SAN FRANCISCO With a
midnight strike deadline
approaching, the Bay Area Rapid
Transits two largest unions
announced they wont walk off the
job late Sunday to allow one more
day of contract negotiations.
We are not going to go on
strike because the public deserves
to have a riding system that
works. We will give the (transit
agency) one more day to get it
together, said Antonette Bryant,
leader of Amalgamated Transit
Union Local 1555, one of the two
unions in talks with BART.
BART officials said they pre-
sented the last best offer Sunday
afternoon, and that the unions
have two weeks to consider it
before its taken off the table.
The unions said workers will
walk off the job at midnight
Monday if an offer isnt reached
by then.
BARTworkers went on strike for
nearly ve days in July and were
set to do so again Friday when a
cooling-off period ordered by
Gov. Jerry Brown ended, but they
agreed to negotiate through the
weekend.
Nearly 370,000 riders take
BART every weekday, and its 104
miles of track make it the nations
fifth-largest commuter rail sys-
tem.
In a sign of how seriously
another shutdown is looming over
the region, state lawmakers from
Bart strike on hold for a day

Chaplain Leo McArdle accepted his Veteran of the Year award this past Wednesday from state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
At age 68, with years of commu-
nity and military service under his
belt, Chaplain Leo McArdle was
named Veteran of the Year by state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo earli-
er this week.
In addition to his eight years as
an active serviceman with the U.S.
Army in the Vietnam War and ve
years in the Army Reserves, he
also has been active in the
Wreaths Across America group
that puts wreaths on grave sites of
deceased veterans.
McArdle was surprised with the
honor at Hills San Mateo ofce
Wednesday.
I was totally oored, said the
Burlingame resident. Its not
often you catch me at a loss for
words. I dont do what I do for
awards or recognition, but it
means a lot. Its still quite an
honor.
He was especially surprised to
see his niece Maureen in the audi-
ence, who came from out of state
for the occasion. Others who have
worked with McArdle over the
years and are active in veterans
group also came to surprise him
with the award, which is given to a
resident in the 13th Senate
District annually.
At the surprise occasion
Wednesday, Hill noted it was for a
lifetime of service and that its
impressive McArdle is so active
during his years of retirement.
McArdle retired after 25 years as
a maintenance engineer at a Daly
City condo complex and currently
acts as a chaplain, providing com-
fort for veterans and their fami-
lies. He works with other veterans
to pay respects to those recently
deceased service people in the
community, making sure that the
deceased are provided with appro-
priate military honors at their
funerals.
He serves for a number of veter-
an organizations along the
Peninsula. He works as chief of
staff for honors with the U.S.

The city of San Carlos is not
required to raise residential
garbage rates in 2014 but is con-
sidering doing so to bring them
more in line with service costs and
stave off future increases.
The recommended changes
would add $3 to 20-gallon cans, $2
to 32-gallon cans and a 1.69 per-
cent increase for all unscheduled
services. Larger 64- and 96-gallon
cart customers will see a $10
decrease.
On Monday night, the City
Council will discuss if that is the
route it prefers and schedule a pub-
lic hearing on the proposal Dec. 9.
The recommended increase does-
nt bring in any new revenue to the
city because it is a move toward
aligning residential cart rates.
However, it changes where the rev-
enue comes from.
The council could also hold rates
at 2013 levels to offset future
increases which would actually
create a small revenue surplus
because of decreasing labor costs
but it doesnt help the city move
toward aligning with actual cart
costs, according to a report by
management analyst Kristen
Elderson.
The $286,645 surplus could
equal a 3.5 percent drop in total
rates but, as it is only an estimate
of 2014, there would be rate

Incumbents Albert Stuebing and
Betty Linvill, along with first-
time candidate Michael Malekos,
almost walked onto the Board of
Directors of the Mid-Peninsula
Water District in an uncontested
race this November until three-
time Belmont mayor Dave Warden
decided to not seek another term
on the council he currently serves,
opting instead to le papers for a
run on the water board just as the
ling deadline was set to expire.
The four are now seeking three
open seats on the water board,
which serves mostly Belmont, as
longtime director David Altscher
is not seeking re-election after
rst joining the board in 1999.
Altscher actually encouraged
Malekos to run for the board,
Malekos told the Daily Journal.
Malekos is a former Belmont
finance commissioner and has
been in charge of putting together
the Belmont Greek Festival at the
Church of the Holy Cross the past
few years. He is retired after work-
ing as a utility executive and nan-
cial services professional and has
lived in Belmont for 18 years.
Malekos applied for a seat on the
board in 2009 after one of the
directors abruptly retired but even-

Hugh Jackman raises $1.85M
with birthday benet
LOS ANGELES Hugh Jackman
threw himself a birthday party with
4,500 guests, but they had to pay to
attend.
The actor spent his 45th birthday
Saturday at Hollywoods Dolby
Theatre, where he sang, danced and told
stories for One Night Only, a benet
concert that raised $1.85 million for
the Motion Picture & Television Fund.
This is probably the most narcis-
sistic way to spend your birthday, he
said after the show. I chose my
favorite songs and told stories about
my life.
Backed by a 17-member orchestra,
Jackman performed a variation of his
recent Broadway show, with personal
stories, a few lm clips and selections
from classic Hollywood musicals
including a tap-dancing routine during
Singin in the Rain. He talked about
his family, sang a tribute to his wife
and shared music and images of his
native Australia.
A lot of guys would say to their
wife, Do you mind if I go play golf
with my buddies? Thats how I am
about the show, he said. I love it. If
theres a song I dont like, I cut it and
bring in a new song. Everything is
something I want to do. So to be here
tonight, supporting this cause and
it couldnt have been a more generous
crowd if it tried in every way it was
great.
Jackman said he donated his birthday
performance to the Motion Picture &
Television Fund because it offers that
unconditional helping hand you get in
a family. The organization provides
health care and other services to enter-
tainment-industry workers and
retirees.
Cybill Shepherd, Bryan Singer,
Darren Criss and songwriter Carole
Bayer Sager were among the famous
faces in the industry-heavy audience
for the two-and-a-half-hour show,
which ended with Jackman auctioning
off an electric Fiat, a pair of Wolverine
claws and two sweaty undershirts he
wore during the nights performance.
The shirts went for $11,000 each.
Oh my! Flying monkey among
Maine Oz exhibit draws
ROCKLAND, Maine Far from
Kansas, far from any yellow brick road
and all the way to Maine, fans of The
Wizard of Oz can catch a peek of
Dorothys blue gingham dress, a pair
of her ruby slippers and even a ying
monkey.
A new exhibit that opened Saturday
at the Farnsworth Art Museum in
Rockland features those items and
more from the worlds largest Wizard of
Oz collection. The 107-piece display
includes props from various Wizard of
Oz movies, rare rst-print copies of
the original Wizard of Oz book, movie
posters and an array of Oz memorabil-
ia.
The exhibit, which runs through
March, will give fans a sense of all
things Oz, starting with L. Frank
Baums 1900 book The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz, said Willard Carroll, a
lmmaker from nearby Camden who
owns the items with his longtime part-
ner. Carroll, 57, has amassed more
than 100,000 Oz items since he rst
became enthralled with the story at age
10.
The Wizard of Oz story has endured
for more than a century and is enjoying
a resurgence this year with the release
of the 1939 movie in 3-D and the
approach of the movies 75th anniver-
sary. Oz the Great and Powerful, a
prequel to the 1939 lm that explores
the origins of the wizard, was released
this year, and the hit musical Wicked
continues to run on Broadway.
Its one of these pop culture things
that really has held on, Carroll said.
There are times its spiked, and its
spiking now because of the 75th
anniversary.
The story of Oz originated with
Baums book, which spawned numerous
movies and stage productions, a radio
series, animated cartoons and spinoff
products such as toys, dolls, puzzles and
even wallpaper panels. Its best known,
of course, from the 1939 The Wizard of
Oz movie, whose color, music and fan-
tasy storytelling captured the fascina-
tion of moviegoers.

edediah Strong Smith was born in
New York Jan. 6, 1799. His parents
ran a unprotable store that they left
in 1811 for greener pastures on the frontier,
first in Pennsylvania then in Northeast
Ohio. Jedediah matured fast and became
interested in the sailors life so he left for
the Great Lakes. He got a job on a boat but
it ended with the War of 1812. With no job,
he read the ad put out by General William
Henry Ashley in St. Louis that wanted 100
good men to trap in the west. Jedediah
walked to St. Louis in 1821 and applied for
the job. He became a clerk due to his small
education and was assigned to a keelboat
they were taking up the Missouri River.
After backbreaking work getting the keel-
boat up the river, they stopped at the
Arickara Indian village where they bought
horses. Jedediah was not your typical
roughshod, hard-drinking trapper. He was
very religious, a Methodist who never drank
nor smoked or used profanity. He absorbed
information from everybody and every
experience in hopes of making his travels
easier. Atrading post was established for the
winter and his men put out their traps to col-
lect pelts. ASioux Indian raid depleted them
of their horses and, when General Ashley
found this out, he decided to buy more hors-
es from the Arickara. Unfortunately, the
Indians were now unfriendly and, after pay-
ing for the horses in lead and gun powder,
the Indians attacked at dawn and 13 men
were killed and the horses lost.
After this experience, the trapping further
upstream proved to be good and many pelts
were gotten. Ashley, however, decided to
split up the group and Smiths group were
sent to the Black Hills where pelts were
plentiful. One experience he did not want
while setting out traps occurred. He sudden-
ly came face to face with a bear. He ran for
his rie but the bear was faster and he hit
Smith with a paw that opened the side of his
head, virtually tearing off his ear. Smith
managed to shoot the bear and, although in
awful pain and in shock, he directed his
buddy to sew his ear back on and clean the
deep cut. He survived but he allowed his hair
to grow long after that so as to hide his
scars.
Winter came and Smith and his group
decided to stay over winter at Salt Lake.
While there, he grew restless and formed a
plan to go to Spanish-controlled

Apassenger involved in a 2011
fatal crash on Highway 101 is
suing the driver of the vehicle
carrying her and the victim,
another driver once criminally
charged with causing the death
because he was intoxicated and
the motorist whose blown tire is
thought to have started the colli-
si on.
Denise Bravo, whose fellow
passenger Andrel Norcel Gaines,
19, died in the crash, is seeking
damages and reimbursement of
medical expenses for injuries to
her back and nervous system,
shock and mental suffering,
according to a lawsuit filed Oct.
10 in San Mateo County Superior
Court.
Bravos suit names Mauricio
Centino, Leonardo Lazo, Jerry
Struthers, Razeleyn Ambrocio,
Billy Ray Heard, Dennis Dallas
Leffew Jr. and 10 unnamed people
who may be involved. The indi-
viduals represent the drivers and
owners of the vehicles involved
in the Nov. 6, 2011 collision on
Highway 101 just before the
Millbrae Avenue exit.
Bravo and Gaines were two of
four passengers in a 2003
Cadillac driven by Billy Ray
Heard, and traveling south from a
night out in San Francisco.
The Chevrolet Tahoe driven by
Lazo lost a tire which stopped in
one southbound lane and Heard
swerved to miss it, colliding with
the center divider and stopping in
the middle lane. Bravos lawsuit
cites both drivers and owners
with negligently and carelessly
maintaining and operating their
respective vehicles which led to
the respective road hazard and
collision.
Minutes later, prosecutors said
Leffew crashed his Nissan 300ZX
into the car, pushing it down the
highway for a distance. The
Cadillacs passengers received
various injuries but Gaines suf-
fered a traumatic head injury and
remained on life support until
Nov. 18, 2011 when he was
removed.
Bravo, who was seated in the
Cadillacs front seat, was injured
in her health, strength and activ-
i t y, the suit states.
While Leffew was hospitalized
with his own injuries, a blood
sample placed his blood alcohol
level at .12 percent. He was
charged with Gaines death the
following March but the
Cadillacs initial collision com-
plicated the case. An accident
reconstruction specialist hired by
his defense found that even a
sober driver could not have avoid-
ed the accident and prosecutors
dropped his gross vehicle
manslaughter charge to one of
misdemeanor driving while under
the influence. He received time
served.
In 2012, Heard also sued
Leffew, Tahoe driver Lazo and
owner Centeno, and the state
Department of Transportation for
allegedly keeping dangerous con-
dition of public property. The
suit against the state was dis-
missed earlier this year. Leffew
also sued the state, Centeno and
Lazo but that case was also dis-
missed.
In his compensation claim to
the state and subsequent lawsuit,
Heard stated the crash caused him
severe brain damage and bleeding
and facial, pelvic and wrist frac-
tures. He sought reimbursement
of his current medical expenses,
then totaling more than
$270,000, and future costs esti-
mated to pass more than a half-
million dollars.
Bravo likewise is looking to
the future in her suit, specifically
seeking a judgment for ongoing
care and loss of earnings and
impairment of earning capacity.
A case management conference
is scheduled for Feb. 6.

Two teens arrested for
multiple home burglaries
Two teenagers who were arrested for
attempted burglary in South San
Francisco last week have admitted to
burglarizing two other homes, accord-
ing to police.
The two boys were arrested Thursday
when a resident spotted them prowling
in a neighborhood in the 100 block of
Knoll Circle, according to South San
Francisco police.
The suspects, whose names were not
released because they are minors,
admitted in custody that they were
responsible for at least two other
home burglaries, one on West Orange
Avenue, and a second in the 500 block
of Mayfair Avenue, police said.
Property from both residences was
recovered from one of the suspects
homes over the weekend, police said.

Massive pumpkins roll into Half
Moon Bay for annual weigh-off
Pumpkins weighing nearly a ton are
rolling into Half Moon Bay this week-
end to take part in an annual pumpkin
weigh-off.
The 2013 Safeway World
Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off
takes place Monday and kicks off Half
Moon Bays weeklong Art & Pumpkin
Festival.
Dozens of growers from across the
country are trucking their massive
pumpkins to San Mateo Countys
coastside, where a cash prize deter-
mined by weight will be given to the
owner of the years heaviest pumpkin.
In 2012, Thad Starr of Pleasant Hill,
Ore., won rst prize with a pumpkin
that weighed 1,775 pounds.
At $6 per pound, Starr received a
cash prize of $10,650.
Safeway has offered a bonus prize of
$30,000 for any pumpkin that breaks
the world record, which currently
stands at 2,009 pounds.
Cash prizes will also be handed out
to the grower the heaviest pumpkin
grown in Californias, the heaviest
grown in San Mateo County, and the
competitions prettiest pumpkin,
which will be judged by audience
applause.
The weigh-off is scheduled to begin
at 7 a.m. in the parking lot at 735
Main St., Half Moon Bay.

Costco is recalling chicken prod-
ucts sold at a South San Francisco store
last month in connection with a major
outbreak of antibiotic resistant salmo-
nella linked to Foster Farms chicken.
The products include rotisserie
chickens, rotisserie chicken leg quar-
ters, rotisserie chicken salad and rotis-
serie chicken soup sold at the store at
1600 El Camino Real between Sept. 11
and Sept. 23, the company said
Saturday.
The chicken products have been
linked to an outbreak of antibiotic
resistant salmonella Heidelberg
reported earlier this week by the U.S.
Department of Agricultures Food
Safety and Inspection Service, the
company said.
Consumers are advised not to con-
sume the products if they still have
them and to discard or return any uneat-
en leftovers, the company said in a
message for customers.
The salmonella outbreak has been
linked to Foster Farms chicken distrib-
uted mainly to retailers in California,
Oregon and Washington, and 73 per-
cent of cases have been reported in
California, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and USDA.
As of Oct. 11, a total of 317 cases
involving seven strains of salmonella
Heidelberg had been reported across 20
states and Puerto Rico, the
CDC reports.
Of those cases, 42 percent of those
infected have been hospitalized, but
no deaths have been reported, the CDC
said.
Most reported cases occurred
between March 1, 2013 and Sept. 26,
2013, but more recent cases might not
have been reported yet, CDC ofcials
noted.
The USDA threatened to shut down
the three Foster Farms plants linked to
the outbreak. On Oct. 10, however, the
companyand health ofcials
announced that the company would
be allowed tocontinue operating, after
it
submitted plans to improve its oper-
ating procedures.
State public health ofcials did not
ask Foster Farms to recall chickens
because the meat is safe for consump-
tion with proper handling and prepara-
tion, according to a statement from Dr.
Ron Chapman, the director of the
California Department of Public
Health that was issued Wednesday.
Chicken is a raw animal protein
that is expected to have some level of
naturally occurring bacteria present.
Cooking chicken fully to 165 degrees
Fahrenheit will kill the bacteria that
are present. Provided that consumers
do not cross-contaminate fully cooked
chicken with raw chicken juices, it is
safe to consume, Dr. Chapman said in
the statement.
The Centers for Disease Control has
established a web page tracking the
outbreak at http://www.cdc.gov/sal-
m o n e l l a / h e i d e l b e r g - 1 0

Hunter found alive after 18 days in Calif. forest
UKIAH ASan Francisco man who was missing in the
Mendocino National Forest for 18 days after he slipped and
lost consciousness in steep terrain has been rescued and is
in surprisingly good condition.
The Ukiah Daily Journal reported Sunday
(http://bit.ly/GY9aaC ) that 72-year-old Gene Penaor sur-
vived in the Yuki Wilderness by eating squirrels, lizards, a
snake, berries and algae and covering himself with leaves to
stay warm.
Mendocino County Sheriffs Office detective Andrew
Porter tells the newspaper that Penaor had been missing
since Sept. 24 when he failed to meet up with his hunting
partner for lunch.
Afour-day search that started the next day was called off
after no clues to his whereabouts surfaced.
Another group of hunters stumbled upon the missing man
on Saturday and carried him out of the forest.
San Diego mayoral PAC ned for ethics violations
SAN DIEGO A political action committee formed by
opponents of a former San Diego city councilman has been
ned $7,500 for violating campaign disclosure laws.
Conservatives for Gay Rights Supporting Carl DeMaio
made calls and distributed leaets stating that DeMaio is
gay. The leaets showed him standing near a man dressed in
drag.
DeMaio, an openly gay Republican, lost last years San
Diego mayoral race to Democrat Bob Filner, who recently
resigned following a sexual harassment scandal.
The PAC actually had ties to the Democratic party and
Filner. But the San Diego Ethics Commission said Friday it
found no evidence Filner knew of the groups actions.
The PAC was ned for not supplying a valid address or
keeping records of expenditures.
DeMaio is now running for Congress.
Puppies abandoned in Tahoe dumpster nd homes
RENO, Nev. Six puppies abandoned in a Lake Tahoe
trash bin have found permanent homes in the Reno-Tahoe
area.
Becky Goodman of the Pet Network Humane Society in
Incline Village says the dogs were adopted after being fea-
tured at a community reception a week ago.
She told the Tahoe Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/1gqX1sv )
that her organization received as many as 75 adoption
applications from across the country for the animals, but
sought to place them in local homes.
State briefs
LAKE TAHOE Its not your aver-
age bear battle.
After years of trying to keep the
regions black bears from being cap-
tured and possibly killed, animal
rights activists in Lake Tahoe are
using increasingly aggressive strate-
gies to keep California and Nevada
game wardens from trapping bears that
break into homes, businesses and
campsites in search of food.
Members of the Bear League, a grass-
roots group that tries to educate people
not to fear the animals and to keep better
tabs on their trash, have started keeping
vigils by traps and booing the
game wardens who set and
check on them, The
Sacramento Bee reports.
They are just gorgeous crea-
tures, and they are so misunder-
stood, said Carolyn Stark, a
Bear League board member.
She helped maintain a round-
the-clock vigil at a trap
recently set at an Incline Village
home where a female bear had twice
broken into the garage. Its so unfair.
I want to help protect them.
Other activists have coated the devices
with Pine-Sol to deter bears and even
used teddy bears as decoys, the newspa-
per said. And a Facebook page called the
Lake Tahoe Wall of Shame prints the
addresses of places that have been care-
less with garbage bins or where traps are
rumored to be imminent.
Residents and business owners who
have called wildlife ofcials to report
bears on their property also have been
caught in the crosshairs with anonymous
threats and online slurs, The Bee said.
John Brissenden, manager of
Sorensens Resort, said
employees were
threatened after two bears were killed
there last year.
We were branded as murderers and exe-
cutioners, Brissenden said. It was
alarming, discouraging, given our 40
years of protecting wildlife habitat,
including bear habitat. Bear League
Executive Director Ann Bryant says her
group only intervenes legally and does
not endorse threats or trap-tampering.
We are accused of all kinds of things,
Bryant said. People who dont like
bears dont like us. We know that.
The combination of tactics has made
property owners reluctant to call
wildlife officials for assistance,
Nevada Department of Wildlife
director Tony Wasley said.
Weve had residences bro-
ken into by bears where the
occupants made the
statement that the peo-
ple were more danger-
ous than the bears,
Wasley said. For
that reason, they did-
nt want a trap or, in
one case, asked that the
trap be removed.

WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans and Democrats hit an
impasse Sunday over spending in
their last-ditch struggle to avoid
an economy-jarring default in just
four days and end a partial govern-
ment shutdown thats entering its
third week.
After inconclusive talks
between President Barack Obama
and House Republicans, Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., took charge in
trying to end the crises, although
a conversation Sunday afternoon
failed to break the stalemate.
Im optimistic about the
prospects for a positive conclu-
sion to the issues before this
country today, Reid said as the
Senate wrapped up a rare Sunday
session.
The two cagy negotiators are at
loggerheads over Democratic
demands to undo or change the
automatic, across-the-board
spending cuts to domestic and
defense programs that the GOP see
as crucial to reducing the nations
decit.
McConnell insisted a solution
was readily available in the pro-
posal from a bipartisan group of
12 senators, led by Sens. Susan
Collins, R-Maine, and Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va., that would re-
open the gov-
ernment and
fund it at current
levels for six
months while
raising the debt
limit through
Jan. 31.
Its time for
Democrat lead-
ers to take yes
for an answer, McConnell said in
a statement.
But six Democrats in the group
and a spokesman for Collins said
that while negotiations continued
this weekend, there was no agree-
ment.
Latest snag
The latest snag comes as
350,000 federal workers remain
idle, hundreds of thousands more
work without pay and an array of
government services, from home
loan applications to environmen-
tal inspections, were on hold on
the 13th day of the shutdown.
Many parks and monuments
remain closed, drawing a protest at
the National World War II
Memorial on Sunday that included
tea party-backed lawmakers who
had unsuccessfully demanded
defunding of Obamas 3-year-old
health care law in exchange for
keeping the government open.
Unnerving to world economies
is the prospect of the United
States defaulting on its nancial
obligations on Thursday if
Congress fails to raise the borrow-
ing authority above the $16.7 tril-
lion debt limit.
Christine Lagarde, the
International Monetary Funds
managing director, spoke fearful-
ly about the disruption and uncer-
tainty, warning of a risk of tip-
ping, yet again, into recession
after the tful recovery from 2008.
The reaction of world financial
markets and the Dow Jones on
Monday will inuence any con-
gressional talks.
Congress is racing the clock to
get a deal done, faced with time-
consuming Senate procedures
that could slow legislation, like-
ly opposition from tea partyers
and certain resistance in the
Republican-led House before a
bill gets to Obama.
Politically, Republicans are
reeling, bearing a substantial
amount of the blame for the gov-
ernment shutdown and stalemate.
Were in a free-fall as
Republicans, but Democrats are
not far behind, said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., in warning
Democrats about seizing on the
GOPs bruised brand as leverage
to extract more concessions.
McConnell and Republicans
want to continue current spend-
ing at $986.7 billion and leave
untouched the new round of cuts
in January, commonly known as
sequester, that would reduce the
amount to $967 billion.
Democrats want to figure out a
way to undo the reductions, plus a
long-term extension of the debt
limit increase and a short-term
spending bill to reopen the gov-
ernment.
Republicans want to do it with
entitlement cuts, said Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Democrats want to do it with a
mix of mandatory cuts, some
entitlements and revenues. And
so how do you overcome that
dilemma? Were not going to
overcome it in the next day or
two.
He suggested keeping the gov-
ernment running through mid-
January.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois,
the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate,
told reporters the two sides are
roughly $70 billion apart, the
difference between the $1.058
trillion Senate budget amount and
the $988 billion envisioned by
House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wi s.
We havent picked a number,
but clearly we need to negotiate
between those two, Durbin said.
Republicans dismiss the latest
request as Reid moving the goal-
posts in negotiations as they were
getting closer to resolving the
stalemate that has paralyzed
Washington. They also argue that
it is disingenuous for Democrats
to resist any changes in the 3-
year-old health care law while try-
ing to undo the 2011 budget law
that put the cuts on track.
I think the Democrats are on
the verge of being one tick too
cute as they see the House possi-
bly in disarray they now are
overreaching, and I think that
what weve got to do is get this
back in the middle of the road, act
like adults, said Sen. Bob Corker,
R-Tenn.
2011 law
Graham and Sen. Rand Paul, R-
Ky., said they would not support
any deal that upends the spending
limits imposed by the 2011 law,
and predicted that their Senate
GOPcolleagues would oppose it as
well.
Out of play, for now, was the
Republican-led House, where
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
told GOPlawmakers early Saturday
that his talks with the president
had ground to a halt. Obama tele-
phoned House Democratic leader
Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, focusing
on the need for any increase in the
debt limit without concessions.
Also sidelined, at least for now,
was the plan forged by Collins
and a bipartisan coalition to
briey fund the government and
extend the $16.7 trillion debt
limit, in exchange for steps like
temporarily delaying the medical
device tax that helps fund the
health care law.
Spending stumbling block to budget
WASHINGTON For the second
straight year, millions of Social
Security recipients, disabled veter-
ans and federal retirees can expect
historically small increases in their
benets come January.
Preliminary gures suggest a ben-
et increase of roughly 1.5 percent,
which would be among the smallest
since automatic increases were
adopted in 1975, according to an
analysis by The Associated Press.
Next years raise will be small
because consumer prices, as meas-
ured by the government, havent
gone up much in the past year.
The exact size of the cost-of-
living adjustment, or COLA,
wont be known until the Labor
Department releases the ination
report for September. That was
supposed to happen Wednesday,
but the report was delayed inde-
nitely because of the partial gov-
ernment shutdown.

BOSTON New research sug-
gests that high levels of BPA, a
chemical in many plastics and
canned food linings, might raise
the risk of miscarriage in women
prone to that problem or having
trouble getting pregnant.
The work is not nearly enough
to prove a link, but it adds to the
biological plausibility that BPA
might affect fertility and other
aspects of health, said Dr. Linda
Giudice, a California biochemist
who is president of the American
Society for Reproductive
Medicine.
BPA, short for bisphenol-A, and
certain other environmental chem-
icals can have very weak, hor-
mone-like effects. Tests show BPA
in nearly everyones urine, though
the chemical has been removed
from baby bottles and many
reusable drink containers in recent
years. The federal Food and Drug
Administration says BPAis safe as
used now in other food containers.
Most miscarriages are due to egg
or chromosome problems, and a
study in mice suggested BPAmight
inuence that risk, said Dr. Ruth
Lathi, a Stanford University repro-
ductive endocrinologist.
With a federal grant, she and
other researchers studied 115
newly pregnant women with a his-
tory of infertility or miscarriage;
68 wound up having miscarriages
and 47 had live births.
It may be that women with
higher BPA levels do have other
risk factors for miscarriage that
might be amplied by BPA, Lathi
said.
The study is not cause for alarm,
but its far from reassuring that
BPAis safe for such women, she
said.

BEHRAMPUR, India Mass
evacuations spared India the wide-
spread deaths many had feared from a
powerful cyclone that roared ashore
over the weekend, ofcials said
Sunday, as the country sorted through
the wreckage of ooded towns, tan-
gled power lines and tens of thou-
sands of destroyed thatch homes.
Cyclone Phailin, the strongest
storm to hit India in more than a
decade, destroyed hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars worth of crops, but
more than 20 hours after it made land-
fall in Orissa state on the countrys
east coast, authorities said they knew
of only 17 fatalities.
The nal death toll is expected to
climb further as ofcials reach areas
of the cyclone-battered coast that
remain isolated by downed communi-
cation links and blocked roads, but
the evacuation of nearly 1 million
people appeared to have saved many
lives.
Damage to property is exten-
sive, said Amitabh Thakur, the top
police ofcer in the Orissa district
worst-hit by the cyclone. But few
lives have been lost, he said, credit-
ing the mass evacuations.
On the highway to the seaside city
of Gopalpur, where the storm made
landfall early Saturday night, two
tractor-trailers with shattered wind-
shields were lying on their sides,
while a hotel nearby was in tatters,
with tables and chairs strewn about.
We were terried, A-1 Hotel
owner Mihar Ranjan said of himself
and 14 other people who had been
huddling inside when the wind ripped
the tin roof off the building.
On Sunday, Gopalpurs power lines
sagged nearly to the ground and a
strong surf churned off the coast. But
some shops were opened, doing
brisk business selling bottled drinks
and snacks, and locals expressed
relief that the damage wasnt worse.
A mermaid statue remained stand-
ing on Gopalpurs boardwalk, where
most decorative street lamps still
stood along with most of the citys
buildings.
Everyone feels very lucky, said
Prabhati Das, a 40-year-old woman
who came from the town of
Behrampur, about 10 kilometers (7
miles) inland, to see the aftermath at
the coast.
Acargo ship carrying iron ore, the
MV Bingo, sank Saturday as the
cyclone barreled through the Bay of
Bengal, and its crew of 18 includ-
ing 17 Chinese and one Indonesian
went missing for a day, coast guard
ofcials said. They were being res-
cued Sunday evening after their
lifeboat was found about 185 kilome-
ters (115 miles) off the Indian coast,
coast guard Commandant Sharad
Matri said.
Phailin weakened signicantly
after making landfall as a Category 4
storm, with sustained winds of up to
210 kilometers per hour (131 miles
per hour), according to Indian meteo-
rologists. Those numbers were
slightly lower than the last advisory
issued by the U.S. Navys Hawaii-
based Joint Typhoon Warning
Center, which reported maximum
sustained winds of about 222 kph
(138 mph) and gusts up to 268 kph
(167 mph) four hours before the
storm hit land.
Midday on Sunday, some areas
reported little more than breezy driz-
zles, with winds in some areas blow-
ing at 161 kph (100 mph).
Meteorologists warned that Orissa
and other states in the storms path
would face heavy rains, strong winds
and rough seas for several more hours.
Its intensity is still strong, but
after crossing the coast it has weak-
ened considerably, Sharat Sahu, a top
ofcial with the Indian
Meteorological Dept. in Orissa, told
reporters.
Indian ofcials spoke dismissively
of American forecasters who earlier
had warned of a record-breaking
cyclone that would drive a massive
wall of water perhaps as large as 9
meters high (30 feet high) into the
coastline.
They have been issuing warnings,
and we have been contradicting
them, said L.S. Rathore, director-
general of the Indian Meteorological
Department. That is all that I want to
say.
As a scientist, we have our own
opinion and we stuck to that. We told
them that is what is required as a
national weather service to keep
people informed with the reality with-
out being inuenced by over-warn-
ing, he said at a news conference in
New Delhi, the capital.
Predicting how massive storms
will develop is difcult in the Bay of
Bengal, where there are no tidal
gauges, ocean buoys or aircraft ying
into storms to measure winds direct-
l y. Instead, both U.S. and Indian
meteorologists rely on satellite
imagery to assess a storms strength
and path.

BAGHDAD First came the re-
ball, then the screams of the vic-
tims. The suicide bombing just
outside a Baghdad graveyard
knocked Nasser Waleed Ali over
and peppered his back with shrap-
nel.
Ali was one of the lucky ones. At
least 51 died in the Oct. 5 attack,
many of them Shiite pilgrims
walking by on their way to a
shrine. No one has claimed respon-
sibility, but there is little doubt al-
Qaidas local franchise is to blame.
Suicide bombers and car bombs are
its calling cards, Shiite civilians
among its favorite targets.
Al-Qaida has come roaring back
in Iraq since U.S. troops left in late
2011 and now looks stronger than
it has in years. The terror group has
shown it is capable of carrying out
mass-casualty attacks several
times a month, driving the death
toll in Iraq to the highest level in
half a decade. It sees each attack as
a way to cultivate an atmosphere of
chaos that weakens the Shiite-led
governments authority.
Recent prison breaks have bol-
stered al-Qaidas ranks, while feel-
ings of Sunni marginalization and
the chaos caused by the civil war in
neighboring Syria are fueling its
comeback.

BEIRUT Gunmen abducted
six Red Cross workers and a Syrian
Red Crescent volunteer after stop-
ping their convoy early Sunday in
northwestern Syria, a spokesman
said, in the latest high-prole kid-
napping in the countrys civil war.
Simon Schorno, a spokesman
for the International Committee of
the Red Cross in Damascus, said
the assailants snatched the seven
aid workers from their convoy
near the town of Saraqeb in Idlib
province around 11:30 a.m. local
time (0830 GMT) as the team was
returning to Damascus. He
declined to provide the nationali-
ties of the six ICRC employees,
and said it was not clear who was
behind the attack
Syrias state news agency, quot-
ing an anonymous ofcial, said
the gunmen opened fire on the
ICRC teams four vehicles before
seizing the Red Cross workers.
The news agency blamed terror-
ists, a term the government uses
to refer to those opposed to
President Bashar Assad.
Schorno said the team of seven
had been in the eld since Oct. 10
to assess the medical situation in
the area and to look at how to pro-
vide medical aid. He said the part
of northern Syria where they were
seized by denition is a difcult
area to go in, and the team was
traveling with armed guards.
Much of the countryside in Idlib
province, as well as the rest of
northern Syria, has fallen over the
past year into the hands of rebels,
many of them Islamic extremists,
and kidnappings have become
rife, particularly of aid workers
and foreign journalists.
Press freedom advocate
Reporters without Borders calls
Syria the most dangerous country
in the world for journalists, with
25 reporters killed and at least 33
imprisoned since the anti-Assad
uprising began in March 2011.
The conict also has taken a
toll on the aid community. The
ICRC said in August that 22
Syrian Red Crescent volunteers
have been killed in the country
since the conflict began. Some
were deliberately targeted, while
others killed in crossfire, the
group said.
Syrias bloody conflict has
killed more than 100,000 people,
forced more than 2 million
Syrians to ee the country and
caused untold suffering psycho-
logical, emotional and physical
across the nation.

OPINION 9
Dont confuse measures P and U
Editor,
On the ballot for the General
Municipal Election this Nov. 5, 2013,
voters will nd an initiative which asks
us to approve an increase that intends
to provide necessary nancial resources
for our community. This is a separate
issue from the Measure P initiative. The
funds will not come from individual
taxpayers but from businesses in Foster
City.
The citys business license tax has
not changed since 1972, even while the
cost of providing services has
increased. The city has strived to defer
the levying of a tax until absolutely
required which is why Foster City has
not adjusted the business license tax
previously. Now, as we look ahead, in
order to maintain the level of service
our businesses have become accus-
tomed to, and to protect the essential
services delivered to all those who live,
work and play here, it is critical to
move to a model that is more nancial-
ly sustainable.
The Chamber of Commerce has been
engaged with the city over the pro-
posed changes to the business license
tax since January. After reviewing the
proposal with businesses of varied size
and kind, the Chamber believes the
model proposed is reasonable and that
the interests of the business communi-
ty have been taken into consideration.
Measure U is not a tax levied upon
citizens but a license tax paid by busi-
nesses.
I ask that you vote yes to approve
the amendment to the business license
tax as proposed and appreciate the
value that the business community
plays on the experience we as residents
enjoy due to their contributions.

PVC pipes
Editor,
As a candidate for San Bruno City
Council, I am focused on lowering San
Brunos water and sewer rates. I have
proposed using PVC pipes instead of
ductile iron pipes to reduce costs.
During the League of Women Voters
Candidate Forum in San Bruno Oct. 2,
2013, incumbent Ken Ibarra said PVC
pipes were unsafe. It is important for
the public to know that PVC pipe usage
is safe. I spoke at the City Council
meeting Oct. 8 and reported the follow-
ing formation from the Uni-bell PVC
Association:
1. PVC pipes meet or exceed all
required health and safety standards and
regulations governed by the U.S. and
Canadian Safe Drinking Water Acts and
other international statutes. Its use is
monitored by independent agencies
like National Sanitaion Foundation
International, and government bodies
like the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency ensure its safety through
mandatory regular testing.
2. Over 40,000 North American water
utilities use PVC pipes today, and more
than one million miles of PVC pipes
are in service. About 78 percent of all
new drinking water distribution pipes
installed on the continent are PVC
pipes.

Fire them all
Editor,
It is time the American voter starts
voting for representatives who repre-
sent them. During this government
shutdown, while 800,000 federal work-
ers were on furlough with no pay,
Congress was paid their constitutional-
ly-protected salaries to the tune of
almost $2 million for seven days of
doing nothing.
Fire them all. It is time to vote for a
government that represents the people
and not the corporations who fund their
political campaigns for ofce.
Our country needs a new direction,
and voting for the lesser of two evils in
the form of the Democratic or
Republican Parties is a rigged game
played on us, the 99 percent.
So, remember this when its time to
vote vote your values not your fears,
and vote for an independent, not the
corpacracy government we have now.

C
alifornia cannot afford to bor-
row recklessly. The absence of
a vast state budget decit this
year does not mean the states enor-
mous long-term debt has vanished.
Legislators need to be sure that state
bond issues target only critical state
needs. And voters should reject bond
measures that do not meet that stan-
dard.
Anew report on the states debt from
state Treasurer Bill Lockyer says
California will spend less to repay bor-
rowing this scal year than it did last
year. The state general fund will spend
an estimated $7.5 billion on debt serv-
ice in 2013-14, a drop from the $8.6
billion the state paid last year. Lockyer
says that the states improved credit
rating helped trim borrowing costs,
and that California was able to re-
nance billions of dollars of bonds at
lower interest rates.
But those gures give California no
reason to relax vigilance over addition-
al borrowing. California already has a
heavy debt load. The report notes that
the states debt per capita is $2,565,
more than double the 50-state median
of $1,074 per person. As of June 30,
the states $96.3 billion general fund
was responsible for repaying $86.3
billion in outstanding long-term debt.
But that gure does not include an addi-
tional $36.5 billion in already author-
ized general fund bonds that the state
has not yet issued. Nor does it include a
proposed water bond that legislators
are drafting for the 2014 ballot.
And the state still faces a series of
nancial risks which urge caution in
adding to state debt, as the treasurer
noted. The states tax-receipt stream
remains highly volatile, for example,
with the potential for large swings
from year to year. The temporary taxes
that prop up this years budget also dis-
appear in 2019. Those two factors,
along with legislators penchant for
overspending, could easily mire the
state in huge decits once again.
The state also has a shortfall of more
than $180 billion over the next three
decades in covering often-lavish pub-
lic-worker retirement payouts. Even
with minor reforms legislators enacted
last year, the state faces huge and
expanding pension and retiree health
costs. Without further xes, those
expenses will consume an escalating
share of the general fund, pulling ever
more money away from public servic-
es.
In addition, the state has yet to repay
the borrowing legislators used to prop
up state budgets over the past decade.
The general fund owes nearly $27 bil-
lion to schools, local governments and
state special funds. That gure also
includes more than $5 billion still out-
standing on the $15 billion voters bor-
rowed in 2004 to help bridge budget
decits.
California should reserve its limited
borrowing capacity for legitimate pub-
lic needs, not boondoggles such as the
$3 billion for stem cell research in
2004 or the $9.95 billion for an unaf-
fordable, unnecessary bullet train in
2008. And legislators should avoid
larding bond measures with self-serv-
ing pork spending, as they did with the
water bond slated for the 2014 ballot.
The state does need to borrow occa-
sionally to ensure a functioning
transportation system or a reliable
water supply, for example. But legisla-
tors and voters should use that power
carefully, and not load taxpayers with
massive, needless debt.
Avoid more needless state debt
Time to
mend fences
W
hatever happens to Measure P, the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District bond on
the November ballot, the city of San Mateo and
the school district need to reconnect. Aharmonious and pro-
ductive relationship is a top priority for both local entities
and the community they serve.
***
When I joined the elementary school board in the 1970s,
Jane Baker became a member of the San Mateo City Council.
We were friends because we had once lived on the same block
(Sunset Terrace) where we raised our kids. Neither of us was
involved in politics then. But when we became electeds we
decided to forge a relationship between the school district
and the council. We sat down with then superintendent Dave
Thomas and city manager Dick
DeLong and agreed the two bod-
ies should meet on a regular
(once a year) basis. The rst
agenda dealt with updates on
major issues and possible con-
icts. The joint use of city and
school recreation facilities was
controversial among staff,
some of whom were actually
hostile to the other. The good
relationship forged helped us
develop a joint use policy and
to avoid a contentious battle
over redevelopment funds
whereby the school district was
destined to lose much-needed revenue to the citys redevelop-
ment agency. San Mateo helped the district make up some of
the loss.
When I became a councilmember, we resurrected the prac-
tice of joint meetings. Crossing guards were the issue.
Traditionally, the city paid for them but as San Mateo was
experiencing its own budget woes, some councilmembers
wanted to stop the practice. The matter was settled and good
relations prevailed.
***
The school district also had a rough history with some
members of the Foster City Council. At the time, Foster City
had three district schools, Bowditch Middle and Audubon and
Foster City elementary schools. The latter was housed in
portables (now new buildings.) Foster City councilwoman
Eileen Larsen and some of her colleagues did not want Foster
City children bused to San Mateo schools. Knolls and
Lakeshore both housed predominantly Foster City children.
As Proposition 13 depleted the districts revenue and the
school population was declining, many schools were shut
including Knolls and Lakeshore in addition to Buena Vista,
Peninsula, Beresford, Turnbull middle school and Lawrence
(Lawrence was shut because of its location in the path of a
potential devastating ood if Crystal Springs Dam ever
became unplugged due to a major earthquake).
The result was that most Foster City children were now
attending school in Foster City. Meanwhile, San Mateos
predominantly African-American North Central neighbor-
hood lost its neighborhood schools. Turnbull was turned
into preschool, head start, and kindergarten while Lawrence
was torn down and became the site of commercial and resi-
dential property. Most North Central children were bused to
schools throughout San Mateo. This was to address integra-
tion concerns but black parents worried about their childrens
isolation in all-white schools and wanted their neighbor-
hood schools back. Except for preschool and kindergarten,
this hasnt happened. Today Turnbull, now College Park
Elementary, is a magnet Mandarin immersion school and
houses several preschool and kindergarten classes.
***
North Central students were never bused to Foster City
because Foster City was considered already integrated. Most
of the African-American residents of North Central who had
good-paying jobs moved to Foster City. The new residents
of North Central were Hispanic. As the student population
began to increase in San Mateo (and in Foster City), some of
the popular schools in San Mateo found they could not
accommodate all neighborhood children or siblings.
Meanwhile, students were bused in from North Central.
Parents asked why Foster City schools did not host some of
the North Central children, too. But Foster City schools were
also full and the city was already integrated.
***
Relations between Foster City and the San Mateo Union
High School District were also strained because a site was set
aside for a high school on the citys original map. The high
school district could not afford to build and run a new high
school. Besides, polls showed that Foster City teens liked
attending San Mateo High School. The bad feelings spilled
over into Foster City-San Mateo relations and prevented a
merger of the two re departments. Happily, today, most, but
not all, of these issues no longer exist. But the upcoming
bond issue has opened up old wounds. The two entities the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District Board of
Trustees and the San Mateo City Council need to resume a
formal structure of meeting periodically and working collab-
oratively for the good of their citizens. I am sure the council
and the school board would agree.

By Chistopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Negotiations
in Congress to raise the nations
borrowing limit are up against a
deadline of Thursday. If the limit
isnt raised by then, the govern-
ment will no longer have authority
to borrow to pay its bills.
So what happens if Thursday
comes and goes and the limit isnt
raised?
The scary thing is, no one really
knows. Going past the deadline
would be unprecedented.
The possible consequences are
complex. But none are good. The
gravest threat is that the govern-
ment would soon fail to make
interest payments on its debt. Any
missed payment would trigger a
default.
Financial markets would sink.
Social Security checks would be
delayed. Eventually, the economy
would almost surely slip into
another nancial crisis and reces-
sion.
Even if the government managed
to make its interest payments,
fears about a default could cause
investors to dump Treasurys and
send U.S. borrowing rates soaring.
Here are questions and answers
about the governments borrowing
limit:
Q. What exactly is it?
A. The borrowing limit is a cap
on how much debt the government
can accumulate to pay its bills. The
government borrows in most years
because its spending has long
exceeded its revenue. The rst bor-
rowing limit was enacted in 1917.
Since 1962, Congress has raised
the borrowing limit 77 times. It
now stands at $16.7 trillion.
Q. When will we reach the limit?
A. The national debt actually
reached the limit in May. Since
then, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
has made accounting moves to
continue financing the govern-
ment without further borrowing.
But Lew says those measures will
be exhausted by Thursday. The
government will then have to pay
its bills from its cash on hand
an estimated $30 billion and
tax revenue.
Q. So what happens after
Thursday?
A. The government could pay its
bills for a few days. But sometime
between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, the
cash on hand and tax revenue
wouldnt be sufcient, according
to the Congressional Budget
Ofce. The date isnt exact because
its impossible to foresee precise-
ly how much revenue the govern-
ment will receive and when.
Q. When it runs out of cash, does
the government default?
A. No, not right away. Adefault
would occur if the government
fails to make a principal or interest
payment on any of its Treasurys.
The first interest payment after
Thursdays deadline is a $6 billion
payment due Oct. 31.
Many experts think that to
avoid a default, Treasury would
make payments on the debt its top
priority.
We believe the government
would continue to pay interest and
principal on its debt even in the
event that the debt limit is not
raised, leaving its creditworthi-
ness intact, says Moodys
Investors Service, a credit rating
agency.
But that is the subject of intense
dispute in Washington. The House
has approved a bill to require such
prioritization. The Senate hasnt
passed it, though. And President
Barack Obama has threatened to
veto it.
Without an increase in the bor-
rowing limit, the government
couldnt pay other obligations on
time, such as Social Security bene-
ts, bills from government con-
tractors and Medicare reimburse-
ments. Those payments are also
legal obligations, Lew argues, and
failure to pay them would essen-
tially be equivalent to a default.
In any case, making some pay-
ments and not others is harder than
it might sound. Treasury makes
roughly 100 million payments a
month. Nearly all are automated.
Lew says the Treasurys computer
systems arent equipped to choose
some and not others among all
those outgoing checks.
And without cash in reserve, any
minor glitch could cause Treasury
to miss a debt payment and
default.
Treasury would do everything
in their power to not miss a debt
payment, says Donald Marron, an
economist at the Urban Institute
and a former economic adviser to
President George W. Bush. But
when youre in untested waters
under a great deal of stress, bad
things happen.
Q. What other problems might
be raised by prioritization?
A. Consider the legal and politi-
cal obstacles. The government is
legally obligated to pay its con-
tractors. If not, the contractors
could sue for non-payment. And
how long would members of
Congress stand by as Treasury
holders in China and other nations
were paid interest, while payments
to U.S. veterans and Social
Security recipients were delayed?
Q. How would investors react if
the government made its interest
payments but fell behind on other
obligations?
A. Badly, most economists say.
If the government couldnt pay
veterans benets, federal employ-
ee salaries or other bills, investors
would almost certainly demand
higher interest rates at future
Treasury auctions. That would
drive up the cost to taxpayers of
servicing the governments debt.
A failure to pay any obligation
would severely damage percep-
tions of our creditworthiness,
says David Kelly, chief global
strategist at JPMorgan Funds.
Each week, the government
issues new short-term debt and
uses the proceeds to pay off matur-
ing debt. This step doesnt
increase total debt. So it would
still be allowed even if the borrow-
ing limit wasnt raised. But its
possible that not enough
investors would want to buy the
new debt. That would leave the
government short of cash to pay
off its maturing debt. The result: a
default.
Q. What else could Treasury do?
A. It could make its interest pay-
ments rst then delay all other
payments until it collects enough
tax revenue to make a full days
payments. That would avoid
choosing among competing obli-
gations. Treasury ofcials favored
this approach during the last bor-
rowing-limit fight in 2011 ,
according the Treasury
Departments inspector general.
But that approach would eventu-
ally cause extensive delays. On
Nov. 1, nearly $60 billion in
Social Security benets, Medicare
payments and military paychecks
are due. With no increase in the
borrowing limit, those payments
could be delayed for up to two
weeks.
What happens if US breaks borrowing limit?
Q&A
LOS ANGELES Dozens of
medical marijuana dispensaries in
Los Angeles have closed, and the
city attorney says more will be
shutting their doors soon, follow-
ing a voter-approved crackdown.
Thirty-eight pot shops that do not
comply with a municipal ballot
measure approved earlier this year
are in the process of being shuttered,
City Attorney Mike Feuer said.
Another 42 shops have decided on
their own to close since July, when
the new law took effect, he said.
Feuer promised Friday more prose-
cutions will come.
Were going to see a major differ-
ence in the way that operators and
property owners perceive the city,
he told the Los Angeles Times
(http://lat.ms/17w3vyp ).
The city had struggled for more
than ve years with how to regulate
the budding medical marijuana
industry. Voters in May overwhelm-
ingly passed Measure D, which
reduced the number of shops
sharply, and taxed those that were
operating legally under state and
local laws.
There were nearly 1,000 nonprot
dispensaries in the city a few years
ago. The measure allows only the
134 that opened before a moratori-
um was attempted in 2007.
Shops that meet the voter-
approved criteria must move if
theyre located within 600 feet of a
park, a school or a child-care facili-
t y.
To date, no pot shop operators or
landlords who also can be prose-
cuted under the law have been
jailed or ned, Feuer said.
City councilors passed an ordi-
nance in 2010 to cut the number of
shops to 70, but dispensaries led
lawsuits and the ordinance expired in
2012. The city then approved a ban,
but repealed it two months later after
enough signatures were gathered to
put Measure D and two competing
proposals on the ballot.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
We believe the appropriate term
for the Menlo College womens
soccer team right now is on re.
The Lady Oaks once again won
in impressive fashion on
Wunderlich Field Saturday as they
tallied their seventh consecutive
win via a 6-2 drubbing of Simpson
University.
The Lady Oaks were aided by a
pair of multi-goal performances
from Victoria Piazza (13th and
25th minutes) and Danielle
McCarthy (64th and 75th min-
utes) as four different players got
in on the scoring action Saturday.
Despite the lopsided final,
Simpson was rst on the board in
the game courtesy of a Natalie
Goens goal off a free kick in the
9th minute of play. It was the rst
time Menlo trailed in a game since
Sept. 21.
But Piazza notched the rst of
her two first-half goals off a
Natalie Ingram assist in the 13th
minute. The junior from Tracy,
Calif. wasn't done yet, however,
as she worked herself into perfect
position in the box to drive home
a deected shot in the 24th minute
for her second goal of the game
and third of the season.
Menlo scored one more time in
the rst half when Raquel DeJesus
red a penalty kick past Simpson
keeper Natasha Webb in the 32nd
minute to send the Lady Oaks into
the break leading 3-1.
Simpson again was rst on the
board in the second half Natalie
Goens scored off the assist from
Kendra Kaiserman in the 47th
minute, but that would conclude
the scoring effort for the Red
Hawks. Menlo quickly answered
in the 50th minute when Tiare
Fuentes scored off the assist from
Rielle Dopke to make it 4-2.
McCarthy took over from there
scoring a pair of unassisted goals
in the 64th and 75th minutes to
run the score to 6-2. McCarthy
now leads the Lady Oaks with six
goals this season.
The win improves Menlo's cur-
rent winning streak to seven

A trip to paradise got off to a
rocky start for the Notre Dame de
Namur soccer teams.
The Lady Argos, who will spend
the next four games (10 days) in
Hawaii, were shut out in a 1-0 loss
to Hawaii Pacific University in
what marks NDNUs second
straight game without a goal no
goals against Fresno Pacific
resulted in one point and a draw.
It was a frustrating loss for
NDNU considering that, defen-
sively, they played well enough
with Amy Rich and her eight saves
leading the way.
But a late goal in the 89th
minute on a self-volley by Ashlyn
Ubongen was the difference in the
game. Ubongen gave the Argos
problems the entire afternoon
with four total shots on goal
the last of which went into the net.
Still, overall it was a rocky start
for the Argos offensively. For the
game, they only forced Hawaii
Pacific goalkeeper Anu Kahele-
Manners to make a pair a saves
while attempting 11 total shots.
Former PacWest Player of the
Week Adriana Cortes had NDNUs
best chance to score in the rst
half when her shot was saved by
Kahele-Manners in the 25th
minute. Both Argo shots on goal
came in the rst half.
The loss drops Notre Dame de
Namur to 4-6-1 overall and 2-2 in
PacWest play. Their stay in Hawaii
continues with three games next
week against University of
Hawaii-Hilo, BYU Hawaii and
Chaminade University respective-
l y. Notre Dame is winless away
from their home eld in Belmont.
NDNU returns to California and
Belmont Oct. 24 in a game against
Azusa Pacic University.

SAN FRANCISCO Everybody
on the San Francisco 49ers under-
stood the plan perfectly: Get the
ball to Vernon Davis.
He lined up as a wide receiver and
in his natural spot at tight end. He
made an acrobatic, over-the-shoul-
der catch on the sideline even
coach Jim Harbaugh thought was
nearly impossible, and Davis went
straight over the middle for big
gains, too.
Davis caught touchdown passes
of 61 and 35 yards and nished
with a career-best 180 yards
receiving, leading the 49ers past
the Arizona Cardinals 32-20 on
Sunday for their third straight vic-
tory.
Its just one of those days,
when youre in the zone, Davis
said. Its a beautiful thing.
If Davis keeps this up, perhaps
San Francisco can stop worrying
about the passing game until
Michael Crabtree returns from
injury as soon as next month.
Colin Kaepernick threw for 252
yards and Frank Gore rushed for
101 yards on 25 carries for his sec-
ond 100-yard game of the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Raiders
coach Dennis Allen insists that
Terrelle Pryor is growing with
every play in the NFL, even the
ones that end up with the young
quarterback at on his back.
There were 10 of those on
Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs brought
a relentless blitz against
Oaklands patchwork offensive
line, making life miserable for
Pryor all afternoon.
He wound up throwing three sec-
ond-half interceptions that proved
costly in a 24-7 defeat that ended
the Raiders six-game win streak at
Arrowhead Stadium.
I think its a great learning
experience for him, Allen said,
and I think hell be better for it
when he gets put back in this type
of environment again.
The 10 sacks were a factor in the
game. The interceptions made the
difference.

games and improves its record to 7-1 (4-0).
They remain the only unbeaten team in the
Cal Pac.
MENS SOCCER WINS
The Menlo men also welcomed Simpson
University to Wunderlich eld for its rst
home contest in the month of October on
Saturday and a dominating all-around per-
formance from the Oaks sent the Red Hawks
home with a 3-1 loss.
Andrew Cota set the pace for the Oaks
offense with goals in the 11th and 18th
minutes for his fourth two-goal performance
of the 2013 season. Cota now ranks fourth
in the Cal Pac with a team-leading 10 goals
this season.
Former San Mateo Bearcat and All-Daily
Journal team member Ryan Onizuka got the
Oaks on the board early with an unassisted
goal in just the third minute of play. The
goal was the fourth of the season for the
freshman who is now second on the team in
total goals behind only Cota.
The rst of Cotas two goals came off a
free kick in the 11th minute. Just minutes
later, Tung Le chipped in his second career
assist as a Menlo Oak and Cota did the rest
to cash in for a goal in the 18th minute to
put the Oaks on top 3-0.
From that point forward the Menlo
defense denied nearly every scoring oppor-
tunity for the Red Hawks en route to the win.
Simpson managed to get on the board
with an Efrain Solorzano goal off a penalty
kick in the 52nd minute but that was all the
scoring Simpson could muster as they fell
to 0-11 on the season.
The winning performance improves
Menlo to 5-3-2 on the season and 4-2 in
conference play, good for rst place in the
Cal Pacs north division.

MENLO
off a six-game home stand with a 2-2 draw.
The result was positive considering Notre
Dame was coming off a 6-0 loss to Fresno
Pacic University and runs NDNUs record
to 4-5-2 and 1-2-2 in PacWest play.
The game was played under muddy condi-
tions and just 4:37 in to the game, HPU
defender Daniel Haehre played a long pass
from Marius Stensby, drawing a penalty
kick after a rough foul in the box. Pacic
West Conference goals leader Brais Garcia
would put the penalty away to give HPU an
early 1-0 lead.
The Sea Warriors struck again with less
than a minute remaining in the half when
freshman Erik Kemsies beat the Argonauts
goalkeeper after receiving a pass from
Felipe Silva. The 2-0 lead would hold until
the break.
But the Argos would not take that decit
laying down. In the second half, NDNU
struck early tying the game with goals in
the 47th and 56th minutes.
Jonathan Gonzalez did the honors for the
rst goal after he nished a Tyler Matas
cross with a one-touch score. The goal was
Gonzalezs fth of the season.
Less than 10 minutes later, Patrick
Balderramos took advantage of a loose ball
after a corner kick and equalized for his rst
goal of the year.
Both sides had its chances in the remain-
der of the period, but each keeper made a pair
of tough saves down the stretch to keep
their teams in it.
After a pair of scoreless overtime periods,
the game would end in a 2-2 tie and both
teams did not score a goal in both overtime
periods.
The Argos stay in Hawaii for another three
games next week. The NDNU men have also
yet to record a winning result away from
home.
ARGOS
were tied 7-all in the third quarter when
Pryor threw the first of his picks, a rain-
bow off his back foot into the middle of
the field. Jamaal Charles finished off the
drive with his second touchdown run to
give Kansas City its first lead of the
game.
The second interception came as the
Raiders (2-4) were trying to drive for a
tying score, and this time the Chiefs
Ryan Succop kicked a 33-yard field goal
late in the fourth quarter.
Husain Abdullah returned the final pick
44 yards for a touchdown with 1:35 left in
the game.
We were right there in the game and we
were punching back and forth, Pryor
said. We turned the ball over, and like I
said, I lost the game for us. Im going to
fall a lot, but Im going to get up. Thats
how it is. Im going to get up and Im
going to come swinging.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, pressed on with
the second-best start in franchise history
after winning just twice last season. They
won their first nine games during the
2003 season.
They wound up sacking Pryor 10 times,
and ended a three-game skid to the
Raiders.
We dont take any wins for granted.
Thats not how we operate, Chiefs coach
Andy Reid said. Were going to enjoy
every one of these, and well come back
and be ready to go next week.
Chiefs fans were hoping to break the
record for loudest outdoor sports stadium,
set earlier this year by the Seahawks.
They finally did it in the closing seconds
of the game when they hit 137.5 decibels,
an official from Guinness World Records
told The Associated Press.
Pryor and his patchwork offensive line
struggled to deal with the crowd noise,
especially in the second half.
On one possession, Pryor was twice
whistled for delay of game penalties part-
ly because third-string center Mike
Brisiel couldnt hear him. Oakland also
had a false start on the same drive.
The Raiders finished with 11 penalties
for 68 yards.
It was a factor in the game, Allen said
of the crowd. Obviously we had some
trouble getting in and out of the huddle.
We had some trouble with snap-count
communication.
RAIDERS
Kendall Hunter ran for a 6-yard touchdown
that sealed it for the 49ers (4-2) with 6:35
remaining.
Rookie safety Eric Reid made his team-
leading third interception and also recov-
ered a fumble to stop an Arizona drive deep
in 49ers territory in the third quarter. San
Francisco forced four turnovers for the sec-
ond straight game.
Theres a direct correlation to winning
games in the National Football League
when you get those turnovers, safety
Donte Whitner said.
A tough day for Arizona (3-3) became
frightening when the Cardinals lost star
defensive end Calais Campbell to an
unspecied injury late.
For the 49ers, this balanced offensive
performance was something they have
searched for from Week 1.
Im going to give Vernon his chances
when I can, said Kaepernick, who got back
on track after four straight games of fewer
than 200 yards passing. He makes a lot of
great plays.
Carson Palmer was 25 of 41 for 298 yards
with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Larry
Fitzgerald, but inconsistent play plagued
Arizonas offense again.
Trailing 22-14 late in the second quarter,
the Cardinals missed a big opportunity to
take momentum into halftime.
Michael Floyd was agged for offensive
pass interference when he pushed Tarell
Brown out of the way before making what
would have been a 44-yard touchdown catch.
Floyd redeemed himself with a 10-yard TD
reception midway through the third quarter
when he got by Brown in the left corner of
the end zone. But Arizona failed on a 2-
point conversion try, leaving the 49ers up
22-20.
The Cardinals much-improved defense
took a big blow when Campbell was carted
off with 4:56 left. He was hurt when he land-
ed awkwardly on a tackle of Gore.
He left the eld with movement and the
feeling was coming back, coach Bruce
Arians said. He had numbness. It was pre-
cautionary.
Fitzgerald didnt seem hampered by a ten-
der hamstring when he got between two
defenders as the 49ers tried for another
interception, and his touchdown put
Arizona ahead 7-6 late in the rst quarter.
There was some question whether
Fitzgerald would play, with the Cardinals
gearing up for two games in a five-day
stretch. The Seahawks visit the desert
Thursday night. But he played in his 96th
straight game.
49ERS
By Jimmy Golen
BOSTON David Ortiz revived the
Red Sox with a tying grand slam in the
eighth inning, then Jarrod Saltalamacchia
hit a winning single in the ninth as
Boston stunned the Detroit Tigers 6-5
Sunday night to even the AL champi-
onship series at 1-all.
The Tigers were cruising to their second
straight win at Fenway Park, with starter
Max Scherzer taking a no-hitter and a 5-0
lead into the sixth inning.
But with one swing, Big Papi ipped
everything. Ortiz hit a two-out shot that
sent right elder Torii Hunter jack-kning
into the Boston bullpen in a futile attempt
to catch the ball, making it 5-up.
Saltalamacchias single came after a
series of Tigers misplays in the ninth. A
wild throw, a wild pitch and a missed catch
by rst baseman Prince Fielder on a foul
ball set up the game-ending hit.
The teams head to Detroit for Game 3 on
Tuesday. Justin Verlander will face
Bostons John Lackey.
Bostons big comeback followed a dra-
matic New England Patriots victory right
down the road in which Tom Brady threw
the game-winning touchdown pass with 5
seconds left to beat New Orleans. The
score was greeted with cheers by Red Sox
fans waiting for the baseball game to start.
A day after Anibal Sanchez and the
Detroit staff combined on a one-hitter for
a 1-0 win, Scherzer excelled. He fanned 13
while allowing two hits in seven innings,
and was pulled after 108 pitches.
Its playoff baseball, Tigers manager
Jim Leyland said. Looked like we had
one in hand and we let one get away,
theres no question about that. But there
have been two great games.
Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila homered
off Clay Buchholz in Detroits four-run
sixth inning.
Boston scored once in the bottom of the
sixth and then loaded the bases against
three relievers in the eighth before closer
Joaquin Benoit came in to face Ortiz.
On his rst pitch, Ortiz hit a line drive
into the glove of the Red Sox bullpen
catcher, with Hunter opping headrst
over the chest-high wall in pursuit.
The fans waited until the trainers veried
that Hunter was OK to start chanting,
Papi! and call the Red Sox slugger out
of the dugout for a curtain call.
It was the rst career postseason grand
slam for Ortiz, a star of the 2004 playoff
run that ended in Bostons rst World
Series title in 86 years.
When you consider down four runs, not
a very likely scenario that you come back
from that many runs that late in the
game, Red Sox manager John Farrell
said.
Koji Uehara pitched a perfect ninth for
the win. Rick Porcello took the loss.
Jonny Gomes led off the bottom half
against Porcello with groundball to the
left of shortstop Jose Iglesias, a defensive
replacement. The former Red Sox prospect
elded it but rushed the throw and it
bounced past Fielder and into the Boston
dugout as Gomes slid headrst into the
bag with an ineld hit.
With Gomes on second because of the
error, Saltalamacchia hit a high popup
near the rolled-up tarp that bounced off
Fielders glove.
Afan reached up trying to catch the foul.
Fielder looked as if he wanted an interfer-
ence call replays showed he simply let
the ball glance off his glove.
Gomes took third on Porcellos wild
pitch and Saltalamacchia hit a sharp
grounder through the left side of the
drawn-in ineld to set off a celebration on
the Fenway ineld.
Scherzer, who led the majors with 21
wins, struck out 13 and did not allow a hit
until Shane Victorino singled to left with
two outs in the sixth.
It was an unprecedented third consecu-
tive playoff game in which a Tigers starter
took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning.

MILLBRAE I
recently received a
phone call from a
local realtor who
was shocked to find
an urn with
cremated remains
located in the closet
of an empty house under renovation. He
had been told by someone working on the
property to just throw these cremated
remains into a dumpster, which didnt seem
right, and he wanted my advice. I told him
that under no circumstances are cremated
remains to be thrown into a dumpster. In
cases where unidentified human remains are
discovered, the County Coroners Office is
to be notified so they can investigate and
determine the appropriate course of action.
Discovering unidentified or seemingly
abandoned cremated remains is disturbing
but not uncommon. Stories of cremated
remains being found on their own in an
unoccupied house or apartment is a problem
that is significant and needs to be addressed.
Ive met with countless families at the
Chapel of the Highlands whove selected
cremation as the final disposition. Even
though these families have decided on
cremation, this is still not the final step of
the process. The next-of-kin is required to
inform us on where the cremated remains
are to go after the physical cremation has
taken place. The cremated remains can
either to be inurned in a cemetery, scattered
at sea or taken to the residence of the next-
of-kin. Those who select to keep the
cremated remains at home feel a desire to
have their loved ones ashes close to them,
or simply have not decided on a final
location to place their loved ones cremains.
The key concept for these families to
understand is that keeping cremated remains
at home is a temporary solution and not a
final destination. Some may think that the
cremated remains will be passed down to
following generations and cared for in their
family, but this idea is not being realistic. It
is important to be prepared with a plan to
place the cremated remains in a more
permanent location such as a cemetery or
having them scattering at sea. At the Chapel
of the Highlands we regularly assist families
by guiding them toward a comfortable
solution when these types of situations come
up. Even after long periods with cremated
remains being kept at home we can always
help families in making the correct decisions
and to plan for the future.
Remember, if cremated remains are kept
at home, no matter how well intended,
unforeseen situations can and do come up.
The next-of-kin, who has custody of the
cremated remains, may become ill or pass
away without leaving instructions on what to
do if the cremated remains are left behind.
No matter what the situation you can call us
at the Chapel of the Highlands and we will
help in finding an appropriate solution for
placement of the cremated remains.
If you are still keeping cremated remains
at home please plan a permanent disposition
by leaving instructions in a will, with family
or an executor. This will help insure that the
cremains will be given a final resting place
and shown the respect they deserve.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

ST. LOUIS Star shortstop
Hanley Ramirez was a late lineup
scratch for the Los Angeles
Dodgers in Game 2 of the NL
championship series because of
sore ribs that hindered his swing,
and his availability was in doubt
for Game 3.
Manager Don Mattingly
learned X-rays were negative dur-
ing Saturdays 1-0 loss to the St.
Louis Cardinals put them down 2-
0 in the best-of-seven series.
I dont know what that means
at this point, Mattingly said.
If he can move and be able to
swing the bat, then hed be able
to play.
So, I dont know where thats
going to go.
A CT scan was scheduled for
Sunday, a day off for both teams.
Ramirez was hit by a pitch in the
ribs in the first inning of Game
1 .
It hurts, Ramirez said. We
just want to make sure we do
everything we can do to fix it.
Ramirez batted .500 (8 for 16)
in the division series against
Atlanta, tying the NL division
record with six extra-base hits,
with a homer and six RBIs.
Lingering soreness
Andre Ethier was out with lin-
gering soreness after making his
first postseason start in Game 1
and playing 13 innings in center
field. Ethier struck out pinch-hit-
ting to end the game.
Earlier in the day, Mattingly
had described Ramirez as iffy
and a gametime decision. Not
long after Ramirez made a leap-
ing catch on a soft liner by Matt
Holliday in the bottom of the
first Friday night, he was bent
over in the dugout and getting
medical attention.
Ramirez said the decision was
made at the last minute.
I was trying to go all day,
Ramirez said. I tried to hit and
it didnt work the way we wanted
it to work.
In place of Ethier
Skip Schumaker started in cen-
ter field in place of Ethier and
Nick Punto started at shortstop,
batting seventh and eighth.
Carl Crawford and Mark Ellis
remained in the top two spots of
the order and the rest moved up a
slot with Adrian Gonzalez bat-
ting third and Yasiel Puig at
cleanup.
Puig struck out all four at-bats
and is 0 for 10 the first two
games.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Bradys
17-yard touchdown pass to Kenbrell
Thompkins with 5 seconds left gave the
New England Patriots a wild 30-27 win and
knocked the New Orleans Saints from the
ranks of the unbeaten Sunday.
It capped a 70-yard drive in which the
Patriots marched downeld with no timeouts
after getting the ball with 1:08 to go.
The Saints (5-1) had taken a 24-23 lead
with 3:29 remaining on Drew Brees 34-yard
touchdown pass to Kenny Stills, but could-
nt put away New England.
The Patriots (5-1) survived an intercep-
tion by Keenan Lewis on their rst snap
after Garrett Hartleys 39-yard eld goal
made it 27-23.
PACKERS 19, RAVENS 17
BALTIMORE Aaron Rodgers threw a
64-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson,
Mason Crosby kicked four eld goals and
Green Bay held on to beat Baltimore.
Eddie Lacy rushed for 120 yards to fuel the
Packers rst road win of the season. Green
Bay (3-2) took a 16-3 lead into the fourth
quarter and was up 19-10 with 4 minutes left,
but the Ravens (3-3) kept coming back.
After Baltimore closed to 19-17 on an 18-
yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to
Dallas Clark with 2:04 remaining, Rodgers
clinched the victory with a 52-yard comple-
tion to Jermichael Finley on a third-and-3.
Rodgers went 17 for 32 for 315 yards.
Despite playing without injured line-
backer Clay Matthews, the Packers limited
Baltimore to 47 yards rushing and registered
ve sacks, including three by A.J. Hawk.
The defending Super Bowl champion
Ravens had won 13 straight at home against
NFC foes.
BRONCOS 35, JAGUARS 19
DENVER Peyton Manning threw for
two scores and Knowshon Moreno ran for
three to lead Denver to a tougher-than-
expected victory over winless Jacksonville.
The Broncos (6-0) came in as 27-point
favorites, and much of the pregame hype
centered on whether theyd cover the spread
and when Manning would come out of the
game.
Neither happened.
Manning nished 28 for 42 for 295 yards,
but lost two fumbles and threw a pick-6 a
59-yard interception return by Paul
Posluszny that pulled the Jaguars (0-6) with-
in 14-12 at halftime.
It was a two-point game late in the third
quarter, before Moreno scored his last touch-
down, an 8-yard run, for a 28-19 lead.
Moreno nished with 42 yards.
Justin Blackmon had 14 catches for 190
yards for Jacksonville.
STEELERS 19, JETS 6
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Ben
Roethlisberger threw a 55-yard touchdown
pass to Emmanuel Sanders, Shaun Suisham
kicked four eld goals, and Pittsburgh won
its rst game of the season.
The Steelers (1-4) were off to their worst
start since 1968, when they lost their rst
six games during a season in which they n-
ished 2-11-1. Sundays victory was also the
600th in franchise history, including the
postseason, as Pittsburgh became only the
fourth team to reach the milestone.
Pittsburgh was coming off a bye-week
break and appeared quite a bit sharper than
New York (3-3), which had a short week to
prepare after a 30-28 win at Atlanta last
Monday night.
Geno Smith was intercepted twice by a
Steelers defense that entered the game as the
only team in the league without a takeaway.
PANTHERS 35, VIKINGS 10
MINNEAPOLIS Cam Newton threw
three touchdown passes and ran for another
score, and Carolina romped past Adrian
Peterson and Minnesota.
Peterson nished with 62 yards on 10 car-
ries and 21 yards on three receptions, but the
Vikings (1-4) trailed the whole game and
didnt have much use after halftime for
Peterson. The NFLMVPlearned Friday that a
2-year-old son of his died in South Dakota of
injuries from alleged abuse.
Matt Cassel threw two interceptions, both
to Mike Mitchell, and the Panthers (2-3)
responded each time with a touchdown.
Whether the team was distracted by the
tragedy or not, the Vikings were thoroughly
embarrassed on both sides of the ball.
RAMS 38, TEXANS 13
HOUSTON Sam Bradford threw three
touchdown passes, St. Louis added a score
on defense and special teams and the Rams
stunned mistake-prone Houston.
The Rams (3-3) were up 24-6 early in the
third quarter before rookie Daren Bates
returned Keshawn Martins fumble on a kick-
off return for a touchdown.
Alec Ogletree pushed the lead to 38-6
when he took an interception by T.J. Yates
back 98 yards for a touchdown. Yates was in
after Matt Schaub sustained an apparent
right ankle injury.
Schaub didnt have a turnover after throw-
ing six interceptions, three of them returned
for touchdowns in the past three games.
But several other Texans had key gaffes as
preseason Super Bowl hopeful Houston (2-
4) lost its fourth straight game.
SEAHAWKS 20, TITANS 13
SEATTLE Marshawn Lynch ran for two
touchdowns and had 155 all-purpose yards,
Richard Sherman came up with his third
interception of the season, and Seattle nal-
ly shook Tennessee in the fourth quarter.
Seattle (5-1) won its 11th straight at home
despite a long list of mistakes that allowed
the Titans (3-3) to hang around into the
fourth. There was a careless turnover, missed
defensive assignments and a comical muffed
eld goal attempt that led to the Titans only
touchdown on the nal play of the rst half.
But the Seahawks made enough plays
thanks to Lynch, quarterback Russell
Wilson and Shermans interception to
remain on top of the NFC West. Lynch had
TD runs of 3 yards and 1 yard.
BENGALS 27, BILLS 24 OT
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Mike Nugent
hit a 43-yard eld goal with 6:44 left in
overtime.
Brandon Tates 29-yard punt return to the
Bills 33 set up the decisive score. Andy
Dalton went 26 of 40 for 337 yards, with
three touchdowns and an interception. He
bounced back after a two-game touchdown
drought and led the Bengals (4-2) to their
rst road win of the season.
The Bills (2-4) were led by quarterback
Thad Lewis, starting in place of injured
rookie EJ Manuel. Lewis went 19 of 32 for
216 yards and two touchdowns after being
promoted off the practice squad last week.
Both touchdown passes came in the fourth
quarter, including a 40-yarder to Marquise
Goodwin with 1:08 remaining.
Lewis also scored a touchdown rushing in
making only his second career start.
LIONS 31, BROWNS 17
CLEVELAND Matthew Stafford threw
three of his four touchdown passes in the
second half, rallying Detroit.
The Lions (4-2) outscored the Browns 24-
0 in the second half, sealing their win when
Stafford hooked up with tight end Joseph
Fauria with 2:01 left. Fauria caught three TD
passes for the Lions, who played like a com-
pletely different team in the second half after
being dominated up front and trailing 17-7
at the half.
The Browns (3-3) had their chances at a
comeback end when quarterback Brandon
Weedens bafing shovel pass with 4:36 left
was intercepted by linebacker DeAndre
Levy.
Lions running back Reggie Bush nished
with 135 total yards, 121 in the second half.
Stafford nished 25 of 43 for 248 yards.
EAGLES 31, BUCCANEERS 20
TAMPA, Fla. Nick Foles threw three
touchdown passes and ran for a fourth, lead-
ing Philadelphia over winless Tampa Bay.
Foles nished a long rst-quarter scoring
drive with a 4-yard run and threw TD passes
of 12 and 36 yards to DeSean Jackson.
With the injured Michael Vick active but
not playing, Foles made his seventh career
start and beat the Bucs (0-5) for the second
time. He was 1-5 as a rookie a year ago, with
that victory also coming at Tampa Bay.
But unlike last December, he didnt have
to throw a last-second TD pass for the win.
He gave the Eagles (3-3) the lead for good
with a 47-yard scoring pass to Riley Cooper
in the third quarter, then gave his team
breathing room with his second TD pass to
Jackson.

NHL GLANCE TRANSACTIONS
By Schuyler Dixon
ARLINGTON, Texas Dwayne
Harris and the Dallas defense were
so good that Tony Romo didnt
have to do it all for the Cowboys.
Harris returned a punt 86 yards
for a touchdown and set up anoth-
er score with a 90-yard kickoff
return, helping the Cowboys hand
Robert Grifn III his rst loss in
his home state with a 31-16 vic-
tory against the Washington
Redskins on Sunday night.
Romo had just 170 yards pass-
ing a week after getting 506 in a
wild 51-48 loss to Denver.
Thats because Harris had 222
total return yards and Kyle Wilber
forced and recovered a fumble on a
sack of Griffin that left the
Cowboys needing just 3 yards for
a clinching score in the fourth
quarter.
The Cowboys (3-3) gave owner
Jerry Jones a win on his 71st
birthday.
Dallas kept the defending NFC
East champion Redskins (1-4)
from building any momentum
after a win and a bye following an
0-3 start.
Joseph Randle, playing because
running back DeMarco Murray
was out with a sprained left knee,
got his first career touchdown
after Wilbers big play. He scored
from the 1 when he stayed on his
feet with a defender draped over
him and was pushed into the end
zone by center and fellow rookie
Travis Frederick for a 31-16 lead.
Harris punt return gave Dallas a
14-3 lead in the second quarter,
and the big kickoff return came
after Kai Forbaths third eld goal
pulled Washington to 14-9 in the
third.
Romo finished the job after
Harris long kick return. He
stepped out of a potential sack
and threw off balance into the cor-
ner of the end zone, where
Terrance Williams got two feet
down just as he made the catch and
was pushed out of bounds by E.J.
Biggers for a 15-yard score and a
21-9 lead.
Grifn, who was brilliant in a
Thanksgiving win at the
Cowboys as a rookie last year,
said he was rejuvenated after a bye
following the Redskins rst win
of the season against Oakland.
And he looked it.
The 2011 Heisman Trophy win-
ner from Baylor had 246 yards
passing and another 77 rushing as
the Redskins outgained Dallas
416 to 213.
Alfred Morris, who had a career-
high 200 yards rushing when the
Redskins beat the Cowboys in a
playoffs-or-bust nale last year,
was held in check before a 45-yard
touchdown run trimmed Dallas
lead to 21-16 in the third quarter.
Morris nished with 81 yards.
Morris touchdown came a play
after safety Barry Church was
penalized for unnecessary rough-
ness when he hit Grifn as the
quarterback scrambled out of
bounds. That was the second time
in the third quarter that Church
was penalized 15 yards for a hit on
Grifn along the sideline.
Murray ran 4 yards for a touch-
down on Dallas opening drive,
but left early in the second quarter
with a sprained left knee.
The Cowboys also lost defen-
sive end DeMarcus Ware before
halftime because of a right quad
injury.
Redskins linebacker Bryan
Kehl left with a sprained left
knee, and cornerback David
Amerson was ruled out after sus-
taining a concussion.
There were flags along the
Redskins sideline after Harris
punt return with 2:26 left in the
rst half. But the penalty was for
someone not in uniform on the
Redskins bench inadvertently
bumping into an ofcial during
the play. The score stood and the
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
was enforced on the kickoff.
Another Washington penalty
had provided Harris with a second
chance at a return. The Redskins
were agged for illegal motion,
and Dallas accepted the penalty
that forced them to kick again,
setting up the fth-longest punt
return in Cowboys history.
Harris, defense carry Cowboys past Redskins 31-16

I
s your neighbors dog howling at the
moon or barking through the night?
We hear about this common issue
from residents in every community. Most
people explain they have tried yelling at
the dog or banging on the fence. Thats
human nature we want to do something
quick, easy and avoid confrontation with
the dogs owner. It might even feel good to
pound the fence when were frustrated. But,
an aggressive approach generally makes
the problem worse. Before I go further, I
should note that barking dog complaints
should be directed to your citys police
department, as these complaints are treated
like other public disturbance issues. This,
however, isnt your only recourse. Its
always helpful to understand why a dog
might be barking. Some bark when they
are excited or bored. Some bark to protect
their territory. We believe many dogs bark
out of boredom. Dogs left alone for hours
without adequate stimulation and exercise
often resort to barking. The rst and best
step is direct contact with the dogs owner;
we strongly recommend a friendly, caring
approach. The dogs owner may not even
realize his or her dog is barking if the
barking occurs while they are at work, for
example. You can always refer dog owners
to Peninsula Humane Societys free animal
behavior helpline. Our staff will kindly
recommend bringing the dog inside if left
out at night, and/or rigorous exercise prior
to being left alone during the day. Well
also suggest hiring a dog walker or even a
mature youngster in your neighborhood
you would trust to walk your dog.
Remember, the dog might be barking at
you, the stranger on the other side of the
fence. Offer to meet your neighbors dog
and become familiar with each other. That
is a great way to begin a conversation, as
many of us like showing off our dogs!

LOS ANGELES Gravity
wont be held down.
The Warner Bros. astronaut
adventure directed by Alfonso
Cuaron and starring Sandra
Bullock and George Clooney
landed in the top spot at the box
office for the second weekend in a
row, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
Gravity earned $44.3 mil-
lion, raising its domestic total to
$123.4 million.
They say what goes up must
come down, but thats not really
true with Gravity, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media ana-
lyst for box office tracker
Rentrak. To have opened as big
as it did last week and only drop
21 percent, thats really an amaz-
ing hold. Its a direct testament
to the word of mouth on the
movie.
Gravity also fared well over-
seas, making $28 million in 38
territories such as Russia,
Australia, Germany and Spain.
Sonys Captain Phillips
launched in second place with a
respectable $26 million. The
high seas drama directed by Paul
Greengrass stars Tom Hanks as a
cargo ship captain who is held
captive by Somali pirates.
We think the success of
Gravity will also bode well for
Captain Phillips, said Rory
Bruer, head of distribution for
Sony Pictures. This is the
extraordinary kind of film that
we think audiences will flock to
over the next several months
moving forward.
The animated Sony movie
Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs 2 gobbled up third
place in its third weekend with
$14. 2 million, bringing its
domestic haul to $78 million.
The weekends only other new
release, Machete Kills, opened
in fourth place with $3.8 mil-
lion. The gun-toting sequel from
director Robert Rodriguez and
starring Danny Trejo and
Michelle Rodriguez is the fol-
low-up to Machete, which
earned $11.4 million when it
opened in 2010.

California. It would be dangerous because
foreigners were not allowed in Spanish
California. This didnt daunt Smith and he
chose 16 of his men to accompany him on
the trip.
The journey was horrible. He had no
knowledge of how to travel the deserts and
lack of streams and water almost killed them
as they traveled west. They nally reached
Mission Gabriel Mission and were immedi-
ately thrown into jail because they had no
passport. Luckily, a sailor vouched for the
men and after Gov. Jos Mara de Echeandia
granted him permission to stay a while, he
told Smith and his men to return going east
out of California. Smith obeyed part of this
directive as he returned to the Mojave Desert
but then turned west and crossed over the
Tehachapi Mountains into the great San
Joaquin Valley. They were uninterrupted in
the travel until they reached Placerville
where Digger Indians attacked them. They
caused no harm but Smith decided not to
continue to their destination of the
Colombia River in Oregon and returned to
Salt Lake City. Smith left part of his group
at the Stanislaus River (Calif.) to trap
beaver.
There was snow on the mountains but the
group was able to cross the Sierra Nevada in
eight days. On July 3, he was back at Bear
Lake (Utah) where he sold the pelts they had
left with his group by Salt Lake. Not having
had enough excitement on the rst trip,
Smith planned a return trip, this time he was
going directly to his men in the San Joaquin
Valley.
He replenished his supplies for the trip
and chose 16 men to go along with him.
Things went OK until he began crossing the
Colorado River at Needles, Calif. when the
Indians attacked the party and killed half of
them besides stealing the horses and sup-
plies. Their trip from Needles was all hard-
ship until they entered California. After
acquiring horses, the remaining group fol-
lowed the San Joaquin Valley to where they
had left their men on the rst trip of trap
beaver. On Sept. 18, 1827, after two days
resting, he went to San Jose to get a pass-
port for California, but instead they were
thrown into jail at Mission San Jose. This
was a repeat of San Gabriel Mission but
eventually he got permission to travel to
Salt Lake by acting Gov. Don Luis Arguello.
Smith replenished his supplies in San
Francisco, acquired 300 horses, and lit out
for Oregon instead of going east. After
being attacked by Indians in Oregon and
losing his pelts, horses and supplies, he
continued north to the Hudson Bay
Company at Fort Vancouver where the Chief
Factor (boss) let him recover. Later, they
returned to the Indians who attacked the
group and they were able to get back much
of their gear and pelts worth $2,370 which
was enough to re-supply the group.
The group spent the winter of 1828-1829
at the fort then left for Salt Lake and a
mountain man reunion where they could
sell their pelts. By now, Smith told his men
that he was going to sell his business and
retire. Wanting to continue fur hunting,
there were men who wanted to buy the com-
pany, so he sold it to them and formed the
Rocky Mountain Fur Company to hunt furs
in that area. Smith, however, was talked
into taking one more trip to Santa Fe and
hunt around that area. On the trip, Smith
was killed by Comanche Indians. He was
32. His contribution in opening the routes
to California by land will always be con-
tributed to this courageous mountain man.

HISTORY
increases if the projected revenue is not
met.
A third new rate option would increase
cart rates but not as much as the plan rec-
ommended by city staff. That proposal calls
for a $2 increase on 20-gallon carts and $1
per month increase for 32-gallon carts. The
larger sizes would see a $5 decrease for 64
gallons and $10 drop for 96 gallons. Like
the preferred method, this option makes
some progress toward alignment, albeit
slower.
Vice Mayor Mark Olbert said Friday he
still needs to evaluate the two increase pro-
posals to parse out the differences between
the relatively minor adjustments. Although
he said the increases are understandable,
particularly as more recycling has led to
smaller garbage cans, he also knows why
residents question the yearly jumps.
I understand exactly how frustrating it is
for people, Olbert said.
He is also hoping by Mondays meeting
to get some information on the charges of
commercial collection.
Councilman Ron Collins said he is still
studying the details but his usual position
is favoring systems that pretty much
keeps the city solvent and revenue neu-
tral.
One of the chief complaints he hears is
that the rate structure is unfair because those
with larger carts are not being charged the
full cost of picking up the solid waste, he
said.
Mayor Bob Grassilli had not had the
chance yet to look at the options because of
the ongoing pipeline situation with Pacic
Gas and Electric taking his time but said not
raising rates at all might be acceptable if
there arent any consequences in doing so.
The city receives its service from
Recology which contracts with the South
Bayside Waste Management Authority. The
SBWMA, also known as RethinkWaste,
formed in 1982 and its members include
Atherton, Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo
Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo
Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San
Mateo, San Mateo County and the West Bay
Sanitary District.
Nearly every member has wrangled with
service rate increases to cover the projected
change in costs and reconciling balances
owed to previous provider Allied Waste.
Last year, the San Carlos City Council
learned it needed a 12 percent rate adjust-
ment to fully fund collection services in
2013 followed by a 3.25 percent increase in
unscheduled service rates. The council ulti-
mately passed a 6 percent to 9 percent base
rate increase plus a $1-$2 additional charge
for the 20- and 30-gallon containers. Doing
both met the 12 percent adjustment needed.
Earlier this year, the city learned that
Recology overcharged San Carlos cus-
tomers more than $750,000 by collecting
money to close out the former contract with
Allied Waste even though those charges
were supposed to end in 2011. The charges
were applied to the 2012 and 2013 rates,
resulting in roughly 18 months of erro-
neous collection. In June, city ofcials said
the overcharging might mean customers
might not get a 2014 increase.
The credit was included as part of the 2012
revenue reconciliation included in the gur-
ing of the rates, according to
Administrative Services Director Rebecca
Mendenhall.
If the City Council does adjust the upcom-
ing rates, they will become effective Jan. 1.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Oct. 14 at City Hall, 600 Elm
St., San Carlos.

GARBAGE
By Matt Volz
and Gillian Flaccus
HELENA, Mont. The govern-
ment shutdown is slowing the
wheels of justice in federal courts
by delaying civil cases, forcing
prosecutors to operate with skele-
ton staffs and raising uncertainty
about the systems immediate
future if the stalemate continues
past Thursday.
Thats when federal courts of-
cials expect the reserve funds they
have been using since the Oct. 1
start of the shutdown will run out.
Criminal cases, which are
required by law to go to a speedy
trial, are still moving ahead, as are
most bankruptcy cases and
appeals. Civil cases and those in
immigration court, however, are
feeling the greatest impact from
the shutdown.
The Constitution tells us what
we have to do and we cant control
our workload. It walks in the door,
whether were funded or not fund-
ed, said U.S. District Court Chief
Judge Loretta Preska in New York,
who has put all civil cases except
those already in trial on hold at
the request of the U.S. Attorney
there.
She said the nearly 450 district
court employees that serve the
New York metro area will report to
work to keep criminal cases on
track even if funds run out.
Ofcials at courts based in San
Francisco, Philadelphia and St.
Louis, Mo., also say their
employees will work.
Prosecutors, staff and experts
from other federal agencies such as
the Fish and Wildlife Service and
the Drug Enforcement Agency
needed to help try civil cases have
been furloughed. U.S. attorneys
requested judges to temporarily set
aside some cases, while a few dis-
tricts have requested a blanket halt
to all civil cases.
In Los Angeles, 51 federal pros-
ecutors and nearly 50 staff work-
ing civil cases have been sent
home, leaving the Justice
Department to le stay requests as
deadlines approach. Some requests
have been granted, others denied,
U.S. Attorney Andri Birotte Jr.
said.
In Montana, U.S. Attorney
Mike Cotter has requested stays in
more than a dozen civil cases,
with more to come.
Just over half of Cotters staff
has been furloughed, and while
those who have been sent home
are eligible for unemployment
benets, some of those who are
working without a paycheck are
considering borrowing money or
dipping into retirement savings
to make ends meet, he said.
We all have bills, car pay-
ments, mortgages and medical
payments to make, Cotter said.
Immigration court proceedings
are largely shut down, too.
Rafael Sanchez has been waiting
two years to make his case for a
green card after he and his family
from Bogota, Colombia, over-
stayed their U.S. tourist visa in
1997. Their New Hampshire court
hearing scheduled for Wednesday
(Oct. 9) was canceled because of
the shutdown.
Sanchezs daughter Karina, a
high school senior, is not sure
how shell be able to go to col-
lege. Without a green card, she
wont qualify for nancial aid.
Her father said that after coming
from a country with so much cor-
ruption and violence, he doesnt
understand why the leaders of this
country of plenty cant work
together. At what point do the
politicians think about how many
lives are dependent on them? he
said.
Decisions on whether to delay
civil cases vary district by dis-
trict, and often, case by case.
In New York, Preska issued an
order stopping all civil cases,
except civil forfeiture cases. An
exception is the governments
suit against Bank of America
Corp. over high-risk mortgages
sold before the financial crisis by
Countrywide Financial, which
the bank acquired in 2008.
In Washington, the Justice
Department was recently denied a
request prompted by the shutdown
to push back a November trial in
its antitrust lawsuit aimed at
blocking the merger of American
Airlines and US Airways.
In Pennsylvania, Justice
Department attorneys have asked
a judge to delay Geneva Colleges
lawsuit challenging federal health
care reform mandates that would
require the Christian school to
provide employee health insur-
ance that covers forms of birth
control it nds objectionable.

tually lost the seat to Stuebing, who
was appointed by the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors to serve
the district.
Warden is leaving the City Council
after serving on it for 12 years. He told
the Daily Journal that a crop of good
candidates in the race for council this
year made him think it was a good time
to step down. With the water district
suffering from a recent embezzlement
scandal, however, and with the district
hiring a new general manager, Warden
said that a run for the water board
might bring it a little more attention
since most of its elections are often
uncontested, with candidates having to
do little campaigning or public out-
reach to win a seat on the board.
Warden is also seeking answers as to
how one of the water districts former
employees was able to embezzle more
than $200,000 from the special tax
district that has an annual $9 million
budget and more than $17 million in
assets.
The San Mateo
County District
Attorneys Office
filed charges last
week against
Catherine Abou-
Remeleh, 53, with
crimes that carry up
to eight years in
prison including
theft of government
funds over
$200,000, identity
theft and an allega-
tion of committing
aggravated white
collar crime.
Prosecutors began
looking at Abou-
Remeleh after the
district turned over
its suspicions but
was waiting on the results of a lengthy
forensic audit before ling charges,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Friday.
Linvill told the Daily Journal that
nancial controls have already been
put in place that should prevent future
fraud at the special tax district.
Linvills main mission while serv-
ing the board is to make sure the best
water in the nation
gets delivered to
Belmont residents
at a reasonable rate.
Our service lev-
els are good and our
clients are happy,
said Linvill, who
has lived in
Belmont since
1998.
The district has
hired a new auditor,
the new general
manager is top-
notch and every-
bodys clicking,
Linvill said.
The district hired
Tammy Rudock ear-
lier this year to
replace the retired
Paul Regan as general manager and
morale is up for its 18 employees,
Stuebing said.
We have some of the best nancial
controls of any special district,
Stuebing said.

Sheryl Shaffer, host of Veterans
Helping Veterans TV, nominated
McArdle for the honor.
I have known Leo for 20 years, and
there is no one, no one, who does more

she wrote when she heard Hill had
selected McArdle for the award. I am
so glad Sen. Hill chose him.
McArdle has two sons from his rst
marriage and a stepson with foster
brother from his current marriage to
his wife Carol. A Bay Area native,
McArdle was born in San Francisco
and grew up in Daly City and South San

the Bay Area and Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom dropped by the talks Sunday
to encourage the two sides to reach a
resolution.
Newsom told reporters he believes a
deal is close and can happen Sunday
night.
It would be preposterous for both
sides at this stage when youre getting
this close to put, at risk, your reputa-
tion and the economy of the entire
region, he said.
BARTand union representatives said
in the late afternoon that they were
still hopeful a strike could be averted.
Sticking points in the 6-month-old
negotiations include salaries and
workers contributions to their health
and pension plans. BART workers cur-
rently pay $92 a month for health care
and contribute nothing toward their
pensions generous benets BART
management is seeking to curtail.
The unions, which represent 2,375
mechanics, custodians, station
agents, train operators and clerical
workers, want a raise of nearly 12 per-
cent over three years, while BART has
proposed a 10 percent increase over
four years. Workers from the two
unions now average about $71,000 in
base salary and $11,000 in overtime
annually, BARTsaid.
Labor leaders also are pressing
demands to make stations safer, such
as better lighting in tunnels, bullet-
proof glass in agents booths and
improved restroom access.
BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost
said the negotiating teams met sepa-
rately and face-to-face Sunday while
reviewing and ne-tuning their respec-
tive proposals.
No details on the latest offers or the
pace of progress were released, howev-
er, at the mediators request.
If a strike is called for Monday,
BART is planning to offer free bus
trips between San Francisco and the
East Bay, and ferry service to the city
would be expanded. But people who
travel on the systems north-to-south
routes in the East Bay would be strand-
ed, and freeway traffic is expected
become snarled as more commuters opt
to take cars.

neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.
