Utility fined for missing documents Papan, Burlingame Mayor Terry

Pacific Gas & Electric unable to prove safe pressure levels on entire system

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Pacific Gas & Electric was fined
$3 million yesterday by state regu-
lators for failing to produce reams
of documents related to pipeline
safety, although a local legislator
said the fine was not big enough.
The California Public Utilities
Commission had threatened to levy
fines of up to $1 million a day for
PG&E’s failings but reached a deal
with the utility yesterday to keep the
fines to a minimum.
The National Transportation
Safety Board and the CPUC ordered
PG&E to provide detailed engineer-

Bruno Sept. 9 that killed eight peo-

SALT LAKE CITY — Police say a

cover up for falling and ripping his new

him.
South Salt Lake police Sgt. Mikael
Wersland told the Salt Lake Tribune that
the teen reported the shooting Tuesday
evening. Police say about 10 witnesses
told them they did not hear any gunfire
in the area at the time.
Wersland says the boy “fell down and
tore the knee” of his pants, but lied about
being grazed by a bullet because he did-

says the teen only suffered a “scrape

The boy has not been identified. It was
not immediately known whether he
would be charged with any crime.

Folding cranes for Japan
San Bruno school supports sister city affected by earthquake
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Twelve-year-old Austin Kafon wanted to
make an origami crane Thursday after school.
He stopped by the Parkside Intermediate
School multipurpose room yesterday afternoon
donated to the 1,000 cranes fundraiser and got
started folding a provided piece of paper.
“I have cousins in Japan. They’re all OK. But
I wanted to make one just for them,” he said.
Kafon got stuck, however.
Thankfully, 13-year-old helper Abraham
Valez, dressed in a striped suit, had memorized
the steps and took over. Kafon watched while
Valez reworked the paper into a swan.
It was all part of a San Bruno effort to support
its sister city Narita, Japan. Students at Parkside
Intermediate volunteered to help show people
how to fold cranes while collecting $2 dona-
tions. The San Bruno Lions partnered with the
school’s Leo Club to serve food. All the pro-
ceeds raised will be used to support Narita, said
eighth grader Mohammed Abudamous.
Narita is far from the epicenter of the earth-
quake earlier this month but felt terrible shakes.
Supplies like groceries, water, toiletries, gas and
batteries were also hard to come by.
Teacher Johnna Cabrera, who coordinates the
school’s relationship with Narita, said the lesson
comes from the book “Sadako and the
Thousand Paper Cranes,” a story of a child who
lived in Hiroshima at the time of the atomic
bombing. She developed leukemia from the
radiation and spent her time in the hospital cre-
ating origami cranes in hopes of making a thou-
sand and having her wish to live granted.
After San Bruno’s Sept. 9 explosion and fire,
Narita supported San Bruno, said Cabrera. It’s
natural to want to do something to show sup-
port, she said.
Fall trial in courthouse gun case
The man who prosecutors say brought a
handgun into the Redwood City courthouse
branch where he was head-

custody will stand trial in
the fall on a felony firearm
charge.
James Douglas Knapp,
45, of Sacramento, is
charged with one count of
possessing a firearm in a
public building and one
James Knapp count of possessing a
loaded firearm in a public
building. He pleaded not guilty in Superior
Court yesterday and set an Oct. 17 jury trial

While both San Bruno and Narita will not
overcome their issues quickly, Mayor Jim
Ruane stressed it’s important to have hope.
“The Japanese believe when one thousands
cranes are sent, your troubles will go away,”
Ruane said during the well-attended event.
Valez, who memorized the steps to an origa-
mi crane over a few days, explained it’s impor-
tant to help others.

Cold case murder
suspect arrested in Texas
A 37-year-old man was arrested
in Laredo, Texas earlier this month
in connection with the 1995 mur-
der of Gabriella Tello in East Palo
Alto.
Jose Luis Arreola was arrested
March 10 at a border crossing by
U.S. Homeland Security agents.
Tello, 19, was found murdered
inside her home in East Palo Alto
May 21, 1995. Tello was discov-
ered by a family member who
arrived home after a family gather-
ing in Menlo Park. Inside the home
at the time of the murder was
Tello’s 2-year-old daughter who
was not harmed, according to
police.
At the time of the incident, the
investigation was handled by
detectives from the San Mateo
County Sheriff’s Office. It was
determined that Tello had been
stabbed and the suspect was identi-
fied as Arreola, her boyfriend, who
was 20 years old at the time,
according to police. A warrant was
issued for Arreola’s arrest, howev-
er, it is believed that he fled to
Mexico after the murder, according
to police.
Over the years, unsuccessful
attempts were made to locate
Arreola, who has multiple aliases
including Mario Garcia and
Gerardo Tello.
The case has been forwarded to
the San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

two separate residential burglaries
Wednesday night in which a sus-

The first incident occurred on the
700 block of Anacapa Lane about
6:40 p.m., according to police. A
young resident was home and saw
the suspect, a white male, in his
20s, described as 5 feet 10 inches
tall, with brown hair, wearing a
black shirt and light blue jeans. The
suspect entered the home through
an unlocked ground floor window
and fled without physically con-
fronting the victim. No property
was taken during this incident,
according to police.
The second crime occurred about
9:08 p.m. on the 500 block of
Nottingham Lane. The suspect in
this case shattered a window to
gain entry and took a piece of jew-
elry, according to police. Upon his
arrival in the residence, the home-
owner encountered the intruder.
The suspect, seen running from the
home, was an adult male, approxi-
mately 5 feet 10 inches tall,
described as having an athletic
build and wearing a black hooded
sweatshirt and dark pants, accord-
ing to police.

Assemblywoman seeks
to ease rules for electric

A ruling by the California Public
Utilities Commission regarding
electric vehicle
charging sta-
tions could be
codified into law
if officials
approve legisla-
tion that was
announced
Thursday in San
Francisco by
Fiona Ma
s t a t e
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma.
Ma, D-San Francisco, announced
Assembly Bill 631, which would
place into law a decision by the
CPUC to not regulate the charging
stations as utilities.
The legislation would encourage
the expanded use of electric cars
throughout the state by clarifying
the regulatory status of charging
stations, Ma spokesman Nick
Hardeman said.
Without the bill, businesses that
installed the stations could be clas-
sified as utilities, which would
make CPUC officials responsible
for regulating how much it cost a
person to charge their electric vehi-
cle, Hardeman said.
The uncertainty over charging
station regulations has been “one
of the big obstacles of getting
charging stations placed,” he said.

‘Caltrain could be gone’
Ballot measure needed to save train service
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrain “could be gone” unless
voters in three counties approve a
tax measure in 2012 to provide a
dedicated funding stream for the
failing agency, SamTrans director
Adrienne Tissier said yesterday.
The statement from Tissier, also a
San Mateo County supervisor, came
as Caltrain is facing a $30 million
deficit for the next budget cycle and
relying on contributions from three
transit agencies to survive.
However, that money is drying up as
the San Mateo County Transit
District struggles with its own struc-
tural deficit.
In the meantime, transit officials
are hoping to piece together a jig-
saw puzzle worth of solutions for
Caltrain with help from the
Metropolitan Transportation
Commission and $7.1 million in a
repayment to SamTrans from Santa
Clara County’s Valley
Transportation Agency.
The board of directors for
SamTrans held a special study ses-
sion yesterday to look closely at the
bus service’s own financial woes
and its impact on Caltrain.
SamTrans’ deficit for fiscal year
2012 is expected to be about $11
million after reducing its annual
contribution to Caltrain to $4.9 mil-
lion. Just two years ago, SamTrans
provided about $15 million to
Caltrain’s annual budget.
Reserves will make up the deficit
this year for SamTrans but that
money will be totally gone by the
middle of 2015 based on budget
projections.
Caltrain is considering the reduc-
tion of weekday trains from 86 to
just 48 to run during commute hours
only and the suspension of weekday
service at up to seven stations
including Bayshore, South San
Francisco, San Bruno, Burlingame,
Hayward Park, Belmont, San
Antonio, Lawrence, Santa Clara and
College Park.
“If it is an emergency then act
like it’s an emergency....Stop the
kidding around and get off your butts.”
SamTrans’ Chief Executive
Officer Michael Scanlon said he
hopes the proposed solutions from
the MTC, including a possible
“fund swap” could help minimize
the service reductions and keep
more than 48 trains running during
weekdays next fiscal year.
SamTrans has previously
swapped money meant for capital
expenses, such as buying new buses,
to the operations side of the transit
agency’s ledger.
Caltrain declared a fiscal emer-
gency earlier this month.
The board accepted public com-
ment yesterday, in near complete
dark due to a power outage, from
people mostly concerned about
keeping train stations open or find-
ing funding solutions for the trou-
bled agency. But one comment from
the public led to a shouting match
between SamTrans’ CEO Michael
Scanlon and a candidate for county
supervisor.
The word “emergency” led to a
contentious moment between
Scanlon and Michael Stogner, a
candidate for District One county
supervisor, during public comment.
Stogner, a Burlingame resident, is
a victim’s rights advocate who chal-
lenged the use of the word “emer-
gency.”
“If it is an emergency then act like
it’s an emergency,” Stogner said.
“Stop the kidding around and get off
your butts.”
Stogner was referencing to what
he called the “near constant kidding
around” Scanlon engages in with
the board.
Scanlon, however, was not
amused.
“Go run your campaign
somewhere else,” Scanlon

The incident happened just as the

took place in San Carlos.

heard from others, including former

side of the campus is sparse. The lot is cur-
rently slated to be staff parking, but Claire
said parking issues change often and it could
be used by students in the future.
A final decision on the building should be
made by the end of the year, Claire estimated.
Before that time, many alternatives could be
discussed.
Claire was open to considering a smaller
parking lot that maintains the garden.
Alternatively, the campus is 153 acres, he
said. Plants could be moved to a more central
location that could be enjoyed by a larger por-
tion of the school community.
Getting rid of a building raises questions for
those in programs like forestry and horticul-
ture which use not only the classrooms but the
neighboring garden and greenhouses.
It’s too early to know which programs could
be subject to cuts, but with a tight budget, cut
conversations are likely. Claire said there are
protocols to making such decisions including
conversations with faculty.
“We’re asking people to think outside the
box to meet their program needs,” he said.

Controller asleep — but how many did airport need?
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Should jetlin-
ers be landing with only a single air
traffic controller on duty — even if
he’s awake?
Federal officials are grappling
with that question following the
safe landing of two jetliners this
week with no help from the lone air
traffic supervisor on duty at
Washington’s Reagan National
Airport. He’s been suspended, and
safety investigators say he has
acknowledged he was asleep.
The incident comes nearly five
years after a fatal crash in Kentucky
in which a controller was working
alone. Accident investigators said
that controller was most likely suf-
fering from fatigue, although they
placed responsibility for the crash
that took 49 lives on the pilots.
Still, the National Air Traffic
Controllers Association warned at
the time against putting controllers
alone on shifts and assigning tiring
work schedules.

Rinaldi, made the same point again
on Thursday: “One-person shifts are
unsafe. Period.”

LOS ANGELES — It’s a custody
case in which no one disputes these
tragic facts: A healthy young woman
went to the hospital to deliver her
triplets, was badly brain damaged by
a series of medical errors and can no
longer walk, talk or even feed herself.
But Abbie Dorn’s attorney says that

Superior Court Judge Frederick C.
Shaller at a hearing in Los Angeles
Thursday that the 34-year-old woman
has the same rights to regular visits
with her children as any other parent.
“They can call her mommy and,
most of all, they can tell her they love
her,” attorney Lisa Meyer said during
closing arguments at a hearing to
decide whether Dorn is allowed to see
her children for two weeks every sum-
mer and a week in the spring and fall.
The attorney for Dorn’s ex-husband,
Dan Dorn, countered Meyer, saying
that as tragic as her situation is, she is
no longer capable of being a parent
and that if her children are to see her it
should only be under the supervision
of their father and on his terms.

6.8 earthquake strikes
Myanmar; many dead
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — More than 20 people are believed
dead after a strong earthquake in northeastern Myanmar. The
magnitude-6.8 quake shook buildings as far away as the Thai
capital Bangkok on Thursday night.
A Myanmar state-run newspaper reported two people dead,
but an official said Friday that at least 20 more were killed in a
village where more than a dozen houses collapsed. He said the
toll could rise. Rural Myanmar is underdeveloped, with poor
communications facilities and little rescue and relief capacity.
In Thailand’s border town of Mae Sai, one woman was killed
when a wall fell on her, but damage was otherwise minimal.
Myanmar pegged the quake at 7.0-magnitude, higher than the
measurement of the U.S. Geological Survey, whose statistics
are considered the standard. There were also reports of minor
damage in northern Thailand, where a woman died when a
brick wall collapsed on her, police Capt. Weerapon Samranjai
said. Cracks spread in the foundations of some buildings in the
province surrounding the city of Chiang Rai, about 55 miles (90
kilometers) from the epicenter. The spires fell off two pagodas.
“The tremor was so strong, and things fell down from the
shelves. It was very scary, and we all ran out to the streets,”
said a 25-year old woman who runs a mini-mart in Tachileik,
a Myanmar town near the border.

Targets deep within Libya hit

base deep inside Libya on Thursday as
the U.S. reduced its combat role in the
international operation that is working to
thwart Moammar Gadhafi’s forces by

A question of accounting,and tactics in Millbrae
W
hen former city manager Ralph
Jaeck came to Millbrae in 2004,
the city was facing a host of
issues including poor morale at the police
department and the possibility of losing its
police force altogether. The city’s coffers
were hurting in part because of the economy,
but also because of instability at the top. It
had been left with temporary management
after former city administrator Jim Erickson
left for Benicia in 2003.
Jaeck, with his mellow coolness and
wealth of management experience, was able
to right the ship and quell the rising disquiet
over the city’s finances.
When he left the city in 2008, he was mak-
ing $218,600 a year, a tidy sum for a city of
Millbrae’s size. But we didn’t hear much
about the problems with Millbrae’s finances,
at least nowhere near the amount as we had

zon, sure, but that was the case with every
city in California. After Jaeck retired, no one
Letters to the editor
The truth about Save the Bay
Editor,
This letter is in response to Stanford M.
Horn’s guest perspective “Save the Bay, or its
people?” in the March 23 edition of the Daily
Journal.
Neighbors, let’s not kid ourselves. Save the
Bay isn’t some earnest assemblage of local
environmentalists looking out for us. Save the
Bay’s executives are, in fact, expert spin doc-
tors and political operatives, many of whom
learned their art of deception in Washington.
They have a single mission and it has nothing
to do with the needs of Redwood City. Their
gambit is easy to see: first, hoodwink local
residents and city councils into opposing the
Saltworks project with emotional appeals that
pave over the facts. Then, having disposed of
private funding and an increased tax base,
reach into the taxpayer’s pocket to buy and
restore the land with hundreds of millions of
dollars we don’t have and instead need for
schools, public safety and job creation.
Here’s the truth: The Saltworks project
solves real problems this community is des-
perate to solve. It does it with private funding.
It will actually restore hundreds of acres of
wetlands in a handful of years, not Save the
Bay’s decades. Let’s not allow some political
operatives to convince us otherwise.

could ever say he was not the epitome of pro-
fessionalism and a solid statesman for the
city.
This week, Councilman Paul Seto noticed
a discrepancy in payment to Jaeck that
showed the possibility that the city overpaid
$17,913.58. That’s no small sum, but consid-
ering the work Jaeck did for the city and the
time that has passed since he left, it’s not
necessarily something to fight over. Indeed,
dispatching a letter to Jaeck from the city
attorney by FedEx is not necessarily a friend-
ly move and Jaeck did the understandable
thing in lawyering up while expressing dis-
may over the action.
While Jaeck was a good leader for the city,
no one is above question. But the possible
accounting mistake was compounded with
the city’s approach. A simple letter from the
dards only means covering the bare mini-
mum.
The singular emphasis on multiple-choice,
Scantron tests gives English teachers little
reason to teach writing anymore. With an
essay section that 70 percent of 10th graders
pass on first try, the writing portion of the
California Exit Exam is really more of an
addendum than a critical part of the test. The
Exit Exam essays are typically persuasive
prompts on school uniforms or the impor-
tance of computers, topics that students have
written about ad nauseam throughout their
academic careers. None of the complexities
of the writing process are addressed: There is
no information to explicate or analyze, and
the final result is nothing but a rushed first
draft.
It wasn’t always this way. When I started
teaching high school 21 years ago, the drive
was to make expository writing process the
center of the English curriculum. The Bay
Area Writing Project, Cal’s credential pro-
gram specially designed for English teachers,
trained a new generation of “teaching writers”
whose commitment to the writing process
was deeply ingrained not only in their profes-
sions but in their lives as well. To these teach-
ers, all of the “standards” of Language Arts
instruction — reading, grammar, vocabulary-
building — had to manifest themselves not in
multiple choice tests but in a polished piece
of student writing. Even our state complied,
with two-day essay assessments in place of
the traditional, multiple guess exams students
had taken before.
I yearn for those days.

taken and now attorneys are involved.
Pursuing this path could lead to a legal battle
that could cost far more than the amount in
question.
It might be tempting to pursue, but it
would not be a good use of current revenue.
It is critical for the Millbrae City Council
to keep a keen eye on its coffers and Seto’s
observation should be lauded. However, it
also brings into question what other discrep-
ancies there may be in the city and its pay-
ments to its workers both past and present.
At this point, the city’s leadership would
be wise to put the issue with Jaeck’s payment
on the back burner and focus instead on its
current finances to make sure its books are
straight today. The city should then look at
past payments to make sure they also match.
If there are further discrepancies, including
what was paid to Jaeck, then the city should
decide if the overall sum is worth pursuing.
my is already in really bad shape. California
is facing massive budget cuts and layoffs.
The standard of education is in decline. Is
this the right time to launch an unprovoked
war against Libya?
A Pew research poll clearly showed that 63
percent of Americans were opposed to mili-
tary intervention in Libya. Why did the
administration so callously reject the public
opinion and go to war? The British economy
is in even worse shape than our economy.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s populari-
ty rating is even worse than former President
Bush. Therefore, both President Sarkozy and
British Prime Minister Cameron need some-
thing to show for to improve their image.
This is not true for us. Our country is already
engaged in wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen
and Pakistan. Our beloved military contrac-
tors do not maintain proper records.
Therefore, we cannot trace where the billions
of American taxpayer dollars are going. Our
human rights record is not something we can
be proud of given Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo,
recent Afghanistan civilian murder “trophy”
photographs and not to mention the way our
military is treating Private Bradley Manning.
If a natural disaster like the one Japan
encountered were to happen in United States,
are we prepared? Do we not need resources
here? How many American families go hun-
gry each night? Why do we feed the already
fat military contractors with our dollars while
we can feed the hungry and over-worked
American citizens here? As responsible citi-

Honesty needed
on 2012 budget
— Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wis.
T
hank goodness for the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office.
The CBO estimated that President Barack
Obama’s proposed 2012 budget will lead to
$9.5 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years.
That’s about $2.3 trillion more than what the
Obama administration had projected, accord-
ing to the Associated Press.
Part of the difference stems from the
Obama administration assuming rosier rev-
enue projections for the federal government
over the next decade.
But some of the difference also results from
the president’s empty pledges to save money.
The CBO wisely refused to count the
administration’s vague claim that it will save
more than $300 billion to prevent cuts in
Medicare payments to doctors. The CBO
notes that the administration hasn’t specified
how those savings will be achieved.
The CBO also rejected the administration’s
claim it would save more than $300 billion in
“bipartisan financing” to cover the cost of
high-speed rail, road and bridge projects, the
AP reported.
The president should be blunt and honest
about how bad America’s finances have
become. The red ink Obama inherited from
the Bush administration as well as Obama’s
big spending are both to blame.
Honesty is the best way to build more buy-
in from the public for difficult budget deci-
sions, which most experts agree will have to
include benefit cuts and some tax increase.
Hope is fine when drafting budgets that
strive to control America’s debt crisis. But
change is what’s really needed to get the job
done.
Open primaries:What
about will of the people?
— The Bakersfield Californian
L
ast June, California voters approved
Proposition 14, which promised to
promote competition in state politics
by listing all candidates for a given office on a
single primary ballot, regardless of party affil-
iation. The top-two vote-getters would
advance to the November runoff — an
arrangement that proponents believe will ben-
efit more moderate candidates and help create
a less polarized, more stalemate-resistant
Legislature.
But last weekend, California Republicans
approved a measure whereby the party would
hold a mail-in nominating process with all
registered GOP voters before the primary
election, with the winner of that contest being
designated as the official Republican candi-
date — a move clearly intended to circumvent
the impact of Prop. 14.
Hey, what about the will of the people?
What about all of those voters who unambigu-
ously declared their support for a top-two
runoff?
Now, consider this: Last August, a federal
judge overturned Proposition 8, the 2008 bal-
lot measure approved by California voters that
essentially banned gay marriage. Proponents
of Prop. 8, many of whom count themselves
as Republicans, decried the court’s action as a
circumvention of voters’ will. Of course, the
court was simply applying a constitutional
standard to the new law — which is precisely
its duty, whether one agrees with the decision
or not. Here, however, a political party with
the option of making its own rules is con-
sciously and deliberately ignoring voters’
wishes.
Californians have had it with Republicans
and Democrats alike who, elected by the most
conservative and liberal wings of their parties,
go to Sacramento and settle into ideological
trenches. The GOP is still digging trenches.

NEW YORK — Stronger corporate

continue to focus on the underlying
recovery of the U.S. economy.”

SEATTLE — Database software
maker Oracle Corp. said Thursday its net

Puliceno powers Panthers
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Basketball or “basquete.” Win or “vitoria.”
Legend or “legenda.”
It doesn’t matter if you speak English or
Portuguese, if you witnessed Rodrigo
Puliceno play for Burlingame this season, you
left with the impression that the young man
originally from Rio de Janiero Brazil had a
remarkable, record-setting campaign for the
Panthers in 2011.
Or as head coach Jeff Dowd described it,
“unbelievable.”
“Incrível.”
“It’s an honor to coach a kid like that, who
goes out and is such a competitor on both
ends of the court,” Dowd said. “(He was a)
great defensive player for us, great offensive
player and just a great competitor. With his
blend of size and quickness, he created some
unbelievable match-up problems for other
teams.”
Puliceno’s fire and competitiveness was at
the forefront of the Panthers and their school-
record 27-win campaign — a season that
included their first ever win in the Northern
California tournament.
Along the way, the post player put up 12
points a game and brought down the same
number of rebounds per contest. His contri-
butions and versatility on defense gave the
Peninsula Athletic League fits all season long
and there wasn’t a more consistent player all
year in the county.
It’s for those reasons that Rodrigo is the
Daily Journal Male Basketball Player of the
Year: “jogador de basquete do ano.”
“This year was great,” Puliceno said. “We
had special players this year. It felt like, more
than a team. It felt like a family. That’s why
we went so far. I’m going to miss everyone
because this team was great to play with.”
In his time at Burlingame, the concept of
team is all Puliceno has known. And that has
allowed him to find “home” in a town some
6,500 miles from his birthplace.
“He is right up there with the best that
Burlingame has ever produced,” Dowd said.
“We have a phrase we use, ‘Never be afraid of
your best effort,’ just go out there and give it
everything you have and that’s exactly what
you get from Rodrigo.”
On most days, Puliceno’s best effort meant
the Panthers were going home with a win.
The forward hit double-digit points in 22 of
his team’s 32 games. More impressively was
his presence inside for Burlingame — in those
32 games Puliceno was held to single digit
rebounds only five times including a season-
high 23 in a game against Jefferson.
It was that dominance in the interior and
his commitment to defense that elevated an
already elite player into legendary status.
“He was able to defend all five positions
and then inside he was just unstoppable,”
Dowd said. “Our last game against El
Cerrito, he has a poor game by his standards,
I think you look at his stats and he had seven
points, but he had 14 rebounds. And so, in
some of our best years, we never had a guy go
out there and get 14 rebounds in a down
game. He was the MVP of our team.”
It’s been quite the journey for the PAL Bay
division Player of the Year. Puliceno tells a
humorous tale of his first day of school. With
no English in his repertoire and the world
moving at a 1,00 miles per hour, Puliceno was
approached by guard Zach Grotz.
“He said, I’m going to buy you lunch. And
I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And he said, ‘Do you like
pizza?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah.’ But I had no
clue what he was saying.”
That was the birth of a beautiful cama-
raderie with Puliceno and the Burlingame
campus. He credits the love he’s felt with his
desire to stay in the U.S. “If it wasn’t for (my
team) I probably would have gone back to
Brazil a long time ago,” he said.
And thus Puliceno has repaid Burlingame’s
hospitality with three phenomenal seasons of
basketball in which his evolution has been at
the heart of their success.
“When you look at the quality of teams that
we played,” Dowd said, “for him to go out and
get those kind of numbers and then also be
able to guard guys on the perimeter, get steals.
Even in that St. Ignatius game (semifinals of
the CCS tournament), he created our first six
points because he got out on the passing lanes
and converted at the other end. He’s right up
there with the best (to ever play at
Burlingame).”
“We may have lost in CCS, but the 27 wins
(in a season) is something no one can take
away from us,” Puliceno said. “I’m going to
miss everyone.”

Chemistry
lesson for
Bonds jury
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds’ trial was
a lot like high school chemistry and biology
class Thursday.
After former Bonds business partner Steve
Hoskins finished a cross-examination in which
he admitted his previous statements included
inconsistencies and inaccuracies, Larry Bowers
of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency took the wit-
ness stand for more than four hours of mind-
numbing testimony on the whats, whys and
hows of steroids, human growth hormone and
changes they cause to the body.
Bonds is charged with lying when he told a
grand jury in 2003 that he didn’t knowingly use
performance-enhancing drugs. The jury of eight
women and four men was treated to an
Advanced Placement class in Androgen recep-
tors and Acromegaly, a condition in which there
is too much HGH in the body.
Prosecutors allege Bonds’ feet, hands and
head grew due to use of HGH, and Bowers tes-
tified as an expert witness about scientific stud-
ies alleging HGH abuse causes soft tissue
swelling. Defense lawyer Allen Ruby tried to
make the science sound like mumbo-jumbo.
“If someone abuses human growth hormone,
how much does their head grow?” Ruby said.
“Does it grow twice as big?”

ANAHEIM — The legend of Kemba Walker is
growing bigger with each postseason feat for the
Connecticut Huskies, who are on the brink of
another trip to the Final Four.
Walker scored 22 of his 36 points in another
dynamic second-half performance, relentlessly
driving UConn down the stretch in a 74-67 victo-
ry over San Diego State in the West regional semi-

Freshman Jeremy Lamb added 24 points and hit
a clutch 3-pointer with 1:43 left for the third-seed-

days to capture the Big East
tournament and now are
going to an NCAA regional

for the Huskies down the
stretch.

With four 3-pointers and a little veteran savvy to

Walker outdueled Aztecs point guard D.J. Gay,
who scored 16 points and trimmed UConn’s sec-

Butler does it again
By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Wisconsin’s normally
suffocating defense could not slow Matt
Howard and Butler’s run toward a second
straight Final Four appearance. If anything, the
Bulldogs may be gaining momentum.
After narrowly surviving its first two NCAA
tournament games by margins of two points or
less, Butler led by 20 points before holding on
for a 61-54 victory over the Badgers on
Thursday night.
Howard had 20 points and 12 rebounds,
Shelvin Mack scored 13 points and Shawn
Vanzant 10 for the eighth-seeded Bulldogs (26-
9), who upset top-seeded Pittsburgh by one
point in the second round and now have
knocked off another higher seed in fourth-seed-
ed Wisconsin.
The victory sent Butler into the Southeast
NCAA tournament after missing 26 games with a
toe injury. Kyle Singler added 18 as one of three
Blue Devils in second-half foul trouble. Nolan
Smith was held to eight points — well under the
senior’s 21-point average.
Down by six points early in the second half, the
Wildcats unleashed a scoring rampage that left the

Jordan Taylor scored 22 for Wisconsin (25-9),

normally one of the Badgers’ top offensive
forces with 18.7 points per game coming in, was

Butler was the aggressor from the outset,
using quickness and heady play to counter
Wisconsin’s size advantage. The Bulldogs took
a 6-5 lead on Vanzant’s 3 from the corner and
never trailed again in the first half.
While the Bulldogs shot 50 percent (12 of 24)
in the opening 20 minutes, their defense was
equally impressive. Wisconsin came in averag-

NEW ORLEANS — BYU had the best scorer

Alex Tyus scored 19 points and grabbed 17

Thursday night, chasing Jimmer Fredette and the
Cougars out of the NCAA tournament.

countered with balance.
Kenny Boynton added 17

Fredette to work for his points
against Florida’s physical

but the baskets kept coming until he was held
scoreless in overtime.
When the outcome became apparent with one
minute remaining, BYU coach Dave Rose
subbed out Fredette, bringing a standing ovation
from the crowd.
Florida (29-7) eliminated BYU (32-5) and

The Gators led for much of the first half, but
BYU rallied to tie the game at 36 by halftime.
Florida was almost unstoppable early, making
10 of its first 13 shots and leading by 10 points
early. But the Gators cooled dramatically from
that point, making just 4 of 13 from the field and
1 of 6 from the free-throw line in the first half.
Fredette, who came into the game as the
nation’s leading scorer at 28.8 points per game,

There’s a good chance Kokenis
will be in the starting lineup next

The departing players feel like the
program is in good hands with

ment star sisters Nnemkadi and
Chiney Ogwumike inside.
“She definitely has stepped up,”
Pedersen said of Kokenis. “I don’t
think she lets any of that affect her,
like any of the hype or anything.
Toni just comes in and she is fear-
less. She doesn’t really care about
anything besides getting the job
done and how she can help us. If
that means stepping up big for us in
a game, like she did at UCLA, then
that is what it is. Or if it means mak-
ing the pass to the post, that is what
she does. I just think that selfless
mentality is really making her stand
out right now.”
“I felt good. The first two innings
went pretty smooth,” said Saunders,
who retired the first six batters he
faced. “The third inning, I had some
tough things — a couple broken-bat
hits, a couple walks. There was only
on hard-hit ball in that inning. Got
through that then made on bad pitch
to Kouzmanoff (to lead off the
fourth). Other than that, I threw the
ball pretty well.”
Saunders has given up 19 runs in 13
2-3 innings this spring.

Kings edge Sharks in shootout BONDS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Dustin Brown scored two
power-play goals and connected again in the fifth
round of the shootout, giving the Los Angeles
Kings a 4-3 victory over San Jose on Thursday
night and snapping the Sharks’ four-game winning
streak.
Patrick Marleau scored the tying goal for the
Sharks twice in the final 3:32 of the third period,
getting his second with just 4.1 seconds left after
Brown’s 25th goal put the Kings back in front with
1:42 remaining in regulation.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The World Series
champion San Francisco Giants are looking more
fragile by the day.
With closer Brian Wilson already ailing, the
Giants found out NL championship series MVP
Cody Ross would be lost for about three weeks,
news that came a few hours before they lost 7-1 to
the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean said the
team will be ready come opening day.
“We are happy with the amount of innings
played, innings pitched. Nobody has been cheated
out of an opportunity. We really didn’t see a lot of

SPORTS
Kings 4, Sharks 3 SO
Kings, Alec Martinez had two assists and Jonathan
Quick finished with 24 saves, improving to 9-0 in
shootouts this season and 21-7 for his career.
On Marleau’s first goal, Quick fanned on his
seemingly harmless wrist shot from the top of the
left circle. On the second, Marleau jammed his
33rd of the season inside the right post after a slick
passing play from rookie Logan Couture to Ryane
Clowe to Marleau after the Kings failed to clear the
puck out of the zone.
Stoll scored the Kings’ first goal of the tiebreak-
er, making him 8 for 9 this season and tying it after
Dan Boyle scored on the Sharks’ first attempt. The
game ended when Marleau, the Sharks’fifth shoot-
er, lost the puck off his stick as he came on Quick.
Los Angeles remained tied with Nashville for
depth of our roster.”
Chad Huffman hit a three-run homer and an
RBI double and Luke Carlin added a solo homer
for the Indians.
Left-hander David Huff, making a late bid to
earn the final spot in Cleveland’s rotation, pitched
five shutout innings, giving up three hits. Manager
Manny Acta is due to announce his rotation on
Saturday.
The Indians scored three runs — only one
earned — in the third inning off Giants starter
Barry Zito. Carlin hit a two-out homer off the left-
hander in the sixth and Huffman connected in the
seventh off Ramon Ramirez for his third homer of
the spring.
Miguel Tejada hit a solo homer in the seventh
fifth place in the conference, three points behind
Phoenix. The Kings have eight games remaining,
including a rematch with the Sharks on April 4 at
San Jose.
Los Angeles was playing its first game since
right wing Justin Williams dislocated his shoulder
on Monday in a 2-1 shootout win against Calgary.
The 12-year veteran, who signed a four-year, $14.6
contract extension on Feb. 28, had played in each
of the team’s first 73 games and had 22 goals and
57 points.
Mitchell put the Kings ahead 2-1 at 9:07 of the
second period on a 45-foot slap shot from the slot
that beat Niemi to the glove side. Oscar Moller’s
jam attempt from the right of the crease was kicked
out by Niemi all the way to Mitchell, who waited
for some traffic to form in front of the net before
shooting.

signed Tejada as a free agent after parting ways
with World Series MVP Edgar Renteria.
Ross strained his right calf while chasing a fly-
ball to right field on Wednesday. Wilson continues
to have difficulty with his strained left abdominal
muscle. He tried to play catch on Wednesday but
had to shut it down because the pain had not sub-
sided.
Sabean said it is “50-50” on Wilson being ready
on opening day. Wilson could remain in
Scottsdale, where the weather is warmer, and con-
tinue to rehabilitate his injury.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Continued from page 11
Many of the times Ruby asked a pointed
question, Bowers answered that there were too
many variables to give a single answer.
“You know the difference between theories
and proof?” Ruby asked sarcastically.
Bonds, in a dark suit, light pink shirt and
dark pink tie, read through a binder book at his
defense table. Jurors attentively followed, but
they didn’t take as many notes as they did dur-
ing the testimony of Hoskins on Wednesday
and Thursday morning.
The trial hasn’t exactly been must-see
drama in the Bay Area, where Bonds set major
league season (73) and career (762) records
for home runs during a career than ended in
2007.
When Bowers began his afternoon testimo-
ny, just 27 of the approximately 100 seats in
the court room were occupied, and eight of
those were in the Bonds family row. Having
experienced the uncomfortable wood bench
earlier in the week, three people in that row
brought pillows with them.
Only three witnesses testified during the
trial’s first week, and there is no session on
Fridays. When the trial resumes Monday, the
government intends to call IRS Special Agent
Mike Wilson, Bonds’ former girlfriend
Kimberly Bell, former Giants head athletic
trainer Stan Conte and former Bonds personal
shopper Kathy Hoskins.
Bowers, USADA’s chief science officer,
described how the organization helped
unmask the designer steroid dubbed “the
clear,” which turned out to be
Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG). Bonds admitted
taking “the clear,” but told the grand jury that
personal trainer Greg Anderson — who is in
prison for refusing to testify — informed him
it was “flaxseed oil.”

Hyper-stylized violence,thoroughly adolescent
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For even Zack Snyder, this is
some nonsense.
The director of “300” and
“Watchmen” has temporarily
abandoned comic books as
source material, if not inspira-
tion. “Sucker Punch” is based on
Snyder’s own concept and writ-
ten by him and Steve Shibuya,
but retains Snyder’s hyper-styl-
ized violence and thoroughly
adolescent sense of reality.
The film, vaguely set in the
‘60s, opens with a long, dia-
logue-free section in which our
20-year-old heroine Babydoll
(Emily Browning) and her
younger sister lose their mother.
They’re left at the mercy of a
cruel stepfather (Gerard
Plunkett), who kills the sister
and frames it on Babydoll. He
quickly hides her away in that
most fearsome of hellholes:
Brattleboro, Vt.
It’s not a nightmare of quaint
B&Bs and art galleries that await
Babydoll, but rather a gothic
mental hospital where the obvi-
ously corrupt chief doctor Blue
(Oscar Isaac) presides. He
immediately schedules Babydoll
for a lobotomy in five days time.
The film then shifts to a layer
of unexplained fantasy where the
hospital is instead a nightclub.

AN ASIDE:
SF Playhouse Artistic Director Bill
English said, “Medical science has devised
hundreds of ways for technology to inter-
face directly with the brain and soon there
JESSICA PALOPOLI
will be many more. Are these changes
inevitable? Is it possible to roll back the
force of progress? Are technological
advances all good for us? Should there be
laws governing the power of technology to
affect our consciousness? Wirehead is a
wake-up call for all of us as we plunge head-
long into uncharted waters.”
USE YOUR HEAD:
SF Playhouse invites audience members
to stay after select performances of
Wirehead and explore the fascinating topic
of artificial intelligence with local experts in
artificial technology and biomedicine.
Admission to these talk backs is free with a

THEATRE LOOKS AT THEATRE. The
Cutting Ball Theater stages the Bay Area
Premieres of three short works by play-
wright Will Eno: Lady Grey (in ever lower
light), Intermission, and Mr. Theatre Comes
Home Different. Cutting Ball Artistic
Director Rob Melrose notes, “In these meta-
theatrical plays, Eno looks at theater from
many peculiar angles – from the view of a
child doing show and tell, from the view on
stage looking at the audience, and from the
view of a character who embodies the very
idea of theater itself. It is a refreshing
reminder of what makes this art form alive,
vulnerable, comical and mysterious.
Enjoy!” 85 minutes including a 15-minute
intermission. Through April 10. Tickets $15
to $30. cuttingball.com or (415) 419-3584.

Zsa Zsa Gabor hospitalized
after Liz Taylor’s death
LOS ANGELES — Zsa Zsa Gabor’s
publicist says the shock of Elizabeth
Taylor’s death made
Gabor fear she was
next and sent her to a
Los Angeles hospital
with high blood pres-
sure. John Blanchette
says the 94-year-old
celebrity learned from
television news
Zsa Zsa Gabor Wednesday morning
that her friend and
one-time neighbor had died.
Blanchette says Gabor’s blood pressure
soared and she commented that after the
recent deaths of Jane Russell and Liz
Taylor she believed she would be next.

It was all in fun as San Francisco
Opera Adler Fellow Baritone Ao Li
sang arias and flirted with Shanghai
Pearl, the Burlesque Princess of Seattle,
at Teatro Zinzanni’s Celebrating
German soldiers in some comic book
WWI. (When shot, they hiss and deflate
like balloons.)
The question naturally arises: Just
what kind of gyrations is Babydoll doing
to effect such awe and conjure such
imaginary garbage? Is it like Beyonce’s
“Single Ladies” dance? Because that
was pretty powerful.
No, instead, it’s merely a lazy tech-
nique for Snyder to reduce his already
exceptionally thin story to its lowest
plane. Why shoot for meaningfulness or
subtlety when a narrative can — with the
lamest of ploys — simply be turned into
a bloody video game level?
One feels for the talented actors swept
into such hokum. Playing the protective
one of the bunch, Cornish is still strik-
ing, even having dropped from the shin-
ing poetry of “Bright Star” to the near
illiteracy of “Sucker Punch.” Jon Hamm
was also somehow convinced to join,

tious lobotomy surgeon. That Browning,

off the streets of New York’s Lower East
Side, propelling him to college.
Nonprofits like that, he said, provide
social justice not provided by private
industry because it doesn’t fit their mar-
ketplace.
Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel point-
ed to a decade of nonprofit experience
and 34 years as a community volunteer
which she said gives her the right mind-
set to understand that their mission is
their bottom line.
Dave Pine, a member of the San
Mateo Union High School District
Board, has a connection with special
needs nonprofits because his son falls
into the category and Pine works with
Community Gatepath. A county supervi-
sor has to expand the relationship with
all nonprofits and become an advocate
because “we’re going to have less
money, no question.”
The insights came at a candidate’s
forum held by Thrive — the Alliance of
San Mateo County Nonprofits. Two
other candidates, Michael Stogner and
Demetrios Nikas, did not respond to an
inquiry by Thrive to attend.
All six are vying for the District One
seat left vacant by the election of former
officeholder Mark Church to the position
of chief elections chief and assessor-
county clerk-recorder.
An all-mail ballot May 3 for voters
countywide will determine who repre-
sents the district which includes West
San Mateo, Hillsborough, Burlingame,
Millbrae, San Bruno, part of South San
Francisco and the unincorporated areas
of Burlingame Hills,
Highlands/Baywood Park and San
Francisco International Airport.
Although the Thrive forum had a non-
profit leaning, the four candidates were
also thrown questions about the budget
— how to cut, how to generate money

The remaining candidate, Richard
Holober, president of the San Mateo
County Community College Board, may
have returned his forms by yesterday’s
deadline but it was not yet processed.
The six are vying for the District One
seat left vacant by Mark Church who
moved to chief elections officer and
assessor-county clerk-recorder. The May
3 ballot is only by mail, making the win-
dow to get the word out and raise money
even more narrow.
Between Jan. 1 and March 19, Papan
raised $43,379 without loans or non-
monetary contributions. Coupled with
$54,218.81 in previous donations and
$28,848.84 in expenses, Papan ended
the disclosure period with a $68,748.97
cash balance.
Nagel raised $34,500.50 in the same
period and received $537.50 in non-
monetary contributions. Coupled with
a previous cash balance of $104,88.90,
which included a $75,000 loan to her-
self, and expenses of $61,449.60,

PG&E

PG&E reviewed more than 1.25 million
documents related to its pipelines but
acknowledged it is still missing crucial
paperwork.
The utility now has until Aug. 31 to
comply with the order or face an addi-
tional $3 million fine, said PG&E
spokesman Joe Molica.
The fines will go directly into the
state’s general fund.
But Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, blasted yesterday’s deal
Richard Holober Gina Papan
Terry Nagel Dave Pine
Demetrios Nikas Michael Stogner
and whether to back state tax extensions.
Holober asked attendees to look at his
community college board’s record of
cutting approximately 20 percent with-
out furloughs and layoffs. Instead, he
said, he and fellow trustees made diffi-
cult cuts to programs that were desired
but didn’t represent the core values of a
community college.
Nagel endorses the idea of priority
budgeting in which the county budget is
constructed holistically rather than ask-
ing individual departments to lop off a
set amount across the board. The Board
of Supervisors rejected the idea last fall,
which Nagel said leaves them conduct-
ing “business as usual, only less of it.”
Pine’s number one priority is children
balance of $78,541.52.
Pine raised $151,401 this period — of
which $100,000 was from himself —
and spent $62,885.80. Added to his
beginning balance of $112,679.37 —
which included a $100,000 loan to him-
self — he ended the period with
$204,209.11.
Papan’s contributions include $500
each from Sprinkler Fitters &
Apprentices Local 483 of Hayward and
the Drive Committee; $250 each from
former San Bruno mayor Larry
Franzella, the Don Horsley for
Supervisor campaign, and Judge Gerald
Buchwald; $100 from San Mateo
Councilman John Lee; $100 from Half
Moon Bay Mayor Naomi Patridge; and
$200 from the San Mateo Labor
Council.
Donations in the amounts of $1,000
each came from the San Mateo Building
Trades Joint Council, the County
Firefighters Local 2400, the Greg Munks
for Sheriff campaign, the California
Real Estate PAC, Operating Engineers
Local 3, Fiona Ma for Senate 2014 cam-
paign, the Hayward Firefighters PAC
and the Mike Thompson for Congress
campaign.
Nagel’s contributions included $200
each from fellow Councilman Michael
between CPUC and PG&E.
“I’m troubled by the Public Utilities
Commission’s backroom deal to limit
PG&E’s fine to as little as $3 million for
failing to produce natural gas pipeline
records more than six months after the
tragic explosion in San Bruno,” Hill said
in a prepared statement.
PG&E has orders to determine safe
operating pressures for 1,800 miles of
high-risk gas transmission pipelines that
run underground throughout the state.
Yesterday, PG&E provided state regu-
lators with a detailed schedule of how it
plans to determine the maximum allow-
able operating pressure on the pipes.
“We intend to validate the MAOP on
the entire system,” Molica said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
and youth and Papan said the county
needs to be more efficient. The county’s
real estate portfolio includes unutilized
buildings and lease contracts that cost
$200,000 to $600,000 per month.
“That’s a good place we can start cut-
ting,” she said, adding that the goal is to
“do it without hurting the people we
need to serve.”
Nagel would much rather raise rev-
enue than taxes, although she does sup-
port the state tax extensions proposed by
the governor.
“I really think we have been taxed to
death already,” she said.
She proposed recruiting more business
to the county, imposing a business
license tax on the unincorporated area
and improving account collection at San
Mateo Medical Center.
Holober also mentioned the low rate
of bill collection at the county hospital.
“The county leaves a lot of money on
the table,” he said, adding that the coun-
ty could also benefit from partnerships
and better utilization of parks and the
San Mateo County Event Center.
The ideas were similar to those
expressed by the others. Papan said the
county hasn’t reached its potential yet
with partnerships and Pine highlighted
the Event Center alone with green tech-
nology and job creation based on his
experience in Silicon Valley.
But by 2012, voters will likely be
asked if they want another tax or more
cuts, he said.
“We’re not honest if we say we can do
it all with efficiencies,” he said.
Holober agreed with Nagel’s assess-
ment of residents being overtaxed but
supports the state extensions if they are
amended to include a 1 percent sur-
charge for the top 1 percent of income
earners in California.
Pine and Papan are also behind the
state extensions. Local governments are
already in dire straits and will be even
more so if voters don’t agree, Papan
said.
Brownrigg and former police chief Jack
Van Etten; $100 each from former
Probation Department chief Loren
Buddress, former Redwood City city
manager Ed Everett, retired treasurer-tax
collector Lee Buffington and former
Palo Alto councilwoman Yoriko
Kishimoto; $250 each from Enterprise
Rent-A-Car, Don Horsley for Supervisor
campaign; $750 from former deputy
coroner Tom Marriscolo; and $500 from
former Burlingame police chief Gary
Missel.
Pine’s current monetary donations
include $300 from Dave Mandelkern, a
trustee with the San Mateo County
Community College District; $1,000
from the San Mateo Building Trades
PAC; $200 each from the San Mateo
Labor Council and Redwood City
School District trustee Alisa MacAvoy;
$500 from Pete’s Harbor owner Paula
Uccelli; $100 from San Mateo County
Harbor Commissioner James Tucker;
and $250 from Burlingame
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock.
Pine also gave himself $100,000 on
March 19 which is listed as a contribu-
tion instead of a loan.
During the last disclosure period, from
July 1 and Dec. 31. Holober had $18,553
including a $900 loan to himself.
PG&E will face a evidentiary hearing
Monday for failing to produce the docu-
ments by March 15.
Hill said the CPUC should have wait-
ed until Monday’s hearing before decid-
ing the level of fines.
“The PUC’s decision looks to be pre-
mature — especially when records
remain unavailable for hundreds of
miles of pipeline that could ignite anoth-
er explosion. The PUC should wait until
the end of the administrative process
before agreeing to a fine amount,” Hill
wrote in the statement.
Hill wants PG&E officials to testify
under oath regarding their inability to
provide the “essential records necessary
to determine pipeline pressure.”

Certain impediments and/or restrictions that have
dogged your steps are likely to be alleviated in the
next year. Recognize when they are gone, so you’ll
know when you are free to do what you want.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although the wekend
is upon you and a lot of fun things are in the making,
keep your priorities in order, or some of your duties
may keep you working longer than necessary.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Think twice about vol-
unteering to manage a job for another, because even
though your intentions are good, some unknown
quantities could gum up the works.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When negotiating a
matter of significance, be as forthright as possible. If
you think skirting the truth is a shrewd move, you are
likely to end up tripping over your own feet.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Sticking to proven,
tested methods is likely to be far more productive
than experimenting with something new. Don’t try to
change the plan in the middle of the game.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Things aren’t likely to work
out too well if you attempt to use your social contacts
for personal gain. Trying to mix business and plea-
