Tales of abuse Local victims of financial elder abuse have many stories. Here are a few snapshots: At least seven elders in Palo Alto, including a 100-year-old woman, were victimized this year by a group of wandering criminals who offered to trim scraggly trees, and then discreetly stole jewelry and other valuables after gaining access to the homes. That case is still under investigation. An 84-year-old Palo Alto woman paid Frank Martinez, one of her longtime tenants, $70,000 over two years and eventually named him and his two sons as beneficiaries in her trust. Police believe Martinez was unduly influencing the woman. When interrogated, he admitted to often yelling at her and once even striking the victim. The woman was placed in a residential care facility by the county No cooking. No cleaning. No yard work. public guardian’s office. Martinez was prosecuted, ultimately receiving one year in county jail. No dishes. No grocery shopping. Mary Lineham, a housekeeper who worked at Webster House, was arrested in January after a hidden video camera caught her stealing No home maintenance. No worries. money from a resident. She was eventually sentenced to four months in county jail and ordered to return the $500 and other valuables she had taken from three occupants. Two men offered to work on a Los Altos woman’s in 2001. To get into her good graces, the men chatted her up; one even told her about his newborn baby. She paid them $4,100 to install a garage door A NEW YEAR. opener and do roof work. The new garage door opener was faulty, and no work was done on the roof. ■ A NEW WAY OF LIFE. — Bill D’Agostino

Against Cal State Bakersfield, the Stanford 200 medley relay team, consisting of Jayme Cramer, Ro- gan, Hongzhe Sun and Andy Grant, also swam to victory in 1:35.56.

The Sun Devils visit Thursday at 7 p.m. and the Wildcats come on Saturday at 2 p.m. Arizona (3-0, 11-3) represents Stanford’s biggest challenge in its quest for a fourth consecutive Pac-10 title. The Wildcats have an inside presence in 6-foot-5 sophomore center Shawntinice Polk, and quickness outside in junior guard Dee-Dee Wheeler. Those are two of the better play- ers in the conference and they helped beat the Cardinal by 15 points in Tucson last year. The Sun Devils lost by 17 at Stanford last year, but do return key players such as junior Betsy Boardman, who missed last year with a torn ACL in her right knee, and sophomore Jill Noe. Carrie Buckner, Amy Denson, Kylan Loney and Kristen Kovedy are also returning starters. The victory over Washington (1-3, 8-5) put Stanford in a good position. Not only did the Cardi- nal avenge last year’s 92-68 loss to the Huskies, they accom- plished it on the road in a tough environment. Washington may not have gaudy numbers at this point in the season, but the Huskies will be heard from before the Pac-10 season is over and getting a win in Seattle, where Stanford had lost three of the previous four visits, is a bonus. More importantly, while Pow- ell is again the focus of the of- fense, several other players made significant contributions. Pinewood grad Sebnem Kimya- cioglu scored 16 points on the heels of a 15-point effort against Washington State and it appears her shooting woes may have ended. “I did get off to a slow start,” said Kimyacioglu. “But I’ve Receive up to a $250 rebate from the City of Palo Alto utilities.
