Bay home sales skyrocket in month
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Home sales in San Mateo County
skyrocketed 65 percent in one
month and median home prices
jumped by 10 percent in the same
period from February to March,
according to the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors.
The local activity bucks a nation-

Gliding along the ice with ease —

County board
set to approve
coastal plan
By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors Tuesday moved one
step closer to resubmitting the coun-
ty’s Midcoast Local Coastal
Program Update to the California
Coastal Commission.
The document, which began
development through a series of
community scoping meetings more
than 10 years ago, will update coun-
ty ordinances regulating land use,
water rights and zoning designations
in the unincorporated Midcoast
communities of El Granada,
Miramar, Moss Beach, Montara and
Princeton-by-the-Sea, interim
Deputy Director of Planning Steve
Monowitz said.
A prior version of the document
was approved by the board and sent
to the Coastal Commission in 2006.
It was denied certification in
December 2009, Monowitz said.
The Coastal Commission sent the
document back to the board with 72
suggested modifications to be incor-
porated before the agency would
reconsider certifying the document,
which contains more than 100 pages
of revisions to 15 ordinances.
The board has until June 10 to

Belmont to go it alone with fire service
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Come October, fire service in the
city of Belmont will be provided by
its own stand-alone department as
talks to save the Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department have offi-
cially failed.
Monday night, the San Carlos
City Council voted to pursue a part-
nership with Redwood City on a
hybrid fire department and last
night, Belmont’s legal counsel said
it was no longer a possibility to
mend the two city’s fractured rela-
tionship.
The critical next step for Belmont
is developing a design for the new
organization, said City Manager
Greg Scoles.
Previous estimates on establishing
a stand-alone fire department,
though, have indicated Belmont
does not quite generate enough
money through an annual assess-
ment to support a new department.
City staff will be working over the
next month to try to bring costs clos-
er to available revenue and will pres-
ent the council with a more detailed
analysis on command structure,
work schedules, shared services and
labor cost in May.
Labor costs represent about 75
percent of the current Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department budget.
The fire district has about $3 mil-
lion in reserves now but it may be
needed to help fill the gap if fire

service cost are beyond the district’s
annual assessment.
To bring costs down, Belmont has
been in discussion with the
Redwood City Fire Department to
share some services but the decision
by the San Carlos City Council to
partner with Redwood City Monday
night may affect Belmont’s ability to
share services with the same depart-
ment.
“Redwood City is still interested
in collaboration but that may be
impacted since San Carlos chose the
hybrid model,” said Belmont’s
Finance Director Thomas Fil.
For now, Belmont is developing a
timeline to have a stand-alone fire
department in place by Oct. 13, the
day after the Belmont-San Carlos
Fire Department officially dissolves.
San Carlos moved to dissolve the
joint fire department a year ago after
the funding formula, based on calls,
population and assessed property
value, saw the city’s share to pay for
the service climb beyond what was
expected.
The two cities entered into media-
tion on the urging of county offi-
cials, but Belmont Councilwoman
Christine Wozniak and San Carlos
Mayor Omar Ahmad failed to reach
an agreement Friday after negotiat-
ing for nearly nine hours.
Little details have emerged from
the mediation session since Friday
but last night, Belmont’s legal coun-
sel on the matter, Michael

Pelosi: Republican budget
‘historic threat’ to seniors
By Matt Sendensky
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says
American seniors are facing what
she termed “historic threats” under
the Republican budget proposal and
is trying to link the GOP stance with
weak values.
Speaking to several thousand
providers of senior services in San
Francisco on Tuesday, the
Democratic leader said “many of the
core initiatives for America’s sen-
iors may be in jeopardy” under the
budget that passed the Republican-
ed an idea to move the dissolution
date from Oct. 12 to another more
suitable date.
“We sought a more rational date
for separation, but it was rejected,”
Colantuono said.
Oct. 12 falls in the middle of the
week and the middle of a pay period,
he said.
“It is an awkward date to termi-
nate,” Colantuono said.
Both cities currently pay between
$6 million and $7 million a year for
fire service but an ongoing structur-
al deficit caused San Carlos to seek
major savings through outsourcing
some of its services.
In Belmont, the city has a dedicat-
ed funding stream to pay for the
service through the Belmont Fire
Protection District while San Carlos
pays for the service out of its gener-
al fund.
Before deciding to partner with
Redwood City, San Carlos had con-
sidered a proposal from private fire
provider Wackenhut Services, out of
Florida, to provide fire service in the
city for as little as $4 million a year
and up to $4.6 million a year.
But that idea was unpopular with
local firefighters, who flooded San
Carlos City Hall Monday night to
urge the council not to accept the
Wackenhut proposal.

Arrests made
in two robberies
Two men were robbed at gun-
point early Tuesday morning in
separate incidents and the suspects
have been arrested, according to
Redwood City police.
Jovan Bell, 24, and Jessica
Hunter, 21, both of Redwood City,
were arrested after the two victims
were able to provide a description
of the suspects and their vehicle,
according to police.
At 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, the sus-
pects drove up to the first victim as
he was walking on Bay Road at
Fourth Avenue. Bell then allegedly
exited a vehicle and robbed the vic-
tim at gunpoint. Bell allegedly took
the victim’s wallet and cellphone
and the suspects fled in their vehi-
cle, according to police. The victim
was not injured, according to
police.
Bell and Hunter then allegedly
drove up to the second victim who
was walking on Madison Avenue
and Adams Street at about 2 a.m.,
according to police.
Bell allegedly exited the vehicle
and attempted to rob the victim
who refused to give up his belong-
ings, according to police. The two
allegedly assaulted the victim
before fleeing the area in a car,
according to police.
Both victims were able to pro-
vide a description of the suspects
and their vehicle. Redwood City
detectives were able to identify
both suspects and the suspect vehi-
cle. A replica handgun was recov-

protesters, it has emboldened them,

have them now increasingly
demanding Assad’s ouster.
European leaders escalated their
criticism of the Syrian crackdown,

Patients Achieve up to 100% Relief from Chronic
Lower Back and Neck Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
F or millions of people who suffer
from chronic lower back pain, Spinal
Decompression Therapy frequently
offers far more effective treatment than
less conservative therapies. Many patients
find that Spinal Decompression Therapy
provides both immediate and long-
term relief. It is a noninvasive therapy
that achieves results without surgery,
injections, or medications. It can provide
relief for herniated discs, degenerative
discs, sciatica, general lower back pain,
and even failed back surgery.
“I liked the idea that Spinal
Decompression Therapy wasn’t
invasive,” said Paul Pratt, a firefighter
for over 30 years. “I liked the idea that
there were no pharmaceuticals involved
and that there was no cutting involved.
I was very optimistic, and was thinking
that this might work for me.” Weeks into
his treatment, Pratt began to experience
a dramatic change for the better.
“It just got better and better,” he said.
“I think in my third week of therapy
I felt like something had moved. The
pain from the sciatica had started to go
away. I was getting sensation back.” By
the end of his therapy, Pratt says he was
completely free of pain. His life was
back to normal.
Understanding Back
and Leg Pain
Pain in the back and lower legs can
result when spinal bones rub, irritate,
pinch, or choke delicate nerves. This
can also impair the function of the
tissues, organs, and systems controlled
by these nerves. The lower back
comprises parts of three basic types.
Bones, called vertebrae, are an essential
part of the skeletal framework. Discs
are the cartilage that cushions or pads
and separates the space between the
vertebrae. And the spine carries nerves
that control muscles, organs, and other
essential body functions. Among these,
the sciatic nerves are the largest and
longest in the body. They exit the spinal
cord from the lower spinal column,
travel down each leg, and divide into

many smaller nerves to the thigh, knee,
calf, ankle, foot, and toes.
Spinal discs are sometimes compared
to jelly doughnuts. If too much
pressure is put on one, the “jelly” can
squirt out. In the human anatomy, this
condition is known as a herniated disc.
When compressed, the space between
vertebrae is reduced, allowing bones to
touch nerves.
Patients get to lie back and relax
while spinal pressures reach
negative levels. Now the natural
repair mechanism in the body
has a chance to really do its work.
How Spinal Decompression
Therapy Works
As its name implies, Spinal
Decompression Therapy creates a
negative pressure on discs in specific
areas, so the cartilage or “jelly” can
realign and return to its proper place.
In other words, this vacuum effect
draws the herniated material back into
the disc, along with water and other
nutrients and thus aids healing within
the disc. While many people think that
any pulling of the spine is “traction,”
there is a substantial difference between
old fashioned traction and Spinal
Decompression Therapy.
“The big difference is that with traction,
as we have known it for years, it is just
a general load pulling the entire spine,”
said Dr. Luis Crespo, M.D., President
National Spine Centers and a member
of the National Academy of Pain
Management. “Traditional, old-style
traction does not differentiate between
the different levels of the discs. Now, by
using motorized spinal decompression,
we are able to change the angle of the
pull and target specifically any disc that
is affected. By doing this, we get much
better results than you get with just
standard traction.”
The advanced technology of
Spinal Decompression systems allow
healthcare professionals to adjust the
amount of traction according to the
reaction of the patient’s body. When
old fashioned traction is used, the
patient’s body may sense tension as it
is being pulled and react by going into
spasm. In contrast, the latest Spinal
Decompression systems counter this
spasm reaction by cycling through a
series of pulling and relaxing as the
treatment is being administered. This
2011 Best Chiropractor in Campbell Nominee
makes the decompression treatment
much more effective and comfortable,
since the patient’s body is not fighting
against the pull of a machine.
A Comfortable Procedure
“Many patients are a little
apprehensive the first time they come
in and get on the machine,” Dr. Crespo
said. “However, once they get on it,
they all react the same way. There is
an immediate sense of relief once the
machine starts pulling. They look at you
and say ‘My pain’s gone.’ After that, it’s
just a matter of them getting comfortable
with it. After awhile, a majority will even
sleep through the procedure.” Here’s what
one patient says.
“After the treatment, I really miss
coming back and being treated,
because I felt like I was at a spa,” said
Lisa Morrison, who had suffered four
herniated discs. “The treatment was
very comfortable and very relaxing.
At the end of some of the treatments,
I felt like I had been through a good
workout. Like I had gone to the gym
and worked out.”
Enjoying an Active Life
Even after patients have been through
spine surgery, Spinal Decompression
Therapy may still offer relief. To her
friends, just seeing Angie Horton
waterskiing again is nothing short of
a medical miracle. That is because just
a few years ago she was recuperating
from her third spine surgery and living
in constant pain.
“I really felt that I had two options,
she said. “It was either a wheelchair
or death. I literally felt I was going
to end up being a crippled person. I
was headed in that direction. I’m very
glad I did not go under a fourth spinal
surgery.” While recovering from her
third surgery, Horton read an article
that introduced her to the science of
Spinal Decompression Therapy.
“I have always said that I don’t use the
word miracle,” she said. “I think someone
above gets that word. But I would
honestly say that this is as close to that
word as you’ll ever get.” Within hours of
her first treatment, Horton noted that she
started to feel relief. And by the end of
her sixth week of Spinal Decompression
Therapy, she was completely free of pain.
Now that she is able to play with her
grandchildren and live an active lifestyle,
she wonders why her surgeon and other
medical experts didn’t tell her about this
therapy sooner.
“I actually got to a point where I became
angry,” she said. “And I went through a
couple weeks of anger simply because I
felt that other people in the medical field
should have been obligated to give me
this information. I’m not against surgery.
I’m not against all the other things like
THE DAILY JOURNAL
epidurals, but I feel that they should not
be on the forefront. They should be on the
backburner. These spinal decompression
machines should be the first thing. Once
you have a proper diagnosis with an MRI,
and if you are a candidate, this should be
the very first thing to do.” Paul Pratt the
firefighter shares much the same feeling.
“In my mind, Spinal Decompression is
what you need to look at first,” he says.
“I’ve heard too many stories of surgeries
that didn’t work, and those people wish
they had never had it done. Because, in
some cases, they are worse off than they
were before. Spinal decompression has
got to be your first option.”
“I was not able to work at all for two
months,” he said. “There was nothing I
could do. I would go back to work on a
light duty position But even on light duty,
sitting in a chair doing menial work, after
about two days it would cripple me up
again to where I couldn’t even do that.”
Along with the physical pain, there was
emotional stress. He could no longer
enjoy time with his grandchildren and
felt all the hopes and dreams for his
retirement years were in jeopardy. By the
end of his therapy, however, Pratt says he
was completely pain free. And a year after
his therapy, he is still completely pain
free, again doing what he loves. Now he’s
the captain of his fire department and is
enthusiastically planning for retirement.
“It brought my life back,” he added, “all
the things I was doing before. Playing
with the grandchildren, playing with my
children. I got to do things with them.

playing with them. All those things came

The ‘smell’ at San Carlos City Hall
Editor,
There is clearly a disturbing “air” about the
city management team and some elected offi-
cials in the little town of San Carlos these
days. It’s all around the city’s attitude of how
it should provide fire and emergency
response service to its residents. It’s an air of
untouchable power, specifically the power of
union busting.
The jocularity and arrogance of the current
leadership, notably the mayor, evidenced by
in-council meeting tweets and lackluster
interest in real negotiation and problem solv-
ing, typify a sad understanding of community
and the role of civic stewardship.
The mayor and those of his ilk seem to
exist within a worldview of abstract board-
room-constructed simplicity that wallows in
a realm of self-reflective artificial flows
detached from real places and real live peo-
ple.
In their world, towns and cities are aggre-
gations of objects organized by seemingly
uber-rational spreadsheets where an elected
individual can pretend-play tough-guy CEO.
Sadly lost in their “simulated world” is any
notion or clue of true “civitas,” and the sense
of responsibility toward community building
with real people and human relationships in
real places.
Civic leaders are elected by their peers to
serve as custodians of their “community” in
the full sense of the word, the spirit of the
place, the living web of human reality. This
real world is more complex, a greater chal-
lenge to navigate and manage, but a much
more wonderful place to actually live in.
Too bad some elected officials don’t get it.
Yes, power stinks and City Hall is beginning
to smell.

Avoiding future
tragedy on Caltrain tracks
Editor,
On April 15, there was a fatal car accident
at the crossing of Charleston Street and the
Caltrain tracks in Palo Alto. Having driven
the area so many times, I always recognized
that the stop light is on the eastern side of the
crossing and, when there is a red light, only
space for two cars is available unless you
know enough to stay on the western side of
the tracks. What I long thought was possible
happened. When the light turned red, this
couple who were from Indiana did not realize
they would be stuck in this situation, and
were especially unfortunate that the Caltrain
was coming too.
City planners and Caltrain officials need to
make sure that their plans for development
are done sensibly. For example, after
Caltrain’s extremely expensive renovations
over the last decade, it failed to provide shel-
ter from the elements at many stations. One
would think this would be an obvious need. I
also notice from time to time that there are
roads that are extremely treacherous like the
south Alma Street exit in Palo Alto off of the
Oregon Expressway. Hopefully, with better
planning, this tragic accident will never hap-
pen again.

No more business as usual
Editor,
I am amazed that our county supervisors
have approved a new contract for deputy
sheriffs that guarantees they will be paid 1
percent more than any other deputy sheriffs
in the entire Bay Area for the next five years.
This agreement is being lauded as a savings
because it is lower than the previous five-
year contract, which guaranteed the deputy
sheriffs 3 percent more than their counter-
parts in the Bay Area.
To close an $82 million gap in next year’s
budget, the supervisors are considering mas-
sive layoffs and cuts to essential services.
They also may dip into the county’s reserves
(as they have for the past four years) and ask
voters to raise the sales tax (which they near-
ly did last year).

has been working for five years to address
the issue of escalating employee compensa-
tion, and I am the only major candidate not

Issues with Cargill plan
Editor,
Harbor Village is a great place to live and
I’m happy here. I recently attended a presen-
tation by the Cargill developers at Harbor
Village Mobile Home Park clubhouse. My
neighbors and I have been speaking up for
years about our fears of the negative impact
of the proposed high-density Redwood
Shores No. 2 community to be built on the
Cargill salt ponds. Before Cargill developed
this land, it was Baylands.
We pressed them on a number of issues
important to us — traffic from 30,000 extra
cars, an increase of 33 percent of the popula-
tion of Redwood City (from 78,000 to
100,000), the impacts of 30 years of con-
struction, a road 220 feet from our back
fence, a trolley flyover over East Bayshore
Boulevard and Highway 101. From where I
sat in the clubhouse, I will be able to see the
flyover.
The representative said that the homes will
range from $425,000 to $1.7 million — with
only 15 percent at the “below market rate —
that’s a median cost of just over $1 million.
One explanation for the high cost of these
homes is the view they will have — a view I
enjoy now, and a view that will disappear for
me behind five-story condos.
Who will buy these million-dollar houses?
If the people who commute from the Central
Valley could afford a million dollar home,
they’d already be living here.

Privatizing fire a
negotiating ploy
N
o developer will ever admit to doing
so, but a trick they’ve learned is pro-
posing a larger development than they
really want so they can scale it back to “meet
the needs of the com-
munity” and get some-
thing that will still
make them money. For
instance, a developer
could propose a six-
story hotel, then scale
it back to four floors
with a recessed top
floor to ensure shad-
ows will not affect the
neighbors and so there
will be fewer visitors
and less neighborhood
traffic. Everyone wins. The neighbors feel like
they fought the developer and got concessions.
The developer portends to be flexible and
responsive and city officials say they were a
responsible liaison between the business com-
munity and its residents.
No one on the San Carlos City Council will
ever admit to it, but they enacted a similar tactic
in their decision to go with a hybrid model for
fire services in which it will share management
with Redwood City yet pay for its own fire-
fighters. If the city only shared that option,
there’s no way the firefighters union would say
“sure, let’s do it.”
Enter Wackenhut. Putting a private fire serv-
ice on the table with its range of unknowns
made any other proposal palatable. Histrionics
aside over the company’s history and potential
for community harm (according to those
opposed) there were actual concerns about its
benefits package, pay scale, work hours and
how having a private contractor would affect
morale both in the department and in other city
departments. Besides, would San Carlos really
want to take such a step in privatizing such an
essential government service while also elimi-
nating any chance of creating a larger regional
department? The answer was no. At least for
now. The proposal is still on the table in case
negotiations with Redwood City don’t go well
as sort of a “nuclear option.”
Since the dissolution of the Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department became a foregone
conclusion one year ago, San Carlos city offi-
cials have been searching for alternatives.
Partnering with Redwood City in some capacity
made an abundance of sense, particularly since
there has been much effort put into a regional
group with Redwood City and San Mateo as
the primary movers and looking for willing
partners in between the two. But immediately
saying it would partner with Redwood City
would eliminate any negotiating position it had.
When an entreaty to Cal Fire was torpedoed
by union opposition in the fall, San Carlos was
left with no options for a backup plan. That’s
why it went to the county to see if it could con-
tract with Cal Fire through it and save the coun-
ty some money at the same time. However, the
county wanted little to do with it and instead
suggested it go back to the table with Belmont.
That exercise in futility came to a head last
week with no agreement while the Wackenhut
proposal was discussed Monday.
So, the city of San Carlos was able to get the
firefighters union to wiggle a bit on wages and
agree to a hybrid model the union was original-
ly reticent to support because firefighters sug-
gested it would be bad for morale to have fire-
fighters share management but be paid by indi-
vidual cities — creating a tiered system within
one organization.
By bringing Wackenhut to the table, the city
of San Carlos was able to move past being
spurned by both Cal Fire and the county and
move forward in negotiations with Redwood
City. By keeping the Wackenhut proposal close,
it is still able to get more than if it came to
negotiations without any alternative. City offi-
cials still can’t admit the private contract was
never a viable alternative while negotiations
over final details are under way. And even after
negotiations are over, they still won’t. But it’s
still an underlying negotiating ploy, and it is
proving to be effective.

Earnings drive stocks to new 2011 highs
By Matthew Craft
and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks jumped to
their highest levels in nearly three years
Tuesday thanks to signs that earnings are
rising for U.S. companies and con-
sumers are feeling more confident about
the economy. The Russell 2000, the
benchmark index of small companies,
neared a record high.
The new highs continue a historic
recovery in the stock market. Stock
indexes have more than doubled since
hitting a 12-year low in March 2009. The
fastest bull market since the 1950s has
now erased most of the losses stemming
from the financial crisis.
Investors who bought at the top of the
market in 2007 have now lost 4.2 per-
cent, including reinvested dividends.
Analysts predict stocks will continue to
rise if unemployment keeps falling and
global demand leads to more profit
growth.
The Standard and Poor’s 500 index —
the benchmark for most mutual funds —
reached its highest level since June
2008. It gained 11.99 points, or 0.9 per-
cent, to 1,347.24. It’s still 16 percent
below the record high of 1,565 it reached
in October 2007.

DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford posted

Amazon.com said Tuesday that its net
income fell 33 percent in the latest quarter,
a steeper drop than Wall Street expected as
the online retailer battles stronger compe-
tition from Wal-Mart and other rivals.
The numbers reflect the competitive
challenges for the world’s biggest online
retailer and the impact of higher costs of
expansion. Amazon’s expenses increased

marked a new high for the year, rising
115.49 points, or 0.9 percent, to
12,595.37. The Nasdaq composite rose
21.66 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,847.54.
The Russell 2000 rose 1 percent to
853.04, near the record high of 855.77
that it reached in July 2007.
Better-than-expected earnings reports
from companies ranging from airlines to
office products manufacturers helped
drive a broad rally that included all 10
company groups that make up the S&P
index. Industrial companies gained near-
ly 2 percent, the most of any group.
Delta Air Lines Inc. jumped 11 per-
cent after reporting a loss that was far
smaller than investors had expected.
Cummins Inc. gained 8 percent after
the engine maker raised its earnings
forecast for the year because of strong
demand. United Parcel Service Inc. rose
1 percent after raising its own earnings
estimate for the year.
“What we’re seeing now is a positive
reinforcement of the fact that demand is
rising around the world,” said Quincy
Krosby, chief market strategist at
Prudential Financial. That’s despite the
fact that some companies say rising
costs are hurting their profits, Krosby

What happens when you cross the
world’s largest social network with one
of the hottest business models in e-com-
merce? Facebook wants to find out.
Facebook is launching a deals pro-
gram Tuesday in five U.S. cities, follow-
ing on the popularity of Groupon and
other services that offer deep discounts
— for example: $50 worth of food at a
local eatery for $25.
By allowing small businesses to lever-
age the Internet while helping con-
sumers score great deals, these group-
couponing services have become some
of the fastest-growing businesses in the
world.
Facebook now wants a part of that. It
hopes to exploit its existing networks of
friends and family when it begins testing
world. And Ford is charging more for its
cars, helping offset higher commodity
costs.
Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday said its
profit jumped 22 percent to $2.6 billion
profit, its best first-quarter performance
since 1998. It was the company’s eighth
straight quarterly profit in its long climb
back from near-bankruptcy five years
ago.
Ford’s quarterly revenues rose 18 per-
cent to $33.1 billion, far higher than the
2011, including investments in order-ful-
fillment centers and new technologies.
Thomas Szkutak, the company’s chief
financial officer, attributed the higher
expenses to higher demand.
“We’re just seeing tremendous growth,
and because of that we’re having to
invest in a lot of capacity,” he said on a
conference call with reporters. He added
that Amazon’s international sales took a
hit from the deadly earthquake and
tsunami in Japan on March 11, which
also cut into Amazon’s profit.

SALT LAKE CITY — Wind or rain, cold or
snow, they’ll be ready.
Real Salt Lake fans are set to serenade their
team Wednesday night when it plays four-
time Mexican League champion Monterrey in
the second leg of a home-and-home CONCA-
CAF Champions League finals.
Granted, this is not Manchester United vs.
Real Madrid. But if RSL can hold its own
again against Monterrey, it will get a chance
in December to prove itself on the world
stage.
“We haven’t had that Lake Placid moment
for U.S. soccer,” RSL general manager Garth
Lagerwey said, referring to the 1980 “Miracle
on Ice” for the U.S. Olympic hockey team.
“That’s the opportunity we have in front of us.
We have an event to put the world on notice
that American soccer has taken another step
forward.”
The champion of CONCACAF — the soc-
cer group made up of North and Central
America and the Caribbean — will head to
Japan at the FIFA Club World Cup.
There, it would face five other confedera-
tion champions and the host nation. The last
three FIFA Club World Cup winners came
from Europe: Inter Milan, Barcelona and
Manchester United.
Real Salt Lake would be the first Major
League Soccer team to qualify under the
revamped format. D.C. United won the CON-
CACAF Champions League in 1998 and the
L.A. Galaxy in 2000 but neither title resulted
in a FIFA Club World Cup appearance.
RSL has precious little history on its side,
and not much money as well. RSL’s payroll
compared to that of Monterrey and possible
Club World Cup opponents is as low as the
temperatures forecast for Wednesday night.

Ford’s baserunning gives Giants win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Darren Ford scored on a
fielder’s choice in the 10th inning and came
home with the tying run as a pinch runner in
the eighth, helping the San Francisco Giants
snap a season-high four-game losing streak
with a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on
Tuesday night.
The Giants scored all their runs on plays that
did not involve a hit.
Ford, a rookie without a hit in the majors,
reached in the 10th when Nate Schierholtz —
who led off with a double — was thrown out
at third on Ford’s sacrifice attempt. But Ford
went from first to third on an errant pickoff
throw by Joel Hanrahan (0-1).
He scored on Freddy Sanchez’s grounder to
second, waiting until Neil Walker threw to first
before taking off for home and forcing an

errant throw by first base-
man Lyle Overbay.
In the eighth, Ford
entered as a pinch runner
and went from first to third
on Sanchez’s single. He
scored two batters later on
Buster Posey’s sacrifice fly
to tie the game at 2.
The Giants’ first run also
Darren Ford
came on a sacrifice fly —
Aubrey Huff drove in Aaron Rowand in the
sixth.
Sergio Romo (1-0) earned the win with a
perfect ninth.
Giants starter Matt Cain was charged with
two runs on four hits and a walk with six
strikeouts in six innings.
His only mistake was a 2-2 pitch in the sec-
ond to Jones, who hit his team-high fourth
home to right-center.
During the top of that inning, Andrew
McCutchen saved a run when he covered plen-
ty of ground in making a diving catch on a ball
hit by Miguel Tejada into the right-center gap.
The Pirates’ Charlie Morton — 2-12 with a
7.57 ERA last season — missed a chance at
surpassing his win total last season when San
Francisco scored in the eighth. Morton low-
ered his ERA to 3.00 by allowing a run on four
hits and three walks with six strikeouts.
The Pirates took a 2-1 lead with a two-out
run in the sixth. Matt Diaz walked, stole sec-
ond and scored on Overbay’s single.
Morton was lifted after Pablo Sandoval sin-
gled and Pat Burrell walked to lead off the sev-
enth.
Chris Resop came on and got Cody Ross
and Tejada to pop out to first baseman Overbay
in foul territory, and he struck out pinch-hitter
Mike Fontenot in an 11-pitch at-bat.
But the bullpen wasn’t as good the following
inning. Evan Meek allowed consecutive sin-
gles to start. After Joe Beimel got Aubrey Huff
to pop out with runners at first and third, Posey
lifted the sacrifice fly to left off of Jose Veras
to score Ford.
Notes: Giants LHP Barry Zito will see foot
specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte,
N.C., on Wednesday. Zito, who sustained a
mid-foot sprain April 16, had a cast removed
from his right foot Sunday. ... The Pirates

Angels’ rookie beats Oakland in debut

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM — Alexi Amarista hit a two-run
double on the third pitch he ever saw in the major
leagues and added a sacrifice fly, and Howie
Kendrick had three hits and scored three runs for
the Los Angeles Angels in an 8-3 victory over the
Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
Tyler Chatwood (2-1) pitched 5 1-3 innings and
allowed three runs on five hits, including Conor
Jackson’s first homer of the season with a man on
in the third. The Angels’ rookie right-hander
walked four and struck out one in a matchup of
pitchers who were not on major league rosters at
any time last season.
Brandon McCarthy (1-2) surrendered seven
runs and 14 hits over 5 1-3 innings in his fifth start,
raising his ERA from 2.10 to 3.57. The right-han-
der spent parts of five seasons in the majors with
Angels 8, A’s 3
the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers before
spending last season with Triple-A Oklahoma
City, and was on the disabled list three separate
times because of shoulder problems.
McCarthy signed with the A’s as a free agent in
December after making four starts in the
Dominican Winter League.
For the second straight night, Oakland’s Coco
Crisp was tagged out by shortstop Erick Aybar
after oversliding second base on what would have
been a successful headfirst steal attempt. This
time, it was after the Los Angeles native led off the
game with his fourth straight hit and 10th in four
games.
His next time up, Crisp hit a fielder’s choice
grounder and had to be lifted for a pinch-runner
after feeling some tightness in his left quad. In
Monday night’s 5-0 loss, the A’s had to pull left
fielder Josh Willingham from the game in the sixth
inning because of tightness in the left side of his
upper back. Willingham remains day to day.
With one out in the Angels’ second, Kendrick
hit a grounder in the hole off the glove of third
baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and legged out a
double as shortstop Cliff Pennington chased the
ball down in short left field. Peter Bourjos
chopped a single off the plate that Kouzmanoff
had no play on, putting runners at the corners, and
Amarista slapped a 1-1 pitch the other way into
the left field corner to drive in both.
After Oakland pulled ahead 3-2 with a run-scor-
ing groundout by David DeJesus and Jackson’s
homer, the Angels matched that three-spot in their
half of the third to regain the lead for good.
Bobby Abreu scored on a wild pitch after lead-
ing off with a single. Wells’ single off McCarthy’s
pitching hand drove in Torii Hunter, who doubled.
Wells was thrown out trying to steal, but Kendrick
followed with a more conventional double than his
first one, and Hank Conger made it 5-3 with an
RBI single.
The Angels tacked on two more in the fifth
when Bourjos followed Conger’s RBI double with
a triple. He hit another one in the eighth, his fourth
three-bagger of the season, and scored on
Amarista’s sacrifice fly.
Amarista started at second base one day after
his contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake.
He was the Angels’ minor league player of the
year in 2009, and was hitting .455 with 16 RBIs in
14 games this month before his promotion. Mark
Trumbo, the organization’s minor league player of
the year last season, got the night off to contem-
plate his 1-for-22 slump while Kendrick shifted
from second base to first.

Grizzlies put Spurs on brink of elimination

By Paul J. Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — So is this how the San
Antonio Spurs’ dynasty might end?
Not with Tim Duncan hoisting a fifth NBA
championship trophy — a scenario that
seemed wholly realistic just a month ago —
but with the top-seeded Spurs ousted in the
first round by the eighth-seeded Memphis
Grizzlies, a franchise that previously never
won a playoff game?
“We put ourselves in this position,” Duncan
said. “We gotta stay alive.”
Duncan meant this series. But the stakes for
him may go even further.
Duncan, at the end what became a terrible
35th birthday, spoke softly after Memphis
crushed the Spurs 104-86 on Monday in
Game 4, putting San Antonio on the brink of
becoming just the second No. 1 seed in NBA
history to lose a best-of-seven series in the
first round.
Drafting the obituary of
the Duncan era has been
something of a spring tra-
dition since 2008, a year
after San Antonio won the
last of its four champi-
onships. It remains prema-
ture to declare this the last
Tim Duncan run for the Spurs, whether
or not Memphis finishes
them off Wednesday.
Yet these Spurs won 61 games. They
secured home-court advantage throughout the
playoffs. They played quicker, became a little
younger this season and kept their Big 3 most-
ly healthy for the first time in years.
If it’s not the last run for the Spurs, at the
very least, they seem on the verge of squan-
dering a position Duncan may never see
again.
“We got a lot to lose,” Spurs guard Manu
Ginobili said. “We had an unbelievable sea-
son. We were the No. 1 seed in the league for
65, 70 games, playing unbelievable.”
None of that has mattered to Memphis.
“They’re the better team. They won 61
games, and we won 46 games,” Grizzlies
coach Lionel Hollins said. “Their record all
year long said they were the better team. As
I’ve always said, it doesn’t matter who is this
better team during the regular season. When
you get to the playoffs, each series you have to
be the better team.”
Hollins walked his players through a 25-
minute film session in Memphis before the
team left for San Antonio. So good a mood
was Hollins in, according to guard Tony
Allen, that the Grizzlies were bestowed with
rare praise from their coach while re-watching
their dismantling of the Spurs in the second
half of Game 4.
“That was a first,” Allen said.
Hollins is hardly the only one in Memphis
in high spirits: the city airport gave the team
charter plane a water-cannon send-off before
takeoff, before the Grizzlies possibly return
late Wednesday night with a spot in the
Western Conference semifinals.
“There’s not a media person standing
around that would’ve gone and put his house
and his paycheck on us being up 3-1,” Hollins
said Tuesday. “But that’s why you play the
games.”
Dallas is the only No. 1 seed to fall in the
first round since the series was expanded to
the best-of-seven format. That was in 2007,
when Golden State beat the Mavericks in six
games after Dallas coasted through the regular
season with 67 wins.
Only eight teams have rallied from a 3-1
deficit, Phoenix being the last in 2006. That
same year, the Spurs nearly joined the list
before losing Game 7 in overtime to Dallas,
despite Duncan going for 41 points and 15
rebounds.

MLS
Continued from page 11
“The colder the better,” midfielder Will
Johnson said.
The game is sold out, with 20,000-plus
seats quickly snapped up by season ticket-
holders at prices between $20 and $500. The
fans don’t care that Real Salt Lake is built
with castoffs rather than stars. They embrace
the concept.
RSL’s payroll for 26 players is roughly $2.6
million. David Beckham’s salary alone with
the L.A. Galaxy is $6.5 million, and he earns
another $15 million annually in endorse-
ments.
Monterrey, seeking its first continental
crown in its 66-year history, has several
national team members making more than $1
million.
As Johnson knows, money doesn’t always
buy happiness. He spent two-plus seasons
playing for a pair of Dutch teams but grew
tired of feeling alone. In Salt Lake, RSL is
tight-knit, as evidenced by a recent Easter
brunch where each player brought a dish.
Plus, Johnson knows where to go if he craves
great empanadas (Fabian Espindola’s) or
Jamaican jerk shrimp (Andy Williams’).
RSL captain Kyle Beckerman, who is sus-
pended for Wednesday’s game because he
picked up a second yellow card in CONCA-
CAF play last week, is one of Kreis’ highest-
paid players at $250,000 annually.
Kreis went from player to coach in the mid-
dle of the 2007 season. Rather than signing
big-name players, he went after those who
would sacrifice for a common purpose. Kreis
at the time was 34, the youngest MLS coach.
“It was just unheard of to ... drop him into
the middle of that abyss and hope he can
swim,” said RSL color analyst Brian Dunseth,
a former RSL player and captain of the U.S.
team at the 2000 Olympics.
The traits that helped earn Kreis league
MVP honors as a striker for the Dallas Burn
(now FC Dallas) served him well as a coach.
“He definitely wasn’t the superstar ... and
he’s never been a million-dollar player, but he
was a guy who earned every single opportuni-
ty he’s had,” Dunseth said.
Kreis guided RSL to the MLS Cup in 2009,
his second full season as coach. Now he has
the players and fans aiming higher.
Last week, RSL played Monterrey to a 2-2
tie. The two away goals mean RSL advances
to the FIFA Club World Cup with a win, 1-1
or scoreless tie. The game would go into over-
time and possibly penalty kicks if it ends in a
2-2 tie. Monterrey would advance outright
with a victory or 3-3 tie or greater.
Monterrey figures to be dangerous, certain-
ly if Chilean striker Humberto Suazo is
healthy. However, it must overcome the loss
of striker Aldo de Nigris, who is out with
accumulated yellow cards.
Monterrey also must overcome a passionate
crowd that is expected to be clad in red. RSL
is unbeaten in its last 37 games at Rio Tinto —
a far cry from those days at the University of
Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium, on artificial turf
with football yard markers still painted on the
field.
Kreis can already picture Wednesday
night’s ending.
“To lift the trophy in front of a sellout
crowd, screaming for us, that’s the stuff
dreams are made of,” he said.

Varady — to work out of trouble all game
long. Jepsen escaped bases loaded, one-out
situations in the first and sixth innings, while
Varady wiggled out of the same scenario in
the fourth. CSM had runners at third with one
out in the first, fourth, sixth and seventh
innings, but Varady weathered those frames.
CSM shortstop Lindsay Handy and third
baseman Samantha Pacheco were absolute
vacuums at their positions, while center field-
er Annabel Hertz made the play of the game
when she raced in and made a headlong div-
ing catch to end the second inning.
CSM’s last best chance to score came in the
gled to center and, after getting the count to 2-
1, Jepsen was walked intentionally following
a Morgan Elkins sacrifice bunt. Callie
Pacheco moved the runners to second and
third with a sacrifice bunt, but Samantha
Pacheco hit a comebacker to Varady, who
threw to first to end the inning.
In the bottom half of the seventh, the
Bulldogs finally blinked. While Candace
Christiansen’s bloop single to shallow center
field didn’t go into the scorebook as an error,
it was miscommunication between shortstop
Handy and center fielder Hertz that allowed
the ball to fall in. Handy broke back on the
ball and Hertz hustled in. Both were afraid of
colliding and the ball dropped between them
for a single.
“We have to do a better job commu-
nicating,” Borg said. “That ball
It turned out to be the biggest hit of the
game because the next batter, No. 9 hitter
Ashley Vignola, followed with the hardest hit
Ohlone ball of the game. On a 2-2 pitch, she
turned on a Jepsen offering and rifled it into
the right-center field gap.
The ball was destined to be a hit, but when
CSM left fielder Ashley Rincon slipped on her
first step, the ball skipped all the way to the
fence. Christiansen hustled around the bases
and scored the game-winning run without
even drawing a throw to the plate.
The run made a hard-luck loser of Jepsen,
who battled the entire game from the pitcher’s
circle. The Santa Clara University-bound
Jepsen did everything in her power to get the
win — from allowing just four hits to going 2
for 3 at the plate and reaching base in all three
of her at-bats.
“She’s given us a chance to win every game
(this season).”
The silver lining for the Bulldogs is the fact
they have at least two more games to play in
the Northern California playoffs, beginning
next weekend. Until then, however, they will
have to wonder what could have been.
Everyone, that is, except Borg.
“I don’t do ‘What ifs.’ I’ll go insane. If
you’re best is not good enough, you tip your
cap to the other team,” Borg said. “I wanted it

in the Western Conference final by Chicago. The Sharks won
three of four regular season games against both teams this season.
“It’s going to be a grind,” forward Dany Heatley said. “This
series was a grind and it’s only going to get tougher. We’ll take the
days (off) when we can get them and come out harder in Game 1
of round 2.”
There were some issues that arose in the first round that San
Jose will have to solve. The Sharks were outscored 8-1 in the
opening period by a Kings team missing leading scorer Anze

Farm-to-table Sheep growers benefit from low supply
is fine; what
about waste?
By Kelly Dinardo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Much has been made of the farm-to-table
restaurant movement. But what happens to all
the food that ends up uneaten at the table?
In what you might call a burgeoning table-
to-farm movement, a small but growing num-
ber of companies are being launched around
the country to answer that question, to help
restaurants deal with the ecologically and eco-
nomically expensive problem of food waste
by composting it.
“The restaurant business is an incredibly
wasteful business,” says Peter Egelston,
owner of Portsmouth Brewery restaurant in
Portsmouth, N.H. “We generally put more
food in front of people than they can eat in one
sitting. If it’s not going home in a doggie bag,
it seems like we should send it where it will
have new life.”
And so two years ago Egelston’s brewery
began composting with the help of
EcoMovement, a company that hauls food
waste from about 40 restaurants in the region
and takes it to be composted.
Composting — a natural process in which
food and other organic scraps are decomposed
into fertile soil — has long been a mainstay of
farms and backyards. But few restaurants have
the space or time to compost their own waste.
And so they typically pay to have it disposed

LUBBOCK, Texas — In his 33 years rais-
ing sheep in West Texas, Glen Fisher has
never seen it so good.
Demand by U.S. consumers is up, imports
are down and prices have soared.
“You have almost what you can call a per-
fect storm,” said Fisher, 64, who has about
3,100 animals on his acreage near Sonora.
“The great part is we have record prices for
lambs — the highest ever by a whole lot.”
Last year’s May delivery of lamb fetched
about $1.39 a pound; this year the price is
around $2.20 a pound, said Fisher, the imme-
diate past president of American Sheep
Industry Association.
Lamb numbers far outstrip those for mut-
ton. In 2010 about 156 million pounds of
lamb was slaughtered at federal and state
inspected plants, compared with about 11
million pounds of mutton.
About 30 percent of lamb is purchased
near Easter and Christmas, and consumers
this year likely have noticed the increased
cost at supermarkets and nontraditional mar-
kets that cater to people of Hispanic decent
and those from Middle Eastern and African
countries who live in urban areas of the
Midwest and Northeast.
The price is so high that Abbas Ammar,
whose family owns two restaurants and a
meat market in Dearborn, Mich., won’t carry
it in the market. And he tells the restaurant’s
wait staff to steer customers away from lamb.
“Eat something else, pay less, enjoy,” said
Ammar, who refuses to sell it in his market at
$7 a pound.
“I want to give a quality product for a low

overs happen to be in the refrigerator, slap
them between flour tortillas, then toast and
be done.
Or else I start with one idea for the filling,
but get overwhelmed by the choices and just
keep piling them on. By the time I’m done,
dinner resembles more deep dish pizza than
quesadilla.
But this dish is such a weeknight-friendly
meal, it seemed worth putting a bit more
thought into it. Quesadillas are fast, easy to
prepare and — assuming you get the flavors
and textures right — delicious.
One of the tricks to a great quesadilla is
getting the fillings cooked without overcook-
ing the tortillas surrounding them. Which
means cooking raw fillings separately is
essential, even though it adds a step to the
process. It’s worth it.
While I like the bite of hot Italian sausages
in this recipe, use whichever variety you pre-
fer.

they’re also thinning the supply of homes —

In comparison, the median price of a home

But as the supply of cheap homes shrinks,
prices stabilize. Homeowners who had put off
moving because they didn’t want to sell during
the downturn grow confident that they can fetch
a decent price. That prompts more buying and
selling. Prices rise more.

Keep seafood healthy and crunchy without frying
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seafood has lots of offer a healthy diet.
Much of it is lean, and even the fattier vari-
eties are loaded with the so-called good fats.
Keeping it healthy is all a matter of how
you cook it. Poaching and steaming are good
techniques because they highlight flavors
and preserve moistness without adding much
fat.
If you’re going to saute, opt for healthier
fats (such as nut or olive oils) and a nonstick
skillet so you can use less of them.
You’d think it would be best to avoid crispy
fish because it would involve deep-frying, but
this recipe for baked catfish po’boys with
Cajun remoulade (similar to tartar sauce)
turns that notion on its head.
To start with, catfish fillets — which are an
environmentally friendly, farm-raised
seafood choice — are marinated in hot sauce-
spiked buttermilk, which adds a layer of fla-
vor while helping to tone down the muddy
undertones catfish can sometimes have.
The fillets then are dredged in a seasoned
blend of cornmeal fish fry mix, which can be
found in the seafood section of most grocers,
before being misted with a bit of olive oil
cooking spray and “oven-fried” to crispy,
golden perfection.
Our lighter take on the traditionally deep-
fried po’boy fish sandwich is finished off
with crispy French bread slathered with a
low-fat remoulade, and a hearty amount of
shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. If you
like, instead of the lettuce you can substitute

the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of the mustard,
2 teaspoons of the hot sauce and 1 teaspoon
of the Cajun seasoning. Add the catfish fillets,
turning to coat them with the mixture. Cover
the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for
at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in another shallow dish or
bowl, whisk together the cornmeal fish fry
mix, 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning, and
the salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make the remoulade, in small bowl
whisk together the mayonnaise,
Worcestershire, the remaining 1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard and the remaining 1 teaspoon
each of hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Set
aside or cover and refrigerate if using later.
When ready to cook the fish, heat the broil-
er. Use the cooking spray to lightly coat a
wire rack large enough to hold the fish in a
single layer. Place the rack on a baking sheet.
Remove the fish from the refrigerator and
turn each fillet in the buttermilk mixture to
recoat. Transfer to the cornmeal mixture,
turning the fillets to coat completely. Lightly
mist the fillets on both sides with the cooking
spray and place on the prepared rack (they
should not touch).
Broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3
minutes, then carefully flip the fillets and
broil for another 3 minutes, or until the fish is
opaque at the center.
Assemble the po’boy sandwiches by
spreading the cut side of each piece of bread
with the reserved sauce. On the bottom half
of each bread section, layer with a catfish
filet, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and the
top piece of bread. Serve immediately.

die-hard fans were already camping out.

cussed the discrepancy between city
records and what was paid to Jaeck, who
left the city in 2008 making an annual
salary of $195,000. However, Jaeck’s
explanation last night showed a greater
amount of money not paid to him by the
city.
Jaeck worked with five other former
top-tier employees to explore the city’s
questions and create the Tuesday night
presentation which he said showed the
city had not paid him more than
$39,000. One could argue the city owes
him, he said.
“I don’t think that’s right either. I think
I was treated fairly,” he said.
Jaeck attributed the miscommunica-
tion to a number of factors.
First, the records rely on a number of
timelines. The city, for example, keeps
records by calendar year and fiscal year.
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Clarion Hotel and Safeway — two large
revenue producers.
Millbrae employees will be asked to
extend salary concessions agreed to for
this year — 4.3 percent to 5 percent
reduction — as part of a plan to reduce
costs next year when the city will work
with a projected $18.08 million general
fund budget. In addition, each depart-
ment was asked to make a 5 percent
reduction from its total budget. For most
departments, the bulk of the savings will
come from cuts to supplies, said City
Manager Marcia Raines. Millbrae fore-
casts $17.79 million in expenditures, if
employee concessions are reached, with
a $2 million reserve, according to
reports by Finance Director LaRae
Brown.
The reserve was of concern as the
Clarion Hotel will most likely close for
HYBRID

Protection Agency. When coupled with
the increased depreciation value of
hybrid vehicles, the county may be off-
setting any fuel consumption savings
from choosing that type, the jury found.
The county began buying hybrids in
part based on a 2003 study on the Public
Works Fleet Management Division
which concluded they would consume
less fuel, produce lower emissions and
generate “substantial” savings.
Specifically, the study by the
Controller’s Office held that over the
estimated seven-year life span of the
hybrid, the county saved $1,764 over a
comparable non-hybrid due to fuel and
maintenance costs.
Fleet vehicles are replaced at 100,000
miles or seven years of service for small
cars and 100,000 or 10 years for larger
vehicles, whichever comes first.

nalists expected to cover Friday’s nup-

inside piles of scaffolding pipes to make
sure no bombs were hidden.
To enhance security in the area,

in connection with alleged public

against government cuts last month —
have been barred from entering the
Westminster area, for fear that they
may cause trouble during the wed-
Jaeck’s contract year began in October
and the city’s biweekly pay means the
number of payments made annually can
vary from 25 to 27.
Second, Jaeck noted a change in lead-
ership made it difficult to track changes.
A large portion of the error was attrib-
uted to a deferred compensation contri-
bution. Jaeck opted out of medical bene-
fits until 2008. Until then, the city was to
contribute $8,000 annually to the
employee, which Jaeck noted wasn’t in
the city’s formula. That alone accounted
for $32,000, he said. A restructuring in
benefits for managers in 2007 resulted in
a pay boost and Jaeck estimated that to
include a $7,200 understatement for his
compensation.
Other issues included having percent-
ages in contracts rather than dollar
amounts, Jaeck said.

closures is unknown.
Councilwoman Nadia Holober was
optimistic about sales tax, noting the
need for items purchased at Safeway
won’t go away just because the store is
temporarily closed.
The council discussed the budget dur-
ing a study session Tuesday. It is the sec-
ond of four meetings on the topic and the
council will revisit the conversation with
a focus on revenue-generating opportu-
nities May 10. A decision is expected by
May 26.
A 5 percent across-the-board reduc-
tion was requested. Most departments
cut supplies and a savings of about
$450,000 is anticipated. Some services
are also being considered. The police
department, for example, currently has
counter hours on Saturday morning
which allows residents to stop in, ask
questions or get reports. That could stop
Since 2002, the Public Works
Department has bought 200 compact
sedans — either a Toyota Prius or Honda
Civic — and seven Ford Escape SUVs
with a hybrid power train.
Since the study, though, the jury said
there is substantially more information on
hybrids’ trade-in values and depreciation
costs compared to traditional vehicles.
Some non-hybrids also meet California’s
green designation and EPA 35-mpg esti-
mate, such as the Chevrolet Cobalt, Cruze
and Malibu; the Honda Civic, Accord and
Fit; the Ford Fusion, Focus and Fiesta and
the Toyota Camry, Corolla and Yaris.
The 2011 base price of a hybrid
Toyota Prius is $7,280 more than a com-
parable non-hybrid Toyota Corolla and
the hybrid Honda Civic costs $5,395
more than the non-hybrid counterpart.
Because the county does not pay income
taxes, it does not qualify for federal tax
credits.
Depreciation values also showed a
wide difference, according to the jury’s
research. The hybrid depreciation for

ding, police said.
Workmen also delivered some surpris-
ing wedding floral decorations to the
abbey. Instead of flowers, five men hoist-
ed an 18-year-old potted maple tree
inside. In all, six field maples and two
hornbeams will form an “avenue of
trees” lining the aisle leading up to the
altar.
“These wonderful curved ceilings are
supposed to reflect the branches of trees
and that was what I thought of when I
thought of having trees in the abbey,”
said florist Shane Connolly.
continue to do the exercise,” she said,
adding maybe it’s best at this point to cut
losses and move on.
A Feb. 11 letter from City Attorney
Joan Cassman to Jaeck noted the gap
between the books and payment and
requested a response. According to a
March 11 letter to Jaeck from Mayor
Dan Quigg, the two missed each other’s
phone calls and were therefore unable to
reach any kind of agreement on the mat-
ter.
Jaeck responded in a March 14 email
regretting that the matter had gotten to
this point. He called a lawyer who sug-
gested he not do the legwork to prove he
wasn’t overpaid but he decided to do so
anyway.
Quigg thanked Jaeck for making the
trip from Nevada and promised to look
over the numbers and information pro-
vided by him. Both Quigg and Jaeck
expressed regrets in how the situation
was handled.
“Next time you send me a message,”
Jaeck said. “It might be nice to send a
Christmas card first.”
as of July 1 under the budget proposal.
The budget also relies on employees
extending concessions agreed to for the
current year.
Most employee groups reduced their
compensation this year by 4.3 percent in
various ways while management took a
5 percent cut.
Employee groups arrived at the cuts
differently this year. Sanitation Workers
Association and Teamsters Local 856,
for example, both agreed to furloughs,
83 hours and 96 hours, respectively, dur-
ing the current fiscal year. Both also
agreed to salary freezes. Sanitation
workers, effective Oct. 3, forfeit uniform
allowances.
Police did not receive compensatory
time off for overtime this year. Before
that change, police employees who work
overtime could choose if they wanted to
be paid for it or take the time off at the
same rate. Now, they only received over-
time pay for overtime worked. This was
hoped to save in overtime costs.
Numbers for overtime costs this year
have yet to be finalized.
2003 models with mileage up to 99,000
range from $3,970 to $4,465 more than a
conventional powered vehicle, accord-
ing to the Kelly Blue Book for January
through March of 2011. The 2003 report
may have overestimated the trade-in
value by 23 percent, the jury found.
The jury, however, did not launch its
own detailed and technical study of the
operational costs which is what it
believes the Board of Supervisors should
undertake. Board President Carole
Groom could not be reached for com-
ment on whether the Board of
Supervisors may agree and commission
such a study.
The jury also recommends the county
develop a new policy for retiring vehi-
cles based on mileage rather than the
100,000 miles or seven-year maximum
currently used.
Grand jury reports carry no legal
weight but recipients must respond in
writing within 90 days.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)—This is not going to be
a good day for you if you decide to take a gamble on
something you know to be risky. Don’t blindly follow
a pal into dangerous waters. You’ll both founder.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)—Go ahead and be
self-serving, but know there will be a price to pay. In

the bag.

to partner up with than you, and someone who

cooperative spirit. Watch you haunches.
