In their final tune-up before Wednesday’s league opener, the Carmel High girls scratched out a 41-37 victory last Thursday over Strathmore Union High at home. Although the Padres sank only 10 out of 40 baskets, the team controlled the boards by grabbing 44 misses, including 10 by Farrell, nine by Mackenzie Dooner and seven each for Anderson and Muegge. The Strathmore offense sputtered in the second half, no doubt stymied by Emma Fuzie’s four blocked shots. “She played great defense down the stretch,” coach Jeff Nakamura said. Sealing the win for the Padres were two shots from beyond the arch by Kaylee Vandenberg — the only two shots she took all night. “The two huge 3-pointers in the second half gave us the momentum,” Nakamura explained. Anderson drained three of nine 3-pointers to aid Carmel

The upside of a crisis

NOT LONG after President Barack Obama took office, his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, famously observed that it was important “never to let a serious crisis go to waste.” The crisis he referred to was the recession, which the Obama White House then used as justification for a colossal stimulus bill which devoted billions of taxpayer dollars to all sorts of Democratic Party pet projects that would never have been funded in the absence of an economic emergency. But while much of the public, the media and even quite a few members of the Republican Party initially accepted the rationale for stimulus spending, as the economic slowdown dragged into its third miserable year, they also became increasingly frustrated at the huge amounts of money wasted by all levels of government and began demanding more accountability and efficiency from their elected officials. So while at the outset the economic crisis was opportunistical- ly used to justify massive new government spending, its flipside also isn’t going to waste, as the public now demands spending cuts, reduced taxes and answers from anybody who seems to be wasting their money. It’s a phenomenon that’s happening in Washington, Sacramento, at city halls up and down the state, and even at Ryan Ranch, where the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District is facing a serious challenge from a top official with “Storms are great! You don’t need a permit to trim your trees!” the California Public Utilities Commission of one of its principal funding
