Organized crime targeted at Artichoke Joe’s
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Federal officials swarmed Artichoke
Joe’s in San Bruno yesterday morning,
frisked its patrons and closed the card
club’s doors to customers as investiga-
tors executed search and arrest warrants
as part of a Bay Area-wide investigation
into organized crime.
An Emeryville card club was also
raided.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is leading
the investigation but did not unseal the
indictments as of last night although
authorities had arrest warrants for more
than a dozen people.
At least 10 locations throughout the
Bay Area were searched as part of the
investigation, including a home in
Belmont, where investigators were seen
carrying boxes out of a residence on
Continentals Way at 8:30 a.m.
Artichoke Joe’s is owned by Dennis
Sammut and managed, in part, by Ron
Cox, a former Foster City councilman.
Neither could be reached for comment
yesterday.
The FBI, the Drug Enforcement
Administration, the IRS and the state
Justice Department’s Bureau of
Gambling Control was executing arrest
and search warrants with the help of
local law enforcement agencies. The
investigation has been ongoing for at
least two years, federal officials said.

Democrats against freezing
workers pension benefits
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Democratic lawmakers
on Wednesday criticized a watchdog organiza-
tion’s recommendation that California freeze
pension benefits for current state and local
government workers as the only way to swift-
ly rein in runaway liabilities that are threaten-
ing basic government services.
Stuart Drown, executive director of the
Little Hoover Commission, told a legislative
hearing that California’s public pension sys-
tems face soaring liabilities as baby boomers
retire and live longer. The commission said
obligations to retirees will become unsustain-
able in the future.
The commission made its recommendation
in a report last week just as public employee
benefits became a flashpoint in statehouses
nationwide. Republican lawmakers in
California said the state must address the
long-term problem as it deals with a $26.6 bil-
lion budget deficit.
Democrats, who control both legislative
houses and generally support public employee
unions, said the commission’s proposal to cut
existing workers’ benefits faces such legal hur-
dles that it likely is not worth pursuing.
Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, chided
commissioners for presenting a solution that
“raises legal and constitutional red flags.”
“Frankly, I just don’t see some of your rec-
ommendations happening in the Legislature
this year,” Padilla told Drown. “I think the
only wiggle room may be on the future
employee side.”
The commission, which is made up of law-
makers and political appointees, said the state
should switch from its current defined-benefit
plan to a hybrid model that would include
something similar to the 401(k) plans offered
to most private-sector employees.
California had at least $115 billion in
unfunded pension obligations as of June 30,
2009, according to the latest figures available
from the California Public Employees
Retirement System. Unfunded state retiree
health care costs were nearly $52 billion,
according to the state controller’s office.
Drown told lawmakers that without swift
and sweeping changes, the state, along with
cities and counties, will soon have to reduce
more services and lay off employees to pay for
rising pension costs.
“Pension liabilities will continue to soar in
California as more baby boomers continue to
retire from public service,” Drown warned.
“Benefits at this point are too generous.”
The state and many local governments have
set up two-tiered pension systems that give
lesser benefits to new employees. But Drown
said that will not save money fast enough. He
agreed that the commission’s keystone recom-
mendation targeting existing workers’ pen-
sions likely would be tested in the courts.

Court: Anti-gay funeral picketers allowed

By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Supreme
Court ruled Wednesday that a griev-
ing father’s pain over mocking
protests at his Marine son’s funeral
must yield to First Amendment pro-
tections for free speech. All but one
justice sided with a fundamentalist
church that has stirred outrage with
raucous demonstrations contending
God is punishing the military for the
nation’s tolerance of homosexuality.
The 8-1 decision in favor of the
Westboro Baptist Church of
Topeka, Kan., was the latest in a
line of court rulings that, as Chief
Justice John Roberts said in his
opinion for the court, protects “even
hurtful speech on public issues to
ensure that we do not stifle public
debate.”
The decision ended a lawsuit by
Albert Snyder, who sued church
members for the emotional pain
they caused by showing up at his
son Matthew’s funeral. As they have
at hundreds of other funerals, the
Westboro members held signs with
provocative messages, including
“Thank God for dead soldiers,”
“You’re Going to Hell,” “God Hates
the USA/Thank God for 9/11,” and
Members from the Westboro Baptist Church protest at the Sundance Film Festival.
one that combined the U.S. Marine
Corps motto, Semper Fi, with a slur
against gay men.
Justice Samuel Alito, the lone dis-
senter, said Snyder wanted only to
“bury his son in peace.” Instead,
Alito said, the protesters “brutally
attacked” Matthew Snyder to attract
public attention. “Our profound
national commitment to free and
open debate is not a license for the
vicious verbal assault that occurred
in this case,” he said.
The ruling, though, was in line
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
with many earlier court decisions
that said the First Amendment exists
to protect robust debate on public
issues and free expression, no mat-
ter how distasteful. A year ago, the
justices struck down a federal ban
on videos that show graphic vio-
lence against animals. In 1988, the
court unanimously overturned a ver-
dict for the Rev. Jerry Falwell in his
libel lawsuit against Hustler maga-
zine founder Larry Flynt over a
raunchy parody ad.
What might have made this case
different was that the Snyders are
not celebrities or public officials
but private citizens. Both Roberts
and Alito agreed that the Snyders
were the innocent victims of the
long-running campaign by the
church’s pastor, the Rev. Fred
Phelps, and his family members
who make up most of the Westboro
Baptist Church. Roberts said there
was no doubt the protesters added
to Albert Snyder’s “already incalcu-
lable grief.”
But Roberts said the frequency of
the protests — and the church’s
practice of demonstrating against
Catholics, Jews and many other
groups — is an indication that
Phelps and his flock were not
mounting a personal attack against
Snyder but expressing deeply held
views on public topics.
Indeed, Matthew Snyder was not
gay. But “Westboro believes that
God is killing American soldiers as
punishment for the nation’s sinful
policies,” Roberts said.

adopting covert tactics
By Julie Carr Smyth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Anti-abor-
tion activists have recently conducted
hidden-camera stings at clinics, put up
a billboard declaring abortion the No.
1 threat to blacks, and on Wednesday
performed ultrasounds on pregnant
women in front of Ohio legislators.
Emboldened by new Republican
majorities and a political climate they
see as sympathetic, abortion foes are
mounting a renewed assault on Roe v.
Wade — and employing some in-
your-face tactics to do it.
“They’re trying to find a way to
reframe this issue, and using this
imagery is the way they’re trying to
do this,” said Thad Hall, a political
scientist at the University of Utah and
author of a recent book on abortion
politics. “It’s very rational political
behavior. There is survey data to sug-
gest that when people see these
images, it does affect how they view
the viability of the fetus.”
At the Ohio Statehouse, the anti-
abortion group Faith2Action unveiled
its “heartbeat bill” to outlaw abortions
after the first detectable fetal heart-
beat. If passed, it would be the most
restrictive abortion law in America,
affecting pregnancies as little as six
weeks along.
Though it is almost certain to be
challenged as unconstitutional under
Roe v. Wade, which upheld a
woman’s right to an abortion until the
fetus is viable, usually at 22 to 24
weeks, nearly half of the GOP-con-
trolled House has signed on to it.

Four Caltrain passengers
injured when train hits platform
Four Caltrain passengers were injured Wednesday morning
when a train pulling into the San Francisco station hit a bumper
at the end of the platform, a Caltrain spokeswoman said.
Caltrain No. 215 struck the bumper at about 8 a.m., Caltrain
spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
“The train was coming into the station and was going less than
5 miles per hour when it hit the bumper at the end of the plat-
form,” San Francisco fire Lt. Mindy Talmadge said.
The four injured passengers are all women, Talmadge said.
Two were taken to hospitals and the other two declined to be
transported.
One passenger had a tooth knocked out, but neck pain was the
main complaint, Talmadge said. None of the women’s injuries
were life-threatening.
The passengers who were hurt were standing up to exit the
train when they were knocked down by the sudden stop,
Talmadge said.
The train that hit the platform was taken out of service until
Caltrain determines the extent of damage to it, Dunn said.
There was no damage to the station, she said.
Nearly 500 S.F.school employees to get pink slips
SAN FRANCISCO — Almost 500 San Francisco teachers
and other school employees are expected to get pink slips over
the next two weeks as the school district prepares for deep cuts
in state funding.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the school board
voted 6-1 Tuesday to send preliminary layoff notices to 140
teachers, nurses and counselors, 194 teacher aides and 139
administrators.
Officials say the district will face an estimated $27 million
shortfall if the state’s worst-case budget scenario pans out later
this year.
District officials are required by state law to issue the pink
slips by March 15.
Officials say they hope to rescind most of the layoff notices
before school starts in the fall, but that will happen only if
California voters approve tax extensions and increases proposed
by Gov. Jerry Brown.
Teacher rattles table in class,student calls 911
An Atherton school teacher was placed on paid administrative
leave after he rattled a table to get the attention of his math stu-

call police.
Atherton police Sgt. Tim Lynch said that officers went to
Selby Lane School Tuesday afternoon because of reports a
teacher was causing a disturbance.
Officers found a calm teacher with class in session.
The sergeant says the teacher’s table-rattling startled a student
and she used her cell phone to call 911. He says other students
in the class weren’t bothered by the teacher’s actions.
Redwood City School District Deputy Superintendent John
Baker says the teacher was placed on leave because there was a

GOP wins first budget skirmish
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans won
an early round Wednesday in their fight
to shrink the government, pushing $4 bil-
lion in spending cuts through Congress
in a bill that puts off the possibility of a
government shutdown for two weeks.
Largely a spectator so far, President
Barack Obama dispatched his vice pres-
ident to initiate negotiations on a broad-
er, longer-term spending bill and find
“common ground” with GOP leaders
determined to cut tens of billions of dol-
lars more and undo much of his agenda.
He conceded in advance that any deal
on a government budget covering the
next seven months will feature cuts, not
just the long-term freeze he proposed
last month.
The Senate cleared the temporary
spending measure by an overwhelming
91-9 vote after the House passed it with
a large bipartisan vote Tuesday. Obama
signed it Wednesday afternoon.
After initially being rejected last week
by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., the two-week cuts written by
House Republicans shot through the

to restrict public unions
By Ann Sanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The bargaining
rights of public workers in Ohio would
be dramatically reduced and strikes
would be banned under a bill narrowly
passed by the state Senate on
Wednesday.
The GOP-backed measure that would
restrict the collective bargaining rights of
roughly 350,000 teachers, firefighters,
police officers and other public employ-
ees squeaked through the state Senate on
a 17-16 vote. Six Republicans sided with
Democrats against the measure.
Firefighters and teachers shouted
“Shame!” in the chamber as the legisla-
tion was approved and moved on to the
GOP-controlled House, where it is likely
to receive strong support.

The upcoming talks, to be led by Vice
President Joe Biden, promise to be far
more difficult. Those talks could begin
as early as Thursday.
“This agreement should cut spending
and reduce deficits without damaging
economic growth or gutting investments
in education, research and development
that will create jobs and secure our
future,” Obama said. “It should be free
of any party’s social or political agenda,
and it should be reached without delay.”
Republicans who outmaneuvered
Senate Democrats and the White House in
orchestrating passage of the two-week
measure called on Democrats to offer a
longer-term solution of their own in
response to a $1.2 trillion GOP spending
measure that passed the House last month.

The bill is similar to the Republican-
supported collective bargaining bill in
the Wisconsin legislature that has
sparked national debate in its weakening
of public employees’ ability to negotiate
contracts — although there are differ-
ences between the two. Wisconsin’s bill
exempts police and firefighters from the
collective bargaining restrictions, while
Ohio’s does not. And the bill there
would affect 175,000 unionized public
workers.
The Ohio bill would ban strikes by
public workers and establish penalties
for those who do participate in walkouts.
Unionized workers could negotiate

tions but not health care, sick time or

it’s progress nonetheless,” said Senate
GOP leader Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky. “It’s encouraging that the
White House and congressional
Democrats now agree that the status quo
won’t work, that the bills we pass must
include spending reductions.”
The insertion of Biden into the talks
— he played a lead role in bipartisan
efforts in December to extend Bush-era
tax cuts and ratify a nuclear arms treaty
with Russia — was seen as evidence that
the White House wants to regain the ini-
tiative. White House chief of staff
William Daley and budget director Jacob
Lew, who will also participate, held an
early evening meeting Wednesday in the

Barbour: Obama cheers
for higher energy taxes
By Philip Elliott and Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Mississippi Gov. Haley
Barbour, a potential Republican presidential
contender, accused the Obama administration
Wednesday of favoring a run-up in gas prices
to prod consumers to buy more fuel-efficient
cars.
Obama administration officials rejected the
charge, saying they view rising gasoline prices
as bad for average Americans and the eco-
nomic recovery.
Barbour suggested that President Barack
Obama wants to see higher energy taxes that
would lead to more expensive gasoline. But
his comments came amid a spike in gas prices
that has been primarily driven by unrest in the
Middle East, particularly Libya, that has
diminished crude oil production. That, cou-
pled with increased demand, has pushed
prices to almost $3.39 per gallon, according to
auto club AAA.
Barbour cited 2008 comments from Steven
Chu, now Obama’s energy secretary, that a

Democrats aren’t planning to come back. And,
despite talk of deadlines and threats of mass
layoffs, the state doesn’t really have to pass a
budget to pay its bills until at least May. Even
then, there may be other options that could
extend the standoff for months.
“This is a battle to the death,” said Mordecai
Lee, a political scientist at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “Unless one party can
come up with a compromise that the other
party will buy, which I doubt, this really could
go on indefinitely. I could see this going on
until the summer.”

ment of Richard Holober for San Mateo County supervisor in

Haley Barbour investments in alternative
fuels and spur cleaner

“This administration’s policies have been
designed to drive up the cost of energy in the
name of reducing pollution, in the name of
making very expensive alternative fuels more
economically competitive,” Barbour said dur-
ing a U.S. Chamber of Commerce breakfast
across the street from the White House.
In 2008, while the head of the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory in California,
Chu told The Wall Street Journal that energy
prices were the lynchpin to an energy over-
haul. “Somehow we have to figure out how to
boost the price of gasoline to the levels in
Europe,” Chu said then.

Two U.S. airmen killed
in Frankfurt airport shooting
FRANKFURT, Germany — Two U.S. air-
men were killed and two others were wound-
ed at Frankfurt airport when a man opened fire
on them at close range with a handgun, the
first such attack on American forces in
Germany in a quarter century.
President Barack Obama called the
Wednesday shooting an “outrageous act.”
The alleged assailant, identified as a 21-
year-old Kosovo man, was taken immediately
into custody and was being questioned by
authorities, said Frankfurt police spokesman
Manfred Fuellhardt. Family members in
Kosovo described the suspect as a devout

U.S.reels back talk of
intervention in Libya
By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama administra-
tion on Wednesday tried to rein in “loose talk”
about military options in Libya, including a
“no-fly zone” that the Pentagon chief said
would first require attacking Moammar
Gadhafi’s government.
At the same time, U.S. officials said the
North African country risked descending into
chaos.
The idea of protective military flights over
Libya has gained footing with some in the
United States and Europe as a means to pre-
vent Gadhafi from launching aerial attacks on
rebels seeking his ouster. But Defense
Secretary Robert Gates told lawmakers that a
military operation would have to come before
creation of a no-fly zone.
“There is a lot of, frankly, loose talk about
some of these military options,“ Gates said at
a House Appropriations subcommittee hear-
ing. ”Let’s just call a spade a spade: A no-fly
zone begins with an attack on Libya to destroy
the air defenses.”
He added that the operation would require
more warplanes than are on a single U.S. air-
craft carrier.
“It is a big operation in a big country,” he
said.
Gates said the Pentagon could get the job
done if ordered by the president, but his mes-
sage was unmistakable. With wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the military has no
interest in getting bogged down in a third one,
especially in another Muslim country.

ing attended by Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton that “significant financial
commitment by the U.S.” was crucial to help
what he called a “monumental and uplifting
transformation” in the Mideast.
Clinton testified that the U.S. was “taking
no options off the table so long as the Libyan
government continues to turn its guns on its
own people.” She said the administration had
grave concerns about the instability in the
country, but she tempered her tone on a possi-
ble no-fly zone.
“One of our biggest concerns is Libya
descending into chaos and becoming a giant
Somalia,” Clinton said.
She said that didn’t seem imminently likely.
But she noted that many al-Qaida fighters in
Afghanistan and Iraq came from eastern
Libya, which rebels largely have freed from
Gadhafi’s control.
Gates and Clinton spoke as the administra-
tion considered military options to force
Gadhafi to halt violence that has killed an
unknown number of civilians. The U.S. and
European allies also want Gadhafi to leave
power.

Pope exonerates Jews for Jesus’death
By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — Pope
Benedict XVI has made a sweeping
exoneration of the Jewish people
for the death of Jesus Christ, tack-

issues in Christianity in a new book.
In “Jesus of Nazareth-Part II”

Benedict explains biblically and

in Scripture for the argument that
the Jewish people as a whole were
responsible for Jesus’ death.
Interpretations to the contrary
have been used for centuries to jus-

books and acted as a part-time pro-
fessor at many universities includ-

but believed it was important to
send a message to citizens who also
feel Bush should be impeached.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks edged higher
Wednesday after a surprisingly strong
report on hiring by private companies
raised hopes that the job market may be
improving.
Traders remained concerned about the
latest spike in oil prices as Libya’s internal
conflict deepened. Crude settled above
$102 a barrel for the first time since Sept.
2008. Worries about the impact of high oil
prices on the U.S. economy have rattled
markets over the past week.
Payroll processor ADP said private
employers added 217,000 jobs last month,
well above the 180,000 analysts had pre-
dicted. That raised hopes that the govern-
ment’s employment report coming up
Friday could show a decline in the unem-
ployment rate, which is currently 9 per-
cent.
The Federal Reserve also reported that
the U.S. economy expanded broadly over
the last two months. All 12 regions covered
by the survey reported “modest to moder-
ate” growth, including a pickup in retail
sales.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
8.78 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at
12,066.80.
Wall Street
The S&P 500 rose 2.11, or 0.2 percent,
to 1,308.44. Both the Dow and the S&P
500 wavered between gains and losses
throughout the day.
The Nasdaq composite gained 10.66
points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,748.07.
The escalating conflict in Libya resulted
in a surge in crude oil prices over the last
week and volatility in global financial mar-
kets. U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday
after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke said that higher oil prices could
threaten the pace of the economic recovery
“When you look at the stock market any
given day it’s hard to isolate cause and
effect, but today we don’t have that prob-
lem,” said Lawrence Creatura, a portfolio
manager at Federated Investors. “Investors
will have one eye on oil prices for quite
some time.”
Retail companies reported mixed earn-
ings reports before the market opened.
Costco Wholesale Corp. fell 2.5 percent
after reporting earnings that met expecta-
tions.
Apple Inc. rose almost 1 percent after
the company’s CEO, Steve Jobs, briefly
emerged from a medical leave to introduce
the second generation of its iPad tablet
computer.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is back
with a refined second-generation tablet
computer that squeezes more power into
a thinner shell while keeping prices in
check. It’s a three-pronged push that
should handily hold off competitors for
another year.
Underscoring the tablet’s importance
to Apple, CEO Steve Jobs briefly
emerged from a medical leave
Wednesday and made a surprising
appearance to unveil the iPad 2 himself.
With the original iPad, Apple proved
there is great demand for a tablet that’s
less than a laptop and more than a smart
phone, yet performs many of the same
tasks. Dozens of copycat touch-screen
devices are in the works, but so far none
has broken into the mainstream con-
sciousness the way the iPad has.
“The competition is essentially going
to be picking up the crumbs that Apple
decides to leave behind,” said Ashok
Kumar, an analyst with Rodman &
Renshaw.

Bernanke’s plan
worked; what
happens after?
By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Nearly everything is going according to the

plan Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke hatched six
months ago.
During a speech in Jackson Hole, Wyo., on Aug. 27,
Bernanke outlined an effort to spur economic growth, prevent
prices from falling and push markets high-
er through the purchase of government
bonds. Since then stocks have soared, the
unemployment rate has dropped and
Americans have started to spend more.
“It’s been a success,” says Bill Gross,
who manages the world’s largest mutual
fund at Pimco. Gross had skewered
Bernanke’s attempt to boost the economy,
Ben Bernanke comparing it to a Ponzi scheme. “It’s hard
to dispute that since Jackson Hole the mar-
ket is up around 25 percent.”
But the Fed’s $600 billion program to buy Treasurys ends in
June. And Gross and other investors are concerned the stock
and bond markets will fall without the Fed’s $75 billion month-
ly injection. “At the end of June, the biggest bond buyer steps
away,” he says. “The markets could have a shock in store.”
Now there’s a different economic issue. Higher prices for
food and energy have replaced a double-dip recession as a
major concern for economists and investors. In the first of two
days of Congressional testimony Tuesday, Bernanke took heat
from Senate Banking Committee members who argued that
the bond-buying program known as quantitative easing is to
blame.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Burlingame

Division III finals of the CCS playoffs — to
get back to that championship game.

Padres grind out win
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN JOSE — It wasn’t easy, but the Serra
boys’ basketball team advanced to the finals
of the Central Coast Section Division I tour-
nament with a hard-fought 44-38 win over
Oak Grove in a semifinal game Wednesday at
Independence High in San Jose.
The second-seeded Padres will face the
winner of No. 1 Piedmont Hills-No. 4 Santa
Teresa.
“We knew Oak Grove would be a very good
team,” said Serra point guard Connor
McGrath, who iced the game with five points
and a huge offensive rebound in the final 20
seconds. “We knew it would be a dogfight.”
The game started well for Serra (21-8 over-
all), which hit three of its first four shots. But
six turnovers in the first quarter, coupled with
an Oak Grove 9-0 run to end the first quarter,
had the Padres battling from behind the rest of
the game.
While the Padres struggled with their shoot-
ing, the one constant that epitomizes Serra
teams was there from the opening jump:
defense and rebounding. The Padres forced
the Eagles to work for every shot and then did
an excellent job keeping them to one and
done. Serra dominated the boards to the tune
of 31-17.
“The key (to the game) was the boards,”
said Serra coach Chuck Rapp. “That’s some-
thing we preach all the time.”
Henry Caruso led the way, pulling down 10
boards. Dayln Pacheco and McGrath each
added five rebounds apiece.
More importantly were the offensive
rebounds the Padres grabbed. They had seven
offensive boards in the game and none bigger
than McGrath’s with less than 20 seconds to
play. With Serra leading 39-38, McGrath
hoisted a 3-pointer with about 20 seconds to
play. The ball caromed to the right where
Dayln Pacheco and an Oak Grove defender
tipped the ball. McGrath came around and
grabbed the loose ball. He was fouled and
sank both ends of a 1-and-1 to put Serra up
41-38 with 15 seconds to play.
With about five seconds to play, McGrath

Curry sparks Warriors to win over Wizards
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Golden State built a 20-
point lead by the third quarter Wednesday
night, then seemed to take it easy and very
nearly paid the price.
The Warriors withstood a furious rally by
the Washington Wizards for a 106-102 victo-
ry that wasn’t sealed until Stephen Curry hit
three free throws in the final 5.9 seconds.
Curry finished with 29 points and nine
rebounds as Golden State snapped a four-
game losing streak and improved to 1-2 on its

Burlingame steamrolled past the Wildcats
Wednesday night with the focus and determi-
nation of a hungry ball club, avenging an ear-

the Panthers have tasted defeat.
Burlingame only trailed twice, both by a
single point and both in the middle part of the
first quarter. But from the time Burlingame

The Warriors jumped on the Wizards at the
outset of the second half, with Curry and
Monta Ellis stepping up on offense to slowly
boost a nine-point advantage. Ellis’ driving
layup gave Golden State an 85-65 bulge with
4:07 left in the third and it seemed as if the
rout was on.
“All of a sudden, you look up and you’re

That idea of having superior desire was
something Bailey could be heard telling his
teammates at every opportunity. And it
appears that the Panthers took it to heart
because they played that way.

t wasn’t too long ago that the San Jose
Sharks were being written off. It
appeared as if their championship
window had closed as they wallowed
around the bottom of the Pacific Division
standings for the first half of the season.
General Manager Doug Wilson was threat-
ening big changes if the team didn’t turn the
season around and there appeared to be a
general lack of urgency through the first 40-
plus games.
Don’t look now, but
the Sharks have that
fire back in their eyes
and appear to have all
hands on deck. They
have won seven
straight and 16 of
their last 19 heading
into a showdown with
Detroit tonight.
Perhaps they have
learned that while fast
starts are nice, it’s
how a team finishes
that matters. The Sharks won the
President’s Trophy two seasons ago as the
leading team in the regular season, only to
wash out in the first round of the playoffs.
Last season, they again bolted from the gate
to start the season and finished with the sec-
ond-best record in the NHL, only to be
swept by Chicago in the Western
Conference finals.
The one constant from the last two sea-
sons was a fast start in which they were
clearly the best team in the NHL, followed
by some shakiness toward the end of the
season before disappointing finishes in the
playoffs.
This year has been the reverse. The
Sharks struggled mightily to start the sea-
son. But now, they appear to be peaking and
with just 20-something games left in the
regular season, the Sharks may have finally
figured out the formula that could take them
to their first Stanley Cup series appearance.

Washington, which has now lost seven
straight and 16 of 18 overall, got within 103-
102 on Nick Young’s deep 3-pointer with 6.3
seconds remaining. Curry hit two free throws
to push the lead to 105-102 with 5.9 seconds
left, and Young’s desperation 3 from the top of
the key with 1.7 seconds remaining was well
off the mark. Curry added one final free throw.
“I wish I could take it back,” said Young,
who scored a game-high 31 points. “But you
can’t do nothing about it now.”

Sanchez sharp in three innings of work
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Micah Owings has
been working at a side job this spring while try-
ing to pitch his way onto Arizona’s 25-man ros-
ter. He’s been working out at first base and tak-
ing a little batting practice.
Owings struck out the side in a scoreless
inning against the San Francisco Giants, who
beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 Wednesday
night.
“He should really feel good about the way he
threw,” Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson
said. “We want to get him pitching and throwing
the ball properly. I will have to get him an at bat
pretty soon.”
When he’s not working out with the pitchers,
Owings is off at a back field taking grounders.
The .293 career hitter has nine home runs in 184
career at bats.
Jonathan Sanchez threw three solid innings,
allowing two runs — one earned — on four hits.
He walked one and struck out three.
“I thought Johnny threw the ball well,” Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said. “He had good stuff
all night.”
Zach Duke allowed three runs on seven hits
over two innings and has given up 13 hits in his
four innings this spring.
“The main thing is I felt good,” Duke said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Any young first baseman in
the Cincinnati Reds’ organization knows the
path to the big leagues usually requires a
detour.
With reigning MVP Joey Votto a fixture at
first base in Cincinnati, Yonder Alonso has
been spending time this spring learning to play
the outfield. The Reds are eager to find any way
to get Alonso into the majors because of
swings like the one he took on Tuesday.
Alonso hit a two-run homer in the Reds’ 7-6
victory over the Oakland Athletics. It was his
first homer of the spring.
“He was sitting on the pitch middle-in, and
he got his pitch and turned on it,” said Reds
bench coach Chris Speier, who managed the
SPORTS
“You can’t do too much
about six broken bat hits.
I’ll just continue to work
hard and get better. The
more work I get, the more
refined I’ll get.”
Gibson echoed his start-
ing pitcher.
“He has a long way to go
but he’s healthy,” he said.
Jonathan
Sanchez “He broke some bats and
that’s a good sign.”
Freddy Sanchez collected his first two hits of
the spring and Chris Stewart had two hits and
drove in two runs for the Giants, who have won
two of their last three games. Aaron Rowand
and Charlie Culberson also drove in runs.
Russell Branyan had two hits and drove in a
run for the Diamondbacks, who lost their third
in four games. Miguel Montero also drove in a
run.
Stewart tripled home two runs in the second
inning and scored on Rowand’s sacrifice fly, off-
setting Montero’s RBI single in the top of the
frame.
Branyan singled home a run in the third as the
Diamondbacks closed to within 3-2.
Stewart and Culberson hit back-to-back dou-
bles in the sixth to make it 4-2.
“Stew put on quite a hitting show,” Bochy
split-squad team. “That’s a great thing to see.”
Alonso, 23, has been working out with Reds
outfield coach Billy Hatcher to learn the new
position. A former No. 1 pick, Alonso hasn’t
played the outfield in a game, but he is expect-
ed to do so later this spring.
Alonso’s two-run homer, off A’s lefty Brett
Anderson, followed Jonny Gomes’ two-run
shot earlier in the fourth inning, giving the
Reds a 4-1 lead.
The Reds did not have a batter reach base in
the first three innings, striking out five times in
the first two innings against A’s lefty Gio
Gonzalez.
“He was amazing,” Oakland manager Bob
Geren said. “He threw 95 and was hitting his
spots. He had a great curve ball. Very impres-
sive. A very nice first game.”
Bochy: Zito No. 4 starter
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — San Francisco
manager Bruce Bochy vehemently denied
there was any truth to a
report that appeared in
the San Francisco
Chronicle on Wednesday
morning suggesting left-
hander Barry Zito is not
assured a spot on the
Giants’ roster this season.
Bochy, who addressed
the media before
Barry Zito Wednesday night’s
spring training game
against an Arizona Diamondbacks split
squad, said Zito remains his No. 4 starter and
told him so in a meeting earlier in the day.
said. “Freddy looks like he’s swinging the bat
well.”
Marc Kroon, the 37-year-old closer who
spent most of his career pitching in Japan,
earned his first save on American soil with a
scoreless ninth.
“He was pretty excited,” Bochy said. “He kept
the game for his first save in the USA.”
Gonzalez threw first-
pitch strikes to all six bat-
ters he faced. He said that
was a point of emphasis for
him this spring. Last year,
even though he had a 15-
victory season, he still
issued 4.1 walks per nine
innings, highest among A’s
Gio Gonzalez starters.
“That’s a good hitting
lineup,” Gonzalez said. “You don’t want to fall
behind. You want to get ahead and put them
away quickly before they start a rally.”
Reds starter Mike Leake, vying for
Cincinnati’s No. 5 starter job, gave up one run
in two innings in his first start of the spring.
Oakland’s two new free-agent relievers,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Bochy also said there have never been any
talks suggesting otherwise.
“Believe me, there has been no conversa-
tion anywhere near what the article was
about,” Bochy said.
The Chronicle quoted unidentified sources
close to the team indicating “exasperation”
with the former AL Cy Young Award winner
and said his place in the rotation was “defi-
nitely not safe.”
Zito is 40-57 with a 4.45 ERA in his first
four years with the Giants after signing a
$126 million, seven-year contract before the
2007 season. He was left off the postseason
roster for all three rounds last year as the
Giants won their first World Series title since
1954.
Notes: Giants RHP Matt Cain will not make
his scheduled start Thursday due to right elbow
inflammation. He will be replaced by Ryan

errors, a bad throw by third baseman Junior
Arias and a dropped fly ball by center fielder
Felix Perez.

A lot has been made of the pending lockout
in the NFL, but the NBA is also looking at an
offseason of uncertainty as its current labor
agreement reaches its conclusion at the end of
this season.
Of the two, the NBA appears to have the
bigger problems, what with players outright
dictating where they will play and how they
will get to where they want to go. Carmelo
SPORTS
This is an interesting
time for the 49ers, who are
trying to prepare under
new coach Jim Harbaugh
in spite of the unsettled
labor situation.
Keeping as many of the
core players on the roster
intact — while also find-
Manny Lawson ing a quarterback — is a
priority for Harbaugh and
recently promoted general manager Trent
Baalke.
San Francisco started 0-5 and finished 6-10
last season after entering the year as an NFC
West favorite following an unbeaten presea-
on them and shut them down for the most
part,” Grotz said.
With three minutes left in the half, the
Wildcats had cut the deficit to four behind
Mrlik and some hard work in the paint by
Antonio Aguilar. But Burlingame answered
with a run of their own, ending the frame with
a spin-move layup by Bailey, which put the
Panthers up 36-24 at recess.
“Zac Grotz got us off to a tremendous start,”
said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd. “I thought
our effort on the hustle plays is what got us
going and then, they were making shots, they
were making plays.”
The home rims were unfriendly to the
Wildcats as they continued to struggle from
the field to start the third quarter — which
allowed the Panthers to go on a mini spurt that
increased their lead 41-26 with 3:19 left in the
period.
Impressive throughout the game was the
play of Burlingame’s crop of youngsters —
most notably the play of Haupt, Nick Loew
and Franco Ferrari, who at times played with
the poise and skill set of a senior, even mak-
ing a play which had his coach saying, “I
haven’t seen a pass like that since Drew
Anthony all but forced the Denver Nuggets to
trade him to New York. Mike Bibby had his
contract bought out by New Jersey so he can
sign with the Miami Heat. Add in the tamper-
ing between players colluding to play for the
same team as soon as possible and it’s a clas-
sic case of the inmates running the asylum.
I’m not a big fan of the NBA and this
makes me not like it even more. I have a huge
problem with players signing a contract and
then wanting out or renegotiating the terms
soon after signing. NBA players want it both
ways — they want to make as much as
money as possible, with the best contract, but
when they’re not winning, they want out, the
contract be damned.

son. The Niners haven’t
had a winning season
since their last postseason
berth in 2002.
The 26-year-old
Goldson, a fourth-round
draft pick in 2007 out of
Washington, started all 32
games at free safety for the
Ray McDonald Niners the past two sea-
sons. He had 80 tackles,
one sack and one interception last season. He
returned the interception for a touchdown.
Lawson is another key member of the
Niners’ young, talented defense. Like
Goldson, he has started every game the last
Shiller. He was in the house today and I’m
sure he would agree.”
Burlingame closed the quarter on a hustle
steal by Grotz, who turned it into a three-point
play on the other end by Kyle Shaffer. Shaffer
played well in his second game back from an
ankle injury he suffered during the Peninsula
Athletic League tournament.
Sixteen points was the lead by the end of
three, but Dowd knew the game was far from
over.
“I said we got to keep building this because
I know those guys can shoot,” Dowd said.
“I’ve scouted them all year and I thought we
did a poor job at the end — we were trying to
switch out and not give them any 3’s because
I felt it was the only way they could beat us.
They made some tough shots. And then they
were able to tip the ball out and get some easy
3’s. We have to work on that.”
Before the Wildcats’ final run of the night,
the Panthers build an even larger advantage. A
St. Ignatius technical foul and subsequent free
throws gave Burlingame a 55-34 lead with a
little over five minutes left in regulation. Their
biggest advantage of the night came a couple
of buckets later when they led by 23.
Obviously these guys have never lived in
the real world. I can’t tell my mortgage com-
pany I don’t like the terms I’ve agreed to and
I want to change them to benefit my situation.
I can’t not pay my mortgage — holdout if
you will — until it does change the contract,
but that is almost a daily occurrence in profes-
sional sports.
I’m not usually a big supporter of profes-
sional sports owners. They are the ones who
are responsible for their sports spinning out of
control, but in the case of a potential NBA
lockout, I have to side with the owners. If the
players don’t like the three-year contract they
signed, why not just sign contracts year to
year? That way, they can decide where they

A first-round draft pick taken 22nd overall
in 2006 out of North Carolina State, Lawson
had 59 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, two forced fum-
bles and an interception in 2010. In 2009, he
recorded career-highs in tackles (68), sacks
(6.5) and forced fumbles (three).
McDonald hasn’t started a game the past
two years but wound up with 19 tackles last
season and an interception he returned for a
touchdown.
Spillman contributed mostly on special
teams while playing in 11 games for the 49ers
in 2010 after being claimed off waivers from
San Diego on Oct. 12.
But just as Dowd predicted, the Wildcats
made their final push. Fueled by a rowdy stu-
dent section, that broke out into a “We believe
we’re going to win” chant, Mrlik, Cody
Warner and Luke Pappas started draining 3-
pointer after 3-pointer. Pappas found his
touch, knocking down a pair and Mrlik, who
was hounded the entire night by the
Burlingame defense, hit two as well — with
1:20 left in the game.
The lead was down to eight.
The Panthers kept their cool and, already in
the penalty, found themselves at the free
throw line to ice the game. The Wildcats had
no choice but to put up desperation 3’s in the
waning seconds, which resulted in nothing but
air and ultimately, a Burlingame win.
“We played hard,” said Rodrigo Puliceno.
The PAL Bay Division MVP finished with 15
points and 10 rebounds. “We’re playing for
CCS one more time against Sacred Heart. We
have heart. We have a big heart and that’s why
we won today.”

for the bucket and the foul. He completed the
three-point play with 1.8 seconds left to send
the Padres into the CCS championship game.
“Big players make big plays in big games,”
Rapp said of McGrath.
Serra trailed by as many as 12 points in the
first half, but cut its deficit to just one at half-
time, 26-25. After leading 8-6 in the first quar-
ter, the Padres did not lead again until there
was just over four minutes left in the game
when Henry Caruso, off an offensive rebound,
made a layup to put Serra up 37-36.

Nate Viera put the Eagles back up, 38-37,

WARRIORS

For the Warriors, who had big offensive nights
only to lose to Minnesota and Indiana in their last
two games, it was a familiar story with a differ-
ent ending.
“When you’ve gone through a streak of losing,
to get a win — no matter how it ends up —
nobody will pay attention to how the fourth quar-
ter went,” Golden State coach Keith Smart said.
The Warriors took advantage of the Wizards’
porous defense early, driving the lane with ease
to score 25 fast-break points. Ellis finished with
21 points and Dorell Wright added 14.
The Warriors also held a 54-40 advantage on
the boards, with David Lee accounting for 16.

Oakland’s Coco Crisp arrested on DUI charge
By Tom Withers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Major league
security officials met with the
Oakland Athletics on Wednesday
and delivered their annual spring
lecture to the players on the pitfalls
of their profession. One of the sub-
jects discussed was the danger of
drinking and driving.
Coco Crisp attended the meet-
ing. Hours earlier he was in jail.
Crisp was arrested early
Wednesday in Scottsdale, Ariz., on
suspicion of drunk driving, the
third major league player to be
charged with DUI during spring
training.
The A’s released a statement on
the matter.
“Coco Crisp was arrested and
detained early this morning under
the suspicion of driving under the
influence of alcohol,” the club
said. “He was released from the
City of Scottsdale Jail this morn-
ing and arrived at Phoenix
Municipal Stadium on time for
team pre-game drills.
“The A’s are aware of the situa-
tion and take such matters serious-
ly. The team and Coco will have no
further comment until further
details are available.”
Scottsdale police didn’t immedi-
ately respond to calls Wednesday
requesting information on the
arrest.
Crisp was on the field for the
morning workout, and he was in
the clubhouse before the A’s host-
ed the Cleveland Indians in an
exhibition. Crisp did not speak
with reporters before leaving
Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
SPORTS
Following the game, manager
Bob Geren offered little informa-
tion on Crisp’s situation.
“I talked to Coco,” he said. “The
club put out a statement which
speaks for all of us at this point.”
Geren said Crisp will play on
Thursday when the A’s play a road
game against the Milwaukee
Brewers. The team has not indicat-
ed if Crisp faces any team disci-
pline.
The 31-year-old Crisp is the lat-
est major leaguer to face a DUI
charge since training camps
opened.
Detroit first baseman Miguel
Cabrera was arrested in Florida on
Feb. 16 on suspicion of driving
under the influence and resisting
an officer without violence. He is
to be arraigned on March 16.
On Tuesday, the Indians learned

that outfielder Austin Kearns was
arrested on Feb. 12 in Kentucky.
He chose not to tell that team on
advice of his attorneys, and the
team was put in the awkward posi-
tion of addressing his situation
without knowing many facts.
Crisp is coming off an injury-
riddled 2010, when he played in
just 75 games. He was on the dis-
abled list in April with a broken
pinkie finger and went on the DL
again in May with a strained rib
muscle. Crisp broke the pinkie a
second time on Sept. 18 and
missed the remainder of the sea-
son.
He batted .279 with eight
homers, 38 RBIs and had 32 steals. A’s outfielder Coco Crisp,seen here in

Extraordinary garden: Starting your own seeds

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

With so many gardens still buried under the

snow and ice of this month’s blizzard — the
frigid effects of which were felt as far south as
Mexico — it might be hard for many to get in
the mood to start the seeds for their spring
gardens. But that time is upon us.
For many novice gardeners, starting plants
from seed is a bit of a mystery. For the last
few decades, the trend has been for gardeners
to buy plants from their local garden center or
DIY store rather than starting their own from
seed. But experienced gardeners know the
advantages of buying seed: It saves you
money, and it vastly expands the variety of
options for your garden.
DIY stores and mass retailers buy their
plants from commercial growers, who usually
only supply the basics. That typically means
the standard fare in vegetables, such as a few
types of lettuce, a few varieties of tomatoes
and one or two types of peppers. Seed cata-
logs, on the other hand, offer gardeners pages
of different choices for each type of veg-
etable, often selling heirloom varieties as well
as new hybrids.
Starting seeds is easy — provided you meet
the requirements for the plants you want to
grow. The hardest part is selecting from the
abundance of interesting options!
Once you have selected your seeds, the next
step is to figure out when to plant. First you’ll
need to find out the last expected frost date for
your area. Frost dates are averages, and are
provided as a range of dates. The best way to
find this information is to contact your local
agricultural extension service. In my Zone 6
garden, the last expected frost dates are listed
Starting seed inside your home is easier than you think,and it vastly expands your options for
garden plants.
as between March 30 and April 30. These are
average dates, and as a rule of thumb I prefer
to use April 30 to be on the safe side.
When you know your last expected frost
date, check the information provided on your
seed package to find out how many weeks
prior to the frost date you should plant that
particular seed. Counting back from the last
expected frost date will provide you with a
planting schedule.
Note that sowing schedules can vary wide-
ly depending on the type of seed involved.
Artichokes, parsley and viola seeds may need
to be sown as many as 12 to 14 weeks prior to
the last frost, while pumpkins and squash may
only need two to three weeks of lead time.
When growing from seed, planning ahead
will help ensure success. Having all the nec-
essary equipment such as soil, a watering can
and a designated area for seed trays will make
the process fun instead for a chore.
Most seedlings have similar requirements:
adequate light, proper temperature and proper
moisture levels. Space tends to be the biggest
problem for most seed growers. Fortunately,
seedlings do very well under fluorescent grow
lights, so you won’t have to cram seed trays in
every south-facing windowsill in the house.
If you’ve never grown your own plants from
seed, a quick trip to the library or your local
bookstore will provide all the information to
get you started. Once you enter into the world
of seed starting and realize how easy it is,
you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier.
This time honored tradition can turn an ordi-
nary garden into an extraordinary one.

Late winter is time for pruning and forcing By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
In many parts of the country spring
may yet be a distant dream, but even
in cold northern climes now is a good
time to begin winter pruning tasks in
the garden.
I typically start my pruning tasks
around mid-February, when daytime
temperatures start to moderate a bit in
Rhode Island and I begin noticing the
days getting longer. Perhaps just the
little bit of extra daylight motivates
me to get back out in the garden, even
if for only a few hours at a time.
Fruit trees such as apples, peaches
and pears, as well as grape vines and
many ornamental shrubs, are best
pruned during winter dormant peri-
ods. Evergreens can also be pruned
now if you have not done so already.
When done yearly, pruning does
not take a lot of time. Most of my
pruning consists of removing dead
wood and branches broken during
storms. I may thin out interior
branches on shrubs that are getting
too large, which will allow light and
air to penetrate for healthier growth.
On small trees, I remove branches
The dormant period at the end of winter is the best time to prune most that rub against other branches, pre-
shrubs and trees. venting future damage.
For fruit trees such as apples, verti-
cally growing “ whips” are removed,
leaving branches that grow horizon-
tally for fruit production.
Care must be taken when pruning
apples trees that have been allowed to
grow unchecked for many years, as
bark that is shaded every summer by
a dense canopy of leaves can easily
be scalded by the sun, causing blis-
tering and peeling of the bark. It’s
best to thin these trees slowly over a
period of a few years, allowing the
tree to acclimate slowly.
When pruning back severely over-
grown shrubs and trees, especially
evergreens, a general rule of thumb is
to cut back no more than one-third of
the plant each year. This allows the
plant to recover slowly and forces
growth from areas lower on the trunk
or branches.
There are exceptions to this rule:
Some shrubs like lilacs, privet and
yew can be cut back severely and will
still recover nicely.
Flowering shrubs that bloom on
second-year growth, such as forsyth-
ia, weigela and deutzia are best
pruned immediately after they
bloom. This gives the shrub time to
form new growth and set buds before
winter. Pruning shrubs like these now
THE DAILY JOURNAL
will cut off next spring’s flower buds.
While a severe pruning at this time
of year is not advisable for most
spring blooming shrubs, cutting off a
branch or two for indoor forcing will
not hurt the shrub at all. Forced
branches, often seen at this time of
year in high-end florists, are an easy
way to get an early dose of spring.
For best results when forcing, cut
branches of early blooming shrubs
such as forsythia, witch-hazel or
quince. Others, such as magnolias
and cherries, will work well too, but
cutting these closer to their natural
bloom time will ensure greater suc-
cess.
Look for branches that are at least
12 inches long and that have swollen
buds. Cut the branches on a day when
temperatures are above or near freez-
ing. Bring the branches indoors and
submerge them overnight in a large
container or bathtub in cool water.
Next re-cut the ends of the branches
while holding them under water to
prevent air from entering the stems.
Make several cuts into the stem,
which will allow the branch ends to
soak up water but keep air out. Keep
the branches in a well-lit room that is
at or below room temperature and
mist the branches daily.

Family gets its food in the backyard
By Jamie Stengle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROSPER, Texas — As the weather
warms and the brown landscape turns
green, Stephanie Weyenberg’s thoughts
turn to planting for her family’s early
spring garden.
Gardening is more than just a hobby:
She and her husband, Matt, grow most
of the fruit and vegetables they eat.
They also rely on a half dozen chick-
ens roaming their backyard, for eggs
and to entertain their kids, ages 11, 9
and 6. The family gets beef, chicken and
raw milk from farms.
“At some point it snowballed into,
‘Oh wow, now we’re grinding our own
wheat and have a garden and try to eat
from that,” said Weyenberg, 37, who
home-schools her children.
Inspired to turn away from processed
foods after their two younger children
had stomach troubles, the Weyenbergs
started with small changes. Those led to
a move about three years ago from a big
house with a tiny yard to a smaller home
on an acre lot farther out in the country-
side, in Prosper, about 45 miles north of
Dallas.
Matt Weyenberg, a doctor at a family
medical practice called Village Health
Partners in Plano, said his family’s
experiences serve as a way for him to
talk to patients about healthy eating. He
said he’ll tell them: “You don’t have to
go crazy like we are at my house and
grind your own wheat and have chick-
ens and a big garden, but try to eat less
processed foods, try to get more organic
food, locally grown, whole grains, and
fruits and vegetables.”
“There’s hardly a day goes by that I
don’t — all of us — don’t see patients
who could literally get off several of
their medications potentially if they just
ate better,” said Matt Weyenberg, 36.
“Some people are very receptive to that.
Of course some people aren’t: They
don’t feel like they are at a place where
they can.”
The Weyenbergs might have taken
gardening a step further than many, but
a growing number of American house-
holds are doing some vegetable garden-
ing, according to the National
Gardening Association — up from
about 27 million households in 2005 to
about 31 million households last year.
The nonprofit group said the main rea-
sons are to have better-tasting and high-
er quality food, and to save money on
groceries.
SUBURBAN LIVING
It is possible to grow most of the fruit and vegetables your family eats.
That might involve just putting some
tomato plants out on a city patio, or it
might be as involved as what the
Weyenbergs are doing, said Susan
Littlefield, horticulture editor for the
gardening association.
Brett L. Markham, author of “Mini
Farming: Self-Sufficiency on 1/4 Acre”
(Skyhorse, 2010), said he raises chick-
ens and has fruit trees and a garden, pro-
ducing about 80 percent of the food his
family eats. They began backyard farm-
ing on a half-acre lot in New Ipswich,
N.H., after developing an interest in
organic foods about eight years ago.
“I do have a sense that my situation is
becoming less and less unique. A lot of
people are trying to grow something, no
matter how small,” Markham said.
He said that often people who contact
him say they developed an interest in
backyard farming because of economic
concerns, but other reasons include
wanting to feel a connection to the soil.
“It’s a lot easier than people think it
is,” he said. “People look at the stuff
involved and initially they get intimidat-
ed. You can build into having full self-
sufficiency.”
The Weyenbergs occasionally supple-
ment their garden by buying from
farmer’s markets, Stephanie said.
And they still make the occasional
trip to the grocery store, estimating they
get about 25 percent of their food there.
For instance, Stephanie said, when they
make tortilla soup, they pick up chips
and sour cream from the store. And
every now and then, they get some ice
cream as well.
“I don’t want it to ever be so ‘rule our
lives’ that my kids have no idea what
chips taste like: the forbidden fruit that
they’re going to run right out and gorge
on,” she said.
Both Weyenbergs said the key is mak-
ing the changes one step at a time.
“The way that we’re living now seems
so extreme, and I never in a million
years would have imagined us being
here,” said Stephanie.
For her early spring garden this year,
Weyenberg is planning spinach, lettuce
and beets. Throughout the year, she also
grows onions, a couple varieties of
beans, tomatoes, squash, blackberries
and Swiss chard. That’s besides the fruit
trees bearing apples, plums, pears and
peaches, and the herb garden that
includes basil, thyme and sage.

What’s in a name?
Billy bookcase,
meet Chloe chair
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Do you have a Chloe in your house? How about a Harry, or
a Scarlet?
I’m not talking about your children or pets, but your furni-
ture. Ever wondered how and why retailers come up with
names for the things you buy for your home?
The concept’s not new, says Antonio Larosa, the furniture
chairman at Savannah College of Art & Design.
“Throughout history, furniture pieces were given the name
of a monarch, such as Queen Anne or Louis XIV, to gain favor
and influence,” he says.
In modern times, naming furniture is just good marketing.
“It’s appealing and friendly to have a ‘Jasmine Chair’ in a cat-
alog rather than the ‘XY 9811.Y Chair,”’ Larosa says. Aside
from the visceral connection that consumers might make with
a name, it’s also a lot easier for everyone from manufacturer to
buyer to reference.
In Europe, Larosa says, designers instinctively treat their fin-
ished product like a family member. “They feel they’ve put so
much passion into it that it isn’t just a piece of wood or metal,
but an integral part of the home.” That’s why you saw feminine
names grow in popularity during the 1960s and ‘70s, especial-
ly in Italy: Sottsass’ Valentina typewriter. Mendini’s Anna G
corkscrew for Alessi.
There were variations: Poltronova’s “Joe” leather chair,
designed in 1970 and now re-edited by the U.S. company
Heller, paid homage to Joe DiMaggio.
Mary Rose Gearson, Crate & Barrel’s director of product
and sourcing development, says, “We do try to convey an emo-
tional connotation to the product — quirky, clever or prove-
nance — which we hope will resonate with the customer.
Caldera, meaning volcano, becomes a lava-colored Murano
glass bowl. And I’m in love with Lola, our Mexican etched
goblet and tumbler — the name just says it all!”

takenly thought a plane had crashed.
Sixty-eight firefighters arrived on

ing gas kept them from reaching many
of the burning homes until the gas was
turned off over an hour later, Haag
said.
“Without the fuel supply there is a
possibility we could have been in an
offensive, rather than a defensive,
mode,” he said.
Even if he had known about the
pipeline, Haag said he wouldn’t have
done anything differently to fight the
fire.
Eight people were killed in the acci-
dent, including five whom coroner’s
reports indicate were fleeing, and
dozens of homes were destroyed.
Aaron Rezendez, a PG&E official,

aggressive assumption could be made,
but that doesn’t answer projections for
the next five years.
Deal was first to suggest a conservative
2 percent projection in the years ahead,
adding that while the city saw some
growth this year, the last 10 years have
been volatile.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg
agreed and said just because the city is
expecting more revenue, doesn’t mean it
needs to spend it.
Department heads requested a phased-
in approach to the new policy.
The discussion about capital projects
was more to the point. Public Works
Director Syed Murtuza put forward
$2.77 million in projects but only has $2
million to spend.
Setting aside money to later fund the

Haag said one of his officers attend-

Rezendez also said the company
sends customers literature inside bills
about pipeline safety and pipelines in
their community, among other efforts
to raise public awareness.
NTSB Chairwoman Deborah
Hersman noted that when PG&E sent
15,000 customers postcards asking
them if they were aware of transmis-
sion lines in their community, the com-
pany received only 20 replies. Half the
people who responded said they didn’t
know they had transmission lines near-
by, she said.
PG&E recently launched a website in
coordination with Google that allows
customers to find the location of trans-
mission pipelines in their neighbor-
hoods.
NTSB investigators and safety advo-
cates said a lack of public awareness
about pipelines underneath their com-
munities has been a recurring problem
in accidents. There are 302,000 miles
of gas transmission line nationwide.
One reason is that gas companies
start out by emphasizing that pipelines
have a great safety record, which caus-

Burlingame’s share is estimated to be $8
million in the fiscal year 2014-15, which
should come from setting aside $1 mil-

ferred putting the smallest amount possi-

money sit in a bank account when it
could be used for good now. In addition,
he said the city could use a bond meas-
ure. Mayor Terry Nagel believed federal
funding options were still available
which could reduce the city’s possible
payment.
The city expects $1.7 million from var-
ious federal and state sources to fund
street resurfacing on a number of streets
including: Arc Way, Balboa Avenue,
Bernal Avenue, Bloomfield Road,
Broadway, Clarice Lane, Cortez Avenue,
Forest View Avenue, Frontera Way,
Laguna Avenue, Lincoln Avenue,
Martsen Road, Paloma Avenue, Rosedale
Avenue, Sherman Avenue and Willow
Avenue. This only takes a chunk out of
the $13 million in projects backlogged
need to come and tell us why. It is an
important meeting for the public to show
up to.”
The board has already held three pub-
lic meetings on the service reductions
and has heard from a number of local
mayors as to why their station should
remain open.
The board will likely declare the fiscal
emergency and reveal its list of station
closures at its April 7 meeting.
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
source and relies on contributions from
the San Mateo County Transit District
(SamTrans), Santa Clara County’s
Valley Transportation Agency and the
San Francisco Municipal Transportation
Agency to survive.
said about 90 percent of the children
who visit the Redwood City clinic
have language delays. Literacy can
help with that. Oftentimes, the chal-
lenge is bigger than simply access. If a
parent is illiterate or speaks a different
language, reading the book can seem
like a large challenge. Mora suggests
they describe the pictures to their chil-

Preparing the student for academic

When the raid was conducted, each
individual in the casino was detained
until they could be identified, said FBI
spokeswoman Julianne Sohn.
“Everyone had to be identified first,”
Sohn said. Frisks were conducted before
regular customers were allowed to leave
the casino.

find out there is the potential for an
accident and what they should do if one
occurs, said Carl Weimer, executive
director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, a
safety advocacy group.
Federal regulators and the industry
were admonished by NTSB in 2009
after a propane explosion in
Carmichael, Miss., that killed two peo-
ple and injured seven. Emergency dis-
patchers had not been informed the
pipeline was there. If they had, investi-
gators concluded, they could have
immediately evacuated the area and
warned people against doing anything
that might ignite the cloud of gas.
An NTSB report also found that the
victims’ homes were left out of public
mailings offering pipeline safety tips.
The Carmichael blast followed
dozens of accidents since the 1970s in
which companies and agencies were
later faulted for sloppy or inadequate
emergency response plans.
Utilities and pipeline companies also
have been repeatedly admonished for
failing to adequately mark their lines.
After the San Bruno accident, fire-
fighters found gas company plastic
stickers on sidewalks near the accident
site but some were unreadable and oth-
ers appeared to be missing, Haag said.
for the 84 miles of streets maintained by
the city.
Sidewalks were another issue.
Burlingame has often fought over who
should foot the bill for sidewalk
improvements. The shared-cost method
was imposed. Next year, the area west of
El Camino Real, between Easton Drive,
Vancouver Avenue and Davis Drive,
extending west to the border of unincor-
porated San Mateo County will be the
program’s focus, said Murtuza.
As proposed, the capital improvement
budget will result in 15 to 20 new handi-
cap ramps, a new coat of paint for the
main library and a number of traffic sig-
nals and signs.
Murtuza also suggested a city-wide
study of mechanical systems, a $75,000
cost. Heaters, air conditioners and all
other machines are about 20 to 30 years
old, he said. However, it will most likely
not be funded. Another unfunded idea is
a new $250,000 play structure at Ray
Park for liability reasons.
Cities must approve the budget by June
30. Last night’s discussion was just the
first conversation by city officials.
SamTrans is reducing its contribution
to Caltrain by about $10 million this
year due to its own financial struggles.
Both VTA and MUNI will follow suit,
pushing Caltrain’s deficit to the $30 mil-
lion mark.
Caltrain has been operating under a
fiscal emergency for years now, allowing
it to bypass California Environmental
Quality Act review to suspend the serv-
ice and raise rates.
Fare increases and service changes, if
approved, will take effect July 1.

URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN - 2010 UPDATE
INCLUDING URBAN WATER USE TARGETS

The City of Burlingame is preparing a draft update of its

Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). Water agencies

by California law, must be updated by July 1, 2011. Addition-
ally, California law requires that, in conjunction with the
update to the Urban Water Management Plan, the community
be given an opportunity to give input on the City of
Burlingame's urban water use target in the Urban Water
Management Plan, any impacts to the local economy, and
City of Burlingame's method of determining its urban water
use target.

The City of Burlingame will hold a public hearing to adopt

an urban water use target and updates to its Urban Water
Management Plan for 2010-2015. The public hearing will be

Rebels corner fleeing Gadhafi forces after battle
By Paul Schemm
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BREGA, Libya — Rebel forces
routed troops loyal to Moammar
Gadhafi in a fierce battle over an oil
port Wednesday, scrambling over the
dunes of a Mediterranean beach
through shelling and an airstrike to
corner their attackers. While they
thwarted the regime’s first counterof-
fensive in eastern Libya, opposition
leaders still pleaded for outside
airstrikes to help them oust the long-
time leader.
The attack on Brega, a strategic oil
facility 460 miles (740 kilometers)
east of Gadhafi’s stronghold in
Tripoli, illustrated the deep difficul-
ties the Libyan leader’s armed forces
— an array of militiamen, mercenar-
ies and military units — have had in
rolling back the uprising that has
swept over the entire eastern half of
Libya since Feb. 15.
In the capital of
Tripoli, Gadhafi
warned against
U.S. or other
Western interven-
tion, vowing to
turn Libya into
“ a n o t h e r
Vietnam,” and
saying any for-
Moammar
Gadhafi eign troops com-
ing into his coun-
try “will be entering hell and they
will drown in blood.”
At least 10 anti-Gadhafi fighters
were killed and 18 wounded in the
battle for Brega, Libya’s second-
largest petroleum facility, which the
opposition has held since last week.
Citizen militias flowed in from a
nearby city and from the opposition
stronghold of Benghazi hours away
to reinforce the defense, finally
repelling the regime loyalists.
The attack began just after dawn,
when several hundred pro-Gadhafi
WORLD
forces in 50 trucks and SUVs mount-
ed with machine guns descended on
the port, driving out a small opposi-
tion contingent and seizing control of
the oil facilities, port and airstrip. But
by afternoon, they had lost it all and
had retreated to a university campus 5
miles (7 kilometers) away.
There, opposition fighters besieged
them, clambering from the beach up
a hill to the campus as mortars and
heavy machine gun fire blasted
around them, according to an
Associated Press reporter at the
scene. They took cover behind grassy
dunes, firing back with assault rifles,
machine guns and grenade launchers.
At one point, a warplane struck in the
dunes to try to disperse them, but it
caused no casualties and the siege
continued.
“The dogs have fled,” one middle-
aged fighter shouted, waving his
Kalashnikov over his head in victory
after Gadhafi’s forces withdrew from
the town before dusk.
More than 180,000 refugees flee
By John Heilprin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — Libyan border
crossings were overwhelmed
Wednesday by tens of thousands
of hungry, fearful people fleeing
its burgeoning civil war. Egypt and
a handful of European nations
launched emergency airlifts and
sent ships to handle the chaotic
exodus.
U.N. refugee agency spokes-
woman Melissa Fleming told the
Associated Press that over 180,000
refugees have reached the border.
Over 77,300 people have crossed
east from Libya into Egypt, most
of them Egyptians, while a similar
number have fled west from Libya
into Tunisia, she said. Another
THE DAILY JOURNAL
30,000 more were still waiting in
Libya at the border, trying to get
into Tunisia.
Thousands of angry Egyptian
workers packed into a U.N.
refugee camp in Ras Ajdir,
Tunisia.
The young men shouted and
waved, pressing against soldiers,
or climbing over each other and
passing bulging suitcases overhead
— all in a frenetic, desperate bid to
remain in Tunisia.
Elsewhere in the sea of sloping
white U.N. plastic tents, rows of
angry Bangladeshis raised their
arms and jostled to be evacuated
from sun-baked dirt villages crop-
ping up in the desert that Tunisian
National guard members had
ringed with razor wire.
