Embarking on a new life

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL
Jeff Shafe, left to right, is joined by his family Dylan, Claire and Kendall in their San Carlos home Thursday evening.
San Carlos resident Jeff Shafe joked Thursday night that his New Year's resolution was his new life. The 59-year-old was kind of telling the truth. Just a few short months ago he was able bodied, enjoying life and on a dirt biking trip in the North Bay with his 19year-old son and a group of friends. It was a trail with which Shafe wasn't familiar but after completing a rather steep climb on his bike, he was feeling condent. There are times when riding
where a person sees a challenge ahead and hopes they can pull it off. Shafe came over the crest to nd a huge stump ahead. He was unknowingly off the trail. Without a way around it, Shafe hit the stump. His bike stopped but he didn't. Shafe's life did change Dec. 30. He's now in a wheelchair slowly regaining strength and movements in his limbs. Shafe is learning how to get things done differently and only recently returned home. While the Shafes feel blessed at the outcome - Shafe is making progress and home - there are many challenges ahead. Claire Shafe, Jeff's
wife, was recently unemployed prior to the accident. Due to the rehabilitation requirements of Jeff, he also isn't working. As a result, friends have rallied around the family putting together fundraisers to support the Shafes while they adjust to their new life. Shafe admitted to being a cynic before this happened. The overwhelming support from family, friends and acquaintances has been life changing. My life is dramatically changed. How I view people and mankind.

Of the 131 incidents reported at the Carlos Club over a year span, more than half were initiated by police and only seven were specifically alcohol-related, according to the business owner who wants to expand the downtown San Carlos nightclub with an outdoor patio and live entertainment. Sheriffs Capt. Greg Rothaus, who oversees the San Carlos Patrol Bureau, opposes Carlos Club owner Fred Duncans request because he said more of the nightclub could equal more alcohol and public safety problems. However, Duncan has long questioned the validity of Rothaus statistics and said a breakdown of the calls from October 2010 to October 2011 cement his argument. He said 131 incidents which is true but you have to look at what those are, Duncan said. He doesnt want the club to expand so hes going to make it look worse than it really is.

Messy birds wreaking havoc in Redwood Shores

City cries fowl over geese Montrose dies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The growing number of geese making themselves at home in Redwood Shores parks are laying more than golden eggs. Now, hoping to combat the overabundance of waste, Redwood City ofcials are looking at revamping city park rules on waterfowl so resi-
dents can legally try controlling the problem. But actually the birds themselves are not the biggest issue, said Harris Rogers, president of the Redwood City Community Association. Its not the geese, its the [waste] they leave behind. They eat and they poop and they foul our sidewalks and our city parks to the point its

This Day in History
1770
The Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers whod been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened re, killing ve people. In 1868, the Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted. In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1934, the rst Mothers-in-Law Day celebration and parade took place in Amarillo, Texas. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his Iron Curtain speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power. In 1959, a re at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville, Ark., claimed the lives of 21 teenagers trapped inside a locked dormitory room. In 1960, Cuban newspaper photographer Alberto Korda took the now-famous picture of guerrilla leader Ernesto Che Guevara during a memorial service in Havana for victims of a ship explosion. Elvis Presley was discharged from the U.S. Army. In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in a plane crash near Camden, Tenn., that also claimed the life of pilot Randy Hughes (Clines manager). In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons went into effect after 43 nations ratied it. In 1979, NASAs Voyager 1 space probe ew past Jupiter, sending back photographs of the planet and its moons. In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33. Ten years ago: President George W.

Pitt, Clooney, Sheen headline marriage rights play
LOS ANGELES Martin Sheen commanded the stage with his impassioned portrayal of an attorney arguing for gay-marriage rights; Jane Lynch inspired instant response as a vehement same-sex marriage opponent; Brad Pitt dazzled as a judge. It was all part of the star-studded West Coast premiere of 8, a play about the 2010 federal court fight against Proposition 8, the gay-marriage ban that California voters approved in 2008. The performance Saturday at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles also featured George Clooney, Kevin Bacon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Lahti, George Takei, John C. Reilly, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The play by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black made its Broadway debut last year in similar starry fashion. Saturdays benefit performance was broadcast live on YouTube, where director Rob Reiner said it drew 200,000 viewers. He hopes it attracts more than a million before its weeklong online run ends. The play will also be staged around the country with local actors at colleges and community theaters. We want as many people as possible to see what happened inside that courtroom, said Reiner, a founding member of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which is funding the federal ght for marriage equality. Relying largely on transcripts from court proceedings, 8 introduces viewers to the couples who challenged the California initiative, the attorneys who argued their case and a bumbling witness who spoke out against them. One couple has two children together; the other wants to start a family; and a witness testifying in favor of the samesex marriage ban said under oath that marriage equality was best for couples, kids and the country. The real-life couples in the case Sandy Stier (Curtis) and Kris Perry (Lahti), and Jeff Zarillo (Matt Bomer) and Paul Katami (Morrison) and the attorneys David Boies (Clooney) and Theodore B. Olson (Sheen) were in the audience Saturday, along with director Brett Ratner, designer Diane Von Furstenberg and Clooneys girlfriend, Stacy Keibler. We did put fear and prejudice on trial, and fear and prejudice lost, Olson said after Reiner brought him on stage. Last month, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an earlier judges decision that found Californias proposed amendment banning same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Reiner said he and Black decided to make a play and eventually a movie based on the Prop. 8 trial after proponents successfully petitioned to block cameras from the courtroom. Saturdays reading was held on a courtroom-like set, with eight chairs on each side and Pitts judges box in the center. Sheen and Clooney made for an impressive legal team, while Reilly cracked up the crowd as a verbose marriage expert. I knew that Martin Sheen was going to get a huge ovation after that speech because we applauded for him in rehearsal, said Ferguson, adding that he wanted to be in 8 as soon as he heard about it. John C. Reilly did a brilliant job with his role but I loved seeing Jane Lynch play such a villainous, homophobic creature. It really felt like she was sticking it to the man. Reilly said he was moved by the material, and even more so by its message. I think America will be a better place and we can hold our chins up a little higher in this country when everyone is treated (equally), he said. These arent gay rights or special rights, theyre basic rights that people who love each other should have. Reilly was thrilled to participate in the play, and even took on a last-minute role change when Pitt signed on. Reilly was to play the judge, but instead jumped into a role that Reiner originally was going to play.

Easton Family in Burlingame

ose Isidro Sanchez inherited 1,500 acres of land when his father, Jose Antonio Sanchez, died in 1843. This land (in Burlingame) ran from Sanchez Avenue to Adeline Drive, from the Bay to the western hills. Jose Isidro lived on the land in an adobe house on Edgehill Avenue until he sold the property to Ansel Ives Easton in 1860. To the north of this land, his brother, Jose de la Cruz owned 1,500 acres. Jose de la Cruz borrowed money on the land, defaulted on payments and D. O. Mills purchased the property for $10,000 at a sheriffs sell. Ansel Ives Easton was one of seven children, and his brother was Aschell Samuel Easton who became the San Mateo County surveyor in the 1860s. Aschell married Georgette Tilton of San Mateo. Their sister, Jenny, married Ed Taylor who bought the San Mateo House on El Camino Real. Ansel migrated to California in 1852, after the initial Gold Rush had subsided but he nevertheless made much money in the booming real estate market, along with other business dealings. He married Darius Ogden Mills sister Adeline, for which Adeline Creek in Burlingame is named.

Sheriffs actress wife adds to trial drama

By Terry Collins
SAN FRANCISCO Months after moving to the United States, Latin America telenovela star Eliana Lopez blogged about her hopes and aspirations for her new, simpler life as a wife and mother, far from the bright lights of TV and movies. The Venezuelan actress was excited about living in San Francisco a beautiful and avant-garde city where millions of interesting people make things happen every day raising her son with then-Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, and teaching bilingual mother-and-baby dance classes. To try to be conscious of my life whenever possible, of what scares me, of what I love and what moves me, Lopez wrote in 2010. To try to ask questions of myself and what surrounds me, to question myself and not wake up one day and see my son as a stranger, thinking that life passed me by ... That is my goal. Today, Lopez is back in the spotlight. This time as an alleged victim of domestic violence as her husband, Mirkarimi now the embattled San Francisco sheriff faces trial this week on misdemeanor criminal charges that he grabbed and bruised her arm in front of their toddler son on New Years Eve.
Lopez has become a symbol, willing or not, for anti-domestic violence advocates and the central gure in a case that has already separated her family and threatens her husbands political career. A video purportedly showing her discussing what happened has emerged as key evidence.
Noticeable bruise
On Feb. 27, Judge Garrett Wong ruled the video could be used as evidence as Mirkarimis attorneys sought a mistrial. Then Lopezs lawyers argued two days later that the video be inadmissible to no avail, after prosecutors released photo images from the video showing an emotional Lopez with a noticeable bruise on her arm. Lopezs lawyers appealed, and on Friday a judge put on hold using the video until he could rule on its admissibility. Lopez probably did not want this type of celebrity and Mirkarimi cant afford anything less than an acquittal, said Rory Little, a professor at the University of California Hastings School of Law in San Francisco. Its an unfortunate cycle for some victims in that they may regret calling attention to their partners apparent brief loss of control, said Little, a former federal prosecutor. But then again, we
dont know what happened. Thats what makes these domestic violence cases difcult to prosecute because there are usually no witnesses, except for the victim and the defendant. Both Lopez and Mirkarimi have repeatedly denied the allegations. She went on Venezuelan radio in January declaring that prosecutors are out to get her husband. She also stood by Mirkarimi as he was sworn in as sheriff, just days before he was booked at his own jail. And she later tearfully told a judge that that she is not some poor little immigrant, adding, Im not afraid of my husband at all. While the judge found Lopez to be strong and quite charming, he said there was still a volatile situation at play. The sheriff is under a court order to stay away from Lopez, although he recently has been allowed to see his son. Lopez is dejected that the case is proceeding, said Paula Canny, one of her lawyers. She feels disrespected by the government, Canny said. She has repeatedly advised them that there was no act of domestic violence, it was an argument. As a family, theyre a wreck. This isnt supposed to happen in America. Asked whether her client would take the witness stand, Canny initially said they were keeping all options open. Later, though, she expressed doubts. (The prosecution) are trying to squeeze her to testify, Canny said. The irony of it is, they wont grant her immunity...I want a blanket grant of immunity that would cover anything and everything in federal court
and in immigration proceedings. Shes not testifying (otherwise). But Bay Area defense attorney M i c h a e l Cardoza said he Ross Mirkarimi thinks Lopez could be compelled to testify as the alleged victim. I highly doubt that she will be allowed to keep quiet, he said. Lopez, 36, has appeared in numerous TV shows and lms in Latin America. She is perhaps best known as Oriana Ponce De Lesn, a villainturned-heroine on the Venezuelan telenovela, Amor a Palos.
New role
Shes scheduled to star later this year as Venezuelan Independence War heroine Luisa Caceres de Arismendi in the feature lm, The Colonels Wife. Lopez met Mirkarimi in 2008 at an environmental conference in Brazil. They married after she gave birth to their son, Theo, in 2009. The couple kept mostly out of the public eye until Mirkarimi, 50, with his term ending as a supervisor, announced his run for sheriff last spring. Mirkarimi, a former investigator in the District Attorneys Ofce, won handily in November. During an argument at their home less than two months later, Mirkarimi grabbed Lopez and bruised her right arm, authorities say. The next day, Lopez turned to a neighbor, Ivory Madison, who later contacted police. They eventually confiscated video Madison had
taken, along with text messages and emails between the two women. Prosecutors say Lopez recounted Mirkarimis actions on the video. Im going to use this just in case he wants to take Theo away from me, Lopez said on the video, according to court documents. Because he did, he said that, that hes very powerful, and he can, he can do it. The video shows Lopez pointing to a bruise on her right bicep where she says Mirkarimi grabbed her, a police afdavit says. Mirkarimis defense attorneys argue that Lopezs statements should be inadmissible because they were intended to help her gain custody of their son if the marriage failed. The videotape itself was the product of a reective and deliberate decision to create evidence for purposes of a custody proceeding, wrote Mirkarimi attorney Lidia Stiglich, calling it hearsay. Mirkarimi pleaded not guilty to charges of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness. He could face up to a year in jail, if convicted. After he was sworn in as sheriff, Mirkarimi called the alleged incident a private matter, a family matter. And that inamed anti-domestic violence advocates who commissioned a billboard that reads, Domestic violence is NEVER a private matter. If thats his last word, then thats 30 to 40 years of our work down the drain and all of the gains weve desperately worked so hard for to get victims to speak up, said Kathy Black, executive director of La Casa de las Madres, the nonprot behind the billboard.

About 2,000 Sacramento-area teachers get notices
SACRAMENTO Nearly 2,000 Sacramento-area teachers are wondering if theyll be losing their jobs this year. The Sacramento Bee reports that pink slips due by March 15 will warn teachers and other school employees that they could be out of work by the end of the school year. The newspaper says Sacramento City Unied board ofcials have voted to send notices to 700 teachers, while San Juan Unied ofcials have notied more than 600 employees, and Elk Grove Unied ofcials have sent out notices to 239 school employees. Placer County education leaders say about 125 teachers will get preliminary layoff notices, while smaller districts, including Twin Rivers Unied, will also be sending out notices. Last year about 2,500 Sacramento County teachers received pink slips, but most kept their jobs when the Legislature barred school districts from laying off teachers to balance their budget.

Tornadoes disrupt routines in ravaged towns

HENRYVILLE, Ind. Under a patched-up six-foot hole in the roof, people in the devastated town of Henryville gathered Sunday at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church to worship and catch up on news of their devastating tornado by word of mouth, not with cellphones or email. At least 38 people were killed in the storm system that struck Friday night and rescuers were still going door-to-door in rural areas to rule out more victims. Some of the worst damage stretched on either side of the Ohio River between Indiana and Kentucky. The storms thrashed the conveniences of modern life, too: Cellphone signals were hard to nd, Internet was out and electricity indenitely interrupted. People went back to basics or got creative to learn about their loved ones and begin rebuilding.
REUTERS
A vehicle and a building damaged by a chain of tornadoes are seen in West Liberty, Ky. Sunday. Calm weather gave dazed residents of stormwracked towns a respite early on Sunday as they dug out from a chain of tornadoes that cut a swath of destruction,killing at least 39 people.
Its horrible. Its things you take for granted that arent there anymore, said Jack Cleveland, 50, a Census Bureau worker. Randy Mattingly, a 24-year-old mechanic, said he and his neighbors passed on information by word-ofmouth to make sure people were OK: It was like, Hey, did you talk to this guy? He said state police quickly set up two gathering points for adults and children, at the church and at a nearby community center. At Sundays mass, Father Steve Schaftlein turned the church into an information exchange, asking the 100 or so in attendance to stand up and share information. Immediately, volunteers stood to share tips about functioning in what is in many ways a tech-free zone. Lisa Smith, who has been Henryvilles postmaster for six weeks, told people that they could pick up their mail in Scottsburg, about 10 miles north. She said she
was most worried about people needing medication and she had been shaking boxes to see if they had pills inside with hopes of connecting them to their recipients. A local insurance agent, Lyn Murphy-Carter, shared another story. The founder of her agency, 84year-old Tom Murphy, had told her always to keep paper records. That proved valuable without access to computers. She collected about 1,000 claims Saturday alone, and was gathering handwritten claims from policyholders at church. While it could be days before power and cell service are fully restored to the damaged areas, crews were making progress Sunday. In Indiana, about 2,800 homes were without power, down from 8,000 in the hours after the storms. But in some hard-hit areas, like Henryville, a substation and transmission lines need to be rebuilt, and that could take up to a week.

Proof of insurance? Lawmaker wants an app for that
SACRAMENTO California drivers seeing ashing lights in their rearview mirror may soon be reaching for their smartphones instead of putting them down. A bill introduced by Democratic Assemblyman Mike Gatto of Los Angeles would give Californians the option of presenting their proof of insurance on a hand-held
device during trafc stops. Many insurance companies have introduced apps that display customer information, but the state vehicle code does not mention electronic devices, leaving law enforcement ofcers in a gray area during trafc stops. Gatto plans to amend the bill to include registration papers, which the Department of Motor Vehicles would have to provide electronically. The bill is expected to go before the Assembly Insurance Committee later this month.

Whats so super about Tuesday?

By Connie Cass
WASHINGTON Super? Maybe not this time. But it is a Tuesday, one with the biggest payout of the Republican presidential primaries. Super Tuesday, slimmed down to half its 2008 size but still doling out one-third of the delegates needed to win, probably wont settle much. Sure, it could nudge Newt Gingrich out of the race, or lend Ron Paul more credibility. But it wont be easy for either Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum to score a decisive advantage, because delegates are handed out by share. A close second in a state can pay off almost as well as rst place. Win some big states, especially Ohio, and the symbolism is powerful, of course. Romney might cement the frontrunner status that keeps slipping through his ngers. Santorum could
prove hes the real thing. Whats at stake, whats it mean and what might happen? A Super Tuesday tip sheet:
Delegates for grabs Tuesday: 419

Delegates already won: 353. Romney, 203; Santorum, 92; Gingrich, 33; Paul, 25.
Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum Delegates needed for the nomination: 1,144

Super Tuesday is super expensive:
A weeks worth of heavy advertising in all 10 states would cost a candidate about $5 million. Thats a lot even for Romneys wellNewt Gingrich financed campaign, prompting him to make a plea for donations amid his Michigan victory speech. Gingrich is getting another multimilliondollar boost Ron Paul from Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who donated the money to a special type of political action committee, known as a super PAC, that will run advertising in key states.
Ohio, Ohio, Ohio:

Its the race to watch. Political junkies get all misty-eyed over this Rust Belt swing state, and not just because of the 63 delegates. No Republican nominee has ever become president without winning the state. That makes it a powerful proving ground for the men trying to show they can take on President Barack Obama.

Newts last stand or Gingrich rises again?

Get out the hook for Newt Gingrich if he loses in Georgia, the state he represented in the U.S. House for two decades. Gingrich hopes to win decisively here and pick up enough other delegates to relaunch his up-and-down campaign, which has been mostly down-and-out since he lost Florida in January. Hes got endorsements from Gov. Nathan Deal and Herman Cain, a fellow Georgian. Hes got a new pitch, claiming he can bring the cost of gas down to $2.50 per gallon. Santorum is pushing hard to wrest the states Christian conservative and tea party voters away from Gingrich. Romney remains a force, even if the state is outside his comfort zone. Georgia boasts the days biggest cache of delegates: 76.

A settlement that BP is hammering out with victims of the massive Gulf oil spill nally provides a system for monitoring health concerns and compensating people whose illnesses are found to have a link to the disaster. Government and university doctors studying locals health havent found signicant evidence of spillrelated illnesses, but problems years from now remain a question mark.

Same-sex custody battle could change Florida law

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A custody battle in Florida between two lesbians could fuel the growing national debate over the denition of motherhood. It also might force state lawmakers to reconsider a 19-year-old law regarding the rights of sperm and egg donors. The women, now in their 30s and known in court papers only by their initials, were both law enforcement officers in Florida. One partner donated an egg that was fertilized and implanted in the other. That woman gave birth in 2004, nine years into their relationship. But the Brevard County couple separated two years later, and the birth mother eventually left Florida with the child without telling her former lover.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Intensifying debate over conservative social values and Republican icon Rush Limbaugh overshadowed the nations economic concerns Sunday as the Republican presidential campaign hurtled toward Super Tuesday contests that could re-shape the nomination battle and shift the direction of the Grand Old Party. Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum distanced themselves from Limbaugh, who boasts a huge conservative following and recently apologized for calling a Georgetown University law student a slut and a prostitute on his nationally syndicated radio program. The woman testied at a congres-
sional hearing in favor of an Obama administration mandate that employee health plans include free c o n t r a c e p t ive coverage. While Rush Limbaugh religious institutions are exempt, their afliates, such as hospitals and universities, were at rst included in the requirement. Under harsh criticism from conservatives, President Barack Obama later said the affiliates could opt out, but insurers must pay for the coverage. The GOP framed the issue as one of religious liberty. But Obamas chief political strategist suggested
the Limbaughs reaction and Republicans slow repudiation of his comments would benefit Democrats in the general election this fall. I think what Rush Limbaugh said about that young woman was not only vile and degrading to her, but to women across the country, David Axelrod said on ABCs This Week Sunday morning. While the contraception debate raged on national television, Newt Gingrich predicted a strong performance Tuesday would resurrect his fading candidacy. Romney and Santorum spent Sunday racing across Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Ohio, four of the ten states to host elections on Super Tuesday, the biggest single voting day of the 2012 cycle.

Uprising in Syria gains support

BEIRUT Saudi Arabia said Sunday that Syrians have a right to take up arms to defend themselves against the regime and accused the Damascus government of imposing itself by force, as concerns mounted over a humanitarian crisis there. In a rare televised news conference, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said the kingdom welcomed international efforts to broker a ceasere in Syria but added that they have failed to stop the massacres. Is there something greater than the right to defend oneself and to defend human rights, he said, adding that the Syrian people want to defend themselves. The regime is not wanted by the people, he said. The regime is insisting on imposing itself by force on the Syrian people, he said. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been discussing military aid the to the

Syrian opposition, but the U.S. and others have not advocated arming the rebels, in part out of fear it would create an even more bloody and prolonged conict. Sunni Saudi Arabia is wary of the wave of Arab Spring uprisings, particularly in nearby Bahrain, where a Shiite majority is demanding greater rights from its Sunni rulers. However, the
kingdom strongly backs the largely Sunni uprising in Syria. On Sunday Red Cross teams handed out food, blankets and medical kits in central Homs province, but the government blocked access to the worst-hit district of Baba Amr. The humanitarian group was trying to help families who ed Baba Amr after a monthlong siege and took shelter in nearby villages, ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan said in Geneva. The needs are so far mainly in the forms of food and also blankets because of the cold, Hassan said. Government forces have blocked humanitarian access to Baba Amr since Friday, the day after troops seized it from rebels. Opposition ghters had been in control of the neighborhood for several months, and a regime offensive on Homs that began in early February aimed to retake rebel-held neighborhoods inside the city. Syrian troops managed to take control of Baba Amr after nearly a
month of intense and relentless shelling, and activists say hundreds were killed in the daily bombardments that led up to the nal battle on Thursday. Some Baba Amr residents were killed when, in desperation, they dared to venture out of their homes to forage for food. Activists have said residents face a humanitarian catastrophe in Baba Amr and other parts of Homs, Syrias third-largest city with a population of 1 million. Electricity, water and communications have been cut off, and recent days have seen frigid temperatures and snowfall. Food was running low, and many are too scared to venture out. The government had said it would allow the Red Cross into Baba Amr on Friday but then blocked their access, citing security concerns. In the meantime, activists accused Syrian forces of killing tens of residents execution-style and burning homes in revenge attacks against those believed to be supporting the rebels. days, Chavez said the surgery and follow-up tests showed the tumor was a recurrence of the initially diagnosed cancer. He said the tumor was totally extracted and noted the absence of lesions suggestive of cancer neither locally, neither in nearby organs, neither far away ... neither metastasis, none of this thanks to God, to the diagnosis and rapid intervention.

have buffered that blow. His rejection of a permit for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline likely caused at the least a delay in efforts toward energy independence, and squashed the creation of possibly thousands of jobs. And, for all Obamas talk about increased production, the trend actually began during the George W. Bush presidency, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The agency projects that by 2020, oil production will hit a level last seen in 1994. Touting his alleged success in devel-
n the campaign fundraising trail in Florida recently, President Barack Obama addressed the rising cost of gasoline by talking up his own energy policies taking credit for increased oil and natural gas production. ... This is a cyclical rise. It has nothing to do with politicians or campaign promises. Any decrease in the cost of gasoline will be the result of market forces, as well. But rising gasoline prices will have an effect on attempts at economic recovery in this country. And Obama has missed several steps that might
oping a greater mix of energy sources will not hold much water for Obama, either. Honest efforts by those who are working to develop renewable energy sources are, of course, admirable. But the percentage of cars on the road today powered by anything other than gasoline is minuscule. Even his own staff quietly admits there is very little a president can do to affect gasoline prices in the short term. And Obama clearly has done nothing to increase oil production in the long run. To the contrary, through opposition to new drilling in many areas of the country, his administration has had a negative effect. But that is not stopping Obama from using a little coal smoke and solar mirrors on the campaign trail.
The real issue is not pepper spray

n June 2010, a young boy in a county special day class at a San Mateo elementary school ran away and, when he nally returned to the classroom, climbed on top of a bookcase. The police were called, tried to coax the child down without success and, as a last resort, used pepper spray. There was outrage, concern for the child, but also a questioning of legal fees. As I wrote in an earlier column, It was a sad day for everyone. But now that the child is in another school, a private one paid for by taxpayers, and the lawsuits against the county, the Belmont-Redwood Shores school district and the city of San Mateo have been resolved, the question remains about the appropriate care and cost of special education students. *** There is a federal mandate that every child, no matter what the disability, is entitled to a free and appropriate education. The mandate covers ages 321. There are few federal dollars to match implementation. When the law was passed, the federal government promised to pay at least 40 percent, but that has not happened. Today, it is closer to 15 percent. That means public schools must pick up most of the cost of placement in district special education or county special day classes, or in private schools, no matter what the distance or expense, if that is deemed necessary. Costs include special aides for students who have severe physical handicaps, very small classes with multiple staff for students with severe mental or emotional conditions, and transportation. Its a tall order for California schools which have been facing budget woes since Proposition 13. Its also a national problem. To fulll the mandate these students do need special and extra help to succeed or even just function in school. And the parents usually win when they go to court if they dont receive what is expected. *** In San Mateo County, there are 10,186 special ed students, about 10 percent of the total school population. Special needs are dened as mental retardation; hearing, speech, language, visual and orthopedic impairments; emotional disturbance; learning disabilities; and autism. In the last 10 years, the biggest jump has been in autism from 236 cases in 2000 to 962 today. However, the largest number of students continue to be those with learning disabilities or speech and language impairments. The total cost of educating these students can range from 6 percent to 22 percent of a schools general fund budget. It varies depending on need and placement. Those attending private schools, especially those out of state, will cost districts much more. Today, the San Mateo Union High School District pays the most for special ed $9,410,048 followed by San Mateo Foster City elementary at $9,260,521. These numbers dont tell half the story. As school funding declines and the number and severity of special ed students increases, will the burden on school districts become too heavy to bear without sacricing the quality of education for all students? *** I asked county superintendent of schools, Anne Campbell for her thoughts on this conundrum. We are working hard not to get to that point, she said. The trend is for more students to attend district classes at local schools instead of more expensive county-run special day classes. This reduces transportation costs. In 2004, there were 803 pupils enrolled in county programs; today there are just 362. Meanwhile, the overall number of special ed students has increased. Identifying students early is also important, says Campbell. Once a child is identied as special needs, an Individual Education Program is created by the parents and professionals. The IEP determines placement. Each school district contributes to the county special ed pool depending on its students placements. For example, Belmont-Redwood Shores with a total general fund budget of $26,139,557 paid $5,961,536 or 22.81 percent of its total budget on special ed last year. *** A former high school special ed director once told me the current system was unsustainable and there needed to be a cap on how much school districts had to pay for out of state placement. I asked Campbell about this and she repeated that no matter what the disability the child was entitled to a free and appropriate education. A district who refused to pay would be in violation of the federal mandate. *** The Woodside Fire Department (woodsidere.org) has a special training program for situations similar to the pepper spray incident when a child is unresponsive: When Words Are Not Enough. WWANE includes a video, sign language and icons, a manual which teaches responders about the special needs of some children and adults with regards to emergency services.

Sorrow for loss of journalist
Editor, I am writing on behalf of the San Mateo County Republican Party to express our profound sorrow at the loss journalist of Andrew Breitbart. Andrew was a leader in the citizen journalism movement creating grassroots change through the use of social media. Andrew uncovered the systemic fraud and corruption of ACORN ... and hypocrisy of congressmen, senators and senior administration ofcials, according to the California Young Republican Party and leaves a legacy of accountable government through journalism. He was revered and respected as a champion of freedom, individual rights and the truth. Andrew Breitbart leaves behind his wife, Susie, and their four young children. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. in a water conveyance system that Dianne and Jerry support. Meanwhile Obama 2012 stickers are popping up everywhere in California. That is ne, but please allow citizens who feel differently a voice without fear of a physical altercation. A salute to Breitbart who showed no fear in questioning the institutional left. Not easy these days. grams exist as parts of the social safety net for people who are older, suffer from chronic disabilities or qualify for other reasons. If people vote to eliminate these programs then they leave themselves vulnerable to economic events, as seen in the stock market (private sector) crash of the 1930s. The real giveaway in our society and the biggest handout of all is the tax breaks that the very wealthy enjoy which enable them to live like kings while the burden of taxation falls on the middle class. When you go to church, do you expect the poorest members of the congregation to give the most in offering or the people who are of greater means and have more to give? One just has to ask oneself, If the country is ever faced with an economic depression as great as the 1930s, would you rather be selling pencils on the street corner or qualify for a federally funded program to help you through the hard times?

Hats off to Dorothy

Editor, I wish to give kudos to Dorothy Dimitre for her enlightening column, Justiable indignation in the Feb. 17 edition of the Daily Journal. She nally came out of the closet, although it was sugarcoated. Nonetheless, she told the reading public that they were just too stupid to make decisions on their own and that only the government was capable of making those decisions for them. I would like to point out to Dorothy that the same people who she thinks are not educated enough to think for themselves will be the ones working for her government: a government that will tell everyone what they can eat and drive and when to have a re, a baby or a life for that matter. And, remember, she is not one of the stupid ones.

Citizens United
Editor, The U.S. Supreme Court has a chance now to x the enormous mistake it made in the Citizens United decision. A Montana case challenging that Supreme Court decision has just been appealed back to the Court (American Tradition Partnership vs. Bullock). Justice Scalia recently said, If the system seems crazy to you, dont blame it on the court. Well, I do blame it on the Supreme Court. Its decision in the Citizens United case two years ago is destroying our democracy. Polls show 80 percent of Americans want Citizens United overturned. Scott Grinthal San Mateo
He will be missed
Editor, The conservative movement lost a true soldier and fearless crusader for their views with the passing of Andrew Breitbart. Standing up to the left especially in California is a tougher and tougher proposition for conservatives. I was thinking of getting a Romney sticker for my car the other day. I think he is the best candidate for president. Both my wife and mother said that would be provocative and I shouldnt do it. I had to scratch my head. Provocative for whom? I mean, I get it; the area I live in is very supportive of taxing others to pay for what we want. What decit? Bring on the Chinatown tunnel, high-speed rail and lets throw

13,000 has some worried

By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK Whats not to like about Dow 13,000? While some investors cheered when the blue-chip index closed above that level Tuesday for the rst time since May 2008, some were wringing their hands. The Dow Jones industrial average has left the Dow transportation average behind, and that could mean trouble. Theres a risk that stocks could slide, says Bruce McCain, chief strategist at Key Private Bank. Adds Dennis Slothower, editor of the investor newsletter Stealth Stock Daily: When the Dow leads everything else, thats not a healthy sign. The rap on the Dow is that it tracks the biggest, most nancially stable companies. Technical analysts, who study previous stock movements to anticipate future ones, say you have to look at other indexes, too. Take the Dow Jones transportation average, the granddaddy of indexes, which traces its origins to 1884. It tracks railroads, shipping companies and airlines the businesses that move people and goods through the economy. This collection of 20 stocks fell 3 percent in February, counting reinvested
dividends, while the better-known Dow Jones industrial average rose 2.5 percent. Since last April, the high for most indexes last year, the transports have dropped 6 percent, compared with a 1.2 percent gain for the Dow. Technical analysts say that if one index reaches a high and the other doesnt, that means the rally could falter. They say thats what happened before stocks tanked in 1929, 1937 and 2000. The analysts disagree over how much to worry now. And the Dow is not the only index climbing fast. A day after the Dow closed at 13,005, the Nasdaq composite index of technology stocks briey broke through 3,000 for the rst time in 11 years. Still, there are worrisome signs besides transportation stocks that the rally may not last: The price of gasoline is up, too. The average for a gallon of unleaded is $3.74 (nearly $1 a liter), the highest on record this time of year. Some investors believe gas prices are the biggest threat to the rally because when people pay more at the pump, they often spend less elsewhere. The Russell 2,000 is still off its high. The popular index of smaller stocks, the kind of iffy outfits that surge when investors feel like taking big risks, has
rallied 8 percent this year but is still 6 percent below its high of April 29. Traders are scarce. About 4 billion shares are trading every day on the New York Stock Exchange, compared with about 4.4 billion last year. That suggests investors arent buying with much conviction. Main Street still isnt bullish. Investors pulled $137 billion from U.S. stock mutual funds from last June through January, according to Strategic Insight, an industry consulting group. Technical analysts watching the transportation average for signals to buy or sell can make your head spin with their talk of head and shoulders patterns, Fibonacci retracements and resistance areas. But even investors who usually talk in normal English have taken note of the lagging index lately and lapsed into techno-speak. A day after the Dow hit 13,000, David Rosenberg, the normally lucid chief economist at Gluskin Sheff & Associates, put out a report noting the recent nonconrmation signal from the transportation average. A few days earlier, the folks at research group Bespoke Investment wrote a note to clients pointing out the negative divergence themselves. Translation: Watch out.
From idea to store shelf: A new product is born

By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK It took eight years, 450 product sketches, 6,000 consumer tests and hundreds of millions of dollars for Procter & Gamble to create something that it hopes will be destroyed in the wash. Tide Pods are palm-size, liquid detergent-lled tablets that are designed to be tossed in the washer to take the measuring cups and messiness out of laundry. P&G says the product, which hit store shelves last month, is its biggest innovation in laundry in about a quarter of a century. Tide Pods arent the sexiest of inventions, but they illustrate how mature companies that are looking for growth often have to tweak things as mundane as soap and detergent. The story behind Tide Pods provides a window into the time, money and brainpower that goes into doing that. P&G, the maker of everything from Pampers diapers to Pantene shampoo, has built its 175-year history on creating things people need and then improving them. (Think: Ivory soap in 1879; Swiffer Sweeper in 1999.) Each year, the company spends $2 billion on research and development and rolls out about 27 products worldwide more than two a month. That focus on innovation has paid off. P&G says 98 percent of American households have at least one of its products in their cupboards, broom closets or bathrooms. And while about 15 to 20 percent of all
new products succeed, P&G has claimed a 50 percent success rate. Four of the top 10 new consumer products in 2010 were made by P&G, according to research rm SymphonyIRI. What theyve gotten very good at is being able to understand consumer expectations, says Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys Inc., a New York customer research rm. But improving things like window cleaner and toilet paper can take years. It also can cost hundreds of millions of dollars or up to 100 percent of rstyear sales to develop, make and market them. And even then, new products are a tough sell to consumers. You have to develop a product that is meaningfully better than the ones out there, which is tough because generally speaking consumer products work pretty well, says Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Bernstein Research who follows P&G. You then have to convince the consumer to try the product ... and then get that consumer to break their old habit to make a new one. The laundry detergent industry, with $6.5 billion in annual sales, is always looking for the next big thing.

Liquid Tide, which costs about $15 for 32 loads, is the best-selling detergent, according to SymphonyIRI, the research rm. But cheaper rivals have been gaining: For instance, the number of units sold of Church & Dwights Arm & Hammer Oxi-Clean Laundry, the No. 2 detergent brand that costs $8 for 35 loads, rose 13 percent in the past year. Unit sales of Liquid Tide were at. In 2004, P&G decided to try to freshen up the category. Surveys and observations of 6,000 consumers found that more than a third dreaded doing laundry. A big reason: Many apartment dwellers hated lugging a seven-pound detergent bottle downstairs to the laundry room or a Laundromat and back. Researchers also found that people rewashed loads about 20 percent of the time because they thought detergent didnt get their laundry clean enough. And many were confused about which detergent to use when they wash in different ways: in regular washers versus high-efciency machines; in big loads or small; and in hot or cold water. We knew people felt laundry was complicated, says Alex Keith, vice president of P&Gs unit that makes laundry detergents and fabric softeners.

Bearcats share CCS title Colts fall in

sheet, settling for a scoreless draw and a share of the CCS title. In the Division I title game, topseeded Menlo-Atherton (17-1-5) suffered its rst loss of the season, falling to No. 3 Watsonville, 3-1. San Mateo and fourth-seeded Willow Glen battled through 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime without either team rippling the net. The goalie is only as good as his defense, Amaya said. It would have been awesome for it to be obvious we won, but we played an excellent game. Amaya made several spectacular, world-class saves to preserve the tie and earn a piece of San Mateos rst ever CCS soccer championship. Incredible, is how San Mateo coach Chuck Callaghan described Amayas performance. Hes done it all year. Willow Glen, the defending Division II champion, wasted little time in testing Amaya, forcing him to make a reex save mere moments after the opening kickoff as he pushed a shot over the crossbar. From the rst whistle, you have to be ready, Amaya said. It all starts with a great warm-up. Willow Glen, which was the Division II runner-up two years ago, dominated San Mateo. It appeared the Rams had more than the allowed 11 players on the eld as they dominated possession. The Rams earned earned 12 corner kicks to just two for San Mateo, won nearly every 50-50 ball and ball in the air, and pressured the Bearcats all over the eld. The Bearcats could never get into a rhythm and had a tough time stringing multiple passes together.

Ladies are co-champs at Aragon

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
You gotta believe. It might be just a simple slogan to some, but to the Aragon girls soccer team, its the motto theyve been living for the last year, wearing on the back of their team gear, preaching to each other throughout the 20112012 season. And on Saturday, in the Central Coast Section Division II final against 11-time champion Archbishop Mitty, with seemingly the entire CCS universe doubting they even stood a chance against the mighty Monarchs, the Dons translated that slogan into 100 minutes of inspired soccer. And thus, for only the second time in school history, Aragon girls soccer is a CCS champion. The Dons tied Mitty 2-2 to share the Division II title. Perhaps more appropriately though, the Monarchs tied Aragon. While that might be surprising to some, seeing as though Mitty was the No. 5 team in the county heading into Saturday, the Dons played like a squad that belonged. Aragon led twice, 1-0, and 2-1. The last lead came on a magical right-footed ying ick by Angela Knowles from an equally

Tigers outworked for CCS title

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SANTA CLARA With three Division I college recruits, this year was the year the Terra Nova girls basketball team nally captured that elusive Central Coast Section Division III crown. The Tigers went into Saturdays championship game at Santa Clara University as the top seed and appeared to be the favorite against a Sacred Heart Cathedral squad that was just two wins over .500 on the season. But the Irish proved why theyve won 11 CCS titles since 2000. The Irish out-hustled and out-played
Terra Nova, beating the Tigers 6156. They hustled, said Terra Nova coach Kareem Summerville about SHC. Whoever wants it more is going to win the ball game and our girls didnt want it. Nothing illustrated that point better than in the rst half when Terilyn Moe, who was bringing the ball up court following an Irish basket, had the ball deect off the heel of an Irish defender, sending it rolling toward the baseline. As Moe jogged over to retrieve it, SHCs Briannah Smith sprinted from her defensive position, nearly the length of the court to beat Moe to the ball and give the Irish another possession.
There was also plenty of standing around and watching by the Tigers as the Irish crashed the boards more effectively and their quickness led to a number of easy layups. Summerville, who said the teams know each other very well because half the players on each squad play for the same club team, expected the Irish to come in with a different look. Summerville knew if the Irish went big, there would be a number of mismatches for the Tigers. Instead, SHC went the opposite direction. We knew they would change their approach, Summerville said.

Not all epic journeys end triumphantly. El Caminos historic run through the 2011-2012 boys basketball season came to a disappointing end at the hands of Sacred Heart Cathedral Saturday afternoon, 71-53. But perhaps more disheartening than anything the Colts did on the court is the question of what if, as in, what if El Camino was at full strength? Would it have made any difference considering the player that was missing was the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Most Valuable this season? The truth is, Colt fans will never know. El Camino was already an underdog heading into Saturdays game against the 3-time defending Division III champions. But they were severely handicapped when they arrived to Santa Clara University without starting point guard Elijah White. The junior point guard was scratched from the El Camino roster prior to Saturdays game. While head coach Archie Junio did not have an official word from the school, he did confirm that El Camino suspended White on Friday for an incident on campus. Rumors are swirling, but Junio said the school is conducting an investigation. So, as it stood, El Camino had no answer for Cathedrals backcourt, who penetrating and dished out throughout the rst half as the Irish built a 21-point halftime lead. We needed the full force of our arsenal, Junio said. And unfortunately, we didnt have it. And even with Elijah, who knows if we had a better chance anyway. We needed to be clicking on all cylinders and we werent. They shot the ball really well, said El Camino guard Anthony Smith. Every shot they took went down. It sure seemed like that was the case for Sacred Heart, especially in that rst half. The Irish shot 61 percent from the oor in quarters one and two as they gradually shoveled dirt on the El Camino grave. With the score tied 8-8, Cathedral went on their rst big run, 10-2 and led 25-15 after one quarter. They pressured us really hard, said El Camino shooting guard Michael Smith. It was hard to get open shots and thats what we do best. Anthony (Knight), he came out strong, went to the basket, but we didnt get many foul calls. Cathedral welcomed backed Joshua Fox, who sat on the bench near years end with injury and ill-

beautiful pass by Kimi Petsche in the second overtimes 100th minute that nearly gave Aragon the championship completely. But in a testament to just how good Mitty really is, in the most pure sense of the term sudden-death, the Monarchs got a miracle ying-goal of their own off the right foot of Stephanie Rebagliati less than a minute later to equalize. Saturdays nish to the Division II championship was truly fantastic. The fact that we tied takes nothing away from the fact that we stood toe-to-toe with the best and we get to put champions next to our name for this season, said Aragon head coach Will Colglazier. Im more focused on the fact that we played really well in the overtime. I thought we controlled the rst half, they controlled the second. I thought in overtime, we got more chances, we were more aggressive. But that goal, it was really pretty. Its an indescribable feeling, Petsche said. Im so proud that we came out, denitely the underdogs and we just came into the game thinking we had nothing to lose, so we might as well give it our all. We said in the beginning of the year it was a goal to make it to this day - saying it and doing it is a completely different thing. Its a great feeling. To be honest, CCS is mixed, Catholic schools recruit, public dont, said Aragon captain Rachel Killigrew. So to do that against a school that recruits, its amazing. Especially in the 30 seconds left, we were winning - it sucks we couldnt hold on to it, but you know what, co-champions, well take it. Were still champions. That oh-so-sweet feeling echoed throughout the Aragon crowd after the game. To some, the tie might not seem as fullling. But the fact that they stood and competed against a team in Mitty who was 20-1-3 heading into the game (and had only allowed 11 goals all season), was not lost on Aragon. The rst half belonged to Aragon. The Dons got the better looks on goal and possessed the ball better than Mitty. It didnt take long though to see how deadly the Monarchs could be on the counterattack though - their best opportunities came there. Aragon was short-handed heading into the game. They were without the services of Lexie Rogers, starting left back, and Stevie Herrera, their most erce midelder. But Colglaziers replacements didnt miss a beat. Arianna Campos played the game of her life in Rogers place, while the efforts of the entire backline, particularly Ally Lim, cannot go overlooked especially considering Killigrew had a more of a mideld roll in Saturdays game. Jennifer Lewis, who started

in place of Herrera, was solid as well. Aragon earned a huge break at the tail end of the rst half. It was then that Knowles was taken down by Nicole Wheeler a foot away from the penalty box. After conferring with each other, the referees determined Wheelers foul deserved soccers ultimate punishment and No. 26 was sent off with a straight red card. Moments later, Killigrew really made the infraction sting, stepping up and sending a marvel into the back of the Mitty net for the 10 lead. There isnt a goalkeeper in CCS that could have stopped that shot. Aragon led a stunned Mitty team 1-0 at halftime. Still, the Monarchs are a special team in that their 10-player team will beat most 11player teams on any given day. The second half was a full-on blitz by the Monarchs they put three defenders in the back and came on strong looking for the equalizer. We tried to play more possession, Colglazier said. And, testament to Mitty, they played aggressive. But I thought our girls were able to withstand the storm. Its in the second half that the Most Valuable Player of the game emerged. Ashley Lentz was sensational in goal for Aragon perhaps a level above sensational. Shes making saves that she didnt make last year, Colglazier said. Shes denitely the best keeper Ive seen - really studly play. It was fun to see her play so well. Lentz had to be razor sharp because Mitty did not stop coming. It was basically, play Aragon soccer, Killigrew said of her teams second half play. There were parts of it where we did, parts of it where we didnt. At halftime, we said no more corners. And they had a ton of corners. It was a corner in the 60th minute that Mitty made the Dons pay. Madison Salom inswing somehow died in front of the Aragon goal and Abigaile Leedeman was there to poke it home for the 1-1 score. Mitty wasnt done. They had at least a pair of wide-open looks at goal, which they didnt convert. And everyone other time, Lentz was there to thwart the effort. In all, Mitty took nine corner kicks in the second half - each one a nail-biter for Aragon players and fans. But the game went into the overtime periods tied at one. Aragon reasserted itself in the rst overtime, but the game stayed tied heading into period two. While the tension was high through the rst eight minutes, nothing really surfaced, that was until a Mitty injury with two minutes left started a series of mind-boggling events. The Mitty player spent several minutes on the turf being attended to and, because the clocks stop at 2:00 and the ofcial time is then kept by the head referee, no one in attendance knew exactly how much time was left. Therefore, when Petsche lobbed an exquisite ball to Knowles, who put world-class touch at the end of it for the 2-1 advantage, everyone thought Aragon was going to pull off the allout shocker. It was a perfect ball from Kimi, Knowles said of the goal. And I just tried to slow myself down as the goalie was coming out and hit it at the right time and it worked. I just tried to put it in the right place. We were all so excited, Lentz said. I
think we just got a little ahead of ourselves. Yes they did. Mitty got a dead ball some 40 yards from goal seconds later as the world awaited a nal whistle. On the restart, the ball was played just outside the penalty box, icked with a head and then timed wonderfully by a ying Rebagliati for the equalizing tally. The game ended seconds later on the restart. Champions or co-champions, the nal score did not dictate how Aragon felt about their effort. For some players, Killigrew and Marissa Bonglio, it was a chance to play a game that two years ago they couldnt because of illness. This was so special for me, Bonglio said. It felt so amazing to nally play. We knew coming out to this game we were the underdogs so we had to give it our all. Theyre a super good team so we had to come out and it give it, 120 percent. Its a huge deal for school, said Jenny Winterbottom. Its a huge deal for us because we made it this far and we could compete against a team like Mitty. And they were lucky to tie us. Itll always be sweet, Lentz said. No matter what the thought of getting another star on our jersey, we deserve it.
DIVISION III MENLO 2, SANTA CRUZ 0

Much like the rest of the Menlo girls soccer teams season, the Central Coast Section Division II championship culminated in a shutout 2-0 over Santa Cruz on Saturday at Valley Christian High. Menlo nished the season with 11 shutouts in an incredible run that included its rst league title since 1991. The Knights last won CCS titles from 1988-1990. This is the Knights rst championship outright. Sophomore Jaye Boissiere put the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick in the 43rd minute and fellow sophomore Chandler Wickers secured the victory with a goal in the 67th minute. We played a very good team, Menlo coach Donoson FitzGerald said. We certainly have some incredible individuals, but this team all the way through is strong. We found a way to win with different players stepping up. Its hard to put a nger on it, FitzGerald said. "I love this team. I love to see who they are as people. The formidable tag team of juniors Kelly McConnell and Julia Dressel in goal recorded yet another shutout. Menlo School Athletics contributed to this report.

bigger Cathedral shot. El Camino was outscored 20-9 in the second quarter, with the Irish taking a 4524 lead into recess. They executed a bit better, said El Caminos Jalen Bitanga. They were getting a lot more open shots than we were, they played harder, they wanted it more than us and they got it. We knew we were in a slump, Smith said about the halftime message. We were down by a lot but we just tried to get it tight and get into the game. El Camino was unsuccessful in that effort, thanks in large part to Cathedrals work on the offensive glass. While the stat sheet says that El Camino actually out-rebounded the Irish on the offensive end (2014), Cathedral converted their boards into buckets. El Camino could not string together more than two buckets in the second half. The Colts cut the lead to 18 by the start of the fourth quarter on 5 of 14 shooting in the third quarter. We tried out there, Knight said. We tried to knock down some shots, rebound more, play more aggressive D. But it just didnt go our way. El Camino got Irish big-man Taylor Johns, whos had a monster 2012 CCS tournament, to foul out with 4:07 left in the game. Fox picked up most of that slack though, finishing with eight points and 13 rebounds. But as Junio mentioned, the Achilles hell for El Camino Saturday was Cathedrals guard play. Irish guards combined for 35 points (48 if you list Herman Pratt as a guard instead of a small forward) which just adds to Saturdays what if? Hes a big part of our team, Smith said of White. But we felt like, with or without him, we should beat this team. We were in the game, but mentally, I guess some of our teammates werent there. It was a hard loss. No, we gotta do what we gotta do, Junio said when asked if Whites presence would have made a big enough difference to say, reverse the outcome. I feel like Alex Huerta, our back-up point guard, stepped up, did a good job. But we cant say, hes not here. Smith led the Colts with 23 points. Knight scored 14 and pulled down nine rebounds. Bitanga was a monster inside at times for El Camino. He scored 12 points and brought down 11 boards. The season continues for El Camino with their first-ever appearance in the state playoffs this week. And their run through the PAL and CCS this season was still one to remember.

So thats pretty much what happened. We were banking on them missing some shots, but they werent missing very many shot from the outside.

prising ones. Despite being outplayed for most of the game, the Bearcats made the Rams sweat late in the second half of regulation when they had their most sustained attack of the game. Angel Mejia and Alejandro Mendoza made a number of dangerous runs, but they could not make that nal pass to make the Rams goalkeeper work. When the Rams goalie was called upon, he made the play. Soon after Amayas game saver, Mejia was taken down just outside the penalty near the left sideline - essentially a corner kick. Ryan Onizuka sent the cross into the goal box, but Willow Glens Anthony Macias beat Turtletaub to it, snatching the ball out of the air before he could get a head on it. In the end, neither team was especially thrilled to finish in a tie. Despite that, Callaghan put it in perspective.

Swarm of bees delays Giants game

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. This was no B game. The Diamondbacks grounds crew used a combination of cotton candy and lemonade to help disperse a swarm of bees that delayed the San Francisco Giants split squads 11-1 win over Arizona for 41 minutes in the second inning Sunday. With runners on second and third and one out in the second inning, a dark cloud appeared in right field, sending Diamondbacks center fielder Chris Young sprinting toward left. I didnt see them at first I just heard them, Young said. I am not afraid of one or two of them. I wouldnt flinch at that. When you start talking about 500, 600 of them yea, I am afraid of that. I would be afraid of anything of that many. If there were that many mosquitoes, I would be afraid of that. The bees moved toward the right field line then down to the Giants dugout behind first base. Two sections of fans near the dugout were evacuated and the bees settled in a camera well adjacent to the dugout. With the bees buzzing, Young and right fielder Adam Eaton signed autographs and mingled with fans near the center field fence. Giants center fielder Angel Pagan was prepared if the bees reached the dugout. I was right next to the bathroom in case I had to lock myself in, Pagan said. The grounds crew came up with a sweet solution. They smeared a combination of concession-stand lemonade and cotton candy on two utility carts and lured many of the bees away from fans and players. Some of the bees, however, found a perch on a television camera. Only one person reported being stung, a

Salt River Fields employee. Diamondback ace Ian Kennedy was on the mound when the bees showed up and didnt return after the 41-minute delay. Kennedy threw 29 pitches, allowing one run and three hits. I was almost done. I was ready to go back out there but it was way too long to go back in, Kennedy said. I threw a lot of fastballs, one or two breaking balls to get my command but for the most par a lot of fastballs. In an earlier split-squad game with the Brewers, reigning NL MVP Ryan Braun was heckled while striking out in his only two atbats in the Milwaukee Brewers 1-all tie with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
It was Brauns first game since getting caught up in a drug case during the offseason. He recently won his appeal, overturning a 50-game suspension for a positive drug test. The game was at Milwaukees Maryvale Baseball Park and Brewers fans gave Braun a standing ovation when he came to bat. But about half of the 6,619 fans cheered for the Giants and greeted Braun with catcalls. They serenaded the Brewers slugger with chants of Ur-ine Sam-ple! before Braun struck out swinging against Madison Bumgarner in his first at-bat. His second time up, Braun was greeted with chants of Cheater! before looking at strike three. Braun was getting the kind of treatment Barry Bonds used to draw toward the end of his career and from the very fans who were the only ones who didnt deride the Giants superstar who was long suspected of using steroids. Braun said he was glad the games are finally here. Yeah, it was great. I think for all of us as a team, you look forward to games starting. Its a little more adrenaline, little more excitement and enthusiasm. So, it was fun, he said. The Brewers got a double dose of bad news before the game when Rickie Weeks (tight right shoulder) and right fielder Corey Hart (right knee) were late scratches. An MRI exam revealed Hart has a torn meniscus and needs arthroscopic surgery that will sideline him three to four weeks. Then, Milwaukees biggest star got razzed at his home spring park. Brewers starter Randy Wolf, who retired all six batters he faced, said he was oblivious to the catcalls directed at Braun, who has never really been the target of opposing fans wrath before. Terra Nova, finally showing some urgency, opened the final period by cutting the SHC lead to 49-45 with 5:07 to play. The Irish responded with an 8-1 run, opening up a 57-46 lead when Jerrieza Enriquez nailed a 3-pointer with 2:52 left. Enriquez added another 3 for a 10-point lead with 1:39 left, and despite struggling from the line down the stretch, the Irish did enough to hold off the Tigers. [We] were kind of nervous at the beginning, Summerville said. Defense is the key. We gave up a lot of easy jumpers, easy layups. [We] just didnt do the little things we normally do.
TIGERS
They went with all guards. In addition to simply wanting the ball more, the Irish also did a much better job of shooting, belying their experience in championship games at the Leavey Center. First-time teams in the cavernous gym almost always struggle with their shots and Terra Nova was no exception. The Tigers shot just 27 percent from the field, while SHC was 44 percent.
In a sign of things to come, after winning the opening tip, Moe drove along the baseline for a routine layup - and missed. As shot after shot clanged off the rim, Terra Nova stopped doing what it does best, play team basketball. Instead of running our offense, they took themselves out of the game, Summerville said. We were (not playing) team basketball; a lot of 1-on-1 situations. Thats usually not such a bad option as Moe, Ivonne Cook Taylor and Jayzyl Tauala are usually better than a lot of players individually, none could really get themselves going - especially in the first
half. Both Moe and Cook Taylor combined for 18 first-half points, but five of those came from the free-throw line. Tauala was shut out in the first 16 minutes. They didnt pass to her (Tuala). You have to give her the ball, Summerville said. If she gets started, everyone else gets going. Cook Taylor ended up with a team-high 22 points, to go along with 14 rebounds, while Moe added 15. SHC was paced by GeAnna Summers-Lululus gamehigh 24 points. Smith chipped in 11. Despite their shooting woes, the Tigers managed to hang with the
Irish. They trailed 16-11 after one quarter, but fell behind by 10 when SHCs Kayla Coloyan hit a layup with 5:09 left in the second quarter. The Tigers responded with an 83 run to close the half and trailed just 29-24 at halftime. Terra Novas shooting struggles continued in the third quarter and if not for the play of Cook Taylor, the Tigers would have been staring at a huge deficit. Cook Taylor finally found her stroke in the second half, scoring nine of the Tigers 12 thirdquarter points. Unfortunately, the Tigers couldnt get a defensive stop and the Irish took a 43-36 lead into the fourth quarter.

McIlroy said. And it denitely wasnt a birdie roar. For Woods, it was a moment that nally put some color into that red shirt, a Rory McIlroy birdie-eagle nish for a 62, the lowest nal round of his career to get within one shot of the lead and force the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland to play the nal hour with little room for error. But this is no ordinary kid. McIlroy answered with clutch shots of his own, a performance that showed why hes the new No. 1 in golf. He poured in the 8-foot birdie putt on the 13th for a two-shot lead. He gouged out a wedge from grass so deep he could barely see the ball to save par on the 14th, and he twice saved par from the bunker on the scary par 3s for a 1-under 69 and a two-shot win. It was tough today, especially seeing Tiger make a charge, McIlroy said. I knew par golf would probably be good enough. To shoot 1 under in these conditions, when you go into the round with the lead, is very nice. And I was just able to get the job done. McIlroy became the 16th player to be No. 1 since the world ranking began in 1986, and the fourth player in the last 16 months since Woods abdicated the top spot after a veyear reign.

AVONDALE, Ariz. Denny Hamlin spent nearly two months of the offseason in the Scottsdale area, hoping to get away from racing for a while, reinvigorate himself for the 2012 season. It seemed to do wonders, leading to a win at a place where he had one of the biggest disappointments of his career. Hamlin pulled away when NASCARs best closer ran out of gas and then had to sweat out his own fuel mileage before completing a confidence-boosting win at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday. Its a little bit of satisfaction there, for sure, Hamlin said. Its a bittersweet track. It was, in fact, the site of one of his worst memories as a driver. Hamlin seemed to have a comfortable lead over Jimmie Johnson in
the penultimate race of the 2010 Chase when his title hopes were derailed by a fuel strategy that backred. Forced to pit for fuel late in the race, he scrambled just to nish 19th while Johnson was fth. Hamlin left the desert dejected after his lead was trimmed to 15 points and ended up losing the title the next week to Johnson, who earned his record fifth straight Sprint Cup championship. Hamlin then had bit of a hangover to start the 2011 season and never really clicked, ending up ninth in the Sprint Cup standings. Thats where his return to the desert comes in. Hamlin started 13th at PIR and briefly led a couple of times before beating Kevin Harvick off the line after a caution with 59 laps left. Harvick, NASCARs best finisher, put a scare into him toward the end, but ran out of gas on the final lap.

Loraxrakes in the green

By Christy Lemire
our cat wants to get high. And, Im not talking about cat nip. He wants the real deal. In fact, he may want several places to get high and to get high as a kite. That is, as high as he can get inside your home. Climbing shelves will give him that high. Imagine a set of small climbing shelves, much like stairs with a gradual incline, attached to a wall inside your home, each about 18 inches long by a 10 inches deep. The rst might be four or ve feet from the ground and the next would be a few feet higher, one easy leap away. Another short leap can take him to another shelf. Then, one long shelf just below the ceiling, spanning the length of a wall inside your home. Your cat can have his one little lane in the sky inside your house. Climbing shelves are benecial for a few reasons. For folks with small living quarters, they give your cat more space. They also encourage activity. And, for people with multiple cat homes or homes with a dog and cat, the shelves offer your cat a great space to be alone and chill. As you might imagine, companies make shelving specically for this purpose. But, there are also less expense DIY alternatives, such as purchasing shelves and wall brackets from a home store. IKEA carries chunky shelves in black or brown and nicelooking brushed nickel mounting brackets which could give you a swanky look. Once the shelves are in place, theres one more step. Add a surface material that will provide traction and give your cat a place to stretch and scratch. Sisal, the usual material of choice, can be purchased in small quantities, then attached with a sturdy double-sided tape. With a little bit of your time and about $100, you can greatly enhance your cats space.

LOS ANGELES Dr. Seuss The Lorax raked in all kinds of green, earning $70.7 million in its rst weekend to score the biggest box-ofce debut of the year by far. The 3-D animated family film from Universal Pictures, featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, is based on Seuss cautionary fable about the importance of preserving the environment. Of its opening haul, $5.4 million, or 8 percent, came from IMAX screens, which is on the high side for a family lm. Coming in second place with a strong debut of its own was the R-rated Project X, about a trio of high school mists who throw a raging party in hopes of becoming popular. The Warner Bros. comedy made about $20.8 million, according to Sunday studio estimates. The Lorax comes from the makers of Despicable Me, Illumination Entertainment, led by producer Christopher Meledandri and director Chris Renaud. It actually had a bigger opening than that lm, which debuted with $56.4 million in July 2010. It also scored the biggest opening for a Dr. Seuss adaptation, topping the $55.1 million that How the Grinch Stole Christmas made in 2000. Before this, The Vow had the best debut of 2012 with $41.2 million. I was stunned from Friday, when The Lorax made $17.4 million, said Nikki Rocco, Universals president of domestic distribution. It then made a huge leap on Saturday, earning $31.3 million. Who would have expected a result like this? Rocco attributed the movies success to a combination of a) a great lm, b) an incredible marketing campaign and b-plus) the need for another family lm in the marketplace. I think that has a lot to do with it. ... People love Dr. Seuss, she added, and audiences now know about Illumination and Chris Meledandri, what he delivers. The strong showing for The Lorax continues a trend of movies overperforming so far this year, said Paul Dergarabedian, box-ofce analyst for Hollywood.com. Revenues are up 19 percent from this point in 2011. Its so different from what we were seeing
Dr.SeussThe Loraxearned more than $70 million at the weekend box ofce.
last year and especially the end of last year. Now its like a box-ofce bonanza, Dergarabedian said. What a great turnaround from where we were last year with the down-trending week after week and the lowest attendance in 15 years. If we keep up this pace, were going to be looking at a massive summer. Some huge sequels are coming out this summer, Dergarabedian pointed out, including The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man. Dergarabedian had expected The Lorax would open somewhere in the $45-to-$50 million range and that Project X, in a bit of counter-programming, would end up in the high teens: Warner Bros. perfectly put their R-rated, raunchy comedy right there in the same weekend as The Lorax and both lms did very well. Last weeks No. 1 movie, Act of Valor, dropped to third place with $13.7 million. The action picture from Relativity Media, which stars real, active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs, has made over $45.2 million total.

feeding the geese, Rogers said. All it takes is one or two chronic feeders to teach the geese to keep coming back. The RSCA has worked for nearly a year with ofcials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game and Redwood City to nd an answer to overpopulation and its messy by-products. In Redwood Shores, the non-migrating Canada geese have made themselves at home in landscaped areas because of the short grass, lack of predators and the occasional hand feeding by people. As a result, the geese ocks are growing and with them excessive droppings up to a pound per goose each day and feathers, aggressive behavior and extra algae in waterways. After the city passes its ordinances, property owners can register for permits as long as they are 18 years or older, register between Jan. 1 and June 30 and act only between March 1 and June 30. The city once used a goose hazing service essentially the use of trained dogs to frighten away the birds but stopped ve or six years ago when the roughly $20,000 annual cost didnt t into budget restrictions, said Chris Beth, director of Parks, never did. Shafe had broken his spine in two places. On a remote trail, the boys headed back to the house where Shafe's wife Claire and the other ladies were watching The Help. They never nished the ick. Shafe's son Dylan shared the news of the accident. Claire grabbed water, ice, blankets and towels and headed to the trail. On the way there, a Jeep was following them. Once at the trailhead, those in the car behind turned out to be off-duty employees who heard the call for help and decided to answer since they were nearby. After being put onto a board to keep his back in place, Shafe was taken on a bumpy ride before the weather cleared up allowing a helicopter to take him to the hospital. Shafe's stay in the hospital is a bit of a blur. After three days at Santa Rosa Memorial, Shafe was transferred to Kaiser in Oakland. He left there in mid January and began staying at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. On Feb. 20, Shafe was able to go home. Shafe's progress has been remarkable. He attributes success to the therapy and meeting others in a similar situation Scaggs and the Edgar Winter Group. The guy was such a legendary gure for so many people, Douglas said. He inuenced so many bands. Douglas described Montrose as one of Ronnie the founding farmers Montrose of rock and roll, while Montroses wife, Leighsa, noted his work ethic. the request caught public attention after Rothaus made his opposition known. Rothaus worries the club having more room also gives it more opportunity for problems like those he says already plague the establishment. In January, the Planning Commission debated for hours but held off on a decision saying it rst wanted more information on noise, walkways and the entry and exit. The panel asked for an acoustic study and specics on how noise and a greater patron capacity of up to 178 people might have on other issues like public safety. Duncan maintains the bar isnt a problem but the perception of it is. He hopes serving food as well as alcohol will help stem those assumptions and any actual issues. The acoustic study requested by the commission cost $6,500, Duncan said. The study found that under existing conditions the club doesnt exceed standards but would if the front door was used as the main club entrance. Open portholes planned for the proposed patios perimeter wall would also exceed city standards from noise and live music but using clear Plexiglass would lower the volume enough, according to the study. Recreation and Community Services. The geese have been a low-level problem for about ve years but really kicked up recently, Rogers said. The community complained and whined but couldnt gure out a solution until Rogers said they sat down with state and federal wildlife ofcials for advice. Rogers said the last year of work has been to balance controlling the geese with environmental sensitivity and an understanding that there is no 100 percent solution. Rogers said the association wants to implement successful methods and avoid disasters like those in other cities when birds have been herded up and killed. Even that, he said, is a temporary measure. The city has not had any reports of residents improperly taking matters into their own hands, Beth said. The city also isnt aware of any nests with eggs but passing the ordinance is preparation in case the situation arises, he said. In other words, the city is getting all its ducks in a row. The Redwood City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, March 5 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City. who have decided to be positive about the situation. I'm so proud and grateful for where we are given what we have been through, said Claire, adding the family has been blessed. The couple has an amazing outlook on life given the challenges they've faced this year. Together 26 years, they met while at work. Claire joked that she had tagged along with him on an assignment and he kept trying to get rid of her. Shafe conceded he was nervous. She was pretty. Today the couple has a new set of wheels but is still together. They have two children - 19-year-old Dylan, studying at the College of San Mateo re academy, and 16-yearold Kendall, a junior at Carlmont High. And for now, their focus remains mastering their new life together. To support Jeff Shafe, and learn about upcoming fundraisers, visit htt://tinyurl.com/jeff-shafe.

He would play shows where there would be three standing ovations, and all he would talk about on the drive home is what he didnt do right. Montrose was working on releasing his rst DVD and was about to embark on a spring tour later this month that would have taken him across the U.S., Douglas said. Besides his wife, Montrose is survived by a daughter and ve grandchildren. Services are pending. The city also recommends limiting live entertainment on the patio to 10 p.m. and adding a security guard at the entrance. Duncan said he already employees three doormen although hes not sure if thats what the city is seeking. Its a language problem. I say potato, the city says po-tah-to. I lot of stuff is lost in confusion, Duncan said. Since the January Planning Commission meeting, Duncan went door to door on McCue Avenue and Montgomery Street to speak with residents. Many were busy or unavailable but a substantial amount offered signatures of support, he said. Now, exhausted by the process, hes just waiting for the next turn before the Planning Commission. I tried to do the best I can to present a good picture of the club, he said. Now, Im leaving it in their hands. The San Carlos Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Monday, March 5 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

becoming an economic issue in terms of cleaning up. Every time theres an event in a park, the Parks Department has to run some sort of machine like a vacuum to clean up, Rogers said. Tonight, the city will offer another helping hand. The City Council will likely approve an ordinance that lets property owners register with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for permits allowing them to disturb or remove nests without eggs and puncturing eggs inside the nests to prevent a new generation of goslings. Currently, the city bans harassing waterfowl in its parks and Redwood Shores bounded on three sides by water and the fourth by Highway 101 is lled with public spaces falling under the restrictions. Other measures include the use of goose fencing like that employed in nearby Foster City. The number one recommendation for change here and in all lower 48 states with similar problems is to get people to stop

LIFE
We've experienced such generosity and kindness, said Shafe. Claire agreed, adding how many people have become champions for the family willing to network and help. From helping with changes to the house to make it more wheelchair accessible to having frank conversations about their own-life changing situations. For all that went wrong, the Shafes were careful to point out how lucky they are. Claire losing her job, for example, allows her time to work on the house and learn skills needed to support her husband. That's only the start of the things the couple is thankful for. When Shafe was on the ride, he was also joined by friend Jay Delsecco, a San Mateo reman, happened to be on the ride. He stabilized his friend. Delsecco then told Shafe he would squeeze his ngers. Shafe was supposed to let his buddy know when he felt it. He

CLUB
Of those calls, Duncan said he and his supporters only count seven as alcoholrelated two driving while intoxicated arrests and ve drunk in public calls. He said calls for other matters like car alarms and vehicle towing should not be considered when the Planning Commission weighs whether the club should be granted a conditional use permit. But Rothaus said his stance against expansion and he emphasizes it is the expansion, not the club, he opposes hasnt changed. The spot checks are just as notable as other types of calls because they show that police believe extra presence is necessary to keep behavior in line. If the club was more tame, I dont think we would be doing them, he said. I really feel that without the passing checks we may have ended up with calls that could have been avoided. Duncan has been seeking a conditional use permit for the better part of a year but

MONDAY, MArch 5, 2012 PIScES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Co-workers are likely
to follow your lead, so do your best to provide a good example. If things dont go well, you should stop a minute and give others the know-how to make corrections. ArIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you depart from prudent spending, youll watch your bank account disappear in two shakes. Get hold of yourself and put a stop to the insanity. TAUrUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unfortunately, it isnt likely that youll be able to keep your problems to a minimum, mostly due to you thinking that you can do
what you want without any consequences. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be careful if matters dont go exactly as you think they should. To counteract an unexpected wrinkle, you could adopt an unwise strategy that would make matters much worse. cANcEr (June 21-July 22) -- It would be sagacious to have someone check your work if what youre doing involves a lot of facts and figures. A huge mistake could result from one tiny error. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- By deliberately acting in a manner that is diametrically opposed to persons who are trying to help you, you will only end up looking belligerent and ungrateful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youve heard it before: If you cant say something nice about someone, dont say anything at all. This could be especially wise thinking when dealing with in-laws or other relatives. LIBrA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont try to overpower people when trying to get them to accept your suggestions. If they dont like your ideas, putting pressure on them would only make matters worse. ScOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If the ideas youre espousing happen to conflict with the plans of others, trying to get your way would only add more stress to the situation. Its often wise to compromise. SAGITTArIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- In order to ap-
pease the demands of your associates, you might switch courses far too often to be effective. Making changes for changes sake does nothing for nobody. cAPrIcOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Doing something out of spite only makes matters worse for everyone, yourself included. In fact, such a move could easily boomerang, with you getting caught in the crosshairs and ending up taking all the hits. AQUArIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If its your responsibility to do something about a situation and it doesnt go well, dont attempt to point the finger of blame at another. Bite the bullet and correct matters yourself. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

At a massive rally just outside the Kremlin, Putin thanked his supporters for helping foil plots aimed at destroying Russia, sounding a nationalistic theme that has resonated with the prime ministers core supporters amid a wave of unprecedented protests. I have promised that we would win and we have won! he shouted to the ag-waving crowd, which responded with shouts of support. We have won in an open and honest struggle. He said the vote showed the
majority of Russians has rejected political provocations by his opponents aimed at destroying Russias stateVladimir Putin hood and usurping power. Putin tallied 58-59 percent of the vote, according to exit polls cited by state television. Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov received about 18 percent, according to the surveys, and the others nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, socialist Sergei Mironov and billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov were in single digits. Ofcial vote results from the far eastern regions and Siberia where the count was already completed seemed to conrm the poll data. With about 60 percent of all
precincts counted, Putin was leading the eld with 65 percent of the vote, the Central Election Commission said. If thousands of claims of violations made by independent observers and Putins foes are conrmed, they would undermine the legitimacy of his victory and fuel further protests by Russians exasperated with corruption, rising social inequality and tight controls over political life. The opposition is gearing up for a massive rally in downtown Moscow on Monday. These elections are not free ... thats why well have protests tomorrow. We will not recognize the president as legitimate, said Mikhail Kasyanov, who was Putins rst prime minister before going into opposition. Golos, Russias leading independent elections watchdog, said it received numerous reports of
carousel voting, in which busloads of voters are driven around to cast ballots multiple times. Alexei Navalny, one of the oppositions most charismatic leaders, said observers trained by his organization also reported seeing extensive use of the practice. Putins campaign chief, Stanislav Govorukhin, rejected the claims of violations, calling them ridiculous. Evidence of widespread vote fraud in Decembers parliamentary election drew tens of thousands to protest against Putin, who was president in 2000-2008 before moving into the prime ministers office because of term limits. They were the largest outburst of public anger in post-Soviet Russia. Putin has dismissed the protesters demands, casting them as a coddled minority of urban elites working at Western behest to weaken Russia. His claims the U.S. was
behind the opposition protests appealed to his base of blue-collar workers, farmers and state employees, who are suspicious of Western intentions after years of state propaganda. Putin is a brave and persistent man who can resist the U.S. and EU pressure, said Anastasia Lushnikova, a 20-year-old student who voted for Putin in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don. Putin played the same polarizing tune Sunday, thanking his supporters at a tank factory in the Ural Mountains city of Nizhny Tagil for voicing support for him amid opposition protests in December, saying that a man of labor is head above any loafer and windbag. Authorities gave permission to Putins supporters to gather just outside the Kremlin walls, and tens of thousands flooded the big square immediately after the vote ended.
HISTORY
structure and the adobe was replaced by a sturdier building. This building was demolished by a falling tree and a third structure was built for the family to live in. Ansel developed a horse ranch on the property. He was only a few miles from another horse ranch run by William Corbett. Corbett had a race track built on his property and, not to be outdone, Ansel had a race track built, Shell Park Course, northeast of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad tracks (near Highway 101 and Broadway).
The crushed shell for the track was taken from the numerous Indian middens (mounds) found along Burlingame creek. The area of Burlingame late developed a tradition of air pioneering in the 1860s 35 years before the Wright brothers made their lighter than air flights. The ship, the Avitor took to the sky with aid of a steam engine for a maiden flight on the Easton estate, flew at the speed of 5 mph for a mile distance. The Avitor was later destroyed in a fire before it could repeat this feat. It wasnt until 1910 that Louis Paulham made the first extended air flight on the West Coast at Tanforan Race Track in San Bruno. The Eastons had two children before Ansel died in 1868 at the age of 49: Ansel Mills and Jenny. Jenny married Col. Frederick
Charles Crocker. Jenny inherited the property around Capuchino High School in Millbrae. Jenny and Charles had two children: Templeton Crocker and Jennie Crocker. Jennie married Malcolm Douglas Whitman. In 1904, Charles Templeton and sister Jenny, having lost their father recently, in 1897, donated money for a boys orphanage in San Mateo. On Sept. 2, 1905, the same day they came into their inheritance of $5 million, they dedicated the cornerstone of the building. However on April 18, a great earthquake struck and the newly laid brick building was almost leveled. Jenny and Charles promptly donated money to repair the damage done by the quake. Ansel Mills Easton was born in 1865 and died in 1941 at the age of 76. He married in
1888 a daughter of pioneer lumber man and San Francisco Cable Car developer, William J. Adams. Ansel Mills began developing the property he inherited in 1905. Energetic real estate men and the aggressive heir, Ansel, called the area Easton and they built a railroad station they named Easton at the foot of Broadway. Hundreds of acres of property in the hills were sold in the following years by Ansel to the people eeing the unpleasant confines and rigors of San Francisco streets. Here they found a bit of paradise in the solitude of the forests and hills.

Obama: Force an option on Iran

By Ben Feller
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said Sunday he would not hesitate to attack Iran to keep it from getting a nuclear bomb, hoping a forceful assurance will discourage Israel from launching a unilateral strike that could ignite the Middle East and drag the U.S. into war. Pleading for time for diplomacy to work, Obama warned that loose talk of war was only undermining world security. Addressing a powerful pro-Israel lobby, Obama delivered messages to multiple political audiences: Israel, Iran, Jewish voters, a restless Congress, a wary international community and three Republican presidential contenders who will speak to the same group Tuesday. At the core was his bullish assertion that the United States will never settle for containing a nuclear-armed Iran or fail to defend Israel. I will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests, Obama said. But he framed military force as a last resort, not the next option at a time when sanctions are squeezing Iran. The president seemed intent on quieting a drumbeat for war, saying even the talk of it has driven up the price of oil to the benet of Iran. Now is not the time for bluster, Obama said. Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in. Obamas speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee set a tone for a vital meeting Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose embattled Mideast nation fears it will soon lose a window to strike Iran before it becomes a target of nuclear weapons. More than once, Obama threatened force but made clear his preference was peace through pressure.

President Barack Obama (C) takes to the stage to deliver remarks at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual policy conference in Washington Sunday.
Netanyahu, standing his ground against what his country perceives as a threat to its existence, said he perhaps most appreciated hearing Obama say Israel must be able to defend itself, by itself, against any threat. Speaking to reporters in Canada ahead of his arrival in the U.S., Netanyahu made no reference to the sanctions and diplomacy Obama emphasized. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and escalating sanctions have not deterred its pursuit. It has rapidly ramped up production of the higher-grade enriched uranium needed for an atomic bomb. Obama offered the lines Israel wanted to hear, framing the Iranian threat as a problem for the entire world, and asserting Israels right to defend itself how it sees t. No assurance was more important than when Obama said he has does not have a policy of containment about Iran, but rather one to deny it a nuclear weapon. Election-year politics, too, were part of Obamas speech as he spoke of his record on Israel. He told his audience that his Republican rivals would probably distort his record. There should not be a shred of doubt by now, Obama said. When the chips are down, I have Israels back.
The United States fears an Israeli strike on Iran would do little to derail its long-term nuclear weapons pursuit and, in the near term, would turn Iran into a victim. Many analysts believe an Israeli attack would result in a region-wide conict, including Iranian attacks on American troops in the Persian Gulf. Obama is also worried about gas prices, a chief concern to American voters this election year. I would ask that we all remember the weightiness of these issues, the stakes involved for Israel, for America, and for the world, Obama said. Already, there is too much loose talk of war. He summed up his approach by borrowing a line from a predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt: Speak softly, but carry a big stick. Israeli media focused on Obamas strong threats to use force if necessary. Eytan Gilboa, an expert on U.S.-Israel relations at Bar Ilan University, said Obamas speech would make it more difcult for Israel to act alone. But he added: Is this sufcient to assure Netanyahu? No, I dont think so. The U.S. and Europe have approved tough sanctions on Irans central bank and its key oil sector that are to go into effect this summer. Israel has welcomed the sanctions, but it is skeptical they will be enough. Israeli ofcials worry that by the time the toughest sanctions go into effect this summer, it may be too late to strike. The inuence of the lobbying group, known as AIPAC, has turned its polished Washington conference into a must-attend for American politicians. Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum will all address the group Tuesday, via satellite, as voters in 10 states make their picks for the party nominee. An AIPAC spokesman, Patrick Dorton, said the group welcomed Obamas remarks and his strong resolve to work with Israel to solve the Iranian challenge.
