Supervisor staying put — for now
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County Supervisor Mark Church wants to
set one thing straight: he may be readying his
letter of resignation but doesn’t plan to step
down until the same day he takes his oath as
the new chief elections officer and assessor-
county clerk-recorder.
Church, who won his new county seat in the
June election, clarified on Friday erroneous
reports that he would resign his supervisor
seat as soon as the Nov. 2 election results were
certified.
Not so, said Church.
Instead, Church will submit a letter of res-
ignation effective Jan. 3. Although Church is
circulating a letter of intent to his fellow
supervisors dated Nov. 5, he cannot actually
send the resignation letter until after results
are certified and Measure U changes the coun-
ty charter.
Measure U, which passed with a strong
majority on Nov. 2, allows an elected county
official to submit an irrevocable letter of res-
ignation with a future effective date.
The change is important because the county
charter does not allow the Board of
Supervisors to call a special election to fill a
Duo charged with kidnapping cabbie

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A pair of Fremont men kidnapped and robbed
a cab driver taking them from Menlo Park to

selves while holding him at gunpoint, according
to prosecutors.

future resignation now lets
the remaining Board of
Supervisors call for a spe-
cial election as early as its
Nov. 30 meeting which
could mean voters choos-
Mark Church ing a replacement in
March or April, Church
said.
“The longer you wait, the longer the seat
goes unfilled,” Church said.
When exactly Church can legally submit his
letter is uncertain. The Elections Office is still
counting outstanding ballots and currently
scheduled not to finish until at least next
Friday. Once that happens, the office conducts
a 1 percent manual tally before certifying
results and submitting them to the California
Secretary of State’s Office for acceptance. The
whole process could take several weeks.
Another provision of Measure U requires a
special election be held to fill a vacancy if it
happens on or before Oct. 15 of the departing
officeholder’s third year. After that point, the
Board of Supervisors can decide between an
election, an appointment or leaving it vacant
Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The men, who are being held on no bail, both
asked for court-appointed attorneys and put off
a plea until Nov. 12 on charges of kidnapping,
robbery and carjacking. Taken together, the
charges could bring each man life in prison if
convicted.
According to prosecutors, the pair called a
cab driver several times to arrange a late-night
pickup at the bar and, once in the vehicle,
directed him to Daly City. They stopped at a
Redwood City apartment complex and had him
leaving the freeway in Millbrae and drive to San
Bruno using surface streets.
until the term ends.
Once Church turns in his letter, the board
has 30 days to call a special election which
must happen between 102 and 131 days from
that point. Measure U allows the election to be
all-mail.
The campaign for Church’s seat has a
crowded candidate pool so far. Burlingame
Vice Mayor Terry Nagel; Millbrae
Councilwoman Gina Papan; Dave Pine, San
Mateo Union High School District trustee;
Richard Holober, San Mateo County
Community College District trustee; and vic-
tims advocate Michael Stogner; have all con-
firmed their candidacy.
Whoever wins will hold the seat until the
unexpired portion of the term ends in January
2013.
District One, the seat up for grabs, includes
west San Mateo, Hillsborough, Burlingame,
Millbrae, San Bruno, South San Francisco
east of El Camino Real and the unincorporat-
ed areas of Burlingame Hills and
Highlands/Baywood Park. The district also
covers San Francisco International Airport.

At one point, one of the passengers drew a
handgun and ordered the driver to the back seat
where he was held with the weapon to his head
while the other passenger drove the cab,
Wagstaffe said.
After the back seat passenger took the cab
driver’s cell phone and wallet, they warned him
not to move for 15 minutes and left, according
to Wagstaffe.
The driver later reported hearing the man
walk to another car and drive off.
Authorities are still seeking a third man they
believe was in the car that picked up the first
two.

Central Valley to
get high-speed rail first
The first segment of a $43-billion
bullet train line between San
Francisco and Anaheim will be built
in the middle of Central Valley
farmlands, far away from either
major population center with stimu-
lus funding to be spent on segments
linking Fresno to either Merced, 50
miles north, or Bakersfield, 100
miles south.
The decision serves as a victory of
sorts for those on the Peninsula
opposed to the line because they
claim it will divide cities, create
noise and take property next to the
proposed route on Caltrain tracks.
State officials originally wanted the
first segment to be built between
Los Angeles and Anaheim in
Orange County with the San Jose to
San Francisco line also at the top of
the list for early construction.
While the initial line won’t serve
the giant populations to the north
and south, trains will be able to roll
at their full speed of 220 mph.
Peninsula Giants
fans flock to parade
Hundreds of thousands of Giants
fans poured into San Francisco
Wednesday morning to give the
team a heroes’ welcome after win-
ning the World Series Monday
night.
Fans got a glimpse of the champi-
on Giants as a parade in the team’s
honor rolled down Market Street
toward Civic Center Plaza.
For San Mateo resident Kevin
Simpson, the highlight of the event
was seeing Willie Mays and Willie
McCovey lead the parade in a con-
vertible as current Giants players
followed behind on trolley cars.
Mays was on the last Giants team
to win the World Series back in
1954 but McCovey never won the
title, making the last out in Game 7
of the 1962 World Series.
Horsley prevails
The hotly contested race for
District Three county supervisor —
the first for an open seat in 12 years
— ended Tuesday night with former
sheriff and current Sequoia
Healthcare District Board President
Don Horsley beating out coastal
activist and small business owner
April Vargas.
Horsley, 66, received 73,234
votes, or 56.5 percent, while Vargas,
60, received 56,391 votes, or 43.5
percent, of the vote. The placing
evoked the June primary in which
Horsley and Vargas also drew the
most votes in a wider pool of candi-
dates but each fell short of the 50
percent majority needed to stave off
a Nov. 2 runoff.
Horsley said he felt secure in the
win once he saw the margin in the
absentee votes being maintained
through the night.

Pelosi seeks to stay House Dem leader
By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Despite wide-
spread complaints about massive loss-
es that will put Democrats in the
minority, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
Friday she will try to stay on as leader
of her party in the House.
The decision exposed a rift between
Pelosi’s liberal allies and the dwin-
dling number of moderate Democrats,
who feel besieged and eager for sub-
stantive and symbolic changes in
direction after Tuesday’s Republican
rout. It also is likely to trigger leader-
ship battles farther down the ladder.

speaker, said many colleagues urged
her to seek the post of minority leader

House members vote by secret ballot
when electing the leaders of their
respective parties at the start of each
new Congress. Pelosi’s caucus is
more heavily liberal now that many
moderate Democrats lost on Tuesday,
but even some Pelosi admirers are
distressed by the magnitude of the
losses.
Several moderates, and even some
longtime Pelosi supporters, had open-
ly criticized her in their re-election
campaigns, and had urged her to step
aside. Pelosi’s Friday announcement
caught some off guard.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Reading the tea leaves
T
his midterm election is the
most bizarre of my almost
75 years of national elec-
tion watching. A $2 billion extrava-
ganza for just the national elections
alone, raised nationally or abroad,
who knows, after the Supreme
Court majority conservatives gift to
corporations of the “Citizens
United” decision.
It had the conventional loss of
seats that curses incumbent parties
and the expected extra losses due
to unhappy citizens in bad
economies, as I described in my
last column, “There must be
blood!” But it was the first occa-
sion, historically, where the prime
opposition party surfed back into
more power on the backs of a sepa-
rate political movement.
It was, indeed, the numerous Tea
Party organizations in the land
which became the “avant-garde” of
the campaigning, those providing
the energy and the drive for many
of those victories, while the
Republican leadership wallowed in
the comfort of needing only to
mouth the conventional small gov-
ernment, cost cutting and tax
reductions issues without needing
to get into more detail.
The rubber is now hitting the
road and the piper must be paid. As
soon as the next day after the elec-
tions, the Tea Partiers have issued
demands as to what they expect the
national Republican Party to do in
the next two years and, not only
issuing ultimatums, but have
already put together a “hit list” of
Republicans who they are going
after to defeat for cooperating with
the Democrats in the past. At the
top of the list is Scott Brown, the
newly minted senator from
Massachusetts, who has on occa-
sion voted his conscience.
So before the establishment
Republicans can even move to bat-
tle the Democrats to fulfill the cam-
paign promises they pronounced on
victory day, they are going to need
to take on the Tea Partiers, first,
whose first goal appears to be to
take over the leadership of their
party itself.
It’s an open secret that many of
the establishment Republicans’ per-
sonal feelings about Sarah Palin
and her best ally in the Senate, Jim
DeMint of South Carolina, range
from simple tolerance to utter con-
tempt. And other potential candi-
dates, as I predicted a year ago, are
setting about to subvert her ambi-
tions to run for president.
The party lucked out that most of
the potential embarrassment Senate
candidates Sarah endorsed, such
the ditzy Christine O’Donnell in
Delaware, Sharron Angle in
‘We need to understand that, after being on the
offensive achieving most of his agenda over
unrelenting resistance in the first two years,
the strategy has changed for the president.’
Nevada and Ken Buck of Colorado
and, potentially, Joe Miller of
Alaska, did not make it into
Congress for them to tout the way-
out reforms they were peddling.
But having said that, what are the
chances of the Republicans actually
positing their main “conservative”
goals? If they are holding to their
recent utterances, expressed with
firm jaws and clenched teeth:
“Absolutely, no compromise!” very
little. It is so soul satisfying to
make grand pronouncements for
the troops, but a little matter of
logistics and reality intrude.
As I wrote in a previous column,
“Delusions of power,” as Newt
Gingrich learned after the
Republican takeover of Congress in
1994, the nation cannot be ruled
from the legislature, particularly if
the presidency is the hands of the
opposition party. So when the
newly controlling party in the
House of Representatives legis-
lates, it needs to go through the
Senate first. In the current situation,
even if the Republicans had won
the majority in the Senate, also, it
would have likely made no percep-
tible difference. As long as the
Democrats still had 41 seats, they
could stop any act dead, if they
chose to, by invoking the tried and
successful “Party of No” policy
pioneered by the Republicans in
the past two years and could fili-
buster it to death. The moral is:
One should be careful of what
precedents one sets in the halls of
Congress.
Supposing the act slips through
the Senate? We need to understand
that, after being on the offensive
achieving most of his agenda over
unrelenting resistance in the first
two years, the strategy has changed
for the president in the second half
of the game. In effect, he is now in
the catbird’s seat on defense, hold-
ing the ultimate nuclear option, the
veto, with no chance of anything
being scored against him without
his letting it through.
So where do we go from there?
Is he going to expect that those
who have slimed him, and resisted
his many outreaches repeatedly,
should now come to him with hat
in hand to cooperate in passing
their reform movements? It matters
what the moral character of the
president is. Is he vindictive and
inclined to exact revenge for all the
OPINION
slime he has been covered with,
particularly by their chief
spokesman, Rush Limbaugh, the
“birthers” and those who see him
as a Muslim and the antichrist
without a word of protest or
defense on his behalf?
I hardly think so. I am confident,
like Abraham Lincoln, another
president from Illinois, after the
Civil War, he will emerge from his
office and reach out his hand to his
deniers and oppressors, those who
tell us their first goal in power is to
deny Obama another term and say:
“come let us reason, together for
the benefit, not only for our parties,
but for the nation.”
Now, supposing such an accom-
modation is reached? How much of
the Republican/Tea Party’s agenda
may be achieved?
The Tea Partiers appear to be
unsophisticated at what may be
achieved and how long it would
take and will, likely, make unrealis-
tic demands upon the Republican
legislators that they would much
rather not have aired until after the
hoped for takeover of the White
House in the 2012 elections
Again, reality intrudes:
A recent New York
Times/Washington poll found
strong opposition to the raising the
retirement age or reducing Social
Security or Medicare benefits for
future retirees. Or even the privatiz-
ing of Social Security. Most polled
did not approve of extending the
break on taxes for those earning
$250,000 or more. And a plurality
of voters disagreed with what is
perhaps the Republican/Tea Party
movement’s most widely supported
goal: repealing the health care
overhaul passed in March.
There is virtually no way such
can succeed. Not only does the
president have the veto over the
shredding of his most important
accomplishment, but some polls are
now showing that a plurality of cit-
izens not only are supporting the
reform but some are saying it does-
n’t go far enough.
Another option, available to
House of Representatives as the
source of funding, is to cripple the
act by defunding. Of course that
will not repeal the act itself. It will
still be there waiting for funding by
a more favorable Congress. And
some provisions may not need spe-
cial funding at all.
The other option, tried before, is
to shut down the government until
their will be done, but I don’t
believe the Republicans are stupid
enough to do that again. The presi-
dent seems willing to revisit some
features of the act and modify in
conference. I would grab that, if I
were they.
Recent polls, such as the highly
respected Pew Research Center, are
showing that most Americans do
not always agree with many of the
goals proclaimed by Tea Party can-
didates. Their newly elected Rand
Paul of Kentucky has advocated
sharp across-the-board cuts in fed-
eral spending and it found that a
plurality of Americans disapproved
of a proposal to freeze all govern-
ment spending except the part that
goes to national security.
It is obvious the most ardent Tea
Party activists expect Republicans
to hew to their desires and are
deluding themselves at what can be
cut and how soon, especially size
of government.
“If Republican leaders think for a
minute that they’re going to suck
us in and continue business as
usual,” says one, “they’re wrong.
They should not see it as a mandate
for their agenda. It is a repudiation
of the president and Nancy Pelosi’s
view of America. As far as I’m
concerned, as of Nov. 3, the
Republicans are on probation.”
Pretty naïve. Pretty arrogant. And
pretty adolescent.
With control of Congress split,
experienced establishment
Republicans must of necessity need
to work with Democrats to get
things done. So, the Tea Party law-
makers who refuse to go along
with that may soon find they have
become irrelevant and past history.

Can anyone stop
high-speed rail?
Editor,
Validated by multiple credible
sources, initial ridership numbers,
construction costs and ticket prices
for California’s bullet train have
been shown to be wildly inaccu-
rate. Now we learn that some of
the pre-construction contracts
received little oversight and claims
by the High-Speed Rail Authority
that Southern Pacific’s freight
trains can’t utilize a tunnel alterna-
tive due to lack of ventilation are
bogus.
On top of all this, we still
haven’t been told how high-speed
rail will be operated without a state
subsidy or what general fund pro-
grams and services will be scaled
back to pay the $600 million annu-
al debt service on the initial $9 bil-
lion in bonds approved by voters in
2008. Please, can anyone stop this?

Stocks lose momentum
By Seth Sutel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,397.30
NEW YORK — Stocks struggled to
end barely higher Friday after a blowout
report on job creation failed to extend a
powerful rally this week driven by the
Federal Reserve’s latest plan to pump up
the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average
waffled between gains and losses for
much of the day before ending with a
gain of just 9 points. Earlier in the week
the Dow reached its highest level since
September 2008, just before the peak of
the financial crisis, over enthusiasm
about the Fed’s $600 billion bond-buy-
ing program announced Wednesday.
Stocks rapidly lost momentum Friday,
despite a report from the Labor
Department showing that employers
added 151,000 jobs last month, the first
gain since May and far more than ana-
lysts had anticipated.
A poor profit report made Kraft Foods
Inc. one of the worst-performing mem-
bers of the 30 stocks that make up the
Dow average. The huge food company
said its net income fell more than 8 per-
cent last quarter as it spent more to pro-
mote its brands. Bank of America Corp.
and JPMorgan Chase & Co. rose sharply,
bringing other financial shares along
Wall Street
with them, on news that big banks may
soon be able to raise their dividends.
The Dow closed up 9.24, or 0.1 per-
cent, at 11,444.08. The broader Standard
& Poor’s 500 index edged up 4.79, or 0.4
percent, to 1,225.85, and the Nasdaq
composite index edged up 1.64, or 0.1
percent, to 2,578.98.
The Dow gained 326 points this week,
or 2.9 percent, its fourth weekly gain out
of the past five. The S&P is up 3.6 per-
cent for the week and the Nasdaq rose
2.9 percent.
Treasury yields inched higher as
investors trimmed their holdings of
defensive investments. The yield on the
10-year note rose to 2.53 percent from
2.47 percent late Thursday. The dollar
rose against other currencies, and com-
modity prices mainly rose.
Stocks had been rallying this week as
investors cheered the long-anticipated
economic stimulus program from the
Fed. The details of the plan were slight-
ly more than many were expecting, and
helped lead the Dow to a 220-point
charge on Thursday.
The October payrolls gain was tem-
pered by news that the national unem-
ployment rate, which is measured by a
separate survey of households, remained
stuck at 9.6 percent for the third straight
month. The economy needs to consis-
tently add at least 100,000 new jobs a
month just to keep up with the expansion
of the population. In September,
employers cut 95,000 jobs.
Unemployment has remained stub-
bornly high despite the official end of the
recession in June of 2009 and other
bright spots in the economy, including
gains in manufacturing and retail spend-
ing. That high jobless rate has helped
delay a rebound in the housing market
and frustrated investors, everyday
Americans and policymakers in
Washington.
Speaking shortly after the jobs report
came out, President Barack Obama said
he was “open to any idea, any proposal”

Pending home sales drop 1.8 percent

By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The number of
people who signed contracts to buy
homes fell in September after two
months of gains, a possible fallout from
foreclosure moratoriums which have
disrupted activity in the housing market.
The National Association of Realtors
said Friday that its index of sales agree-
ments for previously occupied homes
dropped 1.8 percent in September to a
reading of 80.9. Contract signings fell in
every region of the country except the
West.
The setback highlighted the continued
problems facing the housing industry as
it struggles to mount a sustained recov-
ery from a deep recession.
Analysts said some of the weakness in
September probably reflected disrup-
tions in the housing market caused by
moratoriums imposed by banks on mort-
gage foreclosures. Banks halted tens of
thousands of foreclosures as they inves-
tigated allegations that some foreclo-
sures had involved flawed legal docu-
ments.
“The foreclosure moratorium is likely
to cause some disruption and contribute
to an uneven sales performance in the
months ahead,” said Lawrence Yun,
chief economist for the Realtors.
But he added, “There appears to be a
pent-up demand that eventually will be
unleashed as banks resolve their issues
with foreclosures and the labor market
improves.”
However, other analysts said that
housing is still bumping along the bot-
tom following a severe economic down-
turn.
The Federal Reserve announced on
Wednesday that it planned to pump an
additional $600 billion into the banking
system over the next eight months in an
effort to drive interest rates on such
things as mortgages even lower in an
effort to boost a still-weak economy.
Private economists worried that this may
not be enough to boost housing.
“The foreclosure crisis, which really
got going at the start of last month, may
mean that some of the deals that were
signed in September fell through in
October as banks pulled foreclosed
homes from the market,” said Paul
Dales, an economist at Capital
Economics.

isn’t creating enough jobs for the nearly 15
million people out of work.
Reaching out to the new Congress, which
convenes in January, the president said he is
“open to any idea, any proposal, any way we
can get the economy growing faster so that
people who need work can find it faster.”
Earlier this week, voters angry over the jobs
shortage handed control of the House of
Representatives to Republicans. The Senate
stayed in Democrats’ hands. The split will
make it harder for Obama to enact any major
economic initiatives. There’s little appetite
among Republicans to provide a fresh dose of
government spending to stimulate the econo-
my. They warn against further swelling the
nation’s $1.3 trillion budget deficit.
House Speaker-to-be John Boehner of Ohio
said the top of his to-do list is extending tax
cuts passed during President George W.
Bush’s first term, which expire at the end of
the year, and cutting government spending.
“Our economy will ultimately recover, but
it will do so because of hard work and entre-

those challenges,” said Mayor Marina
Fraser, also acknowledging the sacrifices the
staff already made in taking on more respon-
sibilities and working longer days. Fraser
said the tax measure’s failure was a missed
opportunity for the community.
“Instead of taking a few pennies from out-
siders … now the community as a whole has
to absorb this cost,” she said.
Running the police department is the
city’s biggest expense, but Interim Police
Chief Lee Violett said it can’t reduce its staff
any further since it is working with a bare
minimum staff. The chief currently works
part time and with just two on-duty police
officers. Since the Sheriff’s Office has a sub-
station on the coast, subcontracting seems to
be the city’s best choice just as the city of
San Carlos did this year to save money.
“Half Moon Bay is unique because of its
location and faces logistical challenges
when you consider partnering with other
cities,” said Violett.
However, councilmembers are concerned
with the level of service and community
interaction.

Sequoia wins in OT
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For many up-and-coming football pro-
grams, learning how to win is usually the last
lesson to learn. Sequoia found that out the
hard way last year as the Cherokees went into
Peninsula Athletic League play undefeated
last year, only to finish with a disappointing 2-
3 Lake Division mark.
This season, however, the Cherokees are
learning how to finish. They trailed North
Coast Section power Pinole Valley 14-0 in
Week 3 before rallying for a 28-28 tie. They
were down 14-7 to El Camino before coming
back to win 28-21.
Friday night was their masterpiece. The
Cherokees trailed host Hillsdale 28-6 with
4:10 left in the third quarter before scoring 29
unanswered points — including seven points
in overtime — to beat Hillsdale 35-28 in
overtime.
“We’ve had that experience coming back
(this year),” said Sequoia coach Rob Poulos.
“Our guys weren’t giving up. Last year, they
would have.”
The win gives Sequoia (4-0 PAL Lake, 8-0-
1) the inside track to the Lake Division title
and an automatic berth into the Central Coast
Section playoffs. Next week’s rivalry game
against Carlmont will be crucial, as the win-
ner will get the division’s CCS berth.
The PAL Board of Managers this year voted
to implement overtime in league play this sea-
son. Each team gets a possession at the 10-
yard line and have four plays to score. The
teams alternate possessions until one team
fails to score.
Hillsdale won the coin toss and forced
Sequoia to go first in overtime.
It might not have been a good play consid-
ering the Cherokees had just chewed up the
Knights in the second half and the Knights
could not stop them now. Quarterback James
Beekley, who accounted for 197 totals yards
(100 rushing, 97 passing), gained seven yards
on the first play of overtime and Josh Lauese
(146 yards rushing) went the final three for
the score. The extra point put the Cherokees
up 35-28.

Rivalry

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Raider-hater par-
ties are once again the rage in Kansas City.
The flames have been rekindled in a once-
great rivalry. The Chiefs and Raiders are fun
and relevant again, playing for first place just
like they did so many times in their colorful
past.
The resurgent Chiefs (5-2), who haven’t
won a playoff game since 1994, are in
Oakland on Sunday to take on the 4-4 Raiders.
KC is trying to hold onto first place in the
AFC West and the Raiders want to snatch it
away. Excitement is growing. Resentment is
building, just as it did so many, many times in
the 1960s and ’70s, seasons that shaped
today’s National Football League.
So trim the gray out of Ben Davidson’s
mustache. Tell Fred Biletnikoff to go deep.
Snap the ball to Lenny the Cool and stay clear
of Willie Lanier’s bone-crunching tackles.
To really get in the mood, set the high-def
TV to black and white. That’s how the world
still looked to many television viewers in
1968, when the Chiefs and Raiders were help-
ing the NFL become the behemoth it is today.
“The Chiefs-Raiders rivalry was about as
spirited as any in professional football in my
time,” said Jim Lynch, a standout linebacker
for Hank Stram’s great Kansas City teams,
which played in the first Super Bowl and won
the fourth meeting of AFL and NFL champi-
ons. “They didn’t like us and we didn’t like
them. Now it looks like the Chiefs have some-
thing going again. This week will be fun.”
Lynch remembers his first exposure to the
Raiders as a rookie in 1967.
“We were getting ready to play them in an
exhibition game. All of a sudden, it wasn’t an
exhibition game. It was deadly serious with all
the veterans. I’m thinking, ‘What in the world
is the deal with these Oakland Raiders? Are
they going to come out wearing horns?’ I
laughed. But nobody else was laughing.”
The rivalry weakened in recent years
because, for the most part, so did the teams.

Curry, last season’s runner up for Rookie of
the Year, went through his pregame routine
and deemed himself good to go. Wearing a
brace on the tender ankle, he finished with 20
points on 7-for-17 shooting and dished out six
assists in 33 minutes.
Ellis nailed a 20-footer with 54.8 seconds to
go. The Warriors scored their fewest points in
a win since an 83-81 victory at New York on
Nov. 6, 2005.

Menlo edges South City

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South City football team learned the
best way to stop Menlo School’s offense is to
keep the Knights off the field.
The Warriors also learned, the hard way,
that as long as there is time left on the clock,
the Knights are a threat to score.
Menlo scored the game-winning touchdown
with 1:43 left and then made a goal-line stand
to beat South City 32-28.
South City took a 28-25 lead with 4:53 left
to play and appeared to have the game sewn
up on the kickoff when Oscar Torres’ squib
kick, hit a Menlo up man in the back and the
Warriors recovered.
But the Warriors coughed the ball up two
plays later to give Menlo good field position
at its own 37.
The Knights didn’t waste it. Jordan Williams
gained 27 yards on two rushes — with the
Knights surviving a heart attack when
Williams fumbled the ball, only to be recov-
ered by teammate Ryder Quigley. Following
an incomplete pass, quarterback Robert
Wickers hooked up with Phil Anderson for a
33-yard gain down to the South City 7. Two
plays later, Wickers scrambled into the end
zone from four yards out to put the Knights up
32-28.
South City, however, had one more shot.
The Warriors drove from their own 35 down
to the Menlo 15-yard line. With first down,
South City quarterback took three cracks to
complete a fade pass to Robert Johnson.
Standing in the way was Menlo’s Williams,
who three times used excellent coverage to
thwart the Warriors — including an incom-
plete pass on fourth down with 15 second to
play.
“That one hurt,” said South City coach
Frank Moro. “We had that thing.”

Hillsdale got its chance and came up inches short on fourth

down when Anthony Huni was stopped just short of the goal line.
It was an unlikely finish for Hillsdale (3-2, 6-3), which domi-
nated the first half. The Knights racked up 210 yards of offense and
Sequoia could do nothing to stop them. Hillsdale took the opening
kickoff and needed only eight plays to go 73 yards, capped by a
Yannis Tsagarakis 36-yard scoring strike to Huni to give Hillsdale
a 7-0 lead.
The Knights increased it to 14-0 in the first quarter when
Damien Carter plunged into the end zone from a yard out to cap a
60-yard drive.
Sequoia got a huge kickoff return from Josh Lauese, allowing
the Cherokees to start the drive on the Hillsdale 25. Six plays later,
Lauese went in from six yards out.
It appeared Sequoia would be in business again when Beekley
intercepted a Tsagarakis pass and returned it to his own 13, but
Hillsdale got the ball back two plays later by recovering a fumble
and Angel Salazar scored from 17 yards out on the next play and
Hillsdale was cruising, 21-6.
The Knights upped their lead to 28-6 when Tsagarakis hooked
up with Carter on a screen pass that he turned into a 75-yard score
midway through the third quarter.
That’s when Sequoia was at its lowest. The Cherokees managed
only 150 yards of offense in the first half. But once they trailed 28-
6, the offense finally got in gear. By the end of the game, they had
402 yards of total offense.
“We stopped getting into our own way and started playing foot-
ball,” Poulos said.
They also got back to what they do best — run the ball. Sequoia
had just 79 yards rushing in the first half, but finished the game
with 305 yards.
Sequoia got back in the game immediately following what
turned out to be Hillsdale’s last score. The Cherokees took the
ensuing kickoff and methodically drove down the field and punc-
tuated the drive with a Beekley 1-yard run and a 2-point conver-
sion from Isias Flores.
The Cherokees pulled back to a seven-point deficit on their next
drive, getting excellent field position when they partially blocked a
Hillsdale punt. Starting from the Knights’ 34, Sequoia needed just
four plays to find pay dirt. Lauese ripped off a 25-yard run on the
first play, and Brandon Gibson finished it with a 2-yard run and
suddenly the Cherokees were down just 28-21.
They tied the score with just over four minutes remaining.
Starting from their 23, the Cherokees marched down the field.
After seeing one of his passes dropped in the end zone, Beekley
decided to do it himself, tying the game on a 7-yard run.

SCOTS

16-yard touchdown run by Josh Brass despite accumulating

seven penalties.
“We need to clean that up,” Scots coach Jason Selli said. “We
didn’t have a bad week of practice, but we weren’t nearly as
sharp as I’d like to be.”
Johnson took over the show from there, scoring four touch-
downs in 13 minutes with runs of 7, 18, 59 and 8 yards.
Karasky also had a 5-yard bootleg in the second quarter to leave
Carlmont ahead 49-0 at the intermission.
Sky Regan scored the Scots’ lone touchdown in the second
half on a two-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Mills, still winless on the season at 0-4 in the PAL and 0-9 on
the season, scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter on
passes of 31 and 71 yards from Brandon Berkovatz to Marcus
Chew. Ultimately, it was an issue far too little and too late.
“That at the end right there, it’s great we got on the score-
board,” Mills coach Packy Moss said. “But I want them to
understand who they’re playing against (at that point in the
game) and learn from it.”
Carlmont’s focus now shifts to the final regular season game,
which could decide whether or not the Scots make it into the
Central Coast Section playoffs.
“No matter what, we’ll be playing for a co-league champi-
onship,” Selli said. “I want my guys focused and playing hard.
Anything’s possible.”

RAIDERS

First one side and then the other would go through periods of dom-
ination. But that was not the case in the ’60s and early ’70s, when
two of the AFL’s, then AFC’s, most talented teams resided in
Middle America and the California Bay Area.
“Every year to even think about a Super Bowl, you knew had to
go through the Raiders or you had to go through the Kansas City
Chiefs,” recalled former Raiders cornerback Willie Brown. “That’s
how it was at that time. They’ve been struggling and so have we.
We both have bounced back and now we have two good teams like
we used to have back in the day.”
A man with a unique perspective is Tom Flores. He stood on the
field as a coach and quarterback for the Raiders and as Len
Dawson’s backup on the Chiefs’ Super Bowl champions of 1969.

Menlo-Atherton stuns Burlingame

For the first 17 minutes of Friday after-
noon’s game at Menlo-Atherton, the
Burlingame Panthers played nearly flawless
football to go ahead 27-0. But there is a rea-
son players hold up four fingers when enter-
ing the final quarter — it’s all about finishing.
The game’s remaining 31 minutes featured
a stunning reversal of momentum in the hosts’
favor, as the Bears finished the first half with
two quick scores on their way to an improba-
ble 31-27 victory.
“The past couple weeks, every time (oppo-
nents) would score people were quick to put
their heads down,” Menlo-Atherton quarter-
back Willy Fonua said. “Everyone didn’t want
to feel like that again.”

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — When Andrew Luck arrived at
Stanford in the fall of 2008, it had been years since
either the Cardinal or Arizona had been to a bowl
game.
Now the two schools are set to play one of the
biggest games of the weekend in a prime time,
nationally televised matchup that could have
implications on who plays in a BCS bowl.
“Who would have thought it would be Stanford
and Arizona playing in a big-time game a couple
of years ago?” Luck said. “We try to get as excit-
ed as we can each and every game and treat them
the same. But obviously, we’re human. That’s not
going to happen each and every time.
“We do understand this has huge implications
on the end of the season and the Pac-10. We’re tak-
ing it like a big game.”

booming right leg by giving Menlo-Atherton
some breathing room with a 43-yard field
goal. The Bears forced Burlingame to punt
after three plays and then ran out the clock.
“(Menlo-Atherton) kept playing and for
whatever reason we didn’t,” Burlingame
coach John Philipopoulos said. “Maybe we
got a little comfortable.”
The Panthers had opportunities and even a
little luck — Dan Cuddy recovered a fumble
by Ilan Lesov for a 25-yard touchdown run for
the game’s first score — but in addition to a
stifling Bears defense that only allowed 42
yards in the second half, Burlingame was
guilty of shooting itself in the foot.
No mistake was bigger than a penalty com-
mitted on the second play from scrimmage in
the third quarter. Ben Poulos took a screen pass
78 yards for a touchdown but the play resulted
in only a 2-yard gain because of a flag.
The Panthers are now 5-4 overall and 3-2 in
the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division,
while the win improves the Bears to 3-3 in
league and 3-6 overall.
game as well.
“We don’t think about the other things,” coach
Jim Harbaugh said. “We know there’s other games
after this and eventually those will be the biggest
games of the season. This one is here and now. It’s
just a matter of mentally preparing for it, physical-
ly preparing for it, and getting your mind right and
ready to play.”
The Wildcats have a simpler path to Pasadena,
needing to win out and hope Oregon State drops
one of its final five conference games.
While it may be simpler, it’s not necessarily eas-
ier. Arizona follows this week’s game at Stanford
with a home game against Southern California, a
visit to Oregon and then the season finale against
rival Arizona State.
“They’re all hard,” coach Mike Stoops said.
“I’ve been here seven years, I don’t remember an
easy one. Maybe a couple of them, but you don’t
look at it that way. You just do what you have to do
to win this week. I don’t worry about what’s in
front of us.”

Intensity up for World Series of Poker finalists
By Oscar Garcia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — When 26-year-old poker
professional Jason Senti recently got a cold, he
did something he wouldn’t normally do — he
planned a visit to the doctor. Given that he’s in
the running to win $8.94 million at the World
Series of Poker main event, he was being extra
careful.
Senti and his eight opponents have had near-
ly four months to think about, prepare and
recover from the series in Las Vegas, where they
outlasted 7,310 players in the game’s richest no-
limit Texas Hold ’em tournament.
But two more sessions starting Saturday
await the so-called November Nine, who’ve
SPORTS
waited with increasing anticipation as weekly
television coverage catches up to this moment.
Eight professionals and one amateur. A well-
known pro who won one bracelet in July look-
ing to cap off an incredible series. Hundreds of
thousands of hands played, hundreds more to
go in front of a theater crowd at the Rio All-
Suite Hotel & Casino. And the youngest final
table in series history, rearing to get things
restarted.
“In the few weeks leading up to the final
table, everything is just a little heightened,”
Senti said. “I’m finding myself staying up
because I’m thinking about all these scenarios.”
The series will start exactly where it left off
when Kansas auto dealer Brandon Stevens was
eliminated in 10th place after sunrise July 18.
That halted play for 112 days, ending a nutty
day when the tournament field trimmed from
three tables to one.
It took nearly six hours to go from 10 players
to nine. Nobody wanted to budge and two play-
ers, 23-year-old Jonathan Duhamel and 24-
year-old John Dolan, aggressively bet to build
dominating chip stacks.
Duhamel, a Boucherville, Quebec-native
who starts the final table as chip leader with 30
percent of the total chips in play, said he built up
his stack by raising with mediocre hands, bet-
ting that opponents wouldn’t want to gamble all
their chips. He was right.
“I think they knew what I was doing but the
thing is, even if they know that, they still can’t
risk it,” Duhamel said.
Weekend • Nov. 6-7, 2010 17
Duhamel said he expects play at the final
table to be far different, even though the game
conditions will be exactly the same from where
they left off.
“There should be a lot of action in the first
hours, that’s for sure,” he said.
The extended play in the session leading up to
the final table leaves the last nine players with
an average of fewer than 49 big blinds — min-
imum bets used to dictate the betting. The
blinds go up every two hours, and players will
start Saturday with nearly one hour and 15 min-
utes left at the current minimums.
Players generally need 50 to 70 big blinds in
their stack, or more, to comfortably maneuver
and play hands without feeling pinched, tourna-
ment director Jack Effel said.

Zenyatta looks to cement legacy in Classic

By Will Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — John
Shirreffs looked up at the majestic
replica of Secretariat’s U.S. postage
stamp looming behind him and
adjusted his cap.
Big Red and his trademark check-
ered blue blinkers stared right back
down, a larger than life reminder of
the legend Shirreffs and superstar
mare Zenyatta are chasing.
The unbeaten 6-year-old has
become arguably the sport’s most
transcendent figure since Secretariat
won the Triple Crown in 1973, her
19-0 record giving the industry a
much-needed shot of adrenaline.
But there is more on the line in
Saturday’s $5 million Breeders’
Cup Classic than Zenyatta’s pursuit
of perfection. Her place in history
also could depend on whether she
can beat another talented field to the
finish line one more time.
She’s already one of the greatest
females in the sport’s history.
Whether she needs to reach the win-
ner’s circle under the lights on
Saturday night at Churchill Downs
to enter the pantheon reserved for
the likes of Secretariat, even

make that decision,” he said.
One more brilliant stretch run by
the massive dark bay could erase
any lingering doubts.
And there are doubts. All but two
of her victories have come on the

boys once, when she roared past
Gio Ponti in the final yards to
become the first mare to win the
Classic a year ago. Her 2010 cam-

fields comprised largely of unim-

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert,
who will send out Preakness cham-

grateful for what she’s done for rac-

She’s looked right at home at

with the type of fanfare normally

Her daily trips from the barn to

gently leads the way.
Not that it bothers her. Nothing

Hidden dangers
held in yourhand
By Philip Dimaano
S
ince the first cell phone became avail-
able on the market in 1984, techno-
logical advances and innovative
thinking have completely revolutionized what
is possible on a handheld
device. The smart phones
of the modern era have the
capacity to take pictures,
record video and play
music to the point where
making actual calls seem
subsidiary to the myriad
of other options available.
With such power and
information at our finger-
tips 24/7, the fine line between our awareness
of reality and immersion into the digital
world then comes into play, a line that at
times may become difficult to see before it is
too late.
The vast majority of the modern world has
welcomed such unprecedented technology
with open arms. There is a race to see who
can create and improve upon existing designs
to become the next big thing on the market.
Since people are given the ability to use their
handheld devices anywhere at any time, there
is an increased likelihood that people will
have lapses in judgment that end up costing
them much more than whatever amount they
paid for the device itself.
The use of handheld devices while driving
is a prime example of people taking unneces-
sary risks just because they fail to heed the
dangers involved. While laws have been
passed making it illegal to hold a cell phone
up to your ear while driving, people still find
ways to bypass such a law through acts like
texting. Drivers who use handheld devices
are four times as likely to get into crashes
serious enough to injure themselves, accord-
ing to the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety.
In a country where more than 91 percent of
its citizens own a cell phone and the automo-
bile remains the primary form of transporta-
tion, such occurrences are inevitable.
Researchers from the University of North
Texas Health Science Center found that tex-
ting behind the wheel accounted for more
than 16,000 fatalities between 2002 and
2007.
The dangers of where and when you use
your handheld device are not restricted to
driving behind the wheel. People who focus
all their attention into the little screen or
block out all outside noise with the music
from their earbuds while walking are just one
misstep away from serious injury or worse.

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
A remarkable performance by 18-
year-old Bobby Conte Thornton in
Peter Shaffer’s Equus at Boxcar
Theatre anchors a strong production of
this Tony-award winning play about a
psychiatrist treating a young man who
has blinded six horses. The horses are
portrayed by actors wearing masks of
horses’ heads. The entire cast remains
seated on stage during the play, watching
the action along with the audience in this
intimate theater. Two hours and 40 min-
utes with one intermission. Directed by
Erin Gilley. Through Nov.20.
ADVISORY:
Peter Shaffer’s modern classic is not
intended for all audiences. Equus contains
strong language, nudity and simulated
violence. The use of actual hay is present
in this production.
CAST:
Michael Shipley (Martin Dysart),
Bobby Conte Thornton (Alan Strang),
Laura Jane Bailey (Dora

AN ASIDE:
Director Gilley said, “When a boy com-
mits a horrific act, who is responsible? His
parents, religion, society? This Equus has
no bad guys. It’s too simple to tell a story
of good vs. evil – too easy to say this isn’t
us and could never be. As a director, I’d

rather live in the gray. The actual crime
that inspired this play was committed
almost four decades ago. Our intention
isn’t to finally unearth the root of the evil
that transpired, but instead to find com-
passion and catharsis in a shared experi-
ence. We’re exploring the humanity in
these characters. My hope is that we can
all see ourselves in their flaws and their
strengths, in their trauma and their heal-
ing.”

OH,AND DID YOU KNOW?:
Complementing this production of
Equus, Boxcar presents staged readings of
two of playwright Shaffer’s other popular
works.
***
LETTICE AND LOVAGE. Amateur
historian Lettice spends her workdays at
Fustian House, happily fabricating history
to make sure the tourists stay interested. Her
tip jar is overflowing with gratitude until she
is confronted by Lotte, a rule-abiding his-
torical administrator who may or may not
have an explosive past. Can the two over-
come their differences? Can theatricality
and a love of beauty trump modern-day
drudgery? Monday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m.

AMADEUS. Compelled by jealousy
for the musical genius he knows he will
never possess, Antonio Salieri, Austrian
Court Composer and self-professed
“mediocrity,” vows to destroy God’s cho-
sen voice on earth: the arrogant, “obscene
child” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Monday, Nov. 15, 8 p.m.

Tyler Perry’s ‘For Colored Girls’
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tyler Perry, whose name usually
adorns the titles to his films, hasn’t
disowned his latest, the simply
dubbed “For Colored Girls.”
On the contrary, his gesture of
seeming humility is a self-conscious
stab at respectability. With his 10th
film, Perry has tried to make a “seri-
ous” film, one that courts critical
acclaim and maybe even some of
the Oscar buzz that the Perry-pro-
duced “Precious: Based on the
Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” found
this time last year.
But make no mistake about it,
“For Colored Girls” is not much of
a departure for Perry, who has made
a trademark out of extreme melo-
drama, done quick and cheap. That
might be good news for his ardent
fans, but it’s bad news for everyone
else.
Unlike “Precious,” “For Colored
Girls” at least hasn’t awkwardly
jammed its source material into its
title. It’s based on the Obie Award-
winning play, “for colored girls who
have considered suicide/ when the
rainbow is enuf,” by Ntozake
Shange.
First performed in 1974, the play
— which Shange called a “chore-
opoem” — was a sensation. Played
by seven wounded but resilient
black female characters (each
known only as a color), it’s a series
of 20 poems.
The play was a powerful flow of
eloquent, full-blooded testifying,
one that has since been revered and
repeatedly staged. That Perry would
be drawn to it makes sense: Raised
by women, he’s made them his spe-
‘For Colored Girls’is not much of a departure for Perry,who has made a trademark out of extreme melodrama,
done quick and cheap.
cialty.
Finding a narrative to string
Shange’s poems together, though, is
no easy task. Perry has put most of
his nine women into one Harlem
apartment building (they were scat-
tered across the country in the play),
where their stories overlap.
There is Crystal (Kimberly Elise),
the mother of two and wife to an
abusive war veteran (Michael Ealy).
Her boss is a fashion magazine edi-
tor, Jo (Janet Jackson), whose steely
success castrates her husband
(Omari Hardwick).
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Across the hall from Crystal is
Tangie (Thandie Newton), a bar-
tender who slides into bed easily
with her customers. Her sister is a
high school dancer, Nyla (Tessa
Thompson) who has just lost her
virginity. Their angry, righteous
mother (Whoopi Goldberg) is a reli-
gious fanatic clad in only white.
Living in between Crystal and
Tangie is Gilda, a concerned, moth-
erly neighbor (Phylicia Rashad).
Then there are the health workers:
Juanita (Loretta Devine) runs a
women’s health clinic, and Kelly
(Kerry Washington) is a visiting
social worker. Dance instructor
Yasmine (Anika Noni Rose), who is
betrayed by a date, rounds out the
protagonists.
If that sounds like a lot of charac-
ters to keep track of, it is. Perry jug-
gles them all awkwardly. Fitting all
their stories in leaves room for little
character development, and what’s
left is the most sensational aspects
of their stories.
“For Colored Girls” plays very
much like a typical Perry soap
opera, with the exception that every

now and then his characters spout a
poetic soliloquy. The rich language
of the ruminations are utterly dis-
connected from Perry’s dialogue.
The monologues still offer some
sanctuary, surely proof that
Shange’s words remain strong even
when insufficiently surrounded.
Jackson and Goldberg may be
among the bigger names in the film,
but their characters come across
especially thin.
Thompson shines, particularly in
her post-abortion soliloquy: “Eyes
crawling up on me, eyes crawling
up my thighs.” Rose, too, resonates
in her speech as someone “betrayed
by men who know us.” Elise, anoth-
er character who must reconcile
herself to tragedy, also gives a
strong performance.
Perry, himself an incredible rags-
to-riches story, is intractably drawn
to characters who survive hardship,
often through faith. But he lacks
subtlety in fleshing out characters,
and he doesn’t have the filmmaking
talent for anything more than low-
rent television.

Downey,Galifianakis hit the road in ‘Due Date’

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Like Steve Martin and
John Candy before them, Robert Downey Jr.
and Zach Galifianakis are two guys who
should never get stuck traveling together.
In “Due Date,” opening Friday, Downey
and Galifianakis take a mishap-filled road trip
reminiscent of Martin and Candy’s travel
debacle in John Hughes’ 1987 comedy
“Planes, Trains and Automobiles.”
The characters and details are different, but
the two movies share a few key traits: Two
strangers, an uptight establishment guy
(Downey) and a ball of chaos (Galifianakis),

company.
“The nice thing about being arbitrarily part-
nered with a stranger that’s a nightmare is that
you get a great story,’ Downey said. “The trip
only has to last so long, and the story lasts a
lifetime. The difference in ‘Due Date’ is that
stranger is putting you in mortal danger.”
Downey stars as Peter Highman, a man
heading home from Atlanta to Los Angeles to
be with his wife for the birth of their first
child.
Grounded by an incident before his plane
takes off, Peter winds up on a cross-country
car trip with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay
(Galifianakis), a big-hearted innocent with no
social restraint and a habit for causing traffic
mayhem.
“Ethan is essentially playing the starter kit
for Peter’s well-in-need-of-anger-manage-
ment parenting course,” Downey said. “Then
again, I think one would be able to be

Galifianakis said “Planes, Trains and
Automobiles” is his favorite road trip movie
and that one of the film’s funniest scenes
comes as Candy’s character takes off his
shoes and socks then fans his bare feet on an
airplane, oblivious to the other passengers.

People that don’t realize there are other peo-

some reason, that part of their brain is miss-

“Due Date” is director Todd Phillips’ fol-
lowup to last year’s comedy smash “The
Hangover,” another tale of mismatched travel-
ing companions (Galifianakis among them)
whose bachelor bash in Vegas turns to disas-
ter.
Phillips’ credits also include 2000’s comedy
“Road Trip,” so mixing travel and laughs is
something of a specialty.
“It really presents an opportunity to put
your characters through the paces. They’re
kind of out there without a safety net, so to
speak,” Phillips said. “When you set a movie,
let’s just say, in your home town, you have the

Four numeral movies that are greater than most

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “127 Hours” is about,
well, the 127 hours James Franco’s character
spends trapped beneath a boulder while hik-
ing in a remote canyon in Utah. Pretty self-
explanatory.
Using numerals in titles can either be exact
or add an air of mystery. “300,” for example,
could be about a perfect bowling score. But “9
1/2 Weeks” is about an affair that lasts ... 9 1/2
weeks. And involves a lot of dessert toppings.
Here are the best movies with numerals in
their titles — and it was very hard to narrow it
down, so you’ll surely think of plenty others.
Feel free to share them. We’re not talking
about spelled-out numbers, either, so “Three
Days of the Condor” is out. Similarly, you
can’t just choose a sequel, tempting as it is to
place “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” on the
list:

Cabiria” is my personal favorite of his), it won

Mastroianni), functioning as a stand-in for

As economy picks up, ski areas await snow

By Catherine Tsai
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Ski resorts say snow
trumps the economy when vacation-
ers decide whether to head to the
mountains.
“There’s a lot of pent-up demand.
People are ready for winter,” said
Melanie Mills, president and chief
executive officer of the trade group
Colorado Ski Country USA.
La Nina could mean a warmer,
drier winter than normal for
Colorado but a colder, wetter season
for the Pacific Northwest, said Mike
Halpert, deputy director of the
National Weather Service’s Climate
Prediction Center.
Though there’s still a chance of
Colorado having a snowy winter,
“The sweet spot will be further north
into the Rockies,” Halpert said. “If I
was looking to go skiing, I’d be
looking further north than
Colorado.”
Mills was still hopeful for snow
across much of the state in the heart
of winter, when more people want to
ski, not just the early and late season
like last winter. Last season, overall
snowfall was 26 percent below the
10-year average.
“With a better snow year, we think
visits will tick up,” she said.
Last season, Loveland Ski Area
started running its first lift Oct. 7.
This year the first lift didn’t open
until Oct. 24, but unlike in past
years, even runs that weren’t open
yet were covered in fresh snow.
The uncertain snow forecast start
didn’t bother Visanu Tongwarin, of
Plainfield, Ill., who bought a pass
that allows for unlimited skiing at
Vail this year. The 35-year-old golf
professional, whose family has
With economists saying the Great Recession is over,Colorado ski areas now hope a hard-to-predict La Nina weather
pattern can bring enough snow to make up for a warm start to October,despite general forecasts otherwise.
property near Vail, Colo., said he
hopes to ski a dozen times this win-
ter.
He said he fell in love with the
sport while visiting Vail and Beaver
Creek last year.
“Just being at the top of the moun-
tain — it’s so quiet and peaceful up
there. You only hear your skis going
back and forth,” he said. “Chicago is
so high stress. On the mountain I
just feel relaxed.”
Early season pass sales were up
for Colorado Ski Country USA’s 22
member resorts, Mills said. Vail
Resorts Inc., whose resorts in
California and Colorado aren’t part
of Colorado Ski Country, said pass
sales through Sept. 19 were down
about 1 percent compared with the
same period last year.
Meanwhile lodging reservations
in ski country appeared to be hold-
ing steady. Bookings made through
Ski.com were pretty even with
where they were in the early season
last year, Ski.com spokesman Dan
Sherman said. Bookings for North
America were up by a double-digit
percentage. He would not release
specific numbers.
He said deals, including some new
luxury hotels with introductory pric-
ing, were luring visitors.
“Consumer confidence is grow-
ing. People who maybe haven’t
gone skiing the last couple of years
might try to scratch that itch this
year,” Sherman said.
Prices on some season passes are
inching up, and Telluride is listing a
single-day lift ticket at the ticket
window at $98 over the Christmas
holiday.
There are still deals, though, espe-
cially for early birds.
Silverton Mountain, the experts-
only ski area in southwest Colorado,
was selling an undisclosed number
of season passes for unguided skiing
for $399 before raising the price to
$799. The pass doesn’t cover Jan. 13
through March 27, when only guid-
ed skiing made with reservations is
available. Still, it comes with perks
like a total of 14 days of free skiing
at Arapahoe Basin, Monarch
Mountain and Loveland to the east,
plus premium draft beers for $2 all
season.
Silverton co-founder Aaron Brill
said the idea was to boost the num-
ber of unguided skiers, who have
sometimes been outnumbered by
staff on certain days in past years.
“We are hooking it up for local
regional skiers to see if we can get
them hooked for the long term, sim-
ilar to a drug dealer offering the first
hit for free, but our drug is powder
skiing,” Brill said in an e-mail.
In Winter Park, guests who
booked at least two nights of lodging
between Nov. 17 and Dec. 25
through http://www.playwinter-
park.com could receive one free lift
ticket per night booked.
Colorado Ski Country USA offers
three free days of skiing to Colorado
fifth-graders at each of its participat-
ing resorts through its Passport pro-
gram. This season, they also can get
a free lesson, including rental equip-
ment, in January.
Ski Cooper in Leadville and
Loveland offer free season passes to
first-time skiers and snowboarders
once they’ve taken three lessons,
complete with rental gear.

Shuttle launch off until

end of month to fix leak
By Marcia Dunn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Discovery’s final

voyage is off until at least the end of the month because of a large
fuel leak that forced yet another launch delay.
It’s the fourth postponement in a week for Discovery’s mis-
sion to the International Space Station with six veteran astro-
nauts and the first humanoid robot bound for orbit.
NASA tried to launch Discovery on Friday, but a potentially
dangerous hydrogen gas leak cropped up midway through the
fueling process and the countdown was halted.
The launch was initially put off until at least Monday. But by
early afternoon, it was clear that more time was needed to fix the
problem on the fuel tank.
“It’s a machine and, every now and then, machines break,”
said launch director Mike Leinbach. “We’re not jinxed at all.
We’re just dealing with one problem after another. Does it get
frustrating? It gets frustrating because we’d rather be launching.”
NASA is now targeting Nov. 30 — at the earliest — for
Discovery’s final liftoff. The space agency has to wait until then
because of unacceptable solar angles for most of November.
Those sun angles would cause the shuttle to overheat while
docked to the station.
But the launch window in December lasts just one week and
will jeopardize the amount of science that can be conducted.
Only three astronauts will be aboard the space station then,
rather than the usual six.
When it does launch, it will be the 39th and final flight of
Discovery, NASA’s oldest and most traveled shuttle. The shuttle
first flew in 1984. NASA is retiring the fleet and closing out its
shuttle program next year after three decades.
Friday’s fuel leak occurred where a vent line attaches to the
external fuel tank. It’s the same type of problem that forced
delays for two shuttle missions last year, and had not reoccurred
since then.
Last year, a minimum of four days was needed to replace the
leaky parts. Escaping hydrogen gas is considered serious
because of its flammability. Friday’s fuel leak was the biggest
one yet.
“We thought we had it licked, so we’re going to take our time

SKATE
Continued from page 1
alternative.
The skate park was built as part of Foster
City’s teen center, The Vibe,” at 670 Shell
Blvd., after heavy traffic at a mobile skate
park indicated that a more permanent venue
would draw users. Plans took a little over a
year to work their way through the Planning
Department and City Council, from approval
to completion. Situated next to the Vibe, the
park overlooks the water and acres of mani-
cured grass, providing plenty of space for
skaters and spectators to relax. It offers an
area for beginners to learn the basics, along
with plenty of room for more advanced
skaters to perfect their tricks. There is current-
ly no charge to skate for Foster City residents
or for visitors, and there are no plans to imple-
ment fees in the future.
“Generally, everyone is happy. I think peo-
ple are supportive of a legal hangout and skat-
ing area for kids,” Recreation Coordinator
Tiffany Hall said.
Before the park opened, the relationship
between the city and skaters was fractious.
Kids like Eric Ramirez and Chang Liu, both
14 and residents of Foster City, were constant-
ly reprimanded for skating on public and pri-
vate property.
“We were always getting yelled at by cops,
business people, everybody,” said Ramirez.
Has that stopped?
“Yeah,” said Liu. “We just come [to the
skate park] now.”
Theresa J. Dopp, assistant manager of the
Sand Cove apartment complex next door to
the skate park, agrees that things have
improved, but says loitering by skaters in the
complex is still a problem.
“It’s gotten better. In the beginning, it was
HEROES
Continued from page 1
they received calls of a plane crash — the ini-
tial report of what would turn out to be a gas
explosion and six-alarm fire — and headed to
Sneath Lane and Fairmont Avenue. They were
greeted by two police cars, residents and
flames shooting 80 to 100 feet in the air.
Uhland recalled it feeling like opening a hot
oven near your face. They headed down the
street not knowing what was in store, still
thinking they were dealing with a place crash,
and joined two off-duty police officers in
going house to house looking for people.
Uhland will never forget a woman scream-
ing an address in which there were more peo-
ple, bursting through the door and finding
nothing as the sky grew darker.
For all O’Grady and Uhland knew, remain-
ing in the blaze of the destroyed neighborhood
could make them victims themselves and
unable to help anybody
“It’s not like the thought of leaving ever
crossed my mind; it’s just that I was truly
scared and a million things were going
through my mind at once,” Uhland wrote in
his report.
As they continued, O’Grady found an elder-
ly man having a hard time walking. Uhland
found a frightened woman frozen on her
doorstep, holding a dog. During a final drive-

to make sure we do have it licked,” said Mike
Moses, head of the prelaunch mission manage-
ment team.
Another potentially big problem was discov-
ered after the countdown was halted: a 7-inch
crack in the insulating foam on Discovery’s
fuel tank. Moses said the damage itself could
have resulted in a postponement. NASA has
been extra cautious with the foam ever since
the 2003 Columbia disaster.
“We have a lot to do before we actually set-
tle in on a new launch date,” he told reporters.
Friday was the closest NASA had come to
launching Discovery on this mission, and news
of the leak came as a huge disappointment. All
morning, until the leak, the words “Go

more frequent, especially by the shuffleboard
area and in walkways. I’m not trying to have
it shut down or anything. I just wish they
wouldn’t loiter,” Dopp said.
Director of Parks and Recreation Kevin
Miller says he has heard no complaints about
loitering.
“You have to engage kids, and at least when
they’re on our property, we have a Vibe staff
whose responsibility it is to engage youth,” he
said. “We think we’ve provided a good envi-
ronment to skate in, and kids need to follow
the rules, but we need to engage them. The
center is the perfect environment to talk to
young people.”
Overall, Miller says the center has been well
received.
“It provides an opportunity for kids to skate
without causing damage to public or private
property,” Miller said. “It’s allowed people to
say, ‘Hey, not only shouldn’t you be skating
here, but you have a place to go. It’s been very
beneficial.”
Local Foster City kids aren’t the only peo-
ple using the park. Skating blogs and websites
provide reviews and information about Bay
Area skate parks, and have drawn skaters of
all ages and backgrounds.
“There are a lot of people from outside the
area,” said Hall. “They check skating blogs
and then do a sort of tour of different parks in
the area. We get a lot of people from San
Francisco.” Particularly in the mornings, col-
lege-aged and adult skaters fill the park, often
coming from outside Foster City. Afternoons
find the park inhabited more by young locals.
A few girls dot the perimeter of the skating
area, but currently, adolescent boys reign
supreme.
“We’ve been pleasantly surprised,” said
Hall. “There hasn’t been graffiti or vandalism.
People have stopped skating on and damaging
private property. The kids enjoy it, and they’re
really using it.”
by seeking victims, they found the officers
with a severely burned woman. They rolled
her onto a burn sheet before loading her, the
man, the elderly woman and the dog into their
ambulance. They dropped the woman and dog
off at the top of the hill before continuing
Code Three to Kaiser Permanent Medical
Center in South San Francisco.
It felt like the longest Code Three trip of his
life, Uhland wrote.
Uhland recalls the night in snapshots and
wrote to his AMR superiors not feeling like
the hero he and O’Grady are being called.
“I was scared to death and am just glad that
I had enough courage to do in my heart what I
know was right ...” Uhland wrote.
AMR as a whole was honored for its service
during the San Bruno incident but Uhland and
O’Grady are the only individuals recognized,
said Jason Sorrick, director of communica-
tions and government relations for the compa-
ny.
In honoring Uhland and O’Grady, Hill said
emergency ambulance personnel are often not
recognized for helping in major accidents or
disasters.
“Most citizens may not realize just how
important they are to our emergency medical
services and I wanted to personally express
my gratitude ... for their courage and dedica-
tion during this unfortunate event,” Hill said.

Discovery” echoed from the firing room, as
well as up at the space station, where the crew
eagerly awaited the shuttle’s arrival.
A launch attempt Thursday was thwarted by
stormy weather. Three previous delays were
caused by helium and nitrogen gas leaks and a
sluggish circuit breaker. Monday was the orig-
inal launch date. Shuttle commander Steven
Lindsey and his crew headed back home to
Houston on Friday afternoon. As for Robonaut,
the humanoid robot, he’ll remain packed up
aboard Discovery.
“We’ll wait awhile, get everything ship-
shape and try again. I can stand being Earth-
bound a little longer, I guess,” read an update
on Robonaut’s Twitter account.
After Discovery, space shuttle Endeavour is
set to lift off at the end of February. But if
Discovery’s flight ends up slipping into early
next year, Endeavour’s flight almost certainly
would be bumped.

Get yourself a good lawyer, because a significant contract
having to do with your work or career might be offered you in
the next year, and you’ll need someone sharp to read the fine
print. Things could become interesting and constructive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - A large dose of common
sense will help filter out useless information and needless
filler. This asset will help you immensely in dealing with cer-
tain personal affairs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - As long as you are not
merely being a dreamer, honest intuition could serve you well
in both a financial matter and a personal issue. Your hunches
could be keener than usual.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Open up a frank discus-
sion on a dilemma that is troubling both you and several
close friends. Only an honest exchange of who said what can
resolve a problem that has sprung up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - It’s one of those days when
one is tempted to try to force round pegs into square holes,
so try to keep your head screwed on straight. Then, and only
then, will you be able to handle things capably.

to more about a matter than you actually do, you can have
a good meeting of the minds with another on an important
issue. If not, you lose.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - This can be a better than usual
day to accomplish tasks that require two people to handle,
assuming each is competent. Team up with someone you
know works well with you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Any commitment you make
will be strong in both the spirit and the letter, thus you’re the
one most will come to for help. People know they can count
on you to do what say you will.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - A nosy neighbor who is interested
in everybody’s business will need to be held at arm’s length,
because if this person is given free rein, you can take bets s/
he will meddle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Make sure you have your cell
phone with you at all times, because an important message
is on its way that you won’t want to miss. It could mean the
difference between success and failure.

SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON

P REVENT T RAGEDIES
T EST Y OUR S MOKE A LARMS
Every year in the United States, about 3,000 people
lose their lives in residential fires. Most fire victims
die from inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not as a
result of burns. Most deaths and injuries occur in fires
that happen at night while the victims are asleep .

Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at least once a month.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for testing alarms.
Never disable your detectors, even if you experience “nuisance” alarms while cooking. Try
another location or another model of detector, but keep your home protected.
Clean your detectors at least twice a year, using a vacuum cleaner to remove cobwebs and
dust that can degrade the unit’s sensitivity.
Install detectors on every level of your home, outside sleeping areas and inside bedrooms.
Carbon monoxide detectors should also be placed near gas heaters and attached garages.
Replace the batteries in your detectors annually. To help you remember, change the batteries
when you reset your clocks for the Daylight Savings time change in the fall or spring .
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors don’t last forever. If a detector is performing erratically
or it is 10 years old, replace it.
Carbon monoxide detectors should also be placed in areas such as workshops and fishing/sail
boats where portable gas heaters are commonly used.

FIRE ESCAPE PLANS

Every family should develop a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year with
the entire household.
Children and older family members may not wake up to the sound of a smoke alarm. Parents
should hold a fire drill at night so they can assess their children’s and other family members’
ability to awake and respond appropriately.
