Educators eye shared services
Tight budgets,state uncertainty leading to new avenues for discussion

Knitting with love

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
At 103, Pauline Rose Madrieres
spends most of her day sitting down.
Donning pearl earrings and a
necklace, she leans over to show
that from her chair she can read and
also knit. About six year ago,
Madrieres decided to take on a new
knitting project to occupy her time
by making tiny caps for newborns .
“I have to keep my hands busy,”
she said.
Madrieres, who grew up in San
Francisco and now resides at Atria
Senior Living, took her first batch to
services like special education and
outdoor education. Countywide
services, like state-funded pre-
school, are also coordinated
between multiple local districts.
These specialized services naturally
lend themselves to consolidation.
Now, the conversation has bigger
implications. At the mercy of the

The fighting ended on April 30, 1975,
when northern Communist forces seized
the U.S.-backed capital of South
Vietnam, reunifying the country. About
58,000 Americans were killed along
with some 3 million Vietnamese.
Sunday’s concert coincided with the
10th anniversary of the death of anti-war
Vietnamese folk singer Trinh Cong Son,
known as the “Bob Dylan of Vietnam.”
The opening Vietnamese acts played a
tribute to Son, who remains highly pop-
ular.
Dylan is one of the top foreign artists
to perform in Vietnam, where big-name
concerts are still rare and the
Communist government maintains strict
controls over expression. Dylan’s song
list had to be preapproved by the gov-
Shanghai shows, but it was unclear if
they were submitted for consideration.
U.S.-based Human Rights Watch
issued a statement saying, “Dylan
should be ashamed of himself.”
“The young Dylan wouldn’t have let a
government tell him what to sing,” said
Brad Adams, executive director of the
organization’s Asia division. “He has a
historic chance to communicate a mes-
sage of freedom and hope, but instead he
is allowing censors to choose his
playlist.”
Dylan’s U.S. publicist referred ques-
tions to the promoters in Vietnam, who
declined to comment.
Vietnam, while prospering as one of
the fastest-growing economies in Asia,
does not tolerate any challenge to its
one-party rule. Rare protests are quickly
quashed by security forces, and a spate
of prominent pro-democracy activists
have recently been arrested or given
lengthy jail terms after calling for
democracy. The government also rou-
tinely blocks access to websites consid-
ered a threat, including Facebook.

oman’s role has traditionally been
one of child bearer and house-
wife. She had done the chores
around the hearth while the male had been out
hunting for food. She took care of the babies,
washed the clothes, cleaned the house, made
the beds, sewed and mended the clothes, etc.
while all of the time expected to a submissive
soul that was to complain little and not to be
expected to ask for rewards from the male (or
head of the household) or complain of her sit-
uation or status in the community.
Over the millennium, however, there were
many females who did not fit this mold and
expressed their inner feelings and soul by
contributing to causes they felt worthwhile.
World War II in the United States changed
the female’s place in society abruptly but not
completely.
There had been a great deal of women serv-
ing during World War I but they were mainly
in the Red Cross, as clerks and the nurse area
of operation. That was safe and didn’t greatly
upset the male. Traditionally, the male ego
prevailed when other spheres of employment
or influence was sought by the opposite sex.
World War II changed society and the
male’s way of thinking. The events that were
to unfold on this planet affected a larger
sphere of the population and, with the mass
methods of destruction and killing, every soul
became very important if society was to sur-
vive. Men in the United States were going to
war in mass numbers that eventually reached
over 3 million. That left a vacuum in our soci-
ety that needed to be filled. Gardens needed to

front and the war front. Offices needed to be
kept running and positions needed to be filled
in factories built to supply the needs of war —
guns, tanks, ships, radar tubes and airplanes.
The Women’s Army Corps (WAC) was cre-
ated as an auxiliary unit (The Women’s Army
Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) on May 15, 1942
and converted to status of WAC in 1943.
Thousands of women responded, although a
majority of males in the United States object-
ed to “women” wearing Army uniforms or
participating in war as a soldier, no matter
what the reason. The concept and the actual
corps was vigorously pushed
This corps was modeled after the British
ATS and, in 1949, the first contingent of 800
members began basic training in Des Moines,
Iowa. The women recruits were whipped into
physical shape and began serving in jobs to
relieve men for duty on the war front. The
WACs did not serve on the front line. This
was still forbidden by the Army. More than
160,000 American women served in the WAC
during World War II. This service was dis-
banded in 1978. The women have since
served in the same units as men, but were not
allowed to serve in combat situations until
after 1994. But their service behind the desks
and as drivers made Gen. Douglas MacArthur
comment one day that the “WACs were his
best soldiers,” adding that they worked hard-
er, complained less and were better disci-
plined then men.” The other service branches
of the U.S. military had similar women’s
units, the Navy WAVES, the SPARS of the
Coast Guard, and the (civil) Women Airforce

Supervisors mull redrawing district lines

When it comes to divvying up the
county’s land and voters, the Board
of Supervisors draws the line.
And, based on the most recent
national census data, those lines
might need some adjustment.
State elections code requires the
board review and potentially adjust
its district boundaries every 10
years after the federal census to
keep the jurisdictions as nearly
equal in population as possible. In

“I told them, ‘You can have these,’”
she said, then went home and started

Madrieres would learn shortly after
that the small beanies were perfect for
the newborns on the fifth floor.
Pediatrics doctor Sarah Beekley held
two of the small caps in her hand Friday
afternoon.
“The designs have changed over the
year. They’re so intricate. They’ve
always been a favorite for our parents,”
she said.
There aren’t enough for all new babies
to get the handmade cap. Often they’re
given to little ones who stay a few extra
days while dealing with other issues,
said Beekley.
“Having a baby should be joyful. We
try to still keep that magic,” she said.

hats, she was a little faster. She’s slowed
a bit now. That doesn’t keep Madrieres
from working on the tiny hats.
“They make me feel happy,” she said.

She will keep making hats, “as long as
I can handle the wool,” she said.

election on tax extensions
By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ALAMITOS — Gov. Jerry Brown kept up
his push for a special election on the state budget
Saturday in a quick tour through the territory of
Republican lawmakers, who have repeatedly
rebuffed him on the method he has chosen to close
California’s remaining $15.4 billion budget deficit.
Brown spoke for less than two minutes to
youths from the California Cadet Corps on its
100th anniversary at the Joint Forces Training
Base in Orange County but still managed to bring
in budget talk amid his praise for the kids’ leader-
ship and sacrifice.
“We’re facing a challenge, we had a $26 billion
state deficit, we got half of it covered,” Brown told
hundreds of cadets as they stood at attention on a
sunny afternoon. “We’re not going to solve the
problem, unless people are willing to make the sac-
rifice. It’s not about ‘we’ and ‘me,’ but about us,
about we the people. That’s what the California
Cadet Corps stands for, and I salute you.”
Brown ended talks with Republicans late last
month over the special election that would let vot-
ers renew tax hikes, which is essential to his plans
to bridge the budget gap. When the talks broke off,
he vowed to bring public pres-
sure on GOP lawmakers by
selling the election directly to
voters, and the Saturday stop
followed a similar appearance
at a school in Republican
Riverside a day earlier.
After his public remarks,
Brown addressed Friday
Jerry Brown night’s near-shutdown of the
federal government, compar-
ing the circumstances in Sacramento and
Washington, and calling the 11th-hour wrangling
that brought a deal “pathetic.”
“You’re not the superpower of the world if you
have to stay up half the night trying to make a few
decisions over a fraction of your budget,” Brown said.
He said President Barack Obama faced “the
same problem I do, only worse,” with the need for
supermajorities to overcome U.S. Senate fili-
busters level and to raise taxes in California. He
said his special election was the way around the
problem.
“That is not a very functional way to proceed,”
he said. “So I’m going to do what I can to enlist
the majority of voters in making these tough deci-
sions, about spending and cuts.”

Bill would expand smoking ban at work

By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California
was a pioneer in prohibiting tobacco
use in the workplace during the
1990s, but the ban left loopholes that
a state lawmaker now wants to close.
State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier said
other states have since surpassed
California and enacted more expan-
sive crackdowns on smoking in the
workplace.
He won passage in 2007 of a bill
to expand the workplace smoking
ban, but it was vetoed by former
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a
cigar aficionado who had an outdoor
smoking tent erected just outside his
office in the Capitol. He has been

DeSaulnier said, 25 states and the The group is co-sponsoring the
legislation with the American Cancer
Society and the American Heart
Association.
A 2008 survey for the state
Department of Public Health’s
California Tobacco Control Program
found that nearly one in seven peo-
ple said they were exposed to sec-
ond-hand smoke in the workplace.
The bill is opposed by some busi-
ness groups, including the
California Small Business
Association and the California Hotel
& Lodging Association, but neither
is lobbying against it. Most major
hotels in California already have
smoke-free lobbies and few smok-
ing rooms because that’s what the
market demands, lobbyist Randi
Knott said.
The bill would not affect work-

Tobacco retailers are putting up
more of a fight. The California
Association of Retail Tobacconists

tobacco shops, group president
Charles J. Janigian said. Most smok-
ers are adults, tobacco use is legal,
and shops and lounges are “the only
safe haven they have to go and enjoy
a good cigar or a bowl of pipe tobac-
co,” he said.
Janigian said the bill as written
would even affect private cigar
lounges associated with retail stores,
such as the new Fat Man Cigars
lounge a few blocks from the state
Capitol, which has attracted some
legislators as members.

National Guard head

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ALAMITOS — Gov. Jerry Brown
appointed a new head of the California
National Guard on Saturday amid allegations
of financial fraud by the unit.
Brown swore in Col. David Baldwin in
front of hundreds of members of the
California Cadet Corps, the state’s military
youth organization. The Cadet Corps was cel-
ebrating its centennial at the Joint Forces
Training Base in Los Alamitos.
The appointment still has to be confirmed
by the state Senate. Baldwin, 47, will replace
longtime California Guard veteran Mary
Kight, 61, who became the first woman ever
to become adjutant general of a state’s
National Guard when former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger appointed her last year.
Baldwin’s appointment comes after The
Sacramento Bee, citing documents from a
federal auditor and interviews, reported last
year that the California Army National Guard
gave millions of dollars to soldiers who didn’t
qualify for the money.
The newspaper also reported last year that
several California Air National Guard pilots
were under criminal investigation to determine
whether they padded their salaries by getting
paid for more than one shift on the same day.
Service Pilots.
During World War II, more than 59,000
American nurses served in the Army Nurse
Corps. Many of these nurses worked close to
the front lines and their sacrifices of life were
great, beginning with the attack on Hawaii at
Pearl Harbor. More than 200 nurses were
killed in World War II.
The tremendous demand for manpower in
the United States prompted industries to place
ads in newspapers for women personnel to
serve on the home front. EiMac in San Bruno
was one of the first to answer the call for
women. EiMac produced tubes for electronic
equipment needed for radar, radios, etc. The
women responded by the thousands and
EiMac hurriedly set up facilities to help the
mothers children attend schools and baby-sit.
The shipbuilding industry on the West
Coast was completely overwhelmed by the
demand for ships to transport soldiers, food
and supplies across the waters and Henry
Kaiser responded by building facilities in
Marin County (Sausalito) and Richmond.
Women worked as welders, electricians and at
other labor-intensive jobs. Tens of thousands
responded and statistics show that in February
1943, 14 percent of all production workers at
Richmond were women. In December 1943,
23.3 percent of all workers were women at
Marinship in Marin County.
Out of this effort, arose a fictional personal-
ity of the shipyards in the persona of a female
She and her fellow workers built the cement
ships at Belair Island. It took a while, howev-
er, for the women to get the respect they
deserved as workers alongside the men.
Women had never done much work in the
labor and business fields that were reserved
for men, but the second world war demanded
a tremendous quantity and variety of workers
be found immediately for the war industry.
The Belair Shipyards were constructed north
of San Francisco Airport and the search for
personnel was intense. Women were recruited
for many positions but there was an immedi-
ate backlash from the males. They believed
that the women were not up to the challenge
of shipbuilding. That all changed one day
when a structure of the ship the mixed male
and female personnel were working on came
crashing down from above and almost injured
a number of men. The men looked at the dam-
age that had been done and backed up, saying
that there was no way they were going to
climb back up and repair it. Immediately,
Hinman and two of the women coworkers
began climbing the twisted mass of steel and
began tying the steel together that had col-
lapsed. They completed the repair job and the
crew went back to work. From that point on,
the men didn’t question their female workers’
competence.

2012 in sight,Obama looks back to Chicago

By Deanna Bellandi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — President Barack
Obama’s relationship with his
hometown may be best described as
a long-distance love affair. He lav-
ishes attention on it from afar and
proud Chicago pines for its home-
town hero, though the two rarely see
each other.
That looks like it’s about to
change.
Obama is returning to his roots as
he embarks on his re-election race
for 2012. He’s setting up his cam-
paign headquarters in a downtown
high-rise near Grant Park, the site of
his victory celebration on election
night in November 2008.
He’s coming back Thursday to
raise money, while he lives in the nation’s capital.

aides say keeps Obama grounded sider above the partisan fray and
promised a new approach to poli-

cal insider.
“Basing it in Chicago says, ’I’m
not of Washington,’ but if he doesn’t
spend time in Chicago, he is of
Washington,” said Paul Light, a
public service professor at New
York University.
Obama’s relationship with his
town has evolved over the years.
He was a community organizer,
worked on a major voter drive and
practiced law in his early days in the
city. When he entered politics, he
focused on the state capital of
Springfield, and cast himself as
above the brass-knuckled nature of
Chicago politics, whose history is
pockmarked with corruption and
scandal.
During the 2008 campaign,
Obama was a fixture in Chicago
when he wasn’t crisscrossing the
country for votes. He took his wife,
Michelle, around town to dinner at
some of the city’s best restaurants.
He hung out with his daughters. He
worked out at the gym. He played
basketball with his buddies. He
attended meetings at his campaign
office, all under the watchful eye of
reporters and Secret Service agents.
His family, friends and neighbors
talked openly about the candidate
and his lifestyle.
As president, Obama has made
only about a half a dozen visits to
Chicago, often to raise money for
candidates. He’s made only a few
overnight trips to his South Side
house.

High hopes for first-quarter earnings reports

By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Look for a lot of
winners when companies report their
first-quarter earnings.
The companies in the Standard & Poor’s
500 index have surpassed analysts’ profit
expectations for two years, or eight
straight quarters. Some analysts say they
will make it nine straight this earnings sea-
son, which begins Monday with a report
from aluminum producer Alcoa Inc.
“The longer it persists, the more mean-
ingful it is,” said Adriana Posada, senior
portfolio manager with American Beacon
who oversees $18.8 billion in mutual fund
and pension assets. “There’s a lot more
confidence that the economy is in fact
improving when earnings continue to sur-
prise” with better-than-expected results.
Credit Suisse analysts wrote in a
recent report that they expect companies
in the S&P 500 will report total earnings
per share of $22.66. That’s 3 percent
above what analysts across the industry
were expecting at the end of the first
quarter. Over the last eight quarters,
earnings have beaten expectations by an
average of 7 percent.
The difference may sound small, but
stocks are priced on the assumption that
earnings will meet expectations. If results
beat forecasts, expect stocks to go up.
Last earnings season, for example,
timber company Weyerhaeuser Co.
jumped 3 percent the day it reported
adjusted earnings per share of 10 cents.
That was double analysts’ expectations.

SANAA,Yemen — A regional bloc
of oil-rich Arab nations along the

Sunday to step down as part of a deal
with the protest movement demanding

Libya accepts cease-fire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRIPOLI, Libya — A delega-
tion of African leaders said Sunday
that their Libyan counterpart
Moammar Gadhafi accepted their
“road map” for a cease-fire with
rebels, whom they will meet with
Monday. They met hours after
NATO airstrikes battered
Gadhafi’s tanks, helping Libyan
rebels push back government
troops that had been advancing
quickly toward the opposition’s
eastern stronghold.
The terms of the African Union’s
road map were unclear — such as
whether it would require Gadhafi
to pull his troops out of cities as
rebels have demanded.
“We have completed our mission
with the brother leader, and the
brother leader’s delegation has
accepted the road map as presented
by us,” said South African
President Jacob Zuma. He traveled

OFUNATO, Japan — There are

meet the other
party to talk to everybody and
present a political solution,” Zuma
said. He called on NATO to end
airstrikes to “give the cease-fire a
chance.”
Gadhafi has ignored the cease-
fire he announced after interna-
tional airstrikes were authorized
last month, and he rejects demands
from the rebels, the U.S. and its
European allies that he relinquish
power immediately.
Gadhafi enjoys substantial sup-
port from countries of the AU, an
organization that he chaired two
years ago and helped transform
tsunami-battered coast, and police
are trying to find their owners — a
unique problem in a country where
many people, especially the elderly,
still stash their cash at home. By one
estimate, some $350 billion worth
of yen doesn’t circulate.
There’s even a term for this hid-
den money in Japanese, “tansu

old uprising, which he declared to
be an internal problem.
An official from the African
bloc, Khellaf Brahan, said previ-
ously that its proposals call for an
immediate cease-fire, opening
channels for humanitarian aid and
talks between the rebels and the
government.
Through the rebels have improved
discipline and organization, they
remain a far less powerful force than

Mubarak
denies abuse
of power
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — In the first remarks
since his ouster, former Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak denied
allegations that he used his position
to amass wealth and property in a
speech broadcast Sunday, as hun-
dreds of protesters occupying the
heart of Cairo shouted for him to be
brought to trial.
Mubarak, forced out of office two
months ago by a popular uprising,
said he was willing to cooperate in
any investigation to prove that he did
not own property abroad or pos-
sessed foreign bank accounts.
Shortly after Mubarak’s pre-
recorded speech was aired, Egypt’s
prosecutor general told state TV he
issued orders Sunday summoning
the ex-president and his two sons for
questioning. The station quoted a
prosecution spokesman as saying
the scope of the investigation of
Mubarak and his sons would include
the crackdown on protesters that
killed an estimated 300 people as
well as the corruption allegations.
Holding Mubarak and top officials
in his government accountable for
the violence is a central demand of
anti-Mubarak movement.
The pan-Arab news channel Al-
Arabiya, which broadcast the
speech, said it was recorded
Saturday, a day after demonstrators
gathered in huge numbers in Cairo
to demand that the military council
that took over from Mubarak launch
an investigation into his wealth.
There was no video image accompa-
nying the recording of Mubarak’s
voice.

Who’s going to win?
I
t’s time to get serious about the
upcoming election for a new mem-
ber of the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors. Mail in ballots
have arrived and voters have almost a
month to decide before the due date on
May 3.
What a challenge for the candidates
and their consultants! This is not a typi-
cal election with a massive get-out-the-
vote drive before election day. This is a
marathon and pacing is critical. First out
of the box with mail and with the first
hit piece (against Gina Papan) was
Richard Holober (Just received an email
from Holober saying mailer was not his
but an independent expenditure from the
California Nurses Association). To date
I have received five mailings from him
and two from Papan. Terry Nagel was
first out with signs and Dave Pine fol-
lowed. Now I see a few of Papan’s.
***
Voters should be prepared for a steady
stream of campaign messages in the
mail and online. Right now, most people
don’t know the candidates. Will a mail-
only ballot encourage or discourage par-
ticipation?
So many questions about this race.
The candidates generally agree on the
issues so the question is who is the best
fit on the board, who can add the most
in expertise, analysis and leadership.
In addition to their political jobs,
Papan (Millbrae City Council) has been
employed as a lawyer by the state
Attorney General’s office. Pine (San
Mateo Union High School District
board) has a financial background as a
lawyer who worked for several high-
tech firms in Silicon Valley. Holober
(San Mateo County Community College
board) spent most of his career working
for labor unions and now is a consumer
advocate. Nagel (Burlingame City
Council) was a journalist and most
recently has worked for foundations and
nonprofits.
Each of the major candidates in the
race is well-funded and endorsed by
community leaders. Some more than
others. Some say the race is ultimately
between Papan and Pine but, if that is
so, Nagel and Holober are putting up a
good fight. Papan and especially Pine
did pick up some major endorsements
recently: U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
Supervisor Don Horsley and former
assemblyman Gene Mullin of South San

Francisco endorsed Pine
and Supervisor Adrienne
Tissier of Daly City
endorsed Papan. Usually
Tissier, Speier and Mullin
are on the same side, but
this race is full of contra-
dictions.
If you compare the local
endorsements posted
online, Papan and Pine
seem to be leading in the
number of current coun-
cilmembers with Nagel
close behind . Some are
dual. Richard Garbarino of
South San Francisco is supporting
Papan and Holober. Michael Brownrigg
and Jerry Deal of Burlingame and Andy
Cohen of Menlo Park are supporting
both Pine and Nagel. Dave Canepa of
Daly City is supporting both Papan and
Holober. Meanwhile David Lim of San
Mateo is supporting both Pine and
Papan.
Endorsements are spread throughout
the county but, generally speaking,
Papan’s and Holober’s strength seems to
be in north county and Pine’s and
Nagel’s in central and south county.
Papan and Holober both live in Millbrae
and Holober’s wife, Nadia, sits on the
Millbrae City Council. Nagel and Pine
both live in Burlingame. Pine also lived
in Redwood City at one time and served
on the Redwood City Planning
Commission. He has the support of the
majority of the Redwood City and San
Carlos city councils. Papan has the sup-
port of John Lee, Robert Ross and
David Lim in San Mateo but, as previ-
ously mentioned, Lim is also supporting
Pine. Nagel has the support of Coralin
Feierbach, Christine Wozniack and
David Braunstein in Belmont and Matt
Grocott in San Carlos. Holober has the
support of several Brisbane and East
Palo Alto councilmembers.
Not surprisingly, school trustees
Holober and Pine have a monopoly on
education endorsements.
***
Holober trails the other three in the
amount of money he has collected and
in his city council endorsements. But
his consultant, Ed McGovern, is the
favored consultant of the San Mateo
County political establishment and is
usually on the other side. McGovern has
run campaigns for most of the supervi-
goal and life subsistence.
Speaking of greed, the Redwood City
officials, Cargill, Scottsdale developers,
local Realtors and other Bay fillers are
really pushing for another Foster City.

inevitably happen. The sewage will have

sors and many coun-
cilmembers. That’s one
more anomaly in this
race. Pine has collected
the most money (fig-
ures are from last
reporting period) with
$309,000, but $200,000
comes from his own
loans. Nagel is next
with $142,000 includ-
ing a $75,000 personal
loan. Papan has raised
$109,000, including
$20,000 from her last
campaign for
Assembly. Holober has raised $65,000,
of which $8,800 is a personal loan. If
you subtract personal loans and trans-
fers from other campaign accounts,
here’s what the candidates have raised:
Pine: $109,000, Papan: $89,000, Nagel:
$67,000 and Holober: $56,200. Papan
and Holober are collecting most of their
funds from labor unions. Since there is
a month to go, Papan and Holober may
benefit from more political action com-
mittee money or independent expendi-
tures while, to date, Nagel and Pine
have not received any labor contribu-
tions although Pine has been endorsed
by the San Mateo County Central Labor
Council, along with Papan and Holober.
***
Whether Nagel will suffer because
she failed to receive the backing of the
labor council or whether, in these times
of tough union negotiations, she might
actually benefit remains to be seen.
Whether major union support for Papan
will turn off some voters when unpopu-
lar decisions have to be made regarding
pensions and other negotiated agree-
ments is also unknown. Whether Pine
will be vulnerable because he has put so
much of his own money into his cam-
paign is also questionable. Do voters
really care whether the money comes
from labor unions, real estate interests
or personal funds? Who knows?
It’s still a long way to May and I have
no idea who will prevail, but Speier’s,
Horsley’s and Mullin’s endorsement is a
big win for Pine.

Political
bullies
“ ...
The test of our progress is not whether we add
more to the abundance of those who have
much; it is whether we provide enough for
those who have too little.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
A few weeks ago, when I was in downtown Burlingame I
noticed a woman standing by a small table holding a sign that
read, “Impeach Obama!” It was accompanied by a picture of our
president that was adorned with a Hitler-type mustache. She was
obviously looking for signatures on a petition that she held in her
hand from people who agreed with her. To me, she epitomized
the viciousness of those Republicans whose motto is “Destroy
Obama!” People like Jim DeMint, Mitch McConnell, Glenn
Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin come to mind.
That sight made me grieve for our country. How pathetic that
it has come to this — people openly avowing to destroy our
president. Tom Rosshirt, in the San Francisco Chronicle, tried to
explain it. “We hate people because they are more powerful than
we are — because we have a lust for power ourselves and they
are standing between us and the supremacy we seek for our peo-
ple, our party, our views.”
These people on this cru-
sade fit the definition of
bullies — truculent, bel-
ligerent, angry, chips on
their shoulders, looking for
other people to intimidate
— not an empathetic cell in
their bodies. As they regu-
larly spout various versions
of, “We, the people of the
United States will take
back our government,” we
know that their bombastic
rants have much less to do
with improving our country
than with satisfying their
urge for vengeance because
they are not in charge. It’s like they’re saying: “Nobody’s goin’
to tell ME what to do! And if you don’t go along with me, I’ll
make your life miserable!”
As I write this, the Republicans in the California Legislature
are continuing to tighten the screws on Gov. Jerry Brown and the
Democrats. They are absolutely determined to prevent us from
being able to vote on whether the tax increases should be contin-
ued and they are going to great lengths to throw a monkey
wrench in the works. Never mind the people who are unem-
ployed, who are hungry and/or in need of health care. These
Republicans are focused on less government and fewer regula-
tions to please their corporate supporters and improve their
opportunity for more wealth obviously have no concern that the
unprecedented income disparity between the rich and poor is
continually widening.
In their obsession with control and their absolute revulsion at
anything hinting of “bleeding heart liberals,” some Republicans
in Washington even had a big snit about the use of compostable
cups and utensils in the House cafeterias. This goes along with
their hostility toward environmental preservation and their agen-
da for deep cuts in funding for the Environmental Protection
Agency. No stone goes unturned!
Yet, while these people carry on in their inimitable way, our
governmental processes become seriously challenged if not
brought to a standstill. Of course, that’s their goal. As far as
they’re concerned, the poor and needy can go without health
care, housing and food — but don’t raise taxes! Our schools can
keep deteriorating, our infrastructure can fall apart, but don’t
raise taxes! Free enterprise must prevail! What comes across is,
“You can do without as long as I’ve got mine!” And, sadly, it
will no doubt come to what Robert Reich wrote: “The only way
we’ll see more bipartisanship in 2011 will be if more Democrats
join Republicans to further entrench power and privilege in
America.”
As these dogged conservatives continue their crusade to over-
power us and destroy those who do not believe the way they do,
you wonder if these self-righteous fundamentalist types ever
heard such Biblical insight as: “There, but for the grace of God,
go I,” or “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” How about, “It’s easier
for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man
to enter the kingdom of God?” Obviously these defiant right-
wing browbeaters feel that such proverbs don’t apply to them.
Yet, as Tom Rosshirt wrote, “The spread of hatred is society’s
greatest danger. If it continues, it will undercut cooperation and
end our ability to govern ourselves.”
Too bad we can’t wake up enough Americans so that such leg-
islators can be sent “out to pasture.” Then maybe others could be
voted in whose minds and hearts would be open enough to work
productively with those who do not think the way they do.
Because if something doesn’t change and the Republican bullies
keep getting their way, our precious grandchildren, in spite of
their university degrees, may, before long, have to stand on the
sidewalk holding a cup and a sign that reads, “Buddy, can you
spare a dime?”

White House: Obama to

lay out plan for spending
By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One budget deal
down, President Barack Obama and
Congress began to pivot Sunday from the
painful standoff over this year’s spending
to a pair of defining debates over the
nation’s borrowing limit and the elec-
tion-year budget.
Much will be revealed at midweek,
when the House and Senate are expected
to vote on a budget for the remainder of
this fiscal year and Obama reveals his
plan to reduce the deficit, in part by scal-
ing back programs for seniors and the
poor. Across the dial on Sunday, messen-
gers from both parties framed the series
of spending fights as debates over cuts —
a thematic victory for House
Republicans swept to power by a pop-
ulist mandate for smaller, more austere
government.
“We’ve had to bring this president
kicking and screaming to the table to cut
spending,” said House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor, R-Va., on “Fox News
Sunday.”
Presidential adviser David Plouffe said
Obama has long been committed to find-
ing ways for the nation to spend within
its means. He confirmed that the presi-
dent would unveil more specifics for
deficit reduction with a speech
Wednesday that would reveal plans to
reduce the government’s chief health
programs for seniors and the poor.
“You’re going to have to look at
Medicare and Medicaid and see what
kind of savings you can get,” Obama
adviser David Plouffe said Sunday on
NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top
Republican on the Senate Budget
Committee, called Obama’s planned
speech “an apparent recognition that the
budget plan he submitted to Congress ...
fails to address our dire fiscal chal-
lenges.”
In a press release Sunday, Sessions
said any revision to the 2012 budget sub-
mitted by Obama in
February “must be
presented in a Boehner for fighting “the good fight.”
detailed, concrete
form” for scrutiny by
the House and
Senate budget com-
mittees and the
Congressional
Barack Obama Budget Office.
The presidential
speech on Wednesday is part of official
Washington’s shift from the standoff
over spending through September to next
year’s budget and beyond. Alone and
together, the prospects of raising the debt
ceiling and passing a 2012 spending plan
are politically perilous, a knot that law-
makers will spend the coming months
trying to unravel. That means competing
plans to shore up the nation’s long-term
fiscal health in a debate many predict will
make Friday’s nail-biter look minor.
For all the forward focus Sunday, con-
gressional officials still were analyzing
Friday’s 348-70 vote to fund the govern-
ment through the week. Operating under
it, aides were putting to paper the longer-
term bipartisan accord to fund the gov-
ernment through September. It wasn’t
clear that the vote would remain the same
on the spending bill for the next six
months.
The late hour of Friday’s handshake
left lawmakers little time to react. House
members of both parties who voted for
the funding through the week could not
say on Sunday that they’d vote for the
plan to fund the government through
September.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who
voted “yes” Friday to extend funding this
week while the final compromise was
written, said he was nonetheless undecid-
ed on whether he’d vote for the final deal.
On ABC’s “This Week,” he said he didn’t
think the six-month compromise would
pass.
On the other side of the aisle, Rep.
Mike Pence, R-Ind., also a “yes” vote on
Friday, would not commit to voting for
the six-month deal either.
Pence praised House Speaker John
“It sounds like John Boehner got a
good deal, probably not good enough for
me to support it, but a good deal nonethe-
less,” Pence said on ABC.
Friday’s tally also offered a look at
Republicans likely to be the staunchest
opponents of any compromises on
spending and policy.
Twenty-eight of the “no” votes were
cast by Republicans. Sixteen of those are
members of the 87-member freshman
class. Also voting no: Tea Party star and
possible presidential candidate Michele
Bachmann, R-Minn.
“This short-term was just ‘same ol’,
same ol” for Washington,” one newcom-
er who voted “no,” Rep. Tim Huelskamp
of Kansas, wrote on his Facebook page.
The $38.5 billion in cuts, Huelskamp
wrote, “barely make a dent” in years of
trillion-dollar deficits and the nation’s
$14 trillion debt. Additionally, the meas-
ure lacked the policy riders he sought,
such as one to strip Planned Parenthood
of federal funding, though by law no fed-
eral money goes to its abortion services.
All told, Huelskamp wrote, the meas-
ure “ignores the fundamental reasons I
and my fellow freshmen members of
Congress were sent to Washington in
November of last year.”
Plouffe said the president understands
the mandate to dramatically cut spend-
ing. On talk show after talk show, he
pointed to December’s bipartisan deal on
tax cuts with Friday night’s agreement on
this year’s budget as evidence that both
parties can govern together when they
want to.
“Compromise is not a dirty word,”
Plouffe said on ABC.
The president, Plouffe said, would
address ways to reduce the deficit and the
long-term, $14 trillion debt. He gave few
specifics, but he said the president
believes taxes should go up on higher-
income Americans and cuts to Medicare
and Medicaid will be necessary.

San Francisco hopes tech

success is not Bubble 2.0
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — A certain feeling is back in San

Francisco. Murmurings of stock market riches. Twenty-some-
thing entrepreneurs as celebrities. Lamborghinis parked next to
taco trucks.
Driven by social media and mobile startups, the money is
flowing in the city’s tech industry again, a decade after the dot-
com boom minted overnight millionaires and its crash fueled a
local recession worse than anything San Francisco has seen in
the latest downturn.
A recent tax break for Twitter and other proposals show city
officials are hopeful that this latest tech industry prosperity does
not portend another bubble and another bust.
“It seems to be the industry that’s leading us out of the reces-
sion at the moment,” said Ted Egan, the city’s chief economist.
Even so, he said, “it’s certainly not yet another dot-com boom.”
At present, the signs do not point clearly to the same excess of
optimism that led to the high perch from which the city had so
far to fall. But some of the numbers swirling around the tech
startup scene could stir a sense of deja vu.
Along with Twitter, the San Francisco startup causing the most
excitement is Zynga, maker of popular Facebook games like
“FarmVille” and “CityVille.” Estimates based on recent invest-
ments put the valuations of both companies at $7 billion or more.
Yet unlike the first dot-com era, when companies with neither
customers nor a clear way to make money raised millions in pub-
lic stock offerings, both Twitter and Zynga have become major
participants in the online economy.
While Twitter is still tweaking its business model and keeps its
revenue figures closely held, the company happily claims 175
million users on its way to becoming a global phenomenon.
Zynga’s popularity and approach to money-making are even
clearer: It sells virtual goods that players use in the company’s
online games. Last year, the company made about $400 million
doing just that, according to published reports.

Coach arrested in attack on parent

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — A youth foot-
ball coach was arrested after a
confrontation with a parent —
apparently stemming from a dis-
pute over recruitment of a top
player — in which the parent was
kicked and punched, then
knocked unconscious when he
tripped and hit the ground, police
said.
The coach, Saivaauli Savaiinea,
was arrested Saturday afternoon
on suspicion of felony battery,
according to San Diego Police
Officer David Stafford.
Savaiinea, 32, reportedly
attacked Mark Cannon during an
argument at Abraham Lincoln
High School. The coach allegedly
punched the parent in one shoul-
der and kicked him in the stom-
ach. Cannon tripped over his own
feet, fell and hit his head on con-
crete, Stafford said.
Cannon, also 32, was taken to a
trauma center with head injuries.
Police had no word on his condi-
tion Sunday.
The confrontation began after
Savaiinea reportedly thought he
overheard Cannon trying to
recruit one of his best players,
Police Lt. Dan Christman told the
San Diego Union Tribune.
The coach paid $35,000 in bail
and was released was jail at 1 a.m.
Sunday, according to a dispatcher
at the jail. It’s unclear whether
Savaiinea had retained an attor-
ney.
The two men were with oppos-
ing teams of 9, 10 and 11-year-old
kids from Chula Vista.

Wild day at Masters
Schwartzel wins
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Charl Schwartzel
gave this Masters a finish it deserved.
On an amazing Sunday at Augusta
National, where the roars came from every-
where and for everyone and didn’t stop
until it was over, Schwartzel emerged from
the madness by becoming the first Masters
champion to close with four straight
birdies.
His final putt from 20 feet curled into the
side of the cup for a 6-under 66, the best
closing round at the Masters in 22 years. It
gave the 26-year-old South African a two-
shot victory over Australians Adam Scott
and Jason Day.
“Just an exciting day,” Schwartzel said.
“So many roars, and that atmosphere out
there was just incredible. A phenomenal
day.”
Indeed, this final round had it all.
First came a fist-pumping charge by
Tiger Woods, who erased a seven-shot
deficit in nine holes only to go flat on the
back nine. Then came the stunning collapse
of 21-year-old Rory McIlroy, who put his
name in Masters lore for all the wrong rea-
sons.
Still leading by one shot as he headed to
the back nine, McIlroy hit a tee shot next to
the cabins left of the 10th fairway and
twice hit a tree to make triple bogey. He
three-putted from 7 feet for bogey on the
11th, four-putted from about 12 feet on the
next hole and buried his head into his fore-
arm as the shock began to settle in.
McIlroy shot 80, the highest final round
by the 54-hole leader since Ken Venturi in
1956. Not since Jean Van de Velde at
Carnoustie had someone blown at least a
four-shot lead going into the last round of
the major.
So wild was this steamy afternoon that
eight players had at least a share of the lead

the Spartans played hosts in the
four-game series, Fresno State was

quality start, working seven innings
of three-hit ball to take a no decision
before San Jose State won it 3-1 by
breaking through in the eighth
against the Bulldogs bullpen. Harlan
(Riordan H.S.) came up two outs
shy of a quality start in yesterday’s
finale, allowing two earned runs
over 5 1/3 innings to take a no deci-
sion before Fresno State went on to
win 5-3. The teams also split a
Saturday doubleheader.
San Jose State starter Roberto
Padilla earned the win Friday night,
upping his record to 6-2. In doing
so, Padilla moves into a three-way
tie in the WAC with six wins, along
with Gonzalez and New Mexico

Otherwise, Gonzalez leads most of
the major pitching categories in the
conference, including ERA (1.35),
opponents’ batting average (.168),
and strikeouts (58).

World Series champion Giants receive rings
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Bochy pulled a
prank on a few of his players late in spring train-
ing, bringing them into his Scottsdale Stadium
office and showing them an inexpensive ring
from the Dominican Summer League. He insist-
ed it was a preview of their World Series jewelry
to come.
Ha! Pat Burrell, one guy on the Giants who
already owned a World Series ring, bit hard at the
joke. On Saturday night, he got to show off the
real thing on the main center-field scoreboard at
AT&T Park.
San Francisco’s players,
front office members and
other staff received their 2010
championship bling by
Tiffany & Co. in a pregame
ceremony before hosting the
St. Louis Cardinals — and oh
what an upgrade, coming
from those signature blue
Bruce Bochy Tiffany boxes.
They were a surprise to
most everybody. Managing partner Bill Neukom
asked Bochy and general manager Brian Sabean
for their input, but that was about it. For a second
straight day the club celebrated the city’s first
championship since moving West in 1958.
The very first ring went to longtime equipment
manager Mike Murphy, who has been with the
club since starting as a bat boy in ’58. Sabean
was next, followed by Bochy.
“This is one you’ll want to wear,” Bochy said.
“I’ll wear it all the time. I don’t wear jewelry so
to speak, but I’ll wear this with a lot of pride.”
The rings are primarily white gold. The top
features the team’s “SF” logo set with round dia-
monds encircled by a bezel of yellow gold
flanked by two round diamonds. One side of the
ring says 2010 with a yellow gold tower of the

Bochy said the ring ceremony was talked
about among the players and that they were
anxious for the “emotional” moment.
“It’s going to be my best day in profession-
al ball,” said Bochy, San Francisco’s fifth-year
skipper. “It’s going to be one of the greatest
days in a lot of these players’ careers to get a
ring. It’s going to have very special meaning.”

the Cardinals in the first round the very next
year. That ’98 team was Bochy’s lone pennant
in 12 seasons as Padres skipper.
Another special part of the night was Hall
of Fame president Jeff Idelson’s presentation
of the Giants’ previous five championship
souvenir gifts, including three rings. It was
the champion New York Giants in 1922 who
presented the first World Series ring to play-
ers, a tradition that became a staple in 1928
according to Idelson. The Hall has a display at
Cooperstown of every ring from 1922 on.
Other offerings in the past were medals,
watch fobs or fancy pins or pendants.
“There was nothing I could find on why the
Giants did it first or whose idea it was,”
Idelson said.

on some point during the back nine. The
steady hand came from Schwartzel, whose
only bogey came on the fourth hole as this
Masters was just getting warmed up.
He got up-and-down from behind the 15th
green for birdie to briefly tie for the lead, only
for Scott to stuff his tee shot into 2 feet up
ahead on the par-3 16th. Schwartzel answered
with a 15-foot birdie to catch Scott atop the
leaderboard again.
Then came the pivotal 17th, where
Schwartzel made a 10-foot birdie. It was the
first time all day he had the lead to himself,
and he finished it off in style.
South Africans now have won two of the
last three majors, following Louis Oosthuizen
winning at St. Andrews last summer. This one
came on the 50th anniversary of Gary Player
becoming the first international player to win
the Masters.
“I am absolutely delighted for Charl and
South Africa. Congratulations and very well
done to him. That is how you finish like a
champion!” Player said on Twitter.
In so many respects, this looked more like
1986 when Jack Nicklaus charged on the back
nine to win a sixth green jacket over a Hall of
Fame cast of contenders. There were twice as
many possibilities at this Masters, though,
from Woods and former Masters champion
Angel Cabrera, from Geoff Ogilvy and Luke
Donald, from K.J. Choi and Bo Van Pelt, who
made two eagles on the back nine.
Schwartzel set the tone early when he
chipped in from some 75 feet across the green
for birdie on the opening hole, then holed out
from the fairway on No. 3 for eagle. Just like
that, McIlroy’s four-shot lead was gone.
The cheers were impossible for McIlroy to
ignore.
From the second green, where he was
scrambling to make par, McIlroy could hear
the noise ahead of him for Schwartzel’s
eagles. Moments later came another roar to
his right on the seventh green, where Woods
stuffed one close for another birdie.
Woods’ red shirt looked a little brighter. He
walked a little taller. And the cheers kept com-
ing.
The biggest boom from the gallery came on
the par-5 eighth, when Woods knocked in an
eagle putt to reach 10 under and tie for the
lead. There was no mistaking that sound, or
who it was for.
Over the next few minutes, more cheers
could be heard from all corners of Augusta
each time Woods’ score was posted on a
leaderboard. He still had the back nine to play,
and momentum was on his side.
Not for long, though.
He missed a 3-foot par putt on the 12th,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
failed to birdie the par-5 13th with a 7-iron for
his second shot. Then, after twirling his 7-iron
with a shot so pure it settled 4 feet away on
the par-5 15th, he missed the 4-foot eagle
putt.
Woods closed with a 67, his best final round
ever here. But he shot a 36 on the back nine,
and that doesn’t win the Masters, certainly not
this one.
“I got off to a nice start there and posted
31,” he said. “And then on the back nine,
could have capitalized some more.”
Which shot would he like to have back?
“Oh, we can’t do that,” Woods said. “We do
that every week and we would go crazy,
wouldn’t we?”
Schwartzel finished at 13-under 274 and
moves to No. 11 in the world, making him the
No. 1 player in South Africa. He becomes the
sixth South African to win a major.
“It’s been such a short time to think about
what can happen. It’s a dream for me,”
Schwartzel said. “It’s obviously the highlight
of my golf career, by a long way. I always
thought if there was one I would win, it would
be this one.”
For Scott and Day, it was bitter disappoint-
ment for themselves and their country. The
Masters is the only major an Australian has
never won, and it has become a rallying cry
for so many players who watched Greg
Norman endure years of heartache.
Scott, who switched to a long putter in
February, took the lead for the first time with
a short birdie on the 14th and had the look of
a winner with his tee shot to tap-in range on
the 16th, and a clutch par save from the
bunker on the 17th.
He missed his 25-foot birdie putt on the
final hole that he ran 4 feet by and settled for
a 67.
“I don’t think I can ask for anything more,”
Scott said. “I had a putt at it at the last — not
my best, but everything else was pretty good
today.”
Day came to life at the end with consecutive
birdies that allowed him to shoot 68 and join
Scott at 12-under 276. He hugged his wife
before going into the scoring hut, only to see
Schwartzel play the 18th without any drama.
“I couldn’t do any more than what I just did
today,” Day said. “Charl played even better
golf.”
Woods tied for fourth at the Masters for the
second straight year, joined by Ogilvy (67)
and Luke Donald (69). Ogilvy ran off five
consecutive birdies on the back nine — unfor-
gettable at any other Masters but this one
filled with so many highlights. Donald was in
the mix until hitting 9-iron into Rae’s Creek
on the 12th for double bogey.
He rebounded beautifully, however, and
showed his greatest emotion on the 18th. With
an awkward lie near the bunker, he scooped a
shot that hit the flag and bounced back off the
green, and Donald chipped in for birdie.

Power leads IndyCar race wire-to-wire

By John Zenor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Will
Power sat down at the podium,
smiled and said, “Good day.”
The Australian meant it as a greet-
ing, but he most definitely had a
good day.
Power started up front and never
relinquished his spot to win the Indy
Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday,
capturing a race that escaped him
last year and doing so without a
misstep.
“I can’t think of a race where I’ve
been so cool, so physically fine and
where I had everything go so right,”
Power said, adding that maybe last
year at Sonoma was comparable.
Power extended his wire-to-wire
lead enough for some comfort in the
final laps and finished 3.38 seconds
ahead of Scott Dixon on Sunday,
while Dario Franchitti was third on
the 2.38-mile road course at Barber
Motorsports Park.
Power became the first IndyCar
driver to stay up front for the dis-
tance since Franchitti did it at
Sonoma in 2009.
Power dominated in practice and
qualifying rounds the past two years
at Barber, and stressed how badly he
wanted to win after a pit strategy
backfired and cost him the lead in
2010 — and perhaps the IndyCar
points championship.
“It’s just satisfying not only to get
a win here, because I felt we should
have won last year,” he said. “We
had such a good car, and we didn’t
get it. I was very determined to get
it this weekend.”
IndyCar’s second race since mov-
ing to the double-file restart helped
produce plenty of thrills — along
with six full-course cautions. Six
drivers were knocked out of the race
by contact, including Ryan Briscoe,
who started in second place.
But all the trouble remained safe-
ly behind his teammate Power, and
so did the other drivers.
“It was one of the most relaxing
races I’ve ever had,” Power said. “I
was just really cruising.”
It was Dixon’s second straight
runner-up finish at Barber. Power
never gave him an opening on the
narrow track.
“I think our car was a little better
(than Power’s) for the first 15 laps,”
Dixon said. “But it’s a track where
if you’re racing a car that’s within a
few 10ths of the speed you can run,
it’s almost impossible to pass unless
the guy makes a mistake. You try

Ely loses it in the sixth, Dodgers lose to Padres

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — John Ely knows he’ll
have to do better than he did in his first
spot start of the season if he’s going to earn
a longer look in the Dodgers’ rotation.
Ely, recalled from Triple-A
Albuquerque on Sunday, pitched well
through five innings before the San
Diego Padres broke open the game on
Nick Hundley’s two-run homer in the
sixth en route to a 7-2 win over Los
Angeles.
Ely, 4-10 in 18 starts for the Dodgers
last year, was pitching because of a
spring training injury to right-hander
Jon Garland and because it was the first
time Los Angeles needed a fifth starter.
“He threw the ball well and kept us in
the game, giving us a chance to get out
early and get a run quick,” Dodgers
manager Don Mattingly said. “We just
didn’t do anything after that.”
The Dodgers were shut down by
Aaron Harang, who pitched six sharp
innings.
Ely (0-1) allowed a solo homer to the
slumping Ryan Ludwick that put San
Diego ahead 2-1 in the fourth inning.
The righty allowed four runs on six hits
in 5 2-3 innings.
“I definitely could have had a better
result,” Ely said.

Giants can’t complete sweep,fall to Cards
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A celebra-
tory opening weekend at home for
the World Series champion San
Francisco Giants ended with a dud.
Barry Zito walked five batters
before being knocked out in the
sixth inning and the Giants were
unable to generate much offense
against Kyle Lohse, falling 6-1 to
the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
“It’s a huge deal what the San
Francisco Giants accomplished last
year and a huge deal for the city,” Zito
said. “But the reality is we have games
to win today, tomorrow and the next
day. So I think it was amazing, the cer-

could have. Now we just move for-

MINNEAPOLIS — Hideki
Matsui wasn’t the only one getting a
little anxious for his first home run
in an Athletics uniform.
The Oakland pitching staff was
just as excited to see the veteran
send one soaring into the Target
Field stands.
Matsui homered to help the
Athletics break out of a season-long

Matsui was signed in the offsea-
son to provide another veteran bat to
complement a young, talented
pitching corps. But he entered the
game Sunday hitting just .160 with
no homers and three RBIs.
He led off the fourth inning with a
solo shot that bounced off a score-
board in deep right-center field to
get the A’s on the board. Josh
Willingham added another one in a
four-run sixth inning.
“You know it’s going to come,”

two runs scored. “To see that per-

was on top of his game.”
David Freese went 3 for 4 with a
homer and three RBIs and Lohse
allowed one run in eight innings to
help St. Louis snap a three-game
losing streak.
Matt Holliday scored the go-
ahead run and added an RBI single

save.
Justin Morneau had three hits and
an RBI for the Twins, and Jim
Thome hit his first homer of the sea-
son. But their three-run eighth was
too little, too late on another slow
day for the offense.

finished with a scoreless ninth.
“Their guy threw the ball well

Sandoval said. “Give him credit. We

St. Louis also overcame another

“I think they like me more than
the other guys,” McCarthy joked. “I
think it’s because I have a better

Pujols hit into a double play after

taunted before his next at-bat by
fans chanting “one-five-six” for his

After Pujols grounded out to lead
off the sixth, the Cardinals started
their go-ahead rally when Zito (0-1)
walked Holliday and Allen Craig.
Freese then hit an RBI double to
make it 2-1 and Schumaker added a
two-run double that hit off center
fielder Aaron Rowand’s glove after
a long run to the gap in left-center.

James’27 lift Miami past sliding Celtics

By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI— If this was a preview of the Eastern
Conference semifinals, then the Miami Heat and
Boston Celtics showed exactly what to expect.
There will be few pleasantries.
There will be pushing and shoving.
And if there’s a Game 7, it may very well be in
Miami.
LeBron James scored 27 points, Dwyane Wade
added 14 and the Heat moved closer to wrapping up
the No. 2 seed in the East playoffs by beating the slid-
ing Celtics 100-77 on Sunday.
Miami moved a game ahead of Boston, and
trimmed its magic number to clinch the second seed to
two.
Chris Bosh added 13 points and eight rebounds for
Miami, which had been 0-3 against Boston this sea-
son.
Paul Pierce scored 24 points and Kevin Garnett
added 21 for Boston, which lost for the 10th time in
its last 19 games.
The Heat finally solved the Boston hex, beating the
Celtics for the third time in the last 21 meetings. Bosh
had been 1-13 against Boston since March 2007, and
the Celtics ended both the 2009-10 seasons for Wade
(in the first round) and James (in the second round).
Miami won for the 13th time in its last 16 games
and outrebounded Boston 42-26, the Celtics’ total a
season low.
Ray Allen scored 13 points for the Celtics. Rajon
Rondo was held to just seven points and five assists on
3 for 8 shooting.
Miami’s role players were huge.
Mario Chalmers had nine points in the second quar-
ter, when the Heat took the lead. Joel Anthony had
eight rebounds in the first half, two less than the entire
Boston roster. Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored six quick
points early in the third as the Heat remained in con-
trol, and Anthony took advantage of a triple-team on
James for a dunk and a 74-59 lead on the final play of
the third quarter.
Then James took over.
An alley-oop dunk from Chalmers, followed by a
20-foot jumper, pushed Miami’s edge to 81-61. Of
course, this being Celtics-Heat, nothing would come
easily for Miami.
Down by 22, Boston ran off 12 straight points,
Allen starting it with a four-point play, and Pierce
adding both a 3-pointer and a three-point play to get
the Celtics within 85-75.
It was the last gasp. Mike Bibby’s 3-pointer with
4:49 left, followed by Bosh’s follow of James’ miss,
sent the lead back to 15. And with 2:38 left, Celtics
coach Doc Rivers went deep into the bench, essential-
ly conceding.
Boston scored the game’s first eight points and hit
eight of its first nine shots. The Celtics were making it
seem easy, especially when Garnett — who hadn’t
made a 3-pointer all season — stepped into one from
the left wing and connected for a 22-15 lead.
Boston went scoreless for the next 6:17, and just
about everything seemed to change.
Miami got within 22-21 after the first quarter, then
took its first lead on Bosh’s first field goal on the
opening possession of the second.
Tensions were already high, and emotions soon
boiled over.
Jermaine O’Neal — who had just been easily
scored on by James 27 seconds earlier in transition —
tried to stop another drive by the two-time reigning
MVP with a shoulder check, making no play on the
ball.
A scrum quickly broke out under the basket. O’Neal
earned a flagrant-1, James got a technical for throwing
the ball back at O’Neal, Wade and Pierce also got
technicals for some pushing and jostling, and a small
amount of debris flew from the stands onto the court.
Bosh earned another technical 2 1/2 minutes later
for arguing he tied up a loose ball with Rondo, only to
have referees award Boston a timeout.
The half ended with Miami up 47-40, having held
Boston to a season-low 10 rebounds in the opening 24
minutes.
NOTES: Bosh addressed the crowd before Miami’s
final home regular-season game, saying “We couldn’t
do it without you.” ... Heat C Erick Dampier was inac-
tive, and Miami only got seven minutes from Mike
Miller, who left with a sprained left thumb — not the
one he broke near the start of the season. ... Rivers
said G Carlos Arroyo — who Miami waived earlier REUTERS
this season — gave “us the entire Miami scouting Miami Heat's LeBron James dunks over Boston Celtics' Glen Davis during their
report.” NBA basketball game in Miami Sunday.

Sports brief
Phelps places second twice
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michael
Phelps had a disappointing finish in the
Michigan Grand Prix, placing second in
the 200 individual medley and 100
freestyle Sunday.
“I hate losing, no matter what event,
no matter how out of shape, tired, bro-
ken down — you can say whatever you
want,” Phelps said. “I don’t care. I hate
it.”
Phelps won three events in the three-
day meet after taking five last month in
the Indianapolis Grand Prix.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist
led the 200 individual medley with 50
meters remaining, but was passed down
the stretch by Ous Mellouli, who fin-
ished in a pool-record 1:59.42. Phelps
finished in 1:59.63.
Phelps said after the race that he did-
n’t see Mellouli coming in the final 15
meters, giving Mellouli an open window
of opportunity.

Brand beats Brand at box office

By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The good news for

Russell Brand is that his animated comedy
“Hop” remains the top movie for the second-
straight weekend with $21.7 million.
The bad news is that his new live-action
comedy “Arthur” could not jump as high as

B ric-a-brac. You might have heard “Hop.”

your mom (or a grandparent) use
this term. Wikipedia says it was
first used in the Victorian era and refers to
collections of curious, such as decorated
teacups, small vases, wax flowers, statuettes
and painted miniatures. Nowadays, it refers
to a selection of items of low value, often
sold in street markets. Many people have
another term for these common curios, col-
lections and colorful cups. It’s one all of you
know: crap. Call it whatever you want. If
you are in the mood for spring cleaning and
if your collections have turned from cutesy
to clutter, you can donate them to our sec-
ondhand store, Pick of the Litter, in
Burlingame, where all sales benefit shelter
animals. And we love these low-value items!
They are precisely what we need at our
store, which has been one of the Peninsula’s
real treasure troves for decades. The bric-a-
brac has a valued spot next to gently used fur-
niture, amazingly low-priced books (hard and
soft cover), artwork and enough of a variety
in the used clothing racks to outfit the Village
People, Devo, Liberace, Mrs. Roper, wannabe
cowboys and anyone invited to a disco party.
And don’t stop with your bric-a-brac. Your
towels may have lost some absorbency or no
longer match your new color scheme, but our
shelter dogs won’t mind. They rarely say
“that’s so last year” or complain about a low
thread count. Make a sweep of the garage,
too. With some aggressive spring cleaning,
you may get the entire room back. If you
want to go all out (or “all in” as people say
these day, borrowing from poker parlance),
the seldom-used car taking up a parking spot
inside your garage or driveway would be the
kind of donation that would help dozens of
our most needy animals.

Sony’s “Soul Surfer” debuted at No. 4 with
$11.1 million. The movie features
AnnaSophia Robb in the real-life story of a
surfer struggling toward a comeback after
losing an arm in a shark attack.
The weekend’s other new wide release,
Universal’s medieval action comedy “Your
Highness,” opened at No. 6 with $9.5 million,
weak results given a cast that includes James
Franco and Natalie Portman.
With a solid second weekend, Brand’s
Easter bunny tale “Hop” raised its 10-day
total to $68.2 million. With Easter two weeks
away, the Universal release still has room to
roam at the box office.
“I’m so thrilled that we’re so far ahead of
the pack,” said Nikki Rocco, head of distribu-
tion at Universal.
The poor results for “Your Highness”
dimmed the mood at the studio, which had
hoped more young males would turn out for
the tale starring Franco, Portman and Danny
McBride in a blend of supernatural action and
frat-boy raunchiness.
“It was a risky concept. It was a very outra-
geous movie,” Rocco said. “I wish more of
the male audience had turned out. We always
want it better, but it’s not a total disaster.”
Warner Bros. also had hoped for more out
of “Arthur,” whose revenues came in on the
low side of the studio’s expectations.
According to the studio’s exit surveys,
younger crowds liked “Arthur” much better
Russell Brand had the top two movies at the box office over the weekend.
Top ten movies
1.“Hop,”$21.7 million.
2.“Arthur,”$12.6 million.
3.“Hanna,”$12.3 million.
4.“Soul Surfer,”$11.1 million.
5.“Insidious,”$9.7 million.
6.“Your Highness,”$9.5 million.
7.“Source Code,”$9.1 million.
8.“Limitless,”$5.7 million.
9.“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules,”
$4.9 million.
10.“The Lincoln Lawyer,”$4.6 million.
than those over 50, who likely were compar-
ing it unfavorably to Moore’s beloved origi-
nal version.
“Younger people that went in who probably
weren’t around to see the original came in
with a fresh approach,” said Dan Fellman,
Warner’s head of distribution. “We really have
to maintain the campaign to keep it young and
keep rolling into the spring holidays.”
“Hanna” and “Soul Surfer” were drastical-
ly different portraits of young women, the
former a tale of a girl raised to kill, the latter
an inspirational drama of a competitor fight-
ing back against the odds.
Both movies found solid audiences amid
another weekend of declining business for
Hollywood, whose revenues are down 20.5
percent so far this year compared to 2010’s.
Despite the slowdown, “Soul Surfer” man-
aged to come in a bit ahead of the studio’s
expectations for the weekend.
“It’s a movie that people love. It’s prevail-
ing over adversity in a really big way, and a
movie with tremendous heart,” said Rory
Bruer, head of distribution at Sony.
Revenues have been down virtually every
weekend since last November, a prolonged
decline that has left Hollywood looking
toward the blockbuster-packed summer sea-
son to turn things around.
Last year, Hollywood started strongly then
saw business fade over the summer and
through the holidays. This year, analysts say
the opposite may happen, with a strong sum-
mer and holiday lineup potentially putting
Hollywood back in the black.
“We’re a month from the start of the sum-
mer movie season, and that’s a big deal,” said
Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office
tracker Hollywood.com. “We need summer
now more than ever to get us out of the box-
office doldrums.”

with the loss of state funds means the
district is preparing for nearly $2 million
in cuts.
This will mean losing employees, pro-
grams like summer school and Gifted
and Talented Education, sharing princi-
pals, forgoing crossing guards and let-
ting go of noon duty supervisors, coun-
selor interns and maintenance staff.
Talks have been informal thus far but
the idea isn’t falling on deaf ears.
Mark Intrieri, Burlingame Elementary
School District board president, was
interested.
LAND
Continued from page 1
Demetrios Nikas; Millbrae
Councilwoman Gina Papan; Dave Pine,
trustee of the San Mateo Union High
School District; and Michael Stogner.
District One includes western San
Mateo, Hillsborough, Burlingame,
Millbrae, San Bruno, South San
Francisco east of El Camino Real and
the unincorporated areas of Burlingame
Hills, Highlands/Baywood Park and San
Francisco International Airport. The
newest supervisor represents his or her
district but is chosen by voters county-
wide.
Locking up a new jail
The county made the right decision
not to locate a new correctional facility
near downtown Redwood City, the can-
didates agree. But now that the Board of
Supervisors shelled out $17 million for
land on the other side of Highway 101,
the question is how big — if at all — the
county should build the new jail.
“The bigger, the better,” Stogner said,
with plenty of visiting and program
space.
“There are only three waiting rooms
currently for women inmates which is
brutal when a lot of them are mothers,”
he said.
He’s also interested in changing how
the jail operates some services, such as
allowing visitors to schedule times
online — an option he said is used in
Santa Clara County — rather than
requiring an in-person request followed
by a lengthy wait.
Holober said he doesn’t have a magic
number for bed size, but his current
inclination is not to build a facility big-
ger than the current 868-bed jail on
Bradford Street.
“I think the sheriff’s notion of framing
the jail with an unfinished floor is a
thoughtful approach that saves some
costs now and allows for expansion,” he
said.
He’d also like to work on ways to
lower how many people even become
inmates through incarceration alterna-
tives and fewer probation violations
based on technicalities rather than seri-
ous conduct. Those decisions are up to
the courts rather than the Board of
Supervisors, but Holober believes the
two can work together. Preventative pro-
grams and returning probation officers
to schools are also vital ways of identi-
fying problems among youth and get-
ting their lives turned around before
they reach the point of incarceration, he
said.
Nearly every candidate said the ques-
tion is complicated because of
unknowns from the state which, if the
governor gets his way, will incarcerate
some prisoners with less than three-year
terms at the county level.
“My instinct is we will fill a prison no
matter what size it is,” said Pine, refer-
ring to a local jail.
The potential state population on top
of the local jail’s current inmates leaves
the county no other options, Nagel said.
“But we shouldn’t just build 700 beds
LOCAL/CALENDAR
“If we can maintain services at an
acceptable level and save money,” he
said, the district should be considering
it.
Burlingame Chief Business Officer
Robert Clark agreed, it’s a conversation
to which the district is open. Initial talks
had begun for different services over the
past year but nothing has yet to materi-
alize.
In July, the South San Francisco
Unified School District Board of
Trustees began brainstorming ways to
raise revenue in difficult budget years.
Among the unique ideas listed was cul-
tivating partnerships with cities and
other school districts.
Board President Maurice Goodman
expressed an interest at the time at part-
nering with the college district to offer
without figuring out
first what we can get
by with,” she said.
Having visited the
county’s facilities,
Pine said he’s seen
the overcrowding
and deplorable con-
ditions but is also
concerned about the Richard Holober
debt service and
operating costs of a
new facility.
In addition to
building the jail,
he’d like the county
to work closely with
the judiciary on
alternatives like
electronic home
monitoring and Terry Nagel
more release on own
recognizance pend-
ing trial.
“I’d want to write
an op-ed with any-
one else who joins
me to say to judges
that we can’t neces-
sarily afford to keep
everybody in prison
if they are not a safe- Demetrios Nikas
ty hazard,” he said.
Nagel also likes the idea of alterna-
tives and points to an Office of
Education program in Sacramento that
has cut recidivism down to 4.5 percent.
The program costs $2.2 million a year
but saves $8 million to $10 million
annually, she said.
“There’s got to be a way to get less
critical offenders out of the jails and not
returning,” she said.
Rehabilitation is one part. Possibly
electronic monitoring, too, she said.
Papan echoes the thought that a new
jail must also come with new commit-
ment to alternatives and rehabilitation as
well as in-custody programs like GED
and parenting classes.
The county’s inmate population is not
“a problem that can be fixed purely with
building,” she said, adding a preference
for phased construction.
Pine would like to see ways to cut
down inmate transportation costs from a
new jail to the Redwood City Hall of
Justice like satellite courthouses.
Nikas wants to know if the county
even has the money for a jail.
“If the county is supposed to work for
the benefit of its residents, what benefit
is it to me to have a jail?” he asked. “Is
it because the money is from the state?
We can’t just put in a jail for the sake of
a jail.”
Nikas doesn’t dispute the current
Maguire Correctional Facility and
women’s jail are overcrowded, but said
questions need to be answered about the
types of crimes for which inmates are
incarcerated. Stogner, too, thinks not
every jail inmate should be in custody,
particularly when room is scarce.
“If we’re talking about anyone on a
marijuana or shoplifting charge, cut
them loose. A child molester or wife
beater, though, that’s different,” Stogner
said.
Smart move?
The county’s real estate portfolio
classes. While the idea of shared servic-
es, with any agency, hasn’t been vetted
at this point, Goodman remains open to
the idea.
In the San Bruno Park Elementary
School District, looking for opportuni-
ties to share administrative services at
the district office level has been
explored for some time.
Superintendent David Hutt explained
the board has an interest in exploring
options any time a vacancy — in their
district or others — appears. That could
be for superintendent, business services
or even food services, he said.

needs a good assess-
ment to ensure build-
ings aren’t sitting
empty and depart-
ments aren’t throw-
ing away $200,000
to $600,000 on rent
when they could be
in county-owned
facilities, Papan
Gina Papan
said.
“That is not some-
thing I will permit,”
she said.
Pine isn’t quite
sure about Papan’s
focus on cleaning up
the county’s real
estate portfolio but
agrees it certainly
needs to maximize
Dave Pine its assets.
“Like the Expo
Center,” he said,
referring to the San
Mateo County Event
Center. “There might
be other parcels that
are also underuti-
lized. I guess to
answer we have to
Michael Stogner do a thorough inven-
tory of all properties
and buildings.”
The county’s $40 million purchase of
the twin Circle Star properties in San
Carlos was a smart decision because it
will ultimately free up hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in lease payments by
moving departments to owned build-
ings, the candidates nearly all agree.
“It may take down reserves now, but
a few years out we’ll hit a break even
point,” Pine said.
Papan and Holober also call the
Circle Star buy a good investment in
the county’s future with the potential
for millions of dollars in savings.
“We need to get back to basics and
do more with less,” Papan said.
Holober understands why the initial
investment might seem a hefty amount
to shell out for buildings.
“It makes a lot more sense to own
properties than to lease over the long
run. We spend $13 million in rent so
I’d much prefer to see the county
move stuff or even rent out space to
bring in money. We must take advan-
tage of the buyer’s market,” Holober
said.
In contrast, Stogner said he can’t
adequately assess the Circle Star pur-
chase because the decision was “a
very private move” without much pub-
lic vetting.
“How would we know?” he asked.
“I know so little about that transaction
but it does not come across as trans-
parent or that they publicly said they
were looking for buildings.”
Regardless, he doesn’t much like the
idea.
“Here we are in a time of tremendous
deficit and they miraculously found
some buildings and some money? What
do they get in exchange?” he asked.

It could prove to be highly advantageous for you to
get more deeply involved in some kind of club or
organizational activity in the year ahead. Contacts

more ways than one.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would only work to
your disadvantage to alienate a partner over a petty
issue. As events unfold later on in the day, you’ll be
glad you stayed in the good graces of this ally.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Mishandling others will
lead to your undoing, so be careful that you do not
rub anybody the wrong way, especially over a low-
stakes matter. Be thoughtful at all times.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There’s a good chance
you could encounter someone who is as strong-willed
as you are, so if you feel yourself being pushed to the
wall, walk away rather than responding in kind.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Evaluate people
realistically and handle them appropriately, because
underestimating a competitor would most assuredly
deprive you of what you hope to achieve.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Attentively waiting to get all
the pertinent facts will help you avoid reacting nega-
tively to the ideas of others before you know what
they’re talking about. Patience is your friend.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Involvement with the
wrong people could prove to be very expensive for
you. Be wary of anybody who tries to profit in some CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If someone you hold

wants a chance that night to argue
there might still be a chance for the
Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department.
“I’m still hoping we can sit down
with Belmont and put it back
together. It’s an awfully long shot,
but I’ve looked at the current budg-
et and tried to extrapolate what it
could look like next year,” Grassilli
said.
Grassilli is still penciling out
numbers and agrees, even with
labor concessions and other tweaks,
the savings to San Carlos will fall
short of the estimates offered by the
alternatives. He also knows much
would depend on Belmont agreeing
on how to divvy up the costs. San
Carlos currently pays more.
Yet, he’s optimistic that the
Belmont City Council voted 3 to 2
in favor of mediation, saying it
shows they are at least willing to
listen.
Matt Grocott, the sole detractor in
San Carlos’ decision to send the
dissolution letter and one of the
joint power authority’s architects,
said he’s looking forward to hearing
Grassilli’s proposal. He is also
hopeful about mediation although
he does wonder when it will actual-
ly happen.
San Carlos councilmembers have
waited more than month to sit down
with Belmont and a retired judge
hired by the county to mediate
between the two. San Carlos had
approached the county about
receiving service from its provider,
Cal Fire. Instead, a finance subcom-
mittee declined and told the two
cities to work out their differences
in hopes of a larger, regional fire
department in the future.
Mayor Omar Ahmad agreed to
mediation Feb. 15, the same day it
was suggested by county supervi-
sors Carole Groom and Adrienne
Tissier at a meeting on possible fire
service, and the full council agreed
two weeks later. The Belmont City
Council followed March 22 with its
own favorable vote.
But since the two votes, no medi-
ation has been scheduled and San
Carlos officials say they can’t wait
much longer.
“Each day that goes by we’re
both proceeding on our own paths,”
Grassilli said.
April 24
He’s not certain April 24 has to
be the hard-and-fast deadline but
said he’s as unclear as anybody why
two bodies that agreed to mediation
can’t manage to actually sit down.
One hurdle may be figuring out
who will be at the table. The San
Carlos City Council already named
fire board member Ahmad and
Councilman Randy Royce to the
mediation team while Belmont
selected councilmembers and fire
board members Warren Lieberman
and Christine Wozniak. Belmont’s
city attorney now suggests either
picking new members or a single
representative from each to avoid
confusion this is a fire board meet-
ing, said San Carlos Assistant City
LOCAL
Manger Brian
Moura.
However,
Councilman
Andy Klein said
having a sole
appointee from
each city is
“really foolish.”
Christine “We need
Wozniak three on each
council to agree
and it’s really hard to go from one
to three. It’s good to have two who
agree in that room who can go back
to the council to present,” he said.
Another option suggested is con-
ducting a facilitated public meeting
rather than private mediation.
The Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department dissolves Oct. 13. The
Belmont City Council, which has a
dedicated revenue stream for fire
service, has been quite vocal about
its favoring a stand-alone depart-
ment. San Carlos, too, is looking
elsewhere which is why the council
plans April 18 to hear more details
on recently received bids. If the city
makes a decision on its future fire
service on that date or the following
April 25 meeting, “it appears that
mediation may soon be rendered
moot,” Moura wrote in a report to
the council.
If the City Council doesn’t agree
Monday to an April 24 drop-dead
date, it may also simply agree to
step away from mediation all
together.
Even though city staff is recom-
mending April 18 for proposal pre-
sentations, they also offer up April
25 which would give the city’s fire
and EMS consultants TriData the
chance to evaluate each bid.
Klein hopes the council opts for
the presentations and council ques-
tions at the first meeting, followed
by TriData’s findings the following
week.
Although Wackenhut proposes
more savings for San Carlos,
Redwood City Manager Bob Bell
and Fire Chief Jim Skinner told the
City Council in a memo they
believe the city’s offer is “better
suited” to provide municipal fire
and EMS services. The pair say the
deal could also spell savings or
increased revenue for Redwood
City.
The Redwood City Council on
Monday night will be asked to
greenlight Bell and Skinner contin-
uing discussions with San Carlos.
Hybrid model
Redwood City submitted its orig-
inal $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 Wackenhut 10-year contract
proposal offers multiple service
options ranging from a baseline, or
status quo, of three firefighters per
station for $4 million to a deluxe
option with four firefighters and
equipment for $4.6 million annual-
ly initially. The more extensive
option would increase costs to $5.4
million in the final year of the con-
tract.
Monday • April 11, 2011 27
In a summary released Monday,
Moura called Wackenhut’s last
offer a substantial drop from the
$7.1 million annual cost and 30 per-
cent cost increase San Carlos has
experienced over the past five years
with its joint fire department.
But Grassilli said analyzing the
proposals is about more than sim-
ply picking the lowest bidder.
“These guys have been very loyal
and given us a real good department
that is well respected in the county
and region,” Grocott said, referring
to the firefighters and Chief Doug
Fry. “Knocking them down on the
pay scale by going to a private firm
is like throwing them under the
bus.”
Grocott said the better choice is
working with the union to negotiate
reductions.
Grassilli and Grocott say the ulti-
mate goal is probably a regional
model with either the two cities
separate or together, although
Grassilli thinks the JPA offers more
as a unit.
Grassilli said residents shouldn’t
worry that the lack of fire decision
now means there won’t be some-
thing in place by October.
“Whatever way we go, we’re
going to have fire service. The
question is just what it is going to
be,” he said.
The San Carlos City Council
meets 7 p.m. Monday, April 11 at
City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.
