SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger made California
the first state to create an insurance
exchange under new federal health
care reform as he hurried Thursday
to act on about 250 bills remaining
from this summer’s legislative ses-

He signed seven major health
care-reform bills and another seven
bills extending foster care benefits

Hearing on Youshock transcript delayed
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A substantial stack of paperwork — includ-
ing more than 100 pages of newspaper cover-
age — delayed a hearing to determine if the
public should learn what information a crimi-
nal grand jury used to decide a former
Hillsdale High School student should stand
trial for a botched campus massacre plot.
The defense for Alexander Robert
Youshock, 18, wants the transcript from the
grand jury’s hearing sealed to prevent pre-trial
publicity of its contents. The indictment side-
stepped a preliminary hearing on the evi-
dence, leaving many details of the incident,
Youshock’s alleged planning — including a
journal in which he listed targets — and pos-
sible mental state away from public dissemi-
nation. Transcripts are generally released 10
days after they are turned over to the defense
following an indictment.
Prosecutors took Youshock’s case to the
grand jury earlier this year while criminal pro-
ceedings were on hold because of questions
over the teen’s ability to stand trial. Three
court-appointed doctors agreed this week
Youshock is competent and trial was set for

District finalizes school purchase
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The now-vacant Hoover Elementary
School, at 2220 Summit Drive, will once
again belong the Burlingame Elementary
School District in one week.
In June, the Board of Trustees voted to pur-
chase the property for $4.85 million. The due
diligence period ended in late August, at
which point the board voted to continue to
move forward with the purchase. On Tuesday,
LOCAL
On Thursday, defense
attorney Jonathan
McDougall was scheduled
to argue his request for
sealing the transcript.
Instead, the matter was
continued to Oct. 15 to
give Judge Lisa Novak
more time to read the four-
volume grand jury tran-
Alexander
Youshock script and more than 200
pages of defense docu-
ments, said Assistant District Attorney Karen
Guidotti, who is prosecuting the case.
Guidotti filed her own brief, stating the
defense has not met its burden of proving that
Youshock would be deprived of a fair trial in
San Mateo County if the transcript is made
public. As an alternative, Guidotti suggested
sealing only the section involving Youshock’ s
journal.
McDougall’s brief contains dozens of news-
paper articles about the case which drew inter-
national attention. At approximately 8 a.m.
Aug. 24, 2009, prosecutors say Youshock
arrived at the Hillsdale campus, intent on
revenge against as many people as possible
but particularly a chemistry teacher. Prior to
that Monday morning, Youshock reportedly
the board finalized the purchase and take pos-
session of all documents on or before Oct. 8,
said Chief Business Officer Robert Clark.
Although the resolution states the use is not
yet finalized, talk of purchasing the school
regained momentum as the district realized its
growing enrollment numbers. In April, the
board voted 4-1 in closed session to move for-
ward with final negotiations for the now-
vacant Hoover Elementary School at 2220
Summit Drive.
Hoover was built in the ’30s, closed in 1978
and sold 10 years later. In 1989, Shinnyo-En
compiled a list of teachers assigned with the
words “guilty” or “not guilty,” ordered the
explosive material online while telling his
mother he was constructing model rockets and
videotaped himself preparing pipe bombs and
wielding a chain saw.
He allegedly arrived at Hillsdale with the
weapons and wearing a welder’s mask to pro-
tect his face during the attack and a plan to
commit suicide or take a hostage if police
wouldn’t shoot him dead. After setting off two
pipe bombs that injured no one, Youshock
reportedly attempted to start the chain saw but
had problems. Youshock was tackled by staff
members.
Youshock is charged as an adult with two
counts of attempted murder, one count of
exploding a destructive device with intent to
commit murder, one count of possession of a
destructive device in a public place, one count
of the use of explosives in an act of terrorism
and two counts of possession of a deadly
weapon.
He remains in custody on no-bail status.

Caltrain officials presented the public in San

train tracks above several intersections in the
city to improve safety and alleviate traffic con-

The next phase of the San Bruno Grade

Gov.race upended by immigrant maid
By Juliet Williams and Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MONICA — Meg Whitman’s cam-
paign for governor was thrown into turmoil
Thursday as the Republican sought to fend off
new evidence that she knowingly had an ille-
gal immigrant housekeeper on her payroll for
nearly a decade.
Whitman denounced the allegations as a
“baseless smear attack” by Democratic chal-
lenger Jerry Brown in what has become a
dead-heat race five weeks before the election.
The central issue is whether Whitman knew
about a letter that the Social Security
Administration sent her in 2003 that raised
discrepancies about the housekeeper’s docu-
ments — a possible tip-off that she could be
illegal.
The letter is the foundation for claims by
former maid Nicky Diaz Santillan that
Whitman and her husband knew for years she
was in the U.S. illegally, but kept her on the
job regardless.
For two days, Whitman forcefully denied
receiving any such letter and said she fired the
$23-an-hour housekeeper last year immedi-
ately after learning she was illegal. But
Whitman’s husband changed course Thursday
after a letter surfaced with what appeared to
be his handwriting, forcing him to say he may
have been aware of the correspondence back
in 2003.
The husband’s shift only served to intensify
the uproar in a contest that until now been
focused on serious issues such as job creation,
government spending and education in a state
with a $19 billion deficit and 12.4 percent
unemployment.

Bias criminal charges
weighed after suicide
By Geoff Mulvihill
and Samantha Henry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Bias-crime charges
are possible against two Rutgers University
students accused of secretly streaming online
video of a sexual encounter between a man and
a male classmate who later jumped off a
bridge, prosecutors said Thursday.
The body of Tyler Clementi, 18, was identi-
fied Thursday after being found in the Hudson
River a day before. His roommate, Dharun
Ravi, and fellow Rutgers freshman Molly Wei,
both 18, have been charged with invading his
privacy.
Middlesex County prosecutors say that they
used a webcam to surreptitiously transmit a
live image of Clementi having sex Sept. 19 and
that Ravi tried to webcast a second encounter
on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi’s suicide.
“Now that two individuals have been
charged with invasion of privacy, we will be
making every effort to assess whether bias
played a role in the incident, and, if so, we will
bring appropriate charges,” prosecutor Bruce J.
Kaplan said in a news release.
Collecting or viewing sexual images without
consent is a fourth-degree crime, and transmit-
ting them is a third-degree crime with a maxi-
mum prison term of five years. A lawyer for
Ravi, of Plainsboro, did not return a message
seeking comment, and it was unclear whether

Iraq on guard against Iran
By Lara Jakes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
QUTAIBA BORDER FORT, Iraq —
On any map, this castle-like fort is located
in Iran. But war, time and drifting desert
sands have blurred the border, and for now,
Iraqi guards stoutly defend Qutaiba as
theirs.
The guards are part of a beefed-up pres-
ence on both sides of a long, porous and
ill-defined border. Iraq is building four
new border forts in Wasit province alone,
which abuts Iran for 116 miles (186 kilo-
meters). Iran also is adding forts, as evi-
denced by half-built structures surrounded
by scaffolding that can be seen from Iraq.
The increased tension is a result of Iraq’s
uncertain situation, with its government in
limbo and American troops leaving. At an
insecure time, Iraqi wariness of Iranian
aggression is on the rise, especially after
two major Iranian incursions in less than a
year.
“The region here is like a jungle: the
strong eat the weak,” said Iraqi Brig. Gen.
Sami Wahab, who oversees the nearby
Zurbatiyah port of entry, the largest official
pedestrian land crossing between Iraq and
Iran.
“If the Iraqi government keeps going
backward and reaches the level where you
can say it’s a weak country, then there’s a
good chance of Iran coming in,” Sami said.
“But we don’t have cannons to respond;
we don’t have jets to bomb. That’s why the
Iraqi people are scared.”

Iran and Iraq are formerly warring

Few experts expect a full-scale invasion

normalized relations since the 2003 ouster

Israel, Palestinians look to salvage Mideast talks
JERUSALEM — In a case of high-stakes diplomacy, the
Palestinians were waiting Friday for the latest American effort
to break the standoff with Israel over Jewish settlement con-
struction in areas the Palestinians want for their future state.
With a Sunday deadline looming for Israel to resume the
contested building, the two sides’ ability to reach a compro-
mise will determine whether they continue with peace talks to
address the much thornier issues fueling their decades-old
conflict.
President Barack Obama has increasingly placed efforts to
resolve the conflict at the center of his foreign policy, and on
Thursday the U.S. leader made an impassioned appeal to the
world at the United Nations to support a solution.
The direct talks between the parties stalled only three weeks
after starting in Washington in early September over the
impending end of a 10-month freeze on new Israeli settlement
construction on land claimed by the Palestinians.
Pakistan cuts NATO supply line after border firing
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan closed the Khyber Pass supply
route for U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan after a coali-
tion helicopter attack mistakenly killed three Pakistani sol-
diers at a border post Thursday, raising tensions in a vital rela-
tionship for both Islamabad and Washington.
A lengthy ban on supply trucks would place intense strain
on the U.S.-Pakistani relationship and hurt the Afghan war
effort. But that was seen as unlikely, as neither Islamabad nor
Washington can afford a meltdown in ties at a crucial time in
the 9-year-old war.
Briefly closing the route would serve a different purpose —
a timely reminder by Pakistan of the leverage it has over the
United States in Afghanistan just as the American-led coali-
tion there is under growing public and political pressure to
show success.

HP board’s CEO selection raises doubts

By Michael Lietke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-
Packard Co.’s board upset many
investors when it forced out Mark Hurd
as CEO nearly two months ago. Now,
those directors appear to have baffled
Wall Street with its selection of HP’s
new leader — Leo Apotheker, who lost
his job running German business soft-
ware maker SAP earlier this year after
he didn’t live up to expectations.
Thursday’s announcement caught
almost everyone off guard, causing HP’s
shares to slip back into a funk that began
in early August after the board ousted
the well-regarded Hurd amid allegations
of sexual harassment and deceptive
expense reports.
Most analysts had expected HP to hire
from within, or tap an outsider with a
more impressive resume than
Apotheker’s.
“I thought it would be difficult for HP
to hire an outsider and have its stock to
go down, but this board seems to have
found a way,” Gleacher & Co. analyst
Brian Marshall said.
HP shares fell $1.21, or 2.9 percent, in
Thursday’s extended trading. Before
Apotheker’s hiring was announced, the
stock closed the regular session at
$42.07, down 46 cents.
The market value of the world’s
largest technology company has been
sagging since Hurd was shown the door,
intensifying the pressure on HP’s board
to find a CEO who would restore
investor confidence.
Apotheker, a 57-year-old German,
spent most of his career at SAP AG
before being promoted to CEO in April
2008. He lasted less than two years in
the position. SAP decided not to renew
his contract when it expired nearly eight
months ago, largely because SAP’s
financial performance faltered after
Apotheker raised the fees that the com-
pany’s customers paid to maintain and
upgrade software.
“SAP’s customer relationships suf-
fered badly and so did employee morale
while (Apotheker) was there, so this is a
bit of an odd choice by HP,” said soft-
ware analyst Paul Hamerman of
Forrester Research.

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
Hickey, a Libertarian, wants to ultimately
dissolve the district that doles out millions each
year in taxpayer money to various nonprofits in
southern San Mateo County that provides
health care services.
Faro, the former chief executive officer at
Sequoia Hospital, wants to keep the district
intact so it can continue to help keep the com-
munity healthy by supporting preventative care
and wellness programs.
Hickey recruited two others, Frederick
Graham and Michael Stogner, to run as a slate
with the intent to stop collecting nearly $7 mil-
lion a year the district gets in property taxes.
The other candidates in the race, Alpio
Barbara, Jerry Shefren and Ruth West-Gorrin
want to keep the district running the way it cur-
rently does.
In-office interviews with each candidate
were held to help the Daily Journal determine
endorsements. To allow each candidate a forum
to express their opinions on the issues dis-
cussed, candidates were given the same five
questions and asked to answer each in approx-
imately 50 words. Responses were edited for
grammar, punctuation and length. Answers are
arranged alphabetically by the candidate’s last
name.
1. Why is it important to disburse taxpay-
er money to local nonprofits?
Alpio Barbara: Nonprofits play a very
important role in delivering health services in
our community. They are needed today more
than ever as evident by the huge demand for
their services. Private donations are down, cor-
porate giving is down, foundation giving is
down and they simply need our help to provide
the services needed.
Art Faro: The grand jury endorsed the dis-
trict’s activities in 2004 and again in 2008. The
state Legislature also supports and promotes
these activities by their enacting the District
Healthcare Act, a change from the District
Hospital Act. The local nonprofits are severely
underfunded. By assisting them, they can con-
tinue to provide the needed access to health
care and health promotion for all our residents,
thus significantly increasing the level of health
care in our community.
Frederick Graham: If by “nonprofits” is
meant “charities” such as Samaritan House,
Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc, citizens tax
money should not be dispensed by any govern-
ment agency. Charity is the exclusive and direct
responsibility between the citizen and the char-
ity of his choice.
Jack Hickey: Just the opposite is true. It is
important NOT to disburse taxpayer money to
local nonprofits. This corrupts their true nature.
Two civil grand juries (2000-2002) questioned
the district’s authority to engage in philanthro-
py without voter approval. The choice of char-
itable contributions should be left to individu-
als.
Jerry Shefren: The health care district was
formed with the intent of improving the health
of the community by collecting tax dollars
from the community and dispersing those
funds in way that would best accomplish the
mission. Local nonprofits are often the very
best organizations to accomplish specific
health care goals and therefore provide the best
bang for the buck in meeting specific commu-
nity needs. We are fortunate to have many
excellent local nonprofits but they are not ade-
quately funded to meet their goals without
additional help.
Michael Stogner: To strengthen political
alliances with an eye toward maintaining a
voter base. It casts the district in an angelic
light while at the same time empowering the
directors as the dispenser of these taxpayer
funds.
Ruth West-Gorrin: The Sequoia Healthcare
District has a long tradition of supporting com-
munity health in southern San Mateo County.
We support organizations that serve the young,
the elderly, students, schools and clinics. In
these challenging times, the district’s job is
even more vital to the overall quality of life in
our community.
2. Should the health care district consider
merging with other area health care dis-
tricts, such as Peninsula or El Camino, to
better serve the community by reducing
administrative cost?
Alpio Barbara: As a business owner, I am
always looking for options and opportunities to
cut overhead expenditures and streamline
administrative costs. So yes, I would consider
looking into merging districts. The districts
have looked at merging in the past and it was

concluded they would not function as effective-
ly as one. But times are different now and so
should be our philosophies.
Art Faro: We have looked into this in the
past and studied it in depth, and concluded that
it would not work as our missions are some-
what different. I would be supportive of meet-
ing with Peninsula Healthcare District to dis-
cuss again. As for El Camino, certainly I would
talk with them but they run a hospital and have
a different mission and are located in a differ-
ent county than ours.
Frederick Graham: Negative. There are
health care districts all over the state of
California (hundreds at last count per the Little
Hoover Commission) many of which should be
dissolved as they have outlived their charter.
SHCD was formed specifically to support
Sequoia Hospital which relationship was sev-
ered when the hospital was sold to Catholic
Healthcare West.
Jack Hickey: As a team, Hickey, Graham
and Stogner’s proposal for an orderly shutdown
of unapproved philanthropic activities and
obsolete hospital taxes of the Sequoia
Healthcare District would directly address the
grand jury’s concerns and ultimately reduce
administrative costs to zero.
Jerry Shefren: It is always appropriate to
explore options for partnering with other
organizations to improve or expand the impact
of a program as well as to reduce overhead.
That exploration process has to include identi-
fying if the other districts have similar goals
and objectives as well as ensuring that Sequoia
district residents receive the full benefit of their
tax contributions. I believe that local control of
the tax dollars is an important component for
success.
Michael Stogner: No. The reason for this is
that the health care district cannot legally be
merged with any entity because is has no leg-
islative basis for existence in its current form.
Ruth West-Gorrin: We should consider
strategic alliances that would expand our abili-
ty to serve our community.
3. The district spends roughly 8 percent of
its annual budget on the San Francisco State
University Nursing Program. How does this
expenditure specifically help residents of the
district?
Alpio Barbara: There are many benefits to
our district coming from our partnership with
this program. Many of the students that are
trained through the program are residents of the
district. The classes are held locally at Cañada
College and many of the graduates are hired at
Sequoia Hospital and other facilities within the
district.
Art Faro: It assures us that we have a suffi-
cient supply of registered nurses for our hospi-
tals (including Sequoia and Kaiser) clinics, and
outpatient facilities. Secondly, it helps us
ensure that we can meet the demand of the
future. And thirdly, guarantees we have the
optimum level of patient-nurse ratios for maxi-

mum patient care.
Frederick Graham: If at all, only marginal-
ly. What percentage of nursing graduates from
SFSU Nursing Program actually work in the
district to justify the investment?
Jack Hickey: The current program dispro-
portionately favors Sequoia Hospital, begging
a class action lawsuit by members of Kaiser,
Stanford Medical, PAMF and other health care
providers who benefit little from the program.
Nurses unions logically should address nurses
training by making student loans paid back
through surcharges on union dues collected
from nurses.
Jerry Shefren: This program was developed
as a partnership with Cañada College through
the San Francisco State University program.
All classes are held at Cañada and most of the
students are district residents. At the initiation
of the program, there was an increasing nursing
shortage in the district. The changes in the
California state laws since that time has made
the shortages even more acute. A steady supply
of qualified nurses in this area is an important
component to having an effective health care
system and a healthy community.
Michael Stogner: The issue is not how
expenditures benefit residents. The issue is that
the Sequoia Healthcare District in its current
form has never been approved by the voters.
Ruth West-Gorrin: This program is part of
the curriculum offered at our local community
college, Cañada College in partnership with
San Francisco State and Sequoia Hospital. The
goal is to produce 300-400 new nurses for this
region, benefiting both the local students and
our community by increasing the number of
qualified nurses as we face a shortage of nurs-
es.
4. How can grant recipients prove the
money they receive from the district goes
toward improving the health of district resi-
dents?
Alpio Barbara: The district staff currently
monitors the grants and holds recipients
responsible for delivering on their promises by
following up with them and including district
board members and our Grants Committee
members in the process. If elected, I would like
to expand the volunteer Grants Committee’s
responsibilities to include quarterly progress
reports.
Art Faro: The district staff, grants commit-
tee and board have procedures in place to mon-
itor the efficacy of the work the recipients do
which is funded by the district. Reviews are
routinely conducted by the grants committee
and staff. Board members (four out of five)
actually make site visits as does the staff.
Frederick Graham: Not yet being elected, I
can’t say how it is done now, but if elected, I
would press for a requirement that all grants, as
a contractual requirement of the grantee, be
subject to detailed line item certified audit per-
formed by a third party independent audit firm.
Jack Hickey: The problem isn’t with grant
recipients, but rather their receipt of tax dollars
from the district. Two grand juries said this was
never approved by voters. District boundaries
are blurred. East Palo Alto, not in the district, is
a prime example of benefits spilling over.
Jerry Shefren: Grant applications require a
detailed description of the intent of the grant,
the process by which it will be accomplished as
well as measures to determine if the goals were
met. The application also requires a description
of how district residents will benefit from the
program and grants are not extended to pro-
grams not intended for district residents. The
grant recipients report twice yearly to the dis-
trict and the district administration visits the

grantees at least yearly.
Michael Stogner: Proof that money received
from SHCD goes toward improving the health
of district residents is irrelevant considering the
fundamental issue of the illegality of the exis-
tence of the district in the first place.
Ruth West-Gorrin: The board is aware of
the importance of oversight of all funds allo-
cated from the district. Program evaluation
efforts are already under way, and increased
oversight will provide valuable feedback to the
board and the grants committee in determining
future goals and fund allocations.
5. The district has started a new initiative
called the School Health Program. What is it
and why is it important?
Alpio Barbara: The district is concerned
about school attendance and student perform-
ance. Sick kids do not excel in school, that is a
fact. One of the most important aspects of this
initiative is the emphasis on wellness and
health promotion. The program teaches kids to
do the right things to live a healthy life.
Art Faro: Our schools have been forced to
make significant cuts in health-related services
as a result of their financial cutbacks. Rather
than ignore their plight, district funds help
restore some of the health personnel they had to
lay off and are able to add services that enhance
school performance and student health.
Frederick Graham: Again, since I am not
yet in office, I only have access to press releas-
es. As I understand it, it is to provide funding
for schools in the district for school nurses and
courses in “healthy living.” I don’t think it is
important, and duplicates functions that are
properly the responsibility of the respective
school districts.
Jack Hickey: This is a backdoor subsidy for
certain school districts, shamelessly promoted
by Don Horsley. Such subsidies were never
approved by voters. These voters have placed
hundreds of millions of dollars of bonded
indebtedness on taxpayers for school construc-
tion and occasionally reject parcel tax meas-
ures for schools.
Jerry Shefren: The district has initiated a
program with elementary schools in Redwood
City, Belmont, San Carlos and the Sequoia
Union High School District. I believe the intent
of the program is to fund activities that have
been threatened by the drastic cutbacks in
school funding. Our schools are one of the best
places to provide health care education and
promote healthy lifestyles. One of the advan-
tages of having a health care district funded
with local taxes is the ability to step in when
vital programs are threatened by reduced fund-
ing at the state or federal levels. Communities
without this option have little ability to cover
those programs.
Michael Stogner: This is a backdoor sub-
sidy, promoted by Don Horsley for certain
school districts. It was never approved by vot-
ers, who occasionally reject parcel tax meas-
ures for schools. When politicians start spend-
ing money without voter approval (or even
knowledge, in this case), accountability goes
out the window.
Ruth West-Gorrin: The School Health
Program has the goal of restoring and replacing
school nurses and student health programs that
have lost funding from budget cuts in past
years. These nurses, PE teachers and allied
health professionals can serve as frontline
health advocates throughout our district.

Barbara,Faro and Shefren for Sequoia Healthcare District
T
he mission of the Sequoia
Healthcare District is the
primary focus of a cam-
paign for three open seats on its
Board of Directors. Three candi-
dates, led by incumbent Jack
Hickey, are running as a slate with
the sole purpose of gaining a
majority of the board to stop it
from collecting tax money and
eventually dissolve it. Four others:
one incumbent, one former board-
member, a clinical services director
and a businessman active in the
Police Activities League are on the
other side of the spectrum and want
to maintain the district and its phil-
anthropic mission.
The Sequoia Hospital District
was formed in 1946 to build and
operate Sequoia Hospital. Since
the hospital’s operation was turned
over to Catholic Healthcare West
in 1996, it was renamed the
Sequoia Healthcare District and is
now largely responsible for distrib-

money) to organizations that the

wish the district be disbanded, then
it should be done through an initia-
tive process similar to the one that
created it. If Hickey were to get
two other like-minded people on
the board, they would be sure to
take the steps to disband it.
However, if the slate falls short at
the polls, there is a risk that its
mission would be compromised
with a continuation of the unpro-
ductive discussions Hickey has
been at the center of in his time on
the board.
It is tempting to endorse Hickey
since he relishes his thorny role
and tends to keep the district on its
toes. However, he is a distraction to
the current role of the district and
would be better suited to lead an
initiative process to fulfill his pri-
mary goal and see if voters, in fact,
OPINION
agree that the district should be dis-
solved.
The district should see itself in a
transitional period and explore
ways to share services with other
districts and share more of its
money with the county to help take
on the burden of indigent care.
Only one candidate, Alpio Barbara,
seemed to be open to that philoso-
phy emerging among governmental
agencies in this county as a viable
way to cut costs and maintain and
even expand services. Barbara has
a large body of experience in vol-
unteerism and community service
and while his job as owner of an
auto retail and service business
may not seem to be a direct match
for a health care district, he has a
certain business acumen and com-
munity service background that
actually makes sense in the dis-
trict’s new role. He also would like
to see if there are ways individual
organizations funded by the district
could combine forces to also cut
overhead and better utilize grant
money.
It would be nice if the other can-
didates shared that philosophy, but
they seem apprehensive. Incumbent
Art Faro has a long history with the
district and clearly understands
how it has evolved. Former board
member Gerald Shefren also has
experience with the district and
both edge out Ruth West-Gorrin,
who has been active in the grant
committee and would likely contin-
ue her good work there.
In this difficult economic time, it
is tempting to say the district
should be dissolved so there is not
taxpayer money going to philan-
thropic purposes. But that’s a sim-
plistic and unrealistic view. The
money would still be collected and
instead go to other governmental
agencies, so the average tax bill
would remain the same regardless
of the district’s existence. In addi-
tion, the grants do go to many
worthwhile organizations that, if
they were to not get the money,
would not be able to assist those in
need and that burden would likely
fall to the county, already weighed
down with its own budget short-
falls. Dissolving the district now
would have a deleterious effect on
the social safety net and ultimately
cost us more in both financial terms
and as a caring and sympathetic
society. However, the district
should heed the sentiment of fiscal
restraint and the need for collabora-
tion. Otherwise, the call for its dis-
solution will only get louder.

Emanuel Lee: A job well done
Editor,
The heartfelt tribute from Daily
Journal sports editor Nathan Mollat
to reporter Emanuel Lee on the eve
of Mr. Lee’s departure from the
paper’s sports staff is truly
deserved (“End of an era” in the
Sept. 30 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Over the years, Mr. Lee’s excep-
tional reporting and in-depth inter-
views have greatly enhanced the
community’s appreciation and
understanding of everything that is
good about high school sports.
Moreover, Mr. Lee’s game stories
and personal profiles have created
rich and lasting memories for hun-
dreds of young Peninsula athletes.
Good luck, Mr. Lee, in all the days
ahead. You will always have many
friends and admirers up and down
the Peninsula.

Keep the SMUHSD
from making a mistake
Editor,
One of the main reasons the dis-
trict is asking for voters to pass the
organized sports on the fields adja-
cent to the buildings and are main-
tained by the city of San Bruno.
I have been told by the district
that the renovation of the entire
Crestmoor site would cost $17.2
million because some of the build-
ings have had their ventilation sys-
tems removed; however, this is not
the case with the wings that house
the high school. The ventilation
systems in the high school wings
are intact. The $3.2 million we
voted for in measure M would have
completely renovated the high
school portion of the site. Even
$17.2 million to renovate every-
thing is a far cry from the $186
million they are asking for in
Measure O.
This district has mismanaged a
valuable asset that it will sell if
Measure O passes. Please don’t
give them the opportunity to make
this mistake. Vote No on O.

Postal service denied
rate increases for mail
By Natasha T. Metzler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Postal Service’s bid to raise the cost
of mailing a letter by 2 cents was rejected Thursday, denying
the agency immediate relief from a worsening financial crisis.
The Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last year and is headed
toward an approximately $7 billion loss this year as people do
more business on the Internet and the recession erodes the vol-
ume of marketing mail.
In July the post office had asked for a special rate increase
for letters, postcards, periodicals, parcels and other services as
one of several steps to cut its losses. The agency also had sug-
gested cutting delivery service to five days a week and closing
or consolidating offices — issues that were not addressed in
Thursday’s rate decision by the independent Postal Regulatory
Commission.
The rate increase needed the commission’s approval because
it was higher than the rate of inflation.

HP gives $5M to Newseum
WASHINGTON — Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a $5

Washington that explores the next generation of technology
and its impact on the news.
The gift announced Thursday underwrites construction of a
gallery that was part of the museum’s original design but has
not yet been developed. It is scheduled to open in 2012, and
the donation will be paid out over 10 years.
HP Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Philip
McKinney said the company will design an immersive visual
display with huge touch screens, possibly as wide as 50 feet,
that can support 3-D images. Visitors will be able to “curate”
the news on display and interact on Twitter and other social
media sites as citizen journalists.

Month ends on weak note
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks ended a
monthlong rally on a weak note, but still
chalked up the best September in 71
years.
Indexes rose sharply at the open
Thursday following some better news on
the economy, but stumbled at midmorn-
ing and stayed lower the rest of the day
as traders pulled out profits following a
spectacular run for the market in
September. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed down 47 points, having
been up as many as 113 earlier in the
day.
The Dow gained 7.7 percent in the
month, making it the strongest
September since 1939, at the dawn of
World War II. However that runup fol-
lowed a dismal August, and the Dow is
still only up 3.5 percent for the year and
is 3.7 percent below its closing high for
2010 reached on April 26.
Technology shares, which have been
among the best performers this month,
led Thursday’s pullback. Major technol-
ogy companies like Apple Inc., IBM
Corp. and Oracle Corp. were all down
about 1 percent.

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A record number
of Americans signed up for Medicaid
last year, as the recession wiped out jobs
and workplace health coverage.
A report released Thursday by the
nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation
found that enrollment in the safety-net
medical insurance program jumped to
more than 48 million — a record 15.7
percent share of the U.S. population.
With the economy barely improving,
states are forecasting a 6 percent
increase in the rolls next year, meaning

Jobless benefit applications drop to 453K
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Applications for
jobless benefits dropped last week for
the third time in four weeks, a sign that
employers are cutting fewer jobs.
New claims for jobless benefits fell by
16,000 to a seasonally adjusted 453,000,
the Labor Department said Thursday.
Still, they are higher than they would be
in a healthy economy and not low
enough to signal rapid job growth.
The claims figures are “mildly encour-
aging” and “moving in the right direc-
tion,” said Michael Gapen, senior U.S.
economist at Barclays Capital. But they

Fisher-Price recalls more than 11M kid products
By Jennifer C. Kerr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Fisher-Price is
recalling more than 11 million tricy-
cles, toys and high chairs over safety
concerns.
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission said Thursday that the tri-
cycles and high chairs were blamed for
children’s injuries.
Wall Street
reports throughout the month,
Thursday’s batch of data only confirmed
that the economy is growing very slow-
ly.
Major indexes have been surging all
month on signs of incremental improve-
ment in the economy, which have
allayed worries that the country would
fall back into recession.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
47.23, or 0.4 percent, to 10,788.05. The
Dow had risen 113 in the opening min-
utes of trading on improved economic
news before pulling back.
Brett D’Arcy, chief investment officer
at CBIZ Wealth Management Group,
said traders might have also pulled back
because the Dow was approaching the
psychological barrier of 11,000. The
Dow came within 52 points of that level
Thursday morning. It has not touched
11,000 since May 4.
“We haven’t broken out of that mental
cycle that this market might be range
bound,” D’Arcy said.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
3.53, or 0.3 percent, to 1,141.20, while
the Nasdaq composite fell 7.94, or 0.3
percent, to 2,368.62.
Traders were initially upbeat Thursday
after a reading on regional manufactur-
ing in the Chicago area jumped in
September. Economists had expected the
piece to emerge in a grim statistical pic-
ture of the recession’s toll. The ranks of
the working-age poor climbed to the
highest level since the 1960s last year,
according to a recent Census report.
Nearly 12 million households received
food stamps, a record.
Rising Medicaid enrollment also
underscores the growing role of the gov-
ernment in health care, a polarizing issue
in this year’s midterm congressional
elections after President Barack Obama
and Democrats pushed through a mas-
sive overhaul of the nation’s health care
system.
Since the start of the recession in
December 2007, nearly 6 million people
have signed up for Medicaid, according
to Kaiser. That period includes the
biggest 12-month increase since the pro-
425,000 to indicate that hiring is picking
up, he said.
In a separate report, the Commerce
Department said that economic growth
slowed in the second quarter, to a 1.7
percent annual rate from 3.7 percent in
the January-March quarter.
The second quarter figure is slightly
higher than last month’s estimate of 1.6
percent. The modest upward revision
was the result of a little more consumer
spending than first estimated, but hardly
enough to have a significant impact on
the broader economy.
Most economists expect growth to be
similarly weak in the July-September
quarter, with estimates ranging between
1.5 percent and 2 percent. The govern-

Friday’s monthly report on national

for Supply Management.
“The jump in Chicago PMI was noth-
ing short of shocking,” said Nick
Kalivas, vice president of financial
research at MF Global. “It was comple-
mented by the drop in (unemployment)
claims.”
The Labor Department said Thursday
that first-time claims for unemployment
benefits fell more than economists had
predicted last week. Applications are
still at levels that indicate employers
aren’t necessarily ramping up hiring, but
at least the pace of firings seems to be
slowing.
The government also slightly raised its
estimate on second-quarter gross domes-
tic product, the broadest measure of the
nation’s economic activity. The govern-
ment said GDP grew at a 1.7 percent
pace in the second quarter, better than
the 1.6 percent pace estimated a month
ago.
Bond prices fell, driving interest rates
higher, after the upbeat economic reports
dampened demand for defensive invest-

Starting in the fall of 2008, the federal
government provided more than $100

A pricey hatchback with distinctive style

Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Volvo C30 three-door, small hatchback

sure isn’t a “me-too” car. Three years after it
came to the United States as Volvo’s smallest
vehicle here, the not-quite-14-foot-long C30
with distinctive, large rear liftgate glass and
four seats has sold in such low volumes that
it’s still a rarity on most roads.
And now that Volvo of Sweden has been
sold to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. of
China and the new owner is assessing Volvo’s
products, little is changing near term for the
C30, except the price, a slight styling update
and stiffer suspension for an uplevel model.
Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for the
2011 C30 increased $500 from 2010. The
base model starts at $25,450, with manual
transmission and 227-horsepower, tur-
bocharged, five-cylinder engine. With auto-
matic transmission the 2011 C30 starts at
$26,700, and the uplevel C30 with sporty R-
Design body kit and sport suspension starts at
$27,800 with manual transmission.
These base prices are higher than those of
many small hatchbacks, which helps explain
the C30’s low sales.
For example, Honda sold more than twice
as many of its five-door Fit hatchbacks in one
month — 6,363 in August — as the 2,991
C30s that Volvo sold so far all this year in the
United States. Starting retail price of the 2010
Fit is $15,650. It’s true the Fit has only a 117-
horsepower, non-turbocharged, four-cylinder
engine.
But even the Volkswagen GTI — a
European-bred, turbocharged hatchback —
has a lower starting price than the C30. The
2011 VW GTI three-door model has a starting
retail price of $24,460 with manual transmis-
sion and 200-horsepower, turbocharged, four-
cylinder engine. A 2011 VW GTI three-door
hatchback with automatic starts at $25,560.
Meantime, the 2010 Mini Cooper starts at
$19,500 with 118-horsepower, four-cylinder
engine and manual transmission and goes up
to near $30,000 with turbo four cylinder.
Volvo previously was owned by Ford Motor
Co., and the sale to the Chinese automaker
was just finalized in August.
U.S. versions of the C30 still come from a
factory in Ghent, Belgium, that built the C30
when Volvo was owned by Ford.
And the 2011 C30 is still based on a front-
wheel drive platform that Ford engineered
jointly with Mazda and Volvo engineers. Ford
previously held a sizable stake in Mazda, too.
The test car, an uplevel C30 R-Design,

showed off the new, more aggressive front styling
for 2011. With trapezoidal headlamps and the
characteristic Volvo cross-grille badge slash, the
C30 is easy to pick out in a parking lot and does-
n’t look like Japanese-styled hatchbacks.
The rear end is left alone, retaining the big,
oddly shaped glass in the liftgate that can give
everyone walking by a good view of what is
stored in the rear cargo area.
Inside, the C30 has a minimalistic appearance
on the dashboard, where gauges and controls
aren’t overdone with colors and gadgetry. In
fact, the lack of color display for the radio and
ventilation seemed old school compared with
today’s more brightly appointed car interiors.
Note the C30 tester did not include a factory-
installed navigation system. But it still topped
$33,000.
The R-Design model is the sportiest version
of C30. Its body kit makes the car seem lower to
the pavement than a regular C30. But the pieces
at the front weren’t low enough to scrape the
pavement when I entered driveways, thank
goodness. Under the body, there’s an R-Design
sport suspension that for 2011 was made even
AUTO/LOCAL
stiffer with new springs, dampers and roll stabi-
lizers all working to control the body and make
for a taut ride.
Combined with 18-inch performance tires,
the test car rode harshly and loudly over many
road bumps. I had to crank the radio volume up
when the car was on all but the newest of
asphalt-covered roads, and the constant vibra-
tions and jolts, along with road noise, became
tiring.
The C30 R-Design did handle mountain
twisties with confidence and agility, and I
enjoyed the quicker steering response that
comes with the R-Design package. But I was
surprised at the 38.1-foot turning circle for such
a small car and for a Volvo. The Volvo S40
sedan has a turning circle of just 34.9 feet.
The C30’s 227-horsepower, 2.5-liter, tur-
bocharged, double overhead cam five-cylinder
engine is in both the base model and the R-
Design. It has good get up and go starting at
1,500 rpm when torque peaks at 236 foot-
pounds and continues to 5,000 rpm, so it’s per-
forms well at startup as well as during highway
passing maneuvers.
Front bucket seats had good support. But
width-wise, the C30 can feel cramped, even in
the front seats, if passengers are hefty in size.
Passengers in the rear have to contend with their
heads getting a lot of hot sun from the large rear
glass that’s in the liftgate.

Kevin and Shae-Lynn then decided they

They raise Cornish Cross chickens, which
take only eight weeks to grow to eating size.
The turkeys take a little longer.
The couple believes in the importance of
choice. Customers shouldn’t be told what to eat
but they should be able to see how their food is
grown, raised and brought to their table, they
say. Their goal is to impress all of their cus-
tomers, whether they judge them by the flavor
of their food, how they raise and treat the birds
and how they care for the land.
Raising poultry on pastures helps to heal the
land and the chickens won’t feed on the same
patch of ground for about another year.
The couple supplements the birds’ access to
pasture with feed that is free of antibiotics and
hormones.
The birds live in low-density populations and
are protected from predators by 8-foot by 8-foot
mobile pasture shelters that are moved every
day at sunrise and mid-afternoon. This method
ensures the chickens have twice-daily access to
fresh and undisturbed pasture and means that
their diet has a higher proportion of forage and
bugs than free-ranging alone provides, the cou-
ple contend.
The couple who thought they were destined
to be college professors ended up be destined to
be farmers, instead.

Giants sweep, can clinch West Friday

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Pablo Sandoval hit a
splash shot into McCovey Cove, Andres
Torres and Buster Posey also homered and the
NL West-leading San Francisco Giants beat
Arizona 4-1 Thursday, leaving them just one
win away from the division title.
San Francisco began the day with a two-
game edge over San Diego, which later host-
ed the Chicago Cubs.
The Giants completed a three-game sweep,
won for the eighth time in 10 games and cut
their magic number to two. They need to beat
visiting San Diego only once in their season-
Giants 4, D’backs 1
ending, three-game series
to claim their first division
crown and playoff berth
since 2003.
Matt Cain starts Friday
night’s series opener for
San Francisco. It could be
to clinch — and it’s
expected to be an electrify-
Pablo Sandoval ing scene at AT&T Park
for all three sold-out
games.
Torres’ go-ahead, solo homer in the fifth
inning helped rookie Madison Bumgarner (7-
6) earn his first home victory in eight tries.
Posey hit a two-run homer in the sixth, the
rookie’s seventh shot in September.
Overall, the Giants have hit 16 home runs in
their last seven games.
Barry Enright (6-7) lost his fifth straight
start. He has given up 12 homers during that
span after surrendering just eight longballs in
his previous 12 outings.
Sandoval’s solo shot into the water beyond
right field with two outs in the second
prompted one of two kayakers paddling for
the ball to jump out of his boat and swim to
snag the souvenir.
It was the first home run for the struggling
slugger since Aug. 28, a homerless stretch of
66 at-bats. Sandoval has just 12 hits in his last
63 at-bats.
Sandoval connected for his fourth career
splash hit and second this year. It was the fifth
by a Giant in 2010, 55th by San Francisco
overall and 77th total in the 11-year ballpark’s
history. Barry Bonds, the home run king, has
35 of them.
Arizona loaded the bases against
Bumgarner in the fourth, getting Enright’s
sacrifice fly to tie it at 1. But the D-backs did
little else against Bumgarner and the bullpen.
Bumgarner had been 0-3 at home with a
4.95 ERA before winning Thursday. He
struck out seven and walked one in five
innings, allowing seven hits and one run.

Knights on a roll
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Hillsdale boys’ water polo program is
hoping a link to the past holds success for
present and future.
Renato Hodzic — arguably the best water
polo player to come out of the school when he
graduated in 2005, earning a water polo schol-
arship to Pacific — is back as the Knights
coach. After a rough start to the Peninsula
Athletic League season, they dropped their
first three matches, the Knights are now enjoy-
ing a two-game winning streak.
Hillsdale beat Mills Wednesday and then
pummeled San Mateo 16-3 Thursday.
“Monkey’s off our back,” Hodzic said. “I
think better days are ahead.”
Hillsdale (2-3 PAL Ocean) came out flying
to start the match, scoring early and often and
all but putting the game on ice after a 7-0 first-
period lead. Hillsdale scored seven goals on its
first nine shots. Michael Sweeney, who fin-
ished with four goals and an assist, needed just
39 seconds to give Hillsdale a 1-0 lead and it
was all downhill for San Mateo (0-5) from
there.
Sweeney found the back of the cage again
37 seconds later and Jason Rudberg, who had
a match-high seven goals, gave Hillsdale a 3-
0 lead just 12 seconds later. Sweeney earned a
first-period hat trick 25 seconds after that.
All told, the Knights scored four times in
less than three minutes.
The Bearcats defense was in complete disar-
ray in the first quarter. They couldn’t keep up
with Hillsdale swimming-wise and when they
did, more often than not, they left a Hillsdale
attacker wide open for an easy shot on goal.
Credit the Bearcats, however, for tightening
things up defensively over the final three peri-
ods, as they held the Knights to 10 goals over
the final 21 minutes.

Farewell
T
his is my final column for the Daily
Journal. As some of you know by
now, I’m leaving the Journal after
six and a half years. I’m not departing for
another job — frankly, I believe one doesn’t
exist — but for a change of scenery in Utah,
a place I’ve long admired.
Most sports columnists dedicate their
farewell pieces to the athletes and coaches
they were most influenced by or a story that
proved to be particularly moving. However,
I’m going to take a different route. This col-
umn will be dedicated to my co-workers,
many of whom I will continue to keep in
contact with long after I’m gone.
They made the last six and a half years
some of the best of my life, an experience
I’ll never forget. Like the thousands of ath-
letes, coaches and
teams I wrote about
over the years, the
reporters at the Daily
Journal — bar none,
the best in the business
— deserve praise as
well.
Due to space con-
siderations — this is a
newspaper, after all —
I won’t be able to
write about everyone at the Daily Journal on
an in-depth basis. But there are plenty of
special people, from the advertising repre-
sentatives/business staff of Charlotte
Andersen, Jennifer Bishop, Robert O’Leary,
Kris Skarston, Gloria Brickman, Mark
Aspillera, Keith Blake, Gale Green and Jeff
Palter to the production department of Nicola
Zeuzem and Julio Lara to marketing and
events coordinator Kerry McArdle.
Know this — there isn’t a better place to
work in America.
I truly believe that, and that’s why my
decision to leave was nothing short of excru-
ciating. So here goes, a dedication of sorts to
the publisher and editorial members who
help make the Journal the best local paper on

Johnson ready for new role with 49ers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Mike
Johnson had been mapping out a
strategy to fix San Francisco’s
struggling offense long before
coach Mike Singletary phoned late
Sunday night and asked the 49ers
quarterbacks coach for his plan.
When Singletary decided to make
a change less than 24 hours later
and fired offensive coordinator
Jimmy Raye, Johnson was ready.
Johnson found himself in a simi-
lar situation seven years ago in
Atlanta when Wade Phillips

Raiders defense shows signs of improvement
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The Oakland
Raiders spent much of this offseason
trying to bolster a defense that strug-
gled to stop the opposition too often
last season.
The Raiders used their first two draft
picks on middle linebacker Rolando
McClain and defensive end Lamarr
Houston, as well as bringing in veter-
ans like Kamerion Wimbley, Quentin
Groves and John Henderson in a near-
total overhaul of the starting front
seven.
Three weeks into the season, the
Raiders are allowing more than 100
yards fewer per game than they did a
year ago. That’s a sign of some

plan to turn
things around.
“It’s some-
thing that I’ve
thought about
for a long time,”
Johnson said
Thursday,
Mike Johnson speaking for-
mally for the
first time since being promoted to
replace Raye. “It’s something I just
didn’t come up with that night. He
didn’t tell me anything the night
before and I didn’t ask why. I went
back home and put it together and
brought it to him in the morning.”
Singletary initially said after
Sunday’s loss at Kansas City that he

fix on that side of the ball.
“It’s down, but what’s the end
result?” defensive tackle Tommy Kelly
asked. “You’re still walking off the
field with your head between your
legs. You’re so hurt because you lost. I
mean, we’re getting better. You all can
see that, we can see that. But we got a
long way to go before we’re a No. 1
defense.”
The Raiders (1-2) are tied for second
in the league in yardage allowed, giv-
ing up just 260.7 per game. But that
hasn’t translated into keeping teams off
the scoreboard as they have allowed
more than 25 points per game heading
into Sunday’s game against Houston.
Oakland gave up 38 points in a sea-
son-opening loss to Tennessee and 24

was keeping Raye. After returning
to the team’s facilities later that
night, the coach watched several
game films and changed his mind.
The 180-degree turnaround came
as a shock to some because of the
timing and Singletary’s supposed
support for Raye, though many in
San Francisco’s locker room wel-
comed the change.
“Mike might bring something
different to the table with the pass-
ing and the running game, and try
to mix it up,” tight end Delanie
Walker said. “I’m just looking for-
ward to seeing what we’re going to
do.”

last week at Arizona, although seven
came against the special teams follow-
ing a return for a touchdown on the
opening kickoff.
“That has to do with the red zone —
giving up touchdowns in the red zone
instead of field goals — and big plays,”
cornerback Stanford Routt said. “I
think that’s indicative of this game, that
you can play 60 plays real good, but if
you have one mental lapse, that can
wind up being seven points and that
can be the game. So, I think that the
moral to the story is you’ve got to be
focused and ready every play.”
The Raiders have been the worst
team defensively at stopping oppo-
nents near the end zone. Opponents
have gotten inside the Raiders 20-yard
line eight times this season and come
Running back Frank Gore is aver-
aging a career-low 3.7 yards per
carry and has only one touchdown
through three games.
Johnson, who had previous
coaching stops in San Diego,
Atlanta and Baltimore before join-
ing Singletary’s staff before the
2009 season, said he won’t make
radical changes to the offense. With
a little tweaking of the playbook,
Johnson believes the 49ers have
enough talent on their roster to be
contenders.
That might not sit well with frus-
trated San Francisco fans hoping
for major renovations. The winless
49ers went into the season with
playoff aspirations but now they’re
trying to prevent starting 0-4 for the
away with touchdowns on seven of
those trips.
The pass coverage has been particu-
larly susceptible on that part of the
field, allowing five touchdowns on just
seven throws from inside the 20,
including two last week by Arizona’s
Derek Anderson.
“For three years we’ve been one of
the very best red-zone defenses in foot-
ball,” coach Tom Cable said. “The
other day, it was the simple fact of
looking up a receiver in zone at a line-
backer spot. Just a very fundamental
thing down there.”
The Raiders need to fix up those
mistakes quickly with the high-pow-
ered Texans coming into Oakland on
Sunday. While the Raiders have held

“You have a certain way we’ve
been operating for the last 1 1/2
years and you can’t go in in one
week and change the entire play-
book,” Johnson said. “There will be
some different things but I don’t
think we’ll make a bunch of whole-
sale changes. We’re going to take
the same core plays, the same core
concepts and make them look a lit-
tle different to the opponent and
then see if we can have a different
result.”
Singletary, who does not talk to
the media on Thursdays, insists his
own philosophy for San Francisco’s
offense remains the same: a physi-
cal, balanced attack with an empha-
sis on the ground game.
250 yards of offense each of the past
two weeks, slowing down Matt
Schaub and the Texans will be much
more difficult.
With NFL leading rusher Arian
Foster complementing a passing game
that features All-Pro receiver Andre
Johnson, the Texans have gained more
than 400 yards per game so far this
season.
“When you talk about Houston, first
thing in your mind is No. 80,” Oakland
defensive coordinator John Marshall
said. “He is an outstanding player and
God has given him great gifts, and he
uses them. But he’s not the only wide
receiver on that team. Jacoby Jones
and Kevin Walter, if you watch them,
they’re big time players. They really
are.”

Skyline-Oakland (0-3) at
Carlmont (2-2), 3 p.m.
The Titans are coming off a 21-6 loss to
Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland last week. The Scots
snapped a 21-game losing streak to Aragon,
winning 20-6.
Through the 1990s and the early 2000s,
Skyline was one of the top programs in Northern
California, constantly in the conversation of best
teams not named De La Salle. Over the last sev-
eral years, however, the program has fallen on
hard times. The Titans have not had a winning
season since 2004 and over the last three years,
they’ve won a total of six games.
This year, Skyline has scored a total of 21
points, while allowing 113.
The Scots have already proven this year won’t
be like 2009. The Scots started 3-1 last year
before dropping six straight, allowing 30 points
or more five times during the skid and six times
overall. This year, they’ve only allowed 30 or
more once as their defense is averaging 19
points allowed. Last week against Aragon, run-

The Bears are coming off a bye having lost

last week.
Having suffered through a 1-9 campaign
last year, M-A is off to a slow start again this
season, struggling on both sides of the ball.
The Bears defense is allowing over 28 points

After opening the season with a losing-
streak busting win against Aragon, the
Bearcats have suffered a bit of a hangover.
They slipped by Carlmont two weeks ago, 14-

Sequoia is going way out of the section for

If nothing else, the trip should provide a bond-

the underdog, but it wouldn’t be a shock if
they came out on top. They beat Monte Vista

to Carlmont.
Two games into the season and Capuchino
already looks different than the 0-9 2009
squad. Despite being 1-1, the Mustangs easily
could be 2-0 — or 0-2. But they showed
heart, determination and a never-quit attitude
against Mt. Eden. Down to a second-string
quarterback who had never played the posi-
tion, Enrico Zermeno led the Mustangs to the
game-winning score with just over two min-
utes to play. Logan Soli, the Daily Journal’s
reigning Athlete of the Week, did a little bit of
everything on offense, defense and special
teams to help lead Cap to the win.
It’s been a “What the!…” season for the
Dons. After seeing an 11-game winning streak
against San Mateo snapped in Week 1, Aragon
saw a 21-game winning streak against
Carlmont go by the way side last week.
Turnovers have been the Dons’ biggest
problem so far this year. Against San Mateo,
Aragon turned the ball over five times. They
did the same thing against Carlmont. Those
results offset the fact Aragon has not been bad
at all on offense this year. The Dons racked up
370 yards of offense against San Mateo and
amassed 356 yards against Carlmont.

The Panthers are coming off a tough 14-7

Burlingame’s two losses came against teams
that will make the Central Coast Section play-
offs. And despite those losses, the Panthers’
defense played well, having given up 35
points — 21 to Palo Alto and 14 to
Homestead.
After a 20-point outburst in a season-open-

has gone silent, being shut out in its last two
games. Defense hasn’t been much better for
the Wildcats, as they’re allowing an average
of 31 points per game.
said. “With that said, I believe we have
enough talent — if we play as a unit — to be
competitive in the league this season.”
Serra’s defense was particularly stout
against Monte Vista, with Nick Alspaugh and
Juan Rodriguez combining for 17 tackles.
After the Week 1 loss to De La Salle, Walsh
said there’s never really a drawback of playing
a program of that caliber, no matter what the
score. Turns out he was spot on, because the
Padres came away from the game fitter,
tougher and knowing the areas they needed to
improve.
“We realized (after the DLS game) that we
must improve, and improve quickly in the
base fundamentals of the game: Blocking and
tackling,” Walsh said.
And Serra did just that.

Gonzalez (15-9) couldn’t find the strike
zone in the fourth inning, walking Justin
Smoak and Adam Moore on nine pitches.
Matt Mangini sacrificed the runners over.
Michael Saunders drew a two-out walk to
load the bases, but Josh Wilson flied out to
center field to end the threat.

Mariners starter Doug Fister. Jeremy Hermida
singled to lead off the fifth inning and Rajai

Davis from third. Fister had Ellis picked off at
first base, but Barton induced a throw home
that allowed Ellis to reach second safely. Jack
Cust then singled to score Barton and Ellis to
give the A’s a 4-0 lead.
Kevin Kouzmanoff singled to lead off sixth
inning and Carter homered to left field to give
Oakland a 6-0 lead and chase Fister.
Pennington and Davis singled off reliever
Brian Sweeney to put runners on the corners.
Davis then stole second base and an errant
throw from catcher Moore went into center
field, allowing Pennington to score from third
for a seven-run lead.
Pennington added a home run off Anthony
Varvaro in the eighth inning to extend the lead
to 8-0. Seattle’s run scored in the eighth
inning. Smoak singled and advanced to sec-

where in the pool, the Knights came up with
11 steals in the first half alone and finished
with 17. The defensive pressure also forced
the Bearcats into a number of turnovers.
Hillsdale increased its lead to 9-0 on goals
from Matt Velichko, who had two goals and
four assists, and a tally from Matt Amaya.
San Mateo finally got on the scoreboard
with just over two minutes left in the second
period, when Anton Vaisberg surprised every-
one by scoring from the mid-pool area. The
Bearcats’ other two goals came in the fourth
period. Peter Lebo scored on a nice, skipping
shot that went under the arm of Hillsdale
goalie Clark Lawson and Daniel Martins con-
verted a Lebo pass into a goal when the
Bearcats had a man advantage.
Other than that, however, Lawson was rock
solid in the cage for Hillsdale, finishing with
13 saves. Lawson even recorded an assist and
did an excellent job sending long lead passes
the length of the pool to launch the Hillsdale
offense.
Bobby Dorst added two goals for Hillsdale
and Nick Cassin also got on the scoreboard
with a goal as well.
“Recently, the offense has been kicking in,”
Hodzic said.
It’s clear the Knights have the personnel to
be competitive this season. Their biggest
problem is depth. With only two subs, the
Knights are going to be in trouble when they
get into deep, large pools or very physical
matches.
“Talent’s not our problem. Depth is,”
Hodzic said.
That being said, they should have no prob-
lems holding their own when it comes to PAL
Ocean Division play. Of Hillsdale’s three
league losses, two have come to Half Moon
Bay and Terra Nova — the only two unde-
feated teams in the Ocean Division. The third
was against Woodside Priory.
“We lost a close one to Terra Nova. We lost
a close one to Priory. We look forward to
playing them again,” Hodzic said. “We’re def-
initely better than our record suggests.”

THE DAILY JOURNAL
LEE
Continued from page 13
Jerry Lee, publisher
He’s the reason why the Journal still exists
today. Having taken majority ownership of the
paper a while back, Jerry’s passion for local
news and the industry in general is nothing
short of magnificent. His vision, business
sense and motivation to be great is what makes
the Journal a superb product. More important-
ly, he’s someone whom I consider a friend for
life.
Jon Mays,editor in chief
All great organizations starts with the leader-
ship at the top. With that said, much of the
Journal’s excellence is a reflection of Jon, who
models his managerial style after Cincinnati
Reds skipper Dusty Baker. It’s easy to see
why. Like Baker, Jon lets his players — in this
case, reporters — do their job.
However, whenever Jon felt like anyone
needed a kick in the butt or guidance, he pro-
vided it. Countless times I asked Jon for
advice — not just about my stories but for life
dealings, too — and I’ve never met anyone
with a stronger news sense. His passion and
insatiable appetite for reading and learning —
Jon subscribes to a number of papers, includ-
ing two of my favorites in The New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal — is sec-
ond to none.
That’s not all, however. The editorials in the
paper that creates dialogue and serious discus-
sion among our readers? Those fine master-
pieces are all written by Jon, a tremendous
writer indeed.
Heather Murtagh,reporter
One of the Journal’s most versatile writers.
Whether she’s spinning a hard news story,
crafting a heartfelt profile or writing about fun
and whimsical topics, Heather can do it all. An
award-winning writer who took home a boun-
ty of honors at this year’s Peninsula Press Club
Awards, you could always count on Heather to
come into the office with a smile and accentu-
ate the positive.
But the best thing I can say about Heather is
nothing she’s done career-wise will compare to
her contributions to society outside of the
office. Heather has a heart of gold, having
worked countless hours with the Make-A-
Wish Foundation. Heather has dealt with
numerous kids who often die prematurely, fac-
ing situations you wouldn’t wish upon your
worst enemy.
SPORTS
But she’s there for them, giving them a rea-
son to smile, ever so briefly. And in the game
of life, that makes Heather the ultimate winner.
Michelle Durand, senior reporter
She comes up with more scoops than Baskin
Robbins. Quite simply the best columnist in
Northern California — that’s including the
biggest newspapers, too. Michelle’s gift of
gab, humor, prose and ability to turn a phrase
make her “Off the Beat” column must-see-
reading.
For those who don’t read it — and shame on
you if you don’t, it appears every Tuesday and
Thursday — you’re missing out on some great
material. Michelle’s quaint, homespun style
makes her unique, separating her from the rest.
All columnists have a voice. But what sepa-
rates a great columnist from a merely above-
average one is you don’t need to see their
photo to know who you’re reading.
Ninety percent of the time, I know I’m read-
ing Michelle’s column after reading the first
paragraph. I envy that type of talent.
Erik Oeverndiek,
copy editor/page designer
Arguably the MVP of the Journal news
room. Erik does the job no one wants to do but
is arguably the most important — he lays out
all the pages, sans the sports section. It’s a
thankless job, having to lay out page after page
after page after page. Not only does it require
talent, but it takes some serious mental disci-
pline. Put other people in his position, and
they would go certifiably crazy.
No joke. But Erik is pure money, coming in
every day and producing a workmanlike effort
on a consistent basis. He’s the epitome of what
the Journal is all about: Hard-working, talented
and efficient.
Bill Silverfarb,reporter
This guy is only getting better by the story.
Three years ago, Bill was in Erik’s position.
He left for the San Francisco Examiner before
finding his way back to the Journal, now as an
ace reporter. Having been a copy editor for
most of his journalism career, Bill has devel-
oped into a rock-solid reporter, coming up
with angles and scoops that are the lifeblood to
any news section.
His yearning to learn, keen news sense and
passion for the job make him a one-of-a-kind
talent. Bill churns out copious amounts of
copy, the equivalent to what two to three
reporters at other papers produce on a daily
basis.
Nathan Mollat,sports editor

China rises and rises,yet still gets foreign aid
By Gillian Wong
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING —China spent tens of
billions of dollars on a dazzling
2008 Olympics. It has sent astro-
nauts into space. It recently became
the world’s second largest economy.
Yet it gets more than $2.5 billion a
year in foreign government aid —
and taxpayers and lawmakers in
donor countries are increasingly
asking why.
With the global economic slow-
down crimping government budg-
ets, many countries are finding such
generosity politically and economi-
cally untenable. Some also argue
that it deprives needier countries in
Africa and elsewhere.
Germany and Britain have moved
in recent months to reduce or phase
out aid. Japan, long China’s biggest
donor, halted new low-interest loans
in 2008.
“People in the U.K. or people in
the West see the kind of flawless
expenditure on the Olympics and
the (Shanghai) Expo and it’s really
difficult to get them to think the
U.K. should still be giving aid to
China,” said Adrian Davis, head of
the British government aid agency
in Beijing, which plans to wrap up
its projects in China by March.
“I don’t think you will have con-
ventional aid to China from any-
body, really, after about the next
three to five years,” he said.
Aid to China from individual
donor countries averaged $2.6 bil-
Fields of grass, soup kitchens at risk in Haiti

like I would never, ever, as long as I live,
complain on a film set again after living
through ‘Buried.’
“I’m not a fan of actors overly romanticiz-
ing their process, because it’s generally just
self-aggrandizement for the most part. But it
was tough, ‘Buried’ was really, really tough,
emotionally and physically. I left there
changed. And then to go on a great wide
open set like ‘Green Lantern,’ run around for
six or seven months playing a superhero was
pretty great.”
Reynolds got his start on television in the
1990s before breaking out with a starring
role in the 2002 campus comedy “Van
Wilder.” He landed a role in the comic-book
adaptation “Blade: Trinity,” starred in the
horror remake “The Amityville Horror” and
costarred in the crime thriller “Smokin’
Aces.”

Paul’s oxygen is.
From his desperate calls, we quickly gather
that our sardine is a contract truck driver in
Iraq whose convoy was ambushed. He’s being
held hostage for ransom by an Iraqi who calls
him to demand he raises $5 million in a mat-
ter of hours.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
“It was one of those
situations where it may not have been
the most ideal situation for that character,but
I’ll be damned if someone else was going to play it.”
His career has defied categorization as
Reynolds moved from action to comedy to
romance with such love stories as
“Definitely, Maybe” and last year’s Sandra
Bullock hit “The Proposal.”
Reynolds also took on a role in last year’s
Marvel Comics superhero adventure “X-
Men Origins: Wolverine.” Though it was a
small part, he got to play the mutant merce-
nary Deadpool, a comic-book character he
particularly loved growing up.
“It was one of those situations where it
may not have been the most ideal situation
for that character, but I’ll be damned if
someone else was going to play it,” said
Reynolds, who hopes a script in develop-
ment for a “Deadpool” spinoff will come to
pass.
That could put Reynolds in a rare position
Paul tries calling anyone he can — 911, the
State Department, his company, his family —
but he is mostly stymied. He’s transferred, put
on hold, subjected to pettier concerns of legal-
ity and family squabbles and managed like a
public relations problem.
The politics of “Buried” aren’t exactly
refined. There’s outrage over bureaucratic
indifference, but “Buried” works better in rep-
resenting the more simple frustration of hold
music and disinterested receptionists.
The biggest surprise of “Buried” is that it’s
not pure torture. Cortes, with director of pho-
tography Eduard Grau, vary their angles
— Ryan Reynods
in Hollywood, where more and more actors
sign on for superhero franchises. If things go
his way, Reynolds would have two.
“I don’t want to put the cart before the
horse. I don’t have two superhero franchis-
es,” Reynolds said. “If the pieces fit togeth-
er in the right way, then I’m there. It’s cer-
tainly something I’m passionate about,
because I’ve known it for so long, and I
know the mythology so well. It’s a great
character. He’s a true anti-hero, and that’s
why I like him.”
Reynolds’ character in “Buried” is any-
thing but a superhero. He plays an ordinary
guy who wakes up in a nightmare situation,
stuck underground with a dying cell phone,
running up against a cold and distant
bureaucracy as he desperately calls for help.
“I loved some of the themes of it. I mean,
impressively. Drama, too, has enough room to
build from both the over-the-phone conflicts
and the more immediate problems of being
buried underground.
Reynolds, who has shown flashes of depth in
films like “Adventureland” but mostly
appeared in more conventional ones like “The
Proposal,” plays Paul in dramatic extremes. It’s
as if the actor and the filmmakers felt they had
dieted so much on setting that they had a right
to otherwise gorge themselves on hyperbole.
Whatever the reasons that draw us to the
movies, spending an hour-and-a-half trapped
in a box with Ryan Reynolds isn’t one of

this hidden enemy being bureaucracy. Not
terrorists and not a coffin and not a limited
oxygen supply, but bureaucracy’s going to
kill this guy,” Reynolds said. “This guy is
calling everybody he can to get some help,
and he’s being asked ridiculous questions
like his Social Security number, and people
don’t really necessarily believe him. They
don’t say it so much as you just hear it in the
tone of their voice.”
Reynolds is shooting the romantic comedy
“The Change-Up” this fall. And with “Green
Lantern,” he’ll be part of Hollywood’s
superhero summer next year, playing an
adventurer he describes as “Han Solo
crossed with Chuck Yeager.”
Given all the dark, brooding superheroes
running around on screen, Reynolds hopes
“Green Lantern” can lighten things up a bit.
“It’s a real classic kind of guy. It’s the guy
who can throw a punch, kiss the girl and tell
a joke. That’s something I’d love to see on
screen again, and I hoped it’s embraced for
that kind of spirit,” Reynolds said. “You
can’t be intermittently clenching your jaw
muscles in place of emotion. You’ve got to
be having a little fun with it, too.”
them. You will not see “Buried” for its lush
scenery, ensemble acting nor its chase
sequences.
Those who do seek it out will likely sit
nervously eyeing one’s moviegoing neigh-
bors, wondering if the theater is populated by
only masochists and “The Proposal” fans
(assuming those are mutually exclusive
groups).
But really, the interest here is getting an
answer to: “How’d they do that? How’d they
make such an uncinematic movie?”
Yes, “Buried” pulls off its trick. But few
besides magicians will be much impressed.

Think beyond cheese for broccoli
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When it comes to broccoli, there real-
ly is flavor beyond cheese sauce.
Not that cheese sauce is bad way to
mask some of the sulfurous smell and
assertive flavor many people object to
with this wonderfully healthy vegetable.
But there are healthier ways of dressing
it up, as in this savory, salty sauce made
from olives, capers and lemon juice.
While broccoli is always available, it
is at its best late summer through early
winter. Look for bunches that are dark
green with tightly closed florets. Avoid
broccoli that is limp, yellowing or has a
too strong an odor.
Preparation is simple — rinse the
broccoli thoroughly and separate the
stalks from the florets. The stalks are
edible and flavorful, but you should use
a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife
to remove the tough outer skin.
To achieve the most evenly cooked
broccoli, always cut the florets into con-
WEEKEND JOURANAL
sistently sized pieces. Since the tougher
stalks take longer to cook, it is best to cut
them into even smaller pieces.
To steam, put broccoli in a steamer
basket set over a large saucepan filled
with about an inch of water. Cover and
steam until tender, about 3 to 6 minutes.
To microwave, put about 4 cups of
stalks and florets in a microwave-safe
bowl. Add a few tablespoons of water,
then cover and microwave on high for 3
to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is just
tender.
Roasting concentrates the flavors. Toss
the broccoli in a tablespoon of extra-vir-
gin olive oil and roast at 450 F until ten-
der and the bottoms are well browned,
about 10 to 12 minutes.

Los Angeles, who co-authored AB12, said
extending housing and other benefits will help
the youths as they struggle to become adults
without support from their parents.
Related measure AB743 encourages keep-
ing siblings together in the foster care system.
Two others, AB1933 and SB1353, try to give
foster youth stability in their schooling.
The governor already has signed or vetoed
about 500 bills in a year when legislators and
Schwarzenegger were preoccupied with the
state’s $19 billion budget deficit.
Schwarzenegger took time out Thursday after-
noon to meet for two hours with legislative
leaders to try to end the state’s record-long
budget impasse, and another top-level meeting
was planned for the evening.
Under California law, the governor has until
Oct. 1 to act on bills that passed during the lat-
est legislative session. If he does nothing, the
bills automatically become law, according to
Schwarzenegger’s press office.
Among other bills signed by the governor:
• SB1317, letting prosecutors charge parents
with misdemeanors punishable by up to a year
in jail and a $2,000 fine if their kids miss too
much school. The bill by Sen. Mark Leno, D-
San Francisco, would let judges delay the pun-
ishment as an incentive for parents to get their
children to class. It applies to parents or
guardians of children age 6 or older in kinder-
garten through eighth grade. Prosecutors
would have to prove the parents failed to rea-
sonably supervise and encourage the student
to attend school.
• SB949, barring local governments from
writing their own vehicle codes and keeping
money collected in traffic tickets. The bill by

Association, who urged Schwarzenegger to
veto Assembly Bill 909, which he did
Wednesday.
San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer
is also president of the state police chief’s
group.
“A driver running a red light, whether they
are traveling straight, or turning right, makes
a very dangerous traffic movement that endan-
gers the nearby motoring public, bicyclists
and pedestrians,” Schwarzenegger said in his
veto statement. “Modifying existing law to
make red-light violations from a right turn
less egregious sends the wrong message to the
public that California is tolerant of these types
of offenses. It is our responsibility to protect
the motoring public and not increase the risk
of traffic collisions.”
Hill’s bill would have made the penalty for
the illegal right turns the same as when a
motorist gets pulled over by police for not
stopping at a stop sign.
The base fine for a right turn on a red light
violation would have dropped from $100 to
$35 under Hill’s bill, changing the total ticket
amount from about $450 to $219.
The higher fines will remain in place with

Sen. Jenny Oropeza, D-Long Beach, said her
bill will eliminate a patchwork of ordinances
and help with collecting accurate traffic safety
statistics.
• SB1057, requiring the Legislature and
state agencies to observe Veterans Day on Nov.
11. The bill by Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Merced,
was prompted by a veteran’s widow who com-
plained that lawmakers sometimes switched
their observance to a Monday or Friday to give
employees a three-day weekend.
• AB2084, restricting the beverages that can
be given children in the state’s daycare centers.
The bill by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley,
D-Santa Monica, prohibits centers from serv-
ing children drinks with natural or artificial
sweeteners. The centers can serve juice just
once each day, and it has to be 100 percent
juice. Milk served to children age 2 and older
must be 1 percent low-fat.
• SB1413, requiring the bulk of the state’s
public schools to provide students with free
and safe drinking water. The bill by Sen. Mark
Leno, D-San Francisco, is intended to promote
healthy eating habits in school cafeterias.
Schwarzenegger’s veto, however.
San Mateo Mayor John Lee also crafted a
letter to the governor asking him to veto the
bill.
Red-light cameras have faced scrutiny
across the country for a variety of reasons. In
San Mateo County, the civil grand jury urged
cities to adopt regional standards earlier this
year to implement red-light camera programs
and to evaluate the tickets handed out at a cen-
tral location.
Currently, most cities handle their own red-
light camera programs.
A bill authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian,
D-Palo Alto, called for statewide standards for
the installation and operation of red-light
cameras, but Senate Bill 1362 died in the
Assembly Appropriations Committee Aug.
13.
All of the traffic camera systems used by
police agencies in San Mateo County are pro-
vided by two private firms. Two cities,
Millbrae and South San Francisco, contract
with American Traffic Solutions and the rest
with Redflex Traffic Solutions.
Some cities on the Peninsula have scrapped
red-light cameras, such as Burlingame and
San Carlos, for actually costing the city more
than the devices raise in fines. Belmont, how-
ever, just installed the cameras at Ralston
Avenue and Old County Road, one of the
city’s busiest intersections.

REQUEST FOR PRE-QUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS COMMENCING

WITH FORTHCOMING PUBLIC WORK BID

Notice is hereby given that the Highlands Recreation District has determined that all bidders on Child Care
Development Center Project to be undertaken by the Highlands Recreation District must be pre-qualified prior
to submitting the Child Care Development Center Project. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to
submit a bid, fully complete the pre-qualification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be
approved by Highlands Recreation District to be on the final qualified Bidders list. No bid will be accepted
from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a
bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint
Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is October
13, 2010. Contractors are encouraged to submit pre-qualification packages as soon as possible, so that they
may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their pre-qualification status well in advance
of the bid advertisement for this project.

Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire, information about current bonding capacity and Over the Hedge Over the Hedge Over the Hedge
notarized statement from surety are required. Highlands Recreation District will use these documents as the
basis of rating Contractors in respect to the size and scope of contracts upon which each Contractor is quali-
fied to bid. Highlands Recreation District reserves the right to check other sources available. Highlands Recre-
ation District decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.

Highlands Recreation District reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualifica-
tion rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficient to disqual-
ify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures descri-
bed below for appealing a pre-qualification rating.

While it is the intent of the pre-qualification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist High-
lands Recreation District in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid Highlands Recreation Dis-
trict in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of pre-qualification, nor any pre-qualification rat-
ing, will preclude Highlands Recreation District from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a
bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has
demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness.

The pre-qualification packages should be submitted under seal and marked “CONFIDENTIAL” to Highlands
Recreation District 1851 Lexington Ave, San Mateo, CA 94402.
