From left, Sen. Marco Rubio, Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz speak at the debate sponsored by CNN.
HOUSTON Brawling from the getgo, a fiery Marco Rubio went hard after
Donald Trump in Thursday nights
Republican debate, lacerating the
front-runners position on immigration, his privileged background, his
speaking style and more.
Ted Cruz piled on, too, questioning
the front-runners conservative credentials, as the two senators tag-teamed
Trump in a debate that reflected the
increasing urgency of their effort to
take down the billionaire businessman
before he becomes unstoppable. It was
a rare night where the bombastic
Trump found himself on the defensive.
The two-hours-plus debate played
out as a raucous night of tit-for-tat
insults, with candidates shouting over
one another so much that it was hard to
follow at times. The showdown came
just days before the Super Tuesday 11state round of mega-voting that could
all but lock up the nomination.
When Trump faulted Rubio on a deal
to buy a $179,000 house, the Florida
senator shot back that if Trump hadnt
inherited $200 million, you know
where Donald Trump would be right
now? Selling watches in Manhattan.
In another rough exchange, Rubio
accused Trump of shifting his position
on deportation, hiring people from
other countries to take jobs from
Americans and being fined for worker
violations. Joining in, Cruz criticized
Trump for suggesting he alone had
discovered the issue of illegal immigration.
Trump shot back at Rubio: I hired
tens of thousands of people. Youve
hired nobody.
As for Cruz, Trump took a more personal tack, touting his own ability to
get along with others and adding:
You get along with nobody. ... You
A self-described unifier,
Kasich not always Mr. Nice in Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio In the Republican presidential
campaign, Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the hug-addicted
happy warrior, a Mr. Nice Guy swimming
in a tank of sharks.
Thats not quite the governor Ohioans
know.
After his election in 2010, Kasich
butted heads with unions and tea party
activists alike. He barreled into
Columbus with a tone that was anything
but patient, warning Statehouse lobbyJohn Kasich ists if youre not on the bus, we will run
over you with the bus. By his own admission actually, a
boast he shook everything from top to bottom.
Kasich preaches a similar line against the status quo in
his White House bid, but his manner sets him apart from the
slash-and-burn tone of a race with the hard-charging, bombastic billionaire Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at
the top.

OPINION
my observation,
the women in the
UAE are doing an
excellent job.
While the UAE is
a young country,
Egypt is very rich
in its history, culture and contribution to civilization. Egypt and its
stability are extremely important to
international trade and U.S. interest
vis-a-vis the Suez Canal and the fact it
has the largest population in the Arab
world, as we learned during our meeting with Steven Beecroft, U.S.
ambassador to Egypt. The country is
currently going through a very sensitive period. The threat of terrorism in
Egypt is real but it is unfortunate it
seems the population is being asked
to choose between security and civil
rights and freedom. I hope we will
never entertain that in the United
States and Im thankful and appreciative for the security and freedom we
take for granted. Whats more worrisome is that more than 45 percent of
the population is under 35 and they
are not being heard or given the
opportunity to play a role in determining the countrys future. That is a
recipe for disaster.
The third country we visited was
Lebanon, where I was born and raised
prior to immigrating to the United
States. Being away from Lebanon for
some years, I was excited and this trip
gave me a different perspective.
Lebanon never ceases to amaze me
with its resiliency; decades of civil
war and now hosting more than 1.5
million Syrian refugees for a country
with a population of 4.5 million. To
put it in perspective, these numbers
equate to the United States hosting
106 million refugees. Yet somehow
Lebanon survives on insufcient
assistance from the underfunded
United Nations Relief and Works
Agency and the international community. The highlights of this trip were
the visits to the refugee camps; they
were also the most heartbreaking
experiences. We visited the Shatila
and Burj El Barajneh refugee camps in
Beirut. The inhabitants of Burj El
Barajneh are mostly Palestinian

A stroke of luck
Community college coaches are always
on the hustle to recruit players. Unlike their
four-year counterparts, athletes do not officially commit to a community college
program. As any JC coach will tell you,
they dont know for sure who is on the team
until the first day of official practice.
But every now and then, the sports gods
will smile upon a JC coach and drop a statecaliber athlete right in their lap.
Such was the case for the CSM womens
swim team and coach Randy Wright. He
already had a returning All American in
Morgan Smith, a sophomore out of El
Camino, and now he expects to have another by the end of the season in Erica Vong
a freshman by way of Macau, China.
She was originally slated to swim for a
college on the East Coast, but because her
high school credits from Macau did not
transfer to the American school, she was
than just a
tax return!

Things were going so well for Mills in the

The Knights have struggled to find consistent scoring from someone and while that
search is still ongoing, they still had
enough to fend off the Dons. Schwarz finished with 13 points, but it was Ryan
Doherty who kept Hillsdale in the game by
scoring a game-high 15 points, hitting
three 3-pointers.
Weve been trying to get balanced scoring and its been a struggle. We havent had
that second scorer, Stevenson said. Ryan
had a strong preseason. In the middle of the
season, he struggled a little bit, but he stuck
with it.
Aragon was led by Nevan Samadhana,
who finished with 12 points on four 3pointers. Three of those 3s came in the third
quarter, to keep the Dons in the game.
Hes the heart and soul of our team,
Manu said. Hes not even our best shooter.
So, will Businger feel more responsibility next season, without Gibbs, as a senior?
For sure, Businger said. More scoring.
Definitely more of a role model for everybody.
With the win, Mills advances to
Saturdays quarterfinals to face a tough test
in No. 2 Soquel. The game, however, will be
played at Mills at a time to be determined, as
Mills was a predetermined neutral CCS

Johnny Vazquez who went 2 for 2 with an
RBI and one run scored sparked the rally
with a bunt single to lead
off the inning. After
Vazquez stole second,
Bismark
Hernandez
smoked an RBI double up
the gap in left-center, and
advanced to third on a
throwing error.
Johnny Vazquez had a
great leadoff at-bat
Jesser
got on and stole a base
Hernandez
... and then I got to 0-2,
got my pitch and just hit
it, Bizmark Hernandez
said.
Bismark
Hernandez
then plated the go-ahead
run on an RBI groundout
by Armin Webb. El
Camino then added an
insurance run with a twoout rally in the fourth.
Bismark
Slugging first baseman
Hernandez
Matt George banged a
long double off the fence in left-center.
Then Vazquez floated an RBI single to left,
giving the Colts a 3-1 lead.
The insurance run benefitted Jesser
Hernandez, who departed in the fifth after
surrendering his second run of the day. Still,
the seniors first opening-day start was all
SPORTS
about composure, according to Davidson.
He did a great job, Davidson said.
Jesser is a guy who gets really fired up.
Hes animated out there. ... For him to go
out there and get us to where we needed to
go, that was great.
Bismark Hernandez then emerged to keep
the lead in tact. Against his older cousin,
Washington had three straight batters reach
with one out. Declan Lloyd had the RBI single to plate David Scolari who was 3 for
3 with both Washington runs and knock
Jesser Hernandez out of the game.
The right-handed Bismark Hernandez
punched out the first batter he faced. Then
after a walk to load the bases, he bounced
back with another strikeout. The junior
totaled four strikeouts on the day, including
the final out as he retired the side in order in
the seventh.
The Colts also flashed some leather in the
outfield. Vazquez a returning varsity junior made a critical running catch in the
third, causing Washington to strand a runner at third. Vazquez was shading towards
right-center when Jacob Villarosa hit a
smash to the left-center gap; but Vazquez
got a great first step to make an all-out running catch breaking back on the long liner.
While clutch hitting was at a premium,
the Colts produced nine hits in the game,
and had a knock in every inning.
Weve got a lot of work to do ... but I do
think by the end of the year, this will be a
really good hitting team, Davidson said.
El Camino is Davidsons first varsity
managerial post. He served as the head
coach of the Carlmont junior-varsity team
from 2012-15. He started his coaching
career the previous season at his alma mater
Caada College. First-base coach Matt
Arbunich an Aragon graduate also
makes the jump to El Camino after serving
on Davidsons staff at Carlmont for three
seasons.

Bryce Alford and Tony Parker scored 15
apiece and Isaac Hamilton added 12 points
for the Bruins (15-13, 6-9 Pac-12), who have
lost four of six games in February to fall into
the bottom half of the Pac-12 standings.
The Bears started the second half on a 9-2

when Birds 3-pointer made it 42-27. But
they could not pull away as UCLA fought
back to cut the deficit to 59-55 on back-toback baskets by Parker and Jonah Bolden
with about six minutes to play.

HALIEWA, Hawaii There are two sayings that come along with the Eddie Aikau
big-wave surfing invitational: The bay
calls the day and Eddie would go.
For the first time in six years, the bay
and event organizers gave the nod
Thursday as a powerful and sustained swell
produced huge surf on Oahus North Shore.
Eddie, a famed lifeguard and big-wave surfer
who once protected these shores, most certainly would have gone.
Before the sun came up over the horseshoe-shaped Waimea Bay, organizers huddled together to make the final call on the
event, which has only run nine times in its
31-year history.
Eddie Aikuas brother, Clyde, announced to
a large crowd early Thursday morning that his
brothers namesake surfing contest was on.
Ive been riding Waimea Bay for over 40
years, and today has to be one of the best days
Ive ever seen, Aikau said. It is a go! he
added as the crowd came alive with whistles,
cheers and applause.
They got what they hoped for as huge sets of
monster waves crashed onto the outer reef of
the bay, producing some waves that organizers estimate were 60 feet tall.
Local Hawaii surfer John John Florence
won Thursdays event, catching four massive
waves for a total score of over 300 points.
Australias Ross Clarke-Jones took second,

CURVES AND INTERSECTIONS.
Albert Dicruttalo, a sculptor who works primarily with steel, stainless steel and bronze,
said: I am drawn to its toughness and the
challenge of forming it. I find many of the
shapes that inspire me in nature. The resulting sculptures are completely formal, often
comprised of compound curves that create
complex intersections and compelling linear
and volumetric elements. Dicruttalos
process is sometimes planned out in advance
with drawings, maquettes, or computer aided
design. Other times, it is intuitive and immediate, and often a combination of the two, in
which he begins with a deliberate idea that
changes organically through the process of
forming, fabricating and casting. He usually
creates several sculptures based on a single
theme each piece developing from the previous one until he feels the formal elements have been thoroughly investigated and
realized in a way that he responds to emotionally.

looked. It is filmmaking at its best.
COYLE:
Will Win: No one really knows. The
Revenant has the momentum, but consensus is elusive. Panicked voices everywhere
can be heard exclaiming The guilds are all
over the map! In the end, I go with The
Big Short because the Producers Guild has
been the best forecaster in recent years.
Should Win: It may lack some cinematic
punch, but the sturdy Spotlight is the
closest thing we have to a new Sydney
Lumet classic.
Should Have Been a Contender: Carol
and Creed. The absence here of Todd
Haynes majestic 50s dream is a glaring
oversight. And it took too long for people
to realize just how good Ryan Cooglers
Rocky sequel is.
BEST ACTOR
The Nominees: Bryan Cranston,
Trumbo; Matt Damon, The Martian;
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant;
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs; Eddie
Redmayne, The Danish Girl.
BAHR:
Will Win: DiCaprio. He had us at raw
bison.
Should Win: DiCaprios inevitable win
can be both boring and merited. If only we
could guarantee that the Academy was
choosing him for his actual performance
and not the behind-the-scenes suffering.
Should Have Been a Contender: When did
we start taking the greatness of the
Tarantino/Samuel L. Jackson pairing for
granted? Jacksons speechifying, Lincolnletter carrying Union soldier in The
Hateful Eight is a performance that will
live long beyond DiCaprios tussle with
that bear.
COYLE:
BEST ACTRESS
The Nominees: Cate Blanchett, Carol;
Brie Larson, Room; Jennifer Lawrence,
Joy; Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years;
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn.
BAHR:
Will Win: Brie Larson. She gives about
10 incredible performances in a single film
and has won everything so far.
Should Win: Obvious grit trumps nuance
at the Oscars, but Charlotte Rampling tore
out many a heartstring as a jealous woman
in 45 Years.
Should Have Been a Contender: Bel
Powley made the sexual awakening of a
teenager (with her moms adult boyfriend
no less) seem neither too exploitative nor
celebratory in the criminally underseen
The Diary of a Teenage Girl.
COYLE:
Will Win: Brie Larson has this in the bag.
Shes a terrifically natural performer and a
real talent. But, for me, she was better in
Short Term 12 than in the mawkishly
manipulative Room.
Should Win: In a strong field, Cate
Blanchett slips by because of the regularity
of her quality. In Carol, shes both devastating and exhilarating.
Should Have Been a Contender: Bel
Powleys hip-swinging 70s San Francisco
teenager in Diary of a Teenage Girl was a
sensational breakthrough.
BEST DIRECTOR
The Nominees: The Big Short, Adam
McKay; Mad Max: Fury Road, George
Miller; The Revenant, Alejandro G.
Inarritu; Room, Lenny Abrahamson;
Spotlight, Tom McCarthy.
BAHR:
Will Win: Alejandro Inarritu, and itll be
deserved and an incredible achievement.
Should Win: George Miller, and it will
also be deserved.
Should Have Been a Contender: There are
so many this year Ridley Scott (The
Martian) and Todd Haynes (Carol) among
them but I would like to have seen Sean
Baker in here for his incredibly inventive
and utterly engaging Tangerine.
COYLE:
Will Win: The Inarritu repeat seems to be
in effect. The Revenant isnt shy about its
filmmaking, but Inarritus audacious long
shots and ravishing frontier wilderness
offer a quality hard to come by: the awe of
something not seen before.
Should Win: George Millers Mad Max:
Fury Road is a crazy puzzle of a movie trying to stretch the language of film just like
The Revenant, but in opposite directions:
with rapid cutting and feverish surrealism.
Should Have Been a Contender: Andrew
Haighs 45 Years earned a nod for
Charlotte Rampling and acclaim for her costar, Tom Courtenay. But neither would have
been possible without the acutely observant eye of Haigh.

Phishing emails remain one of the
top causes of data breaches. While

forward to it, he said.
As construction has continued,
Kevranian said commerce throughout
Broadway has suffered due the pileup of
cars attempting to enter and exit
Highway 101.
The traffic congestion throughout
the area has been tremendous and it has
affected our businesses, he said.
Customers dont want to come to our
area.
Though the project is entering a new
phase of work, construction is expected to continue for roughly another 10
months, depending on weather,
according to Caltrans.
Once traffic is switched to the new
overcrossing, the old existing structure will be demolished.
Over two consecutive weekends in
March, opposing lanes of Highway
101 will be shut down to allow for
crews to bring down the former overcrossing.
Southbound lanes will close between
1 a.m. and 7 a.m. Saturday, March 12,

MEMORIES
Continued from page 1
Ishida, 90, still find time to tap together
whenever they can. Tap dancing has bonded
the women and helped them form a new
friendship well into their golden years.
These days its less dancing though and
more talking.
They are also uniquely bonded in another
way.
Both their families were sent to internment camps after Japan bombed Pearl
Harbor in 1942.
Ishida was a city girl living in San
Francisco when her father was abruptly
arrested and taken away. The remainder of
the family was forced to close their soda
fountain and candy shop on Sutter Street,
pack up their belongings and head off to
Tanforan race track in San Bruno where they
