be cited for blight
because of the large banners she posted
at the intersection.
The signs and banners contained inco-
herent messages about God, her son, the
government and other topics.
Her belongings are being held by the
Belmont Police Department as evi-
dence, Halleran said.
She once displayed similar messages
on two houses and two cars she former-
Black Mary (Brianne Moore) hears Citizen Barlow (Fabian Herd) recount his Alabama
past in the Multi Ethnic Theater production of August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean,
running through Sept.5 at The Next Stage in San Francisco.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
The Next Stage, 1620 Gough St. (at
Bush Street), attached to historic
Trinity Episcopal Church, is two
blocks west of Van Ness Avenue. There
is some street parking or the ABC
Parking Garage, 1399 Bush St. (at Polk
Street) is an eight-minute walk.

under 8 years old will be admitted.
AN ASIDE:
Director Lewis Campbell said: “We
are particularly proud to present the
play that begins August Wilson’s 10-
play cycle dramatizing the African
American experience during the 20th
century. We have already presented
two other plays in the cycle, Fences
and Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, but
Gem of the Ocean is the most poetic of
the three, as funny as it is dramatic. I
firmly believe that August Wilson is
the Shakespeare of our time, much
more so than other Shakespeare imita-
tors such as Maxwell Anderson and
Christopher Fry. Wilson wrote one
play for each decade of the 20th centu-
ry. Gem of the Ocean, the first of the
cycle, urges a life on the battlefield of
truth.
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
The Custom Made Theatre Co.

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?
Playwright Wilson dropped out of
high school in the 10th grade, but hid
this fact from his mother because he
did not want to disappoint her. Wilson
then made such extensive use of the
Pittsburgh Carnegie Library to educate
himself that it awarded him an hon-
orary degree, the only one so bestowed,
and named a room at the library in his
honor.

tion because of code enforcement viola-
tions.
When the judge ordered her from the
courtroom, she hit a deputy twice on the
arm as he tried turning off her micro-
phone then kicked him in the shin. Two
deputies were required to pick her up
and out of the courtroom.
She was offered a referral to the
Pathways Mental Health Court, but
refused treatment and was sentenced to
38 days in jail.
In recent weeks, Benavides had been
victimized by passersby, Halleran said.
A group of people woke her up at 1:45

said. She also had some of her signs
stolen, he said.
“Hopefully, through the legal process
she will get some help,” he said.

Attacks in Iraq kill 56, raise fears of insurgents

By Barbara Surk
and Hamid Ahmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Bombers and gunmen
killed at least 56 Iraqis in more than two
dozen attacks across the country Wednesday,
mostly targeting security forces and rekin-
dling memories of the days when insurgents
ruled the streets.
The attacks made August the deadliest
month for Iraqi policemen and soldiers in
two years, and came a day after the U.S.
declared the number of U.S. troops had fall-
en to fewer than 50,000, their lowest level
since the war began in 2003.
Powerful blasts targeting security forces
struck where they are supposed to be the
safest, turning police stations into rubble and
bringing down concrete walls erected to pro-
tect them from insurgents.
“Where is the protection, where are the
security troops?” said Abu Mohammed, an
eyewitness to a car bombing near Baghdad’s
Adan Square that killed two passers-by.
“What is going on in the country?”
Iraq’s foreign minister said insurgents are
attempting to sow as much chaos as possible,
as lawmakers struggle to form a new govern-
ment and Americans withdraw troops.
“Here you have a government paralysis,
you have a political vacuum ... you have the
U.S. troop withdrawal,” Iraqi Foreign
Minister Hoshyar Zebari said. “And, in such
environment, these terrorist networks flour-
ish.”
But like most attacks here, they are met
with outrage on the streets and condemna-
tion from government officials. Authorities,
however, are virtually powerless in the face
of the insurgents’ threat.
At least 265 security personnel — Iraqi
military, police and police recruits, and
bodyguards — have been killed from June
through August, compared to 180 killed in
the previous five months, according to an
Associated Press count.
In August, nearly 5 Iraqi security person-
nel on average have been killed every day so
far.
These numbers are considered a minimum,
based on AP reporting. The actual number is
likely higher, as many killings go unreported REUTERS
or uncounted. A view of the site of a bomb attack in Kut,Iraq.

police Chief Don Mattei said in a letter to South San Francisco Police Chief Mike Currently, most cities handle their own red-

BILL
Continued from page 1
era are currently charged the same amount
whether they run a red light through an inter-
section or make a right turn on red without
making a complete stop.
Hill’s bill would make the penalty for the
illegal right turns the same as when a motorist
gets pulled over by police for not stopping at
a stop sign.
Assembly Bill 909 now awaits the signature
of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has yet
to indicate whether he approves of the bill.
The base fine for a right turn on a red light
violation would drop from $100 to $35,
changing the total ticket amount from about
$450 to $219, according to Hill’s office.
Locally, Hill’s bill is also opposed by the
San Mateo County Chiefs’ and Sheriff’s
Association.
“Put simply, Assembly Bill 909 minimizes
the seriousness of red-light running,” Belmont
Hill’s office. Mattei is also president of the
local chiefs’ association.
San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer
is also the president of the state’s Police
Chief’s Association and Hill formerly served
as a San Mateo councilman.
For Hill, the fine reduction is a matter of
fairness.
“The punishment should fit the crime,” Hill
said.
The bill is a triumph for motorists who have
had to dig deeper into their pockets since leg-
islation approved in 1997 — which increased
penalties for motorists driving straight
through or turning left at red-light intersec-
tions — inadvertently amended the vehicle
code to apply to right turn on red-light viola-
tions, according to Hill’s office.
That bill increased the total ticket amount
for rolling right turns on red lights — com-
monly known as “California stops” — from
$104 to $207. With additional fines and penal-
ties added since then to the $100 base fine,
red-light tickets now cost motorists $450 to
$500, according to Hill’s office.
Massoni said Hill’s bill minimizes the impor-
tance of making complete stops at red lights.
“Whether turning left, going straight or
turning right, it is still unsafe not to make a
complete stop at a red light,” Massoni said.
San Mateo Mayor John Lee is crafting a let-
ter to the governor asking him to veto the bill.
“It would be an absolute crime to install the
cameras just to raise money,” Lee said. “Red-
light cameras are important. We need the
cameras and they pay for themselves. The
higher fines and cameras make people behave
safer.”
Lee notes the effectiveness of red-light
cameras at Hillsdale Boulevard and Saratoga
Drive in San Mateo.
“The intersection is much safer now for
pedestrians,” Hill said.
Red-light cameras have faced scrutiny
across the country for a variety of reasons. In
San Mateo County, the civil grand jury urged
cities to adopt regional standards earlier this
year to implement red-light camera programs
and to evaluate the tickets handed out at a cen-
tral location.
light camera programs.
A bill authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian,
D-Palo Alto, called for statewide standards for
the installation and operation of red-light
cameras, but Senate Bill 1362 died in the
Assembly Appropriations Committee Aug.
13.
All of the traffic camera systems used by
police agencies in San Mateo County are pro-
vided by two private firms. Two cities,
Millbrae and South San Francisco, contract
with American Traffic Solutions and the rest
with Redflex Traffic Solutions.
Some cities on the Peninsula have scrapped
red-light cameras, such as Burlingame and
San Carlos, for actually costing the city more
than the devices raise in fines. Belmont, how-
ever, just installed the cameras at Ralston
Avenue and Old County Road, one of the
city’s busiest intersections.

Carter lands in North
Korea to bring home American
SEOUL, South Korea — North Koreans welcomed Jimmy
Carter back to Pyongyang with smiles, salutes and hearty
handshakes Wednesday as the former American president
arrived on a mission to bring home a Boston man jailed in the
communist country since January.
U.S. officials have billed Carter’s trip as a private humani-
tarian visit to try to negotiate the release of Aijalon Gomes,
sentenced to eight years of hard labor in a North Korean
prison for entering the country illegally from China.

Miners’motivation:Stay slim or stay in mine
By Bradley Brooks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COPIAPO, Chile — Put on a show.
Play cards. Sing. Get exercise. And what-
ever you do, don’t get too fat to squeeze
through the escape tunnel.
Chilean officials are offering lots of
advice to help 33 miners trapped under-
ground keep their health and sanity as they
wait to be rescued. One thing they’re not
sharing with the men is their estimate that
it could take four months to drill them out
of an emergency shelter nearly half a mile
below the surface.
“I hope that nobody commits the
imprudence of telling them something
like this. We have asked the families to be
careful in the letters they write,” Interior
Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said
Wednesday. “It’s going to be very hard.
We’re going to have to give them a great
deal of attention, care and psychological
support.”
The miners were trapped by an Aug. 5
collapse, and rescuers established contact
with them Sunday by drilling a 6-inch-
wide hole to the shelter. That hole and two
others are now lifelines, delivering sup-

faced by immigrants trying to get to
the U.S.
“It’s absolutely terrible and it
demands the condemnation of all of our
society,” said Alejandro Poire, the gov-
ernment’s security spokesman.
Authorities did not say why the gang
killed the migrants. Mexico’s drug car-
tels frequently kidnap migrants and
threaten to kill them unless they pay
fees for crossing their territory.
Sometimes, gangs contact relatives of
the migrants in the U.S. and demand
they pay a ransom.
