Should enrollment or funding
diminish further by October, San
Bruno Superintendent David Hutt is
suggesting a trigger cut that would
close two elementary schools El
Crystal and Crestmoor.
Up until this point, the conversa-
tion about
school closure
has focused on
one school,
Crestmoor. The
committee put
together to dis-
cuss which
school should be
closed recom-
mended combining two schools by
relocating the Crestmoor communi-
ty into Rollingwood or Portola, both
of which have space for the stu-
dents. On Friday, Hutt released a
report recommending two schools
be closed in the succeeding school
year if the district faces a budget
deficit of $250,000 or more in
October or the neighborhood enroll-
ment drops by 30 or more students
at any of the elementary schools
compared to current enrollment.
The proposal will go before the San
Bruno Park Elementary School
Board of Trustees as an action item
during a special meeting
Wednesday at Crestmoor.
The proposal surprised El Crystal
PTA President Vince Carini. El
Crystal wasnt previously part of the
closure conversation. Now, with few
opportunities to comment, the
school could be closed soon. A
community meeting will be held at
El Crystal 4 p.m. today to discuss
the proposal.

The countys mosquito abatement
district, scrutinized for a former
nance directors alleged embezzle-
ment of more than $400,000, should
adopt a budget with a narrative for-
mat detailing revenue and their uses
in a way that can be independently
read and understood by the public,
according to a county review of the
agencys operations and gover-
nance.
The draft report, known as a
municipal service review and sphere
of inuence, on the Mosquito and

cluded that dissolving the agency
and folding it into another county
function like environmental health
could save hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually by consolidating
services and eliminating its 21-

Beautiful Bulldog contest
winner gives good face
DES MOINES, Iowa Tyson, a
beloved English bulldog, doesnt bite
ears like his namesake, boxer Mike
Tyson, but he does share a title cham-
pion.
The two-year-old pup with a fetching
face and a winning personality was
crowned the winner of this years
Beautiful Bulldog pageant Monday in
Des Moines, Iowa.
Hes kind of compact. Hes got the
one big roll and the spot over his eye,
said owner Tyler Motter, of Urbandale,
Iowa. His personality is amazing.
Tyson beat out 49 other pups for the
honor Monday in the tongue-in-cheek
contest, now in its 33rd year, which
kicks off festivities at the annual Drake
Relays track and eld meet.
Tyson beat out a cast of costumed and
cleverly named characters, such as
RocketMan, Matilda Rose and Chief
McBeef. Applications were submitted
for more than 100 dogs, and the eld
was whittled down to 50 by a lottery.
A panel of judges chose six slobbering
pups for the nals. The ones that werent
as lucky as Tyson still competed for
titles, such as Mr. Congeniality and
Best Dressed.
The slickest costume award went to
Fletcher, who was dressed as massive
barbeque sandwich made famous by
Jethros, a nearby restaurant.
Fletchers owner, Brad Neal of West
Des Moines, said it took roughly 80
hours to put together the unique outt.

Emergency improvements recommended
after the deadly 2010 San Bruno explosion
were not implemented in a timely fashion
and the county continues coordinating pro-
longed disasters in a jury room with limited
cellphone capability, inadequate land lines
and no dedicated emergency functions,
according to the San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury.
In a report issued yesterday, the grand jury
recommended Sheriff Greg Munks require
the Office of Emergency Service within 45
days revise its internal guidelines to include
a formal follow-up measuring its progress
and that he and the Board of Supervisors
establish a fully-equipped and functional
emergency office center.
Munks said he couldnt agree more on a
new operations center and thinks one solu-
tion may be creating a spot alongside the new
jail on Chemical Way. If the county moves its
public safety communications center, too, the
three could fit well together, Munks said.
They need a survivable building. We need
a survivable building. In a disaster, we work
closely together and this might be a solu-
tion, Munks said, adding that finding $15
million to $20 million for a new project
could prove challenging.
Munks said the county does have backup
plans for a center in case the existing one is
unusable, including portable module tents
and space at the Coyote Point gun range.
Munks said hes also interested in taking a
hard look at the list of improvements that
were not met by their deadlines and make
sure OES does a better job of following up.
The report was sparked by the state of
emergency declared for the county because
of the Sept. 9, 2010 blaze that killed eight
and caused more than $100 million in dam-
age to private and public property. OES was
required to file an after action/corrective
action report with the state documenting its
response, identifying any problems and suc-
cesses during the incident and establishing a
plan for improvements.
The civil grand jury noted in its report that
nine of the 13 items listed for improvement
were not completed in a timely manner and
seven of those were still unnished as of
January.
Many of the items involved staff training.
Others include integrating the Red Cross into
the emergency operations structure and shar-
ing information, researching cellphone cover-
age and finding solutions to connectivity
problems, clarifying the policy on radio dis-
tribution and creating a joint information cen-
ter at the site.
While looking at the OES list, the jury also
was struck to learn that the underground jury
assembly room in the Redwood City-based
Hall of Justice is designated as the primary
emergency office center for coordinating
large-scale efforts despite its deciencies like
a lack of adequate phone reception and the
displacement of hundreds of jurors.
The jury called the use of the spacious, but
severely limited, room unsuitable.
In response to the San Bruno disaster, the
11-member OES helped establish an incident
command system at two San Bruno sites,
coordinate assignments and equipment deliv-
eries, notied residents by phone to evacuate
and coordinated daily meetings with agencies
from San Bruno, the county and the state. The
office also continued providing personnel
through the recovery phase, helped with dis-
aster and FEMA applications and operated
the local assistance center for victims.
However, according to the grand jury
report, OES didnt follow recommended
steps to gather data using workshops with
involved emergency response agencies, did
not invite San Bruno public safety represen-
tatives to a Nov. 23, 2010 debriefing session
and did not send copies of the AA/CA report
to San Bruno representatives. Several people
listed in the report were unaware their names
were even connected to specific issues or
problems, the report stated.
Some areas of the county will always have
faulty cellphone coverage so Munks said he
is looking at the countys cache of satellite
phones as an alternative.
The jury also noted with respect to the
disaster and OES response that a joint
information center was not in place at the
disaster site, the Health Department was
denied portable radios to use, $3,200 worth
of white status boards were not purchased
because of budget constraints and cell-
phone coverage at the scene was overloaded
and spotty.
The contact person identified in the after-
action report said he didnt know it was his
responsibility, the report stated.
Grand jury reports carry no legal weight
but recipients must respond in writing within
90 days.

teocourt.org/grandjury.

Its time again for Knight Moves
XIV, the annual dance concert put on by
the Hillsdale High School Dance
Ensemble. Dance Director Sabrina
Braccini has once again put together an
exciting, emotional, fun and inspiring
performance of contemporary, lyrical,
jazz, hip hop and even country dance
pieces that will delight audiences of all
ages.
The 22 young ladies who make up the
dance ensemble have been preparing
since September for the big show, and
now are anxious to put their best feet
forward. They will be joined by 21
young men who have also been practic-
ing for months for this year-end extrav-
aganza. And theres no telling what
might happen at the show. Last year, for
example, it actually rained onstage for
the final number to Under My
Umbrella.
This year, due to construction going
on in the auditorium, the show has been
moved to the recently renovated, beauti-
ful and intimate Little Theater. The
trade-off is that the Little Theater is
much smaller than the auditorium, so
Knight Moves XIV will be held for six
performances on two weekends,
Thursday, April 26 through Sunday,
April 28 and Thursday, May 3 through
Sunday, May 5. To reserve seats, call
Braccini at 558-2623 and, if necessary,

LOCAL/STATE
Driver to trial for fatal crash
A San Bruno man accused of running a
red light and crashing into another vehicle
before eeing the
scene will stand trial
on four felonies stem-
ming from the inci-
dent that left a 60-
year-old woman
dead.
Mitnesh Reddy, 22,
has pleaded not guilty
to vehicular
manslaughter while
under the inuence
and with gross negligence, felony driving
under the inuence causing injury, felony
driving with .08 or higher blood alcohol
level causing injuries and felony hit and
run causing death. However, on Friday, a
judge held Reddy to answer on all counts.
Just before 4 a.m. Nov. 17, prosecutors
say Reddy ran a stoplight on El Camino
Real and T-boned a vehicle exiting
Interstate 380 in San Bruno. The other
driver, 60-year-old Sondra Gentile, was
killed while Reddy took off after the colli-
sion. The crash shut down the section of
El Camino Real between Sneath Lane and
San Bruno Avenue for several hours.
Meanwhile, San Bruno police tracked the
car, which is registered to Reddy, back to
his home where he was arrested.
He is free from custody on a $25,000
bail bond. He returns to court May 8 to
enter a Superior Court plea and possibly
set a trial date.
If convicted, he faces up to 11 years in
prison.
Millbrae to discuss budget
Cutting each department by 5 percent is
part of Millbraes proposed budget for
2012-13, which will be discussed
Tuesday.
Millbraes revenue is anticipated to
raise from $17.78 million to $18.64 mil-
lion next year, however expenditures are
similarly rising from $17.78 million to
$18.13 million, according to a staff report
by Finance Director LaRae Brown.
In addition to departmental reductions,
the budget estimate includes $250,000
toward a joint re station to test shared
services. The city is planning for the elim-
ination of the Redevelopment Agency.
Lastly, the budget only counts on employ-
ee concessions of 5 percent to continue
through June 30, 2012, when the agree-
ment expires.
The budget does not include a number

Six cars in accident
on Ralston Avenue
A 39-year-old man driving a Toyota
Camry Sunday night in Belmont was
unable to stop for trafc on Ralston
Avenue and struck a sport-utility vehicle
in front of him, causing a multi-vehicle
collision with at least four other cars,
according to police.
The incident happened on the 2100
block of Ralston Avenue at about 6:30
p.m. Sunday.
Upon being struck, the SUV crossed the
center median and collided with a Mazda
minivan that was westbound on Ralston
Avenue, according to police. After collid-
ing with the SUV, the Toyota continued
eastbound and struck a sedan causing a
chain-reaction collision with other vehi-
cles. In total, six vehicles, including the
Toyota, were involved in the incident,
Nine people, the six drivers of the
involved vehicles and three passengers in
the Toyota, were treated at the scene by
Belmont Fire Department paramedics.
The driver of the Toyota and his passen-
gers were transported to area hospitals
with minor injuries.
While alcohol was not a factor in the
collision, preliminary information indi-
cates that speed may have contributed,
Hearing to set procedures
in sheriff s ethics case
The city ethics commission plans to set
the ground rules Monday for the miscon-
duct case against Ross
Mirkarimi, the sheriff
who was suspended
after being charged
with domestic vio-
lence.
The meeting of the
ve-member commis-
sion comes after
months of drama sur-
rounding the former
city supervisor and
recently elected sheriff. Mirkarimi last
month pleaded guilty to one count of mis-
demeanor false imprisonment after being
accused of bruising the arm of his wife,
Venezuelan actress Eliana Lopez, during a

State death penalty ban
qualifies for Nov. ballot
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A measure to abolish Californias
death penalty qualied for the November ballot on Monday.
If it passes, the 725 California inmates now on Death Row
will have their sentences converted to life in prison without the
possibility of parole. It would also make life without parole the
harshest penalty prosecutors can seek.
Backers of the measure say abolishing the death penalty will
save the state millions of dollars through layoffs of prosecutors
and defense attorneys who handle death penalty cases, as well
as savings from not having to maintain the nations largest
death row at San Quentin prison.
Those savings, supporters argue, can be used to help
unsolved crimes. If the measure passes, $100 million in pur-
ported savings from abolishing the death penalty would be
used over three years to investigate unsolved murders and
rapes.
The measure is dubbed the Savings, Accountability, and
Full Enforcement for California Act, also known as the SAFE
California Act. Its the fth measure to qualify for the
November ballot, the California secretary of state announced
Monday. Supporters collected more than the 504,760 valid sig-
natures needed to place the measure on the ballot.
Our system is broken, expensive and it always will carry the
grave risk of a mistake, said Jeanne Woodford, the former
warden of San Quentin who is now an anti-death penalty advo-
cate and an ofcial supporter of the measure.
The measure will also require most inmates sentenced to life
without parole to nd jobs within prisons.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Belmont residents will likely see
their sewer bills increase as the city
needs to raise extra revenue to pay off
some outstanding debt and to fund
repair and replacement of the citys
aging sewer system.
Rates are likely to increase up to
19 percent in the next two years if
the council moves forward with the
hike and calls for a Proposition 218
notication, which allows residents
to protest the proposed increase. By
scal year 2016-17, the rates will
likely climb up to 42 percent if the
council OKs a staff recommenda-
tion.
Mayor Dave Warden is not thrilled
about having to raise the rates.
It seems like it has already dou-
bled in the last seven or eight
years, Warden told the Daily
Journal yesterday. It does not
excite me to have to raise the rate. It
is not a decision I want to make.
The average residents current
sewer rate in Belmont is $42.31 a
month, according to city staff. Next
year it will climb to $46.33 and the
rate will climb to $50.50 in Fiscal
Year 2013-14, if the council approves
the increase and a majority of resi-
dents do not oppose the new rate
structure.
City staff is asking the council to
approve rate hikes for the next two
years and has set up a scenario for
revenue needs going out to ve years.
By FY 2016-17, the rate is pro-
posed to climb to $60.14 a month to
help fund the repair and replacement
of the sewer systems infrastructure
and pay down bond service debt.
Part of the increase is due to esca-
lating cost related to recent capital
projects by the South Bayside
System Authority, which treats
wastewater.
About 42 percent of sewer-related
cost, or $2.6 million annually, is
related to SBSA wastewater treat-
ment cost, according to city staff.
Failure to adjust the rates will put
the city in jeopardy of not meeting its
debt obligations, according to city
staff.
Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach
knows the sewer system needs to be
xed but said the rate increase seems
high.
I dont want my rates to raise
either, she told the Daily Journal.
Id like to hear from the public for
some solutions.
The city also currently only sets
aside about $250,000 annually for
repair and replacement, an inade-
quate amount, according to city staff.
Currently, the city spends about
$930,000 annually to cover debt
expenses related to sewer infrastruc-
ture upgrades. The city, however,
does not currently have a capital
funding plan for future sewer service
needs, it has been dealing with repair
and replacement annually through
the current rates.
Without a rate increase, the city
will not be able to fund future repair
and replacement, according to city
staff.
Commercial rates will also go up
proportionately.
Warden said the city may consider
issuing more bonds to pay for sewer
infrastructure needs in the future.
Rates will have to go up, however,
with or without extra bond revenue,
he said.
We are basically being told we
have to raise the rates or the sky will
fall, Warden said.
He will wait to hear a staff report
tonight before making a decision on
the proposed rate increase.
Feierbach said the city may take a
longer look at sewer laterals, which
connects homes with the main sewer
system. Sewer laterals in disrepair,
she said, can also impact the larger
system.
The City Council meets 7:30 p.m.,
tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane,
Belmont.
City has to raise sewer rates
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Installing cameras to curb prob-
lems with vandalism, loitering and
alcohol and drug use in the 10-foot-
wide paved pedestrian walkway
known as Memory Lane would cost
an estimated $8,000.
Fourteen property owners whose
homes run up against the easement
and the owner of Grace Honda previ-
ously approached the city about clos-
ing Memory Lane in hopes of stop-
ping ongoing problems. In February,
the City Council postponed a deci-
sion on possibly closing the walkway
and instead instructed staff to collect
more information about alternatives.
In March, the City Council pointed to
the installation of cameras and bol-
lards to keep vehicles from the area
as a likely rst step in addressing the
problem but asked for more informa-
tion, including costs, for a variety of
options. On Tuesday, staff will pro-
vide more information on those
options for the council to discuss.
Cameras would cost $8,000 to
install, City Attorney Marc Zafferano
wrote in a staff report. The bollards,
which would be designed to include
motion sensor lights, would cost
$13,000. To make the curbs meet the
American Disability Act require-
ments would cost about $20,000.
Councilman Michael Salazar
requested staff create a cost esti-
mate to simply fence off the walk-
ways access points the preferred
option to residents living in that
area. A chain-link fence would cost
about $6,200 while a more robust
black metal fence would cost
$13,000.
Closing the walkway, however,
isnt that simple. Since it is currently
open to the public, there is a legal
public process that would need to
happen rst, Zafferano explained at
the previous public meeting.
Zafferano added he didnt believe
staff could recommend the closure
given recent feedback that its used
by the public.
Memory Lane is a pedestrian
and bike path that crosses Elm
Avenue, Poplar Avenue, Linden
Avenue and Grace Honda ending
at El Camino Real. The paved
walkway is connected across resi-
dential streets by crosswalks.
Lastly, attorney Jennifer Rice, who
was representing the owner of Grace
Honda, spoke at the March meeting
and noted the business had an interest
in expanding. From the citys point of
view, expansion could cause an issue
as a water main runs below that por-
tion of Memory Lane. Moving that
water main could cost $440,000,
Zafferano wrote.
The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
April 24 at the Senior Center, 1555
Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno.

T
hroughout California and across the
nation communities are coming
together this April to recognize Sexual
Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. In
President Obamas 2012 Presidential
Proclamation he wrote, Though we have
come far in the ght to reduce sexual violence,
the prevalence of sexual assault remains an
affront to our national conscience that we can-
not ignore. This month, we stand with sur-
vivors of sexual assault, join together to break
the silence and recommit to ending this devas-
tating crime.
Rape Trauma Services of San Mateo County
invites community members to join us to take
a stand against sexual violence at our fourth
annual fundraising walk Saturday, April 28.
RTS provides services to children and adults
who have been hurt by the trauma of sexual
assault or abuse, and it is the only agency in
San Mateo County working to prevent and
respond to sexual violence. On Wednesday,
Dec. 14, 2011, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention released the 2010 National
Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey.
The survey data shows that sexual violence
continues to be a serious public health issue;
nearly one in two women (44.6 percent) and
one in ve men (22.2 percent) experience sex-
ual violence other than rape. Many of these
victims experienced sexual violence in their
youth. The NISVS data shows that a majority
of female survivors are raped before age 25,
and more than one-fourth of male survivors
were rst raped at or before age 10. The
impact of child sexual abuse left untreated can
impact victims into adulthood; Exposure to
sexual violence can result in serious long-term
physical and mental health
problems including depres-
sion, self-destructive
behavior, anxiety, feelings
of isolation and stigma,
shame, poor self-esteem,
difculty in trusting others,
a tendency toward re-vic-
timization, substance abuse
and sexual maladjustment
current health problems.
Without interactive learning experiences as
those provided by Rape Trauma Services our
students would be deprived of a valuable edu-
cational opportunity which can adversely affect
their lives and ultimately contribute to the cost
of health care in our community, said James
Cresta, teacher at El Camino High School.
We at RTS believe that no one should have
to face this trauma alone. To be able to end the
cycle of violence, every survivor deserves to
have someone they can turn to for support. For
many in San Mateo County, the only person a
survivor feels safe enough to turn to is one of
the sexual assault counselors at RTS. To con-
tinue to provide and expand these services,
RTS needs your help. RTS provides no-cost
condential services to thousands of San
Mateo County residents each year including a
24-hour hotline, advocacy and accompaniment
through the medical and legal process, coun-
seling services and prevention workshops in
schools and community organizations.
Patricia Keme, the community school coor-
dinator at Gareld Elementary School said,
RTS has been incredibly committed and
proactive about getting involved with our
school and community, offering support and
vision for possible projects that would support
our students in both a preventive manner as
well as giving specic students and grade lev-
els a more intensive, responsive support.
RTS relies heavily on community support to
be able to provide these services. Currently,
California contributes only $1.50 per victim of
sexual violence in state funding for rape crisis
services. This year, amidst declining private
and public funding, RTS is holding its fourth
annual fundraising walk to be able to continue
to provide and expand services. Supporters are
invited to participate in the 2.5-mile walk from
Burlingames Washington Park to City Hall
April 28 to increase consciousness of sexual
assault in our community and raise funds for
RTS. Supporters who are unable to attend are
invited to make a donation quickly and secure-
ly at the event website:
https://www.events.org/RTSSMC01/donation.a
spx?o=572. Every donation helps to ensure
that RTS can continue to provide supportive
services to survivors and their families and
shows your commitment to ending sexual vio-
lence in our community.

D
ependable water service and sewage
collection and treatment are among
the most basic services delivered to a
community. No one wants to turn on their
faucet and see it run dry, or experience a sewer
line break and loss of sewer service in their
neighborhood. These services are funded only
from water and sewer rates, not from any other
source such as city general funds or taxes.
Every penny paid in water and sewer rates
goes back into those systems, and none of
those funds are used for any other purpose.
Unfortunately, there are signicant, escalat-
ing costs involved with ensuring Redwood
Citys water and sewer infrastructures are in
good working order. When the citys cost of
providing those services goes up, the rates
must be raised to fund those increasing costs.
Thats whats been happening for the last
few years our costs to provide safe, reliable
water and sewer services continue to increase.
Consequently, the city is in the position of pro-
posing increases in customer rates to keep up.
This year, the recommended increase is about
$4 a month for water service, and about $5 a
month for sewer service.
These difcult economic times are a struggle
for many people, and we share our residents
anxiety about escalating
monthly bills. It may be
some consolation that even
with these proposed
increases, Redwood Citys
water and sewer rates will
still be at or below average
for Peninsula communities.
People count on depend-
able water and sewer serv-
ice but its important to
understand that there is a huge technical infra-
structure behind the scenes that must be main-
tained to keep the water owing and the sewer
system operating.
Our water rates need to fund $10 million
annually over the next 30 years for our com-
munitys share of the Hetch Hetchy pipeline
seismic upgrade. That cost is reected through
signicant increases in our wholesale cost of
water. Were also funding $80 million over the
next 20 years for the repair, replacement and
maintenance of Redwood Citys drinking
water system.
Sewer rates need to fund Redwood Citys
share to replace outdated facilities at the waste-
water treatment plant $200 million over the
next 10 years, based on our communitys por-
tion of the plants usage. Plus, the ongoing
repair and replacement of the Citys aging
sewer infrastructure is estimated at $100 mil-
lion over the next 10 years. Without annual
rate increases, there would not be enough
funding to carry out this program, putting parts
of our sewer system at increased risk of failure.
These proposed increases are not something
thats taken lightly. Theyre being proposed
only after the most thoughtful consideration of
how to structure them so that the impact to
households and businesses is as moderate as
possible; in fact we use a rate stabilization
fund for water rates to smooth out the wide
uctuations in wholesale water rates.
The City Council will be considering this
proposal at a public hearing on May 7. The
community is invited to attend and be part of
the discussion, and I encourage everyone to
visit redwoodcity.org/water to learn more
about this proposal.
Alicia Aguirre is the mayor of Redwood City.
Sexual assault awareness and prevention
The need to increase water and sewer
Admirable decision
A
ndy Kleins life is now none of my
business. Your business, neither.
Thats how the former San Carlos
mayor wanted it
when he abruptly
resigned last
Wednesday to
focus on personal
issues away from
the glare of public
life. And for those
for us tired of
Mirkarimi, Lockyer
and every other
politician who
doesnt know when
to throw in the
towel and prioritize
ones own well-being over ones sense of enti-
tlement, thats how we should want it, too.
This time last week, the hottest thing hap-
pening in San Carlos was the lingering sting
from the Carlos Club permit vote and debate
whether the nightclub is really for sale on
Craigslist. This week, the most pressing matter
is getting the city budget in line and gearing up
for the citywide volunteer day.
In between these two relatively mundane
points, Klein shocked the community and a
slew of scrambling reporters facing a deadline
by announcing he was stepping down not just
from his mayoral spot but the entire City
Council. Some details were offered. A divorce.
Alcohol. Treatment. Many a rumor was oated
and admittedly continues to be raised in casual
conversation. The annual political fest known
as the Progress Seminar in Monterey. Maybe
another brush with the law. Simple foolishness,
all around.
But how Klein chose to deal with the matter
is why the city is able to now focus on nding
a suitable replacement and continue on with
more staid matters like the budget or how in
the heck to make Wheeler Plaza a reality
rather than wondering when the next public
gaffe might be or scratching our collective
head over erratic behavior. For Klein, it never
came to that. In fact, it may have never have
become a public spectacle in the mode of other
ofcials past, present and future but he obvi-
ously nipped the possibility in the bud.
Disgraced former Alameda County
Supervisor Nadia Lockyer could take a page
from that book. Granted, Lockyer nally did
relinquish her seat late last week but not before
damaging her public persona, her political
career and the trust voters placed in her by
shepherding the relatively political novice into
public ofce. She waited too long.
By all accounts, Lockyer has a lot of crazi-
ness propelling her odd behavior. Drugs, adul-
tery, abuse, lies, email shes a Lifetime
movie unto herself. Lets hope she gets it
together for the sake of herself and her family.
And lets hope her county and constituents can
move on in the way San Carlos is able to do so
because of Kleins choice.
Government can be absurd enough without
the personal dramas; it doesnt need partici-
pants whose focus is admittedly elsewhere or
should be. Likewise, life is often even more
unpredictable; it doesnt need the public
microscope magnifying ones feet of clay.
In the days since his announcement, Kleins
decision has been applauded in letters, in
chats, in columns, online. For whatever its
worth, I would feel remiss not to add the same
sentiment. The thoughtful reaction speaks well
not only of him, but also of the San Carlos and
San Mateo County communities that under-
stand the differences between being a fallible
human being and being a politician, and can
appreciate someone knowing when to separate
the two.
Without being privy to anything more about
Kleins situation, his decision to resign is
admirable and he has every right, if he takes it,
to tell the world to mind its own business.
Ironically, though, his decision to leave
might be a very good indication of character
we should expect in those who stay.

NEW YORK A collection of wor-
rying news out of Europe sent stocks
sharply lower on Monday.
The Dutch government collapsed
Monday, a day after French President
Nicolas Sarkozy lost the rst round of
that countrys presidential election. A
new report showed that European gov-
ernment debt continues to pile up despite
severe budget cuts, which have led to
unrest and political upheaval across the
continent.
Europes major stock markets
plunged. In the U.S., the Dow Jones
industrial average lost 102.09 points to
close at 12,927.17. The Dow had
dropped as many as 183 points in morn-
ing trading then spent the rest of the day
climbing back.
The main concern today is the stabil-
ity of the euro zone as a whole, said
Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at
the brokerage BTIG.
Figures reported by the European
Unions statistics ofce conrmed the
effects of budget-cutting programs on
countries that use the euro currency.
Even with widespread spending cuts,
overall debt rose to 87.2 percent, the
highest level since the euro was created.
Separately, a survey of the euro zones
manufacturing and services sectors
unexpectedly fell in April.
In France, Sarkozy came in second
behind Francois Hollande, a harsh critic
of the spending cuts prescribed as a way
to end the regions debt crisis. Sarkozy
and Germanys Chancellor Angela
Merkel have been the main architects of
Europes efforts to avoid a collapse of
the regions shared currency.
To the extent that Europe has any
leaders, its very much Merkel and
Sarkozy, Greenhaus said. If Sarkozy
were to lose, youd change the leader-
ship of Europe at arguably the worst pos-
sible time.
The Dutch government resigned
Monday after it couldnt reach agree-
ment with an opposition party to bring
its budget decit within European Union
rules. The budget dispute raised the
prospect that the Netherlands could lose
its top AAA credit rating.
The turmoil roiled Europes largest
markets. Germanys major stock index,
the DAX, lost 3.4 percent, its worst day
in six weeks. Frances CAC-40 index
dropped 2.8 percent, wiping away all its
gains for the year.

Big movers

SAN FRANCISCO Netflixs
comeback from a customer backlash
accelerated during the rst quarter, but
the recovery wasnt impressive enough
to ease more pressing concerns about the
Internet video subscription services
ability to cope with tougher competition.
Wall Streets worries about the chal-
lenges facing Netix Inc. crystallized
Monday with the release of the compa-
nys rst-quarter results and forecast for
the upcoming months.
The company, which is based in Los
Gatos, Calif., posted its rst quarterly
loss in seven years during the three
months ending in March. The setback,
though, was far smaller than analysts
anticipated.
Instead of celebrating several positives
contained in the report, skittish investors
keyed on a second-quarter forecast that
calls for a slowdown in subscriber
growth during the spring and early sum-
mer. The April-to-June period has histor-
ically been a sluggish period for Netix
because more daylight and warmer
weather tends to discourage people from
staying inside to watch movies and old
TV shows.
Thats the main reason Netix cited
for its prediction that its service for
Internet video streaming might add as
few as 200,000 U.S. subscribers in the
second quarter after gaining 1.7 million
customers in the rst three months of the
year.
At most, Netix is hoping to add
800,000 video streaming subscribers in
the U.S during the second quarter. That
would still be less than the 1.8 million
streaming customers that Netix picked
up in last years second quarter. Its also
less than the increase of 1 million sub-
scribers registered in the second quarter
of 2010.
Investors instead seemed to interpret
the projection for this years second
quarter as a sign that Netix will have a
more difcult time attracting new sub-
scribers as more alternatives emerge for
Internet video streaming, including serv-
ices from bigger companies, said
Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler.
Amazon.com Inc., Wal-Mart Stores
Inc.s Vudu and Comcast Corp all offer
video streaming options. Verizon
Communications Inc. is preparing to
launch a service in a joint venture with
Coinstar Inc., the owner of Redbox
kiosks that rent DVDs in thousands of
stores across the U.S.
I dont think anyone is ready to give
Netix the benet of the doubt at this
point, Kessler said.
Netix shares plunged $16.49, or 16
percent, to $85.45 in Mondays extended
trading.
In a conference call, Netix CEO
Reed Hastings urged investors to focus
on the bigger picture. He predicted the
company will add about 7 million
streaming subscribers in the U.S. for all
of 2012. That would be about the same
number that Netix attracted in 2010
the companys biggest growth year so
far.
The business is performing exactly as
we had hoped, Hastings said.
Netflixs 1Q tops forecasts
By Barbara Ortutay
NEW YORK Facebooks first-
quarter net income fell 12 percent,
weighed down by higher expenses even
as its revenue soared, the social net-
working company said Monday, just a
few weeks ahead of its expected initial
public offering in May.
Facebook Inc. said in a regulatory ling
that its net income fell to $205 million in
the three months that ended March 31,
from $233 million a year earlier.
Net income attributable to common
shareholders fell to $137 million from
$153 million. That amounts to earnings
of 9 cents per share in the latest quarter,
down from 11 cents a year earlier.
The company said its revenue rose 45
percent to $1.06 billion.
Facebook said it had 901 million
monthly active users as of March 31, up
from 845 million as of the end of 2011.
The number of people using its mobile
applications each month grew to 488
million as of the end of the quarter from
432 million as of the end of last year.
Users in Brazil, India and the U.S.
were important sources of growth both
on Facebooks website and on mobile
devices.
Facebook also gave details on its
pending $1 billion acquisition of
Instagram, the company behind a popu-
lar mobile photo-sharing application
with the same name. Facebook said it is
paying $300 million in cash and about
23 million shares for Instagram. It also
agreed to pay Instagram a $200 million
termination fee if the deal doesnt go
through.
Facebook conrmed it has applied to
list its stock on the Nasdaq under the
ticker symbol FB.
Intel launches first
chips of new generation
NEW YORK Intel Corp. said
Monday that PCs with chips from its
new generation of processors, featuring
a revolutionary design, will be available
this week.
The new generation, code-named Ivy
Bridge, is the rst to be made with a 3-
D structure. Miniature ns jut out of the
plane of the chip, letting Intel cram more
features into the same space. That means
the chips can be faster while consuming
less power.
Analysts have called it one of the most
signicant developments in silicon tran-
sistor design since the integrated circuit
was invented in the 1950s. In terms of
manufacturing technology, it puts Intel
two to three years ahead of the competi-
tion, said Romit Shah at Nomura
Securities.
The rst chips off the production line
are destined for powerful desktop com-
puters. Intel hopes to have them in lap-
top computers in time for the back to
school shopping season. CEO Paul
Otellini said he expects Ivy Bridge to
account for 50 percent of Intel processor
shipments by the fall.

Carlmont tennis wins PAL tourney
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Peninsula Athletic Leagues boys ten-
nis tournament belonged to the guys from
Carlmont High School.
After disposing of Hillsdale last Friday in
the seminals, the Scots completed their run
through the PAL tournament Monday by
handing the No. 2 seeded Dons a 6-1 loss.
Basically, we had our full team today, said
Carlmont assistant coach Art Soriano, so we
expected to win because the rst time we
played them we also won ... we had a good
margin. The second time when we played
them, when we lost, we were missing three of
our top 10 players and we almost pulled that
one off. So, we were condent coming into
todays match.
The Scots denitely played like a condent
group players, storming out to a 3-0 lead
before clinching with their No. 2 doubles
team of Jack Hendershott and Ryan Yen.
It was even more exciting that it was a
tiebreaker, Hendershott said of his teams
clinching win. But, it was nice, we had some
ups and downs in the beginning of the games
... so, just basically being able to pull it out
and stay with it and not getting too mad at
ourselves.
Carlmont was a team of cool customers on
Monday. The coolest of which was No. 1 sin-
gles player Corey Pang. The junior made
quick work of Rahul Joshi, beating him 6-0,
6-0 in about 45 minutes to give the Scots a 1-
0 lead.
Not too long after that, Carlmonts No. 1
doubles team of Ben Knoot and Bryon Wu
stepped off of Court 4 with a 6-4, 6-1 win.
Obviously, were lucky to have the best
singles player in the league on our team as
well as one of the best doubles teams,
Soriano said, so that kind of gives us the
cushion and puts the pressure off of the other
guys who have much closer matches so they
can focus on their game and their match.
They have a lot of talent, said Aragon

New draft strategy
for Oakland Raiders
By Josh Debow
ALAMEDA For nearly a half-century, Al
Davis ran the Oakland Raiders draft room in
his own unique way. He coveted speed and
size, seemingly ahead of almost all other
attributes.
His picks often bafed so-called experts and
other teams, with some turning into surprising
successes and others into notable ops.
Now theres a new man in charge in
Oakland. General manager Reggie McKenzie
began overhauling the organization after being
hired in January and now is preparing for the
teams rst draft since Davis died last October.
This will be the rst Raiders draft that Davis
has not run since 1962.
Its an exciting time, McKenzie said.
Coach Davis, this has been his deal since the
Raiders were the Raiders. So, I am the new
guy. This is my rst time drafting after a leg-
end has been drafting for the Raiders for so
long. So, its huge. But I am excited about it
and I am looking forward to it. There are still
so many people in the organization, so I get to
hear everything about how he used to do it.

NEW YORK Madison Bumgarner
pitched seven neat innings, Pablo Sandoval
homered to match a team mark set by Willie
Mays and the San Francisco Giants beat the
New York Mets 7-2 Monday night for a dou-
bleheader sweep.
The Giants took the opener 6-1 as Tim
Lincecum posted his rst win of the season
despite another uneven
performance.
Slightly over 1,000 fans
bundled up in the stands
when the opener began on
a windy, raw afternoon
better suited for the Bay
Area. The crowd later
picked up, but Citi Field
was nearly empty for the
final out. A rainout
Sunday forced the twin-
bill.
Sandoval hit a three-run homer in the rst
inning to back Bumgarner. The burly slugger
has a 16-game hitting streak, tying the San
Francisco record at the start of a season set by
Mays in 1960, STATS LLC said.
Hector Sanchez later hit his rst big league
homer, a two-run shot.
Bumgarner (3-1) allowed one run and three
hits. He won his third straight start, a streak
that began shortly before the 22-year-old lefty
signed a $35.56 million, six-year contract.
New York loaded the bases with one out in
the eighth against Javier Lopez. But reliever
Clay Hensley retired pinch-hitter Jordany
Valdespin on a popup on the rst pitch he
saw as a major leaguer and struck out
pinch-hitter Ike Davis looking.
Frustrated, Davis ung his bat and later
threw his helmet. He made a key error in the
rst game and went 0 for 4, striking out twice,
grounding into a double play and bouncing out
with the bases loaded.
San Francisco won for the eighth time in 11
games and swept a doubleheader from the
Mets for the rst time since 1997. Then again,
teams dont play many doubleheaders any-
more.
The Mets have lost ve of six and dropped
to .500 for the rst time this year.
Dillon Gee (1-2) gave up seven runs and a
career-high 12 hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Both games were similar: Sandoval put San
Francisco ahead for good in the rst inning,
the Giants supported their starter with two
home runs, and they got plenty of pitching.
Nate Schierholtz and Buster Posey homered
in the opener. Schierholtz had six hits during
the day, including two triples, and stole a base.

McKenzie will likely have to wait a while to
make his rst pick, which wont be until the
nal selection on Day 2 with the 95th overall
pick at the end of the third round the rst
of the teams three compensatory picks.
The Raiders traded their rst-round pick
last October for quarterback Carson Palmer, a
second-rounder during last years draft for
backup running back Taiwan Jones and offen-
sive lineman Joe Barksdale, and spent a third-
rounder to take quarterback project Terrelle
Pryor in the supplemental draft.
Oakland also dealt a fourth-rounder to
Washington in 2010 for former starting quar-
terback Jason Campbell and a seventh-round-
er last year for starting outside linebacker
Aaron Curry.
That leaves McKenzie with compensatory
picks at the end of the third, fourth and fth
rounds and Oaklands original picks in the
fth and sixth. With McKenzie unable to trade
compensatory picks and unwilling to give up
future high picks, it seems unlikely the
Raiders will be able to pick before 95th.
We need some depth to compete and hope-
fully win jobs, he said. Thats what were
targeting. When we say best player, whether
its D-line, linebacker, O-line, tight end ... it
doesnt matter. We want to get a good player.
Weve got ve picks. We need to make them
all count.
Davis drafting acumen helped build cham-
pionship teams in the 1970s and 80s. He got
Super Bowl-winning quarterback Ken Stabler
and Hall of Fame offensive lineman Art Shell
in the second and third rounds in 1968; big-
play receiver Cliff Branch in the fourth round
in 1972; Hall of Fame tight end Dave Casper
in the second round in 1974; star cornerback
Lester Hayes in the fth round in 1977 and
Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long in
the second round in 1981.
But there were more misses than hits in
recent years, contributing to a run of nine
straight seasons without a winning record or
playoff berth.
Of the 12 rst-round picks since 2001,
including six players in the top 10, Nnamdi
Asomugha is the only one to make a Pro
Bowl. More notable were busts like quarter-
back JaMarcus Russell in 2007 or taking
offensive lineman Robert Gallery over Larry
Fitzgerald in 2004.
There was also the constant obsession with
speed, most notably when Davis drafted
Darrius Heyward-Bey seventh overall in
2009, ahead of far more accomplished
receivers. Heyward-Bey had a breakthrough
season last year but still has fewer receptions,
yards and touchdowns than the ve receivers
taken after him in the rst round that year.
The infatuation with speed got to the point
that as soon as a player clocked in at under 4.4
seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL com-
bine, jokes immediately started that the
Raiders will draft him no matter what hes
done on the football eld.
Last years Raiders roster featured the
fastest players at the last three combines and
ve other players clocked at 4.36 seconds or
better in the 40 at the combine or their pro
days.
Speed is always going to be important,
McKenzie said. But if youre insinuating that
speed only? No, were not looking for just
guys that run fast. Of course we love size, and
were going to emphasize size. But were
going to make sure theyre good football play-
ers. Make sure theyre tough, they understand
the game.
It truly is a new era.

Walker, USOCs first
black chairman, dies
DURHAM, N.C. LeRoy Walker, the
first African-American to lead the U.S.
Olympic Committee and the rst black man to
coach an American Olympic team died
Monday. He was 93.
Walkers death was confirmed by
Scarborough & Hargett Funeral home, but no
cause of death was given.
The grandson of slaves raised in the segre-
gated South before he moved to Harlem,
Walker led the U.S. Olympic Committee from
1992 to 1996, both shepherding the summer
games played in Atlanta and leading the group
when the 2002 Winter Olympics were award-
ed to Salt Lake City.
The Atlanta games were widely panned
across the globe, and Walker warned his fel-
low countrymen the U.S. was not likely to
host another games for a long time after Salt
Lake City. He repeated his warnings after a
bribery scandal threatened to derail the 2002
winter games, and so far, his prediction has
been true.
But Walker still loved the Olympics, espe-
cially track and eld. He coached Olympic
teams from Ethiopia, Israel, Jamaica, Kenya
and Trinidad & Tobago before his home coun-
try gave him a chance to be the rst black head
coach of a U.S. Olympic team when he led the
track squad to Montreal in 1976.
That team brought home 22 medals, includ-
ing gold in the long jump, discus, decathlon,
400-meter hurdles and both mens relays.
Current U.S. Olympic Committee Chairman
Scott Blackmun said Walkers impact on the
U.S. Olympic movement and track and eld
will be felt for generations to come.
We join the entire Olympic family in
remembering and appreciating the vast contri-
butions he made to the worldwide Olympic
Movement throughout his 93 years of life,
Blackmun said. He devoted himself to the
betterment of sport and we were fortunate to
have called him our president.
Walker love for track came accidentally.
After earning 11 letters in football, basketball
and track and eld from Benedict College.

ADMISSION
head coach Dave Owdom. They have the No.
1 player in the league so we knew we would
have a tough time and their number one dou-
bles is pretty special too. Other than that, we
had some pretty close matches.
Close matches they were, indeed. But with
Pang and Knoot/Vu picking up wins,
Carlmont had all the momentum they needed.
They leaned further on Aragon when Matt
Soriano scored a 6-2, 6-4 win over Kevin
Nguyen.
The Dons pulled one back in No. 3 doubles
with Quentin Buellon and Alex Ilyin picking
up a 6-4, 6-3 victory.
But Hendershott and Yen sealed the deal for
Carlmont not too long after that.
Consistency is what we lacked the most
all season, Yen said. I think today we
pumped it up a little bit.
Even though they were up [at certain
points in the match], I could tell, at least in the
second, set because they were down a set, that
they had the nerves, so basically just spinning
it and getting the ball to the back line they
would hit into the net so that was our game
plan, Hendershott said. Its good to carry
this into the next round.
The rest of the outcomes were pretty much
academic.
Pete Eakin picked up a win in No. 3 singles
over Aragons hero from last Fridays semi-
nal against Burlingame, Isaac Wang.
And in the match of the day, Matt Sidell
won his three set affair with Devon Hughes in
super tiebreaker fashion.
It came down to, basically, I gured ve
matches and we only took one of those ve,
Owdom said. But like I said, the guys played
good. Theyre overachievers, a lot of young
guys on the team and they still have a shot at
the at-large bid. And the best part about them,
theyre very good sports.

water polo and basketball teams, and it could
be argued CSM has one of the premiere
community college programs in not only the
state but perhaps the nation.
Wolf realizes he is just one piece of the
puzzle, however. From tremendous coaching
staffs, to campus and district administrations
that understand the value of athletics, to the
academic support the school offers its ath-
letes, Wolf and the CSM athletics program
have achieved this success with everyone
pulling on the same rope in the same direc-
tion.
While athletic success is great, Wolf is
equally proud of the performance in the
classroom. Wolf said 78 percent of CSM stu-
dent-athletes transfer to four-year schools.
The transfer rate for non-athletes? Fifteen
percent.
We continue to document how well the
kids are doing in the classroom. It just re-
emphasizes they are students rst and ath-
letes second, Wolf said. The coaches like
to keep their bars high on both components.
They mandate that students are successful in
the classroom and they mandate they are suc-
cessful on the eld.
They (the student-athletes) have their eyes
on the prize and thats to transfer. Theyre on
the clock. They have to stay in the classroom
and they have to keep their noses in the
books. Thats the beauty of athletics at this
level: they are focused on transferring.
Lets be honest, however. Fans dont care
what a players grade point average is when
he or she is leading their team to victory. The
fact they are successful in both arenas means
they are people in demand.
In football, for example, CSM has trans-
ferred players to USC (Jeremy Galten),
University of Oregon (Rahsaan Vaughn) and
most recently, LSU (Hoko Fanaika). Thats
three of the biggest and most successful pro-
grams in the country.
And its not by mistake.
[Big-time, four-year coaches are] starting
to seek our kids out, Wolf said. Theres a
reason for that. Because our kids are pre-
pared both athletically and academically,
[four-year coaches] are looking for our kids.
Its not a gamble to recruit our kids.
With the baseball and softball teams
clinching titles, both will be in the Northern
California playoffs. The baseball squad is
ranked No. 2 in Northern California, while
softball is No. 5 in the state. Playoffs are not
foreign to either team, but winning confer-
ence championships means both squads will
be hosting regional playoffs which Wolf
believes may be a rst for the school. Throw
in the fact the aquatic center hosted the con-
ference championships last weekend, and
track and eld will be the host site for the
Northern California championships, it all
equals for a busy time for the CSM athletic
facilities.
The rst round of the baseball and softball
playoffs begin May 5 and 6, while the track
and eld trials begin the day before. If both
baseball and softball advance, they would be
hosting the super regionals as well the fol-
lowing weekend, with a spot in the state nal
four on the line. The track and eld nals
would also be going that weekend.
Weve been very fortunate to host these
kinds of things, Wolf said. We have the
capabilities to host and we want to host.
While the spotlight will be shining on the
various CSM programs and its facilities,
Wolf knows its only possible because of the
hard work of the various coaching staffs.
Its not like I have to force motivation.
Theyre the most driven group Ive been
around, Wolf said. But its not an ego
thing. They deserve the moment in the sun,
to enjoy the success theyve had, but they
just keep looking forward.

LOUNGE
WASHINGTON The complexity of the
Roger Clemens perjury retrial showed itself in
many ways Monday before a jury that
knows little about baseball.
The prosecutors hour-long opening state-
ment was a rambling hodgepodge of dates and
anecdotes that attempted to portray the seven-
time Cy Young Award winner as a man who
told lies and other lies to cover up lies. A rul-
ing was issued about
Clemens former team-
mate Andy Pettitte: He can
testify about taking human
growth hormone, but cant
say where he got it from.
In between, there were
numerous motions as
attorneys for both sides
fussed over which words
and facts can be used and
which ones cant. Finally,
as the clock passed 5 p.m., an impatient U.S.
District Judge Reggie Walton admonished both
sides for making their cases too complicated
for a jury to understand.
Keep it simple. ... Boom! Move on, said
Walton, who then declared the slow-moving
trial adjourned for the day as he abruptly left
the bench. The opening defense statement was
put off until Tuesday.
On the fth day of the trial, the court nally
seated 12 jurors and four alternates. The 10
women and six men mostly said they didnt
follow baseball or know much about Clemens.
In fact, seven said theyd never heard of him.
Their rst task was to try to digest prosecu-
tor Steven Durhams description of Clemens
10-year relationship with strength trainer Brian
McNamee, which Durham said became a
story of deceit and dishonesty and betrayal
because Clemens wouldnt acknowledge using
steroids and human growth hormone.
The end will show that he made his choice,
Durham said, and he was going to lie.
Clemens is accused of lying when he
said he never used steroids or HGH during his
24-season career at a 2008 congressional
hearing and at a deposition that preceded it.
Last years mistrial was called after the gov-
ernment showed the jury a portion of video-
taped evidence that had been ruled inadmissi-
ble. The costly process of bringing the case
back to court has drawn criticism from those
who regard it as a waste of government money
a point raised last week by some prospec-
tive jurors.
The case largely will hinge on the believ-
ability of the two principal gures in the case
Clemens and McNamee. McNamee says
he injected Clemens with steroids and human
growth hormone; Clemens said he never used
either.
The governments case suffered a blow
when Walton made the ruling about Pettitte.
Pettitte is expected to say that he used HGH
and that he had conversations with Clemens
about HGH, but the judge ruled that Pettitte
cant identify McNamee as a supplier because
the jury might try to connect the dots and con-
clude that McNamee must have also supplied
Clemens a case of classic guilt by associ-
ation, one of Clemens lawyers said.
Wearing a pinstriped suit, white shirt and
silver-striped tie, Clemens took notes through-
out the day.
His wife, Debbie, made her rst appearance
at the trial, sitting among the spectators and
getting a hug from her husband during anoth-
er delay the court waited 50 minutes for a
late potential juror to show up.
Debbie Clemens remained in the courtroom
for the conclusion of jury selection, but the
judge ordered her along with any other
potential witnesses to leave during opening
statements.
Roger Clemens lawyer objected, saying
earlier word from the judge would have saved
her a lot of time and travel, but Debbie
Clemens was also excluded from opening
statements at last years rst trial, because she
was to be a witness later for her husband.
Walton did not resolve the lawyers spat

(1-2) allowed one run in ve innings and struck out eight, often
throwing his fastball past the Mets. The two-time Cy Young
Award winner also walked ve and gave up four hits in lowering
his ERA from 10.54 to 8.20.
Lincecum got help on his 108th and nal pitch. With the bases
loaded, one out and the Giants ahead by ve runs, Davis hit a
grounder up the middle. Second baseman Emmanuel Burris
stopped the ball and made a backhanded ip with his glove to
shortstop Brandon Crawford, who barehanded the toss and
turned a terric double play.
Miguel Batista (0-1) lasted 3 2-3 innings in a spot start. The
41-year-old righty began the game by pitching out of the stretch
ttingly, the Giants had runners on base against him all day.
Sandoval hit an RBI single in the rst, but was thrown out try-
ing to stretch it into a double. Posey followed with his home run.
Schierholtz hit a three-run homer in the third, set up by Davis
error at rst base with two outs and none on.
NOTES: Marlins SS Jose Reyes makes his return to Citi Field
on Tuesday night when Miami visits the Mets. He was a dynam-
ic, exciting player for us. I think he deserves a warm reception
from our fans, Mets GM Sandy Alderson said. I hope he gets a
good reception. ... Johan Santana (0-2, 3.97 ERA), pushed back

Andrew Luck solves a lot of Indys issues
INDIANAPOLIS Now that the
Indianapolis Colts have decided who their
new quarterback will be, they can start lling
in other holes.
Like tight end, receiver
and offensive line. Or
defensive tackle, line-
backer and cornerback.
For the Colts, a success-
ful draft this week goes
far deeper than taking
Stanfords Andrew Luck
at No. 1. Its about giving
him a stronger supporting
cast to start the next era of
Colts football.
First-time general manager Ryan Grigson
cant wait.
I kind of wish it was today, Grigson said
with a smile during his pre-draft availability
last week. Every day I wake up thinking
about the draft. This is fun. What a great
opportunity and great job. To help build a
team is a dream.
Grigson will certainly get his chance and
with 10 picks this weekend, it may be his most
important draft.
The question about who to take rst -- Luck
or Robert Grifn III -- has already been set-
tled. Luck has been told that he will be Peyton
Mannings successor barring something
unforeseen or unusual.
Luck must replace the only four-time MVP
in league history and someone who has been
the face of the franchise for almost a decade
and a half. Manning was regarded so promi-
nently in the community that a local childrens
hospital was named in his honor and 4,000
season tickets are now available from a team
that had a waiting list before he left.
The draft will demonstrate just how much
will be different in Indy in 2012.
Former Baltimore defensive coordinator
Chuck Pagano is the Colts new coach, and he
prefers using a 3-4 defensive alignment rather
than the Colts traditional 4-3. To make the
switch, Indy is trying to get bigger up front.
Theyve signed three free agents from
Baltimore -- 298-pound defensive end Cory
Redding, 345-pound defensive tackle
Brandon McKinney and hard-hitting safety
Tom Zbikowski.
They could go after another behemoth
defensive tackle in the draft.
And then there are the glaring deciencies
in the pass defense. Colts opponents complet-
ed a league-record 71.2 percent of their pass-
es and had a quarterback rating of 103.1.
Indys eight interceptions were tied for the
league low.
Still, the overall priority may be taking care
of Luck.
Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie are the two
most experienced receivers. Indy also has
signed free agent Donnie Avery, who is trying
to work his way back from a season-ending
ACL injury in 2010. The Colts cut Dallas
Clark and lost Jacob Tamme, their two most
productive tight ends.
The ideal situation may be pairing Luck
with his former college teammate Coby
Fleener, the top tight end in the draft. But after
running a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at
Stanfords pro day, its doubtful Fleener will
be available for the Colts second pick, No. 34
overall.
What will the Colts do with 10 picks next
weekend?
Take the best player available, of course.
You never want to pass on a really good
football player, Grigson said. You usually
know the guys you like pretty quickly. You
want guys who know how to play the game
rst and foremost.
Where else could the Colts look? Offensive
line.
While rookie left tackle Anthony Castonzo
was solid in 2011, second-round pick Ben
Ijalana was lost to a season-ending knee
injury in early October, longtime center Jeff
Saturday left for Green Bay in free agency
and the Colts have spent the past several years
looking for help at guard.
There are some good quality offensive
linemen in this draft, Grigson said when
asked what position had the greatest depth this
year. The underclassmen that declared
helped that crop quite a bit. Id say offensive
line is pretty solid.
Grigson knows the position well. He played
on the offensive line at Purdue and for two
years in the NFL.

Space is limited. Hurry!

WASHINGTON Social
Security is rushing even faster
toward insolvency, driven by retir-
ing baby boomers, a weak econo-
my and politicians reluctance to
take painful action to fix the huge
retirement and disability program.
The trust funds that support
Social Security will run dry in
2033 three years earlier than
previously projected the gov-
ernment said Monday.
There was no change in the year
that Medicares hospital insurance
fund is projected to run out of
money. Its still 2024. The pro-
grams trustees, however, said the
pace of Medicare spending contin-
ues to accelerate. Congress enact-
ed a 2 percent cut for Medicare last
year, and that is the main reason
the trust fund exhaustion date did
not advance.
The trustees who oversee both
programs say high energy prices
are suppressing workers wages, a
trend they see continuing. They
also expect people to work fewer
hours than previously projected,
even after the economy recovers.
Both trends would lead to lower
payroll tax receipts, which support
both programs.
Unless Congress acts and
forcefully payments to millions
of Americans could be cut.
If the Social Security and
Medicare funds ever become
exhausted, the nations two biggest
benefit programs would collect
only enough money in payroll
taxes to pay partial benefits. Social
Security could cover about 75 per-
cent of benefits, the trustees said in
their annual report. Medicares
giant hospital fund could pay 87
percent of costs.
Lawmakers should not delay
addressing the long-run financial
challenges facing Social Security
and Medicare, the trustees wrote.
If they take action sooner rather
than later, more options and more
time will be available to phase in
changes so that the public has ade-
quate time to prepare.
The trustees project that Social
Security benefits will increase next
year, though the increase could be
small. They project a cost-of-liv-
ing-adjustment, or COLA, of 1.8
percent for 2013; the actual
amount wont be known until
October.
Beneficiaries got a 3.6 percent
increase this year, the first after
two years without one.
More than 56 million retirees,
disabled workers, spouses and
children receive Social Security.
The average retirement benefit is
$1,232 a month; the average
monthly benefit for disabled work-
ers is $1,111.
Social Security heading for insolvency
By Hope Yen
WASHINGTON The number
of Mexican immigrants living ille-
gally in the U.S. has dropped signif-
icantly for the rst time in decades,
a dramatic shift as many illegal
workers, already in the U.S. and
seeing few job opportunities, return
to Mexico.
An analysis of census data from
the U.S. and Mexican governments
details the movement to and from
Mexico, a nation accounting for
nearly 60 percent of the illegal
immigrants in the U.S. It comes
amid renewed debate over U.S.
immigration policy as the Supreme
Court hears arguments this week on
Arizonas tough immigration law.
Roughly 6.1 million unauthorized
Mexican immigrants were living in
the U.S. last year, down from a peak
of nearly 7 million in 2007, accord-
ing to the Pew Hispanic Center
study released Monday. It was the
biggest sustained drop in modern
history, believed to be surpassed in
scale only by losses in the Mexican-
born U.S. population during the
Great Depression.
Much of the drop in illegal immi-
grants is due to the persistently
weak U.S. economy, which has
shrunk construction and service-
sector jobs attractive to Mexican
workers following the housing bust.
But increased deportations, height-
ened U.S. patrols and violence
along the border also have played a
role, as well as demographic
changes, such as Mexicos declin-
ing birth rate.
In all, the Mexican-born popula-
tion in the U.S. last year legal
and illegal fell to 12 million,
marking an end to an immigration
boom dating back to the 1970s,
when foreign-born residents from
Mexico stood at 760,000. The 2007
peak was 12.6 million.

Ex-Edwards aide takes
stand against former boss
GREENSBORO, N.C. Andrew
Young was once much more than an
aide to John Edwards.
The linchpin of the governments
criminal case against the ex-presi-
dential candidate spent long hours
driving to and from political events
with the rising Democratic star.
They attended college basketball
games together to root for the Tar
Heels and buddied around at
Edwards beach house. Young was
even tasked with buying Christmas
presents for the Edwards children.
We were just North Carolina
boys and had a lot in common,
Young testied Monday.
Twelfth military member
tied to prostitution scandal
WASHINGTON The Secret
Service prostitution scandal grew
Monday to include a 12th member
of the U.S. military as the Pentagon
suspended the security clearances of
all the military personnel who have
been implicated. The Secret Service
has also taken action against 12 of
its employees.
Three Defense Department of-
cials said the 12th military person
involved was in Colombia in
advance of President Barack
Obamas arrival for the Summit of
the Americas and was assigned to
the White House Communications
Agency, a military unit that provides
secure communications for the pres-
ident.

Report from Social Security, Medicare trustees
HEALTH 17
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO What do hospitals charge to
remove an appendix? The startling answer is
that it could be the same as the price of a
refrigerator or a house.
Its a common, straightforward operation,
so you might expect charges to be similar no
matter where the surgery takes place. Yet a
California study found huge disparities in
patients bills $1,500 to $180,000, with an
average of $33,000.
The researchers and other experts say the
results arent unique to California and illus-
trate a broken system.
Theres no method to the madness, said
lead author Dr. Renee Hsia, an emergency
room physician and researcher at the
University of California, San Francisco.
Theres no system at all to determine what is
a rational price for this condition or this pro-
cedure.
The disparities are partly explained by dif-
ferences among patients and where they were
treated. For example, some had more costly
procedures, including multiple imaging scans,
or longer hospital stays. A very small number
were treated without surgery, though most
had appendectomies. Some were sicker and
needed more intensive care.
But the researchers could nd no explana-
tion for about one-third of the cost differ-
ences.
Other developed countries have more gov-
ernment regulation that prevents these wild
disparities. U.S. critics of that kind of system
favor more market competition, yet the study
illustrates that the laws of supply and
demand simply do not work well in health
care, said Dr. Howard Brody, director of the
Institute for the Medical Humanities at the
University of Texas Medical Branch in
Galveston and a frequent critic of skyrocket-
ing medical costs.
The study was published Monday in the
journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
President Barack Obamas health care over-
haul, now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme
Court, would have little effect on the kinds of
disparities seen in the study, policy experts
say.
One section of the law bars tax-exempt hos-
pitals from charging uninsured people more
than the rates insured patients end up paying
because of discounts negotiated by insurance
companies. The government has not said how
the reductions for uninsured people would be
calculated, said health care consultant Keith
Hearle.
The researchers examined 2009 data that
hospitals were required to submit to the state
on 19,368 patients with appendicitis. To get
the fairest comparisons, the researchers
included only uncomplicated cases with hos-
pital stays of less than four days. Patients
were 18 to 59 years old.
The study looked at what patients were
billed, before contributions from their health
insurance if they had any. The gures dont
reect what hospitals were actually paid.
Insurance companies often negotiate to pay
less than what they are billed, and what
patients pay depends on their health plans.
Those least able to pay the uninsured
could be socked with the full bill.
Still, even those with good health insurance
may end up paying a portion of the cost, so
price matters, Hsia said.
Uninsured and Medicaid patients had
slightly higher bills than those with private
insurance. Charges were highest at for-prot
hospitals, followed by nonprofits. County
hospitals, typically safety-net hospitals, had
the lowest charges.
The costliest bill, totaling $182,955,
involved a woman who also had cancer. She
was treated at a hospital in Californias
Silicon Valley. Her bill didnt show any can-
cer-related treatment. The smallest bill,
$1,529, involved a patient who had her appen-
dix removed in rural Northern California.
Otherwise, the cases were similar: Both
patients were hospitalized for one day, had
minimally invasive surgery, and had similar
numbers of procedures and tests on their bills.
The lowest and highest bills were not freak
occurrences; many cases involved charges
well over $100,000 and under $2,000, Hsia
said. Also, within geographic regions, the
lowest and highest charges differed by tens of
thousands of dollars.
Appendix removal: Huge sticker shock in study
A study found huge disparities in patientsbills to remove an appendix $1,500 to $180,000,
with an average of $33,000.

to the defense launching its case.
Were very pleased. The court gave us a
very practical and workable way to proceed,
said San Mateo County prosecutor Al
Giannini who is trying the criminal case.
An appellate court previously ruled in favor
of the prosecution but Maldonados defense
attorney Paul DeMeester asked the California
Supreme Court to take up the legal wrinkle.
Oral arguments were given in February. The
ruling wont be nal for 90 days, barring any
further stays or appeals by the defense to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
DeMeester called the decision a blow to the
Fifth Amendment protection against self-
incrimination because the prosecution could
theoretically use the gleaned information dur-
ing its primary case.
I am disappointed, of course, and think this
erodes the system, DeMeester said.
The case against Maldonado and co-defen-
dant Erick Romeo Morales has essentially
been on hold while the courts worked through
whether Maldonado should be mentally evalu-
ated and if the ndings should be disclosed to
the prosecution. The defense had argued the
information was privileged unless Maldonado
rst presented his own mental health evi-
dence. The prosecution, and then the state
Attorney Generals Ofce on its behalf, coun-
tered that access to the information prior to the
defense case isnt an unfair advantage or a
violation of Maldonados rights.
The appellate court found in May 2010 the
examinations could go forward with the
caveat DeMeester could challenge the disclo-
sure on a line-by-line basis. The California
Supreme Court called the elaborate protec-
tions unnecessary, impractical and unfair to
the prosecution and would produce needless
delay in the trial proceedings.
Maldonado was already in the midst of pre-
trial motions the previous fall when the
defense raised the psychiatric question and his
alleged co-defendant in the 2001 murder of
Quetzlcoatl Alba, 15, was found on Long
Island.
Alba was an acquaintance of Maldonado
and Morales whose fatally stabbed body was
stashed in a storage area of the Westlake
Apartments in Daly City. Maldonado and
Morales were eyed as suspects but ed before
either were arrested. In 2007, a year after Daly
City police reopened the case, Maldonado was
identied by a friend who said he confessed to
the killing and had a trophy photograph of
Morales standing over the body. Authorities
extradited Maldonado from Florida and two
years later was being tried when Morales was
apprehended.
On Oct. 12, 2009, New York state troopers
pulled a car over on suspicion of driving while
under the inuence. The driver gave a false
name but was later identied through nger-
prints as Morales. He was extradited back to
San Mateo County the following Monday.
Prosecutors believe Maldonado actually
wielded the knife while Morales held Alba
down. Both, however, have offered differing
stories of the death.
While Morales apprehension and the psy-
chiatric question has stalled the trial for years,
the District Attorneys Ofce opted against
seeking the death penalty. If convicted, each
faces life in prison without the possibility of
parole.
DeMeester said the ruling doesnt change
much his approach to the defense of
Maldonado which may include mental state
evidence such as a childhood fall leading to
chronic headaches, a mildly retarded IQ and
the suggestion of brain injury or dysfunction.
Both Maldonado and Morales remain in
custody on no-bail status.
COURT
Itemized bills for appendix removal can
include fees for staying overnight in the hos-
pital, the surgery and surgical supplies, oper-
ating room expenses, anesthesia, imaging
tests, medicine and lab tests.
The analysis echoes other reports, including
a study of 66 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada
that found charges for the same services var-
ied widely in both countries. Other studies
have found big geographic disparities in
health care costs.
Data from the federal Agency of Healthcare
Research and Quality and the International
Federation of Health Plans suggest the nation-
wide average price for an appendectomy is
almost $28,000.
Dr. David Goodman, director of Dartmouth
Colleges Center for Health Policy Research,
said the differences found in the study are
credible and very concerning.

MONTPELIER, Vt. For Jennifer Stella,
its a question of informed consent. Her son
had a seizure after getting childhood vaccina-
tions and her daughter suffered a head-to-
toe eczema outbreak; she says parents should
research the risks and benets of immuniza-
tions and decide which ones are appropriate.
For Jill Olson, a mother of two, its a matter
of trusting the experts. Theres not really any
way that as an individual I can do more scien-
tic study and research than the American
Academy of Pediatrics or the Centers for
Disease Control.
For Vermont House Speaker Shap Smith,
the state motto sums it up: freedom and
unity individual choice versus the public
health benet of having a high percentage of
kids vaccinated.
Its a balance between individual rights and
our obligations to each other in society, the
Democratic speaker said.
For much of the legislative session, Vermont
has been embroiled in a debate over whether
to end the philosophical exemption
essentially a right of refusal for parents who
want to enroll their children in school or child
care without immunizations. The list of
shots called for by the state Health
Department and the CDC is roughly 20
by the time a child enters kinder-
garten.
The CDC and state health
officials say Vermont is
among the states with the
highest exemption rates
for childhood vaccina-
tions. Some say its no
coincidence that
Vermont recently
has seen an outbreak of one of the diseases the
vaccines target: pertussis, or whooping cough.
In 2010-11, the latest school year for which
data is available, an Associated Press analysis
of state health department data showed Alaska
with nearly 9 percent of kindergarten children
exempted. Colorados rate was 7 percent and
Vermont and Washington state each had 6 per-
cent.
As the 2012 legislative session winds down,
lawmakers are at loggerheads: The Senate
voted 26-4 in early March to eliminate the
philosophical exemption; the House voted 93-
36 earlier this month to keep it.
If no agreement is reached, the legislation
will die and Vermont
will remain among
the 20 states that
allow some form of
philosophical exemption
from required childhood
immunizations. All but a
handful of states offer religious
exemptions, and all allow med-
ical exemptions for kids.
Many of Vermonts more vocal
vaccine skeptics are active in alter-
native health and natural food
movements and are critical of what
they see as a profit-driven pharma-
ceutical industry. Stella, a homeopath-
ic health practitioner, works at a clinic
that also offers massage and herbal
medicine.
Critics of the philosophical exemp-
tion say Vermonts immunization rates
have been dropping, a slide that must
be halted to preserve what public health
ofcials call herd immunity. Thats when
most of the population is immunized against a
specic disease to keep outbreaks from occur-
ring.

Metlife, states reaches
settlement near $500M
By Greg Risling
LOS ANGELES MetLife Inc. will pay nearly $500 mil-
lion in a settlement involving more than 30 states that claimed
it didnt provide life insurance benets to some of its policy-
holders, the company said Monday.
The largest life insurer in the United States said it expects to
pay about $188 million of the $478 million this year, and the
remainder over the next 17 years.
State regulators investigated MetLifes use of the Social
Security Administrations Death Master le, a database of
people who have died.
California Controller John Chiang said a joint investigative
hearing held last year revealed MetLife had information about
the deaths of some of its life insurance policyholders but failed
to pay what was owned.
These settlements make it clear that if the industry isnt
willing to make the payments legally required, we will take
action, including lawsuits, to compel them to do right by their
customers, Chiang said.
MetLife maintains it pays more than 99 percent of life insur-
ance claims and it has been working with regulators to ensure
everyone is paid.
The company has been working with regulators to develop
industry best practices and is pleased to announce new
processes that will provide an even stronger safety net for the
limited number of beneciaries who do not submit a claim to
the company in the normal course of business, the company
said in a statement.
MetLife has undertaken a variety of steps to locate policy-
holders who have lost contact with the company, including
implementing a monthly matching process. The company also
has created a website to help customers nd their policies.
Californians share from the agreement, which was reached
last week, is expected to be about $40 million. Its not imme-
diately known how much the other 33 states will receive.
Among those included in the settlement are Florida, Illinois,
North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
Chiang reached similar agreements with insurer John
Hancock and Prudential Insurance last year both totaling more
than $40 million.
Auditors rebuking
Medicare bonuses
By Ricado Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON In a blow to the Obama administration
on Medicare, government auditors Monday called for the can-
cellation of a costly bonus program for private health plans that
congressional Republicans have criticized as a wasteful politi-
cal ploy.
The nonpartisan Government Accountability Ofce said its
not clear that the $8.3 billion Medicare Advantage bonus pro-
gram will improve quality because most of the money is going
to plans just rated average. The auditors did nd, however, that
the bonuses would temporarily ease the pain of unpopular cuts
to insurance plans under President Barack Obamas health care
overhaul law.
Ahead of presidential and congressional elections in which
seniors are a key group of swing voters, the administration has
been working hard to portray itself as a good steward of
Medicare, by cracking down on waste and fraud, improving
benets, and keeping costs under control. The GAO report
could become a blemish on its record.
The administration defended the program, saying without
bonuses many plans would not have an incentive to improve.
But Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said the GAO report suggests
that the administration abused its authority, pumping money to
the plans to avoid more criticism over the cuts.
Medicare Advantage is a popular private insurance alternative
to the traditional health care program. More than 3,000 private
plans serve nearly 12 million beneciaries, about one-fourth of
Medicare recipients. They offer lower out-of-pocket costs, usu-
ally in exchange for some limitations on choice.
The health care law trimmed Medicare Advantage to com-
pensate for prior years of overpayments that had allowed the
plans to offer attractive benets and pocket healthy prots.
Republicans ercely attacked those cuts during their success-
ful campaign to take control of the House in the 2010 midterm
elections. Seniors responded by backing GOP candidates.
After the election, the administration announced what it
called a demonstration program to test whether a generous
bonus program would lead to faster, broader improvements in
quality. (The health care overhaul law had already provided a
smaller bonus program only for top-rated plans.)
GAO, the investigative agency of Congress, did not address
GOP allegations that the bonuses are politically motivated. But,
its report found the program highly unusual. It dwarfs all
other Medicare pilots undertaken in nearly 20 years, the GAO
said.

PARIS President Nicolas Sarkozy
starkly laid out his path to re-election
Monday: He will be plunging deep into
far-right territory to hunt the votes he
needs to beat Socialist challenger
Francois Hollande in the runoff.
A day after Hollande won a slim upper
hand in the rst round of voting, Sarkozy
candidly ogled voters of the far-right
National Front whose candidate, Marine
Le Pen, placed a solid third. She gave the
party its highest-ever score, nearly 18
percent close to one-in-ve voters
and the biggest surprise of Sundays rst
round vote.
Le Pen and her anti-immigration party
want to pull France out of the euro cur-
rency, reinstate border controls, crack
down on immigrants and stamp out what
she claims is the Islamization of France.
The word protectionism isnt a dirty
word, Sarkozy said Monday during a
rousing speech in Saint-Cyr-Sur-Loire,
near Tours, southwest of Paris.
Protecting the French identity, French
civilization, French borders, French
workers, French youth, French retirees
were all on Sarkozys agenda and all
are themes dear to the National Front.
Sarkozy and Hollande, both 57, used
their rst post-election speeches to lure
far-right voters to their respective camps
ahead of the May 6 nal round. But
Hollande did so more softly.
The math is brutal. Hollande won 28.6
percent of Sundays vote, Sarkozy won
27.2 percent and both need votes from
Le Pens far right to climb over 50 per-
cent but mostly Sarkozy. Hollande is
expected to get many of the backers of
far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon
who won 11 percent. The 9 percent who
voted for centrist candidate Francois
Bayrou are also in play.
Sarkozy named the National Front,
and in a bid to destigmatize those who
vote for the far-right party, said he
respects them. On the left some people
hold their noses, he said. I want to
say that we have heard them (the far
right) and know how to respond with
precise commitments.
The commitment he clearly named
was tightening French borders with
or without other European countries
to keep them from becoming a sieve
for immigrants and others.
Europe must change so as not to be
perceived as a threat but as a protection,
he said.
Son: Robin Gibb beat the
odds in waking from coma
LONDON The son of Robin Gibb
says the Bee Gees star has beaten the
odds by waking from a coma just days
after doctors said he may not survive.
The 62-year-old singer has advanced
colorectal cancer and remains in inten-
sive care. His doctor Andrew
Thillainayagam said Gibb had recently
caught pneumonia because he was
weakened from chemotherapy and two
operations.
His son, Robin-John Gibb, told ITV
News on Monday that they gave him an
under 10 percent survival chance and he
has beaten the odds
... he really is some-
thing else.
Thi l l ai nayagam
said the singer is
fully conscious and
able to speak. He
said Gibbs wife
Dwina and children
have been talking to
him and playing
music by his bedside every day.
The Bee Gees are best-known for a
string of disco-era hits including
Stayin Alive.

by the former finance director and
accounting supervisor sparked calls for
it to be altered or outright eradicated.
The district is governed by a represen-
tative appointed by each city and county
with land within the district and funded
by a share of the 1 percent property tax
and $3.74 parcel tax for areas within the
original boundaries, essentially the
Bayside from the Santa Clara County
boundary to Millbrae and from the Bay
to the Skyline area. The district also
receives a $17 benet assessment from
parcels in the remainder of the county
which was annexed in 2003 following
LAFCos rst municipal review when it
wanted to expand countywide in
response to the pending West Nile Virus.
The LAFCo report concluded that spe-
cial districts like the mosquito agency
would be better served by splitting up
accounting functions to make it more
likely that innocent errors will be found
and makes more deliberate fraud more
difcult. However, the report also notes
that in a small district like that a gen-
eral manager and two nance employees
separating those can be a challenge.
Those two nance employees at the
district are what led to the LAFCo
review. Between 2009 and 2011, former
finance director Joanne Seeney, 61,
worked for the district under the name Jo
Ann Dearman. Prosecutors who eventu-
ally led charges say she and accounting
assistant Vika Sinipata, 35, embezzled
more than $450,000 by giving them-
selves extra pay at a higher rate and
fraudulent time off, excessively con-
tributed to their deferred compensation
funds, used credit cards for personal pur-
chases and electronically transferred
money into their own accounts. The
alleged embezzlement came to light last
year when a district boardmember ques-
tioned expenses in the districts pesticide
account. At the time of Seeneys
employment, she had been prosecuted in
two different embezzlement cases.
The recent embezzlement accusations
underscores the responsibilities and
vulnerability of public agencies as stew-
ards of public funds, the report stated,
adding the suggestions of hiring more
staff, contracting some accounting serv-
ices and increasing administrative vigi-
lance.
The draft report does not make any
recommendations about the future of the
district, instead laying out ndings about
its governance and operations that the
entire LAFCo board will use next month
to determine what path if any is
best. First, however, the public is asked
to submit comments on the draft report
released late last week which will be
incorporated into the nal document.
The review of the districts nances
was hampered by the ongoing criminal
investigation and trial of the former
nance director and accounting supervi-
sor, both charged with eight counts of
embezzlement for allegedly taking at
least $650,000. However, the report con-
cluded it was still able to determine the
districts financial ability to provide
services which is a key goal of the
reviews.
While the district doesnt duplicate
services provided by the county or its
cities, they all share a common service
area and there are opportunities for col-
laboration which could cut costs, the
report stated.
Using the report, the LAFCo board
can maintain the status quo as an inde-
pendent special district or consider dis-
solving the district and transfer its
responsibilities to the county as either a
service area or a department function.
The Board of Supervisors would become
the governing body and the functions
most likely fall under the Environmental
Health division because it is already
structured in a way to provide specic
segregated services.
Savings in doing so include more than
$25,000 by eliminating the 21-member
board and possibly management posi-
tions that, excluding benefits, cost
approximately $254,000 in salaries.
The full draft report is available at

Public comments on the draft report
should be submitted by May 7 to LAFCo
Executive Ofcer Martha Poyatos at 455
County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063
or mpoyatos@smcgov.org, or 363-4224.

Board of Supervisors Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood

DISTRICT
cial challenges are at the heart of the
conversation though the committee sug-
gested a closure would not save that
much money. During a public meeting
last week, parents asked the board to
instead consider focusing on raising
enrollment and revenue rather than focus
on school closure.
Hutt wrote closure could benet the
district in terms of curriculum by creat-
ing less classes that combine different
grades. In addition, there is a need to cut
spending.
Since students, teachers and support
staff needs wouldnt change due to clos-
ing a school, the cost savings is from less
administration and other smaller costs.
Hutt estimated savings could range from
$200,000 to $250,000 annually.
Alternatively, those savings could be
reached by cutting three teachers, 150
computers or 11,000 hours of instruc-
tional aide time, he wrote.
For many years, the district turned to
decit spending or one-time funds to
cover its budget. This year, the board
directed staff to create a balanced budg-
et. While that has not yet been released,
it will mean spending about $750,000
less, Hutt said previously. In addition,
without proposed statewide taxes pass-
ing in November, school districts will
lose $370 per student or an estimated
$960,000 in the case of San Bruno. In
total, that would be $1.7 million less.
School closure is one of two things
before the board at Wednesdays meet-
ing. It will also discuss placing a $100
parcel tax on the November ballot to
raise revenue. Such a measure, Hutt
wrote, would generate about $1.2 mil-
lion annually. Revenue from a parcel tax
could be used toward the districts gen-
eral fund. Last year, the district attempt-
ed to pass Measure O, a $40 million
bond that could be used for facilities.
However, the measure failed.
Trustees for the district havent openly
discussed the options. Last week, the
district board was presented with the
report from the committee charged with
making a recommendation about which
district school to close. While the report
said there were no overwhelming rea-
sons to close a school, the committee
suggested combining two schools if the
board were to move forward.
Since it was just a presentation, the
board did not make any comments but
did allow public comments. The com-
mittees report said if a school should be
closed, transferring Crestmoor
Elementary School students to either
Rollingwood or Portola elementary
schools would be the least disruptive
option.
Starting this fall, San Bruno students
will attend elementary school through
fifth grade and start at Parkside
Intermediate in sixth grade. Changing
which school serves sixth grade will
shift about 280 students from the ele-
mentary schools. In addition, the district
has seen an overall drop in enrollment.
Combining those enrollment changes
with the possibility of additional cuts
from the state, the district needs to plan
for the worst-case scenario closing a
school, Hutt said.
As a district, San Bruno has previous-
ly tackled the possibility of closing a
school during the 2006-07 school year
due to a drop in enrollment. An uptick
for the following school year caused the
district to drop the talks.
Declining enrollment forced the clo-
sure of two schools in the 1970s. Carl
Sandburg Elementary was closed in
1978 and was sold for $30.5 million in
2006. The district leases 20 acres for a
driving range on what was once Engvall
Middle School at Interstate 280 and
Sneath Lane to VB Golf Inc.
The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday,
April 25 at Crestmoor Elementary, 2322
Crestmoor Drive, San Bruno. El Crystal
will have a community meeting 4 p.m.
Tuesday, April 24 at 201 N. Balboa Way,
San Bruno.

Department of Insurance.
They were arrested April 19 on
$50,000 warrants and were out on bail
the same day, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce.
Business owners who operate
unfairly in the underground economy
will be brought to justice, Insurance
Commissioner Dave Jones wrote in a
statement. I commend the excellent
work of the investigators in this large-
scale case and in our ongoing efforts to
bring fairness to the bidding process.
The workers compensation insurance
premium and payroll taxes unlawfully
evaded by Hallmark Roongs owners
gave them an unfair business advantage
which their competitors would not have
had, allowing them to operate in the
underground economy when bidding for
job projects, according to the state
Department of Insurance.
The couple is being charged with 24
felony counts for workers compensation
fraud and ve felony counts for tax eva-
sion, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
A forensic audit determined the
Applegates did not pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars in insurance premi-
ums, allowing their company to make
lower bids on projects than their com-
petitors.
The couple also failed to file tax
returns in both 2010 and 2011, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The allegations involve the defen-
dants lying about the amount of payroll
from 2007 to 2011 to get a reduced
workers compensation premium rate,
according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
They are due back in court May 22 for
an arraignment hearing.
CHARGES
TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Because material
conditions are holding steady at this point in time,
theres a strong likelihood that you could have a
little surplus in hand. Why not get yourself some-
thing special?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If you are planning on going
someplace where you could run into someone whom youre
anxious to impress, take extra time to primp a bit. Feel good
about yourself, and others will too.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Follow your compassionate
instincts when they urge you to do something nice for
another. However, its important that you do so with as
little fanfare as possible if you want to make the correct
impression.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)A huge hope or an expectation
might be fulflled through the good auspices of an old
friend. Be sure to acknowledge with proper gratitude all
that he or she does for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Theres a strong possibility
that you could learn a very valuable lesson: Happiness is
not based on how much you possess, but by interacting
with loving people whom you respect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)You never underestimate the
power of kind words, and youll use them to bolster the
spirits of another who is down on his or her luck. What
you offer will be the encouragement that is needed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)One of your biggest breaks
will come from being in the right place at the right time in
order to proft from some solid foundations laid by others. Its
a momentary cycle, so make the most of it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Youll be amazed at how
giving others the benefit of the doubt actually profits you. Its magic
works in your favor with all your relationships and on all levels.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Take advantage of
every opportunity you get that can put you on better terms
with co-workers. Nows the time to amass a huge surplus
of goodwillit will come in handy later.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Cupid is singling you out for
special attention by making it possible for you to attract the
regard of someone who may have never noticed you previ-
ously. Just be yourself and everything will fall into place.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)There is no one better than
you at sorting out complicated developments. Now is the
time to fgure out you need to attract someone wholl be
as focused as you are.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Because youll coat your
requests in a hint of sugar, others will be more likely to do
your bidding. However, youd better follow through or itll
be the last time such favors are bestowed.
