San Mateo officers awarded Medal of Valor
Four honored for stopping Hillsdale High School pipe bomb suspect
By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Four San Mateo policemen were among 10
officers awarded the state’s Public Safety
Officer Medal of Valor Tuesday morning for
their actions in apprehending a teenager who
showed up armed with pipe bombs and other
weapons at Hillsdale High School last year.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger presented the
medal — awarded to public safety officers for
extraordinary acts above and beyond the call of
duty — to San Mateo police Capt. Kevin
Raffaelli, and Officers Rick Apecechea, Jeff
Dellinges and Roberto Gonzales.
The four officers responded to Hillsdale High
on the morning of Aug. 24, 2009, after the sus-
pect, Alexander Youshock, who was 17 at the
time, allegedly entered the high school with a
tactical jacket that contained pipe bombs, a
chain saw and a sword.
Prosecutors allege he intended to harm
school staff and students.
The officers first assisted school staff, who
had tackled the armed Youshock and were
holding him on the ground.
When it was determined that Youshock’s vest
contained live explosives, none of the officers
backed off, even when Capt. Rafaelli, who was
holding Youshock down, ordered his three col-

Former police officer sentenced for gunplay
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The suspended Daly City police officer
accused of brandishing his firearm and a knife
at friends on two separate occasions — once
during a conversation on how to kill people and
another during an alleged confrontation over a
cell phone — was sentenced yesterday to 90
days in jail.
Nicholas Skourtis, 24, pleaded no contest to
misdemeanor charges of brandishing a firearm
and brandishing a knife. In return, he faced no
more than three months in jail instead of a pos-
sible year on each count. The 90 days will likely
be served through an alternative work program.
Skourtis was also placed on three years on
supervised probation and ordered to stay away
from the victims and not possess any weapons
or ammunition. He must also surrender the gun
and knife involved in the incident if they haven’t
already been given to the Daly City Police.
Authorities said Skourtis jabbed an acquain-
tance in the midsection five or six times with his
firearm at a Nation’s Giant Hamburgers in Daly
City on Sept. 25 in a dispute over a cell phone.
On Feb. 3, prosecutors say while at a Starbucks
in Burlingame he grabbed an acquaintance from
behind and put a knife to his throat while talk-
ing about how to kill somebody.
The Nation’s case was not reported to police
until a week after the second incident.
Skourtis was off duty at the time of each inci-
dent and has since been suspended from duty.
He had been on the force less than a year.
He has been free on his own recognizance
and must surrender to the county jail Oct. 23.

explosion from the area of a building on
Oracle Parkway before 9:07 a.m. Sunday,

A ‘Giant’ motivation to get fit
Former first baseman J.T.Snow visits Redwood City school
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Once seated, John Gill Elementary School
students slowly began to chant, “Giants.
Giants. Giants.”
Their little voices got louder in anticipation
Tuesday morning of hearing former Giants
first baseman J.T. Snow talk about fitness.
There was dancing, walking, running and
lots of activities on the Redwood City campus
yesterday as the focus was on a healthier
lifestyle during the “Make Time for Fitness”
celebration. The event also served as a kickoff
for International Walk to School Day, Oct. 6,
in which the Redwood City Elementary
School District along with many other dis-
tricts in the county plan to participate.
“It’s real important to get a lot of exercise
and eat healthy,” said Principal Josh Griffith.
“That’s what it’s all about.”
Snow echoed the principal’s sentiments. He
began his career in baseball at 6 and, after
retirement, has learned the need to continue
those healthy habits of physical activity and
monitoring food.
John Gill was the first of 20 schools to
receive a walking track four years ago through
a collaboration with the Sequoia Hospital and
the Redwood City School District, working
with the San Francisco Giants to teach chil-
dren about the importance of staying active,
eating right and being tobacco free.
“Teaching children to build healthy habits at
an early age is key to lifelong fitness,” said
Marie Violet, manager of Sequoia Hospital’s
Health & Wellness Center. “For more than 10
years, Sequoia has worked with the school
district and the Giants to bring Make Time for
Fitness into the schools. Kids and teachers
love the program, and we see measurable
improvement by the end of each year.”
Kids at John Gill use the walking track
daily. But yesterday’s trip around the blacktop

was unique as Snow joined the routine.
Last year, students began tracking their
walking with the help of parent Thea Henry-
Hamilton. She brought clipboards with the
names of teachers and the students in their
classes yesterday and placed them on the
fence. That way, kids could count the lap with
Snow, and other walking and running done
yesterday, toward their collective walking
goal.
Normally, students count their walking in
the morning. Since they began tracking, the
HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL
students have traveled a combined 3,000 miles
without leaving the blacktop. Originally, their
goal was to collectively walk 2,400 miles, the
equivalent distance to walk to the White
House, to “visit” with the first lady. That goal
has surpassed. Now they’re traveling to
Iceland and are currently somewhere in the
Atlantic Ocean.

Court rules that California is
dumping interns on poor schools
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals
court has ruled that California illegally classi-
fied interns as “highly qualified” teachers and
assigned them to schools in low-income and
minority areas.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
Monday in favor of poor families who claimed
the state was dumping uncredentialed teachers
on their schools. A Bush administration policy
adopted by a California commission held that
interns on track to receive teaching certifica-
tion could count as “highly qualified.”
The court found that those policies violated
the federal No Child Left Behind law, which
requires teachers have full state certification to
teach core subjects.
Residents suspected corruption in Bell
BELL — A few would-be whistleblowers
suspected for years that the government in this
working-class Los Angeles suburb was cor-
rupt and that leaders were secretly paying
themselves six-figure salaries.
But their attempts to uncover the scandal
were stifled at every turn by the city. They
claim they were mocked, insulted and intimi-
dated and that their public information
requests were shredded or falsified. They were
cut off or ignored at City Council meetings
when they tried to confront leaders.

Whitman said California has a govern-

“Nothing will get done.”

Another false San Bruno fire victim claim
Los Altos man charged with collecting $2K in gift cards,hotel room,rental car
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Los Altos man twice pretended
to be a victim of the San Bruno fires
to collect more than $2,000 in gift
cards, two weeks in a hotel room
and a rental car, according to prose-
cutors who charged him yesterday
with several felonies.
The day after the fatal Sept. 9
blaze, Daniel Stansbury, 41, went to
a victim aid center in San Bruno and
applied for help using a fake name
and the address of a home impacted
by the fire, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

cancel state budget meeting
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger and legislative
leaders abruptly canceled their
scheduled budget talks Tuesday,
hours after Schwarzenegger’s press
secretary blamed “union bosses” for
blocking pension reforms the gover-
nor insists are needed to solve the
state’s long-term financial problems.
Closed-door negotiations aimed at
a different name and address to seek
aid again.
Both times, Stansbury received a
$1,000 gift card as well as other gift
cards, a rental car and lodging for
nine days at the Hilton near San
Francisco International Airport and
nine days at a Hilton in San Jose,
Wagstaffe said.
After authorities discovered the
alleged fraud, they arrested
Stansbury in San Jose and reported
finding in his room $5,900 cash he
claimed was from an insurance pay-
out, 130 hydrocodone pills, forms
filled out with the fake information
and printouts of the disaster area in
San Bruno.
breaking the state’s record-long
budget impasse had been scheduled
for Tuesday afternoon until the gov-
ernor’s office released a message
saying that no such meeting would
take place.
Schwarzenegger’s press secretary,
Aaron McLear, and spokesmen for
Democratic and Republican leaders
insisted negotiations were still contin-
uing, but at the staff level. The leaders
will reconvene once the staff works
through some of the details, they said.

Local brief
Temporary funding approved
for early childhood education
A $1.5 million repayable loan
program to assist six local agencies
providing child-care and early child-
hood education was unanimously
approved by the First 5 San Mateo
County Commission Monday.
The vote was taken to help keep
vitally needed services and supports
to families in place in response to
the ongoing state budget crisis.
Many commissioners commented
that it is unfortunate that the posi-
tion exists, this is a course of action
that has to be taken.
Commissioner Rich Gordon, also
a county supervisor, made a motion
to earmark the funds for the bridge
loans and to have F5SMC staff
administer the program. Because
F5SMC funds cannot be used to
supplant state or local dollars, the
bridge loans will be repaid by the
agencies once the state budget is
passed.
Executive Director Debby
Armstrong pointed out, “Hopefully
we can avoid truly disastrous conse-
quences of early childhood educa-
tion centers having to shut down
because of a budget delay. There are
many agencies that have staff whom
are now volunteering their time and
working without pay.”
The Silicon Valley Community
Foundation Community has gener-
ously offered $25,000 to support the
administration of the repayable
bridge loan program.

Governor vetoes bill
to reject Texas curriculum
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger has vetoed a bill seeking to
prevent a revised social
studies curriculum
approved in Texas from
being taught in the
nation’s largest public
school system.
The governor said
Tuesday that the measure
is unnecessary and that the
Leland Yee state Board of Education
already has an adequate
curriculum review process.
The Texas school board adopted standards
in May asserting that the country’s Founding
Fathers were guided by Christian principles.
They also minimize Thomas Jefferson’s role
in world and U.S. history and highlight the
“unintended consequences” of affirmative
action.
Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee, the
author of SB1451, says the changes are his-
torically inaccurate and cannot be allowed in
California’s textbooks.
State allows sealing
murdered children’s records
SACRAMENTO — Autopsy reports of
slain children could be sealed permanently
under a bill signed into law by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger in response to several mur-
ders of children and teenagers in California
over the last year.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Matt Connelly
said Tuesday the governor signed the bill to
protect the privacy of victims’ families and
prevent more suffering for them.
The law lets family members request that
autopsies and other evidence be kept private if
their child was killed during a crime. The
request could be made only after a conviction,
under the bill by Senate Minority Leader
Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta.
County revved up over grand jury report
Officials in disagreement on vehicle fleet assessment
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Eliminating the county vehicle fleet main-
tained for employee use and simply reim-
bursing workers for driving their own cars
will not save money or limit liability,
according to county officials who disagreed
with much of what a civil grand jury recom-
mended earlier this year.
A committee including representatives
from the County Manager’s Office,
Department of Public Works, Sheriff’s
Office and other departments using county
vehicles will be appointed to evaluate the
fleets use and is expected to bring to the
Board of Supervisors in 2011 answers and
suggestions about overall fleet size,
overnight assignments, mileage reimburse-
ment, insurance requirements and software
needs.
That group’s conclusions might alleviate
the jury’s concerns that the fleet is “too
large, not cost effective and has no compre-
hensive oversight.”
County Manager David Boesch’s respons-
es to the July 6 report on the vehicle fleet
were approved by the Board of Supervisors
Tuesday before being sent to the civil grand
jury.
Although grand jury reports carry no legal
weight, recipients are required to respond in
writing within 60 days. Sometimes the
analysis sparks change, sometimes it is
denounced outright and sometimes it is used
to back up arguments by political leaders
and candidates.
The latter is true of the report on the
county’s motor fleet, with both District
Three supervisorial candidates Don Horsley
and April Vargas pointing to the benefit as
one area that should be addressed for cost
savings. Horsley has said that during his
time as the county’s
elected sheriff, he
reduced use of the
department’s motor pool.
The grand jury backed up
the claim by finding the
number of employees
with overnight vehicle
approvals had dropped
David Boesch from 64 to 36 for an esti-
mated savings of
$150,000 annually.
The jury found that the county spends
$6.4 million annually for the 741-vehicle
fleet of which 556 are assigned to specific
departments and individuals. The fleet cost
excluding replacement was nearly $3.1 mil-
lion in fiscal year 2009, according to the
jury.
Fifty-three of the cars are driven home
every night and the county picks up the tab
for commuting and liability. The theory is
that these employees in the Sheriff’s Office,
District Attorney’s Office and Probation
Department need to be available after-hours
for emergencies.
Of the elected officials granted a vehicle
allowance, only Sheriff Greg Munks and
Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe waived the benefit. Others receive
twice monthly stipends.
Cost savings were the key point of the
jury’s report which concluded the county
could save $1.7 million annually by reim-
bursing employees who drive their own cars
at 55 cents per mile rather than maintaining
a fleet of vehicles for use. The jury also
argued the county is leaving itself vulnerable
by not mandating the level of insurance
employees carry, restricting how far away
they can drive a car home and not better
tracking who uses the vehicles and for what.
Boesch disagreed that the vehicles aren’t
tracked, saying overnight vehicle assign-
ments are approved by his office and that the
Department of Public Works tracks vehicle
mileage and maintenance. Maintenance
costs have not increased dramatically since
2004 but the report appears that way because
the earlier figure doesn’t include fuel, main-
tenance and overhead included in the 2010
data, Boesch wrote.
County staff can also not create a scenario
in which it would recoup the suggested $1.7
million because it would require all non-
public safety personnel to drive to work and
some to own trucks that can operate in off-
road conditions. The county would also
mandate employees own or have access to a
personal vehicle which is “unreasonable,”
according to Boesch.
Personal car insurance requirements
would leave the county paying the difference
or place an undue burden on employees who
can’t easily absorb the extra cost.
The county does agree employees should
keep daily mileage and destination logs and
will train supervisors and managers on
enforcement. The county will also require
employees lock the vehicles when they leave
them but the reply concedes the policy is
largely unenforceable. The same is said for
prohibiting workers from carrying passen-
gers unless it is for county business.
Boesch did not agree or disagree with con-
clusions about the county’s car allowance
being higher than that of neighboring coun-
ties or a recommendation to limit the benefit
to elected officials and appointed depart-
ment heads. Both need further analysis
which Boesch said will be finished and
given to the Board of Supervisors by Dec.
10.

Contrary conservatives!
“O
ur choice in the
years ahead is either
demagoguery that
turns Americans further against one
another and the rest of the world or
genuine reform that enlarges shared
prosperity. It is the responsibility of
all of us to fight the former and
work for the latter.” — Robert
Reich, San Francisco Chronicle,
Aug. 22.
I just learned a new word (for
me) — troglodyte. It was used by a
man who called into a radio talk
show in reference to how the
Republicans keep blocking needed
legislation and opposing whatever
the Democrats wish to enact. So I
looked it up in my “Merriam-
Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary”
where the description included, “…
reclusive habits or outmoded or
reactionary attitudes.” On Google,
Mike Reed of “Flame Warriors,”
says: “Troglodyte has developed an
incoherent philosophy that he char-
acterizes as ‘conservative’ or ‘liber-
tarian,’ but which could be more
accurately described as ‘bigoted
narcissism.’” Seems it’s a word that
pretty well describes those conser-
vatives who don’t seem to give a
whit about anything but their taxes
and their “war” on Obama.
For instance, conservatives in the
Senate have refused for over a year
to allow the passage of an
improved food safety bill while
people keep suffering because of
tainted food that has resulted from
lack of FDA oversight and appro-
priate regulations. They tried to
block the extension of unemploy-
ment insurance for those who can’t
find a job during this recession. It
doesn’t bother them when millions
Gratitude for all
Lions Club members
Editor,
The Millbrae Lions Club was
one of the first responders at the
emergency service site in San
Bruno Sept. 9, coming to the aid of
the resident victims of the horren-
dous explosion. Millbrae Lions
members Ron Frediani, Anthony
Caccia and Don Byers were the
leaders of the club who helped to
acquire a former car carrier and,
with the help of others, trans-
formed it into a mobile kitchen,
available for emergencies in San
Mateo County.
At midnight, while emergency
service departments from all of San
Mateo County were trying to extin-
guish the fires, the Millbrae Lions
Club arrived at the service site,
prepared their Mobile Kitchen and
started calling members to report
very early that morning. As the
request went out, Lions Clubs from
San Francisco through Redwood
City responded, resulting in over
1,500 meals being served Friday
and Saturday, and also helping with
many other duties to assist the
unfortunate displaced citizens of
San Bruno.
The Millbrae Lions Club wishes
to thank all of the Lions Clubs who
rushed to assist those suffering in
the dreadful calamity. The
International President of Lions,
Sid Scruggs, who viewed the tragic
scene, conveyed the following mes-
sage of praise to all workers:
“I was so proud of the Millbrae
Lions Club, who along with the
San Bruno and Bay Area Lions
Clubs were truly beacons of hope.
Despite the tragic circumstances,

have no health insurance. They
won’t allow Bush’s tax cuts for the
wealthy to expire even though it
would make a big dent in the annu-
al deficit. They’d rather allow free
enterprise to reign so greedy,
unscrupulous corporations can
maximize profits at the expense of
consumers.
“The principled case that must be
made is that the brand of conser-
vatism seeking power this year is
irresponsible, incoherent and
untrue to the best of its own tradi-
tions. That’s clear enough at the
most basic level of policy.
Conservatives can say that they are
deeply worried about deficits, or
they can insist that tax cuts matter
more. But when they say that they
can reduce taxes and trim deficits
at the same time, they are either
deluded or deceptive, and they are
playing voters for fools.” — E.J.

of all conservatives. Nevertheless,
they have become embedded in the

HSR and minorities
Editor,
Mike Brown, whose letter “HSR
Hurts Minorities” (Sept. 22 edition
of the Daily Journal), has gone up
and down the Peninsula claiming
that the high-speed rail project will
have a discriminatory impact on
minority groups, and that the High-
Speed Rail Authority has failed to
comply with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act. Both claims are false.
Both the original 2008 Final
Program EIR for the Peninsula and
the recently revised sections contain
extensive information concerning
“economic justice” groups. Call it
what you will, but the HSRA has
plainly complied with the law. It’s
important to remember that in the
Town of Atherton case, the court
found that the 2008 EIR complied
with CEQA in every way except
the few limited areas that it ordered
the HSRA to revisit. “Economic
justice” was not one of those areas.
If it had been, it stands to reason
that the groups which tried to block
BART’s Oakland Airport Connector
would have done so here.
There is no evidence that this
project will have a disproportionate
effect on minority groups. The eco-
nomic justice sections of the EIR
found that there would be minimal
impacts on any group of residents
along the Caltrain line, because the
property acquisitions are not
expected to be extensive, given the
size of the project.
OPINION
— Erich Fromm
O’Donnell to join them in their
obstructionism.
Cutting taxes (or failing to allow
the tax cuts for the rich to expire)
and cutting spending (the
Conservative’s favorite mantra)
would come off the backs of a
beleaguered middle class who have
essentially been in financial limbo
for many years and especially the
poor and disadvantaged who need
the very programs that the
Republicans seem to feel are dis-
pensable. Their mantra: “We must
not interfere with free enterprise no
matter what!” They certainly are
not hindered by empathy, compas-
sion or any vision of how their
actions would impact those who
don’t “have it all.”
In the insecurity and angst many
are feeling about the Democrats not
being able to solve, in a little over
18 months, the myriad problems
handed down to them by a
Republican administration, more
voters are leaning toward the right.
You wonder what they think con-
servatives can offer that will make
things better. (Have they already
forgotten the eight years with
Dubya?) Doesn’t it occur to them
that if the Republicans get their
way, our descent into a Third
World nation will no doubt acceler-
ate, leaving an even smaller and
more fragile middle class and a
devastated lower class in its wake?
In her new book, “Third World
It’s time for Brown to “put up or
shut up.” If he has better informa-
tion on minorities than the U.S.
Census, he needs to bring that
information forward when the draft
Project EIR is released. If not, he
needs to stop spreading falsehoods.

Keeping the county clean
Editor,
Has anyone ever wondered why
trash is such a big problem in San
Mateo County? What ever hap-
pened to the old slogan “Keep
California Beautiful?” I guess it
went out with the trash (“Local
creeks filled with trash” in the Sept.
22 edition of the Daily Journal).
When I drive along Highway 101
in San Mateo County, the amount
of trash and litter I see every day is
just unacceptable. All this trash and
litter eventually ends up in our
creeks and in the Bay. Why is it we
don’t respect the land? Are we are
so busy and hurried we can’t be
bothered to wait until we get home
or to our destination to dump our
litter? The amount of taxpayer
money that is spent every year on
litter abatement is astounding. This
is money that could be used for a
host of other needs, like education.
On a recent trip up north from
Marin County to Mendocino on
Highway 101 signage is clearly
posted “No Littering, Fine
$1,000.” If it’s one thing that will
change human bad behavior it’s to
hit people in the wallet, and a
$1,000 fine is no chump change.
Can’t pay it? Then they can pick up
the trash. I don’t understand why

Stocks get late push
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,306.60
NEW YORK — A late push gave
stock indexes moderate gains Tuesday as
investors brushed off news that con-
sumer confidence dropped to its lowest
level since February.
A big jump in earnings from Walgreen
Co. and another corporate acquisition
gave investors enough confidence to
extend a four-week rally. Stocks were
mixed for much of the day but struggled
higher at the finish.
With only two trading days left this
month, the Dow Jones industrial average
is on track for its best September since
1939 with a gain of 8.4 percent so far.
It’s still up only 4.1 percent for the year.
Stocks got off to a bad start after the
Conference Board said its September
reading on consumer confidence fell
sharply from August and came in well
below forecasts. Mostly positive read-
ings from economic data on manufactur-
ing, home sales and jobs have helped
push stocks higher this month after a dis-

Scott Rostan, founder of Training The
Street, which provides courses in finan-
cial modeling and corporate valuation,
said the small move in stocks compared
to the big decline in confidence was
indicative of a growing schism between
consumers and traders.
“There’s a big dichotomy between
Main Street sentiment and Wall Street
sentiment,” Rostan said. Right now,
traders are more focused on sentiment
and confidence among corporate execu-
tives than consumers, he said.
Drug developer Endo Pharmaceuticals
Holdings said Tuesday it will buy
Qualitest Pharmaceuticals for $1.2 bil-

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it was pursu-
ing buying a South African company.
In other corporate news, Walgreen Co.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose
46.10, or 0.4 percent, to 10,858.14. It’s
up 8.4 percent so far in September, and
extraordinary showing for a month that
is historically a weak one for the market.
Investors are “looking beyond today’s
news at broader indications a double-dip
(recession) is more and more remote,”
said Joe Heider, a principal at Rehmann

If the Dow can climb above 11,000 it
would be a strong indication the market
is ready to break out of the broad trading
range it’s been stuck in since hitting its
2010 high in late April, Heider said.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose

Home prices to take hit next year

By Alan Zibel and Janna Herron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Don’t take the lat-
est snapshot of U.S. home prices too
seriously.
The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller
20-city index released Tuesday ticked up
in July from June. But the gain is mere-
ly temporary, analysts say. They see
home values taking a dive in many major
markets well into next year.
That’s because the peak home-buying
season is now ending after a dismal sum-
mer. The hardest-hit markets, already
battered by foreclosures, are bracing for
a bigger wave of homes sold at foreclo-
sure or through short sales. A short sale
is when a lender lets a homeowner sell
for less than the mortgage is worth.
Add high unemployment and reluctant
buyers, and the outlook in many areas is
bleak. Nationally, home values are pro-
jected to fall 2.2 percent in the second
half of the year, according to analysts
surveyed by MacroMarkets LLC. And
Moody’s Analytics predicts the Case-
Shiller index will drop 8 percent within
a year.
Among the areas likely to endure big
price drops, according to Veros, a real
estate analysis company:
• Port St. Lucie, Fla., and Reno, Nev.,
where prices could fall 7 percent over
the next year.
• Orlando and Daytona Beach, Fla.,
which face price drops of at least 6 per-
cent.
— Las Vegas, which led all declines in
the latest report, is also expected to post
a 6 percent drop. Home values there
have already tumbled 57 percent from
their peak four years ago.
Las Vegas has been hit by foreclosures
and the loss of tourism and construction
jobs. More than 70 percent of homeown-
ers there owe more on their mortgages
than their homes are worth, according to
real estate data firm CoreLogic. And the
city’s unemployment rate is nearly 15
percent, one of the highest for major
U.S. markets.
The outlook in Orlando is also grim.
More than half of borrowers owe more
on their mortgages than their properties
are worth. The unemployment rate there
is nearly 12 percent.

Walgreen 4Q profit rises and tops estimates
NEW YORK — Walgreen Co., the largest drugstore chain in
the U.S., said Tuesday its profit rose 8 percent in the fiscal fourth
quarter as it boosted sales by adding more than 500 stores.
Walgreen shares jumped more than 11 percent as the results
easily surpassed analyst expectations. The shares are on pace for
their largest single-day gain in a year.
Walgreen said prescription drug sales improved, and sales of
other items like cosmetics and food were more profitable
because of better prices and successful promotions. Sales of
“front end” or nonpharmacy items have been hurt by the weak
economy as shoppers have cut back on their spending.
The company said the beginning of flu shot season has been
brisk. Since the middle of August it has administered more than
2 million flu shots and sprays.

Judge allows United-Continental deal to proceed

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has declined to block
the combination of United Airlines and Continental Airlines,
clearing the way for the deal to close by Friday.
Forty-nine travelers had sued in San Francisco, claiming the
deal would raise fares. They asked Judge Richard Seeborg to
stop the deal from closing until a jury can hear their claims.
The judge’s ruling said the travelers have not shown that they
personally would be harmed enough to stop the deal from mov-
ing forward. Seeborg wrote on Monday that none of the plain-
tiffs testified to having flown regularly, and that only one said
that she is likely to use United or Continental when she does fly.

SAN FRANCISCO — Juan Uribe matched
a career best with his 23rd home run and the
first-place San Francisco Giants increased
their NL West lead over San Diego to two
games with a 4-2 victory over the Arizona
Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
The Padres lost 5-2 at home to the Chicago
Cubs, leaving San Diego 1 1/2 games behind
Atlanta in the wild card. San Francisco’s win
eliminated the Colorado Rockies from playoff
contention and gave the Giants a magic num-

Drawing conclusions
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Going into Tuesday’s showdown
against rival Skyline, Cañada
women’s soccer coach Kurt Devlin
was eager to see how his team
would respond against the Colts’
toughest opponent to date.
For Skyline coach Kevin
Corsiglia, it was the Trojans’ first
game since Friday’s 3-0 loss to City
College of San Francisco which
snapped a 29-game, regular-season
unbeaten streak.
When the final whistle blew,
Cañada had its answer — the Colts
could compete with the top teams in
the Coast Conference. Corsiglia and
the Trojans, on the other hand, will
have to figure out a way to get their
season back on track as the teams
battled to a 1-1 tie.
“For us, it was a good challenge.
To see where we are,” Devlin said.
“In the bigger picture, it’s a good
result for us.”
Corsiglia was not happy with the
draw, especially considering he
believed the Trojans had the better
run of play against the Colts.
Adding to his and the team’s frustra-
tions was the fact they gave up the
equalizing goal five minutes from
the end.
“We played a good first half. We
held possession in the first half, had
the better run of play,” Corsiglia
said. “But the last two games, the
second half has been an issue for us.
I think that City College game gave
us a bit of a hangover. We came in
(against Cañada) not believing in
ourselves.”

sixth time in eight games and 17th in 25.
San Francisco ends the regular season with
three games against the Padres this weekend
that likely will decide the division champion.
Sanchez has been San Francisco’s most reli-
able starter of late, going 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA
over his past six starts. He allowed three hits
and two runs and walked four Tuesday.
The lefty ran into trouble in the second but
kept the damage to a minimum. After Adam
LaRoche’s leadoff single and a strikeout of
Tony Abreu, Sanchez walked Miguel Montero

Burlingame High girls’ volleyball coach
Steve Erle didn’t mince words when asked
what the Panthers’ 26-24, 22-25, 25-22, 25-23
win over host Menlo-Atherton meant on
Tuesday.
“This was absolutely huge,” Erle said of the
early Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
showdown. “We knew going into league they
would be our toughest competition and they
proved it.”
Indeed, it looked as if Tuesday’s match was
all set for a decisive Game 5 until Burlingame
(3-0 PAL Bay, 14-3 overall) overcame a 20-15
deficit in Game 4. Menlo-Atherton seemingly
had control, but a pair of Vanessa Neumann
kills sandwiched in between a Leila Torres
service ace brought the Panthers to within 20-
18.
The Bears (2-1, 8-6) received a kill from
Sarah Collins and a combined block from Pauli
King and Seini Moimoi to up their advantage
to four points, 22-18. However, the Panthers
went on a 6-1 run, capped by a Michelle
Neumayr crosscourt kill — the Cal-bound sen-
ior had a match-high 29 kills — to set up
match point at 24-23.
Things ended moments later when an M-A
player was called for being under the net, thus
putting a sudden end to a thrilling and highly
competitive duel. Players from both teams
were called for being under the net — the rule
states a player must have his or her foot com-
pletely on or over the line to be called for a vio-
lation — on several occasions.
“I thought he (the side linesman) was a little
trigger happy with the whistle, but we have to

Melo focuses on
hoops,not hoopla
By Pat Graham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Carmelo Anthony is focused on
hoops, not the hoopla surrounding his future in
Denver.
Anthony joined his Nuggets teammates on the
first day of training camp Tuesday, calling the
court his “safe haven,” a place where he doesn’t
have to “deal with all the other stuff.”
For now, Anthony remains
a member of the Nuggets
after a person with knowl-
edge of the discussions said
a four-way deal that would
have sent Anthony to New
Jersey was “dead.” The per-
son spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of
anonymity because he was-
Carmelo n’t authorized to speak pub-
Anthony licly about the trade.
Still, Anthony’s days in Denver could very well
be numbered.
Anthony’s powder blue jersey, soaked in sweat
after a more than two-hour practice, was proof of
an honest day’s work Tuesday.
The All-Star forward became almost agitated
when asked if he might give anything less than
100 percent considering his uncertainty with the
team.
“I love the game too much to disrespect the
game like that,” said Anthony, who averaged 28.2
points last season in leading the Nuggets to their
second straight Northwest Division title.
“Anytime I step on the court, I’m going to give it
my all, regardless of what’s going on, what’s the
situation.
“This is basketball. I focus on basketball — it’s
something I know how to do and I love to do. As
far as my effort on the court, nobody can question
that.”
Nuggets coach George Karl gave Anthony an
“A” for his effort after practice, saying he thought
his star was “very professional, very mature.”

Early on, it appeared Skyline (1-1-1 Coast
Conference, 6-1-1 overall) was poised to
return to the level that made the Trojans the
Coast Conference’s undefeated champion last
season. The Trojans applied pressure on the
Colts defense immediately. Cañada’s inability
to clear the ball from its defensive end led to a
Skyline goal in the fourth minute. Jazmin
Garcia received a long pass at the back post
and had a 1-on-1 opportunity against Cañada
goalkeeper Whitney Galindo. But Galindo
and a scrambling Colts defense managed to
clear the ball out of the penalty box — but not
out of danger. The ball went to Midori Sera
just outside the box and she was fouled. From
25 yards away on the left side of the penalty
box, Sera stepped up and placed a perfect shot
in the upper right-hand corner of the net for a
1-0 Skyline lead.
It was a sign of things to come as Cañada
(2-0-2, 7-0-2) scored its goal in the 85th
minute, also on a set piece. Positioned just
outside the Skyline penalty box, about 25
yards away from goal, Cañada’s Vanessa
Garcia was spun down, drawing a free kick.

In recent years, many faculty members have
argued that UC Berkeley is spending too much
money on sports when deep cuts in state funding
have led to employee furloughs, reduced student
enrollment and steep tuition increases.
UC Berkeley administrators said they decided
on the cuts after considering a variety of factors,
including cost, student diversity, impact on
donations and compliance with Title IX, the fed-

But she could do nothing more than push it
into the side of the net.
“[Skyline] got off to a good start,” Devlin
said. “And we got a little lucky on [our] goal.
They had great chances to put us away, but
they didn’t.”
Between the two goals, both teams had sev-
eral strong chances, but both defenses and
goalkeepers were up to the task. Zink finished
with six saves, while Galindo had four. Both
goalkeepers also did a good job of aggressive-
ly coming off their goal lines and smothering
balls in the box before strikers could get shots
off.
Both teams showed they can possess the
ball, although it was clear Skyline had the
stronger, more confident team. The combina-
tion of Fonda Joab, Alexis Cuellar and Sera
were easily the best players on the field as
they dominated the midfield.
Arianna Picazo and Adriana Cortes were
both dangerous on the wings, with several
shot attempts going wide. Picazo had the best
chance to give the Trojans a 2-0 lead, but her
free kick from 45 yards out in the 51st minute
skipped off the crossbar.
Cañada showed why it went undefeated
against a weak non-conference schedule, but
it was also evident the Colts will need to step
up their intensity and confidence if they want
to challenge for a conference title and a play-
eral law that requires schools to provide equal
opportunities to male and female students in
sports and other activities.
Making across-the-board cuts to all programs,
rather than eliminating whole teams, would hurt
every team’s ability to compete, said Sandy
Barbour, Cal’s director of athletics.
“Clearly, this is a painful outcome after
months of deliberation, analysis and the exami-
nation of every viable alternative,” Barbour said.
Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott said
Tuesday’s announcement “highlights what is at
stake due to the significant financial pressure
schools and athletic departments are under.”

off spot. Jaclyn Saucedo played well on the
wing for the Colts, while midfielder Melissa
Jenkins did well distributing the ball. The
Colts offense didn’t really start clicking until
defender Tammy Abinader started getting
more involved in attacks late in the second
half.
“We have a ways to go,” Devlin said. “By
no means are we a finished product.”
That being said, Devlin believed his team
deserved a draw.
“At least we had opportunities,” Devlin said.
“It’s not like they were just waiting to finish us
off.”
Corsiglia was a bit surprised to see his team
not able to put away the Colts. Championship-
caliber teams usually don’t let one disappoint-
ing result — the loss to City College —
affect them. But that’s what makes communi-
ty-college sports dynamic so different than at
any other level. The turnover on community
college athletic teams always has a profound
effect, so no coach really knows what he or
she is going to get until their team is hit by
some adversity.
“We shouldn’t fall into a slump [over] one
game,” Corsiglia said. “[Cañada] played well.
They’re a lot better organized (than previous
seasons), but I think we were the better team

grams — women’s rowing, men’s wrestling,
men’s swimming and diving, and men’s indoor

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow,
who left Berkeley in 2006, said he was shocked
and saddened to hear the news about the Cal
baseball team.
“I think its awful. I think it’s embarrassing that
a Pac-10 school is going to cancel their baseball
program. I don’t understand why they would
even consider it,” Morrow said. “I think it’s a
great institution, and it’s sad news to hear.”

Dems in campaign trip
By Charles Babington and Liz Sidoti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — Buck up. Stop whin-
ing. And get to work.
Clearly frustrated by Republicans’ energy
— and his own party’s lack of enthusiasm —
President Barack Obama scolded fellow
Democrats even as he rallied them Tuesday in
an effort to save the party from big GOP gains
in the crucial midterm elections. In the final
month of campaigning, he’s trying to re-ener-
gize young voters, despondent liberals and
other Democrats whose excitement over his
election has dissipated.
“It is inexcusable for any Democrat or pro-
gressive right now to stand on the sidelines,”
the president declared in a Rolling Stone mag-
azine interview. He said that supposed sup-
porters who are “sitting on their hands com-
plaining” are irresponsible because the conse-
quences of Republican congressional victories
could be dashed Democratic plans.
He gave an example during a backyard con-
versation with New Mexico voters, arguing
that Republicans would reverse the progress
he’s made on education reform and student
aid. “That’s the choice that we’ve got in this
election,” Obama said, underscoring the stakes
of Nov. 2.
Later, at an outdoor rally at the University of
Wisconsin in Madison, the president urged
thousands of students to stay as inspired and
involved in this election as they were two years
ago.
“We can’t let this country fall backwards
because the rest of us didn’t care enough to
fight,” he said to loud applause.

Program brings upstate New
York farm food to the Bronx
SCHOHARIE N.Y. — A local bounty of
potatoes, carrots, lettuce and more was loaded
on to a truck one recent morning in upstate
New York farm country. Within a day, the just-
picked food began showing up on dinner
plates 130 miles south in some of New York
City’s poorest neighborhoods.
It’s a new farm-to-city pipeline offering a
fresh take on community-supported agricul-
ture, or CSAs, the increasingly popular pro-
grams in which households buy shares of
farmers’ harvests and get weekly deliveries of
fresh fruits and vegetables. This program,
called Corbin Hill Road Farm, began linking
farmers here in the Schoharie Valley with
New York City families in June.
Organizers have some grand ambitions:
nourish thousands of people in poor city
neighborhoods and give them some owner-
ship in a faraway farm while helping upstate
farmers who need a market for their goods.
“New York, it has the biggest appetite in the
world. We grow food,” Richard Ball of
Schoharie Valley Farms said before he helped
load food from his and neighboring opera-
tions into the Bronx-bound truck. “We’ll

probably all do better. They’ll eat better. It’s
really a matter of connecting the dots.”
About 225 people — mostly in the South
Bronx area but also Harlem — pay $18 or less
for weekly deliveries from Corbin Hill —
prices that are cheaper than grocery stores.
Overseers want to grow the project steadily
over the next decade to eventually feed about
3,500 households in those neighborhoods.
The South Bronx not only ranks as one of
the poorest areas in the country, but many
families there can neither afford nor find fresh
food. Jill Roche of the Hunts Point Alliance
for Children said their Bronx neighborhood
— of the same name — could be considered a
“food desert” given the paltry produce selec-
tion available at many corner stores.
While demand for fresh, local food has
soared in recent years, that means little to peo-
ple who can’t afford to pay more for fresh
arugula or drive to a market. Advocates have
made some progress in poorer city areas
through traditional CSAs, urban gardens and
farmers markets. Corbin Hill organizers have
respect for those approaches, but are thinking
bigger.
SOUP
Continued from page 19
For this butternut squash and scallop chow-
der the secret to low-fat thickening comes
from a snack food. Crumbled tortilla chips
dissolve in the soup while it’s cooking, adding
plenty of body along with a layer of toasty
corn flavor.
Jarred salsa is another secret to this satisfy-
ing chowder, bringing with it pre-diced veg-
etables and spicy seasoning, which helps
make it possible to get this meal on the table
in under 30 minutes on a busy weeknight.
Plump bay scallops are called for here, but
you can substitute chunks of almost any white
fish and if you like, make the soup vegetarian
by omitting the seafood altogether and upping
the amount of diced squash.

Recipes are only 90 percent of it
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The pork ribs arrived in the CSA box. A
quick dig through the fridge turned up a with-
ering green tomato. An orange and the usual
garlic and herbs sat a bit further back.
“The way dishes come together in my head,
they come together 90 percent,” says Melissa
Clark, whose new book “In the Kitchen with
a Good Appetite” (Hyperion, 2010) encour-
ages playing with your food until it tastes
good to you. “You say ’This is what I have in
the fridge, this is what I’m hungry for, this is
what I bought.’”
A dash of this, a squeeze of that, a sprinkle
and a grind later, and Clark had a delectable
pork dinner (you can find the recipe on her
blog, melissaclark.net).
This is called improvisation. and it scares a
lot of people. But Clark swears anyone can do
it. “You have to take that last 10 percent and
make it your own,” she says. Here’s how:
• Focus on balance
Complexity comes from balancing sweet,
salt, acid and pungent. Sweet can be sugar,
honey, hoisin. Salt can be capers, pickles,
anchovies. Acid equals vinegar or citrus.
Pungent is your garlic and onions. Some
ingredients do double duty, like Clark’s
orange, which provided both sweet and acid.
Make sure each is represented in your dish
and it’s hard to screw up.
• Play with your proteins
Recipe calls for chicken but you’ve eaten it
all week? Use pork instead. Or turkey. Try
lamb in place of beef.
• Grind, squeeze, dash

ens them. So be sure to re-season when the
dish comes off the heat. That could mean a
grind of salt; a squeeze of citrus or a smidge
of zest; a dash of hot sauce, vinegar, ver-
mouth; or another flavor you like to help
brighten the dish.
• Start slow
Can you scramble an egg? So scramble one
— and add a little cheese. Or tarragon. Or
chorizo. “Whatever you’re confident making,
make it and take it to the next level,” Clark
says. Just don’t experiment 30 minutes before
a dinner party.
• Trust yourself
Your palate is as good as anyone else’s.
Honest. If you like a flavor, use it.
• Always have a Plan B:
It’s true, you might screw up. But what’s so
bad about breakfast cereal for dinner now and
then? “My emergency food is tomato on
toast,” Clark says. “My husband has peanut
butter.”

Student goes on rampage at
University of Texas in Austin
By Kelleu Shannon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — A student wearing a dark
suit and a ski mask opened fire Tuesday with an
assault rifle on the University of Texas campus
before fleeing into a library and fatally shooting
himself. No one else was hurt.
The shooting began near a fountain in front of
the UT Tower — the site of one of the nation’s
deadliest shooting rampages more than four
decades ago, when a gunman ascended the
clock tower and fired down on dozens of peo-
ple.
Within hours of Tuesday’s gunfire, the school
issued an all-clear notice, but the university
remained closed, and the area around the library
was still considered a crime scene.
“Our campus is safe,” school President Bill
Powers said.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo expected
the school to be “completely open and back to
normal” by Wednesday morning.
Authorities identified the gunman as 19-year-
Kremlin fires defiant
Moscow mayor after 18 years
MOSCOW — President Dmitry Medvedev
fired Moscow’s boisterous mayor on Tuesday,
ousting the man who gave the capital a mod-
ern facelift but destroyed some of its most
precious historic landmarks amid a construc-
tion boom that turned his wife into Russia’s
wealthiest woman.
Medvedev signed a decree relieving the 74-
year-old Yuri Luzhkov of his duties due to a
“loss of confidence” in him after Luzhkov
openly defied the Kremlin and rejected a face-
saving offer to resign after 18 years on the job.
Luzhkov’s dismissal ended an increasingly
hostile battle of wills, squashing a regional
leader’s mutiny unseen in a decade of tighten-

Police declined to speculate on his motive.
Tooley’s parents did not immediately respond
to a message left by the Associated Press.
The 50,000-student university had been on
lockdown while officers with bomb-sniffing
dogs carried out a building-by-building man-
hunt.
After the gunfire, authorities searched for a
possible second shooter, but they eventually
concluded the gunman acted alone. Confusion
about the number of suspects arose because
shots were fired in multiple locations, and offi-
cers received varying descriptions from wit-
nesses, campus police Chief Robert Dahlstrom
said.
Before reaching the library, the gunman
apparently walked for several blocks wearing a
mask and dark clothing and carrying an auto-
matic weapon, witnesses said.
Construction worker Ruben Cordoba said he
was installing a fence on the roof of a three-
story building near the library when he looked
down and made eye contact with the suspect.

ing Kremlin controls. Medvedev and his pred-
ecessor and mentor, Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin, appeared to be sending a powerful sig-
nal that no regional leader was indispensable
and no one should openly criticize Medvedev
like Luzhkov had done.
The firing also clears the way for a redistri-
bution of the capital’s wealth, a sizable chunk
of which has for years been controlled by
Luzhkov’s billionaire wife, construction
mogul Yelena Baturina.
Some of Putin’s top lieutenants were named
by observers as possible successors to
Luzhkov, and business groups close to Putin
and Medvedev were expected to win more of
Moscow’s lucrative building contracts.

North Korea leader’s son
promoted, seen as heir
By Jean H. Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — The youngest son
of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was elect-
ed to his first prominent posts in the ruling
Workers’ Party, state media said early
Wednesday, putting him well on the path to
succeed his father as leader of the nuclear-
armed nation.
The announcement of Kim Jong Un’s
ascension to the party’s Central Committee
and military commission came a day after
news that Kim Jong Il had made him a four-
star general — a major promotion that
appeared to set into motion a plan to eventu-
ally put the little-known, Swiss-schooled 20-
something at the helm of the communist
country.
Kim Jong Il has led the nation with absolute
authority since taking over in 1994 upon the
death of his father, North Korea founder Kim
Il Sung, in the communist world’s first father-
to-son transfer of power.
Speculation has been brewing about anoth-
er dynastic succession since the 68-year-old
reportedly suffered a stroke in August 2008.
There are concerns that his sudden death
without a leadership plan in place could spark
chaos in the nation of 24 million that he rules
under a “military-first” policy.
Noticeably thinner and grayer, Kim Jong Il
has resumed touring factories and farms but is
said to be suffering from diabetes and kidney
trouble.
However, none of his sons appears ready to
step into the limelight. The eldest, Jong Nam,
spends much of his time outside the country

and may have thwarted his chances by getting
caught trying to sneak into Japan on a fake
passport in the 1990s. The father thinks the
middle son, Jong Chol, is too girlish, accord-
ing to a 2003 memoir by a former sushi chef
who worked for the leader.
Kim Jong Un is believed to be only 27 and
until this week held no known political or mil-
itary positions. However, he was always his
father’s favorite, and the most like him in
looks and ambition, the chef wrote in “I Was
Kim Jong Il’s Cook” under the pen name
Kenji Fujimoto.
The son has been kept well under wraps
since childhood, and the mere mention of Kim
Jong Un’s name in state media caused ripples
among North Korea watchers looking for con-
firmation that Kim Jong Il had anointed the
young man as his successor.
“It’s clearly the biggest news we’ve had
from North Korea since the death of Kim Il
Sung,” said Peter Beck, a Council on Foreign
Relations-Hitachi research fellow at Keio
University in Tokyo.
The secrecy is reminiscent of Kim Jong Il’s
own ascent in the 1970s, when his status as
the nation’s future leader was confirmed in an
appearance at the last major Workers’ Party
gathering: a party congress in 1980.
However, L. Gordon Flake, executive direc-
tor at the Mansfield Foundation, said specula-
tion about power hand-offs in the North is pre-
mature.
“There is no succession as long as Kim
Jong Il is alive,” Flake said. “What we are wit-
nessing here is the early indication of the
beginning steps of the process of succession.
... Kim Jong Il is still in power.”

MEASURE
Continued from page 1
projects like replacing old classrooms,
securing land and building a new contin-
uation school in addition to restructuring
loans. Those projects don’t total $186
million but the bond also includes a
buffer for unexpected costs like inflation,
increased labor or materials. Opponents
argue the money is a way to pass along
additional debt to taxpayers. The measure
requires a 55 percent vote to pass.
“The needs remain,” said Heidi
Bowman, co-chair of the Committee for
Quality High Schools which is support-
ing the measure.
Doing it now allows for the district to
take advantage of a good construction
market, she added.
Marc Friedman, co-chair of the
Committee for Quality High Schools,
added “it’s an opportunity for the district
to save money, an opportunity to put
money back into the educational pro-
gram.”
But not everyone favors the measure.
Former San Bruno mayor Larry
Franzella described the situation as poor
management of public funds.
Franzella supported the district’s last
two measures — Measure D, a $137.5
million bond measure in 2000, and
Measure M, a $298 million bond in 2006.
But he doesn’t see the need for the third.
“What you’ve got now, in my opinion,
is mismanagement of funds and coming
back to the taxpayers to bail them out,” he
said.
A large portion of Measure O is slated
to be used to cover outstanding debt.
The district’s budget has had a structur-
al problem for years, a burden created
from an $80 million consolidation loan
that the district entered into in 2007. The
loan lowered rates for three separate
loans, called certificates of participation,
taken out to further projects that could not
be accomplished with Measure D.
Currently, the debt sits at $74 million.
“Now they want to shift that [debt] to
the taxpayers,” he argued.
Board President Dave Pine explained
the move as one that makes the most
financial sense to the district as payments
for the loan will only increase whereas
the district’s income has fluctuated in
recent years.
Judith Puccini, a San Bruno resident,
takes issue with using funds to build a
new continuation high school — the sec-
ond goal put forth by the board.
The district’s continuation school,
Peninsula High School, is located on the
site of San Bruno’s former Crestmoor
High School, which has been closed for
many years. Earlier this year, an advisory
committee recommended the land be
considered surplus — a move that could
allow a sale of the parcel — if a new
home for the continuation high school
could be found. Proceeds from the sale
could be used to pay down general bond
debt, according to the approved bond lan-
guage.
“They really don’t need a new continu-
ation,” she said. “To use our tax money to
build one when they have one does not
make sense.”
Bowman disagreed. She sees the possi-
ble sale of the site as a separate issue. The
issue at hand is equity. And currently, the
students at Peninsula are not offered the
same state-of-the-art campus or technolo-
gies as other students, she said.
Franzella took a different perspective
... to make the case,” said Rep. Jackie
DATEBOOK
noting that Crestmoor could be sold and
fund the building of a new school rather
than asking taxpayers to do that.
That’s a timing issue, said Pine.
Possibly selling the site is not a quick
conversation. Also, Pine noted the
Crestmoor site is used by many in San
Bruno for recreation — a potential impact
that needs to be addressed.
Another selling point for the bond, pro-
ponents said, is the increase in general
fund money. The bond funds would take
over the consolidated loan payments cur-
rently coming out of the district’s general
fund. Those payments range from $1 mil-
lion to $2 million over the life of the loan.
Instead, those funds will be available to
the district for operating costs. Pine noted
it will most likely help offset the current
structural deficit.
If approved, the measure will cost vot-
ers between $5 to $23.86 per $100,000 of
their assessed property values. Measures
M and D combined cost voters $31.79 per
the $100,000 of a person’s assessed prop-
erty value. If passed, the new bond meas-
ure would increase that total tax rate to
$36.79 until paid off. Over the life of the
bond of 25 or more years, payments
toward the portion paying off the newest
bond would range from $5 to $23.86.
Pine explained the board looked at a
number of funding options. This one does
add 10 to 15 years of payment by taxpay-
ers but costs far less in the long run than
options like simply keeping the tax rate as
is through 2058.

The house was one of 37 destroyed in

Alvarado’s home was down the block

California officials requested federal

Tuesday the Federal Emergency

FEMA determined that state and local

However, FEMA will reimburse

pipeline, which they hope will shed light
on the cause, were scheduled to begin
later this week.
The National Transportation Safety
Board confirmed it was looking into a
brief equipment failure that occurred
miles away from the blast site as a possi-
ble contributing factor.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. crews were
working on a power supply system in
Milpitas, 30 miles from the blast site,
hours before the explosion. The system
apparently lost power for a time, which
could have hindered in their monitoring
of the pipe’s pressure.
When making the list of priorities,
have affected PG&E’s ability to monitor
and regulate pressure in the 46-mile
pipeline that ran through San Bruno.
The NTSB said the failure is one of
many leads it is following. PG&E would
not comment, citing the ongoing investi-
gation.
“Until (information gathering) is com-
pleted and data analyzed, no conclusions
can be drawn about the cause of the leak
and subsequent explosion,” NTSB
spokesman Keith Holloway said.
Speier, who has discussed the investi-
gation with NTSB officials, said when
the pipeline failed it was running at a
pressure of 386 pounds per square inch
— 11 pounds more than PG&E normally
allows.
This surge in pressure, albeit small,
would not create a rupture itself, but it
was strong enough to increase the size of
an existing rupture or failure, said Robert
Bea, an engineering professor at the
University of California, Berkeley.
“Normally there’s gas pressure surging
in the pipeline,” Bea said. “So it seems
strange that a surge of 11 psi would pre-
cipitate a failure. It wouldn’t cause it but
it could worsen it if the failure existed.”

duct psychiatric evaluations on-scene
and determine if a hold is necessary —
until the end of the year and $1.5 million
for electronic medical records. Both
additions come from the Health
System’s $14.4 million in departmental
reserves.
Once the state passes its budget,
Supervisor Carole Groom suggested
revisiting a discussion about increasing
access to medical care at the county’s
clinics.
In June, the board considered giving
the Health System $10 million for prior-
ity services and to backfill cuts. Director
Jean Fraser actually said the money was
preferable for one-time uses rather than
delaying inevitable cuts and relying on
uncertain funding streams.
“It isn’t where the greatest unmet need
is,” said Louise Rogers, director of the
Behavioral Health and Recovery
Services division.
The Board of Supervisors also includ-
ed $200,000 in one-time money for the
Department of Housing to whittle away
its half-million structural deficit and
“buy them time” to right themselves,” as
Boesch described it.
Director Duane Bay said the hope for
the department is working with nonprof-
its that may not have the clout to gain
grants or matching funds. While part of
the strategy is foreclosure counseling for
those who already have homes, “where
the rubber meets the road is getting loan
modifications from banks.”
The budget up for adoption Tuesday
did not include the agreement absorbing
the San Carlos Police Department into
the Sheriff’s Office. That matter will
Many of the unknowns fall in the
health arena and while some proposals
appear off the table, Fraser said it is still
too early to count on it.
“If the ducks line up, we should get
that money but we don’t control those
ducks,” she said.
In addition to working out is current
year budget, county officials continue
working on ways to eliminate a structur-
al deficit that currently stands at $70 mil-
lion and is projected to hit $124 million
by 2014-15 without action.
Boesch, the Board of Supervisors and
department heads will meet next week to
brainstorm better ways of forecasting
and budgeting.

Continued from page 1
one of nine rail authority board members along
with Pringle and Katz, wonders why the state
Attorney General’s Office has not taken any
action on the issue since the letter was suppos-
edly forwarded to the office back in July, Kopp
said.
“The attorney general has failed and refused
any action to oust those two officials from pub-
lic office,” Kopp said. “The AG must bring an
action any time there is reason to believe public
officials are in violation of a statute.”
Trouble is, the state Attorney General’s Office
never got the letter, said Michelle Quinn, a
media specialist in the office. And even if it did
get the letter, it might not be enough to prompt
a formal investigation, Quinn said.
The Attorney General’s Office sent its own
ity’s chief executive officer, stating it under-
stood that two of its board members “may” be
holding more than one public position.
Supervising Deputy Attorney General Susan
Duncan Lee, in the opinions unit, said in a let-
ter to van Ark that “when a public officer fails to
voluntarily vacate his or her first office, section
1099 is enforceable through a little-known legal
procedure known as the quo warranto process.”
Quo warranto allows for the removal of a dis-
qualified government official from office,
according to Lee.
“Ordinarily, quo warranto proceedings are
initiated and prosecuted by individual citizens
or by interested local agencies; this office is not
generally in the business of seeking out poten-
tially conflicted officeholders and removing
them from their offices,” according to Lee.
She does say in the letter, however, that the
attorney general has authority to bring a quo
warranto action on “his” own initiative.
ly supported request from anyone for leave to
file quo warranto proceedings against any
HSRA member,” Lee wrote in the letter.
Kopp said this letter is evidence the Attorney
General’s Office is “ducking its duty” and that
Boyer-Vine’s legal opinion should be enough to
prompt action.
He even sent a letter to the Attorney General’s
Office himself July 9 seeking action on the
dual-office holder letter.
And Elizabeth Alexis, with Californians
Advocating Responsible Rail Design, agrees.
Alexis wants Pringle and Katz to resign from
their other offices and wants the attorney gener-
al to take quick action on the matter.
“The attorney general shouldn’t wait,” Alexis
said. “Why does there have to be a scandal
before any action is taken?”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said
it is crucial to get the legal determination soon-
er rather than later.
resolved it could open up legal challenges to
any decisions the board members make,” Hill
said.
Kopp is worried the attorney general’s lack of
action will put the board in jeopardy.
“Any action this board takes in this situation
renders it vulnerable,” Kopp said.
When someone files a quo warranto request
with the attorney general, the attorney general’s
primary consideration is whether it is in the
public’s interest to have a court decide the issue,
Quinn said.
“This office doesn’t determine who is right,”
Quinn said.
Neither Pringle nor Katz could be reached for
comment about this story yesterday.

will eventually link the Bay Area to Southern
California.
“Put together a wish list of what you want
rather than out-of-sight, out-of-mind,” Simon
said.
The council voted two weeks ago to ask for
no less than a cut-and-covered trench for
Belmont after the Peninsula Rail Program
indicated in its alternatives analysis that only
an aerial viaduct was being considered for
Belmont.
The Peninsula Rail Program is the local arm
of the California High-Speed Rail Authority
that also answers to Caltrain.
enough thought into it. My advice is don’t try
to predetermine you want to go underground,”
Simon said.
Simon spelled out Caltrain’s disastrous
financial situation, explaining that its deficit
will grow to $30 million next year.
Caltrain does not have a dedicated funding
stream, it is funded by SamTrans, San
Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency
and Santa Clara Valley Transportation
Authority, which have all suffered dramatical-
ly during the recession. Together, the three
transit agencies comprise the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board, which owns the
Caltrain tracks.
Caltrain intends to electrify and modernize
and is working together with the rail authority
to benefit both programs, Simon said.
er,” Simon said. “We think there is a benefit
with HSR to Caltrain and the community.”
Simon also said Caltrain is calling on the
rail authority to build the project in phases,
allowing for solutions other than an aerial
viaduct.
He encouraged councilmembers to write
letters to the rail authority board seeking
phased implementation for the project.
Simon also made it clear that the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board owns the tracks.
“They are not going to do it in a way we
find unacceptable,” Simon said about the rail
authority.
A few Belmont residents spoke out on the
issue, most not wanting an aerial viaduct for
the tracks in Belmont.
Kristin Mercer, a Belmont planning com-
Caltrain trains to fill up to capacity by running
trains more frequently.
Adele Della Santina, a former Belmont
councilwoman, said the project’s disruptions
would kill Belmont’s business climate.
The study session went long, however, and
Simon promised answers via e-mail to the
council.
The rail authority is planning a route with
electrified bullet trains traveling from Los
Angeles to San Francisco at a cost of more
than $40 billion. It received a significant boost
when voters approved Proposition 1A, a $9.95
billion bond in November 2008.
