Feds put pressure on PG&E

D.C.hearings reveal company memo said automatic shutoff valves of little value
By Joan Lowy
and Matthew Brown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Pacific Gas
and Electric officials involved in a
deadly pipeline explosion last
September acknowledged Tuesday
that four years before the accident
they rejected installing valves that
could have automatically shut off or
remotely controlled the flow of gas.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
employees were questioned at a
National Transportation Safety
Board hearing about a 2006 memo
that said installing the valves would
have “little or no effect on increas-
ing human safety or protecting
properties.”
Gas engineer Chih-hung Lee,
author of the memo, said he consid-
ered only industry studies, not gov-
ernment studies, in reaching his
conclusions. Industry studies, he
said, found that most of the damage
in gas pipeline accidents occurs in
the first 30 seconds.
However, when the pipeline rup-
tured on Sept. 9 underneath a San
Bruno neighborhood, gas continued
to feed a pillar of fire for an hour
and a half before workers could
manually shut off the flow. Eight
people were killed, many more

Man shot by officers had troubled past
Three investigations into fatal shooting under way
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The man who shot a .38 caliber Smith &
Wesson revolver at police Monday before
being shot dead had a criminal history that
included arrests for making threats, drunken
driving and hit-and-run, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
Robert Caron, 35, was schizophrenic, his
mother Sandra Caron said, and may have
been upset about confusion regarding his
medication when his day started Monday
morning at the CVS Pharmacy at the Borel
Shopping Center in San Mateo.
Caron allegedly made threats to CVS
employees while wielding a gun before end-
ing up in the backyard of a neighbor on
Edinburgh Street where he was acting irra-
tionally, witnesses said.
Dispatch received two calls related to
Caron before police set up a perimeter
around Oak Street just before 11 a.m.
Monday, a block away from Borel Middle
School and a short walk from the CVS
Pharmacy. A hostage negotiator was set to
talk Caron down before he fired directly at
officers, according to police.
His mother, however, suggested Monday
that her son may have only been carrying a
BB gun, rather than the .38 caliber revolver
police say they recovered from the scene.
Yesterday, Sandra Caron had little to say
about her son when approached at her Oak
Street home.
She did, however, back up on her claims
her son was only carrying a BB gun Monday
morning.
“I’m not sure about that. I’m not sure what
type of gun he had,” said the mother, who

Spa on Third Avenue in downtown San

The spa was the subject of a criminal
investigation and civil lawsuit itself in 2007
after one of its male employees was arrested
for inappropriately touching female clients.
The spa shut down abruptly in 2008 and
the San Mateo Police Department received
several complaints about the spa related to
gift certificates it did not honor. Police, how-
ever, said at the time the incident was a civil
matter between the spa owners and its
clients.
The Carons are originally from Romania
and moved to San Mateo when Robert was a
young boy, according to a 1998 San
Francisco Chronicle article.
The Carons left Romania to flee its
Communist regime, according to the article.
While the Carons mourn the loss of their
son, two investigations are under way to
determine whether the use of deadly force
by the two officers who shot at Caron was
appropriate. A third investigation is looking
into the criminal aspect of Caron’s actions.
Since 2006, San Mateo police have been
involved in four officer-involved shootings,
including Monday’s.
In 2006, a homeless transient named
Stanley Wong was shot dead by a police offi-
cer on the corner of Fifth Avenue and B
Street in downtown San Mateo.
Wong was allegedly giving a customer
outside a nearby market a hard time before
police arrived. Wong had a knife and
advanced on the officer even after the sus-
pect was Tasered, police said at the time.

shot by San Mateo police officers in pursuit
of alleged robbers who were armed and fired

children from him. The gunman opened fire
on police officers at her San Mateo home on
Hobart Avenue, just blocks from Monday’s
incident.
The shooting suspect, Raymond Gee, 22,
was fired upon by police but was later deter-
mined to have died from a self-inflicted gun-
shot wound to the head.
The last officer-involved shooting in San
Mateo was in August 2009 when police were
serving a “high-risk” search warrant for a
home on Newbridge Avenue. The person
named in the search warrant tried to flee the
scene in a car, ramming a police vehicle in
the process before police fired on the sus-
pect. The suspect was seriously wounded but
survived the shooting.
Officer-involved shootings can be emo-
tionally draining for police, said Sgt. Dave
Norris.
Nationally, police officers have been
killed at a much higher rate in firearm-relat-
ed deaths in recent years, Norris said.
For San Mateo Police Chief Susan
Manheimer, guns in the hands of those who
shouldn’t have them are a big part of the
problem.
“Officer-involved shootings have unfortu-
nately increased in many jurisdictions and it
is a reflection that the proliferation of guns
and violence has resulted in a 40 percent
increase in officers killed in the line of duty
over this past year,” Manheimer said yester-
day. “In each of these instances, our officers
were confronted with deadly force and
responded in kind to save their lives and pro-
tect the endangered community.”

County explores ways to cut 15 percent
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County officials yesterday began
wading through preliminary budgets
for departments include parks, plan-
ning and public works in hopes of
better figuring out how to lop off 15
percent from the bottom line.
The possible solutions could mean
at least one park completely closed,
less code compliance, building fee
hikes, moving the law library and
charging rent for buildings like the
historic courthouse and child-care
center.
The Board of Supervisors won’t
hold its week of recommended
budget hearings until June but, over
the next two days, its subcommittees
are hearing short presentations from
the departments on their respective
budget strategies. The committees
want to hear how each is prioritizing
its programs and services, the mini-
mum service levels allowed and
some preliminary ideas for reducing
its budget.
In the hot seat Tuesday before the
environmental quality subcommittee
were departments falling under the
designation “livable/environmental-
ly conscious community.” That
includes the agricultural commis-
sioner, parks, planning and building,
public works and capital projects,
real property and the county library.
Parks is not a mandated service
LOCAL
and has no minimum service levels
although Director Jim Porter point-
ed out they provide recreational and
learning opportunities. To cut
approximately $655,000 from its
general fund costs, the department
has already consolidated the direc-
tor position with Public Works
under Porter. Other savings will
come from closing one park entire-
ly or reducing hours at all of them.
Porter recommended impacting one
single park because, he said,
“frankly the department is at mini-
mum staffing ... there is simply not
enough rangers to get to all the
parks.”
As head of public works, Porter
suggested charging rent for facilities
that currently don’t and possibly
moving the law library into the Hall
of Justice across the street. When
pressed by Supervisor Don Horsley
about just where the library would
fit, Porter said he’d “find a place.”
If that happens, Redwood City
envisions the former library space as
land for a high-rise condominium
building, Porter said.
Planning and Building
Department head Jim Eggemeyer
also addressed doing more with less
and consideration of generating new
revenue through fee hikes. There
have been no increases for more
than five years, Eggemeyer said.
If that happens, Horsley said,
there had better not be a decrease in

County gives Human Services $3.7M Superintendent
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The $3.7 million given to the
Human Services Agency yesterday
by county supervisors means more
needy residents will receive timely
help with food, shelter and health
care, say officials of the department
who’ve been trying to manage grow-
ing caseloads with fewer available
dollars.
The agency, burdened by a $5.3
million structural deficit, asked the
Board of Supervisors for a mix of
one-time funds and ongoing help
while it closes the gap and waits for
expected state cuts. The board unan-
imously approved the request, of
which $817,000 will be continuous
to cover an increase in the general
assistance program.
The deficit’s remaining $1.6 mil-
lion will be eliminated by depart-
ment reductions.
Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, both
supervisors Carole Groom and
Adrienne Tissier called the fund
transfer tough but necessary to help
residents and stave off potentially
more expensive care down the road.
The county’s new wave of appli-
cants are individuals who may have
never needed help before, may be
clueless about
what help is
available and are
forced to make
decisions like
delaying preven-
tative health care.
“They’re wait-
ing for something
Carole Groom bad to happen.
Then they go to
the ER which we all know is more
expensive,” said Clarisa Simon
Soriano, HSA’s economic self-suffi-
ciency director.
Slowing the eligibility process
exacerbates the situation, she said.
Currently, HSA staff is able to
process 92 percent of its aid applica-
tions within 90 days but, without the
board’s funding yesterday, that could
slip to six to nine months, Soriano
said.
The needy would then be left in
limbo, waiting for eligibility and
relying on nonprofits and safety net
services which are already financial-
ly strapped themselves.
The current fiscal year’s deficit is
chalked up to the economic down-
turn, ongoing shortfalls in state, fed-
eral and local money needed for both
mandatory and discretionary pro-
grams and continuing hikes in the
LOCAL
cost of opera-
tions, programs
and manpower.
The mandatory
programs are the
primary chal-
lenge because the
county must fund
them, but it does-
Adrienne n’t often have the
Tissier needed money.
In November
2010 — four months later than usual
because of the state budget stalemate
— HSA received $2.9 million less in
its Medi-Cal allocation.
The pool of people needing help is
growing, too.
That same month, the county pro-
gram received more than 1,900
applications which in turn swelled
the caseloads for each benefits ana-
lyst beyond 600.
Over the past four years, assistance
applications have steadily risen by
approximately 65 percent. There are
currently 63,863 San Mateo County
adults and children in Medi-Cal and
the general assistance caseload has
nearly doubled since 2006, according
to HSA officials.
Meanwhile, officials said the HSA
workforce has shrunk from 858 to
770 in the last two years

interviewed Thursday for the South
San Francisco Unified School District
superintendent position.
On Thursday, the Board of Trustees
will interview two yet-to-be-identi-
fied candidates for the position vacat-
ed by Howard Cohen. While it’s
unclear if one of the two will be
appointed that night, Board President
Maurice Goodman intends to have at
least one decision that night.
“We’ll either finalize or go back to
the drawing board,” he said.
In February, the board voted to
interview pre-selected candidates
rather than a search firm to fill the
position. If the board does not want to
offer the job to either candidate,
Goodman said he will ask to start a
larger search.
Goodman would not name the two
candidates but said they “have or

Associate Superintendent Adolfo
Melara, who has taken over as acting
superintendent in Cohen’s absence, is
rumored to be one candidate. Melara
did not return a call for comment.
Another name being floated is
George Kozitza, who served as the
district’s superintendent from July
2000 through July 2003.
Trustee Phil Weise, who also
declined to name the candidates, was
not as concerned with how the new
superintendent is found as his or her
capabilities.
District voters passed a $162 mil-
lion bond measure Nov. 2 aimed at
replacing aging portables, putting
technology into classrooms and
installing solar panels which is esti-
mated to create an ongoing savings of

Government shutdown averted
House passes $4 billion in emergency federal cuts
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House passed
emergency short-term legislation Tuesday to
cut federal spending by $4 billion and avert a
government shutdown. Senate Democrats
agreed to follow suit, handing Republicans an
early victory in their drive to rein in govern-
ment.
The bill that cleared the House on a biparti-
san vote of 335-91 eliminates the threat of a
shutdown on March 4, when existing funding
authority expires. At the same time, it creates
a compressed two-week timeframe for the
White House and lawmakers to engage in
what looms as a highly contentious negotia-
tion on a follow-up bill to set spending levels
through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.
The Senate set a vote on the short-term
measure for Wednesday morning, the final step
before it goes to President Barack Obama for
his signature. “We’ll pass this and then look at
funding the government on a long-term basis,”
said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The White House, which earlier in the day
called publicly for an interim measure of up to
five weeks, stopped short of saying the presi-
dent would sign the legislation.
combative. Prosecutors said another hospital
employee heard the woman yell for Rogers to
stop hitting her and saw Rogers strike her in
he mouth “with a fist in a hammer-like
motion.” The woman’s lip was cut and bleed-
ing.
Rogers told her supervisor she was only
defending herself against the patient, accord-
ing to the District Attorney’s Office.
Rogers settled the case the morning of jury
trial.
She has been out of custody on her own
recognizance and has no credit for time served
against her sentence.
“Moving forward,the focus needs
to be on both sides finding common ground in
order to reach a long-term solution that removes the
kind of uncertainty that can hurt the economy and job creation.”
“The President is encouraged by the
progress Congress is making towards a short-
term agreement,” the president’s spokesman,
Jay Carney, said. “Moving forward, the focus
needs to be on both sides finding common
ground in order to reach a long-term solution
that removes the kind of uncertainty that can
hurt the economy and job creation.”
House Republicans were more eager to
draw attention to the bill that was passing with
the acquiescence of the White House and
Democrats than to the challenge yet ahead.
“Now that congressional Democrats and the
administration have expressed an openness for
spending cuts, the momentum is there for a
long-term measure that starts to finally get our
fiscal house in order,” said Majority Leader
Eric Cantor of Virginia.

The GOP won control of the House and
gained seats in the Senate last fall with the
backing of tea party activists demanding deep
cuts in spending and other steps to reduce the
federal government.
On the House floor, Democrats sharply
attacked Republicans in the run-up to the vote,
but much of their criticism was aimed at an
earlier $61 billion package of spending cuts
that had cleared on a party-line vote.
“The sooner we can agree on a long-term
package of smart cuts — not reckless, arbi-
trary, job-destroying cuts — the sooner we
can stop funding the government in disruptive
two-week increments that undermine efficien-

Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, second-rank-

Wisconsin gov.proposes cuts for schools
By Scott Bauer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — After focus-
ing for weeks on his proposal to
strip public employees of collective
bargaining rights, Gov. Scott Walker
on Tuesday presented his full budg-
et — a plan that cuts $1.5 billion in
aid to public schools, local govern-
ment and Medicaid but avoids any
tax or fee increases, furloughs or
widespread layoffs.
Walker said the cuts could be paid
for in large part by forcing govern-
ment employees to pay more for
their pension and health care bene-
fits. And the governor whose cost-
cutting ideas have stirred a national
debate over public-sector unions
gave no indication he would soften
his demand to reduce their power at
the negotiating table.
“This is a reform budget,” Walker

Protesters opposed to leader Moammar Gadhafi chant slogans around the tank of Libyan
army defectors in the city of Zawiyah,Libya.
Gadhafi forces retake
towns near Libyan capital
By Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s
forces battled poorly armed rebels Tuesday for
control of towns near the capital trying to cre-
ate a buffer zone around his seat of power. The
increasingly violent clashes threatened to
transform the 15-day popular rebellion in
Libya into a drawn-out civil war.
Amid the intensified fighting, the interna-
tional community stepped up moves to isolate
the longtime Libyan leader.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said
he ordered two ships into the Mediterranean,
including the amphibious assault ship USS
Kearsarge, and he is sending 400 Marines to
the vessel to replace some troops that left
recently for Afghanistan.
Military leaders weighing a no-fly zone over
Libya said it would be a complex task that
would require taking out Gadhafi’s air defens-
es, and Russia’s top diplomat dismissed the
idea as “superfluous” and said world powers
should focus on sanctions.
Gadhafi’s son, Seif al-Islam, warned
Western forces not to take military action
against Libya and said the country is prepared
to defend itself against foreign intervention.
“If they attack us, we are ready,” he told Sky
News, adding that the Gadhafis are ready to
implement reforms.
STATE/WORLD
REUTERS
Facing an unprecedented challenge to his
41-year rule, Gadhafi’s regime has launched
the bloodiest crackdown in a wave of uprising
against authoritarian rulers in the Middle East.
Gadhafi has already lost control of the eastern
half of the country but still holds Tripoli and
other nearby cities.
An exact death toll has been difficult to
obtain in the chaos, but a medical committee
in the eastern city of Benghazi, where the
uprising began on Feb. 15, said at least 228
people had been killed, including 30 unidenti-
fied bodies, and 1,932 wounded.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has
cited reports that perhaps 1,000 have died in
Libya.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
told Congress that the U.S. must lead an inter-
national response to the crisis, including
expanding already tough financial and travel
sanctions against Gadhafi, his family and con-
fidants and possibly imposing a no-fly zone
over Libya.
“In the years ahead, Libya could become a
peaceful democracy, or it could face protract-
ed civil war. The stakes are high,” she said.
Gadhafi’s regime has retaken at least two
towns and threatened a third, while rebels
repulsed attacks on three other key areas —
Misrata to the east, Zawiya to the west, and
the mountain town of Zintan to the south of
the capital.
State AG asks court to
lift gay marriage stay

SAN FRANCISCO — California’s attorney
general on Tuesday joined lawyers for two
same-sex couples and the city of San
Francisco in asking a federal appeals court to
allow gay marriages to resume while the court
considers the constitutionality of the state’s
voter-approved ban.
The latest offensive against Proposition 8

Palestinian militants said they fired a rocket-

that struck it down.
Keeping Proposition 8 in effect therefore is
a fruitless violation of gay Californians’ civil
rights, Harris said.
“The public interest weighs heavily against
the government sanctioning such discrimina-
tion by permitting it to continue,” she wrote.
The move also came as supporters of gay
marriage grow impatient with the slow pace of
court proceedings. The California Supreme
Court reiterated Tuesday that it would take at
least until the end of the year to consider a
legal question asked by the federal court as it
tries to resolve the appeal.
Gay marriages have remained on hold until
the 9th Circuit decides the appeal.

Belmont council should uphold Koret Field promise
By Tom Snider
T
he Belmont Community heard news
last week that was very frustrating.
On Thursday, Notre Dame de Namur
University rejected the Belmont City
Council’s revised Conditional Use Permit for
Koret Field, which was to no one’s surprise.
After two years of due process and com-
munity input from all sides of this issue, the
Belmont Planning Commission, city staff,
NDNU and the Belmont’s youth sports
groups developed and endorsed an amended
CUP for NDNU’s Koret Field that reflected a
fair compromise for all involved parties and
would have benefited over 1,000 Belmont
youth — an opportunity to play on an all-
weather field, every year, at no financial cost
to Belmont.
However, a small minority of neighbors

NEW YORK — Stocks suffered steep
losses as oil prices surged on Tuesday,
renewing worries that higher fuel prices
could hobble the economic recovery.
Oil rose $2.66 to settle at $99.63 a bar-
rel amid unrest in Iran and Libya. Iran
clamped down on anti-government pro-
testers and forces loyal to Libya’s leader
Moammar Gadhafi launched counter-
attacks against rebels expanding control
over the country.
Prices jumped 13 percent last week
with a rise in turmoil across North Africa
and the Middle East. That pushed gas
prices up 20 cents per gallon. As a result,
Americans are now paying roughly $75
million more per day to fill their gas
tanks than a week ago.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke told the Senate Banking
Committee that a sustained increase in
crude prices could pose a risk to the
recovery. But he predicted only a tempo-
rary increase in inflation, not runaway
prices. The Fed chief also said he
expected the economy to grow this year,
although not enough to lower the 9 per-
cent unemployment rate.

DETROIT — As more U.S. buyers

automakers are jostling for their atten-

The major automakers knocked a little
extra off sticker prices in February, giv-

news for buyers is that discounts are
likely to continue into the spring, as
older models like the Toyota Corolla and

models like the Ford Focus and Hyundai
Elantra.

Tigers into CCS finals
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The last time the Notre Dame-
Belmont girls’ basketball team
advanced to the Central Coast
Section championship game, many
of the players on this season’s squad
were only a couple of years into
school.
That was 1999 and if the 2010-11
version of the Tigers want to dupli-
cate that 1998-99 CCS champi-
onship team, they’ll have to beat
Scotts Valley Friday afternoon in the
finals. The second-seeded Tigers
advanced to the finals by knocking
off No. 3 Soquel 45-37 in the
Division IV semifinals Tuesday
night in Belmont.
“A typical Notre Dame basketball
game,” said Notre Dame coach Josh
Davenport. “Grind it out, make it
tough for the other team.
“Sometimes, it’s tough on us as
well.”
Notre Dame (13-14 overall) did-
n’t shoot the ball particularly well
from either the field (just 37 per-
cent) or the free-throw line (9 for
19), but the Tigers made up for it
with suffocating defense and better
second-half rebounding.
Soquel (20-8) out-rebounded the
Tigers 14-7 in the first half, but
Notre Dame did a much better job in
the second half, as the deficit was
just one — 14-13.
“In the first half … we gave up a
ton of offensive rebounds,”
Davenport said, attributing the dis-
crepancy to the fact the Tigers sel-
dom play a zone defense. They
switched to a man-to-man defense
in the second half and held their
own on the boards.
The Tigers also did a better job
than the Knights in taking care of
the ball. Notre Dame committed
only six turnovers, compared to 16
for Soquel.
Defensively, Notre Dame held the
Knights to just 13 first-half points
and just three in the second quarter.
Soquel was held scoreless in the
second quarter until the final minute
when Ragine Graves, who scored a

Bonds’ trial taking shape Sharks down Avalanche
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds’ for-
mer personal trainer is facing prison and a
judge admitted a trove of evidence while the
admissibility of still more hangs in the bal-
ance after a pivotal hearing in federal court
Tuesday, three weeks before the slugger’s trial
is scheduled to start.
Bonds also renewed his not guilty plea,
which was made necessary when prosecutors
revised the charges for the third time since the
initial indictment was unsealed in November
2007. Bonds is charged with four counts of
making false statements to a grand jury and
one count of obstruction of justice. There was
little doubt what Bonds’ plea was going to be
Tuesday and that the case was going to trial
March 21 after Bonds’ legal team and prose-
cutors last month told U.S. District Judge
Susan Illston that there was little chance of a
plea agreement.
Likewise, there was no doubt that Bonds’
former personal trainer,
Greg Anderson, would tell
the judge Tuesday that he
has no intention of taking
the stand as a government
witness during the trial.
Anderson made a similar
pledge in 2009 before
Bonds’ trial was put on
Barry Bonds hold until a government
appeal was resolved in
Bonds’ favor.
Anderson has previously spent more than a
year in prison on contempt charges after
refusing to testify before the grand jury inves-
tigating Bonds.
The judge said that prosecutors and Bonds’
legal team both want Anderson to testify. She
said his testimony would spare his former
clients, including several retired major league
players, from being called to the witness stand
to discuss how he supplied them with steroids.

SAN JOSE — Antti Niemi was perfect in
the shootout just hours after getting a contract
extension, and Ryane Clowe scored in the first

Joe Thornton tied it with 2:58 remaining in

Menlo tops
Burlingame
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It’s not often two reigning Central Coast Section
champions face off in a non-league contest the fol-
lowing season. But that was case when defending
Division II baseball champs Burlingame took on
defending Division III title holder Menlo School in
a Tim Kuehnert Memorial tournament in Atherton
Tuesday afternoon.
While it remains to be seen if either squad can
defend its CCS title, there is no doubt they are two
of the premiere programs in the section. So it was
no surprise that both teams appeared to be in mid-
season form. After four innings of scoreless ball,
Menlo finally broke through with a three-run fifth
and went on to beat the Panthers 3-0.
Menlo (3-0 overall) didn’t exactly bang the ball
all over the place. In fact, the Knights were held
hitless over the first four. In their three-run fifth,
they managed only two hits — taking advantage
of two walks and a balk in the inning to score their
runs.
Those were the only hits of the game for the
Knights.
“I don’t want to badmouth a win,” said Menlo
manager Craig Schoof. “We pitched better
(today).”
Menlo starter Jake Batchelder, a junior in his
third varsity season, showed the stuff that makes
him one of the best pitchers in San Mateo County.
The lanky lefthander worked into the seventh
inning, allowing just three hits. He walked three
but struck out nine. Using a sneaky fastball and
mixing in effective breaking pitches, Batchelder
kept the Panthers off balance all game long.
“Their pitcher did a great job,” said
Burlingame’s first-year manager Shawn Scott.
“He just threw strikes and worked both sides of the
plate.”
Burlingame starter Austin Vasquez may not
have the accolades Batchelder has, but he was just
as effective. After a wobbly first inning, Vasquez
settled down and worked into the fourth inning,
allowing no hits, although he did walk four.
“He did a good job,” Scott said. “It was a tough
first inning, but after that, he battled.”
Scott said Vasquez could have gone longer, but
given how early it is in the season, he was on a
pitch count.
Both pitchers struggled in the first inning.
Batchelder retired the first two batters of the inning
before hanging a breaking ball to Chris Blanton,
who stroked it into right field for a single. Saamy
Phan followed with a walk but Batchelder got
Nick Waldsmith to hit a line-drive out to center, the

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tim Lincecum
made up for his shaky first start.
He pitched three hitless innings for San
Francisco in his second spring training outing
start before Aramis Ramirez hit a tiebreaking,
two-run double in a three-run sixth that led the
Chicago Cubs over the Giants 3-2 Tuesday.
Lincecum struck out
two and allowed only one
runner to reach: Starlin
Castro on an error by
shortstop Miguel Tejada.
“My location was better
and I was mixing my
pitches back in and out,”
Lincecum said. “I didn’t
Tim Lincecum throw too many off-speed
pitches. My rhythm felt
quick the first two innings, and then I was able
to calm it down in the third.”
Lincecum gave up three runs and five hits in
1 2-3 innings in his first start, against Arizona.
He’s looking forward to having a full spring
to work with catcher Buster Posey after veter-
an Bengie Molina yielded to Posey last year.
“Since he came up in the middle of last sea-
son all the way until now, I have felt comfort-
able with him,” Lincecum said. “I feel as com-
fortable with him now as I was with Bengie.”
Cubs starter Ryan Dempster gave up one
run, two hits and a walk in three innings, strik-
ing out three.
SPORTS
Pablo Sandoval had a second-inning, oppo-
site-field RBI double to left, then doubled off
the batter’s eye 430 feet away in center in the
fourth. Sandoval has five RBIs and eight hits
thus far, including two doubles and two home
runs.
Chicago won for the first time in three
spring training games this year.
Cubs right-hander Ryan Dempster started
and gave up a run on two hits, walked one and
struck out three in three innings. Chicago
Right-hander Todd Wellemeyer, the Giants’
fifth starter a year ago and now is in his sec-
ond tour of duty with the Cubs, gave up one
hit in two innings and struck out two and got
the win.
The Giants got within a run in the eighth on
a single by Thomas Neal, and had a chance to
tie it in the ninth before Esmalin Caridad got
the save.
With two outs and the tying run at third,
Brandon Belt pulled a line drive that right
fielder Jim Adduci caught at the last moment
with the sun in his eyes.
NOTES: Giants CF Andres Torres missed
his second straight game with a strained mus-
cle on his left side. Time for his return is
uncertain ... Sandoval is now 6 for 13 with two
home runs, two doubles and five RBIs. ...
Cubs CF Marlon Byrd had two hits and an
RBI and is 4 for 6 to start the spring ... Cubs

PHOENIX — Dallas Braden is never one to
be bashful: The Oakland lefty is certain the Year
of the Pitcher can carry on through 2011 and
beyond.
And he’s not the only one.
From a pair of perfect games only 20 days
apart to four other no-hitters and one gem that
should have been, all the spectacular perform-
ances in the Year of the Pitcher last season hard-
ly could have been expected.
Can baseball fans possibly expect to witness
yet another season of extraordinary outings from
pitchers across the league? Oh yes, say many
players and managers. Make it years, plural, if
you ask Braden.
“I think it’s the era of the pitcher,” said
Braden, who threw one of the two perfect games
with a Mother’s Day masterpiece against the
Rays on May 9. “The era of the asterisk is
beyond us. Now, the playing field is equal on
both sides. It’s a lot more about talent than it is
about raw tools anymore.”
With steroids and performance-enhancing
drugs no longer in the forefront, Braden insists
pitchers can take the mound without the worry
of juiced-up sluggers stepping into the batter’s
box.
Dusty Baker notices a difference.
“There was a while during expansion when
they were saying it was diluted, and then — I
don’t know if there was a conscientious effort by
parents or whatever it was — it seemed like
everybody started pitching,” the Cincinnati man-
ager said. “And now there’s good pitching in
quite a few places. Plus, in the post-steroid era
here, it’s gone back to pitching and speed and
defense and fundamental play.”
Phillies ace Roy Halladay pitched a perfect
game May 29 at Florida only 20 days after
Braden did so, then threw a no-no against
Baker’s Reds in the first round of the playoffs.
And Armando Galarraga, now with Arizona,
would have tossed a perfect game for the Tigers
against Cleveland last June had umpire Jim
Joyce not blown a call at first base.
Braden’s perfecto was the first for his fran-
chise since Hall of Famer Catfish Hunter threw
one for the Athletics in 1968, the last “Year of
the Pitcher.” There were five individual no-hit-
ters that season, when the Cardinals’ Bob
Gibson led the majors with a 1.12 ERA,
Detroit’s Denny McLain became a 31-game
winner, and Don Drysdale threw six straight
shutouts for the Dodgers.
These days, many relievers throw heat.
“I remember saying throughout the season,
’Where is the guy who throws 87 with a sinker
who used to come out of the pen?’ Even long
guys are throwing 97,” Colorado Rockies star
Todd Helton said.
“The game’s kind of gone back to the way it
was in the ’80s — pitching and defense,” new
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers
said. “Teams now are focusing more on their
bullpen and the importance of a bullpen in hav-
ing a successful franchise. To me, you can’t win
without (pitching). It’s paramount. If you don’t
have it you’re going to have a very difficult
time.”
After that spectacular ’68 season by pitchers,
Major League Baseball’s Rules Committee low-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
ered the mound from 15 inches to 10 inches and
shrunk the strike zone to its pre-1963 level —
from the batter’s armpits to the top of his knees.
And pitchers followed that up with a strong
showing in the expansion season of 1969 as
well. There were six more no-nos that year.
Could that be a telling sign? Do the pitchers
have a true advantage again in the days minus
the monster power hitters such as home run king
Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, all
of whom cleared the fences at a remarkable rate?
“The Year of the Pitcher will continue,” said
A’s manager Bob Geren, whose talented young
staff led the AL in ERA last season at 3.56 and
in shutouts with 17 while holding opponents to a
.245 batting average. “The pitching seems to
keep getting better, not worse.
“Some of the veteran guys, Roy Halladay and
guys like that, they haven’t shown any signs of
letting up. And the younger guys like ours are
going to keep getting better.”
Braden went 0-5 in nine starts and dealt with
an elbow injury after his perfect game before
finally winning again July 25. He isn’t ready to
predict a repeat performance of his improbable
perfect game.
But start drafting those arms anyway, fantasy
gurus.
With former AL Cy Young Award winner
Zack Greinke moving to the NL with
Milwaukee, improvements in “Tommy John”
reconstructive elbow surgery helping pitchers
like Francisco Liriano, Josh Johnson and Tim
Hudson come back better than ever, and all those
aces in Philly, it’s a tough time to be a hitter for
a living.
“I don’t see why not,” Helton said of another
season of dominant pitching. “All the pitchers
we’re referring to, most of them haven’t even hit
their prime yet.”
Like Helton’s teammate, Ubaldo Jimenez.
The 27-year-old Jimenez threw a no-hitter in
his third start last season and was 15-1 by the
All-Star break. He wound up at 19-8, just miss-
ing becoming the first 20-game winner in the
Rockies’ 18-year history.
“I think we’re going to have a lot of Year of the
Pitchers,” Jimenez said. “As the years go by, I
think we’re going to get better every year. It
seems like everything is working. There are bet-
ter pitchers.”
Two-time NL Cy Young winner Tim
Lincecum agrees.
He sees pitchers accomplishing so much at a
younger age because they are doing more to
prepare early. He, for one, has worked harder on
his conditioning regimen between starts after a
career-worst five-start losing streak last August
— a rare funk by The Freak.
The 26-year-old Lincecum broke into the
majors in May 2007, less than a year after the
Giants picked him 10th overall in the amateur
draft out of Washington. He won 18 games and
the first of his Cy Youngs a year later in his first
full big league season. He’s been an All-Star
each of the past three years, too.
“Pitchers are evolving a little bit more.
They’ve got four pitches they can throw for
strikes nowadays and they’re coming up
younger and learning more quickly,” said the
San Francisco ace, already picked the opening
day starter for the reigning World Series cham-
pions.

Warriors skid hits four in loss to Pacers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers
needed a win, so Danny Granger couldn’t
afford to miss a free throw.
Granger scored 27 points, going 16 for 16
from the line, and it was his clutch foul shoot-
ing early and late helped Indiana hold off the
Golden State Warriors, 109-100, on Tuesday
night.
“Granger did what a good player does,”
Warriors coach Keith Smart said.
What that meant Tuesday was making all

Pacers snapped a two-game home losing
streak.

way to another huge game for the Tigers
before she got into foul trouble. Before that,
however, she was nearly unstoppable. She did
finish with a team-high 15 points and, while
effective in the post, she was surprising away
from the basket. With two and sometimes
three defenders sagging on her in the post,
Morris stepped outside and consistently
knocked down mid-range jumpers.
“It’s very helpful to have a post player shoot
a 15 footer,” Davenport said.
Morris scored 10 of her 15 points in the first

Reggie Williams had 25 points off the
bench for Golden State, which rallied from a
double-digit, first-half deficit to lead by nine
points late in the second quarter before falter-

Vogel called it a “great win for our team.”
“That’s a win that falls in line with the iden-
tity we want for this team,” Vogel said. “Our
tempo was great in and carried us in the fourth
quarter.”
George scored 10 points in the first 6:05 of
the fourth quarter. He scored six points on
three consecutive fast-break situations in the
period.

Both teams killed off a penalty in the second
half of the period, with Elliott making the
toughest saves on a point shot by Pavelski fol-
lowed by the rebound by Demers.
There were only a few more chances in the
second period but still no goals. Devin
Setoguchi was robbed alone in close by Elliott
early in the period. Niemi made a tough slid-
ing stop against Kevin Porter, who was all
alone at the side of the goal midway through
the second.

over the Knights, holding a 21-13 lead at half-
time.
The Tigers continued to extend their lead in
the third quarter. Notre Dame had its biggest
lead of the game, 33-20, when Gianna Bertana
banked home a 3-pointer as the shot clock

The Pacers took control by shooting 13 of

Stephen Curry had 20 points, six rebounds

Ray: Small steps for child nutrition
By J.M. Hirsch
and Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Though
she lobbied Congress last year to
boost the reimbursement rate for
school lunches, food celebrity
Rachael Ray said Saturday that
improving school nutrition can best
be tackled closer to home, in small
steps without stepping on toes.
“As long as you don’t insult
someone and start with a conversa-
tion instead of a lecture, it’s really
easy to find people who are willing
to make small changes,” she said.
“Finger wagging turns everyone
off.”
Ray, whose Yum-o! charity teach-

By J.M. Hirsch

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — British
celebrity chef Jamie Oliver called
Sarah Palin a “Froot Loop” for crit-
icizing the Obama administration’s
healthy eating initiatives, and said
getting healthy foods to kids is a
civil rights issue.
The U.S. is in a “really dark
moment” when it comes to chil-
dren’s health and needs to make it a
priority, said Oliver, who tried to

and Food Festival. While she
applauds the recently announced
plan by the Agriculture Department
to implement the first major nutri-
tional overhaul of students’ meals in
15 years, Ray said parents and oth-
ers shouldn’t sit back.
Under the guidelines announced
last month, school cafeterias would
be required to cut the sodium in
subsidized lunches by more than
half, use more whole grains and
serve low-fat milk. But those
changes could take years to imple-
ment, and in the meantime, schools

Improving
what children eat at school alone
can have a far-reaching, positive
effect on their habits and health as
adults, Oliver said Saturday during
an Associated Press interview at the

“As long as you don’t insult
can find other ways to encourage
healthy eating, such as having stu-
dents plant gardens or offering
healthier options in vending
machines, Ray said.
“You don’t have to wait for them
to make a law, you can make
changes in your own school by just
going in there and telling them you
care,” she said.
Seven months after Ray’s trip to
Washington last spring, President
Barack Obama signed a bill in
December expanding access to free
lunch programs and increasing the
South Beach Wine and Food

He said he doesn’t have much
faith that government will lead the
way, but said the Obama adminis-
tration is on the right track.
Palin, in contrast, “clearly on this
issue is a Froot Loop,” he said.
The president recently signed a
bill that increases the federal reim-
bursement for free school lunches
and expands the government’s
nutrition requirements for the free
and reduced meals it subsidizes to
cover all foods sold during school
hours.

federal reimbursement for free
school lunches by 6 cents a meal.
Ray said she was pleasantly sur-
prised that members of Congress
listened to her pitch, but she was
struck by the shortsightedness of
some who couldn’t see that the
obese children of today will be gen-
erating costly medical bills years
into the future.
“They can’t see that debt yet, so
they’re not going to do anything
about it, it doesn’t exist,” she said.
“It’s really childish, ironically.”
She said she doesn’t understand
Some school groups argue it will
be hard for already-stretched
schools to pay for the new require-
ments, and Palin and other conser-
vatives have argued that telling chil-
dren what to eat is a case of govern-
ment meddling, and that parents
should decide what their children
eat.
But Oliver, who launched his
career in England as “The Naked
Chef,” countered that he’s heard
from pediatricians and dentists who
feel some parents are edging toward
child abuse by not feeding them
healthy food. And he argued that the

“How could you criticize the idea
of children playing in the sunshine
and eating healthy food?” she said.
“I don’t know any one person in my
broad or tight circle that agrees with
any of that.”
Though she grew up eating a
healthy, Mediterranean-style diet,
Ray said she was a latecomer to
exercise, and didn’t start running
until she turned 40.
“When I started running, I felt
like I wasted 20 years of my adult

“From my view of the health situ-

But, he predicted that once a
majority of the public takes to his
ideas, things will change quickly.
“Americans, when you get them

panies, Love said authentic local food will
grow in appeal because it ties people to their
communities.
“It’s something to be proud of,” said Love,
who also said unlike “artisanal,” the notion of
local or authentic has greater staying power.

because it is often healthier and cheaper.
New Orleans chef John Besh, who joined
Love for the first in a series of Associated

high-quality ingredients eventually will

credits success to
‘glocal’approach
By J.M. Hirsch and Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — For world-
renowned chef Alain Ducasse, preserving the
flavor his ingredients goes hand in hand with
preserving the flavor of the
cities that make each of his
restaurants distinct.
“I concentrate in my
work on preserving and
displaying the original fla-
vor from each ingredient in
a dish,” he said shortly
before a tribute dinner in
Alain Ducasse his honor Saturday at the
10th anniversary of the
South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
Ducasse said that while he brings the same
passion and commitment to quality and sus-
tainability to his restaurants around the globe,
each property has a distinct, local personality.
It’s was he calls a “glocal” approach to food.
“The restaurants express the spirit of the chef,
the spirit of the city, the country,” said Ducasse,
who was the first celebrity chef to sign on to the
Miami Beach festival 10 years ago.
Ducasse, the first chef to earn three
Michelin stars in three different cities, has 27
restaurants in eight countries. He said the stars
are “good for my ego” but are not what moti-
vates him.
“I have an obsession for quality,” he said. “I
work for my guests, not to obtain Michelin

Ted Allen: Food fights COUNTY
shouldn’t be political
By J.M. Hirsch and Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Ted Allen wants to keep politics
out of the kitchen.
Allen, host of the Food Network’s “Chopped,” said Friday
he was astounded that some political conservatives have criti-
cized first lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to
encourage healthy eating and exercise by
children.
“You’re going to fault the first lady for
encouraging healthier children, are you
kidding me?” he said during the third in a
series of Associated Press interviews at the
South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
“She’s not up there wearing Halston
redecorating the White House,” Allen said.
Ted Allen
“She’s wearing H&M and she’s encourag-
ing children to eat better and exercise. And
that’s elitist?”
Allen said it’s easy to cast him and other food celebrities as
snobs “who are eating foie gras, torturing ducks and then
telling people they can’t go to McDonald’s,” he said. “That’s
not the case. ... We’re not talking about this because we’re left-
wing snobs. We’re talking about this because we love food, we
love our kids and we think this is a better way to live.”
Allen was joined by chef Nate Appleman for a broad dis-
cussion about America’s sometimes fractured food culture.
Both men acknowledged the growing divide between foodies
focused on local, organic fare and fast-food fans, but said turn-
ing it into a political issue benefits no one.
“It turns something that’s so essential to everyone — food
— into something it doesn’t need to be,” said Appleman, for-
merly of San Francisco’s A16 restaurant and now of fast food
chain Chipotle Mexican Grill. “It’s like the difference between
regular jeans and designer jeans. They’re still denim at the end
of the day.”
Appleman said the chain of 1,000 restaurants shows that it’s
possible to deliver convenient, low-cost, high-quality food.
“That’s going to be the deciding factor,” he said. “You can’t
argue with flavor.”
The chain uses local and organic ingredients when practical
and meat from animals raised without antibiotics or added
hormones.

Mateo County’s annual budget is
approximately $1.8 billion and
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson, chair of
the legislative committee, said there is
no room to absorb the extra responsibil-
ities and staff needed to manage the
realigned programs unless the state also
sends money.
A critical example for local officials is
a proposal to send more than 30,000
nonviolent offenders from state prisons
back to counties for housing in jails or
supervision by probation departments.
On Monday, Brown revised his pro-
posal to keep more inmates in state facil-
ities and shift less law enforcement
responsibilities to counties. For exam-
ple, rather than do away with the
Criminal Division of Juvenile Justice
and shipping juvenile offenders back
home, they will remain in state custody.
In return, though, counties would get
less money for other programs like vic-

leadership will be the first step.
Trustee Shirlee Hoch agreed.
Hoch noted the district recently
searched for a superintendent in 2009
and still has the lists of preferred skill
sets to use during the selection process.
While it would be nice to save the cost of
a larger search, Hoch simply wants to

Counties, however, would get more
funding than initially proposed for hous-
ing inmates beyond three years.
Sheriff Greg Munks said he was happy
with the amendments that will drop the
number of prisoners transferred from
approximately 40 to 33. However, the
state will only pay one-third of the daily
rate for inmates, leaving the county to
make up the difference, he said.
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco, said in her discussions with
the receiver over state prison overcrowd-
ing, that one possibility raised was the
shutting of those doors to new inmates.
The result will be extra pressure on jails,
like the overcrowded facilities in San
Mateo County.
One bright spot may be changes to
Assembly Bill 900, legislation which
offers counties money to build new jails.
The county previously turned down up
to $100 million because it came with the
caveat of housing state inmates. The bill
may now be tweaked to remove some of
those strings and San Mateo County,
which plans to build a new jail in
Redwood City, might benefit.

remains on administrative leave and retains

resignation takes effect on June 30. Under

Showing off the savory side of blueberries
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sometimes the wintertime blues can
be just what the doctor ordered, espe-
cially if they’re the kind that grow on
bushes.
Besides being a delicious addition to
your diet, blueberries have been linked
to numerous health benefits. And the
good news is that it doesn’t seem to mat-
ter whether you consume fresh, frozen
or even dried blueberries.
Of course, it’s easiest to eat blueber-
ries out of hand or sprinkled over yogurt
or cereal (just 40 calories per half cup
serving), but they also make an excellent
addition to cooked dishes, and not just
the usual desserts and bake goods.
Blueberries can have a savory side, too.
Consider adding fresh or dried blue-
berries to your stuffing next time you
roast a chicken or turkey. They even
make a surprising addition to a meatloaf
or burger, especially when blended with
savory ingredients such as onions and
Dijon mustard
For this recipe, blueberries are
cooked down with chopped onion,
minced fresh ginger and white bal-
samic vinegar to make a sweet and
tangy ketchup to accompany lean pork
tenderloin. But the ketchup would go
just as well on top of a burger.
The technique for cooking the pork
calls for dredging the medallions in sea-
soned Wondra flour because it creates a
beautiful golden crust. But in a pinch,
you can always use regular all-purpose
flour instead.
PORK MEDALLIONS WITH
BLUEBERRY-BALSAMIC KETCHUP
This recipe makes more blueberry-
balsamic ketchup than you will need.
Don’t worry, it’s delicious on just about
any red meat, including in place of clas-
sic ketchup on burgers.
Start to finish: 50 minutes (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
For the ketchup:
2 1/2 cups blueberries
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the pork:
1/4 cup Wondra flour
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
To make the blueberry-balsamic
FOOD
ketchup, in a medium saucepan over
medium-high, combine the blueberries,
brown sugar, onion, vinegar, ginger and
salt. Heat, stirringconstantly, until the
sugar has dissolved. Adjust the heat so
the blueberry mixture is vigorously sim-
mering and cook, stirring occasionally,
until the blueberries have popped and
the ketchup has thickened slightly, 20 to
25 minutes (the ketchup will thicken
more as it cools). Remove from heat and
set aside.
To make the pork, in a shallow wide,
shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk togeth-
er flour, thyme, pepper and salt. Slice the
pork tenderloin on the diagonal into 1-
inch thick medallions.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over
medium-high, heat the oil.
Working in batches, dredge the pork
medallions through the flour mixture
then place them in the hot skillet. Cook
the pork until golden-brown and no
longer pink at the center, 4 to 6 minutes
per side. Serve the pork medallions
immediately, topped with the blueberry-
balsamic ketchup.

DiSpirito: Ditch the
calories,keep the sin
By J.M. Hirsch and Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito
wants to turn a collection of healthy recipes into a lifestyle, and
he wants people to feel bad about it.
The key to transforming comfort food into healthy fare is cut-
ting calories while retaining the “sinful”
feeling that comes from eating rich foods, he
said Saturday in an Associated Press inter-
view at the South Beach Wine and Food
Festival.
“Fried chicken needs to feel bad. You need
to crunch through that outer coating, you
need to feel like you’re committing a sin,” he
said, describing a recipe that involves poach-
ing chicken until it’s almost cooked, then
flash frying it so that it absorbs just a tenth Rocco DiSpirito
of the oil of the conventional approach.
His new cookbook, “Now Eat This! Diet” is a follow-up to his
best-selling “Now Eat This!” cookbook. The new book com-
bines a diet plan and recipes with shopping lists, menus and
exercise advice, and though it joins countless other diet books on
store shelves, DiSpirito said his offers a new approach.
“I think the professional chef who has a particular focus on
flavor has been missing” from the diet book industry, he said.
DiSpirito, who rose to fame at his Union Pacific restaurant in
New York and later starred in the reality show, “The Restaurant,”
said he thinks Americans increasingly are turning to celebrity
chefs for guidance in eating healthier. Healthy cooking is not
just for the dietitians of the world, he said.
“We’re the gateway to information on entertaining, cooking,
food and wine, living large,” he said. “We represent a lot of
things to a lot of Americans. Now, we’re becoming a resource
for healthy eating. We all got old, some of us got healthy.”
But DiSpirito also looks to his fans for help with his books,
using Facebook and Twitter to gather ideas. What started as
throwing out a request because he didn’t know what else to post
turned into a valuable way to gain insight into his audience, he
said.
“I just wanted my book to one, have the most accurate infor-
mation, and two, America’s real preferences for the comfort
food I was going to transform from the bad boys of food to real
healthy food,” he said. “The main message was, ’We love our
comfort food and we want it to be healthy ... but we would still
eat it if it wasn’t healthy.”’

districts will have more money. Without
it, school districts are bracing for major
losses that would require the termination
of positions.
Don Dawson, a San Jose high school
teacher who serves on the California
Teachers Association Board of
Directors, noted the gap between how
much money school districts will have
should the ballot initiative pass or not
pass — $12 billion — is the largest
budget divide seen in recent years.
As a result, Dawson is seeing employ-
ees discouraged and worried about the
financial shortfalls and their employ-
ment future while also being blamed for
problems.
Tax extensions have yet to be placed
on the June ballot, a move that must be
done by March 10. Many school districts
have passed resolutions supporting
placement of the measures on the ballot.
Phil Weise, trustee for the South San
Francisco Unified School District, said
his district anticipates only sending out
layoff notices to temporary employees.
However, Weise said many children
throughout the state will be negatively
affected without the tax extensions.
In the Bay Area, an estimated 1,200
teachers will receive a preliminary
notice later this month, according to the
California Teachers Association.
Statewide, more than 13,000 should
receive notices, a number that will grow
as it only includes numbers from 126 of

injured and dozens of homes destroyed.
Investigators pointed to a 1999
Transportation Department study that
warned that there is a significant safety
risk as long as gas was being supplied to
the rupture site and operators lacked the
ability to quickly close manual valves.
“Any fire would have greater intensity
and would have greater potential for
damaging surrounding infrastructure if it
is constantly replenished with gas,” the
government study said. “The degree of
disruption in heavily populated and com-
mercial areas would be in direct propor-
tion to the duration of the fire.”
Coroner’s reports indicate at least five
of the people killed in San Bruno were
trying to flee when they died.
Keith Slibasager, PG&E’s manager of
gas system operations, said it took con-
trol room employees about 15 minutes
following the explosion to figure out
what had happened and would have
taken about another 15 minutes to shut
off the gas using automatic or remotely
controlled valves. That’s an hour less
than it took in San Bruno.
Instead, about 12 minutes after the
explosion, PG&E’s dispatch center sent
an off-duty employee to investigate the
reported explosion, but he wasn’t quali-
fied to operate the manual valves needed
to shut off gas feeding a huge fire that
consumed homes, the safety board inves-
tigator Ravi Chhatre said.

At this point, the district is consider-

Rosas, assistant superintendent of
human resources.
Tonight, the Sequoia Union High
School District Board of Trustees will
discuss the possibility of cutting $4.5
million from next year’s budget. Part of
that will include sending notices to 43.4
FTEs, said district spokeswoman
Bettylu Smith. The district currently
employs 499 certificated FTEs. The
adult school will give notice to an addi-
tional 55 temporary certificated staff
members, she added.
“Although we will be noticing a num-
ber of temporary certificated employees,
we will not need to release them all if the
special election is held in June and vot-
ers approve the tax extensions,” Smith
said.
On Monday night, the Millbrae
Elementary School District discussed
cutting eight FTEs — five elementary
teachers, two middle school teachers, .5
FTE of a counselor position and .5 FTE
of a middle school principal position.
Last year’s cuts, Superintendent Linda
Luna said, were 3.75 FTEs.
The corner of Glenview and Claremont drives in San Bruno near where a 30-inch
gas line exploded Sept.9.
It took 30 minutes after the rupture for
the company to dispatch a crew capable
of isolating the pipeline and 90 minutes
for them to crank the valves shut, stop-
ping all gas, he said. PG&E officials
acknowledged that after Lee’s memo
they made no effort to further explore the
valves. They said that since the disaster,
the company has begun a pilot project to
install a dozen of the valves this year and
study their effectiveness.
PG&E “is committed to expanding the
use of these valves where appropriate
and is working with industry experts to
study the best use of those valves,” the
company said in a statement distributed
during the hearing.
But Slibasager said there are potential
safety drawbacks to the valves. When
closed, they could cause widespread gas
outages in the region that would put out
pilot lights in homes and other buildings,
he said. That poses the risk that when gas
Forrest Hettinger, 87, said he couldn’t
believe the food was being served for
only $4.
“You know my mom used to say
‘don’t worry what people call you as
long as they call you for supper,’”
Hettinger said.
The center also had a pianist playing
during lunch.
For Guluzzy, serving hot meals to sen-
iors is essential to the health of the com-
munity, especially considering it is aging
rapidly.
In fact, San Mateo County has the
fastest growing aging population in the
state and Belmont has the fastest grow-
ing aging population in the county,
Galuzzy said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
“We’re already cut pretty thin,” said
Luna, The cuts are Plan B, said Luna.
If California’s budget is passed as
originally presented by Brown, districts
are looking at a loss of about $19 per
student. Without the passage of the June
tax rate, districts are expecting to lose
$330 to $1,000 per student depending on
estimates by various school officials. For
Millbrae that could mean $700,000 to
$1.1 million.
Part of the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District’s Plan B
includes laying off nine full-time equiv-
alent teacher positions, according to a
staff report written by Superintendent
Emerita Orta-Camilleri.
As of December, the district employed
154.92 full-time equivalent teaching
positions, according to the first interim
report by Nellie Hungerford, assistant
superintendent of business services and
operations.
“We’re definitely hoping not to let go
of any of our teachers,” Kristin Mack,
Belmont-Redwood Shores Faculty
Association president said previously.
The Burlingame Elementary School
District, on the other hand, is in a rela-
tively unique position. While a number
of preliminary employees to get notices
is a moving target, the district may end
up needing to hire employees, said Chief
Business Official Robert Clark.
Expected enrollment increases could
make Burlingame one of the few dis-
tricts looking to possibly increase the
number of employees.
Clark, who himself was given layoff
notices as a beginning teacher, is hoping
to not send out notices that would later
be rescinded.
ANDREW SCHEINER/DAILY JOURNAL
is turned back on, it could build up in
buildings in which pilot lights are not
relit right away, he said.
A month after the San Bruno explo-
sion, PG&E wrote California regulators
that are about 300 manual valves over the
company’s 565 miles of pipeline. The
company estimated the cost of replacing
or retrofitting them with automatic or
remote valves at $100,000 to $1.5 mil-
lion per valve, depending on how diffi-
cult the valve installation is.
Lee’s memo was at odds with a 1996
report by another PG&E employee, Bob
Becken, who was assigned to study the
effectiveness of remote-control valves.
In a memo released by the NTSB,
Becken said he had “no concerns” about
installing remote-control valves. “There
are existing places within PG&E’s gas
transmission system where we should
consider installing them in the future,” he
wrote.
It is about keeping seniors healthy and
happy, Galuzzy said.
“Without socialization, seniors can
suffer depression which leads to other
health problems which can be more cost-
ly on society in the end,” Galuzzy said.
“This helps to create a sense of commu-
nity.”
The hot lunch program is funded
through the reauthorization of the feder-
al Older Americans Act. The money
comes to the county, which then sup-
ports the programs throughout the coun-
ty.
Hot lunches will be served at Twin
Pines on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Fridays. For more information call 637-
2976.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Those wonderful intui-
tive perceptions of yours could prove to be a valuable
asset. You may size things up quite well, but your
instinct will take the prize in accuracy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Be as open-minded
as possible, especially when dealing with friends. If
you display any indication of being biased against
something or someone they like, you could lose their

if you make it your top priority and stick with it. Once
you make that decision, stay the course.

catch others flatfooted, but not you. Perhaps your
