Economic picture

San Mateo County’s economy is a
mixed bag of a combination of
increased housing prices but declin-
ing office space vacancies, spiking
travel rates but rising unemploy-
ment — according to the
Controller’s Office evaluation of the
last fiscal year.
Controller Tom Huening recently
released his annual financial report,
providing county residents with a
glimpse into just how the jurisdic-
tion is making ends meet, struggling
to stay ahead or remaining flat. In
short, the hefty report shows that the
county is much in line with the rest
of the state’s economic trends.
The report looked at statistics
through the end of June 30.

But he’s back painting now, after
months of additional rehabilitation in
Maine that has included conventional
therapy in a hospital, as well as occupa-
tional and physical therapy at a horse
farm that has helped strengthen his hands
and fingers by driving a carriage.
On a recent day at Spring Creek Farm,
Salvent worked his hands and wrists by
“I can paint,” he said. “I’m in life now.”
Salvent, 26, grew up in Cap-Haitien in
northern Haiti and earned money selling
his paintings. He moved to Port-au-
Prince three years ago, where he worked
construction for his daily job while creat-
ing his colorful acrylics on the side.
But his life took an abrupt turn Jan. 12,
when the earthquake struck. He was in
downtown Port-au-Prince, where a build-
ing tumbled on top of him. He couldn’t
move. He couldn’t see. He could hear
movement now and again above him, but
when he tried to scream for help, nothing
came out.
Salvent now has a scar several inches
long on his neck, the result of his surgery
on board the hospital ship, the USNS
Comfort. After his surgery, he was taken
to the Shepherd Center hospital in
Atlanta, which specializes in spinal cord
treatment and rehabilitation. He had
never been away from Haiti, and he
spoke no English — Creole is his native
tongue.
He later came to Maine at the urging of
one of his best friends, who is married to
a woman from Maine and now lives in

Creek Farm in this town 25 miles south
of Portland. Equest has treated more than
2,500 patients from ages 2 to 102 for
everything from autism and multiple
sclerosis to brain injuries and retardation.
Therapists have helped soldiers and
students and housewives and amputees,
but Salvent was the first earthquake sur-
vivor.
“When he first came here, he had trou-
ble holding utensils, and he couldn’t hold
a pen,” said Sue Grant, a physical thera-
pist who has been working with Salvent.
Salvent now can offer a firm hand-
shake and has no problem holding
things. But his hands’ fine motor skills
still need work, and his painting isn’t
back to where he’d like it to be. Still, he
feels the need to paint.
At Shepherd Center, Dr. Donald
Leslie, the medical director, got Salvent
an easel and canvasses so he could paint
while undergoing rehabilitation there.
The hospital staff had to fit his hand and
wrist with a special brace and make cus-
tom attachments for his paintbrushes sim-
ply so he could apply paint to canvas.

Walter Varney Airfield and United Airlines
I
n the early 1900s, the main means
of transportation was walking,
wagons, bicycles, ships and auto-
mobiles. Then along came the Wright
brothers. Their attempt to conquer the
airways met with success and the air age
was upon us. Around 1910, the heavier-
than-air machines were being perfected
and were meeting with a great deal of
success. There were many setbacks,
however, and many deaths occurred
while this infant industry was struggling
to make a name for itself. A number of
cross country races and barnstorming the
airplanes were inflaming the thoughts of
the country and they wanted more of it.
One of the first thoughts that came to
mind for most people was how could
they make this into a successful commer-
cial event and also advance society?
The original airfields used for landing
and taking off of aircraft were usually
any flat surface they could utilize — cow
fields or open pastures. These were very
primitive and there was no consistency
as far as specs as to what an airfield
should be. In Northern California, there
had been a number of successful flights
by the mid-1910s from a number of land-
ing strips scattered throughout the
Peninsula.
PHOTO COURTESY OF LOCAL HISTORY ROOM OF THE REDWOOD CITY LIBRARY
Silas Christofferson in his “pusher”plane brought air flight to Redwood City.
The idea of using aircraft to transport
mail was formulated by the U.S. govern-
ment and the United States Postal
Service initiated a search for adequate
facilities to serve this need. The race was
on by the major cities to come up with
adequate facilities and San Francisco and
Oakland was in the forefront of this
search.
The Peninsula had a lot of open space
that could be developed for landing the
simple aircraft that was being made in
the early 1900s. Lynch Field in Redwood
City, between Veterans Boulevard and
Broadway (near the Municipal Service
Center) was purchased by Silas
Christofferson in June 1916. He was to
develop an airfield, a flying school and
facilities to construct aircraft almost
immediately. Christofferson came from
Portland, Ore., and had had great success
with his airplanes and had flown to an
altitude record of nearly 20,000 feet. In
Monday • Nov. 29, 2010 3
1914, he flew from San Francisco to San
Diego. His one day-day record flight of
271 miles gained him tremendous pres-
tige. His reputation drew numerous peo-
ple to his flying school from all over the
world. The school was a great success
almost immediately and people from all
over came to observe the flights that
occurred to the northeast of downtown
Redwood City by Chestnut Street.
However, on Oct. 31, 1916, Silas
Christofferson was killed when he went
into a steep dive in his aircraft and was
unable to pull out of it and the plane
crashed, killing Christofferson.
The flying school continued to operate
and aircraft were manufactured for a
number of years. In 1920, Walter T.
Varney, a local resident born in San
Francisco in 1888, purchased the airfield,
and it became known as Varney Field.

Continued from page 3
Varney, a World War I veteran pilot, was a
very determined and aggressive individual
that would eventually make a name for him-
self in the aircraft industry. Varney took over
ownership of the United Aircraft and
Transportation Company and distributed
flowers by air from the greenhouses in
Redwood City. He later based his business,
Varney Air Lines, in Boise, Idaho.
In San Francisco, there was pressure to
develop an adequate airfield for commercial
purposes. Better and more dependable air
the mail. Its service had been proven in 1920,
although the transfer of mail had been by a
combination of air travel and train travel that
occurred during the night when planes could
not fly. The Army’s Crissy Field, just west of
the Marina in San Francisco had been thought
of as a usable field, however, the fog and
weather conditions did not encourage that
use. The Kelly Bill of 1924 allowed the gov-
ernment to contract private companies to
carry the mail. On the first contracted air mail
flight, April 6, 1926 Varney Air Lines flew 64
pounds of mail from the Paseo, Wash. to Elko,
Nev. on the first contracted air mail flight.
After this was publicized, other cities jumped
in to get airmail contracts. In 1930, Varney
sold Varney Airlines to United Aircraft and
ny’s name was changed to United Airlines. In
1934 Walter Varney and his partner Louis
Mueller started Varney Speed Lines. This
became Continental Airlines.
San Francisco set out specifications for a
9000 foot runway, a meteorological station,
provisions of a machine shop with proper
lighting, and adequate use of gasoline and oil
servicing units. The search is was on for a
place that would have these specifications.
The 403-acre Redwood City Varney Field met
those specifications, however competition
was tough and other areas were vying for this
opportunity. The transportation system had
improved considerably for automobile traffic
down the Peninsula and roads became one of
the main considerations for placing the new
being considered along with the Mills Estate
property along the Bay by San Bruno, as well
as the possibility of Treasure Island shoal area
( where Treasure Island was later built),
McLaren Park in San Francisco, as well as a
platform suggested over the waterfront
wharves in San Francisco.
Due to the distance from San Francisco,
Redwood City was scratched off the list and
eventually the area chosen was owned by D.O.
Mills. The field was named Mills Field, later
changed to San Francisco International Airport.

Congress faces daunting agenda

By Jim Abrams

WASHINGTON — The unem-

and black farmers. Illegal immi-
grants hiding from the law and gays

just about everybody else, they all

struggles to wrap up its work for the

Lawmakers, after taking
Thanksgiving week off, arrive in
town Monday along with the
Capitol Christmas tree for the final
stretch of the postelection session.
Facing a daunting agenda, they
could have that tree in their sights

Leaked U.S.cables reveal sensitive diplomacy

By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of
thousands of State Department doc-
uments leaked Sunday revealed a
hidden world of backstage interna-
tional diplomacy, divulging candid
comments from world leaders and
detailing occasional U.S. pressure
tactics aimed at hot spots in
Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea.
The classified diplomatic cables
released by online whistle-blower
WikiLeaks and reported on by news
organizations in the United States
and Europe provided often unflat-
tering assessments of foreign lead-
ers, ranging from U.S. allies such as
Germany and Italy to other nations
like Libya, Iran and Afghanistan.
The cables also contained new
revelations about long-simmering
nuclear trouble spots, detailing
U.S., Israeli and Arab world fears of
Iran’s growing nuclear program,
American concerns about Pakistan’s
atomic arsenal and U.S. discussions
about a united Korean peninsula as
a long-term solution to North
Korean aggression.
There are also American memos
encouraging U.S. diplomats at the
United Nations to collect detailed
data about the U.N. secretary gen-
eral, his team and foreign diplomats
— going beyond what is considered
the normal run of information-gath-
ering expected in diplomatic cir-
cles.
None of the revelations is particu-
larly explosive, but their publication
could prove problematic for the offi-
cials concerned.
The documents published by The
New York Times, France’s Le
Monde, Britain’s Guardian newspa-
per, German magazine Der Spiegel
and others laid out the behind-the-
scenes conduct of Washington’s
international relations, shrouded in
public by platitudes, smiles and
handshakes at photo sessions
among senior officials.
The White House immediately
condemned the release of the
WikiLeaks documents, saying
“such disclosures put at risk our
diplomats, intelligence profession-
als, and people around the world
who come to the United States for
assistance in promoting democracy
and open government.”
It also noted that “by its very
nature, field reporting to
Washington is candid and often
incomplete information. It is not an
expression of policy, nor does it
always shape final policy deci-
sions.”
“Nevertheless, these cables could
compromise private discussions
with foreign governments and
opposition leaders, and when the
substance of private conversations is
printed on the front pages of news-
papers across the world, it can
deeply impact not only U.S. foreign
policy interests, but those of our
allies and friends around the world,”
the White House said.
State Department spokesman P.J.
Crowley played down the spying
allegations. “Our diplomats are just
that, diplomats,” he said. “They col-
lect information that shapes our
policies and actions. This is what
diplomats, from our country and
other countries, have done for hun-
dreds of years.”

RAMALLAH, West Bank —
Israel needs to do more to ease its

How To Get Rid Of Neck Pain And Local doctor uses

Disc Herniations Without Surgery?
If you’re suffering from the following…
• Serious and debilitating neck pain
• Sharp, shooting pains in the shoulders and arms
• Numbness and tingling in the arms and hands
• Severe, chronic headaches
• Herniated or Bulging Cervical Discs
…there may be hope. Now, one doctor
in the bay area has what may be the most
important breakthrough in neck pain
treatment.
If you’re suffering from neck pain, arm pain, or
numbness in the hands, this may be the most important
article you ever read. It’s about what is perhaps the
most revolutionary treatment ever used for neck and
arm pain. Even pinched nerves and disc herniations can
be successfully treated with this amazing therapy.
My name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner of
Crossroads Health Center in San Mateo and Campbell.
I understand what it feels like to live with chronic
neck pain. I have personally suffered from multiple
disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and
understand firsthand the severe pain and disability
that comes with these types of injuries. I did not want
to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I
wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would
help me manage my condition.
That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression and
the DRX9000 not as a doctor, but as a patient and it
completely changed my life. Within a few months
my pain went from severe to mild and I was able to
return back to my activities of golf, weight lifting and
spending quality time with my family. It has been my
mission ever since to share this great new technology
with as many people as possible.
While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather
new treatment, there’s plenty of research to back up its
claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies
or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com.
However it’s the results we see every day in our office
that get us so excited about this new non-invasive
treatment. Read what some of our patients are saying.
My severe lower back and sciatica pain have
been reduced significantly since receiving spinal
decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf
and do things without pain that I haven’t been able to
do for years.
Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno
—C.M. Allard
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower
back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and
pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain.
Physical therapy didn’t help. When an MRI showed that
I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections. The first one helped a tiny
bit, but the others didn’t do a thing for my pain. The
only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was

U.S.,S.Korea launch joint war games

YEONPYEONG ISLAND,
South Korea — A U.S. supercarri-

took up position in the tense
Yellow Sea on Sunday for joint
military exercises that were a unit-

deadly North Korean artillery
attack.
As tensions escalated across the
region, with North Korea threaten-
ing another “merciless” attack,
China belatedly jumped into the
fray. Beijing’s top nuclear envoy,
Wu Dawei, called for an emer-
gency meeting in early December
among regional powers involved in
nuclear disarmament talks, includ-
ing North Korea.
Seoul responded cautiously to
the proposal from North Korea’s
staunch ally, saying it should be
“reviewed very carefully” in light

of a new uranium-enrichment
facility, even as protesters begged

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Visions of political plums dance through their heads
W
hile most of us are
focused on holiday
shopping, several local
politicians are preparing for the
next campaign. They are dreaming
of politics, not sugarplums. That
includes candidates for Mark
Church’s seat on the Board of
Supervisors. Church was elected as
assessor-county clerk-recorder and
elections chief. His replacement
will be chosen at a special election
in the spring.
This promises to be an exciting
election, the likes of which we
haven’t seen since Rich Gordon
defeated Denise deVille in 1997.
There are five declared candidates
to date. Burlingame Mayor Terry
Nagel was the latest to enter the
race. She is a former newspaper
reporter and has been a force in
Burlingame politics since winning
a battle with PG&E over power
outages. She was elected by the
county’s mayors to serve on the
San Mateo County Transit
Authority. Recently she has been
working with a consortium of cities
to address the impacts of high-
speed rail. She works for a non-
profit in San Francisco and has
three grown children.
Dave Pine, president of the San
Mateo Union High School Board,
worked as general counsel for three
Silicon Valley technology firms.
But his interest has always been in
public policy. He ran for the state
Assembly in 2002 and lost but
gained much knowledge about the
community and its leaders. He was
one of Steve Westly’s education
advisors when Westly ran for gov-
ernor of California. Pine was a
member of the Burlingame
Elementary School District Board
when he was asked to run for the
high school board in 2007 — not
necessarily a stepping stone to

higher office — to help oust the
lackluster incumbents and to help
restore the district to financial and
educational health. Pine was a
member of the county’s Charter
Review Committee where he
pushed for district elections. He,
his wife, and two young sons live
in Burlingame.
Millbrae City Councilwoman
Gina Papan is the late Lou Papan’s
daughter. Lou Papan was a long-
time state assemblyman, ran for
state senate and lost to Quentin
Kopp. He ran again for the senate
in a heated race between Mike
Nevin and Leland Yee, which Yee
won. In the interim, Papan ran
against and lost to Gene Mullin for
her father’s old Assembly seat.
Papan will be termed out of the
Millbrae council so it was no sur-
prise when she entered the race for
supervisor. She is a lawyer who
works in the State Attorney
General’s Office in San Francisco.
She is a member of the county’s
congestion management agency
and served several years on the
County/City Associations of
Government. Her campaign con-
sultant is Alex Tourk who once
worked for her dad.
Richard Holober is a trustee on
th San Mateo Community College
District Board. He has been a lob-
byist for several unions in
Sacramento including the
California Nurses Association and
is now executive director of the
nonprofit Consumer Federation of
California, an advocacy group for
OPINION
consumers. His wife, Nadia, is on
the Millbrae City Council. (She
was also rumored to be considering
a run for the board). Like Papan
and Pine, Holober has been active
in local and state democratic poli-
tics. He and Nadia have two grown
sons.
Michael Stogner of San Carlos
has run for the last three open seats
on the Board of Supes and has not
won nor ever been elected to public
office. Even in these days of anti-
incumbents and no experience,
Mike is a very dark horse in this
race.
***
Pine and Nagel have listed their
endorsements for the supervisor
race on their websites. Pine has the
endorsement of Richard Gordon,
current president of the Board of
Supervisors who is heading to
Sacramento in December as a new
assemblyman. Dave also has
endorsements from a number of
Nagel’s colleagues on the
Burlingame city council. They are
sharing dual endorsements from
Burlingame council members Jerry
Deal and Michael Brownrigg, but
Cathy Baylock and Ann Keighran
are supporting Dave Pine. Terry is
endorsed by county treasurer tax-
collector elect Sandie Arnott.
Papan’s and Holober’s endorse-
ments for supervisor are not up yet.
However under their websites for
supervisor they list endorsements
for their previous races, which is
very confusing.
***
Meanwhile Sen. Leland Lee is
running for mayor of San
Francisco. If he is successful, some
San Mateo County politician is
expected to run for his Senate seat.
Most probable is Assemblyman
Jerry Hill who previously served
on the Board of Supes and the San
Mateo City Council. If Jerry wins,
prospects for his Assembly seat
would be Kevin Mullin, son of for-
mer Assemblyman Gene Mullin
and Hill’s predecessor in the
Assembly. Kevin Mullin will be
named mayor of South San
Francisco next Monday. He runs
his own multimedia production
company. Kevin is destined for
higher office. So is David Lim,
brand new San Mateo City Council
member, who has impressed the
community with his knowledge and
accessibility. Lim is an attorney
and works in the Alameda County
DA’s office. If Lim doesn’t go for
this opening, he will for the next.
Sue Lempert is the former mayor of

by now.
At least this intense sugar
splurge doesn’t last very long, but
the “treat” or “trick” that the food
industry carries on all year goes
on and on.
Ever since I started writing
columns in 1984, I’ve been on the
good nutrition bandwagon —
especially for children. Yet, here
it is 26 years later and health
problems caused by poor diets
have increased greatly. It boggles
the mind. We require safety seats
for children in cars, we worry
about and try to eliminate lead in
toys, kids’ pajamas are coated
with a chemical to prevent them
going up in smoke, but when it
comes to nutrition, the most
important ingredient of a child’s
health, very little is regulated.
It was reported in the Oct. 18,
20l0 Time magazine that 40 per-
cent is the portion of daily calories
consumed by kids ages 2 to 18 in
the United States that are devoid
of nutrients and high in fat and
sugar. It seems that those non-
nutritious and high fat and sugar
“treats” that so many kids seem to
subsist on are really a “trick” that
the food industry is playing on
consumers who don’t know better
to a lot of trouble to convince us
that we just can’t live without
them, when the truth is that living
with them has been compromising
our health — especially that of
our children. No wonder it has
been predicted that the next gener-
ation will be the first generation
that won’t enjoy a longer life span
(on average) than their parents.
“There is no measure of how
much is being suppressed as a
result of inadequately nourished
bodies and minds. As more and
more children are affected by diets
that fail to supply essential nutri-
ents, truly good health is lost in
the shuffle. Far too many children
live in a physically and mentally
dormant state.” — Patricia Kane,
“Food Makes the Difference.”
And how might this relate to the
problems of achievement in our
schools?
Almost all efforts of nutrition
experts, parents, legislators, etc. to
do something about regulating
such junk food have been to little
or no avail since the involved
facets of the food industry have so
much lobbying power with legis-
lators. One of the latest was the
effort by Mayor Bloomberg of
New York City, with city finances
other sugared drinks. As
Bloomberg and Gov. David
Patterson said in a joint statement,
“Sugar sweetened beverages are
the largest contribution to the obe-
sity epidemic.” Also, “A child who
drinks one sugary drink a day has
a 60 percent higher risk of becom-
ing obese than those who don’t.”
So what does the American
Beverage Association come up
with? I’m sure you won’t be sur-
prised. It goes like this: “There is
nothing unique about the calories
in sugar-sweetened beverages —
which include flavored waters,
sports drinks, juice drinks and teas
to justify singling them out for
elimination from eligible purchas-
es on the food stamp program in
New York City.” And, of course,
their lobbyists are at the ready if
and when it comes to a vote on
such a measure.
In getting junk food out of chil-
dren’s diets, soft drinks should be
the place to start. Much needs to
be done besides taking soft drinks
out of school vending machines.
When something as serious as the
health of our children is at stake,
increased regulation is called for
no matter how the industry
protests. Isn’t it time our legisla-

Business brief
EU ministers consider extending Greek loans
BRUSSELS — European officials say they are consid-
ering giving Greece more time to pay back its 110 billion
emergency loan package.
EU monetary affairs chief Olli Rehn said Sunday that
finance ministers have agreed “to look into” extending the
deadline for Greece to repay its loans to 7 1/2 years from 3
years.
That would bring Greece’s loan package in line with one
agreed Sunday for Ireland.

Ireland gets $89B bailout
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — European Union
nations agreed to give 67.5 billion ($89.4
billion) in bailout loans to Ireland on
Sunday to help it weather the cost of its
massive banking crisis, and sketched out
new rules for future emergencies in an
effort to restore faith in the euro currency.
The rescue deal, approved by finance
ministers at an emergency meeting in
Brussels, means two of the eurozone’s 16
nations have now come to depend on for-
eign help and underscores Europe’s strug-
gle to contain its spreading debt crisis.
The fear is that with Greece and now
Ireland shored up, speculative traders will
target the bloc’s other weak fiscal links,
particularly Portugal.
In Dublin, Irish Prime Minister Brian
Cowen said his country will take 10 bil-
lion immediately to boost the capital
reserves of its state-backed banks, whose
bad loans were picked up by the Irish
government but have become too much to
handle. Another 25 billion will remain in
reserve, earmarked for the banks.
The rest of the loans will be used to
cover Ireland’s deficits for the coming
Tax break for employer health plans a target again
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Job-based health
care benefits could wind up on the chop-
ping block if President Barack Obama
and congressional Republicans get seri-
ous about cutting the deficit.
Budget proposals from leaders in both
parties have urged shrinking or eliminat-
ing tax breaks that help make employer
health insurance the leading source of
coverage in the nation and a middle-
class mainstay.
The idea isn’t to just raise revenue,
economists say, but finally to turn
Americans into frugal health care con-
sumers by having them face the full
costs of their medical decisions.
Such a re-engineering was rejected by
Democrats only a few months ago, at the
four years. EU chiefs also gave Ireland an
extra year, until 2015, to reduce its annu-
al deficits to 3 percent of GDP, the euro-
zone limit. The deficit now stands at a
modern European record of 32 percent
because of the runaway costs of its bank-
bailout program.
Cowen said the accord — reached after
two weeks of tense negotiations in
Brussels and Dublin to fathom the true
depth of the country’s cash crisis — “pro-
vides Ireland with vital time and space to
successfully and conclusively address the
unprecedented problems that we’ve been
dealing with since this global economic
crisis began.”
However, in a surprise accounting
move, European and IMF experts decided
that Ireland first must run down its own
cash stockpile and deploy its previously
off-limits pension reserves in the bailout.
Until now Irish and EU law had made it
illegal for Ireland to use its pension fund
to cover current expenditures. This move
means Ireland will contribute 17.5 billion
to its own salvation.
The three groups offering funds to

height of the health care overhaul
debate. But Washington has changed,
with Republicans back in power and
widespread fears that the burden of gov-
ernment debt may drag down the econo-
my.
“There is no short-term prospect of
enactment,” former Senate Majority
Leader Tom Daschle, a leading
Democratic adviser on health care.
“However, in a tax reform (and) deficit
reducing context in the long term, the
prospects are much better,” said
Daschle. He opposes repealing the tax
break by itself, but says he would be
“willing to look” at it with other changes
that improve access to quality health
care while reducing costs.
Labor unions believed they had
squelched any such talk. Now, they’re
preparing for another fight.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
of the International Monetary Fund —
each have committed 22.5 billion ($29.8
billion). Extra bilateral loans from
Sweden, Denmark and Britain are includ-
ed within the EU contribution totals.
Ireland’s finance ministry said the
interest rates on the loans would be 6.05
percent from the eurozone fund, 5.7 per-
cent from the EU fund and 5.7 percent
from the IMF. That’s higher than the 5.2
percent being paid by Greece for its own
May bailout.
Ajai Chopra, deputy director of the
IMF’s European division who oversaw
the Dublin negotiations, confirmed
Ireland’s government would have free-
dom to set its own spending and tax
plans.
He said Ireland will have 10 years to
pay off its IMF loans, and that the first
repayment won’t be required until 4 1/2
years after a drawdown. Greece, in con-
trast, has three years to repay its loans.
Chopra said Ireland’s decision to use its
pension reserve fund had helped win the
confidence of those who offered help. He
declined to say if negotiators had
demanded Dublin use its reserves under
terms of the deal.
Tampering with health care tax breaks
is “a terrible step in the wrong direc-
tion,” said Mary Kay Henry, the new
president of the Service Employees
International Union, which represents
many hospital workers. “We want the
middle class stabilized, not destabi-
lized.”
Employer-provided health insurance
is part of a worker’s compensation.
Unlike wages, it isn’t subject to income
and payroll taxes.
Repealing the tax break would raise
several hundred billion dollars a year,
depending on how it’s done.
Many economists believe employers
would boost pay if they didn’t provide
health care. Proponents of repeal usually
call for a tax credit to offset part of the
cost of individually purchasing cover-
age.

Cherokees one win away from CCS title

By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Needing to simply run out the
clock in Saturday’s playoff semifi-
nal against the visiting Leland
Chargers, Sequoia running back
Isaias Flores stuck to his assign-
ment.
If only every play ended exactly
the way a coach draws it up.
Flores took an inside carry with
6:53 left in the game and knifed his
way past several defenders before
bouncing outside to the left sideline
and streaking for an 82-yard touch-
down to ice the game, helping give
the Cherokees a 27-14 victory and
their first appearance in a Central
Coast Section championship game
since 1986.
“I just stuck to my alignment and
I followed by my boy, (offensive
lineman Nick) Zmay, and took it all
the way,” said Flores, who finished
the game with 10 carries for 114
yards and two touchdowns. He also
had an interception on defense.
The Cherokees remain undefeat-
ed on the season at 11-0-1 and will
face Willow Glen, which beat
Wilcox 49-34 in the other semifinal,
in the Division II championship at 3
p.m. Saturday at San Jose City
College.
Sequoia coach Rob Poulos said
his team has remained undefeated
on the season because players are
going on the field loose. Instead of
“playing not to lose,” Poulos said
his club was told to let it all go.

win, let’s go out spectacular,’” he

Henne leads Dolphins past Raiders 33-17
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Chad Henne looked like a
different quarterback and the Miami Dolphins
looked like a completely different offense.
Henne made a triumphant return to the
lineup to throw for 307 yards and two scores
and Dan Carpenter kicked four field goals to
help the Miami Dolphins beat the Oakland
Raiders 33-17 Sunday.
Davone Bess had 111 yards receiving in his
first game as a pro in his hometown, and
Ricky Williams ran for 95 yards and a score
for the Dolphins (6-5), who won for the fifth
time in six road games to keep their playoff
hopes alive.
The Raiders (5-6) returned home following
a 35-3 beating in Pittsburgh and put together
another dud. Fan favorite Bruce Gradkowski
got the nod ahead of Jason Campbell at quar-
terback, but threw two interceptions and led
Oakland to just one offensive touchdown.
Rookie Jacoby Ford was the entire Raiders
offense, returning the opening kickoff 101
yards for a score and catching a 44-yard TD
pass from Gradkowski in the second quarter.
But the Dolphins held Oakland to 16 yards

in numbers this season but also in seniority, as
the Knights were forced to play a lot of soph-
omores.
“Four or five plays could have gone either
way and that decided the game,” he said.
Two plays in particular stand out, the first
being a nice 33-yard run by Phil Anderson,
which ended with the senior receiver pulling

line when hit, just before the end of the third

they weren’t always spectacular. The game
could have gone much differently had a cou-
ple calls or bounces gone the other way.
Three times Leland thought it had recov-
ered Sequoia fumbles, but all three times ref-
erees ruled the runner to be down or the play
to have been whistled dead. Frustration boiled
over for the Chargers, who drew a slew of per-
sonal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct
penalties in the fourth quarter.
“You could moan and wine about officiat-
ing, but we didn’t make enough plays to win
the game,” Leland coach Mike Carrozzo said.
“It’s so much easier to blame someone else in
life. There’s nobody I’m going to blame but
ourselves.”
Sequoia took the lead in the first quarter on
a 2-yard touchdown run by Flores, but Leland
answered back just before the half when Jason
Habash found Kenny Portera streaking into
the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown catch
with 31 seconds remaining. A Tim
McLaughlin extra point evened the game at 7-
all before the break.
The Chargers kept momentum in their favor
in the third quarter, taking a 14-7 lead follow-
ing a 33-yard touchdown run by Chris Santini
(12 carries, 96 yards).
Sequoia responded several series later,
when defensive back Daniel Gibson recov-
ered a fumble and then scored on a 5-yard run
three plays later. Dalton Diaz’s extra point
was blocked, leaving the Cherokees behind
14-13.
Another Leland turnover, this time Flores’
interception, gave Sequoia the ball back,
which resulted in a seven-play, 63-yard drive
capped by Josh Lauese diving into the end
zone from a yard out with 11:56 remaining.
Clint Kastrop made a great catch for the 2-
point conversion to push the Cherokees ahead
21-14.
A few minutes after Flores’ final touch-
down, Gibson picked off Habash and returned
the ball 30 yards before wisely getting out of
bounds to set up a couple downs of victory
formation.

but he performed well for almost the entire
contest, ending with 132 yards passing and 52
yards rushing.
Both teams, however, struggled with put-
ting the ball on the ground, which made for a
hectic time for the referees.
“It got a little sloppy — a lot of stuff on the
line and we have a
young team,” Poulos said. “This season has
been about learning.”
The Cherokees have been a quick study, and
they have made it almost impossible for other
teams to get a read on how to stop them. One
week it may be Lauese, another Beekley, the
next Gibson and Flores.
“This year we have four or five playmak-
ers,” Poulos said. “I think it’s a testament to
our team that we have a lot of playmakers and
you don’t hear about all of them.”

the lineup was cut short by a shoulder injury.
But after Tyler Thigpen struggled in a 16-0
loss to Chicago last week, the Dolphins went
back to Henne against the Raiders.
The improvement was evident from the
start. Henne led Miami to scores on the first
two possessions as the Dolphins’ offense

TIGERS
Continued from page 11
strike on a receiver-option pass, the Indians
missed the extra point, forcing them to play
catch-up the rest of the game.
As the teams exchanged turnovers early on
and the offenses had a hard time finding a
rhythm, Jefferson grabbed the momentum late
in the first half on the Harris to Deberry scor-
ing pass with less than a minute to play in the
first half. It appeared Harris, who took the
handoff from Meafua, was just going to run
an end around. Instead, he pulled up and fired
a strike just over the defensive back’s head
and into the waiting arms of Deberry.
The Indians led 6-0 at halftime and had the
Terra Nova offense bottled up, holding the
explosive Tigers to just 59 yards of offense in
the first half.
“We like to score points abruptly and in
bunches,” Gray said. “When you play teams
at this level, you have to make first downs;
take four, five yards at a time.
“We’re not used to that.”
All of that changed, however, on the sec-
ond-half kickoff when Terra Nova’s Elias
Vargas took the kick on his own 15, burst
through the middle of the Jefferson coverage
and twice avoided tackles far down the field
as Vargas went 85 yards for the touchdown.
Jake Dineen’s extra point gave the Tigers a 7-
6 lead.
“We’ve been on the verge of doing that,”
said Terra Nova coach Bill Gray, adding it’s
been a couple of seasons since the Tigers have
returned a kick for a score. “We needed some-
thing like that to kick start us. At halftime, the
kids were not confident.”
Jefferson, which didn’t have much going
offensively in the first half, finally found a
rhythm. Taking the ensuing kickoff, the
Indians drove 80 yards on nine plays, with
quarterback Cheyenne Meafua scrambling 48
yards for a touchdown and a 13-7 Jefferson
lead.
Meafua would only play one more series
after he tweaked his neck in the second quar-
ter and it finally knocked him out of the game
in the second half.
Good thing the Indians have an experienced
backup in Ezekiel Nunu, who split time with
Meafua throughout the season. Nunu came in
and guided Jefferson to a fourth-quarter
touchdown and led the Indians deep into Terra
Nova territory late in the game, before back-
to-back sacks by the Tigers ended Jefferson’s
season.
Nunu came in and rushed for 36 yards on
seven carries and also completed 3 of 6 pass-
es for 26 more.
“[Nunu] has so much talent,” Poti said. “I
would love to see him go somewhere (for col-
lege) and practice (being a) quarterback two

hours a day.”
While Nunu was trying to lead his team to
a comeback win, his counterpart Forbes, did
what he does best – read the defense and get
the right people the ball. In the second half, he
called his own number several times, leading
to a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. But the
biggest beneficiary of the Tigers’ commitment
to the run game was fullback Josh Cruz, who
had a horrific first half. Cruz touched the ball
three times in the first half and he gave the
ball away all three times. In the second half,
however, he rushed for 75 yards on eight car-
ries.
“You gotta have faith in your kids,” Gray
said of putting Cruz back in the game. “Cruz
asked to be put back in. We challenged him to
do something.”
While both offenses moved the ball well in
the second half, it was still a special team play
– or lack of one – that spelled the difference.
With Terra Nova clinging to a 14-13 lead, the
Tigers forced the Indians to punt deep in their
in territory. The snap to the punter, however,
nearly rolled back to him and while it
appeared he had time to still get the punt off,
the punter decided to run for it. He was tack-
led well short of the first down, giving the
Tigers excellent field position at the Jefferson
12. Five plays later, on the first play of the
fourth quarter, Forbes burrowed his way into
the end zone from a yard out to put the Tigers
up 21-13.
Nunu scored on a 12-yard boot leg midway
through the fourth quarter, but he couldn’t
connect with Harris on the 2-point conversion
which would have tied the score at 21.
Instead, it forced Jefferson to have to score
one more time to win.
After Nunu’s score, Jefferson had one more
chance to win the game, driving to the Terra
Nova 27, before sacks from Elliot Mamea and
Jeremy Leaver ended the Indians’ hopes.
After the game, Gray was as nearly proud
of Jefferson’s season as he was for his own
team. And with the Indians moving up to the
Bay Division next season, Gray is looking
forward to renewing this rivalry on an annual
basis.
“The Jefferson program is back where it
needs to be,” Gray said. “They are the right
people at the right place at the right time.
“This was great for Jefferson and Terra
Nova.”

Texans beat Titans; Falcons edge Packers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Andre Johnson finally had
enough from Cortland Finnegan, sparking a
fistfight that led to both players being ejected
and could end up in further discipline from
the NFL.
The Texans snapped a four-game losing
streak while Johnson and Finnegan were
ejected for their fight in the fourth quarter of a
20-0 Houston win over Tennessee on Sunday.
Arian Foster rushed for 143 yards and
caught nine passes for the Texans (5-6), who
posted their first shutout since 2004.
Midway through the fourth quarter,
Finnegan set it off by pushing up Johnson’s
face mask at the line of scrimmage. Johnson
ripped off Finnegan’s helmet and landed at
least two punches to Finnegan’s head and
neck. Finnegan tore off Johnson’s helmet
before players and referees intervened.
The game was halted for more than five
minutes as officials sorted out the chaos.
Johnson received a standing ovation as securi-
ty guards escorted him off the field. Finnegan
taunted booing fans as he exited out the oppo-
site tunnel.
Steelers 19, Bills 16 OT
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Shaun
Suisham kicked a 41-yard field goal with 2:14
left in overtime to lift the Steelers.
Buffalo (2-9) blew an opportunity to win it
with 10:30 left in overtime. Wide receiver
Stevie Johnson got in behind the Steelers sec-
ondary but dropped a 40-yard pass on the run,
while he was 2 yards into the end zone.
The Bills overcame a 13-point first-half
deficit and forced overtime with 2 seconds left
in regulation when Rian Lindell hit a 49-yard
field goal.
Falcons 20, Packers 17
ATLANTA — Matt Bryant kicked a 47-
yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining to

give the NFC-leading Falcons their fifth
straight win.
The Falcons (9-2) have their longest win-
ning streak since 1998 and assured them-
selves of a third straight winning season. Of
course, they have much higher aspirations sit-
ting atop the conference standings with five
weeks to go. Aaron Rodgers guided Green
Bay (7-4) on a 90-yard drive to tie the game
with 56 seconds remaining. He converted a
pair of fourth-down passes, including a 10-
yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson that
made it 17-all.
Vikings 17, Redskins 13
LANDOVER, Md. — Brett Favre was per-
fect on two scoring drives, and Minnesota
won Leslie Frazier’s NFL head coaching
debut despite Adrian Peterson’s early injury.
Favre went 3 for 3 on the Vikings’ opening
possession, which ended with Peterson’s 5-
yard touchdown run. The 41-year-old quarter-
back was 5 for 5 on the first drive of the sec-
ond half, capped by a 5-yard TD from rookie
Toby Gerhart, who took over after Peterson
left in the second quarter with a bad right
ankle.
Favre scrambled for a first down on third-
and-8 right before the two-minute warning,
then hugged several teammates. Minnesota
(4-7) ended its nine-game road losing streak,
less than a week after firing coach Brad
Childress and promoting Frazier.
Giants 24, Jaguars 20
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli
Manning threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to
Kevin Boss with 3:15 to play and the Giants
rallied to snap a two-game losing streak and
end the Jaguars’ three-game winning streak.
Manning also threw a 26-yard touchdown
pass to Mario Manningham, Lawrence Tynes
kicked three field goals and the defense came
up with three consecutive sacks and a late
turnover with 1:25 to go as the Giants (7-4)
rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit.
Browns 24, Panthers 23
CLEVELAND — John Kasay missed a 42-
yard field goal that grazed the left upright as
time expired, allowing the Browns to escape
and give ex-Panthers quarterback Jake
Delhomme a little satisfaction.
Kasay had a chance to win it for the
Panthers (1-10) after rookie quarterback
Jimmy Clausen drove them to Cleveland’s 25,
completing a beautiful sideline pass to
Brandon LaFell with five seconds left.
After the play was reviewed, Kasay pulled
his kick just wide to the left, ending another
tight game for coach Eric Mangini and the
Browns (4-7), who led 21-7 at halftime.
Bears 31, Eagles 26
CHICAGO — Jay Cutler tied a career high
with four touchdown passes and Chicago took
sole possession of first place in the NFC North.
The win was the Bears (8-3) fourth straight and
put them a game ahead of Green Bay.
Michael Vick and the Eagles (7-4) had won
three straight, but were unable to break off big
plays against one of the league’s stingiest defens-
es and fell into a tie with the Giants for the NFC
East lead. Vick threw for 333 yards and two
touchdowns. But he also threw his first intercep-
tion of the year when he got picked off by Chris
Harris in the end zone late in the first half, stop-
ping a potential go-ahead scoring drive.
Chiefs 42, Seahawks 24
SEATTLE — Matt Cassel threw three
touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe, Jamaal
Monday • Nov. 29, 2010 13
Charles rushed for 173 yards and Kansas City
remained atop the AFC West.
Facing Pete Carroll, his former coach at
Southern California, Cassel threw for 233
yards and four touchdowns. Bowe extended
his streak of games with at least one touch-
down reception to seven straight. The pair
connected on TDs of 7, 36 and 9 yards for
Kansas City (7-4).
Charles added a 3-yard TD run on the first
play of the fourth quarter. Backup defensive
tackle Shaun Smith had a 1-yard TD plunge in
the first half. Seattle quarterback Matt
Hasselbeck threw for 282 yards and two
touchdowns, but was intercepted twice.
Seattle (5-6) has lost four of five.
Ravens 17, Buccaneers 10
BALTIMORE — Joe Flacco threw two
touchdown passes, and Baltimore won a fran-
chise record-tying eighth straight game at
home.
Flacco connected with Todd Heap for a 65-
yard score and hit Derrick Mason for a 10-
yard touchdown during a three-minute span of
the second quarter to stake Baltimore to a 17-
3 halftime lead. Flacco now has 53 career TD
passes, surpassing Vinny Testaverde (51) for
most in Ravens history.
Rams 36, Broncos 33
DENVER — Rookie Sam Bradford threw
for three touchdowns and had his first 300-
yard game as St. Louis escaped with a rare
road win, which came just over a day after the
NFL fined the Broncos and their coach for a
videotaping scandal.
There was more than a smattering of boos
when Broncos embattled coach Josh
McDaniels was introduced before the game.

FIFA more powerful and controversial than ever

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — With control of the
planet’s most popular game, soccer,
and its most important tournament, the
World Cup, FIFA is arguably the most
powerful organization in sports.
Yet heading into Thursday’s selec-
tion of the World Cup hosts for 2018
and 2022, FIFA is under intense
scrutiny following the suspension of
two executive committee members
who were accused of offering to sell
their votes.
“FIFA acts as if they are account-
able to no one,” said Adam Silverstein,
a lawyer who successfully sued the
governing body on behalf of
MasterCard, earning a $90 million set-
tlement three years ago. Soccer “stirs
the passions of people. It transcends
nationality. Everybody in the world
loves soccer and FIFA has a monopoly
on that sport. And so they are able to
exploit that.”
At the same time, FIFA has taken
the World Cup into the Internet age
and transformed it into an event that
stops day-to-day routines all around
the globe. It has used the billions of
dollars in profits to expand soccer’s
reach from beyond its traditional base
in Europe and South America to
become a growth industry followed by
increasing numbers of people in North
America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
“I don’t think we gain our power
because of the World Cup, I think the
power of the World Cup is achieved
because of the fact that we maintain an
organizational structure with 208
members all abiding by the same set
of rules and agreeing to get along and
do things together,” said Chuck
Blazer, the FIFA executive commit-
tee member from the United States.
The U.S., which hosted its first
World Cup in 1994, is competing
against Australia, Japan, Qatar and
South Korea for the right to stage
the tournament in 2022.
Blazer says the global coopera-
tion FIFA has achieved has, in turn,
created unprecedented access to the
World Cup for people everywhere.
“We’re no longer in a world
where, unless you went to Uruguay there was “no criminal behavior.”

United States among seeded

teams for World Cup draw
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFURT, Germany — The United
States is one of the four seeded teams for the
women’s World Cup despite being the last
nation to qualify for next year’s tournament in
Germany.
Host and defending champion Germany is
the top-seeded team in Group A. It will kick
off the tournament against an opponent to be
determined at Monday’s draw in Frankfurt.
Japan heads Group B, the U.S. tops Group C
and Brazil will be the top-seeded team in
Group D.
The Americans, champions in 1991 and
1999, qualified with a 1-0 victory on Saturday
over Italy, winning the home-and-home play-

Chelsea draws at Newcastle;
Inter Milan winning again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Chelsea surrendered the
Premier League lead it held since the opening
day of the season with a 1-1 draw at
Newcastle on Sunday, while Tottenham came
from a goal down to beat Liverpool 2-1 and
help mark a new scoring record.
After Chelsea conceded a sixth-minute
opener to Andy Carroll and needed an equal-
izer from Salomon Kalou in first-half injury
time to avoid a third straight league defeat,
Tottenham’s fifth winning comeback of the
season meant that all 20 Premier League sides
scored over the same weekend for the first
time.
Chelsea now has taken just four of the last
available 15 points and trails new leader
Manchester United by two points.
“We are not happy,” Chelsea coach Carlo
Ancelotti said. “We are happy for the per-
formance, but we didn’t start well. We con-
ceded a goal too early. This made our game
difficult but we reacted well.
“Now we need to keep going, stay focused,
prepare for the next game and try to win.”
United routed Blackburn 7-1 Saturday to
preserve the league’s last unbeaten record and
wipe out Chelsea’s advantage in goal differ-
ence.
That big win helped match a 13-year-old
Premier League record of 41 goals over a
weekend. There could have been a new record
but striker Jermain Defoe failed to equalize
for Tottenham when he put a 60th-minute
penalty past the post.
Martin Skrtel put Liverpool ahead three
minutes before halftime following a ricochet
in the area and then scored a 65th-minute own
goal. Aaron Lennon won it for Tottenham in
injury time with his first goal since Nov. 22,
2009.
Chelsea appears to have lost its sparkling
attacking form of early season and its defen-
sive problems also continued with captain
John Terry sidelined indefinitely.
Chelsea still has the best defensive record
with just 10 goals conceded, but it now leads
third-place Arsenal only on goal difference
and fourth-place Manchester City by three
points.
Tottenham rose to fifth place, a point behind
City, despite losing Rafael van der Vaart and
Younes Kaboul to first half injuries — putting
them on the sidelines with Ledley King,

Harry Potter remains No.1
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A fairy-tale princess
gave young wizard Harry Potter a run for his
money at the weekend box office.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part
1” remained the No. 1 movie with $50.3 mil-
lion over Thanksgiving weekend, closely fol-
lowed by the animated musical “Tangled”
with $49.1 million, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
The next-to-last “Harry Potter” movie
raised its domestic total to $220.4 million
after just 10 days in theaters, according to dis-
tributor Warner Bros. The film also has taken
in $389.2 million overseas, giving it a world-
wide total of $609.6 million.
“Tangled” is the latest Disney cartoon musi-
cal, with Mandy Moore providing the voice of
fairy-tale princess Rapunzel. The movie
raised its five-day total to $69 million since
opening the day before Thanksgiving.
While “Deathly Hallows” continued to
work box-office magic, Disney’s “Tangled”
far exceeded industry expectations, delivering
the second-biggest Thanksgiving debut ever
behind “Toy Story 2,” which had a $57.4 mil-
lion opening.
Disney head of distribution Chuck Viane
said the studio would have been happy if
“Tangled” had matched the $34 million debut
of its hit “Enchanted” over Thanksgiving
2007. “Tangled” not only shot past that mark
but also challenged “Harry Potter” for the No.
1 spot.
“That was the last thing we were thinking
of, but it sure is nice to be even thought of in
that situation,” Viane said. “‘Potter’ is such a
huge hit. To be that close, it was amazing.”
Three other new wide releases had so-so
openings, led by Christina Aguilera and
Cher’s song-and-dance tale “Burlesque” at
No. 4 with $11.8 million for the weekend and
a five-day total of $17.2 million since pre-
miering Wednesday.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway’s
romance “Love & Other Drugs” debuted at
No. 6 with a three-day haul of $9.9 million
and a total of $14 million since opening
Wednesday.
Dwayne Johnson’s action tale “Faster”
opened at No. 7 with $8.7 million for the

weekend and $12.2 million since its
Wednesday debut.
With a $125 million opening weekend,
“Deathly Hallows” had the biggest start yet
for the franchise about the young wizard. Its
10-day total also surpasses the previous high
of $201 million set by “Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire” and last year’s “Harry Potter
and the Half-Blood Prince,” according to
Warner Bros.
“That kind of tells you how big the last
‘Potter’ is going to be,” said Jeff Goldstein,
general sales manager for Warner Bros. “If
you look at films like ‘Lord of the Rings,’
when you get to the last one, anticipation is
just overwhelming.”
“Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” the
final installment, hits theaters
next July.
Despite big business for
“Harry Potter” and
“Tangled,” Hollywood fell
short of the Thanksgiving revenue record set
last year, when “The Twilight Saga: New
Moon” and “The Blind Side” led the box
office.
According to box-office tracker
Hollywood.com, revenues from Wednesday to
Sunday last Thanksgiving totaled $273 mil-
lion, compared to $267 million this season.
“This one was really close. I thought we
might eke out a record,” said Paul
Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for
Hollywood.com.
Other than “Tangled,” the new wide releas-
es did not draw huge crowds, each catering to
a segment of the audience.
Sony’s “Burlesque,” with Aguilera as a
waitress seeking stardom at a Hollywood
musical club, drew women; 20th Century
Fox’s “Love and Other Drugs,” with
Gyllenhaal as a pharmaceutical salesman who
falls for an ailing woman (Hathaway), brought
in date crowds; and CBS Films’ “Faster,” star-
ring Johnson as an ex-con out for revenge,
attracted male action fans.
In limited release, the Weinstein Co. drama
“The King’s Speech” got off to a majestic
start with $349,791 in four theaters in New
York City and Los Angeles. That gave it a
whopping average of $87,448 a theater, com-
pared to $13,628 in 3,603 theaters for
“Tangled.”
“The King’s Speech” stars Colin Firth as
British monarch George VI, father of Queen
Elizabeth II, as he comes to power in 1936
while struggling to overcome a lifelong stam-
mer. The film, which has early Academy
Awards buzz as a potential front-runner, grad-
ually expands to more theaters through the
holidays.

I
t just wouldn’t feel like the holiday
season if I didn’t tell you about hol-
iday hazards. Call me the Grinch,
call me Scrooge, but don’t call me irre-
sponsible. If the advice saves even one or
two pets from a bellyache, a trip to the
emergency clinic or worse, I’ll gladly
take all your bah, humbug comments.
With that, here are a few tips to make
your lives free of a $450 emergency clin-
ic bill piled on the mounting credit card
bills. If you decorate a tree and have pets
in your home, keep the tree’s water stand
covered. Tree stand water is right up
there with toilet bowl water for some
pets. Better than Evian! The pine sap
mixed in the water may improve your
dog’s breath, but can make him very ill,
too. Staying under the tree for a moment,
that box of wrapped See’s candy won’t
fool your dog. Each holiday season, pets
who’ve ingested chocolate end up in
emergency veterinary clinics for treat-
ment to uh, rid their systems of the toxins
and that isn’t pretty. Watching your loved
companion vomit several times is a lousy
way to spend the holidays, even if you’re
looking to do darn near anything to
escape the in-laws. The holidays can be
just as dicey for cats. Make sure your tree
is secure in its stand. Remember that
scene from National Lampoon’s
Christmas Vacation? The Griswolds’ cat
couldn’t resist and paid a dear price for
his curiosity. You may want to avoid tree
tinsel, as it’s enticing to some cats as a
snack. Are your stockings hung by the
chimney with care? Watch what you stuff
in them as they can be easy picking for
your agile cat. Finally, once your decorat-
ing is done, vacuum thoroughly. Even
one stray ornament hook in the carpet
can bring down your holidays.

The tumor would change her life —

Funes found activism, particularly in
wanting support for youth with disabili-
ties.
Funes, a 19-year-old freshman at the
College of San Mateo, is passionate
about disability rights. She’s studying
political science and added international
relations after a trip to Syria this summer
where a group of Americans and Syrian
youth, all with disabilities, brainstormed
to create a Muslim superhero, The Silver
Scorpion.
At 12, Funes had a big decision to
make: Should doctors remove a brain
tumor from her head? Doing so could be
fatal, but not doing it would mean living
San Mateo’s most volatile funding
source has been the property transfer
tax, reaching a high of $10.4 million in
FY 2006-07. The number dropped by 70
percent in just two years, however, to
$3.3 million in FY 2008-09.
Median home prices in San Mateo
have dropped 25 percent since 2007
from a historical high of $781,500 to
about $590,000 this year.
The property transfer tax is forecast to
reach $5.4 million in 2013-14. This year,
the city expects to net about $4 million
from the property transfer tax.
After 2014, staff has capped the prop-
erty transfer tax at $5.4 million regard-
less of how much the city actually nets
from it.
In the past several years, San Mateo
has reduced its budget by more than $15
in constant pain.
“I didn’t want to live in pain any-
more,” she said.
Funes who lives in South San
Francisco but grew up in Redwood City,
had to learn to do many things again
after that. Her left side was weaker and
at times her vision was completely blur-
ry. She had weighed the decision but was
still shocked to wake and find half her
body wasn’t moving. There was a feel-
ing of hopelessness. She endured a
week-long coma before starting to
rebuild the movement skills she had
mastered earlier in life.
Today it’s hard to tell that walking is a
challenge. After long relying on a brace,
Funes now uses a small medical device
called the WalkAide —an iPod-sized
product worn around the calf just below
the knee which uses electrical stimula-
tion to combat foot drop.
She’s also become active in disability
rights work. In high school she joined
the Youth Commission of San Mateo
County, worked with the Commission
on Disabilities, and works with YO!

“The Naked Gun” comedies, has died. He was 84. His agent
John S. Kelly says Nielsen died Sunday at a hospital near his

monia. The Canadian-born Nielsen came to Hollywood in the

a Muslim superhero who happened to
have a disability.
“I always wanted to make a difference
in the world,” she said.
In August, she joined a handful of
American teens and young 20-some-

with disabled individuals from Syria of
similar age in small groups to generate
superhero ideas. The Silver Scorpion, a
Muslim guy who is a double amputee
after a mining accident —was the result.
“A disability is not something to be
ashamed of. Some of the smartest people

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Unless you follow though
on your goal in an orderly manner, there is a strong chance
that you will leave out some kind of small but essential ele-
ment. Don’t gum up the works.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Keep your good intentions
under wraps and don’t volunteer to manage the complicated
affairs of another. If you involve yourself, it could cost you
both money and a huge headache.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Even if your ideas or sugges-
tions are far superior to those of your peers, and you know it,
they’re not likely to be heeded if you offer a weak presenta-
tion. Speak strongly and mean it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You’re in for a big surprise
if you think that others will come behind you and finish the
work you’ve left undone. Your charm can get you a lot of
things, but it can’t do your job for you.
mood of the day. Don’t compound it by turning your nose up
at the jerks. Live and let live.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - If the position you hold is in the
minority, consider the fact that maybe you’re a bit too far out
for most. If you want to get along with people, you’d be smart
to accept their views.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - When it comes to a topic oth-
ers are discussing that affects you, try to hear what is really
being said instead of what you want to hear. They may have
some pearls of wisdom to offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If, in order to gratify a momentary
desire of yours, you ignore your budget and spend money that
you know you shouldn’t, you’ll be sorry later when you won’t
be able to pay for something you really need.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - If you let your normal awareness
for detail and order desert you, it’s likely that you will allow
your judgment calls or important decisions to be based on
faulty premises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Guard against an inclination to
make huge jobs out of what are in reality little ones. If you are
illogical or unmethodical, you will greatly complicate your life
and make yourself miserable.
Previous
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - That intense nature of yours
won’t give you much room to be tolerant with pompous or Sudoku
arrogant individuals. Avoid gatherings where you know just

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It isn’t likely to be anything

such types will be in attendance. answers

Israel OKs detention HOPE
center for migrants
By Amy Teibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel’s Cabinet voted
Sunday to erect a massive detention facility to
hold thousands of Africans who have slipped
illegally through the porous southern border
with Egypt, heating up a debate over how to
handle their mounting numbers.
Critics accuse Israel of trying to turn away
bona fide refugees and predicted the facility,
which will be designed to hold up to 10,000
detainees, would become a squalid refugee
camp. The Cabinet minister in charge of pris-
ons said correctional authorities were ill-
equipped to run the facility.
But other officials said authorities cannot let
thousands of economic migrants enter illegally
each year, take jobs from Israelis and dilute the
country’s Jewish character.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his
Cabinet before the vote that the proposed cen-
ter is part of a multi-pronged approach that will
include construction of a barrier along thinly
patrolled areas of the 130-mile (220-kilometer)
Israeli-Egyptian border, which began last
week, and heavy fines on people who employ
illegal workers. The barrier is also designed to
keep out militants.
“We have to stop this growing influx that
threatens Israelis’ jobs and changes the charac-
ter of the state,” said Netanyahu, who later vis-
ited the border area where the fence is being
constructed.
Refugees would not be turned away. And the
center, where the migrants would be housed,
fed and receive medical care, would be a
“humanitarian solution” for dealing with them
WORLD/LOCAL
until they are repatriated or
sent to a third country, he
said. The facility is to be
completed in six months.
“This is really a national
mission. The influx of
labor immigrants threatens
the social fabric of the
entire country,” said
Defense Minister Ehud
Benjamin
Netanyahu Barak, during a tour of the
border fence area.
According to government estimates, about
13,000 Africans will illegally enter Israel this
year, joining more than 20,000 others who
came between 2006 and 2009.
Without government intervention, the number
could reach 30,000 a year by 2015, Cabinet secre-
tary Tzvi Hauser told Israel Radio on Sunday. In
addition to the African migrants, there are about
120,000 foreign workers with expired visas now in
Israel, working illegally, the government and
activists say.
Most migrants come from Eritrea, Sudan
and other impoverished and conflict-ridden
African countries. Human rights workers say
the Africans appear to be racing to cross the
border before Israel completes the border
fence.
Officials say most migrants come looking
for work and have become absorbed into the
country’s sizable illegal work force. They often
earn extremely low wages and live in abom-
inable conditions.
But human rights workers say most are not
economic migrants. Sigal Rozen of the Hotline
for Migrant Workers accused officials of not
reviewing applications for political asylum.

both Jimmy and Dori to start planning for a
better future. Dori found an administrative job
and Jimmy is attending school in hopes of
teaching life skills to young adults and teens.
They’ve been able to save some cash and hope
to find their own place by mid January.
“I think the biggest thing people should
know is that there is help out there. They are
not alone,” said Jimmy. “There is help as long
as you’re committed to helping yourself.”
The Davenports are far from alone.
Homelessness has increased locally. And for
many, like the Davenports, it’s a first-time
experience, said Chris Canter, director of
development for Shelter Network.
“Probably the most startling have been the
number of calls we have receiving from peo-
ple asking for help. Two years ago, Shelter
Network was receiving about 100 calls per
week for help. That number of weekly calls
skyrocketed to more than 1,000 last year and
has even topped 2,000 at points recently. The
calls have not only been from people who are
homeless, but from those who are anticipating
becoming homeless,” he said.
MIXED
Continued from page 1
has increased 18 percent between June 2008
and June 2010 but the median price dropped
nearly the same amount — 17 percent. The
median price in 2008 was $880,000 but in June
of this year was $730,000. As a result, proper-
ty tax revenues have declined from an average
of 7 percent growth in the last five years to -1
percent in the last fiscal year. At this rate, they
are projected at between zero and 3 percent
through fiscal year 2014 to 2015.
The county’s median family income is
slightly up, $101,504 in 2008 from $97,137 in
2007.
Monday • Nov. 29, 2010 27
Despite increased numbers, 93 percent of
families who completed transitional housing
programs in the last year returned to stable
housing within 100 days on average.
“The Davenports are just one of the over
900 families that Shelter Network has helped
this past year.” says Michele Jackson, Shelter
Network’s Executive Director.
Donations are always welcome to the
organization, which this holiday season seems
to be focusing on necessities, said Volunteer
Manager Lynnelle Bilsey.
Donations of warm clothes, sleep wear,
underwear, socks, shoes, rain gear and house-
hold staples like pots, pans, bedding (twin and
full size), diapers and baby wipes are needed.
Gift cards, which allow people to purchase
their own items, are also appreciated.
For more information about Shelter
Network visit www.shelternetwork.org.
Donations can be dropped off at any of the
shelter locations including 325 Villa Terrace
in San Mateo; 1580A Maple St. in Redwood
City; 260 Van Buren in Menlo Park; 415 E.
Second St. in San Mateo; 110 Locust St. in
Redwood City; 1450 Chapin Ave. in
Burlingame; 50 Hilcrest Drive in Daly City.
Hours vary but most allow donations on week
days.
Personal tax revenue — 85 percent of which
comes from business at San Francisco
International Airport — did increase but in a
much smaller amount than previous years.
The revenue for the last fiscal year showed a
4.4 percent increase compared to the 11.5 per-
cent jump in fiscal year 2008 to 2009.
Like other counties in California, San
Mateo is also faced with balancing increasing
costs with decreasing sales tax.
For San Mateo County, which is working to
stave off a $124 million structural deficit,
every little bit counts and Huening, in his
report, notes that officials must find longer
term solutions.
