Redwood City looks to hike fees
Recovery cost lower than expenses for building, safety services
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As Redwood City officials dig more
deeply into budgeting and forecasting for
capital improvements, a discussion of how
to update fees to align with the cost of city
services explored one way to better support
expenditures.
At Mondays City Council meeting, coun-
cilmembers expressed concerns about how
residents, businesses and nonprofits may be
affected by an effort to match fees up with
the cost of building, engineering, plan-
ning, fire and police services.
Mayor John Seybert said he hoped to
establish a more consistent review process
for the fees, some of which hadnt been
reviewed since 2002.
I dont like to pay fees but I also real-
ize that they pay for services, he said. It is
that balancing act.
Current cost recovery for services deliv-
ered in these five areas averaged 73 percent,
according to a staff report. Building and
police services recovered costs at the lowest
rates, at 66 percent and 50 percent cost
recovery, respectively. Based on an ongo-
ing comprehensive fee study, staff recom-

mended new fees for services currently pro-
vided but not charged, which, in the build-
ing department, include address changes,
restaurant sidewalk seating extensions and
wireless communications facilities.
Consolidating fees into a flat rate to simpli-
fy the administration of services requiring
the same staff support was another improve-
ment staff recommended.
Councilman Jeff Gee supported the update
and opportunity to reorganize current fees,
especially the ones incurred with more com-
plex building projects requiring services
from multiple departments.
While these are one off, rarely can you
make an application for either a house or for
a building and pay only one, he said.
Youve got to pay for, if youre a project, of those costs.
maybe five, or more.
He recommended that a future reading of ing and all that, its going to be hard for
the fees show what projects would cost
per square foot as well as a cumulative
total so the impact of all required fees
could be determined.
Councilwoman Diane Howard emphasized
the need to look closely at aligning fees
with the resources the city uses toward
delivering critical services, such as safety
inspections for homes and businesses.

with San Bruno burglaries
Police in San Bruno have arrested four
suspects in connection with six residential
burglaries dating back to January.
Donovan Secreto, 18, Marcos Rodriguez,
18, Louis Agredano-Rodriguez, 19, and a
17-year-old male juvenile were arrested on
suspicion of burglary, auto theft, posses-
sion of stolen property and conspiracy,
according to the San Bruno Police
Department.
Police said the burglaries occurred since
January in a residential area bound by
Interstate 380, Angus Avenue, El Camino
Real and Huntington Avenue.
Three suspects were arrested Thursday
near the CalTrain station in San Bruno.
Police said the suspects were in posses-
sion of a stolen vehicle.
Investigators were able to confirm the
suspects involvement in the crimes from
statements the suspects made and from
physical evidence found, police said.
The fourth suspect was arrested Friday
after investigators executed search warrants
at two residences associated with the previ-
ously arrested suspects.
Investigators found property taken in the
burglaries and property stolen in crimes in
neighboring jurisdictions during the
search, police said.

Police discover skimmer
device in ATM at Pacifica 7-Eleven
Police discovered and removed a skim-
mer device from an ATM at a convenience
store in Pacifica Thursday afternoon.
According to police, a customer using
was using an ATM at a 7-Eleven located at
100 Clarendon Road around 1 p.m. when he
noticed a piece of wire protruding from the
top of the PIN pad.
Upon closer examination, the customer
discovered a false bottom had been attached
the ledge above the PIN pad, and he told a
store clerk who contacted authorities.
Police said an investigation revealed that
a pinhole camera connected to an illegal
card reader device had been attached to the
ATM.
According to police, when a bankcard in
inserted into a skimmer, account informa-
tion is stored illegally on an attached elec-
tronic device where criminals can then use
the information and commit fraud.
Police advised ATM users to be aware of
suspicious looking equipment that seems
loose, crooked, damaged or has an abun-
dance of adhesive residue.
Additionally, police advised ATM users to
always block their PIN numbers when enter-
ing them, and to contact their banks if a
card is not immediately returned after the
transaction, or hitting cancel.
Pacifica police continue to investigate
this incident.
One person dead after single vehicle
collision early Saturday morning
One person died early Saturday in a single
vehicle collision on State Route 84 in
Menlo Park, according to police.
Police said officers responded to the east-
bound lanes of Bayfront Expressway just
east of Chilco Street at 3:14 a.m. on reports
of a vehicle that drove off of the road into a
drainage ditch.
According to police, the vehicle collided
with a cement drainage outlet.
Upon arrival police found the driver suf-
fering from major injuries and responding
paramedics administered lifesaving tech-
niques to no avail. The driver was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
The identity of the victim is being with-
held until next of kin is notified, and the
cause of the accident is still under investi-
gation.
Eastbound lanes on Bayfront Expressway
were temporarily closed for about four and a
half hours as a result of the accident.
Anyone who may have witnessed the
incident is encouraged to contact Traffic
Officer Brent Hughes at (650) 330-6300.
Winter spare the air
season ends with 91 violations
The Bay Area Spare the Air season ended
on the last day of February with 1,542 com-
plaints and 91 violations of a wood smoke
rule, Bay Area Air Quality District officials
said Friday.
First-time violators were given the
option of paying a $100 fine or taking a
wood smoke awareness class.
People who are issued a second violation
must pay a $500 fine and fines are currently
higher for subsequent violations.
Seven Winter Spare the Air Alerts were
issued this season, which runs from
November to February.
During no day of the season did pollution
from fine particulates, such as wood smoke,
exceed federal health standards, according
to air district officials.
Air quality benefited from abundant rain
this winter as rain and wind help clean the
air.
Air district officials are urging residents
to replace older, more polluting fireplaces
with cleaner heating options because wood
smoke is harmful, especially to people with
respiratory illnesses.
Wood smoke pollution has also been
linked to an increased risk of heart attacks,
air district officials said.
Wood smoke is the largest source of pol-
lution during Bay Area winters.
Air district rules require residents who use
a fireplace or outdoor fire pit to burn dry,
seasoned firewood and avoid burning
garbage, leaves or other material that cre-
ates excessive smoke.
Ex-Stockton mayor arrested at SFO
Former Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva
has been arrested at the San Francisco
International Airport, where he arrived from
a vacation in South America.
Silvas attorney said the former mayor
was arrested Sunday as he returned from
Colombia.
An arrest warrant was issued for Silva on
Thursday on charges of profiteering,
embezzlement, misappropriation of public
funds and grand theft, among other charges.
He will face the charges in San Joaquin
County.
Sawyer says Silva left for his vacation on
Wednesday, a day before FBI agents and
investigators from the San Joaquin County
District Attorneys Office served search war-
rants at Silvas home and the Stockton Kids
Club, which Silva used to run when it was
known as the Boys and Girls Club.
Hayward police shoot man
suspected of shooting two others
HAYWARD Police in Hayward say offi-

shooting a teenager girl and an adult male
outside a home, wounding him.
Hayward Police Sgt. Ryan Cantrell says
the shooting happened Saturday night after
officers responded to calls about a 17-year-
old girl and a man shot in front of a home.
Cantrell says in a statement officers
arrived at the scene and made contact with
the suspect who pulled out a gun and point-
ed it at one of the officers. The officers then
fired their weapons, striking him several
times.
Cantrell says the suspect and his alleged
two victims were taken to a hospital, where
the men remain in stable condition.

Flip the script: Cursive sees
revival in school instruction
By Karen Matthews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Cursive writing is looping
back into style in schools across the coun-
try after a generation of students who know
only keyboarding, texting and printing out
their words longhand.
Alabama and Louisiana passed laws in
2016 mandating cursive proficiency in pub-
lic schools, the latest of 14 states that
require cursive. And last fall, the 1.1 mil-
lion-student New York City schools, the
nations largest public school system,
encouraged the teaching of cursive to stu-
dents, generally in the third grade.
Its definitely not necessary but I think
its, like, cool to have it, said Emily Ma, a
17-year-old senior at New York Citys aca-
demically rigorous Stuyvesant High School
who was never taught cursive in school and
had to learn it on her own.
Penmanship proponents say writing
words in an unbroken line of swooshing ls
and three-humped ms is just a faster, easier
way of taking notes. Others say students
should be able to understand documents
written in cursive, such as, say, a letter from
Grandma. And still more say its just a good
life skill to have, especially when it comes
to signing your name.
That was where New York state

Attorneys seek release of
Honduran teen held in California
SAN FRANCISCO Attorneys say
theyre seeking the release of a 14-year-old
Honduran boy who has been locked up in a
Northern California juvenile hall for nearly
a year, even though he has no criminal
record and has been granted asylum.
The teen was apprehended last March try-
ing to enter the U.S. alone at a Texas border
crossing. His asylum case documented
severe abuse by his parents and caregivers
in Honduras.
The boy is being held at the Yolo County
Juvenile Detention Facility in Woodland.
The teen receives little treatment for the
trauma hes suffered and should be in foster
care, said Cecilia Candia, a staff attorney
with San Franciscos Legal Services for
Children who visits the teen weekly.
The newspaper isnt naming the boy, cit-
ing his age and mental health condition.
Candia said the boys trauma has only
been worsened by his indefinite detention,
adding that he spends most of his time
alone in his cell and has repeatedly tried to
harm himself. He has lashed out at times,
she said, causing staff to douse him with
pepper spray or bind his wrists and ankles.
He has behavioral issues in this jail
which are directly related to his mental
he reacts very strongly to perceived threats,
hes always in that fight-or-flight
response.
Afghan family detained in Los
Angeles are asking for release
LOS ANGELES An Afghan family of
five who obtained special visas to relocate
to the U.S. were detained by immigration
officials when they arrived at Los Angeles
International Airport on Thursday and have
been in custody ever since, according to
their attorneys.
The mother and father and their three chil-
dren arrived at LAX for a connecting flight
to Seattle, where they planned to resettle.
Instead, they were detained by U. S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
their attorneys said in court papers.
On Saturday, the International Refugee
Assistance Project filed a petition in federal
court seeking the familys release, arguing
that they were approved for relocation after
intense vetting because the father had been
employed by the U. S. government in
Afghanistan, according to the Los Angeles
Times.
It shocks the conscience, said Talia
Inlender, a senior staff attorney with Public

vides free legal services.

Donald Trump salutes as he walks from Marine One and returns to the White House.
Trump seeks Congress help on
wiretap claim; FBI disputes it
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM BEACH, Fla. President Donald
Trump turned to Congress on Sunday for
help finding evidence to support his unsub-
stantiated claim that former President
Barack Obama had Trumps telephones
tapped during the election. Obamas intelli-
gence chief said no such action was ever car-
ried out, and a U.S. official said the FBI has
asked the Justice Department to dispute the
allegation.
Republican leaders of Congress appeared
willing to honor the presidents request, but
the move has potential risks for the presi-
dent, particularly if the House and Senate
intelligence committees unearth damaging
information about Trump, his aides or his
associates.
Trump claimed in a series of tweets with-
out evidence Saturday that his predecessor
had tried to undermine him by tapping the
telephones at Trump Tower, the New York
skyscraper where Trump based his campaign
and transition operations, and maintains a
home.
Obamas director of national intelligence,
James Clapper, said nothing matching
Trumps claims had taken place.
Absolutely, I can deny it, said Clapper,
who left government when Trump took
office in January. Other representatives for

the former president also denied Trumps
allegation.
The FBI has asked the Justice Department
to dispute Trumps allegations, a U.S. offi-
cial told the Associated Press on Sunday.
The official wasnt authorized to discuss the
request by name and spoke on condition of
anonymity.
No such statement has been issued by the
Justice Department. DOJ spokeswoman
Sarah Isgur Flores declined to comment
Sunday, and an FBI spokesman also did not
comment.
The New York Times reported that senior
American officials say FBI Director James
Comey has argued that the claim must be
corrected by the Justice Department because
it falsely insinuates that the FBI broke the
law.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer
said without elaborating Sunday that
Trumps instruction to Congress was based
on very troubling reports concerning
potentially politically motivated investiga-
tions immediately ahead of the 2016 elec-
tion. Spicer did not respond to inquiries
about the reports he cited in announcing the
request.
Spicer said the White House wants the
congressional committees to exercise their
oversight authority to determine whether
executive branch investigative powers were
abused in 2016.
Neil Gorsuch willing
to limit environmental
groups in land cases
By Holbrook Mohr and Garance Burke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has
shown a willingness to limit the participa-
tion of environmental groups in lawsuits
involving public lands, writing in one case
that allowing conservationists to intervene
could complicate and slow down the judicial
process, according to an Associated Press
review of his rulings as a federal appeals
court judge.
Gorsuch has spent a decade on the Denver-
based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
which hears disputes about public lands
ranging from energy companies drilling
rights to the use of off-road vehicles in
national forests across six Western states.
With public lands cases and other con-
tentions issues, Gorsuch applied a uniform
set of legal principles, said Donald Kochan,
associate dean and professor at Chapman
University Dale E. Fowler School of Law.
I think that his record, although the
number of cases is quite limited, shows that
at times it has led to decisions that one
might consider environmentally favor-
able, and about an equal number of times it
Republicans in Maine, Utah want
president to undo monuments
By David Sharp
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine Republican leaders
in Maine and Utah are asking President
Donald Trump to step into uncharted territo-
ry and rescind national monument designa-
tions made by his predecessor.
The Antiquities Act of 1906 doesnt give
the president power to undo a designation,
and no president has ever taken such a step.
But Trump isnt like other presidents.
Former President Barack Obama used his
power under the act to permanently preserve
more land and water using national monu-
ment designations than any other president.
The land is generally off limits to timber
harvesting, mining and pipelines, and com-
mercial development.
Obama created the Katahdin Woods and
Waters National Monument in Maine last
summer on 87,500 acres of donated forest-

has led to decisions
some might think are
environmentally unfa-
vorable, Kochan said.
For those who think
that he will lean toward
one outcome or another,
I think theyll be sur-
prised on how the more
neutral application of
Neil Gorsuch his philosophy will
often lead to confound-
ing results.
In public lands cases in which he sought
to limit environmental groups participa-
tion, Gorsuch at times has favored the posi-
tion of federal agencies. But his record on
such cases is relatively limited considering
that the territory the appeals court covers
contains vast swaths of national forests and
parks.
Denise Grab, a lawyer with New York
University Law Schools Institute for Policy
Integrity, said Gorsuch has a mixed bag of
rulings related to public lands and the envi-
ronment, yet seems unusually eager to
throw roadblocks in the way of public inter-
est groups who want their day in court.

Penobscot River and stunning views of

In Utah, the former president created Bears
Ears National Monument on 1.3 million
acres of land thats sacred to Native
Americans and is home to tens of thousands
of archaeological sites, including ancient
cliff dwellings.
Trumps staff is now reviewing those deci-
sions by the Obama administration to deter-
mine economic impacts, whether the law
was followed and whether there was appro-
priate consultation with local officials, the
White House told the Associated Press.
Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage is
opposed to the designation, and says feder-
al ownership could stymie industrial devel-
opment; and Republican leaders in Utah
contend the monument designation adds
another layer of unnecessary federal control
in a state where theres already heavy federal
ownership.

Poll: Divided Americans
fret country losing identity
By Matt Sedensky
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Add one more to the list of
things dividing left and right in this coun-
try: We cant even agree what it means to be
an American.
A new survey from the Associated Press-
NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
finds Republicans are far more likely to cite
a culture grounded in Christian beliefs and
the traditions of early European immigrants
as essential to U.S. identity.
Democrats are more apt to point to the
countrys history of mixing of people from
around the globe and a tradition of offering
refuge to the persecuted.
While theres disagreement on what
makes up the American identity, 7 in 10
people regardless of party say the
country is losing that identity.
Its such stark divisions, said Lynele
Jones, a 65-year-old accountant in Boulder,
Colorado. Like many Democrats, Jones
pointed to diversity and openness to
refugees and other immigrants as central
components of being American.
Theres so much turmoil in the American
political situation right now. Peoples ideas
of what is Americas place in the world are
so different from one end of the spectrum to
the other, Jones said.
There are some points of resounding
agreement among Democrats, Republicans
and independents about what makes up the
countrys identity. Among them: a fair judi-
cial system and rule of law, the freedoms
enshrined in the Constitution, and the abil-
ity to get good jobs and achieve the
American dream.
Big gulfs emerged between the left and
right on other characteristics seen as inher-
ent to America.
About 65 percent of Democrats said a mix

of global cultures was extremely or very
important to American identity, compared
with 35 percent of Republicans. Twenty-
nine percent of Democrats saw Christianity
as that important, compared with 57 percent
of Republicans.
Democrats are far more likely than
Republicans to say that the ability of peo-
ple to come to escape violence and persecu-
tion is very important, 74 percent to 55 per-
cent. Also, 25 percent of Democrats said the
culture of the countrys early European
immigrants very important, versus 46 per-
cent of Republicans.
Reggie Lawrence, a 44-year-old
Republican in Midland, Texas, who runs a
business servicing oil fields, said the coun-
try and the Constitution were shaped by
Christian values. As those slip away, he
said, so does the structure of families, and
ultimately, the countrys identity.
If you lose your identity, Lawrence said,
What are we? Were not a country any-
more.
Patrick Miller, a political science profes-
sor at the University of Kansas who studies
partisanship and polling, said the results
reflect long-standing differences in the U.S.

diversity and anothers vision of the coun-
try grounded in the white, English-speak-
ing, Protestant traditions of its early set-
tlers.

U.N.: 66K displaced in five months of Syria fighting FEES

By Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT Five months of multi-
sided clashes in Syrias crowded northern
battlefield have displaced some 66,000
people, a U.N. humanitarian agency said
Sunday, a day after the U.S. bolstered
Kurdish-led forces with a deployment of
armored vehicles amid preparations for a
push toward the Islamic State groups de
facto capital.
Besides the autonomous Kurdish-led
forces, Turkish, Syrian government and
Syrian opposition fighters have all been
jostling for territory formerly held by
the Islamic State group near the Turkish-
Syrian frontier.
The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic
Forces, led by the Syrian Kurdish PKK
party, are the current front runners in the
race to Raqqa, the IS capital. They are
now stationed 8 kilometers (5 miles)
north of the Euphrates River city and
supported by U.S.-led coalition
airstrikes and a deployment of some 500
U.S. special forces operators. The
Pentagon has said they are working in an
advisory capacity.
But Turkey, a U.S. ally through NATO,
says the PKK is an extension of the
Kurdish insurgency inside its own bor-
ders and has classified the party as a ter-
ror organization. It has objected strong-
ly over the SDF offensive and vowed,
too, to throw the Kurdish-led forces in
Manbij the SDFs westernmost flank
back over the banks of the Euphrates.
This would disrupt the Raqqa campaign.
There are Turkish forces stationed in
al-Bab, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south-
west of Manbij. The threats prompted
the SDF to ask Russia and the Syrian
army to establish a buffer between
Manbij and al-Bab.
With uncertainty building, the U.S.
deployed a number of armored vehicles
to its allies in Manbij, the Syrian
Kurdish Rudaw news agency reported
Saturday.
Operation Inherent Resolve
spokesman Col. John Dorrian con-
firmed the deployment on Twitter. He
said it was mean to deter aggression and
keep focus on defeating ISIS, another
acronym for the Islamic State group.
Dorrian added the deployment was
there to guarantee that the Kurdish ele-
ments of the SDF have left Manbij.
Turkey says they have not.
The Syrian military, meanwhile, has
driven east of Aleppo to draw a front with
the Turkish-backed Syrian opposition
forces south of al-Bab, blocking their
route to Raqqa. Government forces,
backed by Lebanese Hezbollah militants
and Russian airpower, have moved
quickly in the direction of IS-held al-
Khafseh, on the banks of the Euphrates.
Al-Khafseh is home to the main water
station for Aleppo, Syrias largest city.
Government forces are 13 kilometers (8
miles) away, according to the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights monitoring group.
Continued from page 3
Seybert said updated fees should take into account
whether they are necessary to ensure safety, such as per-
mits for water heaters, or are for services for which groups
can afford to pay more.
Some of the fees pay for things because people choose
to do them, and some of these fees pay for things they
have to do, he said.
He also advocated for a more regular review process or a
cost escalator to keep fees in line with economic trends.
He suggested city officials consider fee forgiveness or dis-
counts for groups or individuals who would be forced to
opt out of services should they increase significantly.
Councilmembers also discussed the possibility of creat-
ing an appeals process for some fees or to reduce retail
fees for a period of time to encourage small business activ-
ity.
Vice Mayor Ian Bain emphasized the importance of clear
communication with the public on where cost recovery
stands with current fees and what changes to the fees would
cover.
In public outreach, I think one of the things we need to
stress very clearly, is if we are not fully recovering our
costs, we are subsidizing from the general fund, he said.
The council is set to revisit change to the fees later this
spring prior to its discussion of the 2017-18 budget.

the current administrations tough
stand on immigration.
Ms. Koelling chastises those who
willfully and disrespectfully ignore
the laws of our country, and deems it
unfair to those immigrants who come
here legally and wait their turn.
What Ms. Koelling and others who
denigrate illegal immigrants miss is
this very important point: Most ille-
gal immigrants dont want to come
here illegally. They do so because
they have no choice. Many illegal
immigrants are eeing war, persecu-
tion or horrendous living conditions
in their country of origin. Like Ms.
Koellings ancestors, the vast majori-
ty of illegal immigrants are seeking a
better life, safety for their family and
a slice of the American dream.
Ms. Koelling points out that her
ancestors waited their turn and
implies that those that cross the bor-
der illegally should do likewise. Ms.
Koelling conveniently forgets the
historical truth that immigration quo-
tas in this country have always
favored some countries and ethnici-
ties over others, and that not all fami-
lies and ethnicities have the luxury of

Catering to illegal immigrants is a
slap in the face to every immigrant
who followed the rules. It was never
intended to be a right to come to the
United States. Nowhere in the
Constitution does it say, give us
your poor, your tired, your huddled
masses. Were reaching a point in
our society where instead of foreign-
ers becoming more American,
Americans act more foreign.
We are turning from a multi-ethnic
society to a multicultural one. Much
of this is due to the courts. We need to
establish a way of calling up judges
and forcing them to account for how
they came to their conclusions.

is illustrative. Like
Ms. Koelling, my
family immigrated
to this country in
the early 20th cen-
tury. But there was
no legal means for
my great-grandfather to enter this
country. Like the current proposed
ban on immigrants from seven coun-
tries, from 1883 to 1943 the Chinese
Exclusion Act prohibited all Chinese
from entering this country, on the
rationale that The coming of
Chinese laborers to this country
endangers the good order of certain
localities.
Faced with no legal means of enter-
ing the United States, my great-grand-
father sailed to Mexico, then snuck
across the border and made his way to
San Francisco. Once there, he worked
hard, followed the laws of his adop-
tive country and carved out his slice
of the American dream. Today, many
Chinese-Americans, including some
of the 44 percent of Asian-Americans
in Foster City and 19 percent of
Asian-Americans in San Mateo are
descendants of the wave of illegal
immigrant Chinese laborers who
crossed an ocean, disobeyed an unjust
law and carved out a piece of the
American dream for their families.

I know Ms. Koelling would not sug-
gest that the presence of so many
Chinese-Americans in her fair city
goes against the very fabric on
which this country is built. Indeed,
we are the fabric of this great country,
just as the large majority of immi-
grants (legal or not) currently seeking
refuge in the United States are the
future fabric upon which the story of
our great nation will be sewn.
The recent resolution by the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors is
not political grandstanding, as Ms.
Koelling suggests. It is instead a reaf-
rmation of the notion that we are a
nation of immigrants, and that the
vast majority of those seeking our
shores are not to be feared, stereo-
typed or cast as monsters. Instead,
they are a reminder of who we were
and who we will continue to be. They
are a reminder that the greatness of
the United States of America has
never been about building walls, but
about being open, welcoming and tol-
erant.

The conversation needs to have
multiple channels: how do we handle
refugees; how do we handle future bor-

Whats next door?
T
he internet offers many free ways to connect to
others but recently I became acquainted with
Nextdoor which connects you to your neighbor-
hood and is a great tool if you are looking for a baby-sit-
ter, gardener, handyman or want to get rid of two bikes
in your garage which are in too good shape to be picked
up as trash.
Nextdoor was started in 2010. The founders, a small
group of young technology entrepreneurs realized that
there were a variety of social networks to connect with
friends, family, work contacts, etc. but nothing existed
to connect people with the neighborhood in which they
live. The fledgling company spent a year before launch-
ing nationally in 2011.
In a little over five years, the company has grown
from 176 neighborhoods to more than 125,000. It now
has 100 employees.
Who are the biggest users and what are the most popu-
lar topics? They vary from local events, school activi-
ties, plumber and baby-sit-
ter recommendations,
upcoming garage sales,
lost pets and safety con-
cerns.
About 26 percent of the
conversations on Nextdoor
are recommendations, 19
percent are posts to sell or
buy, 16 percent are about
crime and safety issues, 8
percent lost and found, 8

The Daily Journal reported on a recent San Mateo City
ed not to prioritize dealing with the tenant housing cri-
sis since voters had overwhelmingly said no to rent con-
trol.
Most of the council suggested last years contentious
election over Measure Q, wherein the majority of voters
were against rent control and just cause eviction poli-
cies, signaled it was time for officials to drop it. Mayor
David Lim suggested creating a task force wherein hed
try to bring members from both sides of the issue to dis-
cuss the issue, but eventually dropped his proposal.
Others noted the issue of housing affordability was
still important but werent willing to discuss tenant pro-
tections. Instead, they agreed to continue focusing on
creating new units at city-owned sites downtown and at
Bay Meadows, as well as trying to encourage landlords
to accept tenants with Section 8 vouchers, a federal pro-
gram to assist very low-income families, the elderly and
those with disabilities. Councilwoman Maureen
Freschet, who opposed rent control, said she hopes dis-
cussions will continue on ways to address the housing
crisis that arent as divisive.
But there are other less drastic measures the council
might consider. And the crisis remains. Teachers are
sleeping in cars, on sofas in friends houses and then
deciding to take a job across the Bay where housing
costs are cheaper even though the school environment
might not be as great as it is here. Restaurants are hav-
ing trouble finding people to work in the kitchen and
serve meals and that is why you see We are Hiring
Signs all over.
Why pay for an expensive commute when you can find
work closer to home? No matter the merits, raising
teachers salaries is not the answer. Even young doctors
and lawyers cannot not afford to rent here. Nor will rais-
ing the minimum wage for hourly workers match the
hyped-up rental prices.
Certainly San Mateo is doing an excellent job of
building new housing and new affordable housing, but
some of that takes time. And it could be, by the time that
housing gets built, the economy will have shriveled and
prices will come down. So the crisis is immediate and
perhaps temporary. Thats why the council should not
put it on the back burner.

Income tax audits plummet as
IRS loses agents to budget cuts
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON As millions of
Americans file their income tax returns,
their chances of getting audited by the IRS
have rarely been so low.
The number of people audited by the IRS
in 2016 year dropped for the sixth straight
year, to just over 1 million. The last time so
few people were audited was 2004. Since
then, the U.S. has added about 30 million
people.
The IRS blames budget cuts as money for
the agency shrunk from $12.2 billion in
2010 to $11.2 billion last year. Over that
period, the agency has lost more than
17,000 employees, including nearly 7,000
enforcement agents. A little more than
80,000 people work at the IRS.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said
budget cuts are costing the federal govern-
ment between $4 billion and $8 billion a
year in uncollected taxes.
We are the only agency if you give us
more people and money, we give you more
money back, Koskinen said in an inter-
view.
So is it safe to cheat on your taxes? Not
necessarily, according to tax experts.
I dont think its open season for people
to cheat, said Joseph Perry, a partner at the
accounting firm Marcum. I think there are
a certain group of people that will always
try to push the envelope to get away with
things that they think they can get away
with.
As Koskinen put it: If youre a taxpayer,
you dont want to roll the roulette wheel and
China sets 2017 growth target of 6.5 percent or higher
By Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING Chinas top economic official
on Sunday set this years growth target at
about 6.5 percent, down from last years 6.7
percent expansion as Beijing tries to build a
consumer-driven economy and reduce
reliance on trade and investment.

have the little white ball land on your num-
ber because then were not very happy.
Most people dont have much of an
opportunity to cheat on their taxes because
the IRS collects a lot of information to ver-
ify taxpayers finances. Employers report
wages, banks report interest, brokerages
report capital gains and lenders report mort-
gage interest.
In 2016, the number of people audited by
the IRS dropped by 16 percent from the year
before. Just 0.7 percent of individuals were
audited, either in person or by mail. Thats
straining trade relations with Washington
and Europe. He warned against the danger of
rising political pressure for restraints on
trade in Western economies.
Li said the growth target is in line with
efforts to overhaul industry and create a mod-
erately prosperous society. Lis target of
around 6.5 percent or higher if possible is
down from last years goal of 6.5 to 7 percent
but, if it is achieved, still would be among the
worlds strongest.
He also called for attention to risks from
the lowest audit rate since 2003.
The higher your income, the more likely
you are to be audited. The IRS audited 1.7
percent of returns that reported more than
$200,000 in income. Agents audited 5.8
percent of returns that reported more than
$1 million in income.
Both audit rates were steep declines from
the year before.
The most well-known audit in
Washington is one on President Donald
Trump, who has cited it in refusing to
release his tax returns. The IRS, however,

omy has cooled steadily since 2010 as com-
munist leaders try to develop a consumer-
driven economy and reduce reliance on trade,
heavy industry and investment.
Chinese leaders have tried to downplay the
significance of the annual growth target and
shift focus to improvements in incomes,
consumer spending and other factors. But the
official target still is closely watched as a
forecast of economic performance, which has
repercussions throughout Asia, where China
is the biggest trading partner for all its
neighbors.
Private sector analysts expect no major

attorney general wants to start fingerprint-

The state last year adopted a new law that
officially legalized ride-hailing app compa-
nies and regulates them, but it didnt include
a fingerprinting requirement after Uber and
other companies strongly objected.
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, a
Democrat, introduced legislation on
Wednesday that would require prospective
drivers to go through a national criminal
records check.
Kilmartin had opposed last years legisla-

has said an audit would not prevent an indi-
vidual from releasing the returns.
Corporate audits were down by 17 percent
last year. Just 0.49 percent of corporations
were audited, the lowest rate in at least a
decade.
Republicans in Congress began cutting
money at the IRS after they took control of
both the House and Senate in the 2010 elec-
tions. They became more enthusiastic about
the spending cuts after it became public that
the agency had improperly singled out con-
servative political groups for extra scrutiny
when they applied for tax-exempt status
during the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Koskinen was not at the IRS when the
political groups were mistreated, but some
Republicans in Congress have been unhap-
py with his cooperation in their investiga-
tions.
When asked about IRS money, many
Republican lawmakers inevitably mention
the mistreatment of conservative groups.
Go look at all the areas where theyve
wasted money, mismanaged taxpayer
resources, said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
Not to mention the fact that, you know,
one of the reasons we went after them so
hard is they did target people for their polit-
ical views.
Democrats argue that its a costly move.
You know, when somebody doesnt pay,
that means that others pay more, said Rep.
Richard Neal of Massachusetts, the top
Democrat on tax-writing House Ways and
Means Committee. But I think theres no
question that the majority (Republicans)

have had a target on the IRS.

Instead, economists expect communist

We must be fully alert to the buildup of
risks related to non-performing assets, bond

that there was no plausible reason why
ride-hailing companies should be exempt

Kilmartin said Thursday that his own pro-
posal treats everyone the same and ensures
public safety. He said he is troubled by
Ubers insistence on using a third-party pri-

ST. PAUL, Minn. Zach Parise scored in
his return to Minnesotas lineup and Devan

a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.
Eric Staal had two goals for the Wild, who
won for the third time in four games. Jason

each returned after missing three games
with the mumps.

and Ryan White from

next day, prior to a game
against the Los Angeles Kings, the team
announced Parise and Pominville had been
diagnosed with the mumps.
Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau finally
had his new-look lineup in place Sunday, and
Parise started the scoring 11:06 in on a power
play.
Parise, with his back to the net, deftly
deflected a pass from Pominville between his
legs and the legs of Jones.
Staal, the early-season scoring leader for
the Wild, had gone 18 games with just one
goal, an empty-net tally against Nashville
five games ago. He gave Minnesota a two-
goal lead after Matt Dumba collected a loose
puck in the corner and made a spinning pass
right to Staals stick in the right circle.
Staal added another empty-netter for his
fourth two-goal game of the season.
Karlsson scored in the first, but San Jose
was 0 for 3 on the power play. Even as the
Sharks have made a move to the top of the
Pacific Division, the power play has mis-
fired. San Jose is 4 of 32 with the man advan-
tage (12.5 percent) over its past 12 games.

A tie earns Woodside a co-title Caada to
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN JOSE Woodside soccer coach Jose
Navarrete may have had better or more tal-
ented teams than the 2016-17 edition of the
Wildcats. He and the program already have a
pair of Central Coast Section titles under
their collective belts to prove it.
But Navarrete may not be any more proud
of any team than this seasons collection.
Facing second-seeded Santa Clara in the
CCS Division I championship game, the
fifth-seeded Wildcats scratched and clawed
their way to a scoreless draw, settling for a
co-championship with the Bruins after 80
minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of
overtime at Valley Christian High School
Saturday afternoon to give the Wildcats
their second straight CCS title. They beat
Mountain View 1-0 in the Open Division
championship game in 2016.
Our team showed what we are about just
playing hard, Navarrete said. We didnt
have any beautiful games, but they played
hard every minute. They never quit.
The Wildcats never quit when Woodside
was being dominated in the opening 20, 25
minutes of the game, and not when Santa
Clara goalkeeper Samantha Coelho denied
them on the most dangerous chance of the
game; and not when this was supposed to be
a rebuilding year after they graduated the
most prolific goal scorer in CCS history;
and then were hammered by injuries and
decisions not to play high school soccer
this season.
And not even when the game was delayed
for a half hour after a Santa Clara player
broke her leg and an ambulance took her to
a local emergency room.
Weve been there before (dealing with a
long delay), Navarrete said. Against Leigh
(in a 2015 quarterfinal loss), it stopped for
over an hour because of lightning.
The Wildcats have been battling all year.

Caada 86, ARC 71
elite eight
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the second time in three years, Caada
College is heading to the elite eight.
The Caada mens basketball team made
quick work of visiting American River
College in Saturdays sendoff to the Stable
Center, as the Colts rolled to an 86-71 win
in their second-round playoff game at the
Caada gymnasium.
It was the final official event of any kind
scheduled for the Stable
Center a nickname for
the Colts home facility
bestowed by former
coach Pete Diepenbrock
which is set for demo-
lition beginning early
next year. And Caada
made it a good one to
return the program to
Mike Reynoso prominence.
It was two years ago the Colts advanced to
the state final four, where they lost a heart-
breaking overtime game 75-68 to Saddleback
in the state semifinals. Last year, Caada
came within one game of finishing in the cel-
lar of the Coast Conference North, causing
head coach Mike Reynoso to retool his
entire roster going into this season.
Were really excited, Reynoso said. We
prepared for this all year and were proud of
these guys getting us back to where we need-
ed to be. After a down year with some
injuries, we were all disappointed we didnt
make it back last year because thats part
of the culture I want to bring to Canada. It
was a bump in the road but we got over it.
American River opened Saturdays show-
down with the hot hand, knocking down a
pair of 3-pointers en route to taking an early
10-6 lead. But the Colts held steady to take
the lead midway through the first half and
never looked back. After taking a 46-31 lead
into halftime, Caada opened the second
half on a 10-0 run.
We did a great job, Reynoso said. We
prepared. I thought we had a great practice

HMB GIRLS
Continued from page 11
It was one of those where we made the
momentum come to us, HMB head coach
Antonio Veloso said. But we hit our stride
halfway through league, and once we lost to
South City that second time, it kind of
clicked in our heads that weve got to do
everything on our own. Nobody is going to
give it to us.
Walling wasnt a one-woman show, but
with two dynamic shots in the third quarter
she put the Cougars on her shoulders.
After SHP (12-12) tied it 23-23, HMB
went on a 7-0 run starting with junior Ana
Cordes burying a short jumper off an assist
from Carolyn Inglis. Senior forward Ally
Longaker followed with an assist to Inglis,
who drilled a 3. Then Walling went to town.
With the most colorful high-top kicks on
the court, Walling danced through two defend-
ers for an underhand finish at the cylinder.
After SHP closed it to 30-25, Walling then
capped a 10-0 run with a commanding touch
on a running baseline jumper.
Just as key to her shooting was Wallings
role in breaking the swarming full-press of
SHP. In the second quarter, HMB didnt pro-
duce its first field-goal attempt of the period
until the halfway mark. The Cougars ulti-
mately shot 1 for 7 in the quarter, commit-
ting eight turnovers, mostly a cause of the
trapping Gators.
HMB switched up its inbound lineup in the
second half, however. Instead of Walling
throwing the ball in, she moved onto the
court to take the inbound pass and set the
Cougars in quick motion.
That was the biggest change from the
first to the second half, Veloso said. That
was actually the only change we talked about
in this locker room.
HMB shot 47.6 percent from the field,
including 9 of 15 in a red-hot first quarter, then
8 of 13 in the third. Longaker added 12 points
and a game-high seven rebounds. Inglis and
senior forward Siobhan Calhoun each scored
six points, while Cordes totaled five.
HMB got a big third-quarter boost from its
bench though. Junior guard Makenna
Colucci totaled seven points, while junior
guard Katherine Dioli produced four.
That second group that comes in, they
just play with a lot of energy and a lot of
enthusiasm, Veloso said.
And Veloso credited Dioli for her chops on
advancing through the SHP press.
I tell you what, today, if she didnt break
the press like she did and pass those balls, I
dont think its the same thing, Veloso
said. She did a great job.
SHP ran a balanced offense as well. Junior
guard Grace Battles scored a game-high 15
points, while junior Tatum Angotti totaled
nine, senior Natalie Zimits and freshman
Denise Stine scored six apiece, while Lagi
Pakola (four), sophomore Zoe Zaharias
(three) and freshman Charlotte Levison
(three) all added points as well.
It was a tall order for SHP to return to the
CCS championship this year, after winning
the Division IV title last season, due to the
graduation of standout point guard Riley
Hemm. With a majority underclassman ros-
ter and just two seniors this season, howev-
er, the Gators avoided what seemed destined
as a rebuilding year at the outset.
We lost a lot last year, and to be able to
rebound and come back they just dont
understand [how special that is] right now,
SHP head coach Melanie Murphy said.
Theyre upset. Theyre down. But the posi-
tive is we get to move on.
Both SHP and HMB advance to the CIF
Northern California Division IV bracket,
which opens Wednesday.

the Warriors end their first regular-season
losing streak in nearly two years.
Curry scored 15 on 6-of-8 shooting in the
third quarter, once the music came back. He
noticed the lack of noise in the locker room
before the game, saying the Warriors were
trying to pump themselves up once they
took the court.
That was pathetic. It was ridiculous. It
changed the flow of the game, it changed
everything, said Golden States Draymond
Green, adding that it was disrespectful to
innovators of NBA in-game entertainment.
They need to trash that, because thats
exactly what it was.
The Splash Brothers had dried up as Golden
State dropped two in row following Kevin
Durants knee injury, but they regained their
touch Sunday. Curry hit five 3-pointers,
passing Chauncey Billups for 10th place,
and added eight rebounds and six assists.
Thompson had a 3-pointer and two other
baskets during a late surge that allowed
Golden State to pull away after leading by
one midway through the fourth quarter.
We knew wed be fine, getting back to
who we are, Curry said.
Derrick Rose scored 28 points, and
Kristaps Porzingis had 24 points and 15
rebounds for the Knicks, whose fans
embraced the Warriors with their own team
barely hanging on to playoff hopes.
The Warriors lost to Washington in the
game Durant was injured and followed that
with a season-low 87 points Thursday in a
loss to Chicago, ending their NBA-record
streak of consecutive regular-season games
without losing two in a row at 146.
Were surviving to this point, coach
Steve Kerr said. We obviously lost our first
two games without him, so its good to get a
win without him tonight. This is how its
going to be for a while, so we have to get
used to it.

NASCAR brief
Keselowski steals win after Harvick caught speeding
HAMPTON, Ga. Kevin Harvick was faster than every-
one at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Too fast, it turned out.
Harvick ruined a dominating performance by speeding on
his final pit stop, allowing Brad Keselowski to steal a
NASCAR Monster Energy Cup victory Sunday.
Im just snake-bit here, Harvick
said. But its my own doing.
Harvick won the first two stages under
NASCARs new race format and led a
staggering 293 out of 325 laps overall.
But, after a late yellow came out when
Austin Dillon lost power, the No. 4
Stewart-Haas Racing Ford eclipsed the
45 mph speed limit going into the pits.
The ensuing drive-thru penalty pushed
Kevin Harvick Kyle Larson to the lead but he couldnt
hold off Keselowski, who surged ahead on the backstretch
with six laps to go and cruised to a 0.564-second victory.
Keselowski, who had his own misfortune at Atlanta in
2013 that cost him a shot at making the Chase, wasnt
about to turn down Harvicks gift.
Harvick seemed poised to win at the 1.54-mile trioval for
the first time since his initial Cup victory in 2001, just three
races after he got his chance following the death of Dale
Earnhardt. Instead, it was another bitter disappointment.
Harvick also led more laps than anyone each of the last three
years, a total of 442 in all, but was never ahead when it mattered.

Russian lawmaker aims to make

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW A Russian lawmaker

Organized groups of Russian fans,
many with martial arts training,

That inspired Igor Lebedev, who sits

rules for what he calls draka, the
Russian word for fight 20 fighters
on each side, unarmed, in an arena.
In a statement on the website of the
nationalist LDPR party, Lebedev said
organized brawls could turn fans

also claimed it would serve as an
example for English fans, who he
characterized as undisciplined louts
and poor fighters.

It isnt the first time Lebedev has
courted controversy with his views
on hooligans. He hailed the vio-

Russian fans: Well done lads, keep

There was an early indication of what might be as
Woodside finally went on the attack five minutes in. Only a
dubious offside call negated what would be a prime chance.
But that chance appeared to settle down the Wildcats and
proved to them they could compete with the high-pressure
Bruins.

Serra played a remarkable defensive game,
keeping El Caminos speedy forwards in

shots on goal in the match with exceptional
coverage on the wing by Serra sophomore
defender Jake Canevaro and strong counter-
play by the middle defensemen, juniors Josh

emotional goal in the 19th minute. Just one
minute prior, ODonoghue missed on a quick-
strike chance after turning the corner on the
left wing and buzzing an attempt on the run
just high of the crossbar.
I should have crossed it; I should have
passed to my teammates, ODonoghue said.
But then they found me later. Thats how we
work here. Were a team. Were all together. And
when people make mistakes, we pick em up.
One minute later, ODonoghue redeemed
his frustration. The Padres pushed right back
with a similar attack up the left side, this time
with senior Joe Montero turning the corner to
draw Deinla out in a 2-on-1. No sooner did El

Montero send a cross to a streaking
ODonoghue for the wide-open chip in to
give Serra a 1-0 lead.

minute to tie it on a long throw in that found
the head of senior Shayan Charalaghi on the
fly. Charalaghi used his elite leaping ability
to soar above the pack deep in the penalty
we came in obviously like a revenge match.
Fittingly, the last two players to touch the
ball for Menlo (19-7 overall) were two of the
schools most impactful football players,
Pegley and JH Tevis. So when Pegley dished to
Tevis with the game tied 40-40 in the waning
seconds of overtime, how was destiny supposed
to allow for Tevis to give up the ball?
Well, it didnt.
On a play designed to go to Menlos marque
point guard Joe Foley, Tevis a verbal com-
mit to Cal football as a lineman couldnt
distribute to his double-teamed teammate.
Instead, he dribbled baseline from the corner,
pulled up for a four-foot jumper and buried it
with four seconds remaining on the clock to
give Menlo the 42-40 edge.
Seconds later when time expired as HMB
senior Isiah Margate missed with a despera-
tion half-court attempt, Tevis got the foot-
ball treatment, getting tackled on the court
by his Menlo teammates in celebration of
box and guide in the game-tying goal with a
header. The 1-1 tie, however, would last just
five minutes.
With yellow cards flying like yellow flags
in a throwback Oakland Raiders football
game, Serra fought for the upper hand just
after ODonoghue was sent off in the 31st
minute for a yellow. But the Padres defended
the El Camino free kick and quickly counter-
attacked for one of their own, setting up
Johnston just past midfield.
I told my sideline partner [Canevaro] I was
going to go for it because I have the wind
and I think I can do this, Johnston said.
From approximately 50 yards out, Johnston
used the wind at his back to launch an attempt
on goal. Deinla leapt for it and appeared to
have a Serra player collide with him as the ball
passed him, but the contact drew no whistle,
with the high-flying shot tagging the back of
the net for Johnstons second score of the year,
giving Serra a 2-1 lead.
In the second half, the Padres scored back-
to-back insurance goals. In the 57th minute,
Montero earned his second assist by
wrestling possession near the El Camino end
line; he then weaved a pass up top to junior
the programs eighth all-time CCS crown,
and first since 2011-12.
I feel great, Tevis said of getting dropped
by his teammates. Never been better.
Margate nearly sent the raucous capacity
crowd home in regulation time with a look at
a buzzer-beater at the end of the fourth quar-
ter. With three seconds left amid a 38-38 tie,
the senior gathered a loose ball at the top of
the arc, dribbled around traffic and let loose
with a left-handed 3-point attempt that drew
iron just short of the mark.
With the HMB girls basketball team having
won its CCS Division IV championship game
earlier in the evening the first in the history
of the girls program Margates bomb would
have made for a fairytale end for the Coast Side.

in overtime, but it was all that was needed.
The Knights solved a rebounding problem
that allowed top-seed HMB (21-8) to get back
into the game in the third quarter; with Menlo up
30-21 midway through the third, HMB relied on
five offensive rebounds in the quarter to go on
an 8-2 run to make it a single-possession game.
But after a pair of free throws by Margate gave
HMB a 38-37 lead, its first of the half, with 25
seconds remaining in regulation, Menlo got the
ball into the hands of Foley at the other end of
the court to draw a foul.
Foley scored a game-high 16 points, but
none were bigger than the free throw he hit to
tie it and force OT. His distribution earlier in
the game set the tone as the junior totaled
five assists, all coming in the first half.

Wave of IS car bombs targets
Iraqi troops in western Mosul
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD Iraqi troops encoun-
tered the heaviest clashes yet with
Islamic State group fighters Sunday in
western Mosul since the start of the
new push more than two weeks ago,
according to a senior commander.
Maj. Gen. Haider al-Maturi of the
Federal Police Commandos Division
told the Associated Press that IS mili-
tants dispatched at least six suicide car
bombs, which were all destroyed
before reaching the troops. The mili-
tants, he said, are moving from house
to house and deploying snipers.
The wave of heavy resistance comes
as Iraqi forces launched attacks
against IS-held neighborhoods in
western Mosul from three points
Sunday morning. The Federal Police
are closing in on the citys main gov-
ernment complex in the Dawasa
neighborhood and Iraqs special
forces are attempting to push into the
Shuhada and Mansour neighbor-
hoods.
IS fighters have some mortar
(teams) and snipers positioned inside
homes, said Iraqi special forces Maj.
Ali Talib, explaining that U.S.-led
coalition airstrikes have helped
destroy some of the IS defenses, but
clashes are still ongoing.
Al-Maturi, of the federal police, said
his troops are now some 500 meters
away from the government complex.
Also on Sunday, The Hague,
An Iraqi family walks from Islamic State controlled part of Mosul toward Iraqi special
forces soldiers during a battle in Mosul.
Netherlands-based Organization for
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
said in a statement the organization
was seriously concerned about
reports of chemical weapons use in
Mosul.
The OPCW has asked Iraqi authori-
ties for more information and has
offered its assistance to the Iraqi
investigation, the statement said.
The alleged attack occurred last week
in eastern Mosul, an area declared
fully liberated by Iraqi forces in
January. The attack hit a neighbor-

REUTERS
hood along the Tigris River, which
roughly divides the city in two.
Hospital officials said 10 patients
were admitted for exposure and would
be discharged in the coming days.
The United Nations warned that the
alleged use of chemical weapons, if
confirmed, would be a war crime and a
serious violation of international
humanitarian law.
The push on Mosuls west was
launched about two weeks ago after the
eastern half of the city was declared
fully liberated in January.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Around the world
Fillon clings to French
presidential race; party not sure
PARIS With the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, French
conservative Francois Fillon clung tenaciously to his pres-
idential candidacy Sunday, emboldened
by thousands of supporters at a high-
stakes rally aimed at quashing pressure
on him to step aside because of impend-
ing corruption charges.
Crowds of flag-waving voters chanti-
ng Fillon, President! appeared to give
him the confidence he needs to keep up
the fight. That support came despite a
raft of defections by conservative allies
Francois Fillon in recent days that threatened to plunge
Frances unpredictable presidential cam-
paign into unprecedented disarray just seven weeks before
its first-round election.
No one can stop me from being a candidate, he said on
France-2 television Sunday night. The rally, he said was a
demonstration that my legitimacy remains very strong.
Fillon, a former prime minister, apologized to voters for
errors in judgment but insisted he was being unfairly target-
ed in an election season. Once the front-runner in Frances
presidential race, he is now being eclipsed by two other
candidates.
South Korea says North
Korea fired projectile into ocean
SEOUL, South Korea South Koreas military says that
rival North Korea has fired a projectile into the waters off
the Norths east coast.
It was not immediately clear what was fired, but
Pyongyang has staged a series of missile test-launches of
various range in recent months. Leader Kim Jong Un is
pushing for a nuclear and missile program that can deter
what he calls U.S. and South Korean hostility toward the
North.
The launch comes days after Seoul and Washington start-
ed massive joint military drills.
The Souths Joint Chief of Staff said in a statement that
Mondays launch was made in the Tongchang-ri area in
North Pyongan province.
