Animals on parade
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Hundreds of pets and their owners dressed
in outrageous and fanciful costumes are
expected to take part in the seventh annual
Burlingame Pet Parade on Broadway, which
starts 10 a.m. Saturday.
Pet owners who wish to march with their
pets must report by 9:30 a.m. to the parking
lot near Broadway and Chula Vista, across
from the Wells Fargo Bank. There is no charge
to participate. However, registration is
requested for those who wish to have their
pets compete in the “Best Pet Trick” contest;
owners are asked to complete a form at the
registration desk at Broadway and Chula Vista
prior to the start of the parade.
The parade will march up Broadway to
Capuchino, where it will turn right and circle
back down Broadway. The entire parade con-
sists of a leisurely stroll that lasts about 30
minutes. A float can be a decorated bicycle,
wagon or kiddie car. No political entries are
permitted, but all types of pets are welcome.

Judge clears way JURY
for first execution
in state since 2006
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge cleared the way
Friday for California’s first execution in nearly five years, cit-
ing the state’s efforts to revise its lethal
injection procedure and a Supreme Court
ruling making it more difficult for con-
demned inmates to delay their death.
Barring successful appeals to other
courts, convicted murderer and rapist
Albert Greenwood Brown is scheduled to
die on Wednesday, after U.S. District
Court Judge Jeremy Fogel refused to block
Albert Brown the execution.
Brown failed to show “a demonstrated
risk of severe pain” as required by a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court
ruling upholding Kentucky’s lethal injection process, the
judge said in his ruling.
Brown’s execution would be the first in the state since Fogel
placed a de facto moratorium on capital punishment in
California and ordered prison officials to overhaul the process
in 2006.
The attorney general’s office told Fogel this week the state
has complied with his order by building a new death chamber
at San Quentin State Prison, revising its training regimen and
adopting new lethal injection regulations.
Fogel gave Brown the option of choosing a one-drug injec-
tion of sodium thiopental instead of a three-drug cocktail used
by the state to put condemned inmates to death.
The judge said it appeared the one-drug lethal injection was
less risky than the three-drug cocktail when it came to causing
pain.
“The fact that nine single-drug executions have been carried
out in Ohio and Washington without any apparent difficulty is
undisputed and significant,” Fogel wrote.
Molestation
case settles on
lesser charges TRASH
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Mateo man whose first trial on molestation charges
ended with three acquittals and a deadlock on the remaining
counts pleaded no contest to two counts of false imprisonment
with credit for time served.
Prosecutors had considered retrying Erwin Giovanni
Martinez, 48, but on Friday allowed him to plead no contest to
one felony and one misdemeanor count of false imprisonment.
He receives credit for time served and returns to court Nov. 19
for a restitution hearing.
In November, a jury acquitted Martinez of three counts
including assault with an intent to commit rape and dead-
locked on the remaining charges. Judge Joseph Bergeron
declared a mistrial.
Prosecutors had contended Martinez fondled twin 9-year-
old girls and their 6-year-old sister on numerous occasions
beginning in January 2008. The children were at his apartment
complex to visit Martinez’s own 18- and 9-year-old daughters.
Some of the incidents reportedly happened in his apartment
and others in the swimming pool.
Martinez pleaded not guilty.

morning as well as decisions on special
allegations about substantial sexual con-
tact and multiple victims.
While the verdicts aren’t completely
in, Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said Tarquin could very well
be looking at a life sentence.
However, after the verdicts are com-
pletely read, the jury moves to a second
phase in which it must decide if Thomas
was insane at the time. If they believe he
was mentally compromised, he will be
sent to a state mental hospital for treat-
ment.
Although incomplete, Wagstaffe
called the first batch of verdicts a great
outcome.
Prosecutor Aaron Fizgerald told jurors
Thomas repeatedly abused three boys,
including 9-year-old Oregon foster child
Dylan whom he began adopting and
whose images in graphic photographs
and videos punctuated the trial. Several
images also included Freddie, a teenager
whom Thomas met through the Boys
and Girls Club in San Francisco and

Tarquin worked for Barclays

and ran a child photography business,
with a studio in his home. After bringing
Dylan from Oregon, Fitzgerald said the
boy was abused from August 2005 until
the following November when a spank-
ing report to Child Protective Services
led to his return to Oregon. Thomas
allegedly hatched a plot to kidnap Dylan
“The conference is free. We give out
lots of materials and books and pam-
phlets. Also, there are a lot of students
who come in for research. We get lots of
that,” said Gottlieb.
California, particularly the Bay Area,
may not seem like the logical place for
such a conference. But there is a 10 per-
cent increase in attendance expected
over last year. Gottlieb noted attendance
normally spikes in election years. The
location does allow policy conversation
to be open to a wider audience, since
reaching a wider audience is part of the
Second Amendment Foundation’s hope.
Changing locations is an easy way to
invite locals into the conversation.
This weekend’s discussion will tackle
numerous topics beginning with nation-
al legislation compared to more local,
state-based work. Concealed weapons
According to data collected for the
month of July, there were 155 hours of

authorities arrested Thomas on May 27,
2007 and a search of his home turned up
the footage, a journal including the

boys.
Thomas was also charged with
molesting Blake, another teen who lived
with him because his mother could not
care for him. Blake was the only alleged
victim who testified and was not on any
of the photos or video.
During closing arguments, defense
attorney Richard Keyes told jurors to
consider that Blake didn’t disclose the
alleged molestation to authorities until
after learning about the videos. He also
asked jurors to keep their emotions in
check and question if everything they
saw met the legal definition of sodomy
or touching meant to cause arousal.

Local creeks filled with trash
San Mateo County has 33 “hot spots” where
toxic levels of plastic bags, cigarette butts,
fast-food containers and old tires pollute
creeks and shoreline areas, according to Save
the Bay.
The nonprofit agency states in a report
released Tuesday that 225 shoreline and creek
locations in the Bay Area are overrun with
trash.
Save The Bay is asking residents to vote for
one of seven hot spots the nonprofit will
“adopt” with a series of volunteer cleanups
throughout 2011, including Redwood Creek
and Colma Creek in San Mateo County.
Burlingame business district gets OK
Opposition to a proposed business improve-

merchants was not enough to stop final
approval by the City Council Monday night.
Over 200 businesses signed petitions
against the creation of the group that sought a
tiered assessment to generate $91,000 a year
to fund promotion efforts for the downtown
shopping district. Those votes fell short of the
necessary amount needed to stop the creation
of a business improvement district, known as
a BID. Annual fees would be between $100
and $625 depending on business size, location
and square footage.

GM — Greatly Manipulated
M
ore and more corpora-
tions in this country are
being allowed to have
their way with us in ways never
experienced before while beholden
politicians look the other way. As
John Carroll wrote in one of his
columns a while back: “There is no
group more powerful now — not
the government, not the voters, not
anyone.”
One of the most egregious exam-
ples of corporate power is in the
genetic modification of food. No
doubt with the experience of the
food irradiation industry in mind,
the genetic engineers have carried
on surreptitiously for some time —
as their products have increasingly
infiltrated our food supply. Where
have the FDA, the EPA and the
USDA been, you might ask? They
have been mesmerized by an indus-
try that has enjoyed carrying on
their projects largely unchecked
and uncontrolled by those govern-
ment agencies that we rely on to
protect us from just such manipula-
tion.
The latest product that the genet-
ic engineers are trying to slip by us
is genetically engineered salmon.
This is the first modified animal
allowed for human consumption in
the United States, reportedly soon
to be followed by beef, pork and
other fish. For many years, there
has been much public demand for
information about how much of our
food is produced, but little is
revealed. There isn’t even a
requirement that such products be
labeled so those who wish to can
avoid them. According to a recent
news report, convoluted industry
finagled regulations apparently pre-
vent the FDA from requiring a
San Bruno residents beware
Editor,
Lawyers from all over the coun-
try have been advertising and solic-
iting residents of San Bruno in
regards to the PG&E fire. One law
firm from Southern California on
numerous occasions has referred to
the city of San Bruno as city of San
Mateo. It shows me these lawyers
don’t know anything about San
Bruno, our county, our zip code and
they don’t know our community.
Once the retainer contract has been
signed, the residents will never see
these attorneys again. Residents of
San Bruno should hire the best
high-profile national law firm right
here in our backyard. They under-
stand our community, the people
and PG&E.

Unfair and off base
Editor,
Steve Kovalew’s “Who our tax
dollars benefit” letter to the editor in
the Sept. 18 edition of the Daily
Journal was so full of bigotry and
falsehood that it left me intensely
frustrated and angry.
The writer described all of the
mothers and children entering North
Shoreview Montessori Elementary
School each morning as an “army”
of illegal aliens in a grossly negative
way.
His incredibly ignorant prejudice
was hard enough to stomach, but
equally upsetting to me was his
utterly false accusation that all of
these mothers and children that he
‘I’ve found out that genetically
engineered products are in virtually every
bite of processed food we eat. I’ve learned that
no one, not even the most ardent defenders of
genetic engineering can say for sure how their
altered foods might affect us or our kids.’
— Robyn O’Brien,‘The Unhealthy Truth’
label on genetically modified fish
once it determines that the altered
fish is not “materially” different
from other salmon — “something
agency scientists have said is true.”
And who do we allow to determine
if there’s a difference? Guess!
The Bush administration even
tried to force acceptance of biotech
foods on the Europeans who did
not believe that such products have
been properly tested. We con-
sumers who have not swallowed
whole the industry’s self-serving
propaganda and who want these
products labeled are very skeptical
of what biotech-connected scien-
tists have reported about the safety
of their products and are especially
concerned about the long run.
Curiously, the FDA won’t even
allow conventional food makers to
label their food as being free of
genetically modified ingredients!
So who do you think is running the
show?
“The FDA simply allows
Monsanto and the other biotech
companies to decide for themselves
whether their products are ‘general-
ly recognized as safe.’ If the com-
panies decide they are, no safety
testing is required before these new
products are introduced into the
food supply.” — John Robbins,
Letters to the editor
viewed daily passing his home were
living off “Social Security tax dol-
lars.”
The facts do not support his alle-
gations even remotely. Social
Security payroll taxes are used
exclusively to pay for retirement,
disability and survivor benefits for
those who have paid into and are
insured under the program as well
as for certain eligible dependents
and Medicare. They are not welfare
payments for low-income mothers
and children who have not paid into
the system.
His complete misunderstanding of
the financing and purpose of Social
Security is his problem, but he has
no right to spew this type of false-
hood to your readers as if it were
fact in order to support his preju-
dices. You readers deserve better
and the mothers and children going
each day to school deserve an apol-
ogy, not that they are likely to ever
receive one.

Unfair characterization
of April Vargas
Editor,
In the article “Supervisor forerun-
ners ready to square off” in the
Sept. 13 edition of the Daily
Journal, Don Horsley disparages his
opponent for county supervisor,
April Vargas, with what he regards
as a rhetorical question: “Would you
turn over a $1 billion organization
to an upholsterer who works out of
her garage?”
Matt Grocott, in his Sept. 16 letter
OPINION
“Food Revolution.”
Consumers have been eating
increasing amounts of such foods
without even knowing it. For
instance, a great deal of the soy and
much of the corn grown in this
country are genetically engineered
and used freely in common prod-
ucts that we find on our grocery
shelves. And that’s just the way the
industry wants to keep it.
Furthermore, the lack of labeling
effectively prevents any attempt to
monitor the human health impact
of eating these foods. And consid-
ering the problem with obesity, ill-
nesses like diabetes and cancer and
the increase in conditions such as
ADHD and autism that cannot be
explained, do we need another vari-
able in the equation? “At present,”
Robbins said, “we can only specu-
late what adverse reactions might
already be occurring.” We are the
guinea pigs.
We’ve been hurdling down the
path of extremely serious food
finagling. It’s outrageous that our
FDA, USDA and EPA have knuck-
led under to these powerful corpo-
rate interests and see no reason to
demand caution or to allow those
of us who would much rather eat
foods that haven’t been so manipu-
lated to recognize them. In fact, the
to the editor, catches the arrogance
implicit in Horsley’s rhetorical
question in such a way as to ques-
tion Horsley’s qualification for the
job.
There are quite a number of coun-
ty residents engaged in home occu-
pations and who, as Horsley sees it,
are thereby disqualified for public
service as supervisor. Many also
serve their communities, frequently
without compensation or recogni-
tion.
Vargas actively participates on
public issues. For example, some
years ago, the question arose about
the portion of Highway 1 at Devil’s
Slide that was subject to falling into
the ocean every few years. Vargas
realized a tunnel was the best com-
promise between the environmental
and the public safety aspects, and
convinced the late congressman
Tom Lantos to support it to the tune
of many millions of federal dollars.
The tunnel will be completed next
year. It is the best solution. Yet at
the time Vargas decided to try to
obtain it, few believed it feasible.
The description of Vargas that
Horsley promotes demeans her and
all others who pursue small business
undertakings and who, when they
raise their voices on civic issues, are
criticized by those who insist rigidly
on “tried-and-true” solutions
although they do not take all impor-
tant objectives into account. To
Horsley’s “arrogance,” add “limited
vision,” for not appreciating the
value of various visions of the
future that small business persons
can bring to the resolution of public
issues.

straight week of gains, after a big
increase in orders for manufactured
goods allowed investors to shake off sev-

WASHINGTON — House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, under pressure to send
Democrats home to campaign with the
strongest possible closing argument,
said Friday she is considering calling a
vote on extending middle-class tax cuts
next week.
Democrats, however, are divided on
whether forcing a recorded vote on the
issue before congressional elections in
November would be politically helpful
as they fight to maintain control of
Congress.
“We will retain the right to proceed as
we choose,” Pelosi told reporters. “We’ll
take it one day at a time.”

By Suzanne Gamboa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Taking his
blowhard comedy act to Congress,
Stephen Colbert told lawmakers that a
day picking beans alongside illegal
immigrants convinced him that farm
work is “really, really hard.”
“It turns out — and I did not know this
— most soil is at ground level,” Colbert
testified Friday. Also, “It was hotter than
I like to be.”
Still, Colbert expressed befuddlement
that more Americans aren’t clamoring to
“begin an exciting career” in the fields
and instead are leaving the low-paid
work to illegal immigrants.

Siddique said.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
197.84, or 1.9 percent, to close at

Capuchino rallies for first victory
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Only three weeks into the football season
and the Capuchino team has already endured
a season’s worth of emotional ups and downs.
After having their season opener postponed
because of the gas-line tragedy, the Mustangs
suffered a heart-breaking loss in an offensive
shootout last week.
Friday, however, the Mustangs pulled out a
heart-stopping 14-12 win over visiting Mt.
Eden-Hayward. It was a defensive struggle
that was not decided until the final minutes
when Capuchino backup quarterback Enrico
Zermeno muscled his way over the goal line

For one half, the San Mateo and Terra Nova
High football teams exchanged blows like two
heavyweight boxers, with neither giving an
inch.
Then the Tigers landed some huge combi-
nations, and, ultimately, the knockout blow in
the second half.
What looked to be a down-to-the-wire game
ended in the most unlikeliest of ways — with
a running clock starting midway through the
fourth quarter. Terra Nova showed its vast
superiority in a 50-29 non-league romp in San
Mateo Friday night, beating the Bearcats for
the third time in as many tries in the last year.
“Absolutely, we’re playing at a higher level
at this time now than at the same point last
year,” Terra Nova coach Bill Gray said.
“We’re a little bigger, fitter and quicker on
defense, and our offense is not standing
around waiting for (former standout quarter-
back) Carl Cox to win the game for us.”
But the Tigers (2-2) have another signal
caller who, like Cox, can single-handedly
carry a team on his back. Junior Chris Forbes
is putting up some impressive numbers this
season, and Friday night was no exception. A
week after completing 18-of-20 passes for
257 yards, Forbes “only” went 16 of 22 for
205 yards with touchdown throws of 6 and 30
yards.
Of course, there were at least three occa-
sions when Forbes threw a perfect ball into his
receiver’s hands, only to have it dropped.
Forbes also rushed for 87 yards on 22 carries,
with scoring runs covering 2, 2, 5 and 12
yards. Although Gray described halftime as
“stressful,” the Tigers never trailed.
Sure, San Mateo (2-1) answered each Terra
Nova first-half score with a TD of its own, but
the third and fourth quarters were a complete-
ly different story. The Tigers blitzed the

DENVER — Tim Lincecum threw eight stellar

The Giants entered the day with a half-game

Capuchino (1-1) turned the ball over five
times — including a fumble at the Mt. Eden

Yet somehow, someway, the Mustangs

preceded Zermeno’s touchdown.
A week after the Capuchino offense put up
36 points in a four-point loss, it was the
defense’s turn to shine Friday against the
Monarchs. Capuchino (1-1) did a good job of
stopping Mt. Eden’s spread-option offense,
allowing only 164 yards of total offense —
only 57 yards in the second half.

turnovers. After Mt. Eden intercepted a pass
and returned to the Capuchino 25, the
Monarchs needed six plays to find pay dirt —
aided by a pass-interference penalty that gave
them first-and-goal at the Cap 7. Johnny Gil
capped the drive with a 7-yard run.
Midway through the fourth, Capuchino
coughed the ball up again and, on a contro-
versial call, Mt. Eden’s Kyle Leano was
awarded a 15-yard fumble return for a score

when he recovered the fumble.

the Mustangs could have hung their heads.

CSM can’t
hang with
Santa Rosa
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The College of San Mateo women’s water polo
team isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut, so it’s
imperative the Bulldogs get off to a good start.
That didn’t happen in Friday’s Coast
Conference home match against Santa Rosa, and
the result was predictable — a 9-2 loss. CSM (0-
2 Coast, 3-8 overall) coach Randy Wright said
his players lacked a spark from the get-go.
“I just saw a reluctance to work (in all phases
of the game), which puts you in a vulnerable
position and obviously doesn’t produce goals,”
he said. “I didn’t see a spark out there and I’m not
really too pleased with this performance.”
The Bulldogs trailed 2-0 after the first period
and 4-0 at halftime. Their only solid stretch of the
game came for parts of the third, as they scored
back-to-back goals late in the period. Both of the
tallies came with CSM enjoying a 6-on-5 advan-
tage.
First, it was Melissa Chao making a nice cross-
pool pass to Najelah Najdawi, who was stationed
on the left wing and immediately rifled a shot
into the Santa Rosa goal to make it 6-1 with 3:10
left in the third. A little over two minutes later,
Najdawi returned the favor, assisting on Chao’s
goal.
The Bulldogs were finally displaying some
cohesion, playing tough on defense and piecing
together a couple of nice set pieces offensively.
But the good vibes didn’t last long, as the Bear
Cubs scored 1:38 into the fourth before burying
another goal two minutes later. Wright conceded
Santa Rosa was the superior team, but he felt the
match should’ve been closer.
“Our girls looked like they were tired,” he said.
“They certainly played like it. Still, even if you’re
tired, you have to be ready to go mentally. It’s just
not there and we’re going to have to figure it out.

giving up three or fewer runs. It’s the longest
streak since the Chicago White Sox set the record
with 20 in a row in 1917, according to the Elias
Sports Bureau.
Rookie Jhoulys Chacin (9-10) was matching
Lincecum most of the game, giving up three hits
and two runs in seven innings before being pulled
after 120 pitches.
Chacin walked Buster Posey to begin the sev-
enth and then made his only mistake of the night,
a hanging slider to Burrell, who crushed the pitch
deep into the bleachers in left.

Stanford will need Luck to beat Irish
By Nancy Armour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The way Andrew
Luck has been playing, Notre Dame might prefer
seeing Toby Gerhart again.
Stanford’s first victory over Notre Dame in
eight years looked more like a Gerhart highlight
reel as he rushed for 200-plus yards and three
scores last year, and threw for another. But the
16th-ranked Cardinal (3-0) have hardly missed
the Heisman Trophy runner-up, piling up 155
points — including 68 in a thrashing of Wake
Forest last weekend — on the way to their best
start since 2001.
“Everybody here knows how excellent Toby
was as a football player,” Irish defensive end
Kapron Lewis-Moore said. “This year they don’t
have Toby, but they’re still putting up numbers,
still being successful. We can’t really worry
about last year. We’ve got to focus on stopping

OAKLAND — Tommy Hunter pitched effec-
tively into the sixth inning to earn his career-high
13th victory and the Texas Rangers moved a step
closer toward winning their first division title in
more than a decade by beating the Oakland
Athletics 10-3 on Friday night.

cycle and drove in four runs for the Rangers (85-

Texas can clinch the AL West by beating
Oakland in either of the final two games of this

Andrew Luck on offense.”
While folks east of the Rockies debate whether
Terrelle Pryor, Greg McElroy or Ryan Mallett is
the best quarterback in college football, Luck is
putting up numbers to rival any of them. He’s
thrown for 10 touchdowns already and has yet to
be picked off, and his pass efficiency rating of
192.3 is third-best in the country.
In his 15 games as a starter, the redshirt soph-
omore has thrown for 3,249 yards and 23 TDs,
with just four interceptions.
Oh, Luck can run some, too. He’s averaging
almost 11 yards a carry, and scored on a weaving,
52-yard run against Wake Forest.
“When you look at him and you see him throw,
you’re like ’OK, he’s a pocket quarterback,”’
Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith said. “Then
you watch the Wake Forest game and ... he’s
obviously got speed, too, and some athleticism.
That’s just another aspect.”
Bad news for the Irish (1-2), he and the
Rangers 10, A’s 3
four-game series.
One night after getting shut out for the sec-
ond time in three games, the Rangers
snapped out of their offensive slump in a big
way with 18 hits while Hunter and five
relievers combined to handcuff the A’s.
The Rangers held a 10-game lead over
Oakland a week ago before dropping four of

Cardinal are just getting warmed up.
Stanford is likely to be without Ryan Whalen,
its leading receiver the last two years, after he
hurt his left arm against Wake Forest. But the
Cardinal will have playmaker Chris Owusu, who
had touchdown receptions on his first two drives
back after missing the first two games with a
reported knee injury.
“I’m starting to understand things a little bit
more on the football field,” Luck said. “Last year
I still didn’t know what to expect after three
games. Now I sort of get what’s going on.”
Granted, Luck and the Cardinal have yet to
really be tested. But that changes with the trip to
South Bend, where Stanford has only two wins,
the last of which came in 1992. Notre Dame has
won all but four of the 15 meetings in the series
since then.

Now up by eight games with nine left, the
Rangers are within reach of securing their first
division title since 1999 after a tough offseason
that included manager Ron Washington admit-
ting during spring training to using cocaine
once. The franchise also underwent an owner-
ship change in August when Bill Hicks sold the
club to an 18-member investment group led by
team president Nolan Ryan.
Hunter is a key reason why Texas turned
things around.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Harbaugh cautioned. “I’m not ready to write a
book yet after three games.”
That’s exactly what the Irish are saying.
An overtime loss at Michigan State on a faked
field goal was Notre Dame’s second straight and
sixth in the last seven games. All the losses have
been by a touchdown or less, and all but one were
decided late in the fourth quarter.
But before the grumbling starts — OK, before
it becomes a full-on rage — this isn’t the same
shell-shocked bunch that staggered to the end of
last season and got coach Charlie Weis fired.
Dayne Crist has already put up some big num-
bers, and the first-year starter will only get more
comfortable with coach Brian Kelly’s hair-on-
fire, adrenaline-pumping spread offense. The
defense has been spotty — again — but the
return of starting safety Jamoris Slaughter and
backup Dan McCarthy at least gives the second-
ary some depth, something it didn’t have the last
two games.
He scattered six hits over 5 1-3 innings and
didn’t allow a runner past second base until the
sixth when the A’s scored their first run. Hunter
(13-4) struck out four and didn’t walk a batter
for the fifth time this season.
Hunter’s 13 wins lead the Rangers.
Guerrero homered to right-center leading off
the second against Oakland starter Bobby
Cramer (2-1). It’s only Guerrero’s third home
run in September but his 28th this season, his
most since hitting 33 in 2006 while with the Los

Undefeated is undefeated CSM Continued from page 11

By Doug Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Question his
use of running backs and Todd Haley
fires back with a question of his own.
“What’s our record?”
It’s 2-0, as Kansas City’s combative
head coach knows well, a stunning turn-
around from last year’s 0-2 start. Against
San Francisco on Sunday the Chiefs will
seek to validate their march toward
respectability by going 3-0 for the first
time since 2003.
So Haley and his staff must be doing
something right.
But how, ask many fans and critics,
can they let the accomplished but aging
Thomas Jones share carries with young
Jamaal Charles, who possesses rare
game-breaking speed?
Charles, who broke a 56-yard run
against San Diego for the team’s only
touchdown rushing, is averaging 6.4
yards per carry. He’s one of the fastest
backs in the NFL.
Jones, 32, is averaging 3.7. But in two
games, Jones has 33 carries and Charles
22.
It’s not as though Charles is unproven,
his fans plead. After troublesome Larry
Johnson finally was benched and then
released last year, the former Texas
Longhorn had a breakout season with
1,120 yards rushing. His 968 yards over
the final eight games exceeded every-
body in the NFL but Tennessee’s Chris
Johnson, the offensive player of the year.
Nevertheless, the Chiefs signed Jones
as a free agent in the offseason. And the
49ers would be smart to plan on seeing
both the older, rugged guy and the
younger, faster guy carry the ball rough-
ly the same number of times.
If it’s a dilemma for anybody, it’s a
dilemma for the opponent, Haley insists.
“It is in no way a problem for us. So
far, through two games in the first quar-
ter of the season, I would grade us as
being successful. We’ve got to utilize the
weapons we have and those guys are
both weapons,” Haley said.
There’s no way to argue the running
game is in good shape. With Matt Cassel
sputtering at quarterback, it’s the only
part of the offense that’s shown consis-
tency.
The 49ers (0-2) have allowed an aver-
age of less than 64 yards rushing their
first two games. But at Arrowhead
Stadium on Sunday, they’ll face a rush-
ing attack that ranks third in the AFC
with 137.5 yards per game.
“One of our deeper positions is run-
ning back,” Haley said. “That means
we’ve got a couple of real good players
in my opinion, maybe three and maybe
four. We’ll see as we go forward. Some
way we need to figure a way for them to
contribute.”
Speaking of yards rushing, a rising
concern with the 49ers is quarterback
Alex Smith’s “happy feet.” Smith, who
led the 49ers on four drives of 80 or
more yards Monday night, is the team’s
No. 2 rusher behind Frank Gore with
four carries for 28 yards.
“Obviously, I don’t get excited about
him running with the ball,” said coach
Mike Singletary. “I mean, that’s why we
have Frank Gore. If he can take off and
get some positive yards and without get-
ting banged up, then I’m all for it, but he
just has to make great decisions.”
The 49ers will be out to avoid starting
0-3 for the first time since the 2004 team
started 0-4. But with Smith making
plays, the 49ers gained 417 total yards in
the three-point loss to the Saints, their
most in almost four years.
“You know, certainly when the oppor-
tunity presents itself to run I would like
to run,” Smith said. “But just as much of
that, using your legs ... it can be escaping
pressure to throw a ball away, it can be
escaping pressure to get out and keep
your eyes downfield to complete a pass
just as much as getting the yardage with
your legs. I think if I was ever to roll out
and I saw an opportunity to run, I’d take
it.”
A quarterback scramble, Smith fig-
ures, is pure instinct.
“You drop back in the pocket and all
of a sudden, if there’s pressure or a lane
opens, you take off and go,” he said. “It’s
not something you can do presnap or
decide going into the game, ’Hey I’m
going to run a lot this game.’ I think if
you do that, you’ll get yourself into trou-
ble.”
Is it the end of the world? Heck no. Our fate lies in (the) confer-
ence (tournament).”
Aided by a new, state-of-the-art aquatics facility, CSM will be
hosting this year’s conference championships in the first week of
November. Wright said his team is aiming for a No. 3 seed and
hoping to avoid the No. 4 or 5 slots because that means it will play
top seed Foothill before the semifinals.
“This team has as good a chance as any team I’ve had (to do
some good things), but the willingness to win has to come from
them,” Wright said. “I can set the plays and put them in the right
position, but at the end of the day, the willingness to win comes
from the players, not the coach.”
Wright was pleased with the play of utility Najdawi and goalie
Zoe Aquila, who made a tremendous point-blank save midway
through the final quarter. Chao also made a nice defensive play
with 30 seconds left in the third, swimming back valiantly to
thwart a breakaway from a Santa Rosa player who had come in on
goal off a CSM turnover at midpool.
Wright said Najdawi was one of the few players to put out a max
effort on almost every possession. So even though she made some
mistakes, Wright will never fault a workmanlike effort.
“We were very anemic offensively because if one girl is work-
ing and three aren’t, she can’t get the ball (in position to score),”
Wright said, referring to Najdawi. “It’s frustrating.”
Especially considering the way CSM was playing entering the
week. Last weekend, the Bulldogs were enjoying their best stretch
of the young season, going 2-2 in a four-game stretch. The feeling
was CSM had plenty of momentum entering this week’s action,
but things turned for the worse in a hurry. The Bulldogs dropped
all three matches, getting outscored 31-10 in the process.
Granted, CSM played some tough competition, but Wright said
his team should’ve played at a higher level this week.
Friday, the Bulldogs were plagued by a lack of ball movement
and consistent effort. Fourteen of CSM’s shots completely missed
the goal and it committed 17 turnovers.

against weak Cards’ ‘D’

By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Oakland
Raiders keep trying to climb from inepti-
tude to respectability. The Arizona
Cardinals have shown it can be done.
Staying a contender through inevitable
personnel changes is another matter.
Routed by 34 points in Atlanta last
weekend, the remodeled Cardinals play
the Bruce Gradkowski-led Raiders on
Sunday in Arizona’s home opener.
“After you get whipped like that you’ve
got to definitely respond,” Arizona defen-
sive end Calais Campbell said. “That’s
how you know what this team’s about. It’s
a big week for us.”
After surrendering 444 yards against
the Falcons, the Cardinals’ defense held a
players-only meeting on Wednesday to
air out their feelings.
The team leaders who called the meet-
ing, notably defensive tackle Darnell
Dockett and outside linebacker Joey
Porter, were conspicuously quiet when it
came to talking to reporters after
Wednesday and Thursday practices.
Safety Adrian Wilson finally spoke briefly
and with great reluctance.
“I don’t really have anything nice to
say,” Wilson said. “I mean, we got
whupped. We didn’t even put up a fight.
It’s hard for me to say anything right now.
Everything I say is going to be negative. I
don’t want to go that route.”
The Raiders already have responded to
a rough beating. After losing at Tennessee
38-13 in the season opener, Oakland
came home to beat St. Louis 16-14.
“The confidence level is pretty high
right now,” Raiders cornerback Nnamdi
Asomugha said. “After the opening game
against Tennessee, we wanted to see how
we were going to respond as a team. We
came out against St. Louis and got the
win, and in this league a win is a win, no
matter whom you are playing or how you
get it.”
Arizona’s victory also came against the
Rams, 21-17 at St. Louis in the season
opener.
Raiders coach Tom Cable needed only
six quarters to switch quarterbacks,
benching Jason Campbell in favor of
Gradkowski.
Campbell has been the designated
starter since the Raiders acquired him
from Washington in a trade during the
draft, even signing him to a one-year, $4.5
million contract extension for 2011.
But Cable made the quick change to the
fan favorite Gradkowski.
“The reasons are pretty simple,” Cable
said. “First and foremost is the energy and
the level of intensity that was brought into
the huddle when he came into the game.
They way the guys responded around
him. And obviously scoring points.”
The Cardinals, two-time defending
NFC West champions, already went
through their quarterback issues. Coach
Ken Whisenhunt decided to go with
ent and wherewithal to do just that.
“This team is very capable of getting that No. 3 seed (in the con-
ference tournament),” he said. “Now we just have to go out and
prove it.”
Derek Anderson over Kurt Warner’s heir
apparent, Matt Leinart. Eventually,
Leinart was released and re-signed as a
reserve in Houston. That leaves undrafted
rookie Max Hall as Anderson’s backup.
Anderson, true to his reputation, has
been inconsistent. He led the team on a
winning touchdown drive against St.
Louis but threw two interceptions against
Atlanta. Anderson understands the early
changes at the quarterback position, not
only in Oakland but elsewhere around the
NFL.
“You’ve got to win,” he said. “You’ve
got to make the throws, you’ve got to play
well, be a leader for your team. That’s the
bottom line. I understand that and I think
every quarterback in the league under-
stands that.”
Arizona expects to have running back
Beanie Wells available for the first time
this season. The second-year pro from
Ohio State, the team’s leading rusher last
season, sat out the first two games with
what the team had said was a bruised
right knee. However, late in the week,
Whisenhunt confirmed the running back
had undergone arthroscopic surgery.
Wells said it was to repair a torn menis-
cus.
His return could mean a heavier
reliance on the run, which has been one of
the better aspects of Arizona’s game. Tim
Hightower had a career-best 80-yard
touchdown run against the Falcons.

Instead, they went on the attack. On the
ensuing kickoff, Justin Ewing brought the ball
out to the 29 and 15 more yards were tacked
on when he was hit late out of bounds. The
Mustangs drove to Mt. Eden 2 behind the
hard, inside running of Will Scott.
The Capuchino fumble at the 2 with 2:25
left would have killed the hopes of most
teams, but again, the Mustangs stood tall,
forcing and recovering a fumble of their own
which led to the winning score.
There were plenty of heroics to go around
for Capuchino. Zermeno, for example, had
never played quarterback until this summer

and had never taken a snap in a game until
Friday. When Bacchi went down, Zermeno
came in and calmly and efficiently guided the
Capuchino offense. Scott, who had only 20
yards rushing in the first half, rushed for 100
yards in the second and finished with 120
yards on 25 carries. Logan Soli was the
Mustangs’ big-play man. He returned a first-
quarter punt 28 yards to give the Mustangs
excellent field position and then made a div-
ing, tumbling catch in the end zone late in the
second quarter that gave Capuchino an 8-0
lead halftime. Soli finished with six catches
for 62 yards.
“We have some good players. Kids people
need to watch for,” Seiden said. “This is a

“For us to be 1-1 and we feel we could be 2-

San Diego keeps pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Miguel Tejada hit a go-ahead,
two-run single with the bases loaded and two outs
in the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres
beat Cincinnati 4-3 on Friday night to take the NL
wild-card lead and keep the Reds’ magic number
at three for clinching the NL Central.
Tejada worked the count full against Nick
Masset before singling past diving shortstop
Orlando Cabrera to bring in Chase Headley and
Will Venable. The 36-year-old Tejada pumped his
fist the entire way to first base, gave an emphatic
high-five to coach Rick Renteria and then did the
“spotlight,” where he raises his right hand and pre-
tends to shine a light on his teammates in the
dugout.
Tejada had three RBIs for the Padres, who took
a half-game lead over Atlanta in the wild-card race
and remained a half game behind the San
Francisco Giants in the NL West.
TIGERS
Continued from page 11
Bearcats by scoring four TDs on their first
four possessions coming out of halftime, turn-
ing a close contest into a rout.
Meanwhile, Terra Nova’s defense — led by
linebackers Jeremy Leaver and Eddie
Laurenson —completely took the Bearcats
out of their game.
“They did a good job of dictating (the play),
and put us in second-and-long and third-and-
long situations, (which is never a situation you
want to be in),” San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller
said. “(In the second half) they outplayed us,
they wanted it more. But that’s why we play a
team like Terra Nova (a non division oppo-
nent). Sometimes you have to get punched in
the mouth to see how tough you are. If it was
a breeze, it wouldn’t mean anything.”
In a game featuring 890 yards of total
offense, it was Terra Nova’s second-half
defense that made the ultimate difference. The
Tigers shut down the Bearcats and only
allowed a meaningless TD with 47.7 seconds
left, when the outcome had long been decided.
Terra Nova’s hard-hitting defense forced two
second-half San Mateo turnovers and the
Tigers marched down the field on both occa-
sions for scores.
“Everyone looks at Terra Nova as an offen-
sive team, but the defense has given us a lift,”
Gray said. “Tonight it didn’t look good
because of errors in our kicking game (that
gave San Mateo prime field position and
allowed it to score on two separate occasions
in the first half). We had some errors early on,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Padres 4, Reds 3
Cincinnati still needs a combination of three
wins or three St. Louis Cardinals losses to clinch
its first playoff berth since 1995. Joey Votto missed
his third straight start due to a sinus infection. He
struck out in the ninth as a pinch-hitter.
The Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 7-1. The
Giants beat Colorado 2-1 and the Braves lost 8-3
to Washington.
Headley started the winning rally with a one-out
single to right against Arthur Rhodes (4-4). Pinch-
hitter Nick Hundley walked and was forced on
Venable’s grounder. Masset came on and walked
David Eckstein to load the bases and bring up
Tejada.
After Tejada’s hit, rookie Aroldis Chapman
came on and struck out Adrian Gonzalez on fast-
balls clocked at 101, 102 and 103 mph to end the
inning. All 25 of Chapman’s pitches were 100
mph or faster, topping out at 105 mph.
but in the second half, we did well in all three
phases (of the game).”
Indeed, the Tigers didn’t waste much time
in taking control coming out of halftime. They
needed eight, three, eight and two plays,
respectively, to score on their four second-half
TDs. Forbes hit Elias Vargas (five receptions,
101 yards) for a 30-yard TD to make it 36-21
with 6:26 left in the third.
San Mateo was led by the play of quarter-
back Chris Zografos, who went 7 of 16 for
122 yards and TD throws of 64, 19 and 19
yards. The first two were to receiver Andrew
Ho (four catches, 88 yards). The Bearcats’
passing game complemented their stout
ground game, as once again, George Naufahu
finished with a solid performance.
Running hard and consistently breaking
tackles, Naufahu had 101 yards on 17 carries.
But the Tigers offense was simply too tough to
tame. In addition to Forbes’ exploits, Gray
was particularly pleased with the play of
Laurenson, who needed only 10 carries to
rush for 117 yards.
Then there’s last year’s breakout standout,
fullback Josh Cruz, who has been hampered
by injuries this season. Friday, Cruz saw his
most significant action of the year, finishing
with 70 yards on just four carries. Indeed, it
was a virtuoso performance from Terra Nova
in the second half.
San Mateo, meanwhile, will look to
rebound next week. Scheller said even in
defeat, playing a team like Terra Nova will
only serve as a benefit as the season goes
along. For one, it brings the players back
down to reality.
“Going 2-0 (to start the season), they got a
little bit on the high horse,” he said. “We have
to rebound and fix our mistakes.”

A movie so obvious,even Betty White feels like a hackneyed gag
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Really, the women of “You

They should move on from the
resentments, jealousies and grudges
they’ve held onto since high school
and embrace the people they’ve
become today — even if what
they’ve developed into are stock
characters in a lame, PG-rated com-
edy.
Instead, they try and tear each
other apart in the most crass, slap-
sticky manner possible. Sure, it’s
only a movie, and so any sense of
indignation in watching it is proba-
bly misplaced. But “You Again”
unfortunately perpetuates all the
worst cliches about women being
insecure, petty, spiteful, competitive

A fantastic
theatrical
experience
By Keith Kreitman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
“La Cage Aux Folles” is one of
those stage works that one can tell
from the very opening is going to be
a great theatrical experience. The
sets are exciting and the enthusiasm
of the performers radiates blindingly
from the stage.
This is really a superb production
of a musical that has already imbed-
ded itself in the classical stage reper-
toire, with numerous Tony Awards
and has even been co-opted as a suc-
cessful movie.
Broadway musicals often have
been to hang great music on thin
plots, but not in “La Cage,” in which
the story line is great and very
funny.
The focus is on a gay couple
Georges (Kurt Denham), who labels
himself just a plain old garden vari-
ety of homosexual and Albin (Ray
Mendonca), his romantic partner,
who in drag as the flamboyant Zaza
is the star of Georges’ Saint-Tropez
nightclub featuring drag entertain-
ment. During their longtime rela-
tionship, for over 20 years, they had
both raised Jean-Michel (Justin
Basl), Georges’ son by a casual
encounter with an Englishwoman,
who abandoned all of them later.
The turning point of the plot is
when Jean-Michel announces he is
bringing his fiancée’s ultra-conser-
vative parents to meet his mother
and father for final approval of the
marriage. How does he explain his
“mother” is a drag queen?
As Zaza, Ray Mendonca has the
best numbers and the showier role
and, in that, he is superb, but equal
credit needs to be given to Kurt
Denham’s Georges, who as the cen-
tral figure in the plot and as the mas-
ter of ceremonies of his drag club,
really holds the whole production
together. He shows the same
strength that made his “Daddy
Warbucks” in the B by the B pro-
duction of “Annie” so memorable.
The production is at two levels.
The comedic/dramatic is the side
spitting application of conventional
“family values” to a gay couple,
residing next door to Georges’ club,
retained by a bizarre and irrepress-
ible black “maid/butler” Jacob
(George B. Scott). After finding out
Jean-Michel was planning to marry
(ugh!), Albin breaks down in tears to

Dark,” a joint presentation by the San Francisco Arts
Commission Gallery’s Art at City Hall Program and
PhotoAlliance, is an intriguing collection of nighttime
images, ranging from landscapes to portraits, from
photodocumentary essays to fantastical narratives. This
juried show contains the work of 28 artists, whose widely

between sunset and sunrise.

Obama, Ahmadinejad trade barbs over 9/11

By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — President Barack
Obama and Iranian leader Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad traded heated remarks
Friday on the emotional subject of
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and
hopes for a quick resumption of talks
on Iran’s suspect nuclear program
appeared to fade.
Obama accused Ahmadinejad of
making “offensive” and “hateful”
comments when he said most of the
world thinks the United States was
behind the attacks to benefit Israel.
The Iranian president defended his
remarks from a day earlier at the
United Nations General Assembly
and suggested that a fact-finding
panel be created by the U.N. to look
into who was behind them.

16-year-old daughter Kelly.
An orange glow filled the room.
“I wondered, ‘what is that?’” said
Sherlock, whose daughter had a dif-
ferent reaction — to get her and her
mother out quickly. A wave of heat
hit the women as they exited the
front door and began running up the
hill on Claremont Drive, stopping
before reaching Sneath Lane to look
back below. From the flames,
Sherlock could see water being
sprayed from a main which she rec-
ognized.
“I knew our house would at least
be standing,” she said.
They were lucky. Across the
street, houses which were not nec-
essarily burned were damaged
from large pieces of asphalt that
were catapulted through the roof.
One house caught on fire due to
For the Sherlocks, things have
been stressful and inconvenient.
Inside, walls were washed to get rid
of the smoke smell, items were
boxed up and walls are being
repainted. Cars were damaged. And
the house doesn’t have clean air cir-
culating because outside dust is
omnipresent as crews work to clear
what’s left of houses and cars that
were engulfed by the flames.
Preparation for the larger cleanup
began Monday as water was
sprayed, soaking the area to keep
dust and ash from swirling in the
wind. On Thursday, three crews
began removing cars and charred
debris from properties, said Dean
Peterson, director of environmental
health for the county.
The job, which is estimated to
take three weeks, is not a demolition
job and burned-out properties will
not simply be leveled without con-
sideration of what might have sur-
vived the six-alarm blaze.
San Bruno contracted with the
CalRecycles to clean and remove
wreckage. A number of other agen-
cies are also involved, monitoring
air quality and helping the county
handle the disaster.
Homeowners are not required to
let the county manage their cleanup
but of the 35 in need of work, 29
have signed up and others are in the
process, said Peterson. Two home-
owners, who had rented out their
properties, have been difficult to
contact; one property owner
expressed an interest in handling the
cleanup themselves — which is
their right; while another wants to
be the last to sign up, he added.
Damaged houses have green signs
marking the address. Additionally, a
sign with the various steps for
cleanup were outside. Color-coded
stickers will be added as the steps
are completed. Everything will be
removed from a property except for
landscaping and patios that may
have been untouched. Soil samples
will also be taken so residents can

small, sometimes vaguely recogniz-
able items within view.
The outline of the washer and
dryer at 1115 Fairmont Drive were
melded together. But in what was
the backyard, a basketball hoop and
net were unscathed with corners of
the backboard curling at the top left
corner. On Claremont, a Precious
Moments cross had been placed on
the jet-black portion of a plant.
Clearly it was placed after the fire,
but the heat must have remained as
the top corner had become
deformed.
Flowers were placed on dirt areas
that were previously home to well-
maintained lawns and cars with
nothing but the remaining frame
being slowly removed. What looked
like a PT Cruiser was picked up
leaving dust, melted wheels and a
license plate behind. A metal play
structure was mangled in a pocket
Cleanup is part of the larger plan
for the city to begin rebuilding.
“There is a sense of finality and
also a sense of a new beginning. ...
We’re providing the public the
opportunity to see the future rather
than the tragic events of the past,”
said City Manager Connie Jackson.
On Tuesday, the City Council
contracted with security service to
offer 24-hour service in the area.
Police Chief Neil Telford noted the
transition has been seamless.
Starting Monday, San Bruno
plans to debut a new one-on-one
liaison program with 10 city
employees who will each be
matched with about five affected
families, said Jackson. This person
will be a conduit for the families,
learning their needs and connecting
the family with programs and peo-
ple who can help.

U.S.hiker meets with president of Iran
By Samantha Gross
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Sarah Shourd,
one of three Americans arrested last
year while hiking near the Iran-Iraq
border, met with Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday
to plead for the release of her still-
imprisoned fiance and their friend.
“I’m just going to keep pushing
every minute for their release on
humanitarian grounds,” Shourd told
ABC News outside a hotel after she
and her mother, Nora Shourd, met
with the president.
Shourd, 32, called the encounter
“a very gracious gesture and a good
meeting,” said Ahmadinejad
seemed friendly and that it was “a
very human encounter, very person-
al.”
Family spokeswoman Samantha
Topping confirmed the meeting
with Ahmadinejad, who was in New
York to attend the United Nations
Opened flood gates in Nigeria displace 2 million
By Jon Gambrell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigerian
authorities opened the gates at two
swollen dams in the country’s rain-
soaked north, sending a flood into a
neighboring state that has displaced
2 million people, officials said
Friday.
Water from the Challawa and Tiga
dams has swept through rural Jigawa
state, bordering the nation of Niger,

the state governor. Kyari said the ris-
ing waters have affected about 5,000

after 14 months.
Shourd told the Associated Press
on Thursday of the monotony,
cramped quarters and fears for her
future during her 410 days in an
Iranian prison, mostly in solitary
confinement.

“They released water indiscrimi-

why the water flows.”
It wasn’t immediately clear
whether residents received a warning
or if anyone was injured or went
missing in the flooding. Officials
typically open dams seasonally in
the region, but it appears far more
water flowed out than residents
expected.

million in West Africa, typically has

Ahmadinejad: Iran
may end enrichment
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Iran would con-

enrichment, the most crucial part
of its controversial nuclear activi-
ties, if world powers send Tehran
nuclear fuel for a medical research
reactor, President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad told reporters
Friday.
Addressing a packed press
conference in a New York hotel,
Ahmadinejad also said Iran was
prepared to set a date for
resumption of talks with six
world powers to discuss
Tehran’s nuclear program, say-
through the country. However, this
year has seen particularly strong
rains in the north that already broke a
dam and flowed over levees in anoth-
er northern state.
State information commissioner
Aminu Mohammed said local offi-
cials had begun putting displaced
families in rural schoolhouses and
other government buildings out of
the reach of the floodwaters.
However, Mohammed said the water
had coursed across to the border with
neighboring Yobe state.

charge of the dam in neighboring
Kano state could not be immediate-

night.
Jigawa sits more than 870 miles
(1,400 kilometers) from Lagos in
Nigeria’s Muslim-dominated north.
Mohammed said the flooding has
grown progressively worse since
August, reaching its height Friday.
He said more than 222,000 acres
(nearly 90,000 hectares) of farmland
have been washed away by the flood-
ing, as well as millions of dollars
worth of cattle.
