Economy a priority for supervisor candidates
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When it comes to keeping San
Mateo County a vibrant and desir-
able place to live and bolstering its
budget, the six people hoping for a
seat on the Board of Supervisors are
each taking a cue from that now-
common political adage: “It’s the
economy, stupid.”

Child care programs at risk
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Karen Van Pelt found her-
self homeless last year, she found
comfort in a number of programs
that helped her get back on her feet.
A single mom, Van Pelt was
placed at the Haven Family House, a
transitional housing complex in
Menlo Park run by Shelter Network.
While the nonprofit offered housing
and other services to Van Pelt, an
onsite partnership with Peninsula
Family Service gave her daughter,
Aaliyah, a safe place to stay, learn
and grow.
At the time, Van Pelt didn’t have a

learning environment for her daugh-
ter as well as therapeutic support
was ideal. The services helped Van
Pelt get on her feet and support her
family.
No longer living on site, Van Pelt
takes advantage of the subsidized
child care for 2-year-old Aaliyah as
part of an alumni program, which
allows her to continue to make ends
meet.
Van Pelt is a parent of just one of
the about 300 young children in
low-income families served in
numerous child care centers in San

if proposed budget cuts by the state
are adopted. Gov. Jerry Brown pro-
posed a 35 percent statewide reduc-
tion in the funding of child develop-
ment and care programs. For these
subsidized programs, the loss of
about $770,000 annually would be
devastating.
Parents, who are struggling to get

Menlo Park and the railroad
T
he San Francisco and San Jose
Railroad took a long time getting
started. In the 1850s, the money flow-
ing into San Francisco was not steady and
there were two or three “starts” to form a
company and raise money to lay tracks from
San Francisco to San Jose.
In 1854, as an inducement to get the project
started, San Jose gave an 8-acre square for a
terminal station. This didn’t work. The state
refused to give money for the project so the
burden of raising the capital fell on San
Francisco, San Mateo County and San Jose.
In a May 21, 1861 election, San Francisco
voted for $300,000, Santa Clara County voted
$200,000 and San Mateo County voted for
$100,000. The work began and rights-of-way
were acquired as well as rolling stock and
rails. Chinese labor was hired. They were paid
a dollar a day plus board. It turned out to be
the wettest winter on record and progress was
slow. This was not the worst thing to happen,
however, because it gave the engineers who
had no experience with water problems to
work them out before the job was done. By
June, 300 labors were working out of five
camps along 35 miles of road bed.
In 1862, a wooden, one-track bridge was
erected over the San Francisquito Creek. This
bridge lasted until June 1896 when a second
bridge of iron was built. In 1863, the railroad
company designated the stop on the northern
side of the creek Menlo Park after they spot-
ted an arch with large letters that had been
erected across El Camino Real. Two Irishmen,
Dennis J. Oliver and D.C. McGlynn had
bought 1,700 acres of land in 1854 and erect-
ed the arch to identify their property. The
owners lost the ranch in the 1955 depression
but the arch persisted and became a landmark.
The halfway mark of the railroad was the
San Francisquito Creek where the nearest set-
tlement was Mayfield (later Palo Alto). Menlo
Park became an important working site for the
bridge built in 1862. A “way station” was
built on Louis Golder’s tavern property in
1863. It was little more than a shed but it last-
ed at this site until August 1867 when it was
loaded on a flat car and moved to Belmont
where it became its first depot. Louis Golder,
an 1852 pioneer from Germany also bought
up four lots that the SF & SJ RR needed for
their right-of-way. Golder and Benjamin G.
Lathrop, head of the Menlo Park Villa
Association, owned substantial land in the
area and pushed for a more substantial rail-
road station in hopes of presenting a more
favorable atmosphere for their development.
By June 1867, a new station was built. A new
twist in railroad ownership happened seven
months later when members of the “Big four”
purchased the bonds of the San Francisco and
San Jose Railroad and Lathrop was chosen to
become a director of the SF & SJ RR Co.

which featured a saloon, on the site. The road
to his hotel, Golder’s Lane, became an exten-

seeing the possibilities of more hotels near the
railroad station, Martin and Deidrick Kuck
built the Menlo Park Hotel (Kuck’s Hotel) on
Golder’s previous tavern site. This became the
nucleus of the area that was eventually named
Menlo Park.
The natural beauty of the area was enhanced

CARE
Continued from page 1
Wishard noted countywide pro-
grams have come together with the
goal of preparing children from
lower economic areas for school to
create greater
academic success later in life. All
these programs face cuts, creating
larger issues throughout the county,
she said.
At the Haven Child Development
Center, for example, 18 children
ages 18 months to 5 years old are
served at one time, said Site
Director Rose Juarez.
Due to the facility’s nature of
families coming and going, the
child care center sees about 50 to 55
children throughout any given year.
With these children also dealing
with the trauma of being homeless,
therapists are on hand to offer pre-
ventative services for the children.
Without this help, many of the
families served will struggle to not
only cover the cost of child care
services, but also attend work, said
Juarez.
“Without these services, parents
cannot achieve self sufficiency,” she
said.
Van Pelt, for example, estimates
the new fee would mean an addi-
tional $200 for her a month. She
admitted that may seem like a mini-
mal amount to many. But for her, it
creates a struggle.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
“I’m torn right now. It’s really
hard. I don’t know what I’m going
to do. That’s $200 more out of my
pocket,” she said.
Changing facilities could mean a
drop in services to her daughter, a
lack of trust with new people and
could affect her job. These conse-
quences worry Van Pelt.
Families eligible for these subsi-
dized programs are barely making
it, said Juarez.
“With any increase, they’re not
going to be able to do that,” she
said.

A musical Hawaiian love

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hawaiian music isn’t hitting the radio
waves here on the mainland, but Kawika
Alfiche is doing his best to ensure the culture
stays alive on the Peninsula.
Living on the “island” of South San
Francisco, 37-year-old Alfiche grew up travel-
ing from the Bay Area to Hawaii and back.
Keeping the Hawaiian traditions alive was a
priority over the years which has blossomed
into the opening of the Kaululehua Hawaiian
Cultural Center and releasing music. His sec-
ond album, Kale’a, was released this month
with his musical stories generating revenue
for the local education center.
A self-described airline baby, Alfiche grew
up as part of the large Bay Area hula commu-
nity.
Working in real estate to pay the bills,
Alfiche kept up with hula and his love of
Hawaiian traditions. After 17 years of per-
forming and acting as a kumu (teacher) of
hula, it was time to open a cultural center.
There were locations at which to teach, but
rent continued to raise or leases were lost.
One day, Alfiche saw a house with some land

and a large garage for sale in South San
Francisco. He sold his home in San Francisco
and purchased what is now the Kaululehua
Hawaiian Cultural Center where hula is
taught, music is made and traditions like mak-
ing leis are part of the courses offered.
Alfiche wanted a cultural center that offered
hands-on educational opportunities for stu-
dents. Dancing requires music and Alfiche
prefers live music to pressing play. It was only
logical, after years of growing up with the
Hawaiian culture and being a hula child, he
would attempt to master the Hawaiian lan-
guage to allow him to write music.
Traditional Hawaiian music differs from

what’s often on the Top 40. Alfiche compared
it to Shakespeare’s English compared to the
language spoken today. Mastering it took time,
Alfiche laughed while saying the difference
between his 2005 album and his current release
is like watching a student’s mastery grow.
Through his love of Hawaiian culture, he
met his partner of 15 years Kia’i.
From playful courtships to deep passion
and lasting affection, it’s love Alfiche discuss-
es in the songs throughout his new album.
The newly released album will get some
play on the East Coast over the next few
weeks as Alfiche and about 30 of his students
travel and perform. For those on the West
Coast, the music is available on iTunes, at
cdbaby.com or at the only Hawaiian store in
the Bay Area, The Aloha Warehouse in
Japantown.

Crews face mud,flash flood in storm cleanup

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Crews in
Central California cleaning up after
recent storms faced a daunting task
and even a flash flood when 2 feet of
water burst from a culvert Saturday,
sending workers scrambling for dry
ground.
A voluntary evacuation was
ordered as emergency workers
searched for any residents stranded
in Capitola, a small city in Santa
Cruz County. Heavy rain caused the
burst of water from a culvert in a
mobile home park to flood the
Capitola Village shopping area,
said Derek Johnson, a city
spokesman.
Several mobile homes suffered
significant damage and numerous
vehicles and at least two-dozen
businesses also have sustained some
water damage, Johnson said.
Officials were also monitoring
houses on a nearby cliff.
Vengeance
“The storm was heavier than what
we thought,” Johnson said. “This
one came with a vengeance.”
The area also was flooded
Thursday, when a failed drainage
pipe tore a roughly 15-feet by 100-
feet hole in the ground near homes
and sent a three-foot surge of water
into Capitola Village. Residents
were evacuated and businesses were
flooded.
No injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, crews were trying to
clear debris from a rock and mud
slide on a highway in the Big Sur
area along the coast. Tons of rocks
were expected to be removed from
the slide after heavy storms closed
a stretch of Highway 1 on
Thursday.
The highway’s north end was
already closed after a chunk of
roadway fell into the Pacific Ocean
last week.
“It’s treacherous conditions on

SHUTTLE
Continued from page 1
The Alliance’s most robust com-
muter shuttles serve the biotech indus-
try in South San Francisco and
Brisbane, Maley-Grubl said.
The Alliance has an annual budget of
about $3 million a year, half committed
toward keeping the shuttles running
and half for other commuter programs
such as car and vanpooling.
Commuters wanting to get out of
their cars, and the employers they work
for, have lots of incentives to take pub-
lic transit or to carpool but may not be
aware of them, Maley-Grubl said.
Employers in Foster City, for
instance, pool their money to share
about 25 percent of the cost to shuttle
employees from the Hillsdale Caltrain
Station to Gilead and other companies
in the city.
The city of San Mateo also partners
with the Alliance to keep the Hayward
Park shuttle running, despite its low
ridership.
Shuttles are the key east-west con-
nectors for commuters who take
Caltrain. Last year, shuttles carried
more than 416,000 commuters to and
from work.
The weekday average is 1,614 riders,
Maley-Grubl said.
Without the shuttles, commuters
would flood local freeways with more
traffic, she said. Plus, they are free to
ride, she said.
The Alliance is prepared to alter
shuttle schedules as needed, Maley-
Grubl said.
Already, many private companies on

cisco Caltrain station. The station is

the Peninsula operate their own shut-
tles. Genentech, for instance, shuttles
workers to South San Francisco from
all over the Bay Area.
The Alliance, a public agency, is
funded by the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority, Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, the
City/County Association of
Governments San Mateo County and
the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District.
Shuttle ridership is down at about the
same rate regular fixed transit is based
on the poor economy and high unem-
ployment rate, Maley-Grubl said.
The Alliance’s mission is to reduce
the number of single occupancy vehi-
cles traveling in, to and through San
Mateo County, reducing vehicle emis-
sions resulting in improved air quality.
Currently, the Alliance is offering
cash rewards up to $1,000 to employers
who participate in a new incentive pro-
gram.
It also serves as a broker between
cities and interested employers, provid-
ing everything from management to
marketing, to help create successful
LOCAL
shuttle programs.
Commuter shuttles serving two San
Mateo Caltrain stations and their adja-
cent business parks will run for at least
another year despite a lack of contribu-
tions from employers.
The shuttles, while free for riders,
cost between $6.09 and $10.36 per pas-
senger. Much of that is funded from
grants, but the city may end up paying
more as grant money expires.
Last year, the San Mateo Public
Works Commission decided to keep the
shuttles running although staff recom-
mended that the Campus Drive and
Norfolk shuttle routes be eliminated
due to lack of employer funding sup-
port, according to a staff report.
The cost to run the two shuttles from
the Hillsdale and Hayward Park
Caltrain stations is about $206,000 a
year, although the city pays only about
a quarter of the costs, with the Alliance
and its partners covering the rest.
Foster City has also opted to keep
funding the Connections shuttle
although that could change soon as the
city grapples with its own structural
deficit.
The Alliance links commuters with
others to carpool, offers $60 gas cards
and also sets up vanpools for com-
muters and employers. It provides
incentives for bicyclists, such as half-
cost parking, and provides daily rider
alerts on its website.
“It is about selling it to the public,”
Maley-Grubl said. “People need to
know they don’t need to drive to get to
work.”

Workshop offers
geeks industrial-
strength gizmos
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — In the tech-obsessed South of Market
neighborhood that digital sensations like Twitter and Zynga call
home, a newfangled workshop for would-be inventors blends a
startup sensibility with the area’s historic manufacturing roots to
give geeks a chance to get out from behind the keyboard.
Modeled after gyms, TechShop is attracting members who pay
as little as $100 a month to use industrial strength equipment to
invent whatever they can imagine.
“Everybody on the planet has ideas for things they want to
make,” says TechShop founder Jim Newton, who wants to bring
TechShops to cities across the country.
The 17,000-square-foot workshop is nestled in the middle of
what was once an industri-
al hub where ironworks
forged equipment for the
Gold Rush and later ships
during war time.
Housed on two floors of
a building that might oth-
erwise have become loft
condos, there are work-
shops for working with
wood, metal, plastics and
textiles, plus an electronics
lab and computer design

The biggest machine of
all may be a huge contraption that shoots a thin slurry of water
mixed with industrial gemstones at 1,800 mph to cut through
thick slabs of stainless steel. Upstairs, a 3-D printer molds
objects out of plastic straight from a digital file.
Perhaps the most popular tool at TechShop is the laser cutter,
a $30,000 metal box delicate enough to engrave paper but pow-
erful enough to cut thick leather. Chief executive Mark Hatch
says one of TechShop’s most popular events is an evening called
“Lasers and Beer.” “The sequence is very important,” Hatch
jokes. (First the lasers, which they use to etch designs into glass
mugs, then beer.)
One laser cutter fan is Marie LaCour, who started her kids’
party invitation business, Goobitty Goo, after getting laid off
from her graphic design job of 14 years.
“After losing my job, I thought I’d try to go ahead and do this
full time,” LaCour said. Trying to figure out how to get started
without buying the expensive tools herself, she came across
TechShop in a Google search, she said while running off a batch
of invitations on the laser cutter one recent afternoon. A year
later, she says, “this has become my office.”

GOP wins cuts without gov’t closure

By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Less than
three months into a tea party-fla-
vored Congress, federal budget cuts
amount to $10 billion. Government
shutdowns total zero.
That translates into twin early tri-
umphs for Republicans, who are
determined to reduce spending and
have so far defied attempts by con-
gressional Democrats to cast them as
an uncontrollable rabble that would
just as soon shutter the government
as downsize it.
“We’ve made it clear that a gov-
ernment shutdown is not an option
— period,” GOP Rep. Hal Rogers of
Kentucky, the House Appropriations
Committee chairman, said recently
as the House was voting to cut $6
billion of the $10 billion while keep-
Analysis
ing the government running through
April 8.
Not exactly.
The rhetorical threat of a shutdown
is a recurring one, put to differing
uses by various interests in the strug-
gle over the size and scope of the
government. As Congress returns
this week from a break, that threat
hangs over negotiations on legisla-
tion to enact tens of billions and keep
the government running through the
Sept. 30 end of the current budget
year.
“If the government were to shut
down, I don’t think it’s because we
asked for too much,” Rep. Scott
DesJarlais, R-Tenn., said recently,
neither advocating a shutdown nor
ruling one out.
Presidential hopeful Newt
Gingrich counseled fellow
Republicans on the subject over the
winter. “Becoming one more prom-
ise-breaking, Washington-dominat-
ed, sellout group is a much worse
fate — politically and ethically —
than having the government close for
a few days,” he wrote in The
Washington Post. As House speaker
in the mid-1990s, he led the party
into two shutdowns that
boomeranged politically, helping
President Bill Clinton win re-elec-
tion and damaging the GOP. Now
he’s a presidential hopeful and seeks
the support of tea party activists.
The current speaker, Rep. John
Boehner, R-Ohio, says he wants no
part of such talk. But Democrats
seize on shutdown-related comments
as they work to deflect attention from
their own inability to unify on spend-
ing cuts, an issue of immense impor-
tance to the voters at a time the
deficit is over $1.5 trillion and the
federal debt exceeds $14 trillion.
“It’s clear that there is no path to
compromise that goes through the
tea party,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., before Congress began its
break. “We urge Speaker Boehner to
push ahead without them. We are
ready to work with him if he is will-
ing to buck the extreme element of
his party.”
Schumer spoke after the most
recent temporary spending bill
passed the House, and to underscore
his point, he noted that 54
Republicans voted against the meas-
ure. Left unsaid was that 66 of the 87
first-term GOP lawmakers voted for
it, along with 85 Democrats, a strong
bipartisan showing.
Among Senate Democrats, liberals
generally want less in the way of cuts
than do the moderates, several of
whom face potentially difficult races
in 2012.
“There are way too many people in
denial around here about the nature
of the (deficit) problem and how seri-
ous it is,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill,
D-Mo., who will face the voters in a
state that Obama lost in 2008.
The difference in perspective is
explained in polling shown privately
to Democratic senators over the win-
ter. In a survey by GarinHartYang, a
Democratic firm, 63 percent of
Democrats polled said their No. 1
priority for improving the economy
was government spending to create
jobs and help the United States com-
pete globally.
By contrast, 28 percent preferred
reducing the deficit through spend-
ing cuts.

Gangs of armed young men

LATAKIA, Syria — Gangs of young men,
some armed with swords and hunting rifles,
roamed Sunday through the streets of a Syrian
seaside city, closing alleys with barricades

Libyan rebels take major oil centers

Japan; small tsunami alert
NEW YORK — A magnitude-6.5
earthquake shook eastern Japan off

to issue a tsunami alert.
There were no immediate reports
of damage or injuries, but the Japan

The tsunami alert was localized to
Japan. The U.S. Pacific Tsunami

The alert was prompted by a

State must get handle on health care obligation
— The Sacramento Bee
W
hile rising pension obliga-
tions for public employees
have caught the public’s
attention, health care obligations for
retirees represent another fast-growing
cost that neither the state nor local gov-
ernments have adequately prepared for.
Controller John Chiang recently
released a new actuarial report that
pegged the unfunded liability for state
retiree health costs over the next 30
years at nearly $60 billion.
Unlike pensions, the state has not set
aside money that it then invests to help
pay for retiree health care obligations.
So the government pays the full cost
every year on a pay-as-you-go basis,
$1.4 billion in the current fiscal year, up
about 18 percent from last year. And it’s
projected to jump another 12 percent
next year.
Retiree health care costs are rising by
double-digit percentages annually
Letters to the editor
Taking tsunami
awareness seriously
Editor,
Just 10 days after Japan’s devastating
9.0 earthquake and mega-tsunami, the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors proclaimed March 20-26 as
“Tsunami Awareness Week.”
Next Tuesday, the Supervisors have a
golden opportunity to put their tsunami
ceremonial declarations into practice
when they consider an Appeal of the
Big Wave project in Moss Beach.
Big Wave proposes a laudable project
— housing for 50 developmentally dis-
abled adults and 20 caregivers — in a
terrible location. Earthquakes on the
nearby active Seal Cove/San Gregorio
Fault can produce very violent shaking.
Big Wave’s housing would lie atop
sandy, saturated soils that are susceptible
to liquefaction, sand boils, differential
settlement, and fault rupture from earth-
quakes. Only 10-18 feet above sea level,
Big Wave would also be within the des-
ignated Tsunami Inundation Area.
Placing a vulnerable group of people
at risk is contrary to the County General
Plan and zoning. The county’s tsunami
regulations, adopted in 1974, prohibit
locating public buildings, schools, hos-
pitals, and buildings for people with dis-
abilities in a Tsunami Inundation Area.
Will the Board of Supervisors uphold
their long-standing laws protecting public
health and safety, or will these laws be
tossed aside, like flotsam in a tsunami?

because state workers are retiring earlier
and living longer, and the cost of health
care is rising steeply.
To reduce liability, Chiang has recom-
mended that the state begin prefunding
its health care in the same way it pre-
funds retirements. In that way, invest-
ment returns will help absorb some of
the cost.
Given the huge budget gap, the state
won’t be paying more from the depleted
general fund to prefund its health care
obligation any time soon. It has negoti-
ated new labor contracts in which work-
ers, California Highway Patrol most
notably so far, have agreed to contribute
more to fund their retiree health care
account.
As workers have been asked to con-
tribute more to fund their retirements
generally, they should be asked to pay
more to finance the state’s very generous
retiree health plans as well.
Public input needed on Cargill
Editor,
Redwood City Mayor Jeff Ira said on
March 22 that he is frustrated by
Redwood City residents voicing their
opposition to the proposed Cargill proj-
ect. He states that no one yet knows
what the proposal is and therefore com-
menting is premature. This confuses
me. In May, 2010, Cargill submitted an
application to develop 1,436 acres of
salt flats in Redwood City. The applica-
tion, that can be found at www.red-
woodcity.org/phed/planning/saltworks/,
specifically proposes to build 12,000
housing units and 1,000,000 square feet
of commercial and office space.
Hundreds of Redwood City residents
are voicing their opposition to these
specific plans. I am disheartened to hear
any elected official publicly say he is
frustrated when citizens express their
opinions on issues that will affect their
community.

OPINION
Over the long run, the state needs to
do more to reduce its retiree health care
liability. Preventive programs launched
by federal health care reform could
result in a healthier society, bringing
down some medical costs. But the state
may need to do more, including raising
the retirement age for new hires. The
later someone retires, the less that per-
son ultimately draws from the state for
retiree health.
Ultimately, the state needs to consider
whether the benefits it offers are sustain-
able, given uncertainties over future
health care costs. Currently, retiree
health care provided by the state is rich-
er than the health benefits available for
state workers still on the job.
In most cases, the state pays 100 per-
cent of a retiree’s health premium and
90 percent for a retiree’s eligible
dependent, compared with 80 to 85 per-
cent for current workers and their
dependents.
That needs to end. California can’t
afford it.

get stuck in our throat (Vietnam,
Afghanistan, Iraq). Iran might be more
like the latter group.
So if Cohen wants to attack Iran, I am
all for her on two conditions. First,
should the president actually follow the
Constitution and get a declaration of
war first, anyone in Congress who votes
for war, regardless of age and physical
condition, should go to war in a combat
unit. Second, Ms. Cohen herself should
do the same. Under those circum-
stances, I will happily pay the taxes for
the war.

Nuclear
fallout?
“O
f course, it is only proper that people, like
all living things, should strive to make a liv-
able place for themselves in the world. Who
can imagine it otherwise? But the state of soul in which we
undertake the project — THAT is what makes the differ-
ence.” — Theodore Roszak, “Where the Wasteland Ends.”
The following are two letters that appeared in the same
issue of another newspaper March 17. They each offer the
writer’s sentiments concerning nuclear power plants and
their threat to our safety. Upon reading them, I found it
very interesting to note the wide discrepancy in outlook
between the two authors. In their way, they represent the
difference between our present political mentalities.
The first letter, from a woman in Gilroy, reads as fol-
lows: “I am so relieved to know that the Diablo Canyon
Nuclear plant is being operated by (drum roll) PG&E.
They have such a great track record in San Bruno, so I’m
sure all of us in California should be assured that our safe-
ty is their highest consideration. If their records on Diablo
Canyon are as good as their records in San Bruno, we have
nothing to worry about. If you believe that, I have a bridge
to sell you ... .” This letter demonstrates the concern this
woman has about being able to trust the builders and oper-
ators of these facilities as based on past experience. She is
skeptical, if not cynical, about the attempts of the vested
interests to assure us that
“it can’t happen here.”
She is not ready to turn
our lives over to people
who have already demon-
strated a lack of prudence
and honesty in their deal-
ings with the public.
Contrast the second let-
ter from a man in Los
Altos. “Since the Three
Mile Island ‘disaster’ in
which no one was killed
or injured, more than one
million people have died
in automobile accidents in
the United States. We
continue to use automo-
biles because we find the benefits to outweigh the risks.
Why can’t we apply the same logic to nuclear energy? Is it
because the Sierra Club is in charge of our energy policies
or because, as a nation, we are simply too uninformed to
be able to deal with the concept of risk vs. reward?”
As you can see, this writer’s outlook is quite different. In
standing up for the corporate interests and government’s
justifications, he brings in statistics that are not really rela-
tive, apparently attempting to whitewash the whole prob-
lem. You get the feeling that he’s implying, “What’s the
matter with all you wimps and bleeding hearts? Some
slaughter here, some slaughter there, what’s the difference?
It’s the price we pay for progress. A real man should be
able to handle it!” I guess it didn’t occur to him that some-
one who is really serious about avoiding death in an auto
accident can choose not to occupy a motor vehicle. But we
have no control at all over what kind of or how much
havoc a damaged nuclear plant’s emissions may generate.
Of course, another problem is what radiation emitted
from nuclear accidents can do to the environment around
the world. It could cause damage that lasts for generations
(or even permanently) to humans, animals and to the envi-
ronment that no one can possibly predict. Wasn’t the BP
oil spill bad enough? The toxic emissions covered a much
smaller area than a nuclear plant meltdown could. And the
suffering and the economic impact were tremendous.
The question is: In the name of “progress,” do we oppor-
tunistically allow the destruction of millions of human
beings and much of the environment so we have all of the
energy we need to produce and operate more things that
are dangerous for us to use — some of which may hasten
our demise? Why do we think that just because something
is invented or developed that it must always become part
of our lives, no matter what its potential for destruction? Is
the drive for profits and wealth more intense than that for
peace of mind and health? Are we destined to ultimately
destroy ourselves with our inventions (the underlying
premise of letter #2) or is it possible that there are enough
thoughtful and prudent human beings (as indicated in letter
#1) to stem a possible headlong plunge into extinction?
In the ’50s, President Eisenhower warned this country to
“avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for
our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of
tomorrow.” We cannot, he said, “mortgage the material
assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of
their political and spiritual heritage.”

and management, was named one of the winners of the 31st

Stocks should climb
By Francesca Levy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The markets may be
rational after all.
The threat of severe nuclear contami-
nation from a breached Japanese nuclear
reactor still looms. The outcome of the
escalating war in Libya is uncertain. Yet
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index ended
the week up 2.7 percent. The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 3.1 percent. So
what happened to all that headline-driven
volatility from two weeks ago?
If you look at historical patterns, this
week’s rebound isn’t so surprising. The
numbers suggest stocks will likely keep
rising for the next few months.
Catastrophic events can move stock
prices dramatically: at one point during
the week after Japan’s devastating earth-
quake and tsunami, the Dow gave up all
its gains for the year. Within six trading
days it had returned to where it was
before the disaster.
That may seem quick, but it’s not.
Brian Gendreau, strategist for the
Financial Network, an advisory firm,
studied the effect on the Dow of six
major disasters. In all but one case the
index declined at first, but returned to its
pre-disaster level in an average of fewer
than four days. In the fifth case, last
year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it
didn’t decline at all.
The Dow fell as much as 4.6 percent
after each of the five other calamities
Gendreau looked at: the 1979 nuclear
accident at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile
Island; the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear acci-
dent; the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that
struck Kobe, Japan, in 1995; the 2004
Indian Ocean Tsunami; and Hurricane
Katrina in 2005. The longest it took the
Dow to recover was 15 days, after the
Kobe earthquake. In the case of
Chernobyl, the Dow recovered in a day.
In that context, last week’s stock recov-
ery took slightly longer than average.
There’s another clue that the rebound
is for real, in spite of the recent dips and
leaps in the market. It can be found in the
50-day moving average of the S&P 500,
which measures the average value of the
index over the most recent 50 days.
Comparing an index level to its mov-
ing average shows what general direction
the market is taking, without the interfer-
ence of short-term spikes and plunges.
Analysts fretted when the S&P 500 fell
below its 50-day moving average on
March 10. On Thursday, it climbed back
above the average.
But the moving average can also signal
longer-term trends. Before March 10, the
S&P 500 had stayed above its 50-day
moving average for more than 100 days.
That has only happened five other times
since 1980, says Ryan Detrick, strategist
for Schaeffer’s Investment Research.
After each of those blocks ended, the
index rose by an average of 6 percent in
the following three months. Four out of
those five times, it rose an average of 3.3
percent after just a month.
Then there’s the macroeconomic view.
Barry Knapp, chief economist for
Barclay’s Capital, says stocks are probably
safe from a steep drop for the next six
months. He expects the economy to follow
the patterns of the last three recessions.
In the last three economic downturns,
the Federal Reserve started to unwind the
interventions it had made to keep mar-
kets afloat well after the economic pic-
ture started to improve. Knapp calls the
six-month periods leading up to each of
those turning points in Fed policy a
“sweet spot,” and says the economy is in
one now.

Medicare rise could mean no Social Security COLA

By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Millions of retired
and disabled people in the United States
had better brace for another year with no
increase in Social Security payments.
The government is projecting a slight
cost-of-living adjustment for Social
Security benefits next year, the first
increase since 2009. But for most benefi-
ciaries, rising Medicare premiums threat-
en to wipe out any increase in payments,
leaving them without a raise for a third
straight year.
About 45 million people — one in
seven in the country — receive both
Medicare and Social Security. By law,
beneficiaries have their Medicare Part B
premiums, which cover doctor visits,
deducted from their Social Security pay-
ments each month.
When Medicare premiums rise more
than Social Security payments, millions
of people living on fixed incomes don’t
get raises. On the other hand, most don’t
get pay cuts, either, because a hold-harm-
less provision prevents higher Part B pre-
miums from reducing Social Security
payments for most people.
David Certner of AARP estimates that
as many as three-fourths of beneficiaries
will have their entire Social Security
increase swallowed by rising Medicare
premiums next year.
It’s a tough development for retirees who
lost much of their savings when the stock
market collapsed, who lost value in their
homes when the housing market crashed
and who can’t find work because the job
market is weak or they are in poor health.
“You just don’t have the words to say
how much this impacts a person,” said
Joyce Trebilcock, a retired legal secre-
tary from Belle, Mo., a small town about
100 miles west of St. Louis.
Like most U.S. retirees, Trebilcock,
65, said Social Security is her primary
source of income. She said a back injury
about 15 years ago left her unable to
work, so she applied for disability bene-
fits. Now, she lives on a $1,262 Social
Security payment each month, with more
than $500 going to pay the mortgage.
“I’ve cut back on about everything I
can, and I take the rest out of my sav-
ings,” Trebilcock said. “Thank God I’ve
got that. That’s going to run out before
long, at the rate I’m going. ... I have no
idea what I’m going to do then.”

Business briefs
Wells Fargo stops enrollment in debit rewards
Another bank is ending its debit rewards program. Wells
Fargo says it will stop enrolling new customers in its debit card
rewards program as of April 15. The San Francisco-based bank
says customers who are already enrolled in the program will
continue to earn rewards for now.
Wells Fargo says the change is the result of a pending new reg-
ulation that is expected to dramatically limit the fees banks can
collect from merchants whenever customers swipe their cards.
The cap on fees was mandated last year under the financial over-
haul known as the Dodd-Frank Act. The current proposal would
cap fees at 12 cents per transaction, versus the current 1 percent
to 2 percent of the transaction amount. The banking industry
says the change could slash its debit swipe fee revenue by as
much as 90 percent. A final rule is expected from the Federal
Reserve by April 21, unless Congress delays the deadline.

As Japan shutdowns drag on, auto crisis worsens

TOKYO — The auto industry disruptions triggered by
Japan’s earthquake and tsunami are about to get worse.
In the weeks ahead, car buyers will have difficulty finding the
model they want in certain colors, thousands of auto plant
workers will likely be told to stay home, and companies such
as Toyota, Honda and others will lose billions of dollars in rev-
enue. More than two weeks since the natural disaster, invento-
ries of crucial car supplies — from computer chips to paint pig-
ments — are dwindling fast as Japanese factories that make
them struggle to restart.
Because parts and supplies are shipped by slow-moving
boats, the real drop-off has yet to be felt by factories in the
U.S., Europe and Asia. That will come by the middle of April.
“This is the biggest impact ever in the history of the automo-
bile industry,” says Koji Endo, managing director at Advanced
Research Japan in Tokyo.
Much of Japan’s auto industry — the second largest supplier
of cars in the world — remains idle. Few plants were seriously
damaged by the quake, but with supplies of water and electric-
ity fleeting, no one can say when factories will crank up. Some
auto analysts say it could be as late as this summer.

Cal sweeps WSU to open Pac-10 play
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
BERKELEY – Cal wasn’t just
down to its last strike, yesterday.
Two-hitter Marcus Semien was in an
0-2 hole with no runners on, and his
Golden Bears – who had produced
only one clean hit to the outfield in
the game to that point -- trailing 3-1
to Washington State. That’s when
Semien went into grind mode.
When it was all said and done, No.
16-ranked Cal came from behind in
11 innings to down Washington
State 4-3. In doing so, Cal swept the
three game series to open Pac-10
play. And not only did Semien battle
back from an 0-2 hole to work the
count full before stroking a single to
left to spark a two-run, game-tying
rally in the ninth. The junior also
came up with the game-winning hit
in the 11th to cap a thrilling come-
back.
“I just wanted to grind out an at
bat,” Semien said of the pivotal
ninth-inning. “That’s what coach
keeps saying: ‘We need base runners
and we’re down two runs with two
outs. We need to string together
some hits.’ And that’s exactly what
we did.”
The sound of Semien’s loud two-
out single in the ninth was music to
Tony Renda’s ears, as the former
Serra standout was busy chalking up
in the on-deck circle.
“I’m just happy that thing fell,”
Renda said. “I’m standing in the on-
deck circle just praying for an at
bat.”
Renda’s prayer was answered, and
he reciprocated by promptly sin-
gling to left. Semien and Renda then
executed a crucial double steal on a
2-2 pitch in the dirt to cleanup hitter
Chadd Krist. On the following pitch,
Krist smashed a single back up the
middle to plate them both and tie the
game 3-3.
In the 11th, Cal’s Vince Bruno
reached first base on a dropped
infield popup. Semien followed with
a rocket into the right-field corner,
scoring Bruno all the way from first.
And even though he was anticipat-
ing a shot to drive home the walk-off
run himself, Renda didn’t mind the
game ending with him standing in
the on-deck circle this time around.
“Even when [Semien] hit that ball
in the 11th inning, I’m standing on
deck just saying: ‘Just get a hit. Just
get a hit,’” Renda said. “Because I
want the opportunity. I think we’ve
got a lot of guys in our lineup like
that. That’s why Chadd was able to
come through (in the ninth inning).
We’ve got a lot of guys with a lot of
confidence, and we’ll keep it
rolling.”
The Golden Bears (16-5, 3-0) cer-
tainly are rolling, downing
Washington State (9-10, 0-3) in the
previous two games with consecu-
tive shutouts — 7-0 on Friday and 3-
0 on Saturday. They have won six
straight, and 10 of their last 11. As a
team, Cal is third in the Pac-10 in
team hitting with a .298 average.
They are also second in the confer-
ence in pitching with a team ERA of
1.93.

shortstop, and has committed just
two errors thus far.
Living up to its defensive potential
was one of Cal’s main objectives
this season, after a 2010 campaign
— with Renda at third base, and
Semien playing his first full year as
a Division I shortstop — plagued by
infield errors.
“Last year he made quite a few
errors,” Renda said. “But I’ve never
seen someone work so hard in the
offseason, so hard in the fall and the
early spring. This guy took thou-
sands of groundballs…. We needed
to get better at defense. And he’s
been nails all year.”
Now, with Renda converting to
second base, the duo is more than
just a formidable double-play
combo. They are longtime friends,
having played on the same summer
travel team, despite Semien being
from El Cerrito, and Renda having
grown up in Hillsborough. And, the
kinship shows on the diamond, such
Monday • March 28, 2011 13
as the 10th inning yesterday when a
majestically bad hop bounded high
over the head of Renda on what
would have otherwise been a rou-
tine groundout. Usually on such a
play, the player who gets eaten up
investigates the playing surface to
smooth out any dents or divots.
Yesterday though, it was Semien
who wandered over to tend to the
second-base dirt, and offer encour-
agement.
“I just told him don’t worry about
it, you can’t do anything about that,”
Semien said. “We’ve had a lot of
funky hops in the last two years.”
Star (Makers) power
Semien and Renda, along with Cal
closer Matt Flemer — also a native
of El Cerrito — first played together
in Belmont, with the Star Maker
Titans in AAU travel ball. Renda
was actually the last of the three to
join the team, and the year before he
did, Semien and Flemer were part of
a National Championship squad in
the 14-year-old division.
Semien may just be a star in the
making. Although he is currently
hitting for a sluggish .228 batting
average, the draft-eligible junior is
pacing Cal with three home runs and
22 RBIs.
“He’s swinging the bat good,”
Renda said. “He’s just missed a cou-
ple pitches. He’s lined out a few
times…. They’re just not falling
right now all the time. And you
know what, when you’re a good
player things pan out. You can start a
little bit down, but Marcus is a good
player. He’s going to come right
back, and he’s going to be there for
us until the end of the year.”

Harvick wins at Fontana on final turn pass
By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FONTANA, Calif. — Kevin
Harvick isn’t one of those drivers
who jumps out front and stays there
all the way to the checkers.
He’s more of a lingerer and clos-
er, someone who’s able to stay close
to the front then make his move at
just the right time.
Harvick was at his pass-at-the-
end best on Sunday, overtaking
California king Jimmie Johnson on
the final turn at Auto Club
Speedway to win after trailing the
entire race.
“I wish we could just go out there
and wear ’em out one day, just not
have to worry about waiting until
the last lap,” Harvick said. “It does
kind of seem we wait until the last
moments to really get going. It’s
probably somewhat of a bad habit I
have, but I guess it worked out.”
Kyle Busch had the dominant car
most of the day and led a race-high
151 laps, including off a restart with
nine laps left.
Johnson, a five-time winner
Fontana, had the late burst, chasing
down Busch for the lead with two
laps left.
Harvick, as
he always
seems to, nailed
the finish.
He had a
rough start to
the season, fin-
ishing 42nd at
Daytona after a
Kevin Harvick blown engine
and hadn’t been
able to pull it together since despite
having fast cars. His best finish was
a fourth at Phoenix.
Harvick didn’t have a particularly
strong qualifying session at
Fontana, either, to start 24th and
wasn’t exactly ripping through the
field once the race started.
What he did do was gradually
work his way to the front, pulling up
behind Johnson after getting past
Busch.
Taking advantage of a small gap
to the outside, Harvick made his
move on Johnson going into Turn 3,
then completed it coming around
Turn 4. Ahead going down the last
straightway, he finished off his
becoming-a-trademark finish to take
the checkers for the 15th time in his
career.
“I really felt good when they had
SPORTS
that restart because I knew his car
was really fast on the long run,” said
Richard Childress, owner of
Harvick’s No. 29 car. “I knew if
they didn’t get too far out in front of
us, we’d have a shot. All we needed
was to get him side-by-side and
start racing. That gave Kevin a
chance to catch them and he made
the right move going into 3.”
Unlike Saturday’s Nationwide
race, which featured lead changes
seemingly every other lap, this one
had drivers camped out front for
long stretches before the final flour-
ish.
Part of it was the lack of cautions,
the opening 75 laps coming under
green to set a track record.
Overnight rain, which lingered as
mist until a couple hours before the
race, also played a role. Drivers who
were able to get the setup right were
able to get out front and stay there
while everyone else tinkered.
Mostly, that meant Busch.
He swept the Nationwide and
Sprint Cup races last week at
Bristol, then opened with a
Nationwide win at Auto Club, using
a late two-tire pit stop to beat Carl
Edwards and Harvick, who each
took four tires.
Busch had a rough start to his
Sprint Cup weekend, forced to a
backup car after sliding into the
wall on his first practice lap on
Friday, but still managed to qualify
eighth.
Busch took his first lead on Lap
22 and lost it a few times on green-
flag pit stops, but was back out front
within a few laps, pulling away on
each of the four restarts.
He just didn’t have enough left
after the leaders stayed out on the
last caution, spoiling his chance to
pull off the NASCAR weekend
sweep two weeks in a row.
“It’s real unfortunate and disap-
pointing and frustrating all in one
that we weren’t able to seal the deal
today,” Busch said. “You ask a little
bit more from your race car at the
last moments and it just doesn’t
have anything left to give. We were
just a sitting duck waiting for those
guys to go around us.”
Johnson looked as if he were
going to
notch his
fourth win
in six
starts at
California.
He started
THE DAILY JOURNAL
16th and worked his way toward the
front, tracking Busch down for the
late pass after losing a race off the
line to him on the final restart.
Johnson just couldn’t hold off
Harvick on those final two turns,
earning another solid finish at Auto
Club Speedway that he had hoped
would be one place higher.
“Looking back, maybe if I could
have got by Kyle a lot earlier,
maybe it could have made a differ-
ence,” Johnson said. “But he
(Harvick) was rolling off the top
really, really fast.”
Pole sitter Juan Pablo Montoya
never had much of a chance at win-
ning his first oval race. A two-time
winner on road courses, he led the
first six laps, but wasn’t a factor
after that, drifting deeper into the
field before making a late charge to
finish 10th.
Other than Busch, Joe Gibbs
Racing had a forgetful day thanks to
more engine problems.

Youth will be served at Final Four
By Jim O’Connell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — Jim Calhoun
started his coaching career at Old
Lyme High School in Connecticut
in 1965.
Forty-six years later he’ll lead the
University of Connecticut into the
Final Four for the fourth time, look-
ing for national championship No.
3.
John Calipari was 6 when
Calhoun first blew a whistle at prac-
tice. He’s been in coaching for 29
years and will lead Kentucky, the
third school he has taken to a Final
Four, in Houston.
The other two coaches are coach-
ing’s version of the “Kiddie Corps.”
Brad Stevens
Brad Stevens was born in 1976,
five years into Calhoun’s first
Division I head coaching job at
Northeastern. Stevens is making his
second consecutive Final Four
appearance with Butler, the surprise
team in the national semifinals until
Sunday, when Shaka Smart led
11th-seeded Virginia
Commonwealth over No. 1 Kansas
72-61 on Sunday. The Rams
become just the third No. 11 seed to
reach the Final Four, and their
coach also will be the youngest in
Houston this week.
Born a year after Stevens, their
combined ages don’t reach
Calhoun’s 68 years.
Both Stevens and Smart are in
their first head coaching position,
and both will be hot topics of
rumors about moving up to a more
influential — and richer — coach-
ing spot.
“Talking about me as a young
coach, I think we’re right around the
same age,” Smart said, referring to

Stevens. “He’s been a head coach a
couple of years longer than me, and
he has had a lot more success. They
made the championship game last
year and now back-to-back Final
Fours. Obviously, they’re doing a
lot of things right over there at
Butler.”
VCU’s first
Smart’s doing something right at
VCU, which is headed to the Final
Four for the first time. The Rams
have been on a run that dispatched
teams from five of the six BCS con-
ferences. Now they get Butler, a
team from a conference — the
Horizon League — which is a lot
closer to VCU’s Colonial Athletic
Association.
“So with us and Butler matching
up going to the semifinals it’s a
game for — I don’t want to say the
little guys — but the medium-sized
guys, and we’re excited about it,”
Smart said.
It might not be for the little guys,
but it is between two people who
would be sent to the “little coaches”
table at holiday time.
Stevens shocked everybody last
season with Butler’s run to a Final
Four being played just 6 miles from
its campus. He certainly didn’t let it
go to his head.
“I’m incredibly proud of these
guys. They carried their coach today
in a big way,” he said after Butler
beat Florida in the Southeast
Regional final. “I was saying I got
out-coached big time. But our assis-
tants did a great job and our players
did a great job, and just a special
group. We’re really lucky that
they’re Butler Bulldogs.”

tory over North Carolina on Sunday
about his place in college basketball
history.
“I’m young enough to not worry
about my legacy,” he said. “I’m just
trying to win another game.”
So, too, is Calhoun.
Inducted into the Naismith
Memorial Hall of Fame in 2005, he
has won 823 games, third among
active coaches behind Mike
Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim and
sixth on the all-time list. He has
won seven Big East titles, including
this season when the conference
was considered to be among the
best of all time.
This wasn’t the smoothest of sea-
sons for Calhoun.
He was suspended by the NCAA
for three games next season for
recruiting violations committed
under his watch, though the pro-
gram dodged a major sanction when
it was spared a postseason ban.
There were a lot of games when the

The end of the season saw the
Huskies tumble to ninth in the 16-
team conference.
But they went on a streak for the
ages, winning five games in as many
days to win the Big East tournament
and then won the four NCAA tour-
nament games to reach the Final
Four.
“I’ve been fortunate over 39 years
to have a lot of teams do a lot of dif-

‘Wimpy Kid’ rules weekend box office
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A wimpy kid has
delivered a knock-out punch to a band of
warrior vixens at the weekend box office.
The 20th Century Fox family sequel
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules”
debuted as the No. 1 movie with $24.4 mil-
lion, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The girl-power action fantasy “Sucker
Punch,” released by Warner Bros., opened at
No. 2 with $19 million.
The previous weekend’s top movie,
Relativity Media’s sci-fi thriller “Limitless,”
slipped to third with $15.2 million, raising
its total to $41.3 million.
“Rodrick Rules” did a bit more business
than its predecessor, “Diary of a Wimpy
Kid,” which opened a year ago with $22.1
million. The “Wimpy Kid” movies are based
on the children’s books by Jeff Kinney about
a timid youth trying to cope at school and
home.
The sequel casts wimpy kid Greg (Zachary
Gordon) into sibling rivalry and bonding
with one of his chief tormentors, older broth-
er Rodrick (Devon Bostick).
Though its main characters are boys, the
movie drew family crowds of both sexes,
said Fox distribution executive Bert
Livingston. The appeal of the story is in the
title, he said.
“‘Wimpy,’ because every kid knows that
feeling. That’s why ‘Spider-Man’ works.
Everybody thinks that they could be the out-
sider who could be Spider-Man,” Livingston
said. “I think anyone can associate with that,
and I think that’s why we got fathers, moth-
ers and young people, male and female.”

their votes on Brown’s plan.
The GOP wish-list covered a broad
range of proposals — including convert-
ing public employee pensions to 401(k)-
style plans, tying future state spending to
inflation, restoring funding for county
fairs and moving next year’s presidential
primary to March, rather than June as
Democrats would like.
In a statement posted on his website
over the weekend, Dutton said
Democrats’ rejection of GOP ideas
“proves that they were never serious
about a true bipartisan budget, but
instead are only interested in
Republicans giving in to their demands
for more taxes.”
He called the Republican requests
“small but important changes” and nec-
essary reforms to fix California’s long-
term budget problems.
RACE
Continued from page 1
Taking the economy to task
“Improving the economy, putting peo-
ple to work and sustaining the budget
are the keys for anybody who is
approaching the race,” Papan said.
Nagel believes the county has a lot to
offer businesses that in turn will bring
money and jobs — it just hasn’t been
marketed to its full potential. If elected,
she wants to create an economic devel-
opment task force to focus on recruiting
new businesses, particularly in markets
of green technology. The county is
essentially part of Silicon Valley in its
location and attitude, she said.
Why not reap the benefits of other
Silicon Valley cities?
“We’re missing out on attracting busi-
ness and jobs to the county,” Nagel said.
“We’re resting on laurels.”
Nagel would like to establish a part-
time economic specialist who will be
“worth their weigh in gold to county
business.”
Pine agrees the county needs to pro-
mote itself to attract businesses, particu-
larly those that are emerging like green
technology.
“I think some of the work SAMCEDA
is doing should be partnering with the
county,” he said, referring to the San
Mateo County Economic Development
Association.
He sees possibility in companies from
Asia in part because of the county’s
close proximity to San Francisco
International Airport.
“That should make us very attractive,”
Pine said.
He’d also like to aggressively promote
an energy upgrade program which offers
considerable rebates and tax benefits.
“Make homes more efficient is good
per se but it also generates a lot of
work,” he said.
The best way to protect jobs is keep-
ing the county a desirable place to live
and work, said Stogner.
“I’m always amazed when someone
says go create green jobs. It sounds great
just like kids. I love kids, too, and elders.
But I want San Mateo count to be a safe
place for everybody to live. That is my
goal,” he said.
The issue for Nikas is not that the
county isn’t making money but that it
isn’t being used to the best of its ability.
Businesses don’t need the county so it
would be best to create a good business
climate by tweaking zoning laws, estab-
lishing more commercial areas or erect-
ing more office buildings, he said.
More feasible, he said, is developing
tourism a bit rather than throwing
around economic buzz words to see
what sticks.
Holober, Papan and Pine didn’t note
any need for a specific task force but all
— like Nagel — think collaboration and
LOCAL/CALENDAR
Brown campaigned for governor last
year on a pledge that he would ask voters
to decide about any tax increases. He had
hoped to have a special election in June
to ask voters for a five-year renewal of
temporary tax increases enacted two
years ago. The Democratic governor
wants to solve the nearly $27 billion
deficit by balancing the tax extensions
with about $14 billion in spending cuts
and fund transfers, some of which he
signed into law last week.
The Republican counteroffer included
limiting the extensions of the increased
sales, personal income and vehicle taxes
to 18 months instead of five years, but
doing so would leave the state billions of
dollars short for implementing another of
Brown’s plans. The governor also wants
to shift a host of responsibilities from the
state to local governments, believing
cities and counties can handle them more
efficiently.
Republicans oppose much of that plan,
which includes transferring some
inmates to county jails and supervision.
They also oppose Brown’s plan to elimi-
partnerships both pri-
vate and public are
one answer. Papan
and Nagel both point
to examples in their
respective cities that
have merged fire
departments, estab-
lished parks and even
created a wastewater Richard Holober
treatment plant pow-
ered by kitchen
grease.
Nearly all like the
idea of shared servic-
es.
Another approach
is removing stum-
bling blocks to busi-
ness and develop-
ment. Terry Nagel
“We have to reach
out to business,
streamline require-
ments and processes
through the Planning
Commission,” Papan
said. “We can make
sure things can go
smoothly.”
She also suggests
working with city Demetrios Nikas
councils and business
leaders — and take cues from the
Silicon Valley Leadership Foundation —
to talk about providing a work-friendly
community, such as affordable housing
and accessible transportation.
“People are ready to leave and go out
of state because it’s not always the best
work environment and San Mateo
County is a small part of that,” she said.
But the county has reinvented itself
multiple times “from defense to biotech
and now we’re thriving on green tech-
nology,” she said.
Expanding that innovation will make
the county a leader, she said.
New money
Stogner calls the idea of revenue gen-
erating a “stupid conversation” because
the challenges are statewide rather than
specific to the county.
“How do you get people to come to a
state where education is 48th? How do
you get small business to come here and
pay the salaries?” Stogner asked.
Stogner said as a candidate he “has no
idea” and doesn’t “know that is for the
supervisors to deal with.” Instead, he
sees their job as keeping the county as
safe as possible which in turn will prove
a draw for businesses and individuals.
Nikas said the only way the county
can raise money is by raising taxes or
inventing new fees.
“It’s as if they have a think tank,” he
said. “What fee can we have now?”
Nagel is not shy about decrying more
local taxes, either countywide or
focused like prior proposals to tax park-
ing and rentals cars at San Francisco
International Airport. She’d prefer a dif-
ferent route, such as imposing a business
nate redevelopment agencies, which
have been criticized as grab-bags for
developers that rob schools, law enforce-
ment, fire departments and other com-
munity services of local tax revenue.
Many local government officials praise
redevelopment agencies as one of their
best tools for kick-starting construction
projects and rejuvenating rundown areas.
The GOP leaders also want to ask
Californians to vote on reducing public
pensions and setting a state spending
cap.
County clerks, who would be responsi-
ble for organizing a special election,
have warned that time is running out.
Most have said they would need 88 days
to comply with state laws, print and mail
out ballots, and find poll workers —
which would mean an end-of-June elec-
tion even if a deal were struck in the next
few days. Brown and the Democrats
originally had hoped for a June 7 elec-
tion.
Talks appeared to stalled after Dutton
and Sen. Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar,
released their list of demands late Friday.
license tax in the
unincorporated
areas.
She doesn’t say
never about a local
sales tax — few of
the candidates are
that resolute — but
certainly not now
when public opin-
Gina Papan
ion is likely not in
favor and the Board
of Supervisors last
fall already opted
against the idea.
Holober thinks a
tax surcharge on the
top 1 percent of
income earners
statewide would
benefit not only the
Dave Pine
state but San Mateo
County. Like Nagel,
he’d like to see new
revenue generated
in other ways rather
than more sales
taxes.
“My hunch is
“no” looking at it at
this time. The coun-
Michael Stogner ty needs to get its
house in order and
bring expenditures under control before
going to the voters,” Holober said.
Examples of non-taxing money gener-
ators, he said, include better using the
county’s existing resources such as the
San Mateo County Event Center and
possibly its parks.
A key point for him has been bill col-
lection at the San Mateo Medical
Center. If the county’s public hospital
met the industry average, there would be
approximately $7 million more annual-
ly, he said.
Those are funds not from the hands of
residents and taxpayers but insurance
companies who are skirting their legal
responsibilities to pay for patients’ care,
he said.
Papan also looks to innovation for new
revenue rather than taxes. Voters may be
game for taxes at some point, she said,
but there are concerns about asking —
and implementing — before other possi-
bilities are exhausted.
“Before we even get there, the county
has to save money,” she said.
Taxes might not be palatable now but
probably can’t be avoided in the future,
Pine said.
Having worked on multiple parcel tax
campaigns, Pine feels the county is com-
passionate. Voters could pass a sales tax
increase in 2012 if they understand the
need and that painful reductions might
not be enough.
“You can’t cut your way to prosperi-
ty,” he said.
