MARIN SCHOOLS
FIELDS GET UPGRADES
Construction workers are dwarfed as a massive light tower is raised while work continues on the new sports stadium at

Makeovers are under-
way at sports fields across
Marin, with five schools
overhauling athletic fields
and planning improve-
ments over the next couple
years at a combined cost of
some $32 million.
Fields at both high
schools in the San Rafael
City Schools district, as well
as the two high schools in
the Novato Unified School
District and the College of
Marin will all look a bit dif-
ferent in short order.

ANALYSIS
Newsom wasn’t always a liberal crusader
Some positions shift for governor hopeful
By Christopher Cadelago
The Sacramento Bee
When he took his seat
on the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors, Gavin New-
som wasn’t exactly the left-
leaning stalwart who would
emerge two decades later as
the front-runner for Califor-
nia governor.
Newsom’s appointment in
1997 was viewed as provid-
ing a dose of moderation to
the liberal board. A 29-year-
old wine and hospitality en-
trepreneur backed by Getty
oil fortunes and the city’s po-
litical elite, he described him-
self as a “dogmatic fiscal con-

purpose field. The project,
which is expected to cost
$9.6 million, was funded
by bond measures total-
ing $161 million approved
by voters in November 2015.
Miller Field, used for
football, soccer, lacrosse
and track, was the last
grass field for those sports
in the Marin County Ath-
letic League. The new field
will be “more aligned with
other high schools in Marin
County,” according to the
project website.
Jose de la Rosa, San Ra-
fael’s athletic director, said
the project is expected to be
finished in mid-April.
Across town, Terra Linda
High will get a new sur-
face on its turf field, with
that project expected to be
done in late June or early
July, according to athletic
director Steve Farbstein.
A total $600,000 of the $1
million needed for the proj-
ect is covered by the facil-
ities user fees and from
other district funds — but
not from the district’s bond

So rare was his profile in the

nation’s direction
Trump volatility, other issues
overshadow healthy economy
By Laurie Kellman and Emily Swanson
The Associated Press
Chester Trahan’s grandchildren are working,
so he’s feeling better about the economy these
days. But his view of the country’s overall direc-
tion is pretty grim, darkened by what he sees as
a surge in racism and violence fueled by Presi-
dent Donald Trump.
“He stimulated it. Those people were always
there, but he gave them a voice,” said Trahan, a
78-year-old retiree from Palm Coast, Florida. He’s
not about to give Trump credit even for the good
stuff. “I don’t think he’s really done anything to
help the economy out. It’s been doing pretty well
for awhile.”
Trahan’s conflicted outlook of America under
Trump — the economy is headed in a better direc-
tion than the country overall — is widely shared.

Governor’s plans
Meanwhile Friday, Flor-
ida Gov. Rick Scott un-
veiled his school safety
proposals as teachers re-
turned for the first time to
the high school since the
shooting.
Scott, a Republican
widely expected to run
for the Senate, outlined
his plan at a Tallahassee
news conference. In ad-
dition to banning firearm
sales to anyone under 21,
the governor called for a
trained law enforcement
officer for every school —
and one for every 1,000
students at larger schools
— by the time the fall 2018
school year begins.

Byrne said the project

summer, and the old pool

governor’s $500 million
plan would create a “violent
threat restraining order”
that would let a court pro-
hibit a violent or mentally
ill person from purchasing
or possessing a firearm or
any other weapon under
certain circumstances.
Mental illness
The proposal would also
strengthen gun purchase
and possession restric-
tions for mentally ill peo-
ple under the state’s Baker
Act, which allows someone
to be involuntarily hospi-
talized for up to 72 hours.
Scott is seeking $50 mil-
lion for initiatives that in-
clude expanding mental
health services by provid-
ing counseling, crisis man-
agement and other mental
health services for youth
and young adults.

the country were consid-
ered outrageously liberal,
Newsom repeatedly irri-
tated his party’s left, which
looked askance at his prag-
matism and his opposition
to tax increases. Advocates
for the homeless assailed
his plans, dismissing him
as an elitist with little no-
tion of what it meant to be
poor. They called him con-
servative and pelted him
with cream pies for being
“pro-development,” as they
put it then.
His aides saw the char-
acterization as unfair, ar-
guing that his real role
in San Francisco was as a
change agent.
Yet even after he became
nationally known for his
liberal bravado, beginning
with his trailblazing push
for gay marriage, Newsom
as mayor never shed the la-
bel of “pro-business Dem-
ocrat.”
Now 50, after his seven
years as lieutenant gov-
ernor – a position with
few built-in responsibil-
ities – a different Gavin
Newsom has emerged in
a state where Democratic
Party priorities are begin-
ning to look more like San
Francisco’s.
Defenders
A review by The Sac-
ramento Bee found New-
som, a Kentfield resident,
has shifted his positions to
the left on issues ranging
from sanctuary cities to
high-speed rail and char-
ter schools. Some of the
changes have made him
vulnerable to the critique
that he’s flip-flopped.
Newsom declined re-
peated requests for inter-
views for this story. To
his supporters, the candi-
date remains the same lib-
eral problem solver who al-
lowed same-sex marriages
and championed gun con-
trol and legal weed. They
contend he takes a big-pic-
ture approach and spans
insular party divides. And
they also stress that he has
taken the most liberal po-
sitions in the governor’s
race.

ing from a $265 million
bond voters passed in 2016.
The first phase, said
athletic director Ryan By-
rne, is anything that does
not involve approval from
the Division of the State
Architect, a department
that “provides design and
construction oversight
for K–12 schools, commu-
nity colleges, and various
other state-owned and
leased facilities.” It is hap-
pening now and forcing

than Click said in a writ-
ten statement.
“He has continued this
record of courageous, pro-
gressive leadership as lieu-
tenant governor by cham-
pioning historic criminal
justice reforms, environ-
mental protection, and
gun safety efforts. Anyone
suggesting otherwise is ig-
noring history and obvious
facts.”
Charter schools
Newsom’s current plat-
form includes government-
run, universal health care,
full-service community
schools open every day and
a state bank to finance in-
frastructure, small busi-
nesses and the marijuana
industry he helped legit-
imize. The policies he fa-
vors, ripped from liberal
wish lists, would add sig-
nificant costs to the state
budget. He’s been en-
dorsed by organized la-
bor’s heaviest hitters, in-
cluding groups represent-
ing hundreds of thousands
of nurses, firefighters and
teachers.
A s a candidate for
mayor, however, Newsom
touted the successes of
charter schools and got
backing from their pro-
ponents. “Charter schools
provide an opportunity
for parents, community
leaders and other educa-
tion entrepreneurs to ex-
plore new and better ways
of reaching and educating
our youth,” read a policy
paper from his first may-
oral run.
The California Teachers
Association, no fan of char-
ter schools, in its endorse-
ment questionnaire for the

of the candidates whether
they think the number of
charter schools in the state
should increase. W hen

A proposed redevelopment of the Corte Madera Best Western Inn has stalled, and town officials are looking

The Corte Madera Town Coun-

a list of incentives for hotel de-

town goals — such as encourag-
ing clean energy and community
amenities such as restaurants —
but also give applicants special al-
lowances to build modestly larger
projects.
“We really need the hotels,”
Mayor Carla Condon said. “Peo-
ple don’t realize how important
they are.”
The proposition comes after
two hotel proposals in town have

primary election if all the peo-
ple who have taken out nom-
ination papers so far actually
file.
The early deadline for filing
is March 9, with an extension to
March 14 for any seat for which
an incumbent officeholder does
not file. If local candidates re-
ceive more than 50 percent of
the vote in the June primary
they are re-elected. Otherwise
a runoff election takes place in
November.
Perhaps most notably Toni
Shroyer, an agent with Bradley
Real Estate, has taken out pa-
pers and created a campaign
website to challenge District
5 Supervisor Judy Arnold.
Shroyer ran against Arnold in
2014, losing by just 215 votes,
less than 2 percent of the vote.
Shroyer gained attention with
her vocal opposition to Plan
Bay Area, a regionwide effort
to address climate change
by encouraging new housing
growth along existing trans-
portation corridors.
Arnold announced in Octo-
ber that she will seek a fourth
term.
Dan Monte of San Anselmo,
a retired general contractor
and paratransit bus driver, has
taken out papers to challenge
Assemblyman Marc Levine,
D-Greenbrae. On his cam-
paign website, Monte states
that he is part of a group of
activists working for “Guaran-
teed Healthcare.”
Veronica Jacobi, a Democrat
who failed in her bid to unseat
Levine in 2016, has taken out
papers to challenge state Sen.
Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg.
Jacobi, who served on the
Santa Rosa City Council from
2006 to 2010, works as a me-
chanical engineer specializing
in energy management.
Two people have taken out
papers to fill the shoes of re-
tiring District Attorney Ed Ber-
berian. They are Marin Deputy
District Attorney A.J. Brady
and Anna Pletcher, a lawyer
who spent 10 years working in
the anti-trust division of the
U.S. Department of Justice. An-
other Marin deputy district at-
torney, Lori Frugoli, has also
confirmed she plans to run, al-
though she has not yet taken
out papers. All three have cre-
ated campaign websites.
Matt Nagle of Fairfax, prin-
cipal at West Marin School in
Point Reyes Station, has taken
out papers to challenge long-
time Marin County Superin-
tendent of Schools Mary Jane
Burke. Nagle, whose mother
is Mexican, said he intends to
run and focus his campaign
on Mexican-American student
achievement countywide.
Shelly Scott, a longtime ap-
praiser in the Marin County
assessor’s office, has taken
out papers to run for the job
of Marin County assessor-re-
corder-county clerk. Scott lost
a bid for the position in 2010
to the current assessor-re-
corder-county clerk, Richard
Benson, in 2010. Benson, who

ABOUT TOWN: BELVEDRE/TIBURON
TV host discusses investment advice
Pam Krueger is all
about money. She’s been
a Tiburon resident for
more than 26
years, co-host
of “Money-
Track” on 250
PBS stations
and a na-
Gil Zeimer tional spokes-
woman for
the Institute for the Fi-
duciary Standard, a non-
profit that promotes finan-
cial transparency — that
advisers, brokers and in-
surance agents offering in-
vestment advice behave as
fiduciaries.
She’ll partner with in-
vestment adviser Tim Mc-
Carthy on Tuesday at the
Belvedere-Tiburon Library
to explain the steps you
can take to protect your-
self from poor or conflict-
ing advice when hiring a
financial adviser.
“I was shocked to read
that Reuters discovered at
least 30 percent of brokers
have red flags on their re-
cords,” said Krueger, 55.
“So if you run to hire an
adviser because you’re
freaked out about stock
market volatility, don’t go
to just anyone, especially
not a broker who’s a sales-
man for his or her compa-
ny’s own investments.”
That’s why Krueger
launched Wealthramp.
com, a free online service
to help consumers find
the right fiduciary finan-
cial adviser with the right
experience to match each
family’s particular needs.
“There are easy steps to
vetting a financial adviser
who really meets the fidu-
ciary definition,” Krueger
said. “Pinkie swear doesn’t
work. They’ve got to put in
writing that they adhere
to the highest standards.”
McCarthy, 66, spent 30
years heading up three
of Asia’s largest financial
service firms and served
as president and COO of
Charles Schwab. He’s just
authored “The Safe Inves-
tor: How To Make Your
Money Grow in a Vola-
tile Global Economy.” The
book is intended to:
• Help structure a life
financial plan to earn a
higher return than a bank,
but with less risk than
trading.

Peace and hip-hop
Ryan Davis, 35, has
been teaching third and
fourth grades at Bel Aire
School since 2011. He’s
also deeply involved as a
counselor for the Mosaic
Project, an Oakland-based
program that emphasizes
leadership, peace and un-
derstanding among youth.
And on Friday after-
noons, he loves watching
kids interact in his hip-
hop dance class.
“When I first came to
Tiburon from Arlington,
Virginia, I was introduced
to the Mosaic Project
through Bel Aire,” Davis
said. “They bring groups
of kids from very different
schools to the experience.
I became very passionate
about Mosaic right away.”
Police released few de-
tails about the incident, but
said the woman suffered
minor injuries and was
taken by Mill Valley med-
ics to a hospital for evalu-
ation.
One of the men was re-
ending: Judge Kelly Sim-
mons, who was appointed
to the bench in 2005; Judge
James Chou, who was ap-
pointed in 2010; and Judge
Beth Jordan, who was ap-
pointed in 2017.
Four Marin municipal-
ities — Mill Valley, Corte
Madera, Belvedere and
Ross — have council mem-
bers whose terms are end-
ing.
So far, most of the action
has been in Corte Madera,
where incumbent Bob Rav-
asio and three challeng-
ers — Eli Beckman, Da-
vid Kunhardt and Valeria
Sasser — have taken out
papers. Sasser is a court in-
terpreter coordinator. Beck-
man, an architectural de-
signer with Perkins East-
man in San Francisco and
75,000 square feet and built
at a 0.82 FAR. The Corte
Madera Inn is two stories,
81,110 square feet and built
at 0.42 FAR.
The Corte Madera Inn
is 110 rooms on 5.47 acres
along Highway 101. The pro-
posal is to rebuild the ho-
tel with 175 rooms, which
would require a 0.55 FAR.
The size of the project
is among a laundry list of
concerns, including design,
traffic and the environmen-
tal impact due to the loss
of an onsite pond, that has
stalled the plan.
Garrett Grialou, a rep-
resentative of Reneson Ho-
tels, which owns the Corte
Madera Inn, said his team
has struggled to design a vi-
able hotel within the town’s
restrictions. Since July,
Reneson has said the com-
pany is exploring other non-
Since 2000, the Mosaic
Project has helped more
than 54,000 students and
adults from different back-
grounds build the peace-
ful communities they en-
vision.
“Despite their different
backgrounds, they’re still
all kids, and our kids in
particular need to be out
of Tiburon’s bubble,” Da-
vis said. “This year, we’re
taking 120 Bel Aire fourth-
graders to a weeklong Mo-
saic Project trip. Our goal
is to make this trip avail-
able to all fourth-graders
at Bel Aire.”
He said the project has
made a differnce; he’s
watched as “kids stop
themselves from pushing,
hitting or yelling a nasty
name. ... They’re becoming
proactive instead of reac-
tive, which is pretty amaz-
ing.”
The Mosaic Project’s
goal is to have every kid
learn its lessons about di-
versity and empathy, how
to listen to each other,
how to see from each oth-
er’s perspective and how
to learn these life skills for
conflict resolution.
“Teaching is intense
work,” Davis says. “So I

“I think it’s a good idea
that the town is consider-
ing making some changes,”
Grialou said. “But we need
to pursue other options at
the same time the town is
going through this process.
We are not sure what the
timing will be.”
The Budget Inn is an 18-
unit hotel. Owner Rajpu-
tana Hotels in 2016 applied
for a project to do major up-
grades and add four rooms.
The Planning Commission
has looked at the proposed
design unfavorably and the
project is in limbo.
Sam Devdhara, a man-
aging member of Rajpu-
tana Hotels, agreed with
Grialou’s sentiments and
said that his project is chal-
lenged by the restrictions
imposed by the town.

Devdhara said that if
the town moves forward
with developing its incen-

back to change the overall
concept and design of our
project. It could be a great
boost.”
The planning staff is
working on developing an
“incentive structure” and
would likely host a com-

around a draft proposal for
discussion, said Planning
Director Adam Wolff.
That proposal would
later require approval of
the Town Council.

SCHOOL SHOOTING
US companies distance
themselves from NRA
as pressure mounts
The Associated Press
NEW YORK >> U.S. compa-
nies are taking a closer
look at investments, co-
branding deals and other
ties to the gun industry
and its public face, the
National Rif le Associa-
tion, after the latest school
massacre.
Petitions are circulat-
ing online targeting com-
panies that offer discounts
to NRA members on its
website. #BoycottNRA is
trending on Twitter.
Members of the NRA
have access to special of-
fers from partner compa-
nies on its website, rang-
ing from life insurance to
wine clubs. For a second
consecutive day compa-
nies listed on the site have
cut ties to the NRA as it
aggressively resists calls
for stricter gun control
in the wake of the mass
shooting last week at a
Florida high school that
left 17 dead.
The insurance company
MetLife Inc. discontin-
ued its discount program
with the NRA on Friday.
The software company
Symantec Corp., which
makes Norton Antivirus
technology, did the same.
Insurer Chubb Ltd. said
Friday it is ending partic-
ipation in the NRA’s gun-
owner insurance program,
but it provided notice
three months ago. The pro-
gram that provided cover-
age for people involved in
gun-related incidents or
accidents had been under
scrutiny by regulators over
marketing issues.
Those defections ar-
rived a day after the car
rental company Enterprise
Holdings, which also owns
Alamo and National, said
it was cutting off discounts
for NRA members. First
National Bank of Omaha,
one of the nation’s largest
privately held banks, an-

President Wayne LaPierre
said this week at the Con-
servative Political Action
Conference, that those ad-
vocating for stricter gun
control are exploiting the
Florida shooting which
killed 17 people, mostly
high-school students.
“Evil walks among us
and God help us if we don’t
harden our schools and
protect our kids,” LaPierre
said Thursday. “The whole
idea from some of our op-
ponents that armed secu-
rity makes us less safe is
completely ridiculous.”
President Dona ld
Trump has aligned him-
self with the NRA, sug-
gesting some teachers
could be armed so that
they could fire on any at-
tacker.
U.S. corporations are
moving in the other di-
rection.
On Friday, a large Wall

firm said that it wanted to
engage with major weap-

what comes next.
Blackrock Inc., which
manages $6 trillion in
assets, has become one
of the largest stakehold-

like Sturm Ruger & Co.,
American Outdoor Brands
Corp. and Vista Outdoor
Inc. through indirect in-
vestments. The money
is placed in index funds,
so Blackrock cannot sell
shares of individual com-
panies within the index.
Its fund clients invest in
indexes that might con-
tain companies like Ruger.
On Friday, spokesman
Ed Sweeney said Black-

with weapons manufac-
turers and distributors to
understand their response
to recent events.”

WASHINGTON
Ex-Trump aide pleads guilty,
will cooperate in Russia probe
By Chad Day,
Tom Lobianco
and Eric Tucker
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> A former
senior adviser to President
Donald Trump’s election
campaign pleaded guilty
Friday to federal conspir-
acy and false-statements
charges, saying he will
now cooperate in the spe-
cial counsel’s Russia inves-
tigation.
The plea by Rick Gates re-
vealed that he will help spe-
cial counsel Robert Muel-
ler’s investigation in “any
and all matters” as prose-
cutors continue to probe the
Trump campaign, Russian
election interference and
Gates’ longtime business
associate, Paul Manafort.
With his cooperation,
Gates gives Mueller a wit-
ness willing to provide in-
formation on Manafort
about his finances and po-
litical consulting work in
Ukraine, and also someone
who had access at the high-
est levels of Trump’s 2016
presidential campaign.
Gates, 45, of Richmond,
Virginia, made the plea at
the federal courthouse in
Washington. He admitted
to charges accusing him
of conspiring against the
U.S. government related to
fraud and unregistered for-
eign lobbying as well as ly-
ing to federal authorities in
a recent interview.
The plea came a day after
a federal grand jury in Vir-
ginia returned a 32-count
indictment against Gates
and Manafort, Trump’s for-
mer campaign chairman,
accusing them of tax eva-
sion and bank fraud.
The indictment in Vir-
ginia was the second round
of charges against Gates
and against Manafort, who
has denied any wrongdoing.
The two men were initially
charged last October with
unregistered lobbying and

investigation to federal conspiracy and false statements charges.
conspiring to launder mil-
lions of dollars they earned
while working on behalf of
a pro-Russian Ukrainian
political party.
Gates’ decision marks the
fifth publicly known guilty
plea in the special coun-
sel probe into possible col-
lusion between the Trump
campaign and the Kremlin
during the 2016 campaign.
The plea also comes
quickly on the heels of a
stunning indictment last
week that laid out a broad
operation of election med-
dling by Russia, which be-
gan in 2014, and employed
fake social media accounts
and on-the-ground poli-
ticking to promote Trump’s
campaign, disparage Hill-
ary Clinton and sow divi-
sion and discord widely
among the U.S. electorate.

Gates is pleading guilty
don’t involve any conduct

campaign. They largely re-

Information on aborted execution sought

MONTGOMERY, ALA. >> After

a condemned prisoner en-
dured two-and-a-half hours

judge on Friday ordered Al-

U.S. District Judge Karon
Bowdre issued the order in
response to a request from
Doyle Lee Hamm’s attor-
neys who say they want to
know more about what hap-
pened during the attempt
to execute him.
Hamm, who has bat-
tled lymphoma, was to be
executed Thursday for the
1987 murder of a hotel clerk.
However, prison officials

p.m. Thursday that they

registered lobbying, money
laundering and fraud laid
out in his indictments.
But his plea does newly
reveal that Gates spoke
with the FBI earlier this
month and lied during the
interview. That same day,
his attorneys filed a mo-
tion to withdraw from rep-
resenting him for “irrecon-
cilable difference.”
The court papers ac-
cuse Gates of lying about a
March 19, 2013, meeting in-
volving Manafort, a lobbyist
and a member of Congress.
Gates said the meeting did
not include discussion of
Ukraine, when in fact pros-
ecutors say it did.
The charges don’t name
the lobbyist or the law-
maker but filings with the
Justice Department show

that date as part of a lob-

by Circuit Attorney Kim
Gardner — alleges that Gre-
itens took a compromising
photo of a woman with-
out her consent and trans-
mitted the image to a com-
puter. Greitens has admit-
ted being unfaithful to his
wife before he won election
as governor but has denied
criminal wrongdoing and
has insisted that the affair
with his former hairdresser
was consensual. His attor-
ney filed a motion to dis-
miss the indictment.
Greitens claims the crim-
inal case is politically mo-
tivated.
“The people of Missouri
deserve better than a reck-
less liberal prosecutor who
uses her office to score po-
litical points,” Greitens said
in a statement Thursday.
Gardner didn’t respond,
but her spokeswoman Su-
san Ryan said the prosecutor
“will not be playing political
games during this process.”

tain “the appropriate ve-
nous access” before a mid-
night deadline. The an-
nouncement came about 2
1/2 hours after the U.S. Su-
preme Court had cleared
the execution to proceed.
The state prison commis-
sioner said the execution
was delayed because of a
“time issue” while an attor-
ney for Hamm argued that
the execution was botched
and the state should be
“ashamed” for what hap-
pened.
Bernard Harcourt, who
represents Hamm, said he
had argued in court filings
that lethal injection would

cause Hamm’s veins have

On Friday, Manafort said
in a statement that he main-
tains his innocence.
“I had hoped and ex-
pected my business col-
league would have had
the strength to continue
the battle to prove our in-
nocence. For reasons yet
to surface he chose to do
otherwise,” Manafort said.
“This does not alter my
commitment to defend
myself against the untrue
piled-up charges contained
in the indictments against
me.”
In court filings over the
past few months, Gates
gradually began to show the
strain the case was placing
on him and his family.
Under the terms of the
plea, Gates is estimated
to face between 57 and 71
months behind bars. Prose-
cutors may seek a shortened
sentence depending on his
cooperation.

citizens of this community,”
Ryan said Friday.
While the state Republi-
can Party was still support-
ing Greitens, some lawmak-
ers, including some Repub-
licans, were calling on him
to resign or face legislative
impeachment proceedings.
“In the wake of the grand
jury criminal indictment,
and with legal proceedings
to come, I cannot see how
he could effectively perform
the duties of his office, let
alone to lead with the kind
of moral authority needed
to make a positive impact,”
said Sen. Kevin Corlew, of
Kansas City, one of at least
four Republicans who were
newly calling for Greitens’
resignation.
Senate Majority Leader
Mike Kehoe, a Republican
from Jefferson City, said the
indictment “causes me to
question whether the gover-
nor has the ability to effec-
tively lead the state going
forward,” but he stopped
short of calling for Greit-
ens’ resignation.
“He’s in great pain from
yesterday evening, phys-
ically, from all of the at-
tempts to access his veins
in his lower extremities and
in his groin,” Harcourt told
The Associated Press.
Corrections Commis-
sioner Jeff Dunn early Fri-
day morning disagreed that
there was a problem with
the execution.
“It was a time issue,”
Dunn said. “I wouldn’t nec-
essarily characterize what
we had tonight as a prob-
lem. ... The only indication
I have is that in their medi-
cal judgment it was more of
a time issue given the late
hour.”
Bowdre had scheduled
a hearing for Monday, but
later canceled it.
Dunn said he didn’t
know how long the medi-
cal team attempted to con-
nect the line.

CIVIL WAR
Deaths mount in Syria as UN
weighs cease-fire resolution
By Bassem Mroue
and Edith M. Lederer
The Associated Press
BEIRUT >> Syrian govern-
ment warplanes carried
out a sixth day of airstrikes
Friday in the rebel-held
suburbs east of Damascus,
killing 32 people, activists
said, as the death toll from
a week of bombardment
soared over 400.
At the United Nations,
last-minute negotiations
were underway ahead of an
expected vote on a Security
Council resolution demand-
ing a 30-day humanitarian
cease-fire.
The new bombings came
a day after Syrian army he-
licopters dropped leaflets
over the rebel-controlled
areas of eastern Ghouta,
urging residents of those
suburbs to leave for their
own safety and calling on
opposition fighters to sur-
render because they were
surrounded by government
troops.
Opposition activists re-
ported airstrikes and artil-
lery shelling on a string of
towns on the edge of Da-
mascus or eastern Ghouta.
At least 32 people were
killed in raids on areas in-
cluding Hammouriyeh,

US tightens sanctions on
North Korean shipping
By Matthew
Pennington
and Zeke Miller
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> The Trump
administration escalated
pressure on North Korea
Friday by slapping sanc-
tions on scores of compa-
nies and ships accused of
illicit trading with the pa-
riah nation. Treasury Sec-
retary Steven Mnuchin
said the U.S. has now black-
listed virtually all ships be-
ing used by the North.
T he administration
billed it as the largest in-
stallment of North Ko-
rean economic restrictions
to date as it intensifies its
campaign of “maximum
pressure” to get the North
to give up its nuclear weap-
ons. President Donald
Trump went further, de-
claring in a speech Friday
at the Conservative Politi-
cal Action Conference that
it was “the heaviest sanc-
tions ever imposed on a
country before.”
While that claim was
questionable — previous
U.S. measures have tar-
geted bigger players in the
North Korean economy, in-
cluding Chinese and Rus-
sian business networks —
it significantly tightens the
noose on North Korean
trading. Mnuchin told re-
porters that the U.S. has
now imposed more than
450 sanctions against the
North, about half of them
in the last year — includ-
total cost — expected to
run into the hundreds of
millions of dollars — and
what the administration
is able to raise.

stance, letting private cit-

FINANCIAL MARKETS WEST AFRICA

Broad rally helps stocks end week slightly higher Worst is feared for missing
By Alex Veiga
The Associated Press
Wall Street capped sev-
eral days of choppy trad-
ing Friday with a broad
rally that gave the stock
market a modest gain for
the week.
Tech nolog y c ompa-
nies, banks and health
care stocks accounted
for much of the market’s
gains. Energy companies
also rose along with crude
oil prices.
The rally came as bond
yields pulled back for the
second day in a row af-
ter reaching four-year
highs earlier in the week.
That spike on Wednesday,
which sent the 10-year
Treasury yield closing in
on 3 percent, sent stocks
sharply lower.
“There was a lot of con-
cern about what happened
if bond yields got above 3
percent, and that proba-
bly added to some of the
jitters earlier this week,”
said Willie Delwiche, in-
vestment strategist at
Baird. “Now you have a
day when yields are mov-
ing away from that. At
least for now, that prob-
ably lets equity traders
breathe a sigh of relief and
pushes stocks up a little.”
The Standard & Poor’s
500 index climbed 43.34
points, or 1.6 percent, to
2,747.30. The Dow Jones in-
dustrial average picked up
347.51 points, or 1.4 percent,
to 25,309.99. The Nasdaq
composite gained 127.30
points, or 1.8 percent, to
7,337.39. The Russell 2000
index of smaller-company
stocks rose 19.20 points, or
1.3 percent, to 1,549.19.

Thanks to those who
helped injured biker
On Jan. 17 at 1:15 p.m., I was
riding my bike on Panoramic
Highway when I was struck
head-on by a hit-and-run vehi-
cle that had crossed the double
yellow line into my lane.
Two retired San Francisco
firefighters and a physical ther-
apist on her way to a client in
Stinson Beach all stopped to
help and gave me immediate
first aid.
Two women in a passing car
came to my aid and covered me
with their jackets. I never got
their names or even saw their
faces. I only heard their voices.
Mike Tribolet and Kevin Tsu-
dama of Marin County Fire re-
sponded from the Throck-
morton Station and controlled
bleeding and applied splints.
Larry Yoell and Frank Schonig
with the Southern Marin Fire
Protection District responded
from Tam Valley and trans-
ported me by ambulance to the
hospital.
At Marin General, Dr. Marc
Levsky and the emergency
room staff worked their magic
in helping put me back together.
Words alone don’t seem ap-
propriate for the appreciation
I have for everyone who came
to the aid of a fallen cyclist that
day.
I can only offer a very sincere
thank you!
If anyone who was on Pan-
oramic Highway that day saw
the late-model charcoal gray se-
dan (possible Acura or Lexus)
that was being driven errati-
cally or if anyone saw a vehi-
cle matching that description in
West Marin with possible left
headlamp or front grill damage,
please contact Officer Ostler of
the Marin CHP.
With all the turmoil that we
are witnessing in the world, my
faith in humanity is restored
by the willingness of others to
come to the aid of a stranger.

The county doesn’t have
to abide by its own plan?
Marin County Counsel
Brian Washington’s assertion
in the Feb. 16 IJ article that
the San Geronimo Commu-
nity Plan is “one sentence in a
planning document” is the fi-
nal proof that the county and
the parks department have
no intention of honoring that
plan.
His comments came in re-
sponse to a lawsuit filed by
attorney Riley Hurd for the
San Geronimo Advocates, a
community group working to
preserve the San Geronimo
Golf Course. The suit, origi-
nally filed in November on the
grounds that the county ac-
tion violated the California
Environmental Quality Act,
has been amended to include
the violation of the San Geron-
imo Community Plan.
Washington says the com-
munity plan says the golf
Cartoonist’s take
course “should” be retained
and that it is “one sentence”
in a planning document that
also promotes open space and
parks uses in San Geronimo.
He also told the IJ, the
Board of Supervisors “has
broad discretion in how it
weighs the various compet-
ing policies in planning docu-
ments.”
The actual wording in the
Marin County Countywide
Plan is:
“San Geronimo Valley Golf
Course is 157 acres of devel-
oped recreational land in-
cluding clubhouse and restau-
rant facilities. The course rep-
resents an important visual
and recreational resource in
the Valley. The golf course use
should be retained with no
major expansion of the facili-
ties. Future uses should be lim-
ited to those which support the
primary use as a golf course.”
If a citizen came to the plan-
ning department and said, “I
think you should ignore this
part of the Countywide Plan so
that I can do my thing, even if
it doesn’t comply,” they would
be laughed out of the building.
The express purpose of set-
ting up the Community Plan is
to set the rules that both sides
must live with in order to have
an orderly set of policies that
everyone understands and can
deal with. All land-use and
planning decisions made in the
past 45 years have been made
with this sacrosanct vision in
mind.
Someone with Mr. Wash-
ington’s training and experi-
ence needs to understand this.
The Marin County Board of Su-
pervisors must thoroughly in-
vestigate his motives and he
should either be censured or
dismissed.

Encouraged to hear youth
speak out about guns
It has been encouraging
to see the students, teachers
and others at Tamalpais High
School speak out during this
latest horrific tragedy of na-
tional gun violence, and pledge
to act against gun violence in
their school and community.
More residents need to join
them in demanding an end to
this scourge. Our only hope to
shape a world in which pub-
lic safety is our foremost right
and value is through citizen
engagement, and people of all
ages and backgrounds need to
step up, offer their support and
become active on this issue.
As an activist with the Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Vi-
olence, I did the many tasks
that activism requires: factual
knowledge and various forms
of outreach. Due to our current
Democratic majorities in the
state Legislature and a support-
ive governor, we have among
the strongest gun safety laws in
the nation, unlike Florida.
But there is always more
work to do to fight the unrea-
sonable and unyielding resis-
tance of the NRA, which values
money and power above public
safety and, yes, above the lives
of American children.
Our country is awash in the
propaganda of the gun lobby.
Did you notice that neither
President Trump nor Florida
Gov. Rick Scott used the term
“gun violence” in their remarks
after the recent Parkland, Flor-
ida high school shooting? The
NRA explicitly forbids usage of
that term by their foot soldiers
in government.
The NRA spent $30 mil-
lion to help get Trump elected.
Many call it “blood money.”
The NRA is pursuing its goal
to put a gun in the hand of ev-
ery American, no matter what
age or circumstance. Do we
want our schools to become
armed camps, live in constant
fear of gun violence?
God bless those students and
others who choose to be free
from fear, especially those cou-
rageous students who are re-
cent victims in Parkland.
It’s time to follow their ex-
amples and commit to stay-
ing active on this issue for the
long haul; that’s what it means
to live in “The land of the free
and the home of the brave.”

Citrus has been around for 7 million
years and has played many roles
By Marie Narlock » IJ correspondent
The juicy lemons and oranges we relish in
winter share an exotic past. In addition to being
fragrant and delicious, citrus fruits have saved
lives, enticed nobility, kept religious traditions
alive and maybe even started the Mafia.
Fossilized leaves suggest cit-
rus existed 7 million years ago,
and it’s seen significant cultiva-
tion for 2,500 years. Every vari-
ety available today comes from
four pedigreed ancestors: citron,
pomelo, papeda and mandarin.
These fruits swapped genes for
thousands of years, creating tast-
ier varieties as they evolved. Even-
tually humans got involved and
what we see stacked at the gro-
cery store is the end result: zesty
lemons, limes, oranges and grape-
fruits bursting with vitamin C, fo-
late and potassium.
A native of China, India and
Malaysia, citrus often played a re-
ligious role. Citron perfumed Bud-
dhist temples, its distinct shape
conveniently resembling a human
hand praying to Buddha. Jewish
people used a gold, bumpy citrus
fruit called an etrog for religious
rituals as well as for medicine, to
combat seasickness and intesti-
nal problems, and as an antidote
to poison.
Citrus accompanied Persian
travelers westward along the Silk
Road, arriving in the Mediterra-
nean around 400 BC. The rare,
tangy fruit delighted Mediterra-
nean nobility, who bragged about
its healing and cleaning powers.
When lemons arrived in Rome
years later, they quickly became
a sign of privilege and wealth.
Not so for the uppity aristocrats
of the Middle Ages, who consid-
ered fresh fruit beneath them.
Instead, they gorged on heavy
foods and suffered nasty teeth,
skin diseases, scurvy and rick-
ets. The peasants, conversely, ate
citrus with abandon, lapping up
the nourishing juice and pulp so
they’d have energy to work. Power
to the peasants!
Citrus disappeared from the
Mediterranean as sanitation de-
clined, but enterprising Arabs
kept it alive by simultaneously
spreading the word of Islam and
filling their gardens with color-
ful, aromatic citrus. From there
things sped up. North African
farmers brought citrus to Spain’s
Alhambra. The tangerine arrived
from — where else? — Tangiers.
Valencia and Seville oranges ap-
peared. The Chinese confirmed
27 citrus varieties. The sour fla-
vors of Arabic cuisine caught on.
A Scottish surgeon proved citrus
curved scurvy. The Hapsburgs
gave citrus the thumbs up — and
importing citrus became big busi-
ness.
In fact, it was such big busi-
ness in Sicily in the 1800s that
problems arose. There, among
the sweetly scented groves, un-
derhanded racketeers made of-
fers that growers couldn’t re-
fuse, wielding power by extortion
and intimidation. These thuggish
tactics came to define the Ma-
Citrus greening is the biggest threat to California’s citrus.
fia, leading some historians to
conclude that Cosa Nostra be-
gan in the citrus trade.
Which brings us to today —
in our corner of the world, in
our own gardens. Today, Cali-
fornia’s $1 billion citrus indus-
try is booming, but a threat is
looming. A bacterial disease
called huanglongbing, or cit-
rus greening, is causing cit-
rus trees to defoliate and die.
Early symptoms include asym-
metrical, blotchy leaves, green
on one side and yellow on the
other. Over multiple years, an
infected tree produces smaller
fruit, bitter juice, and dieback
of leaves and limbs until suc-
cumbing altogether. So far
there’s no cure and it’s on ev-
ery arable continent. In fact,
it’s in every county surround-
ing Marin, but amazingly it
hasn’t reared its head here yet.
Experts say it’s only a matter
of time.
It’s hard to know when —
and how hard — Marin will
get hit. How will we make lem-
onade out of those lemons? In
the meantime, all we can do is
COURTESY OF UC REGENTS
savor every squeeze that we al-
ready have and treat our citrus
trees like the nobility they’ve
served for millennia. Situate
citrus where there’s plenty of
warmth and sun (six hours a
day in February). Provide or-
ganic, slightly acidic, well-
draining soil (get your soil
tested if you’re not sure your
soil is up to snuff). Thin fruit
to avoid overloaded branches.
Protect from frost. Use drip ir-
rigation. Add a layer of mulch.
Then slip a slice of lime into
a margarita. It’s your turn to
be part of history.

houses.
While the Sau-
salito resident’s
respect for the
craftsmanship and uniqueness
of quality antiques is high, the
demand for them has dropped.
“Petaluma is probably one of
the last destinations in North-
ern California for antiques,”
he says. “There are still quite
a few shops here and it has the
Petaluma Fall Antique Faire,
one of the best antique street
fairs.”
The shift is tangible, though.
“Ten or 15 years ago dealers
could go out and buy anything
and sell it,” he says. “Now, we
have to be very careful about
what we buy and what we pay
for it.”
And he has advice for those
want to get rid of their own
family heirlooms:
If you have fine quality an-
tiques including mid-cen-
tury modern, rare or unique
items, architectural elements
or light colored country-style
furniture, you’re in luck. These
items are “hot” right now, he
says.
If you have big, dark wood
furnishings, Victoriana, Ori-
ental rugs, or silver such as ex-
tensive flatware sets or a tea
service, it may not be as prof-
itable. Unfortunately, “almost
everything your grandmother
had is now out of fashion,” he
says.
Unless you have functional
silver, such as serving pieces,
bowls or candlesticks, your sil-
ver might only sell for scrap
prices in this market.
While this downtrend could
be a natural cycle of tastes,
Willis chalks it up to a matter
of lifestyle. “The younger gen-
erations prefer casual to for-
mal,” he concedes.
His biggest tip is to under-

Exclusion at work
worries employee
DEAR AMY » I’m being
excluded from a project
at work and it’s been very
difficult for me to cope.
I’m wondering if I am
overreacting.
I work as part of a
small team of six artists:
four production artists
(myself included) and two
lead artists. We usually
work closely together.
This project has work for
everyone
except one
person, and
that person
turned out
to be me.
Amy Every
Dickinson day, my
Ask Amy team is
consumed
with this. It’s all they talk
about. They have meet-
ings, and I’m left sitting
by myself. They have their
own dedicated chat that
I am not invited to and
they have discussions,
make announcements
and have in-jokes, all of
which I am not privy to.
They’re learning, getting
experience and bonding
while I am excluded.
Meanwhile the work
I’ve been assigned is not
related to my job.
I asked the supervisor
if I could work on the
team project, and he said
no. I asked my teammates
if there was anything they
needed help with and was
met with silence.
I try to be rational
about this and think
positively, but every day
it gets more difficult as I
feel more excluded and
less valuable to the team.
I feel very upset over
this. Have my team leads
failed in how they’ve
handled this project?
Should they have found
something for me to do,
or at least allowed me to
be privy to the informa-
tion about the project?
Am I being oversensitive?
Should I tell my leads

A’s third baseman Chapman out with hand issue
By Martin Gallegos
Bay Area News Group
MESA, ARIZ. >> A’s third baseman
Matt Chapman received some
good news and bad news on his
right hand issue.
After leaving camp for Los
Angeles Thursday to undergo
an MRI with hand specialist Dr.
Steven Shin, results revealed no
structural damage on the right
hand. But Chapman did receive
a cortisone shot due to swelling
and inflammation on the sesa-
moid bone, a bone in between
the thumb and index finger,
which will keep him out of all
hitting activities for a period of
time.
“We are pretty confident
that’s gonna push that swelling
out and it’s gonna be good to go,”
Chapman said. “It’s kind of just
taking a break from swinging.
I’m still gonna be doing ground
balls and everything else. Once
the signs kind of subside and ev-
erything feels good, I’ll kind of
pick it up from there.”
Chapman, 24, began to feel
the discomfort in his hand in
back in Nov. when he began his
offseason hitting routine. He
told the team and was sent to
Dr. Shin back then, but X-rays
came back negative and Chap-
man decided to just take a break
from swinging until January.
After feeling fine swinging
the bat in January and Febru-
ary, Chapman began to feel the
pain again during spring train-
ing this past week.
“You know when you feel
good and when you don’t,”
Chapman said. “When I came

WINTER OLYMPICS
Russians get first gold, Germany tops Canada
By Dennis Waszak Jr.
And David Brandt
The Associated Press
PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KO-
REA >> The Russians finally
won a gold medal at the Py-
eongchang Olympics. The
Canadian men’s hockey
team won’t even get the
chance after losing to Ger-
many.
Alina Zagitova edged
training partner Evgenia
Medvedeva on Friday in fig-
ure skating, giving the Rus-
sians a reason to celebrate
a 1-2 finish.
“I haven’t fully real-
ized yet that I’ve won,” the
15-year-old Zagitova said. “I
think I need some time to
understand that I won the
Olympic Games.”
She and Medvedeva
tied in the free skate with
156.65 points, but Zagitova
had won the short program
Wednesday — giving her
the edge by only 1.31 points.
“I can’t believe I am the
champion,” Zagitova said.
T he Russians’ gold
drought had been one of
the ongoing story lines of
the games, and they were
running out of time to get
one — although those con-
cerns were eased a bit by Za-
gitova and Medvedeva com-
ing into the day in prime po-
sition to win.
Now, the Russians should
have a great shot at another
gold medal with the men’s
hockey team advancing to
the final after a 3-0 victory
over the Czech Republic.
They’ll face the Germans,
who shocked two-time de-
fending champion Canada
4-3 to advance to Sunday’s
title game.
Germany jumped out to
leads of 3-0 and 4-1 before

PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KO-

soared to gold in the Olym-
pic debut of men’s Big Air.
Toutant scored a 174.25
in the final to give Team
Canada its 11th gold of the
Pyeongchang Games.
Kyle Mack of the United
States took second with a
score of 168.75. He had a
chance to better Toutant
but sat down on his third

Billy Morgan of Great

Ivanka Trump was also
in attendance. The daugh-
ter of president Donald

Switzerland topped Can-

Kelsey Serwa of Canada

The last official day of bob-
sled season is Sunday, and
the American men probably
can’t wait for the finale.
So far in these Py-
eongchang Olympics, U.S.
bobsled coach Brian Shimer
was bedridden by illness,
Codie Bascue partially tore
his left calf muscle, Justin
Olsen needed emergency
surgery to remove his ap-
pendix and Nick Cunning-
ham saw whatever medal
hopes he had in the two-
man race end about five sec-
onds from the starting line.
That’s not even a com-
plete list of the problems.
“The bobsled Gods are
upset at us for something,”
Cunningham said.
That’s about the only
explanation that makes
sense. Barring some mir-
acle Sunday, the U.S. men
are going home w ith-
out an Olympic bobsled
medal for the first time in
12 years. It’s not even cer-
tain if they’ll have a sled
finish in the top 10 of ei-
ther the two- or four-man
race; Bascue was ninth go-
ing into Sunday’s final two
heats of four-man.
“We’re going to continue
to fight,” said Cunning-
ham, who struggled with
the start of the track in the
two-man race and wound
up 21st. “You’re not go-
right, on Friday in Chicago.
short in his bid for his
fourth Olympic gold medal
in South Korea as France
finished fifth in the men’s
4x7.5-kilometer biathlon re-
lay, won by Sweden.
In Gangneung, Zagitova
skated first and she nailed
everything during her pro-
gram to “Don Quixote.”
The 18-year-old Medvedeva
matched Zagitova — but
that wasn’t good enough to
bring home the gold.
“I put everything out
there that I had,” Medve-
deva said. “I left every-
thing on the ice. I have no
regrets.”
Kaetlyn Osmond of Can-
ada, who had considered re-
tirement, won the bronze.
A few hours later, Vasily
Koshechkin stopped all 31
shots he faced to help the
Russians advance in men’s
hockey.

ing to hold us down here.
We’re going to keep our
heads held high, regard-
less of where we finish,
just based on our perfor-
mance and we know how
hard we’re fighting.”
That there’s any fight
left is somewhat impres-
sive, given the events of
this season.
T he Ol y mpic ye a r

“It is huge for us and the

wrapped up the win as Aus-
trian Marco Schwarz skied
out along the side-by-side
parallel slalom course.
Norway edged France in
the bronze medal match.
The countries were tied at
2, but Norway’s top skiers
were faster. Each team had
two male and two female
skiers.
The Swiss ski team
ended the Pyeongchang
Games with two gold med-
als and seven total. Aus-
tria’s ski squad also had
seven medals, including
three gold. Norway’s Al-
pine skiers also had seven
medals, including one gold.
Several of the world’s
top ra cers, includ ing
American Mikaela Shif-
frin and Austrian Mar-
cel Hirscher, skipped the
event.

had a pretty good game,”
Switzerland’s Peter de Cruz
said. “So that was enough
to win it.”
The loss was an upset for
Canada, which had won the
last three men’s competi-
tions.
“We feel disheartened,
disappointed, just kind of
gutted, really,” Canada’s
Brent Laing said. “That’s
not the way it was sup-
posed to go, wasn’t what
we planned, but the better
team won today and unfor-
tunately it wasn’t us.”

WINTER OLYMPICS
Shiffrin jokes about
whether Vonn’s
career will be over
By Howard Fendrich
The Associated Press
PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KO-
REA >> Mikaela Shiffrin is
not quite convinced Lind-
sey Vonn’s Olympic career
is done.
“Whenever I hear any-
body say something about
this,” Shiffrin said Friday,
“it’s like, ‘most likely,’ ‘prob-
ably,’ ‘maybe,’ ‘we’ll see,’
‘not sure.’ I’m like, ‘Know-
ing Lindsey, I don’t believe
her.’”
And with that, Shiffrin
let out a big laugh.
She is, without a doubt,
the heir apparent to Vonn
as the leader of U.S. ski
racing. They were the only
two members of the coun-
try’s Alpine team to earn a
medal at the Pyeongchang
Games — and the only two
to hold news conferences
a day after the sport’s last
two individual events.
First came Vonn, 33,
wearing her downhill
bronze medal. After she
left the room, it was time
for Shiffrin, 22, whose gold
from the giant slalom and
silver from the combined
dangled from her neck.
Vonn spent much of her
session taking questions
about her, um, extensive
experience — “You’re not
getting any younger,” was
the way one reporter put it,
to which the skier replied
with a smile, “Come right
out and say it, why don’t
you!” — and the emotions
of her (presumably) last
Olympics.
Then Shiffrin discussed
what she called the frustra-
tion of dealing with sched-
ule changes that contrib-
uted to a fourth-place finish
in her top event, the slalom,
and forced her to enter only
three of five races.
When asked about be-
ing Vonn’s successor, she
was deferential.
“I don’t necessarily feel
like I’m taking over some-
thing for the sport. I don’t
know if I could fill Lind-
sey’s shoes, the way that
she has worn them,” Shif-
frin said. “I’m going to do
my best to help the sport
grow in whatever way that
I can. The best way that I
can do that, as far as I see

ble and all the way to the
finish line.”
Canadian teammate Brit-
tany Phelan, a close friend
of Serwa, used an impres-
sive pass late in the run to
finish second.
“We didn’t come out here
to participate. We came
out here to win, and to do
it together is unbelievable,”
Serwa said. “I’m so pumped.”
Fanny Smith of Switzer-
land won bronze.
CURLING DRAMA >> In wom-
en’s curling, South Korea
beat Japan 8-7 in an intense
semifinal game that went to
the 11th end. South Korea
skip Kim Eun-jung made a
perfect shot with the ham-
mer that stopped right on
the button to clinch the vic-
tory.
The South Koreans —
who shared a jubilant hug in
front of a roaring crowd af-
ter the shot — will face Swe-
den for gold on Sunday. Swe-
den beat Britain 10-5 in the
other semifinal game.
DOUBLE DUTCH >> Nuis be-
came the first skater with
two gold medals at the
Gangneung Oval, using a
terrific start and strong fin-
ish to win in 1 minute, 7.95
seconds.
“The 1,500 was a victory
and this relief,” he said. “I
was psyched to get this one.”
Kim Tae-yun of South
Korea finished in 1.08.22
for bronze.
FOR THE KING >> With King
Carl XVI Gustaf watching,
Peppe Femling, Jesper Ne-
lin, Sebastian Samuelsson
and Fredrik Lindstroem
teamed to help Sweden win
the men’s 4x7.5-kilometer
relay by 55.5 seconds over
Norway.
Germany took bronze,
marking the seventh time
it has medaled in the event
in the last eight Olympics.
right now, is just to ski my
best and to keep taking ski
racing to a new level.”
Shiffrin also was asked
about what sort of advice
she might have received
from Vonn when it comes
to taking over as the face
of Alpine skiing in the
United States.
“I haven’t had a lot of
advice about what to do
because, first of all, I don’t
think Lindsey sees herself
as being done yet or pass-
ing the baton,” she an-
swered. “And I don’t see
myself as taking the ba-
ton.”
Shiffrin is now what
Vonn once was: a multiple
Olympic medalist in her
20s with a bright future.
After Vonn won a gold
and bronze at the 2010
Vancouver Games, the as-
sumption was she would
go on to add medal upon
medal to her career total.
Instead, she was forced to
miss the 2014 Olympics af-
ter tearing knee ligaments.
So after an eight-year
wait, Vonn stepped back
on the stage, but has said
this would be her last
Olympics. As it is, she be-
came the oldest woman to
win an Alpine medal.
Vonn said the woman
who took the gold in the
downhill, good friend So-
fia Goggia of Italy, wrote
a note trying to lobby for
a return in 2022.
“I told her ... if I phys-
ically could continue for
four years, then I probably
would, as long as I consid-
ered myself still a compet-
itor,” Vonn said. “But four
years is a really long time.
I told her that. She said
she’s going to keep trying
to convince me.”
In the meantime, there
are other goals Vonn will
pursue before retiring. She
reiterated she is “not go-
ing to stop ski racing un-
til I break” Ingemar Sten-
mark’s World Cup record
for most career race wins.
She has 81; he had 86.
“I think next season,”
Vonn said, “I can get it
done.”
She also intends to pur-
sue a chance to compete
against men, something
she’s sought for years.

range of payments to players Timberwolves,
The Associated Press
New details of payments
to athletes in a federal in-
vestigation that has lurked
in the shadows since first
rocking college basket-
ball last fall mark the lat-
est threat to the sport’s ba-
sic foundation, showing the
breadth of alleged corrup-
tion.
Bank records and other
expense reports that are
part of the investigation list
a wide range of impermis-
sible payments from agents
to at least two dozen players
or their relatives, according
to documents obtained by
Yahoo Sports.
The depth of the vio-
lations raises questions
about the structure of col-
lege athletics, a business
funded primarily through
college football and basket-
ball, including $19.6 billion
in TV money for the NCAA
Tournament over the past
22 years — a hoops extrav-
aganza American sports
fans know as March Mad-
ness.
NCAA President Mark
Emmert said in a state-
ment Friday the allegations
“if true, point to systematic
failures that must be fixed
and fixed now if we want
college sports in America.”
Yahoo said Friday that

ton to potential benefits
that would be violations of
NCAA rules.
Michigan State and
Duke officials said Fri-
day they didn’t believe
their players did anything
wrong, and Alabama coach
Avery Johnson said Sexton,
who was held out of the
season opener for violat-
ing NCAA rules, will play
Saturday against Arkansas.
According to the report,
players over the past several
years and family members
allegedly received cash, en-

agent Andy Miller and his
agency ASM Sports. Line
items in four pages of doc-
uments released by Yahoo
showed a wide range, in-
cluding some five-figure
payments and two dinners
for less than $40 each.
Don Jackson, an Ala-
bama-based attorney who
has worked on numerous
college eligibility cases,
said the root of the problem
is that the NCAA’s model of
amateurism doesn’t work.
“This problem can be
solved if players are com-
pensated,” Jackson said.
“The NCAA is not capa-
ble of adequately policing
tens of thousands of ath-
letes around the country.”

14 rebounds and C.J. Jack-
son made a long 3-pointer
with 1.7 seconds left in dou-
ble overtime to give No. 16
Ohio State a victory at In-
diana.
With the win, the Buck-

20 points, E.C. Matthews

over Dayton.
Jared Terrell had 17
points to help the Rams
(22-5, 15-1) win for the 18th
time in 19 games. It was
their second straight after
their school-record 16-game
winning streak was halted
by St. Bonaventure last Fri-
day night.
In 1980-81, the Rams tied
Duquesne for a share of the
conference title, their only
other regular-season A-10
championship.
When the game ended,
blue and white confetti —

HOUSTON >> James Harden

Houston Rockets won
their 11th straight game
with a 120-102 victory Fri-
day night over the Minne-
sota Timberwolves, who
lost All-Star Jimmy Butler
to an apparent right knee
injury.
Butler left late in the
third quarter. After grab-
bing a rebound, he piv-
oted and planted hard on
his right foot before col-
lapsing and grabbing his
right knee. He was on the
floor for at least three min-
utes before he was car-
ried off the court by two
teammates. He appeared
to avoid putting weight
on his right leg while he
was heading to the locker
room.
Clint Capela had 25
points and 11 rebounds
for Houston, getting his
10th double-double over
the past 13 games. Chris
Paul added 14 points, 10
rebounds and eight assists.
The Rockets trailed for
much of the first half be-

14 points, and John Hen-

DeMar DeRozan scored

who had won five straight

Bucks. Serge Ibaka had

like in November and De-
cember.”
Kerr’s analysis stems
from his play ing and
coaching experience.
Consider Kerr’s time
with the Chicago Bulls
(1993-1998) and San An-
tonio Spurs (1999-2001,
2002-03) that ended with
five NBA championships.
The Bulls lost to Orlando
and Seattle in the 1995-96
regular season before beat-
ing both teams in the play-
offs. The Bulls also lost to
the Jazz in the regular sea-
son (once in 1996-97, twice
in 1997-98), but that did
not stop them from beat-
ing Utah both times in the
Finals. Though the 1999
Spurs struggled in the reg-
ular season to the Los An-
geles Lakers (1-2), San An-
tonio dominated the Lakers
in the playoffs (4-0 in West-
ern Conference semifinals).
After the 2002-03 Spurs lost
the regular-season series to
the Phoenix Suns (1-3), San
Antonio won its first-round
series to Phoenix in seven
games.
As for the Warriors?
They either tied or won
the regular-season series
against all their playoff
opponents before winning
the 2015 NBA title. They
beat Cleveland twice in the
2015-16 regular-season be-
fore infamously squander-
ing a 3-1 series lead in an
NBA Finals loss. They went
1-2 against San Antonio in
the 2016-17 regular season
before sweeping them in
the Western Conference
Finals.
Kerr mentioned more
preparation, higher inten-
sity and added adjustments
all factor into the playoffs
often bucking regular-sea-
son trends. So what exactly
does Kerr take away from
the Thunder beating the
Warriors twice this season?
“They are one of the
best teams in the West, for
sure. They’re very talented.
They’re big,” Kerr said.
“They’re really good defen-
sively. Any time you play a
team you can face later on,
you learn some things. You
take note. You have the film
and you go from there.”
The Thunder has given
the Warriors plenty of ma-
terial for those film ses-
sions.
After the Warriors’ 108-
91 loss to Oklahoma City
on Nov. 22, Kerr argued the
Thunder “completely out-
played us and outcoached
us.” The Warriors commit-
ted 22 turnovers. They had
20 fouls. And the Thunder
outrebounded the War-
riors, 50-39.
Kerr envisioned the War-
riors would play with more
focus and effort the next
time. He was wrong. The
Warriors suffered a 125-
105 loss to the Thunder on
Feb. 6 because of too much
Paul George (38 points) and
Russell Westbrook (34).
The Warriors’ issues with
their turnovers (25) and
fouls (24) continued. Du-
rant lamented that “we
didn’t play with enough
force” in either game.
“They beat us twice, so
we definitely want to win,”
Durant said. “We want to
play good basketball for
four quarters. We want to
win every possession.”
To win every posses-
sion, the Warriors have
narrowed their focus on a
few things.
As with every game, the
Warriors pledge to reduce
their turnovers and fouling
by becoming more disci-
plined with their ball han-
dling and defending. Kerr
plans to throw various and
multiple defenders at West-
brook. With Kerr consider-
ing George to be the “per-
fect modern-day defender”
with his speed, versatility
and 6-foot-9, 200-pound
frame, the Warriors may
crossmatch on him. The
Warriors also have cited
the need to win the re-
bounding battle, with Du-
rant calling Thunder for-
ward Steven Adams “the
best offensive rebounder
in the league” with 5.3 per
game.
“Our guys will be ready
to go,” Kerr said.
The Warriors said the
reasons do not stem from
any concerns about post-
season matchups, though.
Instead, they said it stems
from concerns on their
postseason readiness.
“It’s about how you play
in the moment and you try
to build good habits in the
game,” Durant said. “Hope-
fully they carry over each
night. We try to be consis-
tent with how we play. It’s
a good challenge against a
great team.”

GIRLS SOCCER PLAYOFFS

Branson goalie comes up clutch

Manthouli saves three penalties as Bulls claim third straight title
By Ian Ross
iross@marinij.com
@IRossMIJ on Twitter
Goalie Athena Manthouli watched
from midfield twice last season as
then-teammate and co-goalkeeper
Gwyer Unsworth took center stage
during penalty-kick shootouts that led
to postseason pennants for the Bran-
son School girls soccer team.
Two weeks ago, the Bulls (20-0-
3) were unsuccessful in a penalty-
kick shootout in the MCAL title game
against Tam with Manthouli in goal
but, as fate would have it, Manthouli
would get another chance in the North
Coast Section Division IV final against
Piedmont on Saturday.
Manthouli saved three consecutive
penalties to begin the shootout then
watched Maegen Dillon and Marina
Andreadis convert on kicks for Bran-
son before Piedmont’s fifth and final
kick went high. That miss cinched
the third consecutive section title
for Branson, which won the shoot-
out 2-1 after going 1-1 in regulation
and overtime.
“What a special moment for a se-
nior to have,” Branson coach Tyler
Gottschalk said of Manthouli. “Ob-
viously last year we won two finals
in penalties but she was standing at
midfield with her teammates watch-
ing Gwyer have the opportunity to
step up and make the big play. For
her to be in there today and make the
saves that she did was unbelievable.”
Manthouli guessed right three
times in a row and gave her team-
mates enough time to find their form
after Branson also missed its two first
two penalties.
“It’s honestly the most amazing
feeling ever,” Manthouli said. “I’m
so excited. It’s my senior year so I
wanted to win obviously after hav-
ing lost the MCAL finals. Just a huge
moment and I wanted to come out
for my team.” DOUGLAS ZIMMERMAN — SPECIAL TO MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL

BOYS SOCCER PLAYOFFS NBA

Wildcats take to the win KD leads

Marin Academy’s Stefan Jung (13) heads a ball while playing against Saint Mary’s in the NCS Division IV boys soccer championship at
Marin Catholic High School on Saturday.
By Ian Ross

@irossmij on Twitter
The Marin Academy High
boys soccer team opted to play
into the wind throughout the
first half. After getting to half-
time with a scoreless game, the
Wildcats wasted no time in tak-
ing the wind out of Saint Mary’s
sails in the second half.
Giancarlo De Petris scored
two minutes into the second
half, Kami Jamasbi added a sec-
ond and the Wildcats kept the
Panthers at bay over the final 25
minutes to see out a comfortable
2-0 victory in the North Coast
Section Division IV champion-
ship game.
The victory was the second
section title in a row for Marin
Academy (13-1-4) and the fifth

victory in eight consecutive trips
to a section title game. Both
teams advance to the NorCal
Championships, which start on
March 6.
“It’s really an amazing feel-
ing, it’s kind of hard to put into
words right now,” Marin Acad-
emy captain Stefan Jung said.
“Just as a collective group, we
had a great game and we were
able to keep the ball and play
it around our back and through
our midfield and up to our front
line. We were able to break down
the other team. As a group we
had an unreal day and it’s def-
initely one I’ll remember for a
long time.”

Warriors in
intense rout
By Janie Mccauley
The Associated Press
OAKLAND >> Kevin Durant scored
28 points for Golden State while
avenging an embarrassing home
loss to his former Oklahoma City
team earlier this month and an-
other on the road in Novem-
ber, leading the Warriors past
the Thunder 112-80 on Saturday
night.
Stephen Curry added 21 points
with five 3-pointers, nine re-
bounds, six assists and three
steals as Golden State put on the
kind of defensive performance
coach Steve Kerr has been seek-
ing from the defending champs.
Russell Westbrook had 15
points, 12 rebounds and seven
assists for Oklahoma City, which
failed to reach 100 points for the
first time in the last five games.
The Thunder had scored at least
100 in 14 of their last 16.
Durant’s pretty layup off a per-
fect pass by Curry with 3:06 left in
the third put the Warriors up 75-
66. That was part of a 37-11 Golden
State run that included 30 points
over the final 8:48 of the third —
when Zaza Pachulia subbed in to
relieve JaVale McGee.
The Warriors held Paul George
to five points. George’s 3-pointer
at the 7:52 mark of the third with
Durant’s hand in his face was his
first basket after going 0 for 9 to
begin the game. He finished 1 for
14 after going off for 38 points in
the last meeting when Oklahoma
City left Oracle Arena with a 125-
105 rout on Feb. 6.
Golden State also lost at OKC
by 17 on Nov. 22.

NCS WRESTLING

Dow places second, punches ticket to state
By Danny Schmidt
dschmidt@marinij.com
@therealdschmidt on Twitter
UNION CITY >> Two years ago, im-
pressionable sophomore Spencer
Dow watched his older brother,
Riley, place second at the North
Coast Section wrestling cham-
pionships.
So, pr ior to Spencer ’s
160-pound NCS semifinal at
James Logan High on Satur-
day, a match with an automatic
state berth at stake, “all I could
think about was Riley and his
experience.”
The Redwood High senior
won his first four matches at
NCS, including the semifinal,
before eventually losing to De
La Salle’s Ankhaa Enkhman-
dakh in Saturday night’s final.
Dow will represent Marin at
next week’s 46th annual state
championships in Bakersfield.
“It was a little bit of deja vu,”
Dow said of his second-place
finish at NCS, the same as his
brother in 2016. “I followed in
his footsteps and, I guess, came
up clutch when it counted,
punching my ticket to state.”
“So many emotions. It was one
of the best feelings of my life. To
see the four-plus years of work
that I’ve devoted to this sport all
come together, and to get the job
done, it was amazing.”

wind at their backs in the
first half. The Branson girls
opted for the same strategy
in their championship vic-
tory against Piedmont.
“There’s no question
that the wind was a con-
cern for us,” Kalkstein said.
“We won the coin toss and
chose to go into the wind
and really didn’t know what
we were going to get. We
played Saint Mary’s twice
last year but hadn’t seen
them this year. We knew
they were very much an im-
proved side. The last game
we had against them in the
NCS last year was a tough
game. Winning that coin
toss was a pretty impor-
tant piece for us.”
The Panthers (14-4-4)
created the first chance of
the second half as their shot
on target took a deflection
but did little to trouble MA
goalie Jasper Mercy, who
quickly released the ball
downfield so the Wildcats
could catch Saint Mary’s
on the counterattack.
Andoni Etcheverry re-
ceived the ball on the left
wing, made a few moves
to get down the end line
before finding De Petris
inside the 18-yard box.
Et c he ver r y “ h a d a
pretty unreal dribbling
session in the corner and
got down the end line and
just made an easy slot
pass to (DePetris), who
put the ball away,” Jung
said. “That was a huge
game changer because
the momentum immedi-
ately shifted.”
The Wildcats contin-
ued to attack and dou-
bled their advantage in
the 55th minute when De
Petris played a ball out
to Jamasbi, who took a
tough wide to his right
then froze the keeper with
a shot that banged off the
far post and in.

the Bulls had to do endure
something they hadn’t ex-
perienced all season — trail
in a game after Piedmont
(15-4-3) scored on a bicycle
kick that allowed the High-
landers to take a 1-0 lead
into halftime.
“We haven’t trailed since
last season,” Branson for-
ward Callie Jones said. “Ty-
ler said at halftime ‘You
know we haven’t ever been
down so let’s see what we’re
really made of and let’s see
what really happens when
we’re the ones down for
once’.”
Jones — who caused Pied-
mont all kinds of trouble on
the left wing all game long
— was instrumental in the
comeback effort.
The Bulls played a ball
in toward Nye Day inside
the 18-yard box in the 54th
minute. Day flicked it on to

controlled it with a good

a shot that rippled the back

and holding them off a little
bit and shooting in,” Jones
said.

ing that much this sea-
son and I’ve had a lot of
chances. It’s just good
that I was able to put this

one of the most important

for the remainder of the sec-
ond half.
“The way they create
chances for one another, the
kind of space they are able
to create for each other be-
cause they all have the abil-
ity to take players on one-
versus-one — any time one
is on the ball, the opponent
has to send in bodies to help,”
Gottschalk said. “Those kids
scored so many goals this
year and 90 percent of the
goals they scored were (as-
sisted by) the other ones.
“Their unselfishness and
play-making ability has
been such a huge part of the
team’s success.”
Aside from the last 10
minutes of the opening half
— when Piedmont scored —
but was denied one goal
on a save by Noah Hat-
tevik and another by the
near post.
The Panthers possessed
the ball inside Mar in
Academy’s half for most
of the final eight minutes,
but had little to show for
it. Mercy made one strong
save in the final minute
and the Wildcats saw out
the game comfortably.
“A lot of it comes down
to heart, desire and grit
so it was good to see us
play well,” Kalkstein said.
“Nobody would have said
this was the best game
we played all year but in
games like this, it’s about
being in that trench and
we were there for that.” Marin Academy’s Kami Jamasbi (3) celebrates scoring a goal against Saint Mary’s.
Branson had the lion’s share
of the ball. Despite that edge
in possession and chances,
though, Jones’ shot was the
lone time they could solve
Piedmont goalie Grayson El-
lis in regulation and over-
time.
“I’ve seen her. I went and
watched her play the last
round and you could see
the athleticism, the confi-
dence, how quick off her line
she was, so it didn’t surprise
me to see her play the way
she did,” Gottschalk said of
Ellis. “Obviously it was a bit
frustrating on our bench
because she made some big
plays that forced it to go to
the end.”

minute to force overtime
and denied Day on a break-
away in the 97th minute.
“I wish I’d been able to get
a goal during regulation but
she did a good job,” Day said.
“It was hard playing against
her.”
In the end, penalties were
required and the Bulls did
enough to back Manthouli’s
heroics to claim the victory.
“The PK shooters (for
Piedmont) weren’t doing
her any favors,” Day said.
“They were incredible shots
and she still managed to get
behind them. I’m so proud
of the way she played. I al-
ways knew she had it in
her and she brought it to-
day. She brought it when we
needed it.”

HONDA CLASSIC

List takes 1-shot lead with Woods 7 back

By Doug Ferguson
The Associated Press
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA.
>> Luke List can understand
why he might be overlooked
in the Honda Classic, even
with a shot at his first PGA
Tour victory.
He felt that Saturday
while taking the lead.
List and Jamie Love-
mark were trading birdies
and keeping clean cards on
the front nine at PGA Na-
tional before an audience of
no more than a few dozen
people. Everyone else was
busy watching Tiger Woods
try to stay close enough to
contention.
“I know I’ll be an under-
dog going against Justin
Thomas and guys like that,
which is fine,” List said.
“It’s kind of nice having Ti-
ger in the field now because
he takes all the attention off
everybody else, so you can
just kind of go out and do
your own thing.”
His thing was strong
enough at PGA National.
List finished with a pair of
birdies around his lone bo-
gey for a 4-under 66, giv-
ing him a one-shot lead over
Thomas and Webb Simp-
son. List was at 7-under 203.
Woods made bogeys on
the notorious par 3s on the
back nine, and finished with
a birdie for a 69. It was the
first time he broke 70 on the
PGA Tour in the 12 rounds
since he first stepped away
with a series of back surger-
ies after the 2015 Wyndham
Championship.
And while only 10 players
were ahead of him, Woods
still was seven shots be-
hind.
“I’ve got a shot going into
tomorrow,” Woods said.
Thomas was never far
away from the lead, and
the final hour changed ev-
erything. The PGA cham-
pion had three birdies over
his last five holes for a 65 to
match the low round of the
toughest tournament this
year on the PGA Tour.
Particularly impressive
was that two of those bird-
ies were on the par-3 15th
and par-3 17th, the second-
and third-toughest holes
at PGA National on Satur-
day. He essentially hit the
same shot, a cut 6-iron into
the wind to right pins and
made 15-footers.
In between those par 3s
was a tough par save when
he hit out of a fairway bun-
ker, into the wind and over
whose round was spoiled by
one shot.
Lovemark holed a chip
for birdie from just off the
12th green to become the
first player to reach 7 under.
On the next hole from the
back of the 13th green, his
chip from 70 feet broke to-
ward the middle of the cup,
dove into the left side and
spun out.
But his 7-iron into the
wind and over the water on
the 15th ballooned in the
air and never had a chance,

COLLEGE SOFTBALL
Dominican nursing, hitting its way to success
By Ian Ross
iross@marinij.com
@IRossMIJ on Twitter
For nursing majors like
Gaby Katafias and Karitza
Reyes, finding a school
where they could purse
their academic dreams and
also play softball on the side
proved to be a bit of a chal-
lenge.
“All the other schools told
you that you could only do
nursing or you could only
softball,” Katafias said. “You
couldn’t do both, so Domin-
ican was really good. They
understood that academics
was my priority. I was here
to get a degree and soft-
ball was kind of something
I was lucky I could do on
the side.
Katafias estimates that
half the players on the Do-
minican University softball
team are nursing majors
and with that comes the
challenge of trying to jug-
gle a demanding academic
curriculum with weight-
room sessions, practices,
and softball games.
“We pretty much get
asked that a least one time
a week — how do you guys
do it?” Reyes said. “Our an-
swer is always we’re used to
that. That’s our life and we
don’t know anything differ-
ent. That helps in a way, not
knowing what it’s like with-
out softball. We learned
how to deal with it, how
to handle everything and
it definitely helps having
other nurses on the team
and having other nurses
in your class that you have
classes with and clinicals
with just because you have
somebody there for you, to
support you and help you.”
The demands placed on
student athletes who are
also nursing majors can be
pretty significant. Katafias
detailed a typical Wednes-
day for her, which begins
as early as 7 a.m. with a
weight-room session and
is followed by a non-stop
gauntlet of classes (four
hours), practice (two hours)
and more classes (another
five hours) that doesn’t
wrap up until 8 p.m.
“It’s pretty busy, but I’ve
never known a life without
being a student-athlete so

it’s kind of just expected,”
Katafias said.
Road trips to places like
San Diego, Hawaii and Utah
can also present a certain
set of challenges. Nursing
students are only allowed to
miss two classes a year and
sometimes the team has to
travel without its full com-
plement of players.
“When they come (to Do-
minican) they know that
their schedule is going to
be tough and demanding
but that’s what they sign
up for,” Dominican coach
Juliana Santos said. “That
being said, that’s a com-
mitment that they have to
make but it’s a great oppor-
tunity that Dominican af-
fords the student-athletes
that other places do not.
“It’s tough on both ends.
It’s definitely tough for the
girls but it beneficial in the
end.”
Doing homework or
studying during load road
trips or workout sessions has
become pretty much stan-
dard for the nursing majors.
Santos “is really good if
she knows we have a big
test coming up,” Katafias
said. “When we’re doing

Roach, a Marin Acad-

named the Northwest Con-
ference’s Player of the Year
earlier this week, shot 9-for-
14 from the field, including
5-of-6 from beyond the arc.
He added four rebounds
and three assists.
The Pirates only two
losses in conference play
this season came at the
hands of Whitman.
• The Dominican Univer-
sity men’s basketball led at
halftime but wound up los-
ing its final game of the sea-

78-69. The loss extended
the Penguins’ losing streak
to nine games.
Senior Jeremiah Gray

his final game for Domini-

With Santos taking over
as the interim head coach
this season after serving as
an assistant last year, the
team has done noticeably
better in the batter’s box.
The Penguins are hitting
.285 as a team this season
and have hit 12 home runs
while allowing just two.
“Last year I was in charge

GIANTS SPRING TRAINING
Stratton throws 2 scoreless innings for SF
By Kerry Crowley
Bay Area News Group
GLENDALE, ARIZ. >> The bases
were loaded and Chris
Stratton’s pitch count was
on the rise.
Bruce Bochy sets strict
limits for spring train-
ing games, so Los Angeles
Dodgers second baseman
Chase Utley was probably
Stratton’s last hitter.
Last season, Stratton
might have turned toward
the dugout. When pressure
built up, the right-hander
wanted a tip from a coach
or a clue as to how to get
himself out of a jam. On
Saturday, Stratton never
sought an answer. Matt
Cain helped him break that
habit.
“Cain pulled me aside af-
ter a game and said, ‘Hey
man, be weary about when
you’re looking in because
they think you want them
to come get you,’ ” Strat-
ton said. “Well I definitely
don’t want them to come
get me, and I explained to
him that sometimes Rags
(Dave Righetti) will have
something for you that will
be able to help you out. And
when I explained that to
him, he said, ‘I did the same
thing. When I was younger,
A’S SPRING TRAINING
Cotton turns in best performance
of Oakland’s rotation battle so far
By Martin Gallegos
Bay Area News Group
MESA, ARIZ. >> The Oakland
A’s believe Jharel Cotton
has the raw talent to be a
top of the staff pitcher, but a
struggle with confidence on
the mound last season has
him battling just to make
the rotation this spring. It’s
still early, but Cotton should
definitely gain some confi-
dence after his first outing.
In what was the most
dominant outing of any
A’s starting rotation hope-
ful this spring, Cotton daz-
zled in an 8-3 win over the
Padres on Saturday. Cotton
struck out five of the seven
batters he faced, allowing
just one walk and no hits
over two scoreless innings
and earning the praise of
manager Bob Melvin.
“Jharel was really good
today and not just because
of the strikeouts,” Melvin
said. “We’ve been asking
him to do some things me-
chanically and he did them
today. When you’re out there
trying to perform from day
one, it’s tough to try to go
through some adjustments.
Ultimately, we think it’s
gonna make him better. He
stayed with it today and got
the results on top of it.”
Cotton’s loss of confi-
dence last season came
mainly in his comfort
throwing the changeup af-
ter it would get hit a cou-
ple of times. It’s a pitch that
can make him nearly unhit-
table when he’s on, and one
he plans on throwing more
often this season regardless
of how he’s feeling.
FOWLER SET TO PLAY SUN-
DAY >> A f ter spending
countless hours rehabbing
his knee, Dustin Fowler is
set to finally play in a base-
ball game again.
The A’s outfielder has
been cleared to return to
action and is slated to bat
leadoff and play center field
in Sunday’s game against
the Royals.
“It’s a long time coming,”
Fowler said.
MLB
Clark: Players still concerned about unsigned free agents
By Dave Campbell
The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, FLA. >> Nearly
two full weeks into spring
training, dozens of accom-
plished free agents around
the major leagues are still
unsigned.
There’s a new rule lim-
iting visits to the mound,
too, creating at least some
early confusion about how
to keep track.
So while their collective
bargaining agreement runs
through four more seasons,
I would look in.’ So just be
mindful of that.”
Armed with a newfound
sense of confidence, Strat-
ton reached back and un-
corked a curveball that
buckled Utley’s knees. It
wasn’t a pretty second in-
ning, but thanks to an old
tip from Cain, Stratton
completed his first Cactus
League start without sur-
rendering a run.
The San Francisco Giants
built off of two innings of
scoreless work from Strat-
ton and captured a 9-3 vic-
tory over the Dodgers at
Camelback Ranch on Sat-
urday. Hector Sanchez, Mac
Williamson and Kyle Jensen
all homered while Orlando
Calixte, Gregor Blanco,
Miguel Gomez and Chase
d’Arnaud each recorded
two-hit games.
As several hitters im-
pressed their manager on
Saturday, Stratton’s ability
to escape early jams also
caught Bochy’s eye.
“What a great job (Strat-
ton) did today pitching in
traffic,” Bochy said. “Both
innings he had to make
pitches to get out of and
that’s always a great sign.
I thought he had good stuff
and did a great job. Good
start for him.”
A’s pitcher Jharel Cotton struck out five and allowed no hits over two scoreless innings
against the Padres at Hohokam Stadium on Saturday in Mesa, Ariz.
Fowler will be playing
in his first baseball game
since June 30, 2017, when
he sustained a devastating
knee injury in his major
league debut that ruptured
his right patellar tendon on
a collision with an electri-
cal box down the right field
line in Chicago with the
Yankees.
The gruesome injury oc-
curred in the first inning,
preventing him from get-
ting his first big league at-
bat and requiring season-
ending surgery.
“Make sure we get him
an at-bat!” Melvin said.
Fowler was acquired by
the A’s last July as part of
the deal that sent Sonny
Gray to New York. Af-
ter arriving to Oakland
in crutches, Fowler went
through a long and grueling
rehab process to get back to
full health this spring.
Fowler, 23, was a highly-
touted prospect with the
Yankees and is now pro-
players have been express-
ing more frustration with
owners lately than usual
during an offseason marked
by increased tension be-
tween the sides.
“The goal of collective
bargaining is not labor
peace. It’s a fair and equi-
table deal. Fifteen months
in, we’re seeing things that
we’ve never seen before,
and that raises concerns,”
union leader Tony Clark
said. “We’ll have to figure

the longer term how those

Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers at Scottsdale
Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Considered a frontrunner
to start at the back end of
the Giants’ rotation, Strat-
ton is working to win one of
the jobs Cain held down at
the beginning of last year.
For the first time since
2005, the Giants will be-
gin a season without the
three-time All-Star in the

Melvin has been im-
pressed w ith Fowler’s
“smooth” movement in the
outfield, but said Fowler’s
role as the everyday leadoff
man in center field is not
guaranteed.
TRIGGS RETURNS >> Andrew
Triggs kept the date of
his last start, June 9, en-
graved in his mind. It was
soon after that start when
he underwent season-end-
ing surgery on his left hip.

spring feeling fully recov-
ered from the hip injury
during fielding drills and
bullpen sessions, but Sat-
urday’s game against the
Padres was his first chance
to test it out in a real game.
The results were positive.
“It’s reassuring for sure,”
Triggs said. “When you get
that game adrenaline and
there’s someone wearing
a different uniform in the
concerns can be addressed,
because invariably if they
are affecting the industry
adversely, everybody should
have that concern.”
Clark began his annual
tour of camps on Saturday
with Boston. Clark said after
the meeting in the Red Sox
clubhouse that the union’s
special training camp for
free agents in Bradenton
will stay open indefinitely.
About one-third of the 166
players who exercised free
agency rights last November
have not reached a contract
last September, and turned
in a memorable closing act
with five innings of two-hit
ball against the Padres on
the penultimate day of the
regular season.
When Cain walked off
the field at AT&T Park to a
standing ovation last fall,
he took with him the les-
sons and knowledge he ac-
quired over a 13-year career.

and you don’t really know
until you get out there. I
was really pleased with
how everything felt.”
With his only real blem-
ish a two-run home run
surrendered to Franchy
Cordero, Triggs registered
a final line of three hits,
three runs, two strikeouts
and a walk in 1 2/3 innings
pitched, reaching the pitch
limit of 40 set by Melvin.
NUNEZ PULLS HAMSTRING
>> Renato Nunez’s quest to
crack the A’s Opening Day
roster took a hit.
The A’s power-hitting
prospect had gotten off to
a nice start in the club’s
first two spring games by
reaching base in his first
four plate appearances and
impressing Melvin with his
defense at third base, but
Nunez pulled his left ham-
string as he was scoring on
an RBI single from Sheldon
Neuse in the second inning
on Saturday.
agreement, including stars
like starting pitcher Jake
Arrieta and third baseman
Mike Moustakas.
Signings have begun to
pick up over the past week,
though. Clark acknowledged
not every player will find a
team.
Major League Base-
ball, in a statement earlier
this month, attributed the
amount of unsigned players
to a misread of the market-
place and denied any de-
liberate attempt at fielding
noncompetitive clubs.
MARINIJ.COM
For the young pitchers com-
ing of age in the midst of a
dreadful season, Cain’s de-
parture was a critical loss.
“(Cain) was just an easy
guy to lean on and I think
he knew his time was kind
of winding down so I think
he wanted to pour as much
as he could not only into
me but Ty Blach and some
of the younger guys,” Strat-
ton said. “He was just the
one that would talk to you
about being a professional
and just how to attack each
day.”
The Giants selected Cain
in the first round of the
2002 draft and ushered him
up to the big leagues in Au-
gust 2005, when he was just
20 years old. Ten years later,
San Francisco tabbed Strat-
ton in the first round, pick-
ing the Mississippi State
product a few months be-
fore his 22nd birthday.
While Cain took the fast
lane through the minors,
Stratton was stuck in a
traffic jam. Once Stratton
arrived at the destination,
though, the paths they trav-
eled hardly mattered. Cain
had plenty of advice to of-
fer, and Stratton thinks he
still does.

MLB
Ohtani has mixed results
in first start with Angels
By Bernie Wilson
The Associated Press
TEMPE, ARIZ. >> Shohei
Ohtani didn’t quite daz-
zle in his spring pitching
debut with the Los Ange-
les Angels.
Maybe thin gs w ill
change when he swings
the bat for the first time
in a Cactus League game.
T he s t a r t wo -w ay
player from Japan had
mixed results in his first
big league mound appear-
ance Saturday, when he
allowed a home run and
didn’t make it through his
scheduled two innings in
a 6-5 victory against the
Milwaukee Brewers.
The 23-year-old right-
hander threw some nice
pitches, including a fast-
ball clocked at 97 mph,
and a curveball that came
across at 69 mph.
But he also struggled
with his fastball com-
mand in allowing two
runs, one earned, and two
hits in 1 1-3 innings. Keon
Broxton tagged him for a
home run leading off the
second inning.
“Besides the results, I
mean, I had a lot of fun
out there, so I think it
went all well,” Ohtani
said through a translator.
He struck out two and
walked one. He threw 31
pitches, 17 for strikes.
Ohtani didn’t hit — he
wasn’t in manager Mike
Scioscia’s batting order.
He’s been launching
some long home runs in
batting practice.
“I had a lot of fun out
there today and obvi-
ously I’m excited to hit
and pitch again, and I
just want to keep on get-
ting better and have good
results from here on out,”
he said.
Scioscia said Ohtani
will hit early in the week,
as the designated hitter.
“It was great to see
him,” Scioscia said. “I
think he did enough
to where we certainly
learned some things. He
and Martin worked some
things out and I think it
will be a step forward
next time for him. But
to get him out there for
the first time was great.
He threw all his pitches.
Some were really what we
would expect him to be
and some he just lost his
release point on. But it’s
a step forward, for sure.”
Paired with catcher
Mar tin Maldonado,
Ohtani started five of
his seven batters with
balls, including lead-
off man Jonathan Villar,
who worked the count to
3-1 before hitting a dou-
ble that bounced over
the fence in left-center.
Ohtani struck out Nate
Orf before walking Ji-
Man Choi.

ber and just saying, ‘Hey
man, what are your plans?’”
Stratton said. “You know, if
you don’t sign back, what
do you want to do? He’s 33
years old so he’s got a lot of
life left ahead. He said, ‘I’ve
just got so much knowledge
that you kind of feel like you
need to give it back to some-
body.’ He thinks he’d be do-
ing the game a disservice if
he didn’t at least help out.”
Notes
• Bochy will fly to San Di-
ego Sunday morning to at-
tend a memorial service for
former Padres general man-
ager Kevin Towers. Giants
bench coach Hensley Meu-
lens will manage the club in
Bochy’s absence.
• Bochy said Buster Posey
tweaked an ankle, so the Gi-
ants will hold Posey out of
the lineup for Sunday’s con-
test against the Cubs.
• Shortstop Brandon
Crawford and Austin Jack-
son won’t debut until March
1. Bochy said neither player
is injured, but the Giants
want to be cautious and
ensure Crawford’s throw-
ing arm and Jackson’s legs
have enough strength to
play consistently when they
do debut in Cactus League
games.
ting, Ohtani threw a wild
pitch and Maldonado
threw the ball into cen-
ter field for an error while
trying to get Choi at sec-
ond base, allowing Vil-
lar to score with an un-
earned run.
Ohtani allowed Brox-
ton’s homer to left on a
1-1 count.
Ohtani, who spent five
seasons with the Nip-
pon Ham Fighters before
signing with the Angels
as an international free
agent on Dec. 10, said he
needs to locate his fast-
ball better rather than
leaving it over the plate,
which is what happened
against Villar and Brox-
ton. He said he liked the
movement on his forkball,
but that his slider “didn’t
look too well, so that’s
something I need to work
on for my next start.”
The Angels paid a $20
million posting fee to the
Ham Fighters. Ohtani,
who will be under the
Angels’ contractual con-
trol for six years, signed
a minor league contract
and can receive up to
$2,315,000 in interna-
tional bonus money from
the Angels.
Ohtani likely could
have received a deal
worth more than $100
million if he had waited
two years to move state-
side, but he wasn’t in-
terested in delaying his
progress for money.
“It’s still too early to
tell but I think I’m tak-
ing the right step, going
in the right direction,” he
said. “It was just the first
start so we’ll see from
here.”
T he Brewers were
mostly impressed.
“I think he’s got great
stuff,” Broxton said. “I
only saw fastballs, but
the off-speed I saw earlier
looked like it was pretty
good. ... I think there’s def-
initely more there. He’s
got a good arm; a nice
and easy release. I hope it
works out for him.”
Milwaukee’s Brett Phil-
lips took a called third
strike to end the first in-
ning.
“He’s got a really live
arm,” Phillips said. “His
fastball, he might have to
locate it a little better. It
was coming out good but a
little flat. Off-speed looked
really good. He has a good
chance to be really good.”
Phillips was intrigued
by Ohtani’s two-way po-
tential.
“If you can do it, more
power to you. I hope he
gets a chance because he
proved in Japan that he
can hit and pitch. Now
he’s in the highest level
and I hope he gets an op-
portunity to show if he
can do it. He’s earned it.
We’ll see if he gets that
chance.”
