Endangered frogs delay cleanup in Paradise
Fears of harming an endangered frog species have forced crews to delay cleaning debris
from about 800 properties in Paradise, angering some residents anxious to start rebuilding

X Prize Foundation to

LA JOLLA — The X Prize Foundation is

X Prize Foundation chairman Peter
Diamandis made the announcement Friday
at the Near Future Summit in La Jolla,
California. Diamandis says it will take
about 100 days to develop the rules for the
contest. After that, the foundation will try
to find a sponsor and launch the competi-
tion.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom joined

Nevada, the San Joaquin Valley and parts of

PARADISE — Fears of harming an endan-
gered frog species have forced crews to
delay cleaning debris from about 800 prop-
erties in Paradise, angering some residents
anxious to start rebuilding their homes.
Those tasked with debris removal have
been told to wait until state and federal offi-
cials reach an agreement on guidelines to
address the environmental concerns, The
Sacramento Bee reported Friday.
Construction projects often require state
environmental inspections because of con-
cerns about sensitive species.
The revelation that the cleanup of some
stream-side properties destroyed by the
November blaze are now on hold triggered a
strong public rebuke Thursday from two
local legislators who said they heard about
it from angry constituents.
In statement calling the situation absurd,
Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Tehama, and
Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba
City, lamented “that frogs, birds and water-
ways are causing work to stop in some
areas.”
The National Weather Service says the
late-season stormy weather continuing
Friday is due to a low-pressure system drop-
ping southward through the region.
A winter weather advisory remains in
effect for high elevations of the Sierra due to
more snow in the range, which is already
laden with a well-above-average snowpack.
The weather service said overnight accu-
mulations include 8 to 12 inches (20.3 to
30.4 centimeters) at Aspendell and Lake
Sabrina.

Space-tourism entering the ‘home
stretch’ toward commercial flight
By Morgan Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA FE, N. M. — Billionaire
Richard Branson is moving Virgin
Galactic’s winged passenger rocket
and more than 100 employees from
California to a remote commercial
launch and landing facility in southern
New Mexico, bringing his space-
tourism dream a step closer to reality.
Branson said Friday at a news confer-
ence that Virgin Galactic’s develop-
ment and testing program has
advanced enough to make the move to
the custom-tailored hangar and runway
at the taxpayer-financed Spaceport
America facility near the town of Truth
or Consequences.
Virgin Galactic CEO George
Whitesides said a small number of
flight tests are pending. He declined to
set a specific deadline for the first com-
mercial flight.
An interior cabin for the company’s
space rocket is being tested, and pilots
and engineers are among the employ-
ees relocating from California to New
Mexico. The move to New Mexico
puts the company in the “home
stretch,” Whitesides said.
The manufacturing of the space vehi-
cles by a sister enterprise, The
Spaceship Company, will remain
based in the community of Mojave,
California.
Taxpayers invested over $200 mil-
lion in Spaceport America after

STATE/NATION
Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson poses for a portrait in his suite at the

Richardson, a Democrat, pitched the
plan for the facility, with Virgin

Virgin Galactic’s spaceship develop-
ment has taken far longer than expect-
ed and had a major setback when the
company’s first experimental craft
broke apart during a 2014 test flight,
killing the co-pilot.

profound change.
“Our future success as a species rests
on the planetary perspective, ”
Branson said. “The perspective that we
know comes sharply into focus when
that planet is viewed form the black
sky of space.”
Branson described a vision of hotels
in space and a network of spaceports
allowing supersonic, transcontinental
travel anywhere on earth within a few
hours. He indicated, however, that
building financial viability comes
first.

Court rules immigrants
can be deported for marijuana crime
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court has ruled that
California’s legalization of marijuana doesn’t protect
immigrants from deportation if they were convicted of pot
crimes before voters approved the new law in 2016.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco
denied on Friday the appeal of a woman who was convicted
in 2014 of possession of marijuana for sale.
Claudia Prado, who is in Orange County jail facing depor-
tation, got a state court to reduce her felony conviction to a
misdemeanor under the new law. Prado then applied for
political asylum, arguing that she should not be removed
because she was longer guilty of a felony crime.
However, the appeals court said in a 3-0 ruling that feder-
al immigration law does not recognize the state’s decision
to reclassify a valid conviction. The court also said her con-
viction was reclassified for policy reasons, but it was not
overturned or expunged from the records.
“Because Prado does not challenge the validity of her
conviction, it retains its immigration consequences,” the
ruling said.
Prado entered the U.S. from Mexico with her parents in
1972, when she was 6 months old. She became a legal resi-
dent in 1980.
An email message seeking comment from her attorney
has not been returned.

Pentagon shifting $1.5B to border wall
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is shift-
ing $1.5 billion in funds originally targeted
for support of the Afghan security forces and
other projects to help pay for construction of
nearly 80 miles (130 kilometers) of wall at
the U.S.-Mexican border, officials said
Friday.
Congress was notified of the move Friday.
It follows the Pentagon’s decision in March
to transfer $1 billion from Army personnel
budget accounts to support wall construc-
tion. Some lawmakers have been highly crit-
ical of the Pentagon shifting money not
originally authorized for border security.
The combined total of $2.5 billion is in
response to President Donald Trump’s decla-
ration of a national emergency at the border,
where Customs and Border Protection per-
sonnel are struggling to cope with increas-
ing numbers of Central American families
attempting to gain entry. Trump vetoed
Congress’ attempt to reverse his emergency
declaration.
In all, the Pentagon is expected to shift
about $6.1 billion to help build a border
wall, including about $3.6 billion from mil-
itary construction projects, some of which
will be delayed. The Pentagon has not yet
announced which projects will be delayed in
order to free up those funds.

Risky politics? Trump wields his tariffs as a weapon at home
By Steve Peoples and Nick Riccardi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — His trade war already raging
worldwide, President Donald Trump on
Friday brandished his aggressive actions as
a political weapon at home, too, casting
himself as a fighter for American workers
and scorning his chief Democratic rivals as
weak.
Trump’s actions have already caused eco-
nomic harm to some of the regions that
backed him in 2016. Yet the Republican
president is showing little regard for the
political risks — or his party’s traditional
embrace of free trade — as he stakes out his
position on an issue that could define the
2020 presidential contest as much as any
other.

contender, in a social media post while

Later, a Pentagon spokesman, Tom

Some in Congress, however, are opposed
to the use of Pentagon funds to build the
wall.
“Once again, the president has shamefully
ignored his oath of office to preserve, pro-

Experts see Russia fingerprints on North Korea’s missile

By Eric Talmadge
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — The three new missiles North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un has tested over
the past week are eerily familiar to military
experts: They look just like a controversial
and widely copied missile the Russian mili-
tary has deployed to Syria and has been
actively trying to sell abroad for years.
Ending a pause in ballistic missile
launches that began in late 2017, and
alarming North Korea’s neighbors, Kim
personally supervised the launch of the
first missile from the country’s east coast
on Saturday and two more from the west on
Thursday. All splashed down in the
Pacific.
The missiles were short-range and the
launches do not mean Kim has decided to
end his self-imposed moratorium on testing
long-range missiles that could reach the
United States mainland. They do indicate,

safety of American allies and U.S. forces in
the region.
The missiles bear a strong resemblance to
the Russian-designed Iskander, a short-
range, nuclear-capable ballistic missile that
has been in the Russian arsenal for more
than a decade.
“There are Russian technology finger-
prints all over it,” said Marcus Schiller, a
leading expert on North Korean missiles
who is based in Germany.
He added that short of actually procuring
the missiles from Russia, the North could
have had key parts delivered from some-
where else, perhaps not directly from
Russia, while making components such as
the outer shell, or airframe, domestically.
The Iskander, or something like it, would
be of particular interest to North Korea.
It’s designed to fly at a flattened-out alti-
tude of around 40 kilometers (25 miles) and
to make in-flight guidance adjustments.
Both capabilities exploit weaknesses in the
U.S. and South Korean missile defenses that
are now in place, primarily Patriot missile
batteries and the THAAD anti-missile
defense system.

by Iranian proxies, such as Shia militias in

Several officials said they have not yet
seen any tangible move by Iran in reaction
to the U.S. military shifts in the area. But
they also noted there have been no attacks.

Students need their phones at school
By Shavonne Lin
I
n recent decades, the use of tech-
nology at school has become
deeply embedded in our everyday
lives, and most recently, education.
At San Mateo High School, we have
Chromebooks and computers in
almost every classrooms. Teachers are
able to post assignments online,
without having to print multiple
copies of everything for their stu-
dents. Students can use their phones
and Chromebooks to look at answers,
check grades, work on assignments
and collaborate with others. The
internet is a rich source of knowledge
for students, with information about
anything available right at your fin-
gertips. Technology in education is
truly an invaluable and irreplaceable
tool.
Recently, there has been widespread
talk at my school about the adminis-
tration implementing Yondr pouches
in the next school year. Yondr is a
company that specializes in making
pouches that help keep areas phone-
free. You place your phone in the
Yondr pouch and it automatically
locks. Once you leave the phone-free
space, you tap the pouch against a
special unlocking point, which then
allows the phone to be taken out.
Yondr has been used in concerts to
create phone-free spaces, and now
schools are starting to get in on it. If
implemented, San Mateo High School
will require students to keep their
phones in the pouches for the entire
duration of the school day, during
class, passing periods and lunch. By
doing this, the school hopes to create
a phone-free school environment for
more enhanced, focused learning.
Although I am against the idea of
having to lock up my phone while at
school, I do understand why the
school is considering using it.

We need education reform
Editor,
The article, “We should ... fund our
schools in a better way” from the
May 9 edition of the San Mateo Daily
Journal brings up a important issue
that my community faces on a daily
basis.
Many children with parents work-
ing two jobs to make ends meet do
not have the ability to hire private
tutors or have parents that can help
them with school assignments. If
these students do not have the sup-
port of smaller classes and resources,
they will fail. We see this continuous-

Technology,
despite all it has
done to make our
daily lives and
learning easier,
also comes with its
downsides. People
today can spend
hours upon hours
on their smart-
phones. Teens are
often distracted by their phones dur-
ing class, checking their social media
accounts and texting their friends
instead of paying attention. Phones
can keep people absorbed in the
online world, and from interacting
with those around them. Sometimes
we should put away our phones to
concentrate on other, more important
things.
It could be a good idea to lock up
everyone’s phones during class. That
way, in-class distractions will be min-
imized, cheating (taking pictures of
test answers, texting friends test ques-
tions, etc. ) would be non-existent,
and classrooms would be places where
students interact more with each other
face to face. But is it really necessary
to spend tens of thousands of dollars
on these pouches (about $35 for each
student)? The same thing can be
achieved by shutting off every phone
and putting them in a bucket at the
start of class.
Having students’ phones locked
away for the entire school day would
just be a huge inconvenience for us. I
feel adults think teenagers are
obsessed with their phones. If we had
a choice, we would just constantly be
on our phones, texting, taking pic-
tures and scrolling away through end-
less Instagram pictures. While that
may be true for some people, what I
think that adults don’t understand just
how much students need their phones
in their daily lives, especially at
school. At school, I use my phone
mainly for educational purposes.
ly in our community. Young juveniles
enter the justice system because at
times they struggle with school and
lose interest. They do not set goals
for higher education as they are
“stuck” in the justice system. If these
juveniles do not end up in jail, they
end up in low-paying jobs with mini-
mal education because they do not
have enough passion for school to
create goals for higher education.
This may only be a small percentage
of our students but that percentage is
still needed to create life-saving med-
ications, new technology and most
importantly, a healthy society.

OPINION
Outside of class, during lunch, I use it
to review my online notes and Quizlet
flashcards. I use it to complete and
turn in last-minute assignments and
study for a test next period. I know
many other students do the same
thing. Without my phone, it would be
more difficult for me to study and work
efficiently in such a short amount of
time (30 minutes). For the busy stu-
dent in a fast-paced environment, not
having a phone outside of class at
school would be a obstacle to academ-
ic success.
Also, phones are needed by students
to communicate with their parents. I
use my phone to text my parents
about pickup times, school events,
emergencies, etc. If Yondr is used for
the entire school day, students would
have no way to efficiently communi-
cate with their parents. We would have
to go down to the office to call our
parents every time. In a school with
hundreds and hundreds of students,
that would not be feasible.
Overall, technology in schools is
needed, whether in class
(Chromebooks) or outside of class.
Not having phones in class could be
beneficial, but students still need their
phones during lunch and passing peri-
ods.

Reimagining parks
in our downtown
W
hen you think about a park, what comes to
mind? Grass? Trees? Swing sets? Perhaps some
picnic benches? Although creating such a park
in Redwood City’s downtown sounds good at first, from
what I’ve recently learned about creating parks in similar
spaces, such a park probably isn’t a good idea. While a
swath of green would provide a welcome break from down-
town’s sea of asphalt, concrete, brick and glass, it would be
unlikely to draw in the numbers of people needed to make a
park successful.
The Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation has been
hosting a fascinating three-part series of panel discussions
that explore the opportunities Redwood City has for a
downtown park. They’ve brought in creative professionals
experienced in designing innovative outdoor spaces to tell
us how they successfully (and, in some cases, unsuccessful-
ly) converted urban spaces into places for relaxation and
play — and how Redwood City might do something simi-
lar.
Wednesday night was the sec-
ond of the three panel discus-
sions, with the third scheduled
for May 23. While each is osten-
sibly focused on one of the three
city-owned sites that are candi-
dates for conversion to a park,
in reality most of the discus-
sions have been more general in
nature. Rather than presenting
concrete ideas for specific sites,
the speakers have instead
sparked new thoughts about what
a park can be. As for specific
Greg Wilson
ideas for our sites, those will come later, during the design
process.
The Redwood City Council is focusing on three sites:
Library Lot A (the parking lot where Main Street meets
Middlefield Road); the Main Street/City Hall lot (the large
lot behind City Hall and the Jefferson Avenue Post Office);
and both banks of Redwood Creek from Bradford Street to
Highway 101. While the council might well choose just
one of these sites, they would rather develop all three. As it
turns out, these sites all are tied together by Redwood
Creek, which runs in a culvert beneath both parking lots
before emerging at Bradford Street. Given the importance of
Redwood Creek in Redwood City’s history — arguably, the
city’s very existence is due to this creek — a connected
series of parks that pay homage to this historic waterway
seems natural. And together these parks would be key to a
mile-long path running from Redwood City’s main library
out to the Bay Trail, on the east side of Highway 101.
Although two of the sites today are parking lots, their
differing sizes and surroundings would likely be reflected in
each park’s purpose and use. The library lot, for instance, is
smaller and is exposed to busy streets on two sides. Thus, it
may be a good place for supervised activities that align
closely with the library. The Main Street/City Hall lot, on
the other hand, is large and well protected from the sur-
rounding streets, enabling a variety of simultaneous activi-
ties. While this site may not be entirely redeveloped —
some parking may be retained, and emergency vehicle
access must remain for the buildings that wrap the site’s
perimeter — it is nevertheless large enough to support play
areas, food trucks, shade structures or whatever else the
community deems appropriate.
From the presentations and the subsequent discussions,
it’s clear that the community must have ample opportuni-
ties to provide input on the design process. However, it
isn’t enough to simply take surveys. People often don’t
know what they truly want until they’ve experienced it.
Thus, expect inexpensive pilot projects, likely in the form
of “pop up” parks, on the sites in question. And don’t
expect the parks to have a singular focus. Instead, they’ll
likely be designed to address a wide variety of interests.
The panel discussions also taught that for an urban park
to be successful, the city cannot just build it and then sit
back. Ongoing efforts need to be made to keep the park
alive and vibrant. Much like the many popular activities
that take place in Courthouse Square, events need to be
deliberately programmed, and need to change as necessary
to keep things fresh and new. Not that our new parks should
replicate what is going on in Courthouse Square, though.
Instead they should provide additional, complementary
activities better suited to the unique characteristics of each
park site. And the city must be willing to experiment with
those activities, building on successes and rapidly winding
down failures.
Assuming that the city can find the money, someday we
may just have a set of downtown parks that encourage more
people of all ages to come to, and linger in, downtown
Redwood City. They may not be what initially comes to
mind when one hears the word “park,” but based on the
vision being presented through the Downtown Parks
Opportunities speaker series, these parks should be
vibrant, exciting places of which Redwood City can be
proud.

Stocks rebound as hopes rise
that trade tensions will ease
By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wall Street capped a turbulent week with a
late-day rally Friday after shaking off an
early slump triggered by the latest escala-
tion in the trade war between the U.S. and
China.
The market fell sharply in the early going
after the U.S. raised tariffs on $200 billion
worth of Chinese goods when negotiators
failed to reach a deal. Hours later, remarks
from President Donald Trump and Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin gave investors
reason for optimism.
First, Mnuchin told CNBC that the trade
talks had been “constructive, ” which
spurred the market’s rebound. Then, in a
late-afternoon tweet, Trump suggested the
tariffs could be removed and that the trade
talks “will continue.”

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who many
nations have recognised as the country's rightful interim ruler,
speaks during a news conference.
Guaido promises to
persevere despite
growing crackdown
By Joshua Goodman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leader
Juan Guaido is looking to jump-start his movement to oust
Nicolas Maduro in the wake of last week’s failed military
uprising, promising to persevere in the face of a deepening
crackdown.
In an interview Friday with the Associated Press, Guaido
reiterated his willingness to consider inviting foreign
troops to force Maduro from power, echoing the line from
Washington that “all options” are on the table for dealing
with Venezuela’s rapidly-escalating crisis.
He blamed the socialist leader for blocking all attempts
to negotiate a solution and noted: “The biggest obstacle to
that is Maduro.”
The 35-year-old national assembly president, who the
U.S. and some 50 other countries recognize as Venezuela’s
rightful leader, sat for the interview at his party’s headquar-
ters two days after the No. 2 leader in congress was jailed
and as several other lawmakers took refuge in foreign
embassies. All are facing arrest for joining Guaido and a
small cadre of security forces in a military rebellion April
30 that was the closest the opposition has come in years to
overthrowing Maduro.
Yet, Guaido isn’t showing signs of fatigue.
He talks serenely and smiles widely when well-wishers
huddle with him in prayer. While the Maduro government
hasn’t dared arrest him — the U.S. has warned of severe con-
sequences should he be harmed — he said security forces
who track his every move could “kidnap” him at any time.
Meanwhile, his fellow activist wife and 2-year-old daughter
have been living outside Venezuela for months.
WORLD
WHO warns Ebola could spread
elsewhere if attacks don’t stop
By Krista Larson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAKAR, Senegal — The World
Health Organization warned Friday
that it may not be possible to contain
Ebola to the two affected provinces in
eastern Congo if violent attacks on
health teams continue.
The ominous statement comes amid
escalating violence nine months after
the outbreak began, crippling efforts
to identify suspected cases in the com-
munity and vaccinate those most at
risk. Earlier this week, Mai-Mai mili-
tia fighters attacked the town of
Butembo at the epicenter of the crisis.
The update also noted that a burial
team had been “violently attacked”
after they interred an Ebola victim in
the town of Katwa. The corpses of vic-
tims are highly contagious, requiring
special precautions to ensure the dis-
ease is not transmitted at funerals.
Nearly five days of Ebola response
activities were halted in Butembo and
surrounding areas recently because of
the insecurity, WHO said.
“The ongoing violent attacks sow
fear, perpetuate mistrust, and further
compound the multitude of challenges
already faced by frontline health care
workers,” it said. “Without commit-
ment from all groups to cease these
attacks, it is unlikely that this (Ebola)
outbreak can remain successfully con-
tained in North Kivu and Ituri
provinces.”
David Miliband, president of
International Rescue Committee, has
met with health workers in the region-
al capital of Goma this week. Some
fear it could take another year to get
the disease under control, he said.
“There is a real concern to make sure
it doesn’t spread to Goma,” he said.
“And so this is, I think, a more danger-
ous situation than is widely recognized
outside the country.”

Ex-Fugees rapper charged in campaign finance conspiracy case

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One of the founding
members of the 1990s hip-hop group the
Fugees has been charged in a campaign
finance conspiracy that took place during
the 2012 presidential election, the Justice
Department said Friday.
A four-count indictment accuses Prakazrel
“Pras” Michel of conspiring with fugitive
Malaysian financer Low Taek Jho, usually
known as Jho Low, to make and conceal
foreign campaign contributions. He is
alleged to have used straw donors to give
campaign contributions to a U.S. presiden-
tial candidate, who is
identified in the indict-
ment only as Candidate
A.
Low has gained atten-
tion in the last several
years after U.S. officials
accused him of master-
minding a money laun-
Prakazrel dering and bribery
scheme that pilfered bil-
“Pras” Michel
lions from the
Malaysian state investment fund known as
1MDB. He’s been charged separately by
both U.S. and Malaysian officials in con-
nection with that alleged fraud but remains
at large.
Prosecutors allege that from June to
November 2012, Low directed more than
$21.6 million to be moved from foreign
entities to Michel’s accounts in order to
funnel money into the 2012 presidential
election. They say Michel then paid about
20 straw donors and conduits so they could
make the donations in their names and con-
ceal where the money actually came from,
according to the indictment.
More than $1 million was also sent to an
independent expenditure committee, prose-
cutors said.
“Mr. Michel is extremely disappointed
that so many years after the fact the gov-
ernment would bring charges related to
2012 campaign contributions, ” said
defense lawyer Barry Pollack. “Mr. Michel
is innocent of these charges and looks for-
ward to having the case heard by a jury.”
Representatives for Low said in a state-
ment that he is innocent and the allega-
tions against him “have no basis in fact.”
“Mr. Low has never made any campaign
contributions directly or indirectly in the
U. S. and he unequivocally denies any
involvement in or knowledge of the alleged
activities,” the statement said.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve currently feature

Slomka, president of the Friends of the
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.
As one of the 200 volunteer docents
trained to lead groups through the reserve,
Slomka has been sharing the reserve’s rich
human and geological history with visitors
for years. As the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve
celebrates its 50th year as a marine life
refuge, Slomka and the many volunteers
dedicated to sharing the reserve’s unique dis-
play of sea creatures and coastline are aim-
ing to recognize the many individuals and
agencies that have worked to protect it over
the years.
The late naturalist Bob Breen, former San
Mateo County Supervisor James Fitzgerald
and several public agencies and community
organizations ranging from the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife to the San
Mateo County Parks Foundation have all
had a hand in preserving the refuge and mak-
ing it accessible to the public. And together
Department, the nonprofit is hosting a cel-
ebration of those efforts Saturday at the
place that has drawn so many to the ocean.
“There’s a lot of people who are going at
this from different angles and different per-
spectives,” said Slomka. “It really does
require a village.”
Slomka said the land’s human history is
believed to be hundreds of years old, dating
back to when the Ohlone people lived in the
region. In the late 1800s and early 1900s,
commercial and residential development
took shape along the coast, in part due to
the construction of a railroad bringing peo-
ple to destinations south of San Francisco,
he explained.
Slomka said establishments like
Weinke’s Moss Beach Hotel and Nye’s
Reef Restaurant brought many to the land
that is now the reserve, noting the prac-
tice of harvesting abalone and cooking
them at a restaurant for dinner wasn’t
uncommon. It wasn’t until the late 1960s
that efforts to restrict removal of marine
life from the land gained traction, said
Slomka, who added that Breen, the refuge’s
first park ranger, was among those dedi-
cated to preserving the land extending
from Montara Point to what is now known
In the land’s first year as a refuge, some
800 citations were issued to visitors
attempting to take wildlife from the reserve,
noted Slomka. He said in the years since the
land became a refuge in 1969, other efforts
to preserve coastal biodiversity became law
through the 1990 Marine Resources
Protection Act and 1999 Marine Life
Protection Act. In 1985, Breen founded the
Friends of the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to
spread the word about its history and the
wide array of marine species that call the
reserve home, he said.
A destination for field trips for everyone
from elementary school students to college
students studying marine biology, the
reserve has an active tour schedule, said
Slomka. He added that the tours are timed
around low tide, which gives visitors a
chance to observe sea anemones, hermit
crabs and, on rare occasions, octopus,
among other creatures. For Slomka and
many other volunteers at the reserve, seeing
visitors get excited about learning about
what the reserve has to offer is one of his
favorite parts about spending time there.
“To me, that’s the most satisfying thing,”
he said. “It’s really wonderful when the kids’
eyes light up, they see this stuff and they
really relate to it.”
study pegging the refuge as a high-risk area
in the face of sea level rise has further moti-
vated those invested in the refuge to intro-
duce new visitors to its biodiversity.
Though specific projections of climate
change’s effect on the refuge remain to be
seen, Slomka expected sea level rise to
affect the types of species that call it home.
The Half Moon Bay resident said he’s spo-
ken with many living just a few miles away
from the reserve who haven’t made it there
yet, and hoped Saturday’s event and another
event slated for the fall and set to recognize
the Ohlone’s contributions to the land will
shed even more light on what many consid-
er to be a very special place.
“We really want to love it while we’ve got
it and we want to introduce new people to
it,” he said.
The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve’s 50th
Anniversary “Gathering of the Stewards”

Scots rally for Bay title
Carlmont wins sixth straight, clinches sixth division crown in seven years
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Carlmont baseball team has
battled through adversity all year.
Three weeks ago, following an
eight-inning, 6-4 loss to
Burlingame, the Scots were three
games back of first place.
But the Scots stayed in it. They
beat Burlingame in the second
game of the series, which ignited a
four-game winning streak and
pulled them into a three-way tie
with the Panthers and Menlo
School going into the final week
of the season.
Carlmont extended the streak to
five games following Tuesday’s
win over Terra Nova and Thursday,
the Scots traveled to Pacifica with
a chance to claim at least a share of
the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division title.
But the Scots arrived late to the
game because the bus that was sup-
posed to take the team over the hill
never arrived. The Carlmont
administration wrestled up some
vans and got the team to the coast
with about 40 minutes before game
time.
“We’re being tested before the
game even starts,” said Carlmont
manager Rich Vallero.
When they did take the field, it
was Aiden Woodring who took the
mound. The junior lefty hadn’t
seen much action this season. He

Daly turns PGA
Championship
into sideshow
N
ext week, there will be a legitimate
major championship at Bethpage
Black.
We’ll also get a ridiculous sideshow, at
least for the first couple of days.
John Daly will rip it up in the PGA
Championship — while gripping the wheel
of a golf cart.
Yep, the guardians of the game are accom-
modating a 53-year-old
who spent a good part
of his life not taking
good care of himself
and has zero chance of
winning.

an integral part of
being a pro golfer,”
six-time major champi-
on Nick Faldo said dur-
ing a conference call to
PAUL promote CBS’s cover-
age of the event. “I’ll
NEWBERRY leave it at that.”
Sir Nick is right.
If an arthritic knee won’t allow Daly to
walk such a demanding course — and we’re in
no way questioning his condition — then he
shouldn’t play.
Making matters worse, this dubious deci-
sion denies a deserving player the chance to
take part. The alternate list for the second
major of the year is filled with regulars on
PGA Tour, any of whom could possibly win
the event if they’re on top of their game.
As of Friday, Richy Werenski was the first

Burlingame 2, Menlo 1
A crucial late-inning error
proved to be the difference and
with the regular season coming to
an end, both teams finish in a tie
for second place in the PAL Bay
division.
Both teams qualify for the
Central Coast Section playoffs, as
the top five teams out of the Bay
get in.
The game was tied 1-1 in the
bottom of the sixth inning when
pinch runner Gino Lopiccolo stole
third, forced a wild throw and then
hustled home for what ended up
being the game-winning run.
Both teams only managed five
hits each as they got solid pitch-
ing performances out of their
starters. Burlingame (9-5 PAL Bay,
13-9 overall) sophomore Jacob
Cilia surrendered two hits in five
innings of work while his Menlo
counterpart, senior Justin Nam,
threw 5 2/3 innings, striking out
five and giving up five hits and
five walks in the loss.
Both pitchers did an excellent
job of keeping batters guessing
with their off-speed pitches, but it
was Burlingame sophomore Max
Alvira who ended up getting the
win .
Menlo (9-5, 16-9) had plenty of
opportunities to score multiple
runs, but they left 10 runners on
base and stranded the bases loaded
twice.
The game was scoreless until the
Panthers hit three straight singles
to get the first run on the board.
Senior Chase Funkhouser drove in
the run with a line drive down the
third-base line.
After a two-out walk in the fifth,
Menlo sophomore JC Ng smashed
a pitch into the left-center gap for
an RBI double that tied the game at
1-1.
In the top of the sixth, Menlo
had a chance to take the lead. The
count was full with bases loaded
and two outs, but Alvira main-
tained his composure and got the
clutch strikeout to keep the game
tied. Burlingame then took the
lead in the bottom half of the
inning.
The Knights would not go down
quietly in the final inning. A walk

Capuchino 6, King’s Academy 5
The Mustangs scored two runs in
the bottom of the seventh inning
to beat the Knights and clinch the
fifth and final automatic spot out
of the PAL’s Bay Division.
Capuchino (7-7 PAL Bay, x-x
overall) trailed 5-0 going into the
bottom of the sixth when it scored
four times. The Mustangs then
won the game in walk-off fashion.
Devin Meyer and Jason
Arsenault each drove in a pair of
runs for Capuchino, while
Kenneth Osterlund and Cruise
Thompson had an RBI each.
Arsenault, Osterlund, Thompson
all had two hits for the Mustangs

Ryan Lapuyade earned the win in
relief of Frank Pellegrini, who

Hillsdale 7, Sacred Heart Prep 2
The Knights dealt the Gators a
serious blow to their playoff
hopes by beating them in the reg-
ular-season finale.
A SHP (6-8 PAL Bay, 11-14-1
overall) win would have tied the
Gators with Capuchino for the
fifth place and would have gotten
the final CCS berth by virtue of
the season sweep of the Mustangs.
Hillsdale (4-10, 12-13) took
control of the game with four runs
in the top of the first. Sam
Freeman led the Hillsdale offense
with a pair of RBIs. Antonio
Paolinelli, LP Lyssenko and Reese
Barrelier all drove in a run as well
for the Knights.
Braden Fitzgerald, a freshman,

San Jose’s Joe Pavelski made his return to the lineup in Game 7 against Colorado. Pavelski
missed the first six games as he recovered from a head injury suffered against Vegas.

“There were some years there where I wasn’t
sure,” Binnington said when asked if he ever
doubted he’d become an NHL goalie. “It took a
lot of maturing and experience. I was in the
right place.”
Jones came into the season with much pedi-
gree, having led the Sharks to the Stanley Cup
Final just three years ago. But he was one of
the worst goalies in the league this season
with an .896 save percentage and then was
pulled twice in the first four games of the
opening round against Vegas.
But he rebounded from there with a .928
save percentage in the last 10 games, includ-
ing a franchise-record 58 in a double-overtime
win at Vegas that helped spark a comeback
from 3-1 down in the series.
“There was never a doubt in anybody’s mind
that he’d go out and play well,” teammate
Logan Couture said.
DeBoer said all Jones needed was a few
small adjustments as he had overcompensated
from being too passive late in the season to
being overly aggressive in the first four
games against the Golden Knights.
Having found the happy medium and get-
ting better support from his teammates, who
have limited odd-man rushes, Jones is playing
at a high level once again.
“It’s tough as a goalie, you want to go out
and make a difference and make a big save,” he
said. “You just have to be a little bit more

patient and wait for the game a little bit
more.”
Here are some things to watch in the series:
CHECKERED HISTORY
Both franchises have had their share of
playoff disappointments. The Blues reached
the Cup final their first three years as the top
team in the all-expansion Western Conference
but were swept all three times. They haven’t
been back to the Cup final despite making the
postseason 39 times since.
They lost in the conference final in 1986 to
Calgary, in 2001 to Colorado and three years
ago to the Sharks as they’ve too often had
quality teams that just weren’t good enough.
The Sharks have also been one of the most
consistent teams in the league without win-
ning the ultimate prize. They lost in the con-
ference finals in 2004, 2010 and 2011 before
finally breaking through with the win against
the Blues. But they fell to Pittsburgh in six
games in the Cup final and are running out of
time to deliver a title for 39-year-old star Joe
Thornton.
CAPTAIN COMEBACK
Pavelski has also provided inspiration this
postseason. He was knocked out with a
bloody concussion in Game 7 against Vegas,
leading to a major penalty and four power-
play goals that erased a 3-0 deficit in the third
period. Pavelski then made it back on the ice
for Game 7 last round against Colorado where
he had a goal and an assist in the first period to
spark the win.

ninth alternate named John Daly won the
PGA Championship at Crooked Stick back in
1991.
Since then, Daly’s life has largely been a
well-publicized train wreck, other than that one
week in 1995 when he somehow harnessed his
enormous talent to win a second major champi-
onship at the British Open.
Now, he’s just a soft drinking-swilling, ciga-
rette-smoking caricature of wasted potential.
He has no business scooting around at the PGA
Championship, portraying himself as a wor-
thy player.
“I hope I don’t get a lot of grief from the
fans,” Daly told The Associated Press. “My
knee is screwed. I had the meniscus cut out. I
have osteoarthritis so bad ... I can walk up a
hill, I just can’t walk down one.”
The PGA of America said Daly applied to use
a cart through its American with Disabilities
Act policy and provided “the requisite informa-
tion to allow for a review of his request by the
PGA’s medical team.”
That request was approved, which means
Daly will be the first player to ride in a cart at a
major championship since Casey Martin in
the U.S. Open at Olympic Club in 1998 and
2012.
“I’m happy for him because I know John a
little bit and I know for certain that he’s not
trying to get an advantage,” Martin, who is
now the men’s coach at the University of
Oregon, said in an interview with Golf.com.
“He just wants to play in a tournament he has a
rich history in. He just wants to be part of the
action. I’m grateful that he’s going to get that
chance.”
But Martin’s was a much different case. He
suffers from a birth defect in his right leg that
restricts circulation, making it virtually
impossible for him to walk 18 holes a day
over four rounds. He successfully sued the PGA
Tour for the right to use a cart in a case that
went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
While many golf purists criticized Martin for
Weekend • May 11-12, 2019 15
seeking an accommodation, his was a just
cause. There was nothing he could do about his
condition and, frankly, deserved to be applaud-
ed for overcoming such steep odds to play golf
at the highest levels. Besides, it was such a rare
case, one unlikely to ever come up again.
Daly, on the other hand, may have estab-
lished a troubling precedent.
An arthritic knee is an ailment that countless
people must deal with when they reach their
50s. It’s simply a part of getting old. The fact
that Daly has been overweight for much of his
career, so much so that he underwent lap-band
surgery in 2009, has likely contributed to his
knee issues.
We’re not here to body shame Daly he could
very well be dealing with some genetic issues,
but there’s ample evidence his lifestyle played
a major role in his physical deterioration.
Daly has found his calling on the PGA Tour
Champions, a 50-and-older circuit that allows
the use of carts. Last year, he asked for a cart at
the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado but was
turned down by the USGA, which said the
information he submitted did not support a
waiver to ride. Daly vowed to never play
another USGA event, which is no loss at all for
that organization.
But Daly will be cruising around the PGA
Championship, which is even more galling
when one considers that Bethpage Black does-
n’t even allow the general public to use carts.
On its web site, the state-owned facility is
described as “a difficult and challenging course
that should be played only by low-handicap
golfers. The course is for walkers only.”
If Daly wants to be on Long Island next
week, he should do what he does during
Masters week: Set up his RV in the parking lot
of the nearest Hooters — there’s actually one
around the corner from Bethpage Black — to
sign autographs and sell merchandise for a
still-adoring fan base that views him as some
sort of everyman hero.
Let’s leave the golf to the real players.

and winning a 15-5 decision over Sacred
Heart Prep last week.
But when Woodring walked off the mound
after six innings, he did so having surren-
dered one hit. David Bedrosian came in to
pitch an eventful seventh to give the Scots
a 7-2 victory.
That, coupled with Burlingame’s 2-1 win
over Menlo, gave Carlmont (10-4 PAL Bay,
16-10 overall) the Bay Division champi-
onship, the program’s sixth in seven years.
“I’ve watched [Woodring] evolve, ”
Vallero said. “We had a heart-to-heart (earli-
er in the season) and got on the same page.
… And he’s taken off since.”
Woodring’s opening batter did not por-
tend the type of game he was going to have
as he served up a four-pitch walk to Terra
Nova (3-11, 7-17) leadoff hitter Joey
Gentile. Spencer Karalius followed and
reached on a fielder’s choice, with Gentile
being forced out at second, but Woodring
got a couple of flyout to end the inning.
It also started a string of 11 straight bat-
ters retired. The Tigers did not get another
baserunner until a Jonas Sunga walk to lead
off the fifth. He also walked Josh Catalino,
but got out of the inning with the no-no
intact.
He struckout the first batter to start the
sixth before hitting Gentile with a pitch.

Woodring, punched a 2-1 pitch past short-
stop and into left field to break up the no-hit

Terra Nova’s Spencer Karalius breaks up a

With one out and Bedrosian on first via a

went the opposite way to right for an RBI
double. Jake Robinson followed with a sin-
gle to put runners at the corners before
Daniel Friis cleared the bases with a boom-
ing double to center to put the Scots up 3-0.
“The fact we had a dog fight Wednesday (a

forced to foul Curry. He made both shots
before Harden’s 3 got Houston within five at
112-107 with 24 seconds left.
Playing with a dislocated finger on his
left hand, Curry made two more free throws
before P.J. Tucker hit a 3 for Houston. But
two more free throws by Curry made it 116-
110 with 12.3 seconds left and Harden drib-
bled it off his foot for the last of his six
turnovers.
The Rockets failed to score for a big
chunk of the fourth quarter and had to watch
the Warriors celebrate a series victory on
their home court for the second straight sea-
son after they won the conference finals in
Houston last year. Harden was 11 of 25 from
the field, going 6 of 15 from 3-point range,
and went 7 of 12 on free throws.
Curry struggled early, failing to score in
the first half for the first time in 102 career
playoff games, and had just 10 points
through three. But he got going in the
fourth, scoring 23 points.
There were questions entering the game
about how the Warriors would weather the
loss of Durant — and his more than 34
points a game. But they didn’t seem to miss
a beat, getting 21 from Thompson in the
first half before Curry closed it in the fourth.
The Rockets had a five-point lead to start
the fourth and it was tied at 95 with about 7
1/2 minutes to go after three points by
Golden State’s Shaun Livingston.
Harden and Curry exchanged baskets soon
after that before both teams failed to score
five shots in that stretch and the Warriors
missed four before Kevon Looney made a
layup to put Golden State on top 99-97 with
just under four minutes left.
A 3-pointer by Curry gave the Warriors a
five-point lead before Harden ended a scor-
ing drought by the Rockets of almost four
minutes with a 3-pointer to cut the lead to
102-100 with about 2 1/2 remaining.
Harden was called for a charge after that
before Curry scored all of Golden State’s
points in a 5-2 run that made it 107-102
with 90 seconds left.
TIP-INS
Warri o rs : Durant didn’t make the trip to
Houston, remaining in the Bay Area to
receive treatment for his injury. The
Warriors said he’ll be re-evaluated next
week. ... The Warriors started Andrew Bogut
for Durant and he had three rebounds and
zero points. ... C Damian Jones, who is out
with a torn pectoral muscle, has been

“I never go in (to a game) thinking no-

and in my gut I just felt [Woodring] was
going to have a good game.”

kept the hope alive. In the third, Terra

up and got some breathing room as they
sent nine batters to the plate, knocking
Keller out in the process. DeSmidt opened
the inning with his second double of the
game. Pinch hitter Ryan Busser came up and
bunted a pitch back to Keller, who tried to
throw DeSmidt out at third and instead threw
the ball away, allowing DeSmidt to score.
Logan Snow and Sean Vanderaa later added
RBI singles and J.P. Avila scored on an error VETERINARY CENTERS

Jasper Loo, who was playing well off the
line, came flying over and made a head-long
dive to snatch the ball inches off the
ground.
In the fifth, Woodring helped his own
cause. After walking back-to-back batters to
open the inning, the third batter was look-
ing to put down a sacrifice bunt. He popped
the ball into the air and Woodring bounced
off the mound to catch it. He then threw to
first to double up the runner. A flyout to
right ended the threat.
Terra Nova starter Jeremy Keller, howev-
er, was nearly as effective as Woodring, but
the Scots put him in a hole right away by
scoring three runs in the top of the first.
to go up 7-0.
Gentile would score Terra Nova’s first run
on an error and Keller drove in the Tigers’
second run with their second hit.
Up next for the Scots is the CCS playoffs
and, unlike previous years, the Bay champi-
on is not automatically slotted into the
Open Division. Vallero said it is his under-
standing that the various league representa-
tives, including himself, will get together
before the CCS selection meeting Saturday
to seed the top eight teams into the Open
Division.
“An ‘A’ team is not automatically going
into the Open. This is what I understand,”
Vallero said.

Some councilmembers, including
Deborah Penrose, were unconvinced safe-
guards would be sufficient in preventing the
misuse of data.
“I don’t trust the government period,” she
said. “I do not trust technology’s ability to
protect itself and I believe hacking is as
easily as it comes and I believe systems like
this once in place are very difficult to get rid
of.”
Some councilmembers were still open to
the proposal when they discussed it at a
meeting May 7 and all of them ultimately
agreed to gauge public opinion before mak-
ing a decision. Residents will be able to
weigh in on the proposed technology at a
special meeting to be scheduled in June or
July.
Automated license plate reading technol-
ogy is a camera system designed to read the
plate numbers of passing cars with the use
of optical character recognition. After a
plate number is captured, the system runs
that number through a database to see if it
belongs to a vehicle associated with crimi-
nal activity. The technology can also assist
with missing persons cases.
“We at the Sheriff’s Office believe this
tool is very effective in not only criminal
investigations, but also in identifying
missing persons and locating people at
LOCAL
risk, such as in Amber Alert situations,”
said Capt. Saul Lopez of the San Mateo
County Sheriff’s Office. 
The technology is most commonly seen
at bridge crossings and is being used by an
estimated 1,200 law enforcement agencies
across the country, including Daly City,
Redwood City, San Mateo and San Carlos,
among other local cities, according to a
staff report. The company Half Moon Bay is
considering contracting with is called
Vigilant Solutions and if the technology
were to be approved, then ALPRs would be
installed at three locations in the city: the
most eastern, most northern and most
southern city limit points along Highway 1
and State Route 92.  logs that looks at an individual’s reason for
Lopez stressed that data collected through
ALPRs would not be shared with immigra-
tion agencies, including Immigration and
Customs Enforcement and the Department
of Homeland Security. And while the cam-
eras do capture more than just the license
plate, the resolution is not high enough for
it to be used for facial recognition purposes,
said Mike Sena, executive director of the
Northern California High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area.
ALPRs can immediately alert law enforce-
ment if it reads the plate of a stolen car, for
example, and data can either be immediately
discarded or stored for a period of time,
depending on a given community’s prefer-
ence. Sena recommended storing license
plate data for one year as a resource for
investigators, adding that the technology
can be used to locate vehicles even if just
three characters of a license plate are
known.
“The communities that have used it effec-
tively have seen large decreases in burgla-
ries and other property crimes because crim-
inals start talking to each other and say
‘I’ve been caught in this community
because of the technology so don’t go
there,’” Sena said.  Sena said the ACLU has been largely

ed to remove them, but Penrose still felt the

“I also don’t think Half Moon Bay is a
city with a high enough crime rate to justify
the perception that it’s possible that ICE

said. “We have a large population that has

departure from her colleagues, felt ALPRs
could be a positive.
“Given that there are license plate readers
in numerous other places — our bridges and
probably our airports, our communities sur-
rounding us — I’m sure our license plates
are already captured and scanned someplace,
whether you’re a citizen or undocumented,
that information is already stored some-
place so I don’t believe you can escape
that,” she said.
Ruddock suggested thieves from outside
of the community often escape after break-

“Given who we are and what happens here
it’s probably a worthy investment and I’m
willing to pursue it further, in terms of get-

public,” she said. “I don’t want to write it
off this evening. I think it’s a worthy idea
and as much as I don’t like it I think it would

Berkeley Rep stages fascinating ‘The Good Book’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
“The Good Book” examines the Bible
from two characters’ opposite perspectives
while taking them through difficult jour-
neys of belief.
Berkeley Repertory Theatre is staging the
West Coast premiere of this fascinating
drama by Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson.
One character is Miriam (Annette
O’Toole), an atheist and biblical scholar.
She calls the Bible “the most powerful and
dangerous book in America today.”
To her it isn’t the word of God but a col-
lection of stories created by many people,
handed down through the ages and translat-
ed from many languages.
The other is Connor (Keith Nobbs), a
Catholic who calls himself a Biblehead and
who wants to become a priest, at least when
he’s a young boy.
He first is seen as an 8-year-old who com-
mits his innermost thoughts to his new tape
recorder. As he enters his teens and 20s,
however, he struggles with his faith and his
sexual identity.
Miriam must confront some of her ideas
when a young journalist, played by
Shannon Tyo, wants to write a New Yorker
article about her. Going through Miriam’s
files, the writer finds her girlhood diary and
asks about her mother, who died when

Book.’
Miriam was about 9.
Miriam also must deal with her longtime
lover, played by Elijah Alexander, a Middle
Easterner whom she seldom sees because
he’s an archeologist who goes on months-
long digs overseas.
During Act 1, Alexander, Tyo, Lance
Gardner, Denmo Ibrahim and Wayne Wilcox
appear as a variety of characters like
Miriam’s college students, Connor’s family
THE DAILY JOURNAL
and friends, and both known and unknown
historical figures.
As the act ends, Miriam has been in a seri-
ous car accident and Connor is ready to
shoot himself.
Act 2 finds Connor about to be released
from a mental hospital and Miriam in an
unconscious state that takes her to impor-
tant places in her life.
Eventually the two meet, and their fates
become known.
This is an epic play that goes far deeper
than the principal plot. It’s informative for
those who don’t know much about the ori-
gins of the Bible and it’s absorbing as
Connor and Miriam go through their lives.
It’s also entertaining because of its many
other characters.
Finally, it’s an impressive display of vir-
tuoso acting by everyone, especially
O’Toole as Miriam and Nobbs as Connor,
thanks to their talent and to astute direction
by co-author Peterson.
The action takes place on a sparsely fur-
nished stage with just a few folding metal
chairs and tables.
Although the play is long, about two
hours and 40 minutes with one intermis-
sion, it seems to go by quickly.
“The Good Book” will continue through
June 9 in Berkeley Rep’s Peet’s Theatre,
2025 Addison St., Berkeley. For tickets and
information call (510) 647-2949 or visit

IT’S HARD BEING THE ODD MAN

OUT: TWENTY- S OMETHING LIFE
EXAMINED IN “S IGNIFICANT
OTHER, ” AT SAN FRANCISCO PLAY-
HOUSE. Single gay man Jordan Berman is
blessed with three close friends, all single
women. But as each one finds a “significant
other,” and their lives become a round of
engagement parties, bridal showers and
weddings, Jordan finds himself becoming
the odd man out. The highs and lows of
twenty-something urban life are celebrated
in “Significant Other,” and the audience is
drawn in as Jordan looks for his own “Mr.
Right” in a world of wrongs. Humorous,
heart-rending and hopeful. Written by
Joshua Harmon. Directed by Lauren
English. Two hours with one intermission.
Through June 15.
AN ASIDE: San Francisco Playhouse
Artistic Director Bill English said: “People
are marrying later and later, if they marry at
all. Consequently, folks in their 20s are
much more dependent on close friends for
intimacy and these friendships last longer
and become more essential only to be
dashed by the inevitable “wedding bells”
that make them inappropriate or untenable.
The pain of these breakups can be very
intense. When such loves are between a
woman and her gay male friend, the end can
be particularly crushing. Making such part-
ings worse, our pop culture has perpetuated
the unfortunate cliché of the “gay best
friend,” a supporting character who can eas-
ily feel trapped on the sidelines of his own
life. In ‘Significant Other,’ (Playwright
Joshua) Harmon brilliantly upends the
cliché, taking us into the heart of the sup-
porting roles often played by gay characters
in the typical rom-com, giving Jordan
Berman center stage and giving his story
authenticity.”

O’Brien settles joke-theft lawsuit weeks before trial

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Conan O’Brien has made
peace with a man who heckled him not from
the crowd but the courts.
O’Brien and several co-defendants,
including his writing staff, agreed Thursday
to settle a 2015 lawsuit with California
writer Robert Kaseberg, who alleged the
talk-show host stole five jokes from his
Twitter feed and blog for O’Brien’s mono-
logues on his TBS show, “Conan.”
Attorneys for both sides filed documents
in San Diego federal court announcing a deal
had been reached about three weeks before a
trial that would have seen O’Brien, his side-
kick Andy Richter and other famous names
called to the stand. Terms of the deal were
not disclosed.
The joke-theft case was rare from the
start, and O’Brien also gave it an unusual
ending, explaining why he settled at length
in a column in Variety rather than opting for
the confidentiality common in Hollywood
lawsuits.
O’Brien insists that he and his staff had
never heard of Kaseberg, his blog or his
Twitter account before the lawsuit, and did
not steal any jokes. But he did not want “a
farcical and expensive jury trial in federal
court over five jokes that don’t even make
sense anymore.”
“Short of murder, stealing material is the
worst thing any comic can be accused of,”
O’Brien writes. “Had I, for one second,
Conan O’Brien has agreed to settle a lawsuit with a writer who says the talk-show host stole
jokes from his Twitter feed and blog for O’Brien’s monologue on ‘Conan.’
thought that any of my writers took materi-
al from someone else I would have fired that
writer immediately, personally apologized,
and made financial reparations.”
Kaseberg released a statement saying he
was happy with the friendly resolution.
“As a professional comedy writer, all I
want to do is make people laugh and stand
up for the things I believe in,” Kaseberg
said. “I am proud my case helped shed light
on an issue facing all comedy writers and am
happy to have been part of contributing
legal precedent on the issue of protection
afforded to jokes.”
One of Kaseberg’s jokes that closely
resembled O’Brien’s was about 2015 Super
Bowl MVP Tom Brady giving the truck that
goes with the title to Seahawks Coach Pete
Carroll, whose coaching decisions many
believe are the biggest reason Brady’s New
England Patriots won.
“Trust me, Pete Carroll gags were hilari-
ous back in 2015,” O’Brien writes.
O’Brien said the similarity of this and the
other lines in the lawsuit is simply the
result of the same comedians landing on the
same newsy joke, a phenomenon that has
exploded with social media.
“At the same time,” O’Brien writes, “that
joke was being written by literally 34 other
people on Twitter, and one of those people
decided he had been robbed.”
O’Brien writes that he most wants to
stand up for the integrity of his “remarkably
hard-working and decent” team of writers.
“As I wrote several years ago,” O’Brien
concludes, “ ‘No legacy is so rich as hon-
esty.’ Of course, William Shakespeare is
now claiming he tweeted that in 1603.”
But, O’Brien writes, Shakespeare “can
talk to my lawyers.”

driven comedies.”
Hathaway agreed, saying the entire culture
of a film is more important than just casting
actresses in starring roles.
“It’s not enough to just put two women in
the in the lead of the film. Then the culture
you can’t be funny in that way,”’ Hathaway
said. “Even though there was a norm estab-
lished ... in the world saying when men say
these sort of things it’s appropriate for
teenagers. But when women say these sort
of things, no that’s unexpected that’s too,
that’s too new. That’s too different.”
Wilson said the film is more than just a
gender-flipped remake of the 1988 comedy
starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin. It
gave her and Hathaway a chance to tackle
“The idea just seems really justified right
now ... with the Me Too movement. This
wasn’t just a case of, ‘Oh let’s just gender
flip ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,”’ Wilson
said. “This was a case of, well oh yeah, it
really does make sense that now women can
get back at dirty rotten men who have been
conning them for years.”
Despite tackling systemic issues women
face, both Hathaway and Wilson say “The
Hustle” remains a broad comedy.

thing out there that you can just laugh,”
Hathaway said. “Grab your favorite people
and go and just get that warm feel good feel-
ing.”
“Sometimes ... movies have more serious
messages and this definitely has a few sub-
tle, you know, female empowerment mes-
sages, but not so subtle, I guess.”
“But it’s all within like the world of fun,”
Hathaway added.

anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak publicly on the
matter, confirmed that the talks had
concluded for the day but could not say
when they would resume.
Hours earlier, the Trump administra-
tion hiked tariffs on $200 billion
worth of Chinese imports to 25% from
10%, escalating tensions between
Beijing and Washington. China’s
Commerce Ministry vowed to impose
“necessary countermeasures” but gave
no details.
The tariff increase went ahead even
after American and Chinese negotia-
tors briefly met in Washington on
Thursday and again on Friday, seeking
to end a dispute that has disrupted bil-
lions of dollars in trade and shaken
global financial markets. After a short
session on Friday, the lead Chinese
negotiator, Vice Premier Liu He, left
the Office of the U. S. Trade
Representative about midday. U. S.
Trade Representative Robert
Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin shook hands with Liu
as he left.
In the afternoon, a motorcade of
sport-utility vehicles and a police
escort, both with lights flashing, car-
ried the Chinese delegation away from
their lodgings at the Willard hotel and
out of town.
Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the
Chinese newspaper Global Times, cit-
ing “an authoritative source,” tweeted
that “talks didn’t break down. Both
sides think that the talks are construc-
tive and will continue consultations.
The two sides agree to meet again in
Beijing in the future.”
On Wall Street, stocks fell initially
Friday but turned positive on opti-
mism over future talks.
Earlier, Trump asserted in a tweet
that his tariffs “will bring in FAR
MORE wealth to our Country than
even a phenomenal deal of the tradi-
tional kind. Also, much easier & quick-
er to do.”
In fact, tariffs are taxes paid by U.S.
importers and often passed along to
consumers and companies that rely on
imported components.
backtracking on commitments made in
earlier rounds of negotiations. “China
deeply regrets that it will have to take
necessary countermeasures, ” a seen an increased sensitivity to U.S.
Commerce Ministry statement said.
U.S. business groups appealed for a
settlement that will resolve chronic
complaints about Chinese market bar-
riers, subsidies to state companies and
a regulatory system they say is rigged
against foreign companies.
The latest increase extends 25%
duties to a total of $250 billion of
Chinese imports, including $50 bil-
lion worth that were already being
taxed at 25%. Trump has said he is
planning to expand penalties to all
Chinese goods shipped to the United
States.
Beijing retaliated for previous tariff
hikes by raising duties on $110 bil-
lion of American imports. But regula-
tors are running out of U.S. goods for
penalties due to the lopsided trade bal-
ance.
Ford spokeswoman Rachel
McCleery said the carmaker is most
concerned about any retaliatory tariffs
China might impose.
The Dearborn, Michigan-based com-
pany says 80% of the vehicles it
assembles in the U.S. are sold domes-
tically, but it does export some vehi-
cles to China.
“While most of the vehicles we sell
in China are built in China, Ford does
export a number of vehicles to China
from the U.S.,” McCleery said. “Our
biggest concerns are impacts retaliato-
ry tariffs would have on our exports
and our expanding customer base in
China.”
Chinese officials have targeted oper-
ations of American companies in
China by slowing customs clearance
for them and stepping up regulatory
scrutiny that can hamper operations.
The latest U.S. increase might hit
American consumers harder, said Jake
Parker, vice president of the U.S.-
China Business Council, an industry
group. He said the earlier 10% increase
was absorbed by companies and offset
by a weakening of the Chinese curren-
cy’s exchange rate.
A 25% hike “needs to be passed on to
the consumer,” Parker said. “It is just
too big to dilute with those other fac-
tors.”
Despite the public acrimony, local

American investment have tried to
reassure companies there is “minimal
retaliation,” he said. “We’ve actually
companies at the local level, ” he
added.
The higher U.S. import taxes don’t
apply to Chinese goods shipped
before Friday. Shipments take about
three weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean
by sea, giving negotiators more time
to reach a settlement before importers
may have to pay the increased charges.
Liu, speaking to Chinese state TV
upon his arrival Thursday in
Washington, said he “came with sin-
cerity.” He appealed to Washington to
avoid more tariff hikes, saying they
are “not a solution” and would harm the
world.
“We should not hurt innocent peo-
ple,” Liu told CCTV.
Also Thursday, Trump said he
received “a beautiful letter” from
Chinese President Xi Jinping and
would “probably speak to him by
phone.”
The two countries are sparring over
U.S. allegations Beijing steals tech-
nology and pressures companies to
hand over trade secrets in a campaign
to turn Chinese companies into world
leaders in robotics, electric cars and
other advanced industries.
This week’s setback was unexpected.
Through late last week, Trump admin-
istration officials were suggesting that
negotiators were making steady
progress.
U. S. officials say they got an
inkling of China’s second thoughts
about prior commitments in talks last
week in Beijing but the backsliding
became more apparent in exchanges
over the weekend. They wouldn’t iden-
tify the specific issues involved.
A sticking point is U.S. insistence
on an enforcement mechanism with
penalties to ensure Beijing lives up to
its commitments. American officials
say China has repeatedly broken past
promises.
China wants tariffs lifted as soon as
an agreement is reached, while U.S.
officials want to keep them as leverage
to ensure compliance.
“A real enforcement mechanism is
critical,” the American Chamber of
Commerce in Shanghai said in a state-
ment.

TAX
Continued from page 1
cilman. “I’m pretty concerned that the num-
bers are softer than I’d like them to be and I
think we have our work cut out for us.”
One of the numbers Stone may have had
in mind is the percentage of likely voters
who would support the Caltrain sales tax
after receiving additional information
about it. Without information, 63% of like-
ly voters support the tax and, with informa-
tion, that number jumps up to 66% or 67%.
Board Member Dave Pine found that num-
ber discouraging and noted that while ini-
tial polling for Measure W was on par with
a Caltrain sales tax, the former became
more popular after additional information
was provided to likely voters. Measure W is
a half-cent sales tax increase for transporta-
tion that San Mateo County voters
approved in November.
“Our initial poll [for Measure W] showed
similar support, but we also saw more of an
upside after people hear positives so it’s a
LOCAL
little discouraging that we only get to 67%
after positives,” he said. “That fact plus the
tremendous importance of Santa Clara and
their low approval illustrates the fact that
we need a very robust campaign to get this
over the finish line.”
According to the polls, 61% of Santa
Clara County voters support the tax and
that county represents 49% of the voter
population. San Francisco voters are 28%
of the voter population and 67% of them
support the measure while San Mateo
County voters comprise 23% of the voter
population and 68% of them support it.
The tax is also vulnerable to opposition,
according to the polling. After hearing the
following opposition argument, voter sup-
port shrank to 55%: “Some people say that
we just can’t afford another tax in this area
when so many families are already strug-
gling to stay in their homes. The new gas
tax and bridge tolls are already supposed to
be going towards transit, but there’s just no
way public transit improvements are going
to significantly relieve the terrible traffic
on our clogged freeways or roads.”
Stone felt that there may not be enough
time for an effective outreach campaign if
the measure were to be placed on the ballot
in March 2020 rather than in November of
that year.
“If we do March, we have the challenge of
a lack of time for education. … Whoever
would do the outreach work has an enor-
mous lift to move the needle to the point
where I’m comfortable putting it on the
ballot in March,” he said, adding that the
private sector may handle outreach efforts.
Despite the board’s concerns, a represen-
tative from EMC research, which conducted
the polling,
still recom-
Weekend • May 11-12, 2019 31
mended proceeding with the measure. 
“There is a situation in which I’d say
don’t go to the ballot and I don’t believe
this is that situation. You’re really within
the margin of error at that two-thirds
level,” said Sara LaBatt, principal at EMC.
“We think this is possible. We think it’s
going to take work, it’s going to take com-
mitment, but we think moving forward with
some version of a revenue measure for
Caltrain to relieve traffic along the
Peninsula is something people in this area
are very interested in.”
Board members also heard support for the
measure during the public comment portion
of the meeting.
“I’ve been saying Caltrain needs dedicat-
ed funding for 20 years,” said resident Jeff
Carter. “People don’t know that Caltrain is
in peril and could lead to service cuts or fare
hikes.”
Caltrain is also expecting ridership
demand to increase by 300% over the next
20 years and a dedicated funding source
would be needed to meet that demand. 
Caltrain is currently funded largely by
fare box revenue and by annual contribu-
tions from the three counties it serves.
Sales tax revenue would supplement that
money if the measure passes.
