Shifty budgets strain schools

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Planning ahead for local school
budgets will mean larger class sizes,
multi-million dollar reductions and
hope that the new state leadership
has solutions to avoid more bad
news.
Students filled classrooms months
before California had a budget in
place, leaving districts to create
their own budgets based on guesses
State finances changing,leaving education in the lurch
rather than solid numbers. Since the
state budget’s adoption, California’s
estimated deficit has grown. Add the
election of Jerry Brown to replace
Arnold Schwarzenegger as gover-
nor and districts are faced with
planning their multi-year budgets
with little information. As such,
contingency plans going before
local boards this month show
chances of large salary reductions
and increased class sizes in hopes of
keeping budgets in the black.
School districts must submit
budget updates at various times
throughout the year, with December
being the first required report. To be
positively certified, a district must
show a three-year plan that proves
solvency. Not meeting this mark
could result in mandatory mid-year
cuts.
Thus far, the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District is
the one to watch. The district’s cur-
rent $62.5 million budget includes a
$5.9 million deficit. That shortage
will continue in the coming years,
according to the first interim budget
approved by the board Thursday,
meaning $9.1 million in cuts will be
needed before the 2012-13 fiscal
year. Talks to address this hole
should begin next month.

LOS ANGELES — Performers in
two overseas crime dramas won support-

Facebook tale “The Social Network”
earned two prizes Sunday.
Jacki Weaver was named best support-
ing actress Sunday as the menacing
matriarch of a Melbourne crime clan in
Australia’s “Animal Kingdom. The run-
ner-up was Olivia Williams for the
thriller, “The Ghost Writer.”
posers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
shared the award for best musical score
with Alexandre Desplat for “The Ghost
Writer.”
The runner-up for best screenplay was
David Seidler for “The King’s Speech.”
Along with the New York Film Critics
Circle, which announces its winners
Monday, the Los Angeles reviewers’
awards are among the key critical picks
that help single out potential favorites on
the buildup to the Academy Awards.
“The King’s Speech” and “The Social
Network” are considered the front-run-
ners by many awards watchers.
Top critics groups usually pick differ-
ent films, though 2009’s “The Hurt
Locker” preceded its best-picture win at
the Oscars with the same honor from the
Los Angeles and New York groups,
along with the National Society of Film
Critics.
Critics’ awards also tend to go to
smaller, even obscure films, though the
Los Angeles group went mainstream
two years ago and gave its best-picture
prize to the animated blockbuster
“WALL-E.”

The bicycle revolution
I
n 1820, a two-wheeled wooden “walk-
ing machine” was invented in Europe. It
was more a sitting scooter than a bicycle
but it was the first step in what was to become
a revolutionary machine by the late 1800s.
It took a few years before a 60-inch wheel
and a “crank” drive with pedals was put on the
front wheel and this walking machine had
become all the rage of those who could afford
one. It was found to be a dangerous machine
you had to push up to speed before you could
mount a seat from the rear. The huge front
hard rubber tire was difficult to steer and the
balance was none too steady, but it was fun to
drive once you got on it. Enterprising individ-
uals in Coventry, England reduced the size of
the large 60-inch wheel, put the seat forward
enough to change the center of balance of the
machine and, even though the hard tires were
uncomfortable while riding it, the machine
was more manageable and more fun. It
became an instant success throughout Europe.
The San Francisco Examiner reported in a
1895 newspaper article that the first bicycle
owner on the West Coast of the United States
was Col. Ralph de Clairmont who imported it
from Paris in 1876. In 1877, G. Loring
Cunningham then imported an English bike.

HISTORY COLLECTION
The Ricci family built unique bicycles.
The fad of the bicycle was catching on. Soon
great numbers were being imported from
Coventry, England. This new contraption
began being rented by the dozens at the east
end of Golden Gate Park. At first, only the rich
could afford to buy or rent these bikes but, as
more became available, the entire public

could afford one.
With the invention of the pneumatic tire by
John Boyd Dunlop in 1888, the bicycles
became very comfortable and this invention
attracted many who desired comfort while
biking. Then the “free wheel” was invented
allowing the individual to “coast” rather than
pumping all the time. By 1905, coaster brakes,
Derailleur gears and hand-operated cables for
the brakes became available. The simple
“coaster” of the early 1800s had now become
a “mainstream” vehicle for the masses.
Although not everybody could or did master
the rudiments of bicycle riding, everybody
was at least trying to ride the bicycle. The
thrill of the first ride on the bike gave such
sensation that even though you lay on the
ground after the first failed try, pride and
determination urged you back onto the
machine. Training wheels were not in vogue
for most and it took some a few tries before
the center of gravity was found and the
machine became a part of your body. Turning
usually caused anxiety but once leaning into a
turn with the handlebars moving was mas-
tered, riders felt free — free to go anywhere at
any time.
In addition to the “social revolution” the
bicycle created in the 1800s, the invention of
ball bearings, pneumatic tires as well as chain-
driven sprockets and spoke-tensioned wheels
laid the foundation for the next great revolu-
tion in transportation — the automobile.
The bicycle was continually evolving
because of its fascination with the public. It
became a revolutionary machine that offered

Suspect in Hillsdale
carjacking arrested
An East Palo Alto man was arrested
Friday in connection with a Nov. 14
San Mateo carjacking and high-speed
chase that began at the Hillsdale
Shopping Center, police said.
Almost a month ago, the victim
was confronted by a man with a
semi-automatic handgun in the
upper parking lot above the shop-
ping center’s Sears department
store, according to police.
The suspect took off in the vic-
tim’s car, but the victim immediate-
ly called San Mateo police, who
located the vehicle in the area of the
carjacking but were unsuccessful in
stopping the suspect.
Instead, the suspect entered the
freeway and fled from police at
speeds in excess of 100 mph, and
police disengaged from the pursuit
“due to public safety concerns.”
The vehicle was later recovered
abandoned, and the suspect
remained outstanding while police
worked for nearly a month before
several leads caused them to identi-
fy 18-year-old Jorge Hernandez as a
suspect in the carjacking.
Hernandez was arrested Friday in
Redwood City without incident and
was booked into San Mateo County
Jail on suspicion of carjacking and
felony evasion.
Police are reminding residents to
be mindful of their surroundings
and to contact police if they witness
suspicious activity.
During the holiday season, police
said they will continue to conduct
high profile patrols of all shopping
areas in San Mateo “to provide the
safest possible environment” for
shoppers, visitors, and residents.
Robbery victim tasered
A home was allegedly robbed and
one of its residents was injured by a
Taser during the robbery Friday night
in South San Francisco, police said.
Three male suspects entered a
home on the 2200 block of Kenry
Way at about 10:45 p.m., South San
Francisco police said.
The suspects confronted two
female residents of the home and
demanded to know the location of a
third male resident, police said.
When the females denied know-
ing the location of the male, a sus-
pect used a Taser on one of the resi-
dents. She sustained minor injuries
and was later treated at a local hos-
pital, police said.
The suspects stole an undeter-
mined amount of property from the
home. No arrests have been made,
police said.
Anyone with information on this
case is requested to call South San
Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.

only in the past month or so have they can’t spend much time with
their kids and some youngsters say
they are tempted into gang life by a
sense of companionship missing
from their own family.
“The most difficult thing is to have
control of the kids,” said Socorro
Gonzalez, a housekeeper who was
ordered to a recent class after her
son, a member of the San Fer gang,
got into trouble. “When I come
home, I don’t know what they have
been up to.”
At the class last month with six
parents, an instructor speaking in
Spanish flashed images of drug
paraphernalia and showed pictures
of addicts before and after they
acquired their habit. At a later ses-
sion, another instructor outlined
classic warning signs of gang
involvement — tattoos, secretive
behavior, sudden changes in musical
tastes and the use of gang hand sig-
nals.

attended one of the first classes,
which was held on two consecutive
Saturdays at a high school in the San
Fernando Valley. Their 16-year-old
son had been accused of spraying
graffiti when police arrested him at a
party attended by gang members.
In addition to sentencing him to
one year’s probation, community
service and counseling, the judge
ordered the parents to attend the
class, where they heard about tough
legal penalties levied against gang
members and how they could get
more involved in their kids’ lives.

Stanford law students appeal three-strike cases

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly 15
years after sentencing, an inmate is
getting an unexpected chance at
freedom — and the judge a shot at
redemption.
Students at Stanford Law School’s
novel Three Strikes Project, which
has successfully overturned 14 life
prison terms handed down for non-
violent crimes under California’s
unforgiving sentencing law, are
joined by an unusual coalition in
their latest bid. The county judge
and prosecutor who sent Shane
Taylor behind bars for 25-years-to-
life in 1996 now want to help set
him free.
His public defender at trial is also
supporting Taylor’s plea for a
reduced sentence by conceding he
failed to mount an adequate defense.
Taylor’s offenses: two burglary
convictions when he was 19, and a
third conviction for possessing about
$10 worth of methamphetamine.
Under California’s three-strikes
law, any third felony can earn a
repeat offender a minimum sentence
of 25 years in prison. It’s a law 26
states and the federal government
have some variation of, but none is
more punitive than California’s.
In response to the law, renowned
defense attorney Michael Romano
co-founded the Three Strikes clinic
at Stanford in 2006.
He said he believes that too often
the law fails to distinguish the vio-
lent career criminal from bum-
bling, drug addicted defendants
who are sent away for at least 25
years for a nonviolent felony con-
viction.

unlimited opportunities to the world when the
main means of transportation on land was
walking, horseback and carriage riding. It
became a very inexpensive means of trans-
portation that liberated thousands from the
confines of the city. Susan B. Anthony called
it the “freedom machine” for women. In the
days when dresses and skirts flowed to the
ankles and restricted their movement, this
machine led to more rational dress for
women. The “bloomer” was invented for
women and became a necessary part of her
dress if she desired to ride the bike. The orig-
inal bikes were designed for men and until the

Cycling clubs sprung up everywhere. Tours
were arranged for thousands of people who
had never left the city before. It became a
great commute vehicle that utilized little
space in the city apartments. General delivery
businesses sprung up, races were set up for
the fast crowd.
Due to the unique anatomy of the male and
the difficulty of riding the bicycle comfort-
ably for long distances, Charles Bennett’s
Bike Web was invented. This eventually
became called the “jock strap.”
The bicycle was found to be extremely effi-
cient to ride and it’s been found that the car-
bon dioxide generated by the bicycle is less
than 1/10th that of the most efficient automo-

Foes of tax cut plan see it passing

By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The White
House expressed confidence
Sunday that President Barack
Obama’s deal with Republicans will
pass by year’s end, averting a Jan. 1
increase in income taxes for nearly
all Americans, even the highest
earners. In a sign of fading resist-
ance, a Democratic leader said the
lame-duck House will try to make
changes, but won’t block the bill.
Ahead of a test vote in the Senate
on Monday, Obama adviser David
Axelrod predicted the president’s
compromise deal would win out
despite a tougher sell in the House.
Majority Democrats, who lose con-
trol of the House to Republicans in
January, voted last week not to
allow it to reach the floor without
changes to scale back relief for
wealthy estates.

Payroll tax cut worries
Social Security advocates
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama’s plan to cut pay-
roll taxes for a year would provide
big savings for many workers, but
makes Social Security advocates
nervous that it could jeopardize
the retirement program’s finances.
The plan is part of a package of
tax cuts and extended unemploy-
ment benefits that Obama negoti-
ated with Senate Republican lead-
ers. It would cut workers’ share of
Social Security taxes by nearly
one-third for 2011. Workers mak-
ing $50,000 in wages would get a
$1,000 tax cut; those making
$100,000 would get a $2,000 tax
cut.
The government would borrow
about $112 billion to make Social
Security whole. Advocates and
some lawmakers worry that rely-
ing on borrowed money to fund
Social Security could eventually
force it to compete with other fed-
eral programs for scarce dollars,
leading to cuts.
Social Security taxes “ought to
be held sacrosanct,” said Rep. Earl
Pomeroy, D-N.D., chairman of the
House Ways and Means subcom-
mittee on Social Security.
“When you start to signal that
the (Social Security) tax levels are
negotiable, you end up in long-
term trouble, I think, in terms of
making absolutely certain that the
entitlement funding streams are
secure,” Pomeroy said.

Sunday, closing major highways in
several states, canceling more than

Vikings’ stadium.
At least four weather-related
deaths were reported as the storm
system dropped nearly 2 feet of
snow in parts of Minnesota and
marched east. A blizzard warning
was in effect Sunday for parts of
eastern Iowa, southeastern
Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois
and northern Michigan, according
to the National Weather Service.
Surrounding areas, including
Chicago, were under winter storm
warnings. Much of Iowa was under
a wind-chill advisory.
In Minneapolis, the heavy snow
left the Metrodome decidedly
unready for some football. Video
inside the stadium aired by Fox

roof sagging before it tore open,
dumping massive amounts of snow
across one end of the playing field.
No one was hurt but the Vikings’

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
Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free!

els is so disturbing, it
makes one lose their faith in our
form of government. That is,
except for local government. There
is something special about how the
community can connect with its
local officials and vice versa. We
saw that recently in the San Bruno
gas explosion which brought out
the best in neighbors and local gov-
ernment staff throughout the coun-
ty. It is also on display at the good-
natured and orderly rotation of city
officials, during which one coun-
cilmember takes his or her turn as
mayor without the rancor or
behind-the-scenes deal-making of
colleagues. This is a tradition we
should be proud of in San Mateo
County. In other places, especially
when there is no accepted rotation-
al process for choosing a mayor, it
can get ugly.
These good feelings and sense of
community were on display last
Monday when Kevin Mullin took
his place as South San Francisco’s
new mayor. He was sworn in by his
father, Gene Mullin, who also
served as South San Francisco
mayor before he moved on to the
state Assembly. Before Kevin had a
chance to take the oath, his dad
told the story of how 26 years ago

was very much family night in the
social room of the Municipal
Services Building which had been
spruced up with floral decorations
thanks to a dedicated staff. There
were so many photographers snap-
ping pictures, one felt that they
were at a wedding or other major
social event rather than a council
swearing-in session. The communi-
ty was out in full force including
some elected officials from other
towns, including Community
College Trustee Richard Holober of
Millbrae; San Mateo Union High
School Trustee Dave Pine of
Burlingame; Supervisor Adrienne
Tissier of Daly City; and former
Millbrae mayor and county super-
visor Mary Griffin.

his city: dedication to the commu-

work of friends which extended

The City/County Association of
Governments celebrated its 20th
birthday last Thursday. The organi-
zation includes representatives
from every city in the county (usu-
ally the mayor) and a representative
from the Board of Supervisors. It’s
an amazing group which has pio-
neered several award-winning land
use and transportation projects: a
national award for its housing
incentive program and a regional
award for ramp metering. C/CAG
shows what a county or region can
accomplish through collaboration
rather than just self interest. If only
Sacramento or Washington could
take a clue from this collection of
local governments and get it right.
***
On the other hand, a less stellar
example of local government was
reported last week when the Board
of Supervisors rejected the San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury’s
recommendation to save money on
car allowances. The Daily Journal
reported that 69 employees includ-
ing members of the Board of
Supervisors, department heads and
legislative aides receive a bi-week-
ly car allowance of an average of
$397. The grand jury suggested the
county could save $1.7 million
annually by reimbursing employees
and elected officials who drive their
own cars at 55 cents per mile rather
than maintaining its 741-vehicle
fleet and paying a set amount. The
county manager’s response was
that the savings wouldn’t make a
dent in the budget deficit and mak-
ing the change wasn’t worth it. Not
what the frugal-minded public
wants to hear these days.

ated leading to global warming.

Will Main Street buy stocks?
By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The fear that kept
small investors from participating in one
of the greatest bull markets in history
may be losing its grip.
The White House reached a tentative
deal with Republican leaders last week
to cut taxes. Economists are raising their
estimates for economic growth, and job-
less claims have fallen 15 percent from a
year ago. The monthly trade report
released Friday showed surging demand
for American products, and the
University of Michigan’s December
consumer sentiment index reached its
highest point since June. There’s even
good news about two symbols of Wall
Street recklessness. The government
sold its last stock in Citigroup Inc. on
Tuesday and could do the same soon
with its stake in American International
Group Inc.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index
closed at 1,240 Friday, surpassing the
level from before the financial meltdown
in September 2008. And a survey by the
American Association of Individual
Investors showed the number of people
bullish about stocks outnumbering those
bearish by the widest margin in more
than three years.
“There was this widespread expecta-
tion six months ago that we were going
to have a double dip recession,” says
Steven Bleiberg, manager of the Legg
Mason Lifestyle funds. “That whole
mindset has petered out.”
Arnold Espe, the bullish manager of
USAA’s Cornerstone Strategy Fund,
predicts investors next year will put
more money into U.S. stock mutual
funds than they take out for the first time
since 2006. Says Espe: “We’re setting up
for a pretty good market.”
Trying to guess what individual
investors will do next is difficult, and the
optimists could be dead wrong. There
are plenty of reasons investors might
balk at buying U.S. stocks, not least an
unemployment rate of 9.8 percent. But if
Espe is right, the market could rise
smartly. Optimism about stocks can feed
on itself. If small investors put back into
the market even a fraction of the tens of
billions that they took out in the past
year, it could set off a virtuous cycle of
buying.
One sign that stocks may soon attract
money: Though investors pulled $500
million more from U.S. stock mutual
funds than they put in last month, the
pace of withdrawals is slowing, accord-
ing to fund tracker Strategic Insight. As
recently as September, investors took out
a net $15 billion.
Small investors could turn to stocks
soon because the alternative — bonds —
don’t look so safe anymore. For most of
the year, small investors have used the
billions they’ve withdrawn from stocks
to buy bonds. The thinking was that
bonds were safer because the principal is
guaranteed. It’s been a good move.
Though the S&P has risen 11 percent
since the beginning of the year, some
bonds have done better. So-called junk
bonds from highly indebted U.S. compa-
nies have gained 16 percent and bonds
from emerging markets, 14 percent,
according to Barclays Capital.
But now doubts about bonds are
creeping in.
Fear is rising that an improving econ-
omy will stoke inflation that could eat
into bond returns. Inflation sends bond
prices down sharply because the princi-
pal won’t buy as much when returned if
prices rise.

Lawmakers press China ahead of talks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — American lawmakers are
pressing China for action on currency and
high-tech trade in talks this week, and a
planned Washington visit by President
Hu Jintao next month has raised hopes
Beijing might offer concessions.
The meeting of the U.S.-China Joint
Commission on Commerce and Trade on
Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington
comes as Beijing faces rising congres-
sional pressure over its swollen trade sur-
plus. The U.S. House of Representatives
has approved a measure to allow
Washington to punish currency manipula-
tion and the Senate is considering it.
Both sides are likely hoping for a “suc-
cessful meeting with some deliverables”
ahead of Hu’s arrival in Washington in
January, said Christian Murck, president
of the American Chamber of Commerce
in China.
“Because of the timing, expectations
are higher,” Murck said.
A group of 32 U.S. senators, both
Democrats and Republicans, wrote to the
chief Chinese envoy, Vice Premier Wang
Qishan, ahead of the meeting to press for
action on a list of chronic irritants.
They cited Beijing’s failure to stamp
out rampant product piracy and com-
plaints that its currency controls keep its
yuan artificially weak, giving China’s
exporters an unfair price advantage and
wiping out U.S. jobs.
They also appealed for an end to
Beijing’s “indigenous innovation” policy,
under which the communist government
is trying to nurture domestic technology
companies by favoring them in official
procurement. Business groups complain
that could shut foreign suppliers out of
fast-growing markets for computers and
other goods.
Beijing promised more exchange rate
flexibility in June but the yuan has
strengthened by only about 3 percent
against the dollar since then. Chinese offi-
cials have rejected a faster rise, saying
that would lead to huge job losses.
Chinese envoys might be looking for
ways to placate American critics but con-
cessions are likely to be limited, said Ren
Xianfang, senior analyst in Beijing for
IHS Global Insight, a consulting firm.

Mark Madoff’s
suicide followed
trustee battle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — For two years, the two sons of jailed finan-
cier Bernard Madoff portrayed themselves as honest whistle-
blowers of their father’s historic fraud. A
court-appointed trustee depicted them as
bungling money managers who did noth-
ing to protect investors.
The suicide of Mark Madoff leaves unan-
swered questions for investors seeking pay-
back for the billions of dollars his father
siphoned — and for criminal investigators
who continued to pursue charging Madoff’s
family for knowing participation in the fraud.
The 46-year-old Madoff — Bernard Mark Madoff
Madoff’s eldest son — hanged himself
Saturday by a dog leash on a metal ceiling beam in his
Manhattan loft apartment, his 2-year-old son asleep in anoth-
er room. The death was officially ruled a suicide by hanging
Sunday by the city medical examiner.
He died on the anniversary of his father’s arrest two years
ago in the largest Ponzi scheme ever recorded. It followed the
filing in recent weeks of dozens of lawsuits by trustee Irving
Picard as he pursued billions of dollars in damages against
those who profited from the multi-decade fraud.
Increasingly, Picard has stepped up his language in lawsuits
against those who knew Madoff well, describing an Austrian
banker accused in a lawsuit Friday of being Madoff’s “crimi-
nal soul mate” in her efforts on behalf of Madoff’s fraud.
Last Wednesday, he included the brothers as defendants in an
$80 million lawsuit he brought against the London-based interna-
tional arm of Madoff’s business, saying the overseas operation was
used to siphon off money from the fraud for the Madoff family.

St. Francis stymies Padres in soccer

By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Emilio Huerta had a foot on every
successful ball for St. Francis on
Saturday, helping the Lancers cruise
to a 3-1 boys’ soccer victory over
host Serra.
The diminutive but delightfully
elusive sophomore had a goal, an
assist and a blistering shot on goal
that set up an easy score off the
rebound, while Serra couldn’t
counter with much more than a
workman-like goal in the second
half to equalize but eventually fade
away as the game wore on.
"We knew we wanted to press
them hard on defense," said St.
Francis coach Mike Salvemini. "We
had a gameplan coming in and the
guys pretty much executed most of
those things we worked on."
The Padres are coming off a West
Catholic Athletic League title from
a year ago, so getting off on the
right foot to league, especially
against the defending champs, was
important to St. Francis, Salvemini
said.
The Lancers got on the score-
board first, when in the 15th minute
Alec Gronberg took a touch pass
from Huerta off a long throw in and
slotted a shot over Serra keeper
Shun Okai. St. Francis seemed to
have its second goal in the 26th
minute, when Ian Leung headed a
ball sent in on a corner kick, but the
referee did not rule it crossed the
line.
Okai was under constant pressure
throughout the contest. He ended
the game with four saves but had
help from more than a few shots
missing by just inches, whether hit-
ting posts or the crossbar. Okai did
have an excellent diving save in the
28th minute to reject a free kick
effort.
Not going down without a fight,
Serra stormed out of halftime to
equalize on a goal in the third
minute by Giancarlo Gavidia. The
tie was short-lived, though, as
Huerta began to assert himself more
in the second half as the field
opened.
“Last year, it was a good experi-
ence,” Huerta said of his freshman
season. “This year it feels easier.”
It also looked easy at times.
In the 12th minute of the second
half, Huerta possessed the ball at
the top right of the box, maneuvered
toward the middle of the field and
then sent a left-footed bouncer just
past Okai and inside the left post.

Smith leads
Niners to win
over Seattle
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A switch
of quarterbacks named Smith did
wonders for San Francisco.
Alex Smith threw for 255 yards
and three touchdowns in a tri-
umphant return to the starting lineup
following a five-game absence, and
the 49ers improved their once-slim
playoff hopes with a 40-21 victory
over the NFC West rival Seattle
Seahawks on Sunday.
The Niners muddled up the ugly
West race even more with a surpris-
ingly lopsided win.
San Francisco (5-8) moved within
a game of division leaders Seattle
(6-7) and St. Louis (6-7). The 49ers
looked much more like the team that
was predicted to win the division
after an unbeaten preseason — not
the bunch that began 0-5.
Matt Hasselbeck went 27 for 42
for 285 yards and two TDs, but
threw four interceptions and lost a
fumble as Seattle had turnovers in
five of six possessions during one
stretch.

Vikings’ stadium
Jones-Drew lifts Jags over Raiders wrecked by snow
By Mark Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — As the
Jacksonville Jaguars trudged into
the locker room down 10 points at
halftime, Maurice Jones-Drew
called an impromptu meeting.
The Jaguars responded even bet-
ter to his motivational speech than
the running back planned.
David Garrard, Rashad Jennings
and Jones-Drew led a barrage of big
plays — just enough to offset
Darren McFadden’s huge day —
and the Jaguars beat the Oakland
Raiders 38-31 Sunday in a wild
game that featured six touchdowns
of at least 30 yards.
Jones-Drew’s halftime words left
an impression, but not because of
the tenor, tone or timing.
“It meant something because it
came from him,” receiver Mike
Sims-Walker said. “He’s not a talk-
ative guy, a loud person. But he felt
like we were letting the game slip
away by doing things we don’t nor-
mally do. He gave us some words
and we listened. We came out and
fed off it.”
The Jaguars (8-5) won for the first
time in franchise history when giv-
ing up 30 points and overcame a
halftime deficit for the first time
since Oct. 18, 2009, against St.
Louis. This one was significant. It
gave Jacksonville five wins in its
last six games and set up a critical
AFC South showdown at
Indianapolis next week.
Jacksonville is a game ahead of
the Colts and can clinch the division
next week with a victory and a loss
by Houston. Jones-Drew might
want to prepare a pregame speech
for that one.
“He let us have it in his own way,
saying, ’Let’s get it going and keep
your heads up,”’ rookie Deji Karim
said.

Two reasons why Newton might
not stay:
• If he’s going to be an early

that off.
• The lingering cloud of an
NCAA investigation into his
recruitment out of junior college is
still hanging over Newton.
The NCAA ruled that his father
tried to get Mississippi State to pay
for Newton to play for the Bulldogs.
There was no evidence Newton
knew what his father did or that
Auburn was involved, so he was
allowed to keep playing. But the
case is not closed.
Stanford quarterback Andrew
Luck, who finished second to
Newton in the Heisman voting, is
also facing a stay-or-go-decision as
a third-year sophomore.

Navratilova’s appetite returned. She
said she hadn’t been hungry for four
days, though at first she thought it
may have been an intestinal issue
after eating bad fish Sunday.

Spurs beat Blazers RAIDERS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan left the bench and headed
toward the scorer’s table midway through the fourth quarter.
Surely, the San Antonio Spurs were in trouble and calling on
their All-Star bedrock to once again save them.
Not really.
Duncan had eight points and 13 rebounds in his 1,000th
career regular-season game, but the Spurs hardly needed him
while cruising to a fifth straight win with a 95-78 victory over
the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
George Hill scored 22 in the fourth straight blowout for the
Spurs, who improved the NBA’s best record to 20-3. They
were well in control when Duncan re-entered the game with
six minutes left to log his fist fourth-quarter appearance in
four games.
So what was the deal, anyway?
“I think (coach Gregg Popovich’s) philosophy this year is
to try not to play me in the fourth quarter at all, whether we’re
winning or losing,” Duncan said. “I think he thinks our team
is better without me out there. I’ve been trying to disprove
him at some point.”
Wesley Matthews scored 17 points for the Trail Blazers,
whose winning streak was halted at four games. LaMarcus
Aldridge scored 16 and Marcus Camby added 11 points and
13 rebounds.
The Trail Blazers lost for the first time since ending a
demoralizing six-game skid that included a players-only
meeting, coach Nate McMillan saying his team wasn’t
“responding to him” and Aldridge and others publicly sup-
porting their head coach.
Portland, while disappointed, took this loss much easier.
“I thought we, as a unit, were staggered,” McMillan said.
“We didn’t have the movement and they were physical and
trying to disrupt the timing.”

McFadden did his part to keep
Oakland in the game. He had a 67-yard
TD reception, a 51-yard scoring run and
a 36-yarder that tied the game at 31 with
1:53 remaining.
But Karim returned the ensuing kick-
off 65 yards, and Jones-Drew went
untouched on the next play for a 30-yard
score. Jones-Drew could have gone
down at the 1-yard line and taken some
time off the clock — like he did against
the New York Jets last year — but he
wanted the touchdown.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been
in there,” said Jones-Drew, who had his
sixth consecutive 100-yard game.

Garrard completed 11 of 22 passes for
159 yards and tied Mark Brunell’s fran-
chise record with his 20th TD pass of the
season. Jones-Drew ran 23 times for 101
yards, and Jennings carried five times
for 109 yards.
The Raiders dominated the first half,
outscoring the Jaguars 17-7 and gaining
twice as many yards. They got a nearly
flawless performance from Campbell,
who had a perfect passer rating in the
first 30 minutes.
But Jacksonville turned things around
with three touchdowns in the third quar-
ter. Garrard threw a perfect deep pass to
Jason Hill for a 48-yard score, Jennings
ripped off his big run and then Garrard
found Mike Sims-Walker in the corner
of the end zone for a 10-yarder.

they remain “committed to finding a solu-
tion in Minnesota.”
The Vikings previously pledged roughly
one-third of the cost for a new stadium,
estimated at $700 million or far more
depending on the model and the site, but
they’ve had difficulty getting traction on
public funding to pay for the rest.
Gov.-elect Mark Dayton stopped by the
Metrodome Sunday morning to “make a
quick assessment for future decisions,” his
spokeswoman Katie Tinucci said, without
elaborating. She said Dayton wanted to
thank the workers for their cleanup efforts,
and he described the scene inside as
“eerie.”
Tinucci said it was too early for Dayton
to comment on how the collapse could
affect the team’s desire for a new stadium,
but Dayton supported the concept during
his campaign. He has said he’d support a
stadium proposal if the public benefits out-
weigh the public’s cost, without being spe-
cific.

position and all the momentum. Garrard
and Sims-Walker then hooked up on
third-and-goal.
“Heck of game, just too many big
plays defensively,” Raiders coach Tom
Cable said. “We gave up too many. The
turnover on the kickoff return was big. I
think just those two things were the dif-
ference in the game.”
The Jaguars looked as though they
would seal the victory with defense. But
Will Middleton’s helmet-to-helmet con-
tact on Campbell negated a fumble that
was returned for a touchdown. Kyle
Boller briefly replaced Campbell and
threw an interception to end the drive.
Jacksonville punted, though, and
McFadden came up huge again. He
broke a tackle and scampered up the
middle for the tying score. He finished
with 123 yards rushing, 86 yards receiv-
ing and three scores. It wasn’t enough to
overcome Jones-Drew’s speech or
Jacksonville’s big plays.
“It’s very frustrating,” McFadden said.
“A game like that it don’t mean nothing
if you don’t win.”
NOTES: Campbell was 21 of 30 for
324 yards and two TDs.
There’s a lot of work to be done at the
dome before the next scheduled game on
Dec. 20, considering the scene inside the
cold, darkened stadium following the 5
a.m. collapse.
Snow plopped onto the artificial turf
through a gaping hole above the 30-yard-
line, as a piece of the Teflon-coated fiber-
glass roof roughly 10 yards long flapped in
the wind. It glowed eerily in the sunlight
dangling not far above the field. Speakers
that hang from the roof were still safely
above the seats and the field.
The seats sit low enough that it appears
people would have been out of harm’s way
had the roof fallen during a game
“I don’t see any real impact on the seat-
ing,” MSFC director of facilities and engi-
neering Steve Maki said.
Maki said he was coordinating with the
original manufacturer and installer of the
material, Birdair Inc. of Amherst, N.Y., on
a plan to fix the roof. It has now fallen four
times, all due to heavy snow, since the sta-
dium opened nearly 30 years ago. But the
last time was 27 years ago — when a col-
lapse in April 1983 forced postponement
of a Twins baseball game. Terwilliger said
this was the worst of the collapses.

Brady, Pats pound Bears; Steelers win
CHICAGO — Tom Brady threw
for 369 yards and two touchdowns,
and the New England Patriots
locked up their eighth playoff berth
in 10 years with a 36-7 pounding of
the Chicago Bears on a snowy, blus-
tery, bone-chilling Sunday.
The win was the fifth straight for
the Patriots (11-2), and this one was
no less impressive than their 45-3
rout of the New York Jets on
Monday night. They wasted little
time blowing it open, grabbing a 33-
0 halftime lead and sending coach
Bill Belichick to his 174th career
win. That put him in a tie for 10th
place with Mike Holmgren.
Brady was brilliant again despite
the brutal conditions, picking apart
the league’s third-ranked defense.
He completed 27 of 40 passes and
went without an interception for the
eighth straight game.
Lions 7, Packers 3
DETROIT — Drew Stanton
threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to
Will Heller midway through the
fourth quarter, and Green Bay
couldn’t come back without an
injured Aaron Rodgers.
Detroit (3-10) snapped a five-
game losing streak and a 19-game
skid against the NFC North, the
NFL’s worst slump within a division
since the merger four decades ago.
Green Bay (8-5) lost Rodgers and
a game it desperately needed to win
for playoff positioning. The star
quarterback was knocked out in the
second quarter with his second con-
cussion this season.
Matt Flynn got Green Bay to the
Detroit 31 before turning the ball
over on downs with an incomplete
pass into the end zone just past a
NFL capsules
diving Greg Jennings in the final
minute.
Buccaneers 17, Redskins 16
LANDOVER, Md. — A flubbed
extra point attempt with 9 seconds
to play kept Washington from tying
the game.
The Redskins pulled within a
point on Santana Moss’ 6-yard
touchdown catch, but Nick
Sundberg’s slightly high snap on a
wet field went through holder
Hunter Smith’s hands.
The Buccaneers improved to 8-5
and broke a two-game losing streak.
It was also the fifth time this season
Josh Freeman has won a game with
a fourth-quarter comeback. He hit
Kellen Winslow for a 41-yard scor-
ing pass with 3:47 to play.
Ryan Torain ran for 172 yards for
Washington, 158 in the first half.
The Redskins fell to 5-8 and have
dropped four straight at home.
Steelers 23, Bengals 7
PITTSBURGH — Troy
Polamalu and LaMarr Woodley
returned interceptions by Carson
Palmer for touchdowns as
Cincinnati dropped a franchise
record 10-th straight game.
The Steelers (10-3) couldn’t get
into the end zone on offense despite
dominating time of possession — a
9 1/2-minute drive produced no
points — but it didn’t matter as they
closed in on a playoff spot by play-
ing well enough to beat the Bengals
(2-11).
Palmer threw three interceptions,
two to Polamalu, as Cincinnati
matched the David Shula-coached

1993 Bengals by losing 10 consecu-
tive games in the same season. The
overall franchise record is 11 con-
secutive defeats from 1992-93.
Bills 13, Browns 6
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. —
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw an 11-yard
touchdown pass to David Nelson,
Leodis McKelvin made a late inter-
ception for Buffalo.
Rian Lindell hit field goals of 30
and 19 yards to help the Bills (3-11)
snap a three-game losing streak
against Cleveland.
The Browns (5-8) were eliminat-
ed from playoff contention.
McKelvin intercepted Jake
Delhomme’s pass with under 4 min-
utes left at the Bills 32, and Buffalo
was able to run out the clock.
Delhomme also lost a fumble on
the previous possession, which led
to Lindell’s second field goal.
The Browns’ offense was so
inept, it didn’t cross midfield in five
second-half possessions.
Falcons 31, Panthers 10
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael
Turner ran for 112 yards and three
touchdowns, Matt Ryan threw for
another and Atlanta held onto the
best record in the NFC.
The Falcons (11-2) built a 17-0
halftime lead, survived a brief hic-
cup to start the third quarter, and
cruised to their seventh straight win.
John Abraham and Kroy Biermann
each had two sacks as the Falcons
became the latest team to shut down
the NFL’s worst offense.
Jonathan Stewart rushed for a sea-
son-best 133 yards, but lost a fum-
ble on Carolina’s first play from
scrimmage to set up Atlanta’s first
TD. Things didn’t get much better
for rookie Jimmy Clausen and the
NFL-worst Panthers (1-12), who
dropped their seventh straight.
Dolphins 10, Jets 6
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
The Miami Dolphins turned two
early turnovers into their only
points in winning Sunday at the
rainy Meadowlands.
Much of the game was played in a
downpour, which made for inept
offense in the sloppy conditions.
The Dolphins gained 132 yards,
with Chad Henne passing for only
55, yet improved to 7-6.
The Jets moved the ball better,
picking up 286 yards. But Mark
Sanchez’s fumble led to the only
touchdown, Brandon Marshall’s 6-
yard reception in the first quarter.
Earlier, Nolan Carroll’s intercep-
tion set up Dan Carpenter’s 47-yard
field goal.
By far the most effective player
on the wet field was Dolphins
punter Brandon Fields. He finished
with 10 kicks for a 50-yard average.
Nick Folk kicked field goals of 35
and 42 yards for New York (9-4).
Saints 31, Rams 13
NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees
threw for three scores, Malcolm
Jenkins returned one of his two
interceptions 96 yards for his first
career touchdown, and New Orleans
Saints won its sixth straight game.
Marques Colston had a pair of
touchdown catches in traffic as New
Orleans (10-3) raced to a 14-0 lead
and never trailed. Lance Moore
made a 31-yard touchdown catch.
Brees finished 25 of 40 for 221
yards and was intercepted twice.
Monday • Dec. 13, 2010 15
Rams rookie Sam Bradford
scored the only St. Louis touch-
down on a short keeper. He passed
for 231 yards and was intercepted
twice, both times near the Saints’
goal line.
Bradford’s first interception was
especially costly, giving the Saints a
21-6 lead when it appeared the Rams
(6-7) were about to pull within one
score late in the second quarter.
Chargers 31, Chiefs 0
SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers
threw two touchdown passes to
Malcom Floyd and San Diego
remained alive in the AFC West
race.
The Chiefs played without quar-
terback Matt Cassel, who didn’t
travel after having an emergency
appendectomy Wednesday.
The four-time defending division
champion Chargers (7-6) pulled
within one game of the Chiefs (8-5).
Cassel’s backup Brodie Croyle
completed 7 of 17 passes for 40
yards and was sacked four times in
his first start since the 2009 opener.
Rivers was 18 of 24 for 226 yards
and the Chargers outgained the
Chiefs 426 yards to 67. Kansas City
had only five first downs.
It was San Diego’s first regular-
season shutout against the Chiefs.
Cardinals 43, Broncos 13
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jay Feely
became the fourth kicker in 40 years
to run for a touchdown and added a
career-best five field goals to help
Arizona end a seven-game losing
streak.
Arizona rookie quarterback John
Skelton completed 14 of 36 for 141
yards with no interceptions.

Akron wins NCAA soccer title

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA BARBARA — Akron’s
victory over Louisville in the
NCAA Division I men’s soccer
championship game was a year in
the making.
“It’s been a long journey,” Akron
coach Caleb Porter said after the
Zips’ 1-0 victory Sunday. “It started
Dec. 14 after a bitter loss, a painful
loss.”
The Zips (22-1-2) won the title —
their first in NCAA competition in
any sport — a year after losing the
College Cup final to Virginia in a
shootout after a scoreless draw.
“They were hungry all year,”
Porter said. “They dug deep to win
games. I’m proud of the win. I’m
equally proud of the way our guys
play the game.”
Scott Caldwell ended Akron’s
frustration in the 78th minute, scor-
ing on a 15-yard shot after
Louisville defense blocked his
attempt from the top of the penalty
box. The midfielder has scored all
five of his career goals in the last
seven postseason games.
“Once I got my first one, that gave
me the confidence to go forward,”
Caldwell said. “There’s luck
involved, too. The ball’s been
bouncing my way. That’s what hap-
pened today.”
Louisville (20-1-3) was attempt-
ing to become the first undefeated
team since Santa Clara in 1989.
The Cardinals almost tied it in the
final minute before of a crowd of
9,672 at UC Santa Barbara’s Harder
Stadium. Buck Tufty took a point
blank shot that goalkeeper David
Meves knocked away, then Aaron
Horton cracked the ball back at the
goal, only to have defender Chard
Barson clear it off the line.
“That says something about the
character of our guys,” Louisville
coach Ken Lolla said. “Never say
die, always pressing forward.”
Akron took 19 shots, while
Louisville had 15. The game was
played in bright sunshine with tem-
peratures in the mid-70s. “Our goal
was to stay on the ball as much as
possible in these conditions,” Porter
said. “Stay on the ball, make them
defend. We knew it was going to
come. We knew eventually we
would find the goal.”
Although the Zips possessed the
ball much of the first half,
Louisville made several dangerous
counterattacks. In the eighth
minute, Charlie Campbell fired a
shot Barson saved on the goal line.
Meves made a diving stop on Dylan
Mares’ shot.
After probing the defense in the
first half, the Zips went on the attack
in the final 45 minutes. Darlington
Nagbe fired a shot just wide of the
goal on a breakaway.

‘Narnia’ cruises to No. 1
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The latest chapter in
“The Chronicles of Narnia” saga has sailed to
the top of the weekend box office, though the
franchise sank to a weak debut compared to
the first two movies.
“The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” the
third in the franchise based on C.S. Lewis’
fantasy novels, took in $24.5 million domesti-
cally, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie’s romantic
thriller “The Tourist” opened in second-place
with $17 million.
“Dawn Treader” revenues showed a huge
drop from 2005’s “The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe,” which took in $65.6 million
over opening weekend, and 2008’s “Prince
Caspian,” which did $55 million.
But with the movie topping $80 million in
85 countries overseas, for a worldwide total of
$105.5 million, executives at distributor 20th
Century Fox said they are making good head-
way toward recouping the movie’s budget of
just under $150 million.
“We had a huge task ahead of us to resurrect
this franchise and get movie-goers back to that
feeling of affection they had for the first
movie. I think all the evidence says we’ve
accomplished that,” said Chris Aronson, head
of distribution for Fox, which took over the
“Narnia” series when Disney dropped it after
the second movie finished at $141.6 million
domestically, less than half the $291.7 million
haul of the first. “I think they all had such a
bad taste in their mouth from the last one.
That’s why we really had our work cut out for
us.”
“Dawn Treader” follows the adventures of
some of the Pevensie siblings from the first
two films as they take a magical sea voyage
with their royal pal Caspian. Liam Neeson
again provides the voice of talking lion Aslan.
Sony’s “The Tourist” also had a quiet start.
The film stars Jolie as an Englishwoman who
picks up a mild-mannered American (Depp)
on a train in Europe as a diversion while she’s
on the run from cops and gangsters.
“You have two of the biggest stars in the
world, so expectations could be skewed a bit,”
said Rory Bruer, Sony’s head of distribution.
“But it certainly is a respectable opening.”
The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie,
Disney’s animated musical “Tangled,” slipped
to third-place with $14.6 million, raising its
domestic total to $115.6 million.
Hollywood remains in a lull as it heads into
the Christmas frenzy. Among the movies that
will compete for holiday audiences are Jeff
Bridges’ sci-fi tale “Tron: Legacy,” Robert De

“How Do You Know.”
Overall revenues totaled $94 million, down
3 percent from the same weekend last year,
when “The Princess and the Frog” was No. 1,
according to box-office tracker
Hollywood.com.
“The marketplace is pretty much in a
malaise, unless you’re a specialty or indie film
playing in a limited number of theaters,” said
Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
“Those are really the bright spots in an other-
wise lackluster post-Thanksgiving period.”
In limited release, Natalie Portman’s ballet
drama “Black Swan” expanded to more the-
aters and leaped into the top-10, coming in at
No. 6 with $3.3 million in just 90 cinemas.
That gave it a strong average of $37,024 a the-
ater, compared to $6,892 in 3,555 cinemas for
“Dawn Treader” and $6,168 in 2,756 loca-
tions for “The Tourist.”
Distributor Fox Searchlight expands “Black
Swan” into nationwide release Friday, three
days after the Golden Globe nominations,
where the film is considered a likely con-
tender in acting and other categories.
Portman, also a strong Academy Awards
prospect, plays a ballerina coming unglued
amid the stress of fending off a rival for the
lead in “Swan Lake.”
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale’s boxing
drama “The Fighter” was the latest awards
contender to put up huge numbers in a limit-
ed-release opening. The Paramount film took
in $320,000 in four theaters, averaging a
whopping $80,000.
“The Fighter” stars Wahlberg as real-life
boxer Micky Ward, who overcame harsh fam-
ily conflicts to earn a title shot in his mid-30s
with help from half-brother Dicky Eklund
(Bale), an ex-fighter whose life unraveled
amid crime and crack addiction. The film
expands to wide release Friday.
Disney’s Shakespeare adaptation “The
Tempest,” with Helen Mirren playing the tra-
ditionally male lead of the play, opened mod-
estly with $45,000 in five theaters, for a
$9,000 average.

him or her with a pet! Call me cruel or
heartless. But, if you’re just waiting for
the holidays to pass before you dump the
schlub or schlubette who’s been making
you miserable, you’re not doing anyone a

better than a lame-duck partner. First, this
will help you avoid awkward gift-giving
and holiday party situations. Gee, what do
you get the person you are going to dump
before the tree and decorations come
down? Which gift says “You’re great, just
not great for me!” If you spend too little,
you look cheap and thoughtless and if
you go too big, well, that’s giving a
mixed signal you definitely don’t want to
send. Also, how do you introduce this
person to friends and co-workers at holi-
day parties? “Ladies, meet Bradley ... you
probably won’t see him again unless
you’re trolling Match.com in a few
weeks, and for the record, he’s 5-10, not 6

Caminar has been saving lives in San Mateo County for over 40 years.
Caminar Where Renee has been and where she is at today are so
far apart it wouldn’t be fair – or possible – to measure her
“I was 42. Then one day I realized I was supposed to be here.”
Renee’s nurturing side came out during classes when she helped

Saving progress in steps.

Renee was an abused child and a young teen raising her younger
siblings; she was a daughter whose mother was murdered, a teen
other students. An instructor saw Renee’s talent and sensitivity and
recommended Peer Counseling classes. Renee was excited at the
new courses and completed the program in a year. She was then

Lives! mother, and a drug addict who attempted numerous suicides. How
she became a home owner, matriarch of a healthy family and
longtime San Mateo County employee is as simple as her earlier
hired by and joined the Caminar team as a Job Coach in their Jobs
Plus program. To her role as a Jobs Plus coach, she also added part-
time work with Caminar’s REACH (Recovery, Empowerment, and
A Client’s Success Story . . . life was complicated. Community Housing) program.

Someone cared enough to listen and help. That help brought hope-
triggering a chain of life-saving events. Renee credits much of her
current success to Caminar, a non-profit agency whose programs
provide residential treatment, case management, supported
employment and education, a medication clinic and permanent
housing to adults with severe mental illness in San Mateo County.
Caminar’s services help lead disabled individuals to independent –
rather than dependent - living.
After a chaotic youth, her early adult years were haunted with
memories of her past. She went from college-going wife and
mother to 2 years of drug-dependency and 4 years of homelessness.
Suicide attempts were varied and numerous. She tried to overdose
with Ibuprofen and alcohol; slit her wrists; stood at a bridge’s edge
until she changed her mind. She drove toward a cliff near Hwy 280
before deciding to stay on the road and go straight to a local hospital.
“I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I just wanted to die,”
Renee said. “For 4 years I fell through the cracks. On December
Renee’s life story serves 26, 2000 my life changed- I was asked what was wrong. No one
ever asked or listened to me before. Caminar started helping me
others moving forward
and things started falling into place.”
With the advice of her mental health treatment team, two years
later Renee returned to school. She called Disabled Student
Services at College of San Mateo. “They said they’d be waiting
for me in the parking lot.” It was then Renee was introduced to
Thanks its supporters: Caminar’s Supported Education Program and began attending
classes. “It was tough at first and I was doubtful,” Renee said.
Renee, through her employment, was now providing the type of
support she had once received; helping individuals, with stories
familiar to her own, to gain and maintain meaningful employment,
stable housing and independence.
“I had the most difficult clients,” Renee said. “I said bring it on. It
let me know I can accomplish things. I have a caring spirit. Now I
have the opportunity to care for others.”
Four years ago, Renee took the Civil Service exam, scored 100%
and was one of 16 out of 300 candidates for a job as a Community
Worker Consumer Provider with San Mateo County BHRS; she
now owns a home, has a family and feels accomplished.
“The disadvantaged need someone who is nonjudgmental,” Renee
said. “I know what it’s like. I knew the shame and the stigma. I
look back, it was painful. But with experiences – like attending
Caminar’s Supported Education and working for Caminar – I
am able to help others. Caminar’s team was one of many to give
me courage, hope and determination to claim my life back – a
life better than it was before my crisis. It’s all part of the journey
toward recovery. I’m finally happy with myself.”

disabilities. Approximately 90¢ of every dollar donated goes
directly to support our program services.

million in 2005. For this year, the budget
relies on $4 million of such dollars for its
$23.1 million budget — a move that keeps
classrooms untouched at the moment but
removes a larger capital improvement
plan for Parkside Intermediate School on
hiatus until new funding can be found.
In the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District, meeting
financial needs could mean larger class
sizes next fall. Specifically, kindergarten
through third grade classes are expected to
increase from a student-teacher ratio of
25:1 to 30:1 unless $900,000 in funding
can be secured. California granted school
districts flexibility in class size for a short
period of time, but that ends in the 2012-
13 school year. Belmont-Redwood Shores
plans to return to 25:1, a class size previ-
ously negotiated with teachers; however,
ELECTION
Continued from page 1
The decisions of how and when to
hold the election comes before the Board
of Supervisors at its Tuesday, Dec. 14
meeting. Although Church doesn’t offi-
cially step down until Jan. 3 when he is
sworn in as the new chief elections offi-
cer and assessor-county clerk-recorder,
he has already submitted an irrevocable
letter of resignation effective just one
minute prior. That letter flipped the
switch for the board to call for an elec-
tion within the mandated range of 102 to
131 days. Within that time frame, the
possible Tuesday dates aside from the
regularly established options, are March
29, April 5, April 12 and April 19.

knew coming in he was coming in to
help us,” said Councilman Allan Alifano.
The court settlement is costing the city
$1.2 million a year, which has forced
Half Moon Bay to slash 20 employees
and cut services.
“Beachwood is killing our city right
now,” Alifano said.
In November, Half Moon Bay voters
rejected a 1-cent sales tax, Measure K,
which would have raised $1.4 million
annually for the city.

ed to geology, before going to graduate
school for business. His thesis focused
on the vineyard business. Although he
first went into the food and beverage
industry, Wornick noticed a shift in
Silicon Valley. An area that was one
agriculturally based was switching to
technology. Those getting wealthy from
the change were moving to areas where
they could have property. It was these
people who were consuming wine and
often had an interest in having grapes on
their own property — a social realization
that gave Wornick an idea.
With an Ford F-150 and a business
card, Wornick started knocking on doors
in 1998 offering to create and maintain
vineyards on the land of these individu-
als through his new company Post &
Trellis Estate Vineyards. Part of the serv-
ice came with turning the grapes into
wine for the customers.
“People started loving the wine we
were making for the clients,” said
Wornick.

it will fail to meet the class-size reduction
mandates which should go back into
effect statewide. State standards would
require a 20:1 ratio in those younger
grades, not meeting it could cost the dis-
trict $854,000 in lost state revenue.
Neighboring San Carlos Elementary
School District’s contingency plan is all
about a parcel tax. The district receives
about $1 million annually from Measure
D, a $98 annual parcel tax passed in 2003
set to sunset next year. Without it, the dis-
trict plans to make a 5.4 percent salary
reduction across the board next year.
Planning to renew the tax has been under
way for many months although an elec-
tion has yet to be called.
The Sequoia Union High School
District forecasts having reserves, but
anticipates those funds to decline in the
coming years. Next year, the district
expects to receive $1.8 million in one-
time federal money but anticipates it will
simply cover some, but far from all, of the
state cuts. One noteworthy part of
Sequoia’s plan is delaying payments into a
on the ballot, the Elections Office esti-
mates a $1.6 million price tag.
In comparison, an all-mail ballot is
estimated to cost $1.1 million.
Although the board has yet to make a
formal decision, the wide assumption is
it will take this route. Approximately 43
percent of the county’s registered voters
are permanent absentee, casting ballots
by mail anyway. In the Nov. 2 election,
52 percent of registered voters requested
an absentee ballot and approximately 69
percent of those actually voted.
If the board approves this option, the
final possible Tuesday dates for the
Elections Office to receive a mailed or
dropped-off ballot will be March 29,
April 5, April 12 and April 19. An elec-
tion could also be called for May 3
which is already established by law as a
possible date for all-mail ballots.
Tuesday’s decisions not only establish
the type and time of election but also
“We have to build the city back from
zero, up to what our budget allows,”
Alifano said.
The tax measure failure may force the
city to consider whether to contract with
the county for police services, for
instance.
The next city manager will take over a
greatly-reduced staff that gave up more
than $900,000 in wages and benefits in
the last budget cycle.
The city’s recreation staff has been
reduced by 50 percent, street repairs
have been scrapped, the police depart-
ment has been cut by 20 percent and its
interim police chief is forced to work
part time because of its budget deficit.
The council has been meeting in
closed session to narrow down city man-
Wornick began producing a small
amount of wine on his own with grapes
grown in La Honda. In 2003, production
started in Redwood City. While it’s still
the winery’s home, it has transformed in
that time.
It started as a tin box with custom-
made wine-making materials inside.
Those stopping by inquired about hold-
ing events. Doing so meant making
some changes. Today, the building fea-
tures a bar, nice gift shop, interesting
brick work on the ground and sometimes
a visit from Dulce, assistant winemaker
Colin Colin Mc Nany’s friendly dog.
Events remained the only time the Fair
Oaks location was open to the public
until ’08. Now every third Saturday, the
public is invited to stop in and taste or
enjoy a glass. Sometimes a taco truck
parks in the area offering a delish pairing
to a glass of red.
Cynthia, Wornick’s wife of 23 years
who he met on a blind date, was sup-
portive from the start. The pair, who
have three children — Harry, 21,
Dennis, 19 and Sophia, 17 — work as a
team in business as well. Cynthia over-
sees events, one of the best ways for the
winery to introduce new people to their
product.
special fund to cover retiree costs until
finances improve.
Cuts are definitely in the future for the
Redwood City Elementary School
District, which should be watching the
state’s budget decisions more closely than
other districts. For this year, the district
instituted $7 million in cuts. Unlike neigh-
boring districts, Redwood City has been
unsuccessful in multiple parcel tax efforts
leaving it at the mercy of the state. Should
the current increased state deficit numbers
hold, there could be a need for more cuts
this year. As it stands, Redwood City is
estimating a need to cut next year’s budg-
et by $4 million and the 2012-13 spending
by an additional $3.5 million.
On the plus side, the district is working
with teachers to hire more employees with
one-time federal funds to offset stressful-
ly-large classrooms.

ager hopefuls and Dolder has been
working on a transition plan.
Mayor Marina Fraser praised Dolder
for reorganizing the city during difficult
times.
“He came in during one of the most
challenging few year’s in the city’s his-
tory. He worked night and day,” Fraser
said.
The next city manager will have to be
prepared to “change the way we do busi-
ness,” Fraser said.
Dolder’s last day on the job will be
Dec. 23.
“He came in at a difficult time,”
Councilman John Muller said. “He left
us with some guidance during the transi-
tion.”
Mc Nany joined the team last August
for the small winery’s reputation. He
enjoys the using the La Honda grapes
which “are a great representation of the
Santa Cruz Mountains.”
Both Mc Nany and Wornick encour-
aged those interested in wine to stop by,
enjoy a glass and have a chat, face-to-
face.
Looking ahead, Wornick plans for
growth within reason. He’d like to keep
the production small enough to be a fam-
ily-run affair.
Should you stop by the, currently
released bottles range in price from $17
to $43.50. Or, enjoy a glass of wine for
$6 to $8. Wornick suggests a glass of the
Lonehawk, a bigger red. Mc Nany
would like to sip a glass of the ’09 Santa
Cruz Mountain pinot, which has yet to
be released.

Monday, Dec. 13, 2010
The next year is looking to be one of exceptional promise,
especially in areas where you can assert a certain degree of
authority and leadership. When coupled with your ambition,
results could be huge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Some kind of situation
that has caused you a degree of anxiety looks like it will work
out wonderfully. In fact, it might even pave the way for some-
thing new that you hadn’t anticipated.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Something you didn’t
bank on could eclipse your present hopes and expectations,
but don’t fret. This new addition might engender a great hap-
pening that otherwise would not have occurred.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Dawn is breaking on a new
financial horizon that could prove to be advantageous for you.
Various monies are likely to become available now from a
previously untapped channel.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Something involving others
could be quite promising for you. However, the basic mecha-
nism for reaping these enticing rewards will essentially be in
your hands.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - A number of solid leads could
unexpectedly develop from, opening up new worlds for you.
The learning that takes place will go on for some time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Someone whom you recently
met is likely to prove his or her worth in a couple of important
ways. It will make you appreciate the value of this new friend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Several opportunities that were
previously nonexistent regarding your career could bloom for
you. Be on your toes, so that you can take advantage of them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - There is likely to be something
in which you’re involved that could be organized more effi-
ciently to better satisfy your needs. Check to see what that
might be, and then apply your skills.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you diligently pursue developments
that you believe could produce personal gains, you’ll do much
for your financial situation, not only for now but for a long
time to come as well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Partnership arrangements with
cohorts who take their responsibilities seriously could prove
to be far more beneficial then you ever imagined. Don’t go
it alone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - A sweet shift in developments
could begin, which would benefit you not only career-wise,
but also where your material interests are concerned.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You shouldn’t have any trouble
being a bit bolder when trying to advance a personal interest.
Once you believe the odds are in your favor, you won’t be
afraid to take a chance.

Swedes shocked by terror attack

By Malin Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STOCKHOLM — No one died
except for the suspected bomber,
but two explosions in Sweden’s cap-
ital tore at the fabric of this tolerant
and open nation — a society that
hadn’t seen a terrorist attack in
more than three decades.
Two people were wounded in
central Stockholm on Saturday in
what appeared to be the first suicide
bombing in the history of Sweden,
which has been spared the major
terrorist strikes seen in several other
European countries.
A car exploded in the middle of
the seasonal shopping frenzy, shoot-
ing flames and causing several
smaller blasts as people ran scream-
ing from the scene. The blast that
killed the alleged bomber came
moments later further a few blocks
away from the car explosion on a
busy pedestrian street.
Experts said the alleged bomber
probably didn’t succeed in detonat-
ing all the explosives and could
have caused much greater damage.
While police haven’t confirmed
Saturday’s attack was motivated by
Islamist views, an audio file sent to
Swedish news agency TT shortly
before the blast referred to jihad,
Sweden’s military presence in
Afghanistan and a cartoon by a
Swedish artist that depicted the
Prophet Muhammad as a dog,
enraging many Muslims.
It hasn’t been verified that the
speaker is the person who set off the
explosive, but police have said they
are investigating that possibility.
“Now the Islamic state has been
created. We now exist here in
Europe and in Sweden. We are a
reality,” the voice said in the file,
submitted to The Associated Press
by TT. “I don’t want to say more
about this. Our actions will speak
for themselves.”
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik
Reinfeldt on Sunday said the attack
was “unacceptable” but urged
Swedes not to jump to “premature
conclusions” that “create tension
which paints pictures that are then
difficult to change.”
“Sweden is an open society ...
which has stated a wish that people
should be able to have different
backgrounds, believe in different in
gods ... and live side by side in our
open society,” Reinfeldt said at a
news conference.
Swedes, with a tradition of wel-
coming immigrants and a culture of
transparency, began questioning the
veracity of their self-image of being
a secure nation after the 1986 mur-
der of Prime Minister Olof Palme.
In 2003, the fatal stabbing of
Foreign Minister Anna Lindh in an
department store was a wake-up call
for many.
But there have been no major ter-
rorist strikes.
“We had a terrorist attack in the
1970s from the Rote Armee Friktion
of Germany, but if this is a suicide
bomber it is the first time in
Sweden,” security police
spokesman Anders Thornberg told
the Associated Press.

Six NATO troops dead Palestinians express doubts over 2-state future
after suicide bombing
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — An
explosives-packed minibus blew up
at the entrance of a joint NATO-
Afghan base in southern
Afghanistan on Sunday, killing six
NATO troops and two Afghan sol-
diers as they prepared to head out on
patrol.
NATO has claimed improvements
in security after months of raids,
patrols and strikes on insurgents in
Kandahar province, but Sunday’s
blast — the deadliest attack on
coalition troops this month —
shows the area is still far from safe.
The assault comes days ahead of a
major White House review of its
Afghan strategy following President
Barack Obama’s decision last year
to send 30,000 American reinforce-
ments in a bid to reverse gains by
the Taliban since they were ousted
from power in the 2001 U.S.-led
invasion.
Afghan officials said Sunday’s
suicide attack took place in
Kandahar’s Zhari district, where
Mullah Mohammad Omar organ-
ized the Taliban in the early 1990s.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf
Ahmadi claimed responsibility for
the blast, saying the insurgent group
was retaliating for attacks on its
fighters in the area in recent months.
U.S. and Afghan forces launched
a major operation in September to
secure Zhari, a lush farming region
of irrigation canals and grape vine-
yards that the Taliban have used as a
staging area for attacks in nearby
Kandahar city and other parts of the
south.
Zhari has remained insurgent ter-
ritory despite five major NATO
operations in recent years. In 2006,
a Canadian-led force launched a
concerted push in Zhari and nearby
Panjwai district, driving out the
Taliban but at a cost of 28 coalition
lives. Months later, the Taliban were
back.
In a two-day trip to Afghanistan
last week, U.S. Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates said Washington’s
year-old surge strategy for the war is
working and the goal of pulling U.S.
troops out of major combat by 2014
can be met.
“Coalition and Afghan forces are
suffering more casualties, but there
is no denying that the security cli-
mate is improving and that the sacri-
fices of Afghan and coalition troops
are achieving greater safety and
security for both our nations,” Gates
told reporters.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Conventional
wisdom on Israeli-Palestinian
peacemaking has long held that
Israel should relinquish most of the
lands it occupied in 1967 in favor of
a Palestinian state — the “two-state
solution” that much of the world has
supported for years.
But the utter lack of progress in
peace talks and continued Jewish
settlement in the West Bank has
many people warning that Israel
might instead be headed toward a
one-state reality, with a permanent
occupation of the West Bank and a
Jewish minority ruling over an Arab
majority — unless, perhaps, the
world forces it to give the
