Four tax measures on ballot


Tourism industry and rental car officials say they are unfairly targeted
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

County supervisors yesterday unanimously agreed to place four tax measures on the June ballot, three of which were described by tourism and rental car ofcials as unfairly singling out industries already heavily taxed. The Board of Supervisors, with Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson absent, approved the

three previously introduced tax measures vehicle rentals, transient occupancy and parking as part of its consent agenda without any further discussion. Later in the same meeting, the board also agreed to put a $65 tax renewal proposal for re and police services in the Highlands neighborhood on the ballot.

School ofcials may be considering a shopping center to house a fourth elementary campus in Foster City but property owners arent willing to negotiate. In September, the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District announced it would begin evaluating 1050-1064 Shell Blvd. in Foster City the rst step in possibly purchasing the 6-acre site to house a fourth elementary school. Charter Square Property owners, however, have no interest in selling. Rumors have circulated the district could seek to seize the property using eminent domain another action businesses at Charter Square and the property owner oppose, said Sunny Tong, managing director of Westlake Development Partners, which oversees the parcel. We are at a loss to understand the school boards intentions. We have no interest in selling our site and said exactly that to the school districts representative early last summer, Tong wrote in a prepared statement. While we have been advised that the school district has the power to [seize] the property, we are urging the elected school board members to publicly and

President Lyndon B. Johnsons National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (also known as the Kerner Commission) warned that racism was causing America to move toward two societies, one black, one white separate and unequal. In 1504, Christopher Columbus, stranded in Jamaica during his fourth voyage to the West, used a correctly predicted lunar eclipse to frighten hostile natives into providing food for his crew. In 1792, composer Gioachino Antonio Rossini was born in Pesaro, Italy. In 1796, President George Washington proclaimed Jays Treaty, which settled some outstanding differences with Britain, in effect. In 1892, the United States and Britain agreed to submit to arbitration their dispute over seal-hunting rights in the Bering Sea. (A commission later ruled in favor of Britain.) In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed a sevenmember commission to facilitate completion of the Panama Canal. In 1908, the artist Balthus was born in Paris. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a second Neutrality Act as he appealed to American businesses not to increase exports to belligerents. In 1940, Gone with the Wind won eight Academy Awards, including best picture of 1939; Hattie McDaniel won for best supporting actress, the rst black performer so honored. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced he would seek a second term of ofce. In 1960, the rst Playboy Club, featuring waitresses clad in bunny outts, opened in Chicago. In 1984, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau announced he was stepping down after more than 15 combined years in power. In 1996, Daniel Green was convicted in Lumberton, N.C., of murdering James R. Jordan, the father of basketball star Michael Jordan, during a 1993 roadside holdup.

person through appointment. The controller is the countys top scal ofcer and must meet at least one of several criteria: be a certied public accountant; hold a baccalaureate degree in accounting or its equivalent and not less than three years experience within the last ve years in a senior management position in a public agency, private rm or nonprot organization; be a designated professional auditor with at least 16 college semester units in accounting, auditing or nance; or have at least three years continuous service as a county auditor, chief deputy county auditor or chief assistant county auditor. An election for this position in either June or November would cost approximately $40,000 although the county will spend about $650,000 in the fall because it is not reimbursed for federal and state election costs, said County Counsel John Beiers. Although Pine believes a public appointment process to be the fairest and best way to vet candidates, Horsley said he generally trusts voters and thinks those running need to address their vision to constituents. Let the best person win, Horsley said. They want to be elected ofcials, let them stand for elections. Pine also worried that if the position is not permanently lled until November, an interim will be required and that person would essentially be an incumbent if he or she chose to run for the seat. Horsley did agree with Pine that the controller position should always be appointed rather than elected. A charter review committee previously considered such a recommendation but ultimately refrained from asking the Board of Supervisors to move the idea before voters. Board President Adrienne Tissier said she is also leaning toward an appointment but, as did Supervisor Carole Groom, insisted it be a public interview process. A candidate can be appointed immediately once county staff veries his or her residency and qualications, Beiers said. Pine estimated a thorough public process will take roughly two months. He also claried that candidates need not be county residents to apply but would have to move by the time of an appointment. Huening submitted his irrevocable resignation Feb. 10 which allows the supervisors to begin the process of lling the vacancy before he actually departs. Huening, 70, has spent 30 years in public service including time as a county supervisor, a community college district trustee and, since 1998, controller. He is leaving to work full time on his second book.

A juvenile stole candy from a store on the 1200 block of Broadway in Burlingame before 5:38 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16.

County supervisors delayed deciding whether they or voters will pick a new controller but a board majority appears leaning toward a public appointment process over a fall election. The Board of Supervisors yesterday discussed preferences for replacing Tom Huening whose mid-term resignation takes effect March 30. However, with Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson absent, the other supervisors also agreed to table a decision until the March 13 meeting. The delay still allows the board to either call an election or make an appointment by the April 30 deadline mandated by the county charter but essentially removes the June 5 presidential primary as a possible election date. Supervisor Don Horsley said as long as the controller is an elected position, candidates should be required to prove themselves to the public in an election. However, Supervisor Dave Pine a very vocal supporter of supervisorial elections to ll mid-term vacancies said appointment is the best option in this situation. I think it makes sense ... given the nature of the job. Its a very technical job requiring a lot of professional experience, Pine said. We have a better chance of nding a high-caliber

The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a $2.2 million agreement with Caltrans to hire former county jail inmates to work on state roads. The two-year agreement aims to give a fresh start to inmates who often nd it difcult to get a regular job after being incarcerated, San Mateo County reentry coordinator Shirley Melnicoe said. Employment is key to reducing recidivism, Melnicoe said. In San Mateo County, about 67 percent of female and 40 percent of male inmates say they

were unemployed before going to jail, and inmates who had been employed most often lose their jobs, according to staff reports. Former inmates both male and female who are selected to participate in the transitional employment program will be hired to work for Caltrans cleaning and maintaining state roadways in the county for 90 days, Melnicoe said. The inmates will get the opportunity to earn a regular wage, gain valuable work experience and build up an employment history immediately after getting out of jail. The program has the potential to assist 144 former inmates reenter society over the life of

the agreement, Melnicoe said. Menlo Park-based Job Train an education, job training and career counseling nonprot will oversee the employment program on behalf of the county, and will also help participants nd permanent employment after their time working for Caltrans is over.

Video leads to burglary arrest


A Redwood City man is in jail for residential burglary after police traced surveillance video of him using the victims credit card after the crime. The residence on the 3700 block of Farmhill Boulevard was burglarized Feb. 20 and the victims wallet was stolen which contained a credit card. The card was used shortly after the crime and police identified the suspect through the video as Andrew Jonke, 23. On Feb. 23, officers located Jonke and searched his residence on the 3000 block of Brandy Rock as a condition of his parole. Detectives found property purchased from the credit card and property that was taken from a second residential burglary in Redwood City, according to police. He was booked for residential burglary, commercial burglary and a parole violation, according to police.

Along with several child advocates, state Sen. Leland Yee, DSan Francisco/San Mateo, announced legislation that would treat children as victims, rather than criminals, when they are exploited through prostitution, sex trafcking or commercial sex. Most of Californias prostitution laws treat children the same as adults, with the rst conviction punishable by up to 6 months in jail and/or a ne. The second convictions are subject to a mandatory minimum of 45 days in a county jail, and subsequent convictions a mandatory minimum of 90 days. Under Yees bill, children in such situations for the rst time will be treated the same as other child victims of sexual assault assessed to see if it is appropriate for them to be released to their parent or guardian, or otherwise referred to the county welfare department.

PG&E says new gas safety plan will cost $5B


Pacic Gas & Electric Co. says its customers should pay the lions share of a $5 billion plan to boost safety on its gas lines following the deadly San Bruno explosion. PG&E Senior Vice President Tom Bottorff said Tuesday the company has listened to critics concerns that ratepayers were being charged too much to make safety upgrades. The company originally said customers should pay for 90 percent of a $2.2 billion plan aimed at prioritizing leak surveys, pressure reductions and safety tests on its transmission lines.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Carlos City Council voted 4-1 in favor of banning polystyrene using the countys model ordinance and formal adoption will be at the March 12 meeting. The council also unanimously agreed to continue exploring shared re services with Redwood City and San Mateo County. The three cities may spend $10,000 to $15,000 to gather more information on the idea but Redwood City Fire Chief Jim Skinner called the study an excellent opportunity. The Board of Supervisors and Redwood City Council must next authorize the study. The City Council approved plans by AT&T to install six cellular tower antennae at 260 Shelford Ave. The city previously rejected the plan but the wireless company sued, leading to a settlement which includes installation of the antenna concealed within a 40-foot tall articial tree. The San Carlos Transportation and Circulation Commission will consider a request to install two-hour parking signs along St. Francis Way between El Camino Real and Walnut Street in the commercial zone. The commission meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 29 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos. The Redwood City Council increased the city clerks $101,148 salary by 7 percent and the city attorneys annual salary of $202,072 by 4 percent. Mayor Alicia Aguirre suggested the raises to bring the clerk closer in line with the median for city clerks in comparable salaries and places the attorney above the median.

Interim county manager staying put


By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Former longtime county manager John Maltbie, who stepped back into the role temporarily after David Boesch and the county parted ways in November, will remain through this year and part of the next. The Board of Supervisors was expected to recruit a new county manager this year but in closed session yesterday agreed to keep Maltbie, 64, in the interim position for another year before seeking a permanent replacement in 2013. Recruitment can take up to a year. Personally, Im very, very pleased. In the three or four months hes been here, hes been able to do a lot, said Supervisor Carole Groom. Board President Adrienne Tissier also noted Maltbies innovation and creativity which she said will help with economic development and a ve-year budget that nally nds a surplus at its end. Retirement law prevents Maltbie from working more than 960 hours in a scal year while collecting his $133,000 pension. If he hits that mark, Maltbie and the county will need to revisit that arrangement at that time, said County Counsel John Beiers. The board does not need to vote on a contract with Maltbie because Tuesdays decision is just an extension of the current arrangement, Beiers said. Maltbie earns $100 per hour, or up to $192,000 annually. He does not receive vacation, holiday or mandatory time off or sick leave. He also waived all other retirement and health benets. The board named Maltbie acting county manager in mid-November, three years after he retired and two weeks after then-county manager David Boesch announced his resignation.

county employees. Hes good. Were very comfortable with him and hes very comfortable with us, Groom said. Keeping Maltbie in place, she said, is in part because they want him to help take care of matters like the $1.75 billion budget. Tissier agreed there is some comfort but that Maltbie has returned with a fresh and eager take on the county and its nances. Maltbies tenure with the county began in March 1989 after a varied career in public administration. After coming to San Mateo County, Maltbie become known for implementing performance-based budgeting and overseeing capital projects like the jail, the $125 million Youth Services Center and the rebuild of the San Mateo Medical Center. He frequently cautioned the county that past practices of subsidizing the public hospital and indigent care could not continue and created a ve-year plan to end the growing structural decit. Maltbie hired Boesch from the city of Menlo Park in 2007 and groomed him as a successor after he left at the end of 2008. While Tissier said keeping Maltbie around is good for the county, she concedes the county will eventually have to let him go. Weve got some good momentum, but I do know he wants to retire at some point, she said.

The man accused of shooting his sister in the hand while she tried escaping the South San Francisco home where he held their family hostage will learn tomorrow if hell stand trial on two dozen felony charges including premeditated attempted murder. Alvin Baja Luis, 56, of San Francisco, is also charged with residential burglary and several counts each of felony assault with a rearm, false imprisonment and making criminal threats. Luis has pleaded not guilty to all charges but a judge is expected to rule Thursday if enough evidence exists to try him for the Nov. 20 incident in which prosecutors say he arrived at his sisters home with duct tape, ammunition and two guns. A preliminary hearing began Tuesday afternoon with three witnesses but the remainder was put over until March 1. Authorities say Luis was angry about his deceased mothers estate when he went to 521 Spruce Ave. where seven people, including his two sisters, children and family friends were

gathered for a football game. Luis allegedly pulled out a pellet gun and a handgun, threatening to kill everyone, and hit one sister in the back of the head with a weapon. Luis also allegedly kicked another sister in the stomach before ordering everyAlvin Luis body into a bedroom. At one point, one sister distracted Luis so the others could climb out the window. Nearly all made it outside, but one sister slowed by a cane did not when Luis noticed their departure. He allegedly shot her in the hand, breaking bones in her wrist and hand, according to prosecutors who added the victim was the sister he disliked most. Luis ed to a Carls Jr. in San Francisco where he was later apprehended. Ofcers also reported recovering the weapon and nding the tape and a bag of ammunition at the crime scene. Luis has a prior 2008 conviction for methamphetamine possession.

Double primary victory for Romney


WASHINGTON Mitt Romney swept to victory in the Arizona primary and led Rick Santorum in a close, hard-fought contest in Michigan Tuesday night, bidding for a two-state sweep and fresh momentum in the race for the Republican presidenRick Santorum tial nomination. Two other candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, made little effort in either state, pointing instead to next weeks 10-state collection of Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses. Romneys Arizona triumph came in a race that was scarcely contested, and he pocketed all of the 29 Republican National Convention delegates at stake. Michigan was as different as could be a hard-fought and expensive race in Romneys home state that he could ill afford to lose and Santorum made every effort to win. Returns from 34 percent of Michigans precincts showed Romney at 41 percent and Santorum at 38 percent. Paul was winning 12 percent of the vote to 6 percent for Gingrich. Arizona awarded all 29 of its delegates to the winner of the statewide vote. In Michigan, by contrast, 30 delegates

The remaining two delegates were likely to be divided between the top finishers in the statewide vote. Romney entered the night the delegate leader in the Associated Press count. He had 152, compared to 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul. It takes 1,144 to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Tampa next summer. In interviews as they left their polling places, Michigan voters expressed a notable lack of enthusiasm about their choices. Just 45 percent said they strongly favored the candidate they voted for, while 38 percent expressed reservations and 15 percent said they made the choice they did because they disliked the alternatives. The lengthening GOP nomination struggle has coincided with a rise in Democratic President Barack Obamas prospects for a new term. A survey released during the day showed consumer condence at the highest level in a year, and other polls show an increase in Americans saying they believe the country is on the right track.

Obama hails auto bailout, hits back at GOP critics

Wild parrots of San Francisco spread to the burbs
BRISBANE The famous wild parrots of San Franciscos Telegraph Hill have spread their wings to the suburbs. About a hundred of the green birds have been spotted on the slopes of San Bruno Mountain in Brisbane. The birds probably migrated there in search of food, said Mark Bittner, author of the best-selling book, The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. The book and a documentary of the same name several years ago helped make the birds a tourist draw in San Francisco. The playful birds native to South America with their cherry-colored heads are known to dart acrobatically and chirp at high decibels.

WASHINGTON In a politically sizzling attack, President Barack Obama on Tuesday accused his Republican presidential challengers of abandoning the American worker and took credit for the auto industrys resurgence while singling out GOP opposition to the taxpayer-backed rescue of General Motors and Chrysler that he helped engineer. Speaking to a raucous United Auto Workers audience, Obama said that assertions by Republican presidential candidates that union members proted

from the taxpayerpaid rescue are a load of you know what. Even though Obama did not mention his critics by party or by name, the speechs delivery and Barack Obama content had all the makings of a political stump speech. Even the timing had political overtones, purposefully delivered just as voters in Michigan a center of auto manufacturing went to the polls to cast their ballots in the states Republican nominating contest.

Israel wouldnt warn U.S.on Iran strike


WASHINGTON Israeli ofcials say they wont warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. The pronouncement, delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations with U.S. ofcials, sets a tense tone ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and on Capitol Hill. Israeli ofcials said that if they eventually decide a strike is necessary, they would keep the Americans in the dark to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israels potential attack, said one U.S. intelligence ofcial familiar with the discussions. The U.S. has been working with the Israelis for months to convince them that an attack would be only a temporary setback to Irans nuclear program. Israeli defense ofcials conrmed that there are no plans to alert the U.S. ahead of time about any operation against Iran, though they stressed no decisions have been made on whether to attack. The ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a condential security matter. Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered the message to a series of high-level U.S. visitors to the country, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the White House national security adviser, the director of national intelligence and top U.S. lawmakers, all trying to close the trust gap between Israel and the U.S. over how to deal with Irans nuclear ambitions.

U.S.slams Syria over U.N. rights meeting walkout


GENEVA The United States criticized Syrias envoy for storming out of an emergency U.N. meeting about the crisis in his country Tuesday, saying the walkout and a ery speech that preceded it demonstrated the delusional nature of President Bashar Assads regime. Syrias ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Fayssal alHamwi, had accused members of the U.N. Human Rights Council of promoting terrorism and prolonging the crisis by organizing the debate on the situation in his country, where the global body now says over 7,500 people have died since March.

Maine GOP Sen. Snowe wont seek re-election

PORTLAND, Maine In a surprise announcement, moderate GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe said Tuesday she would abandon her campaign for a fourth term a contest she was expected to win easily because she is frustrated by a polarized atmos-

phere in Washington. The move dealt an immediate blow to Republicans hoping to take control of the Senate in November and Olympia Snowe gave Democrats new hope of winning the longtime GOP-held seat.

Partial remains of 9/11 victims went to landfill

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Partial remains of several 9/11 victims were incinerated by a military contractor and sent to a landll, a government report said Tuesday in the latest of a series of revelations about the Pentagons main mortuary for

the war dead. The surprise disclosure was mentioned only briey, with little detail, in a report by an independent panel that studied underlying management aws at Dover Air Force Base mortuary in Delaware. A 2011 probe found gross mismanagement there, but until Tuesday there had been no mention of Dovers role in handling 9/11 victims remains.

OPINION
rather than veriable results. Shes not a fan of tenure and would like to be able to hire and re without regard to length of service in the profession. She bemoans the last hired, rst red status in most school districts throughout the country. The assumption is, apparently, that newer teachers are better (and cheaper) and that its preferred to retain them. My experience has been that veteran teachers, while more expensive to retain, are not automatically inferior to younger and newer teachers. In fact, on the whole, experience is an asset not a liability to the teaching profession. If attracting highly qualied individuals to start and stay in the teaching profession is difcult now, just add uncertainty to longer term security to this career choice and watch the further narrowing of the pool of interested applicants. She likes merit pay but fails to establish criteria on which that pay is based, other than perhaps test scores. Its pretty well established that test scores alone fail to gauge the effectiveness of teachers. In fact, there is an investigation under way in D.C. to determine erasure patterns on tests (wrong to right answers after erasing) which may well belie some of the testing gains experienced in her wake, and testament to the pressure the offending teachers felt. If teaching to the test becomes the standard for judging effectiveness, teachers and students alike are the worse for it. Just

Michelle Rhee Whee! Maybe?


By Gene Mullin

ichelle Rhee, the founder of the organization Students First, spoke two weeks ago Wednesday night as part of the Peninsula Speakers Series. Her speech was one of ve she has scheduled throughout California and which have been met with some mild and generally orderly protest by teacher groups. Ms. Rhee was the chancellor for three and one-half years of the Washington, D.C. public school system, a tenure that catapulted her into the ether of educational change and reform, and all the attendant controversy. She was selected by one-term mayor Adrian Fenty and left when he lost his reelection bid. She came to her job after a three-year teaching career in Baltimore, self described as being challenged as a teacher, and as part of the Teach For America program. From this modest experience and with no administrative credential, she attracted much attention from her prolonged battles with the unions, many parents and other community members. She successfully tackled one of the more difcult tasks in any district, closing schools, and eventually closed two dozen under enrolled and underperforming schools. This was clearly needed for better budgeting and much reduced enrollment. Beyond that, her credentials as an agent of change are somewhat slender, and her tactics subject to scrutiny. Some of her worthy ideas are submerged by her tendency to use an anecdotal evidence approach

Guest perspective
maybe drill and kill replacing creativity, engagement and analysis isnt so great a swap. She found it difcult to re (but not denigrate) administrators and staff because the district had no performance records for those employees in previous years. Her basis was, apparently, one mistake and youre out. In her speech, she seemed indifferent to due process rights for employees, and confessed to be unaware of federal oversight of the districts busing program, or that special needs students can attend non-public schools if their school or district cannot provide adequate services. Awareness of issues and procedures are part of administrative credentialing, a process to which she hadnt been a party. There is little doubt that we need to rethink some aspects of the way we teach our children. No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top are awed programs, but signify that the status quo is under review. That dialogue is one in which many of us have been engaged and will continue to be for the immediate future.

Contested elections
Editor, Why dont we have contested elections? It should be a concern when only one person runs for an open seat as in the case of Kevin Mullin running for the state Assembly seat his father held. What happened to the best and brightest battling it out to provide us the strongest representation and leadership possible? In writing what seems like a campaign piece for a candidate with whom she has a long-standing relationship, Sue Lempert is contributing to the demise of contested elections (Kevin wraps it up column in the Feb. 20 edition of the Daily Journal). Instead of trying to pump up Kevin Mullins candidacy, Lempert should be asking why we dont have more qualied people running? As a civics teacher, she should know better and expect more.

William Ayres
Editor, In response to the Daily Journals Feb. 27 front page story Committed doctor wants out by Michelle Durand, I would like to say: This is great news for those who want San Mateo County to proceed with the criminal case against William Ayres. If Ayres was really suffering from Alzheimers disease-related dementia, he would not know or care where he was. I hope Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti is right. If Ayres is to go anywhere, it should be back to San Mateo County for prosecution. Let us not forget that there were over 40 adult male victims ready to testify.

We need high-speed rail and we need to build it quickly. By 2008, 42 of the top 50 oil-producing countries had already produced over half of their oil. Over half. It took us roughly 100 years to get to the current rate of consumption and we believe that the second half will be used up a whole lot faster than the first half. We need to build rail at warp speed. Rail will help us transition to renewable energy sources. Rail will help us have cleaner air and water. Rail is safer. Rail will save lives. Rail will create jobs, grow the economy and grow revenues.

he thing about having a baby is that everyone seems to be very interested in helping out, but they dont seem able to help when it really really counts. Like just how does one get the baby to find her pacifier on her own in the middle of the night? No, really. How do you do that? Is it wrong to contemplate Gorilla Glue? You can go to the taqueria and have a great conversation about babies with total strangers, and even receive an offer to hold the baby while you finish your quesadilla. Super nice. There are knowing looks of empathy, advice up the wazoo, kind words of encouragement and super nice offers for all kinds of assistance from many. But no one to help figure out how to get the baby to learn where the pacifier is in the middle of the night. Thats up to you. Now, four months into this great adventure, Ive determined that is really all there is the three of us, and only one of us is rested. Its not like I didnt know that going in, but there were more words of encouragement than words of warning. Its great! Youll love it! Itll change your life! All true, but ... . And though we were bombarded left and right with the advice of Get some sleep now! before our bundle of joy arrived, we actually found ourselves saying it to the man who inquired about our baby in the grocery store parking lot to tell us his was due in a couple of months. Did we actually become those people? Well, yes, we did. But operating on limited brain function tends to create abbreviated synapses in which you atavistically find the closest word, rather than the best word. Im surprised I can speak and that I havent been relegated to grunts and points, although my wife may say that is the case at certain hours of the day or night. Especially when the task at hand is determining that the baby just needs a pacifier. Thats the advice we should have given him. So to the nice man who said our daughter was cute, if you are reading this, dont enjoy your sleep now, start making queries about pacifiers. Now we get the advice of Enjoy this time, which causes me great panic. And I know that every single one of you who have gone through this before are laughing at me because youve gone through this and its really not that big of a deal. But how can I get the baby to find the pacifier in the middle of the night? Do you know? *** The other thing about having a baby is all the stuff. I didnt think we would end up being the people with all the stuff all over the place, but I swear I would put a giant inflatable Barney in the baby room if I could rig it to hand her a pacifier in the middle of the night. Shes not hungry. She just needs the pacifier. So why cant she find it? We must need more stuff, even though the amount of stuff you can get is stunning. We are contemplating buying several dozen pacifiers for the crib. And we actually had a conversation about a pacifier that is attached to a small stuffed animal so she might find it easier. Theyre about $15 (that sound you here is the ongoing cash register) and you have a choice of either elephant or giraffe. Each have merits, I suppose. Elephants are supposed to be smarter and are funnier looking, or are they? Elephants are bigger, and I suppose, maybe easier to grasp. But giraffes have their own merits. They are neat looking, and kind of regal. But which one is better with a pacifier? And which one will cause her to grab it in the middle of the night? Maybe we should just affix one in a baby-friendly way to the monkey that makes the laughing noise that makes her smile. Or we could make some kind of pacifier mitten. And theres always Gorilla Glue.

He can be reached at jon@smdailyjournal.com, but only email him if you know how you can get a baby to find her pacifier on her own in the middle of the night. Otherwise, please wait three months.

Wall Street
group, said its consumer confidence jumped to 70.8 in February, up from 61.5 in January. The report came out at 10 a.m. and lifted the Dow above 13,000. It stayed there most of the day. Two months ago, we were talking about a double-dip recession. Now consumer confidence is growing, said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist for Schaffers Investment Research. He said the Dows milestone wakes up a lot of investors who have missed a lot of this rally. The average first pierced 13,000 last Tuesday but fell back by the close. It floated above the milestone again on Friday and Monday, but slipped below both days. A strong rally for stocks this year seemed stalled as worry built on Wall Street about climbing prices for oil and gasoline. Tuesdays gain puts the Dow 1,160 points below its all-time high, set Oct. 9, 2007. The Great Recession began two months later. The milestone could draw some fence-sitting investors back into the market and add to the gains, said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Ofce Depot Inc.,up 57 cents at $3.59 The ofce supply retailer posted a fourthquarter prot thanks to cost cutting measures and selling more items at full-price. Dominos Pizza Inc.,up $5.28 at $38.82 The pizza chain reported that its scal fourthquarter net income rose 28 percent as its sales improved in the U.S.and abroad. Sonic Automotive Inc.,up 90 cents at $17.61 The operator of auto dealerships said its fourthquarter net income fell 68 percent, but prots beat Wall Street expectations. Callaway Golf Co.,up 20 cents at $6.71 The maker of golf clubs and balls said it appointed Chip Brewer as chief executive. He left the same job at rival Adams Golf Inc. Nasdaq Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., down $2.01 at $22.97 The fruit and vegetable supplier said its fourthquarter loss widened slightly as demand for its produce fell and fuel costs rose. EnerNOC Inc.,down $1.22 at $8.27 The energy services rm posted fourth-quarter earnings that missed expectations and said its chief nancial ofcer is leaving. Priceline.com Inc.,up $41.22 at $632.76 The travel website said that its fourth-quarter net income and revenue soared on the strength of its international business. JA Solar Holdings Co.Ltd.,up 5 cents at $1.91 The solar power products maker raised its 2011 shipment forecast,saying that its fourth-quarter sales were higher than expected.

The Dow Jones industrial average rode a surge of confidence in the economy Tuesday to close above 13,000, a threshold it last crossed four months before the financial crisis of 2008 and the darkest days of the Great Recession. The milestone extended a strong rally in stocks since the start of the year, and it came after a fitful week in which the Dow repeatedly floated above 13,000 only to fall back by the end of the trading day. The Dow closed at 13,005.12, a close enough call that the gain of a single stock, Johnson & Johnson, made the difference. The Dow last closed above 13,000 in May 2008, four months before the fall of the Lehman Brothers investment bank and the worst of the crisis. I think its a momentous day for investor confidence, said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. What this number implies is that the financial crisis that we were all losing sleep over, it never happened, because now were back. Dow 13,000 comes at a time when Americans are feeling better about the economy than they have in a year. The Conference Board, a private research

Facing costly fuel,airlines hike fares


By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Airfares are up and headed higher this summer. Airlines blame soaring fuel prices which could cost them billions more than last year. That means fares, which normally rise as the summer travel season nears, could increase faster than usual. Airlines have already pushed through two price increases this year, and its only February, when leisure travel is slow. Its a sign of things to come. Youll see gradual increases and then a much bigger jump in April and May when people start shopping for the summer travel season, says Rick Seaney, CEO of travel website FareCompare.com. The latest data on average fares show that Southwest charged $140 each way

during the fourth quarter, JetBlue charged $156 and United Continental charged $270. Length of flight accounted for most of the difference on a per-mile basis, prices were similar. The average fare rose 9 percent between January 2011 and January 2012, according to Airlines for America, a trade group of the biggest carriers. Fuel is driving the increases. The spot price of jet fuel rose 18 percent over the same period, according to government figures. Airlines burn 48 million gallons per day, making fuel their biggest expense. Theres little that airlines can do about fuel prices. They hedge, which is like buying insurance against big price spikes, and theyve been adding moreefficient planes, but it takes years to replace a whole fleet. The simplest response is to raise fares thats what they did nearly a dozen times last year.

Airlines will respond to higher fuel prices this year by boosting fares, running fewer sales, and cutting some flights, predicts Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg. He noted that despite a weak economy last year, the seven carriers in Airlines for America used the same moves to boost revenue by $14.1 billion, more than offsetting a $12.2 billion increase in fuel spending. If they arent careful, airlines could price more passengers out of the market. Thats whats happening to Jessica Streeter, a 27-year-old teacher and doctoral candidate in Philadelphia who took four plane trips last year. She and a companion planned to fly to Florida next month, but when fares shot above $300, they decided that theyll visit friends in Pittsburgh instead. A planned summer trip to Belgium with an aunt is looking doubtful unless they can find a last-minute deal.

Americans feeling better about economic recovery


By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Americans are feeling better about the economy again, but will it last this time? A widely watched barometer of consumer condence surged in February to its highest level in a year as Americans took note of improving job prospects among friends and family and falling unemployment, which is now at a three-year low. The brighter assessment released Tuesday by a private research group reected a more upbeat attitude for the nation generally as the economy picks up. That is a boon for President Obama as he seeks re-election. Polls, including a recent

Associated Press-GfK survey, show the Democratic incumbent is beginning to benet politically from improved views of the economy. The economy is getting momentum. Clearly, shoppers are more optimistic about their job prospects, said Amna Asaf, economist at Capital Economics. But condence is still below the level of a healthy economy, and trouble could lie ahead. Rising gas prices could sully shoppers mood and derail the economic recovery. There are also fears about a nuclear showdown with Iran and the festering European debt crisis. Those worries could hurt demand for U.S. imports and make American companies pull back in hiring.

The condence index is closely watched because consumer spending constitutes 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The big question mark is the price of gasoline, which Asaf said has climbed 20 cents per gallon since the condence survey concluded two weeks ago. The price of gas is a big issue because it has an immediate effect on shoppers pocketbooks, particularly low- to middleincome households that are already squeezed by higher costs for basics such as food. The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline was $3.69, according to the Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday.

The invitation is for the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, where Apple holds larger launch events. Apple didnt provide any details on the new device. Various unconrmed reports speak of a sharper screen and faster cellular broadband options. Its not known when such a new device would be available for sale. Last year, sales of the iPad 2 began in the U.S. nine days after the announcement.

Angela Knowles eats up CCS defenses


By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Athlete of the Week


What really makes her dangerous for us is not just the fact of scoring goals, its what she provides for us, said Aragon head coach Will Colglazier. She can really make a defense uncomfortable with her speed and her smart runs. She knows how to use her speed, its not just about running fast up eld, she knows when to make those runs, getting behind the defense. I would not want to be the sweeper or stopper having to stop her.

Last Wednesday morning, Aragons Angela Knowles sat down to a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. After a relaxing couple of hours in class where she soaked up some valuable high school knowledge, and a nice drive to Willow Glen High School, naturally the senior striker was hungry again. So she ate up the Rams defense to the tune of three goals.

Truth be told, Knowles has been feasting on defenses all year long as the Dons scoring leader. But its a terric sign for Aragon girls soccer fans that No. 13 happens to be hungriest during the Central Coast Section playoffs. Knowles scored three times in a 5-1 opening round win against Aptos. She then backed up the performance with a goal and an assist against Aptos in quarternal action. For her efforts, Knowles is the San Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. Going into that opening round game,

Colglazier felt Willow Glens defense was vulnerable to through balls. After focusing on that in practice, he felt his team had the speed to capitalize on these opportunities. Enter Knowles and her blazing speed. What was neat during the year, Colglazier said, different from the last two years, is we havent had a dominant goal-scorer on the team. But this year, the wealth is spread out. Angela Knowles was our leading goal-scorer.

Local final set in Div.IV Menlo see

Notre Dame,

The Palma boys basketball team is a good team without 6-5 junior forward Noah Allen. With him, the Chieftains were the top seed in the Central Coast Section Division IV tournament. Half Moon Bay, however, held Allen in relative check, and, using strong team defense and clutch shooting, the fourth-seeded Cougars pulled the upset of the tournament, knocking off the Chieftains 49-42 at Menlo School Tuesday to move into Fridays CCS Division IV championship game. Its the Cougars rst title game appearance since beating Valley Christian in the 1996 nals. I dont think there were too many people who thought wed get here, said Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund, who will be coaching in his seventh CCS championship game. We were better tonight. Thats the beauty of this tournament: David can beat Goliath. Half Moon Bay (23-5) will take on No. 3 Sacred Heart Prep, which routed Harker in the other seminal, 68-44. The game is scheduled for 4:45 p.m. Friday at Santa Clara University. Allen was easily Palmas best player and is a legitimate Division I college player. It showed. He scored a game-high 24 points. But Half Moon Bays Spencer White shadowed Allen all over the court, forcing him to work for everything he got. By the end of the game, Whites defensive work showed as Allens last two attempts long 3-pointers drew nothing but air. He played spectacularly, Forslund said of Whites defense, which held Allen to just 3 of 15 shooting in the second half. The key was, dont let Allen blow us up, Forslund continued. If he goes for 30, were not going to win. [Spencer Whites performance] was outstanding, said his twin brother, Carter, who led Half Moon Bay with 15 points. One of his best games (of the season), by far. Half Moon Bay scored the rst ve points, with Carter White knocking down a 3-pointer and a baseline, reverse layup. But Palma (179) responded with an 11-0 run, fueled by Allen.

Half Moon Bays Carter White goes in for a reverse lay-up during the Cougars48-42 win over top-seeded Palma in CCS Division IV action. Carter nished with 15 points. No. 4 Half Moon Bay will face No. 3 Sacred Heart Prep in the D IV nal, Friday at Santa Clara University.

The gymnasium at Notre Dame-Belmont High School has seen a lot of great days in its sports history. Tuesday was not one of them. Two county teams saw their seasons end on the Notre Dame hardwood in Central Coast Section Division IV playoff action No. 6 Menlo fell to No. 2 Soquel 37-33 and the home Tigers lost to the No. 1 seed Mercy-San Francisco 49-30. The Knights and the Skippers will play for the Division IV title Friday afternoon at Santa Clara University. Menlo was victimized by a couple of key possessions at the tail end of a game that was close throughout. In these playoffs, you can look back at individuals plays and say God, if we had made that basket, if we had a couple of those opportunities, those give-me baskets that we didnt get. said Menlo head coach John Paye. (Soquel) hit the key baskets late in the game. It could have gone either way. But I think the key was their offensive rebounding on key plays during the entire game and also in that fourth quarter. We stopped them from not scoring. But we didnt nish. The game was back and forth throughout. Menlo led 8-6 after the rst quarter, with Drew Edelman establishing herself in the post early on. But Soquel surged ahead in the second quarter as Menlo struggled, going 4 of 11 from the eld. The Knights were outrebounded 9-2 in the period. Soquel took the lead with 2:28 on a pair of Marissa Azua free throws. They took a four-point advantage into recess on a buzzerbeating jumper by Alli Walters. We denitely knew they were looking for skip passes, said Menlo point guard Lauren Lete about her teams halftime adjustments. We were trying to intercept those. But other than that, I thought our defense was the way we usually play.

Sabbath could end Jewish schools playoff run


By Chris Duncan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON A Texas agency has turned down a request by an Orthodox Jewish school in Houston to reschedule a championship game potentially involving its boys basketball team because the game time falls during the Sabbath. The Beren Academy advanced to the semi-

nals in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools 2A tournament with a 235 record and was scheduled to play Dallas Covenant at 9 p.m. on Friday. Beren players observe the Sabbath between Friday night and Saturday night and wont play basketball during those hours. The academy appealed to TAPPS to have the game time moved, but the agencys ninemember board unanimously voted it down.

Dallas Covenant will instead play Kerrville Our Lady of the Hills, the team that Beren defeated in the regional nal. The Beren team, meanwhile, will continue practicing this week, hoping that TAPPS moves the game time to earlier Friday. They say the inconvenience of rescheduling the games outweighs any other factors, Beren coach Chris Cole said Tuesday. I dont know where that decision goes. Thats a deci-

sion for people who are a little higher than I am. The main thing for us is to do the best we can, keep working hard and just be hopeful. We feel like its still Tuesday, and things can still happen. TAPPS director Ed Burleson said Tuesday that he doesnt expect the agency to reverse course. He said he has received hundreds of

Bumgarner remains youngest pitcher in camp


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bumgarner enjoyed the ow of champagne over his head after San Franciscos successful run to the World Series title two years ago, a mere three months after he reached legal drinking age. Hes about to start his second full season in the majors this April and remains the Madison youngest pitchBumgarner er on the Giants 40-man roster. Despite this, Bumgarner is a model for some of the younger pitchers looking to reach the big leagues. Bumgarner chose to sign with the

Giants instead of attending North Carolina and it has worked out well for the 22-year-old. Hes still just ve years out of high school, owns a World Series ring, and is considered one of the more accomplished pitchers on a staff that includes former Cy Young Award winners Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito. He is one of our best conditioned guys, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He can definitely effect things, even as a 22-year-old. Hes a leader by example. Guys watch him go about his business and how he handles himself. He can inuence these kids. Bumgarner credits his father, Kevin, for his even-keeled manner, which led former major league pitcher and current radio broadcaster Mike Krukow to call him a 40-

year-old in a 21-year-old body. It was just the way I was raised, Bumgarner said. I try to stay humble. I dont know if its the right way but when I come into spring training, I feel like I want to earn a spot. Bumgarner began developing his own throwing program in the summer before his junior year in high school. It was about the same time he learned that major league scouts were becoming interested. It helped me make it easier to work hard, said Bumgarner, who was 13-13 with a 3.21 ERA last year. I knew there was something to work toward. I signed with North Carolina but it was hard to turn down (the Giants offer). If I had gone to North Carolina, I wouldnt have had won a World Series. The Giants may not have reached

the postseason without Bumgarner, who was 7-6 in 18 starts, including wins in his last two decisions as San Francisco edged the San Diego Padres for the NL West Division title on the nal day of the 2010 season. The Giants won 11 of his 18 starts. Bumgarner lost three games in which the Giants were shut out. Bumgarner spends most of his offseason conditioning, and when he starts to throw off a mound, will work on everything in general and not one particular aspect, unless theres a noticeable aw. Hes also learned how to use weights from the Giants strength coaches. He weighs about 25 pounds more now than when he rst broke into professional ball at Single-A Augusta, where he also threw his rst breaking ball.

My dad would not let me throw anything but fastballs and changeups through high school, he said. He was big on that. Bumgarner said he felt he progressed at a steady pace, moving up a level every year until sticking with the Giants in 2010. I didnt feel super fast or super slow, Bumgarner said. They always gave me time to get comfortable wherever they sent me. Notes: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (back problems) threw at a distance of 75 feet off at ground and could pitch off a mound in a week. ... INF Freddy Sanchez elded 25 ground balls hit right at him and also played catch. ... INF Brett Pill took ground balls at 3B, though he will remain a left fielder-first baseman for the most part.

McCarthy gets Opening Day start for As


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX The Oakland Athletics have their opening day starter, and its right-hander Brandon McCarthy. Manager Bob Melvin made the announcement Tuesday, saying McCarthy was an easy choice based on last years results and trades that left the team without AllStars Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill. Brandon The As open McCarthy their season in Japan on March 28. Bartolo Colon gets the call to start the second game the following day. He was a natural pick after last

year and with the pitchers we ended up trading away, Melvin said of McCarthy. Hes been focused this spring knowing he has to get ready a little earlier. He looks like hes in midseason form. McCarthy had a career high in wins, starts, complete games, innings pitched and strikeouts last season. He was 9-9 with ve complete games in 25 starts, and had 123 strikeouts in 170 2-3 innings. McCarthy also recorded a 4.92 to 1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, the highest by an As pitcher since 1901. He walked 25 batters. Hes so precise, so focused, that sometimes he doesnt think about throwing a ball for effect, Melvin said. He doesnt change the eye level. The fewer guys you put on base, the fewer opportunities they have to score. McCarthy, who signed with the Menlo held defensively on a couple of possessions after that, but were penalized gravely when they made a mistake on a 24-second violation by Soquel. After Azua chucked up a prayer which missed iron, Menlo appeared to want to take the ball out assuming the violation. Instead, they walked out of bounds and handed the ball back to Soquel. The mistake was crucial. Soquel hit a couple of free throws to seal the deal. They zoned us off, Lete said of Soquels defense. Were denitely used to zones, but we just werent hitting our shots. We couldnt hit any 3s. And when we drove, we werent getting the calls. Edelman nished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Lete added seven. No Soquel player scored in dou-

As as a free agent after spending 2010 in the minors, did not hit a batter last season. I know what it takes to get ready for a season, McCarthy said. If you are mentally ready, however you work is the right path. I feel comfortable and am what where I want to be. McCarthys wife, Amanada, also expressed her feelings in a tweet: Last year ghting for a spot this year opening day guy. So unbelievably proud of my husband! Ready to get my cheerleader on! Colon, signed as a free agent in January, is a 14-year veteran with 161 career wins. Hes a calm guy, a calm thinker and just goes about his business, Melvin said. His mechanics, to me, really stand out. He may not be one of the most talkative guys but when he gets on the mound he knows ble gures. Ragine Grayes led the way with nine. Steward had eight.

what works for him. He can read hitters well.

Braun sample collector says he followed protocol


NEW YORK The person who collected Ryan Brauns urine sample that tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone said he followed the collection programs protocol. Dino Laurenzi Jr. issued a statement Tuesday conrming he handled the sample submitted following a playoff game on Oct. 1. He says he has been a collector for Comprehensive Drug Testing since 2005 and has taken more than 600 samples for Major League Baseballs drug-testing program. At no point did I tamper in any way with the samples, Laurenzi said. points with 3:39 left in the third quarter. It was the closest they would get the rest of the way. And that was due in large part to the play of Masoli, the Skipper point guard who controlled the game in the first half, and fed Haights hot hand in the second. Shes a very gifted player, Davenport said. She got going pretty early on. I thought, we dont want to give up any layups to her and shes crafty around the basket and got through people. But then, she hit her rst 3 and now you have to start respecting that. She was able to get some easy looks. Mercy led 13-8 after one quarter on 6 of 14 shooting from the oor. The Tigers, on the other hand, struggled throughout the half and game. They shot 6 of 24 in the half. And

Laurenzis name emerged last week after the NL MVPs 50-game suspension was overturned, making Braun the first big leaguer to successfully challenge a drug-related penalty in a grievance. Braun was not available for comment Tuesday at the Brewers spring training camp in Phoenix. Asked for reaction to Laurenzis statement, Milwaukee outfielder Corey Hart declined comment. Laurenzi said he stored Brauns sample in his basement in accordance with CDTs protocol because there was no FedEx office located within 50 miles of Miller Park that would ship packages that day or Sunday. Braun, however, has said at least five FedEx locations within 5 miles were open until 9 p.m. and there also was a 24-hour location. despite outrebounding (17-12) Mercy, they were the victims of six steals and were down 21-12 at the half. The Tigers came out to the tune of a 6-0 run to start the second half and cut the lead to three. But on both occasions where Notre Dame threaten to make a serious run, Masoli was there to answer with jumpers. After her 3-pointer increased Mercys lead to 28-21, the Skippers outscored Notre Dame 229 the rest of the way most of Mercys points coming via Haight, who scored all 12 of her points in the second half. Kate Larson finished with 12 points for the Tigers. Amanda Dames added eight. Cynthia White rounded out Notre Dames scoring with eight points of her own.

MENLO
Continued from page 11
Menlo tied the game twice, and actually took it at 25-24 in the third quarter before Soquel made it a twopoint game again with 26 seconds left in the period. And come the fourth quarter, what did Menlo in, was the possession battle. There were only 14 points scored in the frame, but Soquels 12-7 advantage on the board afforded them more opportunities. Letes shot on the baseline with 2:35 gave Menlo the lead temporarily before Tyler Stewart hit a monster 3-pointer shortly after to take it right back.

No. 1 Mercy-SF 49, No. 4 Notre Dame-Belmont 30


The Tigers said good bye to their ve seniors in disappointing fashion Tuesday. Unable to contain Mariah Masoli in the rst half and Christina Haight in the second, Notre Dame fell to No. 1 Mercy-San Francisco 49-30. We cant hit enough shots to come back from a 10-point decit, said Notre Dame head coach Josh Davenport. We got some good looks early on and then they adjusted their zone and we had a hard time adjusting back to the open looks. In a game that Mercy led throughout, the Tigers pulled to within four

Warriors fall to Pacers Sharks edge Flyers 1-0


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana Pacers dont intend to let Miami and Chicago pull away for a two-team race in the Eastern Conference. Danny Granger scored 25 points to help Indiana beat the Golden State Warriors 102-78 Tuesday night for their fth straight win. The Pacers wanted to set the tone for the rest of their season, and this was the start they were looking for. We came out with a killer mentality and continued to play that way all night, said Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough, who had 15 points and nine rebounds. We came to play. All-Star Roy Hibbert added 12 points and nine rebounds, Paul George had 11 points and nine rebounds, Darren Collison also scored 11 points and David West had 10 points and seven boards for Indiana, which remained in third place in the East. The Pacers topped 100 points for the fourth straight game after doing so just six times before the current stretch. We got a lot of deections and a lot of steals, a lot of fast break points, and typically, when we get a lot of fast break points, we usually win, Granger said. Monta Ellis and Brandon Rush each scored 14 points for the Warriors, who nished with season lows in points and eld-goal percentage (.341). Embarrassing, Golden State coach Mark Jackson said. We got outworked. We did not take care of the basketball. We allowed them to get going in transition. Disappointing part is that we allowed our inability to make shot to affect the way we defended. Golden State guard Stephen Curry sat out with Mark Jackson a strained tendon in his right foot. The Warriors missed the 45-percent 3-point shooter they made just 1 of 17 3s in the rst three quarters. Thats not us, Rush said. I think were one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league, and tonight was not one of our nights. David Lee, who had averaged 19.3 points

per game, nished with 12 points and ve turnovers. Indiana shut down the leagues No. 5 scoring offense, which had averaged 99.2 points per game. Like coach said after the game, if anyone thought they played well tonight, theyre kidding themselves, Lee said. The Pacers led 52-38 at halftime as Golden State posted its second-lowest point total in a rst half this season. We wanted to come in and get the post-AllStar season started in the best fashion that we could, and we knew that Golden State was a very potent team and could score a lot of points, so we just had to jump on them early, Granger said. A 3-pointer by George early in the second half pushed Indianas lead to 57-40, and a reverse layup by Granger upped the margin to 19. A free throw by George gave Indiana a 20point lead for the rst time, and a putback dunk by Hibbert on a miss by Granger forced the Warriors to call timeout. Golden State missed four of its rst ve shots after halftime to fall behind 62-40. A 3point play by Granger pushed Indianas lead to 77-47. They came out with a lot of intensity, Ellis said. Made a lot of shots, got out there and ran, and they won the ball game. You can call it what you want to, but at the end of the day, we didnt come out and do what we needed to do to come out and win. Granger scored 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting in the third quarter. The Pacers shot 12 for 19 as a team in the period while holding the Warriors to 7-for-21 shooting. He was on re, so we kept going to him, Hibbert said. Just like any other night. If Im getting going, or D-West (David West) is going, theyre going to keep feeding us. The end result: a front-row seat for all ve starters for the entire fourth quarter. Anytime that happens, thats great, Hibbert said. Thats not going to happen all the time. NOTES: Warriors coach Jackson, a former Pacers player, was cheered loudly during pregame introductions. ... Indiana took a 10-0 lead early as Golden State missed its rst nine shots. ... Ellis made a bank shot as time expired at the end of the rst quarter to cut Indianas lead to 24-21.

SAN JOSE Ryane Clowe scored the lone goal early in the rst period and Antti Niemi made it stand up with 26 saves for his fth shutout as the San Jose Sharks returned home from a grueling road trip and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 1-0 on Tuesday Ryan Clowe night. The Sharks had gone 2-6-1 on the 17-day trip that knocked them out of rst place in the Pacic Division and into a precarious position for a playoff berth. With little room for error in the nal quarter of the season, the Sharks managed to hold on thanks to a strong bounceback performance by Niemi to beat the Flyers for the ninth straight time. Niemi lost four of ve games on the trip and didnt even make it out of the rst period in two of those games. But he was up to the task in his rst meeting against the Flyers since beating them to win the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 2010. The Sharks allowed 35 goals during the road trip but gave up none to the NHLs highestscoring team, surviving a wild scramble in front of the net in the nal minute when Torrey Mitchell blocked a shot by Claude Giroux.

Ilya Bryzgalov made 22 saves for the Flyers, robbing Joe Thornton and TJ Galiardi early in the third period to keep the decit at one. But Philadelphia never got the equalizer and remained 11 points behind the rst-place New York Rangers in the Atlantic Division. Philadelphia was shut out for the second time in three games, also losing 2-0 last Thursday in Edmonton. The Flyers briefly lost forward Danny Briere late in the third period when his head crashed into the boards following a hit from behind by Marc-Edouard Vlasic. There was no penalty called on the play. The game marked the San Jose debuts for forwards Daniel Winnik and Galiardi, acquired before Mondays NHL trade deadline for forward Jamie McGinn and two prospects. But the Sharks were far from complete as All-Star forward Logan Couture sat out with a lower body injury after taking three hard hits in Minnesota on Sunday. Defenseman Douglas Murray remained sidelined by a throat injury, and coach Todd McLellan missed the game with concussion symptoms after being hit in the head by a stick in Minnesota. Assistants Matt Shaw and Jay Woodcroft ran the team in his place. The Sharks got off to a fast start in their rst home game since Feb. 10, with Clowe beating Bryzgalov with a wrist shot just 1:22 in. Niemi, who struggled most of February, did the rest.

Marshall. When we need someone to step up, hes always been willing to take the big shot. Marshall nished with 11 points. The lead went back and forth in the fourth quarter, but with the score tied at 41 with 1:56 left, Half Moon Bay ended the game on a 8-1 run to complete the upset. A Carter White layup put the Cougars ahead to stay, 43-41, with 1:29 left, and then they iced the game from the free-throw line, converting 6 of 10. It was denitely a team effort, Carter White said. We all knew what we had to do to win and everybody lled their role. To beat the number one seed is phenomenal. Said Forslund: They (Palma) played Mitty, St. Francis, (East Bay power) Deer Valley, they played so many big-time teams. Those kids are used to winning. I knew it would be a tough one. Our kids just play so hard. Its a tribute to them. Im so proud of them.

The question became: how would the Cougars respond? Quite nicely, thank you. Center Andy Simanek hit a layup late in the rst period which keyed a 9-0 run that bridged the rst and second quarter.

Allen answered for Palma, scoring the Chieftains next seven points to take an 18-14 lead with 3:37 left in the half, but Half Moon Bay came right back to nish the half on a 6-0 run to take a 20-18 advantage at halftime. At halftime, I told them (the Cougars) this pace is perfect for us, Forslund said. It was a lot of grinding. The game was nip-and-tuck the entire second half.

Being one of the fastest on the team, Knowles said. I was able to utilize my speed to my advantage.

49ers sign LB Brooks to $44.5M, 6-year extension


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Ahmad Brooks always wanted to stay in the Bay Area, a place that has become a new home after all those painful memories of getting cut by Cincinnati four years ago, and the San Francisco 49ers sure made it hard for him to Ahmad Brooks leave. Now the two are tied together long term.

Brooks signed a six-year, $44.5 million contract extension with San Francisco on Tuesday that will take him through the 2017 season and keep one of the NFLs best linebacker units intact. The deal is worth $17.5 million guaranteed, said his agent, Greg Williams. Something was telling me just to sign here. I feel like this is where I should be, said Brooks, who couldve opted for free agency. These are the people who gave me a chance to get this contract. Brooks emerged as a regular starter for the rst time in his sixyear NFL career last season. Along with All-Pro inside line-

backers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman and sensational rookie Aldon Smith at the other outside spot, Brooks helped the 49ers win the NFC West behind one of the leagues best defenses. San Francisco allowed only 14.3 points per game, second only to Pittsburgh at 14.2. The 49ers lost at home in overtime of the NFC championship game to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants. I think he felt a part of the team. He felt like it was home, Williams said. I think it was kind of a feeling all year long that he wanted to stay there. We kept options open on

whether he would go to free agency or not. He believes that this is the opportunity to be on a good team for a long time and he wants to be a part of it. Brooks big payday almost never happened. Brooks, who will be 28 on March 14, admits he mightve enjoyed the NFLs riches a bit too much earlier in his career. He was even told by coaches he wasnt smart enough to learn defenses, he said, and often given excuses as to why he couldnt crack the roster. The Bengals, who selected Brooks in the third round of the 2006 supplemental draft out of

Virginia, cut him just before the 2008 season. I dont like the simple fact that a team told me, Well, hey, we dont want you, Brooks said. I never had that happen to me ever in my life. It kind of felt like a girl broke up with me and broke my heart. The 49ers selected Brooks off waivers and the outside linebacker vowed to change his ways. In 2009, Brooks had a franchise single-season record with five forced fumbles. He had 50 tackles, seven sacks and a forced fumble while becoming a key member of defensive coordinator Vic Fangios top-ranked run defense last season.

Mayweather: Pacquiao not one of the sharpest


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A trumpet blared a fanfare to introduce Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto as fans at the Apollo Theater cheered the start of Tuesdays news conference to promote their May 5 ght in Las Vegas. Still, there appeared to be far more interest in the ght thats not happening a matchup between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather made clear that whether they meet in the ring is about the money breaking down the shares in what could be boxings richest ght ever. Just by speaking to Pacquiao on the phone, I mean, hes not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer, Mayweather said. He faces Floyd Mayweather, hes not getting 50-50. Not at all. No one is getting 50-50. While Mayweather urged Pacquiao should take the test, a reference to his demand for random drug testing, payout appears to be the real

sore point between Mayweather on one side, and Pacquiao and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum on the other. Arum has said testing is not an issue. Bob Arum likes to match Top Rank ghters with Top Rank ghts. He keeps all the money in house, Mayweather said. This dispute has spilled into federal court. Pacquiao sued Mayweather for defamation in December 2009, alleging Mayweather falsely accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs. Pacquiao spent 12 hours in Las Vegas last week giving depositions in the case. If I offered him $30 million, he should be happy, Mayweather said. If I offered him $30 million and I didnt give money on the back end, why should I? Hes with Arum right now, and theyre having problems. Its obvious he must not be getting money on the back end. Mayweather says hes not ducking Pacquiao, who stopped Cotto in the 12th round of their November 2009 ght. bility of such scheduling conicts but was still hoping TAPPS would make an exception. It was our feeling that we could complete the playoffs, Cole said. There was no reason we saw (not to compete), other than changing the game times. We felt like we could make those changes, and the request was reasonable. Cole argued that there was a precedent to Berens request. Last year, the soccer team at Arlington Burton Adventist Academy reached the TAPPS seminals and faced a similar conict with the Sabbath. Burleson said the logistics were much easier for the soccer tournament, which has one classication and is played on a single eld. The basketball tournament involves ve classications for both boys and girls teams for a total of 40 teams playing 30 games in two days. Its a big affair and requires a lot of planning and scheduling and coordination to play that many games in that narrow amount of time, Burleson said. We have to rent facilities and were limited in the amount of time we have to rent those facilities.

emails and phone calls, some from as far away as Canada, accusing him of bigotry and anti-Semitism since word spread of the agencys decision. Burleson said the decision had nothing to do with religion, but rather has to do with the organizations longstanding policy not to change the playoffs date a rule that has been in place since TAPPS inception in 1978. Beren joined TAPPS last year, and Burleson said the school was told then to not expect TAPPS to adjust its postseason schedule. We think its clear-cut, Burleson said. They were advised, up front, that TAPPS would not change that, and they chose to join TAPPS anyway. There was never any indication from TAPPS that their appeal would be approved.

Still hungry? Have a second breakfast

Options for breakfast bites


As time-crunched consumers increasingly eat on the go, food companies are feeding the appetite for a midmorning snack or even a mini-meal.Below are some new products from the past year that would satisfy a craving for a light bite before lunch: General Mills Yoplait Greek yogurt multi-packs (coconut avor,4-ounce serving):110 calories,0 grams of fat,8 grams of protein,0 grams of ber *** Krafts MilkBite bars (strawberry avor): 140 calories, 5 grams of fat,5 grams of protein,3 grams of ber *** Quaker Oats Real Medleyoatmeal cups (country apple walnut avor): 250 calories, 7 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein,4 grams of ber (Will be in stores in late March.) *** Quaker Oats banana nut soft bars: 140 calories,3.5 grams of fat,6 grams of protein,5 grams of ber *** Sara Lees Jimmy Ds Breakfast minis (two sandwiches): 230 calories,10 grams of fat,11 grams of protein,1 gram of ber

NEW YORK Sometimes one breakfast isnt enough. So why not sneak in a second or a third? On-the-go Americans increasingly are consuming their morning calories over several hours instead of sitting down to devour a plate of pancakes, bacon and eggs in one sitting. The case of the morning munchies is being fueled by the belief that its healthier to eat several smaller meals instead of three squares a day. What qualies as a snack or a meal is a matter of perspective, of course. But food companies are rolling out smaller bites that feed the growing appetite for morning treats. General Mills, Quaker Oats and others are adding to their lineup of breakfast bars and yogurts. Sara Lees Jimmy Dean this summer introduced minibreakfast sandwiches. And fast-food chains like McDonalds in recent years have expanded their breakfast menus to include morning snacks like smoothies and a fruit-and-walnut pack. Its breakfast in stages, says Liz Sloan, president of Sloan Trends, a food industry consulting group. Theyll eat something at home, then stop at Starbucks or a convenience store for coffee and maybe a little snack. The deconstruction of breakfast is happening as more Americans eat their meals outside of the home. After all, its easier and less time-consuming to pop a few snacks in your purse or backpack for later rather than to sit down for a prepared meal. The number of times Americans snack is expected to rise faster in the morning than during the afternoon or evening between 2008 and 2018, according to the market researcher The NPD Group. Turning the snacking habit into an allday affair would be a major growth driver for the already massive snack food industry. Sales of all snack foods reached $16.64 billion in the past year, up 3.3 percent from a year ago, according to Nielsen. Of course, food companies have tried before to get people to eat outside of typical meal times. For instance, Taco Bell launched the Fourthmeal ad campaign in 2006 to tap into customers late-night cravings with menu items such as the 980-calorie Volcano Nachos.

Food companies are rolling out smaller bites that feed the growing appetite for morning treats.
Marketing morning snacks is trickier, though. Thats because people generally feel they should eat healthy in the mornings to start the day off right, and snacking is generally associated with junk food. So to make the idea of tearing into a snack before noon easier to swallow, food companies are touting nutritional benets of their packaged goodies. That means products that are less than 300 calories and have more fiber, whole grains or antioxidants. The idea is that such snacks will help people stay energized or feel full longer. That healthy halo is important for Monalissa Paredes, who eats several smaller meals throughout the day to control her weight. She starts out with a handful of almonds on the way to work. Once at the ofce, she nukes a bowl of instant oatmeal. Then she has a cup of yogurt a few hours later.

Thanks to smoking, bacon usually has a slightly brownish color; pancetta tends to be bright or deep red. The avor of pancetta tends to be clean and assertively bacony go gure! and just a bit sweet, especially compared to commercially produced bacon. The curing process for the latter often is as little as a few minutes. Pancetta is cured for days or weeks. Pancetta can be eaten thinly sliced and raw, similar to prosciutto, but more often it is cooked, which gives it an intensely savory avor. Think of it as maxed out bacon. Pancetta is a must-have for authentic carbonara. And browning small chunks of it is a classic start to many Italian recipes.

Pancetta: What it is and how to use it


By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Are you about over bacon yet? Neither am I. In fact, our national obsession with cured pig has only made me all the more eager to explore lesser known but equally delicious pork parts. And there are plenty to choose from. One of the most widely available yet often overlooked is pancetta, a close relative of American bacon. So lets start there. Bacon usually is made from the belly or side of the pig. It is cured (either dry or wet) with salt, spices, and sometimes sugar, then smoked. Pancetta is the Italian version. Typically made from the belly, the curing process is the same, but the meat usually is not smoked. During curing, it often is seasoned with black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and herbs. While most American bacon is sliced into thin strips, slabs of pancetta usually are rolled into a log.

While most American bacon is sliced into thin strips,slabs of pancetta usually are rolled into a log.
And thats how its sold at the deli. The log can be sliced to any thickness. Most grocers also sell it in packages pre-sliced and, more commonly, cut into thick cubes. of parking spots and 120 jobs, according to Tong. Consistent growing enrollment has been an issue for years. Community meetings were held in 2008 to gauge input on possible solutions. The overwhelming favorite from parents was a new school site. Finding a home for that school has been a challenge. Originally, four sites were considered Boothbay Park, Port Royal Park, 3.9 acres at terminus of Halibut and Beach Park Boulevard and portions of the 15-acre site adjacent to City Hall. Residents came out in large numbers with concerns about losing park space for a school. Most of the parks were not suitable for a school anyway. The city was also not keen on using prime real estate for a cause that would expanding waistlines. David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition and psychology at Cornell University, says the problem is that people often wind up consuming more calories when they switch to eating smaller meals throughout the day. If you reduce everything, thats ne. But thats not what we do, Levitsky says. When you add in snacks, youre usually just adding calories. Food companies nevertheless are betting on Americans willingness to take their snacking habit into the morning hours. Kraft this month is launching an advertising campaign for its MilkBite granola bars, which the company

It again considered four locations, three in Foster City 1164 Trinton Drive; 551 Foster City Blvd.; and 1050-1064 Shell Blvd. and one in San Mateo, 400 Mariners Island Blvd. Numerous closed session meetings were held before the top choice was announced in September. Purchasing land will be covered using funds from Measure L a 2008 $175 million bond measure. Measure Ls bond language allows for helping with overcrowding issues. Paying to build the school will most likely come from a new, separate bond measure. At rst it appeared the district would have a $25 million bond measure on the November ballot for that purpose. As proposed, the bond would have been paid for by Foster City residents only. In August, the board pulled the says provide the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk. General Mills introduced its 140-calorie Fiber One bars in just two avors in 2007. Since then, the company has introduced three new avors as well as 90-calorie versions of the bars. Last year, the company added a Fiber One brownie. Additionally, General Mills rolled out Yoplait Greek yogurts multipacks a year ago in honey vanilla and strawberry; coconut and cherry pomegranate were added this fall.

n busy weeknights, we take our dinner shortcuts wherever we can nd them. But this doesnt require sacricing healthy home cooking. Make smart choices as in this recipe for red curry potatoes and chickpeas and you can have a great from-scratch dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. The potatoes are a great example. I speed up the cooking by microwaving them for 5 minutes before adding them to the pan. This saves a little time at the stove, requires no extra effort and doesnt compromise the avor or texture of the nished dish. I also turn to jarred Thai red curry paste to provide the bulk of the avor for the dish. This widely available paste (check the grocers international aisle) packs big, bold avor that has kick, but not a lot of heat. And it marries perfectly with starchy ingredients, such as the potatoes and chickpeas. And for deep, lush and totally effortless avor, I use canned coconut milk for the liquid. Looking to cut fat? Dont hesitate to use low-fat coconut milk. It wont be quite so lush, but the avors will still be great. To make the meal even more substantial (and to stretch it to feed six people), add the meat from a rotisserie chicken at the same time as the potatoes.

To make the meal even more substantial (and to stretch it to feed six people),add the meat from a rotisserie chicken at the same time as the potatoes.

RED CURRY POTATOES AND CHICKPEAS


Start to nish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 3 large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1inch chunks 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon cinnamon 15-ounce can coconut milk 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained 1 small red onion, thinly sliced Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon cider or white vinegar 2 scallions, nely chopped

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the potatoes and water. Microwave on high until the potatoes are partly cooked, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large dry saute pan over medium-high, toast the cumin and cinnamon for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and curry paste, then bring to a simmer. Add the chickpeas and red onion, then return to a simmer. Once the potatoes have cooked, add them to the pan, toss, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cilantro and vinegar. Serve topped with scallions.

NEW YORK Pepsi is hoping to win back soda drinkers with a compromise. Some people dont like the calories in regular soda, but loathe the taste of diet. So the nations No. 2 cola company is rolling out Pepsi Next, a drink that has about half the calories of regular Pepsi at 60 calories per can. The cola, which is slated to hit store shelves nationally by the end of March, is Pepsis biggest product launch in years. The drink comes as people increasingly move away from sugary drinks to water and other lower-calorie beverages because of health concerns. Its also an attempt by Pepsi to revive the cola wars against Coke and others. Pepsi Next isnt the rst drink to try to hit the sweet spot between diet and regular cola. Dr Pepper Snapple rolled out its low-calorie Dr Pepper Ten, which has 10 calories. The company said the drink, which has sugar unlike its diet soda, helped boost its fourth-quarter sales. But coming up with a successful mid-calorie soda, which has more calories, has been more challenging for beverage makers. In 2001, Coke rolled out C2 and Pepsi in 2004 introduced its Pepsi Edge, both of which had about half the calories of regular soda. Both products also were taken off the market by 2006 because of poor sales. The problem was that consumers either wanted regular soda or a diet drink with zero calories not something in between, said John Sicher, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest. Pepsi says its latest stab at an in-between soda uses a different formula to more closely imitate the taste of regular soda. Pepsi Next is made with a mix of three articial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup.

HELPING
Continued from page 1
pushed around. I didnt know what to do, but I knew I needed to call someone, she said. Sasaki locked herself in her room and used Facebook to tell a friend she needed help. Police were called. Sasaki didnt tell the police her boyfriend hit her, however. Things continued to escalate until Sasaki had to request, and was granted, an emergency restraining order. At school, he still showed up and yelled at her. This turbulent reality continued after the couple broke up. Police were called multiple times and, at one point, her ex was thought to have broken into Sasakis home. Earlier this year, Sasaki got the best birthday gift her ex was locked up. Knowing he was in custody was a miracle. I could not sleep. I didnt feel safe. I had to be walked from my house to my car. I couldnt go to the library. I didnt feel safe, she said. Unfortunately, Sasakis story is not unique. February marks Teen Domestic Violence Awareness Month. One in four teens report being in an abusive relationship. Thats way too high, said Cori Manthorne, director of programs for CORA Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse. We think of it as an adult issue. But being in an abusive relationship as a teen increases the likelihood of being in one as an adult. Breaking that cycle comes down to education a goal for many individuals and local organizations. The challenge, Manthrone said, is most teens turn to peers for support.

Domestic violence resources


Do you need information about domestic violence? There are wonderful resources available online or by phone 24 hours a day. Love Is Respect Loveisrespect.org offers information as well as options to chat online,text loveis to 77054 to text or call (866) 331-9474. CORA Corasupport.org offers information on abuse and local services as well as a 24-hour hotline: (650) 312-8515 or (800) 300-1080. INOBTR (I Know Better) INOBTR.org offers information,tips about online safety and resources for
With that in mind, offering information to youth becomes more important. Locally, CORA has staff that goes to schools for presentations. More recently, teens have contacted the nonprofit wanting to help. Burlingame High School senior Maria Porter was one of those teens. When I discovered CORA, as a survivor of (domestic violence), I knew I had to join them and their efforts to end domestic violence. Now Im in training to be a certified volunteer, she said. Last week, Porter hosted a pledge to end teen violence at Burlingame High School. Students were asked to paint their hand and place a hand print on the canvas. I like the idea of a wall of hand prints because I want to the finished product to look like a wall of helping hands. By signing the pledge, an individual is promising to speak out against violence, treat their relationships with respect and care and to fight for the cause of ending domestic violence, Porter said. I also think the art piece is

parents and teens. California Adolescent Health Collaborative www.californiateenhealth.org is a public-private statewide coalition of individuals and organizations that works to increase understanding and support of adolescent health and well-being in California. StarVista San Carlos-based organization offers a youth crisis line, (650) 367-9687 and a 24-hour crisis line,(650) 579-0350.It offers a teen website with chat room at www.onyourmind.net.
a good idea because, instead of a number, its a visual to see how many Burlingame students signed the pledge. Porter had more than 200 signatures and also a number of honest conversations with students. Some shared their own personal thoughts about violence while others honestly declined to sign, saying they simply couldnt follow the request. Avoiding domestic violence starts with respect. Sasaki said everyone should expect respect and no one deserves to be hit or abused. If that happens, reach out to those who can help. Sasaki had nothing but praise for local police and friends and family who stepped up to offer her support. Ultimately, no one deserves to live in fear, she said.

MEASURES
Continued from page 1
the board to pull the item from the consent agenda and table it for a later discussion. The board declined. An increase in the transient occupancy tax would put the county on par with neighboring jurisdictions. The county currently charges 10 percent and a change to 12 percent would generate an extra $200,000 yearly based on current receipts of approximately $1 million, according to the County Managers Office. The county doesnt currently tax parking facilities but several cities like Millbrae and South San Francisco do. Of the approximately $80.9 million in gross receipts created by SFO, nearly $63 million falls in the unincorporated area. Assuming the figures stay roughly the same, a business license tax of 8 percent would generate approximately $4.9 million annually. A 2.5 percent business license tax on the operators of vehicle rental businesses would bring in approximately $7.75 million in general fund revenue annually based on the $310 million in receipts generated in 2010. Both Harvey and Withington said the industry is already heavily taxed, ticking off 10 percent to the county of San

Francisco for $30 million annually, $16 million in rent, a $20 transaction fee for the AirTran at San Francisco International Airport, a 2.85 percent state tourism fee and three separate taxes already directed specifically to San Mateo County. We are already paying our fair share, Withington said. The speakers acknowledged the countys desire to bolster its finances but said the funds collected will do nothing to improve the rental experience for customers or for employees, many of whom call the county home. Jon Bauesteros of the San Francisco Travel Association said the proposed hotel occupancy tax coupled with the rental vehicle tax will have a devastating impact on our economy and spur tourists to look elsewhere. He also said 35 new travelers equals one When emergency responders arrived at the lagoon near East Hillsdale Boulevard and South Norfolk Street around 2:50 a.m. June 25, Madera first said she was the only one in the car. Then she said her husband and child were still in the vehicle. San Mateo and Foster City fire officials immediately launched a full water rescue operation in the dark lagoon. After contacting the womans family, though, police determined she was lying about her family being inside the car. Wagstaffe said it still isnt sure if she even has a husband and child.

job in the region. Federal law prohibits the county from exclusively taxing airport-related business so the taxes, if approved, will apply to all commercial operators in the unincorporated area, including restaurants with valet parking and hotels that charge separately for parking. The county tried similar taxes in 2008 but both failed with just more than 52 percent voters opposed. After the election, county supervisors blamed a lack of active campaigning. But yesterdays speakers said the defeat is a sign the supervisors should not try again. The voters have already spoken, Withington said. The county will spend $280,000 to place the three measures on the ballot $200,000 for the first and $40,000 for each additional. The county will also pay to put the fire and police tax before June 5 in the service area commonly known as the Highlands. Currently, the county contracts with Cal Fire to protect all the unincorporated areas like the Highlands but voters there also pay $65 per parcel to increase the level of service. The tax was set at $65 in 1996 and generates about $92,000 annually.

LYING
Continued from page 1
June and prosecutors who filed a false report charge last fall say her lie to police may have been propelled by mental issues rather than a deliberate intent to deceive. However, they also argued that Madera must be held responsible for the great amount of government resources used based on her claim.

The exhaustive search involved San Mateo and Foster City fire personnel, a Redwood City rescue boat, the San Mateo Harbor Patrol and Cal Fire. Madera settled her case at a pretrial conference rather than face trial. Prosecutors dropped the original charge of filing a false police report and added the new count of disturbing the peace. She remains free from custody.
