Study shows California gun deaths
declined between 2000 and 2015
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Gun deaths have
fallen in California over a 16-year period
ending in 2015, driven largely by a decline
in gang violence and falling homicide
rates among black and Hispanic male vic-
tims, a recent study of firearm violence has
found.
Researchers at the University of
California, Davis published their findings
in the May issue of the journal Annals of
Epidemiology after reviewing 50, 921
firearm deaths recorded in California
between 2000 and 2015. The University
provided the study results on Monday.
The report found 24,922 firearm homi-
cides during that period and 23,682 sui-
cides by gun. Researchers say the number
of firearm homicides dropped from 4.19 per
100,000 people in 2000 to a low of 3.13
per 100,000 in 2014 before ticking up
slightly in 2015.
Researcher Veronica Pear attributed the
decline in gun homicides to a reduction of
gang violence, particularly in Los Angeles
County.
The study also showed a big drop in the
number of black men being killed by guns.
Pear said the number of gun homicides
involving black male victims dropped 32
percent from the peak in 2005 at 47 per
100, 000 people to 31 per 100, 000 in

2015. The homicide rate for Hispanic male
victims was 6.7 per 100,000 in 2015, a 38
percent decline from its peak of 10.8 per
100,000 in 2005.
The homicide rate of White and Asian
male victims held steady throughout the
period at roughly the same level of 3 homi-
cides per 100,000 annually.
Pear said she hopes the new research will
be used by others studying the cause and
effects of gun violence.
“We also hope it can serve as a template
for researchers in other states to create sim-
ilar profiles,” she said.
For the last 30 years, the federal govern-
ment has largely abandoned gun-violence
studies after the National Rifle Association
prevailed on Congress to significantly
restrict funding for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevent to do the research. The
NRA said it does not oppose gun research
but is against research that it calls biased,
flimsy or aimed at advocacy.
A few private foundations and California
have recently stepped up funding of gun
violence studies. California became the
first state to publicly support the research
when lawmakers voted to fund U.C. Davis’
Violence Prevention Research Program
with $5 million over five years.

Redwood City approves traffic calming improvements
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A series of traffic calming improvements
on Hopkins Avenue between Alameda de las
Pulgas and El Camino Real in Redwood City
will proceed to the design phase, though
many residents are concerned about the
impacts and cost of one feature in particular:
median islands.
The City Council voted unanimously at a
Monday meeting to develop a construction-
level design for the project, which would
return to the council for approval before it
breaks ground. The project is a response to
safety concerns expressed by numerous res-
idents in an area home to several schools.
“We have more drivers, we have more peo-
ple coming into our community, we have
more children living in our community —
especially around that area — we have a
very active park in that area and we have
some difficult ways of getting across that
street at times, ” Councilwoman Janet
Borgens said. “People don’t stop for pedes-
trians crossing the street, it’s not safe, you
take your life in your hands when you do
that.”
In addition to medians, the project entails
raised corner islands, additional signs, bul-
bouts and curb extensions, raised cross-
walks, flashing pedestrian warning signs,
and it may also convert the Hopkins-
Alameda connector to a one-way street
going toward Alameda de las Pulgas, accord-
ing to a staff report.
While councilmembers are on board with
the project’s conceptual design, they also
expressed interest in piloting the medians
California Democrats vying for U.S. House may crowd each other out
By Kathleen Ronyane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Fresh-faced Democrats
are packing U.S. House races nationwide,
inspired to run in the Trump era with hopes
of seizing long-held Republican seats in a
much-anticipated “blue wave.”
But in California, Democrats will find out
in June if all that enthusiasm has a down-
side.
With an open primary that sends the two
highest vote-getters to the November gen-
eral election regardless of affiliation, party
leaders fret the crowded fields in several

before permanently installing them to
gather additional data and community feed-
back, though exactly what that pilot would
entail is yet to be determined.
Senior Transportation Coordinator
Jessica Manzi said a median pilot could be a
simple one-day affair, like an on-site com-
munity meeting in which cones would mark
the location of each median for residents to
assess block by block. Or a rigorous pilot
spanning months could be implemented to
gather more comprehensive traffic data. The
latter option would entail temporary medi-
ans with raised curbs rather than cones, and
would of course be the costlier and more
time-consuming option. Manzi estimated
the cost of that formal pilot in the $20,000
to $50,000 range.
The idea is to install about two concrete
medians per block along the Hopkins corri-
dor, some of which would provide refuge for
pedestrians crossing the street. The medi-
ans would reduce speeding by “visually nar-
rowing the roadway,” discourage illegal
passing and provide opportunities for street
trees, according to the report.
As for piloting medians, Councilman Jeff
Gee said the testing period should last much
longer than a day, and Mayor Ian Bain
called for additional median-focused com-
munity meetings to achieve greater consen-
races could splinter the vote enough to lock
Democrats out. That fear is most acute in
three Southern California districts that are
top party targets with multiple Republicans
and Democrats running.
Failing to field a candidate in a California
race could have national implications.
The party needs to flip at least 24
Republican seats, and the cluster of
California districts could prove a critical
piece of the puzzle.
The party’s national campaign arm joined
the fray last week, committing resources to
Navy veteran Gil Cisneros in the 39th
District, where Republican Rep. Ed Royce
— Councilwoman Janet Borgens
sus on the topic.
“I do believe that we need to pilot these
before they’re constructed, so as it currently
stands I believe that’s the intent of the
motion,” Bain said.
During the public comment period, a
roughly equal number of residents spoke in
support of and against the project.
Stafford Park resident Meredith Park said
medians are not worth the cost, and would
prevent emergency vehicles from passing
cars in dire situations, and they’ll cause
drivers to veer into bike lanes in an attempt
to see traffic ahead, creating unsafe condi-
tions for bicyclists. She also said medians
may block large vehicles from backing out
of driveways.
The “planning-level” cost estimate for
the project totals $1.25 million, according
to a staff report, but Manzi said in an email
that medians are one of the lower cost com-
ponents of the project because they don’t
impact drainage or grading of the street.
“Medians are also one of the most effec-
tive safety measures that can be added to a
roadway because they create a physical bar-
rier between opposing directions of travel,”
she added.
During the meeting, Fire Chief Stan
Maupin appeared confident that medians
wouldn’t affect emergency response times,
is retiring. By putting Cisneros on the “Red
to Blue” list, the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee is signaling to
donors that he is the most viable candidate
among the six Democrats seeking the seat
against seven Republicans.
Meanwhile, incumbent Republican Rep.
Dana Rohrabacher, faces four party chal-
lengers and six Democrats in the 48th
District. Four Democrats and eight
Republicans are running to replace
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, who is retir-

adding that his department always coordi-
nates with city engineers before street
improvements are constructed.
Other speakers concerned about the proj-
ect offered alternative solutions to ensure
traffic safety: A larger police presence along
the corridor was mentioned several times.
But City Manager Melissa Stevenson
Diaz clarified that projects like this rely on
dedicated funding sources that cannot be
used for operating needs, including police,
fire and library hours, for example.
And Police Chief Dan Mulholland empha-
sized that traffic calming improvements are
permanent, while the limited number of
officers that could be assigned to those
areas is not.
“A traffic calming measure is going to be
there 24/7, 365 days a year rain or shine,”
he said.
Councilman John Seybert added that the
cost of traffic calming “pales in compari-
son” to that of enforcement.
Other proposed improvements include a
controversial stop sign at the intersection
of Hopkins Avenue and King Street, but the
council decided to leave that out of the proj-
ect, at least for now.
And buffered bike lanes were considered as
an alternative to medians, but Manzi said
medians were seen as the best option for
pedestrian safety, and there was concern
about the aesthetics of buffered bike lanes.
There is also a possibility that further
street improvements be made to the Dingy
Circle area, for which a conceptual design
has been prepared. But the council decided
that project — estimated to cost an addi-
tional $700,000 — be considered separate-

Consumer watchdog becomes alphabet soup of controversy

By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is dead. Long live the
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
That’s the message the Trump administra-
tion is pushing, at least, in what on the sur-
face seems like a minor tweak to the name
of the federal consumer watchdog agency
created after the Great Recession to protect
consumers against banks, credit card com-
panies, debt collectors and other financial
companies.
But critics see it as a not-so-subtle effort
to telegraph the abrupt ideological turn the
bureau has taken since Trump-appointee
Mick Mulvaney became acting director last
year. Under Mulvaney, the bureau has pro-
posed revisiting or rolling back the rules,
regulations and policies that the Obama
administration put into place when it con-
trolled the agency. The bureau has dramati-
cally cut back on enforcement actions as
well.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a “Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection” in 2010.
But, except for the occasional court filing,
the bureau was consistently referred to as
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,
or CFPB.
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney testifies before the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government on Capitol Hill.
Mulvaney took over the bureau as act-

Bureau of Co n s umer Fi n an ci al

Protection, or by the acronym BCFP.
During testimony last week on Capitol
Hill, Mulvaney said, “The Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau does not
exist.”
But swapping “Bureau” from back to
front is not a simple word shuffle, said Lisa
Donner, executive director for the advocacy
group Americans for Financial Reform.
“Doing that signals you want to take the
emphasis away from serving consumers —
which unfortunately is what Mulvaney’s
been doing in many ways — and put it on
‘this is a bureaucracy’,” Donner said.
Republican lawmakers, who have long
had issues with the bureau, have been
happy to go along with the name change.
Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the House
Financial Services Committee, said in a
statement “I commend Acting Director
Mulvaney’s efforts to follow the law as
written.”
“I’ve looked at the statute, and I don’t see
‘CFPB’ in the statute anywhere,” said Rep.
Barry Loudermilk, R-Georgia, at last
week’s hearing.
The bureau has quietly rolled out a new
logo as well. Since early in its existence,
the CFPB used a green, lowercase text logo
using the bureau’s initials. The new logo is
a more traditional government seal, with
an eagle in the middle, and the name Bureau
of Consumer Financial Protection on the
perimeter. The seal is similar to other seals
used by agencies overseeing the financial
industry, including the Federal Reserve and
Treasury Department.

Three arrested for carjacking
Two adults and a juvenile were arrested for
carjacking a San Mateo man at gunpoint
outside his home on the 2100 block of
Stratford Way Saturday night, according to
police.
The man called police at about 10 p.m.
and reported he was carjacked and robbed at
gunpoint 30 minutes earlier and that his
cellphone and Lexus were taken. Officers
located the car occupied by two people in
San Francisco. The driver was identified as
16 years old, and the passenger was identi-
fied as 18-year-old Quinn Dodds, of San
Carlos. San Mateo detectives assumed the
investigation and identified a third suspect
as 19-year-old Barry Vers, of South San
Francisco, who was later contacted at his
residence in South San Francisco and arrest-
ed. The two adults were transported and
booked into San Mateo County Jail. The
juvenile was transported and booked into
Hillcrest Juvenile Hall. The investigation
revealed the victim appeared to be targeted
and this was not a random act, according to
police.
Anyone with information regarding this
incident is asked to please contact
Detective Nick Morsilli at (650) 522-7670
or at nmorsilli@cityofsanmateo.org.
San Mateo hit with
rash of auto break-ins
San Mateo police are stepping up
enforcement after a total of 14 vehicles were
reported to be broken into overnight April
23.
Dispatch received multiple calls from res-
idents who found their vehicles burglarized.
A total of 14 vehicles had their windows
smashed and items such as electronics,
money and bags were stolen. The auto bur-
glaries occurred in the areas of Ottwa Street
and Trollman Avenue on the east side of San
Local briefs
Mateo, as well as the areas of Flores Street,
Ivy Street and Fourth Avenue on the west
side of San Mateo, according to police.
Police are urging the community to con-
tinue to protect themselves by not leaving
their valuables in their vehicles, even if the
vehicle is parked in the driveway. Call 911
if it is an in-progress event or (650) 522-
7700 if the information is delayed. Anyone
with information regarding these crimes is
encouraged to contact SMPD. Tips can be

Man arrested for auto
burglaries, one still at large
San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies
responding to a report of two men looking
into vehicles with flash-
lights on the 700 block
of Elm Street in San
Carlos early Monday
morning arrested one of
the men, with the other
still at large, according
to the Sheriff’s Office.
At approximately 2:30
Moses a.m., deputies responded
Ahomana to the location and spot-
ted two men emerging
from the backyard of a residence. One
deputy ordered the men to stop but they ran
back into the backyard. The deputy chased
them and caught one, Moses Ahomana, 18,
of East Palo Alto. He was in possession of a
burglary tool and stolen property, accord-
ing to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies searched the area for the second
suspect, but were unable to find him, accord-
ing to the Sheriff’s Office.
San Bruno man charged for 20 Oakland, water district fined
counts related to auto burglary spree for sewage spills into Bay
A San Bruno man was charged Monday
with 20 counts related to an auto burglary
spree between 2016 and 2017, San
Francisco prosecutors said.
Deshawn Patton, 21, was booked into
San Francisco County Jail on $625,000
bail.
He was charged with nine misdemeanors,
including two counts of receiving stolen
property, one count of possession of a bur-
glary tool, one count of unauthorized use of
radio communication, three counts of
resisting police officers, one count of theft
and one count of hit-and-run causing prop-
erty damage.
The alleged crimes happened between
April 12, 2016, and May 18, 2017, accord-
ing to the District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said six of eight victims were
from out of town and six of the eight victim
vehicles were rental cars. The victims were
visiting San Francisco from Los Angeles,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Rhode Island,
China and Germany.
Police said officers attempted to arrest
Patton on four separate occasions but
Patton fled each time by ramming a police
car, ramming a victim vehicle that he had
burglarized or running away.
“We’re working closely with the Police
Department to identify and disrupt the most
prolific auto burglary rings, ” District
Attorney George Gascon said.
Patton will be arraigned Tuesday morning
in San Francisco Superior Court.
As part of a crackdown on auto burglary
suspects, Gascon said his office is sponsor-
ing Senate Bill 916 to close legal loop-
holes for people who break into vehicles.
The office has also introduced a private
camera registry to get help from the public
after auto burglaries.
SAN FRANCISCO — The U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency says the
city of Oakland and a water district are being
fined $350, 000 for allegedly allowing
sewage water to flow into the San Francisco
Bay.
The EPA says in a statement Tuesday that
Oakland will have to pay more than
$220, 000 in fines for the violations
between September 2014 and June 2017.
The East Bay Municipal Utility District is
being fined $134,000.
The EPA says the penalties are also for
violating the terms of a 2014 agreement
that required them and other East Bay cities
to invest $1.5 billion over 21 years to
upgrade their aging sewer systems.
The EPA says that since 2014 about $80
million has been spent to rehabilitate 100
miles of sewer pipe in a 1,500-mile-long
sewer system.
250 people evacuated, two
injured due to apartment fire
CONCORD — Authorities say a major fire
ripped through an apartment building under
construction in Northern California, injur-
ing two people and forcing the evacuation
of 250 people from a neighboring building.
The blaze was under control Monday but
still burning five hours after it started in the
empty building in Concord, 30 miles east of
San Francisco.
Concord Fire Marshal Robert Marshall
says the building is considered a total loss
and that the damage is estimated at $55 mil-
lion.
He says an adjacent apartment building
was evacuated due to heavy smoke and that
two people were treated for smoke inhala-
tion and taken to the hospital.

French President Emmanuel Macron toasts Donald Trump during a State Dinner at the White House.
Trump backtracks on Syria
after talks with French leader
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — So much for an
abrupt U.S. pullout from Syria.
One month ago President Donald
Trump surprised many, including some
in his own administration, by
announcing, “We’ll be coming out of
Syria, like, very soon. Let the other
people take care of it now.” He insist-
ed that the time had come for the U.S.
military to shift its focus away from
Syria.
But on Tuesday, it was clear that
something or someone had changed
Trump’s mind.
The president said at a White House
news conference with French
President Emmanuel Macron at his
side that before the U.S. withdraws
from Syria, “we want to leave a strong
and lasting footprint.” This long-term
approach, he added, was “a very big
part” of his conversation with
Macron, who told reporters that he and
Trump now agree that the Syria prob-
lem involves more than Trump’s pri-
ority of ridding the country of Islamic
State extremists.
The two leaders indicated that they
see Syria as part of a broader problem
of instability in the Middle East,
which includes Iran’s role in Syria and
Iraq.
That kind of strategic thinking
bears little resemblance to Trump’s
words in late March when he said it
was time to leave Syria to others.
“We got to get back to our country,
NATION
REUTERS
where we belong, where we want to
be,” he said March 29. His comments
raised questions about U. S. inten-
tions, including its commitment to
the Syrian Kurds who have been the
main U.S. proxy in fighting IS in
Syria and who face an uncertain future.
Since then, Trump has taken a
markedly different course, including
bombing three suspected chemical
weapons sites in western Syria on
April 13. In announcing that action,
Trump said he was committed, along
with France and Britain, to using “all
instruments of our national power —
military, economic and diplomatic”
— to deter Syria from again using
chemical weapons. And he said the
U.S. would “sustain” this effort for as
long as it takes.

His nomination
in peril, Jackson
fights for VA post
By Hope Yen, Zeke Miller and Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — His nomination in peril, Veterans
Affairs nominee Ronny Jackson fought Tuesday to con-
vince lawmakers of his leadership abili-
ties as more details of accusations
against him emerged, ranging from
repeated drunkenness to a toxic work
environment as he served as a top White
House doctor.
President Donald Trump sent mixed
signals about his choice to lead the
sprawling veterans’ agency, suggesting
Ronny Jackson during a White House news conference
that Jackson may want to withdraw
because of unfair scrutiny. But the president privately urged
his nominee to keep fighting to win Senate confirmation,
and Jackson showed few signs of backing down.
A watchdog report requested in 2012 and reviewed by the
Associated Press found that Jackson and a rival physician
exhibited “unprofessional behaviors” as they engaged in a
power struggle over the White House medical unit. The six-
page report by the Navy’s Medical Inspector General found
a lack of trust in the leadership and low morale among staff
members, who described the working environment as
“being caught between parents going through a bitter
divorce.”
“There is a severe and pervasive lack of trust in the lead-
ership that has deteriorated to the point that staff walk on
‘eggshells,”’ the assessment found.
The inspector general report reviewed by The AP included
no references to improper prescribing of drugs or the use of
alcohol, separate allegations revealed by a Senate commit-
tee.
Jackson declined to answer reporters’ questions about
those allegations and gave no indication he would with-
draw. The White House disputed that he had improperly
administered medication, saying the medical unit passed
regular audits by the Controlled Substance Inventory Board.

Judge rules against ending
program to protect Dreamers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A federal judge
ruled Tuesday against the Trump
administration’s decision to end a
program protecting some young
immigrants from deportation,
calling the Department of
Homeland Security’s rationale
against the program “arbitrary and
capricious.”
U. S. District Judge John D.
Bates in Washington wrote that
the decision to rescind the
Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program, known as
DACA, “was unlawful and must be
set aside.”
Bates wrote that DHS’ decision
“was predicated primarily on its
legal judgment that the program
was unlawful. That legal judgment
was virtually unexplained, howev-
er, and so it cannot support the
agency’s decision.”

HOV lanes
Years ago the High Occupancy
Vehicle lanes were introduced in
California, with the idea that it
would help with traffic by getting
people out of their cars and sharing
rides with other people. We accepted
this change. Drive in the HOV lanes
now, and you will see just how little
this has helped.
Our highways, which we paid for
with our taxes, were changed with
little benefit and little input from
us. Now they want to give us a
chance to drive in these lanes with
less than two people in our cars for a
fee (“Managed lanes moves ahead”
in the April 20 edition of the Daily
Journal). They want us to pay for
something we already paid for. There
is no benefit to this other than to
bring in money to the state. This
does not lessen congestion on the
highways and it only benefits those
who can afford it.
It’s time the state solves our traf-
fic problems without benefiting
themselves. It’s also time that when
we say we do not want something
they listen and do what we ask.     folks that can’t afford to live locally

CTA propaganda
keeps rolling along
Editor,
On Monday, Leota McLean wrote
that “privately run” charter schools
are “draining our public school sys-
tem,” (“Charter schools” published
in the April 23 edition of the Daily
Journal). You can hear the same spu-
rious rhetoric in current radio ads
paid for by the California Teachers
Association. Malarkey. While there
are nearly 1,200 charter schools in
California, only a half dozen are pri-
vately operated as Limited Liability
Companies. Additionally, the CTA
would have you believe charter
schools are siphoning off financial
resources intended for neighborhood
schools. Untrue. The CTA is well
aware that charter schools are not
funded out of local school districts’
budgets.
Although California teachers are
among the highest paid in the coun-
try, California public schools rank
somewhere in the middle of the pack
nationally. Charter schools were
created, in part, to offer alternatives
to traditional public education. To
obtain a state charter, a charter
school application must include an

meet the goals of that plan, its char-
ter may be revoked. So, why is false
hysteria being whipped up by the
CTA? Charter schools create compe-
tition, and the CTA does not like
competition. It also doesn’t like
losing membership, and not all
charter school teachers are required
to join the CTA. Remember, the CTA
has no money of its own; it must use
part of the monthly dues confiscated
from its 325,000 members to pay
for false and misleading radio ads in
an effort to eliminate the competi-

Toll lanes
Editor,
What a great idea of the
City/County Association of
Governments to make people pay
for the privilege of getting to their
jobs in toll lanes. Lower income
will be paying recently increased
tolls on the bridge, and when they
get to San Mateo County, they can
pay a toll on top of that. Or they can
stay in the regular commute lanes
for the unwashed masses while the
BMWs whizz by in the toll lanes.
Heck, you know what tech jobs
pay — they can afford it. If you are a
janitor, or, considering their pay, a
teacher, then you are out of luck.
And speaking of teachers, you
should have taken a job based more
on salary than the idealism in the
crucial job of educating the next
generation. You wouldn’t have to
whine about your meager salary fur-
ther reduced by toll lanes while
teaching the kids of techies smart
enough to get into tech instead

Commitment
to the community
Editor,
Local government thrives on com-

that an individual dedicates and
donates years of their time to serve
the public. That is why I commend
San Mateo resident Charlie

ment to his community.

OPINION
Although he recently resigned
from the Planning Commission, I
thank him for his years of service to
our community. Charlie has been
engaged in the community in a vari-
ety of forms including volunteer
positions with the Elks Lodge, the
Shriners Patrol Unit of the nonprof-
it’s children’s hospital and AYSO, as
well as local PTA and Neighborhood
Watch groups. He was a founding
member of the North Shoreview
Neighborhood Association and
many more too numerous to men-
tion.
With the city of San Mateo, he
served six years on the Community
Relations/Community Improvement
Commission, five years on the
Public Works Commission, over
four years on the Planning
Commission, and two years on the
Civic Arts Committee.
Through all of this his family has
supported him in the pursuit of a
better San Mateo. My hat is off to
Charlie and the Drechsler family.
San Mateo is a better place to live,
work and play because of their many
selfless efforts.
While Charlie has decided to step
down, I hope his years of service
inspire others to engage in local
government.

A pro-Trump perspective
Editor,
Poor Michael Oberg. I wonder if
this Trump hater is even remotely
aware of the fact that people like
him will guarantee that Trump will
secure a second term.
Jerry Brown, Hillary Clinton,
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and
locals like Oberg make Trump a lead
pipe cinch in 2020. We deplorables
love you guys.
By the way, The Boston Herald
column (“The return of ‘Roseanne’”
in the April 6 edition of the Daily
Journal) was great to read. To be
honest, I did not think I would live
to see the day that the Daily Journal
published a pro-Trump opinion
piece. Thanks to the editor for hav-
ing a backbone.

Honoring Earth Day
I
n 2011, Susan Freinkel wrote in her award-winning
book, “Plastic —  a toxic love story”: “A century
into mankind’s love affair with plastic, we’re start-
ing to recognize that it is not a healthy relationship.
Sure, plastics have been a good provider, but that benefi-
cence comes with many costs that we never considered in
our initial infatuation.” 
There was an article in the March 23 San Francisco
Chronicle about the “alarming study” of the plastic patch
in the Pacific Ocean. Turns out it is much bigger than pre-
viously thought. It was reported that the patch weighs as
much as 500 jumbo jets, it’s nearly the size of four
Californias, would supply 243 pieces of trash for every
person on the planet and “90 percent of seabirds have
plastic in their guts.”
After I read that, I could-
n’t imagine that anyone
would believe that there is
no threat to our environ-
ment and increase in global
warming as a result of how
we have chosen to trash our
eco-system. This is an
insidious environmental
problem that has much
potential for causing
tremendous suffering in the
future by not only threaten-
ing our health, but the
health of the planet. As
Wendell Berry once wrote: “To cherish what remains of
the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate
hope for survival.”
This is just one aspect of the way we are destroying our
ecosystem as many of us continue to be blithely oblivi-
ous to the potential disaster that can result. If reports like
this one don’t convince anyone that we are increasing the
destruction of the environment, what will? We are bring-
ing this disaster upon ourselves and our progeny because
we are unwilling to take seriously even the more direct
effects of our actions on the air, earth and water.
Whatever the predictable environmental crisis, the mes-
sage is clear. Nature will have her way with us and, as we
are part of nature, it is very important that we respect her
by listening to what she is telling us and build a system
of values that will become the foundation of a respect for
all things natural. But another kind of environmental cri-
sis — the pollution of the mind — often prevents this.
“In our civilization, we have modified our environment
to such an extent during this cultural evolution that we
have lost touch with our biological and ecological base
more than any other culture and any other civilization in
the past. This separation manifests itself in a striking dis-
parity between the development of intellectual power, sci-
entific knowledge and technological skills on the one
hand, and of wisdom, spirituality and ethics on the other.”
— Fritjof Capra, “The Turning Point.”
For the revolution of the heart necessary to build a new
system of values, we need time for contemplation and edu-
cation. People who are frantically pursuing the contempo-
rary American dream often don’t take time to give much
thought to environmental problems, much less do any-
thing to alleviate them. But for any worthwhile progress
to be made in saving Mother Earth, we have to keep in
mind that our general lack of respect for our environment
is a systematic disease that has infected all of us to one
degree or another and must be cured.
We must work at getting to the core of the abscess —
the government policies, political manipulations and cor-
porate practices that are allowing the devastating pollu-
tion of the very air, earth and water that we depend upon
for life. But too many Americans seem to be in a robotic
state, like a bunch of addicts — some still in denial, some
painfully aware of their destructive habits, but tied to an
addictive system that supports their habit and, as a result,
have no clue as to how to change.
We can begin to help protect our environment by using
as few chemicals for personal care, in the home or in the
garden as possible. We can rid our kitchens of plastic —
especially those that come in contact with food. If we do
this and also purchase as few products as possible that are
wrapped or preserved in plastic, we would not only be
contributing fewer non-biodegradable disposables to the
landfill and to congregate in the ocean, we would be pro-
tecting our health by avoiding chemicals such as BPA and
phthalates. 
There will be no great inroads into the environmental
dilemma until a great many more of us learn how to live
lightly on the earth. We must commemorate Earth Day
every day.

Industrial, tech stocks sends Dow down 400

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After a strong
start, U.S. stocks abruptly sold off
Tuesday after machinery maker
Caterpillar said it doesn’t expect
to top its first-quarter profit for
the rest of the year. The Dow Jones
industrial average plunged as
much as 619 points as investors
feared that rising oil prices and
other costs will slow down growth
in company profits.
Stocks climbed in early trading
as companies like Caterpillar,
appliance maker Whirlpool, and
Fifth Third Bancorp posted strong
quarterly results. Then Caterpillar
executives told analysts on a con-
ference call in the late morning
that they don’t expect the compa-
ny to report a larger per-share
profit for the rest of 2018. Other
industrial, technology and basic
materials companies also took
sharp losses.
The S&P 500 index sank 35.73
points, or 1. 3 percent, to
2,634.56. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average finished with a loss
of 424.56 points, or 1.7 percent,
to 24,024.13. The Nasdaq com-
posite dropped 121.25 points, or
1.7 percent, to 7,007.35.
Small-company stocks held up
better than the rest of the market.
The Russell 2000 index declined
8.84 points, or 0.6 percent, to
1,553.28, about half as much as
the S&P 500, which tracks large
U.S. companies.
Caterpillar’s products are used in
a wide variety of industries includ-
ing construction, power genera-
tion, mining and oil and gas
drilling. Meanwhile 3M, which

Ex-Yahoo paying $35M to settle

SEC charges over 2014 hack
By Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The company formerly
known as Yahoo is paying a $35 million
fine to resolve federal regulators’ charges
that the online pioneer deceived investors
by failing to disclose one of the biggest
data breaches in internet history.
The Securities and Exchange Commission
announced the action Tuesday against the
company, which is now called Altaba after
its email and other digital services were sold
to Verizon Communications for $4.48 bil-
lion last year.
Yahoo, which is no longer publicly trad-
ed, neither admitted nor denied the allega-
tions but did agree to refrain from further
violations of securities laws.

Cambridge Analytica fights back on data scandal
By Dabuxa Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Cambridge Analytica
unleashed its counterattack against claims
that it misused data from millions of
Facebook accounts, saying Tuesday it is the
victim of misunderstandings and inaccurate
reporting that portrays the company as the
evil villain in a James Bond movie.
Clarence Mitchell, a high-profile publi-
cist recently hired to represent the company,
held Cambridge Analytica’s first news con-
ference since allegations surfaced that the
millions of Yahoo users in the December
2014 breach attributed to Russian hackers.
The SEC alleged that, although Yahoo sen-
ior managers and attorneys were told about
the breach, the company failed to fully
investigate. The breach wasn’t disclosed to
the investing public until more than two
years later, when Yahoo was working on
closing Verizon’s acquisition of its operat-
ing business in 2016, the SEC said.
“Yahoo’s failure to have controls and pro-
cedures in place to assess its cyber disclo-

CSM champs again
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There was a time when the Ohlone College
softball team owned the Coast Conference.
From 2002 to 2011, the Renegades of
Fremont won or shared the conference title.
It wasn’t until 2012 that College of San
Mateo finally wrested the conference crown
from them.
That 2012 championship was the first five
straight Coast Conference titles for CSM.
Despite a bump in the road last season that
cost the Bulldogs a sixth consecutive
crown, they had a chance to return to the top
of the Coast Conference with a win over the
rival Renegades Tuesday in San Mateo.
It wasn’t easy, but CSM recaptured the
conference crown with a 9-6 win over
Ohlone.
“Ohlone is definitely our rival. You know
they’re going to leave it all out there,” said
CSM head coach Nicole Borg. “To win your
conference championship is the ultimate
goal. Every time you look at that empty
spot on the banner (that lists CSM’s confer-
ence titles), it gives them (the players)
something to aim for.”
With both pitchers struggling to figure
out the strike zone, the game turned into an
offensive showcase. Ohlone hit a pair of
home runs that resulted in four RBIs, while
CSM scored nine runs on 14 hits.
“It becomes an offensive game when the
(strike) zone is smaller than you’re used to,”
Borg said. “For a pitcher, it’s tough to make
adjustments when you don’t know where the
strike zone is.
“But you have to make adjustments, so no
excuses.”
Sophomore third baseman Lauren Quirke
led the CSM attack, going 3 for 4 for two
RBIs and two runs scored. Sophomores
Gaby Zucchiatti, MacKenzie Driscoll and
Lexi Riccardi all had two hits, as did fresh-
man infielder Aubrie Businger.
Zucchiatti and Businger each had a pair of
RBIs, while Riccardi and pinch hitter
Kaitlyn Gretch drove in a run apiece.

MLB commish encouraged by mound visit rules
By Ian Harrison
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — Baseball Commissioner
Rob Manfred is encouraged by pace-of-play
changes that have limited mound visits and
reduced the time between innings at major
league games this season.
Speaking in Toronto on Tuesday before
the Blue Jays hosted the Boston Red Sox,
Manfred said the new rules have sped up
games without any disruption. Mound vis-
its without pitching changes averaged 3.79
per game through Sunday, down from 7.41
for the 2017 season.
“Whenever you change a rule in baseball,
people predict all sorts of dire outcomes,
and we have avoided even the smallest of
incidents related either to the mound visit
rule or the shorter inning breaks,” Manfred
said Tuesday. “Secondly, I’m positive about
them because they’ve been effective. We are
way down in terms of mound visits, I think
down about 50 percent, and our inning
breaks are significantly shorter. I take both
of those as positives in an ongoing effort
to make sure that we’re producing an enter-
tainment product with as little dead time as
possible.”
Black woman golfer: It was like we had targets on our backs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YORK, Pa. — When she walks onto a golf
course as one of the few black women on the
links, Sandra Harrison fills with pride and
hopes her play will dispel stereotypes and dis-
arm her fellow players — who are often white
and male.
What she felt playing at the Grandview Golf
Club as a new member in her community could
not have been more opposite, Harrison said.
The 59-year-old retiree said she was trauma-
tized, rattled and hurt after she said she and the
group of black women she was playing with
were run off the course before police were called
when a white man claimed the women were
playing too slowly.
“It was like we were playing with targets on
our backs,” Harrison said. “What other reason
could there be other than we were guilty of
being black while golfing?”
No charges were filed, but the confrontation
Saturday touched a raw nerve after two other
somewhat similar incidents. Two black men in

I’m going to say for cer-
tain whether or not we’re
going to have pitch
clocks at the big league
Rob Manfred level. ” The players’
association refused to
agree to pitch clocks, and Manfred backed
off of his threat to unilaterally implement
them this year.
The commissioner also spoke about the
number of games postponed by poor weath-
er so far. Games in Baltimore and Pittsburgh
were rained out on Tuesday, bringing the
total postponements this season to 28, the
most related to weather through April since
the commissioner’s office started keeping
those records in 1986.
“This has really been a unique April for
us,” Manfred said. “We’ve set a record for
the number of games that have been can-
celed and, probably more troublingly,
we’ve played a lot of games in really tough
weather. I think we have 12 cities that have
been more than 10 degrees below their aver-
New Jersey wrongly accused a black member
and his guest of not paying to work out and
called police, prompting an apology from the
company.
Harrison and Sandra Thompson said they
were at the second hole when representatives
of the Grandview Golf Club told the group they
were playing too slowly.
“We knew we snapped those balls and moved
right ahead,” Thompson said in an interview
with The Associated Press.
According to Thompson, one of the other
women said she was confronted by a man with
a posturing, aggressive demeanor who said,
“You need to move forward! I’m the owner!”
Not wanting to lose the day, the group
attempted to power through the front nine,
Harrison said, but the confrontations made
them increasingly upset and unable to concen-
trate on the game.
After the ninth hole, three of the women
dropped out and headed home.
“I said, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,”’
Harrison said. “I was traumatized.”
Down to two players, Thompson figured she
and her partner could continue without being
bothered. Again, they were approached.
The message this time: “Get off our proper-
age temperature for the month of April.”
Still, Manfred said the solution isn’t as
simple as scheduling early-season games in
domes and warm-weather cities.
“No teams are going to want to start the
season on the road for a couple of weeks,”
Manfred said. “In fact, the Basic Agreement
prohibits a trip that long. Equally impor-
tant, the domed and warm-weather markets
don’t want that many games early in the
year. Whether you have a dome or it’s warm
weather, until school gets out they are
tougher dates. We will do everything possi-
ble to try to schedule in a way that mini-
mizes weather damage. It’s in our interest to
do that. But there are real limitations in the
schedule.”
Manfred’s schedule in Toronto included a
meeting with Blue Jays president Mark
Shapiro and separate sessions with repre-
sentatives of team owner Rogers
Communications Inc., including chairman
Edward Rogers.
Renovations to Rogers Centre, Toronto’s
home since June 1989, were among the
items on Manfred’s agenda.
“Given the passage of time, the building
is probably out of date in terms of the
amenities that are available in many of our
ty.” The women were informed the police had
been called.
After they were questioned, police declined
to proceed further. Thompson said she was
offered a check refunding her membership, but
refused.
On Sunday club co-owner JJ Chronister told
the York Daily Record she called the women
personally to “sincerely apologize.”
On Monday, she issued a second statement to
the newspaper saying players who are slow
typically leave the course when asked by club
personnel.
“In this instance, the members refused to
leave so we called police to ensure an amicable
result,” the statement reads. It says the women
skipped holes and took an extended break.
“During the second conversation we asked
members to leave as per our policy noted on
the scorecard, voices escalated, and police were
called to ensure an amicable resolution,” it
reads.
It’s part of golf etiquette that slow-moving
players let groups behind them play through if
they are holding things up, and often golf
courses have employees who monitor the pace
of play, letting golfers know when they are
taking too long.

ballparks,” Manfred said. “While the build-
ing is fundamentally sound, I think it needs
an update to make it as economically viable
as possible.”
Manfred tries to visit as many big league
teams as he can each season and, having not
been to Toronto last year, was eager to come
early this season. The timing of his trip was
unrelated to Monday’s deadly attack in
Toronto, in which 10 people were killed and
14 injured when a driver deliberately struck
pedestrians with a van along a busy side-
walk.
“All of us at Major League Baseball were
devastated,” Manfred said. “You were in our
thoughts all day yesterday and will remain
there for some time. I hope that maybe our
game tonight will provide a little bit of the
beginning of a healing process that will be
important for this city.”
A blue banner reading (hash)TORON-
TOSTRONG was hung from the second deck
in center field before Tuesday night’s game,
Toronto’s first since the deadly incident.
Similar signs were hung on the wall behind
home plate, and the team honored the vic-
tims and first responders who helped at the
scene of the attack before the first pitch.
The five are part of a larger group of local
women known as Sisters in the Fairway. The
group has been around for at least a decade, and
all of its members are experienced players who
have golfed all over the country and world.
They’re very familiar with golf etiquette.
“Our name implies that we want to live life in
a fair way,” Harrison said. We want to be sisters
in the fairway, in golf and in life.”
Normally, clubs don’t allow groups larger
than four. Sandra Thompson was the last mem-
ber to arrive, and checked with a clerk to see if
it was OK to join the four others, knowing a
fifth member might be an issue. The clerk said
it was fine, said Thompson, an attorney and
president of the York branch of the NAACP.
Thompson posted a video on her Facebook
page showing the interaction with club co-
owner Jordan Chronister, his father, former
York County Commissioner Steve Chronister,
and several other white, male employees.
In it, Jordan Chronister tells the women he’s
been timing them and that they must leave the
premises. The women respond that they took
an appropriate break and that the men behind
them were still on their beer break and not
ready to tee off. The women are then told that
the police have been called. And so they wait.

times in the first five innings.

CSM
Continued from page 11
Not only did Quirke lead the Bulldogs’
offense, she also picked up the save in relief
of starter Emily McAdams, who worked five-
plus innings, giving up six runs (five
earned) on five hits. Seven walks, and a
three-run homer in the sixth that closed the
Ohlone deficit to just three, 9-6, spelled the
end for McAdams.
But Quirke secured the win for her with
two innings of no-hit ball. She got some
help in the top of the sixth when center
fielder Emily Cotla robbed Karen Didio of
extra bases but, in the top of the seventh,
Quirke struck out the first two batters before
inducing an infield popup to end the game.
Quirke, a 2016 Hillsdale graduate, maybe
pitched 18 innings during her entire high
school career — including club play
—  Borg said. But the CSM coach, who
pitched at the University of Tennessee, saw
potential in Quirke last season and, after a
year of working on her craft, Quirke became
a major key to the staff this season.
“The joke around here is, ‘Don’t joke
around with me,’” Borg said, adding Quirke
dropped an off-handed comment last season
about pitching.
“If you have any potential, we’re going to

year. She’s really honed her (pitching)
skills.”
McAdams started the game innocently
enough, getting a strikeout and groundout
to start the game. But Ohlone’s Lauryn
Garcia put a charge into a 2-1 pitch and sent
it over the center field wall for a 1-0
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Renegades lead in the first inning.
It was short-lived. CSM got the run right
back in the bottom half of the inning when
Riccardi’s bases-loaded, two-out grounder to
short was thrown high to first base, pulling
the first baseman’s foot off the bag,
enabling Quirke to score from third.
The Bulldogs would load the bases four
It appeared CSM had taken command of
the game with a five-run second as the
Bulldogs had six hits in the inning and sent
10 batters to the plate. Quirke had the first
big hit of the inning, as her bases-loaded
single to right drove in two runs.
Zucchiatti’s long fly ball to left turned into
a wind-blown double and also drove in a pair
of runs, while Businger picked up an RBI
with a bunt single to give CSM a 6-1 lead.
The Renegades got back into the game
with a pair of runs in the top of the third to
close to 6-3, but the Bulldogs added two
more runs in their half of the fourth, with
Businger plating Zucchiatti with an infield
hit. Later in the inning, Gretch came off the
bench and came up with a clutch RBI single.
A sacrifice fly from Riccardi in the bottom of
the fifth pushed CSM’s lead to 9-3.
But Ohlone did not go down without a
fight as Selena Gomez blasted a three-run
homer to left to close to 9-6 and end
McAdams’ day.
But Quirke came in and finished off the
Renegades to clinch the Coast Conference
championship after a year hiatus.
“When you hit a little hiccup and miss a
year (of winning a conference title), you
want to get back on track,” Borg said. “I
knew it wouldn’t be easy. I’m just glad we
came out on top. It’s nice to play good com-
petition and nice to see your players fight.”

NFL brief
Patriots’ Gronkowski
says he’ll play in 2018
BOSTON — Patriots tight end
Rob Gronkowski says he is return-
ing for his ninth NFL season.
Gronkowski made the announce-
ment in a post on Instagram
Tuesday . Gronkowski said he met
with coach Bill Belichick to
inform him of his intention to
return, adding he’s “been working
out, staying in shape and feel
great.”
Gronk previously hinted at con-
sidering retirement following New
England’s Super Bowl loss to the
Eagles in February.
He appeared in 14 games during
the 2017 season and led the team
in receiving with 69 catches for
1,084 yards and eight touchdowns.
Gronkowski was knocked out of
last season’s AFC championship
game with a concussion, but was
able to return in time for the Super
Bowl. He missed the Patriots’
2017 Super Bowl win over Atlanta
after undergoing back surgery.
MANAEA
Continued from page 12
3-0 win at home Saturday night.
Manaea mixed in changeups and slid-
ers with his fastball against the best
team in the big leagues so far this sea-
son.
“I don’t know how you don’t gain
confidence from something like that.
It’s one thing to throw a no-hitter. It’s
another thing to throw a no-hitter
against the Red Sox the way they’re
playing,” A’s manager Bob Melvin
said. “He’s a confident pitcher as is,
but to be able to finish off a game like
that should carry with him for a
while.”
Manaea’s next start will be Friday
night in Houston against the World
Series champion Astros.
“I’m going to treat it like any other
game. That’s what I did with the Red
Sox, and what I’m going to do for the
Astros,” Manaea said. “I’m not going
to change anything just because
something really cool happened.”
That no-no was the first for the A’s
since Dallas Braden’s perfect game
against Tampa Bay in 2010. It had
been almost exactly 25 years since
the Red Sox were held hitless.
Manaea’s father settled in Indiana
after being stationed there in the
Army, so except for his own family,
he didn’t grow up around the
Polynesian-like culture known for
producing big football players, many
of them now in the NFL, instead of
big league pitchers.
“I played basketball from fourth
grade to my sophomore year. I was
tall and it was something to do in the
winter,” he said. “It was fun for a
while, but after my sophomore year, I
was like, ‘Yeah this isn’t for me.’ I
can’t dribble the ball, I’m not physi-
cal enough. I’m skinny.”
Manaea continued to progress and
excel in baseball. He went to Indiana
State and had a standout summer in
the Cape Cod League before the
Kansas City Royals picked him 34th
overall in the 2013 amateur draft.
The Royals traded Manaea to
Oakland in 2015 when acquiring Ben
Zobrist. Manaea made his big league
debut the next season, and in his 58th
career start Saturday threw his first
complete game.
“The thing that impresses me the
most is he’s doing it differently than
he did when he first got here,” Melvin
said. “Just his stuff, he could get away
with making some mistakes. ... He’s
a three-pitch pitcher now. He com-
mands both sides of the plate.”
Melvin describes him now as a
“true pitcher” and not just a thrower
anymore.
Manaea didn’t really get any sleep
Saturday night.
“My mind was going a million
miles a second, and I just couldn’t get
that moment out of my head,” he said.
“It’s something I never really
dreamed of. ... It’s just a really, really
cool moment.”
Before watching the highlights
over and over throughout the night,
he had a video call with his parents,
who over the years have become
obsessed with baseball like their son.
“They love everything about the
A’s,” Manaea said. “Ever since I start-
ed getting more and more advanced
with baseball, they were always there
for me, and they drove me to prac-
tices, drove me to games. They’re all
in on baseball.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Mac
Williamson homered for the sec-
ond straight night, hitting a
tiebreaking shot in the sixth
inning to lead the San Francisco
Giants to a 4-3 victory over the
Washington Nationals on Tuesday
night.
Brandon Belt hit his fifth home
run in six games, Joe Panik added
three hits and scored twice, and the
Giants won their third straight and
fourth in the last five.
One night after hitting a 464-
foot homer in the series opener,
Williamson hit a first-pitch solo
shot to center off Tanner Roark
with two outs in the sixth inning
that bounced off the top of the wall
and broke a 3-all tie. It wasn’t as far
as Monday’s clout — this one went
423 feet — but was just as pivotal
for the Giants.

Gruden returns to practice field for Raiders
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Jon Gruden yelled out
instructions, called out plays and ran an
NFL practice for the first time since leaving
coaching nearly a decade ago in Tampa Bay.
This was the day Gruden had been waiting
for ever since he was hired for a second stint
as Oakland Raiders coach.
The Raiders opened their first voluntary
minicamp under Gruden on Tuesday with
optimism that a change in coach can alter
the fortunes of a team coming off a down
season.
“The practice field has always been a lab-
oratory for a coach,” Gruden said. “That’s
where we earn our pay. We have to develop
this team. We have to learn a lot about them
quickly. We have a lot of things to teach, a
lot of things to improve. It was fun to be out
there. I don’t want to be too deep or philo-
sophical or I might start crying.”
While only the first 30 minutes of prac-
tice were open to the media, there was a dif-
ferent vibe than in previous years with

replacing music as the
soundtrack on the field.
There were even large
video boards on the field,
allowing players to
watch replays of practice
plays immediately after
they happened to make
Jon Gruden corrections more quick-
ly. Gruden said that was
something his first saw watching Jim
Harbaugh’s practices at Michigan and
adopted it himself.
Gruden viewed this minicamp as an exam-
ination to see how well the players have
learned the plays and system in meeting
rooms the past two weeks. Gruden said he
tried to throw a few extra wrinkles at quar-
terback Derek Carr and was pleased with
how he responded.
“He threw everything at me,” Carr said.
“He tried to get me to see if I was listening
to him in the meetings. We had a lot of fun
doing that. It’s always fun to accept his
challenge and hopefully do good at it and
look at him or wink at him or something
mation from the coaches,” McKenzie said.
“Getting the information from the scouts.
Then we set the board. Guys, it’s not rocket
science. It really isn’t. It’s just trying to get
a feel for a new system. New coaches, what
they like and what they don’t like. That’s
the process.”
Here are some other things to look for in
the draft:
BIGGEST NEEDS
like that. We have fun together because we
both have the same goal of putting the ship
in the water and hitting this thing running.”
Gruden takes over a team that fell from 12
wins in 2016 to just six last season, leading
to the firing of coach Jack Del Rio and a sec-
ond stint for Gruden in Oakland. The
Raiders’ facility looks far different than it
did during Gruden’s first tenure from 1998-
2001 with a workout center that Del Rio ini-
tiated and new fields.
The team needs plenty of work after last
year’s disappointment.
The Raiders had major drops in scoring
(26 to 18.8), yards per game (373.3 to
324. 1) and committed twice as many
turnovers (14 to 28) this past season as Carr
took a major step back in his development
while dealing with a back injury for part of
the season.
But Gruden sees great potential that Carr
can get back to the level he was in 2016
when his play helped earn him a $125 mil-
lion, five-year extension in the offseason.
“I got really excited out there today,”
Gruden said. “You can have a really creative
imagination with that guy at the quarterback
The most glaring holes on the Raiders
after free agency are on the defensive side
with cornerback, inside linebacker and
defensive tackle at the top of the list.
There should be options there available to
No. 10 with players such as Ohio State CB
Denzel Ward, Georgia LB Roquan Smith,
versatile Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick,
Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds and
Washington DT Vita Vea all possibilities.
TRADING UP
If the Raiders are targeting a specific play-
er on day two or three of the draft, they have
plenty of draft capital to move up. Oakland
has two fifth-round picks and four in the
sixth round that could be used to add depth to
the roster or to move up a few spots after the
first round.
“Teams always want picks, especially
when they don’t have any in those later
rounds,” McKenzie said. “It would help. If
we would like to move up, we can use that as
trade bait.”
TRADING DOWN

position. He can make every throw. It
comes out of his hand fast and accurate. He’s
mobile and sharp. He’s a great leader.”
The defense became the first in NFL histo-
ry to fail to record an interception in the
first 10 games of the season and generated
only 14 takeaways all season compared to
30 in 2016.
The Raiders have brought in more than 20
free agents this offseason as Gruden has
tried to put his own imprint on the team
with one of the most significant moves
being the signing of receiver Jordy Nelson
to replace Michael Crabtree, who was
released to make room.
But there are also some key pieces miss-
ing, most notably 2016 AP Defensive
Player of the Year Khalil Mack, who is not
participating in the offseason program
while seeking a long-term contract before
he can become a free agent next offseason.
Starting left tackle Donald Penn is still
recovering from foot surgery and last year’s
top two draft picks, cornerback Gareon
Conley (shin) and safety Obi Melifonwu
(hip), aren’t taking part in team drills.
the first round in six previous drafts with
Oakland, he did move down nine spots in
2013 to get an extra pick before taking cor-
nerback DJ Hayden.
The Raiders could be a candidate to move
down this year, especially if there’s a quar-
terback on the board desired by a team pick-
ing later in the first round. Oakland could
target help on the interior pass rush or at
offensive tackle, both positions where the
top players may not be projected to go in
the top 10.
HITS, MISSES AND BARGAINS
McKenzie struck it big in 2014 when he
drafted cornerstones Mack and Carr with his
first two picks and starters at guard (Gabe
Jackson) and defensive tackle (Justin Ellis)
the next two rounds. The 2016 draft wasn’t
nearly as productive with second, third and
fourth-round picks Jihad Ward, Shilique
Calhoun and Connor Cook struggling even
to get on the field. DT Treyvon Hester, a
2017 seventh-round pick, showed promise
as a rookie and could be a key contributor
this year.

building operation before in the history of
this county,” he said. “It’s a very exciting
time.”
Because the San Mateo Health Services
Building and the Hospital Administration
Building adjacent to it were built in the
1950s, they are lagging behind current seis-
mic codes, explained Deborah Bazan, direc-
tor of the county’s Project Development
Unit. Though officials considered retro-
fitting the current buildings, she said they
ultimately opted to demolish the aging
buildings and build a new administrative
building totaling 70,000 square feet and
expected to connect to the hospital on the
Health System’s campus in San Mateo,
bounded by the 37th Avenue, Edison Street,
West 39th Avenue and Hacienda Street.
By planning the demolition of the two
older buildings and new construction in
multiple phases, county planners and
health officials are hoping to streamline
construction and avoid disrupting hospital
functions as the project takes shape, said
Bazan, who added another goal of the proj-
ect is to house the estimated 300 employees
best-suited for hospital functions in the new
building and relocate another 300 workers
to the Health System’s South San Francisco
offices or a new office building planned for
the county’s government center in Redwood
City.
“There’s been a really great effort in shuf-
DISPATCH
Continued from page 1
vides police dispatch service for the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and several
other Peninsula cities as well as all of the
fire departments and emergency medical first
responders in the county, a good portion of
those calls — more than 400 in the early
afternoon — were answered by county dis-
patchers.
Tucked away in the basement of the Hall of
Justice in Redwood City, the lighting in the
center is often dimmed to allow the dispatch-
ers inside to more easily view the six or
seven screens in front of them. Dings indi-
cating incoming calls interrupt the relative
calm that settles in when calls die down, a far
cry from the state of the center April 3 when
questions about the San Bruno shooting
flooded the lines.
After decades of experience with emer-
gency response, Dan Belville, the dispatch
center’s director, said he could tell right
away the volume of calls coming in the
afternoon of April 3 was going to warrant an
all-hands-on-deck kind of response.
“When I walked into the center having
been in public safety for many, many years,
I said this is the real deal,” the former San
Mateo fire chief said. “Phones were
absolutely ringing off the hook, every seat
was filled.”

fling the departments,” she said.
Dubbed the County Office Building 3, or
COB3, the project is expected to not only
accommodate an influx of Health System
employees but also to house staff at the
County Counsel’s Office, Human Resources
Department and County Manager’s Office,
among other offices currently located at the
Hall of Justice across the street from the
new office’s site at the intersection of
Hamilton and Marshall streets, said Bazan.
In the hopes of creating a civic hub at the
site, where the historic Lathrop House cur-
rently stands, the architect employed an
open design, including easily accessible
board chambers that can be used for other
events, topographic changes throughout
the site and a scalloped roof design allow-
ing sunlight to reach pedestrian paths, said
Bazan, who also mentioned a plan to close
down Hamilton Street and create a public
promenade in its place could connect the
new building to other buildings in the gov-
ernment center.
Having served on a committee to review
the plans alongside Supervisor David
Canepa, Supervisor Don Horsley said the
architect’s design incorporated several of
the supervisors’ ideas, including a desire to
keep the space open for community events.
“It’s different, it will withstand the test of
time and at the same time it really enhances
Redwood City,” he said.
Also included in the plans for the new
building is the relocation of the Lathrop
House to a lot adjacent to the back of the
history museum across the street and the
construction of a new parking garage on top
of the current surface jury parking lot.
filled, Belville said space was cleared in the
County Manager’s Office to manage the
stream of calls as well as coordinate a mutu-
al aid response among the county’s police
agencies. Though large events like the
shooting incident at the YouTube campus are
not common, Belville said they can often
highlight the rising demand for those capa-
ble of fielding 911 calls.
With a steadily increasing county popula-
tion and more and more employees commut-
ing into the county for work, the center
responded to just under 400,000 calls last
year, with many more repeat or misdialed
calls coming into the center, explained
Belville.
Traffic accidents, suicides, homicides and
large events like the Pacific Gas and Electric
pipeline explosion in 2010 and the Asiana
Airlines airplane crash at the San Francisco
Airport in 2013 constitute the more dramat-
ic events the dispatch center has dealt with,
but countless calls reporting stray dogs,
medical emergencies and disturbances of all
shapes and sizes are also included among the
array of situations to which dispatchers
respond.
“The growth I think we’re seeing in the
county is in part the cause for some of our
increase in volume because there’s just more
activity and we have to deal with that,” he
said.
In an effort to meet the rising tide of calls,
Belville and Sue Anderson, assistant director
of the center, are on a mission to recruit new
staff members. Because radio dispatchers are
trained to take calls as well as dispatch fire,
Expected to cost close to $1 million, the
relocation of the historic home could begin
as early as August and be completed by the
end of 2018, said Bazan.
By factoring in a current shortage of some
300 parking spots at the county’s govern-
ment center and hundreds of new employees
to commute there in the years to come,
Bazan said county officials tried to strike a
balance between accommodating the park-
ing need and anticipating new employees
would be encouraged not to drive to work in
planning a six- to seven-story structure
with 1,100 spaces. She added conversations
with Redwood City officials about whether
the city’s employees would use a floor of the
structure will determine whether it would
reach seven stories, and noted the ground
floor of the garage could be converted for
another use if there is a surplus of spots in
the future.
Though board President Dave Pine
acknowledged the difficulty in predicting
how many spots would be needed, he asked
if officials could take more time to think
about that as he worried 1,100 spaces may
be too many for the site. Given changes in
the way people are commuting, Pine won-
dered if a transportation demand manage-
ment plan implemented among county
employees could reduce the need for so
many spots.
“I think we should challenge ourselves to
see if we can do a little better,” he said.
County Manager John Maltbie noted the
structure would be available to visitors of
downtown Redwood City, making a portion
of the parking demand outside the county’s
control. Bazan said the supervisors could
police and medical responders, they must go
through hundreds of hours of training and
on-the-job experience, explained Anderson.
By creating a call taker position, which
primarily deals with incoming calls and does
not include the responsibility of dispatch-
ing emergency units, Anderson said the cen-
ter will be better equipped to handle periods
of high call volume because dispatchers
won’t be pulled away from sending a unit to
a scene to answer an incoming call as many
times as they would with fewer hands.
Anderson acknowledged the demands of
those who work at the center are many,
adding their rigorous training and dozens of
protocol help dispatchers and call takers
quickly and calmly identify next steps for
those calling with distressing situations.
Detailed steps for what to do in instances of
someone choking, women about to give
birth and heart attacks are at the ready on a
computerized system so dispatchers can
deliver what can be life-saving instructions,
said Anderson.
But the detailed steps don’t make the job
any less taxing, said Anderson, who added
many discover constantly multi-tasking and
riding the wave of calls on the 12-hour
shifts that come with the job is more stress-
ful than they expected when they started.
“You have to be an adrenaline junkie,” she
said. “You have to take the highs and lows.”
With more than 36 years of experience in
dispatch, Anderson said many are drawn to
the field despite its demand out of a desire to
give back to the community, adding that dis-
patchers are considered the “first” first

revisit the project in the fall as ground is
not expected to break on the project until
August of 2019.
Implementing a newly-adopted county
policy of creating energy efficient building
with zero net energy has pushed the costs up
for several of the projects, said Bazan, who
noted costs for the administrative offices at
the medical center grew to an estimated
$110 million from previous projections of
under $100 million and the COB3 project
reaching an estimated $151 million, which
also includes additional square footage
bringing the project total to just under
200,000 square feet.
Jim Eggemeyer, director of the county’s
Office of Sustainability, said the building’s
energy efficient construction, along with a
robust transportation demand management
program, or TDM, would be among the last-
ing effects of the changes once they are
implemented. In response to a question
from Pine about whether the county’s TDM
would be integrated with Redwood City’s,
Eggemeyer said fall discussions of commute
alternatives to driving could be a good way
for the county and city to plan collabora-
tively.
Pine joined the other four supervisors in
commending the design of the new county
office building, noting his enthusiasm for
an opportunity to create a center reflective
of the county’s core values and highlight-
ing the role of public service.
“I know we all care about transparency in
government and having someplace we’re
really proud of,” he said. “The central build-
ing, the hub building of our county should
convey these principles.”
responder because they are often the first
emergency responder a caller faces.
“Being that first first responder, we truly
at this level can make a huge difference,” she
said.
With some 60 dispatchers and call takers
on board this year, Belville and Anderson are
hoping to hire another 15 in three academies
the center is operating in the coming
months to improve their responses. Also
expected to help handle the call volume, a
new Public Safety Regional Operations
Center is currently under construction and is
expected to be equipped with updated com-
puter-aided dispatch and geographic infor-
mation systems when it opens in the spring
of 2019, said Anderson.
In the meantime, Belville is looking for-
ward to bolstering his staff, which has taken
on police dispatch for an increasing number
of cities in recent years — which now
include Broadmoor Village, Daly City, East
Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Millbrae, Portola
Valley, San Carlos, Woodside and the unin-
corporated sections of San Mateo County —
without much of any additions to his current
team.
Though the high demand for new staff
weighs heavily on Belville, he noted the
shortage of public safety personnel is a
regional phenomenon and the fortuitous
timing of projects like the new operations
center as well as the new positions he’s been
able to create.
“It’s like we can’t fill it fast enough,” he
said. “We think it’s tough, but we think
we’re balancing that need.”

spoken about,” board President Maria
Diaz-Slocum said in an email. “This is
a very emotional issue for the families
and the district is doing everything to
make the transition as smooth as pos-
sible.”
District spokesman Jorge Quintana
also noted the concerns, but suggested
the proposal offers the greatest oppor-
tunity for equity across the city.
“The school district strongly
believes that all [Redwood City
Elementary School District] students
deserve access to all services and
resources. Should Fair Oaks continue
to operate with such low enrollment,
Fair Oaks students could have fewer
resources than students at other larger
schools thus the plan to transfer them
to other schools. The district has
designed a plan to guide and help our
parents during this transition,” he said
in an email.
Regarding the transition, Diaz-
Slocum noted the existing students
will have a choice of moving to Taft,
Garfield or Hoover schools — all of
which offer supplementary services
such as family centers and after-school
programs similar to Fair Oaks.
Officials have said Fair Oaks needs
to close to offer greater efficiency for
using district facilities. The school’s
enrollment in recent years has dwin-
dled to roughly 160 students, which is
too small to occupy a campus with a
capacity of more than 800 students.
So officials proposed to close Fair
Oaks, providing greater space for KIPP

Peter J. Sgarbossa aka Peter Joseph
Sgarbossa and Peter Sgarbossa
Case Number: 18-PRO-00359
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Peter J. Sgarbossa aka
Peter Joseph Sgarbossa and Peter Sgar-
bossa . A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Lois Aldwin in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Lois
Aldwin be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAY 21, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Room 2F,
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo, 400 County Center, Red-
wood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-

Post suggests rampage suspect may have resented women
Mourners attend a makeshift memorial a day after a van struck multiple people along a major
intersection in north Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
In shift, Trump assesses Kim Jong Un as ‘very honorable’
By Jonathan Lemire
and Matthew Pennington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump on Tuesday said Kim Jong Un
wants a historic, high-stakes meeting
as soon as possible and suggested the
North Korean dictator has been “very
open” and “very honorable,” a sharply
different assessment of a leader he once
denounced as “Little Rocket Man.”
The United States and North Korea
have been negotiating a summit
between Trump and Kim to be held in
May or June to broker a deal on
Pyongyang’s nuclear program. Trump,
who has struck a decidedly optimistic
tone on the situation in recent days,
said Tuesday that the United States and
North Korea were having “good discus-
sions.”
“We have been told directly that they
would like to have the meeting as soon
NATION/WORLD
as possible. We
think that’s a great
thing for the
world,” Trump said
at the White House
alongside French
President Emmanuel
Macron. “Kim Jong
Un, he really has
Donald Trump been very open and
I think very honor-
able from everything we’re seeing.”
Trump cautioned that North Korea
had not followed through on previous
promises, but credited tough steps from
his administration — including sanc-
tions and organizing pressure from
international allies — for having
forced Pyongyang to hold talks. And
he again suggested that he would “leave
the table” if the negotiations were not
productive or if North Korea was not
operating in good faith.
“We’ll see where that all goes,” the

president said.
“Maybe it will be
wonderful or maybe
it won’t.”
Trump’s com-
ments came days
after a flurry of
moves from North
Korea that the White
Kim Jong Un House was anxious
to promote as signs
that its coercion campaign was work-
ing. On Saturday, North Korea
announced it will close its nuclear test-
ing facility and suspend nuclear and
intercontinental ballistic missile tests
— a move welcomed by Trump as “big
progress.”
However, the North stopped short of
suggesting it will give up its nuclear
weapons — as Trump suggested in a
weekend tweet — or scale back its pro-
duction of missiles and their related
components.
