The new Planned Parenthood
clinic approved for downtown
South San Francisco is not
immune to state environmental
review and a judge should overturn
the City Councils decision,
according to a petition led by a
pro-life group and three residents.
South San Francisco officials
gave the public insufcient and
defective notice of the proposed
clinic at 435 Grand Ave. and the
environmental review was non-
existent, according to the Sept.
27 petition led by Respect Life
South San Francisco, Rosa
Gomez, Vera Priego and Teresita
Valido who are the same pro-life
group and residents who unsuc-
cessfully appealed the projects
approval in August.
The city was really silly in the
way they adopted it, said attorney
Greg Weiler who represents the
petitioners. And the city attorney
gave the council advice that was
clearly wrong, that they dont
even need to analyze things like
the First Amendment issues and
the impact of protesters.

San Mateo Mayor David Lim and
Deputy Mayor Robert Ross rec-
ommend that the full council
oppose Measure P when it votes
whether to endorse the school
bond at its Monday night meet-
i ng.
Lim and Ross, as part of the leg-
islative subcommittee, say the
$130 million bond does not ade-
quately address equity issues for
students in San Mateo and was
formulated with no input from key
stakeholders in the city.
The San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District is
seeking to expand capacity at
Bowditch Middle School in Foster
City to accommodate all of the
citys fifth graders, which will
cost an estimated $62 million, or
about 48 percent of the total bond.
Other facility improvements
include $18 million to upgrade and
reopen Knolls Elementary School
in San Mateo; $18 million to
install solar panels on school dis-
trict property; $30 million to pro-
vide for core standards improve-
ments, including the upgrade of
technology for students through-
out the district; and $2 million for
undetermined needs.
The subcommittees decision
not to support the bond led to an
awkward moment after the meet-
ing between Lim, Ross and district
Superintendent Cynthia Simms
when she hesitated to shake their
hands.
The handshake-gate moment
has since created a bit of a rift
between those in Foster City who
say the Bowditch expansion is a
necessity to help relieve the citys
City Council to decide support for Measure P
San Mateo mayor and deputy mayor recommend novote for school bond

Bike plan approved,
riders want more
Abike plan approved the week of
Oct. 4, 2008 by the Caltrain Board of
Directors was called a step in the
right direction but cyclists wanted the
agency to increase capacity to keep
them from being turned away from
trains.
Peninsula bicyclists
wanted more cars added
to trains to accommo-
date their numbers, but
Caltrain ofcials said
they could not afford to add the extra
space. The plan improves and adds
bike lockers to popular train sta-
tions, but did not go far enough in
addressing capacity problems, bicy-
clists argue.
Caltrain said it would continue to
study capacity issues related to bikes.
Bicyclists argued Caltrain should
remove seats from additional cars and
replace them with bike racks.
Caltrain did not want to do that until
it was certain it would not force other
customers from the train.
Raids net $2.7M in marijuana
More than $2.7 million worth of
marijuana was found in nine northern
San Mateo County homes during a
raid the week of Oct. 4, 2008 that
involved more than 100 local, state
and federal agents, according to the
San Mateo County Narcotics Task
Force.
Law enforcement agents served
search warrants on the nine homes
early Tuesday of that week. They
arrested seven people in homes locat-
ed in San Bruno on the 3500 block of
Bering Drive, 1900 block of
Monterey Drive and the 1400 block
Crestwood Drive; in South San
Francisco on the 100
block of Chestnut
Avenue and the 900
block of Commercial
Street; in Daly City on
the 800 block of Skyline
Drive and the 300 block of Morton
Drive; in Pacica on the 200 block of
Edgewood Drive and in the 800 block
of Stoneyford Road in Broadmoor.
The investigation began in January
2008 when a San Bruno patrol ofcer
tipped off the San Mateo County
Narcotics Task Force. More than
3,500 marijuana plants in various
stages of growth were seized.
County approves
$1.79 billion budget
With little fanfare, the Board of
Supervisors the week of Oct. 4, 2008
passed a $1.79 billion budget with an
extra $26.6 million across all funds
and two positions more than the ten-
tative bottom line it looked at in June
of that year.
The board did its nancial heavy
lifting during the week of preliminary
budget hearings in the beginning of
summer, leaving only a few tweaks
and nal adoption for that weeks
meeting.
Although the budget took into
account some of the changes created
by the recently-adopted state budget,
there is approximately $10 million
in cuts that were to be addressed at the
mid-year review, said County
Manager John Maltbie.
The approved budget added in posi-
tions at the county library,
waste management and the
San Mateo Medical Center
and lost two positions in
the Human Services
Agency.
Charter school petition denied
Hopes of opening a technology-
based school serving 800 students
were dashed the week of Oct. 4, 2008
when the San Mateo Union High
School District voted against the
charter proposal.
Insufcient information about edu-
cational programs, nances and a
location for the charter school
known as Magnolia topped
Superintendent David Millers con-
cerns in a recommendation to deny
the charter. In the end, the board
agreed voting 4-1 against the ve-
year charter petition, with board
President Peter Hanley as the sole dis-
senting vote.

nally printed ve years ago this week. It

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A23-year-old woman who spent sev-
eral months in a state mental hospital
after her arrest for stabbing a taxi driv-
er transporting her back home to
Pacica from a Daly City shopping
center pleaded no contest to a variety
of felonies yesterday including
attempted murder.
But based on two doctors conclu-
sions that Amanda Jenille Aldeguer
was insane at the time, Judge Barbara
Mallach ordered her committed to a
state mental hospital rather than sen-
tenced and incarcerated.
Aldeguer had entered the twin pleas
of not guilty and not guilty by reason
of insanity to the charges which also
included carjacking and the use of a
deadly weapon. Her plea change yes-
terday vacated her upcoming Oct. 15
jury trial and leaves her to spend at
least 180 days in treatment. After that
point, if ever found
sane, Aldeguer will
be freed from the
hospital without
restriction.
That is what the
law requires, said
District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
When somebody
could be out in a
fairly quick time
there could be the feeling the system
doesnt work but the law does allow
that in this country.
Pacica police arrested Aldeguer for
the March 16, 2012 stabbing after her
mother called 911 for medical help
after seeing an injury on her hand.
Authorities connected it to an earlier
stabbing and carjacking report in the
area of West Manor Drive and
Esplanade Avenue. At that call, they
found a bleeding man, a driver for Serra
Yellow Cab, who said a woman he
picked up at Serramonte Center pulled
out a knife during the trip to Pacica
and stabbed him in the neck. As he
resisted, she continued to stab, he
said. After the driver stopped the car
and ed, the woman later identied as
Aldeguer got into the front seat and
drove away. Police found the car near a
Pacica park with a knife inside. The
cars video camera recorded the attack,
according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Aldeguer was apprehended in South
San Francisco.
Before Aldeguer could have a prelim-
inary hearing, her attorney expressed
doubts about her competence for trial
and she was ultimately committed to
Napa State Hospital. She returned to
San Mateo County after hospital staff
concluded she had been restored to
competence and she entered the twin
pleas of not guilty and not guilty by
reason of insanity.
She remains in custody in lieu of
$500,000 pending a Nov. 14 place-
ment hearing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES California on Thursday
joined the growing list of states that allow
immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to
obtain drivers licenses a measure sup-
ported not only by Latino activists but by
police chiefs and insurance authorities.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed the
bill in front of a cheering crowd of immi-
grants and their supporters, predicting other
parts of the country will follow the example
set by the nations most populous state.
The licenses, which are expected to
become available no later than January
2015, will carry a special designation on
the front and a notice stating that the docu-
ment is not ofcial federal identication and
cannot be used to prove eligibility for
employment or public benet s.
This is only the rst step, Brown said
outside City Hall in Los Angeles. When a
million people without their documents
drive legally and with respect in the state of
California, the rest of this country will have
to stand up and take notice. No longer are
undocumented people in the shadows.
Ten other states have enacted measures to
give drivers licenses to immigrants in the
country illegally, many of them in the past
year, according to the National Immigration
Law Center.
Some of those states issue only one kind
of license. But laws in many states, includ-
ing Oregon and Colorado, create distinc-
tions between the license given to immi-
grants and the one issued to other drivers.
Some immigrant advocates initially
raised concerns that a different license in
California would contribute to racial prol-
ing. The new law bans discrimination based
on the license and states that the license
cannot be used as a basis for arresting some-
one for being in the U.S. illegally.
Small plane lands safely
on San Jose expressway
SAN JOSE Asmall plane made an emer-
gency landing Thursday on a busy street in
the heart of Silicon Valley, surprising morn-
ing commuters but touching down and stop-
ping without injuring anyone.
The Bellanca Citabria took off from a San
Jose airport just before 8 a.m., but the pilot
soon notied air trafc controllers that he
needed to go back, Federal Aviation
Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown
said. Instead, he ended up needing to use the
eight-lane Capitol Expressway as a runway
and successfully navigated a landing
through power lines and cars before pulling
over into a right-hand turn lane, San Jose
police Sgt. Heather Randol said.
State exchange website

Slight progress made
in long BART labor dispute
OAKLAND With about a week to go
before a possible second strike, Bay Area
Rapid Transit officials and labor leaders
say they made slight progress in negotia-
tions but remain far apart on wages.
The parties said Thursday that they
reached a deal on pension contributions,
but are still at odds over compensation,
health care and safety.
The unions want nearly a 12 percent
raise over three years while BART is still
proposing a 10 percent increase over four
years.
If no new contract is reached, the unions
could strike again as early as Oct. 11 when
a 60-day cooling-off period ordered by
Gov. Jerry Brown expires.
BART workers walked off the job for
four and a half days in early July, leading
to major traffic jams throughout the Bay
Area.

WASHINGTON Awoman with
a 1-year-old girl led Secret Service
and police on a harrowing car
chase from the White House past
the Capitol Thursday, attempting
to penetrate the security barriers at
both national landmarks before
she was shot to death, police said.
The child was unhurt.
Im pretty condent this was
not an accident, said
Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy
Lanier. Still, Capitol Police said
there appeared to be no terrorist
link. The woman apparently was
unarmed.
Tourists, congressional staff and
even some senators watched as a
caravan of law enforcement vehi-
cles chased a black Inniti with
Connecticut license plates down
Constitution Avenue outside the
Capitol. House and Senate law-
makers, inside debating how to
end a government shutdown,
briey shuttered their chambers as
Capitol Police shut down the
building.
The womans car at one point
had been surrounded by police cars
and she managed to escape,
careening around a trafc circle and
past the north side of the Capitol.
Video shot by a TV camerman
showed police pointing rearms at
her car before she rammed a Secret
Service vehicle and continued
driving. Lanier said police shot
and killed her a block northeast of
the historic building.
One Secret Service member and a
23-year veteran of the Capitol
Police were injured.

WASHINGTON Three days
into a government shutdown,
President Barack Obama pointedly
blamed House Speaker John
Boehner on Thursday for keeping
federal agencies closed, while the
bitter budget dispute moved closer
to a more critical showdown over
the nations line of credit. The
president canceled a trip to Asia to
remain in the capital as the
Treasury warned of calamitous
results if Congress fails to raise
the debt limit.
Answering Obama, Boehner
complained that the president was
steamrolling ahead with the
implementation of the nations
new health care law. As the gov-
ernment operated sporadically, the
stock market sank to its lowest
level in nearly a month.
The shutdown
was clearly
leaving its
mark. The
N a t i o n a l
Transport at i on
Safety Board
wasnt sending
investigators to
Tennessee to
probe a deadly
church bus crash that killed eight
people and sent 14 others to the
hospital. The Labor Department
said it wouldnt release the highly
anticipated September jobs report
on Friday because the government
remains shuttered.
Late Thursday, the White House
announced that Obama was aban-
doning an already abbreviated trip
to Indonesia and Brunei next week
in the face of the shutdown. White
House spokesman Jay Carney said
Secretary of State John Kerry
would travel
instead.
Earlier, out-
side the
Capitol, shots
rang out at
mi daf t er noon
bringing an
already tense
Congress under
lockdown, a
nerve-wracking moment in a city
still recovering from a Sept. 16
mass shooting at the Navy Yard.
Authorities and witnesses said a
woman tried to ram her car through
a White House barricade then led
police on a chase that ended in
gunre and her death outside the
Capitol more than 1 mile away.
Despite the heated political
rhetoric, some signs of a possible
way out of the shutdown emerged.
But the state of play remained in
ux.
Budget, debt unresolved
on shutdowns third day

WASHINGTON The latest vic-
tims of the governments partial
shutdown: policy wonks, politi-
cians and TVtalking heads who are
losing their monthly opportunity
to dissect the jobs report issued by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The ritual unfolds every month:
The jobs report comes out, and
Wall Street panics or exults.
Political advocates spin. And eco-
nomic analysts crowd cable-TV t o
offer us their insights.
It happens the rst Friday of the
month at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.
Except this Friday.
The governments partial shut-
down means the September jobs
report is being postponed. The
workers who produce it arent
deemed essential, which is why
theyre among the 800,000 federal
employees being furloughed.
They arent doctors treating
wounded soldiers at military hos-
pitals or air traffic controllers
ensuring that planes take off and
land safely. Theyre statisticians.
Yet for a subculture of Americans
whose professional lives are tied
to the monthly jobs report, its
absence may be disorienting.
Economists and journalists
will have some withdrawal pains,
suggests Mark Zandi, chief econo-
mist at Moodys Analytics and a
xture on cable-TV gabfests after
the jobs reports are released.
With no jobs report, whats an economist to do?

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Losing the citys redevelopment agency,
recent controversies in its Community
Development Department and whether the
city should rethink its approach to building
height limits are some of the concerns the
Daily Journal asked ve candidates for San
Mateo City Council to discuss.
The candidates are Public Works
Commissioner Joe Goethals, Planning
Commissioner Josh Hugg, incumbent
Mayor David Lim, incumbent Deputy
Mayor Robert Ross and marketing profes-
sional Karen Schmidt.
Lim and Ross are seeking second terms on
the council and the others are running for
elected office for the first time. Current
Councilman Brandt Grotte opted not to run
for re-election.
The candidates were given the same ques-
tions to answer in 50 words or fewer to help
the Daily Journal determine endorsements.
Answers are arranged alphabetically by the
candidates last name.
Would you be in favor of changi ng
t he ci t ys hei ght l i mi ts outl i ned i n
measures H and P?
Joe Goethal s: I support the intent of
measures H and P to preserve the character
of the city. I am also interested to see
whether the exibility of measures H and P
encourages development downtown. Our
downtown could accommodate a range of
heights with a mix of potential uses includ-
ing residential, ofce and retail spaces.
Josh Hugg: We need a community con-
versation about height limitations in our
citys growth areas. Limitations appropri-
ate 20 years ago when they were rst imple-
mented now impact our ability to accommo-
date growing businesses, workforce, fami-
lies and aging residents. This problem can
only be addressed by enhancing growth in
our downtown, along El Camino Real and in
the Rail Corridor area.
David Lim: No. Measures H and P were
enacted by direct vote of San Mateo resi-
dents and in my four years on the council
the community has consistently reiterated
their desire to maintain the citys height
limitation on development as a means to
preserving our neighborhoods and quality
of life.
Robert Ros s : Yes and the statute
requires a vote to change. I support the
statute but San Mateo would benet from
limited height limit changes. We must ask,
what it will take for San Mateo to be pro-
ductive, competitive and offer a high quali-
ty of life. We must make futuristic forecasts
of San Mateos needs and consider benet s
of smart growth.
Karen Schmidt: I am opposed to chang-
ing the height limit restrictions outlined in
measures H and P. Of course, with limited
land and housing needs, the tendency is to
want to grow upwards; however, I doubt the
powerful neighborhood home associations
would agree to it, and ours is a medium to
small business/retail mix, not a high-pow-
ered corporate climate.
Wi t h t he ci t ys redevel opment
agency bei ng di ssol ved, what i s best
way to bring more affordable hous-
ing to San Mateo or should that be a
priority at all?
Joe Goethal s: Developing an invento-
ry of affordable housing is essential to
maintaining a diverse and inclusive commu-
nity and should be a focus of the council.
The council can maintain a robust inclu-
sionary requirement, provide density
bonuses as an incentive for affordable hous-
ing development, and take advantage of
new tools such as possible bond funding for
affordable housing for veterans and match-
ing funds from the county.
Josh Hugg: Housing affordability
affects everyone here, but lower income res-
idents and workers most of all. Continuing
to enforce our citys inclusionary housing
ordinance is essential as is nding new
sources of funding for affordable housing.
Impact fees have been shown to be an effec-
tive source of funding in other cities around
the county and should be considered.
David Lim: Affordable housing must
continue to be a priority to allow seniors,
young families and working professionals
such as teachers and police to continue to
live in our community. Partnerships with
private developers, state and federal grants
and maintaining below-market rate require-
ments will remain tools to building more
affordable housing.
Robert Ross: Yes, affordable housing is
a priority. I will continue to work with busi-
ness, developers, nonprots, the communi-
ty and other governmental entities to meet
San Mateos housing needs. Our properties
can have great ongoing economic value and
we should explore redirecting their uses to
achieve maximum benet s.
Karen Schmidt: More affordable hous-
ing is a strategic goal of our local govern-
ment and a concern with our residents; how-
ever, they dont seem to think that pubic
employees should be favored over the gen-
eral public when it comes to being able to
afford to live in San Mateo as I have found
while canvassing for votes.
With the lack of leadership cur-
rent l y i n t he Communi t y
Development Department and sever-
al hiccups it has had in recent
years, what is best way to rest ore the
publ i cs trust in this area?
Joe Goethal s: The public trust will
have to be rebuilt over time with trans-
parency and consistent performance. The
process matters. Public comment, diligent
research and strong decision-making based
on community input will restore the con-
dence that San Mateo has traditionally had
in its public ofcials and city staff.
San Mateo candidates discuss issues
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE
Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

BEIRUT International inspectors racing
to eliminate Syrias chemical weapons stock-
pile said Thursday they have made encourag-
ing initial progress in their mission, and
they hope to start onsite inspections and to
begin disabling equipment within a week.
An advance team of disarmament experts
arrived in Syria on Tuesday to begin laying
the foundations for a broader operation
charged with dismantling and ultimately
destroying President Bashar Assads chemical
program over the next nine months. The rst
step in the undertaking endorsed by a
United Nations Security Council resolution
last week is to scrap Syrias capacity to
manufacture chemical weapons by Nov. 1.
The team reported its progress in a state-
ment issued after the rst day of meetings
with Syrian authorities. Documents handed
over by the Syrian government look prom-
ising, the statement said. But more analysis,
particularly of technical diagrams, was
planned, and more questions remain to be
answered.
The onsite inspections and the disabling of
equipment depend on the work of technical
groups established together with Syrian
experts. Those groups, the statement said, are
working to iron out the details in three areas
crucial to the mission: verifying the initial
information Syria provided on its chemical
program, ensuring the safety of the inspec-
tors and nalizing practical arrangements for
implementing the plan.
Early Thursday, a convoy of three U.N.
vehicles left a hotel in central Damascus with
nine experts from the Netherlands-based
chemical weapons watchdog, but it was not
clear where they were heading. For now, the
team consists of an advance group of 19
experts from the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and 14
U.N. staff members. A second group of
inspectors is to join them within a week to
raise the total number to nearly 100.
Their mission stems from a deadly Aug. 21
attack on opposition-held suburbs of
Damascus in which the U.N. has determined
the nerve agent sarin was used. The U.S. and
its allies accuse the Syrian government of
being responsible for the attack, while
Damascus blames the rebels.
The Obama administration threatened to
launch punitive missile strikes against Syria,
prompting frantic diplomatic efforts to fore-
stall an attack. Those efforts concluded with
last weeks unanimous U.N. Security Council
resolution endorsing the elimination of
Syrias chemical weapons.

Ship capsizes off Italy;
114 African migrants die
ROME The rickety shing boat was the
third of the night to head toward the tiny
Italian island of Lampedusa, overloaded
with African migrants seeking a better life
in Europe. Most never reached shore.
After the boat started taking on water,
someone on board set a re to get the atten-
tion of passing ships. The ames spread and
panicked passengers surged to one side to
avoid the re. The vessel capsized, and hun-
dreds of men, women and children who did-
nt know how to swim were ung into the
Mediterranean Sea.
At least 114 people died and some 200
were still unaccounted for late Thursday,
Italian ofcials said.
We need only caskets, certainly not
ambulances, said Pietro Bartolo, chief of
Lampedusa health services.
Montana Democrats
get U.S. Senate candidate
HELENA, Mont. Montana Lt. Gov.
John Walsh said Thursday that his limited
political experience will aid his run for the

Democrats hope for retaining a seat they
have held for decades.
Walsh told supporters Thursday morning
that he will run for the ofce that has been
the focus of a great deal of speculation since
Sen. Max Baucus announced this year that
he will retire at the end of 2014.
The 52-year-old former Montana National
Guard commander enters the race with just
one election under his belt. He won a tight
race last year as Gov. Steve Bullocks run-
ning mate.

Her answers I thought were pretty awe-
some about how she wants to spread the
word of poetry, Slocum said.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors is
expected to formally appoint Goodwin who
will then read a piece.
Slocum said all 15 contenders were highly
qualied but, after several committee meet-
ings, the consensus was for Goodwin.
Goodwin has a masters of ne arts degree
from the University of British Columbia
and her lengthy list of honors includes three
years as a Wallace Stegner Fellow in poetry
at Stanford University. She currently teach-
es creative nonfiction at the California
College of the Arts in Oakland, poetry and
creative writing to adults through UC
Berkeley Extension and precollege summer
programs to teenagers.
Her public reading resume is even longer,
including appearances most recently at the
Napa Valley Writers Conference in August.
The Alaska-born Goodwin has a range of
published poems and Trampoline, a col-
lection of poems.
Goodwin said she looks forward to meet-
ing the countys residents and exploring the
role of poetry in their lives.
Poetry is rhythm, poetry is music, poet-
ry has many histories and roots and can act
as a healer in our turbulent times, she said
in a prepared statement.
Goodwins approach is what helped her
rise to the top of applicants, Slocum said.
She had ideas and was poised in public
and obviously could represent the county
well, Slocum said.
Groom said the county is very lucky to
have Goodwin.
She is a lovely, lovely person and a very
talented poet, Groom said.
The poet laureate is a two-year position
beginning in January. The posts duties
include representing San Mateo County
through poetry-related activities, present-
ing works during at least four county-spon-
sored events yearly, writing a commemora-
tive poem about the county and opening the
Board of Supervisors meetings with a poem
every quarter.
Slocum said the advisory committee that
chose Goodwin has also decided to continue
in supporting Goodwin launch her ideas,
such as having a lot of different residents
create a county poem by each contributing a
line.
The committee includes California Poet
Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera; Jackie Berger,
director of the master of arts in English pro-
gram at Notre Dame de Namur University;
Kalamu Chach, East Palo Alto poet laure-
ate; Maryann Moise Derwin, chair of the
San Mateo County Library JPA governing
board and Portola Valley councilwoman;
Anne-Marie Despain, director of library
services for San Mateo County Library;
Julie Fellers, president, Peninsula Arts
Council; Mary Gutierrez, dean of language
arts at Skyline College; Clark Kepler, local
business advocate; Bardi Rosman Koodrin,
literary director of the San Mateo County
Fair; Donald Mulliken, San Mateo County
arts commissioner; Christopher Wachlin,
president of the California Writers Club,
San Francisco-Peninsula Branch; and
Bonny Zanardi, arts columnist for the San
Jose Mercury News.
The state of California and a number of its
counties and cities have poet laureate posi-
tions. The Bay Area alone has poet laureates
in the counties of San Francisco, Marin,
Napa, Sonoma, Alameda and Santa Clara.

The art of compromise
Editor,
When I told my 7-year-old grand-
daughter that Yosemite was closed,
she asked me why. We have been
planning a trip for a long time and
will now have to cancel. I explained
that the government was not able to
compromise on how to pay our bills.
When my granddaughter asked if that
meant they could not get along I
smiled and said, Yes, essentially that
is what it means. She also asked me,
Arent they paid to help us, and my
response was the same.
When Sen. Robert Byrd of West
Virginia was alive, he mentioned how
people in government have forgotten
how to compromise. This still seems
to be the case.

San Carlos
Yes on Measure P
Editor,
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, voters residing
in the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District will have
the opportunity to approve Measure P
to make critical investments in local
school facilities.
As current and former elected
trustees of the San Mateo Union High
School District, which serves six
cities, we understand the challenge
that the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District faces to
ensure educational equity for all of its
students. We know investments in
school facilities must be based on
need, not on the location of the spe-
cic project. While each decision
may affect one school or community
more than another, the overall impact
of facilities improvements touches
every single student and over time
ensures that all students have the
opportunity to learn in modern class-
rooms.
Measure P will generate $130 mil-
lion that will be spent on a range of
capital improvements, including
upgrades to classrooms, libraries and
instructional technology.
Relieving overcrowded schools is
the primary focus of Measure P. The
districts enrollment has increased on
average by 217 students per year for
the last seven years and is continuing
to climb. As a result, many of the dis-
tricts 20 school facilities are over-
crowded. Measure P funds will enable

sion of Bowditch Middle School and
the modernizing and reopening of the

Letters to the editor
T
he city of San Mateo is fortu-
nate to have had both David
Lim and Robert Ross on the
council for the past four years. Both
have proven to be incredibly diligent
public servants in their council capac-
i t y.
Lim has been the epitome of
responsible and responsive without
any fear of asking questions and mak-
ing waves. If there is a solution pos-
sible, Lim will seek to nd it. During
the controversy over the new 7-
Eleven on San Mateo Drive, Lim was
indefatigable in his quest to nd a
solution for neighbors distraught by
the planning process and took it a
step further in determining that the
citys Community Development
Department may have needed some
additional attention. When it came to
considering a ban on leaf blowers,
Lim went through the process in
determining whether such a move was
workable and backed off when he
decided it was not. Councils often
develop leaders but usually such a
leader takes time to develop. Lim hit
the ground running and has been hit-
ting his stride ever since he rst took
ofce.
Ross has been a great complement
to Lim in that both are not afraid to
ask tough questions. Ross is also
incredibly accessible and responsive
to needs both great and small. He is a
font of ideas and isnt afraid of shar-
ing them and brainstorming. And his
enthusiasm for the city is catchy.
Both started on the council when
nances were shaken by the recession
and have helped oversee large-scale
cuts to ensure the city met its bottom
line. That was done with aplomb and,
as the city moves out of its economic
hard times, both have the composure
to ensure the city remains scally
conservative and solvent. Both have
provided steady and consistent leader-
ship on the council.
With Councilman Brandt Grotte
opting not to run for re-election,
there is an opportunity to elect a new
face to the council. The best candidate
is Joshua Hugg, who has proven him-
self knowledgeable on city and
regional issues. Aproponent of
affordable housing, Hugg has
immersed himself in the Housing
Leadership Council and brings a
holistic point of view to the Planning
Commission, where he now serves.
He has a rm grasp on the citys budg-
et and its challenges and is creative in
his thinking about how the city can
squeeze additional savings. As a mem-
ber of the Home Association of North
Central San Mateo, he has an under-
standing of neighborhood issues and
how the city can partner in solving
them.
Candidates Joe Goethels and Karen
Schmidt also bring much to the table.
Goethels recently started serving on
the Peninsula Health Care District
board and will continue to contribute
there.
For this election, Lim and Roberts
deserve to be re-elected and Hugg
deserves to join them.

Growing public
art in San Mateo
By Lorna Watt
S
an Mateo residents and businesses are raving
about the new public art popping up all over
downtown. Local artists like me are delighted
and inspired by this support. The new art downtown is
the tip of the iceberg of an innovative local art culture.
Youre seeing it now thanks to a new
initiative called The Downtown Art
Project, which aims to make our local
art scene public. The Downtown San
Mateo Association is working with
artists, residents and businesses to
create art that is not just free and visi-
ble, but reflects and builds a communi-
t y. So far, its coming on like gang-
busters.
Support for local artists and leaders is pouring in. My
fiber art aims to delight and inspire, and its payment in
kind when I hear from people like Susan Gardner, whose
letter in the Sept. 27 Daily Journal encouraged people
to visit the new squid tree yarnbomb at B Street and
Tilton Avenue. Dan Gribben can hardly keep his brush
moving on his sister city mural for the curious who stop
to chat. Thomas Carrieri, who worked on the Meter
Garden, told me he feels more a part of his community
than ever before. Local art works shown at The Shops
First Friday art night are selling. And Mayor David Lim
dropped $100 in quarters into the new Meter Garden
fundraising sculpture.
San Mateo is rich in passionate venture capital and
engineering pioneers, and artists and community leaders
are innovating too. Murals by popular local artists and
new media like yarnbombing are creating a buzz on the
Bay Area art scene that San Mateo is one to watch.
Many artists making public art downtown emerge at The
Shop at Flywheel Press, a local art and design center
that started up First Friday, a free monthly show of
exclusively local art. I hope this creative space will lead
the way in growing First Fridays into a downtown-wide
monthly event.
Downtown is brimming with innovative art venues
and programs. Volunteers at cleanups can sew yarn-
bombs and paint murals alongside artists. Kaffeehaus
hosts a City Arts poetry reading with San Mateo
Countys new poet laureate this month. Scribble Me
Happy, which donated studio space for public art, has a
whole menu of ways to get your hands dirty. The
Department of Public Works will soon unveil a graffiti
abatement smartphone app called My San Mateo in
which residents snap a geotagged photo of graffiti,
which then gets scoured in 24 hours. Agrowing number
of businesses host public art, reporting that public art
deters vandalism, instills pride and increases foot traf-
fic.
Making this San Mateo art scene public is the hard
work of the Downtown San Mateo Associations public
art initiative: The Downtown Art Project. The DSMA
retained me as its first artist in residence to yarnbomb
with my collaborator, Jill Watt, and to organize other
public art projects. The Downtown Art Project just
unveiled the Meter Garden on Third Avenue near Draper
University, decorated by local artists. The public is
encouraged to feed the meters, so we may raise funds for
our next large public art installation: to paint all the
utility boxes throughout downtown.
I encourage everyone to support San Mateos art
scene. If youve seen the art downtown, youre already
involved. Try hanging out at First Friday, stop in at
businesses that display local art, host public art at your
business, put a quarter in the Meter Garden, volunteer at
a local cleanup, donate on the DSMA website or just
spread the word by sharing pictures on social media. Its
thrilling to discover how a little vision and passion at
the grassroots level can grow a whole community.
Lorna Watt is the artist in residence for the Downtown San
Mateo Association, owner of Knits for Life and a resident
of San Mateo.

Big movers

NEWYORK Investors sold stocks
across the board Thursday as a U.S.
government shutdown dragged into its
third day and the nation inched closer
to a critical deadline to raise its bor-
rowing limit.
Stocks opened lower and fell steadi-
ly throughout the morning.The Dow
Jones industrial average slumped near-
ly 200 points, but later pulled back
from its slide.
Investors fretted that Republicans
and Democrats were no closer to end-
ing the budget impasse. In a speech,
President Barack Obama said there was
only one way out of the shutdown:
Congress has to pass a budget that
funds our government with no partisan
strings attached.
Investors also got some disappoint-
ing economic news.
The Institute of Supply Management
said that sales fell sharply, new orders
dipped and hiring weakened at U.S.
service companies. The report covers
industries including retail, construc-
tion, health care and nancial servic-
es.
The stock market losses on Thursday
marked an acceleration of gradual
declines from the last few weeks.
Stocks have fallen nine of the last 11
days as investors grow nervous about
the political crisis in Washington and
the hit to the economy if it continues.
Republicans in the House of
Representatives, pushed by a core of
tea party conservatives, are insisting
that Obama accept changes to the
health care law he pushed through
three years ago as part of a budget bill.
Obama refuses to consider any deal
linking the health care law to routine
legislation needed to extend govern-
ment funding.
The U.S. Treasury Department said
Thursday that the economy could
plunge into a downturn even worse
than the Great Recession if Congress
failed to raise the debt ceiling and the
country defaulted on its debt obliga-
tions.
The U.S. missing a debt payment
could cause credit markets to freeze,
the value of the dollar to plummet and
U.S. interest rates to skyrocket,
according to the Treasury report.
The head of the International
Monetary Fund called it mission-crit-
ical that the ght over the debt ceil-
ing be resolved as soon as possible.
IMF Managing Director Christine
Lagarde said if Congress fails to raise
the debt ceiling, the consequences
could be severe not just for the U.S. but
for the global economy as well.
A default would be so catastrophic
and such a self-inicted wound that you
cant imagine we would let it happen,
said Maury Fertig, chief investment
ofcer of Relative Value Partners. But
the fact is that every day we get closer
to it the possibility increases, even
though its remote.
The Dow fell 136.66 points, or 0.9
percent, to close 14,996.48, its
biggest decline since Sept. 20. It was
down as much as 186 earlier.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 15.21 points, or 0.9 percent,
to 1,678.66. The Nasdaq composite
fell 40.68 points, or 1.1 percent, to
3,774.34.
Stocks pulled back from their some
of their losses in afternoon trading
after the New York Times reported that
House Speaker John Boehner told his
party that he wouldnt let the nation
default. The newspaper attributed the
news to an unnamed House
Republican.
Lawmakers must periodically raise
the nations borrowing limit to keep
U.S. funds owing, but the once-rou-
tine matter has become a bargaining
chip in battles over the federal budget
decit.
Despite the slump during the last two
weeks, stocks are still close to the
record levels they reached last month.
The S&P 500 is up 17 percent so far
this year, having climbed as much as
21 percent by Sept. 18.
A four-year bull-market for stocks
has been sustained by a recovery in the
housing market, improving hiring and
resilient corporate earnings.
Unprecedented economic stimulus
from the Federal Reserve has also sup-
ported the market.
Some analysts said that investors
should take advantage of any decline
further price declines and add to their
holdings of stocks.
The probability of the debt ceiling
not being raised and the probability of
the U.S. defaulting are about as close
to zero as you can possibly get, said
Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist
at Wells Fargo Advisors. I hope the
market takes the bait and we get more
of a sell-off here, its just an opportu-
nity.
The dollar dropped against the euro
and the Japanese yen, continuing a
recent slide. The dollar index, which
measures the U.S. currency against a
group of other major currencies, has
declined for ve days.
The Labor Department said Thursday
it will not release the highly anticipat-
ed September jobs report on Friday
because the government remains part-
ly shut down.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.61 percent from 2.62 percent
Wednesday.
Stocks fall on third day of shutdown
The probability of the debt ceiling not being raised and the
probability of the U.S. defaulting are about as close to zero
as you can possibly get. ... I hope the market takes the bait
and we get more of a sell-off here, its just an opportunity.

When debris on a Seattle-area free-
way pierced the battery of a
$70, 000-pl us Tesla Model S and
touched off a raging fire, it raised
new safety concerns for electric-
vehicle owners.
It also caused rare jitters among
investors, who of late have viewed
Tesla as nearly invincible.
Electric vehicles have scored well
in government tests of front and side
crashes the Model S earned the
highest score possible. But
Tuesdays incident demonstrates that
real-world driving could reveal some
vulnerabilities that dont show up in
laboratory testing.
The safety challenges related to
electric cars are still in the early
stages of being tested and
addressed, said Karl Brauer, senior
analyst at Kelley Blue Book.
Tesla said the Seattle-area driver
hit a large metal object in the road,
which damaged a battery cell and
caused a fire. The company said the
car acted as designed by containing
the blaze in the front of the car.
Still, experts said Thursday that
while incidents like this will happen
again, they are rare. And electric cars
still are safer than those with gaso-
line engines that haul around a tank
full of flammable petroleum. The
Tesla fire also shows that automak-
ers need to bolster the shields around
batteries, and that firefighters need
more training to deal with electric
car blazes.
Of the estimated 194,000 vehicle
fires in the U.S. each year, the vast
majority are in cars and trucks with
gasoline or diesel engines. Electric
vehicles make up less than 1 percent
of the cars sold in the U.S.
Tesla says this is the only fire ever
to happen in one of its batteries.
Although a Chevrolet Volt made by
General Motors caught fire two years
ago after a government crash test,
neither GM nor Nissan, which make
the top-selling electric cars in the
nation, know of any real-world
blazes in their vehicles.

NEW YORK Twitter has unsealed
the documents for its planned initial
public offering of stock and says it
hopes to raise up to $1 billion in one of
the years most eagerly awaited stock
market debuts.
The documents revealed for the rst
time how much money the social net-
working company makes. Founded in
2006, Twitter has never turned a prot
and has an uninterrupted history of loss-
es totaling $419 million since its incep-
tion. But its revenue is growing.
Twitter disclosed three weeks ago that
it led condential papers to start the
IPO process. The company was taking
advantage of federal legislation passed
last year that allows companies with
less than $1 billion in revenue in its pre-
vious scal year to avoid submitting
public IPO documents.
On Thursday, Twitter Inc. unsealed the
papers with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, giving potential
investors and its users a look inside its
business. Twitter was required to unseal
its documents at least three weeks before
it starts holding events around the coun-

Adobe says attack exposed

Adobe Systems Inc. said a cyberat-
tack on its systems has exposed credit-
card information of 2.9 million cus-
tomers.
The maker of Photoshop and other
software said Thursday that the attack-
er accessed Adobe customer IDs and
passwords on its systems. Through
that, they were able to remove cus-
tomer names, encrypted credit and
debit card numbers, expiration dates
and other information related to orders
from customers worldwide. The com-
pany does not believe attackers
removed credit and debit card numbers
that werent encrypted.

A final tune up
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There are teams who will take this
week to rest, heal and regroup.
But Woodside High School and
Sacred Heart Prep arent two of those
teams.
With the 2013 Peninsula Athletic
League season two weeks away, the
schedule has turned to a week when
many teams are choosing to enjoy a
bye before diving head rst into the
heart of the year.
But SHP and Woodside chose an
alternative route in taking to the foot-
ball eld this Friday night in
Redwood City to toss a little more oil
on the machine before unleashing
against their respective division
opponents.
Of course we want to win the
game, because it helps us in terms of
the playoffs, but you know it really
come downs to, we want to do better
in a lot of difference places, said SHP
head coach Pete Lavorato. We want
to get a little bit better on offense, a
little bit on defense, a little on special
teams. We stress working on the fun-
damentals. We just want to get better
and play well so we can tell our league
that were ready to go.
With the way the PAL, in particular
the Bay Division, is shaping up,
every game serves as a much-needed
tune up with every win (or loss) send-
ing a message throughout the league.
Woodside might not pose to much
of a threat on paper, based on its 0-3
record, but the Wildcats should be
fresh after their week off and still very
hungry for that elusive rst win.
After a 44-26 loss to Sequoia, it
appears the bye came at the right
time. After starting off strong against
the Cherokees two weeks ago, the

OAKLAND Josh Donaldson
mimics Miguel Cabrera whenever
he can, and he has no problem
copping to it.
Donaldson spent a couple of
days each week over the offseason
studying tape of Detroits star in
the batters box, trying to pick up
on anything he could apply to his
own hitting for Oakland.
Indeed, Donaldson learned a
thing or two that worked on the
way to a breakout season: .301
batting average, 24 home runs, 93
RBIs in 158
games for the
AL West cham-
pion Athletics.
JDs the
MVP of our
team and
Miguel Cabrera
is the MVP of
baseball, As
first baseman
Brandon Moss
said.
These two talented third base-
men will face off in the playoffs
for the second straight October
starting with Game 1 of the AL
division series Friday night.
One is a household name, 2012
Triple Crown winner and widely
considered the best hitter in base-
ball. The other is more anony-
mous up-and-comer whose spec-
tacular September in his rst full
major league season earned him
AL player of the month honors.
Cabrera is making $21 million
this season, Donaldson a mere
$492,500.
Ive watched his videos a lot as
far as a hitter, Donaldson said.
Hes a highly talented hitter, and
I really appreciate the way he goes
about hitting and I try to learn
from him at
what hes
doing. I feel
hes one of the
best hitters in
the game that
goes to right
eld, and whats
helped me be
able to take it
to the next
level this year is the ability to be
able to hit it to right field.
Watching him over the course of
time has denitely helped me.
Cabrera was pleased to hear that
Donaldson had studied his tape.
Oh, thats great. Thats awe-
some, Cabrera said. Hes a great
player. Hes one of the reasons the
Oakland As are in the playoffs. He
brings a lot of energy to their ball-
club. I think youll see he can
change the game with his bat but
his glove, too.
And to think Donaldson had pre-
pared to play catcher until he was
called upon to ll in at third when
Scott Sizemore went down with a
season-ending knee injury at the
start of spring training 2012.
Aside from much focus at third
base, the rematch of last falls
Serra (2-1) vs. Bellarmine (3-0)
at San Jose City College,
7 p.m. Friday
The Padres pounded Buhach
Colony 48-15 last week. The
Bells blasted Piedmont Hills 41-21.
Serra has one of its most balanced
offenses in the Patrick Walsh Era.
The Padres are averaging 234 yards
passing and 252 yards rushing.
As good as the Serra offense has
been, the defense might be even bet-
ter. The Padres are allowing an aver-
age of 18 points per game so far this
season and have not allowed more
than 21 points. QB Matt Faaita
has completed 54 percent of his
passes this season and has thrown
for 416 yards in three games.
Kava Kennedy leads the Padres
ground attack with 296 yards, but is
just one of six players to score a
rushing touchdown this season.
Bellarmine has increased its scoring
output every week this season. The
Bells opened with a 28-point per-
formance, bumped that to 31 two
weeks ago and put up 41 last week.
The Bells have beaten the Padres
in their last six meetings since
2009, including a pair last season.
Bells QB K.J. Carta-Samuels has
already verbally committed to
Vanderbilt University.
Menlo School (3-1) at
McClymonds-Oakland (3-1),
7 p.m. Friday
The Knights knocked off Half
Moon Bay 47-6 last week. The
Warriors walloped Valley Christian-
Dublin, 44-22. This will be
Menlos second-biggest test of the
season, after its season-opening
loss to San Angelo Central in Texas.
Since giving up 84 points to San
Angelo Central, the Knights
defense has rebounded and has
allowed a combined 25 points in
their last three games.
McClymonds, AKA Mack, has
supplanted Skyline as the cream of
the Oakland Athletic League crop.
The Warriors have won the last three
OAL titles and advanced to the Nor
Cal Division IV championship
bowl game last season, falling to
Modestos Central Catholic. The
Warriors only loss this season was
a rematch with Central Catholic, a
38-24 defeat. Mack is averaging
42 points per game this season,
while allowing less than 20.

On the surface, next Tuesdays
Terra Nova-Capuchino girls ten-
nis match in San Bruno would not
garner much attention. Just anoth-
er Peninsula Athletic League ten-
nis match between a pair of mid-
dle-of-the-pack Ocean Division
squads.
Tuesday, however, is about more
than a simple tennis match. Its a
chance for both teams and their
communities to raise awareness
for a cause that touches millions
of lives: breast cancer.
Tuesday, Oct. 8, the Capuchino
girls tennis team will celebrate its
second annual Breast Cancer
Awareness Day beginning 3 p.m.
at the Capuchino tennis courts.
We wanted to start our girls
early (about breast cancer aware-
ness), said Capuchino coach Rich
de Leon.
De Leon said invited guests
include state Sen. Leland Yee, D-
San Francisco/San Mateo, San
Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane and repre-
sentatives from the American
Cancer Society, Seton Medical
Center, the Cancer Prevention
Institution of California, Kaiser
Permanente and Susan G. Komen
Foundation.
De Leon said he rst got the idea
last year when one of his assis-
tants suggested doing it. He quick-
ly realized how prevalent a disease
breast cancer, in particular, and
cancer, in general, is.
We started kind of small. But
the more we talked about it, we
found one parent and then another
parent (who had breast cancer), de
Leon said. This year, we got
another assistant and he said he
had someone is his family who
had breast cancer.
It is curious that the more we
talk to people about our event the
more we nd out that it touches
more lives than we know.
De Leon said even the Terra
Nova coach is a cancer survivor,
so it has touched a lot of lives in
both the Capuchino and Terra
Nova communities.
It shows (the players) it does-
nt have to be them. It could be
their mother, its their sister (who
gets the disease), de Leon said.
De Leon said his biggest prob-
lem is trying to relate to his play-
ers. He admits its awkward on
both sides to talk about such a per-
sonal matter. The fact he is a male
trying to talk to teenage girls
about a decidedly female topic
isnt easy, de Leon said.
Im a guy. [My players] dont
talk to me about these things, de
Leon said. But if they see people
from Kaiser, from Seton Medical,
people from their neighborhood,
have the mayor telling them (it
has a lot more impact).
Last year, de Leon and the team
decorated the courts with plenty of
pink: pink balloons, streamers
and even used pink tennis balls
during the matches.
While it may have looked pret-
t y, it wasnt very practical, de
Leon said. He said the blustery
winds in San Bruno caused the bal-
loons to pop at inopportune
moments and the players com-
plained they couldnt see the pink
balls as well as the traditional
green/yellow balls.
This year, were thinking about
different [decorations], de Leon
said.
Cap, Terra Nova tennis teams to raise awareness
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Abattle of unbeatens lived up to
its promise yesterday, as
Carlmont outlasted Woodside in a
ve-set thriller 23-25, 25-20,
23-25, 25-17, 15-5.
Carlmont (4-0 PAL Bay, 11-5
overall) turned the tide midway
through Game 4, after Woodside
(3-1, 10-7) led from the outset.
Then Scots senior hitter Charlotte
Jackman took over, notching
seven of her 20 kills in the piv-
otal game. After seizing the advan-
tage 10-9, Carlmont never trailed
throughout the remainder of the
match.
Scots senior Ella McDonough
fired a team-high 23 kills, and
only got stronger as the match
wore on. Woodside seemed the
more energetic team on the court
through the first three games,
while McDonough started slow,
and then made a technical error by
stepping to the service line out of
turn at the end of Game 3.
It seemed costly at the time.
However, her energy proved the
decisive factor, as the rising third-
year varsity star had plenty left in
the tank to nish strong.
We made a ton of stupid mis-
takes early in the match,
Carlmont head coach Chris Crader
said. They brought enough heart
that we were able to x stupid.
McDonough seemed to be one of
the only Scots players that wasnt
making mistakes. After starting
the game on the bench by virtue of
Carlmonts rotation, she erupted
in Game 3 with nine kills while
locking up with Woodsides heavi-
est hitter, senior Christine Alftin,
who blasted a match-high 29
kills.
But as the game wound down to a
thrilling finale, with Woodside
holding on to a 24-23 lead,
McDonough stepped to the service
line out of turn. As a result, she
had to come off the oor. And as
the ensuing match point devel-
oped, Carlmont had an opportune
dig which would have given
McDonough a kill shot. Instead,
the shot turned into an unforced
Scots error to end it, giving
Woodside a 2-1 lead in the match.
Carlmont bounced back with a
Game 4 win to tie it, then domi-
nated in Game 5. Woodsides back-
line seemed in total disarray dur-
ing the decisive game, despite the
best efforts of Wildcats senior
Dani Walsh to invigorate her
squad. After several early errors,
Walsh attempted to motivate her
team by yelling to start hitting
the ball.
I thought we were catching a lot
of momentum (early on), and I
thought we could have pulled it
out, Walsh said. We played real-
ly hard.
Carlmont simply outlasted its
opponent, with Amelia Tupou
sending the Scots home by going
on a six-point service run to end
i t .
With everyone else playing so
hard, everyone wanted to follow,
Crader said. That sort of energy is
hard to defend against, and it can
push the opponent back a little
bit.
With the win, Carlmont remains
one of two unbeaten teams in Bay
Division play, keeping pace with
Menlo-Atherton after the Bears
won in straight sets at Hillsdale.

SANTA CLARA Wearing a gray San
Francisco 49ers hoodie, soft-spoken running
back Frank Gore walked around team headquar-
ters with a familiar smile and strut Thursday.
Gore is in good spirits again, and so are the
49ers (2-2) entering Sunday nights game
against the Houston Texans (2-2) at
Candlestick Park. Gore gashed St. Louis for
153 yards on 20 carries in San Franciscos 35-
11 rout of the Rams last week to snap a two-
game losing skid and a rare running funk.
We got back to being us, Gore said.
While much of the attention had been on
quarterback Colin Kaepernick this season,
San Francisco struggled to get the ground
game going behind Gore.
Gore ran for just 144 yards the rst three
weeks combined, his worst start to a season
since becoming the teams featured back in
2006. Questions started to bubble up about
whether the 30-year-old running back, who
has had surgeries on both knees going back to
his college days at Miami, was wearing down.
Instead, San Francisco gave Gore as many
carries against St. Louis as he had the previ-
ous two weeks. All he did was run for more
yards than he had since Dec. 14, 2009, when
he racked up 167 against
Arizona on Monday Night
Football.
We know hes capable
of that, he knows hes
capable of that and our
offensive line knows hes
capable of that, 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said.
No question that every-
bodys inspired by what
he does. Nobody does it like Frank Gore.
Perhaps no player has contributed to San
Franciscos success more than Gore the past
three seasons.
With Gore anchoring a power running
game, the 49ers have been among the NFLs
top rushing teams since Harbaugh and offen-
sive coordinator Greg Roman revamped the
unit after taking control in 2011. During
Harbaughs tenure, San Francisco is 9-0 when
Gore runs for at least 100 yards.
Gore was fth in the NFC with 1,214 yards
rushing and his 4.7-yard average ranked sixth
in the NFL last season to help carry San
Francisco to the Super Bowl, where the 49ers
lost to the Baltimore Ravens. Gore also was
the league leader in rushing (319 yards) and
rushing touchdowns (4) in the postseason.
This year had been a different story until
last week.
San Francisco still ranks ninth in yards
rushing (524) mainly because of the 140
yards Kaepernick has gained on scrambles.
But the running game has shown little depth
so far.
Backup Kendall Hunter, coming back from a
torn Achilles tendon that ended his season
last year, has just 80 yards rushing through
four games. And LaMichael James, who
missed time with a knee injury, had three car-
ries for no yards against St. Louis.
The more we stay on the eld, the more we
can utilize those weapons, Roman said about
Hunter and James. So its denitely a func-
tion of how many plays youre running, how
many opportunities you have during a game
and try to forecast that when youre putting a
plan together.
Gore has made it clear he wants more run-
ning plays. He suggested that the 49ers had
become too reliant on passing after a home
loss to Indianapolis in Week 3, when he was
held to 12 yards on three carries in the second
half.
The teams longtime workhorse in the
backeld said getting back to basics
against St. Louis showed that the power run-
ning game, while not as ashy, is still San
Franciscos winning formula.
Just call plays and let us go out there man
on man and let the best man win, Gore said.
That challenge is not getting any easier
this week.
Houston is anchored by reigning NFL
Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt. The
Texans are 10th against the run, allowing
113.2 yards per game, with Watt moving all
over to keep linemen guessing.
Other than the Super Bowl, 49ers guard
Alex Boone said, Id say this is a (tougher)
test.
NOTES: Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio
said the chances All-Pro LB Patrick Willis
plays against Houston are better than 50-
50. Willis sat out at St. Louis with a strained
groin. He warmed up on the eld where rehab-
bing players work out during the portion of
practice open to reporters. ... Fangio said he
disagreed with the $21,000 ne the NFL
levied against safety Donte Whitner for his
shoulder-to-helmet hit on Rams wide receiver
Chris Givens. He also said the league instructs
ofcials to err on the side of caution, which
puts the defense at a disadvantage. They need
to err on the correct side, not on the safe side,
Fangio said. Because if it is an illegal hit, the
guy will get ned on Monday or Tuesday. If
you miss it as an ofcial, that doesnt mean
that its over and done with.

SAN JOSE Justin Braun scored his rst
goal in more than 19 months to break a tie
late in the second period and the San Jose
Sharks went on to beat the Vancouver
Canucks 4-1 Thursday night in the season
opener for both teams.
Brent Burns, Patrick Marleau and Tommy
Wingels also scored for the Sharks, who
have won eight straight against the
Canucks including a sweep in the rst round
of the playoffs last season. Antti Niemi
made 21 saves.
Jason Garrison scored a power-play goal
and Roberto Luongo made 31 saves for the
Canucks, who lost in the debut of new coach
John Tortorella.
The Canucks opened this season on the
same ice they ended the last one on after the
disappointing early playoff exit led to the
ring of coach Alain Vigneault.
Tortorella arrived and preached toughness
and tighter defensive play and got results on
an improved penalty-kill unit that kept the
Sharks off the score sheet on seven
chances, including a two-man advantage for
2 minutes. The Canucks allowed seven
power-play goals in the four playoff games
last season.
But Vancouver still wound up on the short
end as San Jose got the better of the even
strength play and did not let the blown 5-
on-3 chance tilt the momentum in the sec-
ond period.
The Sharks got that prime chance when
Ryan Kesler interfered with Niemi at one
end and before the next whistle, Garrison
was called for tripping Joe Thornton.
Luongo stopped all three shots on the
two-man advantage, including tough saves
against Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture.
But the Sharks scored 5-on-5 goals on
either side of the two-man advantage in the
second period.
San Jose had four even-strength goals
after nishing 28th in the league in that cat-
egory last season.
The rst came when Thornton took the
puck from Garrison in the neutral zone.
Rookie Tomas Hertl slid a pass to Burns,
who beat Luongo with a wrister to tie it at 1
early in the period.
Late in the period, Brauns shot from the
point got through a screen by Couture for
his rst goal since Feb. 10, 2012. Braun
had gone 85 games, including the playoffs,
without a goal.
Niemi made that lead stand up, helping
kill two penalties in the third period and
making a sharp pad save to rob Chris
Higgins midway through the period.
Marleau and Wingels added insurance
goals late in the third.
Luongo was sharp early in his rst game
back as the No. 1 goalie in Vancouver after
the offseason trade of Cory Schneider to
New Jersey.
Luongo stopped all 16 shots in the open-
ing period as the Canucks took a 1-0 lead on
Garrisons power-play goal after the rst of
two penalties on Brent Burns.

Panthers pummeled South City, 51-0.
Despite its fourth straight loss, Jefferson is
starting to show some signs of life on
offense. After being shut out in their rst two
games, the Indians have scored 33 points over
their last two. The defense continues to be
a problem for Jefferson. The Indians are allow-
ing an average of 55 points per game.
Burlingame is absolutely dominating its
opposition so far this year. The Panthers are
averaging 46 points per game and allowing
just four, posting a pair of shutouts in the
process. Its hard to say who the main man
is for the Panthers as they had nearly a dozen
guys carry the ball last week. Manase Palu
and Keone Keahi are the main recipients, but
coach John Philipopoulos is not afraid to dis-
tribute the ball.
Calvary Murrieta (2-2) at
Kings Academy (1-2), 7 p.m. Friday
The Warriors are coming off a 13-6 win over
Hamilton City. The Knights were KOd by
Sacred Heart Prep, 48-7. Calvary Murrieta
has struggled offensively this season, scoring
a total of 42 points and averaging less than
200 yards of offense per game. The
Warriors have a potential star-in-the-making
in freshman Adam Schwab, the type of player
Kings Academy will have to account for on
both sides of the ball. Schwab has passed for
181 yards, rushed for 82 and has 38 yards
receiving. On defense, hes made 15 tackles.
After opening the season with a 55-7 win
over San Jose, Kings Academy has struggled
the last two games against much stiffer com-
petition, scoring a combined 14 points in
losses to Scotts Valley and SHP. Like
Calvary Murietta, the Knights have struggled
to move the ball offensively, averaging less
than 150 yards of offense per game. Against
San Jose in their season opener, however, the
Knights piled up 276 yards of total offense.
San Mateo (2-2) vs. Christopher (2-1)
at Gilroy High School, 2 p.m. Saturday
The Bearcats escaped with a 19-10 win over
Carlmont last week. The Cougars suffered
their rst loss of the season last week, falling
48-21 to Carmel. San Mateo is averaging
nearly 180 yards rushing per game, with Line
Latu accounting for most of them. The junior
is averaging nearly 120 yards per contest. San
Mateo needs someone other than Latu to step
up and take some of the focus and workload off
of Latu. After scoring 43 points in their
opener against Gunn, the Bearcats have com-
bined for just 32 points in their last three
games. Christopher was 2-8 last season.
The Cougars are averaging 28 points per game
while allowing 20.
BEST
offense tired rushing the Wildcats only tallied
32 yards.
On Friday against SHP, Woodside will look to
try and throw the ball with similar efciency
than two weeks ago. On that night, quarterback
Robert Wang completed 15 of 32 passes for 261
yards and a pair of touchdowns with Josh
Holman being his main target. Holman nished
with 112 yards and a touchdown on eight catch-
es.
Thats easier said than done against the
Gators.
You see, Sacred Heart Prep is in a totally dif-
ferent boat than Woodside. The Gators are 4-0
and seem to be clicking on all cylinders. Last
season, SHPs bread and butter was its defense.
And despite losing a lot of talent from one of the
top defenses in the Central Coast Section, the
Gators appear to be just as good. In four wins,
SHP has two shutouts and has surrendered only
17 points.
We have denitely lost a bunch of guys,
Lavorato said. But you what know? All the
young guys have really stepped up. Our defen-
sive line in denitely veteran and we have
young guys that are playing quite well. But is it
a learning process.
Whats a little more interesting about this
years version of the Gators is their offense.
Theyve found themselves an effective quarter-
back who can throw the football around a little
bit. Mason Randall went 7 of 9 last week for 122
yards and a touchdown. As a team, SHP passed
for 186 yards a season high in a game against
the Kings Academy.
But as always, SHPcontrols clock by running
the football and lets its defense do the work.
Last week against TKAwas no exception. The
Gators ran for 322 yards and ve touchdowns.
Eleven different Gators got at least one carry
with four going for at least 47 yards. Ricky Grau
was the leading rusher with 76 yards. But
Andrew Segre has a great game as well. He
rushed 70 and caught three passes for 60 more.
It poses some problems for defenses,
Lavorato said of this new-found balance. We
can throw the ball a little bit. Our offense hasnt
change. Im not the type of coach thats going
to change his whole offense because of player
personnel. Its just not what we do. However, we
can change, within our scheme, we can add cer-
tain things that will allow more balance because
we can throw the ball downeld.
The Daily Journal Game of the Week is sched-
uled for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

STANFORD David Shaw has
been shuttling between makeshift
work stations in Stanfords athletic
department since the spring, and
some of his coaches have been
operating out of cubicles erected on
a basketball court while workers
moved the football ofces into a
new facility.
Safe to say theyre all about to get
a major upgrade.
Stanford unveiled the football
teams sparkling new digs Thursday
night. The new $21 million addi-
tion of the Arrillaga Family Sports
Center, which also will provide
services to other teams, has every-
thing from a new locker room to
coaches ofces to lounges for play-
ers past and present.
Shaw moved into his ofce
Thursday morning along with a few
others once the school received
clearance from the re department,
and the entire fth-ranked football
program will move into the build-
ing next week after hosting No. 15
Washington on Saturday night.
It shows how serious we are
about football, Shaw said. We
needed new facilities. We needed
more space and we needed a bigger,
nicer locker room and we needed the
meeting space. Its exactly what we
needed. Its beautiful.
The project is the latest example
of the programs rise to an unlikely
national powerhouse the last six
years. After going to three straight
BCS bowl games, including the
schools rst Rose Bowl victory in
41 years last January, the staff had
outgrown its small corner of
Stanfords athletic ofces.
The Cardinal also are trying to
keep pace, especially after Pac-12
rival Oregon recently opened its
glitzy new football facility esti-
mated conservatively at $68 mil-
lion funded by Oregon alum and
Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his
wife, Penny. Washington also
underwent a $280 million renova-
tion to Husky Stadium and its foot-
ball facilities.
Matt Doyle, Stanfords associate
athletic director and director of foot-
ball operations, said he toured about
50 other major collegiate facilities
for ideas. One of the unique aspects
of Stanfords 27,000-square foot
addition features: 110 lockers for
current players as well as a second-
ary locker area where Stanfords NFL
and other former athletes can return
in the offseason.
We hadnt really seen anything
like that, Doyle said.

rst-round series takes on a far different
look this time around. Cabrera, Prince
Fielder and the Tigers have something to
prove after being swept by San Francisco in
last years World Series, while the As were
hardly a surprise division champion this
time and know how close they were to beat-
ing the Tigers and reaching the ALCS.
Max Scherzer (21-3) gets the ball oppo-
site Oakland 18-game winner Bartolo
Colon for the opener. Tigers manager Jim
Leyland is going with Justin Verlander in
Saturdays Game 2 against rookie Sonny
Gray.
Verlander beat the As in Games 1 and 5
last year.
Thats still plenty fresh for both sides,
but so is the As late August visit to
Comerica Park in which they took three of
four on Detroits home eld.
The As didnt need a last-second rally this
year like their improbable late-September
2012 push in which they stunned Texas on
the nal day and became the rst team in
major league history to win a division or
pennant after trailing by ve games with
less than 10 to play.
Its denitely a little more pressure when
youre out in front than when youre play-
ing from behind when youre behind,
youre still the underdog, As center elder
Coco Crisp said Thursday. To be honest, I
think were still the underdog when were in
front.
Cabreras big bat will decide plenty. He
hit .348 with 44 home runs and 137 RBIs
but often has played through pain because
of a variety of injuries a troublesome
back, a sore left hip, a lower abdominal
strain for a Tigers team coming off its
third straight AL Central crown.
I wish tomorrow at game time Im 100
percent. I feel much better the last couple
days, Cabrera said of his groin problem. I
dont think its going to be an issue for the
playoffs. Anything can happen. Im ready
to give everything on the eld.
Leyland has seen improvement in
Cabreras leg strength.
Hes playable. Hes not 100 percent,
Leyland said. Hes handicapped a little bit,
but the last few days have been better.
Donaldson will take note of Cabrera, even
if not at fully healthy.
Any time I can watch him hit, if Im
watching a game, I like to watch and see
what hes doing, Donaldson said. Thats
what I do in the offseason.
Still, the As expect Cabrera to bring his
best in October when the stakes are so much
higher.
The As have their own injury concerns,
with left elder Yoenis Cespedes hoping to
play the outeld Friday.
Manager Bob Melvin said Cespedes threw
Thursday to test his sore right shoulder and
theres a good chance youll see him in left
eld tomorrow, and not be relegated to des-
ignated hitter.
Leyland considered Oaklands home eld
one of the most difcult last year as raucous,
sellout Coliseum crowds packed the place
for the teams rst playoffs in six years.
And, now, tarps in the third deck have
been removed to bring capacity from
35,067 to 48,146 in a dual-sport facility
that has featured sewage spills in the club-
houses and dugouts this year.
Ive heard the plumbing here isnt quite
up to standards, Scherzer quipped. Im
hearing the birds chirp on that.
Kind of tting for the blue-collar, low-
budget franchise.
Its a little more rugged, Crisp said. It
does have its own personality.

ST. LOUIS Carlos Beltrans three-run
homer sparked a seven-run third inning and the
St. Louis Cardinals got seven stingy innings
from Adam Wainwright, delivering a reality jolt
to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 9-1 rout
Thursday in their NLdivision series opener.
The rst eight Cardinals reached safely in the
third to chase A.J. Burnett, saddling the right-
hander with the second-shortest outing of his
career and putting Game 1 out of reach early. A
sellout crowd roared early and then settled in for
an easy victory.
Lance Lynn (15-10) faces Pirates rookie
Gerrit Cole (10-7) in Game 2 Friday.
The Pirates ended a 21-year postseason
drought and entered their rst best-of-ve divi-
sion series with apparent momentum after beat-
ing Cincinnati in the wild-card game Tuesday.
They never threatened to rally against the
Cardinals ace and nished with only four hits.
Pittsburgh also was sloppy in the eld, com-
mitting three errors. St. Louis was sharp on
defense, with reliever Carlos Martinez turning
in the top play by slinging an off-balance throw
to rst to nip Russell Martin.
What a play! Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny mouthed in the dugout.
Wainwright remained unbeaten in the post-
season, going to 3-0 with a 2.27 ERA in 14
games, ve of them starts.
Wainwright allowed a run on three hits in
seven innings, striking out nine without a
walk. The only damage coming on a homer by
Pedro Alvarez to start the fth.
The right-hander tied for the NL lead with 19
wins this year and was 4-0 in his last ve starts.
Wainwright also started the Cardinals big
burst with a leadoff, full-count walk.
Beltran, who has never reached the World
Series, reprised his role as one of the games
greatest playoff sluggers. His 443-foot drive put
St. Louis ahead and was the second-longest shot
by a left-handed batter at 8-year-old Busch
Stadium.
Beltran has 15 home runs, 10 doubles and 28
RBIs in 35 postseason games. He also has
scored 40 runs and stolen 11 bases.
His 13 career RBIs against Burnett are the
most of any player.
Beltrans homer got the Cardinals going, and
Jon Jay later walked with the bases loaded.
David Freese added a two-run single that cleared
the bases when right elder Marlon Byrds
throw to the plate deected away.
While the Pirates may have had trouble at the
plate and in the eld with the shadows, the late-
afternoon start didnt seem to bother the
Cardinals.
St. Louis romps to
win over Pittsburgh
By Paul Newberry
ATLANTA Clayton Kershaw and the Los
Angeles Dodgers opened the playoffs looking
intent on ending that quarter-century drought
since their last World Series championship.
For the Atlanta Braves, another dose of
October misery.
Kershaw struck out 12 during seven domi-
nant innings, Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run
homer and the Dodgers beat the bumbling
Braves 6-1 in Game 1 of the NL division
series Thursday night.
The big-money Dodgers havent won a
Series title since 1988 by far their longest
dry spell since the franchise moved from
Brooklyn to Southern California in 1958.
In an interesting twist, Kershaw was born
just a few months before that most recent
title. If the left-hander keeps pitching the way
he did against Atlanta, the Dodgers might
have a chance to go all the way again.
Hes the best pitcher in baseball,
Gonzalez said, and he showed it tonight.
Kershaw, who had a 1.83 ERA during the
regular season, limited the Braves to Chris
Johnsons run-scoring single with two outs
in the fourth. That just seemed to make the
pitcher mad he struck out Andrelton
Simmons to end Atlantas only serious threat,
and the next ve Braves hitters for good meas-
ure.
Appropriately, Kershaw nished up by
striking out the side in the seventh, matching
his season high for Ks. He allowed just three
hits.
The Braves struck out 15 times in all.
Even though slugger Matt Kemp is out for
the playoffs and Andre Ethier is hobbling
with an injured ankle, the Dodgers had no
trouble piling up runs against Kris Medlen
and the Braves.
The Atlanta starter, who came into the play-
offs riding a ve-game winning streak, gave
up nine hits and ve runs in four-plus innings.
Medlen nally got the hook when he plunked
Yasiel Puig with a pitch right between the
shoulder blades.
Of course, Medlen wouldve fared better if
hed gotten any help from the guys behind
him.
The Braves played some truly atrocious
defense, though they were not charged with an
error.
In the second, rookie left elder Evan Gattis
opped to the ground in an attempt to catch a
sinking liner, only to look very much like the
converted catcher he is. The ball hit by A.J.
Ellis rolled all the way to the wall for an RBI
double, putting the Dodgers ahead 2-0 on a
play that an outelder with even a modest
amount of experience probably wouldve
grabbed fairly easily.
Gonzalez began to put it out of reach in the
third, driving a pitch over the center-eld wall
for his rst postseason homer, a two-run shot
that made it 4-0 as a sense of doom fell over a
Turner Field crowd that had been so raucous in
the rst when Medlen struck out the side.
Getting that 4-0 lead, we were really com-
fortable, Gonzalez said.

Updated Buick LaCrosse is a peaceful riding sedan
By Ann M. Job
Buicks largest sedan, the LaCrosse, is a quiet and peace-
ful riding car with a spacious interior that is updated for
2014 with new seats, styling and luxury appointments.
The 2014 LaCrosse also has ashier exterior styling than
its 2013 predecessor from a bigger waterfall-type grille
and long, shiny, silver strip on the trunk and offers new
radar- and camera-based safety features.
Among them: Cross-trafc alert that can briey vibrate
the drivers seat cushion if an oncoming car is detected
while the driver is backing up out of a parking space. Its
difcult to ignore this car-to-human communication, and
its more effective than merely adding another beeping
sound or warning light to a cars interior.
Plus, with 40.5 inches of legroom in the back seat, the
LaCrosse is ready to carry passengers. Some sedans dont
have this much legroom in the front seats.
Starting retail price of the LaCrosse is up but competi-
tive, and thats before taking into consideration Buicks
free regular maintenance on the car. All 2014 LaCrosses
come with two years/24,000 miles of free, regular scheduled
maintenance, which includes oil and lter changes, tire
rotations and multi-point inspections.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including
destination charge, is $34,060 for a base, 2014 LaCrosse
with front-wheel drive.
At this price, buyers get to choose between the 182-
horsepower four cylinder with eAssist hybrid technology,
which delivers the LaCrosses top fuel economy numbers,
or the more powerful, 304-horsepower, direct injection,
gasoline V-6 with no eAssist. The V-6 engine is a no-extra-
cost offering in the base LaCrosse, and each engine comes
with a six-speed automatic transmission.
In contrast, the starting MSRP, including destination
charge, for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ sedan is $37,085, and this
front-wheel drive model has a 240-horsepower, tur-
bocharged four cylinder. The 2014 MKZ with V-6 has a start-
All 2014 LaCrosses come with two years/24,000 miles of free, regular scheduled maintenance, which includes oil and lter
changes, tire rotations and multi-point inspections.

ing retail price of $38,315.
Another competitor, the 2014 Lexus ES,
has a starting MSRP, including destina-
tion charge, of $37,280 with 268-horse-
power V-6 and six-speed automatic. Note
that the base ES includes a power moon-
roof. The base LaCrosse does not.
The lowest starting retail price for a
2014 LaCrosse with all-wheel drive is
$39,140 and includes the V-6. All-wheel
drive is not available with the LaCrosse
four-cylinder engine. This price is below
the $40,205 starting retail price for a
2014 MKZ with V-6 and all-wheel drive.
But Lincoln also offers an all-wheel drive,
2014 MKZ with turbo four cylinder with a
starting retail price of $38,975.
Slotting in the lineup atop the Buick
Verano compact sedan and the mid-size
Regal, the LaCrosse is nearly 7 inches
longer from bumper to bumper than the
Regal and nearly an inch taller. Most of
the extra length goes for the generous
LaCrosse back-seat legroom.
In fact, the smaller Regal has a larger
trunk than the LaCrosse. Maximum trunk
capacity is 13.3 cubic feet in the LaCrosse
vs. the Regals 14.2 cubic feet.
The Lexus ES and Lincoln MKZ also
offer more trunk room. But the 2014
LaCrosse has rear seatbacks that fold
down, nearly flat, in two sections.
This provides additional cargo room,
especially for long items.
The two LaCrosse powerplants are large-
ly carried over from last year.
The test LaCrosse had the 3.6-liter V-6
that delivered power smoothly in regular
driving. Passengers, cocooned in a Buick
QuietTuning interior and talking in nor-
mal conversational tones, rarely noticed
engine sounds.
In pedal-to-the-metal acceleration
during passing on highways, for example
there was just a bit of a wait and then
the power came on steadily. Peak torque is
264 foot-pounds at 5,300 rpm.
Even with highway passing demands and
hilly terrain, the test car averaged 23.9
miles per gallon in driving that was 70
percent on highways. The federal govern-
ments fuel economy numbers for this
model are 18 mpg in city driving and 28
mpg on highways for a combined 21 mpg.
Only regular unleaded gas is needed.
With V-6, the LaCrosse has an 18-gallon
fuel tank, so the range of the tester was
430 miles.
With the 2.4-liter four cylinder with
eAssist technology that stops the engine
automatically at idle to save fuel, the
LaCrosses top fuel mileage is 25/36 mpg.
The ride in the test LaCrosse wasnt just
quiet and relatively agile. It was stable and
compliant, with the MacPherson strut
front suspension and rear H-arm suspen-
sion configuration keeping most road
bumps away from passengers.
Speeds can be deceptive in this comfort-
able riding car. What felt like 60 miles per
hour on the highway was actually 75-plus
mph. This was a good reason to use the
optional head-up display in the test
LaCrosse. It projected the vehicles speed
in large, digital numbers onto the wind-
shield ahead of the driver, allowing a close
watch on speeds.
The LaCrosses easy-to-read, white
gauges allowed for customization, too,
and the navigation system allowed the
front-seat passenger to input destinations
as the car traveled. Many other navigation
systems allow destination inputs only
when a vehicle is stopped.
The LaCrosses tastefully crafted interi-
or has a low top of the dashboard, giving
an airy feel.
Front-seat interior lamps, in particular,
give more light than whats found in many
other cars. Its as if the LaCrosses interi-
or comes alive with light at night when
the interior lighting goes on when doors
open.
A thin line of ice-blue, light-emitting
diode lighting that runs along the front of
the dashboard is eye-catching and sooth-
ing at night. Too bad this arc of light does-
nt extend to the doors.
The test cars trunk had no hooks or
latches on which to attach bags and other
items.
New, optional safety features include
lane change alert, blind spot warning and
adaptive cruise control that can automati-
cally adjust vehicle speed as the LaCrosse
comes upon cars in front.
Only frontal crash test results are avail-
able from the federal government, and the
2014 LaCrosse earned five out of five stars
for passenger protection.

In an age when were able to consume
content so many different ways and
thats a good thing, mostly lets declare
right now that theres only one truly correct
way to experience Gravity, Alfonso
Cuarons thrilling new space lm.
In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D.
Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers we
hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to
see in 3-D.
And please, no matter how many months
or years pass, dont watch this lm on your
little smartphone.
If youve seen the heart-pounding trailer,
youll know that Sandra Bullock and George
Clooney play astronauts who experience a
traumatic accident in space. You may also
know about the extraordinary special
effects used to create this weightless cine-
matic world so extraordinary that many
are calling the lm a landmark of the sci-
genre.
But what you cant know, until youre in
the theater, is just how much youll feel like
youre up there in space, feeling its vast-
ness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how
you might let yourself forget, momentarily,
that this movie wasnt shot on location.
And how youll ask yourself, how did they
DO this? And how youll then forget the
question, because youll be caught up once
again in this 90-minute thrill ride.
Cuarons filmmaking prowess is no
secret. His 2007 Children of Men was a
masterful evocation of a bleak futuristic
world where women can no longer con-
ceive, and warring gangs struggle for con-
trol of the dying human race.
But while that lm teemed with people,
Gravity has but a few. It aims to evoke the
full terror of true solitude indeed, Bullock
is alone much of the time.
And though it doesnt take place on Earth,
Gravity is in a way closer to our reality
not a futuristic world, but one that exists
today, though youd have to be on a space
Gravity, 90 minutes
of terrifying beauty
By Ryan Pearson
LOS ANGELES Sandra Bullock says
making the lost-in-space movie Gravity
with director Alfonso Cuaron was the best
life decision I think I ever made.
Cuaron coaxed Bullock into playing an
astronaut coping with disaster at the
International Space Station after she had
intentionally taken a break from
Hollywood following her Oscar-winning
performance in The Blind Side, subse-
quent divorce and then adoption of son
Louis.
What I got out of it personally out-
weighed everything else, Bullock said in
an interview. Im glad I got to meet the
human being Alfonso that led me to
say, OK, let me investigate if I can even

do this.
Bullocks priority had been spending
time with her son, who is now 3, and
Cuaron assured her that she wouldnt miss
anything while shooting the film, which
also features George Clooney and lands in
theaters on Friday.
It has to be a great time for my son. I
cant miss him. If I miss him, I will be of
no use to you, Bullock recalled telling
Cuaron and producers. You know, hes
just learning how to walk. So guess whats
going to happen? I have to go! Hes taking
steps! But they made it so (nice for Louis).
It was a family film. Everyone had kids. So
everyone knew the value of that. So they
said, If we make it amazing for him right
where you are, will you be OK? And I said,
yeah.
Now that Gravity has debuted to posi-
tive reviews and enthusiastic responses at
the Venice and Toronto film festivals, its
likely to gobble up even more time as
Bullock again hits the awards circuit.
(Critics say shes a lock for a best actress
Oscar nomination, given how much the
movie rests on her shoulders.) Shes OK
with that to a point.
Guess whats more important than
being here right now? I know its you, but
it happens to be the school run this morn-
ing, she told a reporter, laughing.
Because we have picture day on Friday. So
as long as I can do those things that to me
are very important and make me happy, I
can be here all day, but I have my ins and
outs. ... And thats the way it was filming.
I was like, I will be here 100 percent as
long as I know that little dude is perfectly
content.
For much of the Gravity shoot,
Bullock was hooked up to innovative rigs
to simulate weightlessness sometimes
in complete darkness on a soundstage in
London. She was mostly the only actor on
set, making it even more difficult to con-
vey the emotions of her character, medical
engineer Ryan Stone.
I would feel sorry for her all the time,
said Cuaron, who co-wrote the script with
his son Jonas and spent four years devel-
oping the film using new technology for
weightless effects.
But the 49-year-old actress talks about
the process, in which she had to carefully
move her body to match lighting and cam-
eras, as if it were therapy.
Youre frustrated because you cant
accomplish something. Theres no con-
trol. I was always out of my element, she
said. I learned so much on a daily basis.
And I just went wow, isnt that funny how
being miserable every day physically and
then emotionally because of work then
turns makes you open to whatever is
coming your way.
Gravity will be trailed into theatres by
two other nearly solo survival stories.
Robert Redford is lost in the Indian Ocean
after his boat capsizes in All Is Lost and
Mia Wasikowska treks across the
Australian wilderness in Tracks. They
follow the success earlier this year of the
lifeboat adventure Life of Pi.
Asked about the trend, Bullock said the
films question the value of todays con-
stant connectivity. Her answer also hints
at her own state of mind during her very
public 2010 divorce from reality TV star
Jesse James.
As connected as we are with technolo-
gy, its also removed us from having to
have human connection, made it more con-
venient to not be intimate, Bullock said.
And then when adversity hits, what do we
do? We isolate. And in a world thats so
alive, we find ourselves more alone than
ever. How is that? So thats probably why
all of these things are springing up. When

CIRCLING THE GLOBE: ROUND-THE-WORLD
FLIGHTS AND AIRLINE SERVICE, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. Avaried collection
of aircraft models, airline promotional items and commem-
orative objects are on display in Circling the Globe:
Round-the-World Flights and Airline Service, at the San
Francisco Airport Museum. They represent the legacy of
ying around the world, the ultimate in the conquest of ter-
restrial space. For millennia, humans viewed the world as
encompassing unimaginably vast distances. To travel
around or to the end of it as some believed it was at
was beyond anyones comprehension. In 1522, the crew of
the Victoria returned to Spain after completing the rst
recorded circumnavigation of the globe. They had lost their
captain, Ferdinand Magellan, but had managed to complete
the perilous journey in just less than three years.
Three-hundred-and-fty years later, Jules Verne inspired
the imagination of millions with his work Around the
World in 80 Days, about a ctional character traveling
around the world using mostly rail and steamer, the swiftest
modes of transportation available during the industrial age.
Soon reality began to catch up with ction, and in 1913
John Henry Mears completed the trip in a record 35 days. He
was also the rst to use an airplane invented just a decade
earlier on a short leg of his route. For the 1915 Panama
Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, the Bureau of
Aeronautics announced its sponsorship of an around-the-
world air race with a travel time limit of 95 days. In 1924, a
group of U.S. Army Air Service pilots successfully com-
pleted the journey in 175 days, ying two Douglas World
Cruiser biplanes.
Throughout the 1920s and '30s, around-the-world records
would be established and broken. In 1938, business mag-
nate and aviator Howard Hughes, ying a state-of-the-art,
modified Lockheed Super Electra, circumnavigated the
globe by air in just 91 hours, setting a world speed record.
Not until the 1986 ight of the Rutan Model 76 Voyager,
piloted by Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, did an aircraft y
around the world without stopping or refueling.
In 1947, regularly scheduled around-the-world service on
a single airline was inaugurated by Pan American World
Airways. Soon after, numerous other airlines began offer-
ing the service. Tourist-class tickets established in the
1950s brought affordable around-the-world services to a
larger percentage of the public. Airlines began to heavily
promote the service and passengers proudly aunted
their globe-trotting with around-the-world traveler sta-
tus with certicates, membership cards and promotional
airline giveaways. Objects evidencing these developments
are the subject matter of Circling the Globe: Round-the-
World Flights and Airline Service, on display at Terminal 1,
Departures Level 2 Pre-Security through March 2014.
There is no charge to view this exhibition. Information
about may be found at www. ysfo.com/museum.

MUSEUM
mission to get there.
If you were, youd want to be with Matt
Kowalski (Clooney), the experienced
mission commander, cocky and totally
in charge. He jokes easily with Mission
Control (voiced by Ed Harris, in a nice
nod to Apollo 13 and The Right
Stuff) while spacewalking with a new
jet pack, but when disaster strikes, hes
the guy you want nearby.
Bullock is Ryan Stone, a medical engi-
neer installing a new system on the Hubble
telescope. Shes on her rst mission, and
feeling rather queasy, when suddenly a mas-
sive eld of debris comes hurtling by, send-
ing Stone spiraling out of control.
All this and more is established in a sin-
gle, stunning, 13-minute opening shot.
And Cuaron is just getting started.
While well reveal no more plot, its
worth noting that the lms one aw stems
from an effort to give Bullocks character
more of a backstory than necessary, per-
haps an overly sentimental one. But over-
all, the actress nds that difcult balance
between frailty and tenacity. And Bullocks
grounded presence pun intended is a
huge plus here.
The script is by Cuaron and his son,
Jonas, but kudos are also due cinematogra-
pher Emmanuel Lubezki and visual effects
supervisor Tim Webber, for their seamless
blend of live action, animation and CGI. As
for the 3-D, never once does it feel anything
less than totally integrated with the lms
purpose.
As the credits roll, you may nd yourself
thinking about real space launches youve
watched, or watching man walk on the
moon, and remembering that feeling of awe
at how man ever developed the technology
to explore space in the rst place.
But save a bit of movie-lovers awe, too,
for Cuaron, who has many of us feeling
closer to space than weve ever felt before.

Josh Hugg: The department has suf-
fered from years of being short staffed,
while attempting to maintain high service
levels. Augmenting staffing and maximiz-
ing operational efficiencies through the
upcoming management audit are good first
steps. Public trust will only be restored
when a culture of community engagement,
accountability and transparency is consis-
tently demonstrated.
David Lim: I am proud to have called
for an independent audit of the Community
Development Department to help improve
and restore confidence in city services. We
must restore staffing to crucial areas and
allow staff the freedom and creativity to
help serve the people of San Mateo.
Robert Ros s : Be transparent and have
honest discussion and admit deficiencies
and review areas we can improve. Audit
processes, identify inadequacies, add safe-
guards and require signoffs to ensure
accountability is a must. We must continu-
ally monitor areas presenting similar
challenges. We must train employees in
these areas and demand and ensure process
compliance.
Karen Schmi dt: This turn of events
really concerns me and it appears that the
series of resignations is a means of
protest for lack of support on the inside.
Then beyond the lawsuits are costly audits
that wound the budget, and cripple every-
ones moral. It was explained to me that
projects shifted from hand to hand and cor-
responding background notes etc. ... were
not married with the basic information,
perhaps due to a more analog way of fil-
ing.
What i s your vi s i on f or t he ci t ys
downtown?
Joe Goet hal s: San Mateo has experi-
enced great success with our downtown and
I hope to build upon that success. Our
restaurant population is a magnet for din-
ers. We can build on that success by
including office and residential space that
will in turn support robust retail activity.
Improved community benefits must
include new parking opportunities as well
as improved pedestrian and bicycle infra-
structure.
Josh Hugg: I envision a lively down-
town with a diverse mix of retail, restau-
rants, offices and homes. We need more
events that bring San Mateans together
and key to that is a central gathering
space, wide sidewalks for al fresco dining
and, of course, adequate parking. Making a
stronger connection to Central Park will
also accentuate the beauty of our down-
town.
David Lim: Continue to promote spe-
cial events in downtown, and encourage
more retail to add to the mix of restaurants
already in place. Additionally, work on a
long-term vision to build a community
center at Central Park to serve as a gateway
into downtown and promote more commu-
nity activities and civic arts in downtown.
Robert Ros s : A downtown that is
clean, policed and serviced, including con-
sistency in design, architecture, signage
of historic areas, hanging signs, plaques
on buildings, tree lighting, intersections
with brick corners, outside dining, a
plaza, mixed-use greater density buildings
in targeted areas, world-class transporta-
tion and traffic flow and automated robotic
parking should be the priority.
Karen Schmi dt: I would like to see a
bike share program with more racks,
maybe even a free trolley to minimize cars
and maximize human sustainability. If we
want to promote mobility, we have to
develop the digital tools like an app to
highlight routes, available parking and
offer advertising to the local merchants.
What i s a deci s i on t he Ci t y
Counci l has made i n l ast four years
that you di sagree wi th and why?
Joe Goet hal s: The City Council has
worked very hard in the past four years to
face a myriad of challenges. They have
balanced the budget. They have worked
tirelessly with their public employees to
reach agreements to weather the economic
recession. They made significant cuts to
save money. They have ensured that police
and fire and city service levels remained
hi gh.
Josh Hugg: I am pleased that several
neighborhoods were removed from the
FEMA flood zone last year because of the
new levee but I remain disappointed that
the city has not taken more steps to bring
similar benefits to North Shoreview, San
Mateo Village and North Central. I know
residents who moved away because they
cannot afford flood insurance.
David Lim: I disagreed with the City
Council decision to not require an open,
public vote on employee salaries above
$200,000 and on contracts over $25,000.
These salaries and contracts can be
approved by the city manager with no
direct council vote or public input. I voted
to create these rules but was outvoted. I
believe the City Council must be person-
ally accountable for your tax dollars.
Robert Ros s: Making city ordinance
violations, non-criminal infractions,
chargeable as criminal misdemeanors. I
struggle with labeling a city ordinance
violator a criminal and making them sub-
ject to criminal penalties. Improper or
overzealous application of administering
such a law, potentially makes citizens
question our motives and intentions such
as the Claremont automotive enforcement.
Karen Schmi dt: I am not so sure that
the 7-Eleven debacle was properly reined
and mediated for the best outcome. I think
further concessions can be made with 7-
Eleven, like painting the building gray,
putting some bike racks in the front of the
lot and perhaps limiting the hours of oper-
ation to tame the look and minimize
potential late night commotion.
Litigation is rarely the best solution.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Kenneth Campo, aka Kenneth F.
Campo
Case Number: 123748
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Kenneth Campo, aka
Kenneth F. Campo. A Petition for Pro-
bate has been filed by Carmela Eleazar
Campo in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Carmela Elea-
zar Campo be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: October 21, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
203 Public Notices
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

three overcrowded elementary schools and
those in San Mateo who say too much of the
bond money will go toward assisting Foster
City students.
Lim and Ross oppose the measure, in
part, because all seven members of the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief had Foster Citys
interests in mind since no one from San
Mateo sat on the committee, according to a
staff report the full council will hear
Monday.
The two also contend that the bond does
not address equal access to a quality educa-
tion since San Mateo has an average popu-
lation of 31 percent low-income students
compared to only 4 percent low-income stu-
dents in Foster City.
They also said plans for Knolls
Elementary School are vague and unfair to
San Mateo parents and that some schools in
San Mateo have capacity to house addition-
al students that could ease the districts
overall crowding problem.
If passed, property owners will pay $19
per $100,000 of assessed property value
annually to pay off the bond.
The district still has $70 million remain-
ing in Measure Lfunds that was approved by
district voters in 2008.
As I understand it, most of the proceeds
of the prior bonds went toward schools
located in San Mateo yet I wholeheartedly
supported that because those schools need-
ed the funds to make repairs and expand
their campuses, Foster City Vice Mayor
Charlie Bronitsky wrote the Daily Journal
in an email.
Bowditch is more than 40 years old and is
antiquated, Bronitsky said.
The district tried for years without success
to nd space in Foster City to build a fourth
elementary school in anticipation of
increasing enrollment.
Adding on to Bowditch will add capacity
to the three elementary schools in Foster
City and ease the citys current overcrowd-
ing problems, according to bond propo-
nents.
The district is seeking the councils
endorsement of the bond measure. The coun-
cil may still endorse it, however, despite
the subcommittees recommendation since
it would require three votes.
Measure P requires 55 percent of voters
approval to pass.
The San Mateo City Council meets 7

Opponents also claim the clinics other
impacts include noise, trafc, parking and
aesthetics but that none were analyzed prior
to approval of the three-story, 7,846-
square-foot facility.
City Attorney Steve Mattas said the city
was served Tuesday and that the lawsuit
doesnt change the advice previously pro-
vided.
Mattas said the proposed facility did not
need further environmental review because
it is moving into an existing building
rather than requiring new construction.
The City Council vote 3-2 to deny an
appeal of the Planning Commissions pre-
vious issuance of a use permit for the clinic.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto and
Mayor Pedro Gonzalez were in the minority,
citing the proposed clinics location.
Planned Parenthood looked at several
locations but chose Grand Avenue for its
accessibility, proximity to public trans-
portation and adequate space for a health
center, said spokeswoman Lupe Rodriguez.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte will not
provide surgical abortions at the site but
will issue contraceptives and perform sexu-
ally transmitted disease testing and treat-
ment.
Rodriguez said it was unfortunate South
San Francisco has such a vocal minority
group opposed to Planned Parenthood by
name alone but that the agencys focus there
is providing primary care. She said they at
least know that the city, City Council and
Planning Commission are behind Planned
Parenthood coming.
Weiler said there is no question his clients
are anti-abortion but that the heart of the
petition is a shoddy land use decision that
used a shortcut to approval.
We just want to have a fair day before the
City Council and eventually if the city
adopts [the clinic] and does it properly well
be good citizens and protest in front like
everywhere else, Weiler said.
A case management conference is sched-
uled for Jan. 24.

LAWSUIT
encourage attendees to step inside the many
boutiques, salons and hundreds of other
businesses downtown.
Evans hopes folks will come to down-
town for lunch, then enjoy the Wine Walk
and then even stay in the area for dinner
since the event starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 5
p.m.
There will be at least 53 varieties of wine
to sample, she said. She is also relying on
nearly 100 volunteers to help make it a suc-
cess.
Im touched by the numbers of volun-
teers we have, Evans said.
Merchants will set up their own tasting
rooms and serve some light bites as well.
There will be no stages for live music but
rather four bands of wandering minstrels
that B Street Music has organized.
After last years Wine Walk, The DSMA
hatched an idea to throw a two-day
SummerFest, which was held for the rst
time in June. The added event attracted thou-
sands of out-of-towners to the area.
The Wine Walk was traditionally held in
the middle of summer on a Friday night up
until last years, when it was held at the end
of September during the day.
Proceeds from the Wine Walk will benet
other community events throughout the
year including the Halloween Fun Fest and
the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
The 17th annual Wine Walk is this
Saturday, Oct. 5, from 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. For
more information go to dsma.org.
