Aragon’s Gay/Straight Alliance holding Youth Summit to focus on bullying

Aragon High School’s royal prom
court was different this year.
The queen came donning slacks.

Caltrain will likely dodge any
service reductions and avoid station
closures if it can find one last chunk
of money in the coming weeks to
meet its $102.8 million budget,
according to a staff report the transit
agency released yesterday.
But the optimal 86-train schedule
is not yet a slam-dunk for next fiscal
year. The chair of the Peninsula

One of two men accused of hold-

hostage in their home last year for a
five-hour ordeal, in which the man
was beaten and his wife sexually
assaulted, was sentenced to more
than a decade in prison.
Juan Carlos Vasquez, 34, was
immediately sentenced to 10 years

of home invasion robbery, one count
of elder abuse, two counts of obtain-

Special district to be created to fund school
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A bond measure to fund a fourth Foster City
elementary school could be one step closer to
going before voters in November as education
officials discuss creating a facilities district
Thursday.
Late last month, the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District decided to move
forward with seeking a bond measure to fund
building a fourth school in Foster City. The
bond, however, would only be funded by
Foster City residents. To place such a measure
on the November ballot, the district must cre-
ate a special school facilities improvement
district. On Thursday, the board will discuss a
draft resolution to create such a district then
vote on it Thursday, May 5.
Although splitting the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District to fund
construction of a fourth school was con-
cerning to elected officials, all previously

Peninsula blood donors will be heading to
Millbrae to give at the Blood Centers of the
Pacific for 10 more years after the Planning
Commission approved to extend the permit
Monday.
The Millbrae Planning Commission original-
ly approved a conditional use permit for the
9,000-square-foot building at 111 Rollins Road
in Millbrae — near the Burlingame border — in
April 2006. The center opened Feb. 5, 2007. On
Monday, the commission approved a five-year
extension of the permit with a 4-1 vote, said
City Planner David Petrovich.
The Blood Centers of the Pacific requested
the longer permit to allow time to recoup the
cost of capital projects like additional lighting,
roof repairs and replacement of the heating and
air conditioning units, according to a staff
report. No other changes were made to the per-
mit.
Before finding a home in Millbrae, the center

agreed it was the right move.
Creating a School Facilities Improvement
District would allow the district to tax one
city, Foster City, rather than the whole district.
While district representatives have been care-
ful not to comment on possible sites for the
school, the board has discussed four sites dur-
ing multiple closed session meetings in recent
months.
One lot at 400 Mariners Island Blvd. is
located on a street which acts as the boundary
between San Mateo and Foster City. It is val-
ued at $2.2 million, according to the San
Mateo County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s
Office.
The 6-acre parcel at 1164 Triton Drive is
valued at $20.6 million, according to the tax
collector’s office. The 4.9-acre parcel at 551
Foster City Blvd. is valued at $5.4 million. An

space available at both locations.

The California utility that operated a gas

After the deadly explosion in San Bruno on
Sept. 9, state regulators ordered Pacific Gas &

through urban areas or test them.
Federal investigators have not determined a
cause but suspect the pipeline may have burst
Lastly, the 6-acre location at 1050-1064

Increased enrollment and a desire to offer
neighborhood schools to families brought on
the district’s search for a home of a yet-to-be-
built fourth Foster City elementary school.
At the same meeting, the board will vote to
require uniforms at Fiesta Gardens
International School starting next year.
The school’s site council designed a com-
mon dress policy in December. In February,
parents at the school were surveyed about the
possible change. More than 93 percent of par-
ents were in favor or could live with uniforms,
according to a staff report.

PG&E said Tuesday pipeline segments in

but PG&E will provide gas to customers from

Obama to be first head of
state to tour Facebook HQ
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — When President
Barack Obama arrives at Facebook headquar-
ters in Palo Alto this week, he will be the first
sitting head of state to visit the brick-and-mor-
tar home of the social media powerhouse.
He will also be partaking in a unique pil-
grimage to this area in Northern California
that has become a cradle for social media, a
trip that is all but obligatory for politicians like
presidential hopefuls, celebrities like Lady
Gaga and dignitaries from around the world
like Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
Such visits to the hottest tech companies in
Northern California’s Silicon Valley offer a
traditional chance to connect face-to-face with
new-media users, voters, fans and potential
donors. But the A-listers of entertainment and
government also gain important cachet that
comes from fusing their personal images with
the technology brands the world sees as the
future.
For politicians especially, this moment in
the history of technology must feel like it did
for their counterparts a half-century ago, when
leaders knew they had to get wise to this new
thing called television.
And as the 1960 televised presidential
debate between Richard Nixon and John F.
Kennedy showed, some politicians turn out to
be better than others at commanding a new
mass medium.
Obama was the first president to take office
after social media became commonplace. His
campaign earned praise for its skill at using
the Web to organize grass-roots fundraising
and voting efforts.
Today, the president’s official Facebook
page has more than 19 million fans and his
Twitter account nearly 7.5 million followers
(still fewer than Lady Gaga, who has nearly
9.5 million followers). During his visit to
Facebook, Obama’s appearance will be broad-
cast live online as he takes questions from
among the site’s 500 million users worldwide.

Court casts doubt on
states’ global warming suit
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court
appeared deeply skeptical Tuesday about
allowing states to sue electric utilities to force
cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from power
plants.
Both conservative and liberal justices ques-
tioned whether a federal judge could deal with
the complex issue of global warming, a topic
they suggested is better left to Congress and
the Environmental Protection Agency.
The court heard argument over whether to
end the lawsuit by six states, New York City
and three conservation groups against four
private companies and the federal Tennessee
Valley Authority, the five largest emitters of
carbon dioxide in the United States.
The Obama administration has joined with
the companies in asking the high court to
throw out the lawsuit. The administration says
EPA already is considering setting emission
standards that would accomplish what the
states are seeking.

White house eases pain of Medicare cuts
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Millions of seniors in
popular private insurance plans offered
through Medicare will be getting a reprieve
from some of the most controversial cuts in
President Barack Obama’s health care law.
In a policy shift critics see as political, the
Health and Human Services department has
decided to award quality bonuses to hundreds
of Medicare Advantage plans rated merely
average.
The $6.7 billion infusion could head off
service cuts that would have been a headache
for Obama and Democrats in next year’s elec-
tions for the White House and Congress. More
than half the roughly 11 million Medicare
Advantage enrollees are in plans rated aver-
age.
In a recent letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius, two prominent GOP lawmakers
questioned what they termed the administra-
tion’s “newfound support” for Medicare
Advantage.
The shift “may represent a thinly veiled use
of taxpayer dollars for political purposes,”
wrote Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Rep.

Committee.
Seniors are among the deepest skeptics of
the new health care law. A recent AP-GfK poll
found that 62 percent disapprove of Obama’s
handling of health care, as contrasted with 52
percent approval among Americans overall.
The poll also found that seniors are more like-
ly to trust Republicans than Democrats on the
issue, by a 51 percent to 36 percent margin.
The insurance industry says the bonuses
will turn what would have averaged out as a
net cut for Medicare Advantage plans in 2012
into a slight increase.
The administration says the reason for the
bonuses is quality improvement, not politics.
“We are looking at whether an alternative

next year.
A White House meeting with a group of
about 70 people led to no legislative break-
throughs, but rather a call to action.
“The president asked the group to commit
to moving forward to keep the debate about
this issue alive, to keep it alive in the sense
that it can get before Congress, where the ulti-
mate resolution of it will have to be obtained,”
said Bill Bratton, the former police chief in

Medicare covers seniors and disabled peo-

signed up in Medicare Advantage plans that
offer lower out-of-pocket costs and more
comprehensive benefits than the traditional

in states considered political battlegrounds,
including Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Nevada, Minnesota and Colorado.
The health care law cut $145 billion over
ten years from Medicare Advantage, partly to
correct a widely acknowledged problem with
overpayments to the plans. Those cuts start off
modestly in 2012 and build up. Insurers were
expected to shift the burden to beneficiaries in
the form of fewer services and higher out-of-
pocket costs, triggering an exodus back to tra-
ditional Medicare.

succeed if he alone is leading the debate.
“The president urged meeting participants
to take a public and active role to lead a con-
structive and civil debate on the need to fix the
broken immigration system,” the White House
said. “He stressed that in order to successfully
tackle this issue they must bring the debate to
communities around the country and involve
many sectors of American society in insisting
that Congress act to create a system that meets
our nation’s needs for the 21st century and
that upholds America’s history as a nation of
laws and a nation of immigrants.”
Obama’s busy week leaves no doubt that his
2012 campaign is underway. The three-day,
four-stop trip to California and Nevada, start-
ing Wednesday, is his most extensive travel
since announcing his re-election plans April 4.
It comes just days after House Republicans
passed a bill to cut $5.8 trillion in spending
over 10 years. Obama has outlined a sharply
different plan for spending and tax priorities.

Obama rips GOP plan
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With America’s global
credit standing suddenly in question,
President Barack Obama insisted Tuesday
that Washington has the political will to slash
the massive U.S. debt despite fierce, funda-
mental differences with Republicans about
how to do it.
Obama spoke hopefully of compromise
with GOP lawmakers, yet still used a cam-
paign-style town hall event to accuse the
Republicans of offering a bleak future for the
poor, young and elderly with their proposals.
The president seemed intent on assuring
financial markets and the watching world that
U.S. leaders will get their act together to
address a suffocating debt — while at the
same time trying to convince voters that only
his plan would share the pain fairly.
Republicans didn’t sound optimistic about
compromise.
House Speaker John Boehner announced
Tuesday that he had picked House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor to work with a White
House commission on cutting spending. But
in doing so, Boehner said, “The American
people understand we can’t keep spending
money we don’t have. The only ones who
don’t are the Democrats running
Washington.”
More upbeat, Obama said, “Here’s the
good news: I believe that Democrats and
Republicans can come together to get this
done.” Speaking at Northern Virginia
Community College outside Washington, he
said, “There will be those who say that we’re
too divided, that partisanship is too stark. But
I’m optimistic.”
Obama never mentioned the new context
for his comments: a warning that the federal
government must rein in its debt or risk los-
ing its sterling credit rating, which could in
turn erode the economic recovery. On

Barack Obama takes part in a town hall meeting at Northern Virginia Community College,

ning control of the House in midterm elec-

A year after spill, Gulf is healing, hurting
By Cain Burdeau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — It was the catastrophe
that seemed to crush a way of life, an oil rig
exploding in the darkness and plunging the
Gulf Coast and its people into months of
chaos.
One year after the nation’s worst offshore
oil spill began, solemn ceremonies will mark
the disaster Wednesday and underscore the
delicate healing that is only now taking shape.
Oil still occasionally rolls up on beaches in
the form of tar balls, and fishermen face an
uncertain future.
But traffic jams on the narrow coastal roads
of Alabama, crowded seafood restaurants in
Florida and families vacationing along the
Louisiana coast attest to the fact that familiar
routines are returning, albeit slowly.
“We used to fuss about that,“ said Ike
Williams, referring to the heavy traffic headed
for the water in Gulf Shores, Ala., where he
rents chairs and umbrellas to beachgoers.
”But it was such a welcome sight.”
Although life is getting back to normal,
many questions linger: Will the fishing indus-
try recover? Will the environment bounce
back completely? Will an oil-hungry public
ever accept more deep-water drilling?
“It seems like it is all gone,” said Tyler
Priest, an oil historian at the University of
Houston. “People have turned their attention

The plight of Misrata’s civilians and the bat-

about the international community’s strategy
in Libya. The leaders of the U.S., Britain and
France have said Gadhafi must go, but seem
unwilling to commit to a more forceful mili-
tary campaign. NATO’s mandate is restricted
to protecting civilians.
Adm. Giampaolo Di Paola, chairman of

done “quite significant damage” to the Libyan
regime’s heavy weaponry, what Gadhafi has
left is “still considerable.”

New-home construction

WASHINGTON — Builders broke ground
on more new homes last month, giving the weak
housing market a slight boost at the start of the
spring buying season.
Home construction rose 7.2 percent in March

Building permits, an indicator of future con-
struction, rose 11.2 percent after hitting a five-

Still, the building pace is far below the 1.2

height of the spill to 2,000 today.
Most scientists agree the effects “were not
as severe as many had predicted,“ said
Christopher D’Elia, dean at the School of the
Coast and Environment at Louisiana State
University. ”People had said this was an eco-
logical Armageddon, and that did not come to

Still, biologists are concerned about the
spill’s long-term impact on marine life.
“There are these cascading effects,” D’Elia
said. ”It could be accumulation of toxins in
the food chain, or changes in the food web.
Some species might dominate.“

Pension ruin?

naction is a reckless response to
the growing fiscal crisis in the
teachers pension system. The
Legislature needs to restructure the
retirement plan to protect taxpayers and
make the system more sustainable. And
teachers and districts should have full
responsibility for pension finances.
A report this month from the
California State Teachers Retirement
System says the plan is $56 billion
short of the money needed to cover
pension payouts over the next three
decades. That number represents an
increase of $15.5 billion over one year
ago — and the gap is likely to grow
more, as the figures do not yet fully
reflect the pension fund’s investment
losses from 2008-09.
The bad news does not end there. The
pension fund is on track to run out of
money by 2042, absent substantial
changes. At that point, the state might
end up paying for retired teachers’ ben-
efits, at a cost of about $9 billion annu-
ally.

rescue the pension plan. The system’s
actuaries say the retirement system
needs an additional $3.8 billion annual-
ly in contributions to close the 30-year
funding gap — a substantial jump from
the roughly $5 billion that teachers, dis-
tricts and the state kicked in for 2009-
10. And the longer the system waits to
raise payments into the fund, the steep-
er the increase will need to be.
Legislators should start repairs by
making teachers and districts bear the
entire cost of the retirement system.
Now, teachers pay 8 percent of salary
into the fund, while districts pay 8.25
percent. The state contributes 2 percent
of teacher payroll, and hands another
2.5 percent to a separate program to
protect teacher pensions against infla-
tion.
However, local collective bargaining
determines teacher salaries and thus
retirement payouts. The state has no
role in that process, and should not be
financially liable for local decisions it

districts fully responsible for funding

given shrinking education budgets. But
that step would also encourage more
careful financial decisions at the local
level.
The Legislature should also give the
teachers retirement system the power to
set annual contribution levels, as the
state’s other major pension fund does.
The Legislature now sets the rates
teachers and districts pay into the fund.
The system needs the flexibility to
adapt to changing economic conditions
quickly instead of waiting for a slug-
gish Legislature to act.
Legislators should also cut the long-
term cost of teacher retirements.
Teachers should not get pension credit
for unused sick time, for example. And
teachers should not calculate retirement
benefits based on the last year of salary
alone, which invites pension spiking.
Such changes might be politically

“future news.” Stations could compete
for the most accurate future news pre-

something like this: “There is very
heavy commute traffic this morning at

probably be. He could continue: “One
man was shot and killed in Oakland
last night near International
Boulevard.” Once a week, usually on
a Saturday night, it could be reported
that one man was murdered in San
Francisco.
For the tiny bit of national news,
they could run stories such as:
“Republicans are sponsoring a bill
designed to privatize Social Security,
and another bill to get rid of
Medicare. President Obama said we
must proceed with caution and listen
carefully to opinions on all sides of

he greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring
about a revolution of the heart, a revolution that
has to start with each one of us.” — Dorothy
Day
Mother Nature has many ways of reminding us of her influ-
ence upon our lives. Sometimes she reminds us of her power
with huge jolts as experienced so devastatingly in Japan.
Sometimes she moves in
more indirect ways, as with
hurricanes and droughts. We
have no control over catastro-
phes like those that capri-
ciously devastate so many
lives. All we can do is work
on preparedness and then
pick up the pieces and
recoup as best we are able.
Mother Nature also speaks
to us in more subtle ways;
one in particular that too
many of us have so far failed
to respect. This is the insidi-
ous, increasing environmen-
tal threat that has much
greater potential for widespread damage than an earthquake
or hurricane. While it is compromising our health now, its
potential for causing tremendous suffering in the future is
most alarming.
We are bringing this catastrophe upon ourselves because
we are unwilling to consider the direct effects of our actions
upon our air, earth and water. Whether an unpredictable, vio-
lent act of nature or predictable environmental crisis, the mes-
sage is clear. Nature will have her way with us, and as we are
part of nature, it is very important that we respect her, listen
to what she is trying to tell us, and build a system of values
that will become the foundation of a respect for all things nat-
ural. But another kind of environmental crisis — the pollu-
tion of the mind — prevents this.
“In our civilization we have modified our environment to
such an extent during this cultural evolution that we have lost
touch with our biological and ecological base more than any
other culture and any other civilization in the past. This sepa-
ration manifests itself in a striking disparity between the
development of intellectual power, scientific knowledge and
technological skills on the one hand, and of wisdom, spiritu-
ality and ethics on the other.” — Fritjof Capra, “The Turning
Point.”
For the “revolution of the heart” that is necessary to build a
new system of values, we need time for thought. And people
who are frantically pursuing the contemporary American
Dream usually do not make time to give much thought to
environmental problems, much less to do anything to allevi-
ate them. But for any worthwhile progress to be made in sav-
ing Mother Earth, we have to keep in mind that our general
lack of respect for the environment is a systematic disease
that has infected all of us and needs to be cured.
We have to work toward getting to the core of the abscess
— the government policies, political manipulations and cor-
porate practices that are allowing the destruction of the very
air, earth and water we depend upon for life. But too many
Americans seem to be a robotic state, like a bunch of addicts,
some still in denial, some painfully aware of their destructive
habits but tied to an addictive system that supports their habit
and, as a result, have no clue as to how to change.
“The addictive system asks us to become comfortable with
activity participating in our own non-aliveness. Addictions
take the edge off, block awareness that could threaten our
seeming equilibrium and allow us to grow, and keep us too
busy to challenge the system. They are essential to the system
... If we love this society in which we live, we must be will-
ing to confront the reality that it has a disease.” — Anne
Schaef, “When Society Becomes an Addict.”
We can start to help to protect our environment by using as
few chemicals in the home and/or garden as possible. We can
rid our kitchens of plastic — especially those that come in
contact with food. If we do this and also purchase as few
products as possible that are wrapped or preserved in plastic,
we would not only be contributing fewer non-biodegradable
disposables to the landfill and to congregate in the ocean, we
would be protecting our health by avoiding chemicals such as
BPA and phthalates as well. And, of course, we can recycle.
As Susan Freinkel writes in her new book, “Plastic — a
toxic love story,” “A century into mankind’s love affair with
plastic, we’re starting to recognize this is not a healthy rela-
tionship. Sure, plastics have been a good provider, but that
beneficence comes with many costs that we never considered
in our initial infatuation.” There will be no great inroads into
the environmental dilemma until a great many more of us
restructure our values and learn how to live lightly on the
earth. We must commemorate Earth Day every day.

NEW YORK — Strong earnings from
Johnson & Johnson helped stocks
rebound Tuesday, a day after suffering
their worst one-day drop in more than a
month.
Johnson & Johnson rose 3.7 percent,
leading the 30 companies in the Dow
Jones industrial average, with earnings
that beat Wall Street’s expectations. The
health care heavyweight also raised its
full-year profit forecast.
Stocks traded in a narrow range
throughout the day. Goldman Sachs and
other companies reported weak earn-

ing from Standard & Poor’s about U.S.
government debt.
Zions Bancorporation rose 3.9 per-

bank reported a first-quarter profit after
posting a loss a year ago. It also said
customers were getting better at paying

Unemployment falls in two-thirds of states
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The unemploy-

nation’s states last month, the latest evi-
dence that the strengthening economy is
encouraging many employers to boost
hiring.
The Labor Department said Tuesday
that the unemployment rate dropped in

number of states to record a decline since
June. The rate rose in seven states and

Major stock indexes posted their

Monday after S&P said it might lower
its rating on U.S. government bonds if
Washington failed to tackle its mounting
debts. While the rating agency kept its
U.S. debt rating at AAA, the highest
possible, it warned that there was a one-
in-three chance it would downgrade
U.S. debt within two years.
U.S. government bonds fared well
despite the S&P warning. Bond prices
moved higher Monday and again on
Tuesday, lowering their yields. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note
edged down to 3.37 percent from 3.38
percent.
Economists and bond traders offered a
handful of explanations. If S&P’s warn-
ing prods Congress and the Obama
administration to cut budget deficits
sooner, it would likely lead to lower
economic growth, leading traders to buy
bonds.

term debt reduction) then that’s a good

blunder and fallout from the deadly
earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The
rise of Apple Inc.’s iPad poses a long-

the device is wooing away laptop buy-
ers, but so far the trend appears to have
had little impact on Intel’s results.

Texas added 37,200 net jobs in March,

CSM head coach Nicole Borg has the
Panthers grab playoff spot
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame boys’ tennis team found itself
in an unfamiliar position Tuesday: the Panthers
needed a win in one of their final two matches to
clinch a spot in the Peninsula Athletic League
team tournament.
Over the last several years, the Panthers were
in the mix for the division title or, at worse, eas-
ily clinched a playoff spot.
Tuesday, however, the Panthers were facing an
equally desperate Aragon squad. The Dons came
into the match a game behind the Panthers and
needed to win their final two matches to have a
shot at the playoffs. The Dons were further
buoyed by the fact they dropped a close 4-3 deci-
sion to Burlingame the first time the teams met.
It wouldn’t be far fetched for Aragon to turn the
tables the second time around.
All that being said, however, there was little
drama as Burlingame romped to a 5-2 win,
clinching the last available spot in the four-team
PAL tournament, which begins Friday and con-
cludes Monday. Regular-season champion
Menlo-Atherton is exempt from the PAL tourna-
ment and will have the division’s only automatic
bid into the Central Coast Section team tourna-
ment. In Friday’s tournament opener, second-
place Carlmont will host Ocean Division winner
Hillsdale, while Woodside and Burlingame will
meet in the other semifinal match. There is still a
question as to which team will host that match.
“I breathe a sigh of relief because I don’t have
to do any math,” said Burlingame coach Bill
Smith, referencing the fact he would not have to
worry about any tiebreakers between
Burlingame and Aragon. After head-to-head
results, the next tiebreaker used is the number of
matches won.
There is a chance he might have to do some
math following today’s match against Mills. A
Burlingame win would move the Panthers into a
tie with Woodside and then tiebreakers would be
in affect to determine which team will host the
playoff match.
The winner of the PAL tournament earns the
league’s second automatic bid to the CCS tour-
nament.

gles matches against Aragon to make the doubles
matches a moot point.

e’re only three days into a
marathon that will drag on for
another two months, but these
NBA playoffs are shaping up as the most
intriguing in years.
And if there’s anything this league could
use, it’s a few surprises.
The NBA has always been the most pre-
dictable of the four major sports, pretty
much following the script that was written
over the regular season.
Lakers. Celtics. Spurs. Yawn.
Sure, the finals are often exciting, but the
first 45 days usually lack intrigue. Maybe
this is the year the pro guys give us their
own version of the NCAA tournament.
There are potential first-round upsets all
around. From the Grizzlies to the Hornets
to the Hawks — heck, even the Pacers, the
only playoff squad with a losing record —
teams that were expected to go away quiet-
ly are already making a lot of noise in this
postseason.
“I’ve been saying all along, just get us to
the playoffs,” said New Orleans guard
Chris Paul, who led the Hornets to a
shocking Game 1 upset of the two-time
defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
“Just get us to the playoffs, and we’ve got
a chance.”
They’re not the only ones.
Memphis knocked off the top-seeded
Spurs in the series opener at San Antonio.
Atlanta, one of the league’s most enigmatic
teams, romped past the Magic in Orlando
even with a monster performance by
Dwight Howard. New York nearly bumped
off Boston, and the Pacers have given
Chicago, the No. 1 seed in the East, all

If you get the chance, the place to be April 21-
23 is the Ohlone College pool. It’s there that the
CSM women’s swim team will try to capture
their first conference title. And head coach
Randy Wright really, really likes their chances.
“I told you at the beginning of the season, this
is my best chance to ever win a girls’ aquatic
title for the College of San Mateo and we trail
(going into the conference titles) but I think
Thursday we will sweep every gold medal,”
Wright said. “There hasn’t been any competi-

they false start, you can write it in.”
Wright has plenty reasons to be that confi-
dent. Well, at least two very strong, All-
“He would have been able to compete better,”
Owdom said. “Last time, we lost 4-3 without him.
We were close last time (but) who knows?”
With Engleman missing, Owdom had to move
the rest of his lineup up a spot, meaning freshman
Devon Hughes had to face Verkhovski.
It wasn’t really close as the bigger and stronger
Verkhovski won handily, 6-1, 6-1.
In fact, Burlingame’s singles players thorough-
ly out-played their Aragon counterparts, winning
all four matches in straight sets. Riley Chadwell
had the toughest match at No. 2 singles, but still
cruised to a 6-3, 6-3 win over Rahul Joshi. Matt
Miller also lost a total of six games at No. 3 sin-
gles, beating Conner Stanton 6-2, 6-4. Forrest Tsu
wrapped up the singles’ sweep for the Panthers,
winning 6-1, 6-2 over Mike Miyahara.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Things look a little more settled in the East,
but those teams beneath Chicago have to be
encouraged by the way the Bulls struggled in
their first two games against a team that went
37-45 during the regular season.
The Pacers had a 10-point lead late in Game
1, but Rose led the Bulls on a closing 16-1 run.
He was at it again Monday night, scoring 36
points, and Chicago needed all of them to hold
on for a 96-90 victory. Certainly, both games
were much tougher than anyone expected.
“We’ve been standing toe-to-toe with them,”
Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. “I’m proud of
these guys.”
Miami and the Big Three of LeBron James,
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh cruised to a sec-
ond straight win over Philadelphia on Monday
night, so that series is going by the book. But
aging Boston struggled to hold off New York in
Game 1, giving the disjointed Knicks a glim-
mer of hope that Anthony and Amare
Stoudemire might figure out a way to work
together.
Speaking of discombobulated, the Hawks

The women’s team will be led by Andrea
Chan, who is undefeated this season. Her team-
mate, Najelah Najdawi, has had a phenomenal
campaign as well. Wright made it clear that he
believes Chan and Najdawi will not face much
competition in their events.
Because they didn’t send any divers to the
conference champions, they go into the event

the way with 94 points, Chabot has 64, Cabrillo

strong of a showing, but he’s got a couple of

Hansbrough emerges as key for Pacers
By Cliff Brunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — The doubters
have always been there throughout
Tyler Hansbrough’s career, from his
prep star days in Missouri to his stel-
lar career at North Carolina to these
early years with the Indiana Pacers.
Same questions, too.
Can he defend? Is he athletic
enough? Can he get his shot off? Is
he too small?
The answers, too, have remained
the same. The man once known as
“Psycho T” has continued to suc-
ceed beyond expectations. Not only
has he made it in the NBA, he is a
starter and a key contributor to an
Indiana team that is giving Chicago
all it can handle in their first-round
playoff series.
He hears the critics, but disagrees
with a defiance that borders on cock-
iness.
“You always have to have confi-
dence,” Hansbrough said. “I always
felt like I should be on the court
because I feel like I’m better than
my opponents. That’s something
that you have to carry with you.”
Whether he’s imposing his will on
the boards or
diving for a
loose ball head-
ed for someone’s
lap in the first
r o w ,
H a n s b r o u g h ’s
intensity embod-
ies the effort the
Tyler upstart Pacers
Hansbrough have displayed
against Chicago.
The Bulls have won both games,
but the young Pacers have pushed
them.
Hansbrough averaged 16.8 points
and 7.1 rebounds per game in March
as the Pacers made their playoff
push. He scored 22 points in the
opener at Chicago, then struggled in
Monday’s loss, scoring six points on
2-for-12 shooting. For a player who
won a national title at North
Carolina and two state high school
titles for Poplar Bluff (Mo.), just
being close doesn’t cut it.
“It’s very frustrating,” he said.
“We played with them. We were
right there but we let it slip away at
the end.”
Hansbrough certainly has
Chicago’s attention.
SPORTS
“He’s a good player,” Chicago
coach Tom Thibodeau said. “He’s
hard playing, he can shoot the ball,
put it on the floor. You have to give
him a lot of credit.”
Hansbrough will make his home
playoff debut Thursday in Game 3.
“This is what I was dreaming
about as a kid,” he said. “I’ve always
been a part of success. We’ll see
what happens. Just got to go out
there and prepare.”
Pacers interim coach Frank Vogel
said Hansbrough’s success starts
with his work ethic.
“You don’t do what he did in col-
lege and not know how to succeed,”
Vogel said. “He’s got a motor that
you see on the court, but you see him
in practice, and in drills, one-on-
zero, he’s going as hard in those
drills as he is on the basketball court.
Guys like that succeed.”
Hansbrough is one of the most
popular Pacers, but Indiana fans who
were gathered at Conseco Fieldhouse
when he was drafted in the first round
in 2009 offered a mixed response
when his name was announced.
Team president Larry Bird confi-
dently predicted Hansbrough’s suc-
cess.
“Not everybody’s going to be
happy with who you take, but once
they see him play, they’ll be very
surprised,” Bird said that night. “He
fits in well with us, and he’s going to
have a great career.”
Hansbrough didn’t win over fans
immediately. As a rookie, he missed
training camp, the preseason and the
first four regular-season games with
a right shin injury. Once he returned,
he became a fan favorite before his
health became an issue again. An
inner ear infection that caused dizzi-
ness and made him sensitive to light
cost him the rest of his season.
He returned healthy for this sea-
son, but he couldn’t crack the start-
ing lineup and at times, couldn’t
even get into coach Jim O’Brien’s
rotation.
“I always had a chip on my shoul-
der, on down from O’Brien not play-
ing me and us not really getting
along, just because I felt I should
have been on the court,” he said.
The Pacers fired O’Brien after a
17-27 start this season. Vogel com-
mitted to giving Hansbrough time.
In one special week last month,
Hansbrough had 29 points and 30
points in back-to-back wins over the
Wednesday • April 20, 2011 15
New York Knicks, then had 29
points and 12 rebounds against the
Bulls in a 115-108 overtime win on
March 18.
His ability to draw fouls is rare for
a young player; just like at North
Carolina, he spends a fair amount of
time at the free-throw line. His abil-
ity to run the floor makes him a
threat in transition, and his sheer
desire gives his team second
chances.
Hansbrough has added a mid-
range jumper to his post game, and
as opponents have gained respect for
it, he’s learning to take advantage by
putting the ball on the floor.
“As a player, I was always trying
to develop my game with the assis-
tant coaches,” he said. “Mid-range,
post development, whatever I could
do to score. As a player, I’m always
trying to get a little better. My next
step is developing my left hand.”
Hansbrough’s emergence was key
for the Pacers because he stepped up
while guard Mike Dunleavy was out
with a broken left thumb to give the
team another scoring option.
“When you’re called upon, you’ve
got to make the best of it,” he said.

Yemeni police open fire on protesters, kill three
By Ahmed Al-Haj
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANAA, Yemen — Yemeni security forces
opened fire on anti-government protesters
Tuesday, killing at least three amid rising inter-
national concern over the strategically located
nation.
The United Nations Security Council met late
Tuesday for a first-ever briefing and discussion
about the deteriorating situation in Yemen,
where rights groups say two months of protests
calling for the president to step down have
claimed 120 lives.
But the U.N.’s most powerful body couldn’t
agree on a statement proposed by Lebanon and
Germany expressing concern at the political cri-
sis, calling on the parties “to exercise restraint
and to enter into a comprehensive dialogue to
realize the legitimate aspirations of the Yemeni
people,” and supporting the mediation role of
the Gulf Cooperation Council.

ernment delegation headed to nearby Abu

BEIRUT — Syria did away with 50 years of
emergency rule Tuesday, but emboldened and
defiant crowds accused President Bashar
Assad of simply trying to buy time while he
clings to power in one of the most repressive
regimes in the Middle East.
Repealing the state of emergency, which
gives authorities almost boundless powers of
surveillance and arrest, was once the key
demand of the monthlong uprising. But the
protest movement has crossed a significant

Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, for talks
with the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council
over a proposal for President Ali Abdullah
Saleh to transfer power to his deputy to end the
crisis. The opposition held similar talks in Saudi
Arabia on Sunday.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations, told reporters after the closed
Security Council meeting that “there were sev-
eral delegations that wanted instruction from
(their) capitals.” Other council diplomats,
speaking on condition of anonymity because
the talks were private, identified the countries as
Russia and China.
Rice said “several themes emerged, including
a call for restraint and an end to the violence”
and concerns that the events in Yemen not only
have implications for the country’s security and
stability but for regional and international peace
and security. Diplomats said some members
raised al-Qaida and piracy in this discussion.

uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, says nothing
short of Saleh’s immediate departure would end

Bashar Assad to the streets in several
cities and towns across

ing that his name not be published out fear for

Jose Andres:Ambassador
of food from his D.C.base
By Brett Zongker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Jose Andres is moving from small plates
to big ideas.
The Washington chef best known for popularizing tapas —
the Spanish custom of dining on small, shared dishes — has
been not so quietly refocusing, keeping one eye on the kitchens
of his growing restaurant empire, and the other on the policies
and politics that underpin so much of what and how we eat.
It’s a duality he hopes more chefs will embrace.
“When we are trying to come up with new health laws, you
bring doctors, you bring experts in medicine. In urban plan-

Light finish to Easter dinner
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
What with its focus on a hefty ham or
robust leg of lamb — not to mention all
those chocolate bunnies — Easter dinner
can be a heavy affair.
So consider serving a lighter dessert,
such as this fresh honeydew-blackberry
tart that offers a nice balance between
light and luxurious.
As with any good tart, the crust is
crispy and rich, but made from healthful
ingredients such as white whole-wheat
flour, ground almonds and some
reduced-fat cream cheese. There’s also
just enough butter to add that familiar
flavor you’d expect in a crust.
The lime zest-laced custard filling is
made with a few egg yolks to give it a
wonderful texture, but also cornstarch to
help keep the fat to a minimum.
And then there’s the beautiful, refresh-
ing topping of fresh melon and berries.
If you like, you can use cantaloupe or
something more exotic such as golden
honeydew melon. And if you can’t find
— or don’t want — blackberries, substi-
tute fresh raspberries or even blueber-
ries.
Remember, tarts are almost always a
lighter choice than many varieties of pie,
if only because they avoid the extra fat
and calories of a top crust.
HONEYDEW-BLACKBERRY TART
Start to finish: 2 hours (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 10
For the crust:
1 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted
butter, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons cold reduced-fat cream
cheese (such as Neufchatel)
For the filling:
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/4 cup lime juice
1 cup water
2/3 cup sugar, divided
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 honeydew melon, seeds removed
1/2 pint fresh blackberries
Heat the oven to 350 F. Use cooking
spray to coat an 11-inch round tart pan
with a removable bottom.
To prepare the crust, in a food proces-
sor combine the flour, almonds, sugar
and salt. Process until the almonds are
finely ground. With the processor run-
ning, add the butter one piece at a time.
Add the cream cheese by the table-
spoonful, pulsing twice after each addi-
tion, until incorporated.
Turn the dough out into the prepared
pan (it will be crumbly). Spread the
dough evenly and press firmly into the
bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake
until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Meanwhile, to make the filling, in a
small saucepan over medium-high,
whisk together the lime zest, lime juice,
water and half the sugar. Heat until sim-
mering.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
remaining sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch
and salt. While whisking, pour a small
amount of the hot lime water into the
yolks to warm the mixture, then contin-
ue to add more until all the lime water is
incorporated. Pour the mixture back into
the saucepan and cook over medium-
high, whisking continuously, until the
mixture is thick, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk
in the butter until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the cooled tart
shell, spreading it in an even layer. Press
a piece of plastic wrap over the surface
of the filling to prevent a skin from form-
ing. Refrigerate until the filling is well
chilled, about 1 hour.
Cut the melon into quarters, then trim
the rind from each section and cut the
flesh into thin symmetrical slices.
Arrange the slices overlapping around
the outside of the tart shell, with the nar-
row ends pointing in. Mound the berries
in the center of the tart. Refrigerate until
ready to serve.

With all the other things that need
to get on the table, sometimes wor-
rying about a yeasted dinner roll is
just too much. So these biscuits
come together fairly quickly and can
be chilled until it’s time to bake
them. Just drop the mixture onto a
baking sheet, throw in the fridge,
then bake when you’re ready.
Alternatively, bake them off ahead
of time and warm them just before
dinner. When making the biscuits,
be sure that the butter and the milk
are cold for the best texture and
shape.

Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 12
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 small yellow onions, finely
chopped
2 shallots, minced
3 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold
unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
cheese, divided
1 cup milk, cold
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a
baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium saute pan over medi-
um, heat the olive oil. Add the
onions and the shallots and saute
until very soft and caramelized,
about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to
a shallow dish and chill for 10 min-
utes.
In the bowl of a food processor,
pulse together the flour, baking
powder and salt. Add the cold butter
and pulse until the butter is the size
of peas. Add the chilled onions and
1 cup of the parmesan cheese and
pulse to distribute. Add the milk and
pulse just until the dough comes
together.
Drop the dough in 1/2 cup
mounds onto the prepared baking
sheet, then sprinkle each mound of
dough with a bit of the remaining
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Chill or
bake immediately. Bake for 18 to 20
minutes, or until golden brown and
cooked through.

For a side dish,slice portobello mushrooms and asparagus,both of which
have the heft to stand up to the high heat of a panini press.
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds turkey tenderloin, cut
into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 bunch asparagus, bottoms
trimmed, halved crosswise
2 large portobello mushrooms, cut
into thick slices
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together
the vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce,
garlic powder, ginger and 1/2 tea-
spoon black pepper. Add the turkey
rounds, turning to coat each. Cover
and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a second medium
bowl, whisk together the olive oil,
hoisin and 1/4 teaspoon black pep-
per. Add the asparagus and mush-
rooms, then toss to coat evenly. Set
aside until the meat is ready.
Heat the oven to 200 F.
Once the meat has marinated, heat
a panini press or other countertop
grill (if your press has temperature
settings, use high).
Arrange the turkey rounds on the
panini press, close it and cook for 3
1/2 minutes, or until browned on
both sides. Transfer the rounds to an
oven-safe platter, sprinkle with
sesame seeds, then place in the oven
to keep warm.
Arrange the asparagus and mush-

and cook for 3 minutes, or until the
vegetables are nicely seared and just

then cook for another minute. Serve
the vegetables with the turkey
medallions.

Most people consider hot cross buns
an Easter treat, but there is no reason to
limit yourself to just once a year.
To help get hot cross buns onto

to blend their luscious buttery spicy taste
with the ease of a traditional muffin.
They still have all the great flavors —
spices, citrus and currants — but in a
quick and easy muffin.
These muffins work equally as well as
breakfast or snack. If you like, add mini
chocolate chips in addition to or in place
of the currants.
HOT CROSS MUFFINS

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Divide the batter between the prepared
muffin cups and bake for 15 to 20 min-
utes, or until a toothpick inserted at the
center of the muffins comes out dry.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then trans-

For an ultra-crisp hash

brown,use panini press
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

To make their hash browns so satisfyingly

ultra-crisp, most restaurants resort to deep-
frying. But you can pull it off at home with far
less mess and fat. This version uses a panini
press to produce easy, fast and incredibly
crispy has browns.
To make the recipe even easier, substitute
frozen shredded potatoes. To do this, arrange
1/2 cup mounds of frozen shredded potatoes
on the press, then close the cover and cook

Top that sirloin

until lightly browned. Open the press and add
another 1/2 cup of frozen shredded potatoes to
each, then repeat cooking until very crisp.
This two-step method is important, as frozen
shredded potatoes compress more than fresh

fatty and spicy

By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Guacamole is so good, I firmly believe it is
wasted on tortilla chips.
So I decided to come up with a suitable plat-
form on which it could truly shine. And since
fatty foods — even healthy ones like avocados
— have a delicious affinity for salty foods, I
decided to play with steaks.
What I came up with was a simple marinat-
ed sirloin — started on the stove and finished
in the oven — topped with a spicy, creamy
guacamole. If you’re a beef purist, you can
skip the marinating of the steaks, but I found
the vinaigrette added a wonderful zing to the
meat that worked so well with the avocado.
This recipe is incredibly versatile. It’s easily
started ahead — the steak can be marinated
overnight. And it can be served as a generous
entree (as described in this recipe), or cut into
thin strips across the grain and served on toast-
ed baguette rounds and topped with the gua-
camole for a party.

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic
Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F or millions of people who suffer
from chronic lower back pain, Spinal
Decompression Therapy frequently
offers far more effective treatment than
less conservative therapies. Many patients
find that Spinal Decompression Therapy
provides both immediate and long-
term relief. It is a noninvasive therapy
that achieves results without surgery,
injections, or medications. It can provide
relief for herniated discs, degenerative
discs, sciatica, general lower back pain,
and even failed back surgery.
“I liked the idea that Spinal
Decompression Therapy wasn’t
invasive,” said Paul Pratt, a firefighter
for over 30 years. “I liked the idea that
there were no pharmaceuticals involved
and that there was no cutting involved.
I was very optimistic, and was thinking
that this might work for me.” Weeks into
his treatment, Pratt began to experience
a dramatic change for the better.
“It just got better and better,” he said.
“I think in my third week of therapy
I felt like something had moved. The
pain from the sciatica had started to go
away. I was getting sensation back.” By
the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was
completely free of pain. His life was
back to normal.
Understanding Back
and Leg Pain
Pain in the back and lower legs can
result when spinal bones rub, irritate,
pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This
can also impair the function of the
tissues, organs, and systems controlled
by these nerves. The lower back
comprises parts of three basic types.
Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential
part of the skeletal framework. Discs
are the cartilage that cushions or pads
and separates the space between the
vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves
that control muscles, organs, and other
essential body functions. Among these,
the sciatic nerves are the largest and
longest in the body. They exit the spinal
cord from the lower spinal column,
travel down each leg, and divide into

many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee,
calf, ankle, foot, and toes.
Spinal discs are sometimes compared
to jelly doughnuts. If too much
pressure is put on one, the “jelly” can
squirt out. In the human anatomy, this
condition is known as a herniated disc.
When compressed, the space between
vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to
touch nerves.
Patients get to lie back and relax
while spinal pressures reach
negative levels. Now the natural
repair mechanism in the body
has a chance to really do its work.
How Spinal Decompression
Therapy Works
As its name implies, Spinal
Decompression Therapy creates a
negative pressure on discs in specific
areas, so the cartilage or “jelly” can
realign and return to its proper place.
In other words, this vacuum effect
draws the herniated material back into
the disc, along with water and other
nutrients and thus aids healing within
the disc. While many people think that
any pulling of the spine is “traction,”
there is a substantial difference between
old fashioned traction and Spinal
Decompression Therapy.
“The big difference is that with traction,
as we have known it for years, it is just
a general load pulling the entire spine,”
said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President
National Spine Centers and a member
of the National Academy of Pain
Management. “Traditional, old-style
traction does not differentiate between
the different levels of the discs. Now, by
using motorized spinal decompression,
we are able to change the angle of the
pull and target specifically any disc that
is affected. By doing this, we get much
better results than you get with just
standard traction.”
The advanced technology of
Spinal Decompression systems allow
healthcare professionals to adjust the
amount of traction according to the
reaction of the patient’s body. When
old fashioned traction is used, the
patient’s body may sense tension as it
is being pulled and react by going into
spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal
Decompression systems counter this
spasm reaction by cycling through a
series of pulling and relaxing as the
treatment is being administered. This
makes the decompression treatment
much more effective and comfortable,
since the patient’s body is not fighting
against the pull of a machine.
A Comfortable Procedure
“Many patients are a little
apprehensive the first time they come
in and get on the machine,” Dr. Crespo
said. “However, once they get on it,
they all react the same way. There is
an immediate sense of relief once the
machine starts pulling. They look at you
and say ‘My pain’s gone.’ After that, it’s
just a matter of them getting comfortable
with it. After awhile, a majority will even
sleep through the procedure.” Here’s what
one patient says.
“After the treatment, I really miss
coming back and being treated,
because I felt like I was at a spa,” said
Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four
herniated discs. “The treatment was
very comfortable and very relaxing.
At the end of some of the treatments,
I felt like I had been through a good
workout. Like I had gone to the gym
and worked out.”
Enjoying an Active Life
Even after patients have been through
spine surgery, Spinal Decompression
Therapy may still offer relief. To her
friends, just seeing Angie Horton
waterskiing again is nothing short of
a medical miracle. That is because just
a few years ago she was recuperating
from her third spine surgery and living
in constant pain.
“I really felt that I had two options,
she said. “It was either a wheelchair
or death. I literally felt I was going
to end up being a crippled person. I
was headed in that direction. I’m very
glad I did not go under a fourth spinal
surgery.” While recovering from her
third surgery, Horton read an article
that introduced her to the science of
Spinal Decompression Therapy.
“I have always said that I don’t use the
word miracle,” she said. “I think someone
above gets that word. But I would
honestly say that this is as close to that
word as you’ll ever get.” Within hours of
her first treatment, Horton noted that she
started to feel relief. And by the end of
her sixth week of Spinal Decompression
Therapy, she was completely free of pain.
Now that she is able to play with her
grandchildren and live an active lifestyle,
she wonders why her surgeon and other
medical experts didn’t tell her about this
therapy sooner.
“I actually got to a point where I became
angry,” she said. “And I went through a
couple weeks of anger simply because I
felt that other people in the medical field
should have been obligated to give me
this information. I’m not against surgery.
I’m not against all the other things like
Wednesday • April 20, 2011 23
epidurals, but I feel that they should not
be on the forefront. They should be on the
backburner. These spinal decompression
machines should be the first thing. Once
you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI,
and if you are a candidate, this should be
the very first thing to do.” Paul Pratt the
firefighter shares much the same feeling.
“In my mind, Spinal Decompression is
what you need to look at first,” he says.
“I’ve heard too many stories of surgeries
that didn’t work, and those people wish
they had never had it done. Because, in
some cases, they are worse off than they
were before. Spinal decompression has
got to be your first option.”
“I was not able to work at all for two
months,” he said. “There was nothing I
could do. I would go back to work on a
light duty position But even on light duty,
sitting in a chair doing menial work, after
about two days it would cripple me up
again to where I couldn’t even do that.”
Along with the physical pain, there was
emotional stress. He could no longer
enjoy time with his grandchildren and
felt all the hopes and dreams for his
retirement years were in jeopardy. By the
end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he
was completely pain free. And a year after
his therapy, he is still completely pain
free, again doing what he loves. Now he’s
the captain of his fire department and is
enthusiastically planning for retirement.
“It brought my life back,” he added, “all
the things I was doing before. Playing
with the grandchildren, playing with my
children. I got to do things with them.
Lifting them, rolling around with them,
playing with them. All those things came
back without limitations.

BULLYING
Continued from page 1
topic, GLSEN found a decrease in hear-
ing homophobic remarks but found stu-
dents’ reactions to bullying and harass-
ment as more severe.
This weekend, the Bay Area Youth
Summit, hosted by Aragon’s
Gay/Straight Alliance, will focus on
combating problems of bullying and cre-
ating safe school zones. A collection of
high profile speakers include: gay rights
activist and creator of the AIDS quilt
Cleve Jones and 14-year-old Graeme
Taylor, who gained national recognition
after a YouTube video of him speaking
on behalf of a teacher in Michigan who
was suspended after disciplining a stu-
dent for making anti-gay remarks went
viral. Youth and adults can learn tech-
niques for dealing with bullying issues
and creating a better environment for
students through various workshops.
Locally, a number of gay teens have
found a voice in activism and support
from school administrators. Noting that
isn’t the case not only across the country
but in California, Saturday’s event
should be a learning experience for
teens, teachers and leaders.
Aragon English teacher Vince Bravo
said the mainly student-driven event is
an opportunity for teens to bring up les-
bian, gay, bisexual and transgender —

term funding problems.
“Are we borrowing ahead to get
through this year just to fall off the cliff
next year?” Elsbernd said.
The 76-train proposal will be an item
of discussion at the JPB special meeting
Thursday before the board votes on the
budget, Elsbernd said.
Coming into this budget cycle,
Caltrain faced more than a $30 million
deficit as contributions from the three
transit agencies that support it were
reduced drastically.
In recent weeks, however, help from
the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission has closed the gap signifi-
cantly and Caltrain needs just $3.5 mil-
lion more to keep the same exact sched-
ule it had last year. Caltrain is currently
negotiating with the MTC to secure the
final bit of money to avoid service reduc-
tions and station closures.
Under the worst-case scenario,
Caltrain considered reducing weekday
trains from 86 to just 48 to run during
commute hours only and the suspension
of weekday service at up to seven sta-
tions including Bayshore, South San
Francisco, San Bruno, Burlingame,
Hayward Park, Belmont, San Antonio,

race is drawing the most attention, the
ballot also includes measures for the San
Carlos, Ravenswood and Jefferson
Union High school districts.
A wide assumption is that turnout will
be lower than a traditional November
election but “on the other hand we’re
getting a ballot in everyone’s hand. It’s
already there so all they have to do is
return it,” Tom said.
Voter registration closed Monday and
the Elections Office is still tallying the
final figures although Tom said they are
only 100 or so off from the last numbers
reported April 12.
As of that date, the county had
342,500 registered voters, a majority —
176,967 — democrats, followed by
82,062 decline to states and 70,780
republicans. In the first supervisorial dis-
trict, the seat up for grabs in the election,
69,797 voters are registered as of the last
report.
known as LGBT — issues in a proactive
rather than reactive manner.
Bullying comes in many forms,
Galisatus said.
Being aware of it and how to deal with
it should be a focus at schools, he said.
Galisatus has had a positive experi-
ence with coming out and found comfort
in activism. He shared that he was gay
with friends over the summer of eighth
grade and with his parents the following
year. Aragon’s Gay Straight Alliance
became a way for Galisatus to focus on
education. He became president sopho-
more year and has since used it as a
vehicle to discuss issues and hopefully
find solutions, like Saturday’s summit.
Menlo-Atherton senior Max Philp,
president of his school’s GSA and also
Galisatus’ recent prom date, supports the
educational effort. Philp has first-hand
experience of the effects of bullying.
During his freshman year, Philp
attended a high school in Sacramento
and was figuring out who he was. Near
the end of the year a friend sent him a
message about his latest YouTube video.
Philp previously created YouTube videos
but it had been awhile. He searched to
see what his friend was talking about
and found harmful videos mocking his
effeminate gestures and attempting to
out him.
“My grades took a hit. I wasn’t
myself,” said Philp who started trying to
change the way he dressed and acted in
an attempt to ward off bullies.
Philp didn’t tell anyone. Unsure of his
Lawrence, Santa Clara and College Park.
Regional support from the MTC has
helped solve most of Caltrain’s current
problems with one-time fixes that cannot
sustain the rail service in the long term.
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
source and gets most of its support from
its riders at the fare box. Much of the rest
of its revenue comes from voluntary con-
tributions 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 contribution
to Caltrain by approximately $10 million
this year due to its own financial strug-
gles and both VTA and MUNI have fol-
lowed suit, pushing Caltrain’s deficit to
the $30 million mark.
While Caltrain tries maintaining the
current 86-train schedule it will still be
forced to raise fares and charge more for
parking.
Fares will increase by 25 cents starting
July 1, when fiscal year 2011-12 begins,
and parking fares will go up as well to
add about $2.5 million to the budget for
next year.
While Caltrain may have weathered
the worst from this year’s financial crisis,
the same may not be true next year as
one-time funds may dry up.
JPB Vice Chair Omar Ahmad
described the budget up for vote
Thursday as an “ugly one.”
Ballots were mailed April 4 and as of
Tuesday afternoon 41,792 have been
returned.
While 12 percent so far seems low,
Tom said it is “favorable” compared to
the last mid-term supervisor election of
Rich Gordon which drew only 15.61
percent of voters.
Ballots must be received by 8 p.m.
May 3 in the Elections Office. Voters
who do not mail them in time can drop
ballots off at either of the two elections
offices or at any city hall. Special voting
centers will also be open next week.
Tom said the new all-mail process is
running smoothly so far aside from some
requests for new ballots by voters who
accidentally tossed them away.
Running for the District One supervi-
sor seat are Burlingame Mayor Terry
Nagel, Millbrae Councilwoman Gina
Papan, Dave Pine of the San Mateo
Union High School District Board,
Richard Holober, president of the
Community College District Board,
Michael Stogner and Demetrios Nikas.

own sexual identity, telling a teacher or
parent would only draw more attention
to an uncomfortable conversation.
Philp’s mom got a new job that sum-
mer and he got a new start, which could-
n’t have come at a better time.
At the end of sophomore year, Philp
felt comfortable enough to come out. He
lost a few friends, but ultimately came
out stronger. A few students called him
“faggot” in the hall, but that subsided
immediately after reported.
This year, M-A’s GSA has taken on a
four-step education plan on campus to
combat bullying and foster acceptance
of others.
First students covered the school with
fliers containing terms that can be offen-
sive to raise awareness. While “that’s so
gay” is usually said in jest, it can be hurt-
ful to someone closeted, said Philp.
Next, students talked to the staff about
tools to combat such slurs. Posters were
ordered on the topic and will be required
for all classrooms and the library. Lastly,
students will talk to those in the fresh-
man and sophomore classes about the
effects of slurs.
The Bay Area Youth Summit will be
held from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, April
23 at Aragon High School, 900 Alameda
de las Pulgas. A free dinner dance will
follow the workshops from 8 p.m. to 10
p.m. The dinner is open to all while the
dance is only for the youth. The event is
free, but a suggested $10 donation is
requested from attendees.
“To do an 86-train schedule requires
pulling every trick in the book; 48 trains
is what we can really afford,” Ahmad
said.
A regional effort is under way to get a
tax measure on the ballot by November
2012 to establish a dedicated funding
stream for Caltrain and JPB members
have discussed publicly that the system
should not be crippled before going to
voters.
“You can’t tell the public you broke the
system and you now need a revenue
source to fix it,” Ahmad said, echoing
statements made previously by Adrienne
Tissier, a San Mateo County supervisor
who also sits on the JPB.
Ahmad said Caltrain should have a Plan
B, however, if voters reject such a tax.
“We need to have a very frank discus-
sion on what happens if voters do reject a
tax,” Ahmad said. “A new norm could
develop about what the right size system
is. It might come to a point where we say
‘this is what we can afford,’” Ahmad said.
Right now, Caltrain can technically only
afford to run 48 trains a day based on its
current revenue.
Elsbernd does expect the JPB to pass a
budget that includes an 86-train schedule
but isn’t sure of his own action.
“I’m not sure I will vote for it,” he said.

In the coming months, you are likely to successfully
wrap up two old projects that you’ve been having a hard
time completing. However, once they are out of the way,
they will make room for two new enjoyable activities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make due with what-
ever you have on hand. Don’t run out and purchase
an item that you may never use again, or borrow
something from a friend that you don’t know how to
use properly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Enjoy getting involved in
something you truly like doing, whether it is a sport,
a job or an intriguing hobby. Don’t let anybody burgle
your precious time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Fun plans or big
ideas will be of little value to you if you fail to follow
through on them. Don’t just talk about what you
want, make yourself seek it out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Resolve to be tactful and
considerate in trying to arrange a delicate mater with
a friend. Don’t make saving face or always being right
an issue; strive to be appreciative of you pal’s feelings.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Timing is always es-
sential when trying to either propose or resolve
something. If there is an important matter that you
want to bring up with another and the right moment
pops up, jump on it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t fall prey to putting
