Just weeks before the coastsides renowned pumpkin season gets into full boom, a farm that draws visitors with its train and hay maze as much as its gourds is worried county ofcials wont renew its permit and leave future visitors without the seasonal staple.

ple, the little kids who grew up before our eyes, who wont have a place to come to, said Chris Gounalakis who owns and operators Aratas Pumpkin Farm about four miles south of Half Moon Bay. Aratas Farm sits on a little more than eight acres on Verde Road to the east of Cabrillo Highway and bordered by Lobitos Creek. Of that, 2.94 acres is under agricultural production and the remainder includes a home, three barns and covered sales building.
The real draw, though, are attractions a little less pumpkin-based: a hay maze, a coliseum made out of hay bales for sword-ghting duels, a haunted barn, a petting zoo, pony rides and a train for rides. And dont forget the large metal gorilla sculpture. The colorful mix led some neighbors earlier this year to complain about a carnival-like atmosphere which began Gounalakis effort to get the countys permission and keep running the operation he said

On Tuesday, Gounalakis is putting his faith in the Board of Supervisors and perhaps some of those faithful visitors who can attend the meeting at which his agricultural and development permits are up for discussion.

tracing the trail of the terrorist attacks, proudly declaring that the decade since has proven America does not give in to fear. At ground zero, Obama stood in solidarity with President George W. Bush right where hijacked airliners smashed into the twin World Trade Center towers in 2001. He touched the names of those etched into a bronze memorial amid the rush of its striking waterfalls. In a field in western Pennsylvania, Obama strolled along a marbled Wall of Names that stands in tribute to the 40 people who crashed in Shanksville after ghting back against the terrorists. Obama seemed to shake the hand of every person he could reach.

Working collaboratively during tough nancial times is the key to maintaining excellent programs, according to four candidates hoping to serve on the Hillsborough City Elementary School District Board of Trustees. The four hoping to serve board President Greg Dannis, Steven Gans, Margi Power and Michael Forbes visited the Daily Journal ofce last week to chat during one of two endorsement interview meetings. Financially, Hillsborough has been in a better position than most districts. In recent years, even it has needed to make cuts and dip into its reserves. To maintain and even enhance services during tough nancial times, candidates pointed to working together as a community while continuing to research new opportunities. Across the board, candidates named the budget as the biggest issue facing the district. Gans doesnt disagree with dipping into the reserves this year, but noted that makes future decisions about the budget much more important. He would like to see the district examine opportunities to overhaul programs like recreation to create more activities with a goal of being at least cash neutral. Power was happy with the strategic planning process that has started to address the budget in a way thats inclusive of the points of view from the community. Dannis described the budget as a delicate dance with the biggest challenge being preserving the districts excellent programs. Forbes agreed but added things look good nancially at the present. When it comes to truly balancing the budget, there were various ideas. Forbes noted some of the administrative costs for the district schools were higher than average. He wanted to see those reviewed. Dannis disagreed saying the district should focus on providing a quality service. We pay quality people a good salary to provide services, he said adding that quality

lizabeth Mills Reid was the daughter of Darius Ogden Mills, 49er pioneer that became the millionaire banker that started the Bank of California. Elizabeth developed a sense of public duty that was to revolutionize the health care system of San Mateo County. She married Whitlaw Reid, newspaper man and ambassador to Paris. While living in New York, she became interested in the Red Cross work. Her interest resulted in establishing many nurse training facilities and hospitals, including the Mills Memorial Hospital in San Mateo. The area around San Mateo Creek attracted a community that was to establish the city of San Mateo. It had fertile soil and a supply of fresh water so they developed the land for crops for Mission Dolores and, in the in the 1790s, the church built a hospice to the north of the San Mateo Creek. After the granary was abandoned in the mid-1800s, Nicholas De Peyster squatted on the property until he was kicked off by owner Mr. Howard. DePeyster moved across El Camino Real, purchased land south of the creek and built the roadhouse, the San Mateo House, at the corner of Second Avenue and El Camino Real. Later, the son-in-law of Ansel Easton, Edward Taylor, purchased the land and lived there. North of Taylors home, in 1864, the George Howard family donated land (two acres) north of the creek for a church, the Saint Matthews Episcopal Church. The church was completed in 1866 and this first stone church in California became the place to worship for many of the areas rich and inuential, such as D.O. Mills, the Howards, Tilton, Dows, Goodhue and Taylor families, etc. The Mills family had been very active in the funding and erection of the church and the family continued to use the church as a place of worship whenever they returned to the West Coast during their winter vacations.

Daughter Elizabeth Mills Reid now lived on the East Coast with her husband Whitelaw Reid, who had been an American diplomat to Great Britain as well as editor of the New York Tribune. She was very proud and interested in her hometown roots. She had been active in many charities and, while living in New York, organized the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross. Philanthropist Elisabeth Mills Reid and other individuals, Dr. W.C. Chidester and St. Matthews church Rev. Neptune Blood William Gallwey, pledged funds and help to build and operate on the churchs property an emergency medical facility. A parish nurse was to be housed in the facility also. In 1907, the building was dedicated by the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese, the Rev. William Ford Nichols. A temporary dispensary plus a room for patients, staffed by three nurses, opened in 1907. An enlarged facility with six beds opened in 1908. The head nurse and surgical nurse rotated 12-hour shifts at the facility which was named Church of St. Matthew Red Cross Guild. It had no afliation to the Red Cross though. The name was later changed to Church of St. Matthew Mills Memorial Hospital. The population of San Mateo County was approximately 12,000 and this increased to over 24,000 by 1910. There were

Ted Hannig wasnt the tallest kid growing up a fact that made him an easy target for ridicule. Being the shortest kid in the class, you tend to be bullied more than anyone else, said the 52-year-old Foster City resident. At one point, kids even teased Hannig for being Asian which he isnt, creating confusion for him as a youth. That experience is a tiny example compared to what other kids have had to go through. But, it was enough for Hannig to understand how horric bullying in larger doses would be. On Thursday, Sept. 22, Hannig will be awarded the Warren Dale Teal Teddy award for building empathy and respect in the community during the rst Anti-Bullying Program Fundraiser hosted by the Peninsula Conict Resolution Center. The start of an annual event, the dinner will help fund anti-bullying services and develop partnerships with social network services to create interactive, webbased anti-bullying and conict resolutions resources for youth, parents and community members. Hannig has a list of nonprots he supports, was asked to get involved with bullying. Since then, hes learned that the problem is even greater. People have shared stories of losing loved ones to suicide as a result of bullying both in person and online. We can make an impact with signicant change. On this issue, a little bit of effort and we can have a huge impact, said Hannig. Education is the ultimate way to address the problem, he said. Some of the bullying comes from ignorance and being young and not knowing how to handle differences and insecurities. If a young person gets really just a little bit of education and training, I think it makes a huge
A weekly look at the people who shape our community difference in how they interact with other kids, said Hannig who hoped to see the Peninsula Conict Resolution Center develop a sustainable program that could be taught to children alongside traditional academic topics. Hannig attributed his track record of community involvement to watching his parents involvement during his youth. He noted his parents both had modest means growing up and cherished helping those who were less fortunate. Hannig grew up in Redwood City before earning a bachelors degree in business management and business administration from California Polytechnic State University. He also holds a masters and legal degree from Santa Clara University. Today he owns and operates a rm of eight attorneys that cover a variety of legal areas. Hannigs personal work deals with corporate, real estate and entertainment law. Often, through the request of friends, Hannig has become involved with causes that have now become important to him. Working with adults with Down syndrome, for example, started at the request of a friend. Once I got involved I really fell in love with the people, he said. Often opportunity to help arises through the inspiration of others. Take a few years ago

Washington who attends college in the area and came to pay tribute to the dead. At the Pentagon, the Obamas took their time mingling with memorial visitors and victims family members, some of them wearing ribbons and Tshirts bearing the names and photos of their loved ones. Here, too, amid the sadness, there were smiles and laughter. Obama, who was an unknown state senator from Illinois when the hijackers struck, has called on Americans to remember and serve and to come together. Ten years later, Id say America came through this thing in a way that was consistent with our character, he told NBC News. Weve made mistakes. Some things havent happened as quickly as they needed to. But overall, we took the ght to al-Qaida, we preserved our values, we preserved our character. In the broadcast interview, Obama recalled going home after the attacks and rocking his baby daughter, Sasha. Our rst reaction was, and continues to be, just heartbreak for the families involved. The other thing that we all remember is how America came together. Capping a journey of heavy emotion, Obama said in the nighttime event in Washington that the legacy of 9/11 will be that the country took an enormous blow and emerged stronger. He said the Americans will remember that when they visit the memorials for decades to come. They will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America, he said. They will remember that we have overcome slavery and Civil War; weve overcome bread lines and fascism, recession and r i o t s , Communism and, yes, terrorism.

In the rebuilt Pentagon just outside the nations capital, the symbol of U.S. military might attacked by terrorists that day, Obama placed a wreath at a memorial where each of 184 victims is remembered. A brass quartet played a soulful rendition of Amazing Grace. And nally, back in Washington, after a day he chose to mark mainly by quiet presence, the president spoke of the pride of a nation. These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear, he said. Nor to suspicion or mistrust or sacriced values, he said. Our people still work in skyscrapers, Obama said during an evening ceremony centered on American hope and resilience. Our stadiums are still lled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. ... This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom. This was not a day centered on politics. Rancor fell away, as it always tends to do on Sept. 11. Yet this anniversary felt different. Ten years. Obamas principal role was simply to be there to be there at every site as the nation remembered the nearly 3,000 lives lost and ponder all that has transpired. On a brilliant, sun-splashed morning, Obama and his wife, Michelle, rst walked with Bush and his wife, Laura, to the new North Memorial Pool at New Yorks ground zero. All four touched the names etched in bronze and silently bowed their heads. The former president wore his anguish clearly.
HISTORY

only 16 doctors in the county in 1907 and they organized the San Mateo County Medical Society that met periodically at the hospital. By the end of 1908 the facilities at the hospital proved to be inadequate and in 1909 a new facility with a capacity of 24 patients was built after the Taylor house was purchased at the corner of 2nd and El Camino Real (parking facility now). In 1910, 300 patients were admitted to the hospital. Again plans for enlarged facilities were formed in 1911 that culminated in the three-story West Wing being built in time for an outbreak of flu. The San Mateo Creek had to be rerouted and covered over. For compensation the nurses were paid $3 for a 22 hour shift at the hospital. The population of San Mateo was approximately 6,000 in 1920 and the hospital had improved its facilities. An X-ray machine was acquired in the 1920s, the staff had increased and the emergency room was expanded. At this time, a nurse was paid $25 per week and she was expected to clean the patients room, scrub the floor as well as serve refreshments to a patients visitors. In 1928, the East Wing was built. The hospital now had capacity for 124 beds and a 28-bed maternity section.
Still, the hospital was struggling to keep itself solvent. In the mid1920s, hospital receipts were only $96,837 while operating expenses were $107,413. The typical bill for a stay at the hospital, including pharmacy and operating room, was $7.50 a day. Registered nurses were paid $5 a day with 12hour shifts in homes for $7. On April 29, 1931, Mrs. Reid died while visiting in France. Her dedicated goal of providing health care for the citizens of San Mateo County as well as the needy had succeeded. The facility of Mills Memorial Hospital changed over the years but this ultimate goal of providing health care to the multitudes is still a legacy of the Mills family in San Mateo County. In 1950, the West Wing was constructed. The total number of beds now was 151 and the population of the community was increasing. In 1947, Robert J. Koshland became the director of the Peninsula Hospital District. His task was to open a new hospital in San Mateo County. Before he left in 1963, he had opened the newest hospital in the county, Peninsula Hospital, on a site of the Mills estate in Burlingame. This addition greatly enhanced the amount of health care that could be offered to the community that supported the two hospitals.

DENVER Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago. In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people carried out rituals now as familiar as they are heartbreaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq. President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacrifice of the Civil War. Vice President Joe Biden said hope must grow from tragedy. And Jessica Rhodes talked about her niece, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggested that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner. Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends, Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero. Today we honor her by letting go of the sadness over losing her and embracing the joy of having known her. It was the 10th time the nation has paused

Family and friends of those who died on Sept.11 visit the memorial during ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center,in New York yesterday.
to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack. The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert. Ahead of the anniversary, the federal government warned those cities of a tip about a possible car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go through checkpoints. The names of the fallen 2,983 of them, including all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists set off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 echoed across a place utterly transformed. In the exact footprints of the two towers
was a stately memorial, two great, weeping waterfalls, unveiled for the first time and, at least on the first day, open only to the relatives of the victims. Around the square perimeter of each were bronze parapets, etched with names. Some of the relatives were dressed in funereal suits and others in fire department Tshirts. They traced the names with pencils and paper, and some left pictures or flowers, fitting the stems into the recessed lettering. At the south tower pool, an acre in area and 30 feet deep, Mary Dwyer, of Brooklyn, remembered her sister, Lucy Fishman, who worked for Aon Corp., an insurance company that occupied seven floors near the very top. Its the closest Ill ever get to her again, she said. One Sept. 11 relative pronounced the memorial breathtaking. An underground section and a museum wont open until next year, but for many of the families, the names were enough. It breaks me up, said David Martinez, who watched the attacks happen from his office in Manhattan, and later learned that he had lost a cousin and a brother, one in each tower. At memorial services, people talked of grief and loss and war and justice. But they also talked of moving forward. Every year it becomes more significant, Barbara Gorman said at a service for the Port Authority dead, which included 37 police officers, one of them her husband, Thomas. My kids are 25, 21, 18. They understand now. Its not so much a tragedy anymore as history, the history of our country.
PARIS An American expatriate in Paris cries over an indelible memory of sadness. Buglers play taps from Brussels to Bagram, Afghanistan. An Israeli retiree remembers her daughter: My world was destroyed. For me, every day is Sept. 11. The worlds leaders and citizens reected Sunday on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks that were directed at the United States, but claimed the lives of people from more than 90 countries.
The pain extends from New York to the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Pathmawathy Navaratnam wakes up every day and wishes good morning to the son she lost in the World Trade Center attacks. He is my sunshine. He has lived life to the fullest, but I cant accept that he is not here anymore, she said of Vijayashanker Paramsothy, a 23year-old nancial analyst. I am still living, but I am dead inside. Mostly somber commemorations stood out against pockets of protest and claims that the attacks were a
government conspiracy rather than the work of the al-Qaida terrorist network. The Taliban, which gave refuge to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden when they ruled Afghanistan, denied any role in the Sept. 11 attacks on the same day one of their suicide bombers killed ve Afghans and injured many more people, including 77 U.S. soldiers. Pope Benedict XVI, at an outdoor Mass in Ancona, Italy, prayed for victims and urged the world to resist what he called the temptation toward hatred and instead work for solidarity, justice and peace.
On a square overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris, hundreds turned out for a ceremony at two nine-story scaffolding towers erected as makeshift replicas of the twin towers with The French will never forget written on them. Children released doves in the air to symbolize peace.

WADI DINAR, Libya Revolutionary forces battled their way back into a key stronghold of Moammar Gadhafi loyalists on Sunday, seizing control of the northern half of Bani Walid and ghting supporters of the fugitive dictator in the town center, said the ghters and a resident. After a week of efforts to negotiate a peaceful surrender of Bani Walid one of the last bastions of Gadhafi loyalists anti-regime fighters launched a two-pronged assault on the town that soon dissolved into street fighting. But Gadhafi supporters have put up erce resistance, and forced former rebels to retreat Saturday amid a
barrage of rocket and mortar re. Bani Walid is one of three signicant remaining bastions of support for Gadha, along with Sirte on the Mediterranean coast and Sabha in the southern desert. Meanwhile, A convoy carrying ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhas son al-Saadi has crossed into neighboring Niger, a spokesman for Nigers government said Sunday, one of the highest-prole former regime gure to ee to the landlocked African nation. Al-Saadi, the fugitive rulers 37year-old son, entered Niger in a convoy with nine other people, said Niger Justice Minister Amadou Morou. The vehicles were traveling south toward the outpost of Agadez, where other eeing Libyan loyalists
are believed to be holed up in a hotel. I wish to announce that one of Gadhas sons al-Saadi Gadha was intercepted in the north of Al-Saadi Niger by a Gadha patrol of the Nigerien military, Morou told reporters late Sunday. The surprisingly stiff resistance has continued despite the effective end of Gadhas nearly 42-year rule on Aug. 21, when Libyan ghters swept into the capital, Tripoli. In the capital, anti-Gadha ghters captured Bouzaid Dourda, the
former head of the regimes external security service, Sunday in the Libyan capital, said Anes Sharif, a spokesman for Tripolis military council. A longtime Gadha insider, Dourda also served as prime minister in the 1990s. Libyas new leaders have arrested several former high ranking regime ofcials, although many have ed the country or remain at large, including Gadha and his one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam Gadha. Libyan ghters pushed back into the town Sunday, a day after retreating under heavy re, said ghter Sobhi Warfali. He said revolutionary forces now control the northern half of the town and were battling regime loyalists in the center. Resident Khalifa al-Talisi said
the rebels dont control the center yet, but everything from the city center to this (northern) side is liberated. Around a mile from the town center, a cluster of abandoned houses in the desert showed signs of erce ghting. The charred hulk of a car stood in front of a still-burning home that sent plumes of black smoke into the air. Single gunshots, which appeared to be from snipers, occasionally echoed across the dusty town, and the thud of mortar re shook the ground. The Gadha loyalists are throwing mortars and snipers are shooting at us from the center of the city, said Abdul-Bari al-Mitag, a 23year-old ghter returning from the front line.
KABUL, Afghanistan A powerful Taliban truck bomb that wounded 77 American soldiers and killed ve Afghans outside a combat outpost served as a reminder on Sunday that 10 years after the Sept. 11 attacks, nearly 100,000 U.S. troops are still ghting a war that shows no signs of slowing down. No U.S. troops were killed when the massive bomb loaded on a truck filled with firewood exploded Saturday night just outside the gates of Combat Outpost Sayed Abad in eastern Wardak province. NATO said a protective barrier at the entrance absorbed most of the force
of the blast, although the area outside the base was hit hard. Ofcials said the Afghans killed included a policeman and four civilians, including a 3-year-old girl. Another 17 Afghans 14 civilians and three policemen were wounded. The provincial governor said the blast was so powerful it damaged about 100 shops in the nearby Sayed Abad bazaar. Although Saturdays truck bombing occurred outside the base, the numbers of injuries it caused was signicant. Combat outposts usually house about 200 troops. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier, they had issued a statement vowing to ght
until all foreign troops leave. The radical Islamic movement, which gave shelter to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida when it ruled Afghanistan, also stressed that it had no role in the Sept. 11 attacks, and it accused the U.S. of using them as a pretext to invade the country. The Afghans have an endless stamina for a long war, the statement said. Through a countrywide uprising, the Afghans will send the Americans to the dustbin of history like they sent other empires of the past. The attack occurred just over 40 miles , or about an hours drive, from Kabul in an increasingly lawless district in a key province that controls a strategic approach to the capital.
STOCKHOLM Swedish police arrested four people on suspicion of preparing a terror attack and evacuated an arts center in the countrys second largest city, security ofcials said Sunday. The four were arrested in the west coast city of Goteborg and were suspected of plotting terrorism, security service spokeswoman Sara Kvarnstrom said. She declined to give details on the arrests and wouldnt say whether they were linked to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Kvarnstrom said Swedish security service SAPO saw no reason to raise its terror alert level, which has been at elevated since October. Our assessment is that there is no reason for public concern at the moment, she said. Swedish tabloid Expressen, citing an unnamed police source, said investigators suspect the men belong to a terror network with links to al-Qaida, and that they had acquired, or were trying to acquire, firearms, explosives and hand grenades. Security police declined to comment on the newspapers information.

chool kids dont cope well with geography, tests show. But adults shy on knowledge of our own states heartland? What is there about Californias central valley they dont understand? A lot, it would appear from those media included who call the valley nowhere, as in deriding federal support for state high-speed rail to begin with a Bakerseld-FresnoMerced link. They say its a train to nowhere. Well, lets see. For a century and a half, nowheres crops have fed and clothed (lately with Chinas help) much of the known world. For good measure, valley wines pleasure international palates. The best rival French vintages. Nowhere supports six universities awarding bachelors and higher degrees, among them the University of Californias Merced campus. College commuters are a mainstay of Amtrak valley service. Faster trains would boost their numbers. Whats next hurts but must be said. Nowhere is an unthinkingly crude term. Valley people suffer high rates of asthma and other pulmonary disorders linked to automotive and agricultural air pollution. For them, fast trains spell relief. Thats an unsung part of highspeed rails rationale: Good transportation, competitive with cars and some
Guest perspective
ights, is a sound way to address tainted air. A step-back, second-wind high-speed rail review is in order. Flexibility in confronting challenges is a hallmark wherever trains at 100-200 mph have proved their worth. Big question: Is insistence on Bay Area primacy truly the best route to a north-south rail alternative to congested air- and freeways? Airplanes also pollute, remember. Peninsula resistance to high-speed rail has mounted. Neighbors fear losses to rail corridor widening. Recently proposed blending of high-speed rail with commuter rail, using the same tracks, may stem such fears. But only as a stopgap, pending corridor tweaking for higher speeds. Grade separations, vital to speedy trains, present tough issues. San Brunos grade sep will raise rails 17 feet before they dive under Interstate 380. Humps and high speed dont blend well. While the Peninsula mulls high-speed rail, another scenario is emerging. It would have the California High-Speed Rail Authority consider, up front, extending new trackage from Merced to Sacramento. High-speed rails rst operational stage would then embrace two-
thirds of the Central Valley almost a miniature of the entire system, of real value in and of itself, but poised to spread wings. Sacramento is after all our state capital, worth more than second tier in highspeed rails vision. Making it an early destination could change minds among legislators who arent high-speed rail fans. It would boost the capitals urban stature while beneting valley travelers. What a feather in CHSRAs cap making the valley a stand-alone segment of the whole, with trains running sooner and more affordably. We have that opportunity. Sound arguments support its study, including these: Terrain north of Merced is largely non-urban and level enough for relatively rapid construction; conditions favor incrementally faster trains that could provide valley service within a few years (the incremental approach has worked well in France and Spain); CHSRA stands to benet from early train experience the valley would make a good lab. Federal Railroad Administration startup funding would put trains within striking distance of Sacramento. Its logical for Californias capital to be part of high-speed rails earliest loop.

ay-Blossom Wilkinson didnt y into the classroom via an umbrella but she often used a camel. So she told her rst graders at San Mateos Baywood Elementary School. When she was late one day, the camel had lost its way. The students were so enchanted, the camel became a daily legend. When her students asked where she lived, it was on Mudpie Lane or in a tree house. She was no ordinary teacher. Being in her rst grade was a magical experience. She made going to school exciting. And she made learning to read fun. She was an exceptional teacher. I can attest to that. Each of my three children had her for rst grade and they rank her as the best. I asked Wilkinson how some of the magic worked. Dont say its wrong to a child when they have an incorrect answer. Say, let me help you make it right. Also there were erasers for a second chance. But there were also rules. Before the children left for the day, they had to pick up 10 things from the oor. The custodians loved Mrs. W. *** May-Blossom Wilkinson will be one of three honorees at a League of Women Voters luncheon Friday, Oct. 14 at Poplar Creek in San Mateo. She is being honored for decades of contributions to the community as the teacher extraordinaire during more than 40 years in the classroom. She served 25 of those at Baywood. Its hard to believe she unked out of college twice. Wilkinson was born in Honolulu. Her parents came from China. She was the only girl in the family of four brothers. Her dad didnt believe a daughter should attend college. When she received a Mills College scholarship, her father did not want her to leave home. He nally relented and said she could attend the University of Hawaii but she had to enroll in medical school (like her brothers). She unked out twice. Then she received a scholarship to study religious education at the College of Pacic in Stockton. For the extra units she needed to graduate, she took an education class and decided this was her intended profession. Her rst job was in Berkeley. She was the rst Asian teacher to be hired and the staff was very nervous. Does this Miss Chang speak English? She assured them she did but just to make sure they had 2 rows of visitors in her classroom during the rst week of her rst year of teaching. During this period, she met Bob Wilkinson. California had recently repealed its miscegenation law which allowed them to marry in 1951 (Bob is Caucasian). Husband Bob was offered a job in Shasta. May-Blossom taught there for six years and became an educational television producer and star. When the Wilkinsons moved to San Mateo, Wilkinson joined the San Mateo elementary district as the second Asian hire. She taught at Hayward Park School before being assigned to Baywood. She started out as a second and third grade teacher so when she was assigned to rst grade she knew what was expected of her students when they moved on. She was a rm believer that physical education, music and art were central to learning and made it easier to teach. At Baywood, she started eld trips to the Fitzgerald tide pools, Hidden Villa and Chinatown. Students were required to write a book on the excursions. *** In the 1970s, Wilkinson became president of the Council of Math Science Educators of San Mateo County. She was also a board member of the California Math Council. The list of her community involvement is long. But she is best remembered as the teacher with the magic to help kids learn. Denitely a Mary Poppins. *** Interviews with Patricia Ronald and Warren Slocum, who will also be honored at the League lunch, will appear in future columns. The luncheon also will celebrate the centennial of California womens right to vote, nine years before the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. For more information on the event, call 573-9477. *** A big win for 26-year-old San Mateo High School graduate Joey Izzo, whose avante guard lm will be featured in the New York Film Festival. He will present Bare Room at Lincoln Center and take questions from the audience Oct. 8 and Oct. 9. Currently, he is a graduate student in Fine Arts in Cinema at San Francisco State University.

What can the invested money be spent on, and what would be off limits until money is made? Are there limits on executive perks and bonuses, salaries and extravagances until the upstart is on safe grounds? Have effective controls been installed to make sure that capital infused is spent wisely? With a lot of money coming in all of a sudden, it may be awfully tempting to be a bit frivolous.

NEW YORK The last time the Federal Reserve came up with a big plan to help the economy, it totaled $600 billion and touched off a 28 percent rally in the stock market. But if the Fed takes any new steps, as many people expect, it wont look anything like that. Look for small ball, not a home run. Investors are wondering what Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has up his sleeve. The economy is in danger of sliding back into recession, and the stock market has taken a hit this summer down 10 percent since Aug. 1. And Operation Twist, as Fed-watchers are already calling it, in a nod to economic history, probably will help the economy and the stock market. Just not much. At best, Goldman Sachs economists say, it may increase economic growth by 0.5 percentage point. That would help after all, the economy only grew at a 0.7 percent annual rate in the rst half of 2011.
But its a far cry from what it would take to get the economy back to full health. In decent years, the economy grows more than 3 percent. Long-term interest rates, meanwhile, probably wont come down more than 0.2 percentage point after any new Fed action. What people pay for loans on houses and cars wont fall nearly as much. And any bump for the stock market will probably be short. Michael Hanson, a senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and a former Fed economist, says many investors tell him they think the Fed is cooking up a major initiative because of the carnage in the stock market. I think theyre going to get disappointed, he says. The Feds options are limited, economists say, because its already used most of its ammo. Last fall, it launched a program to buy $600 billion in government bonds, with the goal of driving down long-term interest rates. That was the Feds second round of whats known as quantitative easing nicknamed QE2. Stocks rallied 28 percent from August 2010, when Bernanke announced the program, to April.
A Fed study credited the program with cutting long-term rates by 0.2 percentage point. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, a benchmark for lending rates throughout the economy, has dropped more than 0.5 percentage point since QE2 was announced. Doing it again, though, could raise worries among money managers about ination. Critics say the Fed is essentially printing money when buying all those bonds and more cash in the economy will eventually lead to higher prices. Just that fear can trigger ination. If money managers are fretting about ination, theyre more like to buy oil, gold and other commodities as a hedge, driving up their prices and making the cost of gas, food and other things higher for everyday people. Another worry is that a strong move by the Fed would be met with a stronger backlash from Congressional Republicans. In any case, Hanson says, buying bonds is probably not the best medicine for the economy right now. Quantitative easing works best to stop prices from falling, he says, but overall consumer prices have risen 3.6 percent over the past year.
SAN FRANCISCO Anonymous is not so anonymous anymore. The computer hackers, chat room denizens and young people who comprise the loosely afliated Internet collective have increasingly turned to questionable tactics, drawing the attention of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other federal investigators. What was once a small group of pranksters has become a potential national security threat, federal ofcials say. The FBI has carried out more than 75 raids and arrested 16 people this year in connection with illegal hacking jobs claimed by Anonymous.
Since June, the Department of Homeland Security has issued three bulletins warning cyber-security professionals of hacking successes and future threats by Anonymous and related groups, including a call to physically occupy Manhattans Wall Street on Sept. 17 in protest of various U.S. government policies. San Francisco police arrested more than 40 protesters last month during a rowdy demonstration organized by Anonymous that disrupted the evening commute. The group called for the demonstration after the Bay Area Rapid Transit system shut off it cell service in San Francisco stations to quell a planned protest over police shooting on a subway platform.
Anonymous activities increased throughout 2011 with a number of highprole attacks targeting both public and private sector entities, one of the bulletins issued last month said. Some members of the group have also called for shutting down Facebook in November over privacy issues, although other Anonymous followers are disavowing such an attack underscoring just how loosely organized the group is and how problematic it is to police. Anonymous insist they have no centralized operational leadership, which has been a signicant hurdle for government and law enforcement entities attempting to curb their actions, an Aug. 1 Homeland Security bulletin noted.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Want to create jobs? Just create a tax credit for businesses. For decades, thats how many governors and state lawmakers have approached economic development. But with budget decits collectively in the billions of dollars and unemployment rates still uncomfortably high, some state ofcials have begun to rethink whether the jobs promised from tax credits are worth the drain on state funds that could go to public schools and services. Perhaps nowhere is the tax credit tension more evident than in Missouri, where lawmakers have convened a special session to consider scaling back several existing tax credits in order to nance new tax incentives targeting a variety of business interests from Chinese cargo planes to computer data centers, high-tech companies and even the organizers of major sporting events. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon and Republican legislative leaders tout it as one of the most far-reaching job-creation packages being considered among states. But it faces opposition from some lawmakers who see it as the latest give-away of taxpayer dollars to big businesses at the expense of school children, the disabled and elderly. The battle in Missouri and several other states mirrors that in Washington, where President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders are expected to clash in coming weeks over the right mixture of tax breaks and spending to stimulate the economy without plunging the nation deeper into long-term debt. The outcome gures to play prominently in the 2012 elections as incumbents seeks to assuage voter concerns about both the economy and government spending.

breezes rolling in off Lake Michigan, the strangest thing might have been how familiar it all looked and sounded. Ten years after the attacks of 9/11, the NFL kicked off at noon here and in seven other cities with the kind of precision and showmanship it has perfected in the decade since. Yet who knew a league built on bombast could do discreet this well? A trumpeter playing Taps live in Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 crashed into a eld, was simulcast in all those stadiums. A giant
American flag was unfurled in Chicago, covering nearly the entire eld. Then Blackhawks announcer Jim Cornelison delivered a booming rendition of the national anthem, stirring enough that pregame shows in NFL markets where the local team was out of town used it as a sign off. Its impossible to say when pro football eclipsed baseball as the real national pastime, but theres no question about that now. The premium the game puts on speed and power, the weeks worth of plotting distilled into a few hours of choreo-
graphed collisions, the vicarious chills that ripple through a stadium and somehow spill over the boundaries of even the biggest TVs theres something about it Americans find irresistible, even when the most solemn of anniversaries competes for their attention. I didnt even think about it until we were walking in. Then he reminded me, said Predrag Simovic, motioning toward a friend to his right. Were both from Sarajevo.

Ted Ginn Jr. returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in a minutes span late in the fourth quarter, and the San Francisco 49ers gave Harbaugh a 33-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in his muchhyped NFL debut and renewed coaching rivalry with Carroll. Ginn ran a kickoff back 102 yards moments after the defending NFC West champion Seahawks had closed within 19-17. It was the second-longest kick return at home and fourth-longest in team history. He then scored on a 55-yard punt return. Alex Smith exhibited the poise and polish Harbaugh believed the 2005 No. 1 overall pick still had in him despite recent history, going 15 for 20 for 124 yards and running for a 1-yard TD. David Akers kicked four eld goals in his rst game with San Francisco. New Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson threw a late 55-yard touchdown pass to Harbaughs former Stanford star, Doug Baldwin, in his Seahawks debut as Matt Hasselbecks replacement.

NEW YORK Already being outplayed by Sam Stosur in the U.S. Open nal, the last thing Serena Williams needed was to lose a game for yelling during a point. Thats exactly what happened early in the second set, leading to an argument between Williams and the chair umpire, a scene less ugly than but reminiscent of the Americans tirade two years ago at the same tournament. In the end, Stosur beat Williams 6-2, 6-3 Sunday in a surprisingly lopsided upset for her rst Grand Slam title.
I think I had one of my best days, Stosur said. Im very fortunate to do it on this stage. Hitting powerful strokes from the baseline, and looking fresher Sam Stosur than the farmore-accomplished Williams right from the start, the ninth-seeded Stosur became the rst Australian woman to win a major championship since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980. Only 2-9 in tournament finals
before beating Williams, Stosur made the U.S. Open the third consecutive Grand Slam tournament with a rst-time womens major champion, after Li Na at the French Open, and Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon. She played really, really well. Shes a great player, and its good to see, Williams said. I tried my hardest and she kept hitting winners and I was, Oh my God, what am I doing? This was only the 27-year-old Stosurs third title at any tour-level event, and what a way to do it. She took advantage of Williams so-so serving and stayed steady through-
out nishing with 12 unforced errors to Williams 25 despite the bizarre events that unfolded in the second set. Indeed, the biggest victory of Stosurs career so far likely will be recalled by everyone else for Williams latest dispute with an ofcial at Flushing Meadows. Down a set and facing a break point in the rst game of the second, the 13-time major champion hit a forehand and shouted, Come on! as Stosur reached down for a backhand. Chair umpire Eva Asderaki ruled that Williams hindered
SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner won his fourth straight start, Pablo Sandoval doubled home the go-ahead run in the fth inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep. Bumgarner (11-12) struck out eight and allowed three hits in ve innings, matching the longest winning streak of his career and improving to 8-3 with a 2.73 ERA since June 26. Its probably too little too late for the defending World Series champions, who snapped a three-game losing streak and trail NL West-leading Arizona by 8 1-2 games. When San Francisco scored two runs in the fth and ve in the sixth, it marked the rst time since July 3 the Giants scored multiple runs in consecutive innings. Slumping Aubrey Huff had two hits and a bases-loaded walk in his rst start since Monday. Sandoval finished with a career-high three doubles, tying a Giants regular season record at AT&T Park. Tony Gwynn Jr. doubled in the Dodgers run but struck out with the potential tying run at second base in the sixth. Los Angeles lost for only the third time in 13 games. San Francisco had gone 18 consecutive scoreless innings until breaking through against Los Angeles starter Hiroki Kuroda, who had not lost in four previous appearances at the Giants. Sandoval drove in Jeff Keppinger for a 2-1 lead in the fth and Huff followed with an RBI single on an 0-2 pitch. In a 5-for-36 (.139) slump coming in, Huff also walked with the bases loaded against Scott Elbert during a ve-run sixth. In the second, Huff doubled leading off after initially thinking he had a home run. The ball hit the top of the fence and bounced back onto the eld, but second base umpire John Hirschbeck ruled the ball was still in play. Umpires upheld the call fol-

about what was happening on the other sideline. The two quickly shook hands afterward and called it good. It was Carroll who in 2009 met Harbaugh at mideld postgame with a Whats your deal? after Stanford ran up the score in a 55-21 rout at Southern California and even attempted a late 2-point conversion with the game out of reach. In Harbaughs rst season in 2007, the Cardinal traveled to Los Angeles as 41-point underdogs only to stun the second-ranked Trojans 24-23 and end their 35-game home winning streak. Akers kicked eld goals of 27, 24, 31 and 18 yards in an impressive rst game with the 49ers in place of the retired Joe Nedney. Jackson, Brett Favres backup in Minnesota the past two seasons, completed his rst six passes but was sacked twice in as many drives to start the game by Ray McDonald and Justin Smith and ve times total. He was 21 of 37 for 197 yards and two TDs with one interception. First downs were scarce and San Franciscos defense stingy behind defensive tackles McDonald and Smith. The 49ers were 0 for 9 on third-down conversions before Smiths 12-yard completion to Braylon Edwards early in the fourth. Edwards wound up with three catches for 27 yards in his 49ers debut.

to the sidelines after his short TD run just before halftime in which he spun into the end zone to put the 49ers up 16-0. Ginn saved the game with a huge day on special teams. This is the guy who returned kickoffs of 100 and 101 yards for touchdowns in a 30-25 win for Miami over the New York Jets on Nov. 1, 2009. With his parents, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, in the stands to cheer him in the opener, the former NFL QB was as animated as ever waving his arms, pacing the sidelines and congratulating his players at every chance. Dozens of American ags whipped in the wind off San Francisco Bay in the parking lots of sold-out Candlestick Park before the game on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11.

Their city was left in ruins after a siege that lasted for the duration of the war in Bosnia some 20 years ago. When someone suggested that the scars left by 9/11 in New York and Washington, D.C., even a decade later, might likewise be more visible than elsewhere, he didnt disagree. I noticed the security once he mentioned it, Simovic said. But I
wasnt going to turn around and go home. Its a fact of life. You show respect for the past, another friend, Stewart Mann, interjected. But you cant let it stop everyday life. The roar that accompanied the opening kickoff made that clear enough, and it only grew in volume as Chicago rolled to a 16-3 lead by halftime. Oddly, it might have peaked early in the third quarter, right after the Bears challenged a call that receiver Devin Hester was knocked out of bounds at the 1-yard line. There are no shots of the ball

With the game nearly in hand by that point Chicago won handily, 30-12 it could be that fans were just letting off steam at the end of an anxious few days. Or else, looking for a more convincing villain than the Atlanta Falcons, who werent very good in the role. Either way, by games end, nearly everyone on both sides seemed to
have something worthwhile to take away from it. It just felt like a connection with everybody in that stadium, everybody cheering because were all Americans, Atlanta veteran Tony Gonzalez said. It was just an unbelievable feeling. Something I will never forget. His rst NFL game would have been memorable enough for rookie Dane Sanzenbacher. Undrafted out of Ohio State, hes had to ght for his roster spot, to learn how to make an impact in the few plays that made up his audition. If nothing else, he thinks that preparation

ARLINGTON, Texas C.J. Wilson understood why Texas manager Ron Washington wouldnt give him a shot at his second consecutive shutout. Wilson scattered five singles over eight shutout innings, Adrian Beltre homered twice to reach 301 for his career and the AL West-leading Rangers beat Oakland 8-1 on Sunday to eliminate the Athletics from playoff contention. Wilson (16-6) struck out 11 and walked one, following up on his first career shutout an 8-0 win at Tampa Bay last Tuesday. Wilson set a career high for victories and wanted a complete game, but Washington pulled his ace after 111 pitches. Washington is trying to avoid extra stress on Wilsons left arm down the stretch, and Wilson agreed with his manager to take a
long-term approach and stay in the dugout with an 8-0 lead. He understands, Washington said. Hes the guy in our rotation whos going every fifth day. Wilson threw an assortment of pitches to a lineup that included late-season call-ups and reserves. I threw six different pitches, Wilson said. All of them were good. A high fastball, a sinker, a sidearm fastball that I used the last couple of innings, my curve and slider were good and my changeup. You cant just go out there and throw heaters; theyll figure that out. Beltre was the offensive star with four hits while Craig Gentry and Ian Kinsler added three apiece for the Rangers, who have taken 10 of their last 11 from the As this season. Beltre has seven homers in his last eight games against Oakland and 15 RBIs against the As this season.
Commenting on reaching 300 career homers, Beltre said, It means Ive been playing for a long time. Im proud of that. Its something not many guys can do. Eric Sogard homered against Koji Uehara leading off the ninth to end the shutout bid. The Rangers extended their division lead over second-place Los Angeles to 2 1/2 games when the Angels were beaten by the New York Yankees 6-5. Josh Outman (3-5) got a spot start for Oakland, replacing Rich Harden, whose turn in the rotation was pushed back to give him extra rest. Outman allowed four runs and eight hits over 4 2-3 innings. Outman, whose previous three appearances came in relief, was making his ninth start of the season, first since July 2. The Rangers broke up a scoreless game in the fifth when Gentry led off with his first career triple and Kinsler drove him in
with a single. Kinsler advanced to second on his 23rd straight stolen base, tying his club record, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Josh Hamiltons sacrifice fly. Michael Young reached on an infield single and Beltre followed with a two-run homer to left field. Beltre also doubled in the second to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. Its always a good-hitting lineup, especially in this park, no matter what nine they throw out there, Outman said. I battled through the first four innings, then in the fifth I was a little legweary. I felt like every mistake I made, they capitalized on. Beltre led off the seventh against Andrew Carignan with his 23rd homer for his 22nd career multihomer game. Later in the seventh, Gentry and Elvis Andrus had RBI singles to make it 7-0.
NOTES: Wilson fell one short of matching his career high for strikeouts. He has six games of 10 or more strikeouts this season, the most for the Rangers since Nolan Ryans six in 1991. ... Beltre is the 13th active player with 300 homers and 2,000 hits. ... The As called up OF Jai Miller from Triple-A Sacramento and had him in the starting lineup. Miller spent the season with Sacramento, batting .276 with 32 homers and 88 RBIs in 110 games. He was acquired by Oakland off waivers in April from Kansas City. ... Xrays showed no fracture in Oakland OF Coco Crisps lower leg injury. He was out of the lineup for the second consecutive day, and Crisp probably wont play in the home series against the Angels from Monday to Wednesday. ... Oakland 1B Brandon Allen is in an 0-for-18 slide. He was hitless in three atbats, all strikeouts against Wilson.
PHOENIX Nick Hundley homered and the San Diego Padres held on for a 7-6 victory Sunday that snapped the Arizona Diamondbacks franchise-record home winning streak at 15 games. Hundley, Jesus Guzman and James Darnell had two RBIs apiece for the Padres, who ended a threegame losing streak and won for just the second time in seven games.
San Diego starter Wade LeBlanc (3-5) went 5 2-3 innings and allowed four runs and four hits while snapping a personal threegame losing streak. Heath Bell, who allowed two homers in the ninth on Saturday, got three outs for his 37th save in 42 chances. Henry Blanco homered and Chris Young added a two-run double for the NL West-leading Diamondbacks. Backed by LeBlancs one-hit
pitching over the rst ve innings, San Diego built a 7-0 lead against Josh Collmenter (9-9). Darnell drove in Hundley with an RBI single in the second, then hit a sacrice y in the third. Guzman had an RBI single and Anthony Rizzo drew a bases-loaded walk in the third to put the Padres ahead 40. Hundley hit a two-run shot in the fth for his eighth homer, giving San Diego a 6-0 lead and ending
Collmenters day. Guzman added a run-scoring double in the seventh. Then the Diamondbacks made things interesting. Blanco, Arizonas regular Sunday catcher, led off the sixth with a line drive over the wall in left. Reliever Zach Duke singled to center, Gerardo Parra reached on a one-out single and Paul Goldschmidt walked to load the bases and chase LeBlanc. Chris Young hit a two-run double
to left off Erik Hamren, and Colin Cowgill brought home Goldschmidt and Young with a single to center that trimmed San Diegos lead to 7-5. The Diamondbacks pulled within one in the seventh when Blanco singled, went to second when pinchhitter Geoff Blum was hit by a pitch and scored on pinch-hitter Justin Uptons groundout. Collmenter gave up six runs and seven hits, walked three and struck out two.
ANAHEIM Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson homered, New York scored two key runs when Peter Bourjos dropped a y ball in the seventh inning, and the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 Sunday to snap a four-game skid. Derek Jeter had two hits and scored the go-ahead run for the Yankees, who moved 3 1/2 games ahead of slumping Boston in
the AL East. New York had two runners on in the seventh when Bourjos normally an outstanding elder allowed Mark Teixeiras y to deep center to simply pop out of his glove. Bourjos then missed the cutoff man with his throw, allowing Jeter to score easily from rst base on the error. Howie Kendrick and Bourjos hit two-run homers for the Angels, who dropped 2 1/2 games behind AL West-leading Texas.

The beginning of any football season brings with it a lot of questions. The one that has emerged for the Serra High School football team two weeks into their 2011 campaign is: How do you stop these guys? For the second week in a row, the Padres have taken a traditional football power, welcomed them to Freitas Field and had their student section chanting, warm up the bus, early into the fourth quarter of the game. This time, Monte Vista, led by Oregon bound quarterback Jeff Lockie, were overwhelmed by the Padres 54-13. Serra actually led 41-0, on six unanswered touchdowns, midway through the second quarter before the Mustangs found the end zone. But for all intents and purposes, the game was over before Monte Vista knew what hit them. In games like this, you're never as good as you think you are, and you're never as bad as you think you are, said Serra head coach Patrick Walsh. We need to do what we need to do in order to continue our progress regardless of who the opponent is. It just so happens that the two opponents in the early part of Serra's schedule have provided them with very little resistance. One play into their offense and Serra found the end zone, with Erich Wilson carrying the ball for his seventh touchdown of the season from 35-yards out. But unlike last week when Wilson went off and scored a school-record six times, Serra showed that it has plenty of weapons for the opposition to worry about in 2011. Moments later Joey Erdie got into the
scoring column with a 21-yard touchdown run and with 2:36 left in the first quarter, it was Wilson once again with a score from 32 yards out. With the Serra offense rolling like it was, it's easy to overlook the defense. But in Lockie, the Padres had a tough task coming into Saturday's game. And the young Padres' defense responded with an inspired performance. It's all about the preparation, said senior linebacker Brandon Bochi, the coaches got us very ready for this game. The defense was one unit out there. Everyone did their job and we came out on top. The second quarter of Saturday's game belonged to running back Eric Redwood, who was challenged by his head coach this week to have a big game. The junior responded in a big way. First, he roamed into the end zone with a 43-yard touchdown run, then with 6:45 left in the half, Redwood scored again. And a little more than two minutes after that, he made another reservation for six at the Touchdown Caf. For the afternoon, Redwood finished with 138 yards rushing on only 13 carries. And he didn't touch the ball in the second half. You know, last week Erich did his thing, scoring six touchdowns, Redwood said. This week it was up to me to show people what I can do. We knew we have another car in the garage, Walsh said, and I was pleased with him. He answered the call. The Serra offense racked up 368 yards of offense in the first half alone, and the Padres defense limited the vaunted Monte Vista attack to seven points and 135 yards. But just in case there was any doubt, or if
ond half. Lockie got his numbers late. He threw a 75-yard touchdown for a bit of a broken play in the third quarter, but was mostly ineffective throwing the football. He finished 18 of 33 for 213 yards with touchdowns and an interception - although Mustang receivers did drop five passes. Erdie rushed for 100 yards on eight carries and Wilson rushed for 80 on six.

there was any illusions of a miraculous Mustangs' comeback in the second half, the Padres' Jarod Jauregui took care of that by returning the opening kickoff 97 yards to the house to give Serra a 48-7 lead. Jauregui also had an interception late in the game as Serra showed their depth by sitting their starters for the majority of the sec-

HOUSTON The Indianapolis Colts were lost without Peyton Manning on Sunday. Matt Schaub threw for 220 yards and a touchdown, Ben Tate rushed for 116 yards and another score in relief of injured Arian Foster, and the Texans dominated Kerry Collins, Mannings replacement, in a 34-7 victory. The Texans looked like theyre nally ready to take over the AFC South. Manning, the four-time MVP, didnt travel with the team to Houston as he recovers from his third neck surgery in the past 19 months. His streak of 227 consecutive starts, including playoffs, came to an end. The 38-year-old Collins was lured out of retirement less than three weeks ago to take a crash course in the offense. He fumbled on consecutive snaps that set up Texans touchdowns in the rst quarter, and was sacked three times. The Colts mustered only 236 yards and 15 rst downs against Houstons 34 defense guided by new coordinator Wade Phillips.
Patrick Peterson returned a punt 89 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and Arizona escaped with a win. Newton, the No. 1 draft pick, completed 24 of 37 passes for 422 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, the rst rookie to throw for more than 400 yards in his NFL opener. The Panthers had rst down at the Arizona 11 late in the game, and even got an extra down on an offside call, but failed to score. Kevin Kolb was 18 of 27 for 309 yards and two touchdowns in his rst game for Arizona.

SAN DIEGO Fullback Mike Tolberts third touchdown, a 19-yard pass from Philip Rivers with 5:01 to play, lifted San Diego over Adrian Peterson and Minnesota. Rivers rolled left and waited for Tolbert to get open inside the 5-yard line, then lobbed the winning pass. Rivers completed 33 of 48 passes for 335 yards and was intercepted twice. Tolbert also scored on a 7-yard run and had a 1-yard TD catch. Peterson, who set the NFL single-game record with 296 yards against San Diego as a rookie in 2007, had 98 yards on 16 carries one day after signing a contract extension potentially worth $100 million.

Detroit to its fth consecutive victory dating to the nal month of the 2010 season. Stafford completed 24 of 33 passes, including TD throws of 36 and 1 yards to Calvin Johnson and 11 yards to Tony Schefer. The only interception he threw glanced off the hands of intended receiver Will Heller and was returned 28 yards by Aqib Talib for the only touchdown Tampa Bay managed until Josh Freeman threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Mike Williams with less than two minutes to go.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Maurice JonesDrew scored in his return from knee surgery, and Jacksonville used a awless start and some clutch plays to hang on for the win. Titans star Chris Johnson, who joined the team a little more than a week ago following a holdout, was pretty much a nonfactor. Johnson ran nine times for 24 yards and caught six passes for 25 yards. Tennessee made it close with a pair of second-half TD passes from Matt Hasselbeck to Kenny Britt. The Titans still had a shot, but Dwight Lowery intercepted Hasselbecks deep pass.

hould we get two companions or one? A classic dilemma for animal shelter visitors, especially when a pair of roommates catches their eye. Now, I know (I really know!) that caring for two young children is much more than double the effort of caring for one. If theres a typo in this column or I drift off into a stream of consciousness, thats your proof. I wont tell you how many kids to have and I wont tell you how many pets to adopt either. Ill just advise. If you see a pair of animals in a shelter and they are listed as bonded pair or something like that, it means they arrived together, they have spent signicant time together (years, in many cases) and we believe breaking them up would do harm, emotionally, to both animals. We dont toss around bonded pair lightly and its not a gimmick to increase adoptions. Dont get me wrong, Im all for gimmicks, especially when they lead to good, lasting homes for shelter animals, but we do have a line we wont cross. Our bonded pairs are the real deal. Now, if someone visits our new adoption center and says they dont have time for their one pet and want to adopt a second, we sit down with them and dig a little deeper to see if they can really handle a second pet. If they are providing a good home for their resident pet and are busy people who want to improve their pets quality of life by adding a buddy, were for it. Two dogs or two cats together if they get along should be more stimulated and occupied than one dog or one cat alone. We urge folks adopting small companions to give this serious thought as well. Rabbits, guinea pigs and rats crave the companionship of a buddy. Ideal pairings (same versus opposite sex) vary by species. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion.
LOS ANGELES Contagion infected enough moviegoers to catch the top spot at the box office. The Warner Bros. pandemic thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring an A-list cast that includes Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow coughed up $23.1 million in its first weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The films contagious opening marked the beginning of the fall movie season by exceeding the studios estimates. I think Steven Soderbergh made a compelling movie that tapped into that fear that many of us have about illnesses, viruses and pandemics, said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. general sales manager. Its like a train or car accident. You cant look away. You prefer not to think about it, but when its presented to you, you want to learn more. Despite the breakout success of Contagion, it was the lowest grossing weekend of the year so far for the film industry, according to Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. Dergarabedian said thats typical for the weekend after Labor Day and expected business to pick up in the coming weeks as the Academy Awards race begins. There are some great titles that are on the way, said Dergarabedian. I see several promising films Oscar contenders like 50/50, The Descendants and Ides of March, and even potential big moneymakers like Real Steel. The Help, the acclaimed DreamWorks Pictures drama distributed by Disney about black Southern maids speaking out during the civil-rights movement, slipped to No. 2 with $8.7 million after three straight weeks at the top, bringing its domestic total to $137 million. Warrior, the Lionsgate mixed-martial arts drama starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, punched up a $5.6 million debut in the No. 3 position. David Spitz, head of

PERMIT

run out of saliva explaining what is going on and asking the supervisors to come out and see how wholesome it is, he said. Although Gounalakis managed to get permits from the Planning Commission earlier this year on a 3-1 vote an after-the-fact remedy to having operated without the legal approvals for attractions like a giant hay maze a permanent green light is not certain. The property co-owner, Gary Arata, is appealing the temporary ban simply to extend the hours and parking restrictions. But Aratas sister and fellow owner, Lillian Arata, is asking the board to deny it all outright. Lillian Arata says she did not consent to the permit request and claims the land use is inconsistent with the countys general plan and Williamson Act agriculture requirements. Gounalakis, though, calls the claims a smokescreen for the real motive a desire to drive him off the land and reclaim it. Theyre grasping at anything, he said. Gary Aratas efforts to legalize his operation began earlier this year when the Planning Commission determined he did not have the proper permits. In July,

Online content
Power went back to collaborative community planning. By gathering input from a cross section of the community, Power believed solutions to save costs would emerge. Providing some content online, for example, could cut down costs while helping differentiate curriculum offerings, she said. In addition, Power, who previously served as co-president of the Hillsborough Schools Foundation, said the organization went through a similar process about four years ago. As a result of a strategic planning effort, the foundation has now streamlined events, increased volunteerism and raised even more for the district, she said. Gans believes part of the solution is looking at alternative revenue sources, even those that bring in small amounts. Amazon challenges, for example, gave a percentage of purchases people were already making to the schools with just a few extra clicks. Maybe its $5,000 to $25,000 a year, but that may be enough to keep one more aide, he said. Money aside, Hillsborough has continued to implement new curriculum. When asked about their favorite programs and those they would like to see, candidates pointed to programs that teach the basics.

In the next year try to develop friendships or associations with people who could help you further your ambitions. Just be careful not to do so in a manner that would cause you to be labeled a user or a manipulator.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unfortunately, you might be forced to associate with people who make you feel extremely uncomfortable. Suppress any abrasive comments and remain tactful at all times. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youve been sweeping a number of unpleasant tasks under the rug, it might
turn out to be the day of reckoning. Unfortunately, you wont be able to put off burdensome tasks any longer. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Dont fall into a trap made by someone you consider to be a friend but who is always trying to bait you into an argument about politics or religion. No one can win. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You must know that making unreasonable demands or requests on your mate or other family members will be rejected, so why go down that avenue? Dont be a troublemaker. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Waking up on the wrong side of the bed might put you in a bad mood all day long. You could even get steamed about things youve always tolerated previously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This might not be
one of your better days where money is concerned. It would be best not to take on any new financial obligations or pay out what you cant afford to lose. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Strong, unexpected opposition could be awaiting you from a nest of people who think differently than you. Keep yourself from overreacting and making things worse. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something you never promised is likely to be expected of you anyway. Rather than go into battle over it, do it if you have the time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unless you can avoid the company of those who have superior attitudes, you can expect to be bossed around a bit. However, I doubt youll stand by and take it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Those who are usually
around to pick up the pieces and/or back you up arent likely to be there for you when you need them the most. You had better be prepared to be totally self-reliant. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dont get angry and try to force compliance on those you thought were in accordance with your proposals but obviously arent. Its not their fault you were misled or that you misunderstood. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unless you can say no and mean it, youre likely to open yourself up to being pressured into doing something you dislike, by someone who has figured out how to manipulate you.
