The council has tentativelycapped the expense at $2,500 and

household, limit the distribution tosome households or do nothing at

however, has come up with a newidea find a corporate sponsor topay for the bags so the city will nothave to.

Okamoto told the Daily Journalthat the plastic bag ban will end upcosting the average household any-where from $20 to $50 a year in

extra expenses as consumers willhave to pay 10 cents for paper bagsat retail establishments startingApril 22.

Like most moms, Joanie Hahnwould like to spend more time withher 2-year-old son Jared.

Hahn, a math teacher at theBayside STEM Academy in SanMateo, would also love a shortercommute. Those were two of herreal-life problems posed to a groupof middle school students takingpart in the Design Thinking Camp,

which took place at Bayside thismonth during a school break.

Four seventh- and eighth-gradeboys, using the team name Nintendo

Freaks, used their time at camp tocreate a solution for Hahn arocket-powered car that flies, is selfdriving, and includes space forHahn to work while providing safe-ty options like a panic button andhelmets.

On Friday, Hahn and her little onelooked at the final product Fridaywith many smiles and questions.The prototype had been changedover the week to include more safe-ty measures, a suggestion Hahn

made.I like it, Hahn said of the stu-

dent-created solution, adding whowouldnt want to fly to work?

The camp also offered some edu-cational benefits Hahn enjoyed see-ing. Middle schoolers spend theweek focused on hands-on projectsled by Stanford University students.Its part of a collaboration betweenBayside STEM and the HassoPlattner Institute of Design, knownas the d.school.

This is the way school shouldalways be, said Bayside PrincipalJeanne Elliott.

Pope makes Easterpleas for world peace

VATICAN CITY Pope Francismarked Christianitys most joyous daywith a passionate plea for world peace,celebrating his first Easter Sunday aspontiff in the enthusiastic company ofmore than 250,000 people who over-flowed from St. Peters Square.

With eloquent words in his Eastermessage, Francis lamented enduringconflicts in the Middle East, on theKorean peninsula and elsewhere andremembered the worlds neediest peo-ple. With physical gestures, he illustrat-ed the personal, down-to-earth caring hebrings as a pastor to this new papacy cradling a disabled child held out to himin the crowd and delightedly accepting asurprise gift thrust at him.

Francis shared in his flocks exuber-ance as they celebrated Christianityscore belief that Jesus Christ rose fromthe dead following crucifixion. AfterMass in flower-bedecked St. PetersSquare, he stepped aboard an open-topped white popemobile for a cheerfulspin through pathways in the joyouscrowd, kissing babies, smiling constant-ly and patting children on the head.

One admirer of both the pope and hisfavorite soccer team from his Argentinehomeland, Saints of San Lorenzo, insist-ed that Francis take a team jersey he waswaving at the pontiff take it, goahead, take it, the man seemed to be

telling the pope. Finally, a delightedFrancis obliged, briefly holding up theshirt, and the crowd roared in approval.He handed the shirt to an aide in thefront seat, and the popemobile continuedits whirl through the square.

In a poignant moment, Francis cradledand kissed a physically disabled boypassed to him from the crowd. The childworked hard to make one of his armshug the pope back, then succeeded,smiling in satisfaction as the pope

patiently waited for the boy to give hisgreeting.

Francis has repeatedly put concern forthe poor and suffering at the center of hismessages, and he pursued his promotionof the causes of peace and social justice

in the Easter speech he delivered fromthe central balcony of St. PetersBasilica, the same vantage point abovethe square where he was introduced tothe world as the first Latin Americanpope on March 13.

The Roman Catholic leader aimed hisEaster greetings at every house andevery family, especially where the suf-fering is greatest, in hospitals, in pris-ons. Francis prayed that Jesus wouldinspire people to change hatred intolove, vengeance into forgiveness, war

into peace.As popes before him have, he urged

Israelis and Palestinians to resume peacetalks and end a conflict that has lasted alltoo long. And, in reflecting on the two-year-old Syrian crisis, Francis asked,How much suffering must there still bebefore a political solution can be found?

The pope also expressed desire for aspirit of reconciliation on the Koreanpeninsula, where North Korea says it hasentered a state of war with SouthKorea. He also decried warfare and ter-rorism in Africa, as well as what hecalled the 21st centurys most extensiveform of slavery: human trafficking.

The first pontiff to come from theJesuits, an order with special concern for

the poor, and the first pope to name him-self after St. Francis, a medieval figurewho renounced wealth to preach to thedown-and-out, Francis lamented that theworld is still divided by greed lookingfor easy gain.

During early modern Europe whenthe code of chivalry began, knightsin shining armor felt one had to

defend his honor in the best way he knew with swords.

Unusually, his honor could be settled in aremote area, away from the sheriffs and in theearly morning in case the challenger hadsobered up and decided his honor didntrequire being killed. If the duel did go on, asecond would arrange for the type of swordhe would use (a rapier, the smallsword or theFrench foil). Of course, the weapon chosenwould be the one with which the challengerwas most proficient.

Over time, rules were set up that would

ensure the offender would have a chance todefend himself decently. The challenge couldeven be called off or the men could agree notto aim. If one member of the group was killed,it was not considered murder and sometimesthe victor of the duel became a hero. If thesefacts are to be believed by a researcher ofdueling, during the reign of Henry IV, morethan 4,000 French aristocrats were killed induels in an 18-year period. The 20 years ofLouis XIIIs reign saw some 8,000 pardonsfor murders associated with duels.

In the late 18th century, the duels were con-

ducted with dueling pistols.David C. Broderick, born in Washington,

D.C. in 1820, of Irish parents, favored thenorthern attitude of no slavery. After movingto New York, he became absorbed in politicsof the type dealt out by Tammany Hall politi-cians. He had great native ability and tremen-dous powers of leadership. He was veryexcitable and sometimes lacked good judg-

ment at times. He became a TammanyDemocrat and became adept at all of the tricksof corrupt politicians. After being defeated inthe race for a seat in Congress in 1846, he soldhis business and moved to California in 1848.It wasnt long before he was immersed in thelocal political scene. He was elected state sen-ator and served briefly as lieutenant governorof California.

The Democrats were divided into twogroups in California due to the advent of theCivil War. Those favoring slavery were calledLecompton Democrats and they could

become very angry and aggressive when thetopic of slavery came up. Broderick, while atthe Capitol, began to speak out about slaveryand upset and antagonized many of theCongress.

Judge David S. Terry was a pro-slaverySouthern from Tennessee and became a bitterenemy of Broderick after his speeches onslavery. He began to attack Broderick in his

speeches and in the newspaper. Broderick wasinfuriated and a battle of words went on untilafter the election of 1859 when Terry chal-lenged Broderick to a duel. Broderick wasbacked into the corner and had to do it.

Monday, Sept. 12, 1859 was the day of theduel that was to be held near the border of SanFrancisco and San Mateo County. WhenMonday arrived, the duel that was illegal inthese counties was stopped by the sheriff whoarrested the two participants. The arrest wasnixed by a local judge who said there was nomisdemeanor committed and they were

released. The fieldof honor was ano u t - o f - t h e - w a yplace who few knewof and many of the20 buggies and 67spectators thatarrived on Tuesday

were late due to thefog and bad roads.What followed

was short of a farce.The pistols werechosen by Terry andthey were consid-ered to be hair trig-gers. Broderick wasnot familiar with

pistols and discounted this information as hedid not know what it meant. Pistols were nowready and held hanging beside the legs of themen. The two men faced each other and thesecond asked them if they were ready. Yescame the reply. Fire, one, two! pronouncedthe second. Immediately, Broderick beganlifting his pistol and it fired before he lifted itone foot, ready to fire. Immediately Terry lift-

ed his pistol, aimed and fired. The shot hitBroderick and he grabbed his side of hischest, reeled and fell down.

Broderick died three days later. At thefuneral in Portsmouth Square, 30,000 peopleattended.

Judge Terry was tried in Marin County formanslaughter but the charges were dismissed.
