ELECTION ’05 Major issue emerges: the budget City Council race officially begins this week by Bill D’Agostino ity leaders should stop “poor- mouthing,” and be more inno- C vative, Sanford Forte argued. Palo Alto is figuratively fraying around the edges, according to Lar- ry Klein. City Hall will have a hard time paying for cherished services in coming years, Harold “Skip” Just- man predicted. The race for five seats on the Palo Alto City Council officially kicked off on Monday (see sidebar, page 7), and one of the race’s defining issues was immediately clear: the city’s recently approved $120.7 mil- lion general fund budget. Many of the challengers inter- viewed this week — like Forte, Klein and Justman — said a chief Norbert von der GroebenNorbert reason for their candidacy is to help the city better balance its spending plan. They argued the current nine council members had not reduced costs enough during recent years’ tough economic times. Last month, the council cut $5.2 million from the 2005-2006 budget, James Kim, owner of the Cookbook restaurant in Town & Country Shopping Center for almost 20 years, is being forced out of the center. bringing long-term expenditures into line with stagnant projected revenues.

Spock, it was mom or grandma. Because so many adults now set- tle in areas according to where their jobs are located, not to mention the housing affordability, it’s rare that elderly parents live near their adult children when they start families. This isolation is one reason why today’s parents are doing their own research, Goor said. “All of a sudden new parents don’t have grandma around to say, ‘Oh, it’s OK if you don’t do it that way,’” she said. “That whole link is being lost now because people are moving away.” Blossom, in fact, has seen just how eager parents are for support and basic instruction — the center’s enrollment grew by 20 percent last year. Many parents on the Peninsula also bring the knowledge they’ve gathered as executives into the nurs- ery. For example, Woodford used to research environmental issues for a neighbor. Learning about traffic and industrial pollution has affected her child-rearing decisions. She has made an effort to teach Lucas to ride his bike and walk places rather than drive. “I like to know everything that’s available and choose what fits the best for our lifestyle and what we feel is the best for our family,” said Genni Lawrence, left, coaxes a reaction from 15-week-old Alexander Nai while talking with Nai’s mother Jackie Hoppa during the Blossom Birth Woodford, who was a high-tech an- Services parent/baby gathering. alyst before becoming pregnant.

Then he decided one more change was in order - he unretired once again and began throwing the hammer as a Masters athlete. Burke’s first competition in 21 years was in June at the low-key Cardinal Qualifier at Stanford. There, he threw 175 feet, 9 inches and broke the world and American records in the 65-69 age division. His record throw is pending ratifi- cation. Coincidently, Burke’s personal record of 243-11 was thrown at Stanford on April 28, 1984. That remains as the American record for the 40-44 age bracket.
