THE DAILY JOURNAL
Is Veterans Center unique?
H
istoric resources report to the
con trary, there may be something
unique about the Redwood City
Veterans Center, an aging structure that is in
its last days after serving the community
since 1956.
A series of workshops are being held to
inform the public about the future of the
center officially called the Redwood City
Veterans Memorial Senior Center, the
“senior” added in the 1980s. In a joint ven-
ture with the YMCA, the center faces the
prospect of being demolished or replaced as
part of a complete revamp of Red Morton
Park, the recreational hub of Redwood City.
Chris Beth, the city’s Parks, Recreation and
Community Services director, says “noth-
ing is finalized,” adding that replacing or
remodeling the buildings will be a multi-
year task. One configuration envisions the
center being replaced by an outdoor swim-
ming pool.
An historic resource report conducted in
2015 concluded the center was, well, just
another building set up as a “living memo-
rial” to World War II vets who didn’t want
statues erected in their honor, preferring
that their legacy be something more useful
to the community.
Turns out the center might be the only
building of its kind designed by famed
architect Birge Clark, who has been called
“The Architect of Palo Alto” and Palo Alto
“The City that Birge Built.” Clark, who died
in 1989, designed more than 450 buildings
in Palo Alto and on the Stanford campus.
More than 30 of his homes are on Palo
Alto’s inventory of historic buildings and
three are on the National Register of
Historic Places. His resume includes the
Lucie Stern Community Center in Palo Alto
and the Lou Henry Hoover home on the
Stanford campus.
The list, however, does not include a vet-
erans’ center, according to Steve Staiger of
the Palo Alto Historical Association.
“I am not aware of a veterans building
designed by Birge Clark anywhere else,”
Body suspected to be
from cliff crash found
MENDOCINO — A body was recovered
Saturday in the vicinity where an SUV
plunged off a Northern California cliff last
month, killing a family of eight in what
authorities suspect may have been an inten-
tional crash.
The Mendocino County Sheriff’s office
said in a statement that a couple vacation-
ing along the coast saw a possible body,
which was pulled from the surf Saturday
afternoon by a third bystander.
The body appears to be that of an African
American female, but the age and identity
could not immediately be determined, said
Lt. Shannon Barney. An autopsy is planned
Tuesday to determine a cause of death.
While authorities said they believe the
body may be that of one of two missing
girls from the crash, positive identification
will most likely be done by DNA analysis,
which could take weeks.
Sarah and Jennifer Hart and their six
adopted children were believed to be in the
family’s SUV when it plunged off a cliff last
month. Five bodies were found March 26
near Mendocino, a few days after
Washington state authorities began inves-
tigating the Harts for possible child neg-
lect, but three of their children were not
immediately recovered from the scene.
There were no signs of the other two chil-
dren, authorities said Saturday.
Authorities have said that data from the
vehicle’s software suggested the crash was
deliberate. They said the SUV had stopped
at a coastal highway overlook before speed-

your toil and their blood.”

unusual chapter: a city commission worked

TRUCKEE — A conservation group and a

providers at Lake Tahoe have pitched in to
try to stunt the growth of invasive aquatic
plants that can degrade water quality and rob
the lake of its famed clarity.
The Tahoe Fund and the Tahoe Water
Suppliers Association recently reached
their fundraising goal to buy more than 150
bottom barriers and other resources to sup-
port the Tahoe Resource Conservation
District in fighting the invasive animals
and plants, the Truckee Sierra Sun reported
Tuesday.
The conservation district’s inventory of
the barriers was 1.5 acres short of the 5-acre
limit for the lake.

Local student writer wins prestigious award
Foster City’s Amanda Hao joins elite ranks of previous national contest winners
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Foster City middle school student
earned national recognition for her writ-
ing by winning a prestigious award previ-
ously granted to budding elite talents such
as Stephen King, Truman Capote and John
Updike.
Amanda Hao, an eighth-grader at
Bowditch Middle School, won a
Scholastic Art and Writing gold medal for
her critical essay addressing the conse-
quences of renewable energy production.
Her piece titled “World sweeps coal into
dustbin of history” earned her the con-
test’s top award, and she is slated to be
honored in a ceremony at Carnegie Hall
later this summer.
The award marks some of the first recog-
nition Hao has received and she expects it
will continue to fuel her passion for the
craft.
“It feels pretty good because it is one of
my first writing awards, ” she said. “I
guess it will motivate me to write more
Tony Robbins apologizes
for critical comments on MeToo
NEW YORK — Self-help guru Tony
Robbins has apologized for critical com-
ments he made about the #MeToo movement
in a video that went viral.
In a Facebook post Sunday , Robbins said
he fully supports the #MeToo movement and
that he needs to “be a part of the solution.”
Robbins came under
criticism for an exchange
at a recent self-help
event in San Jose,
California. Robbins told
a female attendee that he
took issue with “victim-
hood.” He said sexual
harassment victims were
Tony Robbins “making themselves sig-
nificant by making
somebody else wrong.”
Robbins then related a story about a “very
famous, very powerful man” who declined to
hire a woman because she was considered
attractive.
#MeToo founder Tarana Burke on Saturday
said Robbins should talk to more sexual
abuse survivors and fewer “sexist business-
men.”
Yosemite reopens

SAN FRANCISCO — Yosemite National
Park reopened Sunday after flooding that

Forecasters said up to 6 inches of rain fell
over two days as rivers swelled in Northern
California.
Roads within Yosemite Valley were
swamped by up to 4 feet of water that affect-
ed electrical and water systems. Most facil-
ities reopened at midday, but officials
warned that traffic could be slow as cleanup
work continues.
The area was closed Friday as a powerful

Hao earned the award over more than
350, 000 entries in the competition rec-
ognized as one of the nation’s most
notable writing challenges. The awards
were established in 1923, and have been
given to many teens who went on to
become world-class writers, actors and
entertainers. Alumni also includes Joyce
Carole Oates, Robert Redford and Andy
Warhol.
For her part, Hao said she spent count-
less hours developing and refining her
1, 236-word submission over three
months with help of a tutor.
“I kept rewriting it over and over
again, ” she said.
She eventually submitted the piece and
earned regional recognition, which grant-
ed her access to joining the national chal-

March she’d won the gold medal.

“Pineapple Express” storm moved through.
The heaviest rain was in the northern Sierra
and in coastal counties from San Francisco
north to Mendocino during a 48-hour period
ending Saturday afternoon.
Flooding was also reported along the
Truckee River near Lake Tahoe.
Further north, water flows into Lake
Oroville following the deluge were not
enough to require opening the partially
rebuilt spillway at the troubled dam there,
officials said.
The lake level stayed below 800 feet and
inflows were tapering off, the California
Department of Water Resources said.
Officials said last week they would use the
main spillway if the water level reaches 830
feet — but they hoped to avoid it.
The spillway was destroyed last year dur-
ing a crisis that forced the evacuation of
downstream towns amid fears of catastroph-

Tornado Alley extends from northern
Texas and covers much of Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, plus
slivers of New Mexico and Colorado,
according to the National Oceanic and

Advocates: School gun clubs teach discipline, not violence

By Lisa Marie Pane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAHLONEGA, Ga. — Their classmates
took to the streets to protest gun violence
and to implore adults to restrict guns,
seeming to forecast a generational shift in
attitudes toward the Second Amendment.
But at high school and college gun ranges
around the country, these teens and young
adults gather to practice shooting and talk
about the positive influence firearms have
had on their lives.
What do they say they learn? Patience.
Discipline. Responsibility.
“I’ve never gone out onto a range and
not learned something new,” said Lydia
Odlin, a 21-year-old member of the
Georgia Southern University rifle team.
There are an estimated 5,000 teams at
high schools and universities around the
country, according to the National
Shooting Sports Foundation, and their
popularity hasn’t waned despite criticism
after it emerged that the gunman who
killed 14 students and three staff members
at a Florida high school had been a mem-
ber of the JROTC rifle team. The youths
who are involved, coaches and parents say
there’s an enormous difference between
someone bent on violence and school gun
clubs that focus on safety and teach skills
that make navigating life’s hardships eas-
ier.
The clubs use a variety of firearms —
from air rifles that shoot pellets to 9 mm
pistols that fire bullets. Its members
invest hundreds of dollars in specialized
stiff uniforms and shoes that provide sta-
bility and support for spending hours
standing, kneeling or lying prone to fire
at targets down range. Some have hopes of
representing the U.S. in the Olympics.
Some simply love the camaraderie and
mental focus required.
On a recent weekend, close to a dozen
high school and college gun team mem-
bers gathered at the University of North
Georgia in Dahlonega to work with JP
O’Connor, a coach affiliated with USA
Shooting, the Olympic organization. For
the first hour he only talks — not about
techniques or scores, but about mental
strategy.
“I want to encourage you to be self-
aware and to be disciplined about what
you’re doing,” he said. “If you are patient
with yourself, life is a lot easier — or less
difficult.”
Many of the students came with their REUTERS

Democrats even in GOP country shift toward gun restrictions

By Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Nebraska — Just 18 months after
declaring his opposition to banning assault
weapons, Nebraska Democrat Brad Ashford
has changed his mind.
The former one-term congressman, now
trying to win back an Omaha-area seat he
lost in 2016, used to consider it futile to
push for a ban while Republicans held power
on Capitol Hill. But the student activism that
has followed the rampage at a school in
Parkland, Florida, has changed his thinking
in a way that other high-profile shootings,
including two in his hometown since 2007,
had not.
Ashford’s conversion mirrors the one
underway in his party. Not long ago, a mod-
erate record on guns would have been consid-
ered a plus for a Democratic candidate in the
GOP-leaning suburbs and conservative out-
skirts of Nebraska’s largest city. Today, even
with Ashford’s reversal, it’s a vulnerability
that his opponent in the May 15 Democratic
primary has been quick to exploit.
That contest, along with races in Virginia,
rural Pennsylvania and other places where
gun control has been taboo, shows how far
the Democratic Party has traveled on this
issue. The November elections will test
whether Democrats will make room for can-
didates who don’t back all gun control meas-
ures.
“He should have been stronger on this,”
said Kara Eastman, the 46-year-old political
newcomer running against Ashford, a 68-
year-old former Republican, for the
Democratic nomination in the 2nd
Congressional District. “We need leaders
who are going to stand up and fight for the
kids.”
Eastman, director of a children’s nonprofit
group and a community college board mem-
ber, has focused her message on suburban
women and young people. She and other pro-
gressives, energized by rallies across the
country, say they the best way to turn out
voters is to offer a contrast to pro-gun
Republicans.
“Women have had it with what’s going
on,” said Crystal Rhoades, the Douglas
County Democratic Party chairwoman who
supports Eastman. “They’re mad that they
have to worry about sending their kids to
school out of fear they’ll be murdered.”
Polling shows there’s little disagreement
among Democrats on the question of stricter
gun laws.
A poll last month by The Associated Press-
NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
found that 69 percent of those surveyed
think gun laws in the U.S. should be tight-
ened.

2020 census test has critics counting concerns New transportation grants
By Michelle Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The success of the 2020 census,
which will be the first to include an online survey, could
hinge on a single “dress rehearsal” underway right now in
Rhode Island — and so far, many locals aren’t impressed.
Providence County, the state’s most populous, is the only
place where the Census Bureau is running a full test, after
plans to test two other sites this year were canceled because
of a lack of funding from Congress. A planned question
about citizenship that has states suing the federal govern-
ment isn’t on the test.
Several elected officials and leaders of advocacy and com-
munity groups this week held an “emergency press confer-
ence” to raise concerns, which include a shortage of public-
ity around the test and its limited language outreach in an
immigrant-heavy county, with large communities from
countries including the Dominican Republic, Guatemala,
Portugal and Cape Verde.
“If we don’t get it right here, then the country’s not going
to get it right,” Democratic Lt. Gov. Dan McKee warned.
The concerns in Rhode Island are the latest evidence of
mounting apprehension over the 2020 census. Seventeen
states and six cities, including Rhode Island and its largest
city, Providence, sued the federal government on Tuesday to
block a question the administration of Republican President
Donald Trump announced last month it would ask about cit-
izenship.
The 2020 census will be the first to give respondents the
option of answering online. Census Bureau officials say
that the Rhode Island test is on track, and that they’re
focused on ensuring new technology works, including a
smartphone app being used by canvassers and cloud com-
puting.
“There’s things that aren’t exactly the way they need to
be. But we’re learning that; we’re making the changes on
the fly,” said Jeff Behler, a regional Census Bureau director
who is overseeing the test. “We’re getting some very criti-
cal information about changes that we need to make. And we
have time to do that.”
In the test, which began March 16, 280,000 homes in
Providence County are receiving snail-mail letters that
direct residents to a survey website or toll-free phone num-
ber. There, they can complete the survey, which includes
questions including about age, race and ethnicity.
People may also call to get a paper version of the census
sent to them, but census officials hope most will do it
online because it is less expensive.
A response is legally required. Those who don’t respond
on their own will get a personal visit, with door-knocking
scheduled through July, Behler said. Census workers who
visit homes will use a new smartphone app, instead of paper
forms, to enter information they collect in person.
North Korea tells U.S. that Kim Jong Un ready to discuss nukes
By Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — North Korea’s government has commu-
nicated with the United States to say that leader Kim Jong Un
is ready to discuss his nuclear weapons program with
President Donald Trump, officials said Sunday, increasing
the likelihood that the unprecedented summit will actually
occur.
The confirmation from Pyongyang directly, rather than
from third countries like South Korea, has created more con-
fidence within Trump’s administration about the wisdom of
holding such a meeting, as U.S. officials make secretive
preparations. The Trump administration has long said that if
the North Koreans weren’t ready to discuss giving up their
nuclear program, there was no reason for the two countries to
hold negotiations.
Trump took his own administration and other countries by
surprise last month when he accepted an unusual offer from
Kim to hold a meeting. The North had conveyed the invita-
NATION/ WORLD
“There’s things that aren’t
exactly the way they need to be.”
—Jeff Behler, a regional Census Bureau director
The test survey does not include any question on citizen-
ship, having begun several days before the Trump adminis-
tration’s announcement that it was adding that question,
although many people received the letters telling them to
take their census around the time the announcement was
made.
Entities that use census data worry about including a ques-
tion on the census without testing it first.
“Adding a question at this late stage of the Census process
does not allow time for adequate testing to incorporate new
questions, particularly if the testing reveals substantial
problems,” the American Statistical Association wrote in a
January letter to the federal government.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he added the citi-
zenship question at the request of the Justice Department to
provide a more accurate tally of the number of voting-eligi-
ble residents in each neighborhood. Many Democratic offi-
cials and advocacy groups fear the question will scare peo-
ple away from participating because they view the Trump
administration as hostile to immigrants, diminishing the
survey’s overall accuracy.
Many Republican officials have downplayed such con-
cerns, instead echoing the Trump administration’s assertion
that there is no empirical evidence pointing to a steep par-
ticipation decline. The Rhode Island test would have to be
repeated — the second time with a citizenship question at
the end — to gauge whether there is a decrease in participa-
tion, but there are no plans to do that.
Even aside from the citizenship question, critics say they
worry residents will ignore the test requests because they
don’t know what they are or because they fear how the gov-
ernment will use the information. And they worry a test with
a lot of problems will ripple into the nationwide census two
years from now.
Funding shortages mean the testing has been scaled back
significantly from original plans, including two canceled
2018 tests in West Virginia and Washington state, as well as
two field tests that were canceled in 2017. Plans for the cen-
sus bureau to run an ad campaign and other outreach for the
Rhode Island test were also canceled for lack of funding.
“At this time 10 years ago, there were five fully funded,
end-to-end tests around the country, ” said Gabriela
Domenzain, director of the Latino Policy Institute at Roger
Williams University in Providence. “Today there is one
underfunded. The census will fail. The pilot is failing.”
Community leaders point out that the region has a large
immigrant population but that the official-looking two-
page government letter came only in English.
tion to a visiting delegation from South
Korea, which in turn traveled to
Washington and relayed the message to
Trump.
The president said yes to the meeting
on the spot, even though the U.S. had not
yet heard directly from North Korea about
Kim’s intentions. The U.S. later heard
from other countries including China,
Kim Jong Un where Kim paid a rare visit, that the North
was serious about the offer.
Still, North Korea’s government has not said anything
publicly at all about a meeting with Trump, and the lack of
known contact between Pyongyang and Washington about
the meeting has fueled further speculation about the serious-
ness of Kim’s offer.
A Trump administration official on Sunday said that the
U.S. had “confirmed that Kim Jong Un is willing to discuss
the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula?.” A second
official said that confirmation had come through direct con-

ignore bikes and walkways
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Forget about bike-share stations in
Chicago or pedestrian walkways in Oakland. That’s so
Obama-era.
In the Trump administration, a popular $500 million
transportation grant program is focused more on projects
in rural areas that turned out for Donald Trump in the 2016
election. That means more road and rail projects in GOP
strongholds such as Idaho, North Dakota, and Oklahoma,
and fewer “greenways,” “complete streets” and bike lanes.
The latest round of these grants has nothing for New
York City, Los Angeles or Chicago. Money in those
Democratic heavy states went instead to projects in
Trump-friendly regions: repainting a bridge in New York’s
North Country, contributing to a highway project in
Modesto, California, and upgrading an interstate highway
in southern Illinois.
It’s a refocusing from the priorities of the previous
administration, which gave most of these TIGER
(Transportation Investment Generating Economic
Recovery) grants to urban areas represented by President
Barack Obama’s Democratic allies on Capitol Hill.
“More than 64 percent of this round of TIGER funding
was awarded to rural projects, a historic number that
demonstrates this Administration’s commitment to sup-
porting the country’s rural communities, ” the
Transportation Department said in a release announcing
the grants last month.
“I was very pleased,” said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine,
when asked about the focus on rural areas. Maine won
$10.8 million to help repair three rural bridges on routes
critical to the state’s timber industry.
The program was established under Obama’s 2009 eco-
nomic recovery bill. The grants, distributed at the discre-
tion of the administration, are just a small fraction of the
overall federal transportation dollars when compared with
more than $50 billion distributed annually to states by
formula from the highway trust fund.
Trump has twice targeted the grant program for elimina-
tion, only to sign a huge spending bill into law last
month that tripled its budget to $1.5 billion.
Questions arose during the Obama administration about
political favoritism when grants consistently went in
greater numbers to congressional districts represented by
Democrats. For example, in 2013, about two-thirds of
TIGER money was awarded to such districts.
One of those grants went to help Florida International
University construct a pedestrian bridge over a busy road.
The structure collapsed last month, killing six people.
tact between American and North Korean officials.
Neither of the officials would say when or how the contact
took place, nor in what location. The officials weren’t
authorized to comment by name and demanded anonymity.
Previously, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had
said there were at least two or three channels through which
U.S. and North Korean officials communicate from time to
time.
The Trump administration has not said where the meeting
will place or whether a location has been determined, nor has
an exact date been set. Initially, the White House said it
expected the meeting to take place by the end of May. It’s
unclear whether a date that early could be achieved or whether
it might be delayed.
The contacts between Pyongyang and Washington come
as Trump’s new national security adviser, former U.N.
Ambassador John Bolton, prepares to start work at the
White House formally on Monday. Prior to being named to
the post, Bolton had long expressed hawkish views about
North Korea, even advocating a pre-emptive military strike.

Suspected poison gas kills at least 40 in Damascus
By Phillip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Suspected poison gas was used to
attack the last remaining foothold for the
Syrian opposition in the eastern suburbs of
Damascus, killing at least 40 people, including
families found in their homes and shelters,
opposition activists and local rescuers said
Sunday.
The attack on the besieged town of Douma
came almost exactly a year after a chemical
attack in the northern Syrian town of Khan
Sheikhoun killed dozens of people. That attack
prompted the U.S. to launch several dozen
Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian air base.
President Donald Trump blamed Syrian gov-
ernment forces for what he called a “mindless
CHEMICAL attack” and warned there would be
a “big price to pay.” He did not elaborate. In a
series of tweets, Trump held Russia and Iran,
Syrian President Bashar Assad’s chief spon-
sors, responsible.
The Syrian government denied the allega-
tions, calling them fabrications.
First responders entering apartments in
Douma late Saturday said they found bodies col-
lapsed on floors, some foaming at the mouth.
The opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense rescue
organization said the victims appeared to have
suffocated.
They did not identify the substance used, but

German van driver had run-ins

By Kirsten Grishaber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MUENSTER, Germany — The 48-year-old
German man who drove a van into a crowd in
Muenster was well-known to police, had a
history of run-ins with the law and had
expressed suicidal thoughts to a neighbor
last month, German prosecutors said
Sunday.
The man, whose name was not released,
killed two people and injured 20 others
Saturday afternoon by crashing into those
drinking outside a popular bar in the west-
ern German city’s Old Town. He then shot
himself to death inside the van.
The impact of the crash was so violent
that the van did not stop until it hit the
pub’s stone wall.
Police said Sunday that they believed he

Those reports could not be independently

Hours after the attack, the Army of Islam

Prosecutors said he had expressed suicidal

Hungary’s Orban wins re-election
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungarian Prime
Minister Viktor Orban easily won a third
consecutive term Sunday and his Fidesz
party was poised to regain its super majori-
ty in parliament, according to preliminary
results from the country’s election.
With 84.7 percent of the votes counted,
Fidesz and its small ally, the Christian
Democrat party, had secured 133 of the 199
seats in the legislature, the minimum need-
ed for a two-thirds majority. The right-wing
nationalist Jobbik party placed second
with 26 seats, while a Socialist-led, left-
wing coalition ran third with 20.Only two
other parties, former Prime Minister
Ferenc Gyurcsany’s Democratic Coalition
and the green Politics Can Be Different
party were expected to surpass the 5 per-
cent threshold needed to form a parliamen-
tary faction.

“People now are going out in the streets

Bakkar said. “And we don’t have any space left
to bury them.”
More than 100 buses entered the town
Sunday night to transport fighters and their
families to Jarablus, a town under the shared
control of rebels and Turkey, said Syrian state-

The preparations follow a pattern of evacua-

after seven years of war.
Human rights groups and United Nations
officials say the tactic amounts to forced dis-

Letters to the editor
Development in South City
Editor,
Thank you very much for your
front-page article “South City Waits
to Pick Builder” in the April 3 edition
of the Daily Journal. I find it very
encouraging that our city fathers have
decided to delay development of the
site at Chestnut Avenue and El
Camino Real in the face of “vigorous,
and occasionally vulgar opposition
shared by residents.”
As we all know, the huge property
at Spruce Avenue and El Camino Real
was slated for development years ago,
the businesses were moved out, the
property was fenced off and nothing
more has been done. No one has even
bothered to demolish the old build-
ings. In the middle of the city,
there is a huge eyesore and a home for
vermin during the years.
Now, the city fathers want to
“develop” another lot along the same
road? At some point, any impartial
observer would be lead to question the
honesty of the “development”
process. If the opposition to “devel-
opment” is “occasionally vulgar,”
perhaps that is not entirely inappro-
priate.
One wonders who exactly is benefit-
ing from “development” aside from
construction companies, real estate
developers and their ilk. If the city
fathers wonder why I have not attend-
ed the public hearings on these mat-
ters, the answer is simple: I work at
night, like a lot of other people who
are not looking to get rich, but just
trying to put food on the table for
their kids. Thank you.

Protect Foster City
and vote yes on Measure P
Editor,
I am writing this in my personal
capacity as a businessman, communi-
ty leader and father. Foster City has an
important choice to make this June.
Measure P is on the June 5 ballot to
locally fund levee improvements and
avoid flood zone designation by the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency. A yes vote for Measure P pro-
tects our city.
Don’t be fooled by those telling you
levee improvements can wait; their
priorities are not about protecting
your home or saving you money.
Voting no means FEMA will designate
Foster City as a flood zone as soon as
October 2018. Without Measure P, our
city and essential services like fire,
police, water, sewer, and transporta-
tion infrastructure will be left at flood
risk in a storm or other natural disas-
ter.
On top of not being protected, most
homeowners and businesses will be

required to pay about $2, 000 to

Paying for insurance does not protect
you or your home from flooding,
whereas voting yes on Measure P will.
The choice is clear. Don’t pay thou-
sands of dollars more per year to leave
homes, schools, businesses and our
community unprotected. The city can-
not wait and we, as residents, cannot
wait.
We need Measure P now. Our commu-
nity leaders, businesses, and elected
officials support Measure P. Make sure
your family, friends and neighbors
know the facts about Measure P and
why it is critical for our community.
Vote yes on Measure P to protect our
city.

Kudos to San Carlos
Editor,
Regarding City of San Carlos
Councilmember Mark Olbert’s guest
perspective (“Time to plan for the
future” published in the April 2 edition
of the Daily Journal) with reporting
the city has a $38 million surplus
brought about by responsible steward-
ship of their citizens money; consoli-
dating their police department, con-
solidating their fire department and
contracting out various city services.
As an aside in case anyone is inter-
ested, quality of service or response
times in San Carlos did not degrade
when the police department and fire
departments were merged with adjacent
organizations. Contracted out services
did not degrade either. The end result
has been maintaining quality service
while dedicating more money for
parks, street improvements,
etc.   Major kudos to San Carlos
Councilman Mark Olbert, his council
colleagues and his city staff manage-
ment for their leadership and putting
the well-being of their citizens first.
And congratulations to the fine resi-
dents of San Carlos for having a
responsive and responsible city gov-

OPINION
Trump will likely do more harm than
good, including to the working class.
His tariffs show an ignorance of
basic economics and will likely cause
prices to rise for all consumers. His
desire to cripple the Affordable Care
Act poses a threat to the health insur-
ance of many of the working class. His
paranoia about immigration obscures
the fact that the vast majority of peo-
ple who cross our border are not crimi-
nals, but are simply desperate to find a
better life by any means necessary.
They are willing to work hard, very
often at jobs that American citizens
don’t even want.
Does Roseanne want to wash dishes
for 12 hours? And how many jobs is it
worth if Trump’s impulsiveness sinks
us into an international crisis? Since
he fires anyone who may even possi-
bly disagree with him, there are no
limits to what may come out of the
White House now. If you want to talk
about knee-jerk impulses of the “elite”
to mock the working class, what about
knee-jerk impulses of the working
class to vote for a man who is not only
unsuited to be president of this great
nation, but actually presents a threat
to it and its values?

A response to ‘Why stricter gun
laws will not stop the shootings’
Editor,
This response is in reference to the
letter “Why stricter gun laws will not
stop the shootings” by Ross Foti (in
the April 3 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Rambling from gun control to
Christian principles to the U. S.
Supreme Court to Lucifer in a few para-
graphs, Foti’s letter is a diatribe of
religious self-righteousness. He states
that in the 1950s “we had no shoot-
ings, no terrorism, and respect for all
life.”
That pristine picture never existed.
There were shootings and racial dis-
crimination took away any respect for
all life during that period.
According to Foti, all that is needed
to correct this problem “is to simply
go back to Christian principles of
God.” I’m curious, what about people
of other faiths? Should they convert to
Christianity?
America of the 21st century is not
the same “Ozzie and Harriet” America
of the 1950s.
Finally, Foti states that Lucifer is
“the father of lies. ” I’d say that
President Trump is giving Lucifer “a
run for his money” in the lying depart-
ment.

Amid trade fight, Trump says China will do the ’right thing’
By Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amid global fears of an
escalating trade dispute between the U.S. and
China, President Donald Trump suggested
that Beijing will ease trade barriers “because
it is the right thing to do” and that the eco-
nomic superpowers can settle the conflict
that has rattled financial markets, consumers
and businesses.
But fostering more uncertainty, the presi-
dent’s top economic advisers offered mixed
messages Sunday as to the best approach
with China, which has threatened to retaliate
if Washington follows through with its pro-
posed tariffs, even as Trump emphasized his
bond with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“President Xi and I will always be friends,
no matter what happens with our dispute on
trade,” Trump wrote. “China will take down
its Trade Barriers because it is the right thing
to do. Taxes will become Reciprocal & a deal
will be made on Intellectual Property. Great
future for both countries!”
But Trump did not explain why, amid a
week of economic saber-rattling between the
two countries that shook global markets, he
felt confident a deal could be made.
The president made fixing the trade imbal-
ance with China a centerpiece of his presi-
dential campaign, where he frequently used
incendiary language to describe how Beijing
would “rape” the U.S. economically. But
even as Trump cozied up to Xi and pressed
U.N., Singapore concerned Deutsche Bank’s CEO Cryan to be replaced
about rising trade tensions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — The U.N. secretary-general and
the Singaporean foreign minister voiced
concerns about global trade tensions and ris-
ing protectionism during back-to-back
meetings in Beijing on Sunday.
Following remarks from his Chinese coun-
terpart, Singaporean Foreign Minister
Vivian Balakrishnan vowed to “double-
down” on free trade and economic liberaliza-
tion in tandem with China.
“This is a time in the world where the
temptation to embark on unilateralism and
protectionism is unfortunately rising,”
Balakrishnan said.
In a separate meeting, Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres called China “absolutely
crucial” in the international system.
“You mentioned reform and opening up -
it’s so important in a moment when some
others have a policy of closing up,” Guterres
told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
“The solutions for these problems are not
to put globalization to question, but to
improve globalization. Not isolation or pro-
tectionism, but more international coopera-
tion,” Guterres said.
The comments came as China and the U.S.
exchanged escalating tariff threats in what is
already shaping up to be the biggest trade
battle for more than a half century.
Beijing vowed Friday to “counterattack
with great strength” if President Donald
Trump follows through on threats to impose

ratcheted up the economic
pressure and threatened
tariffs, a move opposed
by many fellow
Republicans.
The Trump administra-
Donald Trump tion has said it is taking
action as a crackdown on
China’s theft of U.S. intellectual property.
The U.S. bought more than $500 billion in
goods from China last year and now is plan-
ning or considering penalties on some $150
billion of those imports. The U.S. sold about
$130 billion in goods to China in 2017 and
faces a potentially devastating hit to its mar-
ket there if China responds in kind.
China has pledged to “counterattack with
great strength” if Trump decides to follow
through on his latest threat to impose tariffs
on an additional $100 billion in Chinese
goods — after an earlier announcement that
targeted $50 billion. Beijing also declared
that the current rhetoric made negotiations
impossible, even as the White House sug-
gested that the tariff talk was a way to spur
China to the bargaining table.
The new White House economic adviser,
Larry Kudlow, said Sunday that a “coalition
of the willing” — including Canada, much of
Europe and Australia — was being formed to
pressure China and that the U.S. would
demand that the World Trade Organization, an
tariffs on an additional $100 billion in
Chinese goods.
Trump’s announcement followed China’s
decision to tax $50 billion in American
products, including soybeans and small air-
craft, in response to a U.S. move this week
to impose tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese
goods.
The U.S. bought more than $500 billion

2017 and faces a potentially devastating hit
to its market there if China responds in kind.
In the meetings, Wang attacked what he
called “protectionism and unilateralism,”
though he didn’t single out the U.S. by
name.
“China will safeguard the principles of free
trade and oppose protectionism,” Wang said.
“We should push forward with economic
globalization.”
Wang was welcoming both officials ahead
of their planned appearances at the annual
Boao Forum for Asia, a Chinese-sponsored
annual gathering for political and economic
elites on tropical Hainan Island.
Guterres will meet President Xi Jinping
later Sunday and also plans to visit the China

Reed emerges in Augusta
First major title for
27-year-old Texan
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Patrick Reed became
famous playing for his country. He won for
himself Sunday and became a Masters
champion.
It was never easy, just the way Reed likes it.
Rory McIlroy came after him early.
Jordan Spieth roared to life with a final-
round charge and briefly caught Reed with a
35-foot birdie putt. The last challenge came
from Rickie Fowler, who birdied the last
hole to leave Reed no room for error.
Reed never flinched throughout a raucous
afternoon at Augusta National.
Clinging to a one-shot lead, his 25-foot
putt down the slippery slope on the 18th
green ran 3 feet by the hole as Reed pressed
down both hands, begging it to stop. From
there, the 27-year-old Texan calmly rolled
in the par putt for a 1-under 71 and a one-
shot victory.
“To have to par the last hole to win my
first major, it definitely felt right,” Reed
said from Butler cabin, right before Sergio
Garcia helped him into a green jacket.
The loudest cheers were for everyone else.
Reed earned their respect with two big birdie
putts on the back nine, one crucial par putt
and plenty of grit. He also had a little luck
when his 80-foot putt across the 17th green
hit the hole, keeping it only 6 feet away. He
made that for par to stay in control.
Reed won for the sixth time in his PGA
Tour career, though he was best known for
the trophies he shared at the Ryder Cup and
Presidents Cup. He is ferocious in match
play, especially the team variety, and his
singles victory over McIlroy at Hazeltine
in the 2016 Ryder Cup led to the nickname
of Captain America.
Captain America is now the Masters
champion.
“He’s not scared. I think you guys have
seen that previous from the Ryder Cups and

Ohtani takes perfect game into 7th inning vs. A’s
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM — Shohei Ohtani seemed to be
the only person in Angel Stadium who was-
n’t incredibly impressed while he mowed
down the A’s first 19 batters in order.
But when Ohtani finally yielded a hit and
then struck out Matt Olson with two runners
on to end the seventh inning, he gave a fist
pump and a celebratory scream at the ground
while the crowd rose for a standing ovation.
Even the two-way Japanese sensation
realized his first home pitching start was a
thrilling moment in his increasingly
incredible rookie season.
Ohtani threw seven shutout innings of
one-hit ball in his home debut on the
mound, propelling the Los Angeles Angels
to a 6-1 victory Sunday.
Marcus Semien’s clean one-out single to
left broke up Ohtani’s bid for a perfect
game, but he finished the inning with his
12th strikeout. Mixing 99 mph fastballs
with precipitous breaking pitches and
tremendous professional cool, Ohtani (2-0)
was too much for Oakland — until the sev-
enth, when he showed resilience, too.
“I wanted to keep a clean zero on the
board,” Ohtani said. “One hit would (mean)
two runs, and it’s a huge difference. I want-
ed that strikeout, and I got it.”
Ohtani struck out the side twice during the
latest feat in a series of early season superla-
tives by the 23-year-old prodigy. He won
his pitching debut in Oakland last weekend
with six strong innings, and he homered in
three consecutive games in Anaheim
between starts in his attempt to become the
first regular two-way player in decades.
He was sharp from the beginning on a
gorgeous day in Orange County, striking

leaving him weakened enough that he was
held out of the starting lineup. Bellinger
managed to summon enough strength to
spark a key rally when the slumping
Dodgers needed him most.
Bellinger overcame a bout of food poi-
soning to score the go-ahead run on Kyle
Farmer’s pinch-hit double in the 10th
inning.
“I tried to use him sparingly,” manager
Dave Roberts said. “It was the right time for
him and he mustered up enough energy to
leg that double. That was good to see.”

out the side in the first inning on 15 pitch-
es. Ohtani struck out the side again in the
fifth inning, and he fanned every Oakland
batter except Jonathan Lucroy at least
once.
“He got off to a good start, the crowd got
into it (and) he got a little bit of a generous
strike zone, all of that,” Oakland manager
Bob Melvin said. “But the bottom line is he
pitched really well.”
Jed Lowrie drew a four-pitch walk after
Semien’s single, but Ohtani ended the
threat by inducing Khris Davis’ weak
groundout before fanning Olson. He left the
mound to the last of several standing ova-
ment in the eighth and started the winning
rally with an opposite-field double to lead
off the 10th against Pierce Johnson (0-1).
With two outs and runners on first and sec-
ond, Farmer hit a drive over right fielder
Andrew McCutchen’s head to score Bellinger
with the go-ahead run that gave the Dodgers
a split of a rain-shortened two-game series.
Farmer has three RBIs in 31 career at-bats,
with the other two coming on an 11th
inning double last July to beat the Giants.
“I just keep finding myself in these situa-

Aldon Smith was arrested in San Francisco for
violating a condition of his bail.
Police: Smith violated
monitoring conditions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Authorities say for-
mer Oakland Raiders and San Francisco
49ers player Aldon Smith is back in a
California jail after violating a condition of
his bail.
Online records show the 28-year-old
Smith is being held Sunday in San
Francisco County Jail on $500,000 bond. A
message seeking comment from his attor-
ney, Joshua Bentley, was not immediately
returned.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Nancy Crowley
tells the San Francisco Chronicle that
Smith was booked Friday for violating a
condition of his electronic monitoring
while on bail.
Last month Smith pleaded not guilty to
domestic violence and other charges. A
judge issued a protective order prohibiting
him from contacting the victim. He later
surrendered to police on charges he violated
the restraining order.
The Raiders released the linebacker after
his arrest on the domestic violence charges.
Blach avoided further damage by getting
Logan Forsythe to hit into an inning-end-
ing double play with runners on first and
third.
The Giants threatened in the sixth with
back-to-back, one-out singles from pinch-
hitter Gorkys Hernandez and Austin
Jackson. Joe Panik followed with a sinking
line drive to right field that Puig caught on
his knees. Hernandez ran on the play either
because he lost track of the outs or thought
the ball was going to fall. Instead, he was
easily doubled off second for the final out of
the inning.

It was quite a swan song for Howe. Not only
did the senior lead off the first-place swim in
the 200-yard medley relay by sharing the top

she captured her first-ever NCAA individual
championship in the 100 back, her signature
event, in a meet-record 49.70 seconds.
Throughout her career, she also earned six
relay national championships, with two in
the 200 medley relay in 2016 and ’18, and
four straight in the 400 medley relay from
2015-18.
“Definitely one of my big goals was to just
have fun with swimming and leave it all in the
pool,” Howe said, “because I knew it was
going to be my last year of competitive
swimming.”

Janeiro, Howe wasn’t con-

lon of Olympic con-
tenders. Her best finish
was 12th place overall in
the 200 back, the only
event in which she quali-
fied for the semifinals.
Still, the 2016 Olympic
Simone Manuel trials, as the event has his-
torically been known, was
something of a Stanford coronation as three
Cardinals swimmers — Katie Ledecky, Maya
DiRado and one of Howe’s medley relay team-
mates Simone Manuel — each made the cut.
“It was definitely neat getting to watch
Simone, Katie and Maya qualify for the
Olympics because you know them personal-
ly,” Howe said. “… It’s like they’re my
friends, so it’s a different experience than it
was in 2012 for me. … It was definitely fun to
share those experiences with them.”
When Ledecky announced March 26 she’s
be leaving Stanford to turn pro, it marked the
end of a two-year era. Arguably the greatest
women’s swimmer ever, Ledecky was an

Howe, as much as she was a reserved and

play despite a sprained ankle but sat out the

still recovering from left MCL sprain, Andre
Iguodola (left knee soreness) and Patrick
McCaw (lumbar spine contusion).
The goal these last couple of games is to
avoid any further health issues, Warriors
coach Steve Kerr said.
“But that is more luck of the draw than
anything, ” he said. “I am glad we got
oftentimes quiet presence
out of the pool.
With the two rooming
together this season,
Howe said she enjoyed
watching the younger
Ledecky coming out of
her shell. For the iconic
images of Ledecky’s
Katie Ledecky American-record-shatter-
ing gold medal perform-
ance in the 800-meter freestyle at the 2016
Summer Games, Howe said one of her favorite
memories of Ledecky is of the great one
behind the scenes busting dance moves.
“It was great,” Howe said. “This is the
greatest swimmer ever and she’s busting
dancing moves in our common room.”
Howe’s Stanford career put her in elite com-
pany in more ways than just her living situa-
tion though. As a junior in 2017, Howe broke
the NCAA and American records in the 100
back with a time of 49.69 seconds, eclipsing
a 15-year-old record set by Cal legend, and
former Olympic gold medalist, Natalie
Coughlin.
And as a senior, Howe fronted a Pac-12
championship swim in the 400 medley relay
through this game in a good way health-
wise and did some good things and one more
to go.”
Thompson scored 19 consecutive Warriors
points in the first quarter, going 9 for 11
from the field and 4 for 6 on 3s in the period.
“That was a scorching first quarter,” Kerr
said. “That was fun to watch. He had the
arena pretty excited too every time he went
up for a shot. He had it rolling.”
But Golden State led only 33-29 after one.
The Warriors stretched the lead in the sec-
ond quarter. Durant scored on a 3-pointer —
his first field goal of the game — and added
a driving layup to put the Warriors up 55-
41. Golden State led by as many as 18 in the
second quarter and were up 64-50 at the
break.
The Suns never seriously challenged after
that.

NCAA and American records in the event with
a time of 3:25.15, with Howe’s backstroke
heat clocking at 50.21.
“We were kind of surprised because coming
into that relay we were a little tight … so it
was as nice little surprise,” Howe said.
Howe has officially announced her retire-
ment from swimming. She will be living in
New York City during the summer as she
trades life in the pool for the business world
of the gridiron as she will be serving an
internship for the finance department of the
NFL.
It will be the Portola Valley native’s first
time living out of state. Otherwise, she has
kept it fairly central, with four years at
Stanford preceded by her high school years
just up the road at Sacred Heart Prep.
“I loved attending Sacred Heart,” Howe
said. “I look back and realize I was lucky to
go to such a great school, not just academi-
cally but swimming as well. … It’s great. I’m
still in touch with my friends and professor
there. … So definitely just really happy to go

Crash kills 15 when semi-trailer slams into youth hockey bus
By Jeremy Hainsworth and Rob Gillies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUMBOLDT, Saskatchewan — A hockey
arena became the epicenter of grief for a
small Canadian town on Sunday, as friends,
relatives and those that housed members of
a youth hockey team gathered to mourn 15
people killed when a semi-trailer slammed
into the team’s bus.
Fourteen were also injured, some critical-
ly, in a collision that left a country, its
national sport and the hockey-obsessed
town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan reeling.
The bus had 29 passengers, including the
driver, when it crashed at about 5 p.m.
Friday on Highway 35, police said. Among
the dead are Broncos head coach Darcy
Haugan, team captain Logan Schatz and
radio announcer Tyler Bieber.
Residents of this town of less than 6,000
have been leaving flowers, team jerseys and
personal tributes on the steps of the arena’s
entrance, forming a makeshift memorial. One
tribute included a Kraft macaroni and cheese
dinner box, which was a favorite meal of
deceased forward Evan Thomas. A bouquet of
pink roses adorned the box, which read “to
Evan, game day special, love your billet
brother and sister Colten and Shelby.”
While most of the players were from else-
where in western Canada, they were put up
by families in the small town of Humboldt.
Billeting families are a large part of junior
hockey, with players spending years with
host families.
Dennis Locke, his wife and three young
children came to the arena to hang posters of
forward Jaxon Joseph, who is the son of for-
mer NHL player Chris Joseph. The Locke fam-
ily housed Joseph and treated him like a son.
“Best person ever,” Locke said. “Down to
earth, loved playing with the kids.”
His wife wiped away tears from swollen eyes.
Forward Logan Hunter and defensemen
Stephen Wack, Adam Herold and Xavier Labelle
were also among the dead, according to family
SPORTS
members and others. Assistant coach Mark
Cross, bus driver Glen Doerksen and stats keep-
er Brody Hinz, who was 18, were also killed.
Herold, who would have turned 17 on
Thursday, played for the Regina Pat Canadians
hockey team until just weeks ago, but was sent
to join the Broncos for their playoff round
when the Pat Canadians’ season wrapped up,
said John Smith, the Pat Canadians’ manager.
The names of all the dead and injured have
not been released by police.
Norman Mattock, a longtime season tick-
et holder, said his neighbor housed player
Morgan Gobeil. The defenseman was
severely injured and remains in serious but
stable condition, Mattock said.
He said players become part of the commu-
nity fabric, doing volunteer work or serving
in restaurants. Three players who billeted by
the same family all died in the crash, he added.
“They lost them all,” Mattock said.
The Broncos are a close-knit team who dyed
their hair blond for the playoffs. The bus was
driving the team to a crucial playoff game
Friday against the Nipawin Hawks.

Woods improves in final round MASTERS
at Masters, welcomes a break
By Mark Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods near-
ly aced a hole and made his lone eagle
of the week.
The four-time Masters champion
somewhat returned to form at Augusta
National. It was just a few days too late
to be more than an afterthought at
golf’s first major.
Woods closed with a flurry, record-
ing a 3-under 69 in the final round at
the Masters. He finished 1 over for the
tournament, 16 strokes behind winner
Patrick Reed and in a four-way tie for
32nd.
It was far from what the 42-year-old
Woods wanted, but he left the hallowed
grounds feeling better about his game
than he did a few days before and more
encouraged than his last few trips to
Augusta National.
Woods last played the event in
2015. He returned the last two years
for the champions’ dinner, but didn’t
get on the course. The hiatus left him
feeling nostalgic during his walk to
the 18th green.
“This is one of the greatest walks in
all of golf,” Woods said afterward.
“And I had missed it for the last couple
of years. I hadn’t been able to play in
it, so now I’m glad I’m competing in
this tournament. And to face the chal-
lenges out there, I missed it. I really
did. I missed playing out here. I missed
competing against these guys. Such a
great event. Best (event) in all of our
sport.”

than a dozen shots out of the lead and
knew he would need something special
to happen to get back in contention. It
never happened. Never even came
close, either.
But there were some glimpses
Sunday in his traditional red shirt.
Woods had two birdies and an eagle
on the back and looked like he would
get to even par for the event. He
lamented his iron play for the fourth
straight day and loathed two three-
putts, including one for bogey on No.
18.
“Another loose day with the irons,”
he said. “And I putted awful. It was

Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
possibly the highest score I could
have shot today. All in all, a bitter-
sweet ending.”
He still drew one of the round’s
largest galleries, giving spectators a
reason to get to the course long before
the leaders arrived at the practice
range. They simply wanted to catch a
glimpse of one of golf’s greatest play-
ers.
Woods is assured of moving back
into the top 100 in the world, notable
only because he was at No. 1,199 just
over four months ago when he returned
from yet another long layoff follow-
ing a fourth back surgery.
“I think things are progressing,” he
said. “It was a little bit disappointing
I didn’t hit my irons as well as I needed
to for this particular week. You miss it
just a touch here it gets magnified. And
I just didn’t do a good enough job this
week in that regard. But overall I’m
five or six tournaments into it, to be
able to compete out here and to score
like I did, it feels good.”
Woods plans to take some time off
in April, maybe even putting the clubs
in the closet for a few weeks to “kind
of get away for a while.”
“The run up to this event is pretty
hard and pretty grueling,” said Woods,
who finished 12th, tied for second and
tied for fifth in three tournaments on
the Florida Swing. “I pushed myself
pretty hard to get ready. And I peaked

at it four times over the course of my
career, and it’s tiring.”
He can take some solace in making
six birdies or better in the final round
— nearly as many as he made in the
first three rounds combined.
The best one came early Sunday.
Woods nearly aced the 240-yard, par-3
fourth. His tee shot landed a few feet
short of the flag, bounced a couple of
times and then skirted by the left edge
of the hole. He was left with a left-to-
right-breaking 10-footer that he
dropped in the left side of the cup.
His eagle putt at the par-5 15th was
even better. He drained a sweeping 30-
footer after reaching the green in two.
Those shots provided a brief snippet
of what might have been at Augusta
National had Woods had better control
with his irons.
Woods missed greens right and left,
never really getting approach shots in
the precise spots on treacherous
greens. His errant ways left him start-
ing a lot sooner than expected Sunday
and finishing shortly after the leaders
teed off.
“My swing is slightly off,” he said.
“I was pleased with the way I was able
to drive it, but I just could not convert
with my irons. I struggled with obvi-
ously controlling the shape. Can’t
control the shape. Can’t control the
distance. And it was one of those
weeks in that regard.”

the way he plays,” said Fowler, who closed with a 67. “He
won’t back down. I don’t necessarily see him as someone
that backs up and will let you come back into the tourna-
ment. You have to go catch him.”
Fowler did his best with three birdies in a four-hole
stretch, and an 8-foot birdie on the final hole. It still wasn’t
enough. Fowler was runner-up for the
third time in a major. He left the scoring
cabin when Reed tapped in for par.
“Glad I at least made the last one, make
him earn it,” Fowler said with a grin as he
waited to greet the newest major champi-
on.
“You had to do it didn’t you?” Reed told
him as they exchanged a hug. “You had to
Rickie Fowler birdie the last.”
Spieth put up the most unlikely fight
and was on the verge of the greatest
comeback in Masters history. He started
nine shots behind going into the final
round, and was inches away on two shots
from a chance at another green jacket.
His tee shot on the 18th clipped the
last branch in his way, dropping his ball
some 267 yards from the green. His 8-
foot par putt for a record-tying 63 nar-
Jordan Spieth rowly missed on the right. He had to set-
tle for a 64.
“I think I’ve proven to myself and to others that you never
give up,” Spieth said. “I started the round nine shots back
and I came out with the idea of just playing the golf course
and having a lot of fun doing it and try to shoot a low round
and finish the tournament strong and see what happens, if
something crazy happens.”
McIlroy, meanwhile, will have to wait another year for a
shot at the career Grand Slam.
Trailing by three shots to start the final round, he closed
to within one shot after two holes. That was as close as he
came. McIlroy’s putter betrayed him, and he was never a fac-
tor on the back nine. He closed with a 74 and tied for fifth.
The gallery was clearly behind McIlroy, even though Reed
led Augusta State to a pair of NCAA titles and briefly lived in
Augusta.
He was met with polite applause on the first tee. The
throaty cheer was for McIlroy, and it looked as though the
28-year-old from Northern Ireland atone himself from
shooting 80 in the final round and losing a four-shot lead.
Reed scrambled for a bogey on the opening hole. He failed
to get up-and-down from a bunker on the par-5 second as
McIlroy had a 4-foot eagle putt to tie for the lead. McIlroy
missed badly, a sign of what would to come. He missed four
putts inside 10 feet on the front nine, and he missed a 3-foot
par on the 14th.
Different about this victory for Reed was the fuchsia shirt he
wore as part of a Nike script. Reed always wears black pants
and a red shirt because that’s what Tiger Woods does, and Reed
has long modeled his mental game after Woods. “Be stub-
born,” he once said about learning by watching Woods.
Reed went to the back nine with a four-shot lead over four
players, and they all had their chances. That included Jon
Rahm, the 23-year-old from Spain, whose chances ended
when he went after the flag on the par-5 15th and came up
short in the water. He shot 69 and finished fourth.
Reed’s only bogey on the back nine was at No. 11 from a
tee shot into the trees. He answered with a 25-foot birdie on
the 12th, and a shot into 8 feet at No. 14 for a birdie that
broke the tie with Spieth. He made all pars from there. That’s
all he needed.
He became the fourth straight Masters champion to cap-
ture his first major.
Reed once claimed after winning a World Golf
Championship at Doral that he was a top 5 player in the
world, which subjected him to ridicule. This victory moves
him to No. 11. It also comes with a green jacket, which
earns far more respect and notoriety.

‘A Quiet Place’ roars at box office Beware the
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — John Krasinksi’s “A Quiet
Place” made a thunderous debut at the box
office, opening with $50 million in ticket
sales and rumbling to the year’s second-best
weekend after “Black Panther,” according to
studio estimates Sunday.
The Paramount Pictures thriller far exceed-
ed expectations to land one of the top open-
ing weekends for a horror release. It marks
an unlikely breakthrough for Krasinski, the
former “Office” star many associate more
with inter-office romance and deadpan
expressions than silent cinematic frights.
Krasinski’s third directing effort, which
stars himself and wife Emily Blunt is about
a family in a future dystopia populated by
violent creatures with extremely acute hear-
ing.
But it was far from the only success story
on the weekend, which also saw Universal’s
R-rated comedy “Blockers” open solidly

tual-reality adventure “Ready Player One”
dip only 40 percent with $25.1 million in

said One Step Beyond focuses not only on
providing meaningful learning opportuni-
ties for its participants but also setting future
goals for them, whether it’s employment or
living independently.
“A lot of parents will say just the fact that
my daughter or son comes to the program and
I know that they’re actually going out into
the community and not just staying at a pro-
gram center all day long is the best thing,”
she said.
Having grown up with an older sister who
has Down syndrome, Rogers-Blanton knows
how limited the options available to individ-
uals with disabilities can be. Challenges
with staying on task, picking up on social
cues and a lack of support or training are
among the obstacles individuals with these
types of disabilities face while they are in a
traditional education system. But these chal-
lenges can become barriers to independent
living and job opportunities when they grad-
uate, which is where One Step Beyond can
play a role, said Rogers-Blanton.
In the two years since the nonprofit has
opened its doors in San Mateo, it has formed
partnerships with organizations like the
Habitat for Humanity ReStore in San Carlos,
the Samaritan House in San Mateo and Big
Wave Farm in Half Moon Bay to create vol-
unteer opportunities for program partici-
pants and help them experience what holding
a job is like. Activities like cooking lunch
for the group or filing papers and answering
phones in the office also help program par-

its second weekend and

“Chappaquiddick” beat
expectations with a
debut of $6.2 million. In
limited release, Wes
Anderson’s “Isle of
Dogs,” Lynne Ramsay’s
“You Were Never Really
John Krasinski Here” and Andrew
Haigh’s “Lean on Pete”
all did well, too.
For one weekend, at least, just about
everything Hollywood could throw at
moviegoers worked. The weekend was up
35.3 percent from last year.
But nothing approached the runaway suc-
cess of “A Quiet Place.” Hollywood had fore-
cast closer to $30 million for the film,
which cost just $17 million to make. Yet “A
Quiet Place” rode strong buzz from its
SXSW premiere in March, good reviews (97
percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and
moviegoers’ continuing thirst for horror.
“We always knew we had something spe-
cial from the first screenings. But you don’t
ticipants build skills they can use in jobs in
the food service or administrative industries,
she said.
Rogers-Blanton said the nonprofit is
working toward finding paid job opportuni-
ties for its program participants in the next
year, but she’ll need to find additional space
for the expansion. Having operated day pro-
grams for some 15 years, the organization is
no stranger to expanding its services,
explained Rogers-Blanton. She said her
mother, Mimi Rogers, opened the nonprof-
it’s first day program in Glendale, Arizona in
2003 to see if she could provide opportuni-
ties for her sister Dylan Rogers beyond what
other day programs could provide.
Rogers-Blanton was in high school when
her mother, the nonprofit’s founder, started
creating the program and remembers what it
was like to think about her sister’s options
after high school, which she said felt was
limited to day programs that would keep her
occupied with activities but not necessarily
prepare her for independent living or a job
down the road. Now that the program has
grown to serve more than 400 individuals at
three campuses in the Phoenix area, Rogers-
Blanton said the nonprofit’s San Mateo loca-
tion is its first step to scaling the programs
they’ve developed nationally.
Word about One Step Beyond’s music pro-
grams, job training and community-based
activities has spread to the point where
Rogers-Blanton estimates she receives a
referral a day. But the rising cost of opera-
tions in the Bay Area is cause for concern for
Rogers-Blanton, who wonders about the
nonprofit’s ability to expand or offer the
enriching programs beyond its standard set
of services.
get to a number like this without breaking
free of the genre. I think this is about great
storytelling,” said Kyle Davies, head of
domestic distribution for Paramount, who
heaped praise on Krasinski. “We’re looking
forward to what else he has up his sleeve.”
“A Quiet Place” is also a badly needed hit
for Paramount, which has struggled mighti-
ly at the box office in recent years while its
ownership has sometimes been in limbo.
Earlier this week, CBS Corp. submitted a
bid to acquire Viacom Inc., Paramount’s par-
ent company.
Though greenlit under the previous leader-
ship, “A Quiet Place” is the first major suc-
cess under Jim Gianopulos, who took over
as studio head a year ago. The opening is
Paramount’s biggest since 2016’s “Star
Trek Beyond” and its best non-franchise
opening since 2013’s “World War Z.”
“Blockers” also heralds a filmmaking
breakthrough aided by an enthusiastic
response from SXSW audiences. The film,
which cost about $21 million to make, is
the directorial debut of Kay Cannon, a writer
whose credits include “30 Rock.”
“I think the scariest part about it is we are
full now, we’re at capacity,” she said. “But
yet there are still hundreds of individuals
with disabilities who are graduating just this
year and are going to need programs like
ours.”
Between reimbursements from the Golden
Gate Regional Center, a team of dedicated
volunteers and contributions from local
donors, the nonprofit is able to support its
activities, said the nonprofit’s director of
philanthropic development Jon
Petersmeyer. He added that in-kind dona-
tions, such as a van One Step Beyond can use
to transport program participants, can often
make a big difference in what the organiza-
tion is able to offer.
For 27-year-old Half Moon Bay resident
Emmy, who has been participating in the
program since it started operations in San
Mateo, being able to play bass in a band and
try cheerleading with a volunteer are among
the activities she’s enjoyed. Though she
lives with her family now, Emmy is on a path
to living independently with roommates in
the coming months, Rogers-Blanton said.
“I think this program gets me to a point
where I’m like, ‘OK, I can do this,’” she said.
“You know, sometimes it’s not as easy as we
all think … there’s certain days where I get
frustrated or upset and, you know, you just
have to find a way to be happy, but some-
times that’s the hard part.”

lizard people
N
ot sure how I missed this when it
first hit the news but as reported
back a few weeks ago the Parkland
Police Department (a community outside
Tacoma, Washington) responded to calls of
a heavily armed man standing next to his
car in the middle of the street. It is, tragi-
cally, clearly no joke these days when
someone is out in pub-
lic brandishing
weapons. Fortunately,
the police were able to
talk him into volun-
tarily coming into
their custody without
further incident. The
fellow explained his
actions were due to his
having heard that
morning from
President Donald Trump: the leader of the
free world, he explained, had called to
regretfully inform this Parkland resident
that his family had been abducted by the
lizard people; specifically by their Alpha
Dragon Leader.
In the same interview, the self-styled
reptile-people combatant also acknowl-
edged his unorthodox nutritional plan
which was basically snorting methamphet-
amine to drop a bunch of unwanted pounds.
Obviously anticipating that the police
officers might just add 1 and 1 (in this case
that’s lizard people + drugs) and discover
that the answer is 2, the individual
explained “the meth doesn’t make me
crazy, man. The lizard people are real!” As
last reported, the gentleman was escorted
to a hospital for evaluation and, assumed-
ly, drug rehab treatment. There is no report
of criminal charges being filed.
Not that the man’s plan was entirely
misguided, mind you. When asked why he
exited his car in the middle of the road with
guns drawn, he explained his intent was
not to incite violence but instead to cause
a commotion so that that the media would
share his story and garner support to rescue
his family from their reptilian captors,
which is basically what I am doing here.
As someone who shares an office with two
tortoises and almost always has snakes,
lizards and turtles looking for homes, I
can’t say I’m thrilled with a new bad rap on
reptiles but, what the heck: Be on the
lookout.

Blaze on 50th floor of Trump Tower in New York kills one
By Karen Matthews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A raging fire that tore
through a 50th-floor apartment at Trump
Tower killed a man inside and sent flames
and thick, black smoke pouring from win-
dows of the president’s namesake sky-
scraper.
New York Fire Commissioner Daniel
Nigro said the cause of Saturday’s blaze is
not yet known but the apartment was “virtu-
ally entirely on fire” when firefighters
arrived after 5:30 p.m.
“It was a very difficult fire, as you can
imagine,” Nigro told reporters outside the
building in midtown Manhattan. “The apart-
ment is quite large.”
Todd Brassner, 67, who was in the apart-
ment, was taken to a hospital and died a
short time later, the New York Police
Department said. Property records obtained

Noting the project’s location in the heart of

Supervisor David Canepa emphasized its

look like in the decades to come. Canepa said
actions to improve the setting where resi-
dents go for government services are long
overdue as the county campus buildings like
the Hall of Justice, which was built in 1954
and houses the Board of Supervisors’ meeting
chambers, county employee offices and

was an art dealer who had purchased his unit
in 1996.
Officials said four firefighters also suffered
minor injuries. An investigation is ongo-
ing.
Shortly after news of the fire broke,
President Donald Trump, who was in
Washington, tweeted: “Fire at Trump Tower
is out. Very confined (well built building).
Firemen (and women) did a great job.
THANK YOU!”
Asked if that assessment was accurate,
Nigro said, “It’s a well-built building. The
upper floors, the residence floors, are not
sprinklered.”
Fire sprinklers were not required in New
York City high-rises when Trump Tower was
completed in 1983. Subsequent updates to
the building code required commercial sky-
scrapers to install the sprinklers retroac-
tively, but owners of older residential high-
rises are not required to install sprinklers
unless the building undergoes major renova-
courtrooms, have aged.
“The residents of the county, the workers
who work in the building deserve a place that
represents what San Mateo County is all
about,” he said. “When you have a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity to create a world-class
building, if the county does not seize on this
opportunity or if we do something that’s sub-
par, it does not serve the residents nor does it
serve the workers.”
Across Marshall Street on the back side of
the San Mateo County History Museum, the
project site makes it ripe to become a desti-
nation for San Mateo County residents, said
Canepa, who added the building’s innovative
design could go a long way toward sending a
message that residents can receive county
services in a friendly environment.
Having served on a committee to review the
plans alongside Canepa, Supervisor Don
Horsley is also looking to an architectural
design featuring natural sunlight and wood
elements to represent the county’s rich natu-

tions.
Some fire-safety advocates pushed for a
requirement that older apartment buildings
be retrofitted with sprinklers when New York
City passed a law requiring them in new res-
idential highrises in 1999, but officials in
the administration of then-mayor Rudy
Giuliani said that would be too expensive.
Nigro noted that no member of the Trump
family was in the 664-foot tower Saturday.
Trump’s family has an apartment on the
top floors of the 58-story building, but he
has spent little time in New York since tak-
ing office. The headquarters of the Trump
Organization is on the 26th floor.
Nigro said firefighters and Secret Service
members checked on the condition of
ral history.
The project is one of
several included in a $700
million, five-year capital
plan the Board of
Supervisors approved last
year, including IT
improvements, new facil-
ities and projects in the
David Canepa county’s Parks and Public
Works departments.
Horsley noted plans for the new building
have long been in the works, in part to
absorb the relocation of several hundred
administrative employees working at the
county’s Health System Campus in San
Mateo as a project to seismically retrofit
structures there unfolds. The $100 million
project will require the demolition of two
buildings as part of state-mandated seismic
retrofits.
Combined with pressure from the San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury to reduce the
number of properties the county is renting,
Horsley found the decision to build a new
building to be as much aspirational as it is
practical. According to 2017 report on the
capital improvement plan, consolidating and
relocating county workers could save the
county up to $42 million in rent over the next
10 years.
“We’re finally in a good position to be able
to do it and … we’re also pressed to do it at the
same time,” said Horsley.
By taking up half of the block bounded by
Hamilton Street, Marshall Street and
Middlefield Road, the project will require the
relocation of the historic Lathrop House to a
lot adjacent to the back of the history museum

Trump’s apartment. About 200 firefighters
and emergency medical service workers
responded to the fire, he said.
Some residents said they didn’t get any
notification from building management to
evacuate.
Lalitha Masson, a 76-year-old resident,
called it “a very, very terrifying experi-
ence.”
Masson told The New York Times that she
did not receive any announcement about
leaving, and that when she called the front
desk no one answered.
“When I saw the television, I thought we
were finished,” said Masson, who lives on
the 36th floor with her husband, Narinder,
who is 79 and has Parkinson’s disease.
She said she started praying because she
felt it was the end.
“I called my oldest son and said goodbye
to him because the way it looked everything
was falling out of the window, and it remind-
ed me of 9/11,” Masson said.
across the street. Bazan said relocation of the
county’s traffic and small claims building
adjacent to the Lathrop House is also being
considered in the plans, though officials are
still in discussions of how the county’s serv-
ices can best be arranged in the new facilities.
A new 800- to 1,200-space parking garage
built on top of the current surface jury parking
lot is expected to provide parking for the new
building. Bazan said the increasing cost of
construction and a new policy to ensure the
facilities are energy efficient may increase
cost estimates, which stood at $86.8 million
for the new building, $36.5 million for the
parking structure and $900,000 for the reloca-
tion of the Lathrop House in a Feb. 27 version
of the five-year capital improvement plan.
The plan also estimated the Lathrop House
relocation to take place in the summer of
2018 as well as completion dates of spring of
2021 for the new building and fall of 2020 for
the parking structure.
Bazan and Horsley looked to feedback from
an upcoming April 24 study session with the
Board of Supervisors and upcoming discus-
sions with Redwood City officials and resi-
dents to further shape the plans.
Acknowledging some may have concerns
about the size of the budget for the projects,
Canepa said the last thing he would want to do
with an opportunity to redefine the county
center for years to come is cut corners.
“This is going to take an investment,” he
said. “It’s going to take resources and if we
make the right decision in how we appropriate
the resources, we can surely have a world-class
building that reflects technology, that reflects
innovation, that reflects transparency in gov-
ernment.”

27 meeting.
The project applies to the heavily traf-
ficked Alameda de las Pulgas corridor from
Ralston Avenue to Club Drive, which is in
the vicinity of Tierra Linda Middle and
Carlmont High schools.
While the project is still in its infancy
and the ultimate design far from set in
stone, the 2016 study did identify a concep-
tual plan after numerous rounds of commu-
nity and stakeholder input.
That plan includes the installation of new
and wider sidewalks, high visibility cross-
walks, three mini-roundabouts along
Alameda de las Pulgas and additional access
points with turn restrictions to both
schools, as well as a new traffic signal at
Alameda de las Pulgas and Carlmont Drive.
The plan also entails modifications to traf-
installing a pedestrian-only plaza near
Carlmont as well as positioning crossing
guards at each of the three roundabouts.
Public Works Director Afshin Oskoui said
the plans identified in 2016 will serve as a
foundation for the eventual design and could
be modified based on further analysis of
traffic volumes, circulation and any other
changes to the area that may have taken
place over the past two years.
He predicts a four- to six-month timeline
to get a design team on board, and up to a
year of work before design plans will be
ready for additional community input.
“The path to trying to improve traffic, in
this case on Alameda de las Pulgas and San
Carlos Avenue, is not a one-shot action,”
Mayor Doug Kim said. “It’s a series of study
and further analysis and we’re working
through a community process and the city
of San Carlos to look at a variety of options
and settle on what the community thinks is
the best solution.”
The project is the result of a multi-juris-
dictional partnership including the Sequoia
Union High School District and San Carlos
Elementary School District in addition to
the cities of San Carlos and Belmont.
San Carlos will vote to join Belmont in
advancing to the design phase on Monday,
and San Carlos Councilman Ron Collins,
who has worked closely on the project for
in which the agenda item is pulled from the
consent calendar, much less not approved.
“We all understand how important this
project is,” he said.
While San Carlos appears to be on board,
Stone said he’s eager to reconvene with the
school districts, which haven’t met with the
cities about this project for about a year and
have seen some turnover since the 2016
study.
“I would love it if they have the resources
to help out, but I’m extremely sensitive to
school district budgeting constraints,” he
said.
Collins also acknowledged school dis-
trict budget constraints, and suggested they
could instead contribute land.
As the design process moves forward,
Oskoui said city staff is exploring grants
and other funding opportunities.
“When it’s completed, this project will be
an improvement for more people than any
other project we could do, including exist-
ing conditions,” Collins said.

YIMBY
Continued from page 1
a handful of housing advocates would
appear at a local city council meeting
to speak in favor of a project. Now it
is common to see dozens of YIMBYs
publicly attempting to persuade offi-
cials.
With their growth comes greater
sophistication as well, she said, as
YIMBYs have turned from bluntly
calling for more housing to address-
ing land use policies such as zoning
definitions, height limits, density
requirements and more detailed mat-
ters.
“We’ve definitely gotten nerdier in
the past few years, that’s for sure,”
said Tanjuatco Ross.
The progression has been notice-
able for local legislators working to
enact some of their favored policies as
well, according to Assemblyman
David Chiu, D-San Francisco.
“I’ve seen the evolution in their
advocacy from simply showing up to
being much more strategic, tactical
and being more sophisticated in what
they advocate for,” he said.
Momentum building
Their polished tack aligns with
growing awareness and appreciation
of their efforts at the state Capitol, as
lawmakers and YIMBYs are working
in tandem to fight the state’s housing
crisis.
Meanwhile, exorbitant rents and
real estate prices persist across the
Bay Area and much of the state, rais-
ing questions regarding the effective-
ness of the movement. And not all of
the group’s legal efforts pay dividends
either, as East Bay courts last year
rejected an effort to sue for develop-
ment of 315 units in Lafayette.
Proponents though will point
toward approval of large develop-
ments locally in Millbrae and San
Mateo as partial testaments to their
organizing. Tanjuatco Ross considers
the uptick in strategic planning a sign
of success as well.
“People are starting to connect the
dots about long-term policy and the
implication that has. It’s not a proj-
ect-by-project strategy that we have
and that is contributing to our effica-
cy.”
Last year’s slate of new state hous-
ing laws also gives the advocacy
group more leeway to push for devel-
opment, which San Mateo City
Attorney Shawn Mason said should be
recognized by local officials.
“The city councils and planning
commissions are on the front lines
and they are having to meet the inter-
est of the community while also com-
plying with these new legal require-
