Prosecutors seek
PG&E documents
By Garance Burke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Federal prosecutors
are seeking thousands of pages of documents
from California authorities as they probe a
deadly gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno,
the Associated Press has learned.
Prosecutors have requested a vast array of
records, including Pacific Gas & Electric
Co.’s maps, reports and emergency plans, in a
broad inquiry into last year’s blast that killed
eight people and laid waste to dozens of
homes, according to letters the AP obtained
through a public records request to state regu-
lators.
Josh Eaton, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney
Melinda Haag, confirmed Wednesday that
prosecutors in the San Francisco office were
looking into the explosion but declined to
offer any details.
Relatives of those who died in the gas-
fueled fireball that swept through the San
Bruno neighborhood on the evening of Sept. 9
said they hoped the federal probe would hold
accountable those responsible for the acci-
dent.
“It’s comforting to hear that they’re finally
looking into this and it’s about time,” said

Burlingame has a lot to lose
Neighbors concerned over plan to switch parking between city, church
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A proposal to swap land between the city of
Burlingame and St. Catherine of Siena Church
is raising concerns for those who live and work
near the Primrose Road lot that would lose 35
spaces.
Under the proposal, the city would acquire a
75 foot by 150 foot property at 161 Highland
Ave., adjacent to city parking lot N. St.
Catherine of Siena Church would acquire a
67.5 foot by 155.25 foot portion of parking lot
G, located on Primrose Road between Howard
and Bayswater avenues, adjacent to the church
property, with plans to build a multi-purpose
facility. The portion of lot G that could be
acquired offers 35 public parking spaces, leav-
ing about 60, but residents and businesses in
the area fear that won’t meet parking needs.
The City Council was schedule to discuss the
proposal Monday, but was pushed back to May
16 to allow the city to work with local busi-
nesses in hopes of finding solutions to issues
being raised, City Manager Jim Nantell said.
Linda Humber, who lives across the street
from lot G, said she was certain losing any
spaces would not leave enough spaces for
those who frequent nearby businesses, non-
profits and churches.
“It meets the wants of the minority, but not
the needs of the majority,” said Humber.
The Rev. Dr. Archer Summers, senior minis-
ter at Burlingame United Methodist Church,
called the conversation head scratching. Those
who live and work around lot G recently
learned conversations between the church and
city were going on, at least informally, for
years without the inclusion of neighbor per-
spectives. Summers questioned when some-
thing like this should be discussed with others.
Additionally, he felt losing parking under-
mined the city’s downtown plan.
Herb Perez, owner of Gold Medal Martial
Arts, was concerned about the process. Many
businesses did not receive notification of the
conversation, although Community
Development Director Bill Meeker said 181
were sent out.
That aside, Perez questions why the process
is focusing on the land switch rather than the
proposed use of the portion of lot G which

could be acquired by St. Catherine of Siena.
On Monday, the Planning Commission dis-
cussed the proposal but had a limited opportu-
nity to vote. The question before the commis-
sion was simple: Would the switch fit within
the downtown plan? A majority voted yes. The
agreement would allow the church land to
build a multi-purpose facility, according to a
staff report written by Planning Manager
Maureen Brooks. A representative for St.
Catherine of Siena Church did not return calls
for comment.
No plans have been submitted thus far,
Brooks wrote. St. Catherine of Siena Church
will need to do a full environmental review
before building on the site.
Perez questioned why not discuss the possi-
ble building and its impacts first? The land
switch would not guarantee approval of such
plans, he noted. If plans to make the building
work are amenable to the city, then Perez
understands the need to discuss switching
land.
Concerns such as these made staff realize the
spots that could be lost provide short-term
parking, which there isn’t much of in lot G, said
Nantell. Delaying the council conversation will
hopefully allow the city and neighbors to create
options to propose before the council Monday,
May 16. If the city is interested, a final vote
could happen Monday, June 6.
SCOTT LENHART/DAILY JOURNAL
For the city, the switch could create a net
gain in parking spaces in a different part of the
downtown.
Combining the property at 161 Highland
Ave. with lot N will give the city a net increase
of 38 to 41 parking spaces, Brooks wrote. The
downtown plan also leaves Lot N open for a
partnership with a private developer. No such
partnership is currently in place, Brooks said.
If the city were to acquire 161 Highland Ave.,
at least for the time being, it would remain
parking, she said.
The council will discuss the proposal 7 p.m.

Bond project list DA will retry teen bomber’s sanity
up for discussion
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Voter-approved bond money
could cut down debt while also
funding a 10-year technology plan,
consolidation of Mateo Union High
School District administration facil-
ities and a new continuation high
school, according to a proposed
project list which the school board
will discuss Thursday.
Measure O — a $186 million
bond measure voters passed last
year — did not include a detailed
project list. Instead, the bond lan-
guage earmarked the funds to cover
projects like replacing old class-
rooms, securing land and building a
new continuation school in addition
to restructuring loans. On Thursday,
the Board of Trustees will hold a
study session to discuss a more
detailed project list and weigh in on
options.
Covering outstanding debt is the
largest component to Measure O.
San Mateo Union took on an $80
million consolidation loan in 2007
which has since created structural
budget issues. Currently, the debt
sits at $74 million. But how quickly
the district will cover it has yet to be
decided. It could, for example, pay
it all off with the first issuance of
bonds. Or, the district could spread
out the payments. The latter, howev-
er, will increase the total cost of
paying off the debt by about $4 mil-
lion, according to a staff report.
On the detailed project list are
replacing exterior building panels at
Aragon, Hillsdale and Mills; replac-
ing the home economic classroom
building; building new stadium
bleachers at Burlingame; replacing
an electrical panel at Capuchino;
creating a smaller learning commu-
nity classroom building for
Hillsdale; a district-wide solar ther-
mal pool heater; consolidating dis-
trict office facilities; and building a
new continuation high school. The
last two options could be costly and
include the purchase of land — an
item also on the possible list.
District officials have often noted a
need to relocated Peninsula, the dis-
trict’s continuation high school, to a
more central location. Specific loca-
tions are not set to be discussed, but
tonight could create a framework for
the search.
For Measure O, residents of the
district pay between $5 to $23.86
per $100,000 of their assessed prop-
erty values. Measures M and D
combined cost voters $31.79 per the
$100,000 of a person’s assessed
property value. The bond measure
increases that total tax rate to $36.79
until paid off.
The board meets 5:30 p.m.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The sanity of the former Hillsdale
High School student convicted of
attempting to kill his chemistry
teacher with a chain saw and
destroy the school with homemade
pipe bombs will come under scruti-
ny by jurors again in September.
The second sanity trial for
Alexander Robert Youshock, 18,
comes five months after the jury that
found him guilty of six felonies
could not unanimously decide if he
was sane at the time he arrived on
campus with an arsenal of weapons
and a plan for vengeance.
Defense attorney Jonathan
McDougall, facing at least two
other serious trials on his calendar
this year, sought a longer delay but
Judge Stephen Hall agreed with
prosecutor Karen Guidotti’s request
for sooner.
Hall scheduled retrial for Sept. 19
with a pretrial conference May 13 to
ensure all necessary witnesses are
available.
The choice to retry Youshock
rather than let him be hospitalized
as insane is due in part to the jury’s
split — 11 to 1 in favor of sane —
and, Guidotti said, public safety.
“The problem isn’t about where
he serves his time. What’s important
is that the community is protected
from him for a long period of time,”
she said.
If Youshock were found insane
and committed, he could be released
as soon as doctors found him
restored to sani-
ty.
“That could
be fairly soon,
since two court-
appointed doc-
tors have
already found
him sane,”
Alexander Guidotti said.
Youshock McDougall
did not return a
call for comment. Although the guilt
phase does not require a complete
do-over, much of the evidence pre-
sented during that trial — the staff
who encountered Youshock on cam-
pus, the explosives experts who tes-
tified to the sophisticated nature of
the weapons — will find its way
into the second sanity trial because
it is necessary to show he was aware
of his actions, Guidotti said.
Nearly all doctors during trial,
both defense and prosecution,
agreed Youshock is likely schizo-
phrenic and possibly paranoid but
jurors must decide if the disease
kept him from knowing what he was
doing at the campus on Aug. 24,
2009 or that the crimes were legally
and morally wrong by generally
accepted societal standards.
The jury convicted Youshock of
six felonies related to the attack —
premeditating and trying to murder
his former chemistry teacher,
Meghan Spalding; two counts of
exploding a destructive device with
intent to commit murder; possessing
a destructive device in a public
place; using explosives in an act of
THE DAILY JOURNAL
terrorism and possessing a deadly
weapon. The jury hung 9 to 3 on
another count of attempted murder
and found untrue that he used the
chain saw he brought to campus as a
deadly weapon.
Youshock, then 17, carried a
chain saw in a soft guitar case, a tac-
tical vest outfitted with 10 home-
made pipe bombs, a 10-inch sword
and other accouterments like a face
shield to protect him from blood
splatter and four door stops to keep
teachers from locking classes
inside.
He planned to kill three teachers,
including Spalding, who he blamed
for ruining his life by pushing
school work and participation
before he dropped out his sopho-
more year.
Youshock was unable to start the
chain saw and exploded two bombs
that injured no one before being
tackled by a teacher and held until
police arrived. McDougall argued
Youshock’s schizophrenia kept him
from understanding his actions.
Guidotti asked jurors to consider
how Youshock, if so psychotic at the
time, was able to prepare and carry
out his plan. She said he was lucid
before, during and after the crimes
which doesn’t fit the disorganized
thinking associated with schizo-
phrenia. She also pointed to his
deliberate lies to his mother so she
would buy him chemicals he
claimed was for bottle rocket
engines.
He remains in custody without
bail.

Afghan officer opens fire,kills nine Americans

By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — A veteran Afghan
military pilot said to be distressed over his per-
sonal finances opened fire at Kabul airport after
an argument Wednesday, killing eight U.S.
troops and an American civilian contractor.
Those killed were trainers and advisers for
the nascent Afghan air force. The shooting
was the deadliest attack by a member of the
Afghan security forces, or an insurgent imper-
sonating them, on coalition troops or Afghan
soldiers or policemen. There have been seven
such attacks so far this year.
Although the individual circumstances may
differ, the incidents of Afghans turning
against their coalition partners seem to reflect
growing anti-foreigner sentiment independent
of the Taliban. Afghans are increasingly tired
of the nearly decade-long war and think their
lives have not improved despite billions of
dollars in international aid.
The Taliban, who are currently staging their
opening salvos of the spring fighting season,
boasted that the gunman in Wednesday’s air-
port attack was a militant impersonating an
army officer.
This claim did not seem credible, however.
Defense Ministry spokesman Gen.
Mohammad Zahir Azimi said the gunman was
an officer who had served as a pilot in the
Afghan military for the past 20 years. The
gunman — identified as Ahmad Gul, 48, of
Tarakhail district in Kabul province — died in
an exchange of fire that followed his attack.
The gunman’s brother insisted he was not a
Taliban sympathizer.
“He was under economic pressures and
recently he sold his house. He was not in a
normal frame of mind because of these pres-
sures,” said the brother, Dr. Mohammad REUTERS

Syrian city at heart of uprising under siege
UN,European nations
seek end to violence
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — European nations sum-
moned Syrian ambassadors in a coordinat-
ed demand that President Bashar Assad
stop gunning down his people, and
Germany said sanctions were possible if
the crackdown did not ease.
The United States called on the U.N.’s
top human rights body to approve an inde-
pendent probe and recommend prosecution
if violations of international human rights
law are uncovered.
A draft resolution to be considered at an
emergency session of the U.N. Human
Rights Council on Friday demands an
immediate end to Assad’s efforts to crush
the challenge to his rule. It also calls on
Syria to lift its ban on nearly all foreign
media and ease its restrictions on the
Internet and telecommunications.
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — The city at the heart of Syria’s
monthlong uprising ran low on food, water and
medicine Wednesday as the army sent in more
tanks and reinforcements as part of a widening
crackdown against opponents of President
Bashar Assad’s authoritarian regime, witness-
es said.
Two residents in Daraa said at least five
army officers had sided with demonstrators,
and conscripted soldiers sent into the city were
quietly refusing orders to detain people at
checkpoints and were allowing some people
through to get scarce supplies. But the Syrian
government denied that there had been any
splits in the military, which is seen as fiercely
loyal to Assad.
Gunfire and sporadic explosions were heard
in Daraa, two days after the military rolled in
— backed by tanks and snipers. The army also
deployed tanks around the Damascus suburb
of Douma and the coastal city of Banias, the
site of large demonstrations recently.
“We have no electricity, no water, no tele-
phones and no bread,” resident Abdullah
Abazeid told the Associated Press by satellite
telephone from Daraa, where the uprising
began more than five weeks ago. “The situa-
tion is terrible.”
Assad is trying to crush the uprising that
poses the gravest challenge to his family’s 40-
year ruling dynasty. Since mid-March, more
than 450 people have been killed across Syria
in the crackdown, with 120 dead just over the
weekend.
The repression, however, has only embold-
ened protesters who started their revolt with
calls for modest reforms but are now increas-
ingly demanding Assad’s downfall.
Syria has banned nearly all foreign media
and restricted access to trouble spots since the
uprising began, making it almost impossible to
verify the dramatic events shaking one of the
most authoritarian regimes in the Arab world.
Doctor says 12
protesters killed in Yemen
SANAA, Yemen — Yemeni security forces
opened fire on a massive anti-government
demonstration in the capital Sanaa on
Wednesday, killing 12 protesters and wound-
ing some 190, a doctor at the scene said.
The violence broke out as about 100,000
government opponents filled a landmark
square at the epicenter of the uprising, spilling
into the streets around the state TV building.
Witnesses said security forces, including
members of the elite Republican Guard, fired
live ammunition and tear gas into the crowd to
break it up. Snipers were seen on nearby
rooftops aiming at the crowd.
“Many of the dead and wounded were shot
in the head and torso,” doctor Mohammed al-
Ibahi told the Associated Press.

A response to ‘Cuts to health prompt search for help’
By Dr. Daniel Ullyot
O
ne of San Mateo County’s most
important roles is to provide health
care to those in the county most in
need or least equipped to afford basic servic-
es. Children, seniors, the homeless, the work-
ing poor, those with mental illness and others
all rely on county health services in many
ways. And Mr. Silverfarb’s story “Cuts to
health prompt search for health” in the April
7 edition of the Daily Journal correctly
points out that many of these services are
underfunded and are in jeopardy.
The Peninsula Health Care District Board
is proud to do our part in financially support-
ing county and nonprofit charity programs
helping to fill some critical health care gaps.
Over the past four years, the district has
committed some $8.6 million to programs
that include the children’s Health Initiative

out health insurance are covered; Samaritan

Prosperity for who?
Editor,
This “Path to Prosperity” that promises
huge cuts in government eliminating those
“frivolous” programs like Social Security,
privatizing Medicare, constraining debt limits
and expanding tax relief for the wealthy
brings prosperity to me? I don’t think so.
Like so many other retired Americans, I
depend on Social Security and, without
Medicare, I have no health care at a time
when I need it most. This Path to Prosperity
sounds more like a Path to Poverty for me
and the other 80 percent of us who currently
own about 13 percent of this country’s
wealth (2009). For those other 20 percent of
Americans who already claim 87 percent of
the nation’s wealth, who are already “pros-
perous,” do they really need more prosperity?

few. In fact, just recently, our district provid-
ed funds to the Red Cross to help open a cen-

were devastated by the explosion and fire
there last year. These are just a few examples
of the district’s support of programs targeting
the underserved in our community, and per-
haps relieving to some extent the county’s
burden during this budget crisis.
Recently, San Mateo County Supervisor
Don Horsley spoke at our public board meet-

currently in no position to affect such
restoration.
If local government wants to reduce traffic
and find a non-tax source of revenue to boot,
they should encourage a land lease of
Bedwell Park (the old Marsh road dump site)
for development of a golf course. The devel-
opers of the Saltworks project almost always
include golf courses in their projects. And,
while we’re at it, why don’t we ask them to
include a modern bowling alley to replace
the historic Mel’s Bowl which will succumb
to bulldozers next month to make way for
“low-income” housing. That would save me
and my fellow Redwood City bowlers, faced
with a choice of Palo Alto Bowl or Bel
Mateo, beaucoup bucks. Those savings
would result from decreased travel times
which equals less Arab oil and less traffic.
Did I mention that there is a severe short-
age of public golf courses for MidPeninsula
golfers who often travel 20 to 30 miles to
play? Or, that land leases of only a few per-
cent of publicly owned open space land
could fill that need and produce revenue for
local government?
It’s time to “Just say NO” to radical envi-
ronmentalists.

Waiting for
the big day
I
s it over yet? You know, the great love
story, the tale of triumph over over-
whelming obstacles, the dramatic end
to months of public buildup, the will she or
won’t she, the what-
will-they-all-wear, the
what-does-the-future-
hold questions.
No, no, silly. Not
the launch of the
Endeavour but the
Royal Wedding other-
wise known as the
Will and Kate Circus
Spectacular.
One might think the
second-to-last
American space shuttle launch would get a
tad more publicity in this country than say
the pending nuptials of outdated foreign aris-
tocracy whose head helms a church our fore-
fathers fled.
Besides, this particular space shuttle
launch is more than a reminder that the pro-
gram still exists, albeit for two more months.
The launch is more than fuzzy memories of
Tang and the Right Stuff and sadly recalling
the Challenger and Columbia tragedies.
This time, the launch is wrapped in a
human story, the story of recovering U.S.
Rep. Gabby Giffords and her shuttle pilot
husband, Mark Kelly, still amazingly
embarking on an event planned long before
that fateful meet-and-greet in Arizona. By
most accounts, Giffords should be dead. By
most expectations, Kelly shouldn’t be flying
and Giffords shouldn’t be in any physical
condition to personally watch him go.
But miracles and unexplainable acts of for-
tune happen and the couple are an example
to newlyweds like Will and Kate that their
wedding day may not be their lives’ most
extraordinary moment.
That aside, their story plus the planned
appearance of the First Family at Friday’s
launch already overshadow the sunset of the
space program. Even the shuttering of SETI
has gotten more widespread discussion this
week than what the shutdown of space
exploration actually means, financially, polit-
ically and culturally. Now, American astro-
nauts will have to stick a thumb out to hitch
a ride on Richard Branson’s brainchild or
pull a Lance Bass and cozy up to the
Russians for a jaunt to the International
Space Station. Who would have ever thought
all those decades ago that one small step for
man would end with far below the stars it
aimed to reach?
Of course, who would have ever thought
all of that would happen the same day Prince
William dare marry a commoner for —
could it be? — love and restore a little polish
to the tarnished image of the dusty queen’s
reign?
So, instead of seeing infomercials for
Endeavor replicas and Kelly dolls, television
viewers are pummeled with all things Royal
Wedding. Buy a replica sapphire and dia-
mond ring! Wear a knockoff of Kate’s
engagement announcement dress! Make a
guess at the wedding dress designer! Review
the foibles of royalty past and check out a
top 10 list of still-available princes and
princesses! Play guess-how-much-William’s-
hair-has-receded!
Most of all, set the alarms for 3 a.m. West
Coast time to catch a glimpse of the pomp
and circumstance. Then rest up before the
noon-hour shuttle launch even if historic
space sounds less exciting than pop culture
spouses. By the end of the day, both bunches
of hoopla will be that much closer to being
over, even the one that was royally
overblown.

Stocks rise to 2011 high
By Chip Cutter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks rose to another
high for the year Wednesday after
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke said central bank officials
expect the economy to continue recover-
ing as the jobs market strengthens.
The Russell 2000, an index of small
stocks, hit a record. The Standard &
Poor’s 500 index has now doubled from
its lows reached during the financial cri-
sis.
The Fed said it expects the economy to
grow as much as 3.3 percent this year.
That’s below the Fed’s previous forecast
in January, but the Fed also said it’s more
optimistic about jobs. It now expects the
unemployment rate to fall as low as 8.4
percent by the end of the year. The unem-
ployment is currently at a two-year low
of 8.8 percent.
Bernanke’s comments came during his
first news conference. He was speaking
after Fed officials held a two-day policy
meeting. The Fed also announced that its
$600 billion bond-buying program would
end as scheduled in June. The Fed repeat-
ed its promise to keep interest rates low
for “an extended period.”
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
95.59 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at
12,690.96. The Dow was already up
Bernanke:No further steps to spur jobs
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke said
Wednesday that the Fed can’t take addi-
tional steps to try to ease high unem-
ployment without escalating inflation.
If inflation were to accelerate, the Fed
would have to raise rates to slow bor-
rowing and spending and blunt price
increases. Hiring might then slow.
Speaking to reporters, Bernanke
became the first chairman in the Fed’s
98-year history to begin holding regular
news conferences. The session, the first
of three scheduled news conferences this
year, is part of Bernanke’s long-standing
campaign to make the Fed more trans-
parent and to cast himself as open and
accessible.

1Q loss narrows on costs
SAN MATEO — Pain Therapeutics
Inc. on Wednesday reported a smaller
first-quarter loss on lower costs as the
company awaits a regulatory decision on
the painkiller Remoxy.
The company said it lost $207,000, or
break-even on a per-share basis, compared
with a loss of $1 million, or 2 cents per
share, in the prior year period. Revenue
remained flat at about $3.2 million.

another 50 points after the Fed chairman
spoke. The last time the Dow was this
high was in May 2008.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 8.42,
or 0.6 percent, to 1,355.66. That was its
highest price since June 2008.
The index has now doubled from its
closing level on March 9, 2009, when it
hit a 12-year low during the financial cri-
sis. It’s still 13 percent below the record
high of 1,565 it reached in October 2007.
The Nasdaq composite index rose
22.34, or 0.8 percent, to 2,869.88.
The Russell 2000 index, a benchmark
for small stocks, surpassed its record
high of 855.77 reached in July 2007. It
closed up 5.27, or 0.6 percent, to 858.31.
The economy’s rapid rebound from the
recession has caused small stocks to
surge. Companies in the S&P 500 index
have record amounts of cash on their bal-
ance sheets, leading to the widespread
belief that smaller companies are natural
targets for corporate acquisitions.
“The fact is that until we go into a
sustained soft patch in the economy, the
small (companies) are going to contin-
ue to outperform,” said Quincy Krosby,
market strategist at Prudential
Financial.

around 45 percent of the unemployed
have been without a job for six months
or longer.

can be very distressing because people

their skills tend to atrophy,” Bernanke
said.

Serra stymies Panthers in second half

For the Serra lacrosse team, the best offense
is a great defense.

How does one follow up a no-hitter? Just ask
Hillsdale pitcher Jordan Richwood.
Richwood, the Hillsdale softball team’s star
pitcher, threw a no-hitter Tuesday against Mills
and followed that with an even more impressive
performance in a 3-1 win over Peninsula Athletic
League power Carlmont Wednesday.
While Richwood didn’t equal the no-no she
hurled against Mills, Wednesday’s performance
was even better, given the quality of the oppo-
nent.
“Every game, to me, is a big game,” Richwood
said. “But there’s definitely more adrenaline
going through when you play a team like
Carlmont.”
The junior — yep PAL opponents, you’ll have
to deal with Richwood for one more season —
allowed one run on three hits while striking out
11, including a strikeout of the side in the top of
the sixth inning.
She lost her shutout bid in the top of the sev-
enth when Megan Hansen walked, went to third
on Aurora Stotler’s single down the right-field
line and scored on Amelia Gerolimatos’ ground-
out.
Other than that, however, Richwood and the
Knights were never seriously threatened.
“Having Jordan is such a luxury,” said
Hillsdale coach Randy Metheany. “She keeps us
in all the games.”
Hillsdale (9-0 PAL Bay, 19-3 overall) needed
everything it got from Richwood because
Hillsdale’s normally loud bats were quieted
Wednesday as the Knights were held to just four
hits — a pair each from Kaylin Stewart and
Marissa Cho.
They did benefit, however, from seven walks
and a pair of Carlmont errors.
“I thought we could have hit the ball better,”
Metheany said. “It’s a big game. I think the girls
might have been a little tight.”
What the Knights may have lacked in hitting,
they made up for with heads-up, aggressive base
running. They scored their first run in the first
inning when Dani Fonseca drew a one-out walk,
went to second on a wild pitch and ended up
scoring from second on another wild pitch.
The second inning saw Hillsdale get its only

goals in that same stretch, it was enough to

good goalie.”
Wednesday, Serra goalkeeper Clinton
Cosko wasn’t just good, he was great, making
a handful of key saves down the stretch for the
Padres.
Hillsdale pitcher Jordan Richwood followed up a no-hitter Tuesday with a three-hit,
11-strikeout performance in a 3-1 win over Carlmont Wednesday.

“Once that ball goes into that net you just
get into that zone and you feed off that,”
Cosko said. “Most of it is mental, just being

defense.”
The Serra defense had it moments, howev-

T
he last couple of seasons, the
Carlmont boys’ golf team has been
on the cusp of greatness. Two years
ago, the Scots finished in second place in the
Peninsula Athletic League. Last year, they
finished in a tie for first with Menlo-
Atherton, but the Bears earned the PAL’s
automatic Central Coast Section berth by
virtue of having a better scoring differential.
This year, Carlmont owned the PAL by
going a perfect 12-0 in capturing the league
championship.
“We had a really
good run there,”
Carlmont coach Pat
Smith said in the
understatement of the
year. “We had five kids
returning who were
part of the top six last
year. Plus, we had a lot
of returners who were
actual golfers, kids
who go out and played
a lot and enjoy the
game.
“To be perfectly honest, I have a great
group of kids.”
Smith said there was great camaraderie on
this year’s squad, a team that had freshmen
who were unafraid to give the upperclassmen
some grief, as well as juniors and seniors
who were not threatened by the youngsters.
Since they were all golfers — “If these kids
weren’t playing on the (Carlmont) golf team,
they would still be out playing golf,” Smith
said — they all knew they belonged.
The Scots are led by senior Patrick Soli,
the son of Mick Soli, a former touring pro
and current PGA certified golf instructor at
Mariners Point Golf Links in Foster City.
Patrick Soli was the team’s most consistent
golfer all season, Smith said.
“The biggest thing I noticed (this season) is
he doesn’t get down on himself if he has a
bad shot or a bad hole,” Smith said. “Because
of that, he developed a lot more consistency.”
Soli capped the regular season by shooting

was only given a one-year contract with a team
option for next season, and he was often labeled a
fill-in candidate charged with overseeing the tran-
sition.
The coach met with Lacob and the basketball
operations staff in the morning and was told he
wouldn’t be retained.
“It’s a very complex decision and not an easy
thing to do. No one likes to make changes that
affect someone’s life,” Lacob said.

PITTSBURGH — James McDonald had a

McDonald pitched six sharp innings
Wednesday night for his first victory of the

Francisco Giants 2-0.
He allowed four hits and four walks while
striking out three. McDonald (1-2) lowered

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Oakland
Athletics avoided what would have been
another sweep by the Los Angeles Angels
because outfielders Vernon Wells and Peter
Bourjos weren’t able to avoid each other.
Cliff Pennington opened the 10th inning
with a triple off Wells’ glove and scored on
Conor Jackson’s groundout, helping the
Athletics win 2-1 Wednesday.
Former Angels closer Brian Fuentes was
credited with the victory despite giving up the
tying run in the bottom of the ninth after an
error by third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.
“They got a break to tie the game and we
got a break to win the game,” Oakland man-
ager Bob Geren said.

Bumgarner (0-4) remained winless despite
allowing only one run and five hits in six
innings with one walk and seven strikeouts.
He cut his ERA to 6.17 from 7.79, but the
Giants lost for the fifth time in six games to
fall below .500 at 11-12.
“I thought Madison did a great job,” San
Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “He
kept his poise and stayed away from the
crooked number that has killed him. It’s tough
to not get runs for him. It’d be big to get him
his first win.”

held down because the Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins lost 1-0.
McDonald was tagged for eight runs in
three innings at Florida in his previous start
six days earlier. Pirates catcher Chris Snyder
“It’s difficult to make the call on a ball like
that,” Hunter said. “With a guy throwing 97
(mph) to a left-handed hitter, he’s going to be
a little late on his swing. And if you’re in cen-
ter field, you’ve got to know that the ball is
going to tail back to left with a little sink to it.
Peter’s so fast, he got there early. I mean,
speed is good, but sometimes you get to balls
that nobody expects you to get to. You’ve just
got to give them a little more time playing
with each other.”
Daric Barton was intentionally walked with
one out, and Jackson delivered the run with a
high chopper to shortstop.
Oakland’s Tyson Ross scattered four hits
over seven innings and induced three double-
play grounders in his second start for the
injured Dallas Braden.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
said the difference this time was that
McDonald didn’t rely as much on his fastball
and threw more curveballs and changeups.
“He mixed it up really well,” Snyder said.
“He needed that start. He needed to get some-
thing going, something to give him confi-
dence.”
McDonald also got his ERA back into three
digits after allowing 21 earned runs in 18 2/3
innings in his first four starts. However,
against the Giants, McDonald looked more
like the pitcher who went 4-5 with a 3.52
ERA in 11 starts last season after being
acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the
July 31 trading deadline.
The right-hander, who turned 24 years old
last Friday, walked one and did not allow a
runner bast second base in his fourth major
league start before handing 1-0 lead to the
bullpen.
“I was pretty happy with my results,” Ross
said after his 76-pitch effort. “I made an
adjustment from my last start and just tried to
simplify my motion. I attacked the zone early,
got my sinker over the plate and got a lot of
groundballs. The only thing that matters is
that we got the W, and it’s going to be a nice
plane ride home.”
Grant Balfour pitched a perfect eighth and

bye to a spot in the third round against Menlo-
Atherton star Scott Morris. Menlo-Atherton
swept through the PAL Bay Division this sea-
son to post an unblemished 14-0 mark.
Speaking of Pangs, his brother Brandon
Pang and Kenji Iwamoto of Carlmont
advanced to the PAL doubles semifinal by
beating the Burlingame team of Matt Miller
and Forrest Tsu 6-2, 6-0. They’ll face off
against the team of Alex Zha and Thomas
Pauly of Aragon, who won their second-round
match two and two.
Matt Nicolay and Scott Brunstein of Mills
will tangle with Max Siegel and Kevin Bui of
Woodside. Nicolay and Brunstein got past the
team from Westmoor who had a bye into the
second round. Consensus favorite Christian
Perkins and Jesse Perkins of Menlo-Atherton
will headline two Bears versus Bearcats
matchups in the semifinal. Kevin Yeh and
Chinmey Damie drew that task. While the
Bearcats will also be represented by Steven

Quinn, who was down in front of the field,
then shouted, “Hey there are kids out here,” he
said during a news conference at the Los Angeles

Quinn alleged that the coach replied that kids

walked up to Quinn and asked him, “How much
are your teeth worth?”
Quinn said he felt threatened and was unsure
whether McDowell intended to hit him.

“If we played well, we could have been in the

of that is inexperienced and youth.”
As usual, Carlmont (7-2, 15-5) is loaded with
talent — but young — and talent without expe-

College track and field
College of San Mateo track athletes and for-
mer PAL standouts Zeke Edwards (Sequoia)
and Josh Uikilifi (Mills) collected silver
medals in day one of the CCCAA Coast
Conference championships at San Jose City
College.
Edwards’ 164 feet, 6 inch throw in the
javelin was outdone by two inches by Vaughn
Aldape-Soratos of Hartnell. Uikilifi hammer
throw of 136-3 placed him just ahead of team-
mate Charles Olaires (131-1), who took the
bronze medal.
Despite nursing some injuries, Edwards and
Uikilifi will compete in the discus and sho
tput throws today in day two of the event.
On the track, Damian Ross qualified third in
the 100 meters in 10.96 seconds and seventh
in the 200 meters (22.22) for Friday’s finals.
For the CSM women, Samantha Hoffman
qualified sixth in the 100 meters with a time
of 13.13.

of the game, although his wife and daughters
stayed to see it.
Allred sent a letter Wednesday to Major

Giuliacci definitely has the talent but, playing

After collecting their first ever Coast
Conference championship over the weekend,
the CSM women’s swim team is in Southern
California to compete in the state meet.
Preliminaries begin today.
Sophomore Andrea Chan (Mills) is seeded
fourth in the 500 and in the 200 individual
medleys and third in the 100 butterfly. Fellow
star Najelah Najdawi (El Camino) is seeded
sixth, eighth and 11th in the 50-meter free,
50-meter breaststroke and 100 breaststroke,
respectively. The women have also qualified
for four different relays.
On a men’s side that finished a respectable
fourth at the Coast Conference champi-

the 200 butterfly and Alvaro Andaluz

Defamation also demanded an inquiry.
“As more and more sports teams refuse to
allow this sort of behavior, we urge the Atlanta
Braves and Major League Baseball to investigate
this matter immediately and work towards ensur-

alliance’s president, Jarrett Barrios, said.
Selig said the Braves assured his office that
they will immediately investigate the allegations
and report the results to him.
“Although I do not yet have all the facts
regarding this incident, the allegations are very
troubling to me,“ Selig said in a statement. He
said he will decide how to proceed after he gets

Stotler.

Liggett was not too disappointed.

the Padres up 3-1. Serra was in charge, creat-
ing scoring chances in transition, and on
defense, Alex Mills provided some bone-jar-
ring hits.
But with less than two minutes left in the
period, the Padres suffered a lapse.
Burlingame scored three straight goals in a
span of 42 seconds to grab the lead away from
the home team. Waldsmith assisted on a goal
to John Bruni, Sammy Silverstein made a phe-
nomenal individual play taking the ball
straight from the faceoff circle and trekking
down the film to beat Cosko, and Waldsmith
notched his second tally of the game with 54
seconds left in the frame.
Serra seized back a bit of the momentum
right before the quarter when Oliver scored
with 23 seconds left to tie things at four.
With all the goals to end the first quarter,
fireworks were to be expected in the second
frame. But on the contrary, the defenses
clamped down. Serra took the lead 5-4 on
Connor Goodin’s goal that beat Jeung stick
side. That lead didn’t last too long after
Silverstein notched another tally, followed by
Bruni’s second goal with 3:03 left in the sec-
ond quarter.
Little did the Panthers know that it would be
the last goal they would score in a long time.
And they had Cosko to thank for that.
“He was on, he was on today,” Sandford
said of Cusko. “He had some big saves, and he
had some big clears for us. So, it was a good
day for him to be on.”
“Hats off to the defense, they did a great job
of rebounding after they gave up four
straight,” Cusko said. “Burlingame really
came out in the first quarter but we were able
to rebound nicely and our offense did a nice
job, too. We knew they wanted to go one-on-
one and dodge us, so we decided to work hard
off them and let them take outside shots and
hoping that I could stop them. And it worked
out great in the second half.”
Great indeed. Both teams struggled offen-
sively in the game’s latter periods, but Serra
had just enough to get three keys goals.
The first came with 2:13 remaining in the
third quarter off the stick of Bertoldi, who
miraculously got off a shot with a Burlingame
defender draped all over him and his stick.
Serra took the lead in the beginning moments

of the fourth quarter on a Matt McGloin goal
and 40 seconds later, James McDermott
assisted on a pretty goal by David Demartini
that gave the Padres a two-goal lead with a lit-
tle under 10 minutes remaining in the game.
“You know, it’s rough,” said Burlingame
head coach Clark Fisher. “We had two of our
starting defenseman taken out at the begin-
ning. We had a lot of players who we thought
were going to be our anchors that weren’t
there. And we had some players that stepped
in and made huge strides where we didn’t
expect them to. We were prepared, this is the
game we prepare for all year long and we
wanted to win. At the end of the day, they just
fought a little harder than we did.”
Burlingame pulled one back with 54 second
left in the game when Bruni got his third goal
of the game on a great hustle play. And with
12.8 seconds left, Burlingame had the ball in
stick and had an opportunity to equalize, but
couldn’t string together the passes to do so.
“It’s disappointing,” Fisher said of his
team’s dry spell. “Did I expect it? No. But at
the end of the day, I’m not that surprised.
Goals seem to come in bunches and we just
got a huge rush there at the end of the first
half. But it’s frustrating when you see holes in
the defense and you see opportunities and
they just don’t materialize.”

his first under par round of his high school career at Burlingame
Country Club with a 1-under 35. Smith said Soli consistently
shot rounds in the mid to high 30s this season, with only a few
days of scores in the 40s.
Soli was far from a one-man show, however. Sophomore
Andrew Witt and junior Ryan Tierney also played very well all
season long. Both consistently posted scores in the high 30s and
low 40s.
Garrett Allen also played solidly while providing senior lead-
ership, while another sophomore, Luke Li, rounded out
Carlmont’s top five.
The next step for the Carlmont team is the CCS tournament

Homebuyers:Do your homework on warranties
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Home sellers hoping to close a deal some-
times agree to purchase home warranties to
give their buyers peace of mind.
Prospective homeowners, however, should
do their homework to make sure the policies,
which typically cover the major mechanicals
and appliances in a home for one year after
the sale, will actually help, say consumer pro-
tection experts.
The warranties range in price from $350 to
$800. If purchased from reputable companies,
they can help homeowners deal with broken
appliances, malfunctioning air conditioning
and other problems, the experts say. The poli-
cies usually call for homeowners to contact
the service company when something breaks.
The company then sends out a repair person
who provides an evaluation for a set fee, usu-
ally about $65. Once a professional has deter-
mined what the problem is, the warranty com-
pany pays for the broken item to be repaired
or replaced.
CITY
Continued from page 1
a business-focused speech May 24 during a
Chamber of Commerce event. Mullin’s mes-
sage focused on South San Francisco’s green
efforts, work to be fiscally prudent and efforts
to strengthen the community.
Violence was one of the biggest challenges
recently facing the city. In the last year, South
San Francisco lost five young people in drive-
by shootings. Since then, the city created a
community coalition, hired four police offi-
cers who work as part of a Neighborhood
Response Team and reassigned an officer to
work with local schools.
Since reorganizing the police department
and community efforts, the city has had 83
arrests, 47 of which were gang related; con-

lot, it is exempt from environmental impact
reporting requirements.
Under South San Francisco’s voluntary pro-
gram proposal, consumers will have a choice
to buy bags, decline bags or bring their own.
Merchants could charge a reasonable fee,
about 5 cents to 10 cents, for single-use bags
when customers request them, according to a

Often, homeowners dislike transferring that
decision-making power to a third party, said
Angie Hicks, founder of Angie’s List, the
national consumer rating service based in
Indianapolis. Users of home warranty or
home service companies have been the least
satisfied group of reviewers on the site for the
past six years, she said.
Homeowners often expect the companies to
replace the item and are disappointed to learn
it’s going to be repaired, added Bob Miller,
president-elect of the Ohio Association of
Realtors in Columbus, Ohio.
“They’re going to try and fix things before
they give new ones,” he said.
It wouldn’t be economically viable to
replace furnaces, washers and garbage dispos-
als that can be repaired, said Art Chartrand,
spokesman for the National Home Service
Contract Association, headquartered in
Olathe, Kan.
“If servicing it will take care of it, we’ll
service it,” he said. “We certainly don’t want
our product oversold.”
Homeowners may end up surprised by the
ducted 520 interviews, 212 of which were
gang related; and 489 outreach contacts like
playing sports with youth, holding school pro-
grams and engaging neighbors, Mullin said.
The Neighborhood Response Team, as well
as the bicycle police officers, will be working
out of a police substation that will be part of a
new, downtown parking garage that opens

Tips for selecting
home service provider
• Find out exactly what the contract
covers and how much the service fee is.
Pools,spa tubs and other specialty items
might not be included.
• Check to see if the company has
policies on pre-existing conditions,and
whether those repairs would be covered.
• Find out how the company handles
complaints about the contractors who
handle repairs.
• Ask if the company will let you buy a
new appliance or item at a reduced rate
if you would rather not have it repaired.
details of their policies because the con-
tracts are often bought as closing gifts, so
the person using the service is not the one
who bought it, Hicks said. That means the
user did not have a chance to research the
company and carefully evaluate the policy
forums and working as a resource for local
residents and businesses. The city also
installed solar panels on the City Hall annex,
which should save the city $10,000 annually
in electric costs, Mullin said.
Such moves are part of a larger effort to be
fiscally conservative. Challenging economic
times continue. South San Francisco has
reduced its budget by $6 million in recent
years and will cut about $920,000 for next. A
number of savings, Mullin pointed out, were
achieved by working with employees. The
city set up a two-tiered retirement plan with
all of its labor units. Mostly through attrition,
the city’s overall staff has been reduced in
recent years by 10 percent.
“There is some light at the end of the tun-
nel,” Mullin said, adding the most recent sales
tax revenue figures showed a 7.6 percent
increase over the same period last year.

While no San Mateo County city has a ban

When William Merritt bought his first
house last summer in Leander, Texas, the sell-

satisfied with the service so far, but wishes he

“When I go to renew, I’ll look at all the

Alums can display school spirit with flower colors
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Deborah Barber, a devoted sports
fan and avid gardener, shows her
team spirit by planting flowers in
school colors.
The Madison, Wis., resident holds
degrees from Northwestern
University (purple with white) and
Wisconsin (cardinal and white). Her
husband, Rich Brown, on the other
hand, is an Illinois grad (orange and
blue). So she plants in her schools’
colors, with a nod to his.
“How I love the purple and white
combo in perennial irises, annual
petunias and other flowers,” Barber
said about her Northwestern connec-
tion. She uses red and white annuals
to represent Wisconsin, while blue
scilla and daffodils with orange cen-
ters serve as the Illini link. The last,
she says, shows “a gentle expression
of rivalry.”
“As a 50-something gardener, the
specific colors recapture my memo-
ries of schools, school friends and
hometowns from my younger
years,” said Barber.
Along with enthusiastic alumni,
colleges and universities also some-
times plant in school colors.
Bulbs are always a good choice
for color-themed gardens, said Scott
Kunst, owner and head gardener at
Old House Gardens Heirloom
Bulbs, a mail order and Internet
business operating within shouting
distance of Michigan Stadium at
Ann Arbor.
“You can predict when bulbs are
going to bloom,” Kunst said. “If you
have a purple and white crocus, for
example, you know they’ll be
blooming at the same time every
year. Antique bulbs offer a wider
range of colors.”
Annuals, also, are easy to grow, he
said. “The good thing about annuals
is that you can mix them up — col-
ors and varieties.”

ums in white pots when Wisconsin
was invited to play at the Rose Bowl

Sports-crazy gardeners aren’t lim-
ited to flowers when showing school
spirit: Grass can also send the mes-
sage.
“Fertilizers will create block let-
ters in lawns, although it’s tough to
make symbols,” said Mike Goatley,
a turf grass specialist at Virginia
Tech. “Mowing patterns can be cre-
atively done, but are more effective
when the turf or the viewer is elevat-
ed.”
Goatley became involved in a turf
war of sorts at his Blacksburg, Va.,
home several years ago when he
used a warm-season zoysiagrass that
goes dormant in winter over a green,
cool-season fescue lawn to make an
emphatic Virginia Tech logo. He
eventually sold the property, com-
plete with school symbol, to a
Clemson grad. Bulbs are always a good choice for color-themed gardens.

Urban buildings unplug from water grid
By Phuong Le
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — In one of Seattle’s most urban
neighborhoods, a small elementary school is
trying to wean itself off the city’s water grid.
The classroom toilet composts and treats
waste on site rather than flushing it into city
sewer pipes. Water washed down sinks doesn’t
flow into storm drains but recirculates to a 14-
foot-high wall filled with plants, which will
eventually soak it all up. For now, excess flows
through the wall.
Plenty of “green” buildings strive to generate
as much energy as they use, but Bertschi
School’s new science building is one of dozens
nationwide taking it a step further. They’re
attempting to unplug from the municipal water
and sewer system to collect, recycle and reuse
water and wastewater on site, a concept often
referred to as net zero water.
The U.S. Army has a goal for several instal-
lations to reach zero water, energy and waste
use, and last week it designated Fort Riley in
Kansas, Camp Rilea in Oregon and Joint Base
Lewis-McChord in Washington, among others,
to be net zero water. It also named other instal-
lations to strive for net zero use for energy and
waste.
This month, the University of Miami broke
ground on a college dormitory that will reuse
all water from showers, toilets and laundry for
everything except drinking and cooking. With a
$2 million grant from the National Science
Foundation, researchers are developing an
onsite system to convert wastewater into
potable water while treating for pharmaceuti-
cals and other contaminants.
“Water is a looming issue after energy,” said
James Englehardt, a professor of environmental
engineering at the University of Miami who is
spearheading the project. “Energy and water
are intimately linked. We have plenty of water,
but it takes a lot of energy to purify it.”
Despite Seattle’s image as the land of plenty
of rain, water conservation is a concern here
because summer months can typically be dry.
SUBURBAN LIVING Thursday • April 28, 2011 19
Proponents say the Seattle school project and
others like it recognize water as a precious
resource. Treating waste and runoff on site also
means reducing the land, infrastructure, energy
and chemicals needed to convey water to
faucets and later to treat what flows down toi-
lets and bathtubs.
“People are recognizing the limitation of the
planet and what’s available,” said Eden
Brukman, vice president of the International
Living Building Institute, which runs the
“Living Building Challenge,” considered the
most rigorous green-building performance
standards. In the U.S., two projects in Eureka,
Mo., and Rhinebeck, N.Y., have been certified
as living buildings.
In Washington state, Seattle and Clark
County have pilot programs to promote build-
ings that meet those standards.
The Bertschi School, which opened in
February — as well as a midrise building being
built in Seattle by the Bullitt Foundation — are
aiming for living building status.
Designed to be self-sustaining in the energy,
water and waste use, the school’s new science
building collects rainwater in cisterns. A plant-
covered roof slows stormwater runoff, which
can carry contaminants into rivers and streams.
The building is set up to treat gray water to
drinking standards, but it is still drawing water
from the city water supply because of public
health regulations.
“The state gets really nervous about treating
drinking water on site,” said Joel Sisolak,
Washington advocacy and outreach director for
the Cascadia Green Building Council. “Public
water supplies and treatment water systems
have done a lot of good in promoting public
health. The question is, is it still the best
model?”
The composting toilet in the new classroom
functions much like a vacuum toilet found on Water washed down sinks at the Bertschi School in Seattle doesn’t flow into storm drains but
airplanes, and it doesn’t smell bad. recirculates to a 14-foot-high wall filled with plants,which will eventually soak it all up.
Stan Richardson, a school representative,
said composting waste may not work for every-
one but it’s a good tool to teach students that
there are different ways of doing things.

The federal government’s examina-

The National Transportation Safety

Eaton did not clarify the scope or

include everything from PG&E’s seis-

reports on the type of pressure tests
used to justify that the company’s lines

“We are making progress, but the end

PG&E has agreed not to have the
transmission pipe, line 132, that
exploded on the night of Sept. 9 run
through the neighborhood and to pres-
sure test about 200 miles of suspect
pipe across the state, she said.

expected to be completed by October,
according to PG&E.

currently 12.3 percent.
Job growth is expected in clean-tech
and biotech industries and corporate
clients are looking for office space in
the county as the commercial office

The federal investigation of the
Olympic Pipe Line Co. explosion in
1999 ultimately resulted in prison or
probation terms for three company
officials and a settlement requiring
$112 million in penalties and safety
improvements.
“I would find it hard to believe that
given the set of facts in San Bruno,
there isn’t an active criminal investiga-
tion,” said McKay, who now teaches
constitutional law at Seattle University
School of Law. “With a tragedy of this
scope, it’s highly likely that someone
failed and failed miserably, and per-
haps failed criminally.”
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord
did not directly address the federal
pledge of up to $70 million to cover
ongoing costs to the city. That is on top
of the nearly $100 million it has
already pledged to help families recov-
er from the blast.
It is yet to be determined, however,
that PG&E is actually responsible for
the explosion.
The National Transportation Safety
Board report on the cause of the blast is
set to be released this August, she said.
That report will indicate whether
PG&E was liable for the explosion.
Some in attendance at last night’s
town hall meeting said someone should
go to “jail” for the incident.
Yesterday, it was revealed the U.S.
Attorney’s Office has requested
records, including PG&E maps, reports
and emergency plans, in a probe into
last year’s blast.
Federal prosecutors in San Francisco
are looking into the explosion but

and federal investigation to determine
whether his office will file criminal
charges.
A portion of Glenview Drive will
remain closed for some time because
the giant hole the explosion caused
cannot be filled until the NTSB investi-
gation is complete, Aknin said.
Currently, PG&E crews are pressure
many other indicators.
For the first time, the report also
gives detailed information on individ-
ual cities in the county including num-
ber of housing units, daily water use
and monthly energy use.
The information provides compar-
isons on how residents in each city
conserve water and energy.
Residents in Atherton use an average
of 193 gallons of water per person a
day while that number is just under 84
gallons per person a day for Belmont
residents. The county average is 84.4
gallons of water a day per person,
according to the report.
Portola Valley residents also use
much more energy per month than the
county average, about 13.2 million
British thermal units a month com-
pared to the county average of 6.6 mil-
lion Btus of energy a month, according
to the report. Hillsborough residents

inquiry on Wednesday but said the util-
ity recently launched an initiative to
strengthen the safety of its natural gas
transmission system and pressure-test
its pipes. PG&E also has not identified
the cause of the blast.
“PG&E continues to fully cooperate
with the NTSB, the CPUC and other
investigations into the cause of the
tragic accident in San Bruno,” she said.
Federal transportation officials cited
the San Bruno blast, as well other
recent fatal explosions in
Pennsylvania, last month as they called
for the industry to speed up efforts to
repair and replace aging oil and gas
lines. State officials also are seeking
public input on how to strengthen cru-
cial safety rules.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
state regulators, and company repre-
sentatives updated residents
Wednesday night on their progress
toward reform and recovery at a town
hall meeting in a senior center over-
looking the San Francisco Bay.
San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe, who has said his
office is cooperating with federal pros-
ecutors, said the way forward will
depend on what caused the explosion.
“I don’t care what we come up with
through reading all these documents. If
the NTSB gives an explanation saying
there is nothing there for criminal or
civil enforcement, then that is a lynch-
pin,” Wagstaffe said. “Right now
everybody is just trying to read as
many records as we can, and waiting to
hear what caused this.”
testing seven miles of pipe in San
Bruno and South San Francisco to ver-
ify safety and eventually the entire
service area will have pipeline pressure
levels verified, said Kirk Johnson, the
company’s vice president of gas opera-
tions.
“The smell of gas will fill the air dur-
ing this activity,” he said.
The utility may replace up to 152
miles of pipeline in the state if they fail
pressure tests, Johnson said. About 500
miles of PG&E pipeline lack proper
documentation and the utility has up
until October to prove they are safe, as
mandated by the CPUC.
Pressure test records were not
required prior to 1961 and transmission
line 132 in San Bruno was installed in
1956, according to PG&E.
Paul Clanon, CPUC’s executive
director, said his office is “overseeing
the process carefully.”
He called the San Bruno incident a
“game changer” for the CPUC.
“We understand our credibility is at
stake,” Clanon said. “Once all is said
and done, though, San Bruno will be
the safest place to live near a gas trans-
mission line.”

according to the report.
A Btu is the amount of heat required

The report also shows more than 70
percent of all adults in San Mateo
County do not eat enough fruit and
vegetables and that 19 percent of adults
in the county get no exercise.
The 80-page report is largely volun-

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When it comes to a
group endeavor, everything will have to run smoothly

big of a loss, be prepared to extricate yourself should

thought would back you up, should you need it, is
