More than 180 people, some
fresh from work, some without a
home and many with children,
arrive at Monte Diablo Avenue in
the early evening to wait for a
warm meal and a kind smile from
Samaritan House volunteers.
The charitable organization
based in San Mateo has had to
move its nightly dining services
from an indoor facility to tem-
porarily serving to-go meals at
the Martin Luther King Jr.
Community Center. It is now try-
ing to nd a nearby location that
will allow it to provide clients
with hospitable facilities.
The incredible attendance during
Tuesdays rst meal service at the
King Center was proof of the com-
munitys need for food assistance,
said Laura Bent, director of pro-
grams and services at Samaritan
House. People started lining up at
4:30 p.m. for its 5 p.m. opening;
within 20 minutes it ran out of its
180 premade chicken, rice and
vegetable dinners, Bent said.
Samaritan House provides more
than 2,800 free meals every
month to those in the community
with its Monday through Friday, 5
p.m. to 6 p.m. dining service, said
Marcy Spiker, communications
specialist at Samaritan House. For
more than 17 years, Samaritan
House was able to provide its
clients with indoor seating at the
Westside Church, Bent said.
Luckily, San Mateos Park and
Recreation Department stepped up
and temporarily placed Samaritan
House at the King Center when the
church made alternate plans for the
facility, Bent said. Samaritan
House is unable to use the indoor
portion of the King Center
because there are other events
scheduled during the week, Spiker
said. Although grateful to have
only moved across the street, the
lack of an indoor seating area is a
detriment to its clients, Bent said.
The seating area provided
clients with opportunities to
socialize; it was like a family, said
Mario Cousenes, a Samaritan
House cook whos been involved
with the organization for more
than 24 years.

Man charged with driving
BMW down 'Rocky' steps
PHILADELPHIA Police have
charged a 20-year-old man with reck-
less endangerment for allegedly driv-
ing his car down the Philadelphia
Museum of Art steps made famous by
the movie "Rocky. "
Police say 20-year-old Emin Faki
told them the brakes on the car failed
and he couldn't stop it. Police had the
BMWchecked out and led the crimi-
nal charge.
The Oct. 24 stunt was recorded by
onlookers who posted videos online.
KYW-TV reports that Faki surren-
dered Thursday. Online court records
show he was arraigned early Friday
and applied for a public defender,
though one hasn't been assigned.
Ajudge ordered Faki to appear for a
preliminary hearing Dec. 18 - and to
stay away from the museum in the
meantime.
Wedding rings
swapped for Chiefs tickets
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A longtime
Kansas City Chiefs fan says he
swapped six game tickets for a wed-
ding ring set advertised on Craigslist.
The buyer, 49-year-old Kansas City
resident Rusty Jones, said he first
learned of the ring offer last week
through a story in The Kansas City
Star. He contacted the seller, who
wanted to swap the rings and surprise
a loved one with tickets to the Dec. 1
game at Arrowhead Stadium, The
Kansas City Star reported Friday.
The tickets are a hot commodity as
the Chiefs have started the season 9-
0, and the December home game
against Denver could have playoff
implications.
A season ticket holder since 1993,
Jones said he and his girlfriend had
started talking about engagement
rings a month ago. He had tickets to
offer, though not the club-level seats
the seller was seeking. Nonetheless,
his offer worked: Four tickets to the
Broncos game and two tickets to the
Nov. 24 Chargers game, all in section
123 near the end zone.
Jones said the seller lost his contact
information and ended up reposting
the Craigslist ad. He reached out again
and made a deal.
The rings, which the newspaper said
were from the seller's previous mar-
riage, were appraised at $2,800.
The seller has asked to remain
anonymous to avoid spoiling the sur-
prise.
Cops: Pennsylvania man stole
backhoe, drove miles to Philly
PHILADELPHIA A Pennsylvania
man has been jailed on charges he
stole a $125,000 backhoe from a sub-
urban construction site then drove it
about 30 miles to a scrapyard in
Philadelphia where he intended to
sell it.
Police estimate it would have taken
33-year-old William Michael Pusey
about 2 1/2 hours to make the trip to
Philadelphia from Shainline
Excavating of Phoenixville, where
the backhoe was stolen Sunday.
State police say the backhoe's
owner was able to locate it because of
a global-positioning device in it.
Police say Pusey was arrested in
Philadelphia where he had heard
someone wanted to buy a backhoe.
Court records don't list an attorney
for Pusey, of Columbia, who has been
returned to the Lancaster County
Prison because he faces an outstand-
ing unrelated arrest warrant for theft
there.
Pet kangaroo gets loose,
causes stir in West Texas
MIDLAND, Texas Officers in
West Texas who answered calls about a
kangaroo hopping along a road
helped capture the pet and return the
animal to its owner.
Midland County Sheriff Gary
Painter says deputies thought dis-
patchers were crazy when calls came
in Tuesday night from people who
said they saw a kangaroo. Patrol car
video shows some of the chase along
a rural highway near Midland.
Deputies helped corner the 4-foot-
tall kangaroo as the owner offered a
treat to the animal, then grabbed the
pet.

T
he Federal Aid Act of 1956 author-
ized President Dwight D.
Eisenhower to start building the
most up-to-date and impressive road system
in the United States. Eisenhower had just
nished a war in Europe where he found out
rsthand that a country like Germany had
roads superior to any other country. Their
roads reached all parts of the nation and,
because of this, they could deliver supplies
in incredibly rapid time. This type of trans-
portation system is what allowed the North
to send troops at top speed to Pennsylvania
and succeeded in many battles against the
South. This, of course, was the railroad sys-
tem that the North had and the South didnt .
Eisenhower saw the same principle at work
here. We needed a better transportation sys-
tem to protect ourselves and move com-
modities faster.
The road system we had in the 1950s had
grown by hodge-podge. On the Peninsula,
El Camino Real began being used in the
1770s and wasnt hardly improved upon for
decades. Bridges were temporary and the
roads themselves were impassable in the
winter due to lack of a good surface. Few
roads connected the eastern parts of the
Peninsula to the western parts. Eventually,
in the 1920s, the Junipero Serra Boulevard
was started but it never was completed to
San Jose as originally planned. Skyline
Boulevard was completed section by section
in the 20s and wasnt completed until the
60s. The only good east-west roads that
existed were Highway 1, Sharp Park
Boulevard, Crystal Springs Road (in San
Bruno) and Half Moon Bay Road. Driving

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.

Driver strikes pedestrian
BELMONT A Belmont man
driving onto El Camino Real
struck a pedestrian Thursday
evening in Belmont, according to
police. The collision occurred
shortly before 5:30 p.m. on
Thursday at Ruth Avenue and El
Camino Real, according to Capt.
Patrick Halleran.
The pedestrian, a 49-year-old
Moss Beach woman, was cross-
ing Ruth Avenue northbound
when she was struck by a Honda
sedan turning right on to El
Camino from Ruth, Halleran said.
The pedestrian was taken to a
hospital with injuries not consid-
ered life-threatening injuries.
The driver, a 26-year-old
Belmont man, appears to have
stopped for the stop sign at Ruth
but failed to see the pedestrian,
Halleran said. The pedestrian was
wearing dark clothing and
thought the driver saw her.
Halleran said motorists should be
alert for pedestrians and bicy-
clists, and pedestrians should not
assume drivers see them.
Man arrested for
allegedly stealing package
SAN MATEO San Mateo
police arrested a San Bruno man
this week after he was allegedly
seen stealing a package from a
delivery truck. Officers were
called to the 1200 block of Dore
Avenue on Wednesday around 11
a.m. after a delivery truck driver
reported confronting a man who
was burglarizing his truck,
according to police.
Police searched the area for the
suspect, who had fled when con-
fronted, and located him on a
nearby street. The suspect
allegedly fled, but police took
him into custody after a brief
chase. The victim identified
Shane Milbourn, a 36-year-old
San Bruno resident, as the sus-
pect.
He was arrested on suspicion of
burglary, drug possession, drug
influence, committing a felony
while out on bail and violating
parole. With the holiday season
approaching, police are warning
residents to take steps to avoid
package theft. Those shipping
items should request a signature
confirming delivery and insure
valuable items.
Residents should encourage
neighbors to watch for deliveries
and agree to secure each other's
packages, or have packages
delivered to them at
work. Police say it's
also a good idea to
track packages online
and give special
instructions for where
to leave packages
where they will be
safer.
Fatal car crash
SANTA CLARA
The California
Highway Patrol
cleared all lanes of
Interstate 280 in
Santa Clara County
following a fatal crash
Sunday afternoon, a
California Highway
Patrol officer said.
The crash was first reported at
about 12:10 p.m. when a white
pickup truck struck the center
divide on southbound Highway
280 about a mile north of an off-
ramp to Foothill Expressway,
CHP Officer James Evans said.
As many as two other vehicles
were believed to have been
involved, he said. One person
was killed in the crash, Evans
said. No other injuries were
reported. One lane of Highway
280 was blocked for more than
two hours during a CHP investi-
gation, Evans said.
Armed woman shot and
killed by sherriff's deputies
SAN JOSE A woman armed
with a knife was shot and killed
after confronting sheriff' s
deputies in the driveway of a
home in unincorporated San Jose
early Saturday, a Santa Clara
County sheriff's spokesman said.
Deputies responded around 12:20
a.m. to a report of suspicious cir-
cumstances and a possible burgla-
ry at a triplex in the first block of
Cleveland Avenue, Sgt. Kurtis
Stenderup said.
The caller reported hearing
glass breaking and loud pounding
noises coming from somewhere
on the property, and later report-
ed hearing a female outside
yelling and banging on some-
thing, he said.
Three deputies arrived on the
scene and were confronted by a
woman armed with a knife in the
triplex's driveway, the sergeant
said. Stenderup said he did not
know whether she was pointing
the weapon at the deputies. The
deputies ordered the woman to
drop the knife, but she refused,
and at least one of the deputies
shot her, the sergeant said.
Emergency medical aid was
given to the woman, but she suc-
cumbed to her injuries and was
pronounced dead at the scene. No
deputies were injured in the inci-
dent. Stenderup said sheriff' s
homicide investigators were at
the scene overnight and through
this afternoon interviewing the
deputies involved and witnesses.
The Santa Clara County District
Attorney's Office is monitoring
the investigation. The deputies
involved in the shooting will be
placed on administrative leave,
following standard procedure in
an officer-involved death,
Stenderup said. He said investiga-
tors are working to identify the
woman and to determine whether
she lived at the triplex or knew
someone in the building. Anyone
who may have witnessed the inci-
dent is asked to call the sheriff' s
office at (408) 808-4431.

Relocating the Caltrain shuttles
from the east to west side of the
San Carlos station as proposed
during the Transit Village project
talks would add time to each com-
mute that could reduce the number
of trips and hamper punctuality,
according to transportation con-
sultants.
A July 2013 study by Hexagon
Transportation Consultants Inc.
of the existing operation and pro-
posed alternatives concluded that
rerouting the Redwood Shores
buses would increase the morning
travel times by nearly three-and-a-
half minutes and more than seven
minutes in the afternoon because
of congestion at the Holly Street
and Old County Road/El Camino
Real intersection. Another delay
would happen waiting to turn at a
future signalized intersection at El
Camino Real and Cherry Street
because of the long green time
given to El Camino Real trafc.
The study conceded the impacts
of future schedule adjustments are
hard to know but the goal is tim-
ing connections with Caltrain and
adding even a few minutes o the
shuttle travel time can have nega-
tive consequences for both the rid-
ership and the operation.
Caltrain already has minor shut-
tle schedule tweaks in the works
that are expected to increase travel
times which further adds to the
challenge, the study states.
SamTrans has told the city that
increased travel times and less ef-
ciency makes the shuttles less
competitive for grant funding,
according to a report by principal
planner Lisa Porras.
SamTrans spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann said efficiency is
important and that the three or
seven minutes have a compound-
ing effect but that they are things
that can be worked on.
Were taking our lead from the
city. San Carlos wouldnt be the
rst city to ask us to relocate shut-
tles to accommodate some other
community concerns. But we do
recognize there may be some serv-
ice impacts and its something we
need to consider carefully, she
said.
The Hexagon analysis is com-
ing to the citys Transportation
and Circulation Commission
Tuesday, Nov. 19 as part of the
ongoing discussion about possi-
ble relocation. The move has been
a key push by the Greater East San
Carlos neighborhood group which
represents many homeowners in
the community nearest the exist-
ing train station and proposed
Transit Village.
Dimitri Vandellos of GESC
called the Hexagon study awed
because it evaluated a shuttle route
traveling on Holly Street at all
times even though the afternoon
trips use a different path. If the
study looked at the actual congu-
ration, the estimated impacts to
time and trafc would be different,
he said.
Its an apples to oranges com-
parison, he said.
GESC President Ben Fuller also
criticized the study as skewed to
reach a predetermined conclusion.
The study was cherry picked to
get the results they wanted, he
said.
But while the study may present
one picture, the city brass appears
leaning in a different direction.
In October, the Planning
Commission recommended the
City Council ban parking shuttles
and taxis on Old County Road
adjacent to the Caltrain station.
As part of its 4-1 approval Nov.
12 of a scaled-down transit village
project, the City Council asked
city staff to continue evaluating
the possible relocation.
Although the Caltrain shuttles
may be moved, Ackemann said the
city may still need to consider
what to do about other operators
that also use the east side of Old
County Road.
The San Carlos Transportation
and Circulation Commission
meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 in
Council Chambers 600 Elm St.,

Police investigating
solo motorcycle crash
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
Police in South San Francisco are
investigating a solo motorcycle
crash on Friday morning that sent a
male to a hospital with major
injuries. The accident occurred
roughly at 6 a.m. in the area of
Hickey and Junipero Serra boule-
vards, police said. After the motor-
cyclist rode through the intersec-
tion, he struck a curb and was thrown
from the motorcycle into thick
bushes along the side of the road,
according to police. The driver was
transported to San Francisco General
Hospital to be treated for a large lac-
eration on his leg. He is expected to
survive, police said. Anyone who
may have seen the accident is asked
to call South San Francisco police at

Wet weather forecast to
hit the Bay Area this week
It's time for Bay Area residents to
dust off their umbrellas as wet weath-
er is expected to hit the region early
this week, a National Weather
Service forecaster said Sunday. A
Pacic storm system carrying "a fair
amount of moisture" is bearing down
on the Pacic Northwest and could
bring up to an inch of rain to North
Bay hills starting on Monday night,
forecaster Charles Bell said.
San Francisco, the East Bay, and
communities on the Peninsula could
get between a quarter-inch and a half-
inch of rainfall, with showers pre-
dicted to start early Tuesday morning
and continue through Wednesday,
Bell said. Communities in the South
Bay could get a quarter-inch or less,
according to the weather service.
Motorists are advised to use extra
precaution when driving if it does
rain, as the rst hour of rainfall is
likely to produce slick and hazardous
conditions on Bay Area roadways.
"So much oil has built up on the
roads with the lack of rain," Bell
said.
Drivers are advised to leave extra
time to commute and leave plenty of

The back-and-forth, nail-biting
race for the third slot on the
Burlingame City Council ended
Sunday with Russ Cohens
announcement he will not be seek-
ing a recount after falling eight
votes short of Ricardo Ortiz in the
nal count for the Nov. 5 election.
I want to congratulate Ricardo
Ortiz on his election to
Burlingames City Council,
Cohen said by email Sunday. I am
certain he will make a ne repre-
sentative for our city.
Cohen had toyed with the idea of
a recount after the vote total
swung within a 20-vote margin
after several updates to the tally
by the San
Mateo County
E l e c t i o n s
Ofce, with the
final update

We d n e s d a y.
I n c u mb e n t s
Mayor Ann
Keighran and
Co u n c i l ma n
Michael Brownrigg had convinc-
ing vote totals on Election Night
to win re-election.
Joining Keighran and
Brownrigg on the council will be
Ortiz, who already congratulated
both and also singled out Cohen
for a well-run campaign that
focused on the issues. He also con-
gratulated the
other candidates
for the courage
to run, he said
by email.
My rst pri-
ority will be to
reach out to the
rest of the coun-
cil to share the
many concerns
that I heard on the campaign
trail, Ortiz said. I hope to work
closely with all of them to nd
ways to address them.
Recounts, while not unheard of,
are usually rare in this county.
They are also expensive. Acandi-
date asking for a recount is
charged $956 per recount board
per day. Before a recount com-
mences, the person requesting the
recount will determine how many
recount boards are to perform the
task each day, what ballots and
precincts are to be recounted and if
it is by hand, manual, or machine,
electronic. The cost to recount by
machine is $300 per hour. There
may also be administrative costs
added for preparing a recount. A
manual recount may last ve days
or more if a full recount is request-
ed, according to San Mateo
County Elections Manager David
Tom.
On Election Night, Ortiz had
1,644 votes and Cohen had 1,634
votes, respectively. The vote then
ipped when numbers were report-
ed Nov. 8 and Cohen led by 17
votes. On Nov. 12, the count
revealed the vote difference had
narrowed, with Cohen still on top.
Cohen took 1,995 and Ortiz took
1,992 votes, according to
Tuesdays count. Now, according
to the nal count released Nov.
13, Ortiz has 2,048 votes, while
Cohen has 2,040 votes. Both
have 15.5 percent of the vote.
The Elections Ofce will begin
its 1 percent manual tally today in
anticipation of certifying the
results in early December. The
tally conrms that the election
was properly conducted. More

SAN FRANCISCO Thousands
of people are expected to attend
"The Concert For Kids" on Tuesday
night in San Francisco, a fundrais-
er that will benet UCSF Benioff
Children's Hospital and Children's
Hospital & Research Center
Oakland. The fourth annual event,
which is being presented by the
Salesforce.com Foundation in
conjunction with their Dreamforce
conference and gala, is set to take
place at AT&T Park, with festivi-
ties including live music, cock-
tails and special presentations.
Headliners for this year's event
include Grammy-award winning
rockers Green Day, Rock N' Roll
Hall of Famers Blondie and local
rapper MC Hammer.
The concert is an important part
of the hospitals' efforts to provide
a host of programs to sick children
and their families from all over the
world. Previous concerts have
raised $10 million, and this year's
event has already garnered $6 mil-
lion in sponsorships, according
to Juliana Bunim, Senior Public
Information Representative at
UCSF. In addition to raising funds
for current programming, money
generated from the concert will
also go toward building a new state
of the art home for UCSF Benioff
Children's Hospital at the univer-
sity's Mission Bay campus, slated
to open February 1, 2015.
"This is a dream come true to
know that we are going to have a
six story building completely ded-
icated to children, and I think that
it's a building that's going to suit
the incredible care that's given
here," said Kim Scurr, executive
director of UCSF Benioff
Children's Hospital.
In addition to treating children
with a variety of illnesses, and
preparing them for their proce-
dures, the hospital also strives to
provide a high level of comfort for
them and their families while stay-
ing there; at the new campus,
which has been in the works for
more than a decade, the staff are
planning on being able to offer
even more specialized care.
"You can cure a child of their ill-
ness-but you can also rob them of
their childhood. Our Child Life
Specialists normalize the hospital
experience for kids, they normal-
ize what is an abnormal environ-
ment; so kids go to school here,
there's a play room, and we have an
art and music therapy program that
helps kids to express how they feel
about having an illness in a way
that they might not be able to ver-
bally articulate," said Scurr.
"That's a big part of us moving
into the new building, because we
will have more space, we'll also be
able to offer more programs like
that. We're a family-centered care
environment-we consider the
entire family to be our patients-
and there will be opportunities to
work with them outside in three
beautiful gardens, and children
who are undergoing rehabilitation
services will be able to do some of
their exercises outside."
The new children's hospital will
have 183 beds, and will be part of
a 289 bed integrated complex for
children, women and cancer
patients.
"We're really excited about the
new way of doing our business, a
way that makes the patients' expe-
rience much more empowered,"
said Scurr. "And that also makes it
a fantastic place to work."
The Concert for UCSF Benioff

on Tuesday, November 19, at

STATE 7
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES California cannot account
for 174,000 tons of lead and other hazardous
materials shipped for disposal in the last ve
years, but state regulators say public health is
not threatened, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The Los Angeles Times reported that a state
database shows the toxic chemicals and cancer-
causing metals were shipped but gives no indi-
cation that they arrived at their intended destina-
tions many of which are out of state.
California ofcials told the newspaper they
are condent that the missing shipments found
their way to disposal sites but acknowledge
they cant be sure.
We dont know, said Debbie Raphael, direc-
tor of the state Department of Toxic Substances
Control, which has a $189-million budget and
about 900 employees. Its a question mark.
Raphael and other ofcials told the Times
they are concerned by gaps in the tracking sys-
tem. However, they insisted they would know
through public complaints or reports from local
ofcials if a signicant amount of toxic waste
had been dumped illegally.
I do not believe that Californians are at
risk, Raphael said.
The Times said the lost loads include more
than 20,000 tons of lead, 520 tons of the car-
cinogen benzene and 355 tons of methyl ethyl
ketone, a ammable solvent.
In most cases, no one investigates what hap-
pened to the missing waste.
Californias rules on handling hazardous
waste are among the strictest in the nation.
From dry cleaners to heavy manufacturers, busi-
nesses that generate waste must report every
load they ship. Disposal and treatment facilities
must record the wastes safe arrival. And the
state agency is required to track every ton to
make sure it isnt dumped illegally along the
way.
But the newspaper reported there are holes in
the departments database and they lose track of
large quantities of toxic chemicals and cancer-
causing metals. Regulators make only limited
use of what information is available, and the
system does not automatically ag potential
problems, the Times found.
It can be difcult to link illnesses to hazardous waste
because those who have been exposed might not
know it. Also, symptoms can take years to develop
and can be ascribed to other causes.
But even a small amount of errant waste can
create a very big public health impact, said W.
Bowman Cutter, an associate professor in the
environmental analysis program at Pomona
College, who has studied the states hazardous
waste system.

LOS ANGELES Andy Warhols
artwork has always grabbed atten-
tion and sparked discussion, but
one of his portraits of Farrah
Fawcett is about to receive scrutiny
of a different kind in a Los Angeles
courtroom.
The case centers on a relatively
simple question: does one of
Warhols depictions of Fawcett
belong to her longtime lover,
Ryan ONeal, or should it join its
twin at her alma mater, the
University of Texas at Austin?
To decide the case, jurors will
hear testimony and see evidence
focused on Warhol and ONeals
friendship, his relationship with
Fawcett and the actress nal wish-
es. The panel will likely get
insight into Warhols creation of
the Fawcett image, which was
based on a Polaroid photo the artist
took of the Charlies Angels star
in 1980.
The image, one of the main
attractions in a 2011 exhibit on
portraiture at UTs Blanton
Museum of Art, features an unsmil-
ing Fawcett looking out from the
canvas. Warhol painted her lips red
and her eyes green in an otherwise
uncolored image.
Jury selection in the trial is
expected to begin this week, with
ONeal and possibly Fawcetts
Charlies Angels co-star Jaclyn
Smith taking the witness stand.
The case resumes on Wednesday,
when lawyers will argue what evi-
dence will be admitted during the
trial, which is expected to take two
weeks.
Fawcett decreed in her will that
all her artwork go to the school,
yet ONeal insists that Warhol gave
him a copy of the portrait as a gift
and it belongs to him.
Warhols art continues to garner
attention and high prices. His
painting of the immediate after-
math of a car crash sold for $105
million at auction last week,
although the value of his Fawcett
portrait is at dispute in the case.
Estimates range from $600,000 to
more than $10 million, according
to lings in the case.
University of Texas lawyers
contend ONeal improperly
removed the portrait from
Fawcetts condominium after her
2009 death. The Oscar-nominated
actor had the artwork moved there
to prevent it from being damaged
by the salty air at his beachside
home and had the right to retrieve
it, his lawyers argue.
ONeal has countersued the uni-
versity, seeking the return of a
cloth napkin that Warhol drew
hearts on and gave as a gift to
Fawcett and the actor.
It is a precious memento of his
life with Ms. Fawcett, the love of
his life, with whom he was roman-
tically involved for 30 years up
until the time of her death,
ONeals lawyers wrote in a trial
brief. Because ONeals Warhol
portrait is an heirloom, he never
intends to, nor will sell it.
The university says the case is
about honoring Fawcetts nal wish-
es.
We simply want to honor and
respect the charitable intent and
wishes of Farrah Fawcett, UTs
Vice Chancellor for External
Relations Randa S. Safady wrote in
a statement. It is indisputable that
in Ms. Fawcetts living trust, she
named the University of Texas at
Austin as the sole beneciary of all
of her works of art, including art-
work she created and all objects of
art that she owned, for charitable
purposes.
Court ghts over assets frequent-
ly occur and are likely to increase
as people gain greater understand-
ing of their rights in estate cases,
said Bradford Cohen, an estate and
tax attorney in Venable LLCs Los
Angeles ofce.
What comes up a lot in the
estate area is that its not clear what
the intentions of the deceased were
and what the deceased owned,
Cohen said. These things get
slugged out a lot in litigation.
Despite Fawcetts notoriety and
interest in her and ONeals rela-
tionship, Cohen said the case real-
ly centers on a basic question,
What did she own and where did
she want it to go to?

I n s u r a n c e S e r v i c e s
By Don Babwin
CHICAGO Dozens of torna-
does and intense thunderstorms
swept across the Midwest on
Sunday, causing extensive dam-
age in several central Illinois
communities, killing at least
three people and prompting offi-
cials at Chicagos Soldier Field
to evacuate the stands and delay
the Bears game.
The whole neighborhoods
gone. The wall of my fireplace
is all that is left of my house,
said Michael Perdun, speaking
by cellphone from the hard-hit
town of Washington, where he
said his neighborhood was
wiped out in a matter of sec-
onds.
I stepped outside and I heard
it coming. My daughter was
already in the basement, so I ran
downstairs and grabbed her,
crouched in the laundry room
and all of a sudden I could see
daylight up the stairway and my
house was gone.
An elderly man and his sister
were killed when a tornado hit
their home around noon in the
rural community of New
Minden, said Mark Styninger,
the coroner of Washi ngt on
County in southern Illinois. A
third person died in Washington,
said Melanie Arnold of the
Illinois Emergency Management
Agency. She did not provide
details.
By mid-afternoon, with com-
munications difficult and many
roads impassable, it remained
unclear how many people were
killed or hurt by the string of
tornadoes. In a news release, the
Illinois National Guard said it
had dispatched 10 firefighters
and three vehicles to
Washington to assist with
immediate search and recovery
operations.
I went over there immediately
after the tornado, walking
t hrough t he nei ghborhoods,
and I couldnt even tell what
street I was on, Washi ngt on
Alderman Tyler Gee told WLS-
TV.
Just completely flattened
some of the neighborhoods here
in town, hundreds of homes.
Steve Brewer, chief operating
officer at Methodist Medical
Center of Illinois in Peoria, said
14 people had come to the hos-
pital seeking treatment for
minor injuries, while another
Washington area hospital had
received about 15 patients.
He said doctors and other med-
ical professionals were setting
up a temporary emergency care
center to treat the injured before
transporting them to hospitals,
while others were dispatched to
search through the rubble for
survivors.

WASHINGTON Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand has secured public sup-
port from nearly half the Senate, but
not enough votes, for her proposal
to give victims of rape and sexual
assault in the military an independ-
ent route outside the chain of com-
mand for prosecuting attackers.
Gillibrands solution for a prob-
lem the military calls an epidemic
appears to have stalled in the face
of united opposition from the
Pentagons top
echelon and its
allies in
C o n g r e s s ,
including two
female senators
who are former
prosecutors.
Opponents of
the proposal by
Gillibrand, D-
N.Y., insist that
commanders, not an outside mili-
tary lawyer, must be accountable for
meting out justice.
Even so, major changes are com-
ing for a decades-old military sys-
tem just a few months after several
high-prole cases infuriated
Republicans and Democrats in a
rapid chain of events by
Washington standards.
Sexual assault in the military is
not new, but it has been allowed to
fester, Gillibrand said in a recent
Senate speech.
The Senate this week is set to
consider an annual defense policy
bill that would strip commanders of
their ability to overturn jury con-
victions, require dishonorable dis-
charge or dismissal for any individual
convicted of sexual assault and estab-
lish a civilian review when a decision
is made not to prosecute a case.
The bill would provide a special
counsel for victims and eliminate
the statute of limitations.
Those changes in military law are
backed by members of the Senate
Armed Services Committee. But
overshadowing the revisions is the
testy, intense ght over
Gillibrands proposal to strip com-
manders of their authority to prose-
cute cases of sexual assault. She
wants to hand responsibility to
seasoned military lawyers outside
the chain of command.
Her solution has divided the
Senate, splitting Republicans and
Democrats, men and women, even
former attorneys general, into
unusual coalitions. The lobbying
has been erce, with dueling data,
testimonials and news conferences
with victims. Opponents invited
Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Loretta
Reynolds to the closed-door
Republican caucus last week.

OPINION 9
Unneeded vitriol
Editor,
I would suggest letter writer Don Hill
(Letters criticizing Sue Lempert in
the Nov. 15 edition of the Daily
Journal) and columnist Sue Lempert
(Dont make that call in the Oct. 28
edition of the Daily Journal) criticiz-
ing U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and comparing
him to Sen. Joe McCarthy take off
their blind blinkers and look around
them.
Why oh why would they be so
shocked when we have a president who
has lied to us repeatedly, betrayed us
and caused such disruption and anxiety
for the peoples of America; together
with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. At
least Ted Cruz told the truth and stood
up for the American people.
Did you stay awake to listen to all of
his speech or did you just interpret
what you wanted to? The venom, Mr.
Hill and Ms. Lempert is emitting from
you both. Yes, lets hope the United
States will wake up and real soon and
not listen to the vitriol spewing from
ignorant people.

Editor,
Sue Lemperts column regarding the
Board of Supervisors seat that will be
open in 2016 ( Lets celebrate
Election Day in the Nov. 4 edition of

years away.
Yet, Helen Fisicaro of Colma should
be given serious consideration. Helen
has been a political and community
leader for many years. Helen is dedicat-
ed, smart, knows how to get things
done and has a big heart. I wont be
able to vote, but I would gladly con-
tribute modest donations and major

The retirement party
Editor,
Attending a retirement party is easy.
One need not be concerned about how
the party is funded just put on a
smile and show up. Writing about the
party can be difcult. How can it sound
important and relevant to non-atten-
dees? For example, a column appear-
ing in the Nov. 11 edition of the Daily
Journal written by Sue Lempert,
Retirement party for Susan Loftus,
begins by telling readers that the gov-
ernment ofcials who attended the
party told one another how great they
looked. Their names are listed but it is
doubtful that many readers, especially
those with low incomes, have ever
met the attendees and probably will
not encounter them in the future. Ms.
Lempert also says the party shows
what is best about the city of San
Mateo. Readers may wonder how a
retirement party can be more appealing
than the citys shopping areas, restau-
rants, parks and recreation facilities.
Near the end of the column, readers
are told that Larry Patterson is a per-
fect interim city manager because he
has a reputation for getting things
done. It would be nice to have some
specics what was achieved, with
how much effort, and with what type
of resources? Perhaps, readers can give
Ms. Lempert some tips on improving
her reporting skills.

Street repairs
Editor,
For 15 years, those who live on
Madison Avenue in San Mateo, have
been begging the city authorities to
resurface our street of .12 mile, at no
avail. On Nov. 12, while walking my
regular exercise route along 17th
Avenue, I was surprised to notice that
the part of 17th Avenue between Leslie
Street and the railroad was undergoing
resurfacing.
This part of 17th Avenue is hardly
traveled at any time of the day, and had
the road in fairly good conditions. I
wonder now, why was the resurfacing
needed, how much did it cost, would it
not be better to use resources on
streets that do need repair, including
Madison Avenue?

Letters to the editor
By Jim Hartnett
T
he results are nally in. The
ofcial
election
reporting as to the
percentage of
votes received by
each candidate in
city council elec-
tions in San Mateo
County leaves an
incorrect impres-
sion of the votes
the winners received. Since voters may
cast multiple votes which somehow get
cumulated in vote totals, and the races
are at large rather than head to head, the
election reporting percentages are not
meaningful.
For example, in Redwood City, the
top vote-getter Jeff Gee received 4,865
votes but was reported as 24.40 percent
that percentage is meaningless
because it is not linked to how many
people actually voted as compared to
how many votes were cast. After all,
the voters in Redwood City each had up
to three votes to cast for City Council
and of course could only cast one per
candidate.
The Redwood City winners, Gee,
Diane Howard and John Seybert, clear-
ly dominated the eld nishing with
4,865, 4,403 and 3,730 votes respec-
tively. Perhaps the most meaningful
percentage is the difference in votes
between candidates who won and those
who did not. The top nisher Gee
received about 90 percent more votes
than Corrin Rankin, who nished
fourth. In other words, to catch Gee,
Rankin would have had to receive at
least 90 percent more votes that she
did. To match John Seybert (who in
effect came in rst for the third avail-
able seat), Rankin would have had to
garner 46 percent more votes than she
was able to. James Lee Hahn, who n-
ished second from the bottom, trailed
behind percentage wise even more dra-
matically to reach Gee or Seybert,
Hahn would have had to nd approxi-
mately 115 percent or 65 percent more
votes respectively than he was able to
eke out.
As we know from the Burlingame
race where the margin between winning
and losing currently is eight votes
before a possible recount, each vote is
very important. All Redwood City can-
didates raised important community
issues. Each was able to get their mes-
sages out to the voters in a variety of
meaningful ways. The voters clearly
and resoundingly supported Gee,
Howard and Seybert in Redwood City.
Jim Hartnett is the former mayor of
Redwood City.

Election post mortems
I
n Burlingame, every vote for city council counts. Russ
Cohen announced Sunday he would not seek a recount
and ceded the win to Ricardo Ortiz. It has been a see-saw
since Election Day.
In San Mateo, many were surprised that Joshua Hugg came
in fourth (Two incumbents David Lim and Robert Ross came
in rst and second.) Hugg lost to Joe Goethals who ran a
more vigorous campaign.
Goethals grew up in San
Mateo, attended St.
Matthews, and coached and
played in local sports. He
had a loyal and extensive
following. It also helped
that he is a close friend of
Mayor Lim and works in the
same ofce for the
Alameda County District
Attorneys Ofce. Recently,
Lim was assigned to the
Santa Clara County District
Attorneys Ofce, but is now
back in Alameda. Its been a
long time since two such
close friends served together
on the council. It hasnt hap-
pened since the days of Jane Baker and Donna Richardson.
They always voted together on all issues. It will be interest-
ing to see if Goethals and Lim do the same.

The big question is whether Hugg will run again in two
years when Jack Matthews is termed out. His supporters in
the recent race are hoping he will. Meanwhile, there are oth-
ers being talked about as possible 2015 candidates. They
include Park and Recreation commissioners Clifford
Robbins, Lindsay Held and Papia Benerjee Gambelin; Public
Works Commissioner Anna Kuhre; Planning Commissioner
Charles Drechsler; Baywood Homeowners Association
President Diane Papan; former Parks and Recreation commis-
sioner Ellen Mallory Ulrich who will retire from the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District in December;
and Karen Schmidt who came in fth in this election.
Rumors abound including that one of the above is already a
favorite of several councilmembers and the San Mateo
County political establishment. But two years is a long time
away to crown an heir apparent.
***
Much of the post mortem discussion is on the failure of
Measure P, the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District bond issue. Usually, the district passes its measures.
But this year it didnt happen because many San Mateo par-
ents felt out of the loop. It didnt help that the board didnt
reect and respond to concerns in the community before the
ballot measure was nalized. It didnt help that one board
member, Ellen Mallory Ulrich, voted against the measure and
wrote the ballot statement against it. That was heads-up in
itself that something was wrong. What started out as just a
Foster City issue the need to build another K-5 school in
and paid for by Foster City residents morphed into a dis-
trictwide bond measure which included reopening Knolls
Elementary and rebuilding Bowditch Middle schools, when
land could not be found for a new K-5 school in Foster City.
Something got lost in the process sufcient San Mateo
involvement and buy-in. Today, both supporters and oppo-
nents are sad that this had to happen. But with the help of
two new board members, perhaps the district will do its
political homework before coming to the taxpayers again.
***
In the meantime, the district has to face the issue of over-
crowding in Foster Citys three elementary schools.
Superintendent Cynthia Simms has proposed several ways to
address this districtwide: increase class size; operate morning
and afternoon kindergartens; adjust school boundaries; and
assign students to schools which have extra space. Some of
this will seem punitive but some adjustments have to be
made to compensate for no new facilities.
There will be many other options to consider. Heres my
list:
1). To increase capacity at overcrowded schools introduce a
four track year round schedule. The district already operates
year-round schools but single track. In a four-track system,
only three tracks attend school at one time.
2). Recongure College Park (Turnbull) as a neighborhood
English immersion school. The neighborhood children need
the most help. Provide them with extra resources, longer
school days, small class sizes, tutorial assistance during and
after school and all-day kindergarten. College Park is located
in North Central San Mateo with an overwhelming Hispanic
student body. But it hosts a Mandarin immersion program
which only a few neighborhood children attend. Most of the
students are bused in from Foster City.
3). Meanwhile, when Knolls is reopened, transfer the
Mandarin immersion program there. Some of these options
seem more attractive than increased class size or changing
school boundaries. Theres nothing inherently wrong with
morning and afternoon kindergarten except that todays stu-
dents need a full day of kindergarten just as they receive in
several other states.

BUSINESS 10

WASHINGTON Throughout
President Barack Obamas rst four
years in ofce, he prided himself
on his ability to bounce back when
much of Washington thought his
presidency was in peril.
But the political challenge posed
by Obamas disastrous health care
rollout is far greater than those he
overcame during the nasty debt
ceiling ght with Republicans, his
stumbling campaign debate in
2012 or even the painful recession.
This time, the president is ght-
ing to regain trust and credibility
with the American people. Those
are the same qualities that helped
keep him aoat during those earlier
battles.
Its legitimate for them to
expect me to have to win back some
credibility on this health care law
in particular and on a whole range
of these issues in general, Obama
said during a news conference last
week that turned into an extensive
mea culpa for the health care fail-
ures consuming the White House.
As bad as things are for Obama,
they may be worse for many mem-
bers of Congress.
Democrats in both the House and
Senate worry the health care prob-
lems could dim their re-election
chances next year. Republicans are
saddled with historically low
approval ratings and an internal
debate over the direction of their
party, though the heath law woes
have proved a lifeline following
the GOPs much-criticized han-
dling of the government shutdown.
With Republicans sensing an
opportunity in Obamas free fall,
the president is sure to face a strug-
gle in getting their support, particu-
larly in the House, for White House
priorities such as an immigration
overhaul or broad budget deal.
Without success on other fronts
to counteract the health care fail-
ures, Obama will have fewer chances
to change the publics view that
Washington, and the president him-
self, are ineffective.
We appear to be stuck, whatever
direction we look, William
Galston, a senior fellow at the
Brookings Institution, said about
Washingtons political landscape.
Obamas health care calamity
began with the ood of computer
problems that crippled
HealthCare.gov, the website that had
been billed as a quick and easy way
for people to purchase insurance.
Those troubles were compounded
when at least 4.2 million people
started receiving cancellation let-
ters from their insurance companies
despite Obamas repeated assur-
ances that anyone who liked his or
her insurance plan could keep it.
The widespread problems have
spurred questions about the nor-
mally cool and condent presi-
dents management style and his
competence.
Why was the White House so
poorly prepared for the long-antic-
ipated rollout of Obamas major
legislative achievement? Why did
the president seem personally
unaware of the extent the problems
until they became publicly known?
For the public, those failures are
changing how they view the president.
Many polls now show that
Americans say Obama isnt honest
or trustworthy, or a strong leader.
For example, Quinnipiac
Universitys poll of registered vot-
ers conducted this month found just
44 percent thought Obama was
honest and trustworthy, down 10
points since earlier this fall. Only
48 percent felt he has strong lead-
ership qualities, a low point in his
presidency.
Obama health care woes become credibility fight

CARMICHAEL The doctor isnt in, but
he can still see you now.
Remote presence robots are allowing
physicians to beam themselves into hos-
pitals to diagnose patients and offer medical
advice during emergencies.
A growing number of hospitals in
California and other states are using telep-
resence robots to expand access to medical
specialists, especially in rural areas where
theres a shortage of doctors.
These mobile video-conferencing
machines move on wheels and typically
stand about 5 feet, with a large screen that
projects a doctors face. They feature cam-
eras, microphones and speakers that allow
physicians and patients to see and talk to
each other.
Dignity Health, which runs Arizona,
California and Nevada hospitals, began
using the telemedicine machines ve years
ago to diagnose patients suspected of suffer-
ing strokes when every minute is crucial
to prevent serious brain damage.
The San Francisco-based health care
provider now uses the telemedicine robots
in emergency rooms and intensive-care
units at about 20 California hospitals, giv-
ing them access to specialists in areas such
as neurology, cardiology, neonatology,
pediatrics and mental health.
Regardless of where the patient is locat-
ed, we can be at their bedside in several min-
utes, said Dr. Alan Shatzel, medical director
of the Mercy Telehealth Network. Literally,
we compress time and space with this tech-
nology. No longer does distance affect a per-
sons ability to access the best care possi-
ble.
Dignity Health is one of several hospital
chains that recently began using RP-VITA,
which was jointly developed by InTouch
Health and iRobot Corp. Its approved for
hospital use by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Hospitals are now using this type of
technology in order to leverage the special-
ists that they have even better and more ef-
ciently, said Dr. Yulun Wang, CEO of Santa
Barbara-based InTouch Health.
Nearly 1,000 hospitals in the U.S. and
abroad have installed InTouch telemedicine
devices, including about 50 RP-VITArobots
launched in May, according to company
ofcials. The company rents out the RP-
VITAfor $5,000 per month.
When a doctor is needed at a remote hos-
pital location, he can log into the RP-VITA
on-site by using a computer, laptop or iPad.
The robot has an auto-drive function that
allows it to navigate its way to the patients
room, using sensors to avoid bumping into
things or people.
Once inside the hospital room, the doctor
can see, hear and speak to the patient, and
have access to clinical data and medical
images. The physician cant touch the
patient, but there is always a nurse or med-
ical assistant on-site to assist.
On a recent morning, Dr. Asad Chaudhary,
a stroke specialist at Dignity Health,
beamed into a robot at the neuro-intensive
care unit at Mercy San Juan Medical Center
in Carmichael to evaluate Linda Frisk, a
patient who recently had a stroke.
With his face projected on the robot
screen, Chaudhary asked Frisk to smile,
open and close her eyes, make a st and lift
her arms and legs common prompts to
test a patients neurological functioning.
If you develop any weakness, any numb-
ness, any problem with your speech or any-
thing else, let us know right away,
Chaudhary told Frisk before the robot turned
around and left the room.
Its just like being with the patient in the
room, Chaudhary said. Of course, nothing
can replace seeing these patients in person,
but its the next best thing.

SAN FRANCISCO Software
engineers wearing jeans and i p
ops test the latest smartphone
apps. Walls and windows double
as whiteboards where ideas are jot-
ted down. And a mini basketball
net is in the center of it all.
At rst glance, this workplace
resembles any Silicon Valley
startup. Theres just one excep-
tion: Targets trademark red bulls-
eye at the entrance.
Target, Kohls and home-shop-
ping network QVC are among a
half dozen retailers opening tech-
nology test labs in the San
Francisco area to do things like
improve their websites and create
mobile shopping apps. Theyre
setting up shop in modern spaces
and competing for top Silicon
Valley talent to replicate the cre-
ativity, culture and nimbleness of
online startups.
The goal is to stay on top of
tech trends and better compete
with online rivals like
Amazon.com that attract shoppers
with convenient ordering and
cheap prices. The labs are a shift
for retailers, which like many
older industries, have been slow to
adapt to rapidly changing technol-
ogy. But retailers say the labs are
essential to satisfy shoppers who
more often are buying on their
PCs, tablets and smartphones.
Consumers expect immediate
gratication, says Lori Schafer,
executive adviser at SAS Institute,
which creates software for retail-
ers. As a result, she says retailers
need to develop technology in
weeks, instead of months or years.
Retailers are playing catch-up
after several years of watching
shoppers gradually move from
physical stores to the Web.
Online sales have grown from 5.9
percent of the $2.64 trillion in
total retail sales in 2009 to 7.6
percent of the $3.1 trillion in rev-
enue last year, according to
Forrester Research.
The explosion of people using
smartphones to shop has pushed
stores to move faster. U.S. con-
sumers are now spending more
than half of their time on retailers
websites using their smartphones
and tablets, according to the
National Retail Federation, a
retail trade group.
Retailers knew they needed to
gure out how to create online and
mobile technology to please their
shoppers. So they began looking
to Silicon Valley, where they
hoped to tap the talent, culture and
creativity that come from tech
giants like Facebook and Apple.
Wal-Mart, the worlds largest
retailer, was the rst to open a tech
lab in Silicon Valley. Since open-
ing Wal-MartLabs in San Bruno in
2011, the company has rolled out
a number of technologies that it
developed there.
One of the biggest projects?
Wal-Mart rebuilt its websites
search engine, which launched in
2012. It can guess a customers
intent when he or she types a term
rather than just returning specic
search results. A search for
denim yields results for jeans
instead of products with denim,
for example.
Wal-Marts mobile app also has
been a big focus at Wal-MartLabs,
which has 1,200 workers and all
the trappings of a Silicon Valley
startup including treadmill desks
and ping pong tables. For
instance, Wal-MartLabs developed
technology that enables Wal-
Marts mobile app to help guide
shoppers to products. It also
developed technology that
enables the mobile app to track
customers spending based on a
predetermined budget.

Perfect Paw: Panthers roll to 10-0
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The day before Saturdays 86th annual
Little Big Game, San Mateo football coach
Jeff Scheller said one of his teams goals was
to force Burlingame to play four quarters of
football.
The Bearcats limited the potent Panther
offense to just a pair of rst-half touchdowns.
Scheller also said Friday that his teams
problems have come mostly in the second
half.
And thats when things fell apart for the
Bearcats Saturday.
After taking a 14-0 at halftime, Burlingame
exploded for 28 third-quarter point and didnt
let up in a 48-0 beating of the Bearcats in San
Mateo Saturday afternoon.
The win not only gives Burlingame its 50th
win in the annual series Burlingame leads
50-32-4 but it also capped a perfect 10-0 (5-
0 PAL Ocean) season for the Panthers, who
should be the No. 1 seed in the Central Coast
Section Division III tournament.
We came out at (in the rst half), said
Burlingame fullback Keone Keahi, who was
named the games Most Valuable Player after
combining for 101 yards of offense and three
touchdowns.
To be honest, we came in big headed.
The one thing that wasnt flat for the
Panthers was their defense. While the
Burlingame offense get most of the accolades,
the defensive unit has been equally dominant.
Saturday, it held San Mateo (2-3, 4-6) to just
119 yards of offense, 65 of which came on the
Bearcats nal drive of the game against the
Panthers second-string defense.
[The defense has] been the backbone of
this team all season, said Burlingame coach
John Philipopoulos.
Said Keahi: Our defense has been shut-
down all year. If we had the same defense this
year we had last year, I dont know where we
would be. I know we wouldnt be undefeat-
ed.
Saturdays shutout was the fth of the sea-
son and second in three weeks. That is came
against the Panthers rival made it that much
more special. The shutout was in jeopardy,
however, as San Mateo finally put some
offense together on its nal drive of the game,
going 65 yards from its on 19 to the
Burlingame 15.

NEW ORLEANS Ahmad Brooks burst
into the backeld and leveled Drew Brees,
forcing a lost fumble that he thought would
seal a San Francisco victory.
Then he noticed the dreaded yellow ag
landing near the spot of his big hit.
He knew the call was on him. Soon after, the
defending NFC champion 49ers let a second
straight game slip away.
The New Orleans Saints capitalized on
Brooks penalty with a tying 42-yard eld
goal by Garrett Hartley, then won 23-20 on a
31-yard Hartley kick as time expired on
Sunday.
Brooks was agged for hitting Brees in the
head and neck on a violent sack that left Brees
with blood on his chin. There was 3:12 left
and the 49ers led 20-17.
I was like, OK, here we go again, Brooks
said of his animated reaction to the penalty. It
was very frustrating. The game could have
gone a totally different direction that what it
went. I was just mad because that was a big
play in the game. We lost, and thats probably
the reason why.
That wasnt the only play the 49ers regret-
ted after allowing to the Saints to kick eld
goals on their last three possessions.
Following Hartleys 21-yard eld goal that cut
New Orleans decit to 20-17 with 7:50 left,
wide-open San Francisco running back Frank
Gore dropped a pass from Colin Kaepernick
with a blocker in front of him and only one
Saints defender on his side of the eld.
Gore was thinking 79-yard touchdown. His
miscue turned it into a third down, and the
49ers punted.
I have to make that play, Gore said. Im
a better player than that. If I had made that
play, we would have won the game.
A week after losing 10-9 to Carolina, San
Francisco struggled again on offense, nish-
ing with 196 yards. Gore picked up 48 yards
on 13 carries. Kaepernick went 17 of 31 and

Even if they dont know it, anyone who has
seen Menlo girls volleyball this season knows
Melissa Cairo.
With the Knights (27-5) appearing in their
18th straight postseason, Cairo has been the
catalyst of a squad looking to join a long lega-
cy of Menlo champions. The program has cap-
tured seven Central Coast Section crowns all
time. And it has been Cairos voice heard
resounding from the back row all season long
as the Knights attempt to claim their rst title
since 2008.
Cairo is one of a trio of Menlo fourth-year
seniors, along with outside hitters Maddie
Huber and Maddy Frappier. Yet the group has
never advanced past the CCS semis. After
cruising past Notre
Dame Belmont,
Saturday 25-17, 25-
17, 25-12 the
Knights will get anoth-
er crack at it, as top-
seed Menlo advances
to Wednesdays
Division IV semifinal against No. 4-seed
Harker at Notre Dame-Belmont. Game time is
scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
This team is denitely the best team weve
had (since Ive been here), I think, Cairo said.
Having all these seniors, Ive never played on
a team with so many older girls.
There are eight seniors in the Menlo mix,
three of whom are bound for the Ivy League
next year. Cairo, who will be attending
Brown, has the Knights ring like a well-oiled
machine. Her four fellow senior starters had
fairly equal kill distribution, Saturday. Middle
blocker Morgan Dressel (Dartmouth) scored a
match-high 12 kills, while Huber (Princeton),
Frappier, and Lida Vandermeer had nine kills
apiece. Cairo totaled 14 digs with a 2.34 pass-
ing rating.
Menlo rst-year head coach Steve Cavella
had nothing but praise for his senior libero.
Melissa is a great passer, a great defender,
also just a really ery and emotional player,
and I think the girls respond to her positive
energy, Cavella said. Shes super strong,
shes been a leader throughout the year, and I
think that shes someone who makes a big dif-
ference on this team.
The young Notre Dame Belmont team was
battling Menlo at net early on. The Tigers
totaled six blocks in Game 1, including four
blocks by middle hitter Stephanie Kolnes.

Burlingames girls volleyball team was-
nt going to let anything stand between
them and homecoming, not even their
Central Coast Section playoff opener.
Saturday night, No. 3-seed Burlingame
(19-11) made quick work of No. 6-seed
Saratoga 25-17, 25-18, 25-14. With the
win, Burlingame advances to Wednesdays
Division III seminal match with Sacred
Heart Cathedral at Valley Christian. Game
time is slated for 5:30 p.m.
With the game being played at neighbor-
ing Mills due to a scheduling conict
Burlingames homecoming dance was being
held at its home gymthe Panthers hustled
to victory in straight sets, ring 12 service
aces throughout. And following their sec-
ond quarternal win in as many years, the
Panthers hardly took time to celebrate.
We have homecoming tonight,
Burlingame junior Tatum Novitsky said.
So, we really wanted to get out of here
tonight, and I was just ready to rock em.
After a seesaw start, Burlingame broke a
scoring deadlock when Novitsky reeled off
six straight service points. The junior hitter
went 13 for 19 from the service line, total-
ing ve aces, while junior Rachel Topper
tabbed four aces.
Burlingame was intent on advancing its
offensive systems by incorporating multi-
ple attacks, and established its strategy
early. The Panthers rst six match kills
were scored by ve different players, before
senior Bianca Alvarez and junior Dana
Williams emerged to pace the team with
three kills apiece in the rst set.
One thing about our team is they are a
very slow starting team, Burlingame head
coach Nilo Mauricio said. So once they get
warmed up, they kind of gure things out,
and thats when we can get done what we
need to get done on our side, offensively and
defensively.
Jumping out to a big lead in Game 2, the
Panthers began effectively commanding the
net. Alvarez and senior Morgan McKeever
each delivered four kills in the set, while
each pacing the team with a match-high
eight kills. Also, Williams notched seven
kills and Novitsky scored six kills in the
match.
In the past week weve been working on
a lot of different plays, spreading the ball
around so all our hitters can hit the ball
when were in system, McKeever said. So,
weve denitely been working on that in the
past week to put that into play for CCS.
The Panthers rode the strong distribution
of senior Isabell Walker into the nal set.
Walker tabbed 28 match assists, and demon-
strated the leadership skills that earned the
setter rst-team All-League honors this sea-
son. In Game 3, a towering return from
Saratoga went long towards the backline.
Novitsky initially settled under it, but
Walker charged back to call her off at the
last second. With her back to the net,
Walker provided a perfect bump set for
Novitskythe stronger hitter of the two
and the junior converted the kill with an
impromptu pipe shot.
We all really trust each other, so if some-
body calls the ball, were going to let them
have it, Novitsky said. We just trust that
theyre going to put it into good hands.
Burlingame also received exceptional
passing from Walker, McKeever, and junior
libero Brittney Carias, which allowed the
front-row defense to do their thing in the
nal set. The Panthers tabbed six blocks in
Game 3, including two by Cooper, who
scored a match-high three blocks through-
out.
For Saratoga (18-12), the loss marks its
second CCS-quarternal elimination in as
many years. The Falcons nished in second
place in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic
League El Camino Division this season, and
will graduate four seniorsJulia Lee, Tivoli
Sisco, Jennifer Ho, and first-team All-
League setter Katelyn Mollahan. Saratoga
has never won a CCS championship,
advancing to the nals just once in school
history when they were defeated by Mitty in
1991.
With the win, Burlingame advances to the
Division III semis. Along with Sacred Heart
Cathedral, Aptos, and Valley Christian, this
years nal four is comprised of the same
teams as last season, albeit with different
pairings. And just because the Panthers were
in a hurry to skedaddle to their homecoming
dance doesnt mean they arent amped about
CCS.
Its awesome, McKeever said. Were
super excited. Were ready for Sacred Heart
Cathedral [this] week.
In Saturdays other Division III action,
No. 2-seed Sacred Heart Cathedral downed
No. 7-seed Hillsdale 25-16, 25-14, 25-16.
This year marks just the third ever CCS
appearance for Hillsdale.
Top-seed Valley Christian downed No. 9-
seed Terra Nova in four sets 25-22, 16-25,
25-18, 25-19. Terra Nova, the lone team to
qualify for the postseason out of the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
this season, advanced to Saturdays semi-
nal by downing Notre Dame San Jose on
Wednesday, marking the rst CCS win for
Terra Nova in 30 years.
No. 4-seed Aptos downed No. 5-seed
South City in straight sets 25-19, 25-18,
25-18. It was South Citys rst CCS berth
since 2002.
In the Division I bracket, No. 1-seed
Menlo-Atherton swept No. 9-seed
Cupertino 25-14, 25-17, 25-15.
Menlo-Atherton established strong
defense at the net. Meanwhile, senior libero
Virginia Lane was digging everything that
came her way. Lane had 24 match kills while
senior hitter Pauli King red a match-high
18 kills and junior Devin Joos tabbed 15
kills.
They played ne, Menlo-Atherton head
coach Ron Whitmill said. My team tends
to be slow starting, unfortunately, but they
got things going and played well.
With the win, M-A advances to
Wednesdays seminal to take on No. 5-seed
Palo Alto at Santa Clara. Game time is
scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The winner will
advance to Saturdays championship game
at Independence to take on the winner of the
Wednesdays seminal match between No.
2-seed Homestead and No. 3-seed Salinas.
Whitmill said he isnt concerned with
specics as to who M-Aplays from here on
out.
It is who it is, Whitmill said. Its like I
told my girls if we do what we do on our
side of the court, they have adjust to us.
In the Division II bracket, No. 3-seed St.
Francis defeated No. 6-seed Woodside in four
sets 25-21, 27-25, 19-25, 25-22.

Wed love to share.
At Sterling Court, were
proud of what we offer.
But Burlingames Cooper Gindraux kept
the shutout intact by intercepting a pass in
the end zone with less than a minute to play.
Normally, I dont care (about the
shutout), Philipopoulos said. But Im
glad it happened.
San Mateos offense could never get
untracked, due in large part to injuries.
Running back Line Latu, who had missed
the last several games, played Saturday, but
he was a shell of his former self and not
completely healed. He was held to four yards
rushing on nine carries. Finau Hafoka hurt
his shoulder on the rst play from scrim-
mage and later suffered an ankle injury that
knocked him out of the game. He nished
with just 14 yards on four carries.
That left a bulk of the work to Watson
Filikitonga, who rushed for 74 yards on 17
carries 48 of which came on the Bearcats
nal drive of the game.
Philipopoulos had a lot about which to be
glad especially in the second half. After
being held to just 149 yards of offense in
the rst two quarters, the Panthers had 208
yards in the third quarter alone and nished
the game with 414 for the game.
We just challenged them (at halftime) and
like they have all season long, they
responded, Philipopoulos said of the dif-
ferences in the offense from the rst to sec-
ond half.
All but 42 of those yards came on the
ground, as nine different Burlingame ball
carriers combined for 372 yards rushing.
Chi Li Tang led the way with 81 yards on
just seven carries.
Its the diversity (that makes our offense
so effective), Philipopoulos said. I think
we have six, seven kid who could easily be
starting (running) backs.
After taking the second-half kickoff ,
Burlingame wasted little time in driving 62
yards, needing seven plays to cover the dis-
tance. Manase Palu capped the drive with an
8-yard scoring run to give the Panthers a
21-0 lead.
An interception by Burlingames Tommy
Dryden on San Mateos next drive gave the
Panthers a short eld at the Bearcats 27. On
the next play, Keahi took a screen pass from
Avery Gindraux and turned it into a 27-yard
score.
That gave the Panthers two touchdowns in
less than two minutes and the rout was on.
The Bearcats then fumbled the ball away
the next time they had the ball and the
Panthers cashed in again. Facing fourth-
and-1 at the 5-yard line, Burlingames
Grifn Intrieri not only picked up the rst
down but went in for a touchdown and a 35-
0 Panthers lead.
And they still werent done. After forcing
San Mateo to punt, Burlingame needed just
one play to go 62 yards as Keahi exploded
through the line of scrimmage and took it to
the house for a 42-0 Panthers lead and the
fourth score of the third quarter.
With a running clock in the fourth quarter,
Burlingame added one more score as the
Panthers drove 60 yards on six plays. Duran
Andrade scored from two yards out, but the
key play was a 34-yard run from Tang.
The second half was a far cry from the rst
two quarters, which featured a defensive bat-
tle between the two squads. Burlingame
nally got on the scoreboard late in the rst
quarter when Robby Baumgarten scored
from ve yards out on a fourth-and-1 to cap
a 25-yard, six-play drive that was set up by
a 5-yard San Mateo punt.
The Panthers doubled their lead midway
through the second quarter, with Keahi scor-
ing from three yards out to cap Burlingames
longest scoring drive of the day 88 yards
on 12 plays.

With a West Catholic League title and a
spot in the Central Coast Section Open
Division hanging in the balance, the Serra
Padres took on the unbeaten Archbishop
Mitty Monarchs Saturday afternoon.
And the boys in blue and gold proved yet
again why theyre arguably the team to beat
in the entire section.
By virtue of their 31-7 win over Mitty,
Serra captured a share of the WCAL title.
They also knocked Mitty from the No. 1
seed in that Open Division and pushed them
to No. 5. That means, if they two were to
meet again this season, it was be for the
Open Division championship. For now,
No. 7 Pioneer of San Jose will visit the
Padres on Saturday afternoon to get Serras
latest playoff run on the road.
Hamilton Anoai caught three Matt
Faaita touchdowns passes in what was
probably Serras best performance of the
season.
The Padres got on the board rst when
Faaita threw a 17-yard TD pass to Anoai.
The Faaita to Anoai connection came
through once again for a 24-yard pitch and
catch to make it 14-0.
The Monarchs answered with a score of
their own to make it 14-7 at the end of the
rst quarter. But right before the end of the
rst half, senior Kevin McGee scored on a
5-yard touchdown run to give Serra its two-
TD lead back.
Senior kicker Steven Bodley added a 25-
yard eld goal half way through the third
quarter to make it 24-7. And nally, another
Faaita to Anoai hookup on a 69-yard
touchdown pass sealed the 31-7 victory at
31-7.
Serras potential seminal opponents are
No. 6 Bellarmine or No. 3 Wilcox. There is
a potential for an all San Mateo county nal
in the Open Division. If Serra were to reach
the nals, they might see No. 1 seeded Terra
Nova.
CSM BEATS SANTA ROSA
The College of San Mateo football team
knew it needed some help from City College
of San Francisco if they hoped to play in for
the CCCAANorthern California title.
But rst and foremost, it would have take
care of a tough Santa Rosa Junior College
team.
The Bulldogs did just that, jumping out to
a 21-0 lead in the rst quarter behind two
George Naufahu touchdowns and a 30-yard
run by Casey Wichman, CSM romped the
Bearcubs 54-20.
But the win, coupled with a CCSF loss to
the No. 1 team in the state, Butte, means,
the Bulldogs will not play for the Northern
California championship. Instead, CSM
will welcome American River College
Saturday afternoon at the Bothman Bulldog
bowl. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for
noon.
In CSMs win, the Bulldogs ran up 580
yards of total offense 503 of which came
on the ground.

The 2013 Central Coast Section football
playoffs are here.
And when they kick off on Friday, San
Mateo county will represent the CCS as the
No. 1 seed in three of the ve championship
brackets.
Terra Nova, Burlingame and Sacred Heart
Prep earned the right to be the No. 1 seed in
the Open, Division III and Division IV
respectively.
Terra Novas No. 1 seed in the Open
Division represents the first time a
Peninsula Athletic League school has earned
such a high seeding. At a perfect 10-0, the
Tigers will have to through a gauntlet of
West Catholic League teams to play in the
championship game Friday, Dec. 6 at San
Jose City College. First up, Terra Nova will
take on No. 8 Valley Christian in Pacica
Friday at 7 p.m.
Junipero Serra, who captured a share of
the WCALchampionship with a dominating
win over Archbishop MItty Saturday after-
noon in the regular season nale, is the No.
2 in the Open Division. The Padres will host
Pioneer High School of San Jose Saturday,
Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. The winner will face
either Bellarmine College Prep or Wilcox.
For Terra Nova, a win means a date with
Mitty (No. 5) or Palma (No. 4).
After dismantling San Mateo in the 86th
Little Big Game, Burlingame earned the No.
1 seed in Division III. The Panthers are
searching for their rst CCS title since
2003. Theyll host PAL Lake Division
champion, No. 8 Hillsdale, in a rst round
matchup. That game is scheduled for a 7
p.m. start Friday night. The winner will
take on either No. 4 Christoper or No. 5 St.
Ignatius.
Fellow PAL Ocean member Aragon got
into CCS by virtue of its win over Hillsdale.
The Dons are seeded No. 7 and will travel to
No. 2 Aptos, Friday night at 7 p.m. The
winner there will take on either No. 3 Leigh
or No. 6 Willow Glen at a time and place to
be determined.
Over in Division IV, Sacred Heart Prep
will begin its title defense as the No. 1 seed
in the bracket. But unlike last year, where
they faced rival Menlo School in the cham-
pionship game, Prep will have to get past
the Knights in the seminals if they want to
repeat.
The Gators and Menlo are the same half of
the 2013 Division IVbracket. SHP will take
on No. 8 Seaside at home, Saturday at 1 p.m.
The winner will take on either No. 4 Menlo
or No. 5 Monterey. The Knights will host
Monterey at Sequoia High School Friday
night at 7:30 p.m. The Division IV bracket
has one unbeaten team No. 3 Carmel
who is 10-0.
The countys last CCS representative
comes in the form of Menlo-Atherton, who
earned the No. 3 seed in what appears to be
one of the most stacked brackets for these
playoffs.
No. 3 M-A will host No. 6 Oak Grove
Friday night at 7 p.m. The winner will take
on either No. 7 North Salinas or No. 2 Los
Gatos. The Bears already have a win over
Los Gatos this season.
Terra Nova, SHP and Burlingame are No. 1 seeds in CCS
San Mateo County had a strong showing
at the Central Coast Section cross country

Springs course Saturday.
Five teams qualied for the state meet and
a number of individuals had top-20 nishes.
Both the Half Moon Bay and Crystal
Springs Uplands School boys and girls

state meet, settling for second place behind
Bellarmine despite taking the top two spots
and having four runners nish in the top-15
The Menlo-Atherton girls came agoniz-
ingly close, but fell just a few points short
of qualifying for the state. The Bears n-
ished third, one spot out of advancing.

passed for two touchdowns but also was sacked three times
and threw for only 127 yards. He scrambled three times for
25 yards.
His last run was a 16-yarder that came up just 3 yards
short of a rst down on third-and-long with less than two
minutes to go.
That gave Brees all the time he needed to lead a game-win-
ning drive in regulation.
Youre going to have games like this, Brees said. You
still nd way to win against a playoff-caliber opponent
with a lot at stake at this point in the season. That says a
lot.
No Super Bowl loser has returned to the Super Bowl the
following year since Buffalo in 1993, and the 49ers (6-4)
have put themselves in a tough position, falling three-and-
a-half games behind division rival Seattle.
The greater the challenge, the greater the glory, coach
Jim Harbaugh said.
HOUSTON Oakland rookie Matt
McGloin was so good in a victory
over the Houston Texans that it raised
questions about whether Terrelle Pryor
will get his job back when hes
healthy.
The undrafted free agent threw three
touchdown passes in his rst NFLstart
and the Raiders extended Houstons
franchise-record skid to eight games
with a 28-23 victory on Sunday in
coach Gary Kubiaks return from a
mini-stroke.
Oakland coach Dennis Allen evaded
the question when asked if McGloin
would remain the starter when Pryor
has recovered from a knee injury.
Listen, heres what Im going to do
Im going to enjoy this win, all
right, Allen said. Were going to go
back and well evaluate. But he de-
nitely did a very good job today.
McGloin was 18 of 32 for 197
yards. Houstons Case Keenum, also
an undrafted free agent, was benched
after Houstons offense stalled in the
third quarter.
McGloin threw touchdown passes of
5, 16 and 26 yards to help the Raiders
score their most points of the season.
There is always more to prove and
more to do, McGloin said. I think I
got off to a good start, but we will
see.
Kubiak wasnt on the sidelines,
instead coaching upstairs from the
booth on doctors orders two weeks
after collapsing at halftime of
Houstons game against Indianapolis.
He benched Keenum for Matt Schaub
with Houston trailing by 11 points.
Houston cut the lead with two eld
goals in the fourth quarter and had a
chance to take the lead late. But
Schaubs pass to Andre Johnson on
fourth down from the 8 was broken up
in the end zone.
Johnson and Schaub were yelling at
each other on the eld after the play
and the screaming match continued on
the sidelines, a clear indication of the
frustration on a disappointing team
that was supposed to contend for a
Super Bowl.
Johnson said the argument came
because the receiver messed up and
didnt nish the play.
We just exchanged some words, he
said. Its just heat of the moment.
Once we came in the locker room, we
talked about it, left it alone so Im not
worried about that. Me and Matt have
played a lot of football together.
Schaub also brushed off their dis-
agreement.
Its just emotions, emotions of the
game, a culmination of a lot of things,
but stuff well keep between us,
Schaub said.
Kubiak replaced Keenum with
Schaub after Houstons first three
drives of the second half all ended in
punts. Schaub was terrible early this
season and hadnt played since Oct.
13, after he was benched following an
injury.
Keenum threw for 170 yards with a
touchdown and an interception.
Schaub had 155 yards passing.
McGloin leads Raiders over Texans
announcing to his players that this was his
nal ride.
Whatever moment you choose, a couple of
things are certain about South Citys 29-28
win over nemesis El Camino: one, the 2013
Bell Game will go down as one of the most
unforgettable and emotionally draining con-
tests in the rivalrys history.
And two, as far as christening a new stadi-
um is concerned, no one does it better than
the city of South San Francisco.
The 2013 Bell Game was about as evenly
matched as it has been in recent memory. The
Warriors, despite their 0-5 run through the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay Division,
went into Saturdays game not having loss to
El Camino in 20 years. But it was South
Citys struggles and injuries, coupled with
the Colts and the opening of their new foot-
ball eld and subsequent hosting of the Bell
Game for the rst time in its history, that
gave El Camino players the belief that this
was their season.
And up until the 5:06 mark of the fourth
quarter, when Michael Keegan bulldozed his
way for a 1-yard touchdown (and John Turner
added a 2-point conversion), it appeared El
Camino had South Citys number. The Colts
had busted the door open to begin the second
half after trading football blows with the
Warriors during the rst 24 minutes of foot-
ball. One play into the second half, Brandon
Gip exploded into the South City secondary
and carried the ball 63 yards for a touchdown
that gave El Camino the 20-13 lead.
The score gave the Colts added momentum
after hanging with South City for the games
initial parts. The Warriors thwarted El
Caminos initial drive, that took up double-
digit plays to begin the game but netted them
zero points. And, despite trailing 13-7 as
time was winding down in the second quarter,
South City kept plugging away with the run
game and it paid off as a last minute touch-
down gave the Warriors the lead going into
recess.
But Gips touchdown run right out of the
second-half gate energized El Camino. The
Colts only ran four plays in that third quarter
(as opposed to 20 for South City) but still led
20-13. A missed extra point though would
loom large in the grand scheme of things.
South City went on yet another long and
bruising drive to end the third quarter, and on
the rst play of the fourth, Dupra Goodman
broke off a 27-yard touchdown run to give
the Warriors a 21-20 lead.
After an El Camino punt, the Colt defense
came up huge, forcing a turnover on downs at
the 43-yard line. It was then than Gip and
Danny Ruiz carried the ball all the way to the
1-yard line and Keegan did the honors to put
El Camino up 28-21.
But South City came right back. With ve
minutes left, it took the Warriors eight plays
to go 69 yards yards. Goodman ran the ball in
from eight yards out and then South City
head coach Frank Moro made the gutsy call
and elected to go for two with 1:28 left in the
game.
On the exact same play call that scored the
touchdown, Goodman went in to give South
City the 29-28 lead.
But El Camino wasnt done. With 1:26 left,
Keegan drove the Colts down to the 2-yard
line with eight second left which set up a 19-
yard, game-winning eld goal attempt.
Adelay of game penalty made it a 24-yard
attempt. It might not have made much of a
difference though as El Camino missed the
kick wide to the left to give South City
another Bell Game win.
After the game, Moro announced that this
was his last season as the South City head
football coach.

However, Kolnes exited early after sprain-
ing her ankle on what was, until she rolled
the ankle, probably the rally of her life.
Amid the rally, Kolnes had three consecu-
tive blocks, but Menlo junior Elisa Merten
nally elevated a kill over the outstretched
hands of the tenacious Kolnes, who landed
on a teammate on the way down. After a
brief play stoppage, the junior had to be
helped off the court.
She came down on someones foot,
twisted her ankle, and that was it, Notre
Dame head coach Jennifer Agresti said. She
is one of our best middles, and that really
hurt us a lot.
As Notre Dame switched from a 5-1 set to
a 6-2, Menlo started rolling, relying heavi-
ly on its stellar defense to stay in system. In
Game 2, the Knights back row forced one
long rally after another, allowing Menlo
hitters to bide their time to pinpoint with
an array of kill velocities.
The Tigers didnt get a down ball against
Cairo until midway through Game 3, by
which time it was too late. Notre Dame held
its only lead of the match early in the third
set. But with her Knights trailing by one,
Dressel tabbed three consecutive kills to
give Menlo a 7-5 lead which they would not
relinquish. Notre Dame tallied just ve kills
in the nal set.
I think it really came down to our pass-
ing, Cavella said. We have four or ve
girls on this team that can pass really, real-
ly well. It allows us to do a lot of things on
offense, and today we were great.
As was Cairo, whose vocal verve while
running the oor can give any football quar-
terback a run for his money.
Denitely as a libero, I try to take a lead-
ing role in the back row, Cairo said. Im
just calling out where their players are,
because sometimes our blockers are just
more focused on offense, and Im only real-
ly focused on defense. So, I just get to point
out things that they might not be able to
see.
With the loss, Notre Dame closes the year
with a 19-14 overall record. The Tigers will
graduate five seniors Anna Tealdi,
Daniela Barbera, Emma Irvine, Kaylin
OLeary, and Lorin Hom. However, in her
second year as head coach, Agresti has good
reason to be optimistic about the future.
Notre Dame will return all but one of its
starters next season, including three current
freshmen Tammy Byrne, Mele Fakatene,
and Katie Smoot.
Youre going to hear a lot more about
Notre Dame Belmont, Agresti said. Were
a young squad. All our starters are pretty
much freshmen and sophomores. So, its
exciting for me to be able to coach that.
On the winning side, Cavella is maintain-
ing a conservative approach to Menlos top
seeding in the Division IVbracket. While it
is his rst year at the helm of the Knights,
Cavella brings a wealth of postseason expe-
rience from his seven years as head coach at
Crystal Springs Upland, including a
Division Vchampionship in 2010.
Were just going to take it match by
match, and game by game, and point by
point, and just kind of stay focused on the
present and not get too far looking ahead,
Cavella said. Well prepare and come
Monday in practice and get ready for whoev-
er we are playing.
The winner of Menlos seminal show-
down with Harker will advance to Saturdays
championship game to play the winner of
Wednesdays semifinal matchup between
No. 2-seed Notre Dame Salinas and No. 3-
seed Soquel.
Soquel advanced with a ve-set win over
Sacred Heart Prep, Saturday 25-19, 19-
25, 13-25, 25-20, 15-8.

1301 Ralston in Belmont
has been attending the dinner service for six
years. Having facilities that encouraged
human contact was a social gift, Andrews
said. Although it was only for an hour, not
having an indoor dining room will be a
hardship on Samaritan House clients, par-
ticularly with winter beginning and for
those without housing, Andrews said.
People looked forward to not only a hot
dinner, but a warm place to sit, Andrews
said.
Jose Ortiz has been involved with and
attending Samaritan Houses dining serv-
ices since he was 12 years old. Sadly,
many of the clients will end up having to
eat their meals on the street, Ortiz said.
Now an adult, Ortiz is in school and
works part time. He continues to attend
the dining service two to three times a
week and volunteers as often as he can,
Ortiz said.
People want to give back, Cousenes
said. At the indoor facility clients were
happy to chip in any way they could by
helping to clean up or put away chairs,
Cousenes said.
Clients of Samaritan Houses food serv-
ice program are generally working mem-
bers of the community who struggle to
make ends meet with the countys high
cost of living, Bent said. Its food service
programs help to supplement resources
for low-income individuals who already
struggle to pay for housing or transporta-
tion, Bent said.
We are bound and determined to find a
location in this same area, because of lot
of these individuals are walking here. Its
within walking distance and many of
them dont have transportation, Bent
said.
Remaining accessible to clients is the
only way for Samaritan House to success-
fully help those who are in need, Bent
said.
Samaritan House cooks all of its meals
at its main office and has several other
food programs. They have a weekend to-
go lunch program that provides an indi-
vidual with enough food to get through
the evening, Cousenes said. There is a
mobile meals program, similar to meals-
on-wheels, as well as a food pantry that
provides low-income families with full
boxes of groceries. About 80 percent of
its food comes from the Second Harvest
Food Bank and the remainder is donated
by local grocery stores, Bent said.
Samaritan House offers a range of serv-
ices to the community. With the assis-
tance from the Peninsula Health Care
District and the Sequoia Healthcare
District, it offers medical and dental care
through its free clinics of San Mateo and
Redwood City, Spiker said. It also has the
90 bed Safe Harbor Shelter for the home-
less, Bent said.
Cousenes began volunteering with
Samaritan House at a young age. He start-
ed by driving around and looking for peo-
ple who needed help. He would take an
inventory of what those in the homeless
community needed and would return with
clothes and sleeping bags, Cousenes
said.
You have to be in their shoes to under-
stand. Some people [in the community]
live day by day on their income,
Cousenes said. But were here to help
them no matter what.
Samaritan House is looking for a dining
room location that could seat 75 to 100
peopl e. As the holiday season is
approaching, it is looking for food dona-
tions such as turkeys, chicken and ham to
cook and serve through its dining pro-
gram.

CHARITY
from San Francisco to San Jose was almost
an adventure and driving to Half Moon Bay
was a trek.
Eisenhower wanted to change this. The
two-lane highways from east to west had
to be widened to at least four lanes with
shoulders on them. The days of driving
across country in a car and getting stuck
behind a slow-moving truck or a harvest-
ing combine had to become history. The
old highways traveled from town to con-
gested town centers had to be changed
and the new interstates were planned to
go around towns thus saving much time
and money for truckers and cars.
On the Peninsula, the new interstate
was to be parallel to highways 1 and 101
where possible and hope that San
Francisco would cooperate and let the
road go through the city. That answer was
no. San Francisco is one of the few cities
that has no north-south interstate. In San
Mateo County, part of the existing
Junipero Serra Boulevard had to be torn
out so the interstate could get through
Daly City, South San Francisco and San
Bruno.
Because of the existing opposition to
completing the Junipero Serra
Boulevard, it was decided to travel to the
west through Crestmoor in San Bruno,
then use parts of existing Skyline
Boulevard as it progressed south through
the San Francisco Watershed and Caada
Road. San Francisco said no to this and
opted for the interstate to go around its
wildlife preserve. San Francisco won and
delayed the connection through to
Woodside by many months.
Another big obstacle that had to be
overcome was the existence of the deep
San Mateo Creek bed that had the Crystal
Springs Dam just below the area the road
was to cross the creek. After the engi-
neers figured things out, it was achieved
with the design and construction of an
impressive bridge completed in 1969.
It was decided the bridge should honor a
prominent policeman, Eugene A. Doran,
who was killed by a man, Alexander
Robillard XIV, who was wanted for a bur-
glary he had committed. Doran had
stopped Robillard in the area of Bunker
Hill Road and Skyline Boulevard. After
fleeing the scene, Robillard was later
captured in Salt Lake City and executed
for this crime. Doran left two sons and a
pregnant wife to wonder why this sense-
less murder had to happen. The bridge
was named the Eugene A. Doran
Memorial Bridge. Eugenes son, Lance
Cpl. Patrick M. Doran, was killed in
Vietnam Feb. 18, 1967. In August 2004,
the Senate redesignated the bridge in
memory of his son as the Officer Eugene
and Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick M. Doran
Memorial Bridge.

I
m
sure
you
were
among the
many peo-
ple sick-
ened by
our recent
news. In
case you
missed it,
we issued a $1,500 reward for information lead-
ing to the arrest and conviction of the person or
persons responsible for a puppy essentially
being torn apart by another dog or dogs. We
dont know for sure that someone intended to
bring harm to this 10-week-old pit bull puppy;
we suspect someone did. At the very least, an
owner may have failed to provide veterinary care
for their dying puppy or abandoned their puppy,
both considered animal cruelty. At the worst,
someone purposefully subjected this dog to an
attack, which would be considered an animal cru-
elty felony. The puppy was male, mostly white
with black spots; he had no collar, tag or
microchip. The exact location where he was
found was on a sidewalk at the intersection of
Cooley Avenue and Bell Street in East Palo Al t o.
If you have any information that might be help-
ful for our investigation, please call (650) 340-
7022, ext . 384. There is very little we can do for
t hi s puppy, short of finding the person responsi-
ble and handing a case to our District Attorneys
Office for prosecution. But, we can do something
for other animals being abused or neglected.
Please know PHS/SPCA investigates all cases of
abuse or cruelty; we are the only animal-welfare
group that addresses abuse in San Mateo County.
Please continue being the voice for animals who
cannot speak. We cant save the puppy, but we
have a center full of dogs who can be adopted and
given a second chance. If adoption doesnt fit
your interests or lifestyle now, consider foster-
ing a shelter animal or volunteering as a dog
walker. And, of course, know that our anti-cruel-
ty work is entirely donor-funded. We receive no
funding from national animal welfare groups
though they dont mind you thinking that gifts
trickle down they dont .

NEWYORK In an unlikely battle
of sequels, Thor: The Dark World
bested The Best Man Holiday at the
box ofce.
Disneys Thor: The Dark World
continued its box-office reign with
$38.5 million in its second week of
release, according to studio estimates
Sunday. Opening 15 years after the
original The Best Man, Universals
The Best Man Holiday opened
strongly with $30.6 million.
Drawing an overwhelmingly female
and African-American audience, The
Best Man Holiday was a surprise
challenger for the mighty Thor. The
R-rated romantic comedy, with an
ensemble cast including Morris
Chestnut and Taye Diggs, debuted with
more than three times the box ofce of
1999s The Best Man. That film
opened with $9 million.
Marvels Norse superhero, however,
has been hammering audiences around
the globe. Thor: The Dark World
made $52.5 million internationally
over the weekend, bringing its world-
wide total to $479.8 million. Wi t h
Chris Hemsworth as the title character
and Tom Hiddleston as the popular vil-
lain Loki, the Thor franchise has
proven to be one of Marvels most
successful.
Just as Thor approached the half-
billion mark, Warner Bros. space
adventure Gravity crossed it in its
seventh week of release.
The Best Man Holiday was the
only new wide-release opening over
the weekend, as the marketplace clears
out for the release of Hunger Games:
Catching Fire. In limited release,
Alexander Paynes black-and-white
Midwest road trip Nebraska opened
in four locations with a strong
$35,000 per theater average for
Paramount Pictures.
Martin Scorseses The Wolf of Wall
Street was originally slated to open,
but was postponed to Dec. 25 by
Paramount.
Expected to be one of the years
biggest debuts, Lionsgates
Catching Fire will abruptly close
the box-ofce window for Thor next
weekend. Catching Fire opened in
Brazil over the weekend, earning $6.3
million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday
through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
theaters, according to Rentrak. Where
available, latest international num-
bers for Friday through Sunday are
also included. Final domestic gures
will be released Monday.
1. Thor: The Dark World, $38.5
million ($52.5 million internation-
al).
2. The Best Man Holiday, $30.6

MOSCOW ABoeing 737 jet-
liner crashed and burst into ames
Sunday night while trying to land
at the airport in the Russian city
of Kazan, killing all 50 people
aboard in the latest in a string of
deadly crashes across the country.
The Tatarstan Airlines plane was
trying to make a second landing
attempt when it touched the sur-
face of the runway near the control
tower, and was destroyed and
caught re, said Sergei Izvolky,
the spokesman for the Russian
aviation agency.
The Emergencies Ministry said
there were 44 passengers and six
crew members aboard the evening
ight from Moscow and all had
been killed. Kazan, a city of about
1.1 million and the capital of the
Tatarstan republic, is about 720
kilometers (450 miles) east of the
capital.
The ministry released a list of
the dead, which included Irek
Minnikhanov, the son of
Tatarstans governor, and
Alexander Antonov, who headed
the Tatarstan branch of the Federal
Security Service, the main succes-
sor agency to the Soviet-era KGB.
Some Russian air crashes have
been blamed on the use of aging
aircraft, but industry experts point
to a number of other problems,
including poor crew training,
crumbling airports, lax govern-
ment controls and widespread neg-
lect of safety in the pursuit of
prots.
The Emergencies Ministry
released photographs from the
nighttime scene showing parts of
the aircraft and debris scattered
across the ground. Ambulances
lined up in front of the airport
building.
It was not clear why the planes
rst landing attempt was unsuc-
cessful. Boeing said it would pro-
vide assistance to the investiga-
tion into the cause.
Boeings thoughts are with
those affected by the crash, the
company said in a statement on its
website.
A journalist who said she had
own on the same aircraft from
Kazan to Moscows Domodedovo
airport earlier in the day told
Channel One state television that
the landing in Moscow had been
frightening because of a strong
vibration during the nal minutes
of the ight.
When we were landing it was
not clear whether there was a
strong wind, although in Moscow
the weather was ne, or some kind
of technical trouble or problem
with the flight, said Lenara
Kashafutdinova. We were blown
in different directions, the plane
was tossed around. The man sit-
ting next to me was white as a
sheet.
Tatarstan is one of the wealthier
regions of Russia because of its
large deposits of oil. It is also is a
major manufacturing center, pro-
ducing trucks, helicopters and
planes. About half of the people
who live in the republic are ethnic
Tatars, most of whom are
Muslims.
Russias last fatal airliner crash
was in December, when a Russian-
made Tupolev belonging to Red
Boeing plane crashes in Russia, 50 on board killed

BEIRUT Thousands of Syrians
poured into Lebanon over the past
two days, taking shelter in wedding
halls and makeshift shacks after
eeing heavy ghting in a rugged
mountain region across the border
in western Syria, U.N. and local
ofcials said Sunday.
The clashes in Qalamoun, an area
that stretches from north of the
Syrian capital along the Lebanese
frontier, appeared to be part of a
long-anticipat-
ed government
offensive aimed
at cutting a key
rebel supply
route and
c e m e n t i n g
P r e s i d e n t
Bashar Assads
hold on the
strategic corri-
dor from the capital to the coast.
Over the past month, Assads
forces have made headway against
the rebels on two key fronts, cap-
turing a string of opposition-held
suburbs south of Damascus and tak-
ing two towns and a military base
outside the northern city of
Aleppo. Agovernment victory in
the battle for Qalamoun would deal
a severe blow to the already belea-
guered rebels on Damascus
doorstep.
Despite the recent setbacks on
the capitals southern periphery,
the opposition remains firmly
entrenched in other areas around
Damascus and capable of carrying
out large attacks. A massive
explosion late Sunday targeting
an administrative office in the
northeastern suburb of Harasta
killed at least 31 government
troops, the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
said. There was no immediate con-
rmation from government of-
cials or state media.
Since the heavy fighting in
Qalamoun began Friday, some
10,000 Syrians have ed across
the border to the Lebanese frontier
town of Arsal, former Mayor
Bassel Hojeiri said. He said the new
arrivals have crammed into wed-
ding halls and improvised shacks.
Some families left so quickly
that they arrived in Lebanon with-
out anything except the clothes on
their backs, said Dana Sleiman,
who works for the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees.
She said at least 1,000 Syrian
families crossed into Lebanon over
the weekend, but many had not yet
registered with the U.N., so more
precise gures werent available.

year-old who attends Hillsdale High
School. Bonini has two sons, one is in
kindergarten and the other is in fourth
grade, both at Laurel Elementary
School.
In March, Bonini, 41, decided to run
primarily to help address equity issues
she sees in the district. She also want-
ed to represent the area south of State
Route 92 since there arent any other
board members from that area.
Additionally, she believes she has the
right qualications as a lawyer and for-
merly as a kindergarten teacher in
South San Francisco.
Schools need balance its bene-
cial to be in a school with a mix,
Bonini said. Its really hard when the
school has heavily disadvantaged stu-
dents. You cant just keep ignoring
this, its been talked about, but there
hasnt been anything done about it.
Bonini believes this equity issue
needs to be addressed along with the
districts overcrowding. For the past
five years, district enrollment has
grown from 1,703 students from
10,079 to 11,782.
To address overcrowding in the dis-
trict, the board put Measure P, a con-
tentious $130 million bond measure on
the ballot. It only received 46.5 percent
approval, short of 55 percent voter
approval it required. The bonds aim
was to rebuild and expand Bowditch
Middle School to add Foster City fth
graders and reopen Knolls Elementary
School in San Mateo for the 2016-17
school year, following a design process
and construction of about three years. It
would have cost property owners $19
per $100,000 assessed property value.
Coady, 45, said it was very difcult
for him to not support it. Normally, he
said he is behind measures to support
schools.
Our schools are terribly underfunded
and overcrowded, he said. I just could-
nt support it, the way we had planned
to purchase solar was probably not the
best way to do it. The overarching
thing was I just dont think it was
enough; it was a Band-Aid for the
schools in our district.
There was a lot of focus on a couple
schools, while they all need updates, he
said.
Bonini hopes the district can move
past Measure P in a positive way and
wouldnt support a plan to address over-
crowding without addressing equity as
well. She believes Measure P was poor-
ly written.
What motivated Coady to run?
Volunteer work throughout the years in
his childrens schools was a key to him
ending up on Laurels site council, then
becoming president of the Parent
Teacher Association for two years.
I saw a lot of the challenges and
opportunities, said Coady, who works
in management for ADP in San
Francisco. I had a lot things I accom-
plished and am proud of. Ive never run
for ofce before, but do care about
schools. Its too easy to just go along
with the flow; I wanted to get
involved.
What is each of the candidates look-
ing forward to most?
For Bonini, its being involved with
decisions that impact communities.
I want more people to understand
what the school board does, she said.
I want to be accessible.
Coady said he wants to make the dis-
trict a model for the rest of the state of
California and plans to prioritize differ-
ential small group learning and expand-
ing the magnet and world language pro-
grams.
The school board should be spend-
ing time to increase student achieve-
ment across all schools, said Coady,
who decided to run in January. At some
of the meetings they spend time talking
about a logo or non-essential items and
it honestly makes me angry. I want to
help the district focus only on things
that can improve student achievement.
Curriculum is also on Boninis mind,
including Common Core, which she
believes will allow for more consisten-
cy across districts and even states. New
Common Core standards shift to more
project-based and team collaborative
learning, with less time spent on lec-
tures and more of an emphasis on stu-
dents using technology in classrooms.
Since 1998, California school districts
spent a significant amount of time
preparing for STAR tests. New Smarter
Balance testing, which aligns with the
new Common Core standards, will go
into effect during the 2014-15 school
year.
It initially struck a chord with me,
she said. It very much seemed like the
way I was taught to teach. Its very dis-
cussion based. It will help with differ-
entiation of students. Its good for a lot
of kids. Technology will be the chal-
lenge.

block bounded by Middleeld Road,
Bradford Street, Jefferson Avenue and
Veterans Boulevard. However, the revi-
sions are meant to address concerns
that the tall development, particularly
the tower on Bradford Street, did not
mesh with the existing architectures
charm and size.
We brought them in our ofce so
they could see what we would be look-
ing at it and they were very reasonable in
accommodating our suggestions, said
Geoff Carr, an attorney and partner in the
business appealing the project.
The project at 525 Middleeld Road
calls for approximately 10,500 square
feet of commercial space for the San
Mateo Credit Union and leasing ofce
along with the housing in three 10-story
towers and two- to three-story podium
buildings. The condos can be leased out
for 10 years as apartments. The project
also includes three levels of unbundled
parking.
In the revised design, oors four
through 10 on the Bradford and Jefferson
towers will be shifted north 8.5 feet to
create a three-story edice along the
Bradford Street side. The stepback at the
fourth level will create an eight-and-a-
half-foot deep open space deck of rough-
ly 1,700 square feet. The deck will replace
1,020 square feet of landscape lost from
the tower shift, according to Peter F.
Dunne of developer Downtown RWC Res,
LLC. More plantings on the deck will
break up the visual impact of the building
mass.
The original appeal argued the develop-
ment violated the provisions of the citys
downtown precise plan and called for a
new environmental impact report because
the consolidation of county courts into
Redwood City has increased trafc and
trafc pressure in the area.
Carr said those issues are out of his
hand.
We cant be the conscious for the
city, he said.
The city, however, must still accept the
design revisions. The City Council is
scheduled to hear the appeal at Monday
nights meeting and could theoretically
reject them in favor of the plan originally
approved by the Planning Commission
in September.
If they do that, well be back to square
one, Carr said.
Carrs partner Kevin Frederick wrote in
a Nov. 12 letter to Planning Manager
Blake Lyon on Nov. 12 that as long as the
city conrms the modications, there
will be no lawsuit.
We are happy that we were able to
resolve our concerns through negotiation
with the applicant rather than litigation,
Frederick wrote.
Assuming the City Council denied the
appeal and implements the modications
as recommended, construction is sched-
uled to begin in January 2014 with occu-
pancy starting in late 2015 to early 2016.
The Redwood City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Nov. 18 at City Hall,
1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City.

BOSTON Theres no shortage of places
for people to share memories of where they
were 50 years ago when they found out John
F. Kennedy had been assassinated. But a new
website debuting Monday aims to take the
focus from past to future by asking people
of all ages even those who werent alive
when Kennedy died to share their
thoughts about how he has inspired them.
The website is part of the JFK Library and
Museums commemoration of the 50th
anniversary of JFKs death, which is Friday.
The museum also plans a new exhibit of
never-before-displayed items from his
three-day state funeral, including the ag
that draped his casket and notes written by
First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
Visitors to the An Idea Lives On site can
explore an interactive video that includes
NASA Commander Chris Cassidy, former
Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis,
comedian Conan OBrien, Freedom Rider
Charles Person and others talking about
Kennedys lasting impact.
The Kennedy Library Foundation, a non-
profit that raises money to support the
library, is spearheading the project. The
foundation hopes visitors will upload their
own photos, videos, written messages and
tweets to answer the question How do the
ideals of John F. Kennedy live on in your
life today?
Its ambitious, said Tom McNaught, the
foundations executive director. He was an
ambitious president. In a way thats how we
see this. You cant stop trying to instill in
young people the ideas he instilled in my
generation.
All submissions will become part of the
archives at the JFK Library in Boston. The
best stories will be featured on the site.
The stories are meant to be really per-
sonal, said Brian Williams, vice president
and creative director of The Martin Agency,
which produced the site.
The sites name comes from a quote in a
speech Kennedy gave in February 1963: A
man may die, nations may rise and fall, but
an idea lives on. Its also inscribed on the
wall visitors to the library see when they
exit the small area of the museum that focus-
es on his assassination and walk into a
brighter area where they can learn about his
lasting impact on civil rights, public serv-
ice, civic discourse, the arts, space explo-
ration and more.
President Kennedy stood for vitality and
optimism and hope, so weve made a con-
scious decision to try to have the experi-
ence be uplifting, said Tom Putnam, the
librarys executive director.
Because of that focus, the library does not
typically do anything special to mark the
anniversary of Kennedys assassination.
But this year is different.
In addition to the website, a new exhibit
starts Friday that will include the flag from
his casket and the saddle, boots and sword
worn by the riderless horse that walked in
the funeral procession. Visitors will also
see notes written by Jackie Kennedy as she
made plans for her husbands funeral and a
15-minute video with footage from the
events.
Curator Stacey Bredhoff hopes it will help
visitors who were not alive or too young to
remember comprehend the enormity of the
shock and the mourning that followed.
Also Friday, the library will host a musi-
cal tribute featuring Paul Winter, who per-
formed at the White House with his jazz sex-
tet during Kennedys presidency, along with
a U.S. Navy choir and singer James Taylor.
Between songs, notable guests including
Gov. Deval Patrick will read quotes from
Kennedys speeches. The event is not open
to the public, but it will be streamed live on
the librarys website. It will include a
moment of silence at the time Kennedy was
killed.
Members of the Kennedy family will not
attend and instead will observe the anniver-
sary privately at home.
We want our tone to be respectful and we
want it to have a certain reverence, but we
also want it to be hopeful and end on this
notion of what JFK stood for, Putnam said
Website asks people to share stories of JFK legacy
DALLAS The mementoes are every-
where, preserved for ve decades by people
who wish they could forget: Letters of grief
and thanks, in a widows hand. An unwanted
wedding band. Arose stained with blood.
Those who were closest to events on the
day President John F. Kennedy was assassi-
nated still talk about what they witnessed as
if it happened yesterday. And they frequent-
ly mention a keepsake, some small but
often heavy burden theyve carried since
Nov. 22, 1963 perhaps a touchstone to
happier memories or just an artifact proving
history brushed their lives.
Some cant even explain the items they
keep from those awful, convulsing, world-
changing 24 hours.
Dawn was approaching it was past 6

a.m. that Friday.
In a bungalow in suburban Irving, the
only one up was Lee Harvey Oswald. He
made coffee, dressed for work, then paused
before leaving his wife, Marina, and two
young daughters. He drew most of the cash
from his pocket, removed his wedding ring
and left both behind. Gathering up a parcel
hed retrieved from the garage, he crept out.
Lee left a coffee cup in the sink, recalls
Ruth Paine, whose house Marina and the
girls were staying in. Oswald had come the
previous evening to try unsuccessfully
to reconcile with his estranged wife.
When he departed, leaving the ring, Paine
says, My guess is that he did not expect to
live.
She would later retrieve the ring for inves-
tigators, and it would nd its way into a
lawyers le for decades. Only recently was
it returned to Oswalds widow, who put the
bitter memento up for auction. In a letter,
she explained that symbolically I want to
let go of my past and what she has called
the worst day of my life. The ring sold last
month for $108,000.
Walking from Paines house, Oswald
reached the home where Buell Frazier, his
co-worker, lived. He put his parcel in
Fraziers Chevrolet for the ride to work at
the Texas School Book Depository, where
both had $1.25 an hour jobs lling orders.
Normally, Oswald would wait to be picked
up; normally, he would have carried a sack
lunch. And unlike most Fridays, he told
Frazier he would not need a ride home that
night. Then there was that package in the
backseat. When Frazier asked, Oswald said
it contained curtain rods.

TORONTO The Toronto City Council
moved a step closer to making Rob Ford a
mayor in name only following months of
publicity surrounding his excessive drink-
ing and drug use, and will look to complete
those efforts next week when council
resumes.
Ford vowed to take City Council to court
after it voted overwhelmingly Friday to
strip him of some of his powers over his
admitted use of crack cocaine, public drink-
ing and increasingly erratic behavior.
The motion, approved in a 39-3 vote, sus-
pends Fords authority to appoint and dis-
miss the deputy mayor and his executive
committee. The council, which lacks the
authority to force the mayor from ofce
unless he is convicted of a crime and jailed,
also voted to give the deputy mayor author-
ity to handle any civic emergency.
The effort will continue Monday when the
council moves to strip the mayor of most of
his remaining powers, including his ofce
budget. It would also appoint the deputy
mayor to lead of his executive committee.
That motion has already been signed by 28
of the councils 44 members.
The votes capped another frenzied week of
twists and turns in a scandal that has been
the talk of Canadas largest city and nan-
cial capital for months.
Recently released court documents show
the mayor became the subject of a police
investigation after news reports surfaced in
May that he had been caught on video smok-
ing crack cocaine. In interviews with
police, former staffers accused the mayor of
frequently drinking, driving while intoxi-
cated and making sexual advances toward a
female staffer.
Ford stirred up further controversy and
even offended Torontos football team when
he wore a team jersey while making a pro-
fanity-laced statement about the allegations
Thursday.
It has been a stunning decline for mayor
who was elected three years ago with over-
whelming support from Torontos conserva-
tive-leaning suburbs, where many voters
felt angry about what they considered waste-
ful spending and elitist politics at City
Hall.
His mood swings were on full display
Friday as he deantly vowed to ght the
motion in court, then conceded he under-
stood why the council took the measures.
Then, in a ash of remorse, the 44-year-
old Ford declared: If I would have had a
mayor conducting themselves the way I
have, I would have done exactly the same
thing. Im not mad at anybody. I take full
responsibility.
The mayor, a conservative who touts his
efforts to curb public spending and keep
taxes low, later made it clear he intends to
seek re-election next year.
Councilors spoke today. The taxpayers
of this great city will have their say Oct.
27, Ford told a crush of reporters at City
Hall, referring to next years municipal
elections. Nearby, a few hecklers shouted,
Resign! Resign!
Ford said he didnt care that many council
members were laughing at him, noting he
won a large mandate in the 2010 election
and was laughed at for years as a councilman
before being elected mayor.
They laughed at me for 13 years but for-
tunately 387,000 people never laughed at
me. Well see what happens the mayor
said.
Fords lawyer, Dennis Morris, accused the
council of attempting an illegal coup and
said Ford has hired a municipal law expert,
lawyer George Rust-DEye, to challenge it.
Council clearly has the power to amend or
appeal its own bylaws but at the same time
it doesnt have the legal power to restrict
the statutory responsibilities of the mayor
of Toronto, Rust-DEye said.
Fords brother and adviser, councilman
Doug Ford, called him the mayor of the
people and said the rights of those who
voted for him were being trampled.
Fridays vote capped a week featuring a
series of antics that outraged city coun-
cilors.
On Thursday, Ford spouted an obscenity
while denying that he pressured a female
employee for oral sex.

TACLOBAN, Philippines Aid workers,
heavy equipment and lifesaving supplies
owed into regions devastated by Typhoon
Haiyan on Monday, as a global relief effort
moved into high gear.
On the ground, there were further signs
that battered communities were beginning
to shift from survival mode to one of early
recovery: markets were beginning to
reopen, though with very limited wares,
some gasoline stations were pumping and
residents were repairing damaged homes or
making temporary shelters out of the
remains of their old ones.
The darkest night is over but its not yet
100 percent, regional military commander
Lt. Gen. Roy Deveraturda said.
The Nov. 8 typhoon killed or left missing
more than 5,000 people and left 4 million
displaced, requiring food, shelter and water.
The first week of the response was
inevitable chaotic because airports into the
region were damaged and local governance
structures shattered.
At the main airport in Tacloban, a pay
loader was shifting pallets of water and
sacks of rice to trucks. On the main road,
teams were shifting debris into trucks.
Military and civilian teams from around
the world have arrived to bolster an immedi-
ate response by local people and national
authorities.
The U.S. government and military have
been at the forefront in helping one of its
Asian allies.
Washingtons aid arm announced a further
$10 million, bringing to $37 million the
amount it is committed to spending.
