The names for the monster were submitted by readers during a two-week period. Anyway, the final chapter in the story will be Saturday's Oakland Tribune. For more details in the meantime, link to the first story at http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_9642081; the second, and more detailed one, is at http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/localnews/ci_9712466. I am sorry so sorry the voting procedure is so opaque. It's not rigged. Just badly designed. Thanks for spreading the word.

I clicked the link and went to the Trib's page, and it displays the vote results and an option to cancel my vote, even though I haven't voted. It looks like the Trib's vote is rigged!

I think it really should that something in the name should have an Oakland symbolization or connection. However, alas, I can't think of a good one right now! Eric–LMAO!!

Sammie is good, but Merrittzilla isn't sooooo bad... I originally wanted to vote for Horace, as in Horace Carpentier. But I doubt many would get that and Sammie ties in with Samuel Merritt so it makes more sense. There was another creature sighting reported this week in the water at a golf course in Fremont - http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_9834852 LOVE the graphic!!!
