Belmont Chamber President Michael Anthony Kazarian is likely to take the stand to fight charges that he molested his former girlfriend’s 8-year-old daughter -- making this the second high-profile molestation case of the year that heads to court in the County.
Bill Clinton stopped through South City yesterday to stump for Lt. Gov./Congressional wannabe John Garamendi. The event was meant for the former President to support Garamendi in his bid for Congress… Naturally, Clinton used the mic to endorse health care reform, proving once again that there is no microphone that Bill Clinton doesn't love.
Taking up President Clinton's call to action: Pacficans from Riptide are calling on everyone to pressure Congress for healthcare reform with a public option. Do it by Oct. 15!
Burlingame and San Mateo want to adopt “quiet zones” to deal with the deafening Caltrain horns. Meanwhile, Caltrain is blowing $200 grand to get its “toots” and “tweets” to a level that the public can handle.
Here is another story about flushing money down the toilet... literally flushing the toilets in the prisons...
Redwood City Police are looking for at least five people who lured a 26-year-old man into to a street corner and shot him. Nice. "Violence best by government test..."
Menlo Park seems to have grossly miscalculated its budget expenditures… by about $400,000. Is that what happens when cities lay off much-needed employees?
Jason McGlown was convicted of felony child abuse for force-feeding his 13-year-old mentally disabled son drink numerous juice boxes as punishment for stealing his teacher's drink. Gross.
And finally, political turmoil in Half Moon Bay. Bruce at the PP Examiner takes a look...

Morning News Round-Up -- 2.11.09: Sensitivity Training (not yet) mandatory in Palo Alto...
What is is about Palo Alto public officials and talking about race and ethnicity? Last year, Palo Alto lost Police Chief Lynne Johnson because of stupid comments, now the Palo Alto Unified School District Superintendent is back tracking on comments about the achievement gap. Is the clock ticking on Kevin Skelly now too?
The County is really pissed. (Watch Dog has predicted a Tea Party...) The State is going to withhold money from the County because the State is out of cash. IOUs have a way of making people angry. Especially Supervisor Gordon, who said: “We will burn through our reserves fairly quickly and then what?” And then throw tea in the Bay Supervisor Gordon!
In a related note, Supervisors Gordon and Church will be heading to Sacramento for a California Constitution Summit in Sacramento on February 24th...presumably to help with the Tea Party...
Watch Dog has written about Everest Charter School (likely) getting its Charter. Well, one Charter School (Garfield Elementary Charter) is going from Charter School back to standard Public School (Redwood City Elementary School District).
The South San Francisco 12-story eye-sore/development will be occupied by the end of the year (hopefully)...Marketing was kicked off yesterday by giving tours to the South City City Council. The tour guide didn't say, "Isn't 101 a beautiful highway?!" While the developers are obviously trying to paint a rosy picture of the prospects for tenants, the County Times story paints a different picture...
We read (and wrote about) reports about the weekend robbing/sexual assault at a San Bruno gas station...well, it turns out there is a video that not only shows the assailant, but also shows him helping customers...a friendly criminal...
Daily Journal Editor Jon Mays discussed banning Styrofoam...(there is a proposed ban pending in San Bruno)...Specifically, Mays talks about Lt. Gov. John Garamendi's plan for a statewide ban. What else is there for the Lt. Gov. to do these days?...
Speaking of bans...the County Times provides us all an update on the Belmont smoking ban that went into effect last month. It turns out that nobody is coughing up a lung complaining about it yet...
The Fed’s showed up in Palo Alto’s Utilities Department and left with 7 boxes filled with documents about the qualifications (or lack thereof) of pipeline workers. Utilities' Director Valerie Fong isn’t worried, Palo Alto conducted its own investigation after questions were raised about employee qualifications. Fong said, “Our own assessment was that these tests were conducted with integrity, and the folks who work on the gas pipeline were indeed qualified."
