Single-use bag ban voluntary

South City to encourage businesses to reduce plastic bag use
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Retailers in South San Francisco will
be encouraged to participate in a volun-
tary program to reduce the consumption
of single-use bags, a major source of
pollution in storm drains.
The City Council voted 5-0
Wednesday night to direct staff to imple-
ment the voluntary program, which
could one day become mandatory, said
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto.
To make the program mandatory, how-
ever, the city would have to conduct
costly environmental impact reports in
the range of $75,000 to $150,000,
according to a staff report.
Matsumoto hopes one day neighbor-
ing cities would split the cost of the
reports in an effort to stamp out the use
of plastic bags that are often only used
one time.
The city made the move after

Many people think their family is
a circus.
For Giovanni Zoppé, his family
really is one. As part of a seven-gen-
eration circus family, there was little
doubt the man who plays Nino the
Clown would end up under the big
top.
“My favorite part of the day is
when I’m in the ring. I don’t like
any part of the day as much as that.
It’s amazing,” Zoppé said.
Beginning today, the public can
see that amazement — and feel their
own — firsthand when the Zoppé

Company rents landscape goats

PORTLAND, Ore. — About 50 goats
were hired for an unusual job in Oregon,
but one they obviously were born to do:

The animals were brought in to clear

Portland, drawing hundreds of onlook-
ers.
The idea came from Brett Milligan,
whose Portland landscape company
GreenWorks was hired to tend the lot.
Milligan liked the idea of avoiding gas-

Georgina Stiner, president of Goat
Rental NW, says using goats instead of
lawnmowers is hardly new, but says
there is a growing interest for it in urban
areas.

Ruling states DA did not violate victim’s rights
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Mateo County prosecutor did not
violate an alleged victim’s rights by dismiss-
ing a molestation case and the local courts
have no ability to order the charges re-instated,
a judge ruled yesterday.
The decision is just the latest twist in the case
of Anthony John Sadek, who had his charges
dropped after prosecutors learned the former
wife who claimed he molested their daughter
may have falsified drug tests that led to his
arrest. The woman claimed Sadek drugged her
in 2006 with GHB, or gammahydroxybutrate,
so that he could gain access to their child.
Once the poisoning charges were dismissed,
prosecutors said the molestation case involving
the child were too weak to stand.
Citing victims rights bill, Marsy’s Law, the
former wife and child claimed prosecutor
Melissa McKowan never told them her intent to
drop the case and lied about whether the girl
would take the stand.
The judge yesterday never got to the merit of
the fraud claims, instead denying the petition
because Marsy’s Law does not apply to dis-
missed cases or give victims the right to rein-
state a case. A judge also cannot order prosecu-
tors to file charges.
However, after the decision McKowan
called the claims “completely, totally, cate-
gorically false.” She believes Sadek’s former
wife is simply angry with the case’s outcome
and said she regrets ever filing the charges
because they appear to have come out of a
contentious custody battle.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe called the allegations against
McKowan unfortunate because they are base-
less.
“Melissa McKowan has
spent her entire career
fighting for victims.
That’s why it hurts so
much to hear them say
those things,” Wagstaffe
said.
Nina Salarno-Ashford,
the Crime Victims United
Anthony Sadek attorney who filed the
request, could not be
reached for comment on yesterday’s ruling.
Salarno-Ashford and victim advocate Mark
Klaas said at an August press conference the
point was whether the victims were allowed
their rights, not if the molestation allegations
were true. They urged prosecutors to re-file
the case and let a jury decide.
In February, Sadek’s case was dismissed
just days before trial after McKowan discov-
ered a previously undisclosed test of his
wife’s hair that tested negative for GHB. The
finding flew in the face of positive tests by a
Houston-based forensic toxicologist that
prosecutors had planned to submit as evi-
dence. When McKowan asked that doctor for
further documentation, he couldn’t provide it.
The discrepancy of the tests, both solicited by
the civil attorney handling the divorce for
Sadek’s wife, led to the case’s dismissal.
Without the poisoning aspect, prosecutors
said it would be difficult to prove to jurors
how Sadek allegedly was able to abuse his
child while her mother was nearby. The
child’s statements were also inconsistent and
wouldn’t have stood up in court, McKowan
said.
Aside from the court motion, Salarno-
Ashford also filed a claim for damages
against San Mateo County. The Board of
Supervisors denied it.

Whitman ad misrepresents Brown
By Samantha Young
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Republican guberna-
torial candidate Meg Whitman began airing a
campaign ad Thursday that attacks rival Jerry
Brown’s opposition to the death penalty, but it
misleads voters because of
what it omits.
The 15-second television
ad reflects only part of the
Democratic candidate’s
record on capital punish-
ment.
Brown has long opposed
the death penalty on a per-
Meg Whitman sonal level, and he vetoed
death penalty legislation
when he was first governor, from 1975 to 1983.
But he has pledged to uphold California’s cap-
ital punishment law.
At the candidates’ second gubernatorial
debate earlier this month, Brown noted that he
had defended hundreds and hundreds of death
penalty cases as California’s top law enforce-
ment officer.
“Having been attorney general, having been
governor, I pledge to the people of this state I
will faithfully carry out our law on executions,
and I’ll do it with compassion, but I’ll do it with
great fidelity to the rule of law,” Brown said at
the Oct. 2 debate in Fresno.
He reiterated that position Thursday to
reporters in Los Angeles when asked about
Whitman’s ad.
Whitman deputy campaign manager Tucker
Bounds defended the ad, saying “there is no
political figure that is associated more with
opposing the death penalty” in the country than
Brown.
Whitman, the former chief executive of
eBay, has sought to portray Brown as soft on
crime, touting her endorsement from a law
enforcement group that has received most of its
funding from the Los Angeles Police Protective
League. She also has said voters can’t trust
Brown to uphold state laws because he refused
to defend Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative that
banned gay marriage in California.
Whitman’s statewide ad features police offi-
cers saying Brown opposes the death penalty,
even for those who kill law enforcement offi-
cers. It also notes his 1977 appointment to the
California Supreme Court of Rose Bird, who
routinely voted to overturn death penalty cases.

Brown attacking GOP
rival over tax cut plan
By Christina Hoag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Democratic candi-
date for governor Jerry Brown said
Thursday his Republican rival’s plan to
eliminate the state’s capital gains tax would
result in more teacher layoffs while lining
the pockets of California’s wealthiest citi-
zens.
Republican candidate Meg Whitman, a
billionaire, would be among those to bene-
fit from eliminating the tax, Brown said at a
news conference outside a Los Angeles ele-
mentary school.
“I think taxpayers have a right to know,”
he said, calling on Whitman to reveal how
much she would save.
Brown asked the same question at their
REUTERS
debate Tuesday, when Whitman acknowl-
edged she would personally benefit by not
paying a capital gains tax but declined to
state how much.
Instead, she explained how such a cut
would encourage job creation and bring
more revenue to the state.
Brown estimated Whitman would save at
least $14.9 million in taxes, a sum he calcu-
lated from the $142 million in personal
funds Whitman has pumped into the cam-
paign.
Neither candidate has offered detailed
proposals on how to fix California’s trou-
bled schools.
Brown has said he wants to shift money
from the corrections system to higher edu-
cation while boosting teacher training in K-

SACRAMENTO — Sarah Palin began a
three-day swing through California on

Last weekend, Palin spoke at a business con-

inspired a post on her Facebook page in which
she declared, “This is still Reagan Country!”
“California is at a major crossroad in this
election, and the eyes of the nation are on this
state because the Golden State has unfortu-
nately become a case study in failed liberal
policies,” she wrote Oct. 9.
On Thursday, Palin appeared in the San
Francisco Bay area at a forum sponsored by
the conservative, Washington-based Liberty

SACRAMENTO — Federal prosecutors

Albert Cipoletti is chief executive officer of
Long Island-based Ingentra HR Services, and
Kerry Seaman is its comptroller. Both were

Prosecutors say Ingentra stole money
intended for the Internal Revenue Service
while handling some of the county’s payroll
between 2007 and 2010.
The county has asked the IRS for forgive-
ness on the $17 million owed in back taxes.
The agency has not yet responded.
Cipoletti’s attorney says his client will like-

Testimony won’t
stop foreclosures
at Wells Fargo & Co.
By Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Wells Fargo & Co. does
not plan to halt foreclosures despite an
employee’s testimony that she signed up to
500 foreclosure documents daily without
reading them.
The employee of the San Francisco-based
bank said in a deposition taken last March that
she signed between 300 and 500 foreclosure
documents per day, verifying only her name
and title.
Such practices have been called into ques-
tion by attorneys general in 50 states. They
have accused mortgage companies of violat-
ing state laws.
Wells has not halted foreclosures and says it
has discovered no problems in the legal docu-
ments used to process them. The company
said earlier in the week that it would review
pending foreclosures for potential defects.
“Our records show that Wells Fargo’s fore-
closure affidavits are accurate,” said company
spokeswoman Vickee Adams. When the com-
pany finds employees that don’t follow proce-
dure, it takes “corrective action.” She declined
to comment on whether the Fort Mill, S.C.-
based employee, Xee Moua, still works for
Wells.
The deposition of the Wells Fargo employ-
ee, obtained by the Associated Press, was
reported earlier by the Financial Times. It’s
the second piece of testimony that suggests
Wells engaged in similar practices that have
led other banks to halt foreclosures.

Obama’s campaign blitz: It’s about 2012
By Charles Babington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans
are poised to topple at least a dozen
Democratic governors next month,
and that could cause President
Barack Obama and his party major
headaches far beyond this year’s
elections.
A cadre of new GOP governors,
including some in battleground
states that Obama won two years
ago, could complicate his efforts to
deliver benefits to voters and cam-
paign effectively in 2012. They
could also help create Republican-
friendly House seats in next year’s
once-a-decade redistricting process.
In the final weeks of this year’s
contest, Obama is campaigning
hard for Democrats coast to coast,
well aware of the worrisome signs
for the future. So far, his results
seem mixed, and some candidates
seem wary of him.
Democrats are at risk of surren-
dering governorships in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon, New
Mexico and Maine, among others.
Obama carried all those states under
Democratic governors in 2008. And
all will be competitive in a 2012 re-
election contest except, presumably,
his home state of Illinois.
Republican governors already
have replaced Democrats in New
Jersey and Virginia, states that
Obama also carried two years ago.
Elsewhere, Democrats are strug-
gling to win a once-promising
gubernatorial race in Florida, anoth-
er swing state that has proven cru-
cial in presidential races. Democrats
might replace GOP governors in
House to vote on bonus payment for Social Security
By Stephen Ohlemacher

WASHINGTON — The House
will vote in November to provide
$250 payments to Social Security
recipients to make up for the lack of

year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
said Thursday.

Barack Obama answers questions as he appears at a youth Town Hall on Viacom's BET,CMT and MTV networks
in Washington ,D.C.
California, Hawaii and a few others
states this fall. But Minnesota is the
only state in that category that
seems likely to be seriously contest-
ed in the 2012 presidential race.
As Obama tries to help
Democratic congressional and
gubernatorial candidates, he often
visits states that will be vital to his
re-election hopes. This year he has
traveled four times each to Florida,
Michigan and Wisconsin, five times
to Pennsylvania, and six times to
Ohio, where he plans to campaign
again this weekend in Cleveland
and Columbus.
Administration is expected to
announce Friday that more than 58
million retirees and disabled
Americans will go a second consec-
utive year without an increase in
benefits.
Pelosi said she will schedule a
vote on a bill to provide the $250
payments when Congress returns
for a lame duck session after the
Nov. 2 congressional elections. The

The president’s schedule “is driv-

Democrats in 2010,” said White

prising that competitive states this
year will also be competitive in
2012.
Next month’s governors’ races
also have big implications for U.S.
House elections from 2012 through
2020. The House’s 435 seats are
reapportioned every decade, after
each census. States will redraw
their districts next year in a process
that often is intensely political, with
payments would be similar to those
provided by the government’s mas-
sive economic recovery package
last year.
But even if Pelosi can get the
House to approve a second pay-
ment, the proposal faces opposition

Senate GOP
shifts money
to Dem states
By Liz Sidoti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Confident of
keeping a seat, Senate Republicans
are canceling $4 million in TV ads
for Florida’s Marco Rubio to put
more money toward winning a trio
of Democratic-held seats — in
California, Pennsylvania and Illinois
— where polls show races tighten-
ing.
The moves are just the latest in a
constantly shifting battleground as
Republicans seek to take advantage
of a political tail wind by broaden-
ing their footprint. Democrats are
narrowing their focus to places they
must win to keep their Senate and
House majorities.
With little more than two weeks
before Nov. 2, both sides are making
decisions hourly about where to
spend limited resources even as
donations continue to pour in.
House Democrats, who reported
raising $15.9 million in September
and have $41.6 million in the bank,
plan to spend at least $60 million in
television ads and get-out-the-vote
efforts in key House races in the
final days of the election — a last-
ditch attempt to salvage their hold
on power. They plan to run ads in 56
to 65 races over the next two weeks.
It’s a 2-1 advantage over the over-
all spending planned by House
Republicans, who had been out-
spending their counterparts over the
past seven weeks. They raised $11.2
million and had $19 million in the
bank at the end of September.

no benefit increase for 2011.
The projection will be made offi-
cial Friday, when the Bureau of
Labor Statistics releases inflation
estimates for September. The timing
couldn’t be worse for Democrats as
they approach an election in which
they are in danger of losing their
House majority, and possibly their
Senate majority as well.

Obama urging for delay in
‘don’t ask,don’t tell’ruling
By Pete Yost and Anne Flaherty
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — After two days of
silence, the Obama administration urged a
federal judge on Thursday to let the military
press on with its “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on
gays serving openly in the military. Still,
President Barack Obama insisted the policy
that has divided the nation for two decades
“will end on my watch.”
The Pentagon said the military “will of
course obey the law” and halt enforcement
while the case is still in question. But gay
rights advocates cautioned gay service mem-
bers to avoid revealing their sexuality in the
meantime.
A federal judge abruptly threw out the
Clinton-era ban on Tuesday, setting in motion
a legal, political and human-rights back-and-
forth that put the administration on the spot
just two weeks before crucial midterm elec-
tions. Obama has consistently argued against
the ban, approved by Congress in 1993. But
he says it is up to Congress to repeal it.
The policy, summed up as “don’t ask, don’t
tell,” refers to guidance that gay or lesbian
Americans can serve in the military but not
openly. Their superiors are forbidden to ask
about sexual orientation, but service members
can be thrown out or denied enlistment if they
talk about being gay or let it be known that
they engage in homosexual acts.
Obama’s Justice Department asked U.S.
District Judge Virginia Phillips to stay her rul-
ing that overturned the ban while the govern-
ment prepares a formal appeal. Asking the
judge for a response by Monday — “given the
urgency and gravity of the issues” — the gov-
ernment said that suddenly ending the ban
would be disruptive and “irreparably harm the
public interest in a strong and effective mili-
tary.”
NATION/WORLD
Obama, challenged Thursday at a town hall
meeting by a Howard University faculty
member who questioned his “alleged commit-
ment to equality for all Americans, gay and
straight,” said his stance has not wavered. He
can’t end the ban with the stroke of a pen, he
said, but “we’re going to end this policy.”
Even as the administration was arguing to
keep “don’t ask, don’t tell” in place for now,
the Pentagon’s top lawyers were telling troops
that the military intends to comply with the
court order lifting the ban.
Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman,
told reporters that the Defense Department
“will of course obey the law.” He said any
changes were effective Tuesday when the rul-
ing was first issued.
The Pentagon would not say what would
happen if the judge grants the government’s
request for a temporary stay. But it is assumed
the military would comply with that as well,
reinstating the ban
In its filing with the California judge, the
Justice Department argued that repeated and
sudden changes in policy regarding “don’t
ask, don’t tell” would be “enormously disrup-
tive and time-consuming, particularly at a
time when this nation is involved in combat
operations overseas.”
The Obama administration also filed a one-
page court notice that it is appealing the case
to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco.
If Phillips agrees to suspend her ruling,
“justice will be delayed, but it will not be
denied,” said Christian Berle, deputy execu-
tive director of Log Cabin Republicans, the
group that sued and won her ruling overturn-
ing the government’s policy.
Berle urged Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid “to do what it takes in the lame duck ses-
sion (after the Nov. 2 election) to end ’don’t
ask, don’t tell’ legislatively.”

Bolivia’s president wants them at his palace.
TV host Don Francisco wants them all on
his popular “Sabado Gigante” show in

rock, the New York City marathon invited

too, along with yields on money markets and

The steep decline has even raised worries
of a global currency war in which nations

rising in value as the dollar sags.

CPUC appoints five to investigate San Bruno explosion

By Saul Sugarman
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The California Public Utilities
Commission approved a resolution
Thursday appointing five members
of an independent review panel who
will investigate a gas line rupture
that tore through a San Bruno
neighborhood in September.
The panelists will make recom-
mendations for improvement of gas
transmission lines owned by PG&E.
A PG&E natural gas line ruptured
on Sept. 9 in the Crestmoor Canyon
neighborhood, destroying 35 homes
and killing eight people. Activists
and concerned residents demanded
an investigation of the transmission
line, known as pipeline 132.
In September, PG&E reduced the
pressure of line 132 to 20 percent
below its operation levels at the
time of the explosion on orders
from a CPUC resolution.
The resolution said the appointed
panelists will speed up an investiga-
tion so that the gas line pressure can
be restored — and so San Bruno
residents will have heat for the
approaching winter months.
“With winter approaching, it will
be necessary for the commission to
immediately hire expert consultants
to investigate the safety of increas-
ing the pressure of pipeline 132,”
the resolution said.
While many officials support the
policy, some expressed concerns
about the commission’s speed at
conducting pipeline investigations.
“There are events beyond our
immediate knowledge and con-
trol, when we do not have time
to wait for a commission’s
meeting,” said Michael Peevey,
president of CPUC.
Several others expressed the need
for the investigation given the size
and impact of the explosion.
“What happened in San Bruno
was a terrible tragedy that must be
prevented from ever happening
again,” Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
“The people deserve answers to
the many questions that are still
unanswered, and this panel of
experts will be instrumental in find-
ing those answers,” he said.
The resolution, L-405, also
ordered PG&E to pay for the five
panelists to conduct their investiga-
tion, but it did not specify how
much they would be paid. It said the
allocation of costs would be deter-
mined at a later proceeding.
“This is a good start,”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, said. “My hope is that the
panel will shed light on what caused
this horrific disaster so that we can
make the necessary regulatory and
legislative changes to ensure that
something like this never happens
again.”

Passenger and driver sit low in the
car, in typical roadster fashion. It’s not
as fun these days as it was in the hey-
days of roadsters, decades ago, because
today’s roads carry so many pickups
and SUVs that obscure roadster views.
I even looked up from the Z4 to see the
top of the trunk lid on a Ford Taurus.
The Z4 sDrive35is starts up with a
throaty sound and keeps it going dur-
ing acceleration.
The test car passed others swiftly.
With just a nudge of the accelerator
pedal, the car sped up, and turbo lag
was negligible. I had to monitor the
speedometer all the time, because the
Z4 tester crept up to higher speeds eas-
ily. It’s a car that doesn’t want to be
second or third in line or mired in traf-
fic. There’s too much power for that
kind of travel; it’s hard to moderate
your speed.
Open roads proved to be the best
showcase areas. On straightaways, the
Z4’s power propelled the car strongly
and forcefully. Passing on two-lane
roads was a quick maneuver and didn’t
require long distances of planning and
anxiety. On curvy mountain roads, the
car carved up the switchbacks. But the
rear end had a way of stepping out if
the driver was going too fast.
Drivers tailor their ride with the push
of a button, selecting normal, sport or
sport-plus mode for slightly stiffer ride
and shift pattern changes in the trans-
mission. And on the test car, the adjust-
ments made electronically in these dif-
ferent modes were noticeable.
Paddle shifters at the steering wheel
worked well for quick shifts. But the
variable speed electric power steering
had an artificial feel at times.

Woodside dominates
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division girls’ water polo standings suggest-
ed Thursday’s match between first-place
Woodside and second-place Hillsdale would
be a showdown for first place.
When the final horn sounded, however, it
was clear Woodside’s main competition is
itself. The Wildcats got seven goals and an
assist from Hayley Parker as they cruised to
an 18-6 win over the Knights.
“We can’t match them in this pool,” said
Hillsdale coach Andy Hodzic. “This is good
experience for next year.”
A number of schools in the San Mateo
Union High School District are having their
pools remodeled this season. In the past, how-
ever, many of those schools played in what
water polo aficionados refer to as “bathtubs”
— small, shallow pools.
Not that playing and practicing in a larger
pool would have made a difference for the
Knights. Woodside (8-0 PAL Ocean, 13-0
overall) was just better than Hillsdale (6-2).
The Wildcats swam faster, transitioned better
from offense to defense and were nearly
unstoppable offensively. Even with Hillsdale
milking the shot clock in an attempt to keep
the ball away from the Wildcats, it was mere-
ly delaying the inevitable.
It’s not the first time Woodside has domi-
nated an opponent. The Wildcats have been
doing the same to every team in the Ocean
Division. They’re so much better than every-
one else in league, coach Laura Reynolds is
essentially running practices during league
matches.
“What we’ve been doing for each game,
each quarter we take a certain skill to work
on,” Reynolds said. “(But) I always let them
go in the first quarter because we always start
off slow.”

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies

Woodside goalie Yia Kaliadzitis makes one of her 12 saves during the Wildcats’18-6 win.
“When you get to talking favorites and what’s expected of you,
that goes beyond the realm of what you can control.”
Who would’ve thought the losingest franchise
in pro sports would reach the point where it’s the
one other teams hope to emulate?
The Phillies are trying to become the first NL
club in 66 years to win three consecutive pen-
nants, and they’re going for their second World
Series title in three years.
Oddsmakers have made them an overwhelm-
ing favorite to beat the San Francisco Giants in
San Mateo 34-6 two weeks ago and thumped
King’s Academy 35-14 last week. The Bears
put a physical beating on San Mateo, knocking
out a number of key players.
“What impressed me was how well [M-A]
ran the ball against San Mateo,” Sell said. “If
we can get them to pass, that might be good. I
was pleased we were somewhat stout against

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — The New York
Yankees avoid Cliff Lee until Game 3 of the AL
championship series. In the opener, they instead
face another Texas Rangers left-hander who has
been greatly influenced by the postseason ace in
their short time together.
“Before he was here, I was actually a right-
handed second baseman,” C.J. Wilson joked

Because Lee had to pitch a deciding Game 5

Sabathia on Friday night at Rangers Ballpark.
Wilson already was making an impressive
transition from reliever in his long-desired
chance to be a Rangers starter again before
Texas acquired Lee on July 9. But Wilson
immediately began watching his new teammate
and asking questions.
“The thing with Cliff is that he keeps his
process the same no matter what is going on

comfortable in my role as a starting pitcher, I’ve
had to thicken those walls in my bubble to keep
everything else out and stay in my little zone
and stay with what is making me successful,
and that’s the thing he and I talk about all the
time.”
Wilson won 15 games in the regular season,
then followed Lee’s spectacular Game 1 start in
the first round with a gem of his own, allowing
two hits in 6 1-3 scoreless innings. But after
winning those games at Tampa Bay, the
Rangers lost both at home and had to go back to
Florida for the deciding game with Lee back on
the mound Tuesday night.
Now that the Rangers have finally won a
postseason series for the first time, they get to

titles and 40 pennants.

The Knights are coming off a 23-20 loss to El
Camino last week. Carlmont held off Skyline-
Oakland, 28-20.
Hillsdale got off to a slow start last week, los-
ing its first Lake Division game since 2008. The
Knights trailed 20-7 and closed to 23-20 by
scoring twice during a five-minute span. It took
nearly the entire game, but the Knights finally
got Anthony Huni going — scoring on a 52-
yard run and a 7-yard pass in the fourth quarter.
Carlmont has the third-best defense in the
Lake Division, giving up less than 20 points per
game on average. The Scots led 28-7 at half-

late in the game to preserve the win. Carlmont

are coming off a 23-20 win over Hillsdale.
Mills’ loss two weeks ago was the second
time in three games the Vikings were shut out.
Offensively, the Vikings are averaging a paltry
7.8 points per game, while allowing nearly 47
points a contest.
El Camino does nothing fancy offensively,
but what the Colts do, couldn’t be stopped —
namely, their ground attack. Nathan Huey was
the workhorse for the Colts last week, churn-
ing out 163 yards and 36 carries. Defensively,
the Colts held Hillsdale’s big-play offense in

Burlingame has the stingiest defense in the

using a ball-control, eat-the-clock attack. Last
week, both Jordan Pessah and Ilan Lesov
eclipsed the 100-yard mark rushing.
Terra Nova racked up over 400 yards of
offense against Aragon, led by QB Chris
Forbes’ 323 passing yards. The Tigers have one
of the most prolific offenses in the PAL and,
given their schedule, it could be argued their 36

and a 20-3 win over Los Gatos. The Lancers’
defense is allowing less than 10 points a game
while the offense averages three touchdowns.
Serra, once again, displayed its depth last
week. After having starting tailback Erich
Wilson miss most of the game with a shoulder
injury, fullback Alex Bravo and newcomer Eric
Redwood picked up the slack. Bravo rushed for
183 yards and Redwood went for 121 in his
varsity debut as the Padres racked up over 400
yards on the ground.
King’s Academy (0-1, 3-2) at Sacred
Heart Prep (0-1,4-1),Saturday,2:30 p.m.

The Bearcats became Woodside’s first vic-

Knights buried Half Moon Bay, 40-22.
San Mateo could not overcome the loss of
two of its best players and could not accom-

Mateo to only 129 yards of total offense,

Bearcats have already played a spread team,
Terra Nova, that shredded them a couple

Menlo’s run-and-shoot attack.
Menlo was firing on all cylinders last week

propensity for M-A kicker Sam Falkenhagen

Continued from page 13
The Yankees, who haven’t played since wrap-
ping up a three-game sweep over Minnesota on
Saturday night, have a nine-game postseason
winning streak against Texas. New York knocked
the Rangers out of the playoffs in their only three
previous appearances between 1996 and ’99.
“You do worry about not playing for six days,”
said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who celebrat-
ed his 46th birthday Thursday. “Hopefully, they
won’t be rusty and they will come out and the
rest actually did them good.”
This is the first time the Rangers open a post-
season series at home. They still have never won
a playoff game at Rangers Ballpark, going 0-6
including the two losses last weekend to the
Rays.
Lee won both of his World Series starts for
Philadelphia last year, including a six-hitter at
Yankee Stadium when he struck out 10 and gave
up only an unearned run. New York won the
other four games.
The Yankees avoid facing Lee twice only if
this series ends in fewer than seven games. Lee is
6-1 in his last eight starts against them, postsea-
son included, going 4-0 with a 1.16 ERA and
two complete games in his past four starts in
New York.
For Game 1 of this series, Lee’s biggest impact

Game 1 against San Francisco is Saturday
night at Citizens Bank Park. It’ll be a marquee
matchup featuring Roy Halladay and Tim
Lincecum going head-to-head on the mound.
The Giants are newcomers to the postseason.
They clinched the NL West on the last day of the
regular season to snap a six-year playoff drought,
and eliminated the injury-depleted Braves in four
one-run games to advance past the first round.
Now that they’re here, the Giants won’t be sat-
isfied unless they win. They appreciate how good
Parker has scored over 140 goals this season.
The Wildcats, however, showed they are not a
one-woman team. Megan Bordy and Emma
Adams each had three goals, while Natasha Kafai
added a pair. Adams led the team with four assists,
while Bordy, Kafai, Lauren Arshakuni and Andrea
Carranza added two assists each.
Parker said the team has spent a lot of time this
season getting everyone else involved in the
offense, so they don’t have to rely on her exclu-

knowing in the back of your mind that they’re a

though. They had a tough time scoring runs
throughout the year at one point. It’s going to be
a dog fight. Both teams have really good pitching

Woodside’s dominance this season is a 180-
degree turn from last season. Playing in the Bay

bullpen his rookie season, he had a 2.73 ERA
and Texas continued to utilize him as a reliever,
even opening the 2008 season with him as the
closer.
Nick Swisher saw Wilson as a reliever plenty
when he was in the AL West with Oakland.
Swisher said the big difference now is the left-
hander is “more of a pitcher instead of a throw-
er” and is using his off-speed pitches.
“The ball’s moving a lot more. He’s throwing
the cutter, the two-seamer,” Swisher said.
“Before it was just grip it and rip it. ... He’s real-
ly, really learned a lot through the maturation
process.”
Wilson always wanted to be a starter again,
and the Rangers gave the crafty and insightful
lefty that chance during spring training this sea-
son.
“What he’s done this year is really impres-
sive,” teammate Michael Young said.
Wilson pitched 204 innings and his 15 wins
were the most on the staff. He held left-handed
batters to a major league-low .176 slugging per-
centage.
“He’s always had great stuff,” Yankees short-
stop Derek Jeter said. “The difference now is his
confidence.”
While Wilson’s record and ERA were virtual-
ly identically in 17 starts before and 16 after Lee
arrived, his strikeouts increased, his walks
decreased and, more importantly, the former
reliever didn’t fade down the stretch as the

been there before is incredible. It makes for a
pretty special group.”
Hillsdale, for its part, did its best to hang with
the Wildcats. There was one area of the game in
which the Knights performed better than
Woodside — on the man advantage. Hillsdale
was 3 for 3 in 6-on-5 situations. Woodside, on the
other hand, converted only 2 of 4 chances.
“We work on it a lot,” Hodzic said. “In that case,
you can see the patience and passing until some-
one is wide open.”
The Knights were led by Amanda Chinn, who
scored three goals. Rafello Freesia, Katie Bratt and
Mary Kathryn Souther each tallied one goal
apiece.

DAILY JOURNAL
SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
Are we random visitors in an uncar-
ing universe? Is there a loving God
who is concerned about us? Or is the
truth somewhere in between? As
strangers brought together by an act of
desperation, veteran actors Carl Lumbly
(Alias, Cagney and Lacey) and Charles
Dean (White Christmas, Awake and
Sing!) verbally slug it out as they look
for an answer in The Sunset Limited by
Cormac McCarthy (The Road, No
Country for Old Men), SF Playhouse’s
intense season opening production. Bill
English’s stripped to the studs tenement
apartment set creates a cage in which the
two relentlessly spar, going for the
philosophical knockout punch. 100 min-
utes without intermission. Directed by
Bill English. Through Nov. 6.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
SF Playhouse is at 533 Sutter St.
(between Mason and Powell streets),
two blocks from Union Square. Enter
the doorway set between shops and
restaurants, walk to the end of the hall
and go up one flight of stairs to the cozy
lobby. The 100-seat theater keeps the
audience close to the action. A snack bar
is open before the show and at intermis-
sion. The Powell/Market BART is five
blocks away. Park around the corner at
Propark, 520 Mason St. ($15 if you
show your SF Playhouse ticket), or at
Sutter/Stockton Garage (two blocks).
TICKETS:
$30 - $45. For information, call (415)
677-9596 or visit www.sfplayhouse.org.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
AN ASIDE:
Director English said, “What is behind
our existence? What is the reason, if any,
for living? Cormac McCarthy has put
these two brilliant spokesmen in the ring
and taken their gloves off. And as we
watch them battle eloquently for the
deist and the atheist view, we find our-
selves drawn into these bottomless ques-
tions. Who is right? Who is wrong? How
can we decide?”
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?:
When he decided to sell it in 2009,
Author McCarthy’s Olivetti typewriter
had been in his care for 46 years, since
he picked it up used for $50 from a
pawnshop. The auction house estimated
it would fetch between $15,000 and
$20,000; it sold for $254,500. The rare-
book dealer who handled the sale for
McCarthy said, “When I grasped that
some of the most complex, almost other-
worldly fiction of the postwar era was
composed on such a simple, functional,
frail-looking machine, it conferred a sort
of talismanic quality to Cormac’s type-
writer. It’s as if Mount Rushmore was
carved with a Swiss Army knife.”
SF PLAYHOUSE COMING
ATTRACTION:
Coraline. A musical like no other.
Based on the 2002 multi-award-winning
fantasy/horror novella by British author
Neil Gaiman. Poor bored Coraline.
She’s left alone to rattle around her
workaholic parents’ house. Late one
night her dreams of a better reality
appear to come true as she finds a door
that lets her into a perfect replica of her
own world, complete with a vastly lov-
ing Other Mother and kindly Other
Father. But as the rats begin to creep
from the floorboards, Coraline begins to
suspect that all is not as perfect as it
seems. Nov. 16 to Jan. 15.
SCENE AROUND:
Susie Butler Sings Sarah Vaughn: the
Glamorous Years. Songs from the 1950’s
and ‘60s include Misty, The Shadow of
your Smile and Day In, Day Out.

EXIT Café, 156 Eddy St. Tickets $15 to

Dancing with the Stars’ champion and
Bay Area native Cheryl Burke returns to
San Francisco with Luis Bravo’s Forever
Tango. Through music, dance and
vignettes, the production traces the

nings in turn-of-the-century Buenos
Aires bordellos to its acceptance into
high society. Dec. 21 to Jan. 9, 2011.

’Green’burials require no coffins or chemicals
By Manuel Valdes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOLDENDALE, Wash. — Steve Sall
moved forward on uneven, rocky terrain in his
motorized wheelchair and came to a stop at
the edge of a sweeping vista of ponderosa
pines and bright pockets of yellow wildflow-
ers.
Before being stricken three years ago with
Lou Gehrig’s disease, the 61-year-old Oregon
resident who was an avid hiker would have
backpacked this canyon. Instead, he was there
to pick out his grave site.
Three months later, Sall was laid to rest in
the forest.
He would be among the small but growing
number of Americans choosing environmen-
tally friendly burials. The so-called “green
burials” are a departure from the norm in that
they don’t use concrete vaults, metal coffins
or any chemicals.

if the worked-up insects are swarming around
us, too. Weiner baseball, which is exactly
what it sounds like, is good for a laugh
because it’s presented in artful slow motion
(and man, is there a lot of penis in this movie).
But more often than not, this third install-
ment in the franchise, directed as always by
Jeff Tremaine, doesn’t take full advantage of
its visual potential. A Jet-Ski stunt Knoxville
performs in a swimming pool, which is fea-
tured prominently in the trailers, is a bit of a

than 300 approved providers in 40 states,
while only a dozen existed as recently as the
beginning of 2008.
And a March 2010 survey commissioned by
the International Cemetery, Cremation and
Funeral Association found a quarter of those
polled liked the concept of environmentally
friendly burials.
“We think of this as a new idea, but this is
really an ancient idea we’re returning to,” said
Joe Sehee, executive director of the New
Mexico-based council.
A burial in the wilderness was especially
appealing to Sall after spending so much of
his life hiking mountains and forests across
the Pacific Northwest. He was also heavily
cles, wheelbarrows, you name it. It’s their
bread and butter — you’ve seen it countless
times before.
Similarly, a lot of what goes on here is the
typical let’s-see-what-happens silliness. Bam
Margera has super-sticky glue squirted on his
hands, places them on a couple of heavyset
guys’ hairy chests (one of whom is his father,
a frequent target of the group’s pranks and a
good sport) and then does a little makeshift
waxing. Knoxville (dressed in a Santa Claus
suit) and another guy (dressed as an elf) climb
a 40-foot tree in the snow, only to have it
chopped down and go tumbling to the ground
with it.
Of course, there is the scatological humor
such as the pee-cam, which essentially con-
sists of a guy sneaking up on people and uri-
nating on them with the camera at crotch
level. The “Poo Cocktail Supreme,” as it’s
called, features Steve-O in a portable toilet
full of feces, being tossed into the air repeat-

often accompanying the troop on nature

As Lou Gehrig’s disease advanced earlier
this year, Sall knew it was time to consider
end-of-life logistics. He thought about crema-
tion, but didn’t like the idea of pumping gases
into the atmosphere, said his son, David.
Sall began researching green burials on the
Internet, eventually finding the website for the
White Eagle Memorial Preserve, a natural
burial grounds about 15 miles from the small
town of Goldendale.
For a few moments in June, Sall was out-
doors again, the forest before him. From his
wheelchair, he spotted a ponderosa pine he
liked with a surrounding meadow and his

heart was set.
Sall communicated by pointing a pencil to a
laminated piece of paper with a grid full of
letters and conjunctions. His wife and son had
become practiced at translating his thoughts
over the course of his debilitating illness.
“I have been a hiker and a climber, as we
drove in I felt very comfortable, like going
home,” he said, communicating through his
wife.
The Salls bought two plots — one for Steve
and one for his wife Teri — for about $4,800.
Steve Sall died in September.
“I know that Steve loves nature so much,”
Teri Sall said at the time of picking his plot.
“Having him rest somewhere in a place that
he loves more than, you know, a cemetery
that’s kind of sterile and has sad things asso-
ciated with it, just seemed like the thing to

Five” gag off the top — a giant hand on
garage-door springs that whaps people to the
floor as they’re walking around a corner — is
funny every time, especially when Margera
gets it with big bags of flour attached. Getting
reactions out of strangers always works: In the
most effective example, Knoxville — wearing
old-man makeup that makes him look like Ted
Turner — makes out in public with a much
younger girl who’s supposed to be his 19-
year-old granddaughter.
The jokes they play involving animals are
always hard to watch, though, because you
feel so bad for these creatures. Some idiot is
invading their pen or whatever just for a
laugh, but the ram — or dog, or pig, or don-
key — always wins in the end with a swift and
powerful kick or head-butt.
So maybe “Jackass” is about something
after all. Maybe it’s a cautionary tale, an age-
old parable about man vs. nature. Or not.

Love cheesecake? Lighten it up
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A love of cheesecake is easily soured
when you look at what goes into it.
Many versions have 30 or even 40
grams of fat per slice and can call for a
pound of full-fat cream cheese in addi-
tion to sour cream, half a dozen egg
yolks and half a stick of butter, or more,
in the crust.
Fortunately, it is possible to make a
healthier — yet still satisfying —
cheesecake. It’s just a matter of choosing
the right ingredients.
This cafe mocha cheesecake is rich
and velvety, yet has just two-thirds of the
fat and half the calories of traditionally-
made versions.
To lighten up the filling, full-fat cream
cheese is swapped out for a mixture of
pressed and pureed nonfat cottage
cheese and reduced-fat Neufchatel
cream cheese. An additional hit of
creaminess comes from reduced-fat sour
cream.
For a rich, chocolaty flavor, cocoa
powder is used instead of semi-sweet
chocolate. Cocoa powder contains only
a small fraction of the fat of chocolate.
Instant espresso powder and coffee
liqueur, such as Kahlua, are added to
enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
Finally, a light crust is made (without
all the butter) by simply coating the bot-
tom and sides of the pan with crushed
chocolate wafer cookies. If you like, you
could use plain or chocolate graham
crackers instead.

Peter Morgan, whose previous screenplays
include the crisp, incisive political profiles
“Frost/Nixon,” “The Queen” and “The Last
King of Scotland.” Morgan says the sudden,
violent death of a close friend inspired him,
and his writing here is more somber, contem-

are toiling within their individual states of
loneliness in three different countries, even
though they’re seeking or making connections
to another realm.
When their paths ultimately cross — as you
know they surely must — it doesn’t have quite

Now that he is 80, how old does he feel?

psychological toll of learning so much per-

Now he lives in a small, tidy apartment

him that it’s his duty — and of great poten-
tial financial benefit — to share his gift. But
trying to establish even regular relationships
remains difficult, as he finds when he takes
a cooking class and enjoys a brief flirtation
with a fellow student (Bryce Dallas
Howard).
In Paris, TV news anchor Marie Lelay
(Cecile de France) is still recovering from
having survived the tsunami at the film’s start.
She had been vacationing with her boyfriend

ducer, when the massive waves hit the coast.
She’d also been at the top of her game profes-

“Physically, I don’t know if can run as hard

winner for best picture and director, and how
each day he and collaborators would do dips

Meanwhile, in London, young Marcus loses

and efficiently.
That’s part of the secret of his decades-long
affiliation with Warner Bros., where executives
have signed off on story angles that don’t

picture nominee “Mystic River” — knowing
that Eastwood would bring them an interesting
film at a reasonable price, often under budget
and ahead of schedule.
Though Eastwood’s collaborators say he
will shoot 10 takes of a scene when needed,
he’s often content doing a couple of takes and
moving on.
That efficiency is necessary given the multi-
tasking Eastwood does as director and produc-
er, often composing his own musical scores as
he does on “Hereafter,” still occasionally act-
ing as he did on 2008’s “Gran Torino.”
And it’s what allows him to pound out as
many quality films as he does. “Hereafter” is

years, a stretch that included two World War II
epics — “Flags of Our Fathers” and best-pic-

Frankie McLaren at different times, an
intriguing choice.) The twins had grown up
poor with an absent, alcoholic mother, leaving
only each other to rely on; add to that the fact
that Jason, the older brother by 12 minutes,
was the smarter and stronger one. Marcus now
struggles to navigate the world on his own but
finds himself drawn to psychics in hopes of
receiving guidance from his brother one last
time.
Eastwood weaves between these disparate
yet intrinsically connected story lines smooth-
ly and without hurry. The pacing may feel a
bit too languid, but it allows us to get to know
these characters by observing who they are as
opposed to what they do. Even if you have no
spiritual inclinations about any sort of after-
life, “Hereafter” refrains from being too
preachy or heavy-handed; it’s never alienat-
ing.
Meanwhile, Eastwood’s score for the film,
which he injects sparingly, is probably the
prettiest he’s ever written, with its mixture of
jazz and melancholy. It’s another example of
how he’s taken his signature style and

“The way to be 80 years old and still be
cranking the way he does is all about manag-
ing his energy,” said “Hereafter” star Matt
Damon, who earned a supporting-actor Oscar
nomination for Eastwood’s “Invictus,” which
opened last December, just 10 months before
the director’s latest film.
“There really is a system, really is a deep
understanding of 60 years of doing it on both
sides of the camera,” Damon said. “To know
when to put your foot on the gas with your
crew, and to know when ... everybody rests,
recharges their battery a little bit. ... The wis-
dom that guy has about how to make movies,
it makes it really fun to work with him.”
The director’s style surprised “Hereafter”
screenwriter Peter Morgan (“The Queen,”
“Frost/Nixon”), who figured that once
Eastwood signed on, they would spend a lot of
time polishing loose ends in the script.
Instead, Eastwood shot the film as written,
saying it was open-ended enough that viewers
could “bring 50 percent of themselves to the
movie. They’re meeting the filmmaker
halfway there,” said Morgan.

Eastwood on Eastwood: His six favorite movies

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — We’ve let
Clint Eastwood take over the Five
Most space this week because ...
well, because he’s Clint
Eastwood. What are you gonna
do, say no to the man?
Actually, Eastwood was kind
enough to take a few moments to
select his five favorite movies
from the dozens he’s directed; his
latest, “Hereafter,” opens this
weekend. But because we’re feel-
ing so charitable, we let him pick
six, listed below alphabetically
along with his comments and
insights:
“Bird” (1988), Eastwood’s
biopic on jazz legend Charlie
Parker: It was a nice story about
someone whose musicianship I
admired so greatly. It was a good
script on the analysis of the self-
destructiveness of personality:
people who insist on sinking into
the abyss. Success, being idolized
by other musicians — none of it
was enough.
“Letters From Iwo Jima”
(2006), one of two World War II
films Eastwood released that year:
I was proud of “Letters from Iwo
Jima.” I got the idea of doing it
while doing “Flags of Our
Fathers,” which is about the
American invasion of the island.
But the film pointed out what it
must have been like to have been
one of the defenders of the island
— to have been there, and been
told not to plan on returning
home. What a difficult request to
make of people. Also, the
Japanese soldiers were facing cer-
tain annihilation. They never gave
up hope. A lot of them would have
loved to have been out of the war
and home, just like soldiers from
any nation.
“Million Dollar Baby” (2004),
starring Hilary Swank as a boxer
and Eastwood as her reluctant
trainer: It appealed to me because
it was a story regarding family —
a search for the daughter he never
had a relationship with, and the
search for the father that was no
longer there for her. They were
both sort of reticent, and ended up
putting themselves through the
most emotional test possible, end-
ing with her desire to be eutha-
nized.
“Mystic River” (2003), about
childhood friends reunited by
tragedy in an insular part of
Boston: I liked the book and the
screenplay by Brian Helgeland.
The way sometimes fate deals a
bad hand, and it just keeps getting
worse and worse, and there is
nothing anyone can do. No
amount of sane advice can stop
the train.
“The Outlaw Josey Wales”
(1976), starring Eastwood as a
Missouri farmer out for revenge
after the Civil War: It was the first
Western I had done in some time
since the 1960s Leone movies. It
came out in the ’70s when the
country was restless about
Vietnam. It addressed the divisive-
ness of war, and how it can tear at
heart and soul. But it also dealt
with the rejuvenation of a cynic,
re-instilling his life with purpose,
and with a surrogate family.
“Unforgiven” (1992), with
Eastwood as a retired gunslinger
taking on one last job: I loved the
“Unforgiven” script. You had to
get a ways into it before you knew
who was the protagonist and who
was the antagonist. Even the vil-
lains, with the exceptions of
the renegade cowboys,
had good points to
t h e i r
character, and had
dreams. Little Bill (played
by Gene Hackman) just
wanted a peaceful life.
He believed he was
doing the right thing.
The film dealt with
issues — gun control,
and the struggles people
have “within.” The hero went
against instinct. It was a very
rich story, involving loyalty to
friends, family and rationaliz-
ing deeds. It was a very intel-
ligent script.

Friday, Oct. 15, 2010
The upcoming year could be one where your talents and luck
blend in a manner that can guarantee success, especially
where your career is concerned. Give Dame Fortune a bit of
help and watch what happens once you get started.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It will be no surprise that your
leadership qualities are seeking expression, just be sure to do
so in a manner that ingratiates you to others. Done right, it’ll
be hail to the chief.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Although you might be anx-
ious to get a start on the weekend festivities, you’ll first need
to finalize matters and tie things down, which you can do
through your natural-born tenacity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - If someone with whom
you have lost touch is on your mind, try to reopen lines of
communication once again. Something this person is involved
in would be perfect for you right now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You could be luckier than
usual in areas that can enhance your financial wherewithal
and security. It would be a shame to waste your time on
endeavors that yield no profit or growth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Be self-reliant, because you
could be particularly fortunate by putting your imprint on situ-
ations that are personally important. Don’t let others do what
you can perform better.
of solitude to sort out all your thoughts would do you a world
of good.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Plan to engage in some kind
of activity with friends who challenge your creativity and
resourcefulness. You need to be mentally aroused as well as
physically stimulated.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Something great you did a long
time ago, which you thought was totally forgotten, might be
brought to light once again. Be gracious in how you handle
this, keeping in mind it was in the past.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Grasping the essence of a new
idea or concept before anybody else does will give you a
competitive edge over your peers. Be sure to implement it the
moment you recognize it for what it is.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Changes you’ve needed to
make but were unable to implement until now can bring
about something that everybody else has been trying to get
their hands on. Use your edge wisely.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Being the big dog isn’t as important
to you as being able to please your companions and make
them feel special. It’s this attitude that makes you so popular
among your peers, and it will continue to do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Others might be looking for
enjoyment and gratification in frivolous activities, but you will Sudoku
still be keeping your nose to the grindstone. Don’t look up

the state Senate earlier this year. AB 1198
would have created a statewide ban on single-
use bags beginning in 2012 for supermarkets
and pharmacies and in 2013 for liquor and
convenience stores.
With South San Francisco’s voluntary pro-
gram, consumers will have a choice to buy a
bag, decline bags or bring their own bag.
Staff will decide what the cost of a single-
use bag should be and the council will ulti-
mately have to approve it. The cost could be
25 cents to 50 cents, Matsumoto said.
Businesses would get to keep the bag fees, she
said.
“The fee is not meant to hurt businesses,”
she said.
South San Francisco also banned styrofoam
in 2007.
“Other cities followed us when we banned
with plastic bags,” Matsumoto said.
If the voluntary program does not work,
Matsumoto said the city would consider
stronger actions.
Councilman Kevin Mullin called the volun-
tary program a “solid first step.”
The move will “reduce the use of plastic
bags without putting our local retailers at a
competitive disadvantage or triggering a law-
suit,” Mullin said.
An outright ban in the future may be con-
sidered by the city, Mullin said.
While no San Mateo County city has such a
ban, Palo Alto adopted an ordinance prohibit-
ing plastic bags at grocery stores in 2009. It
did so in conjunction with a mitigated nega-
tive declaration and was promptly sued by the
Coalition to Support Plastic Bag Recycling, a
group of plastic grocery bag manufacturers
and recyclers based in Sacramento, claiming
it did not meet the requirements under the
California Environmental Quality Act. The
suit has since been settled and now seven
patch services with Daly City and Pacifica.
Daly City has a floor vacant in a building
near City Hall that could house the services.
Pacifica has preliminarily secured a $300,000
federal grant to cover part of the equipment
costs. Now the cities need to determine if the
site is safe, can be expanded should other
cities want to share services and write up the
legal agreement to create the North County
Communications Joint Powers Authority.
Each city is estimated to put in $20,000, for a
total of $60,000, to cover the costs of the final
steps.
The Daly City Council approved the pay-
ment Monday. Pacifica will take up the issue
during its Oct. 25 meeting.

many, he said.

CIRCUS
Continued from page 1
to Redwood City, a place that has particular
meaning for Zoppé.
Last year, Zoppé welcomed his son Julien at
Sequoia Hospital while performing in
Redwood City. The now-1-year-old inspired
the name of this year’s show, The Seventh
Generation, and his proud father said he will
even make an appearance — if he’s not nap-
ping, that is.
The littlest Zoppé — Giovanni Julien
Veneto Zoppé, to be exact — is the latest in a
long line of Zoppés that include Alberto
Zoppé, the family patriarch who appeared in
the Oscar-winning film “The Greatest Show
on Earth.” While Julien may not be quite
ready for his celluloid close-up, he is “quite
the little artist” and does “some little things”
like standing on his father’s hands.
Zoppé’s 7-year-old daughter is also a per-
former though she is currently in school in
Chicago. The trapeze is a game for her, hang-
ing six feet above the ground without the fear
that inhibits many adults.
This love of performing is in the blood,
Zoppé said, which explains why after a two-
week stint once working a 9-to-5 job, he quit
and returned to the family business.
For the Zoppés, even the animals are fami-
ly. The dancing dogs and majestic horses used
in the show are family pets, often rescued
from shelters.
That’s not to say there isn’t new blood, too.
Zoppé always tries including artists who
chose the circus rather than having it chosen
for them by birth.
“If you’re born and raised in it, it’s part of
who you are. You just do it. But if you don’t
come from the business, you study to learn it
so you almost knew it better,” Zoppé said.
Although the circus is more fun than regu-
lar work for Zoppé, there is still an element of
danger. After plummeting head first from a
trapeze in 1990, Zoppé spent four days in a
coma and had to rehabilitate before returning
to the ring.
“I was just showing off,” Zoppé shrugs off
the experience. “I thought I was Superman.”
At 46 years old, Zoppé may see himself less
as a superhero and more as simply Nino, the
character he plays in the show.
Unlike what many Americans think of as
the circus — a series of disjointed perform-
ances by jugglers, clowns, elephants and the
like — the Zoppé act is more of a visual nar-
rative and nearly every show is improvisation-
al and different. The audience is just as impor-

tant to how the show unfolds as the troupe
members, Zoppé said.
“Here, there is a reason why things happen.
There’s a reason for the jugglers. You will see
a quadruple somersault but you’ll also get
emotion. You’ll see how to feel sorry for a
clown that gets his horn taken away from
him,” Zoppé said.
Those used to a more commercial circus
may be surprised at the lesser number of ani-
mals used; historically, a circus didn’t use that
Even those returning will see some new
tricks, not to mention a new tent. After 14
years using an oval tent that stood 22-feet
high, Zoppé replaced it with a 60-foot-by-90-
foot round tent standing 36-feet high. When
the company first got the tent, they needed
three and a half weeks to set it up. Now, they
have the process down to four days and spent
the better part of this week squeezing it into
the space next to the Redwood City Library.
Zoppé wasn’t sure at first if it would fit, but
somehow it works, he said.
“It’s going to be so beautiful,” he said.
The circus runs through Oct. 24, then it’s on
to another town and another until its season
ends in January. Zoppé expects returning next
year, not only because Redwood City is his
son’s birthplace but also because he finds
something magical about bringing his home
— the circus — to the town.
In return, he hopes to see a mixture of new
and familiar faces discovering the joy of a tra-
ditional Italian family circus.
“You can’t go to Las Vegas and see our
show,” he said.
