Living on $2 a day
Hillsdale students raise awareness of world poverty
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Seventeen-year-old Marci Abreu woke up in
her sleeping bag in the middle of the great
court on Hillsdale High School’s campus and
wasn’t particularly hungry.
But she ate the eggs purchased by herself
and other students the evening before know-
ing food would be scarce throughout
Thursday. The “shanty town,” as the students
are referring to their camp, is not a permanent
place for students and at least one teacher to
spend their evenings. It’s part of a 48-hour
challenge taken on by the students participat-
ing in the Hillsdale Effect, a group interested
in raising funds for micro-loans and informing
others of international efforts to combat
poverty.
Starting Wednesday after school, students
started setting up camp at the school and liv-
ing on their new budget of $2 a day — the
same budget on which more than 2.2 billion
people worldwide live.
Fifteen students from the group and the
advisor, Greg Lance, are participating to raise
awareness on campus of the poverty world-
wide.
“I hope they see what $2 a day can do here.
It’s a bag of potato chips. [In other countries],
people live on this,” said senior Joel Olazabal.
Olazabal joined the group last year. The son
of immigrants, Olazabal saw his parents work
hard to give him better opportunities in life.
“Even though we’re struggling, we have it
so much better than others,” he said.
Olazabal added that it proves that anyone
can help another person.
Since the club’s inception, Hillsdale stu-
dents have raised funds to help 19 women in
Guatemala start businesses and receive voca-
tional training. Ten students from the club and
Lance traveled to Guatemala with Namaste-
Direct’s president, Kristin Houk, to deliver the
loans in person over the summer and to visit
the women from the first loan cycle.
Abreu was part of the student group that
traveled to Guatemala this summer.
“It was really amazing to see the difference
it has made in their life. You can read about
those things, but it’s not the same as when you
do it,” said Abreu.
Abreu explained how the group had walked
to Safeway to get groceries. Students pooled
their money to purchase rice, beans, peanuts
and a community tube of toothpaste.
Food was an interesting lesson for the stu-
dents.
“I don’t think I ever realized how much I

eat,” said 17-year-old Mariko Kuga who
added she normally spends about $2 per break
on food.
Junior Ali Ryan was hyper aware of what
others brought to school today, like coffee
from Starbucks.
Temptations are also around. Other students
continue to offer food to those participating in
the $2 challenge.
“It’s not like people in another country have
a friend who can just grab them a McDonald’s
cheeseburger,” Kuga said.
Someone asked Olazabal if they could bor-
row a dollar. That dollar meant more on
Thursday.
“That’s half my money,” he said.
Studying and sleeping was also a challenge.
Students collected cardboard and created a
circular area in which they set up camp, said
16-year-old Shalini Kannan.
The stars were out, but studying came by
huddling under a small light in the court, said
Kannan.
Senior Zoltan Chien-Szegedy explained
how difficult it was to sleep on the concrete,
making for not a good night’s sleep and an
early morning.
Although this week’s challenge does not
include a fundraising aspect, it should serve to
educate the students before an annual penny

County counsel retiring
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo County Counsel Mike
Murphy will retire next March, ending
nearly three decades defending the
county and advising its leaders on legal
matters.
But while his career with the county
is coming to a close, the 61-year-old
Murphy is excited about what may
come next.
“My wife keeps asking, ‘what are
you going to do with yourself?,’”
laughed Murphy.
That answer isn’t quite set but
Murphy said it will involve relaxing,
traveling to Europe and exotic locales
and maybe even teaching law or histo-
ry. He also is thinking of staying active
in the community or on commissions.
Murphy told the Board of
Supervisors his decision during a
closed session of Tuesday’s meeting.
His retirement becomes effective in
the middle of next March. There’s
nothing magical about that date, he
said, but it lets him stick around for the
Board of Supervisors’ transition with

When former county counsel Tom

Murphy heaped praise on his two

Strong charges for fire ‘vermin’
Four allegedly tried to profit from San Bruno explosion
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Four people who authorities say tried
to play the victim card following the
deadly San Bruno fire may be finding
themselves needing a get-out-of-jail
pass instead.
Two San Bruno residents who do not
live in the neighborhood decimated by
the Sept. 9 explosion and fire are
charged with several felonies after pros-
ecutors say they fraudulently tried to
secure aid like money and goods for fire
victims. Two others were similarly
arrested but are free on $25,000 bail and
not yet formally charged.
All four, though, are accused of trying
to profit from the disaster and Chief
Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said his office will not be
lenient if the charges hold true.
“There are no plea bargains for ver-
min,” Wagstaffe said.
Sonya Smith, 44, and Lisa Justin, 42,
both of San Bruno where charged with
felony counts of commercial burglary,
perjury, identity theft, welfare fraud and
filing false documents.
Prosecutors successfully had their
$25,000 bail increased to $100,000.
Each pleaded not guilty.

Census: One in seven live in poverty
By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The ranks of the work-
ing-age poor climbed to the highest level since
the 1960s as the recession threw millions of
people out of work last year, leaving one in
seven Americans in poverty.
The overall poverty rate climbed to 14.3
percent, or 43.6 million people, the Census
Bureau said Thursday in its annual report on
the economic well-being of U.S. households.
The report covers 2009, President Barack
Obama’s first year in office.
The poverty rate increased from 13.2 per-
cent, or 39.8 million people, in 2008.
The share of Americans without health cov-
erage rose from 15.4 percent to 16.7 percent
— or 50.7 million people — mostly because
of the loss of employer-provided health insur-
ance during the recession. Congress passed a
health overhaul this year to address the rising
numbers of uninsured people, but its main
provisions will not take effect until 2014.
Gunman kills himself, mother at Johns Hopkins
By Alex Dominquez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — A man who became dis-
traught as he was being briefed on his mother’s
condition by a surgeon at Johns Hopkins
Hospital pulled a gun and shot and wounded
the doctor Thursday, then killed his mother and
himself in her room at the world-famous med-
ical center, police said.
The gunman, 50-year-old Paul Warren
Pardus, had been listening to the surgeon

“Because of the Recovery Act and many other programs
providing tax relief and income support to a majority of
working families — and especially those most in need —
millions of Americans were kept out of poverty last year.”
In a statement, President Barack Obama
called 2009 a tough year for working families
but said it could have been worse.
“Because of the Recovery Act and many
other programs providing tax relief and
income support to a majority of working fam-
ilies — and especially those most in need —
millions of Americans were kept out of pover-
ty last year,” Obama said.
The new figures come at a politically sensi-
tive time, just weeks before the Nov. 2 con-
gressional elections, when voters restive about
high unemployment and the slow pace of eco-
nomic improvement will decide whether to
keep Democrats in power in the House and
around midday when he “became emotionally
distraught and reacted ... and was overwhelmed
by the news of his mother’s condition,” Police
Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said.
Pardus pulled a semiautomatic gun from his
waistband and shot the doctor once in the
abdomen, the commissioner said. The doctor is
expected to survive.
Pardus then holed up in the room in a more
than two-hour standoff. When officers made
their way in, they found Pardus and his mother,
84-year-old Jean Davis, shot to death, he on the

The 14.3 percent poverty rate, which covers
all ages, was the highest since 1994. It was
lower than predicted by many demographers
who were bracing for a record gain based on
last year’s skyrocketing unemployment. Many
had expected a range of 14.7 percent to 15
percent.
Broken down by state, Mississippi had the
highest share of poor people, at 23.1 percent,

Bureau. It was followed by Arizona, New

“I guess he just couldn’t bear to see her the

Alvin Gibson of Remington, Va. He said their
mother suffered from arthritis and rheumatism
and had surgery last week, but it didn’t help
her.
“I guess because he thought my mom was
suffering because the surgery wasn’t successful
and she probably wouldn’t be able to walk
again,” he said about a possible reason for
Pardus’ actions. “She was a dear, sweet lady.”

campaign discussing green jobs,
sea level rise, more emphasis on
the coast, finding a way to give

With the condition of the economy

it is time to get rid of some, if not
most, of these older politicians. Has
anyone even heard of any of these

these older politicians forget that
they represent all of the people, not
only the big money corporations.
Has any one heard any politicians
admit they have failed and not done

In my opinion, Jerry Brown has
lived off the California taxpayers
long enough, and has failed in every
office he has held over the years.

Stocks end mixed
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks struggled to a
mixed finish Thursday as a two-week
rally lost momentum. News of a
retrenchment by FedEx Corp. also dis-
couraged buyers.
Stocks have been rising for most of
September, but on unusually weak vol-
ume as skepticism lingers about the
economy. FedEx, an economic bell-
wether, darkened the mood with an
announcement that it would eliminate
1,700 jobs in an effort to save its money-

mated selling programs could kick in
and send prices lower.

touched since June. Market analysts

Broader indexes were mixed. The

Ford Super Duty truck has some ‘pull’

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Get ready to retrieve your jaw from the

floor. The 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty
pickup trucks generate a jaw-dropping 735
foot-pounds of torque — enough to tow more
than 20,000 pounds of trailers, heavy-duty
equipment and the biggest, most impressive
fifth-wheel campers around.
This is 85 more foot-pounds than the previ-
ous Power Stroke diesel in Ford’s brawniest
F-Series trucks.
The revamped-for-2011 heavy-duty Ford
pickups also are more refined and have more
electronics to tailor them to personal tastes
than does any competitor. Even Internet con-
nectivity and computer workstation capabili-
ty, complete with printer, are available in the
Super Duty trucks.
Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for a base,
2011 F-250 Super Duty Regular Cab model is
$28,995 with 385-horsepower, gasoline V-8,

An F-250 Super Cab model starts at

discussed, 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. What attributes or experiences make
you a better choice for the supervisor posi-
tion than your opponent?
Horsley: I’ve helped expand health care for
women and children, improve schools and
advanced women in law enforcement careers.
I’ve balanced budgets totaling millions of dol-
lars, making tough decisions to do it. As a for-
mer teacher, police officer, sheriff for nearly 14
years and president of the Sequoia Healthcare
District, I have the hands-on-experience and
track record to make a difference.
Vargas: I am a new voice for San Mateo
County. I have no obligation to special inter-
ests. As a small business owner, I know what it
is to live within a budget. I am endorsed by the
Democratic Party and the Sierra Club because
of my record of accomplishment.
2. Should a sales tax measure be consid-
ered in the future? What are your budget
solutions?
Horsley: The county provides health servic-
es to one in seven residents, funds the criminal
justice system, runs the park system and man-
ages a number of state-mandated programs.
My solution is to reduce the layers of manage-
ment and supervision, work with employee
groups to find creative solutions to delivering
the services that are critical such as public
safety and continue to follow a prudent course
of using reserves so the safety net isn’t abrupt-
ly ended. I would consider placing a sales tax
measure on the ballot in the future and letting
the voters decide.
Don Horsley
Age:66
City of residence:

Education:California

Occupation:Retired
county sheriff;
president,Sequoia
Healthcare District
Vargas: Of the four actions proposed by the
supervisors to solve the structural budget
deficit — increasing taxes, union concessions,
use all of capital reserves, layoffs of county
employees — taxes should be the last consid-
eration. When all other options are exhausted,
then we should go to the voters.
3. If elected, what is the first action or
plan you wish to implement aside from
those related to the budget?
Horsley: I will lead efforts to stimulate our
local economy, fostering green technology and
biotechnology industries. I will meet with the
mayors and councilmembers of our cities and
CEOs of local technology companies. I’ll find
ways that we can work together to improve
infrastructure, zoning, planning and permitting
processes to encourage these companies to
expand employment opportunities.
Vargas: Until we solve the structural budget
deficit by streamlining county services, any
plans for the future will be held hostage.
4. What decision by the current Board of
Supervisors do you most agree or disagree
with?
Horsley: San Mateo County is considered
the best-run county in the state. I was part of
the management team that, together with wise
decisions by the Board of Supervisors, budget-
ed prudently during good times as well as bad

and set aside funds in reserves that have per-
mitted this county to preserve public safety
and health services while others have had to
make draconian cuts. The result is that our
county has the lowest crime rate of urbanized
counties in the state.
Vargas: I agree with the decision not to put
the sales tax on November’s ballot. I strongly
disagree with the supervisors’ decision to
block district elections and their initiative to
appoint supervisors rather than have elections.
We need greater local representation and more
democracy, not less, in our county.
5. How can you balance what is good for
your district with what is good for the over-
all county?
Horsley: I have committed to serve without
pay or benefits, pledged to have weekly office
hours on the coastside and at least one of my
aides will be a coastside resident. My years of
service as a teacher, police officer, sheriff and
on the Sequoia Healthcare District equip me
with a unique understanding of the county and
the various communities that make up San
Mateo County.
Vargas: The district and the county’s inter-
ests are interconnected at every level but for 40
years we haven’t been represented by a super-
visor from the coastside. It is time for that to
change and for the coastside to have a seat at
the table.

Major competitors include the 2011
Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty pickups that
have a retail starting price of $28,960 for a
2500 HD with 380-horsepower, gasoline V-8,
two-wheel drive and 8-foot-long bed. A 397-
horsepower, diesel V-8 adds $7,730 to the base
price of a Silverado 2500 HD.
Meanwhile, the 2011 Chrysler Ram starts at
$31,980 for a 2500 Crew Cab model with 383-
horsepower, gasoline V-8, two-wheel drive
and short bed. Add a 350-horsepower diesel
powerplant, and the price is $7,615 more. The
test Super Duty, an F-250 Crew Cab with
diesel and a long list of options, topped out at
more than $55,000 and was ready to haul peo-
ple and stuff anywhere in high style.
I use “high” because this 6.75-foot-tall truck
was so high up from the pavement, the door
handles were at chest level. I could barely see
the top of the Power Dome hood when I stood
next to this truck. Thank goodness the test
truck had running boards at the side doors to
help everyone get inside. Otherwise, I would
have had to bring a ladder along.
The Power Stroke diesel burbled and rum-
bled at startup with typical diesel sounds. But
they didn’t prepare me for how forcefully the
truck moved forward when I pressed the
accelerator. Knowing this truck weighed more
than 6,000 pounds, I expected a leisurely pace.
But bristling with more than 700 foot-
pounds of torque for the first time, and with all
that power available at a low 1,600 rpm, the
test truck showed it easily could get up and
running, and it wouldn’t be sluggish and slow

the local and ground controllers
observed the airplane roll and turn to the

No radio transmissions about the inci-
dent were received. The plane reached a
maximum altitude of about 650 feet.
Urbina-Suarez’s body was found in
the water shortly after the crash. The two
men remained strapped in the plane and
their bodies were recovered Friday after
the wreckage was removed from the

The plane was removed about 30 hours

“A continuity check of the primary

in scope by the impact damage, did not
reveal evidence of any pre-impact anom-
alies or failures. The airplane, engines
and propellers were transported to a
secure facility for subsequent detailed
examination,” according to the report.

Giants alone
in first place
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Aubrey
Huff hit a three-run homer, Buster
Posey had a solo shot and the San
Francisco Giants moved into first
place in the NL West with a 10-2
win over the Los Angeles Dodgers
on Thursday night.
Jonathan Sanchez (11-8) struck
out a career-high 12 as the Giants
took a half-game lead on the Padres
after San Diego lost 4-0 at St. Louis.
San Francisco is in sole possession
of first place for the first time since
May 6.
Dodgers starter Ted Lilly (8-11)
was done after 3 1-3 innings for his
shortest outing of the season. This
was just his third loss in nine starts
since joining the Dodgers at the
trade deadline.
Russ Mitchell homered for his
first career hit leading off the fifth
for Los Angeles. He had been 0 for
15.
Huff and Posey connected for
back-to-back homers in the third,
the seventh time the Giants have hit
consecutive homers this season.
Jose Guillen added a two-run
drive in the fifth to make it 8-2. It
was his 18th home run of the season
and second with the Giants. Guillen
returned to the starting lineup after
missing Wednesday’s game with a
painful neck. He underwent an MRI
exam Thursday and said everything
was fine.
Freddy Sanchez added a two-run
double in the eighth.
All the offense helped Sanchez
win his third straight decision. The
left-hander, who has been one of the
Giants’ most reliable starters down
the stretch, recorded his seventh
career game with double-digit
strikeouts and fourth of the season.
He allowed four hits and one run in
seven innings and didn’t walk a bat-
ter for the second time in his 30
starts.
Sanchez’s strikeouts were the sec-
ond-most by a Giant this year. Tim
Lincecum struck out 13 at Florida
on May 4.
Lilly was tagged for five runs and
seven hits, and he struck out three
and walked one. He had been so
reliable for Los Angeles every fifth
day that manager Joe Torre said
before the game, “Lilly’s been such
a savior for us in more ways than
one.”
Giants manager Bruce Bochy is
using a leadoff man by committee in
the absence of the injured Andres
Torres, recovering from an emer-
gency appendectomy Sunday.

College football powers hit road for first time
By Ralph Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Road games sort out the contenders from
the pretenders.
Several highly ranked teams play away
from home Saturday for the first time this sea-
son, including No. 1 Alabama, No. 6 Texas,
No. 8 Nebraska, No. 9 Iowa and No. 10
Florida.
If last week was about marquee matchups,
this week is about upsets — or at least the
potential for upsets.
The Tide expects to have Heisman Trophy
winner Mark Ingram back for its trip to Duke.
The Blue Devils (1-1) have been competitive
under second-year coach David Cutcliffe and
quarterback Sean Renfree has thrown for 708
yards in two games this season.
“This is a very dangerous team because of
their ability to throw the ball and score
points,” Tide coach Nick Saban said. “They
scored 48 points last week on a team that has
been ranked in the top 20 most of the last five
years in Wake Forest.”
True, but Wallace Wade Stadium is not
exactly Cameron Indoor. In fact, it wouldn’t
be surprising if about a third of the 34,000 or
so fans in the sellout crowd are rooting for the
Tide. Anything less than a lopsided victory by
’Bama will be a surprise.

onship hopefuls, the road figures to be bumpi-
er this weekend.
Texas visits Texas Tech (2-0) for Tommy
Tuberville’s first Big 12 game as Red Raiders

Cal faces big test versus Nevada
By Scott Sonner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENO, Nev. — California’s stingy defense
collides with Nevada’s high-powered offense
Friday night in a nationally televised matchup
that should help provide a better idea of
whether either team has a shot at winning their
conference.
Both 2-0, the Pac-10’s Golden Bears are
crossing the state line to play the Western
Athletic Conference’s Wolf Pack for the first
time in Reno since Cal won 81-6 in 1915.
The Bears are giving up an NCAA-fewest
161 yards per game and have a balanced, big-
play offense that exploded for victories at home
over UC Davis (52-3) and Colorado (52-7).
But they’re favored by less than a field goal
against a Nevada team that led the nation in
rushing last year and is tops in total offense so
far this season, averaging 592 yards per game
in wins over Eastern Washington (49-24) and
Colorado State (51-6).
“I don’t see how you could take this team for
granted,” said Cal coach Jeff Tedford. “I’m
sure it’s going to be a pretty hostile environ-
ment. You watch the tape and it’s evident that
these guys can get after you,” he said. “They’re
very, very good at what they do — very pre-
cise, very disciplined and have the guys to do
it.”

Teammates Busch,Hamlin downplay feud
By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The first sign of a lingering
discord between Denny Hamlin and Kyle
Busch came after their 1-2 finish at
Richmond, when Busch made sure to point
out how clean he raced his teammate with the
win on the line.
A second verbal volley was lobbed during
an episode of Busch’s ESPN weeklong reality
special, when he made mention of how diffi-
cult it is to have a discussion with Hamlin.
Fans for sure noticed the back-to-back jabs,
and speculation mounted that Joe Gibbs
Racing’s two championship contenders were
at odds. Turns out, it’s much ado about noth-
ing.
“I was just making a point,” Busch said
Wednesday during NASCAR’s annual visit to
New York to promote the upcoming Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship.
“There was an opportunity for me to get in
there and get dirty, knock him out of the way,

signal-caller Colin
Kaepernick and senior run-
ning back Vai Taua. They
are two-thirds of the trio
that last year became the
first in NCAA history to
each surpass 1,000 yards
Jeff Tedford rushing in the same season.
Last week, the 6-foot-6
Kaepernick became only the ninth player to
both run and pass for 3,000 yards in his NCAA
career. So far this year, he has run for four
touchdowns and passed for four — three of
them to tight end Virgil Green.
In the win over Colorado State, Kaepernick
ran for 161 yards and passed for 241 while the
Wolf Pack amassed 631 yards and scored on
every offensive possession.
“You look at their scores from last year,
there’s a 70, there’s a couple of 60s, there’s a
couple 50s on there,” Tedford said. “They can
explode on offense very quickly, so it’s going
to be a major challenge for us to slow those
guys down a little bit.”
He will look to his defense, including line-
backer Mike Momahmed, who led the Pac-10
in tackles a year ago and equaled his career-
best 14 last week against Colorado. He missed
some practice time this week with a sprained
toe but Tedford said he is expected to play at
Nevada.

tum going into the Chase, not another some-
thing to be fighting about.”
The relationship between the two JGR stars
will be critical to manage over the next 10
weeks. The teams rely on each other for infor-
mation and advice during at-track debriefs,
and Busch’s crew gleaned an important tip
from Hamlin’s crew right before Saturday
night’s race at Richmond that contributed to
the 1-2 finish.
Managing and maintaining that information
flow will be the best shot either JGR driver
has at dethroning four-time defending
NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.
But there’s no denying the relationship has
had its swings, most notably earlier this sea-
son after a wreck between the two in the All-
Star race and Busch vented over his radio “I
swear to God, I am going to kill (him).”
It led to an immediate post-race closed-door
meeting with owner Joe Gibbs, and the issue
seemed to be settled. Then Hamlin fanned the
flames a week later in one of the more enter-
On offense, Cal quarterback Kevin Riley has
completed nearly two-thirds of his passes (29
of 44) for 455 yards, seven touchdowns and no
interceptions. He said it’s a big game for both
teams.
“Especially if you look at it from their stand-
point, not a BCS conference, this would be a
gigantic win for them,” Riley said about
Nevada. “And if we win, that’s what we’re sup-
posed to do. We’ve just got to go out there and
play our game.”
Riley’s favorite targets are junior wide
receiver Marvin Jones and true freshman wide-
out Keenan Allen, both with nine receptions
and two touchdowns. Running back Shane
Vereen already has five touchdowns.
“They’re exceptional athletes,” Nevada
coach Chris Ault said. “There’s a variety of
weapons Cal has and can use. You have to pick
your poison.”
“They took Colorado to the woodshed,” he
said. “The most important thing for us is not
giving up the big play — keeping things in
front of you.”
Nevada is 2-0 for the first time since 1995
and Ault said he was pleased with improve-
ment last week in his defense led by senior
defensive end Dontay Moch, the WAC’s 2009
defensive player of the year.

asked this week if he’d spotted any weaknesses
in Cal’s lineup.

“Each year I think Kyle’s going to grow up
and he just doesn’t,” Hamlin said that day.
“Until he puts it all together, that’s when he’ll
become a champion, and right now he just
doesn’t have himself all together.”
Gibbs helicoptered into the track to be pres-
ent for qualifying later that day, and the team-
mates have been fairly quiet off the track
since. During a visit Wednesday to The
Associated Press headquarters, Hamlin said
there’s no issues between the two.
“I think Kyle just has different ways of
expressing the way he feels about things,”
Hamlin said.
“We have personalities that can be difficult
to get through to at times, and a lot of it is just
you are afraid to go up to your teammate or
another driver and talk about (racing issues).
Me and Kyle have never really had that talk,
but I feel like except for the All-Star race, our
on-track relationship has been good. Never
been any altercations, never really raced each
other that hard.”

Seattle ends
Dream’s run
By Charles Odum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The Seattle Storm are cham-
pions again.
Seattle completed its undefeated march
through the postseason, beating the Atlanta
Dream 87-84 on Thursday night for a three-
game sweep in the WNBA finals.
The Storm won each of its seven postseason
games for its second WNBA title. The Storm
also won the 2004 championship.
Swin Cash scored 18 points to lead a bal-
anced offense as Seattle overcame 35 points
by Atlanta’s Angel McCoughtry. Lauren
Jackson, who had 26 points in each of the
Storm’s first two wins in the series, had 15
points and nine rebounds and was selected
MVP of the finals.
McCoughtry, who set a WNBA playoff
record with 42 points in the Dream’s Eastern
Conference finals clinching win over the New
York Liberty, tried to rally Atlanta with nine
points in the final 2:30. But McCoughtry and
Coco Miller missed 3-pointers in the final 6
seconds, setting off a celebration by Seattle’s
players.
McCoughtry’s three-point play with 46 sec-
onds remaining cut Seattle’s lead to 85-80.
Seattle’s Tanisha Wright missed two free
throws and McCoughtry was fouled by Cash
while missing a 3.
McCoughtry made two of three free throws
to cut the lead to three points with 31 seconds
remaining.
Seattle’s Sue Bird dribbled away the shot
clock before missing a shot to set up a basket
by Atlanta’s Iziane Castro Marques with 6.9
seconds left. McCoughtry immediately fouled
Camille Little, who made two free throws to
give Seattle an 87-84 lead.
McCoughtry missed a 3-pointer but the
rebound went to Atlanta before Coco Miller
also missed a last-second 3.
Each of Seattle’s starters scored in double
figures. Bird, who along with Jackson are the
only players remaining from the Storm’s 2004
title team, had 14 points and seven assists.
Little had 15 and Wright had 13.
The Storm became the first team to win the
championship without a postseason loss since
the Los Angeles Sparks went 6-0 in 2002,
when the finals were a best-of-three series.
The sweep wasn’t easy. The Storm won the
first two games in Seattle by a combined mar-
gin of five points and struggled at times
against Atlanta’s relentless defense in the deci-
sive Game 3.
The Dream led 59-53 late in the third quar-
ter before Seattle took control with a 16-1 run,
including the first basket of the fourth.

approached Singletary this offseason to com-
plain about Raye.
Singletary expressed disappointment in the
piece. Yahoo! reporter Jason Cole said
through a pool reporter: “That’s fine. I stand
by what I wrote.”
“I believe in our country, in society, the
saddest thing has happened,” Singletary said.
“One thing that I want to teach our guys is to
be men. If there’s something that you have to
say, go say it, and say that you said it. But
don’t go say a bunch of stuff, ’But don’t tell
him I said it.’ To me, that’s a rat, that’s a cow-
ard, so those things I can’t spend my time on.
“I don’t want to deal with a rat. I don’t want
to spend my time trying to find out who said
this, who did that. The article is not factual,
No. 1. No. 2, I don’t want to spend my time
trying to find a rat. In time, the smell will
come.”
Smith was surprised to read the information
that he said was all new to him.
“I’m not going to lie. I found most of the
article pretty ridiculous,” Smith said. “Stuff
that I had absolutely no idea about. Stuff that
was news to me that players were going to

make this a positive experience for the kids.”
Of course, winning always helps. Before
last year’s breakthrough, the Knights suffered
through a number of tough seasons since their
last run of success in the late 1980s and early
’90s. They went 1-9 in the 2002, ’03, ’06, ’07
and ’08 seasons, 1-8-1 in ’04 and 2-6-1 in ’01.
The ’05 season counted as the Knights’ one
decent spurt during this rough stretch, when
they finished with a respectable 4-6 mark.
That’s why last year’s run to the playoffs
was all the more impressive, because it had
been so long since Hillsdale football had last
tasted success. But an influx of talented ath-
letes along with Parodi’s arrival before last
season has spurred the Knights back to
respectability and then some. Hillsdale’s
revival has coincided with San Mateo’s, a nice
footnote to this story.
San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller was the
SPORTS
coach Singletary this offseason and had these
issues. That’s something I certainly had no
idea about and I meet with Singletary pretty
often. So, no idea. I was completely unaware
of. You can ask the rest of my team, but as far
as I’m concerned completely coming from
nowhere. False.”
Raye isn’t a stranger for taking heat. There
were questions whether he would return for a
second season with the Niners, but Singletary
stood by him. This is first time in eight years
the franchise hasn’t had a new person in the
job.
“I’ve done this a long time. This is my 34th
year in the National Football League. I’m not
flawless,” Raye said. “I think I speak with
good diction. I don’t garble anything. I think I
express myself pretty well. So, whoever
Yahoo! is, maybe he should come call the
plays.”
Raye said in many instances he’d rather
accept a 5-yard penalty than use a timeout.
Smith said the situations Sunday were too
crucial and he made the choice to call timeout.
Smith pointed to one situation on their third
offensive play of the game, a first-and-10 on
the 18, when he might not have needed to do
so but didn’t want to disrupt any momentum
with a penalty.
Raye said there is a group of “fail-safe”
plays Smith can go to in case of a mixup or in
a case like Sunday when he didn’t get the
coach at Hillsdale the same time Parodi
coached at San Mateo, in ’04. The two are
good friends and see each other during the
week because Parodi teaches classes at both
Hillsdale and San Mateo.
“We joke that we got traded for each other,”
Parodi said. “It’s great to see both schools
doing well again (after a number of tough
years). I’m a huge Scheller fan and it’s been a
fun experience getting to hear the kids from
both schools talk back and forth and being in
the middle of it.”
In addition to providing discipline and
organization, Parodi has provided his players
with a scheme to which they’ve responded
well. When he first took over, Parodi knew he
didn’t have to reinvent the wheel. However,
the one thing Parodi did do was demand
accountability and a workmanlike effort.
“As far as off-the-field stuff, the players
know we have high expectations,” he said.
“But I’m not trying to run this military style.
It’s a testament to the kids that they’ve made
it cool again to play football at Hillsdale.”
The Knights are seeing the fruits of their
labor pay off. Three key players —
entire play. Yet shifting to those options with
the clock running down isn’t necessarily the
easiest thing to do, either, for a quarterback
who thrives when things are running smooth-
ly.
The 49ers (0-1), the preseason favorite to
win the NFC West, didn’t manage a touch-
down in their opener — and now things get
even tougher with the Saints coming to town
for a prime time matchup.
“I think it’s important that all of you under-
stand that this game has a human element to
it,” Raye said. “Of the games that were played
last week, I would dare say that there was any-
one in the position I’m in that was flawless.
So, what could I have done better? I could
have maybe had a better plan. I could maybe
have made some better decisions. Hopefully
the ones that I made were the correct ones.
You hope they play out that way. Because of
that there are any number of things that you
always think back on when you lose that you
could have done better. And if you don’t, then
you probably shouldn’t be in the game.”
Raye said he approved of Smith bringing up
the problems with the calls getting in on time,
which Singletary initially understood as being
caused by Smith’s headset malfunctioning.
On Monday, Singletary changed his tune.
Smith said it was a problem from time to
time last season, too. He took over as starter
from Shaun Hill on Oct. 25 at Houston.
receiver/cornerback Grant Cecil, strong safety
Josefa Vuatalevu and linebacker Cale Rafael
— didn’t play last year, all for different rea-
sons.
“But they found the light and decided they
wanted to be a part of this,” Parodi said. “It’s
great they’re all playing.”
Any team expecting to contend for a cham-
pionship needs a playmaker, and Hillsdale has
one in multi-purpose threat Anthony Huni,
who rarely comes off the field. The 5-foot-7,
155-pound senior plays receiver, cornerback,
returns kicks and punts and is the kicker. Huni
returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown in
last week’s 41-0 shellacking of Yerba Buena,
and also hauled in a 49-yard TD reception
against Menlo.
Huni possesses tremendous speed and
moves in the open field. The victory against
Menlo looks even better now after Menlo
knocked off small-school CCS power Carmel
last week, 34-29.
“It definitely makes us look good,” Parodi
said. “I hope Menlo goes 9-1. We’re happy as
heck we won that game.”
Hillsdale’s defense proved vital against
THE DAILY JOURNAL
The 49ers aren’t the only ones dealing with
this. Saints coach Sean Payton said Thursday
they blew two timeouts in their opening 14-9
win over the Minnesota Vikings, a rematch of
last season’s NFC championship game.
“You just want the quarterback to have
enough time, not to feel hurried. We had a
couple of similar issues. Last week, we had to
burn a timeout twice. I was late getting plays
in and it ended up hurting us. I think it’s fair-
ly common in Week 1.”
NOTES: The 49ers will retire new Hall of
Famer Jerry Rice’s No. 80 jersey during their
home opener Monday night against the Super
Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
Rice will be honored during halftime. He
also will be inducted Saturday into the
Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame
for his outstanding achievements and contri-
butions to the organization.
Rice will serve as an honorary team captain
before Monday’s game, when he will be for-
mally presented with his Pro Football Hall of
Fame ring from hall executive director Steve
Perry.
Rice holds virtually every significant
receiving mark, including most career recep-
tions (1,549); yards receiving (22,895); total
touchdowns (208); and combined net yards
(23,546) in his career with San Francisco,
Oakland and Seattle.
Menlo, as it contained one of the more potent
offenses in the PAL. Parodi raves about free
safety Angel Salazar.
“Angel is lights-out,” he said. “He’s a phe-
nomenal football player, a great athlete and
gets the defense in the right spots to make
plays. He makes all the tackles, and you can
never understate how important tackling is.”
Although Parodi has been pleased with the
performance of his top players, he’s most
proud of the fact that literally everyone who
takes the field has made an impact. Against
Yerba Buena, quarterbacks Nick Serrata and
Yannis Tsagarakis combined to complete six
passes to six different receivers. Against
Menlo, a number of reserves made big plays
late in the game when a couple of starters had
to go the sideline due to cramps.
“I was very excited looking back at the film
of the Menlo game because all of the kids
were playing their butts off,” Parodi said. “We
were playing backups towards the end of the
game and they all made a play at some point.
I’m a big process guy and the process has
worked well enough to get a good result so
far.”

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
“Jerry Springer, The Opera.”
Tasteless. Vulgar. Blasphemous. And,
when you really come right down to it,
pretty much obscene. Having said that,
you won’t be able to avert your eyes as
the energy, humor and sheer musical
power of this current Ray of Light
Theatre production blows the walls out
of San Francisco’s Victoria Theatre and
takes the audience along for a wild ride,
showing human (and divine) nature at its
rudest and most raucous.
Based on (what else?) The Jerry
Springer Show, this high intensity musi-
cal passes up no chance to offend,
throwing in everything from tap-dancing
Ku Klux Klan members to Jerry’s
attempt at reconciling Jesus and Satan.
Devotees of Springer’s show will relish
the in-jokes and newbies can enjoy the
piece as a stand-alone comment on the
American dream of 15-minute fame.
A British musical written by Richard
Thomas and Stewart Lee, JSTO ran for
609 performances in London from April
2003 to February 2005 before touring

LOS ANGELES — Kaitlin Olson was
glad when her real-life pregnancy
became part of the story last season on
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” so
she could stop hiding it. But she’s keep-

daddy.

get it out of me,” Olson said.

Drawing inspiration from, attention to,wild eats By Amy Serafin

LEVI LAPLAND, Finland —
Rene Redzepi was crouched and
using a sharp knife to scrape lichen
from rocks. The tiny green tubes usu-
ally feed reindeer in this land above
the Arctic Circle.
“If animals can eat it, we can,” said
Redzepi, who was among 14 of the
world’s most influential chefs at a
gathering in Lapland earlier this
month. The goal was to dig their
hands in the soil and make a meal
from whatever they could find in one
of the last untouched places on earth.
Called “Cook It Raw,” the event
marked the third time in just over a
year that these chefs have hunted,
fished and foraged together — each
time in a new location — then pre-
pared a meal while leaving the small-

A pair of Italians, a restaurant con-
sultant and a food writer, first organ-
ized Cook It Raw as a prelude to the
U.N. Climate Change Conference in
Copenhagen last year. At that gather-
ing they asked the chefs to prepare
dishes using little or no conventional
energy, leading to memorable cre-
ations such as Redzepi’s squirming
live prawns, or Massimo Bottura’s
“pollution” soup, illustrating a pro-
jected future in which the oceans
contain only squid and jellyfish. The
group then came together again in
January in Friuli Venezia Giulia,
Italy, where the ingredients they used
included raw venison and rare Rosa
di Gorizia radicchio.
This time, they flew to Helsinki
from as far afield as London, New
York, Sao Paulo and Tokyo, took a

But civilization is taking its toll here
too, with global warming driving up
temperatures and foreign companies

As the planet transforms, an
increasing number of chefs are step-
ping out into the wild and creating
food defined by a specific time and
place — a way of cooking that has
become the next big movement after
the science projects of molecular
gastronomy.
One of its pioneers, Redzepi, who
is from Denmark, shot to first place
on Restaurant Magazine’s list of the
world’s 50 best restaurants this year
with his Copenhagen restaurant,
Noma. In Lapland, he saw a world of
gastronomic possibilities in the
fuzzy mosses and mushrooms of the

Burger joint lets customers make the menu
By Arian Smedley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Ever chow down at a
restaurant and think, “I could do bet-
ter?” A new burger joint is giving you
the chance to prove it.
At 4food, a recently opened burger
shop in Manhattan, you’re not restricted
to the menu on the digital screen.
Customers are encouraged to mix and
match ingredients, actually add their
creations to the menu, then share them
with friends on social networks like
Facebook and Twitter.
What’s the incentive, you ask, other
than the satisfaction of (maybe) watch-
ing your culinary creation be devoured
by the masses? If someone orders your
dish, you get a 25-cent credit.
And you can build your better burger
online or onsite.
In the store, you can be guided by a
staffer, called a hawker because they
“swoop in and help when needed,” said
one. Or, you can go at your own pace on
one of the bolted-down iPads. When
you get to your table, you can continue
dreaming up great creations — there’s
free Wi-Fi for browsing the Web while
eating. You also also see Foursquare
check-ins and tweets about the experi-
ence on their 240-square-foot LED
monitor, if that’s your thing.
And if it’s all just too confusing, pre-
built burgers also are available.
Adam Kidrom, the man behind 4food,
says his goal was simply to provide fast,
nutritious, customizable foods made of
all-natural, local ingredients.

And so here he is, in a location he knows
well surrounded by actors at the top of their
game, making a movie that, like “Gone Baby

hairs, since Affleck is from Cambridge and the
movie takes place in Charlestown — and
there’s even a thrillingly staged police chase
on the narrow streets of the North End, not
exactly the easiest place to flee quickly — but
it’s that kind of insularity that’s crucial to the
film’s themes of secrecy and loyalty. And yes,

Then came “Hollywoodland,” which earned

Now Affleck returns with “The Town,” a
genre-bending bank-heist thriller that is loaded
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Chuck Hogan, “The Town” focuses on a
group of lifelong friends living in
Charlestown, just across the Zakim Bridge
from Boston. Having grown up poor amid the
impenetrable cycle of crime and drugs, they
haven’t got much going for them — except
their meticulous ability to rob banks and
armored cars and get away clean. Affleck is
their leader, Doug MacRay, whose father
(Cooper) was a pretty legendary criminal in
the neighborhood himself before being sent to
prison for life.
Doug had a chance to leave Charlestown
and forge a better future as a professional
hockey player, but his temper cost him his big
break. Now, along with his best friend Jem
(Renner) and a couple of other guys, he pulls
off these perfectly timed heists for the local
crime boss, a surly Irish florist played by the
always-welcome character actor Pete
Postlethwaite.
During their latest crime, the volatile Jem
takes a hostage of bank manager Claire
Keesey (Hall), but when they realize later that
she lives just a few blocks away in
“Backdraft,” “Parenthood”). And his adapta-
tions of the Dan Brown best sellers “The Da
Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons” were
laughably over the top. Still, he’s prolific —
and when he’s on, he’s on. And he’s versatile.
His early comedies “Night Shift” and
“Splash” still hold up well today. “The Paper”
is one of the more amusing depictions of jour-
nalism you’ll see on screen. “Apollo 13” and
“A Beautiful Mind” couldn’t be more differ-
ent but they’re equally effective. And one of
his most recent films, “Frost/Nixon,” is his
best: a great example of letting strong writing
and acting shine through.
• Sydney Pollack: He used his acting expe-
rience as adeptly behind the camera as he did
in front of it. Pollack won Oscars for best pic-
ture and best director for the epic “Out of
Africa,” but the former student of legendary
acting teacher Sanford Meisner also turned up
on screen in everything from his own produc-
with action but also heavy on gritty working-
class drama and sweet romance. He directs and
stars, delivering what Damon called the “best
performance I’ve seen in a long time.”
“This one is really, I think, the one where peo-
ple are just going to remember who he is and let
all of the other stuff go,” said Damon, who
shared a screenplay Academy Award with
Affleck for “Good Will Hunting.” “He’s just a
monumentally talented guy. In a lot of ways, I
always think of Clint, because Clint was doing
orangutan movies, and people weren’t taking
him as seriously. And look at the second half of
his career. He’s an icon. And I really feel like
that’s the kind of career Ben’s going to have.”
Damon has starred in two films directed by
Eastwood, last year’s “Invictus” and the upcom-
ing “Hereafter.” So he’s in a good position to

& Grace.” He was a scene stealer in “Tootsie,”
which he also directed — a rare comedy for a
filmmaker who clearly had heady ideas. But
he always had a knack for provoking, whether
with thrillers like “Three Days of the Condor”
and “Absence of Malice,” romances like “The
Way We Were” and “Out of Africa,” or dramas
like “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”
• Sofia Coppola: She was universally
ridiculed for her supporting role as Mary
Corleone in her father Francis Ford Coppola’s
“The Godfather: Part III.” But Coppola has
since established herself as a director of great
vision and sensitivity. Her debut, “The Virgin
Suicides,” was gorgeous and insightful. The
melancholy “Lost in Translation” earned her
an Oscar nomination for best director, making
her one of only four women ever to achieve
that honor. The historical mash-up “Marie
Antoinette” was a visual feast, and her latest,
compare and contrast his pal Affleck and grand
old master Eastwood.
Hearing of Damon’s high praise, Affleck
smiled.
“Who needs a publicist when you’ve got a
friend like Matt?” Affleck said in an interview
at the Toronto International Film Festival,
where “The Town” played in advance of its the-
atrical release on Friday. “I’ve got to pay this
guy.”
In the tabloid years, Affleck could get prick-
ly in interviews if reporters brought up his per-
sonal life, and he seemed more sensitive about
criticism of his performances. Though he got
many fine reviews for his work in such films as
“Chasing Amy,” “Dogma” and “Changing
Lanes,” he said he often felt critics judged him
too harshly because of his gossip value.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
pulp, full of shady characters and shoot-em-
ups, the added drama of a romance makes
sense. Plus it provides the film with some
sweetness that’s a nice counterbalance to the
violence, and it allows an opportunity for
Affleck’s character to open up. The other rela-
tionship that reveals what Doug is made of is
with Jem, and Renner is as riveting here as he
was in “The Hurt Locker.” Every time you see
him, you know danger can’t be far behind, but
the unpredictability of what he might do is
what makes his scenes exciting to watch.
Hamm has just as strong of a presence in a
calmer, cooler way as the FBI agent in charge
of investigating this string of robberies. He’s
quick, verbal and commanding and has one
great, crackling showdown with Affleck in an
interrogation room. The film’s other major
showdown takes place at Fenway Park, site of
the crew’s biggest job yet, and Affleck got
intimate access to the cramped, ancient ball-
yard to shoot his tense climax.
Would a real fan try to steal millions from
the Red Sox? Maybe not. But at least Affleck
has the means and the talent to do it with style.
“Somewhere,” just took the top prize at the
Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion. And
she’s only 39 years old — that’s pretty excit-
ing.
• Sean Penn: His work both in front of and
behind the camera keeps getting better. In
2007, he directed “Into the Wild,” a devastat-
ing look at the meaning of survival featuring a
killer performance from Emile Hirsch; the
next year, he starred as slain gay rights leader
Harvey Milk in “Milk,” and won his second
best-actor Oscar. One of the hallmarks of the
films Penn has directed — including 1995’s
“The Crossing Guard” and 2001’s “The
Pledge,” both with Jack Nicholson — is that
he never shies away from the bleaker aspects
of the story. It’s as if he’s taken his own for-
midable ability to portray the raw humanity of
his characters and honed it into a similar
intensity when he directs others. And in doing
so, he’s truly found the best of both worlds.
“Tabloids do a lot to get in the way of trying
to do this work, because they cause audiences to
think of you in a different context, and it makes
it much harder for them to believe you playing
your role. And then they blame you for it,”
Affleck said. “I could try to go back and re-liti-
gate my case in various ways, but, you know,
some of them I might win and some of them I
might lose. So it really doesn’t serve me to
worry about a review I got back when Barack
Obama was a state senator in Illinois.
“What serves me is paying attention to the
kind of work I want to do now, having a very
strong, frank, candid metric for evaluating my
own work. I am interested in criticism and feed-
back from thoughtful, fair people who care, and
because good criticism can really, really be a
great benefit. It can help you learn.”

PORTOLA
Continued from page 1
Portola staff manned a table outside
Parkside’s cafeteria, where children waited
for their parents to pick them up.
Staff indicated the evacuation went well.
The school, at 300 Amador Ave., conduct-
ed a fire drill last week and students were
prepared for yesterday’s evacuation, staff
indicated. The school did not pull the fire
alarm.
Kindergartners were singing “The Wheels
on the Bus” as they boarded buses for
Parkside, staff said.
Dara Alonso, a second grader at the school,
said she wasn’t scared during the morning
evacuation.
“We did get a little nervous when we saw
the firemen,” Alonso said.
She also said “lots of men in blue trucks”
came to the campus.
Her father, Ed Alsonso, picked up his
daughter at about 1 p.m. from Parkside.
“I heard from my mother who saw the
school was being evacuated,” Alonso said.
“The school called me at about 12:15 p.m.”
Alonso wasn’t sure if the school had sent
him or his wife a text message regarding the
incident.
Rich Rubina, whose 6-year-old son Rocco
is in first grade at Portola, received a record-
ed message from the school’s principal yes-
WEEKEND JOURNAL
“You start to
calm down from that and
then this happens,and you’re
back into thinking,are you safe?”
— Rich Rubina
terday morning informing him of the evacu-
ation.
“Once I got that, I tell you, my heart sank,”
Rubina said. “You hear that and that’s not
what you’re expecting to hear and you’re try-
ing to gather all the information and assess
it.”
He rushed to pick up his son, stopping first
at Portola since he heard that the evacuation
was still under way. All of the students were
gone by the time he got there, so he headed
to Parkside, where he picked up Rocco.
Rubina arrived back home with his son at
about 11 a.m. but said yesterday morning’s
events left him rattled, especially since the
school is so close to where the explosion
happened.
“You start to calm down from that and then
this happens, and you’re back into thinking,
are you safe?” he said.
PG&E encouraged people to stay away
from the school while the investigation was
conducted.
An open house scheduled at the school last
night will be rescheduled and school will be
open today, according to district officials.

Restraining influences that kept you from doing what you
wanted in the past will finally be alleviated in the year ahead,
freeing you up to successfully pursue a number of objectives.
It could be a year of many fulfillments.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Don’t hold back from getting
involved in an enterprise in which you are asked to play a
prominent role. Once your imprint is on it, you won’t have to
share the spotlight with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - By associating with good friends
with whom you have strong personal bonds, you can reap
more benefits than usual. Each will be able to do for the other
what s/he needs.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - This is likely to be one of
those rare days when something you’ve been desiring will
work out exactly as you had hoped, without any strings
attached, and, surprisingly, without you lifting a finger.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Devote as much time
and energy as you can to enhancing your financial position.
Conditions are extremely favorable for adding to your holdings
and growing your bank account.

recipient of some kind of inspirational message. Chances are
it will contain certain valuable information that will profoundly

will be one of your best assets, and will serve you well. The
more you show your appreciation for others, the more they’ll
want to do for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t hang back or be timid in
any way when it comes to your ambitions. You can realize the
success you crave, if you pursue your objectives with all the
gusto you can manage.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Maintain a positive attitude,
regardless of how fearful you really are about going after
something you want badly. If you truly believe in yourself and
your abilities, you’ll make all the right moves.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Even if you have to deal with
some changes not of your making, everything is likely to turn
out just fine. In fact, things could end up being much greater
than you thought possible.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Get out and move around a bit,

any way. Once you are out and gadding about, your attitude
will improve immensely.

Continued from page 5
the funds could change as information
becomes available, the group is soliciting
ideas from individuals through its Facebook
page. In addition, members of the nonprofit
have been talking with city and county offi-
cials as well as those affected to decide how
the money will be used.
“We’re asking people where they see the
gaps. We want to be inclusive in this process,”
said Carson, who hopes to begin distributing
the first series of grants in two weeks.
“We have an interest in helping people in
the long run,” he said.
Many short-term needs have been addressed
by the American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter.
While the organization does not yet know how
much has been donated to the fire relief fund,
Communications Manager Melanie Finke
explained that the funds will support efforts
already under way.
Since the explosion and fire on Thursday,
Sept. 9, the American Red Cross has worked
to talk one-on-one with about 240 families
who were affected, said Finke. This allows the
Red Cross to put the families in contact with
organizations who can help with their specific
needs. But first, temporary shelters needed to
be set up. Originally, the local area assistance
center was set up at the Veterans Memorial
Recreation Center. It closed Wednesday
evening allowing for the new San Bruno
Recovery Center, located at 900 Cherry Ave.,
Ste. 332, to open.
In addition, the American Red Cross has
traveled through the site offering snacks
and water to emergency workers on the
Coroner examines explosion remains
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Mateo
County Coroner’s Office is examining
remains recovered from a home destroyed
in the San Bruno explosion and fire that
could be that of three missing family mem-
bers.
A statement released by the Bullis family
Thursday says remains have been recovered
at the address where 50-year-old Greg
Bullis, his 16-year-old son, William, and his
scene, said Finke.
A number of local organizations have made
hefty donations to the American Red Cross’
efforts.
On Friday, Sept. 10, the Sutter Health
Network gave $150,000 to the American Red
Cross.
The Safeway Foundation has helped in a
number of ways. First, it donated $25,000,
provided sandwiches, water and ice Thursday
evening, and allowed emergency workers to
use a refrigerator truck through the weekend,
said spokeswoman Susan Houghton. Sixty
families affected were also given a $100 gift
card for groceries, said Houghton who noted
the number in need has since risen. As a
result, Safeway is using a portion of the origi-
nal donation to be sure each family has access
to a grocery gift card. Lastly, 71 Peninsula
stores began collecting donations from shop-
pers. As of Thursday afternoon, about eight
hours before the collection was set to end,
shoppers had donated $28,000.
Wells Fargo donated $50,000 and allowed
82-year-old mother, Lavonne, were believed
to be at the time of the blast last week.
The family statement said it is “with heavy
hearts that the Bullis family announce the
passing of Lavonne, Greg, and William
Bullis.”
San Mateo County Deputy Coroner Emily
Erickson confirmed the remains were under-
going scientific analysis, but said it could

customers to give while using the 85
Peninsula ATMs. Wells Fargo is accepting
donations through the end of the month. Thus
far, the company estimates several thousand
has been collected through customer dona-
tions.
The Salvation Army roughly estimates
$20,000 in donations to date, said Laine J.
Hendricks, public relations director for the
Golden State Division, who added that only
accounted for online donations and two large
checks that came into the San Francisco head-
quarters. That does not include call-in dona-
tions to the 800 number or any mailed checks.
Funds raised by the Salvation Army will
assist families well into the long-term recov-
ery phase by providing counseling and case-
worker services to the families, said
Hendricks. Those services could include
rental assistance, utility assistance,
clothing/furniture vouchers, food, childcare
assistance, rehabilitation services, seasonal
assistance and other referrals.
“Of course, we’re still in the early phases of
there may be until the families have a better
idea of when they can return to their homes or
where they might rebuild their lives. But we
plan on making our services available to those
families, even if it’s long after this event fades
from the headlines,” she said.
Earlier this week, the city of San Bruno set
up a fund on behalf of the Glenview victims.
A donation total was not yet available, how-
ever it will get a boost from a local baseball
team.
The San Francisco Giants donated $3 from
every ticket on Tuesday’s game against the
Los Angeles Dodgers to the cause. In addi-
tion, money was collected at the game and the
front office, and a grant from the San
Francisco Giants Community Fund resulted in
a $120,000 donation. These funds have yet to
be given to the city.
The San Francisco Foundation began col-
lecting funds per the request of Karen Baker,
secretary of service and volunteering for
CaliforniaVolunteers.org, said Sara Ying
Rounsaville, vice president of public affairs
and communications. An initial donation by
the foundation of $100,000 set the stage. As of
Tuesday, Sept. 14, $4,471 had been collected
from 52 sources.
Donations will be distributed to a variety of
local nonprofits which the San Francisco
Foundation vetted and entered into an agree-
ment with well before Thursday’s events, said
Ying Rounsaville.

workers.
A vigil for Jessica Morales, 20, is scheduled
today. She was visiting her boyfriend, Joseph
Ruigomez, and settling in to watch the sea-
son’s first NFL game at his house when the
explosion ripped through the street, her
remained in critical condition.
Elizabeth Torres, 81, lived two doors down
from the Greigs, where she raised nine chil-
dren over the last 40 years. She had just
returned from a gambling trip to Napa Valley
and was with family, getting ready to watch
the New Orleans Saints taken on the
Minnesota Vikings, according to the Los
Angeles Times.
Two of her daughters and a son-in-law were

just yards from the source of the blast.
As residents in the less damaged homes
remember their neighbors and try to return to
their routines, government agencies have
started to plan the removal of contaminated
ash left by the fire.
Crews have sprayed water on ash piles to
keep the wind from scattering them until a
contractor can haul them out. The dust is like-
ly tainted with toxic chemicals from the incin-
and breathing it in could harmful, said San
Mateo County environmental health director
Dean Peterson.
“The ash is sitting there, and is something
that has to be handled in a very specific way
so it does not create a public health hazard or
environmental danger,” he said.
County workers also have placed sand bags
around storm drains to keep the ash from get-
ting into a nearby creek as the rainy season
starts.
