Sharp contrast between Boxer, Fiorina
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California Republicans
sense perhaps their best opportunity to defeat
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, among the
most liberal members of Congress and a con-
stant target of conservative ire.
The state’s economy is a mess, and their can-
didate is a former business executive whose
campaign has focused on creating jobs as the
state tries to rebound from the deepest downturn
since the Great Depression.
Boxer, true to form, is putting up a fight in her
quest for a fourth Senate term. On the campaign
trail and in television ads, she says Republicans
have given her a challenger who laid off thou-
sands of workers and shipped jobs to China and
India when she was head of Hewlett-Packard
Co.
Boxer and GOP candidate Carly Fiorina, who
is in her first run for public office, differ on
almost all issues, including offshore oil drilling,
health care reform, tax cuts for the wealthy and
abortion.

told authorities it was “no big deal” her 4-
year-old daughter ate a pot brownie was sen-

parenting classes after pleading no contest to
child endangerment.
Marisela Guadalupe Barraza, 19, settled her
case yesterday, roughly a week after her
arrest. After serving the jail term, for which
she has credit of 21 days, she must also spend
four years on probation. Barraza could have
received up to a year in jail on the charge.

The nation’s most populous state has endured
an official unemployment rate above 12 percent
for more than a year, although joblessness is
much higher in some areas, particularly the

Caltrain board approves
fare increase, service reductions
The Caltrain Board of Directors voted yesterday to imple-
ment a 25 cent increase to the zone fare and to eliminate four
midday trains to close a $2.3 million gap in the Fiscal Year 2010
operating budget.
Beginning Jan. 1, the fare for each zone will increase 25
cents, with multi-ride tickets and passes adjusted accordingly.
The fare for a one way ticket from San Francisco to San Jose
will increase from $7.75 to $8.50. The increase will generate
approximately $1.4 million in additional revenue this fiscal
year. The last fare increase was implemented in January 2009.
Also on Jan. 1, four midday trains (northbound: 237 and 257,
southbound: 236 and 256) will be eliminated between the hours
of 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., so trains will operate hourly. This
change will save the agency approximately $160,000.

Students recreate masterpieces on doors
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Four-foot versions of well-known, and
also dead, artists Diego Rivera, Andy
Warhol and Frida Kahlo, as well as the
work of Pablo Picasso and Matisse,
gathered in front of Horrall School
Wednesday morning.
The artists were being depicted by stu-
dents. Children at Horrall School Visual
and Performing Arts and Technology
Magnet in San Mateo take part in an
integrated program where art is mixed
with other lessons. The students recently
took on a symbolic project: recreating
works inspired by masters on 23 sal-
vaged doors. A free community art event
will be held Saturday, “Opening Doors
Through the Arts,” to debut the work. In
addition, people can make their own
work which will become the final por-
tion of the installation.
“The aim of the project was not only
to engage students in a collaborative art
history study, but to show how ordinary
forms can become extraordinary
metaphors,” explained artist-in-resi-
dence Sinem Banna. “The doors sym-
bolize opportunities, chances and
changes. Installing the doors on a fence
represents how fortunate we are to be
part of a school where students have
access to the arts and how their creative
minds can pass through life’s obstacles.
Horrall School is the door on a fence,
opening students’ horizons and guiding
them to discover the power of creativity
in and through the arts.”
Horrall is in its third year as an arts
magnet school, which includes five
artists in residence with disciplines
including dance, theater, music and visu-
al arts. Students attend each discipline
once a week.

Burlingame to install
high-speed rail ‘poles’
The city of Burlingame is erecting story
poles next week so residents can better under-
stand the impact of a proposed aerial structure
for high-speed rail.
The Burlingame City Council has approved
the erection of “story poles” to show the
approximate height of a proposed high-speed
rail aerial structure at the Burlingame Avenue
Train Station. The story poles are designed to
educate and inform the community about one
of the alternatives being proposed by the
California High-Speed Rail Authority for
high-speed rail through the city of
Burlingame. The poles will show the approxi-
mate height of the aerial viaduct and electric
cables that will power the train. It will be dis-
played in public parking Lot V next to the
Burlingame Avenue Train Station. The public
is invited to attend the event and review the
aerial structure and catenary cable heights.
Erecting story poles to represent the aerial
structure is part of an ongoing effort by the
city of Burlingame to educate the public about
the high-speed rail project proposed along the

County expands flu
vaccine priority group
As flu season begins in California, county
health officials have expanded the vaccination
priority group and now recommend anyone
older than 6 months be inoculated as early as
possible.
“The flu vaccine is safe, and one shot will
protect against three strains of flu, including
H1N1. Influenza viruses mutate from year to
year, which makes it important to get vacci-
nated every year,” said Dr. Scott Morrow, San
Mateo County health officer.
Flu season in California generally begins in
October and peaks in late December through
March.
The timing and spread of the disease is
unpredictable and it takes about two weeks to
gain protection after receiving a flu vaccina-
tion which is why earlier is better, according to
local health officials.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control, 5 to 20 percent of the population gets
the flu each year, resulting in more than
200,000 hospitalizations and thousands of
deaths.
Health providers and retail stores, such as
Costco and Walgreens, have seasonal flu vac-
cine available. The county is also holding clin-
ics beginning this month.
The clinics may ask for a small donation but

Adoption fee lowered
for Giants-colored cats
Through Oct. 31, the Peninsula Humane
Society and SPCA is setting the adoption fee
at $9 for cats with black or orange coloring in
recognition of the San Francisco Giants’ sea-
son and rare playoff appearance.
“Cats and baseball are a perfect match,” said
PHS/SPCA spokesman Scott Delucchi.
“Everyone knows cats have nine lives, and
baseball has nine innings and nine players.”
Currently, the shelter has more than 50 cats
who are either all black, partially black or
orange-colored. Normal adoption fees for cats
range from $50 to $80. To see some visit
www.PHS-SPCA.org.
“We’ll give a special gift to the adopter who
comes up with the best Giants-themed name
for their new cat or kitten,” said Delucchi. “We
have a long-haired black cat who bears a strik-
ing resemblance to one Giants all-star pitcher.”
All adoptions will include a spay or neuter
surgery, a microchip, all vaccinations and a
health and behavior screening.
Shelter adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
during the week and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
weekends. Adopters are kindly asked to arrive
at least an hour before closing to complete an
adoption.
Man arrested for
diamond pendant theft
A Redwood City man confessed to snatch-
ing a $12,000 Canary diamond necklace off
the neck of a 58-year-old woman at the
Sequoia Caltrain station Sept. 25, according to
police.
Jeffrey Thompson, 51, was arrested yester-
day in Redwood City for strong-arm robbery,
according to police.
The suspect followed the woman off a bus
before taking the necklace, according to
police.
Video surveillance cameras captured the
suspect and his photograph was distributed
among local law enforcement. Based on infor-
mation from the flier, police received informa-
tion that the suspect could be Jeffrey
Thompson. The victim was shown a photo
lineup where she positively identified
Thompson as the suspect. Thursday, Redwood
City police officers located Thompson in the
500 block of Woodside Road where he was
taken into custody without incident.
The whereabouts of the necklace are still
unknown and Thompson was booked at the
San Mateo County Jail for robbery.
Fishermen, Red Cross
team up for blood drive
Effort in honor of San Bruno fire victim
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The American Red Cross has teamed up
with a popular fishing website to organize a
blood drive in honor of 19-year-old Joseph
Ruigomez, who was badly burned in the Sept.
9 PG&E gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno.
Sara O’Brien, a spokeswoman for the
American Red Cross, said she was
approached with the idea for the blood drive
by members of ImHooked.com, a website for
fishing enthusiasts.
Ruigomez has been a member of the group
since he was 13 years old and goes by the
screen name Panfish Popper, O’Brien said.
Imhooked.com members know Ruigomez
through his passion for fishing and his role as
a online forum mediator on the site, and they
wanted to do something to support his recov-

Obama wants old Senate seat for Dems
By Mark S. Smith

CHICAGO — Battling to keep
his old Senate seat out of GOP

It’s been a slugfest, and polls put
the race neck-and-neck.

Israelis, Palestinians

JERUSALEM — In the clearest
sign that a deal may be emerging to
keep the troubled U.S. Mideast
peace push alive, a top Palestinian
official said Thursday that his side
would accept an American propos-

construction for two months.
Israel indicated it, too, was edg-

country’s ambassador to
Washington confirmed for the first
time that the U.S. is offering
“incentives” for Israel to extend a
just-expired settlement slowdown.
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu also came out in favor
of a contentious new loyalty oath
in what appeared to be an attempt
to placate hard-liners opposed to
further concessions on the settle-
ments.

Vote no on Measure O
S
hould voters approve a new
$186 million bond to refi-
nance debt, construct a new
continuation school and do other
improvements in the San Mateo
Union High School District?
The answer is no, but it’s a chal-
lenging road to reach that conclu-
sion.
The district is asking property
owners to extend and expand a
bond payment from an average of
$31.79 a year per $100,000 of their
assessed property value to $36.79
per $100,000 of their assessed
property value to raise $186 mil-
lion. It would add 10 to 15 years of
payments to their debt obligation
for a $137.5 million bond passed in
2000 and a $298 million bond
passed in 2006 for the average
property owner from before 2020-
2025 to before 2030-2035.
However, it is less than one propos-
al that would have extended pay-
ments through 2058. As the origi-
nal bonds are paid off and the obli-
gation is reduced, the amount to be
paid by the average property owner
for this new bond would increase,
but never be above the original
$36.79 per $100,000 of assessed
property value.
The primary point of this propos-

More bike room for Caltrain
Editor,
I would be more inclined to use
Caltrain if it had space for 80 bikes
on every train so that I would not be
bumped and cause me to be late to
work or late in my return home. As
it is now, I use a fold-up bike at
times, but it is not the answer as
there is not much space on the other
cars for a fold-up bike.
When I use the bike car, the peo-
ple ask me to fold-up my bike so
that more bikes will be allowed onto
the train. If Caltrain needs more pas-
sengers, bike riders would use the
train on a regular basis if they were
not in danger of getting bumped.
Can you imagine having to get to

loan from 2007 taken out to com-
plete projects that could not be
completed with the initial 2000
bond measure. The idea is, by
clearing that debt with a lower
interest rate available now would
free up approximately $1.5 million

The consolidation loan was an

agement by a previous administra-
tion. There is new leadership now,
both in the superintendent’s office
and on the Board of Trustees, and
the idea of restructuring the debt at
a lower rate and freeing up general
fund money is a worthwhile goal. It
is a weighty request considering
the amount of money voters have
already agreed to pay and the pre-

Stocks edge lower
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks edged lower
Thursday, backing away from early
gains, as uncertainty built up ahead of a
key report on the labor market.
The Dow Jones industrial average
came within two points of 11,000 before
turning lower for most of the day. The
Dow hasn’t traded above that level since
May 4, about a week after reaching its
highest point of the year.
Slightly better news on claims for
unemployment insurance gave stocks an
early lift, but the gains faded quickly as
traders opted for caution ahead of
Friday’s employment report from the
Labor Department, the most crucial
piece of news on the economic calendar.
Stocks are coming off a historically
strong performance in September, and
analysts say the market will need signif-
icant doses of positive news on the econ-
omy, corporate earnings or, preferably,
both before heading decisively higher
again. The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 10.4 percent in September, but is
still 2.1 percent below its 2010 high
reached on April 26.
Adobe soars on report of Microsoft bid
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Shares of Adobe
soared in heavy trading Thursday on a
report that Microsoft CEO Steve
Ballmer discussed a possible buyout of
the company.
A report posted in the “Bits” blog of
The New York Times said Ballmer
recently met with Adobe CEO
Shantanu Narayen to talk about
Apple’s control of the cell phone mar-
ket and how Microsoft and Adobe
could work together to fend off the
iPhone maker.
It was in this context that a possible
buyout of Adobe by Microsoft Corp.
came up, according to The Times.
Microsoft had no comment.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Christmas shop-
ping season doesn’t kick off for another
six weeks, but retailers already are sig-
naling they’re prepared to discount
aggressively to entice shoppers still skit-
tish about spending.
Gift buyers are likely to scrutinize
every purchase, from $20 toys to $1,000
designer jackets, do their homework
before they buy, and limit how many
stores they visit.
Wall Street
In economic news, first-time claims
for unemployment insurance fell last
week, a better result than analysts were
expecting. Retailers including Macy’s
Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch and Limited
Brands Inc. reported better-than-expect-
ed monthly sales, which initially provid-
ed a lift to the market.
The retail-sales news was positive, but
“there’s not enough to move the needle
given that we’ve got the big jobs report”
Friday, said Hank Smith, chief invest-
ment officer at Haverford Investments.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
19.07, or 0.2 percent, to close at
10,948.58. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 1.91, or 0.2 percent, to
1,158.06, while the Nasdaq composite
rose 3.01, or 0.1 percent, to 2,383.67.
Falling stocks narrowly outpaced ris-
ing ones on the New York Stock
Exchange, where consolidated volume
came to 3.9 billion shares.
There is a wide range of expectations
for how Friday’s jobs report might turn
out, said Ed Crotty, chief investor officer

THE REASON: A report posted in

said Microsoft Corp.CEO Steve
Ballmer recently met with Adobe
CEO Shantanu Narayen to talk about
“millions of customers around the
world” with Microsoft, and “the CEOs

Legislation introduced this year that
would have given oversight of the matter
to lawmakers was killed in committee.
“As a standalone issue, we think this is
bad policy,” said Shannon Murphy,
spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker
John Perez, D-Los Angeles. “However,
it’s more irresponsible not to get a budget
than to get a budget that we’re uncom-
fortable with.”
The governor has championed the sale
of the state buildings located on 11
parcels as part of his budget demands.
The Associated Press reported earlier
That could put stores in a jam this year
because for many, deadlines for holiday
orders were in spring when the econom-
ic recovery looked more solid. Since then
several indicators and consumers’ collec-
tive mood have darkened.
Retailers aren’t expecting a flashback
to 2008, when they were stung by shop-
pers who drastically cut spending after
the financial meltdown. Stores had to
mark down items as much as 90 percent
to clear them out.

upbeat results might not be enough to
drive stocks significantly higher.
“If the number is good, there will be
skepticism it’s not sustainable,” Crotty
said.
Claims for unemployment insurance
have been falling steadily in recent
weeks, but still indicate that employers
aren’t ramping up hiring. Payroll compa-

employers trimmed jobs in September

Mazda’s new small car is fun to drive

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The bright, neon-green exterior ensured no
one missed my 2011 Mazda2 test car. But it
was the hatchback’s maneuverable small size
and fuel economy that really caught every-
one’s attention.
New for 2011, the diminutive Mazda2 is the
first smaller, so-called B-segment car that
Mazda Motor Corp. of Japan has brought to
the United States in some seven years.
Less than 13 feet long and lighter than many
small hatchback competitors,
the Mazda2 is a
nimble, five-
door handler
whose 100
horse-
power
engine provides a surprisingly sprightly ride,
particularly with the five-speed manual trans-
with manual transmission.
This makes the Mazda2 the fourth-best non-
mission. Behind The Wheel 2011 Mazda2 AP hybrid small car in the United States in gas

By comparison, the Honda Fit five-door
hatchback with 118-horsepower, four-
cylinder engine started at $15,650
for the 2010 model year, and
the Scion xD hatch-
back started at
$15,620.
Pricing for 2011s hasn’t yet been announced.
The 2011 Nissan Versa hatchback has a
starting retail price of $14,270.
While reluctant to characterize the Mazda2
as cute, I admit that opening the home garage
each day and seeing how little space the car
took up made me smile. There’s nothing
intimidating about this little car, outside or
inside, where the gauges and controls are fair-
ly simple to use and understand.
I appreciated that the Mazda2 retains the
circular air vents on the dashboard that are in
other Mazdas. They can be cranked around to
about any direction and angle and make
adjusting air flow around your face and body
easier than in many other cars.
But, because passengers in the Mazda2 sit
at car height on the road, I didn’t like having
my views blocked by every pickup truck,
sport utility vehicle and van in front of me.
Also, a few times, when drivers cut me off in
traffic, I wondered whether the Mazda2 was
so small that they didn’t see me coming.
Still, the ride and driving was impressive for
such a small, low-cost car.
The 1.5-liter, double overhead cam four
cylinder has variable valve timing and worked
well with the manual transmission to give the
car a frisky personality. Peak torque rating is
98 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm.
The 100 horses and 98 foot-pound of torque
don’t sound like much until the Mazda2’s
light weight is factored in. Weighing barely
2,300 pounds with manual transmission, this
little hatchback is lighter than the Fit, Mini
and Versa.
As for safety, the Mazda2 comes standard
with the usual safety equipment, such as front,

side and curtain air bags, antilock brakes and stability control.
Even traction control is standard.
The test Mazda2 bounded up hills, was a zippy city travel-
er and did well on highways, all without the engine sounding
overly stressed.
The interior isn’t exactly quiet, but it’s not noisy, either.
The gearshift lever, located at the lower part of the center of
the dashboard, rather than in the center console, had a notchy
feel, but I never missed a shift.
A four-speed automatic also is available, but it adds $800 to
the price and reduces the city and highway mileage rating by
2 mpg.
Overall, in a test drive with about 60 percent city driving,
the test car averaged just over 32 mpg without any effort to
maximize mileage.
Passengers felt some vibrations. But it wasn’t a harsh ride.
Even with a relatively small wheelbase — the distance
from one wheel on one side of the car to the other wheel on
the same side of the car - the Mazda2 didn’t bob up and down
too badly over highway expansion cracks.
Generally, body motions in this front-wheel drive car felt
damped and nicely controlled.
Rear-seat legroom is an abbreviated 33 inches but head-
room is commendable at 37 inches.

This time, Norton had court-appointed
attorney Lisa Maguire who bluntly told
jurors her client’s girlfriend was the real
killer and asked them not to believe the
two young Norton sons who formed the
backbone of the prosecution case.
On Thursday afternoon, less than a
day after beginning deliberations, jurors
returned guilty verdicts on the counts
sought by the prosecution which prose-
cutor Al Giannini said was a testament to
the boys’ credibility.
“I am so very glad the family can
finally start the healing process. They are
people of enormous faith, dignity and
personal strength, but the burden they
have been bearing through all of this was
enormous,” Giannini said.
The boys, 7 and 9 at the time of their
mother Tamika Mack Norton’s July 22,
2006 murder, told jurors they heard her
scream their name that morning. The
elder, Quincy Jr., also testified he saw
his father holding her down on the bed
and that he calmly told him to return to
his room. Less than a minute later,
Norton came out of the bedroom,

The union represents approximately
2,000 county employees from hospital
workers and nurses to court reporters
and finance analysts. The current con-
tract expired in August and the negotia-
tions with the county have been fruitless,
according to the union.
The membership offered to pay more

$150 million by 2015 without action.

daughter and left the home.
The short time frame was one reason it
was impossible for Norton to have killed
his wife that morning, according to
Maguire, who had argued the boys were
confusing that day with a previous inci-
dent.
Aside from the Norton children’s tes-
timony, the Norton case also included
disparate explanations for how the DNA
of Norton’s girlfriend, Anitra Johnson,
arrived at the Norton home on Mira
Vista Court. The defense used it as proof
Johnson actually killed Tamika Norton
while the prosecution said the DNA
could have been deposited any number
of ways and any number of times prior
to the time of the crime.
At its crux, jurors were asked to
decide who Norton was — an admitted
wife beater who killed his wife when she
sought a divorce or an innocent man
whose girlfriend killed her romantic
rival because she thought the couple
were remaining together.
Giannini called the defense story
that Johnson took Norton’s keys,
stranding him at her Milpitas home,
and drove to Daly City to kill Tamika
Norton in anger sparked by his arriv-
same effort mirrored by those on the top
tiers.
The union concessions total $5.5 mil-
lion but the county’s structural savings
could be worth more than $10 million
annually if leaders agreed to the same
for management, union officials claim.
“[T]he county has rejected our propos-
al that would save the county millions of
dollars opting instead to defend the sta-
tus quo and protect its highest-paid man-
agers and overpaid consultants,” Howard
said.
County brass didn’t directly address
the union’s charges but said they are
hopeful for a resolution.
“We are currently negotiating with
SEIU Local 521 and we remain opti-
mistic that we will reach an agreement
that is both acceptable to our union
members and recognizes the significant
financial challenges our organization
faces,” said county spokesman Marshall
Wilson.
At Wednesday’s gathering, workers

ing late for bowling “stupid.”
Maguire said Johnson was a woman
scorned, with a violent temper.
The defense called Johnson as a wit-
ness but she invoked her Fifth
Amendment right against self-incrimi-
nation.
Although Norton did not testify on his
own behalf, Maguire told jurors he came
home to find his wife in a pool of blood
and fled with the children out of fear
he’d be suspected. He did not call 911
and later dropped the kids off with his
brother’s common-law wife and
remained at large for five weeks before
surrendering.
Giannini told jurors to question why
Norton wouldn’t seek help or ask his
sons what happened if he was not the
killer. He said Tamika Mack Norton did
not scream again after calling his sons’
names because she feared Norton would
harm them. If the killer was Johnson, she
would not have had that same concern.
Norton remains in custody on no-bail
status.

after a questionable umpiring call to beat the
Atlanta Braves 1-0 in Game 1 of their NL
division series Thursday night.
“That’s one of the best efforts I’ve ever
seen,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
“What a great job that kid did. He’s tough.”
Lincecum pitched a gem, a day after
Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay threw only the
second no-hitter in postseason history in his
debut. Lincecum outdueled playoff veteran
Derek Lowe and caught a break, too.
Cody Ross singled in the only run
Lincecum needed in the fourth after Buster
Posey was called safe on a steal of second by
umpire Paul Emmel. It was the first career
steal for Posey, even though he appeared to be
tagged out by Brooks Conrad on the play —
retiring Braves manager Bobby Cox, the all-
time leader in ejections, did not argue.
“I haven’t seen it,” Cox said. “Some of the
guys came down after that inning and said he
was out by six, eight inches. From the dugout
you can’t see anything.”
Lincecum struck out Derrek Lee for the
third time to end the 119-pitch masterpiece in
2 hours, 26 minutes. He became just the 12th
pitcher with 14 or more strikeouts in a post-
season game.
In a postseason already filled with plenty of
stellar pitching, this was the first 1-0 game in
the postseason since 2005, when the Chicago
White Sox finished off a World Series sweep
over Houston.
Game 2 of this best-of-five series is Friday
night, with 13-game winner Matt Cain going
for the Giants against Tommy Hanson.
Lincecum’s only other complete game this
season came in a two-hit shutout of the New
York Mets on July 15.

Jordan is back
in the spotlight
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After all those champi-
onships and MVP awards, Michael Jordan has
finally arrived — on the cover of a basketball
video game.
Jordan fronts NBA 2K11, a game that
allows fans to add Jordan to their favorite team
— if they can first replicate some of his great-
est highlights.
One of sports’ top pitchmen during his Hall
of Fame playing career, Jordan had never
before appeared on the cover of an NBA-
licensed basketball game.
Now the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, the
six-time champion with the Chicago Bulls
said Thursday the deciding factor in doing it
now was the opportunity “to connect to this
generation, when in essence a lot of these
young kids never saw me play.”
“They do remember me from ’Space Jam,’
but not from basketball,” Jordan said. “So I
felt like this would be a good opportunity to
kind of expose them to that.”
Jordan had input in the development of the

Manusky said Thursday. “He did quite well. I
was proud and pleased with his performance.”
The 49ers weren’t expecting to ask for that
performance so soon. San Francisco wanted to
give its second-round draft pick more time to
adjust to coverage responsibilities at the NFL
level, since Mays often lined up 20 yards off the
ball during his college career at USC.

Burlingame (0-0,2-2) at
Sacred Heart Prep (0-0,4-0),3 p.m.
The Panthers are coming off a dominant 42-
12 win over Woodside. The Gators out-
slugged Scotts Valley two weeks ago.
The best part of the three-division Peninsula
Athletic League is every game is virtually an
elimination game. The team that wins the Bay
Division will likely have to run the table, one
loss — and almost certainly two defeats —
will all but knock a team out of championship
contention. That’s what makes this game so
important.
Burlingame put together an entire game —
offense, defense and special teams — against
Woodside. QB Nik Gutierrez was in a groove
against the Wildcats, passing for 151 yards on
8-of-10 passing. Kicker Kevin Nasre also had
a night to remember, booting four field goals,
with a long of 38.
SHP scored the winning touchdown last
week with less than 30 seconds to play when
Robert Ojeda scored on a 12-yard run. WR
Tomas O’Donnell finished with six catches
for 158 yards and two long touchdowns.
Menlo School (0-0,3-1) at
Half Moon Bay (0-0,3-1),6 p.m.
The Knights are coming off a bye last week
after having blasted St. Elizabeth-Oakland 49-
0 two weeks ago. The Cougars beat El
Camino 34-21 last week.
This is the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean

Woodside (0-0,0-4) at
San Mateo (0-0,2-2),7 p.m.
The Wildcats were blasted by Burlingame last
week, 42-12. The Bearcats were buried by
Menlo-Atherton, 34-6.
This is the first meeting between the two teams
since Woodside spanked San Mateo 41-6 in 2006
as San Mateo went winless that year in the Bay
Division. Woodside went on to finish second.
This year, however, the roles are reversed. The
Wildcats have won only one of their last 13 games
dating to last season, while San Mateo advanced
to the Central Coast Section semifinals last sea-
son.
Woodside continues to struggle on both sides of
the ball. The offense is averaging only eight
points a game while the defense is allowing near-
ly 34. Their 12 points scored last week were the
first points they’ve scored since a 32-20 loss to
Sacramento to open the season.
San Mateo started the season 2-0, but have been
routed by two Bay Division squads the past two
weeks. Before the shellacking they took at the

mark this week. In four games, he’s already
passed for 898 yards, which is a 224.5 yards
per game average. He’s tossed nine touch-
downs over his last two games. Wickers is
also a threat on the ground, having rushed for
157 yards on 17 carries.
The Knights’ true ground threat, however, is
Beau Nichols, who is averaging 88 yards per
game and has scored four times.
Half Moon Bay led only 26-21 with just
over seven minutes to play as El Camino
scored two touchdowns during a four-minute
span. But Wes Walters scored with just over
two minutes to play and a Jose Ahumada
interception iced the game for Half Moon
Bay.
Wes Walters and Dominic Sena combined
to rush for over 350 yards for Half Moon Bay.
Aragon (0-0,2-2) at
Terra Nova (0-0,2-2),8 p.m.
The Dons are coming off a 35-0 shutout
over Capuchino last week. The Tigers had a
bye last week, but crushed San Mateo 50-29
two weeks ago.
Aragon will be the first Bay Division squad
to try stopping Terra Nova’s high-powered
spread attack. The Tigers’ lowest scoring out-
put came in a 27-14 loss to Wilcox. In their
three other games, the Tigers are scoring an
average of just over 42 points per game. Since
allowing 42 points in their opener against
Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Tigers’ defense is
allowing just over 16 points per contest.
Aragon looked strong for a half against
Capuchino, despite the lopsided score. The
Dons scored 28 of their 35 points in the first
half as they racked up 301 yards of offense in
the opening 24 minutes. They kind of let off
the gas in the second half and that could bad

San Mateo was physically beat up by the Bears
last week, losing their top two running backs and
top two defense players in George Naufahu
(ankle) and Moto Filikitonga (knee). If they’re out
this week, San Mateo could be in trouble.
Capuchino (1-2) at Harker (5-0),7 p.m.
The Mustangs are coming off a 35-0 thumping
at the hands of Aragon. The Eagles are coming off
a 23-0 win over California School for the Deaf.
Capuchino coach Jordan Seiden didn’t find a
lot of positives immediately after the loss to the
Dons last week, but the Mustangs did do some
good things. Most importantly, they did not give
up the big play to the Dons, forcing them to go on
long scoring drives. They also held the Dons to
just one touchdown in the second half.
Capuchino has to find a way to start quicker.
The Mustangs finished with only 165 yards, but
had only 36 yards of offense in the first half.
Harker, a member of the Bay Football
Conference in the North Coast Section, has been
a juggernaut this season. The Eagles are led by a

The Indians had a bye last week, but beat El

The Cherokees blasted Balboa last week, 54-
19. The Knights were routed by Roosevelt-
Corona, 49-3.
Sequoia is going way out of the section for this
one — all the way to San Diego County. If noth-
ing else, the trip should provide a bonding experi-
ence for the Cherokees, and a win would make it
even better. Sequoia’s scoring average of over 42
points is tops in all of the PAL. The defense isn’t
as good, but a 20 points against average is solid.
By contract, San Marcos is averaging just over
17 points per contest, while allowing nearly 30.
Serra (0-1,2-2) vs.
Sacred Heart Cathedral (0-1,3-1)
at Kezar Stadium,2:30 p.m.Saturday
The Padres were pounded by Valley Christian
last weekend, 52-23. The Irish are coming off
their first loss of the season, a heartbreaking 33-32
loss to Mitty.
The good news for Serra this week is it won’t
have to face Valley’s Byron Marshall, which
scored four touchdowns last week. More good
news for the Padres: since the Irish returned to the
West Catholic Athletic League two years ago, the
Padres have beaten them twice by a combined
score of 68-23.

opportunity strikes, we’ll try to take advantage.”
These two teams have split their last two
meetings. The Knights dealt the Colts a 56-28
beating last season in response to El Camino’s
49-21 drubbing in 2008.
Adding to the emotions of a league opener are
the emotions that go along with being reigning
PAL Lake Division champions and the weight
of wanting to defend that title. The Knights
went 5-0 in winning their first division champi-

“The last thing we talked about today was,

This is another big test for Jefferson, which
has a played a fairly rugged schedule by their
standards. They could easily be 4-0, suffering
a one-point defeat to San Marin-Novato.
Offensively, the Indians are second in the
Ocean Division in scoring, averaging over 25
points per game.
The Warriors, however, are averaging near-
ly 10 points less.
Skyline-Oakland (0-3) at
Carlmont (2-2),3 p.m.
The Titans are coming off a 21-6 loss to
Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland two weeks ago. The
Scots snapped a 21-game losing streak to
Aragon, winning 20-6 before last week’s bye.
Through the 1990s and the early 2000s,
Skyline was one of the top programs in
Northern California, constantly in the conver-
sation of best teams not named De La Salle.
Over the last several years, however, the pro-
gram has fallen on hard times. The Titans
have not had a winning season since 2004 and
over the last three years, they’ve won a total of
six games.
This year, Skyline has scored a total of 21
points, while allowing 113.
The Scots have already proven this year
won’t be like 2009. The Scots started 3-1 last
year before dropping six straight, allowing 30
points or more five times during the skid and
six times overall. This year, they’ve only
allowed 30 or more once as their defense is
averaging 19 points allowed. Against Aragon,
running back Robert Johnson accounted for
264 yards of offense. Defensively, Carlmont
forced Aragon into nearly a half dozen
turnovers.

Turner acknowledges his defense will be up
against it taking on the Knights, so the best way
to help the defense is not allow Hillsdale’s
offense to have the ball. The Colts offense will
need to go on long, time-consuming drives to
limit the time the Knights have the ball.
“There are some things in our secondary
we’re trying to shore up,” Turner said. “They
have a big-play ability.
They’re a scary offense,” Turner said.
That offense was grounded two weeks ago
when Gunn pitched a 21-0 shutout. While
Parodi doesn’t necessarily believe in a good
loss, he said it was good to get a taste of what El
Camino will try to do by playing a similar team
in Gunn.
“The Gunn game was a reality check. For
whatever reason, we weren’t ready to go,”
Parodi said. “The best part was, when we left
the field, we were still undefeated in league.”

Rangers,Yankees on brink of advancing

Young’s 3-run homer
helps Rangers beat Rays again
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Two dominating
pitching performances and a long home run by
playoff neophyte Michael Young have the Texas
Rangers on the verge of winning a postseason
series for the first time.
Young hit a three-run homer one pitch after
keeping a fifth-inning at-bat alive with a disput-
ed check-swing, helping C.J. Wilson and the AL
West champions beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-0
Thursday for a 2-0 lead in their AL division
series.
Texas is the only current major league fran-
chise that’s never won a playoff series. After
winning consecutive games on the road, that can
change with one victory when the best-of-five
matchup shifts to Rangers Ballpark this week-
end.
Game 3 is Saturday, with Matt Garza pitching
for Tampa Bay against Colby Lewis.
Ian Kinsler also homered for the Rangers,
who are in the playoffs for the first time since
1999 and hadn’t won a post-
season game in 14 years
before Cliff Lee shut down
the sputtering Rays in their
home park on Wednesday.
Wilson was equally
impressive, allowing two
hits in 6 2-3 innings. He
gave up a single to leadoff
Michael Young man Jason Bartlett to start
the game, then limited the
Rays to just three baserunners on an error, a
walk and a hit batter over the next five innings.
Willy Aybar doubled in the seventh for the
second hit off the Texas starter, who departed
with runners at second and third. Darren O’Day
struck out pinch-hitter Matt Joyce, and Darren
Oliver got four outs to finish the two-hitter
before a sellout crowd of 35,535.
Long known for fielding powerful lineups, the
Rangers finally look as though they have the
arms to match.
“The story today was our pitching,” Young
said.
Pettitte puts Twins in
their place,Yanks win 5-2
MINNEAPOLIS — Andy Pettitte and the
New York Yankees stumbled through
September and landed in the AL wild-card spot.
As the Minnesota Twins can attest, the
Yankees are hardly an underdog in October.
Pushing the home-field advantage back in
Minnesota’s face, Pettitte turned in a vintage
postseason performance with seven smooth
innings and Lance Berkman had two big hits for
New York in a 5-2 victory over the Twins on
Thursday evening for a 2-0 lead in their best-of-
five division series.
Berkman hit a go-ahead home run in the fifth
and a tiebreaking double in the seventh against
Carl Pavano, sending the Twins to their 11th
straight postseason loss. Eight of those have
come against the Yankees, who trailed in each
of those games.
Mariano Rivera got three outs for his second
save of the series, extending his postseason
record to 41.
The Twins haven’t won a postseason game
since 2004, matching the Philadelphia Phillies
(1915-1976) for the second-longest streak in
history behind the Boston Red Sox (1986-1995)
and their 13 in a row.
Berkman, yet another big-name veteran find-
ing a place on a Yankees postseason roster, even
on the downside of his career, made it 2-1 with
his drive into the left-center bullpen in the fifth.
His double in the seventh — one pitch after it
appeared Pavano sneaked strike three past him
— drove in Jorge Posada and gave New York a
3-2 lead.
The disputed call by plate umpire Hunter
Wendelstedt led to the ejection of Twins man-
ager Ron Gardenhire following Berkman’s dou-
ble.
Derek Jeter chased his old teammate Pavano
off the mound with a half-swing RBI single to
make it 4-2. Curtis Granderson scored New
York’s first run and came up with three more
hits. And the Yankees headed back home for

right into October. His strikeouts set a franchise record for a
postseason game — his eighth time with 10 or more Ks this
year and 27th of his career.
“He was lights out,” Cox said. “We had two runners at sec-
ond base all night and that’s it.”
Lowe, who won his last five regular-season starts with a 1.17
ERA over that stretch, allowed one run on four hits in 5 1-3
innings, struck out six and walked four.
Lincecum, still hitting 91 mph on the
radar gun in the ninth, became the first
pitcher to record 12 strikeouts or more in
the playoffs since Roger Clemens had 15
for the New York Yankees against Seattle
in the 2000 AL championship series.
Lowe was done after giving up Posey’s
double and a walk in the sixth. That
delighted the orange towel-waving sellout
Cody Ross crowd of 43,936 at AT&T Park, which
drew the largest attendance for a postsea-
son game in the ballpark’s 11-year history.
Ross delivered in the fourth after Lowe intentionally walked
Pablo Sandoval. Ross is one of a handful of late acquisitions to
contribute to the Giants’ first NL West title and playoff berth
since 2003.
Making his playoff debut at age 26 and in his third full major
league season, Lincecum looked every bit an ace. He was
whose career-worst five-start losing streak began with a defeat
Aug. 5 at Atlanta.
Lincecum allowed a leadoff double to Omar Infante to start
the game, then retired the next nine Braves batters in order
before Jason Heyward drew a leadoff walk in the fourth. The
stretch included five straight swinging strikeouts in the heart of
Atlanta’s order.
It was a tough night for a Braves team playing without
injured All-Star infielder Martin Prado, who sustained a sea-
son-ending torn oblique muscle and hip pointer Sept. 27. That
was a big blow considering he batted .307 with 15 home runs
and 66 RBIs.
Posey had two hits and also shined in his first playoff game,
which featured the Giants catcher and Atlanta outfielder
Heyward — the two leading candidates for NL Rookie of the
Year.
Ross started in right field for the Giants, who left Jose
Guillen off the playoff roster because his injured neck isn’t 100
percent.
Notes: Braves RHP Takashi Saito, sidelined with shoulder
soreness since mid-September and not on the playoff roster, is
scheduled to pitch Saturday at instructional league to stay
sharp. ... The Giants left struggling $126 million lefty Barry
Zito off the roster. ... Giants 1B Aubrey Huff ended a stretch of
1,479 games without a playoff appearance — third longest
among active players. He went 1 for 3 with a walk ... The only
larger crowd at AT&T Park was for the 2007 All-Star game

game, which was released Tuesday and
includes features such as the “Flu Game” and
the “Shrug Game.” The five-time MVP said
he’s received great response, adding that his
boys are “totally going crazy.”
To obtain Jordan for their team, players first
have to unlock him by completing the “Jordan
Challenge,” a series of 10 of Jordan’s most
memorable performances that he helped
select.
Among them are his 63-point performance
against Larry Bird and eventual champion
Boston in 1986, and Chicago’s Game 5 victo-
ry over Utah in the 1997 NBA finals, when
within a victory of another title. There’s also a
1992 finals game against Portland, when
Jordan could only shrug after hitting his sixth
3-pointer of the first half — which the video
game character also does.
“To me the toughest was probably the flu
game under the circumstances, what I had to
deal with to play and what was at stake at that
time,” Jordan said. “And the easiest of the
ones that was on the list was probably the 63-
point game, which is the only game I probably
lost of all the highlights.”
Once that’s been completed, fans can place

were in the 2010 NBA draft. In a commercial
promoting the game, Kobe Bryant obtains the

Lakers.
against the top players than join them.
“Would I do it? No. But can a kid do it?”
Jordan said. “Can a Laker fan do it? Yeah. I
think that’s the beautiful part of the game.”
In real life, Jordan is focused now on build-
ing a team. He returned from a trip to the
Ryder Cup to watch his Bobcats fall to 0-2 in
the preseason with a 97-93 loss to Oklahoma
City on Wednesday.
Charlotte made its first playoff appearance
last season, then lost point guard Raymond
Felton when he signed with the New York
Knicks. D.J. Augustin is now the starter, and
Jordan said he doesn’t need an upgrade.
“I got a point guard. I got two, actually,” he
said. “So I mean, I’m always looking to better
the scenario if any other All-Star point guards
become available. Sure, I’d be willing to talk,
have.”
The Bobcats could have landed Nets point
guard Devin Harris in the collapsed four-team
proposal that would have sent Carmelo
Anthony from Denver to New Jersey.
Charlotte coach Larry Brown covets solid
play at the position, and there’s been specula-
tion he’ll lobby Jordan to obtain someone.
“That’s Larry,” Jordan said. “If you know
Larry, Larry wants to always (have) the high-
est. He would love to get a marquee point
guard as we would all, but I mean, as of right
now we have a point guard and we have to
support him until things change.”
The video-game Bobcats have no such
problem. They can do what the real team
never can: get Jordan out of the front office
and into uniform.

McFadden misses practice again

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Oakland Raiders running
back Darren McFadden sat out his third
straight practice with a sore hamstring and is
almost certain to miss Sunday’s game against
San Diego.
Michael Bush, off to a slow start after miss-
ing the first two games with a broken left
thumb, handled the majority of reps in prac-
tice Thursday and will likely start against the
Chargers.
McFadden’s absence would be a blow to
Oakland’s sputtering offense. The former
first-round draft pick is tied for third in the
NFL with 392 yards rushing, 35 more than he
had all last year. It’s also the best start by an
Oakland running back since Lamont Jordan
had 424 yards after four games in 2007.
McFadden isn’t the only Oakland player
hurting.
Backup running back Michael Bennett
(hamstring), left tackle
Robert Gallery (ham-
string), defensive tackle
John Henderson (foot) and
linebacker Thomas
Howard ((knee) all sat out
Wednesday’s workout.
Linebacker Quentin
Groves (hamstring) was
Darren limited in practice but
McFadden isn’t expected to play
much, if any, against San
Diego.
Additionally, quarterback Bruce
Gradkowski (shoulder) was limited while
first-round pick Rolando McClain was
excused for a second straight day due to per-
sonal issues, though the rookie linebacker will
play against the Chargers.
The Raiders insist McFadden’s injury isn’t
like the one that sidelined him early in train-
“I didn’t think it would happen like how it
ing camp but coach Tom Cable said it was
“very, very doubtful” that the third-year run-
ning back would play against San Diego.
Instead, Oakland will lean heavily on Bush,
who has only 10 carries this season after lead-
ing the Raiders in rushing in 2009.
Bush’s power running is in stark contrast to
the quicker, slashing style of McFadden,
though Cable doesn’t think the Raiders will
alter their offense much because of the change
in the backfield.
“If you look at when Mike’s played, it’s
been the same things,” Cable said. “He runs
more physical in the box maybe. You may not
get as much play on the perimeter but you’ll
get it running downhill at the defense.
(McFadden) has been very productive so
we’ve got to find a way to get that same pro-
duction but I think Michael’s ready to take
that load.”
Neither Bush nor McFadden were made
“It’s very motivating, and it’s a little bit differ-
available to the media Thursday. McFadden
didn’t attend practice, either.
Rock Cartwright has taken only a handful
of plays on offense for Oakland this year and
will be Bush’s backup if McFadden and
Bennett are ruled out.
The Raiders could get a lift if Gallery is
cleared to play. Gallery hasn’t played in three
weeks but Cable is apparently willing to start
him if he practices Friday.
“The workout was good this morning, so if
we can get some work out of him tomorrow
we’ll see what happens,” Cable said. “If
depends on how the work goes. If it looks
erratic and all that, it’s not worth doing that.”
NOTES: The Raiders failed to sell out for a
10th consecutive home game dating back to
2009, meaning the game will be blacked out
in the Bay Area. ... Rookie OL Jared Veldheer

But after an 0-3 start, the 49ers decided it was
time to accelerate Mays’ learning curve.
Coaches planned to gradually work Mays
onto the field, asking Lewis last week to help
mentor Mays. That did not sit well with Lewis,
who promptly asked for his release and did not
make the trip to Atlanta. The 49ers released
Lewis — a former Pro Bowler who had started
50 of the team’s previous 51 games at strong
safety — on Monday.
happened, but you’ve got to roll with it and I just
went with it,” Mays said. “It was a trip the way
it kind of went down, but at the same time I was
still preparing during the week like I was going
to play, so it kind of made my transition a little
easier.”
It’s a new mentality for Mays this week as the
winless 49ers prepare for Sunday night’s game
against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles.
The 49ers have given Mays the permanent job
next to veteran free safety Dashon Goldson. San
Francisco has been looking to upgrade at safety
with fresh talent for several years, and that
search may now be over.
ent mindset for me now,” Mays said. “I just need
to be consistent and try to get better. I did some
things right last week, but I feel I can do a lot
more things better. I’m eager to show how much
I’ve improved since last week.”
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Mays possesses a
unique combination of size and speed. Mays has
been timed at 4.3 seconds over 40 yards, and his
quickness and athleticism are dimensions that
have been lacking in the San Francisco second-
ary.
Mays lasted into the second round of the NFL
draft this year because of questions surrounding
his raw skills and coverage ability. He answered
several of those concerns when given the oppor-
Now the 49ers are eager to see what kind of
impact he can make the rest of the season.
“Taylor had no mental errors in the game,”
49ers coach Mike Singletary said. “When you’re
as big a safety as he is, it was really important
for us to see if he could really get into the box
and cover, do some of the things that the small-
er, quicker-twitch safeties can do. And he can
indeed do that.
“He knew exactly where he needed to be,
played his position well and brought value to our
team. He’s continued to blossom since he’s been
here, and I think he’s going to be a tremendous
asset going forward.”

Mario Vargas
Llosa wins Nobel

By Hillel Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Mario Vargas Llosa, the

newest winner of the Nobel Prize in literature,
has never found much honor in boundaries.
“Literature shouldn’t be secluded, provin-

ZinZanni continues the saga of Caesar
the fast-talking chef, this time placing
him in the path of the irresistible
Egyptian, with surprisingly sweet and
love affirming results. Frank Ferrante

By Mike Cidoni
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — They’ve scared up
something new for fans of “The
Exorcist.”
This week’s Blu-ray debut of director
William Friedkin’s 1973 thriller classic
delivers behind-the-scenes material
never before released to the public.
“While we were filming the picture,
Owen Roizman, the cinematographer,
had a handheld camera,” Friedkin
recalled. “He was recording various

Teatro ZinZanni is known for its
amazing aerialists and acrobats, who

One of the performers is artistic gymnast

Miller.
“I really do think they put in some
other things for the sub-
stance, the texture,”
Blair noted. “The
smell was beyond
foul.”
To prepare the
original footage for
Blu-ray release,
Friedkin said he spent
months poring over the
film, frame by frame. Only when
that was done, did he sit down and watch
the movie for the first time in “a long
time.”

Fill up on fiber, protein and fluids to slim down

By Jimi Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fill up to lose fat. If you’re trying to lose
weight, filling up on fiber and low-calorie liq-
uids are key. Low-fat soups for example,
especially varieties that are loaded with nutri-
ent-rich vegetables, are an excellent way to
go. They are both filling and low in calories.
Vegetables, besides being loaded with vita-
mins and minerals, primarily consist of water
and fiber, which help to curb hunger.
And if you add grains such as rice or whole-
wheat pasta, you get lots of soluble dietary
fiber, which have been shown to be appetite-
satisfying, while also helping the body main-
tain healthy blood sugar levels.
Low-fat proteins, such as white-meat chick-
en and turkey, tofu, low-fat cheese and yogurt,
also help to fill you up. Beans and other
legumes, such as lentils, are an excellent
source of both rib-sticking protein and fiber.
This cheesy baked lentils, rice and turkey
casserole is a heartwarming comfort dish that
contains a little bit of all these foods.
Lean, ground turkey and rice are combined
with canned lentil soup, which in the twist of
a can opener provides protein, fiber and flavor
to this dish. The recipe calls for fresh spinach,
but sauteed Swiss chard or broccoli could be
substituted.

‘Good neighbor’ corn Food brief

fights borers at home, nearby
MINNEAPOLIS — This corn turns out to
be a very good neighbor.
Corn that’s been genetically engineered to
resist attacking borers produces a “halo
effect” that provides huge benefits to other
corn planted nearby, a new study finds. Since
the borers that attack the genetically modified
crops die, there are fewer of them to go after
the non-modified version.
Given that the corn borer has cost U.S.
farmers $1 billion a year, the economic bene-
fits are dramatic, according to the report in
Friday’s edition of the journal Science.
The genetically modified plants, called Bt
corn, have had an economic benefit of $6.9
billion during the past 14 years in the five
Upper Midwest corn-producing states studied,
concluded the researchers.
They were led by William Hutchison, head
of the entomology department at the
University of Minnesota, and Paul Mitchell,
an agricultural economist at the University of
Wisconsin.

In American craft brewing,IPAs reign supreme
By Eric Gorski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVE — The quest for top hon-
ors in American craft brewing has
come here, to a hotel ballroom
marked “restricted access.”
More than 140 bottles of American-
style India Pale Ale sit stacked in
donated Bud Light and King Cobra
boxes, labors of hop love brewed by a
cast of characters that includes an
organic chemist, a man with a grim
reaper tattoo and a guy who wants to
make a beer that tastes like orange
sherbet mixed with hot fudge ice
cream.
Over the next nine hours, beer iden-
tified only by number will get sniffed,
scrutinized, swallowed and spit out by
judges at the 29th annual Great
American Beer Festival, the world’s
largest beer competition.
Only one American-style IPA will
win gold, making it the craft beer
equivalent of winning “American
Idol.” Since 2001, no other contest
category has been as competitive.
“Every brewer wants this one,” as one
judge put it.
It’s a simple case of supply and
demand: the IPA’s popularity is soar-
ing among brewers and drinkers alike,
a testament to a maturing American
beer palate and this country’s rich
supply of hops in the Pacific
Northwest.
“As you go through the journey of
beer education and appreciation, hops
and big hoppy character are some-
IPAs,distinguished by strong hop character and higher alcohol content than your standard 5.0 percent alcohol

thing most people eventually gravitate
toward,” said Greg Koch, CEO of
Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido,
Calif., a pioneer of the style. “They
are just extraordinarily satisfying on
the palate. Words almost fail for me. I
feel like waxing poetic, and then my
eyes sort of get soft. It’s a romantic
subject for me.”
Consumers are showing the love.

than your standard 5.0 percent alcohol
per volume beer, surpassed amber
ales and trailed only pale ales this year
among top-selling craft brewing
styles at supermarkets, according to
Chicago-based market research firm
Symphony IRI Group. Eight of the
top 15-selling new craft brands in
2010 are IPAs.
Vinnie Cilurzo doesn’t need market
research to tell him IPAs are hot. He
can’t brew enough Pliny the Elder.
The co-owner of Russian River
Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa, Calif.,
Cilurzo compares beer drinkers step-
ping up to IPA to wine drinkers start-
ing with white zinfandel and pro-
gressing to rich, dark reds.
“The craft beer consumer’s palate is
becoming more educated, it’s becom-
ing more sophisticated, it’s growing
up,” he said. “And because of that,
IPAs are becoming more popular.”
Cilurzo brews a handful of IPAs,
Friday • Oct. 8, 2010 21
starting at 6.1 percent alcohol and
climbing to 10.5 percent. But beer afi-
cionados know him best for Pliny the
Elder, which is technically not an IPA
but a double IPA, sort of an IPA on
steroids.
Named for a Roman naturalist who
created the botanical name for hops,
Pliny is bone dry, heavy with pine-
like hops, on the low end of the dou-
ble IPA alcohol spectrum at 8 percent
and a phenomenon Cilurzo never saw
coming.
It also was the double IPA gold
medal winner at the 2005 Great
American Beer Festival.
The American-style IPA category is
so crowded this year, competition
manager Chris Swersey decides to
spread the 142 entries across seven
tables, with six or seven judges seated
at each one, for the first round of judg-
ing.
Stewards carry in the beer on trays,
like waiters. Each plastic cup has a
number and an ounce and a half of
beer.
The judges are experienced home
brewers, brewery brewers and beer
educators, with the occasional com-
mercial airline pilot or engineer
thrown in — who, of course, are also
home brewers.
Their assignment in bestowing a
gold medal is not to pick the best tast-
ing beer, but the best one that accu-
rately exemplifies the specified style
— a world-class beer with a proper
balance of taste, aroma and appear-
ance.

seven of the eight Impressionist group exhibitions, Degas

FIRE
Continued from page 1
8:26 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12.
The report is 37 pages long showing more
than 1,000 communications between dispatch-
ers and fire personnel over the course of three
days that revealed daring rescues, missing per-
sons and speculation about what caused the
explosion.
The report is called the “Glenview
Incident.”
Four weeks ago, a gas pipeline explosion
and fire destroyed a significant portion of the
Glenview neighborhood in San Bruno. The
explosion left 37 homes completely
destroyed, eight people dead and many others
suffering severe life-threatening burns.
Pacific Gas and Electric pledged $100 mil-
lion for the recovery and San Mateo County
has taken over the cleanup effort in the area,
hauling debris daily out of the neighborhood
bordered by Skyline Boulevard, San Bruno
Avenue and Sneath Lane. While 37 homes
were destroyed by the fire and red-tagged by
the county, another 21 homes suffered so
much damage they are considered uninhabit-
able, said Robyn Thaw, San Mateo County
Health Services spokeswoman.
Since the fire, both state and federal law-
makers have introduced legislation to better
monitor and to keep natural gas pipelines safe.
The National Transportation Safety Board is
heading the investigation into why the pipe
burst and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has
called on a thorough review of how the
California Public Utilities Commission moni-
tors utilities and their infrastructure.
First on scene
Reports came into 911 at 6:12 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 9 of an explosion near the
Crestmoor Canyon. The call was dispatched
40 seconds later, the first engine from San
Bruno Fire Station No. 52, in the Glenview
neighborhood on Earl Avenue, was en route at
6:13 p.m. and arrived on the scene at 6:17 p.m.
A second engine from San Bruno Fire
Station 52, located on El Camino Real near
City Hall, arrived shortly after.
The initial responders to the incident had no
clue what they were facing, said Ron Lavezzo,
the first battalion chief on the scene out of
Millbrae.
Firefighters were dealing with a fuel source
that ignited a fireball so intense that they were
forced to take a defensive stand against the
quickly spreading fire.
All firefighters could do was evacuate the
neighborhood, Lavezzo said.
A call to 911 at 6:13 p.m. indicated a plane
went down. A second call at 6:15 p.m. also
reported a plane crash.
The fireball was erupting from the intersec-
tion of Earl Avenue and Glenview Drive but
firefighters could not get close enough to see
what the source was because of the immense
heat. Besides, the explosion literally vaporized a
row of houses on Claremont Drive in a fire that
was quickly spreading to homes on Fairmont
Drive and Concord Way, Lavezzo said.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Once the area was cleared of frantic resi-
dents, firefighters were ready to defend
against the advancing fire but there was one
problem — the explosion destroyed water
mains in the neighborhood, leaving hydrants
nearly bone dry.
Immediately, firefighters started connecting
nearly 4,000 feet of hose onto hydrants in the
Rollingwood neighborhood to the north and
across San Bruno Avenue to the south.
Engines from Daly City, Pacifica,
Burlingame and Hillsborough, Colma, South
San Francisco and every other agency in the
county quickly poured into the neighborhood.
Most firefighters were still operating under the
assumption they were dealing with a plane
crash, with multiple casualties.
The fire moved to four alarms at 6:22 p.m.
and reports were still coming in from callers
that a plane had crashed in the neighborhood.
Lavezzo quickly called a “Level 2: Multiple
Casualty Incident” to prepare for the possibil-
ity of dealing with dozens of casualties.
While Lavezzo was prepared for the worst
that night, in retrospect, he realizes the lack of
thick black smoke from the fireball meant that
the gas was burning clean, that there wasn’t a
fiery plane fueling the fire.
A man named Bill Boden called 911 at 6:16
p.m. to say it “looks like gas main.”
While most of the neighborhood was evacu-
ated quickly, calls to 911 at 6:25 p.m. indicat-
ed a senior care home at 1136 Claremont
Drive had eight people trapped inside and a
call to 911 at 6:30 p.m. indicated two people
were trapped in a home on Glenview Drive.
Twenty minutes after the explosion, fire-
fighters were still concentrating on saving
lives as a full mutual aid response was being
formulated by Belmont-San Carlos Fire Chief
Doug Fry and Millbrae Battalion Chief Kevin
McWhirter.
On the defense
Since the fuel source of the fireball showed
no sign of letting up, firefighters were dis-
patched in five branches with multiple divi-
sions across the neighborhood. There was an
east, west, north, south and wildland branch
set up to save the neighborhood and to keep
the fire from spreading to the Crestmoor sub-
division east of the wooded Crestmoor
Canyon.
The south branch set up on Glenview and
Estates drives on the south side of the fireball
to water down homes to keep them from ignit-
ing. It was comprised of Millbrae and Central
County firefighters.
One division of the west branch set up on
the corner of Vermont Way and Claremont
Drive as the other set up on Glenview Drive
north of Claremont. Initially, San Bruno
engines comprised the west branch but ulti-
mately a ladder truck from Daly City and
engine from South San Francisco set up to
keep the fire spreading west toward Skyline
Boulevard.
The north branch circled the fire in three
divisions, two on Concord Way and one on
Claremont Drive, just east of where an entire
row of 10 homes were virtually vaporized by
the initial explosion, Lavezzo said.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
SAN BRUNO
Continued from page 23
The east branch was set up east of the
Crestmoor Canyon in the Crestmoor subdivi-
sion in case the fire spread, Lavezzo said. Early
on, only one firefighter comprised the entire
east branch, Lavezzo said.
The wildland branch was comprised of Cal
Fire crews in helicopters and an airplane
bomber. Helicopters dropped water on the roofs
of homes on Estates Drive and the bomber
dropped retardant into the woody Crestmoor
Canyon, successfully keeping the fire from
spreading to the Crestmoor subdivision,
Lavezzo said.
A command center was set up at the Econo
gas station, across the street from Lunardi’s, and
a LifeFlight helicopter landed in the empty lot
where Glenview Drive meets San Bruno
Avenue.
Since the hydrants were dry, 5,000-gallon
water tenders from the Woodside Fire
Protection District were called to the scene.
The tenders were dispatched to the north
branch where the most homes were at risk of
suffering fire damage, Lavezzo said.
As the branches set in to defend the neigh-
borhood, natural gas was still spewing from a
167-foot long crater created by the PG&E
pipeline explosion.
Dispatches
Calls to 911 show SamTrans buses being
requested to the neighborhood at 6:46 p.m. to
transport evacuees to either the Bayhill
Shopping Center or Veterans Memorial
Recreation Center on Crystal Springs Road.
The Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA also
offered assistance to rescue any stray animals
from the area at 6:42 p.m.
At 6:48 p.m., a staged engine was called for
Claremont Drive and Sneath Lane for an 85-
year-old woman who suffered smoke inhalation
and burns.
The woman, whose identity is unknown,
LOCAL
“I lost track of time that night.Ten seconds seemed
like an hour.Time gets compressed in those situations.”
— Ron Lavezzo,the first battalion chief on the scene
came running up Claremont Drive from around
the corner of the fireball on Glenview Drive a
full 36 minutes after the explosion was first
reported.
She was holding a towel over her mouth as
she ran up Claremont Drive before collapsing in
the middle of the street where she laid down
crying. South San Francisco firefighters swept
her from the ground and ran her to safety as
steam and smoke filled the neighborhood. The
rescue was followed by another rescue shortly
after at 6:50 p.m. when a 56-year-old woman
who was badly burned needed assistance.
At 6:48 p.m., San Francisco International
Airport indicated it still did not “have any
reports of a plane going down.”
The first time PG&E showed up on the inci-
dent report is 7:03 p.m.
“PGE advised they will call back to advise if
they are shutting down all the power in the
area,” according to the report.
While 911 got a call at 6:16 p.m. from Bill
Boden saying there was a gas line in the neigh-
borhood, a second call came in at 7:09 p.m.
with the same report from a gentleman named
Jim Groenke, a public safety communications
specialist.
PG&E had shut the electricity off in the area
at 7:12 p.m., according to the incident report.
Meanwhile, 911 was still taking calls about a
downed plane in the neighborhood.
“Resident at 1180 Tuolumne said a plane flew
over her house real low right before the crash,
heard it only, did not see it, but definitely says it
was a plane,” according to a 911 call that came
in at 7:16 p.m., more than an hour after the ini-
tial explosion.
A 911 call at 7:17 p.m. indicated people were
trapped inside a home at 1651 Claremont with
“fire around them.”
At 7:51 p.m., San Bruno police were search-
ing for a woman gone missing named Elizabeth
Torres who resided at 1660 Claremont Drive.
Police wanted to know if Torres had been evac-
uated or ended up at the command center at the
Econo gas station.
“If not there, will need welfare check at the
house of 1660 Claremont,” according to the
report.
A welfare check was not possible for that
address, however, as it was one of a stretch of
homes that were destroyed almost immediately
after the explosion. Torres would be later found
dead.
At 8 p.m., a dispatch in the report reads
“report of gas line break” and 19 seconds later
another dispatch indicates PG&E crews were
on the scene.
It took 1 hour and 46 minutes before the nat-
ural gas in the 30-inch pipeline was shut off.
At 9:10 p.m., all fire commanders were called
to the command center for a briefing about an
hour after the fireball dissipated.
At 9:13 p.m., the Safeway in South San
Francisco called to volunteer food and supplies
for firefighters and victims and offered to deliv-
er it.
At 11:10 p.m., a South San Francisco fire-
fighter needed medical attention, according to
the report.
At 11:43 p.m., the dispatch report indicated a
home at 1690 Claremont Drive was “leveled.”
It was the home of the Bullis family, Greg,
William and Lavonne, who were pronounced
dead by San Mateo County Coroner Robert
Foucrault almost two weeks after the explosion.
At 12:05 a.m., a reckless motorcyclist
allegedly ran over the foot of a police officer
who was staged in the area to prevent looting.
The motorcyclist, Paul Lee, was asked to dis-
mount his motorcycle so police could determine
what he was doing. Instead, he dragged and
drove over the foot of an officer as he sped
away. Lee, of Millbrae, faces three felonies after
he led police on a high-speed chase after fleeing
the scene.

The incident report details when fire crews
were relieved from duty late into the night and
early into the next morning. Lavezzo was on
scene for more than 19 hours, himself.
The aftermath
After PG&E shut off the 30-inch gas pipeline,
gas was still coming into the neighborhood
from other smaller 4-inch pipes, Lavezzo said.
Looking across a landscape of destroyed
homes, Lavezzo said it looked like a row of
“candlesticks” lined the block where homes
once stood. The candlesticks were actually
smaller gas pipes that fed ovens or hot water
heaters that were still lit. The small gas pipes
and brick fireplaces were often the only items
still standing from many of the 37 completely
destroyed homes.
A PG&E crew dug a whole in the front yard
of 890 Glenview Drive and “squeezed” a 4-inch
pipe shut after the 30-inch pipeline had already
been turned off, Lavezzo said.
At 8:25 a.m., Friday, Sept. 10, the report indi-
cated there were 61 total patients at area hospi-
tals and that all the fatalities were “on scene.”
Firefighters were on the scene, however, for
two more days.
More than 400 police officers, firefighters and
other public safety personnel responded to the
fire.
After the incident, firefighters were offered
stress debriefing.
“We were asked if anyone had lost track of
time in the week following the fire,” Lavezzo
said. “I lost track of time that night. Ten seconds
seemed like an hour. Time gets compressed in
those situations.”
Many of the firefighters, especially the first
two crews to arrive on scene from San Bruno,
were disappointed they could not do a better job
of containing the fire, Lavezzo said.
“A lot of guys felt bad they couldn’t do their
job because there was no water,” Lavezzo said.
“All I cared about was getting firefighters water
because they were in a bad way.”
The final incident history report of the event
will be completed after interviews are complet-
ed and personal accountability reports from
firefighters are studied, Lavezzo said.

umbrella. The final owners gave permission
just as the deadly Sept. 9 fire reaches its one-
month anniversary and crews are nearing the
end of the cleanup work.
Despite initial worries about wind and other
impediments, cleanup crews are right on time
“We did say mid-October and we’re think-
ing early next week,” said Robyn Thaw,
spokeswoman for the San Mateo County
Health Department.
Thaw said all the credit belongs to the crews
who began the Herculean effort by soaking
down the properties to maintain dust, fol-
lowed by removing burnt-out vehicles and
possibly hazardous materials. Crews even
took care to avoid disturbing pet burial plots
and searched for any personal items surviving
Prior to beginning, Environmental Health
Director Dean Peterson said the work was
about recovery, not demolition.
Metal and concrete is taken to a recycler
while the remaining ash and dust goes to a
landfill in Solano County.
On behalf of the city of San Bruno, San
Mateo County contracted with state agency
CalRecycle to clean and remove debris. The
effort was estimated to cost $1.5 million,
which will be reimbursable.
environmental health officials will take more
soil samples to compare to those collected
before hand, Thaw said.
When the property meets standards set by
the California Environmental Protection
Agency, owners will receive certification it is
not contaminated and can begin rebuilding if
that is so desired. The individual property
reports can take a few months but people can
begin plans and rebuilding beforehand, Thaw
said.
