Outsourcing cops in budget
San Carlos to finalize finances before deal reached for sheriff contract

Nearly two months into the fiscal
year, the San Carlos City Council is
set to approve a budget that relies
heavily on savings from outsourc-

cuts.
Still discussing ways to fill the
budget gap, the council approved a

It’s good to be queen and, as of

Jean said that shortly after he filed his

requirements.
The BCEN ruled in his favor, Jean
asserted, but the two citizens appealed
the decision. The case was still pending
when the Haitian elections board decided
to disqualify Jean, the singer said.
It was not clear whether Jean’s legal
argument would hold up. Elections board
spokesman Richardson Dumel said that
as of Sunday afternoon, he had not seen
any paperwork from the candidate indi-
cating an appeal, but he declined to com-

in a news release issued Saturday.
Jean said he had planned to leave the
country this weekend to see his family in
New Jersey, but has decided to stay in
Haiti to see the appeal process through.
Shortly after informing the AP of his
decision Sunday morning, Jean
announced it again on his Twitter feed,
saying: “Tomorrow our Lawyers (sic) are
appealing the decision of the CEP (the
elections board). We have met all the
requirements set by the laws. And the
law must be Respected.”
Some officials in Haiti were worried
about political unrest among Jean sup-
porters after his candidacy was rejected.
But the singer had asked his fans to stay
calm, and there have been no significant
election-related protests or violence over
the weekend.

Woodside Store’s origin? Wood!
R
obert Tripp was born 1816 on a New
York farm. Leaving the rural area
when he grew up, he trained in
Massachusetts to become a dentist and prac-
ticed until word of the discovery of gold in
California reached the East Coast.
It was too much temptation for a young,
restless lad, so he left for the gold fields in
California. After arriving in San Francisco he
filled teeth for $8 each or pulled them for the
bargain price of $4 each, good money for his
day. However, the itch to find gold made him
decide to try his luck in the gold fields, but he
suffered a mishap that left him ill for a while.
In San Francisco again, he made friends
with a Matthias A. Parkhurst and a Mr. Ellis,
and they invited him to recuperate in the
warm sun in the Woodside area where they
were making shingles. He worked with them
for a while, but realized that more money was
to be made in taking the entire redwood log to

San Francisco as numerous wharves were
being constructed in the booming port of San
Francisco. Tripp and Parkhurst formed a part-
nership, along with some other individuals.
The original method of getting logs to San
Francisco was to pull them with oxen down a
very long road to the Ravenswood seaport and
float them to San Francisco. This method of
transport was very difficult and they looked
for a better way. While taking a boat down to
Monday • Aug. 23, 2010 3
Ravenswood from San Francisco, they acci-
dentally discovered a nice cove to put their
boat in one night. Exploring this cove, they
found what would later be called Redwood
Creek with a large body of deep water a short
distance inland from the main bay. The group
immediately seized upon the idea of bringing
the logs down what is now named Woodside
Road, a shorter distance than the Ravenswood
route, put them in the water in the deep chan-
nel of the Redwood Creek and float them to
San Francisco. Quite by accident, the group
had discovered an area which would later be
called Redwood City.
While not much redwood timber had been
used for early buildings, the Woodside area
had been the location where redwood trees
had been cut down for the San Jose and San
Francisco missions in the 1700s. The area had
attracted renegade Americans such as John
Coppinger, grantee of the Rancho Canada
Raymundo. He built his house in 1841 at the
corner of King’s Mountain and Woodside
Roads. The first sawmill in the area was con-
structed by Charles Brown, who was the
owner of 2,800 acres of Mountain Home
ranch in 1849. The explosive growth of the
city of San Francisco created the need for a
phenomenal amount of lumber to construct

L.A.unveils costliest school in the nation
By Christina Hoag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Next
month’s opening of the Robert F.
Kennedy Community Schools will
be auspicious for a reason other
than its both storied and infamous
history as the former Ambassador
Hotel, where the Democratic presi-
dential contender was assassinated
in 1968.
With an eye-popping price tag of
$578 million, it will mark the inau-
guration of the nation’s most expen-
sive public school ever.
The K-12 complex to house 4,200
students has raised eyebrows across
the country as the creme de la creme
of “Taj Mahal” schools, $100 mil-
lion-plus campuses boasting both
architectural panache and deluxe
amenities.
“There’s no more of the old, win-
dowless cinderblock schools of the
’70s where kids felt, ‘Oh, back to
jail,”’ said Joe Agron, editor-in-
chief of American School &
University, a school construction
journal. “Districts want a showpiece
for the community, a really impres-
sive environment for learning.”
Not everyone is similarly enthusi-
astic.
“New buildings are nice, but
when they’re run by the same peo-
ple who’ve given us a 50 percent
dropout rate, they’re a big waste of
taxpayer money,” said Ben Austin,
executive director of Parent
Revolution who sits on the
California Board of Education.
“Parents aren’t fooled.”
At RFK, the features include fine
art murals and a marble memorial
depicting the complex’s namesake,
a manicured public park, a state-of-
the-art swimming pool and preser-
vation of pieces of the original
hotel.
Partly by circumstance and partly
by design, the Los Angeles Unified
School District has emerged as the
mogul of Taj Mahals.
The RFK complex follows on the
heels of two other LA schools
among the nation’s costliest — the
$377 million Edward R. Roybal
Learning Center, which opened in
2008, and the $232 million Visual
and Performing Arts High School
that debuted in 2009.
The pricey schools have come
during a sensitive period for the
nation’s second-largest school sys-
tem: Nearly 3,000 teachers have
been laid off over the past two
years, the academic year and pro-
grams have been slashed. The dis-
trict also faces a $640 million short-
fall and some schools persistently
rank among the nation’s lowest per-
forming.
Los Angeles is not alone, howev-
er, in building big. Some of the most
expensive schools are found in low-
performing districts — New York
City has a $235 million campus;
New Brunswick, N.J., opened a
$185 million high school in
January.
Nationwide, dozens of schools
have surpassed $100 million with
amenities including atriums,
orchestra-pit auditoriums, food
courts, even bamboo nooks. The
extravagance has led some to won-
der where the line should be drawn
and whether more money should be
spent on teachers.

are only three of 131 that the district
is building to alleviate overcrowd-
ing. RFK “is an amazing facility,”
she said. “Is it a lot of money? Yes.
We didn’t like it, but they got it
done.”
Construction costs at LA Unified
are the second-highest in the nation
— something the district blames on
skyrocketing material and land
prices, rigorous seismic codes and
unionized labor.
James Sohn, the district’s chief
facilities executive, said the
megaschools were built when glob-
al raw material shortages caused
costs to skyrocket to an average of
$600 per square foot in 2006 and
2007 — triple the price from 2002.
Costs have since eased to $350 per
square foot.
On top of that, each project had
its own cost drivers.
After buildings were demolished
at the site of the 2,400-student
Roybal school, contaminated soil, a
methane gas field and an earthquake
fault were discovered. A gas mitiga-
tion system cost $17 million.
Over 20 years, the project grew to
encompass a dance studio with
cushioned maple floors, a modern
kitchen with a restaurant-quality
pizza oven, a 10-acre park and
teacher planning rooms between
classrooms.
The 1,700-student arts school was
designed as a landmark, with a
stainless steel, postmodernistic
tower encircled by a rollercoaster-
like swirl, while the RFK site
involved 15 years of litigation with
historic preservationists and Donald
Trump, who wanted to build the
world’s tallest building there. The
wrangling cost $9 million.

Fair Oaks Festival Sunday afternoon in Redwood City.

Boys and Girls Club and at the Taft homework
center.
“I never knew it would help me for college,”
she said.
A difficult part for Nuñez-Pereda was selling
raffle tickets, which help raise revenue for the
event.
“I would not go up to people to sell tickets
because I thought they’d say no. My little broth-
er pushed me; he held my hand and dragged
me,” she said adding she did car washes, wrote
letters and sold tamales to get it done.
“[Maritza is] a fabulous example of youth
who are passionate, who are compassionate.
This has transformed the lives of everyone, not
just the girls themselves, the community that
comes into contact with them. It really is trans-
formative. It’s so charming to see the transfor-
mation,” said Festival Coordinator Nancy
Sanchez.
While this is the fourth annual queen of the
festival, the festival itself has a longer history.
The celebration began as a small community
event taking up less than a block with about
1,500 people attending, explained Festival
Director Catherine Matsuyo Tompkison-
Graham. This year’s event, which included
national advertising spots, was expected to bring
40,000 patrons.
When it started, the festival was funded com-
pletely by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s

Office, but that was unsustainable. After a two-
year hiatus, the festival returned five years ago as
a benefit for youth programs offered through the
Sheriff’s Office like athletics, homework clubs,
literacy clubs, anti-drug and gang programs and
other education opportunities. Along with the re-
emergence came a public outcry for a queen —
a traditional aspect to such festivals. The idea
came to be one that would also support educa-
tional opportunities for the candidates.
Possible candidates go through a rigorous
selection process which requires maintaining
certain grades, collegiate plans and community
service. Only five young ladies can be chosen to
participate, but numerous applications are wel-
come.
Nuñez-Pereda plans to attend Notre Dame de
Namur University in the fall to study sociology
and later attend law school. Her legal interests
came from personal experiences. Nuñez-
Pereda’s family home has been broken into
twice, resulting in the loss of many of the fami-
ly’s possessions. Earlier this year, her cousin was
killed — a case which remains unsolved.
Nuñez-Pereda hopes to enter the legal profes-
sion to help people who face difficult situations
like these.
No queen would be complete without her
court. Two semi-finalists were named princesses
— Kenia Cabrera and Marie Koesnodihardjo
— which comes with a $2,500 scholarship. One
finalist, Victoria Tinoco, will receive a $1,000
scholarship.

GOP hopes statewide
slate lifts others, too
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — For the first time in mem-
ory, California Republicans have a diverse
statewide slate of candidates to field this fall,
a lineup their state party chairman calls “an
inspirational ticket.” Coupled with national
momentum for conservatives, the California
GOP is hoping this might be their break-
through year.
Yet it’s far from clear whether voters in
California, where Democrats have a nearly
15-point voter registration advantage, will see
the same glitter the GOP faithful perceive.
Their candidates have been pushing for
smaller government, fewer regulations on
businesses and lower taxes. Democrats have
countered that the Republican Party is just
promoting what it always has — a pro-busi-
ness agenda that punishes the middle class
and working class.
Despite their registration edge, the top
Democratic candidates are working hard to
retain the middle-of-the-road voters who have
helped the party dominate statewide elections
over the past two decades.

For Gulf tourism,problem is perception — not oil

BILOXI, Miss. — On the great

wait for their tour to begin.
Before Hurricane Katrina, some
200 people came each day to visit

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Light winds were
helping crews slowly surround a pair
of wildfires Sunday that have
charred big swaths of rural grass-
lands in coastal California and
forced some evacuations, including
the airlift rescue of a pair of rock
climbers nearly overcome by smoke.
The fires have done little damage
and caused no serious injuries.
A fire in northeastern San Diego
County on the edge of the Cleveland
National Forest is holding at 1,047
acres, said U.S. Forest Service
some days since BP PLC’s well
blew out in the Gulf of Mexico.
The story here is mirrored across
the Gulf Coast. Beaches have been
cleaned of crude, the leak has been
plugged and some cities never had
oil wash ashore at all. Still, tourists
stay away from what they fear are
oil-coated coastlines — a percep-
tion officials say could take years to
overcome and cost the region bil-
lions of dollars.
“We had Katrina, then the reces-
sion and now we have the oil,” said
Rick Forte, executive director of the
Beauvoir estate. “It’s hard to over-
come this when no one is coming.”

was 10 percent contained Sunday.
“We expect that number to
increase drastically,” Harris said.
“There are no open flames. The fire
is just smoldering at this point, and
crews are making solid progress.”
Ten people were airlifted out of
the area at the height of the fire
Saturday afternoon, including two
rock climbers rescued from a smoky
mountainside.
The climbers were scaling up the
slope of El Capitan Mountain when
they became shrouded in smoke.

Blagojevich won’t rule out return to politics
CHICAGO — Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich thinks
a future in politics is still a possibility.
Blagojevich said he won’t rule out another run for political
office if federal prosecutors fail to convict him at a second
trial, according to an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”
His comments came days after he was convicted of lying to
federal agents. Jurors, however, deadlocked on 23 other more
serious charges, including that he had tried to sell President
Barack Obama’s old Senate seat.
Federal prosecutors have said they will retry Blagojevich
on those charges, but the former governor insisted that he will
be vindicated.
A federal judge has scheduled a Thursday hearing to decide
the manner and timing of a retrial.
“I didn’t lie to the FBI. And I’m not lying to you, and I’m

Mosque rallies get heated
By Verena Dobnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The proposed
mosque near ground zero drew hundreds
of fever-pitch demonstrators Sunday,
with opponents carrying signs associat-
ing Islam with blood, supporters shout-
ing, “Say no to racist fear!” and
American flags waving on both sides.
The two leaders of the construction
project, meanwhile, defended their
plans, though one suggested that organ-
izers might eventually be willing to dis-
cuss an alternative site. The other, Imam
Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle
East trip that the attention generated by
the project is actually positive and that
he hopes it will bring greater under-
standing.
Around the corner from the cordoned-
off old building that is to become a 13-
story Islamic community center and
mosque, police separated the two groups
of demonstrators. There were no reports
of physical clashes but there were some
nose-to-nose confrontations, including a
man and a woman screaming at each
other across a barricade under a steady
rain.
Opponents of the $100 million proj-
ect two blocks from the World Trade
Center site appeared to outnumber sup-
porters. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in
the USA” blared over loudspeakers as
mosque opponents chanted, “No

Signs hoisted by dozens of protesters
standing behind police barricades read
“SHARIA” — using dripping, blood-
red letters to describe Islam’s Shariah
law, which governs the behavior of
Muslims.
Steve Ayling, a 40-year-old Brooklyn
plumber who carried his sign to a dry
spot by an office building, said the peo-
ple behind the mosque project are “the
same people who took down the twin
towers.”
Opponents demand that the mosque
be moved farther from the site where
more than 2,700 people were killed on
Sept. 11, 2001. “They should put it in
the Middle East,” Ayling said.

Double jeopardy
T
wenty-seven years ago, in
September 1984, the
unthinkable happened in a
lovely upscale San Mateo neigh-
borhood. A young man killed his
father, then his mother. He was
tried for murder twice and twice he
prevailed. In the first trial, the jury
deadlocked 7-5 for conviction. In
the second, he was acquitted and
walked away a free man.
For those who knew Russel
Glasgal and his parents, Robert (an
orthodontist) and Sondra (an artist),
it was unbelievable. The news of
the double murder broke in the
morning paper of Sept. 17, 1983 as
members of the Jewish community
were preparing to attend the most
holy of their holidays, Yom Kippur.
The Glasgals were members of
Temple Beth El. They lived close
by on Foothill Drive. People were
in shock that this dreadful crime
could have occurred. At morning
services, the buzz was that the
Glasgals’ son, Russel, was missing.
But at the time no one thought of
him as the perpetrator. Not even his
sister or brother. His sister was
away at college at the time but his
younger brother was a student at
Aragon High School. He was the
one who found the bodies when he
returned from school.
***
While cleaning out some old
files, I came across a frayed news-
paper article, dated Jan. 11, 1985.
The second trial had just concluded
and Russel was free. The story was
of particular interest because I
knew the family. I used to play ten-
nis with Mrs. Glasgal. Russel was
in the same class as one of my chil-
dren. I saw the family on and off
over the years. I last saw Russel
and his mom about a week before
the murders. I went over to say
hello and Russel could not have
been more polite. “How are you,
Mrs. Lempert? How’s the family?”
The news of the double murder broke in the
morning paper of Sept. 17, 1983 as members of the
Jewish community were preparing to attend the
most holy of their holidays, Yom Kippur.
He had grown into a very hand-
some and well-behaved young
man.
***
At the first trial, Russel’s brother
and sister testified on his behalf.
The family even hired a lawyer to
defend him. There was no physical
evidence to link Glasgal to the
crimes, but he became a suspect
because statements by his brother
and other family members led
police to believe he was expected
home to celebrate the Jewish holi-
days. Russel was not at services.
Instead, he was with his girlfriend.
He was arrested three days later by
police at the Fantasy Inn in South
Lake Tahoe.
Russel had been a student at
USC. He was majoring in business
and even started a small company
on the side. When that started to
fail, he obtained money from his
father to bail him out. In the mean-
time, he had acquired a girlfriend
his parents did not like.
Supposedly, Russel was into gam-
bling and drugs. When his parents
discovered he had used his tuition
money to invest in his business and
gambling, they stopped providing
him with funds and made him
return home. Back in the house on
Foothill Drive, he was kept on a
short leash. He was not allowed to
contact friends or drive the family
car. Prosecutors maintained that he
killed his parents in a desperate
attempt to get out from under the
tight restrictions. But the police
had no hard evidence. Russel’s fin-
gerprints were all over the house
because he had been living there.
OPINION
The supposed murder weapon, a
lead pipe, was never found. District
Attorney Jim Fox tried both cases
and recently told me that the out-
come might have been different if
DNA had been available. The pros-
ecutors and police were dumb-
founded at the jury’s verdict. He
not only got away with one murder,
but two. And how the jury could
have believed Russel’s alibi is a
mystery. But he was a very con-
vincing witness. By the way, he
was also a semi-professional magi-
cian and did magic shows for pay
while in high school.
***
Here’s the story that Russel told
on the stand. His father felt sorry
for him and knew that Russel had
planned a weekend in Tahoe with
his girlfriend. Dr. Glasgal provided
him with one of his business credit
cards to use (Russel allegedly ran
up over $1,000 on the card during
the post murder spree in Tahoe).
They decided to keep it a secret
because his mother did not
approve.
What did he do the morning of
the crime? Russel said he drove
down to Half Moon Bay, took off
his clothes except for his briefs,
and left them on the beach with his
car keys. He played some football
with people he did not know and
when he returned to pick up his
stuff, it was gone except for the car
keys. He had left his wallet in the
car and also some old clothes. He
then drove to pick up his girlfriend
who was staying in a hotel near the
airport. They drove to Tahoe where
he remained until he was arrested.
What happened to the clothes on
the beach? (Maybe the same thing
that happened to O.J. Simpson’s
bloody clothes).
By the time of the second trial,
the siblings (as well as friends and
family) were convinced Russel had
murdered their parents. Russel had
his brother lie on his behalf in the
first trial threatening to commit sui-
cide if his brother did not say
Russel had a good relationship with
his parents. The jurors, during the
second trial, did not believe the
brother and sister. They believed,
with urging from the defense attor-
ney, that they turned on Russel
because they wanted to exclude
him from his parents’ estate. There
was a third trial, a civil one, over
money. Russel did not obtain a
third of the estate but that was not
much consolation for his bereaved
and traumatized family. It is
believed that the two Glasgal chil-
dren now reside in Southern
California but no one knows where
Russel is. Maybe he is writing a
thriller, “How I Killed My Parents
and Got Away With It.”

The benefits of ‘marriage’
Editor,
I trust that in his letter Tony
Favero, “Judge Walker’s legal blun-
ders,” in the Aug. 20 edition of The
Daily Journal, truly believes that
California voters have enacted all
the equivalent widespread benefits
and protections as marriage. I pre-
sume he is happy to forgo filing
federal taxes jointly as a married
couple being that my husband and
I do not have this benefit. He won’t
mind paying federal income taxes
on the imputed value of health ben-
efits his employer provides to his
spouse.
Likewise, he won’t mind forfeit-
ing surviving spouse receipt of
social security benefits which is
also something we cannot enjoy. If
he and his spouse, presuming he is
mind not having access to all these
rights and responsibilities. Except,
of course, that I am sure he would
mind.
So I suggest that as long as
“marriage” confers civil benefits
that “domestic partnership” does
not, he should think before pro-
nouncing on a federal judge’s find-
ings of inequality.

minds, and, some say, logic. Treasury
bonds maturing in 20 years or more
have returned 21 percent so far this
year. By contrast, stocks in the Dow
Jones industrial average have lost 2 per-
cent.
The question now: Is it too late to
jump into the great government bond
bonanza?
To bulls, the rally is still in its early
stages. They say the weak economy
will cause stocks to keep falling and
people to seek the safety of U.S. gov-
ernment debt. Reports this past week of
unexpectedly high unemployment
claims and a manufacturing slowdown
in the mid-Atlantic region helped bol-
ster their case.
But others say Treasury prices have
risen too high, perhaps even to bubble
proportions. The thinking goes that
investors could dump Treasurys as
quickly as they bought them on even a
whiff of inflation. Inflation is bad for
bonds because it eats into principal.
Bonds are generally regarded as safer
than stocks because you get your
money back when they mature. But
that’s only true if you pay face value. If
you buy when prices are higher, say
$101 for a $100 bond, you’ll get $1 less
than you put in. In purchasing power,
you get back even less thanks to infla-
tion. But bonds, of course, also pay
interest, and this can more than make
up the difference.
The problem is, bond bears argue, the
interest isn’t compensating you much
now. The yield on 10-year Treasurys,
which moves opposite its price, stands
at 2.61 percent, a low not seen since
early 2009 during the depths of the
credit crisis. At that rate, it would take
you 27 years to double your money.
“In the long run we don’t think you’ll
make a good return” in government
bonds, says Mark Phelps, CEO of
money manager W.P. Stewart & Co.,
citing the low yields.
Phelps suggests that investors wor-
ried about a stalled recovery should
stick to stocks of big, conservative
companies with little debt and fat divi-
dends. Though you can still get hurt if
their stocks fall, at least the dividends
will help compensate.
An added appeal: The dividends
offered by such blue chips are higher
than current 10-year Treasury yields.
PepsiCo Inc., for instance, will pay
you $3 annually now for every $100
you invest — nearly 50 cents more than
Washington pays for holding your
money for 10 years. What’s more, the
stock is trading at 14.5 times estimated
annual earnings. The median, or mid-
point, over the past 20 years is 23 times
estimated earnings, meaning the stock
is cheap, at least by this one measure.
Phelps also likes Procter & Gamble
Co. stock. It pays you even more than
Pepsi — $3.20 a year for every $100
invested. The maker of Pampers diapers
and Pringles chips trades at 14.8 times
estimated earnings, a discount to its 19
median.
“To put all in Treasurys, looks like a
mistake to us,” says Phelps, whose firm
manages $1.5 billion. But he adds, “I
would have said that at the beginning of
the year, and I would have been wrong.”

Farms recalling eggs share suppliers,other ties

By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Two Iowa farms
that recalled more than a half-billion
eggs linked to as many as 1,300 cases of
salmonella poisoning share suppliers of
chickens and feed as well as ties to an
Iowa business routinely cited for violat-
ing state and federal law.
Food and Drug Administration investi-
gators have yet to determine the cause of
the salmonella outbreaks at Wright
County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The
FDA investigation could take months,
and sources of contamination are often
difficult to find. The number of illnesses,
which can be life-threatening, especially
to those with weakened immune sys-
tems, is expected to increase. The most
common symptoms are diarrhea,
abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72
hours of eating a contaminated product.
The company Quality Egg supplies
young chickens and feed to both Wright
County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The
two share other suppliers, said Jewanna
Porter, a spokeswoman for the egg
industry, but she did not name them.
The egg industry has consolidated
over recent years, placing fewer, larger
businesses in control over much of the
nation’s egg supply to consumers.
The salmonella outbreak has raised
questions about federal inspections of
egg farms. The FDA oversees inspec-
tions of shell eggs, while the Agriculture
Department is in charge of inspecting
other egg products.
William D. Marler, a Seattle attorney
for a person who filed suit alleging ill-
ness from tainted eggs in a salad at a
restaurant in Kenosha, Wis., said Sunday
his firm has been retained by two dozen
families and was representing a woman
who was hospitalized in California.
“The history of ignoring the law
makes the sickening of 1,300 and the
forced recall of 550 million eggs shock-
ingly understandable,” Marler said in an
e-mail to The Associated Press. “You
have to wonder where the USDA and
FDA inspectors were.”
Businessman Austin “Jack” DeCoster
owns Wright County Egg and Quality
Egg. Wright County Egg recalled 380
million eggs Aug. 13 after it was linked
to more than 1,000 cases of salmonella
poisoning. A week later, Hillandale
Farms recalled 170 million eggs.

Busch saves the day for Earthquakes

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It’s been an up-and-down year for
the San Jose Earthquakes — but
they might just have hit their peak.
In what has to be seen as one of
the biggest wins since their return to
Major League Soccer, San Jose
scored early and held on to beat the
L.A. Galaxy, the team with the best
record in MLS, 1-0, in front a
record crowd at Buck Shaw stadi-
um.
The win, coupled with a Colorado
loss, propels the Quakes right back
into the playoff picture with 29
points.
“For us to get a clean sheet
against a team like that, it shows the
character we have in our dressing
room right now,” said San Jose head
coach Frank Yallop. “We picked up
three valuable points today. It’s not
about how you do it, it’s about get-
ting it done.”
How they did it shouldn’t come as
a surprise anymore to anyone that
follows the league — with their 8th
home shutout in 2010 the Quakes
have demonstrated that there might
be a tougher team to score on at
home than San Jose.
In their latest win the defensive
conversation begins and ends with
goalkeeper Jon Busch, who was
anointed the starter earlier this week
after Joe Cannon went down with
an ankle injury.
The nine-year MLS veteran was
superb between the posts for the
Earthquakes, making several key
saves including a pair on Landon
Donovan, the U.S team star, who is
loved and hated around theses parts.
“We knew we could play with
them,” Busch said. “They’re proba-
bly the best team in the league right
now (but) we knew we could com-
pete with them.”
Call it the rivalry, or maybe it’s
that San Jose knew that Saturday
marked a big stretch of games that
could determine their postseason
aspirations, but the Quakes seem to
have a little extra in the tank when
they’ve played against the Galaxy.
Saturday marked the second time

Piniella: Rookie
Goodbye masters
baseball
By Rick Gano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — After all the wins,

all the losses and all those argu-
ments, Lou Piniella clearly felt it
was time to leave.
Saying the final goodbye after a
half-century in baseball, that was the
hard part.
“I cried a little bit after the game.
You get emotional. I’m sorry, I’m
not trying to be,” the Chicago Cubs
manager said Sunday, his eyes tear-
ing up again and his voice cracking.
“This will be the last time I put on
my uniform,” he said.
The 66-year-old Piniella
announced before the Cubs-Atlanta
game that he was retiring immedi-
ately after it was over and planning
to spend more time with his ailing
mother.
“My mom needs me home and
that’s where I’m going,” Piniella
said.
The Cubs didn’t do him many
favors on the field in his wrapup,
losing 16-5 to the Braves. He was in
the dugout when it ended, and he
waved his hat across the field to his
friend, longtime Atlanta manager
Bobby Cox, who has said this is his
last season.
The Cubs gave up 11 runs over the
final three innings to fall 23 games
under .500. Many in the crowd of
37,518 had already left Wrigley
Field when Sam Fuld grounded into
a game-ending double play.

Giants
By R.B. Fallstrom
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Jaime Garcia piled up the
outs so fast, the St. Louis Cardinals had to let
the rookie finish.
The 24-year-old left-hander threw a three-
hitter for his first career shutout, and first out-
ing longer than seven innings, in a 9-0 victory
over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
The Cardinals have been babying Garcia
along after he pitched only 37 2-3 innings last
season in the minors coming off elbow recon-
struction surgery. Learning from experience,
Garcia said he didn’t peek at the scoreboard to
check his pitch count.
“I’m doing a lot better at that, not thinking
about things like that,” Garcia said. “That gets
you out of the game. Just focus on the next
pitch you’re going to make and that’s it.”
Garcia’s the first Cardinals rookie to throw a
shutout since Bud Smith’s no-hitter at San
Diego on Sept. 3, 2001, and the first to do it at
home since Jose Jimenez on July 5, 1999,
against Arizona.
Fellow rookie Allen Craig hit a two-run
home run and had three RBIs for the
Cardinals. Jon Jay had three hits and an RBI
and Brendan Ryan and Yadier Molina each
had two hits and an RBI.
St. Louis knocked out Barry Zito in the
fourth inning, rebounding from a five-game
losing streak to take two of three from the
Giants.

Rays,Garza hold off A’s and Braden for 3-2 win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Matt Garza is so focused on
getting Tampa Bay back into the postseason
that even a questionable balk call couldn’t
knock the Rays’ righty out of his groove.
Garza shrugged off his lone mistake of the
afternoon that led to Oakland’s only run
against him and pitched into the eighth inning
for his career-high 13th win, leading Tampa
Bay to a 3-2 victory over the Athletics on
Sunday.
Garza (13-7) scattered four hits over 7 2-3
innings and came out on top in a matchup
between pitchers who threw no-hitters this
season. Oakland’s Dallas Braden, who threw a
perfect game against the Rays on May 9,
allowed only four hits — but three runs.
“You’re going to get upset (but) I didn’t
think I was in the wrong,” said Garza, who
had three strikeouts and three walks. “I had to
keep going and couldn’t let that bother me. I
really had to go after guys.”
Evan Longoria hit a tiebreaking two-run
double in the sixth as the Rays secured a split
of the four-game series. Carl Crawford sin-
gled twice and scored for the Rays, who
remained one game behind the New York
Yankees in the AL East.
Garza went into a mini-tailspin after no-hit-
ting Detroit on July 26 and lost two of his next
three starts. He’s rebounded nicely since,
pitching seven scoreless innings to beat Texas
on Tuesday then handcuffing Oakland on
Sunday.
The right-hander cruised through the first
four innings, allowing only a pair of singles,
before briefly losing control and composure in
See A’S, Page 15
“Long day for the guys out there,” manager
Bruce Bochy said. “You can’t let a game or
two get you down. We’re headed home. We
hope to play better.”
Garcia (11-6) was razor sharp working on
regular rest after getting two extra days the
previous two outings, facing one batter over
the minimum while striking out six. He did
not walk a batter and needed only 89 pitches.
Prior to Sunday, he had never pitched in the
eighth.
When Garcia came to the plate in the bot-
tom of the eighth, he got a standing ovation.
He made one of the best defensive plays to
start the ninth, snaring Juan Uribe’s hot come-

also it’s a good day to forget,”
Piniella said.
Third base coach Mike Quade
was promoted to interim manager,
getting the nod over bench coach
Alan Trammell, who was thought
to have been a candidate to succeed
Piniella next season. But general
manager Jim Hendry said
Trammell was not going to be con-
sidered for the job, so Quade was
selected to finish out the season.
Speculation is rampant that former
Cubs star Ryne Sandberg, now
their Triple-A manager, will be
hired.
From the start, it was an emo-
tional day for a man known for his
fiery ways as a player, manager and
executive for 48 years.
Piniella teared up at home plate
when the umpires wished him well
with his mom. He shook hands
with Cox after they reached the
plate, hugged each other and
exchanged back slaps as Piniella’s
No. 41 was posted on the center-
field scoreboard.
Cox was announced to the crowd
and took his cap off and waved it to
the fans.
Then the public address
announcer ran down Piniella’s
achievements as he stood at the
plate, and scattered cheers of
“Louuu” could be heard through-
out the crowd.
After Piniella and Cox posed for
a picture with the umpires, the
managers hugged each other again.
Piniella then headed to the dugout
and, as the cheers got louder, took
off his cap, waved it to the crowd
and began to clap for the fans.
When Piniella made the first of
three trips to the mound in the sev-
enth inning to change pitchers, fans
behind the dugout gave him a
standing ovation as he came off the
field and he acknowledged them
with a little wave of his hand.
Piniella said last month he
planned to retire at the end of the
season and reiterated his plans just
SPORTS
Saturday. But he missed four
games in August to be with his
mom in Florida and decided this
weekend his divided attention was-
n’t helping anyone.
“She hasn’t gotten any better
since I’ve been here,” said Piniella,
who turns 67 on Saturday. “She’s
had a couple other complications,
and rather than continue to go
home, come back, it’s not fair to
the team, it’s not fair to the players.
So the best thing is just to step down
and go home and take care of my
mother.”
The surprising announcement was
made in a team handout Sunday
morning after Piniella had repeatedly
insisted he would finish the season.
Cox empathized with his counter-
part.
“It’s in your blood that long, but
Lou’s mom is in ill health,” Cox said
before the game. “It’s a sad day for
me because I kept on thinking that
Lou would be back, not here but
somewhere else.”
Piniella met with his team to let
them know he was leaving and it was
very emotional, despite the Cubs’
terribly disappointing season — two
years after they had the best record in
the NL.
“I wish we would’ve played better
for him,” reliever Sean Marshall
said.
“You hate to see stuff like that. You
hate to see a grown man kind of tear
up like that, it just shows his heart for
winning and his drive for baseball
and his family.”
Piniella finished with an overall
record was 1,835-1,713. He trailed
only Tony La Russa, Cox and Joe
Torre in victories among active man-
agers.
Piniella’s record with the Cubs
was 316-293. Under the mellowed
skipper, Chicago won consecutive
NL Central titles in 2007-08, but
missed the playoffs last year and
slipped back even further this season
with a new owner, Tom Ricketts, in
charge.
“I’ve enjoyed it here,” Piniella
said. “In four wonderful years I’ve
made a lot of friends and had some
success here, this year has been a lit-
tle bit of a struggle. But, look.
Family is important, it comes first.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
In 18 years in the majors as a play-
er — he had a .291 career batting
average — and another 23 as a man-
ager, Piniella made five trips to the
World Series and has three champi-
onship rings. He began his profes-
sional playing career in 1962.
“It’s a very tough day for him, very
emotional,” Hendry said of the man
he hired four years ago to replace
Dusty Baker. “There has been some
times the last couple of months
where he knew his family was possi-
bly going to need him. He certainly
didn’t want to go out before the end
of the year, but it’s just at the point
now where he need to be home with
his mother and his family.”
Piniella began managing in 1986
with the Yankees and lasted three
years, including a stint as general
manager. He managed the Reds
from 1990-92, leading them to a
World Series championship in his
first season. He also got national
attention during his time there for a
clubhouse wrestling match with
reliever Rob Dibble, who down-
played the incident and said “we’ve
been family ever since.”

Niners beat Vikes,Favre in preseason
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Brett
Favre completed one pass and also
got clobbered on a sack that lost
Minnesota 10 yards.
Favre’s highly anticipated first
game back with the Vikings lasted
all of four unspectacular plays and
one series in a 15-10 loss to the
49ers in a nationally televised pre-
season game Sunday at Candlestick
Park, the only NFL show of the
night.
Favre completed a 13-yard pass to
Adrian Peterson on his first play
from scrimmage but was sacked by
Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis
two plays later and the Vikings
wound up punting. The 40-year-old
quarterback took the field just four
days after his first training camp
practice of the year. He decided to

Nothing on line this time as Young, Leinart meet
By Teresa M. Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — At least
this time, Matt Leinart knows he’ll
be starting for Arizona against
Vince Young’s Tennessee Titans.
The NFL script hasn’t gone the
way many expected for either of the
top two quarterbacks drafted in
2006. Leinart found himself back-
ing up Kurt Warner since 2008 and
now has the starting job back with
the veteran’s retirement. Young was
on the bench himself last year until
the Titans’ 0-6 start pushed him
back onto the field.
The two former collegiate super-
stars go against each other again
Monday night, even though briefly,
when the Cardinals visit Tennessee
on Monday night. This also will be
the first game at LP Field since
flood waters engulfed it and the
parking lots in May.
Leinart started against Tennessee
on Nov. 29 in the Cardinals’ first
trip to LP Field only because Kurt
Warner, now retired, was a late
scratch with concussion symptoms.
Now the 10th overall pick in 2006
yet another run
at a Super Bowl
title.
It’s hard to
make much of
the small sam-
pling. Not that
Favre’s numbers
mattered to the
Alex Smith Vikings, just
thrilled to have
him back.
Alex Smith, Favre’s 49ers coun-
terpart, went 9 of 13 for 88 yards in
a solid first half. Willis had four
tackles playing only nine snaps.
After that single series, Favre
headed to the bench and gave way
to backup Tarvaris Jackson — who
had been in line to be the starter
before Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell
and Steve Hutchinson flew to
Mississippi early last week to
recruit Favre back to the Twin
Cities. Favre, sporting a 5-o’clock
Matt Leinart and Vince Young
out of Southern California is trying
to earn the starter’s job again.
“They’re a good football team
and they play well in the preseason.
They show a lot of looks on
defense,” Leinart said. “It’s going
to be a challenge for us. ...
Tennessee, they’ll throw 10 or 15
different coverages in the preseason
on you. It’s going to be good for us.
It’s going to be good for me to try
to decipher the defense and get the
ball out to the right guy.
“I just want to go out there and
start fast.”
Leinart has 17 starts with 29
career games and a 7-10 record.
Those numbers pale compared to

with two Pro Bowl appearances. He

shadow peppered with gray, could
be seen laughing on the sideline in
the second half.
Smith bounced back a week after
stumbling through a subpar outing
in which he completed 3 of 9 passes
for 37 yards and only two first
downs in a win at Indianapolis.
David Carr and Nate Davis rallied
the Niners to 34 straight points in
the 37-17 victory.
He made do for a 49ers offense
missing three of its biggest stars:
receiver Michael Crabtree, tight end
Vernon Davis and running back
Frank Gore.
“We just came out against the No.
1 rush defense in the NFL and
marched it down the field,” Smith
said. “We were moving the chains
and getting a bunch of third-down
conversions and just took it down
the field methodically.”
Smith completed his first four
passes for 48 yards and 5 of his first
has a better passer rating and has
thrown for more yards (6,843-
3,893). Both have more career
interceptions than touchdowns,
though Young has nearly twice as
more of both than Leinart (32-39,
14-20).
Young, the third overall pick in
2006 out of Texas, got the better of
Leinart yet again in November. He
drove the Titans 99-yards over the
final 2:37 to pull out a 20-17 win
over the guy he beat back in the BCS
national championship in 2006.
Leinart admitted feeling a bit of
deja vu then watching Young beat
him with another late drive. This
game obviously is different.
“The mindset this year is a lot
different. ... I’ve never really
thought about last year. It has no
bearing on this game. I just want to
go out there and start fast,” Leinart
said.
That’s because the Cardinals (1-
0) didn’t score against Houston
until the backups came in to pull
out a 19-16 win. Leinart played
well enough, completing 6-of-7 for
49 yards, without any points.
Leinart will be without two of his
six on the Niners’ opening drive,
including a 24-yard strike to backup
tight end Delanie Walker that set up
a 4-yard scoring run by rookie
Anthony Dixon.
After all the drama that surrounds
Favre each offseason — will he or
won’t he really retire? — he’s back
in his No. 4 jersey and told his
teammates he’s as committed to this
as ever. And why not keep going?
Favre is coming off a year in
which he threw for 4,202 yards and
33 touchdowns and established
career highs for completion rate
(68.4), quarterback rating (107.2)
and fewest interceptions (seven).
He was booed by the crowd
Sunday when running onto the field
for the first time midway through
the first quarter. Favre has been the
Niners’ nemesis for years.
In late September last year, Favre
hit Greg Lewis on a 32-yard touch-
down with 2 seconds left as the
top three receivers. Larry Fitzgerald
is recovering from a sprained right
knee with Early Doucet out with an
abdominal strain. Also out is inside
linebacker Gerald Hayes missed
camp, which broke Saturday in
Arizona, and is recovering from
back surgery.
Young has the stronger position.
He came off the bench and led the
Titans to an 8-2 finish last season,
which has erased any questions
about who the starter is this season.
His challenge now is picking up
where he left off and show
improvement in his fifth NFL sea-
son.
He is coming off a solid presea-
son debut where he completed his
first five passes before being inter-
cepted at the end of his second
series played. He drove the Titans
down on the opening drive for Chris
Johnson’s 1-yard TD run. But the
Titans (0-1) lost at Seattle 20-18.
“Great to be at home before the
fans,” Young said. “We’ve got some

Vikings stunned San Francisco 27-
24 in Minneapolis. That was the
first of six straight road losses —
five in a row by a combined 19
points — for the 49ers that helped
cost them a playoff trip and a win-
ning season.
Davis, San Francisco’s No. 3 QB
and fifth-round pick last year, com-
pleted a pretty 60-yard pass to Ted
Ginn Jr. in the third quarter with his
foot planted at the goal line when he
released the ball. The pass set up
Joe Nedney’s 28-yard field goal.
Davis later had an 18-yard comple-
tion to Nate Byham.
Longwell kicked a 40-yard field
goal early in the second quarter for
the Vikings’ first points. Minnesota
rookie quarterback Joe Webb broke

LP Field hosted concerts in June
as part of the CMA Music Fest, but
Monday night will be the Titans’
first game since the flooding.

locker rooms and carpeting.
“People worked tirelessly to keep
it under control so we were very
fortunate,” Fisher said.
Last November wasn’t Arizona
coach Ken Whisenhunt’s first visit
to LP Field. He remembers Leinart
putting the Cardinals in position to
beat a hot team.
“That’s a tough place to play. I’ve
played there a number of times
before. To have that opportunity to
win that game I thought was a good
indication of where our team was,”
Whisenhunt said.
With the NFL sending Arizona to
Chicago on Saturday for the
Cardinals’ next preseason game,
Monday night’s game will be a
prelude to a joint practice
Wednesday between the teams.

Power pads series lead with win at Sonoma

By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA — Will Power has

won at the track he had to be airlift-
ed from a year ago, padding his
IndyCar Series lead with a dominat-
ing run Sunday at Infineon
Raceway.
Power never made it to race day
in 2009, his weekend and season
over with a practice session crash
that left him with a broken back.
Other than a few first-day jitters
early in the week, the Team Penske
driver never showed any sign of fear
in his return to Sonoma. Power set
an IndyCar record with his eighth
pole of 2010 on Saturday and led 73
of 75 laps over the technically
demanding 2.303-mile circuit
through the hills of the California
wine country.
Power pushed his series lead to 59
points over Dario Franchitti, who
finished third behind Scott Dixon.
Ryan Briscoe was fourth.

the fifth.
After the A’s loaded the bases
with one out on a single, walk and
error, home plate umpire James
Hoye called a balk on Garza, forc-
ing in Landon Powell with the tying
run. A visibly frustrated Garza
walked to home plate with his arms
wide apart and talked briefly with
Hoye before going back to the
mound where he was met by Jason
Bartlett, who tried to calm his team-
mate down.
It worked.
Garza retired the next two batters
to get out of the jam then settled
into another groove before leaving
with a runner on and two outs in the
eighth.
“That was a big moment,” Tampa
Bay manager Joe Maddon said.
“Garza is emotional and I thought
he held it together pretty well
because I ran out there quickly. I
was impressed with his ability to be
able get a strikeout against a good
hitter.”
This marked the second time this
season and the third time in 20 years
that two pitchers have faced each
other after throwing no-hitters earli-
er in the year. Arizona’s Edwin
Jackson and Roy Halladay of
Philadelphia pitched against each
other July 28.
Braden (8-9) lost for only the sec-
ond time in six starts.
“They’re still the potent lineup
they’ve been,” Braden said. “I don’t
see any need for them to stray from
their approach. We didn’t win so (I)
wasn’t good enough, period.”
Joaquin Benoit recorded one out
while Rafael Soriano struck out
Cliff Pennington with the tying run
on second in the ninth for his 37th
save in 39 tries. The 37 saves ties
Soriano with San Diego’s Heath
Bell for most in the majors.
Braden didn’t get much support
from his teammates. The A’s, who
were held to one hit by Toronto’s
Shaun Marcum on Monday before
going on a four-game winning
streak, didn’t get a runner to second
base after the fifth inning.
Kelly Shopach’s RBI double in
the third gave the Rays a 1-0 lead.
After Garza’s balk tied the score,
Tampa Bay scored twice off Braden
in the sixth. Bartlett walked and
Crawford singled before Longoria’s
two-run double.
Tampa Bay scored its first run in
the second after Sean Rodriguez hit
a leadoff single and scored on Kelly
Shoppach’s double to right-center.
Powell and Gabe Gross had two
hits apiece for the A’s.
NOTES: All-Star closer Andrew
Bailey pitched the ninth inning after
being reinstated from the disabled
list. Bailey had been sidelined with
a right intercostal strain. RHP Ross
Wolf was optioned to Triple-A
Sacramento to make room. ... The

streak in the AL since Baltimore in

Stallone’s ‘Expendables’retains crown
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone’s
“The Expendables” fought off an onslaught of
newcomers to finish on top of the weekend
box office again.
Lionsgate’s “The Expendables” remained
No. 1 for a second straight weekend with
$16.5 million, according to studio estimates
Sunday. Directed by and starring Stallone, the
action romp about mercenaries aiming to
overthrow a dictator raised its total to $64.9
million.
Five new wide releases debuted to crowd
the market, but none managed to pack in huge
audiences and knock off “The Expendables.”
“Given all that competition in the market-
place, I don’t think there was any guarantee
we would hold this strong, but we did,” said
David Spitz, head of distribution for
Lionsgate.
Leading the newcomers was 20th Century
Fox’s “Twilight” spoof “Vampires Suck” with
$12.2 million, raising its total to $18.6 million
since it opened Wednesday. The movie mocks
the blockbuster franchise with a parody about
a moody schoolgirl in a love triangle with a
vampire and a werewolf.
“Vampires Suck” was in a photo finish for
the No. 2 spot with another holdover, Julia
Roberts’ drama “Eat Pray Love.” The Sony
film about a divorced woman traveling the
world in search of fulfillment pulled in $12
million to lift its total to $47.1 million.
The Warner Bros. comedy “Lottery Ticket,”
featuring rapper Bow Wow as a young man
besieged by neighbors after he wins a $370
million jackpot, opened in fourth place with
$11.1 million.
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s cop com-
edy “The Other Guys” held up well in its third
weekend, with the Sony release taking in
$10.1 million and boosting its total to $88.2
million.
“The Other Guys” was in a tossup for No. 5
with the Weinstein Co. horror remake
“Piranha 3D,” which opened with $10 million.
Inspired by the low-budget 1978 “Piranha,”
the update is set at a lake where spring-break
partiers are consumed by prehistoric man-eat-
ing fish.

Returns,” with Emma Thompson back as the

homely title character whipping a wartime
family into shape, opened at No. 7 with $8.3
million. The first film, 2006’s “Nanny
McPhee,” debuted in fewer theaters but man-
aged to pull in $14.5 million over opening
weekend.
Bringing up the rear among new wide
releases at No. 8 was Jennifer Aniston’s sin-
gle-mom comedy “The Switch,” which
debuted with $8.1 million. The Disney release
features Aniston as a woman whose drunken
friend (Jason Bateman) switches her sperm
specimen at a party to celebrate her artificial
insemination.
Surprisingly, the overall box office was
down only slightly compared with the same
weekend last year, when “Inglourious
Basterds” fired up the normally quiet late
summer with a $38.1 million opening and
“District 9” held up well with an $18.2 million
second weekend.
Revenues this weekend came in at $125
million, down just 1.7 percent from the same
weekend a year ago, according to box-office
tracker Hollywood.com.
“It was the collective strength of these five
newcomers, plus the holdovers,” said Paul
Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com.
“Inglourious Basterds” and “District 9” were
“so unusually strong for August that it should
have made the comparison tough for this year.
But the industry threw everything they had at
the wall this weekend and tried to see what
would stick.”

Dad had his weak suits, with auto and
home repair among them. If the car was
squeaking or the roof was leaking, his
approach was to wait and hope the situa-
tion improved. Of course, it didn’t. The
squeaking brake pads wore down to the
rotors and the leak got moldy (ca-ching).
Many people take this same approach with
their pets’ issues. The problem just might
work itself out on its own, they reason. In
reality, the opposite happens. Problem
behaviors such as barking, jumping up,
inappropriate elimination and mild aggres-
sion are reinforced as acceptable behaviors
in your pet’s mind if you let them slide.
Some people don’t know where to turn for
help, some believe help will cost too much,
while others are just too lazy. PHS/SPCA
can help with the first two groups. For 15
years, we’ve offered a free Animal
Behavior Helpline to the public. Call
650/340-7022, ext. 783 and leave a mes-
sage describing your pet’s problematic or
confusing behaviors. We’ll call back, usu-
ally within 24 hours, with expert advice. If
the issue is advanced, owners may want to
bring their dog to the shelter for a private
consultation with our behaviorist. As our
mission states, we help people enjoy better
relationships with their pets. To book a
consultation, call 650/340-7022, ext. 667.

Viernes of Half Moon Bay High won a

tion June 7 at Club Fugazi in San Francisco.
The award, given for her dance performed to
“I Dreamed a Dream,” was made by The
Steve Silver Foundation and Beach
Blanket Babylon’s "Scholarship for the
Arts."
Viernes said, “It was such an honor
dancing on that same stage that many
other talented people performed on.
Dancing at Beach Blanket was an amazing
experience that I will never forget.” Her
dance teacher Shely Pack-Manning said,
“Lexi is a joy to teach because she dances
from her heart. She brings tears to my
eyes, not only when I watch her on stage
but also when I work with her in the stu-
dio. She is special.” Lexi Viernes of Half Moon Bay accepts a check

Faith Evans arrested on
drunken driving charge
LOS ANGELES — Grammy-
winning singer Faith Evans has been
arrested after being stopped at a
drunken driving checkpoint in the
Los Angeles area.
Officer Cleon Joseph of the LAPD
says the 37-year-old Evans was
arrested Saturday night near Marina
del Rey on suspicion of misde-
meanor drunken driving. He says
Evans was held for a few hours and
released on bail Sunday morning.
Her car was impounded.
The R&B singer is the widow of
rapper Christopher Wallace, also
known as the Notorious B.I.G. She
won a Grammy in 1998 for the song
“I’ll Be Missing You.”
A reality series chronicling Evans’
life is reportedly in production, and
a new album is scheduled for release
in October.

HISTORY

buildings and Woodside was the closest
area that could supply the wood. In
addition to the tremendous growth of
San Francisco, the city burned down
several times between 1850 and 1852.
Every rebuilding of the city required
lumber.
Woodside became a thriving village
and the stagecoach began arriving in
1852. The business of cutting wood,
that started out as a one-man operation
a few years before, became a multi-man
operation with a complex of machinery
that cut the wood at organized mills and
could supply 56,000 board feet of lum-
ber a day.
Robert Tripp realized that money
could also be made in a mercantile
establishment and in 1854 he started a
country store, the only one between San
Francisco and Santa Cruz at that time.
The store housed a bar, a post office, a
dental parlor and an extensive display
of dry goods. Mr. Tripp and his partner,
Mr. Parkhurst, hired a young woman
named Emeline Skelton to be their
housekeeper and Mr. Tripp married her
in 1854. To this union was born one girl,
Addie Tripp, who lived in the area until
her death in 1926. Her mother died in
1886.
When California became a state, Dr.
Tripp was elected supervisor for the
Third District. He had become a man of
great importance in the community. And
he was the only dentist. Across the
street from the general store, he con-
structed his home and continued in
business at the store until his death in
1909.
For a wonderful experience, visit the
Woodside Store in Woodside at the cor-
ner of Tripp and Kings Mountain Road.
Phone (650) 851-7615 for times and
days it is open. The admission is free.

Monday, Aug. 23, 2010
The same arena where you have previously experienced fail-
ure may be the one that will produce the largest rewards for
you in the year ahead. A change of venue might not be neces-
sary, but possessing enough tenacity to win will be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Much progress and many
accomplishments can be achieved when you work shoulder
to shoulder with others. Collectively you’ll be able to come up
with numerous bright ideas that’ll really work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - A rare opportunity could arise,
giving you a chance to make a friend out of someone within
your field who, up until now, has been a mere acquaintance.
Each will have much to other the other.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - With your natural-born tenac-
ity, this can be a day full of possibility and potential. If you
have the desire and the will, you’ll be able to get a lot done.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Certain ideas you come
up with could be ingenious and progressive, as well as logi-
cal. You merely have to direct your mental efforts to projects
that require original thinking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Being able to make the
most out of what you have at hand could be an exciting expe-
rience. Instead of feeling shortchanged, you’ll take what you
have and turn it into something powerful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Associates will appreciate
you being in charge because you’ll have a way of managing
things in a way that will be best for everybody concerned,
without upsetting anyone.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Try to work in an environment
where you’ll be able to be your own person, because that’s
when you’ll be the most effective. You’ll be less potent work-
ing in close proximity with others.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Experiencing a compelling drive
to broaden the base from which you get ideas, you are likely
to want to mingle with as many different types of people as
you can. It should be an interesting day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you can, be less fixed in your
outlook when it comes to setting your ambitions or objective,
and you’ll discover multiple ways to fulfill them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Your fertile imagination is one
of your best assets, so don’t hesitate to explore all of the
many unusual ideas you may come up with. Something great
could come out of more than one of them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - There will be no hesitation on
your part to help work on ways for someone else to get what
s/he wants. You’ll consider that your time, talent and effort
will be well spent.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Real progress can start to be made
when and if you put yourself in the other guy/gal’s shoes,
because that’s when you’ll finally get a real understanding of
that individual’s thinking and needs.

freezing the fire department costs at last year’s

Continued from page 1
new police services setup should save the city
about $2 million.
Particularly interesting is a split amongst the
police officers on the issue. On June 28, the
City Council voted 4-1 to begin negotiations
with the Sheriff’s Office. Before that, the Police
Officers Association members voted 13-12 in
favor of fighting outsourcing and the deciding
vote was deemed “on the fence.” Those favor-
ing the idea noted the financial incentive but
also the guarantee of jobs for the entire depart-
ment.
Some residents discussed putting a ballot
measure opposing the change on the November
ballot. Instead, both measures were pulled. Due
to the strain in the community, Royce wants to
be sure the implementation allows for polling
in the beginning to be sure services are meeting
the community’s needs. If not, issues can be
dealt with right away rather than as a reaction,
he said.
Since the change will not happen all at once,
nor will it be in effect through the entire year,
the partial savings are estimated at $1.014 mil-
lion, Weiss wrote.
Councilman Matt Grocott was comfortable
with the estimates due to the amount of time the
council spent studying contracts.
About $315,000 in savings is expected from
level, according to Weiss’ report. In April, the
City Council sent a letter to the Belmont Fire
Protection District of its decision to dissolve the
Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department. San
Carlos has received a proposal from the
California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection that is significantly lower than what
it now pays for the shared service with
Belmont.
Shortly after the letter was sent, Councilman
Andy Klein, also chair of the Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department Board of
Commissioners, said San Carlos would be will-
ing to stay with Belmont if it could save up to
$2 million a year and control its own level of
service.
Fire services will continue to be shared until
Oct. 12, 2011. Outsourcing of parks mainte-
nance was approved in June, a contract that
should save $414,000. In addition, the city plans
on saving $167,200 from reduction in salaries,
and reductions to the risk management alloca-
tion and building professional services. The plan
also eliminates the Healthy Cities Tutoring
Program, Special Needs Program, 4.5 full-time
positions and several part-time positions.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 23 at
City Hall, 600 Elm St. in San Carlos.

self by authoring legislation that promotes
renewable energy, protects immigrant farm
workers and keeps spam out of e-mail inboxes.
Her effort to create a legal path to citizenship
for foreign workers by voting to increase the
annual cap on H-1B visas, however, is
Chapman’s biggest complaint about Eshoo.
“There is not a shortage of computer pro-
grammers in this country. Her efforts create
cheap slave labor,” said Chapman, who is a soft-
ware engineer.
Chapman’s main goal is to create jobs and to
stop outsourcing them to foreign countries.
Lazaga, a painting contractor, intends to
restore personal property rights if elected and
wants to see a reduction in the size of the feder-
al government.
“There is too much redundancy with the state,
local and federal governments,” Lazaga said.
He is also concerned with what he calls the
outrageous contracts the federal government
awards to private enterprises.
“They pay too much,” he said.
Lazaga called Eshoo a “ragdoll” for the
Democratic Party.
Eshoo does not consider herself a shoo-in.
“I never take anyone for granted,” said Eshoo,
who commutes back and forth from
Washington, D.C. every week.
“I stand for re-election based on my voting
record and my effectiveness for the communi-
ty,” she said.
Her primary goal is pulling troops out of
Afghanistan and Iraq.
“The war in Afghanistan is winding down,
thank God. No one has ever succeeded in
Afghanistan. The war is not definable and not
winnable,” she said.
She also wants to get Americans back to
work.
“The economy is the worst I’ve seen. The
unemployment rate is too high. We must create
jobs,” she said.
In Congress, she is the chairwoman for the
Subcommittee on Intelligence Community
Management under the Select Committee on
Intelligence.
The country’s intelligence community
employs about 854,000 people, Eshoo said, but
at least a third of them are subcontractors.
“We have to reform our security clearance
system,” she said. “There is too much informa-
tion sharing and too much security clearance for
people who have no allegiance to the govern-
ment.”
She also wants to better track the dollars the
intelligence community gets from the govern-
ment.
Before joining Congress, Eshoo was a San
Mateo County supervisor for 10 years.
The district includes the cities of Belmont,
Redwood City, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, most of
Silicon Valley and parts of Santa Cruz County.
The general election is Nov. 2.

money for them. Iterating quickly
through ideas is important. You
don’t just hope they will fit into the
market.”
That pragmatism has served Reid
well, allowing him to develop and
grow a highly regarded company
without getting bogged down in the
initial concept phase.
“Invention seems like a pipe
dream,” said Reid. “But I do know
how to make things into products.
The idea is a small part by the
time you’re done. Finding out if
the idea is any good is the impor-
tant part. The more testing you do,
the better off you are. The busi-
ness model is similar to that of
venture capitalists.”
By the time an idea becomes a
product, it has been thoroughly test-
ed and reviewed by Reid and his
colleagues. Many products come
about as a direct result of the inven-
tors experiencing the problem first-
hand. For example, they designed
and productized fork levels to help
forklift operators know when the
blades of the fork are level as a
result of challenges with their own
forklift in the Inventor Labs work-
shop.
There are typically 30 to 40 ideas
under development at any given
time. Currently, a test model for
urban farm boxes hangs on an office
wall. The boxes would allow people
to grow vegetables on their city bal-
conies or patios by catching drain-
ing water and recycling it back into
the box or through a tube and into
another box, all without dripping

The company is also working on a
cell detector, which would allow
Reid relishes the idea not only of
helping people, but of preserving
the planet, as well.
“When we’re trying to bring new
products into the world, we want to
help. We’re excited about sustain-
able products like the urban farm
boxes. It’s a definite focus, trying
not to make the world worse,” he
said.
So is pushing boundaries.
“You have to be a little fearless
and a little stupid,” he said.
Starting with a completely blank
slate would intimidate most people,
but it’s precisely what Glenn Reid
loves most about being an inventor.
“It is as complete a challenge as
