Boy’s Life Depends on Right Donor

Marin parents need help finding bone marrow match for eight-year-old son

Enrico Console
By Neela Banerjee

Eight-year-old Enrico Console chased his squealing 6-year-old sister Nina around the couches in their living room in Terra Linda, Calif. He had a determined look on his face as he rushed through the kitchen, close on her heels.

“He always wants to play when he is home, even if he is exhausted,” his father Tony said, as he looked down the hall after his children. “He stores up all that energy when he is sitting in the hospital with an I.V. in his arm. Everything out here is an escape from in there.”

District 7 Recount On, Off, and On Again

Supervisor election recount scheduled to begin again

By Joseph Hong

The recount for the District 7 Board of Supervisors seat resumes today. The recount effort was halted Monday, Jan. 15, five days into the process, with one third of the votes counted at a cost of $12,000. At that point, results had shown little difference from the original vote count, which placed Tony Hall ahead of Mabel Teng by 39 votes.
