GOP LAWMAKERS SEE AUTOMATIC CUTS AS
LEVERAGE
By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A group of a
half-dozen House members, equally
divided between Democrats and
Republicans, is nearing completion
of wide-ranging immigration legis-
lation similar to proposals by Senate
negotiators and President Barack
Obama, including a pathway to
legal immigration status for 11 mil-
lion illegal immigrants already in
the U.S.
The group intends to unveil the
legislation soon, perhaps around the
time of Obamas State of the Union
address Feb. 12, according to law-
makers and aides involved. It is like-
ly to face strong resistance from
many of the conservative
Republicans who dominate the
House.
Yet its mere existence is a sign of
more interest in immigration legis-
lation in the House than has been
evident for some time. Group mem-
bers and others say that, despite the
discomfort of many House
Republicans with any effort to
adjust illegal immigrants status,
they see glimmers of hope for pas-
sage of some kind of immigration
package during this session of
Congress.

The potential developer of Petes
Harbor offered tenants remaining at
the Redwood City marina the
chance to keep boat slips public if
they stop opposing the waterfront
residential project before the City
Council and other regulatory agen-
cies.
Paul Powers, president of Pauls
Corp., also offered to establish a
$50,000 fund for towing boats
whose owners cannot afford to relo-
cate their vessel, according to the
Jan. 24 term sheet offered to spokes-
woman Alison Madden and tenants
including Paul Mahler and Buckley
Stone.
The group was given until Jan. 25
and then Jan. 28 to agree but
Madden said, while she appreciates
the overture, it was not enough to
reimburse tenants who lost money
in trying to vacate the premises
quickly, didnt adequately address
parking and didnt commit to the
live-aboard tenants.
It was a good rst step but we
would have to give up not only our
appeal but also our advocacy,
Madden said. It just wasnt good
enough.
Powers confirmed the offer
although he said both parties had
agreed to condential discussions.

Its hard to dene what is so
incredible about this, said Jodi
Zwiebach, longtime friend of Cycle
for Survival founders Jennifer
Goodman Linn and her husband
David Linn. Just imagine moving
all the equipment out of the gym

2007 to raise money to ght rare
cancers, will take place for the third
time this Saturday, Feb. 2 from 8
a.m. through 5 p.m. at Equinox Pine

Police: Man stopped

BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. Police say

bar and had a beer minutes after he broke
out of a police station holding cell after
his arrest on an assault charge.

Aspen reviews 14 mph
speed limit to alert drivers
ASPEN, Colo. Aspen city council
members are considering a 14 mph speed
limit in a residential area of the Colorado

ignoring other efforts to protect people.
The Aspen Times reports Mayor Mick
Ireland suggested an 18 mph limit
because the number is out of the ordinary
for a speed limit. After further discussion,
council members decided to drop the pro-
posed limit down to 14 mph.
Humble nickel from
1913 likely to fetch millions
RICHMOND, Va. A humble 5-cent
coin with a storied past is headed to auc-
tion and bidding is expected to top $2
million a century after it was mysterious-
ly minted.
The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is one of
only ve known to exist, but its the
coins back story that adds to its cachet: It
was surreptitiously and illegally cast, dis-
covered in a car wreck that killed its
owner, declared a fake, forgotten in a
closet for decades and then found to be
the real deal.
It is expected to fetch $2.5 million or
more when it goes on the auction block
April 25 in suburban Chicago.
Basically a coin with a story and a rar-
ity will trump everything else, said
Douglas Mudd, curator of the American
Numismatic Association Money Museum
in Colorado Springs, Colo., which has
held the coin for most of the past 10
years. He expects it could bring more
than Heritage Auctions estimate, perhaps
$4 million and even up to $5 million.
A lot of this is ego, he said of collec-
tors who could bid for it. I have one of
these and nobody else does.
The sellers who will split the money
equally are four Virginia siblings who
never let the coin slip from their hands,
even when it was deemed a fake.
The nickel made its debut in a most
unusual way. It was struck at the
Philadelphia mint in late 1912, the nal
year of its issue, but with the year 1913
cast on its face the same year the
beloved Buffalo Head nickel was intro-
duced.
Mudd said a mint worker named
Samuel W. Brown is suspected of pro-
ducing the coin and altering the die to add
the bogus date.
The coins existence wasnt known
until Brown offered them for sale at the
American Numismatic Association
Convention in Chicago in 1920, beyond
the statute of limitations. The five
remained together under various owners
until the set was broken up in 1942.
A North Carolina collector, George O.
Walton, purchased one of the coins in the
mid-1940s for a reported $3,750. The
coin was with him when he was killed in
a car crash on March 9, 1962, and it was
found among hundreds of coins scattered
at the crash site.
One of Waltons heirs, his sister, Melva
Givens of Salem, Va., was given the 1913
Liberty nickel after experts declared the
coin a fake because of suspicions the date
had been altered.

Preserving as much land as possible while
using low-density development to repay the
citys self loan to purchase 35 acres of land in
San Juan Canyon was the direction given by
the Belmont City Council to staff during a
community meeting Tuesday.
The land was purchased in 2009 and the
City Council held a study session in October
to talk with developers about possible uses for
the land. On Tuesday, the council met with the
community during a three-hour meeting to
discuss concerns and the next steps in devel-
oping the land.
Mayor Christine Wozniak said the city has a
debt to itself, which it would like to pay back,
but also there is a desire to preserve as much
open space as possible. As a result, staff was
asked to look for low-density development
options that could cover a majority of the self
loan while leaving the eastern portion of the
land open.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach would
like to see a guarantee that whatever parcels
are not sold for development remain open
unless the public decides it would be better
used in another way. She is proposing to put a
measure on the November ballot barring the
sale of the other parcels of land in San Juan
Canyon without a vote of the public.
With that direction, city staff will start to
work together on a timeline and bring the item
back to the council in the future, said
Community Development Director Carlos de
Melo.
In October, three developers gave presenta-
tions to the council and land owners Michael
Melliar-Smith and Louise Moser made a pitch
to the city for it to acquire their 18-acre horse
ranch to be combined with the San Juan
Canyon lots. At the time, developers Mingstan
Development, Mayacama Partners LLC and
Paul Goswamy made presentations to the city.
Since then, Mingston Development has pulled
itself from possibly working on the project,
said de Melo.
Much of the property is on steep slopes and
is considered undevelopable and the remain-
der of the open space will be connected to
Belmonts trail system in the hills. About 22
acres are suitable to develop on Bishop Road
and Marsten and Ralston avenues.
The primary expectations of the developer
are to develop only those portions of the site
that are deemed suitable for residential homes
and identify the best uses for the balance of
the open space.
The city has previously proposed to sell off
a portion of the property for homes and to use
some of those proceeds to purchase adjacent
open space.
The property has a total of 87 plots includ-
ed in the purchase that the city bid on in an
auction held by the U.S. Marshals Service in
2009.
The city paid $1.4 million on four groups of
property, which included taxes and fees. The
purchase was made using an internal loan
from the citys eet account. That obligation
was recently at about $1.5 million, said de
Melo.
Selling some of the plots for homes will
help pay for the original purchase of the land.

Under the weight of ongoing state budget
cuts, the San Mateo County Superior Court yes-
terday announced it will slash up to two dozen
positions, close ve courtrooms and suspend the
majority of services in the South San Francisco
and San Mateo branches.
The changes will happen as early as July
2013 and include eliminating ve court com-
missioner positions and 16 to 21 staff members.
Two judges will remain at the South San
Francisco branch to conduct preliminary hear-
ings.
San Mateo County, like all counties
statewide, have seen their courts hit by state
budget cuts of more than $1 billion over the past
ve years. The local courts have already cut
staff by 30 percent, consolidated courtrooms
and hearings into the Redwood City branch and
trimmed service and phone hours. In
September, court ofcials warned more would
be coming down the pike if the state continued
with its cuts and yesterday conrmed the reali-
ty which includes further reduction of public
counter and phone hours in February.
Presiding Judge Robert Foiles called the gov-
ernors January proposed budget extremely
disappointing for failing to restore funding to
the trial courts.
We must plan now to effectively prioritize
the most essential court services to protect the
public while also living within our means. We
regret that this will mean further delays in many
other areas, Foiles said in a prepared statement.

The prime suspect in the 2010 killing of an
East Palo Alto activist whose improper police
confession led to the murder cases dismissal
wants to withdraw his no contest plea for hav-
ing three shanks in his jail cell.
Gregory Leon Elarms, 60, of Pittsburg, was
supposed to be sentenced Wednesday to up to
four years in prison but instead requested the
withdrawal. He returns to court Feb. 5 for a
hearing on the motion and, if not granted, sen-
tencing.
Prosecutors led the weapons charges in
November after a judge dismissed the murder
case largely as a way to keep him in custody
while an appeal of the ruling is pending.
Elarms pleaded no contest earlier this month
to possessing the weapons, a spork, a tooth-
brush and two pencils strapped together and
sharpened to a point. They were discovered
during cell searches in February 2011.
At the time, Elarms was awaiting trial for
the fatal shooting of David Lewis in the park-
ing garage of the Hillsdale Shopping Center in
San Mateo.
Elarms is accused of following Lewis from
San Mateo Medical Center, where he was an
outreach worker, to the
shopping centers parking
garage and shooting him
once in the torso. The men
reportedly knew each
other from childhood but
Elarms believed Lewis
had become his enemy.
Lewis uttered the name
Greg before dying but
police made no arrests
until contacted by Elarms six months after the
shooting. During the murder trial in
November, Judge Stephen Hall ruled Elarms
police confession inadmissible because San
Mateo police did not Mirandize him or
respond to his numerous requests for a lawyer.
Elarms prosecution was on hold for the bet-
ter part of a year while he was hospitalized in
a state mental facility before being found t
for trial.
Defense attorney Jonathan McDougall, who
Elarms has tried ring several times, did not
return an inquiry for comment.
Elarms remains in custody without bail.

Law enforcement personnel walk away from the perimeter of the scene of a shooting and
hostage taking in Midland City, Ala.
By Philip Rawls
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. A gunman holed
up in a bunker with a 6-year-old hostage kept
law ofcers at bay Wednesday in an all-night,
all-day standoff that began when he killed a
school bus driver and dragged the boy away,
authorities said.
SWAT teams took up positions around the
gunmans rural property and police negotia-
tors tried to win the kindergarteners safe
release.
The gunman, identied by neighbors as
Jimmy Lee Dykes, a 65-year-old retired truck
driver, was known around the neighborhood as
a menacing gure who once beat a dog to
death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot
children for setting foot on his property and
patrolled his yard at night with a ashlight and
a shotgun.
He had been scheduled to appear in court
Wednesday morning to
answer charges he shot at
his neighbors in a dispute
last month over a speed
bump.
The standoff along a red
dirt road began on Tuesday
afternoon, after a gunman
boarded a stopped school
bus lled with children in
the town of Midland City,
population 2,300. Sheriff Wally Olson said the
man shot the bus driver when he refused to
hand over a 6-year-old child. The gunman
then took the boy away.
As far as we know there is no relation at all.
He just wanted a child for a hostage situation,
said Michael Senn, a pastor who helped com-
fort the traumatized children after the attack.
The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr.,
66, was hailed by locals as a hero who gave
his life to protect 21 students.

City, parking company
named in death lawsuit
Family members of a private landscap-
er who drowned last year after falling
into a hole lled with water at a South
San Francisco-owned property led a
lawsuit this week against the city and
business renting the space.
Jean Arbelbide, a self-employed land-
scaper, was working at Park SFO at 195
N. Access Road in South San Francisco
on the morning of March 29, according
to the lawsuit. While spraying herbicides
on weeds near a former shipping dock,
Arbelbide stepped on a piece of plywood
which was covering a hole. The wood
broke and Arbelbide fell into the 9-foot-
deep hole lled with about 6 feet of
water, in which he drowned, according to
the lawsuit.
On Tuesday, nine members of
Arbelbides family six siblings, two
nieces and a nephew led a lawsuit
against South San Francisco, and Trux
Transportation and Robert Simms, to
which the property was leased. The fam-
ily is claiming dangerous condition of
public property and negligence. They are
requesting damages and legal costs.
Calls to the city attorney and Trux
Transportation were not returned.

Angeles for more than 30 years,
Jonsen said. Menlo Park Police
Department is known for their commit-
ment to serving this community and I
consider myself honored to become
part of this team.
The new chief said he will work to
reduce crime, strengthen partnerships
and build synergy until Menlo Park
becomes the safest city in America.
Jonsen will assume his position after
he passes a Peace Ofcer Standards and
Training background check, which is
required by all California police chiefs
accepting a position in an outside depart-
ment.
PHS reunites terrier and
resident after two years
On Tuesday, a Palo Alto resident was
reunited with a Boston Terrier lost two
years ago near Cubberley Park.
The dog was found in Daly City with
what is believed to be an old, untreated
leg injury. The Peninsula Humane
Society and SPCA was called by a Daly
City resident who found the dog wander-
ing near Security Public Storage on Hyde
Court in Daly City.
A PHS/SPCA humane ofcer picked
up the dog, saw he had a leg injury and
immediately brought him back to the San
Mateo shelter. Staff scanned the dog for
a microchip and, once it was detected,
contacted the microchip company for the
owners contact information. PHS/SPCA
reached Palo Alto resident, Brandon
Springer, who said the dog, Oreo,
belonged to his grandmother who died
last year.
The dog escaped from the yard two
years ago when a gate was left open and
the family surmised he ran to nearby
Cubberley Park, where he went for daily
walks. At the time, Cubberley has hosting
a soccer tournament and the family
guessed a spectator picked him up. In
addition to being microchipped, Oreo
had a collar and ID tag with his owners
contact information.
Golden Gate Bridge
testing electronic toll system
Testing of a new toll system for the
Golden Gate Bridge began Wednesday,
as the span gets ready to become the rst
in California to do away with toll collec-
tors and go all-electronic.
Bridge ofcials anticipate that starting
in late March, drivers will be able to pay
using an existing transponder system as
well as the new system that scans license
plates at the toll plaza. Using cash on the
span will no longer be an option.
The license plates will be connected to
pay-as-you-go or pre-paid accounts. In
addition, one-time payments using the
plate numbers can be made online or at
kiosks.
Motorists who fail to pay in advance
will receive an invoice in the mail, not
citations or nes.
Its a gentler approach to collecting
tolls, Golden Gate Bridge District
spokeswoman Mary Currie said.

Lawmaker proposes school
staff training for gun use
By Christina Hoag
LOS ANGELES A group of seven Republican state leg-
islators on Wednesday unveiled a bill that would allow school
districts to use state funds to give rearm training to staff so
they are equipped to ward off campus attackers.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly said he introduced AB 202,
which he dubbed the the California School Marshal Plan, in
response to the December shooting at a Connecticut elemen-
tary school that killed 20 children and six adults.
The teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook showed
incredible bravery, laying their lives down for their students,
the Twin Peaks lawmaker said. We must honor their sacrice
by ensuring that our teachers are not left defenseless again.
Current law allows school staff to carry a concealed rearm
on campuses if allowed by the district. The proposed law would
expand that by allowing school districts to use general purpose
funds to train any willing school employee teachers, admin-
istrators or support staff to use guns, Donnelly said.
Police: One dead in Arizona
shooting, suspect on loose
By Jacques Billeaud
PHOENIX A gunman opened re at a Phoenix ofce
complex on Wednesday, killing one person, wounding two
others and setting off a manhunt. Police warned the public that
he was armed and dangerous.
Authorities identied the suspect as 70-year-old Arthur
Douglas Harmon, who they said opened re at the end of a
mediation session. They identied a man who died hours after
the late morning shooting as 48-year-old Steve Singer.
Police said a 43-year-old man was listed in critical condition
and a 32-year-old woman suffered non-life threatening
injuries.

Schwarzenegger lauds
Austrias environment record
VIENNA Arnold Schwarzenegger is
praising Austria and not because its the
country of his birth.
Arriving in Vienna on
Wednesday ahead of the
launch of his energy and
climate change project,
Schwarzenegger lauded
all the great things in
Austria that are happening
regarding climate change.
European Commission
President Josi Manuel
Barroso will be joined by
Austrian Chancellor Werner Fayman and
other Austrian leaders at what organizers
describe as the opening meeting of
Schwarzeneggers R20 initiative Thursday.
The project is intended to focus on the role
of states, regions, cities and provinces in
working to achieve U.N. and European Union
environmental goals.
Israeli jets bomb
military target in Syria
BEIRUT Israel launched a rare airstrike
inside Syria, U.S. ofcials said Wednesday,
targeting a convoy believed to contain anti-
aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah mili-
tants in Lebanon. The attack adds a potential-
ly ammable new element to tensions already
heightened by Syrias civil war.
It was the latest salvo in Israels long-run-
ning effort to disrupt the Shiite militias quest
to build an arsenal capable of defending
against Israels air force and spreading
destruction inside the Jewish state.
Regional security ofcials said the strike,
which occurred overnight Tuesday, targeted a
site near the Lebanese border, while a Syrian
army statement said it destroyed a military
research center northwest of the capital,
Damascus. They appeared to be referring to
the same incident.
Around the world
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
By Alan Fram
WASHINGTON Severely wounded and
still recovering, former Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords begged lawmakers at an emotional
hearing Wednesday to act quickly to curb
rearms because Americans are counting on
you. Not everyone agreed, underscoring the
national political divide over gun control.
Giffords 80-word plea was the days most
riveting moment, delivered in a hushed, halt-
ing voice two years after the Arizona
Democrat suffered head wounds in a Tucson
shooting spree that killed six people. The ses-
sion also came two months after 20 rst-
graders and six women were slain by a gun-
man who invaded Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Conn.
At the same hearing, a top ofcial of the
National Rifle Association rejected
Democratic proposals to ban assault weapons
and high-capacity ammunition magazines and
said requiring background checks for all gun
purchases would be ineffective because the
Obama administration isnt doing enough to
enforce the law as it is.
Even if stronger back-
ground checks did identi-
fy a criminal, as long as
you let him go, youre not
keeping him from getting
a gun and youre not pre-
venting him from getting
to the next crime scene,
said Wayne LaPierre, the
NRAs executive vice
president. He said poor
enforcement is a nation-
al disgrace.
Giffords, who retired from Congress last
year, focused during her brief appearance on
the carnage from armed assailants.
Too many children are dying, she said at
the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Too
many children. We must do something. It will
be hard, but the time is now.
Guiding her in and remaining to testify was
Mark Kelly, the retired astronaut who is
Giffords husband. The couple, who both
owns guns, has formed a political action com-
mittee called Americans for Responsible
Solutions that backs lawmakers who support
gun restrictions.
Were simply two reasonable Americans
who realize we have a problem with gun vio-
lence and we need Congress to act, Kelly said.
Wednesdays session played out in a hear-
ing room packed to capacity. While both sides
appealed to their followers beforehand to
arrive early and ll the room, most in the pub-
lic audience of around 150 appeared to be
gun-control sympathizers, including relatives
of the shootings at Virginia Tech.
There should be gun control, said Neeta
Datt of Burtonsville, Md., who with Christa
Burton of Silver Spring, Md., was rst on line
for public seats. Both are members of
Organizing for Action, the Obama political
organization that is now pushing his legisla-
tive agenda.
The hearing kicked off a year in which
President Barack Obama and members of
Congress are promising to make gun restric-
tions a top priority. Obama has already pro-
posed requiring background checks for all gun
sales and reviving both an assault weapons
ban and a 10-round limit on the size of ammu-
nition magazines, and several Democrats have
introduced bills addressing those and other
limitations.
Giffords pleads for gun curbs
Gabrielle
Giffords
By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Theres a growing
sense of resignation that the countrys politi-
cal leaders will be unable or unwilling to nd
a way around looming automatic spending
cuts despite fresh signs the cuts would threat-
en the recovering economy.
On one side are conservative Republicans,
outnumbered and frustrated, who see the
painfully large cuts as leverage in their battle
to force Democrats into concessions on the
budget. On the other side are President Barack
Obama and his Democratic allies, who are
pressing to replace some of the cuts with new
tax revenues.
The predictable deadlock and looming
cuts of $85 billion this budget year alone
has the potential to slam the economy, pro-
duce sweeping furloughs and layoffs at feder-
al agencies and threatens hundreds of thou-
sands of private sector jobs.
The cuts would shrink the Pentagon budget
by 7 percent and force most domestic agen-
cies to absorb a 5 percent cut concentrated in
the last half of the budget year.
Just last year, GOP leaders were among the
loudest voices warning of dire consequences
for the military and the economy if more than
$100 billion in cuts across the board went into
effect. Now, even as defense hawks fume,
Republicans see the strategy as their best
chance of wringing cuts from costly govern-
ment benet programs like Medicare that
Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress
have been reluctant to touch.
The move is fraught with risk. Some $43
billion would be cut from the Pentagon budg-
et between March and October if battling
Democrats and Republicans cant agree on an
alternative.

Letters to the editor
By Adrienne Parker
I
f leaf blowers werent the bane of my
existence before a demonstration for the
San Mateo City Council Jan. 22, they
certainly are now. Theyve risen from second
position (in rst position are the garbage trucks
that park beneath my bedroom window six
mornings every week) to now being the clear
winner. The tipping point? My nose.
Last week, at the demonstration, I watched
and listened to roughly seven different leaf
blowers in action. There were ve or so gas-
powered blowers, one lithium battery-powered
blower and one gas-powered leaf vacuum. All
were extremely loud and all but the lithium
model spewed smelly plumes of toxic emis-
sions including carbon monoxide, nitrogen
oxides, hydrocarbons and particulates. In addi-
tion to the shrill of its gas-powered motor, the
leaf vacuum enhanced the experience with an
ear-piercing crackling cacophony of debris
swirling through its shaft. Imagine the sound
of your vacuum cleaner sucking up pennies,
paper clips and hairpins thats the sound. As
it sucked the leaves, dirt and debris into its
bag, a force of air strained the concoction into
a ne toxic dust that shot through its porous
fabric in all directions. That dust by the way,
that same dust that is blown all around our
neighborhoods by our beloved leaf blowers,
contains pesticides, mold and fecal matter.
Now take a deep breath.
Ignorantly, I stood there, took notes and lis-
tened to the arguments on the ban, pro and
con. I spoke to several people to assess their
vested interest. I wanted to know who was
there and what they stood to gain or lose
should the ban get passed. Who could I trust
for objective information? As it turned out: no
one. There were politicians, landscaping com-
pany owners, San Mateo
park personnel, manufac-
turing company reps and a
handful of residents, each
with their own intractable
point of view. I decided to
have an open mind and lis-
tened closely to their argu-
ments. I walked away
believing in a compromise
and I was optimistic I
could come up with a few workable ideas.
That night, I started sneezing and hoped I
wasnt coming down with a cold or u. The
next morning my sinuses were a mess, my
eyes were tearing and I was sure I was getting
sick. I didnt have a sore throat (the usual start
of a cold). I didnt have u symptoms. No
fever. No aches and pains. Its now day four
but Im no better. My symptoms are the same
only now my eyes and face itch. I didnt want
to consider allergies because allergies are
chronic and Ive never suffered from them and
I hoped I never would. I wanted it to be a sim-
ple cold that would work itself out in a few
days, but I wasnt so lucky. In all honesty, I
dont have scientic proof but, considering my
symptoms and the feedback I got from the
pharmacist, Im now convinced that I do have
some kind of allergy and that it was triggered
by whatever was being kicked up that day in
the park. I now have deep empathy for the
allergy sufferers of the world for all of
those people who live with a constant feeling
of needing to sneeze, for people with chronic
running red noses, burning, itching, tearing,
puffed up eyes, raw nostril ares, smeared
makeup, exhaustion from a lack of sleep and
dry, cracking lips from constant mouth breath-
ing. Allergies, as I now know, are hell.
In spite of how I feel personally, Im com-
mitted to being fair although I must admit I am
teetering on the edge a total ban seems pret-
ty good to me right now. So, while my own
personal misery is in conict with my desire to
be fair, I realize a complete ban might not pass
and a compromise might be the only possibili-
ty for any change at all. With that, here are a
couple of ideas:
1. Properties with large landscaped areas of
a certain size (TBD) would be permitted. That
would include the parks, schools and any area,
public or private, that qualify. Any property
with landscaped areas smaller than that size
would be banned from leaf blowing. Most
homes in the area have rather small lawns and
yards and seem small enough for a rake and
broom.
The onus should be on the property owners
because, unlike landscaping companies, they
arent likely to risk a ne. The nes should be
prohibitive and steep, perhaps $500 for the rst
offense and $1,000 for the second.
2. Perhaps smaller properties could be
allowed to use clean and quiet electric blowers
only. The use of power cords of up to 100 feet
could determine the size of the landscaped
areas included, i.e., any yard or lawn that
makes an electric leaf blower usable with a
100 foot or shorter power cord would be OK.
Achoo!

Unsubstantiated
anti-leaf blower claims
Editor,
John Ebneter and Rick Bonilla, who com-
mented in the story, A dusty demonstration,
in the Jan. 23 Daily Journal failed to provide
any specic research to support their claim that
leaf blowers pose a serious hazard to public
health.
Laws should be based on fact, not opinions.
In the Recommendations section of its long
report to the California legislature, the
California Air Resources Board recommended
against restrictions on leaf blowers and advised
further studies be done.
Later, the lead researcher of the only scien-
tic study ever conducted specically on leaf
blowers stated that the amount of particulate
matter created by leaf blowers was not signi-
cant.
Interestingly, the researcher, Dennis Fitz,
said that the amount of particulate matter dust
created by the construction industry was 20
times greater:
(http://www.valleyair.org/Recent_news/News_
Clippings/2006/In%20the%20News%20--
%20February%2024,%202006.pdf). So
Ebneter and Bonilla should look at their own
industry rst.
If CARB would not recommend any restric-
tions on leaf blowers, how can a few public
ofcials advocate banning them without all the
proper research being completed?
It is not fair to penalize all businesses in San
Mateo for the irresponsible practices of some.
There are operators who use leaf blowers with
consideration, minimizing noise and dust. Leaf
blowers are an indispensable and efcient tool
if one is maintaining many/large properties.

Setting the record straight
Editor,
San Mateo County voters gave county of-
cials a strong vote of condence when they
approved a half-cent sales tax (Measure A) on
the November ballot. San Mateo County con-
tinues to hold the distinction of being the only
county in the state with AAA ratings from
Moodys and Standard and Poors.
In deciding how to allocate Measure A
funds, the Board of Supervisors will hold pub-
lic meetings starting Feb. 12 seeking public
comment.
A letter written by Michael Stogner pub-
lished in your Jan. 30 edition contained a reck-
less allegation against a member of the Board
of Supervisors. It unequivocally stated that
Supervisor Tissier is the CEO of Bay
Relations, Inc. The fact is that Supervisor
Adrienne J. Tissier transferred all interest and
has not been afliated with Bay Relations
since 2005. That was eight years ago.
Dont believe everything you nd on the
Internet. Where you can nd accurate business
information is on the California Secretary of
States website.
Since the global recession began in 2008,
San Mateo County has reduced its workforce
by 727 positions and held salaries at for most
bargaining units. At the same time, employees
are contributing greater sums to health care
and retirement benets.
The passage of Measure A reects the elec-
torates belief that the county will spend local
tax dollars wisely. And the continued high
bond ratings reects the condence by inde-
pendent outside agencies that the county has a
sound nancial plan.

Take a deep breath
Wing and a prayer
T
ongues are clucking over the supposed
nationwide wing shortage. The Super
Bowl is mere days away and football
fans, commercial acionados and those who
just appreciate any excuse to pop a beer and
dip some chips are in a tizzy over word that
there many not be enough chicken wings to go
around.
No buffalo wings,
no party platters, no
debate over the need
for carrot and celery
sticks as accouter-
ments or ranch versus
blue cheese (or bleu,
for that matter) if
the rumor mill is
turning out accurate
grist these days,
wings will be a pretty
hot commodity this Sunday if only for their
rarity. In other words, import some foie gras
and stock up on Kobe beef. Chances are good
their availability is easy compared to the situa-
tion that will now be known as every scan-
dal, issue and problem is labeled as Wing-
gate.
The National Chicken Council is squawking
that consumption will be a mere 1.23 billion
wings and drumettes, down 12.3 million from
last years Super Bowl. Seems record high
corn and feed costs resulted in chicken compa-
nies producing about 1 percent fewer birds
which means less wings and higher prices. The
wholesale price is about $2.11 per pound in
the Northeast, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture which says that is
the highest on record.
Boneless alternative? Just not the same, the
true fans say.
The situation has grown so dire that two
Georgia men were arrested for allegedly steal-
ing approximately 26,000 pounds of frozen
chicken wings from a cold storage business
where they worked. The street value is no
chicken feed. Authorities say the wings, which
currently remain at large, are worth about
$65,000. Not too shabby.
Of course, would anyone really want to buy
wings from some shady character on a corner
or out of the back of a truck in a parking lot?
Stereo equipment and sides of beef are one
thing. But wings?
Chances are, yes. People are serious about
their football traditions and serious about their
wings. One published report claims
Thanksgiving is bested only by the Super
Bowl as the nations largest day of wing con-
sumption. Side note: Really?
But back to wings. Fans of boneless wings
need not worry as those babies have no actual
wing meat. Partygoers who prefer the gua-
camole and seven-layer dip are also safe. In
fact, anybody who doesnt count wings as tops
on the Super Bowl menu hey, birds of a dif-
ferent feather, right? need not make an
emergency plea at the nearest Wing Stop.
Everybody else, though, get ready to rumble
if you dont want to be caught waving a white
feather at the last minute. Remember what
happened with other expected food favorite
shortages. Twinkies were sold on eBay for
thousands of dollars per box when word broke
of parent company Hostess bankruptcy. The
possibility of no Eggo wafes due to factory
closures and mishaps generated a restorm of
worry by those who just couldnt leggo.
Bacon? Pork lovers nearly cried with the
thought of their greasy staple being out of
reach. Thankfully, the rumors about the death
of bacon, Twinkies and wafes turned out to
be much ado about nothing. The upcoming
chicken famine of Super Bowl 2013 may be
similar poppycock.
Just in case, though, be sure to stock up on
ribs, pizza, chips, bagel bites, potato skins and
everything fried or slathered in between as a
culinary Plan B. And if the football game party
just wont be the same with the poultry omis-
sion, get thee to the nearest purveyor right
quick rather than relying on crossed ngers
and a belief this prediction is nothing but hys-
teria akin to the Mayan apocalypse of 2012.
Super Bowl Sunday is denitely not the time
to wing it.

NEW YORK Worries about the
economy have slowed a January stock
rally.
After a month of impressive gains that
brought the Dow within 200 points of a
record, the markets have paused this
week. Stocks started the day lower
Wednesday after a report showed that
the U.S. economy unexpectedly con-
tracted in the fourth quarter. That
decline extended after the Federal
Reserve said that it would continue to
try to boost growth through a bond-buy-
ing program designed to keep borrow-
ing costs down.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
44 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at
13,910.42, logging only its second
decline in nine days. The Standard &
Poors 500 fell 6 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 1,501.96, its biggest decline since
Dec. 28. The Nasdaq composite fell 11
points to 3,142.31.
The U.S. economy shrank from
October through December for the rst
time since the recession ended, hurt by
the biggest cut in defense spending in 40
years, fewer exports and sluggish growth
in company stockpiles, the Commerce
Department said Wednesday.
The Fed acknowledged that the econ-
omy is still struggling to regain momen-
tum, in a statement it released after its
two-day policy meeting. The central
bank said that growth had paused in
recent months, and while it was taking
no new action, it would keep buying $85
billion of bonds a month.
The Fed didnt really say anything
out of the ordinary, so you got the reac-
tion you shouldve had in the morning,
said Joe Saluzzi a co-founder at broker-
age rm Themis Trading. When youve
spent this much money trying to prop up
an economy and you still come up with
a negative print, thats bad news.
Still, stocks remain on track for a great
January.
The Dow Jones average has surged 6.2
percent since the start of the year, climb-
ing close to 14,000 and within touching
distance of its record level. The S&P 500
has gained 5.3 percent this month, close
to its highest level in more than ve
years. Investors bought stocks after law-
makers reached a deal to avoid the s-
cal cliff and on optimism the U.S. hous-
ing market is recovering and the jobs
market is slowly healing.
U.S. gross domestic product, the vol-
ume of all goods and services produced,
contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 per-
cent in the fourth quarter. Thats a sharp
slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth
rate in the July-September quarter.
To ignore this is folly, said Doug
Cote, chief market strategist at ING
Investment Management. Certainly,
this market could continue to move for-
ward, but ignoring the fundamentals is
not something Id counsel my clients to
do.
Positive company earnings reports
helped offset the disappointing news
about the economy and stem a bigger
decline.
Amazon jumped $12.41, or 4.8 per-
cent, to $272.76 after the worlds biggest
online retailer showed improving prot
margins when it posted fourth-quarter
earnings late Tuesday. Boeing, currently
scrambling to x battery problems that
have grounded its 787 Dreamliner
planes, gained 94 cents, or 1.3 percent,
to $74.59 after it reported earnings that
beat analysts expectations. Rising prof-
its from commercial jets offset a smaller
prot from defense work.
Economy puts brakes on stock rally
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Chesapeake Energy Corp., up $1.14 at $20.11
Aubrey McClendon, the energy companys CEO, is leaving Chesapeake
amid philosophical differences with its new board of directors.
Robert Half International Inc., up $2.21 at $35.74

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy
shrank unexpectedly late last year, a reminder
of the biggest threat it faces in 2013: sharp gov-
ernment spending cuts and prolonged political
budget ghts.
A plunge in defense spending helped push
the economy into negative territory for the rst
time since mid-2009. The contraction in the
October-December quarter came in at an annu-
al rate of 0.1 percent, according to a govern-
ment estimate released Wednesday.
The likelihood of another recession appears
remote. The economy is forecast to grow
around 2 percent this year as strength in areas
like housing and auto sales could partly offset
government cutbacks. Investors appear
unfazed, too: The stock market has surged more
than 6 percent this year and is nearing an all-
time high.
But economists warn that further spending
cuts would weaken a still-precarious recovery.
One way or the other, government is going
to be a constraint on growth, said James
Marple, senior economist at TD Bank.
Deep spending cuts in defense and domestic
programs are set to kick in March 1. Most of the
federal government could shut down March 27
if Congress doesnt extend a temporary meas-
ure authorizing funding. And the nations bor-
rowing limit must be raised by May 18 or the
government could default on its debts.
A sputtering economy could weaken
President Barack Obamas hand in dealing with
Congress and complicate his efforts to push for-
ward on other domestic priorities, such as
immigration reform and gun control.
The Commerce Department said the econo-
my shrank last quarter mainly because compa-
nies restocked at a slower rate and the govern-
ment slashed defense spending. Exports also
fell. Economists say some of those factors
could prove temporary. Still, the slowdown
from the 3.1 percent annual growth rate in the
July-September quarter was unexpectedly
sharp.
For all of 2012, the economy expanded 2.2
percent, better than 2011s growth of 1.8 per-
cent.
The Federal Reserve referred to the fourth-
quarter slowdown Wednesday in a statement
after a policy meeting. The U.S. economy
appears to have paused in recent months, the
Fed said, mainly because of temporary factors.
U.S. economy shifted into reverse in late 2012
Facebook 4Q results surpass expectations
NEW YORK Facebook delivered fourth-quarter results
above Wall Streets expectations on Wednesday and sought to
show that it has nally transformed into a mobile company.
But its stock dropped sharply in after-hours trading as
investors placed more signicance on the companys growing
expenses rather than on its increasing user base and higher
advertising revenue.
Everything was slightly better than expected, said
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter. I dont see
anything here that would make me want to sell the stock.
Nonetheless, Facebooks stock fell $1.34 cents, or 4.3 percent,
to $29.90 in after-hours trading following the earnings report.
New BlackBerry wont be
released in U.S. until March
NEW YORK Research In Motion Ltd. unveiled new,
versatile BlackBerrys after excruciating delays allowed
Apple, Samsung and others to build commanding leads in an
industry that is redening society. But the rst phone wont
come out in the United States until March, and one with a
physical keyboard will take at least a month longer.
The stock fell 12 percent after Wednesdays kickoff,
despite mostly positive reviews about the new BlackBerry 10
operating system. Theres concern the phone isnt coming out
sooner, and theres worry BlackBerry 10s advances wont be
enough to turn the company around.
Savings seen on diabetes supplies
WASHINGTON Medicare is announcing a price cut.
Diabetes testing supplies now average about $16 a month
for beneciaries. Thats going down to around $4.50.
Savings are also coming for many patients who rent home
oxygen gear, hospital beds, wheelchairs and other equipment.
Medicare deputy administrator Jonathan Blum said
Wednesday its due to competitive bidding making inroads
against wasteful spending.
Starting July 1, diabetes patients will get blood sugar test-
ing supplies through a new national mail order program.

CULLIVER APOLOGIZES: 49ERS CORNERBACK SAYS HE SORRY FOR ANTI-GAY REMARKS >>> PAGE 12

NEW ORLEANS Michael Crabtree
refused to remove the black 49ers beanie and
reveal his hair. Nope, not going to do it.
Crabtree is trying to maintain every possible
element of surprise he might still have left
heading into his rst Super Bowl and will
certainly take any advantage he can get this
week.
Not that his do has
much to do with it. But this
is Crabtree, quirky and
superstitious, a guy still
trying to shed that diva
label he picked up as a col-
lege star at Texas Tech. Its
something his San
Francisco teammates are
quick to dismiss, insisting
thats not the case.
The dynamic, play-making wide receiver
will be a primary focus for the Baltimore
Ravens secondary come Sunday at the
Superdome. Crabtree is as dangerous after the
catch as he is dodging defensive backs to
make acrobatic catches or nding ways to
keep both feet inbounds while tiptoeing the
sideline.

Aragon boys soccer coach Greg
Markoulakis said his team can play
several different styles when it
comes to scoring goals. Wednesday
against host Mills, the Dons spent
the rst half trying to emulate the
Vikings style: namely, building up
an attack through the mideld with
a number of passes, getting the ball
out to the wing and then swinging
crosses into the penalty box.
It didnt work too well for the
Dons, despite the fact they held a 1-
0 lead at halftime. In the second
half, Markoulakis had the Dons do
what they do best: direct attacks on
the opposing goal. It worked to per-
fection as Aragon had a number of
scoring chances in the nal 40 min-
utes, including a breakaway goal as
the Dons recorded a 2-0 win to
remain unbeaten in Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division
play.
Its difcult (trying to play a dif-
ferent style) because the emotional
and compositional makeup of the
team dictates our attacking style,
Markoulakis said, whose team
improved to 6-0-3 in Ocean
Division play. We tried the build
up (in the rst half) and it didnt
work.
Mills (4-2-3), on the other hand,
did well with its work in the mid-
eld and the Vikings controlled pos-
session and the attack in the open-
ing 40 minutes. The only thing lack-
ing, however, was the nished prod-
uct. The Vikings had seven shots in
the rst half, most of which narrow-
ly missed.
Mills Justin Andrada and Erik
Johnson were especially unlucky in
the rst half. Both had a number of
good looks at goal, but just could
not direct shots on net. Andrada
won a 50-50 ball in the Aragon
Dons stay unbeaten

Its safe to say that the Woodside High School
has become a second-half basketball team
both game wise and on the schedule.
On Wednesday against Hillsdale High School,
the Wildcats overcame a ve-point halftime
decit to defeat the Knights 47-46. It was a sec-
ond half highlighted by Woodsides commit-
ment to the defensive glass and the shooting of
Ryan Blocker and Mitchell Hickman.
The win also means that two games into the
second half of the Peninsula Athletic League
South Division schedule and the Wildcats are 2-
0, and back to .500 at 4-4.
I think that we really refused to lose in this
one, said Woodside head coach Doug Fountain.
We did better. We worked hard at practice in
end-of-the-game situations and we got a bunch
of seniors that refuse to lose and are competi-
tors.
There were some key turnovers, late espe-
cially, said Hillsdale head coach Brett
Stevenson. I thought our shot selection could
have been better, couple of 50-50 balls late. We
had one possession late that I thought was key
where we gave up three or four offensive
rebounds.
The battle of the boards was huge considering
the scale at which Woodside was able to turn that
statistic around. Consider that at halftime, the
Knights had outrebounded the Wildcats 17-5.
But Woodside led in that category 13-12 in the
second half.
The Knights led 25-20 at the half despite
shooting just 23 percent from the oor.
However, they shot a perfect 9 of 9 from the
charity stripe which helped them build a lead.
Woodside led twice in the rst half, but those
advantages came in the opening minute of the
game. From there, it was pretty much all
Hillsdale on defense, limiting the Wildcats to 29
percent shooting from the oor.
We talked about getting better box outs when
the shots going up and we also talked about get-
Woodside slips past Hillsdale by a point

which is worse: the mundane or the
absurdity when it comes to the two-
week buildup to the biggest sporting event on
the calendar. I can read only so many stories
about Colin Kaepernick and his tattoos or
how Alex Smith has handled his demotion or
another chapter of the Harbaugh brothers fac-
ing off against each other.
But the alternative? Tuesdays big news
story out of New Orleans was Baltimore
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis being linked to
I am not making this up deer-antler
spray, which is somehow supposedly a per-
formance enhancing
drug. There was also
49ers wide receiver
Randy Moss claiming
to be the greatest
receiver of all time. At
least Lewis and Moss
can now thank San
Francisco defensive
back Chris Culliver for
knocking them out of
the news cycle, due to
Cullivers homophobic
remarks to comedian
Artie Lange on
Langes syndicated radio show. When asked if
Culliver thought he had any gay teammates,
Culliver responded by saying, and Im para-
phrasing here, no one on the 49ers is gay and
if they are, they need to leave. When Lange
followed up by asking would a gay player be
accepted if he was really good, Culliver
responded with a series of, nah, nahhhhhh,
nahhhhhhh ... nah.
My God, read the room the man. As much
as it was ridiculous for any 49er, let alone one
who has been here for season, to claim he is
better than Jerry Rice, Cullivers comments
struck a much broader note considering the
history of the gay community and activism in
the Bay Area in general and San Francisco
specically. In other words, he is playing pro-
fessional Russian roulette, in San Francisco at
the very least, by denigrating homosexuality
in the backyard of the gay movement.

NEW ORLEANS San
Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris
Culliver apologized Wednesday
night for anti-gay remarks he made
during a Super Bowl media day
interview a day earlier.
The derogatory comments I
made yesterday were a reection of
thoughts in my head, but they are
not how I feel, he said in a state-
ment released by the team. It has
taken me seeing them in print to
realize that they are hurtful and
ugly. Those discriminating feelings
are truly not in my heart. Further, I
apologize to those who I have hurt
and offended, and I pledge to learn
and grow from this experience.
The 49ers said earlier Wednesday
they had addressed the comments,
but didnt elabo-
rate on whether
the second-year
player would
face disciplinary
action or a ne.
During an
i n t e r v i e w
Tuesday at the
S u p e r d o me ,
C u l l i v e r
responded to questions from come-
dian Artie Lange by saying he
wouldnt welcome a gay player in
the locker room. He also said the
49ers didnt have any homosexual
players and, if they did, those play-
ers should leave.
The San Francisco 49ers reject
the comments that were made yes-
terday, and have addressed the mat-
ter with Chris, the team said.
There is no place for discrimina-
tion within our organization at any
level. We have and always will
proudly support the LGBT commu-
nity.
Culliver planned to formally
address his remarks during a news
conference during the 49ers media
availability Thursday morning,
according to his personal public
relations representative, Theodore
Palmer.
The interview Tuesday began
with Lange asking Culliver about
his sexual plans with women during
Super Bowl week. Lange followed
up with a question about whether
Culliver would consider pursuing a
gay man.
I dont do the gay guys, man. I
dont do that, Culliver said during
the 1-minute taped interview. Aint
got no gay people on the team. They
gotta get up outta here if they do.
Cant be with that sweet stuff.
Lange asked Culliver to reiterate
his thoughts, to which the player
said, Its true. He added he would-
nt welcome a gay teammate no
matter how talented.
Nah. Cant be ... in the locker
room, nah, he said. Youve gotta
come out 10 years later after that.
The 24-year-old Culliver, a third-
round draft pick in 2011 out of
South Carolina, made 47 tackles
with two interceptions and a forced
fumble this season while starting six
games for the NFC champion
Niners (13-4-1).
He had his rst career postseason
interception in San Franciscos 28-
24 win at Atlanta for the NFC title.
The 49ers participate in the NFLs
It Gets Better anti-bullying cam-
paign. The city of San Francisco and
progressive, open-minded Bay Area
are home to a large gay community.
Three organizations working for
LGBT inclusion in sports Athlete
Ally, You Can Play, and GLAAD
reacted to Cullivers remarks and
later acknowledged his apology.
Chris Cullivers comments were
disrespectful, discriminatory and
dangerous, particularly for the
young people who look up to him,
said Athlete Ally Executive Director
Hudson Taylor. His words under-
score the importance of the athlete
ally movement and the key role that
professional athletes play in shaping
an athletic climate that afrms and
includes gay and lesbian players.
Cullivers current views are as mar-
ginal as they are misguided. Were
seeing more and more NFL players
take a stand against homophobia in
sports through our advocacy and we
know that support at this level is
only going to grow. It is becoming
clear that discrimination is on the
fringe and has absolutely no place in
sports.

United States striker Jozy Altidore
refuses to hold a grudge against fans
who showered him with racist abuse
during a match this week, saying:
We all make mistakes.
In an interview with The
Associated Press, Altidore said he
decided to play through the abuse
Tuesday because he didnt want to
give satisfaction to people who
directed monkey chants at him.
The 23-year-old said it was the rst
time he has expe-
rienced racism
like this, on or off
the eld.
This was pret-
ty big. To have a
stadium chanting
monkey sounds
is not something
pleasant, he said
in the phone
interview. Im the only black player
on my team, so I think it was more
directed to me than anyone else.
Theres a bunch of videos online,
you can hear them pretty clear, he
added. It was really loud.
Dutch club FC Den Bosch pledged
Wednesday to do all it can to identify
and punish the fans who hurled abuse
at Altidore during the Dutch Cup
match against Altidores AZ
Alkmaar. It said the abusive fans
will face the toughest possible sanc-
tions.
Altidore said such incidents are a
stain on everyone, not just fans who
chanted.
Anytime it happens I think we all
should be ashamed, Altidore told the
AP. Its very embarrassing for
everybody, you know, because at the
end of the day we are, as a society,
trying to move forward. So when that
happens I think everybody takes a
loss.
Its disappointing. But, I mean, at
the end of the day, you know you
hope those people can improve them-
selves.
Altidore said he has prayed for his
tormentors.
My family, we were brought up,
you know, very religious. My mother,
she always told us that the best way
to help some people, especially peo-
ple you have no way of coming into
contact with, is to pray for them.
And, yeah, thats what I did.
Because, I mean, those people
theyre deep down probably not all
bad people. But at the same time peo-
ple make mistakes and this for them
was a mistake.
He added: You just pray that it
wont be repeated and that they learn
from it and you forgive them because
at the end of the day you cant hold
grudges against people. We all make
mistakes.

NEW ORLEANS Ray Lewis is agitated.
Not because the Baltimore Ravens linebacker
thinks the magazine report linking him to a
company that purports to make performance-
enhancers will affect his play or that of his
teammates against the San Francisco 49ers in
the Super Bowl the nal game of a 17-year
NFL career that most assume will earn him a
spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Rather, Lewis did not want to spend time dis-
cussing the subject in private with his head
coach or in public with the media, as he did
Wednesday, when his forceful denials and
attacks on the owner of the supplement compa-
ny meant the matter intruded for a second
consecutive day on his retirement send-off.
Its so funny of a story, because I never, ever
took what he says or whatever I was supposed
to do. And its just sad, once again, that some-
one can have this much attention on a stage this
big, where the dreams are really real, Lewis
said, wearing his white No. 52 Ravens jersey,
gray sweat pants and a black hat with the teams
purple logo. I dont need it. My teammates
dont need it. The 49ers dont need it. Nobody
needs it.
He smiled widely when the rst question at
his media session was about the topic surely,
he gured it was coming
then chuckled later while
addressing it. Known for his
frequent references to God
and faith, Lewis called the
whole episode a joke and
a trick of the devil, adding
that he told teammates:
Dont let people from the
outside ever come and try to
disturb whats inside.
Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday that Lewis
sought help from a company called Sports With
Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS), which says
its deer-antler spray and pills contain a natural-
ly occurring banned product connected to
human growth hormone. The 37-year-old
Lewis, the MVP of the 2001 Super Bowl, is the
leading tackler in the NFL postseason after
returning from a torn right triceps that sidelined
him for 10 games.
SI reported that company owner Mitch Ross
recorded a call with Lewis hours after the play-
er hurt his arm in an October game against
Dallas. According to the report, Lewis asked
Ross to send him deer-antler spray and pills,
along with other items made by the company.
On Wednesday, Lewis called Ross a coward
and said he has no credibility.
Ross declined an interview request from The
Associated Press but emailed a statement read-
ing: It is the view of SWATS and Mitch Ross
that the timing of information was unfortunate
and misleading and was in no way intended to
harm any athlete. We have always been about
aiding athletes to heal faster and participate at
an optimum level of play in a lawful and healthy
manner. We never encourage the use of harmful
supplements and/or dangerous drugs.
Told by a reporter that he seemed angry,
Lewis replied: Me? Never angry. Im too
blessed to be stressed. Nah. Youre not angry.
You can use a different word. You can use the
word agitated, because Im here to win the
Super Bowl. Im not here to entertain somebody
that does not affect that one way or another.
Christopher Key, a co-owner of SWATS, said
in a telephone interview that the company
removed NFL players endorsements from its
website because all the players were given let-
ters by the NFL two years ago saying they had
to cease and desist and could not continue to do
business with us anymore.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello conrmed that
but did not respond to other requests for com-
ment about SWATS or Lewis involvement.
Teammates uniformly pushed the same mes-
sage as Lewis and Ravens head coach John
Harbaugh Everybody heard about it, but
were not worried about it, is the way rookie
running back Bernard Pierce put it and sev-
eral said NFL players often are offered products
to aid in muscle-building or recovery.
Youve got to be real careful. Youve got to
think theres a reason theyre giving you this
product, Pierce said. If someone has success,
another person wants to be mentioned in that
like, Oh, Im the reason for that. If anybody
tries to give me anything or tries to sell me on
their stuff, I say, Go right to my agent.
Wary of using something that has no real ben-
et or, worse, that would result in a positive
drug test administered by the league players
seek approval rst from the NFL, the union, or
a team trainer or doctor.
Ive been approached, Baltimore nose tack-
le Maake Kemoeatu said. Theyll come to me
and they tell me, This will help you with recov-
ery and all that. I say, OK. I appreciate it.And
then I will call the NFL.
Another athlete mentioned in the SI story,
three-time golf major champion Vijay Singh,
released a statement Wednesday at the Phoenix
Open, acknowledging he used deer-antler spray
and saying he wasnt aware that it may contain
a substance banned by the PGA Tour.
Sports Illustrated reported that when it spoke
to Lewis for its story, he acknowledged asking
Ross for some more of the regular stuff on the
night of the injury and that he has been associ-
ated with the company for a couple years.
Lewis stance was different Wednesday.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Jerry Sandusky lost
a bid for a new trial Wednesday when a judge
rejected his argument that his lawyers were not
given enough time to prepare for the three-
week proceeding that ended with a 45-count
guilty verdict on child sex abuse charges.
Judge John Clelands 27-page order said
lawyers for the former Penn State assistant
football coach conceded that their post-trial
review turned up no material that would have
changed their trial strategy.
I do not think it can be said that either of the
defendants trial counsel failed to test the pros-
ecutions case in a meaningful manner,
Cleland wrote. The defendants attorneys sub-
jected the commonwealths witnesses to mean-
ingful and effective cross-examination, pre-
sented evidence for the defense and presented
both a comprehensive opening statement and a
clearly developed closing argument.
He also rejected post-sentencing motions
regarding jury instructions, hearsay testimony
and a comment by the prosecution during clos-
ing arguments that referred to the fact that
Sandusky, who did not testify at trial, gave
media interviews after he was arrested in
November 2011.
Cleland said the prosecutions closing was
not presented in a way that was either calcu-
lated to, or did, create in the jurors a xed bias
toward the defendant.
Sandusky also argued that charges should
have been thrown out because they were not
sufciently specic, but Cleland said the lack
of specic dates did not prevent Sandusky from
pursuing an alibi defense.
The defendant has simply argued the
offenses did not happen, Cleland said.
One of the jury instruction issues was
whether Cleland should have talked to them
about the amount of time it took for the victims
to inform authorities that Sandusky had abused
them.
No one who has had the slightest experi-
ence with child sexual abuse or given a whit of
thought to its dynamics could conclude that
failure to make a prompt complaint, standing
alone, is an accurate indicia of fabrication,
Cleland said.
Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year state
prison sentence for the sexual abuse of 10 boys,
including violent attacks inside Penn State ath-
letics facilities.
Sandusky lawyer Norris Gelman said
Wednesday that while he had not read the deci-
sion, Clelands ruling means an appeal will be
led to the mid-level Superior Court within the
next 30 days.
Attorney General Kathleen Kane released a
statement late Wednesday saying the judges
ruling was consistent with the position taken by
prosecutors.
Also Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Senate
unanimously approved a bill that aims to keep
Penn States $60 million ne to the NCAA
over the Sandusky scandal within the state.
The measure, sponsored by Sen. Jake
Corman, a Republican whose district includes
State College, would require such nes of at
least $10 million to be deposited into a state-
administered account, and be spent on
Pennsylvania programs that address childhood
sexual abuse.

NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez was speaking on a confer-
ence call.
A huge debacle, he said. Distasteful.
That was on Dec. 13, 2007, when he re-signed with the New
York Yankees and was discussing his decision 1 1/2 months
earlier to become a free agent.
Now those words describe how some in the teams front
ofce feel about A-Rods $275 million, 10-year contract.
Once considered a player who could shatter the career home
run record, Rodriguez has transformed from All-Star to annoy-
ance for some in the Yankees organization. He hasnt played a
full season since he was voted his third AL MVP award in
2007, hes out for at least the rst half of this year following
hip surgery on Jan. 16 and now hes been accused of again
receiving performance-enhancing drugs an allegation he
denies.
Even before the charges were published Tuesday by the
alternative weekly Miami New Times along with accusations
against Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Gio Gonzalez, Bartolo
Colon and Yasmani Grandal, some Yankees executives were
wishing Rodriguez would just go away. Speaking on condition
of anonymity because the team isnt publicly commenting on
A-Rods latest troubles, they revealed their frustration with the
slugger.
And they have a big incentive for A-Rod to disappear. If he
doesnt play again due to a career-ending injury, about 85 per-
cent of the $114 million hes owed by the team would be cov-
ered by insurance, according to one of the executives who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
New York also might be able to free itself from having the
$27.5 million average annual value of
Rodriguezs contract count in its luxury tax
payroll in each of the next ve seasons, a
key factor as the Yankees try to get under
the $189 million threshold in 2014.
If Rodriguez is on the disabled list, his
contract is included. But if hes on the vol-
untary retired list, it would not be part of
the total.
And if the Yankees fall under that $189
million benchmark, their luxury tax rate
would drop from its current 50 percent to 17.5 percent for
2015. That would give them far more exibility to pursue
pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez and Justin
Verlander if they become free agents following the 2014 sea-
son.
New York is not likely to be able to void A-Rods deal.
Baseballs drug agreement between management and the play-
ers association species the commissioners ofce has all dis-
ciplinary authority for violations.
A-Rods poor health, however, may provide the path to sav-
ings for the team.
While Rodriguez rebounded from right hip surgery in March
2009 to help the Yankees to their rst World Series title since
2000, Dr. Bryan Kelly said recovery from his operation on A-
Rods left hip this month will be more complex if for no other
reason than it receives more stress because Rodriguez is a
right-handed hitter.
Even before the latest kerfufe, A-Rod seemed to have worn
out his welcome.
Yankees management tired of spotting him on the gossip
pages with Madonna, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and Torrie
Wilson. They bristled when he was seen with a stripper in
Toronto, at a swingers club in Dallas and at an illegal poker
club in New York.
They made their displeasure public in 2010 when they said
they never authorized Rodriguez to be treated by Dr. Anthony
Galea, who said he prescribed anti-inammatories to A-Rod
following the rst hip operation. Indicted in part for illegal
possession of human growth hormone with intent to distribute,
the Canadian doctor pleaded guilty in 2011 to one count of
introducing misbranded drugs into interstate commerce with
the intent to mislead a U.S. agency.
Then came last years playoffs, when Rodriguez was
benched in three of nine games and pinch hit for in three oth-
ers. He irted with girls in the stands after he was removed
from the AL championship series opener against Detroit.
Rodriguezs 647 home runs are 115 shy of tying Barry
Bonds career record but he has totaled just 34 the last two sea-
sons and his 38th birthday is in late July. He has averaged 119
games, 21 homers and 81 RBIs over the last three years.
Before and after most games, when media is allowed to
enter the Yankees clubhouse, Rodriguez spends little time at
his locker in the back left of the oval room, not too far from the
entrance to the inner sanctum that contains the players lounge,
steam room, sauna, rubdown room, weight room, trainers
room and swimming pool. He doesnt have one of the prestige
locations anking the back entrance, held by Derek Jeter and
Robinson Cano, who took over the spot when Jorge Posada
retired.
He has never been accepted by Yankees fans the same way
they adored Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge
Posada. And now, with his increasing tabloid notoriety and
declining production, some of the teams executives have con-
cluded hes more a handicap than a help as the team strives for
World Series title No. 28.
Latest A-Rod troubles have Yankees frustrated
Alex Rodriguez
ting more help from the perimeter players, better checks, getting
more guys on the board, Fountain said of his teams adjustments
come halftime. I think that helped and it prevented them from get-
ting out on the fast break.
The Wildcats got huge guard play in the third quarter offensively
to fuel the comeback. Hickman and Blocker combined for 12 points
in the frame.
The Knights held the Wildcats off for the rst six minutes but
Woodsides persistence broke through on a Michael Thompson
jumper from the base line that gave his team a 32-31 lead. The
Wildcats took that lead to four points but saw it evaporate in a 17-
second span, 35-34.
It took a miracle half court shot by Blocker at the quarter buzzer
to swing the momentum back in Woodsides favor, 37-35, and end a
frantic quarter of play.
We wouldnt have won the game without the two of them,
Fountain said of his guards. Hes (Blocker) the epitome of a point
guard. He wants to win. He wants to make the good pass, he wants
to make the good stop defensively. [And] Mitchell is a terric play-
er. Thats the way hes played all year long. Hes averaging over 20
points a game and he wants the ball in his hands when its clutch.
There were 19 points scored in the fourth period and they were all
of the nail-biting variety.
Woodside build a ve-point lead when David Lopez hit a 3-point-
er, but Hillsdale went on a 7-0 run, capped off by three the hard way
by Chris Arshad via a pretty post move, to lead 42-40.
Woodside tied it up 42-42 on a Ryan Yedinak jumper from the top
of the key.
Hillsdale retook the lead after a free throw but gave up the next
four points, punctuated by a tough, but pretty, turnaround jumper by
Blocker on the baseline for a 46-43 advantage with under a minute
to play. A free throw made it 47-43.
Hillsdale had its chances late but a pair of crucial turnovers made
things exponentially more difcult with time and possessions at a
premium.
Still, the Knights got within a point with 8.2 second left after
Angelo Bautista, who had been quiet the entire second half offen-
sively, knocked down a 3-pointer.
After a quick foul and a missed free throw by Blocker, the Knights
got the look they wanted on the left wing. But the ball hit back iron
and Woodside came away with the victory.
Were getting better, Fountain said. And I think this is a sign
that well continue to improve and were looking forward to the sec-
ond half of the season.
Hickman led all scorers with 16 points. Woodside had two more
in double gures with Blocker (14) and Lopez (10).
For Hillsdale, Tushar Raghuram nished with 13 points. Arshad
also had 13 to go with eight rebounds.

penalty box and had a step on the defender. He
broke on goal, but his shot sailed well high.
Minutes later, Mills took a throw in deep in
Aragon territory and the ball was thrown to the
middle of the Dons penalty box. Carlos Dantas
was unmarked and leapt in the air, hitting a vol-
ley, that also went just high. Johnson had a cou-
ple of long-distance shots go just wide of the net
as well.
Mills is a very good squad, Markoulakis
said. They impressed (us) the rst time we
played them.
Meanwhile, Aragons attacks were few and far
between. But in the 29th minute, against the run
of play, Ranier Plantinos pounded in his 10th
goal of the PAL campaign off a corner kick to
give the Dons a 1-0 lead. Manny Villasenor trig-
gered the play by sending the corner kick into
the Mills penalty box. The Vikings goalkeeper
came off his line, but managed to only slap the
ball down, where it trickled out to Plantinos,
who was stationed near the left corner of the
box. After he took a touch to settle the ball, he
blasted a shot through trafc and into the right-
corner of the net.
[Plantinos] is a phenomenal player,
Markoulakis said. He may be the class of the
league.
In the second half, the Dons scrapped their
tactic of trying to build up their attack through
the mideld and took the direct approach. Not
only did it clog up the middle and slow down
Mills attack, it generated a number of danger-
ous scoring chances for the Dons, who had eight
shots in the second half, four of which were on
goal.
Aldo Severson was the lone target up top for
the Dons in the second half and he drew a lot of
attention, at times drawing all four Viking
defenders to him. He had a couple of chances go
by the wayside before he nally connected in the
65th minute. A long clearance by the Aragon
defense sprung Severson loose. He ran by the
defense and broke in on goal. As the defenders
closed on him, it appeared his last touch was too
heavy and the Mills goalkeeper had a chance at
stopping him. But with his long strides,
Severson caught up to the ball and poked it past
the sliding goalkeeper and into the net for his
eighth tally of the league season.
[Severson] picked up his work rate in the sec-
ond half. Dropping [Plantinos] into the mideld
helped ( the offense), Markoulakis said.
[Both Severson and Plantinos] are major com-
ponents of our attack.
SOCCER
you catch the ball, but after the catch its really
all you, he said. Thats what makes you spe-
cial.
No matter his catches or number of chances
this weekend, Crabtree cares about only one
thing: capping his career season with a champi-
onship ring. The fanfare and media frenzy, hell
take it or leave it (his voice was hoarse
Wednesday from all the talking). He is still com-
ing to terms with being a public gure, and the
constant scrutiny that goes along with it.
Just last week, Crabtree learned he wouldnt
face charges for an alleged sexual assault in a
hotel after the 49ers beat Green Bay in the NFC
divisional playoffs on Jan. 12. The San
Francisco district attorney announced Friday
there would be no charges at this time. The
wideout was never arrested or detained, and
police said he cooperated with the investigation.
I was disappointed in the allegations,
Crabtree said Wednesday morning, before head-
ing off to practice at Saints headquarters. Its
over now.
Crabtree still carries a chip on his shoulder
and is out to prove he should have been drafted
higher. He held out for 71 days as a rookie
before signing in October 2009 and becoming a
starter less than three weeks later. He wouldnt
change much about how things have gone so
early in his NFL career.
After all, had he gone to the Oakland Raiders
with the seventh overall pick that year they
selected Darrius Heyward-Bey instead
Crabtree would be watching after yet another
losing season in the East Bay. The Niners
grabbed him three spots later at No. 10.
I watched him as a youngster, I watched him
in college, Baltimore receiver Jacoby Jones
said. When he came out and he held out, I was
interested to see what he was going to do. He
came in and I was like, This kid can play. I like
his game. Hes got great hands, great route run-
ner.
Colin Kaepernick sure thinks so. Crabtree
quickly became the second-year quarterbacks
top target after he took over the starting job
under center midseason.
Kaepernicks passes come so fast they
require extra concentration and youve just
got to focus at all times on his ball.
He does a lot of things well and hes a very
physical receiver, Kaepernick said. He wants
to get in the end zone every time he touches
the ball. As a quarterback, thats something
you love.
Crabtree receives guidance from a couple of
other characters who have dazzled at his posi-
tion teammate Randy Moss and former 49ers
star Terrell Owens. Moss tells Crabtree like it is,
on the eld and off, while T.O. offers advice
from time to time via text messages.
Theyve got a few things in common, too.
In the season nale against Arizona on Dec.
30, Crabtree caught two touchdowns and n-
ished with a career-high 172 yards on eight
receptions. It was the best outing by a 49ers
receiver since Owens 166-yard performance in
November 2002. Crabtree, nally healthy for a
full season after a series of injuries in his rst
three seasons, also became San Franciscos rst
1,000-yard receiver since T.O. in 03.
If he and Kaepernick can keep their good
thing going, Crabtree certainly has a chance at a
championship.
49ERS
Its one thing to think that privately. Its
another to discuss your feelings with close
friends and condants. Its something else
entirely to go on a national radio show and let
your true colors shine through for all to see.
Not a smart move.
***
And while on the subject of media and the
Super Bowl, the NFL should really do some-
thing about Tuesdays ofcial media day, where
more than 5,000 people received media creden-
tials. I dont begrudge the real journalists out
there covering the teams, but there are too many
clowns sometimes literally posing as
journalists running around in costumes who
somehow acquired media credentials.
Does the cable network Nickelodeon really
need a reporter need to be there?
Entertainment Tonight? 107.7 The Bone morn-
ing show guys?
I know media day has become an irreverent
tradition at the Super Bowl, but enoughs
enough. Just let the professionals handle the
media duties.
***
What a year the 2012-13 sports season has
been for Bay Area Sports fans. The San
Francisco Giants and Oakland As both made
the playoffs with the Giants winning their sec-
ond World Series title in three seasons. The
49ers proved last season wasnt a uke as they
advance to the Super Bowl for the rst time in
18 years. The Golden State Warriors appear to
have turned the corner and are a legitimate play-
off team, while the San Jose Sharks also appear
to be one of the best in this years shortened
NHL season, jumping out to a 6-0 start.
That leaves only the Oakland Raiders strag-
gling behind. I said it was a great year, not a
Utopia.

cover eyes lling with tears. The woman, in
her 70s, is trying to explain how she wound
up in a shelter that could well be where she
spends the rest of her life.
While the woman was living with a close
family member, ofcials at the Shalom Center
say, her money was being drained away by
people overcharging for her grocery shop-
ping, while her body and spirit were sapped
by physical neglect and emotional torment.
She says she was usually ordered to go to
bed, where she lay in a dark room, upset,
unable to sleep.
She just yelled at me all the time.
Screamed at me, cussed me out, the woman
says of a family member. I dont know what
happened. She just got tired of me, I guess.
The Shalom Center offers shelter, along
with medical, psychological and legal help, to
elderly abuse victims in this northern
Cincinnati suburb. It is among a handful in the
country that provide sanctuary from such
treatment, a problem experts say is growing
along with the age of the nations population.
The number of Americans 65 and over is
projected to nearly double by 2030 because of
the 74 million baby boomers born in 1946-64,
and the number of people 85 and over is
increasing at an even faster rate. The number
of seniors being abused, exploited or neglect-
ed every year is often estimated at about 2
million, judging by available statistics and
surveys, but experts say the number could be
much higher. Some research indicates that 1
in 10 seniors have suffered some form of
abuse at least once.
Thats a big number, said Sharon
Merriman-Nai, project director of the
Clearinghouse on Abuse and Neglect of the
Elderly, based at the University of Delaware.
Its a huge issue, and its just going to get
bigger.
Recognition of and mechanisms for dealing
with elder abuse are many years behind
strides that have been made in child abuse
awareness and protection, experts say.
Getting comprehensive numbers of the
abused is complicated, experts say, because the
vast majority of cases go unreported out of
embarrassment, fear of being cut off from fam-
ily most abuse is at the hands of relatives
or confusion about what has happened.
Abuse sometimes comes to light only by
chance. County-level adult protective services
caseworkers can get anonymous tips. In one
recent Ohio case, a hair stylist noticed her eld-
erly client was wincing in pain and got her to
acknowledge she had been hit in the ribs by a
relative. Another Shalom Center patient was
referred by sheriffs detectives who said his
son beat him.
Are these older people going to be allowed
to live their lives the way they deserve to?
said Carol Silver Elliott, CEO of the Cedar
Village retirement community, of which the
Shalom Center is a part. We really are not
addressing it as a society the way we should.
The Obama administration has said it has
increased its focus on protecting American
seniors by establishing a national resource
center and a consumer protection office,
among other steps. But needs are growing at a
time when government spending on social
services is being cut on many levels or not
keeping up with demand.
In Ohio, slowly recovering from the reces-
sion, budgets have been slashed in such areas
as staffs that investigate elderly abuse cases.
Staff at the Job and Family Services agency
in Hamilton County in Cincinnati is about
half the size it was in 2009, spokesman Brian
Gregg said. Even as national statistics indicate
elder abuse is increasing, the number of elder
Elder abuse, use of shelters rising
The number of seniors being abused, exploited or neglected every year is often estimated at about 2 million, judging by available statistics
and surveys, but experts say the number could be much higher.

abuse cases the agency can probe is lower,
down from 574 cases in 2009 to 477 last year,
he said.
There are no longer enough adult protective
services investigators to routinely check on
older adults unless there is a specic report of
abuse or neglect.
We do the best we can down here, Gregg
said, noting that the agency has a hotline to
take anonymous reports and that it is seeing
more nancial scams targeting elderly peo-
ple.
The price for not getting ahead of the prob-
lem and preventing abuse of people who
would otherwise be healthy and nancially
stable will be high, warned Joy Solomon, a
former Manhattan assistant prosecutor who
helped pioneer elder abuse shelters with the
Weinberg Center for Elder Abuse Prevention,
which opened in 2005 at the Hebrew Home
community in New York City.
My argument always is, if all you do is
come in when the crisis has occurred, it is
much more costly than preventative care,
said Solomon, director of the shelter, which
takes in about 15 people a year. Were going
to have to pay for it anyway.
She and others in the eld say the rst steps
are to raise public awareness and train police,
lawyers, criminal justice ofcials and others
to recognize and respond to signs of abuse.

Redwood Creek and Smith Slough yesterday
morning, according to James Lee, spokesman
for Occupy Redwood City, which is support-
ing the tenants.
Work began around 9 a.m. to remove the
cleats, which are instruments that hold a line
to secure a boat to a dock.
By taking out the cleats, they are just mak-
ing the dock unusable, Lee said. In order to
put new cleats in youd have to rip off the
entire dock.
Lee claims the work is part of a larger effort
to evict the 20 or so remaining tenants who
have refused to leave the harbor following a
Jan. 15 lease expiration.
Adam Alberti, spokesman for Petes Harbor
owner Paula Uccelli, said yesterday mornings
work is part of an overall property mainte-
nance plan required by the owners lease.
Petes Harbor, which lies west of Highway
101 on a San Francisco
Bay inlet, has 263 boat
slips, about 60 of which
had been occupied by
live-aboards, or people
who permanently resided
on their boats.
The marina is situated
on private property owned
by Uccelli, who wants to
sell the 13-acre site to
developer Pauls Corp.
Her right to do so and evict the boat owners
was upheld by the Redwood City Planning
Commission on Oct. 30. The tenants have
appealed the decision, and the appeal was
scheduled to be heard by the City Council last
Monday, but was postponed.
The developer intends to create a residential
community and marina at Petes Harbor that
would include 411 units of family housing,
public space and the creation of approximate-
ly 2,000 jobs, according to Alberti.
Alberti said that in the past couple of weeks,
the property owner has demonstrated a great
deal of cooperation and resolve to try and
peacefully work with these tenants.
Police were called yesterday morning, he
said, when maintenance crews were not able
to conduct the work they were scheduled to do
because tenants declined to move.
They have some maintenance issues they
need to perform on the land, Alberti said.
Part of the lease obligation is to maintain the
environment to appropriate standards, and we
need a vacated marina to do so. We cant work
on docks and piling when people are living
there.
Yesterday morning, workers asked one of
the tenants to move to another boat slip so that
they could remove a portion of the dock that
was unsafe, Alberti said.
When the tenant refused, police were called
and a secondary plan to remove the cleats was
put in motion, Alberti said.
Instead of creating further issues, crews
went to removing the cleats of the sections
that werent being utilized, he said.
However, protesters told the crews they did
not have the right to be there, blocked them
from doing work and threw their equipment
into the water, Alberti said.
Occupy Redwood City is standing in soli-
darity with the tenants who are being forced to
relocate, Lee said.
We just want a more humane timeline,
Lee said.
Truth is, (the property owners) are
backpedaling, he said. What happened
today was that they were going to take out the
docks and now are just removing cleats so that
people cannot tie a dock-line here.
Members of Occupy Redwood City came in
yesterday morning to aid the tenants, accord-
ing to Lee.
As a group, we are supporting Save Petes
Harbor they would like the development to
be coded as a commercial space with public
access, not rented out to luxury boat slips for
condo living, he said.
The next likely legal turn in the story will
come May 6, when the Redwood City Council
plans to hear the appeal of approved permits
so it can determine if Uccellis lease requires
Petes Harbor to remain a commercial marina.
HARBOR
do it in order to satisfy some of the tenants.
That was the motivation behind it. We were
seeking harmony, Powers said.
The crux of the tug-of-war and offer is a
portion of land Uccelli leases from the State
Lands Commission. She wishes to transfer the
lease to Powers as part of the harbors sale but
Madden and other like-minded tenants argue
the SLC requires the outer harbor to be used
as a commercial marina rather than the private
slips proposed as part of the project.
The City Council postponed on Monday an
appeal of the Planning Commissions permit
approval until it is clear on the requirement
and Madden is suing Uccelli to stop the proj-
ect on that basis.
The offer by Powers stated that boat slips in
that area would be leased to the general pub-
lic including but not limited to the residents of
the new project. Parking for non-residents
would be accommodated in a proposed park-
ing structure. No boats or tenants would be
allowed in the private interior area after Feb. 1
to facilitate repairs and upgrades. In return,
Madden and the others would sign a consent
agreement not to oppose the project in any
way whatsoever at the City Council, SLC,
Bay Conservation and Development
Commission or other regulatory agency.
The terms also called for $50,000 to be
administered by Madden and Mahler for tow-
ing and administration of the agreement.
Adam Alberti, a spokesman for Petes
Harbor owner Paula Uccelli, said while she
has no role in any settlement between the
developer and tenants she is very apprecia-
tive and grateful the developer has put for-
ward to keep the outer harbor a public marina
and nancially help the remaining tenants.
From our perspective, it is a very generous
offer and achieves 100 percent what theyve
been arguing for, Alberti said. We think it
should be seriously considered.
With the offer rejected, Madden said the
tenants are still willing to have discussions
with Powers. Powers said the next step is
seeking whatever approvals are still necessary
to move forward. He also referenced the City
Council meeting Monday night where the
appeal was delayed and a tenant stated that
Madden does not necessarily represent every
voice out there.
Right now its difcult to know with whom
to negotiate, Powers said.
The public debate over the future of Petes
Harbor began last fall when Uccelli submitted
plans to the city to sell the 21-acre site found-
ed by her late husband to Pauls Corp. The
project in question calls for 411 residential
units adjacent to the marina and the private
marina for residents.
The Planning Commission unanimously
agreed Oct. 30 to approve the planned devel-
opment permit and a parking exception. The
decision came after a lengthy meeting in
which opponents argued the plan was fast-
tracked and eliminated affordable housing
while supporters countered that development
was Pete Uccellis ultimate goal.
Harbor tenants were given until Jan. 15 to
vacate and Uccelli has said their eviction
stands regardless of the appeals outcome.
Several remain on the site.
Since June 2002, Uccelli has required all
live-aboard leases to include language
acknowledging the possibility of relocation.
All leases the past 12 years have also been
month-to-month because of the sale potential.
However, Maddens lawsuit states not every
lease had this clause and others are unsigned.
PETES
old woman out of San Carlos, was not injured,
according to police.
The cause of the collision is still under
investigation and the Burlingame Police
Department is asking anyone with informa-
tion on the accident or who may have wit-
nessed it to call 777-4100.

Floral fads may ebb and ow, but the roses
appeal remains constant, well beyond a
Valentines Day vaseful.
In home decor, roses have long been a
favorite motif, in wallpapers, lace, chintz,
and soft silk furnishings such as curtains,
bedding and carpet. The versatile rose oral
can impart old-fashioned cottage-y charm,
cosmopolitan elegance, even a certain sexy
chic.
English drawing rooms were rife with rose
patterns throughout the Victorian era, and the
Shabby Chic heyday of the 1990s saw count-
less rooms decorated with faded country
roses.
While the rose is quite at home in tradi-
tional spaces, there is an architectural quality
to its petaled form that ts well with modern
decor, too, and the colors can be extraordi-
nary.

tographs roses against white backgrounds,
creating striking, sometimes quirky botanical
portraits. In one composition, she turns the
ower heads upside down; in another she
places a soft plump rose amid spiky dried
fern leaves. Harris arranges rows of blowsy
blooms in candy hues of cherry, lemon and

frame-able paper.

Decorating year round with roses
By Dean Fosdick
Vegetable gardening is an exercise in
patience. Sweet potatoes can take more than
100 days to ripen; some tomato and water-
melon varieties require five months.
But there are ways to shorten the wait.
The easiest is choosing plants that taste
best when harvested young.
The one thing you will miss out on with
speedy growing is bulk, but what you will
get in return is layers of flavor; a sprinkle of
hot and peppery micro-green radish here, a
sweet and nutty, barely cooked new potato
there, a garnish of cucumber-y borage flow-
ers to finish a dish, writes Mark Diacono in
the new The Speedy Vegetable Garden
(Timber Press). These are the crops that
will mark out your cooking as distinctly and
unquestionably homegrown.
Timing is everything.
Be slow to harvest and youll miss their
best moments, says Diacono, who does his
gardening on a 17-acre plot in Devon,
England. These are fresh, lively and zingy
flavors, flavors that can either fade or
become bitter and overly strong as the plant
grows on toward maturity.
Many plants notably fruit are genet-
ically wired for late development.
Tomatoes, strawberries and apples all
want to be left on the plant until they are
fully ripe to get the fullest, lushest flavors
out of them, Diacono
says. Vegetables
are a little different.
Many get woodier,
less succulent and
lower in sweetness as
they grow more mature,
so really are at their
loveliest picked young.
That would include new
potatoes, radishes, baby
carrots, zucchini, minia-
ture cucumbers, spring
peas, turnips and beets.
Cu t - a n d - c o me - a g a i n
salad leaves can be clipped
in as little as 21 days.
Sprouted seeds (mung beans,
mustard, lentils) can become
table fare in just three days.
Check the maturity dates on seed
packets as you shop. Heirloom toma-
toes take 100 days or more to develop
while cherry tomatoes need only about 65
days.
The same goes for squash. Winter squash
(acorn, butternut) generally require 110
days before they are kitchen-ready. Summer
squash (crookneck, zucchini), by compari-
son, can be eaten in 55 days or less.
There are many ways to jumpstart the
growing season so you can be
harvesting a meal while
other gardeners
are just
beginning to
turn the
ground. Among them:
Choose the warmest site possible if
youre planting early. Even a small change
in temperature can make a difference during
spring and fall frosts, says Jo Ann Robbins,
an extension educator with the University of
Idaho.
Use enclosures. Covering plants moder-
ates temperature, wind and humidity. Air
and soil temperatures are warmer, and the
cover will conserve heat radiation from the
soil during the night, Robbins says in a
fact sheet.
Start vegetable plants inside from
seed, and transplant
them eventually into
the garden.
Research shows the
older the transplants, the
better they will resist cold
weather, Robbins says.
Warm the soil early.
Throw a piece of black or clear
polyethylene over the soil in early
spring, pin it down with tent pegs or
bricks, and wait, Diacono says. The
sun will warm it and excessive water will
be kept off, leaving it in a fantastically
workable state a few weeks later and con-
ducive to quick plant growth.

ty of Democrats want to get something
done, want to x it.
The group has been meeting in secret
off and on for years in various permuta-
tions, beginning around the time of the
last serious effort on immigration in
Congress in 2007, which failed in the
Senate. Theyve drafted legislative lan-
guage in the past but without ever intro-
ducing a bill. Theyve largely kept their
efforts quiet in part to shield members
from the likely political blowback from
conservatives were their efforts to
become public, an aide said.
Indeed, the loudest voices from House
Republicans decry any efforts aimed at
the legal status issue.
Weve been down this road before
with politicians promising to enforce the
law in return for amnesty. ... The
American people should not be fooled,
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said this
week after Obama and a bipartisan
Senate group released proposals promis-
ing stronger border controls, a path to
citizenship for illegal immigrants,
smoother legal immigration and tougher
enforcement against employers hiring
illegal immigrants.
For many House Republicans, sup-
porting immigration legislation that
gives a pathway to citizenship carries
substantial political risks, since its a
position that would have to be defended
to conservative voters come election
time. But polls show Americans increas-
ingly supportive of the approach at the
same time many GOP leaders believe
that the party should confront the immi-
gration issue or risk continued losses in
national elections. Obama won an over-
whelming majority of Latino and Asian
voters in November, which helped seal
his victory.
The immigration issue, its time to
deal with it. I said it the day after the
election, I meant it. Were going to have
to deal with it, House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, said last week while
answering audience questions after a
speech at the Ripon Society, a
Republican public policy organization in
Washington.
Boehner went on to mention the bipar-
tisan working group, which until then
was little known, adding he hadnt seen
details. My theory was if these folks
could work this out, it would be a big
step in the right direction, so I would
think youre likely to hear a lot more on
immigration reform on the House side
soon, he said.
Democratic group members are Reps.
Luis Gutierrez of Illinois and Zoe
Lofgren and Xavier Becerra of
California. The Republicans are Diaz-
Balart and Sam Johnson and John Carter
of Texas.
I am optimistic that there are new
voices in the Republican Party that want
to get this done in the House of
Representatives, Gutierrez said.
Other lawmakers have also been in
touch with group members, including
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has
embraced proposals put forth by Sen.
Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to offer a pathway
to citizenship for illegal immigrants con-
tingent on enacting strict border controls
rst.
I personally believe we should have
done this a long time ago. I really do
believe its doable this year, Ryan said
in an interview this week with the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial
board.
Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, said he
was working to nd a way to deal with
illegal immigrants already in the country
that would be acceptable to a majority of
Republicans, such as allowing them a
legal worker status without a special
pathway to citizenship. In the House
youre going to have a hard time nding
Republicans who can support a pathway
to citizenship, Labrador said.
Ahead of the release of their bill, the
group members are still trying to keep
their efforts quiet and several declined to
discuss their efforts or membership in
detail. Aides said House Democratic
leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has been
supportive, but regardless of what the
group proposes, Boehner is not expected
take any steps on immigration until leg-
islation passes the Senate.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a member of
the Senate negotiating group on immi-
gration who was a House member until
his election in November, said hes been
in touch with former colleagues in the
House on the issue.
There are some who arent wild
about doing any of this, but even those
that arent wild about it are ready to see
this in the rearview mirror, he said.
REFORM
According to the National Institutes of
Health, a rare cancer is one with a
prevalence of fewer than 200,000 affect-
ed individuals in the United States. Rare
cancers include brain, pancreatic, cervi-
cal, sarcoma, stomach, pediatric cancers
and many others.
With the support from Cycle for
Survival, we are making real progress in
rare cancer research, said Dr. Gary
Schwartz, chief of the Melanoma and
Sarcoma Service at Memorial Sloan-
Kettering. This past year at the Annual
Society of Clinical Oncology Meeting,
Memorial Sloan-Kettering presented
positive results from three studies par-
tially funded by Cycle for Survival, and
we are advancing these and multiple
other studies on rare cancers into the
next phases of clinical discovery.
What they (the Linns) really did was
bring to the common persons attention
how frequent someone has a rare can-
cer, Zwiebach said.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cycle for
Survival events will be held at Equinox
locations nationwide. According to
Zwiebach, teams may register up to
eight riders per bike.
Its a different kind of event,
Zwiebach said, because you dont have
to train for it.
David Dobrow, a spin instructor at
Equinox in San Mateo and Palo Alto,
will teach the day of the event. Dobrow
has lost multiple family members to can-
cer.
Im on a mission to see if we can
raise enough money to nd a cure one
day, he said. So nobody else has to go
through what I go through.
Dobrow will captain four bikes this
weekend, two in the morning session
and two in the afternoon. To date, his
team has raised $15,000.
The day itself is very emotionally
charged. Youve got not just 100 or 200
people riding at one hour but you have
all the other people watching or passing.
So at one time you have 300 or 400 peo-
ple in the room.
Every year, it nearly doubles in size
and dollars raised, and we can only hope
that will continue. Cycle for Survival has
ignited a spirit of hope and action among
the rare cancer community to join the
ght to nd a cure through research led
by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center along with founding partner,
Equinox. This is particularly true in San
Francisco where two years ago the event
didnt exist, and now its one of the lead-
ing sites nationwide, said Courtney
Caccia, Cycle for Survival (San
Francisco) participant.
Jennifer Goodman Linn died in 2011
but her memory lives on through Cycle
for Survival and all those participating to
nd a cure for rare cancers.
Whether or not cancer has touched
you, doing something like this, sweat
and tears with all these people you dont
know in this tiny space all at the same
time is totally motivating and I just think
its a great experience, Zwiebach said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Margaret Jeanne Remirez
Case Number 122743
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Margaret Jeanne Remir-
ez. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by Rita Herman in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Rita
Herman be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to the
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
203 Public Notices
this court as follows: March 04, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
