Doctors split on competency of accused killer
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A pair of court-appointed doctors are divid-
ed over the trial fitness of the childhood friend
accused of gunning down well-known com-
munity activist David Lewis at the Hillsdale
Shopping Center slightly less than a year ago.
The split means a third doctor will deter-
mine if Gregory Leon Elarms Sr., 58, is able
to aid in his own defense against potentially
capital murder charges or if he should be sent
to a state mental hospital for treatment.
The initial two doctors returned their reports
to the court Wednesday, leading to the
appointment of the third whose findings are
due back April 25, said prosecutor Al
Giannini.
Even if the doctors lean toward competency,
defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky could still
request a trial on the matter.
Boyarsky said he was not surprised by the
split conclusions but it is too early now to plan
for either a trial or questions about sanity.
“We’ll just see first what the third doctor
says,” Boyarsky said.
Thousands protest
budget cuts at colleges
LONG BEACH — More than 10,000 peo-

buildings at college campuses across
California on Wednesday in a show of oppo-
sition to state budget cuts to education that
could lead to higher tuition, larger class sizes
and lower enrollment.
The rallies were part of a day of protest
planned for all 23 California State University
campuses. Similar events took place in states
such as Massachusetts and New Jersey,
where legislators are slashing education
spending to close huge budget shortfalls.
In California, students peacefully occupied
administration buildings in protest on at least
six campuses, said Brian Ferguson, a

Questions of Elarms’
mental state have been

Competency is a defendant’s ability to aid
in his or her own defense while sanity is a per-
son’s mental state at the time of a specific
incident.
If tried and convicted, Elarms faces life in
prison without parole or the death penalty
because prosecutors allege he laid in wait to
kill Lewis, who he’d known as a teen in East
Palo Alto. Elarms allegedly followed Lewis, a

in connection with the theft of $37
million worth of computer chips
from a Fremont high-tech company
in February, the biggest robbery of
its kind in Bay Area history, officials

Armed with handguns and rifles,
several men wearing masks and dark
clothing took over Unigen Corp. on
the morning of Feb. 27, where they
bound five Unigen employees at
gunpoint and forced them into a

The men then began raiding com-

Synagogue blast suspect
will return to California
The suspect in an explosion at a
Santa Monica synagogue agreed
Wednesday to return from Ohio to
face charges.
Ron Hirsch, 60, waived a deten-
tion hearing and told a federal mag-
istrate judge that he was ready to be
returned to face charges in the blast.
No plea was entered on a federal
fugitive count.
Hirsch waved and smiled at
reporters in court and offered short,
polite answers to the judge’s ques-
tions about his case.
Los Angeles County prosecutors
have filed four felony charges,
including possession of a destructive
device and explosion with intent to
murder.
His attorney, Daniel Chaplin, said
Hirsch will fight the California
charges and maintains his inno-
cence.
“He’s anxious to go back to
California,” Chaplin said outside

charges, “What they’re saying about
him, he denies,” Chaplin said.
The U.S. Marshals Service said it
expects to fly Hirsch back to
California next week.
Hirsch, a transient known to seek
charity at synagogues and other
Jewish community centers, was
charged Tuesday with fleeing to
avoid prosecution after the explo-
sion last week in Santa Monica.
His arrest in Cleveland Heights
late Monday came after a rabbi rec-
ognized him from news reports
about the explosion near Chabad
House Lubavitch.
An FBI affidavit said Hirsch was
linked to the explosion by a mailing
label on a box of demolition agent.
The package was addressed to him
and sent to a place across the street
from the explosion site, federal
authorities said.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

That Peter Pan sure gets around! ‘Peter Pan’

From a book to the stage, to the
movies, to a musical, to an animat-
ed version by Walt Disney, to televi-
sion and, now, to a ballet performed
by the Peninsula Ballet Theatre.
After watching PBT, the second
oldest professional ballet company
in the Bay Area, rehearsing the
Northern California premier of
Bruce Steivel’s originally choreo-
graphed 1999 work and a DVD of a
previous production, I could have
opened this preview with: “You
should go!” This one is not only for
the kids, but for the whole family
and even grandma and grandpa, too.
Ballet dancers have always
aspired to jump higher and higher
through the years and, now, with the
aid of flying machines, their fondest
dreams are being realized in this
production. Nijinsky and Pavlova
must be spinning in their graves
with envy.
There are more than 30 profes-
sional dancers, eight children from
PBT’s Conservatory dancing the
“lost boys,” many aerial pas de
deux, a dancing Indian tribe, an
onstage pirate ship full of pirates,
the notorious Captain Hook dancing
samba with a crocodile who had
been pursuing to eat him. Flying is
achieved by an offstage crew of
eight. The original musical score is
beautiful. This Peninsula Ballet
Theater production is a winner and
could replace the traditional
“Nutcracker” as a Christmas treat.
Since there will be only three per-
formances of this ballet version this
coming weekend, I took the liberty

of watching the rehearsals and

like ballets.

After Peter takes Wendy and her
brothers on a flying trip into
“Neverland,” we find Bobby
Bernstein as Tiger Lily, the leader of
a dancing Indian tribe, Nathan
Cottam as the villainous and dark
Captain Hook and Cason McBride
as the hungry, dancing Crocodile.
And, also, we find a darling covey
of children dancing the “Lost Boys”
and a band of ruthless pirates to try
to capture them.
There are people walking the
plank, a hilarious samba dance by
Captain Hook and the Crocodile,
Peter’s duel to death with Hook, the
Indian Tribe dancing to traditional
rhythms and the “Lost Boys” doing
body flips.
The choreography is original and
inspired and the music very appro-
priate. This PBT version of the bal-
let “Peter Pan” is a visual and musi-
cal treat for dance lovers and those
who should be.

Gay marriage foes want
judge to return trial tapes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The sponsors of
California’s same-sex marriage ban want the
now-retired federal judge who declared
Proposition 8 unconstitutional to surrender
videotapes of the trial that led to his ruling.
Lawyers for supporters of the voter-
approved ban also asked the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals on Wednesday to prohibit
former Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn
Walker from playing the recordings for any-
one else.
The motion came in response to a talk

garden, the Garden Club will sponsor educa-
tional activities focused on sustainable gar-
dening, healthy eating and environmental
awareness.
The club will host an information meeting

interested in joining the club and those who
would like to have their own planter beds to
attend the meeting. Those who might like to
help with garden construction or fundraising
are encouraged to attend as well.
With a five-figure construction budget, the

BART General Manager
Dorothy Dugger resigns
BART general manager Dorothy Dugger
submitted a letter of resignation Wednesday
morning and will step down on April 22,
BART officials said. Under an agreement
reached by Dugger and BART’s board of
directors, the transit agency will pay her
$958,000.
That amount includes the $600,000 cost of
Dugger’s severance package if she had been
terminated, plus $350,000 to “ensure a
smooth transition and avoid any litigation
between the parties,” BART officials said.
Dugger has served as the agency’s general
manager since August 2007 and has been
with BART for 19 years. She was the first
woman to hold the top post.
The board will hold a special closed ses-
sion on Thursday to discuss the search for
Dugger's replacement and consider naming
an interim general manager.

word wizard, a Scrabble master, a “Rube
Goldberg” problem solver. His sense of humor
and dry wit were infamous.
In his professional life, as teacher and
administrator for the SFUSD, Al made many
friends. Hiking, and a love of nature, lead Al to
build a family cabin on the North Shore of
Lake Tahoe in 1957 where he spent treasured
time with family in the warm, renewing sun
and water. Many of his SFUSD colleagues
built cabins as well. A lifelong contributor to
the Boy Scouts of America, Al was also an
eagle scout. Later, he was an avid member of
SIRS.
“Poppy” loved sports (golf, waterskiing and
his teams: the Giants, Niners and the
Cardinal). Musically, he played the piano
daily, read music and played by ear. Trumpet,
jazz and Broadway musicals rounded out this
love.
Services will be held 1 p.m. April 19 at the
Chapel of the Highlands in Millbrae, El

Backing Jerry Brown
State law enforcement groups back governor’s tax extensions
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s
major law enforcement organizations
and the sheriff of its most populous
county rallied Wednesday behind Gov.
Jerry Brown’s call for extending tax
increases to pay for a new law that shifts
responsibility for thousands of criminals
from the state to local governments.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca
and officials representing prosecutors,
police chiefs and probation officers
joined Brown at the Capitol to urge
Republican lawmakers to approve a spe-
cial election during which voters would
be asked to extend tax increases set to
expire this year.
Brown’s plan calls for $5.9 billion of
the vehicle and sales taxes to fund the
realignment. It’s part of his effort to
bridge the state’s $26.6 billion budget
deficit without resorting to an all-cuts
budget. He already has signed bills cut-
ting the budget by $11.2 billion by
reducing spending and transferring
funds.
Baca, whose county accounts for 30
percent of state prison inmates, said
local law enforcement can do a better
and cheaper job of punishing and reha-
bilitating criminals than the state but
needs lawmakers to secure the money
for jails and education programs if the
realignment is to succeed.
Several law enforcement associations
were angered when Brown signed the
realignment law last week without hav-
ing the funding in place. The realign-
ment won’t take effect unless it is
FAA suspends sleeping controllers,adds more staff
By Scott Sonner and Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENO, Nev. — A napping air traffic
controller who forced a medical flight to
land unaided in Nevada brought swift
reaction from the Federal Aviation
Administration, which on Wednesday
added a second overnight controller at 26
airports and a radar facility. The move
came after several other recent incidents
of controllers sleeping during their shifts.
The controller at Reno-Tahoe
International Airport was out of commu-
nication for about 16 minutes when the

backed by funding.
But the organizations are now allying
with Brown, a Democrat, to lobby
against an all-cuts budget they said
would harm public safety along with
public schools, colleges and universities,
health care programs and other govern-
ment services.
“This past fiscal year we were asked to

Sheriff Mark Pazim, president of the
state sheriffs’ association. “This year,
without this state constitutional amend-
ment, we are looking at financial ampu-
tation.”
aircraft carrying at least three people was
landing about 2 a.m. Wednesday, the
FAA said. No injuries were reported.
“This is absolutely unacceptable,”
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood
said in a statement. “The American pub-
lic trusts us to run a safe system. Safety
is our No. 1 priority and I am committed
to working 24/7 until these problems are
corrected.”
It was the second case this week of a
controller being suspended for sleeping
on the job. A controller at Boeing Field-
King County International in Seattle fell

Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber,
responding for Republicans, predicted
the realignment will overwhelm courts,
jails and rehabilitation programs, lead-
ing to early releases and minimal pun-
ishments.
The counties would be responsible for
adult offenders convicted of non-serious,
nonviolent and non-sexual offenses,
along with many parolees.
“That puts it way over the top, when
you are going to compromise the per-
sonal safety of our families and you are
going to compromise justice,” Nielsen
said.

He was already facing disciplinary action
for sleeping on two separate occasions
during an early evening shift in January,
the agency said.
The National Air Traffic Controllers
Association has warned against putting
controllers alone on shifts and assigning
tiring work schedules.
At most airport towers, there’s no bath-
room in the cab — the room on the top of
the tower. With only one controller on
duty, the position has to go unattended at
times if the controller needs to use a
bathroom.

CITY GOVERNMENT
• The San Mateo Planning
Commission approved site plan per-
mits for the demolition of the former
police station at 2000 S. Delaware St.
and the construction of 120 residential
housing units on the property at its
meeting Tuesday night. Half the units
are marked as affordable and will be
managed by the MidPen Housing Corporation while the
rest of the units will be leased separately. The project has now
moved on to the City Council for final approval.
• On Tuesday, the Millbrae City Council tabled the con-
versation to approve plans to build a new Safeway citing traf-
fic concerns. Millbrae’s new Safeway is slated to have lots of
extra parking, an outdoor patio and a bank while retaining the
historic mosaic currently seen along El Camino Real.
Safeway’s plans, which include tearing down the store at
525 El Camino Real and erecting a podium building with
street-level parking both in front of and underneath the store,
was approved in February by the Millbrae Planning
Commission. During Monday’s meeting, the council noted a
number of concerns around traffic and a desire for local labor
to be preferred for the work.
The new proposal would demolish the current building,
probably in early 2012, to create a 59,001-square-foot store
with 183 parking spots which would be reached by using an
escalator or elevator. Inside the store will be a Seattle’s Best
Coffee and a U.S. Bank.

BART awards contract
to strengthen transbay tube
Bay Area Rapid Transit District directors
approved the first major construction con-
tract the week of April 15, 2006 to strength-
en the transbay tube so it can withstand a
massive earthquake.
BART board Vice President Lynette Sweet
threatened to delay awarding the $9.7 mil-
lion contract to the construc-
tion firm Condon Johnson &
Associates Inc.
because it didn’t
meet BART’s
goals for partici-
pation by minority and
women contractors.
BART staff members said Condon Johnson
made good faith efforts to find minority and
women contractors, but Sweet, who is black,
said, “Not only do I find that hard to believe,
I know it’s not true.”
Sweet eventually decided not to stop the
contract being awarded, saying, “I don’t
want to be the director who held it up and
we get an earthquake.”
The board ended up voting unanimously,
9-0, to approve the contract.
BART officials say that each weekday
nearly half of the agency’s 325,000 daily rid-
ers go through the tube, which is entrenched
in the San Francisco Bay floor and connects
the East Bay with downtown San Francisco.
Storm damage rises
The wet weather claimed more victims the

About four feet of mud careened down the
hill behind 660 Sierra Point Drive and buried
two residential backyards. The mudslide

U.S. missiles hit Pakistan
despite request to limit
ISLAMABAD — Two U.S. missile strikes
killed six reputed Afghan Taliban fighters in a
Pakistani tribal region Wednesday, drawing
sharp condemnation from Pakistan’s govern-
ment just days after it asked Washington to
limit such attacks.
The U.S. relies heavily on the covert, CIA-
run missile program to kill al-Qaida and
Taliban fighters in Pakistan’s northwest — a
program Pakistan publicly denounces but has
secretly helped. The Obama administration said
Tuesday it is negotiating a possible reduction in
U.S. intelligence operatives and special opera-
tions officers in Pakistan as the two countries
try to mend relations badly strained by the
detention of a CIA contractor for killing two
Pakistanis.
On Wednesday, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry
called drone attacks “a core irritant in the count-
er-terror campaign” and said it had lodged a
“strong protest” with U.S. Ambassador
Cameron Munter over the new strikes. A U.S.
Embassy spokesman confirmed the Foreign
Ministry had called the ambassador.
The latest drone-fired strikes came minutes
apart, hitting the South Waziristan tribal area
near the Afghan border, Pakistani intelligence
officials said.
Protesters see victory
as Egypt’s Mubarak detained
CAIRO — Ousted President Hosni Mubarak
and his two sons were detained Wednesday for
investigation of corruption, abuse of power and
killings of protesters, bringing cheers of victory
from activists who hoped it marked a turning
point in Egypt’s turbulent transition to democ-
racy.
The 82-year-old Mubarak was under deten-
tion in a hospital, a step prosecutors depicted as
a precaution to monitor his health while under
questioning.
His sons Gamal, once seen as Mubarak’s suc-
cessor, and Alaa, a wealthy businessman, were
jailed in Cairo’s Torah prison, where a string of
former top regime figures — including
Mubarak’s prime minister, ruling party chief
and chief of staff — are already languishing,
facing similar corruption investigations.

According to the final, semi-official ballot
results posted on San Mateo County’s elec-
tion Web site, 88.84 percent of those who
cast ballots in yes-
terday’s special

favor of Measure R.
In total, 215 people voted for the measure,
which allows “unlimited wagers instead of a
limit of $200 per bet in a poker game and
$200 per betting slot in an Asian game,”
according to the ballot language.
Sheriff targets Libertarian
Sheriff Don Horsley was putting away his
gun and taking aim at Libertarian Jack
Hickey the week of April 15, 2006 in a bid
for the Sequoia Healthcare District Board.
Horsley was not seeking another term as
sheriff, but instead said he would run for one
of three available seats on the health care
district board held by Art Faro, Hickey and
John Oblak. Horsley wanted to focus on
funding for indigent care and automated
defibrillators, but didn’t discount rumors that
he was running to unseat Libertarian Hickey.
Doing so would have eliminated an often
contentious element on the board as Hickey
ran on a platform of dissolving the district
and often feuds with other board members.
Horsley had served as the San Mateo
County sheriff since 1993.

BEIRUT — Women, children and students

The protest movement is posing an increas-

evacuees demand compensation
TOKYO — Small business owners and

After Bonds verdict: Who’s next?

Federal prosecutors got their convic-

Roger Clemens and, maybe, Lance
Armstrong.
The government’s hazy victory in
the Bonds trial — one conviction,
three counts undecided — left an
Lance Armstrong equally split opinion on how prosecu-
tors might proceed in the two high-
profile doping-related sports cases left
on its docket.
Some view the Bonds trial and
Wednesday’s verdict as more fuel for
prosecutors to pursue these kind of
cases, while skeptics said the trial pro-
duced more questions about why the
government is spending so much time
and money going after high-profile
athletes in less-than-airtight cases.
“My guess is, I’d expect other inves-
tigations to continue,” said a former
federal prosecutor, Laurie Levenson of
Loyola University Law School. “I
think people will still realize how hard
it was to bring a case like this. But I
doubt federal prosecutors will be walk-
ing away from cases like this. In fact,
this will probably embolden them.”

Niemi key to Sharks Stanley Cup run

By Josh Dubow

SAN JOSE — Antti Niemi was a major rea-
son the San Jose Sharks failed to make it past
the Western Conference final a year ago with
his spectacular play in goal for Chicago.
Now that Niemi has traded in his Indian-
head logo for a teal sweater, the Sharks are
hoping he can play just as well in his second
postseason as he did in his first when he
helped end the Blackhawks’ nearly five-
decade title drought.
“I still have nightmares of the save he made
on me in Game 1,” Sharks forward Ryane
Clowe said. “It’s great to have him on our
side. When you go against a Stanley Cup
goalie and he beats you and then you get him
over here the next year, that’s always nice. We
love Nemo. We love the way he competes.
He’s a workhorse and we expect big things
from him.”

NFL wants $300M for rookies
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NFL wants to cut
almost 60 percent of guaranteed pay for
first-round draft picks, lock them in for
five years and divert the savings to veter-
ans’ salaries and benefits.
More than $525 million went to first-
rounders in guaranteed payments in
2010. The league wants to decrease that
figure by $300 million, according to
documents obtained by The Associated
Press.
The league’s offer would free a total of
more than $1.2 billion over four years
through 2015 — $37.5 million per team
overall — and slow the growth rate of
guaranteed payments to first-rounders,
which the documents show increased by
233 percent from 2000-10.
Such quarterback busts as JaMarcus
Russell ($32 million), Matt Leinart
($12.9 million), David Carr ($15 mil-
lion) and Joey Harrington ($13.9 mil-
lion) received huge guaranteed pay-
ments that totaled $367 million in the
last 10 drafts.
Of course, Eli Manning ($24 million),
Philip Rivers ($17.9 million) and Matt
Ryan ($34.7 million) have not done too
badly for their teams.

selections since 2000 reached nearly $2

Serena Williams grabbed her racket

after a series of health problems, includ-
ing blood clots in her lung.

player has not played an official match
since she won the title at Wimbledon in
July.
On Tuesday, Williams tweeted: “Cool

billion. Guaranteed payments for all
first-rounders were at $3.5 billion. The
average career length of a first-round
pick since 1993 is 9.3 years.
Eagles president Joe Banner said the
original aim of the draft is being com-
promised by the expenses associated
with signing top picks.
“The whole concept of the draft and
ordering of the picks is to maintain com-
petitive balance in the league,” Banner
said. “Now teams get top picks who have
become so expensive and there’s the risk
you can miss, and it makes the ability to
trade in and out of those spots almost
impossible. It can become a disadvan-
tage to be in one of the top spots.”
The owners, of course, are the ones
offering the huge guaranteed bonuses.
During talks for a new collective bar-
gaining agreement, the league also pro-
posed eliminating holdouts by reducing
the maximum allowable salary if a rook-
ie isn’t signed when training camp
begins. The NFL also suggested elimi-
nating holdouts for all veterans by pro-
hibiting renegotiations of contracts if a
player holds out in the preseason.
The compensation system would not
include a rookie wage scale and would
allow for individual contract negotia-
tions.

email to The Associated Press.

not affect salaries for those rounds, the
league said.
“From a fairness standpoint, the sim-
ple concept to drive this should be that
the players who contribute the most to
the league should get the most money,”
Banner said. “What this system does is
ensures players playing well in the NFL
and bringing in fans and driving TV (rat-
ings) will get the money that went to
players who turned out not to be so
good. And that is good for everyone.”
The NFL Players Association was not
immediately available for comment.
Several agents said the proposals place
unfair limitations on players entering the
league.
“Five years and reduced pay is basi-
cally restricting players,” said Ben
Dogra, whose clients include Patrick
Willis and Sam Bradford. “Roughly 68
percent of the NFL is comprised of play-
ers with five years or less of NFL expe-
rience.
“Even players from essentially picks
11 to 32 in the first round are good
financial deals for the teams. If a player
becomes a starter or an integral part of
the team under the current system, the
NFL teams have the player under a rook-
ie deal that is favorable to the team.”

Bonds, arguably the biggest name
to emerge from the federal investiga-
tion into the Bay Area Laboratory
Co-Operative, could receive up to 10
years in prison for his obstruction-
of-justice conviction, though federal
guidelines call for 15-21 months.
For similar offenses in the BALCO
case, the judge in the Bonds case has
sentenced defendants to home con-
finement.
Whether or not baseball’s all-time
home run leader is incarcerated, the
case once again brought up ques-
tions about the government’s role in
fighting doping in sports.
“What bothers me is that you’ve

That performance gives him con-

into this year’s playoffs.
“I don’t think it will be easy, but it
is a little different having some
experience,” he said. “Last year, I
played 30-something games and it
was my first playoffs ever. It was
really mind-boggling. Now I know I
can play playoffs so it’s a different
case.”
He said that first game of the
Western Conference final in San
Jose, when he made the diving
glove stop to rob Clowe late in the
second period, was one of the most
important he played during that run.
That started Chicago’s sweep of
San Jose in the latest postseason dis-
appointment for the Sharks.
“It’s nice to have him in the same
utation,” said Rep. Jack Kingston of
Georgia, who last month questioned
the Food and Drug Administration
about its bankrolling of parts of the
investigation into Armstrong. “Why
did it take eight years to get to this
point on Barry Bonds? And with all
the problems we’ve got, why are we
sitting here at the end of an eight-
year investigation?”
The answer, according to the gov-
ernment and those in the anti-doping
community: Because the cases are
worth pursuing, both on their own
merits and because of the messages
they send about the need to play fair
— at the highest levels, all the way
down to little league.
The prosecutors, of course, make
their biggest headlines when they
reach for the big boys.

Meanwhile, Clemens is scheduled

Congress for denying using steroids.
His attorney, Rusty Hardin, declined
comment.
The Clemens case is one of the
many with roots that can be traced to
BALCO, which, according to the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, has
resulted in the suspension of 25 ath-
letes and coaches in Olympic sports
along with the forfeiture of more
than 30 Olympic medals, U.S. titles

Clemens, for alleged steroid use.
A’s beat Chicago in
late innings again
By Rick Gano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Cliff Pennington’s
swing had been off and he’d been
limited for two games because of an
infected sweat gland under his arm.
Entering with a .160 average and
batting out of the No. 9 hole,
Pennington faced a difficult situa-
tion in the ninth inning. The
Oakland Athletics had scored but
still trailed the Chicago White Sox
by two. And now the bases were
loaded with two outs.
Facing struggling closer Matt
Thornton, Pennington delivered. He
dropped a two-run single into center
and the A’s added three more in the
10th for a 7-4 victory.
“Matt Thornton on the mound
throwing 97 miles per hour, I just
tried to get a fastball I could hit and
it fell in,” Pennington said.
“That’s what we have to do offen-
sively — scratch and claw.”
With the White Sox leading 4-1 in
the ninth, Chris Sale gave up a lead-
off double to Conor Jackson, an
RBI single to Josh Willingham and
a single to Hideki Matsui. Jesse
Crain came on and walked pinch-
hitter Daric Barton to load the bases
before fanning Kurt Suzuki.
Thornton then struck out pinch-
hitter Ryan Sweeney for the second
out but couldn’t get the ball past
Pennington.

Pennington said. “They’re going to

trying to scratch a few runs across
any way we can.”
Coco Crisp entered in the ninth as
a pinch runner and was in a 3-for-22
slump before singling off Thornton
(0-2) to give the A’s the lead in the
10th. The hit came right after
Thornton — who is 0 for 4 on save
opportunities this season — walked
Jackson and Willingham.
Barton followed with a two-run
single and Thornton was booed as
he walked off the mound after being
replaced by Tony Pena.
The White Sox now have lost
late-inning leads three times in less
than a week, twice to the A’s, who
also rallied to win Monday night’s
series opener.
“Oh man,” Thornton said.
“There’s nothing to even describe it
right now. Frustration is pretty high.

my frustration right now. It’s the
most frustrated I’ve been in a long
time. I can’t remember a run of

frame, the Knights had a 4-3 lead.
“We played well offensively,” Donohoe
said. “We swung the ball pretty well, we
played pretty good. We just had one of those
days at the end when we couldn’t close it out.”
Hillsdale would add another run in the sixth
when Austin Parker dumped a single into no-
man’s land in shallow right field to give his
team a 5-3 advantage.
“We knew had to go up there (in the seventh
inning) and be aggressive,” Vallero said. “We
knew the zone, we learned it early in the
game. But late in the game, when you’re down
a run or two and you’re playing at home, we
want to put a little extra pressure on them so
we took a strike and whatever the case was,
whether they were strikes or balls, we stayed
patient. As soon as you put a little more pres-
sure on the visiting team, then momentum
switches a little bit and the tide turns in your
favor.”
Sometimes it’s just the way the ball
bounces.
Hillsdale can blame that on the baseball
gods.
Bonds verdict creates
tiny ripple across MLB
By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon Inge hit a game-winning homer,
then seemed to speak for many big leaguers
when it came to Barry Bonds, drugs and the
verdict for baseball’s home run king.
“I think everyone’s so tired of steroid alle-
gations. BALCO and — what was the other
one? — Mitchell Report,” Inge said
Wednesday after his bottom-of-the-ninth shot
lifted Detroit over Texas.
“Baseball’s turned the page on that stuff. It’s
a clean sport now, and there’s no way to beat
the system. “It’s not on our radar, I don’t
think.”
Five days after Manny Ramirez retired
rather than face a 100-game drug ban, a feder-
al jury in San Francisco delivered the news on
Bonds: Guilty on a single charge of obstruc-
tion of justice, no verdict on three other
counts.
Years in the making, and stemming from a
time forever branded as the Steroids Era, the
Bonds trial seemed to create barely a ripple
across the majors. Clubhouse TV sets were
tuned to games, rather than reports on the
case.
“I don’t follow that stuff,” said Washington
pitcher Livan Hernandez, Bonds’ former
teammate. “He’s a good friend of mine. But I
don’t follow what’s going on in the courts.”
His Hall of Fame legacy likely in tatters
despite his 762 home runs and seven MVP
awards, Bonds flashed a V-for-victory sign as
he left the courthouse.
Major League Baseball, too, saw this as a
win, for a totally different reason.
“This trial is a stark illustration of how far
this sport has come,” Commissioner Bud Selig
said in a statement.
“In contrast to allegations about the conduct
of former players and the environment of past
years, 2011 marks the eighth season of drug
testing in the major leagues and our 11th sea-
son in the minors,” he said.
Already this year 21 suspensions have been
imposed under the minor league program.
Don Hooton, too, felt like celebrating the
THE DAILY JOURNAL
conviction, though for very different reasons.
His son Taylor committed suicide in July
2003. Doctors later said they thought the 17-
year-old high school baseball player became
depressed after he got off steroids. The Taylor
Hooton Foundation’s education programs at
big league ballparks are funded by MLB.
“It is a wonderful day for the good guys, for
those who choose to play fair,” Don Hooton
told The Associated Press by telephone from
Texas. “I’m hoping we get to see Mr. Bonds
have to do a perp walk as he goes off to jail.”
“I can see the image of him rounding the
bases with his arms in the air as he celebrates
another home run. Now, hopefully, he’ll have
his hands behind his back in handcuffs. That’s
where he belongs,” Hooton said.
In Atlanta, the Braves said Hank Aaron had
no comment on the verdict. In San Francisco,
at the ballpark where Bonds broke Aaron’s
record of 755 home runs in August 2007, his
former Giants teammates took notice of the
verdict.
“Obviously, you definitely wanted not
guilty, to see he was doing everything that was
legal,” said pitcher Matt Cain, who played
three seasons with Bonds. “We would have
loved for it to be not guilty.”
“The court case today showed he didn’t do
anything wrong, and he’s not guilty for lying,”
he said.
Nate Schierholtz grew up in the Bay area,
sitting in the stands rooting for Bonds. When
Schierholtz made his big league debut in June
2007, it was to replace Bonds in the lineup.
“Obviously, they don’t have the evidence,”
Schierholtz said. “Growing up, even before I
played for the Giants, he was the guy I loved
coming to the park and watching. If you could
picture anyone recently in a Giants uniform,
it’s him. He did a lot for the community.
“We want to move on and get past this.
We’ve got a good drug program in place. It’s
old news at this point,” he said.
Yet there’s hardly any reason to think the
talk about drugs will go away. Seven-time Cy
Young winner Roger Clemens is set to go on
trial in July for lying to Congress when he
denied he used performance-enhancing drugs.

AJDABIYA, Libya — NATO
launched new airstrikes Wednesday
on targets held by Moammar Gadhafi
as rebel leaders urged a stronger air
campaign that will allow them to
advance on Gadhafi’s territory.
Gadhafi’s government, mean-
while, denounced proposals by rebel
leaders that they be given some of
the regime’s assets that have been
frozen as part of international sanc-
tions. “That is financial piracy,”
Finance Minister Abdulhafid Zlitni
said of such a transfer. In all, about
$120 billion in Libyan assets have
been frozen, he told a news confer-
ence.
Detailing Wednesday’s bombings,
a NATO official confirmed a strike
on at least one ammunition bunker
outside the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
He asked that his name not be used
because the military alliance was not

Obama: Cut spending,raise taxes
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama coupled a call for $4
trillion in long-term deficit reduc-
tions with a blistering attack on
Republican plans for taxes,
Medicare and Medicaid on
Wednesday, laying down markers
for a roiling debate in Congress and
the 2012 presidential campaign to
come.
Obama said spending cuts and
higher taxes alike must be part of
any deficit-reduction plan, including
an end to Bush-era tax cuts for the
wealthy. He proposed an unspecified
“debt failsafe” that would go into
effect if Congress failed to make
sure the national debt would be
falling by 2014 relative to the size of
the overall economy.
“We have to live within our
means, reduce our deficit and get
back on a path that will allow us to
pay down our debt,” the president

Medicare cuts that they criticized vig-

care law.
The cuts are included in the 2012
budget that Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
unveiled last week and account for a
significant share of the $5.8 trillion in
claimed savings over the next decade.
The House is expected to vote on

WASHINGTON — A new budget
estimate released Wednesday shows
that the spending bill negotiated
between President Barack Obama
and House Speaker John Boehner
would produce less than 1 percent of
the $38 billion in promised savings
by the end of this budget year.

Obama spoke to an audience that

chairman later told reporters he had
been excited to receive an invitation
to the speech, believing the adminis-
tration was extending an olive
branch.
“Instead, what we got was a
speech that was excessively parti-
san, dramatically inaccurate and
hopelessly inadequate to addressing
our country’s pressing fiscal chal-
lenges,“ Ryan said. ”What we heard
today was not fiscal leadership from
our commander in chief. What we
heard today was a political broad-
side from our campaigner in chief.”

grams and foreign aid are offset by
nearly equal increases in defense
spending.
When war funding is factored in
the legislation would actually
increase total federal outlays by
$3.3 billion relative to current lev-
els.
To a fair degree, the lack of imme-
diate budget-cutting punch is
because the budget year is more
than half over and that cuts in new
spending authority typically are
slow to register on deficit tallies.
And Republicans promise that when
fully implemented and repeated
year after year, the cuts in the meas-
ure would reduce the deficit by $315
billion over the coming decade.

What to do,whom to call when a tree falls
By Carole Feldman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When a tree came down on the roof of Peter
R. Rosenblatt’s Washington, D.C., home dur-
ing a snowstorm this winter, he knew the drill.
He’d been through the same thing a few
months earlier.
“We called in the insurance company and
the roofer and the arborist,” he said.
Last year, severe storms caused more than
$12 million in U.S. property damage.
Although there are no specific statistics on
how much of that was caused by falling trees,
they are a frequent source of damage to
homes, power lines and more.
Old and diseased trees are especially vul-
nerable to high winds and flooding, but even
the healthiest trees can come crashing down.
When that happens, says Eric Liskey,
deputy garden editor for Better Homes and
Gardens, “it sounds like guns going off the
way the wood cracks.”
The first thing to do is to make sure every-
one is OK. “If you feel unsafe, you pretty
much need to just leave the property,” Liskey
said.
If wires are down, call the police and the
power company. Then, call the insurance
company.
Take pictures or video of the damage, if you
can.
“You and 500 people are trying to get help,”
Liskey said. “The officials involved get to it as
quickly as they can. There isn’t a whole lot to
do other than wait it out.”
When a tree comes down in a storm and hits
a house, garage, deck or fence, the damage is
probably covered under a homeowners’ poli-
cy, less the deductible. Under the additional
coverage section of many policies, the cost of
removing the tree would be covered at a rate
of $500 per tree, $1,000 per incident.
“This is where, when something goes
wrong, I want my insurance to work for me,”
said Mary Ann Cook, who designs course
materials for the Institutes, which provides
professional development for the risk-man-
agement and property-casualty insurance
industry.

prevent further water damage or board up any
broken windows. “Remediation services can
get out there pronto,” Cook said.
One such company is Select Restoration of
Frasier, Mich. Owner Bryan Nowicki says the
company, which offers 24-hour service, starts
with temporary repairs, including putting a
tarp on the roof, shoring up any parts of the
house that have structural damage and clean-
ing up water inside. It also helps homeowners
with insurance claims.
Your insurance company can help you make
sure the company you call for quick repairs is
reputable.
“In an emergency situation, you don’t have
time to search contractor licenses or Better
Business Bureau reports,” Nowicki said. “It’s
the luck of the draw. There are a lot of scam
artists who come out when a storm happens.”

standing — and working it out,” she said.
“Sometimes neighbors are good to each
other,” said Loretta Worters, vice president of
the Insurance Information Institute, a trade
association of the property-casualty industry.
When a big limb from her tree fell and dam-
aged a neighbor’s gutters and fence during a
snowstorm, Virginia Jarrett decided to try to
keep peace in her Washington neighborhood.
“I’m not responsible, but I’m taking responsi-
bility,” she said.
Jarrett, who is retired and lives on a fixed
income, said it is costing a significant amount
of money to do the repairs. “Life goes on and
I’ll absorb it,” she said.
There are times when a tree comes down in
a storm and doesn’t hit anything. In that case,
the cost of removing the tree is the homeown-
er’s responsibility, unless it blocks a driveway
or other traffic access, in which case at least
some of the removal cost would be covered
under many policies, Cook said
What about a tree that comes down on a
bright sunny day merely because it is dead?
“That gets to the idea of failure to maintain,”
Cook said. The cost of damage to your home
would be covered but not removal of the tree.
So what can homeowners do before a

BONDS
Continued from page 1
turned out to be a mixed and muddled verdict
on the slugger that left more questions than
answers.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston declared a
mistrial on the three charges that Bonds made
false statements when he told a grand jury in
December 2003 that he never knowingly
received steroids and human growth hormone
from trainer Greg Anderson and that he
allowed only doctors to inject him.
Defense lawyers will try to persuade Illston
or the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to
toss out the lone conviction. Federal prosecu-
tors must decide whether it is worth the time
and expense to try Bonds for a second time on
the deadlocked charges.
Less than two miles from the ballpark
where he broke Hank Aaron’s career home
run record in August 2007, Bonds walked out
of the Phillip Burton Federal Building on a
sunny, windy afternoon and looked on as his
lead lawyer, Allen Ruby, held a sidewalk news
conference. Ruby instructed Bonds not to
comment because the case wasn’t over.
Impeccably dressed in black suit and purple
necktie, with a few days of stubble on his
chin, Bonds flashed a victory sign to a few
fans.
“Are you celebrating tonight?” one asked.
“There’s nothing to celebrate,” he replied.
While Bonds stood on the sidewalk on the
courthouse’s north side, the jurors — whose
LOCAL
names are being withheld until Thursday —
went out the south entrance and many lin-
gered to answer questions. For now, they only
would give their first names.
Amber, a 19-year-old blonde woman who
was the youngest juror, said the final votes
were 8-4 to acquit Bonds of lying about
steroids and 9-3 to acquit him on lying about
HGH use. The panel voted 11-1 to convict
him of getting an injection from someone
other than his doctor, with one woman hold-
ing out, she said.
Jurors decided to convict Bonds on the
obstruction count on Tuesday; on Wednesday
they decided they could not come to unani-
mous decisions on the rest.
There was initial confusion when the jury
informed Illston’s clerk, Tracy Forakis, that
they had reached a verdict, and the court made
a public announcement. But when Forakis
went back to the jury room, the panel said the
verdict form wasn’t completed because there
was a deadlock. The court then issued a
retraction of its verdict announcement and
Illston convened the lawyers, first without
jurors, then with them, and learned they were
deadlocked on at least some of the charges.
Bonds, the seven-time National League
MVP, chatted with his lawyers while Illston
and the jury went back behind closed doors.
When they returned, Illston opened a manila
envelope with the verdict and handed it to
Forakis to read.
Bonds leaned forward, looked at the clerk,
but never reacted when the verdict was read.
His mother, Pat, watched from a second-row
bench.
“Divided, not unanimous,” on count one.
“Divided, not unanimous,” on count two.
“Divided, not unanimous,” on count three.
And then, just when it appeared Bonds
would escape unscathed, came the final word
from the jury:
“Guilty,” on obstruction of justice.
Dennis Riordan, one of the lawyers on
Bonds’ legal team that numbered as many as
13 some days, asked Illston to throw out the
guilty verdict and for a new trial on that count.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella
asked the judge to set a sentencing date.
Instead, Illston set a May 20 date for a status
conference.
“This case is about upholding one of the
most fundamental principles in our system of
justice — the obligation of every witness to
provide truthful and direct testimony in judi-
cial proceedings,” Melinda Haag, the U.S.
attorney in San Francisco, said in a statement.
“In the United States, taking an oath and
promising to testify truthfully is a serious mat-
ter. We cannot ignore those who choose
instead to obstruct justice. We will decide
whether to seek a retrial of the defendant on
the remaining counts as soon as possible.”
Now 46 and far trimmer than he appeared in
the final years of his career, Bonds faces up to
10 years in prison on the obstruction convic-
tion. Yet federal guidelines call for 15-21
months.
For similar offenses in the Bay Area
Laboratory Co-Operative steroids ring case,
known as BALCO, Illston sentenced cyclist
Tammy Thomas to six months of home con-
finement and track coach Trevor Graham to
one year of home confinement.
Baseball’s season (73) and career (762)
THE DAILY JOURNAL
record-holder for home runs, Bonds testified
before a grand jury that Anderson told him the
substances he was giving Bonds were flaxseed
oil and arthritic balm, and that Bonds didn’t
know they were designer steroids.
“Did Greg ever give you anything that
required a syringe to inject yourself with?”
Bonds was asked.
His answer meandered, talking about his
friendship with Anderson. The underlined part
in the indictment, the crime he was convicted
of, was this response: “That’s what keeps our
friendship. You know, I am sorry, but that —
you know, that — I was a celebrity child, not
just in baseball by my own instincts. I became
a celebrity child with a famous father. I just
don’t get into other people’s business because
of my father’s situation, you see.”
The jury instruction said that to be convict-
ed, Bonds must be found to have “obstructed,
influenced or impeded, or endeavored to
obstruct, influence, or impede” the grand jury
“by knowingly giving material testimony that
was intentionally evasive, false or mislead-
ing.”
The defense plans to argue that Bonds’
answer wasn’t relevant to the grand jury.
The government “has determined it’s
unlawful for Barry Bonds to tell the grand
jury he’s a celebrity child and to talk about his
friendship with Greg Anderson,” Ruby said.
Jurors said they unanimously agreed
Tuesday on the obstruction verdict.
“When you’re in front of a grand jury you
have to answer, and he gave a (expletive)
answer,” said Fred Jacob, the 56-year-old jury
foreman. “He gave a story rather than a yes-
or-no answer.”

Bunny motif abounds in spring decor
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Asian culture, 2011 is the Year of the
Rabbit. You wouldn’t know it given current
events, but traditionally, years hallmarked by
the animal are quiet and serene.
You’ll see lots of items commemorating
the year in Asian markets. In Western culture,
the bunny has found a home in the Easter
basket, but it’s also a token of spring’s arrival
— of renewal, and of nature at her most
benevolent.
Decorator and design blogger Lindsay
Ballard of Austin, Texas, is a big fan of bun-
nies. “They evoke a happy feeling, regardless
of the time of year,” she says. Just don’t over-
use the motif — letting them multiply, so to
speak, can look overdone.
“I’ll use a rabbit in a tabletop vignette
along with found objects and other vintage
elements,” she says.
Ballard hits the after-Easter sales for new
finds. “The key is to find pieces that will
work year-round. You don’t want to use a
rabbit carrying a pink and blue Easter egg in
your everyday decor.”
She suggests hunting for neutral-colored
examples, and spray painting if necessary.
At its most charming, rabbit imagery is
sweet and whimsical. But it can also look
sophisticated and modern, and that versatili-
ty makes it a great trend to hop on if you’re
looking for a few fresh spring updates.
Find white ceramic rabbits at Pottery Barn
to use as display pieces or clever serveware
— candy dishes, snack trays, etc. There’s
also a folk arty metal running rabbit mounted
on a wood block. Carved wooden rabbits are
popping up at several retailers, too.
Uttermost’s Leverette rabbit lamp,
designed by Carolyn Kinder, adds some
French Country flavor to the motif. Thomas
Paul’s new bunny graphic, in lilac, rose or
aqua, graces smart linen pillows and alpaca
throws.
If you’re interested in more of a commit-

Designer Katie Deedy remembered a child-
hood road trip through south Georgia when
she decided that fluffy-tailed bunnies must
have sprung from the fields of white cotton.

DATEBOOK
SPUR
Continued from page 1
included such remedies as creating an
umbrella agency to coordinate BART
and Caltrain; have BART govern
Caltrain; and sell Caltrain to the
California High-Speed Rail Authority
and have it operate the service.
SPUR is a 100-year-old public policy
organization that promotes good plan-
ning and government in San Francisco
but has branched out in recent years to
address regional transportation issues.
Caltrain lacks a dedicated funding
source and relies on contributions from
the San Mateo County Transit District
(SamTrans), Santa Clara County’s
Valley Transportation Agency and the
San Francisco Municipal Transportation
Agency to survive.
SamTrans is reducing its contribution
to Caltrain by about $10 million this
year due to its own financial struggles
and both VTA and MUNI will follow
suit, pushing Caltrain’s deficit to the $30
million mark.
Although the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission has come to
Caltrain’s rescue this year through fund
swaps and other methods, keeping the
trains running for the long term will take
a whole new funding strategy.
The Silicon Valley Leadership group
has made saving Caltrain its top region-
al issue and another group, Friends of
Caltrain, is working hard to promote the
train’s necessity on the Peninsula.
Former Palo Alto mayor Yoriko
Kishimoto supports SPUR’s effort to
find funding solutions for Caltrain but
realizes convincing the public to support
additional taxes — particularly a region-
al gas tax — may be a hard sell.
“The polling has been weak and that is
discouraging,” Kishimoto said.
A gas tax makes a lot of “theoretical
sense,” she said.
The MTC does have authority to put a
10-cent regional gas tax on the ballot
that would raise about $300 million a
year. It requires two-thirds voter
approval, however.
Polling data consistently indicates
non-support for such a tax, said MTC
spokesman Randy Rentschler.
“As gas prices increase, it may
become a harder sell,” Rentschler said.
FIRE
Continued from page 1
Millbrae spoke highly of the possible
partnership.
“We have worked on this long and
hard,” said Millbrae Mayor Dan Quigg.
Millbrae’s savings aren’t as high as
originally anticipated since the city will
need to raise salaries to the current
Central County levels.
Looking ahead, Quigg sees the move
as a cooperative effort to ensure the city
can afford to maintain services at its cur-
rent level.
San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said the

Orta-Camilleri. Several parents wanted
other options to be explored, she said.
Central Elementary parent Alesha
Breite volunteered to head the commit-
tee.
Breite’s hope for the group is simple:
Focus on solutions.
Conversations about changing bound-
aries has resulted in many meetings with
parents and residents often venting frus-
trations. Some of the comments hurt feel-
ings of other school communities. But
Congestion pricing would be a chal-
lenge, he said, because high-occupancy
toll lanes would not be a real possibility
in northern San Mateo and San
Francisco counties.
A parcel tax, by nature, is rigid and
must show a direct benefit to the parcel
being taxed, he said.
When it comes to governance,
Rentschler said Caltrain’s problem is
that it relies on voluntary contributions
from the three transit agencies that sup-
port it.
“If one of the three gets a cold then
Caltrain gets pneumonia,” Rentschler
said.
Perhaps a small regional sales tax
could support Caltrain, he said.
“No doubt, Caltrain is a bit of an
orphan when it comes to funding, but it’s
not completely unstable,” he said.
Ridership at Caltrain is actually climb-
ing despite fare increases and service
cuts. Farebox return is 43 percent for
Caltrain, one of the highest returns for
any transit agency in the Bay Area.
“It wouldn’t take that much of a sales
tax in the three counties. Even less than
a half cent,” he said.
Selling Caltrain to the California
High-Speed Rail Authority may be too
bold of a statement, Rentschler said, but
the relationship between the two groups
will one day be a critical one.
“It is about integration. Caltrain could
morph into a complementary service for
high-speed rail,” he said.
Another idea, not floated by SPUR,
would be to impose a fee on new transit-
oriented developments proposed in all
three counties along the Caltrain corri-
dor.
idea is a good thing.
“If we can maintain services and save
a couple bucks, it makes a lot of sense,”
he said.
Under the consolidation, the four-city
department would have a $25.1 million
annual budget with Central County Fire
cities covering 50 percent, San Bruno
contributing 30 percent and Millbrae
putting in 20 percent. Such an arrange-
ment would save an estimated $546,000
for Burlingame, $375,000 for Millbrae,
$364,000 for Hillsborough and
$230,000 for San Bruno. These savings
assume salary and benefits would be
paid at the level offered by Central
County, Haag wrote.
The governance model currently used
by Central County would be extended.
other speakers provided alternative ideas.
The committee — which will include
principals and two representatives from
each school — will provide an opportu-
nity to explore those options while
boundary changes are being discussed,
said Breite. It will meet weekly through
mid-May at which point any recommen-
dations will be presented to the board.
Ideas will be vetted by the whole com-
munity, said Breite. Gathering input
from the whole community will provide
solid information on whether there is
support for any of the ideas. Creating a
magnet school, for example, could natu-
rally draw parents to a new school but
only if it’s a program in which they are
THE DAILY JOURNAL
With a push for building high-density
transit-oriented developments along the
corridor, growth in property tax revenue
could be dedicated to Caltrain, said Sean
Elsbernd, chair of the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board and a San
Francisco supervisor.
Kishimoto supports taking an invento-
ry of all transit-oriented development
proposed on the corridor to gauge
whether an incremental property tax
assessment would generate enough rev-
enue to support Caltrain.
Whatever the ultimate solution is,
Caltrain cannot survive without a dedi-
cated funding stream, Elsbernd said.
SPUR is a membership-driven non-
profit agency that has a civic voice on
the MTC.
Walkable communities and transit-ori-
ented development are the framework
for future growth in the Bay Area, said
Egon Terplan, SPUR’s regional planning
director.
“It is inconceivable to plan for the
region without Caltrain,” Terplan said.
One day, Terplan said, all rail systems
on both sides of the Bay could eventual-
ly be a single system, Terplan said.
Caltrain staved off deep cuts this year
and will likely be spared from big cuts
next year but after that one-time funds
will likely dry up.
Rail advocates anticipate having some
sort of tax measure on the ballot in
November 2012.
Caltrain appreciates the outpouring of
support from the regional groups but
said it is too early yet to determine the
best approach to finding a long-term
solution.
“The issue we are most concerned
about is finding a long-term, dedicated
funding source for the Caltrain system.
We welcome all support, ideas and
efforts from the various community
groups, but it is too early to determine
what the best solution is for Caltrain
right now,” Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha
Bartholomew wrote in an email.
“Moving forward, we will continue
working with SPUR, the Silicon Valley
Leadership Group and the Friends of
Caltrain to determine what is the most
feasible public approach to addressing
Caltrain’s long-term financial stability.”

Each city council would provide two
elected officials to serve as members of
the fire board and city managers would

oversight every two years.
