Park Jung-bum, the 36-year-old direc-
tor of “The Journals of Musan,” is part
of a young generation of filmmakers
inspired by their plight.
The movie, whose honors include a
feature film award at this year’s film fes-
tival in Rotterdam, is loosely based on
the experience of his late friend, Chun
The director, a shy and thoughtful man
who also plays the leading role,

his North Korean friends.
“My big question was this: They came
here to be happy, but if they have to stay
in the bottom class in South Korea, was
there any meaning for them to come all
the way here?” he said in an interview.
North Korean characters have long
featured in movies here — often as the
evil enemy — but a growing population
of escapees living on the margin has
given filmmakers, and South Koreans
generally, a new view of their brethren
from the North.
The number of North Koreans in the
South has grown from about 1,000 in
1998 to 20,000 today, mostly as a result
of a famine in the 1990s that killed some
1 million people. The journey often
takes years, with escapees sneaking into
China and then making their way to
Southeast Asia en route to the South.
Film critic Park Yoo-hee, a research
professor at Korea University, described
movies such as “The Journals of Musan”
as a turning point in how filmmakers
distant characters South Koreans fear or
sympathize with. They are part of the
reality in South Korea. And these films
show such changing perceptions and
attitudes,” she said.
“The Journals of Musan” is shot with
a shaky hand-held camera against a
blighted background, often circling an
empty, unpaved lot near the fictional
Chun’s apartment, which is slated for
demolition.
Park said the real Chun’s life was full
of difficulty. He had no marketable
skills. He initially couldn’t read English
signs, which are common in South
Korea. He couldn’t keep up at school,
and Park wrote practically all of Chun’s
papers at the university they attended.
He couldn’t afford equipment to play ice
hockey.
“He didn’t have tools to compete with
us here in South Korea,” Park said.
Although the two Koreas share thou-
sands of years of common history, they
have grown sharply apart — politically,
economically, culturally and even lin-
guistically — since they split into two
nations more than six decades ago.

Peninsula building explosion after WWII
T
he end of World War II was the start
of the greatest building spree on the
Peninsula and gave the present shape
and form to the cities on the Peninsula. A
need for housing and businesses required the
cheap land and capital from outside sources
and both were available at this time to do the
massive construction projects. Cities rushed
to annex land that extended their boundaries
to the far western hills, area that had not been
usable up to this time except for cattle graz-
ing, flower growing and vegetable farming.
Because of the rugged terrain, various dairies
had used the land only for their cattle since
the 1700s. In the early 1900s, the vegetable
farmers and flower growers began using more
and more of the land as the dairy industry
moved to the coast and elsewhere. Almost all

Bullis recalled for the crowd, a school meet-

attend culinary school. He had even worked
out a financial plan.
This was a surprise to Sue Bullis.

with ice at a church picnic, Bullis broke his
ankle. The bones healed but pain remained.
Throughout middle school, Bullis used a
three-wheel scooter. He even used it during
his eighth grade graduation.
Pain made high school difficult at times and
he missed school often during his earlier
years, Sue Bullis said. When he discovered a
love for cooking that changed.
“By his senior year he was known by walk-
ing across campus with his cane and playing
golf,” she said.
Sue Bullis wanted everyone to remember
her son for his courage, commitment, persist-

Mary Rustia, Bullis’ biotech teacher, had

changed over four years from someone trying
to be invisible to a person wanting to share.
The last lab Bullis participated in for Rustia’s

favorite cheese to share. Bullis had quite a
spread, she recalled.
Jan Tuttle, Bullis’ culinary teacher, shared
how the teen loved picking fresh produce and
herbs from the school’s garden to create dish-

“He was in his element. He came alive,”
Tuttle said about Bullis when it came to cook-
ing.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, said
the tree outside the culinary classroom will
grow for hundreds of years. It’s thick bark and
deep roots will provide great shelter for stu-

“[William] gave his all, he tried and perse-

NEW YORK — Republican Tim

kicked off his re-election bid with a

All the campaigns have a robust
Facebook presence, using the site to

host online discussions. In the latest
indication of the site’s reach and
influence, Obama plans to visit
Facebook headquarters in California
this coming Wednesday for a live
chat with company founder Mark
Zuckerberg and to take questions
from users who submit questions on
the site.
Candidates have embraced Twitter
with an intensity that rivals pop star
Justin Bieber’s. Twitter was the
Republican hopefuls’ platform of
choice last Wednesday, moments
after Obama gave a budget speech
calling for some tax increases and
decrying GOP proposals to cut
Medicare.
“President Obama doesn’t get it.

Gov. Haley Barbour tweeted.
“The president’s plan will kill jobs

Treasury secretary confident Congress will raise debt limit

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner says
Republican leaders have privately
assured the Obama administration
that Congress will raise the govern-
ment’s borrowing limit in time to
prevent an unprecedented default on
the nation’s debt.
But a top Republican quickly
pushed back Sunday and said there
was no guarantee the GOP would
agree to increase the $14.3 trillion
debt ceiling without further controls
on federal spending.
Geithner told ABC’s “This Week”
and NBC’s “Meet the Press” that
Republicans told President Barack
Obama in a White House meeting
last Wednesday that they will go
along with a higher limit.
“I want to make it perfectly clear
that Congress will raise the debt
ceiling,” Geithner said in the inter-
views taped Saturday and aired
Sunday.
He said the leaders told Obama
that they couldn’t play around with
the government’s credit rating.
“They recognize it, and they told the
president that on Wednesday in the
White House,” Geithner said.
But Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman
of the House Budget Committee,
said that while it was true nobody
wants the country to default, it’s
essential to address future borrow-
ing at the same time.
“We want cuts in spending accom-
panying a raising of the debt ceiling.
And that is what we have been
telling the White House,” Ryan said
on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Ryan, R-Wis., wrote the 2012
budget blueprint that the House
passed on Friday. The plan for the
budget year that begins Oct. 1 cuts
$6.2 trillion over the coming decade
and transforms Medicare for people
under 55.
The government is projected to
reach its borrowing limit no later
than May 16 and risks going into an
unprecedented default.

Job cuts for poor seniors
could up homelessness
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — For $700 a month, 65-
year-old Esmeralda Calderon cares for chil-
dren part-time through a federal community
service job that’s in jeopardy because of cuts
to the proposed federal budget for 2011. It’s
the only source of income for a woman who
has no one to rely on and lives alone in public
housing in a gritty Hollywood neighborhood.
Under the Department of Labor’s Senior
Community Service Employment Program,
more than 75,000 elderly Americans living in
poverty in all 50 states earn their keep by the
slimmest of margins. To qualify, participants
must be over 55 and earning less than 125
percent of the federal poverty level —
$13,600 a year.
In the budget bill signed Friday by
President Barack Obama, the program was
STATE/LOCAL
slashed by 45 percent, from $825 million to
$450 million a year. Advocates say it could
mean as many as 58,000 fewer jobs if states
or national groups are forced to discontinue
the program because of the reductions.
For 20 hours a week, Calderon bounces
toddlers on her hip, feeds them cereal and
cleans up after the at-risk children at down-
town Los Angeles’ Para Los Ninos, a child-
care and educational facility.
“It’s harder for people my age who are on
our own,” said Calderon, in Spanish, clutch-
ing the green Starbucks apron she wears to
clean. “Unfortunately, other employment
opportunities are very hard to find for people
my age.”
In a bad economy where jobs are hard to
come by for young, qualified workers, seniors
face serious problems finding gainful employ-
ment.

ronmental problems as far as wastes of

The cities became very aggressive for taxation

The western hills of Millbrae had been
assaulted for its dirt beginning in 1944 when
the Macco Pit was created in what is now
Millbrae Meadows. The 40 million cubic
yards of dirt that was removed from this area
was needed for the expansion of the San
Francisco airport and construction of a new
Bayshore. Hauling of dirt lasted until the early
1950s. Shortly afterwards, housing construc-
tion was begun by the Stoneson Corp. and
Millbrae Meadows was developed. The
Millbrae Highlands development had already
pushed west of the Junipero Serra Freeway

Fueled by this rapid increase a population,
the San Francisco airport became a prime
employer in the county. Parallel to this was the
development of the business parks such as
developed in eastern South San Francisco and
this replaced the steel and cattle market that
had been the mainstay since the 1800s. During
the late 1940s, the electronics industry had
become very active on the Peninsula and
EiMac in San Bruno fueled the economy with
its booming business. The electronic industry
moved south as land became available around
San Carlos. The shallow water of the Bay that
had been utilized for oyster growing by the
Morgan Oyster Company became a temporary
potential for more developed land as large
companies wanted to fill in the Bay for hous-
ing near the airport. The use of these tidelands
for housing was halted by people concerned
that the Bay would be filled in at the expense
of much-needed open space. The shallowest
tidelands to the north of Burlingame and San
Mateo were assaulted by a company that
began to develop land for commercial devel-
opment. The undeveloped San Bruno
Mountain land offered prospective sites for
numerous housing and land-fill projects, but
luckily clearer heads prevailed and the moun-
tain was preserved as open space.
In 1940, San Mateo County (with 447

Storm unleashes fury on North Carolina

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASKEWVILLE, N.C. — A tor-
nado-spewing storm system that
killed at least 45 people across half
the country unleashed its worst fury
on North Carolina, where homes
broke apart, trees snapped and live-
stock were swept into the air.
Residents in the capital city and
rural hamlets alike on Sunday
mourned the dead, marveled at their
own survival and began to clean up
devastated neighborhoods.
Observers reported more than 60
tornadoes across North Carolina on
Saturday, but most of the state’s 21
confirmed deaths occurred in two
rural counties. A thunderstorm
spawned a tornado that killed four
people in southeastern Bladen
County, then kept dropping torna-
does as it hopscotched more than
150 miles, eventually moving into

Bertie County and killing 11 more.
Heavy winds swept some homes
from their foundations, demolished
others and flipped cars on tiny rural
roads between Askewville and
Colerain, Bertie County Manager
Zee Lamb said. At least three of
those who died were from the same
family, he said.
The winds ripped to shreds the
doublewide mobile home in
Askewville where Justin Dunlow
had sought shelter for his 3-year-old
daughter, 5-year-old son and him-
self. The 23-year-old roofer, whose
own mobile home nearby also was
destroyed, lay on both children as
the storm did its worst.
“I just started praying, and the
wall fell on top of us and that’s what
kept us there,“ he said.
“I can replace the house, but I
can’t replace my babies. And that’s
what I thought about. I’m alive. My
babies are alive.“
In Bladen County, Milton McKoy
had thought his mobile home in
Ammon was out of the storm’s path
before he saw a tornado over the
tops of pine trees, lifting pigs and
other animals into the sky.
“It looked just like ’The Wizard
of Oz,’” said his wife, Audrey.
The couple took shelter in the
laundry room as the tornado
snapped trees and carried off sever-
al homes in the neighborhood.
When they stepped out, it took them
a moment to figure out the twister
had turned their own home around,
leaving them in the backyard.
The violent weather began
Thursday in Oklahoma, where two
people died, before cutting across
the Deep South on Friday and hit-
ting North Carolina and Virginia on
Saturday. Authorities said seven
people died in Arkansas; seven in
Alabama; seven in Virginia; and one
in Mississippi.
More than 240 tornadoes were
reported from the storm system,
including 62 in North Carolina, but
the National Weather Service’s final
numbers could be lower because
some tornadoes may have been
reported more than once.
Saturday was North Carolina’s
deadliest day for tornadoes since
1984, when 22 twisters killed 42
people and injured hundreds. The
state emergency management
agency said it had reports of 23
fatalities from Saturday’s storms,
but local officials confirmed only 21
deaths with The Associated Press.
The conditions that allowed for
the storm occur on the Great Plains
maybe twice a year, but they almost
never happen in North Carolina,
according to Scott Sharp, a weather
service meteorologist in Raleigh.

New climate change case

headed to Supreme Court
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama administra-
tion and environmental interests generally
agree that global warming is a threat that must
be dealt with.
But they’re on opposite sides of a Supreme
Court case over the ability of states and
groups such as the Audubon Society that want
to sue large electric utilities and force power
plants in 20 states to cut their emissions.
The administration is siding with American
Electric Power Co. and three other companies
in urging the high court to throw out the law-
suit on grounds the Environmental Protection
Agency, not a federal court, is the proper
authority to make rules about climate change.
The justices will hear arguments in the case
Tuesday.
The court is taking up a climate change case
for the second time in four years. In 2007, the
court declared that carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the
Clean Air Act. By a 5-4 vote, the justices said
the EPA has the authority to regulate those
emissions from new cars and trucks under that
landmark law. The same reasoning applies to
power plants.

Mass protests in Yemen
over leader’s women remark
SANAA, Yemen — Security forces fired on
anti-government protesters in Yemen’s capital
Sunday as hundreds of thousands of marchers
— including many women — packed cities
around the country to denounce the president
and remarks he made against women taking
part in rallies demanding his ouster.
The massive turnout suggests opposition
forces have been able to tap into fresh outrage
against Ali Abdullah Saleh after his comments
Friday that mingling of men and women at
protests violated Islamic law.
Meanwhile, representatives from Yemen’s
opposition held talks with regional mediators
in the Saudi capital Sunday to discuss a pro-
posal by the six-nation Gulf Cooperation
Council for ending the unrest in which Saleh
would transfer power to his deputy.
The Yemeni opposition says nothing short
of Saleh’s immediate departure would end the
unrest in the impoverished Gulf nation at the
southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

FAA gives tired controllers an extra hour to rest

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The government said
Sunday it is giving air traffic controllers an
extra hour off between shifts so they don’t
doze off at work, a problem that stretches
back decades. But officials rejected the reme-
dy that sleep experts say would make a real
difference: on-the-job napping.
“On my watch, controllers will not be paid
to take naps. We’re not going to allow that,”
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said.
That’s exactly the opposite of what scientists and
the Federal Aviation Administration’s own fatigue
working group say is needed after five cases dis-
closed since late March of sleeping controllers. The
latest one occurred just before 5 a.m. Saturday at a
busy regional radar facility that handles high alti-
tude air traffic for much of Florida, portions of the
Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Several other countries, including Germany
and Japan, permit controllers to take sleeping
breaks and they provide quiet rooms with cots
for that purpose.

Fighting intensifies in Libya
By Ben Hubbard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AJDABIYA, Libya — Holding out under a
rain of shelling and sniper fire, Libyan rebels
fought Moammar Gadhafi’s forces Sunday in
close-quarters battles in the city center of
Misrata, the last major rebel foothold in west-
ern Libya. Seventeen people were killed, an
NGO worker and an opposition activist said.
Government troops have been laying siege
to the city on Libya’s Mediterranean coast for
weeks, prompting repeated international
warnings of a dire humanitarian situation as
well as calls for NATO forces to intensify
airstrikes on Gadhafi’s forces there.
On Sunday, government troops, who have
pushed into the city center from the outskirts
in recent days, pounded Misrata with mortar
rounds and rocket-propelled grenades, said
resident Abdel-Salam, who only provided his
given name for fear of retribution.
WORLD
“Residents have become
so accustomed to the
sound of mortars and mis-
siles,” he said. “Snipers
are still on the roofs of tall
buildings shooting at any-
thing that moves in the
city center.”
Rebels fought govern-
ment forces back from an
Moammar
area around a central pro-
Gadhafi
duce market, regaining a
small sliver of territory, said Rida al-
Montasser, a local activist reached by Skype.
He said a hospital report that he received
from a doctor, showed 17 people, including
rebels, were killed and 74 others were injured.
He said Gadhafi forces had fired at the city’s
hospital Sunday.
A worker for a foreign NGO who visited the
hospital Sunday also said 17 bodies were
brought in, including that of a girl shot in the
head. Other children who had been shot were
among the wounded, he said, speaking on
condition of anonymity because he feared for
his safety.
Explosions thundered late into the night, al-
Montasser said.
The NATO-led air campaign authorized by
the U.N. to protect civilians and enforce a no-
fly zone has failed to stop government shelling
that, according to residents and witnesses, has
hit Misrata’s hospital, the port and residential
areas.
The international airstrikes have kept rebels
from being defeated on the battlefield by the
better trained and equipped government
forces, but it still has not been enough to turn
the tide in the war. In the eastern half of Libya,
rebels in control of most of that part of the
country since the uprising began on Feb. 15
have been unable to advance westward toward
the capital.

Day of Afghan attacks kills
8 NATO service members
KABUL, Afghanistan — Insurgent attacks
in Afghanistan killed eight NATO service
members in one of the deadliest days for the
military coalition this year, signaling the start
of what many fear will be a particularly vio-
lent fighting season as President Barack
Obama looks to start drawing down troops,
authorities said Sunday.
The spate of attacks happened Saturday,
when two separate bomb blasts in the south
killed three soldiers and a suicide bombing by
a Taliban sleeper agent killed five NATO serv-
ice members at a U.S. base in the east.
Fighting usually increases in Afghanistan as
the weather warms and insurgents climb back
over the mountainous border with Pakistan.
This year, NATO has pushed further into
Taliban strongholds in the south and has said
the goal is to hold these areas so that militants
cannot re-establish their dominance.

Dimitre nailed it
Letters to the editor
Editor,
Dorothy Dimitre nailed it again
in her opinion column “Political
bullies” published in the April 11
edition of the Daily Journal.
I couldn’t agree more passionate-
ly with her analysis of the current
political stalemate and her assess-
ment of the extreme selfishness,
hypocrisy and malice that has poi-
soned our society, primarily by
Republicans who refer to them-
selves as patriots driven by “fami-
ly values.”
What really gets me is the wide-
spread ignorance of the most basic
economic factors and how a society
actually works. The right-wing vot-
ers are so blinded by hate that they
don’t understand what’s in their
own best interests, and what’s good
for the country as a whole. They
have been misinformed, manipulat-
ed and duped into working, talking
and voting against themselves and
for those already extremely well
off. Our country was never meant
to be an oligarchy, set up for the
benefit of the few. The preamble to
the Constitution begins with “We
the People of the United States, in
order to form a more perfect Union
... .” Whether we call our nation a
democracy or a republic, the fact
remains that the union was formed
for all, for the benefit of all and not
just for a select few.
The problems we are faced with
were essentially caused by
Republicans, the same group of
people who now are doing their
best to prevent our duly elected
president from getting us back on
track again after eight years of mis-
management, empty slogans, lies
and false promises that wrecked the
economy and ruined our standing
in the world. Instead, their main
goal is to secure more for those
who already have enough, at the
expense of those who don’t have
what is required for a decent
livelihood. What kind of value sys-
tem is that? Neither public praying,
nor frequent church attendance can
justify such obscene immorality.

Head-shaking column
Editor,
I could only shake my head at the
hypocrisy Dorothy Dimitre exhibit-
ed in her latest column. Although
she titles her April 11 tirade
“Political bullies,” Dimitre spends
nine paragraphs hurling insults at
Republicans and conservatives. She
begins by attempting to link a
Lyndon LaRouche follower with
Republicans who supposedly want
to “destroy Obama.”

Of course, Dimitre blames
California’s current woes on the
GOP, since the Republicans in the
state Legislature don’t agree with
her plan for curing California’s
deficit: Tax more and spend more.
Not surprisingly, Dorothy conve-
niently forgets to mention that it’s
been the Democrat majority in the
state Legislature that has taxed and
spent our state into bankruptcy.
While Dimitre insists we should be
spending even more money taking
care of our citizens’ every need,
again she has an apparent “senior
moment,” forgetting the many bil-
lions spent on illegal aliens and
outrageous pensions for public
workers in California, to name just
two examples of mostly Democrat-
inspired fiscal corruption and
waste.
Dorothy even uses that tried-and-
true trick of blowing dust off the
‘ol Bible and cherry-picking
Scripture to support her idealistic
tax-and-spend agenda, while
Californians’ taxes are already bur-
densome.
Liberals like Ms. Dimitre should
finally grow up and live in the real
world, a world where governments
— like families — need realistic
budgets and are required to live
within their means. A world where
government doesn’t turn able adults
into dependent children, and real-
izes its need to become smaller, tax
less and allow for more self-suffi-
ciency.

Respectful debate continued
Editor,
In his April 13 letter “Respectful
debate needed,” Richard Breaux
threw around a bunch of federal
income tax numbers without put-
ting them in context. He notes that
1 percent of wage-earners pay 37
percent of the federal incomes taxes
while the bottom 50 percent pays
about 3 percent. Is he trying to say
someone is not paying a “fair
share?”
To be in the top 1 percent you
have to earn over $380,000 (adjust-
ed income) while the bottom 50
percent earn less than $33,000. In
other words, the top 1 percent earn
over 10 times as much money as
the average taxpayer. When you
consider that the bottom 14 percent
are in poverty — they don’t pay
income tax — that 37 percent to 3
percent comparison is in the ball-
park for “fair.”
But the top 10 percent owns 80
percent to 90 percent of stocks,
bonds, trust funds and business
equity, and more than 75 percent of
non-home real estate. When you

consider that most of this is taxed
in the form of capital gains — a
lower rate (15 percent) than the
ordinary rate (35 percent) — you
begin to see the true disparity. This
becomes crystal clear when you see
that the top 1 percent pays less
taxes as a percentage of income
than the next 9 percent simply
because they have more capital
gains income.
If we want to make the tax sys-
tem more “fair,” the first thing we
should do is eliminate the capital
gains tax rate and treat all income
as income.
So Breaux is going down the
wrong path when he says, “The real
debate is how to pay for ... things:
More taxes or reduced spending.”
The real question is, why do the
wealthy not pay their fair share?

Measure A’s ‘Catch 22’
Editor,
I have read the recent letter writ-
ten by Darwin Patnode, “San
Carlos school measure: Grade A or
F,”concerning the various expendi-
tures made by the district during
2010 relating to salary and benefits.
I understand his point of view but
in all honesty you can’t “lay this”
on the backs of teachers. Many of
these instructors hold master’s
degrees in various subject areas.
These individuals are entitled to
make a reasonable wage for two
basic reasons: They educate your
kids and they are responsible for
the safety and well-being of the
kids during the class day.
Positions such as delivery driv-
ers, electricians and plumbers earn
substantially more income but do
not have the responsibilities of a K-
8 instructor. Many employees
receive longevity increases; many
of these teachers have been teach-
ing for over 30 years and should be
able to earn “marginal stipends” for
their years of dedicated service to
our kids. I agree that districts need
to be reorganized and centralized.
Having a single school district in
each city is absurd during these
times. Actions should have been
taken years to correct this matter.
This is where the real money sav-
ings could be captured. Measure
A creates a “Catch 22” decision for
all of us. If we approve it, things
could be “business as usual” If we
disapprove, it, Murphy’s Law will
prevail; the wrong things will get
cut and the kids will end up being
the “big losers.”

Supervisor
campaign
heats ups
T
wo weeks to go before mail only ballots for the Board of
Supervisors race are due. Ballots must be mailed before Tuesday,
May 3. As we get closer to the finish expect more campaign liter-
ature, more signs and more calls.
To date, things have been relatively calm considering this is a competi-
tive race with six candidates – four elected officials and two less well-
known members of the community. The candidates are: Richard Holober,
San Mateo County Community College Board president; Terry Nagel,
mayor of Burlingame; Gina Papan, member of Millbrae City Council;
Dave Pine, member of San Mateo Union High School District Board;
Michael Stogner, a victim’s advocate; and Demetrios Nikas, a resident of
the unincorporated area of the county. Last week’s column,” Who’s
Going to Win,” Daily Journal, Monday,
April 11, did elicit a flurry of emails and
comments. Why didn’t I come out and
name my preference? Why aren’t I
throwing a little bit of dirt where it is
needed?
Of most concern was the hit piece
against Gina Papan sent out by the
California Nurses Association (CNA) on
behalf of Richard Holober. The nurses
association managed to make life diffi-
cult for former governor Arnold
Schwarzennegger and for unsuccessful
gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman,
but CNA’s entry into this race may turn
out to do more harm than good for their
candidate. Several emails pointed out
that while Holober disavowed any knowledge of the mailing, he used to
be a lobbyist for the California Nurses Association and continues a close
relationship with them. The mailing was an independent expenditure paid
for by the CNA. The only restrictions on independent expenditures is that
they cannot be coordinated with the campaign of the candidate they sup-
port. The mailer accuses Papan of fiscal mismanagement in Millbrae city
government and while working for a now defunct state agency. Papan
emailed that these accusations are false.
She also pointed out that I neglected to mention that she had the sup-
port of state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, and
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco. A Burlingame resident
wrote that I failed to mention that Terry Nagel was mayor of Burlingame.
A fan of Michael Stogner asked “Why didn’t you mention the candidates
that HAVEN’T taken money from those that they might have to vote for
or against? Personally I’m looking for a candidate that meets those
requirements and I’m sure I’m not alone. You’re doing a disservice to
voters who are tired of all this money swaying our Supes vote. It takes
INTEGRITY to be free from contributions from those that expect some-
thing in return. Why no mention of Michael Stogner?” And so it went. I
have not listed all of the endorsements in each column I write. If I did,
there would not be room for much else. You can find the numerous city
council, school board and community endorsements on each candidates’
website.
But here are the major endorsements (city council and school board
members excluded) : U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer and CNA are endorsing
Holober; In addition to Yee and Ma, Papan has the endorsements of
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, SAMCAR (real estate political action com-
mittee) and several major union organizations in Sacramento and the
county; Terry Nagel is endorsed by County Treasurer Sandie Arnott, for-
mer treasurer Lee Buffington and the Daily Post; Dave Pine by U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, former sheriff and current Supervisor Don
Horsley, former supervisor and current Assemblyman Richard Gordon,
D-Menlo Park, and former assemblyman Gene Mullin. He has also been
endorsed by the San Mateo Daily Journal. San Mateo County firefighters
and sheriffs have paid for an independent expenditure mailer in support
of Papan.
***
Nagel is relying less on mail and more on a television spot on cable
and is counting on her grassroots supporters to spread the word and, simi-
lar to the other candidates, counting on the Internet, Facebook and
Twitter to spread her message. Signs and mail pieces may not be as
important in this election as in the past. Still the majority of the people
who vote are seniors and they like traditional ways. A candidate does not
need a majority of votes to win. Just more votes than the others.
***
Horsley’s endorsement of Pine is somewhat of a surprise since Pine
endorsed Horsley’s opponent, April Vargas, when Horsley ran for super-
visor last year. Most politicians find it difficult to support someone who
supported their opponent in a previous race. Good for Don for being an
exception.
***
If you are still undecided you may want to attend a candidates forum 7
p.m.-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, sponsored by the League of Women
Voters and co-sponsored by the San Mateo City Library. It will be held at
the Main Library, Oak Room, 55 W. Third Ave. in San Mateo.

NEW YORK — Could the financial
markets be heading for a June swoon?
The answer likely hinges on what hap-
pens after the Federal Reserve’s $600 bil-
lion effort to boost the economy expires.
Some investors warn that the end of the
program, known as QE2, will upend the
stock market and push other markets in
unexpected directions.
Under QE2, the Fed buys Treasurys
from investors who can then put the
money in stocks and other investments.
Economists call it quantitative easing,
and it is the second time the Fed has used
the tactic.
Since last August, when Fed Chairman
Ben Bernanke outlined the plan, the
Standard & Poor’s 500 index has gained
26 percent. Many also say it’s partly to
blame for rising commodity prices on
everything from silver to cotton.
“It’s the most important factor that
explains markets the way they are now,”
says David Rolley, co-head of global
fixed income at the fund manager
Loomis Sayles. “So the most important
question is what happens when QE2
stops?”
Ask investors and you get a variety of
opinions. Bill Gross, manager of the
world’s largest mutual fund at Pimco,
fears the worst. Take away the largest
buyer of Treasurys and, he says, their
prices are likely to fall and long-term
interest rates likely to rise. That could
hurt the economic recovery, and it’s one
reason his fund has dropped nearly all of
its Treasury debt.
Other investors and economists,
including those at Goldman Sachs,
believe QE2 will expire without a stir. A
top Fed official agrees.
“I wouldn’t expect to see a financial
market reaction to the termination of that
program,” said Janet Yellen, vice chair of
the Fed’s Board of Governors, in a
speech in New York. She said that
investors have already priced in the end
of QE2.
Skeptics point to last April when a Fed
program to buy mortgage bonds ended. A
report by David Rosenberg, chief econo-
mist at Gluskin Sheff, outlined what hap-
pened between April 23 and August 27:
• The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost
153 points, or 13 percent.
• The yield on the 10-year Treasury
sank from 3.84 percent to 2.66 percent,
as fears over a double-dip recession sent
investors into safer investments.
• Gold rose from $1,140 an ounce to
$1,235.
“Sure, there’s the possibility that the
economy can stand on its own two feet
now,” Rosenberg says. “But we haven’t
seen that happen yet.”

Super rich see federal taxes drop dramatically

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As millions of
procrastinators scramble to meet
Monday’s tax filing deadline, ponder
this: The super rich pay a lot less taxes
than they did a couple of decades ago,
and nearly half of U.S. households pay
no income taxes at all.
The Internal Revenue Service tracks
the tax returns with the 400 highest
adjusted gross incomes each year. The
average income on those returns in 2007,
the latest year for IRS data, was nearly
$345 million. Their average federal
income tax rate was 17 percent, down
from 26 percent in 1992.
Over the same period, the average fed-
eral income tax rate for all taxpayers
declined to 9.3 percent from 9.9 percent.
The top income tax rate is 35 percent,
so how can people who make so much
pay so little in taxes? The nation’s tax
laws are packed with breaks for people
at every income level. There are breaks
for having children, paying a mortgage,
going to college, and even for paying
other taxes. Plus, the top rate on capital
gains is only 15 percent.
There are so many breaks that 45 per-
cent of U.S. households will pay no fed-
eral income tax for 2010, according to
estimates by the Tax Policy Center, a
Washington think tank.
“It’s the fact that we are using the tax
code both to collect revenue, which is its
primary purpose, and to deliver these
spending benefits that we run into the situa-
tion where so many people are paying no
taxes,” said Roberton Williams, a senior fel-
low at the center, which generated the esti-
mate of people who pay no income taxes.

Gas in 6 states, nation’s capital tops $4 a gallon
WASHINGTON — Add New York to the growing list of
states where gas prices are topping $4 per gallon.
On Sunday, the Empire State became the sixth state to top $4
for the average price of a gallon of gas, joining Alaska,
California, Connecticut, Hawaii and Illinois, according to
AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge. The average price of gas also rose to
more than $4 per gallon in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
The next states to join the list could be Michigan, which has
gas for $3.95 per gallon on average, and Indiana, where the
average price is $3.94. Nevada, Washington and Wisconsin are
close behind.
Hawaii has the highest price in the U.S. at $4.48 per gallon.
Wyoming has the lowest, at $3.54.
The national average for gas has increased for 26 straight
days, and is now at $3.83 per gallon.

Teams in hunt for junior college playoffs

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The junior college baseball sea-
son is heading down the home
stretch with the local teams, College
of San Mateo, Cañada and Skyline,
playing crucial games to determine
their postseason futures.
The upcoming schedule can’t be
any bigger for the Trojans.
Hovering around third place in the
Coast Conference, Skyline knew
last week’s game were huge —
that’s because this week they have
matchups against the top teams in
the standings. So the Trojans
responded by awakening their bats
and beating their opponents last
week by a combined 28-6 - first a
12-2 win against Hartnell, followed
by a 16-4 beat down of Gavilan.
In Saturday’s win against
Gavilan, the Trojans broke the game
open with a seven-run sixth inning
and then a three-run seventh.
Matt Page singled to left to start
off the sixth, he’d advance to second
on a wild pitch. Back-to-back walks
loaded the bases for the Trojans,
Justin Meier cashed in for Skyline,
driving in Page with an infield sin-
gle. Bill Linney then drove in two
with another single, this for to right
field, thus knocking out Gavilan
starter Drew Davidson.
Grant Nelson doubled to left in
the same frame, knocking in Linney
and the Trojans got another extra
base hit by Nico Vargas, who
tripled.
By the time the dust had settled,
Skyline had themselves a seven-run
frame on only five hits.
They weren’t done there though.
Linney got another huge hit in the
seventh, doubling in a pair of runs
with a double as part of a three-run
inning. They’d add run number 16
in the eighth.
On the mound, Skyline got a solid
performance by Julian
Merryweather, who went six
innings, allowing nine hits and four
runs. His bullpen was even better.
Mike Olmstead, Chris Broadway
and Bob Hurst combined for three
innings scoreless work; Hurst was
the only one to allow a hit.
As mentioned, Skyline’s schedule
gets much harder to end the regular
season. If they are to secure a spot
in the postseason, they’ll have to get
past Cabrillo and Cañada, who are
one and two in the Coast
Conference-Pacific standings, and
Ohlone in the last game of the year.

Hornets were almost unbearably
eager for the playoffs to start.
Maybe that’s why New Orleans
got the drop on the defending
champs in a stunning series opener.
Paul had 33 points, 14 assists and
seven rebounds, flawlessly leading
the Hornets down the stretch of a
109-100 victory Sunday.
Carl Landry scored 17 points and
Jarrett Jack added 15 for the sev-

Los Angeles’ major size advantage
with cagey defense and a disciplined
offensive approach that led to just
three turnovers, tying an NBA play-

New Orleans also got a phenome-

decisive 8-0 run after the Lakers
trimmed their lead to four points.

PHOENIX — Stephen Drew was ready for

Drew drove in Justin Upton with one out in

Diamondbacks rallied to beat the San

“I kind of knew what he had,” Drew said. “I
was looking for something to get the ball up
and put a good swing on it.”
Giants reliever Dan Runzler had allowed
only one base runner over 2 1-3 innings
before walking Upton and Chris Young with
one out in the 12th. Lopez came on for
Runzler (1-2) and gave up Drew’s grounder

Grizzlies stun No.1 Spurs for first playoff win
By Paul J. Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — Zach Randolph raised
his fists above his head. The Memphis
Grizzlies carried the motto “Let’s Make
History” into the playoffs, and in a stunning
Game 1 upset, they had already done it.
Sixteen years after entering the NBA, the
Grizzlies finally have a postseason win.
Randolph had 25 points and 14 rebounds,
and Shane Battier hit a go-ahead 3-pointer
with 23.9 seconds left Sunday to give
Memphis a 101-98 victory over the top-seed-
ed San Antonio Spurs.
It’s the first playoff win ever for Memphis,
which had been 0-12 in three previous trips.
“It’s nice from an annoyance perspective to
have it out of the way, because I don’t have to
answer questions about being 0 and 13,”
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said.
Instead, all the questions are about the 61-
win Spurs being down 0-1.
Playing without All-Star guard Manu
Ginobili, who continued to rest his sprained
right elbow, San Antonio still had a chance to
send the game to overtime. Richard Jefferson
missed an open, straight-ahead 3-point look
as time expired, then bit down on his jersey
collar.
“I was wide open,” Jefferson said.
Randolph, who scored nine in the fourth

with all of his 255 pounds, walked past

to minimize the big men’s impact.

Serra alum perseveres wild one in Bakersfield

prevailing by a final score of 24-19.
Yes, 24-19. The game lasted 4

California League record for the

“That obviously had something to

anything like that again in baseball.”
With both teams combining for
seven errors, Karcich committed
two of them, including an errant

a three-run homer to center.
“There was no panic in us,” said

“Guys kept getting hits and we just
got a good momentum.”
Karcich is in his second full pro-

High-A San Jose currently touts
the latest high-profile pitching
prospect of the Giants organization

Wheeler was a 2009 first-round
draft pick out of East Paulding High
School in Dallas, Georgia.
Wheeler has not disappointed in
his first two starts of the season. The
right-hander paced San Jose to a 5-
2 win over Visalia Saturday,
improving his record to 2-0. He
worked 5 2/3 innings in his
Municipal Stadium debut, allowing
two runs on four hits, while striking
out eight against one walk.
“He was strong,” San Jose pitch-
ing coach Brian Cooper said. “He
had a pretty good feel for their hit-

When you do that, it’s pretty tough
for hitters.”
Wheeler is a three-pitch pitcher,

who throws a fastball, curveball,
and changeup. About 80 percent of
his pitches Saturday night were fast-
balls between 90-96 mph, according
to Cooper.
As seen on TV in last year’s 2010
All-Star Futures Game, Wheeler
features a dynamic sweeping three-
quarter arm angle. The Giants have
succeeded in developing their share
of pitchers who throw from uncon-
ventional arm angles, including
major-leaguers Jonathan Sanchez
and Madison Bumgarner. Perhaps
that is why Cooper’s description of
Wheeler’s delivery sounds so famil-
iar.
“I think he’s very smooth,”
Cooper said. “I think that’s part of
his advantage, because players
don’t expect [the ball] to get there as
fast as it does.”

Sharks try to rebound from Game 2 loss to Kings
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — The San Jose
Sharks spent the past three months
doing the little things — blocking
shots, battling for the puck along
the boards, relying on teamwork.
The result was a jump from 12th
place to second in the Western
Conference.
After being frustrated early in
Game 2 of their first-round playoff
series, the Sharks returned to the
bad habits that led to a six-game
losing streak and a rough first half
of the season.
The Sharks spent Sunday tying to
regroup from a 4-0 loss that evened
their series with the Kings at one
game apiece with the series shifting
to Los Angeles for the next two
games. They had an optional skate
and a film session that looked just as
bad as the game did the previous
night.
“I was actually hoping that when
I watched it again we could find a
few more positives as far as battles
and competitive situations, but we
didn’t find them,” coach Todd
McLellan said. “Sometimes when
you get humbled as bad as we got
humbled last night, it’s a lot more
effective than losing in overtime.
Hopefully the message resonates
here in the locker room today.”
McLellan’s message did appear to
hit home as most of the players who
made it to the locker room during
the media availability echoed a sim-
ilar tune of guys trying to do too
much as individuals instead of rely-
ing on their teammates.

and the power play is a great oppor-

a team plan and they have to be part
of it.”
San Jose started Game 2 with
good energy and got a power-play
chance midway through the first
period. They were unable to convert
with the man advantage, then com-
mitted a pair of undisciplined offen-

“It was excruciating,” he said. “It

from a one-game suspension for his

Los Angeles, which already is

managed just fine without Stoll for
one game.

Oregon State sweeps
In college ball, No. 9-ranked Oregon State
(27-7, 8-1) swept through Sunken Diamond,
taking three games from Stanford (16-12, 3-
6). Running into Oregon State’s formidable
starting rotation, the Cardinal did not get on
the scoreboard until Saturday in the seventh
inning. Stanford fell yesterday 6-4, after
falling 8-1 Saturday, and being shut out in a 1-
0 thriller Friday night.
Oregon State features a pair of standout jun-
ior arms in starters Sam Gaviglio and Josh
Osich. Gaviglio, a right-hander out of
Oregon’s Ashland High School – the same
school that produced former Stanford star and
current Baltimore Orioles ace Jeremy Guthrie
– is 7-1 with a 1.19 ERA through nine starts.
But the more dynamic prospect seems to be
Osich, a sturdy Idaho-born southpaw who
sports an undefeated 5-0 record with a 3.38
ERA.
“I think [Osich] had a bit of a command
issue. Otherwise he was really good,” Oregon
State manager Pat Casey said. “Going into the
fifth, he was lights out.”
Osich is one of the hardest throwing lefties
in the Pac-10. Saturday, he topped out at 95
mph with good command, despite issuing five
walks. What’s more impressive, this success
missed after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
And while there was more than a smattering
of orange-and-black around the horseshoe of
Sunken Diamond throughout the series, it was
mostly orange-and-black of a different color
than Bay Area baseball fans are accustomed.
Beavers fans showed up in full force to sup-
port the 2006 & 2007 National Champs, with
an estimated 200 fans making the trip from
Corvallis, Oregon.
“Isn’t that nice?” Casey said of his orange-
and-black followers. “It seems like Beaver
Nation shows up.”
D-I baseball wrap
With last week’s news that Cal baseball has
raised enough of the $10 million funds neces-
sary to save its program, the No. 16-ranked
Golden Bears (23-9, 9-3) rolled through
Washington with a three-game sweep of the
Huskies.
Former Serra standout Tony Renda was 5
for 12 in the series, including a three-hit,
three-RBI game Saturday. The sophomore
currently paces all Cal regulars with a .355
batting average, 49 hits, and 31 RBIs. Each of
Cal’s three starting pitchers – Erik Johnson,
Justin Jones, and Dixon Anderson – earned
wins, and now tout a combined record of 14-4
as a weekend rotation.
San Jose State (23-14, 3-5) lost three of four
games at New Mexico State (27-9, 5-3). The
Spartans were outscored 48-28 in the series,
including a 20-8 loss in yesterday’s series
finale.

O
ur seventh class of TAILS dogs,
with their inmate handlers, gradu-
ated with plenty of romp and cir-
cumstance last Friday and there was hardly
a set of dry eyes during the proceedings.
And, I’m talking about the inmates. TAILS
(Transitioning Animals Into Loving
Situations), a partnership between
PHS/SPCA and the Sheriff’s Office, pairs
marginally challenged dogs with inmates in
a minimum security facility. Our trainer
visits the facility each Friday to teach a
class and the inmates provide everything
else for the dogs during the eight-week pro-
gram: exercise, grooming, socialization and
homework lessons from class. Each time a
class graduates, the facility is ready for
another group of three or four dogs; there’s
never a shortage of dogs who can benefit
from this experience and usually no short-
age of men willing to make their time more
meaningful. The only downside: It’s nearly
impossible for us to find the dogs perma-
nent homes as good as the one they’ve had.
During their eight-week program, they have
constant attention and companionship from
not one but two inmate handlers, profes-
sional training and other dogs to play with
for hours every day in a huge exercise yard.
Not many adopters can put together that
sweet of a deal. Graduation is bittersweet.
If the dogs don’t have adopters lined-up,
they return to our shelter where they’re
given all the love and TLC we can provide,
but it doesn’t compare to TAILS. Foster
parents can provide a much-needed bridge:
a comfortable home where dogs can hone
skills learned in the joint. In return for a
small commitment — usually three to 10
weeks — foster parents become part of a
fantastic program being modeled by other
animal groups across the country. They’re
like graduate-school mentors. Many come
back for more. To take a TAILS dog into
your home, contact Maria Eguren at 340-
7022, ext. 306.

Film fans head for ‘Rio’
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Movie fans are going
to “Rio” in big numbers, but they’re not quite
screaming over the latest installment of a hor-
ror-comedy franchise.
The 20th Century Fox animated family flick
“Rio,” featuring the voices of Anne Hathaway
and Jesse Eisenberg, led the weekend box
office with a healthy $40 million debut,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was the best debut so far this year, topping
another animated comedy, “Rango,” by about
$2 million.
The slasher comedy “Scream 4,” released
by the Weinstein Co. banner Dimension
Films, opened at No. 2 with just $19.3 mil-
lion. That’s a fraction of the business for the
previous two sequels, which both debuted at
over $30 million more than a decade ago.
Business finally climbed for Hollywood,
which has been in a prolonged slide.
Revenues rose for only the second time since
last November, coming in at $134 million, up
12 percent compared to the same weekend last
year, when “Kick-Ass” led with $19.8 mil-
lion.
“I’m going to be so bold as to say this may
be the beginning of the turnaround,” said Paul “Rio”was the weekend’s top movie at the box office.

Cleanups around the city highlight the
need for change, Nagel said. There are a
lot of cigarette butts and also small

Burlingame is considering adopting
the county’s ordinance. Unlike the coun-
ty ordinance, which goes into effect July
1, Burlingame has yet to discuss a firm
timeline. The first step is getting input
from affected businesses.
Two information meetings are sched-
uled for next week to explain the ban,
how it would be implemented and pro-
vide clarity on the food containers which
would be affected. Dean Peterson, direc-
the county, will also be on hand to
answer questions. A story ran in the
chamber newsletter, information was
given to the two business improvement
districts, contact information was gath-
ered through business licenses and a
notice will be included in the upcoming
city e-newsletter, said Economic
Development Specialist Patricia Love.
Ross Bruce, president of the
Broadway Business Improvement
District, recently handed out fliers about
the upcoming meetings to businesses in
his area. While one owner appeared to
have concerns, Bruce said most were
open to the idea or were already using
recyclable products.
Based on a survey of four businesses
for the county Board of Supervisors,
staff estimated vendors primarily using
disposable food ware will spend $150 to
$400 annual to comply with the ordi-
ment of fire apparatus, emergency pre-
Council, a national trade association for
take-out food service packaging, dis-
agreed and estimated an increase of two
to three times the cost of food ware for
vendors.
Similar bans were previously passed
in Millbrae, Pacifica, South San
Francisco and San Bruno.

Grassilli, whose failed request to
Belmont for tweaking the JPA funding
formula set off the dissolution plans,
estimates possible savings for Belmont
and San Carlos at $1.036 million total
through a combination of labor cutting
compensation by at least 10 percent, Fire
Chief Doug Fry not retiring during the
extended partnership time, each city
contributed a fixed percentage of funds
and no major equipment purchases are
made.
Friday meeting
San Carlos Mayor Omar Ahmad and
Belmont Councilwoman Christine
Wozniak are scheduled to meet Friday,
April 22 with a retired judge for county-
sponsored mediation on the JPA.
The stand-alone model would begin
with a $6.2 million yearly cost followed
by $5.37 million in on-going expenses.
If the city opts for a hybrid model with
Redwood City — sharing management
and administration — the first year
would cost $4.1 million followed by
$3.93 million the following years. The
cost of aerial truck service would range
from $262,000 to $500,000 unless San
Carlos provides its own with a quint, a
smaller fire vehicle.
If instead the city opts for having
Redwood City provide all its service, a
number of existing BSCFD firefighters
are anticipated to be hired laterally for a
three-platoon, 56-hour work week out of
the two existing San Carlos stations plus
aerial truck service out of Fire Station 9
in Redwood City. The three-year, $5.9
million bid does not include upgrades or
repairs to San Carlos stations, replace-
paredness or a hazmat unit.
Aside from Grassilli’s plan, the 10-
year bid by private company Wackenhut
has been the least publicly vetted. The
proposal also came with a caveat
Councilman Andy Klein highlighted
after it submittal — a performance fee,
requiring the company to pay 6 percent
of the contract value if they don’t reach
established standards.
If the company does reach the goals,
the bonus will be split between it and the
employees.
The company also estimates being
able to set up the department in three to
five weeks.
Base proposal
The base proposal calls for two three-
person advanced life support engine
companies or quint companies which
Wackenhut said could lead to cost-sav-
ings in insurance premiums paid by
businesses and residents. Station 13
would also use one light-duty, non-trans-
port rescue unit for emergency medical
calls.
“We firmly feel that the use ... is the
best way to enhance response times,
save money and provide a higher level of
patient care,” the Wackenhut proposal
states.
The second option calls for light-duty
vehicles at both stations and a third
option calls for two four-person
advanced life support engine companies
and two light-duty vehicles.
Firefighters would work in two 72-
hour shifts, with each included seven or
nine personnel. Wackenhut will hire
BSCFD employees as long as they meet
criteria and certification established by
the city and company, according to its
report.
The company also said it is willing to
discuss provision of hazmat services and
establishment of a reserve firefighter
program.
The base proposal would cost the city
a little more than $4 million the first
year, including start-up costs, before
dropping to $3.8 million and ramping up
to $4.6 million by year 10. The more
extensive option begins at $4.6 million a
the final contract year.
Ed Hawkins, president of Firefighter
union Local 2400, has called the propos-
al a bad choice for San Carlos and poten-
tially a violation of laws that do not give
general law cities the right to contract
out to private companies.
Union attorney Duane W. Reno
echoed the sentiment in an April 7 letter
to City Manager Jeff Maltbie.
Reno contends general law cities can
only contract for “special services” in
specified areas with specially-trained
contractors which does not apply to fire.
A former member of the fire depart-
ment, however, called on his experience
there and currently in East Tennessee to
urge the City Council to strongly consid-
er Wackenhut.
“The local will state that response
times will suffer, the employees will not
be well-trained, fire loss will climb and
anything else they can think of to sup-
port the continuation of their job securi-
ty. That has never been proven,” wrote
Gary Schmitz in an email to Maltbie.
After serving the former joint fire
department and that of San Mateo,
Schmitz now serves on the personnel
committee for his Tennessee community
which uses a private company for fire
service.
Morale
Schmitz also tells officials that service
with Redwood City might harm employ-
ee morale by giving managers different
sets of administrative requirements to
abide by and leaving some workers
knowing they would be paid differently
if in a different station.
The City Council anticipates choosing
its fire provider at the April 25 meeting
after hearing proposal evaluations by
consulting firm TriData.
The San Carlos City Council special
meeting is 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 18 at
City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

race.
District vs.county
Often the needs of a district are the needs of
a county which makes meeting both not quite
the challenge elected officials might find on a
state or federal level.
However, that doesn’t mean the candidates
for county supervisor aren’t ready to find that
balance when necessary.
“The community in each district should feel
that their district supervisor is their go-to per-
son,” said Holober.
Holober doesn’t see the role as provincial in
that he would only represent one-fifth the
county but said if he gets a call out of East Palo
Alto, for example, he would touch base first
with that district’s supervisor, Rose Jacobs
Gibson, before moving forward.
District One will feel the high-speed rail
impact strongly, perhaps more so than other
districts, as will infill housing, Holober said.
Stogner thinks in terms of the county, not the
district, because he feels they are largely the
same.
“I honestly think when I go to Pescadero or
wherever I’m just as at home or connected,” he
said.
Nagel also sees a connection between coun-
ty and district needs but thinks perhaps the
county can, for instance, make economic
development a series of pilot programs on a
city-by-city basis.
Supervisors must think about the county
overall as opposed to just their district although
the majority of issues affect both, said Pine.
A good example of balancing both is place-
ment of a new jail, he said.
Districts certainly have specific concerns
about having a new correctional facility in its
backyard but officials must look at the big pic-
ture.
“I don’t think it’s too much to ask an elected
official to act in the benefit of the larger body,”
Pine said.
Nikas also feels district needs often mirror
LOCAL
those of the county at-large
and doesn’t see any partic-
ular issue for the district
other than possibly sewer
rate hikes.
Making a choice
As a member of the char-
ter review committee that
recommended a vote on the Richard Holober
question of district versus
countywide elections, Pine
may be the most outspoken
on the often debated mat-
ter.
“I feel very strongly that
we joint the other 57 coun-
ties statewide and elect by
district,” he said.
The issue was dormant at
the time Pine and the others Terry Nagel
answered the question but
last week the county was
sued over its elections poli-
cy by residents and
lawyers’ groups who claim
it is prohibitive to Latino
and Asian voters.
Nagel said she can see
both sides of the argument
for both district and coun-
tywide elections but con- Demetrios Nikas
cedes the latter is a lot
more work than the former.
“The sheer size of the task probably keeps
some from running,” she said.
On the other hand, she said it makes for a
better county representative because one must
visit the cities and learn their individual con-
cerns.
Even so, she doesn’t want to lose touch with
her own district if elected and envisions office
hours or a newsletter as means to keep a finger
on the pulse of her immediate constituents.
Papan wants voters to settle the debate.
Although the county has run well with county-
wide elections, she said it is better to let voters
than the courts decide.
“If the county is eventually sued, however,
the type of elections utilized to elect supervi-
sors may be determined for us rather than by
us,” she said.
Being neighborly
Relations between San
Mateo and San Francisco
counties in the last year
were less than neighborly
as supervisors to the north
briefly considered institut-
ing a toll and did pass a
local-hire policy requiring
Gina Papan
a percentage of construc-
tion jobs go to residents.
Holober feels the pro-
posed state ban on local
hire policies proposed by
Assemblyman Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, is the best
method of heading off the
policy he finds ill con-
ceived.
“I’m not a lawyer but I
Dave Pine find it extremely question-
able,” he said.
The goal for all Bay
Area jurisdictions but par-
ticularly the neighboring
counties, he said, is not
creating a competition
over scarce resources.
Stogner said he appreci-
ates the current board’s
efforts to stymie the local
Michael Stogner
hire policy because he
doesn’t “want local residents to be hurt”
although he emphasizes that there much
greater needs to address, like public safety and
the accountability of elected officials.
Nikas said perhaps the county should
respond with its own toll policy, placing a
booth every five miles or so.
The battle shows that San Francisco thinks of
its neighbor to the south as second-class citi-
zens, Pine said.
The county’s supervisors need to have more
dialogue with their counterparts in San
Francisco and work to convince them that their
own best interests are not those of the region,
he said.
The local-hire policy is “infuriating,” Nagel
said, who also has sharp words for San
Francisco’s other failed revenue-generating
Monday • April 18, 2011 27
suggestion.
“You know people are really getting desper-
ate when they’re talking about putting up toll
booths. San Mateo County had every right to
stand up and protest,” she said.
Rights and wrongs
Although none of the candidates want to sec-
ond-guess the choices and direction of the cur-
rent and previous boards, evaluations of that
history do give some insight into where each
would also like to go.
Holober gives kudos to the current board for
tackling health care and affordability and for
stepping up to backfill some of the in-home
support services when the state made cuts.
“I applaud them ... those are very vital and
allow people to live at home with dignity,”
Holober said.
He does have criticism for decisions made a
decade or so ago which played into the recent
Lehman Brothers bankruptcy loss by creating
“unreal economic projections.”
As a supervisor, Holober said he will not
commit to long-term obligations unless he and
the board full understand the possibly ramifica-
tions.
The issues the current board is addressing
are “okay,” Stogner said, although he thinks
they are falling short of address important dues
like “making sure those holding all county
offices behave appropriately.”
Nagel likes to see the current supervisors
take aim at a specific issue, like Supervisor
Adrienne Tissier working on emergency pre-
paredness and Board President Carole Groom
establishing the car-free streets.
“When they take the initiative to do some-
thing above and beyond, that is great,” she said.
Pine said, with the benefit of hindsight, the
board could have been more aggressive with its
budget but concedes that is easy to say after the
fact. He also lauds the board for its process and
decision to locate a new jail away from down-
town Redwood City and for vocally advocating
for regional fire service.
Nikas said he doesn’t have any examples of
something the board has done right or wrong.
“I have not been following the board deci-
sions up to date,” he said.
