Longing for an A&W Drive-in in
San Carlos? How about a theater
chain, taco outlet, retailers of dia-
mond and shoes or even Extreme
Pita (not to be confused with
Extreme Pizza)?
These outlets are among dozens
compiled in a list of retail business-
es a city-hired consultant thinks
could be a good economic match for
the City of Good Living.
The Economic Development
Advisory Commission got a rst
pass at the roster, whittling down its
own wish list for a future recom-
mendation to the City Council.
We thought it was kind of cool,
said EDAC member Ron Collins.
Restaurants Il Fornaio, Bucca di
Beppo and Panera Bread rated high
with the commission, Collins said.
Thomasville Furniture was also
liked along with Burlington Coat
Factory.
Collins joked the city can never
have enough ice cream places but
said his view isnt necessary shared.
Instead, he said sportswear retail-
er Lululemon or cosmetic shop
Sephora drew interest.
And Apple?
We would love to have an Apple
store. They probably wouldnt come
here but it wouldnt stop us from at
least asking, Collins said.
Knowing who to ask is one reason
behind the assessment, giving city
staff a way to gauge what type of
businesses they should cull and bet-
ter aid them in the search for or cre-
ation of space, said Mark Sawicki,
economic development and housing
manager for San Carlos.
After all, he said, knowing what
businesses the city wants doesnt
translate into an economic reality if
there are no spaces for them to ll.

Ever since a white transit ofcer

when BART hikes fares, cuts serv-

Casa Sanchez may have its roots
in San Francisco but the next gener-
ation of the family-owned business
is ready to take the food manufac-
turer to new heights from its head-
quarters in Millbrae.
Started by Mexican immigrants
Roberto and Isabel Sanchez, Casa
Sanchez got its start as a
Mexicatessen in San Franciscos
Mission District almost 50 years
ago as the family also established
the rst mechanized tortilla factory
in Northern California.
The second generation of family
continued the companys early suc-
cess as Robert Sanchez Jr.married
one of the companys factory work-
ers Martha. It was those two who
created the recipes for Casa
Sanchezs fresh salsas, which are
now sold in grocery stores through-
out the region.
With the passing of Martha four
months ago, the company is now in
the hands of Robert Sanchez, the
grandson of the companys original
founder.
Sanchez called his mother the
brains behind the operation.
It is the success of her recipes that
have led the company to develop
new products, all made from scratch
daily, that have turned the family-
owned business into a $10 million a
year operation with 85 employees.

Entertainment news
Beyonce pregnancy
news overshadows VMAs
Beyonce and Jay-Zs spawn doesnt even
have a name yet, but it was the indis-
putable breakout star of Sundays MTV
Video Music Awards.
Beyonce stole the show before it even
began when she announced on the black
carpet that after more than three years of
marriage, the dazzling couple had pro-
duced the ultimate all-star collaboration.
Dressed in a loose tting, off-the-shoul-
der red-gown, she clutched the baby
bump that so many celeb-watchers had
been predicting since the two wed. Her
publicist later conrmed the pregnancy to
The Associated Press.
Later, Beyonce performed Love on
Top, and if Twitter hadnt already spread
the news, her outt gave clues to her
impending motherhood; instead of her
typical sexy outts, she dressed in con-
servative spangled tux but still danced
around in her signature stilettos.
Beyonce didnt utter a word about the
pregnancy, but ended the number by tak-
ing off her jacket and rubbing her swollen
belly; in the audience, an elated Jay-Z
hooted and clapped for his wife, as Kanye
West hugged him.
In an instant, Beyonce and her soon-to-
be child (Jayonce?) managed to over-
shadow the nights events. Lady Gagas
much-hyped opening number, during
which she performed as a greasy, leather-
jacketed male alter-ego during a perform-
ance of You and I, became less interest-
ing. So did the evenings meticulously
planned wild moments, from Nicki
Minajs origami-like outt to a dance-off
between the members of Odd Future and
Jack Black, Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen.
There was one apparently unscripted
moment during Jay-Zs performance with
Kanye West of Otis, off their chart-top-
ping joint album Watch the Throne.
Near the end of the song, someone tried
to walk on the stage, but was quickly
apprehended by a crew member as a
bemused Jay-Z looked on. It was the sec-
ond time Jay-Z had someone walk on
unannounced during an MTV perform-
ance; two years ago, it was Lil Mama.
Britney Spears captured the nights rst
award, for best pop video, and later was
honored with an MTV Video Vanguard
award for her visual legacy. Lady Gaga,
sticking to her gender-switch shtick,
leered at Spears as she paid tribute to her.
Shes a pop music legend, and the
industry would not be the same without
her, Gaga said. I used to hang pictures
of her on my wall and touch myself when
I was in bed.
Later, Gaga shed for a kiss, but as
Spears leaned in, she quickly pulled back,
reminding viewers, Ive done that
before.
Other winners included Nicki Minaj
and Katy Perry, who won a trophy with
West for her video E.T.
Now this is the time when you wanna
interrupt me Kanye, joked Perry, refer-
ring to Wests infamous intrusion of
Taylor Swifts acceptance speech two
years ago. Instead, West simply laughed
and thanked God and Katy Perry for
being so brave for letting me on her
record.
The show had no ofcial host, though
comedian Kevin Hart delivered an open-
ing monologue and was featured in a
series of vignettes during the show.
Adele had perhaps the highlight of the
night as the seven-time nominee deliv-
ered a powerfully understated perform-
ance of Someone Like You, off her top-
selling 21 album.

S
an Mateo languished as a village
throughout most of the 1800s. There
were about 500 souls in the vicinity in
1883 and this had increased to about 1,832 by
1900. San Francisco, on the other hand, had
close to 700,000 population by 1900 and was
still growing. The San Francisco and San Jose
Railway had been completed in the early
1860s but it had little impact on San Mateo.
The big estates controlled the area and every-
one worked for the big estates. They created
little real employment other than service
workers to keep the rich happy on the large
houses that had been built mainly for summer
residences.
Things in San Francisco were still in ux
and the western and south western vacant
lands only needed transportation to solve
labor needs in the burgeoning downtown.
Land speculation abounded everywhere. On
April 7, 1892 Mr. Joost, Realtor of the Glen
Park area in San Francisco, saw the rst elec-
tric car of the San Francisco and San Mateo
Railway complete its run to the southern bor-
der of San Francisco County at the Top of the
Hill in Daly City (13 miles from San Mateo).
The franchise for the railway had not been
secured to San Mateo and the trolleys went no
further than the cemeteries in Colma. The
turnout and prot was less than expected by
Joost and the company was purchased by a
Baltimore Syndicate in 1901 and the new
owners, United Railroads of San Francisco
(URR) immediately acquired the rights to
complete the line to San Mateo. On Dec. 26,
1902, the line was completed to San Mateo
and the trolleys made the trip in 40 minutes
from Baden (South San Francisco).
The 1906 earthquake destroyed a lot of the
tracks in San Mateo County and, in addition to
repairing the tracks, the president went on a
buying spree. From a St. Louis shop, he pur-
chased 16 classic interurbans, 12 motor cars.
The interurbans were huge over 52 feet
long and weighed 75,640 pounds. They had
spoked wheels, a pilot (cowcatcher) in front
and it had a lot of power (four 75- horsepow-
er GE motors) as well as eclipse fenders to
cover the sides (and cut down on accidents).
They became called the Big Subs and their
use lasted for 10 years before they were
retired.
After leaving Baden, there were a lot of
open elds and the trolleys could pick up a lot
of speed. With the speed came a rolling and
rocking motion that made the trolley feel

like it was coming apart. The hum of the electric engines and
the squeal of the brakes were sounds not easily forgotten.
When passengers were spotted, the engineer would put on the
brakes, slow down and stop while passengers entered the trol-
ley. Stops varied over the years due to trafc demand but pop-
ular stops were at: Lindenville Housing (South San Francisco),
Tanforan Race Track (three or four stops), San Bruno Avenue,
Lomita Park, Millbrae Water Plant (16-Mile House), The
Power Plant at Millbrae Avenue, D.O. Mills Dairy barn;
Easton and Burlingame Train Station. At the Burlingame Train
Station (California Drive), the trolley had the right-of-way
south on San Mateo Avenue with various stops in San Mateo
until it arrived at Main Street to rest a while. The railroad sta-
tion was to the east, the Union Hotel was to the south, and
there was an area for buses and taxis to stop, as well as trolleys
(Main Street is not a main street any more).
There were no high schools in San Bruno and Millbrae until
the 1950s when Capuchino and Crestmoor were built. The
school trustees decided to fund the students transportation to
San Mateo High School (on Baldwin Avenue and San Mateo
Drive and later Delaware Street and Bellevue Avenue) and
Burlingame High School. The students loved the ride and
many friendships and love affairs were initiated on these rides
to school. In 1949, the trolley system in San Mateo County
was discontinued. For a while, the Southern Pacic was uti-
lized to get students to school but eventually the school district
bought buses to transport the students.

HISTORY
By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES Gov. Jerry Brown
is a quirky Democrat known to break
from convention, but in one way his
young administration looks all too pre-
dictable: He is seeding state govern-
ment with fellow Democrats, political
supporters and appointees linked to
powerful labor groups that helped
install him in ofce, an Associated Press
review found.
Public employee unions representing
nurses, teachers, reghters and other
workers spent millions of dollars in the
2010 campaign to put Brown in charge
in California, fearing Republican Meg
Whitman would make good on her
promise to shrink the state payroll and
collar the soaring cost of government
pensions.
So far, Brown has placed a string of
appointees with ties to those unions in
prominent jobs that intersect with labor:
The state agency that negotiates worker
contracts is now headed by a former
champion of the prison guards union,
and the chief lawyer for the agency that
settles disputes between workers and
state managers has ties to the powerful
California Nurses Association.
Browns office
says there is no con-
nection between the
union support he
received in 2010
and his job picks,
but it has opened
him to criticism that
he is stacking the
deck in favor of
labor interests as the
state struggles with an ongoing nancial
crisis.
If you look at who funded his guber-
natorial campaign, they are getting one
hell of a return on their investment. Its
paying off in spades through these
appointments, said Jon Coupal, presi-
dent of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association, a low-tax advocacy group
that supported Whitman in 2010.
The choices provide a window into
how Brown has exercised power since
taking office, and his appointments
could affect issues ranging from fund-
ing unemployment benets to promot-
ing green energy in a state infamous for
smog.
According to administration state-
ments, Brown has named 190 people to
high-level positions since he took ofce
in January. Of those, 18 about 9 per-
cent are Republicans, 11 of whom
are new appointees. The rest were reap-
pointed to jobs they already held.
Brown is known to be unorthodox
he earned the moniker governor moon-
beam during his rst stint as governor
from 1975 to 1983 and he urged leg-
islators to rise above ideology and par-
tisan interest after taking the oath of
ofce in January. But his appointments
have followed a familiar pattern in
Sacramento, in which incoming gover-
nors advance their agendas by salting
the state ranks with like-minded staffers
or repay supporters and donors with
plum jobs.
By some accounts nearly 3,000
appointments come with the California
governorship that range across state
agencies and a web of boards and com-
missions that have inuence in every-
thing from agriculture to energy.
Former Republican Gov. Arnold
Schwarzeneggers inner circle was thick
with Republicans but, overall, his
appointments were fairly balanced. A
Los Angeles Times review in 2006
found that about 54 percent of more
than 2,000 appointments he made by
that time were Republicans, the rest
were Democrats and independents with
a sprinkle from minor political parties.
Brown appointments favor Dems

MILLBRAE
Always take what
you read with a
grain of salt! It
amazes me that so
many articles I see
being published in
various magazines,
tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be
factual and researched but in reality end
up being riddled with partial truths,
inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like
information that is backed up by provable
facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily
written and not checked out. Many people
assume that all their reading material has
been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting
these erroneous types of writings as the
gospel truth causes confusion among the
public and can be potentially harmful!
One serious example is the daily flooding
of email stories that are passed from reader
to reader (weve all received them) and
taken by many recipients as factual writings.
The majority of these emails, such as
perceived parents searching for their missing
child; hearsay about the Presidents status as
an American citizen; rumors on the latest
medical scare or remedy; handy household
uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune
with you if you forward that email to 10
friends; in addition to countless other stories
are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes.
TIP: You can easily check out the validity
of every email story you receive by going to
www.snopes.com and typing in the subject
of any questionable email in the search box.
In another example, I was recently given
an article to review from Readers Digest
called 13 Things the Funeral Director
Wont Tell You as part of their series
featuring different professions. Being an
actual Funeral Director, and knowing the
facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info
I was reading in a supposedly reputable
magazine such as Readers Digest. It was
obvious to me that the author of the article
and the editor of the magazine not only
didnt check their alleged facts, but some of
the items listed were misleading, incomplete
assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone
reading this would just assume that all was
checked out in advance with experts and
professionals before being printedbut in
this case it was a listing of partial truths or
unexplained hearsay. Since this article
appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the
National Funeral Directors Association
among other groups have chastised
Readers Digest for their inept reporting.
This circumstance makes it difficult for me
to fully have faith in Readers Digest and
reminds me that fallacies that can show up
in otherwise trusted publications.
Another situation similar to the above
appeared a while back in AARP magazine.
I always viewed this publication as having a
stellar reputation until I read an article about
funeral rip-offs that was also filled with
inaccurate statements. In that case AARP
was not checking their facts either.
The point is that some authors may have
part of their facts correct or incorrectbut
until you verify your reading material with a
professional you should take what you read
with some good humor and a grain of salt.

funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF

Andreacchis advertising experience
and Reardons marketing approach,
the two formed the local franchise
Junk King in 2005, a San Carlos-
based junk removal and hauling serv-
ice company.
Four years later after laying the
groundwork for their model of struc-
ture and efciency, the duo decided to
go national and one thing led to
another. After 18 months, the growing
company franchised 33 partners in
United States, including one in
[Panama City] Central America.
Andreacchi, chief operating ofcer of
Junk King, predicts 10 to 15 franchis-
es will be added at the end of the year.
We put ourselves in a position
where the consumer can see us,
Andreacchi said. We document our
business model from a marketing
standpoint for customers to learn and
grow from.
Andreacchi formerly worked for
the companys leading national com-
petitor, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, a Canada-
based junk collection company. He
saw the need to create, expand and
franchise a company that would dif-
ferentiate itself from competitors.
I saw there was room for growth in
this eld, Andreacchi said. We
wanted to create a company that serv-
ices bigger trucks and larger territo-
ries at a better competitive price. We
made a point to evolve 100 percent
around customer service and place a
high value on not only throwing away
junk but recycling it as well.
Reardon, chief executive ofcer of
Junk King, said the companys annu-
al revenue for junk removal is $1.1
million and for franchise partners
between $6 million to $8 million.
Junk Kings revenue is growing 15
percent each year despite the econom-
ic recession, he said.
Our principle is to give people the
opportunity to be their own business
owners and evolve a brand nationally
and internationally around recycling,
Andreacchi said. Our mission is to
build long-lasting relationships with
valued customers.
Andreacchi said 60 percent of the
material collected is recycled; howev-
er, many times the junk is not reused,
donated or taken to a landll. Instead,
Junk King nds alternate recycling
avenues to transfer junk, such as E-
Waste, a custom electronics recycling
service, and American Metal Group, a
metal recycling business. These com-
panies have become a reliable source
of collecting and recycling furniture,
appliances, technological devices and
various debris for business, govern-
ment and residential companies, they
said.
Andreacchi added that 40 percent
of waste goes to a transfer station and
not a landll. Items not transferred are
located to Blue Line Transfer in South
San Francisco. Furthermore, more
than 908 tons are saved from local
landlls, he said.
We conduct environmental audits
regionally in North America,
Andreacchi said. Our franchises
track what we collect locally and
where the junk goes, whether its
recycled, reclaimed, reused, convert-
ed to energy or goes to landlls.
Junk is a big business in North
America because Americans are con-
sumers, Andreacchi said. Americans
like to ll their homes with new and
fun items which doesnt create a lot of
space.
Not everything we pick up is
garbage, which is why it is recycled,
Andreacchi said. One mans junk is
really another mans treasure.
Vendors like certain items saved for
them.
Junk King also donates used items
to charities and nonprot organiza-
tions: Goodwill, Habitat for
Humanity, San Carlos Educational
Foundation, building projects and
others.
We donate our trucks with a face
value of $300 to $500 to local schools
for auctioning, Reardon said. The
proceeds made from these event goes
to nonprot organizations.

Comprehensive 5 Step Program is Helping
Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief From
Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain
without Drugs or Surgery
Are you in pain? Have you tried everything to alleviate
your pain without success?
Tried injections that worked for the first time or two but now
have little or no effect? Tired of taking medications that
temporarily mask the pain but arent actually fixing the
problem? Doctor told you your only option is surgery but
you are scared to death of surgery because of all the horror
stories you have heard? Had surgery and are still in pain? If
you answered yes to some or all of these questions we want
you to know you are not alone. Thousands of people in your
area are in the same situation. Many of them have found
affordable, effective, permanent relief with our
revolutionary, new 5 step treatment protocol involving Deep
Tissue Laser Therapy and Spinal Decompression. You
too may qualify for this revolutionary treatment if you:

Have Been Diagnosed With or Feel Like You Have Any
of the Following:

Herniated/Bulging Discs
Chronic Lower Back or Neck Pain
Sciatica
Shooting Pain Down the Leg
Pinched Nerves
Numbness, Tingling or Weakness
Shoulder, Knee or Foot Pain
Muscle Spasm, Strains or Sprains

Even If You Have Been Told By Other Doctors That They
Cant Help or That Surgery Is Your Only Option,
Help May Still Be On the Way
Our revolutionary, 5 step comprehensive program is helping
patients all over the Bay Area relieve their symptoms of back
and neck pain, improving their quality of life and helping
them enjoy activities that they havent been able to do since
their pain began. We have even helped patients in the
severest amount of pain, who have had pain for many years,
and at almost any age. (Our oldest patient currently is 94)

Maybe your story is similar to that of Ruthann T., who states,
I had pain in my low back and down my right leg for years. I
was having trouble even walking up the stairs. I had four
epidurals, which didn't help much. I started my mornings off
with pain medication. For the past two years, I had to sleep
in a recliner with a pillow underneath my legs. I had seen two
chiropractors, a physical therapist, and a pain management
specialist, but nothing helped. My doctor recommended
surgery but surgery terrifies me. Too many unknowns and
too many horror stories.

How Pain Has Been Treated in the Past.
Are Drugs and Shots the Answer?
Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently
taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone,
epidural or steroid injections. This type of relief masks the
cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more
pain or worse yet, addiction to drugs. Many people
innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while
initially using them to alleviate pain. Do you know that
prescription medications kill more people every year than
illegal drugs do? How many stories have we heard in the
news over the last year of people dying from abuse of
prescription pills? With all the potential side effects are pain
pills really the best long term solution to pain?

How Pain Is Now Being Treated
by Our Comprehensive 5 Step Protocol
Until Now, Drugs and Surgery Were the ONLY Options for
Back Pain. Today our 5 Step Protocol, including Deep

Step 1-Spinal Decompression
The 1st step in our comprehensive 5 step protocol is to reduce
disc bulges and disc herniations and repair and re-hydrate any
degenerating discs through Spinal Decompression. Spinal
Decompression is a revolutionary, computer aided technology
that treats the symptoms of Disc Herniations, Disc
Degeneration, Sciatica, low back and neck pain. Think of a
disc like a jelly doughnutsqueeze it too hard and the jelly
comes out. When too much pressure is placed on the disc, it
bulges or herniates. Gentle specialized decompressive forces
are logrhythmically applied creating up to -100 mm of
pressure inside the discs, retracting (sucking in) the disc
herniation and allowing the damaged disc to heal. Spinal
decompression even helps degenerated discs. The gentle
specialized traction forces create a negative pressure leading
to an influx of fluid, oxygen and minerals. This process
helps the discs to heal.

An Orthopedic Surgeons View on Decompression
Dr. Bernard Zeliger, an Orthopedic Surgeon has this to say
about Spinal Decompression. As a Surgeon I only want to
do surgery when I absolutely have to. Non-Surgical Spinal
Decompression gives my patients a more conservative
treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery
altogether.

Step 2- Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Pain results from trauma, inflammation, malfunction, or less
than optimal cellular function. Healing and pain relief come
with cellular normalization. Laser light enables cells to
perform optimally by energizing the damaged cells, initiating
bio-chemical reactions, (photobiostimulation) leading to an
increase in circulation, a decrease in pain, and an increase
in healing. Laser Therapy is the perfect addition to speed up
the healing time while doing spinal decompression and other
therapies.

Is Laser Therapy Painful or Dangerous?
There is no discomfort during treatment, simply a deep,
gentle stimulation as your body's cells respond to the light.
There are no known side effects and it is non-invasive and
non-surgical. When asked about the Laser Treatment Jason
B. said, All I felt was a comfortable sensation as the laser
was moved over the injured area. After just 7 short
treatments my pain was almost totally gone.

Step 3- Nutrition
Often times patients are deficient in certain vitamins and
minerals or can have a toxic buildup in their system which
can be contributing to or may even be causing some of their
pain. At Crossroads Health Center we will take an extensive
history and perform any tests necessary to determine if a
nutritional deficiency or toxicity may be present. Then an
individualized nutritional program may be recommended to
decrease pain and inflammation, speed up healing and
improve overall health.

Step 4- Chiropractic
Crossroads Health Center utilizes highly trained Chiropractic
Physicians to perform chiropractic adjustments with specific
forces in a precise direction to mobilize joints, restore motion,
relieve pain and inflammation, take the pressure off pinched
nerves, and improve nervous system function. Light
massages while you are being treated will help to reduce
muscle spasms, decrease trigger points (knots), relieve
muscle tension and help to relax muscles so that postural
imbalances can be addressed and other treatments can be
more effective. Chiropractic may or may not be a part of your
overall care plan. A consultation will determine what is best
for your individual needs.

Step 5- Stretch & Strengthen
Once we have addressed the root of the problem and patients
have started to have decreased pain and improved function
then we put them on a stretching and strengthening protocol.
Too often patients are told to stretch and strengthen before
actually fixing the problem which may lead to no relief of
their pain or sometimes even a worsening of their pain and
their condition. Stretching and strengthening after improving
spinal function will help your results to be more permanent so
that you dont have to come in to the clinic forever.

How Will I Know If I Qualify for Treatment?
When you come in for a complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform a comprehensive
examination to determine exactly where the pain is coming
from. If x-rays are necessary, we can take them in our office.
Once we determine the cause of your pain we will let you
know if we can help you and if you qualify for our treatment
protocol. If we dont feel like we can help we will refer you
to someone who can.

NEW YORK Stripped of hur-
ricane rank, Tropical Storm Irene
spent the last of its fury Sunday,
leaving treacherous flooding and
millions without power but an
unfazed New York and relief that it
was nothing like the nightmare
authorities feared.
Slowly, the East Coast surveyed
the damage, up to $7 billion by one
private estimate. For many the dan-
ger had not passed: Rivers and
creeks turned into raging torrents
tumbling with limbs and parts of
buildings in northern New England
and upstate New York.
This is not over, President
Barack Obama said from the Rose
Garden.
Flooding was widespread in
Vermont, where parts of
Brattleboro, Bennington and several
other communities, were sub-
merged. One woman was swept
away and feared drowned in the
Deereld River.
Meanwhile, the nations most
populous region looked to a new
week and the arduous process of
getting back to normal.
New York lifted its evacuation
order for 370,000 people and said it
hoped to have its subway, shut down
for the rst time by a natural disas-
ter, rolling again Monday, though
maybe not in time for the morning
commute. Philadelphia restarted its
trains and buses.
All in all, New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said, we are in
pretty good shape.
At least 21 people died in the
storm, most of them when trees
crashed through roofs or onto cars.
The main New York power com-
pany, Consolidated Edison, didnt
have to go through with a plan to cut
electricity to lower Manhattan to
protect its equipment. Engineers
had worried that salty seawater
would damage the wiring.
And two pillars of the neighbor-
hood came through the storm just
ne: The New York Stock Exchange
said it would be open for business
on Monday, and the Sept. 11 memo-
rial at the World Trade Center site
didnt lose a single tree.
The center of Irene passed over
Central Park at midmorning with
the storm packing 65 mph winds.
By evening, with its giant gure-six
shape brushing over New England
and drifting east, it was down to 50
mph. It was expected to drop below
tropical storm strength 39 mph
before midnight, and was to drift
into Canada later Sunday or early
Monday.
Just another storm, said Scott
Beller, who was at a Lowes hard-
ware store in the Long Island ham-
let of Centereach, looking for a gen-
erator because his power was out.
The Northeast was spared the
urban nightmare some had worried
about crippled infrastructure,
stranded people and windows
blown out of skyscrapers. Early
assessments showed it wasnt as
bad as we thought it would be,
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
said.
Later in the day, the extent of the
damage became clearer. Flood
waters were rising across New
Jersey, closing side streets and
major highways including the New
Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 295.
In Essex County, authorities used a
ve-ton truck to ferry people away
from their homes as the Passaic
River neared its expected crest
Sunday night.
Twenty homes on Long Island
Sound in Connecticut were
destroyed by churning surf. The tor-
rential rain chased hundreds of peo-
ple in upstate New York from their
homes and washed out 137 miles of
the states main highway.
In Massachusetts, the National
Guard had to help people evacuate.
Impact from Irene less than feared
REUTERS
A resident looks on at the Manhattan skyline along Hudson river after the
pass of Hurricane Irene at Hoboken in New Jersey Sunday.Hurricane Irene
swept along the New Jersey shore early on Sunday,knocking down trees,
leaving thousands of people without power and causing ooding.
WASHINGTON Damage from
Irene appears to be less than feared, a
bit of reassuring news for a fragile
economy.
Insured damage from Irene will
range between $2 billion and $3 bil-
lion, and the total losses will likely
be about $7 billion, according to pre-
liminary estimates by Kinetic
Analysis Corp. a consulting rm.
Both gures are less than had been
expected and likely mean little dam-
age to the nations $14 trillion econ-
omy.
Irene left several places with
black eyes, but it doesnt seem to
have delivered an economic knock-
out, said Ryan Sweet, an economist
at Moodys Analytics.
The estimates from Kinetic
Analysis, based in Silver Spring,
Md., suggest that Irene will have
caused far less insured damage than
the $6 billion the industry paid out
after Hurricane Isabel struck the East
Coast in 2003.
The long-term costs of Irene will
grow as storm-ravaged areas deal
with lost business, insurance claims,
dislocated workers and transporta-
tion disruptions costs that will
take months to fully calculate.
Still, rebuilding and repairing the
damage from the storm should be
enough to boost economic output in
the nal three months of this year
and perhaps beyond, economists say.
This region is very highly
insured, so a lot of money will start
pouring in, and that should re-
employ a lot of construction workers
who are now out of work, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys.
Zandi said he thinks the benets
from rebuilding could extend into
next years January-March quarter.
Billions will be spent on rebuild-
ing and recovery, noted David
Kotok, chairman of Cumberland
Advisors. That will put some people
back to work, at least temporarily.
For now, power outages and ood-
ing will close some businesses, cost-
ing workers lost pay and likely
boosting temporary layoffs.
Transportation and shipping may
also be disrupted.
Chuck Watson, Kinetics director
of research and development, noted
that the impact on businesses was
limited, in part, because the storm hit
on a weekend. Even so, Watson and
Sweet said small businesses on the
North Carolina coast will likely lose
two weekends of tourist activity,
including the travel-heavy Labor
Day weekend.
Millions of people have lost power
from the storm, and analysts said the
length of the outages and the extent
of disruption to public transportation
in cities like New York will help
determine the economic damage.
Storm to cost billions in cleanup
NEW YORK When the clouds
parted, Wall Street wasnt swamped.
Coney Islands world-famous
Cyclone roller coaster was still
standing. The Empire State Building
hadnt lost a single window.
And New Yorkers hardly missed a
beat after Irene a hurricane
demoted to a tropical storm just
before it made it to the big city
swept through Sunday morning.
Just hours after an all-night, win-
dow-rattling drenching from the
storm, people were back on the
streets, jogging, milling around
Times Square, walking dogs and sur-
veying the damage, which consisted
mostly of downed trees, power out-
ages and neighborhood ooding.
The subway system, shut down
Saturday because of the risk of ood-
ing, was still out of service, and trains
probably wont be running in time for
the Monday morning commute, mean-
ing it could be a hellish start of the
work week for millions of New
Yorkers.
But for a while at least, it was a
fun little adventure, said Zander
Lassen, who spent the night at a boat-
house in lower Manhattan babysit-
ting beached sailboats.
To be sure, there were terrifying
moments: Firefighters on Staten
Island rescued dozens of people
trapped by floodwaters. On the
Queens seashore, part of a pier col-
lapsed and two summer bungalows
were reduced to piles of timber.
City ofcials worried saltwater
would swamp lower Manhattan and
damage the underground power lines
that serve Wall Street, crippling the
nations nancial system. But that did-
nt happen. The main stock exchanges
were set to open as scheduled Monday.

MEXICO CITY Mexicos most
powerful drug cartel appears to be
expanding methamphetamine pro-
duction on a massive scale, lling a
gap left by the breakdown of a rival
gang that was once the top trafcker
of the synthetic drug.
The globe-spanning Sinaloa cartel
is suspected of dealing record tons of
drugs and precursor chemicals
processed in industrial-sized opera-
tions.
The apparent increase in the
Sinaloa groups involvement comes
as the Mexican government says it
has dismantled the La Familia gang
with key arrests and killings of its
leadership, and as Mexico is once
again the primary source of meth to
the United States, according to U.S.
drug intelligence reports.
Methamphetamine production,
gauged by seizures of labs and drugs
in Mexico, has increased dramatical-
ly since 2008.
Mexican authorities have made
two major busts in as many months in
the quiet central state of Queretaro. In
one case, they seized nearly 500 tons
(450 metric tons) of precursor chem-
icals. Another netted 3.4 tons (3.1
metric tons) of pure meth, which at
$15,000 a pound would have a street
value of more than $100 million.
Authorities said they couldnt put a
value on the precursors, which were
likely headed for a 300-foot-long
(100-meter-long) industrial process-
ing lab found buried 12 feet (4
meters) underground in a farm eld
in the cartels home, Sinaloa state.
We think it was Sinaloa, said a
U.S. law enforcement ofcial in
Mexico, noting that Sinaloa can pig-
gyback meth onto the network it
already has for cocaine, heroin and
marijuana. They may now have this
renewed interest in trying to control a
bigger portion of the meth market.
Although La Familia has distribution
points in the U.S. ... they dont have
the distribution network that Sinaloa
cartel has. He couldnt be named for
security reasons.
Steve Preisler, an industrial
chemist who wrote the book Secrets
of Methamphetamine Manufacture
and is sometimes called the father of
modern meth-making, said the
quantity is just amazing.
It is a huge amount of starting
material which would allow them to
dominate the world market,
Preisler, who served 3 1/2 years in
prison more than two decades
ago, emailed the Associated
Press in reply to questions.
He added that the most ef-
cient production methods would
yield about half the weight of the pre-
cursors in uncut meth, or between
200 and 250 tons, which could be
worth billions of dollars.
Officials
of Mex-
i c o s
fed-
eral police,
army and attorney generals ofce
refused to comment on who owned
the meth lab or precursor warehouses.
Cartel makes big move into meth
By Tom Coyne
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Weeks
after Indiana began the nations
broadest school voucher program,
thousands of students have trans-
ferred from public to private
schools, causing a spike in enroll-
ment at some Catholic institutions
that were only recently on the brink
of closing for lack of pupils.
Its a scenario public school advo-
cates have long feared: Students
eeing local districts in large num-
bers, taking with them vital tax dol-
lars that often end up at parochial
schools. Opponents say the practice
violates the separation of church
and state.
In at least one district, public
school principals have been plead-
ing with parents not to move their
children.
The bottom line from our per-
spective is, when you cut through all
the chaff, nobody can deny that pub-
lic money is going to be taken from
public schools, and theyre going to
end up in private, mostly religious
schools, said Nate Schnellenberger,
president of the Indiana State
Teachers Association.
Under a law signed in May by
Gov. Mitch Daniels, more than
3,200 Indiana students are receiving
vouchers to attend private schools.
That number is expected to climb
signicantly in the next two years as
awareness of the program increases
and limits on the number of appli-
cants are lifted.
The vouchers are government-
issued certicates that can be applied
to private tuition, essentially allowing
parents to channel some of the tax
dollars they would normally pay to
public schools to other institutions.
Until Indiana started its program,
most voucher systems were limited
to poor students, those in failing
schools or those with special needs.
But Indianas is signicantly larger,
offering money to students from
middle-class homes and solid
school districts.
Nearly 70 percent of the vouchers
approved statewide are for students
opting to attend Catholic schools,
according to gures provided to The
Associated Press by the ve dioce-
ses in Indiana. The majority are in
the urban areas of Indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, South Bend and Gary,
where many public schools have
long struggled.
Vouchers prompt thousands to change schools

WASHINGTON U.S. and
Pakistani ofcials said Saturday that
al-Qaidas second-in-command,
Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been
killed in Pakistan, delivering anoth-
er big blow to a terrorist group that
the U.S. believes to be on the verge
of defeat.
Al-Rahman was killed Monday in
the lawless Pakistani tribal region of
Waziristan, according to a senior
administration ofcial who insisted
on anonymity to discuss intelligence
issues.
A Pakistani intelligence ofcial
said al-Rahman died in a U.S. mis-
sile strike in Machi Khel village in
North Waziristan on Monday.
Since Navy SEALs stormed
Osama bin Ladens compound and
killed him in May, the Obama
administration has been unusually
frank in its assessment that al-Qaida
is on the ropes, its leadership in dis-
array.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
said last month that al-Qaidas
defeat was within reach if the U.S.
could mount a string of successful
attacks.
Now is the moment, following
what happened with bin Laden, to
put maximum pressure on them,
Panetta said, because I do believe
that if we continue this effort we can
really cripple al-Qaida as a major
threat.

OPINION 9
Response to printed
opinion of Myles Duffy
Editor,
I was intrigued by the logic in the
letter by Myles Duffy (Leaf blowers
in Burlingame published in the Aug.
23 edition of the Daily Journal) arguing
that electric leaf blowers are less ef-
cient than gas blowers. Mr. Duffy stat-
ed that electric blowers take twice as
long as gas blowers to gather leaves. In
my experience with both gas and elec-
tric blowers, I have found no difference
in efciency. Given the large variety of
both gas and electric blowers, this over-
arching statement leaves me dubious
about Duffys argument. I can see how
running a gas blower half as long as an
electric motor might save energy, but
that does not mean that the cleanliness
of the emissions are equal. Gas motors
localize exhaust in my neighborhood
while an electric motor can be powered
by a variety of energy sources such as
solar, wind, coal and oil which exhaust
at the power plant. Gas motors only use
a diminishing resource, fossil fuel, to
power them. And if the doubling of car-
cinogens is a concern, I suggest an
alternative leaf removal method called
raking as a solution to the issue.

Remembering Coach Parks
Editor,
I met Coach Ben Parks in 1967. We
were coming out of heavy times as
racial riots were happening during my
freshman year in 1966 at Menlo-
Atherton High School. In the movie
Remember the Titans, Denzel
Washington plays the football coach at
a recently integrated high school in
1971. The school board forced to inte-
grate. They combined the white school
and the black school into one. It was
the same thing with Coach Parks and
he did it with gusto.
In many ways, his life was a bridge
between his African-American heritage
and the afuent white community
that surrounded him. He built bridges
of understanding and compassion in
innumerable situations; from his racial-
ly tense and often violent high school
to his own prejudiced neighborhood.
Between races, religions, ages and
between rich students and poor. He
continued to reach out to the Mexican-
American community where he was fed
and cared for as a child and continued
to provide food and clothing to many
migrant eld workers. He was a living
example of giving in action; giving
all that he had, asking nothing in
return. Although his story has special
appeal to African-American and Latino
audiences, it will also appeal to every
person interested in bridging gaps
between races, generations and eco-
nomic groups. Coachs story is univer-
sal and his message transcends the
boundaries of race, ethnicity, geogra-
phy and culture. He will be missed!

Spending and economic
health in America
Editor,
As writer Gore Vidal said, we are the
United States of Amnesia. Why
would anyone want Herbert Hoover
again for president? Yes, his prescrip-
tion for the looming Great Depression
was to demand a balanced federal
budget and to institute austerity to
wring out the excess that he saw as the
cause of the stock market crash and
Americas doldrums. President
Roosevelt realized that job creation,
even if it was of dubious quality, was
the real prescription to get America
working again.
Sorry if this is ancient history, but we
are looking at a scenario that is much
the same. The decit must wait.
Federal, state and local governments
need to be adding employees, rebuild-
ing infrastructure and providing wage
earners with something to prevent their
home foreclosures. Letter writers like
Alfred Lerner and Jorg Aadahl have it
right. Matt Grocott is in the Herbert
Hoover camp. The shovel-ready jobs
are the ones that just require a recall
slip to return to work. The private sec-
tor wont spend on expansion as there
is no shovel-ready demand. It aint
pretty, but there it is. If money must be
printed, then print it. The Chinese debt
holders need a vibrant America to pay
them back, not a stagnant one. Tax the
rich and put a small tax on nancial
transactions over a certain amount to
discourage speculation. End corporate
loopholes once and for all. Stop wast-
ing money on wars that just make us
more enemies. Money spent on arma-
ments produce fewer jobs than that
spent providing for everyday needs of
Americans.

F
or California legislators who
want to help the unemployed
get back to work and provide
relief to nancially strapped counties at
the same time, Assembly Bill 1182
should make sense.
The measure by Assemblyman Roger
Hernandez, D-West Covina, would
eliminate the $4,650 vehicle asset limit
for welfare eligibility. Fifteen other
states have done so.
But in California, youre not eligible
for welfare if you own a car worth
$4,650 or more. This limit has not been
adjusted in 15 years, and is among the
lowest in the nation.
Beyond denying government assis-
tance to needy people, the car asset test
imposes a costly burden on counties
whose welfare eligibility workers spend
an estimated 15 to 30 minutes deter-
mining the worth of a car every time
they process a CalWORKs application,
and again and again at every six-month
CalWORKs renewal period.
The rule also hurts people trying to
get a job. The lack of reliable trans-
portation is a major barrier to employ-
ment in California. Any car worth
$4,650 or less is likely to be a piece of
junk and unreliable.
Its that reality that prompted
Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries, R-Lake
Elsinore, to break with the majority of
his GOP colleagues and vote for the
Hernandez bill. Jeffries says he would
have preferred a bill that raised the cap,
not eliminated it.
Nonetheless, he voted for it because
you need a reliable vehicle to nd work
or maintain a job. Five other Assembly
Republicans joined Jeffries to support
the bill.
Many formerly solidly middle class
residents who paid taxes all their lives
are seeking government help for the
rst time because of the recession.
Many have high-end cars purchased in
good times.
When these rst-time welfare appli-
cants sell the family SUV, worth maybe
$10,000, so that they can qualify for
public assistance, they give up a crucial
tool they need to get back on their feet
off the unemployment rolls.
The Hernandez bill is pending in the
state Senate. It should be approved and
then signed by the governor.
In these tough economic times, elimi-
nating the car asset test is the right
thing to do. It not only will help the
jobless, but also will save tax dollars in
the long run.
Vehicle asset limit outdated, unjust
The newest
supervisor
I
asked new supervisor Dave Pine what surprised him
most about the job. He joked that he hasnt had to wear
a tie so often in 20 years. But on a more serious note,
Dave said he was surprised that most of the board meetings
he has attended to date (he took ofce in late May and had
attended six meetings when I interviewed him) were devoted
to land use issues, often about one or two homes, and were
not devoted to the major issues facing the county propos-
als for a new jail and the structural decit.
As Supervisor Carole Groom shared with me soon after she
took a seat on the board (previously she was a member of the San
Mateo City Council), she too was surprised how major discussions
seem to be in committees rather than before the full board. The
board meets in public session two times a month. Members are
assigned by the board chair to committees. Pine, who has valuable
experience in nance and business from his previous work in
Silicon Valley, is not on the nance and operations committee.
Recently elected Don Horsley, our former sheriff, is not on the
criminal justice committee. Instead these newest members are
assigned to the environmental
quality and legislation commit-
tees. But that could change
with new assignments next
year.
Pine said there is no question
the county needs a new
womens jail. The dilemma is
whether a new or expanded jail
is needed to relieve pressure on
the existing mens facility
which was built to house 688
inmates. Today, the average
daily inmate population is
between 832 and 851. It does-
nt seem that long ago that we
built the McGuire Correctional Facility but time ies and condi-
tions change. The new condition is realignment whereby the state
plans to send more prisoners to county jails. Meanwhile, 73 per-
cent of current inmates are awaiting sentencing. The problem is of
course money. I got the impression that Dave has not made up his
mind on this and would like to explore additional options to incar-
ceration for non-violent offenders. The county already has a few.
Pine was also surprised at how many big-tickets items are
on the consent agenda. He has asked a few to be taken off
for discussion and believes there should be a threshold limit-
ing the dollar amount of contracts on consent.
He cast his rst minority vote (it was 4-1) against the ser-
geants contract. They are already guaranteed above market wages,
1 percent more than sergeants in other counties and the county
pays 75 percent of their pension costs. Even though Pine admitted
the sergeants union had reopened the contract and made conces-
sions, the approved contract, in his opinion, was still unaffordable.
Hes still on a learning curve but loves the work. He espe-
cially likes the diversity of issues. One can dene the job by
how much time you spend on certain subjects.
When I met Dave on a late hot afternoon and yes, he was
wearing a tie he had started the day at 8:30 a.m. to walk a new
Stanford trail at the request of the university. Stanford has been in
a 10-year battle with the supes about building a bike/pedestrian
path on Alpine Road between Menlo Park and Portola Valley.
The university needs mitigation for expansion someplace else.
Twice the supes have turned down the $10 million offer but now
Stanford is more hopeful because the county could really use the
money. Pine was amused that he started walking with Larry
Horton, Stanfords senior associate vice president and then was
joined by Provost John Etchemendy (a post formerly held by
Condoleezza Rice). Stanford is really pouring it on.
At 11 a.m., he had a meeting regarding PG&Es energy
upgrade program whereby the company and the county provide
rebates of $1,000-$4,000 for energy efcient improvements. Pine
was disappointed at how few people had taken advantage of the
program and that most of the funds had been spent on marketing.
Meanwhile the federal funds will run out by March. So he
encouraged the county to put in more matching funds to attract
more takers (The county has approximately $300,000 to match
PG&E rebates.) Then it was back to the ofce in Redwood City
to meet with San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein to discuss possible
ways to save money on re station operations. After that it was
time to prepare for the next days board meeting.
***
After an expensive and competitive campaign for supervisor
in March to ll March Churchs seat, Pine must run again in
June. The June election will be a full and exciting one. There
will be the open primaries for state ofcials. Now
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, may be running for
state Sen. Leland Yees newly congured state Senate seat.
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson will be termed out and there
will be a race for her seat between Memo Morantes, member of
the San Mateo County Board of Education, and Shelly Masur,
popular trustee on the Redwood City Elementary School Board.

BUSINESS 10
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK Maybe Warren
Buffett can strike a deal to buy the entire
stock market, too.
At least the markets plan to open
Monday, but after Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke announced no
new program Friday to lift stocks,
investors sold lots of them.
That set at least one Wall Street econ-
omist to musing whether Buffett might
be willing to lend a helping hand
instead.
He could buy the entire S&P,
Mizuho Securities Steven Ricchiuto
said in a nod to how Buffetts $5 billion
investment in Bank of America Corp.
sent its stock soaring just a day before.
But I dont think even he has enough
money to do that.
In the event, no savior was needed, at
least on Friday. As Bernanke spoke at a
conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., the
Dow Jones industrial average fell hard,
then reversed course to close at
11,284.54, up 4.3 percent for the week
after being down the past four. Investors
apparently reinterpreted the lack of any
news of a new Fed stimulus to mean the
central bank wasnt so worried about the
economy after all, and maybe they
shouldnt be either.
Still, investors are down 13 percent in
a month, and few expect market turmoil
to disappear soon.
The good news for stock investors is
that most security exchanges said by
Sunday afternoon that they planned to
operate normally Monday, and stocks
appear relatively cheap. Companies in
the Standard & Poors 500, a broader
index than the Dow, are now trading at
an average 11 times what Wall Street
analysts expect them to generate in per-
share earnings over the next twelve
months. The long-term average is 15
times.
These earnings ratios are only one
gauge of value, and analyst expectations
of what companies can earn sometimes
prove too high. So far, if anything,
theyve been too low. A report from
research rm FactSet released Friday
said 75 percent of companies that have
reported earnings for the second quarter
have beaten estimates.
More encouraging, the earnings them-
selves were up an average 11.8 percent.
Will rise in stocks last?
NEW YORK Travelers across the
country faced days of grief as thousands
of flights were canceled Saturday
because of Hurricane Irene.
Airlines scrapped more than 9,000
flights this weekend from North
Carolina to Boston, grounding would-be
travelers as Irene traveled up the East
Coast. There were more than 3,900 can-
cellations on Saturday alone.
Millions of passengers will be affected
by the time the storm nally dies as air-
lines work to accommodate travelers on
very full ights. The biggest airlines,
United Continental Holdings Inc. and
Delta Air Lines Inc., each canceled thou-
sands of ights.
All New York City-area airports
closed to arriving ights at noon on
Saturday, when the citys public trans-
portation system shut down. By evening,
the ve major airports were closed.
Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport and Washington Dulles
International Airport were both open
Saturday afternoon, but most ights had
been canceled. The airports that will be
most affected Sunday will be Newark
Liberty International and New Yorks
John F. Kennedy International, both with
more than 1,200 cancellations, accord-
ing to flight tracking service
FlightAware. Bostons Logan and
Washington Reagan were next in line.

SAO PAULO Marcio Christiansen
reeled off tales of the growing ranks of
rich Brazilians who visit his luxury
Ferretti yacht showroom, where clients
sip espressos on an oversized sable sofa
and electronic music bubbles in the air.
One man paid $2 million for a ship,
Christiansen said, after succumbing within
30 minutes to his kids pleas of Buy it,
daddy, buy it! Another toured the
sparkling 53-foot yacht on the showroom
oor, then asked to discuss it over lunch.
The waiter comes over to take our order
and the client asks to borrow a piece of paper
from his pad, said Christiansen, CEO of
Ferrettis Brazil group. He starts working
out a contract on it and weve agreed to it
before Ive asked for a sandwich.
Brazil has always had its select group of
superrich with extravagant tastes. But
booming commodity prices fueled by
Chinese demand, along with some of the
worlds biggest offshore oil discoveries,
have created an expanding, new class of
wealthy Brazilians. They, in turn, are boost-
ing the international yacht market even as it
plummets in the U.S. and Europe.
The number of millionaire households in
South Americas biggest nation is forecast
to more than triple by 2020. Their spend-
ing, along with that of a newly swollen
middle class, has protected Brazil more
than any other nation in the region from
economic shocks since 2008.

Junior lineman Wyatt Rouser, in his second year on varsity, will need to perform on both sides of the
ball for the Menlo School football team to have a chance at success this year.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Menlo football coach
Mark Newton took over the pro-
gram in 2004, the Knights were
hardly a football powerhouse.
When Menlo re-entered the
Central Coast Section in 1996, the
Knights made the playoffs only
three times all losses.
Fast forward to 2011 and the
Knights are now perennial CCS
participants. It took Newton and
his coaching staff two years to
return to the playoffs and the
Knights have been in CCS four of
the last ve years, picking up their
rst playoff win in ages in 2009
when they advanced to the
Division IV championship game.
Now, nothing less than a playoff
berth is expected.
I smile to myself when the kids
expect to make the playoffs,
Newton said. I think they expect
it of themselves. Theyre con-
dent. They expect a lot of them-
selves.
Although the Knights are
replacing a number of key compo-
nents from last years CCS semi-
nal team, Newton is condent the
entire program from frosh-soph
to varsity now has the ability
to reload as opposed to rebuild.
The last few years, weve had it
going pretty good. We have an
experienced group of coaches on
the frosh-soph and varsity levels.
Its a pretty clean line from fresh-
man to senior year. Theyre com-
pletely ready and developed (when
they get to the varsity level),
Newton said. We try to keep a lot
of sophomores on frosh-soph so
we can develop kids. Weve had a
lot of success on both levels. The
kids have seen it. The expectations

To say that the 2010 season was rough for
the Mills football team would be an under-
statement - 10 games, 10 losses.
And unfortunately, they werent just Ls
for the Vikings, they were ugly ones; to the
tune of a 46-6 average - in fact, in league
play alone, Mills was outscored 235-37.
But the nice thing about any new season is
that all is forgotten, and the Vikings begin
the 2011 campaign with a group of young
players hoping to take a step in the right
direction and be competitive in the wide-
open Peninsula Athletic League Lake
Division.
Its a whole team, said Mills head coach
Packy Moss. Its a young team. There arent
many kids back from last years team. Its a
very junior-heavy type of team. Theyre a
good group of kids, they work hard, they
play hard so Im hoping we can compete and
try to win some games this year.
Maybe its a good thing that Mills will fea-
ture a lot of new faces on the varsity roster.
But the reality is, it might prove to be a
tough task too keep them all healthy. Moss
said his roster is only 18 to 21 players deep,
with the majority of them slated to see con-
siderable minutes on both sides of the foot-
ball. Mills success on the eld in 2011 will
revolve around having enough bodies to
physically compete (and complete) a foot-
ball game.
Were just trying to get them to play
together, Moss said, play for each other
and improve every week. We cant get dis-
couraged (this year) because we are young.

INDY IN SONOMA: WILL POWER WINS FROM THE POLE AT INFINEON >>> PAGE 13
By Genaro C. Armas
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
An American ag draped around
his shoulders, Braydon Salzman
couldnt contain his glee when he
found California teammate Nick
Pratto to give him a postgame hug.
The boys from Huntington Beach
are headed home with a Little
League World Series championship.
Pratto singled in the winning run
with two outs and the bases loaded
in the bottom of sixth inning, and
Salzman pitched a complete-game
three-hitter in a 2-1 victory Sunday
over Hamamatsu City, Japan, and
the tournament title.
USA! USA, yelled fans before
Prattos single.
I was just thinking. Oh God, Oh
God, Before I was getting in the
box, the 12-year-old Pratto said.
But once I got into the box, I
calmed myself by telling myself to
just look for a good pitch.
Prattos clutch hit returned the
World Series title to the United
States with the type of victory even
the big leaguers dream about. A
U.S. team has now won six out of
the last seven World Series, with
Japans win last year the exception.
Pratto tossed his helmet into the
air after rounding rst before his
teammates mobbed him in the
ineld. The teams exchanged hand-
shakes at the plate before
Californias giddy players posed at
the mound with their new champi-
onship banner.
My team is physically smaller
than most of the teams. We didnt
think we would get to this stage,

fought back tears after the game,
said through interpreter Kotaro
Omori. All of the players did such

SAN FRANCISCO The San
Francisco Giants are losing to teams
out of contention. Theyre losing at
home. Great pitching efforts are
being wasted.
All those things are cause for con-
cern as the reigning World Series
champions approach the final
month.
Matt Downs delivered a go-ahead
single with one out in the 11th
inning and the Houston Astros beat
the stumbling Giants 4-3 on Sunday
to salvage a four-game split.
Weve got to win, thats all weve
got to do, pitcher Matt Cain said.
To win, they must score more
runs.
Jose Altuve got things going with
a one-out double against Ramon
Ramirez (2-3) and Downs followed
with a single up the middle. Altuve
was forced into action after slugger
Carlos Lee left in the top of the
ninth with a sprained right ankle,
sustained sliding into second on a
double. Lee was 3 for 4 with two
doubles.
Mark Melancon (7-4) pitched the
Giants lose in extras

10th and got the win despite allowing Mark
DeRosas tying single. David Carpenter n-
ished for his rst career save.
It was a big win, especially to get one late
like that, Downs said. Its easy to get frus-
trated when you blow a lead, but we didnt.
We kept battling like it was just a part of the
game.
The reigning World Series champions fell
four games behind the first-place
Diamondbacks in the NL West race after
Arizona beat the Padres 6-1. The D-backs
come to town Friday for a key weekend
series.
On bring your dog day at AT&T Park, the
Giants continued to experience the dog days.
More missed chances.
They also argued that one chance was taken
from them.
DeRosa singled with one out in the 10th off
Melancon, but was thrown out trying to
stretch it to a double. He slid past the bag and
reached back with his left hand, and replays
showed he appeared to be safe.
DeRosa jumped up to yell at second-base
umpire Dan Bellino and manager Bruce
Bochy was ejected for the second time this
year.
I thought I was safe. I mean its a tough
call, bang bang, DeRosa said. You dont
have a choice, you move on. You battle and
youve got to put it behind us. We cant score-
board watch because weve got our own bag
of issues weve got to deal with and weve got
to get the bats going.
Houston went ahead 3-2 in the 10th on
pinch-hitter Jason Michaels double, then the
Giants came back again.
Jordan Schafer lined a tying RBI single to
right with two outs in the eighth against Cain
to help force extra innings.
The reeling Giants failed to string together
their rst three-game winning streak since
July 17-19 at San Diego. They havent had a
winning home series in ve sets since taking
two of three from Milwaukee from July 22-
24.
San Francisco has played eight straight
games decided by two or fewer runs.
This is a tough loss, no getting around it.
We came back a couple times, Bochy said.
As Ive said, we have to score some runs for
these guys.
The Giants couldnt capitalize in the eighth
after getting consecutive two-out singles by
Jeff Keppinger and Carlos Beltran off Wilton
Lopez. Wesley Wright relieved and retired
Pablo Sandoval on a grounder.
Aubrey Huff hit a tying RBI single off
Houston starter Bud Norris in the seventh to
end a 0-for-15 funk, and singled again in the
ninth but the Giants didnt score. After Huffs
initial hit in the seventh, Norris received a
mound visit before giving up Orlando
Cabreras go-ahead sacrice y on the next
pitch.
That one-run lead didnt last long.
Norris, pitching back home in the Bay
Area, had only allowed one runner to reach
second base before the Giants got to him for
two runs in the seventh. Sandoval drew a one-
out walk to start things off. Brandon Belt sin-
gled to bring up Huff, whose struggles have
some fans and skeptics calling for Bochy to
sit him for an extended period.
Cain, the Giants hard-luck loser for years
now, has only two wins in his last nine starts.
The two-time All-Star struck out pinch-hitter
Jason Bourgeois with the go-ahead run on
rst for the second out of the eighth, then
gave up Schafers tying single.
Cain has received the lowest run support in
the majors since his rst full season in 2006.
Keppinger, acquired by the Giants on July
19 from Houston, was 8 for 26 with three
RBIs against his former team including 5
for 14 this series.
Astros manager Brad Mills had seen
enough.
OK, Keppingers done, Mills joked
before the game. Hes done getting these big
hits against us.
NOTES: Astros SS Clint Barmes had the
day off. ... RHP Tim Lincecum takes the
mound Monday for the Giants against the
Chicago Cubs. The two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner is 3-1 with a 0.91 ERA in his
last four starts. ... Houston heads home to face
Pittsburgh, with Wandy Rodriguez (9-9) get-
ting the ball for the fourth time this year
against the Pirates. He struck out 11
Pittsburgh batters in 5 2-3 innings back on
July 17. ... Astros C Jason Castro, sidelined
all season after right knee surgery, will join
the team in Houston for the homestand to
catch bullpens and take batting practice
before returning to Florida for instructional
league. It will be a good chance for us to see
him and evaluate where he is, Mills said. ...
Mills left passes for his old community col-
lege coach at College of the Sequoias, Bert
Holt, and his wife, Sue.
GIANTS
a wonderful job to get to this stage.
With runners on rst and second, an error
by Japan shortstop Gaishi Iguchi on what
could have been an inning-ending double play
loaded the bases for California. After a force
play at the plate, Pratto smacked a solid liner
to center off reliever Kazuto Takakura that
brought pinch-runner Eric Anderson home
with the winning run.
Pratto did his father, manager Jeff Pratto,
proud. Nick Pratto said it was great to have
his father as his coach, but he kind of gets on
my nerves sometimes.
It was a tting end to a tense game marked
by excellent pitching and timely defense.
Japan starter Shoto Totsuka struck out ve
over 4 1-3 innings, giving up a homer to right
to California slugger Hagen Danner.
First pitch was delayed more than three
hours after the outer bands of Hurricane Irene
brought more rain than expected to the
Williamsport area.
The result was bad, but they really tried
their best, Suzuki said. Todays weather
was difcult for us to get used too. If the
weather was like this in Japan, we wouldnt
have played.
The clouds nally started parting midway
through the game, and sunshine draped the
complex by the time the California players
left the stadium to cheers by friends and fam-
ily.
Neither team could convert on several
chances to break open the pitchers duel ear-
lier in the game.
With runners on rst and second in the top
of the sixth, third baseman Dylan Palmer
blocked the bag from sliding Japan runner
Ken Igeta on a bunt play to help get
California get out the inning.
California put runners on rst and second
with two outs in the fth, but Takakura got a
yout to end the inning.
Playing right eld in the second, Takakura
also made a running catch on y down the
line to save an extra-base hit with a runner on
second.
It was Japan running all over the place in
the third, ashing trademark hustle to scratch
out the games rst run after Seiya Fujitas
solid single to left. Pinch-runner Kaito Suzuki
moved to second on a bunt and raced toward
third with no one covering. The throw
bounced into foul territory, allowing Suzuki
to score easily.
In a gracious postgame gesture, Japans
players and coaches lined up and exchanged
high-fives with the California kids after
Huntington Beach did the traditional victory

SONOMA Will Power inched closer to
IndyCar points leader Dario Franchitti with his
second straight win at Inneon Raceway, then
appropriately shared the podium with his two
teammates.
Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe com-
pleted a 1-2-3 sweep for Team Penske at the
Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma on Sunday the
rst for owner Roger Penske in nearly 20 years
but it was the job the two did on Franchitti
that made the biggest difference.
Franchitti started fourth but couldnt get
around Castroneves or Briscoe, who formed
the perfect blockade and allowed Power to
post his fth victory of the season.
That pulled the Australian within 26 points
of Franchitti with four races to go.
I said before the race that if we could nish
how we started, it would be a perfect week-
end, said Power, who became the rst two-
time winner of this event. Now we have a
legitimate shot at the championship. Two more
road courses, two more ovals and we can get
this.
Power led 71 of the 75 laps while winning
his second consecutive race from the pole here
at Inneon Raceway, the same track where his
career almost ended in 2009 following a hor-
ric crash.
Power has a career-high ve victories, one
shy of the IndyCar single-season record.
More critically, it sets up a wild run for the
championship after Franchitti appeared to be
comfortably ahead in the points race six weeks
ago.
Theres going to be days like this, said
Franchitti, who nished fourth ahead of Target
Chip Ganassi teammate Scott Dixon. I was
pushing as hard as I could just to keep the
Penske cars in sight. I was really on the ragged
edge for pretty much the whole day really.
Power held off a furious charge from
Castroneves following a caution with nine laps
to go.
Unlike two weeks ago in New Hampshire
when a late accident involving Danica Patrick
led to a controversial nish and resulted in
an angry Power making an obscene gesture
toward race ofcials that later earned him a
$30,000 ne the ending was without much
drama.
Power got the jump on Castroneves on the
double-le restart, then ran comfortably ahead
the rest of the way while cruising to his 14th
career IndyCar victory.
As he made his way to the winners circle,
Power stopped to make another gesture with
his hands.
I gave it two ngers up, he cracked. Not
the middle ones, though.
Power has a long history at this Northern
California track. Two years ago he had to be
airlifted out of here in a helicopter after run-
ning into the stalled car of Nelson Phillipe.
Power suffered a broken back in the accident
and there was some question whether he
would ever race again.
He came back strong in 2010 and won both
the pole and the race before repeating the feat
again this year.
Its one of the tracks I seem to click with,
Power said. It was very comforting to have
Helio and Ryan behind me on the last restart,
two guys you can totally rely on.
Castroneves, who has had an up-and-down
season, and Briscoe did the rest.
We sort of got to a point in the race where
our focus was just to hold off Dario, said
Briscoe, the only other driver to lead a lap.
We started 1-2-3 and we nished that way.
Right now for this team to win the champi-
onship we need to keep Dario behind Will.
Its the rst IndyCar sweep for Team Penske
since Paul Tracy, Al Unser Jr. and Emmerson
Fittipaldi placed 1-2-3 at Nazareth in 1994. Its
also the rst sweep of the top three positions
by any IndyCar team since Andretti Autosport
took the top four spots at St. Petersburg in
2005.
Its invaluable to have guys like that per-
forming at the top level, taking points away
from Dario, Power said. I expect them to be
the same the next four races now that weve
got a bit of momentum.
Ryan Hunter-Reay, whose Aug. 14 win in
New Hampshire was upheld by an appeals
panel earlier in the week, nished 10th after
starting in 19th.
Patrick placed 21st in what is likely her nal
appearance her in an IndyCar. Patrick
announced her plans to leave the open-wheel
series and join NASCAR in 2012.

BRISTOL, Tenn. It didnt take
long for Paul Menards race to go
awry at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Flagged for speeding on pit road a
mere 34 laps into Saturday nights
race, the penalty set the tone for a
disappointing night for Menard and
a handful of other drivers trying des-
perately to make the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship.
Man, were giving it away right
now for sure, said Menard. Just a
bad night. Frustrating. If there is
something that could have gone
wrong, it did.
Menard, who also ran into the
back of Denny Hamlin as the two
tried to avoid a wreck in front of
them, nished 30th and dropped two
spots in the standings to 20th. Its a
nightmare slide for a driver who just
one month ago earned a break-
through victory at Indianapolis to
jump into the race for a Chase berth.
New NASCAR rules this season
created two wild-cards into the 12-
driver Chase eld. The spots are des-
ignated for the two drivers with the
most victories who arent already
ranked inside the top-10 in points.
The format has created tremen-
dous uncertainty as to who will
make the Chase with two races
remaining to set the eld. Four driv-
ers at the top of the standings
Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Matt
Kenseth and Carl Edwards
clinched Chase berths, but of the
bubble drivers, only Brad
Keselowski and Denny Hamlin did
anything to help themselves.
Keselowski picked up his third
win of the season, which should
almost guarantee him one of the
wild cards. It also moved him to
11th in the standings, and hes only
21 points away from unseating Tony
Stewart for the 10th position and
locking in his berth.
Whos 10th? Is it Tony? Tony is
pretty good, Keselowski said.
Beating Tony Stewart by an aver-
age of 10 positions over two races,
thats going to be pretty tough to be
honest.
Try telling that to Stewart, who
has run terrible of late.
A week after declaring his
Stewart-Haas Racing team doesnt
deserve a spot in the Chase, Stewart
backed it up with one of the most
perplexing weekends of his career.
He qualied last in the 43-car eld
on the same day teammate Ryan
Newman won the pole.
Although he vowed in driver
introductions not to stay in the back
of the pack for long, he was lapped
early and often as Stewart struggled
to a 28th-place nish.
Its no different than it was last
week, Stewart said. The feeling is
the same you still want to make
it. Were working hard at it.
Clint Bowyer was just as bad as
Stewart on Saturday night, even
though Bristol is one of his better
tracks.
Hoping to use his push to make
the Chase as a distraction to his
messy free agency, Bowyer instead
ran in the back of the pack near
Stewart most of the race and nished
26th. He dropped a spot in the stand-
ings to 12th, and because hes win-
less this season, hed be bounced out
of the Chase by wild card drivers.

of themselves are high. They want to
make a statement as a team.
Menlo has earned quite a reputa-
tion over the last couple of years for
developing a high-octane passing
attack. The last two starting quarter-
backs Danny Diekroeger and
Robert Wickers have both been
among the CCS leaders, as has a
slew of wide receivers.
Newton and the Knights will be
breaking in a new quarterback and
wideouts this season, but dont look
at that as a negative. Newton said he
has three quarterbacks who are all
good enough to lead the team and a
group of receivers that could wreak
havoc on opposing defenses.
We have, arguably, one of the
deepest receiving corps weve ever
had here. That speaks to the frosh-
soph development, Newton said.
We hope to rotate a lot of guys. We
might have a few guys in the top-20
in CCS, rather than having the No. 1
and No. 5 guy, which might actually
make us better.
Chris Reed is expected to take over
as the main target, but he is hardly
alone. Colum Coyne, Max Parker,
Conor Patterson, Andrew Sanford
and Conner Statsny are all expected
to make signicant contributions as
well.
We have eight to 10 guys who can
play, Newton said.
The question for the Knights is
who will be getting the ball to those
receivers. Matt Bradley, Jack
Heneghan and Mike Diekroeger all
split time at the frosh-soph level last
season, with Bradley getting more
time than the other two.
Bradley is also the smallest of
three at 5-foot-10, 148 pounds.
Heneghan goes 6-foot-3, 205 and
Diekroeger is 6-foot-2, 195. At this
point, however, none has separated
from the other.
We played four quarterbacks at
the frosh-soph level last year,
Newton said. These kids can do it
and know the system.
Newton is hoping one distin-
guished himself at the Knights
scrimmage Friday, but there is a
chance he could rotate them once the
regular season starts.
Im not really worried about the
rotation, Newton said. If it came to
that, I think we have a good under-
standing of what they can do. We can
do things to (take advantage of) their
skill set. Usually, its a team chem-
istry issue and the team responds
well to all three.
Its a good problem to have.
The Knights will also be replacing
their starting running back and
instead of relying on just one, they
will use a running back-by-commit-
tee approach. Newton is actually
tweaking the ground attack.
We have three good single
backs, Newton said. Were not
going to play so much one single
back as we have in the past. We have
three good guys who are all slightly
different.
Dylan Mayer and Chris Zeisler
will see a lot of action in the back-
eld, along with Heru Peacock, but
Mayer and Zeisler will rotate often as
they start on defense as well.
We dont want to wear them
down, Newton said.
The offensive line returns three
players who saw signicant time last
year, including Wyatt Rouser, who
will be a second-year starter as a jun-
ior. Joining him will be Craig
Robbins and Spencer Buja.
We have three returning guys
who are all really experienced,
Newton said. Buja dropped 10 to 15
pounds and he might be better (than
last year). Craig also dropped 15
pounds. Hes super quick. We tell all
our guys we want quickness and
strength.
That quickness and strength will
also be an asset for those three on the
defensive side of the ball as well.
Because Knights are usually small
team numbers-wise, nearly everyone
learns both an offensive and defen-
sive position.
This year, look for the Menlo
defense to do things opponents
havent seen before.
We got a lot of schemes in.
Were running a lot of different stuff
and the kids are absorbing it,
Newton said. With Buja and Mayer
at linebacker, and Rouser at nose
tackle, were anxious to see what
they can do. We feel good inside and
out. Zeisler and Carson Badger are
looking good at safety.
The biggest question mark for the
Knights is how quickly they can
come together as a team. They will
have a lot of rst-year varsity players
and the key to success will be how
quickly they can nd a comfort level.
We have a young team, 13 sen-
iors, Newton said. The young guys
are going to be playing right away.
They did really well at the younger
level. They have a good understand-
ing of our schemes. Its about how
quickly they can catch their groove
and get their condence.
[This year] could go really, really
well.

Were going to make mistakes but
we have to keep working hard and
stay together.
While there arent too many silver
lining-esque things about the 2010
season, one might have been the
emergence of Weyland Quan, the
Vikings running back. Quan returns
and will see the majority of the car-
ries on offense. Hell have to come
up big, especially given the inexperi-
ence around him. Well run the ball
quite a bit, throw off the runs. Id say
Weyland will get a lot of carries,
Moss said.
Handing him the ball will be rst-
year varsity quarterback Hershel Lal.
Hes a junior, hes young, so well
have to limit some of the things he
does because of his lack of varsity
experience, Moss said. But hope-
fully week by week hell get better
and learn more. In the scrimmage, he
started a little slow, but he came on
more toward the end and he did a
good job.
The inexperience continues on the
offensive line where the Vikings
return only one starter and will play
four juniors.
Defensively, there is nothing left
for the Vikings to do but to improve
after surrendering 469 points in 2010
- by far the biggest total surrendered
in their last seven season and worst in
the Lake Division by 170.
Were going to be relying on our
athletic ability, Moss said. We have
some guys on defense that are very
athletic. They get to the ball and are a
hard-hitting group. Theyre very
aggressive.
But, as mentioned, a lot of the
Mills success will rely on their
health; with Moss saying that the
majority of his offense will head to
the sideline and spring back out on
defense.
Were going to try and work
together, Moss said. Were going to
be young and were going to make
mistakes. But as long as we keep
improving and working hard, well
hopefully have some success.
Hopefully by the time we get to
league, well be ready to go.

DojoUSA World Training Center San Bruno
650.589.9148
By Pat Graham
DAEGU, South Korea Still fuming
from his false start that knocked him from the
100-meter nal, Usain Bolt crouched slightly
on the line and waited. Then he zipped into
the darkness of a deserted practice track.
There, only a short hike from the main sta-
dium, he didnt have to worry about jumping
the gun.
Bolt missed out on defending his title
Sunday when he jumped from the blocks
early at the world championships. He was
disqualied by a highly debated zero-toler-
ance false start rule enacted last year.
Hes human, isnt he? I always knew he
was human, said his coach, Glen Mills. He
will pick himself up. Hes a champion.
Just not on this night.
Bolt knew instantly it was his error, too.
Soon after the gun went off, soon after taking
just a few steps out of the blocks, another gun
blasted the knot-in-your-stomach sound
for any sprinter.
Bolts eyes grew big. He pulled his shirt
over his face, then ripped it off and whipped
it around in his hand. Grudgingly, Bolt left
the stage he has dominated since the 2008
Beijing Olympics.
Instead, it was left to another Jamaican to
wrap himself in the countrys ag Yohan
Blake, a 21-year-old up-and-comer that for-
mer Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene
predicted to win.
Blake nished in a modest time of 9.92
seconds, 0.16 seconds ahead of American
rival Walter Dix. Kim Collins of Saint Kitts
and Nevis, the 2003 world champion and now
an aging 35-year-old veteran, was third.
Denitely, I wasnt focusing on beating
Usain, Blake said. I was just focusing on
nishing in the top three.
This was also a day that Oscar Pistorius,
the double-amputee sprinter known as the
Blade Runner, showed he indeed belongs
on the same track with able-bodied athletes at
big meets. Springing along on his carbon-
ber blades, Pistorius advanced to the semi-
nals of the 400.
A big sense of relief, he said.
On the track, it was a big show for the
Americans. Defending champion Trey
Hardee and Ashton Eaton gave the U.S. its
first 1-2 decathlon finish at the worlds.
Brittney Reese defended her long jump title,
and Allyson Felix breezed into the nals of
the 400 with an easy win in her heat.
This entire competition was setting up as a
stroll for Bolt. Jamaican teammate Asafa
Powell withdrew just before the event began
because of a groin injury, and American rival
Tyson Gay was out with a hip injury. As if to
underscore how easy this might be, Bolt
cruised through his previous two rounds.
Then he false started. It wasnt even close.
Hes 6-foot-5 and its clear when he stands up
in the blocks too soon.
His night done, Bolt gathered his stuff,
slung his backpack over his shoulder and
headed down the tunnel that leads out of the
stadium. He wouldnt talk, glaring at anyone
who got too close or tried to ask any sort of
question as he walked up a path. He went
through a fenced gate that leads to the
warmup track, typically off limits to all but
the competitors.
Once there, he joined a group of friends
and coaches, throwing down his backpack,
taking a swig of water, dumping some on his
head and tossing the bottle aside. He sat
down briey before jumping up and heading
onto the track.
Bolt lined up in Lane 6 one spot from
his lane assignment in the nal waited a
second to compose his thoughts and took off
down the runway with just a few eyes watch-
ing him. He traveled about 100 meters,
turned around, jogged back and went again.
Four times he repeated that. Four times he
paused at the starting line.
He was getting back on the horse again.
After his cool-down, some encouraging
words from the Jamaican contingent and a
quick massage, Bolt trudged across a grass
eld to catch a ride. Before he could reach
the safety of his car, though, he was met by a
few reporters.
Looking for tears? Not going to happen,
said Bolt, his agitation beginning to subside.
Im OK.
Enough to run the 200 meters?
Youll see on Friday, he said, referring to
the start date of the race.
Change the false-start rule?
Silence. And then the car ushered him
away.
I didnt really think they were going to
kick him out, Dix said. How can you kick
Usain out of the race?
This is typically Bolts stage, but the
world-record holder had a little company
Sunday in Pistorius and Hardee. Other win-
ners were Ibrahim Jeilan of Ethiopia
(10,000), Valeriy Borchin of Russia (20-kilo-
meter walk) and Li Yanfeng of China (dis-
cus).
Still, Bolt found a way to steal the spotlight
from Pistorius and everyone else. This 100
will be known not so much for Blakes
crowning achievement but the one in which
Bolt jumped the gun.

MIRABEL, Quebec Brittany Lincicome
was singing in the rain Sunday in the
Canadian Womens Open
I was very patient, singing a lot of songs, very
chatty, Lincicome said after her second LPGA
Tour victory of the season and fth overall.
The weather was not great, but I was still
having fun. Im denitely going to remember
this win.
To stay focused, the long-hitting American
sings to herself as part of her sports psycholo-
gy program.
She wasnt quite ready for an encore in the
media center.
Im not a good singer, so Im not singing
for you, she said.
Lincicome, with former Canadian player
A.J. Eathorne working as her caddie, saved
par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to edge
defending champion Michelle Wie and Stacy
Lewis by a stroke at Hillsdale Golf & Country
Club. Lincicome nished at 13 under and
earned $337,500.
I never won on tour myself, so its kind of
cool to say Ive been involved in two wins in
one year, Eathorne said. I guess, I never
thought it would get that good, that fast.
Its been a lot of fun this week being a
Canadian in Canada. Everyones asking me
why Im not playing and obviously theres a
very good reason Im not playing. Ive got a
great job. I can be involved in a win and I
know my game is not where it needs to be to
do that.
Lewis shot a 67 the best round of the day
to match Wie (72) at 12 under.
I knew the day was going to be hard and
you just have to get through it grind over
every putt and every shot, said Lewis, who
got in 15 holes before the rain started.

OAKLAND Theres nothing
like a trip to Oakland to get Drew
Brees ready for the regular season.
Brees threw for 189 yards and led
New Orleans to scores on all three
drives he played in the Saints 40-20
victory over the Oakland Raiders on
Sunday night.
Brees completed 15 of 23 passes
and looked almost as sharp as he did
in his last trip to Oakland when he
led three touchdown drives in his
only series of a 45-7 victory two
years ago in the third exhibition
game. The Saints used that regular-
season dress rehearsal to go on and
win their rst 13 games and win the
rst Super Bowl title in franchise
history.
The big difference in this years
meeting was the Raiders rst-team
offense looked much better than it
did two years with JaMarcus
Russell at quarterback. Jason
Campbell completed 12 of 17 pass-
es for 150 yards and a touchdown,
capping his rst drive with a 35-
yard scoring strike to Derek Hagan.
Hagan, signed during training
camp, has become one of Oaklands
most reliable receivers this summer,
catching six passes for 121 yards
this game. Rookie Taiwan Jones
also shined in his exhibition debut,
running for 81 yards and a touch-
down and catching two passes for
18 yards.
Campbell also drove the Raiders to
a 57-yard eld goal by Sebastian
Janikowski and had Oakland in posi-
tion for another score before
Jonathon Amayas interception in the
end zone on a deected pass on the
second-to-last play of the rst half.
Brees night was already over at
that point, doing more than enough
in his three drives to allow coach
Sean Payton to turn it over to Chase
Daniel and the backups.
Brees was clicking right from the
start, nding Devery Henderson on
a 37-yard pass over rookie
DeMarcus Van Dyke on the rst
play from scrimmage. Brees target-
ed Van Dyke three more times in
that drive with rookie Mark Ingram
capping it with a 1-yard TD run.
Brees leads Saints to 40-20 win over Raiders

SAN FRANCISCO Even San
Franciscos most experienced offensive
linemen got beat time and again by the
Texans attacking, smothering defense.
First-year 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh
has concerns about his offense as a
whole and the shaky line play two weeks
ahead of the teams Sept. 11 season
opener against the defending NFC West
champion Seattle Seahawks.
San Francisco gave up three sacks in a
30-7 exhibition loss to Houston on
Saturday night, prompting Harbaugh to
say Sunday the Niners got violated at
times. Left tackle Joe Staley struggled
in one-on-one matchups with Connor
Barwin. Antonio Smith made the Niners
pay several times, too.
There was little opportunity for the quar-
terbacks to succeed without reliable pro-
tection. Starter Alex Smith wound up with
a dismal 2.8 QB rating, while backup
rookie Colin Kaepernick nished at 20.8.
Harbaugh observed problems with
technique and fundamentals on the line.
He said Houstons uncomplicated pass
rush should not have wreaked such
havoc for San Francisco.
It wasnt what the defense was pre-
senting us. It should not have been com-
plex for us. Yet we were violated at
times, Harbaugh said. When thats
happening, you have to look at all three
phases of what youre doing what
youre doing schematically, how youre
doing it and whos doing it. Those are
the only three things you can focus on
and thats what well do.
The Niners wrap up the exhibition
season Thursday night at San Diego.
There are some positive signs on the
defensive side of the ball, such as the
emergence of linebacker Ahmad Brooks
as a starter.
Brooks intercepted a pass by Matt
Schaub on the rst play of the game
Saturday and ran it back 13 yards for
San Franciscos lone points.
49ers offensive line needs to make big strides

I
m lucky. All the beings in my home
are pretty good eaters. The kids (and
dad) arent missing any meals. This is
in large part due to my wifes culinary
skills and background. She makes good,
healthy meals and snacks. The kids have
their favorites but she mixes things up, too,
and is an expert when it comes to sneaking
one food into another which disguises it.
Murray doesnt get to sample any of this,
but hes fallen in line as a good eater as
well. Not all owners have it this easy. Many
say their dog will not eat dry food or will
only eat a certain avor of food. The fussi-
ness comes directly from them! People
actually teach their dogs to be picky eaters
by free feeding leaving food out all day.
Very quickly, the dog realizes he can eat at
any time and he has no routine. If this
sounds like your situation, time to go back
to pet culinary school. Put your dogs food
down for 10 minutes at meal time. If he
hasnt nished, take the food away. When
its time for the next meal (most people
feed their dogs twice per day), feed the
amount you would normally feed; dont
top-off what hes left and double it.
Depending on the dog, hell get it after
one meal or possibly a few days. But he
will get on your schedule. How about vari-
ety? We wonder if dogs can truly be happy
eating the same meal day after day. Dogs
dont need variety the same way do. Still, if
you want to give him something different
that is also good for him, try baby carrots
as a snack. Little known fact: Dogs have
only 10 percent of our capacity to taste.
This makes sense considering many
mine included treat cat poop like a deli-
cacy. Whos ready for a big wet dog kiss?

LOS ANGELES The Help remained
Hollywoods top draw with $14.3 million on a
slow late-summer weekend whose business
was even more sluggish as many East Coast
theaters closed to ride out the storm there.
Irene was downgraded from a hurricane to a
tropical storm Sunday, but the weekend
already was a lost cause for many theaters in
its path. Studio executives estimate that about
1,000 theaters shut down for at least part of
the weekend and that business may have been
off 15 to 20 percent because of the storm.
It was a wild weekend, said Dave Hollis,
head of distribution at Disney, which released
DreamWorks Pictures The Help. All
things considered, to kind of come out with
business down only 15 to 20 percent is some-
thing to be pretty thankful for.
The Help has been the No. 1 lm for two-
straight weekends. The acclaimed adaptation
of Kathryn Stocketts novel about black
Southern maids sharing stories about white
employers amid the civil-rights movement
raised its domestic total to $96.6 million and
should cross the $100 million mark Tuesday.
Late August often is a dumping ground for
movies with slim commercial prospects, and
Irene cut even further into receipts for the
weekends three new wide releases.
Zoe Saldanas action tale Colombiana,
released by Sony, opened in second-place
with $10.3 million. Guy Pearce and Katie
Holmes horror story Dont Be Afraid of the
Dark, a FilmDistrict release, debuted in third
with $8.7 million. Paul Rudds comedy Our
Idiot Brother, distributed by the Weinstein
Co., premiered at No. 5 with $6.6 million.
Colombiana features Avatar star
Saldana as an assassin out for revenge against
the drug lords responsible for her parents
deaths. Dont Be Afraid of the Dark, pro-
duced by Guillermo del Toro (Pans
Labyrinth, is a remake of the 1970s TV
movie about a household terrorized by tiny,
savage creatures. Our Idiot Brother stars
Rudd as a happy-go-lucky guy doing time
with his three sisters after serving a short
prison sentence.
Business was strong Friday night for Dont
Be Afraid of the Dark in the New York City
area, but as the storm crept closer Saturday,
theaters either closed or became ghost towns,
said Bob Berney, FilmDistricts head of distri-
bution.
Berney said he stopped by a theater com-
plex in suburban Westchester County
Saturday night and only about 25 people had
turned out for 7:30 p.m. shows.
It was just dead, Berney said. They were
open but no one was there, whereas in
Manhattan, I think all the theaters were
closed.
Studios base their weekend reports on actu-
al revenues for Friday and Saturday and esti-
mates for business on Sunday.
But this weekends numbers were more of a
shot in the dark. Some theaters did not report
their weekend grosses, and it was uncertain
how many cinemas might remain closed
Sunday or how big an audience might turn up
in the wake of the storm.
I think everybody is trying to lean toward
conservative estimates, said Rory Bruer,
head of distribution at Sony, who said
Colombiana managed to beat the studios
projections of an $8 million opening weekend
despite the weather.
Overall business plunged, with domestic
revenues totaling $88 million, down 23 per-
cent from the same weekend last year, when
Takers led with $20.5 million, according to
box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com.
Its not like this was destined to be a
blockbuster weekend, anyway, said
Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
But going to the movies is not a top priority
when youre concerned about severe weath-
er.

WORLD 19
TRIPOLI, Libya Retreating loyalists of
Moammar Gadha killed scores of detainees
and arbitrarily shot civilians over the past
week, as rebel forces extended their control
over the Libyan capital, survivors and a
human rights group said Sunday.
In one case, Gadha ghters opened re
and hurled grenades at more than 120 civil-
ians huddling in a hangar used as a makeshift
lockup near a military base, said Mabrouk
Abdullah, 45, who escaped with a bullet
wound in his side. Some 50 charred corpses
were still scattered across the hangar on
Sunday.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said
the evidence it has collected so far strongly
suggests that Gadha government forces went
on a spate of arbitrary killing as Tripoli was
falling. The justice minister in the rebels
interim government, Mohammed al-Alagi,
said the allegations would be investigated and
leaders of Gadhas military units put on trial.
So far, there have been no specic allega-
tions of atrocities carried out by rebel ghters,
though human rights groups are continuing to
investigate some unsolved cases.
AP reporters have witnessed several
episodes of rebels mistreating detainees or
sub-Saharan Africans suspected of being
hired Gadha guns. Earlier this week, rebels
and their supporters did not help eight wound-
ed men, presumably Gadha ghters, who
were stranded in a bombed out re station in
Tripolis Abu Salim neighborhood, some
pleading for water.
Najib Barakat, the health minister in the
rebels interim government, said Sunday that
he does not yet have a death toll for the week-
long battle for Tripoli. Hundreds have died
and more bodies, some in advanced stages of
decay, are still being retrieved from the
streets.q
Barakat said efforts are being made to iden-
tify bodies. At the least, the corpses of sus-
pected Gadhafi fighters, especially non-
Libyans, are being photographed before bur-
ial, to allow for possible future identication
by relatives.
In ghting late Sunday, pro-Gadha ele-
ments red Grad rockets at rebel forces gath-
ering in the town of Nawfaliyah, not far from
Gadhas home town of Sirte, rebels said.
Rebels gave residents there 10 days to allow
rebel forces in peacefully or face an assault. A
rebel spokesman said many Gadha loyalists
have ed to Sirte and are preparing for a erce
battle.
Rebels rode into Tripoli a week ago, then
fought erce battles with Gadha forces,
especially at the former Libyan leaders Bab
al-Aziziya compound and the Abu Salim
neighborhood, a regime stronghold.
As the rebels consolidated their control and
Gadha ghters ed, reports of atrocities
began emerging over the weekend.
Human Rights Watch said it has evidence
indicating regime troops killed at least 17
detainees in an improvised lockup, a building
of Libyas internal security service, in the
Gargur neighborhood of Tripoli. A doctor
who examined the corpses said about half had
been shot in the back of the head and that
abrasions on ankles and wrists suggested they
had been bound.
The group spoke to Osama Al-Swayi who
had been detained there, along with 24 others.
Survivors: Gadhafi forces killed detainees
MANILA, Philippines Typhoon
Nanmadol began blowing toward Taiwan on
Sunday after leaving at least 10 people dead
and scuttling a visit by a U.S. Navy carrier
group in the Philippines, ofcials said.
Taiwan issued sea and land warnings and
planned to evacuate about 6,000 people in its
eastern and southern regions as it braced for
the typhoon. Troops and rescue equipment
were deployed, Taiwans Defense Ministry
said.
With its enormous cloud band, the typhoon
drenched the northern Philippines with rain
for days before pummeling the area with
erce wind, setting off landslides and oods
and toppling walls that left at least 10 people
dead and six others missing. About 20 were
injured by landslides and toppled trees, said
Benito Ramos, who heads the Ofce of Civil
Defense.
Strong winds knocked down a concrete wall
which hit a small eatery in the capitals subur-
ban Quezon City on Sunday, killing a man
and injuring two others, police said.

For each particular business it may
need a smaller or larger footprint or
want to be closer or further away from
the freeway, Sawicki said. A lot of
companies want to be here. The hard
part is nding out where they would
go.
Another consideration is proximity to
existing locations, such as those at
Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo
like Abercrombie and Fitch, Aldo,
Build-A-Bear and the Great Steak and
Potato Co.
To compile the list of best matches,
consulting group Buxton looked at San
Carlos consumer proles and resident
demographics. The evaluation also took
into consideration what businesses San
Carlos draws from outside the city to it
and what residents are going elsewhere
to nd. The Brittan Corners/San Carlos
Marketplace shopping center on
Industrial Boulevard was used as the pri-
mary site to measure both within a range
of seven minute and 15 minute drives.
Even if the city doesnt have the space
or facilities available now for certain
businesses, it doesnt hurt to begin a
conversation with them and the list helps
identify future opportunities, Sawicki
said.
For example, the city connected with
In-N-Out before it found a home at
Holly Street and Industrial Road.
Peets Coffee also was interested for a
while but nothing t until Blockbuster
left a prime corner at Cherry and Laurel
streets in downtown, Sawicki said.

WISH
replaced the chief of police and the
Legislature created a citizens oversight
board for the BART police among other
changes.
Then on July 3, another ofcer shot
and killed a man who police said lunged
at him with a knife.
Almost instantly, the police were
thrust back into the headlines and
assailed as dangerous and incompetent
by vocal critics and activist groups
organized after Grants death.
No Justice, no peace, protesters
chanted at the rowdy demonstrations.
Disband the BART police.
The departments reputation then suf-
fered even greater harm when BART
ofcials tried to head off a planned
protest over the latest shooting by turn-
ing off wireless access in San Francisco
stations on Aug. 11.
The tactic worked when the protest
failed to materialize, but community
groups, civil libertarians and others
accused BART of unfairly stiing free
speech. BART ofcials said the tactic
was legal.
Even the boards most outspoken crit-
ic of the police, Lynette Sweet, defend-
ed the department as vastly improved
since Grants death and the installation
of a new chief, Kenton Rainey.
Sweet called the cutting of cellphone
service a mistake and said it has resulted
in the continued bashing of the police.
Disbanding our police force is not
the way to go, she said. Our police
force is changing for the better.
Sweet also noted the police are now
accountable to a new, 11-person citi-
zens review board created by the state
Legislature. The review board, which
Sweet sits on, met for the rst time July
12 to discuss the latest shooting death.
Still, she complained that shutting off
the wireless service was another step
backward for BART and the police
department, saying it was like pouring
gas on our own re.
Sweet said rather than trying to stie
protesters, police and BART leaders
should have used the occasion of the
July shooting to discuss how the depart-
ment has changed since Grants death.
We have to combat this public rela-
tions nightmare we created in 2009,
Sweet said.
A lot of folks are condemning BART
for what happened in 2009 and equating
to it what just happened in 2011, Sweet
said. Its not fair and its not right. But
it is what it is.
Rainey insisted his ofcers receive
more training than most California law
enforcement ofcials and that he is try-
ing to reach out to various groups,
including BART critics.
Still, the defense of the police at
Wednesdays special meeting wasnt
enough for BARTs critics new and
old.
The loosely organized hacker group
Anonymous that called for two demon-
strations the last two Mondays over the
cellphone service cut and other groups
said they would continue to demon-
strate.
The time for making token improve-
ments to your embarrassment of a police
force passed decades ago, said
Krystoff, the leader of the group No
Justice, No Bart who says he only uses
one name, to the board.
We dont want your slightly
improved version of a murderous, unac-
countable, corrupt police force. So we
arent asking you to try to x anything,
he said. We simply do not trust you to
run a police force at all.
Anonymous has called for another
protest Monday after the BARTs board
last week refused to even discuss dis-
banding the force.
The BART police were put in place in
1972 in time for BARTs opening after
local law enforcement ofcials said they
foresaw jurisdictional disputes and
problems because the transit lines cut
through four counties and several cities.
Because of its sprawling jurisdiction,
law enforcement experts said the police
will have more difculty than other
agencies as they try to improve its
image.
Local police departments with dam-
aged public images can more rebuild
their reputations through outreach, said
Joseph McNamara, a former San Jose
police chief who is a law enforcement
scholar at Stanford Universitys Hoover
Institution.
While BART ofcials and police are
attempting to do just that reaching
out to the public and trying to establish
roots in the community it serves he
said the department faces immense hur-
dles because of the vast geographic area
it covers.
Theyre covering huge areas with 24
hours of service and thats an incredibly
difcult job of policing, McNamara
said. Thats...far different than the
responsibilities of local police.
BART
The companys marquee products are
its salsas, chips, guacamole and
papusas, all made fresh every day in
Millbrae.
The company has a 12 percent growth
rate, said Chief Financial Ofcer Bob
Nazarenus, and has plans for expansion.
It moved from a 5,000-square-foot
facility in San Francisco 10 years ago to
a larger 20,000-square-foot facility in
Millbrae.
Being in Millbrae allows Casa
Sanchez to get its products to retailers
throughout the Bay Area much quicker
than in San Francisco, Sanchez said.
It takes less than a day to make the
salsas from fresh produce daily, pack
them and ship them to local retailers.
Its products are sold in Safeway,
Whole Foods, Lunardis, Draegers and
many other grocery stores locally. The
company also just signed a deal with
Costco to distribute handmade papusas
made from scratch daily, said Leo Avila,
a salesman who has been with the com-
pany for seven years.
The companys success has attracted
the attention of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-San Mateo, who visited Casa Sanchez
last week.
Congress has a mission to promote
products manufactured in America and
Speier has made it a point to highlight
local companies that manufacture prod-
ucts in her district.
Last week, she spent time with the
companys master salsa maker, Alfonso
Meza, with Casa Sanchez for 19 years;
Juan Castillo, who leads sales;
Rosemarie Ramos, operations manager,
and a host of other employees to hear
what Congress can do to help make
these small manufacturing companies
more successful.
The company has an eye for growth,
but securing the nancing from banks is
its biggest obstacle now, said
Nazarenus.
Banks are willing to give loans to
small companies for big purchases such
as new machinery, Nazarenus said, but
not for operations.
Operations capital is needed, he said,
because Casa Sanchez suffers highs and
lows in sales throughout the year.
Sales pick up during the Super Bowl,
March Madness, Fourth of July, Cinco
de Mayo and other holidays but decline
in during other times of the year, he said.
Getting through the periods of low
sales is the companys biggest obstacle,
he said.
It takes 75 days from the purchase of
a tomato to realize a return, Nazarenus
said.
Casa Sanchez also suffers from rising
food costs, including high price swings
for avocados, and rising fuel costs,
which the company absorbs rather than
passing the cost off to its customers.
But the quickness in which Casa
Sanchez products fly off the shelf
ensures Nazarenus that demand is high
for the companys fresh salsas and chips.
People are becoming more conscious
of where their food is made, Speier
said. People are looking for locally-
produced, organic and sustainable prod-
ucts. I think people are willing to spend
a little more knowing jobs are created
locally.
Speier sampled all of the companys
products during her visit.
I think people will have a greater
appreciation for the product if they can
see how it is made, Speier said.
The company previously bought some
of its fresh produce from markets out-
side of California but has since eliminat-
ed the practice. Now, every tomato,
onion or other produce the company
uses in its products are grown in the
state.
The quality is not as good and the
shelf life decreases when you buy over-
seas, Sanchez said.
A fourth generation of the Sanchez
family now works in the Millbrae facto-
ry over the summers, Sanchez said.
The company will hire young people,
old people or anyone willing to get their
hands dirty, Sanchez said.
This company was built by family
and thats what it is a family busi-
ness, Sanchez said.

MONDAY, AUG. 29, 2011
Although your goals and desires might not be real-
ized in rapid succession in the year ahead, they can
be reached one by one. If youre not too impatient,
substantial improvements can be made that will
better your lifestyle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre planning a
group endeavor, get on the horn and do something
about bringing those you need together. People wont
jump on your bandwagon unless theyre asked.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont be surprised if it
seems like everybodys attention is focused on you.
Because of the genuine concern you show for them,
people cant help being drawn to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- What makes you such
a standout among your peers is your philosophical
outlook, which helps you to not only acquire knowl-
edge but also to easily disseminate it as needed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even some of your
opponents will be in awe of the way you handle chal-
lenging developments that suddenly arise. While oth-
ers are scurrying for cover, youll be settling things.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you tend to
handle things single-handedly, you might establish a
temporary partnership for mutual reasons. Once your
purposes are accomplished, youll go your own way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There wont be
anything selfsh about your current outlook. In fact,
your primary concern will be that others fare as well
as you. Youll even offer whatever help you can.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dan Cupid is likely to
be either looking to revitalize an old romance for you
or casing the scene for a new target at which he can
aim. In either case, things look good.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Getting off to a good
start early in the week will help make the work you
need to accomplish much easier to fnish within the
next few days. Youll be ahead of schedule.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone who can
make your heart beat faster might display much
more than a platonic interest in you. Itll be up to you
to let him or her know it is welcomed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Because youve been
extra nice to a number of pals lately, they might want
to do something special for you, each in his or her
own way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its quite possible that
even those friends who are closest to you arent aware
of your wants and desires. Thus, you cant expect any
help from them unless you verbalize your desires.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some of your greatest
benefts this week are likely to come from people
you dont even know. They wont be purposely doing
things on your behalf; itll just turn out that way.

A notice, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (Public Re-
sources Code 21,000, et sec.) that the following project will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
Project Name: Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance
Applicant: City of Millbrae
Project Location: Entire city limits of the City of Millbrae
Project Description: The proposed ordinance will prohibit the distribution of single-use plastic
and paper carryout bags from supermarkets and grocery stores in the City of Millbrae for point of
sale purchases. The ordinance will allow affected supermarkets and grocery stores to distribute
either a recycled content paper bag or a reusable bag, as defined, for a store charge. Under the
ordinance, recycled content paper bags may be sold to customers for a minimum fee of $0.10
and are defined as not being made from old growth fiber, are made from a minimum of 40% post
consumer recycled content, and are 100% recyclable. Pursuant to the ordinance, reusable bags
may be given away only during time-limited promotional events.
The proposed ordinance encourages voluntary compliance by all other retail establishments that
distribute single-use carryout bags.
The proposed ordinance will not affect restaurants and fast-food establishments. The ordinance
will not apply to protective bags such as meat/produce bags, newspaper bags, pharmaceutical
bags, flat greeting card bags, dry cleaning bags, bakery item bags, and bags that hold live plants
or small hardware items.
Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this notice is to inform you that City Staff has recommended
that a Negative Declaration be approved for this project. Based upon substantial evidence in the
record, staff finds that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environ-
ment. A public hearing for the proposed project is tentatively scheduled for the City Council on
Tuesday, October 11, 2011, in the City Council Chambers, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Millbrae, CA
94030. It should be noted that the adoption of a Negative Declaration does not constitute appro-
val of the project under consideration. The decision to approve or deny the project will be made
separately.
Public Review Period: Begins: September 12, 2011 Ends: October 11, 2011
Public Comments regarding the correctness, completeness, or adequacy of this Negative Decla-
ration are invited and must be received on or before the end of the review period listed above.
Such comments should be based on specific environmental concerns. Written comments should
be addressed to the attention of David Petrovich, City Planner, 621 Magnolia Avenue, Mill-
brae, CA 94030. For additional information regarding this Negative Declaration, please contact
