City ready to buy land for jail

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Redwood City leaders said they
wanted an alternative site for a new
county jail away from its recently
renovated downtown.
Now, the City Council is ready to
put its money where its mouth is,
buying up four properties on
Chemical Way which it hopes will
house the long-planned — and long
debated — correctional facility. If
the council agrees Monday to begin
the $13.85 million purchase, the
county will ultimately pay the tab.
The agreement also doesn’t commit
the land for use specifically for a
jail.
But both county and city officials
seem hopeful that is exactly what
will happen, providing a dedicated
plot for a jail that can ease over-
crowding and emphasize rehabilita-
tive programming while protecting
downtown Redwood City from a
facility opponents argued would
deter visitors and business.
Specifically, the City Council
Monday night is asked to authorize
City Manager Peter Ingram to enter
into purchase option agreements for
the sites at 20, 50, 70 and 80
Chemical Way. Ingram would post
$8,000 in non-refundable payments
and $192,000 in refundable
deposits. San Mateo County will
reimburse the city the $200,000
total prior to the sales closing. The
agreement also kickstarts the envi-
ronmental review process.
The Board of Supervisors must
then agree to a jail on the alternative
site and could do so as early as its
Oct. 19 meeting.

Proponents of Proposition 22, the
Nov. 2 ballot initiative that would
prohibit the state from borrowing
local tax revenue, argue it would

Opponents say the initiative will

If passed, the “Local Taxpayer,

reason, including severe state fiscal
needs.

President Andy
Kaulkin, whose label
Solomon Burke produced Burke’s
comeback record,
“Don’t Give Up On Me,” which won
him his first and only Grammy, said,
“Popular music today wouldn’t be

Kaulkin called Burke a precursor to
singers like Isaac Hayes and Barry
White.
“I feel like his music is where it all
came together, and when we think of
’60s soul music it all started with
Solomon Burke.”
Burke, a giant man with a powerful
soulful voice to match, appeared on
stage on a throne in later years partly
because of his regal persona and partly
because of health problems. He joined
Atlantic in 1960 and went on to record a
string of hits in a decade with the label.
Kaulkin said Burke “gracefully”

eclipsed by singers he influenced.

tration there but I don’t think it ruled

According to his website, Burke was
born March 21, 1940, “to the sounds of
horns and bass drums” at the United
Praying Band The House of God for All
People in West Philly.
“From day one, literally God and
gospel were the driving forces behind
the man and his music,” his website said.
He remained closely linked to the
church as a preacher. In 2000, he played
for then-Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
Burke was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and won a
Best Contemporary Blues Album
Grammy a year later for “Don’t Give Up
On Me.”
Those honors sparked a renewed inter-
est in the singer and he toured extensive-
ly around the world in recent years,
including touring with The Rolling
Stones.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Palo Alto — land of big trees and big ideas
I
n the area now dominated by venture
capitalists, private equity funds, law
firms, professional firms and offices that
offer financial services, only recently did the
scene near the San Francisquito Creek present
another entirely different picture.
In November 1769, Captain Gaspar de
Portola ordered his men to set up camp for the
night near some big trees. Tired and exhaust-
ed, the group of roughly 70 men looked
around, assessed the situation and began
unloading their camping equipment on the
oak-studded plain. It was the end of a four-
month trek from San Diego for this expedition
and they had failed to perform their duty
assigned to them by their superiors. They had
passed the bay they had been looking for,
Monterey Bay, and they had not found the San
Francisco River they were told existed around
here. Instead, they were camping the night
beside a deep gully that they, in their frustra-
tion, named the San Francisquito Creek
(“Little” San Francisco Creek).
After a few days rest for most and a short
scouting trip around the area for some, the
group returned to San Diego where they had
left on July 1, 1769, passing the bay of
Monterey where the capital of northern
California would be established. In the com-
ing years, a new and shorter route from
Monterey, across low mountains and into a
valley of coyotes (Gilroy), would be estab-
lished. The huge trees that Portola and his
men slept under and that could be seen for
miles in every direction, would become an
important landmark and beacon for many
LOCAL
years for all travelers up and down the penin-
sula. Eventually, the surrounding trees hid
their importance and a park along El Camino
Real and Alma Street was dedicated to reveal
its importance.
In an exploring trip with Captain Rivera in
1774, Father Francisco Palou noted in his
diary that this would be a great area for a mis-
sion. The military leaders wanted a place that
could be easier defend. Palou, however,
named the area “Palo Alto” because of the tall
trees. The steep creek was too deep to easily
traverse and a trail further to the east was
established (along Middlefield Road) that led
to a creek to the north that blocked the route
again. The Redwood Creek was forded after a
detour a couple of miles to the west. In time,
this route would be straightened out when a
bridge could be built.
The San Francisquito Creek became a natu-
ral boundary that divided the southern Santa
Clara church property from the Mission
Dolores land to the north. The hilly, rugged
wooded land a few miles to the west of El
Camino Real (by Interstate 280 and the
Stanford Linear Accelerator) was unmapped
when the church drew boundary lines follow-
ing the creeks assuming San Francisquito
Creek continued southwest. It didn’t. This
mistake was to cause much legal trouble later.
In the 1840s, the use of wood for building
caused a rush for land in Woodside and
Portola Valley and trails were blazed to haul
the wood to a port (Ravenswood) and a small
community along El Camino Real —
Mayfield. The San Francisquito Creek proved
inadequate for such a task, but it was used to
float timber to Ravenswood when there was
adequate water. This port was later abandoned
when a better port and harbor was discovered
where Redwood Creek to the north emptied
into the bay.
In 1839, 1,471 acres of land to the west of
El Camino Real named Rancho San
Francisquito (“Little San Francis”) was grant-
ed to Antonio Buelna. This rancho sat along
an old established Indian trail that he

improved for transporting grain and timber
from another rancho he had along the coast.
He then bought a piece of land on this trail
(Alpine Road) and built a bar at the corner of
Arastradero Road. This pleasure center
became over the years well known and suc-
cessful to the Stanford student crowd. The bar
is still there and still faithfully serves the pub-
lic in a beautiful, rural, rustic atmosphere that
everyone should visit at least once.
In the following years, the land became
very contested in the courts by the 20-plus
people who coveted it.
In 1841, 2,230 acres of land east of Rancho
San Francisquito was granted to Rafael Soto’s
widow, Maria Antonia Mesa. This was not a
large grant (Rancho San Rinconada del
Arroyo del San Francisquito) but it covered
much of the level land between El Camino
Real and the tidewater to the east and the land
that was to become Palo Alto.
In 1863, San Francisco financier George
Gordon acquired a parcel of Rancho San
Francisquito and built a dwelling on it. A

horse stock farm was started. In the 1880s,
Leland Stanford acquired the property,
remodeled the manor and developed a grape
processing business as well as a stock farm on
the property.
In 1891, Stanford began construction of
Stanford University.
In the 1860s, a railroad track was laid from
San Francisco (Yerba Buena) to San Jose. The
San Francisco and San Jose Railroad became
an important travel link on the peninsula and
helped define the development of the area.
The placement of the railroad along the
edge of the marshes and foothills along the
peninsula immediately defined a route that
attracted settlement and communities
between San Francisco and San Jose.

Giant inspiration leads to strikeouts for others

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was at a San Francisco Giants game in
2009 that Cole Spina got an idea.
Announcers discussed Strikeouts for the
Troops, a nonprofit founded by pitcher Barry
Zito which raises money for wounded troops.
Spina’s friend Jessie Bucher, who at the time
was 12, had recently moved to North
Carolina. Diagnosed with a rare brain disease,
Bucher needed a stem cell transplant. The
move and needed procedures were costly and
Spina wanted to help.
As a little league pitcher, the strikeouts idea
struck a chord and Spina go to work on
Strikeouts for Jessie. It was a simple concept,
Spina would solicit donations per strikeout
and donate the money to help his friend.
Spina began asking friends and family to
sponsor his strikeouts. During the 2009 sea-
son, Spina threw 53 strikeouts with the San
Carlos AAA Muckdogs on their way to win
the city championship. A friend’s dad helped
A weekly look at the people

by keeping track of the count.
Doing so meant Spina raised $1,300 toward
his friend’s predicament. He was one of many
people who organized fundraisers to help. In
total, those who held fundraisers raised
$23,000. Money raised meant Bucher’s broth-
er could visit her. He had stayed behind in
California for school.
Given that the idea was inspired by the San
Francisco Giants, the Spinas contacted the

Giants letting the organization know of its
inspiration to Spina, now 11, and how it
helped raise money for another fan. They
offered to host the friends at a game.
It took some time for the little friends to
take the Giants up on their offer. Bucher got
the transplant in January. They waited until
she was in better health to attend, which hap-
pened in late August.
“We got to go to the Giants game, and
Jessie loves the Giants,” said Spina. “The best
part was celebrating with Jessie and my fami-
ly. And Jessie was smiling and cheerful
because the Giants won.”
Bucher has since been able to return to
California. She is getting treatment in San
Francisco. Spina is considering doing another
fundraiser, this time for Second Harvest food
bank. He was considering a new fundraiser
but wasn’t opposed to sticking with strikeouts.
“We’re really proud of him, said his mom
Sharon Spina. “We just want him to keep
doing small things to help make a big differ-
ence by helping people.”

Report says no fines on Ethnic spat erupts in changing district

PG&E over 6-year period
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A review
of public records is showing that the
agency responsible for regulating
public utilities has taken a mostly
hands-off approach to violations by
Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
The San Francisco Chronicle
reports that even though PG&E had
more pipeline infractions than the
rest of the state’s major pipelines
combined over a six-year period, the
California Public Utilities
Commission did not levy a single
fine on the utility during that period.
In an article in its Sunday edition,
the newspaper reports that its review
of CPUC records found that PG&E
accounted for almost 60 percent of
the probably violations of federal
safety laws found by regulators
between 2004 and 2009.
The report comes after word that
the CPUC is forming a panel to con-
duct a review of the PG&E pipeline
blast in San Bruno last month that
killed eight people.

SANTA ANA — The changing
face of one of Southern California’s
wealthiest counties helped
Democrat Loretta Sanchez win an
upset election to Congress 14 years
ago, as Latinos arrived as a political
force. Now, a rising tide of
Vietnamese political clout has her
fighting to hang onto her seat.
To the surprise of many voters in
California’s gritty, urban 47th
District — which shares little with
the affluent beachfront communities
that give Orange County its fame —
Sanchez recently injected the thorny
issue of race into the campaign.
Speaking on Spanish-language net-
work Univision, she said “the
Vietnamese and Republicans” were
trying “to take this seat from us...
and give it to this Van Tran who is
very anti-immigrant and very anti-
Hispanic” — words she later con-
ceded were poorly chosen.
Vietnamese-American state
Assemblyman Van Tran, Sanchez’s
first serious challenger, said he was
offended by the remarks and called
them a “racial rampage” against
Vietnamese-Americans, who came
to Southern California as refugees
35 years ago and built a bustling
commercial hub in the heart of
Orange County.
“You’re seeing two emerging
communities ... seeing themselves
not as potential allies in these kinds
of head-to-head races but as foes in
a zero sum game and that becomes
dangerous,” said James Lai, a polit-
ical science professor at Santa Clara
University.
There is no other district with can-
didates hailing from two sizable eth-
nic communities in such a potential-
ly close race, according to
Democrat and Republican
Congressional Campaign commit-
tees. For many years, Orange
County was seen as a wealthy white
suburb of Los Angeles. But the
county is now far more diverse.

WASHINGTON — To hear top
strategists from both parties tell it,
Democratic candidates are clawing
their way back from an electoral
abyss, making small but measurable
gains that might enable them to keep
their congressional majorities this fall.
The question is, do these political
pros really believe it? Or are both par-
ties pushing a Democrats-are-improv-
ing narrative to motivate their core
voters who, oddly enough, respond
positively to the same message?
Whether it’s cynicism or reality,

expectations game aimed at voters
who might stay home if they think
their cause is either hopeless or
assured of victory. These leaders say

prospects are slightly less dire for
Democrats, even though the party
remains almost certain to suffer big
losses in House, Senate and guberna-
torial races on Nov. 2.
“Democrats have momentum,” said
a recent three-page memo from
Jennifer Crider, a top aide at the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. She cited a pair of polls
suggesting that voters, who preferred
Republican candidates a short time
ago, now are about evenly split on
which party should run Congress.
Crider’s analysis omitted several
polls that showed a clear GOP
advantage on the “generic ballot”
question. But a new Washington
Post-ABC News poll found that
Democrats have halved the
Republicans’ early September edge
on that question.

Gang suspects arraigned in anti-gay attack
THE ASSOCITED PRESS
NEW YORK — Eight gang suspects
arrested in the torture of two teenage
boys and a man in an anti-gay attack
were arraigned Sunday on hate crime
charges, standing in a courtroom with
their heads down and their hands cuffed
behind them as their relatives wept.
At the hearing, Assistant District
Attorney Theresa Gottlieb said that dur-
ing the Oct. 3 attack each victim was
asked before being beaten, “Is it true
that you’re a fag?”
The charges against the defendants
include robbery, assault, sexual abuse
and unlawful imprisonment as hate
crimes. The defendants didn’t enter
pleas, and police were looking for a
ninth suspect, who had been expected to
turn himself in but didn’t show up.
The nine members of the Latin King
Goonies gang had heard a rumor one of
their teenage recruits was gay and then
found the teen, stripped him, beat him
and sodomized him with a plunger han-
dle until he confessed to having had sex
with a man, police say. The gang mem-
bers then found a second teen they sus-
pected was gay and tortured him and the
man, police say.
The gang members found the man by
inviting him to a house, telling him they
were having a party, police say. When
he arrived, they burned, beat and tor-
tured him for hours and sodomized him
with a miniature baseball bat, police
say.
The suspects arraigned Sunday were
identified as Ildefonzo Mendez, 23;
Elmer Confresi, 23; David Rivera, 21;
Steven Caraballo, Denis Peitars, Nelson
Falu and Bryan Almonte, all 17; and
Brian Cepeda, 16.
Bronx Criminal Court Judge Harold
Adler set bail for Peitars and Caraballo
at $100,000 bond or $50,000 cash; the
other six were held without bail.

Google tests cars that can steer without drivers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Google Inc. is road-testing cars that
steer, stop and start without a human driv-
er, the company says.
The goal is to “help prevent traffic
accidents, free up people’s time and
reduce carbon emissions” through ride
sharing and “the new ’highway trains
of tomorrow,”’ project leader
Sebastian Thrun wrote Saturday on
Google’s corporate blog.
The cars are never unmanned, Thrun
wrote. He said a backup driver is always
behind the wheel to monitor the software.
It’s not the first signal that Google
wants to change how people get from
place to place. In a speech Sept. 29 at the
TechCrunch “Disrupt” conference,
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said “your car
should drive itself. It just makes sense.”
“It’s a bug that cars were invented
before computers,” Schmidt said.
The cars have traveled a total of
140,000 miles on major California roads
without much human intervention,
according to Google’s corporate blog.
The Mountain View-based technology
giant has sent seven test cars a total of
1,000 miles without a human touching
the controls at all, the New York Times
reported. The newspaper published a
report on the cars earlier Sunday.

Roadside bombs kill 7,including 2 NATO troops

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — Roadside bombs
killed seven people including two NATO
troops in war-torn Afghanistan Sunday, as a
suicide bomber blew up his vehicle near a mil-
itary convoy, killing a child and wounding two
other people.
The Afghan government, meanwhile,
named former President Burhanuddin
Rabbani as the chief of a new peace council
tasked with talking to insurgent groups.
Daily violence continues unabated through-
out much of Afghanistan. The focus of the
U.S.-led war — which entered its 10th year
last week — has been on the south, but coali-
tion troops are increasingly fighting resilient
militants in the east, west and north.
Five members of a family died in a roadside
bombing in eastern Paktia province.

Let’s remember James Madison
A
s we prepare our choices
for election day, Nov. 2,
let’s heed the advice of
James Madison. Our fourth presi-
dent, that is. Madison was one of
the more important founding
fathers and often called the “Father
of our Constitution.” He wrote over
a third of the Federalist Papers,
together with Alexander Hamilton
and John Jay. But unlike Hamilton
and Jay, Madison was a
Jeffersonian Republican and a
defender of states’ rights.
Hamilton, Jay and George
Washington, on the other hand,
were fans of a strong central execu-
tive.
Madison wanted to protect indi-
vidual rights from the tyranny of
the majority, but also had a differ-
ent view when it came to a tyranny
of the minority getting in the way
of governing. Here’s what he said
in the Federalist Papers:
“As connected with the objection
against the number of representa-
tives, may properly be here
noticed, that which has been sug-
gested against the number made
competent for legislative business.
It has been said that more than a
majority ought to have been
required for a quorum; and in par-
ticular cases, if not in all, more
than a majority of a quorum for a
decision. That some advantages
might have resulted from such a
precaution, cannot be denied. It
might have been an additional
shield to some particular interests,
and another obstacle generally to
hasty and partial measures. But
these considerations are out-
weighed by the inconveniences in
the opposite scale. In all cases
where justice or the general good
might require new laws to be
Education Nation?
“I
t appears ... that more
children are angry,
unmotivated, bored,
without purpose and direction than
ever before in world history.” —
Karr-Morse and Wiley, “Ghosts
from the Nursery.”
There is great concern in this
country about how so many of our
schools are not measuring up.
During NBC’s “Education Nation
Week,” we heard a lot about
schools and teachers that need to
be improved and how some schools
are trying to change things, but one
big aspect of the situation seems to
be ignored. That is the influence of
our culture on our families and
children (Other cultures are
involved too, of course, but that’s
another column).
As far as problems with the
schools are concerned, I have a list
of my own. First, because of “No
Child Left Behind” and “Race to
the Top,” the obsession with trying
to stuff academics down the throats
of children who are not ready.
Along with this goes the focus on
academics and testing at the
expense of other important sub-
jects. Add to that the apparent
inability of the education hierarchy
to face the fact that mental abilities
vary greatly among students and
the failure to accommodate and
educate appropriately those chil-
dren who are not college material.
Next, there is the unwillingness
and inability to adequately deal
with trouble makers. And, of
course, the difficulties of getting
rid of incompetent teachers. And
then there’s how our culture is
involved.
In general, our culture (as per-

passed, or active measures to be
pursued, the fundamental principle
of free government would be
reversed. It would be no longer the
majority that would rule: the power
would be transferred to the minori-
ty. Were the defensive privilege
limited to particular cases, an inter-
ested minority might take advan-
tage of it to screen themselves from
equitable sacrifices to the general
weal,… or, in particular emergen-
cies, to extort unreasonable indul-
gences.”
***
That being said, how would
Madison vote on propositions 25
and 26? He would, according to the
Federalist, vote yes on 25 and no
on 26. Here’s why.
Proposition 25 would change the
legislative vote requirement to pass
a budget from a two-thirds vote of
each house to a simple majority.
The two-thirds requirement has led
to late budgets in 25 of the past 30
years and fiscally irresponsible
compromises in all. This year’s
budget is three months late, with
creative accounting that is not sus-
tainable. In California, there is no
question that a minority of legisla-
tors has taken advantage of the
two-thirds requirement “to screen
themselves from equitable sacri-
fices to the general weal (welfare)”
and in budget stalemates “to extort
unreasonable indulgences.” As fis-
cal conservatives, both Madison
and Hamilton would also approve

sonified in the media) glorifies the
narcissistic; disdains anything
intellectual, gets excited about the
most demented celebrities; con-
stantly emphasizes that it’s what
you have, not who you are that
counts; encourages parents to be
away from even their very small
children for most of the day; is
afraid to deal effectively with the
flood of illegal immigrants; does
not provide health care for every-
one; elects politicians who would
rather cut school funding than
allow tax cuts for the wealthy to
expire. All contribute greatly to the
problems of educating our children.
As Jim Taylor, Ph.D, wrote in
“Your Children Are Under Attack,”
“The government long ago gave in
to big business, special interests
and the bottom line. In doing so, it
rejected the very values on which
our country was founded and has
shown only politically expedient
concern for our children.”
Teachers these days report that
there is, among more children than
ever (especially boys), a lack of
incentive, no drive to succeed or
even try. Could this relate to the
constant connection to and stimula-
tion from electronic gadgets and
the influence of the media? After
all, you don’t get that constant
adrenaline rush at school. School is
boring! “Parents worry that com-
puter games — with their fast-
paced, finely calibrated system of
OPINION
Proposition 25. If a budget bill is
not passed by June 15, members of
the Legislature would not receive
their salary, travel expenses or liv-
ing expenses from June 15 until the
day the budget bill is passed.
As for Proposition 26, it expands
the definition of a tax and a tax
increase so that more revenue-gen-
erating proposals would require
two-thirds vote approval at the
local and state levels. It would
increase the power of the minority
at the expense of the majority of
voters. Madison would probably
agree with opponents who say
changing the rules to allow repeal
of tax laws already passed in 2010
would create havoc in an already
unstable budgetary environment.
Proposition 26 would make it much
harder to enact fees on large com-
panies that cause harm to the envi-
ronment such as the gulf oil spill,
leaving taxpayers to pay for the
cleanup.

our sons in ways we only dimly
understand.” — Peg Tyre, “The
Trouble with Boys.”
Could it be that fast-food diets
cause torpor, disconnect and dull-
ness? How many kids get the
amount of sleep that’s so very
important for success in school?
How many are left to fend for
themselves so much that they lack
parental guidance and good role
models? As Leonard Sax wrote in “
Boys Adrift,” “Teenage boys are
looking for models of mature
adulthood, but we no longer make
any collective effort to provide
such models.”
The role models that boys view
in the media mostly consist of men
in sitcoms and other shows who are
crass, crude, narcissistic and
extremely immature; egocentric
overpaid athletes, many who are
terrible role models; men in
movies, television dramas, video
games, etc. who are obsessed with
sex, violence and power. Girls are
not only bombarded with such
pathetic images of males, but also
with women and girls who dress
and behave like sex objects, are
obsessed with appearance and are
extremely materialistic. Add narcis-
sistic actresses who carry on like
spoiled brats — getting most media
attention when they are breaking
the law or leaving jail or rehab.

It has been said that more than a
majority ought to have been
required for a quorum; and in par-
ticular cases, if not in all, more
than a majority of a quorum for a
decision. That some advantages
might have resulted from such a
precaution, cannot be denied. It
might have been an additional
shield to some particular interests,
and another obstacle generally to
hasty and partial measures. But
these considerations are out-

Education Nation?
“I
t appears ... that more
children are angry,
unmotivated, bored,
without purpose and direction than
ever before in world history.” —
Karr-Morse and Wiley, “Ghosts
from the Nursery.”
There is great concern in this
country about how so many of our
schools are not measuring up.
During NBC’s “Education Nation
Week,” we heard a lot about
schools and teachers that need to
be improved and how some schools
are trying to change things, but one
big aspect of the situation seems to
be ignored. That is the influence of
our culture on our families and
children (Other cultures are
involved too, of course, but that’s
another column).
As far as problems with the
schools are concerned, I have a list
of my own. First, because of “No
Child Left Behind” and “Race to
the Top,” the obsession with trying
to stuff academics down the throats
of children who are not ready.
Along with this goes the focus on
academics and testing at the
expense of other important sub-
jects. Add to that the apparent
inability of the education hierarchy
to face the fact that mental abilities
vary greatly among students and
the failure to accommodate and
educate appropriately those chil-
dren who are not college material.
Next, there is the unwillingness
and inability to adequately deal
with trouble makers. And, of
course, the difficulties of getting
rid of incompetent teachers. And
then there’s how our culture is
involved.
In general, our culture (as per-
Madison wanted to protect individual rights from

view when it came to a tyranny of the minority get-
ting in the way of governing.
passed, or active measures to be
pursued, the fundamental principle
of free government would be
reversed. It would be no longer the
majority that would rule: the power
would be transferred to the minori-
ty. Were the defensive privilege
limited to particular cases, an inter-
ested minority might take advan-
tage of it to screen themselves from
equitable sacrifices to the general
weal,… or, in particular emergen-
cies, to extort unreasonable indul-
gences.”
***
That being said, how would
Madison vote on propositions 25
and 26? He would, according to the
Federalist, vote yes on 25 and no
on 26. Here’s why.
Proposition 25 would change the
legislative vote requirement to pass
a budget from a two-thirds vote of
each house to a simple majority.
The two-thirds requirement has led
to late budgets in 25 of the past 30
years and fiscally irresponsible
compromises in all. This year’s
budget is three months late, with
creative accounting that is not sus-
tainable. In California, there is no
question that a minority of legisla-
tors has taken advantage of the
two-thirds requirement “to screen
themselves from equitable sacri-
fices to the general weal (welfare)”
and in budget stalemates “to extort
unreasonable indulgences.” As fis-
cal conservatives, both Madison
and Hamilton would also approve

sonified in the media) glorifies the
narcissistic; disdains anything
intellectual, gets excited about the
most demented celebrities; con-
stantly emphasizes that it’s what
you have, not who you are that
counts; encourages parents to be
away from even their very small
children for most of the day; is
afraid to deal effectively with the
flood of illegal immigrants; does
not provide health care for every-
one; elects politicians who would
rather cut school funding than
allow tax cuts for the wealthy to
expire. All contribute greatly to the
problems of educating our children.
As Jim Taylor, Ph.D, wrote in
“Your Children Are Under Attack,”
“The government long ago gave in
to big business, special interests
and the bottom line. In doing so, it
rejected the very values on which
our country was founded and has
shown only politically expedient
concern for our children.”
Teachers these days report that
there is, among more children than
ever (especially boys), a lack of
incentive, no drive to succeed or
even try. Could this relate to the
constant connection to and stimula-
tion from electronic gadgets and
the influence of the media? After
all, you don’t get that constant
adrenaline rush at school. School is
boring! “Parents worry that com-
puter games — with their fast-

OPINION
Proposition 25. If a budget bill is
not passed by June 15, members of
the Legislature would not receive
their salary, travel expenses or liv-
ing expenses from June 15 until the
day the budget bill is passed.
As for Proposition 26, it expands
the definition of a tax and a tax
increase so that more revenue-gen-
erating proposals would require
two-thirds vote approval at the
local and state levels. It would
increase the power of the minority
at the expense of the majority of
voters. Madison would probably
agree with opponents who say
changing the rules to allow repeal
of tax laws already passed in 2010
would create havoc in an already
unstable budgetary environment.
Proposition 26 would make it much
harder to enact fees on large com-
panies that cause harm to the envi-
ronment such as the gulf oil spill,
leaving taxpayers to pay for the
cleanup.

Trouble with Boys.”
Could it be that fast-food diets
cause torpor, disconnect and dull-
ness? How many kids get the
amount of sleep that’s so very
important for success in school?
How many are left to fend for
themselves so much that they lack
parental guidance and good role
models? As Leonard Sax wrote in “
Boys Adrift,” “Teenage boys are
looking for models of mature
adulthood, but we no longer make
any collective effort to provide
such models.”
The role models that boys view
in the media mostly consist of men
in sitcoms and other shows who are
crass, crude, narcissistic and
extremely immature; egocentric
overpaid athletes, many who are
terrible role models; men in
movies, television dramas, video
games, etc. who are obsessed with
sex, violence and power. Girls are
not only bombarded with such
pathetic images of males, but also
with women and girls who dress
and behave like sex objects, are
obsessed with appearance and are
extremely materialistic. Add narcis-
sistic actresses who carry on like
spoiled brats — getting most media
attention when they are breaking
the law or leaving jail or rehab.

Survey: Gas prices jump 8 cents in 2-week span
CAMARILLO — A new survey finds the average price of
regular gasoline in the United States has jumped 8.23 cents
in the past two weeks.
The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday says

lon of mid-grade was $2.91, and premium was at $3.02.
Tucson, Ariz., had the lowest average price among cities
surveyed at $2.51 a gallon for regular. San Francisco was
highest among surveyed cities at $3.08.
Diesel was at $3.09, up nearly ten cents.

Scandal rocks housing market
By Michelle Conlin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Karl Case, the co-cre-
ator of a widely watched housing market
index, was upbeat three weeks ago.
Mulling the economy while at a meeting
at a resort near the Berkshires, Case
thought the makings of a recovery were
finally falling into place.
“I’m a 60-40 optimist,” he said at the
time.
Today, Case’s mood is far more sub-
dued. In scarcely two weeks, he and
other housing analysts have watched as
the once-staid world of back-office bank
procedures has spawned a scandal that
threatens to further unhinge the housing
market.

No Social Security COLA expected for 2011
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As if voters don’t
have enough to be angry about this elec-
tion year, the government is expected to
announce this week that more than 58
million Social Security recipients will
go through another year without an
increase in their monthly benefits.
It would mark only the second year
without an increase since automatic
adjustments for inflation were adopted
in 1975. The first year was this year.

Private spaceship makes 1st solo glide flight
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOJAVE — Virgin Galactic’s space
tourism rocket SpaceShipTwo achieved
its first solo glide flight Sunday, marking
another step in the company’s eventual
plans to fly paying passengers.
SpaceShipTwo was carried aloft by its
mothership to an altitude of 45,000 feet
and released over the Mojave Desert.
After the separation, SpaceShipTwo,

JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America
read like a corporate thriller: forged doc-
uments, faked Social Security numbers,
phantom titles, disappearing paper trails,
“robo-signers” and mortgages sliced and
diced so many times that nobody really
knows who owns them.
On Friday, PNC and mortgage ser-
vicer Litton Loan Servicing joined those
three financial institutions in suspending
some foreclosures while they review
how documents were handled. Bank of
America, which had already announced
a halt for 23 states, expanded the sus-
pension to cover the whole nation. If
other banks follow suit, it raises the
specter of a national foreclosure morato-
rium.
In all, the banks will have to review
pening two weeks before an election,”
said Andrew Biggs, a former deputy
commissioner at the Social Security
Administration and now a resident
scholar at the American Enterprise
Institute.
“It’s not the congressional Democrats’
fault, but that’s the way politics works,”
Biggs said. “A lot of people will feel
hostile about it.”
The cost-of-living adjustments, or
COLAs, are automatically set each year
by an inflation measure that was adopted
by Congress back in the 1970s. Based on
inflation so far this year, the trustees who
manned by two pilots, flew freely for 11
minutes before landing at an airport run-
way followed by the mothership.
The entire test flight lasted about 25
minutes. “It flew beautifully,” said Virgin

Whitesides. The six-passenger

testing before it can carry tourists to

of mortgages. On top of that, class action
lawyers and state attorneys general have
filed lawsuits and called for foreclosure
moratoriums.
In the near term, the freezes could
actually benefit both homeowners and
the housing market. Homeowners would
have time to live rent-free and chip away
at their debt. Prices might stabilize
because so many homes are penned up.
But the long-term implications are
grave. Only a month ago, housing
watcher Mark Zandi, chief economist at
Moody’s Analytics, predicted that a
housing recovery would be under way
by the third quarter of next year. Now he
believes the foreclosure scandal could
prolong the housing depression for at
least another few years.

will be no COLA for 2011.
The projection will be made official on
Friday, when the Bureau of Labor
Statistics releases inflation estimates for
September. The timing couldn’t be
worse for Democrats as they approach
an election in which they are in danger
of losing their House majority, and pos-
sibly their Senate majority as well.
This past Friday, the same bureau
delivered another painful blow to
Democrats: The U.S. lost 95,000 jobs in
September and unemployment remained
stubbornly stuck at 9.6 percent.
Until now, SpaceShipTwo has flown
attached to the wing of its special jet-
powered mothership dubbed
WhiteKnightTwo. Sunday was the first
time the spaceship flew on its own.
The “flight marks another key mile-
stone towards opening the space frontier
for private individuals, researchers, and
explorers,” John Gedmark, executive
director of the Commercial Spaceflight
Federation, said in a statement.

CSM blanks Los Medanos, 45-0

The state’s highest scoring col-

non-conference football campaign
with a 45-0 blanking of visiting Los
Medanos College Saturday. The
Bulldogs will open NorCal
Conference play Saturday evening
at 7 o’clock at Santa Rosa JC (3-2).
San Mateo, ranked second
among the USA’s 140 two-year col-
lege teams, got the only score it
needed in the first quarter when a 1-
yard run by San Mateo High grad
Val Liu finished a 49-yard drive.
That began with Ronald Fields’
interception of Los Medanos QB
Juan Corral.
The state’s top rushing offense
rolled for 349 yards (although a sea-
son low) on 62 carries, led by
Vaughn Smith (10 for 74 yards) and
Seta Pohahau (10 for 58, including
TD runs of 21 and 3 yards).
Pohahau, a freshman out of
Aragon High, also had three pass
receptions for 23 yards.
CSM had 596 yards of total
offense and leads the state in that
category with a 573.4 season aver-
age.
San Mateo also tops the state in
total all-purpose yards, right at the

ATLANTA — Brooks Conrad bobbled a

grounder. Then he dropped a popup. Finally, a
hard shot skidded under his glove in the ninth
inning, his third error of the game allowing
the San Francisco Giants to rally for a 3-2 vic-
tory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
The Braves were within one out of taking
control of the NL division series, but a 30-
year-old journeyman infielder who wouldn’t
have been playing if not for season-ending
injuries to Chipper Jones and Martin Prado
simply couldn’t catch the ball.
Buster Posey’s grounder went right under
Conrad’s glove, his worst miscue yet in a per-
formance that might speed up the retirement
of Braves manager Bobby Cox.
Freddy Sanchez raced around with the go-
ahead run, and Brian Wilson shut down the
Braves in the ninth to give the Giants a 2-1
lead in the best-of-five series.
San Francisco can close it out Monday
night. For Conrad, the memories of this game

an apparent tongue-lashing from coach Mike
Singletary before leading two fourth-quarter
TD drives.
After throwing TD passes to Vernon Davis
and Frank Gore, Smith got the 49ers past
midfield again in the final minute, but he was
hit by Trevor Laws while making a throw.
Lindley intercepted the wobbling pass with
28 seconds to play, and the 49ers dropped to
their worst start in 31 years.
Kolb made his fourth career start in place of
Vick, who injured his ribs in last week’s loss
to Washington. Kolb was the Eagles’ starting
quarterback out of training camp, but sat out
with a concussion after the opener while Vick
was chosen the NFC’s offensive player of the
month for September.
The 49ers sacked Kolb four times, but he
capably managed the offense during a 21-for-
31 performance, hitting tight end Brent Celek
for an early score. Kolb also showed off some
surprisingly fleet feet with a 19-yard run on a
third-and-18 play in the third quarter, dodging
between tacklers and ball-faking with a slick-
ness that recalled Vick at his elusive best.
McCoy made a 29-yard scoring run shortly
before halftime for the Eagles, who stayed
even with Washington and the New York
Giants in the NFC East.
While the Eagles pulled together behind
Kolb, San Francisco threatened to come apart
entirely — but the Niners’ outstanding fourth
quarter should provide hope heading into next
week’s Battle of the Bay with Oakland. The
49ers still fell three games behind Arizona in
the NFC West race, however.
After David Akers missed a 53-yard field
goal on the first snap of the fourth quarter, the
49ers drove past midfield before Smith fum-
bled while running backward under pressure
from Brandon Graham. Mikell picked up the
ball and made an untouched run to the end
zone for the first defensive touchdown of his

eight-year career.
When Smith came out to run the 49ers’
offense on the next possession, the crowd hit
him with perhaps the loudest boos of his
tumultuous six seasons in San Francisco.
After three incomplete passes, the chants of
“We want Carr!” — for backup David Carr —
echoed throughout the stadium.
Smith and Singletary then were seen in an
animated exchange on the sideline, but Smith
went back on the field with the San Francisco
offense.
Smith immediately led a 69-yard scoring
drive prominently featuring Davis, who
caught a 36-yard pass and a pinpoint 7-yard
TD throw with 7:35 to play, trimming the
Eagles’ lead to seven points.
Kolb then led a drive capped by Akers’ 45-
yard field goal with 4:35 left, but Ted Ginn
Jr.’s 61-yard kickoff return set up Smith’s
swing pass to Frank Gore for a 1-yard TD
with 2:02 left.

quarter with their final drive.
The Chargers got off to a disastrous start,

Longoria leads Rays past Rangers

By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Evan
Longoria is still limping. Now he’s
also hitting, and the Tampa Bay Rays
are headed home, one victory from
an improbable comeback.
Longoria snapped out of his post-
season slump with a homer and two
doubles, Carlos Pena scored twice
with a pair of extra-base hits of his
own and Tampa Bay escaped elimi-
nation again with a 5-2 victory
Sunday over the Texas Rangers to
force a deciding Game 5 in the AL
division series.
“We’ve really battled to get back to
even,” Longoria said. “And I think we
have a lot of confidence going home,
and being able to finish the series in
our home ballpark.”
To do that they’ll have to beat Cliff
Lee who matched a postseason best
with 10 strikeouts in a 5-1 series-
opening victory. The Rays lost the
two games at Tropicana Field before
winning twice in Texas to push a
division series to a fifth game for the
first time since the Los Angeles
Angels beat the New York Yankees in
2005.
“I still want to
believe there is a
home-field
advantage and
hopefully that’s
going to show
up,” manager Joe
Maddon said.
“The extra game
Evan Longoria at home, I have
been talking
about it all along.”
If the Rays win they will join the
2001 Yankees as the only teams to
lose the first two games at home and
still win a five-game series.
The series winner hosts Game 1 of
the AL championship series Friday
night against Yankees. New York
swept Minnesota in three games,
clinching the other division series
with a 6-1 win Saturday night.
Texas is still the only current major
league franchise that has never won a
postseason series, and still has not
won a playoff game in front of its
home fans (0-6).
“It’s down to one game, we’ve got
Cliff going and certainly feel good
about that,” Rangers manager Ron
Washington said. “We have proved
that we can win there.”
Tampa Bay sends 19-game winner
David Price to the mound Tuesday
night in a rematch of the Game 1
starters.
“I like our chances with Dave on
the mound again,” Longoria said.
The Rays’ resurgent offense helps,
too.
Longoria, still limited by a left
quad strain that forced him to miss
the last 10 games of the regular sea-
son, was in an 0-for-12 slide before
he and Pena had consecutive doubles
starting the fourth against Tommy
Hunter. Longoria added a two-run
homer in the fifth for a 5-0 lead.
“I kind of felt like Kirk Gibson
going around the bases,” he said.
“There are times when I have to try to
push it. ... I know I hit the ball out of
the ballpark, I’m not really going to
run as fast as I can around the bases.”
After hitting only .125 (8 for 64)
with one run in the first two games,
and going 16 innings without scoring
in one stretch, the Rays were five outs
from elimination before their bats
finally came alive late in Game 3.
And the positive trend carried over
into Sunday, when they had 12 hits.
Tampa Bay has already gone from
losing at least two in a row to win-
ning at least three straight seven
times this season, The Rays even
pulled off that trick as part of a piv-
otal series against the Yankees just a
few weeks ago.
Longoria’s injury is obviously still
bothering him when he runs the bases
and on some plays at third base.
“He is under strict managerial
orders to not run hard, although he
can’t anyway,” Maddon said. “The
ball’s in the gap — listen, the walking
double, I’ll take it every time. ... And,
of course, the home run over the wall
is a nice play.”
Longoria got to jog around the
bases after his first homer this post-
season. He set a major league rookie
record with six two years ago when
the Rays won the AL pennant and
went to the World Series.
Pena put Tampa Bay ahead to stay
after he tripled off the base of the wall
in left-center in the second. He scored
when Matt Joyce hit a high popup in
shallow right that dropped near
backpedaling second baseman Ian
Kinsler for an error.
Pena’s .196 batting average in the
regular season was the lowest among
major league qualifiers, and his
future in Tampa Bay is uncertain
because he is a potential free agent.
For now, Pena is hitting and making
sure he and the Rays keep playing.
“I think all of us appreciate where
we’re at,” Pena said. “It was extreme-
ly important for this team to turn the
page.”
In the final two innings of Game 3,
Pena had an RBI single and a home
run as the Rays wiped out a 2-1
deficit on way to a 6-3 victory.
Add in his first two at-bats Sunday
and Pena hit for the cycle over a span
of four at-bats.
Hunter struck out seven but
allowed four extra-base hits in his
four innings. He allowed three dou-
bles while striking out the side in the
fourth.
Rookie right-hander Wade Davis
pitched into the sixth for the Rays,
getting out of a base-loaded jam in
the fifth when he struck out Vladimir
Guerrero.
Rafael Soriano worked a perfect
ninth for the save.
When Davis walked Josh Hamilton
to load the bases with two outs in the
fifth — with two relievers warming
up — Maddon and pitching coach
Jim Hickey opted to leave the right-
hander in the game.

was removed from the roster
before the game with a pulled mus-
cle on his left side.
Rookie reliever Craig Kimbrel
was within one out of a save before
tied it with a run-scoring single off
Mike Dunn. Then, Posey hit a
grounder to just the right man.
It skidded right through Conrad
and into center field.
The wild finish overshadowed
Jonathan Sanchez’s brilliant per-
formance — he didn’t allow a hit
until the sixth — and Hinske’s dra-
matic homer, which carried the
Braves to within one strike of hav-
at Turner Field.
Conrad’s blunders cost them.
He was one of the last guys to
make the Braves roster out of
spring training and spent his first
full year in the big leagues. Conrad
was primarily a backup, though he
did provide one of the season’s
most dramatic moments with a
pinch-hit grand slam that capped a
seven-run ninth inning and a 10-9
Then Jones hurt his knee, and an
injury finished off Prado for the
season, too. Down the stretch, the
Braves were forced to go with
Conrad at third base.
His defense was so shaky that
Cox swapped him with Omar
Infante before the crucial last
game of the regular season with
the Braves trying to wrap up the
wild card, moving Conrad to sec-
making accurate throws from
third.
His arm wasn’t the problem in
Game 3.
Now, the Braves will need to win
the final two games to extend
Cox’s career to at least the NL
championship series. One of base-
ball’s winningest managers is retir-
ing at the end of a season that is
one loss from being over.

Chiefs take first loss;Titans beat Cowboys

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Hill scored the game’s only
touchdown on an 11-yard run with 4:02 to go and the
Indianapolis Colts handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first
loss of the season 19-9 on Sunday, leaving the NFL without any
unbeaten teams.
It’s the first time since 1970 that no team has reached 4-0.
The Colts (3-2) won in atypical fashion. For the first time this
season, Peyton Manning failed to top 300 yards or throw for a
touchdown. He finished 26-of-44 for 244 yards with one inter-
ception and couldn’t get the Colts into the end zone until Hart’s
clinching score.
Hill replaced Joseph Addai midway through the third quarter
with what appeared to be a right shoulder injury. He did not
return.
Jamaal Charles carried 16 times for 87 yards, and Matt
Cassel was 16-of-29 for 156 yards for Kansas City (3-1) Ryan
Succop kicked three field goals.
with two interceptions.
Ravens 31, Broncos 17
BALTIMORE — Ray Rice ran for 133 yards and two touch-
downs, and Baltimore frustrated Denver quarterback Kyle
Orton.
Baltimore (4-1) jumped to a 17-0 lead and coasted to its third
straight win, the first this season by double digits. The Ravens
moved past idle Pittsburgh into sole possession of first place in
the AFC North.
The Broncos (2-3) fell to 0-5 against the Ravens in
Baltimore. In those games, Denver has been outscored 142-56,
including 60-24 over the last two years.
Orton completed his fourth straight 300-yard passing game
with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd with 35 sec-
onds left. It was of little consolation to the Broncos, who hurt
themselves by losing a fumble and committing 10 penalties for
90 yards.
After pressuring Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme,
Biermann leaped to deflect the pass and then made a diving
headfirst catch like a seasoned wide receiver. Knowing he had
not been touched, Biermann scrambled to his feet and rumbled
31 yards on a twisting, turning effort to give the Falcons a 20-
10 lead with 4:01 left.
Matt Ryan threw a 45-yard TD pass to Roddy White as the
Falcons (4-1) won their fourth straight. Michael Turner rushed
for 140 yards.
Jaguars 36, Bills 26
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Tight end Marcedes Lewis
caught two touchdowns passes as Jacksonville rallied from a
10-point deficit to keep Buffalo winless.
David Garrard shook off an interception and a lost fumble to
throw for three touchdowns as the Jaguars (3-2) snapped a four-
game road skid. Mike Sims-Walker’s 7-yard touchdown put the
Jaguars ahead for good, 27-20 lead late in the third quarter.

Cardinals 30, Saints 20 Giants 34,Texans 10 Buccaneers 24, Bengals 21

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Max Hall’s debut as Arizona’s quar-
terback was a winning one as the Cardinals defense intercept-
ed three passes by Drew Brees.
The undrafted rookie from BYU completed 17 of 27 passes
for 168 yards, Jay Feely kicked three field goals and Kerry
Rhodes returned a fumble 27 yards for a score to lead the way.
Hall threw an interception that led to an early Saints field
goal and fumbled twice, but both turned out to be key plays for
Arizona (3-2). The first was returned 2 yards by Cardinals tack-
le Levi Brown for a touchdown. Guard Alan Faneca pounced
on the other for a 10-yard gain.
Arizona’s defense, awful in a 41-10 loss at San Diego a week
earlier, converted two turnovers by the Saints (3-2) into touch-
downs.
Titans 34, Cowboys 27
ARLINGTON, Texas — Chris Johnson scored a pair of 1-
yard touchdowns in the fourth quarter, lifting Tennessee over
mistake-prone Dallas.
The Cowboys got behind 17-3 with penalties and errors on
defense. Dallas managed to tie it at 17 and 20, then a tipped
pass that was intercepted set up Johnson’s first touchdown of
the final period.
Tony Romo tied it again at 27 on a touchdown throw to Jason
Witten, then offensive lineman Marc Colombo was penalized
15 yards for celebrating. Dallas (1-3) kicked off from farther
back and Tennessee’s Marc Mariani returned it to the 11. A
penalty on the tackle moved the ball to the 5, setting up
Johnson’s next touchdown.
Lions 44, Rams 6
DETROIT — Stefan Logan’s 105-yard kickoff return broke
a tie and sent the Lions to their first win of the season and ended
a 10-game losing streak.
The win was the Lions’ most-lopsided since beating the
expansion Jacksonville Jaguars 44-0 in 1995.
Logan’s franchise-record tying score helped the Lions (1-4)
outscore St. Louis 21-3 in the second quarter, and they didn’t
let up.
The Rams (2-3) lost standout receiver Mark Clayton with an
injured knee in the first quarter and limited rookie Sam
Bradford’s passing options — he was 23 of 45 for 215 yards
HOUSTON — Eli Manning threw two of his three touch- CINCINNATI — Carson Palmer’s third interception gave

LANDOVER, Md. — Graham Gano kicked a 33-yard field
goal 6:54 into overtime to lift Washington.
The winning score was set up by LaRon Landry’s diving
interception of Aaron Rodgers at the Packers 39. The Redskins
moved the ball with the help of two penalties to set up Gano’s
kick.
Washington overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit, tying

against his former team and Chicago overcame four intercep-

Forte scored both his TDs in the first quarter, during which
Peppers silenced a booing crowd in his first game back to
Carolina with a diving interception to set up a field goal.
The Bears (4-1) bounced back from an ugly loss a week ear-
lier against the Giants to do just enough to beat the Panthers (0-

I don’t care how old you are. Your par-
ents, at some point, ranted about sky-
rocketing prices and tossed out the
“money doesn’t grow on trees” line which is
right up there with the other classic about
walking a few miles to school every day in
the rain uphill, both ways. Our parents have
a right to whine. Just think what $10 doesn’t
get you these days. You can’t buy one movie
ticket for $10. You can’t get a music CD for
less than 10 smackeroos, unless you’re shop-
ping at our Pick of the Litter secondhand
store, where you can get several for $10.
(John Denver’s Greatest Hits, The Very Best
of Wham and Lady Gaga Unplugged are
waiting for you right now!). You can’t get 10
songs on iTunes for $10. Ten dollars won’t
buy you a haircut, even the cheap ones I get
at places with misnomers like “Super” or
“Great” in their names. You can’t get a
week’s worth of big cups of plain old coffee
at Starbucks. Ten dollars may get you one
sleeve of a Banana Republic T-shirt. And,
$10 will barely cover one beer at AT&T
Park. When I was a kid, do you know how
much beer you could buy for $10 (sorry,
Mom!). You know there’s going to be a flip
side to this madness ... a $10 bargain. Here’s
what $10 will get you right now: through
Oct. 31, $10 will allow you to adopt a black
or orange cat at PHS/SPCA. Yes, we’ve offi-
cially jumped on the crowded San Francisco
Giants playoff bandwagon, which is pet-
friendly. We’ve set our adoption fee for all
black or orange cats at just $9 and we have
more than 50 awaiting new homes. Cats
have nine lives and baseball has nine innings

shelter this time of the year.

‘Social Network’repeats as No.1
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Movie fans have book-
marked the Facebook drama “The Social
Network” as their weekend favorite.
David Fincher’s saga about personality
clashes and legal feuds among the website’s
founders took in $15.5 million to remain the
No. 1 film for a second straight weekend,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
Released by Sony, “The Social Network”
raised its 10-day total to $46.1 million.
Debuting a close second with a so-so $14.6
million weekend was the Warner Bros.
romance “Life as We Know It,” starring
Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel as spar-
ring guardians to an orphaned girl.
Disney’s horse-racing drama “Secretariat,”
starring Diane Lane, also had a so-so debut,
coming in at No. 3 with $12.6 million.
Opening a weak No. 5 with $7 million was
Wes Craven’s serial killer thriller “My Soul to
Take,” released by Rogue Pictures.
In narrower release, the Focus Features tale
“It’s Kind of a Funny Story” opened at No. 12
with a slim $2 million. The movie stars Keir
Gilchrist, Emma Roberts and Zach
Galifianakis in the story of a teen who checks
himself into a psychiatric ward.
With great reviews, audience word-of-
mouth and Academy Awards buzz, “The
Social Network” saw its business hold up
well, dropping a scant 31 percent from open-
ing weekend.
“It’s the type of picture that people can’t
take their eyes off of,” said Rory Bruer, head
of distribution at Sony. “Just about everyone
has said to me that it’s a movie they want to
see again, as well. This picture is going to be
around for a long time.”
“The Social Network” dominated a field of
newcomers and holdovers fighting largely for
fans 25 and older, a segment of the audience
less likely to jam into theaters than those in
their teens and early 20s.
“There’s probably a bit of an overabun-
dance,” said
Chuck Viane,
head of dis-
tribution at
Disney.

2.“Life as We Know It,”$14.6 million.
3.“Secretariat,”$12.6 million.
4.“Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of

5.“My Soul to Take,”$6.9 million.
6.“The Town,”$6.4 million.

million.
8.“Easy A,”$4.2 million.

10.“You Again,”$2.5 million.
distributors, though, Disney was counting on
positive reactions from older fans to keep
“Secretariat” on track in subsequent weeks.
Along with Sony’s “The Social Network,”
Warner Bros. has maintained strong business
for Ben Affleck’s heist thriller “The Town,”
which took in $6.4 million this weekend and
raised its total to $73.8 million after four
weeks.
“Typically, this should be a horse race, but
if what’s happening this fall continues, this is
probably going to play out more like a
marathon for all of us,” Viane said.
Female crowds made up just over two-
thirds of the audience for “Life as We Know
Monday • Oct. 11, 2010 17
It,” according to Warner Bros. That segment
of the audience often holds up well in the
weeks following a movie’s debut.
“Yes, there is a whole bunch of stuff for
adults this year,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner
general sales manager. “But the female audi-
ence goes for a certain level, and for us, I
think we kind of hit that. I think we’ll hang
around a while.”
While studio executives are talking opti-
mistically, overall business is lagging, with
revenues down most weekends since early
September.
Total receipts came in at about $93 million,
down 15 percent from the same weekend last
year, when “Couples Retreat” led the market
with a $34.3 million debut, according to box-
office tracker Hollywood.com.
“It’s a great time for the adult drama genre,”
said Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian. “But if you’re just tapping
into the over-30 crowd, you’re going to be
fine, but you’re not going to see the sort of
business you’d get with a big, populist movie
like ‘Couples Retreat’ a year ago. That
appealed to everybody, the date crowd and all
that.”
Paramount has a potential hit for younger
fans this coming weekend with “Jackass 3D,”
the latest installment of crazy stunts and
pranks from Johnny Knoxville and company.
Several films opened well in limited release.
Sony Pictures Classics’ documentary “Inside
Job,” which examines the 2008 economic cri-
sis, took in $42,017 in two theaters, averaging
a strong $21,009 a cinema. That compared to
an average of $4,646 in 3,150 theaters for
“Life as We Know It” and $4,102 in 3,072
locations for “Secretariat.”
The Weinstein Co. drama “Nowhere Boy,”
the story of John Lennon’s teen years, opened
with $56,065 in four theaters for a $14,016
average.
Overture Films’ prison parole tale “Stone,”
starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton,
premiered with $73,000 in six theaters for a
$12,167 average.

JAIL

story jail near the current Maguire
Correctional Facility. The land is the
sheriff’s motor pool and its choice
would create a domino effect of other
moves and rebuilding to relocate the lot.
Munks long held the pool lot was
preferable because its proximity to the
other jail meant no need to duplicate
services like the kitchen and limited
transportation issues taking inmates to
the courthouse across the street.
In contrast, the five-acre Chemical

taking funds that local governments
have already allocated to local services.
Foster City Vice Mayor Linda Koelling
contends cities need to be guaranteed
the money that they anticipate, without
worrying it will be taken by the state.
“Right now, the state is using local
funds like a credit card. Raids on local
government funds have come to a fever
pitch. Parks, libraries and emergency
services are being cut,” said Koelling.
Opponents of the initiative claim it
will thrust California schools into an
even more dire situation. Richard
Stapler, a spokesman for the No on Prop
22 campaign, said it is a step in the
wrong direction.
“It’s ballot-box budgeting at its
worst,” said Stapler. “There is no flexi-
bility for the state. It would cut educa-
tion by up to $1 billion this year and
$400 million each year after that.”
Don Dawson, a California Teachers
Association board member and high
school math instructor in San Jose,
argues that Proposition 98, which can
LOCAL/CALENDAR
Way site would allow the jail to be built
further out rather than taller. Munks has
estimated a facility there would be three
stories. The site is also near the
Women’s Correctional Facility and not
too far away from the courthouse, he
has said at community meetings to take
the public’s temperature on the idea.
Even if a jail is built on Chemical
Way, on the other side of Highway 101,
all bookings and releases are still
planned to happen at Maguire. Inmates
awaiting court cases will still be housed
there, too, while the new facility focus-
es on minimum security.
At the last public hearing on the jail
proposal, several residents asked Munks
be suspended in times of fiscal crisis,
would be impacted, and education
would lose funding. He argues that leg-
islators would no longer have the flexi-
bility to secure funding for schools.
“I like arenas as much as the next per-
son,” said Dawson. “But if I have to
choose between education and redevel-
opment, I’m picking education.”
Koelling disagrees, and said
Proposition 98, which requires that
about 40 percent of the state budget be
spent on education, protects schools.
“We have Prop. 98 and that can’t be
touched,” she said.
Proposition 1A, passed in 2004, had
sought to prohibit the state from reduc-
ing local governments’ property tax pro-
ceeds and protect local funding for pub-
lic safety, health, libraries, parks and
other critical locally delivered services
unless the governor declares a fiscal
emergency and two-thirds of the
Legislature approves the suspension.
Such a declaration was made last year.
Scott Seaman, police chief for Los
Gatos/Monte Sereno and second vice
president of the California Police Chiefs
Association said Proposition 1A has not
deterred the state from using local
funds. The state has found other ways to
to reconsider both ideas.
Purchasing Chemical Way rather than
using the county-owned motor pool
adds to the estimated jail construction
price tag of $150 million. As proposed,
the new jail would have 768 beds and
require 145 employees. Munks esti-
mates needing $18 million in operating
costs.

take money, Seaman said, and voters
should hold the state accountable for
balancing a budget.
“There is a difference between state
and local governments. The state does-
n’t have to balance a budget,” said
Seaman. “That’s part of what they mean
when they say government is broken.
We need to protect local services.”
Jeff Wagner, communications director
for the California Transit Association
and a sponsor of Proposition 22, said he
has watched funds designated to trans-
portation get illegally diverted to the
general fund.
“Voters want the money they pay at
the pump to go to improving transporta-
tion options,” said Wagner. “Last year,
they eliminated all state funding for
day-to-day transit. We got some rein-
stated, but we are tired of reducing serv-
ice, losing jobs and raising fares.”
Opponents, however, said the propo-
sition may seem appealing, but voters
need to take a closer look.
“It sounds good at first,” said
Dawson, the San Jose teacher. “But it
protects redevelopment agencies even
when the state is in desperate straits.
They talk about closing loopholes, but
this just isn’t the way to do it.”

starts ticking as to when flood
insurance would be required,
according to City Manager Jim
Hardy.
San Mateo residents on the east
side of the city voted last year to
assess themselves $86 annually to
pay for three miles of levee
improvements. About 18,000
homes in San Mateo and Foster
City would be forced to pay higher
insurance rates if the neighborhood
had not voted for the assessment.
The current draft FEMA map
shows Foster City to be almost
completely in a flood zone. Since
the final map has yet to be
released, most residents in Foster

from the flakes and dust from vehi-

washes these brake particles from

With the help of other activist
organizations, she brought her case
to the attention of state Sen.
Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego,
who drafted the bill with state Sen.
Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, in
September 2009. After 10 amend-

in the state Assembly, the bill was
signed into law a year later.

City pay about $350 a year if they
purchase flood insurance. If FEMA
releases its map before San Mateo
completes levee work, Foster City
residents could see those insurance
rates soar to about $1,400 a year.
San Mateo, however, has
requested FEMA to issue the map
as if the levee improvements were
already completed which would
keep insurance rates at the low
level. The city has yet to hear from
FEMA on this issue yet, though.
San Mateo has constructed two
of three projects required to
remove the area from the flood
insurance rate map, according to
Public Works Director Larry
Patterson. Levee walls were con-
structed along San Mateo Creek
and improvements were made to
the tidal gates and levees at the
south end of the Marina Lagoon.
manufacturers — reduce the
amount of copper in brake pads to
no greater than 5 percent by 2021,
then to no greater than 0.5 percent
2025.
Vehicles and brake pads manu-
factured before these years will be
exempt, however. In the interim,
however, Moran said that manufac-
turers will work toward using alter-
native materials.
“I would certainly like for those
dates to be sooner,” Moran said,
“but the bill has an important clause
that (the brake) industry has time to
look for alternatives.”
A few years after earning her
Ph.D in chemistry from the
University of California at
Berkeley, Moran formed TDC
Environmental LLC, an environ-
mental consulting firm that con-
ducts technical compliance studies.
Gathering what she learned from
studying copper contamination in
salmon, she founded the Brake Pad

The last project the city must com-
plete is the South Bayfront Levee
project, currently going through a
lengthy permitting process.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service just issued their biological
opinion, which was the key permit
requirement, according to
Patterson.
The permit from the Regional
Water Quality Control Board has
been issued and San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development
Commission and U.S. Corps of
Engineers permits are being
processed, according to Patterson.
“We are prequalifying contrac-
tors who will be asked to submit
bids for the work. We have sched-
uled award of the construction
project contract in January.
Construction would begin after
award and receipt of all required
Partnership in the mid-1990s.
“We wanted to use readily avail-
able information in 1990s, but we
couldn’t find any satisfactory stud-
ies. So we needed to get grants to
conduct the scientific studies, and the
grant money took forever to get in.
“Oh, it was much too long,”
Moran said. “The time frame ... we
had to do this for the first time,
there was no model. If someone
told me it would’ve taken 15 years
plus some implementation time, I
wouldn’t have liked to have heard
that.”
The BPP, which consists of state
municipalities and environmental
groups, worked with brake pad
manufacturers in its studies to
demonstrate that the majority of
copper in California watersheds
was coming from brake pad shav-
ings. According to Moran, brake
pads released 1.3 million pounds of
copper this year alone. That much
copper could be translated to $2

Construction should be completed
within 18 months,” Patterson said
in an e-mail.
The length of the construction
period could be impacted by limits
established to protect endangered
species that may be in the area,
according to Patterson.
In 2008, FEMA released a pre-
liminary flood map that showed
expanded areas in San Mateo
County, including areas south of
State Route 92 and all of Foster
City that would be reclassified as
special flood hazard zones. Areas
designated as special flood hazard
zones are susceptible to a 1 percent
chance of a flood occurring in any
given year, also referred to as a
“100-year flood,” according to
Kiesel.
In December 2009, San Mateo
million in pennies, she claimed.
“It does make you scratch your
head, wondering, ‘why wasn’t this
done sooner?’” Simitian said.
Though Moran was concerned
about saving salmon, the bill’s
authors were also concerned about
saving cities and counties billions
of dollars in fines for failing to meet
cleanup costs from state and feder-
al regulators.
“My municipality is under feder-
al deadlines to reduce runoffs,”
Kehoe said. “It’s all kind of arcane
unless you’re one of these cities
that get fined like San Diego was a
while ago.”
San Diego came under pressure
from state regulators for failing to
satisfactorily investigate contami-
nation in its storm drain system.
“(As Californians) we drive more
miles than any other state, so we
want the water to be as clean as
possible,” Kehoe said.
Even as a politician, Kehoe iden-

filed a request with FEMA request-
ing that the boundary of the assess-
ment district be granted a “Zone
A99/Adequate Progress” designa-
tion. FEMA is currently reviewing
the city’s request and will not issue
a final letter of determination
regarding the new map until this
issue has been resolved. This
means that the date for finalization
of the new revised map is uncer-
tain.
“Once we get this notification,
residents will have six months to
purchase the insurance,” Kiesel
said. “I hope to calm down resi-
dents who think they have to buy
flood insurance now.”

tified with Moran’s simmering dis-
illusionment about the process of
getting the bill passed.
“For months I thought, it’s going
to die,” Kehoe said. “The differ-
ences were in negotiating deadline
years for different interested par-
ties, but finally it came together,
everyone was in a mood of cooper-
ation.”
The Brake Pad Reformulation
Bill, which is aimed at water quali-
ty, comes four years after a major
air quality state law was passed in
2006 — the Global Warming
Solutions Act, or AB 32. This law
requires that the California reduce
its greenhouse emissions by the
year 2020.
Washington state passed a similar
law in March, and Rhode Island
and New York are considering sim-
ilar bills.
“Washington’s law certainly was
the wind beneath our wings in get-
ting our bill passed,” Simitian said.
