The parents of two boys alleged to have been abused by a Redwood City special education teacher are expressing frustration over lack of information and the subsequent difculty in offering the correct support for their children to recover,
Alexia Bogdis
according to the parents and their attorneys. Alexia Aliki Bogdis, 43, of Millbrae is charged with five counts of child cruelty and four counts of
battery on school grounds charges to which she pleaded not guilty this week. The victims in the criminal case are two autistic boys who were in Bogdis special education class at Roosevelt Elementary School. For the parents, the case has been frustrating. The father of one boy, who is 5, described the situation as
a total nightmare. The parents have been offered little information about what their children may have experienced. Both boys have limited communication skills and the parents arent able to simply ask the children, which they say makes it difcult to address their needs. Sharing such details, however, could cause prob-
lems for the case, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Its tragic that a little boy is abused and not able to speak up, said attorney Todd Emanuel, who is representing the family of one of the boys. Emanuel added that the boy

At 12:01 a.m. Sunday, the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce will take over Millbrae police in a longawaited move that aims to save the city money while maintaining the same level of service. Sheriff Lt. Ed Barberini led a press conference Friday afternoon about the transfer of services. While the citys 14 sworn ofcers will remain serving the Millbrae area, they will be partnered with current sheriff employees. All services currently housed at the Millbrae police station will remain there, except for vehicle maintenance, he said. Familiar faces of the Millbrae Police Department wont be around next week, however. The employees transferring to the county will be in
training next week. Sworn employees as well as department volunteers will be sworn in Tuesday, said Barberini. Barberini, who will act as the citys police chief, plans to reach out to community groups and learn about Millbraes needs before making any changes to the services offered. The stafng of the department doesnt change. Barberini added there will be more opportunities for the department to offer support during community events and as a school resource. In November, the City Council voted to contract for services provided by the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce. Earlier this year, the council approved the transfer agreements to make it happen.

In 1912, Clarence Crane, a candy maker from Cleveland, created a candy that would not melt in the heat of the summer. The candy was Life Savers. Available in one avor, Pep-O-Mint, the original slogan for the candy was For that stormy breath. *** Peppermint is the number one selling avor among non-chocolate, hard candies. *** In the late 1920s, ads for Altoids in Britain claimed, Altoids act as an antidote to poisons in the stomach. One or two taken after meals will stop any poisonous fermentation. Altoids have been available in the United States for more than 80 years, but they came into pop culture with their catchy ad campaign which began in 1995, after Kraft Foods bought the company. *** Chiclets, the rst candy-coated gum, were rst made in 1906. The popularity of candy-coated almonds at the turn of the century gave Henry Fleer his idea for candy-coated gum. *** Can you guess the decade in which the following candies were introduced? Baby Ruth, Milky Way, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Bit-O-Honey, Milk Duds and Raisinets. See answer at end. *** Good & Plenty candy is the oldest branded candy in the United States.

Sugar is the only required ingredient in cotton candy. *** Beet sugar is derived from sugar beets. Cane sugar is derived from sugar cane. Both sugars are 99.95 percent sucrose. *** Sugar and sure are the only two words in the English language that have the letters su pronounced as sh. *** The woman pictured in every Sees Candy Shops is actually the founders mother. Charles See arrived in Los Angeles from Canada in 1921 to start his confection business. He used his mothers candy recipes, as well as her image, to start his business. Sees Candies has a factory in South San Francisco. *** The York Cone Company made ice cream cones, wafes and some candy in the 1920s. In 1940, the York peppermint patty was introduced.

Candy is the number one choice among children for afternoon snacking. *** In the United States, chocolate candy outsells all other types of candy combined, by two to one. *** Leo Hirscheld invented a chewy chocolate log candy in 1896. His daughters name was Clara, but her nickname was Tootsie, which was why he called the candy Tootsie Roll. *** The biggest candy selling days, in order, are Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Valentines Day. *** Pop Rocks were introduced by General Foods in 1975. Four years later, there were rumors that mixing soda and Pop Rocks could cause your stomach to explode.

work three days a week Monday, Wednesday, Friday, according to Nantells report. Looking at leaf blower restrictions came about last year when the Burlingame Citizens Environmental Council recommended the ban to maintain clean air and water while cutting down on air and noise pollution. Since then, a community poll showed residents were split over a complete ban but showed stronger support for a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers. Current law limits how loud a leaf blower can be and the hours of operation to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. In August, the city considered a proposal to ban gas-powered leaf blowers starting at the beginning of this year. The hours of use with electric leaf blowers would remain for weekdays but be barred on weekends. Some exceptions to the hours would apply for work done to maintain city property. Thought to be too strict, the council instead created a subcommittee of Councilwoman Terry Nagel and Vice Mayor Ann Keighran to work with residents and gardeners to nd a solution. Leaf blowers could be no louder than 65 decibels and to have them certied by the city. Commercial gardeners would be allowed to use the devices on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in specied residential areas. Residents who do their own gardening would be allowed to use leaf blowers on weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. as well as the areas designated day for their neighborhood. The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, March 5 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

Burlingame ofcials will discuss the possibility of limiting leaf blower use throughout the city to certain days and times at its Monday meeting. In January, the council generally agreed with the plan to section the city into four areas with time and day restrictions of when leaf blowers can be used. Staff was asked to check with school ofcials about the possible restrictions and return with opinions. As a result of the feedback, City Manager Jim Nantell is suggesting schools and city parks be treated like multi-residential homes which would allow leaf blowers to be used twice a week, Tuesday and Friday. Both park maintenance workers and school officials would like more days. Alternatively, the city could consider allowing these groups to do

The transient who spent months in a state mental hospital after allegedly beating a Belmont man so severely during a home invasion robbery he later died pleaded not guilty Friday to potentially capital murder charges. After Tyler James Hutchinson, 24, entered his Superior Court plea, he was ordered back to court April 11 to set further proceedings in the June 2009 death of 88-year-old Albert Korn. Korn died two weeks after allegedly encountering Hutchinson who prosecutors say broke into his Hallmark Drive home, beat him and ed in his car with a wallet and jewelry. Hutchinson was identied as the suspect after being arrested for similar home invasion robberies in West Sacramento. After being convicted in those crimes, Hutchinson was sentenced to prison for six years and eight months and sent back to San Mateo County. Hutchinson was also charged in a jailhouse attack after his arrest on correctional ofcers providing security for a maintenance worker in his cell. Last April, Hutchinson was committed to a hospital after being found mentally unt but doctors there found him competent and
returned him to San Mateo County for prosecution. Hutchinson is eligible for the death penalty if convicted of murder in the commission of another felony, robbery, but prosecutors have yet to announce if they will seek it. If not, he could receive Tyler life in prison without the Hutchinson chance of parole. Hutchinsons competency was questioned in Yolo County and also in previous San Mateo County cases. In one incident, approximately a year before Korns beating, Hutchinson reportedly yelled epithets and spit at one of two women standing with their young children at the Hillsdale Caltrain station in San Mateo. At numerous court appearances since his arrest Hutchinson has spoken out and demanded a speedy trial. When his attorney asked in December to delay the preliminary hearing until Friday, Hutchinson reportedly spit in the mans face and told him to get out of his face. Hutchinson remains in custody without bail.
SAN FRANCISCO State and local transportation ofcials have lined up enough funding to launch the second phase of a project to replace the San Francisco approach to the Golden Gate Bridge. Ofcials found themselves scrambling after $54 million failed to come through from fed-
eral and state sources. The problem threatened to delay construction on the new Presidio Parkway. Crews are nearing completion on the rst phase to replace the old Doyle Drive, the approach built in 1937 that sat on unstable soil and lacks a median or shoulders. The $1.1 billion project is being run by a private-public partnership.

NATION
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio This states Super Tuesday primary is proving to be the perfect microcosm of the nations unruly race for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney is spending lots of money, Rick Santorum is aggressively courting conservatives and Newt Gingrich is counting on big ideas to swing votes his way. Of the 10 states weighing in on Tuesday, Ohio offers the hottest contest. And with its diverse population, reputation as a presidential battleground and preoccupation
with the same economic worries that nag the nation at large, Ohio seems destined to foreshadow the shape of the campaign as it Mitt Romney heads toward November. Despite the vast territory in play across the country, from Alaska and Idaho to Vermont, Virginia and Georgia, Romney will sleep in Ohio every night until Tuesday. Its that important to him. Even so, the race was playing out in similar fashion in the other states
with contests Tuesday. The f o r m e r Massachusetts governor and his allies were ooding the airwaves, outpacing his rivals in Super Rick Santorum every Tuesday state except in North Dakota, where Santorum was alone on the air but spending less than $8,000. Romney campaigned in Washington on Friday, the day before the states caucuses, as he closed a Western swing. Romney has much of Ohios
Republican establishment behind him after years of courting the partys county chairmen and donors. When a party chairman gets a Newt Gingrich call early on from someone perceived as the front-runner and they ask you to sign on as a county chairman, its easy to say yes and its hard to say no, said Mark Munroe, the Mahoning County GOP chief who is leading Romneys efforts in the northeastern Ohio county.
Annual pet spending Justice Department loses three passes $50 billion mark important FOIA court rulings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Americans spent $50.96 billion on their pets in 2011. Thats an all-time high and the rst time in history more than $50 billion has gone to the dogs, cats, canaries, guppies and the like, the American Pet Products Association said in a report issued Thursday. Food and vet costs accounted for about 65 percent of the spending.
But it was a service category one that includes grooming, boarding, pet hotels, pet-sitting and day care that grew more than any other, surging 7.9 percent from $3.51 billion in 2010 to $3.79 billion in 2011. APPA President Bob Vetere said 2012 should be another banner year for services, predicting it would grow 8.4 percent to an estimated $4.11 billion in 2012. Owners are taking care of their pets, said Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, a San Diego veterinarian and author of pawcurious.com.

WASHINGTON The Justice Department has lost three significant court rulings over records sought by the public under the Freedom of Information Act, including a rare order to release a classified document. The rulings have been issued recently by judges in federal district court in Washington. Two of
the judges have ruled that protecting the privacy of congressmen is not enough reason to withhold records about corruption investigations of the lawmakers. The third ruling, from U.S. District Judge Richard Roberts, said the U.S. Trade Representative must turn over a position paper prepared during negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, conducted in the 1990s and 2000s, which never resulted in a deal.

in learning and score substantially higher on California standards tests for math and English language arts. They also have higher school attendance rates. Student success comes from directly linking after-school activities to what is being taught during the regular day. Everyone, from the principal and credentialed teachers to the after-school staff and community partners, works together to make sure students are safe and getting the vital help they need to close achievement gaps. The academic component consists of homework help, tutoring and targeted intervention. This targeted learning provided by certicated teachers takes place in small groups. The progress of each student is closely monitored and adjustments are made according to individual progress. After-school enrichment activities turn classroom lessons into hands-on projectbased learning through such activities as computer programming, robotics, gardening, cooking and drama programs. These activities help English language learners develop their skills. Through sports activities, after-school programs
n this time of ongoing budget cuts, every dollar is precious, especially when it comes to educating our children. In December, Gov. Jerry Brown announced that K-12 schools would have a mid-year budget cut of $328 million. Thats an average of $55 per student with more cuts anticipated in the months ahead. It is now more imperative than ever that we use our scarce resources as wisely as possible. After-school programs represent a key resource that our local schools rely upon. They extend the learning day and provide valuable academic, enrichment and recreational activities no longer included during the regular day because of cuts to local school budgets. With After School Education and Safety (ASES) funding from Proposition 49, participating students get three additional hours of instruction each school day. This adds up to 90 more days of learning each year. Sixty-ve school sites in San Mateo County, including schools in Redwood City, Jefferson and Ravenswood City elementary districts, provide after-school programs at the low price of $7.50 per child. Children who regularly participate in after-school programs are more engaged

reinforce math and language arts lessons. Students develop strong connections to the after-school staff, many of whom were born and raised in the area and are now working with children in the very schools they themselves attended. Some are working on their college degrees and planning to become teachers themselves. Professional development activities prepare them to be successful in the classroom by providing practical skills such as classroom management, lesson planning and conict resolution. At the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, we are proud to serve and support after school programs. At a time when resources are scarce, after-school programs play a crucial role in meeting our childrens needs by providing knowledge, skills and inspiration that will help them compete in todays diverse global economy.

he said, and their savings could push indexes even higher. Were a little more surprised there isnt more enthusiasm given the run weve had over the last couple of months, Sorensen said. The individual retail investor has been reluctant to participate, but were looking to them to fuel the next leg of this rally. The Standard & Poors 500 index gained 8.6 percent in the first two months of this year, its best start since 1987. But Americans still pulled a total of $3.9 billion from U.S. stock funds over those two months, according to data from the Investment Company Institute. Most of their savings are going into taxable bond funds. Douglas Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management, has been telling his clients to shift more money into stocks and corporate bonds as the U.S. economy improves and the greatest threats are fading away. The European Central Bank loaned $712 billion to the regions struggling banks at cheap rates this week, a move Cote believes will keep the European debt crisis from boiling over. It takes the European debt crisis off the table, he said. Weve been counseling investors that its time to get back in the market.

NEW YORK The stock market reached a couple of milestones this week Dow 13,000 and Nasdaq 3,000 but not much else. Stocks crept lower Friday, and the Dow Jones industrial average turned in its third losing week of the year. One of the few bright spots was Yelp, the online restaurant review site, which surged 64 percent in its debut. Yelp ended its rst trading day at $24.58, far above its initial public offering price of $15. The Dow slipped 2.73 points to close at 12,977.57, and lost 5 points for the week. American Express Co. dropped 1 percent, the biggest fall among the 30 companies in the Dow. The Nasdaq composite index fell 12.78 points to 2,976.19, a loss of 0.4 percent. Both the Dow and Nasdaq fell below highs hit earlier this week. The Dow ended the trading day above 13,000 on Tuesday for the rst time since May 2008. The Nasdaq composite index broke the 3,000 level on Wednesday for the rst time since 2000. These round numbers mean little to professional investors, said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at Charles Schwab. But the media attention they generate may lure Americans back into the stock market,
NEW YORK Gasoline prices climbed Friday for the 24th straight day as service stations pass along the rising cost of oil. The national average for gasoline hit $3.741 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Thats an increase of 46.5 cents per gallon since the start of 2012. Gasoline has never been so high this time of year, and analysts say it could reach a record of $4.25 per gallon by late April. Last years peak price was $3.985 per gallon on May 4, and the record was $4.11 per gallon in July 2008.
Gasoline has surged as its primary component, oil, gets more expensive. Oil prices have climbed 10 percent since January on fears that world supplies could be reduced as the West confronts Iran over its nuclear program. Iran, the worlds third-largest oil exporter, faces a European embargo and other international sanctions as the West tries to force its nuclear facilities to open to inspectors. Some experts say Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, though the country denies it. The recent jump in oil began to stall late this week. With prices near last years highs, traders say theyre increasingly worried about the consumers ability to pay higher prices. These prices are beginning to bite,
independent oil trader Jim Ritterbusch said. Were at the point where people are getting concerned of further economic recovery, not just in the U.S. but much of the globe. U.S. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude, which is used to price much of the oil produced in the Midwest, fell by $2.14 to nish at $106.70 per barrel on Friday in New York. Brent crude, imported by many U.S. reneries that make gasoline, fell by $2.55 to end at $123.65 per barrel in London. In other energy trading, heating oil fell 7 cents to nish at $3.20 per gallon and gasoline futures fell 8 cents to end at $3.27 per gallon. Natural gas futures rose 2 cents to nish at $2.48 per 1,000 cubic feet.
BRUSSELS Europes leaders have said they are committed to supporting economic growth, in a concession that their focus on austerity as the key to solving the debt crisis is not working as unemployment hits record highs and recession looms over the region. The heads of the 27 European Union governments meeting at a summit in Brussels on Thursday discussed how to improve economic activity and create jobs. But with public policies hamstrung by the commitment to reduce debts, the leaders were short on con-
crete proposals. Rather than stimulus, they are considering gradual structural reforms such as cutting red tape and improving business conditions. This was not a meeting focused on crisis management, it was a meeting focused on growth, said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso after the summit, which for the first time in months was held under relatively calm conditions in financial markets. Nowhere is the impact of Europes austerity policy more obvious than in Greece, which faces a fifth year of recession as it strains to push through a list of austerity reforms required to tap its bailout loans. The finance ministers of the euro currency union, who met in Brussels ahead
of the get-together of heads and state and government, signed off in principle on a first batch of bailout money Greece needs to implement a massive debt relief deal with private investors. But the final green light for as much as (euro) 93.5 billion ($125.69 billion) which Greece needs to implement the (euro) 107 billion debt swap deal will only come next Friday, once Athens has implemented the last of a series of austerity reforms, the finance ministers said in a statement. That means Athens will have to wait at least another week before it knows for sure whether it can avoid bankruptcy later this month. Many investors feared an uncontrolled default even by relatively small Greece could end the recent calm on financial markets.
SAN FRANCISCO A former DuPont Co. scientist has pleaded guilty to stealing trade secrets. Federal prosecutors say Tze Chao is now cooperating with an investigation of a Chinese government-owned rm suspected of buying the information.
Chao admitted in a San Francisco federal court Thursday that he kept condential DuPont documents after his 2002 retirement from the company, where he worked for 36 years. In 2003, he began consulting for Pangang Group Co., a Chinese steel manufacturer. Pangang, Chao and several others were indicted last month on charges that
they conspired to steal DuPonts recipes for manufacturing titanium dioxide, a widely used industrial coating. Chao admitted passing proprietary information to Pangang. The 77-year-old is free on bond until sentencing. He faces up to 15 years in prison. DuPont is based in Wilmington, Del.

SANTA CLARA The Serra basketball team held Mittys Aaron Gordon in check for most of the game, but when the Padres absolutely needed to stop him, Gordon was unstoppable. Gordon scored eight of his 17 points in the
fourth quarter, including back-to-back buckets late in the game to give the Monarchs a 5449 win in the Central Coast Section Division II championship game Friday night at Santa Clara University. It is the third straight loss for Serra in the CCS championship game, while Mitty completed the three-peat, winning in 2009 and 2010.
While the Padres did a decent job of limiting Gordon, who also pulled down 17 rebounds, Mittys Thomas Peters picked up the slack. The 6-6 senior forward scored a game-high 24 points. Serra was led by Henry Carusos 16 points, while Andre Miller added 10. Serra (23-4), which trailed 26-20 at halftime, took a 40-38 lead into the fourth quarter.
Stephen Grosey knocked down a pair of free throws to put the Padres up 42-38, but Peters answered with a three-point play. Serra came right back with a 3-pointer from Vika Jimenez to go up 45-41 with 6:52 left to play. The Padres then went four minutes and seven seconds without a point. By the time
GATORS 3-PEAT!

SANTA CLARA Consistency in basketball doesnt mean playing well for one quarter or one half. Its about playing four quarters of solid basketball. That was the difference in the Central Coast Section Division IV championship game at Santa Clara University Friday afternoon. Third-seeded Sacred Heart Prep, despite a slow start, played more consistently over the nal three quarters as the Gators beat No. 4 Half Moon Bay 53-44 for their third-straight Division IV CCS title. Counting its Division V title, Sacred Heart Prep has won four CCS championships in the last ve years. It just means were doing something right, said SHP coach Tony Martinelli. Weve found a way to be consistent. Trailing by four after one quarter, SHP nally settled down and started playing Gator basketball. They stopped settling for outside jumpers and starter driving to the basket, which then allowed their perimeter shooters to calm down and find a rhythm. A Matt McNamara 3-pointer with six seconds left in the rst half put the Gators up at halftime, 2221. The way it started, it looked a little shaky, Martinelli said. Shots werent falling. (But) they play four quarters of basketball for a reason. The game was really decided in the fourth quarter, however. The Gators led 34-31 going into the nal quarter, but a Logan Marshall 3pointer cut Half Moon Bays decit to 36-34 with 7:18 left to play. But a two-minute, six-second dry spell, followed by a 2:38 scoring drought put the Cougars in a hole from which they could not climb out. We dont have enough repower to come from behind, said Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund. Were just not equipped. We dont have that go-to player.

The San Mateo boys soccer team stands at the doorstep of history. And if all goes to plan, the Bearcats wont be sneaking into that opening, theyll be taking a giant leap, through it. San Mateo looks for their rst CCS title in boys soccer history when the Bearcats take on No. 4 Willow Glen at 10 a.m. at Gilroy High Saturday. The Bearcats have never played in a CCS championship, let alone won a title. The farthest theyve ever gotten was the seminal in 2006. San Mateo is the No. 3 seed. Were very excited, said Bearcats head coach Chuck Callaghan. Very happy and looking forward to the game. A win on Saturday moves San Mateos overall record in CCS to 5-4 and it would come as the cherry on top of a season that saw the Bearcats move up from the PALs Ocean Division this year and share a Bay crown with Menlo-Atherton. Honestly, going into the season it wasnt something that we expected to achieve, Callaghan said of his teams success. But as the season went on and we played so well, it was less and less of a surprise. San Mateo was probably the most consistent soccer team in the county this year with a defense that appeared air-tight at times. Theyre coming off an emotional 3-2 win over St. Ignatius in the seminals with Benny Angeles hooking up with Angel Mejia in the games nal seconds for the win. The win might have shocked the Wildcats and the rest of the prep scene, but not San Mateo.
SHP's Cole McConnell puts up an off-balanced shot after drawing foul during the Gators' 5344 win over Half Moon Bay to capture their third straight CCS Division IV championship.
Saturdays CCS nals in girls soccer bring with them an interesting concept for the two local teams participating in the championship games. Its the idea of the prex co, as in, sharing. As in, never really yours. As in, lets put both our names on this wonderful Central Coast Section trophy. Whoever said sharing is caring never
played soccer. Believe it or not, between Aragon and Menlo there are four CCS titles, but none of them are all-out victories. Back in 1988 through 1990, the Knights shared three Division III titles. And in 2010, Aragon tied Presentation 2-2 en route to their rst ever championship. Or it that, co-championship? Perhaps the time has come for the Dons and Knights to get a little selsh. It wont be easy though.
In the Division II nal, Aragon faces the No. 1 seed in Archbishop Mitty a team that doesnt do a very good job of sharing. The Monarchs hold 10 CCS trophies in their programs history, including the most recent one, making them the reigning D II champions. Aragon will have their hands full for sure. Mitty is ranked fifth in the nation by Maxpreps.com and through 24 games are 201-3, allowing only 11 goals in the process (a statistic that includes 17 shutouts).
If theres one thing they do better than defending, its scoring the Monarchs have found the net 48 times in 2011-2012, a more than 4-to-1 ratio. All Aragon eyes will be on Ana Marija Sola, who leads Mitty with 12 goals and 16 assists. But if all the focus goes to No. 10, then Gabrielle Vargas and her 10 goals might make the Dons pay. History isnt necessarily on Aragons side.

Perhaps its a tad unfair, but tonights CCS Division III title game in boys basketball bears with it a tremendous burden for the team from El Camino High School. In their rst ever appearance on the sections biggest stage, the Colts will try to do what no Peninsula Athletic League team has done since 1997: just win, baby. Thats right, no PAL team has won a CCS basketball title since 1997 when a pair of schools, Hillsdale and Woodside, cut down the nets in title victories. Since then, 16 teams have tried. And 16 teams have failed. And in that stretch, 13 times the West Catholic Athletic League has victimized the PAL. The last PAL team to beat a WCAL team in a CCS nal? Half Moon Bay
in 1996, which beat Valley Christian 62-47. The reason thats important is because standing in front of the Colts on their road to history is Sacred Heart Cathedral, the No. 1 seed in Division III. The Irish are the threetime defending champions, having ousted Burlingame on all three occasions. And the Irish are rolling once again. Even without a pair of starters, Sacred Heart had made relatively easy work of Burlingame and Valley Christian en route to their latest championship appearance, winning by an average score of 56-43. The Irish are led by 6-4 senior forward Taylor Johns, who scored 22 points and pulled down 19 rebounds in a win against the Warriors. He scored 18 and brought down 11 in a quarternal victory a pair of days before.
Johns might be El Caminos biggest priority, but if theres one thing the Colts have shown in 2012, its that they arent intimidated by the big, bad WCAL. El Camino took down St. Ignatius in the seminals, dominating them for three quarters last Saturday en route to a 51-45 win. The victory marked the third against a WCAL team this season for the Colts and the second against the Wildcats. As always, for El Camino to win, their Big-3 must have complete games. In the three wins against the WCAL, Elijah White, Michael Smith and Anthony Knight have combined for an average of 44 points per game. The wildcard though, will be the play of Jalen Bitanga and Richie Mathiesen inside for El Camino. Bitanga has made opponents pay all season long with his work on the boards. At 5-11, its easy to overlook him. But his grungy work on the
glass might be key for El Camino on Saturday. Game time for the Division III title game at Santa Clara University is scheduled for 4 p.m. Speaking of the PAL and pressure, the Terra Nova girls basketball team nds itself right where everyone thought they would be at years start: in the CCS Division III title game. And ironically enough, standing between them and a fourth CCS title is the Sacred Heart Cathedral girls basketball team, the No. 2 seed. As of recent history, the WCAL has been a thorn in Terra Novas side, costing the Tigers and their trio of talented Division I-caliber players a section title. Last year, Terra Nova bowed out to St. Ignatius. The year before that, Notre Dame-Belmont (two years running actually). Overall, the Tigers are 46-32 in CCS history, 3-2 in the nals, with
their latest title coming in 1997 as part of a back-to-back effort. But CCS and the title game is exactly what Terra Nova has been gunning for all season long. Their pre-season scheduled reected that, with games against Bishop ODowd and Berkeley. And as expected, the Tigers roared through the PAL Bay Division regular season and tournament. The Tigers are focused. A victory will revolve around stopping GeAnna Summers-Luaulu and her 10 points per game and Jerrieza Enriquez, who leads the team in total points. Terra Nova counters, of course, with Terilyn Moe, the PAL Bay Division Most Valuable Player, and her two All-League teammates, Ivonne Cook-Taylor and Jayzyl Tauala. Tip-off for the Division III title game is schedule for 2 p.m. at Santa Clara University.
PHOENIX Manny Ramirez saw just three pitches and took two swings in his Oakland debut. He never got the ball out of the ineld. Still, just being there seemed enough for now. I feel good, he said afterward. I make contact. Then he laughed and laughed. The suspended slugger grounded into a double play and bounced out in the Athletics 8-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners in their spring opener on Friday. Ramirez will have plenty of
opportunities to rene his form. He will have turned 40 by the time hes sat out the first 50 games of the season for violating MLBs substance abuse Manny Ramirez policy. J e s u s Montero, the touted 22-year-old acquired in a trade with the New York Yankees for Michael Pineda, hit one of Seattles ve home runs. But Montero left in the fth inning
after being hit by a foul. Actually, Montero got hit twice in nearly the same place. Hes OK, Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. He got hit in the jaw a couple of times. I dont know that Ive ever seen that happen two times in a row like that. The rst one got him pretty good but obviously the second one right on top of that, so we got him out of there. The As and Mariners play the major league opener on March 28 in Tokyo. Montero, who also had an error when he dropped a foul ball on a windy afternoon, was one of the few
regulars the Mariners brought to the Phoenix Municipal Stadium. Seattle got some big hits, a nice sign for an offense that was awful last year. Montero, Michael Saunders and Carlos Peguero each hit two-run homers and Luis Rodriguez and Johermyn Chavez added solo shots. Ramirez, his trademark locks falling below his helmet, drew a loud mix of boos and cheers when he stepped to the plate in the rst inning to face Blake Beaven with a runner on rst and one out. On the second pitch, he hit a sharp grounder right to the shortstop, who
easily converted the double play. Three innings later, Ramirez led off the fourth and grounded out sharply to second on the rst pitch. Someone said he probably didnt plan on hard grounders when he returns to the majors this season. You got that right, he said. Its been a long time since I havent faced nobody, but tomorrows another day. Tomorrow Ill do better. Actually, it will be two days before he has a chance to do better. Manager Bob Melvin said his plan is to play Ramirez every other day through the spring.

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco 49ers used the franchise tag for safety Dashon Goldson on Friday, giving them the right to match any offer Goldson receives from elsewhere. The move by the NFC West champions makes sure the team is compensated if Goldson who had been set to become an unrestricted free agent March 13 signs with another franchise. There are no immediate plans to sign the franchise tag, Goldsons representative, Ben Dogra of CAA Sports, said in a text message.
We will continue to speak with the 49ers. General manager Trent Baalke said the team can still attempt to sign Goldson to a long-term deal but at least knows he is expected to be with the Niners again in 2012. Dashon has been a 49er Dashon since we selected him in the Goldson fourth round of the 2007 draft, Baalke said. By using the franchise tag on Dashon, it affords us the opportunity to continue to work on a long-term contract with him,
while also ensuring he will be a 49er for a sixth season, in 2012. Baalke also is busy working to re-sign quarterback Alex Smith, who helped San Francisco snap an eight-year playoff drought and advance to the NFC championship game. The 49ers lost in overtime to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Negotiations with Smith are under way, with both sides making it clear they want to get something done. Dogras group, with Tom Condon, also represents Smith. A rst-time Pro Bowler last season, Goldson was a key member of one of the NFLs top defenses.
He and cornerback Carlos Rogers shared the team lead with six interceptions a career-best for Goldson, who was drafted out of Washington. The franchise tag number for safeties is expected to be about $6.2 million next season. If Goldson receives an offer from another team, the 49ers would have the right to match the offer. If they choose not to match the offer, San Francisco would receive two rst-round draft choices as compensation. The franchise tender will provide Goldson with a one-year guaranteed contract equivalent to the average of the top ve highest paid players at his position each year, over the last ve seasons.
FORT CARSON, Colo. As he pummels opponents inside the ring, Marcus Browne beats himself up outside of it for even being in this position. The light heavyweight should be sitting on the sideline and taking in the bouts, not bobbing and weaving at the U.S. boxing national championships this week. Its Brownes Olympic spot that his challengers are chasing after, the one he let slip from his grasp. And that constant reminder only riles up Browne even more. See, Browne captured his weight division at the Olympic trials last summer, putting him on the path to represent the U.S. at the 2012 London Games. All he had to do was nish high at the world championships and he was on his way. But he didnt and surrendered his spot, leaving it up for grabs again. That stung.
He hasnt felt pain like that since, well, the rst time he took a punch to the stomach as a 13-year-old in a Staten Island, N.Y., gym. That blow nearly sent him scurrying for the exits, tears welling up in his eyes. This blow simply sent him scurrying back into the ring, eager to prove he was still king of the canvas. Sure, hes upset about having to earn his spot back here at nationals, but he gured he had two options: Keep pouting or start punching. Im treating this as redemption, as Operation Get-my-spot-back, the 21-year-old Browne said. These guys are just keeping it warm for me. Im denitely getting my spot back. Browne certainly doesnt lack in condence. Never has, really, ever since venturing into the ring as a teenager and taking that rst blow to the gut. He only showed up because he happened to idolize one of the toughest kids on his neighborhood block, Nwachi Hartley. Four years older, Hartley, who was known as
Speedy, was passionate about boxing. So Browne followed in his footsteps as Hartley taught him the ropes. But Hartleys no longer around to teach those lessons and dole out those helpful tips. Hartley died in a car accident in 2008. Mention Hartleys name and Brownes ever-present grin instantly fades. He misses his friend. He misses their chats. I do ght for him when Im in the ring, Browne said. Most denitely, I do. He couldve used Hartleys comforting shoulder, his uplifting words of wisdom last year. Browne was ying high after winning the trials, only to tumble back down at worlds in Baku, Azerbaijan, when he lost to 09 heavyweight world champion Egor Mekhontsev of Russia. With it went Brownes ticket to London. After worlds, he took two weeks
off to get his mind right. And whats emerged from the gym is a different ghter, a much more determined one. He may be beating himself up about having to win back his spot, but hes also taking care of business in the ring. Being here, its stressful, said Browne, who, if he wins this weekend, still has to nish in the top four at a qualier in Brazil this May to earn an Olympic spot. I ask myself, Why am I here? How did I let this happen? At the end of the day, I am here. So Ive got to do what I have to do. Ive got to get the job done. This newfound clarity is coming from a maturing boxer who refers to the younger version of himself as a knucklehead. Growing up, he was a little bit of a bully. Nothing major, just wanted to let everyone know he was someone to respect. Like the time he walked straight into the middle of a neighborhood soccer game and grabbed their ball.
He then informed all the stunned faces gathered around him that if they wanted their ball back, they had to take it. Naturally, they all pounced and yet struggled to pry the ball away. Browne heartily laughed at the memory. I picked ghts for no reason, he said. Soon after, he began honing his talent in the gym, under the watchful eye of his trainer, Gary Stark Sr. Steadily, Browne rose up the ranks and captured the national Police Athletic League championship in 2010. That helped put him on the map as a force to contend with. Hes been on the ascent ever since, relying on a mixture of speed, power and a healthy dose of self-condence. His biggest hurdle this weekend? Easy. Im my biggest obstacle, Browne said. If I dont do what Im supposed to do, Im not going to win. If I do what Im supposed to do, Im going to win. Its that simple.

Continued from page 11
Jason Barsocchini made 1 of 2 free throws, Serra found itself trailing 4946. But all was not lost. Mitty itself went scoreless for just under two minutes while the Padres proceeded to tie the score at 49. Miller hit 1 of 2 from the line and Josaf Zamora tied the score on a fast-break layup with 2:10 left. It would be the last points of the night for the Padres. Gordon put Mitty (27-3) up 51-49 when he drove into the paint and scored. He then grabbed the defensive rebound on Serras ensuing possession and scored in the key again to give the Monarchs a 5349 lead. A Jordan White free throw capped the scoring for the night. The Padres chances took a big hit when Caruso fouled out with 3:46 left. He took a pass on the wing and drove the baseline. On his way, he pushed off when he stuck his elbow in a defenders chest, drawing the offensive foul and ending his night. The loss was big because Caruso was the Padres only consistent scoring threat on the night. After scoring 12 in the rst half, he was quieted in the second, scoring only four as he was in foul trouble in the third and fourth quarters. The rest of his teammates tried to pick him up, however. After seeing only three players score for Serra in the rst half, the Padres had seven dif-

McConnell added 10 and Ricky Galliani chipped in nine. Half Moon Bay was paced by Andy Simanek, who finished with nine points. Marshall added eight, while Bill Floyd and Carter White each had six points. McConnell, who lit up Harker with seven 3-pointers in the seminals Tuesday, was held in check by Half Moon Bays tenacious defense. Fortunately for McConnell and the Gators, there were plenty of others waiting to step up. McNamara, who missed most of the West Bay Athletic League season, returned in time for the playoffs and gives Martinelli a big weapon off the bench. McNamara finished with eight points. In a circumstance like this, you wonder if the guys can step up, Martinelli said. Teams have been focused on Cole all season. Guys know they can plays behind him. This is as good a team win weve had in a long time. Said McConnell: We all chipped in as a team. It was a great team effort. Half Moon Bay started strong, working the ball inside to Simanek in the rst quarter, building a 9-5 lead after one quarter of play. In the second, SHP found its rhythm, outscoring the Cougars 7-2 to take a 12-11 lead on a Ian Bennett 3-pointer with 5:36 to play in the half. Simanek put the Cougars back on top with a layup, but a bucket from McConnell and a slash to the hoop by Galliani gave the Gators a 16-13 advantage. A Floyd layup sparked a 8-0 run for Half Moon Bay and when Nuno scored the second of back-toback baskets, the Cougars enjoyed a 21-16 lead with 1:28 left in the half. But back-to-back 3s from McConnell and McNamara gave the Gators a one-point lead at halftime. After McConnell made one of two
ferent players score in the third quarter alone as they outscored the Monarchs 20-12. They scored the rst six points of the second half to tie the score at 26 and neither team led by more than a few points the rest of the way. Over the nal eight minutes, however, Serra managed only nine points, while Mitty scored 16. The game started well for Serra as the Padres scored the rst seven points of the game. Mitty came roaring back, however, going on a 12-0 run as the Padres went 3:05 without a bucket. Mitty led 17-11 after the rst period. The Monarchs pushed their lead to the largest of the game, opening the second quarter with a 7-1 run to take a 24-12 lead with 6:21 to play in the half. Serra nally responded, however, outscoring the Monarchs 8-2 to end the half and trailed just 26-20 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Padres got both its offense and defense going. Grosey was especially effective in the low post taking advantage of Peters in the block. Peters couldnt handle Grosey alone so the Monarchs brought a double team. Time and again, Grosey deftly passed out of the double team and found wide open teammates, who hit the open shots. The Padres hit 8 of 16 eld goals in the third quarter, equally their rsthalf output. Despite the loss, the Padres still qualied for the Northern California tournament by making the CCS nals. free throws to open the second half, Marshall gave Half Moon Bay its last lead of the game when he drained a 3 with 7:21 left in the third. A Spencer White drive to the rack tied the game at 27, but that would be as close as Half Moon Bay would get as the Gators built its lead back to three after three quarters and steadily pulled away in the fourth period. The line between winning and losing is small, Forslund said. They took some things away from us. They did a good job of penetrating in the second half. They nished their chances. We didnt.

The Cougars managed just ve points over the rst four-plus minutes of the fourth quarter, while the Gators scored 12. From there, it was all about maintaining the advantage, and while SHP struggled from the free-throw line down the stretch, they had enough of a cushion to hold off the Cougars.

I really feel like we were prepared to play other teams in the CCS because of all the good teams we played in the Bay league this year, Callaghan said. Six out of eight teams that we played in the Bay league went to the CCS playoffs. So all year long, weve been playing playoff-caliber teams, week in and week out. We felt well prepared to play against top quality teams going into the playoffs. Willow Glen isnt an easy foe. The Rams are the reigning CCS Division II champion and are making their third straight trip the nals. I think we have to maintain our discipline, Callaghan said. Theyre a very good team. We know were going to have to bring our A game. We have to stay disciplined in our positioning because I expect them to be very good with the ball, be able to move the ball around and we cant chase the ball defensively and get out of position. So, thats going to be a key for us. And then, just playing our game, doing the same things weve been doing all year nothing too different offensively, but really just maintaining our discipline. I think thats going to be very important. While the Bearcats go in expecting to compete, win or lose, San Mateo isnt minimizing the moment. Its denitely very exciting. Its a giant leap forward for San Mateo soccer, Callaghan. Down the Peninsula, Menlo-Atherton get their shot at a third CCS title when they face No. 3 Watsonville in the Division I nal. That game is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Gilroy High School. The Bears last won a CCS title in 1994 and are 18-15 overall in tournament play. Watsonville is coming off a 3-0 win over Mountain View and is looking for their ninth CCS title overall. They last won the ultimate prize in 2004. The Wildcatz are ranked No. 15 in the state

The Dons are 12-15-1 overall in CCS play. Against the West Catholic Athletic League, that record is much worse, 2-8-1, including a 1999 loss to Mitty. In those 11 games, the Dons were outscored 31-10. But Aragon is ring on the cylinders right now. Theyre fresh off a dramatic 4-3 win in a penalty shoot-out over the WCALs Presentation. And the Dons have numbers that mirror the Monarchs. In 2011-2012, Aragon has surrendered 13 goals and have 14 shutouts to its name. And the Dons are led by one of the most physical and talented back lines in the county. Not just gifted with their defending, but on offense as well, Aragon defenders have accounted for seven goals and 14 assists, lead by Rachel Killigrews eight. Offensively, speed will be the key for the Dons. They have two of the fastest in Angela Knowles and Addy Eveslage, as well as a player in Alexa Smith who has quietly tallied ve goals on the year. She is second on the team behind Knowles (13). Five other players have at least four goals. Kickoff for Saturdays championship is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. at Valley Christian High School in San Jose. A couple hours later, the Knights of Menlo will try to undo their co-champion hex when they take on Santa Cruz in the Division III nal. Game time for that matchup is 3 p.m. on the same eld. Menlo is 0-3-3 all time in CCS nals, while the Cardinals are ve-time section champions.
AragonLexie Rogers,left,is part of one of the best defensive unitys in the PAL. It will be tested against No. 1 seed Mitty in the CCS Division II nals Saturday at Valley Christian.
The two have met before in the playoffs, most recently in a thrilling quarternal game in 2010 that Santa Cruz won in overtime and rode to a championship. No. 4 Menlo is riding high, following a huge 1-0 upset win of No. 1 Scotts Valley in the seminals. Jaye Boissiere put the top seed away with a shot executed from the penalty spot in the 61th minute after Chandler Wickers drew the foul. The Knights are playing their best defense of the year, led in the back by Shannon Lucy, Hannah Rubin, Sienna Stritter and Alexandra Walker. Menlo will need a huge game from their junior keepers expect them to ride the hot hand of Julia Dressel.

The Sixers topped 100 points for the rst time in 20 games on the night they paid tribute to the record Chamberlain set for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, at the Hershey Sports Arena. The Sixers gave fans pieces of the court and honored Chamberlains sisters and former teammates during a halftime ceremony. On that memorable night, Chamberlain scored 41 points by halftime and 69 points through three quarters. The Sixers had 50 points at the break and 75 points through three on Friday. Andre Iguodala had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers. Thaddeus Young scored 16 points. Chamberlains single-game scoring record was never in jeopardy.

on a Performance Improvement Plan, Mayor Andy Klein wrote to board President Samuel Lerner. Klein sent that letter and a similar missive to the civil grand jury foreperson on Wednesday, Feb. 29 in hopes of sparking an investigation into the alleged embezzlement and the response of district management. Klein is also asking the Board of Supervisors and councils of the countys cities to join San Carlos in asking the grand jury to take up the matter. [T]hese matters needs to be done the sooner the better to restore the publics condence and faith in the work that all of us do as guardians of the public trust, Klein wrote in both letters. Lerner did not reply to an email inquiry for comment about the details of the performance plan and its oversight. San Carlos, like several other county cities, sends a representative to the district board but has no other direct investment in the special district. San Carlos trustee, Betsey Schneider, actually helped uncover the alleged embezzlement by questioning expenses in the districts

y friends and I are planning a big road trip to Southern California after we graduate in June. We have the whole trip mapped out from what hotel we will stay in, which car well take and who will drive to what we will do in SoCal and what well eat. Dreaming about the time we could spend at the happiest place on earth or the days we could spend carelessly lying on the beach simply enjoying the summer sun was the easiest part about planning our trip. Then came the discussion about nancing the trip. Factoring in the cost of gas, hotel, amusement park tickets and food, we realized that this trip could easily be more than $500 (or more) per person. We began strategizing ways to pay for this vacation but, neither a car wash nor a bake sale could pay for this trip in full. Thus began the never-ending job hunt at coffee shops, and at different stores in the mall. We understood that there is a tough job market however; one thing we failed to take into account was that in the midst of this tough job market, teens are suffering the most. Carlmont High School senior Avalon Pellegrini is among the many teens that long to have a job but has yet to nd one. I want to get a job so that I can start saving for college and to pay for my own things, but everywhere that Ive looked into, has either not called me back or not told me that theyre not hiring, she said. Pellegrini has submitted ve job applications in six months but has yet to nd an employer that would be willing to hire her for a parttime job. Analysis by The Employment Policies Institute (EPI) shows that the average unemployment rate for teenagers 16-19 years old is more than 20 percent and even closer to 50 percent in some areas.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
This Is Not a Filmtakes place entirely in Panahis Tehran apartment (with a few shots at the end in the elevator) over the course of a single day.
Everything about This Is Not a Film is cleverly deceptive, from the title thats so selfdeprecating, it sounds like a shrug to its long, rst take to its many quiet moments to the peaceful demeanor of its central figure: acclaimed Iranian lmmaker Jafar Panahi. But ultimately, in the span of just 75 minutes, it reveals itself to be a powerful statement about nothing less than the paramount importance of freedom and the driving urge for artistic expression. The documentary takes place entirely in Panahis Tehran apartment (with a few shots at the end in the elevator) over the course of a single day. This is the place where he was forced to dwell under house arrest while appealing a sentence of six years in prison and a 20-year ban on lmmaking and conducting interviews with foreign press. Panahi received this punishment for openly supporting the opposition party in Irans 2009 election. Hes no longer under house arrest but remains in limbo while awaiting his fate. This Is Not a Film was smuggled out in a cake just in time for screening at last years Cannes Film Festival. His imprisonment has become a bit of a cause celebre, but its signicance far transcends glittering Hollywood trappings. And so we see Panahi sitting at the kitchen
table, having breakfast. He talks to his lawyer on speaker phone. He invites a friend over whom we later learn is fellow lmmaker Mojtaba Mirtahmasb but is cryptic in his instructions. He smokes a cigarette out on the balcony and surveys the construction cranes that are altering his surroundings. But he punctuates these moments with interludes of obvious longing, as This Is Not a Film becomes both a tutorial and a celebration of moviemaking. With Mirtahmasb behind a digital video camera, Panahi takes us through the latest script he was hoping to shoot blocks off part of his living room with tape, acts it out, explains the motivations of the young woman whos his lead character. He shows clips from previous lms and tells stories from behind the scenes. At one subtly poignant point, he gets choked up from the sheer frustration of being restrained, from having his voice silenced. You dont have to be familiar with this mans body of work to feel a sympathetic connection with him. This Is Not a Film is simultaneously depressing as hell and brimming with hope and deance. With its stripped-down aesthetic, it nds poetry in the mundane and even boring details of daily life. And its an inspiring mustsee for anyone who feels the urgent need to create something beautiful and meaningful, no matter the cost.
Robert De Niro and Paul Dano play a father and son who reunite after 18 years of estrangement in Being Flynn, and they approach their roles in such polar opposite ways, its as if the actors themselves have been estranged, as well.
De Niro, as the alcoholic, ex-con, would-be novelist Jonathan Flynn, is all delusional bombast; he insists everything he writes is a masterpiece, and his bravado barely masks his insanity. Dano, as Flynns aimless, hipster son, Nick, may actually have some talent and insight as a poet but hes meandering between jobs, homes and girlfriends.

AN UPHILL CLIMB
FUR, FINS, FEATHERS AND FLIPPERS, HOTEL MONACO DENVER WELCOMES ITS ANIMAL GUESTS. No, Mr. Popper was not along when Pete the Penguin recently checked into the famously pet-friendly Hotel Monaco Denver, a member of The Kimpton Hotels family. Pete, a Magellan penguin, arrived with an entourage from SeaWorld San Diego, one of the many animal afliated groups that choose Hotel Monaco Denver as a function headquarters. While penguins check in only occasionally, dogs and cats (and their human companions) are regulars, drawn by the hotels hosPETality program that makes all species feel at home (the names of arriving pet guests are posted on a dogshaped welcome board near the hotels front door). General Manager Von DeLuna said, Kimpton as a company has always been pet-friendly and Hotel Monaco Denver is no different. We welcome pets of all shapes and sizes and consider our furry guests a top priority because we know how important their pets are to our human guests. The Hotel Monaco Denver imposes no additional charge or deposit on guests who have their animals stay in their room and there is no size or weight limit. The hotel offers dog walking and sitting services; an exercise area within walking distance; and a list of nearby veterinarians upon request. Complimentary pet services and amenities include pooperscooper bags; an in-room bowl for food and water; a doggie mat; a dog park map; and walks by loving staff. WOULD YOU LIKE A FISH WITH YOUR ROOM? Traveling without your pet? No problem. Hotel Monaco Denver is happy to provide you an in-room, named goldfish (Gus, Bradley, Susie, Frank or Lucy) during your visit. (Oh, and if your stay-at-home sh gets jealous, consider giving your own aquatic companion a chic Kimpton Fish Hotel and Condo. www.kimptonstyle.com.) HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE. The intimate European-style Hotel Monaco Denver occupies two connected repurposed buildings on the National Register of Historic Places: the stately 1917

Railway Exchange building and the sleek 1937 Art Moderne Title Building, both designed by the notable Colorado architectural rm Fisher & Fisher. The vaulted star-spangled lobby ceiling by veteran hospitality designer Cheryl Rowley crowns a colorful and comfortable gathering space whose walls are hung with Western-themed pieces by Hampton Hall. CHEF ELISE WIGGINS DAZZLES AT PANZANO. The star of Hotel Monaco Denvers AAA Four Diamonds restaurant Panzano is Chef Elise Wiggins, named Colorado Chef of the Year by the American Culinary Federation. Wiggins is the charming and energetic heart of a cooking team that moves with ballet-like precision preparing Panzanos signature Northern Italian dishes and it is a delight to watch as it all happens. Wiggins said, One of the things I like best about the layout of Panzano is the chefs counter, 15 seats right in front of the cook line. As a chef, I love stopping and talking to tables in the dining room but theres nothing better than interacting with guests while theyre enjoying their food right in front of you at the chefs counter. Wigginss specialties include Carbonara a la Panzano (tagliatelle with house-cured pancetta, Grana Padano and cracked black pepper, topped with a fried egg), Crespelle ai Funghi (mushroom stuffed crepes, fonduta sauce and white trufe oil) and the award-winning Caesar Griglia (grilled hearts of romaine, anchovies, garlic and Parmesan). Save room for Dolci, perhaps a Torta di Carota (carrot cake with Meyer lemon curd, pine nut brittle and crme fraiche gelato), a Ricotta Cannoli (house made ricotta, with pineapple syrup and basil oil) or Panna Cotta al Cioccolato (garnished with mint Devon cream and candied walnuts). Wiggins also merges Panzanos Northern Italian focus with gluten-free dietary concerns to create Cavolini di Bruxelles (fried Brussels sprouts tossed with apple cider reduction, pistachios, rosemary salt and sliced green apple), Piccolo Pollo (slow roasted petite chicken stuffed with duxelles and speck with a black cardamon risotto and hazelnut pan jus) and Costole Breve (braised short ribs with sweet potato puree, mushroom demi and a trufed vanilla bean foam). Named one of Americas top restaurants by Zagat, Panzanos motto is Chi Mangia Bene, Viva Bene (who eats well, lives well) and Chef Elise Wiggins sees that it is so. *** Hotel Monaco Denver is at 1717 Champa St., four blocks from the Colorado Convention Center, three blocks from the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and within walking distance of historic Larimer Square and 16th Street Mall.

ew cities are as physically vertical as Hong Kong, from its skyscraper buildings looming above the streets of Central to the geographical heights of Victoria Peak and Lantau Island. Another infamous aspect of the city is the variety of transportation available from typical modes like the Mass Transit Railway to the more unique Star Ferry and Peak Tram. An experience that combines Hong Kongs vertical nature with its varied modes of transport is riding the Mid-Levels Escalator, the worlds longest escalator system. The Mid-Levels Escalators runs for more than 800 meters, connecting the Central and Western Districts of Hong Kong Island. It is an outdoor, covered escalator system that was initially proposed to give commuters another transportation option. Instead, it has revitalized the Mid-Levels residential area (including one neighborhood halfway up the ladder, coined SoHo) and provided an apt spot for people-watching.

as detailed in Nick Flynns best-selling memoir Another (Expletive) Night in Suck City. Of course, that title wouldnt have own at theaters, but Being Flynn is an unfortunately forgettable substitute. De Niros taking big bites out of one of the meatier and more serious roles hes had in a while; Dano, meanwhile, is dialed down and constantly reacts with deadpan incredulity. Individually, they achieve some compelling moments. But rather than providing an intriguing contrast, these disparate performances undermine the cohesion and ow of writerdirector Paul Weitzs lm. Things spiral out of control pretty quickly as a couple thousand people show up and trash the place, which admittedly does get amusing and provides an escalating energy. Costas nearly incessant chatter offers consistent laughs, although its clear pretty quickly that he (like the film itself) is woefully one-note. Theres a cute subplot involving the scrawny 12-year-olds Costa has hired as security guards and the run-ins they have with Thomas annoyed neighbors. But only about an hour in, Project X grows repetitive and starts running out of steam, and you begin to wonder what could possibly occur over the remaining 30 minutes or so. And not to get all mom-ish, but it does send a disturbing message to teens under the guise of edgy entertainment. If you provide a setting and the means for strangers to get hammered, it will make you cool. If you are a young woman who wants approval, you must get naked and give up the goods. The one girl who gets the benefit of any sort of characterization is Thomas childhood friend Kirby (Kirby Bliss Blanton), who has tomboyish, girl-next-door cool as well as blonde, Blake Lively-esque good looks. Shes just part of the elaborate fantasy that the films target audience will gladly buy into without question. Project X, a Warner Bros. release, is rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem all involving teens. Running time: 88 minutes. Two stars out of four. able positions. And although all teenagers might have different reasons for wanting to have a job, the one thing that most of us have in common is the lack of employment opportunities available.

Theyre forced to get to know each other when Jonathan, suddenly nding himself red from his job as a cab driver and homeless, turns up at the shelter where Nick works (because Nick has nothing better to do, not because he has some great, altruistic urge to improve humanity). This might sound like a massive plot contrivance, except it actually happened,
The famously committed De Niro may actually be too convincingly obnoxious here, and a lot of that has to do with the singularity with which the character is written on the page. His character is a bloviating, condescending, hateful racist, and then all of a sudden at the end were expected to embrace him. Dano at least gets to experience more of an evolution, as Nick delves into substance abuse and recovery and falls into and out of a relationship with one of his co-workers, played by Olivia Thirlby. The other woman in Nicks life his hardworking but self-destructive mother, played by an underused Julianne Moore he recalls in

from a script by Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Matt Drake, does indeed have some semblance of a plot, flimsy though it may be. (Todd Phillips, director of the Hangover movies, is one of the films producers.) Shy, sweet-faced Thomas (Thomas Mann) is turning 17, and his fast-talking, super-confident best friend Costa (Oliver Costa) insists that they need to throw the mother of all ragers at his Pasadena home to celebrate. It will make them popular, Costa promises and more importantly, it will get them laid. Tagging along is their nerdy, awkward pal J.B. (Jonathan Daniel Brown), who thinks hes more sophisticated than he really is. So if youre keeping score at home, Thomas is the Michael Cera figure, Costa is Jonah Hill and J.B. is Christopher MintzPlasse. Thomas parents just happen to be going out of town for their wedding anniversary, and they dont even begin to suspect that Thomas and his friends have the potential for hedonism. But they do, and theyve enlisted the mostly unseen (and undeveloped) Dax (Dax Flame) to videotape everything. Although, like the recent Chronicle, which also was based on the well-worn found-footage concept, Project X eventually must rely on other sources and perspectives.

liking to a different aspect of production, he said. The goal of Fresh Takes is not a narrow one. For now, Liebengood is simply encouraging the students to follow their own multimedia interests. Im really impressed by their interest to keep with it, he said. If I can get one kid on a career path every year that would be great. Fresh Takes has been a learning experience for Liebengood too. He knows editing, but for teaching other programs in animation, for example, he has sought out other professionals to come teach. I just want to get them feeling comfortable being part of a production team, he said. Whether theyre sound, light, director, editor, you have work together. And watching teens collaborate is quite a sight. Thats something you gotta see, he said. I say to them, how can you listen to each other when youre all talking at the same time?! The students collaborate and some have also started their own projects. One 14-year-old student, Toren Fronsdal, is working on a 15-minute documentary on hunger on the Peninsula. As he loads footage of people ling into a San Jose soup kitchen onto a computer, he explains the documentary is for his eighth grade project. The staff at the kitchen would only let him lm outside, he said. Fronsdal learned how to edit lm using Apples software program Final Cut Pro from his time at Fresh Takes. The regular crew that frequents the studio does so free of cost. For now, the center is surviving on donations from big partners. But Liebengood senses donations will not be a sustainable source of revenue. Beginning in April, the center will begin offering short-term workshops to the community for a fee. Workshops will be on video and music production, editing (using Final Cut Pro), animation and photography. Fresh Takes already offers inter-session classes to Summit and Everest Prep abuse, I will recommend strong disciplinary action, said Superintendent Jan Christensen. All employees sign a document when they are hired acknowledging their role as a mandated reporter if they suspect child abuse. All district employees, new and existing, will be required to participate in an online training course of the topic. But the father of the 5-year-old boy said questions about the teachers behavior began well before an aide came forward. Their child has been at the Roosevelt program for more than two years. They noticed right away their son came home hungry, dehydrated, having not eaten provided food, and displaying odd behavior, said attorney Chris Dolan, who is representing the family. The 5-year-old boy with limited verbal skills often mimics behavior actions and emotions. He began to scream at himself and later displayed violent behavior toward his younger sister, said his father. The parents said they met with school and district officials multiple times only to be told each time that they were being overly sensitive. Then, in early February, the family got a message on their home phone from the school district which simply said a teacher had been put on leave and was being investigated for allegations of abuse. The family had no idea their son might be involved until they listened to the next voicemail. The Redwood City The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. When the budget is changed to include vehicles, safety equipment, overhead costs and other costs, the annual budget is raised to $7.27 million. The sheriffs proposal of $4.56 million includes Millbraes own police chief and offers jobs for most employees currently in the department. Millbrae will be given credit for some equipstudents in which students work in fourperson production teams. The teams nish the two-month course with a short lm under their belt. The inter-session classes have worked well in the past, said Liebengood. The center also offers summer camps that teach lming and editing to kids aged 10-14. Liebengood doesnt seem to mind that the students have yet to collectively take an interest in producing journalism pieces. Back in his days as a sportscaster, there was the necessity for really crafting a story, he said. Now, in todays broadcast environment, its, he said, all news, all the time. And this new fastpaced media environment can sometimes produce sloppy work, he said. Liebengood decided to retire after running his own video production company in San Jose. He then spent 10 years working on his golf game which, he said, did not improve much. I said what are you doing here? said Liebengood. I wasnt contributing anything to anyone. As Rotary Club president and a friend of the Police Activities League, Liebengood realized that he needed to do something to serve youth. Being married to the mayor of Redwood City, Alicia Aguirre, was also a major source of inspiration for Liebengood. Aguirre has always been active in the community, he said. The Fresh Takes team is also doing good community work. Many of their media projects are for nonprots. In discussing the SAL project, the team decides to take lm of the mentoring programs upcoming soccer game. Carter warns the crew that her SAL mentors may not be well prepared for a camera interview. As a documentary person, I dont like them to be prepared, said Liebengood. Because then it comes off fake, said one of the students. Exactly, said Liebengood. For more information on Fresh Takes classes visit www.freshtakes.net. Police Department had called wanting to talk with them about their son. Details of what each child possibly experienced has not been openly shared with the family, they say. For the district, the investigations focused on proper reporting procedures, said Christensen. Information from the police investigation is now at the District Attorneys Ofce. Releasing such details could influence witnesses and create problems for the case against Bogdis, explained Guidotti, who admitted the situation is a tough one. Both families expressed a feeling of betrayal. Their children were allowed to be brought back to an environment that wasnt safe. Both boys are struggling behaviorally, according to the families. Christensen said the district recently hired a special education consultant to work with the department on a variety of issues including determining the best placement for the children. Moving forward, the families have put a focus on the issue of reporting in hopes of avoiding a similar situation being repeated. How would you feel if that was your child, your brother or sister, and they were scared and they were hurt? And, they couldnt even say, Dont send me to school because Im afraid of being hurt? said the father of the 5-year-old boy. The weakest of weak were being picked on. ment while charged for others. The Millbrae Police Bureau will remain at 581 Magnolia Ave., open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. San Mateo County already covers dispatch services for the city, so that will remain the same.

cant believe what it is now, said Liebengood, who worked as a sportscaster for both KCRA, Sacramento and KRON, San Francisco. Since August, 12 students have come to Fresh Takes several days each week to work on multimedia projects. The Fresh Takes team has produced a video for an anti-bullying campaign and a commercial for the Fox Theatre, which will be airing on cable television. Sixteen-year-old Sean Story, one of two Fresh Takes employees, is the rst to arrive at the center one afternoon. Story, a longtime piano player, took it upon himself create the Fresh Takes recording studio out of a small closet space in the media center. He did some research on what was needed to create the proper recording acoustics. The studio walls are now checkered with jagged foam blocks to create the perfect sound. One wall outside the studio displays pictures of several young hip-hop artists who have recorded there. Along with the recording studio, the center has a green screen and four professional grade cameras. As the other students begin to le in, they gather excitedly around Liebengoods new toy: a camera dolly. The mobile camera stand will allow for better movement shots, said Liebengood. Story then ushers the team to computer stations in another room. This particular afternoon, Gigi Carter from the Sheriffs Activities League (SAL) is asking Fresh Takes to make a promotional fundraising video for the SAL mentoring program. The group watches several examples of promotional videos on a large at-screen television in the front of the room. Liebengood nods to different people as issues of animation, lighting and editing come up. Each person has taken a

BOGDIS
Continued from page 1
appears to be physically OK but demonstrates behavior changes that he has been harmed and has seen harm, said Emanuel. The district placed Bogdis on leave Feb. 1 after hearing allegations about her classroom conduct. She was arrested two days later. Bogdis, who is out on bail, is due back in court in May to set a jury trial date. She told reporters after this weeks arraignment that she, never abused a child. Investigators believe Bogdis slapped a student, twisted a students wrist and kicked the back of a chair, causing a desk to move forward and strike a student. She is also accused of depriving a child of food and kicking a child in the stomach. Since then, the district conducted both an internal and independent investigation which showed six employees knew of the possible abuse but did not alert anyone as mandated by law. Those workers could theoretically be prosecuted for violating their duty as mandated reporters but it is more likely they will serve as witnesses in Bogdis prosecution. If at any time we have clear evidence that any other employee knows of child

Each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.

SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There are some days when adjustments must be made if you hope to get along harmoniously with your mate, and this might be one of them. Do what you have to do in order to keep the peace. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just because others are willing to do things for you, dont carry matters too far. If you knowingly cross the line and take advantage of others kindness, theyll drop you like a hot potato. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Not being a very good people reader could cause you all kinds of complica-
tions, such as rewarding the undeserving while ignoring pals who have always been there for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be absolutely certain the objectives you establish for yourself are ones that you really want to achieve. You are likely to succeed at accomplishing feats of little worth. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Words mean something, so be careful not to quote someone out of context and thereby completely distort what that person was trying to say. You could do him or her a great disservice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A friendship could be put in jeopardy if you place more emphasis on your pals material worth rather than his or her inner being. Money cant buy true comradeship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others arent likely to tolerate it if you try to impose your views or opinions on them. Unfortunately, you might not even realize it if and when you are being unduly assertive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you not to make any promises that you might not be able to keep. For the sake of harmony in a quality relationship, you would be better off bowing out now rather then reneging later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Regardless of how well thought out it may be, this might not be one of your better days for taking a risky financial gamble. Let things rest a bit before going out on a limb and doing something impulsive. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Much to the dis-
may of your family and friends, you sometimes feel it necessary to champion an unpopular cause. This might be one of those days when youll do so again, with similar results. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who has crossed swords with you several times might once again engage you in some fencing. Keep in mind that this persons temper can be as short as yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont allow any kind of brashness to take precedence over your common sense. Your chances of coming out ahead, especially in a financial matter, are slim to none.

TEHRAN, Iran The younger sister of Irans Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday failed to win a parliamentary seat in Ahmadinejads hometown as the presidents conservative rivals won a big portion of the seats in early returns. The semiofficial Mehr news agency reported the final results from a small town southeast of the capital showing that Parvin Ahmadinejad, a close ally of the president, was defeated by her conservative rival. Parvin Ahmadinejad was running for a seat in Garmsar, about 35 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of Tehran. She is a current member of Tehrans municipal council. Her failure in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejads hometown is seen as a big blow to him in the first balloting since his dis-
puted re-election in 2009. Early returns also showed conservative rivals of Ahmadinejad were elected in many other constituencies. Out of 60 winners, at least 46 conservative opponents of Ahmadinejad had won seats in parliament. Three other liberal-leaning candidates were elected. The tendency of the remaining 11 can be divided between supporters of Ahmadinejad and centrists. More than 3,440 parliamentary hopefuls all vetted by Irans ruling Islamic system and none with links to the Green Movement that led protests after Ahmadinejads reelection were running for seats. The early results suggest Ahmadinejad will face a more belligerent parliament in the nearly two years remaining in his second fouryear term. Nationwide, final results are expected to be released during the weekend and early next week.
Results in small towns, with few representatives in parliament, appear sooner than cities like the capital, Tehran, which has some 5 million eligible voters and 30 legislators. The new parliament will begin its work in June. It is expected to boost the voices of hard-line opponents of Ahmadinejad in next years presidential elections. The results for the 290-seat parliament will have no direct inuence over Irans nuclear program or other critical affairs, such as military or oil policies. However, high turnout could heighten Tehrans deance of the international communitys effort to halt Irans nuclear program, which the West suspects is trying to build a weapon, a charge Iran denies. Mehr said some 70 percent of more than 48 million eligible voters participated in the Friday elections. In 2008 and 2004, the turnout for parliamentary elections was 57 percent and 51 percent, respectively.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama warned that he is not blufng about attacking Iran if it builds a nuclear weapon, but in an interview published Friday, Obama also cautioned U.S. ally Israel that a premature attack on Iran would do more harm than good. In his most expansive remarks on the issue thus far, Obama told The Atlantic magazine that Iran and Israel both understand that a military component is among a mix of many options for dealing Barack Obama with Iran, along with sanctions and diplomacy. That is the most direct threat he has issued during months of escalating tension with Iran over its disputed nuclear development program. His comments appeared aimed more at Israel and its supporters in the United States than at Iran. Obama addresses the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Sunday and meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday at the White House. Netanyahu will also address AIPAC. I think that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I dont bluff, he said in the interview. I also dont, as a matter of sound policy, go around advertising exactly what our intentions are. But (both) governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say. Netanyahu, speaking Friday ahead of a meeting in Canada with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, called Irans nuclear ambitions a grave threat to the peace and security of the world, and I think its important that the international community not allow this threat to materialize. As for Israel, like any sovereign country, we reserve the right to defend ourselves against a country, against a country that calls and works for our destruction, Netanyahu said.
