Mediation to be one-on-one affair

Belmont,San Carlos to take stab at saving fire department
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Belmont is giving mediation a
chance.
Last night, the council voted to
have Councilwoman Christine
Wozniak sit down one-on-one with
San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad to
take one last stab at saving the
Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department, which is set to dissolve
in October over a funding dispute
between the two cities.
The Belmont City Council, acting
as the Belmont Fire Protection
District, has already moved to re-
establish its own stand-alone fire
department but will pursue media-
tion with San Carlos in a last-ditch
effort to save both cities at least $1
million a year over other options.
Wozniak and Ahmad will likely
meet by the end of the month as San
Carlos is weighing proposals to pro-
vide fire service from a private firm
and Redwood City as early as next
week.
The council voted 3-2 to have
Wozniak represent the city in medi-
ation, with Mayor Coralin
Feierbach and Dave Warden oppos-
ing the concept outright.
The private fire provider,
Wackenhut Services out of Florida,
has offered San Carlos, however, a
proposal that is far less than the city

deadline, said San Carlos
Councilman Andy Klein.

State sets nation’s highest renewable power goals
By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILPITAS — Gov. Jerry Brown
on Tuesday signed legislation
requiring California utilities to get
one-third of their power from
renewable sources, giving the state
the most aggressive alternative ener-
gy mandate in the U.S.
California utilities and other elec-
tricity providers have until the end
of 2020 to draw 33 percent of their
power from solar panels, windmills
and other renewable sources.
“There are people who think we
can drill our way to happiness and
prosperity,” the Democratic gover-
nor told hundreds of workers and
other supporters at a solar panel
manufacturing plant near San Jose.
“Instead of just taking oil from
thousands of miles away, we’re tak-
ing the sun and converting it.”
Previous California law required
utilities to get 20 percent of their
power from renewable sources.
Supporters of the higher standard
said it will reassure investors and
keep money flowing to develop
alternative energy sources. They say
that will lead to cleaner air and job
growth in the green energy sector.
“By the end of the decade, our
goal is to make solar cost-competi-
tive with other forms of energy, all
other forms of energy,” Energy
Secretary Steven Chu told the crowd

Hillsborough schools look at $1M budget hole
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Facing a $1 million budget deficit,
Hillsborough City Elementary School District
officials will begin discussing possible cuts
and revenue options tonight.
Just over $1 million has been cut from the
Hillsborough budget over the last three years,
said Superintendent Anthony Ranii. Facing a
$1.08 million deficit next year, the board will
vote on the first of four steps for creating a
balanced budget. Cutting $136,000, changes
that can be made immediately, will go before
the Board of Trustees tonight. Over the next
year, conversations will be held with the
Hillsborough community — residents, parents
and employees — to brainstorm ways to save
and raise more money, said Ranii.
“The impact of doing nothing far outweighs
the impact of doing something now,” said
board President Greg Dannis.
Dannis noted a concern for education fund-
ing statewide, which is poised to take a major
cut in the coming year. Gov. Jerry Brown pro-
posed keeping education funding at its current
level. However, the proposal was tied to
extending taxes — a move still in limbo. As a
Eerie similarities noted in New York,California cold cases
By Jason Dearen and Scott Sonner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN RAFAEL — A Nevada man’s arrest in
four cold-case deaths in California has author-
ities scrambling to determine whether he’s
connected to killings in other states, including
the notorious “Double Initial Murders” of
three girls in upstate New York in the early
1970s.
Joseph Naso of Reno, Nev., was being held
Tuesday on suspicion of murder in the deaths
of four women whose bodies were found
across Northern California from 1977 to 1994.
LOCAL/STATE
result, local school districts are left with mov-
ing budgetary targets.
Hillsborough is currently working with
about a $20 million budget, of which $3 mil-
lion is funded through the Hillsborough
Education Foundation. A call to the founda-
tion for a comment was not returned.
Ranii estimates the school district is looking
at a deficit of just over $1 million before mak-
ing Wednesday’s proposed cuts. That number
increases to $1.4 million should the state
make massive cuts to education.
The $136,000 proposal going before the
board tonight uses one-time federal funds to
maintain current jobs rather than hire back
instruction aides as originally planned. It also
calls for the reducing technology funding in
terms of both hardware and support, decreas-
ing the staff development budget and tem-
porarily ceasing the practice of setting
$50,000 aside annually for deferred mainte-
nance, said Ranii. Smaller things, like not
having district staff attend statewide meetings,
will also be on the chopping block.
If approved, the budget hole will be reduced
to just under $1 million, the district is then
relying on conversations with the community
to help generate solutions.
Like the “Double
Initial” case, all four
women had matching ini-
tials for their first and last
names. Another eerie
similarity: One of the
California victims and
one of the New York vic-
tims shared the same
Joseph Naso name — Carmen Colon.
Authorities also said
Naso, 77, once lived in the Rochester area and
traveled between there and the West in the
early 1970s.
First, the Hillsborough Education
Foundation will be tapped to see if increased
fundraising is possible. Second, teachers and
staff of the district will have conversations to
develop money-saving ideas. Contracts nego-
tiations with both unions were recently
opened. The district does not have a formal
proposal for creating the savings, said Ranii,
but wants to have a collaborative conversation
to generate ideas. Lastly, the larger district
community will talk about changes that can be
implemented in the 2012-13 school year to
save money.
The budget assumes property taxes will
increase 1.55 percent this year and 2 percent
in the following. Historically, Hillsborough
has seen a 7 percent annual growth. If the rate
is higher than the assumptions, Ranii added
that could make up a portion of the budget
hole.
The board meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 13
at the South School multipurpose room, 303
El Cerrito Ave.
Heather Murtagh can be reached by email:
heather@smdailyjournal.com or by phone: (650)

New York state police are looking into
whether there’s a connection between Naso
and the “Double Initial” case, in which three
girls were raped and strangled and their bod-
ies dumped in the Rochester, N.Y., area,
Trooper Mark O’Donnell said Tuesday.
But they have so far found no evidence link-
ing him to the case, and a DNA sample taken
from one of the New York victims did not
match Naso, O’Donnell said. There also are
differences in the facts of the cases, including
the victims’ ages; the California victims were
women, while the New York victims were a
10-year-old and two 11-year-olds.

Police pursue driver through
San Mateo, Burlingame
An erratic driver led police on a chase
through San Mateo and Burlingame Monday
morning, a police spokesman said.
Officers responded to a call reporting a sil-
ver SUV driving dangerously on northbound
El Camino Real in San Mateo at about 9
a.m., police Sgt. Ryan Monaghan said.
When patrol officers spotted the SUV, it
was speeding and weaving through north-
and southbound lanes and driving toward the
sidewalks, Monaghan said.
The driver of the vehicle, who was later
determined to be suffering a medical emer-
gency, did not yield to police and continued
traveling north into Burlingame.
The driver struck several trees along El
Camino Real before coming to a stop at
Lincoln Avenue, Monaghan said.
He was unconscious when he was pulled
from the vehicle, and he was taken to a hos-
pital, Monaghan said.
Police did not release information regard-
ing the driver’s condition but said he would
not face arrest in connection with the pursuit.
Emergency bridge repair needed
The footbridge crossing San Vincente
Creek in the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve near
Moss Beach required emergency replace-
ment because heavy winter rains caused the
creek bank to collapse, putting the bridge in
danger of falling into the water.
The county Public Works Department
replaced the previous temporary structure
with a 36-foot temporary bridge lifted to the
same location by crane. The emergency fix
cost $5,000 which will be funded by divert-
ing money from other Midcoast recreational
needs.
The county has been working for three

Officials hope a permit is issued soon so a
permanent bridge will be in place by the next
rainy season.
San Mateo police nab
two in alleged crime spree
A police saturation of North Central San
Mateo in response to ongoing vehicle burgla-
ries netted two arrests and a large cache of
stolen goods on Tuesday morning, the first
night of the effort, according to police.
At approximately 3:23 a.m., Officer Steve
Bennett spotted a suspicious vehicle in the
North Shoreview neighborhood on the other
side of the Monte Diablo Avenue pedestrian
overcrossing over Highway 101 directly
across from previous crimes. The two occu-
pants, Jose Luis Marquez, 30, out of Half
Moon Bay, and Sommer Star Gonsalves, 19,
out of Redwood City, were arrested for drug
violations and suspected stolen property was
found in their vehicle. A search of their
motel room turned up car stereos, audio
equipment, gaming equipment, tools and
other items, according to police.
Both suspects were booked into San Mateo
County Jail for drug charges, possession of
burglary tools and possession of stolen prop-
erty, according to police.
The investigation is ongoing and police are
trying to match the stolen property to the
original thefts. Police also recommend resi-
dents record serial numbers, makes and
model numbers of their property or create
new ID numbers and take photos.
If you have any information on this or
other crimes, police ask that you call 522-

Three schools get top honors
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Three San Mateo County schools were
among the 97 statewide public middle and
high schools selected as 2011 California
Distinguished Schools.
Yesterday, State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson announced the
winners of the California’s prestigious awards
program which included Crocker Middle
School in Hillsborough, La Entrada Middle
School in Menlo Park and Corte Madera
Elementary in Portola Valley.
“These schools are being recognized for
attaining high levels of performance and sus-
tained growth, and for making significant
progress in closing the academic achievement
gap,” Torlakson said in a prepared statement
“Becoming a Distinguished School is a direct
reflection of the dedication, hard work and
vision of each school’s education community.
They have succeeded despite a bleak econom-
ic environment and have endeavored to main-
tain their momentum and focus.”

THE DAILY JOURNAL
ignated a Distinguished School since the pro-
gram began in 1986.
Although participation is voluntary, the
award is highly sought after by schools in all
areas of the state. Elementary and secondary
schools are recognized during alternate years.
Schools earning the Distinguished School
title this year agree to share their signature
practices with other schools and serve as men-
tors to other educators who want to replicate
their work.
Schools were identified for eligibility on the
basis of their state and federal test scores.
Applicants were also identified by their suc-
cess in narrowing the achievement gap
between higher-performing and lower-per-
forming students. All applicants underwent a
stringent selection process conducted by the
California Department of Education with the
help of many educators from across the state.
Each applicant was required to describe two
signature practices that have led to an increase
in student achievement and a narrowing of the
achievement gap. Applicants were then select-
ed to receive a thorough site visit to validate
the signature practices.

of the speech but Obama is expect-
ed to call for a “balanced” approach
of shared burdens that takes on enti-

intended to serve as a counter to

Poll: Health care law support dips
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amid a
budget debate that will affect the
health care of virtually every family,
a new poll finds support for
President Barack Obama’s overhaul
at its lowest level since passage last
year.
Barack Obama delivers remarks during the launch of ‘Joining Forces,’ a
national initiative in support of service members and their families,in the
East Room at the White House in Washington,D.C.
Ryan’s plan would seek to cut more
than $5 trillion in spending over the
next decade, built around a drastic
reshaping of Medicare and other
federal safety-net entitlement pro-
grams, and would lower the tax rate
for the nation’s top payers.
“The point is that balance is
essential,” Obama spokesman Jay
But in a ringing defense of
Obama’s policies, Medicare chief
Donald Berwick pleaded Tuesday
for more time on the health care law,
and branded a leading Republican
plan “unfair and harmful” and “a
form of withholding care.”
The Associated Press-GfK poll
showed that support for Obama’s
expansion of health insurance cov-

able in the president’s view — and

and while providing substantial tax
cuts to the very well off.”

Most people won’t notice
these large budget cuts
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It’s touted as
the biggest one-time rollback of
domestic spending ever, but most
folks will be hard-pressed to notice.
After all, it’s just 1 percent of
what the government will lay out
this year.
The number of security officers
at airports won’t be reduced.
National park campgrounds won’t
close. There will still be enough
meat inspectors to prevent tempo-
rary plant closures. Disadvantaged
schools won’t see cuts in federal
aid. And stiff cuts to grants for
community action agencies serving
the poor were averted.
Basically, the things most people
expect from the government won’t
change very much if Congress
approves the cuts unveiled Tuesday,
the details from that late-night deal
that kept federal operations going.
For starters, the budget cuts come
after two years of generous increas-
es awarded to domestic accounts
when Democrats controlled both
Congress and the White House.
And they total only $38 billion out
of the $3.8 trillion the government
will spend on everything this year,
including Social Security and other
retirement programs.
If the government were a family
living on $60,000 a year, that’s
equal to a $600 cut.
Democrats had earlier warned the
original House measure — it would
have cut more than $60 billion —
would have had draconian effects
including widespread furloughs of
federal workers, temporary shutting
of meat processing plants, delays in
processing Social Security applica-
tions and a big cut in the maximum
Pell Grant for college education.
Most of the more stringent cuts
originally passed by the House
have been reversed, and the maxi-
mum Pell Grant still will be $5,550
for the next academic year.
Remaining are items like $14 bil-
lion in cuts to accounts previously
used for congressional earmarks, a
$2.9 billion cut to President Barack
Obama’s high-speed rail initiative
and $812 million from construction
of new courthouses and other feder-
al buildings.
But there will be no more Pell
Grants for summer school. Local
police chiefs will find it harder to
win federal grants for equipment
upgrades and emergency prepared-
ness training — they were cut by
$1.2 billion. Non-profit groups
looking to open new community
health centers will have $600 mil-
lion less to compete for. And it just
got more difficult for rural towns
seeking grants to build new drink-
ing water and wastewater treatment
plants. Grants for them were cut by
$1 billion.

New battles in Libya

AJDABIYA, Libya — Moammar

Gadhafi’s forces fired rockets along
the eastern front line and shelled the
besieged city of Misrata Tuesday as
France and Britain urged their
NATO allies, including the United
States, to intensify the campaign
against the Libyan regime.
But hopes for a rebel military vic-
tory have faded and diplomatic
efforts to find a solution were pick-
ing up momentum. On Wednesday,
diplomats will gather in the tiny
Gulf nation of Qatar for a meeting
of the Libya contact group, which
aims to coordinate an international
response to the conflict.
On Monday, African leaders tried
to broker a cease-fire but were
immediately shot down when the
opposition insisted that Gadhafi
give up power immediately.
For his part, Libyan government
spokesman Moussa Ibrahim insisted
that any talk of Gadhafi stepping
down, which has also been suggest-
ed by some European officials, was
“imperialist” thinking and he

The Libyan rebels have proven to

now rest firmly on international

CHARLESTON, S.C. — glowed, signifying a nation torn in
Booming cannons, plaintive period
music and hushed crowds ushered in
the 150th anniversary of America’s
bloodiest war on Tuesday, a com-
memoration that continues to under-
score a racial divide that had
plagued the nation since before the
Civil War.
The events marked the 150th
anniversary of the Confederate
bombardment of Union-held Fort
Sumter in Charleston Harbor, an
engagement that plunged the nation
into four years of war at a cost of
more than 600,000 lives.
Several hundred people gathered
on Charleston’s Battery in the pre-
dawn darkness, much as Charleston
residents gathered 150 years ago to
view the bombardment of April 12,
1861.
About 4 a.m., a single beam of

ing chairs, others standing.
Fifty years ago during the centen-
nial of the Civil War, there was a
celebratory mood. But on Tuesday,
the 150th anniversary events were
muted. Even the applause seemed
subdued.
At the White House, President
Barack Obama captured the somber
mood in a proclamation that the date
would be the first day of the Civil
War Sesquicentennial.
“On this milestone in American
history, we remember the great cost
of the unity and liberty we now
enjoy, causes for which so many
have laid down their lives,” the

House said.

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic
Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F or millions of people who suffer
from chronic lower back pain, Spinal
Decompression Therapy frequently
offers far more effective treatment than
less conservative therapies. Many patients
find that Spinal Decompression Therapy
provides both immediate and long-
term relief. It is a noninvasive therapy
that achieves results without surgery,
injections, or medications. It can provide
relief for herniated discs, degenerative
discs, sciatica, general lower back pain,
and even failed back surgery.
“I liked the idea that Spinal
Decompression Therapy wasn’t
invasive,” said Paul Pratt, a firefighter
for over 30 years. “I liked the idea that
there were no pharmaceuticals involved
and that there was no cutting involved.
I was very optimistic, and was thinking
that this might work for me.” Weeks into
his treatment, Pratt began to experience
a dramatic change for the better.
“It just got better and better,” he said.
“I think in my third week of therapy
I felt like something had moved. The
pain from the sciatica had started to go
away. I was getting sensation back.” By
the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was
completely free of pain. His life was
back to normal.
Understanding Back
and Leg Pain
Pain in the back and lower legs can
result when spinal bones rub, irritate,
pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This
can also impair the function of the
tissues, organs, and systems controlled
by these nerves. The lower back
comprises parts of three basic types.
Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential
part of the skeletal framework. Discs
are the cartilage that cushions or pads
and separates the space between the
vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves
that control muscles, organs, and other
essential body functions. Among these,
the sciatic nerves are the largest and
longest in the body. They exit the spinal
cord from the lower spinal column,
travel down each leg, and divide into

many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee,
calf, ankle, foot, and toes.
Spinal discs are sometimes compared
to jelly doughnuts. If too much
pressure is put on one, the “jelly” can
squirt out. In the human anatomy, this
condition is known as a herniated disc.
When compressed, the space between
vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to
touch nerves.
Patients get to lie back and relax
while spinal pressures reach
negative levels. Now the natural
repair mechanism in the body
has a chance to really do its work.
How Spinal Decompression
Therapy Works
As its name implies, Spinal
Decompression Therapy creates a
negative pressure on discs in specific
areas, so the cartilage or “jelly” can
realign and return to its proper place.
In other words, this vacuum effect
draws the herniated material back into
the disc, along with water and other
nutrients and thus aids healing within
the disc. While many people think that
any pulling of the spine is “traction,”
there is a substantial difference between
old fashioned traction and Spinal
Decompression Therapy.
“The big difference is that with traction,
as we have known it for years, it is just
a general load pulling the entire spine,”
said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President
National Spine Centers and a member
of the National Academy of Pain
Management. “Traditional, old-style
traction does not differentiate between
the different levels of the discs. Now, by
using motorized spinal decompression,
we are able to change the angle of the
pull and target specifically any disc that
is affected. By doing this, we get much
better results than you get with just
standard traction.”
The advanced technology of
Spinal Decompression systems allow
healthcare professionals to adjust the
amount of traction according to the
reaction of the patient’s body. When
old fashioned traction is used, the
patient’s body may sense tension as it
is being pulled and react by going into
spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal
Decompression systems counter this
spasm reaction by cycling through a
series of pulling and relaxing as the
treatment is being administered. This
makes the decompression treatment
much more effective and comfortable,
since the patient’s body is not fighting
against the pull of a machine.
A Comfortable Procedure
“Many patients are a little
apprehensive the first time they come
in and get on the machine,” Dr. Crespo
said. “However, once they get on it,
they all react the same way. There is
an immediate sense of relief once the
machine starts pulling. They look at you
and say ‘My pain’s gone.’ After that, it’s
just a matter of them getting comfortable
with it. After awhile, a majority will even
sleep through the procedure.” Here’s what
one patient says.
“After the treatment, I really miss
coming back and being treated,
because I felt like I was at a spa,” said
Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four
herniated discs. “The treatment was
very comfortable and very relaxing.
At the end of some of the treatments,
I felt like I had been through a good
workout. Like I had gone to the gym
and worked out.”
Enjoying an Active Life
Even after patients have been through
spine surgery, Spinal Decompression
Therapy may still offer relief. To her
friends, just seeing Angie Horton
waterskiing again is nothing short of
a medical miracle. That is because just
a few years ago she was recuperating
from her third spine surgery and living
in constant pain.
“I really felt that I had two options,
she said. “It was either a wheelchair
or death. I literally felt I was going
to end up being a crippled person. I
was headed in that direction. I’m very
glad I did not go under a fourth spinal
surgery.” While recovering from her
third surgery, Horton read an article
that introduced her to the science of
Spinal Decompression Therapy.
“I have always said that I don’t use the
word miracle,” she said. “I think someone
above gets that word. But I would
honestly say that this is as close to that
word as you’ll ever get.” Within hours of
her first treatment, Horton noted that she
started to feel relief. And by the end of
her sixth week of Spinal Decompression
Therapy, she was completely free of pain.
Now that she is able to play with her
grandchildren and live an active lifestyle,
she wonders why her surgeon and other
medical experts didn’t tell her about this
therapy sooner.
“I actually got to a point where I became
angry,” she said. “And I went through a
couple weeks of anger simply because I
felt that other people in the medical field
should have been obligated to give me
this information. I’m not against surgery.
I’m not against all the other things like
THE DAILY JOURNAL
epidurals, but I feel that they should not
be on the forefront. They should be on the
backburner. These spinal decompression
machines should be the first thing. Once
you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI,
and if you are a candidate, this should be
the very first thing to do.” Paul Pratt the
firefighter shares much the same feeling.
“In my mind, Spinal Decompression is
what you need to look at first,” he says.
“I’ve heard too many stories of surgeries
that didn’t work, and those people wish
they had never had it done. Because, in
some cases, they are worse off than they
were before. Spinal decompression has
got to be your first option.”
“I was not able to work at all for two
months,” he said. “There was nothing I
could do. I would go back to work on a
light duty position But even on light duty,
sitting in a chair doing menial work, after
about two days it would cripple me up
again to where I couldn’t even do that.”
Along with the physical pain, there was
emotional stress. He could no longer
enjoy time with his grandchildren and
felt all the hopes and dreams for his
retirement years were in jeopardy. By the
end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he
was completely pain free. And a year after
his therapy, he is still completely pain
free, again doing what he loves. Now he’s
the captain of his fire department and is
enthusiastically planning for retirement.
“It brought my life back,” he added, “all
the things I was doing before. Playing
with the grandchildren, playing with my
children. I got to do things with them.
Lifting them, rolling around with them,
playing with them. All those things came
back without limitations.

A lesson in sharing
E Editorial
conomic necessity is requiring
more cities across San Mateo
County to explore new avenues for
sharing services. San Mateo and Foster City
are actively working toward a joint fire
department. The cities of San Carlos and
Half Moon Bay have contracted out their
police department to the San Mateo County
Sheriff’s Office and the cities of Millbrae
and San Bruno are moving toward a four-
city fire department merger with the cities
of Hillsborough and Burlingame, which
currently operates under the Central County
Fire Department.
Aside from the anomaly of Belmont and
San Carlos deciding to evaporate their joint
fire department and stammering attempts to
mediate their differences, there is more
movement toward consolidation than ever
before.
Shared services and consolidation makes
sense. It means less management, less
duplications of services and less cost to the
taxpayer. With government dollars becom-
ing more scarce and uncertainty abounding
at the state level, any effort to save money
and jobs is not only warranted, it is neces-
sary.
Letters to the editor
Two challenges
Editor,
We are now entering a vote-by-mail special
election to fill the vacant seat on the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors. Ballots
have been mailed and must be returned by
May 3. Six candidates are on track to spend
over $1 million to entice voters to vote in this
election. This brings up two challenges.
Challenge one, to the voters. Do you know
where all this money is coming from, and
why?
Challenge two, to the candidates. Can you
spend this money in such a way that it will
create the excitement that will drive the vot-
ers to actually open the ballot envelope, vote
their choice, put the completed ballot in the
postage-paid return envelope, fill out the
information on the envelope and get it in the
mail by by April 26 or to a designated “drop-
off place” by May 3?
When it is all over, don’t blame the voters
for low turnout. Blame the candidates!

OPINION
A year ago, we called on school districts
to consider the same effort. And now they
are. As we reported Monday, local school
districts are in the beginning stages of get-
ting serious about the idea. D. Don Revelo,
Millbrae Elementary School District board
president, recently brought up the idea of
sharing services or consolidating with a
neighboring district like San Bruno,
Burlingame or South San Francisco.
Officials in other districts are open to the
idea and have begun talking of ways to
share. For educators who often teach the
value of sharing, such a move is not only a
good example for its students, it makes eco-
nomic sense.
There will always be challenges with
such an idea. School districts are often a
tangle of contracts with several layers of
employees with different tenures, needs,
philosophies and benefits. Often times, it is
not one size fits all, particularly when state
funding formulas are different and commu-
nities have varied needs.
However, exploring in earnest ways to
the folks on the left end of the spectrum were
calling for President Bush to be impeached.
While I wholeheartedly agree that the divi-
siveness in our political system is counter-
productive and makes us all look like petu-
lant children, neither party has shown the
restraint necessary to allow for objective,
respectful debate.
Many Republicans would rather decrease
spending than increase taxes. They know that
the top 1 percent of wage-earners already pay
37 percent of the federal incomes taxes, and
that the top 10 percent of wage-earners pay
68 percent of the federal taxes. Ninety-seven
percent of the federal taxes are paid by the
top 50 percent of wage-earners, while the
bottom 50 percent pay only 3 percent of the
taxes. I don’t believe that anyone is opposed
to lunch programs for needy students or sub-
sidies for families in temporary difficulties.
The real debate is how to pay for these
things: more taxes or reduced spending. This
is a legitimate topic for respectful political
debate.
It seems to me that you are guilty of the
very thing about which your column rants:
political bullying. I believe we would all be
better served if we recognized that we have
differing opinions and favor different solu-
tions to the problems at hand, and most
importantly if we debated our differences
respectfully and objectively as possible.

We are encouraged there is an openness to
the idea. Perhaps it might be worthwhile for
the San Mateo County Office of Education
to hold a summit for education leaders to
explore and deliberate ways for further
shared services and consolidation. Doing so
may show there are more similarities than
differences. Once the conversation begins,
who knows where it might lead? The first
step is always getting stakeholders to the
table.
If you include the county Office of
Education and the San Mateo County
Community College District, there are 25
school districts in the county. Many share
goals, demographics and geography and
there are likely redundancies in support
services. Whatever can be done to eliminate
such redundancies and keep teachers in the
classroom is worth deliberate exploration.
The argument could be made that district
officials have their hands full contending
with a dwindling pot of money for basics,

Stand up for Planned Parenthood
Editor,
San Mateo Pro Life and Father Lawrence
Goode of St. Francis of Assisi Church are
leading the charge against a Planned
Parenthood clinic in Redwood City. Their
followers are protesting abortions, carrying
signs that say “Defend Life.” Planned
Parenthood defends the lives of millions of
women — and men — who rely on its clinics
for essential health care.
Over 90 percent of Planned Parenthood
services focus on preventive, primary care
including lifesaving cancer screenings, test-
ing and treatment for HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases, contraception to prevent
unintended pregnancies. Education and pre-
vention are the best ways to forestall abor-
tions. Goode claims that Planned Parenthood
targets black and Hispanic communities. In
fact, it targets people of all races who need
medical care in a safe, trusting environment.
We’re supposed to have separation of church
and state in this country, though religious
extremists are doing their best to change that.
Let’s stand up for the fundamental right of
control of our own bodies and our own lives.
And let’s make sure Planned Parenthood is
available for all those men and women who
so desperately need it.

Libyan
regime
change
— London Evening Standard
T
he debate about whether defecting
members of the Gadhafi regime should
face prosecution for their crimes, or
whether they could be given a safe haven some-
where, risks confusing ends and means.
Our end is that there should be a different,
more democratic regime in Libya. How we get
to that point is less important than that the aim
should be achieved.
There is talk of Western special services
training Libyans to lead the push against
Moammar Gadhafi. His removal would trans-
form the situation but is easier said than done.
A more honorable and desirable outcome is that
the rebels should simply defeat the army loyal
to the government. That still seems far from
certain: despite some signs of training from
Western forces, the rebels remain a largely
chaotic force.
The third option, which is now realistic given
the defection of members of Gadhafi’s inner
circle, is to wait for the regime to implode from
within. If it does, there could be realistic peace
talks under the aegis of a third party. These
could lead to a peaceful transition to some sort
of democracy, possibly at the price of allowing
the Gadhafi family safe passage abroad.
This is not an ideal situation. No one can feel
happy with the prospect of individuals who
have perpetrated human rights abuses getting
away with their crimes. Britain has its own
grievances against the Libyan government and
it is desirable that regime members should be
brought to account for their sins.
But it would be counter-productive if the pur-
suit of that ideal became a bar to regime change
in Libya. ...
Our political leaders should be thinking hard
about what we can do to help achieve stability
as well as democracy in a post-Gadhafi Libya.
U.S.corporate
tax liability
— The Seattle Times
O
utrage and envy still ripple from a
report in The New York Times that
General Electric, the nation’s largest
corporation, paid no U.S. corporate taxes in
2010.
Zero. Zip. Nada. Indeed, the company, with
$14.2 billion in worldwide profits, claimed a
tax benefit of $3.2 billion from Uncle Sam.
GE did not break the law, but the bill it suc-
cessfully avoided was picked up by the rest of
us, or put on the national credit card.
The top U.S. corporate rate is 35 percent, but
virtually no one pays that. GE’s tax rate is
about a third of what other companies pay, and
that the company is vulnerable to pay any taxes
is hypothetical. GE would have to return profits
to these shores from places it set up to avoid
taxes.
Policymakers in Washington, D.C., need to
reassess rates to bring them into line with the
financial realities of the nation and basic equity.
GE has a team of 975 gilded tax-avoidance
professionals in a department working to ensure
that the rest of America picks up its tab. Oh,
and that default jobs-creation rationale? The
Times report also noted that since 2002, GE has
eliminated a fifth of its work force in the United
States.
U.S. corporate rates are chasing profits off-
shore, and the only jobs created are for tax
lawyers. Set and collect realistic rates.

Japan crisis shakes stocks
By Stan Choe and Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,453.10 NEW YORK — The Dow Jones indus-
trial average lost more than 100 points
Tuesday after Japan raised the severity of
its nuclear crisis and Alcoa Inc. reported
disappointing sales. A drop in oil prices
pulled down energy stocks.
Markets also fell in Asia and Europe
after Japan said the crisis at its crippled
nuclear plant was as serious as the 1986
Chernobyl accident, though much less
radiation has leaked.
The plant in northern Japan was dam-
aged in the March 11 earthquake and
tsunami disaster.
“It means slower growing coming out
of Japan in the short term, and that’s
going to weigh on global growth,” said
Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at
Avalon Partners Inc.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
117.53 points, or 0.9 percent, to close at
12,263.58. That’s the largest drop since
March 16, when the Dow lost 242 points
on fears of a nuclear meltdown in Japan.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
10.30, or 0.8 percent, to 1,314.16. The
Nasdaq composite index fell 26.72, or 1
percent, to 2,744.79.

Cisco killing the Flip Video
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cisco Systems Inc.,
one of the titans of the technology indus-
try, on Tuesday said it is killing the Flip
Video, the most popular video camera in
the U.S., just two years after it bought the
startup that created it.
It appears to be a case of a big compa-
ny proving a poor custodian of a small
one, even one that makes a hit product.
Cisco never meaningfully integrated the
Flip Video into its main business of mak-
ing computer networking gear.
Flip Video users are now lamenting the
demise of a camera that broke new
ground. It was inexpensive, pocketable
and very easy to use, from shooting to

to 3.49 percent from 3.58 percent late
Monday.
The Commerce Department said in its
monthly trade report that exports fell 1.4
percent in February, more than econo-
mists had expected and a worrisome sign
for U.S. economic growth. Exports had
climbed 2.6 percent in January to an all-
time high.
Alcoa dropped 6 percent to $16.70 after
the aluminum maker’s first-quarter rev-
enues fell short of expectations. Alcoa,
one of the 30 companies that make up the
Dow average, is the first large company
to report quarterly earnings.
Other big companies reporting results
this week include JPMorgan Chase &
Co., Google Inc. and Bank of America
Corp.
The energy industry lost the most of
the 10 that make up the S&P 500 index.
Oil prices slid 3 percent to settle at
$106.25 per barrel, the lowest price this

higher oil prices, surprised oil traders

manufacturers, but the Flip Video still
outsells them.
Nicole Bremer Nash, a freelance writer
in Louisville, Ky., calls the Flip Video
“the little camera that could.”
“I was hoping they’d continue the line
and expand the accessories for it instead
of getting rid of it altogether,” she said.
The Flip Video is named after an arm
that flips out of the camera body and lets
the user connect it directly to a computer.
The camera even contains video-editing
software that fires up on the computer.
“I just find it a really easy process to
use, and that’s why I really enjoy my Flip

Investors are warming up to IPOs again

Late rally lifts Scots M
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In 2010, the Carlmont softball team endured
a 15-12-1 record — the worst finish in school
history.
It was a short-lived slump for the Scots, who
are back on top of the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division standings this season and
are doing it the Scots’ way: playing sound,
fundamental softball. They may not have the
big boppers like they’ve had in the past, but
they make up for it with a ton a speed.
That speed was on display Tuesday as the
host Scots had to dig deep to fend off a game
Terra Nova squad, 4-1. Carlmont, which tied
the score at 1 in the bottom of the third inning,
all but put the game away with a three-run fifth
to stay unbeaten in division play this season.
“I thought if we could get the bunts down …
they’d have a hard time fielding and throwing
the ball,” said Carlmont coach Jim Liggett.
It took a while, but that is precisely how
Carlmont (6-0 Bay Division, 14-3 overall)
broke the game open in the fifth. A single from
freshman pitcher Danielle Giuliacci led off the
bottom of the fifth before Kelly Robinson and
sophomore Shawna McDonough each reached
base on bunts.
Robinson reached on a mental lapse by
Terra Nova (2-1, 7-5). Robinson appeared to
be putting down a sacrifice bunt, sending the
ball right to Tigers’ first baseman Brittney
Lewis. She fielded the ball and turned to throw
to first — but there was no one covering.
McDonough’s bunt then loaded the bases.
Gabriella Pons came to the plate and hit a
chopper to Lewis, who tagged her out, with
Giuliacci scoring on the play.
Then things got weird. Pons and Lewis col-
lided on the play and, when Lewis went to pull
the ball out to throw home, she lost the handle
and the ball rolled to backstop fence. An alert
Robinson, who went to third on the initial
play, saw the Tigers were not hustling to
recover the ball and broke for home, barely
beating Terra Nova catcher Janelle DeJong to
the plate for the second run of the inning.
Senior captain Megan Hansen rounded out
the scoring for the Scots with an RBI ground-
out, driving in McDonough.
“Coach Liggett has the ability to make chaos
happen,” said Terra Nova coach Donna Tolero.
That was more than enough support for
Giuliacci who, despite working in and out of
trouble, prevented the Tigers from scoring
more than the one run. She worked five
innings before giving way to Aurora Stottler,
who worked the final two innings for the save,
allowing just one hit.
“She’s tough,” Liggett said of Giuliacci.

Rangers’Hamilton breaks arm Baseball in Japan: A
By Noah Trister
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Texas slugger Josh Hamilton
is expected to miss six to eight weeks after
breaking his upper right arm on a headfirst
dive into home plate Tuesday, a daring dash
the AL MVP later called “stupid.”
Hamilton tried to score from third on a foul
popup near the Detroit dugout in the first
inning. Third baseman Brandon Inge and
catcher Victor Martinez both chased the ball,
leaving the plate unprotected.
Inge made the catch, then tossed the ball to
Martinez, who scampered back in time to tag
Hamilton.
“It was a stupid play,” Hamilton said. “The
whole time the ball was in the air, the coach
was yelling, ’Go, there’s no one at home,’ and
I was thinking, ’I don’t
want to do this, something
is going to happen.’
“But I listened to my
coach,” he said, referring
to third-base coach Dave
Anderson. “It was way too
aggressive. Maybe if they
had both been closer to
Josh Hamilton me, but they had a perfect
angle to cut me off, and
the only way to avoid a tag in that situation is
to go head first.”
Hamilton slid headfirst earlier in the inning
on an RBI triple. The Tigers wound up win-
ning 5-4.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels
defended Anderson’s decision to send
Hamilton.

Great golf
going global
asters champion Charl
Schwartzel first showed his
potential on a big stage last
year in the World Golf Championship at
Doral when he went toe-to-toe with Ernie
Els until losing ground at the end.
As the two South Africans shook hands
on the 18th green, Els took note of the
$850,000 that Schwartzel received as run-
ner-up and said to his protege,
“Congratulations. That’s your tour card for
the U.S.”
Schwartzel became a PGA Tour member
this year, as did U.S.
Open champion
Graeme McDowell
and British Open
champion Louis
Oosthuizen. For all
the talk about
Americans being with-
out a major for the
first time in 17 years,
their tour remains as
strong as ever.
DOUG With few exceptions
— including Martin
FERGUSON Kaymer and Lee
Westwood, the top
two players in the world ranking — the
U.S. tour continues to attract the best from
all over the world.
That much appears to be lost on the
commissioner of the Sunshine Tour in
South Africa.
“The internationals now hold the power
in golf,” Gareth Tindall said Tuesday in
announcing a new World Golf
Championship for South Africa. “For how
long, we don’t know.”
Part of Tindall was speaking from
national pride, and rightfully so.
South Africans historically have had to
travel the most and the greatest distance to
develop their games on a worldwide scale.
Yet they now have won two of the last
three majors, and they have five major
champions in the last nine years, a list that
includes Els, Retief Goosen and Trevor
Immelman.
All of them are PGA Tour members now,
but it’s important to remember where they
started. So when PGA Tour commissioner
Tim Finchem says it’s good for golf that
other tours are strong, that’s because it
makes his tour even stronger.
There is speculation that a new WGC for
South Africa was the product of a compro-
mise.
The global schedule in golf is getting so
crowded that the South African Open was
placed during the same week as the
Presidents Cup in Australia. This became a

Astros.

CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez hit his sec-
ond homer of the game with two outs in the
10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a
6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on
Tuesday night.
Ramirez also hit a three-run shot in the sec-

Chicago reliever Chris Sale (2-0) picked up
the win with two shutout innings.
Daric Barton had four hits and scored a run,

Rowand, filling in for injured center fielder

White Sox 6, A’s 5
plate appearances.
The A’s went ahead in the second inning
when Mark Ellis lined a double to the wall in
left-center, scoring Ryan Sweeney from first.
Oakland righty Trevor Cahill was making
his first start since agreeing to a new five-year
contract on Monday. If Cahill was still cele-
brating his new pact, the White Sox cut the
party short, putting him on the rocks early.
Cahill escaped the first inning without a run
scoring despite allowing a single, a walk and
throwing two wild pitches. He wasn’t as for-
tunate in the second.
Ramirez hammered his second homer of the
season on a hanging breaking pitch to put the
White Sox up 3-1. Chicago added another run
in the inning on Paul Konerko’s grounder, but
Cahill settled down after that, retiring six bat-
ters in a row.
He ran into more trouble in the fifth. Dunn
Giants 5, Dodgers 4
Los Angeles.
On a raw, windy night that began with strong
early showings by Giants ace Tim Lincecum
and Dodgers righty Chad Billingsley, San
Francisco generated just enough offense
against Los Angeles’ bullpen. The defending
World Series champions beat the Dodgers for
only the second time in five tries so far this
year.
The highlight for the hard-throwing
Lincecum in his home debut came on defense.
He stopped Andre Ethier’s hard grounder to
start the sixth with a fancy play. The ball came
off his glove and landed between the mound
and second base. The two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner chased it down with a nifty slid-
hit a leadoff single before a two-out error by
shortstop Andy LaRoche put two runners on
with two outs.
Cahill’s pitch count was up to 97 and the
lefty-hitting Pierzynski was coming up, so
Oakland manger Bob Geren summoned lefty
Craig Breslow from the bullpen. Breslow got
Pierzynski on a flyout to left to end the inning.
Cahill threw 4 2-3 innings, allowing six
hits, four runs, walking three and striking out
three.
Oakland manufactured a run in the third,
capitalizing on Barton’s leadoff double when
Matsui brought him home on a groundout.
Jackson was coming off a dominant per-
formance in which he struck out a career-high
13 over eight innings in a win over Tampa Bay

decision
on Bonds
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Jurors in the Barry
Bonds case remained mostly out of sight on day
3 of their deliberations. They never entered
Judge Susan Illston’s courtroom on the 19th
floor of the Phillip Burton Federal Building,
spending about six hours behind closed doors
Tuesday without reaching a verdict.
Except for a couple of quick breaks and a
timeout for lunch, that was it.
No questions for the judge. No readbacks of
testimony. And no clues as to which way, if any,
the eight women and four men who will decide
the home-run king’s fate are leaning.
With each passing hour Wednesday, specula-
tion mounted as to whether the jury even will be
able to reach a verdict on the four charges: three
counts of making false statements to a grand
jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of jus-
tice.
Only the dozen jurors really know what’s
going on.
“I would say it is still early to be thinking
about a hung jury,” said Douglas Tween, a for-
mer trial attorney in the Justice Department’s
antitrust division and now a principal at Baker &
McKenzie. “A general rule of thumb is one to
two days of deliberation for every week of trial,
so I don’t think this case is unusual at this point.”
Following 25 witnesses who testified over the
better part of three weeks, the jury must decide
whether Bonds is guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt on each count. He is charged with lying to
the grand jury when he denied receiving steroids
and human growth hormone from personal
trainer Greg Anderson and when he said that he
allowed only doctors to inject him.

Beckham may return Man U,Barca into semifinals
for another MLS season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — David Beckham said it’s
possible he could be back in the MLS next
season after his five-year contract expires.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder turns
36 next month.
“Yeah, there’s a chance,” Beckham said
Tuesday. “I haven’t made any decision about
what I’m going to do after this year. I think
it’s important that I just concentrate on my
play this year.
“I feel fit, I feel good in games, I feel as if
I’m performing well. I need to continue that
and then in a few months I’ll think about what
I want to do at the end of the day.”
Beckham spent about 10 minutes with
reporters during a media availability at a
downtown hotel. The former England captain
also said he’s quite interested in the 2012
Olympics in London.
“I think it’d be something that I’d like to be
involved in, and I’d like to be involved in as a

“But we’ll have to wait

“So I’ll enjoy this sea-

Beckham will make his return to BMO
Field on Wednesday night when the Galaxy
play Toronto FC. It will be his first game

Star game.
“We know it’s a difficult game, it always is

Rakuten pitcher Darrell Rasner, who has

glad to see the season start.
“It is a sense of normalcy for them,” he said.
“It’s something that’s ingrained in them and,

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester
United moved into the Champions League semi-
finals by beating English rival Chelsea 2-1 on
Tuesday night, and Lionel Messi scored his team-
record 48th goal of the season to advance
Barcelona with a 1-0 victory at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Javier Hernandez scored in the 43rd minute for
United off Ryan Giggs’ cross. After Didier
Drogba tied the score in the 77th, Park Ji-sung
scored off the restart, with Giggs again getting the
assist, giving United a 3-1 aggregate win. Chelsea
finished a man short after Ramires was ejected in
the 70th for his second yellow card — both for
fouls on Nani.
“It was a tough game tonight,” the 37-year-old
Giggs said. “We scored a couple of great goals.
My job in the center was made easier with
Michael Carrick next to me, who had a fantastic
two games. It’s easier as you get older because
you pick your moments.”
At Donetsk, Messi scored in the 43rd minute
and Barcelona won the total-goals series 6-1.
Messi set a personal best, topping his 2009-10
total of 47 goals, which had tied the club season
scoring record set by the Brazilian Ronaldo in
1996-97.
This will be a season like no other in Japan.
Games are usually played at night, but the
league is scheduling more during daytime to
accommodate power cuts.
Rakuten manager Senichi Hoshino has said
he wants to win the championship this season
for the people of Sendai and Miyagi Prefecture.
His team made an encouraging start.
Motohiro Shima hit a tiebreaking three-run
homer in the seventh inning for the Eagles.
Hisashi Iwakuma gave up three runs in 8 1-3

close with a three-run homer in the bottom of
the ninth but the rally stopped there. Iwakuma

Manchester United will play Schalke or
defending champion Inter Milan in the semifinals,
and Barcelona will play rival Real Madrid or
Tottenham. Real Madrid goes to London with a 4-
0 lead from the first leg, and Inter goes to
Gelsenkirchen trailing 5-2.
Barcelona and Real Madrid could meet four
times in 18 days. They play Saturday in the
Spanish League and next Wednesday in the Copa
del Rey final.
The May 28 final at Wembley could feature
Barecelona and Manchester United in a rematch
of the 2009 final, won by the Spanish club 2-0.
Manchester United reached the semifinals for
the fourth time in five years.
“I think we played very, very well against a
very, very good team,” United manager Alex
Ferguson said. “In a team game we had some fan-
tastic performances, Park, Chicharito
(Hernandez), all over, no one let us down.”
Manchester United, like Barcelona a three-time
winner of Europe’s top club tournament, leads the
Premier League and plays Manchester City in an
FA Cup semifinal on Saturday. Chelsea is headed
toward another trophy-less season. The Blues,
who lost to United on penalty kicks in the 2008
Champions League final, trail United by 11 points
in the Premier League,
was replaced by Ryan Speier, who closed it out.
The Eagles and Marines were playing a pre-
season game in Akashi when the earthquake
and tsunami struck March 11. The Eagles have
been moving from city to city for preseason
games since, and gathering support.
Hisako Aoyama, a 47-year-old translator,
lived in the Tokyo area but now is behind
Rakuten all the way.
“I want to go to as many games as possible
that the Eagles will play in the Tokyo area,”
Aoyama said. “And I am wearing this (Rakuten
colors) to show my support for the team and to
cheer up people in the north.”

Continued from page 11
problem when five South Africans occupied
the first six spots in the Presidents Cup
standing — all five placing among the top 10
in their national open, with Els as the
defending champion.
That led to threats the South Africans
wouldn’t play the Presidents Cup.
Some questions remained unanswered.
The Presidents Cup announced its dates —
Nov. 17-20 — more than a year before the
South African Open said it would be played
the same time. Why would the South African
Open take that spot on the schedule unless it
knew it could use that to its advantage in try-
ing to land a World Golf Championship?
Els was furious in January when he learned
of the conflict. Why wouldn’t South Africa
have spoken to him first?
The date clash was resolved last week at
the Masters when Sunshine Tour officials
agreed to move the South African Open one
week later, swapping dates with another
South African event.
It also picked up a World Golf
Championship, although some critical details
have yet to be filled in. One is the sponsor-
ship of a tournament with a $10 million
purse. The other is when it would be played.
The International Federation of PGA Tours
met last week at the Masters to sort out this
mess.
“The sense was that a World Golf
Championship event in South Africa would
be a good thing if it could be worked out in
terms of sponsorship and a date, and we gave
them the OK to look into it,” said Ed
Moorhouse, the PGA Tour’s co-chief operat-
ing officer. “There’s no secret it’s a pretty
busy time of the year. We still have a lot of
elements that need to be worked out, not the
least of which is the date.”
Tindall said he was looking at the first
week of December, which presents only
more problems. That’s the date of Chevron
World Challenge that Tiger Woods hosts in
California, not to mention the Nedbank
Challenge in South Africa.
“They will have to move it, unfortunately
for them,” Tindall said, referring to the
Chevron. He said Woods’ event moved oppo-
site the Nedbank last year without anyone
speaking to South African officials, “so I
suppose it’s a bit of payback time.”
Most new tournaments try to attract
Woods. Tindall sounds like he’s doing all he
can to keep Woods away.
Greg McLaughlin, who runs the Chevron
World Challenge, said he would consider a
date change, though the options are limited.
“It’s a very ideal date for us, the first
weekend in December, and it works well for
the network, our sponsor and all the players,”
he said. “We’d look at other options, but
there’s really not many options around that
time frame.”
This is where golf has to be careful.
It’s great to see the game moving around
the world, especially with so many great
players coming from so many countries.
Sunday at the Masters was a snapshot of
modern golf — players from every continent
where golf is played atop the leaderboard at
some point during the final round at Augusta
National.
But it won’t work without cooperation.
The last two months of the year are busier
than ever. Europe concludes its season in
Asia with the Race to Dubai, Australia is in
the prime of its season, Japan has some of its
biggest events, and the World Cup is held
every other year in China. Is there room for
two World Golf Championships a month
apart separated by 7,000 miles on opposite
sides of the hemisphere?
Schwartzel said last week that while
America is big, “the world is bigger.”
But the more golf grows around the world,
the more crowded it gets.

“She can get a lot better. She needs to get more consistent with
her pitching. She was in trouble but she came through.”
Before Carlmont’s three-run uprising, Terra Nova was right
there with the Scots. The Tigers did a good job of putting the
ball in play and finished with six hits against two Carlmont
pitchers.
But it was the Tigers’ inability to come up with the clutch hit
that did them in. The Tigers stranded nine runners through the
first five innings — including loading the bases in the third
inning, only to come up empty.
“We just didn’t put one and one together when we needed
to,” Tolero said.
Despite the missed opportunities, the Tigers actually scored
first, scratching out a run in the top of the second. With two
outs, Vanessa Smith drew a walk. Kelly Dwyer followed with
a shot to deep right field for a double. Smith was content to
bolted for home and easily beat the throw for a 1-0 Terra Nova
lead.
Carlmont came back to tie the score in the bottom of the
third on back-to-back, one-out hits. McDonough, who started
the season at the frosh-soph level, picked up a single. Pons fol-
lowed with a slicing drive into the left-center field gap for an
RBI double, with McDonough motoring around the bases and
scoring standing up.
If Carlmont struggled through a tough year in 2010, imagine
what Terra Nova went through, as the Tigers managed to win
just one Bay Division game last season. A year later, however,
and the Tigers are a team with which to contend.
“We started slower than we wanted to (against Carlmont),”
Tolero said. “But [we] never thought we were out of it. Give us
another couple innings and it might be a different story.
“We haven’t always been a good hitting team, but now we
are a good hitting team and I’m so proud of the girls.”

Sports Brief
Villarreal’s easy outing: one out, no pitches
DETROIT — Brayan Villarreal pitched a third of an inning
— without actually throwing a pitch.
Villarreal came on in the top of the seventh for Detroit with
a man on first and two outs Tuesday. Before making a single
delivery to the plate, he picked off Texas’ Julio Borbon at first
to end the threat with the Tigers still leading 4-3. They ended
up winning 5-4.
“He’s quick. That’s exactly why we brought him in there,”
manager Jim Leyland said. “We felt like the guy would have a
good chance of stealing on (starter Brad Penny). Felt like
Villarreal could at least hold him close, hold him closer.”
That was it for Villarreal, who was replaced by Joaquin
Benoit to start the eighth.
According to STATS LLC, the last pitcher credited with a
third of an inning without throwing a pitch was Cleveland’s
Tony Sipp in a game against Tampa Bay on July 25, 2010.

Passover and Easter meals made healthy
By Lisa Tsakos
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICE
If you gave up chocolate for Lent or
bread to allow for some indulging over
Easter or Passover, deny yourself no
more. It is possible to enjoy a holiday
menu with few repercussions. In fact,
many traditional holiday foods are natu-
rally healthy.
EGGS
Extra-popular at Easter, eggs are a
symbol of new life, rebirth and fertility.
Red Easter eggs have various meanings
to different cultures, in many cases sym-
bolizing the blood of Christ. Eggs are
also a part of the Jewish Seder plate. A
hard-boiled egg is one of the six foods
on the Seder plate, as a symbol of
mourning over the destruction of the
Temple. It’s traditionally served with
salt water as the first course of the
Passover meal.
Eggs are one of the most nutritious
foods in our diet, rich in protein, miner-
als and vitamins. One medium-sized egg
provides about 75 calories and five
grams of fat. The American Heart
Association dropped their recommenda-
tion to avoid eggs following a 2008
study which found that eating up to six
eggs a week did not raise cholesterol
levels and was not linked with a greater
risk of heart disease or stroke.
Color Easter eggs naturally with grape
juice (for the color purple), turmeric
(yellow), beets or cranberries (pink),
blueberries or red cabbage (blue),
spinach (green) and brewed tea or coffee
(brown).
LAMB
Lamb, a symbol of spring and purity,
is served as a main course at both Easter
and Passover meals all around the world.
The custom is steeped in both Jewish
and Christian history. In Jewish tradi-
tion, the Lord ordered the Jews of Egypt
to sacrifice a lamb and smear the thresh-
olds of their doors with its blood, saving
their first-born sons from the wrath of
Pharoah. Christians refer to Jesus as the
“Lamb of God.”
A red meat, lamb is rich in iron, zinc
and vitamin B12. It is also one of the
best natural sources of the amino acid
carnitine, which helps to metabolize fats
in the human body.
MATZO
The Seder meal traditionally begins
with chicken soup and matzo balls.
Matzo is a bland, crispy unleavened flat-
bread made from white plain flour and
water.
One matzo is equivalent to two slices
of bread. Matzo is eaten three times dur-
ing the Seder meal, so ask your bubbie
for her best matzo recipe and make it
healthier by substituting whole wheat or
spelt flour for white refined flour.
To save a few calories when making
matzo balls, skip the eggs. Eggless
matzo balls tend to be lighter and fluffi-
er than the traditionally made
dumplings.

TIPS FOR AN EVEN
HEALTHIER HOLY DAY:
For Easter:
Include plenty of vegetables at your
Easter brunch.
Fill your Easter basket with real grass
clippings (line the basket with newspaper
first) and all-natural candy made without
artificial colors.
If the weather is good, include a fun
outdoor activity that can involve all of
your guests, such as a soccer game, a hike
through the park or an Easter egg hunt in
the backyard.
Check with your favorite chocolatier for
a gourmet dark chocolate Easter bunny.
For Passover:
Include plenty of vegetables at your
Seder brunch. Stuffed cabbage rolls, egg-
plant casserole, sweet potatoes and
steamed vegetables nicely accompany a
main meal.
In addition to beef brisket, serve fish as
a secondary dish. Omega-3-rich salmon is
always a crowd pleaser and it offers your
guests an option.
Avoid preparing (or if you’re a guest,
Color Easter eggs naturally with turmeric (yellow), brewed
eating) fried foods. Instead, fill up on fresh
tea or coffee (brown), grape juice (purple), beets (pink),
salads and soups.
A beautiful fruit salad can replace blueberries (blue),or spinach (green).
heavy desserts, or add class to your meal
by serving a platter of dried fruit, nuts and
gourmet cheese or poached pears.
For many, Passover and Easter coincide
with the start of spring and warmer weath-
er, and serve as a reminder that bathing-
suit season is right around the corner.

ENERGY
Continued from page 1
at the SunPower Corp./Flextronics
plant. “This would be a game-chang-
er for us, opening up a world of
export opportunities, and
California’s innovators and business-
es can help us achieve this goal.”
Critics of the legislation said stick-
ing with traditional energy sources
such as coal and natural gas would be
cheaper, keeping costs down for
business and residential ratepayers.
Business groups point to estimates
that the higher standard could drive
up electricity costs for California
ratepayers by more than 7 percent,
despite language in the legislation to
limit cost increases.
The California Republican Party
pointed to one study that suggested
the average Californian’s energy bill
would go up 19 percent under the
new standard.
“Industry in California already
pays electricity rates about 50 per-
cent higher than the rest of the
country,” said Gino DiCaro,
spokesman for the California
Manufacturers and Technology
Association. “With 33 percent,
those rates are going to go up even
more.”
Brown said he would look careful-
ly at whether the new standard will
drive up electricity costs but said
increasing use of renewable sources
makes sense for California and the
country.
“I know one thing: Being depend-
ent on foreign fossil fuel is not good
for our economy, it’s not good for
our security, and it’s not good for our
climate,” the Democratic governor
told the Associated Press. “We have
to be bold.”
With the state budget debate rag-
ing in Sacramento, Brown said anti-
government rhetoric oversimplifies
the reality that government can help
bring innovation into the market-
place.
Making California less reliant on
fossil fuels also will benefit the
state’s air quality and make oil sup-
ply a smaller factor in America’s for-
eign policy, said state Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto, who carried
the legislation.
Simitian was instrumental in set-
ting the current renewable power
standard at 20 percent and has been
working for four years to get the
increase to 33 percent.
Republican Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
LOCAL
vetoed an earlier version of the bill
but issued an executive order that
called for 33 percent renewable
power by 2020. Simitian kept push-
ing to get the higher standard written
into state law, which is harder to
undo than an executive order.
When his bill died on the Senate
floor as the 2010 legislative session
ended, Simitian said the action sent a
chill through the renewable power
generation market.
Supporters said the new bill sends
a clear signal to financial backers that
demand for renewable power will
keep growing.
“It really comes down to whether a
bank will loan you money to build a
facility,” said Jan Smutny-Jones,
executive director of the Independent
Energy Producers, a coalition of
electricity generators that produce
about 80 percent of California’s
renewable power.
Chu drew applause from the crowd
when he announced a conditional
commitment to provide a $1.2 billion
loan guarantee for a SunPower solar
project in San Luis Obispo County
that’s expected to power 60,000
homes and create 350 jobs.
On Monday, Chu announced a
$1.6 billion guarantee for a
BrightSource Inc. solar plant in the
Mojave Desert that could create
1,000 jobs and power 85,000 homes.
The Milpitas SunPower plant
where Brown signed the bill builds
solar arrays on a high-efficiency pro-
duction line that was developed in
part with research and development
support from DOE.
California power generation is just
short of receiving 20 percent from
renewable sources. About 57 percent
of in-state generation in 2009 came
from natural gas, with about 15 per-
cent from nuclear power plants and
12 percent from large hydroelectric
generators.
Because utilities are close to meet-
ing the previous requirement for
renewable power, the investors who
provide money to build hundreds of
megawatts of generating capacity
under construction this year would
have put away their checkbooks in
the next year or two, said Dan Adler,
president of the California Clean
Energy Fund.
The higher state standards give
lenders confidence that there will be
long-term demand for renewable
energy and that their loans will be
THE DAILY JOURNAL
repaid, said Adler, whose $30 million
nonprofit investment fund backs 40
companies developing green energy
technology.
Meeting the higher standard is
expected to require tens of billions of
dollars in capital investment for gen-
eration equipment and transmission
lines, with expenses ultimately
passed along to ratepayers of the
state’s investor-owned and municipal
utilities.
The bill includes language that
would require the California Public
Utilities Commission to set reason-
able limits for what utilities should
have to pay and allows the standards
to be relaxed if not enough renew-
able power or transmission capacity
is available to meet them.
California’s largest utility, Pacific
Gas & Electric Co., has supported
higher renewable standards but
opposed Simitian’s bill, saying the
legislation does not include adequate
safeguards against excessive costs.
The new standard exceeds a 30
percent-by-2020 requirement
approved last year by Colorado legis-
lators, but the Colorado standard did
not apply as broadly to all types of
power providers as California’s.

Ham can be more than heat and eat
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The prepared ham has become so ubiquitous
— honey baked and spiral cut, anyone? — at
Easter, many cooks assume they can just heat
and eat, leaving all their culinary creativity for
the rest of the meal.
To be sure, cured and smoked pork legs are
tasty as is, but there’s little reason not to give
it an exotic treatment, as with this apricot-
peach and gingersnap crusted baked ham.
Here, the bright flavors of apricot-peach jam
spiked with some Dijon mustard and brown
sugar provide the glue, if you will, for a spicy
crust of gingersnap cookie crumbs, all of
which combine to create a perfect balance to
the salty ham.
This simple and versatile crusting technique
comes courtesy of meat expert Bruce Aidells.
If you like, passion fruit jam or guava jelly
also work well in this recipe.
APRICOT-PEACH AND GINGERSNAP
CRUSTED BAKED HAM
Start to finish: 2 hours 15 minutes (15 min-
utes active)
Servings: 14
8- to 10-pound bone-in or boneless ham
1 1/2 cups apricot-peach jam (can substitute
apricot or peach jam for the blend)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs (about
15 cookies pulsed in a food processor)
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 4
tablespoons of water
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

low enough in the oven so that the ham won’t
touch the roof of the oven while baking.
Trim any skin from the ham, then trim the
external fat to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place
the ham, fat-side up, in a roasting pan and
place in the oven. Bake until the internal tem-
perature reaches 130 F at the center, about 10
minutes per pound. Remove from the oven
and increase the heat to 425 F.
In a bowl, whisk together the jam, brown
sugar and mustard. Set aside.
Using the tip of a sharp knife, score the sur-
face of the ham in a crisscross diamond pat-
tern. Spoon about two-thirds of the jam mix-
ture generously over the entire surface of the
ham. Apply the gingersnap crumbs, pressing
them on with your hands to form a thick layer.
Return the ham to the oven and bake until the
surface begins to brown and become crusty,
about another 15 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven and transfer
to a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make a sauce for the ham,
pour the liquid from the roasting pan, includ-
ing any browned bits from the bottom of the
pan, into a medium saucepan. Stir in the
chicken broth and remaining jam mixture.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then
season with salt and pepper. Stir in the corn-
starch mixture and boil, stirring, until the
sauce just thickens. Strain the sauce, if
desired.
Serve the carved ham with the sauce on the
side.

Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson wants

“I think we are past the rainy day and
we are now in the eye of the storm,” she
said.
The county would be irresponsible to
allow the elimination of entire programs
and services and should instead use a
higher percentage of ERAF to cover the
shortfalls, she said.
ERAF is a way for the state to make
up for a portion of the loss of tax money

fund education.

Lieberman and Wozniak said they had

from the private firm.
“I have no interest in privatizing fire.
No interest in seeing a proposal. That

Wozniak opposes pursuing a
Wackenhut bid because “they are really
low-balling the labor.”

The county is looking at cutting $50
million and 270 positions as part of a
budget plan aimed at funding $1.7 bil-
lion in services and whacking away at a
growing structural deficit estimated to
hit $150 million by 2015.
In a series of presentations in March,

The San Carlos City Council will
entertain Wackenhut’s proposal at a
meeting April 18.
Monday night, the San Carlos
Council voted to sit down with a media-
tor and Belmont representatives by
April 22 to try to resolve the dispute.
The two cities currently operate the
fire department under a funding formula
that takes population, calls for service
and assessed property value into consid-
eration. But San Carlos sought to
change the formula after its share to
fund the department climbed beyond
what was expected. San Carlos sought
to change the formula but when
Belmont disagreed, San Carlos moved
to dissolve the fire department by Oct.
13 of this year.
Belmont has a dedicated funding
stream to pay for fire services through
an assessment while San Carlos has to
pay for the service out of its general
fund.
San Carlos has already outsourced its
police department to the San Mateo
but the ball is now in Belmont’s court to
choose, Moura said.
Last night, the Belmont City Council
voted to have Councilwoman Christine
Wozniak sit down one-on-one with San
Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad in private.
Regardless of the date Belmont choos-
es, the San Carlos City Council will hear
presentations on fire service proposals
April 18. The meeting will also include a
suggestion by Councilman Bob Grassilli
who the council agreed Monday night
will speak first.
The meeting was also moved up to
6:30 p.m. to accommodate the anticipat-
ed presentations without dragging too
long into the night.
Any decisions about the fire proposals
Wagstaffe said.
Thompson left the scene and Vargas
contacted his father inside who followed
the “wide drag trail” of blood to
Chastain’s body and called 911,
Wagstaffe said.
At Tuesday’s arraignment, Vargas
appeared with retained attorney Josh
Bentley while Thompson requested a
court-appointed attorney. Both return to
court April 20 to enter pleas.
Vargas has no prior criminal history in
THE DAILY JOURNAL
tion, the members seemed focused on
saving services and programs for the
most vulnerable populations of children
and the elderly.
Public safety also got attention, as
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier expressed
concern about more cuts to the already-
trimmed Probation Department. The
mixture of fewer probation officers, seri-
ous gang issues and hundreds of offend-
ers without supervision is a “recipe for
disaster,” she said.
Tissier, in a sentiment echoed by the
others, wants more information on coun-
ty positions that generate enough rev-
enue to justify keeping them. She also
wanted to know if the all-girls juvenile
camp, Camp Kemp, can be repurposed
rather than completely shuttered.
Gibson also wants details on what
positions or programs get matching
funds from the state or federal govern-
ment.
The current budget document isn’t
really clear on which matches are
required and which the county chooses,
said Supervisor Don Horsley who asked
for clarification during the next discus-
sions.
Horsley’s cost-cutting suggestions
include ridding county employees of cell
phones, pagers and wireless air cards
which all total more than $600,000
annually.

County Sheriff’s Office and is seeking
cost savings in other areas to try to cut
back from an ongoing structural deficit.
The mediation between Wozniak and
Ahmad, however, will not be done in
public, a fact that did not sit well with
some on the council.
“What can be said in private that can’t
be said in public? I would rather do this
in public,” Warden said.
Wozniak, too, would rather conduct
the process in public but agreed to meet
privately with Ahmad to see if there is
any room to negotiate a new deal.
The idea of mediation emerged in
February when San Carlos officials
went looking for help in solving its fire
dilemma at San Mateo County’s
Finance and Operations Committee.
Supervisors Carole Groom and
Adrienne Tissier offered to provide
mediation to the two cities, however,
rather than offer a proposal to San
Carlos to provide fire services.

the April 25 meeting.
The fire joint powers authority is set to
dissolve Oct. 13 unless the two cities
decide differently. Each agreed to medi-
ation at the urging of a Board of
Supervisors subcommittee.
The city of San Carlos also has to con-
sider service proposals by private firm
Wackenhut Services, Inc. and Redwood
City which offers both a takeover and
hybrid model. The city could also opt for
a stand-alone department.

Pursuant to County Ordinance Sec-
tion 2.83.170:
(a) Before the County contracts for
engineering services, architectural
services, management consultants, or
similar one-time professional assis-
tance to accomplish specific projects,
requests for proposals shall be ob-
tained if the expense of the contract is
estimated to exceed the amount es-
tablished by the Government Code as
the limit of the Purchasing Agent's au-
thority to engage independent con-
tractors. The request for proposal
shall be in accordance with Adminis-
trative Memoranda promulgated by
the County Manager.
(b) The Board of Supervisors may
authorize the use of request for pro-
posal procedures when County de-
sires to acquire systems, such as
computer system, telecommunication
systems, or the like, consisting of both
equipment and software programs.
The Board, if it determines that a re-
quest for proposal is in the best inter-
est of the County, may authorize such

gated by the County Manager.
(c) The Board of Supervisors may
