Toddler critical
after ingesting pot resin
STOCKTON — Authorities say a 2-
year-old Stockton girl is in critical con-
dition after ingesting marijuana resin,
and her father and another man have
been arrested on suspicion of child
endangerment.
The San Joaquin County sheriff’s
office says the father, Alfonso Correa,
and Juan Zambrano, both 20 years old,
were taken into custody around 3:30
a.m. Wednesday, nearly seven hours
after emergency medical technicians
found the girl lethargic and suffering
from seizures.
The Record of Stockton reports that
the child also had THC, the active chem-
ical in marijuana, in her system.
Officials say four adults were present
in the home, but none of them was
supervising the child when she found a
jar lid containing marijuana resin.
The girl was airlifted to an Oakland
hospital, where she remained
Wednesday afternoon.
Fawcett’s longtime companion Ryan
O’Neal presented the swimsuit and other
items to the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of American History in
Washington. O’Neal said Fawcett, who
died in 2009 after battling anal cancer
for several years, always intended to
give the suit to the museum.
“They asked her years ago for the
bathing suit,” he said. “So it was always
in her plan.”
Fawcett wore the bathing suit for a
photo shoot shortly before her debut on
Charlie’s Angels in 1976. The resulting
poster sold millions of copies and
became the best selling poster of all
time, according to Smithsonian curator
Dwight Bowers. Bowers compared the
poster to World War II pinups of Betty
Grable and Rita Hayworth, saying it
became a symbol of the 1970s era.
Though fans know the bathing suit as
red, it is actually a burnt orange color,
possibly due to fading. Before it was
donated to the museum, Fawcett framed
it herself, and it was stored at a Los
Angeles warehouse, O’Neal said.

M-A lights move forward
Later start time at Carlmont requires more study
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Permanent lights should be at the Menlo-
Atherton football field this fall after the
Sequoia Union High School District board
approved an environmental impact report
Wednesday.
The Sequoia Union High School District
Board of Trustees approved a study on the
impacts of installing permanent lights and
received no public comments during the 20-
day period nor at Wednesday’s meeting. As a
result, the board approved a negative decla-
ration for the project allowing it to move for-
ward.
The district expects to have the permanent
lights ready for the next school year.
Lighting the football field has required
lots of input. Five temporary light towers
were installed at M-A football field in
September for use during the current school
year while the Sequoia Union High School

Feds to Oakland: Pot farms would break U.S.law
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The top federal
prosecutor in Northern California has
warned Oakland officials that large-scale
marijuana farms licensed by the city would
violate U.S. law and could lead to a crack-
down on growers and their backers.
The warning in a letter from U.S. Attorney
Melinda Haag offered the first clear signal
that the Justice Department would not toler-
ate even city-sanctioned growing operations,
despite the Obama administration’s hands-
off approach to states that have legalized
medical marijuana.
“The department is concerned about the

placing permanent lights at the location.
Banded together under the moniker Protect
Atherton’s Residential Character, a number
of residents sued the district in hopes of bar-
ring lights from being used. The group won
an injunction, issued in early October days
before M-A’s homecoming. In November,
the two sides reached an agreement outlin-
ing the use of field lights — both temporary
and permanent — for the next five years.
After that, the district is free to change the
usage rules during a public hearing and after
a full environmental impact report has been
completed.
At the same meeting, the board heard pro-
posals to move back the start time at
Carlmont and Sequoia high schools.
Last year, the district voted to change the
school start times to no earlier than 8:30
a.m. to encourage more sleep for teenage
students. Sequoia and Carlmont high
schools, which had not been studying the
change before, were given this year to work
Oakland ordinance’s creation of a licensing
scheme that permits large-scale industrial
marijuana cultivation and manufacturing as it
authorizes conduct contrary to federal law,”
Haag wrote in the letter to Oakland City
Attorney John Russo dated Tuesday.
Russo spokesman Alex Katz declined to
comment on Haag’s letter but said Russo was
planning to draft amendments to Oakland’s
medical marijuana regulations to address
cultivation issues. Those would likely be
brought before the council in the next few
weeks, he said.
The Oakland City Council had asked
Russo to seek guidance from federal author-
ities, even as the council in December put the
with students, parents and staff to create a
transition plan and new bell schedule.
While Carlmont Principal Raul Zamora
submitted a plan meeting the new rule —
with classes starting at 8:56 a.m. and oppor-
tunities for two earlier periods — the school
community has numerous concerns about
traffic, transportation and impacts to special
education. The district will study the finan-
cial effects of a later start time and meeting
transportation needs. Additional information
on these needs will be presented at a future
meeting.
Things at Sequoia High School are less
difficult. Under the proposal, students at
Sequoia would start school at 8:30 a.m. and
be released at 3:40 p.m. daily.
Currently, classes at both Carlmont and
Sequoia start at 8 a.m. Under the new rule,
schools would start at 8:30 a.m. beginning
next fall with a limited number of sections
beginning before that time for students tak-
ing a seventh period.

hold following a warning from the Alameda
County district attorney that the city’s ordi-
nance also likely violated state law.
In July, Oakland became the first city in
the country to authorize the licensing of
marijuana cultivation operations. Until
Haag’s letter, federal law enforcement offi-
cials had kept quiet about what might hap-
pen if the city actually went through with its
plan.
Haag’s letter acknowledges an October
2009 Justice Department memo instructing
federal prosecutors to avoid going after
patients complying with state laws regarding
the medical use of marijuana.

August attempted murder trial for teen
A 17-year-old boy accused of stabbing two girls in the
chest after they accused him and his friends of stealing a cell
phone will stand trial this summer on attempted murder and
assault charges.
Horacio Gonzalez pleaded not guilty to all charges and is
set for trial Aug. 22. He remains in custody without bail.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, one of the girls
believed either Gonzalez or his friend had taken a phone
from her purse when they were hanging out at Silver Terrace
Park in San Francisco. The group knows one another from
high school. Later that same day, Sept. 24, they encountered
each other again at the McDonald’s on Geneva Avenue in
Daly City. An argument ensued between Gonzalez and his
accuser before he allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed her
twice and another girl once.
When Gonzalez was arrested a short time later, police say
he threatened the third girl in front of them as she identified
him as the attacker.
Gonzalez told authorities he stabbed the girls out of anger
after being punched, according to the District Attorney’s
Office.
Jail for smash-and-grab burglary
One of two men who robbed several Peninsula stores by
smashing windows and grabbing cash registers — and later
redeemed stolen lottery tickets taken in one heist — is free
from custody after being sentenced to a year in jail but
received credit for time served.
Danny Allan Hamilton, 25, must also serve three years on
supervised probation and pay restitution to the businesses. In
December, he pleaded no contest to five counts of second-
degree burglary in return for no more than two years prison.
Shawn Joseph Riley, 25, took the same deal on four different
counts and will be sentenced Feb. 23.
The pair were arrested in June while robbing a San Carlos
dry cleaning business. Authorities linked them to a burglary
in San Mateo that same night, and “smash and grab” thefts of
cash registers in Daly City, San Bruno and Pacifica on June
21 and June 22. The San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office said Hamilton was then fingered for an April 15 theft
in Burlingame in which four rolls of lottery tickets were pil-
fered from a liquor store. Hamilton scratched off the tickets
and redeemed the winners at three different locations.

Census estimates show big gains for U.S.minorities
By Hope Yen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Racial and ethnic
minorities accounted for roughly 85 percent of
the nation’s population growth over the last
decade — one of the largest shares ever —
with Hispanics accounting for much of the
gain in many of the states picking up new
House seats.
Preliminary census estimates also suggest
the number of multiracial Americans jumped
roughly 20 percent since 2000, to over 5 mil-
lion.
The findings, based on fresh government
survey data, offer a glimpse into 2010 census
results that are being released on a state-by-
state basis beginning this week. New Jersey,
Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana were the
first to receive the census redistricting data,
which will be used in the often contentious
process of redrawing political districts based
on population and racial makeup.
The state numbers released Thursday

SAN FRANCISCO — The
California Highway Patrol says all
lanes on the lower deck of the San

House GOP moves to slash programs
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans
now controlling the House prom-
ised Thursday to slash domestic
agencies’ budgets by almost 20 per-
cent for the coming year, the first
salvo in what’s sure to be a bruising
battle over their drive to cut spend-
ing to where it was before President
Barack Obama took office.
“Washington’s spending spree is
over,” declared Paul Ryan, the
House Budget Committee chairman
who announced the plan. “The
spending limits will restore sanity to
a broken budget process,” he said,
returning “to pre-stimulus, pre-
bailout levels.”
Republicans won’t get everything
they want. Democrats are in charge
of the White House and the Senate,
and even House Republicans may
have second thoughts when the
magnitude of the cuts sinks in.

Police say Bellagio bandit returned after heist

LAS VEGAS — The bankrupt
son of a Las Vegas judge followed a
crude holdup at a posh casino by
racking up hundreds of thousands of
dollars in gambling losses and
spending a week like a high roller,
but got caught after trying to hawk
his stolen chips online to poker
players, police said Thursday.
LOCAL/NATION
In Republicans’ plan
• The Department of
Homeland Security would face
a budget freeze instead of the
3 percent increase proposed
by Obama.
• Rapidly growing spending on
veterans’health care appears
likely to be largely untouched.
• Republicans would scale back
Obama’s proposed 4 percent,
$23 billion increase for the
Pentagon.Instead,the military
housing, reduce services in national
parks and mean less aid to schools
and police and fire departments.
House Republicans are seeking to
keep their campaign promise to cut
$100 billion from domestic pro-
grams. The initial cuts would win
approval over the coming weeks as
Congress wraps up the long-over-
due 2011 budget. The second stage
would come as the House GOP
advances a fresh round of spending
bills for the 2012 budget year,
which begins Oct. 1.

• Popular programs such as
health research and federal aid

include the Food and Drug

Revenue Service and the depart-

even greater cuts, and they’ll be
given the chance to impose them in
a freewheeling floor debate sched-
uled for the week of Feb. 14.
Republicans made a campaign
promise to cut $100 billion from
Obama’s request for domestic agen-
cies such as the Department of
Education, for the budget year that
began last October. But that year is
under way, and they’re so far falling
short, just $58 billion under the plan
released Thursday. They promise to
try to fully impose the dramatic cuts
during what is sure to be a con-
tentious debate.
The $100 billion in reductions
was an inflated promise because it
was measured against Obama’s
budget request for this year. The
actual savings would be less
because Obama’s budget increases
weren’t approved, and the govern-
ment is operating at 2010 levels.
Instead, the savings from domestic
programs in making the switch from
2010 to 2008 — if carried out over
a full year — would be about $86
billion, imposing cuts on domestic
agencies of 19 percent on average.

Steiber said.
He said police were still looking
for the black motorcycle they say
Carleo used to make his pre-dawn
getaway. Steiber wouldn’t say
whether police still believe the same
man robbed the Suncoast casino in
northwest Las Vegas at gunpoint
early Dec. 8, although police previ-
ously said the same person was sus-
pected in both heists.

Obama’s new plan
President sharpens jobs element of energy pitch
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. —
President Barack Obama, turning
briefly to his eclipsed domestic
agenda, sharpened his sales pitch
for clean energy technology
Thursday by promising that the pay-
off would be a wave of jobs — the
kind good enough to support fami-
lies and long-term American pros-
perity.
In a quick trip to Pennsylvania, a
politically critical state, Obama pro-
posed a tax credit and other ideas
aimed at getting businesses to retro-
fit their buildings and save costs. He
acknowledged that as presidential
ideas go, making commercial build-
ings more energy efficient “may not
sound too sexy,” but he said the
commitment to such research could
save billions in utility bills and cre-
ate jobs of true “national purpose.”
“Making our buildings more ener-
gy efficient is one of the fastest, eas-
iest and cheapest ways to save
money, combat pollution and create
jobs,” Obama told a supportive
crowd of invited guests, many of
them students, at Pennsylvania State
University. The president chose
Penn State largely because of its
lead role in a research hub, under
way in Philadelphia, that centers on
energy-efficient technology.
Barack Obama gives a speech on energy efficiency and technology
during his visit to Pennsylvania State University.
Obama’s broader aim is to build
public and congressional support for
the long-term economic ideas he
outlined in his State of the Union
address last week. The agenda of
that speech, though, has since been
vastly overshadowed by the political
upheaval and violence in Egypt.
At Penn State, the president
sought to underline how committing
to energy could create jobs — the
top concern across the country.
Referring to the emerging energy
research center at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, Obama said: “The dis-
coveries made on this campus will
lead to even more jobs — jobs in

engineering, jobs in manufacturing,
jobs in construction, jobs in insula-
tion, jobs in retail. They’ll be jobs
with a national purpose — jobs that
make our economy smarter, jobs
that make our planet safer, jobs that
maintain America’s competitive
edge.”
The innovation hub is getting a
big help from taxpayers: $129 mil-
lion in federal money over five
years. As part of his new plan,
Obama will ask Congress to provide
companies with a tax credit that
financially rewards them for retro-
fitting their buildings in ways that
decrease energy usage.
Few fingers pointed at Mayor

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — In a city known for
punishing mayors for their handling
of snowstorms, Mayor Richard
Daley was careful not to step in
front of the cameras until the main
streets were clear.
When he finally did Thursday, the
mayor swiftly brushed aside any
criticism of the city’s response to the
monstrous blizzard that created a
startling spectacle: hundreds of
motorists stranded overnight on the
city’s marquee thoroughfare.
So far, few fingers were pointed at

chills that plunged nearly to minus

The system dumped more than 20
inches of snow on Chicago, making
it the third-largest winter storm in
the city’s history.
Pressed about whether workers
did their best, Daley responded,
“Yes, they did. ... They did a very,
very good job.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Menacing gangs back-
ing President Hosni Mubarak
attacked journalists and human
rights activists Thursday in an ugly
turn in Egypt’s crisis as government
opponents pushed supporters out of
Cairo’s main square in a second day
of battles. Organizers called for pro-
testers trying to topple the regime to
fill every square in the huge capital
on Friday.
The new vice president, widely
considered the first successor
Mubarak has ever designated, fueled
anti-foreign sentiment by going on
state television and blaming out-
siders for fomenting unrest. The gov-
ernment has accused media outlets
of being sympathetic to protesters
who want the president to quit now
rather than serve out his term, as he
has vowed to do.
Mubarak, 82, told ABC television
in an interview that he was fed up
and wants to resign. But he said he
can’t for fear the country would sink
into chaos. He said he was very
unhappy about the two days of clash-
es in central Tahrir Square.
“I do not want to see Egyptians
fighting each other,” he was quoted
as saying.
The violence that had been con-
centrated in Tahrir spread around the
city of 18 million, with a new wave
of arson and looting.

“When there are demonstrations of
this size, there will be foreigners
who come and take advantage and
they have an agenda to raise the ener-
gy of the protesters,” Vice President
Omar Suleiman said on state televi-
sion.
Pro-government mobs beat for-
eign journalists with sticks and fists
Thursday. The Committee to Protect
Journalists said 24 reporters were
detained in 24 hours, including rep-
resentatives of The Washington Post
and The New York Times, on the
streets outside Tahrir Square.
Twenty-one journalists were
assaulted, including two with Fox
News.
One Greek journalist was stabbed
in the leg with a screwdriver, and a
photographer was punched in the
face, his equipment smashed. The
Arabic news network Al-Arabiya
pleaded for the army to protect its
offices and journalists, and Al-
Jazeera said four of its correspon-
dents were attacked. The BBC’s for-
eign editor said security forces had
seized the network’s equipment in a
hotel to stop it broadcasting.
White House spokesman Robert
Gibbs denounced reports of “system-
atic targeting” of journalists and the
State Department described it as a
“concerted campaign to intimidate.”
I won’t sell my soul to eat,” he said.
On Wednesday, supporters of
President Hosni Mubarak con-

Cairo, fighting deadly battles with

Proving Dimitre’s point
Editor,
The poll favoring President Obama against
Sarah Palin in 2012 by a margin of 56 per-
cent-30 percent made me wonder who the 30
percent could be. How could anyone think
she has any qualifications as president, edu-
cationally and intellectually challenged as
she keeps proving she is. How could anyone
think she has anything to offer against
Obama, besides good teeth and lipstick?
David Waldo’s rant against Dorothy
Dimitre (“Put Dimitre out to pasture” in the
Jan. 15 issue of the Daily Journal) explained
it.
With her wit, intellect and popularity,
Dorothy Dimitre needs no defense. Nor does
President Obama after the most productive
first two-year period in decades, despite com-
pact resistance from the Republicans.
However, it seems like many people need a
reminder of all George Bush did in his two
terms. Sept. 11, predictable and preventable,
happened on his watch, despite warnings.
The attacks could have been avoided, with
thousands of lives and the World Trade
Center saved, had Bush not been elected. The
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would not have
taken place. Instead of lives wasted and
countries left in ruins, our economy and the
world’s respect for us would have been bet-
ter and in line with what President Clinton
handed Bush.
We would have been ahead in science,
research, medical advances, education and
badly needed regulations. Sadam Hussein
would still be in power; however, he would
have kept al-Qaida out of Iraq and his arch
rival Iran in check, without our involvement.
Sarah Palin would still have been an
unknown Alaskan and not in our face 24/7.
And we wouldn’t have had John Roberts
and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court,
which instead would have had a Democratic
majority, more respectful of the Constitution
and oriented toward our common good,
instead of slanted towards big money inter-
ests.
The one good thing about Waldo’s letter is
that he proved Dorothy Dimitre’s point.

As for guns...
Editor,
The right to bare arms debate continues to
go on. Especially in light of the shooting that
took place in Tucson, Ariz. with U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords.
The right to bear arms as stated in the
Second Amendment to the Constitution had a
relevant reason when the United States had
needed arms to free itself from the oppres-
sive British government. The times also
reflected an age of conquest and colonization
by competing European powers such as the
Spanish, the Dutch, the Portuguese, etc.
Therefore, the realistic threat of a foreign

Ruffling the NRA’s feathers
Editor,
The recent tragedy in Tucson, Ariz.
reminds all once more how easy it was for
that killer to possess a deadly weapon and
use it to kill and injure innocent people.
Although our forefathers inserted into the
Second Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States which allows citizens to
bear arms, they never intended for said arms
to be turned upon one another with deadly
results.
For years, the powerful National Rifle
Association has played a major role in
defeating attempts by Congress to pass
tougher gun control laws, always citing that
amendment as being the reason for its oppo-
sition.
Nearly all law enforcement officers — fed-
eral, state, county and city — strongly sup-
port such legislation and argue that the law
should require all gun buyers to provide con-
crete proof that the weapons would only be
used to provide safety for self and family
members.
Such a law would keep unnecessary
weapons out of circulation and lead to fewer
gun-related crimes. It might ruffle the feath-
ers of the NRA, but only because it would
mean they finally lost a gun-control battle.

Someone needs to straighten Bill Bleich
out. In his Jan. 25 letter “Stop blaming pub-
lic employees,” Bleich thinks that the
American public blames him and his fellow
public employees for the economical collapse
of our country along with nearly half of the
other countries in the world. Mr. Bleich, let
me assure you that the American public/tax-
payers don’t blame public employees for this
whole mess. We all know who and what
caused the disaster.
However, we, the American public/taxpay-
ers need you and your fellow public employ-
ees to know that, just like the private sector,
the public sector is going to be affected by
the resulting economic downturn. You need
to remember some basic facts. The American
taxpayer pays your salary and benefits. If that
source of income (taxes) is reduced, then
public employees will have to suffer just like

Bleich needs to lose his “entitlement” atti-

to do what’s best in the public’s interest. If
that means pay cuts, furlough days, cuts in
hours, wages or benefits or even layoffs, then
that’s what has to happen.

benefits and big expense accounts are what
the American taxpayers see as excessive and
irresponsible government spending. With tax-

What was left out?
Editor,
As I read Keith Kreitman’s Jan. 23 column
“A decision in infamy,” I couldn’t help but
think of him as a very good cherry picker
indeed.
Let’s see what Keith left out of his column.
How about government employees unions,
like the National Education Association? The
N.E.A. is the largest union in the United
States, and they are like ticks on a dog suck-
ing blood when it comes to union dues. The
money from those dues goes to Democratic
causes, including influencing our elections.
Maybe a little money from corporations will
balance things out a little.
How about some memory help as well?
Reaganomics did not fail. Remember “No
new taxes?” George H.W. Bush raised taxes
$500 billion for five years in 1990. Now how
about part two: Bill Clinton. “I did not have
sex with that woman, Monica somebody.”
Who cares? He raised taxes $500 billion for
five more years in 1993. You don’t remember
Congress jumping on their feet and clapping
when that one passed.
A trillion dollars were sucked right out of
the economy, just like that. So you see,
Reaganomics did not fail — the government
took the money.
Only liberals refer to the U.S. Constitution
as a “living document.” When you have a lib-
eral, it simply means no rules.

Doing the
right thing
I
t was a simple act, but one that deserves
recognition. Robert Bernardo, newly
elected member of the San Mateo
County Harbor District Commission, walked
into the offices of CORA, Community
Overcoming Relationship Abuse, and asked if
he could donate $500.
At first, CORA
Executive
Director Melissa
Lukin was sur-
prised at the offer
but pleased
Bernardo was
offering it without
any strings
attached.
“He was just
very genuine. He
said he just want-
ed to do the right
thing,” she said.
Doing the right
thing. How
refreshing.
Bernardo, a South San Francisco resident
who was a planning commissioner when he
won a seat on the Harbor District Board in
November, works for the Port of Oakland in the
communications department. His new position
is his first as an elected official. As a member of
the Harbor District Board of Commissioners, he
receives a monthly stipend of $500.
It’s not much, and it hardly covers the
expenses commissioners incur in their duties.
Bernardo said he plans on donating his
monthly stipend to a different local nonprofit
organization each month. He told CORA offi-
cials that giving away this money, derived
from tax dollars, was his way of getting some
money back where it belongs — to those who
are struggling.
CORA is not unique in its need. Many non-
profits that provide critical and basic services
are struggling. And the people who work and
volunteer for them are drawing from their own
financial and spiritual reserves to ensure the
social safety net is not left in tatters. These are
the unsung heroes who deserve support and
are worthy of praise.
In making his donation, Bernardo was not
seeking any praise or attention. At first, he was
apprehensive about having his donation men-
tioned, but changed his mind after thinking it
could spur other elected officials to do the
same.
“I am not trying to garner recognition or be
perceived as some ‘hero,’ because I am not. All
I really want is to encourage others (elected or
not) to donate to San Mateo County nonprofit
organizations like CORA,” he said in a letter to
the nonprofit.
CORA could definitely use the money.
Impinged by state budget cuts and a reduction
of donations, the county nonprofit that pro-
vides shelter and other services for victims of
domestic violence has had to drastically down-
size its operation for the past two years just to
keep its doors open. Last year, CORA fielded
5,081calls on its 24-hour crisis hotline — a 12
percent increase from the year before — and
served 3,307 victims referred by law enforce-
ment — a 42 percent increase in 911 call
referrals from the year before. It housed over
200 individuals in its emergency shelter and
our transitional housing, assisted over 500 sur-
vivors of domestic violence with legal issues
and provided nearly 4,000 individual counsel-
ing and support group sessions.
Nearly two-thirds of its annual budget of
approximately $3.2 million is made up of
state, county and local government funding
and is largely unstable because of the econo-
my. The rest of the budget is made up of dona-
tions, which are also down because of the
economy.
Unfortunately, the state’s unemployment rate
is hitting record levels and CORA contends
financial stress may fuel an increase in vio-
lence in turbulent relationships or ignite vio-
lence in others for the first time.
Simply put, when the need is up, the money
is down. And every little bit helps.
Even $500.

Stocks push higher
By Chip Cutter
and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks posted small
gains Thursday after Federal Reserve
chairman Ben Bernanke said the central
bank will stick to its efforts to spur the
economy.
In a speech at the National Press
Club, Bernanke said that the Fed
expects the economy to improve this
year and inflation to remain low despite
the jump in commodity prices.
“Chairman Bernanke basically indi-
cated in his speech that he considers
unemployment to be the bigger problem
than inflation and that the Fed will con-
tinue to focus on that,” said Doug
Roberts, chief market strategist at
Channel Capital Research.
The Federal Reserve is on track to
buy $600 billion in bonds, a tactic
known as quantitative easing, aimed at
spurring lending and making stock
ownership more attractive. Some econ-
omists had worried that the Fed could
end its bond purchases earlier than
anticipated.
Stocks had fallen for the most of the
day as concerns over violent protests in
Egypt weighed against better-than-
expected economic news in the U.S.

Verizon iPhone comes,but should you buy?
Review of
Verizon iPhone
WHAT IT IS: The Verizon Wireless version
of Apple Inc.’s iPhone will go on sale next
week.It will cost $200 or $300 (depending
on how much memory is included) with a
two-year Verizon contract.
THE DIFFERENCES: On the surface,the
Verizon iPhone is nearly identical to the
AT&T Inc.version of the iPhone.
A major difference will probably be
network performance — AT&T’s network
tends to be congested in some cities,
while Verizon has wider broadband data
coverage in rural areas.But where not
clogged,AT&T’s network can be faster
than Verizon’s in some places.
ONE MORE THING: Apple is likely to
release a new iPhone model this summer,
though it’s not clear if this would arrive at
Verizon stores immediately.For some,this
may make it even trickier to decide
whether or not to pick up Verizon’s iPhone
now.
Jobs report forecast
to show modest gains
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Economic growth
is gaining momentum, with factories busy
and service firms expanding, but one crit-
ical area still lags: job creation.
The Labor Department will issue its
January jobs report Friday, and econo-
mists forecast that it will show only mod-
est hiring. Employers are expected to add
a net total of 146,000 new jobs. That’s
barely enough to keep up with population
growth. The unemployment rate is likely
to tick up to 9.5 percent from 9.4 percent
in December.
Some analysts are more optimistic and
think the job gains could be larger, after
several positive economic reports were
released Thursday. The service sector,
which employs nearly 90 percent of the
work force, expanded at the fastest pace in
five years last month, retail sales
increased, and factory orders grew in
December.
“Activity across the broader economy is
Wall Street
tors, leaving some analysts worried
about the stability of the Middle East
and the unrest’s impact on oil-rich
countries throughout the region, such as
Saudi Arabia.
“That’s the fear,” said Peter Cardillo,
chief market economist at Avalon
Partners.
But better-than-expected January
sales figures sent shares in retail com-
panies higher. Consumer-discretionary
companies in the Standard and Poor’s
500-stock index gained 1.2 percent
after national chains reported that sales
were nearly double what analysts had
forecast despite heavy snowstorms in
much of the nation.
Shares in the consumer-discretionary
companies were the best performers
among the 10 company groups that
make up the S&P index. Industrials
companies were the only group to fall.
Costco Wholesale Corp., Nordstrom
Inc. and Gap Inc. all gained more than
4 percent.
The S&P 500 — the benchmark for
most U.S. mutual funds — gained 3.07
points, or 0.2 percent, to close at
1,307.10. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 20.29 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 12,062.26. The Nasdaq com-
posite rose 4.32 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 2,753.88.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Ever since
Apple’s iPhone went on sale in 2007,
Verizon Wireless customers have held out
hope that, one day, AT&T’s grip as its
exclusive U.S. distributor would be bro-
ken.
That day arrives next week, when
Verizon’s iPhone goes on sale. Verizon is
accepting preorders from existing cus-
tomers beginning Thursday.
It’s the same phone as AT&T sells, with
a few small tweaks. The price is the same:
$200 or $300, depending on how much
memory you want. Verizon wants your
signature on a two-year contract, just like
AT&T.
But even if it’s the same phone, Verizon
does things differently from AT&T, so
there are some important factors to con-
sider if you’re thinking about getting one.
picking up,” said Neil Dutta, an economist
at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
“Momentum is improving.”
The harsh winter weather, however, is a
wild card and may temper January’s
employment gains. Heavy snows caused
some companies, particularly those in
construction but also in manufacturing, to
suspend work. That likely resulted in tem-
porary layoffs.
Even broad economic growth may not
mean a sharp increase in new jobs any-
time soon.
Dutta, for example, points out that com-
panies are spending much more on new
computers, machines and other equipment
than on hiring. That trend is likely to con-
tinue this year, he said, making it harder to
bring down the jobless rate.
It takes about 125,000 new jobs a
month just to keep up with population
growth. The economy needs to add more
than double that amount to make a signif-
icant dent in the unemployment rate. In
the past three months, job gains have aver-
aged only 128,000.

Intersil Corp.,down $2.12 at $12.86
The chip maker’s forecast disappointed
investors, and an analyst doubted the
company’s ability to cut its operating expenses.
The big difference is likely to be net-
work performance. AT&T’s network is
notoriously congested in some cities,
including San Francisco, where for a
week I tested both phones side by side.
Out in the country, Verizon has much
wider coverage for broadband wireless
data.
The Verizon model was generally
speedier at loading maps, websites and
videos. For example, I was already done
watching a YouTube clip of an adorable
sneezing baby panda on Verizon’s phone
when AT&T’s finally gave up on loading
the video. At times, I couldn’t make a call
on the AT&T iPhone but could easily do
so on the Verizon one.
So Verizon was faster for me, but the
situation could be the opposite in many
places across the country. Where AT&T’s
network isn’t congested, it’s actually
faster than Verizon’s, at least where
AT&T has made recent upgrades.

Cañada baseball has a lot of holes to fill

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The tilde on top of the “N” in
Cañada in many ways should be
question mark when speaking about
the Colts baseball team.
In 2010, Cañada roared through
their schedule, going 30-5 and tak-
ing a No. 1 NorCal ranking into the
playoffs.
Things are a little different this
year for manager Tony Lucca’s
boys.
“We’ve had to replace quite a few

Harrison:NFL’s
angriest man
J
ames Harrison needs protection.
From himself. It sounds strange to say
that about one of the most feared, and
by far the most-fined player in the NFL this
season, someone who calls himself the
“poster guy” for the league’s campaign to
stop the kind of vicious hits that harm oth-
ers.
Yet Harrison seems unconcerned with the
possible damage he’s doing to himself in the
short and long term. Either way, he’s con-
vinced himself it’s well worth it.
“I’m willing to go through hell in gasoline
drawers,” Pittsburgh’s All-Pro linebacker
said Wednesday, “so that my kids don’t have
to.”
Harrison may some-
day get the chance.

South City takes crown

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The center of the Peninsula Athletic League
wrestling world has centered on South San
Francisco the last several years as both El
Camino and South City high schools have
been the teams to beat.
El Camino won back-to-back PAL tourna-
ment championships in 2008 and 2009, while
South City won both the PAL regular season
and tournament championships last season.
Thursday night, South City hosted El
Camino in the final dual meet of the season.
As if there needs to be any more drama when
the two rivals meet, the match was amped up
even higher with the winner claiming the PAL
dual meet title.
By the time El Camino’s Trevor Kelly won
his heavyweight match with a pin, it was clear
which team was dominant: South City. The
Warriors won nine of the 14 matches contest-
ed, coming up with six pins in the process as
they won their second straight PAL dual-meet
title by a final score of 45-26.
Considering how banged up the Warriors
were, coach Steve Matteucci could not have
been more proud of his squad.
“This is a special group. Best group I’ve
ever been around,” Matteucci said. “I’ve been
doing this a long time. … This is the most
important, meaningful win (of all).”
Both teams came into the match with 4-0
Bay Division records and the squads were so
evenly matched Matteucci believed both
teams would win seven matches each. How
those matches finished — whether by deci-
sion or pin — would decide the victor.
It’s important because a wrestler who wins
by decision gets three points, while a pin is
worth six. In fact, very seldom is there a sport
where an athlete can lose, but still be a bene-
fit to the team.
See WRESTLE, Page 14
hitting would take by the time he turned 50,
this was his answer:
“My (linebackers) coach, Keith Butler,
who played 10 years in the league, he’s
close to around there and he’s doing fine.
He’s coaching us very, very well. Nothing’s
wrong with his head and he played when
you could do a lot worse than what we’re
doing right now.
“So I’m hoping,” he added, “I’m as
blessed and as fortunate as him, to be in the
same position that he is now — minus a
couple hips and shoulders that he got
replaced.”
Funny line.
But watching a former player wobble
around with all his wits is not research, just
like hoping is not a retirement plan.
Worse still, Harrison not only derided the

Bounce goes Bearcats’way
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Thursday’s girls soccer matchup between
the top two teams in the Peninsula Athletic
League’s Bay Division brought with it the
potential for some offensive fireworks as both
teams feature a deadly striker.
But San Mateo’s latest win, a 1-0 victory,
was brought to you by the letter D — as in
defense.
The Bearcats (8-1-1) took advantage of a
fortunate bounce, an own goal in the 20th
minute, and held Woodside’s Taylor Duffner
in check throughout the contest to come away
with the huge win over the visiting Wildcats
(6-3-1).
“Obviously, we would have liked to pass the
ball around a little more and control the
game,” said San Mateo head coach Daire
O’Connor. “But it just a direct game from
both sides. Our defense held up really well
and then, they just did the work. They condi-
tioned well, we kind of got numbers behind
them a little, just to frustrate Woodside and we
were kind of looking for that counterattack
goal. It was a good, evenly fought contest. The
work rate from the entire team was really
impressive.”
Impressive indeed. While San Mateo’s
Katelyn Turtletaub has (deservedly) captured
the majority of the headlines this season for
the front-running Bearcats, it’s been the rock-
solid defensive play of the back line that has
been the true star.
The fearsome foursome proved on
Thursday that there might not be a better
group in all of San Mateo County.
“The thing is, we just work so well togeth-
er,” said defender Danielle Coyle, who
anchored another superb effort for the
Bearcats back line. “We’ve been playing
together pretty much since freshman year, we
just gel.”
Coyle is the heart of the San Mateo defense,
but she’s not alone — Jennifer Ticzon was
excellent from the sweeper position and flank-
ing them on Thursday were Kim Lu and
Stephanie Lee. O’Connor also highlighted the
play of his goalkeeper, Karyn Jacobs.
“Our goalkeeper is having the season of her
lifetime — our back four is so comfortable
playing with a goalkeeper that good behind
us,” he said.
Ellis, Curry guide Warriors to win

OAKLAND — Monta Ellis and Stephen

Ellis hit a jumper with 17.3 seconds left to
put the Warriors up by four points. He scored

SPORTS
San Mateo’s Danielle Coyle,right,tackles the ball away from Woodside’s Taylor Duffner during
the Bearcats’1-0 victory.
Coyle knew coming in they would have
their hands full with Woodside’s Duffner.
“Our game plan was, just take a couple
steps back,” Coyle said about Duffner. “We
know she’s quick. She’s scored on us a couple
times before. It wasn’t just specifically for her,
it was just, play as a unit more, just contain.”
In fairness to the Wildcats, there wasn’t
much offense at any point during the game.
They do did a great job in containing the dan-
gerous Turtletaub. Emma Danz, Gianna
Rosati and crew deserve a lot of credit as well.
Unfortunately for Woodside, the mistake
that did them in came from one of their
defenders.
In the 20th minute, Ticzon launched a ball
from just beyond the centerline toward the
offensive zone. A Woodside defender had no
problem getting her head on it, but the ball
took a weird route and floated right into the
Wildcats net for the lone goal of the game.
“It was unlucky,” said Woodside head coach
Jose Navarette. “Although all together, the

Maggette hit a driving layup to pull the

the rebound and Golden State’s guards made
their free throws down the stretch to help the

bounce, but hey, we did not muster enough
like they were pushing,”
“It was a super exciting win,” O’Connor
said. “It’s an old cliché, you know, take it one
game at time and we really are just taking it
one game at a time. When you’re in first place,
people recognize us now. At first, I think they
thought we wouldn’t keep the pace and we
were a bit of fluke, but it’s tougher now to be
in first because every team is up for the game.
Hopefully we’ll be in first place come Feb.
17,” he said.
His top defender agrees.
“We’re excited,” Coyle said. “To win the
division, it would really mean everything to
us, it’s our goal for now. Coming out from the
lower level and everyone just throwing us to
the side and not expecting us to do well, it’s
been exciting for us. It’s not real right now.”
With the win, San Mateo is five points
ahead in the Bay division standings with four
games left on the league schedule.
Ilyasova hit a milestone, needing 12
rebounds to reach 1,000.
Milwaukee took a 73-72 lead into the final
quarter.
The lead changed hands 12 times in the sec-
ond quarter, including 11 of the final 13 made
baskets, with the Bucks taking a 47-46 edge
into the intermission.
There were no lead changes in the third

Reserve players
chosen for NBA
All-Star teams
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Blake Griffin is going to his
first All-Star game, and Kevin Garnett matched
an NBA record with his 14th straight selection as
one of a record-tying four Boston Celtics headed
for the midseason event.
Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will
accompany Garnett, who equaled Jerry West,
Shaquille O’Neal and Karl Malone for the most
consecutive selections. The Celtics joined the
2006 Detroit Pistons as the
only teams to have four
players picked as reserves
by the coaches.
Griffin, the Rookie of the
Year favorite of the
Clippers, will be playing on
his home floor in the Feb. 20
game at Staples Center.
Joining him on the Western
Blake Griffin Conference team were Tim
Duncan and Manu Ginobili
of the NBA-leading Spurs;
forwards Dirk Nowitzki of
Dallas and Pau Gasol of the
Lakers; and guards Deron
Williams of Utah and
Russell Westbrook of
Oklahoma City, who joins
Griffin as the lone first-time
selections.
Kevin Garnett Chris Bosh will go to Los
Angeles with Miami team-
mates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, who
were elected as starters. The other East reserves
picked Thursday were Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and
Al Horford.
The reserves were selected in voting by the
head coaches in each conference, who had to
vote for two forwards, two guards, a center and
two players regardless of position.
They went for the winning teams in the East,
whose reserves are represented by just three
teams.
The voting was much more difficult in the
West, where coaches bypassed the likes of Kevin
Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph and
Lamar Odom at the forward spot.
Tony Parker missed out despite being the sec-
ond-leading scorer on the Spurs, who entered
play Thursday with a 40-8 record. Veteran Steve
Nash of the Suns and the Warriors’ Monta Ellis,
the league’s sixth-leading scorer, all fell short.
The starters were chosen by fan voting and
announced last week. Orlando’s Dwight
Howard, Chicago’s Derrick Rose and Knicks
forward Amare Stoudemire are the other East
starters, while the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant, Hornets
guard Chris Paul, forwards Carmelo Anthony of
Denver and Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City, and
Houston center Yao Ming were the winners from
the West.
Yao is injured and Commissioner David Stern
will choose a replacement. That gives another
chance to Love, who is averaging 21.4 points and
a league-best 15.5 rebounds, and shooting 43.9
percent from 3-point range. He has 34 straight
double-doubles, but was undoubtedly hurt by his
Minnesota Timberwolves’ 11-37 record.

Steady Steelers stay
on four-decade plan
By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Instead of focusing on the eight
Super Bowl trips and six Lombardi trophies,
Steelers defensive line coach John Mitchell likes
to talk about these numbers: four and nine.
That’s four players he’s coached on the
Pittsburgh roster for nine or more seasons.
Mitchell’s veteran linemen — Casey Hampton,
Brett Keisel, Aaron Smith and Chris Hoke —
may not be the Steel Curtain of the 1970s, but
they speak to a larger truth. They were brought to
the team, given time to develop and never jetti-
soned when the going got tough. And through it
all, they were coached to play a single, specific,
hard-nosed style.
In short, that’s the “Steeler Way” — an unwa-
vering devotion to getting one kind of player and
playing one brand of football that has resulted in
one outcome more often than any other over the
past 40 years: The season ending with the Steelers
holding the Super Bowl trophy.
They play Green Bay on Sunday in search of
their seventh NFL championship.
“In the ’70s, when you had the Steel Curtain,
those guys were there for a long time,” Mitchell
said. “They had continuity with the scheme, the
coaches, the ownership, and you look at it, and it’s
those same reasons we’re playing very well today.
I don’t think there’s many teams in this league
that can say they’ve had four players with the
same assistant coach for nine years or more.
That’s the thing. Because the Rooneys, they don’t
panic.”
The Rooney family, of course, has owned the
Steelers since the beginning, back in 1933. They
do more than talk the talk about “family.” To build

cut out for them trying to get to those guys,” said
John Kuhn, a running back who broke into the
NFL taking handoffs from Roethlisberger, but
now plays behind Rodgers.
“When defenses get to them, it’s not over.
They’ve got to get them to the ground. Against
Atlanta, Aaron made like four or five guys miss
in the pocket on several different plays. He’s
phenomenal. He’s playing at a high level right
now. But with Ben, you can’t tackle him. He’s a
beast back there. I think people underestimate
how big and strong he actually is.”
Mobile quarterbacks were commonplace in
Super Bowls during the 1970s, the heyday of
Roger Staubach, Fran Tarkenton, Bob Griese
and a young Terry Bradshaw. But since the
1980s, it’s hard to find a single matchup that pits
a pair of guys who scoot around as well as these
two.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Rodgers ran for 23.8
yards per game this season, the most among all
quarterbacks other than Michael Vick. It’s
almost double Rodgers’ number for 2008, his
first season as a full-time starter.
That’s an interesting change because as quar-

a sense of togetherness, they like to eat with the
players in the team cafeteria. When it comes to
the big picture, they run an organization that loves
stability but isn’t fond of drama.
One of the most significant tests of the Rooney
resolve came when Ben Roethlisberger got in
trouble in the offseason, when police investigated
allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman at
a bar in Georgia. One of the quarterback’s loudest
critics during that time: the team president, Art
Rooney II. No charges were filed against the
quarterback. Roethlisberger ended up with a four-
game suspension from the NFL and a second
chance from the Steelers.
About the same time, though, the team said
goodbye to receiver Santonio Holmes, who
caught the winning pass in Pittsburgh’s last Super
Bowl, but whose trouble with drugs, legal prob-
lems and untoward Twitter messages became too
much for the team to stomach.
“The key to it is, we’ve always believed in hav-
ing good people,” Rooney said.
And for the most part, they have. While other
teams dominate headlines with contract holdouts,
loudmouth coaches and videotaping scandals,
about the most news the Steelers serve up on a
regular basis — from the Mean Joe Greene days
to the present time — is that they hit too hard.
The biggest flare-up of Super Bowl week so far
has been James Harrison’s decision to use the big
game as his platform to call out the NFL and
Commissioner Roger Goodell for cracking down
on violent hits, among other things. Harrison is
this season’s most-fined player. Perhaps, then, it’s
not surprising that he finished third in the recent
voting for Associated Press defensive player of
the year, while his teammate and fellow defender
Troy Polamalu won the award.
terbacks mature and get more comfortable, they
tend to understand the intricacies of the passing
game more and settle into the pocket. They no
longer have “happy feet.”
Rodgers runs about as often as he did in ’08.
The spike in production shows that he’s become
a smarter runner. Another improvement is
understanding how to use his feet to avoid sacks.
He took 50 last season, 31 this season.
“I think I’ve done a better job over the last sea-
son of knowing when to get out and when to
hang in there,” Rodgers said. “Now, when you’re
playing a team like Pittsburgh, I think your reac-
tions have to be on point, your decision-making
needs to be quick and instinctive. But every time
I see an opportunity to extend the play and get
outside the pocket, that’s definitely what I’m
going to look for.”
Against top-seeded Atlanta, Rodgers dropped
back, zigzagged up the middle, pump faked and
dove into the end zone for a touchdown that put
Green Bay up 35-14 midway through the third
quarter. In the NFC championship against
Chicago, he ran seven times, picking up four
first downs, including the touchdown that put the
Packers ahead 7-0 on their way to a 21-14 victo-
ry.
“He’s like a very good scorer in basketball —
you know he’s going to get points,” Steelers
defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. “From
a defensive standpoint, you’ve got to keep him

league’s efforts to stop headhunting as just
another moneymaking scheme; he’s used his
podium for two straight days to taunt
Commissioner Roger Goodell for trying.
“I don’t want to hurt nobody. I don’t want to
step on nobody’s foot or hurt their toe. I don’t
want to have no dirt or none of this rubber on
this field fly into their eye and make their eye
hurt,” he said during Tuesday’s media day. “I
just want to tackle them softly on the ground
and, if y’all can, we’ll lay a pillow down
where I’m going to tackle them, so they don’t
hit the ground too hard, Mr. Goodell.”
Given a chance to retract those comments
Wednesday, Harrison proceeded full-speed
ahead.
“If you want to get (hard hitting) totally out
of the game, put flags on us. We’ll tag off and
pull flags off each other,” he said, “and we’ll
see how popular the game is then, and how
many people come to watch it.”
None of this should come as a surprise.
Harrison is one of those guys who made it to
the NFL by refusing to back down, who used
evaluations by pro scouts that he was too
small and too slow as kindling. Undrafted out
of college, he was cut four times and exiled
for a season to Germany and NFL Europe.
To remember that difficult climb to stardom,
from controlling the game and monopolizing the
game. That’s what we have to try and do with
Rodgers. He’s a great player. He can create,
improvise with his feet, go to his second and
third choice in the route because he has such a
quick release.”
The 6-foot-5, 241-pound Roethlisberger isn’t
as speedy as Rodgers or Vick nor as statuesque
as Tom Brady and Peyton Manning; he just
makes it work.
This season, 15 of his 34 rushes produced first
downs, a rate of 44 percent that was best in the
league among quarterbacks who ran more than
five times.
“Even if you took the number and name off
his jersey, you could watch the film and still
know it’s Ben,” said his backup, Byron

because of a sprained ankle. He was hurt in the
NFC championship game, and he tested it in prac-
tice Wednesday. McCarthy said Walden is likely to
sit out more practices.
“He was very sore, which is why we limited him
today,” McCarthy said. “It’s up the air with him
right now. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow. Even
if he feels a lot better, he’ll be limited. I’m going to
hold him back and give him every chance to be
ready for the game.”
The workout again was at the indoor facility at
Highland Park High School. It lasted 1 hour, 45
minutes and was not in pads.
he carried around his equipment bag from the
Rhine Fire until it fell apart. Now 32, he
remains as defiant as ever.
Soon after Goodell levied the first of what
became $100,000 in fines for what he deemed
illegal hits by Harrison, the Steeler star threat-
ened to retire rather than try to change his
style. Harrison acknowledged that playing
that way had resulted in several concussions
of his own, but not even one that he bothered
to report.
By his twisted logic, Harrison says he’s “all
for player safety.” But in the very next breath,
he vowed to continue to do his best to hide
future concussions from team officials.
“You shouldn’t be able to come back in the
game,” he said. “But if they don’t know, they
don’t have that decision to make. ...
“It’s a choice. No one is forcing me to play
this game. They didn’t put a gun to my head
and say, ’James, go out there and play.’ It’s
what I want to do. It’s what I like to do. It’s
what I love to do.”
Harrison, paused and scanned the crowd of
reporters standing in front of him.
“Did they force you to come out and do
this? Did they put a gun to your head?” he
asked.
No, we assured him, then pointed out that
sports writers don’t risk concussions doing
their jobs.
“You could,” Harrison said with a menacing
smile, “if you say the wrong thing.”
Leftwich. “It’s never going to be pretty. If you
watch his college films, he was making the same
kind of plays. I’m quite sure he was doing it in
high school and junior high. That’s just the type
of player he is. It allows him to win a lot of
games.”
It turns out the formula for slowing scram-
bling quarterbacks starts with good tackling.
“You’ve got to come in under control,”
Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton said. “If
you are out of control, he’s going to slip you and
get away.”
A single player probably isn’t enough, either.
“Once you see one guy going back there, you
can’t just assume he’s going to bring him down,”
Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins said.
“You’ve got to try to bring in other guys to help.”

Four tied for lead in chilly Phoenix Open

By John Nicholson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Bubba Watson start-
ed play with a ski cap and kept his hands warm
between shots with mittens. Ben Crane wore
two hats and three pair of pants. And Phil
Mickelson played his final nine hole in short
sleeves.
Short sleeves? In 45-degree conditions
Thursday in the Phoenix Open?
“I don’t know how he was doing it because I
didn’t think it was that warm out,” said playing
partner Bill Haas, tied for the lead in the sus-
pended first round at 6-under 65. “Better than it
was in the morning, but it’s still pretty cold.”
Lefty thought nothing of it.
“I started to get a little bit warm,” Mickelson
said. “It felt great.”
The start of play was delayed four hours
because of heavy frost at TPC Scottsdale and
only the scheduled morning starters completed
the round.
The temperature dipped into the mid 20s
overnight and it was 39 when play started at
11:40 a.m. The high was 47 on a cloudless day
in the desert.
“It’s cold. You’ve got four layers on,” said
Haas, tied with Jason Bohn, Tom Gillis and
Champions Tour player Tom Lehman.
Another long frost delay was expected Friday,
likely forcing most of the second round to
Saturday and possibly setting up a 36-hole finish
Sunday.
Lucas Glover, sporting a thick beard that
prompted calls of “Grizzly” and “Brian Wilson”
from fans, was a stroke back along with Chris
Couch and Ben Crane.
“It was cold, and it’s getting colder,” Glover
said.
Mickelson, coming off a one-stroke loss to
Watson last week at Torrey Pines in San Diego,
topped the group at 67. Watson shot a 70.
“I expected the golf course to be frozen and
balls to be bouncing on the greens quite a ways.”
Mickelson said. “It played terrific. The greens
were receptive.”
Gillis said it seemed colder than it was over
Christmas in Michigan when he played hockey
on a lake in 15-degree conditions.
“I was wearing the same stuff and it felt a lit-
tle colder today,” Gillis said. “Probably because
we weren’t moving as much as we were when
we were playing hockey. ... But it just seemed
colder than 15 degrees up there, that’s all I
know.”
Lehman won the tournament in 2000 for the
last of his five PGA Tour titles. The 51-year-old
Minnesotan won the Senior PGA Championship
last year and opened the season two weeks ago
with a second-place finish in the Champions
Tour event at Hualalai.
“It was chilly, but once you get playing, you
kind of forget about it,” Lehman said.
“Somebody mentioned about playing in
Minnesota where I grew up. There were some
days there where it was so brutally cold that I
can tell you, one time in high school, a kid broke
his hand, but didn’t know it until the ride home
because his hands were numb all day. That’s
cold. Today wasn’t there.”
Fellow Champions Tour player Mark
Calcavecchia, a three-time winner at TPC
Scottsdale, had a 77. Colombian star Camilo
Villegas also struggled in the cold, shooting a 78
— the worst round of the day.
Defending champion Hunter Mahan was even
par after five holes.
Geoff Ogilvy was 1 under through six holes in
his first start since gouging his right index finger
on a coral reef in Hawaii before the Tournament REUTERS
of Champions. He needed 12 stitches to repair Tom Lehman is one of four players tied for
the cut to the side of his knuckle. first after the first round of the Phoenix Open.

kids can look toward him and try to emulate
him, we can do a lot of things.”
But after Jeremiah, Lucca acknowledges
that there are a lot of unknowns on the 2011
Colts.
UC Davis transfer Javier Carillo is expected
to play a key role for Cañada. Carillo can play
a number of positions although Lucca lists
him a middle infielder. Eren Miravalles
(Serra) is in the infield picture as well after
red-shirting last season.
Returning to the Peninsula after a stay at the
the former Aragon Don. Daily Journal readers
will remember Sortwell as the outfielder who
had a monster senior season for the Dons, bat-
ting .446 with 25 RBIs.
Another Don, Drew Vanisi, will play into
Cañada’s success at the dish as well. Peter
Woodall (Hilldale) and Chris Pile will com-
pete for time behind the plate.
“We’re definitely unproven right now so it
remains to be seen,” Lucca said of his offense.
“We’re young and we’re going to take some
growing pains early, but I like the make-up of
these kids. They’re working hard every day.
All I look for is the drive to get better. A lot of
times that can overcome talent,” he said.
The same question marks exist for the Colts
on the mound.
last season and in their place are a former
College of San Mateo Bulldog and a player
familiar with the Cañada system.
Darius McClelland, who spent last season at
CSM and only made two appearances, will
get the nod in the today’s season opener. The
role of No. 2 starter will fall on the arm of Ray
Torres, who sat out last season following
Tommy John surgery.
“He’s as good as they come from the left
side,” Lucca said of Torres. “We’re excited
about them. We’ll have to go easy with
(Torres) at first.”
“It’s a new team to me,” Lucca said. “I’m
just as curious to see what these guys can do
just as everyone else is. Right now, we have to
learn how to compete at this level. I don’t
to that, I think we’ve taught them well. It’s a
matter of going out there, playing with some
intensity and having fun.”
With all these question marks, Lucca knows
a lot his team’s success will depends on the
intangibles of baseball.
“For us, the key to our success has really
been that our kids show up and play hard
every day,” Lucca said. “Hustle can beat talent
on any given day. I feel like we’ve done a pret-
ty good job of coaching these kids up a little
bit, so if they can go out there and lean on the
system a little bit and understand that things
we’re trying to get accomplished, we’ll have a
successful year.”

El Camino cut its deficit to 10 points, 24-14, following

WRESTLING

Matteucci had fill-ins at 105 and 147 and figured as long as
his wrestlers didn’t get pinned in those matches, his team had
a chance. El Camino won both of those matches decisively —
Marlon Diokno won by technical fall at 105 and Nico Bustos
cruised to a 13-2 win at 147 — but Matteucci was pleased his
wrestlers finished the match.
“We told everybody, guys who weren’t supposed to win had
to stay off their backs,” Matteucci said.
Matteucci believed the match hinged on three pivotal match-
es: at 132, 137 and 154. South City needed to avoid a sweep at
those three spots, but instead turned the tables, sweeping the
Colts.
“Losing the 137 … that was definitely a blow,” said El
Camino assistant coach Ray Reyes. “That was the one we were
hoping to pick up.”
The teams split the first four matches, with South City hold-
ing a slim 12-11 lead following a pin by El Camino’s Brian Ha
at 127 pounds. The Warriors responded by winning the next
three matches — Joe Magsaysay won at 132 win a second-
round pin, Miguel Rodriguez battled through leg cramps to
pull out a 4-2 win at 137 and Jesse Martinez capped the run
with an easy 9-3 win at 142 pounds.
Bustos’ 13-2 win at 147 pounds, but South City got the points
right back with Arthur Georgiyev’s 6-2 win at 154 pounds.
The most anticipated match came at 162 pounds when two
wrestlers ranked in the top-10 of the Central Coast Section
met: No. 4 Falah Salem of South City and El Camino’s Nathan
Huey, who is ranked No. 7 in CCS. The first round was a feel-
ing-out period with Salem earning two points by gaining con-
trol of Huey.
Less than a minute into the second round, however, it was
over. Salem got a two-point takedown and quickly followed
with a three-point near fall before he stuck Huey’s shoulders to
the mat for a pin. Abiel Malepeai gave the Warriors six more
points with a pin at 173, giving the Warriors an insurmountable
39-14 lead with just three matches remaining. The Colts won
two of the final three matches — El Camino’s Angelo
Goumeidis and Kelly both won by pin at 189 and heavyweight,
respectively — but it was too little, too late.
“We over-thought it,” Reyes said. “We can get away with
one guy over-thinking. We wrestled with ourselves. We looked
tentative.
“[South City] wanted it more.”

the highway.
The Civic test car didn’t feel cheap or unsubstantial. There
was a solidity in the ride akin to that of the bigger Honda
Accord. But the federal government’s newly revised crash test
ratings for 2011 put the Civic sedan in a mediocre ranking.
Overall, the car’s rating was three out of five stars, with a side
crash protection rating of just two out of five stars and frontal
protection rated at four out of five stars. Neither the Corolla nor
Elantra have 2011 crash test ratings.
Most safety equipment is standard on all 2011 Civics, includ-
ing curtain air bags, antilock brakes and anti-whiplash head
restraints for front-seat passengers. But electronic stability con-
trol and traction control, which come standard on every Corolla
and Elantra, are available only on the top-level Civic EX-L
sedan for 2011.
Steering in the Civic LX was neither loose nor weighty, and
steering inputs brought confident response. Brakes, too, worked
well, with predictable, steady response.
It was easy to just get in and drive the Civic on city streets
amidst traffic and on open highways. The 14.8-foot-long car
merged easily and maneuvered without fuss, helped by a small,
35.4-foot turning circle. Many road bumps were muted by the
suspension, which included MacPherson struts up front and a
multi-link rear. Overall, the ride was compliantly well-man-
aged, not wallowy or harsh.
Too bad road noise was loud, and I found myself turning up
the volume of the radio often so I could continue to hear above
the noise. Fit and finish, including body panel gaps outside and
seams and gaps inside the test car, were impeccable in the tester.
The 12-cubic-foot trunk offered less space than the Elantra
sedan and Corolla. Much of the Civic’s trunk space is below the
rear window. Two adults would be the best fit in the back seat.
Three people across sit closely.
The Civic sedan’s back-seat legroom of 34.6 inches is more
than the 33.1 inches in the back seat of the 2011 Elantra but less
than the 36.3 inches in the back of the longer-length Corolla.
Consumer Reports gives the Civic its top, “better than aver-
age” reliability rating. But because electronic stability control is
not available on all Civic trim levels, the magazine does not give
the regular 2011 Civic a “recommended” label.
Some car buyers may be worried about the Civic’s future after
Honda said last year it won’t be selling Civics in Japan. But
Honda officials say American car buyers will continue to get all
the Civics they want. After all, Civic was the sixth best-selling
vehicle in the country in calendar 2010.

means in terms of service and manpow-

At least one department head calls
cuts at any level “pretty devastating.”
Sheriff Greg Munks said 15 percent
means $11.8 for his department which
he calls hard to accept if the state fol-
lows through on a plan to send as many
as 350 inmates annually to the county.
“There is no way we can absorb the 15
percent cut without real reductions to
public safety and significant layoffs of
front-line public safety personnel,”
Munks said.
Representatives from other depart-
ments, like the Human Services Agency,
say they are still working on the new
proposals and will have a better picture
in the future.
Although each department is being
equally asked to pencil out three

“By no means is it a victory to halt
implementation of a law meant to
improve public health,” DeLaCruz said.
“It’s about how to do this best that is
really at the heart of this.”
For example, DeLaCruz argued that
the board, in passing its so-called cap-
and-trade system in December, should
have looked at more alternatives to
reducing the harmful pollutants.
The cap-and-trade system works by
columns of cuts, Groom said not every
area will necessarily be trimmed the
same as an end result. Some departments
have more or less county costs, some
have no incoming revenue or offsets —
all factors to consider when making final
budget decisions, she said.
Yet, the Board of Supervisors last fall
rejected County Manager David
Boesch’s idea of outcome-based budget-
ing which takes a more holistic assess-
ment.
Seeking recommendations across the
board may appear to be contrary to that
position but the end result may be the
same, Groom said.
“With the horrendous deficit and not
exactly knowing what will happen in the
state, it is more expedient to say do it
this way, but there isn’t a big comfort
level with just saying let’s cut 15 percent
and I think in the end it won’t just be
that,” Groom said.
The Board of Supervisors will hear the
three levels of suggested cuts during a
week of meetings March 28 to March
31. That will act as a stepping stone for
allowing a company that produces pollu-
tion, such as a utility or a refinery, to buy
a permit from the state giving it permis-
sion to send a specified amount of car-
bon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
into the air each year.
DeLaCruz said alternatives, like ban-
ning certain high-risk air pollutants in
some neighborhoods, should also be
considered.
The judge tentatively ruled that
because the board “did not include any
facts or data to support the conclusions
stated in its alternatives analysis, it
abused its discretion.”
Stanley Young, a spokesman for the air
board, said it is reviewing the decision

the week of June hearings on the recom-
mended budget and final adoption in late
September.
County officials are working with the
assumption the structural deficit is $82
million which will grow beyond $100
million by fiscal year 2015 without
action. They hope to knock out two-
thirds — or $55 million — through
reserves and funding departments at 85
percent.
The idea is to plan for a future four or
five years down the road as well as the
immediate, Groom said.
The Board of Supervisors has already
made progress on its five-year plan to
wipe the budget away by decreasing
expenditures by $50 million, cutting 433
positions, labor negotiations and using
approximately $200 million in reserves,
according to an earlier summary deliv-
ered to the board by Boesch.

“and will respond within the allotted
time.”
Some legal analysts said if the judge
does not change his ruling, it’s only a
temporary setback for the new law. The
board could still appeal, and it could also
seek a stay that would allow it to keep
working on implementing the law while
the legal battle continues.
“The tentative ruling, should it
become permanent, will create some
bumps in the road toward AB32 imple-
mentation but I predict that the bumps
will be only small ones,” wrote Ann
Carlson, a professor of environmental
law at UCLA, in a post on her blog.
Heroism has its limits and death must be accepted
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the low-budget 3-D cave-
diving adventure “Sanctum,” a
little bit of rain causes a lot of
death — by accident, murder
and a bizarre amount of assisted
suicide.
Who needs those chipper
Chilean miners, anyway?
Eschewing such heartwarming
tales, “Sanctum,” directed by
Australian Alister Grierson and
produced by 3-D guru James
Cameron, is more interested in
the savage realities of survival.
A large expedition headed by
grizzled Aussie explorer Frank
McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) is
knee-deep in mapping the mile-
deep Esa’ala Caves of Papua
New Guinea. Frank’s less ambi-
tious 17-year-old son, Josh
(Rhys Wakefield), along with the
team’s financier daredevil Carl
(Ioan Gruffudd) and his equally
gung-ho girlfriend, Victoria
(Alice Parkinson), have just
arrived.
Set deep in the jungle, the
mouth of the expansive cave sys-
tem (actually shot in Australia) is
enormous and cylindrical. You
half expect the Millennium
Falcon of “Star Wars” to come
shooting out with a giant worm
in close pursuit.
In the complex labyrinth of
cavernous chambers and under-
ground rivers beneath the sur-
face, the danger is less alien.
Maneuvering by scuba through
underwater crevices as tight as
those of “127 Hours,” Frank’s
mantra is that “panic is the
enemy.”

approaching, but deep under-

‘The Roommate’ versus the Super Bowl
By Paul Dergarabedian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — This is one of the tough-
est weekends for the movie industry, with the
Super Bowl stealing Sunday audiences and
blocking them from packing the multiplex. It’s
not uncommon to see a 60 percent drop from
Saturday to Sunday.
An exception was Super Bowl weekend last
year, when Sony effectively capitalized on the
counter-programming draw of the romantic
drama “Dear John” and came up with a $30.5
million touchdown.

storm develops into a cyclone, thus promising a
life-threatening deluge in the caves.
Taking charge is Frank, a cold fish, indeed.
“There’s no God down here,” he snaps at one
moment with face hardened. Elsewhere, there’s:
“There are no rescue missions down here, only
body recoveries!”
Everyone questions his harsh leadership
(particularly his more kindhearted son), but
Frank is gradually borne out. He may be
gruff, but he knows caves and the limitations
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Sony should land on top again this year with
the dramatic thriller “The Roommate,” with a
weekend in the $10 million to $12 million
range. Although it won’t have the popularity of
“Dear John,” this variation on “Single White
Female” set in a college dormitory offers a
viable alternative for women looking to escape
the football madness at home.
The rest of the top five is a veritable coin
toss, with four films expected to land within $2
million of each other. The most likely scenario
has Paramount’s “No Strings Attached” grab-
bing second place with around $8 million and
benefiting from being perhaps the only film in
of what can be accomplished.
Those locked underground follow him, look-
ing for the exit to the sea. The survivors are win-
nowed until — true to the tradition of so many
such films — women and nonwhites are gradu-
ally dispatched. Some exit like “Willy Wonka”
characters, neatly ruined by their foolhardiness.
A claustrophobia takes hold as they make
their way from one chamber to the next,
squeaking through the rock and water. Many of
the set pieces in the cave system and the under-
water shots are beautiful, but the lack of varia-
tion begins to feel like the recent film “Buried,”
which takes place entirely in a coffin.
“Sanctum” is clearly in line with Cameron’s
adoration of subsurface exploration, a love
the top five to be truly “Super Bowl proof.” The
R-rated romantic comedy held up extremely
well in its second weekend and should do so
again, given its strong female appeal.
In the wake of 12 Oscar nominations and a
SAG Award for best ensemble cast, Weinstein
Co.’s “The King’s Speech” is gaining broad
mainstream appeal as even younger audiences
are now lining up to see the biopic. With a 30
percent drop, the film could earn around $7.5
million in its 11th weekend of release. A glob-
al ransom of more than $150 million awaits
this “King” by the end of the weekend.

thriller “The Rite” topped the box office last
weekend and will likely scare up another $7
million to $8 million this weekend as it battles
“The King’s Speech” for the souls of moviego-
ers in what looks to be a very tight race.
James Cameron’s 3-D action-adventure
“Sanctum” from Universal will dive into the-
aters in fifth place. The marketing campaign

some amazing images that should draw a

range.
adapted to simple genre films.
As a showcase for 3-D, “Sanctum” is a fail-
ure. The depth of the images adds little to the
experience, and for most of the middle of the
film, is entirely forgotten. The darkness of the
caves, at least, suits the darkened image of 3-D.
Written by John Garvin and caver Andrew
Wight, “Sanctum” claims to be “inspired by a
true story.” The basis, though, is a cave trip by
Wight where a perilous storm nevertheless
ended in all 15 surviving.
The film at least avoids that romantic lie of so
many survivalist movies, that you can make it
against all odds. “Sanctum” allows that heroism
has its limits and that death must be accepted.
Jack Kevorkian would love it.

A DIY approach to Super Bowl party slider
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Super Bowl party food is all about big,
comfy flavor. and ease. Because on the day of
the big game, you want to spend your time in
front of the tube, not the stove.
Sliders are great because they can be served
as appetizers or entrees. And assembling a
buffet of make-it-yourself sliders allows your
guests to tailor the sandwiches to their liking.
Start with a basic roll that goes well with
everything, dinner rolls are a good size and
French rolls are perfect for just about every-
thing. If you don’t find what you want in the
bread aisle, try the bakery section or the
freezer aisle; there will be several options
available. You could also cut down a baguette
into slider-sized pieces.
We’ve listed several fillings for slider sand-
wiches. These are all hot fillings, so consider
rounding out the selection with some deli
meats such as salami, turkey breast and ham,
as well as a selection of cheeses and condi-
ments. Simply set all the fillings out on the
table and let your guests assemble and eat at
will.
For each of these filling recipes, you will
need 10 rolls.

Peggy Gordon
Join San Francisco Fine Arts Museum docent Peggy
Gordon as she introduces “Pulp Fashion: The Art of Isabelle
de Borchgrave,” the just opened exhibit at the Legion of
Honor.
Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave is a painter by train-
ing, but textile and costume are her muses. Working in col-
laboration with leading costume historians and young fash-
ion designers, de Borchgrave crafts a world of splendor
from the simplest rag paper. Painting and manipulating the
paper, she forms trompe l’oeil masterpieces of elaborate
dresses inspired by rich depictions in early European paint-
ing or by iconic costumes in museum collections around the
world.
Pulp Fashion draws on several themes and presents quin-
tessential examples in the history of costume—from
Renaissance finery of the Medici family and gowns worn by
Elizabeth I and Marie-Antoinette to the creations of the
grand couturiers Frederick Worth, Christian Dior and Coco
Chanel.
The Legion of Honor is the first American museum to
dedicate an entire exhibition to the work of Isabelle de
Borchgrave, although her creations have been widely dis-
played in Europe.
Gordon speaks at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9 at the San
Carlos Library, 610 Elm St., San Carlos. For more informa-
tion call 591-0341.
All events are free unless otherwise noted. Please check before the

‘Last Tango in Paris’ star
Maria Schneider dead at 58
By Jenny Barchfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Maria Schneider, the French
actress who was Marlon Brando’s young co-
star in the steamy 1972 film “Last Tango in
Paris,” has died at age 58.
Schneider died in Paris on Thursday “follow-
ing a long illness,” a representative of the Act 1
talent agency said, but declined to provide
details.
Schneider was 19 when she starred opposite
Marlon Brando in Bernardo Bertolucci’s racy
“Last Tango in Paris.” In it, she played Jeanne,
a young Parisian woman who takes up with a
middle-aged American businessman, played by
Brando.
Full of explicit sex scenes, “Last Tango” was
banned in Italy for obscenity for nearly two
decades, returning to cinemas there only in
1989. In the United States, the movie still has an
NC-17 rating for its sexual content, meaning it
can’t be seen by children under 17 years of age.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
In a statement Thursday,
French Culture Minister
Frederic Mitterrand said
Schneider had remained —
even nearly four decades
after “Last Tango” —
“Brando’s at once seductive,
innocent and severe co-star.”
“She will remain a singu-
Maria larly strong image of
Schneider today’s woman,” Mitterrand
said, adding she was “a cin-
ema icon.
Though Schneider appeared in more than two
dozen films throughout her career, none would
bring her even a fraction of the success of “Last
Tango.”
In 1975, Schneider featured in Michelangelo
Antonioni’s “The Passenger,” a wandering exis-
tential drama starring Jack Nicholson as a frus-
trated and erratic war correspondent. Her last
movie, “The Key,” by director Guillaume
Nicloux, came out in 2007.

Friday, Feb. 4, 2011
In the next year, you might be able to discover whether or not
you are satisfied with your life and what you want to do with
it. Once you can identify your true aims, you can successfully
move on, full speed ahead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - That burst of energy you’re
feeling can be channeled constructively and creatively, or it
could be spent on frivolous frippery. Try to use it on some-
thing good.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - If someone you know is cur-
rently in need of aid, don’t wait to be asked. Volunteer to help
out, and don’t take no for an answer. The person could be too
embarrassed to say s/he needs assistance.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Generally, you are your own
person, but for some reason your companions will have the
greater influence on you right now. It’s okay, as long as
they’re leading you somewhere positive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Competitive arrangements are
apt to have an exceptionally strong appeal to you, which is
fine and good, as long as they cause you to better yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Instead of losing your cool over
a competitive development as others might do, you’ll rise to
the top and take full advantage of the challenge, resulting in
some meaningful accomplishment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Rather than get upset when
outside circumstances disrupt your plans, you’ll check to see
if these new developments offer any benefits. Keep a cool
head and a weather eye.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You know that compromise usually
results cooperation, so when someone is forcing you to make
a change, you’ll immediately look for a way to meet him/her
somewhere in the middle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Because you know that all work
and no play can have consequences, you might deliberately
look for a moment when a small break can be tolerated. It’ll
be a refreshing for everyone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If you are in charge of telling
everybody what to do and how to do it, be sure you follow
your own dictates. It would be embarrassing if you were the
one to bungle matters.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Make it your primary objec-
tive, and something that is of significance can be finalized to
your satisfaction. To do so, it is important that you give mat-
ters your full attention.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Know when to call it
quits when trying to make a hard sell. That doesn’t neces-
sarily mean losing hope, but to close your mouth after you’ve
made the sale.
Previous
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - This can be an excellent
day for coordinating yours and/or other people’s actions. The Sudoku
high energy that abounds could do wonders if it is channeled
properly and wisely. answers

First death reported in Australia cyclone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRNS, Australia — Drenching
rain and the threat of flash flooding
hampered recovery efforts Friday
following one of Australia’s most
damaging cyclones, as authorities
confirmed the first death from the
storm.
CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
source and relies on contributions
from the San Mateo County Transit
District (SamTrans), Santa Clara
County’s Valley Transportation
Agency and the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency to
survive.
SamTrans is reducing its contri-
bution to Caltrain by about $10 mil-
lion this year due to its own finan-
cial struggles. Both VTA and MUNI
will follow suit, pushing Caltrain’s
deficit to the $30 million mark.

San Carlos, Pacifica, Belmont,

Friday morning to less than hurri-

500 miles (800 kilometers) inland

Caltrain has been operating under
a fiscal emergency for years now,
allowing it to bypass California
Environmental Quality Act review

rates.
During yesterday’s meeting in
San Carlos, JPB member Ken
Yeager asked for some specifics as
to why SamTrans was in such poor
shape. Yeager is a Santa Clara
County supervisor who serves

San Jose.

Executive Director Mike Scanlon
said. “It is in very bad shape.
Existing taxes do not support
SamTrans.”

reach committee formed last year to
find areas that weren’t being served,
she said. Now a manual is in place
and procedures are being tested at
five sites. The hope is to expand to
all sites in the future, but expansion
depends on budgets and staffing lev-
els which have experienced recent
cutbacks, Asche said.
Einzig, for one, loves the service.
Escalante brings her books when
needed and noted how appreciative

client, is. She’ll often have special

“If we didn’t have the debt, we’d
be better off,” Scanlon said.
“Financial deficits don’t cure them-
selves.”
JPB member Omar Ahmad tried
to simplify the complexity of how
Caltrain is funded.
He used a roll of toilet paper,
mentioned Napoleon and the British
Parliament and spent about five
minutes comparing Caltrain to
Chinese paper makers dating back
hundreds of years. It was a
metaphor meant to simplify

Now that the program has started,
the biggest challenge is finding peo-
ple and organizations who would
like to use it.
Those interested need to sign up.
Volunteers or staff can be used to
bring the books to and from. Or, a
person can get a special card for a
family member or friend willing to
help. Those enrolled get a few perks

rather than three, no hold charges

gave Scanlon a hearty laugh but few
others.
Santa Clara County Supervisor
Liz Kniss, who just joined the JPB
representing her county, wanted to
know what the impacts would be to
local highways with Caltrain’s serv-
ice reductions.
“More people will die if you take
them out of trains and put them on
highways,” Scanlon said.
Caltrain serves about 40,000 rid-
ers a day, currently.

requests, said Escalante.
Finding books can be a challenge,
Escalante noted. Often people are
not up to date on what’s new but
know their interests and simply
want suggestions. There are librari-
ans who can make such suggestions.
Einzig doesn’t fall in that catego-
ry. Currently enjoying
“Autobiography of Mark Twain,
Vol. 1,” she’s up to date on what’s
new with literature.
Moving forward, the San Mateo
County Library is also looking for
