Officials in the Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary
School District are making plans to
be more fiscally conservative in
coming years, which means a range
of possible budget changes includ-
ing increased class sizes and fur-
lough days.
Tonight, the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary School District
Board of Trustees will get a budget
update when it discusses the rst
interim scal solvency report. In
addition, the board will discuss the
existing parcel taxes and the possi-
bility of either extending them or
going out for another tax measure.
Board President Brian Matthews
said the district is facing some
tough decisions. The districts
Budget Advisory Committee has
recommended no decit spending
going forward. As a result, there
could be some big changes, he said.
On the table are raising class sizes
from 25 students to 30 in the
younger grades and up to 12 fur-
lough days, Matthews said. Such
items require negotiations and could
change depending on the support of
the fundraising efforts of the dis-
tricts education foundation,
School-Force.
Last year, the district decit spent
more than $850,000.
The district is projected to meet
the nancial requirements for the
current and two following school
years, according to the rst interim
report by interim Co-
Superintendent Nellie Hungerford.
It anticipates continued enrollment
growth in the coming school years
which will result in the hiring of

A woman who lost a nger while
protecting her golden doodle from
attack by a German shepherd at a
Menlo Park dog park is suing the
canines owner who she claims was

supervising the off-leash animal.
Angela Oteras suit led in San

Residents put ribbon
on burned-out house
PENN HILLS, Pa. Some residents
of a Pittsburgh suburb have gift-
wrapped something they hope will be
gone by Christmas: a charred and aban-
doned house that burned nine months
ago.

dents put a big red bow on the house
next door to hers, so Penn Hills ofcials
will get moving on tearing it down. The
house burned in March.
Residents say its unsafe and an eye-
sore, and that they fear it could harm
their property values.
Davis says gift-wrapping the house
was done in jest to bring light to a sit-
uation where theres no humor at all.
She says the re frightened her and
caused $8,000 worth of damage to her
100-year-old home.

The Peninsula Museum of Art in Belmont is
moving out of the historic Manor House at
Twin Pines Park for a more expansive space in
Burlingame.
The new digs will also house the Peninsula
Art Institute, which will be comprised of
many artists who formerly called the 1870 Art
Center on Ralston Avenue in Belmont home,
Ruth Waters, the museums acting executive
director told the Daily Journal yesterday.
If all goes well, the new museum and insti-
tute should open to the public Feb. 23, Waters
said.
Artists with the institute will open their stu-
dios twice a year to the
public and art classes will
be offered throughout the
year. Painters, sculptors,
photographers and other
artists will call the new
institute home. The insti-
tutes mission is to provide
a supportive working envi-
ronment for creative pro-
fessionals in the visual arts
and to be a cultural resource for the commu-
nity, Waters said.
The museum will feature exhibition gal-
leries, art education facilities, a reference
library, museum shop, community meeting
room, a permanent collection and artists
working studios.
The Barrett Community Center previously
housed 1870 Art Center but the city of
Belmont terminated the lease earlier this year
after lengthy negotiations failed.
The museum moved into the Manor House
in 2003 but, in February, it will be located at
1777 California Drive in Burlingame, just
south of Trousdale Drive near the Millbrae
border.
Waters has been afliated with the arts com-
munity in Belmont since 1977 but is excited
about the new opportunity in Burlingame, she
said.

A paralegal who prosecutors say made a
habit of impersonating a very-real attorney
appeared in court yesterday in his own case,
pleading not guilty to 13 felonies connected
to a San Mateo County appeal for which he
was reportedly paid more than $1,000 by a
man trying to withdraw a plea.
John Hedderman, 52, will stand trial
March 4 on the charges which include sever-
al counts of practicing law without a license,
grand theft, false impersonation and threats.
Meanwhile, he remains free from custody on
$50,000 bail.
Hedderman was once a licensed attorney in
California but resigned in 2001 with charges
pending after several incidents of ineligibili-
ty to practice law.
However, prosecutors
say in February he repre-
sented himself as an attor-
ney named Donald Welch
when he met client Ruben
Bisceglia in Southern
California who wanted
help withdrawing a plea
of no contest to possess-
ing stolen property in San
Mateo County.
Hedderman worked as a paralegal for the real
Welch who practices in Southern California.
Bisceglia reportedly paid Hedderman more
than $1,000 in fees for three appearances in
San Mateo County Superior Court between
March and August 2012.
When a San Mateo County prosecutor
attempted to contact the real Welch, authori-
ties learned of the alleged local misrepresen-
tation and that he was convicted of 12
felonies in Orange County for falsely repre-
senting himself as an attorney.
Hedderman stipulated to misconduct in
four cases including failure to perform com-
petently, refund unearned fees and commu-
nicate with clients and pay court-ordered
sanctions or cooperate with the bars investi-
gation, according to the State Bar of
California.
Hedderman faces between seven and eight
years incarceration if convicted.

Decoy finds businesses
selling alcohol to minors
Four businesses could face criminal
and administrative action from the
California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control after a minor decoy
operation conducted recently in
Pacifica and San Bruno.
During a minor decoy operation, a
someone under 21 is sent into a
licensed ABC business to attempt to
purchase an alcoholic beverage. If the
employee of the business allows the
decoy to purchase alcohol, that person
is arrested.
In addition to criminal charges being
pressed against the employee for sell-
ing the alcoholic beverage, the busi-
ness will face administrative action
against their alcohol license by ABC.
The recent effort was funded through a
grant from the 21 COAST Task Force
by the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Four businesses sold alcohol to
minors during the operation: Arco,
1799 El Camino Real, San Bruno;
Quick Mart, 2480 Skyline Blvd.,
Pacifica; Ernies Liquors, 757 Hickey
Blvd., Pacifica; and Quick Stop: 575

Sequoia district prevails
in discrimination case
A jury sided with the Sequoia Union
High School District Tuesday in a 2010
discrimination lawsuit from a teacher.
In October 2010, Manuel Delagado
filed a lawsuit against Sequoia claim-
ing discrimination, failure to accom-
modate his requests or engage in good
faith in accordance to rules under the
California Fair Employment and
Housing Act. This week a jury came
back with a verdict for Sequoia.
Delgados claim stemmed from
August 2008 when the computer class-
es he taught were assigned to another
teacher, according to the lawsuit. Then
Delgado was assigned to teach classes
outside of his teaching credential.
Delgado followed by getting the
required math credential. In August
2009, he was assigned five classes
three algebra and two working on the
California High School Exit Exam
preparation English course. The fol-
lowing month, Delgado requested and
was denied a self evaluation for the
school year.
After that, Delgados requests for
changes in work accommodations due
to stress and anxiety were not granted.
A formal request was submitted in
March 2010 to the district office but
was not granted.
The district found his request to be
insufficient to require a change,
according to the lawsuit. Numerous
requests for these accommodations and
denials followed through early August
2010.
Delgado was requesting general
damages as well as numerous requests
for injunctive relief.

A former San Mateo man was sentenced to
20 years in prison yesterday for molesting his
two stepdaughters over several years while the
family lived in the city.
Robert Sparhawk, 48, pleaded no contest in
October to three counts of child molestation to
avoid a trial that could have sent him to prison
for life. On Wednesday, Sparhawk received a
20-year term agreed upon as part of the nego-
tiated plea deal. He must serve 85 percent
before being parole eligible and register as a
sex offender. Restitution to the victims will be
determined at a later date.
Sparhawk reportedly abused the 12- and 11-
year-old daughters of his new wife between
2003 and 2007 but the incidents were not
reported until 2011 after the family had moved
to Palo Alto.
The children did not tell their mother
because they did not want to disrupt her happy
marriage, according to prosecutors.
One girl eventually told a friend who con-
tacted authorities and Sparhawk admitted the
molestation during a phone call set up by law
enforcement, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Sparhawk has been in custody without bail
since his arrest.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown per-
suaded Californians to back his November tax
initiative, and now they are rewarding him
with a record high job-approval rating along
with new faith in the states scal future,
according to a poll released Wednesday from
the Public Policy Institute of California.
The poll nds Browns job approval has hit
48 percent after the passage of Proposition
30, the initiative that raised the statewide
sales tax by a quarter cent and raised income
tax rates for people who make more than
$250,000 a year. The Democratic governors
approval rating is up from 42 percent in
October and a low of 34 percent in February
and March of 2011.
Nearly half of
Californians surveyed by
PPIC said they feel better
about the states budget
situation because of
Proposition 30. That rate
of optimism mirrors the
sentiment before the
recession hit California.
Twenty-three percent said
the passage of Proposition
30 has made them more
pessimistic about the budget, and 28 percent
said it has not changed their views.
Californians are even giving the state
Legislature improved grades, sending law-
makers job approval rating to 34 percent
among all adults, surpassing 30 percent for
the rst time since January 2008.

Pedestrians crossing El Camino Real at a
crosswalk that doesnt happen to be at a light
can have a challenging time, particularly in
Millbrae where the state highway is six lanes.
Recently, the city has ramped up efforts to
patrol the area and increase drivers awareness
of the pedestrians in hopes of creating safer
conditions.
Lt. Ed Barberini, chief of police services for
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
Millbrae Bureau, said the department hasnt
had any major incidents recently but wanted
to raise awareness.
We have noticed if there is an area to
improve safety and awareness, [pedestrian
crossing on El Camino Real] is one of them,
he said.
Millbrae has been putting signs out on El
Camino Real and moving them to different
locations. There has also been extra enforce-
ment.
The pedestrian crosswalk safety program
along El Camino Real will continue through
Friday, Dec. 21. During the increased efforts,
there will be signs posted, the use of social
media reminding people of the effort, verbal
warnings to motorists and pedestrians and
citations issued when appropriate. A pedestri-
an decoy program is tentatively scheduled to
be held Friday, Dec. 21 after the warnings
effort is implemented.
Were not trying to trap people. We write
enough tickets, said Barberini. Although
there will be tickets, we simply want everyone
to be safe behind the wheel and on the
street.
Although the program is for two weeks,
Millbrae police continually work with the
citys traffic engineering department and
Caltrans to monitor pedestrian and motorist
safety along El Camino Real.
Millbrae is getting a new trafc light at the
intersection of Victoria Avenue and El Camino
Real shortly. Getting that approved and set up
took nearly 10 years, said City Engineer Khee
Lim. There is also talks of possibly adding a
light to the Millwood Drive intersection, he
said.

LOS ANGELES Californias $2.1 billion
adult education system is a disjointed hodge-
podge of courses, fees and faculty and should
be overhauled to make it consistent and
focused statewide, the state Legislative
Analysts Ofce said in a report released
Wednesday.
The 28-page document termed adult educa-
tion as a program adrift and recommended
that the state Legislature take steps to make it
more coherent and accountable to taxpayers
and students.
About 300 adult education programs serv-
ing an estimated 1.5 million people exist in
the state, largely provided by local school dis-
tricts and the states 112 community colleges.
Among the subjects taught: English as a sec-
ond language, remedial reading, writing and
math, high school equivalency, U.S. citizen-
ship, vocational training, effective parenting,
tness classes and enrichment courses for sen-
ior citizens such as ceramics.
That mission is too broad, the legislative
analyst said. The purpose should be narrowed
to those courses that help adults integrate into
society and the workforce and classes such as
senior citizen enrichment and tness classes
should be dropped.
The investigation found discrepancies
between course fees, entrance requirements
and faculty standards between community
colleges and school districts. Lawmakers
should adopt one policy for all adult education
programs, including standardized courses
similar to the state university systems, the
report recommended.
The report also found that some colleges
mix adult education students who do not earn
credit in classes with degree-seeking students,
and some give college credit for adult ed
classes such as elementary algebra, a ninth-
grade high school course.
Report: Adult education needs restructuring
By Charles J. Gans
You dont have to be a jazz acionado to
recognize Take Five, the smoky instrumen-
tal by the Dave Brubeck Quartet that instant-
ly evokes swinging bachelor pads, hi- sys-
tems and cool nightclubs of the 1950s and
60s.
Take Five was a musical milestone a
deceptively complex jazz composition that
managed to crack the Billboard singles chart
and introduce a new, adventurous sound to
millions of listeners.
In a career that spanned almost all of
American jazz since World War II, Brubecks
celebrated quartet combined exotic, challeng-
ing tempos with classical inuences to create
lasting standards.
The pianist and composer behind the group,
Brubeck died Wednesday of heart failure at a
hospital in Norwalk,
Conn. He was a day shy of
his 92nd birthday.
Brubeck believed that
jazz presented the best
face of America to the
world.
Jazz is about freedom
within discipline, he said
in a 2005 interview with
the Associated Press.
Usually a dictatorship like in Russia and
Germany will prevent jazz from being played
because it just seemed to represent freedom,
democracy and the United States.
Many people dont understand how disci-
plined you have to be to play jazz. ... And that
is really the idea of democracy freedom
within the Constitution or discipline. You
dont just get out there and do anything you
want.
The common thread that ran through
Brubecks work was breaking down the barri-
ers between musical genres particularly
jazz and classical music. He was inspired by
his mother, a classical pianist, and later by his
composition teacher, the French composer
Darius Mihaud, who encouraged his interest
in jazz and advised him to keep your ears
open as he traveled the world.
When you hear Bach or Mozart, you hear
perfection, Brubeck said in 2005.
Remember that Bach, Mozart and Beethoven
were great improvisers. I can hear that in their
music.
Brubeck was always fascinated by the
rhythms of everyday life. In a discussion with
biographer Doug Ramsey, he recalled the
rhythms he heard while working as a boy on
cattle drives at the northern California ranch
managed by his father.
The rst time he heard polyrhythms the
use of two rhythms at the same time was on
horseback.

WASHINGTON It may be just a
bluff or a bargaining ploy, but the White
House is signaling that President Barack
Obama is willing to let the country go
over the scal cliff, a hard-line negoti-
ating strategy aimed at winning conces-
sions from Republicans on taxes.
If Washington really does fail to avert
the looming series of tax hikes and
spending cuts, the White House will por-
tray Republicans as the culprits for
insisting on protecting tax cuts for the
wealthy, an effort the administration is
laying the groundwork for now.
This is a choice of the Republican
Party, said Dan Pfeiffer, White House
communications director. If they are
willing to do higher rates on the wealthy,
theres a lot we can talk about. And if
they are not, then theyll push us over the
cliff.
But going over the cliff also would be
full of risk for a president fresh off re-
election and facing at least two more
years of divided government.
Ending the year without a deal could
roil nancial markets and dent consumer
confidence just as the economy is
strengthening. It could make it harder
for Obama to get Republican help on his
second-term priorities like overhauling
the immigration system and the nations
tax code, or in getting potential Cabinet
replacements conrmed.
And it would signal to the country that
the presidents campaign prediction that
the GOP fever would break following
his re-election was a pipe dream.
House Speaker John Boehner says
Obama is playing a risky game. If the
president really wants to avoid sending
the economy over the scal cliff, he has
done nothing to demonstrate it, the
speaker said.
But Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner appeared to signal that the
administration might do just that go
past the cliff if necessary.
In an interview Wednesday with
CNBC, Geithner was asked if the
administration was prepared to go over
the scal cliff if taxes do not increase on
the wealthy. Oh, absolutely, he said.
Theres no prospect in an agreement
that doesnt involve those rates going up
on the top 2 percent of the wealthiest of
Americans, Geithner added.
He also said the administration was
also prepared to walk away from a deal
that did not include raising the debt ceil-
ing.
We are not prepared to have the
American economy held hostage to peri-
odic threats ... to default on our obliga-
tions, Geithner said.
Obama could risk going over cliff
By David Espo
WASHINGTON For the rst time in days, President
Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner spoke by
phone Wednesday about the fiscal
cliff that threatens to knock the econo-
my into recession, raising the prospect
of fresh negotiations to prevent tax
increases and spending cuts set to kick
in with the new year.
Ofcials provided no details of the
conversation, which came on the same
day the president, hewing to a hard line,
publicly warned congressional
Republicans not to inject the threat of a
government default into the already complex issue.
Its not a game I will play, Obama told a group of busi-
ness leaders as Republicans struggled to nd their footing
in talks with a recently re-elected president and unied
congressional Democrats.
Among the Republicans, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma
became the latest to break ranks and say he could support
Obamas demand for an increase in tax rates at upper
incomes as part of a comprehensive plan to cut federal
decits.
Across the Capitol, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor
said Republicans want to sit down with the president. We
want to talk specics. He noted that the GOP had made a
compromise offer earlier in the week and the White House
had rejected it.

WASHINGTON The Homeland Security
Department paid for an underwater robot in a
Midwest city with no major rivers or lakes
nearby, a hog catcher in rural Texas and a sh
tank in a small Texas town, according to a new
congressional report highlighting what it
described as wasteful spending of tax money
intended for counterterrorism purposes.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said in his 54-
page report that while much of the spending for
the departments Urban Area Security Initiative
appeared to be allowed under the programs
rules, it was still inappropriate in an age of
budget austerity and as the federal government
faces a $16 trillion national debt.
Every dollar misspent in the name of secu-
rity weakens our already precarious economic
condition, indebts us to foreign nations, and
shackles the future of our children and grand-
children, Coburn said.
The report focused on UASI spending in the
last few years in Arizona, California, Colorado,
Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Ohio,
Oklahoma and the National Capitol Region,
which includes Washington and parts of
Maryland and Virginia. Among the projects
Coburn found questionable were:
$21 for a sh tank in Seguin, Texas, a
small town outside of San Antonio.
$98,000 for an underwater robot in
Columbus, Ohio, where there are no major
rivers and few lakes nearby.
$24,000 for a latrine on wheels in Fort
Worth, Texas.

a $285,933 grant in Keene, N.H., a small New
England town that is home to an annual pump-
kin festival that draws up to 70,000 people.

$9,000 in signage, at Lucas Oil Stadium in

I
n a bid to cut the states health care bills,
the Brown administration will begin
shuttering the Healthy Families insur-
ance program for low-income children on Jan.
1. More than 850,000 kids will be shifted over
the course of the year into HMOs that partici-
pate in Medi-Cal, Californias version of the
federally subsidized Medicaid program. It
may be too late now for the Legislature to res-
cue Healthy Families from its untimely and
potentially disruptive end, even though law-
makers are heading to Sacramento on Monday
to begin a special session devoted to health-
care issues. But state lawmakers and federal
Medicaid ofcials should do as much as they
can to ensure that these childrens parents
wont be left scrambling desperately to nd a
doctor or a dentist when their kids need one.
Healthy Families provides insurance to chil-
dren in families too poor to afford private cov-
erage but not quite poor enough to qualify for
Medi-Cal, which is available to those whose
earnings dont exceed the federal poverty line
($19,000 for a family of three in 2012). The
program receives more generous federal subsi-
dies than Medi-Cal, yet its more expensive
for the state because it offers doctors, dentists
and hospitals higher rates than Medi-Cal pays.
Those higher payments lead more providers to
participate in Healthy Families, making it eas-
ier for the children it covers to obtain care.
Despite the success of Healthy Families,
Gov. Jerry Brown persuaded the Legislature
earlier this year to end it and cover its bene-
ciaries through Medi-Cals managed-care pro-
gram instead. The goal was to save an estimat-
ed $13 million in the rst half of 2013 and
potentially even more in the future, narrowing
the states budget gap. The change also prom-
ised two potential benets for low-income
families: Medi-Cal covers some healthcare
costs that Healthy Families doesnt, and its
premiums and co-pays are lower.
Many childrens advocates in the state, how-
ever, say that the easier access to doctors in
Healthy Families trumps Medi-Cals superior
coverage and lower out-of-pocket costs. In
some rural areas, new Medi-Cal patients may
have to leave the county to nd certain types
of providers. Thats too much to ask of fami-
lies who are barely scraping by, particularly if
their children have chronic diseases or mental
health issues. Imagine being a single mother
with a full-time job, no car and a 10-year-old
daughter who needs dialysis, but the only
provider willing to treat her is 30 miles away.
With the 2010 federal healthcare law about
to force tumultuous changes in the industry,
now is an especially bad time to eliminate
Healthy Families. In little more than a year,
millions more low-income Californians will
become eligible for Medi-Cal if the state
extends it to those earning up to 133 percent
of the poverty line, as provided by the new
law. That expansion would put even more
strain on an overburdened program. At the
same time, new subsidies for private health
insurance will become available for low- and
moderate-income families. Besides, the can-
cellation of the program will not improve the
states nances any time soon. Upset about the
programs demise, Republicans blocked the
renewal of a tax on managed-care plans that
had helped pay for it, costing the state nearly
$200 million annually.
Ideally, lawmakers would move swiftly to
preserve Healthy Families and the correspon-
ding tax for at least one more year. That
would allow low-income children and their
parents to move together into new insurance
coverage in 2014, whether it be through Medi-
Cal or heavily subsidized private plans. The
prospects of such an 11th-hour rescue are
slim, however; the state has already sent
notices to many Healthy Families beneciaries
telling them that their coverage is changing
Jan. 1.
If Healthy Families cant be saved, its
imperative that federal ofcials withhold
approval of the states plan until the state
shows that the programs beneciaries will
continue to have the same access to care as
before. Although some Healthy Families par-
ticipants are covered by insurers that also offer
Medi-Cal HMOs, many others will have to be
placed with new insurers. And just because an
insurer offers a Medi-Cal HMO, that doesnt
mean its network of providers can handle an
inux of new patients.
The state plans to shift Healthy Families
recipients into Medi-Cal in four phases, start-
ing in January with those who can move to
Medi-Cal HMOs run by the same insurers and
served by the same networks of doctors that
serve them today. Soon after, though, the state
will have to deal with children whose current
doctors, dentists or therapists dont participate
in Medi-Cal. Meanwhile, children newly eligi-
ble for coverage will go straight into Medi-Cal
HMOs, even in areas where access to care is
in doubt.
State ofcials say kids whose HMOs cant
meet their needs will be allowed to seek care
from out-of-network providers. Thats predi-
cated on the risky assumption, however, that
these families will be able to nd any
providers in their communities willing to treat
patients at Medi-Cals low rates.
The federal Department of Health and
Human Services and state lawmakers should-
nt hesitate to slam the brakes on the transition
if the state cannot preserve kids access to
care. And as Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, has suggested, the
administration needs a way to monitor the per-
formance of Medi-Cal HMOs after theyve
started adding former Healthy Families bene-
ciaries to see if problems emerge. That moni-
toring capability should be in place in a coun-
ty before Healthy Families is terminated there.
The Brown administration seems deter-
mined to phase out Healthy Families as rapid-
ly as it can. Making sure low-income kids
have access to the healthcare they need, how-
ever, is more important than maximizing the
potential savings to state government. If the
state must bring Healthy Families to a prema-
ture end, lawmakers in Sacramento and regu-
lators in Washington should keep a close eye
on the process to make sure no children are
pushed into a coverage abyss.
7-Eleven controversy in San Mateo
Editor,
Thank you to Daily Journal reporter Bill
Silverfarb for keeping our neighborhood and
our fellow San Mateo neighborhoods informed
as to the goings on in the 7-Eleven/San Mateo
Heights controversy.
While there are a lot of details already
known, apparently there may still be some pos-
sible shady ones to be uncovered. As responsi-
ble journalists like you do your thing, residents
of this neighborhood, like me, feel that we
may have a Davids chance against this multi-
billion-dollar corporate Goliath who appears
unconcerned about how it impacts our quiet
neighborhood (aside from keeping us well-
stocked with Big Gulps and cigarettes). While
7-Eleven claims that they stand to lose $8 mil-
lion (at this point) if the permit is revoked, the
truth is that they were informed by the city of
San Mateo almost three months ago that they
should consider stopping any further changes
to the property until the controversy is cleared
up. They didnt. It seems to me that in the
same way Goliath cursed with disdain toward
David, perhaps 7-Eleven has done the same.
Again, thanks for keeping San Mateo
informed.

San Mateo
Cliff-hanging Congress
Editor,
The newly-elected Congress faces a moun-
tain of unresolved issues knowing that any leg-
islation it passes to solve them must hurdle an
already cliff-hanging budget that lacks funds
to meet the challenges ahead.
Republicans want to make deep budget cuts
across the board but offer no solutions for the
nancial disaster it would bring to millions of
retired seniors, the working poor and handi-
capped.
Democrats want to save those same millions
from losing their nancial and health care ben-
ets they earned during their years in the
workforce and were promised to receive dur-
ing their retirement years.
The results from the 2012 election clearly
indicate that voters expect members of
Congress in both sides of the aisle to make
compromises on all issues, not just one.
The time is now for both parties to put the
working harness on the symbolic elephant
and donkey and get them moving to put the
nation on the road toward economic recovery.

A library worth
checking out
I
f libraries were comparable to highly-
ranked restaurants, the Redwood City
facility would be the French Laundry,
Alinea and El Bulli all rolled into one.
Fortunately for patrons of the Redwood City
branch, they need neither a reservation two
months out or a tall stack of hundreds as
bribery for a seat inside.
The Redwood City Library announced this
week it is the recipient of a ve-star rating from
the Library Journal Index of Public Library
Service, making it one of only two statewide
with such high marks
and the top-rated of
any size for the
entirety of California.
Thats right; not
one of the libraries,
but the library.
Take a bow,
Redwood City!
Not to knock any
of San Mateo
Countys other
libraries, but
Redwood City is in
pretty sparse compa-
ny locally, according to the journal.
The San Mateo County Library made the
cut with four stars which is certainly nothing
to sneeze at but ve stars? Now thats really
saying something.
Frankly, Im not sure exactly what the
Library Journal Index of Public Library
Service is but in an announcement by
Redwood City Library Director Dave Genesy
he calls it the premier national rating system.
Who am I to quibble with that?
The rating is pretty awesome for several rea-
sons, primarily the proof that people still read
actual books. Sure, many folks probably look
to the library for lots of other needs a
parental breather during childrens reading
hour, pilfering of free WiFi, perusing a cornu-
copia of magazines to keep up on the latest
Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart scandal,
the downloading of e-books onto readers and
movies onto tablets. Did you know the library
offers an e-reader petting zoo to give the
devices a try? And Wii gaming? This is not the
library of my youth. But somehow, actual
bound books are still the backbone of a brick-
and-mortar library.
In all fairness, books themselves arent the
only reason for the ve-star ranking. The score
also includes per capita measures of how many
things are borrowed, how many people visit,
the types of programs, public Internet use and
attendance at events. Taken together, this means
the people in Redwood City must really like
their library. Heck, they must love their library.
Now the challenge for the Redwood City
Library is maintaining. The biggest problem
with being the best is remaining the best.
On the other hand, the countys other
libraries have the challenge of netting those
stars. The journal concedes its own ratings
have nothing to do with quality, excellence or
service to the community. Those intangibles
are near impossible to put a price on.
That said, there are a few things the other
branches might consider doing to drum up
attention. Hot librarians, for one. Sure, its a
clich. It may also perk up those attendance
levels. Extra credit if those librarians can nd
new and inventive ways to tell loud patrons to
Ssssh!
A new cataloging system is also a nice
touch. Dewey Decimal is so yesterday. Lets
go with straight alphabetical. Or colored
spines. Number of pages. You get the idea.
Then again, vintage is pretty popular.
Perhaps a return to microche, just for old
times sake? Doing so could also increase the
number of library visits because patrons will
need that much more time to gure out how
to actually use microche. Same goes with
card catalogs and encyclopedias hey, what
are those?
Or, gimmicks aside, maybe those who
havent checked out any of the countys
libraries lately should give them a whirl. Stars
are fantastic but a personal visit is probably
the best, and certainly the most personal, way
to see how they stack up.

cent, to $36.46 after the bank said it
plans to eliminate more than 11,000
jobs, or about 4 percent of its workforce,
to cut expenses and improve efciency.
Travelers surged $3.47, or 4.9 percent, to
$74 after it announced plans to resume
stock buybacks. Travelers temporarily
suspended repurchases following
Superstorm Sandy while it assessed its
exposure to damage claims.
We can probably solve this in about a
week, its not that tough, Obama said in
lunchtime remarks to the Business
Roundtable in Washington. The com-
ments, made just before noon, helped
push the market higher, said Quincy
Crosby, a market strategist at Prudential
Financial.
Stocks have largely traded sideways
for two weeks as investors wait for
developments from Washington on cru-
cial budget talks to avoid the scal
cliff, a series of sharp government
spending cuts and tax increases sched-
uled to start Jan. 1 unless an agreement
is reached to cut the budget decit.
Economists say that the measures, if
implemented, could push the U.S. back
into recession.
Apple was among the decliners,
falling $37.05, or 6.4 percent, to
$538.79. Stifel Financial analyst Aaron
Rakers said the drop was in part due to
comments from AT&T Mobility chief
executive officer Ralph de La Vega,
which suggested that smartphone activa-
tions this quarter were lagging the same
period a year ago. The stock has now
dropped 23 percent since closing at a
record $702.10 in September.
Stocks are still up on the year, after the
Federal Reserve extended its bond-buy-
ing program in September, offsetting
concern that the European debt crisis
was set to spread. The Dow has gained 7
percent and S&P 500 has advanced 12
percent.
The market will hold on to its gains
for the year. Given the uncertainty I
dont see any compelling reasons for an
increase, said Brian Gendreau, a market
strategist with Cetera Financial Group, a
Los Angeles-based broker. But that
could change in a blink. If theres better-
than-expected news from these negotia-
tions, the market could pop.
A Chinese government pledge to
maintain policies intended to strengthen
the worlds second-largest economy
helped raise optimism about global
growth. Chinas Shanghai Composite
Index jumped 2.9 percent to 2,031.91.
Hong Kongs Hang Seng ended 2.2 per-
cent higher at 22,270.91.
A private survey showed Wednesday
that U.S. businesses added fewer work-
ers in November, in part because
Superstorm Sandy shut down factories,
retail stores, and other companies.
Payroll processor ADP said employers
added 118,000 jobs last month. Thats
below Octobers total of 157,000, which
was revised lower. Investors will also
look to the monthly jobs report from the
Labor Department Friday for more
information about how the economy is
doing.
Stocks gain on cliff hope
Wall Street
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK Citigroup said
Wednesday that it will cut 11,000 jobs, a
bold early move by new CEO Michael
Corbat.
The cuts amount to about 4 percent of
Citis workforce. The bulk of them,
about 6,200 jobs, will come from Citis
consumer banking unit, which handles
everyday functions like branches and
checking accounts.
Citi said that it will sell or scale back
consumer operations in Pakistan,
Paraguay, Romania, Turkey and
Uruguay and focus on 150 cities around
the world that have the highest growth
potential in consumer banking.
The bank, the third-largest in the
country by assets, did not say how many
jobs it will cut in the United States.
About 1,900 job cuts will come from
the institutional clients group, which
includes the investment bank. The com-
pany will also cut jobs in technology and
operations by using more automation
and moving jobs to lower-cost loca-
tions.
Investors appeared to like the move.
They sent Citi stock up $2.17, or 6.3 per-
cent, to close at $36.46 Wednesday.
Job cuts are a familiar template in a
banking industry still under the long
shadow of the 2008 nancial crisis.
Banks are searching for ways to make
money as new regulations crimp some of
their former revenue streams, like trad-
ing for their own prot or marketing
credit cards to college students.
Customers are still nervous about bor-
rowing money in an uncertain economy.
And they are still ling lawsuits over
industry practices like risky mortgage
lending that helped cause the crisis.
Citi fared worse than others. It nearly
collapsed, had to take two taxpayer-
funded bailout loans, and became the
poster child for banks that had grown too
big and disorderly.
Citigroup to cut 11,000 jobs
Starbucks to open 1,500 more cafes in the U.S.
NEW YORK Another Starbucks may soon pop up
around the corner, with the worlds biggest coffee company
planning to add at least 1,500 cafes in the U.S. over the next
ve years.
The plan, which would boost the number of Starbucks
cafes in the country by about 13 percent, was announced at
the companys investor day in New York Wednesday. Taking
into account Canada and South America, the company plans
to add a total of 3,000 new cafes in its broader Americas
region.
Worldwide, the company says it will have more than
20,000 cafes by 2014, up from its current count of about
18,000. Much of that growth will come from China, which
the company says will surpass Canada as its second-biggest
market.
Although Starbucks has been intensifying its growth over-
seas and building its packaged-goods business back at home,
the majority of its revenue still comes from its more than
11,100 cafes in the United States.
Amazon launches Kindle content service for kids
NEW YORK Amazon is launching a subscription serv-
ice for childrens games, videos and books aimed at getting
more kids to use its Kindle Fire tablet devices.
Amazon.com Inc. announced Wednesday that the Kindle
FreeTime Unlimited service will be available in the next few
weeks as part of an automatic software update.
Amazon said subscribers will have access to thousands
of pieces of content, though the company did not give a spe-
cic number. Kids will be able to watch, play and read any
of the content available to them as many times as they want.
Parents can set time limits, however.
The service, aimed at kids aged 3 to 8, will cost $4.99 per
month for one child. Itll cost $2.99 per child for members
of Amazon Prime, the companys premium shipping service.
Amazon Prime costs $79 per year for free shipping of mer-
chandise purchased in the companys online store.

Westmoor got a game-high 24 points from
Wai Min in the win over the Wildcats. Errol
Fernandez went for 21, while Eric Liang and
John Mayuga each scored 14.
And before you say S.I. was not a full
strength because a handful of players are still
playing football, keep this in mind: the last time
these two teams met was 2009, when the
Wildcats put a whipping on the Rams, 61-20.
Min and Fernandez, both seniors, are three-
year varsity players and the leaders on this team.
They are joined by a core of players from last
years 8-17 squad, including Liang, Mayuga,
Derek Duong and Cameron Cook.
It wont be easy for the Rams, however, as
they will likely battle El Camino for the PALs
North Division title. The Colts are coming off a
Bay Division championship and an appearance
in the CCS Division III championship game,
where they lost to Sacred Heart Cathedral, 71-
53.
The Colts also return a couple of key pieces
in swingman Michael Smith and point guard
Elijah White. Its still early, but Smith is averag-
ing 27 points per game following a 34-point
performance against California-San Ramon.
White is averaging 18 points per game so far.
Half Moon Bay could also factor in the title
mix. The Cougars are also coming off a CCS
championship appearance and are off to a 3-0
start this season. The Cougars have ve players
averaging nearly six points a game, led by
Corey Cilias 18 points per contest. Rico Nuno
is averaging 11.
In the South, Burlingame appears to again be
the team to beat, regardless of an offseason
coaching change. The Panthers play arguably
the toughest non-league schedule of any team in
the PAL and will face four of the seven WCAL
teams in the next month. Despite a 1-2 start,
their losses have come to Riordan and Righetti.
Mills, the loss to Bellarmine not withstanding,
is also off to a good start to the 2012-13 cam-
paign with a 2-1 record. The Vikings picked up
two solid wins in the Cupertino tournament,
beating Homestead and Mountain View.
Based on Mills loss to Bellarmine, does that
mean the Vikings are in for a rough time this
season? Not at all. Mills will still be in the mix
for a league title, will have their shot in the PAL
tournament and always stand a good chance of
advancing to at least the seminals of CCS.
They have that capability every year.
But if a PAL team manages to beat a WCAL
squad, it gets peoples attention and ratchets up
expectations. Westmoor is now on the radar and
no one will overlook the Rams the rest of the
season.

LOUNGE
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA He was adopted as a
newborn, has a fully grown pet tortoise named
Sammy, and sports 10 or 11 tattoos by his own
count covering much of his upper body.
Colin Kaepernick is nding out fast that just
about everything becomes fair game and
very much public when youre a starting
quarterback in the NFL. Personal, profession-
al and otherwise. Since the second-year pro
took over as San Franciscos starter three
games ago, further details of his life have
emerged.
I get tattoos because I like them, not for
anybody else, Kaepernick said when asked if
he understands the intrigue of a tattooed quar-
terback. I dont know. I dont worry about
that.
Kaepernick said Wednesday he understands
there are pressures on and off the eld with his
job, but prefers to move forward this week
from a disappointing loss at St. Louis and get
ready for Sundays home game against the
Miami Dolphins.
Kaepernick accepts the added attention and
scrutiny that comes his way, along with the
successes.
Thats something that I dont worry about,
he said. Im here to play football. I dont pay
attention to what the medias writing or what
people are saying. Im here to play, and go out
and perform on Sundays.
And Kaepernick knows he had better help
the Niners (8-3-1) bounce back from a 16-13
overtime loss on the road to the Rams
because coach Jim Harbaugh still will only go
as far as to say Kaepernick is the starter again
this week, nothing beyond there. The reigning
NFL coach of the year hasnt ruled out return-
ing to Alex Smith before seasons end.
Its a situation, whatever Coach Harbaugh
chooses, thats the guy were rolling with, left
tackle Joe Staley said. Were all worried
about getting Ws, were worried about doing
our jobs to the best of our ability. We dont
have time to worry about favorites.
Kaepernicks our guy. We support him 100
percent. Thats how it is.
Harbaugh again accepted blame Wednesday
for an errant pitch in the fourth quarter that
was fumbled by Kaepernick deep in 49ers ter-
ritory and that allowed St. Louis to tie the
game with a touchdown and two-point conver-
sion.
Harbaugh said Kaepernick still can learn as
much from plays that go awry as from those
that work. Even Rams coach Jeff Fisher won-
dered afterward why San Francisco called
such a risky play in that situation.
The play we called in the huddle was a
loser, and we didnt have an audible for that
play, Harbaugh said. The way it turned out,
thats a low-hanging fruit, What the heck are
they doing? You learn from it. It feels like
somebody reached into your chest and stom-
ach and started pulling the innards out without
using any anesthesia.
Not that Harbaugh actually called that one
that was offensive coordinator Greg Roman
but he did relay the call to Kaepernick
through the headset and took full responsibili-
ty for it.
Kaepernick isnt blaming anybody. He will
be the rst one to acknowledge he has plenty
of aws to go with his big, playmaking arm.
Now, Kaepernick is back to work getting
ready for what has turned into a key game with
the Dolphins considering Seattle won at
Chicago in overtime Sunday to put pressure on
the NFC West-leading Niners. San Francisco
plays at the Seahawks (7-5) on Dec. 23.
Cant make mistakes. Thats the biggest
thing, Kaepernick said of what he took from
Sunday. For the most part I felt my reads
were good, got through progressions well.
Thats something I want to continue to do
going forward.
There havent been many miscues so far.
Kaepernick took over as starter in the second
half of San Franciscos rst game with the
Rams, a 24-24 tie on Nov. 11, after Smith suf-
fered a rst-half concussion and the 2011 sec-
ond-round draft pick has kept the job even
after Smith was medically cleared to return.
Kaepernick is 69 for 106 for 888 yards and
three touchdowns with one interception and a
96.7 passer rating.
Weve got faith and trust in Colin in the
way hes played, Harbaugh said. Therefore,
another start this week.
As starter, Kaepernick being scrutinized
Im here to play
football. I dont
pay attention to
what the media is
writing or what
people are saying.
Im here to play.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Klay Thompson
scored 19 of his 27 points in the third quarter, and
the Golden State Warriors pulled away to beat the
Detroit Pistons 104-97 on Wednesday night.
The Warriors, starting a seven-game road trip
against the Eastern Conference, snapped Detroits
ve-game winning streak at home. Golden State
has won two straight games in Detroit after losing
25 of 29.
Stephen Curry nished with 22 points and 10
assists, his fourth straight 20-10 game, while
David Lee added 20 points and 11 rebounds for
the Warriors.
Tayshaun Prince was the only Pistons starter to
reach double gures, but four reserves scored at
least 10, including 17 from Rodney Stuckey and
15 points and 12 rebounds from Andre
Drummond.
Golden State looked as if it would take control
early, jumping out to a 19-7 lead, but neither team
could shoot well enough to hang on to any sus-
tained advantage in the rst half. The Warriors hit
35 percent from the oor, but that was better than
Detroits 33.9 percent and enough to take a 40-38
advantage into the intermission.
The Warriors, though, scored 27 points in the
rst eight minutes of the third. Thompson scored
14 points in the burst, and Curry added nine.
Thompson kept it going, nishing the period by
blocking Greg Monroes jumper from behind,
then hitting a 3-pointer to give Golden State a 79-
61 advantage going into the fourth.
Two dunks by Drummond got Detroit within
83-72, but Thompson answered with a long
jumper. Detroit appeared out of the game, but the
Pistons hit seven straight shots to pull within 98-95
with a minute to play. Golden State, though, put
the game away from the free throw line.
Detroit intentionally fouled Andris Biedrins late
in the third quarter. He missed the rst shot badly,
made the second and was immediately taken out
of the game. Biedrins didnt play in the fourth
quarter, but the Warriors did the same thing to
Drummond late in the game.

featherweight title and Pacquiao
came out and oored Marquez in the
rst round. Marquez got up only to
go down two more times in the
round, yet somehow managed to end
the round on his feet.
Marquez would not only survive,
but come back to dominate the later
part of the ght. He salvaged a draw
on the judges scorecards, the rst of
three decisions he felt unjustly
favored Pacquiao.
They met again at 130 pounds in
2008 and the ght was almost as
close. Pacquiao won one scorecard,
Marquez the other, while the third
judge favored Pacquiao by one point,
giving him a split-decision win.
Then they fought last year at 144
pounds and Pacquiao won a majority
decision that angered both Marquez
and the crowd at the MGM Grand
arena, which booed heavily when it
was announced.
Everybody knows what happened
the last few ghts, Marquez said. I
want to be more aggressive this time,
but with intelligence, because Manny
is a very dangerous ghter.
That Pacquiao is facing Marquez
for a fourth time instead of ghting a
rematch with Bradley, who was
awarded a decision over Pacquiao in
June that was roundly dismissed by
most in boxing, speaks both to the
economics of boxing and the fact the
undefeated Bradley doesnt have
much of a following.
Marquez brings the Hispanic audi-
ence, which should translate into
higher pay-per-view sales, and he
also brings a well-earned reputation
as the one ghter who can solve
Pacquaios somewhat unorthodox
style. He might be an aging ghter at
39, but Pacquiao also has been show-
ing the signs of his 17-year career in
professional boxing.
And while Pacquiao is widely
acclaimed as one of the great offen-
sive ghters of his era, Marquez
might be one of the best counter-
punchers. All three of their ghts
have had tremendous action, and
theres no reason to believe the fourth
ght will be any different.
Thats especially true if Pacquiao
who renounced his drinking and
partying ways after having marital
problems last year trained as hard
for this ght as he and Roach say.
I think he has the re underneath
him that he used to have, Roach
said. He had four knockdowns in
training camp, which were his rst
since the (Miguel) Cotto ght. He
wasnt so compassionate in sparring
this time.
The ght will be at 147 pounds, a
full 22 pounds heavier than the box-
ers were in 2004. Marquez, in partic-
ular, appears to have bulked up, lead-
ing Roach to question how natural his
weight gain really was.
Marquez wore a bulky coat while
meeting with reporters Wednesday as
if he were trying to conceal his
physique.
Maybe Im bigger, but I need to
be fast, and I need to be quick to win
this ght, Marquez said.

Bears had a 34-37 record in
Tedfords nal 5 1/2 years, leading
to his dismissal.
Dykes, the son of former Texas
Tech coach Spike Dykes, is known
as an offensive mastermind, who
runs a spread system that he honed
as coordinator under Mike Leach at
Texas Tech. Dykes later spent three
seasons as offensive coordinator at
Arizona under Mike Stoops before
becoming head coach at Louisiana
Tech before the 2010 season. He
also coached two years as an assis-
tant at Kentucky.
Dykes coached one of the nations
most prolic offenses at Louisiana
Tech this year with the Bulldogs
leading the nation with 51.5 points
per contest and ranking second with
577.9 yards per game.
They opened 9-1, losing only 59-
57 to Texas A&M, and were in posi-
tion possibly to make it into a BCS
bowl. But Louisiana Tech lost the
nal two games of the regular sea-
son to Utah State and San Jose State
and now wont even play in any
bowl.
La Tech was offered a spot in the
Independence Bowl last Saturday
but wanted to wait before accepting
in case they got a better bid. The
Independence Bowl invited Ohio
instead and the Bulldogs were left
out when Northern Illinois got into
the Orange Bowl, knocking
Oklahoma out of the BCS.
Oklahoma State (7-5) then lled
the Big 12s nal spot in the Heart
of Dallas Bowl against Purdue,
while Iowa State (6-6) landed in the
Liberty Bowl to play C-USA cham-
pion Tulsa as an at-large pick and
the Bulldogs were left out.
We want to thank him and his
family for the past three years and
wish them the best in the future,
Louisiana Tech athletic director
Bruce Van De Velde said in a state-
ment. We will move meticulously
and expeditiously in our search for
our next head coach.
There was no immediate word on
the terms of Dykes contract. Cal

Lionel Messi carted
off with bruised knee
BARCELONA, Spain Lionel Messi, gri-
macing in pain, was taken off the eld on a
cart with bone bruise to his left knee as
Barcelona was held to a 0-0 tie by Benca in
a Champions League match on Wednesday
night.
With Barcelona already assured of advanc-
ing to the second round, Messi entered as a
reserve in the 58th minute.
Messis left knee collided with the right
hand of Bencas Artur as he ran onto Gerard
Piques long pass and tried to round the goal-
keeper in the 85th minute. Messi took a left-
footed shot from an angle, then fell to the eld
in pain. He rolled onto his back and held the
knee, then was loaded onto a cart.
Its a bruise, which doctors have been hav-
ing a look at, Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova
said. We now have to wait for the results of
tests, but the feeling is that it isnt more seri-
ous than a knock.

the ball well at all, Harames said. I was very
happy with the execution. Maybe it convinces
them that defense wins games.
Burlingame had to rely on that defense the
rest of the way. The Panthers pushed their lead
back up to as many as eight points in the third
quarter with Loew leading the charge. But
heading into the fourth period, there probably
wasnt a Burlingame fan too comfortable with
just an eight-point advantage.
Los Altos cut that lead in half midway
through the fourth quarter and a minute left in
the game, Conrad Rogers hit a shot to make it
48-46 Burlingame. On the ensuing Panther
possession, Mikel Floro-Cruz was sent to the
free throw line where he made one of two
shots to give his team a 49-46 lead.
And after Los Altos equalizing attempt fell
short, Burlingame could breathe a sigh of
relief. The Panthers will take on Valley
Christian-San Jose in the seminals tonight.
If were good enough, then well go ahead
and win it, Harames said. At this point, its
learning about where were at. [Thursday]
against Valley Christian we nd out more.
And if we get by that game, then well play
another good team on Friday night. Its a
learning experience, but there is always that
factor of, four straight championships. Thats
a factor.

Speaking of Valley Christian, the Warriors
shut out San Mateo in the fourth quarter,
adding to a lead that was already 27 points, to
defeat the Bearcats 71-27 in the Lions Club
Tournaments opening game.
Valley Christians Jay Macintyre led all
scorers with 21 points. San Mateo had only
one player in double digits.
The Warriors jumped out to an 18-6 lead
behind a 9-0 to start the game. But San Mateo
showed signs of respectability against the
West Catholic Athletic League foe. In the sec-
ond quarter, San Mateo was only outscored by
three points.
The second half belonged to the Warriors.
San Mateo shot 23 percent from the oor and
turned the ball over ve straight times to start
the fourth quarter as Valley Christian pulled
away.
The Bearcats will try to bounce back
against Los Altos at 3:30 p.m. today.

Menlo-Atherton head basketball coach Mike
Molieri posed a very simple question to his
troops prior to their opening round game against
Sacred Heart Prep in the Lions Club Tournament.
I asked them if theyve ever beaten those
guys. And they said they hadnt. So, I told them
this would be a good time to win one of these lit-
tle rivalry games for themselves.
It was a battle for Atherton supremacy
Wednesday night at Burlingame High School
and the Bears answered their coachs call by tak-
ing down the 2011 Lions Club runner-up 47-45.
I think they wanted it just a little bit more,
Molieri said of his players. Im very proud of
their effort tonight.
It was one of those games where it was evident
early on that every single possession was going
to play a factor. Consider that after one quarter,
SHP was up 13-10. But come the end of the sec-
ond period, the Bears had ipped the script on the
Gators and the teams went into recess tied at 23.
Come the third quarter, the Gators looked
poised to push ahead. Korbin Kosh scored a cou-
ple of key baskets in the period and it was a
buzzer-beating lay-up gave SHP a 35-31 lead
heading into the nal quarter.
As it turned out, it was exactly where the Bears
wanted them.
Right now, were struggling on offense to be
honest, Molieri said. But I was happy with the
way we were able to keep our composure down
the stretch.
Leading that charge was Blake Olsen who
ew all over the court in the fourth quarter, get-
ting key steals, rebounds and more importantly,
baskets. Olsen scored 10 points in the second
half.
He played the game of his Menlo-Atherton
career, Molieri said.
An Olsen bucket tied the game at 41. And his
steal plus coast-to-coast basket gave M-A a 43-
41 lead with two minutes left in the game. Oliver
Bucka hit a jumper in the lane shortly after to
give the Bears a 45-41.
After a Koch basket made it 45-43, a huge steal
by Jamar Gladdis and subsequent foul sent him
to the line where No. 3 iced the game with a pair
of free throws.
Menlo-Atherton will face Aragon High School
at 8 p.m. Thursday.
Aragon 57, Terra Nova 39
In an intriguing Peninsula Athletic League
matchup, Aragon showed why the basketball
world is buzzing about the Dons.
After the Tigers kept things close for two
quarters, Aragon found its offensive groove and
clamped down on defense come the second to
pull away from Terra Nova 57-39 and advance
to the Lions Club tournament seminals.
They got hot and we turned the ball over,
said Terra Nova head coach Kenny Milch. And
when you let a team like Aragon start getting
things going, they can put up a lot of points in a
hurry. And thats what they did.
Its really early, said Aragon Sam Manu of
the win. Terra Nova, thats their rst game so
theyre better this year than they were last year
at this point. They have more skill players this
year. Terra Nova, when you play them, they
always box out really hard and we knew that.
And in the rst half, we were horrible, basical-
ly. We knew that going in but its one thing to
say it and another to get a big body pressing on
you. So, that was the difference. Once we got
the boxing out done, everything else settled
down.
Aragon got 20 points from Alex Manu in the
win and 16 from Nick Frankel. Sam Halaua
added nine.
Its one of those things we worked on at
practice because on offense, people were just
standing and watching around, Sam Manu
said. And any offense is horrible when you just
stand you need a lot of motion and we need
to remind ourselves of that. As the game got
going, we were able to get into a nice ow.
The thing is with us, having played our rst
game of the season and thats now their fth, we
need to learn how to play the entire game, not
just how to shoot a 3, not just how to block a
shot, Milch said. And against Aragon, if you
dont do everything well, theyre going to make
you pay because they have good basketball
players, not just good shooters. Their top seven,
eight guys are basketball players. And theyll
punish you for any aws they can expose.
Terra Nova will face Sacred Heart Prep at 5
p.m. Thursday.

If it were not

Celebrating 65 Years Serving Peninsula Seniors
Meals on
Wheels
has saved
my life.
Meals On Wheels
W
hat is it like to be home alone with no way to shop or cook for
yourself? Every year, Peninsula Volunteers, Inc., delivers 70,000
hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities,
who are unable to cook for themselves.
For those homebound for a long time, the delivery of a hot meal may
be the only live human contact they have that day.
For others, momentarily sidelined for a few days or weeks, the arrival
of a delicious meal can be a precious lifeline that allows them to get on
their feet again. Every safety check saves lives!
Peninsula Volunteers, Inc., began preparing and delivering Meals
on Wheels in 1977. Celebrating 35 years of providing meals to the
community, Peninsula Volunteers, Inc., currently serves San Mateo
County from Belmont through East Palo Alto.
Peninsula Volunteers, Inc., Nutrition Services also delivers another
60,000 meals a year to other senior centers to ensure that their
participants also eat a healthy meal.
Rosener House Adult Day Service
F
or 35 years, Rosener House has been providing respite and peace of
mind to families of older adults with memory impairment and other
limitations.
The participants have lived in the Bay Area for many years and have
contributed to the community throughout their lives. Now they need a
purpose a reason to get up in the morning. This is especially important
for disabled older adults who tend to be very susceptible to depression.
Rosener House provides a stimulating social environment lled with
therapeutic activities, health and support services in a caring environment
so they again feel needed, accepted, and respected.
Licensed by the State of California, Rosener House serves as an
alternative to premature institutional placement. Each participant
is supported and motivated to maintain his/her highest degree of
independence and well-being, allowing participants to remain in their
homes for as long as possible.
Rosener House began in a small house on Amherst Avenue in
Menlo Park, but in 1980, with the help of the City of Menlo Park,
Rosener House moved to the former Fremont School. After twenty
years and a major earthquake, the City gave Peninsula Volunteers
the go-ahead to plan for a new facility on the same site.
After a successful Capital Campaign, the new Rosener House was
opened in 2001. Designed by Petersen Architects to specically meet
the needs of older adults, the $4.2 million state-of-the-art, 12,000 square
foot facility accommodates up to 80 participants a day in bright, happy
and safe surroundings.
Little House
Roslyn G. Morris Activity Center
T
he rst suburban senior center in the United States, Little House
began in 1949 with seven members in what was indeed a little
house in Menlo Park. Little House moved to its present home in Nealon
Park in 1954 and was the rst senior activity center in the United States to
have a building specically designed for the over-50 age group.
Today, over 4,000 people of all ages walk through the doors each
year. The lives of all who enter are enhanced through classes and
services, support groups and a welcoming social atmosphere. For
many seniors it is a home away from home, where they can enjoy
a nutritious meal in the caf, an interesting lecture or an exercise
class, or find life-assisting services and information.
Members quickly discover that there simply arent enough days
in the week to sample all the opportunities available to them at
Little House.
Peninsula Volunteer Properties
I
n 1959, PeninsulaVolunteers enlarged its missions to provide aordable,
safe senior housing. Today, Peninsula Volunteer Properties (PVP)
provides 82%of the low cost housing in Menlo Park.
Partridge Kennedy Apartments A National First!
In 1960 the city of Menlo Park permitted the Peninsula Volunteers
to rezone their land for retirement living units the rst such zoning
in America. This was followed by another rst when the predecessor
to HUD granted a construction loan for 30 apartments. Today these
apartments oer seniors below market rents, providing aordability to
all who live there.
Crane Place Apartments A Modern Model
Recognizing the signicant need for aordable senior housing, PVP
built Crane Place near downtown Menlo Park in 1981 with a HUD loan.
The 93 units of additional aordable senior housing became available
to eligible seniors and disabled adults. Crane Place oers signicant
rental assistance, providing residents the opportunity to enjoy excellent
housing while only paying 30%of their income as rent.
Crane Place consists of studio and one-bedroom apartments, ten
of which are mobility accessible. Residents enjoy a craft room, large
meeting room, dining room, kitchen, library, well-appointed lobby,
laundry and gardens. A Social Service Coordinator assists residents
in connecting with community services to meet daily challenges and
enable them to remain independent as long as possible.
Crane Place completed a major renovation in 2011, including features
to ensure safety and energy e ciency.
Little House is
my home away
from home.
Life is better
for our
whole family
with Rosener
House.
I
n July of 1947, a group of forward-thinking
women founded an organization dedicated
to improving the quality of life in their
community Peninsula Volunteers, Inc.
Decades before others were focusing on the
needs of seniors, these pioneers decided to
create high quality and nurturing programs
for the aging to ensure that those who helped
build our community would be able to
continue to live here in dignity and comfort.
Today, over 65 years later, Peninsula
Volunteers, Inc., has established four
community programs that have impacted
hundreds of thousands of residents on the
Peninsula: Meals on Wheels; Rosener House
Adult Day Services; Little House - The Roslyn G.
Morris Activity Center; and, through Peninsula
Volunteers Properties, low cost senior housing at
Crane Place and Partridge/Kennedy Apartments.
Throughout its 65 year history, Peninsula
Volunteers has achieved a number of rsts. It
opened and funded the rst suburban senior
center in the United States Little House --
and was the rst volunteer organization to
develop and build low-income senior housing
in the United States.
This visionary service organization raises
funds to provide seniors with over $5 million
annually in lifelines and services that enhance
and enrich their lives.
Your leadership in sponsoring retirement housing

is an example for all the nation. The start you have made
will soon be followed by similar projects like yours.

Stars, moons and planets have long
been inspiration for designers. For a-
cionados and anyone who appreciates
the artistry to be found in astronomy,
there is a galaxy of beautiful items for
the home.
Oscar Tusquets Blanca designed his
Luna rug in 2010, and its an amazingly
realistic recreation of the moon in its
waxing phase. (www.yliving.com,
$2,580)
Megan Lee in Tampa, Fla., makes
ethereal prints of the planets that have a
haunting, lovely quality. In the past
couple of years, I became extremely
interested in astronomy, and wanted to
pay tribute to our own solar system, she
says.
She hopes people will display the
prints remembering what weve discov-
ered, and how much more we have to
explore. A grouping would be a won-
derful feature wall, but even one of them
would make a statement. Lee also offers
a print of all the planets together.

Artisan and designer Asher Israelow
makes walnut tables inlaid with brass
dots that map out the constellations. You
supply a specic date and he researches
what the sky looked like on that night,
then makes a custom table depicting the
star map. Hes done them as wedding
and birthday gifts. (www.asheris-

Another Brooklyn-based designer,
Palo Samko, crafts tables out of claro
walnut and blackened steel evoking the
Northern Hemisphere sky map with
Southern Cross detail.

Urban Outfitters has a neat lamp
stamped with a constellation that looks
lovely when lit. Find here too a cool
glow-in-the-dark moon clock that stays
lit for half an hour after you turn off the
switch a great night light for a kids

Maximize seating
for entertaining
By Melissa Rayworth
The joy of home entertaining at the holidays often comes
with a challenge: How do you provide enough seating for a
roomful of holiday revelers with just a sofa and a few chairs?
Are there creative options besides resorting to folding chairs?
Los Angeles-based interior designer Betsy Burnham fre-
quently hears from clients who want help solving this puzzle.
People are doing more home entertaining than ever,
Burnham says, so they want to design their living space to
accommodate guests easily. For those without huge rooms,
that can be challenging.
Here, Burnham and designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Kyle
Schuneman offer advice on maximizing seating without sacri-
cing style.
STEALTH SEATING
Im a big fan of vintage ottomans, stools and sturdy side
tables like stumps for this exact purpose, says Schuneman,
author of The First Apartment Book: Cool Design for Small
Spaces (Clarkson Potter, 2012). These pieces can work as
tables or storage surfaces, he says, then occasionally serve as
extra seating for game nights or casual gatherings around the
coffee table.
Benches can work the same way. Schuneman suggests buy-
ing two benches that coordinate nicely with the decor of your
living room, and then placing them at the foot of beds in your
home. When extra seating is needed, you can easily pull them
out for the holidays and bigger dinners, he says. And you
have a cohesive looking space, as opposed to a bunch of stuff
you just pulled from around the garage.
Flynn, founder and editor of decordemon.com, uses
ottomans in a similar way. What I often do is use an uphol-
stered or hardy wood storage ottoman on casters instead of a
coffee table in the sofa area, he says. Inside the storage
ottoman, I keep oor cushions. When its time for guests, the
ottoman can be wheeled just about anywhere as extra seating,
and the oor cushions allow guests to lounge.
Burnham points out that using ottomans or benches may be
more appropriate in a casual family room or great room than
in a more formal living room. But even for formal spaces, an
elegant ottoman can work: Done well, its a beautiful way to
bring another fabric into your space, she says.
CHAIRS FROM ELSEWHERE
Flynn often uses a mixture of different chairs and benches at
a dining room table year-round, rather than a matching set.
The look is stylish, and when chairs need to be brought into a
living room for a party, they dont necessarily look like theyre
been taken from the dining room set. The mix can include a
three-seater bench, squatty stools, armless chairs, six chairs
and a pair of wingbacks at each end, he says.
Another option he suggests: Bring in your outdoor seating
and deliberately mix it in with the indoor pieces. The juxtapo-
sition can be nice, plus you can coordinate them with similar
colored cushions or accessories.

Burnham does something similar with seat-
ing from game tables: A poker table with four
chairs can be a great way to ll one corner of
a room, she says, and those four chairs can be
placed elsewhere in the room during a larger
party.
THE RIGHT SOFA
Pay attention to size and depth when choos-
ing a sofa, Burnham says. A standard-size
sofa is 7 feet. If you have three seat cushions,
people sit in a pristine way in their cushion,
she says, and youll be limited to a maximum
of three guests on your sofa. She prefers
sofas that have bench seams, so that its one
big seat, making it more likely that four
guests might use the space.
Longer sofas offer additional seating, but
Flynn says theyre best used in what he calls a
oating space plan, where two identical
long sofas are placed across from one another
in the center of a room, rather than having one
sofa against a wall. They need to be balanced
with an extra-long coffee table, he says.
Sofas with deep cushions are another
option, but Flynn points out that extra-deep
sofas are very tricky. They are insanely com-
fortable, but can be a space planning disaster.
I only use them in super large or grand living
rooms. ... Youve got to ensure the tables and
chairs which surround it have the same visual
weight.
Schuneman agrees: I think you denitely
want to mix it up with different patterns and
textures of throw pillows, so it doesnt
become a big blob in the room.
If you have extra space after choosing your
sofa, Burnham suggests focusing on adding
chairs to your living room rather than a
loveseat. Although loveseats seem to offer
more seating than chairs, they are often occu-
pied by just one person. A loveseats a tough
one, she says, because I dont think people
want to be super physically close at parties.
FOLDING AND STACKING
Folding chairs are often eyesores, Flynn
says, so he prefers chairs that can be stacked
when not in use. My favorite stacking chair
is the Emeco Navy chair. Its super light,
maybe 7 pounds or so, and its classic in
design. When not in use, stack them seven
high in a closet and youll never know theyre
there.
Burnham and Schuneman have each found
a few types of stylish folding chairs, but they
tend to come with higher price tags. She
favors black bamboo folding chairs from
Ballard Designs (about $100) for rooms with
a more traditional style, and has used clear
Lucite folding chairs (kind of like the
Philippe Starck ghost chairs) in more modern
living rooms.
Schuneman likes the fabric-covered terai
folding chairs from Anthropologie (about
$200), and suggests they can serve as a great
inspiration point for a DIY project. Try
recovering the cushion of an old upholstered
folding chair in some beautiful fabric that
works in your room, he says.
Planning carefully, shopping well and using
a little DIY creativity are the keys to solving
any holiday seating dilemma, says
Schuneman.
I always tell people to buy pieces that can
move throughout your home, he says, so
that chair in the guest room can come into the
living room, and that bench in the bathroom
could double as an extra surface for gifts or
what not. If you purchase pieces in your home
that work throughout, it really maximizes
your potential.
SEATING
Voters currently elect supervisors county-
wide so an individual districts results are not
enough to determine the outcome. However,
in the same Nov. 6 election in which Warren
Slocum prevailed, San Mateo County voters
also passed a charter change amendment
switching to district elections. In other
words, had the new method been in place,
Masur might be the one preparing for swear-
ing in next month.
In District Four, 79.7 of registered voters
turned out and 22,535 favored Masur while
19,317 chose Slocum, according to the offi-
cial Statement of the Vote released by the
county Elections Office.
District Four includes Redwood City,
Menlo Park and East Palo Alto and the
uni ncorporat ed areas of Nort h Fai r
Oaks and Oak Knoll.
Slocum received the most votes in the four
remaining districts, particularly the third in
which he garnered nearly 10,000 more than
Masur.
Slocum, who has been a consistent sup-
porter of district elections, said his position
has not changed and that he campaigned
countywide because that was the system in
place at the time.
Now as supervisor-elect, I look forward
to working to best represent my constituents
in District 4 and throughout the county. I
plan to be a local voice for District Four and
a strong voice for San Mateo County,
Slocum wrote in an email.
In the June primary, the results were
reversed with the district mirroring the coun-
tywide results. Slocum and Masur were the
top vote getters in both, creating the need for
the November runoff, followed by five other
opponents.
Masur could be reached for comment on
the outcome but, during the campaign, also
supported the county measure to change the
election process.
Until November, San Mateo County was
the only California county that elected its
supervisors at-large although each must live
in the district they represent. County voters
twice defeated earlier measures to change the
system.
During the campaign for Measure B, the
charter amendment, supporters of the change
argued that all voters should be able to weigh
in on elected officials who represent every
resident. Opponents said the status quo
favors incumbents and causes a fundraising
burden for candidates who must throw their
net wider for money and votes. A pending
lawsuit filed by six residents in April 2011
against the county seeking to change the
method also contended the process was
unfair to minorities.
Some also argued the countywide process
is unfair because a candidate could theoreti-
cally secure his or her district but lose
because countywide voters supported some-
body else. This last happened during the spe-
cial May 2011 election when now-
Supervisor Dave Pine lost his district to
opponent Gina Papan but won the District
One seat because of overall totals.
On Tuesday, Mark Church, chief elections
officer and assessor-county clerk-recorder,
officially certified the Nov. 6 results follow-
ing a mandated 1 percent manual tally to
confirm the outcomes. Voter turnout was
officially 79.83 percent which is the highest
since 1992, Church said.
Of those, 165,877 of the 288,592 ballots
cast were absentee and 119,212 were at
polling locations.
A full copy of all the election results,
including breakdowns by precincts and dis-
tricts, is available at

TALLY
seven teachers by the 2014-15 school year,
Hungerford wrote. Also, the district is seeing
positive property tax growth after two years of
losses. The 2010-11 school year had a 5.819
percent loss and last year had a further loss of
.252 percent. This year, Hungerford said the
county is projecting a 4.316 percent increase.
A main reason for the districts solvency are
two parcel taxes.
Measure G, a $96 a year parcel tax for 10
years, passed in 2004. It generates about $1.2
million annually. In 2008, voters passed
Measure U, a seven-year $78 annual tax that
brings in about $950,000 per year. Both will
end by the 2015-16 school year.
The district began talking about the possi-
bility of a new measure in 2011. A poll com-
pleted late last year showed a moderate base
of voter support for a parcel tax measure.
However, without support strong enough to
pass such a measure, the polling companies
are suggesting the district initiate a public out-
reach effort before considering placing some-
thing on the ballot. Matthews said that out-
reach to the community continues.
The budget planning could be altered dras-
tically next month since the governor is
expected to present a new funding model for
California schools. Currently, Belmont-
Redwood Shores is considered a basic aid dis-
trict, which means it is funded through local
property tax.
At the same meeting, the board will hold its
annual reorganization.

Salt in the soil can be deadly for lawns,
trees and gardens, robbing plants of their
ability to absorb water. Salt-tolerant vari-
eties are available, however, and ground
laden with soluble toxins can be ushed
clean to depths below the root zone.
Regular soil testing is the best way to
determine salt levels, said Richard
Koenig, associate dean and director of
Washington State University Extension.
The problem is common in the Desert
Southwest (with irrigation buildups),
along roads cleared with de-icers and
near oceans, where you get wind-blown
sea spray, he said.
Salinization frequently appears as
white-crusted soil on the grounds sur-
face or stunted vegetation, particularly in
low-lying areas.
Another characteristic symptom is
brown and brittle plants, Koenig
said. People often refer to (soil)
salinity as chemical drought.
Anyone who has tried to sprinkle salt
from a wet shaker knows how readily salt
stores water, said Leonard Perry, an
extension professor with the University
of Vermont.
Rock salt exhibits the same property
in the soil, and absorbs much of the water
that normally would be available to
roots, Perry said. Thats especially a
problem in the spring, when plants are
coming out of dormancy and their roots
are the most active. Salt competes with
plants for that water.
Saline soils cannot be reclaimed with
chemical amendments, conditioners or
fertilizers, according to horticulturists
with Colorado State University
Extension.
But there are methods for reducing or
eliminating salinization in the root zone.
These include:
Detoxifying the soil by ushing. If
you have a way to wash the soil using
excess water that is not high in salt, then
you can leach them down deeper into the
soil, Koenig said.
Improving drainage. Mulching to
prevent evaporation and retain water in
the soil also helps. Hose salt spray and
pollutants off plants and lawns after
heavy storms.
Using raised beds lled with fresh
soil that provides some control over
salinity, pH and compaction. That ele-
vates your soil and lets you leach it out of
the beds, Koenig said.
Adding windbreaks snow fences,
hedges and trees deects sea spray.
Removing and replacing soil covered
with road salts. But unless you can
replace the cause of the problem, like
moving plant sites farther from road-
ways, the problem will persist, Koenig
said.
Growing plants that tolerate soil
salinity. Some plants simply grow better
than others in salt, Perry said. If salt
concentrations are heavy, going from
perennials to annuals might help.
Salt can leave a bad taste in lawns and gardens
Regular soil testing is the best way to determine salt levels.

cities such as Washington, D.C., and
New York City.
In San Mateo, the city will use the
technology to better manage its existing
inventory of parking, said Matt Bronson,
interim streets and facilities manager for
the citys Public Works Department.
San Mateo has 135 sensors spread
over four blocks downtown that will be
in place for a two-year demonstration
period as the city embarks on a long-
range mission to improve the downtown
experience.
The app, Bronson said, will make life
easier for motorists and help to improve
the business climate downtown.
Local merchants can even embed
widgets on their own websites that its
customers can use to gauge parking
availability.
The goal, said Streetlines Justin Bean,
is to reduce the amount of circling time
drivers endure while searching for park-
ing as Parker shows where available
spaces are located.
The app even shows drivers where
city-owned parking garages are in down-
town and is also voice guided for a safe
hands-free experience.
Up to 30 percent of all trafc down-
town is related to motorists trying to nd
parking, Bean said.
The app will even show a driver where
they parked their car and a timer can
even indicate when the meter will
expire, Bean said. The app can be used
in cities all across the country but local-
ly so far just in San Francisco, San
Mateo and San Carlos. Mobile payments
will also be possible at some locations.
Sensors embedded in the pavement of
the selected parking spaces detect when
a space is available. Ciscos smart
routers communicate with Streetline
sensors to aggregate sensor data and at
the same time communicate with
Streetlines cloud center to deliver the
availability of the parking spots.
By deploying this cutting-edge smart
parking technology, San Mateo has
taken a great step towards becoming a
smarter city, Zia Yusuf, chief executive
ofcer of Streetline, wrote in a state-
ment. We are pleased to be working
alongside Cisco to bring this technology
to San Mateo and hopefully resolve one
of the most pressing concerns facing
todays cities parking.
Merchants through the Downtown San
Mateo Association are also involved in
the two-year pilot program.
Merchants are fed up with the park-
ing situation, said Jessica Evans, execu-
tive director at the DSMA. Parking
technology hasnt changed in 75 years
and this will bring us into the 21st cen-
tury.
Making parking easier will allow peo-
ple to enjoy all downtown has to offer,
Bronson said.
It will also be better for the environ-
ment.
Vehicle emissions resulting from driv-
ers looking for parking are so closely
linked that a year-long study found that
drivers in a 15-block district in Los
Angeles drove in excess of 950,000
miles, produced 730 tons of carbon
dioxide and used 47,000 gallons of gas
searching for parking.
Streetline is a privately held company
headquartered in Foster City and Cisco
is headquartered in San Jose.

Keaton honored at Women
in Entertainment breakfast
BEVERLY HILLS When Diane
Keaton learned she would receive the
Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, the
66-year-old actress immediately began
panicking about her speech.
Keaton accepted the diamond-and-
ruby-encrusted prize Wednesday at the
Hollywood Reporters 21st annual
Women in Entertainment breakfast hon-
oring the most powerful women in
Hollywood. She opened by warning that
her speech wasnt funny, then proceeded
to crack up the crowd inside the ball-
room of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
I just wanted my speech to be the
most touching, heartfelt, funniest, yet
also persuasive, because thats what a
leader is, the Oscar winner said. I just
knew that my speech had to be way bet-
ter than Meryl Streeps speech or Jane
Fonda or Helen Mirren all previous
Lansing Award winners.
Keaton paid tribute to her parents, par-
ticularly her mother, who died in 2008 of
Alzheimers. Keaton revealed all the
things she wished she would have said to
her mom, describing her as my rst and
most inspired leader.
PARKING
park at Nealon Park on Middle Avenue
in Menlo Park. City ordinance governing
the off-leash park states owners must
control dogs at all times, not leave them
unsupervised and not bring dogs with a
known history of dangerous behavior.
Just after 8 a.m., according to the suit,
Ollie was playing with another dog near
the third base dugout when Furman
released Dylan and either left the park or
began talking on her cellphone. The
German shepherd ran to Ollie and
clamped his jaws around the dogs neck
and throat, thrashing him around, until
several others including Otera inter-
vened by kicking and pulling. When
Otera grabbed the German shepherds
collar, it bit her right hand, the suit
claims.
The suit also claims at least one
bystander at the time started screaming
for the dogs owner who was absent
because she was walking the perimeter
of the park fence while on the phone.
After the incident, the biting dog was
quarantined for 10 days to ensure it did
not have rabies before being released
back to the owner, said Scott Delucchi,
spokesman for the Peninsula Humane
Society.
Oteras attorneys did not return an
inquiry for comment.
Furman is currently unrepresented by
an attorney in this matter, according to
court records.
Oteras suit claims Furman knew or
should have known her dog had danger-
ous or vicious propensities. The suit also
holds the rescue group liable, claiming it
as negligent by placing the dog in
Furmans home.
The group, which is located in
Oakland, rescues German shepherds
from shelters throughout Northern
California and places them in foster sit-
uations or permanent homes with quali-
ed owners. The dogs undergo a series
of tests for temperament and behavior
before being accepted and is monitored
constantly for at least two weeks in a
foster home environment before being
ready for placement. Prospective owners
are also graded and many of the roughly
100 people who apply every month are
rejected, said Rob Holloway, president
of German Shepherd Rescue of
Northern California.
We pride ourselves on being able to
match people with the right dogs, he
said. German shepherds are large dogs
and we work very hard on procedures to
make sure they go into homes with the
right people.
Holloway declined to address the case
directly but said it will be looking at the
dogs evaluations and foster parent
report to see if anything in its history
indicated such aggressive behavior was
possible.
My rst reaction though is that Im
sorry for the person and her dog, he
said.
A case management conference in the
case is scheduled for May 10.

People in the news
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Unless your
efforts are organized and effcient, things arent
likely to work out too well. If youre impulsive,
problems could arise just when youre about to fulfll
an objective.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep an
open mind, and youll fnd that situations will
automatically adjust themselves to your satisfaction.
Any feelings of unfairness that linger will be of your
own creation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be extremely
mindful of your behavior if you are involved in
an arrangement with a friend that requires an
investment from both. Either one of you could feel
put upon.
PISCES (Feb. 2-March 20) -- Endeavors you manage
solely will have excellent chances for success.
Problems could quickly develop, however, if you
have to share your authority with another.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be sure to treat
serious matters with the respect they deserve. Left
unattended and unresolved, they are likely to rear
their ugly heads and demand you tend to them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Heed the warning
signs that impel you to wrap up all important
projects and to not take a gamble when it comes to
choosing a delegate for a vital task.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although youre an
excellent conceptualizer, you arent likely to be
equally as competent where execution is concerned.
Make a good game plan and follow it to the letter.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even though you are
quite adroit at managing your material affairs, you
may not be too impressive at handling personal
relationships. Stick to what you do best whenever
you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It is far better to go without
than to make a bad deal with strings attached. In
order to get what you want or think you need, it
would be far better to wait until the timing is right.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless you set a
shining example, dont expect your friends and
associates to behave perfectly. On the contrary, they
will emulate you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Those with whom you
are involved arent likely to tolerate any heavy-
handed tactics. Use measures or procedures
that are fair but frm, and be considerate of other
peoples feelings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When and where your
expectations are within feasible perimeters, things
should work out reasonably well for you. Youre not
apt to get something for nothing, though, so dont
waste time wishing.

Supporters of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi carry a supporter injured by anti-Morsi
protesters during clashes outside the presidential palace in Cairo, Egypt.
By Hamza Hendawi Aya Batrawy
CAIRO Egypt descended into political tur-
moil on Wednesday over the constitution drafted
by Islamist allies of President Mohammed
Morsi, and at least 211 people were wounded as
supporters and opponents battled each other with
rebombs, rocks and sticks outside the presiden-
tial palace.
Four more presidential aides resigned in
protest over Morsis handling of the crisis, and a
key opponent of the Islamist president likened
Morsis rule to that of ousted authoritarian leader
Hosni Mubarak.
Both sides were digging in for a long struggle,
with the opposition vowing more protests and
rejecting any dialogue unless the charter is
rescinded, and Morsi pressing relentlessly for-
ward with plans for a Dec. 15 constitutional ref-
erendum.
The solution is to go to the ballot box,
declared Mahmoud Ghozlan, a spokesman for
Morsis Muslim Brotherhood, asserting the char-
ter was the best constitution Egypt ever had.
The clashes outside the presidential palace in
Cairos Heliopolis district marked an escalation
in the deepening crisis. It was the rst time sup-
porters of rival camps fought each other since
last years anti-Mubarak uprising, when the
authoritarian leaders loyalists sent sword-wield-
ing supporters on horses and camels into Cairos
Tahrir square in what became one of the upris-
ings bloodiest days.
The large scale and intensity of the ghting
marked a milestone in Egypts rapidly
entrenched schism, pitting Morsis Brotherhood
and ultra-conservative Islamists in one camp,
against liberals, leftists and Christians in the
other.
The violence spread to other parts of the coun-
try later Wednesday. Anti-Morsi protesters
stormed and set ablaze the Brotherhood ofces
in Suez and Ismailia, east of Cairo, and there
were clashes in the industrial city of Mahallah
and the province of Menouyah in the Nile
Delta north of the capital.
Compounding Morsis woes, four of his advis-
ers resigned, joining two other members of his
17-member advisory panel who have abandoned
him since the crisis began.
Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading opposition
reform advocate, said Morsis rule was no dif-
ferent than Mubaraks.
In fact, it is perhaps even worse, the Nobel
Peace Prize laureate told a news conference after
he accused the presidents supporters of a
vicious and deliberate attack on peaceful
demonstrators outside the palace.
Cancel the constitutional declarations, post-
pone the referendum, stop the bloodshed, and
enter a direct dialogue with the national forces,
he wrote on his Twitter account, addressing
Morsi.
Islamists battle opponents as
Egypt crisis continues to grow
By Amy Teibel
JERUSALEM Palestinians and Israelis
hardened their positions Wednesday over a con-
tentious new settlement push around Jerusalem,
with Israel going full throttle on plans to devel-
op the area and the Palestinians trying to block
it through an appeal to the U.N. Security
Council. The settlement push Israels retalia-
tion for the Palestinians success in winning
U.N. recognition of a de facto state has
touched off an escalating international show-
down. Palestinians claim the construction would
deal a death blow to Mideast peace hopes. Even
Israels staunchest allies have been outraged by
the move, feeding speculation they might
squeeze Israel more than usual to back down on
its construction plans.
The U.N. move came last week, with the
General Assembly recognizing a Palestinian
state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza
Strip territories captured by Israel in the 1967
Mideast war. Israel, which rejects a return to its
1967 lines, says borders with a future Palestine
should be resolved through negotiations.
Although the Israelis say construction could
be years away, the settlement plans have sent a
message that within these U.N.-recognized bor-
ders, Israel remains in rm control. The plans
include 3,000 new settler homes in the West
Bank and east Jerusalem, and intentions to press
ahead with two other projects that would drive a
wedge between east Jerusalem, the Palestinians
desired capital, and its West Bank hinterland.
International condemnation was harsher than
usual, with some of Israels closest European
allies, including Italy and the European Union
on Wednesday, calling in Israeli ambassadors
for rebukes or issuing especially stern criticism.
The issue was expected to be high on
Germanys agenda during a visit to Berlin by
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Ahead of his arrival, Israel showed no signs of
bending, holding a preliminary planning meet-
ing for a new development in a section of the
West Bank outside Jerusalem. The project,
known under its Israeli administrative term E-
1, is the most contentious of the new settlement
projects because of its strategic location.
Syrian civil war
spills over into Lebanon
TRIPOLI, Lebanon The families of
Lebanese men killed in Syria last week say
their relatives were more interested in nice
clothes and vacations than ghting a civil war.
Yet Syrian President Bashar Assads regime
branded them foreign jihadists and their
deaths set off three days of new spillover vio-
lence.
Gunmen loyal to opposite sides in Syrias
civil war battled Wednesday in the streets of
the Lebanese city of Tripoli.
The fighting has killed six people and
wounded nearly 60 since Monday, security
ofcials said.
The bloodshed is a sign of just how vulner-
able Lebanon is to getting sucked into the
Syrian crisis. The countries share a porous
border and a complex web of political and sec-
tarian ties that is easily enamed.
Among the 17 Lebanese men who turned up
dead in Syria last week were Bilal al-Ghoul
and his childhood friend, Malek Haj Deeb,
both 20. Maleks older brother, Jihad, said the
two men sympathized with the rebellion, but
they were not ghters.
