Virginia Gov. shifts on abortion bill; revises measurePORTSMOUTH, Virginia

(Reuters) — Virginia’s RepublicanGov. Bob McDonnell yesterdayabruptly shifted his stance on ahotly-contested bill requiringwomen seeking abortions to have an

ultrasound, asking lawmakers torevise the legislation just before ascheduled vote.

Virginia’s House of Delegates bya vote of 65-32 approved the revisedbill, which calls for women to under-

go an abdominal ultrasound but notnecessarily a more invasive internalone as required under the originalmeasure. Whether the Senate willnow follow suit remains in doubt.

Satirized by television comedians

and savaged by opponents, the orig-inal version of the bill supported byMcDonnell drew a large crowd ofprotesters to the state capital inRichmond earlier this week.

A petition sent to McDonnell urg-

ing him to veto the bill containedmore than 33,000 signatures, accord-ing to NARAL Pro-Choice VirginiaExecutive Director Tarina Keene.

I know it’s not even Marchyet and we haven’t even hadthe one week off for SpringBreak, but the thought of sum-mer vacation is looming.

I recently looked at theschool calendar and calculatedthere are 11 weeks of summervacation. This being my firstsummer vacation where I needto find a place for Fia to go orfind someone to watch herwhile I’m at work, makes mea bit anxious.

11 weeks? Yep, 11 weeksof, oh my God, what am I going to dowith Fia while The Husband and I areworking?

11 weeks of camps? 11 weeks of scrambling to finding

care, things to do, and arranging vaca-tions.

11 weeks of doing something.Growing up, I remember long sum-

mer days. Day after day and week afterweek, with no plans or no agenda otherthan meeting up with the kids in theneighborhood to make our own fun.

We would make believe the backyard

was a pool, we’d ride bikesaround the block, we’d play inthe creek in the back and fillour days with good ol’ fashionfun.

I want Fia to have days sim-ilar to that. I want her to havethat feeling of downtime, oflong days playing with herfriends and making up worldsthat can be visited day afterday. But, things are different,both The Husband and I workand Fia won’t have days andweeks of a long lazy summer.

Instead I look at it as having 11weeks to fill.

I’m sure there will be a week or twoof family vacations, a week or two ofrelying on my family and friends towatch Fia while I’m at work, but at bestthat still leaves seven weeks or so of “Idon’t know what I’m going to do.”

Sure, there are oodles of fabulouscamps. There’s really something forevery child and it would be easy to signFia up do go to art camp one week, thenswim camp the next, then an outdoorcamp, to dance, to gymnastics, to sci-

ence to whatever we can think up.And yes, camps sound like fun and

I’m sure they are. But, the logistics ofwhat weeks have what camps and send-ing Fia into a new situation, a new placewith new people and a new routineevery week, doesn’t sound like fun.

And to add to the camp dilemma isthe cost, at $300 a pop, it adds up. Andit almost feels like going to camp weekafter week defeats the purpose of havinga summer.

So now I sit, still several weeks andeven months away from summer won-dering how I will work everything out,but I know it will. I know I’m notinventing the wheel or trying to figureout something that thousands of familiesface year after year.

So tell me, what do you do? How doyou fill those weeks of summer whileyou work? Seems like I’m missing apiece of the puzzle, can you help meout?

11 weeks of ‘What am I going to do?’

The March 2 deadline israpidly approaching for CalGrant applications, so familiesshould make sure to get theirmaterial completed.

For a great many studentsin our state there has sadlybeen very little incentive to dowell in school. Many of thesestudents come from low andmiddle income families withno realistic capabilities ofaffording higher education.

These students know from ayoung age that they will haveto work to support themselves or con-tribute to the family as soon as they areable.

Though some of these students still

summon the inner motivationto study hard and do well inschool, many others are handi-capped by this motivation bar-rier.

It’s easy to see why the typ-ical stresses and distractions ofadolescents can loom largerfor those who see no promiseof any academic advancementin the future.

More than 40 years ago thestate of California set a goal ofproviding access to highereducation for low and middle

income students. That goal became areality with the passage of funding forCal Grants. These are cash awards forcollege aid.

Again, The deadline for applicationthis year is March 2.

Cal Grant A provides full tuition andfees at a California State University orUniversity of California campuses, orup to $9,700 per year towards tuition ata private university. These funds areprovided to high school graduates witha 3.0 (B) or higher grade-point averagewhose maximum income ranges from$29,400 for recipients who are inde-pendent to $92,600 for students from afamily of six or more.

Cal Grant B provides $1,551, enoughmoney for fees, books, and some livingexpenses at a community college, ortuition at a CSU campus. Cal Grant Bstudents must have a 2.0 (C) or higher

MESA, Arizona (Reuters) — Rivals heapedcriticism on surprise front-runner RickSantorum in a debate among Republican pres-idential candidates yesterday, hoping to stallhis surge at a pivotal period in the 2012 cam-paign.

Mitt Romney, scrambling to fight backagainst a grave threat from Santorum, wentafter his chief rival early and often.

He tried to raise enough doubts aboutSantorum to make up for a deficit in the polls,with Michigan and Arizona to vote onFebruary 28 and set the table for the crucialMarch 6 “Super Tuesday.”

Former Massachusetts Governor Romneyrepeatedly questioned Santorum’s fiscal andsocial conservative credentials and criticizedhis time in the U.S. Congress when he was abacker of government spending projectsdeemed wasteful by critics.

“Don’t look at me, take a look in the mir-ror,” Romney told him at one tense juncturewhen Santorum accused Romney of backingmoderate policies in Massachusetts.

Romney put the former senator fromPennsylvania on the defensive for supporting amuch-derided $400 million “bridge tonowhere” project in Alaska that was eventual-ly abandoned.

Tempers flared between Santorum and

Romney frequently and at one point the twocandidates talked over each other, refusing tocede the floor.

At times the crowd booed. Debate modera-tor John King of CNN frequently let the twocandidates battle it out.

“When I was fighting for the Olympics, youwere fighting for the ‘bridge to nowhere,’”Romney told Santorum.

“You don’t know what you’re talkingabout,” Santorum snapped back. He insistedthat earmarks are subjected to public scrutinyand can be useful, although there has been amove among congressional Republicans toban them.

Santorum needs to build on his momentumgoing into the Arizona and Michigan primarieson February 28 and pave the way for SuperTuesday.

The Republican candidates are vying fortheir party’s nomination to challengeDemocratic President Barack Obama in aNovember 6 general election.

Santorum and Romney are in a close race inMichigan, according to opinion polls, withmost recent surveys showing the two dividedby 4 percentage points or fewer. A victory inMichigan is critical for Romney as he needs toprove he can win in the state where he wasborn.

Rep. Capps helps firefighterswith $193,000 grant

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND STAFF WRITER

Thanks to a federal grant, SantaBarbara City firefighters are about to geta breath of fresh air inside their own sta-tions.

Representative Lois Capps announcedthat the Santa Barbara Fire Departmentwould receive a $193,000 grant from theU.S. Department of Homeland Security’sAssistance to Firefighters Program toinstall fire engine exhaust ventilationsystems in all city fire stations.

“This is great news for the City ofSanta Barbara and the professional firefighters who work to keep our communi-ty safe every day,” Capps said in a writ-ten statement.

SB Fire Department administrativeservices manager Ronald Liechti saidfumes put out by the large fire enginescan be hazardous for firefighters on thejob.

“Our Firefighter’s health and safetywill be directly enhanced by lesseningtheir exposure to diesel exhaust, which

is a known carcinogen, in fire stationswhere they work and live,” Liechtisaid.

Santa Barbara Mayor HeleneSchneider said the grant’s timing could-n’t be better for fire crews.

“Our firefighters risk their lives everyday keeping our community safe and thisfunding which will be used to install fireengine exhaust ventilation systems in allCity Stations will help the City keepthem safe and healthy on a daily basis,”Schneider said.

“All of our officers are aware of theserobberies.”

Lt. McCaffrey said it is unusual forrobberies to take place at kiosks, particu-larly so many in such a short span oftime.

A mother of one of the city parking lotworkers who was robbed told The DailySound on Wednesday that the city needsto do more to protect employees. Shesaid city employees were not notifiedafter the first robbery in January.

“These are kids working there,” saidthe woman, who asked that she not beidentified to protect the identity of herdaughter.

The woman said that her daughter wastraumatized after she was held up at gun-point in January.

She underwent therapy sessions andhad to file for workers compensation.She was almost ready to go back towork, until Tuesday’s robbery happened.

“That’s like a total emotional thing,”the woman said, “to have someone thatyoung having a gun pointed at yourface.”

Santa Barbara Mayor HeleneSchneider said she spoke with Police

Chief Cam Sanchez about the crimes onWednesday.

“The police department is looking atthis as a top priority,” Schneider said. “Itis something that we are taking very seri-ously.”

Councilwoman Cathy Murillo saidshe is concerned about the young peopleand the senior citizens who mostly work

the kiosks. She’s planning a ride-a-longwith city cops this weekend and expectsto learn more about what’s going on.

“I don’t like it that city employees arefacing someone with a gun,” saidMurillo, who turned 51 on Wednesday.“I think it is desperate. I am hoping hewill be caught.”

Pawnshops accept wine as collateralSome U.S. pawnbrokers are taking

liquid assets - literally.Along with family jewels and fine art

they will accept wines as collateral forloans to help ease cash shortages of busi-nesses and people on all rungs of the eco-nomic ladder.

"You'd be amazed by how manywealthy individuals have terrible credit

ratings," said Jordan Tabach-Bank, headof Beverly Loan Co. in Beverly Hills,California.

"And besides, if you go to a bank, itcan take weeks or months to get a loan.When we make a loan, it's usually thesame day,"

lawyers, doctors and even Oscar win-ners.

"Most people have a vision of pawnshops as sad sites. But that's not the casehere," Tabach-Bank said. "I have a lot ofpeople who come in who have a businessopportunity and they need an infusion ofcash for business purposes."

SPORTSL.A. Pierce outlasts SBCC Vaqueros 7-6Joey Epperson went 4-for-5 with two dou-

bles on Wednesday but SBCC couldn’t over-come six errors and six walks in a 7-6, 10-inning baseball loss to L.A. Pierce at PershingPark.

“This was a hard loss but fortunately wehave two more games this week,” saidEpperson, a sophomore first baseman fromOrinda, Calif. “We’re making mistakes andwe’re a team that doesn’t make mistakes. …We’re walking guys and making errors butwe’re going to get better.”

Brandon Laubhan was 2-4 with three RBIsfor the Vaqueros (4-6), who dropped their sec-ond straight one-run game.

Santa Barbara jumped ahead 2-0 onLaubhan’s two-run double down the right-

field line in the first. The Brahmas (3-7)scored in three straight innings and took a 6-3lead in the top of the sixth.

Mark Jebbia started the Vaquero comebackwith an RBI single in the sixth. Epperson dou-bled and scored on Zach Zehner’s single to cutthe deficit to 6-5 in the seventh. Jebbia andSteven Reveles had two hits apiece.

In the bottom of the ninth, Joey Gonzalezsingled with one out and Laubhan delivered aclutch two-out RBI single to tie it at 6-6.SBCC closer Shane Turner came on to start the10th and gave up two walks and a run-scoringdouble to Matt Sanchez.

Pat Cavalier walked to start the SBCC 10thand went to second on a sacrifice bunt. MattLloyd pinch-ran for him but was left at secondwhen Jared Dinges flied to left and Jebbiastruck out looking.

The Vaqueros committed six errors, leadingto four unearned runs. Brendon Shoemakepitched the first 4 1/3 innings, allowing fiveruns (one earned) on four hits with five strike-outs and four walks.

Lucas Benenati, a freshman from SantaBarbara High, held the visitors to one run onfour hits over 4 2/3 innings, striking out sixand walking none.

“That’s the first time all year that ourdefense hasn’t played catch,” said coach JeffWalker. “Shoemake was short-rested by a dayand didn’t have his ‘A stuff’ but pitched wellenough to keep us in the game.

“Lucas gave us a big pick-me-up. We weredown by two and he kept us in it and allowedus to battle back and tie it in the ninth.”

Three SBCC pitchers combined for 13strikeouts.

Shoemake got all five of his strikeouts withthe batter looking at strike 3. Benenati fannedfive in a row at one point.

“We had a lot of good individual perform-ances but too many negative individual per-formances,” Walked added. “We have to a bet-ter job of playing together as a team.”

Epperson has 4 hits; Laubhan drives in 3

grade-point average with a maximum incomeof $42,100 for a family of four.

Cal Grant C awards help pay for tuitionand training costs at occupational or careercolleges. This $576 award is for books, toolsand equipment. An additional $2,592 mayalso be awarded for tuition at a school otherthan a California Community College. Toqualify, students must enroll in a vocationalprogram that is at least four months long at a

California Community College, private col-lege, or a vocational school. Funding is avail-able for up to two years, depending on thelength of the program.

Cal Grant B Competitive Awards are forstudents with a minimum 2.0 GPA who arefrom disadvantaged and low-income families.These awards can be used for tuition, fees, andaccess costs at qualifying schools whose pro-grams are at least one year in length. A CalGrant B Competitive Award can only be usedfor access costs in the first year, including liv-ing expenses, transportation, supplies and

books. Beginning with the second year, theCal Grant B Competitive Award can be usedto help pay tuition and fees at public or privatefour-year colleges or other qualifying schools.

It’s clear that the availability of these grantshas had the potential to change lives. It pro-vides students with the motivation to focuseven harder on their studies. If students dotheir part and earn good grades, money willno longer be a barrier to higher education.

This has been a landmark accomplishmentand it has spurred many students to workhard in school and fulfill their family’s

dreams and their own potential.With all these programs in place, the state

has made a strong commitment to higher edu-cation and accessibility for students. We willall reap the benefits of an educated workforce and an educated consumer base that canattain the job skills to earn the money toafford the goods and services produced byour economy. Truly these grants are a win-win situation for all.

Casa Blancawelcomesnew chefOnofreZuniga

abortion opponent and possible contender forvice president, withdrew his support and askedfor changes to the bill.

“Mandating an invasive procedure in orderto give informed consent is not a proper rolefor the state,” McDonnell said.

“I am requesting that the General Assemblyamend this bill to explicitly state that nowoman in Virginia will have to undergo atransvaginal ultrasound involuntarily.”

The approved legislation would require awoman to undergo a non-invasive ultrasound,and she would have the option to choose ordecline a more invasive probe if deemed nec-essary by a doctor. Under the original bill, awoman would have been compelled to havethe more invasive probe.

The revised measure also would require thatwomen be given the opportunity to view thefetal ultrasound image prior to an abortion.

After the governor’s about-face, Democratson the House floor sought to build on themomentum by calling for the bill to be killedentirely.

“You’re mandating not only a completelyunnecessary procedure, but a useless one,”Democratic Delegate Jennifer McClellan said.

Other Democrats pressed for more time tostudy the new measure.

“We got this statement from the governor ahalf hour ago that he doesn’t like the old bill,and he’s instructing the General Assembly tocome up with something new,” DemocraticDelegate David Toscano said.

“We need to be spending a bit of time onthis bill,” he said. “We shouldn’t be playingdoctor on the House floor.”

While Virginia House Republicans pre-vailed and the amended bill passed, its futurein the Senate is in question.

Republican Senator Jill Holtzman Vogel,the bill’s sponsor, announced on Wednesdaythat she planned to strike the bill entirely whenit comes up for review in her chamber, accord-ing to the lawmaker’s assistant.

Six other states have passed laws requiringabortion providers to perform an ultrasound oneach woman seeking an abortion and give thewoman an opportunity to view the image,according to the Guttmacher Institute, whichstudies reproductive health issues.

While most of those states allow women todecline to view the image, Texas, Oklahomaand North Carolina require women to hear theprovider’s verbal description of the ultra-sound.
