To tax or to fee

Propositions 25, 26 aim to change
how California passes budgets,fees
By Emily DeRuy
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The percentage of legislative

votes needed to pass a budget and
certain fees will be decided by two
propositions on the Nov. 2 ballot.
Propositions 25 and 26 are oppos-
ing ballot measures. One would
reduce the vote requirement to pass
a budget from two-thirds to a simple
majority. The other would increase
the vote requirement to two-thirds
for state levies and charges.
Proposition 25 would allow a sim-
ple majority to pass a budget in the
Legislature. It stipulates that if the
legislators fails to pass a budget bill
by June 15 each year, they will per-
manently forfeit any reimbursement
of salary and expenses for every day
after a budget is not passed. It would
preserve the need for a supermajori-
ty vote to raise taxes.
Alternatively, Proposition 26
would require a Legislative vote of

Mercy High School students chop hair,donate to Locks of Love
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With “Pretty Woman” playing in
the background, girls cheered as
their Mercy High classmates
allowed volunteers to chop 8 to 10
inches of their hair off.
Friday’s rally wasn’t the ordinary
one associated with a big weekend
game. The girls of Mercy were com-
ing together as a culmination of a
week focused on breast cancer
awareness called Think Pink.
Donning various shades of pink, 22
girls opted to chop their hair yester-
day. Hair collected will be donated
to Locks of Love, a nonprofit organ-
ization that provides hair pieces to
young people under the age of 18
suffering from long-term medical
hair loss.
For one Mercy senior, 17-year-old
Chrystelle Azcona, the participation
had a personal meaning. At 4 years
old, Azcona was diagnosed with
alopecia universalis, a rare form of a
hair loss disease. She lost the hair on
her head, eyebrows, arms. People in
her preschool didn’t seem to notice
but others did, she recalled for the
packed room.
Her grandparents purchased a wig
for her.
“Putting on that wig, it made me
feel like a girl. It gave me back my
femininity. ... The wig changed my
life,” she said.
Today, Azcona has long blonde
hair but her hair loss could come
back at any time.
It was after her speech that girls
came forward to donate their hair.

over New Year’s Eve, and the couple
decided to get married in India.
The 26-year-old Perry’s single
“California Gurls,” from her second
album “Teenage Dream,” was one of the
top hits of the year.
Brand, 35, is known for his drug-
addled past and hedonistic tendencies,
but says he has lived a sober life for the
last few years. He recently starred in the
hit film comedy “Get Him to the Greek,”
and is next set to star as Trinculo in
Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and as the
title character in a remake of the 1981
Dudley Moore-Liza Minnelli film
“Arthur.”

Life on the Peninsula was wild and woolly
P
icture, if you will, massive hairy
beasts lumbering down the Peninsula
in groups of dozens, looking for a
good place to browse, their massive humped
heads swaying from side to side as they
sought a water hole to quench their thirst.
The largest mammal stood 12 feet high at
the head and tipped the scales at six to eight
tons in weight. Their shaggy coats consisted
of hair up to three feet in length, and jutting
out from alongside their mouths were tusks 10
feet long, curved inward the last three feet.
They would use these ivory tools for plowing
up the ground in search of food such as tubers
and roots. Once they found a site of good
grass and herbs, the group quieted down and
began in earnest to consume the 600 pounds
of vegetation each needed every day to main-
tain its life. After browsing for an hour or so,
they ambled over to a water hole to consume
some of the 40 gallons of water needed each
day to help digest the hundreds of pounds of
veggies each had eaten.

All went well until one animal walked in
too far and got stuck in the adhesive-like
gumbo mud that lined the water hole. Despite
its attempts, it could not release itself from the

One-hundred-thousand years passed. In
1943, Niels Schultz, developer of the
Highlands Addition in Millbrae, was asked to
develop homes for the many new workers that
had been brought here to man the machines of
industry that would win the World War II.
Schultz chose the vast undeveloped wet
marshlands east of El Camino Real and the
railroad tracks to build these houses —
Bayside Manor (adjacent to the present
Millbrae BART station). In excavating a foun-
dation for a house, a workman found a strange
set of bones that looked to him like an ele-
phant skeleton. Word was flashed to Dr. Frank
Stanger of the College of San Mateo history
department. Preliminary study by this founder
of the San Mateo County History Museum
suggested that these were not the bones of a
Monday • Oct. 25, 2010 3
circus elephant as first thought, but the bones
and tusks of a woolly mammoth that roamed
the Bay Area more than 100 thousand years
ago. Study by Dr. Charles Camp of the
Paleontology Department of the University of
California confirmed Dr. Stanger’s initial
study. The bones, along with numerous fossil
pine cones and seeds, paint a picture of an
entirely different climate, along with vegeta-
tion and animal types that accompanied this
cool climate.
Camels?
In fact, the Bay Area has experienced many
other types of animal inhabitants over the past
million years, such as camels, antelope,
mastodons, beaver, horses, large cats like the
Saber-toothed tiger, hyena-like dogs, wild
pigs and rhinoceros to name a few of the
known fossils indicators already found. In the
past, the Bay was actually a low basin with an
exotic climate at times such as exists in
Panama today. This basin extended to the low-
lying mountains to the east that would
become the 10,000 foot Sierra Nevada we
know today.
It is very unlikely that the human migrants
from Asia were in contact with the hairy
mammoths found here, but we are confident
that contact by humans did occur in many
other parts of the North America Continent.
The mammoth’s teeth have been on display
at the San Mateo County Museum, a tribute to
the earlier and hairy-er inhabitants of the Bay
Area.

majority vote that currently suffices to pass

allocations. The initiative would also require
voters to approve by either two-thirds or a
simple majority local levies and charges.
Proponents of Proposition 25 say it would
allow voters to hold legislators accountable if
they fail to pass a budget on time. They also
point out that 47 other states allow their budg-
ets to be passed with a simple majority and
argue following suit would reduce legislative
gridlock in California.
Jonathan Karpf, a biological anthropology
lecturer at San Jose State University and a
member of the California Faculty
Association’s Board of Directors, said delays
in passing a state budget harm education.
Budgets for K-12 education in particular,
state budget in place, resulting in a reduction
in services and forced federal minimum wage
for some workers.
“Because of state dysfunction, schools
don’t get the funding they need,” said Karpf.
However, opponents of Proposition 25 say
schools should not necessarily expect an
increase in funding in dire economic times.
They also contend that Proposition 25 would
allow taxes to be raised without a supermajor-
ity vote by allowing them to be enacted as
part of the budget with a simple majority vote.
Teresa Casazza, president of the California
Taxpayers’ Association, said her organization
is concerned about the possibility of new
taxes appearing in budget bills should
Proposition 25 pass. She says the current
supermajority ensures a system of checks and
balances, and results in the passage of more
solid budgets.
“If the budget is not balanced and sound,
we’re all worse off,” said Casazza. “To give
It’s short-sighted to think we can spend more
money right now.”
Both the California Taxpayers’ Association
and the California Chamber of Commerce,
which is also opposing Proposition 25, are
supporting Proposition 26 because they say it
would prevent politicians from raising taxes
by disguising them as fees, which only
require approval by a simple majority.
Loren Kaye, president of the California
Foundation for Commerce and Education,
which is affiliated with the California
Chamber of Commerce, says Proposition 26
prohibits mislabeling.
“We’re opposed to Proposition 25 because
we think it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” said
Kaye. “Proposition 26 is truth in advertising.”
Kaye also said he has questions about
politicians actually suffering from the stipula-
tion in Proposition 25 that would punish leg-
islators for a late budget.
“The proponents of 25 are making a big
budget doesn’t need to be balanced, or even
signed,” argued Kaye. “It doesn’t have to be
serious. It’s an empty threat.”
Sierra Club California disagrees with the
California Chamber of Commerce on both
propositions, and backs Proposition 25 while
opposing Proposition 26. Bill Magavern,
director of Sierra Club California, says the
former initiative would prevent the minority
party from holding the budget hostage and
frustrating the will of the majority. He dis-
misses the latter as a polluter protection act,
one that forces taxpayers to clean up the dam-
age caused by polluting companies.
Alecia Sanchez, a legislative advocate for
the American Cancer Society, also thinks
Proposition 26 protects polluters, particularly
cancer-causing companies, by making it more
difficult to impose regulatory fees on pollut-
ing industries.
“It puts a stranglehold on moving forward
and on effective legislation,” said Sanchez.

Rodeo champ studies electrical engineering

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Twenty-year-old Hollie Kucera didn’t have

time to celebrate being crowned 2010 Miss
Grand National Rodeo last week, she needed
to get back to school for a lab.
The Atherton native is studying electrical
engineering at California Polytechnic State
University in San Luis Obispo.
“Not a lot of people in my major play
sports let alone do pageants,” she said, laugh-
ing when she explained the reaction by her
professors. Kucera had to share her rodeo
dreams with professors as a win would mean
missing a class on Friday night. But that did-
n’t stop Kucera from making multiple trips to
the Central Coast to take labs and mid terms.
In fact, the professor for the class she missed
Friday saw her on campus Friday morning
and was concerned Kucera’s presence meant
she didn’t take home the crown. In fact, that’s
the level of dedication she has for everything
she does.
Kucera was one of a number of girls last
week, ages 18 to 24, who were hoping to be
named the 2010 Miss Grand National Rodeo.
“Think about it like a beauty pageant but
horse skills are their talent,” said Karen
Rosenthal who organized the event. “We
were looking for an all around girl. Five
judges have to agree, and that’s not easy.
A weekly look at the people
who shape our community
She’s an all around girl.”
Girls were tested on horsing skills as well
as knowledge and ability to represent the
rodeo.
Kucera, who was riding Spookey’s Moada,
felt that she did well on horseman ship – a
category she won – however, thought she
may be too young for the title. When girls

Unsealed church docs show abuse allegations
By Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for near-
ly 150 people who claim sexual abuse
by Roman Catholic priests made near-
ly 10,000 pages of previously sealed
internal church documents public
Sunday, revealing at least one previ-
ously unknown decades-old case in
which a priest under police investiga-
tion was allowed to leave the U.S.
after the Diocese of San Diego inter-

After a three-year legal battle over

CPUC releases data on all fines issued since 1999
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The
California Public Utilities
Commission on Saturday released
information on all the fines it has
levied since 1999.
A CPUC database shows it has
issued fines of $170.9 million over
the past 11 years.
Court judge ruled late Friday that they
could be made public. The records are
from the personnel files of 48 priests
who were either credibly accused or
convicted of sexual abuse or were
named in a civil lawsuit.
The 144 plaintiffs settled with the
diocese in 2007 for nearly $200 mil-
lion, but the agreement stipulated that
an independent judge would review
the priests’ sealed personnel records
and determine what could be made
public.
The files show what the diocese
knew about abusive priests, starting
decades before any allegations
became public, and that some church

Obama likely to focus on deficit
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Preparing for
political life after a bruising elec-
tion, President Barack Obama will
put greater emphasis on fiscal disci-
pline, a nod to a nation sick of
spending and to a Congress poised
to become more Republican, con-
servative and determined to stop
him.
He is already giving clues about
how he will govern in the last two
years of his term.
Obama will try to make gains on
deficit reduction, education and
energy. He will enforce his health
care and finan- Bush-era tax cuts, even for the

Obama will have to decide whether might seem like dry, Washington
to bend to Republican and growing talk. Not now. People are fed up
Democratic pressure to extend with federal spending, particularly
as many remain jobless.
The White House refuses to talk
about how the president will have to
adjust his style or goals if power in
Congress tilts right, for fear of
undermining what Obama is still
campaigning hard to do: keeping
Democrats in power. There is no
conceding as Obama recruits voters
and rallies supporters all the way to
Nov. 2.
Yet if polls and analysts are on
target, Republicans are poised to
win big, possibly taking control of
the House and gaining seats in the
Senate, where Obama’s party
already lacks the votes to overcome
bill-killing delay tactics. Obama
probably will operate in an environ-
ment with even fewer moderate
Republicans.
The president has signaled that at
the start of the new year, he will
speak more directly to the country
about the financial choices ahead.
“If we’re going to get serious about
the deficit, then we’re going to have
to look at everything: entitlements,
defense spending, revenues. ... And
that’s going to be a tough conversa-
tion,” he said.
It’s one that will be framed by a
bipartisan debt commission, whose
ideas this December will give
Obama political cover on where to
suggest unpopular cuts.

By Juliana Barbassa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
SAN FRANCISCO — When
Rohan Coombs joined the U.S.
Marine Corps, he never thought one
day he would be locked up in an
immigration detention center and fac-
ing deportation from the country he
had vowed to defend.
Coombs, 43, born in Jamaica,
immigrated to the United States legal-
ly as a child with his family. He
signed up to serve his adopted nation
for six years — first in Japan and the
Philippines, then in the Persian Gulf
during the first war with Iraq.
Up to 8,000 non-citizens enlist in
the U.S. Armed Forces every year
and serve alongside American
troops. As of May 2010, there were
16,966 non-citizens on active duty.
The military does not allow illegal
immigrants to enlist.
If non-citizens die while serving,
they are given citizenship and a mili-
tary funeral. If they live and get in
trouble with the law, as Coombs did,
they can get caught in the net of a
1996 immigration law that greatly
expanded the list of crimes for which
non-citizens can be deported.
“As far as I was concerned, I was a
citizen,” said Coombs, whose soft-
spoken, introspective nature contrast
with his physical presence. Coombs
stands 6 foot 5 and weighs more than
260 pounds — a gentle giant, accord-
ing to his fiancee, Robyn Sword.
Now advocates of non-citizen
servicemen and women are trying
to change that. Attorneys are taking
cases like Coombs’ to court, argu-
ing that an immigrant who serves in
the Armed Forces should be consid-
ered a U.S. national and protected
from deportation.
“These are people who served us —
whether they are model human beings
or not,” said Coombs’ attorney, Craig
Shagin of Harrisburg, Pa. “They
served in our uniforms, in our wars. If
they were POWs, they’d be consid-
ered American prisoners.”
Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., chairman
of the House Veterans’ Affairs
Committee, is looking into potential
changes to the law so immigrants who
serve in the military can avoid depor-
tation.
“You come back from Iraq or
Afghanistan today, you have put your-
self on the line for this country,” said
Filner. “An incredible number of kids
come back with an injury or illness
that puts them in trouble with the law.
To simply have these people deported
is not a good way to thank them for
their service.”

Waiting for Superwoman
I
f you have seen the documen-
tary “Waiting for Superman,”
you know that Michelle Rhee,
the reforming Washington, D.C.
school chancellor, is out, following
the bitter defeat of the mayor, her
partner in overhauling the capital’s
failing schools.
Now there is speculation that Rhee
may be heading to California to be
near her fiancé, Sacramento mayor
and former NBA star, Kevin Johnson.
Could she end up in a major role in
Sacramento? ( New Jersey’s governor
has already offered her the job of run-
ning his state’s schools). I mentioned
this to a teacher friend who shuddered
at the thought. Teachers are the scape-
goat in the film and Rhee is consid-
ered the evil woman out to get them.
Ironically, my friend was also
bemoaning state education cuts which
could mean some existing staff would
not be returning in January. They
would be replaced on the basis of sen-
iority, not by experience or expertise
in the impacted classrooms. Very hard
on the children, especially when they
are young, to have new teachers when
you return to school after the winter
holiday break. I remembered Rhee’s
line in the film when she is talking
about opposition to reforms.
“It’s about adults, not the children,”
she said. I asked, couldn’t there be a
waiver? No, there is no way we can
break the union contract and the dis-
trict has no extra funds to come to the
rescue.
***
Rhee is right. It isn’t about the chil-
dren. It is about adults losing their
jobs. And when push comes to shove,
as in a teachers strike about more pay
or more benefits or radical change,
parents and students side with the
teachers, just as they did in D.C.
Busting the union is not the answer
nor as easy as it was to replace airport
controllers when Ronald Reagan was
president. The union’s job is to protect
their members’ jobs and they will
continue to be a force especially in
California.

Feminine forever?
“I
f you don’t really need a
drug, any risk is unac-
ceptable.” — Dr. Philip
Dorfman (FDA 1994).
Did you hear or read about the
latest results of a long-term study
by The Women’s Health Initiative
to see what has happened to women
who have taken hormone replace-
ment therapy (HRT) for years for
problems related to menopause? It
has been reported there is a greater
risk of breast cancer when they’ve
taken the drug Prempro, the estro-
gen-progestin medication for any
length of time, and that these can-
cers are more aggressive and result
in more deaths. It is also reported
that there was more incidence of
lung cancer among this group.
This is absolutely outrageous.
The pharmaceutical company was
able to foist this drug on doctors
and menopausal women without
first having to do a study to deter-
mine and analyze any possible side
effects. A great many doctors swal-
lowed the industry hype hook, line
and sinker and tried to put all
women “of a certain age” on HRT
and allowed them to stay on it for a
long time without knowing what
problems it might cause. The phar-
maceutical industry and the medical
establishment toyed with women’s
health in this way for so many
years without due caution while
women suffered and died. This was
an unprecedented wedding between
the medical establishment and the
pharmaceutical industry.

critical factor in student achievement
is a good teacher. The countries which
have the most successful school sys-
tems (again measured by student
achievement) are where standards are
high to enter the profession. Teachers
are chosen from the top third of col-
lege graduates. In the United States,
teachers often come from the bottom
(in San Mateo County, we do much
better than that because this is a desir-
able place to work). Our schools of
education do not adequately prepare
teachers for what they face in the real
world (bureaucratic rules, children
without nurturing parents). If it was as
challenging to enroll in a school of
education as it was law or medical
school, you would see the best and
brightest of our graduates going into
teaching. Yes, earnings are a factor.
But not the main incentive. It’s the
prestige and knowing you are entering
a field in which merit and hard work
count. That’s why programs such as
Teach for America and the programs
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his
educational chancellor, Joel Klein,
have introduced in New York City
show promise. So do the KIP schools,
where students spend more time in
school as do the teachers.

San Mateo had an earlier version of
Michelle Rhee, 30 years ago, when
Dave Thomas was superintendent of
the elementary district. Thomas was a
West Point graduate and not your typ-
ical administrator. He targeted ineffec-
tive principals for his purge. At the
time, principals were selected on the
basis of seniority, not expertise. A
majority of the principals, Thomas
found when he came to San Mateo,
were former physical education teach-
ers. A few made good principals, but
most did not. He couldn’t fire them

Since the 1960s, women have
been guinea pigs in one of the
biggest experiments on their repro-
ductive health ever — taking hor-
mones for an extended time to ease
the discomforts of menopause. This
time of life has always been dread-
ed by most women who consider it
a signal that youth is over, and
believing many myths that depict
this passage as a miserable — if
not debilitating — experience,
would just as soon not think about
it until they have to. In 1966, along
came Dr. Robert A. Wilson and his
very well-promoted book,
“Feminine Forever,” that was pub-
lished shortly after HRT was intro-
duced. He promised a youthful
appearance for life, protection from
cardiovascular disease, osteoporo-
sis, shriveling of the tissues in “cer-
tain” areas and serious mental
decline if a woman went on HRT.
Every doctor I consulted for one
thing or another during the ’80s and
’90s asked me why I wasn’t on
HRT. None that I encountered
seemed to be concerned that HRT
had never been studied to find out if
it was effective for all the problems
it claimed to relieve or, most impor-
tant, that it was safe.
The first Women’s Health
Initiative study, begun in 1998, was
ended early in 2002 because it was
found that “associated health risks
of Prempro therapy outweighed the
benefits.” But apparently not many
doctors or women took the results
seriously since they were able to

ers) so he reassigned them to a class-
room. Several decided to retire
instead. Thomas was criticized by the
teachers, the unions and parents. But
when he left to take over the Santa
Barbara schools, suddenly everyone
realized how great he was and how he
had turned around lackluster schools.
Some of his hires from the outside,
Rick Damelio and Julian Crocker,
went on to become district superin-
tendent.
***
In the media rush to discuss
“Waiting for Superman,” Matt Lauer
of The Today Show asked viewers to
help our schools. And one way we
can help is to support school bonds
and parcel taxes on the November
ballot. That would include Measure O
for the San Mateo Union High School
District which is getting a bad rap
because it includes a new continuation
school at a central location and the
possible sale of Crestmoor. If the dis-
trict was a business and not a school
district, Crestmoor would have been
sold years ago. The high school,
which was closed in 1980, has been
an expensive albatross around the
financially strapped district’s neck.
But San Bruno officials want the
school to remain open even though it
serves only 58 San Bruno students
because the community loves to use
the fields. Of course, it is possible for
the school to be sold and the fields to
remain open for community use.
Nearly 250 students attend Peninsula,
the continuation school housed at
Crestmoor. The annual operation and
maintenance cost is $234,446. The
41-acre site could probably garnish
$30 million-$60 million. It is up in the
hills with beautiful views. Meanwhile,
a school with 240 students requires a
facility with only 30,000 square feet.
Because it is inaccessible, the district
continue a version of the study for
eight more years. Yet, according to
the report in The Journal of the
American Medical Association, “It
is not known whether there is any
length of time for which these hor-
mones can be taken without
increasing breast cancer risk.”
Women need to learn well before
the age of menopause that life is
not over just because their periods
stop and that looking one’s age isn’t
a calamity. I know many women in
their 70s and 80s who never were
on HRT who are doing amazingly
well. Believe it or not, they have
their wits about them and haven’t
been debilitated by any of the mal-
adies that HRT is supposed to pre-
vent. You can’t help but wonder
what else will surface from such
women’s studies and how many
other drugs with potentially serious
side effects have been unnecessarily
prescribed.
Women (and doctors) need to
know that the process of “the
change” is different for each one of
us; that some women experience
very little discomfort, and that it
doesn’t last forever. Women who
have problems may benefit greatly
by changing their lifestyle first
before they resort to pharmaceuti-
cals. But, of course, starting to eat
healthfully, exercising, stopping
smoking, cutting down on drinking
and easing stress when a woman
begins to notice indications of
menopause won’t do half as much
good as building strong bones and a

CAMARILLO — A new survey finds the average price of

The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday says
the price of a gallon of regular is $2.82.
Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gal-
lon of mid-grade was $2.96, and premium was at $3.07.
St. Louis had the lowest average price among cities sur-
veyed at $2.59 a gallon for regular. San Francisco was high-
est among surveyed cities at $3.16.
Diesel was at $3.12, up nearly three cents.

Employers starting to brace
for health insurance reform
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The new health
care law wasn’t supposed to undercut
employer plans that have provided most
people in the U.S. with coverage for
generations.
But last week a leading manufacturer
told workers their costs will jump partly
because of the law. Also, a Democratic
governor laid out a scheme for employ-
ers to get out of health care by shifting
workers into taxpayer-subsidized insur-
ance markets that open in 2014.
While it’s too early to proclaim the
demise of job-based coverage, corporate
number crunchers are looking at options
that could lead to major changes.
“The economics of dropping existing
coverage is about to become very attrac-
tive to many employers, both public and
private,” said Gov. Phil Bredesen, D-
Tenn.
That’s just not going to happen, White
House officials say.

Affordable Care Act is that for many,

WASHINGTON — Future tractor-
trailers, school buses, delivery vans,
garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup
trucks must do better at the pump under
first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming
from the Obama administration.
The Environmental Protection Agency
and the Transportation Department are
moving ahead with a proposal for medi-
um- and heavy-duty trucks, beginning
with those sold in the 2014 model year
and into the 2018 model year.
The plan is expected to seek about a

Furman, an economic adviser to
President Barack Obama.
Yet at least one major employer has
shifted a greater share of plan costs to
workers, and others are weighing the
pros and cons of eventually forcing
employees to strike out on their own.
“I don’t think you are going to hear
anybody publicly say ’We’ve made a
decision to drop insurance,’ “ said Paul
Keckley, executive director of the
Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.
“What we are hearing in our meetings is,
’We don’t want to be the first one to drop
benefits, but we would be the fast sec-
ond.’ We are hearing that a lot.” Deloitte
is a major accounting and consulting
firm.
“My conclusion on all of this is that it
is a huge roll of the dice,” said James
Klein, president of the American
Benefits Council, which represents big
company benefits administrators. “It
could work out well and build on the
employer-based system, or it could
begin to dismantle the employer-based
system.”

Overall, the proposal is expected to
seek reductions of 10 percent to 20 per-

offer health insurance instead of pay
raises. About 150 million workers and
family members are now covered.
When lawmakers debated the legisla-
tion, the nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office projected it would only
have minimal impact on employer plans.
About 3 million fewer people would be
covered through the job, but they’d be
able to get insurance elsewhere.
Two provisions in the new law are
leading companies to look at their plans
in a different light.
One is a hefty tax on high-cost health
insurance aimed at the most generous
coverage.
Although the “Cadillac tax” doesn’t
hit until 2018, companies may have to
disclose their exposure to investors well
before that. A Boeing spokeswoman said
concerns about the tax were partly
behind a 50 percent increase in insur-
ance deductibles the company just
announced.
The tax is 40 percent of the value of a
plan above $10,200 for individual cover-

The White House has pushed for
tougher fuel economy standards across
the nation’s fleet as a way to reduce
dependence on oil and cut greenhouse
gas emissions tied to global warming.
The fleet of new cars, pickup trucks
and SUVs will need to reach 35.5 mpg
by 2016, and the government is develop-

could push the standards to 47 mpg to 62

Raiders score 59, whip Broncos

By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The Oakland
Raiders scored touchdowns 8 sec-
onds apart to kick-start a rout of the
Denver Broncos that recalled so
many of the lopsided scores
between these former AFL teams in
the 1960s.
Behind Darren McFadden’s four
touchdowns, the Raiders scored the
most points in their 50-year history
Sunday with a 59-14 thrashing of
the demoralized Broncos.
The Raiders (3-4) won for the
third straight time at Invesco Field,
fueled by a 38-point outburst in the
first 22 minutes.
The Raiders kept the Broncos (2-
5) guessing until announcing short-
ly before kickoff that backup Jason
Campbell would start at quarterback
despite a sore knee in place of
Bruce Gradkowski (sore shoulder).
It didn’t seem to bother him one
bit, and McFadden certainly showed
no ill effects of a recent hamstring
injury in scoring on a pair of 4-yard
runs and a 19-yard reception in the
first half and on a 57-yard run in the
second.
Michael Bush got the handoff on
a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter
that made it 59-14. The only other
time the Raiders ran for five touch-
downs was at Indianapolis a decade
ago.

Golden State gears up for all kinds of change
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND— So much is new right now
for the Golden State Warriors.
Aggressive new owners. A new retro logo.
A young, energetic new coach who has wait-
ed nearly a decade for this chance. A handful
of new faces on the roster expected to make an
immediate impact.
Most notably: David Lee.Along with some
of the familiar, old go-to guys in Monta Ellis,
Rookie of the Year runner-up Stephen Curry
and Andris Biedrins.
There is refreshed opti-
mism around this franchise
to say the least.

want to see strides soon from a team that has
reached the playoffs just once since 1994 —
in an improbable run to the second round in
2007.
Their boldest move yet was letting Nelson
go last month, which meant paying his $6 mil-
lion salary for this season.
Now, it’s Smart’s turn to try to turn around
this longtime losing franchise for good.
Golden State has struggled to compete in the

Continued from page 11
The Raiders had never scored eight touch-
downs before, and since the franchise’s incep-
tion in 1960, they had never piled up more
than 52 points.
Born that same year, the Broncos allowed
this many points only one other time, in the
1963 season opener, which they lost to the
Kansas City Chiefs 59-7.
It got so bad that after McFadden’s 57-yard
jaunt down the Broncos’ sideline, the stream
of fans heading to the exits became a rush,
leaving the stadium with just a smattering of
die-hard supporters witnessing a historic
defeat.
Many of them must have been wondering,
“Can the NFL also crack down on beat-
downs?”
The last two times the Broncos lost at home
to Oakland by three or more touchdowns,
there was a coaching change after the season.
Wade Phillips left following a 48-16 whip-
ping in 1994, and his successor, Mike
Shanahan, was fired not long after a 31-10
loss to Oakland in 2008.
Shanahan was replaced by Josh McDaniels,
who is 4-13 since starting his first season with
six wins.
The Broncos, who have played the league’s
toughest schedule so far, emerged from a meat
grinder of a month hopeful of turning things
around with their first game against a divi-
sional opponent from the middling AFC West,
and they harped all week about a fast start
being the key.
Instead, it was the Raiders who jumped out,
scoring early and often.

down return that snapped a tie with 12:52 left.
The Panthers, though, then began an
impressive drive that seemed to stall at the
San Francisco 16 with just under 6 minutes
left. But normally conservative coach John
Fox decided to go for it on fourth-and-9.
Moore then found Gettis wide open in the
center of the end zone — and he dropped the
pass.
“I’m thankful that I got a second chance,”
Gettis said.
Moore, who came in completing just 42
percent of his passes and was benched for
Jimmy Clausen after Week 2, was 28 of 41
with both TDs to Gettis. The sixth-round pick
had eight catches for 125 yards, by far the best
performance by a receiver not named Steve
Smith.
“When you have a drop like that with the
circumstances, you could easily go in the
tank,” Smith said of Gettis. “He didn’t.”
Frank Gore rushed for 102 yards for San
Francisco, which hasn’t won a non-divisional
road game since Nov. 30 at Buffalo. Carr’s
miserable 5 of 13 performance for 67 yards
didn’t help.
The 49ers, who had 11 penalties, had to
shuffle their offensive line when Adam Snyder
replaced Chilo Rachal (stinger) in the first
quarter. Left tackle Joe Staley left briefly with
the same injury, and San Francisco managed
just 282 yards.
But just like owner Jed York’s bold claim
after the NFC West favorites started 0-5,
coach Mike Singletary still thinks they can
become the first club to start this poorly and
play in the postseason.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that some-
how, someway, we will regroup and keep
fighting,” Singletary said. “We’re going to
make a season of it, and I still believe we can
go to the playoffs. I still believe we can get
those things done.”

Steelers escape Dolphins; Pats edge Chargers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — The officials eventu-
ally got it right that Ben
Roethlisberger fumbled at the goal
line. The Dolphins were still left
feeling wronged.
An officiating mistake negated
Roethlisberger’s late fumble, and
the Steelers kicked the game-win-
ning field goal on the next play
Sunday. Jeff Reed made an 18-
yarder with 2:30 left, allowing
Pittsburgh to escape with a 23-22
win.
One play earlier, with Pittsburgh
trailing 22-20 and facing third-and-
goal at the 2, Roethlisberger fum-
bled as he dived across the goal line
on a quarterback draw. The play
was ruled a touchdown as both
teams scrambled for the loose ball
in the end zone.
After a replay review, referee
Gene Steratore announced that
Roethlisberger fumbled before scor-
ing. But Steratore said his crew had
no clear evidence as to which team
recovered the ball, and the Steelers
(5-1) were awarded possession at
the half-yard line, allowing Reed to
kick the winner.
The Dolphins (3-3) then lost the
ball on downs, gaining only 4 yards
in four plays.
Ravens 37, Bills 34 OT
BALTIMORE — The Bills came
close, but Billy Cundiff kicked a 38-
yard field goal with 10:57 left in
overtime after Ray Lewis stripped
the ball from tight end Shawn
Nelson, and Baltimore squeezed
past winless Buffalo (0-6).
Joe Flacco threw three touchdown
passes for the Ravens, who survived
an uncharacteristic performance by
a defense that was shredded for 505
yards.
Baltimore (5-2) trailed 24-10 late
in the first half before scoring 24
straight points to take a 10-point
lead into the fourth quarter.
Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick then
threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to
Lee Evans with 5:46 left, and the
Bills forced overtime on a 50-yard
field goal by Rian Lindell with 4
seconds left in regulation.
Fitzpatrick went 29 for 43 for 373
yards and four touchdowns — three
to Evans and another to Steve
Johnson.
Patriots 23, Chargers 20
SAN DIEGO — New San Diego
kicker Kris Brown missed a 50-yard
field goal attempt with 23 seconds
left as New England escaped with a
win.
Brown lined up to try a 45-yarder
that would have forced overtime,
but guard Louis Vasquez was whis-
tled for a false start. Moved back
five yards, Brown’s attempt was
long enough but bounced off the
right upright. Brown was signed last
week because Nate Kaeding has an
injured groin.
Leading by three with two min-

BenJarvus Green-Ellis was stuffed
for a 1-yard loss by Antwan

had challenged the spot of the previ-
ous play and lost, costing him his
final timeout. San Diego then
moved to the 27.
New England (5-1) pulled into a

the AFC East. The Chargers fell to
2-5.

Seattle took advantage of five

The Seahawks (4-2) took over
first place in the NFC West despite
an unimpressive performance. Four
times in the second half, Seattle had
possession inside the Arizona 20
and settled for Mare field goals on
each occasion.
Arizona rookie quarterback Max

handed interception and TD return
late in the third quarter were made
for the highlight reel and put the

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kerry
Collins threw three touchdowns to
Kenny Britt, who had the best game

Tennessee scored 27 unanswered

Britt had the best receiving game
in the NFL this season. He caught
touchdown passes of 26, 80 and 16
yards and finished with seven recep-
tions for 225 yards — all career
highs for the second-year player on
a day when he didn’t start as pun-
ishment for his role in the fight.
The Titans (5-2) won their NFL-
best 12th straight over the NFC with
Collins making his first start in a
year. Vince Young was sidelined by
a sprained left knee and ankle that
had him still limping in pregame

needed one for the struggling
Browns (2-5).
Scott Fujita and Sheldon Brown
also had interceptions for
Cleveland. Brees was sacked three
times, once by Fujita, a defensive

The Saints (4-3) trailed all game

than 20-10 on Brees’ 11-yard pass
to David Thomas early in the fourth

Johnson returned an interception for

Jacksonville’s Todd Bouman,
who hadn’t thrown a TD pass in the

signed this week after David
Garrard sustained a concussion and
backup Trent Edwards hurt his
thumb.
Still, the Jaguars (3-4) trailed by
only one point late in the third when
Bouman stepped up and threw an
ill-advised pass to Johnson, who
made a juggling interception and
ran 15 yards for a TD that put KC

Rangers preparing to face Giants in World Series
By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Cliff
Lee threw a bullpen session and
took batting practice Sunday.
The Texas Rangers are getting
ready for their first World Series,
and the opener will be at San
Francisco, where their ace left-han-
der will be pitching after an extend-
ed break and also taking swings in
the National League park, where the
designated hitter isn’t used.
Since the AL championship series
didn’t stretch to a Game 7, Lee will
be starting on eight days’ rest after
striking out 13 Yankees and improv-
ing his postseason record to 7-0
with a 1.26 ERA in eight starts. The
bullpen session was his second
since that eight-inning outing.
“Make the adjustment and push it
back a couple of days,” Lee said.
“It’s not that
big of a
deal.”
Lee starts
a World
Series open-
er for the
second year
in a row after winning Games 1 and
5 last year for Philadelphia against
the Yankees.
“With Cliff Lee, I have no con-
cerns about anything,” Rangers
manager Ron Washington said.
“He’s not going to use nine days or
10 days for any reason why things
may not go right, because in his
mind it will always go right. And
that’s why he is what he is.”
Last year, Lee had nine days off
between his NL championship
series start against the Los Angeles
Dodgers and the series opener. He
responded with a six-hitter, striking
out 10 and walking none while
allowing only an unearned run.
With the first two games in the
NL city for the first time since 2001,
usual DH Vladimir Guerrero likely
will start only one of those games in
the outfield.
“You can best believe we’ll figure
out a way to get Vlad in there,”
Washington said. “In the starting
lineup some kind of way.”
Guerrero will be making his first
Series appearance in 15 major
league seasons. Asked whether he
would be in right field for both
those games, the manager said no.
Washington said he hasn’t decided
which game Guerrero will start.
Washington wouldn’t say which
order he would start Colby Lewis
and C.J. Wilson in Games 2 and 3.
Also undetermined is whether
Tommy Hunter, 0-1 with a 6.14
ERA in two playoff appearances,
will start Game 4 or be replaced in
the rotation by Derek Holland.
The pitchers took BP during the
team’s two-hour workout Sunday at
Rangers Ballpark, where there were
no remnants remaining on the field
from the confetti and ginger ale bot-
tles that were part of the celebration
Friday night.
Lee is excited about the opportu-
nity to hit.
“Obviously that’s the hardest
thing in all sports, to hit a round ball
with a round bat. ... It’s the funnest
part of the game as far as I’m con-
cerned,” Lee said. “When you think
of baseball, that’s what you think of,
trying to get a hit. Don’t get me
wrong, I enjoy pitching, but as far as
the straight challenge of it, hitting is
the hardest thing and the most chal-
lenging. I enjoy that kind of stuff.”
A .132 hitter in his 68 regular-sea-
son at-bats in a career spent mostly
in the American League, Lee was 1
for 3 in last year’s World Series. He
hit .273 (3 for 11) the postseason for
the Phillies.
More important for the Rangers,
Lee has been an October ace on the
mound winning all three of his
starts during the playoffs. He’s
struck out 67 and walked seven over
64 1-3 career postseason innings.
“I’m anxious to get it started,”
Lee said. “I don’t feel any pressure.
We’re fortunate to be in this spot —
we’re one of two teams left playing.
We should just go out there and
have fun and play the game the way
we can, and things are going to
work out.”
NOTES: The Rangers fly to San
Francisco on Monday, but won’t
work out there until Tuesday. ...

clinching Game 6 win over the

Bochy endured his share of play-
off failure in the past. He had expe-
rienced little success this time of
year until now, in his fourth season
with San Francisco. Bochy lost 10
of his previous 11 postseason games
while managing the Padres before
this remarkable 2010 run by club he
has referred to as “characters,”
“castoffs” and “misfits.”
For all those amused by the for-
mer catcher’s slow shuffle to the
mound or penchant for using veter-
ans, there’s no question how much
the 55-year-old Bochy cares about
his players. Players appreciate
knowing when they will be in the
lineup or why they aren’t out there
— and Bochy is known for commu-
nicating such things and having the
tough conversations when neces-
sary.
Take the decision to leave strug-
gling $126 million starting pitcher
Barry Zito off the roster for the first
two rounds. Not an easy call. Or the
midseason benching of under-
achieving outfielder Aaron Rowand,
who behind Zito is the team’s sec-
ond-highest paid player.
“You set aside your own agenda
and do what’s best for the team,”
Bochy said. “That’s what it has to
be at this point. Hopefully we have
one priority, and that’s to win.
These guys have done a great job
with it. A lot of guys who have been
out there every day, their role has
changed. They’ve done a great job
of being a good teammate and
accepting that and doing whatever
they can to help out. It’s not easy.
They all want to be a part of it but
there are only nine places out there.”
Bochy was swept in the 1998
World Series while with San Diego
and eliminated in the minimum
three games in the 2005 division
series by St. Louis, then lost in four
games to the Cardinals in the first
round the very next year. That ’98
team was Bochy’s lone pennant in
12 seasons as Padres skipper.
He got a fresh start in Northern
California with the Giants in 2007,
replacing Felipe Alou. Bochy’s first
Giants team went 71-91 and the one
after that finished with just one
more victory at 72-90. It was the
2009 squad that stayed in the wild
card race until mid-September and
showed this team was getting close
to becoming a serious contender
again — for the first time since
home run king Barry Bonds carried
the club.
When things go poorly along the
way, Bochy doesn’t even like to go
out in public, afraid of giving off the
impression he’s satisfied and not
focused on making things better.
Rowand, replaced in the starting
lineup during the summer by long-
time minor leaguer Andres Torres,
acknowledges Bochy’s hand in how
far the club has come.
Rowand started Games 3 and 4 of
the NLCS for the slumping Torres,
yet Rowand was replaced one batter
after making a fabulous throw home
to save a run in Game 4.
“We’re winning, so obviously
he’s doing a good job, you know?”
Rowand said. “I have a tough time
rating managerial moves, but what
he’s done has worked out and we’ve
been winning ballgames. So, obvi-
ously, if you want to measure it by
that, he’s doing a great job.”
Bochy was the NL Manager of
the Year in 1996, his second season
in San Diego when the Padres were
91-71 with a 21-win improvement
from his first campaign.
It has taken patience to get things
back on track in San Francisco,
where Bochy took over in 2007 in
time to see Bonds’ record-breaking
season. Managing the slugger’s ego
and frenzied chase toward passing
Hank Aaron and becoming home
run king on Aug. 7 that year was
quite a task in itself — along with
watching out for the other 24 guys
in the clubhouse who received little
attention during the whole specta-
cle.
Bochy has developed a reputation
for favoring veterans over unproven
youth along the way. Still, the
Giants didn’t wait too awfully long
to make rookie Buster Posey their
top catcher after he spent a short
stint at first base until Bengie
Molina was traded to Texas. That
Molina connection adds another
interesting element to the Series.
Bochy developed different line-
ups as his personnel constantly
changed this year.
“I don’t know if I’m managing
really any different than what I was
doing earlier,” Bochy said. “It’s not
so much ruffling feathers, it’s doing
what’s right and putting the guys
out there that you think are going to
help you win that game.
“Now, a player’s performance
does dictate playing time. When
you have a guy like Torres, for
example, who goes out there and
plays the type of ball that he’s been
playing, he’s going to be out there.
It’s nothing against the other play-
ers. When a player does that, it’s
just doing what’s right.”
While general manager Brian
Sabean gets credit for bringing in all
the new faces — Pat Burrell, Cody
Ross, calling up Posey and boosting
the bullpen with relievers Javier
Lopez and Ramon Ramirez — it’s
Bochy who had to work everybody
in and strive for a balance.
That doesn’t always make you
very popular.
“Boch has done a great job. It’s
never talked about,” Sabean said.
“For everything that he supposedly
isn’t — we know he’s not outgoing
and we know he’s not a fire and
brimstone guy — you talk to the
players and they have needed him
this year maybe more than any other
year. Whether it’s telling them when
they’re going to play or not going to
play or when things change, he’s
upfront with them. That’s all they
can ask for — consistency and
being honest. He’s not in it for him-
self. He’s not in it to further his
career.”
And Bochy is first to credit the
unselfishness of his players and
their dedication to the one goal of
winning through all the moving
parts of 2010. He has said he won’t
truly allow himself to relish this
postseason until it’s done and he’s
home relaxing in San Diego.
For now, there’s too much other
stuff to do to stay prepared and
ready.
“When you put together a club,
hopefully you have guys who are
unified. You have that chemistry,”
Bochy said. “And that’s not some-
thing that just happens. You have to
work at it. These guys do.”

night, Cain Velasquez’s life was strictly about

ly plays tight games with a chance to win until
the final buzzer.
Smart replaces a man in Nelson who earned
a record 1,335 victories in 31 seasons.
“Don Nelson told me, ‘I got you in position
where I think you should be — the head coach
of the Golden State Warriors,’” Smart said.
The Warriors were second in the NBA at
108.8 points per game, but allowed opponents
an average of 112.4. Ellis averaged a career-
best 25.5 points and 5.3 assists to lead the
way.
Smart will move from Nelson’s guard-ori-
ented “small ball” style in favor of more bal-
ance and better rebounding and defense.
Biedrins and Lee will be a big part of that
effort.
After seven years as an assistant — the
longest tenured assistant in franchise history
— the 46-year-old Smart gets to take that first
seat on the bench.
“I’ve had the chance to work with a tremen-
dous offensive coach the last four years,”
Smart said. “We will play a more traditional
style, with bigger players in different spots.
We have two talented guards who can play at
a faster pace and we don’t want to take away
their creativity. It starts with how we can
rebound the basketball. We’re not going to
win if we don’t rebound. David Lee is a
rebounder. A healthy Biedrins is back and
he’s a proven NBA rebounder.”

family and fighting. He knows it’s going to get
a bit more complicated after he demolished
the most famous man in mixed martial arts.
Velasquez won more than a gaudy belt with his
stunning first-round stoppage of Brock Lesnar at
UFC 121. The San Jose-based fighter has been
among the sport’s top prospects for several years,
and he realized his potential in a frighteningly
lopsided victory that ended with the hulking
Lesnar defenseless against his power.
Biedrins, the 7-foot center from Latvia,
insists he is back and 100 percent healthy
after a tough year of physical challenges. He
was sidelined for the final 23 games last sea-
son following March 10 surgery to repair a
small tear of an abdominal muscle and played
only 33 contests in all because of groin prob-
lems.
Biedrins averaged just 5.0 points and 7.8
rebounds, his lowest totals since becoming a
regular player during the 2006-07 season. He
never had a chance to get in rhythm.
“It’s a whole new chapter and we have good
directions to where we are going. It’s a great
beginning,” Biedrins said, referring to both
himself and the team. “All the coaches, every-
body, is excited about the new direction.
We’re ready to go.”
While the Warriors are counting on
Biedrins returning to his former top form —
posting regular double-doubles — he will
have Lee to complement him in what should
be a much-improved frontcourt.
General manager Larry Riley acquired Lee
in a July trade with the New York Knicks, giv-
ing Golden State a proven scorer who was a
fan favorite at Madison Square Garden.
Lee averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds
last season and has developed a reliable out-
side shot in recent years. Lee spent five years
in New York, where he was respected for
playing hard on losing teams.
“My focus since Day 1 has been to get a
good rapport with the guys and to be a leader
and to lead by example and to help that trans-
late into more victories,” Lee said. “We have
a chance to do that.”

‘Paranormal 2’tops movies

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Fear has taken hold at

the box office with a $41.5 million debut for
scary movie “Paranormal Activity 2,” accord-
ing to studio estimates Sunday.
Paramount Pictures’ follow-up to last year’s

micro-budgeted hit “Paranormal Activity” got
a jump on Halloween as fans packed theaters
for another documentary-style thriller about a
household plagued by a menacing spirit.
“Paranormal Activity 2” did nearly half its
business on Friday, following the pattern of
many fright-flick franchises, which often
draw big crowds on opening day then drop off
sharply. The movie took in $20.1 million
Friday, with receipts falling to $13 million
Saturday and $8.4 million Sunday.
The first “Paranormal Activity” rolled out
gradually from city to city in a stealth-market-
ing campaign that built the buzz for the inde-
pendently produced thriller that was shot for
less than $15,000.
By the time the movie went into nationwide
release, it had turned into a horror sensation
that went on to become a $100 million hit.
The first movie came out of nowhere, and
follow-up films to similar surprise smashes
sometimes fall flat, such as “The Blair Witch
Project” sequel. In its publicity campaign,
Paramount tried to maintain an air of mystery
around “Paranormal Activity 2.”
“The challenge was to not make the mistake
of some other movies of the past, and to treat
it as its own very special entity. Even though
we went wide with it, we tried to treat it a lot
like the first one was treated from a publicity
and marketing standpoint,” said Don Harris,
the studio’s executive vice president for distri-
bution.
Paramount also had the No. 2 movie with
the stunt comedy “Jackass 3D,” which opened
in first place the previous weekend. “Jackass
3D” pulled in $21.6 million, down sharply
from its $50 million opening.
But the movie raised its 10-day total to
$87.1 million, more than either of the earlier
two “Jackass” movies took in during their
entire runs.
Summit Entertainment’s action comedy
“Red” held up well from its No. 2 debut a
weekend earlier, slipping to third with $15
million and lifting its 10-day total to $43.5
million.
After opening Clint Eastwood and Matt
Damon’s “Hereafter” in limited release a
week earlier, Warner Bros. expanded the
supernatural drama nationwide, and the film
came in at No. 4 with $12 million.
“Paranormal Activity 2”earned more than $40 million at the box office over the weekend.

That slightly exceeded the studio’s expecta-
tions, yet like most Eastwood dramas, it was a
modest start. His films play to older adults
who do not rush out on opening weekend in
the same numbers as young crowds.
“Clint’s movies these days are more of a
marathon than they are a sprint, so we’ll see
how it plays out,” said Dan Fellman, head of
distribution at Warner. “I always tell Clint,
‘Let’s not talk about the first weekend. Let’s
talk about the third.”’
“Hereafter” played well in bigger cities but
delivered softer business in some parts of the
South and Midwest. That could be a sign that
Bible Belt areas were not as interested in
“Hereafter,” which deals with the afterlife in
secular fashion without bringing God or reli-
gion into the picture.
The big opening for “Paranormal Activity
2” sets up a rematch of last Halloween season,
when the first “Paranormal Activity” dismem-
bered an established horror franchise and
“Saw VI” debuted weakly with the worst
opening weekend in the series’ history.
Lionsgate went back to the drawing board
for the seventh “Saw” movie, opening this
Friday. “Saw 3D” brings back Cary Elwes
from the franchise’s first movie and mixes
other cast members from throughout the
series, while trying to capitalize on fan
appetite for flicks shot in 3-D.
“This is a bigger, more powerful ‘Saw,’ so
to speak,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office
analyst for Hollywood.com. “It kind of
primes up audiences for a major Halloween
smackdown battle of the horror films, but I
think ‘Saw 3D’ is going to be a much more
formidable opponent.”
H
ooters in San Mateo? In the words
of Sarah Palin, who’s seen her
share, you betcha! I’m talking
about owls, of course. If you’re out walking
at night, you may have heard them. Our
wildlife experts at PHS/SPCA say that if the
hooting sounds like the classic owl sound, it’s
most likely a great-horned owl. I asked
because several owl types thrive on the
Peninsula, including barn owls, burrowing
owls, screech owls and saw-whet owls. All,
at some point, have arrived injured or sick
and received rehabilitative care in our facility.
Once fully recovered, they’re released strate-
gically at night, when they are accustomed to
hunting. Burrowing owls don’t hoot at all but
coo or chirp, depending on whether they are
mating (which would, of course, be the
“coo”) or sounding an alarm, and they move
into homes vacated by ground squirrels; the
squirrels, in fact, do all the excavating, so
“burrowing” is a misnomer. Besides ground
squirrels, parts of our county are also team-
ing with western gray and eastern gray squir-
rels which, interestingly, come in gray, brown
and black. The eastern gray was an intro-
duced species. Local snakes include garter
snakes, gopher snakes, rattlesnakes and
kingsnakes, with the first two being the most
common, and easy to distinguish. Garters are
dark-colored with yellow stripes running the
length of their bodies, while gopher snakes
have a pattern similar to rattlesnakes.
Kingsnakes have bright reddish bands.
Rounding out the wildlife picture, the deer
you spot along Interstate 280 and other areas
are most likely black-tailed deer. So, we have
burrowing owls that don’t burrow, gray squir-
rels that might be black or brown, eastern
squirrels living out west, gopher snakes that
resemble rattlers and black-tailed deer with
black and white tails. Oh dear! If any are
becoming a nuisance on your property,
remember this: don’t get rid of the wildlife.
Get rid of or alter the inadvertent food, water
or shelter source attracting them.

Williams returns to the spotlight with induction

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Don
Williams isn’t doing interviews now that
he’s come out of retirement, but that’s no
problem.
His return has his fans in the business
doing plenty of talking about the laid-
back icon who has launched a tour and is
being inducted into the Country Music
Hall of Fame on Sunday.
Williams will miss the ceremony with
a case of bronchitis, his manager Robert
Pratt said. But Williams’ influence will
be celebrated and can still be heard on
the radio today in singers like Joe
Nichols and Josh Turner. And Keith
Urban recently name-checked Williams,
saying the voice of “The Gentle Giant”
reached across the globe to him in
Australia and drew him to country music.
“He’s the epitome of what we want to
be,” said Rory Feek, of Joey and Rory,
who have been opening up for Williams
on his tour. “He walks out with a cup of
coffee and sits on a barstool and sings
songs and just visits with the audience.
And we love that for 30 years he can just
be himself and not have to change any-
thing, and it endears people so much.”

Merwin said in an internal memo that
Mills-Peninsula, the Sutter Health affili-
ate that operates the Peninsula Medical
Center in Burlingame and the Mills
Health Center in San Mateo, needs to
make the changes because it is losing
reimbursement cash from Medicare. It
will lose even more next year with the
passage of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, signed into law
earlier this year by President Barack
Obama, the memo said.
“... Medicare is already reducing the
amount of money it pays doctors and
hospitals, and commercial insurers fol-
low suit. The largest source of funding
for health care reform is coming from
reduced Medicare reimbursement to
hospitals,” Merwin said in the memo.
Mills-Peninsula nurse Genel Morgan
hopes the company is not using health
care reform as an excuse for selling off
the units especially when it has spent
millions company-wide to update its
data systems.
Morgan, a nurse for almost 40 years, is
concerned that care will drop dramati-
cally for patients at the skilled-nursing
FIRE
Continued from page 1
San Carlos councilmembers Andy Klein
and Omar Ahmad, both who sit on the
JPA fire board, think Grocott’s opposi-
tion is in part fueled by what he helped
create.
“Matt has an inability to see past five
years ago,” Klein said.
Grocott said whether or not that’s true,
the council and public would be well
served to remember the history leading
up to the 2005 near-dismantling and the
last-minute restructuring. The resulting
department is exemplary, as noted by
consultants hired to explore fire out-
sourcing, and shouldn’t just be thrown
away over a fire formula, Grocott said.
Can it be saved?
On Monday, Grocott wanted to sug-
gest the council check in with Belmont
to see if there was any chance to forfeit
the previously sent letter of dissolution.
Although others on the council say there
is no turning back, Grocott said he’s not
so sure that something can’t be saved.
Some believe the decision to begin the
18-month dissolution process is motivat-
ed more by bad blood with Belmont than
a sincere belief the city can do better.
San Carlos didn’t ask Belmont for a
police services proposal and was awful-
ly quick to talk fire outsourcing, Grocott
said.
“If the bad blood doesn’t exist, then
let’s engage. Stand by your words and
let’s engage Belmont,” Grocott said he’d
tell his fellow councilmembers.
At Monday’s meeting, resident Brian
Randall referred to the checkered histo-
ry as a Hatfield and McCoy situation.
Klein disagrees.
“That is a red herring and a blatant
lie,” Klein said. “They have nothing bet-
ter to come with us at.”
Ahmad concedes not being complete-
ly versed on the history but that, he said,
“I really don’t care.”
The issue is the present and future, not
the past, he said.
“I’ve got to believe the councils before
me did the best they could with the
information they had,” Ahmad said.
Now, Ahmad and Klein contend they
are doing what they think is best.
LOCAL/CALENDAR
and dialysis units if they are sold.
“When they closed the acute rehab
center, it was a huge loss for the com-
munity,” Morgan said. “Now, nurses will
be in another upheaval.”
Having nurses in upheaval does not
translate well for patient care, Morgan
said.
“Our first goal is to keep the units
where they are on site, just owned and
managed by someone else,” said Mills-
Peninsula spokeswoman Margie
O’Clair. “The whole industry is going
through this. Hospitals are doing this
everywhere.”
Whoever buys the dialysis or skilled-
nursing units will be able to provide a
similar level of service more cost-effec-
tively, O’Clair said.
However, Morgan said nurses will no
longer be a part of the bargaining unit at
Mills-Peninsula if the units are sold,
though they could be hired by the new
company. Senior nurses could also bid
on other jobs within the Mills-Peninsula
system, possibly bumping nurses with
less experience from their jobs.
The two skilled-nursing facilities, in
Burlingame and San Mateo, are short-
term nursing homes for about 80 patients
at a time that help bridge the gap
between hospital stays and home.
Mills-Peninsula expects to serve more
patients as a result of the Patient
Partnering or outsourcing fire service
might not just save money but also cre-
ate new efficiencies, they say.
But Gary Jacobs of the Firefighters
Local 2400 said the rank and file of the
roughly 48-person department thinks the
council gave notice too quickly and
should be prepared for the next year
when demoralized employees begin
sending out resumes, taking new jobs
and possibly browning out stations when
the winnowed department is over-
worked.
Although proponents are selling out-
sourcing as a financial boon, Jacobs is in
the camp of those who see the JPA
breakup as a personality conflict.
“No matter how you look at it, this is
a squabble nobody can seem to resolve.
Fire is the bridge they throw rocks
across at each other,” Jacobs said.
For the level of service the city gets,
they pay close to the bottom of any
agency in the county, he contends.
What service the city wants going for-
ward is a big part of the discussion.
Consultants last Monday told the city
most calls are medical and it may be bet-
ter off reprioritizing staff and equipment
to focus on that rather than fire.
Jacobs wonders how the city will get
the savings it wants without regionaliza-
tion and, like Grocott, believes Belmont
and San Carlos are stronger together to
pull in partners than standing alone.
Again, Klein disagrees.
“Becoming a free agent makes us
much more nimble to move,” he said.
Silver lining?
Despite the unknowns, Klein and
Ahmad see the dismantling of the JPA
and outsourcing as a silver lining to the
city’s decade-long structural deficit. Had
Measure U, a half-cent sales tax meas-
ure, passed, the city wouldn’t be looking
at this option and would miss out on the
opportunity to re-evaluate and improve
its service, both said.
If firefighters question the city’s tac-
tics, too, Klein and Ahmad say they need
to remember it was Grocott who
opposed the measure.
“If they think that, their memories are
a little short. We busted our chops trying
to pass Measure U side by side with the
firefighters and let’s be clear about who
was on other side,” Ahmad said.
Regardless, the reality is pink slips
come October 2012 when the JPA is dis-
Protection and Affordable Care Act,
with 65,000 additional San Mateo
County residents expected to gain insur-
ance, Merwin said in the memo.
“Hospitals throughout Northern
California and the country are exiting
renal services and skilled nursing. It has
been demonstrated that other communi-
ty providers who focus exclusively on
these specialized services can offer high
quality care more cost effectively,”
Merwin said in the memo.
But Morgan said whoever buys the
dialysis and skilled nursing units will
likely not pay near what the nurses cur-
rently make.
Mills-Peninsula’s goal is to keep the
dialysis and skilled nursing units at their
current locations and sell the business,
including management, to an outside
company, Merwin said in the memo.
“Clinical and service quality will be a
major criterion for any companies we
engage in the discussion, and we will
keep you informed along the way,”
Merwin said in the memo. “Of course,
we will stay true to the Mills-Peninsula
commitment of fully supporting
employees through any changes that
result from these decisions.”

solved. The question is what will happen
to those in the department.
The cities have assumed each will be
assigned roughly half the jobs when the
department ends, said San Carlos
Assistant City Manager Brian Moura
who has been overseeing the process for
the city.
While the city will not require bidders
guarantee jobs, retention will be a large
factor in proposals much as it was when
the Sheriff’s Office agreed to absorb the
entire police department, Moura said.
A state agency like Cal Fire may be
better suited to maintaining the San
Carlos firefighters and clerical staff than
a local city like Redwood City or San
Mateo. Nothing will really be known
until early December when proposals
are due, Moura said.
Until then, Jacobs said one firefighter
has already given notice and starts a new
job at the end of the month. Roughly
half are job hunting, he said.
The worst-case scenario includes fire-
fighters on shifts five days in a row,
burning out and forcing station closures,
Jacobs said.
“I’m not trying to be doomsday, but it
could easily get to that point,” he said.
‘They are not alone’
Klein sympathizes with the firefight-
ers’ anxiety but said in all fairness it isn’t
that much different than the job fears
gripping others in the city. The goal is to
protect them if they can but they are not
alone, he said.
Their fate isn’t completely up to San
Carlos; the city of Belmont must also
determine what it will do for fire service
and who it will employ.
“Their fire district is well funded and
I’m certain whatever Belmont decides,
those positions will be cared for,”
Ahmad said.
Meanwhile, Grocott still holds out
hope the council can switch gears with
the urging of residents and again points
to the recent evaluation of the depart-
ment’s service.
“That report says we have an exempla-
ry department [and] that should say
something,” he said. “What it should say
is proceed with caution.”

Monday, Oct. 25, 2010
There are strong indications that some good changes con-
cerning your social life will likely develop for you in the near
future. Fresh interests that you develop will bring you in con-
tact with lots of new people who have a lust for life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Check to see if something
you’re planning for the future can be reorganized in a manner
that would actually suit your present needs. If it would work
later, why not try it now?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - If you find yourself once
again involved with someone who previously treated you
shabbily, be on guard. Generally, people are creatures of habit
and you could end up being a “patsy” once again.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - There might be good rea-
son for your expectations to be a bit higher than usual when
there is little indication of anything new happening. Your
senses might be telling you otherwise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Look for activities that offer
both financial and career opportunities. It might be one of
those days when you could do better than usual in each of
these areas.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - If you let them, challenges can
arouse your stronger, more positive qualities, while nothing
will come from crumbling like soggy toast. Don’t let anything
intimidate you.
efforts rather than from your own. You’ll get plenty of oppor-
tunities to repay them later.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It isn’t always wise to listen
to what others have to say about your efforts, but someone
might have an excellent critique to offer that could greatly
help you develop your ideas.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - You need to first believe you
can win in order to gamble on something that could affect
your work. Make your choice based on experience and know-
how rather than on mere hope.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - After discovering that your
basic philosophy and politics are also closely akin to those of
someone you know only on a casual basis, you might want to
consider making this person your friend.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Doing something nice for a person
who recently helped you out of a pickle is highly suggested
when the opportunity presents itself. You might not get such a
chance again for some time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Better lines of communication
might open up with someone who could become extremely
important to your present plans. This person might need you
as much as you need him/her.
Previous
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It isn’t too smart to waste your
time on an endeavor that is questionable at best, especially if Sudoku
it doesn’t really produce much of anything. Utilize your hours

Cholera heightens misery in Haiti

By Jacob Kusher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A
cholera outbreak that already has left
250 people dead and more than
3,000 sickened is at the doorstep of
an enormous potential breeding
ground: the squalid camps in Port-
au-Prince where 1.3 million earth-
quake survivors live. Health authori-
ties and aid workers are scrambling
to keep the tragedies from merging
and the deaths from multiplying.
Five cholera patients have been
reported in Haiti’s capital, heighten-
ing worries that the disease could
reach the sprawling tent slums where
abysmal hygiene, poor sanitation,
and widespread poverty could rapid-
ly spread it. But government officials
said Sunday that all five apparently
got cholera outside Port-au-Prince,
and they voiced hope that the deadly
bacterial disease could be confined
to the rural areas where the outbreak
originated last week.
“It’s not difficult to prevent the
spread to Port-au-Prince. We can
prevent it,” said Health Ministry
director Gabriel Timothee. He said
tightly limiting movement of patients
and careful disposal of bodies can
stave off a major medical disaster.
If efforts to keep cholera out of the
camps fail, “The worst case would
be that we have hundreds of thou-
sands of people getting sick at the
same time,” said Claude Surena,
president of the Haiti Medical
Association. Cholera can cause vom-
iting and diarrhea so severe it can kill
from dehydration in hours.
Doctors Without Borders issued a
statement saying that some Port-au-
Prince residents were suffering from
watery diarrhea and were being treat-
REUTERS ed at facilities in the capital city.

at a local hospital in the Marchand Dessaline zone in Haiti. had not been confirmed, however,
and aid workers stressed that diar-
rhea has not been uncommon in
Port-au-Prince since the earthquake.
“Medical teams have treated many
people with watery diarrhea over the
last several months,” Doctors
Without Borders said.
Aid workers in the impoverished
nation say the risk is magnified by
the extreme poverty faced by people
displaced by the Jan. 12 earthquake,
which killed as many as 300,000
people and destroyed much of the
capital city. Haitians living in the
camps risk disease by failing to wash
their hands, or scooping up standing
water and then proceeding to wash
fruits and vegetables.
“There are limited ways you can
wash your hands and keep your
hands washed with water in slums
like we have here,” said Michel
Thieren, an official with the Pan-
American Health Organization in
Haiti.

World briefs
Richard becomes hurricane,
heads for tiny Belize
BELIZE CITY — Hurricane
Richard formed in the Caribbean
and steamed toward an expected
landfall Sunday in the tiny Central
American nation of Belize, where
hundreds of people were evacuated
as it approached.
A hurricane warning was in effect
for Belize and western Honduras,
where Richard dumped heavy rains
on the coast and the Bay Islands,
which are popular with tourists and
divers. Richard was a Category 1
storm with maximum sustained
winds of 85 mph , and its center was
about 55 miles east-southeast of
Belize City, according to the U.S.
National Hurricane Center in
Miami.
Iraqi court orders
parliament back to work
BAGHDAD — Iraq’s highest
court on Sunday ordered parliament
back to work after a virtual seven-
to break the political stalemate that
has held up formation of a new gov-
ernment.
The 325 lawmakers met only once
since they were elected on March 7
for a session that lasted 20 minutes
and consisted of a reading from
Islam’s holy book, the Quran, the
playing of the national anthem and
swearing in new members.
Under the constitution, parliament
was required to meet within 15 days
of final court approval of election
results, which came on June 1.
Lawmakers met on June 14 and
should have chosen a parliament
speaker during their first session and
then the president within 30 days.
Pirates seize 2 ships
off coast of Kenya
BERLIN — Somali pirates seized
a German freight ship off the coast
of Kenya on Sunday — the second
commercial vessel to be captured in
the region in as many days, officials
said. The pirates took control of the
German freight ship Beluga Fortune
about 1,200 miles east of Mombasa,
Kenya.
Israel tells Palestinians talks only option
By Amy Teibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime
minister on Sunday urged the
Palestinians to avoid unilateral
action and resume peace talks, a
reflection of growing concern that
the Palestinian leadership may be
inching toward a “Plan B” in which
they seek international recognition
of an independent state without
Israeli agreement.
Talks have stalled, just weeks
after their launch, following Israel’s
decision to resume full-fledged set-
tlement building in the West Bank
after a 10-month period of restric-
tions. The Palestinians have said
they cannot negotiate with Israel
unless the curbs are renewed, and
one senior Palestinian official on
Sunday insisted on a total halt to
construction.
As the stalemate drags on, the
Palestinians have said they are con-
sidering sidestepping Israel by seek-
ing U.N. Security Council recogni-
tion of a White House on Sept. 2. He said he
