Odyssey School in San

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo’s Odyssey School

established a special relationship
with a sister school in Japan a
decade ago.
Last October, about 10 girls from
Sendai, Japan came to visit San
Mateo and the students at Odyssey,
which solidified the relationship for
a group of current students here.
News of the devastating earthquake
and tsunami hit home and spurred
the creation of the Tokiwagi Sendai
Quake Odyssey Relief Fund.
Hiroshi Imase, the Japanese
teacher at Odyssey, sent an e-mail to
the school’s Tokiwagi contacts
immediately. He wanted to send
well wishes but also see if every-
thing is OK. The school of 1,000
hasn’t yet been able to contact all of
the girls, but Imase remains hopeful
they were simply evacuated.
Thirteen-year-old Maru Streets is
concerned about the students he met
who stayed here late last year. Some
of them lived closer to the coast, he
said.
“It kind of worries everyone,” said
Streets, who has e-mailed those he
knows but has yet to hear anything.
Eighth grade student A.J. Qiu
agreed.
“It was kind of sudden,” said Qiu,

Agency says counts distorted

The U.S. Census Bureau released
data last week indicating the

agency based in Massachusetts is
challenging the way the bureau

State plans to fine utility

Wednesday they plan to fine Pacific

Be Bryce’s marrow match
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Thirteen-year-old Bryce Vaysberg noticed
some red dots on his feet in January.
It seemed strange, so the San Mateo teen
went to the doctor with his family. Doctors
thought it was one thing, but realized his
platelets were down. Last month more tests
showed it was Aplastic Anemia, a rare condi-
tion that causes the bone marrow to stop mak-
ing enough red blood cells, white blood cells
and platelets for the body. While Vaysberg, an
eighth grader at Borel Middle School, recent-
ly finished a chemotherapy treatment, chances
are he’ll need a bone marrow transplant in the
future. A bone marrow drive was scheduled in
his honor from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at
Peninsula Temple Sholom, 1655 Sebastian
Drive in Burlingame.
“It’s not really just for me. It’s mostly for
other people. Me, I’m just a person, but I
could help 1 million,” he said.
Vaysberg thinks his diagnosis came as a
way for him to help others who can’t have
drives find possible bone marrow donors.
Only 30 percent of patients find donor
matches from a relative, according with the
National Bone Marrow Donor Program web-
site. The remaining 70 percent have a better
chance of finding a match with a person who
is the same race and ethnicity because tissue
types are inherited.
Vaysberg’s life has changed a bit in recent
months. He’s spent time at the hospital and is
currently at home as his immune system is
weakened.
The beginning was difficult, said his mother
Elyse Vaysberg. He’s gone from wanting to
know nothing to doing whatever it takes to be
fully prepared, she said.
“He’s always been such a great kid,” said
Elyse.
Vaysberg is the oldest of three children,
with an 11-year-old brother named Drew and
a 5-year-old sister named Brooke. He loves

skateboarding, snowboarding and baseball —
all of which he’s unable to participate in at the
moment. But there is still one passion avail-
able to occupy his time, playing the drums.
He took up drums a few years ago and now
plays in the school jazz band. Donning head-
phones, Vaysberg practices in his room. Soon
he’ll start home schooling. He’s hoping Ms.
Orta, who has an after-school tutoring pro-
gram Vaysberg attends, will be able to fill the
role. She’s been supportive through the diag-
nosis and treatment, said Elyse.
In the meantime, Vaysberg and his friends
and family have been generating support for
the drive.
“Anyone, no matter where you live, can reg-
ister,” said April Glatt, who is helping organ-
ize Sunday’s drive.

Murder defendant Accomplice imprisoned in fatal drug robbery
returned for trial
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Millbrae man hospitalized as
incompetent before standing trial
for allegedly shooting his friend in
2008 and leaving the man’s body
inside a car parked on a residential
Burlingame street is now fit to aid in
his own defense against murder
charges, according to state hospital
doctors.
The finding returned Teyseer Zaid
“Terry” Najdawi, 27, to San Mateo
County for prosecution in the death
of Jack Chu, 27, who was discov-
ered days after his death not far
from the Burlingame home of the
defendant’s mother. Najdawi was
indicted before he was found incom-
petent, meaning he heads straight to
trial without a preliminary hearing
unless a San Mateo County Superior
Court judge disagrees with the hos-
pital doctors’ conclusions.
On Wednesday, Najdawi appeared
in court for the first time since his
return and was ordered back April 1
for further proceedings, said prose-
cutor Al Giannini.
Those pro-
ceedings could
be a defense
request for fur-
ther evaluation
of the competen-
cy claim or, as
Giannini hopes,
the setting of a
Terry Najdawi jury trial date.
Defense attor-
ney Jonathan McDougall said he is
not sure if he will fight the compe-
tency decision because he has yet to
evaluate the report. Najdawi, mean-
while, remains in custody without
bail.
Najdawi is charged with nine
felonies including charges of mur-
der, the use of a firearm and illegal
firearm possession in Chu’s July 10,
2008 death and attempted murder
for allegedly attacking his cellmate
at the Maguire Correctional Facility.
Prosecutors also tacked on four
felony counts of fraud stemming
from Najdawi allegedly stealing his
brother’s credit card for use the

The South San Francisco man
who set up his friend in a drug rob-
bery turned fatal was sentenced yes-
terday to 25 years to life in prison as
part of a plea deal with prosecutors
that required him to testify against
the actual shooter.
Neil Prakash Chand, 21, escaped
trial for murder and a possible life
without parole term by pleading no
contest and agreeing to testify
against Jimmy Nabong. Nabong
was convicted last month of first-
degree murder, robbery and a spe-
cial allegation making him eligible
for life without parole or 50 years to
life in prison.
Prior to sentencing, Chand apolo-
gized to the family of victim
Shivnesh Reddy and said he hoped
they could one day forgive him, said
prosecutor Al Giannini.
Chand took his deal in late
January but sentencing was delayed
until after Nabong’s trial to ensure
the man testified truthfully about the
events leading to the Oct. 29, 2008
death of his friend, Reddy. Reddy,
21, thought Chand was helping him
set up the sale of $3,000 worth of
marijuana.
Instead, Chand
plotted to rob
him and enlisted
two others to
help. One of
those men, John
La Pierre,
brought Nabong
who picked up
Neil Chand
Reddy with
Chand and brandished a .380
weapon. He told
Reddy, sitting in the back seat, he
was taking the marijuana and the
victim reportedly said he’d have to
shoot him instead. Nabong shot him
once and dumped the dying man on
the ground on the 600 block of First
Street.
Using the license plate written
down by a suspicious neighbor,
police tracked and arrested Chand
Oct. 30, 2008 while he was getting

During Nabong’s trial, defense

“This is just not the kind of individ-

ments, further characterizing Chand
as visiting the Reddy family to offer
condolences even though he was
involved in their loved one’s death.
Prosecutor Al Giannini agreed
Chand wouldn’t hesitate to lie if it
benefited himself but told jurors his
version of events matches the evi-
dence and testimony of Reddy’s for-
mer girlfriend who said he admitted
shooting Reddy during a robbery.
Giannini also told jurors that
Chand’s plea deal does not guaran-
tee him freedom from prison but
merely offers him hope of release
after a minimum 25 years.
Although Chand did not personal-
ly pull the trigger, he is considered
liable for Reddy’s death under
California law. The felony murder
rule holds that all participants in a
felony are responsible for any death
that occurs as a result.
Nabong remains in custody with-
out bail and will be sentenced May
6. Because Nabong was 17 at the
time of the crime, Judge Cliff
Cretan has the discretion to dismiss
the special allegation of murder dur-
ing commission of another felony.
Doing so will sentence Nabong to
50 years to life in prison rather than
life without parole.

Blue Shield of California
cancels proposed rate hike
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Blue Shield of California said
Wednesday it was withdrawing its plan to increase health
insurance rates for individual policyholders in what would
have been the third such rate hike since October.
The three hikes combined would have raised rates by as
much as 87 percent for some of its 200,000 policyholders,
according to the California Department of Insurance.
Blue Shield decided to nix the planned May 1 increase to
help keep coverage affordable, chief executive Bruce Bodaken
said in a statement. Blue Shield has said rising health care
costs forced the previous rate hikes. The San Francisco-based
nonprofit said it lost $27 million on individual policies last
year and expects more such losses this year.
Members will be spared $35 million to $40 million in added
premiums because of the cancelled increase, the insurer said.
“By agreeing not to raise rates this year, we are helping to
make coverage more affordable for our members during tough
economic times,” Bodaken said. “It’s a financial risk for us,
but a risk that’s worth taking.”
Feds deploying radiation
monitors in western U.S.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — More radiation monitors are being
deployed in the western United States and Pacific territories, as
officials seek to mollify public concern over exposure from dam-
aged nuclear plants in Japan, federal environmental regulators
said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency already moni-
tors radiation throughout the area as part of its RadNet system,
which measures levels in air, drinking water, milk and rain.
The additional monitors are being deployed in response to the
ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan, where emergency workers are
attempting to cool overheated reactors damaged by last week’s
magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami.

Food prices on the rise
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans
are noticing higher prices at the gro-
cery store, and it’s about to get
worse.
Food prices at the wholesale level
rose last month by the most in 36
years. Cold weather accounted for
most of it, forcing stores and restau-
rants to pay more for green peppers,
lettuce and other vegetables, but
meat and dairy prices surged, too.
The big questions are how long
food prices will keep rising and how
high they’ll go.

Russ Cohen, a former Burlingame coun-

rail group led by Burlingame Mayor Terry
Nagel. The San Mateo Cities Rail
Corridor Partnership is composed of offi-

Redwood City, Millbrae and South San
Francisco who want to find common ground
when it comes to how the trains will one
day travel up the Peninsula. It is one thing
when city managers share their thoughts
and ideas related to rail but something else
entirely when elected officials get involved,
Cohen said. It looks like it is politically
motivated, Cohen said, since Nagel is run-
ning for a county supervisor’s seat. The
Peninsula Cities Consortium is where the
discussions should take place, Cohen said.
The PCC was formed nearly two years ago
by officials in Palo Alto, Menlo Park,
Atherton, Burlingame and Belmont. To start
another duplicative group doesn’t make any
sense, Cohen said.

Colma casino owner arrested
The owner of a Colma casino and his

Medina was also accused of evading his
personal income taxes. His niece and
nephew were indicted on conspiracy charges.
Medina reportedly deducted about $2.6
million in bogus business expenses from the

C
alifornia government is $26

members of the Legislature
still have managed to introduce 2,300
bills having nothing to do with resolv-
ing the state’s staggering budget crisis.
There are, for example, bills that
would revise the definition of extra vir-

Yet another would require that animal
shelters not be called dog pounds, and
dictates that instead of saying an
unwanted animal is going to be killed,
it would be “humanely euthanized.”
There’s even a bill mandating that
fewer bills be introduced.
Does any of this have anything to do

No. Is there a way to get lawmakers

the trivial stuff until another time? Yes,
and more about that in a moment.

Editor,
Cargill developer DMB wants
Redwood City to approve a huge new
town of over 30,000 people, located
below sea-level, on the salt ponds.
After the horrific and graphic images
of earthquake-caused waves in Japan’s
recent earthquake, it would be uncon-
scionable for public officials to consid-
er putting more residents in harm’s
way, below sea level, behind 10-foot
tall levees. The Bay is between two
major earthquake faults. A quake below
the Bay could cause a similar disaster.
San Mateo County already has the
unfortunate distinction of having the
most residents in danger from levee
failure and flooding, than any other
county in the Bay Area. We have

force lawmakers to focus, which former
Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg man-
aged to do during the energy crisis in
2000-01.
Lawmakers in those sessions were
messing around with the usual array of
meaningless bills, even as rolling black-
outs darkened much of central and
Southern California.
Hertzberg used his position of power
to set a strict limit on the number of
bills a lawmaker could introduce, shut
down committees whose members
spent endless days talking about noth-
ing of consequence, assigned those
committee members into groups, each
one assigned to solving a segment of
the power problem — and the net result
was that the energy issues were
resolved, with the bonus benefit of
showing investors on Wall Street that
California government was, after all, of
serious intent.
Hertzberg said earlier this week that
same strategy from a decade ago would
work in resolving the current budget
crisis — but someone will need to cor-
ral wandering lawmakers, make them
concentrate on budgeting and oversight,
and not much else.
Because here’s what will happen if
the governor and Legislature can’t
solve the budget puzzle:
15 edition of the Daily Journal, “The
reality of the Redwood City Saltworks
proposal,” David Smith repeatedly
attacks Save The Bay for not having a
real solution for the Cargill salt flats in
Redwood City.
For a sizable number of Redwood
City’s citizens, DMB’s project brings
real solutions alright ... to DMB’s and
Cargill’s bottom lines. To the people
who live here, this project will only
bring traffic congestion to Highway
101 at a point that is already a horrible
bottleneck by putting tens of thousands
more drivers into our city; urban sprawl
instead of intelligent infill and higher
density close to existing transit servic-
es; and a legacy of destroying one of
the last restorable spaces on the Bay so
an out-of-state developer and a giant
multinational corporation can make
some more money.
Oh yes, and about those levees,
we’ve seen in New Orleans and now in
Japan just how well these and other
engineering solutions like sea walls
protect people. No thanks.

OPINION
The state will stay trapped in its
downward spiral, partisan politics will
continue to rip apart government, the
legislative situation will further destabi-
lize, opening the door to special-inter-
est groups whose paymasters will
hijack the lawmaking process with a
barrage of ballot initiatives.
Legislatures in recent years seem
hell-bent on self-destruction, a condi-
tion that is exacerbated each year with
a new wave of frivolous bills.
We understand why lawmakers hand
out legislation like candy at a Mardi
Gras parade — it gives them a high-
profile presence, and a loaded resume
when they run for re-election. Look at
all the legislation we introduced. We’re
busy and relevant.
The fact that much of the legislation
is hopelessly superfluous doesn’t seem
to matter. And as long as they’re pulling
down the salary, perks and per diem,
what’s a few wasted days in the legisla-
tive process?
We ask the party leaders in both the
Assembly and Senate to start cracking
the whip, do what Hertzberg did in the
face of the energy crisis — force elect-
ed leaders to actually lead, by focusing
on the only legislation that truly matters
right now, dealing with a massive budg-
et deficit.
California doesn’t need a new defini-
tion for extra virgin olive oil, or another
Cuss Free Week.
Not an open process
Editor,
David Smith, senior vice president
for developer DMB Associates, says
that the environmental impact report
should be allowed as part of an open
process for the Saltworks (“The reali-
ty of Redwood City Saltworks pro-
posal” guest perspective in the March
15 edition of the Daily Journal).
The problem with the EIR in
California is that it is geared toward
an army of lawyers. It generates
enough material to stock a small
library, all of which needs to be care-
fully annotated and responded to in a
timely manner. If you are opposed to
a project, you may not even have one
lawyer and clearly no ability to
respond to a mountain of paper in the
format required. Thus it becomes a
means for large developers like DMB
to get all their ducks lined by against
the environment. It is the opposite of
an open process — this is a purchased
process whose format is severely lim-
ited by the tsunami of dollars shout-
ing down our political system.

The schooling
of little Lucia
W
ho knew that preschool could put the kibosh on
pre-law? Or, at least pre-law or pre-med or any
other degree at an Ivy League school. That is the
argument of one Manhattan mother who is suing her child’s
preschool for allegedly squashing the tyke’s chances at an
elite ivory tower.
Nicole Imprescia wants the York Avenue Preschool to
refund a $19,000 tuition bill and is trying to round up like-
minded parents for a class action suit claiming the private
institution failed to prepare other students for a standardized
test used for admission to the “right” private school
That’s right — Imprescia says her daughter may already
have her chances dashed because the school didn’t start off
her academic career on the
right foot and dared to have 4-
year-old geniuses like little
Lucia learn about shapes and
colors with the 2-year-olds.
Quelle horreur! At least,
that’s what Lucia would say
had the school bothered to
teach her French rather than
circles and shades. The school,
the suit argues, was nothing
but “just one big playroom.”
Um, isn’t that what preschool
essentially is? Or maybe the
child already nailed those
skills in nursery school. Or,
more likely, the womb. The type of parent who would spend
that much on preschool probably doesn’t wait until birth to
put the child on the fast track. Granted, if the school claims
it separates out kids by ages, that’s false advertising. But
claiming three weeks — how long it took for the mom to
yank the daughter out of playtime — hanging out with
shapes and colors is going to commit the kid to a lifetime of
deep-frying is a bit much.
Actually, reports of the suit say the students do get lessons
in French and math along with the bit of playtime which
makes the argument that a little bit of kicking back with the
youngsters is detrimental even more ludicrous.
I concede not having first-hand knowledge of the pre-
school dilemmas. I never went, which some might argue is
the reason my columns are often met with a big fat “Huh?”
The right preschool would undoubtedly have delivered me to
a vocation of much higher social standing than scribe. I also
have not had to choose the right preschool for children. The
closest I’ve gotten so far is obviously choosing the wrong
obedience classes for an overly hyper Jack Russell puppy
who I think graduated on the basis of unbelievable cuteness
and instructor pity. He seemed to think every activity was
playtime and that’s when being taught something more chal-
lenging than blocks and color wheels. Imprescia would be
horrified.
Of course, I’d be horrified if I spent $19,000 on the equiv-
alent of a canine toddler. Actually, I’d be horrified if I spent
$19,000 on a human toddler.
Which brings me back to Imprescia. Who in the world
pays $19,000 before a child even knows how to tie his or her
shoelaces? The easy answer is people like her, who live in an
expensive community like New York and who, better or
worse, think they are doing well by their offspring.
But doing well and already planning to frame a Harvard
diploma before the kid hits puberty are two different things.
What if the little girl doesn’t want to go to the Ivy League or
even college? What if, forgive me, the girl isn’t the sharpest
crayon in the box and can’t get the grades or test scores
despite the hours of pre-kindergarten drilling? What if she
takes a page from “Teen Mom 2?” Imprescia better get her
legacy connections and hefty donations in order as a backup
plan.
A degree, too, is no guarantee of success although this suit
is not the only one to imply as much. A group of students is
suing the Cordon Bleu culinary program, claiming they were
led astray and left in debt after shelling out thousands in
tuition only to enter an industry whose starting hourly rate
can’t make a dent in their loan obligations. Is that so much
different than the preschool suit? A school should be held
accountable to standards, yes, but how do you promise a def-
inite placement, salary or even admission to a higher institu-
tion?
Even the “right” preschool or kindergarten can’t guarantee
an automatic domino effect into the right high schools and
college. Somewhere between shapes and blocks and Pomp
and Circumstance there are a million possible detours and a
thousand other bright and wonderful students vying for the
same position.
So maybe little Lucia will have to become the “right” per-
son without the “right” school.
And there’s nothing wrong with that at all.

Worsening nuclear crisis rattles financial markets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Financial markets
were jolted for a third day Wednesday by
fears that a partial meltdown may have
occurred at a nuclear plant in Japan.
Stocks erased nearly all of their gains for
the year.
The losses were broad. Each of the 30
stocks that make up the Dow Jones
industrial average fell, with IBM Corp.
and General Electric Co. losing the
most. All 10 company groups in the
Standard & Poor’s 500 index, the basis
for most U.S. mutual funds, lost ground.
Stocks dropped sharply in midmorn-
ing trading after the European Union’s
energy chief was quoted as saying that
Japan’s nuclear crisis could get worse.
Japan’s economy, the third-largest in the
world after the U.S. and China, accounts
for about 10 percent of U.S. exports.
Treasury prices jumped, sending
yields to their lowest levels this year as
investors piled into investments seen as
being more stable. One measure of stock
market volatility, the CBOE Market
Volatility Index, jumped 18 percent in a
sign that investors expect more wild
swings.
“Investors are moving away from any-
thing that has an element of risk with it
because they don’t know what’s happen-
ing in Japan,” said Bill Stone, chief
Wall Street
investment strategist at PNC Wealth
Management.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
242.12, or 2 percent, to 11,613.30. It was
the worst drop since Aug. 11. The Dow
has now lost 3.6 percent over the past
three days, its worst three-day loss since
last July.
The S&P index fell 24.99, or 1.9 per-
cent, to 1,256.88. The S&P is now down
0.1 percent for the year, having been up
as much as 6.8 percent in February.
When dividends are included, however,
the index has had a total return of 2.4
percent for the year, according to
FactSet.
The Nasdaq composite index fell
50.51 or 1.9 percent, to 2,610. It is now
down 1.4 percent for the year.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell as low as 3.15 percent, the lowest
level this year. In late trading the yield
edged up to 3.21 percent.
Japan temporarily suspended work at a
stricken nuclear plant after a surge in
radiation made it too dangerous for
workers to remain there. That came a
day after Japan’s prime minister said
four crippled reactors at a nuclear power
plant were leaking dangerous amounts
of radiation.

Stocks that moved substantially or traded
heavily Wednesday on the New York Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:

Gov’t panel issues mixed final verdict on bailouts
TARP findings
• The program reinforced the belief that large and interconnected
companies will enjoy government support in times of crisis.That could
encourage them to take unwise risks,eventually leading to another crisis
and more bailouts.
• By failing to be transparent about bailout decisions and goals,the
government fueled the public’s anger about the bailouts.That could tie
politicians’hands as they seek to respond to future crises.
• TARP cost less than expected,but part of the savings came from failed
foreclosure-prevention programs that spent a fraction of what Treasury
set aside.
• Much of the credit for stabilizing the financial system goes to other,
less-transparent programs run by the Federal Reserve and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The government’s bailout of banks, auto
makers and insurers helped prevent a more severe economic
crisis, but might have sowed the seeds of the next one, a con-
gressional watchdog group said Wednesday in its final report.
The Congressional Oversight Panel said that the govern-
ment’s rescue fund may have prevented an economic depres-
sion by sending billions of dollars to companies crippled in
financial crisis that erupted in 2008. But little has been done to
aid to homeowners facing foreclosure or others far from Wall
Street, it said.
“The good news is that America did not suffer another
depression,” panel Chairman Ted Kaufman said. However,
Treasury’s “programs for Main Street have been far less effec-
tive” than the cash injections that stabilized Wall Street banks
during the worst financial crisis in generations, he said.
It was the panel’s last report before it disbands next month.
The bailout law gave the panel six months to keep working
after Treasury lost the power to create new programs.
Treasury’s authority expired on Oct. 3.
The report mostly summarizes the panel’s earlier findings
about the bailouts, known as the Troubled Asset Relief
Program, or TARP. Among them:
• The program reinforced the belief that large and intercon-
nected companies will enjoy government support in times of
crisis. That could encourage them to take unwise risks, eventu-
ally leading to another crisis and more bailouts.

Proposed California law

LOS ANGELES — A California state assemblyman is intro-

San Fernando Valley-based Assemblyman Bob

The money collected would be used for school districts,

The Sunnyvale-based company is circumventing the usual

Heon has recovered nicely from severe knee injury
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
It was a year ago today that Taylor Heon
went under the knife.
The former Serra standout who transferred
to Southeast Missouri out of Skyline College
was just getting his Division I career started
last year when it was abruptly derailed by
injury. Heon was a mere six games into his
junior-transfer year when he was taken out on
a double play at second base against Indiana-
Purdue at Fort Wayne. While he somehow
managed to still turn the double play, as Heon
Scots break out late
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Carlmont baseball manager Rich Vallero
knows that as the reigning co-champion of the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, his
team will play game in and game out with a
target on its backs.
But Wednesday afternoon in the league
opener, Vallero’s Scots showed they have no
intention of playing like the hunted.
Behind an eight-run fifth inning in which
Carlmont sent 13 men to the plate, the Scots
steamrolled past El Camino 12-2.
“We are defending PAL champions with
Burlingame,” Vallero said. “So we want to
come out and defend what’s ours right now.
People need to knock us off, people need to
knock Burlingame off and we talked to our
kids about defending their PAL title and peo-
ple are coming to come out here and put a
bull’s eye on our back and knock us off. So,
we need to come ready to play every day
because there are going to be guys gunning for
us.”
It took a little while for the Scots to get
going and play like Vallero is hoping they do
this year.
In the top of the first, El Camino loaded the
bases off of starting pitcher Bradley Levine,
who walked two in the frame but got out of the
jam by striking out Trevor Kelly.
Steven Knudson started for the Colts and
breezed through the first two frames, using
only 19 pitches in the process to down the first
six hitters.
He got a little help offensively to start the
third inning when Steven Pastora smashed the
first pitch he saw over the left centerfield wall
for the 1-0 lead. El Camino looked like they
would add to their tally when Kelly smashed
an apparent double to center. But the catcher
failed to touch first on his way to second and
was called out. It was the first a couple of base
running mistakes that cost El Camino some
runs that might have made for a completely
different ball game.

your health
When I played organized sports in my
youth, part of the annual preparation was to
get the requisite physical. No big deal:
check the vitals and, of course, the always
awkward “cough” test.
Maybe it’s time to get more in-depth tests
done in light of a pair of high school basket-
ball players who sud-
denly collapsed and
died this month. The
more highly publi-
cized of the two was
the Michigan player
who made the game-
winning basket and
then collapsed and
died moments later.
This past Saturday, a
player in Texas came
to the bench during a
timeout, high-fived
his teammates, took a
drink of water and slumped over in his chair
— dead.
The autopsy of the Michigan player
revealed a previously undetected heart
defect, and I’m pretty sure the same will be
found of the kid in Texas.
Most of the “generic” physicals given on
campus or at a clinic don’t go into much
depth, but the American Heart Association
recommends a list of tests to be performed,
including having a complete medical histo-
ry of the athlete.
The best option to perform the physical
would be to have a child’s pediatrician, who
is an expert on your child’s medical history.
Unfortunately, not everyone has their own
doctor to check them out, thus making the
school-sponsored exam a legitimate alterna-
tive. But it seems that some athletes are
falling through the cracks. While any kind
of alarming result might be the end of a
child’s athletic career, it certainly beats the
alternative.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — That extra

shape and keep his work ethic intact
through a shorter winter — and it’s

The San Francisco Giants’ ace

“The key to me is to get in a good

Lincecum earned the win thanks
to ample support from his offense,

during the El Camino-Carlmont

the bottom of the first inning,
Carlmont’s Daniel Madigan hit an
absolute rocket right back to El
Camino pitcher Steve Knudson,

USC, which had won six of its
last eight, was making its 16th
NCAA appearance and sixth trip in
the last 11 years.
Coach Kevin O’Neill had been
suspended for the Trojans’ last
game, a 67-62 loss to Arizona in the
semifinals of the Pac-10 tourna-
ment. O’Neill and his wife had got-
ten into a verbal confrontation with
an Arizona booster at the team’s
hotel on Thursday night. USC ath-
letic director Pat Haden suspended
O’Neill and promised additional
penalties.
But O’Neill was reinstated by
Haden and the coach apologized to
his team before the flight to Ohio.
He then offered a public apology
during the NCAA’s mandated media
interviews Tuesday.
The Rams, who received their
first at-large bid since 1983-84, are
making their 10th trip to the big
tournament and have a 6-9 all-time
record.

somewhat, and actually stuck with

first to end the inning.

SPORTS
Oh, really?
The smooth guard with “SWISH”
scrawled on the side of each orange
shoe scored a career-high 29 points
Wednesday night, putting on the
most scintillating show so far in the
NCAA tournament while leading
Texas-San Antonio to a 70-61 victo-
ry over Alabama State in the “First
Four” round.
“It seems like the last four or five
games, I can’t make a shot,”
Johnson said. “I have ’SWISH’ on
the side of my shoes because I used
to make shots. I might have to black
it out for now.”
No need to edit the footwear, not
after that NCAA tournament debut.
The Roadrunners (20-13) and
their smooth guard head to
Cleveland for a game Friday against
top-seeded Ohio State, which won’t
allow all those open shots.
“No. 31, if he’s on like he was
tonight, it should be a pretty good
game,” Alabama State’s Jeff
Middlebrooks said.
Against Alabama State (17-18),
Johnson took advantage of every
opening. The sophomore had a
career high in the first half alone,
when he outscored the star-struck
Hornets 25-21.
Middlebrooks and Tramayne
Moorer had 12 points apiece for
Alabama State, which had the worst
record in the expanded 68-team
his head.
Carlmont assistant coach Rick
Lavezzo asked if I had seen the hel-
met and wondered if that was a
mandatory piece of equipment.
“Not yet,” I replied.
Many, however, are advocating
some kind of head protection for
pitchers — at the high school level
at the very least. The powers-that-be
have tried to reduce the chances of a
tragedy on the field by implement-
tournament.
“We let a guy get 25 points in the
first half,” Moorer said. “He
outscored us!”
The Roadrunners came to Dayton
with a stated goal: San Antonio had
never won an NCAA tournament
game of any sort. Now, they’ve got
reason to raise a banner in their
4,080-seat UTSA Convocation
Center.
“Our first win in an NCAA tour-
nament game in any sport — we’re
very proud to be in this moment,”
coach Brooks Thompson said.
Might as well let Johnson pick the
spot to place the banner.
The 6-foot-5 guard did everything
Wednesday. He scored off drives to
the hoop and made fall-away
jumpers from every spot, hardly
missing in the decisive first half.
Johnson was 8 of 14 from the field,
making one less field goal than all
the Hornets combined.
“Johnson got good look after
good look, and he also made some
tough shots,” Hornets coach Lewis
Jackson said. “He got on a roll and
it trickled down to everybody else.”
Johnson also got to shoot four
free throws after a pair of technicals
on the Hornets. He made ’em all, of
course.
He even connected while sitting
on the court after getting fouled in
the second half. He playfully flipped
ing new bat requirements that slow
down the ball a bit, but what would
be wrong with forcing pitchers to
wear protective head gear? After all,
batters are no longer allowed to
come to the plate without a batting
helmet, which has been accepted as
a part of baseball for the past 50
years. Heck, even base coaches are
supposed to wear helmets and they
are at less risk than the pitcher.
A pitcher wearing a helmet may

the ball at the basket, and it went in.
He took only four shots in the sec-
ond half.
UTSA’s front line took control
during a 17-4 opening run that put
the scent of a blowout in University
of Dayton Arena. The Roadrunners
got 14 of the first 18 rebounds,
repeatedly giving themselves sec-
ond chances after a miss.
Johnson turned those extra
chances into his showtime. He made
a 3 that built the lead to 31-13. Next
time down the court, he was feeling
so comfortable that he quickly got
off a long 3 that came up short of the
rim for one of his few misses
While a smattering of Alabama
State fans chanted “Air Ball,”
Johnson turned away and smiled. So
did Thompson, who couldn’t blame
him for shooting away.
Johnson sent a stir through the
crowd with an emphatic, breakaway
dunk that built the lead to 38-15
with 3:50 left in the opening half
and showed that the Hornets had no
chance of slowing him down. By
then, he already had 21 points, three
shy of his previous career high.
The low point for Alabama State?
Robert Sanders tried to dunk off a
rebound and missed, then hung on
the rim and drew a technical foul.
Johnson made the two resulting free
throws.
not look cool and of course no ath-
lete wants to be seen as soft or
afraid, but if everyone is doing it,
what’s the difference? Again, it’s
better than the alternative.

hitting .362 with a team-best five doubles.
And perhaps more importantly, all of his 13
starts have come at second base, where thus
far this season he has made just one error.
Of course, superb defense has always been
Heon’s calling card. As a sophomore at
Skyline in 2009, he won the California
Community College Gold Glove Award after
posting a .988 fielding percentage.
Unlike many college second basemen who
are converted high-school shortstops, Heon
played primarily second base throughout his
junior and senior seasons at Serra. In those
seasons he played up the middle with a pair of
SCOTS

“We hit the ball well,” said Colts manager
Carlos Roman. “We missed first base, we for-
get how many out there are on a fly ball, we
would have scored a run and the inning con-
tinues. We can’t make mistakes and overcome
a rally like that.”
Carlmont’s first rally of the afternoon came
in their half of the third inning. With one out,
Daniel Wendland found himself at first fol-
lowing an error at first. Ronnie Freiermuth
and Willie Baroncini followed with singles to
load the bases. Kyle Barret’s fielder’s choice
plated Wendland from third and after a walk
to Daniel Madigan, Nic Bongi singled to cen-
ter field to give the Scots a 3-1 lead.

West Catholic Athletic League co-Players of
the Year — in 2006 winner Jon Karcich, and
eventual 2008 winner Ryan Allgrove.
“Taylor Heon was a natural defender,”
Allgrove said in an e-mail. “In his junior year
he only made one error. (He) always got the
good hop because of his good footwork.”
But, as good as Serra’s infield was in 2008
with Heon, Allgrove, and third baseman Tony
Renda — all three currently play at the
Division I level — it was Heon’s junior year
when he was paired with Karcich, which
Heon remembers as the best defensive infield.
Karcich, who now plays in the Angels organi-
zation after being drafted out of Santa Clara
University in 2009, is most remembered as the
2006 WCAL home run champ. In harkening
his season paired with Heon, though, Karcich
recalls being a formidable double-play combo
that helped propel Serra to the Central Coast
“I was just thinking about getting those
guys in,” Bongi said. “Two outs, you have to
get those guys in. I was thinking right side and
do whatever I can to get them in.”
Down 3-1, El Camino had their chances
against Levine, but as mentioned, they hurt
themselves on the base paths. In the fourth,
D.J. Peluso should have scored from second
on a dropped fly ball in center field. But it
appeared that Peluso forgot how many outs
there were in the inning and stopped halfway
between second and third. He’d be stranded
when Pastora popped out to the catcher three
pitches later.
In the fifth, the Colts pushed across a run on
an RBI single by Justin Eclavea, but they
stranded another pair of baserunners when
they could have done more damage. Had they
known what the Scots would do to them in
their half of the fifth, El Camino surely would
have liked to score all the runs they could get.
Section semifinals.
“By the time he was a junior on varsity, he
knew a lot of things other second basemen
don’t understand,” said Karcich, who pointed
to Heon as being “coachable” and “a quick
learner.”
Heon would go on to be a legit two-way
threat. After grinding out a .276 batting his
freshman year at Skyline, Heon ranked second
on the team with a .336 average as a sopho-
more.
When it came to time to transfer, Heon had
hoped to stay close to home. Being in the
same transfer class as pitcher Greg Gonzalez
— who is currently turning heads as a senior
at Fresno State — the two worked out at both
Long Beach State and Pepperdine, but didn’t
hear back from either. Heon said he even con-
sidered playing Division II at Chico State to
stay in California.
That’s because Carlmont turned the bases
into their own personal merry-go-round in the
bottom of the fifth.
The Scots send six hitters to the plate in the
frame before they made an out — a walk, a
single, a hit batsman, back-to-back singles
and another hits batsman. Ryan Gavasse’s fly
ball to right was the first out of fifth, but even
that went down as a sacrifice fly RBI for the
infielder.
“Our guys were very patient,” Vallero said
about the Scots’ eight-run inning. “We had
some walks, we had some counts where we
were even and we had some guys extend their
at-bats by fouling some pitches off and we got
some timely hitting. We came through in the
clutch a couple of times today.”
When the dust settled in the fifth, Carlmont
had an 11-2 lead.
Bongi, who came in for Levine after the left
hander pitched 4 1/3 innings, went the rest of

Visiting Southeast Missouri in the summer-
time didn’t help matters either, as at that time
the campus was mostly deserted. Heon said he
called his father Don on the way home and
said he didn’t think he could relocate to
Missouri. But, a consult with Skyline manag-
er Dino Nomicos helped change Heon’s mind.
After relocating, adjusting to the culture —
“the way people talk, the food, the four sea-
sons, and the people,” Heon said — took time.
“The first two months were pretty bad, but
then I got to know the guys and now I
absolutely love it,” Heon said.

in relief.
Carlmont added another run in the sixth on
an RBI single by Taylor Crawford to leave no
doubt.
“We’ll be fine,” Roman said of his Colts. “I
have confidence in this club. We have some
nice pieces, we’ve been playing real good
defense, our hitting will be timelier, we might
do a little maneuvering in the line-up to get a
little more balance, but we’re fine. We weren’t
going to win today. It just looked that way —
we’ll come back Friday. We’re alright.”
“We expect this,” Bongi said. “We work
really hard. We’re the defending champions.
We expect this. If we play like we did, if we
do the right thing — we hit, we pitch, we play
great defense — I think we can do this (every

Lawmakers make headway TRIAL
on state budget package
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California law-
makers on Wednesday made headway on
a budget package aimed at closing the
state’s $26.6 billion deficit, approving
billions of dollars in cuts to state pro-
grams but leaving two of the plan’s most
contentious elements undecided.
In floor sessions that stretched late into
the evening, the state Assembly and
Senate approved eight measures author-
izing an estimated $7.4 billion in cuts to
the CalWORKS welfare-to-work pro-
gram, services for the developmentally
disabled, the state’s health insurance pro-
gram for the poor and other spending
areas. About half of the cuts come from
shifting money away from local commu-
nities to programs normally paid for by
the state’s general fund.
After hours of behind-the-scenes vote
wrangling, the Assembly fell one vote
short of the two-thirds majority required
to approve a divisive bill to eliminate the

Spring is the time of year when
homes often get a thorough clean-
ing. Using the right tools, tech-
niques and products for different
surfaces and types of dirt, from
windows to counters to floors, is
key to doing the job easily and
effectively, said Debra Johnson,
training manager for the Merry
Maids housecleaning company in
Memphis, Tenn.
“It makes the job easier if you
have the right products,” she said.
Begin with the rooms or areas
that seem the dirtiest, suggested
Carolyn Forte, director of the
Home Appliances and Cleaning
Lab at the Good Housekeeping
Research Institute.
“Start with the thing that bothers
you most,” she said. “Do the big-
ger jobs first.”
Johnson and Forte offered the
following advice for effective
spring cleaning.
Windows: Use an ammonia-
tors a summary of what they found
following an exhaustive records
search, in which hundreds of
employees sifted through mounds of
paperwork piled in a concert venue

PG&E said it could not find key
safety records for 8 percent of its
lines running through populated
areas, but that was after the compa-
ny used documents showing histori-
cal pressure levels for many of its
older pipelines, rather than pressure
tests or engineering work. The utili-
ty could not turn up pressure tests

based cleaner and microfiber
cloth, Forte said. Make sure to use
plenty of cleaner to remove the
dirt. Change the water and cloth as
necessary. Avoid washing win-
dows on sunny days because the
cleaner will dry too quickly and
leave streaks.
Window blinds: Close plastic
blinds and wipe with a damp cloth,
Johnson said. Reverse the slats and
clean the other side of the blinds
with a clean, damp cloth. Use a
tool designed for blind cleaning to
clean between the slats. For cloth
blinds, use a vacuum attachment to
remove dust and dirt.
Wood floors: Wash floors with a
cleaner designed for wood sur-
faces, Forte said. Choose the
cleaner that’s appropriate for the
finish on the floor, either wax or
polyurethane. She favors using a
microfiber cloth on a mop with a
swivel head.
Laminate floors: Since lami-
nate is a very durable surface, it
can be cleaned with a variety of
cleaning products, hot water and a
lines laid before 1961, including for
some sections of the line that blew
up in San Bruno.
Clanon said the utility had no
“legitimate or good-faith basis” to
decide that pressure levels were safe
by using historical levels, which
would not necessarily identify
improper welds or shoddy work.
Molica said PG&E plans to test or
replace 150 miles of pipes with sim-
ilar characteristics to the one that
exploded.

company could be fined. Any poten-

mop or microfiber cloth, Johnson
said.
Rugs: Send area rugs that cannot
go in a washing machine to a pro-
fessional cleaner to avoid discolor-
ing or damaging them, recom-
mended Johnson. Set smaller rugs
outside for a good airing, she
added. When vacuuming a rug
located in a doorway or other high
traffic area, turn the rug over and
run the sweeper on the underside
of the rug, Forte said.
Dust: Work from the top down
to avoid dirtying areas that were
just cleaned, Johnson said. Use a
vacuum attachment to remove cob-
webs and dust in corners. The vac-
uum also is a good way to remove
dust from lampshades and uphol-
stered surfaces. Avoid feather
dusters, Johnson added, as they
just move the dust around.

cloth because dust can scratch
wood surfaces, Forte said. She
suggests spraying a microfiber

keep running for several weeks until
the commission meets to make a
final decision, Clanon said.
The utility may ask for a recon-
sideration of the fines, but a
spokesman did not immediately say
whether PG&E planned to do so.
Clanon said he also was consider-
ing ordering PG&E to reduce pres-
sure on additional gas lines.
“We don’t have the information
that we need to make sure that those
pipelines are operating safely,”
Clanon said. “That is unaccept-
able.”

Sensory gardens create beautiful days
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FULTON — Imagine a garden where
melon, peach, apple, lemon, pear and garde-
nias bloom. Then imagine holding all that in a
glass.
That’s the theory behind wine sensory gar-
dens, featuring plants commonly smelled and
tasted in wine.
Take a stroll through the neatly laid out
cabernet-merlot corner of the red wine garden
at the Kendall-Jackson Wine Center in
Sonoma County and you encounter things you
expect to find, like black cherry and black cur-
rant. And there are a few you might not
expect, like oregano and bell pepper, which
also can be picked up in some reds.
It’s a wine and noses experience.
“We call this our scratch-and-sniff garden,”
says Matthew Lowe, a chef at Kendall-
Jackson Wine Estates who has been involved
with the gardens for a decade.
In each garden there are four quadrants rep-
resenting different wines, and in the middle of
the garden is a section of things that pair well
with wines, for example sweet onions and
sweet peppers with sauvignon blanc.
Self-guided tours are always available and
there are guided tours three times a day during
the summer.
The idea is to correlate the scent of a flower
or tang of a berry with what you experience in
the tasting room.
“You can come out to the pinot garden, you
can grab a strawberry, you can grab a cherry
from the tree, you can grab a blackberry or a
blueberry and taste it to remind your palate
about what you’re smelling in that glass of
wine,” says Lowe.
Got a green thumb? This is also something
you can try at home, says Katrina Frey of Frey
Vineyards in Mendocino County.
Frey Vineyards was a pioneer as a purely
organic winery, and the family planted senso-
ry gardens “because we are a bunch of gar-
deners who also happen to make wine,” says
Frey. “Gardening is our relaxation and hobby.
And (it brings) beneficial insects into our
vineyards, and so it helps with our natural
control of pests.”
What type of aromatics you plant will
depend on your climate; some common fla-
vors in red wine are raspberries, strawberries,
black cherries and blackberries. For white

wines, citrus and apples are common, along
with mint and jasmine. Herbs are hardy and a
good place to start. They don’t take up a lot of
room.
“In our garden, we have a section of herbs
that we think go well with white wines, and
these are lemon thyme, tarragon, basil, dill,
cilantro and lovage,” says Frey.
Another idea is to go chromatic. For a white
wine garden, you might look for plants with
gold or yellow leaves; for red wine, plants
with dark red leaves.
At Round Pond Estate in the Napa Valley,
sensory gardens are curated by Jeff Dawson,
who came up with the idea some years ago
after encountering the “Aroma Wheel” devel-
oped by Ann Noble, a University of
California, Davis, professor. It identifies aro-
mas in wine.
He helped get the gardens at Kendall-
Jackson going, and six years ago moved to
Round Pond, which has two gardens: sauvi-
gnon blanc and cabernet sauvignon — the two
major varietals grown there. Take a stroll through the neatly laid out cabernet-merlot corner of the red wine garden at the

lime nectarine and melon for sauvignon blanc. and bell pepper,which also can be picked up in some reds.
In the “affinities” section, there are plants such
as peach and lavender, as well as a “color-pair-
ing” concept in which sauvignon blanc is
matched with lighter colored vegetables like
yellow tomatoes and yellow zucchini, while
cabernet is paired with red tomatoes.
It’s a pick-and-sip opportunity. The best
way to experience the garden is to walk
around and take in the aromas and flavors,
then take something like a strip of bell pepper
back to the tasting room to see what works
with which wines, says Dawson.
“When you have that sensory experience,
that’s the most profound effect in terms of
relating it to what you might cook for dinner
that night, or looking at what you’re cooking
for dinner and deciding what wine you might
buy,” he says. “The light comes on.”

prison-based gerrymandering results in
stark racial disparities in government
representation.
“Incarcerated persons are often held
in areas that are far removed, both geo-
graphically and demographically, from
their home communities. Thus, prison-
based gerrymandering ... weakens the
political strength of communities of
color,” according to the report.
While San Francisco jail inmates
were credited to San Mateo County,
many residents from this county wind
up in prison in different counties all
over the state. These inmates are also
credited to the county they are counted
in and not San Mateo County.
“Prison-based gerrymandering
impacts underserved communities such
as East Palo Alto or North Fair Oaks,”
San Mateo County Supervisor Rose
Jacobs Gibson said.
Accurate data helps determine how
services are provided, she said.
“Funding is appropriated to where the
needs are and the most accurate infor-
mation is needed to assess the need,”
she said.
African-Americans are nearly 13 per-
cent of the general population, but are
41.3 percent of the federal and state
prison population, according to the
NAACP report.
Maryland, Delaware and New York
state recently passed laws that end
prison-based gerrymandering by count-
ing incarcerated people at home for
state and local redistricting purposes.
The numbers also help counties
secure federal funding.
Last summer, San Francisco County
locked out census counters and provid-

nuclear fuel rods from overheating.
The troubles at several of the plant’s
reactors were set off when last week’s
earthquake and tsunami knocked out
power and ruined backup generators
needed for their cooling systems, adding
a major nuclear crisis for Japan as it
dealt with twin natural disasters that
killed more than 10,000 people and left
hundreds of thousands homeless.
A Japanese military CH-47 Chinook
helicopter began dumping seawater on
the damaged reactor of Unit 3 at the
to-count counties in the state and among
the top 50 cities in the nation with the
highest number of hard-to-count popu-
lations in the 2000 Census,” San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said in a pre-
pared statement last week.
A 2007 Social Compact study
revealed that an estimated 100,000 San
Francisco residents were undercounted
by the 2000 U.S. Census, costing San
Francisco more than $300 million in
potential federal funding over the past
decade, according to Lee’s statement.
“We are hoping to change the policy
by the next census,” Adrienne Pon,
executive director of the San Francisco
Office of Civil Engagement and
Immigration Affairs told the Daily
Journal.
The numbers make a difference, Pon
said.
“We want them to relook at the poli-
cy,” she said.
Up to 1,000 San Francisco jail
inmates reside at the county jail in San
Bruno, but the Census Bureau’s policy
credited those inmates to San Mateo
County.
“They are San Francisco residents and
we want them counted as such,” Pon
said.
Census data now indicates San Mateo
County’s population to be 718,451, a
slight increase over the 2000 count. In
San Francisco, data shows the county’s
population to now be 805,235.
On any given day, San Mateo County
houses about 1,000 inmates in both the
men’s and women’s jail. San Francisco
County houses twice that number in six
different facilities, including the one in
San Bruno.
“We want every single resident of San
Francisco to be accurately counted,”
Pon said. “We should get the money
these inmates represent since it is this
county who pays for holding them.”
San Mateo County Sheriff’s officials
were pressured last year to help the
Census Bureau count San Francisco’s
inmates housed in San Bruno, said Lt.
Tim Reid, with the Sheriff’s Office.
“There was some confusion there,”
Reid said.
Those at Odyssey plan to distribute the
wristbands for a donation. It’s also
working on care packages.
Kelsey O’Donnell, 13, has been work-
ing on contacting stores to set up booths
to get support.
“We want to send care packages to the
families. … Things that make people
feel more normal. To put a smile on their
face,” said O’Donnell.
There is some time to collect items for
the boxes as the postal service in Japan
isn’t currently accepting packages for
delivery, Imase said.
Until then, Imase set up a website
which will be updated daily with pic-
tures, videos and messages of hope and
well wishes to their sister school.
Donations are also being accepted to
help the Tokiwagi Sendai Quake
Odyssey Relief. Money can be dropped
off at or mailed to the school, 201
Polhemus Road, San Mateo, CA 94402
San Bruno also has a sister relation-
ship in Japan. Narita is San Bruno’s sis-
ter city.
Through e-mail communication with
Hiroko Okada — a city employee who
oversees the Narita International
Friendship Society, their equivalent to
Fukushima complex at 9:48 a.m., said
defense ministry spokeswoman Kazumi
Toyama. The aircraft dumped at least
four loads on the reactor, though much
of the water appeared to be dispersed in
the wind.
At least a dozen more loads were
planned in the 40 minutes that each crew
can operate before switching to limit
radiation exposure, the ministry said.
The dumping was intended both to
help cool the reactor and to replenish
water in a pool holding spent fuel rods,
Toyama said. The plant’s owner, Tokyo
Electric Power Co., said earlier that the
pool was nearly empty, which might
cause the rods to overheat.
The comments from U.S. officials
THE DAILY JOURNAL
A Sheriff’s Office employee was
sworn in as a enumerator by the Census
Bureau last year and trained to count the
county’s jail population, Reid said.
Peter Wagner, co-founder of the
Prison Policy Initiative in
Massachusetts, supports San
Francisco’s efforts.
“The policy made sense 200 years ago
when there were less people in prison
and when the data wasn’t used for redis-
tricting,” Wagner said.
Congressional, state Senate and
Assembly districts get redrawn based on
census data, which is also used to hand
out more than $400 billion in federal
funds to local and state governments
each year.
For Wagner, it’s less about federal
funding and more about representation.
More than 100 rural counties and cites
nationwide, including most of the coun-
ties in California with large prisons,
already reject the idea of prison-based
gerrymandering, Wagner said.
The practice of prison-based gerry-
mandering finds its clearest example in
Anamosa, Iowa where a large prison
was almost an entire city council dis-
trict, according to the Prison Policy
Initiative. Council districts are supposed
to contain the same number of people,
but basing districts on non-voting non-
resident prison populations gives a
handful of residents the same political
power as thousands of residents else-
where in the city, according to the
Prison Policy Initiative.
The practice hurts mostly rural com-
munities where large prisons are
housed, Wagner said.
The Census Bureau contends it will
take an act of Congress to change the
policy, but Wagner disagrees.
“I believe the Census Bureau has the
discretion to change the policy,” Wagner
said.
The policy probably has not changed
because the Census Bureau is a careful,
scientific organization that is slow to
change, Wagner said.
San Francisco officials hope the
Census Bureau will change the policy
by 2020.
the Sister Cities program — San Bruno
learned the city is doing well.
The city is far from the epicenter of
last week’s earthquake but feels terrible
shakes, Okada said. While there are no
serious damage reports from citizens,
supplies like groceries, toiletries, water,
gas and batteries are difficult to come by,
she wrote.
To be supportive, Parkside
Intermediate School in San Bruno is
planning to hold an event in the cafeteria
after school Thursday, March 24. People
are invited to come together to fold
paper cranes, a symbol of hope, and
donate $2 or more to support the people
in Japan.
Odyssey will also collect donations at
a previously planned benefit, A Birthday
Party for Shakespeare, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, April 16. There will be a ren-
aissance celebration of the great writer
with nobles, actors, swordsmen and
artists along with crafts, games and food
at the College of San Mateo. Tickets are
$6 for kids and seniors and $10 for
adults in advance. Prices raise $2 at the
door. For more information visit

indicated there were similar problems at
another unit of the Dai-ichi complex.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Chairman Gregory Jaczko said at a con-
gressional hearing in Washington that all
the water was gone from a separate spent
fuel pool at the plant’s Unit 4. Japanese
officials expressed similar worries about
that unit, but that it was impossible to be
sure of its status.
Emergency workers were forced to
retreat from the plant Wednesday when
radiation levels soared, losing precious
time. They resumed work after radiation
levels dropped, but much of the monitor-
ing equipment in the plant is inoperable,
complicating efforts to assess the situa-
tion.

other local conditions. This
Ordinance also: (1) repla-
ces the Title Page to reflect
the new organization of the

tained in the Baykeeper
Consent Decree, which are
triggered when a project in-
volves a 25% expansion or
alteration of a structure or
adds plumbing fixtures, into
the chapters on the Build-
ing Code and the Plumbing
Code; (5) adds a new
Green Building Regulations
Code; and (6) reorganizes
the Building Regulations so
that they are more in line
with the organization of the
California Building Stand-
ards Code in order to make
all of the Building Regula-
tions in the Municipal Code
more user friendly.
All five members of the City
Council, to wit Council-
members Colapietro, Pa-

Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §§
1251 et seq. and a Con-
sent Decree with San Fran-
cisco Baykeeper to reduce
sanitary sewer overflows
(SSOs). The proposed Or-
dinance does the following:
1. Requires inspection of
sanitary sewer laterals as a
condition to obtaining a
building permit if a project
adds plumbing fixtures or
more than twenty five per-
cent (25%) of the struc-
ture's square footage,
2. Set standards for evalu-
ating the condition of sani-
tary sewer laterals,
3. Requires private sanitary
sewer lateral owners to re-
pair and/or replace sanitary
sewer laterals within 180
days following a SSO,
4. Requires any defects in
the sanitary sewer lateral
that causes the subject lat-
eral to fail the inspection be
repaired and replaced with-
in ninety (90) days,
5. Requires a sanitary sew-
er lateral owner, within 120
days of notification by the
City, to remove roots from
their sanitary sewer laterals
and make all necessary re-
pairs to prevent a reoccur-
rence of roots intrusion,
and
6. Requires all property
owners or their contractors
to insert a temporary trap
downstream of their sanita-
ry sewer laterals when per-
forming maintenance to re-
move a blockage to ensure
no debris is flushed into the
City sanitary sewer collec-
tion system.
