Brown pushing for taxes

Revenue up in state,but governor says tax extensions still needed
By Bill Silverfarb
Revised budget DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SPENDING Despite a bump in revenue, balancing the

Based on a rebounding economy and higher
state tax revenue,the revised budget calls for
general fund spending to rise above his previ-
ous proposal for the 2011-12 fiscal year,from
$84.6 billion in January to $88.8 billion today.
The revised number still represents a $2.8 bil-
lion reduction from the 2010-11 general fund
budget.
Total state spending,which includes federal
money and revenue dedicated to specific pro-
grams,would rise to $132.5 billion,about $5
billion higher than in the current fiscal year.
DEFICIT
The projected deficit has fallen from $26.6 bil-
lion earlier this year to about $9.6 billion,
according to the governor’s office.That is due
to:
• $11.2 billion in cuts and funding shifts already
adopted by the state Legislature and signed
into law by the governor.
• $2.2 billion in cuts approved by the Legisla-
ture that have not yet been sent to Brown.
• Estimated $6.6 billion growth in tax revenue.
• $2 billion in increased spending,largely on
education,because of the higher income lev-
els.
• Eliminates $1 billion Brown had hoped to
transfer from Proposition 10,the early child-
hood development program known as First
Five,because it is tied up in litigation.
TAXES
Brown hopes to hold a special election asking
voters to extend a series of temporary in-
creases to the sales,personal income and
vehicle taxes.Because all the taxes will expire

state’s budget will still require the approval of
tax extensions, either by the Legislature or
state voters, Gov. Jerry Brown said yesterday
as he unveiled the May revision of the fiscal
year 2011-12 budget.
When Brown took office in January, the
state faced a nearly $26 billion deficit but that
figure has now dropped to just more than $10
billion through approved cuts by the
Legislature and $2.5 billion in additional rev-
enue, the governor said yesterday.
To close the gap, the Legislature will still
need to approve extending a current sales tax,
vehicle license fee rates and the dependent
credit exemption by another five years,
according to a summary of the May revision
of Brown’s budget.
For local lawmakers working in
Sacramento, making more than $13 billion in
cuts already has been a painful process.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park,
said he made more than 20 votes in March to
make deep cuts to critical state services to
trim the deficit.
“These are services that I value deeply and
can attest to their success in strengthening
communities and individuals. In many cases,

Belmont-San Carlos Fire Chief Doug Fry
has announced his retirement after serving in
the same department for 36 years.
His departure comes, however, as the
department he leads is set to dissolve in
October.
The Belmont-San Carlos Fire Board of
Commissioners must now decide whether to
promote a battalion chief from within to be the
acting chief or find some-
one from outside the
department to lead it until
October, when it is set to
dissolve.
“Dissolution is hard

Operation Donkey
brings Iraqi equine to U.S.
WASHINGTON — It took 37 days and
a group of determined animal lovers, but
a donkey from Iraq is now a U.S. resi-

Smoke The Donkey, who became a
friend and mascot to a group of U.S.
Marines living in Iraq’s Anbar Province
nearly three years ago, arrived in New
York this week aboard a cargo jet from
Turkey. After being quarantined for two
days he was released Saturday and began
a road trip to Omaha, Neb., where he is
destined to become a therapy animal.
The chest-high donkey’s story begins
in the summer of 2008, when he wan-
dered in to Camp Taqaddum west of
Fallujah, a former Iraqi air base being
used by Marines.
The smoke-colored donkey, which
once snatched and ate a cigarette from a
careless Marine, soon became such a part
of the unit that he received his own care
packages and cards. Marines took care of
him until 2009 when they left the area,
but they turned Smoke over to a sheik
who promised to care for him.

District a good fit for new superintendent
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Maggie MacIsaac grew up with aspirations of
becoming a teacher.
A self-described academic and studious child,
MacIsaac enjoyed school. MacIsaac credits her
fourth-grade teacher for noticing an aptitude in
reading and creating individual challenges.
But when it came time to go to college and
study toward that dream, MacIsaac found
California much like it is today — facing cuts
and what appeared to be a dwindling window of
opportunity for teachers.
As such, MacIsaac dabbled in other profes-
sions like accounting and social work before
deciding she ultimately wanted to be a teacher.
Today, the 56-year-old finds herself with years
of varied academic experience. This summer
she’ll add superintendent to her resume as the
new leader of the Burlingame Elementary
School District. MacIsaac, assistant superin-
tendent of the Castro Valley Unified School
District, was unanimously named the new
superintendent of Burlingame schools last
week. She will officially take over the position
July 1 filling the vacancy left by Superintendent
Dianne Talarico who announced her retirement
in January for medical reasons.
For MacIsaac, it’s a return to a smaller district
she has grown to really love.

yesterday in return for 33-year sentence in state

Monday.
Raul Gutierrez Contreras, 33, was scheduled
to start a jury trial Monday. Instead, he pleaded
no contest to eight counts — forcible rape,
forcible sodomy, forcible oral copulation,
forcible assault with intent to rape, attempted
forcible rape, threatening a witness, making
felony threats and felony false imprisonment,
said Wagstaffe. Gutierrez faced 25 years to life
for the charges. As part of his plea deal,
Contreras will be sentenced to 33 years in state
prison later this summer. The delay will allow
the District Attorney’s Office to gather infor-
mation about restitution for the victims and get
clearance to share his HIV test results with vic-

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. is being hit with
another lawsuit related to last year’s deadly
pipeline explosion in San Bruno.
The complaint was filed in San Mateo County
Superior Court last week by a representative of
James Franco, who died from injuries suffered
in Sept. 9 blast that killed eight people and
destroyed 38 homes. Eric Laughlin, who repre-
sents Franco’s estate, claims that poor mainte-
nance and construction resulted in an “inevitable
explosion” of the PG&E gas pipeline. He is
seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial.
The San Francisco-based company already
faces dozens of lawsuits from victims’ families
and people who claim they were impacted by
the inferno.

Levees require round-the-clock watch
By Kevin McGill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — All along the swollen
Mississippi River, hundreds of thousands of
lives depend on a small army of engineers,
deputies and even prison inmates keeping
round-the-clock watch at the many floodwalls
and earthen levees holding the water back.
They are looking for any droplets that seep
through the barriers and any cracks that
threaten to turn small leaks into big problems.
The work is hot and sometimes tedious, but
without it, the flooding that has caused weeks
of misery from Illinois to the Mississippi
Delta could get much worse.
“I volunteered for this,” said jail inmate
Wayne McClinton, who was helping with the
sandbagging effort in northern Louisiana’s
Tensas Parish. “It’s a chance to get out in the
air, to do something different. It’s not boring
like prison is.”
To take pressure off levees near Baton
Rouge and New Orleans, engineers have
opened two major spillways. After water was
released over the weekend at the Morganza
spillway near Baton Rouge, deputies and
National Guardsmen fanned out to warn resi-
dents in its path, most of whom have heeded
the call to seek higher ground.
Bernadine Turner, who lives in a mandatory
evacuation zone near Krotz Springs, spent a
third day Monday moving her things out.

Legislature approves
contracts for six state unions
SACRAMENTO — The state Assembly
approved labor contracts Monday for more
than 50,000 prison guards, attorneys, engi-
neers and other state workers that would save
more than $300 million a year.
The 54-17 vote was the minimum needed
for approval of SB151 and came despite
objections from Republican lawmakers that
the contracts should have saved even more
money.
Supporters say the contracts boost the
amount state workers pay toward their retire-
ment benefits, and that any salary increases
are meant to offset those higher contributions.
The contracts contain “significant employee
concessions that will immediately save the
state millions of dollars” and continue to do so
in future years, said Assemblyman Warren
Furutani, D-Lakewood.

Engineers, various local levee districts, coun-
ty sheriffs, municipal police forces and pri-
vate security details.
“For the most part, it’s hot and boring until
you find something,” Col. Jeffrey Eckstein,
commander of the Vicksburg, Miss., district
of the Army Corps, said as he toured the river
last week.
Although the job requires 24-hour vigi-
lance, Reynold Minsky, president of a north
Louisiana levee district, said there are some
places in his mostly rural district of forest and
farmland where he will not ask anyone to go
after sundown.
“Unless we’ve got a serious situation that
we know we’ve found before dark, we don’t
ask these people to go into these wooded areas
because of the snakes and the alligators,”
Minsky said while taking a break from heli-
copter tours of the levees. ”That’s inhumane.“
Minsky’s 5th Louisiana Levee District is
plagued these days by “sand boils,” places
where river water has found a way through
earthen levees and bubbled up on the dry side
like an artesian well. He insists they are no
reason for alarm. If the water is clear, as it has
been so far, that means the levee is not erod-
ing. Stopping the boil involves ringing it with
sandbags.
“We’ve got more sand boils than we’ve had
in recent days, and we’re going to have more.
We know that,” Minsky said. “They’re pop-
ping up in different places that we’ve not had
them before.”
“Every little boy has got a SEAL in them,”
Stumpf joked after completing one of the
workouts in Southern California.
Former Navy SEAL Cmdr. Mark Divine
said his business has been inundated with
inquiries since the raid. Most have been from

IMF chief jailed without bail in sex case
By Jennifer Peltz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Haggard and unshaven
after a weekend in jail, the chief of the
International Monetary Fund was denied
release on bail Monday on charges of trying
to rape a hotel maid as allegations of other,
similar attacks by Dominique Strauss-Kahn
began to emerge.
In France, a lawyer for a novelist said the
writer is likely to file a criminal complaint
accusing Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting
her nine years ago. A French lawmaker
accused him of attacking other maids in pre-
vious stays at the same luxury hotel. And in
New York, prosecutors said they are working
to verify reports of at least one other case,
which they suggested was overseas.
Strauss-Kahn’s weekend arrest rocked the
financial world as the IMF grapples with the
European debt crisis, and upended French
presidential politics. Strauss-Kahn, a member
of France’s Socialist party, was widely con-
sidered the strongest potential challenger next
year to President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Making his first appearance on the sex
charges, a grim-looking Strauss-Kahn stood

Rahm Emanuel sworn in
as Chicago’s new mayor
By Don Babwin and Deanna Bellandi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Rahm Emanuel was sworn in
Monday as Chicago’s first new mayor in more
than two decades, a historic power shift for a city
where the retiring Richard M. Daley was the
only leader a whole generation had ever known.
The former White House chief of staff took
the oath of office at downtown’s Millennium
Park, one of the signature accomplishments in
Daley’s efforts to transform Chicago from a
gritty industrial hub into a sparkling world des-
tination. Emanuel later headed to the fifth-floor
office of City Hall that was Daley’s lair for 22
years — a longer tenure than anyone, including
his legendary father, ever occupied it.
“We must face the truth,” Emanuel said in his
inaugural speech. “It is time to take on the chal-
lenges that threaten the very future of our city:
the quality of our schools, the safety of our
streets, the cost and effectiveness of city gov-
ernment, and the urgent need to create the jobs
of the future.”

haired Strauss-Kahn said nothing as a lawyer
professed his innocence and strove in vain to
get him released on bail.
The judge ruled against him after prosecu-
tors warned that the wealthy banker might flee
to France and put himself beyond the reach of
U.S. law like the filmmaker Roman Polanski.
“This battle has just begun,” defense attor-
ney Benjamin Brafman told scores of
reporters outside the courthouse, adding that
Strauss-Kahn might appeal the bail denial.
Strauss-Kahn is accused of attacking a maid
who had gone in to clean his penthouse suite
Saturday afternoon at a luxury hotel near
Times Square. He is charged with attempted
rape, sex abuse, a criminal sex act, unlawful
imprisonment and forcible touching. The
most serious charge carries five to 25 years in
prison.
Strauss-Kahn, who has headed the interna-
tional lending agency since 2007, was in New
York on personal business and was paying his
own way, so he cannot claim diplomatic
immunity, the IMF said. He could seek that
protection only if he were conducting official
business, spokesman William Murray said.

Reforming public pensions
— Los Angeles Daily News
R
eason, not hyperbole, is need-
ed to bring real reform to pub-
lic pensions
In the fight over pension reform,
teachers get a bad rap. Politicians, the
public and media tend to lump all pub-
lic employee benefits together and com-
pare those to private sector workers —
who, no surprise, generally get less
generous retirement payouts.
But that hides tremendous disparities
that exist between different public
Letters to the editor
Shameful behavior
Editor,
The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks
were predictable and totally preventa-
ble. The Bush administration ignored
all signs, fired gay American linguists
fluent in Arabic and left intercepted
documents with clues untranslated.
Why was Osama bin Laden immediate-
ly suspected of being behind the
attacks? Because outgoing president
Clinton had warned incoming president
Bush, together with an Aug. 6, 2001,
memo regarding pending attacks on our
soil, all ignored by Bush.
Ill-conceived as the attacks on
Afghanistan and Iraq were, the United
States had to be the first country to start
wars in a new century and millennium,
bringing nothing but misery, but no bin
Laden, despite extensive torture.
Torture is not only illegal and unbe-
coming of a civilized country, but also
counter-productive. Especially now,
when reps for the previous administra-
tion are busy demanding credit for the
disposal of public enemy number one,
it needs to be said that no matter how
indiscriminately, and often amateurish-
ly, captives were tortured under Bush,
Osama bin Laden was not found. Bush
lost interest after six months, and
“enhanced interrogation” abandoned
after a couple of years, without results.
Because it was illegal, ineffective or
both?
Contrast that incredibly costly,
embarrassing failure to the inexpen-
sive, successful approach by our Navy
Seals, a job superbly planned and exe-
cuted, a mission President Obama
deserves full credit for. He made the
right decision, for the right mission, at
the right time, in secrecy. This was a
masterpiece that not only cut the head
off the al-Qaida snake, but secured a
goldmine of information.
Against some military advice,
Obama rejected mindless bombing,

Take, for example, teachers. They

A Communist and a bully
Editor,
Mr. Kreitman again shows his true
colors (Why the chickens won’t cross
the aisle” column in the May 14 edition
of the Daily Journal). He believes the
government can force anybody to do
anything. We are not broke, just raise
taxes again. The wealth of the top 400
Americans would only fund our federal
government for one year at current
spending levels. America has been in
trouble for over 75 years; when FDR
discovered we could run a federal
deficit to cover what we didn’t have in
cash. Then LBJ merged Social Security
funds with the general fund to cover his
Vietnam War and any other pet projects
Congress wanted to fund. And now the
Treasury owes Social Security $2.6 tril-
lion on top of the $14 trillion in our
official debt.
We have allowed generations to
become addicted to welfare (corporate
and personal). Politicians encourage
our current welfare system (corporate
subsidies for business and earned-
income credit and food stamps for the
poor). This is not Democrat versus
Republican issue; this is a right versus
wrong issue. We are a Constitutional
Republic and we have allowed our so-
called lawmakers (from City Councils

In fact, the study found teachers’
retirement perks are not that much bet-

better if California schools adopted a

their constitutional authority.
Politicians know they have illegally put
the American people in debt.
We need to cut our spending and
allow Americans do what they do best,
invent solutions without government
interference. There was a song by the
Temptations in 1970 called “Ball of
Confusion” with a line “Politicians say
more taxes will solve everything.” Well
Mr. Kreitman, we have been raising
more taxes and debt, and it has not
solved anything. Americans need to
stand up and fire all politicians, unless
they bring all budgets under real con-
trol. My grandchildren hate the fact
they are already in debt, and so am I.

Revenue and the budget
Editor,
California is reportedly receiving
more revenue than projected and the
news is predicted to make it more diffi-
cult for Gov. Jerry Brown to push his
budget plan through.
Why do our politicians continue to
believe that any “windfall revenue”
must immediately be spent? California
continues to have a $15.4 billion budg-
et deficit. Until that deficit is eliminat-
ed, any “windfall” should be immedi-
ately applied to it. The battle to reduce
the deficit should continue unabated
until that goal is reached.
This means, continue with the plan
for service cuts and the necessary
extensions on sales, vehicle and person-
al income taxes. Any increased revenue
should provide a quicker return to sol-
vency in California … not more “busi-
ness as usual.”

Unplanned
parenthood
“T
he young and growing child is our deepest
expression of hope: the most profound qualities
of human sensitivity and morality flow from the
nurturing of childhood — a sense of meaning and purpose in
life. Birth and growth reflect
the theme of life, a sense of
awe and wonder at nature’s
marvels. Our young are out
own new beginnings, a testa-
ment to our trust in the future.”
— Eda LeShan, “The
Conspiracy Against
Childhood.”
Now that the official
Mothers’ Day has passed and
most mothers have been suit-
ably recognized by their chil-
dren who we have hopefully
helped (or are helping) make
sense of this world, I want to
stir up another issue in my
cauldron of politically incorrect opinion. It stems from a recent
article in the February “Family Circle” magazine that con-
tained some disturbing statistics about teen pregnancy. These
statistics come from “The National Campaign to Prevent Teen
and Unplanned Pregnancy” which commemorated its 10th
anniversary May 4. The emphasis here is that parenthood
should be taken seriously and teens, both girls and boys,
should be taught about the pitfalls of unexpected pregnancy
and how to prevent it. For some, in this day and age, it seems
that producing unplanned children has become a sort of status
symbol — the unfortunate outcome of mindlessness.
When you consider the following statistics, you know that
we are in dire need of a national campaign: More than 730,000
teen pregnancies annually in the United States are (by far) the
highest rate of any industrialized country. Every hour, 87 teen
couples conceive and 50 adolescent girls give birth! One third
of girls conceive before age 20. About 20 percent are actually
intended. One in six deliver a baby. Information given in sex
education classes isn’t always complete. Twenty-two states
require emphasis on abstinence, 17 suggest contraception be
mentioned and to date, no state makes it compulsory to educate
kids about birth control.
This brings up many questions — the main one being, why
are teenage birth rates so much higher in the United States than
in other developed countries? Many possibilities come to mind.
Is it because sex education in our schools is terribly inadequate
and sometimes nil? Is it because of the influence of religious
conservatives who keep trying to undermine anything concern-
ing planned parenthood except abstinence and who have had so
much influence on policies in our country regarding contracep-
tion, abortion, etc.?
Are parents failing to do the job of educating their kids about
the responsibilities of preventing pregnancy and raising chil-
dren? Is it because irresponsible sexual activity if so glamor-
ized by so much of our media? (The Journal of Pediatrics
reports that “Kids aged 12 to 17 who watch a lot of sexually
charged television shows are twice as likely to experience a
pregnancy in the subsequent three years as those who watch
the fewest.”) Does the television show, “Teen Moms” help or
hinder the situation? Do we, in this country, value children so
little that we do not emphasize the responsibility of their care?
Are too many of our young spoiled, indulged and/or neglected
by parents who are too busy doing their own thing? Are so
many so focused on the moment that possible future conse-
quences of unprotected sexual activity are not considered?
Is it because so many girls and young women are desperate
for love and attention and popularity that they are easily influ-
enced? Maybe some of our corporate interests that have no
qualms about exploiting even very young people to gain profits
have something to do with it (Recall the recent flap over
Abercrombie and Fitch’s promotion of padded push-up bikini
bra tops for girls as young as 7). Or is it all of the above?
So what happens to many unplanned babies who are born
under such circumstances as they grow up? Chances are great
that they will suffer from poverty, neglect and abuse and
become a drain on the welfare system. They may be shifted
from one caretaker to another — sometimes to foster care.
They are more likely to grow up with little or no parental guid-
ance, drop out of school, roam the streets at a young age, join
gangs, have their own unplanned babies and inhabit the crimi-
nal justice system.
Mother’s Day and every day we must consider seriously the
fact that three in 10 teen girls in this country become pregnant
before the age of 20. Add women of any age who produce
unplanned babies they aren’t prepared to care for adequately.
Thanks to the efforts of the “National Campaign,” statistics are
improving, but there’s still a long way to go.

U.S. credit maxed out
By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The government
has maxed out its credit card.
The United States reached its $14.3
trillion limit on federal borrowing
Monday, leaving Congress 11 weeks to
raise the threshold or risk a financial
panic or another recession.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
formally notified Congress that the gov-
ernment would halt its investments in
two federal pension plans so it won’t
exceed the borrowing limit.
Geithner said the government could
get by with bookkeeping maneuvers like
that through Aug. 2. After that, the gov-
ernment could default on its debt for the
first time, threatening the national credit
rating and the dollar.

U.S.builders see little

WASHINGTON — U.S. homebuilders
are concerned that the struggling housing
market won’t recover this year and some
feel it may be getting worse.
Builders’ outlook for the industry in
May was unchanged at 16, the National
Association of Home Builders said
Monday. It has been at that level for six of
the past seven months.
Any reading below 50 indicates nega-
tive sentiment about the market. The index
hasn’t been above that level since April
2006.
Wall Street
Investors are growing increasingly
concerned over the prospect of an
unprecedented U.S. default on its debt.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
told Congressional lawmakers in a letter
Monday that the agency is taking steps
to postpone a default.
“The main thing hanging over most
financial markets right now is what’s
going to happen with the debt ceiling
and government borrowing and spend-
ing,” said Tim Courtney, the chief invest-
ment officer at Burns Advisory Group in
Oklahoma City.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
47.38 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at
12,548.37. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 8.30 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1,329.47. The Nasdaq fell 46.16, or 1.6
percent, to 2,782.31.
Commodity prices were mostly lower.
Oil prices fell $2.28 to settle at $97.37 a
barrel Monday as worries eased that
Mississippi River flooding could disrupt
refineries and slow demand.
Commodities have been falling broad-
ly over the last two weeks because of
concerns that the global economy is
showing signs of weakening.
Geithner sent Congress a letter saying
he would be unable to make the pension
investments in full. He urged Congress
to raise the debt limit “in order to protect
the full faith and credit of the United
States and avoid catastrophic economic
consequences for citizens.”
Republican leaders in the House have
said they won’t raise the debt limit
unless the Obama administration first
agrees to big spending cuts or to steps to
lower the debt over the long run.
House Speaker John Boehner repeated
the pledge in a statement Monday. The
statement did not address Geithner’s
warning about what would happen if the
limit were not raised.
“Americans understand we simply
can’t keep spending money we don’t
have,” Boehner said. “There will be no

Influence game: Helmet bill stokes lobbying effort
By Frederic J. Frommer

WASHINGTON — A major football hel-

a congressional push to come up with new
safety standards for children’s football hel-
mets.

and adults and is the official helmet of the
Wong a quick learner
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo’s Jesse Wong had an epiphany of
sorts about a year ago.
It was then, after being a distance runner on
the Bearcats’ track and field team for the
majority of his career, that Wong decided to
try his hand at the hurdles.
That move didn’t go very well.
“I almost killed myself,” Wong said.
But despite the near-death experience, the
senior decided to put in the time mastering the
art.
“(I said) If you’re serious about this, I’ll
teach you how to hurdle,” recalls San Mateo
head coach Ed Riley. “Normally, it takes
about two years to get real good flexibility and
proficiency in the hurdles. He’s the one that
put the time in. He worked at it, and bam, here
we are.”
By “bam” Riley is referring to Wong and his
performance at the Peninsula Athletic League
championships last week. Despite his lack of
experience, Wong captured the 110-meter
hurdles in exciting fashion. Minutes later, he
took home gold in the 300-meter hurdles
rather easily. Oh yeah, then he topped off his
afternoon at the College of San Mateo by
picking up a bronze medal in the triple jump.
For his efforts, Wong is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
“Jesse is an anomaly,” Riley said. “This
comes from a person that has hurdled for 18
years, and usually I can recognize hurdlers
when I see them — although Jesse is tall,
lanky, and he’s got that flexibility, he really
started off as a distance runner. (But) he’s a
quick learner, that’s one thing I have to say
about Jesse, he’s a quick learner.”
Apparently, he’s quick enough to pick up a
difficult skill and master it to a championship
level. Wong said his original intent when
arriving on the San Mateo campus was to be a
sprinter. Unfortunately, the speed wasn’t quite
there and he was moved into the long dis-
tances. But there was something about the
sprint that always attracted him. One day, just
San Mateo’s Jesse Wong picked up hurdles this year, but has been a quick learner. He

Menlo dominates in run to CCS tennis title

When it comes to sports on the Peninsula,
there are impressive streaks, there are dynas-

It’s not an exaggeration. And proof of that

s I periodically checked the high
school baseball standings throughout
the season, it became clear to me
this was a down year for local nines.
My instincts were verified Sunday when the
Central Coast Section seedings and pairings
were released. To put it bluntly, it could be a
tough week for San Mateo County baseball.
Only three teams — Half Moon Bay,
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
champion, as well as Menlo School and
Sacred Heart Prep,
which finished in a tie
for the West Bay
Athletic League cham-
pionship — received
seeds high enough to
earn home games. The
other six teams that
qualified will all be on
the road.
The PAL especially,
got very little love from
the seeding committee.
Of the top four Bay
Division teams that
qualified — champion El Camino, second-
place finisher Burlingame, third-place
Carlmont and fourth-place Hillsdale — El
Camino had the highest seed with a No. 12,
followed by Burlingame at No. 13 and
Hillsdale at No. 14.
Carlmont, once again, drew the short stick.
The Scots were the only Division I school to
qualify from the PAL. Their reward? The last
seed in the draw — No. 16 — and a first-
round matchup with top-seeded St. Francis,
the West Catholic Athletic League champion.
It’s nothing new for Carlmont. The Scots
have made the CCS playoffs the last four
straight years, with no seeding higher than
13th, which came in 2008. Last year, the Scots
were the No. 16 seed and faced No. 1 Mitty. In
2009, they caught a break and faced a public
school team. Although, as the No. 14 seed, the
Scots drew No. 3 Wilcox that year. And in

The rest of CCS learned that the hard way
as their simply was no stopping the Knights.
But when you mix incredible talent and match
that with a desire to be the best, a stage like
CCS was something Menlo has been looking
forward to all season.
“These guys always want the competition to
be really high,” Shine said. “They look for it,
they yearn for it, they love the battles so they
actually get a little disappointed when it’s not
closer, actually. They love the competition
and that’s why we practice so hard. We have a

Sloppy Giants squander lead,lose to Rockies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez capped a
five-run sixth-inning outburst with a three-run
homer off an unusually wild Tim Lincecum
and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 7-4 win
over the San Francisco Giants on Monday
night.
Seth Smith also homered off Lincecum (3-
4), who set up the Rockies’ big inning with a
throwing error on a potential double-play
comebacker that led to four unearned runs.
Lincecum allowed seven runs, three of them
earned, on nine hits and walked six in 5 2-3

Djokovic’s 37-0 start changes French Open dynamic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s tough to decide what’s most impressive
about Novak Djokovic’s 37-0 record in 2011, the
best start in men’s tennis in more than a quarter-
century.
Djokovic has won all seven tournaments he’s
entered, including the Australian Open; he had
never collected more than five titles in a full sea-
son. He’s a combined 7-0 against Rafael Nadal
and Roger Federer, two men who dominated him
and the sport the past several years. He’s 13-0
against all top-10 players. He leads the ATP in

The Rockies turned four double plays, Clay
Mortensen (1-0) pitched six solid innings for
his first win in a Rockies uniform and Huston
Street closed out the ninth inning for his 13th
save in 14 tries.
Lincecum’s start was pushed back a day
when the Giants were rained out Sunday at
Chicago, so instead of facing the Cubs, he got
to see the struggling Rockies, who had lost 10
of 13 games this month.
“Maybe it’s an omen,” Rockies manager Jim

saying: “He is doing amaz-

He is 0-4 against the sec-

Herrera, ending that bit of drama. But he was
still dealing it, stretching his scoreless inning

Deng’s defense on LeBron no fluke

DEERFIELD, Ill. — The Chicago Bulls
saw it all year from Luol Deng, so what he did
against LeBron James and the Miami Heat in
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals hard-

Hit big shots? Hit the boards? Limit the
game’s most talented player? Check, check
and huge check.
The Bulls lead the Heat 1-0 after a 103-82
victory on Sunday, and a big reason for that is
Deng. All he did was score 21 points, grab
seven rebounds and contribute four steals
while neutralizing James in an all-around per-
formance that helped lift Chicago to an
impressive victory.
Yes, Derrick Rose was up to his usual MVP
tricks, scoring 28 points, but it was Deng pro-

Game 2 is Wednesday at the United Center,
but the Bulls are certainly not writing off

It might help if the Heat moved the ball
rather than try to beat the Bulls off the dribble,
an approach that did not work. They also got

met has proven elusive, and there’s a consen-
sus that concussions can’t be eliminated from
football. Last year, the NFL acknowledged
that the lack of a perfect helmet was a factor
in its decision to impose hefty fines and the
threat of suspensions to cut down on danger-
ous hits at the professional level.

Now, they’re in a hole.
“Everybody understands that we are disap-
pointed about last night’s game, and we still
have an opportunity and sometimes you have
to have amnesia going into Game 2,” coach
Erik Spoelstra said. “You can’t just let it go,
the next 2 1/2 days we’re going to work to fix
some of these challenges that we had last
night. But we still have to understand
Wednesday is a golden opportunity for us. It
doesn’t matter. Sometimes there are good per-
formances, bad performances in the playoffs.
That’s really irrelevant, it really just comes
down to a win and a loss.”
Their chances would certainly be better if
James performed like he is capable.
He scored just 15 points on 5-of-15 shoot-

“We have a young, energetic, athletic team that
loves to play and wants to play every night,”
coach Scott Brooks said. “We’re excited about
being in the position that we are in. We’re not ’just
happy to be here’and just ’whatever happens hap-
pens.”’
Without the Lakers, and with the Eastern
Conference finals featuring the newly crowned
MVP and newly crowned Coach of the Year
against the glitzy guys from South Beach, this
series could be considered the undercard. Having
clubs located 200 miles apart in the south, central

television ratings.

Clemens judge summons
Mitchell commission lawyers
WASHINGTON — The judge presiding over
Roger Clemens’ criminal case wants attorneys
who investigated performance-enhancing drugs
for Major League Baseball to come to a private
hearing.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton on Monday
ordered the lawyers who helped write the 2007
Mitchell Report to appear in his Washington
courtroom June 8 to discuss their interviews with
Clemens accusers Kirk Radomski and Brian
McNamee. He said attorneys from the New
York-based DLA Piper law firm who helped
write internal memos from those interviews must
attend.
Clemens wants copies of their memos to help
defend against claims by Radomski and
McNamee that they supplied him with perform-
ance-enhancing drugs.
Swift wins opening
stage of Tour of California
SACRAMENTO — Ben Swift of Britain
emerged from a massive sprint finish and took
the lead Monday after winning the 76.3-mile,
weather-shortened and rainy opening stage of
the Tour of California.
Swift, 23, who competes for Team Sky,
completed the road race from Nevada City to
the state capital in 2 hours, 47 minutes and 12
seconds and earned his fifth win of the season.
Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) of
Slovakia was second, and Matthew Goss
(HTC- Highroad) of Australia was third in the
pack finish, about a bike length behind.
Originally scheduled as the second stage,
the first day of competition in the seven-day
race was reduced from 133.2 miles because of
snowy conditions at high elevations near the
planned start at Squaw Valley.
The original opening stage from South Lake
Tahoe to Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort was can-
celed Sunday because of snowy and wet road
conditions.
The seven-day race continues Tuesday with
a 121.9-mile road race from Auburn to
Modesto.
Appeals court backs NFL,
lockout remains in place
MINNEAPOLIS — The NFL’s lockout
stays, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.
That means the league likely won’t get back to
business until next month and maybe for much
longer.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said
the lockout can remain intact until a full
appeal is heard on whether it is legal. That
hearing is scheduled June 3 in St. Louis, and it
is before the same panel that issued this 2-1
decision.

some of these matches that they play. They’re
just all about using themselves to get better.”
Perhaps more impressive than that talent is
the consistency in which the concept of tradi-
tion is passed along at Menlo. From the last
freshmen on the frosh/soph team to the senior
team captain, the message of excellence on
the tennis court is something Shine says is
known before the players ever pick up a rack-

and Nor Cals and then do really well in the
national tournament when we go to Newport.
That’s the goal and that’s what they shoot for.
They know coming in that that’s what we do
and the tradition has been set by the guys that
have come through here. They don’t want to
be the weak link in the tradition.”
The 2011 version isn’t weak by any stretch
of the imagination. Daniel Morkovine, J.T.

bles in the championship match, while captain

captains and Shine couldn’t be happier with
the way they have led this team.
“(Their leadership) has been unmatched,”
he said. “They’ve brought such a great exam-
ple, leading by examples. They’re not huge
talkers, but they’re do-ers. And just by their
leadership on how they go about things, how
serious they take it, how hard they work in
practice, the encouragement they’ll give to the
young underclassmen, is just phenomenal.
And that was taught to them when they were
young as I remember and this is what they’re
giving to the next generation behind them. It
makes my job a whole lot easier.”
Shine said the team is still very much in
work mode as they are currently practicing to
young talent at Menlo, more titles are sure to
come.
“You just do it again,” Shine said when
asked what more can be accomplished, given
the fact that the bar has already been set so
high for everyone else. “The challenge is,

playing around at practice, Wong started
jumping hurdles. The rest they say, is history.
Wong began his afternoon at the PAL cham-
pionships with his toughest challenge.
“To be completely honest, I did not think I
was going to win the 110s,” Wong said. “I
wasn’t really convinced, I thought I had a shot
but, with the 300 hurdles I was a little more
confident in myself. I think that (the 110-
was a lot of great competition.”
“We didn’t pick him to win the highs
because there are a couple of good hurdlers in
the league — (Will) Langi, (Daniel) Hirsch —
[who] had better times,” Riley said. “But even
those two guys didn’t hurdle as well as Jesse.
I thought they might beat him on sheer speed.
But it didn’t turn out that way.”
No it didn’t. Wong’s race was cleaner, more
technically sound, than the faster competitors
and was good for a time of 15.91 and the gold.
Wong took the momentum from the surpris-
ing win over to the 300-meter hurdles and ran
second better than his teammate, Larry
Campbell as San Mateo went 1-2 in that
event.
“A good 40 percent (of hurdles) is mental
because you have to stay focused in the hur-
dles all the time,” Riley said. “You have to
stay focused from beginning to end, no matter
what happens around you. There is a certain
rhythm that you establish. Once you establish

“(The meet was) a culmination of just a lot
of hard work,” Wong said. “And, I really
enjoyed sports at San Mateo and my coaches
have always been there for me so (winning)
was kind of something I could do for them.”
“He’s a delight,” Riley said of Wong. “He’s
all about team. I’ve been very fortunate here
in San Mateo that they kids I get to coach
here, they seem to work together. It doesn’t
matter what their abilities are. Jesse is a total
team leader.”

LOUNGE
Continued from page 11

2008 as the 13th seed, the Scots drew No. 4 Mitty.

Suffice to say, there hasn’t been a lot of CCS playoff success for
the Scots since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. They
have not won a CCS game since a first-round game in 1995.
Even Serra, which won the 2009 title, had a down year. The
Padres are only the No. 11 seed in Division I and will play their
first, first-round playoff game since 1999 — when neutral sites
were used for first-round games. Serra hasn’t lost a first-round
game since 2005’s shocking 3-1 loss to 15th-seeded Santa Clara.
El Camino has had a dry spell similar to Carlmont’s. The Colts,
who are making their second appearance in two years following a
two-year drought, have not won a CCS game since a 1996 win
over Soquel, two years after losing to Serra in the 1994 champi-
onship game.
The best bet to make any noise this postseason has to be defend-
ing Division III champion Menlo School, which is the No. 3 seed.
Despite playing in the relatively weak WBAL, the Knights beefed
up their resume with a number of quality non-league opponents,
many who play in Division I and II.
Surprisingly, in addition to champ Half Moon Bay, the PAL’s
Ocean Division got a second team into the tournament, with
Capuchino earning a No. 15 seed in Division III.
***
County softball teams got a little better treatment as four of the
eight teams that qualified earn home games.
The biggest surprise was Terra Nova earning the No. 8 seed in
Division III and getting to host a first-round game. The Tigers fin-
ished in fourth place in the PAL’s Bay Division, but ended the reg-
ular season on a three-game losing streak. CCS usually takes the
Bay Division’s fourth-place team as an at-large, but given the
Tigers’ losing league record and just a .500 mark overall, it was a
bit dicey.
Another surprise — this one a little bit eyebrow raising — was
Ocean Division champion San Mateo having to go on the road for
a first-round game. Usually the Ocean Division champion gets a
home game by virtue of being a division champion, but the No. 11
Bearcats will face No. 6 Aptos, which also qualified as a league
champ, thus earning the home game.
Capuchino, which finished in third in the PAL, got the highest
seed of all county teams. The Mustangs were given the No. 2 seed
in Division III — and the first-round bye that comes with it.

Study:Electronic
medical records
are vulnerable How to square budget cuts, need for aging research
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The nation’s push to
computerize medical records has failed to
fully address longstanding security gaps that
expose patients’ most sensitive information to
hackers and snoops, government investigators
warn.
Two reports released Tuesday by the inspec-
tor general of the Health and Human Services
Department find that the drive to connect hos-
pitals and doctors so they can share patient
data electronically is being layered on a sys-
tem that already has glaring privacy problems.
Connecting it up could open new pathways
for hackers, investigators say.
The market for illicit health care informa-
tion is booming. In recent years, the case of a
former UCLA Medical Center worker who
sold details from the files of actress Farah
Fawcett, singer Britney Spears and others to
the National Enquirer gained notoriety.
Most cases don’t involve celebrities or get
much attention. Yet fraudsters covet health
care records, since they contain identifiers
such as names, birth dates and Social Security
numbers that can be used to construct a false
identity or send Medicare bogus bills.
The shortcomings in the system “need to be
addressed to ensure a secure environment for
health data,” said the main report, adding that
the findings “raise concern” about the effec-
tiveness of security safeguards for personal

The disease standoff
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — How can Alzheimer’s
research receive more scarce dollars without
cutting from areas like heart disease or can-
cer?
In one of the stark realities of the budget cri-
sis, scientists’ chances of winning research
dollars from the National Institutes of Health
for any condition have dipped to a new low.
“We are clearly not able to support a lot of
great science that we would like to support,”
NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins told senators
last week. This year, for every six grant appli-
cations that NIH receives, “five of them are
going to go begging.”
That’s down from nearly 1 in 3 grants fund-
ed a decade ago, and 1 in 5 last year. And it
comes before the looming fight over how
much more to cut in overall government
spending for next year, and where to make
those cuts.
Already, a new report says one of the
biggest losers is aging research, despite a rap-
idly graying population that promises a wors-
ening epidemic of dementia, among other ill-
nesses.
“Nobody wants to say Alzheimer’s is worse
than diabetes or heart disease or cancer,” says
Dr. Sam Gandy, a prominent neuroscientist at
New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
But “part of the problem now with all the
pressure to cut the budget ... is that for
Alzheimer’s to get more, something else has
to lose,” adds Gandy. His own lab is scram-

Study challenges rural lack of access to surgery
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — A surprising
study of nearly 46 million
Medicare patients says older resi-
dents in rural areas are more like-
ly to have any of nine common
surgeries than people in cities.
Back surgery, hip and knee
replacements and prostate removal
were among the operations per-
formed more often in rural
Medicare patients, the study
found. Emergency surgeries and
elective operations alike were
more common among rural resi-
dents.
The results seem to challenge
the idea that city dwellers have
better access to medical care, but
experts say the research raises
more questions than it answers.
“When I first saw the result, I
looked at it and said maybe I got it
backwards,” said lead author Dr.
Mark Francis, a researcher at
Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center in El Paso. The
study doesn’t indicate where rural
residents had surgery. It’s likely
many had to travel some distance,
which would be risky when urgent
surgery is needed.
The study didn’t report on how
the patients fared after their oper-
ations. Nor did it say whether
rural residents had worse health
overall than city dwellers,
although some previous research
has suggested that is generally
true.
The authors say their findings
could mean that rural residents are
Emergency surgeries and elective operations alike are more common among rural residents.
sicker, getting treatment they
don’t need, or more likely to delay
treatment for aches and pains until
they worsen and require surgery.
It’s also possible rural residents
have less access to non-surgical
treatments, or view them as less
desirable. But the real reasons
can’t be gleaned from the study,
which was a data analysis on all
Medicare patients in 2006.
Though the cases are five years
HEALTH
old, Francis said the results likely
reflect current practice and noted
that he had found similar trends
going back to the 1990s. He said
it’s unlikely the recession had
much impact because these
patients are covered by Medicare.
The researchers used ZIP codes
and a government classification
system that designates regions on
a 10-point scale, with 1 being the
most urban and 10 the most rural.
They compared surgery rates
among residents in regions 7 to 10
— the most rural — with the most
urban areas.
The study was released Monday
in the Archives of Surgery.
Francis said colleagues told
him, “If you find a 5 percent dif-
ference, that would be a big differ-
ence from a public health policy
view.” But the contrast between
the two groups was larger than

that for all but one of the opera-
tions — abdominal aortic
aneurysms.
Rural residents were almost 20
percent more likely to have heart
valve replacements, and about 15
percent more likely to get knee or
hip replacements or spine fusion
surgery. Smaller but still notewor-
thy differences were found for
prostate surgery, appendectomies,
surgery to remove neck artery
blockages, and surgery to fix bro-
ken hips.
An Archives critique says the
study raises hard questions.
“We have been led to believe
that patients in rural areas lack
appropriate access to surgery.
Although this may be true for spe-
cific areas, it does not seem to be
true for the nation as a whole,”
Massachusetts General Hospital
surgeon Dr. George Velmahos
wrote.
Dr. Sam Finlayson, a Dartmouth
Medical School surgeon and
researcher, called the results
provocative but said, “I don’t
think this study can negate all of
the evidence that there are pockets
of problems with access to surgi-
cal care across rural America.”
Other research has suggested
there’s a growing shortage of sur-
geons in rural America. But Keith
Mueller, a rural health expert at
the University of Iowa, said the
new study raises the “so what?”
question if people lacking local
access can get surgery elsewhere.
Even so, he said, it still may be
more appropriate to have more of
those services locally.

killed Osama bin Laden in a garrison town
close to the national capital.
Sen. John Kerry, the first high-level
American official to visit Islamabad since the
May 2 death of the al-Qaida leader, said
Pakistan agreed to take several “specific steps”
immediately to improve ties.
But he did not say whether those steps
include what the U.S. wants most: action

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has told

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
made no provision to ensure the bishops actu-

immediately denounced the recommendations
as “dangerously flawed” because they stress

Zurich voters keep ‘suicide tourism’alive
By Jphn Heilprin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH — Voters in Zurich have over-
whelmingly rejected calls to ban assisted
suicide or to outlaw the practice for nonresi-
dents.
Zurich’s cantonal voters by about a 4-to-1
margin Sunday defeated both measures that
had been pushed by political and religious
conservatives.
Out of more than 278,000 ballots cast,
the initiative to ban assisted suicide was
opposed by 85 percent of voters and the
initiative to outlaw it for foreigners was
turned down by 78 percent, according to
Zurich authorities.

President Barack Obama has set a goal for
every American to have a secure electronic
health record by 2014. Eventually, hospitals
and doctors would be able to share instantly
patients’ clinical information online. That

takes like giving a patient unconscious in the
emergency room a drug to which he’s allergic.
It could also save money by cutting duplica-
tive lab tests and scans.

Richard Hodes says last year, his institute
couldn’t pay for about half of what were
ranked as the most outstanding applications
for research projects. Still, he hopes to fund
more scientists this year by limiting the num-
ber who get especially large grants.
What’s the squeeze? Congress doubled the
and has been since 1941, provided the helper
isn’t a medical doctor and doesn’t personal-
ly benefit from a patient’s death. About 200
people a year commit suicide in Zurich.
“It’s everybody’s own decision. It must be
allowed — they do it anyway,” said Felix
Gutjahr, a Zurich voter who opposed the bal-
lot initiatives.
Other Zurich residents said they also
believe it’s a matter of personal freedom,
though some expressed unease and concern
that Zurich has become something of a
tourist destination for hundreds of people,
mainly other Europeans, and a few
Americans, who each year visit because they
want to end their lives.
Last year, the Swiss government rejected
calls to ban assisted suicide groups but said
requirements for safely transmitting comput-
erized medical data.
However, that same agency has not issued
general security requirements for the comput-
er systems at hospitals and doctors’ offices,
systems on which the information would be
created, shared and stored. It’s a little like put-
ting a big lock on the front door of the house,
but leaving the garage door open.
To underscore the point, the second audit
examined computer security at seven large
hospitals in different states and found 151
security vulnerabilities, from ineffective wire-
less encryption to a taped-over door lock on a
room used for data storage. The auditors clas-
sified 4 out of 5 of the weaknesses uncovered
as “high impact,” meaning they could result in
costly losses, even injury and death.
The government is offering rewards and

ment that helped speed the genetic revolution
and thus a host of new projects that scientists
are clamoring to try.
But in more recent years, economists say
NIH’s budget hasn’t kept pace with medical
inflation, and this year Congress cut overall
NIH funding by 1 percent, less than expected
after a protracted battle.
The Obama administration has sought near-
ly $32 billion for next year, and prospects for
avoiding a cut instead are far from clear. Sen.
Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chairs the subcom-
mittee that oversees the issue, warns that under

want to cut down on suicide tourism, and
that a majority of the groups and local gov-
ernments they consulted were in favor of
drawing up stricter rules to govern assisted
suicide groups.
The Federal Democratic Union and the
Evangelical Party had sought the bans, one
of which would have required at least one
year’s residency in the canton of Zurich
before being able to make use of legal assist-
ed suicide. But both right-wing and left-
wing parties campaigned against that.

offices to adopt electronic medical records.
Incentive payments could total as much as
$27 billion over 10 years. Providers who
insist on clinging to paper records will even-
tually face cuts in Medicare payments.
Responsibility for computer security is
divided among several agencies in the Health
and Human Services Department. The main
ones are a unit called the Office of the
National Coordinator, which is spearheading
the drive to computerize records, and the
Office of Civil Rights, which oversees the
enforcement of existing privacy laws.
The inspector general said the coordinator’s
office has not asserted sufficient leadership on
security, and the civil rights unit needs to
redouble efforts to safeguard electronic priva-

health spending, “severe reductions to NIH
research would be unavoidable. That doesn’t
make sense.” Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.,
pushed Collins to make the case that invest-
ments in medical research really can pay off.
Collins’ response: Four decades of NIH-led
research revealed how arteries get clogged
and spurred development of cholesterol-fight-
ing statin drugs, helping lead to a 60 percent
drop in heart-disease deaths. Averaged out,
that research cost about $3.70 per person per
year, “the cost of a latte, and not even a grande
latte,” Collins told lawmakers.

FRY
Continued from page 1
Andy Klein.
Klein called Fry a “voice of reason” as
the two cities struggled to negotiate a
new funding formula to keep the depart-
ment intact.
Come October, Belmont will likely
have its own stand-alone fire department
as San Carlos will partner with Redwood
City to provide the service.
Belmont Mayor Coralin Feierbach is
not sure, however, how her city will
manage the transition to a new depart-
ment without Fry at the helm.
“I don’t know how we will make it
through dissolution without him,”
Feierbach said.
Fry already weathered one dissolution
process back in 2005 when the South
County Fire Authority, a 26-year part-
nership between Belmont and San
Carlos, was disbanded.
Feierbach credits Fry with getting the
fire department back together after the
South County Fire Authority dissolved.
He was named interim chief of the
South County Fire Authority back in
2005 after Chuc Lowden retired.
“Doug put it back together again,”
Feierbach said. “He was a great ambas-
sador between the cities and firefighters
and did it without grandstanding or fan-
fare. He did it simply and well.”
Fry started with the Belmont Fire
Protection District in 1975.
“I started on the bottom and worked
every position in the organization,” Fry
said yesterday.
Fry said he did not want to be in the
way as the two cities embark on different
paths regarding fire service.
“Fire service is slow to change and it
will be a little uncomfortable,” he said.
“I don’t want to be in the way of what-
ever changes come.”
He is confident, though, that the cur-
rent crop of battalion chiefs can get both
cities through the dissolution process.
“The department is taking a new direc-
tion and entering a new era. Sometimes
it’s better if I’m not here,” Fry said.
His retirement becomes effective at
the end of June.
One of his biggest joys was watching
young firefighters develop and mature
with the department.
“I hired them and promoted them and
watched them grow. I’ve got T-shirts that
are older than some of these guys,” he
said.
Belmont Councilman Warren
Lieberman said Fry set the department
up for future success by securing mil-
lions in grants for new equipment and
operations.
“I can’t imagine a better fire chief,”
Lieberman said.
He would prefer, however, that Fry
would stick around long enough to get
the cities through the dissolution
process.
“Having Doug is the best option but
the talent is there around him to lead,”
Lieberman said.
San Carlos opted to dissolve the
department after its share to fund it,
based on population, assessed property
value and calls for service, went up
beyond what was expected.
Belmont Councilman Dave Warden
said Fry did an “incredible” job despite
the contentious relationship between the
cities.
“He’s had to put up with a lot,”
Warden said. “Most would have run
screaming but he stuck it out.”
Both cities pay roughly $7 million to
fund the department.
Fry’s salary was in the $250,000
range.
He plans to spend his retirement trav-
eling, spending time with the grandchil-
dren and relaxing at his second home in
Montana.

PG&E
Continued from page 1
more in funds as part of the GPRP
between 1987 and 1999 than was actual-
ly spent,” according to a response letter
from CPUC to Speier.
Speier specifically asked the CPUC
whether PG&E used all the approved
funding for replacing the transmission
line in San Bruno.
The utility is now required to file a
safety report twice per year on its opera-
tion, inspection and replacement of
pipelines with full scrutiny placed on
how authorized money is spent.
“Obviously, this degree of monitoring
didn’t exist when PG&E decided to
forgo replacing aging pipelines in San
Bruno in the early 1990s. In fact, PG&E
decided not to replace the very pipelines
it is now going to spend millions to
hydro-test.” Speier wrote in a prepared
statement. “It is tragic that it took a dis-
aster that killed eight people to bring to
light the ramifications of $183 million in
under-spending.”
The CPUC findings on the under-
spending underscores its need to closely
monitor PG&E’s decision-making on
the operation of its natural gas pipelines,
Speier wrote.
The CPUC has opened a proceeding to
evaluate new natural gas rules, the sub-
ject of which was a public participation
hearing last night in Santa Rosa, CPUC
spokesman Andrew Kotch said yester-
day.
The CPUC has already had two public
participation hearings, in San Bruno and
Los Angeles, to hear public testimony
related to gas pipeline safety and the
CPUC’s regulation of natural gas trans-
mission and distribution pipelines,
Kotch said.
The CPUC first noted PG&E was
underspending on its pipeline replace-
ment program back in 1995 when it
reduced authorized funding to more
closely match what PG&E was spend-
ing, according to the response letter to
Speier.
“PG&E’s performance in the 1990s
undercuts its opposition today to safety
arguments supporting the hydrostatic
testing of all pre-1962 transmission lines
in use in highly populated areas,” Speier
wrote in the statement.
Overall, PG&E spent slightly more
than $2 billion on pipeline work since
1987.
PG&E officials did not comment on
the $183 million yesterday but did say
the company is committed to making the
pipeline system safer.
“There is no greater responsibility
than operating a safe and reliable natural
gas pipeline system for our customers
and we will continue to work with our
regulators and public safety officials as
we move forward,” PG&E spokesman
Brittany Chord said yesterday.

these fortunate chances, because they could come in
unique guises.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
BROWN
Continued from page 1
protect. However, as hard as these choices
were, they had to be made. Not con-
fronting the deficit would only lead to
much greater harm to the state,” Gordon
wrote in a prepared statement yesterday.
Gordon has previously said an “all-
cuts” budget would be too devastating for
the state.
Republican officials, however, continue
to oppose extending the taxes although
they praised the governor for making edu-
cation and law enforcement funding a top
priority.
“We also applaud the governor for
embracing Republican proposals of pay-
ing down state debt and providing some
job-creation incentives,” according to a
joint statement by the state Senate’s top
Republican Bob Dutton, R-Rancho
Cucamonga, and Senate Budget Vice
Chair Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar. “But the
May revise goes too far on taxes and not
far enough on reforms.”
Without Republican support, voters will
likely be asked to approve extending the
taxes through a ballot measure. Without
two-thirds support, which has so far
failed, the extensions would have to be
placed on the ballot through a signature-
gathering initiative process.
“There is more than one path to suc-
cess,” state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo
Alto, said yesterday regarding the tax
extensions.
An all-cuts budget, however, should not
even be up for discussion, Simitian said.
Brown’s current budget calls for the
elimination of 5,500 state jobs and
requires almost all state employees to pay
at least 3 percent of their salary for retire-
ment costs to bring down the deficit.
To protect education and public safety
funding, the taxes would have to be
extended, according to the summary of
the May budget revision put out by the
Governor’s Office.
The state did realize more than $2.5 bil-
lion in tax revenue than it expected,
according to the Legislative Analyst’s
Office, but will not be nearly enough to
close the deficit.
Brown proposed a spending plan of
$88.8 billion, a nearly 5 percent increase
over the budget introduced in January. The
increase was fueled by rising sales, per-
sonal income and corporate tax receipts
— the three main sources of the state’s
general fund.
He and Democratic lawmakers want to
renew increases to the personal income,
sales and vehicle taxes approved two
years ago but scheduled to expire June 30.
Brown had wanted the increases extended
for five years.
He said yesterday, however, he still
wants to renew the increases to the sales
and vehicle taxes this year but not the
increase to the personal income tax.
Instead, that increase would be reinstated
for the 2012 through 2015 tax years.
The governor expects an overall
increase of $6.6 billion in tax receipts
through the rest of this fiscal year and into
the coming one.
Noting the increased tax revenue,
Brown proposed to slightly modify his
call for a renewal of expiring tax increas-
es. But he defended his decision to push
ahead with the tax plan, saying the state
faces deficits into the future.
“California’s finances were plunged
into turmoil by the Great Recession and a
decade of short-term fixes and fiscal gim-
micks,” he said during a Capitol news
conference. “This is not the time to delay
or evade. This is the time to put our
finances in order.”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
said Brown has pushed a lot already to
reform the way the state operates.
The governor has already eliminated 43
boards, commissions, task forces, offices
and departments including the California
Medical Assistance Commission, the
LOCAL
Postsecondary Education Commission
and the Unemployment Insurance
Appeals Board to trim from the state’s
deficit.
“His proposal to continue belt-tighten-
ing in discretionary areas such as getting
rid of unnecessary boards and commis-
sions is the right place to be cutting spend-
ing,” Hill wrote in a prepared statement
yesterday.
But Republicans said the extra $6.6 bil-
lion in revenue should eliminate the need
to extend the taxes.
“With $6.6 billion in new revenues,
Republicans are right — we don’t need,
and it is ridiculous to ask voters for five
years of new taxes,” Dutton and Huff
wrote in the prepared statement. “Rather
than curbing government spending, the
governor’s revised budget still sets the
state on a course of excessive spending
growth in the future — spending that
relies on tax increases.”
Brown’s May revision preserves the
balance between reductions in spending
and revenue enhancement, Gordon said.
“However, this budget still hinges on
the revenue extensions, which must be
approved by state lawmakers,” Gordon
said in the statement.
Even though Democrats have majorities
in the Assembly and Senate, two
Republican votes are needed in each
house to reach the two-thirds threshold to
approve tax increases or place a measure
on the ballot.
Brown does not want lawmakers to
authorize the tax extensions directly.
Instead, he wants them to place the ques-
tion before voters in a special election,
perhaps this fall.
The constitutional deadline to pass a
budget is June 15.
Last year, then governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and the Legislature
missed the deadline by more than 100
days.
The Associated Press contributed to this
report.
Tuesday • May 17, 2011
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
by July 1,Brown wants the Legislature to
approve temporarily tax increases until a
special election can be held,possibly in
the fall.The proposed tax solutions are:
• Maintaining an increase from 0.65 per-
cent to 1.15 percent in the vehicle
license fee and a 1 percent increase in
the state sales tax for another five years.
If approved,some of the revenue from
the sales tax and vehicle license fees
would go to local governments.
• Suspending a temporary increase of
0.25 in the state income tax rate for
2011,but resume the increase for four
years starting in 2012.
• Ending a corporate tax break and
streamlining the current tax structure by
requiring all corporations to pay taxes
solely on their share of sales in California,
generating $942 million.
EDUCATION
• K-12 funding will rise by about $3 bil-
lion under the voter-approved
Proposition 98,bringing total school
spending to $66 billion,or $38.7 billion
from the general fund.That represents
about 43 percent of all general fund
spending.It would be the highest edu-
cation guarantee since the 2007-08 fiscal
year.
• If the taxes are not extended,the
Brown administration says it will be nec-
essary to cut $5 billion from schools and
community colleges,which the gover-
nor called a “major downsizing of the
state’s education system.”The adminis-
tration said that would equate to
eliminating 4 weeks of school and cut-
ting 52,000 college classes,or alternately,
laying off 51,000 teachers (one-sixth of
California’s public school teachers) and
boosting community college fees to
$125 per unit from the current $36.
• Eliminates funding for the planned
school data collection systems that are
meant to better keep track of student
academic performance,graduation rates
and teacher data that would have en-
abled the state to track student
performance by teacher.Total savings is
$3.5 million.
• Restores about $350 million the state
owes to California community colleges
that it had planned to delay paying,as
well as $133 million in increased prop-
erty tax revenue.
• There are no changes to funding pro-
posals for University of California and
California State University systems,each
27
of which took a $500 million cut already.
But Brown’s administration warns that
without the tax extensions,each system
would face an addition $500 million cut.
HEALTH,HUMAN SERVICES
The state’s health care programs for the
poor were hit by the budget cuts
adopted earlier this year by the Legisla-
ture and signed into law by Brown.They
include:
• Requiring beneficiaries of Medi-Cal,the
state’s health care program for the poor,
to pay $5 per visit for medical,clinic and
dental visits,implementing a $50 co-pay
for emergency room visits,$3 or $5 for
prescription drugs and up to $200 per
hospitalization.The changes are ex-
pected to reduce costs by $668 million
in the coming fiscal year.
• Cutting Medi-Cal payments to doctors,
pharmacies,hospitals and nursing facili-
ties by 10 percent for a savings of $423
million — Extending a fee on hospitals
through the end of June,which netted
$210 million.The administration wants
to extend the fee for another year,bring-
ing in another $320 million in the
2011-12 fiscal year.
• Eliminating adult day health care,sav-
ing nearly $170 million a year.
• Capping the number of Medi-Cal doc-
tor visits without prior approval at seven
per year,saving $41 million.
• With the elimination of Healthy Fami-
lies,which served poor children,
Medi-Cal is expected to grow to more
than 8 million recipients in the next fiscal
year,from 7.5 million.Medi-Cal costs will
go up,but the state will save a net $31
million.
• Medi-Cal costs will rise by $188.5 mil-
lion through June 2012 because of
increasing costs for managed care.
STATE EMPLOYEES
• Brown’s budget would cut the state
work force by about 5,500,including
about 3,600 prison guards and other cor-
rectional workers whose jobs would be
eliminated as the state transfers respon-
sibility for low-level offenders to counties.
Positions also would be cut by closing 70
state parks and in other state depart-
ments as state funding is reduced.
• Brown proposes eliminating or merg-
ing 43 boards and commissions,for a
total savings of $82.7 million.They in-
clude nine advisory and review panels at
the state Department of Fish and Game,
the Rural Health Policy Council,the Cali-
fornia Postsecondary Education
Commission,the Office of Gang and
Youth Violence Prevention,the Commis-
sion on the Status of Women and the
California Anti-Terrorism Information
Center.
