The maps help "identify areas where those hazards are probably more likely to occur." Once official, the new maps tell counties and cities to make new commercial or residential development in hazard-prone areas contingent upon an engineering geologist's review of soil and geologic conditions. The geologist must recommend ways to safeguard the property, like reinforcing foundations, leveling hills or building retaining walls. Although sellers have the burden of disclosure, buyers must make any changes. Owners of single-family homes are exempted from all but the disclosure.

Under questioning, Goldzband admitted that the maps are just "another piece" of the area's complex seismic puzzle and that they don't account for potential losses from damaging shaking detailed in separate seismic maps. For example. Northridge, appears in white on one of the new maps, implying neither liquefaction nor landslide hazards. Yet is sustained heavy damage during a deadlv quake on Jan. 17, 1994.

By Jane E. Allen The Associated Press LOS ANGELES State officials on Friday presented five preliminary seismic hazard maps showing areas of the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clar-ita that are prone to quake-triggered landslides and liquefaction. "There are ways we can prepare Californians for the inevitable seismic events of the future and mitigate the damage they cause." Larry Goldzband, director of the state Department of Conservation, told reporters. Ted Smith, a state geologist, said insurance industry sources have indicated that spending $3,000 to $4,000 to strengthen foundations can reduce liquefaction losses from an industry average of $67,000 down to $10,000 to $15,000. However, he conceded that "there is no quick fix" to guard against most quake hazards.

Next to Goldzband and Smith were a set of the maps, covering 300 square miles. Green areas represent risk of liquefaction, where loose soils turn to quicksand and buildings sink. Blue represents landslide risk. "Secondary earthquake hazards such as ground shaking, landslides and water-saturated ground failure, known as liquefaction, account for 95 percent of LULA MURRAY Seamstress Lula Murray, 90, of San Bernardino died Thursday at Mountain Side Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in San Bernardino.

It could take weeks before doctors know the outcome of the operation, performed on Kenneth Buch, 67, of Las Vegas. Buch's heart disease persisted despite a bypass and several angioplasties. Buch, who suffered crushing chest pain, volunteered for trials being done with surgeries in which laser holes are put on the outside of the heart. Doctors told he could be too weak to endure general anesthesia and suggested he contact Stanford. The Stanford test is being conducted by CardioGenesis a Sunnyvale company that got government approval for the trial two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, more than 20 clinical trials of the external procedure are being performed in the U.S. Continued $800,000 so far to recover about $900,000 from other companies who handled the city's money in the investments, including First Interstate Bank. The city received about $250,000 from a $3 million malpractice claim paid by the Riverside firm that audited the investments. "They were supposed to be tracking and monitoring, and (our auditor) was recommending it," Christman said. Big Bear Lake, which has recovered more than $1 million, also plans to continue to fight to recover more money.

"We're still in it," Big Bear Lake City Attorney Stephen De-itsch said. "We're making progress in moving it along, and we are still aggressively pursuing what belongs to the cities." siblings together," Ontiveros said. The emphasis in foster care is to place children in homes temporarily until they can be reunited with their birth parents, said Paul Martinez, a social worker with Futuro Infantil His-pano. "During that transition, we want to provide children with a stable home situation and a natural family setting. They need to have a psychological and developmental stability," he said.

STANFORD A Stanford University doctor has become the first in the United States to use a laser to zap tiny holes in damaged tissue inside the heart. Surgeons have been putting holes in the outside of the heart for several years, trying to get blood to heart muscle deprived of oxygen by clogged cardiac arteries. That's the same idea behind the new operation, performed about 20 times in Switzerland and Germany. Dr. Steve Oesterle said that the inside-the-heart surgery he performed Thursday the first in a year-long trial could offer advantages over the older method.

Blasting holes on the outside of the heart requires general anesthesia and chest incisions. "We don't know which will prove to be the more effective technique, but if we knew all the answers this wouldn't be a clini Settlement: Continued from B1 wasn't productive to throw some good money after bad." Wymer was sentenced in 1993 to 14 years in prison for nine felony counts of fraud and securities violations, and was ordered to pay $92 million in restitution. The federal government seized personal assets worth $9 million. From that, Loma Linda got about $106,000, Big Bear Lake almost $100,000 and Grand Terrace, $14,000. "This was not a case in which the city was making wild investments.

This is a case where the city was wiring money to a reputable, huge brokerage firm in New York City," Christman said. "This is fraud, fraud, fraud. We got phony financial statements."
