Resident input sought for new pipeline rules

California Public Utilities Commission holding public hearings on gas transmission regulations,safety
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
New rules to create safer gaslines
throughout California will be draft-
ed after three public hearings, start-
ing in San Bruno tonight, are held
allowing the public to voice con-
cerns.
Tuesday’s meeting of the
California Public Utilities
Commission should be emotional
for San Bruno. Held almost seven
months after a 30-inch natural gas
transmission pipeline operated by
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
exploded and created a fatal fire in
the Glenview neighborhood Sept. 9,
the meeting will be located in the
same building used as the evacua-
tion center.
“This is the first step in the
process to allow the public to pres-
ent their concerns,” said CPUC
Information Officer Andrew Kotch.
A quorum of the CPUC will be on
hand to hear public testimony about
gas pipeline safety and regulation of
the transmission and pipelines. Two
other hearings are scheduled in Los
Angeles and Santa Rosa next
month. The proceedings will also
include collection and analysis of
data from ongoing investigations.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Sanity phase begins for teen bomber
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A week ago, jurors rejected Alexander Robert
Youshock’s purported schizophrenia as the rea-
son why he was not guilty of trying to murder
his former chemistry teacher and blow up
Hillsdale High School.
Now, these same jurors are weighing more
psychiatric evidence from both sides to decide if
Youshock, 18, was insane on Aug. 24, 2009
when he walked onto the campus of his former
school armed with 10 homemade pipe bombs
he called “resolutions,” a 10-inch sword, a chain
saw he named “Collie” after the Columbine
School massacre and a plan for vengeance
against those he thought guilty of ruining his
life.
The sanity phase of Youshock’s trial began
Monday with the burden on defense attorney
Jonathan McDougall who called just one wit-
ness to bolster the testimony of several doctors
who took the stand on his client’s behalf in the
past weeks.
“He’s exceedingly psychotic,” testified psy-
chologist Dr. Pablo Stewart who diagnosed
Youshock as a paranoid schizophrenic. “It’s
clear to me that he did not think it was wrong.”
In six visits over 20 months beginning just
days after the incident, Stewart said he found a
withdrawn boy so paranoid he lost 16 pounds in
juvenile hall and heard voices. Under cross-
examination, he conceded the weight loss could
have been attributed to other factors like not lik-
ing the food and that Youshock never personal-
ly said he heard voices.
However, Stewart did not sway from his view
that Youshock’s schizophrenia explained a mis-
guided view of teachers who pushed him to do
work and his subsequent plan of attack.
“In fact, his reaction to these benign requests
by his teachers was due to his underlying psy-
chotic illness,” Stewart said.
Other signs of his disease were beliefs his
mother was trying to poison him, that cameras
were in his bedroom and police were setting
fires in his neighborhood so they could spy on
him, Stewart said.
LOCAL
Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti
countered with Dr. Jeffrey
Kline, a clinic psychologist
appointed by the court, who
agreed Youshock is likely
schizophrenic but knew his
actions were legally and
morally wrong.
Alex Youshock “His disorder was never
really that severe,” Kline
said. “His symptoms were never really that pro-
found.
Guidotti wants jurors to believe that
Youshock may have felt his actions were justi-
fied but he still knew they were unacceptable.
Kline said Youshock’s careful preparations
and calculations to deceive his parents were
signs he understood society would find his plan
wrong. He also said Youshock’s journal, found
after his arrest, showed he understood sarcasm
and metaphors which point to distinctions made
between reality and fantasy.
During more than five hours of interviews and
testing, Kline said Youshock seemed reluctant
to offer up his motives and often said he should-
n’t answer questions because the prosecution
might be able to use the information against
him.
If jurors find Youshock insane, he will be sent
to a state mental institution for a minimum of 90
days up to indefinitely. If instead the jury finds
him sane, Youshock faces life in prison. Last
week, jurors convicted Youshock of premeditat-
ing and trying to murder his former chemistry
teacher, Meghan Spalding, two counts of
exploding a destructive device with intent to
commit murder, possessing a destructive device
in a public place, using explosives in an act of
terrorism and possessing a deadly weapon.
The jury hung 9-3 on a charge of attempting
to murder security aide Jana Torres with a pipe
bomb and Judge Stephen Hall declared a mis-
trial. Guidotti has not yet said if she will retry
Youshock on the count.
Youshock, who dropped out of Hillsdale
before completing his sophomore year, planned
the attack he called “D-Day” for five months in
which he convinced his mother to buy him
explosive chemicals by saying they were for
bottle rocket engines, purchased the chain saw
with his birthday money and taped himself both
experimenting with the weapons and outlining
his reasons for revenge. Youshock, according to
the manifesto and his journal, hated Spalding,
two other teachers and Principal Jeff Gilbert for
ruining his life with group participation and
homework. He wanted to kill the three teachers
and leave Gilbert to live with guilt. During his
own testimony, Youshock also said he would
kill anyone who got in his way.
Inside the classroom building that morning,
Youshock changed into a tactical vest outfitted
with bombs and tried unsuccessfully to start the
chain saw. After the noise, plus an unrelated
power outage, drew teachers to the hallway,
Youshock threw two pipe bombs that injured no
one including the one at Torres who responded
to a teacher’s call for help. He fled but was tack-
led by a teacher who held him until police
arrived.
During the guilt phase of trial, several doctors
testified that Youshock had begun hearing voic-
es in eighth-grade and fit the profile of a schiz-
ophrenic although they did not discount a
schizoid personality disorder. Defense experts
said Youshock confused fantasy and reality
which left him unable to legally form the intent
to kill.
Although Stewart said Youshock may not
have overtly displayed proof of hallucinations
and delusions, the omission doesn’t mean he
wasn’t still mentally ill.
“You could be quietly psychotic,” he said.
“You can’t tell someone is psychotic just by
looking at them.”
Youshock remains in custody without bail.
Evidence in this phase is anticipated to end by
Wednesday followed by jury deliberations.

$25K reward for info
in attack on Giants fan
By Dan McMenamin
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A reward of $25,000 from three
different sources has been issued
for information leading to the arrest
of the two men wanted for the
severe beating of a San Francisco
Giants fan in a Dodger Stadium
parking lot in Los Angeles last
weekend.
Bryan Stow, 42, was hospitalized
in critical condition after the two
suspects kicked him repeatedly in
the stadium’s F2 parking lot follow-
ing Thursday’s season opener,
which the Giants lost 2-1 to the Los
Angeles Dodgers, police said.
Stow, who works as a paramedic
in Santa Cruz County, was walking
with three friends when suspects
clad in Dodgers clothing
approached him from behind at
about 8:25 p.m. Thursday.
The suspects first taunted Stow,
who was wearing Giants gear, and
then hit him from behind, which
caused him to fall to the ground,
where he was then kicked repeated-
ly in the head and body.
Stow’s friends, who were also
wearing Giants clothing and are
from the Bay Area, tried to inter-
vene and were also attacked. They
suffered minor injuries and were
released at the scene.
The suspects had not been arrest-
ed as of Monday, but police released

arrest, said Tony Bell, the supervi-

The Giants also agreed to add a

paramedic company Stow worked
for, is also offering a $5,000 reward,

The reward “will encourage

assailants to justice,” Bell said.
“This is an affront to everyone

Lawyer expects man to

case of a Northern California girl held captive
for 18 years said Monday
he expects defendant
Phillip Garrido to plead
guilty to all charges and
his wife to go to trial

defendant Nancy Garrido,
Phillip Garrido said her husband will like-

Thursday at a pretrial conference.
“Unless some hitch develops, I’m 99 per-
cent sure Phil will ‘plead to the sheet’ and
possibly be sentenced at the same time if (the)
judge has figured out the correct number of
hundreds of years,” Tapson said, explaining he
learned of the development from discussions
with a lawyer for Phillip Garrido and the pros-
ecutor in the case.

GOP readies short term bill
House Republicans plan third stopgap to avoid shutdown
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With budget talks dead-
locked, House Republicans drafted a one-week
bill Monday night to cut spending by $12 bil-
lion, fully fund the Pentagon and avert a gov-
ernment shutdown threatened for Friday.
At the same time, they disclosed plans to
instruct lawmakers “on how the House would
operate in the event Senate Democrats shut
down the government.”
The display of brinksmanship came at the end
of a day marked by increasing acrimony in
budget negotiations, and drew a sarcastic
response from Democrats.
“House Republicans should focus on negoti-
ating, not planning dress rehearsals for a shut
down that the Tea Party so desires,” said Jon
Summers, a spokesman for Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

State lawmaker promotes Ariz.-like immigration bill
By Lien Hoang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — A Tea Party member
promoted an anti-illegal immigration bill
Monday that is loosely modeled after one that
drew attention to Arizona last year.
The bill by Republican state Assemblyman
Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County
would go after so-called sanctuary cities and
employers who hire illegal immigrants. The
Assembly Judiciary Committee was expected
to consider the bill Tuesday.
It has little chance of surviving the
Democratic-controlled Legislature.
AB26 does not include language similar to
the most high-profile provision of the Arizona
law, which directed law enforcement officers
negotiating a solution that
would prevent a govern-
ment shutdown.”
In a closed-door meeting
with the GOP rank and file,
House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, laid out
plans to have the shutdown-
averting measure ready, in
John Boehner case no agreement is
reached with the White
House and Democrats on a bill to close out the
budget year.
Apart from the Pentagon money and spend-
ing cuts, officials said additional provisions may
be included, a possible indication Republicans
will try to force Democrats to accept some of
their non-spending priorities.
With little progress evident toward a long-
term compromise, Obama invited key lawmak-
ers to the White House in search of a deal.
“Time is of the essence,” said White House
to check the citizenship
status of anyone they sus-
pect of being in the country
illegally. Critics said that
provision encourages
racial profiling.
The sponsor of the
Arizona bill, state Senate
President Russell Pearce,
Tim Donnelly said at a rally Monday with
Donnelly that his proposal
was not divisive and merely enforces the law.
“Controversial with who? Those who sup-
port the law versus those who don’t?” said
Pearce, a Republican.
Most portions of the Arizona law are on
hold as it is being contested in federal court.

Congress has already passed a pair of stopgap

Officials declined to say when Republicans
planned to send the new bill to the Senate, but
with a deadline of Friday, it seemed possible the
weekend would be consumed with maneuver-
ing.
A one-week measure that contains an addi-

“One of the things I’ve always been in favor
of is more legal immigration,” he said, adding
that his wife descended from immigrants.
The lawmaker said the influx of immigrants
should compel the United States to help
Mexico tackle structural problems that
encourage its citizens to migrate north.
He also raised the possibility of bringing in
immigrants to work for part of the year before
returning them to their home countries.
Other provisions of his bill would increase
punishment of sex and drug traffickers and
other smugglers. It calls for penalties to dis-

illegally and requires citizenship verification
for anyone applying for public benefits.

Obama opens bid for new term
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — No longer the
fresh voice of change, President Barack
Obama embarked on a bid for re-election
Monday by asking a divided, anxious
electorate to let him finish the job he won
in 2008. He’s getting an early start
against a Republican field that’s still
undefined, but he’s saddled with an ailing
economy that still isn’t working for mil-
lions of voters.
Obama began with an effort to recap-
ture his outsider’s touch of 2008, bypass-
ing a public statement from the White
House in favor of an email sent to mil-
lions of supporters.
He offered a kickoff video in which
official Washington is ignored and even
Obama himself only makes a fleeting
appearance. What the campaign wanted
voters to see instead were people like
them speaking of real-life concerns and
their faith in Obama, against wholesome
backdrops in every clip: a church, a farm,
a family in a kitchen, an American flag.
He told supporters later in the day he
needs their help again, perhaps more than
he did four years ago, because “we may
not have the exact same newness that we
had in 2008.”
“But that core spirit ... is still there and
it’s still in you and so I hope that even
though we’re a little older and a little
wiser now than we were back in 2007
and 2008, I hope everybody is ready to
run that race one more time,” Obama said
in a conference call with backers.
Southwest accident prompts FAA inspection order
By Bob Christie and Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Federal aviation offi-

gency inspections on 80 U.S.-registered
Boeing 737 jetliners like the one on
which a piece of fuselage tore open more
than 30,000 feet above Arizona last
week.
The order, to be issued Tuesday, is
aimed at finding weaknesses in the metal
in the fuselage, but virtually all of the
affected aircraft will have already been
inspected by the time the order takes
effect.
A 5-foot-long hole opened up in the

Barack Obama speaks at a campaign rally in Minneapolis,Minn.
This time around, Obama carries both
the benefits and baggage of being the
establishment candidate.
The president now owns an economy
that is adding jobs but still leaving mil-
lions of people without help or work. As
the incumbent, he can blow into town on
Air Force One, draw unparalleled free
media coverage and command all the
other perks of the presidency. But he
must also remobilize his coalition and
reenergize it, too, including getting back

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
A huge part of his challenge will be to
spark the voter inspiration that often got
lost in the slog of governing. His new
campaign video gave a nod to the chal-
lenge. A woman named Alice from
Michigan said: “We’re paying him to do

us all energized?’ So we better figure it
out.”
riers like Southwest put on their alu-
minum-skinned aircraft and the adequa-
cy of the inspections.
Cracks can develop from the constant
cycle of pressurizing the cabin for flight,
then releasing the pressure upon landing.
Since there had been no previous acci-
dents or major incidents involving metal
fatigue in the middle part of the fuse-
lage, Boeing maintenance procedures
called only for airlines to perform a
visual inspection.
But airlines, manufacturers and feder-
al regulators have known since at least
1988 that planes can suffer microscopic
fractures. That year, an 18-foot section

737-200 peeled away in flight, sucking

CHP cracking down on cellphone use by drivers
The California Highway Patrol is joining local law enforce-
ment agencies throughout the Bay Area in stepping up enforce-
ment of laws regarding cellphone use while driving as part of
the state’s first-ever Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
Starting Monday and continuing throughout April, the CHP
and more than 250 local agencies statewide will be conducting
zero tolerance enforcement programs targeting people using a
cellphone to text or make a call without a hands-free device.
The first violation of the laws costs a minimum of $159, and
subsequent tickets will cost $279, according to the CHP.
“We take the issue of distracted driving very seriously,” CHP
Golden Gate Division Chief Teresa Becher said in a statement.
“Is that text message or cellphone call really worth $159?”
Studies show that drivers who use hand-held devices are four
times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure them-
selves, with young, inexperienced drivers most at-risk to die in
a distraction-related crash.
Studies have also found that texting while driving can delay
a driver’s reaction time just as much as having the blood alco-
hol content of a legally drunken driver.
“We just want drivers to use some common sense when
they’re behind the wheel and focus on driving,” Christopher
Murphy, director of the state’s Office of Traffic Safety, said in a
statement.
“Think about the vast majority of calls and texts you send or
receive everyday,” Murphy said. “Were any really worth a $159
ticket - or worse, a crash, injury or death? It’s just not worth it.”
Two Bay Area flights within 12 hours diverted
A United Airlines plane headed to San Francisco from New
Orleans MOnday morning had to make an emergency landing
after experiencing mechanical problems, an airline spokesman
said.
The incident came about 12 hours after another Bay Area
flight had to be diverted, this one a Southwest Airlines plane
headed from Oakland to San Diego on Sunday night, due to a
burning electrical smell in the cabin.
Hundreds of other Bay Area flights had also been canceled or
delayed since a hole tore open in a Southwest plane going to
Sacramento from Phoenix on Friday.
Shortly before 7:10 a.m. local time, United Airlines Flight
497 took off from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport with 104 passengers and five crewmembers on board,
airport spokeswoman Michelle Wilcut said.
Minutes later, the crew reported smoke in the cockpit of the
Airbus A320 plane and returned to New Orleans for an emer-
gency landing, Wilcut said.
After touching down at the airport, the plane’s nose wheel
went off the edge of the runway, she said. All passengers and
the crew evacuated the plane through emergency slides, and no
injuries were reported.
The passengers were taken to the airline’s facility at the air-
port and had not been transferred to another flight as of 9:30
a.m., she said.
In Sunday night’s incident, there were 137 passengers and
five crewmembers aboard Flight 1588, which took off from
Oakland International Airport at 7:17 p.m.
While headed to San Diego, the pilot detected “some sort of
electrical smell” in the plane’s cabin, and diverted the flight to
Los Angeles International Airport “out of an abundance of cau-
tion,” Southwest Airlines spokesman Brad Hawkins said.
The plane safely landed in Los Angeles, and the passengers
were transferred to a different airplane. They then continued
their flight to San Diego, where they landed at 10:28 p.m.

ing the authority to terminate a $9 million
contract with Ogilvy Public Relations
Worldwide.
Ogilvy, with an office in San Francisco,
was awarded the contract to handle the rail
authority’s public relations in November,
2009.
“Since Ogilvy’s engagement in February
2010, its inadequate performance can be
measured, by among other things, the wors-
ening legislative, media, academic and popu-
lar comments in the public domain about our
project,” Kopp wrote in the letter to van Ark.
So far, Ogilvy has charged the authority
more than $2.4 million for little more than a
“plan,” Kopp said.
In the letter to van Ark, Kopp details a long
list of invoices from Ogilvy he disapproved
of including $1,500 spent for someone to
read news clips related to the authority for a
little more than three hours in April 2010.
But it doesn’t stop there, the authority was
also charged another $5,560 in the same
month to have two other groups review media
related to the rail authority. Another $5,400
was billed to the authority by Ogilvy for press
clipping services in May 2010.
Ogilvy also billed the rail authority more
than $10,000 in June to have a law firm
review news coverage of high-speed rail and
two other groups review news clips.
LOCAL/NATION
The families of those
killed in the Sept. 11
attacks have waited
almost a decade for jus-
tice, and “it must not be
delayed any longer,”
Attorney General Eric
Holder told a news con-
ference at the Justice
Eric Holder Department.
There is an invoice from Robinson
Communications Inc. for professional con-
sulting services for $10,000 which are unde-
fined, according to Kopp’s letter. Robinson, a
San Jose company, has a contract with Ogilvy
to now provide public relations for the project
on the Peninsula. That job formerly went to
HNTB, an engineering firm contracted to
design the Peninsula segment of the high-
speed rail project.
Robinson also billed the authority $1,500
to have staff attend the groundbreaking of the
Transbay Terminal in San Francisco in
August.
“What taxpayer waste,” Kopp wrote in the
letter to van Ark.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park
chairs the Budget Subcommittee on
Resources and Transportation and is ready to
review the authority’s finances in the coming
months.
“There are questions on the contract that
exist for public relations,” Gordon said. “It is
of concern.”
It is time for the authority to engage the
public more in the process, Gordon said.
Gordon wants to see high-speed rail built in
the state but also said “every public dollar
spent” should be accounted for.
Ogilvy has now assigned one person to
work directly with the rail authority in
Sacramento to remedy some of the firm’s
problems, Katherine Strehl of Menlo Park.
But Strehl has served as a member of the
Menlo Park Transportation Commission, a
fact that does not sit well with Kopp consider-
ing the city previously sued the rail authority.
In November 2009, Holder had announced
the plan for a New York trial blocks from
where the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks destroyed
the World Trade Center. That idea was thwart-
ed by widespread opposition from
Republicans and even some Democrats, par-
ticularly in New York.
Congress passed legislation that pro-
hibits bringing any detainees from the
U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay,
“I informed you, and I repeat, that Ms.
Strehl is not competent to serve in a capacity
which places her inside the authority offices,
with a conflicting loyalty to a party suing us,”
Kopp wrote in the letter to van Ark dated
March 23.
Kopp has since been replaced on the rail
authority board by Robert Balgenorth, presi-
dent of the California Building and
Construction Trades Council.
Kopp, from San Francisco, will still advo-
cate for the project, however.
“I wrote Steinberg and told him I didn’t
want to be reappointed,” Kopp said. “I am
pursuing other opportunities to serve the pub-
lic.”
Although, the former judge believes the
800-mile project linking San Francisco to Los
Angeles will one day be fully realized, he told
the Daily Journal sitting on the board was no
longer a joy.
“It isn’t fun like it used to be,” Kopp, 82,
said.
His last board meeting was March 30, when
the board voted to pursue more than $2.4 bil-
lion in federal stimulus money earmarked for
high-speed projects in Florida.
Five members of the board are appointed by
the governor, two by the state Senate and two
by the Assembly.

hopes the same thing.
“We’ve been asking the authority for years
to have someone from the Peninsula on the
board,” Nagel said. “There has been an
absence of information and it is trouble get-
ting the authority to answer any questions.”
With the high-speed rail project starting in
the Central Valley, the authority should now
have the time to offer up more details on
noise, vibration or trenches on the San
Francisco-to-San Jose section of the line,
Nagel said.
The nine-member board currently has one
vacant seat to be appointed by the state Senate
in the coming weeks. In December, Rod
Diridon Sr. was not reappointed the board by
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Diridon, a for-
mer Santa Clara County supervisor, represent-
ed the region’s perspective on the board.
“It is a good idea to have representative
from Silicon Valley on the high-speed rail
board because of our population and econom-
ic center,” said Steve Wright, spokesman for
the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. “It is a
very long process, though, and the board will
be around for a long time.”
Voters approved Proposition 1A, a $9.5 bil-
lion bond, on the November 2008 ballot.
Michael Law, Ogilvy’s managing director
for the western region, did not want to com-
ment on Kopp’s claims yesterday.
“I can say, we are enthusiastic about high-
speed rail and are looking forward to the proj-
ect being completed,” Law said.

CALPERS irresponsible return rate
— The San Bernardino County Sun
T
he worker-dominated board of the
nation’s largest public pension pro-

is willing to put our children and grandchil-

rent interests.
Ignoring the recommendation of its own

chorus of financial experts, the directors of
the California Public Employees’ Retirement
System clung to their optimistic and risky
assumption that it will earn an average 7.75
percent annually on its investments during
the next 19 years.
It’s a stunning decision with profound
implications. In the short run, the higher the
assumed rate, the less money government
employers, including the state, will be
required to pay into the system now to cover
future benefits. That means they will put less
pressure on workers to contribute more to
their pensions or to accept lower compensa-
Letters to the editor
The continued legacy
of Geraldine Ferraro
Editor,
Thank you for your “Other Voices” column
in the March 31 edition of the Daily Journal in
memory of Geraldine Ferraro. Besides her role
in opening the door to women in politics, there
is another thing for which I am grateful to her.
From 1994 to 1996, Ferraro was the
American ambassador to the U.N. Human
Rights Commission in Geneva. At that time,
one quarter of all the resolutions adopted by
the commission were critical of Israel alone,
and just as today, silent on almost all horrific
violations of human rights committed around
the world by other states. This was the situa-
tion into which Ferraro had stepped.
Anne Bayefsky of the Hudson Institute fre-
quently writes about the hypocrisy of the U.N.
and its Israel-bashing members. At the time,
she was an adviser to the Canadian delegation
at a meeting of the U.N. “Western European
and Others Group.” It became clear at this
meeting that the Europeans had caved to Arab
and Muslim states and were prepared to agree
on proposals for “reform” that left the Israel-
demonization agenda item in place. Per
Bayefsky: “In walked Geraldine Ferraro. I
don’t remember her staying long or saying
much. She just said no. Such a reform sham
was not consistent with American values and
the United States would not be part of it. She
couldn’t be bullied by the multilateral pressure
to appear ‘cooperative.’”
May Geraldine Ferraro’s honorable moral
compass inspire our political leaders today.

tion elsewhere.
But if the investments don’t live up to
expectations, taxpayers in the future will be
on the hook to make up the difference. Thus
it’s in workers’ interests to keep the assumed
rate high, for it keeps their costs down and
lets future taxpayers bear more risk.
While we can’t predict investment returns
with any certainty, many are questioning how
CalPERS can expect to earn such large
returns. Some are saying that 5 percent to 6
percent is more realistic. Some say even
that’s too high.
The system’s own actuary suggested only
lowering the rate to 7.5 percent.
But even that was too much for the system
board, whose members are current and
retired employees; appointees of the gover-
nor; and key elected statewide officials.
The vote was 7-3. Only two holdovers
ate with the state with respect to “state
employees unions pay and benefits,” it’s hard
to imagine why the “state employees’ unions”
always come out on top. Then the unions turn
around and line the pockets of Democrats for
giving then what they want, and the ball keeps
rolling along. Corporations may buy
Republicans, the unions buy government.
When private companies and unions negotiate,
they both have skin in the game. Well, not so
with the state, they just raise taxes to pay for
whatever they give away, and everyone is
happy. Why should the citizens of California
be expected to pay for “pension spiking,”
“retroactive pension benefit increases” and
“cash payments to raise pension benefits.” This
is absolutely taking advantage of the taxpayer.
As far as I’m concerned, public employees are
not “the middle class,” they are the protected
class.
As for the budget, we as Californians have
paid our taxes expecting these idiots at the
state Capitol to run this state soundly and now
that they have run it into the ground, they
expect us to pay “again” to bail them out. Let
them find another $14 billion to cut, I don’t
want to give them one more dime to waste. I
don’t think the state would be running out here
to put gas in my car if I couldn’t afford to do
it. The state is almost insolvent now, it’s just a
matter of someone pronouncing the body dead,
if that is the only way they will learn, then so
be it.

Personally, that should be grounds to decertify

ior. If you don’t get your way as an American

Replace tax system
Editor,
Once again tax season is upon us, which
means we have to go on the deduction hunt
game.
There are 535 people, plus one person who
make up the rules of the big deduction hunt
game (Congress and the President). The rules
are called the federal tax code, made up of
some 9 million plus words.
Your state legislature is just as meddle-
some.
To put an end to this big source of govern-
ment angst, I propose we replace the entire
tax system with the fair tax, “fairtax.org.” A
simple national sale tax where as President

Don’t worry, as those people on the bottom

ou weren’t calling 911, were
you?” The question, pulled over
by the California Highway Patrol
officer, nearly made me laugh.
Certainly, I wasn’t seeking immediate help
while speaking on my
cellphone when driv-
ing. Granted, I was
frantically making
excuses to the voice on
the other end of why I
was running late and
ever-so-slightly
stretching the truth of
my estimated arrival
time. Doesn’t that
count as an emergency
situation? And, I was
warned by that same
voice, if I was exceeding late yet again to a
planned function, a solid pummeling wasn’t
completely out of the question. That most defi-
nitely counts as a potential emergency.
But instead, sheepishly, I told the truth when
queried by the officer.
“No, sir, I was not. And I know better.”
That’s right. I certainly know better. But the
real question is, do I do better?
Um, not so much as my pit stop on the side
of the road can attest.
Forgive me, Sen. Joe Simitian, but I tend to
blatantly disregard the cellphone driving and
texting laws you worked so hard to pass in
California. Something tells me I’m not alone, at
least based on the number of folks I see navi-
gating traffic with their hand plastered directly
to their ear. Yet, everybody doing something
doesn’t make it right. At least, that excuse was-
n’t going to help me in the eyes of the officer,
Simitian or anybody else who doubts the ability
to multi-task while driving.
The feeble justification particularly won’t fly
this month when law enforcement agencies
around the Bay Area crack the whip a little
harder to insure drivers like me don’t disregard
the law. Zero-tolerance, the press announce-
ments say.
There was certainly no tolerance from the
officer I encountered a few months back. In
fact, I received $160 worth of no tolerance,
although was thankfully spared any sort of stern
lecture on the dangers of distracted driving.
Because, again, if the speeches and the stud-
ies and, frankly, the horrible stories of people
injured or killed by talking drivers who looked
away for just a split second haven’t modified
my behavior, yet another lecture on the side of
the road at the end of a long day wasn’t going
to do it.
What did do it was that ticket. Somehow a
financial kick in the butt makes me second-
guess picking up my phone — even when traf-
fic is at a stand still and I’m certain there’s no
chance of needing to make split-second driving
decisions. Somehow the idea of grieving fami-
lies and twisted metal couldn’t shake me from
my stubborn refusal to use my earpiece but
grudgingly writing a check to the traffic divi-
sion of San Mateo County court did.
Perhaps that’s not the most warm and fuzzy
admission but it’s true. Honestly, does it really
matter why I changed my behavior as long as I
did? Do we care if motorcyclists wear helmets
and car passengers seat belts from fear of tick-
ets or worry of traumatic injury? Or, are we
simply grateful that they do?
Although much, much better, I’m still not the
spokesgirl for hands-free driving. I hate — I
repeat, absolutely hate — wireless earpieces
which I attribute to having some sort of
deformed ear that just doesn’t like to hold ear-
bud-type contraptions. I still figure the chances
of me sideswiping the guardrail are greater
while fumbling for the piece in my crowded
center console than hitting a button on the
phone “favorites” menu and rattling on.
Besides, what about Words With Friends?
Spelling a word on the Scrabble-like board isn’t
technically texting. Or, what about reading
news headlines on the way to work? No
spelling or talking involved in that activity.
I think I know the answers to those ones,
even as I continue my scofflaw driving ways on
those points.
And certainly it’s just a matter of time until a
nice officer with a hefty citation book is ready
to pull me over again with a pricey reminder.

HOUSTON — The only thing that could stop Kemba
Walker and Connecticut’s amazing run was the final
buzzer.
On a night when the massive arena felt like a dusty old
gym, UConn made Butler look like the underdog it real-
ly was, winning the national championship Monday
night with an old-fashioned, grinding 53-41 beatdown of
the Bulldogs.
Walker finished with 16 points for the Huskies (32-9),
who won their 11th straight game since closing the reg-
ular season with a 9-9 Big East record that foreshadowed
none of this.
They closed it out with a defensive showing for the
ages, holding Butler to a 12-for-64 shooting. That’s 18.8
percent, the worst ever in a title game, which made for an
ugly overall night but turned into the kind of game a
grizzled old coach like Jim Calhoun could love.
At age 68, he became the oldest coach to win the
NCAA championship and joined John Wooden, Adolph
Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as only the fifth
coach to win three NCAA titles.
“It may be the happiest moment of my life,” Calhoun
said.
Calhoun designed this win by accepting the reality that
the rim was about as wide as a pancake on a defensive-
minded night in Houston, by making his players pound
the ball inside and insisting on the kind of defense that
UConn played during this remarkable run, but which
often got overshadowed by Walker’s theatrics.

Taking a glance at the week Aragon’s

Stanford women still waiting for another title

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — Stanford is thrilled
to be a Final Four regular again. Yet
that hardly makes it any easier for the
Cardinal players or their coach to
keep coming home without a trophy.
Tara VanDerveer’s team is 0-for-4
in chances at the championship in
four straight trips to women’s basket-
ball’s biggest stage, still left looking
for the school’s first national title
since 1992.
This time, the top-seeded Cardinal
are coming back to campus a couple
of days earlier than expected after
falling 63-62 to Texas A&M in the
national semifinals Sunday night in
Indianapolis. Stanford again heads
into the offseason disappointed and
left to wonder why things didn’t work
out with another deep and talented
team.
There were so many other mile-
stones to cherish this season — and
now there’s the
one that didn’t
happen.

to the Naismith
Memorial
Basketball Hall
of Fame, became

Connecticut to snap the two-time
defending champion Huskies’ record
90-game winning streak.
Seniors Kayla Pedersen and
Jeanette Pohlen capped a perfect run
at Maples Pavilion for their four-year
careers with a second-round NCAA
victory against St. John’s, extending
the program’s school-record winning
streak to 63 games. They were part of
the first class at Stanford to ever go
unbeaten at home.
Stanford (33-3) took a 27-game
winning streak into the game with the
second-seeded Aggies.
“It’s hard. I mean, it’s an awful feel-
ing,” Pedersen said. “But ... the hard-
est part isn’t losing the game, it’s just
leaving these girls. And I just thank
God for every opportunity I’ve had
with these girls over the last weekend,
four years, and it’s been wonderful.
So, I mean, I’m happy to be with them
right now and I’m happy to lose with
this team, if we did have to lose.”
A year ago, it was Pedersen who
said she didn’t want to have to say she
was part of four consecutive Final
Four teams that never took the next
step. Stanford led UConn by eight
points at halftime of the 2010 NCAA
title game only to lose 53-47. In 2008,
the Cardinal ended a 10-year Final
Four drought and rode Candice
Wiggins to the title game before
falling to Tennessee.
VanDerveer, who shared AP Coach
of the Year honors this season with
UConn’s Geno Auriemma and Katie
Meier of Miami, said losing the title
last year fueled her to be a better
coach, to work even harder.
The Hall of Fame award Monday
was thrilling but came on a “tough”
morning. VanDerveer spent countless
hours preparing for Texas A&M after
it shocked top-seeded Baylor in the
regional finals. The Aggies’ aggres-
sive, in-your-face pressure defense
made it tough for Stanford to find its
usual offensive rhythm.
The Cardinal committed an unchar-
acteristic 22 turnovers, seven of those
by point guard and Pac-10 Player of
the Year Pohlen.
“We watched a lot of video. And we
saw that their offense was their
defense. They get a lot of steals. They
get a lot of turnovers. And they pro-
duce by turning the ball over,” said
junior forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike,
who provided the highlight with 31
points on 10-for-15 shooting to go
with seven rebounds. “We tried our
best to really kind of find our way
around it. It became a little bit more
disruptive at the end, and I definitely
give them kudos for that defense. It
was really hard to get open. And we
really tried our best.”
Now, it will be up to Ogwumike
and star younger sister, Chiney — the
Pac-10 Freshman of the Year — to
lead Stanford into another season with
high expectations of returning to the
Final Four and winning it all.
Yet VanDerveer knows how hard
this latest near-miss will be for her
seniors and everybody else to deal
with in the coming days.
“I’m really proud of our team, with
what we’ve gone through and all the
growth this team has had,”
VanDerveer said. “It’s not about me.
It’s about them. I can have another
chance, but I feel bad for Kayla and
Jeanette. They wanted this. They
worked hard. They dedicated them-
selves and committed themselves to
this team and this program. And I
can’t say enough positive things about
them and what they’ve brought to
Stanford and how proud I am of
them.”

said. “The adjustment was we were
going to out-will them and outwork
them.”
Connecticut outscored Butler by
an amazing 26-2 in the paint. The
Bulldogs (28-10), in their second
straight title game and hoping to put
the closing chapter on the ultimate
“Hoosiers” story, went a mind-
numbing 13 minutes, 26 seconds in
the second half making only one
field goal.
During that time, a 25-19 lead
turned into a 41-28 deficit. This for
a team that never trailed Duke by
more than six during last year’s epic
final.
That time, Gordon Hayward’s
desperation halfcourt heave
bounced off the backboard and rim,
was celebrating before the buzzer
sounded, Calhoun pumping his fists
and hugging an assistant while the
Huskies ran to the sideline and
soaked in the confetti.
The version of “Hoosiers” with
the happy ending is still available on
DVD.
UConn, meanwhile, gets the real
celebration.
Joining Walker in double figures
were Jeremy Lamb with 12 points,
including six during UConn’s pull-
away run, and Alex Oriakhi with 11
points and 11 rebounds.
Just as impressive were the stats
UConn piled up on defense. Four
steals and 10 blocks, including four
each by Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith,
and a total clampdown of Butler’s
biggest stars, Matt Howard and
Shelvin Mack. Howard went 1 for
13 and Mack went 4 for 15.
Butler’s 41 points were 10 points
fewer than the worst showing in the
game. (Michigan scored 51 in a loss
to Duke in 1992), and the 18.8 per-
cent shooting broke a record that
had stood since 1941.
It’s been a rough year for the
Huskies and their coaching lifer,
whose season was tarnished by an

Calhoun failed to create an atmos-
phere of compliance in the program.
He admitted he wasn’t perfect and
has begrudgingly accepted the
three-game suspension he’ll have to

Then again, given this perform-

and-done.

In the PAL, there hasn’t been anyone to
give Pedro much of a challenge. That was
evident last week. Against Westmoor,
Pedro won both the 1600 and 3200 meters
comfortably with 4:37.6 and 10:01.02
respectively. They were slow times by his
standards, but they were plenty good to
win.

“I find it really remarkable to be hon-
est,” Hunt said of Pedro. “I’ve watched
other kids, they have a plan I take it, but
sometimes they get beyond the plan
because they get sucked up in the moment
and somebody takes off like crazy they go
with him and all of a sudden they’re run-
ning the other person’s race.”
Pedro wasn’t done though. A day later
in Los Gatos the plan was for Pedro to
qualify for the Frosh/Soph Top 8 on April
22 by finishing in the top three of the
3200 and 1600 meter races.
In the 1600 he did just that, finishing the
race in 4:42.80. A couple of hours later
Pedro laced his sneakers up again and
knocked out the fastest time of the night
with a time of 9:43.60. Admittedly they
weren’t his fastest times, but if there’s a

him struggle in the playoffs last year — one

you still see players with batting averages in

Heart deaths in NCAA — 1 per 44,000 By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The death of a Michigan
teenage basketball player has renewed ques-
tions about what kind of heart checkup young
athletes need to make the team, and a new
study may influence that debate.
Cardiac arrest, when the heart abruptly stops
beating, is very rare in young people, especial-
ly among healthy young athletes.
When it does happen — like last month
when high schooler Wes Leonard collapsed
minutes after a game-winning shot in
Fennville, Mich. — the deaths make big head-
lines.
The recurring debate is over whether to add
routine EKGs to young athletes’ pre-sports
checkups. The goal is to find those at risk
because of underlying heart conditions before
strenuous exertion triggers trouble.
Just how rare is cardiac arrest among young
athletes? There’s no official count. Estimates
range from about 66 deaths a year to more than
100 among athletes under age 40.
University of Washington researchers took a
closer look NCAA athletes only. They tracked
an NCAA database of athlete deaths, news
media reports and insurance records.
They uncovered 45 heart-related deaths over
five years among these elite student-athletes,
an average of nine a year.
The risk equates to one death among rough-
ly every 44,000 NCAA athletes, Dr. Kimberly
Harmon, a University of Washington sports
medicine specialist, reported Monday in the
journal Circulation.
She found the risk highest among basketball
players, followed by swimmers.
“The question becomes, do we need to do a
better job at finding who these kids are,” says
Harmon, who would like both college and high
school athletes to receive an EKG screening.
Cardiac arrest,when the heart abruptly stops beating,is very rare in young people,especially “I don’t think that’s all that rare,” adds co-
among healthy young athletes.When it does happen — like last month when high schooler author and fellow University of Washington
Wes Leonard, right, collapsed minutes after a game-winning shot in Fennville, Mich. — the associate professor Dr. Jonathan Drezner.
deaths make big headlines. “Young athletes are not supposed to die doing
what they love.”
The American Heart Association recom-
mends a thorough physical exam and detailed
family and personal medical history for every
athlete, but not an automatic EKG. The idea is
to look for red flags — like fainting episodes, a
heart murmur or whether a relative died young
THE DAILY JOURNAL
of a heart problem — that would prompt the
doctor to order further cardiac testing.
In contrast, the European Society of
Cardiology and the International Olympic
Committee recommend the addition of EKGs
— electrocardiograms, which measure a
heart’s electrical activity — to pre-sports
checkups.
Mandating EKGs, which can cost $25 to
$100, for millions of U.S. high school and col-
lege athletes isn’t practical, says Dr. Barry
Maron of the Minneapolis Heart Institute
Foundation, who helped develop the AHA
guidelines.
They don’t detect all the problems that can
lead to those deaths, says Maron. The new
study couldn’t tell the causes of players’
deaths, just that they were heart-related. Then
there’s the ethical question of testing only ath-
letes when youths not in organized sports
sometimes die of these same heart conditions.
“Each and every sudden death is of course
tragic,” says Maron. But, “they’re just not that
common.”
Moreover, EKGs can falsely signal a prob-
lem that requires more costly testing to rule
out. A study published last year found 16 per-
cent of routine athlete EKGs were those so-
called false-positives.
Maron says sports physicals don’t always
include all the guideline-recommended ques-
tions that would flag someone who needs more
intense screening.
A study from Italy a few years ago reported
a drop in athletes’ sudden cardiac deaths after
that country began mandating exams that
include an EKG. Last month, a study from
Israel found no change from adding EKGs.
Some U.S. colleges have begun recommend-
ing an EKG for all their athletes, and parent
organizations sponsor community screenings,
too.
At the University of Washington, Harmon
says adjusting the tests to an athlete’s some-
what different readings means that only 5 per-
cent falsely indicated a problem.
The University of Georgia gives incoming
athletes both an EKG and a more expensive
echocardiogram, an ultrasound exam that can
detect different problems. Typically one or two
students a year have some abnormality detect-
ed, often treatable ones, says sports medicine
director Ron Courson, a spokesman for the
National Athletic Trainers Association.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Fixing heart valves without surgery
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Cardiologists
are reporting a major advance: A long-
awaited study suggests that many peo-
ple with a bad aortic valve, the heart’s
main gate, can avoid open-heart sur-
gery and have a new one placed
through a tube in an artery instead.
There is a downside — a higher risk
of stroke — and uncertainty about how
long these valves will last.
Still, doctors predicted that if the
new valve wins federal approval,
patients would embrace it as they did
balloon angioplasty, which has allowed
millions to have clogged arteries fixed
without an operation.
“The fact that it’s not open-heart sur-
gery sells itself, and the rest gets lost in
the mix,” said Dr. Craig Smith, heart
surgery chief at Columbia University
and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
He led the study and gave results
Sunday at an American College of
Cardiology conference in New
Orleans.
Dr. Michael Crawford, chairman of
the meeting and cardiology chief at the
University of California, San
Francisco, called it “a historic event”
that would dramatically change prac-
tice. “As good as surgery is, patients
just don’t want it,” he said.
The aortic valve can stiffen and nar-
row with age, making the heart strain
to push blood through it. Severe cases
are treated with surgery to replace the
valve, but that’s risky for many older
people who have this problem.
Without an operation, half die within
two years.
The study tested a way to wedge in a
new valve without surgery. Dr. Edward
McNulty, a cardiologist at the
University of California, San
Francisco, explained how it works:
Through an artery in the groin or the
chest, “a new heart valve is literally
crimped on a balloon and advanced
across the narrowed, older, diseased

heart valve. The balloon is inflated and
the new valve left in place.”
A test of this gentler approach in
people too sick for surgery found it
greatly improved survival, doctors
reported last fall. The new study
involved nearly 700 people eligible but
at high risk for surgery.
Their median age was 84, and they
were randomly assigned to get valves
replaced through surgery or the new
way. Here’s how much people dread
this operation: 28 people withdrew
from the study or refused treatment
once they learned they had been placed
in the surgery group.
In the end, both groups did very well.
After one year, about 24 percent of
the artery patients and 27 percent of the
surgery patients had died — compara-
ble results in a study this size and con-
siderably fewer than researchers had
predicted.
However, strokes and other neuro-
logical problems were twice as com-
mon in the artery-treated group — 8
percent versus 4 percent. Previous
studies also found more strokes with
the artery approach.
Other complications were a trade-
off: Major bleeding and new cases of a
fluttering heartbeat called atrial fibril-
lation were more common after sur-
gery; there were more blood-vessel
problems with the artery approach.
Leakage was more common with the
new-style valve, too, though doctors
said that problem can get better with
time.
“It will take longer to figure that
out,” Smith said.
HEALTH Tuesday • April 5, 2011 17
The valve’s maker, Edwards
Lifesciences Corp. of Irvine, Calif.,
paid for the study, and some
researchers consult for the company.
Edwards is seeking federal approval to
sell the valve for inoperable patients
now, and plans to ask the same for less
ill patients like those in the new study
in a few months.
The company plans to charge
$30,000 for the valve, which is already
used in Europe. Another study present-
ed Sunday on the first group of patients
treated with it — those too sick for sur-
gery — put the total cost with doctor
fees and hospitalizations at $73,563.
However, in those patients, it proved
cost-effective — costs were higher for
hospitalizations of people who did not
get new valves.
Doctors caution that these are only
one-year results, and it will take at
least five years of study to know
whether these less invasive treatments
will be as good as surgically implanted
valves that typically last 20 years.
Having this option available for peo-
ple too sick to have surgery would be Gaphic of the Edwards SAPIEN valve. A study suggests that
great, but it’s too soon to say if it many people with bad aortic valves can have them replaced
should be used in less sick patients, through a tube into an artery instead of open-heart surgery.
said Dr. Elliott Antman, a Brigham and
Women’s Hospital cardiologist and
American Heart Association
spokesman.
Yet there is a big unmet need —
about 30 to 40 percent of people with
very bad aortic valves are not being
referred for surgery now, “and not all
of them are patients that are inopera-
ble,” said Dr. Ralph Brindis, a
California cardiologist who is presi-
dent of the cardiology college.
Charles Cohen, who will be 90 in
August, got an artery-placed valve two
years ago at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles, where he lives,
as part of the study.
“I was a little bit leery” of either
option, but was hoping for the catheter.
Before he had it, he could walk only a
block or so before having to stop to
rest. “Now I walk half a mile,” he said.

FDA proposes more calorie count information By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It could get
harder to indulge in a double
cheeseburger and fries without feel-
ing guilty.
Menu labeling requirements pro-
posed Friday by the Food and Drug
Administration will require chain
restaurants with 20 or more loca-
tions, along with bakeries, grocery
stores, convenience stores and cof-
fee chains, to clearly post the calo-
rie count for each item on their
menus.
“We’ve got a huge obesity prob-
lem in this country and it’s due in

immediately available for most items. The new rules will apply to
menus, both in restaurants and
drive-through lanes. They will also
apply to vending machines if calorie
information isn’t already visible on
the package.
The calorie counts will apply to
an estimated 280,000 establish-
ments and could be on menus by
2012. Required as part of health
overhaul legislation signed into law
last year, they are designed to give
restaurant diners information that

pushed to be left out after guidelines
published last year included them.
Alcohol will also be exempted,
according to the agency. Margo
Wootan, director of nutrition policy
at the advocacy group Center for
Science in the Public Interest, says
that could be misleading to con-
sumers.
“I think it’s going to be confusing
if customers see the calories for soft
drinks and juice labeled on the
menu but not other drinks such as
beer and wine,” she said. “It will
make it seem like they are better
choices.”
Still, Wootan says the guidelines
are a positive step.
“You won’t have to get out of line
and go back to some poster by the
bathroom and look at some item in
a tiny font size,” she says. “It will be
right there on the menu where you
are getting your other information
about what to order.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
INPUT
Continued from page 1
On Sept. 23, the CPUC created an inde-
pendent review panel of experts to study
and investigate what occurred Sept. 9
leading to the explosion and fire includ-
ing root causes, technical assessment and
recommendations to avoid a similar situ-
ation. The panel’s final report is expected
next month. Changes to the rules will be
presented at the end of these various
efforts, which Kotch estimated would
take several months possibly until the end
of the year.
The meeting comes one day after U.S.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood
announced a national pipeline initiative to
repair and replace aging pipelines while
visiting Allentown, Pa., where five people
were killed after a natural gasline failure
Feb. 9.
“People deserve to know they can turn
on the lights, the heat or the stove without
endangering their families and neigh-
bors,” LaHood said in a prepared state-
ment. “The safety of the American public
is my top priority and I am taking on this
critical issue to avoid future tragedies we
have seen in Allentown and around the
country.”
In March, LaHood asked major
pipeline companies across the country to
conduct a comprehensive review of pipes
and identify the highest risk lines and pri-
oritize repairs. LaHood also requested
Congress increase penalties for pipeline
violations from $100,000 per day to
$250,000 per day and from $1 million for

private company’s bid but did not release
any greater details, including the compa-
ny’s name, until Monday.
The private bid is a new twist to the
city’s search for a new fire service
provider and not one at the forefront of
previous discussions of what to do if
Belmont and San Carlos do not mend
their fractured relationship.
The baseline proposal would see costs
drop to $3.8 million in the second year
because it wouldn’t include startup costs
and then ramp up to $4.6 million by year
10. The more extensive option would
increase costs to $5.4 million in the 10th
and final year of the contract.
The last option is a substantial drop
from the $7.1 million annual cost and 30
percent cost increase San Carlos has
experienced over the past five years with
its joint fire department, according to the
proposal summary prepared by Assistant
City Manager Brian Moura.
“That means we could save $10 mil-
lion,” said Klein, estimating the city
would be paying $12 million to $14 mil-
lion for fire service if it kept the joint fire
department with Belmont intact and
adjusts for annual increases.
Klein said he was also struck by the
TRIAL

tent. The stipulation comes after several
evaluations by court-appointed doctors,
some of which required a judge to
approve extra funding for more in-depth
analysis. In the time since his first
assessment, one doctor who previously
found Hutchinson competent changed
his mind and jail psychiatric staff said he
has deteriorated in custody, Giannini
said.
“He might have been borderline
[incompetent] before but he’s certainly
so now and the onset of schizophrenia at
this age is not uncommon,” Giannini
said.
If he is ever deemed restored after hos-
pital treatment, Hutchinson will return to
San Mateo County and stand trial on
a series of violations to $2.5 million.
LaHood would like regulatory loopholes
closed, risk management requirements
strengthened, more inspectors and an
improved data reporting system for iden-
tifying issues.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Francisco, San Mateo, applauded
LaHood’s announcement.
“These are common sense, long over-
due improvements that can ultimately
save lives. San Bruno was a deadly wake-
up call to our nation’s aging pipeline
infrastructure. But current pipeline safety
laws largely rely on voluntary self regula-
tion by operators. Deadly accidents like
the ones in San Bruno and Allentown
show this is simply not good enough. We
must give regulators the power to estab-
lish strong safety requirements to protect
our communities and take strong enforce-
ment action to ensure those standards are
met,” she said in a prepared statement.
Speier co-authored legislation, the
company’s willingness to continue haz-
mat services, a 6 percent penalty if it
doesn’t meet performance standards and
plans to become accredited by the third
year or pay the city $100,000.
The San Carlos City Council will hear
formal presentations on proposals by
Wackenhut and Redwood City at an
April 18 meeting.
Redwood City submitted its original
$5.9 million bid months ago and has
since worked with San Carlos to tweak
the details. The two have also discussed
the hybrid, or federation, model that
mimics the structure used by North
County Fire. In that model, partner cities
share management but pay their own
firefighters.
The two cities are still working on that
proposal and it is expected to be finished
by the April 18 meeting. Klein expects
one meeting after will also be needed to
thoroughly vet the options and make a
decision.
The Wackenhut proposal did not out-
line firefighter and employee salaries but
Klein theorizes much of the savings will
come from offering 401(k) plans rather
that public employee pensions.
Klein also wants to know about the
company, including information about
customer satisfaction in its other con-
tracts. The company was awarded the
fire contract at San Jose International
Airport and currently provides fire and
emergency services at NASA Ames
murder and robbery charges and special
allegations that could send him to prison
for life without parole or death row for
the killing of Albert Korn.
Korn died two weeks after allegedly
encountering Hutchinson, 22, on the
afternoon of June 2, 2009. The death
was Belmont’s sole homicide that year.
The transient had allegedly entered a
back window of a home on the 2500
block of Hallmark Drive in Belmont and
authorities believe he beat Korn before
fleeing with his wallet and jewelry in the
man’s car.
Hutchinson was identified as the sus-
pect after being arrested for similar inva-
sions in West Sacramento. After being
convicted, Hutchinson was sentenced to
prison for six years and eight months
and sent back to San Mateo County.
Hutchinson returned to San Mateo
County in late January. In his second
court appearance in San Mateo County,
he announced wanting to plead not
DATEBOOK
Pipeline Safety and Community
Empowerment Act, to require periodic
inspections of pipelines and to require
automatic or remote shut-off valves on
gas pipelines.
In the meantime, the National
Transportation and Safety Board contin-
ues to study the event.
A 77-page report released in January
noted structural problems in three pieces
of a 30-inch pipe section of natural gas
pipeline that ruptured Sept. 9 in San
Bruno. While it didn’t give a cause for
the gas-fueled incident, it found that
some welds in the pipeline overseen by
Pacific Gas and Electric did not meet
standards set when the pipeline was
installed in the ’50s let alone current
requirements, according to the NTSB
report.
The report, which includes a 13-page
narrative with many photographs, tables
and examples, found no corrosion in the
interior or exterior of the pipe.
Originally, PG&E had indicated the
pipeline was seamless. It quickly became
apparent that it had a seam. Defects —
like incomplete fusion, grooves or irregu-
larly shaped welds — were found in
numerous places on seams along the
length and width of the pipeline.
Earlier this year, the NTSB made rec-
ommendations to PG&E including identi-
fying all gas transmission lines that have
yet to undergo testing for safe operating
pressure.
The meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to
10 p.m. Tuesday, April 5 at the San Bruno
Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs
Road in San Bruno.
Research Center in Mountain View.
Fire union President Ed Hawkins did
not return an inquiry for comment on the
bids to San Carlos but in an earlier
memo to the city manager called privati-
zation the wrong choice. In part,
Hawkins said a private company does
not offer taxpayers the same accounta-
bility as a public department.
Klein disagreed.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about.
The City Council is the governing body
and if we’re not happy we can pull the
contract,” he said.
He called private ambulance compa-
nies like American Medical Response a
good example for how the fire service
could be provided.
The city of San Carlos began last year
dissolving its fire service joint powers
authority with the city of Belmont in
hopes of stemming a decade of cuts and
plugging a $3.5 million deficit. Fire
service costs the city $6.3 million annu-
ally, which officials said is just too much
and led to the City Council sending
Belmont a letter of dissolution.
Under prodding by the county, the two
cities have agreed to mediation with a
retired judge but dates for the sit-down
have yet to be set.

guilty and that he hadn’t killed anybody.
He is also charged in an alleged Aug.
4 attack on two jail officers providing
security for a maintenance worker in his
cell.
Hutchinson’s competency was ques-
tioned in Yolo County and also in previ-
ous San Mateo County cases. In one
incident, approximately a year before
Korn’s beating, Hutchinson reportedly
yelled epithets and spit at one of two
women standing with their young chil-
dren at the Hillsdale Caltrain station in
San Mateo. He was sentenced to 120
days jail and probation.
Hutchinson remains in custody with-
out bail and will be formally placed in a
hospital on April 20. During that hear-
ing, Forcum could order Hutchinson
forcibly medicated.

Libyan opposition advances again
Rebels reject role
for Gadhafi’s sons
By Chritopher Torchia
and Alessandra Rizzo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISTANBUL — A diplomatic
push by Moammar Gadhafi’s
regime ran into trouble Monday as
opponents at home and abroad
rejected any solution to the Libyan
conflict that would involve one of
his sons taking power.
While a Gadhafi envoy lobbied
diplomats in European capitals,
Italy became the third nation to
declare that the rebels’ interim
council in Libya is the only legiti-
mate voice for the people of the
North African nation.
The diplomatic whirlwind could
signal a softening of his regime’s
hardline public stance against any
Japan nuke plant dumps radioactive water into sea
By Mari Yamaguchi
and Yuri Kageyama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Workers began
pumping more than 3 million gal-
lons of contaminated water from
Japan’s tsunami-ravaged nuclear
plant into the Pacific Ocean on
Monday, freeing storage space for
even more highly radioactive water
that has hampered efforts to stabi-
compromise that would end the
fighting and steer Libya toward a
political resolution.
Any long-term settlement poses
tough questions about the fate of
Gadhafi’s family and the new
leader of a post-Gadhafi nation.
Some of Gadhafi’s adversaries
quickly rejected the idea that any
of his powerful sons, some of
whom command militias accused
of attacks on civilians, might play a
transitional leadership role that
would undoubtedly protect the
family’s vast economic interests.
Gadhafi, who took power in a
1969 coup, has a legacy of brutali-
ty and involvement in terrorism but
was able to prolong his rule and
even emerge from pariah status
over the past decade with the help
of Libya’s immense oil wealth.
lize the reactors.
It will take about two days to
pump most of the less-radioactive
water out of the Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear complex, whose cooling
systems were knocked out by the
magnitude-9.0 earthquake and
tsunami on March 11.
Radioactivity is quickly diluted
in the ocean, and government offi-
cials said the dump should not
affect the safety of seafood in the
area.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BREGA, Libya — Rebel fighters
pushed back into this hard-fought
oil town on Monday, seizing half of
Brega and pledging to drive out
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s
forces in hours in an advance that
would open a vital conduit for oil
sales by the oppostion.
Control of Brega’s small refinery
and Mediterranean port could sig-
nificantly boost the rebels’ hunt for
revenues they can use to purchase
heavy weapons for the fight against
Gadhafi’s better-equipped troops
and militiamen.
Lightly armed and loosely organ-
ized opposition forces have surged
into and beyond Brega several times
in recent weeks from their strong-
holds in eastern Libya, only to be
driven out by Gadhafi loyalists
exploiting the rebels’ inability to hold
territory. In recent days the opposi-
tion has placed the front lines under
the control of former military men,
creating a more disciplined advance
against Gadhafi’s forces.
Since the disaster, water with dif-
ferent levels of radioactivity has
been pooling throughout the plant.
People who live within 12 miles (20
kilometers) have been evacuated
and have not been allowed to return.
The pooling water has damaged
systems and the radiation hazard
has prevented workers from getting
close enough to power up cooling
systems needed to stabilize danger-
ously vulnerable fuel rods.
On Saturday, they discovered that
“We’re more
organized now,
and that’s played
a big role,” said
Salam Idrisi, 42,
a rebel fighter.
The opposition
advanced under
artillery fire
throughout the
Moammar
day and took the
Gadhafi streets of New
Brega, a largely residential section
separated from the town’s oil facilities
by a stretch of highway and a univer-
sity campus, where the rebels were
battling Gadhafi fighters at close
range. “New Brega is under control of
our forces and we are mopping up
around the university,” said Lt. Muftah
Omar Hamza, a former member of
Libya’s air force who had a satellite
phone and a GPS around his neck.
The rebels also saw success
Monday in their efforts to establish
an internationally recognized gov-
ernment in eastern Libya, forging
tighter links with Britain and Italy,
both potentially major markets for
Libyan oil.
some radioactive water was pouring
into the ocean.
The less-radioactive water that
officials are purposely dumping into
the sea is up to 500 times the legal
limit for radiation.
“We think releasing water with
low levels of radiation is preferable
to allowing water with high levels
of radiation to be released into the
environment,” said Junichi
Matsumoto, an official with plant
operator Tokyo Electric Power Co.

Michel ‘Sweet Micky’
Martelly wins Haiti election
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti —
Haitian musician Michel Martelly
has pulled off a come-from-behind
victory in Haiti’s presidential race.
Haiti’s electoral council says prelim-
inary results show the performer
known as “Sweet Micky” received
nearly 68 percent of the votes in the
March 20 runoff.
Martelly has defeated former
Haitian first lady Mirlande Manigat,
according to the results announced
Monday by electoral council
spokesman Pierre Thibault.
Manigat led the first round of vot-
ing in November that winnowed a
field of 18 candidates down to two
for the runoff.
Many Haitians say they find
Martelly’s lack of political experi-
ence an asset in a country where the
government has provided few serv-
ices.
Troops fire on Yemen protest;
U.S. seeks Saleh exit
SANAA, Yemen — Military
forces and police snipers opened fire
Monday on marchers calling for the
ouster of Yemen’s embattled presi-
dent, killing at least 15 people and
sending a strong message of defi-
ance to U.S. and European envoys
seeking to broker a peace deal after
months of bloodshed.
The melee in the southern city of
Taiz — part of an intensifying
crackdown on the opposition —
underscored the resolve of President
Ali Abdullah Saleh to cling to power
even as protest crowds resist wither-
ing attacks and crucial allies switch
sides and call for his 32-year rule to
end.
